The Definitive G1 Collection: Volume 71: All Hail Optimus – cover art by Don Figueroa (Sky Lynx) and Livio Ramondelli (retro)

Very saddening. At no point during the run was it implied this would be a limited run to gauge interest so I can only surmise that there weren't enough subscriptions or sales on the first 2 issues for it to be a financially viable project and they've dropped it. But then again, you never know, right? Sometimes these partworks companies will rework the product and bring it out better than before for a second try.A feature in issue 1 states that the Marvel UK comic sold 200,000 copies per week, when really it only sold 100,000 per week at its peak. This error presumably stems from the fact that Marvel (and other publishers at the time) multiplied their circulation figures by 2.5 to calculate their readership, as they estimated that many issues would be shared between friends and siblings. [4] This error was not present in IDW's original reprints. [18]

The Japanese reprinted editions have been published from Villagebooks. Bonus material includes: art from all covers, appearance character commentary, includes a booklet with a commentary written by Akihisa Koike and Eugene Ishikawa. The Transformers: The IDW Collection Phase Two: Volume 4 ( October 12, 2016) ISBN 1631407155 / ISBN 978-1631407154 Set prior to the war between Autobots and Decepticons, Transformers takes place on a thriving, peaceful Cybertron that serves as an interstellar commerce hub. The era of peace is brought to an unexpected end, however, when the planet experiences its first murder in living memory. [1] Creative team

Confirmation that the part work is indeed coming to an end with Issue #100. Issue #97 and #98 arrived yesterday. 97 contained GI Joe vs Transformers 3. The stories from the 1987 annual are scattered. " Vicious Circle!" is placed in volume 8 alongside UK #113-120, collectively forming the first "post-movie" storyline. "What's In a Name?" is placed in volume 11 directly before UK #135-136, which developed its premise further. " Ark Duty" is also thrown into volume 11, after UK #146-151... despite chronologically taking place some time before that story.
