Attitude exchanger

An attitude exchanger is a device from the cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

It's happy! It's fun! It's Happy Fun Ball!!
(Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly, and children should avoid prolonged exposure to Happy Fun Ball.)

Attitude exchangers are small devices which Sparkplug Witwicky developed to reverse the effects of Megatron's personality destabilizer device. The principle they work upon is:

1. Drain evil
2. Recharge good
3. Bury Jazz

Fiction

The Transformers cartoon

After Megatron sabotaged the Autobots' recharging chamber and turned them all evil, Sparkplug slapped together an attitude exchanger. With Jazz's help, he was able to use it to return Bluestreak to normal. The three Autobots soon tracked down Ratchet and Hound, whom Megatron had sent after Doctor Harding, and restored the pair to good.

The rest of the Autobots were busy wrecking planes, at least until they were restored to good with the remainder of the attitude exchangers. The repaired Autobots were then able to foil Megatron's plan to steal a solar satellite. Attack of the Autobots

Games

Sparkplug created the attitude exchanger under similar circumstances. Attack of the Autobots
