Leviathan (G1)
| This article is about the character. For the vehicle, see Leviathan (starship). |
- Leviathan is a Transformer from the 2019 IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Though her size may be comparable to the Titans, Leviathan is no different from any other Transformer, save for her chosen occupation, harvesting metal from Cybertron's surface so that it can be used in the forging of new Cybertronians. She is afflicted by mode attachment, unwilling to transform into robot mode unless the situation is absolutely life-or-death.

After hearing the chaos of the geologists dodging blaster fire from the Rise, however, Leviathan exasperatedly transformed to robot mode and crawled out of the fissure. Tremors
Joining the fray, Leviathan's gargantuan size and strength quickly turned the tide of the battle in favour of Novastar's team, managing to grab Quake's tank mode in her hands and slam him to the ground. Leviathan underestimated the Riser as he was still able to fire a round at her knee, causing her to collapse atop the criminal, pinning him down. The sight of this caused the other Risers to flee, Novastar overriding pursuit in favour of other priorities, getting medical attention for Leviathan among them. Prisoners
Leviathan, with her optics rendered non-functional, was eventually transferred to Hoist's care, joining the A'ovan evacuee convoy that made for Darkmount.
