Fiction

IDW comics continuity

Corata-Vaz was one of three planetoids being used by the Ark's original crew to house Nega-Cores. These devices would have accelerated the expansion of the Dead Universe, and Nemesis Prime's reign over all that existed. Cyclonus was on his way to Corata-Vaz to activate the Nega-Core when he let himself get sidetracked attacking the Ark-12. Ultra Magnus and Hound's team chased Cyclonus to his destination, and almost prevented him from activating the Core and its guardian, Thunderwing. Spotlight: Cyclonus Although he was conditioned only to act as a watchdog, and not pursue the Autobot invaders so long as they stayed clear of the Nega-Core, Thunderwing mindlessly held off any attempt to breach his defenses. Even the arrival of the Wreckers did nothing to help the Autobots reach the Nega-Core. Spotlight: Hardhead Finally, Jetfire conceived of reviving the Axis Cradle technology used by Bludgeon to control Thunderwing in the past. Spotlight: Doubledealer His efforts were successful, allowing the Wreckers enough time to move past Thunderwing into the cave on Corata-Vaz where the Nega-Core was being housed. Jhiaxus interrupted his control, however, and the Wreckers found themselves with positions reserved -- now THEY were trying to keep Thunderwing OUT, so that the Jumpstarters could manipulate the Space Bridge controls and dump the Nega-Cores back into the Dead Universe before it was too late. In the end they were successful, and the Nega-Core was removed from Corata-Vaz. Spotlight: Sideswipe
