The Martian emissary is a device from the Beast Wars II portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The "Martian emissary" is a Gaean device left on Mars. He is cute, and bumbling and earnest, and his arrival brings death. Pardon; adorable death.

Fiction

Beast Wars II cartoon

The robot was part of a failsafe program left by the Gaeans to destroy the Angolmois on Gaea if it ever became corrupted by evil and threatened the universe. Once activated, it would interface with the Mother Computer on Gaea to pull the Moon towards Gaea, destroying both and the Angolmois.

As the artificial planet Nemesis approached Mars, the Martian emissary emerged from a step-pyramid and beelined it for Gaea. It was initially mistaken as a shooting star by Artemis, who made a wish upon it. The Maximals detected the emissary's approach and came to inspect its landing site, where it was able to communicate with NAVI. NAVI informed the Maximals it had a plan to "control" the Angolmois and wanted to be taken to the Mother Computer, but they were shortly attacked by the nasty Predacons, who grabbed the saucer and used it for an impromptu round of pickle-in-the-middle until Skywarp rescued it.

The robot caused a seeming rockfall to slide aside, revealing a passageway to the Mother Computer's subterranean dwelling. It interfaced with the computer, projecting a brief history of the former residents of Gaea and how they came to leave this world. The saucer then merged with the Mother Computer and began the program pull the Moon towards Gaea. Emissary of the Fourth Planet

With the help of Galvatron, the Maximals were able to break through the Mother Computer's defenses, allowing NAVI to enter the computer and confront the emissary—now interfaced with the computer's core. She engaged it in a vigorous round of furious beeping, eventually convincing it to cancel the program sending the Moon crashing down on the planet. The Martian emissary seemingly stayed within the Mother Computer, which was buried when the Galvaburg II subsequently bombed the site. The Crisis of Planet Gaea

Notes

• The Martian emissary is based on the same George Adamski UFO design as the Generation 1 Autobot Cosmos. Adamski's saucer was supposedly Venusian rather than Martian.
