Transformers Animated (IDW)

Transformers Animated is a multi-volume adaptation of the cartoon series published by IDW Publishing, debuting in January 2008, and set in the Transformers Animated continuity. Thirteen volumes were released, covering the entirety of the first two seasons of the cartoon.

Notes

• A fourteenth volume was originally scheduled to be released in early 2010. It failed to materialize, but Amazon listings revealed the then upcoming Transformers Animated: The Adventure Continues! Volume 1, apparently intended to continue the series. That, too, was cancelled prior to its release date, and the series ended with only seasons 1 and 2 of the cartoon adapted.

Creative team

Comic book editor Zachary Rau adapted Volume 1, with Leslie Robbins providing lettering and Justin Eisinger editing. Volume 2 was adapted by Dene Nee, who also did the lettering along with Robbie Robbins, and editors by Ted Adams. From Volume 3 on, the creative team settled down to Zachary Rau adapting, with Eisinger editing and letting by San Diego-based graphic artist Tom B. Long.
