'''Saberback''' (セイバーバック ''Seibābakku'') is a mysterious warrior. His origins are shadowy at the very best. All anyone ''does'' know is that he is a warrior not to be taken lightly. He is an expert in black [[magic]] and can create deadly illusions and spells. He is evil to the core and his wizardry reflects it. Saberback prefers to remain hidden during battle and perform his trickery from a safe place. This makes him difficult to locate by the enemy.<br />
<br />
One of his favorite hobbies outside of sorcery is the constant berating of the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Sling]].<br />

*'''Saberback''' (Deluxe, 1999)<br />
**''Japanese ID number'': '''D-30'''<br />
**''Accessories'': Tail-weapon<br />
<br />
: Saberback transforms into an organic ''stegosaurus''. He also has a dubious (well...okay, lame) third "Claw Trap Mode" that basically involves splaying out the dino-limbs so he's on his belly, then raising up the dino-spine and tail so the opening panels on the tail-claw face forward. His tail detaches to become a hand-held (non-firing) blaster/claw-weapon for robot mode. Saberback's robot mode has a rather Aztec feel to it, what with the headdress, loincloth, and skull chest decoration.<br />
<br />
: This mold was also used to make the ''[[Beast Machines (franchise)|Beast Machines]]'' [[Dinobot (BM)|Dinobot]] [[Striker]] and the [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] ''[[Transformers: Dinobots|Dinobots]]'' [[Snarl (Dinobots)|Snarl]].<br />
