Alpha Trion
Autobot - Season 2 Cybertronian Ancient
Alpha Trion is a wise and ancient Autobot who serves as a mentor to Orion Pax (later Optimus Prime). He is depicted as knowledgeable about Cybertron’s history and the origins of the Autobots. In the 1986 movie, he assists in guiding the Autobots after the death of Optimus Prime. Alpha Trion is non-combative but instrumental in providing strategic counsel. With an authoritative demeanor, he is one of Cybertron’s oldest and most respected figures. Portrayed as a mentor and historian, he is deeply knowledgeable about Cybertron’s past and the origins of the Autobots. Once a mechanical sage and engineer, Alpha Trion is credited with rebuilding Optimus Prime (originally Orion Pax) after he was fatally wounded by Megatron, effectively setting the stage for the modern Autobot leadership. He also created Elita One and served as a guardian to her team of female Autobots, maintaining a hidden base on Cybertron during the Decepticons’ reign. Calm, compassionate, and endlessly patient, Alpha Trion embodies wisdom and selflessness, acting as a spiritual father figure within the Autobot legacy. His deep connection to Cybertron’s history often places him as the keeper of ancient knowledge and technology. Though his appearances in the series are few, his influence resonates throughout the Transformers mythos as the guiding force behind some of the Autobots’ greatest heroes.
