Geddis brothers


 * The Geddis brothers are human gangsters.

The Geddis brothers are a pair of two-bit New York-based gangsters, who aren't beyond selling their own race out to the Decepticons for a quick buck. They specialize in converting stolen cars. Jim Geddis is the fat one with grey hair, and Phil Geddis is the thin one with dark hair.

"You promised us a car by midnight."

"It is now one minute after midnight!"

"You're late."

- The Geddis Brothers, about to teach Raoul what happens to bad little boys who break their promises

The Transformers cartoon
In need of money, Raoul promised the Geddis brothers a car by midnight. When he didn't deliver the car by the allotted deadline, the brothers went looking for him. Finding him in an alley, Jim roughed him up a bit, announcing ominously that they were going to take him for a ride to the river. Unfortunately for them, Raoul had made a new friend — an Autobot named Tracks. Mistaking Tracks for a Decepticon, the brothers jumped into their purple limo and made a run for it though Manhattan. Though Tracks took to the air and caught up with them, they managed to lose him at their warehouse.

When they had accumulated 500 cars, they delivered them to a secret base in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. The Decepticons had promised them a million dollars for their work, but when Jim asked for it, Megatron introduced the pair to the business end of his fusion cannon. Jim took a futile shot at the Decepticon leader with a laser pistol, but the return fire sent the Geddis brothers fleeing into the woods, and they were never seen again.

The Decepticons converted the stolen cars into drones for a massive attack on New York.
