:''Dewbot is an Elite Mountain Dew Robot in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].

[[Image:Dewbot.jpg|thumb|300px|Remember when [[Robo-Capers]] used to do these as ''jokes''?]]

'''Dewbot''' is a covert infiltration agent specializing in heavily trafficked human instillations. You could walk by him, even stop and ''touch'' him, and never know you'd interacted with a Transformer.

Dewbot transforms into a large [[Wikipedia:Mountain Dew|Mountain Dew]] vending machine -- effectively invisible to humans who are used to seeing them everywhere. The moment their backs are turned, Dewbot engages his whisper-mode transformation sequence and continues on his mission. The result is quite similar to Bugs Bunny disguising himself as a bush.

Dewbot's robot mode has four arms canted front and rear, affording him an almost spider-like dexterity. Magnetic grapplers on his feet allow him to scale walls and even ceilings. He is strong enough to shatter 3 inch steel with his bare hands. Completing the illusion of his alternate mode, Dewbot is capable of dispensing Mountain Dew or Code Red.

Dewbot's craft relies on remaining undetected; he has no on-board armaments and his land speed is below average. He cannot see in the dark.

He also enjoys the lost art of ''dance'', often taking time in the middle of a mission to strut his stuff.

:''('''Note''': All references to the name 'Dewbot' were removed from the game for its final release, where he is identified only as one of the Elite Mountain Dew Robots. The name Dewbot can still be found in the internal game resources. It is a proper noun.'')

==Fiction==
[[Image:Dewbot altmode.jpg|thumb|"Was that vending machine here a minute ago?"]]

Dewbot staked out [[Sector Seven]] headquarters while the [[Allspark]] was being moved, following the relocation team in and evading detection in order steal it.{{Storylink|Capture the Cube}}

Since Dewbot failed to capture the Allspark in any known continuity, presumably his infiltration ended with the 'Game Lost' ending, in which he triggers one too many alarms and the Allspark is locked down.

The timing of Dewbot's mission is unclear, but the Allspark's relocation implies that it falls either before (or immediately after) [[James Farr]]'s death on March 16 2006, or after [[Rebecca Howard]]'s arrest on April 1st 2007, since Dr. Howard stonewalled all experimentation on the Allspark in the interim.

==Elite Mountain Dew Robots==
Upon completing the game, you can enter Dewbot in the ranks of the '''Elite Mountain Dew Robots'''.

The origin of the Elite Mountain Dew Robots is unknown. They could be other Transformers that came to Earth, or possibly [[Real Gear Robots]] awakened by the [[Allspark]]'s area-effect. If this is the case, one must wonder how the hell that much metal managed to get inside a Mountain Dew machine. Dewbot is never identified as Autobot or Decepticon, instead he sports the Mountain Dew logo on his forehead where a faction symbol would normally go. The Mountain Dew Robots may represent their own faction. A faction of REFRESHMENT.

There's probably a red one. And a blue one. And two black ones. And a ''diet'' one...

==Dew City==
[[Image:Dew-city autobot.jpg|thumb|The Apocalypse never tasted so good.]]
The [[Transform Your Summer]] promotional site included images of '''Dew City'''; a horrible (yet strangely refreshing) post-apocalyptic Earth where the planet's entire water supply had been transformed into Mountain Dew and a gleaming emerald cityscape rose to cover the entire planet. The Dew City images were available in both Autobot and Decepticon versions.

''Dew City's origins are unknown, but it appears to be linked to a recurring image on the Transform Your Summer site of the Allspark, floating in orbit of Earth, nearly colliding with a 20oz. bottle of Mountain Dew...

== Trivia ==
Dewbot is not the only Pepsi product vending machine in the Movie continuity family. In a sequence near the end of [[Transformers (2007)]], when [[Sam Witwicky]] accidently activates the All Spark and it transforms an SUV, an [[X-Bot 360|X-Box 360]], and a Mountain Dew soda machine into robots, the soda machine is a completely different design. Unnamed in the film, it has been dubbed "Dispensor" by [[Aaron Archer]].

The Capture the Cube game was developed by Tribal DDB Dallas.

All animation for the Capture the Cube game was developed by Replaced by Robots, a Canadian animation studio.
