Versions of Optimus Prime and Megatron from Transformers movies.
As the debut title of the Energon Universe, Void Rivals kicked off Skybound’s successful Transformers relaunch in the summer of 2023. Now, the flagship title continues adding to Transformers lore, and one recent Easter egg finds the publisher paying homage to 1986’s Transformers: The Movie, as the Autobot Hot Rod gets his very own lightsaber, right out of Star Wars.
The first issue ended with the shocking appearance of Jetfire, and recent issues have seen Darak and Solila team up with Autobot Springer. Fellow Autobot Hot Rod recently debuted in the Void Rivals portion of the Free Comic Book Day Energon Universe Special, and now the one-time Autobot leader makes his debut at the end of Void Rivals #11.
2 Hot Rod Ignites His "Lightsaber" As The Energon Universe's Debut Series Heats Up Void Rivals #11 – Written By Robert Kirkman; Art By Lorenzo De Felici, Patricio Delpeche & Rus Wooton Transformers has proven itself to be just as resilient as the Star Wars franchise throughout the four decades of its existence.
Including the laser dagger in the issue is a fun little Easter egg for die-hard Transformers fans, and it also pays homage to a fellow space opera franchise in Star Wars. It’s hard to believe that a toy-line of repurposed Japanese robots is celebrating its fortieth anniversary this year, but Transformers has proven itself to be just as resilient as the Star Wars franchise throughout the four decades of its existence.
