The 2019 IDW continuity is IDW Publishing's reboot of its ongoing Transformers series as a whole after the 2005 IDW continuity concluded in November 2018 with the Unicron mini-series. This new iteration of IDW's Transformers mythos follows its predecessor by taking place within the Generation 1 continuity family, and features the return of multiple of IDW-original concepts and characters mined from the prior universe and tweaked to fit into this new universe. The continuity came to a conclusion in 2022 due to IDW's loss of the Transformers license.

Unusually for a Transformers story, which generally begin in medias res with the Autobot-Decepticon conflict well underway, this continuity opens just before the outbreak of the Great War—the first story to do so since 2010's Exodus novel
