Apeface

Crashing onto the scene in 1987's The Transformers: Headmasters #3, Apeface is a product of Marvel's action-packed Copper Age Transformers universe, brought to life by writer Bob Budiansky and artist Frank Springer. This rare, limited-appearance character keeps fierce company — sharing pages with heavy hitters like Scorponok and Weirdwolf across Headmasters and the main Transformers series. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Apeface is exactly the kind of deep-cut find that makes digging through late-'80s Transformers back issues such a rewarding hunt for the dedicated collector.
