The "Transformers Summer Special" was a one-shot produced in the summer of 2004 that featured stories from "Generation 1", "Energon", "Robots in Disguise", and "Beast Wars". The latter two were put to a vote by fans, and the winner ("Beast Wars") was to be the next "Transformers" comic series (see "Beast Wars" (Unreleased) and "Beast Wars" (IDW Publishing) Background for more information). The "Summer Special" was to be an annual mini-series, but due to Dreamwave's bankruptcy only one issue was published.
