History:
(Death's Head I#1 (fb) - BTS) - To most space faring races Scarvix was known as the sleaziest planet in the known galaxy, populated by robotic lowlifes from many different worlds.
(Incomplete Death's Head#1 (fb) - BTS) - The body of Death's Head was stolen from Lupex's magical domain and got dumped on Scarvix.
(Death's Head I#1 (fb) - BTS) - Death's Head, the Freelance Peacekeeping Agent, set up shop on Scarvix, figuring there would be plenty of work for him there.
(Death's Head I#1 (fb)) - Death's Head was hired by the citizens of Scarvix to take out the menace known as Backbreaker. He accepted the assignment and made sure Backbreaker's death was a very public affair, which increased the demand for his services considerably.
("High Noon Tex" (fb) - BTS) - Death's Head accepted a contract to kill Tex's brother, burn his farm, and massacre his livestock.
("High Noon Tex" (fb) - BTS) - Death's Head fulfilled his contract.
("High Noon Tex") - Tex, a robot cowboy, showed up on Death's Head's doorstep ready to avenge his brother who died at Death's Head's hands sometime earlier. Tex was killed when he mistook a dummy rigged with explosives for Death's Head and perished in the blast.
(Incomplete Death's Head#1 (fb) - BTS) - After a few months on Scarvix Death's Head was apprehended by the Doctor and transported through a warp gate to reality-120185 where a massive war was raging between the sentient robotic races the Decepticons and the Autobots.
