Fiction

Cyberverse cartoon

Voice actor: Jaime Lamchick (English)

At some point following Cybetron's restoration, Affluous forced Teknicus to build a device that would divide and segregate the Monsterbots, with Affluous' loyalists becoming "Energon Masters" and those he deemed unworthy being branded as "bugs". Becoming one such Energon Master, Operatus would perform for Affluous' elaborate energon parties.

When Bumblebee arrived at one of his parties looking for Grimlock, an argument between him and Affluous regarding how the ergon was being used was interrupted by Operatus, who was suddenly paralyzed by "the shocks" and had to be taken to Affluous' dungeon. When Bumblebee was incarcerated moments later, an imprisoned Teknicus explained the truth behind both the shocks and Affluous' segregation of the Monsterbots. Bumblebee then powered up with multiverse energy to initiate a jailbreak, freeing Operatus.

Arriving at the edge of the city, Bumblebee and Teknicus explained that the truth behind the Affluous' rise to power. When Bumblebee destroyed the machine, Operatus transformed into a beast mode similar to the bugs'. The Monsterbots' celebrated their reunion as a beast-mode Affluous fled in defeat.

Toys

Cyberverse

• Repugnus Revenge (Target-exclusive gift set, 2020)

Part of Target's Cybertronian Villains line of store exclusives, Cyberverse Repugnus Revenge includes a green and teal redeco of One-Step Changer Repugnus that seems to be based off Operatus.

This set was a center of confusion for many fans, as it showed up in Target stores without a prior announcement from Hasbro. While this is not uncommon for Cyberverse exclusives, all toys in the set are labeled as Decepticons. Oddly accurate to the show, the packaging shows the larger Repugnus in robot mode compared to the smaller Pesticons in beast mode, similar to how the Monsterbots were presented in the cartoon.

Notes

• Operatus' insect-beast mode is inspired by the Titan Master accessory vehicle included with Generation 1 Repugnus's Titans Return toy. Her robot mode, meanwhile, is heavily inspired by the original Repugnus' special edition Titans Return toy.
