"...But I can't..."
Mainframe is a computational powerhouse for the Autobot Ministry of Science. Though his alt-mode is an immobile computer, his abilities to parse data and find patterns put most of his peers to shame, which earned him distinction during the Software Wars. Often he is found working on some very top-secret projects for the Cybertron Elite Guard.
Fiction
Animated cartoon
Voice actor: Walker Boone (English) Years ago, Mainframe and Highbrow were working on the memory-wiped Arcee, trying to retrieve the Project Omega data feared lost when she was captured by Lockdown. He was present when Arcee's failsafe transmitted the hidden data to Ratchet. TransWarped
Many many many years later, he was part of the crowd cheering on the return of Sentinel "Magnus" to Cybertron and the capture of three Decepticon prisoners. Decepticon Air
Significantly less time after that, he was seen doing the same for Optimus Prime and his crew upon their victory over Megatron, this time with facial expression! Endgame, Part II
Notes
- Mainframe was officially revealed in a March 09 blog post by Derrick J. Wyatt.
- He is an obvious homage to the Generation 1 Action Master of the same name, and like his Generation 1 counterpart, he does not transform. Aww. [1] If he did, however, he would transform into a Cray supercomputer.
- According to Wyatt's twitter feed, Mainframe "is totally in the show because Trent Troop bought me the toy at last year's Botcon." [2]
Foreign names
- Japanese: Mainframe (メインフレーム Meinfurēmu)
