reamwave Productions has announced a January launch for Transformers: Beast Wars, a a six-part series based on the toy line by Hasbro and successful television series by Mainframe Entertainment.
The series, which takes place years after the original Generation One series, follows the adventures of Optimus Primal and his Maximals (descendants of the Autobots) versus Megatron and his Predacons (descendants of the Decepticons).
James McDonough and Adam Patyk will write, with Don Figueroa providing pencils.
"In the late nineties, when I first heard about this new show that was claiming to be Transformers, I said, What is this new show?' They change forms, the leaders had very familiar names and looked similar but I was so surprised to see animals as their alternate modes, not vehicles," Figueroa said. "But from the first episode I was hooked. This series was groundbreaking and it is amazing that we get to bring it to comic-book form."
Said Dreamwave president Pat Lee: "For me, Beast Wars really represents the coming-of-age for the Transformers franchise. It is a series that acted as a go-between for Transformers fans, both old and new, and brought in some really cool ideas for the world of Transformers."
