\u201cConstructicons Rising\u201d Storyline Unearths the Bots that
\nBuilt Cybertron\u2026 and Threaten to Tear It All Down!<\/p>\n

\u00a0Beginning in September,\u00a0IDW Publishing<\/strong>\u00a0proudly builds upon the success of 2019\u2019s bold new era of\u00a0Transformers<\/em>\u00a0comic books with its first spin-off series:\u00a0Transformers: Galaxies<\/em><\/strong>! Featuring story arcs that delve deeper into the origins, motivations, and world-shattering machinations of the extended Transformers\u00a0<\/em>cast,\u00a0Galaxies<\/em>\u00a0launches with a story arc dedicated to the fan-favorite crew, the Constructicons!<\/p>\n

Written by Vox Media co-founder and lifelong Transformers<\/em>\u00a0devotee\u00a0Tyler Bleszinski<\/strong>, with luscious artwork by longtime\u00a0Transformers<\/em>\u00a0artist,\u00a0Livio Ramondelli<\/strong>,\u00a0Transformers:<\/em>\u00a0Galaxies<\/em>\u00a0#1 uncovers the hidden secrets of Cybertron\u2019s vast beauty and extraordinary cityscapes. Long ago, after the War Against the Threefold Spark ended, the Constructicons emerged to help rebuild the decimated planet in grand fashion. But what happened to them in the years since? Why had they been erased from Cybertron\u2019s history\u2026 and what have they been planning for their devastating return?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve dreamed of the day that I could somehow be involved in the\u00a0Transformers<\/em>\u00a0universe,\u201d says Bleszinski. \u201cHumanizing the Constructicons in a refreshed origin story with Livio Ramondelli \u2013 one of the most talented\u00a0Transformers<\/em>\u00a0artists ever \u2013 will be one of the highlights of my life and will give me the opportunity to share my passion for these incredible creations with my kids’ generation. This is truly a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTransformers: Galaxies<\/em>\u00a0delves into what’s happening away from Cybertron,” says editor\u00a0David Mariotte<\/strong>. “Tyler and Livio are working on a story about broken promises and lost futures \u2014 about those who fall by the wayside to maintain a utopia.”<\/p>\n

To commemorate the debut of\u00a0Transformers: Galaxies<\/em>, IDW will offer multiple variant covers, including Cover A by Livio Ramondelli, Cover B by\u00a0Nick Roche<\/strong>, and two Retailer Incentive covers by\u00a0George Caltsoudas<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Casey W. Coller<\/strong>, respectively.<\/p>\n
