The Energon Pub

[Steponahen Day]

Having caught up with the whole thing, I really just want to see Unicron devour a universe in its full before he dies, if he even dies considering he has pretty much all of Shockwave's ores on him. But I hope that with Megatron's return things take a change, hoping Megatron isn't a Decepticon again which seems unlikely.

But Unicron needs to be able to devour an entire universe in our view for once, we've been told he's done it before but we've never seen it happen apart from a few planets getting eaten. In fact, I feel as if I might be the only one wants Unicron to win and devour everything. So All hail Unicron, the Chaos Bringer.

Hate to break it to you but I doubt the return of that character will impact the unicron series. Would love to be wrong but everyone involved with ll is just going to sit this one out.

Yeah I kinda want a continuity that’s been the longest running amount of stories not be destroyed. The series deserves a good ending and Megatron and LL arnt part of this.

Also hate to break it to you but Optimus Prime #25 takes place after unicron #6. It’s an epilogue to the entire IDW-verse. So spoiler alert: they win. Shocking.

[ZeroWolf]

Well to be fair, they win...but at what cost? It's going to be fun to see what the fallout is still this universe draws to a close. Though it will be interesting to see how long we'll have to wait till the next iteration begins

Probably January.

I don’t even want a new G1 continuity after this. Just do a Cyberverse ongoing to go with that show. Give G1 a break for a while.

[ZeroWolf]

I could be open to that Or even do miniseries based on other continuities, like rid 2001 etc

Ya know while reading lost light 22 and halfway through all dialogue of the coming of something that’s a threat to the universe I was literally saying out loud “oh god is this really tied in with Unicron?!” And then the final page reveal made me say “oh thank god!”

I really don’t think it’s going to have to do with Unicron. It’s james story that’s he’s planned since the get go however with Megatron back I am questioning that now. However with him back Lost Light will either end with them heading home and Optimus Prime#25 will be the a reunion with everyone(as it should be since it’s the final al IDW-verse issue coming out in October) or megatron takes whoever is left alive back to the functionalist universe.

I’m kinda good with either.

Cybertron isn’t surviving. I’ve made peace with that. The last stand will be on earth and when they defeat unicron earth will be this place everyone lives together.

I'd be down for that.

This too. How long have Animated fans said they'd settle for a comic? Basically forever, yeah?

Never-gonna-happen pipe dream for me: the conclusion of Furman's Energon run gets made.

Yeah that’ll never happen for a lot of reasons. Mostly because IDW isn’t gonna she’ll out the cash to give everyone who participated in that series the back pay that Dreamwave didn’t pay them and becuase Simon already released the scripts for the issues never made.

It’s an okay read to see where that series was going but like Worlds Collide it was Furman not using existing characters and toys from the line that it’s suppose to be about which was kind of a middle finger to Energon.

Unless, hear me out, unless the last issue of LL and OP reconcile the 2 and finish it properly by reuniting everyone either in a functionist universe, or even on one of the 5 Cybertrons that has shown up in LL. Or even Luna 1, since it is still out there.

See I have so many issues with those 5 cybertrons. How are they powered? They don’t have a vector sigma? What are they made out of? If they’re pristine and brand new why do they have cities? We’ve seen Cybertron brand new. The matrix reformatted cyberton to how it was when it created and it’s a giant metal ball that’s got an all natural looking surface. It bugs me. I see them exploding honestly. I see those 5 just blowing up as the grand architects plan falls apart.


I see lost light having a full on ending with Rodimus saying “set a course home” and then 25 of Optimus Prime ending with the lost light finding everyone who survived unicron(I really think it’ll be earth) and everyone reunited.


Just please for the love of god don’t end with Rodimus faceplanting on the ground millions of years later and Botanical coming out of a giant metal flower....

[ZeroWolf]

You say that like it's already happened...

*remembers the ending of regeneration 1*

Oh...

They're made from a mold using Cybertron as it was at a particular time as the base, not necessarily the planet's original state.

It's like when the Chinese KO companies made G1 Dinobots by recasting molds using the old toys, rather than by re-engineering them from scratch.

I know before th issue came out I guess that those were made from the necro world mold and Cybertron wasn’t made it but the mold itself was made from Cybertron.

My problem is how do they work. They don’t jave a vector sigma to power them. And they have cities and an atmosphere! We’ve seen Cybertron brand new becuase that’s what everyone has been living on since the war ended. It doesn’t have cities and roads and they say this is pristine out of the package Cybertron. and these look just like the cartoon Cybertron. In fact that what they’re based on but how do they work? They’re just knock offs but they have power to them becuase they work.

Oh...

Yeah that happened...

Took about a year regen ended to go back and reread the series and go “oh this is just awful...”

I always had a problem with the Cybertron 'mold' idea. The effort involved in planet molding would be ludicrously vast. The workforce would number somewhere in the quadrillions. Anyone who's seen construction in progress knows that it is very time-consuming. Surely the Galactic Council would have done something about the project. They wouldn't tolerate such high levels of power-building, posing an existential threat to them. How would the mold be removed without it catching on all the detailed buildings? If someone had the power to mold Cybertrons, he/she could use that same massive power to conquer the galaxy and whatever else was desired.

[ZeroWolf]

To be fair, hadn't the grand architect got the council busy by having them fight the consortia? Plus we don't know how they were created (the processes that is). Really we could be over thinking something that Roberts thought sounded cool.

Courtesy of Previews World, and a notification from fellow Seibertronian admin ScottyP, we have a new cover for the IDW Publishing Transformers comics miniseries Unicron and its fourth issue, due later in August.

It looks like we're really headed to Earth after all, with regulars Jazz and Thundercracker joined by Aileron and Stardrive! Check it out below in Alex Milne's lineart and uncredited colourist - probably Josh Perez (or Sebastian Cheng) - and join us for previews and reviews in the coming weeks for more!

You're confusing normal thinking with overthinking. (Actually, that's offensive.) I believe that the 'mold' idea was just a joke about toy-making.

There’s mold on toy they better be recalled people can get sick from it
