- Cyberdroids are a type of Cybertronian from the The Headmasters portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
A Cyberdroid (セイバードロイド Seibādoroido) is a Cybertronian who has not mastered the art of transformation, and is as yet unable to reconfigure their body into an alternate mode. All known Cyberdroids are of diminutive stature compared to normal Cybertronians, standing at a height comparable to that of a tall human being, but it is not clear if this is a required characteristic to be classified as a Cyberdroid.
Fiction
The Headmasters cartoon
Four million years ago, seeking to escape the unending war on Cybertron, Fortress led a group of Cyberdroids into space, seeking a new world they could call home. Unfortunately for them, they landed on the inhospitable planet Master, where the hostile atmospheric conditions forced them to learn to transform in order to survive.
They all underwent the rigorous training of body and mind needed to master the art of transformation, and the most adept warriors learned to transform into heads which could attach to larger, lifeless bodies called Transtectors. The Mystery of Planet Master After these new-born "Headmasters" departed Master to rejoin the war on Cybertron in 2011, more of the Cyberdroids began training to become Headmasters, and became known as the "Autobot Master Warriors".
Later, when the Decepticons invaded planet Master, a group of refugee Cyberdroids fled the planet to acquire the help of the Autobots on Earth. They were caught in a plasma energy explosion along with half-a-dozen Autobot and Decepticon warriors, and were fused to the wrists of the larger robots as weapons, becoming the Targetmasters. Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)
Micromaster
Not long after Fortress's Cyberdroids left Cybertron, the Autobot and Decepticon leaders, Optimus Prime and Megatron, also departed the planet with their elite forces in a search for new sources of energy. They proceeded to crash-land on prehistoric Earth, and eventually, in the early 1980s, a group of Autobot Cyberdroids set out to search for their lost leader and the Matrix of Leadership. Struck by a dimensional shockwave, the Cyberdroids were teleported across the galaxy and found themselves on Earth, suddenly gifted with the power of transformation by the strange energy that had enveloped them. Additionally, several of their number had their minds warped by the shockwave, and became Decepticons, and these two factions of "Micromasters" began battling on Earth. A New Transformer Legend Begins!!
Notes
- The term "Cyberdroid" was apparently created for the small, non-transforming Cybertronians in the Micromaster storyline. This article is adopting the position that it is retroactively applicable to the small, non-transforming Cybertronians from the Headmasters animated series.
