Let's see, we need a name for the new series... Something original... Something we've never used before...

Transformers: Robots in Disguise is a series published by IDW Publishing, tying into the 2015 cartoon of the same name, written by Georgia Ball^[1] with art by Priscilla Tramontano.^[2]

Following the precedent created by The Transformers: Regeneration One and Transformers vs. G.I. Joe, issue #0 (written by John Barber rather than Ball), which also included a new Transformers vs. G.I. Joe story and previews of other IDW/Hasbro issues, was given away as part of Free Comic Book Day on May 2, 2015.^[3]

Overview

The Bee Team engages in Decepticon-busting adventures set as to fit within the timeline of the parent television cartoon. The first storyline lasts four issues, a standard in children's comics, and is set within the time-frame of the first season. The second (and final) storyline runs two issues in length, and is set following the first season's finale.
