Noble is not a Maximal, nor Savage a Predacon or
Vehicon . He is in fact the amalgam of residual organic components of Megatron, who had his technological and organic sides separated as a side effect of coming into contact with the conflicting energies of the Key to Vector Sigma Program and thePlasma Energy Chamber . This backlash left Megatron's spark in a completely organic body with two beast forms but no robotic form, similar to the Beast Wars "Mutants". While one form was a gentle seeming, humanoid wolf-like, creature named Noble, the other was a feral seeming dragon-like entity (obviously the dominant genetic material left over from Megatron's previously acquired beast mode), called Savage.Savage first appeared in the second episode of season two, where he attacked
Vehicon generals Thrust and Jetstorm. TheVehicon s blamed the Maximals for this attack, but they all soon learned of Savage and attempted to find out what it was. After Savage disappeared they discovered Noble, a seemingly lone Maximal lost on Cybertron, who they thought was being hunted by Savage (interestingly enough, the story Noble told about his origin was identical to Nightscream's origin story). It was only in the end of the episode they learned the two beings were one - and they were unaware he harbored a dark secret; Savage/Noble was actually Megatron.While trapped inside Noble, Megatron manipulated the Maximals (and more specifically
Nightscream ) into helping him get back into the Council Citadel. There, he used several spark extractors to remove his spark, and entered his gigantic, head-like, floating fortress. This left Noble a sparkless but still living animal who still seemed to have a profound attachment to the sentimental young Nightscream, and would show up to save on a few occasions. This continued residual attachment reached its pinnacle upon Savage's attempt to destroy Megatron while the Vehicon leader was absorbing all of Cybertron's sparks, Megatron would soon kill him, but his sacrifice allowed Nightscream to stop Megatron, something for which he was honored by the Maximals.Toy
