Delivery capsule

Hotboxing in the space coffin

As the war rages across the galaxy, one of the pieces of technology used by the Decepticons is the delivery capsule. This coffin-like device fully envelops a Cybertronian and directly infuses energon into their system. The amount of time spent in the capsule determines the potency of the infusion, with a longer infusion referred to as a "hit". The capsule can also be used for repair purposes instead of a CR chamber.

Fiction

2005 IDW continuity

Starscream loaded himself up on Ore-13 in preparation for his battle with Megatron, spending a whole mega-cycle inside the capsule, emerging wreathed in a cloud of energon-pink gas. Infiltration #6 After his battle with Optimus Prime in Brasnya, Megatron used the delivery capsule to restore himself. Escalation #6

Notes

• When Megatron emerges from the capsule, the gas released is a smokey white, not pink, presumably because he wasn't huffing pure Ore-13 in there this time.
• Astrotrain says that Starscream spends a mega-cycle in the delivery capsule. According to Simon Furman, that means he spent 93 hours absorbing Ore-13. Wow.
