Editing Chimeracon

: ''Chimeracons are a subgroup from the IDW portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

The logical evolution of the [[beast mode]], [[Tarantulas (BW)|Mesothulas]]'s '''Chimeracon''' upgrade takes the concept and refines it into a terrifyingly effective infiltration technique. Operating one step above conventional vehicle-based [[Transformer]]s, the Chimeracons incorporate "bio-disguise" technology that renders their energy signatures undetectable while in their [[alternate mode]]s. On top of that, their [[obtenteum]]-powered body-frames can [[Size changing|manipulate mass]] with ease, allowing them to grow or shrink to suit the dimensions of their animal disguises.

Known Chimeracons include:
*[[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]]
*[[Carnivac]]
*[[Claw Jaw]]
*[[Cybershark]]
*[[Leobreaker (G1)|Leobreaker]]
*[[Polar Claw]]
*[[Tidal Wave (G1)|Tidal Wave]]
*[[Stampy (BWN)|Stampy]]
*[[Overbite (G1)|Overbite]]

==Fiction==
===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
Following [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Shockwave]]'s trail to [[Earth]], the neutral scientist known as Mesothulas discovered obtenteum, in turn derived from [[Ultra Energon]]. From this, he developed many new inventions, including the bio-disguise technology that the Chimeracons would incorporate. He tested the technology on himself, giving him a new spider alternate mode. 

After the war, Mesothulas- now calling himself Tarantulas- recruited members of "[[Mayhem Attack Squad|Mayhem]]", a cross-factional terrorist cell, to help him in his quest to exact revenge on [[Prowl (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Prowl]]. In exchange for their service, he granted them access to new Chimeracon bodies, which would allow them to sneak about on Earth undetected. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 3}}
