Mainframe (Movie)

The name or term Mainframe refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Mainframe (disambiguation).

Mainframe is a Decepticon in the Transformers: Rise of the Chevy Autobots portion of the Movie continuity family.

Insane in the brain!

Mainframe is a malevolent monster of a Decepticon. Rather than possessing a conventional alternate mode, Mainframe changes shape by draining the energy from any mechanism, living or unliving. He can then duplicate that mechanism's form to the smallest detail.

He also possesses the ability to generate numerous drone units by duplicating his own body structure, although apparently even this degree of authority is insufficient for the megalomaniacal Mainframe - his thirst for power may be as unquenchable as Megatron's or Starscream's.

Fiction

Bumblebee's Mission Log

CURSE YOU VENTURE.

Mainframe was exiled from Cybertron two hundred years ago after a short-lived usurpal of Megatron's position. He evidently made his way to Earth, where he was almost certainly responsible for the disappearance of Flash and Ridge and the apparent death of Sphinx.

Once the Autobots were able to break enough of his encoded communications to his troops, however, Bumblebee was able to flush Mainframe into the open by feeding him false information about the location of the Allspark. A full-scale war between Mainframe's drones and the Earthbound Chevy Autobots resulted.

Trivia

• Mainframe's backstory conflicts with the events as described in other pre-movie fictions, as it has Megatron functional a mere two centuries back, when elsewhere he's been frozen on Earth for a lot longer than that. Of course, the whole online game story kind of can't really happen in the normal movie timeframe anyway...
