Boltax is a character from the Transformers franchise, introduced as an unaligned artificial intelligence. In more recent storylines and the toyline he has been reintroduced under the name Cybaxx as an Autobot who turns into a space shuttle and ally of Scrounge.

History

Generation 1

Marvel Comics

Boltax first appears as a mountain temple who fashioned himself into a home for the Underbase, Cybertron's greatest repository of knowledge. Optimus Prime and his Autobots sought out the Underbase, unaware that Megatron and his Decepticons were in pursuit. A robotic avatar employed by Boltax appeared to meet them and allowed Optimus access to the Underbase, but denied it to Megatron and was destroyed; the true Boltax was left unharmed. However, Optimus then caused an explosion that sent the Underbase into space to keep it out of Megatron's hands, blasting it through the temple; Boltax's fate was left unknown.
