Story is about the arrival (or maybe better said come back) of mysterious artifact to Cybertrone. After suffering injuries in battle against unknown aliens Megatron gets himself under effect of the mysterious artifact. Soon, schism is created between Megatron and his followers [new group called Decepticons] and Optimus Prime [and remaining Autobots] who is bewildered by the very change in Megatrons behavior.[return][return]Art and story are just great one word of warning though, all Transformer s are based on their movie counterparts, not the cartoons.[return][return]This one is a prequel to the new film, and if you wish to get some additional background information it is a recommended read :)

I would have enjoyed this more if I hadn't just finished Transformers: Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron, which is also about the beginning of the Autobot/Decepticon war and is completely and absolutely different from this. I could have seperated the two, but I got the distinct impression that Exodus is also set in the movie universe (Bumblebee loses his voice and the Allspark is launched into space). For a quick read, this is entertaintaining enough. But I enjoyed the novel so much more. I had problems getting into this.
