Meltdown (Animated)
- Prometheus Black is a human character from the Transformers Animated continuity family.
"Prometheus!"
Prometheus Black is an entrepreneur and business rival of Isaac Sumdac. Where as Sumdac focuses on robotics, Black's expertise is in the area of bio-technology. However, his constant loss of business to Sumdac Systems has left Black bitter toward machines, including the sentient kind. An accident in testing a new corrosive designed to melt Autobot armor left him with the ability to melt anything he touches...and left a few screws loose, as he became the supervillain Meltdown.
Prometheus Black looks good in a pimp suit, which is the best superpower ever.
He also employs shrimp, giant, and altogether biochemical freak Colossus Rhodes.

Prometheus Black's biotechnology business is highly successful because it plays off of the citizens of Detroit's fear of illegal immigrants robots stealing their jobs. Much of his money is made on makeovers of some of the city's less physically gifted individuals, but he finally stages a promotion aimed at getting himself a contract with the city's police force. Pitting the seemingly frail old man Colossus Rhodes against Bumblebee, he hopes to win the support of Captain Fanzone.
