The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman is taking over Transformers with plans to "methodically" expand the Energon Universe, but don't worry about buying "567 monthly titles" to keep up: "We're not looking to blow up anyone's budget"

Transformers #25.

The Transformers ongoing series is the crown jewel of Skybound Entertainment's Energon Universe, a shared Transformers/GI Joe continuity that intertwines the two beloved nostalgia franchises. With writer Daniel Warren Johnson and artist Jorge Corona stepping down after a planned 24-issue run, Skybound boss and creator of The Walking Dead and Invincible Robert Kirkman is taking over as writer with artist Dan Mora joining him on the title as of Transformers #25.

Though Kirkman undeniably has his own style and storytelling sensibilities, Kirkman tells Newsarama that his plan is to keep the transition as smooth as possible for existing readers, while also slowly, methodically expanding the Energon Universe.
