Chief Justice Tyrest


 * Tyrest is a former Autobot turned Neutral.

Chief Justice Tyrest is a bot above it all. A former member of Nova Prime's cadre, he was held in high esteem by both Autobot and Decepticon in later life. An individual who holds the law above all else, he believes it is his duty to mitigate conflicts and provide a framework for the enforcement of order. But order is often just a reflection of chaos, and Tyrest holds convictions and concerns which suggest a tumultuous soul. Having recently found God, he plans on making peace with his maker. And he is unconcerned for the damage that could be caused by doing so.

Pre-MUX continuity
During the Golden Age, Tyrest served as chief engineer under Nova Prime. Nova feared that the life-giving pulsewaves from Vector Sigma would eventually cease and, in order to ensure the continued growth of the Cybertronian race, charged Tyrest with finding a way to tap into the Matrix of Leadership and harnessing the power to bestow life the legends claimed it held. With a team of scientists at his command, Tyrest succeeded in his task, mass-producing generations' worth of sparks, until the Matrix apparently ran dry. It would be some time before Tyrest discovered that, in actuality, one of his team had had an attack of conscience and spirited the Matrix away, leaving a facsimile in its place.
