| The name or term "Cy-Kill" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Cy-Kill (disambiguation). |
- Cy-Kill is an evil Renegade from the GoBots continuity family.
Cy-Kill is a cyborg alien from the planet Gobotron. Once, long ago, he was one of the greatest of the heroic Guardians. Along with his partner Leader-1, Cy-Kill was even named a High Protector of their world. Though originally content to share power with his friend, when Leader-1's fame began to eclipse his own he chaffed at the idea of being "lesser" to anyone. His boundless pride, ego and ambition to power lead him to rebel and take command of the scattered Renegade forces. If he could not rule Gobotron by popular acclaim he would take it by force! Cy-Kill seems to be quite at home in the role of brutal, ambitious warlord and would be world-conqueror. He was having a good time, fighting those do-gooder Guardians, when suddenly his entire dimension was placed in dire peril. Well, crap.
He's very theatrical.
Fiction
Timelines
The Doctor's report was clear. Due to cosmological interference from another universe, a great Cataclysm was destroying their own. This other universe was populated by strange, robot creatures, struggling through a similar galaxy-spanning civil war.
There was no saving their own universe, and no rational reason to destroy the universe that was removing theirs. Cy-Kill and his rival, Leader-1 assembled their respective factions, explained their dire situation, and put together a team. This team would reconfigure their bodies to disguise themselves amongst these otherdimensional robots, use the Dimensional Interfacer to travel to their universe, and seek out help. Withered Hope
Ask Vector Prime
In Gargent 087.0 Kappa, Cy-Kill received word that six strangers were fighting the Guardians. Assuming any enemy of the Guardians to be an ally of his, Cy-Kill dispatched his elite lieutenants to rescue the strangers and bring them back to his flagship, the Rogue Star. He tried to court the Spy Changers to his cause, but Optimus Prime saw through Cy-Kill's deception. Working in secret with the Guardians, the Spy Changers eventually destroyed the Renegades' bases on the planet Moebius which were threatening Cybertron. Cy-Kill was furious, but the combined might of the Guardians and the Autobots drove the Renegades off. Ask Vector Prime
Renegade Rhetoric
An increasingly desperate Axiom Nexus News hired a Cy-Kill to run Vector Prime's old column. He claimed to be "leader of the Renegades in exile", hoping to one day return home.
Among other answers, Cy-Kill said:
- Transformers make a funny noise when transforming because they suck, not like superior designed Renegades!
- If he conquered Earth, the most loyal and impressive humans would have their brains plonked in GoBot bodies.
Notes
- In case you haven't figured it out already, Cy-Kill is totally the guy from Challenge of the GoBots. For real!
- Cy-Kill is constantly "easter egged" in various Transformers stories. But, like, GoBots were totally lame, so wouldn't it be hilarious if he was repeatedly killed over and over again because he was lame? Yeah!
- A character identical to Cy-Kill was seen in the processing center of Axiom Nexus in "Transcendent: Part 1", not far from the interdimensional GoBot exploration team. It seems unlikely this could have been the actual, in-story Cy-Kill, as this individual had not adopted a new disguise which was essential for the GoBot explorers. Complicating matters is the actual Cy-Kill (or a actual Cy-Kill) wandering around Axiom Nexus undisguised for the "Ask Vector Prime" column.
- According to the Challenge of the Gobots episode, "Et tu, Cy-Kill?", Cy-Kill's military title before betraying Leader-1 and leading the Renegade faction was High Protector, much like somebody else we know.
- The main pic of this article was used on October 13, 2015 as the image for Renegade Rhetoric. You'll also notice that the figure of Cy-Kill (but not the background) are taken from a screencap from the Challenge of the Go-Bots cartoon. A cartoon still owned by Hanna-Barbera/Time-Warner. Before the end of the day, the Renegade Rhetoric image was changed to an original, less lawsuity drawing of Cy-Kill.
