- The Black Block Consortia is an organization.
The Black Block Consortia used to be part of the Galactic Council. They're a lot more aggressive than their parent organization.
History[]
2005 IDW continuity[]
According to Wipe-Out, the Black Block Consortia seceded from the Galactic Council but kept the same philosophy, i.e. exploiting unsuspecting inhabited worlds for resources as part of a protection racket against the galaxy's mechanical races. The Council was... displeased at losing some of their market share and the two factions began a turf war. An Axe to Break the Ice
At some point, the Black Block Consortia discovered a Transformer civilization founded by Prion, one of the thirteen lost Titans. They attacked the planet and wiped out almost every mechanical life-form, leaving Nickel as the sole survivor. The Permanent Revolution
Notes[]
- The Black "Box" spelling originated as a typo that James Roberts decided to keep as a distinguishing marker between the two timelines.
- A footnote in Lost Light #4 describes the Black Box Consortia as "galactic peacekeepers/extortionists".
- Considering Anode's unfamiliarity with the group, the Consortia likely split from the Galactic Council sometime in the last 500 years before 2017.
