## Synopsis

The Micronauts learn that the Kronus are the last survivors of Microspace from the future, saved by a Time Traveler. Having spent a millennia in the Entropy Cloud, they appeared on Earth a thousand years previously and Enerchanged with local lifeforms to survive.

A special operations team arrives at the city to capture the Micronauts. During the battle, the Time Traveler's capsule is shattered. With its destruction, the Kronus turn to dust having been sustained by the energies from the chamber.

Microtron

## [Source]

**Microtron** is the first mate of the *Heliopolis*.

## Biography

### Early life

Microtron is a third-generation MT class robot manufactured at the Blic Factory on Micropolis-10. As a third generation, Microtron has self-sentience programming rather than the need to Enerchange with a biological organism. Microtron began working for Hezlee Ferro, where he first met Oziron Rael. The pair were involved in a mission that brought them into contact with the Clemens Raider Crew, led by the four Clemens brothers. Microtron and Oz were the only survivors; the survivors vowed revenge.

Microtron retired from working for Ferro, but it was not for long. Oz came looking for a pilot for the new ship he had purchased, the warpcore starship *Heliopolis*. Although Microtron had been happy in seclusion, he felt he owed a debt to Oz. Over the years, the obligation turned into true friendship.

## Personality and traits

Microtron could be described as a coward, but he sees it as a thin line between that and self-preservation.

## Skills and abilities

Microtron can pull tremendous loads when required. He is also a skilled pilot with intimate knowledge of the workings of the *Heliopolis*. Microtron also serves as the ship's primary mechanic.

Rom 13

## [Source]

***Rom 13*** is the thirteenth issue of IDW Publishing's *Rom* series.

## Publisher's Summary

*“Long Roads to Ruin,” part 3. The penultimate issue of Rom’s opening salvo against the Wraiths! But whose side are Orphion and Livia on?*

## Long Roads To Ruin, Part 3

### Plot

In the past, Livia is concerned about Rom. One month on from the Dire Wraith invasion of Elonia, Rom still mourns his lost family.

Off the coast of Italy, Rom has brought the unconscious Livia to a fishing boat. He uses his life force to bring her back from the brink of death. Although too weak to power her Neutralizer, Livia is ready to fight at Rom's side when the tentacles reappear and attack the boat. Rom and Livia rescue Davide and his father from the boat, but Scylla pulls it underwater.

Rom and Livia take two boats from the nearby harbour and start to charge them with their energy. As the power charge grows, Rom and Livia use the boats as unguided bombs. Scylla takes the full force of the explosion.

In Providence, Darby Mason breaks back into the warehouse where she acquired the Space Knight gauntlet. While scanning with the Analyzer, she finds a humanoid shape that only appears in the Analyzer's energy beam. When she touches the humanoid image, somehow she manages to communicate with Camilla Byers. They figure out that the portal is not only a means of communications, but travel. Darby pulls Camilla through the rift.

Underwater, Rom and Livia prepare to face the Wraiths again armed with energy spears. They are confronted with a swarm of Wraith fish. Scylla and Charybdis arrive with more Wraiths to finish them off.

**Searchlight** is a Cybertronian Transformer and Autobot.

## Biography

In 2005, Searchlight was stationed aboard the Autobot Orbital Command Hub. He reported to Optimus Prime that the Hub had received a priority pulsewave from Prowl's unit on Earth. Later, Searchlight passed on information to Prime that a distress call had been received from the Science/Survey Vessel *Calabi-Yau* and return hails went unanswered. Upon reviewing the message, and noting that the energy trace and missile launches were detected from the vicinity of Thunderhead Pass, Prime ordered Searchlight to contact the Wreckers.

Regenesis

**Regenesis** was the name given to a program developed by Shockwave to counter a future he foresaw happening to Cybertron, namely the depletion of its natural resources. He enacted Regenesis in secret, knowing that his warnings would be lost as the Cybertronian race was in the midst of a civil war. Regenesis was intended to give Shockwave control of the resources that both sides would desperately need to fight the ongoing conflict. 600,000 years ago, Shockwave began by stockpiling raw energon, then refining and distilling it into a potent elemental catalyst. Selecting worlds with a specific geological profile, the scientist launched missiles loaded with the catalyst into space. The missiles reached their targets, exploding in orbit and seeding the planets with raw energon.

10,000 years ago, after waiting for hundreds of thousands of years, Shockwave became proactive, visiting the planets and placing Global Dampers around the world to regulate the geological reaction to ensure that the energon did not spiral out of control. The dampers worked to allow the new ore seams to settle in and become inert.

As part of the Regenesis program, Shockwave seeded the planet Earth.

Slug

+ Dynobots

## [Source]

**Slug** is a Cybertronian Transformer, and member of the Autobot subgroup know as the Dynobots.

## Biography

Around 8,000 B.C., Slag and his fellow Dynobots raided a Decepticon energon silo in Sub-Sector-Nine on Cybertron. The raid was successful, but on route back to Autobot territory, Shockwave attacked them and destroyed the stolen cache in their possession, injuring all of the Dynobots. Despite being told by Optimus Prime to forget it, Grimlock swore revenge. Waiting for Shockwave to leave Cybertron on his own, the Dynobots followed him to the primitive planet Earth in their spacecraft, the *Skyfire*. Due to the high concentrations of energon, the Dynobots risked stasis lock if they went to the surface unprotected, prompting Slag to suggest they reformat their alt-modes and cover themselves in mammalian flesh. Grimlock balked at the choice of alt-modes available until Slag found extinct reptilians that were more to Grimlock's liking. Slag took on the form of a triceratops.

Transporting to the surface, the Dynobots engaged Shockwave in a vicious fight. At first, their assault appeared to be working, staggering the Decepticon as he attempted to deal with the illogical nature of the situation. Eventually, Shockwave adapted, using Sludge as a flail to batter the ground-based Dynobots, including Slag. Although the Dynobots were defeated, Grimlock's pre-programmed auto-firing of the *Skyfire*'s weapons systems ensured that all of the combatants were consumed in a volcanic explosion.

Ironhide

## [Source]

**Ironhide** is a Cybertronian Transformer.

## Biography

Around 2001, Ironhide was assigned to the tactical response unit deployed to Earth under Prowl's command.

After receiving Ratchet's message, Prowl took Ironhide and Sunstreaker to rendezvous with and arrest the medic. The three Autobots used their concealed weaponry to damage and drive off Thundercracker. Transforming to robot mode, Ironhide was shocked to hear Ratchet say two words: Siege Mode.

Onboard the *Ark-19*, Ratchet explained everything to Prowl, including the forced escalation of the Decepticon plan and evidence that they had already adopted Siege Mode way ahead of schedule. Ratchet implored Prowl to inform Optimus Prime of the situation but the unit commander refused to do so unless he had conclusive evidence of escalation. Despite this, Ironhide saw the wisdom in Ratchet's words and sent a pulsewave to Prime.

Following Ratchet and Bumblebee's investigation into the abandoned command bunker in Nebraska, he contacted Prowl aboard the *Ark-19* with Ironhide present. Ironhide learned about the revelation of the discovery of an unclassified ore that the Decepticons had found, and the arrival of Megatron on Earth. Prowl asked Ironhide's opinion on the matter; Ironhide told his commander that with Megatron on Earth he's there to put his own house in order and that they had no idea how powerful the infiltration unit was at this point.

With confirmation of Megatron on Earth, Prowl led Ironhide, Wheeljack, Sunstreaker, and Jazz towards the Decepticon command bunker in Oregon with the intention of trying to contain the situation and maintain their secrecy on Earth. Once the situation between Megatron and Starscream had been resolved, Prowl led the Autobots back to *Ark-19*, where they found that Optimus Prime had arrived on Earth.

Scoop

## [Source]

**Scoop** is a Cybertronian Transformer and a member of the Autobot commando team known as the Wreckers.

## Biography

In 2005, Scoop was deployed with the Wreckers to Varas Centralus to counter the Decepticon unit on the planet that had entered Siege Mode. During the battle, Scoop was assigned to dig a storm tunnel alongside Twin Twist. He wondered how the Decepticons had managed to get the armature in place due to the density of the local rock. However, the Wreckers were pulled out and redeployed to Cybertron after an emergency distress call was received from the Science/Survey Vessel *Calabi-Yau* indicating activity near Thunderhead Pass that Optimus Prime believed may be related to Thunderwing.

Arriving on Cybertron, Scoop and Twin Twist were assigned to create a storm tunnel so that the Wreckers could breach Bludgeon's base. As Twin Twist neared the buffer zone, Scoop informed Springer that they were almost done tunnelling and the assault could begin. When Thunderwing returned to Cybertron, Scoop, Roadbuster, and Broadside witnessed his arrival. He was part of the combined Autobot and Decepticon force that fought him, eventually ending with Optimus Prime bringing the entity to a standstill.

Karza and Red Falcon lead the Acroyears against forces that had taken control of a Pharoid temple, capturing the Time Travelers. During the battle Karza, considers killing Red Falcon who he believed was a threat to the Emperor. On the battlefield, he finds a dying rebel who warns him that the Time Travelers have gone made and Enerchanged with time itself. Karza finds Red Falcon enraptured by the Time Travelers with him able to see time unfolding before him. Red Falcon's obsession with the Time Travelers grew to the point that Karza and Shazraella conspired to assassinate him.

As Karza finishes his reminiscences, an MT class robot delivers debris from the Entropy Cloud – a battered and weathered version of his own helmet.

Commanding the *Thanatos*, Razorclaw arrived at Cybertron and was prepared to launch a barrage of Starblitz Torpedoes in an attempt to destroy Thunderwing. Impressed by the small force of Autobots fighting Thunderwing, Razorclaw authorized Divebomb to take two squads to help, although he kept a countdown running for the launch of the torpedoes. With time running out, Razorclaw recalled his warriors and prepared to launch the barrage, but aborted the countdown when Optimus Prime managed to stop Thunderwing.

Skullgrin

## [Source]

**Skullgrin** is a Cybertronian Transformer and Decepticon.

## Biography

Skullgrin was part of Bludgeon's cult-like group that worshipped Thunderwing and sought to resurrect him. After finding the inert Thunderwing under Thunderhead Pass, Bludgeon intended to reawaken and subtly control him through an axis cradle, powered by Ultra-Energon. After capturing several Autobots on Cybertron's surface, Bludgeon had Skullgrin and Finback guarding Jetfire while he revealed his plan to him. Once Jetfire tried to escape, Bludgeon ordered Skullgrin and Finback to take the Autobot back to the other captives.

As Thunderwing razed the planet Nebulos, Bludgeon's base was raided by Autobot forces led by Optimus Prime. Consisting mainly of the elite command squad known as the Wreckers, the Autobot force breached the facility and immediately neutralized Finback. Skullgrin and Bomb-Burst witnessed this, but before they could counterattack, the Wreckers blew a hole through the floor, allowing Springer to throw a grenade into the command center. The explosion took Skullgrin and Bomb-Burst out of the fight.

Rom 9

## [Source]

***Rom 9*** is the ninth issue of IDW Publishing's *Rom* series. It is the fifth issue of the Reinforcements arc, and was released on April 12, 2017.

## Publisher's Summary

*“Reinforcements,” part 5! Rom is caught between rogue G.I. JOE members, rogue Space Knights, and a renewed Dire Wraith threat with the fate of the planet in the balance!*

## Plot

On the drilling platform, The Absence informs the Wraith Sorcerers that they had an unexpected ally in Rom. Above, Rom and Orphion fight. Orphion plans to channel his energy through the platform's drill to destroy the Earth. Rom implores Livia to stop Orphion. Livia says that Rom's compassion has always been his weakness, but Rom draws strength from the accusation and rallies enough to take on Orphion again. As they fight, Livia begs Rom to stop. Orphion orders Livia to attack and she does, felling Rom.

Orphion orders Livia to join their energies together to destroy the planet. At that moment, Livia is attacked by The Absence and drained of energy. Orphion attacks The Absence, but his weapons fire pass through his body. The Absence tells Orphion that his attack is useless because he walks between worlds and is not really there. The Absence then drains Orphion.

Recovering, Rom moves to attack The Absence. He places his Neutralizer directly inside The Absence's body and fires, wounding the Wraith and causing it vanish. Even though Orphion now owes Rom his life, neither is willing to back down. However, Rom has a choice – battle Orphion to save the Earth, or save Livia who lays dying.

In Pawtucket, Rhode Island, Darby Mason introduces Ruan Sablik to her grandmother and tells him that he is a Dire Wraith. Ruan shows his true form, and Darby's grandmother tells her that her grandfather was a rough man before finding religion. But he always believed in prepared. Ever since Transformers arrived on Earth, she has been preparing, and gives the pair of them a large suitcase full of weapons.

As Rom fights to save Livia, he implores Orphion to help him. Orphion continues to send his energy into the drill, where is travels to the Wraith portal below, much to The Absence's delight. Rom eventually convinces Orphion to save Livia. Although Livia is livid at them wasting efforts on her rather than destroying the planet, Orphion tells Rom to prove to him why the planet should be spared.

Rock N' Roll

## [Source]

**Rock N' Roll** is a member of G.I. Joe.

## Biography

Before becoming Rock N' Roll, he was a member of the United States Army with a primary military specialisation of 11B (Infantryman).

Around 2006, Rock N' Roll was recruited into G.I. Joe as the team's M-60 machine gunner. Alongside Heavy Duty and Breaker, Rock N' Roll was introduced to the rest of the fledging G.I. Joe team —Duke, Scarlett, Stalker, and Snake Eyes—in the Las Vegas Motel by General Hawk.

The team was being moved from "provisional" to "operational" due to Chimera's actions, and the Joe team was being deployed to a secret military installation in north-western Nevada where the terrorist was seemingly heading. The team, lead by Duke, deployed from a C-130 out of Nellis Air Force Base, parachuting into the desert six kilometers from the target location. Crossing the desert to the installation, they found tracks leading into an underground facility and a single shoe from a female hostage. Communications with Hawk was cut off, leading Duke to make the decision to infiltrate the facility using an aboveground entrance.

### Pit invasion

Rock N' Roll was stationed in The Pit when it was invaded by spider-bots. He responded to the general alarm to report to defense stations, and took the fight to the invaders using an M60 machinegun, all the while singing AC/DC's "Gone Shootin'."

## [Source]

"*Sir, we were attacked. Omar, he—he's gone.*"
—Officer Camilla Byers[src]
Officer **Omar Ruiz** was a police officer serving with the California State Police. In 2016, he was killed by Dire Wraiths posing as members of the United States Army while investigating the arrival of Rom on Earth.

## Biography

"*What the hell is that?*"
"*It's Rom.*"
"*What, like CD-Rom? Is that thing* yours*? Some kinda* experimental equipment *test? No one told us—*"
—Officer Omar Ruiz and a Human-disguised Dire Wraith[src]
Officer Omar Ruiz and his partner, Officer Camilla Byers, were dispatched to a report of a fire along Highway 101. Ruiz believed it was probably just kids allowing their beach bonfire to get out of control. En route, they were overtaken by a military vehicle and upon arrival, they found members of the United States Army on the scene who took control of the situation.

The situation was the arrival of Rom, a Space Knight of the Solstar Order. He had arrived on Earth to battle the Dire Wraiths who had infiltrated the planet's society. Of the four soldiers present, three were Dire Wraiths disguised as Humans. Rom killed two of them, but the third killed and drained the life force of Officer Ruiz to power his spells and transformed into a Wraith Hawk.

## Personality and traits

Officer Ruiz was a dedicated and competent police officer. When he saw Rom killing what he believed to be members of the United States military, Ruiz was determined to assist them.

—Ratchet[src]
A **pulsewave** is a form of Cybertronian communications.

## History

Pulsewaves were a form of Cybertronian communication. While on Earth, the Autobot infiltration unit intercepted a coded Decepticon pulsewave targeting a Human for termination. While Prowl refused to do anything about it, Ratchet took it upon himself to try and save the Human. Ironhide also used a pulsewave to send a message to Optimus Prime informing him of the situation on Earth. The message was received at the Autobot Orbital Command Hub, where it was passed on to Prime by Searchlight.
