Scrounge

Scrounge rolled onto the scene in Marvel's The Transformers #17 in 1986, a creation of writer Bob Budiansky and artist Don Perlin during the Copper Age boom that made Transformers comics a genuine sensation. With only a handful of appearances to their name, Scrounge is the kind of rare, fleeting figure that completionists and deep-cut enthusiasts treasure — a character whose brief time in the spotlight puts them in remarkable company alongside the likes of Blaster, Ravage, and even Steve Rogers himself, Captain America. Sometimes it's the characters who burn brightest for just a moment that leave the most lasting impression on devoted readers.
