Renegade Victory Part 2 Pincher attacked a UNECOM base on Mercury with Twin Spin and Blades, but they were driven off by the seemingly reformed Doctor Braxis. Major Mo and a squad of rebels made it past their blockade to undo the damage Cy-Kill did to the timeline. Graduation Day In an alternate reality where Renegades ruled, Pincher was one of the guardians of the Time Portal that allowed Cy-Kill to achieve his victory. Renegade Rhetoric (1), 6 Pincher temporarily defected to the Master Renegade with the other Monster GoBots, but quickly returned to Cy-Kill once his new leader dropped the ball. Cultural Appropriation Renegade RhetoricĬy-Kill worried that Vamp and Scorp were a bad influence on Pincher and was leery of creating a Monster GoBot block within his force. Stiletto spun around and finished him off, sending Pincher crashing into the ground in an explosive mess. Her partner Snapper fired off in tank mode, throwing Pincher into a spin. In a second assault by the Cybertronians, Pincher was dogfighting with the DeathEagle Stiletto when she lured him near the tower. They interfered with the seizing of the tower, and were only stopped when Creepy got the drop on one of their members, Stiletto.

Pincher and the Monster Gobots faced unexpected resistance from a multi-factional group called the Ex-Bots. The GoBots intended to use quantumite (a Gargent cluster substance unknown to the Transformers) to weaponize the caster, snare the unsuspecting humans when they arrived, and take their superior technology for themselves. In fact, the transmission was a trap to entice the humans, who monitored all Cybertronian transmissions, with a clear view of the Rosetta Stone in the background. Holding the Builder in charge hostage, they beamed demands for all Builders to leave Proximax in the name of the Resistance. Faking as if they were a Resistance team, the Antares Eight seized control of a trans-hyperwave caster in Proximax.

They arranged to appropriate the stone, and use it to lure the Terrans to Cybertron. The Monster GoBots gathered more information about post-singularity humanity by hacking the Grand Mal, Cultural Appropriation, and, guided by the machinations of the incorporeal Lord Imperious Delirious, Derailment learned of an ancient Terran artifact called the Rosetta Stone (renamed "The Stone of Sky Warp") held in the Museum of Decepticon Heritage. Cultural Appropriation During the Grand Uprising, Bladez and Pincher traded the G-Virus to Grimlock in exchange for everything the Resistance knew about the Human Confederacy. Unhappy with the stagnant Cybertronian social order, the Renegades began their own plan to overthrow the dominant " Builders" and rule in their place. At some point, they welcomed in a second group of Gobotic refugees: the Monsterous combiner team, and their handler Odd Ball. Ask Vector Prime, 4Īs they settled in, the Renegades built up a secret base called the Erebos equipped with a Modifier and databanks charting the activities of other GoBots in the multiverse. Several GoBots from Gargent 984.08 Alpha escaped the Cataclysm by travelling to Primax 215.19 Epsilon and integrating themselves in with the local Predacons.
