Death's Head

Learning that Galvaron had travelled back in time, Death's Head transported himself back to 1987 in pursuit of his quarry, while Rodimus Prime, realising his error, followed him back, and stopped him from destroying Galvatron, forcibly returning him to the future. Subsequently, Death's Head was contracted by the Decepticons to take out Rodi ...

Black metal is a musical genre which emerged in the early 1980s predating the great expansion of heavy metal 'extreme' genres. Black metal evolved from thrash metal, as did its sister genre death metal. There are two views on the genre. One views black metal as a very specific form of music that must adhere to a particular 'style' in order for it to be a part of the genre; while the second considers the lyrical and philosophical/political ideology of the music (likely to be heavily inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche) to take more precedence ...

In the late 1980's and early 1990's, one of the most prominent figures of the Norwegian scene was Øystein Aarseth, better known as Euronymous, the guitarist in Mayhem. The scene was deeply anti-Christian: it had a stated goal of removing the influence of Christianity and other non-Scandinavian religions from Norwegian culture and effecting a return to the nation's Norse roots. One minority current, associated with NSBM, included an element of unashamed anti-Semitism. The movement was largely directed by an 'Inner Circle', made up of ...

Amazing Fantasy began under the name Amazing Adventures in June 1961, running anthological monster, science fiction and suspense stories, and introducing the fledgling Marvel's first continuing character, the paranormal adventurer Dr. Droom — renamed Dr. Druid when brought back in the 1970s as a supporting character. He was phased out when the book's title changed, with issue #7 (Dec. 1961), to Amazing Adult Fantasy, a name intended to reflect the more "sophisticated" nature of its new exclusive content, the quick, quirky, twist-ending ...

Crossovers of multiple characters owned by one company or published by one publisher, have been used to set an established continuity, where characters can frequently meet within one setting. This is especially true of comic book publishers, as different characters in various Marvel or DC comic books frequently interact with one another since they live in the same "universe". (The X-Men, for example, have frequent dealings with another group of Marvel heroes, the Fantastic Four.) Crossovers may also be advertised as a guest appearance or cameo appearance, often to promote another work of fiction, somet ...

"Desolation follows in my trail." In the aftermath of the Decepticons' attack on Autobot City in 2005, several injured and dying Decepticons were cast into the void of space in order to lighten the load for the return trip, and were soon drawn in by the world-eater, Unicron. Making a deal with ex-Decepticon leader, Megatron, he reconstructed each of the Decepticons into a new, more powerful form, and with that action, Thundercracker was transformed into Scourge, the tracker, leader of a ...

Rodimus Prime is the upgraded, reformatted form of the youthful Autobot, Hot Rod, and the “Chosen One” of Autobot legend who rose from their ranks and opened the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, marking him as the new Autobot commander. Although Rodimus speaks with the savvy of a seasoned veteran, in truth, at his heart, he is still Hot Rod, and bears the burden of leadership heavily, constantly second-guessing himself and feeling that he can never live up to the legacy of Optimus Prime. He can, on occasion, be hot-headed, tending to ...

“Compassion is the Autobots’ downfall.” In the year 2005, retreating back to their homeworld of Cybertron after an abortive attack on Autobot City, the evil Decepticons found it necessary to jettison excess mass from their craft to ensure the completion of their journey. The injured and dying Decepticons were chosen to be ejected into the void of space, including the commander, Megatron, but when their bodies were recovered by the world-eater, Unicron, they were reformatted and recreated as a team of deadly new warriors in the service of the rec ...

Recreated from the battered frame of Megatron by the chaos-bringer, Unicron, Galvatron is the ultimate evolution of Megatron. His power and physical strength are virtually unmatched, but his sanity is often in question. Galvatron's primary weapon is his devastating Plasma Cannon, mounted on his right arm, which can fire blasts of assorted types, including electrochemical energy and particle beams. He transforms into a cannon emplacement, not unlike a mortar, and can, on rare occasions, assume the form of a laser pistol, shrinking as he d ...

The changing of actors playing the part of the Doctor is explained within the series by the Time Lords' ability to regenerate after suffering mortal injury, illness, or old age. The process repairs and rejuvenates all damage, but as a side-effect it changes the Time Lord's physical appearance and personality semi-randomly. This ability was not introduced until producers had to find a way to replace the ailing William Hartnell with Patrick Troughton and was not explicitly called "regeneration" until Jon Pertwee's transformation to Tom Baker a ...

A common contention among fans and producers of the series is that a large part of the Doctor's appeal comes from his mysterious and alien origins. While over the decades several revelations have been made about his background — that he is a Time Lord, that he is from Gallifrey, among others — the writers have often strived to retain some sense of mystery and to preserve the eternal question, "Doctor who?" This backstory was not rigidly planned from the beginning, but developed gradually (and somewhat haphazardly) over the years, ...

The Doctor is a Time Lord, an extraterrestrial from the planet Gallifrey, who travels in a time machine called the TARDIS — Time And Relative Dimension (or Dimensions) In Space — that allows him to reach any point in time and space and is dimensionally transcendental (larger on the inside than on the outside). The TARDIS originally had the ability to disguise itself according to its environment, but became "stuck" in the form of a police box after landing in London in 1963 and has remained ...

"Vengeance is an excuse for failure. I do not seek vengeance." The third character to bear the name of Scourge, known simply as Black Convoy in Japan, due to the fact that he is an "evil" redeco of the Generation 2 Laser Optimus Prime toy, sans the electronics it originally possessed. Scourge, as he came to be named, was one of a crew of six Autobots sent to Earth to reactivate the legendary Autobot battle fortress, Fortress Maximus. As leader, Scourge was equipped with the ability to detect the unique energy sign ...

"A plague upon all their houses!" Although he did not appear in the animated Beast Wars series, the toyline for this 1990s Transformers series featured a new character named Scourge, who was a Transmetal II locust. This Scourge is possibly the most despicable of the already loathsome Predacons - he delights in taking depravity to all-time-low levels. Obsessed with germ warfare and lethal chemical development, he is despised by peers for his inclination to test deadly viral and bacterial concoctions on his c ...

A vast amount of fan fiction and fan art feature characters from multiple stories or settings crossing over with one another. Almost any two given popular universes, characters or stories can be assumed to have crossed over in some fan-made fiction, even when the basic idea of such a crossover would seem to run contrary to the style or themes of the source material. A popular fanmade crossover idea tends to be Crossover Comics, comics usualy made with images from the actual things in the crossover as well as fanart. This is very well ...
