Ballpoint is back in first-look preview of Transformers: Worst Bot Ever – Bot Swap!

March 5, 2026 by Gary Collinson

Ex-Decepticon Ballpoint makes his return this June – and finds himself swapping bodies with the most dastardly Decepticon of all – as Skybound, Image Comics and Hasbro release the new middle grade original graphic novel Transformers: Worst Bot Ever – Bot Swap!.

The follow-up to 2025’s Meet Ballpoint, Bot Swap! is the second in the series of Worst Bot Ever OGNs from writer Brian ‘Smitty’ Smith and artist Marz Jr., and you can get yourself an extended first-look preview here…

As Ballpoint struggles to fit in with his new Autobot friends, 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 desires? Maybe! Will the mighty Megatron really accept being placed in the itty-bitty body of the Worst Bot Ever? Of course not!

Transformers: Worst Bot Ever – Bot Swap! is set for release in comic book shops from June 17th 2026 and digital platforms and booksellers from July 14th 2026.
