    • This thing is nothing but pure AWESOMENESS. From the ...
This thing is nothing but pure AWESOMENESS. From the art to the stories to the atmosphere, all of it just screams QUALITY. The most compelling story, I found in this series was Shockwave. I know from Transformers Prime and the original G1 Cartoon that Shockwave was a cold, detached, and calculating Decepticon, but his story here gives you a new reason to fear him. He has this ability to make anger and rage sound even more terrifying. His thought process only makes this all the more interesting. Megatron's story is also quite fascinating, and it gives you a new reason to sympathize with his reasons as to why he believes in violence and overthrowing the caste system on Cybertron. Even if the methods are not agreeable, you understand exactly where he's coming from as a former slave turned revolutionary. Those are just two stories. GO READ THEM. ... show more

    • High quality book and makes a great gift for Transformer fans
The first thing I noticed about this book is the high production quality. The hardcover is thick and sturdy with a build in ribbon book mark. The pages are thick, smooth and glossy. The spine binding is solid. I also like how IDW presented the stories in a reading order. The introduction did say that this is their preferred reading order. Since I have not read of Transformer comics since Marvel's original run in the 80s, I had no idea about this series so having a reading order is a definite plus. The art is fantastic and so far, my favorite is Spotlight: Shockwave which features Shockwave and the Dinobots (my favorite characters). It is on the pricey but the quality and staying power of the book is worth it. ... show more

I had been told ahead of time that these IDW collected editions were not the best transformers stories and that I should stick with the more recent offerings. Well, I bought this anyways and I dont regret it one bit. Megatron is at his best in this volume. I loved it. On top of that, the book is beautifully bound with nice thick heavy duty covers and is printed on thick glossy paper that does the fantastic artwork justice. ... show more

    • Great Stories
I was a little bit lost in the action. I had not read a Transformers comic in many years. I grew up with the original Marvel series. I had to remind myself that these are all new stories and begin with a clean slate. This was hard to do. However, I very much enjoyed reading this collection. I recommend this series to all TF fans. I plan to eventually purchase the entire series. Well done! ... show more

    • Definitive IDW collection at awesome value for money!
IDW took over the rights to Transformers in 2005 after Dreamwave filed for bankruptcy. Whilst the comics since then have oftentimes been variable in quality, the fact that the company has carried the torch and kept fans supplied with an ongoing story cannot be denied. I was rapt when IDW announced production of the Collection volumes, and even more impressed when I got the product in hand. The volume is beautifully packaged, with gloss over the spine and matte surfacing over the cover art. IDW will be the first to state that the comics are not bound in strict chronological order, but rather in an order where the story can be best appreciated - and I must say it's hard to disagree with the choice so far. Volume 1 is an excellent compilation of Megatron Origin, six Spotlights, and Infiltration. It kicks of the IDW Collection series with a bang, and with value for money that is almost impossible to beat (especially coming form Australia!!). For those who have not gotten into Transformers IDW, there is simply no better way to start! Whilst individual comic reviews can be found elsewhere, for completeness here is my take on those included here (Both numbers out of 10, first # Art, second # Story): Megatron Origin - 7/9 Infiltration - 7/9 Spotlights: Blurr - 8/7 Cliffjumper - 8/8 Shockwave - 7/6 Nightbeat - 5/6 Hot Rod - 7/8 Soundwave - 7/7 ... show more

    • Truly amazing and intense. Dark and mysterious, it has become my favorite universe of Transformers so far!
The stories are super fantastic and filled with a lot of interesting things and feels you don't get from the cartoons. This definitely has a Generation One feel to it! I feel that the stories are much darker than any tv show I have ever seen from transformers. I enjoyed it so much I have decided to buy the entire series to this! My favorite are obviously the main plot stories, but I also enjoyed the Spotlight:Nightbeat. He's gotta be a favorite now! His story was so intense for me and the dialog was incredible. It made me feel like I was reading a crime novel! It had some mystery and an urge to know more about what happened to him. If you're an old G1 fan like I am and miss those old characters, this is the book series to get! Don't pass this one up! ... show more
