Hi Q

Hi Q is a human character from Marvel's Transformers comic series who becomes deeply entangled with the Transformers' ongoing war on Earth. He is notable for his significant connection to Optimus Prime, the Autobot leader.

Debuting in the pages of Marvel's The Transformers #42 in 1988, Hi Q stepped into the Copper Age of comics amid one of the most beloved sci-fi sagas in the medium's history, sharing adventures alongside titans like Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Grimlock. Created by the legendary Transformers architect Bob Budiansky alongside artist José Delbo, Hi Q carved out a place in a universe of larger-than-life mechanical warriors — no small feat for any character. Though their catalog footprint is modest, appearances in Transformers: Regeneration One 100-Page Spectacular signal a staying power that stretches across nearly four decades of Transformers continuity, right up to 2025. For fans who love digging into the deeper corners of Marvel's Transformers mythology, Hi Q is exactly the kind of discovery that rewards the dedicated collector.
