Repairing him, Octane used Trypticon as a bargaining chip, securing enough oil to convert to energon for himself, attacking Carbombya's enemies in return. The city-sized Decepticon had been knocked into the ocean after his last battle with Metroplex.

In the episode "Thief in the Night", Octane deserted the Decepticons and fled to Carbombya and there he discovered Trypticon. His eventual alliance with Starscream, in which the two refer to each other as old friends, further implies Octane's status as having originally served under Megatron. Octane first appears in "Five Faces of Darkness (Part 1)" where it is presumed that he is among the Decepticons exiled from Cybertron during the movie. It is implied, however, that he existed in the Decepticon ranks during and even prior to The Transformers: The Movie, though he is not seen in the feature. In the original Generation 1 cartoon, Octane only appeared in the third season. Being one of the three Decepticon Triple Changers, Octane can transform between a robot mode and two vehicle modes: a tanker truck and a Boeing 767 jet.Īfter losing the rights to the original trademark many years after his introduction, Hasbro assigned the name Tankor to the character. In jet mode, he is said to make other planes (even other Decepticons) crash-land for fun. He is characterized as a mean-spirited bully, who takes delight in seeing others suffer. Octane is the Decepticons' fueler, in charge of storing and distributing fuel among Decepticons with vehicle modes.
