Transformers: Last Bot Standing will be a four-part miniseries from the acclaimed writer Nick Roche and fan-favorite artist E.J. Su, set for release this coming May.

The blockbuster miniseries TMNT: The Last Ronin is written by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird along with Tom Waltz, with art by Eastman, Esau Escorza, Isaac Escorza, Ben Bishop, Samuel Plata, Luis Antonio Delgado, and Shawn Lee.

Following the success of that miniseries, IDW is giving Transformers a similar treatment with Last Bot Standing.
