Terrorcon leader Hun-Grr would gain mild prominence in the Marvel UK stories set after the Transformers movie, starting with the end of Legacy Of Unicron where he & Soundwave, who would assume Decepticon leadership, took it upon themselves to take control and order a retreat when the Decepticon army was abandoned by Cyclonus & Scourge.

Seeking revenge for the defeat, Soundwave and the Terrorcons went to Autobot City Earth; discovering they'd timejumped back to 1989, the Terrorcons wanted to go after them and Soundwave complied in order to maintain favour with the troops. They had little involvement in the Time War itself, joining the Autobot-Decepticon alliance initially before returning back to 2009 after seeing how poorly the alliance fared against Galvatron and Megatron.

Unicron is a Fictional character from the ''Transformers'' universe and toyline. Among the Terrorcons are:

Animated series

Instead of being the name of a sub-group of Decepticons, the Energon Terrorcons were a faction unto themselves. Their origins lay in the attack on planet Q by Unicron. Unicron is a Fictional character from the ''Transformers'' universe and toyline. Although the Grand Chamberlain of the alien world, Scorponok, sacrificed his life when he detonated the planet's core to stop the attack of Unicron the planet was still obliterated, damaging Unicron and driving him to dormancy. The spark of the planet's ruler, later to be known as Alpha Q, continued to exist within the dormant Unicron, and set about forming a plan to recreate his homeworld and other worlds that had been consumed by Unicron, using energon. Alpha Q (or Alpha Quintesson is a fictional character from the Transformers Energon TV series comics and toyline In the Fictional universe of the Transformers, Energon (pronounced EN-ur-jon like " Energy " is the primary source of power for Transformers From Unicron, he recreated Planet Q's armies as the Terrorcons, and resurrected Scorponok (not the original Grand Chamberlain, but a wandering Decepticon spark implanted in Scorponok's body) to lead them. All went well for the Terrorcons, even convincing several rogue Decepticons (such as Tidal Wave) to fight with them - until the resurrection of Megatron, who forced Scorponok into servitude. Tidal Wave is the name of a fictional character from Transformers Armada and Transformers Energon. The Megatron/Galvatron of the "Unicron Trilogy" ( Transformers Armada, Transformers Energon and Transformers Cybertron Megatron would take control of the Terrorcons after this, using them as cannon fodder in his assaults. It is worth noting here that, with the exception of Scorponok, none of the Terrorcons had any personality and were portrayed as mindless drones who achieved their objectives by weight of numbers.

All Terrorcon drones are voiced by Trevor Devall. Trevor Devall is one of the various voice actors who work for Ocean Group, in Vancouver British Columbia Canada.

Dreamwave Productions

The origin of the Terrorcons in the accompanying Dreamwave comics was much simpler - they were a group of rogue Decepticons, unhappy with the Autobot/Decepticon peace which had fallen over Cybertron ten years after Unicron's attack in the comic continuity. Dreamwave Productions is a Canadian art design studio and Comic book publisher best known for their multiple Transformers comic book series Here the Terrorcons were individuals with personalities; in this continuity Tidal Wave was also a Terrorcon right from the beginning, and both Sharkticon and Slugslinger were also affiliated with them. Tidal Wave is the name of a fictional character from Transformers Armada and Transformers Energon. Sharkticons are fictional robots from the Transformers universe Slugslinger is a name of several Fictional characters in the various Transformers universes. Somehow linking up with Unicron and Alpha Q, a scientist working for the Chaos-Bringer, a deal was struck. He would enhance them with Unicronian technology and allow them to annihilate their enemies in return for their harvesting enough energon to repower Unicron fully. After (supposedly) disposing of Starscream, the Terrorcons journeyed to Earth in search of Energon - with Scorponok planning to take a fair amount of it for himself. The Starscream of the "Unicron Trilogy" universe has gone through many notable changes in his personality as his story has progressed After battling the Autobots they were teleported away by Unicron and supplemented by a new ability - making mindless clones of themselves (similar to the Generation One Insecticons). Insecticons is the name given to a sub-group of Fictional characters in the Transformers Universes, referred to as Insectrons in the Japanese version They invaded Earth in their thousands, attacking Toronto, Moscow, Los Angeles and Tokyo. Toronto (təˈrɒntoʊ colloquially pronounced or) is the largest city in Canada and is the provincial capital of Ontario Moscow (Москва́ romanised: Moskvá, IPA: see also other names) is the Capital and the largest city of Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West officially, is one of the 47 prefectures of Japan and located on the eastern side of the main island Honshū. The earthbound Autobots were about to be overwhelmed when help arrived from the most unlikely source of all - Megatron, who had been resurrected in a new body by Optimus Prime inside Unicron in return for stopping the Terrorcon invasion. The " Unicron Trilogy " version of Optimus Prime (based on the character of the same name) is a fictional character and the main protagonist of this branch Surprisingly keeping his end of the bargain, Megatron buzzsawed through the assorted Terrorcon clones, driving them from the cities they had attacked, before catching up with Scorponok in the Canadian Yukon. Yukon (ˈjuːkɒn is the westernmost and smallest of Canada's three territories. Scorponok proved more of a challenge however and the two Unicron-enhanced warriors were well matched. After seemingly burying Megatron under a hill, Scorponok was killed as he was stabbed in the back by Megatron's energon blade.

Any further tales of the Terrorcons would remain untold, as the Energon comic series would end with Megatron's defeat of Scorponok.
