Computron (G1)


 * Computer is an Autobot Technobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.



Computron is the combination of the five Autobot Technobots. Typically, the combiner process dulls the wits of the individual transformers, however, such is not the case for Computron. The Technobots managed to remedy that problem, but in the process, severely lagged Computron's reaction time. Before coming to any decision, Computron must analyze the opinions of every individual Technobot, resulting in his falling behind in battle. In the end, he always makes the correct choice, but more often then not, it's too little, too late. Thanks for nothing, brainiac!

Japanese name: Computicon

Generation 1 cartoon

 * Voice actor: Bert Kramer (US), Yoku Shioya (Japan)



After Grimlock created the Technobots from parts within Unicron's head, he revealed that they had the ability to combine to form Computron to counter the new Decepticon combiner Abominus. Computron stated that his computation capacity was near infinite, but he lacked the knowledge to use this capacity. Grimlock then transferred his anti-electron-endowed super-intelligence to the combiner via a silly helmet. Computron then proceeded to beat the slag out of Abominus.

He later had a chance for a rematch with the Decepticon when the Terrorcons were found working with the Quintessons in secret on the terraformed moon of Titan. He again sent Abominus packing.
