Membros
Having served as an interrogator for both the Ministry of Science and of Defense, the being known as Membros is a sadist with a keen scientific mind. With a body that serves as a horrific testament to the dangers of careless Enerchanging, Membros takes great pleasure in his work and wishes to "perfect" the bodies and minds of his victims as his have been. He also has a habit of ending statements as questions, yes?
Fiction[edit | edit source]
Membros was ordered to oversee the interrogation of the Pharoid Oziron Rael by Baron Daegon. Deciding to take a more hands on role after his officers' methods yielded no results, Membros joined Oz and the other Micronauts just as he admitted that he'd just been playing along and exaggerating his pain levels to his prior interrogators. Having not gotten to put his skills to work in quite some time, Membros made promises of the agony that would soon befall Oz before the Ministry of Science's flagship suddenly came under attack by a team of New Acroyears who were after Oz. Refusing to let them take him, Membros attacked the Acroyears who had grabbed Oz, inadvertently sending him flying towards the hull breach their entrance had created. After the emergency shields activated just in time to save Oz, Membros accused him of feigning ignorance as to why the shields came up with such perfect timing but was punched out by the Pharoid before he could finish.

Later, as the Micronauts traveled through the Entropy Cloud, the Time Traveler showed them visions of what has been and what could be, including a glimpse of Membros. Micronauts: Revolution
After the Ministry of Science's defeat, Membros began working for Baron Karza as his supreme interrogator. Wrath of Karza #3 When Karza began his invasion of Earth, Membros led a squad in charge of pursuing and capturing the Micronauts dead or alive. After his team shot down the Heliopolis, Membros had them set down so they could collect their targets. Though the other Micronauts were knocked out by the crash, Acroyear had managed to remain conscious and gave his attackers what for until Membros knocked him out with an electric shock. As he gave his team the order to bring the Micronauts to their ship, Membros commented that he looked forward to resuming his interrogation of Oziron. Wrath of Karza #2
After their capture, Membros visited Oziron, Phenolo-Phi, and Biotron in their cell, poking fun at the state of disrepair Biotron had fallen into. Pleased that Oz remembered him from their first meeting, Membros informed him of the outcome of the war between the Ministries of Science and Defense. He then taunted the three of them with the information that Acroyear was currently being painfully "reconditioned" and that he believed the unaccounted for Larissa and Microtron perished in the Heliopolis's crash and subsequent explosion. After finally getting his long awaited session with Oz (during which he merely tortured the Pharoid for two hours without ever asking a single question), Membros learned he was wrong to assume the missing two Micronauts had met their end when they stormed his office after breaking their comrades out of prison. Wrath of Karza #3 After being overpowered and tied to a chair, Membros was interrogated by the Micronauts as to the whereabouts of the missing Acroyear. While Membros didn't have much information that was of use to them about Acroyear, he did eventually reveal that their current prison was orbiting Earth and that there was another section that housed the colossal Cybertronians that Karza had taken prisoner. After Larissa pulled Oziron aside, Membros was left alone with Phenolo-Phi, who began doing the "fun" part of interrogation on Membros now that her pacifistic teammate was gone.
After they located his ship in the prison's hangar, the Micronauts sent Membros inside ahead of them to disguise their taking over the ship. While the hyper-violent Omegatron cut down his men, Membros slipped away and thanked them for sacrificing themselves so that he may live. Wrath of Karza #4
After Baron Karza allied himself with the Dire Wraiths, Membros marveled at how the Wraiths' magic and physiology was able to channel the energies of the Entropy Cloud, expressing his desire to dissect one of their numbers to the Wraith god the Absence. After noticing that some of the base's sentries were failing to check in, Membros warned the others to remain vigilant and, as it became clear that the base was under attack, went to retrieve an upgraded Lobros and Antron from his workshop. When the Micronauts proved up to the challenge of his creations, a frustrated Membros decided to unleash his Hydra-Gas, a substance that would kill everyone except him. However, the Micronauts' new ally Rom stopped him by shooting off the hand Membros' gas was emitting from. While the potentially Entropy-immune Rom encouraged the Micronauts to leave before the Entropy Cloud escaped from the Wraith machinery while he kept an eye on Membros, Membros informed the Space Knight that he had no intention of stopping him and his allies from escaping. Having failed Baron Karza, Membros had to escape as well, and whether they manage to kill Baron Karza or not, either option would serve him. Membros then called Lobros and Antron to his side as they made their exit. Entropy
