Lightspeed

Lightspeed is a Transformer character from Marvel's classic Transformers universe, operating alongside iconic figures such as Optimus Prime and Fortress Maximus. Based on the Technobots team member, Lightspeed transforms into a futuristic race car and serves the Autobot cause.

Debuting in the pages of The Transformers: Headmasters #3 in 1987, Lightspeed is a Marvel Comics creation brought to life by Bob Budiansky and Frank Springer right at the dawn of the Copper Age. Though their catalog footprint is compact, the company Lightspeed keeps is anything but modest — sharing adventures with titans like Optimus Prime, Jazz, Starscream, Ratchet, and the colossal Fortress Maximus across the classic Transformers universe. For collectors hunting the full breadth of Marvel's Transformers roster, Lightspeed is one of those satisfying deep-cut discoveries that rewards the dedicated reader.
