	When "[[Straxus (G1)\|Megatron]]" and [[Ravage (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Ravage]] [[Decepticon heavy transport\|returned]] to Cybertron following the events of the [[Time Wars]], they were furious to find Autobots walking around Helex without fear, so naturally they murdered them all. The two stormed off to the capitol to confront the ones responsible for this mess, and after what they had seen outside, they were not surprised when they came to meet the lazy, high-grade oil drinking Triumverate. Knowing that their forces missed the days of conquest and would be easily convinced to replace them for Megatron, the Triumverate manipulated their rival into arena combat to reclaim his title the traditional way. They didn't fight him personally, but sent some of their warriors to kill him. Megatron fought well until he regained his composure and delivered a rousing speech that convinced the Decepticons to his side. The Triumverate tried one last time to take him out, but the [[Triggercon]]s shot them before they could, signing the return of the reign of Megatron. {{storylink\|The Fall and Rise of the Decepticon Empire.}}		When "[[Straxus (G1)\|Megatron]]" and [[Ravage (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Ravage]] [[Decepticon heavy transport\|returned]] to Cybertron following the events of the [[Time Wars]], they were furious to find Autobots walking around Helex without fear, so naturally they murdered them all.

	While [[Polyhex]] had been the preferred location of many previous [[Decepticon leader]]s, Helex became the hub of the reign of the [[Triumvirate\|Triumverate]]. Rather than invest in the war, the Triumverate opted to use their power solely for their own comfort. Their decadent pursuit led to the abolishment of the many patrols keeping the city's metal vistas clean from [[Autobot]] presence, which began to manifest itself without challenge in the city soon after. As the Autobots plotted to tip the power balance in their favour, the Triumverate unworriedly entertained their forces with a steady program of [[Gladiatorial combat\|arena fights]] in which they pitted their more bloodthirsty soldiers against Autobot prisoners of war.
