Arex is a Federation-aligned alien from Star Trek.
The Ramans do everything in threes.

Arex is an officer who serves as part of the crew aboard USS Enterprise; on the command track, he is sometimes trusted to take charge of the vessel in the captain's absence. Unlike the apparent majority of his fellow officers, he has three arms and three legs.

Fiction

Star Trek vs. Transformers

[edit]

Arex was stationed on the bridge when the Enterprise arrived at Cygnus Seven in response to a distress call. When the ship was unable to contact the planet's surface, Captain Kirk took a team of officers down to the planet's surface to investigate, leaving Arex in charge. Arex was quick to contact Kirk once the interference with their communications was lifted, and subsequently carried out Kirk's command to fire a photon torpedo at the hostile robots on the planet.

Arex had the Enterprise follow the Decepticons, only to learn that they were sentient lifeforms. With that in mind, Arex opted to try for negotiation only for Trypticon, now transformed into a Klingon warbird, to cripple the Enterprise. Arex tried to contact Spock but failed to make contact on account of Soundwave jamming the transmission. Prime's Directive, Part Two Stranded in space, Arex and Nyota Uhura desperately tried to reestablish contact... until they were hailed by a copy of the Enterprise rising up from the planet below—in reality, the recently revived Fortress Tiberius, who had scanned and duplicated the starship as a new alternate mode. Kirk beamed Spock, Optimus Prime, and the other heroes into the real Enterprise, and Arex ceded command of the bridge to Spock. Prime's Directive, Part Four

Tripodeca?

In pursuit of Starscream, who intended to conquer the Klingon homeworld with a load of stolen dilithium, Arex was one of the crew members who received a custom-built mechanical suit, a fusion of Starfleet and Cybertronian engineering, and joined the battle against Megatron's forces on the planet's surface. In the ensuing battle, however, his suit was immobilized by Soundwave's paralyzing frequency. Kuri's Klingons, however, were able to ambush the Decepticons and successfully imprison them, and the crew of the Enterprise remained on hand to ratify a temporary truce with their neighbors before they and the Autobots parted ways.
