Let's see here, Book 3 includes
Revolutionaries #5–8
The Transformers: Lost Light #8–12
Optimus Prime #7–10

The Transformers: Salvation
That would leave out:
Rom vs. Transformers: Shining Armor (#1-5)
Transformers/G.I. JOE: First Strike (#1-6 + The Origins of Evil)...
Was thinking about how we'll probably get a Dezaurus to go up against Victory Saber and had the disappointing thought that it would be a retool of Dragon Megatron, but looking at his original toy, SS86 Grimlock seems like it'd be surprisingly close match based on how Dezzie transforms.
How wild is it that Transformers went from a franchise that was so convinced noone would want to buy the same toy after a few years, so they slaughted a ton of characters in the movie, to re-releasing the same figure like 4 times in as many years.
Everyone saw what Marvel did with the MCU and went "Let's do that," like its the easiest thing in the world, and not a huge gamble that could have destroyed Marvel and required an enormous amount of hard work, luck and having people who give a damn about the property in charge.

The logical fallacy is assuming because Minerva showed up...

Now I'm curious if we'll see the other combiners done similarly to this, but I can't imagine what the "trailer" kibble would be for most of them. Feels like onslaught is the only one that might be able to get away with it.
Also it's interesting that It's just Predacon Tarantulas but Jhiaxus is...
