Chris Ryall has confirmed that IDW will be producing a Megatron Origin 4-part mini-series later this year on the IDW's
forums.
"Quote (Ironhide @ Dec. 24 2006,12:21)
In 2005 we had 1 issue from IDW-verse: Infiltration #0
In 2006 we had 16 issues from IDW-verse:
Infilitration 1-6, Stormbringer 1-4, Spotlight 1-4, Escalation 1-2.
In 2007 we'll have:
Escalation 3-6 (4 issues)
Spotlight 5-7 (3 issues: Ultra Magnus, Soundwave, Kup)
"Megatron's Origin" 1-4 (4 issues)
That's 11 issues + probably there will be more like Devastation & Spotlights
Will Devastation start in september after Megatron's Origin or maybe other date?? And if this other date, then when??
Will Devastation be 6-issues mini-series like Escalation??
What will be the name of "Megatron's Origin" Mini-series??
Do you plan something more for IDW-verse in 2007??
And I don't count Devastation, Spotlights, Escalation & megatrons' origin
Simple answer YES or NO? ;)
Ryall: Devastation's set to be 6 issues.
Megatron: Precursor is 4 issues.
And yes, of course much more is planned beyond those."
"Quote (DanielW @ Dec. 24 2006,3:36)
Is Megatron: Precusor the Spotlight miniseries you hinted at previous?
And this infamous "character with an "o" in his name" an Autobot, Decepticon or Other?
Ryall: Yes, and yes."
"Quote (WindChargerNut @ Dec. 25 2006,6:19)
Will the Megatron mini include any existing characters? I'm not asking for names here but if you give any that's a cool bonus.
Ryall: But of course. Here's one: Starscream. But not exactly as you'd expect."Thanks to

Whilst popping into my
old work and doing some light shopping in Staines today, I stopped by
Woolworths to see if they had Cybertron Quickmix in stock. After
hunting around I realised that I could not find any Transformers at
all, that was until I noticed the empty shelves marked for
Transformers Cybertron Deluxe and Voyager figures. Yes they had sold
out! Though disappointed by not being able to find Quickmix I was
shocked and pleased that they must have sold so well. All of the
other toys were at normal levels. I'm now interested to see what
toys replace the empty spaces, more Cybertron cases or cases of
Transformers Classics. I'm not working in Staines anymore but will
make sure to travel there to. Though this sales may not be
indicative of all Woolworths stores, its certainly pleasing to see
the toys go. The only toys in recent years I recall flying of the
shelves in that store were the He-man toys, especially in the 3-2
sales where they often cleared the shelves each week.
