Transformers #1 and Void Rivals #1, the launch titles of Hasbro, Skybound and Image Comics' Energon Universe comic book line, are getting eleventh printings in September 2025, after San Diego Comic-Con, where you will probably get to see them – and hear them. Because the eleventh 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 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.VOID RIVALS #1 (New Printing With Sound Chip)
