In 2002, a new ''[[Transformers Generation 1]]'' comic was published by Dreamwave Productions, alongside an adaptation of the Unicron Trilogy (''[[Transformers Armada|Armada]], [[Transformers Energon|Energon]]'', and ''[[Transformers Cybertron|Cybertron]]''); this was the first to officially use the title ''Generation One''. Simon Furman was brought back to write parts of it, as well as several lesser-known writers. It began as a set of mini-series which gave rise to a short-lived ongoing title. Ideas were taken from both [[The Transformers (animation)|the G1 cartoon]] and the [[The Transformers (
The main draw of the Dreamwave comic was the highly detailed, [[Manga]]-influenced artwork of Pat Lee - which, as it turned out, included a lot of [[Dull Surprise]] and vaguely sexual poses. However, most of the actual drawing, colouring, and inking was done by uncredited and frequently unpaid guest artists while Lee was buying fast cars and sponsoring his girlfriend's Miss World campaign. Following a series of unethical business practises, scandals, and outright crime, Dreamwave declared bankruptcy, leaving both the ''G1'' and ''Unicron Trilogy'' stories unfinished.
=== Generation One-related series published by Dreamwave: ===
* ''Prime Directive'' (April-December, 2002). 6 issues.

* ''The War Within: The Dark Ages'' (October, 2003-April, 2004).

* [[A Boy and His X]]: Wheelie and his pet Sharkticon, Gnaw.
Line 17:
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Sunstorm, a background character from a single scene of the first TV episode, has an arc dedicated to him.
* [[Barehanded Blade Block]]: During the second War Within mini-series, the Fallen catches Grimlock's energo-sword in one hand.
* [[Cut Short]]: Perhaps one of the worst examples. Being cut short resulted in nearly every storyline in the comics being cut off. At the time it ended the series had set up dozens of storylines both major and minor.
* [[Dull Surprise]]
* [[Growing the Beard]]: The second miniseries. The first one, despite some genuinely good moments, was mostly a [[Darker and Edgier]] version of the basic plots.
* [[Medieval Stasis]]: Partly justified by the Great Shutdown.
* [[Myth Arc]]: The series was ''trying'' to build up to one big arc involving the Quintessens and Megatron. Due to being cut short we never saw the resolution to the arc. Apparentlly [[The End of the World as We Know It|Unicron]], the female Transformers, the Golden Disk, the Micromasters, The Great Shutdown, and Earth itself are all somehow linked to this conspiracy.
