TRANSFORMERS fans, roll out! Today Skybound, in collaboration with leading games, IP and toy company Hasbro, announced a campaign for the Kickstarter-exclusive THE TRANSFORMERS Compendium Set, which will collect the complete US and UK stories from the 1980s THE TRANSFORMERS Marvel Comics run in definitive hardcover compendiums. Fans can sign up for the mailing list now to receive all campaign details and updates ahead of its launch on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at 6 a.m. PT.
You can check out the teaser trailer below:
Lovingly bound in gorgeous faux leather, each THE TRANSFORMERS compendium is between 950 and 1,200 pages. Longtime and new fans alike can expect to relive the classic stories that started it all for the Robots in Disguise in editions that will not be available anywhere else.
The TRANSFORMERS franchise rocked the comic book world with their debut that was truly …MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE, and now fans can experience every issue from the original run. Discover the heroic Autobots, evil Decepticons, and their galaxy-spanning war that will leave you breathless.
Fans can enjoy eight total books, including the two U.S. and two U.K. compendium sets, and exclusive THE TRANSFORMERS: Til All Are One Definitive Edition Box Set, which intercuts the U.S. and U.K. runs into the most seamless and comprehensive reading experience yet. This edition houses the complete run of hardcovers in a deluxe collector’s box with new art from current TRANSFORMERS series cover artist and comics megastar Daniel Warren Johnson.
Choose your side! Backers who pledge THE TRANSFORMERS: Til All Are One Definitive Edition Box Set will choose between Autobot or Decepticon editions—or both!
The campaign will also include pledge levels for signed editions by Simon Furman, the most prolific TRANSFORMERS comic book writer of all time and a major force in these stories.
Campaign rewards will include 1980s-style tech spec cards, a challenge coin featuring Autobot and Decepticon shields, patches, exclusive comics, and additional stretch goals to unlock as the campaign progresses.
Previous Skybound campaign backers and early mailing list members will receive a free Jetfire tech spec card when they back the campaign.
“We wanted to make sure that Skybound’s follow-up to the record-breaking G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero Compendium campaign gave TRANSFORMERS fans the jaw-dropping experience they deserve,” said Sean Mackiewicz, SVP, Publisher, Skybound. “The ‘Til All Are One Compendium Box Set is the most epic comic book collection we’ve ever produced. So, whether you’re looking to read the entire Cybertronian saga like never before or dive into stunning hardcover collections of the US and UK comics, this campaign has something for every longtime and new TRANSFORMERS reader.”
Skybound continues to uphold its reputation as the biggest name in comic book publisher crowdfunding, setting records with the most funded comics campaign on Kickstarter with G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero, and the most funded webcomic, Ava’s Demon Book Two: Aftermath. Skybound’s record-breaking slate of graphic novel campaigns that have elevated a diverse group of voices also includes Extremity: Signature Edition, Ava’s Demon Book One: Reborn, Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Failure, Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Feelings, Excellence, The King-Killing Queen, The Extra Fabulous Experience, and The Book of Shame: An Extra Fabulous Experience.
Skybound’s compendium releases are an integral component of its overall comics partnership with Hasbo. While the Energon Universe has delivered a fresh new start for the TRANSFORMERS and G.I. JOE franchises in Void Rivals by writer Robert Kirkman (Invincible, The Walking Dead) and artist Lorenzo De Felici (Oblivion Song), TRANSFORMERS by writer Daniel Warren Johnson (Extremity, Do a Powerbomb) and artist Jorge Corona (Middlewest), and G.I. JOE by writer Joshua Williamson (DC’s Superman, Dark Ride) and artist Tom Reilly (The Thing), these compendiums celebrate the rich history of TRANSFORMERS in comic book form.
The TRANSFORMERS Compendium Set campaign will be live on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at 6am PT, with stretch goals and campaign-exclusive products to be announced through the close of the campaign on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at 12 p.m. PT.
