Fiction

Legends World

Tera-Kura Co. was originally led by Legends Megatron, who considered his company a rival of Optimus Primal's Axalon Trading Company but had his hands full with his eccentric employees. Rivals! Tera-Kura Co.! Megatron himself got pretty weird as well from studying Transformers too much, as Quickstrike learned when he visited the company for a job interview. The Results of Mega-chan's Studies Despite being rivals, a brief partnership between Tera-Kura and Axalon was formed when Megatron visited a Q-Transformers event with Optimus Primal and Rattrap.

The hierarchy changed when G1 Megatron arrived from another dimension and chose Tera-Kura Co. as his foothold in this world, interrupting a series of job interviews to take over the company. When the local Megatron refused to relinquish the title of president, he simply installed himself as a chairman ranked above president instead.

Through Tarantulas, Tera-Kura Co. struck a deal with the Decepticon Headmasters, getting access to their technology in exchange for providing them with transtectors. Headmaster Chapter Prologue Thus Decepticon Tera-Kura Co. was officially formed, LG22 Skullcruncher but a schism soon arose between the two groups: whereas Chairman Megatron wanted to stick to conquering the world through legitimate business, Headmaster leader Weirdwolf and Tarantulas preferred violent means. LG23 Galvatron Terrorsaur was the first to attempt a hostile takeover by hiring and empowering Scourge, who then betrayed him and tried to take the company for himself (and failed).

Tera-Kura Co. purchased Metroplex from Axalon Trading Company and made his city mode their new office building. LG31 Fortress Maximus Mindwipe took over the company for a short while by hypnotizing everyone else into serving him. LG34 Mindwipe Devil Z then bought up all the company's shares, effectively taking ownership of it and working the employees to the bone LG35 Super Ginrai until he was driven off and things returned to normal.

Weirdwolf's faction eventually rebelled against Chairman Megatron and attacked Tera-Kura Co. to steal Metroplex's transformation cog. Decepticon Civil War Megatron later departed to pursue a political career, Targetmaster Chapter Prologue so leadership of Tera-Kura fell back into the hands of Beast Megatron. Unfortunately for him, the company was then attacked by the Concurrence, who took control of its facilities to produce weapons and turned him into an evil, robotic lackey. While the Concurrence was ultimately driven off, Beast Megatron's mind was left split between his own body and that off Noble, who joined the company as a second president. LG63 G2 Megatron

Notes

• "Tera-Kura Co." is a pun that doesn't translate well into English. In Japanese, it is pronounced as "Terakurassha", similar to the Japanese name of the Predacon ship in Beast Wars, "Terror Crasher" (テラクラッシャー Tera Kurasshā).
• The name is also rendered in Latin letters as "Tera Craco" in "LG20 Skids" and "Tera Crush Company" in "LG63 G2 Megatron".
