The Energon Pub

[NemesisMagnus]

First off, sorry if this was covered already. Does anybody know if any of the comic publishers plan on doing the More Then Meets The Eye series for the other continiums which were not covered yet, such as beast wars, robots in disguise, cyberton etc. Also, would anybody know if they plan on finishing the Energon one. I think it would be really awsome to see some more of these done and a preemptive thanks to those who reply, thanks

Beast Wars is coming, it'll be out around the time of Beast Wars: The Ascending.

When Dreamwave still had the TF license they also made an Armada MTMTE series.

Other then the IDW planned Beast Wars profile books there are no others in the works. Currently, IDW has no plans at all to do any profile books after Beast Wars. However, the club magazine has featured profiles from Universe, Classics, and Cybertron.

Chris Ryall's been throwing around the idea of getting the G1 books back into print despite the heavy links with the DW continuity. There was some talk about putting it out as one volume, but IF it happens it's now looking more likely to be two. If we do see this reprinted though it isn't going to be anytime soon. The Beast Wars profiles that are due later in the year will initially be published as four 48 page issues and later collected into book form.

thank you gentlemen, just one more quick question and it's probably dumb lol. Anyways, how do you find or get a hold of the club comics, I have never heard of those and would like to try and find them, thanks.

There are two batches. First were the OFTCC Universe and Universe Featuring the Wreckers comics, both only lasted three issues (stopped when Hasbro revoked 3H's license) and weren't great. Best bet for finding these is ebay, try searches on 'Universe' and 'Wreckers' or possibly 'Botcon'.
The more recent stuff is by Fun Publications who run the current Collectors Club. To get individual issues you need to join the club and you get about 6 pages of story in the Club Magazine every two months. Some back issues are available for order at the Club store on their website. The first two years worth of these have been collected into the TPB Cybertron: Balancing Act and published by IDW, this you should be able to find in comic stores but it only reprints the comic pages not the profiles or other features. Before going under 3H also started printing OFTCC Official Transformers Magazine which had some profiles, comics and text stories tying back to their Universe titles. As far as I'm aware this never got past the first issue, but I'm not 100% on that.

Raging pedant and Linguistics student here, more THAN meets the eye. THAN. I've noticed a disturbing trend in the last few years of 'then' cropping up in the place of 'than', just like people typing 'rediculous'. Goddamn schwas are killing the written language.

That's why we use accronyms like MTMTE lol

One more quick question on the subject then i'm done. I know where to get the resources now but for poops and giggles, anybody know if a list has been compiled of the profiles in the sources? It would be nice to havea a list of these ones for my personal database. Thanks.
