Who is Headstrong?

Headstrong is a Predacon — one of the elite Decepticon warriors who transforms into a rhinoceros and combines with his teammates to form the mighty gestalt Predaking. Fierce and stubborn in both personality and battle style, he serves under Razorclaw as part of this fearsome combiner team.

Few characters carry a name as perfectly suited to their corner of the Marvel Transformers universe as Headstrong, who crashed onto the scene in 1987's The Transformers Universe #2 — a reference-book debut that signals real significance in the mythology. A Copper Age creation, Headstrong has shared pages with titans like Optimus Prime, Soundwave, and the fearsome Razorclaw across nearly four decades of Transformers publishing. With appearances spread across The Transformers and the Transformers Compendium, this is a character woven into the fabric of the saga's long history — a name worth tracking down for any serious collector who wants the full picture of Marvel's sprawling Cybertronian world.
