Blast Off

Blast Off rockets into the Transformers mythos with a debut in Marvel's Transformers: Generation 2 #7 in 1994, courtesy of the legendary Simon Furman and artist Manny Galan — right at the cusp of comics' Modern Age. Though their catalog footprint is compact, the company Blast Off keeps is anything but small, sharing pages with titans like Megatron, Optimus Prime, Starscream, Grimlock, and Soundwave. Appearing across Transformers: Generation 2 and the Transformers Compendium, and with a publishing presence stretching all the way to 2025, this is a character whose place in the Transformers universe has quietly endured — a gem for dedicated collectors hunting the deeper corners of the Generation 2 era.
