	The '''Negavator''' was a "superweapon" built by the [[Autobot]]s on [[Earth]], in cooperation with the military of the [[United States of America]]. One of [[Wheeljack (G1)\|Wheeljack]]'s successful creations, the Negavator was a massive energy weapon mounted on tank-like treads. The center of its turret featured a Transformer-sized cockpit with a dome-shaped cover that had a viewport that looked down along the barrel of the weapon. The cockpit was able to withstand an impact from [[Ramjet (G1)\|Ramjet]], but it couldn't protect [[Red Alert (G1)\|Red Alert]] from being tackled by [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Starscream]]. The Negavator's barrels (looking suspiciously similar to a planetarium projector) extended from the front and rear of the operator's station; however, only one end was shown to actually discharge the weapon's energy beam. The barrel was shown to have the ability to decline its elevation from horizontal. The weapon had the capacity for remote operation as well.
