| This article is about the IDW mini-series. For the Generation 1 Decepticon, see Stormbringer (G1). |
The Transformers: Stormbringer is a 4-issue limited series published by IDW Publishing and set in the main IDW continuity. Occurring roughly during the same period of time as the Infiltration arc, it establishes the situation of Cybertron and the rest of the Autobots and Decepticons not on Earth.

Overview
Stormbringer gives readers their first look at the larger war beyond Earth. Cybertron is a dead, wasted world, victim of some distant cataclysm that elder Transformers, including Optimus Prime and Megatron, were present at. Prime's musings establish that the long war between the Autobots and Decepticons was directly responsible for the cataclysm, and in flashback we discover that a single demonic figure was somehow the focus for or avatar of the event; this being was so powerful that only the combined might of the Autobots and Decepticons could stop it.
Both Autobots and Decepticons appear to have large, star-spanning armies. Similar Decepticon infiltration cells to the one portrayed in Infiltration are seen on the planets Nebulos and Varas Centralus. The Autobots' main base is a space station orbiting a planet at least nineteen megacycles away from Cybertron via foldspace travel, and they possess at least one space battlecruiser, the Xantium.
Creative team
Stormbringer was scripted by Transformer veteran Simon Furman and penciled by Don Figueroa—the pair also worked together on Dreamwave Productions' The War Within and IDW's Beast Wars: The Gathering. Stormbringer is followed by The Transformers: Escalation.
