The Cyber Caliber is one of the relics of the Thirteen, and a creation of Solus Prime. Much like its intended wielder Nexus Prime, the sword could split apart into five separate weapons for his components to wield, or merge into a single exceedingly sharp blade. The sword was said to be able to repair or disassemble any device.

  • "Cyber Caliber" was once believed to be an obscure alternate name for Cybertron-era Vector Prime's sword, "Rhisling".<ref>Previous revisions of the Rhisling page on TFWiki.net reported this fact variously citing instruction sheets or Japanese sources.</ref> That may have been true, but if so, the source of the information currently remains lost to the fog of time—or vanishing online content.

  • The name of this sword from Exiles is presumably a homage to Vector Prime's sword, which, as stated above, may or may not have actually been called "Cyber Caliber".
  • The Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime told how the Cyber Caliber was reformatted into the Rhisling, homaging the confusion surrounding the origin of the term "Cyber Caliber".
