Paralon (RID)

This article is about the Robots in Disguise Decepticon. For the Beast Wars: Uprising Predacon, see Paralon (BW).

Paralon is a Decepticon from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family

He took his shades off when he came indoors.

Paralon has something to prove. As a member of the Scavengers, a clan of Decepticon relic hunters, he's looking to find his next big score before somebody else can beat him to it and steal the glory that's rightfully his. To this end, he'll do just about anything to gain a reputation, even brutalize his own kind to get what he wants. Recently, he's been working with Buzzstrike, who has some pretty mysterious abilities and a powerful axe mode that he uses to his advantage.

Fiction

2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon

Voice actor: Jason Spisak (English), ??? (Japanese), Diego Sabre (Italian)

After torturing another Decepticon to get a map of Autobot Outpost Omega One, Paralon headed with Buzzstrike with the intention of salvaging any Cybertronian artifacts they could find. Setting up a bomb so they could break into the lower levels, the pair commenced searching the upper levels. They were discovered by Bumblebee and Sideswipe, leading Paralon to convince the reluctant Buzzstrike to link with him so they could fight the two Autobots. They managed to defeat the pair, along with Drift and his Mini-Con students, and Paralon opted to accelerate the countdown on the bomb and headed outside where he discovered a weapon half-buried in rubble. Sideswipe caught up with them and in the ensuing fight, Paralon was rendered unconscious. When he came to, he was furious to find Buzzstrike had sleep-walked him a safe distance from the base and hadn't even recovered the weapon. History Lessons

He'll sting you with his dreams of power and wealth! Beware of Scorpio!

• Paralon (Clash of the Transformers Warrior Class, 2016)
  • Accessories: Sword

Part of a new wave of Toys"R"Us exclusive Clash of the Transformers Warrior figures, Paralon is a redeco and retool of Scorponok, and transforms from a purple scorpion to robot and back. Whilst his package art depicts his on-screen head (albeit missing its visor), the actual toy's new head is instead sculpted in homage to Beast Wars Scorponok's cartoon appearance.

Despite being a retool of Scorponok, Paralon showed up in stores way before him.

The toy was released in Japan as a Toys"R"Us exclusive under the name "Scavenger", in modified packaging (that still reads "Paralon" in English) and with the usual Takara-style sticker replacing the Hasbro one.
