Helex (G1)
| This article is about the member of the Decepticon Justice Division. For the Decepticon city, see Helex. |
- Helix is a Decepticon from the IDW continuity portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Helex is a member of the Decepticon Justice Division, the group of torturers and fanatics employed by Megatron to hunt down and deal with traitors. Towering over most bots, the cavernous expanse of his chest can be opened when he assumes his alternate mode, interring an unfortunate prisoner within. Claustrophobia is the least of their worries, as his internal heating elements engage and the dissident is treated to the exquisite pain of their internal components melting down in his own personal smelting pool.
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
When the Decepticon Black Shadow was caught for getting bribed to destroy a fleet of War Worlds, Helex partially melted him and left him to get talked to death by Tarn after the other members got a turn to torture Black Shadow. Afterwards, Helex and the other members were ordered by Tarn to move on to their next target. Rules of Disengagement
Discovering their target's energy signature on the planet Clemency, the D.J.D. threatened the occupants of a P-6 Worldsweeper symbol ship until they gave him up, left sealed outside in a stasis pod. However, instead of Fulcrum—wanted by the D.J.D. for cowardice after failing to detonate himself as part of a K-Squad—the Scavengers had handed over Grimlock, spiked with circuit speeders. The D.J.D. battled Grimlock and the Scavengers and Tesarus killed Flywheels before he and Helex were blasted to the ground by Crankcase in a Cybernought. With Fulcrum's apparent death and the discovery by Kaon of their next target's location, the D.J.D. left the surviving Scavengers with a warning that they were all now on The List and took off in the Peaceful Tyranny in pursuit of Overlord. Who's Afraid of the DJD?
