Circuit Breaker is a human in the Marvel Comics portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Circuitbreaker

Circuit Breaker decloaks and shows herself to Blackrock.

Blackrock Industries technician Josie Beller was paralyzed in a Decepticon attack. Driven by her pathological hatred for all robots, she renamed herself Circuit Breaker and invented a uniform that would allow her to move again -- plus enable her to shoot electricity, disrupt circuitry, and fly. This outfit is most recognized by many Transformers fans for the fact that it covers so little of her body.

Her hatred of all Transformers does not recognize the distinctions of Autobot and Decepticon. As such, she is more likely to do harm to the Autobot cause than to be of assistance.

Josie Beller, pre-op.

Computer genius Josie Beller was hired by Blackrock Industries only a few years out of high school. She was responsible for designing the most advanced oil-drilling platform in the world, including its semi-automated defense systems and its non-polluting microscrubbers. Despite her well-publicized technological achievements, Beller was humble; to her, it was merely part of her job. She was extremely devoted to her employer, G.B. Blackrock. The New Order

Her life took a tragic turn when the Decepticon Shockwave attacked the oil-drilling platform. Beller, who was operating the defense systems, fired harpoons at Shockwave. As Shockwave reeled in pain, he yanked away from the rig, ripping out the harpoon launchers, which, as a chain reaction of debris fell through the construct, caused the electrical systems to malfunction. Josie Beller was electrocuted. This paralyzed her entirely from the neck down, other than the ability to use her right arm. The Worse of Two Evils!

Hospitalized, Beller blamed herself. She told Blackrock that she had failed him, and swore she would make it up to him. Blackrock tried to explain that Beller owed her nothing, but she would not listen to him. Her devotion was, perhaps, pathological. She hated robots, she hated what they did to Blackrock Industries, and she hated them for paralyzing her.

Josie Beller, post-op.

Blackrock sought to equip himself better against attacks from the Transformers. Soon, he planned to unveil a new secret weapon to the press, the Anti-Robot Photonic Multi-Cannon. Josie Beller broke into Blackrock's office and disrobed, revealing an electrical costume which allowed her to move again. She declared her name to now be Circuit Breaker. Realizing she was not acting very mentally healthy, Blackrock was shocked, and declined her offer to help him defeat the Transformers. Disappointed, she left.

Before the press event, the Autobot Jazz approached him. Blackrock, with his vast oil empire would make a great ally. Jazz outlined the differences between the two Transformers factions, and offered Autobot protection against Decepticon attacks in exchange for fuel. Blackrock accepted.

When Blackrock unveiled the Anti-Robot Photonic Multi-Cannon to the press, it had been sabotaged by Circuit Breaker. She wished for Blackrock to introduce her as the real weapon he had intended to announce all along. But then, the Decepticons Starscream and Frenzy arrived, intent on stealing the cannon. Jazz stayed true to the deal, and he and Wheeljack transformed and countered the Decepticons.

"Destroyer of the colony! You will BURN!"

Circuit Breaker's hatred did not distinguish between Autobot and Decepticon and attacked both. However, as the Autobots refused to attack humans, both Jazz and Wheeljack suffered heavily from her electrical attacks. Blackrock pleaded to her, demanding she realize that not all robots were her enemy. She again refused to listen.

In need of a recharge, she left, vowing to return to finish the job she started. DIS-Integrated Circuits!

Trivia

  • She is also directly and solely responsible for saving the entire Marvel universe from the Beyonder, in Secret Wars II. (She was published in that book before her debut in Transformers solely so Marvel Comics could claim ownership of the character.)
