- Dropforge is an Autobot Mini-Con from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
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.

- Voice actor: David Sheinkopf (English)
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 of 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
