Transformers: Spotlight Omnibus (2015) — [2 volumes] Companion to the above collectively containing the relevant spotlight issues, including the Revelation follow-up and the All Hail Megatron spotlights. Transformers: Saga of the Allspark (2008) — IDW's Reprint of the UK Movie comics from Titan Magazine. From issue #35 onwards, Robots In Disguise has been renamed The Transformers so the comic does not get confused with a toyline and animated series that was released in 2015. When looking to buy downlights or spotlights, it's essential to consider factors like the type of lighting effect you want to achieve, the room's size and purpose, and energy efficiency. LED spotlights are a popular choice due to their long lifespan, energy-saving properties, and versatility of colour temperature and beam angles. An LED spot light bar does not emit any heat, can operate on low voltages, and can handle being switched on and off without shortening their lifespan. Collects: More Than Meets The Eye #35-40, The Transformers (2014 series) #35-38, Punishment one-shot, and Drift – Empire of Stone #1-4

Compared to IDW's previous Transformers output, the debut of the 2019 continuity marked a shift in IDW's approach to Transformers comics as a whole—while IDW's previous Transformers books pinballed between dozens of different miniseries and sometimes several simultaneous ongoings, the rebooted comic is confined to a single ongoing, with one companion miniseries at a time focusing on a different cast of characters set far away from the main story. Perhaps to compensate for this tightly focused storyline, IDW shifted its approach to include multiple self-contained miniseries not set in this continuity, including crossover comics advertising Hasbro's Collaborative and Shattered Glass toylines. Infestation Omnibus (2014) — Collects both Infestation events in full, including the tie-in issues but presumably missing the Classified Secrets of Infestation flyer. Of course, neat-freak Windsweeper is the one to mention what a "mess" Megatron and Starscream are making while they fight. Transformers/Ghostbusters (2019) — Five-issue limited crossover series set in IDW's Ghostbusters comics continuity.

Bonus material includes an article on the beginning of IDW-verse production and several sketches by Figueroa.
