Kaput is a medical officer stationed at the Kimia Facility, specializing in the study of sparks. He's small, has a bad eye and moves around on a wheel in robot mode. His bedside manner needs some work.

Early in the reign of Zeta Prime, Kaput of Teledonia Anomie worked at an Autobot medical center. Alongside Wheeljack, he oversaw the temporary redesign of Orion Pax for a difficult mission. Omega's Conundrum

When Ironfist's cerebro-sensitive bullet gun backfired in his face, he went to Kaput to get a prognosis on his injury. Kaput told him in no uncertain terms that he was going to die, probably soon, and there was no way to remove the bullet before then. And no one likes you. And you're stupid. Bullets

Kaput and Fixit repaired Springer after his battle with Overlord at Garrus-9, but even though they renovated his entire body he wouldn't wake up. They found that this was because of a zero point, a smaller-than-microscopical cavity that kept his spark from traveling through his body, but failed to locate it. Kaput later transferred the comatose Springer to Debris, where he told Roadbuster and Kup of his findings. Zero Point

At some point, Kaput worked with Brainstorm at the Kimia Facility. A World Misplaced

Later, Kaput showed up as one of the "Disappeared" on Necroworld, Some Other Cybertron where he repaired Anode's impalement wound before leaving in a hurry when Velocity got confrontational. Anomie

Before Nightbeat, Kaput also attempted to find a way to track whose sparks lit up the Necrobot's flowers. He finally found that Censere had a database that matched the flowers to the sparks. A World Misplaced

After Anode learned that her Conjunx Endura Lug hadn't actually travelled with her to the future, Kaput led her, Nautica, and Velocity to a spark-flower containing a fragment of Lug's residual spark energy. Anode, however, realized that she could use the spark and a fragment of sentio metallico to potentially return her partner back to life, and subsequently supervised the operation that resulted in the recreation of Lug's mind and body.

As Team Rodimus prepared to leave Necroworld, Kaput decided that he would stay on the planet with his new assistant Fangry, fascinated by the wealth of potential knowledge the Necrobot had left behind. Minimus Ambus requested his assistance after he discovered that he could no longer control his new suit of Magnus Armor, though Kaput couldn't figure out what was wrong.

After the Autobots had left, Kaput turned his attention to Tailgate, who was suffering increasingly destructive fits as a result of a trauma-induced spark mutation. After several days of study, Kaput devised an experimental procedure that would hopefully return Tailgate to normal: a sealed isolation chamber that would bombard the little Autobot's spark with neutronic radiation for six months. Just as Kaput finished lowering Tailgate into the chamber, however, Fangry, hoping to get his revenge on Tailgate, crept up on his erstwhile colleague and tore off his head, trapping Tailgate underground for another six million years.
