This volume is the 24th installment of the Chinese edition of the original Marvel Transformers comics (the G1 classic series), collecting the story from issue 24 of the U.S. Transformers series, "Afterdeath." Written by Ralph Macchio with pencils by Frank Springer, this issue is a key chapter in the Marvel G1 timeline as the conflict between Optimus Prime and Megatron draws toward its conclusion. The story centers on a dispute over an advanced computer and a virtual world: the Autobots and Decepticons once again face off in a contest over technological achievement, but this epochal conflict takes an unexpected turn into a video-game-like virtual battlefield, where both sides fight under "fair" game rules—and beyond victory and defeat, the contest becomes a test of integrity versus cunning. As one volume in the 80-issue original comics, this book continues the Cybertronian civil war storyline built jointly by Hasbro and Marvel—the Autobots and Decepticons carry their war from their home planet to Earth and on to Nebulos, constantly introducing new concepts such as Combiners, Headmasters, and Powermasters. This volume is suited to readers who have already reached the middle of the series and wish to fill in the full 80-issue narrative for continuous reading; for a complete understanding of how a toy advertising concept grew into a collective memory for a generation, it is best read alongside the other volumes in the series.Editor's review
2017 年，新星出版社联合红花文化推出漫威《变形金刚》元祖漫画中文版，完整收录 1984 年 9 月至 1991 年 7 月美国版全部 80 集故事，经电脑重新制版与重新着色，以 16 开本呈现，是中文世界少见的系统性 G1 漫画整理。这套书的可贵之处在于“全”与“序”：短短 80 集里塞进了 300 余个独立变形金刚角色，以及数十个人类与星云星人物；从初登场的 18 名汽车人、10 名霸天虎，到贯穿全局的擎天柱、威震天，三变金刚、合体金刚、头领战士、能量战士等设定几乎都可在此找到源头。本册作为第 24 册，正处在系列中段，故事与人物关系已高度交织，单独读来也能感受到原作特有的“人类视角 + 机器人战争”叙事趣味。对老观众，它是童年记忆的实物凭据；对新读者，它是一份理解变形金刚世界观如何被写出来的原始档案。需提醒的是，该书为限量发行，市面多为绝版二手，购买时留意版本与品相。Who it's for
