Horus
- Horus is an alien from the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
This character has no official visual representation in any Transformers product or media... yet, at least.
Controlling a vast empire in the Argos Cluster, the biosynthetic creature known only as Horus was one of the few legitimate obstacles facing Shokaract in the latter's campaign to conquer the universe. Horus was said to be the descendant of some primitive sun god, and was the idol figure for countless thousands of soldiers who were all prepared to die in his name out of religious zeal. Horus himself was a force to be reckoned with: his ability to absorb and channel solar energy made him an equal of pretty much any Transformer in combat.
Fiction
Tales of the Beast Wars
While being tortured by Megatron, Antagony recalled one of her missions from her past (which was actually a possible future, thanks to time travel). During the Horus Campaign, she and her fellow herald Cataclysm were competing for Shokaract's praise, and sought to gain it by defeating Horus's empire. Through a convoluted plan, employing distractions within distractions, Antagony was able to bypass Horus's army and do battle with Horus himself. Their battle was ruthless but indecisive as they were too evenly matched... or at least, they were evenly matched until Cataclysm destroyed that system's sun. Horus attempted to continue the battle, but now lacking his power source he was soon killed by Antagony when she used her venom-laced pincers to inject toxins directly into his brain. Although he fell along with his army, by Antagony's accounts, Horus was no push-over, as she recalls having barely survived her battle with him. Herald
