Bio[]
Silencer is a recovering pacifist. He once lived the quiet traditional life of a hydroponic farmer, disavowing violence for any reason... until the Decepticons led by Scorponok destroyed his family's farm. His entire world and that way of life was destroyed along with it. Now one of the Autobots' best warriors, he is capable of transforming into a noiseless, recoil-less proton rifle.
Silencer and his fellow Nebulan Flintlock try to force their Autobot partner, the slovenly Landfill, to clean himself regularly, but they avoid him when he forgets and the stink becomes too much. This can leave them all vulnerable in the event of a surprise attack.
History[]
Arc 3[]
Silencer was among a group of Nebulans who, at great risk to themselves, joined the outlawed Autobots during Zarak and Scorponok's reign of terror on Nebulos. After undergoing the bio-engineering process that allowed them to transform into replacement weapons, they partnered with the nine Autobots who had surrendered their weapons some months earlier. Silencer and Flintlock partnered with Landfill. But their first mission turned out rather disastrously; despite the fact the Targetmaster upgrade had given their forces the firepower necessary to overwhelm the Decepticons, the conflicts between Autobots and Decepticons were simply too destructive. When Holepunch and his allies tried to defend The Nursery from a Decepticon incursion, the whole place was left in ruins.
Afterwards, the Autobots came to realize that the only way to spare Nebulos from further destruction was to quit the planet altogether. Following a distress signal, they left for planet Earth, with the Decepticons in close pursuit. |Brothers in Armor|
After the upgrade work on Fortress Maximus was completed as the Steelhaven traveled to Earth; the crew questioned Galen's intentions and almost power-hungry preparations for war. Their leader dismissed their concerns, noting that he was simply adjusting to their changing circumstances. The argument would soon become a moot point, as a battle soon broke out against the Decepticons, which wound up costing Galen his life. |Trial by Fire|
Silencer, Flintlock, Landfill, and the other Targetmasters accompanied Fortress Maximus in an assault on the Decepticons' island base. |The Desert Island of Space|
