Drones have often been used on Cybertron for manual labor. It was Megatron who first put drones to use in the military when he had drones upgraded and refitted for combat. The Class Beta drones are combat-ready warriors specializing in land combat.

Dreadwing has been put in charge of the drone army.


Fiction

IDW Transformers movie comics

Class Beta drones were part of the crew of Starscream's ship that pursued the All Spark and Megatron to the Eshems Nebula. They were forced to turn back for repairs when the ship was damaged by an Autobot concussion chain. The Reign of Starscream #1

After Megatron was killed and the All Spark destroyed during the battle of Mission City on Earth, Starscream returned to Mars. While he was recuperating, a team of Autobots attacked, and drones, including Class Betas, were activated to defend the ship. The Reign of Starscream #3

Class Beta drones were among those assigned to guard the Autobot slaves who were being forced to build the new Cube. They brutally punished Warpath when he saw to the exhausted Grindcore. Later, after the new All Spark was completed, Payload arrived leading a team of drones carrying the massive generators required to drain the life force out of the Autobot prisoners and put it into the Cube.
