Antagony (BW)
- Antagony is a Predacon from the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The mysterious future-Predacon Antagony is the Herald Maximo of the fearsome Predacon warlord Shokaract, second only to Shokaract himself. She is utterly ruthless and without a shred of pity or mercy, and harbors a secret death-feud against the upstart Predacon Cataclysm who threatens her position. Though utterly loyal to Shokaract, she will do anything short of open revolt to make sure she remains the Herald Maximo. Antagony's armor makes her virtually invulnerable to pain and it has been speculated that she enjoys inflicting it so much just so she can attempt to understand the utterly alien sensation.

The time-traveling Antagony described herself as Megatron's doom, his destruction, and his worst enemy. Megatron naturally assumed this meant she was Raksha. Antagony corrected this misunderstanding. Visitations

Antagony was not an agent of Shokaract from the future as she believes at all, but in reality was an experimental creation of the Vok sent through various realities by those enigmatic aliens to cause trouble and test the limits of the Cybertronian organism. Beast Wars Sourcebook 1
Meanwhile, Antagony is a herald of Shokaract and ultimately, Unicron. When the vessel for Unicron's return engaged the Maximals in battle, Antagony and the other heralds distributed Angolmois energy capsules amongst Cybertron's population in an effort to sow dissent and chaos. The heralds were defeated and ultimately fled when Magmatron pulled Shokaract into limbo and convinced him to destroy himself to prevent Unicron's victory. The Ascending issue 4
