Skybound has provided us with a four page preview of their upcoming Transformers #1, which hits comic shops next month. This preview is mostly comprised of the same preview pages that were printed in the back of Void Rivals #3. They've also supplied us with a handy list of variant covers and images of those, but be forewarned this list does not encompass the plethora of retailer exclusive cover options that are sure to be available. You can check out the accompanying press release and the comic pages themselves below.

YOUR FIRST LOOK AT DANIEL WARREN JOHNSON’S TRANSFORMERS #1
The Next Series in the Energon Universe Launches This October


LOS ANGELES 08/30/2023 — Today Skybound, in collaboration with leading toy and game company Hasbro, revealed an impressive lineup of variant covers and a first look at interior pages of Daniel Warren Johnson’s hugely anticipated Transformers #1. The second series in the recently launched Energon Universe, Transformers will debut on shelves in comic book shops beginning October 4, 2023.

Transformers #1 begins an all-new era for the iconic Transformers franchise from Daniel Warren Johnson (Extremity, Do a Powerbomb, DC’s Wonder Woman: Dead Earth) and colorist Mike Spicer (Stillwater, Murder Falcon). Optimus Prime was supposed to have led the Autobots to victory. Instead, the fate of Cybertron is unknown, and his allies have crash-landed far from home, alongside their enemies—the Decepticons. As these titanic forces renew their war on Earth, one thing is immediately clear: the planet will never be the same. New alliances are struck. Battle lines are redrawn. Humanity’s only hope for survival is Optimus Prime.

The recently announced rosters of Autobots and Decepticons headlining the first story arc of the all-new Transformers series include Autobots Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Cliffjumper, Arcee, and Wheeljack, and Decepticons Starscream, Rumble, Skywarp, Laserbeak, and Soundwave.

In addition to the already-iconic main cover by Daniel Warren Johnson and Mike Spicer, the stacked list of variant covers for Transformers #1 includes Autobot and Decepticon covers by Johnson and Spicer, a cover by iconic artist Ryan Ottley (Invincible), a 1:10 incentive variant that kicks off a connecting cover series by Orlando Arocena (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), a 1:25 incentive variant by Cliff Chiang Paper Girls), a 1:50 incentive variant by Francis Manapul (The Flash), a 1:100 incentive variant by Ian Bertram (Little Bird), and finally, an open-to-order blank sketch cover.

The Energon Universe officially began in June 2023 with the surprise first appearance of iconic Transformers character Jetfire in Void Rivals #1, introducing the historic new collaboration between Hasbro and Skybound, with Transformers and G.I. Joe comics finding a new home with the publisher. The Energon Universe expands in December with Duke #1, a limited series from Joshua Williamson (DC’s Superman, Dark Ride), Tom Reilly (The Thing) and Jordie Bellaire (W0rldtr33). This will be followed by the launch of Cobra Commander #1 in January 2024, from Joshua Williamson, Andrea Milana (Impact Winter: Rook) and Annalisa Leoni (Oblivion Song).

Transformers #1 (Lunar Codes Below | $4.99) will be available at comic book shops and digital platforms including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, comiXology, and Google Play on Wednesday, October 4, 2023.

The full list of variant covers is below:
  • Transformers #1 Cover A by Daniel Warren Johnson & Mike Spicer (Lunar Code 0623IM805)
  • Transformers #1 Cover B by Daniel Warren Johnson & Mike Spicer (Autobot) (Lunar Code 0823IM287)

Hot on the heels about news regarding a My Little Pony / Transformers crossover graphic novel called "Friendship in Disguise", we find out from our friends at IDW Publishing, that the graphic novel will be released earlier this year as individual issues available weekly in May 2020. Here's the press release from IDW ...

IDW Publishing wrote:A May 2020 Four-Week Crossover Event!

SAN DIEGO, CA (February 6, 2020) – When the Mane Six gallop alongside Autobots in battle, the forces of villainy stand no chance! IDW Publishing (OTCQX: IDWM), under license by Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), welcomes comic fans of all ages to enjoy the wildest crossover of Hasbro creations ever: MY LITTLE PONY / TRANSFORMERS, a four-issue miniseries shipping weekly in May!

In MY LITTLE PONY / TRANSFORMERS, the scheming Queen Chrysalis casts a spell in search of changeling allies, but accidentally interferes with a distant Cybertronian Spacebridge… and brings the Autobots and Decepticons to Equestria! As the dust settles, it's up to Twilight Sparkle, Optimus Prime, and others to overcome the menace of malevolent magic and machinery!

MY LITTLE PONY / TRANSFORMERS assembles an all-star team of comic creators for this mind-blowing series: writers James Asmus, Ian Flynn, and Sam Maggs, and artists Casey W. Coller, Jack Lawrence, Sara Pitre-Durocher, Priscilla Tramontano, and Tony Fleecs (who also provides cover artwork for the entirety of the series).

"The writing I've gotten to do individually for MY LITTLE PONY and TRANSFORMERS have already proven to be some of the most fun I've had in my career, so it's pure joy to play them off each other," says Asmus. "We're making a wild mash-up unlike anything else in your comic collection. You basically owe it to yourself and your future happiness to get a copy!"

"It's been a delightful challenge finding common threads between the ponies and bots. It's certainly a fun and unique opportunity," says Flynn. "I hope fans of both franchises can come together and enjoy this."

"MY LITTLE PONY and TRANSFORMERS are two of my all-time favorite universes. Having written for them both previously, the idea of bringing the citizens of Equestria and Cybertron together is incredibly exciting," says Maggs.


"Teaming TRANSFORMERS and MY LITTLE PONY has been a dream we've had for a long time," says IDW Editor-In-Chief John Barber. "We're all really excited to see this mashup of characters by a mashup of creators who are honoring the legacy of both universes… and doing it in the most bonkers, fun way imaginable!"

For information on how to acquire copies of MY LITTLE PONY / TRANSFORMERS, please contact Seibertron.com about how to pre-order this product, or contact your local comic shop, or visit http://www.comicshoplocator.com to find a store near you.

Thank you to Paramount Home Media, Seibertron.com received a copy yesterday of the Bumblebee movie. Here's a full rundown plus descriptions from yours truly of all of the special features and bonus material included on the Bumblebee 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray set.

BONUS FEATURES ON 4K ULTRA HD COMBO, BLU-RAY COMBO & DIGITAL

  • Sector 7 Archive
    • Agent Burns: Welcome to Sector 7 - brief "recruit deployment" scene with Agent Burns (John Cena) who introduces us to Sector 7 at the Hoover Dam and teases introducing us to NBE-01.
    • Sector 7 Adventures: The Battle at Half Dome - motion comic of the comic book included with this set. Also has a couple extra scenes at the end where we are introduced to NBE-01 Megatron. I'm not a big fan of motion comics so take this for what you will. The level of acting seems similiar to video storybooks intended for young children. My copy included the actual comic as well, which was printed on nice glossy paper, with the cover feeling like it was printed on a nicer card stock (similar to postcards or business cards). Surprisingly, the comic was made by Avalanche Comics Entertainment instead of IDW.
  • Deleted and Extended Scenes
    • Original Opening - a different opening scene shown from Bumblebee's perspective, narrated by Bumblebee, as he's hunted by Agent Burns and friends in the forest. I'm really glad they did not use this as the opening scene. Bumblebee has a bit of a negative attitude in this scene, which does not seem like his normal personality. Kudos for someone catching this and removing this opening scene.
    • Drive to karate class - scene between Charlie and her brother Otis, who was holding onto Charlie's moped while riding on his skateboard. She arrives to her job at the Hot Dog on a Stick at the boardwalk carnival. Charlie's friends talk to her about her being different since her dad died.
    • Birthday present - Charlie's Mom (Sally) and her mom's boyfriend (Ron) present her with two gifts, of which she's not a fan.
    • Car wash and Beetle breakdown - Charlie and her brother Otis give Bumblebee a bath. Later in this scene, Bumblebee breaks down in the middle of an intersection as cars drive by with horns honking.
    • Charlie drops off Mom and Conan - After dropping them off, head to beach scene with Bumblebee practicing his disguise. In this version, he grabs her by the legs to shake off the sand from when he transformed.
    • Decepticons inspect the armory - near finished animated scene featuring Shatter and Dropkick. Dropkick adapts some new weapons from the military vehicles.
    • Drive to Cliff - Scene between Charlie and Memo where he discusses Bumblebee being a Go-Bot. Apparently Go-Bots are actual toys in this universe. Glad they cut out this scene. Much better ways to reference Go-Bots or the rivalry between the two brands back in the 1980s.
    • Sector 7 - couple of Sector 7 agents discussing who made the first machine and the Transformers god. Shatter and Dropkick discuss closing in on their target with Agent Burns.
    • Appliance War - Energon power surge that happened when Bumblebee connected with electrical socket. Dishwasher monster attacks Charlie and Memo, as well as the Fridge, TV and Alarm Clock monsters which were created by the Energon power surge.
  • Outtakes
    • Burn meets Bee - John Cena has a bit of fun when he first sees Bumblebee in forest.
    • War room - John Cena has some fun with the other actors after he answers the red phone and "pretends" to talk to the President.
    • There's a door in my way - Agent Burns talks about the Facts of Life to Simmons and that it's OK if he opens up to him. Has secret crush on Natalie. Guy that is supposed to blow up the door has wires tangled. Kind of wish they had left this in, sort of funny watching how long it takes the guy to untangle the wires. LOL.
    • Charlie in trash - scene at the tower toward end of movie. Bumblebee versus Dropkick. Dropkick's missile hits the dumpster Charlie is hiding in and it doesn't go off. She states "well, that didn't work" and then it goes off.
    • Saved the world - Memo and Agent Burns different takes with their conversation at the end after Memo arrives after battle.
  • Bee Vision: The Transformers robots of Cybertron - I liked most of the bonus features on this set, but found this one to be disappointing. I get what they were trying to do here by having a profile screen show up as new Transformers characters are shown during the Cybertron battle scenes, but there are some inconsistencies. Not all of the characters get their bio screen, or they get it later instead of when they first show up (such as Soundwave and Shockwave). While I like that the bio screens list the character's alt mode, I don't like that it looks like someone just went to a Wikipedia page and happened to see that Arcee also turned into a spider at one point (courtesy of BotCon) or that Wheeljack turned into a Ford Mustang (courtesy of the Alternators line). Those transformations are small fictional offshots from the main storyline and shouldn't have been listed. It struck me as ill-informed. Some fans might like the inclusion of these one-off alt-modes as a nods to where these characters have been, but it seems really out of place in the movie universe. It's also inconsistent that it doesn't mention other alt forms that Starscream has taken if they are going to go that route. Wish they had just kept it to their current alt forms (and/or their movie universe alt forms).
  • Bringing Bumblebee to the Big Screen (featurettes)
    • The Story of Bumblebee - featurette about the story direction of Bumblebee, his character, etc, told through various Producers and people who worked on the movie
    • The Stars Align - featurette about casting Hailee Steinfeld and John Cena for lead roles of Charlie Watson and Agent Burns respectively.
    • Bumblebee Goes Back to G1 - artists discussing using G1 as source material or launching point for recreating these characters in the "real" world. Also discuss animating Bumblebee, complexity, expressions, the Decepticons Blitzwing, Shatter, and Dropkick, and so on. There is NO discussion about Blitzwing's similarties to Starscream.
    • Back to the Beetle - behind the scenes look at Bumblebee as a Beetle, total of 8 Volkswagen Beetles available for use in movie including 1 electric Beetle that they custom built. Interesting look at the magic of Hollywood doing its thing with Bumblebee.
    • California Cruisin' Down Memory Lane - featurette with primary focus about recreating that 1980s look with the house, town, sets, cars, making Charlie's look stand out from other characters, location scouting, Santa Cruz boardwalk set, San Francisco bridge, redwood forest, showing off California, etc.

About Bumblebee:

Faction: Autobot

Class: Scout

Small, eager, and brave, Bumblebee acts as messenger and spy. Due to his small size, he dares to go where others can’t. He idolizes the bigger Autobots, especially Optimus Prime and Prowl while having a special bond with all his human allies.
Stats and Abilities:

2-Star:

Health: 1417
Attack: 151
Max Rating: 566

Critical Hits:

100% Chance to Break the opponent’s Shielding, completely Nullifying all Shields and inflicting Shock, dealing 50~90% Energy Damage over 5 seconds.

Signature Ability – Bee Brave

Bumblebee isn’t the strongest or toughest bot, but while staying close to his enemy, he channels his unparalleled courage.

Bumblebee generates 2~4.0 of Remaining Max Power every second and gains a 10% Melee Bonus while the enemy is within close range.

Special Attacks:

Special 1 – Gold Boot

Bumblebee delivers a spinning windmill kick.

100% chance to increase Critical Damage by 60% for the duration of this Special Attack.

Special 2 – Power Jam

Bumblebee overcharges his pistol to fry his enemy’s systems before knocking them off their feet.

100% chance to Power Lock the opponent for 10 seconds.

Special 3 – Ticket to Ride

Bumblebee’s wheeled combat comes together with his love of ranged attacks.

Grants 20 Critical Rate Buffs that each increase Critical Rating by 20~28%. These buffs are removed each time this bot lands a hit.

Synergy Bonuses:

Incoming – Role Models – Optimus, Prowl

Heavy Attacks gain +2~5% Attack Buff for each alive team member.

Outgoing – Role Models – Optimus, Prowl

+2~8% Armor

Incoming – Espionage Specialists – Mirage

14~70% less likely to activate opponent’s abilities when using Sp2 and Sp3.

Incoming – Allies – Arcee, Grimlock

+2~8% Armor

Strong Match-ups:

Rhinox – Bumblebee will tear through Rhinox’s shielding, leaving him prime for Bee’s critical hits.
Soundwave – Bee can Shield Break with both Ranged and Melee his, ensuring even the mighty Soundwave can’t Reflect Ranged attacks for long.

Weak Match-ups:

Bonecrusher – The master of Bleeds will punish Bumblebee with every crit.
Dinobot – Bumblebee is rewarded for dashing at opponent’s and staying near them, but dashing into and hitting Dinobot’s block would be a painful mistake.

Recommended Modules for Bumblebee:

Nightbird’s Mark – With both his two major abilities boosted, Bumblebee will become exponentially more powerful.
EMI Module – Bee will gain the ability to Evade Ranged Attacks, forcing you to stay within Melee Range and in turn allowing him to generate power with his Signature Ability.

Following the big news that fans can vote for the next Prime, the Transformers Facebook page has posted a poster for the upcoming event! The new poster advertises the big question: Who's your Prime? and features 9 different character arts surrounding an image of Optimus Prime holding the matrix: Shockwave, Megatron, Arcee, Hound, Ultra Magnus, Optimus Primal, Star Saber, Thunderwing, and "unknown evil" who really looks like Deathsaurus. This poster, coupled with the original press release does leave the question though: are one of these 9 supposed to ascend to Prime-hood, or are we making a new, original Prime from an original character? Speculate in the forums below, and check out the poster below!
