When the ''Transformers Ongoing'' portion of ''[[The Transformers IDW]]'' reached its peak in "Chaos", fans were... [[Broken Base|divided]]. So another reboot was launched, the third so far (the other two being ''[[Transformers: All Hail Megatron]]'' and the Ongoing itself), fourth if one counts the original "Infiltration" series. This reboot had two stories of the Transformers going in different directions. One was ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (comics)|Transformers Robots in Disguise]]'', and after the success of ''[[Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers]]'', James Roberts was brought on to write the other, this series (with the other LSOTW fellow Nick Roche helping with the first issue and the series' prequel). Artist Alex Milne draws the series.
 
After the Matrix was depowered, it revealed itself to be a star map which would lead the Transformers to their ancestors. Rodimus thus decides to lead a bunch of Autobots and a few others on a quest on the ''[[Meaningful Name|Lost Light]]'' to find those ancestors, the Knights of Cybertron. Along the way, the bots encounter mysteries, horrors, and strange occurrences.
 
{{tropelist}}
 
* [[Adorkable]]:
** Rung, a naive, somewhat straitlaced dork with [[Opaque Nerd Glasses]] and gangly limbs. He spends his time doing things like geekily building model spaceships, trying to tiptoe around interacting with a ship full of loons, and needing to be rescued.
Line 42 ⟶ 41:
** Also played straight in the form of the name of the Autobots' ship, the ''Lost Light'', which does indeed become lost after an accident causes an explosion in their navigational drive.
* [[The Medic]]: Ratchet, First-Aid, Ambulon, and Pharma {{spoiler|before he went evil}}.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: The series is full of witty dialogue, slapstick, snark, and humorous character interactions and situations... but it's ''also'' full of creepy horror, [[Squick]], shady characters, betrayals, and Ominous Foreshadowing. Sometimes all in the same scene.
* [[Motor Mouth]]: Swerve ''loves'' to chatter whenever possible, to the point of annoying the bejeezus out of everyone else. He claims his nickname at the Academy was "Shut the Hell Up".
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]: Swerve, definitely. Rung, Rewind, and Tailgate are also played as this at times.
