Dropforge is an Autobot from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
You can't see me!


This character has no official visual representation in any Transformers product or media... yet, at least.

Dropforge is a lonely 'bot, a complete 'bot and a common 'bot and yet an unusual 'bot, a 'bot who works the mean streets of the Kaon Police Academy as an instructor. His pride is that you will treat him as a proud 'bot or be very sorry you ever saw him, as he instructs bright-eyed young cadets who haven't yet seen the real Cybertron in all its glorious squalor in the dirty work of forensics and detection.

Fiction

2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon

Dropforge once caught Strongarm and Nightra drag-racing in the Academy's Hall of Studies. Strongarm later insisted that she had only been there to talk Nightra out it. Guilty as Charged

When a case reminded her of Dropforge's teachings, Strongarm stated that he was her favorite instructor at the Academy, and that he was "a real case-hardened sleuth of a 'bot". He apparently had a fondness for excessively dramatic proclamations regarding crime and police work, and was highly competent at his job. Get a Clue

Notes

  • From Strongarm's description and quoting of him, Dropforge is very much a stereotypical hard-boiled detective.
  • Drop forging is a metalworking process that involves heating metal, pouring it into a die, and dropping a hammer on it to form it into the die's shape. For a paramilitary academy's instructor, it's not an inappropriate name.
