Cutthroat (G1)
- Cutthroat is a Decepticon Terrorcon in the Generation One continuity family.
While most Decepticons enjoy trashing Autobots, Cutthroat revels in it. He'll tear a mech to pieces with his bare claws in his bloodthirsty zeal, showing not one iota of mercy. His fighting is so barbaric that it even disturbs other Decepticons; especially considering how much energy he wastes in his frenzies. Still, none of his peers are brave enough to mention anything to Cutthroat; for fear that he'll turn his insatiable bloodlust on them.
Cutthroat can combine with the other Terrorcons to form Abominus, although he rather wouldn't because he thinks Abominus is too "tame" for his taste.

In the cartoons, Cutthroat appears to be the most maligned of the terrorcons, being routinely not included in shots featuring the rest of his gestalt team.
Marvel Comics continuity
- (Note: Events in italics occurred only in the Marvel UK books.)
Cutthroat and the Terrorcons served Scorponok on Cybertron, and journeyed to Nebulos under his command to conquer the populace and destroy their old foes, Fortress Maximus and his crew. The Terrorcons made a rather poor showing of themselves, however, after first being driven off by Computron and a pair of Headmasters, and later being the first to feel the enhanced firepower of the Autobot Targetmasters.
During the Decepticon Civil War, Cutthroat became yet another victim of Buzzsaw's rampage of carnage. Cold War! Some spot-welding, and he was repaired just in time to be blown away by Starscream in Washington D.C. Dark Star!
In 2009, Cutthroat and the Terrorcons were running an energy-sapping device on Earth when the temporal storm struck. They convinced their leader Soundwave to travel back in time to take revenge on Rodimus Prime and his crew, but wound up caught in the Time Wars of 1989 instead, joining with Rodimus and the modern Transformers under the command of Fortress Maximus and Scorponok against the power of Galvatron. Hopelessly overwhelmed by the mad Decepticon, Soundwave and the Terrorcons cut out, transporting themselves back to the future. Their fate after the time storm rebooted the future of the timeline is uncertain.
