Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
In the early stages of the war Rossum perfected a process of rendering a Transformer — ideally one with a certain type of spark known as a "Point One Percenter" that was born on Cybertron — virtually indestructible by the infusion of ununtrium into their endoskeleton. After upgrading Black Shadow, Sixshot and Heretech into "Phase Sixer" superwarriors this way, Rossum was hesitant to use the last of their ununtrium on Overlord as he feared a Transformer from Luna 2 might not survive the process or might rebel and use his newfound power to destroy Megatron, but the Decepticon leader soon talked him round by revealing that Shockwave had implanted both an Achilles virus and a killswitch into Overlord.
At the Foundry, Overlord reacted well to the injection of ununtrium and superheated propex and encouraged by Rossum, he was reborn as a superwarrior. Unfortunately for Rossum, his first action was to burst out of his infusion chamber and crush the scientist's head as Megatron and Shockwave looked on proudly. Remembrance Day
Notes
- Rossum is named after the 1920 Czech science fiction play Rossum's Universal Robots, which introduced the word "robot" into the English language.
