Prior to the initial Decepticon uprising, Autobot Energon Location Specialist Geosensus witnesses a deathmatch between Grabber and Sting in a makeshift arena deep within Cybertron.

Grabber was the crowd favorite, vastly outclassing the much-smaller Sting, whom he had been systematically taken apart. However, a surprise blow to the head has driven Grabber perilously close to the slag pit in the middle of the Arena, and while pulling Sting towards his saw to finish him, Sting instead threw himself onto the saw, overbalancing them both into the slag pit.

Grabber was destroyed by a weaker opponent. Not a horrible death by Decepticon standards, at least it was in battle, but a thoroughly embarrassing one.
