Virulina
- Virulina is a Darkling Lord from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Virulina was once a follower of Darkstorm, but new worlds bring new challenges and the need for fresh leadership. In the wake of her ex-commander's passing, Virulina has stepped up as the next leader of the Darkling Lords, taking the soft-spoken Cindarr as an impromptu advisor in her schemes.
Ambitious, driven, and determined, Virulina balks at the prospect of eking out a subterranean life on a world ruled by towering mechanoids. As far as she's concerned, Cybertron is hers to take and colonize, and though the Transformers might outnumber her people a thousand to one, a little Prysmosian magic might shift the fragile balance of power....
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity family
On Prysmos, Virulina was a Darkling Lord and a follower of Darkstorm, eagerly spearheading the schism that split them off from the Spectral Knights. When Prysmos was destroyed due to the gravitational forces of the planet's three suns, she was one of the few survivors who fled the doomed world, leaving Darkstorm to his fate. Decades later, Merklynn recreated a portion of their homeworld beneath the surface of Cybertron, and Virulina and the other "Visionaries"" took up residence in New Prysmos. A few weeks after arriving, she attended a meeting as the Visionaries debated what to do about the Cybertronians controlling the planet; Virulina being firmly in favor of annihilating them all in the name of Prysmosian sovereignty.
Arguing with Leoric as they left the meeting hall, they ran into Cybertronian representatives Kup and Ironhide, though opening diplomatic overtures went down poorly. At the negotiating table, Virulina eventually grew tired of the Cybertronian's terms, arguing that her people didn't need the authorization of the Council of Worlds to live their lives. After storming out of thhe room, she met with Cindarr, who passed on a rumor that one of the Cybertronians had been gravely wounded after exposure to a surge of Talisman energy.
At the next diplomatic meeting, a peeved Ironhide revealed news that the Talisman was now burrowing towards Vector Sigma at the core of the planet to complete its mission to remake Cybertron; when Virulina revealed that she knew that this would happen, Ironhide threw aside the table to get at her, prompting Virulina to deploy a magical spear. At the last second, Kup threw himself in her path, and the surge of magical energy intended for Ironhide disintegrated the old Autobot on the spot. Schismatic
