As they settled in, the Renegades built up a secret base called theErebosequipped with aModifierand databanks charting the activities of other GoBots in themultiverse.At some point, they welcomed in a second group of Gobotic refugees: theMonsterouscombiner team, and their handlerOdd Ball.Unhappy with the stagnant Cybertronian social order, the Renegades began their own plan to overthrow the dominant "Builders"and rule in their place.Cultural AppropriationDuring theGrand Uprising,Bladez andPinchertraded theG-VirustoGrimlockin exchange for everything the Resistance knew about theHuman Confederacy.Micro-Aggressions
Bladez and the Antares Eight learned of an ancient Terran artifact theRosetta Stone(renamed "The Stone of Sky Warp" ) held in theMuseum of Decepticon Heritage.They arranged to appropriate the stone, and use it to lure the Terrans to Cybertron. Faking as if they were aResistanceteam, the Antares Eight seized control of a trans-hyperwave caster inProximax.Holding the Builder in charge hostage, they beamed demands for all Builders to leave Proximax in the name of the Resistance. 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. The GoBots intended to usequantumite(a Gargent Cluster substance unknown to the Transformers) to weaponize the caster, snare the unsuspecting humans when they arrived, and take their greater technology.
Bladez and the Monster Gobots faced unexpected resistance, however, from a cross-factional group called theEx-Bots.They interfered with the seizing of the tower, and were only stopped whenCreepygot the drop on one of their members,Stiletto.In a second assault by the Cybertronians, Bladez fought on top of the tower againstSnapper.He severed the Predacon's arm and restrained him while Oddball arrived and added Monsterous to their assault. Bladez was mesmerized by the fight between Monsterous and the Builder combinerDevastator,so he didn't notice Snapper wirelessly reactivate his severed arm until it grabbed a gun and launched two explosive shells into his chest. The surprised Bladez was blown to pieces by the attack.Cultural Appropriation
Renegade Rhetoric
Bladez was theMaster Renegade's final creation, apparently constructed after the Master Renegade was reawakened in the modern era. He andCreepyserved as bodyguards and agents provocateur for their creator.Renegade Rhetoric (1), 2015/10/15
Bladez first emerged as a member of theGuardian CouncilonGobotron,working closely withZeemonandMajor Mowhile overseeing the training of new recruits at theGuardian Academy.Unfortunately, the latest band of cadets were so disruptive and contentious, they earned the nickname the "Robo Rebels".When the Renegades attacked the Robo Rebels' training exercise, Bladez raised serious questions on the Council about the Rebels. The previous Academy class'sDread Launcherswere Renegade double agents, so it was possible the Rebels were leaking information, too. At Bladez's insistence, the Rebels were confined to quarters until a full investigation was conducted.
The Robo Rebels broke confinement and visited the Council chambers. They learned only Bladez and Major Mo knew the location of the training exercise in advance, but were also implicated in the shooting of High Councilor Zeemon, who was found in the chambers near-death from blaster-fire, with the Rebels standing over him.Rebels Without a Circuit
Meanwhile, Bladez was established as head of the Guardian Council in Zeemon's absence, and prepared the fleet for a major offensive against the Renegades. In secret, Bladez and the Master Renegade contactedCy-Killfor an alliance. Bladez announced he planned to send half the Guardian fleet ofCommand CenterstoAlpha Centauri,where Cy-Kill and the Renegades could be waiting to eliminate them. Suspicious but eager for the victory, Cy-Kill accepted their terms. Bladez and the Master Renegade caught the Robo Rebels spying on them (having escaped custody to investigate Bladez further), but turned Creepy loose on the Guardian cadets before they could warn the fleet.Fugitives
In fact, Bladez had dispatched the entire Guardian fleet toAlpha Centauri,surprising Cy-Kill with twice the numbers he was expecting. The battle was long and arduous, with 90% of the combatants disabled by the end. The Guardians squeaked by with a narrow victory, but Bladez had installed a special circuit in the Command Center fleet before they launched. The Master Renegade took remote control of the vessels and blasted the remaining Guardians into submission.Double CrossBladez and the Master Renegade seized control of Gobotron in the absence of its protectors, recruiting the Monster GoBots to their side in lieu of Cy-Kill. The remaining Renegades and Guardians were housed on thePrison Moonof Gobotron. Only the Robo Rebels remained free and outside the Master Renegade's control.Countdown to Annihilation
But the Robo Rebels were enough. Using theAstro-Beam,they traveled to the Prison Moon and freedLeader-1and Cy-Kill, allowing them to reclaim their fleets and advance on the Master Renegade. The Rebels then infiltrated Bladez's mecha-mansion, where he and Creepy guarded the Master himself.Bent WingandRaizordrew the Monster GoBots away, allowingTail PipeandSuper Couperto disable the Master Renegade's doomsday weapon. Bladez and Creepy escaped, taking the Master Renegade with them.Graduation Day
Months later, Creepy and Bladez accompanied the Master Renegade to theRogue Staras he convinced four of Cy-Kill's Renegades to turn on their leader in exchange forPower Suit technology.The Monster GoBots were left behind to guard Cy-Kill andCop-Tur,only to be defeated whenFitor,Crasher,andChaosreturned. Bladez and Creepy escaped with their master.Coup de Grunge
During the incident onNew Earthwhich resulted in the Master Renegade's arrest, Bladez and Creepy were not present. Cy-Kill presumed them to be off on some other mission for their master.Human Resources
Cy-Kill had every intention of recruiting Bladez into the Renegades proper, a task perhaps made easy now that the Master Renegade was imprisoned. He was concerned that should he do so, however, there might be confusion with his trooperBlades.Renegade Rhetoric (1), 2015/10/16
