Crysmag metal


 * Crysmag metal is a substance from the Headmasters portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.



The powerful crysmag metal is a substance found only in the sunken continent of Lemuria. When energy is directed against it, it absorbs, magnifies and redirects that energy, projecting it outwards.

As part of his final plan for the destruction of Earth, Decepticon emperor Scorponok set up base in Lemuria beneath the Indian Ocean. Mining crysmag ore, Scorponok had it forged into metallic “Death Towers,” which erupted from beneath the Earth in four key locations around Earth – Canberra, Australia, an unidentified point in South America, Washington D.C. and the Egyptian desert. Unwitting Autobot attacks on the towers only proved to them that such a strategy was foolish, while Scorponok outfitted the towers with induction boosters, causing them to draw in ambient energy and redirect it to a satellite he had installed in Earth orbit. Pulling back to the North Pole, where he raised a final crysmag platform, Scorponok had the satellite direct the energy into his Transtector as he stood upon the platform, creating a loop that would tear the Earth apart. Thankfully, a power boost courtesy of the united energy of the entire Autobot army allowed Fortress Maximus to counter the energy flow with the Master Sword – the feedback destroyed the satellite, and presumably the Death Towers as well.
