Continuing the marketing direction of Armada, the Transformers: Energon toyline included as series of 4 mini-comics rolled out as the line progressed. Mostly written and illustrated by Dreamwave, the mini-comics were printed back-to-back with a catalog featuring the current waves of Energon toys. None of them have any overt link to any other Energon fiction.

Notes
- International versions of the mini-comics for toys that came in multilingual packaging used different approaches: Whereas the trilingual version (Canada and Latin America) crams all the dialogue into the same speech bubbles and captions in all three languages (English, French and Spanish), thus resulting in very brief texts for each individual language, the European version reprints the comic six times, each version in a different language (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Dutch). Not only are the single-language texts considerably longer... the French and Spanish versions use entirely different translations.
- Meanwhile, the toy catalogs for the European versions omit various toys that weren't released in Europe, such as 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime, anything from Universe and Built to Rule!, and Alternators toys advertised are also limited to toys actually sold in Europe.
