Notes
- It is the first digital-only Transformers title, released as a series of biweekly, low price chapters of eight pages.
- The project had been thought up for years and would originally have been a present-day character piece with a lot of flashbacks. Since some of the ideas and themes were similar to "Chaos Theory" (which hadn't come out yet), Andy Schmidt walked them through what James Roberts was doing and that led to Metzen and Dille going full-on flashback.[1]
