Grapple (G1)


 * Grapple is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.



Grapple is an artist. On Cybertron, before the war, his buildings were considered great works of art. Now his constructions are limited by the realities and needs of the war effort. It is a situation he often finds stifling. Grapple takes great pride in any work he constructs, and is prone to severe bouts of depression should his "masterworks" be destroyed in the course of combat. Grapple can usually be found hanging out with his close friend Hoist who does his best to cheer-up Grapple up when his artistic temperament has him down.

Trivia

 * An Autobot vehicle roughly matching Grapple's vehicle mode and refered as Hauler appears in a quick scene in the original G1 Cartoon mini-series. Though later retconed into it's own character by the Japanese, it is likely that this was originally intended as the toy that eventually became Grapple.
