Transformers: Energon (comic)
Following the Dreamwave series Armada, the Energon storyline commenced, beginning with issue 19. Set ten years after the end of the Armada era, the opening issue featured several of the major players from that series recapping the events of Armada, with Optimus Prime displaying concern that the threat of evil was ever-present. Several characters had received their storyline upgrade to their Energon forms. Several, including Optimus Prime, had not.
The Energon series ended with issue 30 (December 2004 cover date), but was planned to have an 18-issue arc as with the Armada series. The Energon was cut short due to Dreamwave's shuttering at the end of 2004. Cover art from issues 31 through 33 have appeared on Seibertron, among other places.
