First Look at TRANSFORMERS #18: The Epic Arc Finale!

Skybound and Image Comics, in collaboration with Hasbro, have unveiled an electrifying first look at TRANSFORMERS #18, the highly anticipated finale of Daniel Warren Johnson’s third arc. With jaw-dropping interior pages and a stunning lineup of variant covers, this milestone issue arrives in comic shops on March 12, 2025—and it promises to shake the Energon Universe to its core.

Autobots vs. Decepticons vs. Seattle

Seattle has become a battlefield as the war between the Autobots and Decepticons reaches devastating new heights. But no one—neither Autobot nor Decepticon—is prepared for what comes next. Daniel Warren Johnson (Do a Powerbomb, Extremity) and artist Jorge Corona (Middlewest) continue pushing the limits of action-packed storytelling, delivering what ComicBook.com calls “one of the most brutal battles featuring the Autobots and Decepticons to this day.”

Variant Covers Galore

Alongside the main cover by Daniel Warren Johnson and colorist Mike Spicer, TRANSFORMERS #18 boasts an incredible lineup of variants:

• Cover B by Jorge Corona & Mike Spicer
• 1:10 Incentive Variant (Connecting Cover) by Karl Kerschl (Adventures of Superman)
• 1:25 Incentive Variant by Filya Bratukhin (Harley Quinn)
• 1:50 Incentive Variant by Oliver Ono (Godzilla: Monster Island Summer Camp)

The Energon Universe Expands

As the cornerstone of the Energon Universe, TRANSFORMERS continues to redefine the legacy of the franchise under Skybound’s banner. Fans of Void Rivals by Robert Kirkman and G.I. JOE by Joshua Williamson won’t want to miss this issue, as Skybound’s interconnected storytelling unveils new secrets leading to even bigger revelations.
