Fiction
Of Masters and Mayhem
Suppressor was field commander of an Autobot outpost at Gargoid. The secret bunker was primarily designed to service the comings and goings of Punch, the Autobots' double agent and infiltration specialist. Suppressor was always suspicious about Punch's activities, but accepted his work because High Command insisted. This changed when a secret Autobot facility at Athenia was completely razed to the ground. A subspace transmission from Athenia showed Punch murdering an Autobot at the base before shutting down their entire defense system. Suppressor confronted Punch with the information and locked him in the brig when the spy could provide no explanation.
He was presumably killed when Counterpunch's squadron came to free him from the brig. The Truth We Make

Generations
- Cliffjumper & Suppressor (Legends Class, 2014)
- Series / Number: 02 / 019
- Part of the eighth wave of Transformers: Generations Thrilling 30 Legends Class product, Suppressor is a redeco of Generations Roller and as such transforms into a six-wheeled SUV, a robot with 3mm-compatible hands, and a weapon with a 5mm handle. He has a 5mm hole in vehicle mode and a 3mm hole in weapon mode for mounting the Ion Blaster.
- Not depicted in the instructions or stock photos, Suppressor can also attach to Legends Optimus Prime (or Nemesis Prime) in vehicle mode via two tabs on the vehicle front which slot into two corresponding slots on Prime's feet. Another undocumented feature is that the butt of the ion blaster can be inserted between the barrels of Suppressors's weapon mode to form a longer weapon.
- This mold was redecoed into Movie Advanced Series Silver Roller.
Notes
- Suppressor's shared bio information with Cliffjumper states that his "loyalties are murky." This is probably just an excuse for Cliffjumper to distrust him, but certain phrases are worded just vaguely enough to leave open the possibility that Cliffjumper is right for once and Suppressor is a genuine Decepticon spy. Either way, it might also be a nod to the Universe Decepticon Mini-Con of the same name, or even a homage to the G1 Mini-spies, since he's a small vehicle whose allegiance is dubious that comes packaged with an Autobot of the smallest class available at the time.
