Overview
With their members running low on energon and slowly being captured by Skywatch, tension is high amongst the Autobots. After a rescue raid led by Hot Rod results in Ironhide's death, Optimus Prime surrenders to Skywatch. Hot Rod takes the opportunity to try and leave the planet, and several others join him. Those who remain elect Bumblebee as their new leader. Hot Rod's group is attacked by Decepticons who were left behind or who arrived on Earth after their main force left. However, they decide that fighting is senseless and agree to work together to try and escape from Earth. Meanwhile, Ultra Magnus arrives to investigate the death of Ironhide and surrender of Optimus. More Autobots, fearing they will be arrested by Magnus, also go AWOL, but most of them are captured by Skywatch and used as a bargaining tool by Spike Witwicky to force information out of Optimus Prime. Ultra Magnus decides to go after Hot Rod. Thundercracker, having been shot down by Skywarp three years previously, starts to develop admiration for Earth and its inhabitants. Meanwhile, Magnus arrives at Hot Rod's camp and attempts to capture Swindle, but is stopped by Hot Rod. He also fails in trying to get Hot Rod to disassemble the ship his party is building to get off Earth.
Creative team
The series is written by Mike Costa, who penned two of the stories in All Hail Megatron Coda. Line-art is provided by fan-favorite, Don Figueroa, officially marking his return from Transformers hiatus. Don's art has been modified somewhat to make the Transformers more technically complex (more like the movie 'bots) but still recognizable to their classic designs.

Items of note
- In early November 2009, IDW released a three page preview of the issue... from the end of the comic, instead of the front like they normally do. That's right, the company itself released major spoilers that blew the ending of the first issue. [1] Head editor Andy Schmidt stated the reason for this was "we realized that we need to let people know why this book is important." [2]
- The Transformers is constantly advertised as IDW's first ongoing Transformers comic series, which is weird considering that IDW stressed over and over after the release of Infiltration #0 that that was the start of an ongoing series and not just a miniseries.[citation needed]
