Roadhandler

Few characters carry the thrill of a Copper Age debut quite like Roadhandler, who roared onto the scene in The Transformers #54 in 1989, courtesy of the legendary creative duo of Bob Budiansky and José Delbo. Though his catalog footprint is modest, the company he keeps is anything but — sharing pages with titans like Megatron, Optimus Prime, and Bumblebee speaks to the epic scale of the Transformers universe he inhabits. Preserved for new generations through the Transformers Compendium, Roadhandler is a genuine piece of Marvel's Copper Age Transformers legacy, the kind of discovery that reminds collectors why digging into the deeper roster is always worth the effort.
