Transformers connections
Having previously reinterpreted Transformers in the pages of Transformers vs. G.I. Joe, Scioli brought his pen to the franchise's one-time rival, GoBots. Scioli's series recast the alien cyborgs as mechanical servants created by humans on Earth — servants that ended up rising up against their masters and creating a new world, Gobotron.
While initially seeming to be standalone, without the connections to Transformers previous media made, the final issue of Go-Bots saw the newly peaceful Gobotron taking off to create a multiverse's worth of new planets, while Road Ranger and Bug Bite set about creating "optimized" successors to themselves — and the remains of the deceased Cy-Kill and Leader-1 are repaired and combined into a familiar-looking red, grey and blue jet. Though never stated outright, the implication is that the Go-Bots would go on to create the Transformers multiverse and all the versions of Cybertron that populate it — though in many cases, this lies in contradiction to past fiction.
Still — after years of arguments over whether GoBots are Transformers, we can now start arguing over whether Transformers are, in fact, Go-Bots.
