As Optimus and his recruits take off to stop an even deadlier threat-an asteroid belt powerful enough to destroy the metal world-Megatron leads a team of Decepticons after in hot pursuit! But what other motivations does Prime have for this mission? How does it benefit Shockwave' s goals? And what does it all have to do with a secret on Earth in the eleventh century?

Also contains annotations that further expand on how the series fits into the wider Transformers world. Collects the four-issue Transformers ' 84- Secret and Lies series, plus the Transformers ' 84 #0 one-shot.

It' s the closest, story-wise, I' ve felt to the original comic since the original comic. A brilliant idea by Furman turned into an even better script. After all the different cartoons, live-action films, and new comics that have come out since 1984, this book is just as new, fresh, and sharp as it was then. --Comic Watch Artist Guido Guidi captures the look of the 80s comic that featured the original Generation One version of the Transformers. --Razorfine Captivating. Fans will likely have their interest piqued by Furman' s story and should check this out. --Flickering Myth Fans of old school Transformers comics are going to appreciate what the team has done here. --ComicBook. com I would recommend this comic to hardcore Transformers fans. --But Why Tho?
