Fiction
Energon cartoon
As the Energon Saber, the Energon Saber Mini-Con Team served as Kicker's personal weapon/flying surfboard. He was able to call the blade forth out of thin air no matter where he was—the center of Cybertron, Destructive Power a planet in another universe, 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 and lent it to Ironhide for the Battle of the Asteroid Belt. Ironhide used it again to save Kicker from Rodimus, Prowl, and Landmine and got creamed, but he still saved Kicker so it was all good. Rodimus Friend or Foe? Ironhide would borrow it again when he followed Rodimus into Unicron's head to meet Alpha Q, A Tale of Two Heros and when Kicker arrived, he used it to beat up Alpha Q in order to bring out the being's true face. Alpha Q: Identity
It was next seen on Jungle Planet, when Kicker used it to help Inferno against an army of Terrorcons and a brainwashed Scorponok. Jungle Planet He later used it a surf board for a bit before lending it to Ironhide once again to fend off Scorponok. Bulkhead Optimus Prime borrowed it to defend Ocean Planet against Megatron.

Notes
- The Energon Saber Team did not receive its actual team name until a 2015 entry of the Facebook version of Ask Vector Prime.
- An early, unreleased version of the Energon Saber Mini-Con Team appeared in at least one Japanese magazine solicitation and toy show. Instead of having yellow translucent parts, the unreleased figures featured green. The reason for this variance is unknown.
