The anticipated crossover between the universes of Transformers and GI Joe is set to debut in issues 19 and 20 of GI Joe, written by Joshua Williamson and with art by Andrea Milana, starting in February and March 2026. This encounter will not only promise action but will also introduce the character Matt Trakker from MASK, who is described in the Energon Universe as “the most wanted man in America.”

A crossover that aims to make history

The fusion of these iconic 80s universes is set to be a significant event in the narrative of the Energon Universe. For the first time, the famous leaders of these sagas, Duke from GI Joe and Optimus Prime from Transformers, will face off in a showdown that fans have been waiting for. Skybound, the studio responsible for the Energon Universe, has raised questions about this historic moment, suggesting that the plot will revolve around Clutch, Autobot Hound, and the enigmatic Trakker.

Issues 19 and 20 of GI Joe will be released on February 18 and March 18, 2026, respectively, and are expected to capture the attention of fans from both universes and new readers. The visual work of Andrea Milana, complemented by the colors of Lee Loughridge, adds an additional appeal to the series, promising vibrant illustrations that capture the essence of these iconic characters.

For those eager to delve into this new chapter of the Energon Universe, a recent interview with Robert Kirkman, the creator of the universe, offers details about what is to come in the Transformers franchise. In this conversation, Kirkman emphasizes the importance of alliances and conflicts among these legendary characters, hinting that the future of the narrative is full of surprises.

You may not believe it, but GI Joe comics are experiencing a second wind

Y no solo eso: el número 1 de ‘Comandante Cobra’ ya ha superado los 100.000 ejemplares vendidos, ‘Transformers’ ha superado los 200.000

‘GI Joe’ has been entertaining children and bringing the “American way of life” to households around the world for 60 years. The first dolls were born in 1963, although most of us remember them for their figures from the 80s, the animated series, and the Marvel comics. And now, in 2024, after they were all but forgotten beyond the cameos in ‘Transformers’ movies, they’ve come back stronger than ever.

The Great American Hero!

The individual ‘GI Joe’ comics written by professionals like Kelly Thompson (‘Scarlett’) or Dan Watters (‘Destro’) have been printed, in the United States alone, in excess of 80,000 copies each, records that the franchise had not seen for at least twenty years. And it’s especially remarkable in these times of paper crisis and unthinkable prices.

And not only that… the number 1 ‘Comandante Cobra’ has already surpassed 100,000 copies sold, ‘Transformers’ has surpassed 200,000, and everything seems to point to a rebirth of Hasbro in comics and ‘GI Joe’ in particular, which still won’t announce its next regular series (which, obviously, will arrive sooner rather than later). With some of these comics even surpassing Spiderman and Batman in sales, is it possible we’re seeing a full-fledged change in the industry? It certainly could be. Nothing stays the same forever…
