'''''Transformers: Alternity''''' is a toyline started by [[TakaraTomy]] in 2009. It is the successor to the ''[[Alternators|Binaltech]]'' toyline. It features [[licensed vehicle alternate modes]] in its toys, as well as a mixture of plastic and [[die-cast]] metal. Toys are scaled down from their previous ''Binaltech''/''Alternators'' proportions, now being 1:32 scale rather than 1:24, and roughly equivalent in size to the mainline "deluxe" [[size class]].

==Fiction==
Like ''Binaltech'', ''Alternity''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s continuity is established by pack-in fiction.

Squadron X

:''Squadron X is a team of [[Decepticon]]s from the [[IDW Generation 1 continuity|IDW]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

[[Image:LastStandoftheWreckers4-SquadronX.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Out-fanwank this, [[Jim Sorenson]]. We dare you.]]
For a time, '''Squadron X''' was the Decepticons' answer to the [[Wreckers]]. While the Wreckers used their unique sense of bravado and brutality to right wrongs, Squadron X left a wake of indiscriminate corpses. As such, the Wreckers' leader, [[Impactor]], was obsessed with tracking them down and ending them.

Their roster included:
*[[Macabre]] (probable leader)
*[[Tornado]]
*[[Fang]]
*[[Earthquake (G1)|Earthquake]]
*[[Triton]]
*[[Ferak]]
*[[Crosscut (Decepticon)|Crosscut]]

==Fiction==
===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
As the story goes...

The final showdown between Squadron X and the Wreckers occurred on [[Pova]]. Both sides were evenly matched, in both the skies and the trenches, until [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] was trapped under rubble. As Macabre, Tornado, and Earthquake advanced, Impactor surprised Squadron X by firing through Springer's torso at them. This desperate gambit worked, the tide was turned, and Squadron X was rounded up for transport.

Unfortunately, Squadron X broke free of their inhibitor harnesses. Impactor, realizing that their rivalry with Squadron X could never end with them in containment, ordered the Wreckers to take them out permanently. Squadron X ceased to be, subsequently.

But that's just for [[Ironfist|the public]]. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 4|Last Stand of the Wreckers #4}}

In reality, the Autobots had signed a treaty with Pova that gave them no jurisdiction on the world, and to avoid a political incident Impactor was ordered to let the prisoners go. Rather than do this, he locked himself in cell with them and murdered them all while all the other Wreckers bar Springer did nothing. For this, Impactor was sent to [[Garrus-9]] and condemned as "the Autobot who went too far". {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Last Stand of the Wreckers #5}}

===Animated===

During the [[Great War (Animated)|Great War]], Squadron X was defeated at Pova. It is unknown if the Wreckers were involved.{{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac Volume 2}}

==Notes==
* In the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Wreckers' comic series of origin]], their opposing team was the [[Mayhem Attack Squad]].
* Squadron X's roster is composed of many of the named minor Decepticon non-toy character from the original [[Marvel Comics]] run.
* Colorist [[Josh Burcham]] has admitted using the [http://s90690880.onlinehome.us/jhiaxus/ Obscure Transformers Website] as a reference for the characters' color schemes... except for [[Crosscut (Decepticon)|Crosscut]], whose colors he made up since the character was never given a color scheme in his original Marvel appearance.
