It's not just the recently announced
War's End title that will be available in February from IDW Publishing, as another month brings another round of solicitations for the ongoing
Transformers and
Beast Wars titles as well. The fifth hardcover collection of the 2019 relaunch series is also solicited here, but be aware this is an advance solicitation for a
May 2022 release for that particular book.
Also note that oddly,
none of the covers for any of these titles were available except for the previously published
War's End cover images. This may be a quirk of the short turnaround time since the last round of solicits, or maybe Seibertron.com isn't the only press outlet totally in the dark right now when it comes to accessing IDW's media assets.
Anyhow, check out all of the solicitation information below, and to support any of these series ask your local comic shop how to order copies of all these issues in advance.

The bold new vision of the Transformers universe continues! The war that will define Cybertron sees Autobots and Decepticons alike face challenges like never before.
The war grows desperate for Optimus Prime's Autobots. With Energon and morale running low, they seize on a dangerous plan to boost Jumpstream's teleportation abilities. Meanwhile, Bumblebee enters a criminal alliance and Megatron learns that his former mentor holds an artifact that could be the key to the Decepticons' victory.
Next, when a criminal group known as Mayhem threatens the Speedia 500, the biggest race in the universe, the Wreckers-a covert ops squad-show up to keep the peace. But can they maintain their covers in front of the cameras?
Then, the fall of the tether that anchored Cybertron's moon was a critical step on the road to war, and the ancient Titan Vigilem caused it. Now the only other active Titan, Lodestar, and her cityspeaker, Lightbright, must hunt him down! And finally, when Starscream follows rumors of a disembodied spark in the desert, what he finds will horrify and rattle him to his core!
