| This article is about the Decepticon who does not transform into an iguana. For for the Predacon who may or may not be the same guy and also does not transform into an iguana, see Iguanus (BW). |
- Iguanus is a Decepticon Pretender in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Iguanus practices self-love -- specifically, his love for his outer shell. He has become obsessively fascinated by reptiles since becoming a Pretender, and can often be found mooning over his shell whenever he has a spare moment. He has even convinced himself that he has a special rapport with lizards and other scaly creatures. Iguanus often wonders if he could somehow become even closer to the reptiles than he already is. If only there was some way to combine Beast and 'Bot, and keep the action hot...
Fiction
Marvel Comics
After commandeering a genetics research lab on Earth, Scorponok was able to recreate and perfect the science of Pretender shells using synthoplasmic chambers constructed by him and Vorath. Iguanus was one of six Decepticon volunteers transformed by the process into new Pretenders. Pretender to the Throne!
Following the destruction of their mobile starship headquarters, the Decepticons established a new base hidden under the New Jersey dumps. Shortly thereafter, Iguanus was chosen by Scorponok to spearhead a new energy-collecting endeavor by him and his fellow Pretenders. Installing a stormmaker station in the New Jersey swamps, they engineered a massive storm over the surrounding area, then wired then island of Manhattan in order to collect energy for them. Iguanus's task was to attach an electrostator to the top of the Empire State Building when the storm reached critical intensity, channeling and amplifying the electricity down through the building and out through the wired intrastructure of the island, feeding the Decepticon's conductors and destroying half the city in the process. The Pretenders quickly ran into trouble at the stormmaker station, where they were confronted by the Autobot Micromasters. After a brief skirmish, Iguanus left Skullgrin to deal with them while he proceeded on to the Empire State Building. He ran into even more Micromasters while climbing the building, though, and their leader Roadhandler blasted the electrostator off the building's antenna just before the lightning strike. Iguanus lept off the building in a desperate attempt to replace the electrostator, only to take the full lightning force into himself on contact with the device, tearing his body apart and leaving the Decepticons with no accumulated energy. King 'Con!
Surprisingly, he was up and about again real quickly, escorting Scorponok to MacDill Airforce Base to deal with Optimus Prime and the Autobots.
