'''Kremzeek''', an electrically-charged energy being, is quite the sneaky bastard. It doesn't take much for [[Blaster (G1)|some]] [[Bumblebee (G1)|people]] to like him or think he's cute, at least until you find out how mischievous it can be. With its abilities to jump through screens and teleport, frazzle the circuits of [[Autobot]]s, and even multiply if given enough energy, [[Megatron (G1)|others]] may find use for him as a weapon.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Wally Burr]] (English), [[Ken Shiroyama]] (Japanese)

[[Image:Kremzeek.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Louie the Lightning Bug's nastier cousin.]]
Kremzeek was accidentally created by [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] and [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] whilst experimenting in the lab of the Decepticons' crashed starship-base. Kremzeek immediately began making the electrical equipment aboard the ship malfunction, giving Megatron the idea to use him as a weapon against the [[Autobot]]s. Kremzeek succeeded in damaging most of the Autobots (leaving only [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Bumblebee]] functional) before entering [[Teletraan I (G1)|Teletraan I]] and traveling to [[Japan]] by riding through the computer's connection to [[Sky Spy]] satellite.

[[Image:Kremzeek multiple Kremzeeks.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Kremzeeks come in various flavors...]]

The remaining Autobots followed in Omega Supreme, after being made invulnerable to Kremzeek's effects by [[Sparkplug Witwicky|Sparkplug]]'s (patent pending) Magical Insulating Spray, but no sooner had they set down on the shores of Tokyo than the electrical imp took down the unprotected Omega. Kremzeek proceeded to wreak havoc through the city, terrorizing a bullet train, a hapless passer-by's walkman and a video arcade, before the Autobots cornered him in the [[Shibuya Manufacturing Corporation]] building. The chief engineer there, Doctor [[Sōji Yoshikawa]], suggested that Blaster try weakening Kremzeek with radio waves, but the little gremlin tried to fight back by leaping into Blaster's chest compartment. Blaster figured to "fry him with his own juice", but he only wound up feeding Kremzeek with his own energy, and caused him to multiply.

[[Image:Kremzeek Autobots create giant Kremzeek.jpg|left|thumb|200px|...and sizes.]]

The Kremzeek swarm began tearing through Tokyo, but Prime and Yoshikawa quickly put their heads together and deduced to a way to reunite the individual creatures. Jury-rigging a tower and charging it with all the energy from a local power plant, the Autobots drew all the Kremzeeks in, but the flaw in their plan was revealed when they merged into a ''giant'' Kremzeek! As the ''kaiju''-sized Kremzeek stomped through the city, both it and the Autobots began to feel the effects of the Decepticons' [[energy magnet]]—the energy-draining device the villains had created while the Autobots were distracted dealing with Kremzeek. Finally hitting on a plan to stop both threats, the Autobots used a nearby radio tower to broadcast Kremzeek straight to the energy magnet, which he destroyed.

As Kremzeek cavorted amongst the remains of the energy magnet, the Autobots approached on a boat with Yoshikawa and some equipment that the scientist could use to disperse Kremzeek's energy and effectively destroy him. Bumblebee spoke out against the plan, dubbing Kremzeek "cute", but Optimus Prime solemnly pressed the fateful button that eradicated the little critter. Reflecting on the whole adventure as they prepared to return home, Blaster remarked that he couldn't help but miss Kremzeek somehow... at which point a solitary Kremzeek, which had previously jumped inside his body, burst from his chest compartment, and the hilarious pursuit antics restarted. {{storylink|Kremzeek!}}

====''Kiss Players''====
[[Image:Kremzeek bullet.jpg|right|thumb|225px]]
Over the next twenty years, Yoshikawa began breeding Kremzeeks in captivity (perhaps after studying the lone remaining creature following its recapture by the Autobots), and weaponized the technology behind the belligerent beasties, creating the "Yoshikawa Type 5 Auto-Kremzeek Launcher" for the [[Earth Defense Command]]. These guns, wielded by the E.D.C.'s [[Autorooper]] mechanoids, fired "Kremzeek bullets": ceramic shells that each contained a Kremzeek, which would be released when the shell shattered on impact to absorb the electrical energy of any mechanoid it struck. The bullets even had a limited paralytic effect on the nervous systems of humans.

When the hapless EDC [[Kiss Player]] [[Atari Hitotonari]] wound up swallowing a [[Legion]], her Autorooper shrunk down to enter her body and destroy the beast, but when it tried shooting its Kremzeek bullets inside her, she violently protested. The Autorooper didn't listen, but it depleted its ammo reserves before doing Atari any damage. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Atari's Close Call?!}}

[[Kayu Michikusa]]'s Autorooper was seen firing a Kremzeek bullet at [[Marissa Faireborn]], who was partially paralyzed by the little creature. {{storylink|Kiss Players issue 2|Kiss Players #2}}

{{note|Kremzeek was not shown doing much of anything within the actual ''Kiss Players'' fiction, but packaging illustrations depicted him getting up to more mischief, such as getting under Atari's skirt and blowing bubbles into [[Shaoshao Li|Shaoshao]]'s drink.}}

Ironhide carelessly discarded one of his cans, allowing it to dribble into the preserve's unsullied waters. [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]] probably shed a tear, just off-panel. {{storylink|Skyfire (issue)|Skyfire}}

[[Push-Button]] was later seen serving these Kremzeek beverages and [[Energon goodie]]s in the [[Autobase (G1)|Autobase]] war room, just before Prowl briefed the assembled Autobots on threat [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]] posed to [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Original Sin}}
