Pincher

Pincher rolled onto the scene in 2003's Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye #4, a Modern Age entry into IDW's sprawling, lore-rich corner of the Transformers universe. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Pincher is a deep-cut character — the kind of name that lights up the eyes of a dedicated G1 enthusiast who's gone well beyond the household names. Sharing pages with the likes of Phaser, Octopunch, and Rampage places Pincher in genuinely compelling company, and their presence across the More Than Meets the Eye guidebook series suggests a character with enough backstory to earn a proper entry in Transformers lore. For collectors who love hunting the margins of a beloved mythology, Pincher is exactly the sort of discovery that makes digging through a long run worthwhile.
