Chop Shop (G1)
Chop Shop is an Insecticon in Generation 1 continuity.
Are you missing a few energon chips? Wasn't there a photon rectifier on that table a minute ago? Hey, has anyone seen my Actionmaster backpack recently? ...And where the heck did our new transwarp cruiser go?!
If it's not nailed, screwed, bolted, and nano-fused to the ground, chances are good Chop Shop has stolen it while you were reading this. The other Decepticons and his fellow Insecticons are well aware of Chop Shop's skill as a master thief, but they have no idea just how deep the compulsion goes. Chop Shop is a closet kleptomaniac, compeled to steal, not just from the Autobots, but also from his allies and even from himself! No peice of equipment or valuable item in Decepticon Headquarters is safe when he's around. So far he's been quick witted enough to cover his own tracks, but how long his luck holds out, and what his comrades will do when they realize just who's been robbing them blind, is anyone's guess. The more difficult it is to steal something the more Chop Shop feels compelled to rise to the challenge.
