Fictional biography
Created in the dark labs of the vile Headmaster scientist TOXIN, who created two clones from the rarely spoken "Leap Beginner" technology of Seibertronian past. Feeling these two units would make perfect security for him with his weakened state, PROTOTYPE X and PROJECT Z were born. Prototype X is the more silent of the two. He tends to keep to himself and rarely follows the orders of his creator. TOXIN one say worries that Prototype X might gain true sentience and defect to the Seibertrons. He favors his blaster over the gravity hammer Toxin issued him. Has a weakness to Seibertronian salt.

Prototype X appeared in the comic released for the 2013 TFcon, called "Lost World, Lost Mind". In the story the GoBits Roswell and Van Guardian are swept away against their will and meet Anarchy, Bullet, Decepticharge, Edge, Night-Bird, Project Z, Prototype X, Shield and Toxin.[5]
