Overview
Creative team
The series is written by John Barber, author of IDW's previous Dark of the Moon prequels, Sector 7, Foundation and Rising Storm, adapting Ehren Kruger's screenplay with numerous added references and caveats to forge tighter connections—and explain away any apparent contradictions—with pre-established IDW stories. Art for the adaptation is provided by newcomer Jorge Jimenez Moreno, who brings a manga-style flavor to the live-action movie universe.
Notes
- Months before the film's actual release, a large chunk of this comic was leaked by Amazon, spoiling a large number of fans about the major twist of Sentinel Prime's betrayal that the entire film hinged on. In fact, it was this leak that convinced Michael Bay to enforce an executive order, forbidding any prequel or adaptation of Age of Extinction to prevent a similar incident from happening again. Ultimately, it would take seven years before IDW would be allowed to produce another movie tie-in comic, in the shape of 2018's Transformers: Bumblebee Movie Prequel.
Collections
- Bonus material includes all cover art from each issue.
- Atypically, this trade paperback was published before the individual issues of the series. The prose story Convergence is not included in the collected edition, having been produced for the subsequently-released issues as bonus content for supporting readers.
