G1 Transformers
First debuting in the 3-part episode "The Ultimate Doom",  Dr. Arkeville, at some unknown point, made an allegiance to Megatron, who offered him a chance to rule the world in exchange of using his hypno-chips for the Decepticons to use it to turn humans into slaves. He & Megatron then welcomes Sparkplug Witwicky, who had been kidnapped by Laserbeak, to use him as a test subject, thus bringing him under the Decepticon control. As a means of demonstrating the plan, Megatron then sends a replica of Optimus Prime for Sparkplug to attack, which had been a huge success. At the space bridge site, Megatron then reveals his plan to send Cybertron to Earth orbit using the space bridge. Shocked, Dr. Arkeville protested that this plan of his will destroy Earth by creating natural disasters due to Cybertron's gravity only for collecting Energon, which will turn Earth into a barren wasteland. Megatron then claims its none of his business if Earth gets destroyed. After Spike manages to temporary lift his father's brainwashing, Dr. Arkeville saw this & recomputes the signal, thus placing Sparkplug under his control again. After finding out that Meagtron sends Skywarp to bring a brainwashed Sparkplug to Cybertron, he complained that he will lose control of his slaves if they are not on Earth, but Megatron then admist that he had a replica of Arkeville's computer on Cybertron for him not to worry. Upon realizing that Soundwave had disrupted his hypno-chips using his audio disruptor waves to distract the Autobots, he immediately fixed this but he needed more "materials" to modify this. Megatron contacts Dr. Arkeville, who is informed of the situation. After a few experimentations on Sparkplug, Dr. Arkeville is convinced & Megatron promises that he will have all the slaves they need to collect Energon for Cybertron. Dr. Arkeville then heard one of Megatron's other plans, to let the tidal waves slam into the generators to create large amounts of Energons. He then protested that this will kill all his slaves if this won't be stopped, only for the Decepticon leader to mock him in purpose. After an arguement between Megatron & Starscream, he told the doctor to stay away from the backstabbing Seeker. Dr. Arkeville then wonders if Starscream really is the ally he is looking for. Whether his decision is real or not, Starscream then rescues him after the Decepticon leader abandons him to drown with the rest of the slaves. The mad scientist attempts to produce Energon cubes for Starscream from his brain power, only to be rebuffed by the latter. They are then discovered by Megatron, who tries to execute them both. However Starscream escapes with Doctor Arkeville, thanks to the Autobots' tampering of the hypno-chips control on the human slaves, dsitracting Megatron & the Decepticons.
