Clone synthesizer



The clone synthesizer is a Decepticon device with the ability to create clones of Transformers.

The Transformers cartoon
The clone synthesizer was installed in the Decepticon's temporary base as they tried to lure the Autobots into a crevasse filled with korlonium crystals. Megatron had Laserbeak take scans of Optimus Prime. He used the scans along with the clone synthesizer to create a remote-piloted Optimus Prime clone that was so convincing that Teletraan I couldn't distinguish it from the real Optimus. To further convince the Autobots of the clone's authenticity, Megatron used the machine to clone Starscream as well, in order to provide a convincing "victim" for the fake Prime. After the failure of the plan, the Decepticons fled in their rocket, taking the clone synthesizer with them.
