THE QUINTESSON WAR is at its end! Sacrifices are made! Lives are lost! Life on the Sacred Ring will be changed forever! The most cataclysmic story of the Energon Universe ends here! (Next issue we’ll check in on Skuxxoid to provide a bit of a breather, you’re going to need it!)
Skybound, Image Comics, and Hasbro have revealed interior pages and the lineup of variant covers for Void Rivals #31. From the talented creative team of writer Robert Kirkman, artist Conor Hughes, colorist Patricio Delpeche, and letterer Rus Wooton, the fan-favorite Skuxxoid-centric Void Rivals #31 arrives in comic book shops on June 24, 2026.
The Skuxxoid Liberators have formed for one purpose—the downfall of Skuxxoid Alpha, freeing Skuxxoid kind from his tyrannical rule!
It’s Skuxxoid vs. Skuxxoid for all the marbles.
Void Rivals #31 will feature a main cover by co-creator Lorenzo De Felici, along with a lineup of variant covers including open-to-order covers by Conor Hughes and Ito, a 1:25 incentive variant by Mirka Andolfo, a 1:50 incentive variant by Chokoo and Adriano Lucas, a foil die cut mask cover by Andrea Milana and Andres Juarez, a blank sketch cover, and an Energon Universe anniversary variant by Tom Reilly and Adriano Lucas that will also be available in black and white.

Hasbro and Fathom Entertainment are bringing The Transformers: The Movie back to theatres for its 40th anniversary, inviting fans to relive the action, the music and yes… that moment.
The loss of Optimus Prime remains one of the most talked-about moments in franchise history. As part of the year-long “Apology Tour,” Hasbro is leaning into that shared experience, bringing fans together to grieve, heal, and reminisce at special fan events all year long, including the film’s return to theaters.
Beginning September 17, 2026, in honor of Transformers Day, the beloved 1986 animated film— presented in 4K—will roll into theatres across the U.S. with a wide theatrical release through September 21 as a special limited-run cinema experience. Select international markets are expected to launch day-and-date with the U.S.
Originally released in 1986, The Transformers: The Movie marked the franchise’s first feature film and raised the stakes in ways audiences did not see coming. What started as an epic battle between Autobots and Decepticons quickly became something more, introducing the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, the planet-devouring Unicron, and a turning point that left a generation of fans emotionally unprepared for what a children’s film could deliver.
Optimus Prime’s fall in a final showdown with arch-nemesis Megatron remains one of the most controversial moments in franchise history. Four decades later, fans are still talking about it. Now, they can experience it all over again together in theaters, this time knowing exactly what’s coming and choosing to show up anyway.
The film features an unforgettable voice cast, including Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime), Frank Welker (Megatron), Orson Welles (Unicron), Judd Nelson (Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime), Leonard Nimoy (Galvatron), Eric Idle (Wrek-Gar) and Robert Stack (Ultra Magnus).
Tickets for The Transformers: The Movie 40th Anniversary will be available later this summer and at participating theatre box offices (theatre locations are subject to change). For more information and to be among the first notified when tickets go on sale, visit Fathom Entertainment.
Alongside the cinema experience, fans can expect additional anniversary surprises across toys, merchandise, publishing, and more because 40 years later… it still hits like a truck.
