The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye

The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye is an ongoing comic series published by IDW Publishing, starting in January 2012. This series follows the adventures of Rodimus and his team as they travel through space, hunting for the legendary Knights of Cybertron (so they tell themselves) and having adventures along the way. But mostly it's about lonely nobodies hanging out pretending they have friends. The series picks off from The Death of Optimus Prime, the epilogue to the previous ongoing, and takes place at the same time as a second ongoing series, Robots in Disguise, which together form the fourth major "act" of IDW's then-ongoing Generation 1 continuity. Critics in wider comic and sci-fi fandom have praised it, with many a gushing article and award nomination. The politics, the plotting, and the gender and sexual politics have all come in for favoured nods. Most of fandom holds up 'season 1' as one of the top Transformers stories ever, though 'season 2' had more criticism and claims of shark-jumping from Transformers fans (though not critics) after the "Elegant Chaos" storyline. The series concluded with issue #57, followed by a Revolution-branded one-shot (which proved polarizing as fans either loved the barbed satire about crossover events or really didn't), before relaunching with a new artistic creative team as The Transformers: Lost Light in December 2016.
