- Dark Nova is a weird alien thingy from the Battlestars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family who later becomes Star Giant.
Dark Nova is a mysterious supernatural entity from outer space who sides with the Decepticons against the Autobots. Known as the "Ultimate Emperor", he revived Galvatron, upgrading him into Super Megatron, and later merged with him to become the Star Giant. He commands armies of Novaroid drones and Galaman troopers, which make up the bulk of his forces.
(Note: the English name "Star Giant" is actually translated from the original Japanese, "Sei no Kyojin", and is written in kanji.)
Fiction
Battlestars manga and story pages
Little is known about the origin of Dark Nova; however, he was a very powerful supernatural entity who favored the Decepticons. Using his vast powers, he revived Optimus Prime's body without a Spark, resulting in the evil False Convoy. False Convoy was eventually subdued by the Autobots, the Zodiac placed in his chest, reviving him as Star Convoy.
To counter the threat of Star Convoy, Dark Nova did one better. Recovering the frozen corpse of Galvatron from its icy grave in the North Pole (where Galvatron met his fate during Headmasters), Dark Nova used his talents to resurrect and upgrade Galvatron into Super Megatron. Super Megatron then lead the Decepticons forces (including a legion of Galaman and Novaroid drone warriors) into battle against the Autobots.
Eventually, Star Convoy defeated Super Megatron, resulting in Dark Nova providing another upgrade; this time into Ultra Megatron. Ultra Megatron was ultimately defeated, as well. Irritated, Dark Nova merged with Ultra Megatron, resulting in the Star Giant. He proved nearly indestructible from the outside, so Star Convoy, Grandus and Sky Garry allowed themselves to be eaten. Inside the Star Giant's tummy, they began tearing him apart. After doing a fatal amount of damage, the trio escaped just as Star Giant detonated. The only piece of Star Giant which survived the explosion was a portion of his head, which happened to be housing the remains of Ultra Megatron, allowing the Emperor of Destruction to survive.
Trivia
- The first Battlestars toy catalogue featured a very short text story (with pictures) depicting Dark Nova as an ominous spectral figure looking very much like Unicron. However, none of the text boxes in the story so much as mentioned the name "Unicron", and the actual Battlestars magazine story pages and manga made no connection to Unicron what-so-ever. This leads many to wonder whether Dark Nova is actually connected to Unicron or if it was just an early concept dropped from the actual fiction. Interestingly, the Star Giant suffers a fate almost identical to Unicron's. Coincidence or creative bankruptcy?
- Dark Nova's robot mode never appeared in any of the Battlestars manga or story pages. Instead, it was featured only in the second toy catalogue, and in a very itty bitty picture, at that.
