fudgecrumpet wrote: Youve not mentioned the Best op vs meg battles reprint tpb, the cover collections, the ark character models book, the tf cybertron prequel tpb, the animated movie adaptation, and the live action prequel and movie adaptation. I know theyre nowt to do with continuity, but its nice to have a complete list.

Updated (and slightly rejigged) accordingly ...

Grimbo,

I just read "Infiltration" and "Escalation" yesterday - but I do not know what is the order of other comic books to read. What I mean is, what comes after Escalation?

• Infiltration
• Stormbringer
• Escalation

The War Within Volume 2: The Dark Ages

would that happen to be #6-10 in one vlume of the war within series

and is there fifteen in total?

Does Stormbringer have to be read before Escalation? I ask because I read escalation after infiltration and it made perfect sense. Where can I find what order those (and the other comics) are to be read in?

thnx
