TL;DR: this post contains links to download the mainline comics in both the original IDW Transformers continuity and the 2019 'IDW2' reboot, as they are currently out of print and it is hard to consistently find complete downloads of them online. You can download individual issues or a full .zip file, from either a MEGA folder or via BitTorrent. Please share if anyone asks about where to get these!
This is an updated masterpost for both of my prior download posts for these comics, as 1) I have updated both folders quite a bit in the past few months to be more complete, and 2) I now have torrent versions if MEGA gives you trouble; I will be seeding these for however long I can, likely at least a few months, possibly indefinitely. (I have tested both and believe that the torrent is probably faster, ftr.)
In short: these are two sets of downloads which contain all the 'mainline' releases for the original and rebooted IDW Transformers comics continuities. I believe after much help from people on here that I have added everything I originally missed or did not correctly upload! I hope! God I hope!!!
IDW1 direct download | IDW1 torrent
IDW2 direct download | IDW2 torrent
These are in .cbz/.cbr format. To read .cbz files, you need to download a comic viewer program that works on your device, there's tons. Best way to read comics digitally by far.
The way these are collected reflects the Humble Bundle they did of a collection of the entire continuity ahead of the IDW2 relaunch. What this means is that everything here is presented in its standard collected edition, as digital trade paperbacks, until the very end; when the HB came out, the last couple trades had not yet been released. These comics (e.g. Unicron, the very end of LL) are therefore individual issues.
I have also added in the Last Stand of the Wrecker deluxe edition extras and the Dark Cybertron deluxe edition extras, alongside the extras in the Drift: Spotlight director's cut edition. Because I love you all.
Unlike IDW1, I do not have the trades for this, only the same individual issues in .cbr you can find in a couple places already. But if it is more convenient for you to download a single thing in one swoop, well. You can!! Saves you the clicking I did, lmao. And it never hurts to keep circulating the tapes, does it.
Over the years getting ahold of these comics has gotten more and more scattershot, and the main remaining direct downloads either don't have easy bulk download options or have them in the 'IDW Collection' format, which is very unhelpful IMO reading order wise, since it mixes the different series together. Most public torrents are now very inactive as well. I'm hoping this will make it a little easier to Just Download Them. I have been asked a few times if it is OK to share my downloads, and the answer is yes (do not be stupid and @ Hasbro or something), share links as much as you want! I have the bandwidth, it's no problem 👍
