Servility Program
The servility program was a program inherent to all <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Mini-Con" title="Mini-Con">Mini-Cons</a> that bound them to a <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Bulk" title="Bulk">Bulk</a>, or larger transformer. When an Autobot or a Decepticon <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Powerlinx" title="Powerlinx">Powerlinked</a> with a Mini-Con, they would feel compelled to act with loyalty to that Transformer. Depending on the partner's personality, this could have been a beneficial or psychologically damaging relationship.
The first mention of the servility program was when <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Redline" title="Redline">Redline</a> explained why their friend <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Rollbar_%28Armada%29" title="Rollbar (Armada)">Rollbar</a> had abandoned them after linking with the Transformer, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Scavenger_%28Armada%29" title="Scavenger (Armada)">Scavenger</a>. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Linkage_Part_5" title="Linkage Part 5">Linkage Part 5</a></span>
Before the program was removed from all Mini-Cons as the result of Redline's actions, the servility program could be overcome through effort on the part of the Mini-Con itself. However, with the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Master_Key" title="Master Key">Master Key</a> discovered, and the Mini-Cons' full powers realized, they are no longer bound by this limitation and can exist fully as their own beings. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Linkage_Part_10" title="Linkage Part 10">Linkage Part 10</a></span>
It is unknown why the servility program existed; either it was programmed into them by other Transformers, or it was inherent to the Mini-Cons and part of Unicron's plan to use them to subjugate the Transformer race.
