Who is Waverider?

Debuting in The Transformers #40 in 1988, Waverider is a Marvel Comics Copper Age creation brought to life by the celebrated team of Bob Budiansky and José Delbo — right in the thick of one of comics' most beloved licensed universes. Sharing pages with titans like Optimus Prime, Grimlock, Megatron, and Jazz, this character moves in seriously iconic company. With a presence stretching across reprints and collections all the way to 2025, Waverider's footprint in the Transformers mythos — including the Transformers Compendium — makes them a rewarding discovery for dedicated fans digging deeper into the full roster of the Marvel run.
