Biography

Dr. Meridian

He came to be drafted by G.H.O.S.T. during the war to work in robotics. He worked in a lab in San Francisco until the building was destroyed by Autobot friendly fire during the Battle of the Bay and he had to be pulled from the rubble by his Arachnamechs. Gaining a hatred of the aliens warring on Earth, he resolved to do his utmost to destroy them. (Episode: Age of Evolution) Years later, he had set up base in Pennsylvania, not far from G.H.O.S.T. HQ in Witwicky, and had his Arachnamechs attack G.H.O.S.T. convoys. They were able to intercept the transport carrying the Decepticon Hardtop, and Meridian removed the Con's right arm. He attached the limb to himself to replace the arm he'd lost during the war. Learning of new Transformers, Meridian was able to fake a G.H.O.S.T. convoy to abduct them for examination. Learning that they were unlike the other Cybertronians, he dubbed the pair "Cybertronus terrans", leading them to dub him "Mandroid" in response. When Optimus Prime turned up with forces to rescue the two Terrans, Mandroid unleashed Hardtop, Shrapnel, Bombshell and Skullcruncher to fight them while he hastily escaped.(Episode: Secret Legacy) Finding it difficult to aim and fire a Cybertronian-sized blaster with Hardtop's arm, Mandroid ordered his Arachnamechs to capture him more Cybertronians. (Episode: Traditions)

Gaining the services of Nova Storm and Skywarp, Mandroid sent the pair to attack a televised Autobot Alliance ceremony with the aim of obtaining Optimus Prime's left arm. Though they failed, Mandroid switched to a more subtle plan, using the pair as bait in a trap. The trap resulted in him capturing Megatron and Dot Malto — though the latter rebuffed his invitation to join his crusade against the Cybertronians — and he dispatched the two Seekers with Arachnamechs, this time intending to use the captives as hostages to obtain the arm he wanted. Though he had his Arachnamechs hunt Dot through the base, she was able to get out a signal. When Optimus and the two Terrans arrived at his base as captives of more Terrans posing as bounty hunters, Mandroid quickly saw through the deception. Mandroid unleashed the full power of his base, revealing it to be a giant mech. The ensuing battle saw the defeat of the mech, though Mandroid still made his escape. (Episode: Age of Evolution)
