After IDW Publishing lost the licenses to produce Transformers and G.I. Joe comics by the end of 2022,[2] Hasbro announced in June 2023 that Skybound Entertainment, an imprint of Image Comics, would acquire those licenses.[3]

During San Diego Comic-Con 2023, it was revealed that Skybound has plans to reprint both the Marvel and IDW comics based on Transformers, with more info set to release later.[4]

In April 2025, Skybound opened a crowdfunding project on Kickstarter to release volumes 1–4 of the Transformers Compendium Set, which include the original comic series from the Marvel era.[5] The project was successfully funded in 2 minutes.[6]

Skybound's first Transformers comic is set in the Energon Universe, being initially written and drawn by Daniel Warren Johnson, and colored by Mike Spicer, and debuted on October 4, 2023.[9]

Johnson said, “To my readers, retailers, and fellow Transformers fans: get ready! I’ve only been drawing Optimus Prime and the rest of this amazing cast since I was in first grade. This is a dream project for me, and I’m so glad to be adding a new chapter to the decades long celebration of robots turning into cars. Also, cab-over trucks are so fun to draw!”[9]
