Rogue Decepticons and villains, Dr. Meridian, getting in trouble with her parents

## Personality

**Morgan Violet "Mo" Malto** was the youngest of the Malto kids until Twitch and Thrash came into being. Your typical rambunctious 9-year-old, Mo deeply cares for the rest of her family and tries her best to help her brother Robby get used to their rapidly-changing circumstances. Unfortunately, trying to keep her siblings happy has the tendancy to get her into trouble with parents Dot and Alex.

## History

Mo once had a bicycle named Rocinante. Secret Legacy, Part 2

### Secret Legacy, Part 1

After the Maltos moved from Philadelphia to Witwicky, Mo tried to help her brother settle in. When he attempted to cycle back to Philly, she followed him, only for her own bike to break and the pair were caught up in a battle between a G.H.O.S.T. convoy and Arachnamechs. The two kids took shelter in a cave where they found the Emberstone which equipped them with cyber-sleeves and created new Transformers Twitch and Thrash. The four of them soon realized that they were emotionally bonded, and Robby and Mo opted to take them home and keep them hidden. They managed to persuade Alex to retell the story of the Transformers while Twitch and Thrash were in earshot.

### Secret Legacy, Part 2

Thrash practiced juggling using Mo and some rocks, and observed that Mo seemed a lot happier than she had been before. When they discovered that Twitch had scanned an alternate mode, Mo had the idea they should go into town to look for things to scan. The pair were attacked by Arachnamechs and saved by the arrival of first Robby and Twitch, and then Optimus Prime and Elita-1. Reunited with their mother, they tried unsuccessfully to persuade her not to let G.H.O.S.T. take Twitch and Thrash away. Unfortunately it turned out the two Terrans had actually been abducted by evil scientist Mandroid, and Mo and Robby had to use their emotional link to guide the rescue team to find the pair. In the aftermath of the rescue, the Maltos took the two Terrans home to be part of their family.

### Moo-ving In

Bumblebee's attempts to train the Terrans fell on deaf ears, as they were too busy picking apples and appreciating cute cows with Robby and Mo. Mo took part in Malto Family Game Night, and when Twitch stormed out and caused a herd of cows to stampede, Mo and Thrash worked together to round them up again.

In Following damage to the house caused by a game of capture the flag that Robby, Mo and the Terrans were playing, Dot and Alex imposed a new rule that the bots couldn't go in the house. Thrash persuaded Mo to smuggle him in anyway so they could watch wrestling. The pair again managed to damage the house and were grounded by Dot, but Thrash talked Mo into following their mother into town. There they encountered the Decepticon Swindle, who befriended them and duped them into helping him search for his brother Hardtop. When he eventually turned on them when Mo refused to help him break into a G.H.O.S.T. truck, Mo called up her mother, who arrived with Bumblebee and rescued the pair. House Rules

### Traditions

Dot took Mo, Robby, Twitch and Thrash to her ranger station work to show them her workplace, only to discover it was built atop the G.H.O.S.T. HQ. The four kids fell into a Decepticon trap while attempting to avoid detection by Agent Schloder, at which point Mo was angered to find out that Roddy and Twitch had been going out exploring at night without telling her or Thrash. They were found in the pit trap by Optimus, who hid them in his trailer in the G.H.O.S.T. base, however it wasn't long before they went wandering and ended up trapped in one of Megatron's combat simulations. After working together to defeat the simulation, Robby and Mo got over their previous fight. Classified Robby and Mo listened to their father's tale of the Wakwak before heading off to bed. The next day, Mo was too busy teaching Thrash to play the guitar to go on a Wakwak hunt, and later the pair serenaded the rest of the family with their musical abilities.

### Decoy

When the emotional feedback from their link caused problems for Robby and Mo on their first day of school, they asked the Terrans to stay home. They later found the Terrans had gone missing, and with Bumblebee's help, tracked the pair down and found Twitch and Thrash were critically low on energy. Fortunately they discovered that the Terrans seemed to be powered by water rather than energon. Friends and Family Bumblebee's lesson on using decoys wasn't particularly successful until Mo came up with the idea of turning it into a song. Bee left Mo, Robby, Twitch and Thrash to be trained by Arcee for a while, and she forced them to do work until they eventually rebelled and she revealed the lesson was to not let others order them around. After learning that Bumblebee had ditched them in order to join an in-progress battle, Arcee took the kids to join in, and Mo's song turned out to be effective in combating the cassette Decepticons' sonic attacks. Decoy

### Age of Evolution, Part 1

Mo and the other Maltos attended a G.H.O.S.T. Autobot Alliance ceremony which came under attack by Nova Storm and Skywarp, resulting in them having to take cover. Optimus later had the kids lead him to the cave where the Terrans were created, where they found the Emberstone. Again attacked by the two Seekers along with a swarm of Arachnamechs, the kids took shelter in the cave where Mo's plea for help resulted in the creation of three more Terrans.

### Age of Evolution, Part 2

With Dot and Megatron captured by Mandroid, Mo and the others regrouped to come up with a plan. The rescue became dangerous when it turned out Mandroid's base was a giant mech, and Mo joined Robby, Jawbreaker and their father in taking out the mech's external cameras. Once the mech was destroyed, the Malto family was reunited with three new Terran members.

## Powers and abilities

Mo is surprisingly emotionally intelligent for a 9-year-old, to the point that it's often her that has to calm down or reassure Robby, rather than the other way around.
