Flashdrive

This article is about the Mini-Con. For the technology concept, see Processor.

Flashdrive is a Mini-Con from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

"You killed the Hubble!"

Flashdrive is one of many power-enhancing Mini-Cons who help the Autobots search the galaxy for pure Energon ore. Accidentally assigned to Barnstorm's Elite Flying Corps, this jumpy young 'bot is way out of his league, and will probably end up dead before too long.

Cheery, no? Well, Unicron did turn him into the evil Processor (プロセッサ Purosessa).

Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

Vector Prime explained that iterations of the Elite Flying Corps often had the misfortune to encounter Unicron while scouting for energon ore. The Chaos-Bringer reformatted them into the evil Apocalypse Brigade Mini-Con Team, and thus Flashdrive became Processor, the team's amoral scientist. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/01

• Processor (Micron Booster, 2004)
  • Booster ID number: 2

Processor is a red redeco of the Mini-Con Thunderclash, transforming into a Cybertronic gunship. He was sold as part of the third Micron Booster assortment in Japan, in individual, blind-packed boxes so you did not know which Mini-Con you got until you opened the box and opaque black plastic bag inside.

This same mold is also used by Barnstorm/Saber and Bingo/Triac.

Notes

• As "Processor", he was originally released in Japan with no bio info whatsoever. The American name "Flashdrive", and his bio, were created by the Transformers Collectors' Club. Despite the different names, they are the same character.
