Chaindrive is an Autobot.

Or at least that's what he thought for a long time, before realizing at Alpha Trion's urging that he was, in fact, a component of a long-lost, ancient combiner.

Fiction

Aligned novels

Chaindrive was one of the many Autobots who remained on Cybertron after its demise. However, Alpha Trion realized that there was far more potential in him. With the aid of Wheeljack, the two of them constructed a jury-rigged space bridge, which sent Chaindrive to the tomb of Solus Prime, where he met up with the other Autobots. Carrying one of the Blades of Time, granted to him by Alpha Trion, he aided Optimus in locating the lost Vector Prime.

Upon arriving on Junkion, Chaindrive was reunited with three other Velocitronians and Junkions; the equally enigmatic, Pinion, Mainspring, and Clocker. Their combined energy awoke the fifth and final member of the team, the dormant Cannonspring. Together, they realized their true heritage and destiny, and for the first time in eons reunited into the mighty Nexus Prime.

Displaying the ability to hold more weapons than an armory, Nexus Prime pulled forth his Omni Saber and passed the Cyber Caliber over to Optimus Prime. Although he refused to kill anyone, Nexus Prime held off the Decepticons and the Star Seekers for a time, on intimidation alone. As Megatron and Thundertron left to pursue other goals, Nexus Prime reclaimed his swords and gave Optimus Prime some last words of encouragement before splitting himself again. Reduced to a set of five protoforms, Nexus Prime vanished into space and the annals of history once more. Exiles
