I'm half expecting a reasonably long extension, finishing off IDW & collecting the missing stuff like G2/movie adaptation/the missing GI Joe crossovers.
Furman hinted that he'd like to do the non-G1 stuff too. Which I assume means at least the Beast Wars stuff.
(I'd love to see the club/con stuff for completeness, but I really doubt that'd happen.)
I am wondering what happens to the premium subscriptions if there's an extension though. Do they just whip up a few more prints?

With the Who one, premium subs went down to a regular one once it was extended.

So, looking at the last of the 'wartime' IDW comics (ie everything that takes place before Chaos) we're still waiting on five Spotlights - Kup, Ramjet, Cliffjumper, Thundercracker & Bumblebe - six issues of Devastation, two of Chaos Theory, four for Police Action and four for Autocracy. There's three volumes to fill: 34, 38 and 51. That's 21 issues to fit 3 volumes. My guesses is 34 'Autocracy' have it, Kup, Ramjet and Thundercracker, 38 'Devastation' will have it and Cliffjumper and 51 'Police Action' will have it, Chaos Theory and Bumblebee.
I highly doubt we'll be getting Revolution, First Strike, Shining Armor or TvV. I'm not even sure we're getting the tie-ins like the Scavengers issue of Revolution.

swop Ramjet set on Earth with Cliffjumper set off planet Good point, Rajmet takes place during sometime during the ations, Cliffjumper is... sometime before The Surge. Also from Previews ... Transformers 67 New Cybertron Transformers 68 Conquerors New Cybertron is the first arc of the Optimus Prime comic, so either vol 77 or 78. Conquerers is the last arc in not-RiD before AHO, so 69 or 70. Probably. I'm not going to guess what will fill out either volume.

OK, going by issues 14 and 16, the contents of issue 15 (Time Wars) must be: -Marvel UK "Time Wars" #199-205 -Annual 1988 "All in the Minds!" -Marvel US #52-55 -Plus a bonus of "a behind-the-scenes look at Galvatron's storyline"
How close was I?

Interestingly, issue 64 is now volume 80 - Requiem of the Wreckers, rather than the unnumbered Ghost Stories.
New Cybertron is volume 78, and Conquerors is volume 67.
That should make volume 77 the first Lost Light collection. And with Requiem as volume 80, I'd say that all but guarantees an extension to finish off LL/Optimus Prime.

Thought I'd post the source of this information as I was surprised to read it. The contents blurb sounds like they're still including "Ghost Stories" though don't you think? And also that last issue of Til All Are One. The Wreckers – wrecked? The Autobots’ crack commando team has been torn apart, betrayed and generally laid low. Which makes it possibly the worst time for them to come under fire from an anti-Cybertronian campaigner and have to face an old and deadly foe. Or should that be foes? To all things an ending – and this is the Requiem of the Wreckers! Plus, it’s Windblade’s swansong and there’s a ghostly encounter for Bumblebee. Bonus background features created especially for The Definitive G1 Collection include a gallery of Wreckers ephemera and a new contextual introduction by series editorial consultant Simon Furman.

I did notice that, but given where the previous volume leaves us it would be an incredibly unsatisfying ending to the series. Not that I'd entirely put that past Hachette at this point, to be honest, but I think that it's quite likely that they'll extend it to finish off the IDW stuff now at least. Hopefully we'll find out soon!
(The biggest stumbling block is still the extra licenses though. I'm not sure they'd be able to wrap it up withouht the Visionaries miniseries at the very least.)
Caveat: I am quite often spectacularly wrong about these things!

I've not seen Time Wars in my travels so far. I hope Orbital or Forbidden Planet have copies available when I'm back in London on Tuesday. I'm too tired to check if this has been mentioned previously, but it looks like Toy Soldiers (Vol 9) will contain the Action Force/TF crossover. Hurrah!

I picked up Time Wars.
Still annoyed that it follows The Underbase. Daft.
And of course we don't get the Ultra Magnus/Galvatron showdown we should have.

Only glanced at it.
The recoloured splash by JP from Issue 201 is the only one I spotted.

And of course we don't get the Ultra Magnus/Galvatron showdown we should have. I know fans were unhappy about this, but Magnus's apparent victory over Galvatron in a fair fight in 'Salvage' was so unconvincing that I can't see any workable 'final showdown' between the two going any other way than Galvatron killing Magnus. It was just too well established in 'Target: 2006', 'Burning Sky', 'Fire on High' and 'Vicious Circle' that they were in different leagues power-wise. Unless either Magnus had a massive upgrade, or he beat Galvatron by trickery. It was also annoying that Optimus Prime kept missing Galvatron for one reason or another, so it was good they met in the end. Maybe a 2-on-1 with Prime and Magnus against Galvatron, like they did with Megatron in 'Resurrection', could have worked. Martin

Martin Well given that by the end Galvatron was completely insance, I think Magnus could defeat him. It's not going to be a match of raw power against raw power, I don't think he was daft enough for that. However, this is a Galvatron who has been seriously injured at this point. I think we could have got something dramatically satiisfying. Optimus and Magnus against Megatron and Galvatron would have been something!

Optimus and Magnus against Megatron and Galvatron would have been something! Something... but they're not comparable as pairings. Optimus (non-Powermaster) and Megatron are fairly evenly matched in terms of power, with Prime edging it in a fair fight with no distractions - and every time in unarmed combat. Magnus on a good day is on a par with them. Galvatron is in another league. As you say, it becomes a possibility if Galvatron is severely handicapped by injuries to begin with - as he was when fighting PM Prime in 'Time Wars' and Fort Max in US #79. In a fair fight, Optimus + Magnus vs Megatron + Shockwave would work, but not Galvatron. Martin

Or you just get Prowl to apply his brain and do something unexpected like slap Galvatron's own Mind-Bug on his head so you can stick him in a box.
