All the War Within characters? Well, if Hasbro keep doing the 6" guys at a rate of about four figures per quarter, they should be done by about 2015

Well, even though I already have the complete WWI series, it couldn't hurt to pick this up. And silly me, I thought Escalation #5 was already out. Just one of thoe stupid moments................

If they are re-releasing War Within are they going to now finish vol.3?

Meg's head and face look terrible on the Escalation cover.

Having been out of the loop on IDW TF and already having all of War Within, I'm more interested in that "Zombies VS. Robots" series. I like how rough and unfinished the art looks, almost like a storyboard.

Nice... I missed out on all the recent comics, so it will be cool to get WWi in a TPB form. Do they have a TPB for Infiltration yet?

Wow! Its seems like forever since Op ans Megs last went at it on the page. Bout time I was getting pretty bored with IDW's G1 comic pacing.
Its been a little slow for me and Im already tired of the humans. More action please.

Just read Escalation no. 5. Remember that Prime exists in three parts - the tractor, Roller and the trailer, so if one or two die, the other one or two might survive.

I was thinking Starscream myself.

Loved the ending (SPOILERS)!!!!

We knew it would happen but the dinobots and Shockwave are being dug up!! Yay. They have themselves quite a collection of bots when they get them, and then Sunstreaker, and Lazerbeak.

Will Prime die? Doubtful, but Megatron sure did hand him a lot of Ore-13 @$$ kickin'!

Watching Megs and Prime in this issue made me really want my MP Megs...NOW!

Quite some time ago:
Infiltration TPB at IDW's online store.
The have both the regular full size and full color format as well as the pocketbook size b&w 'manga' edition. (Cheaper at $10.99)

I put 'manga' between apostrophs because it's not really a true manga but simply greyscaled color art from Infiltration.
