With the announcement and confirmation of Transformers Revelations and Transformers: All Hail Megatron last month, also came a bit of confusion. All Hail Megatron is set 1 year after Revelations and that there is an 8 issues worth of material set between the series. It isn’t known if it is one 8 issue series or a couple of series.

In is comments section, Simon Furman has teased the next title, Transformers Maximum. What does this mean, we don’t know. It could be the rumoured The 13 series or something new.

Using IDW’s numbering for the series, here is how it is set out:

Inflitration – #0-6
Stormbringer – #7-10
Escalation – #11-16
Devastation – #17-22
Revelation – #23-26
Unknown Series (Maximum?) – #27-34
