Technobot (SG)
From Transformers Wiki
| This article is about the evil Autobot subgroup. For their heroic counterparts, see Technobot (G1). |
- The Technobots are an evil Autobot subgroup from the Shattered Glass continuity family.
The Technobots are a team of genius-level Autobots hampered by severe neuroses.
They originally were a team of brilliantly capable scientists who combined into the equally cruelly super-intelligent Computron, until a failed attempt at imbuing normal intelligence into Grimlock corrupted their processors. Now they can no longer suppress their personality flaws, nor their addiction to combining into the now brutish and mentally deficient Computron. Optimus Prime is all too willing to perpetuate and take advantage of this situation, though Alpha Trion eventually swayed them to his side so he could do the same.
The Technobots consist of:
- The socially anxious tactical expert Scattorshot (leader)
- The calm, obsessive-compulsive electronics genius Strafe
- The detached quantum physicist Lightspeed
- The cheerful eager-to-please mathematician Afterburner
- The impulsive and hyper mechanical engineer Nosecone
Fiction
Fun Publications Shattered Glass continuity
When Alpha Trion returned from his exile to his laboratory, the Technobots were among the ones who came to rejoin his service and help detain Breakaway, Landquake, and Topspin. Reunification: Part 1
When the three managed to escape, Scattorshot and Nosecone followed them out outside to look for them, but they were already long gone. Scattorshot told Alpha Trion they could form Computron and catch up with them, but Alpha Trion told him they needed to relocate for the moment. Reunification: Part 2
Eventually the Technobots combined into Computron were sent out to find and deal with the three escapees. The three's most recent visitor Aquarius was able to delay Computron's arrival with a "slow time" bubble, but eventually the bubble faded and Computron tore the roof off the building. Reunification: Part 3
Notes
- The Technobots' appearances are based on their Generation 1 counterparts, but colored like the Generation 1 Terrorcons.
