The War Within

A six-part miniseries written by Simon Furman, depicting the beginnings of the Autobot/Decepticon war. It was successful enough to lead to two sequel series.

Artist Don Figueroa redesigned dozens of Generation 1 characters for the series, giving them 'Cybertronian' vehicle modes: the designs for Optimus Prime and Starscream were made into toys in the Titanium Series and Cybertron toylines, respectively.
