Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye was a comic book series published by IDW Publishing from 2012 to 2016. It was a reboot of the classic Transformers franchise, and it quickly gained a reputation for its complex storytelling, character development, and stunning artwork.

The series was written by James Roberts and drawn by Alex Milne. Roberts had previously written for Transformers: Prime, and Milne had worked on Transformers: War Within. The two of them brought their combined talents to More Than Meets the Eye, and they created a truly unique and memorable series.

The Story

More Than Meets the Eye follows the adventures of the Lost Light, a Cybertronian starship that is home to a diverse crew of Transformers.

The crew includes Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots; Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons; Starscream, Megatron's second-in-command; and Bumblebee, a young Autobot who is eager to prove himself.

The Lost Light is on a mission to find the Knights of Cybertron, a group of ancient Transformers who are said to hold the key to defeating Unicron, a powerful and evil god.

Along the way, the crew of the Lost Light encounters a variety of challenges, including space pirates, bounty hunters, and even their own internal conflicts.

The Characters

One of the things that makes More Than Meets the Eye so special is its characters.

Roberts and Milne have created a cast of characters that are complex, relatable, and utterly compelling.

Megatron is a ruthless and ambitious leader, but he is also capable of great kindness and compassion.

Starscream is a scheming and treacherous Decepticon, but he is also fiercely loyal to his crewmates.

These are just a few of the many memorable characters that appear in More Than Meets the Eye.

The artwork in More Than Meets the Eye is simply stunning.

Milne has a unique and expressive style that brings the Transformers to life on the page.

His action sequences are thrilling, and his character designs are iconic.
