'''''Transformers: Energon Official Guidebook''''' is, in many ways, the most coherent guide to the ''Energon'' universe, seeming to represent the original American story treatment for the series before it was mangled in Japan (and rendered almost incoherent when translated back over), and substantial changes were made for the comic book version. As a result of this, several key points that were either unaddressed or glossed over in both the comic and cartoon versions make their way into this book.

==Notes==
* [[Energon]] has the special property of boosting Transformers' power and performance by an order of magnitude. For species seeking to use it for other purposes, Energon is simply a powerful clean-burning power source, not ''magic''.
* In the peaceful years after ''Armada'', the Autobots established cities all over the Universe. Some of Earth's cities are located in [[Mexico]] ([[Jungle City]]), [[United Kingdom|England]] ([[Plains City]]) and [[Egypt]] ([[Desert City]]).
* Kicker's battle armor was made at the Autobot [[Extraterrestrial Research and Development Center|Research Center]] on Cybertron where Rad works. When wearing his suit Kicker is known as "B Kicker." ''Suuuure he is...''
* [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]], [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]] and [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]] were all security officers when the series began. Demolishor was in charge of security and defense at [[Ocean City]]. Cyclonus and Tidal Wave were the heavy-hitter security contingent for [[Lunar City]] and [[Asteroid City]], respectively.
* In the first episode of ''Energon'', Optimus Prime was training young Autobots in the martial arts discipline [[Wikipedia:Kumite|Kumite]].
* [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]] is [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]]'s [[Relatives|brother]].
* [[Strongarm (Energon)|Strongarm]]'s axe returns to his hand when thrown, boomerang-style.
* [[Signal Flare (Energon)|Signal Flare]] is the greatest Energon welder among the [[Omnicon]]s.
* [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] are able to [[Cloning|clone]] themselves. The 'named' Terrorcons are in fact the originals, who lead feral packs of their own clones. The original models are more intelligent than the general body of Terrorcons.
*The Terrorcons' Energon-candy-thingies are called "Energon storage pockets," not Energon chips like the Autobot version.
* Insect-type Terrorcons are the rarest. Unlike the other Terrorcons, [[Insecticon (Energon)|Insecticon]] can clone himself at will, swelling into an army of several hundred while on the battlefield.
* Kicker was 16 when ''Energon'' began and 8 years old when he first visited Cybertron. His sister Sally is 13 when the series begins.
* The Mini-Cons that form the [[Energon Saber]] were trapped in raw [[Energon]] for some time and when they emerged the metal of their bodies has been replaced with pure raw Energon. (This is similar to the process [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]] underwent, having large portions of his body replaced by pure refined Energon after accidental contact with a large amount of Raw Energon caused them to begin to decay.)
* [[Carlos Lopez|Carlos]] and [[Rad White|Rad]] are 22 years old in ''Energon''.
* [[Alexis Thi Dang|Alexis]] is 21 and is a Public Information Officer working for the [[Federal Government of Earth]].

==Errors and oddities==
* Optimus Prime returned to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] when he sensed [[Unicron]]'s power growing and was given the [[Spark of Combination]] in a special ceremony to boost his power. ''Uh... that didn't happen. At least not in any continuity we saw.''
* [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] has two powerful weapons- his enormous speed and "a powerful blaster attached to his body." o.O;
* [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] (as in all [[Reader's Digest]] books) is described as having four modes, apparently an error stemming from an awkward language addressing his construction vehicle/scorpion mode.
* "Demolishor is a re-scanned version of the Autobot missile tank."
