- The Chop Shop was introduced on February 18, 2010 as the first non-cash generating property in New York / Manhattan. In order to build the Chop Shop, 50 items (10 Cement Blocks, 10 Power Tools, 10 Car Lift, 10 Acetylene Torch, and 10 Shipping Containers) are required.

Easily the sneakiest of the Insecticons, Chopshop prides himself on his subtle talents. For Chop Shop, no challenge is too great; the more difficult something is to steal, the more he wants to steal it. Once he targets an object, it's as good as gone.

- Are you missing a few energon chips? Wasn't there a photon rectifier on that table a minute ago? Hey, has anyone seen my Action Master partner recently? And where the heck did our new transwarp cruiser go?! If it's not nailed, screwed, bolted, and nano-fused to the ground, chances are good Chop Shop stole it while you were reading this. The other Decepticons and his fellow Insecticons are well aware of Chop Shop's skill as a master thief, but they have no idea just how deep the compulsion goes. Chop Shop is a closet kleptomaniac, compelled to steal — not just from the Autobots, but also from his allies and even from himself! The more difficult it is to steal something, the more Chop Shop feels compelled to rise to the challenge. No piece of equipment or valuable item in Decepticon HQ is safe when he's around. So far, he's been quick-witted enough to cover his own tracks, but how long his luck holds out, and what his comrades will do when they realize just who's been robbing them blind, is anyone's guess.

Easily the sneakiest of the Insecticons, Chopshop prides himself on his subtle talents. For Chop Shop, no challenge is too great; the more difficult something is to steal, the more he wants to steal it. Once he targets an object, it's as good as gone. And once he has it he will disassemble and reshape it with the consummate skill of a brain surgeon to fit it to Decepticon needs. Considering his formidable skill and experience, more often than not he's completely successful. As a robot, Chop Shop has phenomenal physical dexterity, and his powers of prestidigitation are stupendous. He defends himself expertly with a telescoping power-spear which he can electrify to stun opponents if needed. As a backup, he carries a high-powered photon cannon which can blind as well as blast opponents, and is quite adept at martial arts, although he prefers to get in and out without being seen rather than risk a confrontation. As insect, he can fly in near silence up to 30 mph with two small jets on his back. His range is 250 miles. In this mode, his pincer-like antennae can slice through 2-inch thick vanadium-steel plate. He can also use twin pinpoint lasers that protrude from his mouth assembly to carve up objects that require more precision. He can lift up to 30 tons with his six clawed legs, even while insect-size. He can operate as an insect at either insect or normal size. Chop Shop is motivated by the thrill of danger more than Decepticon ideology. It's often rather difficult to get him to use his skill for anything other than excitement and personal gain. Skilled and smart, Chop Shop prefers to rely on intelligence and stealth to achieve his goals; if he's somehow cornered, his lack of a speedy altmode can make escape rather difficult. His tremendous ego sometimes leads him to taking on a challenge that is too great for him, resulting in his eventual defeat. Frequent mechanical breakdowns in his legs are a result of his carrying off heavy objects during his burglary operations. The threat of capture, however, only increases his enjoyment of the caper.
