The hit animated TV shows Beast Wars and Beast Machines introduced a whole new generation to the Transformers - a race of robots able to shift form and become vehicles, weaponry and hardware. Now, at last, the original stories of those 'robots in disguise' can be seen again in their world-shaking glory.

The death of a hero... the return of an old foe... and the awakening of the gods! When Ratchet, Autobot chief medic, is kidnapped, a desolate Optimus Prime must find it within himself to continue the eternal battle against the Decepticons. And unbeknownst to all of them, their battles have woken Primus - creator of the Transformers. Unfortunately, Primus' scream upon waking has awoken an enemy from before time - an enemy who will not rest until all are dead - Unicron!
