	The '''''Transformers: Galaxy Force''''' [[manga]], written and drawn by [[Yoshihiro Iwamoto]], ran for nine issues from February 2005 to October 2005 in the pages of ''[[Comic ~~Bom Bom~~]]'' when the [[Transformers: Cybertron (cartoon)\|''Galaxy Force'' cartoon]] was on air. The series is not drastically different from the cartoon, hitting all the same major storytelling beats, albeit in a more truncated form.

Iwamoto was, at least, given enough lead-in time for the final issue to end it with a double-page spread hinting at all the challenges that lay ahead, providing a dramatic "open" ending to the strip. ''~~Bom Bom~~'' itself did not have much life left in it thereafter, and the magazine was retired a scant two years later.<ref>[http://werou.com/nicky/log200707.html ''Ganken'' blog entry of July 17, 2007 checking from Yahoo!Japan News]</ref>		The series appears to have been intended to run to twelve issues, but with ''Galaxy Force'' not performing well in Japan, it was canceled after only nine installments.

	The '''''Transformers: Galaxy Force''''' [[manga]], written and drawn by [[Yoshihiro Iwamoto]], ran for nine issues from February 2005 to October 2005 in the pages of ''[[Comic Bom Bom]]'' when the [[Cybertron (cartoon)\|''Galaxy Force'' cartoon]] was on air. The series is not drastically different from the cartoon, hitting all the same major storytelling beats, albeit in a more truncated form.		The '''''Transformers: Galaxy Force''''' [[manga]], written and drawn by [[Yoshihiro Iwamoto]], ran for nine issues from February 2005 to October 2005 in the pages of ''[[Comic Bom Bom]]'' when the [[Transformers: Cybertron (cartoon)\|''Galaxy Force'' cartoon]] was on air. The series is not drastically different from the cartoon, hitting all the same major storytelling beats, albeit in a more truncated form.

	The series appears to have been intended to run to twelve issues, but with ''Galaxy Force'' not performing well in Japan, it was canceled after only nine installments. The manga ended with [[Optimus Prime (Armada)\|Optimus Prime]] and [[Wing Saber (Energon)\|Wing Saber]] combining and defeating the super-powered [[Starscream (Armada)\|Starscream]], leaving the stories of [[Gigantion]], [[Planet X (Cybertron)\|Planet X]] and the concluding battle of the series untold. Iwamoto was, at least, given enough lead-in time for the final issue to end it with a double-page spread hinting at all the challenges that lay ahead, providing a dramatic "open" ending to the strip. ''Bom Bom'' itself did not have much life left in it thereafter, and the magazine was retired a scant two years later.<ref>[http://werou.com/nicky/log200707.html ''Ganken'' blog entry of July 17, 2007 checking from Yahoo!Japan News]</ref>		The series appears to have been intended to run to twelve issues, but with ''Galaxy Force'' not performing well in Japan, it was canceled after only nine installments.

	*The "Mission #" headers and the actual ''chapter titles'' were absent from the original ''Comic Bom Bom'' printings and retroactively added to the graphic novel collection. Because Missions 7-9 were never collected, they lack chapter titles. For the purposes of this wiki, the articles have been titled "Galaxy Force Mission 7-9".		*The "Mission #" headers and the actual ''chapter titles'' were absent from the original ''Comic Bom Bom'' printings and retroactively added to the graphic novel collection.
