- Acroyear is a Micronaut from the Generation 1 continuity family
Acroyear is one of many genetically engineered super-warriors. Part of the "first generation," he escaped destruction, unlike the rest of his ilk, with the help of Oz Rael and joined his crew of Micronauts. Acroyear is able to summon a powerful sword from subspace, as well as activate turbine-powered wings.
In some universes, Acroyear is actually a title passed down to a prince in ancient armor.
Fiction
Unit:E comic
After being sent out into space by his father and slumbering for most of his journey, Acroyear was awakened from cryogenic sleep by Biotron and Synergy. Though confused at first, Acroyear was reminded that he was searching for allies against Baron Karza, which Synergy believed she had found on the planet Earth. Though Acroyear scoffed at many of the potential candidates Synergy presented to him as viable allies, Synergy insisted on their abilities, noting that if he did his work right, the mysterious Unit:E would find him. While he still believed Earth's heroes to be too frail, Acroyear remembered his father's urgings to embrace his role and donned his armor, declaring they had "heroes to gather!" Unit:E
IDW Generation 1 continuity
While Scarlett expressed her worry about what other forces could appear on Earth following Optimus Prime's activities, Acroyear and the Micronauts were in the middle of a battle. Secret Raiders
Notes
- The Acroyear shown in the Unit:E comic resembles the Marvel Comics incarnation of the character, being alien royalty clad in armor.
- The IDW Acroyear being a mass-produced warrior for Baron Karza is a reference to the original Micronauts toy being the enemy of the Micronauts.
