| This article is about the Mini-Con. For Amalgamous Prime's weapon, see Scythe (weapon). |
- Scythe is a Mini-Con Triple Changer from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
His teammates may also have weapon modes, but Scythe is the undisputed muscle of Anti-Blaze's team, capable of even taking on some full-sized Bulks on his own. A born fighter and natural battlefield commander, Scythe has always backed Anti-Blaze and protected him, no matter the odds. Now with the threat of the Sky Terror Mini-Con Team and other rebels threatening to turn the Mini-Cons into the slaves of the Decepticons once again, Scythe is ready to wade in to the thickest, most dangerous situations and bust a few heads!
Fiction
Cybertron comic
Scythe and his allies once worked for six stellar cycles to construct an evacuation fleet, which would allow the Mini-Cons to flee to the distant S-K System. The entire plan was ruined when Thrust destroyed all of it in less than an hour.
But thanks to Anti-Blaze's successful campaign against the insurgents, he, along with Scythe and Checkpoint, became akin to folk heroes to the Mini-Con population. Anti-Blaze, Scythe, & Checkpoint's profile in Club magazine #11 Scythe became chief of security for the Mini-Cons operating from the small Cybertronians' primary colony in the massive debris field between Cybertron's moons. After the outbreak of the Unicron Singularity, the colony was attacked by the Decepticon Landquake and a cadre of rebels. Revelations Part 4 The threat of the insurgence was soon eclipsed by the arrival of Unicron himself. Revelations Part 5 Scythe and his allies fought alongside a rag-tag team of Autobots until Cybertron transformed itself into Primus's robot mode. Faced with his ancient adversary, Unicron chose to flee instead of fight.
After the Unicron Singularity was ultimately closed, the Mini-Cons and Optimus Prime entered into negotiations for a peaceful co-existence between humans and mutants Bulks and Mini-Cons. Revelations Part 6

- Ramjet vs. Scythe (Mini-Con 2-pack, 2006)
- Released in the third wave of Cybertron Mini-Con 2-packs, Scythe is a redeco of the Armada Emregency Mini-Con Team member Makeshift, transforming into both a twin-rotor helicopter similar to an Osprey. He also has a third "weapon" mode, turning into a double-gatling cannon.
- He was available only in a two-pack with the Sky Terror Mini-Con Team member Ramjet.
- This mold was also used to make Impulsor and Rotor, while a slightly-retooled version of the mold was used to make Bulge.

Notes
- Early online store solicitations for the Cybertron two-pack listed it as "Scimitar vs. Ramjet", presumably an earlier working name for Scythe.
