The Transformers franchise began in 1984 with three initial iterations of the brand. Beyond the toys from Hasbro and Takara, there were also The Transformers animated series and the Marvel comic book series. The latter was in its own continuity, allowing it to introduce vastly different takes on the robots in disguise.Many mainstay elements of Transformers lore debuted in the Marvel comic books, namely the very creator of the Cybertronian species. Some of these ideas have been used more than others, but they also represent how big of an impact the comics made on the property as a whole. Now, with Skybound Entertainment’s Kickstarter campaign for the comic books’ collection already being a massive success, fans will be looking back to the Marvel years of Transformers more than ever.The Generation 2 comic book didn’t last long, with Jhiaxus’ name actually referencing its long-foreseen fate (gee, axe us). Nevertheless, he’s continued to be a fan-favorite, and a toy based on his classic G2 comic book design was finally released in 2024. Likewise, the second Skybound compendium of the Marvel Transformers comic books will also collect Generation 2, which hasn’t received this treatment in years.
