Mudslinger

Mudslinger rolled onto the scene in 1989's The Transformers #54, a Copper Age debut crafted by the legendary Bob Budiansky and José Delbo during Marvel's landmark run with the franchise. Though the catalog appearances are few, this character exists in rarefied company — sharing pages with titans like Megatron, Optimus Prime, Scorponok, Blurr, and Bumblebee, which tells you something about the weight of the stories Mudslinger stepped into. Preserved in the Transformers Compendium and still turning up across a remarkable 36-year span, Mudslinger is a genuine piece of Transformers comics history — the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
