10 Best Transformers Comics Every Fan Must Read

10. Transformers Robots In Disguise #22

Despite being a franchise filled with explosive action and jaw-dropping battles, this first entry is more about the psychological aspect of being a giant mechanical warrior. What makes this even more intriguing, though, is the fact that it is told from the perspective of a Decepticon.

A master spy with telepathic abilities, Shockwave’s character arcs are some of the most emotionally captivating aspects of the franchise. This entire show is built around a retrograde narrative, as the story unwinds from present to past, unravelling Shockwave’s origins.

In the present, the master spy is growing suspicious of fellow Decepticon and former Cybertron senator Shockwave. Even alien robots know that politicians aren’t to be trusted it seems, as Soundwave is not convinced of Shockwave’s loyalty. His suspicions are elevated by the fact that he can sense no emotion or thought from his supposed comrade.

Despite having decided long ago he needed to kill Shockwave, Soundwave ends up getting saved by the bot he had suspected of betrayal for so long, as it gets revealed that the two aren’t all that different from one another, when it comes to their roots.
