"What's in YOUR wallet?"

In the early days of the war, the Decepticon "warriors" would disguise themselves as simple cargo cubes awaiting the command from their leader to attack. Unlike the accompanying transport trucks, these warriors don't appear to be drones. One speaks intelligently and gives orders to the others.

The Transformers cartoon

Voice actor: Keiichi Nanba (Japanese), Chikao Shiroyama (Japanese)

Nine million years ago Megatron approached a dockside warehouse, workplace of a young Autobot named Orion Pax, along with a fleet of his transport trucks carrying a payload of cubical containers. After initially claiming he was simply looking for a place to "store his wares", once told that the site only stored energy, Megatron dropped this pretense, and at his signal both transport drones and warriors transformed. After personally blasting both Orion and his girlfriend Ariel, Megatron ordered the warriors to terminate the warehouse's other workers.

Sometime later, the warriors engaged a group of Guardian robots in battle, and managed to take one down with a blast to the face. Megatron's forces might have won the day, were it not for the sudden arrival of a mysterious stranger, whose laser rifle mowed down multiple warriors with ease.

Meanwhile, the transport drones prepared to remove the stored energy from the warehouse. What they didn't count on, however, was the presence of some time travelers determined to stop them at any cost. Their exit blocked by some of the warriors, these five heroes nonetheless risked their own lives and detonated the stockpiles, thereby destroying the warehouse. War Dawn

Wings Universe

Wings Universe is based on the Generation 1 cartoon, but deviates from it in cosmetic ways and continuity points.

A group of Elite Guardsmen were searching for Shadowcaster's base when Onslaught spotted a suspicious truck carrying large crates. One of the crates was knocked off as the truck rounded a corner, and the crate transformed into a warrior. The Combaticons took the warrior into a nearby building where Brawl interrogated him. After obtaining the coordinates of Shadowcaster's base, Brawl terminated the Decepticon, though Onslaught later claimed to Metalhawk that the warrior had self-destructed. The Coming Storm: Part 3
