DNAVI (BW)

DNAVI is a Predacon computer AI from the Beast Wars Neo portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

"I'm making a note here; 'Huge Success'."

DNAVI, the self appointed Predacon princess, is arrogant, sassy, and generally frustrating-- there’s just no two ways about it. She always talks down to her teammates, hassling them over their losses and acting like, if she was in their shoes, she’d be performing leagues better. The issue with this conceited artificial intelligence is that she’s absolutely necessary to keeping the Predacon operation running. Without her, the Dinosaur couldn’t run, Angolmois couldn’t be found, and Magmatron and his troops wouldn’t be able to be teleported away from danger. So although she’s certainly a thorn in everyone’s side, she has an equally powerful bite to back up her immense bark.

She has a modicum of respect for Magmatron, who unleashes his wrath upon her if she disobeys his command, but she still isn’t afraid to make jabs about his losses to the Maximals on occasion. She also obeys Guiledart, who she has an affinity for. Besides that, the other Predacons have it pretty rough. Poor Sling especially is the brunt of DNAVI’s malicious pranks, with the artificial intelligence taking glee in leaving him on alien planets, only teleporting him once he bends to her will.

When the Predacons called for teleportation off Gaia, DNAVI attempted to leave Sling behind "accidentally", beaming him up only when he raised a fuss. She then saw to the dressing-down of Magmatron's troops, castigating their failure to capture even a single Maximal. Big Convoy, Move Out

When Magmatron requested the transportation of the Predacons off of the planet of Godbless, DNAVI obliged, but once more "forgot" Sling, until he complained loudly enough to bother her. Chase the Mysterious Capsule

After Saberback and Sling noticed the icy planet Solid melting around them, they demanded that DNAVI take them back to their ship. She agreed, but only on the basis that the pair called her "Anastasia". Sling was furious, exclaiming that she had never been called by that name before, but Saberback forced him, and the two were teleported. Burning Heart Below Freezing

When the Predacons spotted the planet Maderan, DNAVI was able to tell them that there was an Angolmois capsule on the planet, but not the exact coordinates of it, due to heavy cloud cover. Later on, when Magmatron requested they all be teleported off planet due to the arrival of Big Convoy, DNAVI criticized him on his over-confidence during their mission, but transported them regardless.
