	'''Alpha Trion''', the '''Old One''', is from a universe where the [[Decepticon]]s were defeated long ago. He is also the owner of a [[sword]] taken from a dead Decepticon named [[Slaughter]], a sword which can corrupt the mind of the wielder towards evil. But an act of sabotage took him from his original universe and whisked him here, to [[Axiom Nexus]], where he fights an underground war against the arrogant [[Transcendent Technomorph\|TransTech]], who aim to control the populace with mind control devices.

	~~None of the above is true.~~

	Sure, ''this'' Alpha Trion may seem like a nice old robot [[Alpha Trion\|like all the others]], but wait until you're introduced to his ceiling of mutilated corpses! Then the web of lies will begin to unravel...

	~~==Fiction==~~
	~~===Fun Publications ''Shattered Glass'' continuity===~~
	Alpha Trion acted as an adviser to [[Optimus Prime (SG)\|Optimus Prime]] in a [[Primax -408.24 Epsilon\|shattered universe]]. Prime had little patience for the Old One's lies and scheming, and so Alpha Trion was banished from this universe, {{storylink\|Shattered Glass (issue)\|Shattered Glass}} cast through the prototype [[stellar spanner]] that he had been developing. {{storylink\|Blitzwing Bop}} Alpha Trion left a [[:Category:Alpha Trion's acolytes\|secret cadre of loyalists]] behind who would wait for his return. {{storylink\|Reunification: Part 1}}

	The outcast sage found himself in the [[multiverse\|multiversal]] hub city of [[Axiom Nexus]], in [[Nexus 208.0 Epsilon\|the ancient, super-advanced universe]] of the [[Transcendent Technomorph\|TransTech]] Transformers. Rather than admit defeat, Alpha Trion plotted anew, and gathered another group of loyalists. Offworlder [[Maximal]]s [[Blackarachnia (BW)\|Blackarachnia]] and [[Nightscream (BM)\|Nightscream]] and [[Predacon (BW)\|Predacon]]s [[Scavenger (BW)\|Scavenger]] and [[Immorticon (BW)\|Immorticon]] soon fell under his wing. He easily turned their feelings against the TransTech government, as they had dealt with corruption in [[Primax 209.0 Gamma\|their native universe]], and once Alpha Trion had also accumulated a skilled Transformer named [[Topspin (Classics)\|Topspin]], the experiments began. With Topspin's help, Alpha Trion was able to move the sparks of his Maximal and Predacon acolytes into new TransTech bodies {{storylink\|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 25\|''TransTech'' Blackarachnia's profile}} as well as a [[Bulletbike (TransTech)\|few other unfortunates]]. {{storylink\|I, Lowtech}} At some point, the [[Depth Charge (BW)#Beast Wars: Uprising\|Depth Charge]] from his loyalists' home universe came about, on the hunt for the Maximals and Predacons Alpha Trion had taken under his wing. By showing him the sparkless bodies of the four fugitives, Alpha Trion and Topspin were able to convince Depth Charge that his quarries had already met their demise. {{storylink\|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 49\|Depth Charge's profile in Club magazine #~~49}}~~

	But Topspin himself was the piece to a larger puzzle, and one that Alpha Trion, with his intimate knowledge of Cybertronian lore, had devious plans for. All he needed were the other pieces. {{storylink\|Reunification: Part 2}}

	~~[[Image:Alphatrionceilingofcorpses.jpg\|left\|150px\|thumb\|Dammit, A-3, you show them the rec room first. THEN the ceiling of corpses.]]~~
	Alpha Trion soon found these pieces. He was assigned to three newcomers to Axiom Nexus, [[Skyfall (Cybertron)\|Skyfall]], [[Landquake (Timelines)\|Landquake]], and [[Breakaway (Classics)\|Breakaway]], and instructed to help them acclimate to their new dimension. However, after Breakaway was abducted right under their noses by [[Shockwave (TransTech)\|mechs unknown]], {{storylink\|Transcendent: Part 1}} Alpha Trion revealed his real plan. He revealed that the TransTechs that ruled over the city were an untrustworthy and manipulative lot, and that there were personality inhibitors broadcast through satellites in this [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]'s orbit. Furthermore, they had a habit of abducting certain mechs of interest, and were likely probing the slag out of poor Breakaway somewhere. Skyfall and Landquake began to feel uncomfortable, so Alpha Trion tried to reassure them. He led the two to his room full of ceiling-suspended TransTech corpses. {{storylink\|Transcendent: Part 2}}

	~~For some reason, that didn't work. Alpha Trion's helper, Topspin, arrived to explain, noting that none of the corpses were actually dead, as their~~ [[spark]]s were kept safe elsewhere. These were nothing more than their experiments in trying to help mechs escape Axiom Nexus, as its inhabitants' bodies are tagged. Speaking privately with Skyfall, Alpha Trion gave him his own sword for safekeeping. He warned it once belonged to a Decepticon named Slaughter, and though it could influence terribly the thoughts of the bearer, Alpha Trion believed Skyfall had as strong a spirit as himself. Should Alpha Trion fall, Skyfall would have to keep it. {{storylink\|Transcendent: Part 3}}

	Nightscream brought word to Alpha Trion: He had learned where the TransTech had taken Breakaway! Alpha Trion informed his acolytes that they would attack that very night. {{storylink\|Transcendent: Part 4}} Gathering Nightscream, Scavenger, Blackarachnia, Immorticon, Topspin, and an increasingly suspicious Skyfall and Landquake, Alpha Trion stormed the [[Transwarp Complex]] in search of Shockwave's lab and the Transit Room. After he killed the guards and ran [[Depth Charge (TransTech)\|Depth Charge]] through with his sword, he reminded Skyfall of the terrible influence of his evil weapon. He took Skyfall, Landquake, and Immorticon with him towards the lab and ordered the others to occupy the Transit Room. Unfortunately, [[Megatron (TransTech)\|Megatron]] was in their way. {{storylink\|Transcendent: Part 5}} It wasn't long before the TransTech military commander struck a devastating blow, mutilating one side of Alpha Trion's face. But he and the two multiversal hitchhikers made their getaway (with Breakaway in tow) as Megatron was busy reducing Immorticon to rubble.

	~~[[Image:Skyfallwontbethereforit.jpg\|thumb\|right\|250px\|"You don't even get the non-attending exclusive package."]]~~
	As the group neared the Transit Room, Alpha Trion told Skyfall of his great importance, how back in his original universe, [[Vector Sigma]] had told him that "[[Primus]] is calling his first sons home." Unfortunately for Skyfall, Alpha Trion had different plans. While the others disappeared through the Transit Room into Alpha Trion's original universe, he impaled Skyfall with his sword, killing him. Skyfall's conscience and strength of will would have served as a distraction in Alpha Trion's coming rise to power, and "Reunification" could take place with one of "them" dead. He then ordered Nightscream to drag the body through the portal with them, as Alpha Trion had a universe to conquer. {{storylink\|Transcendent: Part 6}}

	Alpha Trion and the others appeared back in his home universe within his old lab. Though Alpha Trion wished to get directly at the task at hand, Breakaway and Landquake obviously had questions about Skyfall's demise. When pressed on the issue, Alpha Trion told Landquake that Skyfall had been shot from behind on their way through the portal, but Breakaway was quick to note that Skyfall had a blade wound, not a gun wound. Alpha Trion sighed, and as more of his acolytes (ones native to this universe) arrived, he called for them to seize the two... and Topspin. {{storylink\|Reunification: Part 1}} Topspin was puzzled, to say the least, as he had been very loyal to Alpha Trion. This act of betrayal unhinged Topspin, and after he killed [[Kickback (SG)\|one of Alpha Trion's acolytes]], the three were able to escape Alpha Trion's lab with Skyfall's body. Alpha Trion decided to move his group to another of his labs and hunt them down another day. {{storylink\|Reunification: Part 2}}

	Some weeks later, Alpha Trion communicated with [[Rodimus (SG)\|Rodimus]] that his plans were in place and he was ready to strike. [[Remote Patrol Six\|Rodimus' assassins]] would kill Optimus Prime at the same time [[Cyclonus (SG)\|Trion's agents]] killed [[Megatron (SG)\|Megatron]], thus paving the way for the two of them to conquer Cybertron and [[Earth]]. {{storylink\|Transhuman}} {{storylink\|Reunification: Part 3}} {{storylink\|The Coming Storm: Part 1}}

	After [[Remote Patrol Six]] attempted (and miserably failed) to kill [[Optimus Prime (SG)\|Optimus Prime]], Alpha Trion showed up with [[Sky Lynx (SG)\|Sky Lynx]] and [[Nightscream (BM)\|Nightscream]] to try and kill Prime himself, only to be introduced to [[Omega Doom]]'s cannon. {{storylink\|Reunification: Part 5}}

	~~[[File:Coalescence FallenSunstormAlphaTrion.jpg\|thumb\|left\|300px]]~~
	He survived the cannon blast, though the Decepticons had taken his stellar spanner back to their base, and destroyed it after [[Nexus Prime]] and [[Aquarius (SG)\|Aquarius]] passed through it to parts unknown. {{storylink\|Reunification: Part 6}}

	: He was only available as part of a [[BotCon 2007]] at-show "souvenir" bagged set, packed with [[Beta Maxx (RID)#Timelines\|Beta Maxx]] and [[Weirdwolf (G1)#Timelines\|Weirdwolf]], limited to 1400 pieces. His pack-in bio very carefully kept things nice and vague, and branded him a normal Autobot, hiding the "true" nature of the toy to be revealed in-fiction later.

	:The situation with this toy is a little difficult. Alpha Trion may have been intended to be part of the ''[[Transformers: Classics\|Classics]]'' toyline, but never made an appearance in that franchise. The bio is vaguely written and skirts around anything specific to the character's true nature, but does not contradict its status of being a ''Shattered Glass'' toy, and does allude to the events of the "Transcendent" storyline. He also could have just "evolved" into what we now have with the publishing of ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (fiction)\|Shattered Glass]]'' stories featuring him, but he ''was'' always kind of hinted at being sinister in "Transcendent". So he could either be the first "official" ''Shattered Glass'' toy, or he could technically be a [[repurposing]].

	'''Alpha Trion''', the '''Old One''', is from a universe where the [[Decepticon]]s were defeated long ago. He is also the owner of a [[sword]] taken from a dead Decepticon named [[Slaughter]], a sword which can corrupt the mind of the wielder towards evil. But an act of sabotage took him from his original universe and whisked him here, to [[Axiom Nexus]], where he fights an underground war against the arrogant [[Transcendent Technomorph\|TransTech]], who aim to control the populace with mind control devices.

	~~None of the above is true.~~

	Sure, ''this'' Alpha Trion may seem like a nice old robot [[Alpha Trion\|like all the others]], but wait until you're introduced to his ceiling of mutilated corpses! Then the web of lies will begin to unravel...

	~~==Fiction==~~
	~~===Fun Publications ''Shattered Glass'' continuity===~~
	Alpha Trion acted as an adviser to [[Optimus Prime (SG)\|Optimus Prime]] in a [[Primax -408.24 Epsilon\|shattered universe]]. Prime had little patience for the Old One's lies and scheming, and so Alpha Trion was banished from this universe, {{storylink\|Shattered Glass (issue)\|Shattered Glass}} cast through the prototype [[stellar spanner]] that he had been developing. {{storylink\|Blitzwing Bop}} Alpha Trion left a [[:Category:Alpha Trion's acolytes\|secret cadre of loyalists]] behind who would wait for his return. {{storylink\|Reunification: Part 1}}

	The outcast sage found himself in the [[multiverse\|multiversal]] hub city of [[Axiom Nexus]], in [[Nexus 208.0 Epsilon\|the ancient, super-advanced universe]] of the [[Transcendent Technomorph\|TransTech]] Transformers. Rather than admit defeat, Alpha Trion plotted anew, and gathered another group of loyalists. Offworlder [[Maximal]]s [[Blackarachnia (BW)\|Blackarachnia]] and [[Nightscream (BM)\|Nightscream]] and [[Predacon (BW)\|Predacon]]s [[Scavenger (BW)\|Scavenger]] and [[Immorticon (BW)\|Immorticon]] soon fell under his wing. He easily turned their feelings against the TransTech government, as they had dealt with corruption in [[Primax 209.0 Gamma\|their native universe]], and once Alpha Trion had also accumulated a skilled Transformer named [[Topspin (Classics)\|Topspin]], the experiments began. With Topspin's help, Alpha Trion was able to move the sparks of his Maximal and Predacon acolytes into new TransTech bodies {{storylink\|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 25\|''TransTech'' Blackarachnia's profile}} as well as a [[Bulletbike (TransTech)\|few other unfortunates]]. {{storylink\|I, Lowtech}} At some point, the [[Depth Charge (BW)#Beast Wars: Uprising\|Depth Charge]] from his loyalists' home universe came about, on the hunt for the Maximals and Predacons Alpha Trion had taken under his wing. By showing him the sparkless bodies of the four fugitives, Alpha Trion and Topspin were able to convince Depth Charge that his quarries had already met their demise. {{storylink\|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 49\|Depth Charge's profile in Club magazine #~~49}}~~

	But Topspin himself was the piece to a larger puzzle, and one that Alpha Trion, with his intimate knowledge of Cybertronian lore, had devious plans for. All he needed were the other pieces. {{storylink\|Reunification: Part 2}}

	~~[[Image:Alphatrionceilingofcorpses.jpg\|left\|150px\|thumb\|Dammit, A-3, you show them the rec room first. THEN the ceiling of corpses.]]~~
	Alpha Trion soon found these pieces. He was assigned to three newcomers to Axiom Nexus, [[Skyfall (Cybertron)\|Skyfall]], [[Landquake (Timelines)\|Landquake]], and [[Breakaway (Classics)\|Breakaway]], and instructed to help them acclimate to their new dimension. However, after Breakaway was abducted right under their noses by [[Shockwave (TransTech)\|mechs unknown]], {{storylink\|Transcendent: Part 1}} Alpha Trion revealed his real plan. He revealed that the TransTechs that ruled over the city were an untrustworthy and manipulative lot, and that there were personality inhibitors broadcast through satellites in this [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]'s orbit. Furthermore, they had a habit of abducting certain mechs of interest, and were likely probing the slag out of poor Breakaway somewhere. Skyfall and Landquake began to feel uncomfortable, so Alpha Trion tried to reassure them. He led the two to his room full of ceiling-suspended TransTech corpses. {{storylink\|Transcendent: Part 2}}

	~~For some reason, that didn't work. Alpha Trion's helper, Topspin, arrived to explain, noting that none of the corpses were actually dead, as their~~ [[spark]]s were kept safe elsewhere. These were nothing more than their experiments in trying to help mechs escape Axiom Nexus, as its inhabitants' bodies are tagged. Speaking privately with Skyfall, Alpha Trion gave him his own sword for safekeeping. He warned it once belonged to a Decepticon named Slaughter, and though it could influence terribly the thoughts of the bearer, Alpha Trion believed Skyfall had as strong a spirit as himself. Should Alpha Trion fall, Skyfall would have to keep it. {{storylink\|Transcendent: Part 3}}

	Nightscream brought word to Alpha Trion: He had learned where the TransTech had taken Breakaway! Alpha Trion informed his acolytes that they would attack that very night. {{storylink\|Transcendent: Part 4}} Gathering Nightscream, Scavenger, Blackarachnia, Immorticon, Topspin, and an increasingly suspicious Skyfall and Landquake, Alpha Trion stormed the [[Transwarp Complex]] in search of Shockwave's lab and the Transit Room. After he killed the guards and ran [[Depth Charge (TransTech)\|Depth Charge]] through with his sword, he reminded Skyfall of the terrible influence of his evil weapon. He took Skyfall, Landquake, and Immorticon with him towards the lab and ordered the others to occupy the Transit Room. Unfortunately, [[Megatron (TransTech)\|Megatron]] was in their way. {{storylink\|Transcendent: Part 5}} It wasn't long before the TransTech military commander struck a devastating blow, mutilating one side of Alpha Trion's face. But he and the two multiversal hitchhikers made their getaway (with Breakaway in tow) as Megatron was busy reducing Immorticon to rubble.

	~~[[Image:Skyfallwontbethereforit.jpg\|thumb\|right\|250px\|"You don't even get the non-attending exclusive package."]]~~
	As the group neared the Transit Room, Alpha Trion told Skyfall of his great importance, how back in his original universe, [[Vector Sigma]] had told him that "[[Primus]] is calling his first sons home." Unfortunately for Skyfall, Alpha Trion had different plans. While the others disappeared through the Transit Room into Alpha Trion's original universe, he impaled Skyfall with his sword, killing him. Skyfall's conscience and strength of will would have served as a distraction in Alpha Trion's coming rise to power, and "Reunification" could take place with one of "them" dead. He then ordered Nightscream to drag the body through the portal with them, as Alpha Trion had a universe to conquer. {{storylink\|Transcendent: Part 6}}

	Alpha Trion and the others appeared back in his home universe within his old lab. Though Alpha Trion wished to get directly at the task at hand, Breakaway and Landquake obviously had questions about Skyfall's demise. When pressed on the issue, Alpha Trion told Landquake that Skyfall had been shot from behind on their way through the portal, but Breakaway was quick to note that Skyfall had a blade wound, not a gun wound. Alpha Trion sighed, and as more of his acolytes (ones native to this universe) arrived, he called for them to seize the two... and Topspin. {{storylink\|Reunification: Part 1}} Topspin was puzzled, to say the least, as he had been very loyal to Alpha Trion. This act of betrayal unhinged Topspin, and after he killed [[Kickback (SG)\|one of Alpha Trion's acolytes]], the three were able to escape Alpha Trion's lab with Skyfall's body. Alpha Trion decided to move his group to another of his labs and hunt them down another day. {{storylink\|Reunification: Part 2}}

	Some weeks later, Alpha Trion communicated with [[Rodimus (SG)\|Rodimus]] that his plans were in place and he was ready to strike. [[Remote Patrol Six\|Rodimus' assassins]] would kill Optimus Prime at the same time [[Cyclonus (SG)\|Trion's agents]] killed [[Megatron (SG)\|Megatron]], thus paving the way for the two of them to conquer Cybertron and [[Earth]]. {{storylink\|Transhuman}} {{storylink\|Reunification: Part 3}} {{storylink\|The Coming Storm: Part 1}}

	After [[Remote Patrol Six]] attempted (and miserably failed) to kill [[Optimus Prime (SG)\|Optimus Prime]], Alpha Trion showed up with [[Sky Lynx (SG)\|Sky Lynx]] and [[Nightscream (BM)\|Nightscream]] to try and kill Prime himself, only to be introduced to [[Omega Doom]]'s cannon. {{storylink\|Reunification: Part 5}}

	~~[[File:Coalescence FallenSunstormAlphaTrion.jpg\|thumb\|left\|300px]]~~
