- Dispensor is an Allspark Mutation and Decepticon from the 2007 movie franchise in the live-action film continuity family.
Dispensor is one of several robots who transform into Mountain Dew vending machines. This particular one came online during the battle of Mission City.
Fiction
Transformers (2007)
When Sam Witwicky accidentally activated the All Spark during his flight from the Decepticons in Mission City, the artifact's radiation animated an SUV steering wheel, an Xbox 360, and a Mountain Dew soda machine into robots. This Mountain Dew robot, named Dispensor, has an arm-mounted can-cannon. You might think this is pretty ridiculous, but unopened soda cans are much less delicious and refreshing when used as high-speed projectiles. Transformers
IDW Transformers Movie sequel comics
Shortly after the Mission City battle's conclusion, Dispensor attacked Sam Witwicky, only to be crushed to death by Ratchet. The Autobot medic strongly disapproved of his soft drink of choice. Alliance #1
Toys
Transformers (2007)
Robot Heroes
- Ironhide vs. Dispensor (2008)
- Dispensor is included in a Robot Heroes two-pack along with a somersaulting Mission City battle Ironhide. He is branded as a Decepticon, and of course, has no Mountain Dew markings on him at all. All four of his arms have swivel articulation at the shoulder (or equivalent).
Notes
- The name "Dispensor" was first suggested to Greg Lombardo, Hasbro's head of Marketing for Transformers, by Daniel "Suspsy" Suh during a tour of Hasbro's offices at BotCon 2007. Later that same weekend, Suh shouted out the name during one of the Hasbro panels.
- According to CineFex magazine issue 111, the inclusion of Dispensor into the film was a last minute addition and all the modeling and animation for it was done in only four weeks!
- Titan Magazines' Transformers Comic issue 7 features an Allspark-animated soda can machine, but it's not clear if it is supposed to be Dispensor, or if it's another one that we didn't see before that was just inspired by Dispensor's appearance in the film. It sure as heck doesn't look like Dispensor, but with this art...
- Dispensor's place as a member of the Mountain Dew Robots is unclear. He may qualify simply by being a, uh, Mountain Dew robot. However, what little we know about the Mountain Dew Robots comes from Dewbot, whose origin is unknown. The MDRs may be a group of alien robots who took on Mountain Dew disguises, whereas Dispensor is an Allspark Mutation who was born on Earth.
