Sure hope nobody stabs me in my face.

The Security Officers (aka Red Cogs) are Autobot security officers. It's their job to check to see if that scary noise in the darkened hallway behind everybody is, in fact, a rumble from a giant monster thing. It's their job to check that darkened hallway alone. Should've read that job description better, Security Officer! Sorry about your torso.

Fiction

War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon

Voice actor: Rafael Goldstein (English)

He's got legs, and he knows how to use 'em!

Security Officer was part of Elita One's "cavalry" that arrived to assist Optimus Prime once he'd discovered he and his Autobots had fallen into a trap set by Impactor. Security Officer leapt into the air and transformed into shoulder-mounted cannons for Sideswipe to use to clear Optimus of Decepticons. Siege episode 2

Images that precede unfortunate events.

Later, once the Autobots had fled Cybertron, Security Officer accompanied Wheeljack and Arcee to the heart of a space station that was parked halfway through a space bridge portal. Security Officer wondered aloud why someone would put a space station there, shortly before the three Autobots wondered about some sounds heard through a darkened passageway. He went to investigate alone and quickly found himself facing Scorponok, who impaled Security Officer on his stinger, slammed Security Officer into a wall, and then flung Security Officer across the chamber.

Announced by the official Transformers Instagram as a Target exclusive part of Legacy Deluxe Class figures, Red Cog is a redeco of Siege Cog, and transforms from a robot into a red armored vehicle and back. Red Cog also has the ability to split into (presumably) Red Gasket and Red Grommet. His official red alternate mode is a red combined half-track vehicle consisting of the two red individual vehicles plugged together. Presumably, Red Cog still has the design flaw of his the flat rectangular tab that holds the two red alt mode halves together not having a particularly tight fit, leading to the red alt mode typically coming apart easily.

Notes

One of us, one of us

• The Security Officers are redecoes of War for Cybertron: Siege Cog. In addition to their red coloration, the Security Officer's voice actor is different to set them apart from Cog. However, he is credited simply as "Security Officer".
• The Security Officers' deco may or may not homage an elder red Cog.
