Stasis field generator

Stasis field generators are technology from the Transformers Animated continuity family.

Stasis field generators are tall, white cylinders with a control panel on the top. They generate a pyramid-shaped energy field that sends any mechanical organisms caught inside into stasis lock. They're easily mistaken for Ivcan music pods, at least by Bulkhead.

Lockdown possessed a stasis field generator which he kept in the hold of his ship. When a small group of Autobots broke in while the ship was sitting on the bottom of Lake Erie, one of them happened to mistake it for a music box and activated it, stunning all three. Lockdown was greatly amused as he moved in on the two small humans whom the Autobots had brought with them. Web of Deception
