Mainframe (Movie)


 * Mainframe is a Decepticon in the live-action movie continuity family.



Mainframe is a malevolent monster of a Decepticon. Rather than possessing a conventional alternate mode, Mainframe changes shape by draining the energy from any mechanism, living or unliving. He can then duplicate that mechanism's form to the smallest detail.

He also possesses the ability to generate drone units by duplicating his own body structure, although apparently even this degree of authority is insufficient for the megalomaniacal Mainframe - his thirst for power may be as unquenchable as Megatron's or Starscream's.

Bumblebee's Mission Log
Mainframe was exiled from Cybertron two hundred years ago after a short-lived usurpal of Megatron's position. He evidently made his way to Earth, where he was almost certainly responsible for the disappearance of Flash and Ridge and the apparent death of Sphinx. Once the Autobots were able to break enough of his encoded communications to his troops, however, Bumblebee was able to flush Mainframe into the open by feeding him false information about the location of the Allspark. A full-scale war between Mainframe's drones and the Earthbound Autobots resulted.
