- Geckobot is a Maximal from the Beast Machines portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The agile Geckobot is both highly intelligent and very creative. Their sail-like wings absorb energy, which they store in a module on their back for use in their energy pulse weapons. They're very maneuverable in flight, and the absorption properties of their wings make them perfect for long-range missions.
In their spare time, they like to create garbage art from scrapped Vehicons.
Fiction
Beast Wars: Uprising
Geckobot was part of a cell of Maximals who rebelled against the status quo imposed by their Autobot masters. They joined a nighttime raid on Ferromax Detention Center to free Dynobot, though Geckobot wasn't very keen on the name chosen for their concealment: the impercepton shield. When they rendezvoused with Rattrap, Geckobot recalled they'd heard reports the other Maximal had died, but Rattrap assured them the rumors were false. The team went on to liberate Dynobot. Prologue
Toys
Beast Machines
- Geckobot (Basic, 2000)
- Part of the third wave of Beast Machines Basics, Geckobot does not actually transform into a gecko despite their name; their technorganic beast mode is instead based on a flying dragon. Their wings are geared to "flap" in beast mode and become arm-mounted blades in robot mode. Their spark crystal forms their beast mode eyes and is revealed fully by flipping open their lizard skull. Gruesome!
Notes
- Geckobot had the pre-release name of Kamilion.[1]
- Geckobot cannot actually get you a great deal on car insurance from Geico.
- Geckobot's body in Alone Together is based on two separate retools of the Wheeljack mold in the Prime toylines; their head is Dead End's, while their body is that of the Beast Hunters retool of Wheeljack.
- Funnily enough, thanks to an absence of pronouns in their toy bio and not being referred to by any in "Alone Together", Geckobot's gender remains ambiguous despite having an appearance in fiction.
