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.

Leviathan underestimated the Riser as he was still able to fire a round at her knee, causing her to collapse atop the criminal and pin him underneath her own weight. While the other Risers fled amidst the chaos, Novastar stayed behind to get medical attention for Leviathan. Prisoners
Despite this promise, Megatron's sudden coup threw he planet into chaos and Leviathan was forgotten for several cycles until Wheeljack and Hoist found her out in the wilderness and invited her to join their Darkmount-bound refugee convoy. A group of A'ovan children played on her superstructure until Nautica told them to leave.
