Octus


 * Octus is a Decepticon from Helex.



Octus is a member of the ruling Triumverate who seized control of Helex during Megatron's four-million-year disappearance. He is arrogant, lazy, and believes in a rather complacent method of Decepticon rule on Cybertron. Still, he can be pretty funny when he's poking fun at other Decepticon leaders.

Marvel Comics continuity
An unspecified amount of time after Megatron's disappearance, a triumvirate of Decepticons, ingeniously calling themselves the Triumverate, came to power as the new rulers of Helex. Legonis, Octus and Seizer ruled together from their palace at the Power Base, sharing a three-seater throne. Octus had the center seat.

As rulers of Cybertron, the Triumverate were too lazy for active aggression against the Autobots. Instead they spent their time enjoying arena fights between Autobot prisoners and powerful Decepticon warriors (such as Quake), even contemplating pitting Decepticon against Decepticon should they run out of prisoners, rather than going out to get more.

Generation 1 cartoon continuity
Octus was one of the Decepticon Warlords.
