Darksyder

This article is about the Beast Wars: Uprising organization. For the Beast Wars starship, see Darksyde (BW).

The Darksyders are a group from the Beast Wars: Uprising portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Darksyders are the leading criminal organization on Cybertron. In an act of sheer brazenness that is pretty typical of their founder, they're based right out of Iacon, the very seat of Builder control. Their members include:

• Megatron (leader)
• Scorponok
• Terrorsaur (former Kospego)
• Scavenger (former Kospego)
• Cryotek (former Minion of Unicron)
• Doom-Lock
• Gredator
• Psychobat
• Packrat (former Minion of Unicron)
• Overbite (former Minion of Unicron)
• Brimstone (former Destron Boy)
• Wasp
• Labrat
• Crow-con Boy
• Gnash
• Tarantulas

Fiction

Beast Wars: Uprising

Optimus Primal led his team of Maximals against the Darksyders; in the ensuing conflict, Rhinox and Silverbolt were killed. Alone Together: Prologue

The Darksyder's Beast Upgrade spread like wildfire across the planet, making their front corporation, Darksyder, Inc. very wealthy. Cultural Appropriation

During the Vehicon Apocalypse, the Darksyder's main headquarters in Iacon came under attack, though thanks to all the money they'd acquired from the Beast Upgrade, Megatron had been able to upgrade his base enough to weather them long enough for Leatherhide and Labrat to finish work on the Esau device, which protected them from the monstrosities by converting poor Wasp into a half-Vehicon form. In the aftermath, with their sheer wealth and influence, the Darksyders became part of the newly formed Cybertronian Parliament, with the addition of a new member, Predacon Secret Police castaway Tarantulas.

Notes

• The Darksyders' name is, obviously, a reference to the Predacon starship from the Beast Wars cartoon.
• Scavenger escaped his universe along with fellow Predacon Immorticon. It is ambiguous if Immorticon is a member of the Darksyders or not.
