One of the [[Titan (group)|Titans]], '''Iaconus''' (nicknamed "The Star Savior" and "The Moon Puncher") is a literal giant of legend. Unfortunately, Iaconus is also a War Titan. Conflict is a need for him, and it doesn't matter who it's with. Innocents and even his allies will find themselves becoming targets once this Titan has run out of enemies. Combine that with his massive arsenal of weapons, including a sword almost as big as he is, a shield that also serves as a blaster, and many, many, ''many'' missile arrays, Iaconus is a berserker who should best be left to slumber.

{{voiceactor|[[Ryan Andes]] (English)}}
During the [[Expansion|Age of Expansion]], Iaconus, like many other Titans, left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Counting [[Maccadam]] among his crew, Iaconus waged wars on several alien worlds before the Age of Expansion came to an end. The only War Titan to survive the violent epoch, Iaconus found himself unable to adjust to the peace and waged a war on his own kind upon his return to Cybertron. Iaconus' own crew managed to defeat him, though with tremendous casualties. Maccadam, the only survivor, buried Iaconus under what would one day become [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], using the Titan's cloaking device to keep him hidden away. Maccadam would pass the topmost level of Iaconus's inert form as [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]], using the Titan's internal facilities as a means of generating endless fuel for customers. {{storylink|The Citizen}} As an extra precaution, in case a [[cityspeaker]] ever tried to wake him, Maccadam left a special trap within the Titan's mind. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}}

The memory of Iaconus survived, with some postulating that Iacon had been named after him while others doubted that he had ever existed. Some cycles before the Autobots and Decepticons returned to Cybertron, [[Skullcruncher (Cyberverse)|Skullcruncher]] found his way into the depths of Iaconus. Maccadam let him stay to keep out the "riff-raff". {{storylink|The Citizen}}

After the [[Quintesson]]s invaded Cybertron, Iaconus' cloaking device prevented the invaders' scanners from locating him. {{storylink|The Dead End}} Maccadam invited the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s that remained safe haven within. Confused by this, [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] used his scanners to eventually locate Iaconus' mass beneath the city. {{storylink|The Sleeper}}

Intending to salvage and replicate Iaconus' cloaking module, the Autobots and Decepticons made their way deep into the Titan's bowels, where they found Maccadam waiting for them. Though Maccadam confirmed that Iaconus would eagerly take the fight to the Quintessons, he feared the damage that the giant's bloodlust would bring to Cybertron. Despite this, [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] made plans to awaken Iaconus. {{storylink|The Citizen}}

After [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] had been freed from the Loop, Hot Rod and [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] tried to have her awaken Iaconus to no avail. After the Cybertronians' plan to detonate a warhead by the Quintesson flagship failed, Windblade returned to the Titan's brain and tried again, managing to rouse the Titan's gargantuan arm, its size, and the quakes it caused, scaring away the Quintesson forces, only for Maccadam to extract her before the strain became too much for her to bear. {{storylink|The Alliance}}

After [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] revealed himself to be the new Quintesson [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] and recaptured the resistance, Windblade again tried to reawaken Iaconus, this time with Maccadam's full support. Managing to navigate around the traps, Windblade successfully roused the Titan from his slumber. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}} Reveling in causing random destruction, the War Titan only took to the fight when Windblade showed him Starscream. Before Iaconus reached the traitor, he was intercepted by a brainwashed [[Croaton]]. The two Titans came to blows with Iaconus' fighting experience quickly granting him the upper hand. Pressing his edge, Iaconus fired a sustained blast only for Croaton to deflect it, the beam atomizing Maccadam. Overcome with grief, Iaconus was briefly taken unawares by Croaton but quickly regained his footing and downed his foe. Before he could sever the Quintesson technology controlling his fellow Titan, Starscream doused Iaconus' head with [[Transwarp|unspace]] goo, killing the War Titan. Bereft of the head, the Titan's body reverted to city mode. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}}

After the Quintessons had been expelled from Cybertron and an uneasy truce drawn between the Autobots and the Decepticons, the Autobots set up their capital in Iaconus' city mode. {{storylink|Enemy Line}}

When [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]], himself another time-lost refugee from the Age of Expansion, was freed from [[Crystal City]], he questioned [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] about whether Iaconus was continuing his campaigns against alien worlds. Awkwardly, Bumblebee said that the Titan was now taking a break from such things. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}}

*'''Iaconus''' (Ultimate Class, [[2020]])
:Released as part of the second wave of Ultimate Class ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures]]'' figures, this Leader-sized Iaconus transforms from a very green robot into a city/battle tank. Like all Ultimate Class figures, Iaconus features limited articulation and has an energon armor gimmick. The toy itself is modeled after Iaconus without his equipment, while his armor is modeled after his in-show battle gear.
