Britt
From Transformers Wiki
- Britt is a vampire from CVO: Covert Vampiric Operations.
In another universe, Britt was your run-of-the-mill former supermodel-turned-vampire soldier who was fighting a never-ending battle against the undead. Unfortunately, despite claiming to be undead already and thus hypothetically immune to the zombie virus, she nonetheless became infected herself. She now shepherds the spread of the "unlife curse" in four new universes.
She's gone covert as local lifeforms in at least one of these universes, so look out for her two very large, distinctive physical attributes to visually confirm her.
You know, her, uh, vampire teeth.

CVO: Covert Vampiric Operations
Britt was a field agent for Covert Vampiric Operations, a top-secret squad of vampires who are the line of defense against the supernatural. Unfortunately, during a sudden outbreak of zombies in CVO headquarters, Britt was bitten by a compelled Benny, their zombified head of research. She initially shrugged this off, as she was already undead, but the zombie Undermind had other plans. Now that she was both zombie and vampire, a bridge between two worlds, she would serve as a living conduit between universes. The Undermind took over her mind, made her a force for evil, and activated a portal to other four other universes, which aspects of Britt's being disappeared through. Her comatose body was left behind in her native universe. Infestation #1
Britt and the zombiefied robots and humans floated through space for hundreds of years until finally, Galvatron and his Seekers, Cyclonus, Scourge, and the Sweeps found them, frozen solid, near a dimensional anomaly. Galvatron ordered the Sweeps to bring the frozen mass of bodies on board. However, their new cargo came alive and began infecting the crew. The Transformers: Infestation #1
The Undermind gave Britt the power of altering the perception of others, and to Galvatron and the others, she appeared to them as Bayonet, a female Decepticon who could transform into an Earth helicopter. So strong were her powers of persuasion that anyone who saw her believed they had always known her to have been around. The Transformers: Infestation #2 While Galvatron, Scourge, and Cyclonus fought the zombie infestation aboard their spacecraft, Bayonet sabotaged the ship's engines, sending the Decepticons crashing into Earth.
As the zombie robots and humans spread into Las Vegas, Galvatron ordered Bayonet and the others to destroy any and all of the infected. As Galvatron had hoped, this ruckus had caught the attention of Optimus Prime, his Autobots, and Skywatch. When the Autobots refused to follow him without explanation, Galvatron marked them as enemies. Bayonet led the charge against the Autobots, repeating Galvatron's assertion that if the Autobots were not with them, they were against them. But when Galvatron was felled by three Skywatch inhibitor patches, Bayonet and the others were forced to surrender. As Galvatron explained better the situation they were in, Kup had grown increasingly paranoid (with the absence of his cy-gar), and he found holes in his story. Kup pointed at Bayonet, demanding to know where she had come from. He didn't remember any Decepticons by that name! Though increasingly erratic, Kup was correct. Bayonet impaled Kup through his chest with her fist and revealed herself as Britt, their true enemy, and the emissary of the Undermind. The Transformers: Infestation #1
The shocked Autobots and Decepticons began to fall under the spell of the Undermind, though their internal security systems fought it back as strongly as possible. However, they were only granted a reprieve when Kup, with Britt's arm still through his torso, managed to regain lucidity and blast himself away from her. Though this distraction bought the Autobots time to retreat, it was too late for Kup, and he became slave to Britt's contamination. Alone with him, she fed on the old Autobot's memory banks, which were immense, and with the knowledge she gleaned from him, she prepared to send the Undermind infestation through a portal back through time to Cybertron's better days, when it still teemed with life.
This plan would have worked, if Prowl hadn't previously installed a backdoor into Kup's mind. With direct access to him, Prowl was able to separate his mind from his infected body and instruct him to destroy the portal. Kup regained control just long enough to reconfigure the coordinates the portal was locked onto, and he sent both himself and Britt to the Dead Universe, where they would be trapped forever without anything alive for the Undermind to feed upon. The Transformers: Infestation #2
In Britt's native universe, the four avatars of her returned to her body. This allowed her to use knowledge and power from all four universes she visited to fight the CVO forces with ease and bring the Undermind into the universe. Cross, with help from Benny and Nikodemus, turned himself into another Vampire-Zombie hybrid like Britt, but retained his self-control. Using all of the remaining Artillica, Cross battled Britt and erased the Undermind from existence, rendering Britt comatose in the process. Infestation #2
Britt recovered from the experience and still worked with CVO when they encountered the beginnings of an invasion by the Elder Gods into the multiverse. A multi-eyed worm creature ended up in Cross Plains, Texas, and a team of Britt, Bools, and Cross were sent to investigate. When strange occurrences took place at other sites, Britt was sent to take care of the Gatherers at a Lovecraft convention before the people there were to be sacrificed to the Elder God known as the Traveler. While corresponding with Benny over radio, Britt realized that the Elder Gods were using the artillica within Cross as a conduit and that he would have to be killed if the situation escalated. Infestation 2 #1 Britt cleared out the convention and was brought to Texas, where Cross was. With his approval, Britt ripped out his artillica-heart and, despite hearing temptation from the Elder Gods, handed it over to Amanda Houellebecq. With the Relic and the heart, she was able to close the Gods' portal at the cost of her life. Cross survived, to the delight of the other members of CVO. Infestation 2 #2
Notes
- Britt is apparently her "codename". Is that a fancy way of saying "short for Brittney"?
- Britt (or copies of her) also invaded the Star Trek and Ghostbusters universes in their respective Infestation series. She was killed by Kirk in the Star Trek universe, but survived her encounter with the Ghostbusters, never directly battling them. She was never seen directly in the G.I. Joe universe but it is implied that she is more or less killed by Psyche-Out.
Foreign names
- Japanese: Britt (ブリット Buritto), Bayonet (バヨネット Bayonetto)
