Transformers: Fury of Tripredacus is a made-up comic series written and drawn by Transforminator in 2009. It is set in a separate universe from the
Generation One multiseries, but is still based on the official G1-continuity, taking elements from
Beast Wars and
RID as well. In 2010, it was left unfinished, but this blog shall reveal what could and/or would have happened. Below is a summary of each issue.
PART 1: THE REAWAKENING
1. 'Fury Rising': The mysterious Tripredacus Council meet at a Decepticon outpost. As they discuss the 'plan', they decide to send their agent, Onyx Primal, to carry out their wishes. On Earth, Megatron grows weary of Nemesis Prime, who decides to leave Earth when he becomes aware of the others' suspicions. On Cybertron, the Autobot commander Big Convoy leads his team against the invading Decepticon forces led by Galvatron.
2. 'Battle on Cybertron': Big Convoy's team is overwhelmed by the Decepticons and are forced to retreat to Earth. Meanwhile, Megatron detects Convoy's signal and sends the brutish powerhouse Lugnut to eliminate them.
3. 'Legend of Rodimus Prime': The legendary Autobot leader Rodimus Prime arrives on Earth and joins Optimus Prime's team. At that moment, Lugnut attacks the Ark (the Autobot's base), destroying its thrusters and rendering it immobile. Optimus, Rodimus, and Convoy's teams leave Earth on board shuttles and head back for Cybertron. Meanwhile, after informing of his brother Megatron of his victory, Galvatron is killed by the traitorous warrior, Deadlock.
4. 'Retake of Cybertron': The Autobots return to Cybertron and battle Galvatron's Decepticon forces (now led by Cyclonus). In the end, the Decepticons are defeated and taken into Autobot custody.
5-7. 'The Beast of Earth': The Dinobot leader Grimlock receives a vision of his claimed ancestor, the Beast, formerly known as Flame Convoy. Grimlock decides to head to the beast planet of Animatron in order to fulfill his legacy, taking the other Dinobots with him. Once there, he encounters the clan Sadios, who are at war against Clan Storm. After the elder Backstop tells Grimlock of the Beast's past, the evil Megastorm and his clan attacks. Grimlock and the Dinobots are forced to return to Earth, where the Beast awakens. The Dinobots suddenly activate a hidden combination feature and they form the titanic Dinoking. The gestalt battles with the Beast and shortly destroys him.
8. 'Gathering for the Climax': The spirit of Alpha Trion appears before Optimus and tells him to gather all of the Autobots on Cybertron in order to prepare for an impending event. At the Decepticon base, Megatron finds a holo-book(?) that tells of the ancient warlord Gigatron. Megatron decides to use this information to reawaken Gigatron and the ancient Predacons.
9. 'Tale of Omega Prime': On Cybertron, Optimus tells the tale of Omega Prime, who once co-led the Autobots along with Rodimus and Sentinel Prime, and was the one who defeated the Predacon ruler Gigatron shortly before vanishing. On Earth, Megatron finds the tomb of Gigatron.
10. 'Omega Prime Arrives': As the title says, Omega Prime and his team of Autobots arrive on Earth and find Megatron in the midst of reawakening Gigatron. The Decepticons easily defeat Omega's team and force the Autobots to retreat. Omega later arrives on Cybertron and meets with Optimus' team just before revealing that he is in fact two Transformers united as one.
11-12. 'Reawakening': Megatron recovers Gigatron's spark crystal and prepares to use it to bring back Gigatron. On Cybertron, the Decepticon Bludgeon attacks the Autobots. After being defeated, by Optimus, he reveals that the Predacon army had been reawakened. The Autobots return to Earth just as Gigatron arises from his tomb, destroying Megatron in the process. Optimus and Omega duel the ancient warlord but are easily defeated, and Gigatron sets out to rebuild his empire. Returning to Cybertron, Optimus speaks with Alpha Trion, who sends out Optimus to find the one thing that can stop Gigatron: the Zodiac!
PART 2:
13. 'The Brave Legacy': Set some time after Part 1, Optimus Prime has given command over his team to Star Saber while he searches for the Zodiac. Autobots Ironhide and Jetfire head out in search of the legendary Gaogaigar (a character from the Transformers-like series
Brave), who they believe has knowledge on the Zodiac. They locate Gaogaigar in Alaska and free him from an icy prison. However, the ancient machine reacts with hostility and attacks the two Autobots. Meanwhile, Starscream gloats over Megatron's demise and declares himself the new Decepticon leader. Just then, Nemesis Prime arrives and defeats Starscream, ordering the others to dispose of him. Back in Alaska, Ironhide and Jetfire manage to outrun Gaogaigar, only to get captured by large, reptilian creatures.
14. 'Hunt for the Zodiac': Optimus Prime arrives on the planet Zodion, the supposed location of the Zodiac. While there, he meets two lost Autobots, Sky Garry and Grandus. When they find out he's after the Zodiac, they try to tell him that it is too dangerous, but he ignores their warnings. On Earth, Gigatron gathers his Predacon army and prepares to launch an attack on the Autobots. Elsewhere, the Tripredacus Council send out Onyx Primal to carry out their will.
15. 'The Scourge of Nemesis Prime': The Decepticons attack the Autobot base, with Gaogaigar thrown in the midst. During the battle, Star Saber is killed by Nemesis Prime. Meanwhile, the Predacons are sent out to begin their attack as well.
16. 'Tribe of the Hordika': Ironhide and Jetfire awaken in an underground lair belonging to the alien Hordika (based on characters from Bionicle). While they find a way to escape, the Hordika King sends his minions to execute them so not to escape the Makuta. Just then, the Autobot Skybolt arrives and frees Ironhide and Jetfire, leaving behind a very angered king.
17. 'Zodion's Tales': Continuing his search for the Zodiac, Optimus encounters Onyx Primal, who captures the Autobot leader and takes him to the Zodaic's Guardian. Once there, Optimus activates an upgrade given to him by Alpha Trion and reformats in to a new body. The Guardian sends out his minions just as Sky Garry and Grandus arrive to help Optimus. Once his minions are defeated, the Guardian decides to allow Optimus to continue his search.
18. 'Brave Redemption': On Chaar, Bludgeon gathers the Decepticon Pretenders and plots an attack against the Autobots and the Predacons in order to bring back their original leader, Thunderwing. On Earth, the Decepticons have captured the Autobots and are about to execute them when Gaogaigar arrives to save them. While he battles with the 'Con gestalt Ruination, the Autobots use the 'Cons' distraction to their advantage and escape. Ruination is destroyed and the Autobots return home. In the battle's aftermath, Bludgeon, who had tried to interfere with the battle, is taken away by Nemesis.
19-20. 'Return to Animatron': Grimlock finds out that Gigatron is from Animatron and heads back there to find a way to stop the Predacon ruler. Once there, he discovers that Megastorm had taken over the planet and approaches him for information. After telling the Dinobot of Gigatron's history, Megastorm sends his minions to capture Grimlock. He holds them off while the Clan Sadios member Ligerjack duels with Megastorm and seemingly kills him. Suddenly, Megastorm is reformatted into a new body by unknown means. As he attacks the two beast warriors, Autobots Prowl, Ironhide, and Silverbolt arrive to help them. A wormhole randomly opens and the four Autobots, Megastorm, and others are sucked in. The Tripredacus Council notices this and sends their agent Magmatron to investigate.
21. 'Zodiac: Found, Location: Earth': On Zodion, Optimus, Sky Garry, and Grandus continue their quest for the Zodiac. Eventually, they find Onyx Primal leaving the desolate planet...along with the Zodiac! The three Autobots pursue Onyx's ship and follow it through hyperspace, ending up on Earth. Just as they manage to retrieve the Zodiac, Gigatron appears and snatches it from their hands.
22. 'Brotherly Hate': Optimus speaks to Alpha Trion about their loss and asks the Autobot elder about Nemesis Prime. It is revealed by Trion that Nemesis was once known as Dion, an Autobot warrior and Optimus' brother. He had high hopes of becoming Autobot leader until the High Council chose Optimus instead. He then joined the Decepticons and was rebuilt into a new body, taking on the name Nemesis Prime, as a mockery of Optimus. Elsewhere, Nemesis speaks with a mysterious being . Later, Megatron's corpse is brought before the being, who decides that the former Decepticon deserved a second lease on life.
23. 'Wrath of the Predacons': Gigatron unleashes his Predacon forces and attacks the Autobot base. During the ensuing battle, Optimus confronts Gigatron, who impales the Autobot leader with his double-edged 'lightsaber'. The dying Autobot then activates the other blade, sending it through Gigatron's chest. Before the Predacon leader can die, however, the Tripredacus Council fuse the other Predacons into Gigatron's body, merging into 'Devil Gigatron'. The Predacon ruler then heads out on a course for Cybertron.
24. 'Fury of Gigatron': Gigatron arrives on Cybertron and confronts Omega Prime. On Earth, Optimus uses the Matrix of Leadership to preserve his life long enough so he can combine with Jetfire to take on Gigatron. He heads for Cybertron and faces against Gigatron. When he fails as well, Gaogaigar appears and takes the Zodiac back from Gigatron and plunges it into the Predacon ruler's spark, destroying him once and for all.
25. 'Epilogue': In a data-record written by Optimus Prime, it is revealed what has happen after Gigatron's demise; the Decepticons, still led by Nemesis Prime, have fled for places unknown. Gaogaigar had left the Autobots and went out to explore the cosmos. Finally, it is reported that the elite Wreckers have set out to investigate a mysterious distress signal. Overall, the Autobots have finally achieved peace...for now.
BEAST WARS
1. 'Adapting': Taking place after the 'Return of Animatron' story-arc, Grimlock fins himself in a jungle very similar to Animatron, but with some strange differences. He encounters a group of small, techno-organic Transformers called Maximals. From them, he discovers that he is in fact on prehistoric Earth. Meanwhile, Megastrom meets a Transformers named Magmatron, and decides to make a deal with him in return for power. Elsewhere, a Predacon resembling Megatron detects Megastorm and Magmatron's sigmals and decides to investigate.
2. 'Ambush': At the Maximal Base, Grimlock is upgrades into a smaller, more organic form, though he doesn't seem to like it much. They then head out after detecting nearby Predacon activity. Grimlock and the Maximal Cheetor encounter Megastorm and are easily beated by him. Megastorm then leaves and runs into the Predacon Megatron along the way. Elsewhere, Magmatron speaks with the Tripredacus Council, telling them that he had found a number of Cybertronian protoforms.
3. 'Awakening': Gigatron's Predacons, led by Sky-Byte, arrive through the wormhole, having survived Gigatron's demise. Meanwhile, the Maximals are battling Megatron's Predacons. While the Pred' Tarantulas watches from the Predacon base, Sky-Byte and his buddies sneak in and free Megastorm, whom Megatron had captured for some reason. After leaving the Pred' base, they come across the Autobots Prowl, Silverbolt, and Ironhide.
4. 'Legend': Megastorm prepares to eliminate the three Autobots when he is knocked away by the Maximal Rhinox, who takes the Autobots to the base, where they are reformatted into organic bodies. Elsewhere, the Tripredacus Council decide that it is time for them to make their move and they combine into the gestalt Tripreadacus. On Earth, the Maximal leader Optimus Primal tells the three Autobots the tale of Magnaboss, a titanic hero who defeated Tripredacus long ago and who, legend has it, was divided into three, certain Autobots. Meanwhile, Magmatron gathers his team and heads for the Predacon base.
5. 'Rebirth': At the Pred' base, Magmatron warns Megatron of an impending storm, one that will be impossible to stop alone. Later, Magmatron's team attacks the Maximal base in order to buy his master(s) enough time. Soon, emerging from the wormhole, is Tripredacus! At that moment, Prowl, Ironhide, and Silverbolt merge together and form the legendary warrior Magnaboss!
6. 'Combat and Epilogue': While Magnaboss and Tripredacus duel, Magmatron and his team retreat and head back into the wormhole. Magnaboss decides to take the chance and takes Grimlock with him through the portal. Tripredacus heads through it as well, followed by Megastorm. The former ruler of Animatron challenges Tripredacus, who simply destroys him. This caused the villainous gestalt to lose time and the portal closes, trapping between time and space forever. In the present timeline, Grimlock and the other Autobots arrive on Cybertron unharmed.
PART 3
After Beast Wars was finished, Transforminator began two separate series; Part 3 of F.O.T., and Target: 2010. In this post, we shall consider these two series to be one and the same.
26. 'Tale of the Expansion': A tale is told of the former Cybertron leader Nova Prime, who left his home world to expand the Transformers race, and vanished shortly after, leading to the formation of the Autobots by the High Council. In the present, the High Council speak of Gigatron's demise and thinking if they had finally entered a new age of peace. However, one of the councilors remind them of You-Know-Who...(I assure you, it is definintely NOT Voldemort)
27. 'Return of the Screamer': On Chaar, Bludgeon is upgraded into a new, samurai-like form by Shockwave. Just then, Starscream appears, seeking revenge on Nemesis Prime. Bludgeon faces against Starscream, who is quickly beaten. Suddenly, a voice bellows out, and the Decepticons look up to see Megatron.
28. 'Prelude to Apocalypse': Emirate Xaaron informs the High Council that the Matrix Flame had died out, foretelling dark times ahead. Xaaron then assembles the elite Autobot Wreckers to begin Operation: Volcano. Elsewhere, three mysterious beings arrive through a portal.
29. 'Traitor Among Us': The Autobots discover that one of their own had downloaded information on Operation: Volcano and has given it to the Decepticons. Ultra Magnus sends the Autobot detective Nightbeat and his partner Siren to find the traitor. In Cybertron's underworld, they arrest a Decepticon connected to the traitor, but won't tell who it is. Elsewhere, the traitor sends the 'Con Umbra to frame one of the Autobots.
30. 'Evil Then, Evil Now': As soon as Megatron appears on Chaar, alive and well despite his previous death, Galvatron arrives as well. The two of them duke it out, carrying their duel all the way to Earth, where a group of Autobots bear witness to their duel. In the end, Galvatron defeats Megatron and takes command of the Decepticons.
31. 'Under Construction': The Autobots find the Decepticons constructing a strange device. Before they can head back to base to warn Optimus, Cyclonus pursues them. On Cybertron, Magnus decides to drop out of Operation: Volcano and head to Earth to ensure the Matrix of Leadership's safety. Once there, he saves the Autobots from Cyclonus. At the Ark, Hound tells Optimus that Jazz had been captured by the 'Cons. Meanwhile, Ironhide digs out Megatron, who is bent on revenge.
32. 'War Without End': A Decepticon assassin is sent to eliminate Rodimus Prime. However, he is stopped by Magnus (?) in time. On Nexus Seven, Grimlock and a team of Autobots defeat a group of Decepticons. As soon as they leave, the Cybertronian Empire arrives....
WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED
'The Traitor': The traitor would've been revealed to be either one of these Autobots: Siren, Sideswipe, or Mirage. After discovering them, Nightbeat would've killed them and recover the info on Operation: Volcano
'Megalvatron': It would've been revealed that Galvatron was in fact Megatron reborn, and that 'Megatron' was the Decepticon Straxus in disguise.
'The Cybertronian Empire': The Empire would've been the main antagonists of the third volume, led by Jhiaxus and the Liege Maximo.
'Nova Prime': Nova would appear and be related in some part to the Cybertronian Empire.
'You-Know-Who': This mysterious entity would turn out to be the Fallen, who would appear at the end of the third volume and lead into the next.
'Part Four'-This would've been the final volume in F.O.T. and would be about the battle between the Autobots/Decepticons and Unicron and the Fallen.
