Kaon (G1)
| The name or term "Kaon" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Kaon (disambiguation). |
- Kaon is a Decepticon from the IDW continuity portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Kaon is the communications officer of the Decepticon Justice Division and the one responsible for maintaining its hit list. A veritable dynamo, his frame arcs with electricity from the generator in his chest, arcing out from his hands and the twin Tesla coils mounted on his shoulders. In another life he might have bent this gift to the service of his fellow bots, but when he assumes alternate mode its true purpose is made known. Thousands of watts of electricity are discharged directly into the cranial chambers of those who would defy Megatron. Unlike in humans, this procedure is not always fatal.
Despite his chilly demeanor (and his creepy, cold, dead, empty, lifeless, soulless, bottomless, horrifying black eyes), he can become almost giddy in the execution of his duties, whether it's excitedly tracking down the DJD's next target or gleefully ripping an Autobot to shreds.
Kaon owns a partially domesticated turbofox sparkeater known only as "the Pet."
