Fiction
Cartoon continuity
- Voice actor: Frank Welker (US), Yoku Shioya (Japan)
Teletraan II played back the battle between Metroplex and Trypticon several times over for Grimlock's amusement. When a request was made of Teletraan II to show the moment when Metroplex finished Trypticon "forever," the computer informed the Autobots that such was impossible, as that had never happened. Thus did the Autobots learn that Trypticon had not actually been destroyed, as they had previously believed to be the case. Thanks for waiting to tell them that after Trypticon had left.

Notes
- Teletraan II was largely devised to cover the departure of Casey Kasem from the show.
- The computer also helpfully informed viewers of many facts about characters and concepts in the series at the end of several episodes.
- As with Teletraan I, the proper spelling of "Teletraan II" is somewhat unclear. Because the medium in which it was presented is not a written one, fans have long spelled it with an intuitive single "a". This happens to be supported by Teletraan II's model sheet, but episode scripts spell it with two "a"s.<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-0" title="">[1]</a></sup> This wiki resolves the question by maintaining consistency with "Teletraan I"; for more information on that, see Teletraan I (G1)#Spelling and pronunciation.
