The '''[[living metal]]''' from which [[Transformer]]s are constructed is known by many names, including '''protomatter''', '''technomatter''', '''sentio metallico''', '''birth metal''', '''cyber-matter''', '''Sparked metal''', '''elemental metal''', and '''Transformium'''. Usually depicted as the living stuff of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] itself, it is no ordinary metal, possessing a self-replicating cellular structure and a [[CNA|genetic code]]. Transformers are sometimes presented as having a "natural" [[alternate mode]] they take on at birth, defined by the hard-coded design schematics in their [[spark]], but their living metal is malleable and adaptable, and is capable of being programmed to reconfigure into new shapes, designs, and colors, allowing 'bots to change alternate mode as needed. Indeed, newborn living metal seems to ''desire'' a shape; if complications at birth prevent it from taking one, it is likely to die, and the spark of the Transformer to be extinguished with it. As with [[human]] flesh, when living metal dies, it is often shown to become drained of color; conversely, if infused with an excess of exotic energy, it has been known to unexpectedly [[spontaneous recoloration|take on new hues]] or even [[Transmetal|mutate into new shapes]].
One of [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]]'s twisted schemes involved corrupting a stolen [[Autobot]] [[protoform]] with Decepticon programming. In the process, the protoform scanned some attributes of [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]], but the Decepticon programming held—and Prime's dark doppelgänger '''[[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]]''' was born. Scourge is arguably Megatron's second in command, leading the new Decepticon forces, a much more effective unit than [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]]'s [[Predacon (RID)|Predacons]].

One of Megatron's twisted schemes involved corrupting a stolen Autobot protoform with Decepticon programming. In the process, the protoform scanned some attributes of Optimus Prime, but the Decepticon programming held—and Prime's dark doppelgänger Scourge was born. Scourge is arguably Megatron's second in command, leading the new Decepticon forces, a much more effective unit than Sky-Byte's Predacons.

He is a ruthless and cunning warrior who contains all of Optimus Prime's strengths and skill, but none of his compassion and mercy. He's also a very ambitious warrior, with plans to dethrone Megatron!

Scourge's greatest strength is also his weakness—his temper. Fearless and furious, he charges into battle wildly hacking his broadsword as his trailer combat deck launches missile barrages overhead. Yet his rage also makes him impatient, petulant, and easily provoked; it also scares the heck out of his subordinates.

Naturally, Sky-Byte sees Scourge as a threat on just about every level. For once, he's right.
