- Straxus is a Decepticon from the Animated continuity family
This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.
Don't mess with Straxus. Seriously. I mean it. Actually, try to avoid being anywhere near him, period. He's one of those mechs who don't handle power well. And power, he's got a lot. As Lord High Governor of the Decepticon colony planet Lucifer, he uses his position, bulky frame and ample weaponry to make the life of his subjects a living hell - As literally as he can manage. Less so on the "living" part, actually.
Fiction
The AllSpark Almanac, Volume II
Straxus was present at the final battle of the Great War, presumably leading some of Megatron's troops into defeat. However, he can't have done such a terrible job, seeing as he was later rewarded with governorship of one of the distant colonies of the re-vitalized Decepticon empire. Unless he shot someone in the back to get the job. Which he would probably do without batting an optic. If optics can be, uh, bat.

Notes
- Straxus' biographical data - as little as there is of it - is provided by Strika. When even Strika thinks that someone is a tyrant.... Hoo boy.
- Straxus obviously originates from the Marvel continuity. Interestingly, the character had not been used for over twenty years when, over the course of barely more than a single year, he was used by IDW, considered for (and consequently cut from) Transformers Animated and received his first-ever toy in the Generations line.
