The Cyber Caliber is one of the relics of Thirteen. It is a large, powerful, and exceedingly sharp sword, and it is powerful enough that Nexus Prime was willing to sacrifice himself as to ensure its safety.
Fiction
Exiles
The Cyber Caliber was created by Solus Prime. After the defeat of Liege Maximo, Nexus Prime took custody of the relic and decided it must be hidden away till it could not be done without. He separated himself into five beings, each carrying and guarding a fragment of the Cyber Caliber. Much later, a newly reformed Nexus Prime granted it to Optimus Prime, who used it to fight Megatron to a standstill on the planet Junkion. After the Requiem Blaster was fired from the Nemesis, the Cyber Caliber had disappeared, blown away by the explosion. After the battle, each of the five Nexus Prime Transformers once again took a piece of the sword as they split up and headed out into space in different directions. Exiles
Notes
- "Cyber Caliber" was once believed to be an obscure alternate name for Cybertron-era Vector Prime's sword, "Rhisling".<ref>Previous revisions of the Rhisling page on TFWiki.net reported this fact variously citing instruction sheets or Japanese sources.</ref> That may have been true, but if so, the source of the source of the information currently remains lost to the fog of time—or vanishing online content.
- The name may have been originally inspired by the famous fictional sword, Excalibur. If the original source of the name was Japanese, the English spelling of "Cyber Caliber" (as opposed to "Cyber Calibur") may have come down to a transliteration choice.
- The name of this sword from Exiles is presumably an homage Vector Prime's sword, which, as stated above, may or may not have actually been called "Cyber Caliber".
