Lube

Debuting in the pages of Marvel's The Transformers #42 in 1988, Lube is a Copper Age addition to one of comics' most beloved mechanical mythologies, brought to life by the creative team of Bob Budiansky, José Delbo, and Dave Hunt. A rare find with just four catalogued appearances, Lube keeps fast company — sharing pages with the likes of Slapdash, Getaway, Joyride, and Hotwire — suggesting a corner of the Transformers universe buzzing with kinetic energy. Preserved for new generations through the Transformers Compendium, this is exactly the kind of deep-cut character that makes digging into the Marvel Transformers run such a rewarding adventure for dedicated collectors.
