- The Exponential Generator is a piece of technology in the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Exponential Generator was a device created by the human scientist Doctor Arkeville in his secret laboratory on Earth. Its precise specifications are unknown, but it had an almost unlimited power output; some speculate that it had the ability to destroy the entire universe.<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-0" title="">[1]</a></sup>
Fiction
Generation 1 cartoon
Starscream learned from Doctor Arkeville of the generator in his secret laboratory. Locating the device, Starscream wired the generator to build up to an overload which would have destroyed the entire planet Earth. Megatron discovered the generator and attempted to use it as a source of power not realizing of the overload. Optimus Prime made Megatron aware of this and the two launched the weapon into space where it exploded, incidentally knocking Starscream back towards Earth after attempting to escape - tough luck. Countdown to Extinction
Binaltech
When Swindle stole Autobot Binaltech bodies for himself and Dead End, the two were banned from the human electro-cell recharging centers and had to rely on unstable Exponential Generator technology.
