Transformers/Back to the Future is a four-issue crossover comic miniseries from IDW Publishing set to debut in October 2020. The series is a crossover event to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Transformers franchise by Hasbro and the Back to the Future films by Universal Pictures.[1]

Premise

Following the event of the first film, Marty McFly finally returns home to Hill Valley in 1985, content that all seems well at last. Unfortunately, a mistake on his part causes the Decepticons to become aware of the time machine created by his friend Doc Brown, and they plot to use it to conquer past, present, and future. Thus, it falls to Marty to travel through time and stop them, aided by the time-travelling Autobot Gigawatt.[2]
