Transformers #30 – David Nakayama Cover A First Print – Signed with COA – Elita-1 Key Issue

A major Energon Universe Transformers key issue, made even better with a David Nakayama signature.

Transformers #30 is the first-print Cover A, featuring David Nakayama’s striking portrait of Elita-1. Nakayama puts her front and center in a dramatic, battle-worn presentation that becomes especially fitting once you know what happens inside this pivotal issue.

This is the end of the story arc, with the future leadership of the Autobots hanging in the balance as Optimus Prime and Elita-1 face off over the direction of their people. The confrontation leads to a major change in the Transformers status quo: Optimus relinquishes the Matrix of Leadership, and Elita-1 takes on the mantle of Elita Prime.

That makes Nakayama’s Elita-focused Cover A particularly appropriate for the issue—and gives the book considerably more story significance than a typical modern Transformers release.

Signed by David Nakayama and includes a Certificate of Authenticity.

The included COA states that the signature was witnessed by Uncanny Stash.
