Padlock (Energon)

Padlock is an Autobot from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

Such an awesome name, for such a useless character.

Padlock is probably the second most useless Autobot ever. Yes, his name is Padlock.

He is friends with the rookie Autobot Wing Dagger.

Fiction

Padlock was a security guard on Cybertron, alongside Wing Dagger. He was cruelly aerated by Shockblast in the rogue Decepticon's prison break, which set Wing Dagger on a quest to avenge him. Shockblast: Rampage

Orange jet Autobot

Hi I'm going to die.

This unnamed Autobot is definitely the most useless Autobot ever. He was guarding the Energon Core when Padlock and Wing Dagger left to investigate the breakout. His final act was to whistle cheerily before Shockblast elbowed him through a wall and then blew his spark out.

Notes

• Padlock and the "orange jet Autobot" are present among Hot Shot's troops defending Desert City. They both are destroyed several times over the course of the battle. Scorpinok

• Padlock's name, pronounced in the original Japanese show, is "Patroklu" - AKA, Patroklos, the friend and comerade of Achilles from the Iliad, whose death makes Achilles take up arms and start fighting in the war again - much like how Wing Saber does in Energon. Subtle, yes?
