Overview
Although Bumblebee was elected as Autobot leader, he gets little respect, as Autobots strike out on their own or disrespect his authority. A rogue faction within Skywatch contacts the Autobots and sets up a meeting with Bumblebee to enlist the Autobots' help in capturing Decepticons. Bumblebee agrees and the bots are fitted with special badges to cloak them from the main Skywatch force, but when the Colonel orders the capture of Blurr and resentment ensues, the Autobots learn that the badges also have the ability to immobilize them.
Creative team
Transformers: Bumblebee is written by Zander Cannon and illustrated by Chee Yang Ong, who both worked on stories in All Hail Megatron Coda. Moose Baumann provides colors. Guido Guidi and Josh Burcham team up to provide alternate covers.
Notes
- The events of the miniseries take place between issues 3 and 5 of the ongoing title.
- According to Andy Schmidt, this miniseries was intended to appeal mainly to younger readers, while still fitting into the main storyline.[1]
- The titles of all four issues are derived from incidents in Greek mythology and legend (the sword of Damocles, the Gordian Knot, the Trojan Horse and the flight of Icarus). There is precedent for this, albeit less high-falutin'.
Collections
- Bonus material unknown
- The Transformers: The IDW Collection Volume Six (May 9, 2012) ISBN 1613771835 / ISBN 978-1613771839
