Were you expecting more, or at least some, IDW Publishing Transformers comics this week? So were we. Unfortunately, it seems as though road closures in Mississippi have put a glitch in that plan, as confirmed by
Senior Editor John Barber. Expect a double dose of robocomics in the next two weeks, including the one-shot Punishment, Transformers #37 along with Drift: Empire of Stone, and Angry Birds Transformers #3, MTMTE #37 and TF vs G.I. Joe in the final week of January!

IDW Publishing, current publishers of Transformer comics (and many other well known franchises including
Ghostbusters,
X-Files,
Star Trek,
My Little Pony, and
Angry Birds) have announced their acquisition of
Top Shelf Productions.
SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 01/06/15 -- Leading comic book and graphic novel publisher IDW Publishing announced today that it has acquired Top Shelf Productions, the award-winning independent publisher of graphic novels, including the #1 New York Times and Washington Post bestseller March by Congressman John Lewis, Andrew Aydin and Nate Powell, Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (with Kevin O'Neill) and From Hell (with Eddie Campbell), Craig Thompson's Blankets, Nate Powell's Swallow Me Whole, and Jeff Lemire's Essex County.
"The acquisition of Top Shelf is a milestone for IDW," said Ted Adams, IDW CEO and publisher. "We looked a very long time for a company that would complement our own publishing line-up, and in Top Shelf we found the ideal match. The addition of Top Shelf's library further positions IDW's leadership role among the top powerhouses in comics."
Top Shelf will remain a distinct imprint within IDW and co-founder Chris Staros will join the company as Editor-in-Chief, Top Shelf Productions. Top Shelf's fans can expect the same independent editorial approach that has garnered industry-wide awards and made it an envy among its peers.
"IDW is committed to preserving and growing the Top Shelf brand, which we've long admired," said IDW president and COO Greg Goldstein. "Chris and his team have built a great working relationship with creators, fans, and retailers alike, and IDW will work diligently to expand Top Shelf's publishing capabilities and market reach while further developing those relationships."
Founded in 1997, Top Shelf Productions offers a broad library of comic books and graphic novels from dozens of the industry's top independent creators. Following the acquisition, Top Shelf's headquarters will remain in Marietta, GA.
"Top Shelf and IDW complement each other perfectly," said Top Shelf Productions co-founder and publisher Chris Staros. "We both started around the same time, and when I would watch IDW over the years, as a fellow publisher, I'd see them making smart move after smart move. Now I'm extremely excited to combine their talents and resources with Top Shelf's award-winning literary approach to comics. And believe it or not, the idea to join forces hit us both at exactly the same time. Last year, as I was about to pitch Ted and Greg this 'crazy' idea, they approached me to suggest the same thing! How's that for a good omen? Together, we're going to be able to publish some incredible work. I'm really looking forward to this."
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

There was a time before Dark Cybertron and Autobot Megatron, in IDW's Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye. A time before Drift was exiled, and a time during which James Roberts had imagined an extra interaction between him and medic Ratchet in issue #22 - one that you can now read below as a New Year's gift from the writer himself! For all intents and purposes, this is essentially fan-fiction, as it was never approved or included, but you can start reading below and gain some insight into a comic script too, and find full piece
here.
The following was cut from MTMTE #22 (the documentary issue) for reasons of space - it would have taken up five pages. But as you can see, it was written up and ready to go. It was never seen or approved by John Barber or Hasbro, let alone published, so it's not canon (it's headcanon to me, though).
The lead-in to this scene would have been a to-camera interview with Drift in which he would have bemoaned Ratchet’s lack of a sense of humor. I’d originally written it – or something like it – for issue #13, but again it had to go when more important things took up page space.
FIRST PAGE
1 / Drift walks into the medibay, where Ratchet is waiting with Rewind. Ratchet looks troubled and pensive. He’s leaning on one of the circuit slabs.
DRIFT: You wanted to see me.
DRIFT: Am I ill?
RATCHET: You’re fine. It’s me.
RATCHET: Close the door.
2 / Ratchet in the foreground, looking at the floor. Drift in the background, in front of the closed door, hand on the door activation pad, looking at Ratchet.
RATCHET: This is—
RATCHET: You’ll appreciate this is particularly difficult
for me to talk about, however…
RATCHET: You may be many things, but—until your
next massive personality shift—you’re not one to gloat.
3 / Drift stands opposite Ratchet, looking worried.
DRIFT: Okay, I’m worried now.
DRIFT: What is it? Is everything alright?
4 / Cut to Drift being interviewed.
DRIFT: I’d never seen him so worried.
DRIFT: And he was being nice—to me.
5 / Back to the medibay, as Panel 3. Ratchet is looking at his hands.
RATCHET: It’s my hands.
RATCHET: Pharma’s hands.
RATCHET: I mean the hands you, er, liberated from
Pharma.
RATCHET: The rogue doctor we met on Delphi. Who’s
now dead.
6 / Cut to Ratchet being interviewed.
RATCHET: I don’t know why I added that bit.
