Highjump

Debuting in the pages of Marvel's The Transformers #54 in 1989, Highjump is a Copper Age entry into one of comics' most beloved robot sagas, brought to life by the creative team of Bob Budiansky and José Delbo. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is very much a deep-cut discovery — the kind of character that makes longtime collectors lean in — yet those few issues place Highjump squarely alongside titans like Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Scorponok. The fact that Highjump has resurfaced across material spanning all the way to 2025, including the Transformers Compendium, is a quiet testament to the enduring reach of this universe and the devoted fans who make sure no bot gets left behind.
