- Straxus is a Decepticon from the Animated continuity family
Don't mess with Straxus. Seriously. We mean it. Actually, try to avoid being anywhere near him, period. He's one of those mechs who doesn't handle power well. And power, he's got a lot. As Lord High Governor of the Decepticon colony planet Lucifer, he uses his position, bulky frame, and ample weaponry to make the life of his subjects a living hell—as literally as he can manage. Less so on the "living" part, actually.
Fiction
[edit]Animated cartoon continuity
[edit]Straxus smelted Scrounge during the Great War. He survived.
Straxus was present at the final battle of the Great War, presumably leading some of Megatron's troops into defeat. However, he can't have done such a terrible job, seeing as he was later rewarded with governorship of one of the distant colonies of the re-vitalized Decepticon Empire. Unless he shot someone in the back to get the job. Which he would probably do without batting an optic. If optics can be, uh, batted.
In modern times, Straxus was among the Decepticons who participated in Megatron's plan to capture Autobot space bridges and use them to invade Cybertron. He failed to reach his objective and his strike force was beaten back by the Autobots. The AllSpark Almanac II
Straxus commandeered the results of Project: Nemesis Prime shortly after it was completed. After that, no more was heard of it.[1]
Notes
[edit]- Straxus is obviously based on Marvel G1 character of the same name. Interestingly, the character had not been used for over twenty years when, over the course of barely more than two years, he was used by IDW, considered for (and subsequently cut from) the Animated cartoon, and received his first-ever toy in the Generations toyline.
- Straxus was designed for Animated with the intent of having him appear in a flashback sequence in "TransWarped" that would have depicted the Battle for Iacon at the conclusion of the Great War. The scene, alas, was cut for time.
- Straxus's biographical data—as little as there is of it—is provided by Strika. When even Strika thinks that someone is a tyrant... hoo boy.
