Frostferatu
You are feeling sleeeepy. You vill read allll of this page... What? Not hypnotized even a little? Tch.
A "mystical cupcake vampire," Frostferatu doesn't operate like your run-of-the-mill bloodsucker; one bite from him will send the systems of any other bot into overdrive, allowing him to infuse them with a shot of magic Energon and grant his target the ultimate sugar rush.
And that's where any actual resemblance to a vampire comes to a halt. For all Frostferatu wants to be a dread creature of the night, he's lacking. Oh, he's got the spooooky accent, and the sharp fashion sense, and a fondness for grandiose titles and general melodrama, but that's about it. He can't fly, and much as he wishes he could, he can't really hypnotise anyone. Not even the dumbest of BotBots are susceptible to his gaze.

Disguised in his cupcake mode, Frosrferatu was brought by Apeface for a Christmas get together at the Autobot's house. As Apeface ran to enter, he failed to see Spots the Rock in his path, tripping him and throwing Forstferatu into the face of Hound. Later Frostferatu was put on the dinner table with the rest of disguised BotBots. The BotBots secretly caused mischief, leading to a a food fight to break out. As all the BotBots revealed themselves, Forstferatu transformed in Optimus Prime's hand, expressing how much fun he had. Everyone then posed for Clixx to take a group holiday picture, with Forstferatu sitting on Optimus' shoulder. War For Cybertron Holiday Dinner BotBots Mischief!
Lost Bots!
Frostferatu joined Dimlit's group of Lost Bots on a quest to find the true tribes they belonged to. He thought Sprinkles might be the place, until he scared the filling out of The Plop Father when he tried to bite him. Realizing he didn't fit there, he returned with the other Lost Bots to Lost and Found and realized it was right where he belonged. Lost Bots!

One of the Sugar Shocks, Frostferatu once had a run-in with Burgertron back when he was part of the Hunger Hubs. It didn't leave the burger with a high opinion of him. On the night of Ice-Cream-a-Palooza, Frostferatu wound up trapped in the fancy new vending machine, left wailing melodramatically for help. His cries were overheard by the Lost Bots, which now included Burgertron. Frostferatu tried using his "hypnotic" eyes to mesmerize the Lost Bots into freeing him, but it didn't work. Things got worse when Clogstopper informed everyone that Dave the flesh being had plans to eat a cupcake from the vending machine that night. Frostferatu watched as Burgertron and Bonz-Eye tried no less than fourteen times to smash their way into the vending machine, before suggesting they use the shiny discs the fleshlings used to operate the machine and get him out that way. This also did not work, thanks to Burgertron's impatience and bad aim. As Burgertron and Bonz-Eye scaled the inside of the machine, the flesh-being approached, only being stalled by the machine's refusal to accept his dollar. All seemed lost for Frosty, as the machine finally accepted Dave's dollar... and then he got stuck against the glass door. Dave's enraged response set off the vending machine's alarm, forcing him to trudge back to security to deactivate it, allowing Burgertron to dislodge Frostferatu. This nearly sent them plummeting to the ground, but Bonz-Eye rescued them. A jubilant Frostferatu praised his own hypnotism skills, which had clearly been the real hero of the day, but in gratitude offered up the spare invites to Ice-Cream-a-palooza he had on his person anyway. Alas, this was all for naught, as by the time all six BotBots reached it, the party was over forever. Escape from Snackatraz
When Burgertron and Kikmee sought to break-up Dimlit with his new girlfriend Jacqueline, they approached Frostferatu to use his amazing hypnotic powers to completely erase all romantic feelings from the torch's mind. Naturally, Frostferatu succeeded effortlessly, luring Dimlit into his gaze with a brilliant imitation of a helpless lost kitten, and then with his mission accomplished took off into the night. He definitely didn't fail to mesmerize Dimlit and then faceplant trying to fly away from the scene due to his inability to fly. Dimlit in Love
Along with the rest of the BotBots, Frostferatu attended the Ruckus Rally. Before the race began, he noticed the notoriously competitive Kikmee was not taking part, and inquired about this turn of events. He then watched the rest of the race in the stands. The Ruckus Rally
