Manta Ray

Surfacing in the thick of Marvel's Transformers: Generation 2 in 1994, Manta Ray is a Copper/Modern Age creation brought to life by the legendary Simon Furman and artist Manny Galan — a duo who knew how to make the Generation 2 era crackle with energy. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a rare figure whose pages are shared with titans like Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Jazz, and Soundwave, making every issue a high-stakes affair. Collectors hunting the deeper corners of the Transformers universe will find Manta Ray a genuinely intriguing discovery — a character whose staying power across reprints like the Transformers Compendium confirms there's something worth revisiting here.
