Xeon

This article is about the corrupt politician. For the wily old Autobot, see Xaaron.

Xeon is a Neutral from the Generation 1 continuity family.

A careless, money-grubbing character named "Xeon"... Oh yeah, very classy.

Emirate Xeon is a Transformer politician who would make any extortionist proud. Living prior to the war, Xeon both enabled and instigated the uprising of the Decepticons. Megatron paid him off to look the other way while holding his underground arena combat, his torture pits, and his branding ceremonies. In the end, Emirate Xeon got in over his head and lost it, literally.

Fiction

Dreamwave comics continuity

He should have quit while he was ahead. Ha ha. Ha.

Emirate Xeon was a politician in Kaon who was continually paid off by Megatron's group to not report their underground activities. The War Within #3 He showed up in person to collect his bribes from Starscream while the latter was having an argument with Grimlock. The War Within Preview

When the Decepticons were ready, Megatron had Xeon killed, and went so far as to claim the Emirate's death as the spur for starting the Great War. His severed head was placed on Megatron's throne in the Cradle as a decoration. Or maybe an Energon cookie jar, considering the way Ravage looked at it. The War Within #2

Notes

• Xeon's skull on display is reminiscent of what happened to Bludgeon in the Generation 2 comic.
• Likely, if Megatron Origin would have been published by Dreamwave as originally planned, it would have featured Xeon instead of Ratbat.
