Fiction
Cartoon continuity
- Voice actor: Buster Jones (English), ? (Japanese)
In 2006, members of Victor Drath's criminal syndicate staged explosions across New York City in an attempt to cover their theft of some Newtronium. After Rodimus Prime and Ultra Magnus foiled their heist, Chief Turan was interviewed about the bombings, and refused to comment on the relationship of the activities because the police had only just begun their investigation. He did, however, thank the Autobots for their assistance in preventing casualties.
Some weeks later, the police received an anonymous tip regarding the case. Chief Turan was skeptical about it, but brought it up during a video conference with the Autobots, who decided to follow it up. Even if it was a trap, like Turan felt it was, Victor Drath was, after all, only human. What could he possibly do to Transformers?
What indeed. Only Human
Turan apparently felt that Victor Drath was involved with the bombings and attempted robbery, as Springer mentioned Drath's name with some unfamiliarity during the video conference, suggesting Turan had previously mentioned it to the Autobots off-screen.
