Tobias Muldoon

Tobias Muldoon is a human from the Hearts of Steel portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

You're forgetting, Lindsay, that as a psychiatrist, I was a professional twice over—an analyst and a therapist. The world's first "analrapist".

Tobias Muldoon is an inventor in the latter part of the 19th Century. He is alternately a Decepticon patsy and a (slightly hapless) action hero.

Fiction

Hearts of Steel

Muldoon invented a "sub-marine", the S.S. Vicuna, and attempted to demonstrate it for Mark Twain and Jules Verne in San Francisco Bay. It sank. His primary investor, Stanford Merriweather, was not amused, and Muldoon's financial prospects (not to mention his chances of marrying Merriweather's daughter, Kitty) looked bleak. He was then confronted by Shockwave, who offered to assist him in transforming the Earth. Hearts of Steel #1

Muldoon readily agreed to work with the Decepticons, providing them with plans for 19th-century bodies and information on human society. When he realized they were evil, however, he fled and went to Merriweather's house looking for help. Hearts of Steel #2

Muldoon was unsuccessful in convincing Merriweather, Kitty, or Twain (Merriweather's houseguest), until Ravage, who had been hunting Muldoon, burst in. Muldoon fended him off with a decorative sword and shield while the others escaped, and after Ravage was dispatched by Twain, Muldoon received Merriweather's full support in fighting the Decepticons. Hearts of Steel #3

Muldoon and the other protagonists pursued the Decepticons' Astrotrain, and Muldoon's heroic efforts to protect Kitty earned him Merriweather's blessing of their romance. Muldoon was trapped in a train tunnel by Decepticon explosives, but was soon freed by John Henry. Hearts of Steel #4
