This article is about the Machination agent. For the author of Dracula, see Bram Stoker.

Stoker is a human from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Stoker, alias Finklerock, is an agent of the mysterious Machination. He's good at his job - which bodes ill for him, as his job entails messing with big angry robots.

Fiction

IDW comics continuity

Apparently operating out of a trailer in Tucson, Arizona under the name "Finklerock", Stoker infiltrated a Decepticon bunker in Nebraska and took pictures of the interior, storing them on his SM-40 computer. Infiltration issue 3 Stoker boarded a bus in Phoenix, and had his SM-40 stolen by Verity Carlo while he napped. Before he could discover the theft, he was killed by Decepticon agents Runamuck and Runabout. Infiltration issue 0 His body was somehow removed from the bus and dumped in the desert, where it was discovered by the police (among them a Machination agent, who reported his demise to his employers). Infiltration issue 2 Stoker's trailer was subsequently destroyed by Blitzwing and Skywarp Infiltration issue 3, and his SM-40 eventually fell into Autobot hands, leading his Machination comrades (via a homing device in the computer) to their base. Infiltration issue 4

While investigating the SM-40, Nightbeat designated Stoker "Rogue-1." Devastation issue 1

Notes

• While he first appears in Infiltration issue #0, Stoker isn't named until issue #4, several issues after his death.
• Stoker's alias of "Finklerock" is likely derived from the names of Donny Finkleberg and G.B. Blackrock, human supporting characters from Marvel's original Transformers comics.
