Warriors Elite
- The Warriors Elite are a Decepticon subgroun from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Titans of overwhelming power, the Warriors Elite are a squadron composed of the mightiest Decepticon warriors ever created. Some (possibly all) of these so-called "superwarriors" are known to have been physically altered by Decepticon science to render them nigh-invulnerable. At least some of them have had other alterations: a kill switch which lets Megatron deactivate them at any time with a simple voice command, and in Overlord's case, an Achilles virus which prevents him from figuring out how to defeat the Decepticon leader.
Known members include:
Several of these ultra-powerful fighters would go on to become Phase Sixers once the war moved into its attrition phase and the phased infiltration protocol went into effect.
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
Black Shadow and Heretech underwent treatment to coat their endoskeletons with ununtrium, rendering them invulerable; Sixshot underwent the process some time later. As a "point one percenter" with a highly unusual spark, Overlord could also survive the process and would be next to receive the treatment. At that time, Shockwave installed both the Achilles virus and the kill switch. Remembrance Day
