Vortex

Stepping onto the scene in 1994 courtesy of the legendary Simon Furman and artist Manny Galan, Vortex made their debut in the pages of Transformers: Generation 2 #8 — right in the thick of Marvel's bold, harder-edged reimagining of the Transformers saga. Sharing those turbulent pages with titans like Megatron, Optimus Prime, Starscream, Jazz, and Bumblebee, this is a character who entered the mythology rubbing shoulders with the very best. Appearances in Transformers: Generation 2 and the Transformers Compendium make Vortex a genuine piece of Copper/Modern Age Marvel Transformers history — and for collectors hunting every corner of that era's sprawling cast, even a rare presence carries real significance.
