The series is written by Brian Ruckley. Issues are regularly drawn by more than one artist; duties were initially split between Angel Hernandez and Cachét Whitman, with Hernandez illustrating the majority of the pages in each issue, [2] while the second arc of the series saw Anna Malkova and Beth McGuire-Smith join Hernandez as the book's primary recurring artists.

Notes
- Transformers makes extensive use of Generations toy designs, notably from Siege, including toy-mandatory features such as protruding hinge covers. Characters without Generations figures generally utilize the most recent alternative (such as from Cyberverse) or their original Generation 1 designs. Comments from at least one artist indicate this is not a Hasbro mandate[3] but rather a consensus for contemporary consistency.
- Initial promotion for the series stated that Hernandez and Ron Joseph would be the artists, but Joseph had to drop the project for personal reasons and was replaced by Whitman.[2]
