Millions of years ago, when the Autobot/Decepticon war was new, the capital city of Iacon was under assault, prompting the Council of Autobot Elders to contemplate surrender. Emirate Xaaron refused, suggesting that bureaucratic mismanagement of the Autobot army was the real culprit. He nominated a single warrior to take direct control of the Autobot forces -- Optimus Prime!
After Optimus Prime, Megatron, and countless other combatants were lost to Earth, the Decepticon warlord Trannis rose into power. Xaaron created an assault team, the Wreckers, to assassinate Trannis, but when they succeeded, one warlord was merely replaced by another.
Trivia
- Emirate Xaaron's name is a misnomer. Emirate is not a title, but a word that describes a place. The proper usage would be Emir Xaaron.
- Emirate Xaaron was one Marvel UK conceit that writer Simon Furman quickly brought over when he began writing for Marvel US. In the translation, however, Xaaron lost all his colors except for the yellow.
- Emirate Xaaron is one of two Transformers who has served as a yellow-glowing avatar for Primus. The other is Mini-Con Jolt from Cybertron.
