Servo is a <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Mini-Con" title="Mini-Con">Mini-Con</a> from the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Armada_%28franchise%29" title="Armada (franchise)">Armada</a> portion of the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Unicron_Trilogy" title="Unicron Trilogy">Unicron Trilogy</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Continuity_family" title="Continuity family">continuity family</a>.

[[Image:|right|300px|thumb|This is one damn lucky Mini-Con.]] Where his teammates are quite serious-minded, Servo is a happy-go-lucky sort. He's a bit of a doof and occasionally oblivious to what's going on around him, but his technical skills are unquestionable. His cheerful outlook keeps his teammates from ever getting too down, even if he does occasionally do some pretty stupid things.

<a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Primus" title="Primus">Primus</a> only knows what trouble he'd have gotten himself into without the supervision of his teammates <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Redline" title="Redline">Redline</a> and <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Flat-Out" title="Flat-Out">Flat-Out</a>.


<a name="Fiction"></a><h2><span class="editsection">[<a href="http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Servo&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Fiction">edit</a>]</span> <span class="mw-headline">Fiction</span></h2> <a name="Micron_Legends:_Linkage_Mini-Comics"></a><h3><span class="editsection">[<a href="http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Servo&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Micron Legends: Linkage Mini-Comics">edit</a>]</span> <span class="mw-headline">Micron Legends: Linkage Mini-Comics</span></h3> Servo and his teammates escaped from the crashing <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Exodus" title="Exodus">Exodus</a> in an escape pod that landed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Washington. They lay dormant for centuries until the Mini-Cons were reactivated due to the actions of <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Rad_White" title="Rad White">Rad White</a> and <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Carlos_Lopez" title="Carlos Lopez">Carlos Lopez</a>. Upon reactivation, the trio crawled onto the shore and took new alternate forms suited to the environment. They were suddenly pursued by a pair of <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Fixer_Bug" title="Fixer Bug">Fixer Bugs</a> and escaped into a parking garage. Servo used his scanning ability to prepare a car for conversion into a Turbo Cannon, which was used to destroy their pursuers. However, the car's owner, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Stella_Holley" title="Stella Holley">Stella Holley</a>, saw all this. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Linkage_Part_1" title="Linkage Part 1">Linkage Part 1</a></span> The trio formed a mental link with Stella and explained their plight to her, and she agreed to help them. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Linkage_Part_2" title="Linkage Part 2">Linkage Part 2</a></span>

The Super Stunt Team, Stella, and the newly-awakened <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Rollbar_%28Armada%29" title="Rollbar (Armada)">Rollbar</a> ventured to the Deccan Plateau in India, having discovered the presence of a newly-landed shuttle from <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cybertron_%28planet%29" title="Cybertron (planet)">Cybertron</a>, hoping that it was an Autobot who would allow them to use the shuttle, or at least some of its technology, for their plans of refuge. However, they were attacked by the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Speed_Chaser_Mini-Con_Team" title="Speed Chaser Mini-Con Team">Speed Chaser Mini-Con Team</a> <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Linkage_Part_3" title="Linkage Part 3">Linkage Part 3</a></span> and Servo was hit by <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Tailslide" title="Tailslide">Tailslide</a>'s <a href="http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Transfixation&action=edit" class="new" title="Transfixation">transfixation</a> beam, locking him in vehicle mode, upended to boot. Stella managed to keep the Fixer Bugs away from Servo for a time, but it was the arrival of the Autobot <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Scavenger_%28Armada%29" title="Scavenger (Armada)">Scavenger</a> that truly saved them all. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Linkage_Part_4" title="Linkage Part 4">Linkage Part 4</a></span>

After acquiring the shuttle, Servo was out scouting through Seattle when he met <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Falcia" title="Falcia">Falcia</a>, and brought her back to their base. He helped Flat-Out kinda-sorta explain her "relationship" with Redline to Stella. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Linkage_Part_5" title="Linkage Part 5">Linkage Part 5</a></span> Shortly afterward, he helped set up the machinery used to retrieve <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Twirl" title="Twirl">Twirl</a>'s soul from the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Linkage_%28dimension%29" title="Linkage (dimension)">Linkage</a> after her <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Mini-Con_storage_panel" title="Mini-Con storage panel">Mini-Con storage panel</a> was damaged in a battle with the Speed Chaser team. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Linkage_Part_7" title="Linkage Part 7">Linkage Part 7</a></span>

Servo, Falcia and Twirl then met with <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/High_Wire_%28Armada%29" title="High Wire (Armada)">High Wire</a> and Rollbar outside the Autobots' base at <a href="http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Mount_Astrogate&action=edit" class="new" title="Mount Astrogate">Mount Astrogate</a>, discussing both teams' plans for the immediate future. Servo told the two of Redline's plans to find the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Master_Key" title="Master Key">Master Key</a> and unlock their peoples' true potential, plus free them from their bonds to their creator <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Unicron" title="Unicron">Unicron</a>. He also found himself between Falcia and Twirl when the former got miffed over a "family" remark made by the latter. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Linkage_Part_8" title="Linkage Part 8">Linkage Part 8</a></span>

The Super Stunt and <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Sonic_Assault_Team" class="mw-redirect" title="Sonic Assault Team">Sonic Assault Teams</a> then set up the equipment to unlock the Master Key, granting Redline and <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Combusta" title="Combusta">Combusta</a> incredible power, but before the others could unlock their potential, the group was attacked by <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ravenus" title="Ravenus">Ravenus</a>, the Speed chaser Team's last-ditch weapon. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Linkage_Part_9" title="Linkage Part 9">Linkage Part 9</a></span> The monster's enhanced abilities attacked the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Servility_program" title="Servility program">servility program</a> ingrained in the Mini-Cons; Servo and Twirl, unable to resist, leapt to the beast and <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Powerlinx" title="Powerlinx">Powerlinxed</a> with him, giving the monster (and the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Doomstone" title="Doomstone">Doomstone</a> he carried within him) the access needed to destroy the Linkage and erase the Mini-Cons' individual minds and free will. Flat-Out and Falcia resisted enough to Powerlinx with Stella's car, turning it into a fighting mech and dislodging Servo. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Linkage_Part_10" title="Linkage Part 10">Linkage Part 10</a></span> Freed and upgraded, Servo helped put out the call to all Mini-Cons via the Linkage <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Linkage_Part_11" title="Linkage Part 11">Linkage Part 11</a></span>, which ultimately resulted in Twirl's rescue, the capture and reformatting of Ravenus, and the sealing of the Doomstone. With their task on Earth complete and the threat of Unicron looming over their homeworld of <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cybertron_%28planet%29" title="Cybertron (planet)">Cybertron</a>, Servo and the others said their goodbyes to Stella, promising to meet again someday. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Linkage_Part_12" title="Linkage Part 12">Linkage Part 12</a></span>

Servo joined his teammates in fighting against Unicron's forces while the bulk of the Mini-Cons formed the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Unicron_of_Light" title="Unicron of Light">Unicron of Light</a> to battle their creator directly. The Super Stunt Team rushed in to face the Speed Chaser Team for one final battle...

...a year later, a group of Mini-Cons led by the Super Stunt and Sonic Assult Teams had begun construction of a city of their own on Earth, and were waiting to reunite with their human friend. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Linkage_Part_13" title="Linkage Part 13">Linkage Part 13</a></span>

  • Super Stunt Mini-Con Team (DVD release, 2003)
Servo is a <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Redeco" title="Redeco">redeco</a> of the Armada <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Street_Speed_Mini-Con_Team" title="Street Speed Mini-Con Team">Street Speed Mini-Con Team</a> member <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Spiral" title="Spiral">Spiral</a>,

transforming into a Mercedes C-class luxury car. It was only available with its teammates Flat-Out and Redline with the first volume of the Micron Legend DVD series in Japan, the only volume to contain more than a single Mini-Con.

The same mold is used by Armada <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Skid-Z_%28Armada%29" title="Skid-Z (Armada)">Skid-Z</a>, while a <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Retool" title="Retool">retooled</a> version of the mold is used by <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cybertron_%28toyline%29" title="Cybertron (toyline)">Galaxy Force</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Jack_%28Cybertron%29" title="Jack (Cybertron)">Jack</a>. The mold was slated to be released as <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Clocker_%28Energon%29" title="Clocker (Energon)">Clocker</a> in <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Energon_%28franchise%29" title="Energon (franchise)">Energon</a>, but was ultimately canceled.

  • Servo's coloration was going to be applied to the unreleased Energon Mini-Con <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Override_%28Energon%29" title="Override (Energon)">Override</a>. That whole team was a "one-off" of the Super Stunt Team, shuffling the colors from each member onto different molds.
