With Hasbro moving the license to make Transformers comics elsewhere at the end of the year, IDW is winding things up with a look at a world with just one Cybertronian left.
Transformers: Last Bot Standing is set in a hypothetical future in which the Cybertronians are about to become extinct. A remote planet is in the early stages of industrialization when a shape-shifting robot falls from the sky, changing everything. Transformers veteran Nick Roche will write the four-issue miniseries and collaborate with artist E.J. Su on the interior art. The miniseries will launch in May, and each issue will feature a main cover by Roche and a retailer incentive variant by Su.
“The last remaining Cybertronian, stalked by the sins of their entire race, must save the world one final time,” Roche said in a statement accompanying the announcement. “In a way, Last Bot Standing is a proper farewell, as our creative team bows out of IDW’s Transformers universe in the most explosive and apocalyptic way imaginable. To have E.J. Su, the visual architect of IDW’s definitive Transformers run, be the one to depict ‘The End of All Things’ (with colors from the astounding Rebecca Nalty) is the most perfect and bittersweet piece of artistic casting I could think of.”
IDW’s license for Transformers comics will end in December 2022 (see “IDW’s G.I. Joe and Transformers Licenses to Conclude at End of Year”).
