:''Axiom Nexus is a city in the [[Transtech]] [[continuity]].''

[[Image:Axiomnexus.jpg|right|thumb|150px|A city "unlike any other in the [[multiverse]]," provided [[Alex Milne]] doesn't do any other cityscapes.]]
In one of the oldest dimensions in the [[multiverse]], one [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] city, '''Axiom Nexus''', is a hub for travelers from other dimensions. According to New Arrivals Coordinator [[Silverbolt (Transtech)|Silverbolt]], it is a city "unlike any other in the multiverse."

Some travelers arrive here by their own design. Others, however, arrive by accident, and must be processed and given [[identification bolt]]s.

===Fan Club ''Transcendent'' comics===
{{ongoing}}
The [[Caretaker]], a supercomputer created by [[Vector Sigma]], sent [[Breakaway]], [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]], and [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skyfall]] across dimensions to where a fourth member of their group was located. This destination was Axiom Nexus, where the trio were greeted by Silverbolt and Security Administration Officer [[Cheetor (Transtech)|Cheetor]]. While trio got an explanation of their location in the multiverse, they were escorted into a commons area to be "processed". There, they met [[Alpha Trion]], who began to introduce them to the outworlder culture of Axiom Nexus—but even as he guided them through their new digs, they were stalked and attacked by unknown assailants. Meanwhile, [[Jackpot]] and [[Hubcap]] ran from police. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 1}}

==Notes==
Transtech Silverbolt matter-of-factly proclaims that their particular Cybertron is "near the bottom of the multiversal stack," where "universes are very close together." Inter-dimensional transit is treated as totally mundane. Given those conditions, it is unclear exactly how any of these dimensions are distinguished from another, and what makes their relationship more one of "alternate dimensions" than of "different physical areas of one dimension."

:''Fractyl is a [[Predacon]] in [[Beast Wars]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] continuity''

[[Image:Fractyl bw.jpg|thumb|250px|Say, heard this joke the other cycle: "Why does a Decepticon wrap a Maximal in duct tape?"]]

From the moment he emerged from his [[stasis pod]], '''Fractyl''' has been more concerned with studying the strange planet's surplus [[Energon]] than battling [[Maximal]]s. Though [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] tries to force him to be a warrior, it's no use. Fractyl is an excellent geochemist but he is, more often than not, a liability in battle.

Despite his shortcomings, Fractyl tries hard to gain the respect and admiration of his fellow Predacons, often to the detriment of the team. It seems the only one among them who does so is [[Vice Grip]].

==Fiction==
===''Tales from the Beast Wars''===
====Ground Zero====
[[Image:Fractyl_critical_mass.jpg|left|thumb|Fractyl practices his end zone celebration by spiking the [[:Category:MacGuffins|MacGuffin]]]]

Fractyl discovered a new form of energy, which he named [[Furmanite]], and claimed that it could be used as an energon armor, shielding a Transformer from the effects of the Energon without the need of a beast mode. Instead of running more tests, he impulsively used it on himself, making sure it would work before presenting it to Megatron. Before he could bring it to Megatron, however, the Furmanite was stolen by the Maximal [[Packrat]].

Fractyl soon discovered Furmanite is actually anti-energon, a substance that could destroy the entire planet if it were exposed to high concentrations of energon. Fractyl risked both an encounter with the Maximals and the wrath of Megatron to catch Packrat before he went boom. He was able to reason with the Maximals and remove the Furmanite from Packrat, and even managed to make it look to the Predacons like he had driven off the Maximals single-handedly. Go, Fractyl. {{storylink|Ground Zero}}

====Visitations====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Doug Parker]] (English)

Fractyl and [[Vice Grip]] attacked Packrat and [[Onyx Primal]] as the two Maximals sought to recover a mysterious Plot Device, the Transfer Interlink. After being driven off when Maximal reinforcements arrived in the form of [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] and [[Rattrap]], the two decided to go get drunk on mech fluid.

{{note|No, really. It is called "Plot Device" in the story.}}

===''Universe: Featuring the Wreckers''===
[[Image:Fractyl_wreckers.jpg|thumb|Surprisingly it's NOT Fractyl that ends up there this time.]]

Having joined the [[Wreckers]] under circumstances so far untold, Fractyl tagged along with [[Primal Prime]], [[Hot Rod|Rodimus]] and [[Spittor]] to try and coax [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] out of her sulking emo phase deep in the caves of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], where she went shortly after the death of [[Daniel Witwicky]]. When the other Wreckers left frustrated and disappointed because Arcee wouldn't play with them, Fractyl stayed behind to talk, relating how he too had lost a good friend (presumably Vice Grip). He was then nearly killed by [[Blastcharge (BM)|Blastcharge]], but was saved by Arcee and the power of love (© Huey Lewis and the News). Fractyl later showed up in his shiny new body and paid Blastcharge back by slicing him in half. He used his new, jet-powered beast form to bring Arcee to the Wreckers' shuttle, which was already in the process of blasting off and leaving Cybertron.{{storylink|Departure}}

His victory was short-lived, though, as he was critically injured soon after by internal complications due to his new body-form during a fight with [[Devcon]] in the cargo hold of the Wreckers' shuttle. Fractyl and combat don't mix. With no medic on board, [[Apelinq]] created a drone called [[CatSCAN]] to fill in. Fractyl was put into stasis for several cycles.{{storylink|Betrayal}}

After the Wreckers re-entered Cybertron's atmosphere, an emergency evacuation forced the crew to pull Fractyl and Rotorbolt out of their stasis. Rotorbolt came out more or less recovered, but Fractyl was still unconscious and in critical condition. While Rotorbolt considered putting Fractyl out of his misery, Tigatron intervened by using the last of his Vok-derived abilities to heal him. Fractyl was then present later to witness the defeat of Cryotek and the sacrifice of Sentinel Maximus. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

==Toys==
===Beast Wars===
* '''Fractyl & Packrat''' (Multi-pack, 1997)

:Fractyl is a green, gray, and gold [[redeco]] of the original Basic-class [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]], transforming into a large, organic pterodactyl with a spring-loaded, one-step transformation to robot mode. His green plastic was given a sparkly sheen to simulate the "energon armor" effect from the accompanying comic book. He came packaged with [[Packrat]] and was sold exclusively at [[BotCon 1997]].

:The same mold was used for [[Hydra (BWN)|Hydra]], [[Lazorbeak]] and [[Terranotron (Dinobots)|Terranotron]].

===Unreleased===
[[Image:Fractyl_Catalog.jpg|thumb|Looking spiffy in the Wreckers catalog.]]
:Fractyl's [[Transmetal]] form was shown at [[BotCon 2001]] as a hand-painted prototype, made from a Transmetal [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]]. This version was ultimately never produced, either as a general release or as a convention exclusive.

:This mold was later [[redeco]]ed and slightly [[retool]]ed to make ''[[Beast Machines]]'' [[Terranotron (BM)|Terranotron]], and then redecoed and retooled ''differently'' to make ''[[Armada]]'' [[Terrorsaur (Armada)|Terrorsaur]]. The mold was also the base model for the non-toy character [[Ravenus]].
