For in-depth, hard-hitting news coverage no matter where you are in the positive polarity universes, you always look FIRST to Around Cybertron. Your hosts are there for you with breaking news from the front lines. Whether it's Decepticon malcontents or plush lizards, they bring you the news you need, when you need it.

In the negative polarity universes, however, your hosts bring you the news that your Autobot overlords want you to have, when they want you to have it, via the ABN (Autobot Broadcast Network, presumably). And you'd better be watching, if ya knows what's good for ya.


"Around Cybertron" strips:
"TransTech"

"Shattered Glass"

"Wingsverse"

Notes

[edit]
  • Around Cybertron is a mini-comic written and drawn by Jesse Wittenrich that appears on the back cover of the Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club magazine. The events that the host reports on are generally related to one or another of the club's ongoing storylines.
  • The comic title switched to a new Indiana Jones-style font when the locale switched from the TransTech to the Shattered Glass setting, and Rook went from his original incarnation to a Shattered Glass doppelganger.
  • It then switched again to a more classic "nuts and bolts" look when the locale changed to the Wings Universe, and we see Rook's mentor Bishop, back in the early days of the program.
