Getting The Best Out of Your Break: Energon Additives and You

Originally written for, and published within PLAYBOT: Transformers Pin-Up Zine - which is available for viewing here! (you’ll find mine on page 56/57!) 

This article is set within the IDW continuity, pre-war. It is part of a (in-universe) monthly column that touches on different tips for taking better (and more efficient) breaks. Of course, less socially agreeable prints like these had to submit each run for approval from regulators at the time, before being allowed to publish and distribute. Those regulators were influenced by, and upheld pre-war politics on form & function, social castes, etc.

Note: Getting The Best Out of Your Break would never touch on why their readership’s breaks are so short, why their break is the only time they could take for themselves, why it’s on the reader to maximize this allotted time, or even why some have much fewer and shorter breaks than others. However, they could sneak in some hints.

Please feel free to use any of the concepts mentioned here. If you do, send along a comment or message linking to your work - I'd love to see!
