Motto: "I ain't got time to bleed!"
Weapon: Gattling Gun
Saturday is Free Comic Book Day, and IDW Publishing will be offering fans Transformers: Regeneration One 80.5. The creative team of Simon Furman and Andrew Wildman reunite to tie up the loose ends that were left dangling when the original Marvel run came to end in 1991. This issue serves as a primer for IDW's upcoming ongoing series Transformers: Regeneration One 81, and features 16 pages of new content. Don't forget to swing by your local comic book retailer this Saturday, May 5th to pick up your free copy! Transformers: Regeneration One 81 is scheduled to launch in July.


(W) Simon Furman
(A/CA) Andrew Wildman
The wait is over - after a 20-year hiatus, IDW proudly returns to the original Transformers comic book universe, picking up right where 1991's Transformers #80 left off! Optimus Prime, Grimlock, Kup, Hot Rod and all your favorite Generation One Transformers characters charge into the future as fan-favorite writer Simon Furman and legendary Transformers artist Andrew Wildman present Transformers #80.5! Reflecting back on the dizzying highs and the terrifying lows of the original run of Transformers comics, Optimus Prime watches over a Cybertron that hasn't faced Megatron for decades. But that peace shudders to an end, as we dive headlong into July's Transformers #81!

Because the Fans demanded it! Thousand of Transformers fans signed petitions urging us to make this book - and IDW listened!

Created by the same writer, penciler, and inker of Transformer #80 in 1991!

Bonus features make clear IDW's current Transformers line of comics, as well as our extensive reprint program!

Does anyone know if this will be available, for free or pay, on the Transformers app I have on my iPod? My nearest comic book store which has English books is at least a thousand miles away. It's a long way to go to get a free comic book.

It was great to see the crew and pick up 80.5. Good to see Simon was as nice as ever even though he is now a bona-fide Hall of Famer! I was pretty shocked when I read the last page of the comic though, it sets the continuation up nicely.

On a related note, can anyone recommend me a UK online retailer which will be offering a subscription service for Regeneration One?

I thought this issue was pretty cool!

It's been awhile since I've read Furman's Marvel run. I loved that Andrew Wildman returned to the Transformers after announcing that his ongoing variants from a few years ago would be his "last Transformers work."

In fact, I just just love looking at Wildman's artwork. It's quite a shock looking at this comic and comparing it to his War Within work, which had to be redrawn to the house Dreamwave/Pat Lee style. Oy.

It was announced that this would ignore Generation 2 yet it has Jhiaxus... I wonder if that was a mistake or perhaps including certain aspect of G2.

Who's this guy? I don't recognize him at all.
