Astrobots Tp Vol 02 - by Simon Furman (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The Sequel to the celebrated comic mini-series by Transformers writer Simon Furman, Astrobots Volume 02 brings even more characters from the Astrobots toy line to readers in the battle over Colony World 1.

The clock is ticking for planet Earth and the race is on to find a new world capable of sustaining human life. New, sophisticated machine lifeforms called Astrobots are dispatched to scout far-flung worlds in the hope of crafting a new home. With food and raw materials running out and climate disasters escalating, the evacuation of the entire human population is the only slender hope remaining.

On Colony World 1, a catastrophic power struggle forges a new - all-Astrobot - society, and presiding over this nascent civilization is Atlas, an evolved mech with a future proof plan. A plan that does not include humankind.
