Purple generic drone

The purple generic drones are.... purple generic drones, from the live-action film series continuity family.

Can they pull off the Punch of Kill Everything?

The purple generic drones are part of the Fallen's regrouped army, able to transform into jets. While they may just be drones, they've got some intelligence. Enough intelligence to be worth Starscream giving a motivational speech to!

Man, intelligence sucks.

Fiction

Titan Magazines

Massing on Cybertron, the drones carried out a series of training manoeuvres with each other and massive missile batteries while waiting for their orders. Eventually, Starscream gave them a speech claiming that soon... they'll join the battle in earnest! New empire, Solar harvester, blah blah blah...

...you know, this is rather creepy out of context...

One of the drones then spotted Skids and Mudflap spying on the speech (I guess it got bored and started looking at other things). The drone hordes were ordered to eliminate these witnesses, but other than getting one shot on Mudflap they pretty much failed to do anything except be blown up. Training Day

Trivia

• Simon Furman confirmed them to just be generic drones. [1]

• The drones' robot modes seem to resemble Animated's Lugnut a lot, don't they?
