- Anode is a Camien Transformer from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Anode was born a blacksmith, a specialist who is able to -- with training -- sculpt a malfunctioning protoform into its intended working order. However, for reasons she refuses to disclose, the sharp-tongued and irreverent Anode fled this life and declared herself instead an archaeologist, treasure-hunter, and adventurer. There's no artifact too risky for Anode to retrieve... even if her partner Lug begs to differ.
