Same, love his Tiki work.
Would love a daft wee Tikiformers Generation 2 thing from him.
My copy of Hachette G2 arrived from Red Hot Comics, but as I was out this am I saw a copy in Smiths, I couldn't resist.

Yaniger was around for the wrong era of comics, where an issue had to come out every month no matter what eventually got printed in it.

Has the Revolution cover been revealed yet?

Has the Revolution cover been revealed yet? Nowhere that I've found. I'll do my usual thing and post it as soon as I can after picking it up tomorrow.

Apparently the contents of Revolution is the five issues and the three Transformers tie ins but no Issue 0 prelude. Using that as an example I'm guess First Strike will be all six issues no issue 0 and the two Transformers tie ins

I spoke too soon! I can't see that image posting so here it is again. Looks like someone at Forbidden Planet scanned it.

Anyone know the Extra content? None. Not even a cover gallery, which is promised for 82.

Did Furman provide his intro at least? Yep. That's there as normal. I can only assume Issue 0 or the cover gallery would have taken the book over Hachette's page-count limit, but with the variable length of previous volumes, I wasn't aware they actually had one. Something else weird (or, if not weird, then eccentric, at least): Furman's intro gives recommendations as to where the one-shots fit (TAaO between 2 and 3, Transformers between 3 and 4, and MTMtE betwen 4 and 5), despite them being placed together at the back of the book - and then they're not even in that order. It's a minor thing, compared to the hatchet (Hachette?) jobs we've seen in the past, but it still niggles.

Revolution 0 is included, it's on the index in the front and printed first in the book, it's just not noted on the back. It's not the first time the back hasn't been a complete list of contents, which is why you shouldn't take it as gospel.

Sorry, I hadn't read the material before, so I didn't know what came from #0.

Yup people on facebook were wrong the Issue 0 prelude is included probably why no cover gallery or extras

Some bindings will have limits before going into another stitch. Hachette themselves have a limit of around 250 pages if the 2000AD collection is anything to go by. They just put out a Strontium Dog book with 252 pages of strip.

Does Hachette usually have a full cover per page on the cover gallery?

Sometimes, but depending on how many covers there are they'll often put 4 on one page.

Assuming that 86-87 are two volumes of LL, and one more volume somewhere for Unicron, that leaves the unprinted potentials list at:
The Gift 13 Annual text stories Armada Preview-7 Remaining parts of DW MTMTE and MTMTE Armada Last Stand of the Wreckers extras Scioli TF/Joe Black Cybertron, and The Movie Shining Armor Transformers v Visionaries
Also undone, but not potential: 2 Letter Page changeover Robo-Capers and 1 changeover text story 5 Robo-Capers Transformers strips DW Ongoing 0-10 Micromasters Summper Special
So, 5-6 volumes, depending on how they reprint DD Joe/TF. 1 for TvV, 1 for Shining Armor. I'd like to see the rest of Armada, and all the annual stories, which would be 1 each. Maybe 1 wrapup for IDW?

88 is Unicron that was confirmed by Furman. Shining Armor and Transformers v Visionaries i think its doubtful cause they would have been included prior to Unicron.

According to the latest issue of Previews, Forbidden Planet have the wrong contents for Issue #88 (Volume 95). It is indeed GI Joe Vs Transformers Part 1, but lists the creative team as Scioli / Barber. And it specifically states "Visionary comic book maker Tom Scioli" in the blurb about the issue. So either FB are wrong, or the contents have been corrected / updated since the latest issue of Previews went to press. If FB are wrong, Devil's Due material could be in one of the "unknown" volumes, most likely in the 93 to 95 range, as chronologically they were published before the IDW material.

But unless Scioli worked on something else other then Transformers vs GI Joe (already in 73/74), Previews have got it wrong.

If it is correct they could possibly be putting TF/Joe the Movie in there since it wasn't in the two volumes of the main book.. Would be an odd fit to go with the Devil's Due material though so it's probably wrong.

So I’ve just picked up Issue 84/Volume 89, “Realignments”, and it includes all 5 issues of the GI Joe prelude to Gen 2. Yes, the issue with only about 5 panels of Transformer appearances is there in its entirety.

5 US issues. is that the lightest of the Hachette books so far in regards to pagecount?

The GI/Joe Transformers miniseries is in there as well, as predicted.
