General Order 66

General Order 66 was a contingency placed into the code of the Vehicon Horde by Eject. The order prevents the assimilated from spreading above 66 degrees of latitude from Cybertron's surface, where Iacon and the Builder Assembly were located.

Fiction

Beast Wars: Uprising

To keep some kind of a grip on the Vehicon virus, Eject had its creator, Galva Convoy, place General Order 66 into the virus's CNA sequencing. The few resistance cells in Cybertron's polar caps proved to be more than the Builders could handle, prompting the Builder Assembly to vote to rescind General Order 66. Though Eject managed to deter the first vote, the second motion passed in exchange for some tax credits favouring Knock Out. Once the order was no longer in place, droves of Vehicons swarmed to Iacon, ignoring any Resistance fighters they came across. Galva Convoy would use his now completely free troops to backstab the Assembly and fully kick off the Vehicon Apocalypse. Derailment

Notes

• The name is, of course, based on Order 66 from Star Wars.
