Skybound, in association with Hasbro, have announced details of The Transformers Compendium Set, a Kickstarter-exclusive collection which will collect the complete US and UK stories from the 1980s Transformers Marvel Comics run in definitive hardcover compendiums.

Here’s the official blurb:

Lovingly bound in gorgeous faux leather, each THE TRANSFORMERS compendium is between 950 and 1,200 pages. Longtime and new fans alike can expect to relive the classic stories that started it all for the Robots in Disguise in editions that will not be available anywhere else.

The TRANSFORMERS franchise rocked the comic book world with their debut that was truly …MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE, and now fans can experience every issue from the original run. Discover the heroic Autobots, evil Decepticons, and their galaxy-spanning war that will leave you breathless.

Fans can enjoy eight total books, including the two U.S. and two U.K. compendium sets, and exclusive THE TRANSFORMERS: Til All Are One Definitive Edition Box Set, which intercuts the U.S. and U.K. runs into the most seamless and comprehensive reading experience yet. This edition houses the complete run of hardcovers in a deluxe collector’s box with new art from current TRANSFORMERS series cover artist and comics megastar Daniel Warren Johnson.

Choose your side! Backers who pledge THE TRANSFORMERS: Til All Are One Definitive Edition Box Set will choose between Autobot or Decepticon editions—or both!

The campaign will also include pledge levels for signed editions by Simon Furman, the most prolific TRANSFORMERS comic book writer of all time and a major force in these stories.

Campaign rewards will include 1980s-style tech spec cards, a challenge coin featuring Autobot and Decepticon shields, patches, exclusive comics, and additional stretch goals to unlock as the campaign progresses.

The TRANSFORMERS Compendium Set Kickstarter campaign will be live on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at 6am PT, with stretch goals and campaign-exclusive products to be announced through the close of the campaign on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at 12 p.m. PT.
