Overview
In contrast to the Cybertron-based setting of Robots in Disguise, the series focuses on an expedition to locate the Knights of Cybertron, a mythical group who left the planet ten million years prior to the present day to spread peace and enlightenment across the universe. The book features an ensemble cast.
Creative team
The series is written by James Roberts with Nick Roche providing art for the first issue, and Alex Milne thereafter. Roche will reportedly pencil the sixth issue as well, and Milne will return after that.
Collections
- Contains issues #1 to #3, as well as the preceding The Death of Optimus Prime one-shot.
- Bonus material includes art from most covers, design sketches from Alex Milne, and editor's comment.
Notes
- Roberts had been asked to pen MTMTE before writing Chaos Theory. He included Whirl as the prison guard in the story knowing he would become a regular in MTMTE. [1]
- When Costa and Roberts co-plotted [[Chaos Part 2: Numbers|Chaos], Costa let Roberts script all of the Kimia escape shuttle scenes knowing that Chromedome, Brainstorm, Swerve etc would be boarding the Lost Light. [2]
