- Kiloton is a Decepticon from the Japanese Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Kiloton is a thoughtful and introsepctive bot, one of Megatron's earliest recruits and eventually one of his closest friends. Unfortunately, Starscream tricked him into a dangerous foray on Earth, where he died at human hands and helped reignite the war between Autobot and Decepticon.
Fiction
G-2 story pages and minicomics
During the days of the Cybertron Alliance, Kiloton had business on Earth. Though no Cybertronian had been hostile to humans since the ratification of the alliance, an army unit took up arms against and killed him. Megatron was, to say the least, not amused. G-2 Part 3
Transformers Legends comics
Waspinator told his own Megatron a recap of Megatron's life story, including the time he lost his friend. Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 13
Ask Vector Prime
Kiloton was descended from Quintesson models designed for high-level tactics and strategy and was one of Megatron's earliest recruits. He and Meagtron became close friends, and perhaps more. He was seriously injured during an attack on Ultrix and sent off-world to convalesce. By the time he was restored to health, Megatron had gone missing, buried for millions of years on board the Ark. Kiloton traveled the galaxy as a military consultant. This he tired of, and he became a scholar and a force for peace.
When he eventually learned of Megatron's revival, he made haste to Cybertron and the two lovers very close friends reunited. This made Pretender Starscream jealous, especially since he had been having his skidplate handed to him by Bumblebee, Grimlock, and Jazz. Starscream tricked him into going to Earth by playing on his guilt for missing out on so much of Megatron's recent history. The people of Earth, who had only recently suffered an invasion at the hands of Scrash, were skeptical of the Cybertron Alliance, so when Kiloton showed up at Moscow unannounced, the military of the USSR didn't hesitate to blow him away. Ask Vector Prime
Toys
No toy of Kiloton was ever released. However, he is retroactively based on the MC-11 Gun Robo S&W Magnum 44 toy from the Micro Change line.
Notes
- Okay, so Megatron's dead friend is a funny story. For years, he only existed as that one image at the top of the page. Nothing, absolutely nothing of the text surrounding the image makes mention of him or otherwise provides the image with context. Why was he on Earth? Why did he get attacked? Why did he get killed? Why does his death bother Megatron? Did his death influence Megatron's choice to reignite the war? Ask Vector Prime would eventually retcon those changes, most likely with input from Hirofumi Ichikawa.
