I'll buy it if it's black and white or if the -Ation books have been completely recolored. At that price and page count, I'm hoping for black and white.
Eh, I'd class things like Stormbringer and Megatron: Origin more as side-stories. Infiltration, Escalation, Devastation, and Revelation all form a cohesive story that require linear reading (more so the first three, however); one could easily skip Stormbringer and M:O and not miss much plot-wise other than "Thunderwing and Bludgeon exist" and "Megatron kills the Senate".
Price is $29.99. $21.34 is the current amazon price, which will fluctuate. If someone pre-orders, they automatically get the book for the lowest the price gets between now and release.
Not a fan of softcovers, but if they have all the covers (not likely) I might bite. Updated with Cover:
The actual price will be $29.99. Eh...that's not as good as the previous price. Maybe I'll still consider getting it?
