    IDW did return to the Hearts of Steel storyline for the second Infestation crossover. Infestation 2 was based around the work of Lovecraft, which came into public domain that year. 2 issues of the crossover were devoted to Transformers, and from what I remember, you can read those as a standalone adventure. You could possibly get the whole crossover as 2 paperbacks. I hope you get a chance to read it if you've missed it.

    God, that Windows Movie Maker-ish intro was SO indicative of an era!
    By the way, your little speech at the start has convinced me to try and make it to 2023. I've fallen off the Transformers bandwagon over the last year, but it's the friendliest fan community anyone could wish for. I'd never consider going to any other convention barring TFNation, everyone just seems very lovely. Glad you lot all enjoyed it!
