After Marvel's Generation 1... Comes Generation 2, a radically and explosively different Transformers saga, revealing hitherto unimagined aspects of the age-old war between the Autobots and Decepticons. As Jhiaxus and his New Cybertronians enact their universal program of conquest and colonization, a grievously injured Optimus Prime faces the growing threat of the ravaging mass known as The Swarm. To save them all from total annihilation, old enemies must come together against common threats, but is it already too late? To save them all... Optimus Prime must die! Featuring background material created especially for The Definitive G1 Collection including the second half of G2-UK and a new contextual introduction by series editorial consultant Simon Furman.
