Skybound Comet sent us an early look at Transformers: Worst Bot Ever – Meet Ballpoint, the first in a series of OGNs by Brian Smith and Marz Jr.
“They say the pen is mightier than the sword, and unfortunately, Ballpoint takes that a bit too literally,” said Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound. “Smitty and Marz Jr. brought equal parts heart and hilarity to this series and in Ballpoint, young readers will see that even the smallest spark can make a big difference!”
The Decepticons are known for being bad…but Ballpoint is truly the worst –the biggest failure of them all. After the latest attempt to take down the Autobots goes horribly wrong, he’s kicked out of the Decepticons, for good! Will Ballpoint be able to prove his worth by defeating the Autobots all by himself? Or will he keep failing and find that being the “best” is…More than Meets the Eye?
Transformers: Worst Bot Ever – Meet Ballpoint arrives on July 9, 2025, with a cover price of $12.99.
Skybound Entertainment, Image Comics, and Hasbro announced that Ballpoint is getting a second adventure in the pages of Transformers: Worst Bot Ever – Bot Swap! by Brian Smith and Marz Jr.
Hijinx and mayhem will ensue as readers reunite with Ballpoint, a reformed Decepticon, struggling to fit in with his new Autobot friends when a mishap with an experimental weapon causes him to swap bodies with the most feared Decepticon of them all—Megatron!*Will Ballpoint’s newfound size and strength finally garner him the acceptance he deserves? But what happens when the mighty Megatron suddenly finds himself in the itty-bitty body of the Worst Bot Ever?
“I’m absolutely thrilled to deliver more adventures of the bot with the biggest ego (and even bigger heart),” said Brian “Smitty” Smith. “Ballpoint has made an immediate impact with TRANSFORMERS fans of all ages, you’re gonna want to buckle up for this next ride!”
Transformers: Worst Bot Ever – Bot Swap! is scheduled to arrive on June 17, 2026, with a cover price of $12.99.
