Notes
- Chris Mowry has a particular fondness for Cosmos, and a Spotlight: Cosmos by him was announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2008 for release in 2009, with art by Andrew Griffith.[1][2][3] Later, though, Mowry announced on a (now defunct) IDW forum thread that the project was likely postponed or cancelled altogether, citing demotivation as a result of fan backlash towards IDW's output at the time.[4] Now, the cover art is the only piece of this we've officially seen... but in May 2009, the unofficial Transformers: Mosaic strip "I Am..." was released, created by Mowry and Griffith. How exactly this was related is unknown.[5]

- ↑ "If it's done, it will be made to fit into the "universe" as neatly as possible. But in all honesty, the reaction to things as of late with G1-related stories really has me not interested in doing this at all. There seems to be a "bash it before you see it" epidemic as of late, so I really have to ask myself "why bother?" I've said it before, I'm a lucky guy who has been given some incredible opportunities. But this isn't my main job, I don't NEED to do this. Recent events have really made me take a closer look at this. We all have a right to express our opinions, but the blatant disrespect and rudeness that people have—and continue to show—towards creators or the fans that speak up for them, is really discouraging. We'll see, though. I've got a few other things to finish up first, and Andrew and I do have a rough outline of where we want this to go. If it's going to happen, you'll hear it here first. But in our minds, Cosmos is absolutely clunky. We're not going to make him a secret agent or anything. On second thought...."—Chris Mowry, the IDW forums (dead link)
