- The transmetal driver is an alien technological device featured in the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
What can't it do?
The Transmetal driver, referred to by the Vok as a Datasphere, is a small spherical device that Megatron obtained while on prehistoric Earth (exactly how he came it across it is unknown), where many other traces of the Vok were found. It served as a receptacle of scanned data the Vok accumulated from one of the Beast Warriors (presumably Optimus Primal), but according to an analysis by the Maximals' computer it was altered by Megatron. The driver was a necessary part of a transformation into a Transmetal 2.

After the Beast Wars had ended, the datasphere was used by the Vok to create a leader to guide a group of warriors against Tarantulas, who had become a great danger to the timestream by infusing the Vok's powers into himself. Combining the knowledge from the datasphere, the ability of the Matrix of Leadership to give life (stored inside Optimus Prime on the Ark), and Quickstrike's control harness for Optimal Optimus, the Vok assembled Primal Prime.
