Shadow Saber's Bio

Function: Battlefield curiosity. Quack attack!
Commander of the Astrobots
Alt Mode: A confused and angry Duck

The upgrades came at an unexpected cost to Shadow Saber. He marveled at his strength, his breath taking turn of speed, his shiny new armor, the sleek lines and smooth angles of his new body. Eagerly he transformed, shutting his optics, barely containing his excitement as he waited to see how his new Triple Changer forms felt and functioned.

As the last whirrs and clicks died away leaving him in what he believed to be his first alt form, Shadow Saber's excitement abated, just a little. Something didn't feel right. Firstly he could still feel two legs underneath him, supporting his frame. He brushed this thought aside as nonsense, he was probably one of those new experimental walker tanks. He instead focused his processor on his 'Turret'. Whilst at first he was content he soon began to worry again when he was unable to rotate a full 360 degrees he barely made it past 90.

Concerned now that this new alt form had some serious kinks to work out, Shadow Saber opened his optics. He seemed very close to the ground. All around him the other upgraded Autobots were staring down a him clearly trying to hide their amusement. Shadow Saber was taken aback. He decided to silence their grins with a show of his new firepower. He opened his up main cannon and prepared to fire.

A mighty blast did burst forth, but it wasn't the energy blast Shadow Saber expected. It was a sonic blast, unexpected, oddly pitched and curiously 'organic' sounding, it didn't seem to achieve much apart from making the other Autobots collapse about in fits of laughter. Panicking, Shadow Saber raced to the nearest reflective surface he could find and stared, horrified at what he saw.

Sweet Primus..... Take me now.

(And that, children, is the story of how this once mighty space warrior became a duck.)



Actual Role:

Function: Superiority Fighter, Astrobot Team leader
Upper torso and head of Astro Lord

A famed explorer and xeno-archaeologist before the war (for the Cybertronian equivalent of 'time team'), Shadow Saber was known for his travels across the galaxy, from examining the ruins of long dead civilisations, to exploring the uncharted majesty of newly discovered planets and systemsbroadcasting programmes back to Cybertron with the aid of his trusted film crew. Shadow Saber's tendancy to rush headlong into the unknown and deal with any problems 'on the fly' was balanced by the presence of his best friend and colleague Hyper Space, who served as co-presenter and lead scientist on their journeys. Hyper Space's legendary sighs as he sought to extricate Shadow Saber from his latest predicament became a favourite staple of fans.

During the Great War, whilst Shadow Saber's piloting and combat skills were certainly impressive, honed over years of scraps with an eclectic array of viscous alien monsters intent on sampling a 'taste of Cybertron', he was not sent to the front lines. Instead the Autobot high command, made use of his skills as an explorer in a failsafe plan, which would see Shadow Saber search for suitable worlds for Autobot's to colonise should the war drive them from Cybertron, and should worst come to the worst, be responsible for leading survivors of any genocide attempt by the Decepticons himself from Cybertron to safety amongst the stars.

It was for these secret missions that Shadow Saber was upgraded with many of the latest developments from the Autobot R&D labs, including his reconfiguration into a lead Gestalt component. Naturally as they were unsure what dangers and colony would face, the Autobot high command spared as many resources as possible to give their failsafe plan the best possible opportunity to succeed.
