Emir Xaaron (SG)


 * Emir Xaaron is an Autobot leader on Shattered Glass Cybertron.

EMIRATE XAARON is one of the leaders of the Autobot underground resistance movement and was the chairman of the Council of Autobot Elders. He is not a fighter, but his strength is found in his convictions. Xaaron, though physically unimposing, speaks and acts with incredible confidence that grows from his irreverent brand of wisdom. Due to this, he is extremely valuable to the Autobots as a source of inspiration. He has a "vehicular combat" alternate mode, but what with the "not really a fighter" thing, he hasn't transformed in hundreds of years. He has indicated that should he attempt to do so, the shock to his system may well be fatal.

Shattered Glass
In the Shattered Glass universe, Emir Xaaron is a scheming, conniving politician. When Optronix came to the Autobot Council of Elders to demand the Matrix, he found in Xaaron the perfect Elder to blackmail and coerce. For his role in Optimus Prime's ascension, Xaaron believes he is a valuable adviser, and his self-importance blinds him to the fact that Prime keeps him around as a disposable puppet only.

MUX History:
Emir Xaaron is currently tasked with building an Autobot base in the destroyed city of Kalis.

Trivia

 * If the 'Emirate' from Xaaron's name is the Anglicized version of a Cybertronian title, then it is a misnomer. Emirate is not a title, but a word that describes a place. An Emir is the leader of an Emirate.  At least, that's how it goes on Earth.


 * In Xaaron's first appearance, he addresses Traachon as "High Councilor" of the Council of Autobot Elders. Later, Flame claims Xaaron was the chairman of the "ludicrously pompous" Council of Autobot Elders.  Either Xaaron was later promoted and he changed his job description, or everyone on the council has different, important-sounding titles.  Or, uh, Flame is just crazy and confused.  Because he is, you know.  Very crazy, that is.


 * Emirate Xaaron was one Marvel UK conceit that writer Simon Furman quickly brought over when he began writing for Marvel US. In the translation, however, Xaaron lost all his colors except for the yellow.


 * In Emirate Xaaron's very first fictional appearance, his head design was clearly based on the G1 Megatron toy, minus the larger grey helmet and the gun kibble. His chest looks a little Megatrony as well.


 * In his confrontation against Flame, Xaaron indicates that it has been hundreds of years since he last transformed, and that should he attempt to do so, the shock to his system may well be fatal.
