Chela


 * Chela is a Titan.

Chela, the "Talon of Onyx Prime" and the "Golden Warrior" was one of the original Titans. Loyal to Onyx Prime and supremely distrustful of "standard-formers", Chela eventually colonized the untamed world of Eukaris to create a safe haven for beast mode Transformers.

2005 IDW continuity
According to legend, Chela was one of the original three Titans alongside Metroplex and Metrotitan, having fought alongside Primus in the days of the Guiding Hand. In the distant past, they were summoned by Onyx Prime in the battle leading up to the unification of the Thirteen and their tribes. Chela remained loyal to Onyx Prime during his reign over Kalis. When the First Cybertronian Civil War swept the planet ten million years ago, Chela fought for his master and joined his Titan brethren as they exiled Vigilem, Titan of the evil Liege Maximo, from their ranks.

At the end of the war, Chela and the other colony Titans departed Cybertron in the hopes of founding new outposts for Cybertronian civilization. According to the latter-day inhabitants of Eukaris, Onyx and Chela discovered the world that would become Eukaris; Chela settled the planet and used the hot spot within his body to spawn a new civilization of beast mode Transformers. Remembering the discrimination of his kind had faced on Cybertron, Onyx's last command to his Titan was to defend Eukaris from intruding "standard-formers" by any means necessary. Chela eventually went dormant beneath Talon Valley, though legends and stories of his existence persisted in Eukarian culture.
