Forged in the darkest reaches of the outskirts of Iacon, Barrasmash lead his team of mercenaries, in association with Double Dealer, to find ways of ending their own war, away from the one between the Autobots and Decepticons. His medical officer, Deathbed, was instructed to dissect any bots who dared to fail him.
Death used to take apart bots from any faction, and use them together to create a confused, angry mess of parts, much like Splitter. Later on, during the evacuation of Cybertron, Barrasmash and his team were forced out to Earth, the closest planet they could find, and starting taking refuge there.
Barrasmash kept his Cybertroian form, whilst Deathbed scanned a nearby transport truck to blend in. Soon after however, Deathbed would meet a human unlike any other: Melissa Ann Rosemary.
