Purple generic drone

- The purple generic drones are.... purple generic drones, from the movie continuity family.
The purple generic drones are part of The Fallen's regrouped army, able to transform into jets. Another group of them are Constructicon drones, turning into multiple construction vehicles. While they may just be drones, they've got some intelligence. Enough intelligence to be worth Starscream giving a motivational speech to!
Man, intelligence sucks.
Fiction

Massing on Cybertron, the drones carried out a series of training manoeuvres with each other and massive missile batteries while waiting for their orders. Eventually, Starscream gave them a speech claiming that soon... they'll join the battle in earnest! New empire, Star Harvester, blah blah blah...
One of the drones then spotted Skids and Mudflap spying on the speech (it probably got bored and started looking at other things). The drone hordes were ordered to eliminate these witnesses, but other than getting one shot on Mudflap they pretty much failed to do anything except be blown up. Training Day
A while later, in protoform form and a shiny grey, the no-longer-purple generic drones arrived at the Decepticon's base on Phobos, a staging area for an Earth attack. Finding the twins there, they prepared to kill the Autobots but were undone when Optimus Prime arrived with even more Autobots. After a brief but violent battle, the surviving drones surrendered en masse.
Quite disturbingly, their groins glowed. Back-to-Back
A second group of these drones, also not purple, worked as Constructicons for Skywarp months later, working on rebuilding Devastator. They got destroyed in a sneak attack. Head in the Clouds
Notes
[edit]- Simon Furman confirmed them to just be generic drones.[1]
- The drones' robot modes seem to resemble Animated's Lugnut a lot, don't they?
