Transformers #1 and Void Rivals #1 get special premium printings, now with sound chips, coming in September 2025, from Image Comics

Transformers #1 and Void Rivals #1, the launch titles of Hasbro, Skybound and Image Comics’ Energon Universe comic book line, are getting special premium printings in September 2025, after San Diego Comic-Con, where you will probably get to see them – and hear them. Because the special premium printings of both will feature sound chips inside, triggering when you open the comic book in question. What they will say and sound like, I have no idea, but I would bet my original Ravage toy that one of them will be “roll out”. Expect a premium price to reflect the technology in use.

TRANSFORMERS #1 (New Printing With Autobot Sound Chip)
Creators: (W) Daniel Warren Johnson (A) Daniel Warren Johnson, Mike Spicer (CA) Filya Bratukhin
Release Date: September 2025
Transformers #1 begins an all-new era for the iconic robots in disguise from superstar creator Daniel Warren Johnson (Extremity, Do a Powerbomb, DC’s Wonder Woman: Dead Earth) and colorist Mike Spicer (Stillwater). 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. And humanity’s only hope of survival is Optimus Prime.
