The Transformers: End of G1 Universe
The Transformers: End of G1 Universe (トランスフォーマー エンドオブG1ユニバース) is a series of comic strips setting out to chronicle, rather ambitiously, the conclusion of the massive Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity. Initially debuting in 2022 to promote a specific toy in TakaraTomy's high-end Masterpiece toyline, the comic then lay dormant for several years before being revived in 2026 to serve as the primary accompanying fiction for the New Legends line. Unlike its predecessor, Generations Selects Special Comic (where the comics were published in the TakaraTomy Mall listings for the toys themselves), End of G1 Universe is directly published on TakaraTomy's official Transformers website.

Overview
End of G1 Universe follows the journey of the surly youth Dark Amber Leo Prime following his mysterious birth in the twilight of the G1 World. Born of the corpse of the legendary warrior Leo Prime and the last dregs of the dark god Unicron's foul essence, time will tell what he chooses to make of his legacy and his dying universe.
The players so far:
- Dark Amber Leo Prime
- The hopeful student of history Bluebolt
- The cannibal scavenger Untite
- (spoilers) the ghost of Leo Prime
- The Stunticons, a team of venerated Maximal elder statesmen turned explorer/diplomants seeking aid from the wider multiverse[1]
