Interesting selection they've included in this one. I presume Volume 3 might contain Monstrosity?

Probably, yes. I'd expect them to just keep them running in this order from here onwards.

Meh. I hate that they broke up Dark Prelude in half. It defeats the whole "Metroplex is tied into these characters" theme the original TPB had going for it (albeit tangentially in Hoist's case). Other than that, seems fair enough.

We had already seen the glorious Sarah Stone cover art for the IDW Publishing Transformers Phase Two Volume 1 hardcover collection a long while back, and we did report on the Amazon listing for the second volume in the series - but we now finally have the cover reveal from the listing, with a sadfaced Bumblebee crowning the front of the book! Refresh your memory on the contents below, now at $44.99, and check out the little bot that could, too.

Being that I have them already. I think I'll still get this. I'm feeling it will be an easier read, and I don't have to finger print my paperbacks.

I love the covers of these collections, and the colours on this one pop so incredibly well too.
Sarah Stone is a fantastic artist, I like her art almost as much as I do EJ Sue's.

I just noticed that Amazon is listing a preorder to Book 3 of Phase 2. There is no cover image, but it does give the release date of March 3, 2016.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/1631405403/ref?tag=seibertron07-20& ... P6XNHH07GB
The description is as follows
"The Lost Light finally reaches the Crystal City while Orion Pax follows a rogue group of Decepticons. Meahwhile, back on Cybertron, violence breaks out in the heart of the city and Prowl looks for someone to blame! Collects "More Than Meets The Eye" #9-13 and the 2012 Annual, "Robots in Disguise" #9-11 and the 2012 Annual, plus the Thundercracker, Bumblebee, and Megatron Spotlight issues."
The price is a bit high, but I have always seen the price go down to around $35 by the time it releases.

I was doing some online shopping today and I noticed that Amazon updated their page for Volume 3 of Phase 2
http://www.amazon.com/dp/1631405403/ref?tag=seibertron07-20& ... P6XNHH07GB
It has changed the release date to slightly earlier (Feb 25, 2016), the page also includes a picture of the cover. I am not sure who is on the cover. I don't really keep up to date on the comics, I mainly just pick up the collections to read.

I just noticed that IDW Collection Phase Two: Volume 4 is up for pre-order at Amazon with a release of September 6, 2016 and price of $44.99. I am not sure how many collect these. I still like this format.
http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-IDW-?tag=seibertron07-20& ... on+phase+2
The description is:
"In the early days of the war on Cybertron, two leaders start down their paths towards destiny. Meanwhile, on current day Cybertron, Megatron is back! Everything Bumblebee and his Autobots have built teeters on the edge of collapse–and Starscream has to make the choice his whole life has been leading to. On the Lost Light, a secret prisoner is confined in the bowels of the ship. Collects the Monstrosity mini-series, Robots in Disguise #12–18, and More Than Meets the Eye #14–16."
And it looks like Prowl is on the front.

Sorry for the double post, I missed that it was covered in another thread. I thought this was the main thread for the phase two collection.

IDW Collection Phase Two Volume 4 is releasing on Wednesday (Oct 19), but Amazon is accepting regular orders for it today. While I was on, I noticed they have preorders up for Volume 5. There is no cover art, but there is a description:
At the dawn of the conflict, battle lines are drawn and sides are set… now legends will be made in PRIMACY. On current Cybertron, Shockwave sets into motion a long-gestating plan but Soundwave, now commander of the Decepticons, confronts him in the ancient Crystal City. On the Lost Light, Rodimus leads his crew to the gates of heaven–or something much worse as larger forces close in and an ancient plan is reaching fruition.
Collects Transformers: Primacy, Transformers: Robots in Disguise #19–22, and Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye #17–22.
The release date is Feb 21, 2017. Though it has been my experience that the release date is often pushed back a month. I get the impression that these collections are not very popular. I don't think they sell out. I have never needed to preorder them. I usually wait until release.

Via fellow Seibertronian ScottyP, we have news about the latest listing for an IDW Collection book up on online retailer Amazon.com. Currently ready to preorder for $34.65, with a scheduled release of 9/26/2017, is the Phase 2 Volume 6 collected volume, including Dark Cybertron and the first Windblade series, and a cover that is just logical. Check it out below!
The end of everything! Shockwave makes a move millions of years in the planning–an ultimate strategy to remake Cybertron and destroy both the Autobots and Deceptions! Only the combined forces of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Rodimus can save their world–but billions of miles and eons of war leave our heroes divided, in “Dark Cybertron.” Plus, Windblade takes the planet by storm–but where did she come from–and what does her secret mean for the future of the Transformers?
Collects Dark Cybertron #1 and Finale, More Than Meets The Eye issues #23–27, Robots In Disguise issues #23–27, and Windblade issues #1–4.

Thanks to a listing on Amazon.com, we can happily bring the news that the Transformers IDW Collection Phase 2 is continuing with a seventh volume! Volume 7 collects Issues #28-34 of More Than Meets The Eye and issues #28-34 of Robots in Disguise. As a quick reminder to our viewers, these are the issues following on from the Dark Cybertron crossover; featuring Megatron coming in command of the Lost Light as an Autobot and Optimus Prime heading to Earth to smooth things over and come to blows with new Decepticon leader Galvatron. Retailing for $50, check out the listing as linked in the image below and tell us what you think in the forums!
