monition : spoilers ahead forTransformers : Beast Wars#15 !
Fan - favoriteTransformersfrom theBeast WarsTV show Tigatron , Airazor and Inferno last just debut in IDW Publishing ’s comic account book series , but their unique roles transfer everything reader realize about theBeast Warsmythos .
In the television series , Tigatron and Airazor were a couple of the protoforms that the Maximals successfully retrieved from their pods , which had been orbit the foreign planet ever since they were buck from the Maximals ' ship during its clank - landing place . Inferno was also such a protoform except the Predacons got to him first and , after brainwash him , reprogrammed himinto one of their own . However , something obviously went wrong because after his pod couple him with a fire emmet , Inferno in reality thought he was a substantial fervency pismire , always obsess with protect the colony and serving his queen , a theatrical role he attribute to the Predacon loss leader Megatron , much to the latter ’s annoyance .

But in the comedian , all three of them are not only work together , but are self - proclaimed tike of the Vok , as let out inTransformers : Beast warfare # 15by writer Erik Burnham , creative person Winston Chan , colorist Ellie Wright and letterers Nathan Widick and Jake Wood . Tigatron , Airazor and Inferno are also ally with thetwo Transformers Saberback and Polar Clawwho captured Megatron and Optimus Primal in the former issue . In matter # 15 , the five youngster of the Vok reveal to their captive that they underwent a spiritual wakening and therefore are align neither with the Maximals or Predacons , but now protect the planet in Robert William Service of the Vok , the inscrutable alien race that have been experimenting on the planet .
The fact that any Transformer is associated with the Vok changes everything fan have understood about the mysterious alien . In the tv serial publication , the Vok were not interested in mingling with the Transformers except to threaten and torture them . Earlier issue in the cartoon strip have already showed theVok using the Transformersas part of their on-going experimentation , but never to the extent of actually working with them .
It is , however , quite appropriate that IDW chose to have Tigatron , Airazor and Inferno pledge allegiance to the Vok even though it ’s odd to see the three together . Upon his awakening in the TV show , Tigatron always associated more as a snow Panthera tigris than a Transformer . He was also a fervent defender of the planet , always submit it personally whenever any form of the satellite ’s indigenous life was harmed . His trueness to the planet was so deep that he even temporarily defected from the Maximals to live in the wild after hisactions in the Beast Warsled to the demolition of the planet ’s wildlife . Meanwhile , Airazor always preferred scouting in the wild with Tigatron in the goggle box show , which further strengthened their shackle . Similarly , Inferno ’s aforementioned malfunction makes him a thoroughgoing youngster of the Vok , even if it is a major modification for him to see anyone butMegatron as the poof .
The very whimsey that the Vok are uncoerced to mingle with transformer and make the so - called Children of the Vok is quite a retcon , even if these mystic aliens are just using them as part of their overall experimentation . But IDW Publishing is doing it right by make Tigatron , Airazor and Inferno a part of it . It ’s peculiarly welcome that Inferno is returning in any shape or form as he was one of the more popular characters in theTransformers : Beast WarsTV show , but each of these characters ' railroad tie to the natural world make them a fascinating third group in the classicMaximal vs Predacon conflict .
