Add all four issues of the Transformers ’84: Secret and Lies miniseries and the Transformers ’84 #0 one-shot to your comics collection with the trade paperback version, now available for Amazon pre-order targeting a February 16, 2021 release date. Revisit the details below, then sound off on the 2005 boards!
As the Cybertronian Civil War rages between Optimus Prime’s Autobots and Megatron’s Decepticons, Shockwave has encountered a new obstacle to the Decepticons’ victory and subjugation of the planet: Megatron himself! 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? Beloved original series writer Simon Furman returns, accompanied by the equally accomplished Guido Guidi and John-Paul Bove, to tell a new tale in the 1980s Transformers comic universe!

yep me too
This is the first IDW comic I have bought since the old Beast Wars Trades they did years ago and some of the old classic UK collected trades stuff. Regeneration I skipped despite it having my dream team working on it. ( hated them cancelling the original continuation of the original comic G2 and hated the way they ended the continuity yuck ). Wish they had just not done a time gap between marvel 80 and regeneration one , wish they would have just bridged the two series (g1 and G2 ) and closed out all the loose ends that way. Then we could have gotten a continuation of the g2 comic ( they way they did it , you cant continue that series any longer.) and then kept it going as long as they wanted until BEAST WARS even .
I mean if they were going to cancel an already offical, by the same company continuation of the comic ( g2 by marvel ), they should have cancelled the last issue or two as those issues were not what they intended for the story to go until Marvel told them to wrap it up
Anyways GIVE ME MORE OF TRANSFORERS 84. Id actully buy comics again on a regular basis !

Love it.
I really hope we get some more out of the TF84 concept – give me anything Furman & Guido do, I am all over it. Only readable thing I’ve seen them publish in at least 5-6 years (the terminator crossover was ok, but totally disposable)
I wouldn't line a birdcage with the reboot (I honestly can’t believe they’ve actually stuck with it this long)

Finally got this delivered to me here in Japan. Loved it. I missed this comic. Wish they would continue it with Star Saber, have it in the same universe but very little interaction with the other stuff. Give us Star saber and crew and other bots that never featured in the US comic continuing series. would love to see Sixshot interacting with Star Saber , ect ect. Bring in all the Japanese characters , Elita one, Alpha Trion ect ect

Question; Does anyone have Transformers '84 issue 0 as a print? And if so, would anyone be interested in selling the comic? Or does someone know a german resp. european comic online shop where I can buy this comic as a print? I hope somebody can help me since I would love to have this issue as a print.

Regeneration 1 continued (and concluded) the Marvel run.
Issues were 80.5 – 100 (including an issue 0).
Transformers '84 #0 was a prequel/Retcon and a one shot.
Transformers '84 "Secrets and Lies" was intended as a 4 issue mini series that picks up after '84 #0 and before TF #1.

Regeneration was a continuation of the Marvel G1 comic.
Omegax80
Only #0
Issue #1 was supposed to be in May I think

So, which physical and which digital issues of this series have already been released? I know #0 was …
Shepard Prime
That's eerie because I thought Guidi was homaging one of the covers from the original series.

Thanks. I thought it was that "G1 Marvel Comics reboot" Simon Furman wrote a while ago.

Doesn't look like it.

Wait, this is a miniseries? I thought it was an ongoing…?
