[[caption-width-right:350: [[Music/DexysMidnightRunners Let's make this precious...]][[note]]Characters, starting left going clockwise: Cyclonus, Tailgate (blue), Swerve (red), Ratchet, Red Alert, Ultra Magnus, Rodimus, Drift, Chromedome, Skids, Brainstorm, and a Legislator[[/note]].]]

-> ''And we sail out on orders from him but we find\\
the maps he sent to us don't mention lost coastlines\\
Where nothing we've actually seen has been mapped or outlined\\
And we don't recognize the names upon these signs\\
And every night finds us rocking and rolling\\
On waves wild and wide\\
Well, we have lost our way, nobody's gonna say it outright''
-->-- '''Okkervil River''', "Lost Coastlines"

On the planet Cybertron, the four-million year civil war between the Autobots and Decepticons has just come to an end. The democracy-promoting Autobots were victorious and have set to work rebuilding the society that was lost through the war. This victory came at a cost; the Matrix, an ancient life-giving artifact, was depowered in the final battle, rendered an empty shell. However inspection of the shell revealed that the Matrix contained a mysterious star map. Enter Rodimus, a young upstart Autobot commander who, in defiance of High Command, decides to leave Cybertron on a quest. Rodimus and his second-in-command Drift believe the Matrix Map will lead to the Knights of Cybertron, an ancient order of warriors that legend claims gave civilization to the galaxy.

For this quest Rodimus seeks a mighty band of soldiers, philosophers, scientists, and heroes. Instead a ragtag collection of no-hopers join out of desperation, by complete accident, for the sheer fun of it, or in the hope of actually doing something meaningful with their lives. They leave on the starship [[MeaningfulName Lost Light]] to follow the map and bring a new golden age to the galaxy. Along the way, they encounter numerous mysteries, horrors, and strange occurrences, all the while unaware that they may be heading towards horrible forces from before recorded history...

An ongoing comic series set in IDW's ''{{Franchise/Transformers}}'' Universe that began in 2012. The comic is a sequel to [[Comicbook/TheTransformersIDW a previous ongoing]] (though that comic doesn't ''need'' to be read in order to understand this one) and runs concurrently with ''ComicBook/TransformersRobotsInDisguise'', a comic set on Post-War Cybertron. The series is written by James Roberts, who was brought on after the success of ''ComicBook/TheTransformersLastStandOfTheWreckers''. Artist Alex Milne draws the series, with an occasional fill-in by Nick Roche and other artists.

From November 2013 to March 2014, [[ComicBook/TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye More than Meets the Eye]] was part of a 12-issue CrisisCrossover event with ''[[ComicBook/TransformersRobotsInDisguise Robots in Disguise]]'' called ''ComicBook/TransformersDarkCybertron''. Following the end of the event, several new characters joined the Lost Light crew, including a disillusioned Megatron who may or may not still be evil.

In a rather unique touch, this comic has a soundtrack which can be listened to [[http://forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopic.php?t=12527&sid=567734948d6cb2af551ef3055baba1da here]].

It has a [[Characters/TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye character sheet]]. Feel free to add to it. It also has a [[Recap/TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye recap page]] currently under construction, which is in dire need of WikiMagic.

This comic relies heavily on twists, surprises and foreshadowing for its impact so beware, some spoilers might be unmarked.
