'''Raksha'''<ref>Yes, that is her legal name.</ref> was a prominent figure in ''Transformers'' [[fandom]], circa the mid-1990s. She was controversial due to her opinions and actions supporting (her view of) the [[Decepticon]]s in the [[Generation 1 (cartoon)|original cartoon]] and intense dislike for later media, such as ''[[Beast Wars]]''.<br />
<br />
She organized [[BotCon 1995]], and created the [[Nightracer]] character.<br />

The time-traveling [[Antagony]] described herself as [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s doom, his destruction, and his worst enemy.<br />
<br />
Megatron naturally assumed this meant she was Raksha <small>(his worst enemy)</small> Antagony corrected this misunderstanding. {{storylink|Visitations|Visitations}}<br />

{{note|It is currently believed, based on various meta-textual elements from the "Visitations" script, that the Raksha Megatron refers to is the well-known Transformers fan, and not a heretofore-unseen [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] rival of Megatron. This is one of several examples of fourth-wall breaking in "Visitations".''<br />
A similar homage was written for the ''Beast Wars'' episode, "[[Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1)|Coming of the Fuzors]]", but she declined the honor.}}<br />

* In an interview on [[Kid Rhino]]'s [[Beast Machines]] DVD set, [[David Kaye]] mentioned an encounter with Raksha at a [[BotCon]] convention:<br />

{{quote|I didn't know it was such a huge deal. And there was one fan, she had a snake around her, I found out she was a big G1 fan and she didn't like the new series, and that's fine. But then I found out that, wow, some people ''really'' don't like what we do... ''huh''. It kinda deflates you but then you realize it's the fan thing, some people like it, some people don't, whatever.}}<br />
