According to the Deathbringer, the Reapers were warriors who caused utter destruction. However, their prowess caused them to be feared even among their own, leading to isolation and bringing them towards madness. They found each other and resolved to use their powers to destroy war within the universe by eliminating violent races and removing things worth fighting over. They laid waste to the strategically important planet, Mumu-Obscura, to remove it from the equation and spare needless future conflict. When Decepticon Sixshot arrived on Mumu-Obscura to locate the his 'friends', the Terrorcons, the Reapers attacked him as a test of his abilities. The Deathbringer offered Sixshot a place among them if he would kill the Terrorcons, but Sixshot was still unable to sever his connections to the Decepticons. The Reapers accepted his decision and said that they would cross paths with him again, hoping that he would later be able to accept their offer. Spotlight: Sixshot

Escalation issue 6 After a period of observation in Earth's orbit, they decided that Earth should be destroyed and did not care whether Sixshot helped them or fought them. However, this was observed by Nemesis Prime, who had his own agenda for Earth, and sent Galvatron to stop the Reapers.Devastation issue 3 The Reapers attacked the Decepticon base, prompting Megatron to recall Sixshot from his battle with the Autobots. Devastation issue 4 When Sixshot arrived, they again requested he join them or be destroyed. When Sixshot's rival Starscream joined the battle, Sixshot decided to join with the Reapers, but Starscream quickly deactivated him with a shutdown command. Starscream then proceeded to bomb the Reapers and the Decepticons soon joined the attack. Devastation issue 5 During the battle with the Decepticons, the Reapers initially had the advantage and were able to kill the Battlechargers. Galvatron covertly turned the Deathbringer into a harbinger of unlife, sending him to destroy the others simply by touch. Galvatron also blasted a bird-like creature who tried to attack him. The Deathbringer decimated his brothers, giving the Decepticons the edge they needed to finish off the remaining Reapers. Devastation issue 6
