Bludgeon (Cyberverse)
| The name or term "Bludgeon" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Bludgeon (disambiguation). |
- Bludgeon is a Decepticon from the Cyberverse continuity family.
Bludgeon is a bot of very few words. None at all, in fact. However, he's happy to let his sword do the talking as it slices through any opposing Autobot...or Decepticon, should they ever cross him.

Bludgeon attended Starscream's memorial alongside Soundwave, Shockwave, Shadow Striker, and other notable Decepticons. Slipstream later approached him as he was practicing, asking if he'd seen any of her Seeker subordinates. She left in frustration when his only reply was stoic silence and slicing up a training dummy. When the Autobot Hot Rod was fleeing the Nemesis, Bludgeon unsuccessfully attempted to ambush him, but the Autobot managed to evade his sword strike and flee before Bludgeon was able to follow up. Bring Me The Spark Of Optimus Prime
When Megatron and Optimus Prime agreed to a meeting to discuss allying in order to face the threat of a Starscream armed with both the AllSpark and Vector Sigma, Bludgeon was present aboard the Nemesis when it arrived at the location of the Ark. He was witness when Slipstream approached Soundwave and came under attack when Soundwave accused her of treason. Slipstream managed to knock Soundwave out briefly and limp away as Bludgeon ominously observed things from underneath the Nemesis's landing ramp. When Slipstream managed to convince Windblade that she had actual, genuine information about Starscream, Windblade was about to escort her to meet with Optimus and Megatron when Bludgeon suddenly ran the Seeker through from behind. Goading Windblade into attacking, Bludgeon instigated a battle between both sides that ruined the peace talks. Parley
As the Decepticons attempted to track Starscream down, Shadow Striker tasked Bludgeon with finding a weakness to his army of monstrosities. Bludgeon subsequently discovered they were completely vulnerable to being sliced into pieces. As soon as he was finished, he was confronted by Windblade, eager to avenge Slipstream and how she was killed by a cowardly strike from behind. Despite Windblade's best efforts, Bludgeon overpowered her and was about to finish her off when Wheeljack, having just escaped after being kidnapped by Shockwave, blasted him with a Mega Magnetizer that disrupted his movements, then sent him floating helplessly into the air with an anti-gravity modulator.
