Ballpoint will return in Transformers: Worst Bot Ever – Bot Swap!

August 26, 2025 by Gary Collinson

Skybound, Image and Hasbro have announced that the ‘Worst Bot Ever’ is set to make his return in June of next year as former Decepticon Ballpoint takes centre stage once more in Transformers: Worst Bot Ever – Bot Swap!, the second in a series of all-ages original graphic novels from writer Brian ‘Smitty’ Smith and artist Marz Jr after this year’s debut outing. 

“I’m absolutely thrilled to deliver more adventures of the bot with the biggest ego (and even bigger heart). Ballpoint has made an immediate impact with Transformers fans of all ages, you’re gonna want to buckle up for this next ride,” said Smith, with Marz adding “What have you gotten yourself into this time Ballpoint?! I’m pumped to be bringing back the lovable rascal for another wacky adventure!”

Hijinx and mayhem will ensue as readers reunite with Ballpoint, a reformed Decepticon, struggling to fit in with his new Autobot friends when 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 deserves? But what happens when the mighty Megatron suddenly finds himself in the itty-bitty body of the Worst Bot Ever?

Transformers: Worst Bot Ever – Bot Swap! is set for release on June 17th 2026.
