Lord Chumley: British freak

Lord Chumley is a minor antagonist of The Transformers, and serves as the main antagonist of the Season 2 episode "Prime Target", he's a vengeful big-game hunter who uses advanced (and extremely goofy) technology to stalk and bag the most dangerous and exotic creatures on the planet. He is tended to by the elderly Dinsmoore.

Lord Chumley's huge-ass trophy room, with experimental (tiny) jet at right. Sure beats collecting stamps!

Lord Chumley shot down an experimental Russian jet piloted by Oktober Guard One, sparking an international incident when the USSR blamed America for the theft. Both nations placed their armed forces on full alert, and a special session of the UN Security Council was called to discuss the escalating tensions.

Chumley, however, had his eye on a far greater prize: the head of the ultimate prey, the Autobot Optimus Prime.

Doesn't Palisades make this?

Chumley kidnapped several of Prime's teammates using wildly implausible traps, and then invited Prime to come rescue them from some very easily escapable torments. Prime responded, traversing a "carefully researched" booby-trapped mock-up of Cybertron... Who knew Cybertron had Hojoni?

The Decepticons, having caught wind of Chumley's successful capture of multiple Autobots, sent the Triple Changers Astrotrain and Blitzwing to negotiate with Chumley. However, the two ended up falling for some of the traps Prime didn't. Infuriated, Chumley chained up the Decepticons to deal with them later while he continued his attempts to capture Prime.

Prime was soon entrapped by Chumley's "greatest creation," a giant robotic black widow spider, but not for long. When Prime reached Chumley's castle and started chasing Chumley, the hunter freed his Decepticon prisoners to fight for him; instead, they tried to squish Chumley. The two were denied revenge by the appearance of the now-free Autobots and flew away, leaving Chumley to the Autobots' mercies for both kidnapping them, torturing them and attempt to sever Prime's head.

Prime returned the stolen jet to the USSR, with a very terrified Chumley tied to its nose - appropriately enough, like a hunting trophy. The crisis came to an end. Prime Target

Binaltech[]

In 2005, Lord Chumley was a member of the Concurrence, an organization dedicated to ridding Earth of all Transformers. They allied with the Decepticons to disrupt the human-Autobot alliance and aided in the theft of some Autobot bodyframes.

Notes[]

  • Lord Chumley is the first Non-Decepticon/Human Character of The Transformers to serve as the main antagonist, while Shawn Berger of the two part "Megatron's Master Plan" was also the antagonist, he serve as a secondary antagonist, but later on became an ally.
  • "Chumley" is how the name "Cholmondeley" (of Old English origin) is pronounced.
  • "Lord Chumley's" is also the name of a chain of fish and chip restaurants in real life. He should be hunting this guy.
  • Given that Lord Chumley make no future appearance in later episodes of The Transformers after "Prime Target", and how he was last seen in the Soviet Union and tied to the nose of the plane, its highly possible that Lord Chumley was arrested or sent to the authorities due to him stealing the plane and kidnapping the Autobots.
