- Icepick is a Decepticon in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Icepick doesn't believe in "survival of the fittest" so much as "destruction of the obsolete". He follows the concept of Planned Obsolescence with the fanatical devotion of a true believer, signing up for his role in demolitions because of it, and preaching to all who will listen how the destruction of today will be recycled into a newer, brighter, and more advanced Decepticon tomorrow. Icepick is as endlessly cheerful and enthusiastic a Decepticon as you'll ever find, and though his endless attempts to win new recruits through moving, heartfelt oratory have had very limited success, his superiors appreciate the limitless ferver behind them.
He can combine with his fellow Pretender Monsters to form Monstructor.
Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity
Generation 1
In an alternate future where the Decepticons had conquered much of Earth, Icepick and his fellow Pretender Monsters were led by Galvatron to the remains of New York City in an attempt to root out the last remaining vestiges of Autobot and human resistance.
When Wildfly made an offhand observation about Galvatron's insanity, Icepick threatened him with lethal retribution if he endangered the group again. After Galvatron sent them on their way, Icepick himself reflected on how Galvatron was "as loony as they come." He thought a bit about how he might run the Decepticon empire if he were in charge... and while doing so, absent-mindedly walked right into the tripwire of a human-made booby trap, setting off an explosion that buried him under tons of debris. Slog exited his Pretender shell to dig him out.
It appears that he survived relatively unharmed, as the silhouette of his distinctive claws were seen when the Pretender Monsters rejoined the Decepticons to defend the Decepticon Powerbase against an Autobot attack.
Devil's Due G.I. Joe vs. Transformers comics continuity
Icepick was among a group of Decepticons who made a deal with Cobra-La, receiving power-enhancing organic shells in exchange for defending Cobra-La's underground kingdom.
