'''''The Transformers''''' is a comic book series by [[IDW Publishing]], based upon [[Hasbro]]'s [[Transformers (fiction)|Transformers]] characters and [[Transformers (toy line)|toy line]]. Following [[Dreamwave Productions]]' bankruptcy in 2005, IDW picked up the rights and hired long-time ''Transformers'' writer [[Simon Furman]] to craft a [[reboot (continuity)|rebooted]] [[Transformers: Generation 1|Generation 1]]-based continuity, similar to [[Ultimate Marvel]].<ref name="nexus">{{cite news | author = Iain Burnside | title = Caught in the Nexus: Simon Furman | publisher = Comics Nexus | date = [[2006-08-04]] | url = http://comicsnexus.insidepulse.com/articles/50140 | accessdate =2007-04-07}}</ref> An issue #0 was published in October 2005, and the ongoing series began in January 2006.
It is the first of the recognised [[Trial races for the Epsom Derby|trial races]] for the [[Epsom Derby]] to take place in the season, and although the 1939 winner [[Blue Peter (horse)|Blue Peter]] went on to capture the Derby, it has produced a limited number of contenders for the big race. Of recent winners, only [[Daliapour]] has finished placed in the Derby, finishing runner-up to [[Oath (horse)|Oath]] in 1999. Most winners will compete in another trial afterwards, and if they make it back to Epsom for the Derby they will at least have experience of the course, unlike many of the other runners.
The series is marketed as various limited series per each story,<ref>{{cite web|author=Denyer|title=A Note on Numbering|publisher=The Transformers Archive|url=http://www.tfarchive.com/comics/idw/numbering.php|accessdate=2007-03-31}}</ref> in published order as ''[[The Transformers: Infiltration]]'', ''[[The Transformers: Stormbringer|Stormbringer]]'', ''[[The Transformers: Escalation|Escalation]]'', and the upcoming ''[[The Transformers: Megatron: Origin|Megatron: Origin]]'', ''[[The Transformers: Devastation|Devastation]]'' and ''Revelation''. The series also has a sister title of ongoing [[one-shot (comics)|one-shot]]s entitled ''[[The Transformers: Spotlight]]'' which began in September 2006, each focusing on a particular character and impacting the storyline of the main title.
In 1997 and 1998 the race took place over the full distance of the Epsom Derby course - 1 mile 4 furlongs and 10 yards (2,423 metres).
