One of the more notable features of the P-6 Worldsweeper symbol ships—aside from their propensity to crash—is their extensive array of accessories, which includes a number of Cybernoughts. Massive suits of powered armour, they allow smaller Cybertronians to hold their own against much larger foes and numbers.

While under attack from the Decepticon Justice Division on Clemency, Crankcase bemoaned the fact that his ragtag group of "Scavengers" were hopelessly outclassed until he discovered a cache of Cybernoughts aboard the Worldsweeper they had been sheltering in. Taking one and naming it—with his usual level of imagination—the Mighty Mega Puncher, he crushed the D.J.D. leader Tarn into the ground and blasted Tesarus and Helex. The turnaround was short-lived though, as Kaon stunned him with a burst of electricity, and the recovered Tarn was able to take out the Cybernought in tank mode. Who's Afraid of the DJD?
Notes
[edit]- The name "Cybernought" appears to be based on the word "dreadnought". In real life [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}dreadnought|{{#if:||dreadnought}}]]s were naval battleships named after the first example of their type, but mechanical battle-suits called Dreadnoughts (very similar to the Cybernought) exist in the British tabletop game [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Warhammer 40,000|{{#if:||Warhammer 40,000}}]]. James Roberts may have been thinking of these when he wrote the script. Additionally, the 1984 Lego Robot Command Center set was advertised in Europe as a "Cybernaut".
