The Terrorcons are major antagonists in the Transformers reboot film series.
They are a group of corrupted Cybertronians that serve Unicron the Chaos Bringer, with Scourge as their field leader in their mission to help Unicron conquer and destroy planets throughout the universe. Their greatest enemies are the Autobots and Maximals, thought they also seem to have come into conflict with the Decepticons, Predacons, Cybertronian Mercernaries, Elite Guards and other factions judging by Scourge's insignia trophies.
History[]
The Terrorcons were sent to the Maximal homeworld as an advance force to destroy its animalistic protectors and recover the Transwarp Key, only for the Maximal leader Apelinq to sacrifice himself to allow the other Maximals to escape with the Transwarp Key and deny Unicron his prize, though their world was nevertheless destroyed.
Later in 1994, the Terrorcons made their reappearance on Earth when the Transwarp Key revealed itself after being uncovered by Elena Wallace, leading to a battle between the minions of Unicron and the Autobots, resulting in the deactivation of Bumblebee and the capture of the Transwarp Key. The Terrorcons were forced to leave the rest of Optimus's crew after the timely intervention of the Maximal Airazor. However, it was revealed that the Terrorcons had only found half of the device, leading Unicron to torture Scourge for his failure before sending him after the other half, bringing the Terrorcons into conflict with the Autobots again, this time in the nation of Peru.
During the fight, Scourge infected Airazor with Unicron's dark energy, steadily eating away at her will, slowly giving Scourge control over her while the humans Noah Díaz and Elena escaped with the second half of the key. Before the Autobots and Airazor regrouped with the humans, Optimus promised Scourge that he would bury him on Earth. The afflicted Airazor was forced to be put down by Optimus Primal while Scourge used the chaos of the moment to steal the other half of the key.
The Terrorcons relocated to a nearby Volcano to prepare for Unicron's arrival. To prevent the arrival of their dark master, the Autobots and the Maximals joined forces and battled Nightbird and Battletrap, as well as the swarms of Sweeps and Scorponoks, while Scourge protected the Transwarp Key as the portal opened. As Unicron came through the portal, an energy burst was released that ignited energon deposits, bringing Bumblebee back online in time to join the fight. Despite their power, the Terrorcons were overcome by the Autobots and the Maximals, Nightbird being destroyed by Bumblebee, and Battletrap having his head smashed by Optimus Primal. When Optimus Prime battled Scourge again, Prime was able to overpower the monstrous herald, taking off his head, but not before Scourge destroyed the console controlling the portal, forcing Optimus to destroy the key to deny the planet to Unicron. The destruction of the key triggered a massive implosion, wiping out the swarm of Sweeps and Scorponoks surrounding the machinery used to open the portal.
