Saberback

Saberback's History

Saberback was contained in one of the many stasis pods on the Axalon that were ejected when the ship was caught in a battle with the Darksyde and left in orbit above the planet they crashed on. The pod was soon brought down to the surface due to sabotage carried out by Blackarachnia. Before he could activate, Saberback was discovered by the Vok who, using knowledge gleaned from Cheetor, reprogrammed him to serve their interests.

Saberback was sent out to capture Megatron, accomplishing his task via holographic manipulation while Polar Claw detained Optimus Primal.

When the two leaders awoke, the Children explained that the Vok sought to be rid of the Cybertronians until their experiments on the planet were complete and Saberback suggested that both crews could go into stasis lock until such time. The Children then took their leave, hiding in another of Saberback's holograms until Primal and Megatron realized they could escape while in their beast modes. However, the Children caught them during the attempt. Though Saberback initially fought Optimus Primal, he turned his focus to Megatron after the Predacon killed Polar Claw. Saberback cast a hologram cloak over himself and Inferno, but Megatron had gotten wise to the trick and reached through the field to grab the smaller mechanoids. Before Saberback could even finish his pleas for mercy, Megatron snapped him in two. The Child's death prompted Pakak to speak directly to Megatron.

Reanimated through Vok science, Saberback joined the rest of the Children of the Vok in an attack of the Darksyde only for the group to withdraw following the death of their masters.
