Simacore

## **Biography:**

Sneering and dismissive, the Orangucon Simacore *knows* that he's smart. This haughty Decepticon scientist sees no reason why he shouldn't lord his superior cerebration over the simpletons that dare to challenge his obvious intellectual superiority. If they were half as brilliant as he is, they wouldn't even think of competing against him in a test of brains or brawn. Unlike most eggheads, Simacore also boasts prodigious strength that goes hand-in-hand with a nasty temper, meaning that he's just as likely to pound your face in as he is to belittle your intelligence.

As a Deployer, Simacore has formed a partnership with the equally conceited Mini-Cons Axiom and Theorem. In spite of their frequent (well, *constant*) bickering, they make ideal research assistants. If things get really, er, hairy, they're more than happy to serve as backup in a fight, distracting foes before Simacore lays the smackdown.

## **Alchemor Database:**

On Cybertron, Simacore was a famously temperamental scientist. After an experiment went wrong, he took his frustrations out on his colleagues, which resulted in his imprisonment aboard the *Alchemor*. When the ship crashed on Earth, Simacore and his Mini-Cons escaped. To get back home, Simacore planned to build a starship. He broke into a particle research laboratory and stole a secondary control circuit from a particle accelerator. Before he could escape, he was confronted by Bumblebee, Strongarm, and a temporarily superintelligent Grimlock.

## **Season 2:**

Simacore took advantage of Grimlock's newfound clumsiness to defeat him, then quickly clobbered Strongarm and Bumblebee before escaping. Realizing that Grimlock had made off with his circuitboard while he was preoccupied, he set off to confront the Dinobot, who had locked himself in an observation room. After realizing that he and his Mini-Cons were incapable of breaking through, Simacore took the other two Autobots hostage and magnetized them to a particle accelerator. With only a few minutes before the beam fired, Grimlock - who had been returned to his normal intellect, albeit temporarily immobilized- called Simacore to the observation room, where he intended to challenge the Decepticon to a contest of intelligence. Grimlock, Fixit, Denny, and Russell managed to stall Simacore long enough for Grimlock to regain mobility, whereupon he flattened the Decepticon with his signature cannonball move. Simacore and his Mini-Cons were subsequently put back in a stasis pod.

**Notes**

* Simacore uses an altered version of Groundpounder's gorilla-themed character model, altered to resemble a Bornean orangutan. He also has symmetrical arms, and transforms into tracked research vehicle.
* Simacore returns in *The Fastest Bot Alive,* but there is a explanation behind it. The stasis cell he was contained in somehow malfunctioned, and is now driven by Revenge.
* Simacore used Vertebreak's old Mad Scientist Laboratory back in *Some Body, Any Body* to produce clones of his Mini-Cons Axiom and Theorem.
* He stores his Minicons in his shoulders, and can launch them like any other Minicon deployer.
* He prides himself on his intellect. Unlike most depictions of this trope, however, he has the muscle to match his immense brainpower.
* After the failure of his last experiment on Cybertron, he brutally beat his lab partners to a pulp, leading to his imprisonment on the *Alchemor*.
