I was pimping out the >>>Transformers/Revolution Humble Bundle<<< on Facebook when a friend asked me about the reading order of the metric fuckton of comics contained within. I rattled off a couple of miniseries, realised exactly what I was attempting to do over Facebook chat, had a hysterical little laugh, and gave up. Then I did what needed to be done. So here you have it, a reading guide to the entire Transformers IDW continuity thus far.

If you’re considering getting into Transformers comics please don’t be scared or overwhelmed by the sheer amount of comics in this continuity! You by no means need to read them all! I’ve split the continuity up into different eras that demarcate changes in creative teams and/or status quo, which act as good jumping on points, but even then you don’t need to read everything within a particular era. If you want advice on which comics you should read, hit me up and we can have a chat. I might not get back to you right away but I will get back to you.

I’ve ordered the comics in terms of chronology, but some of them occur concurrently, so I’ve tried to figure out and note at what point each comic takes place relative to one another.

Spotlights are one-shots that focus on a particular Transformer and take place all over the timeline. I’ve tried to slot them into when they seem to take place, rather than when they were published.

If anyone notices any errors, please tell me.
