Toy Bio

IDW Beast Wars comics
Retrax was one of the protoforms jettisoned by the Axalon on prehistoric Earth. He was activated and put in chronal phase by Razorbeast at Magmatron's request. The newly born Predacon quickly joined Magmatron. He was sent to hunt down the Maximals that Razorbeast had also awakened.
While investigating a swampy area with Transquito, Powerpinch, Scourge, and Insecticon, Retrax is attacked by Poison Bite. Several other Predacons are taken down by the Mutants, who declare that no Maximal or Predacon is welcome in their home.
Retrax survived the stinkin' mutie's attack and later joined Manterror and Snapper in creating a distraction so Ravage's main Predacon force could attack the Maximals. When faced with Grimlock, Retrax chose to curl up into a ball and bounce away to safety, rather than engage the Maximal raptor directly.

- Retrax (Deluxe, 1997)
- Retrax transforms into a dark translucent green (dark enough that it appears black to a casual observer in it's not held near light), yellow, and white organic pill bug. His transformation process was simple considering all of his robot mode components were jammed underneath one plate of armor. Per his alt mode, the toy could be rolled around like a ball. This mold was redecoed into Powerhug.
