Computron

*Computron is an Autobot combiner from the Generation 1 continuity family.*I'm a Mac.
**Computron** is the combination of the five Autobot Technobots. Typically, the combiner process dulls the wits of the individual Transformers because the minds of the individual robots are working in tandem and may not mesh well with each other. However, such is not the case for Computron. The Technobots managed to remedy that problem by pooling their intellects as one cohesive force, but in the process, severely lagged Computron's reaction time. Before coming to any decision, Computron must analyze the opinions of every individual Technobot, resulting in his falling behind in battle. In the end, he always makes the correct choice, but more often than not it's too little, too late. Thanks for nothing, brainiac!

Computron is composed of:

* Scattershot (torso)
* Afterburner (right arm)
* Lightspeed (right leg)
* Nosecone (left leg)
* Strafe (left arm)

Brawn without brains ill-becomes a warrior, Decepticon! You're too data-deficient to even *comprehend* what this acid-pellet gun is doing to you!

The Terrorcons and the Decepticon Horrorcons Apeface and Snapdragon were busy "terrorizing" the Nebulan city of Splendora when the Technobots arrived together with Brainstorm and Hardhead to save the day. Once the Terrorcons combined to form Abominus, Scattershot ordered the Technobots to do likewise.

Computron ordered the Nebulans to find shelter, vowing to protect them. He fared well against his dim-witted opponent, first blasting the bajeezus out of Abominus with his primary weapon, then bashing him with a steel I-beam with sufficient force to shatter the Decepticon combiner into his component Terrorcons, who promptly retreated.

Computron stood by as Duros and Arcana separated from their Autobot partners to explain to the shell-shocked Nebulans that *this* batch of giant alien robots wasn't out to terrorize anybody. Love and Steel!

After Grimlock created the Technobots from parts within Unicron's head, he revealed that they had the ability to combine to form Computron to counter the new Decepticon combiner Abominus. Computron stated that his computation capacity was near infinite, but he lacked the knowledge to use this capacity. Grimlock then transferred his anti-electron-endowed super-intelligence to the combiner via a silly helmet. Abominus tried to crush Computron in a powerful hug, but the Technobot gestalt fought back by vibrating violently, forcing Abominus to disengage into its Terrorcon components, who fled away along with Galvatron and the rest of his minions. Grimlock's New Brain

After the Technobots and Marissa Faireborn rescued space rogue Dirk Manus from Hun-Grrr, Computron formed in order to evaluate the probability that Manus's tale of a Quintesson base on Titan wasn't a load of lies. He calculated it wasn't, and was absolutely correct. Computron had a chance for a rematch with Abominus once the full team made it to Titan, as the Terrorcons were working with the Quintessons... who were making trade deals for stolen goods with Manus. Computron again defeated Abominus, this time by using a focused blast from a hidden chest-cannon that triggered a mechanism that the Quintessons had installed into the Terrorcons in order to limit the time they could spend in their combined form.

Abominus got Computron back when the Technobots were sent to defend Mark Morgan's laboratory. Almost immediately after combining, Abominus declared that "Computron think too much" and blasted him, forcing him to disassemble. The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1
