| ~ Leonard Saber shocked, realizing that his appliances that he thought they'd communicate to homeowners, have been turned into mindless killing machines going on a rampage all over town and not knowing that Mr. Yanshu (Speckles, in truth) used him to help with his sinister agenda. |
Saberling Appliances are the secondary antagonists in the 2009 film, G-Force. They were household appliances made by Saberling Industries as part of Project Clusterstorm, which they were originally meant to communicate with one another. But in reality, they were programmed to eradicate humanity as part of Speckles' evil plan to get revenge on humans.
Biography[]
Not much is known about these appliances, but they were created by Saberling founder, Leonard Saber, a former arms dealer and businessman. As part of Project Clusterstorm, or Sabersense, they were intended to communicate with each other alongside their owners. Unbeknownst to Saber, Speckles, a member of the G-Force team and double agent, was secretly working for him and had put dangerous chips inside the appliances so they can eradicate humanity as part of his revenge scheme and pin the blame on Saber.
When G-Force went on an unauthorized mission to find data on the new chip, Darwin was able to retrieve info on the chip and escape unscathed. Although it was successful, the FBI decided to shut the program down since the data was just info on its coffee makers, thus having G-Force members escape and to be transported to a pet shop. However, unbeknownst to G-Force, Speckles sabotaged the presentation by rigging Darwin's PDA to coverup his evil scheme.
As Sabersense was about to be activated, Leonard Saber had a conversation with an anonymous Chinese businessman named Mr. Yanshu, who explained about how Sabersense will launch in 19 hours and that the old satellites, and various space debris will link their activation.
After Darwin and Hurley escaped from the pet shop, they find a Saberling Coffee Maker where Darwin tries to find what's inside it. Despite the appliances briefly attacking them by firing coffee beans and spinning blades at them, Darwin is able to find that a chip is inside it as he tries to remove it in order to bring the evidence back to Ben. Although it makes the machine more angrier, as it attacks both of them. It proceeded to attack Hurley by blasting him before Darwin is able to try and fight it before luring it down the streets where it is eventually destroyed by a car. He and Hurley proceeded to bring its remains back to Ben's house.
As Project Clusterstorm was activated by Saber, however, the machines, put either in department stores or have been bought household early, began attacking humanity as they began going on a rampage. This also prompts Kip Killian to lead an FBI task force to raid Leonard Saber's mansion to arrest him. Meanwhile, a microwave began taking Hurley as a hostage while he tried to receive a piece of cake inside it. However, Darwin, with the help from Blaster, was able to rescue Hurley and destroy the microwave by luring it into a bomb trap. During this time, Saber tried to fight off the robots, as he had no idea why Clusterstorm would do this before the FBI escorted him to the command truck. It would eventually turn out that Leonard Saber wasn't the mastermind and revealed that he wanted to use his electronic appliances to communicate so he can be the greatest manufacturer in the world. In fact, Speckles was in fact, the true mastermind when he revealed his true colors to Darwin, thus revealing himself as the anonymous Mr. Yanshu and that he had implanted thousands of chips inside Saberling appliances so they can destroy humanity, and also use the space debris to rain down on them as well. After revealing to Darwin that he was just using this to take revenge on humanity after his family were killed years ago by exterminators, he proceeded to combine all appliances into a giant mechanized robot to kill and drive off humanity. During the fight, he was able to attack several FBI agents, then use space debris to rain them down on all of them, either killing or injuring a few. Speckles also activated one of his robots to attack Darwin, thus losing his PDA in the process. As Speckles was about to destroy the FBI truck containing Killian, Ben, Marcie, and Saber inside, Darwin convinces Speckles to not take revenge and insists he becomes their family. As Speckles tried to shut down, having a change of heart, only to find out that he can't, Darwin was able to get the PDA, having been recovered by Mooch, inserting it to the mainframe and destroying the robot. Thus, deactivating all of the Saberling appliances and bringing the chaos to an end.
As G-Force is reinstated by the FBI, it is revealed that Leonard Saber was assigned to recall his consumer products to atone for his past mistakes, and having Speckles remove the chips inside thousands of appliances before rejoining the team. It can also imply that Leonard Saber would reform his company and have his appliances simply communicate with one another or abandoning the project and becoming a light-hearted person.
