Raksha
From Transformers Wiki
Raksha[1] was a prominent figure in Transformers fandom, circa the mid-1990s. She was rather controversial due to her opinions and actions supporting her view of the Decepticons in the original cartoon (namely, that they were an oppressed minority driven to acts of terrorism by their Autobot oppressors and were, in fact, the actual "good guys") and intense dislike for later media, such as Beast Wars.
She organized BotCon 1995, and created the character Nightracer.

The time-traveling Antagony described herself as Megatron's doom, his destruction, and his worst enemy.
Megatron naturally assumed this meant she was Raksha, his worst enemy. Antagony corrected this misunderstanding. Visitations Raksha may have been in league with Wonko the Sane. Ask Vector Prime
Notes
- In an interview on Kid Rhino's Beast Machines DVD set, David Kaye mentioned an encounter with Raksha at a BotCon convention:
- In similar fashion to the numerous other references to the fandom included in the Beast Wars cartoon, an homage to Raksha was planned for the episode "Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1)", in which the Cybertronian word for a blank protoform would have been given as a "Roc-shaan". The term didn't make it into the episode.
- She now spends her days breeding snakes and other exotic pets, largely unconnected to the Transformers fandom.
