Transformers Vol. 7

This volume is the seventh in the six-volume Chinese edition of the original Transformers comics (New Star Press, 2017; some channels sell it by individual volume and label it as volume 7 of 8), collecting subsequent installments of the Marvel US Transformers comic originally published from 1984 to 1991, part of the main G1 original comic continuity. The series adapts the first-generation Transformers setting jointly launched by Hasbro and Marvel, with the story centering on the long war between the Autobots and the Decepticons across Cybertron and Earth: Optimus Prime leads the Autobots in protecting Earth and their human allies, while Megatron, Soundwave, and other Decepticons constantly seize energy and plot schemes. The Chinese edition uses computer re-mastering and recoloring to restore the art style and narrative rhythm of 1980s American comics, and gradually introduces within its limited pages such far-reaching concepts as Triple Changers, Combiners, Headmasters, and Powermasters. This volume follows the plot developments of the first six volumes and belongs to the middle-to-later part of the series. For readers collecting the complete original comic series, it is the volume that pairs with the others to complete the main continuity; for the specific issues and story titles included, please refer to the table of contents in the copy you receive.
