'''Silas''', real name '''Leland Bishop''', is the stone-faced leader<ref>[[Raf's Notes]], [http://www.hubworld.com/prime-rafs-notes-entry13 entry #13]</ref> of [[MECH]], whose lethal obsession with [[Transformers|Cybertronian]] biology would border on insanity, if his iron-mask of absolute control didn't obscure the sinister conspiracy percolating within.

Proclaiming the desire for a ''new world order,'' Silas and his supporters systematically usurp Decepticon and Autobot agenda alike in the name of [[Crisscross|research]] and [[Operation: Breakdown|experimentation]] to further [[Project Chimera|Project Chimera]], the [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|product]] of their horrific campaign.

Expenditures be damned, Silas and the soldiers of MECH will exploit every crack in Cybertronian [[Starscream (Prime)|armor]] to insure their promise of chaos and terror...

Colonel Leland Bishop was once a member of Special Operations of the United States military. {{storylink|Nemesis Prime (episode)|Nemesis Prime}} Part of "special tactics", he was the architect of [[Project Damocles]], which ultimately caused his discharge from the armed forces. After leaving the military, he went rogue, adopting the codename Silas and becoming part of MECH. {{storylink|Grill}}

From his helicopter, Silas shot down [[William Fowler]]'s plane transporting the [[Dynamic Nuclear Generation System]]. Soon, Fowler was transporting the device aboard a [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|civilian trailer truck]]. Fowler evaded Silas's men, and when they attempted to open the trailer door, a [[Arcee (Prime)|motorcycle driver]] drove onto one of their cars, causing it to flip over and explode. The convoy passed through a train tunnel, and as it emerged, [[Vehicon (Prime)|mysterious purple planes]] fired on the [[trailer]]. Since there was no radiation emanating from the explosion, Silas realized Fowler must've transferred the device onto the train. Then Silas witnessed the civilian convoy and planes [[transformation|transform]] into robots, and a fight ensued. Silas was pleased to confirm the rumors of [[Transformer|living technology]] on [[Earth]], but flew off to retrieve the DNGS.

A [[Raf Esquivel|hacker]] caused the train to diverge onto a forked track, but Silas's pilot cut the connection. Silas prepared to land on the train as his men finished cutting open the appropriate car's roof, but retreated when he saw the truck robot on the move. He wasn't going to let the enemy leave with his prize, and so fired on the train tracks to cause a crash. The truck robot managed to stop the train, and from the safety of his helicopter, Silas watched his new enemy stare back. He privately congratulated the alien visitor, but noted MECH had the home advantage and vowed to level the playing field, even if it meant dissecting the robot. Silas then flew off. {{storylink|Convoy (episode)|Convoy}}

[[Image:OperationBreakdown-WeAreMECH.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlueAndOrangeMorality Blue and orange morality], blue and orange decor.]]
Silas had his men capture [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] during a battle on the [[Kamchatka Peninsula]], taking the captive 'Con to a makeshift base in a deserted railway tunnel so they could dismantle him in peace. He had one of Breakdown's eyes removed and converted into a two-way transmitter, leaving it somewhere obvious, so he could talk to Breakdown's rescuers, and was surprised when Optimus Prime came looking for the Decepticon. Though a bomb waylaid Prime's team, [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] broke into the tunnel and Silas retired to his helicopter outside, where he directed the MECH forces in an attempt to stop Bulkhead and Breakdown from escaping. He was forced to order a retreat when [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] arrived with Vehicons, however they had gained enough information from their examination of Breakdown that Silas could initiate [[Project Chimera]]. {{Storylink|Operation: Breakdown}}

[[Image:Crisscross-AirachnidSilas.jpg|thumb|right|250px|What a cute human... shame about the scars.]]
When MECH detected a Decepticon distress signal, Silas took a team to try to secure the Decepticon for MECH's use. Unfortunately it was bait, and [[Airachnid]] was the trap. Airachnid bargained with Silas — find [[Jack Darby]] and she would allow them to keep Arcee after she was done with her. Silas used MECH technology and the web to find information on Jack and had his mother [[June Darby]] kidnapped. Arcee and Jack were lured to a temporary MECH base in a factory. While Airachnid played with Jack, Silas, not believing the Decepticon would keep her part of the deal, ordered his men to extract Arcee's heart. Though the Autobot escaped before they could extract the part and Jack stole Silas's radio to contact Fowler, Silas at least got to witness Airachnid [[scanning]] a new alternate mode. {{storylink|Crisscross}}

[[Image:OperationBumblebee1 Bumblebee's operation.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
A MECH team led by Silas successfully lured in [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]], who was stunned by their equipment. While Silas kept an eye out for Bumblebee's partner, the [[MECH Surgeon]] procured a [[transformation cog|T-cog]] from the subject, and Silas called a retreat. They installed it into the robot they'd built as part of Project Chimera, but to Silas's disappointment, it failed to work. Starscream, who had followed them to their base, pointed out that they required Energon to power anything Cybertronian. Starscream proposed an alliance to allow them to find Energon for them to share, which Silas accepted on the condition that there be enough for the army they intended to build. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}}

After securing a supply of energon, they made another attempt to activate the robot, only for Bumblebee to attack the MECH base. Silas was knocked over during Bumblebee's assault, and instructed Starscream to collect the T-cog and meet them outside. When Starscream arrived without the cog, Silas had the MECH troopers ambush him and take his. {{Storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 2}}

MECH found the remains of Breakdown and reported their find to Silas. {{storylink|Crossfire}}

[[Image:NemesisPrime curtains for Silas.jpg|thumb|right|250px|We can fix him...we have the technology...]]
With the completion of [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|Nemesis Prime]], Silas attempted to use their experiment to bump off Agent Fowler. When this failed, he instead used it to attack [[Alden Military Base]] to turn the military against the Autobots. This inevitably drew the Autobots to their base, and Silas used Nemesis Prime to deal with them, but while he was using Nemesis to fight Optimus, Fowler infiltrated the base and attacked him. While Silas was distracted, Optimus defeated Nemesis Prime, the mech falling through the roof on top of Silas. Gravely injured, Silas was spirited away by MECH and hooked up to life support. While the Surgeon stated that nothing could be done for his body, Breakdown's body provided an alternative. {{storylink|Nemesis Prime (episode)|Nemesis Prime}}

Soon after the bungled operation in which MECH teamed with Airachnid, Silas set out to get his revenge on Jack, directing his men to blow up schools. This eventually succeeded in drawing out the boy and Silas encountered Jack while blowing up [[Franklin High School]]. Trapping him in flames, Silas headed for the roof to evacuate by helicopter, only for Jack to follow him via the fire escape and deliver a kick to his nether regions. After taking a moment to recover, Silas took advantage of the helicopter to leave Jack on the roof of the burning building. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.5|School Is... Out!}}

Silas was pleased when [[Novo|Agent Novo]] discovered a [[neuron refractor]] in China and retrieved the schematics. As a reward, Silas gave Novo the privilege of being the one to have their mind transferred into the results of [[Project Mechanoid]], but as the refractor was in danger of overload, Silas's callous disregard for Novo's life resulted in his subordinate rebelling. Despite Silas's attempt to regain control of the situation, he had to retreat and the facility was destroyed. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.9|The Novo Incident}}

Majin Zarak

2012-01-05T06:00:48Z

76.105.133.153: /* Beast Wars II cartoon */

:''Majin Zarak is a [[Decepticon]]/[[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] from the [[Beast Wars II (franchise)|Beast Wars II]] portion of the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Majinzarak robot.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Gonna mess you up...]]
'''Majin Zarak''' (マジンザラック ''Majin Zarakku'') is a vicious killing monster, feared by [[Maximal|Maximals]], Predacons and whatever else beholds his might. He feels no sympathy, he feels no remorse, he goes about killing as one would go about breathing. He thinks nothing of it. Majin Zarak’s origin is a mystery. He was created centuries ago only to vanish without a trace. Majin Zarak is an unstoppable force equated only to Armageddon; a masterpiece of war.

==Fiction==
===''Beast Wars II'' cartoon===
[[Image:Majinzarak vehicle.jpg|left|240px|thumb|...on land and sea and air!]]
When a mysterious space-time-warping device crash-landed on the Planet [[Gaea]], the [[Maximal|Maximals]], led by [[Lio Convoy]], and the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]], led by [[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]], raced to be the first to get it. The Predacons got there first and accidentally used its power to summon the mighty Majin Zarak from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s past to aid them in battle.

[[Image:BWII-Majin Zarak blast.jpg|250px|right|thumb| IMAFIREMUHLAZOR!!!]]
To counter the threat of the nigh-invincible Majin Zarak, the Maximals summoned [[Optimus Primal]] from the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]] of Prehistoric [[Earth]]. Majin Zarak had no trouble defeating the likes of the Maximals due to his massive size, virtual invulnerability and plethora of devastating attacks.

In the end, the Maximals discovered his weak-spot was the third eye on his forehead, which was where all his nerve-endings were clustered. Lio Convoy and Optimus Primal used the combined power of their individual [[Energon Matrix|Energon Matrices]] to transform themselves into Flash Lio Convoy and Burning Convoy. Together, they unleashed the power of their Matrices into a combined attack called the "Double Matrix Blast". The blast struck Majin Zarak in his third eye, killing him on the spot. {{storylink|Lio Convoy in Imminent Danger!}}

==Notes==
*''Majin'' is a Japanese word combining the kanji for ''mashō'', meaning "demonic", and ''jin'', meaning "race of people". "Majin" typically translates to "demon".
* [[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]] was, in fact, trying to find someone else with the time gate and only summoned Majin Zarak by accident when [[Megastorm]] fouled up the frequency calculations. The being they were actually looking for was Megatron, although [[Lio Convoy in Imminent Danger!|it is unclear]] whether they were after [[Megatron (BW)|''Beast Wars'' Megatron]] or [[Megatron (G1)|Generation 1 Megatron]]. In any case, Galvatron viewed Majin Zarak's appearance as a thoroughly happy accident, declaring that "we obtained a weapon superior to Megatron."
* Although there is no apparent connection, Majin Zarak shares part of his name with [[Zarak (disambiguation)|some other dudes called Zarak]], most of whom have something to do with [[Scorponok (G1)|the Headmaster Scorponok]].

Decepticon Miner

:''Decepticon Miners are servant-class [[Decepticon]] [[drones]] from the [[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Transformers: Prime]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[Image:TFWikiConMinerC.jpg|right|thumb|250px|]]

'''Decepticon Miners''' are servant-class [[Decepticon]]s, working on [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]'s various mining projects. As they are not warrior-class, the [[Autobot]]s do not kill them indiscriminately like they do [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]]. Despite this, Miners possess the same weapons as Vehicons and are capable of defending themselves and their work if necessary.

==Fiction==
===''Prime'' cartoon===
:''Voice actors:'' [[Kevin Michael Richardson]] (English)

[[Image:Tfprime_Miner_decepticon.jpg‎ |left|thumb|200px|Thats "Miners" you idiot not "Minors" ]]
In the three years [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] was wandering around space, the Decepticon Miners were constantly at work mining [[energon (fuel)|energon]] on [[Earth]]. After Megatron used [[Dark Energon]] to raise [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]], the zombified Autobot trashed a couple of Miners. The Autobots detected Cliffjumper's life signal and invaded the mine, encountering heavy resistance from the Miners as they did so. Though some of the Miners even used drills as offensive weapons, the Autobots destroyed pretty much all of them in their search and the mine was destroyed by [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}}

A Decepticon Miner was working on a large drilling machine to help harvest energon on Earth, along with some [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicon]]s. However, a [[Synthetic Energon]]-enhanced [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] led an unexpected assault on the group, to which the Decepticon Miner responded by climbing up a cliff in front of his machine. Ratchet easily followed and incapacitated him with a large boulder, then proceeded to interrogate the miner. Despite trying to act tough with his "potty mouth", Ratchet simply used his blowtorch to torment the answers out of him. It worked. His cries for help, caused by Ratchet's aggressive act of burning the right side of his face, brought the attention of the other Autobots to his location and he was saved by [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], whose proclamation of Ratchet going too far stopped the latter from impaling the poor miner with his blade.

Breakdown later told a miner about a [[Airachnid|Decepticon spider]] that he liked. The miner was presumably destroyed when Ratchet kicked the living daylights out of Breakdown. More miners were destroyed when the Autobots came to rescue Ratchet. {{storylink|Stronger, Faster}}

After Dark Energon began spewing from a volcano, the miners were set to work gathering it up and storing it in the ''[[Nemesis (Prime)|Nemesis]]'' hold. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}}

==Notes==
*Decepticon Miners have a similar appearance to the Vehicons, but are a light shade of purple, have different kibble, and have dual optical bands on their faces, unlike the Vehicons' single triangular ones.
*Like Vehicons, despite being referred to as drones, Miners do actually appear to be sentient to some degree. In particular, the Miner whom Ratchet tortured for information in "[[Stronger, Faster]]" going so far as to verbally insult Ratchet, before reacting with genuine pain at said torture, as well as Optimus stopping Ratchet from executing the Miner in a manner that seemed to imply they were more than simply just mass-produced units.

'''Jerry Wang''' used to work for [[NASA]] but became an employee at [[Accuretta Systems]]. He is a complete nutjob.

{{Quote|I'm Wang. Deep Wang. Deep Wang.|Jerry introduces himself to Sam|[[Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]}}

==Fiction==
===''Dark of the Moon'' film===
:''Actor:'' [[Ken Jeong]] (English), [[Eduardo Garza]] (Latin-American spanish dub)

Jerry was an employee at NASA who was blackmailed by [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]] into becoming a Decepticon agent and doing their dirty work. One of these deeds included sabotaging satellites to conceal the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] on the dark side of the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. He quit NASA and went to work at Accuretta Systems to try and escape but was eventually found again by Laserbeak. Jerry began to lose his sanity and behave strangely, getting up in other employee's faces (even the bosses) and generally disrupting the office environment.

One day, a new employee named [[Sam Witwicky]] came in. Jerry immediately recognized him from his appearance in photos from [[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Egypt]] and began to follow him until they were alone in the elevator, where he attacked Sam, stole his jacket and forced him into a tight spot. He then pulled out NASA documents on [[Apollo 11]]'s mission to the Moon as well as documents of various NASA employees in an attempt to clue Sam in on a conspiracy concerning the lunar race and the Decepticons.

After being tortured by an evil and suspicious Decepticon computer some time later, Sam passed by and tried to talk to Wang about the paper documents he gave him, but as he was being heavily monitored, he drove him away. Realizing that Jerry was giving away secrets, Laserbeak transformed in front of Jerry and tormented him. Jerry begged Laserbeak to spare him, but Laserbeak informed Jerry of his outlived usefulness and that he was to be "suicided". Jerry had other ideas, however, and pulled two guns out at Laserbeak. Despite this tactic of intimidation, Jerry was no match for the predatory bird-bot, who knocked him back into his chair and shoved him through one of the building's many glass windows, sending him plummeting to his splattery [[death]]. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} Ha,wang means penis!

An example of [[:Category:Cybertronic wildlife|Cybertronian wildlife]] re-engineered to serve [[Transformer]]s, '''Laserbeak''' serves the Decepticons primarily as a scout and spy for [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]. But that doesn't mean he isn't capable of other tasks, such as hunting down targets for capture, be they [[human]] or [[Autobot]].<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/characters/laserbeak Vector Sigma database at Hasbro.com]</ref>
Perhaps the most useful of his abilities is to transform into almost any type of alt-mode, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|even those who aren't alt-modes]].

{{cleanup|July 2011|Entirely lacking in the background of how he and Soundwave had formed these alliances decades ago.}}

{{spoiler|Dark of the Moon (film)|July 29, 2011}}

Laserbeak showed up at Chernobyl and intimidated [[Alexi Voskhod]] when he was about to say too much about their mission. Later, after Shockwave and Driller battled Optimus Prime and Ratchet with NEST soldiers commanded by William Lennox, Laserbeak killed Voskhod when he tried driving away in his white limo.

Laserbeak later showed up at Africa with Soundwave, where Starscream, Megatron, and Igor were all in a secret base to report the success of the Chernobyl mission. He was then ordered to kill all of the human collaborators of the Decepticons. During one of his attacks, he shape-shifted into a small pink version of Bumblebee, an even more advanced skill than scanning a vehicle to transform into. He then met a little girl, who presumably mistook him as the friendly robot. When her parents came in, Laserbeak transformed into his normal self and presumably killed the entire family.

He threatened [[Jerry Wang]]'s life for information concerning Sam Witwicky, which made Jerry act extremely bizarre in front of Sam. Despite doing what Laserbeak ordered him to do, the sadistic Decepticon "suicided him", as ordered by his superiors, by swinging him out the window, sending him falling out of the skyscraper Sam was working in. Laserbeak then chased Sam, but he managed to escape.

When Sam was sent by [[Robert Epps]] to coerce the traitor and Decepticon supporter [[Dylan Gould]] into releasing [[Carly Brooks-Spencer]], Laserbeak transformed out of his television mode and grabbed Sam with his talons and threw him out of the window, where Sam was saved by Bumblebee and his newly acquired Decepticon fighter. Laserbeak struggled with Sam on top of the fighter after Carly escaped, where Sam managed to hold Laserbeak's head in front of one of the fighter's guns and had Bumblebee fire, decapitating and killing Laserbeak. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

Laserbeak, in disguise as an office copy machine, got upset when he jammed because the office workers failed to use the good paper. He transformed and shot the place up until a woman went and got Double A paper. He then went back to making copies. {{storylink|Commercial/Dark of the Moon|Double A transforming paper}}

Laserbeak played a vital role during Soundwave's mission to a former [[Sector Seven]] data archive. While Soundwave was able to fight his way to the base, he was unable to break in and so launched Laserbeak to infiltrate it instead.

Armed with a machine gun, the small but vicious Decepticon could not last long in an all-out firefight with the Autobots inside, so it had to rely on stealth. Using its abilities to take the form of holographic items and fixtures within the base, Laserbeak was able to ambush and slay numerous Autobots as it sought a way to allow Soundwave entry.

Throughout the course of this operation, Laserbeak encountered numerous defense drones, autoturrets and Autobots. It also learned that the base, while still containing useful data, was now used as a workshop by the Autobot scientist [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]]. Worse, Wheeljack was working with human scientists to develop [[MechTech]] weaponry.

Realising the threat, Soundwave now changed objectives from data retrieval to outright destruction. As the base was built in a volcano in order to take advantage of geothermal energy, he had Laserbeak damage several of the seismic dampeners that prevented the volcano from erupting. Laserbeak also managed to hack the gates, finally allowing Soundwave to enter the base personally and complete both objectives.

As the base was consumed in flames, Laserbeak flew overhead before landing on its master's arm, screeching in victory. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)}}

:''[[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Laserbeak transforms from a VTOL aircraft (similar to the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] Sigma 6'' Dragonhawk vehicle) to a Cybertronian bird/dragon thing. There are several MechTech weapon holes all over, on top and bottom of both wings, the bottom of both feet, and above and below the cockpit in vehicle mode with a total of 8. The two weapons included have Gatling-style barrels, with one gun being static while the other has a MechTech swapping feature, where the barrel swings around to reveal a second, different cannon barrel. The static gun can plug into the back of the MechTech gun to create a giant cannon. Both guns also include a [[C joint]] bar on top. The beast mode's mouth can open, and the heels on both feet are actually 5mm pegs. This allows the toy to perch on the arm of any toy with compatible holes in the arms or hands. The cockpit of the vehicle mode has a stylized bird head painted on both sides.

:The instructions show a different head than the final toy, with a more realistic looking bird head. Some of the paint applications shown on the packaging, including the ones on the weapons, were left off on the actual toy.
