Toxitron (G1)
| The name or term "Toxitron" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Toxitron (disambiguation). |
- Toxitron is a Decepticon turned Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Toxitron was a nobody, discovered by Shockwave at the Sea of Rust. Shockwave promised Toxitron "gifts" which would give him power, but the modifications failed. Toxitron instead became a living weapon, exuding poison every conscious moment. He was eventually forgotten after others successfully benefited from Shockwave's upgrades. Toxitron now vows to take revenge on those Shockwave considers more "perfect".
Fiction
Of Masters and Mayhem
Vivisector and Oil Slick were trying to create a combiner when instead they made a subject that constantly produced noxious, toxic acid and could heal most wounds. Like the bastards they were, they implanted a stasis implant that would leave "Toxitron" paralysed and stewing in hate when they didn't want him used; this mean when he was let off the leash, he would be many times more vicious. The icing on the cake was giving him Optimus Prime's face.
His first known attack was on the remnants of an Autobot force led by Spin-Out, where Toxitron was 'taken prisoner' and then wiped out the soldiers. His second was attacking a factory making the Ark engines, where he used the transponder from Spin-Out's rotting head to sneak in and went on to throw down with Jetfire. In each place he was used, he would especially loathe any Autobot whose armor was "too shiny".
The mad scientists got complacent and when the primary stasis implant melted, they assumed Toxitron was too conditioned to have realised it. Instead, the mutant was just waiting until a resupply ship arrived at the lab and then he broke free, butchered his tormentors in a very nasty way, and almost reached the ship to escape before the secondary implant kicked in. After that, the lab was abandoned. Toxitron stood immobile and alone until, after Thunder Mayhem had destroyed Cybertron, the Wreckers came to recruit him for a revenge mission. He'd been tortured into being a monster and now Impactor, who openly said he didn't care what Toxie had done as long as he helped fight, was offering him a chance to belong but only to a group of monsters. Toxitron found that bloody funny and agreed to join. The Toxic Transformer
