On Saturday afternoon at New York Comic Con, Monkeys Fighting Robots attended the Image Comics/Skybound panel and spoke with Robert Kirkman afterward about Alpha Trion.
“There’s certain iterations of Alpha Trion across the many iterations of Transformers, and to reveal exactly which iteration we would be operating with. Alpha Trion hasn’t appeared and hasn’t been mentioned. It’s possibly bad that I’ve already revealed that there is an Alpha Trion in the Energon Universe, said Kirkman.
We’ve dealt with a lot of Zerta Trion stuff and it’s very like deliberate, right? When you hear Zerta Trion, you’re supposed to be like, wait a minute, Zerta Trion?. I know Alpha Trion , what the hell is a Zerta Trion? This doesn’t make any (sense), I don’t know what this is. That’s by design. Eventually we’ll get more into the lore and you’ll find out exactly what aspects of the Transformers lore we’re playing with, and it should be pretty exciting. I’m very excited to get to it, so much so that I almost spoiled things just now.”
Transformers Wiki – Alpha Trion, sometimes called A-3 or Sig-Omega, is one of the oldest living Transformers, with some claiming that he dates back to the very first generation of Cybertronians. His age has given him unprecedented experience and the wisdom that comes with it; to that end, Alpha Trion has dedicated himself to recording Cybertron’s history in the Covenant of Primus, knowing that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
