Servility program

The servility program is a program inherent to all Mini-Cons that binds them to a Bulk, or larger transformer. When an Autobot or a Decepticon Powerlinks with a Mini-Con, they feel compelled to act with loyalty to tha Transformer. Depending on the partner's personality, this can be a beneficial or psychologically damaging relationship.

The first mention of the servility program was when Redline explained why their Rollbar had abandoned them after linking with the Transformer, Scavenger.

It is unknown why the servility program exists; either it was programmed into them by other Transformers, or it was part of Unicron's plan to use them to subjugate the Transformer race.
