MECH

This article is about the evil organization. For the mechanical suits from Crossovers, see Mech.

MECH is a human organization from the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family.

All he needs is a cat. Possibly a robot cat.

MECH is an organization working in opposition to the United States government. They seek to create a "newer world order" through the application of cutting-edge technology. For MECH, procuring such technology includes stealing it. It isn't clear what "MECH" stands for, if anything.

Known members include:

• Silas, the leader.
• An unnamed navigator who flies helicopters and counteracts hackers.
• An unnamed soldier who acts as a bodyguard for Silas
• An unnamed surgeon who provides the Transformer components for MECH.

The world in which we live is a different one than previously imagined. One which has spawned its own Decepticons in human skin.Optimus Prime on MECH, "Convoy"

Fiction

Prime cartoon

Aiming to secure the Dynamic Nuclear Generation System, Silas shot down Agent Fowler's jet. When Fowler continued his journey by truck, Silas sent MECH agents in cars to try and intercept the convoy, only to experience resistance from the vehicles, which were in reality Autobots. The convoy came under attack from Vehicons, resulting in the Autobots revealing their true forms and thus though MECH's further attempt to secure the D.N.G.S. resulted in failure, they at least learned of the Autobots' presence on Earth. Convoy

MECH's next operation concerning the Transformers involved capturing Breakdown on the Kamchatka Peninsula. Though a group of Autobots, including Bulkhead who directly assaulted the MECH base, managed to free Breakdown, MECH had been able to extract enough information that Silas could initiate Project Chimera. Operation: Breakdown

Silas's team encountered the rogue Decepticon Airachnid, who cut a deal with them: if Silas could find Jack Darby for her, she would give them Arcee. Silas was successful in locating Jack's mother June Darby and they used her to lure Jack and Arcee to a factory in Jasper. MECH didn't get a chance to extract any technology from Arcee before Fowler arrived, but Silas was able to observe Airachnid scanning a helicopter. Crisscross Fowler was still on edge enough a bit later to at first blame a Decepticon theft on MECH. One Shall Fall

As Project Chimera neared completion, MECH set a homing beacon trap for a Transformer to investigate. When Bumblebee fell for the bait, they ambushed the Autobot and removed his T cog. Back at base, they attempted to install it in their custom-made robot, only to meet with failure, however they'd been followed by the ex-Decepticon Starscream, who entered into an alliance with them.

After securing the necessary energon, MECH tried again, but their activation of the robot was instrrupted by Bumblebee. MECH was forced to retreat, minus both the cog and the robot, however they were able to obtain another cog from Starscream. Operation Bumblebee, Part 2

With Silas on a drive for revenge against Jack Darby for the incident with Airachnid, MECH began blowing up high schools in Jasper County in an attempt to draw the boy out. It didn't seem to work out as well as Silas hoped. School Is... Out!

Notes

• The chartreuse cars MECH agents drive appear to be based on Chevrolet Corvettes, circa 1980.
