The Transformers: Headmasters

In this four-issue Marvel miniseries from 1987–1988, writer Bob Budiansky and artist Frank Springer introduce a new chapter in the Transformers saga, centered on the Headmasters—Cybertronians who bond with smaller organic partners to enhance their abilities. The story follows the Autobot Fortress Maximus and his human ally Galen, alongside fellow Headmasters like Chromedome and Brainstorm, as they confront the Decepticon Apeface and the scheming Duros. This series expands the Transformers mythos by exploring the fusion of machine and life, laying groundwork for the characters' later roles in the broader Marvel run.
