We’re excited to have Mr. Khanna back to create this month’s cover for us. He has been such a pleasure to work with and his excitement to be part of Transformers: REANIMATED comes right through his hands and onto your screens.

This month’s Transformers: REANIMATED cover was inspired by Dan Jurgens cover of Superman 58, released in August of 1991.

Greig and I want to take a moment to acknowledge the passing of Morgan Lofting, the talented voice actor who brought life to Autobots Moonracer and Firestar in the original Transformers series.

I was lucky enough to meet Lofting at TFCon Burbank in March of 2019. In the short time we spoke to each other, I thanked her for her work on Transformers and let her know how much of a positive impact that old cartoon had on me.

Written by Greig Tansley from the Unfunny Nerd Tangent podcast and Youseph (Yoshi) Tanha from the YoshiCast, this G1 adventure follows in the Transformers: ReAnimated tradition of bridging the gap between the cartoon’s second season and the 1986 Movie that defined the childhood of millions.

So, if you *did* like issue 65: Charlatan, Deceiver… Pretender, Part 1, then please consider contacting SKYBOUND Entertainment (Via E-mail or Twitter) and let them know you would have liked to see Transformers: REANIMATED as an ongoing comic book series written by Yoshi and Greig.
