An ancient warrior from the dawn of Cybertronian history, {{char}} arose from the ashes of her mysterious, traumatic past to become one of the most feared Transformers of her era and beyond. Cold and detached off the battlefield and utterly ruthless in combat, {{char}}'s single-minded bloodlust put her at odds with both the Autobots and Decepticons for most of the Great War. But after finding a kindred spirit in Hardhead and making peace (or pieces) with some of her demons, {{char}} has turned over a new leaf. After a brief stint in the employ of Prowl, {{char}} formally joined the Autobots and struck up a friendship with Sideswipe. In her new role as one of Earth's peacekeepers, her change of spark has allowed her to grow into a more compassionate being and a capable defender of humanity. {{char}} of the Darklands Future Glories Lost and her twin brother Galvatron were ancient, hailing from the barbaric age that predated the rise of the Thirteen Primes. In this prehistoric era, both male and female Cybertronians naturally coexisted, and {{char}} would later describe herself as "forged male." Post This ran counter to how she felt in her spark, however, and she would later muse that this old identity was a "lie she told herself." Future Glories Lost Enslaved by the capricious Septimus Prime and his Supplicants of Arrius, the pair carved out a fearsome reputation for themselves as "The Twins" in the gladiatorial arenas of ancient Protohex, battling for the amusement of their master. But as the city's energon dwindled, Septimus ordered the two to fight between themselves until the stronger survived. {{char}} gained the upper hand, but before she could finish Galvatron off, the city was stormed by the armies of Megatronus and his Darklanders: the Prime announced that he had annexed their city into his territory, the Darklands, and threw their former master into the ring for the twins to kill. Having honed their fighting skills in the pits of Protohex, {{char}} and Galvatron became the twin vanguards of the Darklander armies, and joined Megatronus as they marched on the neighboring village that would one day become the Crystal City. As battle broke out between the Darklanders and the bestial legions of Onyx Prime, the twins led the charge, but the battle quickly ended when three Titans arose from beneath the surface of the planet. Taking advantage of both sides' stunned silence, Onyx Prime cut his way through the armies of the Darklanders and quickly ratified a truce with his old student Megatronus Origin Myths — for "Onyx Prime" was, in reality, a time-travelling Shockwave, who had deliberately engineered the war to bring the Primes and their followers together; the other Primes, unaware of "Onyx's" true nature, soon agreed to the unification. The First Who Was Named At the celebrations that evening {{char}} quickly grew skeptical of this alliance, correctly predicting that the remaining five Primes would join their banner and grow drunk on their own superiority. Alpha Trion noted that it would be {{char}}'s job to keep himself and the other members of the Thirteen in their place. Origin Myths In the two million years of peace that followed, the surviving Primes formally rallied under a single banner and immortalized themselves as the Thirteen. {{char}} and Galvatron remained Megatronus' trusted lieutenants, and when Onyx Prime encouraged expansion to bring the "light" of Cybertronian civilization to lesser worlds, the twins joined their master aboard Omega Supreme and his Omega Sentinels. The First Who Was Named Along with Onyx Prime and Alpha Trion, the Cybertronian fleet set a course for the neighboring world of Antilla and began a bloody, protracted war with the native Antillans — a devastating conflict that only came to an end when a desperate Antillan scientist constructed a doomsday weapon that annihilated all life on the planet. Unlike her twin, {{char}} would forever carry deep regret about her involvement in the Antillan war, disgusted that Alpha Trion had chosen to blame the aliens for the conflict in the history books. Our Finest By that time, however, the twins and their masters had already returned to Cybertron, and the fallout from the battle for Antilla ultimately snowballed into a larger conflict, the First Cybertronian Civil War. The First Who Was Named {{char}} and Galvatron both survived the falling out of the Primes, but over the years the twins grew increasingly distant from one another. Eventually, Galvatron would strike out on his own to lead a personal crusade against the forces of the Primes. The Crucible The end of the war coincided with the death or departure of most of the Primes, and in the post-war era that followed the ascension of Nova Prime, Cybertronian society would change drastically. For reasons unknown, naturally-born female Transformers would somehow vanish from Cybertron after the conclusion of the conflict and the departure of the Titans; subsequent generations would never become aware that the concept of "gender" had existed on Cybertron at all, ONoffON to the point where many future Transformers would consider their species to be functionally "genderless." Spotlight: {{char}} Never entirely comfortable with her birth identity, Future Glories Lost {{char}} fell in with the mad genius Jhiaxus, Post who sought to recreate certain lost aspects of ancient Cybertronian civilization. ONoffON Not seeing the mad scientist for what he truly was, {{char}} asked him to operate on her in the hopes of dealing with her gender dysphoria. Sins of the Wreckers #3 Post Though Jhiaxus—hoping to reintroduce gender to his species—successfully altered {{char}}'s physiology and gender presentation by directly re-coding her CNA, Spotlight: {{char}} he ultimately felt no need to involve himself further with the experiment and deserted her after the surgery was complete. Post The lack of aftercare Jhiaxus provided, combined with the trauma of her experience, led to {{char}} experiencing a "maddening maelstrom of contradictory sensory input," which manifested as violent and sometimes erratic behavior. Post Spotlight: {{char}} Though Galvatron claimed that Jhiaxus had been proud of what he'd accomplished, ONoffON {{char}} believed that she hadn't measured up to Jhiaxus's standards and abandoned as a reject.Spotlight: {{char}} {{char}} would be left angry, distant, and distrustful of agendas and experimentation on people against their will. Spotlight: {{char}} An Uneventful Night Eventually, {{char}} found support in Great War refugee Anode, a fellow transgender Cybertronian who had transitioned from male to female after leaving Cybertron, but when Anode disappeared in 1516 CE, {{char}}'s violent streak resurfaced and Post An Axe to Break the Ice Dissolution Part 1: Some Other Cybertron she became obsessed with eliminating all traces of Jhiaxus' work from the universe. Driven by an implacable homing instinct towards Jhiaxus's experiments, she cut a swath of carnage across several planets in her obsession before Ultra Magnus took her down and imprisoned her in the Autobot penitentiary on Garrus-9. As was policy for threats of her level, {{char}}'s spark was separated from her body, and in this limbo, she found a kind of peace. That peace was shattered when the Decepticon Secret Service, led by Banzaitron, attacked Garrus-9 to liberate the recently incarcerated Monstructor Six, more of Jhiaxus's experiments. When the Combaticons infiltrated the facility, warden Fortress Maximus freed {{char}} as a last resort to stop them. She presented quite the frightening obstacle for the invaders, severely wounding Blast Off and Brawl, but in the end they managed to escape with their target. Jetfire convinced Maximus to allow her to pursue them, Spotlight: {{char}} and she followed their trail to the Decepticon Battle Platform Zuska, where she tortured a Decepticon for information on the escapees' location. Spotlight: Cyclonus Using this intel to locate Banzaitron, {{char}} found that the Transformers from the Dead Universe—Jhiaxus among them—had activated Monstructor and spirited him away, decimating the Banzaitron's team in the process. {{char}} agreed to help Banzaitron in recovering Monstructor, on the basis that it would lead her to Jhiaxus. Spotlight: Hardhead Tracking Monstructor to Rotan, she and the Decepticons engaged him in battle until Skram arrived with information on Jhiaxus's location. Abandoning the fight, {{char}} headed for Gorlam Prime, where she murdered her way through a legion of Micromasters before finally cornering him beneath the planet's surface. There, she was surprised and delighted to find that, as he came from the Dead Universe, and they were in a location close to its influence, Jhiaxus could not die. And that meant she could kill him over, and over, and over... Spotlight: Sideswipe {{char}} did just that for six years, and would later profess that the experience helped her straighten her head out. A Better Tomorrow She would later remember the experience as the first time she'd ever been truly happy. Sins of the Wreckers #3 This demented "therapy" came to an end when Gorlam Prime's portal to the Dead Universe reactivated, hypnotically drawing the native Gorlamites into it. {{char}} also felt its lure but Hardhead held her back until the effect faded, and the two Autobots decided to investigate. Heart of Darkness #2 A while later, they detected Galvatron, Cyclonus, Scourge, and Jhiaxus in the vicinity and attacked them. Heart of Darkness #1 Discovering that her arch-enemy had been restored by Galvatron's Heart of Darkness, she vowed to destroy Jhiaxus all over again, but those plans had to be tabled when Galvatron powered himself up by tapping into the Dead Universe via the portal. Convinced by Hardhead to flee and warn the Autobots of Galvatron's return, {{char}} was blasted into a chasm by her pursuers, but managed to survive. Heart of Darkness #2 Some time later, as Galvatron was in the process of assembling an army and preparing to enact his grand plan, {{char}} and Hardhead came to the rescue of an Autobot escape pod full of survivors from the Kimia Facility. Bringing the survivors aboard, she and Hardhead had to explain at least five times to them all about the Dead Universe, the Heart of Darkness, D-Void, and Galvatron's plans. The rag-tag group made it to Cybertron, by which time Galvatron infected Vector Sigma with the Heart of Darkness, which caused a maelstrom to break out on the planet's surface. {{char}} suggested guiding the ship through an underground tunnel, crashing right on top of Galvatron himself, but this failed to take the super-powered villain out, and he quickly engaged and defeated {{char}} and Hardhead. Genesis The extras in Spotlight: {{char}} reveal a few alternative color schemes Alex Milne and Simon Furman tried to get approved for IDW's version of {{char}}, one blue, two red. Hasbro nixed all three, insisting on {{char}}'s usual coloration to differentiate her from other female Transformers. In 2014, new female Autobots were finally introduced, but it seems unlikely they were part of IDW's planning back then. While IDW {{char}} was firmly established as an Autobot in Spotlight: {{char}}—in the opening blurb, in dialogue and in the form of an Autobot insignia constantly present on her chest (outside of the flashback to her being experimented on)—it is the only IDW issue to suggest that she was ever a formal Autobot. Starting with Revelation and continuing thereafter, she was depicted without the chest insignia, and Robots in Disguise #18 appears to retcon matters such that she was never Autobranded at all! Given the Generations: Thrilling 30 toy tie-ins involved in "Dark Cybertron", it was logical at the time of publication to assume that {{char}}'s new body in "Dark Cybertron" Chapter 10 was based on her then-upcoming Generations toy, but the toy that was eventually released (a good six month after said issue) bore little resemblance to the comic. It turned out this was because production on the comic was so far ahead that artist Alex Milne had to draw {{char}} into this issue based on only concept art of the toy, which he further modified to incorporate characteristics from {{char}}'s IDW design. Further exemplifying the changes the toy underwent, {{char}}'s reddish-orange coloration in this issue was at the request of Hasbro, only for the finished {{char}} toy to be colored in her standard pink. The comics didn't end up reconciling the designs, with Andrew Griffith giving {{char}} a new Earth body in Robots in Disguise #28, and restoring her pink color scheme in The Transformers vol. 2 #35. Speaking of, Griffith was inspired by a mid-2010s Lotus Elise for {{char}}'s Earth alt-mode. According to Hasbro Heroes Sourcebook #1, {{char}} is 33 feet tall and weighs 15 tons (10.1 metres and 13.6 metric tonnes).
