 Plot details for Transformers One (film) follow. |
Alpha Trion was one of the Thirteen, the first Transformers created by Primus. He participated in the war against the Quintessons, recording an urgent SOS message including his location into a beacon during the ill-fated last stand of the Primes. Unfortunately, the beacon containing Alpha Trion's message ended up lost in waste disposal, but local disposal worker B-127 salvaged it and used it as a component to make an imaginary friend named "Steve." There the message remained for the next 50 cycles, until Orion Pax and D-16 were thrown into the disposal area B-127 worked in. Orion inadvertently discovered the beacon and activated the message, leading the three to believe it led to the location of the lost Matrix of Leadership and embark on a quest to discover it.
When the three bots (now joined by Elita-1) discovered the cave where the slain Primes lay, Orion found Alpha Trion buried under an immense amount of rock and unearthed him. Unlike the other Primes, Alpha Trion had in fact survived, but had gone into stasis lock for the cycles that followed. Orion placed a piece of energon provided by B-127 into Alpha Trion's mouth, reviving the old sage. Alpha Trion reacted violently at first, momentarily believing he was still in the midst of battle, but Orion was able to calm him down and bring him up to speed on the current state of affairs. However, when D-16 mentioned Sentinel Prime, Alpha Trion was quick to point out that Sentinel was not a true Prime. Educating the quartet about Sentinel's treachery, he took them to an overgrown cliff where they watched Sentinel kneel before a Quintesson prosecutor. Though the four younger bots were dismayed and dejected to learn the truth about Sentinel, Alpha Trion rallied them to action with some wise words, reminding them that they must inform the public of the truth and bequeathing them with the transformation cogs of four of the Primes.
Unfortunately, that was when Sentinel's enforcers discovered them and descended on the cave. Alpha Trion told the quartet to flee as he prepared to hold the line, informing Orion that this battle would have to be his so that Orion's time may come later. Though the Death Trackers mocked him and called him old, the ancient Prime was quick to remind them he still had some fight left in him by transforming into his beast mode and swiftly tearing them apart. However, a surprise attack by Airachnid from above caught him unawares, and a captured Alpha Trion was brought before Sentinel. Defiant even in captivity, Alpha Trion engaged in a battle of words against Sentinel, but Sentinel did not take kindly to the old sage exposing the truth with his speeches and killed Alpha Trion with his blade.
A vision of Alpha Trion among his fellow Primes later appeared to a heavily damaged Orion Pax as he fell into Cybertron's core, announcing that he had been chosen by Primus to carry the Matrix and would be reborn as Optimus Prime. One
