I'm a Mac.

Where most of the early generation of combiner teams result in super robots that are generously described as dumb as a bag of hammers,Computron, the combination of the fiveTechnobots, is quite the opposite. Pooling his components' intellects and specialties and somehow overcoming whatever personality clashes they have, Computron is a super-genius who virtually never makes a wrong decision. The problem is though, depending on the complexity of the problem he faces, the process of coming to that correct decision can be a very

very

slow one, as he runs through every possibility using every bit of his computing power and the shared experiences of his components.

While this is not so much a problem when developing strategies before a battle, in the heat of a fight it can definitely put him at a disadvantage. Luckily he's incredibly physically resilient, meaning he can take quite a few hits while calculating the best way to end the fight in the Autobots' favor as efficiently as possible once his course of action has been plotted.

Probability of scaring the crap out of everybody: *sigh*...100%...
Brawn without brains ill-becomes a warrior, Decepticon! You're too data-deficient to evencomprehend what thisacid-pellet gun is doing to you!Computron to Abominus,"Love and Steel!"

TheTerrorcons and theDecepticonHorrorconsApeface andSnapdragon were busy "terrorizing" theNebulan city ofSplendora when the Technobots arrived together withBrainstorm andHardhead to save the day. Once the Terrorcons combined to formAbominus,Scattershot ordered the Technobots to do likewise.

Computron ordered the Nebulans to find shelter, vowing to protect them. He fared well against his dim-witted opponent, first blasting the bajeezus out of Abominus with his primary weapon, then bashing him with a steel I-beam with sufficient force to shatter the Decepticon combiner into his component Terrorcons, who promptly retreated.

Computron stood by asDuros andArcana separated from their Autobot partners to explain to the shell-shocked Nebulans thatthis batch of giant alien robots wasn't out to terrorize anybody.Love and Steel!

AfterGrimlock created the Technobots from parts withinUnicron's head, he revealed that they had the ability to combine to form Computron to counter the newDecepticoncombinerAbominus. Computron stated that his computation capacity was near infinite, but he lacked the knowledge to use this capacity. Grimlock then transferred hisanti-electron-endowed super-intelligence to the combiner via asilly helmet. Abominus tried to crush Computron in a powerful hug, but the Technobot gestalt fought back by vibrating violently, forcing Abominus to disengage into its Terrorcon components, who fled away along withGalvatron and the rest of his minions.Grimlock's New Brain

After the Technobots andMarissa Faireborn rescued space rogueDirk Manus fromHun-Grrr, Computron formed in order to evaluate the probability that Manus's tale of aQuintesson base onTitan wasn't a load of lies. He calculated it wasn't, and was absolutely correct. Computron had a chance for a rematch with Abominus once the full team made it to Titan, as theTerrorcons were working with the Quintessons... who were making trade deals for stolen goods with Manus. Computron again defeated Abominus, this time by using a focused blast from a hidden chest-cannon that triggered a mechanism that the Quintessons had installed into the Terrorcons in order to limit the time they could spend in their combined form.Money is Everything

Abominus got Computron back when the Technobots were sent to defendMark Morgan's laboratory. Almost immediately after combining, Abominus declared that "Computron think too much" and blasted him, forcing him to disassemble.The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1

Conclusion: You're boned.

In 2050, relations soured between the Cybertron Alliance and humanity when humans created their own living robots calledSelectors, who rose up and demanded their freedom. The Technobots prepared to abandonEarth Defense Command headquarters atNeo Scramble City. AtRodimus's request, they transformed into Computron to determine the humans' chances of winning. Computron initially calculated humanity's odds at approaching zero, but the probability changed drastically when Grimlock and the Dinobots declared loyalty to humanity, rising to 90%. The Technobots refused to stand against their father, and entered the battle on the side of the Dinobots. Nosecone and the Technobots merged with the newly combiner-compatible Grimlock, formingVolcaticon. In this form, Computron returned the intelligence download Grimlock gave him when he was born, dramatically increasing the Dinobot-Technobot combiner's intelligence. As Volcaticon prepared to calculate a solution for the humans, Selectors, and Cybertron Alliance, though, the Quintessons got involved in the skirmish with their Terrorcons. Volcaticon reconfigured back into separate Computron andVolcanicus combiners to face this new threat.Volcanicus comic 2

As the Terrorcons attacked the off-balance combiner duo, Computron realized his mistake—he no longer possessed his intelligence to calculate as his fighting style demanded, and the intelligence in Volcanicus was inhibiting the animalistic fury of the Dinobots, leaving them both hampered.Abominus comic 1 As the Terrorcons formed Abominus and ran wild onAngolmois Energy, Computron met with Volcanicus and performed the data transfer back into his mind. Feeling himself again, Computron ralliedSuperion andDefensor to join him in a coordinated attack. Abominus pushed them back with Angolmois Energy, but Computron usedScramble Power to grab the limbs he could and pressed forward as a new combiner,Comperian. Abominus stole his trick as Comperian thrust him backwards intoBruticus andMenasor, Scrambling intoAbomenaticus. They fell upon each other, championing the knowledge and wisdom ofVector Sigma against the raw evil ofUnicron and the corrupted Angolmois Energy. Unfortunately, in the end Abominus proved victorious.Abominus comic 2

Unfortunately, the empowered Victorion proved no match for Trypticon and the Combiners were forced to separate again, though Computron was quick to jump back into the fray. He directed Menasor towards a weak spot in Trypticon's foot in an attempt to knock him off balance and later joined the others in attacking Trypticon's fortress mode from all sides.In Good Hands When Trypticon swallowed Victorion and the Enigma, he used its power to take control of Computron and the other Combiners, forcing them to attack Fortress Maximus, Windblade and Optimus Prime.Consumed Computron was freed form Trypticon's control after the Titan expelled the Enigma, and he bore witness to the return ofMegatronus and the death of Optimus.

Of Masters and Mayhem

During the war, the Technobots were approached by the genius designerIronclad, who had an idea to improve their combined form, with him helping to form a special arm. His idea was rejected, but the team used the idea to addScrounge andCybaxx, also known asBoltax, to Computron. They hoped Cybaxx'sUnderbase-fuelled knowledge and power would help them defeat the unstoppableMayhem Attack Squad. It didn't.Lively Pursuit

In a confrontation withAirachnid within the asteroid colony ofHexagon, Scattershot and his Technical Solutions Team were sent falling into the scientist's experimentalCombination Core, a facsimile of theEnigma of Combination. By absorbing the energies of this arcane device, Scattershot and his team merged into acombiner that dubbed itself "Computron". The process left Computron disoriented, andThunderwing took advantage of this by ejecting a portion of theHexagon asteroid colony before he could gain his bearings.Light/Star

Upon returning to Cybertron aboardLodestar, a distress signal from the Autobots inCrystal City was detected, and Computron deployed onto the battlefield there. While Lodestar was enough to scare off most of the attacking Decepticons,Strika's Heavies stood their ground and engaged Computron who managed to fend them off untilOptimus Prime arrived and demanded a ceasefire ofStrika. With the battle over, Computron disengaged and Scattershot explained to Optimus what had happened to them.The Landscape of Fear Too drained of energon to combine again, they were sent ahead toDarkmount, leaving the Autobots unable to turn Computron against therust worms orInsecticons.End of Time

By the time that theDecepticons were using animploder to bar Optimus Prime's path to Darkmount, the Technical Solutions Team had been refuelled, the sight of the advancing Computron breakingSkywarp's concentration and allowingJumpstream to teleport him and the imploder away. Unwilling to engage the combiner, Megatron allowed the Autobots to press forward, Computron escorting them to safety.

When the Decepticons finally attacked Darkmount, Computron fought alongsideLeviathan, facing off againstDevastator. After a mighty punch from theConstructicon combiner broke Computron back into his components, Scattershot called for volunteers. WhenPipes,Flareup,Backstreet,Javelin, andGroove stepped forward, Computron was reborn as a ten-bot combiner. Buying time for the Autobots to escape Cybertron, Computron managed to overpower Devastator, though failed to kill him, before he was fired upon by the totality of the Decepticon force. Overwhelmed, Computron broke back into his components, having bought enough time for the Autobots to launch.Fate of Cybertron

All combiners are more powerful than the sum of their parts, but Computron was an unusual case: it was hisintellect that received the highest boost, making him the most intelligent of all the combiners. However, this intelligence made him slow to react, to the point where processing a single decision in the heat of battle could take longer than advisable.The Enigma of Combination

  • Lightspeed (Carded Technobot, 1987)
  • Nosecone (Carded Technobot, 1987)
  • Strafe (Carded Technobot, 1987)
Released in the fourth year of Hasbro's USThe Transformers toyline (third year in Europe and in Takara'sFight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers line), Computron is a super robot formed out of all five Technobots. As a "Scramble City" style combiner, each smaller Technobot attaches as a limb into the central body,Scattershot. He is completed by attaching fists, feet, a large chestplate, and head and is armed with Scattershot's rifle. LikeBruticus, one can leave most of the smaller toys' vehicle mode weapons attached when combining them.
According to the instructions, he wassupposed to come with two different foot-plates: one with a centered peg, and one with the peg offset to Computron's right in order to accommodateNosecone's dual post-holes in limb mode. However, the final product just has two of the same center-peg footplate, thus Nosecone in leg mode will always have an off-center foot. When attached as his legs, Nosecone andLightspeed are two of the very few "Scramble City"-style limbs who face backwards, Lightspeed in particular due to clearance issues with his feet and Computron's footplate.
Nominally, each component was sold individually; the smaller carded limb-bots could also come with a randomly-packed AutobotDecoy.


  • Computron (Gift set,1987)
  • Takara ID number:C-91
  • Accessories: All individual-release toys' accessories
The entire Technobot team was also sold in a large box set. All of the toys within are identical to their individual-packaged releases.
This box set was the only place to get Computron's clip-out bio andTech Specs.

  • Known designers:Ed Masiello (Hasbro)
Part of the third wave ofKre-OKreonMicro-Changer combiner sets, Computron comes as a set of four component Kreons:Afterburst,Lightstorm,Scattershot, andStrafe. The Kreons can be built into their robot modes or their vehicle modes, or they can be built into Computron by taking them apart and combining their pieces.
Like the entire Micro Changer combiner sets, Computron comes with only oneKre-O display brick, and a sticker sheet composed of his leg detailing and aKre-O logo. Due to the leg stickers being slightly transparent, applying them into the black-colored leg parts can render the details being semi-transparent. The instructions do not mention where theKre-O logo sticker should be applied. Computron's combined mode's waist part is prone to falling off from the assembly while posing, and he has a problem standing straight due to how the legs are constructed.
As Kreon combiners only involve four components,Kre-ONosecone instead ended up as a Series 3 blind-bagged figure.

  • Accessories: Scattershot's rifle & shield, Afterbreaker's two rifles, Lightsteed's gun, Nosecone's drill-gun, Computron hands and feet, Cybaxx Targetmaster
GenerationsCombiner Wars Computron is composed of the entire Technobot team, including new membersScrounge andCybaxx. The five Technobots aregenerally decoed to match their original 1987 figures, but have some occasional hue differences and callouts to details from the cartoon.
WhileScattershot is redecoed from his individual Voyager Class figure, "Lightsteed" (renamed due totrademark issues) andNosecone are redecoed from Deluxe ClassProtectobot Streetwise andBrawl respectively (with Nosecone using theBotCon 2016 exclusiveGeneral Ramhorn figure's drill accessory), whereas "Afterbreaker" (also renamed),Strafe and Scrounge/Cybaxx are retooled fromCombiner Wars Deluxe ClassProtectobot Groove,Air Raid andThrilling 30 Legends ClassAutobot Cosmos/Payload, respectively. Scrounge can attach to Strafe (thanks to an added peg that's part of the retool), who forms Computron's left arm in the official configuration.
LikeVictorion, Computron features new pairs of hands and feet, resembling the cartoon model versions and the original toys'. The hands can be stored underneath the feet's cavity when Computron is not formed, and were later reused asUnite WarriorsBaldigus's hands and feet.
Computron was only available as part of a box set, including a poster and a collector card based on his packaging art. The set was one of several so-called "Collection Packs" that were "online exclusives" in the United States, available from online retailers such asHasbro Toy Shop,Amazon andBigBadToyStore as well as the online stores of "big box" retailers such asToys"R"Us,Walmart,Target, andKmart. In Hasbro's Asian markets such as Singapore and Taiwan, the set was available at general retail. In Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, it was sold at Toys"R"Us stores, whereas in Spain, it was available via the Spanish subsidiaries ofAmazon and Carrefour, as well as the department store chain El Corte Inglés, supposedly also only available online.

  • Known designers:Hisashi Yuki (TakaraTomy)
The fifth release in the standard-retailUnite Warriors lineup, Takara's take on "Computicon" is very different from Hasbro's version. Only two of the figures,Scattershot andAfterburner, use the same base sculpts as theirCombiner Wars releases, and Scattershot has been retooled to have a different combiner chest and head sculpt more closely resembling Computicon's original design.Strafe,Lightspeed, andNosecone are retooled fromUnite WarriorsBlast Off,Combiner WarsWheeljack, andRook, respectively. All five figures are decoed to much more closely match their cartoon appearances, and have been given a suite of new weapons (most of which only superficially look like their toy/cartoon weapons atbest) that can combine into a super-rifle for Computicon to use.
Strangely, he does not include the same dedicated hands and feet as the Hasbro version. Instead he opts to use the standardCombiner Wars hand/foot guns. The packaging and instructions also assign the "wrong" HFG to each Techbot, though only Lightspeed is actually affected by this since his HFG has unique tooling left over fromSunstreaker.
Like previousUnite Warriors releases, his box gives his Western name, Computron, in English alongside his Japanese moniker, Computicon, in katakana.


Notes

Machinima-CW-Computron.jpg
  • All of the Technobots' pre-final rear-viewrobot mode models were seemingly drawn based on the isometric view of their front models. While at least two members of the team were left unaffected by this,Scattershot,Afterburner, and Computron's models all ended up with horribly drawn rear-views. In Computron's case, Afterburner's arm is misinterpreted as part of the torso with another arm drawn right next to it. His thighkibble (Scattershot's folded up legs) is also drawn completely different on either leg, and the backs of his feet are different from one another too. One of the largest oddities of Computron's rear-view model is the fact that the entire back of his torso is actually just a widened version ofLightspeed's chest!
    • Unfortunately, most of this comes down to how badly drawn and colored Computron's front view is. Strafe's nose cones/guns are drawn differently from one another; having the one at the front missing its fin, while the back fin is plainly visible. The aforementioned issue with Afterburner's arms is also present (even down to the part being colored the same as his chest plate). These issues appear to be a fault of the toy photo references the designer/s would've used. They were likely shot on a similar angle, skewing the perspective, leading to parts being placed in weird places on the body.
    • As with just about every episode animated byAKOM, the pre-final models of the Technobots were used, leading to several episodes using these rear-views.
    • There is evidence of a revised set of rear-view models existing for all of the Technobots in theToei-animated episodes, however, those models appear to have been lost after season 3, as Toei ended up using the pre-final versions forThe Headmasters cartoon.
  • Since the Japanese name for the Decepticons is "Destrons", any Destron subgroup names, such as "Combatron" or "Stuntron", also ended with "-tron". The association was further enforced by the presence of the individual Transformer names "Megatron" and "Galvatron". Thus Computron's name was changed to "Computicon" for the Japanese market. Oddly, this makes his name match the general pattern for Decepticon subgroup names in English-speaking markets.
  • The mid-development revisions of theMachinimaCombiner Wars cartoon meant that Computron's animation model (at right) ultimately wound up having theGeneration 1 toy as a base with bits of theCombiner Wars figure Frankenstein-ed on.
  • Like most ‘’Earth Wars’’ models, Computron is based on his most current toy, but he is a mix of his two concurrent designs: the upper body is his ‘Unite Warriors’ model while the legs are a (more detailed) recreation of his ‘’Combiner Wars’’ components.
