Chris Killah

Chris Killah is a human from the Dreamwave portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Chris Killah is a reporter who isn't afraid to be the story he's reporting on.

Killah cut his teeth at The Times, writing splashy, pathos-driven "special investigations" and exposés rehashing old stories in his signature style. From there he moved to MNT, the Music News Television network, where he cultivated his image as a sunglassed media vulture who always appeared at the worst possible moment bearing leading questions.

Killah's next goal is the cover of Newsweek. And if media mogul Iolus Monk has his way, he'll get it.

Fiction

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

In 2002, Chris Killah wrote a retrospective on the Ark II tragedy for The Times titled, "Reliving the '99 Ark II Tragedy: What Happened?: A Special Investigative Report by Chris Killah." Killah employed every fragment sentence known to man to forge his "investigative report", which consisted mostly of asking rhetorical or open-ended hypothetical questions. Prime Directive #1

Six months later, Chris Killah and his MNT news crew bribed their way onto a disaster zone in Tokyo to interview Bumblebee and Prowl about the massive deaths and disappearances. He promised his crew fat bonuses if they got a hot story.

Killah claimed his interview was set up by the US Administration to ease tension in the wake of the disaster, but it was actually the work of media mogul Iolus Monk who planned to fan the flames of fear for ratings. Framing the two Autobots against the destroyed city, Killah peppered them with speculative questions about the nature of the threat they faced and how terrified people should be. The flustered Bumblebee suggested that the strange lights previously reported by Hugo Fortuna could indicate the involvement of a third, unknown, alien race.

Sensing the interview was getting out of hand, Prowl forcibly cut it off by jamming the transmission from the crew's camera. They had been live on the air. Hardwired

Notes

• Killah's "signature on-air style" consists of blue jeans, a grey sweater, Ray-Ban sunglasses, and a long black duster. Apparently he dresses like a turd, too.
