Specifics: cover

The Dreamwave Summer Special, released in 2004 by Dreamwave Productions, was a special one-shot issue containing four unrelated stories from different corners of the Transformers mythos. Each story had a single page of information listing the crucial characters, and a recap of the plot of each series thus-far to make each story more accessible to newer readers.

Readers also had the opportunity to fill out a card to vote whether Beast Wars or Robots in Disguise would get a miniseries the following year. Beast Wars won by a large margin but the miniseries was never released due to Dreamwave's closing. A Winter Special follow-up was planned, featuring a story about Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus, as well as several character profiles, but like many Dreamwave projects, this was also never released.

The stories included were Generation 1's "Welcome to the Jungle", Energon's "Perspective", Robots in Disguise's "Ultra Magnus... to the Rescue?", and Beast Wars' "Ain't No Rat".

  • The cover date way May 2004, with a cover price of U.S. $4.95.
