Transformers related items for next week:

 

This is the first I've heard of the existence of a vol.2 Premiere.

 

Galvatron looks brutal.

 

yeah, what exactly is that...

I wonder if they'll collect AHM 1-16 plus the relevant spotlights into an Omnibus...

 

Is this Galvy as bad-arse as he appears to be?

 

Here's what's in the Ultimate Hardcover:

Simon Furman, Klaus Scherwinski, Nick Roche (w) o E.J. Su, Nick Roche, Klaus Scherwinski, Dan Khanna (a) o Su (c)

I shouldn't be at this point, but I seriusly am always amazed at how much IDW gouges their prices. the Marvel Wolverine Omnibus (for example) is more than DOUBLE the page count (1066) for the same price.

I realize IDW is smaller and has to charge more then say Marvel and DC, but more then double? (by my quick calculations, 488 divided by 22 pages per issue minus cover reprints probably equals about 20 issues in this collection, which equals 80 dollars worth of material at IDWs $4 cover price...) $75/80 would be a more appropriate pricepoint IMHO.

 

That looks really really cool!!

 

$100 for page after page of lifeless backgrounds and stories that go no where? No thank you. It looks nice and I'm glad those who want it will be able to get it.

 

Any reason it doesn't include Maximum Dinobots as well? For the price, I don't think wanting MD is asking too much...

 

Is there some reason I can't find those items listed anywhere in here?
