Revision as of 22:55, 8 July 2022

This article is about the comic series. For the titular starship, see Lost Light.
His light died, so Rodimus decided to get this cool bad guy deco.

The Transformers: Lost Light is a finished comic series, a rebranded version of and sequel to The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye. Debuting in December 2016, it ran alongside sister titles Optimus Prime and Till All Are One. The story is basically 'Season 3' of More Than Meets The Eye and leads up to "the grand finale" over two years. [1] Lost Light concluded with issue #25 in November 2018 as part of the ending of the IDW Universe.

« The Transformers: Lost Light issues

Overview

In the wake of the confrontation with the Decepticon Justice Division on Necroworld, the marooned Team Rodimus attempts to return to the Lost Light with the help of the "Disappeared"—the various time travelling Transformers plucked from across time and space. Among them are runaway blacksmith-turned adventurer Anode and her partner Lug, who struggle to adjust to the present day as they deal with demons from their past.

Before Team Rodimus can get offworld, a rogue geobomb, courtesy of the Galactic Council shunts the planet into an entirely different universe. When Rodimus and a small crew of Autobots attempt to return to Cybertron, they find themselves in the middle of an alternate Cybertron, where Megatron was never born and Functionism reigns supreme. The Lost Light crew find themselves embroiled in the Council's plot to consolidate their power by crushing the heroic Anti-Vocationist League and their supporters. With the help of the native universe's Rung — his true function finally revealed — the Autobots manage to foil their plan and return home... but accidentally leave Megatron behind. Taking command of the AVL, Megatron and his old friend Terminus start their revolution anew.

The crew of the Lost Light finally get offworld in a mass displaced Decepticon, but Tailgate, his mutating outlier powers growing increasingly destructive and erratic, volunteers to stay behind in the hopes that a cure can be found for his condition. Fangry, his pride wounded by an earlier encounter with the super-powered Autobot, takes advantage of the situation to bury him alive for another six million years.

What's needed: remainder of series


Creative team

Series writer James Roberts (left) and artist Jack Lawrence (right)

James Roberts returns as the writer. Due to IDW editorial wanting a fresh artistic start, UK artist Jack Lawrence replaces previous MTMTE mainstay Alex Milne, with Milne providing alternate covers for issues.[2] Milne later provided art for issue #13 of the series. Joana Lafuente continues to provide colours for most issues, continuing from MTMTE #29.

Priscilla Tramontano provided art for #8-#9, while Andrew Griffith covered the four page interlude of issue #12. The 'Scavengers' arc from #14-15 had its art duties shared by Sara Pitre-Durocher and Brendan Cahill. E. J. Su returned to the Transformers series for the beginning of the series final arc, issue #19. Scheduled for bi-monthly release until its end, Cahill will return for #22 and #24, with Casey Coller working on #20.[3]

Soundtrack

Continuing the tradition started in MTMTE, Roberts posted songs on his Twitter as an unofficial soundtrack for each issue leading up to their release. As its predecessor's third "season", it gets its own theme song. Additionally, in October of 2018, leading up to the release of issue #25, Roberts built up a playlist for the series including a mixture of new and old songs; the new ones are listed here.
