IDW's Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall dropped a little information regarding their post "Chaos" Transformers plans in an interview at CBR. He states there will be a relaunch of two new Transformers titles. To read the interview in it's entirety click here.

This was all put into place by [former editor] Andy Schmidt, before he left a few weeks ago. But it’s basically building to big event called “Chaos,” which is the biweekly thing we’re doing through the end of the year, and then out of that is a relaunch of two new “Transformers” titles, and there’s very important reasons in the Transformers universe why these titles are becoming two, how they’re splitting and what’s going to happen from there. It’s a big that’s sort of rocking the whole Transformers status quo and shaking things up to a big degree.

I never "subscribed" to a comic shop or otherwise. I usually just buy an issue here or there or just buy a TPB later. Things like these two new releases that we don't know of yet, if you have a comic shop you always go to, do they automatically get every TF comic for you if you ask? and how many are there? These 2, plus ongoing... are they still doing spotlights? Could that be one of the relaunches?

I hope they do another Evolutions... or am I totally misunderstanding "relaunch" ?

2 x Transformers comics to be relaunched eh!
Bets on that one of them is the continuation of the Marvel run carrying on with # 81 reboot (bring back Andy Wildman

)?
Never interested in the Beast Era stuff, its just not what Transformers where about?

No to the recent Animated stuff, for kids!

Maybe an ongoing Prime series! :APPLAUSE:

A comic shop I go to out of town will basically order any comic I ask for at no extra charge, they just have it sent to them with their usual shipment. Perhaps all you'll have to do is make an arrangement with the owner and they'll make sure to have some copies of whatever you want, so long as their provider offers IDW Transformers. (Mine uses Daimond Comics and they get most or all the TF issues.) On the other hand, it's all up to how understanding the owner and employees are, I can't speak for other comic shops as I have little experience going any place else.
