IDW's Generation 1 comic series is a mishmash of mini-series, maxi-series, and stand-alones. Doggedly eschewing any kind of rational numbering schema for years, IDW has done no favors for the fan who wants to catch up on or revisit the series. Nor have they done the wiki any favors, since our normal method of giving each issue a "Previous" and "Next" navigation based on straight numbering only works within the limited scope of each mini. The nav currently links most of the minis together, but it misses a couple of those and all of the Spotlights.
So I've compiled a recommended-reading-order list that I would like to see incorporated into the wiki in some fashion. Ideally, it would be a supplementary navigation that a reader could handily click through from page to page. Or it could be just a page like this one, but "real." Or it could stay a mere sandbox if the subjectivity of it all becomes too controversial... but I figured it was worth sharing.
Anyway, here's the list. I've documented my rationales on the Talk page.
- Infiltration
- Spotlight: Shockwave
- Stormbringer
- Spotlight: Nightbeat
- Spotlight: Hot Rod
- Spotlight: Sixshot
- Spotlight: Ultra Magnus
- Spotlight: Soundwave
- Spotlight: Kup
- Escalation #1-2
- New Avengers / Transformers
- Escalation #3-6
- Spotlight: Galvatron
- Spotlight: Optimus Prime
- Spotlight: Ramjet
- Spotlight: Blaster
- Devastation #1-4
- Spotlight: Arcee
- Devastation #5-6
- Spotlight: Grimlock
- Revelation
- Maximum Dinobots
- Megatron Origin
- Spotlight: Blurr
- Spotlight: Cliffjumper
- Spotlight: Mirage
- Spotlight: Drift
- Spotlight: Metroplex
- All Hail Megatron #1-3
- Spotlight: Jazz
- All Hail Megatron #4-16
- Spotlight: Wheelie
