Straxus (SG)


 * Straxus is a heroic Decepticon from the Shattered Glass universe.



Straxus, the joyous Bard of Darkmount, is perhaps the most venerated poet and playwright of all Cybertronian history. So respected was he that when Straxus withdrew from society as the Transformers' civil war flared, the civil war let him be. And so Straxus lived undisturbed for eons, just beyond the boundaries of his native Darkmount. Curiously, he has suddenly returned to the forefront as his race has begun breaching universal boundaries. This bewilders most, but some suspect he has supernatural insight.

On the battlefield, Straxus can bring even the largest opponent to the knees with his pick axe, and his alt-mode's sonic cannon can shatter steel. "Xal Unbound," his celebrated masterpiece, is believed to be the fulcrum of Cybertronian philosophy and theater. The "Bard of Darkmount" transforms into a half-tracked self-propelled artillery inspired by the South African G6 Rhino, as well as a tripod-mounted howitzer platform battle station.

"And so comes the storm, bringing its wrath. Fear us Magnus, for the just are here to strike back!"
