Alpha Trion is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.

I'm sure I'm just a wise old sage and nothing any more complicated or cosmic than that!

Alpha Trion (aka A-3) is one of the oldest living Transformers, and with that age comes a nuanced understanding of his race and their place within the universe. In his youth, he was instrumental in establishing Cybertron as an independent galactic power, and in his older years, he has found a comfortable role in serving as advisor to other Transformers.

Though Alpha Trion rarely takes part in the battles of the Great War, he is firmly on the side of the Autobots and serves as a mentor and guide, especially to Optimus Prime and Elita One. He is an enigmatic old robot, and in many realities he is the guardian of Vector Sigma and the custodian of its circuit key. His sage-like manner paints him in almost a mystic tone, and possible connections between Alpha Trion, Primus, and the history of Cybertron itself have boosted him into legendary status.

Animated Intro

"I'm Alpha Trion!"

Billions of stellar cycles before the Decepticon movement had even been conceived, Alpha Trion fought in countless Cybertronian battles. He is, perhaps, the oldest Transformer anybody knows. These days, however, Alpha Trion is just a civilian, serving as the head of the Guilds Domesticus in the Autobot High Council. In this role he presents a constant challenge to Sentinel Prime, reminding the arrogant Elite Guardsman that the Guild is in charge of the military, and not the other way around. Sentinel disagrees with the ancient bot, feeling that he's simply been out of combat for too long to be relevant.

Having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card!

In the last days before the war, Alpha Trion was "The Archivist of Iacon," head overseer of the planet's Hall of Records, a place where all the information on the planet's history was stored, locked away...and promptly forgotten. It was a fitting position, as Alpha Trion himself had been placed there by Sentinel Prime to be forgotten as a relic of history...but the elderly Autobot was more than he appeared. A truly ancient and powerful being, Alpha Trion dates from the days of Cybertron's birth. A first-generation child of Primus, he is a member of the Thirteen and the secret, forgotten guardian of two powerful artifacts: the oracular Covenant of Primus and the reality-bending Quill. Granted with infallible recall and a direct connection to the Spark of Primus, Trion's years of experience and wisdom means that he's calm and unflappable in even the most dire of crises.

Something of a mentor to a young monitor named Orion Pax, Alpha Trion knew that his young friend was in reality the reincarnation of the legendary Thirteenth Prime. Alpha Trion would eventually set him on the path to reclaim his noble heritage, and in the process forged him into a Cybertronian worthy of leading the fledgling Autobot movement.

Optimus Prime, feeling a sense of coming dread, was sent by the Mini-Con Over-Run to one of countless uplink platforms. Here, Over-Run told him, was a direct point of access to Cybertron's planetwide internal mainframe, a mass intellect which could give him answers. Touching the platform, Prime was transported into the Hub, a digital world, where a bearded sage appeared. It was revealed to Prime that Unicron would return, the Terrorcons were gathering, and that his old foe Megatron still persisted within the heart of Unicron. And most importantly, Energon existed in vast quantities on Earth, and the Terrorcons would strike there soon! This Evil Reborn

Prime returned with this information to the Autobot High Council at the High Halls, telling him of the vision he received from this planetary intelligence named "Sig-Omega". High Councilor Levitacus rejected this news, for they had never heard of such an entity. What Lies Beneath

Critically damaged during an attack by Unicron's Four Horsemen, Strongarm took Prime to another uplink platform, where he once again communed with the bearded sage. He granted Prime and various other fallen Autobots who surrounded him the Spark of Combination. With this upgrade, the Autobots were able to repel the invasion. What Lies Beneath, Part Two

Alpha Trion, Perceptor, and Cliffjumper had a "council" talk regarding how they didn't want Sentinel Prime as commander.

Alpha Trion was given his first real assessment of Sentinel Prime's ability to lead when Omega Supreme appeared over the capital city under the control of Megatron. Sentinel advocated that they attack immediately and end the threat of Megatron at once. However, Ratchet, Omega's former mentor-bot, in the company of a small organic, said that Omega had absorbed so much transwarp energy that destroying the huge Autobot could take Cybertron with him. Alpha Trion announced that the High Council would deliberate on its options. Ratchet, however, broke out in an attempt to make contact with Omega Supreme, and Sentinel Prime diverted all essential energon to Fortress Maximus, ultimately firing on Omega Supreme, who transwarped away. After that, Alpha Trion made sure that it was known that Ratchet and the organic were the real heroes of the day, and reprimanded Sentinel for disregarding the Council's authority. Sentinel shot back that he would repeat his actions again if it meant saving Cybertron, and Alpha Trion made his position very clear: if it were up to him, Sentinel would never get that chance.

The Covenant of Primus

"So, when can we use the hot tub?"

Alpha Trion was the third Prime created by Primus to defeat Unicron. The group of newborn Primes soon began experimenting with their powers and artefacts, strategizing for the coming conflict with their creator's arch-nemesis. Alpha Trion preferred to strategize than directly fight, and trained alongside Quintus Prime, Liege Maximo, and Micronus Prime. The Thirteen Primes ultimately triumphed over Unicron with the help of Solus Prime's many artifacts, although the malevolent presence of Unicron's anti-spark meant that all of the Primes, Trion included, were irrevocably tainted with a touch of darkness.

In the period following Unicron's defeat, the Primes began rebuilding Cybertron, each focusing on their own interest. Trion collaborated with Prima and Vector Prime with the establishment of government, creating order for later civilizations. Trion was surprised when Megatronus and Solus Prime's feelings for one another blossomed into mutual love, but said nothing of the matter. Alpha Trion would later investigate Quintus Prime's unethical experiments, which involved pitting specially-engineered robotic beasts against one another underneath Cybertron. Liege Maximo's manipulations led to the accidental murder of Solus Prime by Megatronus, even as Maximo himself blamed Megatronus for the manipulation. Battle broke out between all thirteen Primes, and they all wound up falling into the caverns below Cybertron, temporarily knocking Alpha Trion unconscious.

When Trion came round, he noticed that Liege Maximo had been blown apart with the Requiem Blaster, and Onyx Prime had been grievously wounded by Quintus's beasts. After the construction of Solus Prime's tomb, Megatronus departed into space, renaming himself "The Fallen". Alpha Trion and the remaining Primes hatched a new plan to revitalize Cybertron.

Alpha Trion and his closest friend Alchemist Prime retired from leadership roles, but would subtly guide the progress of the Cybertronian race. Onyx, Micronus, and Thirteen entered the Well of All Sparks and activated it, giving birth to the Cybertronian race. Alpha Trion went along with Prima's plan to keep the existence of T-cogs —and by extension, the ability to transform- a secret for the time being. One of the robots to emerge from the Well was Orion Pax, the reborn shape of the Thirteenth Prime, who had voluntarily entered the Well and allowed himself to be reborn so as to better understand the new Transformer civilization. Alpha Trion made sure to track Pax's progress as he moved through life.

After the Great Cataclysm and the founding of Iacon, Trion took up residence there and founded the Hall of Records. When the first Quintessons arrived on the planet and gave Cybertronians the "gift" of transformation by reactivating the dormant T-cogs, Alpha Trion ruefully noted that even he had been momentarily deceived by the Quintesson's false promises.

After Cybertron's Golden Age, Sentinel Zeta Prime began sequestering Cybertronians under the caste system. Trion sought council with Vector Sigma, hoping to gain access to the Matrix of Leadership and use it to revitalize Cybertron's increasingly static society. Vector Sigma refused to give him access to the artifact, but reassured him that the time would soon be right for the Matrix's arrival. Instead, the computer gave him the Badge of Vector Prime, to be given to Sentinel as a gift. The Badge reacted with Trion's copy of the Covenant and his Quill, creating a new and mostly indecipherable passage calling for the reawakening of the Thirteenth Prime. Alpha Trion realized that Orion needed an equal and opposite number to inspire the archivist and hopefully jog his memory.

While he waited, Alpha Trion sequestered himself within the Hall of Records, and eventually became a recluse. He kept himself busy by monitoring transmissions from across the planet, and grew increasingly interested in the exploits of a gladiator named D-16, who had recently taken on the nickname of "Megatronus". Encouraged by Alpha Trion, Orion Pax and Megatronus became friends and intellectual sparring partners. Trion hoped that this friendship would lead to the fulfillment of the prophecy, and that Orion Pax's idealism would temper Megatronus's aggressive urges. At a council meeting secretly organized by Trion, Sentinel and the High Council named Orion the new Prime, but Megatron's jealousy and inability to share power led to the first shots of the Great War.

During the Great War, Alpha Trion was assigned Smokescreen as a security guard. To keep the various artefacts of the Primes out of Decepticon hands, Trion began launching them off planet in artificial meteoroids. He launched many of these artefacts to Earth, as he sensed that one day the war would spill over to the organic planet. After the majority of Transformers left Cybertron, Trion remained on the planet with a handful of other Autobots, including the Wreckers and Dinobots, and together they continued fighting against Shockwave's remnant Decepticon forces.

He would remain aware of Optimus's progress on Earth, however, and eventually transcribed many of his adventures into the Covenant of Primus itself.

At some point after the rejuvenation of Cybertron, Alpha Trion transmitted an altered copy of the Covenant to Earth, so that humans could learn more about their galactic neighbors. The Covenant of Primus

Aligned novels

Stop writing down everything I say, Trion!

Alpha Trion was informed by Orion Pax of an upstart Kaonian gladiator named Megatronus, and was played a recording of his speeches regarding a Cybertronian's right to self determination, defying the caste system. Alpha Trion acknowledged that Megatronus's tirades were the fruit of a society that discouraged ambition.

When terrorists began bombing Cybertron, Alpha Trion saw the gladiator — whose name was shortened to Megatron — and Orion make speeches on the Grid, protesting Megatron was not involved in what happened. When Orion returned to Iacon, Alpha Trion asked him why he trusted Megatron. Orion felt Megatron would have claimed responsibility for the attacks if he were behind them. Awed by Orion's intuition and empathy for the lower class Cybertronians in Kaon, Alpha Trion wondered if Orion was the Prime foretold in the Covenant: the Prime that would save Cybertron from a civil war. When Sentinel was kidnapped, Orion requested Alpha Trion arrange a hearing with the High Council. Alpha Trion obliged and passed on his beliefs about Orion to the Councilors, and it was at the hearing Halogen renamed Orion Optimus Prime: the act that angered Megatron and tore the planet into Autobots and Decepticons.

Alpha Trion recorded the events of war in the Covenant. On the Communication Grid he witnessed the beautiful and terrible destruction of Crystal City. He continued maintaining the Hall of Records with a skeleton crew, but he felt the stirrings of battle in his Spark, proclaiming he would fight once more if the Decepticons broke the siege of Iacon. Optimus visited after the victory of Kalis, asking if they could win the war itself. Alpha Trion replied only a being who could tell the future could answer that, and it was then he revealed to Optimus it was he who suggested that the High Council appoint him Prime.

When Megatron discovered the existence of Dark Energon on Trypticon Station, Alpha Trion sensed what happened and told the Autobots of the essence of Unicron, revealing he had deleted much of the information regarding Trypticon's purpose from the DataNet as he felt knowledge of it was too dangerous. When Megatron attempted to steal the Plasma Energy Chamber, Alpha Trion informed Optimus that Teletraan-1 had reactivated Omega Supreme. Afterwards, Alpha Trion gave Optimus advice when he went to Kaon to rescue Sentinel Prime, and when his body was returned Alpha Trion eulogized him with the traditional liturgy of the Passing of the Primes. It was then Alpha Trion made Optimus's Prime rank official, rather than de facto.

After Optimus returned from purging Cybertron's core of Dark Energon, he began the construction of the Ark. He asked Alpha Trion if it would work, but the Archivist responded that if it didn't, the Autobots would die with Cybertron. At this point, despite Optimus's pleas, he was refusing his share of Energon, and refused a place on the Ark, explaining the planet would not permit him to die. He told the Autobots about the last functioning space bridge, during which he made a big giveaway about his identity, seemingly joking he was older than that space bridge and he still functioned. Alpha Trion oversaw the Ark's construction within the Well of All Sparks, while Optimus distracted Megatron aboard the Eight Track with a false exodus. With the city-sized ship completed, Alpha Trion reiterated he would not be coming, stating Vector Sigma would keep him alive. As Optimus boarded the ship, he realized his friend and mentor was one of the Original Thirteen. Exodus

Alpha Trion's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic "Transformers: War for Cybertron."

Alpha Trion remained in the Hall of Records after the departure of the Ark, curiously left alone to attend his duties as Archivist by Shockwave and his Decepticon forces. Alpha Trion received regular reports from Ultra Magnus and his Wreckers, the primary Autobot resistance force left on Cybertron. Alpha Trion remained concerned about his protégé, Optimus Prime, and his quest for the AllSpark and the final fates of the other Thirteen. He marveled at Wheeljack's suggestion of re-mastering the Space Bridge technology to send an Autobot after the Ark and learn how the mission was proceeding.

As Wheeljack's plot was set into motion, Alpha Trion was forced to deal with an ever-more brazen Shockwave, who began making appearances in the Hall of Records without the knowledge of the security detail appointed to protect it. Shockwave tried to cow Alpha Trion by calling him a traitor, but the wily ol' buzzard calmly retorted that he was far older than the Decepticon regime, and a traitor to nothing...he was a flat-out enemy of Shockwave's, simple as that. Taken aback by this show of defiance, Shockwave retreated from the Hall for the time being.

Shortly after he successfully launched a volunteer named Chaindrive through space-time towards the signals of the Matrix, Alpha Trion was officially "captured" by Shockwave and detained under house arrest in his quarters at the Hall of Records. Alpha Trion cared little for the change in circumstances, for he had convinced Shockwave to leave him his Quill and Covenant to continue archiving history as it came to him. The Covenant revealed to him signs that Nexus Prime and Vector Prime had both reappeared in the flow of history, if only briefly, and Alpha Trion was content with that for now. Exiles

As Shockwave's control over Iacon increased, Alpha Trion spent more and more time analyzing the Covenant. He foresaw a time when Shockwave would take him in for experimentation purposes, and prepared accordingly by safely locking away the crucial information Shockwave was looking for. Sure enough, Shockwave and a swarm of Insecticons arrived at his door, and Trion willingly gave himself up for arrest.

Shockwave took him to his latest tower, which he had constructed in the center of Iacon, and gloated to his prisoner that he had managed to interpret a section of the Covenant himself, and planned on using the power of the last Prime on Cybertron to access the true power of the Vector Sigma supercomputer and create a Decepticon Matrix. Shockwave tried and failed to integrate Trion into the computer, before realizing that Trion had locked the nessecary codes deep in his cortex. Shockwave resorted to his contingency plan- pumping the computer full of Dark Energon. Trion knew that Shockwave's reckless experimentation would alert the Quintessons to Vector Sigma's existence, but his warnings did nothing to dissuade Shockwave.

Alpha Trion was eventually rescued by Ultra Magnus and the other Wreckers, who extricated his unconscious body from Shockwave's lab and headed to the surface. Trion managed to stay lucid long enough to alert them to the impending Quintesson invasion before collapsing again. When the Sharkticon fleet arrived on Cybertron, a furious Shockwave- who thought that he could use the artifacts of the Primes to repel the aliens- confronted Alpha Trion, who calmly revealed that he had taken the precaution of jettisoning them from Cybertron so that Shockwave couldn't get his hands on them.

Trion then convinced the Wreckers to head to the Hall of Records; the archivist planned to rig the building to explode so that the Quintessons couldn't use Cybertron's accumulated knowledge against them. His plan was foiled by Tyrannicon, who jammed Trion's detonator. Before Tyrannicon could kill them, however, his own foot soldiers turned on their general, and Alpha Trion and the Wreckers managed to escape.

When the threat of the Quintesson invasion had passed, Alpha Trion resumed studying the Covenant, and idly wondered when Optimus and his crew would arrive on the planet where he had launched the many artifacts. Retribution

Alpha Trion was Orion Pax's mentor and was the one who requested that he become a Prime.

Alpha Trion also trusted Smokescreen enough to tell him about his involvement in making Orion a Prime. New Recruit

When the Iacon Hall of Records was attacked by Decepticons, the ancient Autobot sent the contents of the Iacon Hall of Records to a remote, seemingly unimportant planet named Earth, as the Covenant of Primus had foretold that an important chapter of the war against the Decepticons would be decided there, and Alpha Trion wished Optimus Prime to have these important artifacts at his disposal. Within the Star Saber relic, Alpha Trion sealed a message telling Optimus of the significance of the weapons he was sending. Alpha/Omega He also revealed the secret location of the Omega Lock. Regeneration However, when Alpha Trion was sending the final Omega Key relics, it was too late to send the final one into space. In an effort, perhaps desperate, to find an alternate solution, he dazed his pupil Smokescreen long enough to manifest the final Omega Key within him and thus used him as a means of keeping it safe.

There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.

Alpha Trion was one of the Primes, the first Transformers created by Primus. He participated in the war against the Quintessons, recording an urgent SOS message including his location into a beacon during the ill-fated last stand of the Primes. Unfortunately, the beacon containing Alpha Trion's message ended up lost in waste disposal, but a local disposal worker B-127 salvaged it and used it as a component to make an imaginary friend named "Steve." There the message remained for the next 50 cycles, until Orion Pax and D-16 were thrown into the disposal area B-127 worked in. Orion inadvertently discovered the beacon and activated the message, leading the three to believe it led to the location of the lost Matrix of Leadership and embark on a quest to discover it.

When the three bots (now joined by Elita-1) discovered the cave where the slain Primes lay, Orion found Alpha Trion buried under an immense amount of rock and unearthed him. Unlike the other Primes, Alpha Trion had in fact survived, but had gone into stasis lock for the cycles that followed. Orion placed a piece of energon provided by B-127 into Alpha Trion's mouth, reviving the old sage. Alpha Trion reacted violently at first, momentarily believing he was still in the midst of battle, but Orion was able to calm him down and bring him up to speed on the current state of affairs. However, when Orion mentioned Sentinel Prime, Alpha Trion was quick to point out that Sentinel was not a true Prime. Educating the quartet about Sentinel's treachery, he took them to an overgrown cliff where they watched Sentinel kneel before a Quintesson High Commander. Though the four younger bots were dismayed and dejected to learn the truth about Sentinel, Alpha Trion rallied them to action with some wise words, reminding them that they must inform the public of the truth and bequeathing them with the transformation cogs of four of the Primes.

Unfortunately, that was when Sentinel's enforcers discovered them and descended on the cave. Alpha Trion told the quartet to flee as he prepared to hold the line, informing Orion that this battle would have to be his so that Orion's time may come later. Though the Death Trackers mocked him and called him old, the ancient Prime was quick to remind them he still had some fight left in him by transforming into his beast mode and swiftly tearing them apart. However, a surprise attack from above by Airachnid caught him unaware, and a captured Alpha Trion was brought before Sentinel. Defiant even in captivity, Alpha Trion engaged in a battle of words against Sentinel, but Sentinel did not take kindly to the old sage exposing the truth with his speeches and killed Alpha Trion with his blade.

In death, Alpha Trion reunited with his brethren in the AllSpark. A vision of Alpha Trion among his fellow Primes later appeared to a heavily damaged Orion Pax as he fell into Cybertron's core, announcing that he had been chosen by Primus to carry the Matrix and lead Cybertron. As the power of the Matrix reformatted his body, Alpha Trion bestowed upon him the name Optimus Prime. One

A redecoed Lio Convoy was also considered by 3H for Alpha Trion around the same time, and it was sort of this version that briefly appeared in the comic book (see above). Though the toy mock-up used Snarl, 3H hoped they could finagle the use of the Lio Convoy mold. The wireframe appearance of "Alpha Lion" in The Wreckers #1 used Lio Convoy's body, but Snarl's head, hopefully allowing 3H to fudge either way, should they come to a decision. They didn't!

Timelines

I'm not evil! Honest!

• Alpha Trion / Weirdwolf (Souvenir two-pack, 2007)

• Accessories: Sword, missile, Cyber Key

The first actual toy of Alpha Trion (well, sorta, we'll get to that in a moment) is a retool of Cybertron Voyager Class Vector Prime, redecoed in purple, white, and red, plus a new head designed by Dan Khanna. He transforms into a large Cybertronian space cruiser with "solar panel" wings. His nosecone has a spring-loaded missile launcher at the tip. Inserting his Cyber Key (painted gold to resemble the Key to Vector Sigma) does not activate any sounds, unlike Vector Prime's toy. Alpha Trion has the more flexible translucent plastic parts (for safety reasons) of the Hasbro version of the mold. His starship mode also has a socket to snugly fit his pack-in partner Beta Maxx.

Released under the Timelines banner, he was only available in a bagged "souvenir set" with Beta Maxx and Weirdwolf at BotCon 2007, limited to 1400 pieces.

While this figure's design obviously derives from depictions of Generation 1 Alpha Trion, the accompanying profile card very vaguely describes the Shattered Glass incarnation of Alpha Trion. And roughly a year after its release, the Timelines fiction made the big reveal that yes, this was the villainous incarnation. For many years there was dispute as to whose page this toy should go on according to the wiki's classification system, but in 2013, this toy appeared in the Legends mobile game event "Golden Age", and thus this toy resumed having an entry on this page.

Generations (Japan)

Denied.

• Alpha Trin (Deluxe, 2015)

• Accessories: Presumably 2 handguns

A mock-up of a Japanese "Alpha Trin" toy in the form of a Generations Deluxe Class Scourge redeco was shown in Transformers Generations 2014 Volume 1 as one of ten potential exclusives for Vol. 2. In the fan poll held to determine which of the ten would be produced, Alpha Trion claimed 28.9% of the votes but ultimately came second place under Goshooter. The accompanying text notes that he would have come with a Vector Sigma accessory, presumably to be a golden redeco of Beast Wars Eggbot as seen in the volume's manga story, "Train Wars".

Kre-O

• Alpha Trion (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2014)

• Collection: 4
• Bag number: ***** 33
• Accessories: Stand brick, buildable sword/spear-thing
• Known designers: Ed Masiello (Hasbro)

Part of the fourth Collection of blind-bagged Kreon Micro-Changers, Kre-O Alpha Trion can be rebuilt from a humanoid to a starship seemingly based on the BotCon 2007 Alpha Trion toy (above). His vehicle-mode bits are rebuilt into a massive spear/sword/thing weapon for robot mode. His jet mode is the only Micro-Changer to fully remove the Kreon's arms in alternate mode.

He uses the Jazz helmet... which covers his eyes when pushed all the way down on the noggin.

This Collection was passed by most larger brick-and-mortar stores, appearing at Walgreens drug stores first and largely being relegated to similar outlets. Later releases of this wave lost the individual bag codes, meaning you either felt parts through the bag or buy blind.

There's always that one old guy who hangs out at school long after he graduated...

• Kreon Class of 1985 (Kreon figure set, 2015)

• Set number: B5152
• Voted: 800th Year Senior
• Accessories: Longsword

This version of Kreon Alpha Trion has more intricate, cartoon-accurate detailing, and uses the Age of Extinction Galvatron helmet. He also comes with the longsword accessory from the Kre-O Dungeons & Dragons series for... some reason.

He also uses the updated 2015-style Kreon body, making almost all of his parts incompatible with previous years' Kreons.

He was only available in the "Kreon Class of '85" 30-Kreon box set, a San Diego Comic-Con 2015 exclusive, also sold online through Hasbro Toy Shop following the convention.

Legends

So I'm basically Optimus Prime's brother and father figure?

• Ultra Magnus (Leader, 2015)

• ID number: LG-14
• Release date: September 9, 2015

The Legends release of Combiner Wars Leader Class Ultra Magnus includes a small Alpha Trion figure, which is a redeco of the Minimus Ambus figure (as Minimus does not appear in any Japanese-original fiction). He transforms into a Cybertronian hovercar, which can tab onto three grooves on the lower level of Magnus's trailer. In robot mode, Alpha Trion can sit inside Ultra Magnus's robot mode torso, "wearing" the Magnus head like a helmet.

Titans Return

Destined to be repurposed as Alpha Trizer.

• Autobot Sovereign & Alpha Trion (Voyager Class, 2016)

• Accessories: Sword, Sovereign Titan Master, Gun
• Known designers: John Warden (Hasbro), Emiliano Santalucia (concept artist), Marcelo Matere (packaging artist)

Titans Return Alpha Trion transforms from a robot to lion (in homage to his cancelled BotCon 2001 toy) to spaceship. His head transforms into the Titan Master Sovereign, although his neck socket is compatible with any other Titan Master figure. Both his alternate modes are references to Alpha Trion's previous BotCon toys. He comes with a gun that Sovereign can ride in spaceship mode. As with other Titans Return Voyager figures, pressing in his chest crystal makes his head adornments spring up to "bulk up" his head. In Canada and Australia, Alpha Trion along with his wavemate Astrotrain were prominent shelfwarmers, while finding Alpha Trion anywhere in the US was a great deal more difficult.

The Hasbro Asia exclusive giveaway sticker sheet can be used to enhance the figure's details.

This toy was repurposed as a body for Shattered Glass Alpha Trion. This mold was retooled into Legends Leo Prime and extensively retooled into Titans Return Broadside and Tidal Wave. The sword was redecoed into Legends Magna Convoy's Matrix Sword and Siege Nemesis Prime's Ancient Sword.

Power of the Primes

Legends, Titans Return, Power of the Primes. The trilogy is complete!

• Alpha Trion (Prime Master, 2018)

• TakaraTomy ID number: PP-32
• TakaraTomy release date: October 27, 2018
• Accessories: Landmine decoy armor, cannon
• Known designers: John Warden (Hasbro)

Power of the Primes Alpha Trion is a Prime Master with Landmine decoy armor, visually based on the original Pretender's shell. Alpha Trion/Landmine is a retool of Vector Prime/Metalhawk, with a new Prime Master sigil and decoy armor front.

This toy has identical features to the other Prime Masters in the line. The decoy armor has a weapon piece which can fold out to create a weapon mode, or detach and be held in the armor's 3 mm-compatible hand. The Titan Master-like robot can store inside the decoy armor or ride Legends Class figures in vehicle mode, and is fully compatible with toys from the previous Titans Return line. The "Power Swap" gimmick means its spark form can plug onto any decoy armor's weapon form (which has a 5 mm post to be held by larger figures), Deluxe Class figures' chest armor, Voyager Class figures' bucklers, Leader Class figures' Matrix (in place of their Matrix core), combiners' torsos (in place of their Enigma of Combination), or the Scepter of Sparks. With the power of your imagination, this bestows the Prime Master's unique power on the larger figure.

Quality control on the Landmine armor varies: many units' arm holes are slightly too small, warping the connector joints in-package and making the arms pop off when posing. Copies with normal-sized holes can be identified by viewing the package sideways to see whether the joints are warped. There have also been some reports of copies with just one flawed arm.

Cyberverse

Not content with merely stealing Thunderblast's kibble, Alpha Trion escalated to stealing her alternate mode. Next up, her credit card number.

• Alpha Trion (Ultra Class, 2019)

• Action Attack: "Laser Beam Blast"

Released in the fourth wave of Cyberverse Ultra class figures, Alpha Trion transforms into a Cybertronian starship. Pressing a button on the rear of the ship mode causes a molded on "Laser Beam Blast" effect to flip out of each wing. The mechanism does not lock in too well, so the laser blasts are prone to deploying all the time in this mode.

The flaps on his legs that form the spaceship nose are even more prone to popping off, especially when they get in the way of posing his limited legs. Alpha Trion only features outward moving articulation at his shoulders and hips, making his knees difficult to employ meaningfully, leaving his elbows as the only useful point of articulation. Just like a real old person.

Legacy

File:Legacy-A-Hero-Is-Born-Alpha-Trion.jpg

"Please, my son, he is very sick..."

• A Hero is Born (2-pack, 2022)

• Accessories: Rifle, Vector Sigma, Key to Vector Sigma, stand
• Known designers: Evan Brooks (Hasbro), Takio Ejima and Takashi Kunihiro (TakaraTomy), Lenny Panzica (initial concept)

Revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2022, Legacy Alpha Trion is a hefty retool of Studio Series Scourge, transforming into a Cybertronian hovercraft in 21 steps. This release uses new "wing" pieces in robot mode to resemble his cape from the original animation model; unfortunately, due to clearance issues with his new chest, those pieces do not fold up neatly into the vehicle mode undercarriage, so they just kind of sit there awkwardly and make him tilt forward when placed on a flat surface. Alpha Trion also utilizes the 5 mm post-compatible open-palm hands from both Scourge and his Sweep redeco/retool, rather than having either of those molds' asymmetrical open/closed hand arrangements.

Alpha Trion was only available in the "A Hero Is Born" two-pack with Orion Pax, as well as a Vector Sigma accessory and the Key to Vector Sigma. The set went up for pre-order during Pulse Con 2022, and began appearing at stores in Hong Kong shortly afterward.

Taiwanese fans who supported the HasLab Victory Saber project ended up getting the "A Hero Is Born" set instead (along with a full refund) after their Victory Sabers were severely water damaged during shipment and could not be delivered. No, this set is nowhere near as cool. Sorry?

Genderbent Twilight Sparkle.

• Alpha Trion (Prime Changers, 2024)

• TakaraTomy name: Deluxe Class Alpha Trion (デラックスクラス アルファトライオン)
• TakaraTomy ID number: OD-02
• TakaraTomy release date: 2024 July 13
• Accessories: Energon tail whip, Energon dagger/horn

Released as part of the Transformers One Prime Changers line, Alpha Trion is roughly Deluxe Class-sized and is cast almost entirely in pearlescent plastic, and almost all of his paint applications (except on his weapons) use metallic or glittery paint. He transforms from a robot to a horned lion in 15 steps with his tail and horn being wielded as weapons in robot mode. They can be stored inside the "cape" formed from the halves of his beast-mode head. There is a 3 mm flight stand port on the back of his pelvis, though it is blocked off in beast mode by his tail.

Neither giant nor a griffin, but it'll have to do.

• Alpha Trion (Robot Battlers, 2024)

• Accessories: Energon tail whip, Energon dagger/horn, base

Released as part of the Robot Battlers line, Alpha Trion transforms from a robot into a robotic horned lion. Instead of an Energon sword like other Robot Battlers, Alpha Trion's weapons are his detachable tail and horn. The figure can be placed on a base to perform action moves by sliding the finger slots to knock an opponent's figure off of their base.

• Cybertron Rush Battle: Hero-tachi no Tatakai (サイバトロンラッシュバトル ヒーローたちの戦い, 2024)

• Accessories: Energon tail whip, Energon dagger/horn

The Robot Battlers Alpha Trion was released in Japan as part of the Cybertron Rush "Battle of Heroes" 3-pack with Bumblebee and Sentinel Prime, but does not come with his base.

Super Collection Figure

You better believe people were excited for this in 2002.

• Alpha Trin (2002)
  • Act: 8
  • Accessories: Stand

The first "toy" of Alpha Trion ever made, this three-inch-tall PVC figurine was available in "Act 8" of Takara's Super Collection Figure line. Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full-color figure and a metallic-silver "pewter" version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.

The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms; shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue.

Additionally, the pewter version of Alpha Trion came packaged with the left leg of the Scorponok collectible "build-a-figure".

EX Gōkin

You'd be scolding young 'bots too if you had a pole in your aft...

• Alpha Trin (2014)
  • Accessories: Two fists, two open hands, two gripping hands, right pointing hand, A-3 head, two A-3 shoulders, display stand

Produced by Art Storm as part of their EX Gōkin line, this Alpha Trion is a 6-inch tall posable figure based on his cartoon character model. He comes with a plethora of extra hands and has an articulated cape that splits in two pieces for easier posing. Alpha Trion can (sort of) be turned into his younger self, A-3, by use of an alternate head based on his appearance in "War Dawn" and two smaller, spike-less shoulderpads.

ReAction

• Alpha Trion (2020)

Released in the second wave of Super7's line of multi-property 3.75-inch "retro" action figures, ReAction Alpha Trion is a non-converting 3 3/4-inch action figure based on his appearance in the original cartoon, with 5 points of articulation (swivel neck, shoulders, hips) and holes in his feet for use with some variety of stand. Unlike most releases in this line, he lacks an accessory (but both of his hands are open to enable him to hold one), but he does have a thin vinyl cape which is not removable (at least, not without breaking it).

As with all releases in the ReAction toyline, Alpha Trion comes packaged on a small cardback that emulates the nostalgic packaging style of Kenner's Star Wars action figures from the late 1970s to early '80s.

Notes

Notes

Generation 1 continuity family

Once you go white, you'll never, er... be right?

• Alpha Trion is one of the very few Cybertronians to show signs of aging and hair growth.
• According to a timeline in the January 1987 issue of Comic Bom Bom, A-3 was the first successful robot by Vector Sigma, A-1 and A-2 being failures. However, the presence of Cybertronians within the Matrix of Leadership older than Alpha Trion (as seen in "The Return of Optimus Prime") makes the actual canonicity of this questionable.
• Alpha Trion may be named after the Triple-Alpha Process, the method through which carbon is created, which in turn is the reason (human) life came to be. Given that Alpha Trion essentially "created" Optimus Prime, who in turn formed the Autobots, this is actually quite fitting.
• Alpha Trion had a hover-craft alternate mode designed for his appearance in The Transformers: Ironhide, but ultimately didn't end up transforming in that mini-series. The vehicle mode was first revealed in the trade paperback's extras, and would eventually be used in-continuity as part of a flashback sequence in "The Mind Bomb" and in the Transformers Legends episode "Megatron Origins".

Robots in Disguise (2001) continuity family

• Alpha Trion is a character that was added to the dialogue of the 2001 Robots in Disguise cartoon and is not present in the Car Robots version of the show, with Vector Sigma instead being said to have directly created Fire Convoy and God Magnus.
• In the Italian dub, Alpha Trion is described as female.

Aligned continuity family

• Alpha Trion was shown at BotCon 2010 to be purple and bearded like his counterparts, but it was also shown he has a halo. Taking the analogy a bit far, Hasbro...
• Alpha Trion's overall fate is uncertain; the DVD commentary for "Rebellion" seems to assert that Trion had died at some point before the episode, although this was never mentioned in the show's dialogue itself, leaving it a case of authorial intent. The Covenant of Primus has Alpha Trion describing later episodes all the way up to Predacons Rising, meaning that he had somehow remained alive or somehow managed to update the Covenant from beyond the grave.

Movie continuity family

• "Rock Me Alpha Trion" is a reference to the song "Rock Me Amadeus" by Falco.

One film

• Alpha Trion's alternate mode being a leonine beast with a unicorn-esque horn is a direct homage to the Titans Return Voyager Class toy, itself inspired by the cancelled BotCon Deluxe Class toy.
• Alpha Trion is the only member of the Primes to not have gold accents.
