I know it's kinda expensive, but I'll be damned if I don't want to toss my money at it anyway. I love wreckers, so maybe I might spring for the Red one.

A cool thought - a tad bit too hardcore for me though xD

The blue label comes with a "team up sketch" by both Guidi and Roche =P~

. That would be awesome but unfortunately its a little steep for my liking. I'll definitely pick up the black label when they go up tomorrow.

(Also I don't need a third copy of Last Stand of the wreckers)

What about internal content, such as the prose stories, Autopedia entries, etc.?

So, no additional stories/prose than what was in the last Hardcover release? Good. I got that version and want to stay happy with it.

In occasion of the release for Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers, our friends over at IDW Limited have sent us a whole lot of artwork to show off, and some insight into how the exclusive lithographs were produced.

Before

IDW Limited wrote:The interesting thing about this edition is, for the Blue Label we had Guido Guidi and Nick Roche team up to draw the two-character sketches. So each guy drew one of the two characters on the sketch plate. These pieces turned out so good that we actually scanned them, then had a colorist go in and color the scans so that we could put that finished product into a hardcover portfolio to go along with the book.

So that means even if you buy a Red Label, you're going to get something very cool. Five litho prints of unpublished Guidi/Roche artwork. And, anyone who pre-orders by 4/30 will get a sixth specially treated litho print to go along with the first five.
