Joan

Joan is a human from the cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

My boots would be a whole lot cooler. Like robot boots. And for some reason, I got blue hair. You gotta have blue hair.

Joan is a field archeologist. She likes to make $10 bets with a male colleague on who'll uncover something first at a dig site. She also has blue hair. Perhaps her last name is Bouvier?

Joan and a fellow archeologist named Merrick were working at a research site in South America. While digging into a hillside, Joan discovered something extraordinary. Instead of Mayan pottery and artifacts, she uncovered a metal panel. Extensive excavation revealed the panel was part of the rear of a giant alien spacecraft.

Her discovery gained her international exposure on television, which was how the Autobots and Decepticons found out about the ship.

Joan wanted to open the craft but before she and her team could try, the Decepticons interrupted them and opened fire. Joan and the others climbed into their Jeeps and drove off, and were never heard from again. Microbots
