IDW Publishing Unleashes the DECEPTICONS on Earth!
Maxi-Series ALL HAIL MEGATRON Depicts a World Without AUTOBOTS
San Diego, CA (March 19, 2008) - It's often said that the true measure of a hero is based on the quality of the villain-and TRANSFORMERS has some of the greatest villains in pop culture. But the heroic AUTOBOTS have kept the evil DECEPTICONS in check-until now.
Starting in July, IDW Publishing will unveil a turning point in the TRANSFORMERS saga. TRANSFORMERS: ALL HAIL MEGATRON, under license from HPG, the licensing division of Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS). Set one year after the events of TRANSFORMERS: Devastation, TRANSFORMERS: ALL HAIL MEGATRON launches a new storyline that shows what happens when great heroes aren't around to defend against their powerful villains. The DECEPTICONS, led by the ruthless MEGATRON, have somehow succeeded in dispatching the AUTOBOTS and their leader, OPTIMUS PRIME, leaving Earth ripe for the plucking.
"This thing is going to knock the fans' socks off," McCarthy says. "This is exactly the kind of story I've always wanted to see done, and I think the fans will be right there with me."
IDW's Publisher/Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall added, "ALL HAIL MEGATRON is what the AUTOBOTS fought so hard to prevent, the ultimate culmination of MEGATRON's plans. It's destruction on a grand scale; it's a story of sacrifice, lost heroism, betrayal, and hopefully at the end, renewal.
"But this series, more than any other we've done, shows that hopes don't amount to much in the face of unrelenting evil. Shane's story hearkens back to the greatest stories in TRANSFORMERS history, while still feeling vibrant and excitingly new. And the best part is the accessibility of the tale makes this a perfect jumping-on spot for new fans of good comics, along with long-time followers of TRANSFORMERS."
TRANSFORMERS: ALL HAIL MEGATRON #1 is being solicited for July '08 release. It will feature a victorious MEGATRON cover by Klaus Scherwinski, as well as a distinctive variant cover by Trevor Hutchison.
