The name or term "Autobot X" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Autobot X (disambiguation).
Autobot X is an Autobot drone from the cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
"ARR I'm a monster, fear me!"

Autobot X was a veritable Frankenstein's monster of an Autobot, a robot constructed from various spare parts at Autobot Headquarters on Earth.

Its patchwork design did not provide it with an alternate mode; however, its mishmash assembly gave it the use of various Autobots' special powers and weapons.
