Skybounds latest next comic will be about a Transformer that turns into a Pen, called Ballpoint. The comic itself is called Transformers Worst Bot Ever: Meet Ballpoint and it's written by Brian “Smitty” Smith (Pea, Bee, and Jay) and artist Marz Jr. (the Void Rivals cover artist). This will be released as a 96 page graphic novel on July 9 of this year. It's written for kids ages 8-12:

He’s the littlest Decepticon with the biggest dreams to take down the Autobots – Meet BALLPOINT in Transformers: Worst Bot Ever, a new adventure graphic novel for young readers!

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?

Brian “Smitty” Smith (Pea, Bee, and Jay) and Marz Jr. introduce middle-grade readers (ages 8-12) to the misadventures of the bot who is mightier than the sword in TRANSFORMERS: WORST BOT EVER: MEET BALLPOINT.

I thought the worst bot ever title was already held by a (self-insert?) bot who turned into a decoration.

There are a more pages at AIPT: https://aiptcomics.com/2025/01/28/skybo ... ballpoint/

Sky Spy's a human-grade low-tech propeller drone? Cybertronian data storage is a 90's ZIP-based (100MB per disk, baby!) Media Drive?

This is peak. PEAK!

I feel some of the jokes are a little too targeted for the Geewuners amongst us (e.g. FIRRIB/FIBRIR) and will probably confuse/lost on young fans though (said the comic's targeted for age 8-12)
