Nosecone is a genius-level mechanical engineer... when he can actually hold still to work on anything, that is. He doesn't so much think as simply do, rushing in the very instant he comes up with an idea instead of taking the time to plan or worry about the consequences. One wonders why he even has a drill alt mode, as the only thing fast enough for him would be explosives, and plenty of them. He combines with the other Technobots to form Computron when they can keep him in one place long enough to do so.
