City-bots Components
Name | Alternate mode | First appearance | Last appearance | Voiced by |
---|---|---|---|---|
Scamper | Cybertronic six-wheel car | Five Faces of Darkness (Part 5) | The Ultimate Weapon | Dan Gilvezan |
Scamper is part of the composite whole that is the Autobot city, Metroplex. Although autonomous in his own right, with an impulsive and sociable personality, Scamper is an extension of Metroplex, and commonly patrols the peripheries of the giant Autobot's city form in his sports car mode alongside Slammer. | ||||
Six-Gun | None | Thief in the Night | Thief in the Night | Maurice LaMarche |
The name Six-Gun isn't just metaphoric; this Autobot soldier is literally a walking, talking mass of weaponry. Six-Gun is one of Metroplex's autonomous troops, and is composed of six of the city-bot's guns. Along with Scamper and Slammer, he helps patrol and defend Metroplex's interior and periphery. Like his partners, he is mentally linked to Metroplex, and shares a similar personality. Perhaps befitting a living artillery battery, Six-Gun tends to be a bit more blustery and belligerent than his teammates. | ||||
Slammer | Nothing but only a Cybertronic tank in robot mode | Thief in the Night | The Ultimate Weapon | Chris Latta |
Slammer, a drone controlled by Metroplex, does not do much. He's usually seen in the form of Metroplex's left rear tower, and is rarely seen in tank form. | ||||
Full-Tilt | Cybertronic race car | Call of the Primitives | Call of the Primitives | No Voice |
Full-Tilt is a Decepticon drone from the Generation 1 continuity family. | ||||
Brunt | Cybertronic tank | Marvel comics | Marvel Comics | No Voice |
Brunt is a tank that splits into several towers of Trypticon's city mode (plus a couple of leftover pieces). In battle station mode, Trypticon uses Brunt's turret as his main cannon. Though the towers and/or cannon have been seen in each of the continuities Trypticon has appeared in, the tank mode is a much rarer sight. Only two universes acknowledge Brunt's separate existence, and even then just as a mindless drone. | ||||
Wipe-Out | Cybertronic car | Marvel comics | Marvel Comics | No Voice |
A lumbering, powerful Transformer like Trypticon has many important things to attend to (like destruction). When he needs some small task done, he calls on Wipe-Out to do it. Wipe-Out serves Trypticon with an astonishing level of toadying sycophancy, layering on so many compliments that he actually irritates the giant with them. | ||||
Cerebros | Miniature Fortress Maximus/Head | The Rebirth (Part 1) | The Rebirth (Part 3) | Jered Baclay |
Cerebros is the robot that transforms into Fortress Maximus's head, and is itself binary bonded to Spike Witwicky. | ||||
Zarak | Head | The Rebirth (Part 2) | The Rebirth (Part 3) | Stan Jones |
Lord Mo Zarak is a powerful and corrupt Nebulan leader who transforms into the head of Scorponok. |

Famous quotes containing the word components:
“Hence, a generative grammar must be a system of rules that can iterate to generate an indefinitely large number of structures. This system of rules can be analyzed into the three major components of a generative grammar: the syntactic, phonological, and semantic components.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
