Scythe (Thirteen)

This article is about Amalgamous Prime's weapon. For the Mini-Con, see Scythe (Cybertron).

Just wait until he turns that thing into a Fancy Santa.

Though nominally a Scythe, the chosen weapon of Amalgamous Prime is just as unpredictable as its bearer, ever-changing and taking on other forms and states of matter, from solid to liquid and back again.

“Woah! Is that a scythe?”
”It's also a customizable high-impact sniper rifle!”
“A-wha…?”
“It’s also a gun.”

Notes

• The weapon known as the Scythe being able to take on any form reads uncannily like a reference to the webcomic Problem Sleuth.
• The Transformers One incarnation of Amalgamous was depicted wielding a large scythe weapon, though if it possessed any shape changing capabilities they weren’t shown. Andrew Hussie may have had a lasting effect on Transformers. Terrifying.
