Kind of? Except the turtle keeps unmasking to reveal a hidden bigger turtle. Sometimes it's not even the same turtle. And then the old turtle is still there but you don't care about it anymore. And then it turns out that everything is your fault somehow because time loops. Also there's a bunch of other people racing the turtle.

Right now the two IDW Transformers series, despite (in my opinion) being the best written comic books right now, would be insanely hard to get into. Even for people who know Generation One would be incredibly confused. (Heck, even people who read the first three Transformers series (Infiltration/Escalation/Devastation would be massively confused.)
He's a basic rundown:
The Cybertronian War is over (has been for almost 4 years of our time).
Starscream is the democratically elected leader of Cybertron.
Megatron is an Autobot... yes, he's an Autobot.
Cybertron is re-establishing contact with colonies that have been out of contact since before the war started to join a representative government.
That being said, both titles are going to hit #50 in another 4-5 months and they've heavily hinted that the War is going to start back up, so it may become a bit more recognizable for people to get back into at that point without any prior knowledge.
