My IDW Transformers comics retrospective continues with Transformers: Escalation! This six-part series began releasing monthly in November of 2006 as a direct follow-up to Transformers: Infiltration, bringing writer Simon Furman and artist E.J. Su together again to tell the next big story in IDW's 2005 continuity. Megatron has taken control of Starscream's command post on Earth, initiating a clandestine operation to instigate geopolitical crisis and outright war, but Optimus Prime has arrived to contain and repel the threat. However, the Decepticons have an edge: the mysterious Ore-13, seeded on Earth long ago by Shockwave. As if that wasn't enough, the Autobots also have to contend with the rising threat of the Machination and their devastating attack on Sunstreaker and Hunter O'Nion. In this video, I break down where Escalation fits into the Transformers universe Furman was building in the early IDW years and why it's one of the greats.
