- Straxus was a Decepticon from Polyhex.
Mercy is not dispensed here, fools, only Pez.
A ruthless, fearmongering dictator, Lord High Governor Straxus was a threat to all under his rule —- including his own inner circle. From his throne in Darkmount, there were none in Polyhex who do not feel his crushing influence. Straxus's word was law, unbound by reason or facts, and could and would change from thought to thought. You could not try to appeal to his sense of pity; he had none.
A brutal powerhouse, he was more than able to enforce his policies, usually with a deadly blow from his battle axe. So terrible was Straxus that even Megatron gave the dictator his space, allowing the small-minded tyrant to terrorize his corner of the globe. Megatron may have designs on the galaxy, but in Polyhex, Straxus ruled.

History[]
Cybertron: The Middle Years[]
Following the assassination of the Decepticon warlord Trannis by the Autobot commando unit, the Wreckers, Straxus assumed his position as Decepticon leader of Polyhex.
Straxus would oversee a horrifically brutal reign, having his men hunt down neutrals, Autobots, and the destitute so they could be melted down in smelting pools and their metal reused by the Decepticons. Even other Decepticons weren't safe from his brutality, with him battering his own Executive Officer when he was in a mood.
Galvatron's got nothin' on me.
The Bridge to Nowhere![]
In 1985, Blaster intended to destroy the Space Bridge, but was confronted by Straxus in a one-on-one duel. Crippling Blaster with his axe, Straxus was duped into accidentally severing the bridge's fuel line, destabilizing its teleporting arch, through which Blaster then kicked Straxus, destroying him. Straxus's head was recovered from the destruction, but interrum governor Ratbat determined it was not cost-effective to revive Straxus, so his head remained in suspended animation.
Eventually, Ratbat and then Valour replaced Straxus as governor of Polyhex, and when Valour was called to Earth, Cyclonus was made Darkmount's city commander.
MUX Continuity[]
When Polyhex was reformatted, Straxus's head was destroyed.
