Fictional biography
Created in the dark labs of the 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 Z and PROJECT Z were born. With the failure of PROTOTYPE Z on a loyalty level, PROJECT Z is everything Toxin hoped for. Mindless, loyal, quick to action and violent when needed. He makes use of everything he was built with. Armed to the teeth with weapons, most Seibertrons would not want to mess with his bot in a dark alley. Weak to Seibertronian salt.
Comics
Project Z 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]
