The two Worlds Collide's volumes were a mess as they weren't planned for until the last minute when they found out they didn't have the rights to published what they wanted. As for IDW Beast Wars minis ? Does Furman like/love them if he does chances are the will I say.

I'd imagine they could just whack a picture of Unicron on the Armada book or something. I can't remember if he actually shows up at the end of the stuff that'll be in the book or not though. More generally, what do we think the likelihood of the IDW Beast Wars minis getting collected in the extension is? It's technically in G1 continuity. Unicron was already in "Part 2", although not on the cover. BW in the extension? Let's see what we have: * at least 2 volumes each to cover Lost Light and Optimus Prime. * 1 for Unicron Mini * 1 each for Revolutionaries and Visionaries * 1 for Rom vs TF * 1 each for Revolution and First Strike that makes 10 to finish the IDW stuff, so it leaves 10 up for grabs. We know he's going to include G2, and that's 2 volumes. So with 8 volumes left, I think there's a good likelihood of getting 2 volumes for the IDW Beast Wars. In the remaining six, probably 4 for the Devil's Due Joe/TF crossovers, maybe the Marvel Joe/TF, and finally IDW's TF: the Movie. Of course I could be totally wrong!

Did the Marvel Movie adaptation make it in somewhere?

First Strike and Revolution could be two issues the main series and the tie ins.

Odd, they have the covers up for these 2, but the previous 2 still have placeholders. I assume Empire of Stone will have another Drift pic, but it would be great to go out of the box and have an image of Hellbat or Gigatron. And with Worlds Collide, maybe they're racking their brains trying to think of a G1 character that fits with the material. If the content is indeed issues 6-13 of Armada, they could use Armada Starscream and say it's G1 Starscream in his Dark Cybertron IDW body. A stretch of course, but what else would make sense? I suspect that the answer is rather more prosaic than that, either Previews have failed to supply the covers to FP, or FP have failed to put them on the product pages. And my guess for the cover of Empire of Stone is Ratchet. We've had his Infiltration variant used, but not his DW MTMtE pic. And Worlds Colide? Thunderwing. He's the only one of the five from WC who hasn't had a cover yet. I know he (probably) won't be appearing in the book itself, but it fits with the name, and it fits better than some of the other covers have.

That particular month it seemed to take for ages for FP to add the Partwork (Previews UK?) listings. I tweeted at them about it and shortly after these appeared, sans images. Whether that was to do with me or Previews I don't know. Historically they didn't always feature the art - just most recently they have.

Hatchette has the description up. It's going to be the "Dinobot Trilogy" of Punishment, Redemption and Salvation.

I think it's good customer service to finish the 80 issues before extending. That way folk who signed up for the initial run get what they budgeted for rather than feel 'forced' to lay out for extras and can decide if they want/can afford the additional volumes. -Ralph My problem is deciding if I have enough stamina to sign up for another 10 months of Hachette deliveries (assuming they're keeping to the same 2-per-month schedule). I guess it would be nice to have that Unicron as a capstone to the IDW run.

Nothing extra just the regular Furman intro and covers gallery

I’ve been happily reading the IDWverse through in sequence lately, but just caught up to #50, with #51 not due until December. I’m glad I did as I’ve made a lot more sense of it all this way. Whatever the thinking of the series, reading out of sequence is not helpful at all. That Heart Of Darkness book is still a duffer regardless of the context! Do we think we’ll get the rest of the IDW Zombie crossover in the extension?

Do we think we’ll get the rest of the IDW Zombie crossover in the extension? The first Infestation event? I highly doubt it as none of it's relevant to anything else to do with Transformers apart from the two issues that we already have collected in Hearts of Darkness. If I recall correctly there was an editorial and/or licensee mandate that the various properties didn't actually interact at all, so the main event story doesn't feature any of them. We should however in theory get the two Infestation 2 Transformers issues which don't require any of the other Infestation 2 books either, as they're the next little (if pretty inconsequential) part of the Hearts of Steel timeline that becomes Centurion's backstory in the Hasbro Universe stuff. Publication wise they came out around the beginning of MTMTE/RID but I suppose they could slot them anywhere that they have two issues worth of space in a volume anywhere up to where they start on Revolutionaries.

Yeah it was those two i meant - and if you say they're tied to some of the later Hasbroverse stuff that sets up Unicron (yes?) then it makes sense to include I hope.

Anyone pick up Autocracy? Yup, I swear it's the skinniest book in the series. Autocracy & Spotlight: Thundercracker. Seven pages of covers and a one page article called " Creating the IDVerse: Optimus Origin" which is padding around three or four quotes from the writers.

So, is this gonna be issues 1-13, since Worlds Collide starts with 14? Also, who drew that Thunderwing for Dreamwave? I don't think it's Don. I guess it could be, but his Stormbringer Thunderwing was so different.

Hard to say as the profiles never got individual credits. The pencillers listed for the issue that Thunderwing art appears in are: Don Figueroa, Ke Jiang, Alex Lin, Andrew Froedge, Marcelo Matere, Joe Ng, Makoto Ono

Some folks of stepped forward and let me know if the art was by someone else. I just wonder why Dreamwave didn't give specific credits for each page.

They may not have kept records. They weren't exactly known for reliability and giving where credit was due.

Comicvine has the whole image along with the interior robot one, presumably by the same creator. Any clues looking at these?

However, the same artist didn't always draw both modes. On the interior bot page, the shuttle mode looks very precise, while the other "space jet" mode looks very out of proportion. I may just chalk this up to crediting "Dreamwave" or unknown. Has anyone ever tried to contact the original artists to see who drew/colored what?

Bear in mind also that the individual issue credits might not even be right. It's not recorded on the Wiki, but I'm pretty sure that at the time, more than one artist said that they were credited on an issue they didn't have any art in, and vice versa. Truth is, unless someone puts in a lot of effort and gets very lucky, we're never going to be able to credit a lot of the work from the DW profile books. And DW in general...
