Afair it's a collection of Escalation, Stormbringer, Infiltration and the first six Spotlights. I think there was another story arc in it too, but I can't remember.

Check out IDW's homepage, it is stated there.

Exact listing is Infiltration 0-6, Stormbringer 1-4, Escalation 1-6 and Spotlight 1-5. Not sure what in the way of cover art or other features (character designs and so on) are meant to be going in there. As it's the first ubercollection I'm actually a little disappointed that Origin isn't in the front of the book :-(

Damn! I was hoping that War Within Vol. 1&2 would be in here also. That would have clinched it for me.

I am anxious to get this book.

Different continuities. This is basicly all of the IDWverse that's already been put out as TPBs. If there had ever been a finish to the DW G1 then a similar style collection with WW in the front would have been cool. Might have had to live without Micromasters for the sake of space though...

Thanks for sharing this Optimist_Prime. I never thought there was a comprehensive hard cover collection of TF comics. Pretty pricey though.

Infiltration #0?! Now way, it's a #0 they're not soposed to be reprinted, if they do, I'll be seriously pissed!

Hate to burst your bubble, but they're been reprinting it since the first time Infiltration came out on trade. They consider it a part of the arc.

Odd choise for a cover, though. Thunderwing? I think art of Optimus Prime and Megatron would have been more fitting, in this case. Still, it's a pretty impressive collection. If it wasn't crazy expensive and I didn't already have all but one of the comics reprinted in there, I'd get it.
