Who knows what evil lurks in the sparks of bots? The shadow knows!

Fiction

Japanese Animated cartoon

The cloaked mystery villain appeared hovering in front of the Earth, arms stretched out, no doubt plotting villainy on a global scale. Its allegiance or methods unknown, it probably wasn't friends with the Autobots. Animated title sequence (Japan)

Ask Vector Prime

Vector Prime was asked who the mysterious figure was. He was confused by the question and failed to provide an answer. Ask Vector Prime, The AllSpark Almanac II

Legends comic

The nameless villain was among the evil Kreons summoned by Megatron to conquer the Legends World. Special Chapter

Notes

• Just what the hell is up with this guy? Who is he? He could conceivably be an obtuse representation of Megatron, given that Megatron shows up later in the title sequence as a gigantic black silhouette with red flames spewing all about, but the build and the head of the cloaked mystery villain are entirely different from Megatron's. It's quite possible he may just be a poetic personification of Evil incarnate, too. We may never know. (And neither will you.)
  • Years later, cosmic warlord Shokaract was depicted in the same characteristic pose and style. Legacy
• The Kreon incarnation of the villain wears the Bumblebee helmet and a cloak (of course).
