Fans of the
Transformers movies, cartoons, and toys won't want to miss the newest Humble Bundle that is available for a limited time.
HumbleBundle.com allows consumers to purchase a bundle of video games or publications for any price they choose with that money being split three ways as designated by the buyer amongst a designated charity, the publisher, and the website. The benefits of the bundle are normally increased if a person spends at least the average price of everyone purchasing bundles. Often times there is also an upper tier with more perks if someone spends beyond a certain amount of money on the bundle. In this case the
Humble Bundle is a collection of
Transformers comic books from publisher IDW.
The
Transformers bundle lets people pay whatever amount they choose to receive 67 digital comic books from IDW. You could pay $5, $10, $25, $50 whatever you'd like to purchase this comic book bundle and designate from that sum how much IDW receives, how much of a tip to give Humble for its serve, and how much to donate to in this case the Hasbro Children's Fund. So if someone were to purchase the bundle for $15 they could designate $5 to each or could give $10 to Hasbro Children's Fund with $2.50 each going to the other two. You get the gist. It is hoped people will appreciate getting a good deal and at the same time also be generous enough to support the charities using the Bundle as a fundraiser.
For the whatever you want to pay route, this Humble Bundle has 6 graphic novels that compile the first 29 issues of the
Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye serial plus the individual issues issue for 34-37 of the comic book series. If you spend the average amount people are paying for the bundle, which was $10.88 at the time of this post, you would also get 6 more graphic novels that compile that compile the first 28 issues of the serial
Transformers: Robots in Disguise and a seventh graphic novel
Transformers: Dark Cybertron Volume 1 which compiles the first 6 issues of that serial. Plus if someone spends the average + $5 they have as a bonus included into the bundle the graphic novel
Transformers: Dark Cybetron Volume 2 and the individual issues of
Transformers: Robots in Disguise 33 and 34. So for approximately $15, a someone can pick up 112 digital comic books estimated to be worth $155. If you go to Amazon.com for example,
Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye Volume 1 for Kindle is priced at $7.99 and the digital edition on
Comixology is the same price. So this Humble Bundle is not a darn bad deal I do say so myself.
Money spent on this Humble Bundle also supports The Hasbro Children’s Fund, Inc., a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit whose mission is to empower childhood by bringing “the sparkle
of Hope, the joy of Play and the power of Service” into the lives of
the children across the globe. Working with strategic charitable
partners, the grants made through the Hasbro Children’s Fund support
programs that deliver; stability for children in crisis; pediatric
physical and mental health services; hunger security; educational
programs; quality out of school time programming and programs that
empower youth through service. To learn more about these programs and
how they are making a difference for children worldwide, please visit

These digital comic books are DRM-free which means that they aren't tied to a particular website or computer program to be able to read. Download them onto whatever device you want and read them at your convenience where and when you want. I've heard that accessing these comics works great from a PC or laptop but some people have had difficulties with them on smart phones and tablets. Here's a hint, for smart phones and tablets download an app called
Bluefire Reader that is meant to optimize reading ebooks and you should be in good shape with those devices too.
If you, or someone you know, are a
Transformers fan or a connoiseur of comic books this is a Humble Bundle not to pass up. Don't wait though as this offer is gone as of March 11 - as you can tell by the clock clicking down on the offer's web page.
