Transformers Prequel Comic Preview

Newsarama has posted up a 6 page preview of the Transformers move Prequel #1 comics that shows the events that lead to the Transformers arriving on Earth.

The solicitation for the issue:

Simon Furman & Chris Ryall (w), Don Figueroa (a & c); Josh Burcham (colors)

Before the live-action Transformers movie spectacularly explodes onto theater screens next summer, read the official beginning of the story right here! In this four-part prequel to the film, “Prime Directive” written by Ryall and Furman and featuring artist Don Figeruoa’s take on the movie characters, travel from CYBERTRON to Earth as we see what momentous events led to the Transformers bringing their war to our world. In issue one, BUMBLEBEE and a cadre of AUTOBOTS experience the lethal battle of Tyger Pax!

The story is written in part by Simon Furman who wrote many of the Transformers titles in the last 20 years for both US and UK markets. Artist Don Figueroa has been doing the artwork for Transformers since the Dreamwave days and has been an influence on some of the toys released especially the Titanium line. To my knowledge, the comic is mostly set on Cybertron and would show the cybertron modes of probably multiple Transformers in the style of the movie which probably means lots of bug faces and sharp parts. The first issue will be in stores February 21st.
