The Matbots and Matcons
The Matbots were created by a benevolent god and planet-like robotic being known as Matus. After Matus used his energy in creating them, he went into stasis and the Matbots colonized on him.
Matbot 1 was once but a lowly warrior known as Matbot Phi, one of the earlier models of Matbot but far from oldest. He hailed from the planet Matatron. He and Matatrouns, a fellow warrior were top ranked gladiators in the arenas of Maticon a large industrial city that was the capital of Matatron. Peace had reigned for a good time, but political issues would soon arise that would tear apart the bonds between Matbot Phi and Matatronus.
Civil War
Uknown to any of the matbots, a malevolent god had sent some of his heralds to infiltrate their planet's government and weaken the Matbots in preparation for invasion in which he would ultimately destroy his old rival, Matus. This god was another planet-like robot was known as Maticron. Both Matatronus and Matbot Phi agreed that something needed to be done about the newest laws. However Matbot Phi was deluded into thinking that the system would work in his favor, while Matatronus decided to take a more...direct approach in solving their problems. Matatrous killed several high ranking members of the high council including every last of the matbot primearchs. Matbot Phi inherited the Nexus of Leadership from the last remaining primarchs, learning of the moles. While they were ultimately forever torn apart Matbot Phi, now Matbot 1 due to his rank and Matatronus, Now the self-proclaimed Matcon 1 would have to join forces one more time to remove the moles. Afterward, Matcon 1 failed at an attempted backstab on an already wary Matbot 1 and fled the planet knowing that the war had wasted all of it's resources and knowing that Maticron would destroy it anyway. Matbot 1 and his team of Matbots gave chase while leaving a skeleton crew to watch for Maticron.
First arrival on earth
No data was recorded on this visit and one may guess that it was short lived as Maticron may have arrived at their homeworld sooner than expected. The Matbots all chased the Matcons back to Matatron.
Return to Earth
After many years of battle against Maticron the Matbots all returned to earth. The Matbots joined Matbot 7 in paragon city while the Matcons arrived in the rouge isles where there was more opportunity to do evil and get away with it.
Trivia
- Matcon 1 is an obvious homage to Megatron. His backstory is a mix of various megatrons but he mostly resembles Movie Megatron. Matatronus is a refrence to Prime Megatron's old name, Megatronus. There is no equivalent to the original holder of that name though.
- Previously known as Matbot 2 and Matbot 3, he was remade on City of Heroes Homecoming on the Everlasting server as a War Mace/Invincibility Brute with a head that closer resembles G1 Megatron and wielding the Mattergon Energy Mace with the name Matcon 1.
