'''General Cicadacon''' is a member of the [[Tripredacus Council]].

A Predacon Elder, the cruel and clever '''Cicadacon''' is suspected of being very old, indeed. His knowledge of Cybertronian history, especially military history and tactics, is encyclopedic, stretching back even to the era before the [[Great War]]. Some suspect he may have once had a [[Decepticon]] identity, but if this is true, no records of that identity survive. Regardless of the truth of his origin, Cicadacon uses the stories and rumors to engender fear and respect in his followers. Despite his tactical genius, Cicadacon's long-term strategy against the Maximals has become increasingly unpopular with the more [[Megatron (BW)|impatient]] [[Galvatron (BWII)|Predacon]] [[Magmatron|forces]].

He uses chopping rotor blades to spread plague-like destruction and combines with his fellow council members to form [[Tripredacus]].
