    Whoa, was the world exactly asking for a reprint in 3D even if it was by Don Figueroa. Or is this IDW's answer to the fact that they can't get him to do any more work?

    There have been two released so far, each compiling 5 Spotlight stories.
    They often do compilations in lots of 6 with the various ongoing series, probably to match up with the 6-issue structure (and compilations) of their mini-series, so it sounds a little 'cheap' only getting 5 in the Spotlight compilations.

    Anyway, there is a third Spotlight compilation that was just listed in Previews in July, which means it should be out some time in September.

    Just looking it up, these are the Spotlights so far released:
    (note - IDW didn't actually number the issues, so that it didn't put off people buying a current issue thinking it was part of a continueous series. Each ties into their other TFs series and mini-series, but can stand alone as a one-off story)
    (Compilation 1 - Out May 2007)
    1 - Shockwave
    2 - Nightbeat
    3 - Hot Rod
    4 - Sixshot
    5 - Ultra Magnus
    (Compilation 2 - Out Feb 2008)
    6 - Soundwave
    7 - Kup
    8 - Galvatron
    9 - Optimus Prime
    10 - Ramjet
    (Compilation 3 - Sept 2008)
    11 - Blaster
    12 - Arcee
    13 - Mirage
    14 - Grimlock
    15 - Wheelie
    (Compilation 4? - may only comprise the 4 issues that make up the 'Revelations' story arc)
    16 - Cyclonus
    17 - Hardhead
    18 - Doubledealer
    19 - Sideswipe
    (future known Spotlight, that might be part of the above 4 in their compilation.
    20 - Blurr

    I'm thinking the Revelations Spotlights will be kept as a 4 parter, but not sure if it will be made as a trade in the name "Spotlight collection #4" or "Revelations".

    I'm liking the idea of the 3D comic, but Prime would not have been my first choice for 3D-ing.

    But the Spotlight issues are each longer than a regular issue, so the total page count between 6 issues of Escalation and 5 issues of Spotlights is pretty much the same.

    Autobreadticon, I might be selling my copies of the first two Spotlight collections if you're interested in them?

    I never knew the Spotlights had more pages in them. Most go back and count! Maybe that's why the read better...

    Shane McCarthy's Blog has just a touch more info on Spotlight: Blurr.

    looks like it is set before the Great War in Cybertron's Golden Age. Nice to see the flipside of Cybertron in contrast to the Megatron: Origins series.

    Even back then, I hope Blurr still spoke at a million words a minute...
