Transformers: Generation 2 (Comic Book)	comment	A few years after the original Transformers comic had ended its run, Marvel published a new 12 issue series entitled Transformers: Generation 2. Loosely based off the toyline of the same name, the series was written by Simon Furman, with art by Derek Yaniger and Manny Galan. In keeping with the tone of many comics in the 1990's, Generation 2 had a dark and violent tone, with numerous major and minor characters killed off as Optimus Prime and Megatron fought the vastly superior forces of the second generation Cybertronian Empire. The series lasted from November 1993 to October 1994.Reruns of the G1 television series were also marketed under the banner. The Cybernet Space Cube, a 3D CGI model, was used for scene transitions and the opening, which featured a new CGI-animated sequence similar to the toy commercials of the time. Hasbro also launched the Generation 2 toyline around the same time the comic premiered. The first year mostly saw redecoes of older Generation 1 toys with new features such as guns that fire missiles, and in a few cases, soundboxes. Also part of the line were several toys imported from the European G1 line and a brand-new Megatron toy that transformed into a tank instead of a gun due to federal law. 1994 introduced new toys, as well as redecoes of the Aerialbots and Combaticons, and in 1995, it became clear that Hasbro was seriously running out of ideas, turning to small and cheap toys such as the Cyberjets (which saw the extensive use of balljoints, a feature that is now all but standard in the toyline), the Go-Bots (which were, in a nutshell, transforming 1:64 scale Hot Wheels cars, even being compatible with Hot Wheels and Matchbox playsets), Laser Cycles, and Auto Rollers; 1995 did, however, introduce the fan-favorite Laser Optimus Prime toy. The line was cancelled in 1995, and it seemed Transformers was finished. Enter Beast Wars...

Transformers: Generation 2 (Comic Book) / int_1237828f	comment	Anyone Can Die: Never more true than during this series. Rarely does an issue go by without some Transformers character who was fairly prominent in G1 dying violently. Some notable examples include Red Alert, Ironhide, Nightbeat, Fortress Maximus, Slag, Frenzy and Razorclaw. And that's just the start.

All that pales to the damage Jhiaxus inflicts, as he turns San Francisco into a smoking crater from orbit. Bad enough? No? Meet The Swarm.

Transformers: Generation 2 (Comic Book) / int_cc7fae30	comment	Outside-Context Problem: From Optimus' perspective, it seems like the Cybertronian empire sprang out of nowhere, having somehow built their massive empire in space without anyone else's knowledge. It later turns out they came into existence relatively recently, during the Transformers' four million year-long sleep on Earth.

Transformers: Generation 2 (Comic Book) / int_d83f3588	comment	Depending on the Artist: Manny Galan's art contrasts badly with Derek Yaniger's highly stylized art. Particularly since Galan tries to copy Yaniger's style, with less than successful results.

Transformers: Generation 2 (Comic Book) / int_eb7c34cf	type	Crossover
Transformers: Generation 2 (Comic Book) / int_eb7c34cf	comment	Crossover: The G2 series' launch was helped by a crossover arc with G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (Marvel). In the crossover, Cobra is responsible for building Megatron's new body, and they play a major role in the second issue. G.I. Joe turns up halfway through the series after the Decepticons start trashing the Earth as well as at the start to tell the Autobots about Megatron returning. They request Autobot reinforcement and aren't too happy when the only bot Skydive can produce is Optimus Prime. The fact that the events were ignored by GI Joe: A Real American Hero led to Continuity Snarls.

Transformers: Generation 2 (Comic Book) / int_fed93e1b	comment	Dark and Troubled Past: Jhiaxus is forced to confront his in issue #3. He was once a violent sadist, and has since cultivated a calm and reasonable personality in an effort to convince himself that he is a moral person. It turns out that's just a facade, and that he's still as bad as he always was. Naturally instead of admitting this, he's determined to kill Prime and the Autobots so they can't remind him of the truth of who he is.
