Apex Armor (Thirteen)

This article is about the legendary armor from Aligned. For the armor from Generation 1, see Apex Armor (G1).

Solus Prime was able to build this in a CAVE! With a box of SCRAPS!

The Apex Armor is one of the relics of the Thirteen (or an armor of Decepticon design; it depends on who you ask). Judging by the name, it's probably not the worst set of armor you could find. While normally compacted in a disk, when placed over a Transformer's chest it will expand into a huge set of armor able to withstand any attacks, from blasters, bombs or melee weapons. It doesn't give you the ability to transform, though, and it's heavy enough for one to walk over the ocean floor.

Fiction

Exiles

The Apex Armor was created by Solus Prime. Long after, while waiting for the Autobots on Cybertron, Alpha Trion had a few daydreams about Optimus Prime returning with the relic, as well as the AllSpark and other lost and legendary treasures. Exiles

The Apex Armor was hidden in the Antarctic, where a human research team found it and took it back to their base. Later it was discovered by Starscream, who took it for his own while Optimus Prime and Dreadwing were fighting each other over it. He pulled it from the ice it was encased in and identified it as armor of Decepticon design. When he placed the roughly disc shaped object to his chest it expanded over him into a full body armor that towered over both Optimus and Dreadwing. It proved to be a very powerful weapon, allowing him to survive two attacks by Optimus Prime and Dreadwing. It was impervious to Dreadwing's sword and energy blasts only served to stagger him. He had heightened strength, but the armor did not have any weapons, nor did it restore his ability to transform. Triangulation
