Wait, it's "only" gonna be 300 pages? That's almost a 100 pages less than the other two... Boo.
At least we now know the release date - February 8th?

Solicit says Devastation and seven Spotlights: Galvatron, Ramjet, Wheelie, Blaster, Arcee, Grimlock, and Mirage.
I'm guessing here that Andy wanted AHM to feature over a volume or two of its own, rather than (say) add Revelations to V3, and then Max Dinos + half of AHM in V4. Shame the price point is the same as the meatier vols :-/
Still, this way V4 will include Revelation and Maximum Dinobots, the two-fisted closure volume for the Furman run. (And will probably make me buy v3, even though SL Wheelie is the only thing in it I'd rate five stars, just so my collection doesn't go v1-v2-v4. Cunning bugger, that Andy.)

Apologies for double post - so, the running order so far (with changes from the published solicits in blue (EDIT: Last updated 10th May 2011), is:
V1: Megatron Origin (4 issues); Spotlights Blurr, Cliffjumper, Shockwave, Nightbeat, Hotrod, Soundwave (6 issues); Infiltration (6.5 issues) = 16.5 issues
V2: Stormbringer (4 issues); Escalation (6 issues); Spotlights Sixshot, Ramjet, Ultra Magnus, Kup, Mirage, Optimus Prime (6 issues) = 16 issues
V3: Spotlights Galvatron, Blaster, Arcee (3 issues); the godrotting New Avengers crossover (4 issues); Devastation (6 issues); Spotlights Grimlock and Wheelie (2 issues) = 15 issues
V4: Maximum Dinobots (4 issues); Revelation aka Spotlights Cyclonus, Hardhead, Doubledealer, Sideswipe (4 issues); Drift (4 issues); Spotlights Drift, Metroplex, Jazz (3 issues) = 15 issues
Predictions....
V5: All Hail Megatron 1-16 <--correct  // Starscream cover
V6: Ongoing 1-6; Bumblebee; Last Stand of the Wreckers; Spotlight Prowl // Ultra Magnus cover
V7: Ironhide; Ongoing 7-18 // Shockwave cover??

My V. 2 says it also has Mirage and Ramjet. 
Hmm, could they put Revelation in V.3? That'd make it 15 issues. Then Max Dinos and AHM 1-12 in V. 4 a nice 16, 17 issues?
V.5... Spotlights plus Coda... 8 issues? Hmm...

So we've had the original leaders (Prime & Megatron) and now we have Galvatron.
Could the next volume have Rodimus on the cover? Max Dinos is rather Hot Rod heavy.
The next volume should include Revelations + Maxium Dinobots + Drift + Metroplex + possibly some of the Coda issues.

Wait, what?
Kinda makes sense I guess. However I hope they move SL Galvatron before Devastation. Don't think it reads as well if you meet him and Nemesis in Devastation and then read G's spotlight.

Fixed my previous post, per Sprite's comments. Jealousy waves are headed toward Holland for her having the book already. Hope the dykes are still strong 
Hot Rod for V4 cover, for sure.
Glad to see other posters also happy to speculate what might be collected where B-)

Max Dinos in the same volume as AHM would strengthen the emotional impact of Hunter's fate... hey! Here's your buddies to hug you! Next, an evil genius bug will cut you up.

Holland's on the west side. I'm in the east and up north.

Is this the actual running order? If Ramjet takes place during Escalation, then surely it should be read before Prime's SL?

That's a shame. Means Megatron's "Get me Sixshot" will have less of an impact, as new readers won't know who he is or how dangerous he can be.
