Prior to the happenings of "Transformers: dark of The Moon", the Decepticons constructed a "brain unit" drone to receive a very important download. However, the Decepticons underestimated the independent thought capacity of their new member, and before long the drone rebelled, defected to the Autobots, and now calls himself "Brains." Despite his somewhat eccentric behaviour and mannerisms, he's essentially a nice guy, and gets along well with his fellow miniature Decepticon drone-turned-Autobot, Wheelie.
Having survived the Battle of Chicago (albeit losing a leg in the process), Brains found himself captured and forced into slavery by Joshua Joyce and KSI. Brains was put to work to help KSI engineer their own Transformers, performing mental "autopsy" on the fallen Decepticons gathered from Chicago. It was Brains who made the startling discovery that Megatron lived, and was manipulating KSI to build him a new body as Galvatron. However, Brains found his captors to unwilling to listen to him, as they regularly tortured him whenever he spoke out.
Brains' predicament finally came to an end when the Autobots stormed the KSI headquarters to avenge the recently slain Ratchet. Brains was freed by Hound, and was pleased to see Joyce silenced by the Autobots. To Brains' disappointment, however, Joyce informed Optimus Prime that they had technologically advanced past the Transformers, demoralizing the Autobot leader, who called a retreat. Brains later shared the truth about Galvatron and his plot to overthrow KSI with Cade Yeager and his family when the Autobots regrouped following another skirmish in Chicago. He, however, showed little care for the situation as he was now free and happily smelled some flowers.
