Doublecross
- Doubelcross is an Autobot Monsterbot in the Generation 1 continuity family.
You can't depend on Doublecross, since he is literally of two minds about... well, everything. Each of his beast heads has its own personality and they can't agree on anything. Make a deal or set plans with one hissing half of Doublecross and you'll likely find the other knew nothing about it and refuses to help. Just about the only thing they can agree with themselves on is destroying Decepticons. Thankfully they are, at least, good at that.
- Italian name: Drekbot
- French-Canadian name: Traître
(Hmm. Traître sounds like Tater.)
Fiction
Toy commercial
Doublecross and the Monsterbots were created accidentally during an attempt to create new Autobots. Kup raced to warn Rodimus Prime and Blurr of the accident, as the wild Monsterbots trashed the lab where they were born. Thankfully the Decepticons attacked just then and the Monsterbots burst out of the building through the wall to fight them. Rodimus expressed relief that, though they were monsters, at least they were Autobot monsters.
Marvel comics continuity
Doublecross, along with the other Monstrobots, joined Fortress Maximus on his travels to Nebulos in search of peace. That dream proved faulty when the Decepticons followed them there. Doublecross took part if the attempted defense of the Mercury gardens, which they lost. As expected, Doublecross was of two minds about the outcome.
Headmasters animated series
He helped in fights against the Battle Beasts and new Decepticon Headmasters. He got beaten a lot.
3H Wreckers comics
Less than 3 deca-cycles after the reformatting of Cybertron into a technorganic wonderland, Doublecross and his fellow Monsterbots (apparently all having undergone the Maximal upgrade downsizing) are seen exiting a bar on the CSSB-16 Spaceport souced out of their minds on some high quality energon. If they had been a bit less drunk or a exited just a bit latter, they likely would have run smack into Devcon and the Dinobots, as is... they just missed another chance to actually DO something in a TF story. sigh.
