During the IDW Botcon panel the next book from Jim Sorenson and Bill Forster was announced as Legacy: The Box Art of the Transformers. As the name suggests, the book will the box art that was used with the toys, bringing together material from Japan, the US and, with luck, Europe.
Here's Jim to tell you more
"Legacy: The Box Art of The Transformers is going to be something special. I've been working on it for a while now, and I'm really amazingly pleased with how well it is going. We've been working with Hasbro, Part One (the parent company of eHobby), and numerous private collectors to pull together the definitive coffee table book of Transformers packaging art.
A lot of things, like the date and the page count, are still up in the air. However, here's what has already been decided on:
1: The scope will be G1 and G2. No Beast Wars or beyond. We'll be covering every year in the US, as well as the entire Japanese set of releases. It's possible that we might get Europe in too, if we can find the material. That remains to be seen.
2: The extras will be substantial. We're talking essays and interviews with the original artists, modern repaints of vintage artwork (think eHobby exclusives), unused box art, production sketches for box art and more.
3: In terms of scale, we've got more then 300 images in hand, and more than 150 additional pieces pledged. I'd like to get those numbers up, so if you are a collector of the originals, drop me a line!"

The Auto Assembly team have issued the following press release
AUTO ASSEMBLY 2012 IMPORTANT GOODIE BAG UPDATE
It is with great sadness that we are forced to announce a change to the advertised Auto Assembly 2012 attendee goodie bags. This change will affect every attendee who is eligible to receive a goodie bag, so it would be most appreciated if we could please have your attention for just a moment.
It had been our intention to include a free IDW Transformers comic within every goodie bag this year. This comic was to be an exclusive variant cover of Regeneration One Issue 81. The comic was going to be limited to a print run of just 1,000 copies and only made available at Auto Assembly and Auto Assembly Europe. (Long term fans will remember that we also had exclusive IDW comics in 2009 and 2010).
The cover was going to use 1980's style artwork, drawn by marvel Transformers artist Jeff Anderson, with colours by Kris Carter and was intended to be a tribute to the Marvel UK run featuring a special "corner box" with art by Nick Roche. As an homage to the Marvel UK series, which culminated in issue 332, our plan was to use dual numbers on the front of the comic, meaning it would have been both issue 81 and issue 333. A true exclusive for our attendees.
Martin Fisher from the Auto Assembly team worked very hard to make the comic a reality, as did IDW; we therefore wish to extend our sincere thanks both to Martin and to IDW editor John Barber, who took time out of his busy schedule to try and make the exclusive comic a success for our attendees. John's work is massively appreciated and it should be noted that he and IDW did everything in their power to bring issue 333 to life. We are truly grateful for their support.
Sadly, the comic was not to be. At the 11th hour, with our artists poised to start work on the new cover, the issue was vetoed, seemingly without any explanation by the license holders, Hasbro US.
Obviously this has come as a great disappointment to ourselves and no doubt, will be to our attendees as well. We would like to explain why the decision was taken but sadly, no explanation has been given to us other than that Hasbro US do not at this time wish for IDW to produce another Auto Assembly comic. Sadly, it is our understanding that IDW themselves have not been presented with a firm reason either.
On behalf of the entire Auto Assembly committee, we are truly sorry that we are not able to provide you, our attendees, with the exclusive IDW comic which you had been promised. However, we are sure our attendees will appreciate that sadly, this issue is completely beyond the control of both Auto Assembly and IDW, who worked together in good faith before the plans were stopped. We are sure there is probably a very simple reason for the decision made by Hasbro US and if we receive further explanation from them we will of course share it with you.
So, the question now is, were does this leave your goodie bags? Well, as sad as we are, we absolutely refuse to leave our attendees disappointed - we promised you a comic and we are still going to deliver on that promise!
Obviously we are not able to produce an official comic for the reasons outlined above, but that gives us a great deal of flexibility. So rather than simply giving you an exclusive cover, we are going to give you a completely new full colour comic! This will be included in all eligible goodie bags, free of charge.
Jeff Anderson will still be providing the cover artwork for this new comic and Kris Carter too is adamant that attendees should receive a first class product and so, as well as providing cover colours, Kris has begun writing an exclusive 6 page comic script for us. But that's not all you will receive in this issue. Our current plan, ambitious as it may be so close to our print deadline, is to give you an issue which includes at least three different comic stories, created by collaborations between professional comic creative talent and fans alike. The response we have had from our artists is both fantastic and humbling; they are truly lighting our darkest hour by putting the "Assembly" into Auto Assembly!
In addition to this comic, goodie bags will also include a copy of our full colour convention exclusive fanzine, The Cybertronian Times (which in previous years had been an additional £7 purchase). And of course, you will still receive the usual array of convention exclusive merchandise, including Auto Assembly postcards which might just have some artwork you could have signed by our guests of honour!
And to really show you just how much we appreciate your understanding and support, we are planning to include one or two surprise goodie bag items; of course, we're not going to give everything away just yet, so you'll just have to check your goodie bags for those!
Furthermore, whilst the issue with the IDW comic is sadly out of our hands, we cannot simply stand by and watch our attendees being short changed. We do very much believe that the goodie bag on offer is great value for money, but Auto Assembly only comes by once a year and we want our attendees to be able to take home with them something extra special to remind them of the show.
Therefore, after much consideration we have decided to increase production of our convention exclusive lithograph. Previously only available to attendees who had booked rooms in the Hilton at our convention rate, we are instead going to provide a copy of the lithograph – free of charge – to each and every attendee who should have received the exclusive comic in their goodie bags. This is going to be a large scale, full colour print, produced by a professional artist, which will be available exclusively at Auto Assembly events this year.
Finally, as a special treat for everybody who has taken the time to read this statement, we thought we'd give you a heads up that a major comic guest is going to cross the ocean to attend Auto Assembly 2012 - and we will be announcing that person sometime in the next 14 days! And we will also be announcing the artist for our lithograph as well so keep your eyes peeled!
Sadness and disappointment aside, we are determined to provide you with the best ever Auto Assembly goodie bag this year. We wish to thank you for your continued support of the convention and, once again, we wish to offer our sincere thanks to IDW. Now let's make Auto Assembly 2012 the best convention ever!

TWO ALL-NEW TRANSFORMERS SERIES DEBUTING IN JANUARY
“Two Titles, One Universe”
Two Series to follow shattering TRANSFORMERS: THE DEATH OF OPTIMUS PRIME issue in December
San Diego, CA (December 21, 2011)— Launching in January, IDW Publishing
is proud to offer TRANSFORMERS and comics fans everywhere two new
ongoing TRANSFORMERS comics series-- TRANSFORMERS: MORE THAN MEETS THE
EYE and TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DISGUISE. Under license from Hasbro, the
two interrelated series are a direct continuation of IDW’s CHAOS event
and spring directly out of the special TRANSFORMERS: THE DEATH OF
OPTIMUS PRIME issue releasing in comic stores and online on December
21st. Both series will appeal to existing TRANSFORMERS fans and new
readers. Featuring two great stories under one TRANSFORMERS comic
universe, each series offers never-before-seen action, new threats and
new villains that both current readers and those new to the series will
enjoy.
“The response to the TRANSFORMERS ongoing series has been phenomenal,”
says IDW senior editor John Barber. “This relaunch is a chance to jump
onboard for anybody who might have been missing out. We’ve got big
stories planned, and there’s never been a better time to read
TRANSFORMERS.”
Created as a stepping on point for both fans of super-heroic and science
fiction comics, as well as fans of the TRANSFORMERS characters,
TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DISGUISE and TRANSFORMERS: MORE THAN MEETS THE
EYE each explore the new status quo coming out of IDW’s CHAOS event
including BUMBLEBEE’s new leadership position for all TRANSFORMERS. The
war between AUTOBOT and DECEPTICON is over, and now the hard part
begins. In the new world of CYBERTRON, there are only two choices: stay
or go.
Helmed by writer James Roberts with art and covers by Nick Roche,
RODIMUS calls on his fellow AUTOBOTS to leave CYBERTRON in search of the
KNIGHTS OF CYBERTRON in TRANSFORMERS: MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE. This
lost tribe of TRANSFORMERS characters is, according to legend, the
guardian of the original Cybertronian culture and RODIMUS and his
followers begin a quest that will stretch to the farthest reaches of the
galaxy to find the KNIGHTS and restore CYBERTRON to its past glory.
TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DISGUISE, written by
John Barber,
with art and covers by Andrew Griffith, follows BUMBLEBEE and the
AUTOBOTS remaining on CYBERTRON. Without OPTIMUS PRIME, BUMBLEBEE finds
himself in command of a world gone mad. TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DIGUISE
brings readers through the struggle to rebuild CYBERTRON as the
AUTOBOTS, DECEPTICONS and civilian TRANSFORMERS, who don’t distinguish
between the other two groups, all vie for control.
Each series will feature four interconnecting covers for issue #1.
Marcele Matere creates the Cybertronian mosaic for TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS
IN DIGUISE, with Alex Milne bringing the explorers to life for
TRANSFORMERS: MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE.
These two new, action-packed series are the direct result of IDW’s CHAOS event, culminating in December’s
TRANSFORMERS: THE DEATH OF OPTIMUS PRIME and TRANSFORMERS #31.
In addition to the print editions, IDW’S TRANSFORMERS comics are
available digitally through Apple’s App Store in the free TRANSFORMERS
app, which features every TRANSFORMERS comic in one place. Many
TRANSFORMERS comics are available in the Sony Digital Comics store.
TRANSFORMERS #31 ($3.99, 32 pages; full color) will be available in December 2011. Diamond order code OCT11 0323.
