Empirion

The Empirion is a starship from the 2005 IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Empirion (or Emperion) is a Decepticon D.V.X.-class heavy transport commanded by Bludgeon during his time as a Titan Hunter. It's equipped with quantum generators and enough weaponry to level a city from orbit.

Fiction

2005 IDW continuity

Bludgeon's team of Titan Hunters used the Empirion to search for Metroplex, at one point destroying a Nibarian outpost in the process. After crew member Thundercracker found a clue to the Titan's location, they quantum jumped to a planetoid inhabited by Urtuskians and proceeded to bombard their settlement from orbit just to get it out of the way. This prompted a team of Autobots led by Bumblebee to intervene and ram their shuttle into the Empirion, crippling the vessel and sending it crashing towards the ground. Bludgeon abandoned ship with a couple of subordinates, but not before ordering his crew of Guardminders to stay behind and keep firing until the end. The Hunting Party

Notes

• The ship's name is spelled both Empirion and Emperion in "The Hunting Party", and the intended correct spelling of the name is unclear.
