Fiction

Robo-Capers

Lamphead was active on Earth, but was taken out of action when he short-circuited after a dog urinated on him. Robo-Capers issue 88

Notes

• Lamphead is not the first Decepticon with a lamp-post alt-mode. That distinction, of course, goes to cartoon Soundwave.
• In the Movieverse at least, such incidents are not always fatal.
