FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
IDW RELEASES THE TRANSFORMERS:
MAXIMUM DINOBOTS #1 - SPOTLIGHT
(San Diego, December 8, 2008) Transformers fans have been waiting for the
Dinobots to get a series of their very own for a long time. At last, IDW
releases the long-awaited, full-fledged modern day debut of the Dinobot team
in The Transformers: Maximum Dinobots. The book will be in stores December
10.
Bringing some of the most popular characters from the original cartoon back
to life with a fresh take are Transformers uber-scribe Simon Furman, artist
Nick Roche, and colorist Josh Burcham, with cover art by Marcelo Matere and
Roche.
The Transformers: Maximum Dinobots brings together the team for the first
time in thousands of years, but it's far from a happy reunion. And out to
spoil the party further is Scorponok and his Machination/Headmaster army.
But he has two Autobots hot on his trail in Sunstreaker and Hot Rod.
And when all parties collide, expect mayhem, machinations, melee, and, of
course, Maximum Dinobots!
The story enhances the rich tapestry of Transformers lore for long-time
readers, but also is friendly for new readers - anyone can start at Page 1
and not miss a beat. And the first issue arrives just before Christmas on
December 10th!
It's an adventure not to be missed!
