The confirmation for Transformers #81 isn't the only Transformers comic related news from this years SDCC, please read the following transcript of Hasbro's and IDW's "Transformations" panel by Supreme Convoy.

  • The new Transformers editor Carlos Guzman recapped that the ongoing Transformers series bi-weekly for the Chaos Theory arc in #22 & 23 with James Roberts & Alex Milne
  • #24 will being Mike Costa, James Roberts, & Livio Ramondelli Chaos arc will have the Transformers going back to Cybertron “where things get crazy.”
  • #25 will be the Police Action arc with Mike Costa and Brandon
  • IDW revealed that #125 is the total of all the IDW Transformers comics published. They revealed the issue will be titled The Death of Optimus Prime, which shocked the crowd.
  • IDW also announced a digital exclusive comic called Autocracy, which will be an 8 page comic released bi-weekly, written by Flint Dille, Chris Mowry, and Livio Ramondelli.
  • IDW announced after #125, there will be two brand new ongoings. Transformers: Robots in Disguise by John Barber and Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye by James Roberts. These will not be a series reboot and will pick up after the events of Chaos.
  • Mike Costa’s run will come to an end with Chaos. Everything he’s been building to will culminate with this arc. This was the story he had to tell and it was time to hand off the Transformers to new creative teams. He however, will stay on Cobra.
  • On the GI Joe front the biggest announcement was after the Cobra Civil War there will be an arc called Cobra Command, featuring the first mission by the new (still yet to be revealed) Cobra Commander.
  • During the panel, IDW also announced they have the Magic: The Gathering license and will make comics with the franchise in the future.
  • In regards to Transformers #81, Chris Ryall said that there wasn’t enough interest to pursue it. During BotCon, he did a poll with the attendees. Fans seemed to want more Animated comics as opposed to following up with the Marvel run.
  • At the very end of the panel, Chris Ryall pulled the rug out from under us and showed us the last slide. “FURMAN & WILDMAN. TRANSFORMERS #81. 2012.” The room went CRAZY. Ryall said that they’ve been listening to fans on Twitter and fan polls, fan petitions and are giving us what we want. The plan is to publish #81 through #100, wrapping up everything Simon Furman had planned.
  • I asked the panel about #125. Will Bumblebee become a Prime? Mike Costa said, “I can’t answer that, senator.” (It’s this fan’s hope Bumblebee becomes a Prime!) Ryall did say that they have big plans for the character.
  • A fan asked if there are plans to wrap up the Dreamwave storylines. Another fan screamed, “Boo!” The room laughed and the panel said there were no plans.
  • Ryall teased that there are plans for a Transformers/GI Joe crossover
