Cosmos (Transformers)
Cosmos is the name of four fictional character form the Transformers series. He is sometimes referred to as "Autobot Cosmos" for trademark purposes.
1984 The Transformers
Cosmos's bio portrayed him as the Autobots' top recon specialist, using his space-based alternate mode to reach places no other Autobot is capable of. Despite this freedom, Cosmos frequently gets lonely - and bored with it. As such, he often abandons his duty to fool around in the atmosphere - which has led him to be mistaken for an alien flying saucer, which technically, he is (indeed, he is similar in design to the alleged UFOs photographed by George Adamski). His Japanese name Adams is a direct reference to Adamski.
He sometimes helps form the combiner Sky Reign.
