Transmetal driver

The Transmetal driver is a small spherical device that Megatron presumably found at one of the Vok sites on prehistoric Earth. It is unclear if Megatron just used the device as he found it, or if he modified it to suit his purposes. The driver was a necessary part of a transformation into a Transmetal 2.

Megatron initially used the driver as part of the Machine that gave Dinobot 2 life. The transmetal driver seems to give off the same type of energy/radiation as the quantum surge, perhaps in a stronger dose.

Cheetor and Depth Charge destroyed Megatron's machine, but not before Cheetor got a full dose of the driver's energy turning him into a Transmetal 2. Depth Charge recovered the driver, and after the Maximal computer was unable to definitively identify it, he threw it into the lava around the Ark. However, Blackarachnia saved the device and tried to use it on herself. The driver caused her systems to crash, but mysteriously changed her into a Transmetal 2.
