	Engineer Adam Rook was hired in 1997 by US General [[Robert Hallo]] to design and build an army of intelligent shapeshifting robot soldiers.

Confronted with these setbacks, Hallo changed course, and took advantage of the recent [[Autobot]]/[[Human]] defeat of the [[Decepticon]]s to experiment upon the deactivated Decepticons. Eventually, Rook succeeded in creating a program to control Transformers—the program allowed specific objectives to be input into the Transformer's central intelligence, suppressing their free will but retaining a level of intelligence sufficient to make independent decisions while carrying out the mission.
