(Aerial
Assault) Evil human type. He aligned himself with the
Decepticons, assisting them in building a massive army of
drone-fighters, and a huge Sphinx-like flying fortress. He did this by
overthrowing Prince Jumal, and smuggling jets from other countries into
his own. To smuggle the jets through he disassembled them, then
reassembled them as cars, to be disassembled and reassembled (as jets)
again when in his own country. It was one of the stupidest schemes in
the history of the cartoon. He was overthrown when the Decepticons were
defeated. his final fate is unknown. Though I like to think he had his
head chopped off, in classic middle-eastern style. |
(Roll
for it!) The inventor of the Anti-matter formula, with the
help of Chip Chase. Dr. Alkazar used his modem to upload the formula to
Chip when the Decepticons tried to steal it. Unfortunately, Chip was a
bad choice, because he's a complete goon. The good Dr. never appeared
again and it's possible the Decepticons killed him when they discovered
he didn't have the formula.
Well, okay
that's not true. Megatron actually said to let Alkazar go. But here's
hoping he was killed anyway for being such a bad, stereotyped scientist.
I mean, really! what B movie did this guy wander off of?!

Alana
(Sea Change) A Tlalakan who fell in love with Seaspray. She, along with the rest of
her people, was a slave. Her people had been taken over by the
Decepticons during the great war, and were under the supervision of
Deceptitran and his army of drones. With the help of Seaspray and
several other Autobots, Alana was instrumental in the freeing of her
race. At one point during their time together, Alana changed herself
(with the help of a magical pool) into a robot, for Seaspray. She
changed back, at the end, however. She then proclaimed that it didn't
matter what they were like on the outside, they could still love each
other. In other words, a heavy-handed 'it's ok to have interracial
relationships' message to the kiddies. Whee. |
(The Ultimate Doom, pts 1 to 3,
Countdown to Extinction) A scientist who worked with
the Decepticons. He was part machine, with several bionic implants
(including an entire arm being replaced by machinery). Dr. Arkeville
invented the hypno-chip for the Decepticons. In exchange he was promised
world-domination, when the Decepticons were through with Earth. However,
when the good doctor realised that their plan was to DESTROY earth, he
decided he wanted out, and sought help from Starscream. When the
Decepticons' scheme failed, and Megatron seemingly died, Starscream took
Arkeville back to his lab. To Arkeville's horror Starscream turned one
of his inventions, the exponential generator, into a massive,
planet-destroying, bomb.
To prevent Arkeville from interfering with the bomb, Starscream took
him to Cybertron. There the Doctor tried to stop Starscream from
collecting the energy from the destruction of earth, by meddling with
the controls. However the Sentry Monitor was on, and it fried Arkeville
the moment he touched the controls. For some reason, rather than just
leaving him to die, Starscream had Arkeville 'rebuilt'. Literally. He
was rebuilt into an almost entirely mechanical freak that couldn't even
walk independently. He bitched about this to Starscream, but not for
long. The timing device on the bomb didn't work and Starscream was
forced to go back to earth, leaving Arkeville alone with Shockwave on
Cybertron.
This is the last we see of Arkeville, and it's reasonable to assume
that he died at the hands of Shockwave shortly after Starscream left him
alone.
