Armada/Energon Comic Rumors from Simon Furman

The following was supposedly from the mouth of Simon Furman, as with all news like this, it can´t be confirmed as fact. So, like everything else on the Prof. Smooth Rumor Page, things could change.

For those wondering if Armada will end with issue 18, the answer is no. Sort of. As of issue 19, the Armada comic will be the Energon comic. It´ll retain the same numbering system, but will have a new title. Perhaps this will prevent Dreamwave from giving us 7 different covers for the premiere issue...

Unicron himself may not appear in the Armada comic, but will instead debut after the title becomes Energon. If true, this contridicts everything we´ve previously believed.

The Decepticons appearing in the Armada "World Collide" story are NOT from the Dreamwave G1 continuity (continuity fans let out a collective groan). Rather, they´re from an alternate reality. This will explain why Galvatron looks like a cross between his G1 comic and toy appearance.

The new TF character, The Fallen, in the new War Within mini-series will be a completely new character. His story is that he´s a first-generation transformer who was excommunicated for some reason.

Fact? Fiction? An alternate reality melding of the two? We shall see, we shall see...
