A series of one-issue stories that each turn the spotlight on a particular Generation 1 Transformer.

Transformers: Spotlight

Spotlight issues:
Shockwave | Nightbeat | Hot Rod | Sixshot | Ultra Magnus (collected in first TPB)
Soundwave | Kup | Galvatron | Optimus Prime | Ramjet (likely collected in second TPB)
Blaster | Arcee | Grimlock

The Spotlight series, set within the main IDW storyline, focuses on one particular character each issue. The format allows more free-ranging story settings, with many issues being set on alien worlds, and serve to give a wider view of the overall IDW Transformers universe. The issues set up future story ideas and plot points for the main IDW miniseries; many have eventually tied in directly with the main storyline, with others obviously set to do so in the future.

Most of the issues have prominent co-stars, such as the Dinobots in Shockwave's spotlight, and Omega Supreme in Optimus Prime's story.

There is no absolute chronological order for all of the issues. Some, such as Galvatron and Optimus Prime, are set after specific events in the main story; others like Hot Rod and Nightbeat are not so clearly delineated, having happened an unspecified time ago. Still others (Shockwave, Soundwave) are flashbacks to a specific point in the recent or distant past.
