Amazon.com has updated their "Transformers: Exodus" product page with the following description of the Exodus novel.
"For twenty-five years the colossal battle between Megatron and
Optimus Prime has captivated Transformers fans around the world. Yet
the full story of the conflict between the two most famous
Transformers—everything that happened before Optimus and Megatron
arrived on planet Earth—has always been a mystery . . . until now. Here,
for the first time told in its entirety, is the thrilling saga of
Optimus and Megatron before they were enemies, before they even knew
each other.
“Freedom is every Cybertronian’s right!” After
Megatron utters these immortal words, the caste-bound planet of
Cybertron is rocked to its foundations. Megatron, an undefeated
gladiator thug, gives voice to the unspoken longings of the oppressed
masses—and opens the mind of an insignificant data clerk to
possibilities previously unthinkable.
Long before becoming the
honorable Optimus Prime, Orion Pax is a mere office underling, an
unlikely candidate to answer an outlaw’s call to revolution. But Orion
is determined to meet this defiant enemy of all that Cybertron stands
for, no matter what he has to do, or how many laws he has to break.
What
happens between Orion Pax and Megatron forever changes the destiny of
all Transformers. This gripping, action-packed novel reveals all the
loyalties and treacheries, trust and betrayals, deadly violence and
shining ideals, as well as the pivotal roles played by other characters,
including Starscream, Sentinel Prime, Omega Supreme, and one of the
thirteen original Primes, the last link to Cybertron’s glorious Golden
Age.
Discover how meek disciple Orion Pax becomes the fearless
leader Optimus Prime; follow the tantalizing clues about the lost Matrix
of Leadership and the lore surrounding it; find out why the two allies
fighting a corrupt regime suddenly turn on each other, and what
triggers their epic war. Transformers: Exodus provides everything fans
ever wanted to know about one of the fiercest rivalries of all time."
