Should this be moved to old thread in a few months? Seeing it's old stories. but could this be stuff we should have got in Classics UK?

A must-read for Transformers fans! Curated by James Roberts (Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye), Best of the Rarities includes some of the greatest hard-to-find Transformers stories from the series’ almost 40-year and over 1,500-issue history! This collection includes never-before-reprinted material from the U.S. and the UK!

A Classics UK continuation would make sense. The Hachette collection of TFUK backup stories haven't been released in the U.S.
But what could the U.S. material be?

Replying to myself... The G2 Halloween Special edition would be a good tie-in with the Legacy toyline.

Oversized issue, if you're a fan of Marvel UK TFs I would recommend picking it up.

It doesn't state price or page count but expect details to follow.
Just looked - The Soundwave cover - $6.99

I was unaware until recently that there are several 'best of' TF Specials from IDW. Optimus Prime, Megatron and Hot Rod ones are out. Beasts is July, then Rarities.
Naturally, I have ordered them all as I can never resist chunky reprint comics*. Reminds me of ye olde Specials from back in the day.

*I can often resist trades like this, but put them out as an actual comic? Sold!

That might be in there, but I think there is going to be something else and if it is you will be blown away by it.

I can often resist trades like this, but put them out as an actual comic? Sold! Have to agree with you here. Staple-bound issues are much easier to read and require less space to store in comparison to saddle-stitch/perfect bound magazines. |

Paninivision went back to non-spine comics for Spider-Man and Batman.

The last annual text story should be in it. But I'm not sure about the mind Games Geoff Senior Megatron unless we had a different story plot for it that was changed to match the US comic?
