- Mol is a Maximal from the Beast Era portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Mol is an ancient task drone, recently reformatted after being offline for eons, due to the machinations of Decepticons. In the present day, he now uses his digging abilities towards finding organic life on Cybertron, or sabotages the Vehicons' effort to eradicate the Maximals by planting sophisticated silicon-encased explosives close to the enemy's emplacements. Although he is reliable, he possesses a negative-attitude, and is often depressed. Nonetheless, he possesses offensive capabilities, and can fire his metal tearing, serrated circular blade that slices through Vehicon circuits.
