Isaac Sumdac (Animated)

Isaac Sumdac is a human from the Transformers Animated continuity family.

For building so much, he has very tiny arms.

What Henry Ford and Bill Gates were to the 20th century, Isaac Sumdac is to the 21st. He plays a vital role in the automaton industry of near-future Detroit. The founder of Sumdac Systems, he is also the adoptive father of Sari. He probably won't be winning any parenting awards soon, considering he leaves the raising of Sari to robots, seemingly neglects her for days while he works in his lab, and lets her stay overnight with a group of giant alien robots at an undisclosed location.

With his fame, wealth, and expertise, he will probably be of no interest whatsoever to the Decepticons. Certainly his friend, the giant talking head in his lab, would let him know if that wasn't true!

He seems to think big, psychotic, robot dinosaurs would be a good thing to have around. Some would agree.

I should be more careful when reverse-engineering alien technology.Isaac Sumdac, "Blast from the Past"

Voice actor: Tom Kenny (English)

As a youth, Sumdac found Megatron's head after it crashed on Earth and reverse-engineered it. It is from this that he gained all of the technology he used to build his robots. He is (understandably) terrified that the Autobots, not to mention the world at large, might find out what launched his robotics empire. Transform and Roll Out!

He was shocked to find Megatron still functioned. He confirmed that the robot was indeed an old friend of the Autobots, but bore no grudge. Megatron even suggested the Autobots would be more forgiving of Isaac dissecting him if the scientist gave him a new body before revealing the truth. As a sign of good faith, Megatron helped Sumdac rebuild his robot dinosaurs. Unfortunately, a glitch made them rampage twice, and Isaac felt annoyed at the bad job he'd done. However, Megatron took the blame upon himself and was ashamed that he'd built weapons into the dinosaurs out of his desire to have a body again. Sumdac sympathized with his friend, promising not to tell the Autobots and to restore him one day. Blast from the Past

Trivia

• It is probably no coincidence that 'Sumdac' is 'Cadmus' spelled backwards. His first name is likely a reference to Isaac Asimov, of I, Robot (the book, not the movie) fame.

• It looks like he is using Megatron's hand as a chair... Man's got stones.
