Downshift

Downshift rolled onto the scene in 2003's Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye #2, a Modern Age entry into the sprawling IDW Transformers universe that was busy expanding and cataloguing the rich lore of Generation One. With appearances spread across the Official Guide Book and related More Than Meets the Eye titles, Downshift is very much a creature of that early-2000s effort to give every corner of the Transformers mythos its proper due — sharing pages with the likes of Flak, Fizzle, Erector, Freeway, and Getaway along the way. A modest three appearances make Downshift a genuine deep-cut find, the kind of character that rewards the dedicated collector who loves discovering the full, sprawling roster of this beloved franchise.
