Just G1 series? Okay, from Dreamwave there were three volumes of
The War Within set in the early days of the war on Cybertron. The first two volumes were 6 issues each, the last volume was only up to issue 3 when the company folded.
Micromasters was a 4 issue miniseries set between WW and the main DW G1 continuity. There were 3 volumes of the main G1 title, the first 2 being 6 issues each and the last (planned to be ongoing) volume got up to about issue 10. There were also 8 issues of
More Than Meets The Eye, which was a profile book series geared to the DW continuity and a handful of 'zero' issues and one shots.
IDW picked up the license after DW went under, initially publishing story arcs as self contained miniseries before going over to an ongoing, and now 2 ongoing titles. Leading up to the ongoing were
Infiltration (6 issues),
Stormbringer (4 issues),
Escalation (6 issues),
Devastation (6 issues) and
All Hail Megatron (12 issues) as well as various one shots tying into the ongoing story arc under the
Spotlight title. {i]Last Stand of the Wreckers{/i] goes between AHM and the ongoing, and the Bumblebee and Ironhide miniseries concurrent with it.
Both DW and IDW story arcs were their own unique continuities with no real links to each other or what had come before in comics or cartoons.
I was writing a guide several years ago that I fell out of the habit of updating, and some of the info may not have dated as well as it could (IDW changed some of their planned releases), but if you want to take a look it can be found here
new-to-transformers-comics-here-s-a-guide-to-the-various-titles-and-a-faq-t13585.phpBetween both publishers there have also been various non G1 titles over the last decade covering Beast Wars, RiD (in a one shot), Armada, Energon, Cybertron (reprinted from the Club comics), Animated and the Bay movies.
