Movor was one of several Autobot protoforms who was converted into a Decepticon by the Predacons. While attempting to choose a vehicle mode for the protoform to scan, Sky-Byte tripped and set off the scanner. The beam nearly hit an eagle (which would have made him Predacon), but instead, it hit a low flying space shuttle.

Movor would become a staple of the Decepticon team. As a component of Ruination, he served as either the arm or leg of Ruination, depending on the combiner's focus in battle. At one point, Movor became the crux of one of the Decepticons' plans, after they took a shuttle hostage and replaced it with Movor. Once in orbit, Movor attempted to track numerous Autobots (including Tow-Line, Prowl, and X-Brawn) with the intention of finding the Autobots' base, but ultimately, he found himself wasting time watching them go about their everyday activities. Once he set his sides on Sideburn, who was in the proccess of chasing Kelly (yet again), Movor began leading the other Decepticons to numerous erroneous locations, which were all destroyed.

The Autobots caught wise to the scheme, and lured Side Burn - and by extension, the Decepticons - to Pier 7B. The other Decepticons were led into an ambush while Movor remained high in orbit. When the shuttle attempted to help his comrades, he inadvertently shot Scourge (twice!) while trying to take out Optimus Prime, making the whole plan a bust. Once it was over, Movor was knocked out of orbit by a satellite.

Movor would continue to play the role of orbital recon, as well as a member of the Decepticons' attack force. When Scourge turned on Megatron, he went along with it same as the others, only to be reprogrammed again by Megatron when the plan failed. Later, he would actually succeed in tracking one of the Autobots of their base, allowing the villains to destroy it. However, he fell along with the rest of Megatron's forces, and was incarcerated on an asteroid prison.

Trivia

 * According to Aaron Archer at BotCon 2002, Movor's name is simply indicative of the fact he... moves. Move-or. Yes, really. Shut up.
