Tailspin

Debuting in the pages of Marvel's The Transformers #54 in 1989, Tailspin entered the Copper Age battlefield alongside some of the most legendary names in the entire Transformers saga — Megatron, Optimus Prime, Scorponok, and Bumblebee among them. Though the catalog count is modest, the company this character keeps speaks volumes about the epic scale of the conflicts they were drawn into from the very start. Collected in the Transformers Compendium, Tailspin's appearances have found new audiences across an impressive 36-year span, a testament to the enduring hunger fans have for every corner of this sprawling universe. A Copper Age discovery for the dedicated completist, Tailspin is one of those characters who rewards the deep-diving collector willing to look beyond the headliners.
