Frostferatu
From Transformers Wiki
You are feeling sleeeepy. You vill read allll of this page... What? Not hypnotized even a little? Tch.
A "mystical cupcake vampire," Frostferatu doesn't operate like your run-of-the-mill bloodsucker; one bite from him will send the systems of any other bot into overdrive, allowing him to infuse them with a shot of magic Energon and grant his target the ultimate sugar rush.
And that's where any actual resemblance to a vampire comes to a halt. For all Frostferatu wants to be a dread creature of the night, he's lacking. Oh, he's got the spooooky accent, and the sharp fashion sense, and a fondness for grandiose titles and general melodrama, but that's about it. He can't fly, and much as he wishes he could, he can't really hypnotise anyone. Not even the dumbest of BotBots are susceptible to his gaze.

Transformers Holiday Food Fight!
Disguised in his cupcake mode, Frostferatu was brought by Apeface for a Christmas get together at the Autobot's house. As Apeface ran to enter, he failed to see Spots the Rock in his path, tripping him and throwing Frostferatu into the face of Hound. Later Frostferatu was put on the dinner table with the rest of disguised BotBots. The BotBots secretly caused mischief, leading to a food fight to break out. As all the BotBots revealed themselves, Frostferatu transformed in Optimus Prime's hand, expressing how much fun he had. Everyone then posed for Clixx to take a group holiday picture, with Frostferatu sitting on Optimus' shoulder. War For Cybertron Holiday Dinner BotBots Mischief!
Lost Bots!
Frostferatu joined Dimlit's group of Lost Bots on a quest to find the true tribes they belonged to. He thought Sprinkles might be the place, until he scared the filling out of The Plop Father when he tried to bite him. Realizing he didn't fit there, he returned with the other Lost Bots to Lost and Found and realized it was right where he belonged. Lost Bots!

One of the Sugar Shocks, Frostferatu once had a run-in with Burgertron back when he was part of the Hunger Hubs. It didn't leave the burger with a high opinion of him. On the night of Ice-Cream-a-Palooza, Frostferatu wound up trapped in the fancy new vending machine, left wailing melodramatically for help. His cries were overheard by the Lost Bots, which now included Burgertron. Frostferatu tried using his "hypnotic" eyes to mesmerize the Lost Bots into freeing him, but it didn't work. Things got worse when Clogstopper informed everyone that Dave the flesh being had plans to eat a cupcake from the vending machine that night. Frostferatu watched as Burgertron and Bonz-Eye tried no less than fourteen times to smash their way into the vending machine, before suggesting they use the shiny discs the fleshlings used to operate the machine and get him out that way. This also did not work, thanks to Burgertron's impatience and bad aim. As Burgertron and Bonz-Eye scaled the inside of the machine, the flesh-being approached, only being stalled by the machine's refusal to accept his dollar. All seemed lost for Frosty, as the machine finally accepted Dave's dollar... and then he got stuck against the glass door. Dave's enraged response set off the vending machine's alarm, forcing him to trudge back to security to deactivate it, allowing Burgertron to dislodge Frostferatu. This nearly sent them plummeting to the ground, but Bonz-Eye rescued them. A jubilant Frostferatu praised his own hypnotism skills, which had clearly been the real hero of the day, but in gratitude offered up the spare invites to Ice-Cream-a-palooza he had on his person anyway. Alas, this was all for naught, as by the time all six BotBots reached it, the party was over forever. Escape from Snackatraz
When Burgertron and Kikmee sought to break-up Dimlit with his new girlfriend Jacqueline, they approached Frostferatu to use his amazing hypnotic powers to completely erase all romantic feelings from the torch's mind. Naturally, Frostferatu succeeded effortlessly, luring Dimlit into his gaze with a brilliant imitation of a helpless lost kitten, and then with his mission accomplished took off into the night. He definitely didn't fail to mesmerize Dimlit and then faceplant trying to fly away from the scene due to his inability to fly. Dimlit in Love
Along with the rest of the BotBots, Frostferatu attended the Ruckus Rally. Before the race began, he noticed the notoriously competitive Kikmee was not taking part, and inquired about this turn of events. He then watched the rest of the race in the stands. The Ruckus Rally He served as the celebratory cupcake for a party among his fellow BotBots, even letting a lit candle be placed in his topping, only for the "Crime Solvers" (aka the Lost Bots) to try and save him with a firehose. It didn't go well. Shortly after, he also bore witness to the trial of Burgertron, who had been accused of murdering fellow Sugar Shock Sprinkleberry D'uhnut, and dramatically fainted multiple times. Like, he even ran to make sure he was in the crowd's line-of-sight to dramatically faint at one point. Crime and Bun-ishment
Frostferatu attempted to use his "hypnotic" "powers" on a rage-roided Snorg, who had been overloaded by Bonz-Eye's negative-vibes scream-karaoke. One sonic shriek later and Frostferatu was running for his life. Rage Against the Karaoke Machine When a series of storefronts were taken over by the horrific Spector Halloween, every BotBot in the mall was terrified... except for Frostferatu, who was quite pleased with the development and didn't see the problem at all. Everyone then promptly ignored him. Spirit of Halloween
At one point, Frostferatu was simply playing see-saw with Burgertron, when Clogstopper hopped on the burger-bot's back, sending Frosty flying through the air and into one of the mall's fountains. Scanned Out He also attempted to help the Lost Bots out by performing a bot pyramid cheer routine with them, mostly because he loves pyramids. But even with the catastrophic ending to the routine, this pyramid was not sufficiently spooky for him, so he bailed. Agent Smartlit
Frostferatu joined his fellow Sugar Shocks in competing in the Goldrush Games, eager to prove they were the best squad in the mall. He participated in the Grip Strength Hanging Challenge, confident his bat-like vampire abilities would allow him to simply "stand" on the underside of the beam and hang there effortlessly. But as he completely lacked bat-like vampire abilities, he plummeted to the floor just as everyone but Clogstopper did. The Goldrush Games - Part the First With the Sugar Shocks out of the competition come the finals, Frostferatu returned to the stands to cheer on the following events. This also left him very free to dramatically faint when Spud Muffin declared the second-place Lost Bots had to be exiled to The Dark Side of the Mall as decreed by the "rules", and to dramatically faint again when Spud admitted that he was the one who got Burgertron lost in the first place so many months ago.
