Beastbox was one of Soundwave's minions. Appearing to take the form of a gorilla, or other large ape, he tends to attack in a state of extreme rage.
History[]
Under the command of Soundwave, Beastbox was a crew member of the Nemesis on its mission to locate a Star Harvester. Together with Rumble, he tried to keep the ship under control after it was damaged in a collision with the Ark, but in the end the crew discarded it in order to pursue the Ark on a smaller ship.
After humans who were unrelated to N.E.S.T. intervened in a battle between Autobots and Decepticons, Beastbox was among the minions Soundwave dispatched to attack this new human threat, leaving one alive for interrogation. The operation was not a success, and eventually, Soundwave was forced to pull out his forces, including Beastbox.
Beastbox later joined Buzzsaw, Rumble, Dirt Boss, and Ratbat in saving the captured Soundwave from a Bumblebee led Autobot convoy in New Mexico. Beastbox battled Joltuntil Bumblebee, seeing his team being overwhelmed, pulled out, allowing the Decepticons to retrieve Soundwave. He tracked Ravage back to the Initiative base in eastern California. After Dirt Boss broke through the outer defenses, Rumble and Beastbox were sent in to face a bunch of robot tanks. The tanks blasted at Beastbox as he ripped into several of their number.
Beastbox accompanied Soundwave and other Decepticons as they ambushed Arcee, Elita-One, and Chromia. In the fight, he and Ravage tackled Elita-One, and he bit down on her shoulder. After Elita-One's death, courtesy of Shockwave, Beastbox joined Soundwave when Chromia attempted suicide by setting off a bomb which caught Beastbox in the blast, presumably killing the gorilla-bot.
