AUGUST 2018 Transformers comics and books

Why Optimus Prime is ongoing while the event has already begun makes no sense to me. The event has really ruined the end of the Prime series. At least Lost Light seems to miss all the crossover ruining...

I'm not sure how the three comics are linking into each other, but the final month (October) has the final three issues released in this order - Lost Light, Unicron, Optimus Prime.... so Lost Light ends during the Unicron story (returning during the climactic battle maybe?), and Optimus Prime is probably the epilogue to the Unicron story, and entire Gen1 story.

I guess during the six issue Unicron series, the other two comic series probably keep their distance until the end, otherwise it wouldn't make sense having them as separate comics (like when we had MTMTE and RID comics running concurrently to each other timewise, but separate from each other for most of the time).

You’re right, the last issue of Prime is an epilogue. Which is a real bummer, we know Prime survives and that this universe will somewhat continue... regen Prime/Lost Light in twenty years time???

I won’t lie, I half expected this run to end with a big ending of everyone and a teaser panel of Primes eyes lighting up after sacrificing himself or some such but I guess it’ll be an open ending instead.
