I'm not 100% sure but I remember someone mentioning in this site saying that G2 #0 was actually reprinted in the back of G2 #2 in the second story, A few G2 issues had 2 stories in them.

Maybe I should start a new thread but might as well ask here first. What about an order for all the new stuff within the last several years? My friend works at the local comic shop and I was gonna go there on a spree and get all TF stuff in stock lol. But Id like to know the order for all the new series as well.

Ive found lists on tfwiki, wikipedia, etc. but Id like to hear from someone who actually read them all so far. I prefer to read things in the order they were released anyway, not the order someone else thinks is best for timeline sake.

Well for IDW:
Infiltration 0-6
Stormbringer 1-4
Sptlight: Nightbeat, Ultra Magnus, Shockwave, Sixshot, Hotrod
Escalation 1-6
Spotlight: Soundwave, Kup, Galvatron,Optimus Prime

As far as the Original Marvel run Goes I would also Recommend the Transformers UK Marvel comics they gave alot more depth to the first 50 issues of the US run because it was weekly VS monthly so they needed more filler. Titan books published collections of the more important stories like Target: 2006, Fallen Angel, Legacy of Unicron, City of Fear, Prey, Dinobot Hunt,Second Generation (not Generation 2), and Time Wars

You know, I have been spending some time http://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Transformers ... l_comic%29 and they are saying that the UK marvel Transformers reprinted the Marvel comics as well as adding some of there own stories that fit into the continuity. If you go through the time line of the us marvel books on this wiki site they insert the marvel books where they fit.

Another site I read says that the UK books are taking place in another world/reality.

Its cool to learn this stuff, but it is also very frustrating. I just want to find something that says "Read them in this order" and be done with it. But that would be to easy I guess.

There will always be different orders to consider. I just want to know the original release dates on everything. I prefer to read my comics in the order they were released at retail. That way I'm reading it like the original buyers read it.

Its like Star Wars. Some people Episode 4 first and some watch Episode 1 first. I always watch the original trilogy first.

And speaking of trilogies, when The Hobbit comes out I will always watch LotR first then The Hobbit.
