| - Mr. Bamt spoke with a distinctive speech pattern (speaking in a very quiet gravelly voice, and rarely in complete sentences) represented with all lower case letters and constant ellipses. He also constantly demanded that he was "defending this planet" and that everyone should "apologize... right now... to [his] face." Mr. Bamt also constantly referred to everyone else as "kiddie." During his first mission, Mr. Bamt bickered with his fellow Vehicon generals. His frustration grew to a point so high, that he engaged thrusters (that most people didn't think he had) and took off into orbit. As revealed on his return in the eighth episode (The Changeling) Mr. Bamt was sucked into a timewarp while in orbit of Cybertron, which plunged him into the late 20th century. Rather than say, get involved in the Great War, Mr. Bamt got himself hired out to become a prop in the movie Total Recall. While there he met a man who referred to himself as Benny. Benny and Mr. Bamt binary bonded, turning themselves into something similar to a Headmaster, although Benny did not attach as Bamt's head. Benny, in fact, attached near the rear of Mr. Bamt, leading other characters to make obscene "-master" jokes (the very fact that it may be a Powermaster relationship was never discussed - and oddly enough Mr. Bamt's transformation was never dependent on the presence of Benny). Benny and Mr. Bamt's alliance was short lived though, as they quickly went in differing directions. In the final episode of the first season, Mr. Bamt and Benny reunited, and attempted to destroy Megatron together. Combined, Benny and Mr. Bamt were shot with the Plasma energy chamber. The two plummeted down a chasm. Benny survived, but Mr. Bamt was heavily damaged. Mr. Bamt would use his binary bond to Benny to transfer his spark to Benny without his knowledge though. Benny soon fled to confront Tankorr. Nickbee discovered Mr. Bamt's fallen form, and announced his death to Megatron.
