New cover art (of Megatron) is provided by E. J. Su.

Notes
- The placement of Nightbeat's Spotlight issue is odd, as it takes place after Optimus Prime has arrived at (or at least is made aware of) Earth, as he did (and was) at the conclusions of Infiltration and Stormbringer.
- At the same time, Spotlight: Blurr and Spotlight: Cliffjumper (being the 20th and 23rd Spotlight issues, respectively) are placed immensely early, considering their characters don't enter the fray until all the way in All Hail Megatron. However, the argument could be made that these are "chronological" placements given that Spotlight: Blurr is a flashback and Spotlight: Cliffjumper is entirely vague in it's setting.
- Furthermore, The IDW Collection continued to disregard the release schedule of the Spotlight series rather consistently down the line, which resulted in more... shall we say, questionable choices.
- The "Red Label" special edition was released on June 19, 2013. More information is available here.
