Gimlet

Gimlet is a Maximal and Predacon Jointron from the Beast Wars II portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

I'll have a me, on the rocks.

Gimlet (ギムレット Gimretto) is the youngest of the Jointron brothers and the dancing fool of the group. He loves to jump and party-about to the music of his older brother, DJ. Gimlet is a Maximal who never gets down even in the worst situation. Instead he just likes to party and have a good time and see what happens next. During peacetime he dedicates himself to competitive sports, and during wartime treats that like a sport and keeps score of the Preds he's downed. Just like his other brothers, he mixes bad Spanish in with his sentences, often-times making it hard to tell what he’s getting at. Instead, he lets his rhythm speak for him.

Gimlet can join with his fellow Jointrons to form Tripledacus.

Beast Wars Diorama Story

A falling-out led Gimlet to join the Predacons.

At some point, Gimlet was transported back in time to the planet Energoa, during the original Beast Wars between the Maximals and the Predacons. There, he met up with several Autobots and Decepticons from another dimension. A battle broke out between the Maximals, Predacons, Autobots and Decepticons. The other-dimensional Transformers eventually returned to their place of origin and the Beast Wars continued as they were. Beast Wars Diorama Story
