TFNation is and always has been a celebration of all things Transformers. In 2026, that includes the 40th anniversary of the first feature length film and all that has come since! Our next guest has added his own stamp to the occasion by providing a new cover for a remastered edition of the Transformers The Movie comic collection - please join us in welcoming writer, artist, and all around bad man, Nick Roche!
Roche has haunted the Transformers scene from the Emerald Isle since the early days of the UK fandom; officially, he has been involved since the days of IDW Publishing and the Spotlight series (including Shockwave, Hot Rod, Kup, Hardhead, and Megatron). He is best known for his co-authoring of the Wreckers Saga (Last Stand, Sins, and Requiem), and the final IDW comics: Last Bot Standing.
Outside of the Transformers, he has graced the pages and covers of most publishers out there, including titles the likes of Doctor Who, Doctor Aphra, Spider-Man, Cosmic Ghost Rider, Blood and Thunder, Masters of the Universe Genesis, and his creator-owned series Monster Motors and Scarenthood.
Nick Roche will be joining us for TFNation 2026, where you can ask him about his full-colour Artobot artbook too! Stay tuned for more details on the TFNation website -- where All Are One!
