Yellow Face

Yellow Face is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Yellow Face (イエローフェイス Ierō Feisu) likes to accuse everybody else of being a spy. We wonder why.

Fiction

Wars comics

In actuality a Decepticon mini-spy, Yellow Face passed himself off as a migrant worker who was sent from Cybertron to Earth to work on the Scramble City Project. When Hubcap caused a furor over the lesser status of his fellow crew on the freighter they were travelling on, Yellow Face feigned offense at being demeaned for being a laborer. Biting back, Yellow Face accused the Minibot of putting on a front to hide being the rumored spy informing the Decepticons about the Project.

To prevent any suspicion of himself, Yellow Face stole Blanched Soldier's energon sword and cut himself after stealing the blueprints to Scramble City. Pretending to be a victim, he allowed Arcee to recognize his injury as being from an energon sword before accusing Blanched Soldier of being the spy and demanding her be destroyed.

When the ship arrived at Earth, Yellow Face took off to turn over the blueprints to Galvatron II, but was berated for not realizing the files were protected by a passkey and sent to retrieve it from Teletraan I. Sneaking past Cliffjumper and Huffer, his cover was blown when Deerstalker, having figured out the spy's identity, arrived to finger him. Yellow Face attempted to make a run for it, but was stopped by Arcee. Captured and forced to listen to how Deerstalker figured out his scheme, Yellow Face then mocked his captors by explaining he already turned over the blueprints to a new Decepticon staff officer and pointing out he wasn't the only spy trying to get the passkey. Galvatron II, seeing what a blabbermouth he was becoming, shot and killed the mini-spy from a distance. Metrowars: Spy

Notes

• Following Deerstalker's Sherlock Holmes theming, Yellow Face is named after the story "The Adventure of the Yellow Face". Yes, we know.
