- Carcer is a Metrotitan from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Carcer was one of the Titans created by the legendary Knights of Cybertron to act as a living ship, first known as Tempo. Tempo once carried a crew of philosophers seeking new kinds of truth, but somewhere along the way his name was changed to that of one of his siblings, Carcer. Unlike many of his siblings, Carcer never actually colonized a planet; permanently transformed into his starship form, he and his occupants chose to live a nomadic life among the stars.
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
Millions of years ago, Carcer and the other 12 colony Titans departed Cybertron to found new outposts of Cybertronian civilization. First Contact
According to Elita One, Carcer was formerly known as Tempo. Tempo travelled through space for eons, and as his natural resources began to diminish his occupants began sacrificing their own bodies to keep their Titan alive. Eventually, Elita One became captain, ruling from a chair composed of the bodies of their colony's greatest heroes- all of whom had given their lives in the service of their ship. The straitened inhabitants learned to value three things above all else: efficiency, security, and truth. At some point, his inhabitants chose to rename their ship Carcer. The Will of the Few
After Cybertron decided to re-establish contact with its abandoned colonies, the First Titan Metroplex located Carcer with his sensors. First Contact During their climatic battle, Devastator kicked Optimus Maximus through Metroplex's space bridge and onto Carcer's hull, although Optimus quickly rebounded and dived back through to Cybertron. All That Remains Several weeks later, Windblade and Starscream arrived to make formal contact. Believing that they were arriving on Tempo, a Titan crewed by peaceful philosophers, they were surprised by Carcer's militaristic ways. Windblade was deeply worried when Elita told her they had renamed their ship "Carcer"— a name that Windblade knew belonged to a different Titan.
After some political wrangling, the two ambassadors were able to convince Carcer to join the Council of Worlds; they chose to send Strika and Obsidian as ambassadors. The Will of the Few
Notes
- "Carcer" is Latin for "prison", which raises a lot of questions about Carcer and its inhabitants.
