IDW Publishing and Dark Horse Comics have announced that they are partnering up for the brand new crossover miniseries Transformers vs. The Terminator, which pits the Robots in Disguise against Skynet’s deadly cyborg killing machines.
Transformers vs. The Terminator sees longtime Transformers contributors writers David Mariotte and John Barber and artist Alex Milne with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles writer Tom Waltz, and promises to deliver “an epic crossover that revisits the concepts of alien invasion and time-traveling resistance fighters… but twists them in unexpected ways!”
“I still remember the visceral thrill and terror of my first viewing of The Terminator, and while I’ve seen it a hundred times since then, it still gets my pulse running,” says John Barber, co-writer and IDW Editor-in-Chief. “I’ve worked on Transformers a lot over the years, and the opportunity to combine these two mechanistic universes together to see who comes out on top (while working alongside Tom, David, and my old collaborator Alex, no less) —well, it’s way too exciting a chance to pass up.”
“Transformers was a large part of my childhood; I was captivated, wanting to see how Optimus Prime would foil the plans of Megatron,” says artist Alex Milne. “Later, I came across The Terminator and was amazed by the idea of a robot pretending to be a human, sent back in time to hunt down a specific target. Now, as an adult, I’m very pleased to lend my talents to a project which sees these sci-fi icons brought together!”
Transformers vs. The Terminator will launch in March 2020.
