Professor Zayton Honeycutt was a Neutrino scientist, who worked for the Utrom warlord Quanin - and later his son Krang - to construct new weapons.  Honeycutt had developed the Simulated Anthropomorphic Life form ("SAL"), which eventually becomes his new body, as a research robot in a side project, an android controlled via an neural interface system that had the ability to take on other outward forms, and was extremely durable to boot.
