When Dreamwave Productions declared bankruptcy in 2005, several of their series were left hanging without any strong sense of closure. However, various sources have revealed small portions of what might have been.

Energon

Despite issue #30 completing its current storyline, Energon still had many unresolved plot points. But with a little (okay, a LOT of) logistical generosity, the American translation of Galaxy Force can be considered as a follow-up. Sorta.

In keeping with Armada, a three-part More Than Meets The Eye series of Energon characters was also planned. Much of the artwork and profiles were completed.

The War Within: The Age of Wrath

It can be concluded that the plot would have wrapped up successfully, as several central characters appear in later stories.

Additionaly, several pages of art work were published in the TransformersCon 2005 Program (which had several ex-Dreamwave employees as special guests). The covers to the issues were also seen in solicitations to comic retailers.

Issue #4

Issue #5

  • Cover: Blaster held at gunpoint by Megatron.
  • Page 1: Clone trooper standing over a deactivated Shockwave.
  • Page 2: Two deactivated clone troopers lying in a heavily damaged lab, and a trail of Seeker-shaped footprints. Also, a few small, dead Sharkticons litter the floor.
  • Page 5: Blaster fights against Megatron, using sound attacks and his electro scrambler.

Generation 1 ongoing

Several covers were distributed to comic retailers in solicitations. Pages from the unreleased issue #1 were published in the fourth issue of The Comic Book Digest from Lamp Post Publications. Additonal pages leaked onto the internet revealed a great number of Exo Suits. In all likelihood, these are connected to Project Centurion mentioned in The Route of All Evil.

Issue #11

  • Cover: Several female robots, lookin' deadly.
  • Page 1: Hot Rod looking up at a deactivated Optimus Prime being held in a repair chamber.
  • Page 2: Hot Rod passing by Wheelie and Gnaw and looking out of a window.
  • Page 3: Presumably due to a printing error, has the same artwork from page 2
  • Page 4: Arcee looks out a window towards Cybertron shrinking in the distance, as she, Kup, Springer, and the Dinobots travel their way to Cybertron's moon.
  • Page 5: Hot Rod, Wheelie, and Gnaw see a female robot teleport into the facility.
  • Page 6: Hot Rod attacks the female robot, but she delivers a knee to his chest. Wheelie and Gnaw hide.
  • Page 7: The female robot ducks a punch from Hot Rod. She deactivates Hot Rod before he can sound the alarm (at a Transformerscon 2005 guest panel, it was mentioned by the writers that the female robots were to be skilled martial artists). She sends a communication back to Quintessa
  • Page 8: More females teleport into the facility. Gnaw transforms to fight them off, but like Hot Rod, he's quickly disabled.

Issue #12

  • Cover: Optimus Prime holding the body of Elita-1 in a manner reminiscent of The Uncanny X-Men #136 and Crisis On Infinite Earths #7. There was also going to be a variant cover featuring a drawing of Optimus Prime by Pat Lee. Ideally, the issue would have been released during December, which Dreamwave was calling their Optimus Prime month.

Issue 13

Beast Wars

Although heavily advertised, no issues of Beast Wars saw print. Scans found on the internet show it would have had strong similarities to the Beast Wars comic eventually printed by IDW Publishing (which makes sense, as it has the same artist and writer). At Transformerscon 2004, Pat Lee also expressed an interest in possibly doing a complete series of More Than Meets The Eye profile books for Beast Wars, including all non-show characters. As you can imagine, this never happened.
