    Just got the almanac and its a work of beauty. Things I especially appreciate are:
    *Explaining Cybertronian measurements
    *The pages of human background characters
    *The early sketches from the aborted Hero franchise
    *Including the comic only stories with the cartoon episodes in chronological order
    *Vector Prime's notes on this universe's Optimus Prime.

    Yes, yes, yes, and yes. They all have their own sections.

    Amazon's being really weird about it, I just ordered mine and it said it would take (at least) a month. Go figure.

    Pretty sure the same thing happened when I ordered one of the Ark volumes from them. It only took about a week for them to ship it, rather than the stated 1-2 months.

    I hope that's the case. Figures the first time I pre-order something from them, there's a(n) (alleged) one month waiting list.

    im a little ticked off. :mad  ive been to 6 book stores in the san diego aria. and all of them say this book isnt supposed 2 come out until mid September! but ive seen people who bought it the day it came out! i suppose i might half 2 resort to amazon.. but any time i order something from there, it alwase showes up at the very least, 4 or 5 days late. :banghead: 

    but i do suppose it is worth it. even if it dosnt cover season 3, it still looks like a must have book.

    According to Jim S, Animated might have a fourth season in the panels of IDW if the sales are great for this book.

    It was only released to comic shops I believe. That's where everybody seem to be getting their copies.

    Yeah. This was talked about at BotCon. Animated is only dead show wise. Hasbro plans to continue it in other medias, and IDW wants to give the comic another shot.

    Eh, I was actually the one who asked that question at Botcon. They said they were engaged in "early talks" with Hasbro about an Animated comic. I wouldn't call those concrete plans, though it certainly is a step in the right direction, and good sales of the Allspark Almanac would be another step.

    Well, as I said, Hasbro is continuing Animated in other medias (Toys), and IDW wants to do another comic. What I said is perfectly fine.
