Blades

Blades is a Marvel Comics character introduced in the Transformers Universe profile series, a reference guide to the Transformers cast. As an Autobot, Blades forms part of the Protectobots team and combines with his teammates to form the giant robot Defensor.

Roaring out of Marvel UK's 1986 debut in The Transformers Universe #1, Blades is a Copper Age creation who has kept remarkably vivid company across nearly four decades of comics history. Sharing pages with titans like Grimlock, Megatron, and the human soldier Dashiell "Flint" Faireborn, this character inhabits the rich cross-pollinating world where The Transformers and Action Force collided on British newsstands — a uniquely exciting corner of the Marvel UK universe. Most at home in Action Force Monthly, G.I. Joe European Missions, and The Transformers, Blades represents that thrilling era when UK comics were doing something genuinely distinct with licensed Hasbro properties. For collectors with an eye for transatlantic curiosities and the golden age of British Marvel, Blades is a rewarding find.
