| The name or term "Zarak" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Zarak (disambiguation). |
- Majin Zarak is a mechanoid from the Beast Era of the Generation 1 continuity family.
From what dark depths of history the lumbering behemoth Majin Zarak (マジンザラック Majin Zarakku) was born, we may never know. Who built him, why they built him and if Majin Zarak flipped out and ate everybody, we may also never know. But there's a pretty good chance he did that last part.
Majin Zarak is a notorious monster, feared by his Maximal adversaries and prized by his Predacon masters. This titanic killing machine is capable of storming the battlefield from both land and sea, thanks to his amphibious aircraft carrier alt mode. The energy weapons and armaments that outfit his gargantuan robot mode can clear said battlefield in seconds with a total scorched earth policy.
Ultimately, Majin Zarak is a rebellious creature who will defy his masters when possible. He also has a weakpoint on his forehead, making him vulnerable to anybody who has ever played a video game before.
Fiction
Beast Wars II cartoon
When a mysterious space-time-warping device crash-landed on the Planet Gaea, the Maximals, led by Lio Convoy, and the Predacons, led by Galvatron, raced to be the first to get it. The Predacons got there first and accidentally used its power to summon the mighty Majin Zarak from Cybertron's past to aid them in battle.
To counter the threat of the nigh-invincible Majin Zarak, the Maximals summoned Optimus Primal from the Beast Wars of Energoa. Majin Zarak had no trouble defeating the likes of the Maximals due to his massive size, virtual invulnerability and plethora of devastating attacks. Much to Galvatron's dismay, though, Majin Zarak ultimately betrayed his master and went on a rampage.
In the end, the Maximals discovered his weakpoint was the third eye on his forehead, which was where all his nerve-endings were clustered. Lio Convoy and Optimus Primal used the combined power of their individual Energon Matrices to transform themselves into Flash Lio Convoy and Burning Convoy. Together, they unleashed the power of their Matrices into a combined attack called the "Double Matrix Blast". The blast struck Majin Zarak in his third eye, killing him on the spot. Lio Convoy in Imminent Danger!
Notes
- Majin is a Japanese word, which is usually written as "魔神" (lit. "Demonic God") or "魔人" (lit. "Demonic human") in kanji.
- Galvatron was, in fact, trying to find someone else with the time gate and only summoned Majin Zarak by accident when Gigastorm fouled up the frequency calculations. The being they were actually looking for was Megatron, although it is unclear whether they were after Beast Wars Megatron or Generation 1 Megatron. In any case, Galvatron viewed Majin Zarak's appearance as a thoroughly happy accident, declaring that "we obtained a weapon superior to Megatron".
- Although there is no apparent connection, Majin Zarak shares part of his name with some other dudes called Zarak, most of whom have something to do with the Headmaster Scorponok.
