Mol
From Transformers Wiki
- Mol is a Maximal from the Beast Era portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Mol is an ancient task drone, recently reformatted after being offline for eons, due to the machinations of Decepticons. In the present day, he now uses his digging abilities towards finding organic life on Cybertron, or sabotages the Vehicons' effort to eradicate the Maximals by planting sophisticated silicon-encased explosives close to the enemy's emplacements. Although he is reliable, he possesses a negative-attitude, and is often depressed. Nonetheless, he possesses offensive capabilities, and can fire his metal tearing, serrated circular blade that slices through Vehicon circuits.

Having recently been discovered by Nightscream, Mol and his fellow Deployers Rav and Dillo were escorting the young Maximal and Optimus Primal back to their hidden base when they were stopped cold by a squad of Vehicon Tank Drones. Things looked grim for the group until Ramulus, Primal Prime and Apelinq arrived and were all super-awesome and unstoppable. The whole group then journeyed underground, where the Oracle gave the gathered Cybertronians their tasks. The shifty Maximal Packrat convinced the Deployers to join up with the Wreckers crew.
The Deployers took part in the later battle for the Autobot shuttle that would take the Wreckers off-planet, fighting through hundreds of Vehicon drones. However, once they were on board and off-planet, the Deployers, Spittor and Sonar were battered insensible by a stowaway, the bounty hunter Devcon. Departure
Things didn't get much better for Mol and crew, as an act of sabotage by Cyclonus sent explosions rocking through the ship. The section the Deployers, Spittor and Sonar were in was jettisoned by Packrat, leaving the five to die a fiery death in deep space. Betrayal
