- Excellion is a Velocitronian Autobot from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
A brooding loner from the planet Velocitron, Excellion has actually won more respect from the Decepticons than he has the Autobots by successfully infiltrating their base completely unseen on more than one occasion. While the Autobots appreciate his efforts, it's his attitude that has estranged him from his peers.
With any luck, his new mentor Blurr can whip him into shape.
