Sovereign is an ancient Titan Master partnered with Alpha Trion. Probably the most powerful of all Titan Masters, his spark is infused with the energy of Primus, the creator of the Universe itself. Infinite power is not a gift all are capable of handling, nor one to share with just anyone and Sovereign only shares Primus's might with those he deems to be worthy.<ref>Titans Return Sovereign/Alpha Trion toy bio</ref>

"Your words are as empty as your future."

Long ago, Onyx Prime sent Sovereign to Earth to track down the Enigma of Combination. Disguised as a human and implanted with a set of false memories, Sovereign became known as Garrison Blackrock. In the wake of the Decepticon invasion of Earth, Blackrock became world-famous as the eccentric founder and CEO of Onyx. This cutting edge think-tank was responsible for some of the most advanced consumer electronics on the planet–all reverse-engineered from Cybertronian artifacts Blackrock had gathered, including the Enigma.

Blackrock's success hid a darker part of his life, including an identity crisis sparked by fragmentary visions and haunting dreams left over from his past life. Unsure of whether or not he even had a "soul", Blackrock's fears were confirmed when Galvatron revealed the truth behind Blackrock's origins. Things only got worse for Blackrock when Sentinel Prime, one of his Titan Master brethren, forcibly transformed Blackrock back into his original Titan Master configuration, using him as an unwilling catspaw in his own mad scheme. Blackrock was rescued from servitude and returned to Earth. Now an international fugitive, Blackrock discovered that he was able to shift between his synthetic human shape and his more powerful Titan Master form at will, using his flight-capable "Sovereign" body to great effect in the search for the lost Talisman.

[edit]
  • Autobot Sovereign & Alpha Trion (Voyager Class, 2016)
Available with Titans Return Alpha Trion, Sovereign transforms into a head compatible with any Deluxe-or-larger Titans Return figure.
Sovereign was retooled into Titans Return Blunderbuss and Fathom and Legends Broadside's Headmaster.

Notes

[edit]
When your Titan Master won't fit properly, use some Lube.
  • Sovereign's final design is based on Beta Maxx, the diminutive companion of another Alpha Trion. An early concept for Alpha Trion instead based the design of Sovereign on a rendition of Slapdash's Powermaster Nebulan companion Lube from Dreamwave's More than Meets the Eye #6. Somehow, a rendition of this early design for Sovereign by artist Marcelo Matere was colored in Sovereign's colors and ended up on a South African retailer's website.<ref name="lube">Mysterious character concept art revealed as Alpha Trion’s Titan Master Sovereign at TF2005.</ref>
  • In the IDW continuity, Sovereign transformed into a head resembling (but not identical to) Alpha Trion's upon connecting to his beheaded body. It is unknown if Sovereign's head mode was coincidentally already similar to Alpha Trion's, or if he adapted his form to the sage's design upon merging with his body, although Infinitus did not adapt a new form upon merging with Trion's body previously.
