This should be a surprise, and not, as news is just in that Skybound will be releasing "VOID RIVALS", a new series to be distributed by Image Comics that is reported to include Transformers & GI Joe, as reported by Bleeding Cool:
According to Bleeding Cool, the Transformers don't show up until later in the series. The first issue of VOID RIVALS will be out next week, June 14, 2023. It is not known if Skybound will be producing any dedicated Transformers comics at this time, but it seems highly likely based on past reports. Read on to see the official comic solicitations and previews for the first three issues of VOID RIVALS:

Someone here seems to keep typing out F instead of B lately when using the acronyms?.
Until I finished reading the headline and clicked into this article, I thought we were getting a toy of Energon Universe Jetfire before Armada Universe Jetfire. Yes I know it said Skyfire but I read that as Jetfire. My head automatically translates it as such. But also because in Superlink aka Energon, his name is actually Skyfire instead of Jetfire.
Shit be confusing lately. I hate trying to look things up on Ebay and not getting what I looked for due to it lol.
