The results in his death, and the Matrix being passed to his final successor.įor this, I used Animated Sentinel for the body, Optimus for the head, and Starscream's blasters. Fortunately, he was stopped, but the Titan attack still happened, though it was stopped by the combined efforts of Windblade and friends.įor the TFA backstory, I'd have Infinitus Prime as a Matrix successor to Nominus after the latter was assassinated by a rogue group Cybertronians, and try to succeed where his predecessor failed in trying to maintain order on Cybertron, only for his efforts to be thwarted by a force of invaders from other worlds. This attack involved a horde of dormant Titans as it turned out. Unbeknownst to everyone, Infinitus had left his larger body, and was working in secret to make a comeback that would purge Cybertron of all those he deemed unfit for "his" world. From there, Sentinel enacted the will of the Senate, who used his security forces to bully the populace, which eventually led to the Decepticon Uprising, and Sentinel seeming died at the hands of Megatron. After the Senate assassinated Nominus Prime, they placed Sentinel as the new Prime under the lie that he had Matrix Affinity. Eventually, he used his Titan Master abilities to snag himself a larger body, and worked his way into being the "head" of the Cybertronian senate's security forces under the alias of Sentinel. Infinitus used to serve Nexus Prime, but after the Thirteen left Cybertron, he remained on the planet and followed the Thirteen's teachings. Hasbro's "Titans Return" toyline obviously goes the partnership route with the Titan Masters, but IDW's take went the Takara route, where they control larger bodies, some of which they steal from other Transformers, and even fed on the larger TF's spark. Takara (East) - there is no partnership at all, and it's just that a smaller bot controls a larger body they form the head of. Hasbro (West) - a partnership is formed between a Transformer and a smaller, often organic being, who is cybernetically-enhanced to be able to transform into the larger TF's head, and the TF cannot transform into robot mode without them as a result.Ģ. To explain Infinitus' story, let me explain the two ways in which Headmasters have worked:ġ. Titan Masters, for those who don't know, are similar to Headmasters in that they are small robots who transform into a larger bot's head, only they also serve the function of piloting and controlling the MUCH larger Transformers known as Titans, like Metroplex and Trypticon and the like. In the toys, Infinitus is Sentinel's Titan Master partner. Unfortunately, this time around Hot Rod is on the receiving end of a fast and brutal death.Next up is the guy who replaced Nominus Prime, Infinitus, or as he's more commonly known, the IDW version of Sentinel Prime. Hot Rod leaps into the fray guns blazing, which isn't unexpected from an Autobot of his caliber. Gigawatt is damaged in the battle, leaving it up to Doc and Skilz to give Gigawatt and Marty a push while the others hold the line. With explosions and blaster fire on every side, Doc and Marty have precious moments to get Gigawatt's flux capacitor in working order so they can return their present. Prepared to get back to their own time and stop this dark future from ever being happening, the heroes are beset upon by the most massive Decepticon they have ever seen, specifically one that has been made of Hill Valley's massive clocktower. Gigawatt, the now sentient DeLorean has finally been reunited with Doc Brown in a twisted version of 2015. Thankfully they still have benevolent Robots in Disguise to lend them a hand, which only makes it even more tragic when Hot Rod suffers the sort of defeat that undercuts everything he has done until now. Marty McFly and Doc Brown have become the last bastions of hope in a dark future that has been desecrated by the Decepticons, and they are quickly running out of time to save the world.
