FFoD3 The U-Haul Robot was an Ancient Autobot on Cybertron more than 10 million years ago, prior to the rebellion against the Quintessons.
The U-Haul Robot participated in gladiatorial games for the Quintessons' amusement. He was defeated by the "Powerful Robot", who attacked their Quintesson masters rather than destroy U-Haul Robot whent he match was over. Powerful Robot was instead destroyed himself.
The U-Haul Robot was strangely absent during A3's rebellion which drove the Quintessons off of Cybertron.
The U-Haul Robot rose to prominence as the Autobot-Decepticon conflict escalated. When the Autobots invented the art of Transformation, he was among the first to become a 'transformer.' The U-Haul Robot became matrix-bearer (and presumably Autobot Leader) during the period of Autobot ascendancy that followed.
The U-Haul Robot was killed when attempting to atop the Constructicons from completing work on Megatron after the Decepticons acquired the secrets to Transformation. He passed the matrix to Alpha Trion, who would later give it to Optimus Prime.
In the years 2006, the U-Haul Robot served as a guide to Rodimus Prime as he journeyed back into the Matrix.
