New Avengers/Transformers is a project from Marvel Comics and IDW Publishing. The storyline will involve the pre-Civil War New Avengers and the Transformers. It will be set in Latveria and will involve the Characters Captain America, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Luke Cage, Wolverine, Falcon and Ms. Marvel from the Avengers. As well as Prowl, Ratchet, Jazz, Bumblebee and Optimus Prime from the Autobots. It will be created by writer Stuart Moore and penciler Tyler Kirkham and it will launch on July 5th. The tag line for the series is Assemble and Roll Out![1]
According to information currently available, the storyline will take place between the first story arc "The Transformers: Infiltration" and the second, and the current arc "The Transformers: Escalation" for the IDW Transformers series, and between the "Breakout" and "Sentry" arcs for New Avengers. Writer Stuart Moore has indicated it takes place in the regular Marvel continuity between the first two story arcs of New Avengers [2], and it is currently held as semi-continuity for IDW, which entails that, although it will not have any effect on the overall storyline of Transformers, it will not contradict it either.
This will be Spider-Man's second appearance alongside the Transformers, as he appeared in the third issue of the original Marvel Transformers comics. However, this will not have any bearing, as the bio for Death's Head in the third issue of the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A–Z (released on March 22, 2006) indicated that all previous encounters with the Transformers took place in an alternate universe, thus separating these stories from existence in standard Marvel Universe continuity.
