[[Image:Noble.jpg|right|thumb|250px|A Predacon Werewolf in [[Iacon]].]]

The strange organic monster known as '''Savage/Noble''' is the only known purely-organic Transformer. He was created as an unintended, unforseen side effect of [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] seeking to rid himself of the organic portions of his beast form. Once Megatron's animating spark left the beast it retained life and became a distinct living creature in its own right. Stripped of Megatron's mind however the thing that remained was basically all animal and acted as such. His humanoid form resembles a werewolf (referred to as '''Noble'''), and his alt-mode is a dragon-creature (known as '''Savage'''). The animalistic Savage/Noble formed a close bond with [[Nightscream (BM)|Nightscream]] akin to that between a boy and his dog.

When Savage/Noble first appeared, the creature was basically Megatron in disguise, his spark having been unexpectedly trapped in the organics he had sought to purge. It is unclear whether his seemingly random violent rages were genuine or if they were a deliberate ruse. Once he seemed to gain more self-control and began speaking, Noble claimed to be a survivor of the transformation lock virus in need of help, and so he was quickly accepted into the [[Maximal]] fold and befriended by [[Nightscream]]. After the Maximals led him to Megatron's Citadel, Megs made his move, and downloaded his [[spark]] into a [[Grand Mal|Giant Warship]]. The discarded Savage/Noble entity was left a pure beast with an instinctual mind and no spark. Noble continued to follow Nightscream, helping where he could but also at times jeopardizing the team. The first time Megatron consumed all the sparks on Cybertron, the creature attacked him and he killed Noble. This sacrifice led to the enraged Nightscream stopping Megatron. The ill-fated creature was later mourned by the Maximals and praised for his sacrifice.

==Toys==
===Beast Machines===
*'''Beast Changer''' (2001)
The Beast Changer toy was originally released in the West in 2001 as part of the Beast Machines toyline. Hasbro was unable to attain the rights to the name "Savage/Noble," and so it was given the generic Beast Changer label. In 2005, the mold was later recolored to appear somewhat more show-accurate and released in Japan under the name "Noble Savage" as part of the ''Beast Wars Returns'' toyline, [[exclusive]] to Toys R' Us.

==Trivia==

*While "Savage" is clearly Megatron's Dragon half, it is unclear where the DNA for the wolf form "Noble" originated. Some fans have speculated a connection to [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]]'s wolf fuzor form but nothing in the show particularly supports this.

*Given the Beast era's focus on a Transformer's life force and personality being bound up in its spark, it is questionable whether Savage/Noble, after losing its spark, was technically still a Transformer.

*Perhaps due to a lack of communication, the "Beast Changer" toy's on-package [[bio]] posits a [[micro-continuity]] where post-Megatron Savage/Noble is a sentient being with an intelligence [[Tech Spec]] of 8.7. He hates Megatron, is quoted as saying: "Science has yet to match the force of Nature - allow me to demonstrate!" and considers himself a "self-proclaimed" outcast.

*Although Savage/Noble's "Beast Changer" toy was not a part of it, a sub-line of other beast-to-beast Transformers was later released with the title [[Mutant (BW)|''Beast Wars Mutants'']].

*[[Mainframe Entertainment|Mainframe]] would later borrow the "Noble" character model as a werewolf for the beginning of "Casper's Haunted Christmas."

[[Image:Nightscreambm.jpg|thumb|right|250px|I'd hit that…with a brick.]]
When armies of [[Vehicon]]s conquered [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], young '''Nightscream''' survived alone in the darkness below the surface of the planet. This trauma influences much of his behavior. He's always on the defensive. Paranoid. Rude. Distrusting. Confrontational. But really, he's just a troubled kid, and he's been through a lot. Inside, he's got a good heart. He's just got to learn to stop fighting friends and enemies alike.

Regardless, he seems to have found a kindred spirit in the wild [[Savage/Noble]] creature.

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
====''Beast Machines''====
''Voice Actor:'' [[Alessandro Juliani]] (US), [[Nobutoshi Canna]] (Japan)

When the Vehicons and their virus struck, Nightscream ran and panicked like many Maximals. He fell down a hole during the attack, and everything went dark. Though he would not recall the details later, somehow he wandered into a cave bearing the [[fossils]] of a strange, gigantic bat-creature, and his internal DNA scanners used them to reformat him an organic beast form and save him, at least temporarily, from the virus. Nightscream's mental state at this point is unknown, but he seems to have spent the next period hiding and feeding off a strange fruit tree he found growing below the planet's surface. Eventually, Optimus Primal and company arrived and, distrustful, he began to spy on their activities. When they spotted and pursued him, the ensuing confrontation ended up with his food source destroyed and his body reformatted to be [[technorganic]] like the other Maximals. He rather reluctantly agreed to join them, but continued to generally mope around and cop an annoying [[Darth Vader | Anakin-esque]] attitude with everyone.

In the course of events, Nightscream met and befriended Savage/Noble, whom he believed to be a fellow survivor of Megatron's attack. Thinking he'd found a kindred spirit, he dedicated himself to helping the wolf in dragon's clothing until it was revealed that his new friend was really Megatron all along. Despite this, when Megatron's [[spark]] separated from the Savage/Noble body, the dog-like beast that remained seemed to retain its attachment to the boy and followed him about like a big puppy. Then Megatron killed Savage/Noble, and the enraged Maximal unleashed his sonic powers on Megatron in retaliation, setting the stage for the final act of the war for the sparks. In the end, Nightscream and the other Maximals stopped Megatron's forces and reformatted the planet. And everyone rejoiced. Yay.

When armies of [[Vehicon]]s seiged [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], young '''Nightscream''' was cast into the darkness below the surface of the planet, and he was alone. His traumatizing solitude influences much of his behavior. He's always on the defensive. He lashes out. He's afraid. There are times he says mean things, or brings up the hurtful past when he should be courteously silent.

But he's just a kid, and he's been through a lot. Inside, he's got a good heart. He's just got to learn to stop fighting friends and enemies alike. He seems to have found a kindred spirit in the wild [[Savage/Noble]] creature.

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
====''Beast Machines''====
''Voice Actor:'' [[Alessandro Juliani]] (US), [[Nobutoshi Canna]] (Japan)

The usual story: Boy hides behind Soundwave imitator. Boy runs like a [[Powerdasher]] and falls down a hole. Boy wakes up as bat. Boy decides to use this to fight the cowardly and supersti-... um, I mean finds a strange fruit tree and lives off it. Other Maximals arrive, kill tree, and reformat bat into Bat-boy from ''Weekly World News'' (with added boy-band hair). Bat-boy mopes around and cops annoying Anakin-esque attitude with everyone.

Season 2: Bat-boy makes a friend. Friend turns out to be evil villain. Bat-boy mopes around and cops annoying Anakin-esque attitude with everyone again. Bat-boy's friend returns as a dragon/puppy dog. Evil villain kills dragon/puppy dog. Bat-boy unleashes Mary-Sue-level powers and avenges dragon/puppy dog. Everyone (except Waspinator) lives happily ever after.
