Starriors

In the mid-1980s, Marvel Comics launched Starriors, a four-issue limited series driven by the energetic storytelling of writer Louise Simonson and the dynamic artwork of Michael (Mike) Chen. Set in a distant future, the series follows a race of sentient, transforming robots—the Starriors—caught in a struggle for survival on a war-torn Earth. A fast-paced, standalone adventure from Marvel's bronze-to-modern transition era, it stands as a compact example of the decade's fascination with mechanical heroes and high-concept sci-fi action.
