Untold Marvels - "The Middle Years"

The Untold Marvels series presents the twin project that will turn the G1 Marvel Uk text story "The Middle Years" into an actual comic.

"The Middle Years"

The original text story chronicled the events happening on Cybertron after the departure of the Ark and Nemesis spacecrafts (with their relative crews), 4 million years ago, leading up to the notorious Operation Volcano in the Target: 2006 saga.

The comic features G1 warlord Trannis, whose appearence was never seen in any official comics.
In this illustrated version of the story, Trannis' model is the same that was created for Seeds Of Deception: Trannis.
