Who is Superion?

Superion is the combined Autobot gestalt formed when the Aerialbots — a team of Autobot jets led by Silverbolt — merge together, creating a massive, powerful warrior who fights for the Autobot cause against the Decepticons.

Few characters announce themselves quite like Superion, who burst onto the scene in The Transformers #21 in 1986 — right in the thick of the Copper Age — courtesy of creators Bob Budiansky and Don Perlin. A Marvel Comics original, this towering presence has kept remarkable company over the decades, sharing pages with heavy hitters like Optimus Prime, Ratchet, and Silverbolt across landmark series including The Transformers and the crossover spectacles G.I. Joe and the Transformers and Transformers / G.I. Joe. Nearly four decades of appearances speak to a staying power that casual fans might not expect, and that first issue remains a genuine key for collectors chasing the character's origins. Whether you're a longtime Transformers devotee or just discovering how deep this universe runs, Superion is one of those figures whose presence on the page always signals that something big is happening.
