Image Comics’ Energon Universe will be going some big changes with the announcement of the new creative team for the Transformers creative team with writer Robert Kirkman and artist Dan Mora starting with Transformers # 25.

To ensure some sense of continuity colorist Mike Spicer and letterer Rus Wooton remain. Meanwhile writer Daniel Warren Johnson will be moving away.

And hey it looks like we’ll be seeing more of Ultra Magnus and Arcee starting with Transformers # 25.

“A perfect jumping on point for new readers, issue #25 will also feature a stunning story from Kirkman and current series artist Jorge Corona (Ain’t No Grave).”
“Holy smokes, I’m writing a TRANSFORMERS comic!” said Kirkman. “I’ve been so invested in this series since the beginning. I’ve marveled at what Daniel Warren Johnson and Jorge Corona have brought to some of my all-time favorite characters. When Daniel’s run came to an end, I could stand on the sidelines no more! I just had to get in the ring! It’s a tremendous honor to be a small part of the legacy of these amazing characters. This world has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I can’t wait for everyone to see what the legendary Dan Mora and I are cooking up!”

“I’ve been a huge TRANSFORMERS fan ever since I can remember, so it’s been a real thrill to come aboard the series with the equally thrilling Robert Kirkman,” said Dan Mora. “I’ve also been a huge fan of Daniel Warren Johnson and Jorge Corona, and what they’ve done on this title has literally been out of this world. Drawing my favorite Autobots and Decepticons brings me back to all of the fun I had playing with them as a kid, so I hope to add my own spark to their legacy and can’t wait for fans to see what Robert and I have been toying with for the Energon Universe next!”
