Energon Universe

It's a genius market strategy.

What Kirkman and his team did was use this intimate, original creator-owned narrative to secretly establish the foundation for what they called the Energon Universe.

Right.

A massive shared continuity that would soon include Transformers and G.I. Joe.

They're doing The Night Force.

event right now which is kind of like a culmination of all the stories that have been happening in the gi joe comics and it is rad it's all the chess pieces coming to play um against uh the big bad who are right now is i always forget how to pronounce it this is r10 um who kind of took over for general hawk and it's just really good stuff um i love the energon universe i'm reading everything so easy recommendation

Hell yeah.

I dropped G.I. Joe, but I'm glad to hear it's still good.

Now, this is an artist who had done some absolutely phenomenal work already in his, you know, like, again, such a young age, really.

And he's done some beautiful covers and had done some absolutely phenomenal covers for the Energon universe and for G.I. Joe, including these beautiful kind of team covers that I've got on screen at the moment.

And just wanted to obviously, you know, highlight the fact that he was a phenomenal artist and, you know, again, like such an awful, awful thing to happen.

But yeah, too young, man, too young.

Anyway, by the by, that was out as well.

So will there be a third one if they make more silent missions, Couch Boy? And I would love it if they did because, again, I think they could go back to the Joe team and they could give us a bunch more awesome missions for sure.

Now, as well as those, we had Energon Universe Void Rivals issue, which introduces the character of Predacron.

You would know him as a Joe fan as Predacon from the Lunatics wave of figures back in the late 90s, mid 90s, technically.

Optimus Prime and Megatron are forever changed as the war between the Autobots and Decepticons takes unexpected and violent turns.

Even if these two powerful leaders are vulnerable, is anyone in the Energon Universe truly safe? Uh, so that collects volume, uh, issues 31 to 36.

The alternate cover to that is a really cool Megatron energy mace cover, which I think is cooler than the Meg- So the Megatron, um, the main cover there, the Megatron shooting his fusion cannon, I think that was one, I think, forget, I think that was issue 31.

Uh, I think that was issue 31's cover.

I understand and I respect him for trying, but dude, you failed.

There's nothing so far in all of the Energon universe that is ever going to make me like Cobra La.

But try again? Yeah.

How about introducing some other characters or something else? Maybe do something else.

How Skywarp and Thundercracker reunite with the fight that they have in 36 between each other, and then what goes on in 36.

So...

Yeah, no, as the penultimate and then finale to the sixth overall arc in three and a half years of the Energon universe.

Wow, we've had six story arcs for this version of Transformers.
