Tokyopop is a North American manga publisher that released a series of Cine-Manga based on the Armada and Energon television series. Cine-Manga adapt anime episodes into pocket-sized graphic novel form, laying out screen captures like comic book panels and adding dialogue bubbles and sound effects.
The term "Cine-Manga" is commonly used to refer to all sorts of tv-to-manga adaptations like this, but is actually a trademark by Tokyopop.

- This is the only english-language source for the spelling of "Olyhalcons", much-mangled in the process of being translated from Greek to Japanese to English. (The original root being "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/orichalcum" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:orichalcum">orichalcum</a>".)
The Starsaber Dilemma
<a href="/w2/index.php?title=Special:Booksources&isbn=1591827590" class="internal">ISBN 1591827590</a>

- According to the dramatis personæ at the start of the book, Miranda Jones is also a scientist, like her husband.

<a href="/w2/index.php?title=Special:Booksources&isbn=159182814X" class="internal">ISBN 159182814x</a>
