Dear Vector Prime, I'm familiar with Rhinox's cameo and offscreen death in Armada, but what were Cheetor, Airrazor, Terrorsaur and Predacon up to around that time and in the aftermath?

Dear Beastlier Bonder,

Those individuals all had stories of their own, and their various fates never intertwined. Nevertheless, I shall attempt to provide summaries of their activities.

Cheetor, as Galvatron stated prior, was a member of the Wreckers. Cheetor was known for his stealthy abilities, and for the ego that came from multiple successful infiltration missions. Sadly, like many of the Wreckers, he met his end at the hands of the Decepticon Skywarp, who severed his thrusters in flight mode and sent him falling to a lethal crash.

Airazor was one of the most loyal and professional of all Autobots, which made her forced betrayal as a result of shadowplay all the more traumatizing. While in their thrall, she was driven to help the Decepticon generals Deadlock and Thrust in poisoning the waters of Tlalak, leading to the planet's downfall and a defeat for the Autobots. She underwent counseling for this after the Unicron Battles with Red Alert, and mostly recovered by the time of the search for the Planet Keys, but she would always bear scars from this incident.

Terrorsaur was a member of the Decepticon rank and file, who never accomplished much despite his relative level of skill—something that you can likely attribute to his arrogance. Nevertheless, Terrorsaur fought in the Unicron Battles, survived, and reluctantly entered an era of peace with the Autobots afterward. Still believing himself to be destined for greater things, he attempted to join Scorponok and his Terrorcons, only to be rebuffed due to not being one of Megatron's so-called "elite warriors".

Predacon ignored the matter of Unicron's emergence, so caught up was he in his drive to "evolve" Cybertronians into techno-organic beast modes. When Scorponok and his Terrorcons entered the scene, he found them a subject worthy of intense study. It wasn’t until the hunt for the Cyber Planet Keys that he became an active thread, assuming the form of an Animatronian theropod and staging an uprising on the Jungle Planet. He got so far as challenging Scourge, only to meet his end at the hands of the dragon bot's axe blade.

Dear Vector Prime, I am a human from the universe where the transformers are just a line of toys and television shows. as a question about your universe, known here as the unicron trilogy, whats it like? and it there a shattered glass version of it? thank you for your time. -carno (i dont have an account so it just says anon)

Dear Universal Unifier,

What is my universe like? That is such a loaded question; how can one describe an infinite reality inside an even more infinite multiverse? Nevertheless, I shall make an effort to do so.

My universe is one of contrasts. One where great evil exists alongside those with the capacity to do great good. A universe of explorers, of conquerors, a reality where one's very emotions and force of will can be transformed into great power. I have seen amazing things from both my fellow Cybertronians and the Mini-Cons and organics of my dimension. I have seen great tragedy and destruction, only for it to be thwarted by justice and camaraderie.

My universe has many worlds, from the varied biomes of Earth to the sandy speedways of Velocitron, to the depths of Aquatron and the layered cities of Gigantion. I have seen the sun rise on Animatron, and the night fall on Arction. I have fought the malevolence of Megatron, warned against the rise of Initial T, and watched from beyond the reaches of time as the Mini-Cons gained their sentience. I have witnessed an Energon sun flare to life, and collapse into nothingness.

But of all things beyond that, my universe is home; the one where my consciousness feels most at ease. For it was there that I learned the true value of time and the meaning of this ineffable experience we call existence.

As for negative-polarity versions of my home reality, I'm sure one exists out there. I pray the day never comes that we should find it.
