The Battlechargers were sort of the Decepticon counterparts to the Autobot Jumpstarters Topspin and Twin Twist, and like them got no recognition in the cartoon at all. Their design--a pull-back-and-go chassis with a simple transforming "shell" on top--was shrunk down slightly and reused later on in the Throttlebots.
