- Trepan is an Autobot from the 2005 IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Trepan is as shadowy as they come. Ostensibly a worker at a Relinquishment Clinic, Trepan is actually a part of the shadowy facility known as the Institute, conducting mnemosurgery, Shadowplay, and Primus knows what else in the field of warping minds. As a member of a clandestine organization, he should probably be more discreet about what he gets engraved on himself.

Notes
[edit]- Trepanning is a surgical procedure involving making a hole in the patient's skull, sometimes done for its own sake to allegedly release pressure or evil spirits. Seems Chief Justice Tyrest is a fan.
- Megatron is still at Messatine during "Shadowplay", but Shockwave is still a dissident senator during "Births, Deaths, and Interventions". Trepan must've sped off to Messatine during "Shadowplay".
Foreign names
[edit]- Japanese: Trepan (トレパン Torepan)
