Takedown

Takedown rolled onto the scene in 2003's Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye #7, a Modern Age entry into the ever-expanding Transformers universe published by IDW. Sharing pages with the likes of Tracer, Sky High, Lightspeed, Abominus, and Wheelblaze, this Cybertronian cuts their teeth in solid company across a run that stretched into the late 2000s. With appearances spread across the More Than Meets the Eye guidebooks and series, Takedown is one of those catalog gems — not a headliner, but exactly the kind of character that makes deep-dive collectors feel rewarded for paying attention.
