I’m a Dillo.

Dillo is a reformatted ancient task drone who was found by Nightscream. As one of the Deployers, he is capable of quick transformation abilities. He was taught by an ancient Autobot tracker in the ways of the mace bollo. Unfortunately he only uses it while retreating. He is a bit of a coward, but attempts to maintain a tough outer demeanor.

[edit]

Having recently been discovered by Nightscream, Dillo and his fellow Deployers Mol and Rav were escorting the young Maximal and Optimus Primal back to their hidden base when they were stopped cold by a squad of Vehicon Tank Drones. Things looked grim for the group until Ramulus, Primal Prime and Apelinq arrived and were all super-awesome and unstoppable. The whole group then journeyed underground, where the Oracle gave the gathered Cybertronians their tasks. The shifty Maximal Packrat convinced the Deployers to join up with the Wreckers crew.

The Deployers took part in the later battle for the Autobot shuttle that would take the Wreckers off-planet, fighting through hundreds of Vehicon drones. However, once they were on board and off-planet, the Deployers, Spittor, and Sonar were battered insensible by a stowaway, the bounty hunter Devcon. Departure

Things didn't get much better for Dillo and crew, as an act of sabotage by Cyclonus sent explosions rocking through the ship. The section the Deployers, Spittor and Sonar were in was jettisoned by Packrat, leaving the five to die a fiery death in deep space. Betrayal
