Fred The Magnificent

## KING FRED THE MAGNIFICENT

"BOW BEFORE FRED THE MAGNIFICENT AUTOBOT SCUM!"

## Bio

Fred The Magnificent is perhaps the most magnificent Transformer to have ever been forged, he's so magnificent that his magnificence had to be reflected in his name.

Fred is technically an Original Character who is canon to the mainstream Aligned Continuity. Wherever the Aligned Insecticons were, Fred was.

He has been described by his creator/writer as a "sentient shitpost", a description that he easily lives up to in all aspects of his conduct and speech. Fred has an ego that rivals Starscream's (and we mean ANY Starscream) and is somehow more sociopathic than G1 Sunstreaker. He also hates literally everyone.

In other words, he's a massive a-hole who has somehow found favor with nearly all of the Writers of the Axiom. Fred's communication can be most likened to a terminally online Redditor, occasionally using complex and formal language in order to make himself look smarter than everyone else, while simultaneously saying and doing the most degenerate things possible without getting banned from the Axiom or killed in-canon. But then again, Fred has demonstrated the ability to take a lot of damage and then show up completely fine the next day without visiting medbay.

## Origins

Unlike most of the characters in the Axiom Nexus, Fred just showed up out of nowhere. Presumably present when the other Aligned Insecticons showed up, but not active/speaking, Fred was brought to Counterpunch in order to translate Ancient Cybertronian runes for him. After verbally abusing Counterpunch and doing his job, Fred left the Library and went on to enjoy his own exploits. Fred's... Fred-ness probably inadvertently led to Vos developing an algorithm for Counterpunch (and by extension, the Decepticons) to decrypt and translate Ancient Cybertronian into Neo-Cybex. At least an algorithm doesn't insult you as you're trying to read blueprints.

## Exploits

Here is a list of the somewhat significant things that Fred The Magnificent has done in-canon: (His Out-Of-Canon exploits are too numerous for even Aligned Alpha Trion to keep track of)

* Translated Ancient Cybertronian to Neocybex for Counterpunch
* Fought in the Battle for the Wreckage of the Nemesis
	+ In this battle, he first demonstrated the ability to transform into robot mode (previously thought impossible) as well as his signature acidic powers (similar to Toxitron's powers)
