Collects Dark Cybertron #1, More than Meets the Eye issues #23–27, and Robots in Disguise issues #23–27, Dark Cybertron Finale, and Windblade (2014) issues #1–4. Top 10 Easter eggs for " War and Peace" and scorecards listing each faction and their crew members during the arc.

The Transformers: The IDW Collection Phase Two: Volume 11 ( June 17, 2020) ISBN 1684056403 / ISBN 978-1684056408The original caught my attention more, in spite of the clunky exposition. Based on the unfinished Movie script. As it has some concepts and ideas that were new to me. The Matrix is a green "egg". Ultra Magnus has his unedited demise (pictured above) which I would have loved to see in the Movie. However, most interesting of all, Hot Rod was not involved in the conclusion to the Megatron/Prime fight. Megatron simply reached the gun first. Which I think, would have gone over much better in the finished film. Volume 3 presents UK #41-50 before US #11-12, when they should be the other way around. Apparently this was a deliberate decision to place focus on the UK story the volume was centred around! [5] Collects Autocracy issues #1– 12, Spotlight: Trailcutter, Hoist& Orion Pax, Robots in Disguise issues #7 & #8–9, and More than Meets the Eye issues #6– 8. Overall both books get a 5/10. As I said, decidedly average and middle of the road by IDWverse stands previously set.

Each volume contains cover art from the original issues, plus a new introduction by Simon Furman. The bonus features below are in addition to these. Vol. I've previously made it clear that I don't really value Marvel US over Marvel UK, in G1 Transformers. The art and stories of the latter were typically superior in every aspect and I didn't really rate Bob Budiansky as a result of that. Enter: The Underbase Saga We hope that this is to your satisfaction and please look out for exciting titles coming soon from Hachette Partworks. Bonus material includes a bio on the Titans, the making of Dark Cybertron with John Barber and James Roberts, a cover gallery and a forward by Simon Furman.

Transformers Volume 2: The Change In Their Nature ( September 16, 2020) ISBN 1684056756 / ISBN 978-1684056750 Ryan F on the TFW2005 forums: "The weird thing is, though, these aren't the IDW versions. The cover to Heavy Traffic has all the Marvel characters around the edge, and the little kid in Decepticon Graffiti is wearing his Spider-Man t-shirt. This stuff was painted out of the IDW trades due to rights issues with Marvel."

Collects Revolutionaries issues #5– 8, Hasbro Heroes Sourcebook #2: " Upgrade", Lost Light issues #8–9 & #10– 12, Optimus Prime issues #7–8 & #9–10, Transformers Annual 2017, and Salvation. Transformers typically has that, by default. The motivations, the world building, the contextualisation of the titular Giant Alien Robots. Most of this series however, is (dense) talking heads. It's like Star Trek, mixed with the humour of Red Dwarf, in Robot Cosplay. I imagine the appeal is akin to the Disney approach to Marvel Movies. Generalise and dilute the source material to make it as accessible to the general audience as possible. The Transformers: Robots in Disguise Volume 1 ( July 25, 2012) ISBN 1613772912 / ISBN 978-1613772911 It's apparent that when the partwork was planned out, Hatchette intended to be the first company to reprint the latter-day Dreamwave material such as the Sunstorm arc, Micromasters, and the Summer Special [6] in volumes 27 and 28—but those volumes wound up containing issues from Dreamwave's Armada comic, which merely guest-starred G1 characters and seem very out of place in a "Definitive G1 Collection" (unsurprisingly, the rest of the Armada and Energon material is omitted). Presumably, this late change occurred for the same reason those stories have never been reprinted in the first place—nobody's sure whether the creative teams were actually paid for their work. A summary of The Age of Wrath was included, but none of the finished issues of that series or of Transformers/G.I. Joe: Divided Front were reprinted. An article about Fleetway's UK Generation 2 comic, including [small-scale scans of] " War Without End", their first UK-original G2 strip.Sketches by E. J. Su, bios on IDW Ultra Magnus& IDW Sixshot, an article on creating the IDW Spotlights, and an interview with Su. With your 4th delivery, you will receive your FREE Transformers bookends. For customers starting with Issue 1, this will be with your 5th delivery. Unfortunately, the US comics are very exposition-heavy and clumsily plotted by very much a B-Team of Marvel writers and the UK comics, whilst showing a little more subtlety in both their art and writing, feel almost like an off-brand copy rather than official content.
