Blades

A fixture of IDW's early 2000s deep-dive into Transformers lore, Blades made their Modern Age debut in Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye #5 (2003), stepping into a sprawling universe alongside the likes of Tracer, Overbite, and Runabout. With appearances spread across the Official Guide Book and the Generation One: More Than Meets the Eye companion series, Blades is very much a character rooted in the encyclopedic, fan-first spirit that made IDW's initial Transformers publishing era such a treasure for dedicated collectors. A modest but genuine piece of the IDW Transformers mosaic — the kind of entry that rewards the completist who loves knowing every corner of the universe.
