Classic Transformers Volume 2

In July of 2008, IDW Publishing continued their quest of reprinting old issues of Marvel's original G1 comic in full-color trade paperback omnibuses. Volume 2 sports issues 17 to 32, with text summaries by Stuart Denyer replacing two issues again featuring the copyrighted character Circuit Breaker.

Notes

In the last panel of "Aerialbots over America!", the image of Circuit Breaker was changed into a silhouette, and her name was removed from a speech bubble. This was presumably done so IDW wouldn't have had to replace the whole issue with a text summary because of one panel.
