:''Serpentor is alternately the leader of [[Cobra]] or the [[Decepticon]]s from the [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]]. He is sometimes known as '''Serpent O.R.''' or '''Serpentor Prime'''.''

'''Serpentor''' is a genetic amalgam of history's greatest warriors, bred into one mighty emperor who wears a hilarious snake-themed costume.

Don't laugh.

He'll throw a live snake through your heart.

==Fiction==
===''G.I. Joe and the Transformers''===
{{note|This story did not take place in Marvel Comics UK continuity, despite being reprinted in the UK book.}}
[[File:Serpentor.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|''This industry's venomous/ with cold-blooded sentiment/ No need for nervousness/ It's just a little turbulence.'']]

Serpentor was a man created by Cobra from the combined DNA of past military geniuses, clothed in a snake-themed costume. He looked for weaknesses in Cobra's leader at the time, [[Cobra Commander]], in order to usurp him. Cobra Commander began to seriously worry about his position when the [[Dreadnok]]s failed to take [[Power Station Alpha]]. Indeed, he was not seen thereafter. {{storylink|Blood on the Tracks}} Serpentor's plan to take Power Station Alpha met with greater success. As Serpentor complimented the [[Baroness]] on her high-society tastes, [[Doctor Mindbender]] had managed to wrest control of Power Station Alpha from the [[Decepticon]]s using an electronic helmet. With [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] trailing Power Station Alpha to [[Cobra Island]], Serpentor ordered his troops to fire on a nearby cruise ship to keep them occupied. Unfortunately for Serpentor, the cruise ship belonged to industrialist [[G.B. Blackrock]], friend of the [[Autobot]]s.

Serpentor's actions also caught the attention of the Decepticons, and Cobra was soon greeted by [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] and [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]], and an alliance was forged. {{storylink|Power Struggle}} Both sides had ulterior motives; Serpentor in particular planned to eventually wrest control of these intelligent machines and use them to Cobra's ends. (Meanwhile, Decepticon leader [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] mused at Serpentor's stupid-looking costume.) Serpentor agreed to send Cobra forces to battle the Decepticons' enemies, the Autobots, at the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. {{storylink|Ashes, Ashes...}}

It was quickly discovered that the Decepticons had doublecrossed them all with intentions to use Power Station Alpha to destroy Earth, and Serpentor was forced to team his Cobra troops with both G.I. Joe and the Autobots. However, the Autobots were concerned that Power Station Alpha may have been an intelligent being, an idea that Serpentor laughed at. It was just a machine, and it must be destroyed! Cobra took to the air in their various battlecraft, including Serpentor. When Power Station Alpha's destruction was assured, he ordered Cobra to fall back. {{storylink|...All Fall Down!}}

===''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers'' continuity===
{{quote|My womb displayed my name to be Serpent O. R. I am the son of Megatron, I am here to continue his work. I am the future bearer of the Matrix and, future ruler of Cybertron.|Serpent O. R. introduces himself.|[[The Art of War issue 2]]}}

The '''Serpent Organic Robot''', or '''Serpent O.R.''' for short, was created in secret by a rogue group in the U.S. military using captured [[Decepticon]] technology, including the remains of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. With the strategic knowledge of humanity's greatest warriors, bulletproof hide and the ability to use metallic "tentacles" either to fight or take control of machinery, he was to be the United States' ultimate weapon. After word of Serpent O.R.'s existence was leaked to [[Cobra]], [[Cobra Commander]] infiltrated [[Area 52 (G1)|Area 52]] and activated the android to use it for himself. However, Serpent O.R. accessed memories of when Megatron was kept as a slave by Cobra Commander, and tried to kill the commander and his cronies. He had a control mechanism placed on his neck by [[Zartan]], but it failed to affect the hunger for power given to Serpent O.R. by Megatron's programming. After knocking out the Cobras, Serpent O.R. entitled himself the "son of Megatron", donned his armor, and used [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]'s deactivated head to learn about the history of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 1|The Art of War #1}}

Serpent O.R. subsequently aimed to conquer Cybertron, and attacked a team of [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joes]] and [[Autobot]]s in his way. While he managed to take control of the [[G.I. Joe battle mech|humans' mechs]], his powers had no effect on [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] due to the Autobot's [[spark]]. He settled for using the mechs to distract the Autobots while he made his way to Area 52's [[warp gate]], easily brushing aside opposition from [[Scarlett]], [[Mainframe (G.I. Joe)|Mainframe]] and [[Firewall]]. After warping to Cybertron's [[Gladiator Zone]], rendering the warp gate unusable in the process, Serpent O.R. found [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] and [[Piranacon (G1)|Piranacon]] fighting over territories. Using his tentacles to calm the giants, he told them about his relation to Megatron and recruited them into his new Decepticon army. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 2|The Art of War #2}} After his army had grown to include the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], Serpent O.R. was chased down by the Autobots and Joes from Area 52, but calmly explained to them that his troops outnumbered, outgunned and surrounded them. He then crushed [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] with his tentacles, and was confused that he felt like something left the Autobot as he died.

After imprisoning the Joes and Autobots in the Decepticon headquarters, Serpent O.R. continued to recruit warriors for his cause and organized an attack on an Autobot peace ceremony. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3|The Art of War #3}} During the assault, he contacted [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] via a hologram of [[Reflector (G1)|Reflector]]'s, and explained his viewpoints that Autobots were meant to be the Decepticons' slaves during their conquest of the galaxy. Prime naturally didn't agree, but he still gave himself up to Serpent O.R. in exchange for the release of the captured Autobots and humans. While waiting for the Autobot leader to be brought in, Serpent O.R. visited [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]] in his cell, seeking answers to why he didn't feel anything about Bumblebee's death when all the Autobot's friends had been devastated. After enduring a series of ineffectual punches from [[Roadblock (G.I. Joe)|Roadblock]], the android was told that he had no emotions since he had nothing to fight for — he was merely a "glorified gun" built only for conquest. Serpent O.R. was enraged by Hawk's claims, but calmed down almost immediately and left to converse with Optimus Prime instead.

[[File:SerpentorPrime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|You've got the touch! This I command! Yeah!]]
In his control room, Serpent O.R. told Prime that he knew all about the [[Matrix of Leadership]] and that he felt he was a great enough leader to deserve its power. When the Autobot countered that nobody who snuffs out sparks like they mean nothing deserves the Matrix, Serpent O.R. admitted that he didn't understand sparks or souls, but that he ''would'' understand when the Matrix gave him a spark of his own. However, Optimus Prime was still unwilling to hand the artifact over, instead breaking out of his chains and attacking Serpent O.R. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 4|The Art of War #4}} While he was saved from Prime's assault by his loyal Decepticons, the damage done to Serpent O.R. somehow activated the device placed on him by Zartan much earlier. While he felt something was wrong, Serpent O.R. ignored it and stole the Matrix from the defeated Optimus Prime. The power of the Matrix changed him, enlarging and transforming his body into '''Serpentor Prime''', but also provided him with a soul and exposed his mind to the wonder of life and the error of his ways. Almost immediately, he put [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]]'s gun to his head, seeking to end the fighting and let someone more worthy have the Matrix by taking his own life. Unfortunately, that's when Cobra Commander made his move, using the device planted on Serpentor Prime to take control of his body from a control chair on Earth. What happened to Serpent O.R.'s consciousness when the commander took over is unknown, but his body was destroyed a while later when Hawk absorbed the power of the Matrix out of it. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 5|The Art of War #5}}

The United States government refused to acknowledge that they had authorized the creation of Serpent O.R., leading to Hawk leaving G.I. Joe. The Autobots also felt that they could no longer trust humans after they used Megatron's technology like that, and stopped working alongside them. {{storylink|Black Horizon, Part 1 of 2|Black Horizon, Part 1}}

Galvatron (AOE)

:''Galvatron is a Prototype from the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (franchise)|Age of Extinction]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''
{{spoiler|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|July 28}}
[[File:AOEGalvatron.jpg|thumb|right|355px|Pal, you picked the wrong car to terrorize.]]
The crowning achievement of [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated]], the man-made [[Transformer]] code-named '''Galvatron''' was originally intended for use in the United States military. Reverse-engineered from the scavenged body of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the drone adopted many of his features during its construction. However, Megatron's [[spark]] had not yet been extinguished, and before long he had seized this new body for himself. His lack of a true spark makes him almost invincible, as does his ability to split apart into a cloud of [[Transformium]] and avoid taking damage. With all of Megatron's memories and abilities, Galvatron conspires to turn KSI's technology against its creators and forge a new Decepticon army under his command.

{{voiceactor|[[Frank Welker]] (English)|[[Mario Arvizu]] (Latin American Spanish), [[Mario Bombardieri]] (Italian)}}
{{spoiler|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|July 28}}
Though believed dead, Megatron actually survived the battle of [[Chicago]] though he remained a non-functioning and immobile head. Megatron's head was collected by Joshua Joyce's KSI, and used to produce man-made Transformers. Learning of KSI and Cemetary Wind's alliance with [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] in order to obtain a Seed, Megatron silently bided his time until KSI finished creating a new body for him to inhabit, with which he plotted to rebel against KSI and take the Seed for himself to simultaneously wipe out millions of humans, and to announce his return. Only [[Brains]], who was forced into hard labor by KSI, knew Megatron lived, but was unwilling to share this information with his captors. The new body unit was dubbed "Galvatron", but thanks to its source coding being developed from Megatron, its body was twisted and very reminiscent of its source. This came to the chagrin of Joyce, who wanted the robot to have the friendlier appearance of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].

After the Autobots left KSI after an attempted raid, [[Harold Attinger]] ordered Galvatron deployed with [[Stinger (AOE)|Stinger]] to destroy Optimus. Upon activation, Galvatron pretended to obey KSI's remote control, but showed several signs of free will during the operation, including firing weapons unbidden. Galvatron separated Optimus from [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and the Autobots, attacking many civilians in his way. Galvatron soon came to fight Optimus in robot mode, and held his own against the Autobot leader. When Optimus declared Galvatron had no soul, he retorted that it left him without any fear in exchange. It was this verbal exchange that alerted Optimus to Galvatron's true nature, but before the fight could be resolved, Lockdown arrived and easily dispatched his prey. Galvatron was retrieved from the field by a furious Joyce, declaring Galvatron's signs of autonomy as critical flaws.

Brains revealed Galvatron's scheme to [[Cade Yeager]], who called Joyce and alerted him of the danger Galvatron posed should he obtain the Seed. Having ended his deal with Lockdown, Attinger handed over the Seed he'd received in exchange for Optimus. Though efforts were made to tighten security, Galvatron activated on his own, and breathed life into the other KSI Transformers, allowing them to rebel against their creators. However, Joyce was able to flee the facility from both Galvatron and the CIA with the Seed, attempting to rendezvous with the Autobots and Yeagers in Hong Kong. Galvatron ordered his new Decepticons to pursue Joyce, and his troops were able to shoot down the Autobot ship just as Joyce was about to hand over the Seed, causing the ship to crash in the nearby Wulong Valley, leaving only [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] and Bumblebee to protect the humans and the Seed. However, just as the two were about to be overwhelmed, the other Autobots returned with the [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot]]s in tow, quickly turning the tide of battle and slaying most of the Decepticons. Galvatron was only saved by the timely reappearance of [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]], whose attack drew Optimus's attention. With his plans temporarily stymied, Galvatron declared his rebirth and swore retribution against Prime as he left for parts unknown. {{storylink|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)}}

:Part of the second wave of ''Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, Galvatron transforms into a 2012 Freightliner Argosy. Given the impossible-to-recreate nature of his on screen transformation he is a ''complete'' shell-former, with his truck mode folding up solely along his back and calves. As with Evasion Optimus Prime, he has a different paint scheme than seen on his packaging, with less paint applications on his body and weapon. His truck mode is also a darkish grey, rather than the black seen in the movie footage. His cannon can either be held like a gun, or fitted on his hand in a way that appears as if it is coming out of his arm.

:Galvatron's package is the only packaging in the Age of Extinction toyline thus far that neglects to mention what his alternate mode is called. The only mention of Freightliner being involved with his alternate mode is mentioned in the tiny copyright information section of the box.

==Notes==
[[File:TF3concept-Galvatron-MassiveBlack.jpg|thumb|]]
*Concept art for Galvatron in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|''Dark of the Moon'']] was created by [[Massive Black]] artist [[Bruno 'Nox' Gore]]. Whether he was intended to be an upgraded Megatron or a separate character entirely is unknown. [http://www.ballisticpublishing.com/flipbook/mb_2/index.php].
*Interestingly (perhaps to avoid movie spoilers), the toy-bio for Galvatron on the Voyager packaging does not mention ''anything'' about Galvatron, but rather how the Autobots face new adversaries after the Battle of Chicago.
* ''Age of Extinction'' sees Frank Welker make his on-screen debut as the live-action incarnation of Megatron, having previously played the role in tie-in video games.
* Because of Joshua Joyce's original intent of making him a new version of Optimus Prime, Galvatron combines not only elements and characteristics of previous incarnations of Galvatron, but also those of the [[Optimus Prime clone]]. Whilst retaining characteristics of previous Galvatrons, this one in particular most resembles [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)| the ''Prime'' incarnation of Nemesis Prime]], having also been built by humans to use as a weapon, having the same or similar alternate mode as Optimus but in different colors, and having a huge amount of endurance (for Nemesis, it's due to being remote-controlled; for ''AOE'' Galvatron, it's because he is made of Transformium and has no spark).

:''Decepticon Miners are [[Decepticon]]s from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[Image:Tfprime_Miner_decepticon.jpg‎|thumb|400px|You talking to me?]]

'''Decepticon Miners''' are servant-class [[Decepticon]]s, working on [[Megatron (WFC)|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===
{{voiceactor|[[Kevin Michael Richardson]] (English)|[[Hikaru Hanada]] (Japanese)}}

In the three years [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] was wandering around space, the Decepticon Miners were constantly at work mining [[energon]] on [[Earth]]. After Megatron used [[Dark Energon]] to raise [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|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 (WFC)|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 (WFC)|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 (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], whose proclamation of Ratchet going too far stopped the latter from impaling the poor miner with his blade.

[[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] later told a miner about a [[Airachnid (Prime)|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 ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'' hold. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}}

Four miners accompanied [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] and an [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]] to recover a relic in the subways beneath [[Manhattan]]. They managed to find the device, but when [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] arrived, the miners were all dispatched by the Autobots. {{storylink|Tunnel Vision}}

Miners were used to excavate an Iacon relic and eventually dug up the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]]. {{storylink|Legacy}}

Some miners were in an energon mine that [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] blew up in an attempt to kill [[Predaking (Prime)|a giant metal dragon]]. {{storylink|Prey}}

{{spoiler|Rebellion (Prime)|May 12, 2013}}
A number of Insecticons arrived at an energon mine reported to be under attack, but encountered only confused miners. {{storylink|Rebellion (Prime)|Rebellion}}

==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]]" went so far as to verbally insult Ratchet before reacting with genuine pain at said torture, with Optimus stopping Ratchet from executing the Miner in a manner that seemed to imply they were more than just mass-produced units.

The '''Chaos Trinity''' was a trio of [[Transformer|Transformers]] who sought to control the dark forces of the universe and use them to their advantage. Though Cybertronian society accepted a degree of mysticism due to their [[Primus|divine]] origins, the Chaos Trinity dabbled in forbidden practices such as [[dark science]]. Their ambition and curiosity drove them to the point that they made a deal with an [[The Fallen|agent of darkness]] himself. Their members include:

After the disappearance of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] in a [[space bridge]] accident, the [[Autobot|Autobots]] and the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] fractured among various factions, and the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]] degenerated into one massive turf dispute.

When [[The Fallen]] arrived, {{Storylink|Fragmentation}} promising them great power in exchange for their service, he used them as his agents to spread chaos on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], forcing the factions to focus on each other. The Fallen then dispatched them to gather four specific Transformers with unique [[Spark|sparks]] that The Fallen would use to open the [[Seal of Primus]]. {{storylink|Escalation (Dreamwave)|Escalation}} The Chaos Trinity first struck when [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] and [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], their intended target, met in the [[Neutral Territories]] to discuss the inter-faction escalation. Bludgeon and Bugly quickly dispatched Shockwave, while Mindwipe placed Jetfire in a trance. They had expected [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], another target, to show, as they had sent information on their meeting to him, making it appear that Jetfire was defecting.
