Just noting that the second series of Shattered Glass begins in August, which will take it right to the end of IDW's contracted run of Transformers comics... so there had better not be any delays.
It would also mean that a TPB would have to come out in December with the final issue... or not have one at all.

The Best of the Rarities is supposed to be out this week... but Amazon still only lists it as digital only, so it might not have a physical copy - which would be a shame, as it really does sound like something that would be good to keep as a physical copy in the collection.

A preview of the Rarities issue (https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/08/03/idws-transformers-best-of-the-rarities-5-page-preview-462663), includes mini-strips that I've never seen before... so at least if it doesn't see a physical printing, I got to see something new.
The preview also includes the complete contents pages with details of who wrote and drew the stories.

Looks like two Transformers comics are out this week - Shattered Glass #1 (https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/08/30/idws-transformers-shattered-glass-ii-5-page-preview-of-issue-1-464559) and Last Bot Standing #4 (https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/08/30/idws-transformers-last-bot-standing-5-page-preview-of-issue-4-464572).
