The Terrorcons are a special class of Decepticons. Though some are fully sentient Transformers, the majority are little more than expendable, mass-produced drones. Terrorcon altmodes generally take the form of robotic beasts.

The Terrorcons of the Energon Battles have an unusual ability, shared with the Omnicons, to handle and process raw energon, from which they can create energon weapons or power-booster cells known as Energon stars.

Fiction

[edit]

Energon comic

[edit]

Following the end of the Autobot/Decepticon war, Scorponok organized the Terrorcons as a neo-Decepticon faction bent on restarting the great war. Scorponok made a deal with Alpha Quintesson, in which the group would help the Quintesson to achieve its ends in exchange for Hyper Power abilities drawn from Unicron himself. This Evil Reborn The Terrorcons were sent to Earth, to plunder its reserves of energon, but Scorponok decided to take the energon for himself and give Unicron the leftovers. What Lies Beneath, Part Two The Terrorcons initially dominated their fight with the Autobots who came to stop them, until sabotage from Rad made Scorponok break off in a panic. What Lies Beneath, Part Three In their second fight, the Terrorcons were overwhelmed by the Omnicons and their energon manipulating powers, only being saved from defeat by Alpha Quintesson and the Four Horsemen forcibly retrieving them. What Lies Beneath, Part Four

After Tidal Wave was sent by Scorponok to retrieve a Seismic-shock warhead and failed, Aftershock he was viciously beaten by the Terrorcon leader and cast out. However, he was approached by Alpha Quintesson, who had already been aware of Scorponok's self-serving nature, and reformatted into Mirage. Multiplicity, Pt. 2

Battle Ravage, Cruellock, Divebomb, and Insecticon were later used as the basis for a massive army of clones, a million strong, which Alpha Quintesson unleashed on Earth as a warning against allying with the Autobots. Multiplicity A small force of Autobots (and Thrust) attempted to fight the clones, but the sheer number began to wear on their fuel reserves. Multiplicity, Pt. 3 Salvation came in the form of a newly restored Megatron, venting his rage at spending ten years imprisoned inside Unicron on the clones. Faced with this, they opted to retreat. Multiplicity, Pt. 4

Cartoon continuity

[edit]

Energon cartoon

[edit]

The Terrorcons were created out of Unicron's body by Alpha Q; they were the reconstituted form of Planet Q's soldier army, consumed by Unicron. They served as his near-mindless agents of energon collection, gathering more of the magical substance to help repair Unicron. Their natural instinct was to rush headlong, en masse, toward any source of the substance (the human Kicker once used the Terrorcons' energon-sensing capabilities to help locate an energon vein in a mine.) In the early stages of the energon war, the Terrorcons consisted of bird and puma types. Alpha Q eventually devised two additional breeds, the dinosaur and beetle versions.

Scorponok displayed an unusual affinity for the Terrorcons, and generally served as their leader. When he was reprogrammed to serve Megatron, many of the Terrorcons likewise came with him. On at least one occasion, they displayed their loyalty by defending and healing their injured leader.

A handful of Terrorcons displayed the ability to speak.<ref>The Terrorcons' speech abilities are a strange artifact of Energon's dubbing. In Super Link, none of them ever speak.</ref> Energon cartoon

Ask Vector Prime

[edit]

Vector Prime noted that the Terrorcons of Aurex 802.23 Alpha were semi-sparked minions of Quintessons, similar to the Sharkticons and Allicons of the Primax cluster. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/04

Battle Ravage
Scorponok
Like their counterparts the Omnicons, the Terrorcons were sold carded at the $7 price point. They transform into mechanical beasts, following an angular, blocky aesthetic more rooted in the style of Generation 1's beasts than the organic styles of more recent toylines. Each comes with an "Energon weapon" made of colored translucent plastic, which uses a standardized peg and hole system to allow multiple attachments and configurations.
  • Scorponok (2003)
A much larger toy than the other Terrorcons, sold boxed.

Generations Armada Nemesis Prime is a new-head retool of Commander Class Armada Universe Optimus Prime; representing his "regenerating" face from the Armada cartoon. His coloration is based on his cartoon appearance, as opposed to his Hasbro toy, lacking any of that swaggy off-white bone tan it had. He also doesn't feature a Decepticon insignia, with the plate on the top of his truck mode also being retooled to now be smooth and blank.
Nemesis Prime entirely omits Optimus' combiner trailer, (which he can still combine with, showing off a brand new Super Mode not mentioned in his instructions) but rather includes the Air Defense Mini-Con Team. They combine into the Star Saber for him to wield. Nemesis retains Optimus' large ion blaster and smokestack guns, which serve as additional weapons for him to use. If desired, the ion blaster can store in his truck bed via the 5 mm ports back there which totally aren't hands.
Nemesis' chest panel can be opened up to reveal his dark copy of the Matrix. Painted gold but with a red core, you could say it represents the Doomstone.
This set was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 as an exclusive for the fall 2025 editions of New York Comic Con and MCM London in the west, and was a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive in Japan. On the first day of NYCC, the set was also made available to pre-order for Hasbro Pulse Premium members only, opening for non-premium members on November 3. Initially announced at US$74.99, the set would cost US$89.99 upon release.

Notes

[edit]
  • According to Hirofumi Ichikawa, the original idea for the Omnicons and Terrorcons by the design departments of both Hasbro and Takara was for them to be evolved Mini-Cons. This was completely ignored by Takara's marketing department, who were the only people from Takara ever directly talking to We've, so this idea never made it into the Super Link/Energon cartoon, and when Ichikawa found out about that, he never bothered trying to link his Linkage comic and the Super Link cartoon.<ref name="ichikawa">"Wing Saber vs. Mega-Dinobot: A Lesson", Hirofumi Ichikawa at alt.toys.transformers</ref>
