The following year, [[IDW Publishing]] [[reboot (fiction)|rebooted]] the G1 series from scratch within various [[The Transformers (IDW Publishing)|limited series]] and [[The Transformers: Spotlight|one shots]]. This allowed long-time writer of Marvel and Dreamwave comics, [[Simon Furman]], to create his own universe without continuity hindrance, similar to [[Ultimate Marvel]]. This new continuity originally consisted of a comic book series titled The Transformers with a companion series known as [[The Transformers: Spotlight]]. The main series was broken up into several story arcs. Eventually, with IDW Publishing losing sales, the series was given a soft reboot. Beginning with ''All Hail Megatron'', the series was set in a new direction, discarding the miniseries and Spotlight format with [[Ongoing series|ongoing comics]]. By 2012 the series had split into three ongoing series; The Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye, The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (which later changed in 2015 to "The Transformers") and The Transformers: Till All Are One. In 2022, it was announced that IDW lost the publishing rights to Transformers.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-01-21 |title=IDW Loses GI Joe, Transformers License at the End of the Year |url=https://www.cbr.com/idw-loses-gi-joe-transformers-licenses-2022/ |access-date=2022-04-15 |website=CBR}}</ref>
