Animated Alpha Trion's Place in the Autobot Machine Revealed

Postby i_amtrunks » Sun Mar 29, 2009 4:48 pm

Derrick Wyatt, lead Character Designer has once again revealed a small snippet of information on his blog A Delightful Tedium.

While responding to the many questions and comments on his entry regarding Professor Sumdac's white stripe of hair, Wyatt has revealed some information about the role Alpha Trion plays in the Great Autobot Machine:

Alpha Trion is head of all of the civilian guilds that make up the non military portion of the Autobot High Council. I guess this sort of makes him like a "vice-Magnus."

Alpha Trion was in a blink and you'll miss him role in the recently aired Animated Episode: "Transwarped". Alpha Trion was part of the Autobot Council present when Longarm Prime requested all communications from Earth be filtered through him.

Okay, look. Both Highbrow and Alpha Trion appeared in "Transwarped". But I think you're confusing the two of them with each other. This is Highbrow and this is Alpha Trion.

Highbrow was with Ratchet and Ultra Magnus after Arcee's activation codes were transferred into Ratchet and he and Magnus broguht Ratchet to see Perceptor and Omega Supreme.

Alpha Trion was seen in the council meeting with Ultra Magnus, Sentinel, Jazz, and Longarm. He had no speaking roles and was only briefly seen in the background.
