	Hydra was the same age as [[Guiledart]] and the two immensely disliked each other to the point of often butting heads. One instance had Guiledart trick Hydra with a claim that the [[Maximal]]s were nearby and surprise attacked his rival. By eighty years later, the unlucky Hydra became the only [[Predacon (BW)\|Predacon]] assigned the remote fortress planet of [[Porcupine]] that he built, where he had little to do to pass the time besides repeat lame jokes to [[OPE]] a thousand times and use parts from ships he attacked to expand the planet. He was tricked again by Guiledart at the planet and, at some point, Guiledart became [[Magmatron (BW)\|Magmatron]]'s second in command, which drove Hydra into deep envy.

	Seventy years after Guiledart and Hydra's last quarrel, Hydra and OPE discovered an [[Angolmois Energy\|Angolmois]] Capsule hidden within the Porcupine's mechanical workings. This was detected by [[Big Convoy (BW)\|Big Convoy]]'s [[Maximal]]s on the ''[[Gung Ho (BW)\|Gung Ho]]'' and when [[Magmatron (BW)\|Magmatron]]'s Predacons on board the ''[[Dinosaur (ship)\|Dinosaur]]'' found the Maximals heading in the direction of Porcupine, the [[Emperor of Destruction]] contacted Hydra, and the ''Pteranodon'' confirmed the existence of the Angolmois Capsule to his superior. Delighted, Magmatron told Hydra to safeguard it from the Maximals till he arrived.		Seventy years after Guiledart and Hydra's last quarrel, Hydra and OPE discovered an [[Angolmois Energy\|Angolmois]] Capsule hidden within the Porcupine's mechanical workings. This was detected by [[Big Convoy (BW)\|Big Convoy]]'s [[Maximal]]s on the ''[[Gung Ho (BW)\|Gung Ho]]'' and when [[Magmatron (BW)\|Magmatron]]'s Predacons on board the ''[[Dinosaur (ship)\|Dinosaur]]'' found the Maximals heading in the direction of Porcupine, the [[Emperor of Destruction]] contacted Hydra, and the ''Pteranodon'' confirmed the existence of the Angolmois Capsule to his superior. Delighted, Magmatron told Hydra to safeguard it from the Maximals till he arrived.

	With the ''Gung Ho'' in range, Hydra sicced Porcupine's defenses on the Maximals, but some ingenious tactics from [[Big Convoy (BW)\|Big Convoy]] allowed the Maximals to escape, albeit not without some damage to the ship. When the ''Dinosaur'' arrived, Big Convoy deduced that Porcupine would not use its defense with the Predacon ship in range, and distracted the crew of the ''Dinosaur'' while sending in [[Heinrad (BW)\|Heinrad]] and [[Colada]] to infiltrate the ship. In the meantime, Magmatron sent over Guiledart to retrieve the capsule, which upset Hydra. The teleportation, however, unexpectedly also brought along Colada and Heinrad.

	Hydra responded to the newly arrived Guiledart by attacking him, intending to become Magmatron's lieutenant in Guiledart's place. Guiledart tried to convince the distrusting Hydra of the presence of the two Maximals and their theft of the Angolmois Capsule, but his begging fell to deaf ears till Heinrad called him out for his unnecessary suspicion. The Maximals were able to depart the planet with the Angolmois Capsule thanks to Big Convoy's long-term planning and Magmatron attempted to destroy the ''Gung Ho'' with the ''Dinosaur''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> cannons, but the Maximal ship was able to strafe the blast, which ended up hitting and destroying Porcupine. Hydra and OPE were sent flying off into empty space; the former did have one last joke to share and, while it was new, the latter found it unfunny. {{storylink\|Lonely Hydra}}		Hydra responded to the newly arrived Guiledart by attacking him, intending to become Magmatron's lieutenant in Guiledart's place.

	Porcupine was rebuilt in an improved form, and Hydra went to work searching for another Angolmois Capsule, contacting Magmatron when he did. Spurred by the threat of the [[Blentron]]s' true goal, Magmatron ordered an immediate departure to Porcupine, despite Guiledart's and [[Archadis]]'s misgivings. Once his leader arrived, Hydra attempted to pile on the brown-nosing for a promotion, but the Emperor was more concerned with defeating the Blentrons and using the capsule as bait for a confrontation. When the Blentrons arrived, Hydra attempted to use the planet's defense against the trio, but everything proved ineffective. When the Blentrons made it to the planet's main chamber, Hydra attempted to put up a fight with the other Predacons, but his Wing Shot made nary a scratch and he was shot down by [[Drancron]] and about to be stomped on by [[Elphaorpha]] before Magmatron attacked the monstrous Transformer. While he put up more of a fight, Magmatron was seemingly no match for the Blentrons, and a panicking Hydra tried to get them to retreat, which was overruled by the vehement Magmatron. The Maximals, chasing the Blentrons, arrived and the ensuing chaos forced Hydra to send the capsule into space. His decision, made to save Magmatron, was not appreciated by his leader and all Predacons present teleported to the ''Dinosaur''.

	Hydra was the same age as [[Guiledart]] and the two immensely disliked each other to the point of often butting heads. One instance had Guiledart trick Hydra with a claim that the [[Maximal]]s were nearby and surprise attacked his rival. By eighty years later, the unlucky Hydra became the only [[Predacon (BW)\|Predacon]] assigned the remote fortress planet of [[Porcupine]] that he built, where he had little to do to pass the time besides repeat lame jokes to [[OPE]] a thousand times and use parts from ships he attacked to expand the planet. He was tricked again by Guiledart at the planet and, at some point, Guiledart became [[Magmatron (BW)\|Magmatron]]'s second in command, which drove Hydra into deep envy.

	Seventy years after Guiledart and Hydra's last quarrel, Hydra and OPE discovered an [[Angolmois Energy\|Angolmois]] Capsule hidden within the Porcupine's mechanical workings. This was detected by [[Big Convoy (BW)\|Big Convoy]]'s [[Maximal]]s on the ''[[Gung Ho (BW)\|Gung Ho]]'' and when [[Magmatron (BW)\|Magmatron]]'s Predacons on board the ''[[Dinosaur (ship)\|Dinosaur]]'' found the Maximals heading in the direction of Porcupine, the [[Emperor of Destruction]] contacted Hydra, and the ''Pteranodon'' confirmed the existence of the Angolmois Capsule to his superior.

Seventy years after Guiledart and Hydra's last quarrel, Hydra and OPE discovered an [[Angolmois Energy\|Angolmois]] Capsule hidden within the Porcupine's mechanical workings.

Delighted, Magmatron told Hydra to safeguard it from the Maximals till he arrived.

	With the ''Gung Ho'' in range, Hydra sicced Porcupine's defenses on the Maximals, but some ingenious tactics from [[Big Convoy (BW)\|Big Convoy]] allowed the Maximals to escape, albeit not without some damage to the ship. When the ''Dinosaur'' arrived, Big Convoy deduced that Porcupine would not use its defense with the Predacon ship in range, and distracted the crew of the ''Dinosaur'' while sending in [[Heinrad (BW)\|Heinrad]] and [[Colada]] to infiltrate the ship. In the meantime, Magmatron sent over Guiledart to retrieve the capsule, which upset Hydra. The teleportation, however, unexpectedly also brought along Colada and Heinrad.

	Hydra responded to the newly arrived Guiledart by attacking him, intending to become Magmatron's lieutenant in Guiledart's place.

The Maximals were able to depart the planet with the Angolmois Capsule thanks to Big Convoy's long-term planning and Magmatron attempted to destroy the ''Gung Ho'' with the ''Dinosaur''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> cannons, but the Maximal ship was able to strafe the blast, which ended up hitting and destroying Porcupine.

	Porcupine was rebuilt in an improved form, and Hydra went to work searching for another Angolmois Capsule, contacting Magmatron when he did. Spurred by the threat of the [[Blentron]]s' true goal, Magmatron ordered an immediate departure to Porcupine, despite Guiledart's and [[Archadis]]'s misgivings. Once his leader arrived, Hydra attempted to pile on the brown-nosing for a promotion, but the Emperor was more concerned with defeating the Blentrons and using the capsule as bait for a confrontation. When the Blentrons arrived, Hydra attempted to use the planet's defense against the trio, but everything proved ineffective. When the Blentrons made it to the planet's main chamber, Hydra attempted to put up a fight with the other Predacons, but his Wing Shot made nary a scratch and he was shot down by [[Drancron]] and about to be stomped on by [[Elphaorpha]] before Magmatron attacked the monstrous Transformer. While he put up more of a fight, Magmatron was seemingly no match for the Blentrons, and a panicking Hydra tried to get them to retreat, which was overruled by the vehement Magmatron. The Maximals, chasing the Blentrons, arrived and the ensuing chaos forced Hydra to send the capsule into space. His decision, made to save Magmatron, was not appreciated by his leader and all Predacons present teleported to the ''Dinosaur''.

Spurred by the threat of the [[Blentron]]s' true goal, Magmatron ordered an immediate departure to Porcupine, despite Guiledart's and [[Archadis]]'s misgivings. Once his leader arrived, Hydra attempted to pile on the brown-nosing for a promotion, but the Emperor was more concerned with defeating the Blentrons and using the capsule as bait for a confrontation. When the Blentrons arrived, Hydra attempted to use the planet's defense against the trio, but everything proved ineffective. When the Blentrons made it to the planet's main chamber, Hydra attempted to put up a fight with the other Predacons, but his Wing Shot made nary a scratch and he was shot down by [[Drancron]] and about to be stomped on by [[Elphaorpha]] before Magmatron attacked the monstrous Transformer. While he put up more of a fight, Magmatron was seemingly no match for the Blentrons, and a panicking Hydra tried to get them to retreat, which was overruled by the vehement Magmatron. The Maximals, chasing the Blentrons, arrived and the ensuing chaos forced Hydra to send the capsule into space. His decision, made to save Magmatron, was not appreciated by his leader and all Predacons present teleported to the ''Dinosaur''.

	Working with [[Hardhead (BW)\|Hardhead]], Hydra placed a bomb in the [[Angolmois Energy\|Angolmois]] Capsule room of the ''[[Gung Ho]]'', later planning to steal the Angolmois Energy. When the two crashed into the bridge to finish off the [[Maximal]]s, one of Hardhead's careless gestures with his sword slashed open Hydra's chest. The fatally injured Predacon demanded an apology from Hardhead; in response and to atone for his mistake, the dim-witted Predacon committed {{w\|seppuku}}, despite Hydra's protests that there would be nobody left to steal the Angolmois Energy. Bleeding out on the floor, Hydra, with his dying breaths, noted that they were at least able to complete their mission of planting the bomb. His death was ultimately in vain as [[Longrack (BW)\|Longrack]] and [[Heinrad (BW)\|Heinrad]] later deactivated the bomb. {{storylink\|A Battle Fought Alone}}		Working with [[Hardhead (BW)\|Hardhead]], Hydra placed a bomb in the [[Angolmois Energy\|Angolmois]] Capsule room of the ''[[Gung Ho (BW)\|Gung Ho]]'', later planning to steal the Angolmois Energy.
