Contents

This oversized one-shot contains three ten-page stories, each one representing one of IDW's three regular Transformers books:

• "Choose Me", by Mairghread Scott and Corin Howell (Windblade/Till All Are One)
• "Silent Light", by James Roberts and Kotteri (More than Meets the Eye)
• "The Thirteenth Day of Christmas", by John Barber and Josh Burcham (The Transformers)

See individual articles for details.

Notes

• Despite having stories that tie in with three different ongoing series, none of those series' collections include content from the Holiday Special. However, all three stories would later be collected as part of the Revolution: Transformers TPB, Hachette's Transformers: The Definitive G1 Collection (Volume 69: Sins of the Wreckers), and The IDW Collection Phase Two: Volume 10. See below under Collections.
