** Like all the other Dreamwave ''Transformers'' comic series, the company's closure left a lot of solicited issues unpublished or unfinished. This includes Issues 11 to 14, the 2004 Datatracks Annual, and a storyline called "Rules of Extinction" that was referenced in Issue 8. IDW Publishing currently owns the scripts and artwork for these issues but refuses to complete and print them since there's a very good chance the writers and artists weren't paid for their work. The creators of said stories also expressed no desire to finish their Dreamwave-era stories, for the same reasons.

In some other countries, some Dreamwave stories got reprinted, but even the collections that aim to be as complete as possible left out some stories due to remaining legal issues.

* WordOfGay - Sunstreaker was outed by Matt Moylan, no matter how illogical this may have been for a genderless robot. The comics ''were'' getting ready to explain how the whole gender and reproduction thing worked for Transformers but due to being cut short the plotline went unresolved.
