Energon Saber

WHY?!

The Energon Saber is a mighty blade composed largely of pure Energon, due to the component Mini-Cons having spent years embedded in pure Energon deposits. Though not as powerful as the legendary Star Saber sword, the Energon Saber is still a mighty weapon. With its strength, even a human like Kicker can hold his own against far larger Transformers.

The Energon Saber is composed of three Mini-Cons...

• Scattor the Cybertronic "x-wing" jet and blade-middle.

• Skyboom the Cybertronic shuttle and sword-hilt.

• Wreckage the Cybertronic star cruiser and blade-tip.

Fiction

Energon cartoon

The Energon Saber served as Kicker's personal weapon/flying surfboard. He was able to call it forth out of thin air no matter where he was -- the center of Cybertron Destructive Power, a planet in another dimension Jungle Planet, even the void of empty space. Spark.

He first obtained the sword at the battle of Plains City. The component Mini-Cons had escaped the destruction of Mars City by Tidal Wave and Scorponok, and accompanied Optimus Prime's team when Alpha Q sent his forces to attack Earth. The Mini-Cons formed into the Energon Saber, allowing Kicker to beat up some Terrorcons, and was then wielded by Ironhide against Scorponok Megatron's Sword.

Kicker took the saber back at the Battle of Lunar City Starscream the Mysterious Mercenary.

Trivia

• An early, unreleased version of the Energon Saber team appeared in at least one Japanese magazine solitication and toy show. Instead of having yellow translucent parts, the unreleased figures featured green. The reason for this variance is unknown.
