Spike Witwicky, his mind temporarily in the shell of the jury-rigged Autobot X, watched a movie via a television signal routed through Teletraan I. The movie featured the mad Dr. Frankenstein trying to create life from dead tissue in defiance of the sage advice from his lab assistant, whom he clearly held in contempt. Upon the creature's animation and subsequent fit of rage, Frankenstein's assistant indicated to the doctor that his own earlier warnings had been appropriate and the results of the experiment were unsatisfactory. Autobot Spike
Notes
- This character is based on the hunchbacked lab assistant played by Dwight Frye in the 1931 version of Frankenstein, whose name was Fritz. Later versions of the same character archetype would be popularly named "Igor". In fact, we'd be willing to lay odds that the only reason he wasn't called Igor in the script to "Autobot Spike" is because Don Glut is pretty dang savvy about this sort of thing, having written a huge number of novels and non-fiction books about Frankenstein.
- Dark of the Moon would go on to feature a malformed Decepticon named Igor.
