Blades

Blades roared onto the scene in 1993 with the launch of Transformers: Generation 2 — Marvel's bold, harder-edged reinvention of the Transformers universe, crafted by the legendary Simon Furman and artist Derek Yaniger. Sharing pages with titans like Optimus Prime, Megatron, and the ferocious Dinobots Snarl, Slag, and Swoop, Blades exists in some seriously dramatic company. It's a compact but meaningful corner of the Copper/Modern Age Transformers saga, and with appearances stretching across more than three decades into 2025, this character has quietly endured — a testament to the devoted collectors who keep the Generation 2 era alive and celebrated.
