Create-A-Bot (Autobot)

This article is about the Autobot. For his evil counterpart, see Create-A-Bot (Decepticon).

Create-A-Bot is an Autobot from the 2007 movie franchise in the live-action film continuity family.

Create-A-Bot, also known as "Kid", "the Young One", and "Whatever the slag you want to want to call him", is a young Autobot soldier. Eager to fight and prove himself, he is very much the typical brash young youth with a lot of potential. He has never seen his people's home world of Cybertron, making him a testament to the effect that the war between the Autobots and Decepticons has had on Transformers of his generation.

Thanks to Wheeljack, he can store the data of numerous vehicle forms, making him very versatile in the number of alternate modes he can adopt. He also has a Decepticon counterpart.

“	You Decepticons don't know when to quit. Time to teach you that the bad guys always lose.	”
—Transformers Autobots

Create-A-Bot's in-game name is chosen by the players of the Transformers Autobots video game, and can be anything up to seven letters. "Create-A-Bot" is the name used in the credits, and thus, what is used here.

Create-A-Bot arrived on Earth to assist the Autobots already there. Mentored by Ironhide, he did a "basic systems check" and encountered several Decepticons, who he defeated with hand to hand combat systems. After this he was asked to scan a car, despite his initial protestations. Soon after, he was ordered to destroy a group of Decepticons attacking a large structure, quickly discovering it was a trap for him. Create-A-Bot fought them off and them fought his Decepticon counterpart. Ordered by Ironhide to head to Tranquility to receive new orders, Create-A-Bot was shocked to receive them from Optimus Prime who tasked him with protecting the inhabitants of Earth, Humans. After fighting a Decept icon destroying property, Create-A-Bot was attacked by human authorities, and hid in vehicle mode for a time, before destroying two Decepticons without risking harming humans. After this Prime ordered him to rendezvous with Bumblebee, who asked him to scan new vehicle forms, the third of which turned out to be a Decepticon, after defeating the Decepticon, he asked Bumblebee why the Decepticons had brought their entire army to Earth, which Bumblebee was cryptic about.

Not aware of the true nature of his mission at first, he eventually found out that the Autobots were on Earth to retrieve both the All Spark and Megatron. Being the youngest and most inexperienced member of Optimus Prime's team, he was determined to prove himself. Unfortunately, his brashness nearly cost him when he went against orders and assisted Bumblebee in distracting Sector Seven agents, only to end up luring them back to him. Bumblebee threw himself in the line of fire to allow Create-A-Bot to escape, which left the young one ridden with guilt. He managed to rescue Bumblebee and earn the other Autobots' respect. When Megatron took the All Spark and battled Prime, Create-A-Bot attacked him, knocked the All Spark out of Megatron's hands and jammed it into his chest, taking his own life to weaken Megatron. After Prime defeated Megatron, Create-A-Bot's last wishes were that Prime make Earth the new home of the Autobots, to defend it against any other Decepticon threats. Transformers Autobots

Create-A-Bot (named Unknown in this version, & in the form of a white Notchback) arrived at the Space Needle after four of his comrades were destroyed by his evil counterpart. Upon reaching the area, before the two of them engaged in battle, he told his opposite number to teach him why "the bad guys always lose." His counterpart responded that the Autobots are no better than the Decepticons; they might be on opposite sides, but they're both playing the same game. Despite all this, Create-A-Bot was defeated at the hands of his Decepticon equivalent, despite his insistence that "You're messing with the best here!" Transformers Decepticons

Notes

• Create-A-Bot's origin is hard to reconcile with other movie fiction as he is a pre-existing Transformer (and thus presumably created by the All Spark), yet he has never seen Cybertron, the only place the All Spark ever WAS before being lost. Maybe he was born blind?
• Several of Create-A-Bot's alternate modes cannot be accessed in the game, but can be obtained by WiFi points in the Transformers Autobots/Decepticons online game, "AllSpark Wars".
