Who is Joyride?

Joyride is an Autobot introduced during Marvel's run on The Transformers, a Nebulan-partnered Powermaster whose reckless, thrill-seeking personality made him a standout among his faction's ranks.

Joyride roared onto the scene in 1988's The Transformers #41, a Copper Age creation from the legendary Bob Budiansky and José Delbo during Marvel's celebrated run with the franchise. Sharing pages with heavy hitters like Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Jazz, and Prowl, this Autobot has kept genuinely iconic company across a publishing history that stretches all the way to 2025. Collected in the Transformers Compendium, Joyride may not have the longest catalog footprint, but for fans who love hunting down every corner of the Marvel Transformers universe, discovering a character with this kind of staying power and pedigree is exactly the thrill the hunt is all about.
