One word: intense

Easily the most dark, epic story produced by the Transformers franchise. The stakes are higher, the twists and turns of the story are more surprising and intense and the end is more powerful. This story temporarily revived my long dead interest in transformers. Just wish I'd seen something since that matched it.

Arguably the Best Transformers Story Ever Written.

After defeating Optimus Prime, stealing from him the matrix, and giving life to a new army of Decepticons. Megatron is on a galactic rampage. He now commands a moon sized ship of Great destructive potential. Next he has set his sights on acquiring a chemical compound that will render all metal Super dense, following that... He sets out to find the new Generation Of Decepticons that Optimus Prime Warned him about. But upon finding the army Of Generation 2 Decepticons, He finds his plans of galactic conquest being cut VERY short. Megatrons army engages in battle with the G2 Decpticons, only to be trounced by thier superior technology, power, and numbers. Megatron himself, is defeated by Jhiaxus, the leader of these killing machines. Denounced as a evolutionary throwback, and left for dead, Megatron barely survies. Realizing most of his army was lucky to escape, he seeks a alliance with Optimus Prime, and the autobots, So that they may have a chance at survival against this new menace.But something more is out there. A lifeform called the swarm, a mass of psychic energy that is the byproduct of the unfortunate and mystical evolution of the transformer race. more then that, like the Generation 2 Transformers that were spawned by that evolution, it to lacks any moral sense of right and wrong. It is a life force that was never given purpose or vision, It is the essance of the brutal killing efficincy that is the G2 Transformers, and is powerful beyond measure. Capable of consuming any mass, and assimilating any and all knowledge from life forms and mechanical and biological data banks, It is now coming to Earth, looking for the race that spawned it into darkness and emptiness, so it can have its revenge.As The alliance between the Autobots and Decepticons is tested by betrayal, old Quarrels, and suspicion, Jhiaxus rallys his Forces for a final brutal assault on earth, to eradicate his ancestors, and the planet that harbors them. And even if the Autobots And Deceptcons survive that, how will they deal with an enemy that is literally the very sins of thier entire race given psychic form, and capable of eradicating entire planets in mere moments?This Is the Second part Of Simon Furmans Generation 2 Comic series. Collecting issues 7-12, This series was meant to start a new ongoing series of Transformers. One that was unencumbered by limitations that come by being controlled by a toy company. Thus the story is Far more epic, Earth Shattering, and Death filled then nearly any other Story in Transformers history. It is filled with Bold acts of herroisim and A birth of frienships where there was once hatred. It is a tale of Death and Rebirth that is more mystic Fantasy Featuring the Transformers, then The Sci-Fi mayham of recent series. It also has an ending that is truly touching and thought provoking. One has to wonder with an ending so dramatic, How would the series have gone from there... hopefully someday, Simon Furman Will Continue
