Who is Cutthroat?

Cutthroat is a Decepticon Terrorcon from the Transformers universe — a beast-mode warrior who transforms into a pterodactyl-like creature and combines with fellow Terrorcons to form the gestalt Abominus.

Debuting in the pages of The Transformers: Headmasters #3 in 1987, Cutthroat is a Copper Age creation from Marvel's beloved Transformers universe, brought to life by the legendary team of Bob Budiansky and Frank Springer. With a name that practically announces their menacing presence, this character shares the battlefield with titans like Megatron, Optimus Prime, Jazz, Scourge, and Blurr — as elite a roster of Transformers icons as you could hope to find. Though Cutthroat's catalog appearances are rare, that scarcity only adds to the appeal for dedicated collectors hunting every corner of Marvel's Transformers mythology across The Transformers and the Transformers Compendium. A character with nearly four decades of publishing history behind them and that kind of company on the page is always worth a closer look.
