Scythe (Cybertron)

Scythe is a Mini-Con from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy.

"You wants me to take care of them, Boss?"

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

Fun Publications Cybertron comic

Scythe was 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. The threat of the insurgence was soon eclipsed by the arrival of Unicron himself. 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. Balancing Act
