The Energon Pub

The wait is finally over. The animated adaptation of the second issue of Transformers: The War Within has been completed and is now ready for your viewing pleasure.

It has taken a bit longer than originally anticipated due to life (marriage, move, new job, etc...), as well as several cast members being unable to return. However, the end result was worth it.

This episode is nearly 20 minutes long, and all of the music is original music scored especially for the episode. Over 15 voice actors lent their talents to voicing the characters as well.

We hope you all enjoy it. Looking forward to hearing everyone's comments.

YouTube version of episode 2 will be released later on this week.

It really is amazing, and I'm not just saying that because I play Megatron and Scrapper.

Just watched it. Simply fantastic.

Great voice cast especially Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave.

Quite like Red Alert's voice too if only because it's not based on the silly G1 voice they gave him.

In fact I like how the more iconic voices were retained while changing/improving the likes of Red Alert.

Music is very cinematic and lends weight to the story.

Would love to see more TF comic series done like this. I know the movie prequel was done like this 2 years ago. In keeping with non-G1 TF's, why not the Energon or Beast Wars comics? Slag it, World's Collide!

Cannot wait for the next installment. That said, I long for another episode of Headmasters from the TFCog crew.

Keep up the magnificent work.

Youtube version is now posted for those who prefer to view their vids that way:

i thought this was great craic.

little things stand out like the pacing. there really is a sense of drama and that comes down to how you guys decided to direct it.

its great the way you stuck in little easter eggs like the war within preview issue with the conversation between grimlock and starscream. if you just collected the mini indivdiually at the time you didnt get that so its cool to see it fitted in here.

some good guest cameos "yes?"

loved the voices but found soundwave a bit hard to understand.

still all in all a great production.

im in the camp that hopes hasbro cops on and sees what potential there is here for direct to video DVDs for us older fans who'd snap up animated versions of our favourite comics. personally i'd kill to see target 2006 up to time wars retoolled in such a fashion.

keep up the good work on this stuff though man. its compelling viewing.

It's funny that so many people remark on how they'd like to have a cartoon series like War Within, but then when someone animates it, hardly anyone comments on it. LOL
