'''Wavelengths''' was promoted as the fan section of the [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] run of ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' comics. It was introduced on [[April 16]], [[2003]] in the [[New World Order|first issue]] of ''[[War and Peace]]'' for the [[Dreamwave Generation One continuity|Generation 1 comic series]] and on [[April 9]], [[2003]] in the [[Dreamwave Armada issue 10|tenth issue]] of ''[[Armada (Dreamwave comic)|Armada]]'' for the [[Dreamwave Armada continuity|Unicron Trilogy comic series]]. Material contained in the Wavelengths pages were previews (including ones for other, not-''Transformers'' Dreamwave comics), creator interviews (called "From The Desk Of..."), [[Letters page|reader mail]], fan art and contests. The latter three topics were wrapped together in a section called "DW Letters" early on. For the Generation 1 comics, it was renamed "Prime Transmissions" and "Declarations of War" whereas the Unicron Trilogy comics continued the section nameless.

Revision as of 09:54, 3 June 2012

This article is about the Dreamwave comics feature. For the electricity-wielding Decepticon, see Wavelength.

Wavelengths was promoted as the fan section of the Dreamwave run of Transformers comics. It was introduced on April 16, 2003 in the first issue of War and Peace for the Generation 1 comic series and on April 9, 2003 in the tenth issue of Armada for the Unicron Trilogy comic series. Material contained in the Wavelengths pages were previews (including ones for other, not-Transformers Dreamwave comics), creator interviews (called "From The Desk Of..."), reader mail, fan art and contests. The latter three topics were wrapped together in a section called "DW Letters" early on. For the Generation 1 comics, it was renamed "Prime Transmissions" and "Declarations of War" whereas the Unicron Trilogy comics continued the section nameless.
