1) Yes, there's always a Story So Far page in every book though. 2) Yes, four pages of pencil art on each. 3) I should have read it properly. The text a bottom says it's unused pencil art by Don. I assume then, he was due to draw it and had to drop out. Oh, so is the "Story so far" the same as Furman's intro, or a separate section? On 2 and 3, thanks! I'm surprised of the fact that Don was the original artist and this is not noted on the tfwiki page. I guess Hachette doesn't expand on that? Intros & story so far look like this (standard subscriber ding to top left corner)  …and here's the Don pages. Interesting to compare, if you have what was printed.   |

I'm going to have to dig out my Art of War pages to compare Don's art with the final product. Thanks for this, and the other images!
For the tfwiki page, on the chart for this volume, I'm just going to list the extras as "A two page sketchbook of Don Figueroa's original pencils for the the first 8 pages of The Art of War." The DD series pages will list that, as well as Furman's intro and the cover gallery.

Do we think there's a chance that the last issue of Lost light will be moved to the Unicron book, as with Optimus Prime? There's something a bit ambiguous about Furman's wording in the intro that suggests that might be the case.

Hope not. I can see why the last issue of OP ended up in there, but Lost Light would read better kept together. Which means that probably yes, it will be in the Unicron volume.

Random question; the original subscription had a premium option where if you spent an extra... £2? per issue you would receive some extras... I want to say 4 prints/posters? I was just wondering what Hachette did from Issues 81 and beyond, whether or not they still charged premium subscribers an extra £2 and if so whether they compensated that with anything extra or if they dropped down subscribers' price to the standard £10?

The subscription price droped for those subscribers with the extension.
Well. It should have anyway. You never know with that wacky Hachette...

Can anyone identify the image below Hot Rod in volume 36. This was an early one I could never find:  |

I thought it was a variant cover from the Infiltration series. But I can't see it on the Wiki. It's a Guido piece though, right?

Yeah, Ratchet diving away from a explosion. Thought it was a shot fired by Blitzwing. It’s a Guido piece, the Hot Rod is a Figueroa

I know the contents SHOULD be from Stormbringer, but I don't think the pic is. I just scanned thru Infiltration online and couldn't find it. If indeed the Ratchet pic is from the early series, it's either EJ Su (Infiltration/Escalation) or Don Figueroa (Stormbringer). Where does the Hot RoD pic originate? |

The Ratchet is Guido Guidi.

The Ratchet is Guido Guidi. What's the source? Edit: I'm not trying to be a dick about these, I am just a stickler about providing accurate info - in this case, on the TFWiki. I don't know why, I just do. |

Spotlight Mirage - Page 9. Egads, you're right! Why the hell did they use that image for this collection? Don's Hot Rod image - is that from art he did for the 86 movie Bluray, or something of that nature? |
