- Neutro is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Neutro is the hardest-working member of the Construction Patrol. He accepts the destruction of war with stoicism. He secretly longs for the fighting to be over so he can return to his true vocation: interpretive sculpture.[1]
He is sometimes known as Groundbuster.
In Japan, Neutro is the leader of the "Build Patrol Team" rather than Takedown.
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
Neutro was one of the legions of Dead Universe Micromasters who pursued Hardhead and Nightbeat on Gorlam Prime. He survived to pursue the Autobots into the planet's subterranean caverns, and helped the Jhiaxus-possessed Nightbeat dig out after Hardhead triggered a cave-in. Spotlight: Hardhead
Regeneration One
Neutro was part of a team along with Groundpounder, Takedown, Crumble and Erector, under the command of Quickmix, that constructed the Nebulan end of the space bridge network in the Clar Macro-jungle. As the freshly-woken Fortress Maximus fell under the influence of the Dark Matrix creature and took control of the space bridge network shortly afterwards, Neutro and his team probably perished.
