Rapture

Born in the pages of Marvel's The Transformers #68 in 1990 — right at the cusp of the Copper and Modern Age — Rapture entered the iconic Simon Furman era of Transformers storytelling, a period celebrated by collectors for its ambitious, character-rich mythology. With a debut crafted by Furman and artist Dwayne Turner, Rapture joins a remarkable roster of figures sharing those pages, rubbing shoulders with titans like Optimus Prime and Shockwave alongside human players like Circuit Breaker and Lee Gruber. A presence that has endured across reprints and retrospectives including the Transformers Compendium and the Regeneration One 100-Page Spectacular, Rapture is a genuine piece of Marvel's Transformers legacy — a discovery waiting for fans who love digging into the deeper corners of one of comics' most beloved licensed universes.
