Dark Cybertron

An event published by IDW between 2013 and 2014. It coincided with the Transformers Brand 30th anniversary and second anniversary of IDW's most recent relaunch of their Transformers comics. This storyline takes place in alternating issues of More than Meets the Eye and Robots in Disguise with special one-shots that make up the first and last chapter. It was produced in conjunction with Hasbro's Transformers: Generations toyline and both the prelude and the event itself (eighteen issues long) were packaged with Generations figures, all of which were incorporated into the story. Dark Cybertron was followed by the Dawn of the Autobots post-event branding made as a good jumping on point for new readers and introducing the new Windblade mini-series.
