Tag Index
From this section you can browser through all of the possible tags
that may have been assigned to a news story. The number of stories
tagged to each tag appears within brackets after the tag name. E.G Megatron (456)
means that 456 news stories have been tagged with the phrase "Megatron".
To navigate, simply use the top bar to browse by the first character of the tag phrase.
As mentioned in the previous news article we received the press pack
from Turner Broadcasting today which included the profiles for the main
human characters in Transformers Animated.
SARI
SUMDAC
(Voiced
by Tara Strong)
Although
Sari is one hundred percent human, she’s an “honorary” AUTOBOT.
As the adopted daughter of robotics magnate Isaac Sumdac, Sari lived
a sheltered life until she met the AUTOBOTS. Obsessed by his work,
Sumdac had little time for Sari growing up. As a result, she was
raised largely by his domestic robot drones, whom little Sari came to
love as deeply as any parent, nanny, teddy bear and/or imaginary
friend.
Sari
is also integral to the survival of the AUTOBOTS. When they first
awakened on Earth, the ALLSPARK scanned for technology that would
allow the AUTOBOTS to blend in with their environment. But it
scanned something else first: an organic life form—specifically, a
pre-pubescent girl who was hanging around her father’s robotics
factory. Call it an accident or call it destiny, but the ALLSPARK
projected part of itself onto Sari in the form of THE KEY. Wearing
it on a chain around her neck, Sari can use the Key to absorb the
ALLSPARK energy and store it like a battery, providing an emergency
power supply and healing source for the AUTOBOTS in battle. It also
provides Sari with an almost psychic connection to the AUTOBOTS. She
can sense when they’re in danger and when DECEPTICONS are near.
Sari
acts as the unofficial ambassador to the planet Earth for the
AUTOBOTS, cluing them in on such alien concepts as junk food, school,
sleep, popularity, shopping, belching contests, fashion and the
dreaded tow away zones.
ISAAC
SUMDAC
(Voiced
by Tom Kenny)
As
the founder of the modern robotics industry, Sumdac single-handedly
transformed the city of Detroit from the crumbling symbol of a
declining automobile industry to the gleaming, thriving beacon of the
future it becomes in the 22nd Century. And his public awe
and deep gratitude toward the AUTOBOTS is largely responsible for
their elevated superhero status on Earth.
One
night in the late 21st Century, the young Sumdac thought
he saw a falling star cascade into his back field, but it was
something much better. It was the smoldering, non-functioning
remains of the head of an alien robot, Megatron. Turns out, after
his battle with OPTIMUS PRIME and the AUTOBOTS, a badly damaged
Megatron ejected from his ship and crashed to Earth, landing in
Sumdac’s field. In the decades that passed while the AUTOBOTS
slumbered in stasis at the bottom of Lake Erie, Sumdac was able to
reverse the Cybertronian technology engineered by Megatron and usher
in the Automatronic Revolution of the 22nd Century.
But
what Sumdac doesn’t know is that the remains of the cybernetic
alien he recovered may be more functional than they appear. And
Megatron has been manipulating Sumdac to bring Earth technology to a
level that will allow him to reconstruct his battle damaged body and
a whole new army of DECEPTICONS.
CAPTAIN
FANZONE
(Voiced
by Jeff Bennett)
Captain
Fanzone is not an AUTOBOT, but a police detective whose car was
scanned to become the vehicle mode for BUMBLEBEE. He’s a harried,
overworked, but basically good and honest cop, albeit one whose day
is perpetually ruined by one of those “giant walking toasters”
(especially BUMBLEBEE, who has the audacity to run around looking
like his car). A ludite at heart with old-fashioned tastes for vinyl
records, old cars and analogue everything), Fanzone prefers the
stairs to the elevator, walking to the people-mover, talking
face-to-face over IM-ing, etc. Technology constantly confounds him,
everything from the snack machine to the forever malfunctioning
Sumdac Security Drones he’s forced to work with.
