Transformers. Volume 4. Conquista e controlla
Sacrifici, verità nascoste e un leader pronto a oltrepassare il limite
Mentre sulla Terra infuria la guerra tra Autobots e Decepticons, Optimus Prime è alle prese con una crisi che non è solo fisica, ma anche spirituale: la Matrice del Comando sembra indebolirsi, e con essa vacilla il simbolo stesso della speranza. Mentre i suoi compagni combattono, nuove forze entrano in gioco, determinando alleanze inattese e ritorni che cambieranno le sorti del campo di battaglia. In parallelo, un frammento di passato riemerge sotto forma di un lungo processo alieno: una sequenza di prove e visioni ambientate su un pianeta lontano, dove potere e identità si scontrano. È un ricordo – o forse qualcosa di più – che getta nuova luce sulle origini della guerra e sulla natura del suo più feroce protagonista: Megatron. Con CONQUISTA E CONTROLLA, il pluri-premiato sceneggiatore e disegnatore Daniel Warren Johnson porta a conclusione il suo lavoro per la serie TRANSFORMERS e, con i disegni di Jorge Corona e Ludo Lullaby, guida la saga verso il suo momento più teso e drammatico. Una miscela perfetta di epica robotica, emozione e spettacolo visivo. Il cuore della guerra pulsa più forte che mai. Siete pronti per lo scontro finale tra Optimus Prime e Megatron?

EN The Energon universe, and this series in particular, represents some of the best that the American comic book industry is currently producing.
That said, I must admit that I increasingly struggle to see how this series will intersect with the others, which initially seemed to be its purpose. By the fourth volume, such crossovers have been virtually nonexistent. Considering that everything takes place within the same universe, I can’t help but wonder: where are the GI Joes when the Autobots and Decepticons are destroying half a city in their battles?
In any case, this is merely a personal curiosity and does not negatively affect the work. This series remains a delightful read, especially for those who grew up following the Transformers.

PT O universo de Energon, e esta série em particular, representa o melhor que a indústria de banda desenhada americana está a produzir actualmente.
Dito isto, confesso que cada vez menos consigo perceber como esta série se irá cruzar com as outras, o que inicialmente parecia ser o seu objectivo. Ao quarto volume, esse cruzamento revelou-se praticamente inexistente. Considerando que tudo se passa no mesmo universo, não consigo deixar de me perguntar: onde estarão os GI Joes quando os Autobots e os Decepticons destroem meia cidade a lutar entre si?
Seja como for, é apenas uma curiosidade pessoal e não afecta negativamente a obra. Esta série continua deliciosa de ler, especialmente para quem cresceu a acompanhar os Transformers.

The previous volume of Daniel Warren Johnson’s excellent Transformers run ended on quite the cliffhanger, which is the glorious return of Megatron, who is ready to take back control of his Decepticon army, smelling big trouble for both the Autobots and humanity.
However, before we get to the main course, this volume opens with a fun little starter, which is a six-page story published as part of the Energon Universe Special 2025 one-shot. Written and drawn by Johnson himself, the story explores Jazz’s love of music as he starts off as part of a band of Autobots in Cybertron, to eventually finding a musical rhythm during the present day on Earth, which just so happens to be his namesake. As well as being a nice little piece of sincere characterisation that Johnson excels at, it is also nice seeing his electrifying art which has been missed since he dropped art duties on the book after the first six issues.
Another detour that the volume takes before the main narrative is #19, a flashback issue that shows Megatron’s rise of power, as he goes through trial after trial set up by the Quintessons, battling hordes of Sharkticons. Drawn by Ludo Lullabi and coloured by Adriano Lucas, the issue gives a different visual energy than what you usually expect from the series, though it delivers on the impact of Megatron going through hell. Although Johnson doesn’t go into great depth over Megatron’s Cybertronian origins – though they could be saving that for future issues – the issue shows how Megatron perceives power differently to Optimus Prime, especially when the former receives his own Matrix.
It is clear throughout this volume that Johnson loves writing Megatron, who is presented as this tyrannical ruler with a touch of honour who somewhat respects Optimus, even if he views his enemy’s empathy towards humanity as a sign of weakness. Whilst you do get the classic dynamic of Megatron bossing Starscream around, there is also psychological abuse in how Megatron transforms into a handgun so that Starscream can wield it and force him to do horrible things. As much as some Decepticons have tried to oppose him, there is a reason why Megatron is a leader.
If there is a flaw that is carried over from the previous volume, it would be the unwieldy nature of the amount of characters displayed throughout, some of which are branched out into separate groups. Since this covers the remaining issues from Johnson’s run, not all the subplots are wrapped, though again this could be setting up future storylines in this book. However, whatever arcs are resolved, Johnson nail it with wonderful scenes of characterisation from Ultra Magnus finally getting his groove back to the father-son dynamic that has been played throughout since the very beginning.
As the main artist, Jorge Corona’s busy art may not be as polished as Johnson’s work, but he is always giving his A-game, especially when it comes to the action, which is spectacular, especially during the climax where everything is thrown in the kitchen sink, including three combiners. Considering that we had five Michael Bay-directed Transformers movies that revelled in destruction porn without any regard for human life, the creators are aware of this, and so when the destruction occurs, it matters into how the Autobots are in this constant situation of trying to stop their enemies, but worrying about harming humans in the crossfire. While there are humans that fear the presence of the Transformers in general (can’t wait for that G.I. Joe crossover), there are some who view the Autobots as heroes, including Carly and Spike who see them as family.
It may not be much of a spoiler to say that the Autobots win against the Decepticons as this is a tale as old as time when it comes to the entire franchise, but Johnson and Co present some surprises along the way, which makes me excited to see what writer Robert Kirkman and artist Dan Mora have planned during their time on Transformers. As for this initial run, Daniel Warren Johnson makes you feel vindicated about why you liked this toy-based property in the first place.

A terrific finale to Daniel Warren Johnson’s run. This volume delivers everything that made the series special: big emotional swings, powerful character moments, and the kind of bold, high-impact storytelling DWJ excels at. The ending is satisfying, dramatic, and pays off the groundwork laid from issue #1. A fantastic close to a truly standout run — I loved it.

This was a really good series! 4.4 🌟

An epic conclusion to the first major storyline. Transformers continues to be one of the best comic series available. Reimagined, yet faithful to the original cartoons and comics.

!!!!!!!This was so good!!!!! I cried so much!!!!! What the heck?!?!?!?!!!!
October 23, 2025
While not AS good as volume 1 and 2 for me, it's still goddamn epic.
Basically this has the Autobots final stand against the Decepticons. The return of a fully committed and ruthlessly focused Megatron to lead his forces raises the stakes, especially following the chilling standalone vignette that kicks off the volume. What follows is an epic, brutal, hand-to-hand combat with plenty of death to go around. The destruction is immense, featuring powerhouse clashes like the Autobots' Superion taking on the Decepticon Combiners Devastator and Bruticus, but it all funnels down to the personal, gut wrenching final duel between Optimus Prime and Megatron that redefines their rivalry. In other words, this shit is SICK.
But what worked so well are the touching moments between Prime and the ones he's lost in the Hall of Prime, a quiet, mournful reflection that honors the sacrifices, particularly the profound loss of Bumblebee from earlier in the run. I actually FELT that shit. The human characters even have some standout moments, with Spike Witwicky and Carly bravely inserting themselves into the battle to aid their mechanical friends. Epic, sad, beautifully done, this run will go down as a classic!

Megatron ha tornat i ha unificat les dos faccions decepticon que estaven enfrontades. En canvi, les tropes aurobots estan debilitades i disperses entre Cybertron i la Terra. Enfrontament final que tanca el primer arc argumental —guionitzat i dibuixat en part per Johnson— que ha ocupat quatre volums. El dibuix de Lullabi i Corona recull perfectament l'estil mecànic, brut i expressiu del de Johnson. Èpic, emotiu i entretingut.

"Small, but mighty" is the final piece dialogue of this volume, spoken by Optimus Prime, and is also the best means summarising Daniel Warren Johnson's story in the Transformers Energon Universe thus far. This volume perhaps strikes me as my favourite, and one of my most favourite graphic novels thus far, continuing the story from Megatron's return as leader of the Decepticons, and with the Autobots on the backfoot once again. Curing the infighting that plagued his faction, Megatron easily settles in again as leader of the Decepticons and waging tryannical brutality against his Cybertronian enemies, and humanity. Cities across the United States itself become battlefields as the Autobots do all they can to protect themselves, humanity, and an ailing Optimus Prime from a reinvigorated Decepticon warpath. This volume is especially interesting as we continue to see the War for Cybertron on numerous fronts, the interactions between the Autobots and the humans they meet along the way, and the most interesting feature: Optimus Prime, with his ongoing discovery of humanity, battle with loss, and his determination to protect the Earth. I cannot wait until the next volume arrives.

Daniel Warren Johnson knows what he's doing with this franchise and I love to see take form. This latest volume continues where things were left off and attempts to prepare the field for a devastating battle where sacrifices will be needed to even have a chance at surviving the impending onslaught. Despite numerous subplots and characters, DWJ juggles everything wonderfully, even making humans relevant in the grand scheme of things.

oh my GODDDDDDDD am i a massive transformers nerd- YES, BUT, this continues to be some of the best writing thats come out of transformers in such a loooong time. my only hope as the baton passes to new artists and writers is that the good beats continue and there aren't too many gaping holes in the plot.
this volume is where reading void rivals is probably going to become paramount to understanding the plot, so i guess i finally have to get off my ass and go do that

This series was filled to the brim with chaotic energy, interesting characterwork and excellent art. It catapulted me back to the late 80ies.

Con questo quarto volume di TF, per quanto mi riguarda, la serie torna al 100% alla magnificenza d'esordio. I disegni ei colori sono fantastici come sempre; le scene d'azione sono coinvolgenti; la trama ti cattura nel suo vortice di crudeltà, dolore, speranza, energon e sangue. L'Optimus Prime di Daniel Warren Jonhson si conferma una delle migliori versioni del leader degli Autobot. Apprezzo in modo particolare quando Transformers unisce il fattore Cybertroniano e quello Umano in modi creativi e intelligenti; la vicenda che gira intorno alla matrice, che unisce i personaggi di Optimus, Spike e suo padre, è per me estremamente interessante e affascinante. Insomma... Transformers Vol. 4: Conquista e Controlla mi ha veramente soddisfatto come fan e appassionato di fantascienza.

I have absolutely adored this series but I have to admit, the back half, starting from the end of the second trade onward, have been paced incredibly bizarre. Single action scenes take up entire issues with very little big story moments. This series of issues is also full of that, but swings HARD with the emotional moments, which I think have been brilliant and truly effective throughout the entire series. Interested to see where it goes from here, now that our war is wrapped up for now.
October 13, 2025
Absolutely insane. Can agree some of the pacing was off during the end and some things didn’t get the time nor coverage I would have liked, but honestly I’m just so blown away by the quality of everything else I really don’t care. Not the only thing blown away this issue. Haha. Starscream and Bumblebee parallels are actually killing me 😀

i think i was sold a little too much hype for this finale. it's still good. but the pacing goes a bit weird in this final stretch.

The triumphant return of Megatron!
Highlights:
- We start with a flashback of Megatron being tortured by the Quintessons, dying and being revived over and over, hundreds of times, until he surrenders and realizes his place in the universe. They grant him a different alt mode, that of the blaster we have all seen Starscream use over the years. It seems to have a power level similar to that of a "Dark" Matrix of Leadership
- Jazz discovers Earth Jazz music! (This was very funny, but also touching as it provides clarity to him)
- Megatron's return isn't without challenge. Astrotrain challenges him for leadership and gets whooped. Megatron then also defeats Starscream and uses his controlling abilities in the gun mode to make Starscream murder Astrotrain
- The Decepticons attack the Autobots and new Autobot combiner Superion awakens to fight Devastator and Bruticus; Thundercracker works with Skywarp (still attached into the mainframe of it) to vanish with the Ark. Not sure where they went.
- Megatron defeats Optimus and takes back his arm
- On Cybertron, Elita has the space bridge fixed but they can only send one back to Earth. She selects Cliffjumper, but he switches places with Shredhead
- Optimus is going through something internally to get rid of the corruption left by Megatron's arm. He works his way through it, but is heavily weakened.
- Ultra Magnus is freed and goes back to help the Autobots
- As Decepticons take over more and more of the country, people and the Autobots fall back to Chicago, where some humans praise Optimus for his heroism towards them.
- With new arm created, Optimus and Megatron go head to head and Optimus is defeated. Megatron wants to force Optimus to choose between saving Carly and Spike or Beachcomber. He refuses to choose and as Starscream is about to kill the humans, all are struck in awe by the arrival of Omega Supreme (which even made my jaw drop!) Omega is able to break the control Megatron has over Starscream, he says he true name, and then kills himself before Megatron can regain control over him.
- Megatron is about to kill the humans, Shredhead shows up and forces Megatron to retreat. The Decepticons take Starscream's body with them.
That ending was freaking awesome! This is really knockdown drag out fighting. Loving this title so much!
Must read! Strong recommend.

An absolutely triumphant conclusion to the first two years of DWJ’s new epic, with Jorge Corona solidifying his position as THE iconic new artist for this run (though Ludo Lullabi’s early pages are also excellent). I do feel a bit like my mom who has been shaking her head for decades wondering “why are the autobots always SO outgunned” - but the high stakes, and grim and shocking turns continue to keep this book cooking.
February 19, 2026
Great once again. And dang DWJ just drew those first 6 issues, I thought he might return to the artist chair to finish off his run but whatever I guess I’ll have to read his other illustrated work! I think Megatron has been handled well considering how much he’s been built up to this point but I also feel like I was already kind of desensitized to the violence and brutality of the series by the time he was introduced. What I mean is that the deceptions are squishing people left and right in volume 1 which sets the bar pretty high and then shockwave ups the ante in volume 2 and Megatron does not. He’s less scary than other deceptions he’s more of an ideological foil to Optimus who isn’t completely insane just very cruel.

I do really like this series it was a nice surprise how good it was. All of it was pretty much great the story, the characters, the art, the emotion, all so good. I hope much people read these books if your feeling sick of marvel or dc read this series of books. I love how it made care about characters who were nothing characters in the g1 cartoon. Before reading this series i didn’t care about beachcomber. This series really does make you care about these character and thats why i keep on coming back to these characters. Don’t get me wrong the story is so good. Now i should get to this volume. MEGATRON BABY!!! He’s here and and he’s more mencing more then ever. They also killed off starscream this book which was kinda sad because he was becoming good again when he saw omega surpreme. So please just this series a try the writting the characters the emotion all so good. 4.5/5

Megatron. Is. So. Fuckin. Badass. I. LOVE. IT.
March 7, 2026
The art and action are perfect. The only thing holding his back is that the storytelling can be a little incoherent, at least to me. Shredhead is a pretty badass new addition. Great splash pages of autobot vs decepticon and Optimus vs Megatron battles.
March 7, 2026
The story arc in this volume is pretty great, builds to a fairly satisfying conclusion, but the artwork is messy and confusing, overuse of thick black lines, characters are off-model from panel to panel, movement and action not clearly depicted…. and sometimes the lettering is indecipherable. I guess it could be seen as expressive, but I just found it visually muddy.
Time to step-back and refresh the look of this series.
3/5

Things move along pretty quickly in this volume, which is possibly even more gritty than the earlier ones. (Original character Shredhead might also be a getting a disproportionate amount of attention.) But we do learn some interesting details about Megatron's background, and the finale has some epic moments. (B+)

An incredible ending to a great comic series.
I mean, yeah, I know the series will continue with Robert Kirkman taking over as writer, but I don't like him remotely as much as I do Johnson. It won't be the same.

Man, this actually really nailed the landing. Great arc ultimately for Spike, for Carly, for Optimus, glad they brought back Megatron to do his shenanigans. I really liked the callbacks to the OG Transformers cartoon film, and that pretty much every thread was acknowledged and tied up somehow, but also the door for what’s going on with Cybertron was left plenty open. Curious if Johnson will ever come back for another run of this series — I would be back in a heartbeat. I don’t get emotionally moved by most mainline comics, but this one really hit me in the feels at the end since I think there was so much pervasive loss and trauma throughout this run for all the many characters. Also helped that the Autobots were all genuinely good, fleshed out characters. So glad I started reading this a year or so ago.
