What you said about your suspicions about Zerta Trion's messages that got me thinking. What if it isn’t Zerta talking to Derek and Solia but what if it’s actually Unicron perhaps trying to manipulate events into playing out in a way that will benefit him?

Since Energon is in the name of the Universe, I'd say they're all Transformers books!

I'm wondering why Dulin was smiling after his discord call with Zalilak. Because deep down he's glad his son is alive? Or because he secretly wants the coming of Goliant as well, and is keeping his intentions hidden from Zalilak? Is he one of the Agorrian counterparts to the group that helped the pair escape?

interesting how citizens of the Sacred Ring are techno-organic, this concept as being tackled in the Marvel Comics, Beast Machines and Animated, with Beast Machines focusing on the idea the most. combing this with Agorrians and Zertonians being distant kind of Cybertoniens. I get the impression the Zerta Trion made the Sacred Ring as an emergency Energon supply drawing energy form the black hole in the center, in case of energy shortage ever happened on Cybertron, Only to be forgotten with time. We saw in the Cobra Commander mini that Energon could effect organic life, I feel that year 1 of the Energon Universe is a calm before the storm seeing various factors along with Cybertrian technology running rampant though Earth/humanity. Zerta Trion mention and Agorrian started the path Solila will finish and that Zalilak has a child, future characters latter down the line. Dullen is becoming investing, we first meant him as a hard nosed ass to his son but now we are seeing him as someone more pragmatic, not sure what he personally see in Darak but it must being something more that what were initially let on to believe.

That key definitely looks like a the key to Vector Sigma, but i'm guessing it is another key to a well of sparks on this planet, which could be unicron, yes. I'm guessing it is a key to a well, which is powered by the sacred ring to generate and or keep the sparks incubated, until they are ripe enough for their next phase, which could be combining a spark to a zertonian and agronian (sorry)....maybe to grow numbers in a fight against the original opressors of the transformers, The Quintessons.

Ah, cool, good to know. Thanks. I'm not familiar with the convention comics, sadly.

Since hearing about Energon ports in their heads has me shaking my head. Why? So, they don't have brains? Where is the thing to store energy and pump it through their systems at? The heads and necks should be thicker.what is the purpose of them having a mouth? Do they eat too? Did they not know over the years what their bodies looked like on the inside. Some had to have died at some point maybe a head was cut off or some head blow. Or someone broke an arm. I think they would have known they weren't just organic at some point in their history. Maybe their brains are in their assets. Their bodies are humanoid. Why couldn't it be their belly button or in their chest or something. That energy port is a bit much for me.
