Transformers (2007)

In theTitan magazinecontinuity, drones here have a "fulcrum drone", a drone that the others are linked to and informs them of allegiance and objective; if it's reprogrammed, the drones switch sides.Revolution Part 2IDW Publishing's comics are unclear on the nature of their drones, althoughChris Mowryhas said he sees them asprotoformswhose lack of intelligence led them to be designated as livestock assigned to simple tasks (he sees the multipleConstructiconsas a prime example). A character like Dreadwing was a drone who showed signs of actual intelligence.^[1]

Instances of unreliability in the past have caused the Autobots and Decepticons to develop "kill switches" to be used in case their drone forces are rendered uncontrollable in combat.^[2]

Revenge of the Fallen

Drones are small scouts used by Decepticons for salvage, reconnaissance, and infiltration. They have little firepower, which has earned them the nickname "scrap drones" from other Decepticons.^[3]

Not so small Transformers likeConstructiconsare also said to be drones.^[4]

• Rallybots
• Destructicons

Age of Extinction

Using the corpses of dead Cybertronians, thehuman-operated companyKinetic Solutions Incorporatedspecialized in creating new, prototype drones via salvagedtransformiumand controlling them via remote operation. Because the drones had no realsparks,they transformed very differently than normal Autobots or Decepticons; they could split into a cloud of free-flowing transformium and instantly reassemble themselves into robot or vehicle configurations. The largest and most advanced drone prototype, code-named "Galvatron", would eventually be commandeered by the rogue spark ofMegatron,resurrecting the Decepticon leader in a new body. Galvatron would eventually revolt against his creators, revealing his sentience to KSI and bringing the rest of the drones to life (except forOreo Transformer) to serve as a new Decepticon army.Age of Extinction
