Korlonium crystals are humming, high energy, light-emitting minerals. First seen on Earth after an earthquake, the energy emitted from the crystals readily attracted the Decepticons. It is known that these crystals are lethal to electronics; contact through any conductive material causes machinery to catastrophically explode.

Fiction

[edit]

The Transformers cartoon

[edit]

The Decepticons discovered a huge deposit of korlonium crystals and, instead of simply mining the energy contained in them, hatched an overly complicated plan involving a fake clone of Optimus Prime in order to lure the Autobots into it. Once the false Prime had infiltrated the Autobot ranks, Megatron was able to use energy amplifiers to cause an apparent increase in energy from the korlonium, luring the Autobots to the location.

During the execution of the Decepticon plan, Windcharger was knocked into the crevasse full of crystals, but transformed into vehicle mode, allowing his tires to act as insulation. Once he had climbed out of the pit, he was able to warn the Autobots and expose the false Prime. A Prime Problem

Notes

[edit]
  • Megatron was able to recognize the danger of korlonium crystals immediately, but noted scientist Starscream had never heard of them and the rest of the Autobots were prepared to march right in to an entire field of the stuff.

Foreign names

  • Japanese: Kolonium crystal (コロニウム・クリスタル koroniumu kurisutaru)
