- Slaughter is a Decepticon from an unknown continuity family.
Lost to the mists of time, Slaughter was an ancient Decepticon warrior. His tale was recounted by the sage Alpha Trion, who possesses his signature weapon, a massive sword. Evidently, much of his core programming was encoded onto the sword, giving it somewhat of a will of its own long after Slaughter's demise. As a result, the weapon is as close as a technological item can manage towards being cursed, requiring of its wielders a potent mental fortitude to avoid being overwhelmed by it and forced to pick up Slaughter's work where he left off.
Whether or not Slaughter's core programming was able to suborn even Alpha Trion is up for debate, but certainly something about the old Autobot isn't quite right.
Fiction
TransTech
Slaughter's sword was entrusted by Alpha Trion to Skyfall, who he believed had the mental fortitude to withstand its subversive programming. Transcendent: Part 3 Ultimately, this turned out to be a ruse to gain the Autobot's trust, as Alpha Trion used that same sword to kill Skyfall by thrusting it through his spark. Transcendent: Part 6
