Octopod (Transmetal)
Allegiance: Predacon
Size: About Airazor's size
Beast Mode: Transmetal Octopus
Gender: Male
First Appearance: "Alien Saga, Chapter 7: The Maze," by Beastbot

    Beast mode is a transmetal octopus. His head is regular below the eyes, but has transmetal gold plates on it above the eyes. Of his eight tentacles, every other one is transmetal gold as well. The rest of his body is organic and blue, like a regular octopus'.
    Vehicle mode: This mode is sort of a cross between an octopus and a helicopter. His gold plates on his head fold back to reveal a rotating turbine engine much like Inferno's. His four transmetal gold tentacles slide up to his left side and rotate outward, becoming propellers. Although this mode does look rather awkward, Octopod doesn't care, it lets him fly sideways.
    Transformation from Beast to Robot mode: Transmetal gold plates fold back and turbine and plates swing back. Two of the organic tentacles rotate and fold out to become robot arms; the other two rotate and fold out to become robot feet. Four transmetal gold tentacles swing to left and fold back behind Octopod's back, like Tarantulas Transmetal's. Octopod's head and chest fold up and out of octopus head and connect to arms and legs, while covering up transmetal gold plates and turbine.
    Robot mode: This mode looks mostly organic, with the only robotic parts being on Octopod's back. His arms and legs are organic tentacles in the shape of arms and legs, and are very slimy and moveable. His chest looks like Tarantulas Transmetal's, except that it's blue. His head looks like Claw Jaw's with Tarantulas' mouth. He is short, though, only about Airazor's size.
    Personality: A loyal Predacon follower, he is one of Scourge's intelligent yet loyal troops. He never says the word "Maximal", but replaces it with the word "Scum".
    Has a voice much like Tarantulas', only with a slightly higher pitch.
    Weapon: He can take off his transmetal gold tentacles and use them as spears. Don't worry, new ones come out of his subspace as soon as he throws them, so he doesn't run out after only four throws.
