[[File:Chromobots Transmute.jpg|thumb|upright=0.79|Sure he can fly, but where's his sonic scream?]]
'''Transmute''' is one of a team of heroic [[Chromobot]]s from the [[Chromatic Star Federation]]. Though serious-minded and dedicated to the pursuit of justice, Transmute is nonetheless a compassionate and empathetic leader, aided in no small part by his telepathic sensors and psionic scanners. In addition to his tracking skills, Transmute has the ability to transform his body into whatever he chooses, allowing him to seamlessly blend in in many situations.
 
Line 7:
Two weeks later, Transmute, Mikros, and Dudley were searching a city when a [[Tessa Stone|woman's]] scream alerted the boy to a kidnapping in progress on top of a building. Transmute recognised the culprit as Predator and confronted the criminal, announcing his intention to take him in, dead or alive. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 17/The Chromobots|Issue 17}} Transmute grappled with Predator and insisted he surrender and leave the developing planet Earth alone. Predator got the upper hand, but Transmute was saved by an optic blast from Mikros. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 18/The Chromobots|Issue 18}} Weakened, Transmute could only watch as Predator threw Mikros from the side of the building and then teleported away with his human hostage. With the villain gone without a trace and possessing abilities beyond those on record, Transmute worried what his team could to to stop him and protect both worlds. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 19/The Chromobots|Issue 19}}
 
After their encounter with Predator, Dudley and the Chromobots returned to the boy's bedroom. When Shield's psionic scan revealed that [[Dudley's dad]] had been awoken by their arrival, they each scrambled to hide, with Transmute lowering himself to transform into a cuddly toy of [[Humph|Humph the Cat]]. After his dad left, Dudley whispered for the other Chromobots to come out of hiding. Shield volunteered to return to their ship to update the Chromatic Star Federation, and Transmute declared that they wouldn't fail in overcoming Predator – though his embarrassment was compounded by his allies laughing at his disguise. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 20/The Chromobots|Issue 20}} While Shield was on the ship and Dudley was asleep, Transmute patrolled the area. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 21/The Chromobots|Issue 21}}
 
Following intel from Shield's contact [[Cygnet]], Dudley and the Chromobots searched the countryside in one of Shield's force bubbles for Predator. Transmute's psionic scan picked up a signal, which he and Shield discovered was the unconscious body of the abducted woman. The woman's time would be short if they couldn't get her treatment on the ship, but a sudden flash of energy transported the team to a ruined city. Transmute's sensors told him that they hadn't moved in space, but in time. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 22/The Chromobots|Issue 22}} His readings confirmed that they had travelled at least 550 years into the future: [[Robot universe#2535|2535 AD]]. He and Shield reasoned that the abducted woman's body had been bait to lure them into the time shift. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 23/The Chromobots|Issue 23}}
 
Transmute's attention was caught by Mikros being thrown through the air and landing in a heap. He was pursued by a monstrous [[brute]], who Shield took on in combat. The brute wasn't the only [[Chromatic Mutant|Mutant]] in the wasteland, as the Chromobots were soon approached by Predator's other creations, [[Rage]] and [[Menace]]. Transmute ducked as Menace swooped overhead. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 24/The Chromobots|Issue 24}} Transmute fought Menace, and was unimpressed by the Mutant's death threats. The fight was called off by Predator himself, who had arrived to gloat about his success in destroying Chromos Five and taking over the Earth. Transmute told the deluded criminal that he'd sunk to a new level of insanity, and Predator threatened to send him away with his [[time modulator]]. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 25/The Chromobots|Issue 25}}
 
Dudley thought quickly and snatched the modulator. As the boy ran back to the time shift, Transmute ordered the other Chromobots to hold off the Mutants. Dudley and Mikros were first to get back to 1985, and Shield and Transmute followed. Transmute immediately searched the area and found [[Tessa Stone]] where they'd left her. He reported this information back to Mikros, who explained to Dudley they they would have time to take care of her injuries. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 26/The Chromobots|Issue 26}}
