Contents

• The Transformers: Stormbringer #1–4
• The Transformers: Escalation #1–6
• The Transformers: Spotlight: Sixshot

• The Transformers: Spotlight: Ultra Magnus
• The Transformers: Spotlight: Kup
• The Transformers: Spotlight: Mirage
• The Transformers: Spotlight: Optimus Prime

Notes

• Like in Volume One, the Spotlight placements aren't 100% ideal. Ramjet's story overlaps segments of Escalation, so placing it right after that arc may have been preferable.
• Perhaps even more out of place is Ultra Magnus's Spotlight, which takes place approximately just before Escalation#1, as in it Optimus Prime is seen receiving the very same transmission Magnus sent in the former.
• The "Red Label" special edition was released on November 13, 2013. More information is available here.
