Thanks to a petition supported by fans all around the world, IDW gave Simon Furman a chance to continue his original G1 Marvel saga: in 2012, issue #81 will be the beginning of a 20-issues maxiseries.
In the meantime, a huge cadre of talented fans joined to keep the flame alive. The result is Issue 78.5: a special story that expands the original saga, introducing two Action Masters as they embark in a fateful quest... for the Last Autobot.
