Blentron
- The Blentrons are a race of Transformers from Beast Wars Neo.
The Blentrons are freakish Transformers created by the evil Unicron. They are ridiculously powerful; able to take down the likes of Big Convoy and Magmatron with little effort.
The Blentrons consist of:
- Elphaorpha (leader)
- Rartorarta
- Drancron
(Note: the Blentrons are sometimes referred to as the "Blendtrons" by fans, though there is no "d" sound in their name.)
Fiction
Beast Wars Neo
After the destruction of Unicron during the climax of The Transformers: The Movie, his lifeforce raced through time and space where it riddled itself into the planet Gaia and became known as Angolmois energy. After a botched attempt by Galvatron to steal all the Angolmois, the energy was sealed into capsules and scattered across the galaxy.
Big Convoy, leader of the Maximal new recruits, and Magmatron, the Predacon Emperor of Destruction, raced across the galaxy collecting the Angolmois capsules. Eventually, after numerous rascally hijinks, the two factions recovered all the capsules.
Then the Blentrons came out of nowhere and beat the ever living CRAP out of both teams and stole the capsules. The Blentrons, absurdly powerful and able to bend time and space at their leisure, had no trouble stealing all the capsules and trapping the Maximals and Magmatron in a wormhole, leaving the Predacons to bicker over leadership.
As it turns out, the Blentrons were created by Unicron. Loyal to their God, they released all the Angolmois into the corpse of Galvatron, reviving Unicron. Unicron then absorbed the last remaining bit of loose Angolmois; the Blentrons themselves. That's what you get for worshipping a God who wants to eat the universe!

 Spoiler warning: Plot details follow. of the next episode/issue in the series or 30 days after release, whichever is sooner |
At some point in Cybertron's future the Blentrons (in pre-beast robotic/Cybertronian forms) gather capsules of Angolmois energy and use it to create (recreate?) Shokaract. He goes on to slay all the Transformers and summon Unicron to devour the planet. Bummer. Magmatron's astral self witnessed this horrible event many times and hopes to somehow stop it.The Ascending, Part 1
Notes/Trivia
- The Blentrons are heavily influenced by Lovecraftian mythology. They are a cult of grotesque freaks of nature who are capable of bending reality-itself and are determined to resurrect a primordial God. Read "the Call of Cthulhu" one of these days; you'll catch the similarities.
- The Blentron insignia has been taken up by many fans as being the Mark of Unicron, a so-called common faction sigil for the Heralds of Unicron. While no official sources state this, custom sticker makers like Reprolabels have designed rub symbols and faction stickers for various figures. The theory is further borne out by the appearance of the symbol on the Kiss Players Sparkbots when their true allegiance is revealed.
