Renegade Rhetoric
Cy-Kill created Pincher as an ambassador to Vamp and Scorp on Antares III. Pincher was successful, bringing them into Cy-Kill's orbit. Renegade Rhetoric (1), 2015/10/15 Cy-Kill worried, however, that Vamp and Scorp were a bad influence on Pincher and was leery of creating a Monster GoBot block within his force.

Pincher participated in several more Renegade misadventures, notably attacking a UNECOM base on Mercury, temporarily defecting back to the Master Renegade's side, and tracking down the mysterious Renegade Gong to help find the missing Cy-Kill when he was stranded in Axiom Nexus.

Ask Vector Prime
When a Primax and a Gargent universe were tuned together, Pincher was one of several Monster GoBots in the service of the Master Renegade on Antares III. They engaged in the practice of capturing any and all who chanced to land on their planet and throwing them in a pit of Dactyl monsters, though not before giving them a mockery of a trial.
