Fiction

Dark of the Moon film

Garagebot was one of the many Decepticons stationed on the Moon who traveled to Earth through Sentinel Prime's space bridge to Washington, D.C.. Not long afterwards he scanned a garbage truck and went on his merry way. Dark of the Moon

Age of Extinction film

Five years after the Battle of Chicago, Garagebot was not listed as "deceased" by the CIA taskforce, Cemetery Wind. Age of Extinction

Notes

• Before assuming the form of a garbage truck, Garagebot resembled Long Haul, stripped of all identifiable vehicle parts.
• Despite a prominent scanning scene and the presence of an identical truck at the site of Sam and Starscream's battle, Garagebot never appears again after the Washington D.C. attack.
• Garagebot's name was unknown until the film's prop auction in 2019, where he was listed on a playing card that Attinger uses. Yes, whoever made the prop card from Age of Extinction almost certainly meant "Garbagebot", but that's not what got written.
• Because the prop card reuses Long Haul's earth mode model, it is possible that the Long Haul-type Decepticon that seen in the final battle of Dark of the Moon is Garagebot. However, Garagebot's card does not have any red markings, indicating that the dead Long Haul lookalike is unrelated to Garagebot.
