IDW Dreamwave reprints
IDW Dreamwave reprints
Thus far IDW have reprinted G1 Volume 1, G1 Volume 2, The War Within and War Within: Dark Ages, plus a smattering of issues in TF Magazine.
It seems unlikely more will follow unless the material is legally cleared from the Dreamwave bankruptcy proceedings. (Doesn't seem likely at this juncture.)
Reviews of DW stuff can be found here:

In addition to any unprinted stuff, a publisher has to be willing to buy the existing uncompensated material.
Basically anyone that did it would be paying out a largish sum up-front just to reprint stuff, then buying in more (publishing which would directly compete with any other TF products that were being released.)
And whoever does it has to have the TF comics license from Hasbro if looking to monetise the content.
That light up ahead is probably just a train.

I don't think it is. I once wrote to IDW via e-mail about this back when they first started, and they had told me that they would like to finish all those loose-ends, but the only thing holding them back was the litigation. Based upon that, I am positive, once the litigation is finished, IDW will pick up where DW left off, while also working on their current story lines. That includes buying the existing uncompensated works.

Of course, it could be that the DW trades they've already done haven't sold well enough to make it worthwhile as well...

I'd always wanted to get that DW stuff finished for the fans who suffered through the collapse, but the further we all get away from it, the more I'd rather expend energy on our stuff, especially with there being no end to the bankruptcy that's holding that material back anyway.
Furman's possibly up for allowing the WW:AOW scripts/outlines to go online. We've seen similar with 3H material being turned onto teh intarwebs this year.
