Tesarus is a Decepticon from the IDW continuity portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Will it Blend? (Tesarus is the big one)

Tesarus is a member of the Decepticon Justice Division, Megatron's pet enforcers. Easily bored, this massive Decepticon is built for torture. His gigantic size - as well as the pair of waldos that deploy over his shoulders - allow him to easily seize a smaller bot, at which point the cruel grinding blades housed in his chest cavity engage. Victims are lowered into this gnashing pit, but rarely fully dropped into it. Often, they wish they were.

He is sometimes known as Tess.

When the Decepticon Black Shadow was caught for getting bribed to destroy a fleet of War Worlds, Tesarus crushed his legs off and left him to get talked to death by Tarn after the other members got a turn at torturing Black Shadow. Afterwards, Tesarus and the other members were then ordered by Tarn to move on to their next target. Rules of Disengagement

That target was the cowardly K-Squad Decepticon Fulcrum who had failed to detonate himself as part of a bombing raid on the planet Clemency. Apparently being sheltered by the Scavengers aboard a P-6 Worldsweeper symbol ship, the D.J.D. gave them fifteen minutes to surrender him, but the ragtag Decepticon crew doublecrossed them and instead handed over a stasis pod containing Grimlock hopped up on circuit speeders. During the ensuing battle Tesarus killed Flywheels before he and Helex were blasted to the ground by Crankcase in a Cybernought. Following Fulcrum's apparent suicide Kaon reported that he had discovered their next target's location, so the D.J.D. left the surviving Scavengers with a warning that they were all now on The List and took off in the Peaceful Tyranny to bring Overlord to justice. Who's Afraid of the DJD?

Arriving at Overlord's location, the Lost Light (in reality, one of two created by a malfunction of the ship's quantum engines), near the planet Ofsted XVII, the D.J.D. set about murdering the ship's crew of Autobots. Tesarus personally killed Perceptor (among others) before they reached the still-restrained Overlord; Tarn chopped his head off with a chainsaw while Tesarus smirked, and the D.J.D. left the ship. slaughterhouse

Tesarus and the rest of the DJD hunted down Blackshadow to the planet Clemency. Finding their target holed up with Decepticon scavengers, the DJD destroyed the lot of them before moving on to their next assignment. Rules of Disengagement

Notes

• James Roberts has stated that Tesarus is able to cut through the ununtrium-treated skeletons of Phase Sixers thanks to ununtrium-coated blades; a similar case to diamonds possessing the property of being able to cut through other diamonds.
