Tarn is a Decepticon supersoldier from the Cyberverse continuity family.
I hope they are watching. They'll see... they'll see... and they'll know... and they'll say... "why, he wouldn't even harm a fly..."

Part of the supposed perfect Decepticon race, Tarn was once simply a nameless drone, but no longer. With a mind of his own, his missing arm and battered state belies his sheer strength, though it pales in comparison to his deceptiveness. Living up to the symbol he wears on his face, Tarn deceives those around to accomplish his one goal: to surpass Megatron by finishing what he started. Much like the great leader he replaced, he fancies theatrics in front of a large audience to prove his capabilities and that of his army. If he did not believe other Decepticons would follow in his peace-destroying footsteps, Tarn would have been, and maybe still is, the perfect Decepticon.

I don't always have the hat.

In another universe, Megatron used the power of Vector Sigma to create a race of Decepticon supersoldiers. One of these soldiers evolved beyond his programming and named himself Tarn. He had, at some point, killed his universe's Soundwave.

Following Megatron's demise, the supersoldiers began fighting each other for leadership. Tarn was attacked by two other clones and escaped to another universe that Megatron had previously attempted to conquer, with the other supersoldiers in pursuit. Despite the Autobots and Decepticons restraining his pursuers, Tarn shot them with his cannon, claiming they posed a threat to everyone. After attempts to stop the fighting between the supersoldiers proved fruitless, Tarn offered a solution in the form of the Cortex Helm.

Tarn accompanied a small group of Autobots and Decepticons to find Thunderhowl, who led them to Onyx Prime's invisible floating island. Upon reaching the Cortex Helm’s chamber, Tarn stole the helm and reprogrammed the Decepticon supersoldiers to obey him. He then gave the other Decepticons an opportunity to join him.

Tarn brought Optimus Prime to an arena to fight his minions while rekindling the civil war between the factions. He sent wave upon wave of his soldiers to fight Prime until he was overwhelmed by superior numbers. Tarn intended to execute Optimus until Prime was saved by a group of Autobots. Tarn then ordered the Decepticons to attack, but they refused, sparking a battle between the combined Cybertronian factions and the invaders.

Tarn took the fight to Optimus himself while beaming in more forces. Having captured everyone, he gloated and again attempted to execute Prime. Hot Rod attempted to steal the Helm, but was beaten by Tarn. Soundwave arrived with Laserbeak and stole the Helm for himself. Tarn soon retrieved it, but Soundwave responded with a huge sound blast, killing Tarn while sacrificing himself. The Perfect Decepticon

Toys

[edit]

Legacy

[edit]
If you weren't afraid of Tarn before, how about Tarn with a sword???
  • Prime Universe Cliffjumper VS Beast Wars Universe Tarantulas, G1 Universe Squeezeplay, Cyberverse Universe Tarn (Multi-pack, 2024)
Legacy: United "Cyberverse Universe Tarn" is a redeco of Legacy: Evolution Comic Universe Tarn figure, transforming into a Cybertronian tank. Tarn's tank turret can detach, and the barrels can split off and peg into the turret to make an extra-long fusion cannon. His hands feature hinged knuckles, allowing them to open and close, but are unfortunately exposed on the tank mode's rear end. While transforming into tank, the head can turn 180 degrees to provide better clearance for the robot's back/front tank turret panel. Tarn also comes with an additional sword from Legacy Bludgeon.
The toy is not decoed to have a scar across its face and torso, and is (understandably) not missing an arm, so it better represents the Perfect Decepticon generics. Have fun army-building!
Tarn was packed in a 4-pack with Beast Wars Tarantulas, Prime Universe Cliffjumper, and G1 Universe Squeezeplay. Said 4-pack is exclusive to Target.
