Flatline (ROTF)
From MediaWiki
- Flatline is a Decepticon from the live-action film series continuity family.
A master surgeon, Flatline might be a little too eager about his work. Tasked by his commander Thundercracker with creating the next generation of Decepticon warriors, he has wasted many viable protoforms in unsuccessful experiments. He's on the verge of a breakthrough, though! Any cycle now...

IDW Transformers movie comics
Trivia
- Flatline originally was going to make his appearance in The Reign of Starscream, operating on Devastator and turning him into the first Movieverse gestalt out of the bodies of several construction bots (including some folks like Mixmaster and Huffer(!)). The idea was turned down, however.[1]
- Back when Mowry was trying to think up a Generation 1-based story to pitch, he also asked Ben Templesmith to sketch for him what a G1 version of Flatline might look like. Templesmith ended up producing a sketch based around Flatline transforming into a 1960s model Hearse.[1]
- Flatline is apparantly responsible for the limited intelligence of The Twins, having caused processor damage through his experimentations on them. Maybe that explains why they thought acting like wannabe gangsters made them look cool. Tales of the Fallen issue 6
