- Caliburn is a Decepticon Micromaster from the Universe war.
Caliburn hails from an alternate Cybertron, one where the Autobots are all but extinct. He is a personal attendant of Megazarak, gleefully tagging along, picking off anything that survives Megazarak's onslaught.
He peppers his acts of destruction and cruelty with quips and gallows humor; he enjoys twisting the knife before delivering the killing blow. He relishes the death and destruction, and follows Megazarak's commands happily. Megazarak tolerates Caliburn's gab since the tiny terror's "lightning blaster" mode has incredible power, unleashing blasts of 60-kilovolt bursts of electricity.
