| The name or term "Kaon" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Kaon (disambiguation). |
- Kaon is a Decepticon from the IDW continuity portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Kaon is the communications officer of the Decepticon Justice Division and the one responsible for maintaining its hit list. A veritable dynamo, his frame arcs with electricity from the generator in his chest, arcing out from his hands and the twin Tesla coils mounted on his shoulders. In another life he might have bent this gift to the service of his fellow bots, but when he assumes alternate mode its true purpose is made known. Thousands of watts of electricity are discharged directly into the cranial chambers of those who would defy Megatron. Unlike in humans, this procedure is not always fatal.
Despite his chilly demeanor (and his creepy, cold, dead, empty, lifeless, soulless, bottomless, horrifying black eyes), he can become almost giddy in the execution of his duties, whether it's excitedly tracking down the D.J.D.'s next target or gleefully ripping an Autobot to shreds.
Kaon owns a partially domesticated turbofox sparkeater known only as "the Pet."
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
Kaon was constructed cold. Arm the Lonely
When the Decepticon Black Shadow was caught for getting bribed to destroy a fleet of War Worlds, Kaon electrocuted him and left him to get talked to death by Tarn. Kaon and the other members were then ordered by Tarn to move on to their next target, Fulcrum. Rules of Disengagement
On arrival at Clemency, they met with resistance from Fulcrum's new friends, the Scavengers, which automatically got them all put on The List. After pinning Krok down so that Vos could impale his face, Kaon went on to introduce Misfire to the Pet and use his electric powers to cripple Crankcase's Cybernought long enough for Tarn to destroy it. Following the apparent death of Fulcrum, he detected the energy signature of Overlord and informed Tarn, who immediately ordered the D.J.D. to leave in search of this new target. Who's Afraid of the DJD? Aboard the Peaceful Tyranny, Tarn showed concern as Kaon spontaneously began writhing in agony right in front of him. Arm the Lonely Kaon was comforted by the Pet when the pain ceased. This Calamitous Life
Arriving at Overlord's location, the Lost Light (in reality, one of two created by a malfunction of the ship's quantum engines), near the planet Ofsted XVII, the D.J.D. set about murdering the ship's crew of Autobots. Kaon personally killed Dipstick by shocking him to death before reaching the still-restrained Overlord. Tarn chopped his head off with a chainsaw while Kaon smirked, and the D.J.D. left the ship. slaughterhouse The Road Not Taken
When the D.J.D. returned to the murder site 17 months later to steal the Lost Light's quantum engines, they found that the Galactic Council and the Black Block Consortia were fighting over the same prize over Ofsted. The two sides joined forces to attack the D.J.D. Kaon and Vos pursued a Council squad to the planet's surface when reinforcements arrived, forcing the D.J.D to retreat with out them. As a result, Kaon and Vos were left near-dead in a wrecked campus. The kindness of Trailcutter saw Vos brought back from the brink... at which point he attacked the Autobot, forcing him to raise a forcefield. Kaon was inside the field in altmode: the forcefield charged him up and he gleefully tore Trailcutter to pieces. When the Autobots protested that Megatron had declared the war over, Kaon took Trailcutter's post-war copy of Towards Peace to check but smashed Trailcutter's brain first anyway. Vos and himself were then teleported back onto the Peaceful Tyranny by Helex. Births, Deaths, and Interventions
In the D.J.D. headquarters on Clemency, Kaon explained the unique properties of Nuke to Nickel. He later accompanied Tarn to a rendezvous with Deathsaurus, tapping into and hijacking the inter-Decepticon radio of the renegade's stolen Warworld for Tarn's use. He became concerned when Tarn and Deathsaurus came to blows, but Vos convinced him not to intervene. The Permanent Revolution
Games
Transformers Legends
Kaon and the rest of the D.J.D. hunted down Blackshadow to the planet Clemency. Finding their target holed up with Decepticon scavengers, the D.J.D. destroyed the lot of them before moving on to their next assignment. Rules of Disengagement
Notes
- According to Alex Milne, Kaon was the most difficult member of the Decepticon Justice Division to design.[1]
