:''Teletraan II is a computer in the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.''

'''Teletraan II''' is the successor system to [[Teletraan I]], installed in [[Autobot City]]. Given some of its displays, it likely has [[Sky Spy]] technology.

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
''Voice Actor: [[Frank Welker]] (US), [[Yoku Shioya]] (Japan).''

Teletraan II played back the [[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5|battle between Metroplex and Trypticon]] several times over for [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]'s amusement. When a request was made of Teletraan II to show the moment when [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] finished [[Trypticon]] "forever," the computer informed the [[Autobot]]s that such was impossible, as that had never happened. Thus did the Autobots learn that Trypticon had not actually been destroyed, as they had previously believed to be the case. Thanks for waiting to tell them that ''after'' Trypticon had left. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}}

Apart from that he makes few other appearances, but on [[Grimlock's New Brain]] he gives the autobots a tad of information. Just a tad.
It also helpfully informed viewers of many facts about characters and concepts in the series at the end of several episodes.

==Trivia==
*Teletraan II was largely devised to cover the departure of [[Casey Kasem]] from the show.

Computron (G1)

2008-04-12T12:33:09Z

88.111.199.7: /* Trivia */

:''Computer is an [[Autobot]] [[combiner]] from the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[Image:Computron.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Probability of [[Devastator]] having bullied him in Gestalt School: 96.374%.]]

'''Computron''' is the combination of the five [[Autobot]] [[Technobot]]s. Typically, the [[combiner]] process dulls the wits of the individual transformers, however, such is not the case for Computron. The Technobots managed to remedy that problem, but in the process, severely lagged Computron's reaction time. Before coming to any decision, Computron must analyze the opinions of every individual Technobot, resulting in his falling behind in battle. In the end, he always makes the correct choice, but more often then not, it's too little, too late. Thanks for nothing, brainiac!

Computron is comprised of:
* [[Scattershot]] (leader)
* [[Afterburner]]
* [[Lightspeed]]
* [[Nosecone]]
* [[Strafe]]

''Japanese name:'' '''Computicon'''

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===

===Generation 1 cartoon===
:''Voice actor: [[Bert Kramer]] (US), [[Yoku Shioya]] (Japan)''

[[Image:computron_animated.jpg|left|200px|thumb|"Probability of having been created by Grimlock, 33.635{{m-}}"<br>"Me Grimlock make big geek! End of story!"]]

After [[Grimlock]] created the Technobots from parts within [[Unicron]]'s head, he revealed that they had the ability to combine to form Computron to counter the new Decepticon combiner [[Abominus]]. Computron stated that his computation capacity was near infinite, but he lacked the knowledge to use this capacity. Grimlock then transferred his [[anti-electron]]-endowed super-intelligence to the combiner via a silly helmet. Computron then proceeded to beat the [[Slag (slang)|slag]] out of Abominus. {{Storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

He later had a chance for a rematch with the Decepticon when the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] were found working with the [[Quintessons]] in secret on the terraformed moon of Titan. He again sent Abominus packing by vibrating violently. {{Storylink|Money is Everything}}

Abominus got Computron back when the Technobots were sent to defend [[Mark Morgan]]'s laboratory. Almost immediately after combining into Computron, Abominus declared that the Autobot 'think too much' and blasted him. {{Storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}

===Generation 1===
*'''Computron''' (1987)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-91'''

: Computron is formed out of all five Technobots. As a Scramble City combiner, each smaller Technobot attach as limbs into the central body, Scattershot. He is completed by attaching fists, feet, a large chestplate, head and is armed with Scattershot's rifle. Like [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], one can leave most of the smaller toys' vehicle mode weapons attached.

:As the combining connection points are on Scattershot's knees, it means there is some baggage around Computron's thighs as Scattershot's lower legs are hanging off them. Also, Nosecone is nominally Computron's left leg, but due to Nosecone's combiner connector being set further back than the hole that the foot attaches to, Nosecone makes Computron look like he's always taking a step forward.

==Trivia==
*Computron's standard animation model uses [[Lightspeed]]'s chest as the combiner's back.
*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 TF names Megatron and Galvatron. Thus Computron's name was changed to "Computicon" for the Japanese market, even though "-ticon" was normally used in the English-speaking market as a stock suffix for Decepticon subgroup names. {{fact|December, 2007}}
*He NEVER shuts up!
