Tony Todd (December 4, 1954 – November 6, 2024) was an acclaimed American actor known for his deep, resonant voice and imposing screen presence. Born in Washington, D.C., and raised in Hartford, Connecticut, Todd trained in theatre at the University of Connecticut and the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center, building a foundation for his later work both on stage and screen. Todd's film career began in the mid-1980s with supporting roles in films like "Platoon" (1986) and "Sleepwalk" (1986). He rose to prominence for his starring role as Ben in "Night of the Living Dead" (1990) before achieving iconic status as the title character in the horror classic "Candyman" (1992), a role he would reprise in several sequels. His film credits also include "The Crow" (1994), "The Rock" (1996), "Wishmaster" (1997), and his recurring role as William Bludworth in the "Final Destination" series (2000–2025). In television, Todd was widely recognized for his recurring roles across the Star Trek franchise—most notably as Kurn, Worf's brother, in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," as well as other roles in "Star Trek: Voyager." He also made memorable appearances on shows like "Boston Public," "24," "The X-Files," "Smallville," and "Law & Order". Beyond live-action roles, Todd was a prolific voice actor. He contributed to the Half-Life video game series as the Vortigaunts, voiced The Fallen in "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" (2009), Zoom in "The Flash" (2014–2023), and played Venom in "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" (2023), for which he earned a BAFTA Games Award nomination. Todd’s theatre credentials were equally impressive, including starring roles in Broadway and regional productions such as August Wilson's "King Hedley II," "The Captain's Tiger," "Othello," and "Aida." His voice, physical stature, and range earned him critical acclaim and a lasting legacy in horror, science fiction, and dramatic arts. Tony Todd died from stomach cancer at his home in Marina del Rey, California, on November 6, 2024, at the age of 69. He had reportedly been quietly battling this illness during his final projects. Both "Final Destination: Bloodlines" and "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" were dedicated to his memory.

War for Cybertron has ended almost 20 years ago and Autobots and Decepticons created "Cybertronian society" and members of this society were leaders of every fraction: Optimus Prime - Autobots, Megatron - Decepticons, Grimlock - Dinobots (not really a fraction more of a team), Soundblaster - Mercenaries, Metroplex - Titans, Override - Speedracers from Velocitron, and Alchemist Optimus Primal who represented all beasts(maximals/predacons) Of course there were many bots who disagreed with this and Starscream was one of them, with his team and help of a strange "voice in his head" he corrupts Allspark and starts destroying everything and everyone, he was so strong with the allspark so even Optimus and Megatron couldn't stop him. Shortly after Starscream got allspark power the portal appears in the sky and someone one shots starscream in the back... That "Someone" was actually Megatronus Prime who telepathicly told Starscream what to do to get power, but he actually wanted Starscream to break the power balance and that would create a hole in the universes. Right after Megatronus entered our universe he tried to get the allspark and was attacked by Optimus and Metroplex. Megatronus instantly kills Metroplex and that shocks everyone. Optimus manages to take the allspark and commands everyone to retreat. Megatronus holds the hole between universes so it wouldn't close and many ancient Decepticons enter through it. They start destroying Cybertron and killing everyone.
