King

This article is about the Cybertronian that burns inside with flame-broiling deliciousness. For the Cybertronian that burns inside with universe-destroying evil, see The Fallen. For a list of other meanings, see King (disambiguation).

The King is an unaffiliated Transformer from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action film continuity family.

Arrrr, that'll replace the whale in me nightmares.

After crashing to Earth in 1954, the King scanned a broiler for his alternate mode and became Burger King's Flame-Broiling Culinary Engineer. Despite having a "Conversation" Tech Spec rank of 0, he somehow revealed his burgering secrets to the Burger King scientists, and stayed hidden on Earth for decades, waiting for the arrival of his fellow Transformers from Cybertron. It is possible that the King is the mastermind behind the BBQ Double Stackticon!

The King is frightening as all hell.

When a lucky customer who had just left a Burger King proclaimed that he had a winning Transform Your Way scratch-off ticket, King dutifully transformed into robot mode and burst through the restaurant's wall to deliver the prize: a pallet bearing one million dollars in cash. The bespectacled winner was quite pleased with this development. The restaurant's manager was not. He emerged from the massive hole King had just made to declare that a million dollars was about how much it would take to fix this mess, to which King simply shrugged in response. The manager further informed King that this time outside of his normal duties counted as his break. King seemed quite dejected to hear this.

In a similar incident, another customer had also won a million dollars, but his associate remained unconvinced until King once again transformed and burst through the restaurant's wall and conveniently found an armored car in mid-travel, halting it and ejecting its rear doors with a single strike from his mighty fist. After noting that the bills that ejected from the rear door were not a million dollars, King proceeded to tip the rest of the car's contents onto the ground. The customer's associate remarked amazingly that the customer had even won a security guard that had spilled out along with an undetermined amount of cash. Transform Your Way television commercials

Notes

• Burger King itself was also established in 1954, so it is likely that it was the culinary technology the King shared that allowed the fast food chain to get off the ground.
• King was designed by Josh Nizzi, just like the robots in the film itself.
