Beast Wars: Uprising

Flytrap was major domo to Queen Rage after she conquered Triax and Perihex (redubbed "Rageland") during the Grand Uprising. Although Lio Convoy and the Resistance soon ceded Praxus to her as well, Queen Rage fell under siege by the Vehicon Apocalypse. Flytrap and the queen's entourage were slowly forced back from the city limits, corralling what remained of the population inside the castle walls. They only survived the siege when, at the last moments, all Vehicons were rerouted to Iacon.

After the war, Queen Rage's sovereignty was recognized by the newly organized Cybertronian Parliament. She nominated Flytrap to serve as her representative on that august body. Derailment

Notes

• At some point during the planning for Beast Wars Telemocha Series, the idea was tossed around to create some brand new toys for the line. Internal TakaraTomy documents include designs for a jellyfish, a manticore, and a triffid. The triffid was later characterized by the Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime.
• Triffids are a fictional species of aggressive plants from the novel The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham.
