Garagebot (a.k.a. Garbagebot) was part of the Moon-based Decepticon invasion force in Dark of the Moon. After Sentinel Prime betrayed the Autobots and opened up the space bridge, the Decepticon joined his friends in invading Earth, taking on a green and white Waste Management truck alt mode. This Decepticon may well have been killed, as there was also a robot transforms in Garbage truck under a different name among the KSI prototypes. Also, the death of Garagebot is hinted at by the fact that in the The Last Knight Megatron had an Onslaught in the team and not a Garagebot, Despite the fact that Garagebot did not die and was not listed as deceased.
He transforms into a green and white Waste Managament truck. He's sneakier than you might expect.
History[]
Transformers: Dark of the Moon[]
Garagebot was one of the many Decepticons stationed on the Moon who traveled to Earth through Sentinel Prime's space bridge to Washington, D.C. Not long afterwards, he scanned a garbage truck and went on his merry way.
Transformers: Age of Extinction[]
Five years after the Battle of Chicago, Garagebot was not listed as "deceased" by the CIA taskforce, Cementery Wind.
Trivia[]
- Before assuming the form of a garbage truck, Garagebot resembled Long Haul, stripped of all identifiable vehicle parts.
- Despite a prominent scanning scene and the presence of an identical truck at the site of Sam and Starscream's battle, Garagebot never appears again after the Washington D.C. attack.
- Garagebot's identity was unknown until Attinger's playing card of the character was revealed in a prop auction for the Transformers film series held in 2019. And yes, whoever made the prop card almost certainly meant "Garbagebot", but that's not what got written.
- Because the playing card features an image of Long Haul's earth mode model, it is possible that the Long Haul-type Decepticon that is seen in the final battle of Dark of the Moon is Garagebot. However, Garagebot's card does not have any red markings, indicating that the dead Long Haul lookalike is an unrelated character.
- His name is "Garagebot" but after the release of the Cementery Wind's cards subasty, was confirmed that the name was a typo and the true name of the character is "Garbagebot". Thus, this was a typo in the name for the protoform character.
