I am incredibly fascinated with the Transformers films.  I need to be clear here because a lot of people tend to mistake “fascinated” with “fond of,” which I am most certainly not.  The first Transformers movie was a long, dull slog through mediocrity followed up by the abysmal second film that actually rubbed its balls in audiences faces and then a return to abject mediocrity for the conclusion of the original trilogy. 

However, I actually didn’t mind Age of Extinction, it was no great shakes, but it was better than what had come before and at best I considered it entertaining, which certainly put it ahead of a lot of its contemporaries in 2014.  Now we’ve got TF5 AKA The Last Knight.  Can this fifth installment finally provide the Transformers film fans have been clamoring for is it, at long last, time to admit that’s never going to happen?

Cover Story - Top 15 Transformers Covers

Hello, and welcome to Cover Story: digging as little into comic books as we can.  A lot of things happened last week but one of the strangest was an ongoing stream set-up by Shia LeBeouf where he streamed himself watching all of his own films.  This latest act of weirdness by one of the weirdest name actors in the Hollywood community lasted for nearly 72 hours under the hashtag #AllMyMovies and was viewed by pretty much everyone as yet another peculiar stunt from the same man who once attended a premiere with a paper bag on his head.  However, it got a lot of folks talking about LeBouf’s many films, chief among them being the Transformers trilogy, which he was forced to endure in full.  This got me thinking about Transformers and remembering they actually had a quite heroically massive comics run with Marvel back in the ‘80s.  So, let’s dive into the shallow end and get the cover story on the top 15 Marvel Transformers covers.
