Swindler

Swindler rolled onto the scene in 1989's The Transformers #54, a Copper Age creation from the legendary Bob Budiansky and José Delbo, two of the defining voices behind Marvel's landmark Transformers run. It's rarefied air to share pages with titans like Megatron, Optimus Prime, and Scorponok, and that's exactly the electrifying company Swindler keeps. With appearances catalogued across an impressive span stretching all the way to 2025 — including the Transformers Compendium — this is a character whose footprint in the mythos quietly endures long after that debut.
