"Slave Cy-Kill" abandoned Cybertron during the Great War.

Fiction

2005 IDW continuity

During an early battle of the war, this bot was one of the many civilians who took shelter within the walls of Iacon, under the protection of Swerve, Rung, and Mirage. Primacy #4

At some point after this, this particular civilian chose to abandon Cybertron altogether. Following the rebirth of Cybertron and the end of the Great War, the mech was among the thousands of Cybertronians who returned to their homeworld. This NAIL walked on the streets of Iacon in a large crowd of Autobots, Decepticons, and other NAILs. The Autonomy Lesson Soon thereafter, they were among the bystanders who witnessed Needlenose and Horri-Bull trying to beat up Zetca, and when Horri-Bull refused to desist, Bumblebee seemingly detonated Horri-Bull's inhibitor/deterrence chip. The Autonomy Lesson The World & Everything in It Some time later, they were standing with several other NAILs, seemingly arguing with a red-hued NAIL when the area suddenly started glowing. Unfortunately, the revived Cybertron was transmitting energy to revitalize populated areas, but without its first moon, that excess energy discharged in massive ground-level explosions, including one which killed all the NAILs present at that spot.

Notes

  • Josh Perez colored this NAIL to resemble the silver, black, and green 'Series 2' redeco of the Tonka GoBots character Cy-Kill, though Andrew Griffith hadn't deliberately drawn the NAIL to resemble the GoBots villain. The wiki's nickname comes from the 3 February 2016 Renegade Rhetoric story which used all the GoBots' alternate decoes to represent them when enslaved by evil aliens called Overseers, a story that in no way resembles any stories from the original Star Trek.
  • Amusingly, this NAIL dies not long after their debut, not unlike many versions of Cy-Kill in Transformers stories.
