Hirotaka Suzuoki (Japanese)Devcon (or Defcon) is an Autobot bounty hunter.

Animated series

Devcon made his only animated appearance in the second season episode of the animated series called "The Gambler". Here, he appeared attempting to collect a bounty on Dirge, Astrotrain and Ramjet. Meeting up with Smokescreen, he discovered Smokescreen's allies, including Optimus Prime, had been captured by Lord Gyconi, a local shady businessman. Realizing the Decepticons and Gyconi were in league, the two teamed up against their common foe. 1The two tracked down and engaged the villains in a firefight. Outnumbered and outgunned, they were saved when Gyconi's assistant Sleezardo betrayed him, allowing them to capture Gyconi and rescue the other Autobots from Gyconi's pit fights. Devcon then teamed up with Sleezardo, offering him a partnership to apprehend the Decepticons. He was not seen again in the series, although Sleezardo appeared in the third season (the subsequent BotCon "Universe" comics revealed that Devcon abandoned Sleezardo in space after getting the information he required).

3H Enterprises

In the BotCon exclusive "Transformers: Universe - The Wreckers" comics, Devcon reappeared as one of the victims of Megatron's conquest of Cybertron in Beast Machines. However, when Megatron tried to insert his spark in a Vehicon body, Devcon retained his individuality and joined Primal Prime's band of Wreckers. Devcon put up the most resistance to the former Decepticons Cyclonus and Skywarp in the group, and also had a strong dislike of the former Predacon Packrat. These issues were rendered irrelevant when Cyclonus betrayed the Wreckers and stole the Divine Light (an object of enormous power) to deliver it to Cryotek. Devcon was next seen meeting the Dinobots in issue 3, apparently now split off from the main group hunting Cryotek - but 3H would lose the licence, leaving the story uncompleted.

According to the script for the unreleased issue #4 of "Transformers: Universe - The Wreckers" Devcon and the Dinobots returned to Cybertron where they helped repel the an invasion by the Quintessons.

Dreamwave Productions
