by Olly MacNamee
Skybound and Hasbro have announced a Kickstarter campaign for the definitive Transformers collection: The Transformers Compendium Set collects the complete US and UK stories from the 1980s Marvel Comics in faux leather hardcover compendiums. It is set to launch on Tuesday, April 8th, at 6am PT. Each compendium is between 900 and 1200 pages in length with backers able to choose between Autobot or Decepticon editions … or both.
Totalling eight books, including The Transformers: Til All Are One Definitive Edition Box Set, and featuring a deluxe collector’s box with art from Daniel Warren Johnson, 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
- additional stretch goals to unlock as the campaign progresses.
Sean Mackiewicz, SVP, Publisher, Skybound said of this new campaign:
“We wanted to make sure that Skybound’s follow-up to the record-breaking G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero Compendium campaign gave Transformers fans the jaw-dropping experience they deserve. The ‘Til All Are One Compendium Box Set is the most epic comic book collection we’ve ever produced. So, whether you’re looking to read the entire Cybertronian saga like never before or dive into stunning hardcover collections of the US and UK comics, this campaign has something for every longtime and new Transformers reader.”
The Transformers Compendium Set campaign will be live on April 8th with stretch goals and campaign-exclusive products to be announced through the close of the campaign on Wednesday, May 7th at 12pm PT.
