Fiction
[edit]2005 IDW continuity
[edit]The Wreckers used the Xantium to travel to and from the final showdown with Squadron X on Pova. Zero Point The ship later took them from Varas Centralus in the Kol System to Cybertron after being redeployed there on Optimus Prime's order. En route, Springer advised Prime that, if they couldn't stop Thunderwing, they should destroy him along with what was left of Cybertron. Stormbringer #2
Wreckers fanboy Ironfist will rant to you at length why the Xantium totally has a robot mode. Ironfist's Autopedia profile His workshop was designed so that with a few layout adjustments it would resemble the bridge of the Xantium. Bullets
Notes
[edit]- Don Figueroa said that the Xantium design is based on "Stronghold", a character from his old Macromasters fanfic comic. He also said, though, that if it ever transforms into a robot it will look a lot different.[1]
- On the other hand, IDW Editor Chris Ryall has said that the Xantium isn't a Transformer, though this statement could be interpreted in a few different ways.
- Ask Vector Prime notes that Galactica's alt mode is the same class of ship as the Xantium.
