Fractyl is a Predacon in Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity
From the moment he emerged from his stasis pod, Fractyl has been more concerned with studying the stange planet's surplus Energon than battling Maximals. Though Megatron tries to force him to be a warrior, it's no use -- Fractyl is an excellent geochemist but is, more often than not, a liability in battle.
Despite his shortcomings, Fractyl tries hard to gain the respect and admiration of his fellow Predacons, often to the detriment of the team.
Fiction
3H Tales Of The Beast Wars
Critical Mass
Fractyl was first introduced in the 1997 Botcon exclusive story "Critical Mass."
In "Critical Mass," Fractyl discovered a new form of energy, which he named Furmanite and claimed that it could be used as an energon armor, shielding a transformer from the effects of the Energon without the need of a beast mode. Instead of running more tests, he impulsively used it on himself, making sure it would work before presenting it to Megatron. Before he could bring it to Megatron, however, the Furmanite was stolen by the Maximal Packrat. Fractyl soon discovered Furmanite is actually anti-energon, a substance that could destroy the entire planet if it is exposed to high concentrations of energon. Fractyl risked both an encounter with the Maximals and the wrath of Megatron to catch Packrat before he went boom. He was able to reason with the Maximals and remove the Furmanite from Packrat and even managed to make it look to the Predacons that he had driven off the Maximals single-handedly. Go Fractyl.
Visitations
Voice actor: Doug Parker
Fractyl was also featured in the 1998 tongue-in-cheek script reading, "Visitations." Fractyl and Vice Grip attacked Packrat and Onyx Primal. After being driven off when Maximal reinforcements arrived, the two Predacons decided to go to a local bar and get drunk on mech fluid.
Universe: The Wreckers
Fractly was included in the 3H Wreckers comics, though he didn't do much besides get beaten up. Fractyl tagged along with Primal Prime, Rodimus and Spittor to try and coax Arcee out of her sulking emo phase. He was killed by Blastcharge, but saved by Arcee and the power of love (© Huey Lewis and the News). Fractyl later showed up in his shiny new body and payed Blastcharge back by slicing him in half.
His victory was short-lived, though, as he was critically injured soon after by Devcon in the cargo hold of a shuttle. Fractyl and combat don't mix. With no medic on board, Apelinq created a drone called CatSCAN to fill in. Fractyl was put into stasis and was presumably left on Archa Nine with his fellow injured Predacon Rotorbolt under the care of CatSCAN and Glyph.
Toys
Beast Wars
- Fractyl
- Fractyl is a green, gray, and gold redeco of the original Basic-class Terrorsaur, transforming into a large organic pterodactyl with a spring-loaded one-step transformation to robot mode. His green plastic was given a sparkly sheen to simulate the "energon armor" effect from the accompanying comic book. He came packaged with Packrat and was sold exclusively at BotCon 1997.
- The same mold was used for Hydra, Lazorbeak and Terranotron.
The Wreckers
- Fractyl's transmetal form was shown at Botcon 2001 as a hand-painted prototype but was never produced either as a general release or as a convention exclusive.
- The same mold was used for Terrorsaur. This mold was later redecoed and slightly retooled to make Beast Machines Terranotron, and then redecoed and retooled differently to make Armada Terrorsaur. The mold was also the base model for the non-toy character Ravenus.
