Bomb-Burst

Bomb-Burst stormed onto the scene in 1988, introduced by the legendary team of Bob Budiansky and José Delbo in the pages of Marvel's The Transformers #49 — right in the thick of the Copper Age, when the Transformers universe was expanding in bold and ambitious directions. Sharing the battlefield with titans like Optimus Prime, Scorponok, and Starscream, this character debuted in serious company indeed. What's remarkable is the staying power: from that late-'80s Marvel debut through Regeneration One and appearances as recently as 2025, Bomb-Burst has remained a persistent presence across nearly four decades of Transformers history. A niche gem for the dedicated collector, this is exactly the kind of character who rewards deep-dive fans willing to look beyond the household names.
