Centurion droid


 * The Centurion Droids are non-sentient drones on Cybertron.



The Centurion droids are an automated defense guarding the Vector Sigma supercomputer. Though possessing no weapons, Centurions are trained in hand-to-hand combat to stop all intruders. They also possess very strong armor that protects them from attacks, making them even more dangerous. They tend to be encountered in large numbers.

They must be either evaded or tricked in order for one to approach Vector Sigma. Fortunately, that's not hard.

The Key to Vector Sigma
The Centurion Droids were first encountered deep within planet Cybertron, guarding the chamber of Vector Sigma from both Autobots and Decepticons. Megatron was able to bypass them by using the Key to Vector Sigma to override their defenses, but Optimus Prime and his Autobots were not so lucky. Unable to defeat the Centurions in combat, the Autobots kept them busy with a slew of ancient worker droids. The worker droids stumbled off the edge of a chasm, leading the Centurions to follow like lemmings.

After Vector Sigma and Alpha Trion gave life to the new Aerialbots, the Autobots attempted to return to Omega Supreme, but the way was blocked by dozens of Centurion droids. The Aerialbots used their flight capabilities to good effect, routing the Centurions and enabling the Autobots to escape. As Omega Supreme headed for Earth, the Centurion droids angrily shook their fists at the retreating Autobots.

Dweller TP
When Mixmaster and Windshear tried to answer the call and descend to the Dweller’s depths, they were stopped by the presence of massive Guardian drones. These drones are actually protecting Vector Sigma, but to get through the Tunnels beneath Kalis, they must be handled.
