Latest News and Updates!

The original Transformers Legends line came to a close in Japan back in 2019, and with it ended the manga which told the story of why every single new attempt made over the years to create more cartoon-accurate toys is actually canon to their version of Generation 1, where the characters already looked like the characters to begin with, and oh, I've gone cross-eyed. In all seriousness, though: It looks like TakaraTomy are continuing their Transformers Legends line with Transformers New Legends, which... well, features new Legends toys. And stories! With it comes a new manga titled "The Transformers: End of G1 Universe". Catchy, huh? If you're wondering why it says "Chapter 2" in the above image, however, it's because the two parts of the first chapter were originally published back in 2022 to promote the Masterpiece release of Dark Amber Leo Prime early the following year. But since that Masterpiece line is now kaput, they've shifted the story over to, well, this. As one might infer from the title, this story takes place after the events of The Transformers: Beast Wars Neo, and this episode even cuts back to the closing moments of the final battle of that show in the opening, which also predates the aforementioned first chapter -- basically, the new one is telling us how we got there. You can check out the original Japanese language version over on TakaraTomy's official website, but if you can't make heads or tails of what it's saying, then good news! Thanks to Sabrblade, we have an English translation posted over on our forums! (There's at least one other floating around, but this one's a little more polished.) The first page is above, but there's 17 more just waiting for you! Feel free to talk about this episode here, or the series as a whole over in the "New TakaraTomy Legends Line" thread in our forums!

As you might have heard, longtime rivals of the toy aisle Mattel and Hasbro are getting on pretty well these days, leading to a fair bit of crossover between some of each company's most famous brands. Like some sort of "collaboration". Among those pairings of properties has been a new line that shows the Power of Grayskull is More Than Meets the Eye, 'Til All Are One... or something. It's Masters of the Universe and Transformers, in case you don't get it yet, what with the big header and all. Anyway, the point of this post is less about the toys, and more about the lore. See, as with many a MotU action figure over the brand's many years, the new Energon of Grayskull figures each come with a mini-comic that details the story of why and how this is all happening. Wave 1 of Man-at-Arms in Bumblebee armor and Skeletor in Megatron armor come with the first part of the story, while Wave 2, featuring He-Man in Optimus Prime armor and Scareglow in Starscream armor, feature the last(?) half. But good news! If you're more interested in the story than you are in purchasing the figures, Mattel Creations has uploaded both parts of the story as semi-animated "motion comics" to their YouTube channel, complete with music! No voice acting, though. And hey, maybe if you like what you see, they're probably hopeful that you'll come around on that whole "less interested in purchasing the figures" part of the deal. Only one way to find out! And there you have it! So, what do you think? Has this brought you around to the idea of these figures, or are you just happy to know what's going on, and are ready to move on with your life? Do you want to see this line continue? And if so, who would you want to see mashed up for future waves? Teela as Elita-One ("Teelita-One"?)? Trap-Jaw as Shockwave? Panthor as Ravage? Tell us in the comments below, or hop over into either the "He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe" and/or the "Transformers Collaborative | MOTU x Transformers, more Stranger Things/TF" threads on our forums! 'TIL ALL HAVE THE POWER... or something. Allspark Forums Discord Server Twitter/X Facebook Page Bluesky Instagram

Hey, remember that stand-alone Transformers store at Battersea Power Station that we told you about last year? Well, if you don't, you can get caught up here. Now then, it turns out they had a special event there for Transformers Day, one where they revealed a new Titan! That looks like Battersea Power Station! Does that technically make this guy a part of the Collaborative line, or...? Well, that's getting a little ahead of ourselves, as this big boy ain't getting any toys just yet. Heck, he doesn't even have a name! That's where you come in. Yes, you. Specifically, the person reading these words on your screen right now. You and you alone have been chosen to pick the name. You and everyone else like you... or just anyone who visits this link. Here's a bigger look at the big guy: This big fella makes his debut in an exclusive mini-comic: That's immense indeed. As we all know, no Transformer has ever been bigger than Optimus Prime to date. Kidding aside, there are three names to choose from with which to christen the Battersea Titan: Turbine Maximus, Metroboss, or Autobot Powerplex. Eh, not exactly the most inspired names, are they? Or rather, maybe a little too inspired. Yeah, a lot of Titans tend to share parts of their names, but that's usually if they're sharing designs/molds. Metroplex and Metrotitan, for instance, or the trinity of Fortress Maximus, Grand Maximus, and Brave Maximus. But then, our friends over at Tformers seem inclined to think that he(?) has roots in the Metroplex lineage, so that might make sense and/or influence your voting. Personally, I'm reminded more of Titans Return Fortress Maximus, except they built additional pylons on the shoulders. But speaking of Tformers, they've got the comic in all its bizarre hexagonal glory over there, so go give it a gander! With all that squared away, which name appeals to you the most? Personally, I think they should split the difference, and go with "Turbine Powerplex." Eh, maybe there will be a tie. But tell us what you think in the comments below! And if you're so inclined, I don't think we have a thread for this yet in our forums, so maybe you can start one in our forums? Oh, wait -- while I was typing this, someone brought it up in the "Energon Universe - ongoing Transformers and G.I. Joe comics from Skybound" thread. Sure, that works for now, too.

At San Diego Comic-Con, Skybound, Image, and Hasbro dropped a trailer for an upcoming event -- or rather, events -- that are coming soon to the comic book universe shared between Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Void Rivals. Have a look-see: And here's the text from the trailer, all laid out nice and neat behind a spoiler tag, in case the video is a no-go for you as you're reading this: Transformers: Daniel Warren Johnson - Jorge Corona - Mike Spicer Robert Kirkman - Dan Mora - Mike Spicer The new era begins October 2025 G.I. Joe: Joshua Williamson - Tom Reilly - Andrea Milana - Jordie Bellaire - Lee Loughridge begins November 2025 Void Rivals: Robert Kickman - Conor Hughes - Andrei Bressan - Patricio Delpeche begins December 2025 If you need to find a local comic book shop, you can try ComicShopLocator.com.

In some sad news today, it has been revealed by Mark Waid that Jim Shooter, the former Editor-in-Chief at Marvel Comics and co-creator of The Transformers, has passed at the age of 73 as a result of losing his ongoing battle against esophageal cancer. From Waid's Facebook post: Shooter had a long and storied career in the world of comics, beginning by writing for DC at the aforementioned age of 14, and rising to become the Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics, where he wrote the original Secret Wars crossover, among many other books. After leaving Marvel, he would go on to help found Valiant Comics ('90s publisher of the Nintendo Comics System line of books and World Wrestling Federation comics, to say nothing of in-house properties such as Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, Magnus, Robot Fighter, Solar, Man of the Atom, and X-O Manowar), as well as Defiant Comics and Broadway Video offshoot Broadway Comics, and has been involved in the industry in various other ways since. Of course, the main reason we're talking about this here today is that it's entirely possible there would be no "here" today without Shooter's efforts. During his run at Marvel, Shooter is the one who wrote the original six-page treatment (which you can read for yourself here) for what we know today as "The Transformers." After first trying out Denny O'Neil for character treatments, he would then hand the reins over to Bob Budiansky. And the rest... is history. For his part in, let's face it, shaping many of our lives in one way or another, we say "Thank you, Jim." And may he rest in peace.

Coming from website Bleeding Cool, they offer up the rumor that Robert Kirkman and Skybound Stufios have (potentially) sold an animated series based upon their Energon Universe. I.e. Transformers, G.I. Joe and Void Rivals. Click here to read the full article, or check out the highlights below. So then, what do you think of this rumor? Do you believe it? Would you be interested in seeing the Energon Universe make the jump to animation? Whatever you thoughts, comment below, follow the links, or join the Skybound discussion in our Energon Universe thread.

Let's just bring you up to speed. In 2007, David Steinberger, John Roberts, and Peter Jaffe founded ComiXology. And it was good. Then, in 2014, they sold it to Amazon. That was less good. “At the time, it seemed like the right decision,” Mr. Steinberger told The New York Times. “Our mission was to make everyone on the planet a comic fan, and Amazon clearly had the resources and the population connected to Kindle that we thought would carry that mission. With what I knew then, it was absolutely the right call.” The goodness continued its decline as Amazon would fold ComiXology into their Kindle service in 2022, all but completely shuttering the brand. People were already unhappy, but this just made them more so. But now, Steinberger and his new partner, fellow ComiXology veteran Chip Mosher (who sounds like he'd be a blast at parties), are back with a new service that seems poised to fill the void left behind by the demise of ComiXology. Enter: Neon Ichiban. After raising over $7 million from movie and game industry investors, Steinberger and Mosher are looking to debut the new service next month. The site and its companion app aim to be "a dedicated experience for comics." “Understanding how comic book fans and people who should be fans want to shop and think about and browse doesn’t exist anymore,” Steinberger explained. “The Comixology app, where you can have all your comics in one place, does not exist anymore. It’s all just part of Kindle.” According to the Times' report, Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Oni Press, Kodansha, DSTLRY, and Vault Comics will be there at the launch, with more publishers to be named later. Naturally, one would hope that current Transformers and G.I. Joe publisher Skybound Entertainment will sign on as well. While they currently have a home on Amazon's Kindle, more options are merrier. If you're interested in getting the lay of the land and "reserving your spot" for when the site officially opens, you can head on over there now and check it out.

We're less than a month away from the release of Skybound's Transformers Compendium, Volume 1 trade paperback, and -- well, "trade" is kind of a funny term in this case. At least, if you think about the word in terms of "trading" it to someone else. This volume encompasses roughly half of the original Marvel Comics run of what we now retroactively refer to as "Generation 1." That's The Transformers #1-46, as well as the complete four-issue The Transformers: Headmasters miniseries, and amounts to roughly 1,200 pages. So, you might be wondering, "Just how much is that? How tall is a book with 1,200 pages?" Well, to answer your question, we've got Simon Furman, with possibly one of the most Simon Furman-esque answers to the question, per the picture he posted to SMOKAT of his advance copy: As you can see, it's just under one Head tall. And yes, this entire post exists purely in service to that joke. Don't take this from me. I've had a long weekend. Says the man himself, "Now THAT is a doorstop-sized* read! #Transformers #skybound *Death's Head figure for scale, yes?" If you're interested in acquiring one of these bad-boys for yourself (and remember, this is only around half the 80-issue-plus-mini-series run), then you still have time to scrounge up $64.99 before its June 10th release. Think you've got enough room for the full run on your shelf? Thanks to David Minter for the tip! Allspark Forums Discord Server X Facebook Page Bluesky Instagram

Spoilers for #19 below - In another bout of a flashback issue, Issue #19 brings us a little more of what is up with Skybound’s Megatron. When we last saw him, he brought Ravage back to life, using his own power from his chest for his revival. Now with this current issue, we know of possibly how he could attain such power, along with big story ramifications going forward. This issue starts off like us, as readers, wonder what just happened, switching gears to a insignia-less Megatron, captured and brought to an empty space by a Quintesson Prosecutor, if you are familiar with the 1986 movie and S3 of Transformers. Given the name Dezimir, he is given the task to set trials for the soon-to-be Decepticon leader, first through waves of Sharkticons, and then through his fire-breathing robo-dragon. In a time loop, Megatron keeps coming up short to winning against them, trying to defy this squid alien from making him their plaything. While Megatron’s origin will remain elusive for now, this chapter provides a little of what makes him unique in this current iteration. While he doesn’t bear a Decepticon insignia (yet), his captors are aware of his existence, and he has already failed to help his comrades. Thus, they will direct him towards a path through brutal guidance. He is mentally broken down from his boisterous, defiant personality at the beginning of this story. Only when an omnipotence voice, Dezimir’s master, speaks does the focal point of the purpose of Megatron’s trials is revealed. The Prosecutor gives a vine-like energy that wraps around Megatron, and such, another, secondary alt mode. The gun form we saw several issues back in Starscream’s origin story in #13. The one where Starscream indicates a voice calling to him; to bring destruction to those who hurt him, and then some. I have If readers have picked up on this, an occurring motif in Skybound’s Transformers has been characters doing against what they want, and the sacrificial consequences that come from it. Here, we once again see this in play, as the voice asks Dezimir, who has been gleeful in bringing Megatron down to his knees, to pick up the Megatron gun. Horrified at the prospect, Dezimir has no choice from his master, and Megatron, as an act of revenge, chooses to have the prosecutor shoot his pet, Mechanokorr, point blank. A mysterious power gifted by an unknown source, establishing Megatron as a powerful influence for the continuing Decepticon cause. What are Optimus, Starscream, the Autobots, and the rest of the Earth in store for Megatron’s return? We’ll have to see, but this issue, while a detour from the main story, gives us an iteration of Megatron that is ruthless and more capable of overpowering anyone in his path, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it plays out from this current run. Raaarrrgh! Stray Obvs!(servations): -So that omnipotent voice, what are your guesses? I think given DWJ’s preference to stick to classic G1 lore has people thinking Unicron, but I personally like to think it’s Quintus Prime. I know most Quintus iterations aren’t as dubious as his Quintessons offspring, but the whole Mind control thing for Megatron kind of speaks to his perfectionism and able to accelerate living organisms’ abilities. -Another possible clue to it being Unicron, regardless, though, was Dezimir was carrying a Matrix-shaped object inside him to give Megatron his transformation. Matrix of Conquest, perhaps, which is tied to the Planet eater himself? (It probably is this, but part of me wants to tie in more with Quintus Prime). -(Also that talk about Megatron is small compared the universe, yeah, it’s probably a given). -Anybody getting a callback to the 1986 animated movie with the line “I am a slave to no [one]”? i.e: -Some DWJ notes here. He’s really glad a fan is digging Ultra Magnus’ trauma and trying to overcome Shockwave. No Cosmos, though. Sorry Cosmos, fans. But he hasn’t forgotten Jetfire. He may be back into the story once more. - “That was not only a trial. It was a lesson”. What do you guys think of this issue? Think it's a worthy introduction to this Megatron? Think something is up with his new powers? Let us know in our Discord, Transformers forum, our Twitter, or our Facebook group! Side addendum: Hey folks, it's been a minute. I am planning on covering the beginning arcs in some big reviews. so everyone can know our thoughts on the story so far. We are really digging this unfliniching take on our favorite car robot toy things. Also getting the GI Joe Skybound reviews up and running again, and covering the first arc in general after the 6th issue concludes it. Personal stuff got in the way, but I really like talking about these comics and want to continue them one way or the other. Stay tuned! -ALArts

Skybound has announced -- or rather, teased -- a new Kickstarter which is sure to get some attention from fans of the old Marvel Comics The Transformers books -- and perhaps even more so those interested in the more obscure supplementary material produced by Marvel UK. From the Kickstarter page: Worth noting is that this would appear to be a different, more exclusive offering than the recently-solicited Transformers Compendium, Volume 1 trade paperback that was shared to our forums from Bleeding Cool by ZakuConvoy: As you can see, this version, due out on June 10th, only collects The Transformers #1-46 and the four-issue The Transformers: Headmasters limited series, with no mention of the UK stories being included at all, much less woven in. Compared to the US series' 80 issues in a four-issue limited series (plus spin-offs, etc.), the UK series ran for a whopping 332 issues, using original material to fill the gaps between the release of the US stories, which were typically divided into two parts each to fill the weekly (versus monthly) schedule. All of which is to say, if the Kickstarter winds up being comparatively priced for the amount of content against the $64.99 mass retail trade, plus the inclusion of hard covers... well, that's looking to be quite a few Shanix you'll have to fork over for the Kickstarter version. Which one are you looking to get, if any? Allspark Forums Discord Server X Facebook Page Bluesky Instagram

It has long been the stuff of Marvel and Transformers legend: When writer Simon Furman created the character of Death's Head, it was decided that Marvel should own the character, rather than Hasbro, the owner of the Transformers property, and to whom any characters who first appeared within the pages of that licensed book would belong. And so Marvel created a short, one-page comic starring the freelance peacekeeping agent called "High Noon Tex" to run in their other publications before he appeared in 1987's The Transformers #113, thus ensuring their ownership of the character. At least, that's what we were told. In the following video, Wixhael takes us through the early history of the character, statements from Simon Furman and Marvel UK Editor Richard Starkings, and shows why all the explanations as to how the character ostensibly belongs to Marvel don't really add up. What do you think? Is there more to the puzzle? Did Marvel UK pull a fast one? Is there more to the contract we don't know? Did Marvel UK even have to adhere to the same contract as drawn up by Marvel in the USA? Did Hasbro just say "Nah, you can keep him" behind closed doors? Or, as far as we know, should Hasbro be the rightful owner of Death's Head? Tell us your thoughts down below!

For those whose heads are buried deep into the Energon Universe comics, Image Comics is bringing two offerings related to Transformers for Free Comic Book Day in May 2025: - TRANSFORMERS: WORST BOT EVER SPECIAL : Say hello to a new Decepticon called Ballpoint in this small sneak peek of a brand new Transformers graphic novel. The comic will also provide a sneak peek for FAMILY FORCE V by Matt Braly and Ainsworth Lin. - ENERGON UNIVERSE SPECIAL : Similar to this year's FCBD comic, this second special will feature new stories from Transformers, GI Joe, and Void Rivals. It is designed to be a "jumping off" point for new comers of the comics, as well as bringing in new twists for current readers. Super exciting to see Image comics continue to deliver more Transformers related media. Let's just hope all the characters in these specials make it out alive and in one piece...

It’s no secret that Skybound’s new Energon Universe line of Transformers comics have been a hit. But just how big a hit have they been? Well, according to a report from Bleeding Cool, the recent release of Transformers #13, which delves into the history of the Decepticon Air Commander known to us as Starscream and how he came to become a part of the Decepticons and the war at large, will be receiving its second print run. That’s due to be available on December 11th, with two variant covers by Jason Howard (one Autobot, one Decepticon), for $3.99 USD a pop. So get your orders in now! Meanwhile, the issue that started it all — well, not all, because Void Rivals came out first — but the issue that kicked off the Transformers line, Transformers #1, is back for its tenth reprinting! By the Matrix, that’s a lot of reprints! And a lot of cover variants! Available for the slightly-higher price tag of $4.99 USD each, the prevailing logic at Skybound and Image Comics must have been “Ten reprints? Ten variant covers.” Because that’s how many they’re releasing one week after #13 hits again, on December 18th. Start rolling those nickels now! Bleeding Cool doesn’t have the images, but here are the details for each of the covers they shared: Wow. You could probably make a small quilt from all those covers. It probably wouldn’t be a very good quilt, mind, especially in the middle of December, but you could do it!
