- Dispensor is a Real Gear Robot and Decepticon from the Movie continuity family.
I am a seething cauldron of freon and caffeine!
Dispensor is one of several robots who transform into Mountain Dew vending machines. This particular one came online during the battle of Mission City.
Fiction
Transformers (2007)
I've got a big, big thirst for human blood!
When Sam Witwicky accidentally activated the All Spark during his flight from the Decepticons in Mission City, the artifact's radiation animated an SUV steering wheel, an Xbox 360, and a Mountain Dew soda machine into robots. This Mountain Dew robot, named Dispensor, has an arm-mounted can-cannon. You might think this is pretty ridiculous, but unopened soda cans are much less delicious and refreshing when used as high-speed projectiles. What happened to it after the Battle of Mission City is as yet unknown! Transformers

He's all hands.
Robot Heroes
- Ironhide vs. Dispensor (2008)
- Dispensor is included in a Robot Heroes two-pack along with a somersaulting Mission City battle Ironhide. Dispensor is identified as a Decepticon.
Trivia
- The name "Dispensor" was first suggested to Greg Lombardo, Hasbro's head of Marketing for Transformers, by Daniel "Suspsy" Suh during a tour of Hasbro's offices at BotCon 2007. Later that same weekend, Suh shouted out the name during one of the Hasbro panels.
- According to CineFex magazine, the inclusion of Dispensor into the film was a last minute addition and all the modeling and animation for it was done in only four weeks!
- Titan Magazines' Transformers Comic issue 7 features an Allspark-animated soda can machine, but it's not clear if it is supposed to be Dispensor, or if it's another one that we didn't see before that was just inspired by Dispensor's appearance in the film. It sure as heck doesn't look like Dispensor, but with this art...
- Dispensor's place as a member of the Mountain Dew Robots is unclear. He may qualify simply by being a, uh, Mountain Dew robot. However, what little we know about the Mountain Dew Robots comes from Dewbot, whose origin is unknown. The MDRs may be a group of alien robots who took on Mountain Dew disguises, whereas Dispensor is a Real Gear Robot who was born on Earth.
- heck, they could be a new version of the Insecticons.
