Profile:
Saber or Subject 2 as he was known, was an experiment by Shockwave to create a second creature that was a warrior, yet loyal to the decepitcon's. With the success of Rexacon, on using a design from a different plant. While using the space bridge, Shocwave found a planet with an abundant amount of different life forms. Seeing one of the creatures on this planet, what looked like a robotic saber-toothed tiger, Shockwave captured it and brought it to his lab on Cybertron to be the base for his next creation.
Originally known as Drach, he was a close friend of Tarrlock, who became known as Rexacon, and was a support soldier in the Decepticon military. Wanting to do more, Drach talked with Tarrlock, and thought it over and signed up to bra test subject, a few cycles after Tarrlock did. Whereas Rexacon became the successor to Grimlock; Drach was to be the predecessor to Razorclaw, and with some modifications or upgrades, Saber could in theory beat Razorclaw. However, the process was met with a number of errors and failures.
During the process, the creature was taken apart, as was Drach. Than the new body was constructed. While the body was being built, Shockwave began to rebuild Drach's programming. With the various amounts of programming and redesign, Drach was changed into Saber. However, he had a few flaws that caused problems for Shocwave.
The personality of Drach that was altered, combined with that of the creature, created a feral animal more than a loyal warrior. Where Rexacon was a powerful warrior, Saber was extremely fast. But what was dangerous, was how animalistic he was towards Shockwave and the Decepticon's that got near him. Marking him as failure, Shockwave deactivated him and was going to have him taken apart to be used as spare parts.
As Saber was about to be scrapped, when an Autobot assault squad attacked and he was deactivated. During the fighting, Saber was able to break free and took out both some Decepticon's and Autobots. No one realized who or what Saber was as he escaped into the wilds of Cybertron.
Weapons:
- Energon 'Raging Ripper' Claws: The fore claws in his alternative mode are super sharp and can be charged with Energon to give him extra damage when he strikes with them. While in his robot mode, his fore claws are folded back onto his forearms, and can be folded out, covering his hands when he attacks with them if he wants.
- Midgard Energon Long Blade: On his back, is a large sword that is three-quarters as tall as him. This sword can be charge with Energon, just like his ripper claws for added damage. When not in use, it is held on his back in both his robot and alternative mode.
- Heat Rod: A segmented whip-like projected chain housed as a tail in his alternative mode, and on his lower back in robot mode. Deactivated, it can be used to trip or entangle an opponent. When activated, the material becomes super-heated, allowing it to cut and burn through armor.
- Crushing Maw: Saber's maw is able to open wide and used to bite/crush those that it has grabbed hold of. The crushing force is great, and can remove an appendage form a Cybertronian. However, it is usable better in his alt mode than his robot mode, due to its range being limited while in robot mode.
- High-Density Beam Gun: The high-density beam guns is located behind his jaws while in his alternative mode. The weapon is not that strong and is more of a short range weapon, and has full direction of fire as his head in his alternative mode. In robot mode, it is located directly int he middle of his chest and it can still be fired, but it is designed more as a short range weapon to intercept inbound weapons than to attack others, but it can do some damage if it does hit, just not much.
- Shoulder Daggers: Saber has two daggers, that are stored on his shoulders, one on each side. These Daggers are used when he has need ot using his shoulders while attacking. Moreover, he is able to pull these daggers and use them in his hands as weapons.
Special Abilities:
- Super Speed: With his alternative mode being a Saber-tooth Tiger, Saber is very fast in his alternative mode. This is due that he is designed for speed more than power and it probably one of the fastest ground runners. This helps him to get into and out of places quickly and makes him a perfect high speed scout. While in his robot mode, his speed decreases slightly, but not by much; because while he is in his alt mode, he is moving on four legs, rather than two.
- Tracking: Due to having a Saber-toothed Tigher alternative mode, he is able to track by both smell and tracks on the surface, just any wild cat.
Weaknesses:
- Feral/Animal Mentality: He has a very animal, almost feral mentality and at times acts more like an animal than an Autobot. This is due to the heavy modifications at the hands of Shockwave and the Decepticon scientist. However, he was never finished, so his feral side was never removed or hindered. Due to this, he will at times strike out before thinking, at both friend and foes alike. Usually, when he gets into this mindset, he will transform into his alternative mode of a Saber-tooth Tiger 90 percent of the time.
- Stubborn: Due to his feral side, he is a stubborn Autobot. He is set in his ways, or so he thinks, and it takes a lot of coaxing to calm down and to respond. This is more so needed when he is in his alternative mode and in a feral mindset.
- Problem with Authority: He has a problem with authority and tends to look at the leaders as being not that smart and weak. This was due to how he was never fully finished when he was found, and this did cause problems to his laser core/spark.
