Lost to the mists of time, Slaughter was purportedly an ancient Decepticon warrior. His tale was recounted by the sage Alpha Trion, who possesses a massive sword claimed to have been Slaughter's signature weapon. Much of his core programming was allegedly encoded onto the sword, giving it somewhat of a will of its own long after Slaughter's demise. As a result, the weapon is as close as a technological item can manage towards being cursed, requiring of its wielders a potent mental fortitude to avoid being overwhelmed by it and forced to pick up Slaughter's work where he left off.

Fiction

TransTech

Alpha Trion entrusted the "cursed sword" to Skyfall, who he claimed had the mental fortitude to withstand its subversive programming. Transcendent: Part 3 Ultimately, this turned out to be a ruse to gain the Autobot's trust, as Alpha Trion revealed himself to be the truly evil one and used that same sword to kill Skyfall by thrusting it through his spark.

Trivia

• Pete Sinclair stated that Slaughter was just a story Alpha Trion made up, and also that Alpha Trion's sword is nothing special.
• Don't even ask what Slaughter did with pop rocks and soda. It's too terrible to describe.
