Kubikiri

Kubikiri is a human from the live-action film continuity family.

Kubikiri is the leader of the Tanto Gang and likes to quote great conquerors. He's not very careful about who he works with, but if there's one thing he can't abide, it's when someone turns on him.

Fiction

Titan Magazines Dark of the Moon prequel strips

After being contacted by a "Mr Wave", Kubikiri led his gang to Central Columbia, where they set up a Zipa Warhead at the bottom of a lake. After Kibikiri detonated it, El Dorado was revealed. He contacted Mr Wave with the good news, whereupon the huge crate they'd brought along with them smashed open to reveal Soundwave. Kibikiri recognized him as one of the Decepticons and wondered what he could possibly want with the gold. After Soundwave opened fire on the Tanto Gang, Kibikiri ordered the armory opened so they could fight back, however at that point Optimus Prime and Ratchet arrived. As the battling Optimus and Soundwave fell into the lake, Kubikiri ordered the second Zipa Warhead detonated because "no one double-crosses the Tanto Gang." In the confusion resulting from the explosion, Kubikiri and his gang fled. Transformers Comic issue 3.2

Notes

• A kubikiri is a type of Japanese tanto or dagger. It's therefore likely that Kubikiri is a codename.
