Internuncio
|
This article is about a character or concept which lacks any official name or designation. |
- "Internuncios" are Transformers from the Generation 1 continuity family.
"Internuncios" are one of the oldest of Transformer body-types, predating the art of Transformation, yet Transformers of this venerable model are still in service today.
They seem especially suited to communications support roles and are frequently seen working as couriers, switchboard operators, intelligence officers and Matrix bearers.
