Brain Drain device

The Brain Drain Device is a machine manufactured by Decepticon science, capable of draining away the intelligence of human beings, transmuting it into fuel-stuff to power Transformers. Once used, all those subjected to its power become irreversibly dull-witted. It also appears to affect its victims' memories. The device has a drawback; it is a complicated piece of machinery, and as such takes a long time to properly activate.
