Tote
- Tote is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Tote is a master of in-mission improvisation. He's extremely skilled in adapting to changing situations, and coming up with clever methods of getting out of unexpected scrapes. He's most often paired with Mudslinger, as his teammate's penchant for getting into trouble often requires Tote's quick thinking to turn a bad situation around. Highjump takes issue with this, believing that Tote's friendly help is encouraging Mudslinger's aggressive and dangerous behavior. Team leader Powertrain is also a bit concerned that Tote improvises too much, making it difficult for him to stick to their carefully-laid-out plans.[1]
