Transformers news and info for Marvel Transformers Crossovers and Star Wars Transformers Crossovers.
Transformers #30 and Transformers Beast Wars #3 join the April 2021 solicitations list, following our earlier reveals of My Little Pony / Transformers II #1 and Transformers Escape #5.
Join in the discussion about the artwork, creator credits and synopsis details for these publications on the 2005 boards!
Key players from the My Little Pony / Transformers creative team are reassembling for part II, with TFW2005 members Darth Gonzo and Issy543 reporting this news via io9.
From authors James Asmus and Sam Maggs:
“The first crossover was about as much fun as I’ve had in my writing career,” Asmus said. “I am hugely delighted that we’re not only doing a follow-up, but getting to flip the script. In the first series, we got to tell really charming and fun stories by tossing the Autobots and Decepticons into the colorful, magical world of Equestria. But now, dragging dark magic and friendly ponies into the sci-fi world of Cybertron lets us play with brand new tones, toys, and team-ups!”
“I can’t wait to jump back into this world of magical friendships that really is More than Meets the Eye,” Maggs added. “It’s such a blast coming up with the most fun (and downright weird) pairings of ponies and ‘bots, and I think fans of both series are going to be surprised at what’s we’ve got for them this second time around!”

Happy hunting one and all!
Thanks to our very own 2005 Board member DavidT for sharing in our boards our first in-hand images of the Walmart Exclusive Transformers x Back To The Future Gigawatt.
This was a special and limited Gigawatt edition which came numbered with sequences of “0001 of 1985”. Pre-orders for this figure sold out in a very brief period of time last year. While there was a regular retail Gigawatt version available later, this limited was version finally delivered to the lucky fans who were able to pre-order it. DavidT shared several comparison shots of the box next to the retail version which let us see the differences between these releases, more noticeable a small licensed plate sticker. The one in the pictures is 0882 of 1985.
