Seizer

This article is about the Marvel Decepticon. For the IDW Decepticon, see Seizor.

Seizer is a Decepticon from the Marvel portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Seizer is a member of the ruling Triumverate who seized control of the Decepticons after the (second) death of Straxus. He is arrogant, lazy, and believes in a rather complacent method of Decepticon rule on Cybertron. He's the most violent of the three, but really only when someone dares bring him less than premium-grade oil.

Fiction

Marvel The Transformers comics

Seizer appeared exclusively in the UK portion of the Marvel Comics continuity.

An unspecified amount of time after the (second) death of Straxus, a triumvirate of Decepticons, ingeniously calling themselves the Triumverate, came to power as the new rulers of Cybertron. Legonis, Octus, and Seizer ruled together from their palace at the city Helex, sharing a three-seater throne. Octus had the center seat.

As rulers of Cybertron the Triumverate were too lazy for active aggression against the Autobots. Instead they spent their time enjoying arena fights between Autobot prisoners and powerful Decepticon warriors (such as Quake), even contemplating pitting Decepticon against Decepticon should they run out of prisoners, rather than going out to get more.

When a clone of Megatron (it's complicated) arrived on Cybertron with Ravage in tow, he was horrified with the state of things and challenged the Triumverate's rule.

Legonis shoved Megatron into the gladiatorial arena, where the latter bashed up a few Decepticons (including Quake, the schmuck) before making a speech about Decepticon values. Seizer realized they'd lost the crowd, and drew his gun to shoot Megatron in the back and re-affirm just who was in control. Realizing that they hated not going out and killing Autobots, the Decepticons turned on the Triumverate for being lazy bozos.

The Triggercons shot the Triumverate in the backs, killing them. Seizer was blasted by Windsweeper, leaving him a pile of scrap. The Fall and Rise of the Decepticon Empire.

Notes

• Octus (Octavius), Legonis (Lepidus), and Seizer (Caesar) are a parody of (or perhaps tribute to) the ruling Triumvirate of Rome after the death of Julius Caesar.
• Seizer's robot mode shows signs of him transforming into some kind of heavy mining machine.
