- The disposable class is a social stratum from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
On Cybertron under the rule of the Functionist Council, if a Transformer's alt mode is found to be particularly common according to the Grand Cybertron Taxonomy — such as a memory stick or a laser pointer — they are deemed to be part of the disposable class. Members of the disposable class are forced to run on low-grade Energon and are considered, well, disposable by other Cybertronians.
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
Once, the disposable class numbered in their millions. The scientist, explorer, philosopher and author Dominus Ambus formed a friendship with his data receptacle Rewind and developed a series of sense tests to prove that the low-class Transformers had just as much a right to exist as anyone else, but for some reason believed that the ultimate answer to this question lay on the Seething Moon. While Dominus and Rewind went questing for the misplaced satellite, the Functionists were overthrown by the Decepticons and war broke out on Cybertron. Upon their return, they were absorbed into the Autobots.
Four million years later the former members of the disposable class had grown scarce and giant memory stick Rewind had amassed so many datafiles that he was considered such a valuable resource by the other Autobots to be excused combat. Before & After
Notes
- Rewind's mold-mates Rosanna and Flip Sides also appear to be members of the disposable class. Eject hasn't yet appeared in IDW continuity unless that's him in memory stick mode in the lower left corner of the picture above.
- None of Soundwave's cassettes have been positively identified as part of the disposable class so far, though in retrospect it may cast a new light on Soundwave's reformatting of Senator Ratbat into a new "cassette" body during Megatron Origin #4.
