| The name or term "Chop Shop" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Chop Shop (disambiguation). |
- Chop Shop is a Decepticon from Cyberworld.
A chittering, skittering scavenger, Chop Shop aimlessly wanders the biomes of the Cyberworld in a single- and simple-minded search for whatever energon he can get his mandibles on. Seemingly uninterested in the Autobot/Decepticon conflict, he'll happily follow whoever seems the most likely to lead him to his next meal, whether they want him to or not... and they usually don't. He's kinda creepy.
This fixation on fuel does tend to leave him incredibly vulnerable to the Cyberworld's many, many traps and hazards as he thoughtlessly wanders into game zones. But he must be part robo-roach, because for all the abuse he takes, he just keeps going, a bug that is genuinely hard to squash.

- Voice actor: James Alexander (English), Douglas Guedes (Brazilian Portuguese)
Chop Shop stumbled into a face-off between Megatron and a group of Autobots while seeking energon in the jungle biome. After momentarily noticing the crowd, he quickly ignored them and wandered off... right into an opening game zone, leaving the others to follow.
Megatron reluctantly recruited Chop Shop onto his team, as it was a three-versus-three race to the top of a series of floating platforms. Despite being hit by various traps, Chop Shop still made it to the top alongside his teammate Mirage, netting him the energon he craved once Megatron joined them and won the game. With the game over, Chop Shop wandered off alongside his apparent new boss. What Goes Up
Toys
Cyberworld
- Chop Shop (Armored Cyber Changer, 2025)
- Environment: Desert
- Accessories: Pincer gearbox weapon, pincer blades, mandibles
- Released in the second wave of Cyberworld Armored Cyber Changers, Chop Shop transforms from 4-inch tall robot mode to a stag beetle in 4 steps, with his whole torso compressing in one motion as his chest is flipped up, drawing in his arms and shifting the backpack down to meet his calves. The figure comes with a gear driven hammer-like weapon with flip out grabby pincers and a blade in its center. The contraption can also be held as a gun, though Chop Shop can't hold it like one in robot mode since the insect legs on the toy's arms get in the way.
- Like other Cyber Changers, the toy has limited articulation, with ball-jointed shoulders, hips, and hinged knees. He has three 5 mm ports on his back and one on each arm; no 3 mm stand port though! The beast mode mandibles, as well as the pincers of the weapon, are all removable and attach via 5 mm posts. The stock photo at right shows the bug legs on his shins pointing down, but they can be positioned pointing upwards for a slightly more pleasing look.
Notes
- Chop Shop's overall robot mode design is based on Beast Wars Insecticon while his color scheme draws from Energon Insecticon and the toys of the Prime Insecticons. Guess they wanted a name more marketable than "Insecticon" this time!
