Description "By Prion's Shadow!" - Nickel of the DJD

Animated Bio:

Another of Metroplex's siblings, Prion and Metrobase were considered as the "runts of the litter", and while his sister didn't mind it as much, it gave Prion something of an inferiority complex.  As such, he wasn't exactly thrilled when Micronus Prime, the smallest of the Original Primes, asked to partner with him.  It took some convincing, but eventually, albeit reluctantly, Prion agreed to work with the tiny Prime.  His attitude changed when, during an encounter with the tech-stealing pirate group, the Black Block Consortia, Micronus power-linked with the Titan and gave him a supercharge that allowed him to overcome the organic group's forces and send them scattering to the stars.  Upon realizing how wrong he was about the small Prime's worth, Prion apologized and the two fought side-by-side in many a battle.  When the Original Primes left Cybertron, Prion and Micronus Prime made their way to a distant and barren planet with a colony of Micronus' followers, Minicons and their various types:
- Deployers
- Targetmasters
- Powermaster engines
- Weaponizers
- Headmasters
- Titan masters
Prion made planetfall, and with Micronus Prime, the two oversaw the development of the colony, naming it Nebulos.  Everything changed when their old enemies, the Black Block Consortia, now with a hatred for all mechanical life due to their humiliating defeat and more powerful than before, came to Nebulos and wiped out the majority of the population and sterilized the planet.  Even the combined power of Prion and Micronus wasn't enough to stop them this time.  With the last of his energy, Prion used his internal space bridge to teleport both Micronus and the few other Minicon survivors to another distant world, though one closer to Cybertron, much to the Prime's grief, since his Titanic friend had died saving him.

One lone survivor hid while the Black Block Consortia finished their onslaught, a femme Minicon named Nickel.  Just days later, she was found by a group of Decepticons, the Decepticon Justice Division, who offered her a place among their ranks, and she joined to get revenge.

And that is Prion, everybody.  Sorry to reuse my Metroplex design, but it doesn't help that a lot of the Titans in IDW tend to look like redecos of Metroplex, and all I had to go one was a picture of Prion's corpse.

Also, and this is a bit unfortunate, but Prion's name is also a bit unfortunate since it might be a reference to a certain protein-based infectious agent, more commonly known as Mad Cow Disease.

Anyway, up next is the last Titan, Devisiun, the Titan of Nexus Prime.  As always, let me know what you think in the comments below and have a most wonderful day everybody!

Well aren't most Titans/cityformers just Metroplex recolours? Gotta admit that that's a really weird name choice.

A nice story about what happened to him though and way to acknowledge all the various Mini-Con types.

A very well constructed story for him and it's okay if you base something off of a real disease. Lots of Transformers are based on a lot of things like the Cosmic Rust probably based on the black plague and lastly, it's okay if you reuse designs, I do that too with most of my characters.

True, but this is naming a character after a disease, and as far as I could tell, there was nothing disease-related about him.

Glad you like the story.  What do think of my choices on the Minicon types?

Yeah true.

Well, I assumed it would one Titan Master but great choices.

Thanks, and I figured it would be a good way to combine concepts since nowadays, the term "Minicon" has now come to refer to small TFs in general.

And now they're Cybertronians or a separate species related to Transformers like Junkions.

In a sense, yeah.
