The Transformers: The IDW Collection

The Transformers: The IDW Collection Volume One

Beginning in 2010, IDW Publishing began a series of hardcovers titled The Transformers: The IDW Collection, which aimed to reprint the IDW Transformers stories in a "suggested reading order" up through The Transformers: All Hail Megatron and beyond. However, there have been a few cases of some questionable placements for certain stories, but the overall order is manageable.

Volumes 1–8 cover the IDW-verse up through the end of 2009 ongoing series. Phase Two begins with "The Death of Optimus Prime" one-shot and carries over into the More than Meets the Eye and Robots in Disguise ongoings.

For each volume (1–8), E. J. Su provides brand new cover art of a specific character that plays a notable role in certain comic stories featured in each volume. The covers for Phase Two are provided by Sarah Stone and Marcelo Matere.

In 2016, softcover Compendium editions, containing two volumes each, began hitting the shelves.
