The collection also includes the contents of the first Spotlight collection (Shockwave, Nightbeat, Hot Rod, Sixshot, and Ultra Magnus).

Volume 2
[edit]
ISBN 1600104371 / ISBN 978-1600104374
Volume 2 picks up with Devastation and its followup, the Revelation Spotlights. Devastation is issues #17–22 in the IDW overarching "sub-numbering", and Revelation would have been #23–26 had not the numbering been canceled. The collection also includes the contents of volumes 2 and 3 of the Spotlight collection (Soundwave, Kup, Galvatron, Optimus Prime, Ramjet, Blaster, Arcee, Mirage, Grimlock, and Wheelie). Volume 2 was released June 17, 2009.
Creative team
[edit]Volume 2 was again mostly scripted by Transformer veteran Simon Furman and primarily penciled by E. J. Su. (The Spotlights for Kup, Ramjet and Mirage were written by Nick Roche, Stuart Moore, and George Strayton respectively, while Wheelie's was co-written by Klaus Scherwinski). E. J. Su returned again for most of Devastation (helped out by Nick Roche and Robby Musso), and 2 issues of Revelation (with an issue by Roche and an issue by Dan Khanna with Frank Milkovich and Robert Atkins), and again, a variety of artists drew the Spotlight issues.
Notes
[edit]- These large (12.6" x 8.5") hardcovers collected issues in more or less order of publication and retailed for $100US. They are also almost exclusively written by Simon Furman. Furman would only have one more major arc (Maximum Dinobots) after the material in these 2 volumes. Several of these factors may have contributed to the series being replaced by The IDW Collection series, which was a bit smaller (10.9" x 7.2"), cheaper ($50US), and presented in a "recommended reading order".
