Gareth Knight from the Cybcon Mailing List has supplied 2005 Board member Artiepants with the following information regarding Transformers comics for the year 2005:

TRANSFORMERS ENERGON - ARMAGEDDON!

The final, epic Energon storyline kicks off in issue #32 of Dreamwave's comic book series (with a shocking prelude in #31). 'Armageddon' is the searing five-part conclusion to Energon and the lead-in to Transformers Cybertron. Making their comic book debut will be the likes of Command Ravage, Doom-Lock, Energon Demolishor, Energon Grimlock, Energon Swoop and many more. No happy endings are guaranteed as the secret origin of Alpha Quintesson is finally revealed - and the seeds of all-out invasion are sown! Issue #32 ships in February 05.

TITAN/TRANSFORMERS B&W COLLECTIONS - CONTENTS

The first Titan collection of the rarely seen (outside the UK) Marvel UK black & white Transformers comic strip material will be 'Aspects of Evil' (collecting the 5-part 'Aspects of Evil' story from TF UK #223-227, plus #251-254, #235-236, #240 and #245-247). All stories are written by Simon Furman and the line-up of artists includes Andrew Wildman, Geoff Senior, Jeff Anderson and Simon Coleby. The collection - the first of five - will be published in b&w manga format in May 05. At some point thereafter, a full-sized colour edition with extra features and bonus strip material, will also be available.

TRANSFORMERS: LAST STAND - SUPER BONUS MATERIALS!

Volume 10 (chronologically speaking) of the Titan Transformers trade paperbacks (collecting the original Marvel US series) will feature, in addition to Bob Budiansky's final five issues (#51-55), a host of never-before-seen bonus materials. These include Bob Budiansky's original pencil breakdowns for the pages he drew from issue #55's story (his only sequential art on Transformers), a draft of Bob's never-used (and certainly never-before-seen) 'Transformers: New Generation' treatment, and the original text for Optimus Prime and Megatron's Transformers Universe entries. Transformers: Last Stand ships in March 05. For details of all Titan's Transformers collections, visit http://www.titanbooks.com/books.html
