"Before Armada Megatron was, I was."

Macabre is the ugliest Decepticon ever. However, he's only the second ugliest Transformer ever, after Emirate Xaaron. That's why Maccy wanted to kill Xaaron so badly. We pick on Macabre because we used to work with the guy back when Shrapnel was Straxus' second-in-command and we were part of the Ten Deadliest Killers. Macabre was number ten.

Anyway, Maccy was great fun, at least by Insecticon standards. We spent many happy hours teasing and baiting him to made him yell. We also named his gun the Overcompensator. If he called it anything else, he never told us. Apparently he turned into some kind of glider-thing, but we haven't got that letters page and we never saw him do it. He was too busy shouting, talking about how great he was, and complaining that Xaaron was uglier than him to bother transforming, I guess.

But wait! There's a theory floating around that Macabre looked so riduculous because he was a Pretender! He might have survived that blast! In fact, we think he did. Look:

Same colours, same horns, same dumb attitude, just smaller. And what happens to him?

Yep.

( Wayward has, in the years since, revised her theories on Macabre. We haven't! Ha ha, Maccy you loser!)
