Cogman is a Headmaster, diminutive in size for a Transformer. As the faithful manservant of Sir Edmund Burton, he's very polite and proper, but suffers from... "anger issues."

History[]

After Cade Yeager was given the Talisman, Cogman reported the fact to Sir Burton and the pair began making preparations. Cogman was dispatched to the United States of America where he tracked down the holder of the Talisman, Cade Yeager who, with Izabella and Jimmy, was trying to evade TRF drones at the time. Encountering the trio in a lift, Cogman immediately got into a fight with Yeager, who was shortly afterwards spirited away by one of the drones, forcing Cogman to contact Sir Burton to report everything had gone terribly wrong and Cade was probably going to die. Fortunately, Cade survived the experience, and Cogman cleaned him up before introducing himself properly. He successfully talked Cade into leaving everyone else and heading to England with him by plane.

Cogman eventually arrived back at Castle Folgan with Yeager and Bumblebee shortly before Hot Rod arrived with Viviane Wembly. Cogman served the humans tea before attempting to decapitate Cade after he got fresh with Ms. Wembly. Fortunately, Sir Burton talked him out of it. He walked the dog as the group took a walk across the estate to the Round Table recreation and proceeded to play an organ and provide a choral accompaniment to Burton's exposition about King Arthur, much to Burton's annoyance. When the TRF and MI6 moved in on the castle, Cogman alerted everyone and organized the evacuation. He and Sir Burton headed to Trinity Library in London, where Cogman dropped his master off, serving as a distraction to the authorities and returning for a pickup once Burton had learned Earth was actually Unicron. A car chase with the TRF ensued, even after the pair switched to a decoy car. Ever the dutiful butler, Cogman even passed on Burton's phone messages while evading the authorities, and after a call from Viviane, they headed to the Royal Navy Museum to rendezvous with her and Cade. Cogman managed to lose the TRF on the way, and when they arrived, Burton parted ways with Cogman, leaving him to protect Cade and Viviane as they departed by sub to find the Staff of Merlin.

After the sub was attacked by the military, Cogman again had to stop Cade getting fresh with Ms. Wembly, and subsequently shot himself out of the sub like a torpedo. He returned with two large fish which he made into sushi for the two humans. The submarine eventually arrived at a massive ancient Cybertronian ship and entered. Cogman refused to go into the water to reach the ship inside, adding Bumblebee to his list when the larger Autobot knocked him in. He later emerged from the top of the ship with Viviane after Megatron made off with the staff. The Cybertronian ship took them back to Stonehenge in England where Cogman was reunited with his master. As Burton lay dying, blasted by Megatron, Cogman ran to his side, and Burton thanked him for his service before dying.
