Saberhorn was a captive aboard the Alchemor when it crashed on Earth, although he wasn't on Fixit's prisoner manifest for reasons unknown. Freed during the impact, he took leadership of the civilization of Decepticons, alongside Scorponok and Glowstrike, and was sent out to obtain thermatanium. He was collecting some from a quarry near Crown City when he encountered Bumblebee, Strongarm, and Grimlock but was able to make off with a collection of ore. He took it to a steel mill to smelt it, and was again found by the Autobots. He seized Russell Clay as a hostage and almost succeeded in melting down Bumblebee, but was forced to flee after Grimlock grabbed him. He returned to the starship wreck where his bosses were unimpressed with his antics. Metal Meltdown
Saberhorn was in attendance after Steeljaw returned to the base with a group of recently freed Alchemor escapees for Glowstrike's consideration, reflecting fondly on Steeljaw's potential. Misdirection
When Steeljaw was talking to his troops about the chain of command, Saberhorn and Glowstrike arrived to have a word with him. Steeljaw assumed that they were onto his betrayal and prepared to annihilate them, but was instead shocked to learn that they were offering him a leadership position. As a display of his power and loyalty, Saberhorn, Glowstrike, and Sreeljaw dealt with a suspected terrorist amongst their ranks. Their conversation with Steeljaw ended when they walked into a weapons room and Glowstrike mentioned that there was a pod of Deception hunters that they needed help opening. Portals
Saberhorn and Glowstrike didn't take lightly to being summoned by Steeljaw, but they were more than impressed when he opened the weapons container. Saberhorn then asked Steeljaw to hand them over, but instead, Steeljaw turned his new-found weapons on Saberhorn and Glowstrike. During their later confrontation against the Autobots, Saberhorn and Glowstrike bowed to Steeljaw as he claimed the Alchemor to be the first outpost of his new empire. Decepticon Island (Part 1)
Saberhorn accused Steeljaw of stealing the island after he was kindly accepted to be one of their own, but Steeljaw counters with a sarcastic statement. After their skirmish with the Autobots, resulting in Windblade's capture, Glowstrike held Bumblebee's dropped Decepticon Hunter against Steeljaw, but Steeljaw reacted quickly by shooting down both Saberhorn and Glowstrike. Saberhorn was most likely re-frozen after the Autobots detonated a stasis bomb in the ship's ventilation system, along with the other Decepticons. Decepticon Island (Part 2)
