A drone is a manufactured non-sentient robot, both intelligent and non-intelligent. Though many end up mass-produced as army fodder, this is not always the case, nor are all mass armies made up of drones.

Live-action film series

Movie (2007)

In the Titan magazine continuity, drones here have a "fulcrum drone", a drone that the others are linked to and informs them of allegiance and objective; if it's reprogrammed, the drones switch sides. Revolution Part 2 IDW Publishing's comics are unclear on the nature of their drones, although Chris Mowry has said he sees them as protoforms whose lack of intelligence led them to be designated as livestock assigned to simple tasks (he sees the multiple Constructicons as a prime example). A character like Dreadwing was a drone who showed signs of actual intelligence.[1]

Revenge of the Fallen

Drones are small scouts used by Decepticons for salvage, reconnaissance, and infiltration. They have little firepower, which has earned them the nickname "scrap drones" from other Decepticons.[2]

Likely drones

Power Core Combiners

Many, but not all, PCC Commanders have small teams of drones under their control. They can also combine with these drones to form larger robots. By design, all PCC Commanders are compatible with the PCC drones and can merge with them in a variety of combinations.

Age of Extinction

Using the corpses of dead Cybertronians, the human-operated company Kinetic Solutions Incorporated specialized in creating new, prototype drones via salvaged transformium and controlling them via remote operation. Because the drones had no real sparks, they transformed very differently than normal Autobots or Decepticons; they could split into a cloud of free-flowing transformium and instantly reassemble themselves into robot or vehicle configurations. The largest and most advanced drone prototype, code-named Galvatron, would eventually be commandeered by the rogue spark of Megatron, resurrecting the Decepticon leader in a new body. Galvatron would eventually revolt against his creators, revealing his sentience to KSI and bringing the rest of the drones to life (except for Oreo Transformer) to serve as a new Decepticon army.
