'''Rheanimum''' is a rare gas that is mined on [[Tykos]], a moon of [[E'Brutoc]]. It improves the density and durability of metals by filling the gaps between molecules, strengthening the material to near-indestructibility. Handy stuff if you're made of metal. Behind the scenes, the fictitious Rhe<font color="#777788">a</font>ni<font color="#777788">m</font>um is possibly based on the rare high-density transition metal [http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhenium Rhenium].

[[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] led his newest warriors (the [[Laser Rod|Laser Rods]] and [[Rotor Force]]) to capture the rheanimum stores on Tykos, intending to use the plundered substance to render his army unstoppable. {{storylink|New Dawn|New Dawn}}

When the [[Swarm (G2)|Swarm]] attacked the combined [[Autobot]]-[[Decepticon]] forces on [[Earth]], the rheanimum was instead distributed among the allied Transformers, in hopes that its properties would render them invulnerable to the Swarm. It worked. However, in [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]' flagship in Earth orbit, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] refused the rheanimum offered to him by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]; in order for his desperate gamble to work, he ''needed'' to be consumed by the Swarm! {{storylink|A Rage in Heaven!|A Rage in Heaven!}}
