Scourge (G1)
Scourge is a Unicron created Decepticon in Generation 1 continuity.
Scourge is Galvatron's implacable tracker and leader of his own wolf-pack of huntsmen, the deadly Sweeps. He was created by Unicron from the remains of a dead Decepticon. Though quite powerful in his own right, Scourge generally acts as a near subordinate to Cyclonus, and despite his leadership of the Sweeps is generally content to take orders from others. Scourge tends to grumble and complain a bit (a habit sometimes shared by his Sweeps.) Immensly powerful like all the unicronian Decepticons, arrogance is his only true weakness.
