Deceptigod
- The Deceptigod is a combiner from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
An extension of the D-Void's will, the so-called "Deceptigod" is a monstrous, gigantic creature formed from the combined bodies of dozens of Decepticons and innumerable Sweeps. It only appears capable of simple notions... like "DESTROY!"
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
At the height of conflict with Galvatron's forces on Cybertron, Megatron's Decepticon forces and Galvatron's Sweeps suddenly became entranced by the D-Void and abruptly ceased conflict. Kings By manipulating a mysterious energy found naturally on Cybertron Before the Dawn, the D-Void forced the legions of warriors to combine, with the end result being the monstrosity known only as the Deceptigod.
The Deceptigod advanced on the Autobot position and destroyed Omega Supreme's rocket section with a single swipe of its massive arm. More resistant to the phenomenon that had enslaved his troops, Megatron vowed to hold the creature off while Optimus Prime attempted to halt Galvatron's plans. Kings
Megatron did indeed hold the line against the colossus, withstanding the attempts of the D-Void to overcome his will and striking back against the entity. The Deceptigod apparently lost cohesion after being hit with a massive blast of energy from Megatron. Genesis
Megatron would later discover that the mysterious energy used to for Deceptigod could be tapped using a combination of his stealth-bomber body's space bridge technology and Ore-13. Before the Dawn
Notes
- "Deceptigod" is really more of a silly-fun production name for this creature, used in the solicitations for issue #28 and mentioned again in a September 2011 IDW press conference. It is never referred to by any name in the comic issues themselves.
- The concept was invented by either Dan Abnett or Andy Lanning.[1]
