Detour

Detour rolled onto the scene in 1989, born from the creative partnership of Simon Furman and José Delbo in the pages of Marvel's The Transformers — right in the thick of that Copper Age era when the series was hitting some of its most ambitious storytelling strides. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a rare find for the dedicated collector, the kind of background player who shares pages with titans like Megatron, Optimus Prime, and Hot Rod. Spotting Detour across The Transformers and the Transformers Compendium is a quiet thrill — proof that even the most fleeting presence in a beloved universe can carry its own charm for those who love to dig deep.
