BUNT!

Some Autobot starships are equipped with auto-combatants to help the Autobots keep in practice while on long voyages.

Fiction

[edit]

The Transformers cartoon

[edit]
Voice actor: Frank Welker (English), Masashi Ebara (Japanese){{#if: László Ujréti (Hungarian, first dub), Attila Bartucz (Hungarian, second dub)|, László Ujréti (Hungarian, first dub), Attila Bartucz (Hungarian, second dub)}}

The Autobots had to flee Autobot City on Earth after an attack by Galvatron's forces. During the voyage, Hot Rod activated the ship's auto-combatant for a little practice melee combat. Hot Rod used an Energon sword and a shield while the auto-combatant went weaponless. The auto-combatant paused for a moment to allow Hot Rod to speak with the rest of the crew, but then sucker-punched him in the back when he figured the conversation was ended. The shuttle then came under attack and Hot Rod ended his training session. The Transformers: The Movie

The Auto-Combatant’s involvement in these events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the storybook Transformers the Movie.


Dreamwave Generation One continuity

[edit]
Ooh, shiny! *gets punched in the stomach* Oof, metal.

As training, Hubcap, Swerve, Red Alert, Tailgate, and Pipes were pitted against some auto-combatants. They got their afts handed to them. Black Sunshine


Shattered Glass

[edit]

The auto-combatants were solid holograms that could be generated by a computer in specifically designed rooms. Optimus Prime sometimes sparred with them while listening to reports from his inferiors. Shattered Glass


2005 IDW continuity

[edit]

Energon Universe

[edit]

As Hot Rod tracked down the Sacred Ring, he spared with an auto-combatant to pass the time but was taken aback by its unusual aggression and ignoring his pause command. Void Rivals #11

Notes

[edit]
  • Unnamed in the finished film, this droid's name comes from the movie's original script, and was used in the Ladybird adaptation of the movie.
  • The original film storyboards (and thus the auto-combatant's portrayal in the Marvel Comics adaption of the film) depicted its lower body as being attached to a pedestal. It is not actually possible to tell what the lower half of the auto-combatant looks like in the film itself, leading to later portrayals erroneously giving it a pair of legs.

Foreign names

[edit]
  • Japanese: Combat robo (コンバット・ロボ konbatto robo)
