Renegade Rhetoric

Thousands of years ago, the Master Renegade began work on a Gravity Collapsar Ray during the original war for Gobotron. Countdown to Annihilation Cy-Kill originally saw him as a noble figure who dared to rebel against the tyranny that the Guardians imposed. After repeated encounters with the man in the present day, Cy-Kill opined that he was no more than a senile shadow of the great hero he had once been. Renegade Rhetoric

The Master Renegade remained at large following his escapades on New Earth and eventually set up a new base in Bladez's mecha-mansion on Gobotron. He set up a new plan to try and force Cy-Kill's Renegades and the Guardians into a battle of mutual annihilation. When the Robo-Rebels infiltrated their new Command Center, he sent Creepy after them and took Tail Pipe prisoner. Fugitives With both Cy-Kill and Leader-1 unaware that they were stumbling into his trap, he had Bladez activate controls on the remaining Command Centers, which blasted the combatants into unconsciousness. Double Cross

After locking up both sides on Gobotron's Prison Moon, the Master Renegade and his lackeys broadcast their terms of surrender to the entire planet, and forced them to complete his old superweapon buried at the core of Gobotron. The only thing that stood between him and his plan of conquering the universe were the Robo-Rebels, and the Master Renegade mustered every force under his command in order to try and track them down, and the last freed Guardians managed to successfully spring the imprisoned Guardians and Renegades. The Master Renegade opted to test out his completed weapon on the Prison Moon itself, unaware that the GoBots had already Astro-Beamed away. Countdown to Annihilation The Robo-Rebels managed to break into the Master Renegade's base, evading his various Monster GoBots, and attempted to bring him to justice. When Cy-Kill and Leader-1 began a renewed power struggle over the fate of the Gravity Collapsar Ray, the Master Renegade and his forces took the opportunity to flee. Graduation Day

The Master Renegade later resurfaced with an offer of an alliance between himself and Cy-Kill: in exchange for naming him the leader of the Renegades, he would provide the Renegades with plans for an exact duplicate of the Guardians' Courageous combiner. Cy-Kill refused, only to have his own troops turn on him. Once aboard the Rogue Star, the Master Renegade and his Monster GoBots built their combiner; piloted by the turncoats who had betrayed Cy-Kill, they launched an attack on Gobotolis. Thanks in part to the sloppy construction of the suits and the Master Renegade's own ego, they were unable to control the combination and were bested by Courageous. The Master Renegade and his troops chose to retreat rather than deal with a recently-freed and very irate Cy-Kill. Coup de Grunge

On Beta Leonis, the Master Renegade struck up an alliance with Zero, and after travelling to Earth he developed a special algae capable of immobilizing any GoBot it touched. Once Gobotron was theirs, Zero betrayed him and the Master Renegade struck up a brief alliance with Leader-1 to free themselves from captivity before escaping. Trash and Treachery

The Master Renegade later returned to New Earth, where he stole the experimental polymorphic inducer from the Last Engineer. Using it, he transformed his old nemesis into a cybernetic parrot, then ambushed both the Guardians and Renegades and turned them into humans in spite of Cy-Kill's offer of an alliance. He took the human GoBots prisoner as part of his slave labor force. Thanks in part to the efforts of Nick and A.J., the human Guardians were able to incapacitate the Master Renegade and return to their old bodies. Although the Master Renegade tried to make a run for it one last time, he was caught by the Last Engineer, who had been restored to normal. The Last Engineer punched out the Master Renegade and finally imprisoned him for good on New Earth. Human Resources

Echoes and Fragments

In an unstable Iocus reality engineered by the machinations of Sideways and Gong, the Master Renegade replaced the Quintesson Judges during the events of the Unicron War. In this version of history, the Master Renegade officiated at twisted trials held in a fortress on Antares III, sentencing Cut-Up to death in the Dactyl pit. He then sentenced Kup and Hot Rod to death as well before the Dinobots and RoGuns arrived and rescued their friends. Echoes and Fragments
