Straxus was a vicious Decepticon, being the former Governor of Polyhex. He had a reputation for throwing live victims into the smelting pool behind his fortress of Darkmount. Thankfully, Decepticon High Command limited his activities, leading him to be bored. Unicron then contacted the psychopath and promised him the chance to endlessly murder his enemies in the most horrific fashion. That was what made Straxus sign up with Unicron. When the Autobots won the Great War, he was sentenced to prison and mental rehabilitation. He faked repentance and became a voice on the High Council. When his Necromancer student, Megatron, started the second war, he abandoned the Council and resumed his rule over Polyhex. He sent six Decepticons to Mobius so Unicron could scavenge them for his new body’s parts and bore witness to his return. Unfortunately, he didn’t make it all the way. Just after Deceptitran met his end, he was killed by his former student, Megatron, in the same way he killed his victims, melting down in a smelting pool. He then arrived in Hell and languished there with his fellows until the Author broke him out. He promised him godhood. Straxus has revenge on his mind and he intends to make sure Megatron stops functioning in the most horrific fashion.
