At the official Energon Universe comics panel at San Diego Comic Con last weekend, Skybound and Image Comics, in collaboration with leading games, IP and toy company Hasbro, revealed a new trailer, new covers and character designs from the shared universe in a panel featuring Robert Kirkman, Joshua Williamson, Conor Hughes and Sean Mackiewicz.<\/p>\n

That included character designs for M.A.S.K. characters Trakker’s son Scott, and his protector T-Bob, who will be introduced in upcoming issues of M.A.S.K., as seen in Image Comics’ October 2026 solicits.<\/a>..<\/p>\n

Not the only new character who has arrived in the Energon Universe, of course. Artist Conor Hughes joined the panel to reveal character designs for bounty hunter Predacron fighting Rom and hints of what’s to come in Void Rivals’ next story arc, including new artist Frank Mazzoli. G.I. Joe’s new Cobra character, Major Medusa, was revealed with some hints as to what her role might be in the coming issues with G.I. Joe #26 covers.<\/p>\n
