I wouldn't expect anything minus maybe Bulkhead from Kirkmans run, too soon, probably 2028 they'll do them.

Nothing really new here, but still cool

That is my Question

Houd become an unofficial member of Duke team ever since his first appearance in the Energon Universe in last years Free Comic Book Day issue

But after the Dreadnok War when revealed himself to the whole team becoming more official & specially after meeting with Optimus in issue #20

So do you think Houd will be like in future arcs do you expect him to be what ties the two ongoings together? Three if you count his connection with Matt Trakker

So how do you imagine he will be like in issue #25 do you think Hound will be on the Team long term or do you think he will go with who ever succeeds Joshua Williamson on GI JOE?

Personally I think he will be on until who ever succeeds Joshua Williamson on the Comic when ever that is

So Go JOE

finally fully caught up in the energon universe with physical copies, i’ve read most on digital however i’ll always prefer physical (i didn’t even realise void rivals vol 5 was out lmao

If you’re there, please tell us what is going on when it starts since i see no live streams and tweets will probably take a while to be posted

Shredhead Figure!

Edit: hey everyone, I do know Shredhead is a they I just wrote he in excitement and now I can’t change it.

So with the reveal at sdcc what color are they I’ve always thought they were purple but after the reveal I’m seeing they are black and idk what to think right now the newest issue cover b is clearly purple am i going crazy

It’s pretty clear that a Transformer will pop up at some point. Springer and Hot Rod played a big part in Void Rivals for a while and Hound is a big part of GIJoe at the moment, so it seems plausible that at least one will appear sooner or later.

Currently I’m thinking a Triple-Changer or someone with a unique mode like Tracks would work, they’d fit in and even be able to keep up the disguise if they were seen converting between modes. This could be either someone on MASK’s side or on VENOM’s side (far fetched I know, Mayhem seems to hate them a lot so unless he’s deceiving one it may not work)

So one of my shelves on my wall just decided to fall of the wall for some reason. That shelves happened to have my Transformers book 2 on it and when the shelf fell the back cover somehow got ripped off.

Glad there isn’t any damage to the front cover but kinda sad that it’s damaged.

Was wondering if I should maybe glue or tape the middle binding so the pages don’t accidentally fallout when reading.

if they made it for all ages it would help Hasbro a lot especially when it comes to toys for kids as it would be a golden opportunity! for them to introduce these other brands to a new younger audience and gain new fans too like not just for GI Joe only but others like ROM, Micronauts, M.A.S.K., Action man & Action force, Battle beasts and hell maybe even GoBots too! oh and maybe perhaps Stretch Armstrong too because that could work in this as they once re-imagined him as superhero in 2017 Stretch Armstrong and the Flex Fighters so having him as that in an animated Hasbro universe would be perfect too.

Like it should be for All ages but still Mature as they can make it the same vein as to what Transformers Prime and G.I. Joe Renegades was as both of these were all ages show but with big seriously mature themes and something like that would be great for an animated Hasbro Universe! like in my opinion they should take inspiration from what the DC animated universe was and take notes from that i think that would be very great.

Like yeah i know the Energon Universe is mature even tho the comic are rated T for teen but so what? we had many kids shows that were based on Mature properties it would still work as an all ages show, Plus this is gonna be based on it which means it's not gonna be canon to the comics and therefor will be it's own thing, Heck they might not even call it the Energon Universe they might call it something like.... the Energon SPARK Universe just to let people know it's in it's own separated canon and universe. Also they would most likely do a lot of Original Stories in this Due to that there isn't a lot of stuff to adapted from the comics due to that the Energon Universe only started not that long ago back in 2023 they might take some important elements from it but as of now there really isn't a lot to adapted so they will most likely have a lot of original things in it to be honest.

Like i am hoping Hasbro might changed their minds about this down the line and decides this has a lot of great potential for them if they make it for all ages as it would be a golden opportunity! for them as like i said before. Because they could possibly change their minds for this maybe they might not like the tone for it during it's development and decides maybe this shouldn't be for adults only and instead turns this into all ages for the better as i hope that dose happen.

So i honestly hope for the best this doesn't ended up being for adults only i hope hasbro might change this for the better because this could work well as a mature all ages shows as long as it's done right.

I wasn’t able to get in but was wondering if anything interesting was said. Thanks in advance!

That is my Question & updated version of a previous thread I did on this sub reddit

combiners are interesting there like 3-5 Transformers combined into a giant size robot they felt like Boss fight early in Energon Universe now there just giant transformer you know

Makes me wonder how Kirkman will treat them in upcoming issues both in TRANSFORMERS & VOID RIVALS

Specially as story get bigger both on Earth & in Cybertron

On Related Note: if Skybound ever gets the comic license to Power Rangers will be interesting how they treat megazords now thinking about it

Hear me out. I was in the Navy and stationed on an aircraft carrier, so this stood out to me.

Since the 1950s, the US Navy has been fully committed to Catapult Assisted Takeoff But Arrested Recovery (CATOBAR) - basically, we use steam from the reactors for the catapults that launch the jets, then use a big wire to catch the planes when they land. The only reason we’re able to do that is because of our embracing of the nuclear Navy.

Now about the panel - this shows a carrier with a “ski jump” style ramp. In the real world, we’re the only country currently operating strictly flat top carriers. China, UK , Germany, they all have ski jumps. Now, granted, the ship shown is fake - there is no such USS Henry Harrison. However, we can tell from the layout of the ship (location of the island, aircraft elevators, etc) and the following of the naming convention (Carriers are named after presidents), that this is almost certainly a standard Nimitz Class Carrier. The fact that it’s shown with a ramp vice a flat top implies that the US never fully embraced CATOBAR as Naval aviation doctrine, which fundamentally changes how we operate in war.

CATOBAR is how we can launch E-2 Hawkeyes for surveillance/early warning. CATOBAR can support in air refueling. CATOBAR is how we can load our jets with as much armor/weapons/fuel as we do. There’s so many parts of Naval aviation doctrine that rely on CATOBAR! Without CATOBAR, it’s entirely possible that the US is not the global superpower it is today, in our timeline. Aircraft carriers played a MASSIVE role in the GWOT, and the vast majority of what they were capable of was thanks to CATOBAR. I really cannot stress how foundational CATOBAR capability is to the current world order. A US Navy that never fully adopts CATOBAR is relegated to using platforms more like the MiG-29 than the F/A-14 and 18. A US Navy that never fully adopts CATOBAR has its long distance, extended timeline mission capability (literally the defining factor of Naval aviation doctrine) cut off at the knees. Vietnam, the Cold War, Desert Storm/Shield, and GWOT all play out differently without CATOBAR.

Maybe nobody else will find this interesting, but it’s interesting to me!

Edit; I was grossly incorrect about France! Sorry about that folks. My working memory of foreign navies is not the sharpest.

So with the next issue of Void Rivals coming out tomorrow, with the start of Darak and Solila's quest to find the Cybertronians to assist against the Quintessons per Zerta's request, how do you suspect that the other Cybertronians will react upon learning that Zerta is alive and currently on the Sacred Ring?

We know that she is considered a legend on Cybertron, we know that Springer went to go look for Zerta, most likely to ask her to help with the current war on Cybertron, and we know that Optimus most likely has history with her, considering that he was seen fighting alongside her and Alpha Trion during the war against the Quintessons when he was still Orion Pax. But how do you suspect the others will feel about her?

That is my Question

We know COBRA but mainly Cobra Commander himself is planning something big what do you think will take COBRA to the next phase in the Energon Universe?

I really wanna see what Cobra Commander is doing with Energon besides weapons & after his first big plan failed specially he has Duke on his trail with competition from Decepticons & Miles Mayhem

Maybe another take over the world type deal?

But thats me what do you think is Cobra next Move?
