Considering those are episodes 1-3 of Season 1 I bloody well hope so.

Aspect ratio: 1.78:1 - WIDESCREEN!!! That's enough of a reason to make me double-dip on it instead of just going for season 3.
And I wonder if "Transform and Roll Out" will be included in its original movie format (as aired on Cartoon Network) or in its individual three-episode format (as aired on the Hub).

I was just wondering, because Transform and Roll Out was released only as a feature-length animated movie and wasn't part of the season 1 set previously released.
Posted by Sabrblade on February 11th, 2014 @ 6:44am CST
Something in our favor of it being included is how the widescreen version aired on the Hub in episode form rather than in movie form, so these releases being in widescreen could give us the series opener in its three-part episode version.Rodimus Prime wrote:Dead Metal wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:Will the complete set include the 3-part beginning story "Transform and Roll Out?"

I'm in Ottawa and the weirdest thing happened. Saw this set at Wal-mart but didn't have any cash on me so I decided to pick it up a couple of days later. In that time it seems to have completely disappeared from all stores. I have tried EVERYWHERE and have not seen one single copy. I just find it difficult to believe this would sell out in two days. Experience has taught me that this sort of stuff is not a real fast mover around these parts.

The Allspark Almanac is a comprehensive, one-of-a-kind atlas to the amazing 2008 animated series universe. Discover behind-the-scenes secrets directly from the show's creators. This volume is packed with over 400-pages of full-color bios, character models, episode summaries, interviews, and more. Collects both original volumes into one book!
Posted by Bumblevivisector on August 24th, 2014 @ 10:10am CDT
Much more concerned about that delayed package-art book though. Gotta' have that.
Posted by Hyre on August 24th, 2014 @ 10:51am CDT
"Howdy! I didn't come up with the title, which itself may change between now and publication. I'd love to be able to include the Fun Publications material in the collected volume. Right now that question isn't settled. My editors may want to keep it to just V1 and V2 to keep things simple. If you're interested in having everything in one place, you might write to IDW and let them know, either directly to their editorial staff or by a post on their forums.
Thank you for your warm wishes and I hope you're happy with the combined volume, whatever the final decision about contents is.
Cheers,
Jim"
I don't know if it's already set in stone one way or another, but I plan on doing my part to get those pages into the book!

It looks like The Complete AllSpark Almanac is just three short weeks away, with an ETA of February 18th at fine comic book stores everywhere. (Probably hitting Amazon shortly thereafter, available for preorder now.) Here's Marcelo Matere's beautiful cover for the book, with excellent Josh Perez colors. (Josh also lent his talents to some of the new bonus material inside the book.)
For those of you who missed our Radio Free Cybertron interview, this is going to be a massive, 472 page tome that combines The AllSpark Almanac, The AllSpark Almanac II, The AllSpark Almanac Addenda we put together for the Transformers Collectors' Club, and ten-ish pages of new content teasing more of what Season 3.5 might look like. We worked closely with Derrick Wyatt to ensure that the book was as close to 100% canon as possible, with all new material carefully vetted (and a bit of old material tweaked or recontextualized.) I hope that you all get a big kick out of this one. V1 and V2 are insanely hard to find and fetch ridiculous prices on the secondary market, so it's very nice to get this material back in print where everyone can get a copy.

Yup it was cool
I would of loved to see Sideswipe and Cheetor have some spin off episodes on cybertron while Ironhide and Jazz joined Earth's group.

If the second Almanac's coverage of season 4 is anything to go by, it'll predominately be text talking about the season's episodes with very few images of production art and concept sketches.Duke of Luns wrote:Forgot all about this. I definitely have to pick this one up, cause I want to see what would have happened in Season 4.
Still, the text in the second Almanac was very much worth a read, so any further text we get in this one should be great too.

How is it unfair? It both gives those who missed the first two another chance to get them, and gives those who did get the first two incentive to get this one, appealing to both audiences and enhancing the existing collection with a third book.leokearon wrote:So it has new material that wasn't in the original versions that is unfair.

It's unfair for the people who already bought the original books as it means they would have to buy the same books twice just to access the new material. They should have just released the original two books together and put the rest in a separate comic/book.
