Meltdown (Prime)

The name or term "Meltdown" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Meltdown (disambiguation).

Meltdown is an Autobot from the Transformers Universe portion of the Aligned continuity family.

Meltdown despises war but wouldn't dream of leaving a fellow Autobot behind to face it alone. His specialty is using beam weapons for repair or, if absolutely necessary, combat. It is rumored that he cares "too much" and has some emotional issues with combat, even closing his eyes rather than watching his missiles hit a living target. Still, those issues aside he is the best kind of health insurance to have on a battlefield. An Autobot "Guardian," he is designed to absorb massive amounts of damage and outfitted with everything needed to repair himself and other robots around him. Meltdown is all about controlling the battlefield and in addition to his durability and repair capabilities he can also paralyze and repel opponents.

“	If an Autobot is in trouble, Meltdown puts it all on the line.	”

• His in-game abilities are Beam Polarizer, Repulsor Probe and Beam Protector. His active subsystem is "Positronic Conduit" which repairs him for a percentage of damage.
