Are they including the Dreamwave comics in this thing?
And if so have they said which volumes they will be included in?

Yes, the Dreamwave G1 comics are in Volumes 25-32.

Would be nice if they include some of the art for the unpublished issues as bonuses too.

25 - 32, I didn't think Dreamwave produced that much material.

Dreamwave also did all that Armada/Energon series as well... which probably won't be in this publication, as it focuses on Gen1 era or characters.


I am really liking the look of the coloured UK comics though - they aren't a rush job, and are coloured in a style that fits in with the other 80s TFs comics of that time... it makes me really want to read them all over again, they have been really worth the subscription.

Thanks Paul,
That feels like there isn't any more than a standard trade worth of material in each volume. I thought there would be more, the paper stock must be quite thick.

The books vary from volume to volume, and bonus stuff gets added, but content wise they have about 7 x 22 page issues each.

Simon Furman noted some bonus features in the War Within Dark Ages volume covering the incomplete third series. I’ve asked him a follow up to see if the published issues will get reprinted as the tweet suggests not.
