Cyberverse (toyline)

2011-10-02T13:11:24Z

124.106.132.20: /* Legion Class */

'''Cyberverse''' is a rebranding of the smaller size classes of Transformers toys so that the smallest Legion (previously [[Legends Class]]) and Commander (similar to [[Size class|Scout]] class) toys are in something close to relative scale with each other. Cyberverse figures are designed to interact with various transforming battle vehicles and playsets, creating a unified "world" children (or [[fandom| childish adults]]) can collect. While most are brand new molds, some figures are [[retool]]s/[[redeco]]es of legends releases, but the vast majority are tooled to accommodate 3mm weapon pegs and/or [[C joint]]s.

The Cyberverse line debuted with ''[[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' and will continue for ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)| Prime]]''.

The working name for this line was "Megaverse" (with the [[MechTech]] line originally having been "Cybertech"), which could be seen on receipts for toys purchased at retailers, in the name of some exclusives on retailer web sites, and on the shipping cases for the products themselves. The reason for the change is unknown.

{{picsneeded|various stuff}}
{{suite}}

'''[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]''' is the star of a [[Live-action film series|multi-billion-dollar film franchise]], and as such has a horrendous amount of toys and memorabilia!

Seriously, he's probably got more than [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] by now.

==Transformers (2007)==
===Legends Class toys===
[[Image:Bumblebeemovielegends.jpg|right|300px|thumb|It's not a fiesta with racing stripes... it's a fiesta OF racing stripes!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Bumblebee'''

: Legends Bumblebee transforms into a yellow 1976 Chevrolet Camaro. Being a highly simplified toy of a highly complex design, Legends-class Bumblebee does not replicate the appearance of the robot mode very well, and has very limited articulation, detail and paint application. On the other hand, he's pocket-sized and inexpensive, perfect for the younger set. The toy has a sculpted rear window, but it's not painted like the other windows. instead, the racing stripes extend over them.

{{-}}
*'''Optimus Prime bonus pack''' ([[Costco]] exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

:A Costco exclusive special pack of Leader Class Optimus Prime with Legends Class Bumblebee and [[Jazz (Movie)|Autobot Jazz]] as bonus figures. None of the three toys is changed from their respective original releases.

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Allspark Legends pack.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The classic G1 cast...plus Barricade.]]
*'''Battle for the Allspark''' (Toys'R'Us exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

: A Toys'R'Us exclusive, this six-pack of Legends class figures contains unmodified toys of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], Bumblebee, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

{{-}}
*'''Bumblebee Scanning Version''' (''Hyper Hobby'' magazine exclusive EZ Collection variant, 2007)

: A Japanese-exclusive version of the Legends Bumblebee toy, Bumblebee Scanning Version (バンブルビー　スキャニング Ver.) uses transparent plastics for his yellow parts. He was available as a mail-order item from ''Hyper Hobby'' magazine in September of 2007. The toy itself is almost entirely unpainted, save for some metallic blue for his eyes, and silver for his face and for the tampographed Autobot symbol on his chest.

{{-}}
[[Image:Melltallic Bumblebee.jpg|right|300px|thumb|You know you know you want me]]
*'''Bumblebee Metallic Version''' (Tsutaya Records exclusive EZ collection variant, 2007)

: Bumblebee Metallic Version (バンブルビーメタリック Ver.) was a Japanese-exclusive metallic repaint of Legends class Bumblebee included with purchase of the 2007 Movie DVD at Tsutaya Records stores.

[[Image:Movie Legends Bumblebee Scorponok toys.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Bee stings.]]
*'''Bumblebee vs. Scorponok''' (Legends Allspark Battles two-pack, 2008)

: As part of the ''AllSpark Battles'' Legends two-packs, a slightly redecoed Legends class Bumblebee, now sporting "battle damage" paint applications, comes with an all-new Legends [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] figure.

{{-}}

===Deluxe Class toys===
[[Image:Bumblebeemovietoydeluxe67.jpg|right|300px|thumb|These used cars are fully loaded!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Classic Camaro, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: The first Deluxe Class version of Movie Bumblebee transforms into a yellow [[wikipedia:Second-generation_Chevrolet_Camaro|1976 Chevrolet Camaro]] with a quite reasonable level of sculpted detail. In contrast to the other Deluxe-class car Transformers in the Movie toyline, he does not have clear windows, instead opting for opaque yellow plastic with painted metallic blue.

: Bumblebee is armed with two shoulder-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers (inspired by the shoulder-mounted missile launchers he uses to fight Brawl/Devastator in the movie), which also double as hand-held weapons or can be mounted on ports on the undersides of his elbows. His legs and chest [[Automorph]] during transformation.

: The initial release of the toy featured even tabs for the Automorph gimmick; oddly, Hasbro later decided to [[retool]] the feature so the tab would be uneven.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29613 Original Allspark thread about the retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref> This resulted in many reported cases of the tab snapping during transformation. Press the button or you'll break him. Seriously. The retooled Automorph gimmick would be used for all subsequent versions of the mold, including the Japanese ones, and the breakage problem wouldn't be fixed until the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack and the Target exclusive "Evolution of a Hero" two-pack.

[[Image:Movie Deluxe 1974 Bumblebee JPtoy.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Never seen so much translucent plastic in all my life.]]
: Packaging photos and early [[Prototype|test shots]] of Hasbro's Bumblebee featured transparent blue plastic windows and missile parts. However, the final Hasbro production toy has opaque yellow plastic. The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of Bumblebee retains the transparent blue plastic parts, with yellow paint for the outer car shell. As a consequence, the missiles, which are on the same sprue, are also made of clear blue plastic, just like the early prototype seen in the Hasbro stock photos for the toy. He also uses the retooled version of the mold with the fixed [[Automorph]] gimmick.

The packaging used for the Japanese toy is the same as for the Hasbro version, with the exception of additional stickers identifying it as a Japanese market release.

[[Image:Bumblebee Barricade deluxeboxset.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"Go ahead, make my day!"]]
*'''Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter''' (Deluxe two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: This battle pack contains the 1976 Camaro deluxe-class Bumblebee and the deluxe-class [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]/[[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] figures, based upon their confrontation as seen in the movie. The box features a diorama-style background from a movie scene, but the toys themselves are unchanged from their original carded releases.

: The set originally retailed for only slightly less than buying the two individual toys. However, for a short while, it was about the only way to ''get'' Bumblebee in the first place, thanks to the [[Movie (toyline)|toy drought]] following the movie's record-smashing opening.

{{-}}
*'''Bumblebee Limited Metallic Color Version''' (Lawson exclusive Deluxe-sized Classic Camaro, TakaraTomy 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: A redeco of the Japanese version of the Classic Camaro Bumblebee mold, Bumblebee Limited Metallic Color Version (バンブルビー限定メタリックカラー Ver., ''Bumblebee Gentei Metallic Color Ver.'') was exclusively available with the purchase of a ticket for the movie in Japanese Lawson stores. It retained the clear blue windows and missiles of the standard Japanese release.

[[Image:Movie TowedtoSafety toys.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Sadly, All Spark Insurance doesn't cover towing charges.]]
*'''Towed to Safety''' (Deluxe two-pack, UK 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: This set features an unaltered Deluxe class [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] figure and a Deluxe class 1976 Camaro Bumblebee figure. The window box features a diorama background of the battle in [[Mission City]] (basically the same packaging inner tray from the "Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter" pack). As is generally the case with the European releases of the Movie toys, the pictures on the front of the box show the robot-mode toys instead of an artist's depiction of their faces.

: For this two-pack, Hasbro slightly retooled Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick again, adding another small tab that finally resolved the breakage issues that had plagued the previous variation of the mold.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38149 Allspark thread about the second retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref>

:Thus far, this pack has only been released in the United Kingdom.

{{anchor|TF2007ConceptCarmaro}}
[[Image:Movie Deluxe 2009 Bumblebee toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Nu-uh! You don't want none of this!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-10'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: The second Deluxe class Bumblebee toy, which shares no parts with the previous one (even the head, despite being based on the same general design, is a different sculpt), transforms into the [[wikipedia:Fifth-generation_Chevrolet_Camaro|concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro]]. Maintaining the high standard for car accuracy in the movie line, Bumblebee is very faithful to the real-life vehicle, featuring clear blue windows in contrast to the opaque windows seen in both his previous Deluxe class toy and the Ultimate Bumblebee toy.

: Bumblebee features two [[Automorph|Automorphing]] gimmicks during transformation: ''(a)'' swinging his hood down into robot mode position also moves his arms up and ''(b)'', swinging his feet down will move the rear fenders up and behind his calves, as well as swinging the rear windows to his inner calves in a spring-loaded action. Unusually, this version of Bumblebee is much more accurate to the CGI design than either the older-model Deluxe OR the Ultimate figure, with the chest properly articulating in a fairly Movie-accurate manner. He's also slightly taller than most of the other Deluxe Class figures.

: Bumblebee features a superb range of articulation, with ball joints in his shoulders, neck, torso, wrists and upper legs, with ratcheting and swivels making up the remaining joints. Instead of the rather inaccurate missile launchers from the 1976 Camaro toy, '09 Bumblebee comes with a mostly accurate version of his plasma cannon as it appears in the movie, but for added play value, it can Automorph into an energy blade by opening up the halves of the gun barrel and swinging them back. The cannon can be held in either of his hands.

: Care should be taken when removing the cannon from Bumblebee's hands, as excessive force can damage the wrist ball joint socket.

: Contrary to popular opinion, the yellow pieces on the back of Bumblebee's feet are ''not'' supposed to be heel spurs, nor have they been mis-assembled. They are supposed to fold up to emulate the detail found on the CGI design.

: A running change version of this mold adds tabs to the hip panels, which makes the vehicle mode hold together better, as well as sculpted pupils inside Bumblebee's eyes.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=144325 TFW2005 thread about the retool for the second Deluxe Bumblebee toy]</ref> Initially this was believed to be a variant for the Japanese market; however, later shipments of the Hasbro toy featured those changes as well, as did all subsequent versions of the mold.

: This mold was also used to make "Allspark Power" [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]].

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Bumblebee Evolutionofahero.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Hey, look, Concept Camaro, now ''you're'' the piece o' crap.]]
*'''Evolution of a Hero''' (Target exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles, Plasma cannon

: A Target exclusive, this figure multi-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe-class 1976 Bumblebee and an exclusive "battle damaged" 2009 Camaro Concept Bumblebee. Even though the 2009 figure is supposed to represent Bumblebee's damaged state as he appeared during the final battle in the movie, oddly enough the "damage" paint decos do not appear to extend to his legs, restricting themselves to his upper torso and car roof/door parts. Maybe they didn't bother because they thought you'd take them off like in the movie. Go figure.

:The Classic Camaro Bumblebee toy included in this package features the same "fixed" Automorph gimmick also found on the version included in the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack. In addition, the Automorph button on the hood ''finally'' sports the painted pinstripes that had been missing on ''all'' previous releases of the mold.

{{-}}
*'''Bumblebee and Optimus Prime''' (Argos exclusive two-pack, UK 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: A two-pack, exclusively available at Argos stores in the United Kingdom, which contains an unchanged Voyager-class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and an equally unchanged Deluxe-class Concept Camaro Bumblebee.

{{anchor|CaptureofBumblebee}}
[[Image:Movie ScreenBattles CaptureofBB.jpg|right|300px|thumb|You'll never take me alive!]]
*'''Capture of Bumblebee''' (Screen Battles diorama pack, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-04'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack comes a [[Redeco|redecoed]] Camaro Concept Deluxe-class Bumblebee featuring a more accurate gray color scheme for his robot mode parts and a silver-painted face, Autobot symbol and toes. Additionally, a new red Autobot symbol is placed on his forehead, while his translucent parts are now a greener blue. The pack also comes with non-posable figurines of [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]] and two Sector Seven soldiers; one carrying a cryo-freezing cannon and one carrying a grenade launcher.

: This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the scene in which Bumblebee is captured by Sector Seven forces.

:According to details listed in an official checklist on Hasbro's website{{fact}}, this pack was originally supposed to feature "ice soldiers" (plural), in addition to an "S7 agent" and an "S7 soldier". Apparently budget ultimately only allowed for one. The grenade launcher-wielding S7 soldier also looks conspicuously like [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] colored as a Sector Seven soldier (it's possible that the figure had originally been intended for the Screen Battles "Desert Attack" pack with [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]).

*'''All Spark-Enhanced Bumblebee''' (Target Exclusive Deluxe, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: This Target exclusive features the Deluxe Class Bumblebee in unique cylindrical packaging, with the only difference from his standard release being that key robot mode parts are highlighted by the slavish 'All Spark Blue' color for no other reason than [[to sell toys]].

[[Image:Movie Deluxe StealthBumblebee toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Bumblebee, as he appears in [[Shattered Glass (franchise)|Bizarro World]].]]
*'''Stealth Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Concept Camaro, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: Stealth Bumblebee is an extensive redeco and minor retool of the Deluxe class 2009 Camaro Bumblebee toy. The redeco itself is unusual in that the yellow parts are still cast in yellow plastic, but painted black. Other color differences include changing the robot mode body parts from black to gray and adding bright blue ''AllSpark Power'' decos.

:The head has also been retooled to reflect Bumblebee's 'battle mask' as seen in the Movie. The "mask" does not flip up to reveal his head. Bummer.

:Downloadable content for the [[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|Xbox 360/PS3 version of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' game]] features this deco as an alternate skin for Bumblebee.

*'''Bumblebee''' ("Premium Series" Deluxe Class Concept Camaro, 2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-22'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

:This [[redeco]] of the Deluxe-class Concept Camaro toy features a similar deco as the Screen Battles version in terms of plastic colours, but replaces the head sculpt with the "battle mask" sculpt previously used for Stealth Bumblebee. All of his outer car body panels have been coated in a metallic yellow paint job.

*'''The Legacy of Bumblebee''' (Deluxe class multi-pack, 2008)

:A Walmart [[exclusive]] three pack, ''The Legacy of Bumblebee'' collector's set comes with [[Bumblebee (G1)|''Classics'']], Movie Deluxe Concept Camaro ([[Premium Series]]) and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] figures. While the ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' Bumblebees are identical to their original, single carded releases, the ''Classics'' Bumblebee has been redecoed to more closely resemble his ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' counterparts, changing his white stripes to black, and his grey/silver plastic to yellow, similarly to ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Bumble.

===Screen Battles===
[[Image:Movie ScreenBattles FinalStand1.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"Half a bee, philosophically/ Must, ipso facto, half not be./ But half the bee has got to be/ Vis-a-vis, its entity. D'you see?"]]
*'''Final Stand''' (Screen Battles, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-02'''

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack comes with an altered [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] toy and a posable, non-transforming, battle-damaged Bumblebee figure very similar to the ''Robot Replicas'' toy, yet surprisingly utilizing none of the same parts despite being on an identical scale. This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the battle in Mission City.

:Although entirely composed of original sculpting, such as the gimpy leg-stumps, the Bumblebee figure oddly does not feature the character's distinctive car door "wings" on his back. However, keen [[customizing|customisers]] can easily rectify this by slicing the "Robot Replicas" version's wings off and whittling their connecting plastic into simple posts that very handily plug into large holes in the tires on Final Stand 'Bee's back. In fact, these holes almost seem designed to accommodate a missing part. (Considering how all the other Screen Battles sets were apparently originally intended to feature more, or at least more elaborate, accessory figures based on their entries in an official checklist on Hasbro's website{{fact}}, this seems indeed very plausible.)

{{-}}
===Ultimate===
[[Image:Ultimate Bumblebee toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|All those extras and they couldn't make me more accurate than the deluxe class toy.]]
*'''Ultimate Bumblebee''' (Ultimate, 2007)
**''Accessories:''

: Similar in appearance to the second Deluxe-class Bumblebee toy, albeit much larger and more complex, the 'Ultimate' version of Bumblebee also transforms into the 2009 concept Camaro. The toy features animatronic movement in robot mode (flapping wings, moving arms and a rotating head) and light-up eyes and headlights, activated by the movement or sounds made by the person playing with the toy, or by pressing his buttons, which also activate an obscene number of interactive electronic sound effects. Oddly enough, despite being mute for most of the movie, Bumblebee has a wide range of phrases (Which don't even sound like him). His chest button yields various phrases and a new version of the ''Transformers'' theme tune, while a button on his side produces blaster noises, more speech, and musical samples, including four different ones from Devo's "Whip It." This button also causes the toy to raise its cannon-arm and automatically fire a missile. Playing with the toy by moving it will make him repeat various phrases and samples activated by other features, as well as crashing battle noises, but when he is left idle, more unique phrases will be uttered inquiring where everyone has gone, as well as radio snippets to the same effect, before the toy eventually deactivates. Pressing any button will bring him back online with a cheerful shout.

: Transforming the toy between modes is accompanied by the classic transformation noise, and if left unattended between modes, it will make stalling engine noises, car horn and a car alarm sounds. Once in car mode, new electronics are unlocked, beginning with the sound of an engine starting up. The chest button now activates the car's horn, and rolling the figure along will create an accelerating noise that increases the faster the toy is moved. More unique musical snippets will play as the car rolls along; when the rolling stops, brake lights activate and the tires screech. Yet more sounds are produced when Bumblebee is rolled backwards, and the car mode also features different crashing battle noises to the robot mode.

: All of the toy's features can be turned off by a switch, and it has an additional "Try Me" mode which allows you to hear various sounds from the toy's various functions just by pressing the chest button.

: The toy is mistransformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure made the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block resting on Bumblebee's chest. In reality, it splits up into five separate pieces to fold and collapse into a more movie-like appearance.

: In the holiday season, Wal-Mart carried an exclusive "Bonus Buy" version of the toy, which had the Deluxe [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] toys added as freebies. Costco also carried an exclusive version, with the 3" [[Titanium Series]] version of Bumblebee packed in. However, it did not include the display stand.

:[[Fast Action Battler|Fast Action Battlers]] Bumblebee transforms from concept Camaro to robot with a considerably simpler transformation than the standard deluxe toy, intended for the slightly younger set. His main "gimmick" is a spring-loaded missile launcher in his right arm. As is also the case with Ultimate Bumblebee, the toy is mistransformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure make the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block. In reality, the chest/bumper consists of two rotating pieces which can pivot down so as to more accurately emulate the appearance in the movie.

:A [[repaint]] of Plasma Punch Bumblebee. It transforms from concept Camaro to robot with a simple transformation. The right arm is a spring loaded missile launcher. As is also the case with the original [[Fast Action Battlers]] Bumblebee, the hood is presented as a solid brick.

===Cyber Slammers===

*'''Bumblebee''' (Classic Camaro Cyber Slammer, 2007)

: Cyber Slammers Bumblebee is an amazingly cute 1976 Camaro that transforms into an amazingly cute Autobot buddy of human characters. "Slam" his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along for a while, then snaps back up into robot mode.

: This toy was also made available during the 2007 holiday season as a freebie "Bonus Buy" packaged with Cyber Stompin' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] at Wal-Mart stores.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Concept Camaro Cyber Slammer, 2007)

:The second [[Cyber Slammers]] Bumblebee figure toy transforms into a Concept Camaro and shares no parts with the previous Cyber Slammers Bumblebee figure. Like all Cyber Slammers, the toy features motorized action. When you push down on the car, it zooms forward, then pops up into robot mode! Sure to please the toddler you brought with you to the PG-13 movie. Like most Cyber Slammers, Bumblebee manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

: This toy was later redecoed into [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]].

===Trans-Scanning===
[[Image:Movie TranScanning Bumblebee toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|whY mY SHoUlDeRs hUrT?(Now I know how Hot Shot feels)]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[Trans-scan|Trans-scanning]] Bumblebee is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a "Core Body". To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Bumblebee: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of golden plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This golden-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Bumblebee's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of nineteen armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a Camaro Concept.

: Bumblebee also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]] figure.

: [[Cyber Stompin' Robots]] Bee is a large electronic action figure, featuring a rather cutified design. He's got electronic lights and sounds up the whazzoo and fires missiles and a fist. He totally plays the original theme song.

: Later in the year, Wal-Mart stores sold this toy as a "Bonus Buy" item, which came with a free Cyber Slammer [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] attached to the box back.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Robot Replicas, 2007)

: As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] sub-line, this version of concept-Camaro Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure that hews very close to the movie's CGI model. It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, plus his right forearm can be replaced with his blaster-arm (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins). For some reason, he's closer to orange than his normal yellow.

The three-function infrared remote, in Bumblebee's signature colors, gives you control of the car with forward and reverse turn movement. More than just a car styled after the Movie character, the car also transforms to robot mode. The top of the gun-shaped IR remote's barrel serves as a display stand. The tip of the gun barrel can also be unscrewed, revealing a pen (!) inside.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Pulse Missile

:Released as part of the preview series of figures for [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen's toyline]] alongside [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], Bumblebee is a retool of the Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold, feature a new vehicle front end, hood and wheels to reflect the changes to the prop vehicle used in the movie; and in robot mode has a new, more accurate headsculpt. His right arm has been retooled to accommodate a built-in spring-loaded plasma cannon, replacing the converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version of this mold. Don't look at his eyes for too long, you'll have nightmares.

:Strangely, the missile for his right arm is slightly too long for the slot in the arm itself, so it either has to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon must be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. (This has been fixed in later releases, such as the European market). Also, instead of having movie accurate gray colored "toe" sections on his feet like the later 2007 figures, his toes are ''painted'' yellow ...on top of yellow plastic. Oookay...

[[Image:ROTFtoy-CannonBumblebee.jpg|right|thumb|300px|New from the ass up!]]
*'''Cannon Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-14'''

:This extensive retool of Bumblebee changes the entire upper half of the robot mode, and thus half of the car, to newly designed parts, including more articulated arms with open palms, less obstructive vehicle [[kibble]], a differently transforming chest, and two flip-out (non-firing) missile launcher racks behind his head. Only the legs remain unaltered from the original version of the mold. Interestingly, his arms can be detached and easily popped onto the original mold, resulting in a more [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] robot mode, though this sacrifices transformation. This extensive retooling results in a car interior with seats and a crude dashboard, but the windows are so opaque that these new details can't easily be seen. A variant with clear blue windows was released in later shipments.

:His "heels" are assembled backwards, which keeps them from being folded up against the back of the shins. Disappointingly, his chest cannot deform like the previous releases of this mold (or his Fast Action Battler, which still has a deforming chest).

===Human Alliance===

*'''Bumblebee''' / '''Sam Witwicky''' (Human Alliance, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-21'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 Missiles

:Human Alliance Bumblebee comes with a posable figure of [[Sam Witwicky]] that can fit inside in Bumblebee's vehicle mode (plugging into his seat via a small hole in his back) and drive him. In robot mode, Bumblebee's vehicle-mode seats end up on his arms, and Sam can sit in either of them; the seat on Bumblebee's right has a headrest that can fold down to look slightly less conspicuous in robot mode, while the seat on Bumblebee's left arm features a pair of cannons which flip over Sam's shoulders, offering him some offensive hardware to protect his rather precarious position. These cannons can also be flipped down further to form some over-the-shoulder restraints. Sam can also stand on a platform that flips out from the small of Bumblebee's back (again, via peg-holes on his feet), manning a small non-firing cannon that flips out over Bumblebee's right shoulder. Finally, Bumblebee's left palm also contains a peg, meaning Sam can securely stand or sit in his big buddy's hand. Bumblebee himself features a spring-loaded cannon for his left arm, which can fire the two missiles the figure comes with, a flip-out double-barreled silver cannon that points over his head, and a functional flip-down battle mask. Much like the rest of his Human Alliance brethren, Bumblebee is roughly the same size as an ''[[Alternators]]'' toy, being slightly taller than ''Alternators'' [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] in robot mode.

[[Image:Human Alliance Bumblebee Prototype.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Modders, vindicated by the prototype.]]
:There is a significant [[misassembly]] issue with Bumblebee: according to TakaraTomy's images of the resin [[prototype]] as well as Bumblebee's CG design, the retail toy's legs are on the wrong sides of his body, so the details on his legs are inverted. Since the instructions reflect this assembly, it's possible that this was [[design change|done on purpose]] because with the toy in its originally intended assembly, the waist section could be rather difficult to transform for children. The toy's originally intended assembly can still be [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/243649-human-alliance-bumblebee-leg-mod.html easily achieved by disassembling his crotch and reassembling the legs backwards.] Once this is complete, Bumblebee will look the way he was intended to look, while adding some minor extra steps during transformation.

[[Image:ROTF GravityBot Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|300px| The evolution of Jumpstarters!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Gravity Bot, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GB-02'''

:Plonk him down. Lift him up. Plonk him down. Lift him up. This addictive toy transforms automatically when stood up (vehicle to robot), or placed on his back (robot to vehicle). A switch underneath his feet or his car mode releases the transformation — so the toy can be played with in relatively stable modes if held in the air, or just rolling along the ground.

:Because gravity is the powering force in the transformation there's no motors to wear out or batteries to use up when playing with the toy. Which is good, because you will be transforming him no less than nine million times.

:Bumblebee features dumpy proportions and low movie accuracy (no door wings here), forced upon the toy to accommodate the [[Gravity Bot]]s transformation gimmick. His robot mode has no articulation, not even head. But at least he has big feet! Or legs... or whatever the heck they are. Stump? At least he has a big stump.

*'''Battle Blade Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-02'''

:This entirely new Deluxe class Bumblebee for the ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers'' (2010)]] toyline features a much more accurate sculpt in robot mode compared to previous versions of Deluxe class Camaro Concept Bumblebee, with the transformation scheme taking many cues from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Human Alliance Bumblebee, scaled down to Deluxe size, while using an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] design for the leg transformation directly based on the original Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee. Despite the very similar looks, Battle Blade Bumblebee uses no parts from previous toys; everything about him is an entirely new sculpt.

:His right hand can be switched out for his cannon by opening the arm guard, flipping out the cannon barrel, folding away the right hand and folding the cannon over to the wrist. Due to how the parts were distributed on the plastic sprues during production, the cannon barrel is yellow rather than grey. The left arm-guard has a flip-out axe made of transluscent blue plastic, representing the axe weapon Bumblebee uses in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video games]], which itself may have been based upon the electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] that was once considered as a melee weapon for Bumblebee in the first movie. The axe is spring-loaded, activated by a button on his arm-guard. This version of Movie Bumblebee also features a flip-down battle mask, very similar to Human Alliance Bumblebee. In other words, pure premium awesome-sauce.

:Stock photos show that the axe was originally made in such a way that the blade was mounted on a rod and could be rotated downwards, but this was changed entirely for unknown reasons (possibly fragility). As a result, the blade is mounted upside-down.

:The Japanese ''Autobot Alliance'' release features marginally darker yellow plastic and paint.

*'''Bumblebee''' (2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MPM-2'''

:''[[Masterpiece]]'' Movie Bumblebee is a redeco of Battle Ops Bumblebee. He is a large (roughly leader size) new mold with "guardian" and "warrior" robot modes, which changes weapons and sound effects. He has a flip down battle mask, a right arm that converts to a plasma cannon, and two shoulder/hood missile launchers (non-functional).

:Unlike the Hasbro version, he features a very extensive paint job including chromed rims, and features no yellow plastic despite his appearance. Instead all of his yellow parts are painted over gray plastic, to give it as close to a Movie like appearance as possible.

:Among other notable plastic color changes, the [[TakaraTomy]] version features a clear colorless right hand rather than clear blue like the Hasbro release.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Cyberverse Legion, 2011)
**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''001'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV08'''

:''[[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Cyberverse]] Legion class Bumblebee is an all-new mold that takes basic design cues from the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class Bumblebee, but generally improves upon them by being more accurate in robot mode. His right hand is sculpted as his Plasma Cannon, while his left hand has the ability to hold onto Cyberverse weapons and interact with Cyberverse playsets.

:The final toy differs from promotional photos by being cast in a different color of plastic similar to previous releases of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class mold, while the promotional photos depict him in a lighter hue of yellow. Amusingly, this has already happened before and in almost the exact same way. History tends to repeat itself, folks.

This Bumblebee also comes with ''[[Machine Wars]]'' [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]'s gun (though this weapon is also depicted on Starscream's side of the instructions, confusing matters of ownership a bit), which can be held in his newly retooled right hand.

:Yet ''another'' Stealth Bumblebee, this toy is a [[black repaint|black]] [[repaint]] of his ''Dark of the Moon'' mold.

His headlights and windshields are painted a metallic blue, and he has a gold Autobot insignia on the tip of his hood.

:While this toy is listed as Stealth Bumblebee on the Hasbro website and named as such on the [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]], the "Stealth" prefix did not appear on the American packaging for some time.

*'''Bumblebee''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/Plasma Cannon

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Bumblebee is an entirely new figure that resembles in many ways the 2010 toyline Battle Blade Bumblebee.His joints are also somewhat loose. In addition to the cosmetic changes made to the vehicle mode and robot mode to resemble the third movie's altered visual design, this Bumblebee also comes with a [[MechTech]] weapon. When a lever is pulled back on the "Blaster" weapon, it opens up into a larger "Plasma Cannon", but it springs back into its original position once the lever is left alone. The MechTech weapon can be held in his hands, attach via [[5mm post|5mm pegholes]]/MechTech ports on his forearms, or plug in a "concealed" 5mm peghole on the vehicle mode's roof.Oddly,his [[MechTech]] weapon does NOT fit in other models plugs.Other models weapons can't fit in his plugs. Additionally, [[C joint]] bars are sculpted into Bumblebee's forearms.
:Bumblebee can form a semi-Stealth Force configuration by lifting up the rear half of his roof, exposing concealed cannons sculpted in translucent blue plastic. Also of note in vehicle mode is the sculpted Camaro SS badging near the doors, which doesn't appear on any other ''Dark of the Moon'' Bumblebee toy or the prop vehicles used for filming.

:Just like his CG robot model, his [[package art]] depicts his racing stripes being pinstripe-bordered despite his toy no longer having it. Whoops.Another strange change is that his doors still have windows despite having those Nascar windows.Double whoops.

*'''Nitro Bumblebee''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA18'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Cybertronian Boost Engine/Plasma Cannon

:Nitro Bumblebee is an all-new mold, featuring booster engines, armour plating and other Stealth Force-like design elements sculpted onto the vehicle mode. He features five MechTech ports in this mode: one on the hood, two of the roof and two behind his rear wheels. Nitro Bumblebee transforms rather differently to most of the other Deluxe class Bumblebee molds, with much of the entire front of the car being articulated chest pieces rather than the usual front fenders separating from the rest of the chest. Also of note are his legs, which are considerably different in appearance and transformation to the standard set by the 2007 ''Transformers'' Deluxe class (Camaro Concept) Bumblebee, with the rear wheels ending up inside of his ankle. Both of his arms have one MechTech port each, and the ports from vehicle mode can still be used.

:Bumblebee's MechTech weapon, though similar in function and appearance to [[Skids (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Skids]]'s MechTech blaster, is in actuality an entirely new mold.

**''Accessories:'' Plasma Cannon

:This [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] Bumblebee is a redeco of the [[Movie (toyline)|2007 ''Transformers'']] Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee. Bumblebee features many different ''Transformers'' [[insignia]]s from across different continuities, namely; [[:Image:Ancient Autobot Symbol.png|Generation 1 Prehistory Autobot]], [[:Image:Auto-g2.png|Generation 2 Autobot]], [[:Image:Minicon symbol.png|Armada Mini-Con]], [[:Image:Sumdac Systems.PNG|Animated Sumdac Systems]], [[:Image:Playschool Go-Bots G.png|Playschool Go-Bot]], [[S.T.A.R.S.]], "FLY [[Omega Supreme|Ω SUPREME]]", [[G.B.

:The stock photography on the back of his packaging is quite strange. It shows a significantly different deco, with the entire lower half of his vehicle mode and parts of his abdomen and crotch painted red, as well as his blade being a clear blue, when the final toy has no red paint and his blade is cast in clear black plastic. His eyes are also shown to be painted bright blue, when his final eyes are painted black. The stock photos also contradict ''each other'', having the clear plastic of his robot mode be blue, whereas his vehicle mode sports ''black'' plastic.

==Notes==
[[Image:ROTF Legends Bumblebee HTS.jpg|thumb|200px|Are you calling me yellow? ... wait.]]
* A weapon considered for Bumblebee was a pair of arm-mounted electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stingers]]. The Bumblebee Camaro '09 toy's blade weapon might have been influenced by this early concept.
*Stock photos of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends-class Bumblebee toy show it in a much brighter shade of yellow plastic than it was released as. The reason for this change is unknown.

==Notes==
*Human Alliance Arcee was purposefully designed to look like another motorcycle that Mikaela briefly used in ''Revenge of the Fallen''<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=65426 Hasbro December 09 Q&A, AllSpark]</ref>, and as a result, doesn't look much like herself. Chromia uses Arcee's actual design in both modes, only in blue.
*Due to the enormous workload the [[TakaraTomy]] designers were under, [[Shogo Hasui]] was by default the one assigned to present a proof-of-concept prototype for the Human Alliance subset. He rapidly created the proof-of-concept model using a 2007 ''[[Movie (toyline)|Transformers]]'' Voyager class [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] toy with a new shoulder (that turned into a seat for the human passenger in either mode), a new left forearm (which turned into a motorcycle) and a new gigantic weapons array. He revealed that the line's requirements stated that the robot modes only needed to have a passing resemblance to the movie design, jokingly stating that he had "accidentally" created a well-made Bumblebee robot mode.<ref name="Generations 3">TakaraTomy designer interview in ''Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 3'' [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/281700-takaratomy-staff-interview-rotf-human-alliance-gravity-bots-more.html Translated interview on TFW2005.com]</ref>
*[[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] would have been the next Human Alliance figures after Bumblebee, but this was changed to Sideswipe and Skids due to the large size of Ironhide and Ratchet's vehicle modes.<ref name="Generations 3"/>
*The relatively small sizes of Skids and Mudflap was the main reason for the inclusion of Arcee and Chromia.<ref name="Generations 3"/>
*[[Hisashi Yuki]] took over the Human Alliance line after Bumblebee.<ref name="Generations 3"/>
*Since when is Frenzy a human? Mind you, 'Humanoid Alliance' doesn't roll off the tongue so well.
*The Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes figures included in the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] lineup are entirely new sculpts compared to the figures from the ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' assortment. They're slightly smaller and thus in line with the Lennox figure available with Jazz, who is also smaller than Sideswipe's Epps. The DOTM Human Alliance toys also have the smaller human figures, so it appears this will be the new standard.
*Although the smaller triple-changers are referred to as Basic figures, a tag previously given to the Scout size class or the one between Legends and Scouts, most of the figures are on par with the smaller DOTM Deluxes. The exception is Tailpipe, who is Scout-sized, due to the inclusion of Pinpointer.

Triple Changer

[[Image:5 blitzwing new world order.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Blitzwing demonstrates his triple-changing abilities, transforming from an ''incredibly'' unconvincing jet into a tank that's only ''slightly'' unconvincing.]]
In their quest for ever-greater machines of war, the [[Decepticon]]s developed warriors with two distinct alternate forms. These '''Triple Changers''' can travel by land and air with equal ease, and in the heat of battle they can rapidly change form to confuse and outflank the enemy. To counter this threat, the [[Autobot]]s also developed their own group of Triple Changers.

The Triple Changers are:

{{collist|2|
* Decepticons:
** [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]
** [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]]
** [[Octane]]

* Autobots:
** [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]]
** [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]]
** [[Springer (G1)|Springer]]
}}

{{note|In Transformers fiction, the term "Triple Changer" refers almost exclusively to these two subgroups, which are the only such characters ever shown as cohesive teams. However, other official sources such as toy packaging, catalogs, Hasbro spokespersons, and commercials have applied the term "Triple Changer" rather haphazardly to many other characters from various continuities. Further muddying the waters, a few characters with three distinct modes have never been labeled as Triple Changers in toys or fiction, even in cases where it would really make sense to do so.}}

==Fiction==
===Generation 1===
====Cartoon continuity====
Triple-changing is an [[ability]] shared by some Transformers.
{{stub}}
====Marvel Comics continuity====
=====Generation 1=====
{{noteukonly}}

''[[Steamhammer (G1)|Steamhammer]] fought Autobots in a battle near the town of [[Yuss]] using both his jet and tank modes. He was killed.'' {{storylink|The Magnificent Six!}}

[[Image:Ratbatcratercritters.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Didja ever wonder what guys like Astrotrain do if they have an itch in the middle of their back? That's gotta ''suck'' for 'em. There is ''no way'' he can reach back there.]]

''The Decepticon Triple Changers existed for an unknown length of time, and Octane and Blitzwing developed a reputation as two of Cybertron's deadliest killers: key targets in [[Operation: Volcano]]. {{storylink|Target: 2006}} The deadly killer Octane would later oversee a [[Decepticon fuel store|fuel store]] and run away screaming from Autobots.'' {{storylink|Resurrection!}}

The Decepticon Triple Changers were called into service by Ratbat when a freighter that he had sent to Earth failed to make contact upon its arrival. The three Triple Changers traveled to Earth via space bridge and located the crashed freighter at the bottom of an impact crater. They quickly discovered that the pilot had become infected with [[scraplet]]s...which immediately infected ''them'' as well. Despite the rapidly spreading disease, they were happy to attack two Autobots who arrived to investigate the crater. One of the Autobots fled, while the other proved to be a fair match for the trio. {{storylink|Crater Critters}}

Eventually, they overpowered and captured [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], taking him prisoner. Astrotrain contacted Ratbat on Cybertron, requesting a cure. Instead, Ratbat dispatched a group of captured Autobots with orders to destroy all the infected Transformers on Earth with canisters of acid... including his own troops! Weakened by the disease, the Triple Changers could do little but sit around in the crater and wait for the end to come, whether by acid melting or scraplet consumption.

Luckily for the Triple Changers, the other Autobot, Goldbug, had managed to find a cure for the disease. Though Blaster demanded that Goldbug kill him along with the Decepticons rather than curing them, Goldbug's hand was forced the other way when the scraplets merged into a titanic combined form. He sprayed [[water|the cure]] on all the crater's occupants, including the Decepticons. Quickly recovering, the Triple Changers rallied to the attack, bringing down the combined scraplet monster with their weapons. Subsequently, they grabbed the cargo of the crashed freighter and made good their escape. {{storylink|The Cure!}}

The Triple Changers subsequently joined the main force of Decepticons on Earth, initially under Shockwave's command, then later Ratbat's. They participated in the great battle against the Autobots on the Moon, {{storylink|Totaled!}} played host to human guests at [[Club Con]], {{storylink|Club Con!}} and battled Scorponok's forces in the Arctic, a battle in which they fared particularly well. {{storylink|Cold War!}} They didn't fare so well against the Underbase-powered Starscream, however, who slaughtered all three of them in a single blast.

''During the [[Earthforce]] conflict of... er, whenever it was, the Triple Changers would serve under [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. {{storylink|The Bad Guy's Ball!}} Their great highlights were helping beat the snot out of Megatron {{storylink|Secrets}} and joining the massed attack on Autobot Earthbase. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}} Their lowlight was Octane getting stuck on a military firing range while full of fuel, and Astrotrain and Blitzwing leaving him behind out of annoyance. {{storylink|Manoeuvres!}}

In a dystopian future, they served under Galvatron and killed [[Crossblades (G1)|Crossblades]]. {{storylink|Rhythms of Darkness!}}

[[Image:Triplechangerstarget2006.jpg|thumb|right|250px| ]]

''The Autobot Triple Changers first came to prominence in the days leading up to Operation: Volcano; they were called into service by Emirate [[Xaaron]] to fill in for Ultra Magnus, should the latter not return from Earth in time to participate in the mission. They convinced the Wreckers' leader, [[Impactor]], that they would be up to the challenge by beating the stuffing out of him before rocketing back to the Autobot base, [[Debris]]. When Impactor was killed in the aborted mission, Triple Changer Springer took over as Wrecker leader, with the other two becoming part of the force as well.'' {{storylink|Target: 2006}}

''The Triple Changers participated in several of the Wreckers' missions on Cybertron {{storylink|City of Fear!}} and Earth. {{storylink|Wrecking Havoc}} After the latter mission turned into a near-disaster, Sandstorm and Broadside were sent to Earth along with Inferno as an advance guard.'' {{storylink|Firebug!}} {{storylink|Cold Comfort and Joy!}}

''They were still with the Wreckers during the catastrophic battle against Megatron and Galvatron, which saw Sandstorm destroyed. Broadside and Springer survived, {{storylink|Time Wars (issue)|Time Wars}} eventually going on to form the Survivors group {{storylink|Survivors!}} and later hooking up with Grimlock's [[Earthforce]]''. {{storylink|Wolf in the Fold!}}

''In a possible future, Springer and Sandstorm would be two of the last Autobots when the war ended in 2510. [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] made Springer his successor, only for fighting to break out over it; Sandstorm fired the second shot, killing [[Triton]].'' {{storylink|Peace}}

=====Generation 2=====
Broadside was part of a team of "Firestormers" that raided various Decepticon outposts across the galaxy. {{storylink|War Without End!}} Springer, meanwhile, had apparently joined Optimus Prime's main force of Autobots and participated in a counter-Decepticon raid on [[Ethos]] {{storylink|Escalation!}} as well as the final battle against the Swarm on Earth. {{storylink|A Rage in Heaven!}}

Octane was also present in the conflict, but [[Death|not for long]]. {{storylink|Total War!}}

====Dreamwave Comics====
[[Image:BlitzwingDissectionDreamwave.jpg|right|200px|thumb|This detailed, scientific cut-away view reveals that underneath all that armor, Blitzwing is... made of mechanical stuff.]]

Triple Changers Blitzwing, Octane and Astrotrain were involved in Decepticon battle operations around the time that Optimus Prime rose to command the Autobots. They participated in a major attack on Iacon. {{storylink|The War Within issue 3|The War Within #3}}

Later, Blitzwing spontaneously began to grow new parts, perhaps heralding his evolution into a Triple Changer. Yes, we know this makes no sense. {{storylink|Recipe for Hate}}

{{note|As a Triple Changer, the subject can change between modes three times as fast as a normal Transformer.}}

====IDW Comics====
Astrotrain and Blitzwing were part of Starscream's [[Infiltration protocol|Infiltration Unit]] on Earth. {{storylink|Infiltration}} They survived attacks by the [[Reaper]]s and Autobots before the Autobots were driven from the planet. {{storylink|Devastation (IDW)|Devastation}} When the Autobots returned with Omega Supreme, the Decepticons retreated into space, ferried by Astrotrain. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron}}
{{note|Broadside, Sandstorm, and [[Octane|Tankor]] have not been shown to transform into their second alternate mode, if they have one in this continuity. [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] has only been shown transforming into a helicopter, but has ground vehicle [[kibble]] and sketches of his third mode were included in bonus material for the [[Last Stand of the Wreckers]] trade paperback.}}

Attack mode

2011-10-01T14:08:45Z

124.106.132.20: /* See also */

[[Image:BW_BBoom_toy.jpg|thumb|right|250px|]]

'''Attack mode''' (sometimes called '''Battle mode''') is an extra mode added to a ''Transformer'' toy to give its robot mode and/or alternate mode a more combat-orientated configuration. It primarily consists of a figure arranging or adding weapons in such a way that it becomes more focused on combat than the standard robot or alternate mode. Sometimes it consists of uncovering weapons not seen on either mode. A good example of this is [[B'Boom]]'s third mode. Another example is [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]]; by deploying his cannons on his back and flipping out his guns, he goes from imposing to "beating you to hell and back".

However, attack mode may also involve only a slight shift from the basic robot/alt mode, such as folding wings onto the shoulders, like [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]], or just pointing the beast mode head up on the chest, as with [[Snarl (Animated)|Snarl]]. It is most likely that these modes are thought up by [[Hasbro]] to give the toy an extra bonus without actually investing in extra parts.

==Toys==
===''Generation 1''===
[[Image:Downshift_vehicle.jpg|thumb|right|150px|I play Downshift in attack mode!]]
The [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]] possessed vehicular "assault modes" with weapons systems deployed from their alt modes.

===''Beast Wars''===
The term "attack mode" was used rather loosely throughout the ''Beast Wars''. Several characters were advertised as having an attack mode in their instruction booklets, but oftentimes, this mode was merely the character's beast mode with their robot-mode weapons deployed. Nonetheless, the following characters were referred as having an attack mode:

{{collist|3|
*[[B'Boom]]
*[[Transquito]]
*[[Ravage (G1)|Tripredacus Agent]]

;Fuzor
*[[Bantor]]
*[[Buzzclaw (BW)|Buzzclaw]]
*[[Injector]]
*[[Noctorro]]
*[[Terragator]]
*[[Torca]]

;Transmetal 2
*[[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]]
*[[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]]
*[[Cybershark]]
*[[Dinobot II|Dinobot]]
*[[Iguanus (BW)|Iguanus]]
*[[Jawbreaker]]
*[[Night Glider]]
*[[Ramulus]]
*[[Prowl II|Prowl]]
*[[Scourge (BW)|Scourge]]
*[[Spittor (BW)|Spittor]]
*[[Stinkbomb]]
}}

Additionally, the following characters were said to possess an '''animal attack mode''':
{{collist|2|
*[[B'Boom]]
*[[Cicadacon]]
*[[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]
*[[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] (Magnaboss)
*[[Ram Horn]]
*[[Sea Clamp]]
*[[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]] (Magnaboss)
*[[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]] (Fuzor)
*[[Transquito]]
*[[Windrazor (BW)|Windrazor]]}}

What draws the line between an animal attack mode and a regular attack mode in these cases is unknown. [[B'Boom]] and [[Transquito]] were the only Transformers to possess two separate "attack modes" each. Oddly enough, nearly all toys from this era were shown as possessing similar offensive abilities in their beast modes that would suggest they too had either an "attack mode" or an "animal attack mode". However, in these cases, said ability was not shown to be a distinct mode, but was alternatively referred to with the somewhat redundant term "attack weapons". Finally, [[Optimus Primal|Optimal Optimus]] possesses two vehicle modes, the names of which evoked an "attack mode": his "Hypersonic Attack Mode" and his "Ground Assault Mode".

In the guide book ''[[Beast Wars Universe]]'', there are several terms for third mode besides "attack mode", including:

{{collist|3|
;Another form
*[[Buzzclaw (BW)|Buzzclaw]]
*[[Optimus Minor]]
*[[Optimus Primal]] (Ultra)
*[[Retrax]]
*[[Scarem]]
*[[Sonar (BW)|Sonar]]

;Attack weapons
*[[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]]
*[[Drill Bit (BW)|Drill Bit]]

;On the shelves
*[[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] (Transmetal 2)
*[[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] (Transmetal 2)

;''Miscellaneous''
*Aerial battle mode - [[Tigerhawk]]
*Robotic defense mode - [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] (Transmetal 2)
*Shield mode - [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] (Transmetal)
}}

===''Energon''===
Aside from the smaller [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]]s and the Decepticon combiners, every Decepticon has a '''Hyper Mode'''. Sometimes it is just a minor repositioning of parts, as with [[Slugslinger (Energon)|Slugslinger]], but in many cases, it reveals hidden weapons or accessories, like [[Sharkticon (Energon)|Sharkticon's]] side cannons or [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat's]] skis. In the cases of [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]], [[Shockblast]], and [[Six Shot]], their third modes (scorpion or satellite) act as the vehicle mode's hyper mode, the vehicle mode being a plane or a laser tank.

===''Transformers Animated''===
* [[Oil Slick (Animated)|Oil Slick]] has a ''hilarious'' "Vehicle Attack Mode" that pretty much looks like he's doing a pushup.
* [[Snarl (Animated)|Snarl]] features an "attack mode", that is basically flipping the beast mode's face up on his robot mode chest.

===Live-action film series===
*[[Depthcharge (ROTF)|Depthcharge]] and his [[redeco]]es, [[Sonar (ROTF)|Sonar]] and the cancelled [[Drydock]], have a battle mode allowing them to transform into robot mode while still on the water and float on large boat-feet.
*[[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]] and his redeco, [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] have a battle mode that consists of his rotor being pointed forward and his wings propped upwards.
*[[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]] and his redeco, [[Sunspot]], have a battle mode.

The entire [[Stealth Force]] concept can be considered attack modes for a Transformer's alternate form, and several toys from ''[[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' toyline have the ability to deploy weapons in vehicle mode to simulate it.

</gallery></center>

==Notes==
* A Transformer with an attack mode as the third mode isn't usually a [[Triple Changer]]. Some of them weren't labeled or identified as Triple Changers until several years after the release of the toys.

NEST

2011-10-01T13:53:15Z

124.106.132.20:

{{factions|NEST}}
:''NEST is a military organization from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film series]] [[Continuity family|continuity family]].''

[[Image:NEST insignia.png|right|300px|Moooooooove out, soldier!]]

Following the disbanding of [[Sector Seven]], '''Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers (NEST)''' was set up under [[William Lennox]] to create a combined [[United States military|United States Military]]/[[United Kingdom]]/[[Autobot]] defense force against [[Decepticon]]s. Under the classified [[Alien/Autobot Cooperation Act]], the Autobots share intelligence and personnel with the US, but not their advanced weaponry.

NEST is given marching orders from the [[Pentagon]], specifically the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff ([[Morshower]] in 2008-9). Despite this and its American origins, it expanded early on to include armed forces from other nations such as the [[United Kingdom]] and is allowed access to [[China|foreign territory]].

{{bigquote|A classified strike team called NEST. We hunt for what remains of our Decepticon foes, hiding in different countries around the globe.|[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]|[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|''Revenge of the Fallen'']]}}

:''Polish name:'' '''GNIAZDO''' (only in [[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|the video game]])

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Alliance3_NEST_rollout.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Hey, that's my line!]]

Approximately one month after the events in [[Mission City]], Sector Seven inadvertently reactivated the [[Decepticon]] [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] and simultaneously attracted the attention of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and the subsequent battle leveled Sector Seven's [[Nevada]] bunker, costing dozens of lives. [[John Keller (Movie)|Secretary of Defense Keller]] immediately terminated the clandestine group's operations upon learning of the incident.

In the aftermath, Captain Lennox tried to convince his dubious and hostile superiors at the [[Pentagon]] that the Autobots were indeed trustworthy and would be a valuable asset. His superiors impressed upon him that in order for the military to provide full disclosure, the Autobots must cooperate fully, and that the unit was Lennox's responsibility now. After the burial-at-sea of [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and Lennox agreed that for the protection of their mutual homeworld, they must trust each other and work together as a single team. Sometime later, the newly formed NEST command commenced training at the military base on [[Diego Garcia]]. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3|Alliance #3}}

NEST had a baptism of fire against the [[Decepticon]] scouts [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] and [[Jolt (Movie)|Dead End]] in [[San Francisco]]: the mission was successful although Lennox was criticized for allowing the Autobots to transform on the Golden Gate Bridge. NEST expanded to a multinational force and began taking on Decepticon agents across [[Earth]]: [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] and [[Overcast (Movie)|Overcast]] were destroyed in Europe, while [[Dropkick]] and [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] were defeated in [[Florida]]. NEST's victories were tempered with the ultimate sacrifice, such as when [[Salani]] died battling [[Jetstorm (Movie)|Jetstorm]]. When [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] redeployed back to the 'States as [[Sam Witwicky]]'s guardian, NEST received a much-needed boost in Transformers ranks when [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] came to Earth. This joy was short-lived, however: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}
{{-}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}
As [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] was spotted in [[Zambia]], gaining control over local rebel groups by using his internal synthesizers to create [[gold]] coins, NEST was deployed to the Zambezi River to battle [[Dropkick]], [[Macerator]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]]. [[Beachbreak]] was killed by Starscream while helping Optimus Prime not fall to his death at Victoria Falls. Starscream's Decepticons attempted to destroy a series of dams, but Prime killed Macerator, while Payload was drowned when the humans entered the dam and opened the flood gates.

Epps, Russian scientist [[Petr Andronov]], [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] and [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knockout]] went to [[Peru]], while Lennox, [[Kaminari Ishihara]], Prime, Ironhide, and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] arrived in the Western [[Australia]]n Outback. Epps' team fought off [[Ruination (ROTF)|Ruination]] and [[Blademaster]], while Lennox's group encountered [[Kickback (ROTF)|Kickback]], [[Tread]] and [[Trample]]. Before dying, Kickback revealed he was part of a Decepticon faction not under Starscream's command, which were trying to gather enough energy to revive Megatron.

At Diego Garcia, [[crab spy|a small crab]] Decepticon infiltrated the base and hacked into the NEST computers before sneaking back into the sea. Despite the break-in, the NEST team continued their usual business, hunting another [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] and [[Jolt (Movie)|Deadend]] in [[Italy|Rome]]. Unexpectedly, Starscream challenged Prime to single combat inside the Coliseum. There, Prime fell through a trap door to a subway tunnel extension and into a strong set of restraints arranged by Italian criminal [[Bruno Carrera]] - who was promised rule of Europe once Starscream conquered Earth - where he was attacked by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. The humans rescued Prime though, and Barricade and Starscream fled. {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}

NEST have a centralised [[NEST Server]]. Target coordinates so any nearby forces can get the necessary data. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}

NEST have a secret base in a hangar at Edwards Air Force Base, [[California]], which both monitors for Decepticons and possesses a rapid-reaction strike team for missions on US soil. Ironhide was the commanding officer there, with Sergeant [[Dundee]] as the strike team's leader. At least five people monitor and handle the computer side of things, and like the Diego Garcia base, they work on a raised platform on wheels. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}} A Regional Command base exists in [[Wyoming]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}} A second California base is at Andrews Air Force Base {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}}, and an armoury is hidden in the [[Texas|Alamo]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.12|Rules of Engagement}}

An overseas base, labelled as forward operations, exists in [[United Kingdom|Scotland's]] Orkney Islands, overseen by [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. It contains a training facility for Autobots, but does not appear heavily staffed. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}} Another overseas base, a prison for captured Decepticons, was located in Bloemfontein, [[South Africa]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} A NEST Ops base for [[Canada]] is located in [[CFB Comox]], Vancouver Island {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}} and a north [[Russia|Russian]] base is located in the Arkhangelskaya Oblast. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.20|Divided Loyalties}}

Optimus was absent for a while, off in [[Australia]] on NEST business. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

The California NEST team went to [[Las Vegas]] to intercept and capture [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]. They came close, disabling him with electrified cables and almost anchoring him to the ground, only for [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] to muck it up. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}}

Later, when the twins were at Diego Garcia, the Decepticon [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] was captured in Australia. Optimus Prime returned to Diego Garcia with this prisoner, but Sideways was freed when [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] attacked the island. Since the villain shouldn't have gotten that close without being spotted (there's an ocean in the way!), it was clear NEST's security had been compromised. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

Later, the Wyoming base detected the battle between the twins and [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

[[Image:Titan9_NESTdiversion.jpg|thumb|left|300px|There is nothing to see here. Honest.]]

Even later than that, after that whole [[The Fallen|Fallen]] thing (see below), NEST attempted to lure [[Reverb (ROTF)|a motorbike Decepticon]] out of traffic in [[Los Angeles]] and into a trap. Unfortunately, [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] fubar-ed the mission and while the target was captured, the damage was extensive. This made [[Theodore Galloway]] ''very'' happy, as it was a new excuse to get NEST shut down.

Two days after that, NEST's Watch-Seven called for help from Andrews Air Force Base, reporting an unknown Cybertronian attacker and requesting back-up. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}} Some time after, NEST forces responded to an attempted break-in at the Alamo armoury. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.12|Rules of Engagement}}

[[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] would go on to cause a jailbreak in South Africa, overpowering the Autobot guards; NEST had to let Bludgeon's Decepticons leave to prevent civilian deaths. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} Following his escape, NEST forces have seen action against his militia and unrelated Decepticons in Canada, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}, the North Atlantic {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.15|Making Waves}}, Egypt {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}, and [[Peru]] {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.17|The Kingdom of Starscream}}. After they were seen to retreat in South Africa, however, NEST's standing has been low in the eyes of the world. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
NEST arrived in Shanghai with a cover story provided by the Chinese government that they were cleaning up a toxic spill in the industrial area. In reality, the Autobot-human military alliance was hunting the sixth group of Decepticon infiltrators detected in the past eight months, with the hopes of cleanly taking out the enemy without members of the public witnessing the secret war. Unfortunately, the Decepticons, Demolishor and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], wrecked a significant portion of Shanghai before they were defeated by Sideswipe and Optimus Prime. Returning to their base at Diego Garcia, Lennox and Optimus met [[Theodore Galloway]], who was appointed their new Director by the [[President of the United States]], and held a video conference with General [[Morshower]]. Galloway noted President [[Barack Obama|Obama]]'s serious concerns at the destruction during the Shanghai battle, and voiced his opinion that the Decepticons only remained because the Autobots did. Optimus said that if the Autobots were asked to leave, they would do so, but asked Galloway to pass on a message to the President: what if the Autobots leave, and the humans are wrong?

Little did they know, [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] was listening in on their conversation, overhearing details such as [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s location in the [[Laurentian Abyss]], and the last [[AllSpark]] fragment in storage at Diego Garcia. [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] was deployed to steal the fragment, which [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]] used to revive their leader. The reborn Megatron went after [[Sam Witwicky]], and Optimus Prime died protecting him. Following Optimus' death, the Decepticons arrived in greater numbers during bolder attacks under the leadership of Megatron's master, [[The Fallen]], with the promise of more if the humans did not turn Sam over to the Decepticons. Galloway ordered the termination of NEST and that the Autobots retreat to Diego Garcia.

But [[Seymour Simmons]] contacted Lennox, revealing he had travelled to [[Egypt]] with Sam to unravel the Decepticons' plot, and that they should bring Optimus Prime's body, as the boy had a plan to resurrect him. Lennox managed to get the information to General Morshower, who managed to arrange assets to be positioned accordingly. During their supposed flight to Diego Garcia, Lennox had the pilots divert to Egypt and then fake engine trouble so Galloway would be forced to parachute off the plane, so they could land outside the [[pyramid]]s instead. Once they set up, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] performed a flyby and released an [[electromagnetic pulse]], disabling communications, while Soundwave knocked out the [[United States military]] satellite coverage. Once communications were out, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to attack, with a small force landing to engage NEST.

Suspecting something was wrong, Morshower ordered a UAV deployed to observe what was going on, while Simmons was able to use a radio from a [[Jordan]]ian helicopter to request backup from the nearby [[United States Navy#U.S.S. John C. Stennis (CVN-74)|U.S.S. ''John C. Stennis''<nowiki>'</nowiki> battle group]]. Once the UAV confirmed the battle was going on, Morshower deployed all available assets to the region. On the ground, NEST fought a desperate struggle to hold off the Decepticons, until Sam arrived with the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Once again in contact with the military, Sergeant Epps ordered in an airstrike, which managed to destroy most of the Decepticon forces. Megatron survived the strike, and killed Sam, but [[Dynasty of Primes|something]] managed to revive him, and he restored Optimus to life. With the Autobot leader functioning again, NEST watched as he combined with [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] and subsequently defeated The Fallen. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)}}

===''Dark of the Moon'' movie===
{{Cleanup|August 2011|This should all be in past tense}}
NEST arrives in an abandoned facility called Chernobyl to investigate an alien technology. Little did they know that [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]] was leading them to a trap, and as they journey deeper in the facility, they were ambushed by [[Shockwave]] and [[Driller]]. The Decepticons were then overpowered by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], leader of the [[Autobots]]. Returning to their secret base, disguised as a "Health and Human services", where they now train most of the Autobots in the NEST team. They meet [[Charlotte Mearing|Director Charlotte Mearing]], who interrogates Optimus, who seems to be in a "bad mood" due to humans not telling the Autobots about the concealed technology for the past few years. She appoints two of NASA's founding associates and astronaut [[Buzz Aldrin]] and explains the true event of the space race, explaining that there was a crashlanded spacecraft that landed on the moon, and NASA decided to investigate the ship, which made them realize, that they were not alone in this universe. Optimus then explains that the spacecraft is called "[[Ark (DOTM)|The Ark]]" and he has watched it escape Cybertron during the war. He also claims that it carries a technology that would have won the Autobots the war, and the captain, [[Sentinel Prime (DOTM)|Sentinel Prime]]. Optimus explains that he must get to the spacecraft and pray that it is in time.

As the Autobots: Optimus Prime, and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] arrive on the moon, they search for the Ark. As they enter the Ark, they find Sentinel, and Ratchet realizes that Sentinel sacrificed himself, to guard the Pillars, the technology which would have won the Autobots the war on Cybertron. Optimus then brings Sentinel home. Meanwhile, as [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Carly Spencer]] escape from Sam's office from Laserbeak, they were confronted by NEST guards, claiming that they are in the wrong facility. Sam persists, and calls [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] from one of the guard's radios. Bumblebee emerges and the guards give Sam the clearance to go in the facility. Sam gives the information about the "moon program, assassinations, and the dark side of the moon" to Lennox, but as Director Mearing sees Sam and Carly walk in, she doubts Sam, and cannot entrust National Security to "teenagers".

Meanwhile, Optimus uses his [[Matrix of Leadership]] to revive Sentinel, whom when he is awaken, believes that Optimus is an enemy, and attacks him, but he realizes that they are his fellow Autobots. Optimus explains that the war is lost, and that he only saved only five of his Pillars, while there were hundreds. Sentinel then explains to the NEST forces that the Pillars are devices that are used for transportation, which in this case, is for transporting refuges, he also explains that if the Pillars are in the hands of the Decepticons, it would mean the end of "[[Earth|your world]]."

As Sam and Carly are in Mearing's office, Sam asks if there is any way to contribute to the Autobots and NEST, but she refuses, as only soldiers and trained officers can work with NEST, as if she allows Sam to contribute, it will break her chain of command, she claims that Sam is a "messenger". So she appoints Sam under the protection of Bumblebee.

As Sam,and [[Seymour Simmons]] and his assistant, [[Dutch (DOTM)|Dutch]] realize that the Decepticons raided the Ark, took the Pillars and left five Pillars. Sam explains to Mearing that the whole thing was set up, and that the Decepticons were coming for Sentinel Prime. As a battle in the highway raged, and the Autobots returned to the NEST headquarters, they realized that Sentinel Prime had made a deal with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to ensure the survival of the Cybertronian race and it's home. Sentinel then kills [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] with his Cosmic Rust-Cannon, and Ironhide then disintegrates. Sentinel destroys the headquarters, while Mearing asks Sentinel what he was doing, and he claims that "he is a Prime, and the he doesn't take orders from humans". The NEST forces realize that Sentinel is too strong to be engaged, and that they have to retreat to the [[Pentagon]], with Sentinel taking all the Pillars, realizing that they have to hunt Sentinel down.

Back in the Pentagon, the NEST forces receive an encrypted audio code, which was Sentinel asking to renounce the Autobot rebels, and they will leave Earth unharmed and unspoiled. So the NEST forces have no choice but to exile the Autobots, using a ship called the ''Xantium''. Sam meets [[Robert Epps]], a former NEST soldier at the rocket facility. As the Autobots exile the planet, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] attacks the ship, presumably killing the Autobots.

Meanwhile, Sam gets a call from [[Dylan Gould]], a human agent of the Decepticons, saying that they would make sure that the Autobots will go without a fight. Using the phone call, Sam uses Dylan's phone number to track Dylan, with the help of Dutch. Dutch tracks the phone, and triangulates it to the Trump Tower in Chiacgo. Sam will have to go inside the tower, and rescue Carly, but Epps decides to help him, as Gould has killed his friends also. Epps picks up most of his former NEST soldiers, and they go to Chicago, which is now infested with Decepticons and became a barren wasteland, as they were attacked by the Decepticon fighters, Optimus and the Autobots rescued them from the attack.

Meanwhile, Lennox and his wingsuiting party decide to wingsuit in the building to destroy the Control Pillar at one of the skyscrapers. As they fly in to Chicago, they wingsuit in but Starscream attacks them, and several Decepticon fighters also attack the wingsuiters. The remaining wingsuiters land in one of the buildings, while Epps and his party snipe out the Decepticon's eyes, leaving them blind, and the ground forces plant charges on the Decepticons, and shoot them down. They manage to badly wound [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and kill [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], and some Decepticons. They also call in tomahawks to shoot down the Decepticon fighters, which were wounding Optimus, and gave Optimus cover as he fights Sentinel Prime. When the battle was finished, Lennox calls Sam so he could be reunited with Carly, and the NEST forces were also reunited. Presumably, Epps and his remaining NEST party returns to work at NEST. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

==Notes==
*What NEST stands for was not mentioned in ''Revenge of the Fallen''. Different meanings were given by different sources. Lately, Hasbro have favored "Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers" by including it in their online glossary as part of [[Vector Sigma]]'s [[Datatrax|Data Tracks]].<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/glossary/nest Vector Sigma's glossary entry on NEST.]</ref> Even more recently, though, movie comic author [[John Barber]] has consistently used "Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty" in his ''[[Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'' projects.

**'''Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty''' ''{{storylink|The Last Prime}}''

* NEST troopers appeared on Cover B of the ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' prequel comic "[[Alliance issue 2|Alliance #2]]" , but were nowhere to be seen in the story inside. This is because most of the covers illustrated by ''Revenge'' concept artist [[Josh Nizzi]] were meant to allude to scenes or situations in the actual ''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie itself.

* The native population of [[Diego Garcia]] were [[Wikipedia:Depopulation_of_Diego_Garcia|''expelled'']] from the island to make way for the joint [[United Kingdom]]/United States military bases. The Autobots are led by Optimus Prime, who believes freedom is the right of all sentient beings. Err...

* There is a real US Government agency known as NEST. [[Wikipedia:Nuclear_Emergency_Support_Team|The Nuclear Emergency Support Team]]. Of course, it could just be a cover for joint operations with alien robots. Toxic spill, indeed...

* The [[United Kingdom]], [[South Africa]], [[Canada]], [[Japan]], and [[Russia]] {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}} have contributed tech guys, soldiers, and bases; China, Egypt, [[Australia]] {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}, Argentina {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2}}, [[Peru]], [[Italy]], and [[Zambia]] {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}} ''may'' be part of it, or may just be allowing NEST to enter their territory.

* While the spin-off media presents NEST as a multinational force and ''Revenge of the Fallen'' does show them operating abroad and with foreign soldiers, in the film itself NEST is presented as being under the ''direct'' control of the United States of America. (That can't make China and Russia happy...)

* The ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline's [[Size class|Voyager class]] Ironhide toy features a different NEST symbol on his alt-mode doors; a white Autobot symbol wearing a red beret set within a United Nations-styled logo, with 'special program' written underneath. Meanwhile, Scout class [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]] features a NEST symbol with the Autobot sigil and a downward pointing broadsword (from a NEST special forces patch) replacing the cow's skull. [[Fast Action Battlers]] Ironhide has the same sword symbol as Dune Runner. Yet more toys have the globe-and-Autobot insignia shown above. NEST must have a lot of bored designers on staff.
** These alternate logos don't usually appear in the fiction. Exceptions include the Global Alliance logo on [[CFB Comox]] in a Titan comic.

124.106.132.20:

The '''Alien/Autobot Cooperation Act'''<ref>''[[Revenge of the Fallen (novel)]]</ref> is a secret agreement made by the [[United States of America|United States]] and the [[Autobot]]s. In return for providing intelligence and protection from the [[Decepticon]]s, the United States grant the Autobots safe haven.

The United States might have left out a [[Ark (DOTM)|relevant detail]] or two, though.

Turbo booster

2011-10-01T11:00:47Z

124.106.132.20: /* Toys */

{{picsneeded|Boosters deployed in car mode}}
:''Turbo boosters are a thing Bumblebee probably shouldn't have from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''
[[Image:TFA Nanosec Bumblebee turbo boosters.JPG|thumb|right|300px]]
[[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] considers himself the fastest thing on wheels, but sometimes even he needs a helping hand. When he needs to get the edge over a speedy opponent, he can deploy his '''turbo boosters''', which can work in both his vehicle mode and his robot mode. Of course, with Bumblebee being a responsible and careful [[Autobot]], it's perfectly safe for him to have these, right? Riiiiiight.

==Fiction==
===''Animated'' cartoon===
After [[Isaac Sumdac|Professor Sumdac]] developed the turbo boosters as a prototype, [[Sari Sumdac|Sari]] took them to the [[Autobot Earth Base|Autobot base]] and presented them to an overjoyed Bumblebee. [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus]], who had just lectured Bumblebee on not thinking with his thrusters, reacted with disbelief, and [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] immediately confiscated the boosters. A short time later, the Autobots came up against the super-fast [[human]] criminal [[Nanosec]] and Bumblebee discovered he was no longer the fastest thing around. He unsuccessfully tried to persuade Ratchet to install the boosters, and resigned himself to going without until Sari used her [[AllSpark Key]] on the sly to install them. Unfortunately the boosters proved uncontrollable, and after flattening Optimus and inadvertently helping Nanosec escape ''twice'', Bumblebee submitted that the others might have been right about them being a bad idea. Ratchet suggested Bumblebee transform into [[robot mode]], which was successful in deactivating the boosters.

When the Autobots realized that Nanosec's cybersuit was causing him to quickly age, Bumblebee used the boosters to lead Nanosec on a chase that sent him into old age. The [[Destronium]] Nanosec had been carrying became unstable and was in imminent danger of exploding. With [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] and [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]]'s help, plus his turbo boosters, Bumblebee carried the Destronium into the upper atmosphere, where it detonated harmlessly. The boosters sheared off during Bumblebee's subsequent rapid descent. {{storylink|Nanosec (episode)|Nanosec}}

The turbo boosters somehow survived and were recovered by the Autobots, though they were boxed up and stored at the Autobot base. There they remained until Bumblebee once again found his title as fastest thing on wheels under threat. The other Autobots refused to let him use the boosters to try and catch the mysterious [[Blurr (Animated)|blue racer]], but he secretly took them so he could take part in [[Master Disaster (Animated)|Master Disaster]]'s street races. The boosters allowed him to keep up with the blue racer, and Master Disaster invited him to the next race. Bumblebee entered the race with Sari riding along, only for [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] to crash the party. Fortunately Bumblebee's turbo boosters helped keep him one step ahead of Blitzwing until the blue racer knocked the [[Decepticon]] out of the air. {{storylink|Velocity}}

Apparently the other Autobots let Bumblebee keep his boosters installed. When the Autobots hit on the idea of using a [[plasma dynamic thruster]] on the [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]-controlled [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]], Bumblebee used his boosters, and a helping hand from Bulkhead, to fly up to pass the device to Optimus so he could plant it on Omega. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

==Games==
===Transformers Animated: The Game===
Bumblebee often used his turbo boosters while racing around [[Detroit]]. They were especially handy in catching up with [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]] after the bounty hunter stole an [[AllSpark]] fragment. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The Game}}

==Toys==
[[Image:Bumblebee anim toy.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

:Bumblebee's deluxe toy came with two booster rocks equipped with posts which slot into holes on the rear of Bumblebee's vehicle mode, or on his back in robot mode. They're not [[Show-accuracy|show accurate]], being that they're grey and translucent blue rather than yellow and black.

:''Jazz is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MovieJazz promorender.jpg|right|350px|thumb|"Slide with me. Just bounce with me. Now freeze!"]]
[[second-in-command|First Lieutenant]] '''Jazz''' is one happy-go-lucky Autobot. Good-natured and always able to take things in stride, he provides a decent contrast to the more serious demeanor of [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] or [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] himself. He's also a talker, something Ironhide and Prime like to tease him about. He might be the smallest Autobot but he's by no means a coward, willing to take on any foe, big or small.

{{bigquote|Oh, I got something ''real'' flashy in mind!|Jazz gets ready to create a distraction, [[Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game]]}}

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance1 Ratchet Jazz vocalprocessors.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Kup and Ratchet like blaming turbo revvin' young punks.]]
Many years before the civil war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Jazz was a member of the Security Force under [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]]. As Optimus pondered the venerable age of the artifacts they had found at an excavation near the temple of [[Simfur]], Jazz jokingly asked if they were as old as [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], earning him a threat of [[vocal processor]]-disabling retribution and a whack on the back of the head. He was present when [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]]'s team found a strange artifact with the [[Decepticon|strange symbol]] and helped escort the relic out of the dig site when the aliens whom Commander [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] had encountered earlier suddenly attacked the planet. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}}

In the aftermath, Jazz accompanied Prowl as the latter investigated the attack on the Simfur temple. Prowl theorised that the aliens were trying to break into the temple, not destroy it, Jazz opined that they must have been after the [[AllSpark]]. When Megatron rallied Cybertron's inhabitants to war against the alien attackers, Jazz and most of the others in the science and security division loyally stayed at Optimus's side to uphold the ideals of Cybertron. Later, when Prime mentioned Megatron's questionable behavior and wished there was unity in the population, Jazz pointed out that he had the same chance of convincing Megatron to be unified as they do of being considered part of his army. Realising sentries such as Prowl and Jazz had access to Megatron's personal quarters, Prime asked them for a favour. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

Jazz accompanied Optimus and Prowl to Megatron's quarters, where Optimus discovered that the relic previously unearthed seemed to have been restored by Megatron himself. Later, Jazz was part of the team sent to arrest Optimus for treason. However, on the way to Trypticon, the group were ambushed by members of the [[Defense Force]] sent to kill them. Optimus directed the others in a successful counter attack and ordered the group to rally at [[Burthov]]. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

Jazz and several other former security officers helped [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] "capture" the former military officer [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and bring him into the rebel base to see Optimus '''Prime'''. Later after it was discovered that Megatron was building a [[Nemesis (ROTF)|massive starship]] for some unknown purpose, Jazz was the one who suggested they should have their own ship as well, just in case. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} As part of a crowd of Autobots, he later watched from a distance as the Decepticon ship was launched. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} During the subsequent civil war, Jazz fought alongside Optimus Prime in their struggle for freedom, but as the war reached its height, Optimus decided to launch the AllSpark into space to keep it out of Lord Megatron's hands and to buy them time. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] was successful in diverting the Decepticon leader's attention at [[Tyger Pax]], but was grievously injured as a result. Jazz was part of the team that discovered him in the wreckage after the Decepticons had left. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}}

As the Autobots prepared to leave Cybertron to go after Megatron and the AllSpark, Optimus Prime expressed concern on if the remaining civilians and Autobots on Cybertron could hold out while they were gone. Jazz informed him that their troops were laying low, but if the Decepticons tried any mischief, they would be in for a nasty surprise. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}

===''Ghosts of Yesterday'' prequel novel===
Onboard the ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]'', Jazz was the first to detect the ''[[Ghost 1|Ghost 1's]]'' presence, and the first to point out that, despite the Cybertronian elements in its design, it did not originate from Cybertron. He was in favor of blowing it up anyway, as he agreed with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] that there was a chance it could be a Decepticon ruse. After [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] was sent to follow the ship down to a nearby planet, Ironhide and Optimus joked that Jazz would have made a poor scout.

When [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] mounted an attack on the ''Ark'', Jazz and Ironhide backed up Optimus. Jazz was unhappy when the plan changed, and the two Autobots were sent back to guard the ship, but they got to expel [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] from the hangar, and had the damage done repaired by the time Optimus returned. Jazz lost contact with Bumblebee, resulting in Optimus going down to the planet to check. While Optimus was gone, the Decepticons attacked once again, and Jazz came up with a new plan. Jazz kept the Decepticons distracted, while Ironhide attempted to approach the ''[[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]'' through a sensor blind-spot.

Unfortunately the plan was ruined by the return of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and Jazz suffered a large amount of damage. Ironhide got the smaller Autobot back to the ''Ark'', where Jazz was insistent that situation was bad enough that they should leave the area without Optimus and Bumblebee, as Prime has originally ordered. As it turned out, the two missing Autobots returned in time for it to not turn into an issue, and Optimus ordered another engagement. Despite his severe damage, Jazz was able to take out [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] and help Ironhide fight Bonecrusher. {{storylink|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

===Titan Magazines ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Jazz likes "to keep his bodywork ''buff''" by externalizing his [[Spark]] Core forcefield - in the past, that led to him almost being killed when [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] almost tore out his unprotected Spark. He only survived thanks to fellow Autobot [[Clocker (Movie)|Clocker]], who was killed covering his retreat. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 6|Lost In Space 4: Jazz}}

When the [[AllSpark]] was launched, Jazz, [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] attempted to distract Megatron from pursuing it. They ended up attacked by [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] and warped across space by a [[foldspace warhead]]. {{storylink|Prelude: Megatron}}

[[Image:JazzTitan06.JPG|left|250px|thumb|"I HAVE SEEN THE LORD!"]]

Jazz ended up on a planet that he dubbed "the Information Highway"—a constantly-morphing world with "the accumulated knowledge of countless alien cultures, condensed into some kind of sensory precipitation". He loved this world and the constant new experiences so much that he deliberately ignored Ratchet's homing beacon, wanting to stay here forever. However, the planet was alive and predatory, and ended up absorbing him into it - he fired off a warning buoy to stop others arriving, and only this led to Ratchet & Ironhide finding where he was and rescuing him. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 6|Lost In Space 4: Jazz}}

He doesn't like the war and, as the Information Highway incident shows, has no qualms about deserting if given the opportunity.

Because of a lack of troops on [[Earth]], Ratchet used a corrupted fragment of the AllSpark to bring Jazz back to life.<ref name="allsparkjazzbio"> '''AllSpark-Enhanced Autobot Jazz''' bio</ref> Happy to be back, Jazz blew off the suggestion that death had made any impact beyond him wanting to live every day as if it was his last, and he was dispatched with Ratchet to secure a raw energon field.

[[Image:JazzTitan21.JPG|right|250px|thumb|"And my sound effects are inane!"]]

Unfortunately, it turned out the corrupted fragment had indeed led to Jazz himself being corrupted; he paralyzed Ratchet and attempted to exploit Earth's apocalypse by selling the newly energon rich planet to the highest bidder. His auction was interrupted by [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], who rejected an offer to join forces, and attacked. Ratchet revived and managed to destroy the energon field the auction was being held in; Jazz escaped in the resulting confusion. {{storylink|Dark Spark}}

He later kept back as a happy hired gun for [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], out to murder Optimus Prime. He was prevented from this when the ''second'' hired gun, [[Kullt]], turned up; he realised Starscream didn't trust him to be able kill an old comrade and was so insulted he gunned down the other mercenary. He was left rattled when Optimus pointed out he could have let Kullt do the work for him and ''then'' gun him down, which suggested there was still some goodness in him. He drove off in the face of reinforcements, vowing to prove Optimus wrong next time. {{storylink|Hard Target}}

[[Image:Movie2007 Jazz dealership.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Why buy? When you can be!]]
Jazz was part of Optimus Prime's unit, summoned to Earth by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] after the latter Autobot came to be in the possession of [[Sam Witwicky]]. After his [[protoform]] crashed through a baseball stadium, he investigated a nearby car dealership and chose a Pontiac Solstice hardtop as his vehicle mode.

[[Image:Jazz movie ally.JPG|right|250px|thumb|Sadly, the other car's owner only had liability.]]

Linking up with his fellow Autobots in a deserted alley, Jazz greeted Sam and [[Mikaela Banes]] as "little bitches," stating that Earth seems to be a cool place to hang out. He casually sat on the hood of another car while Optimus Prime explained to Sam they learnt Earth's languages through the internet. He then relayed their mission to find the [[AllSpark]] and explained how his [[Archibald Witwicky|grandfather's]] glasses were the key to its location.

Soon after, as Sam looked for his grandfather's glasses, the Autobots attempted to assist by clumsily destroying the yard where they went. When it came to hide from [[Ronald Witwicky|the]] [[Judy Witwicky|parents]], Jazz had the easiest time blending into the shadows due to his small stature.

[[Image:Movie Jazz Sector Seven.JPG|thumb|left|250px|You'll get them back at the end of class.]]
When Sam and Mikaela were captured by [[Sector Seven]], the Autobots mounted a rescue that saw Optimus Prime tearing the roof off [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons's]] vehicle. When the agents attempted to resist, Jazz used a magnet to relieve the humans of their weapons. After Bumblebee was captured by Sector Seven during the retreat, Jazz expressed his desire to rescue him, but was overruled by Optimus Prime, who didn't believe it possible to accomplish this without harming the humans, and so they should let them go.

The next day, after Optimus used his navigation scanner on Archibald Witwicky's glasses, Jazz again commented that they could not leave Bumblebee to die at the hands of Sector Seven, to become a human experiment. Optimus replied that Bumblebee would die in vain if they did not find the AllSpark, and when Ironhide asked if the primitive and cruel humans deserved to be saved, Optimus countered by asking if Transformers were so different in the past. Going on to explain what he saw in the humans, Prime declared that if it came to it, he would sacrifice himself to destroy the AllSpark - the humans should not pay for Cybertron's mistakes. Inspired by his words, Jazz and the other Autobots rolled out, filled with determination.

[[Image:Movie Jazz on Brawl.JPG|right|250px|thumb|"Come on, Decepticon punk!" "MY MISSILE LAUNCHER! That's like a reproductive organ to me!"]]

On the way to [[Hoover Dam]], the Autobots encountered Bumblebee leading a column of Sector Seven assault vehicles. Jazz and his fellow Autobots applied brakes and did a hard u-turn to join the formation.

Entering [[Mission City]], the [[William Lennox|human]] [[Robert Epps|soldiers]] tried to call for air support from their own forces, only to be attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] disguised as a human F-22 fighter. Jazz, oddly, sat in vehicle mode after the explosion which crippled Bumblebee, destroying his legs. When [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] began shelling the battle site, Jazz led the Autobot charge toward the Decepticon, speeding to the tank in vehicle mode, then transformed and hopped on top of the turret to distract the Decepticon from the humans. As Devastator also transformed, Jazz managed to wreck his left-side rocket launcher pod before being tossed off. He then sped back to the battle, firing at Devastator, while [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] sliced of Devastator's left arm.

[[Image:Jazz DyingAction.jpg|left|250px|thumb|"Wait, why did I tell everyone to retreat again?"]]

Jazz tried to delay [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] when he appeared on the scene in order to cover the escape Captain Lennox's men and civilians. Despite Lennox's cries for him to fall back, Jazz bravely faced Megatron alone, but all he got for his trouble was being blasted by the Decepticon's fusion cannon. As Ironhide and Ratchet escorted Sam and the AllSpark to safety, Megatron preyed upon the small Autobot who had the audacity to attack him. The Decepticon leader tossed him through the air, then landed upon him with the crushing grip of his talons. Valiantly, Jazz fought on to the bitter end as Megatron tore him in two, throwing his pieces to the ground before attacking Optimus Prime.

[[Image:Movie Prime Jazz Ironhide Ratchet battleaftermath.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"We lost a great comrade today. We'll miss you, Blues." "His name was ''Jazz'', Prime." "Whatever."]]

After being separated from Sam Witwicky, Ratchet hurried to Jazz, but his [[spark]] had already faded. In the aftermath of Megatron's defeat, Ironhide somberly handed Optimus Prime Jazz's remains as Ratchet reported that he could not save their comrade. The Autobot leader somewhat half-heartedly eulogized him, and quickly moved on. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

Before coming to Earth, Jazz was involved in a deep-space battle over a barren world. He was badly damaged in the conflict and was taken offline by Brawl. After he was fixed up and upgraded his endoskeleton reinforcements, he had a renewed determination to keep his vehicle mode in pristine condition.<ref>'''Premium series''' bio</ref>

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Jazz was left badly damaged as a result of those confrontations.

{{note|Jazz's fate in the film is about as unambiguous a depiction of a [[Death|Transformer death]] as one could hope for.

Later, in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' prequel comic, Optimus Prime asked to have Jazz's remains buried. Despite all this, bio information on his Target-exclusive [[redeco]] clearly said that he was rebuilt by Ratchet. Make of this what you will.

[[Image:VGE4M3Jazzkabob.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Ironhide, check this out." "Cool, a piñata!" "...Hate...both of...you..."]]
Jazz arrived on Earth as part of Optimus Prime's unit, summoned to the [[human]] planet by Bumblebee. After taking on the form of a Pontiac Solstice, he met up with the other Autobots. His first mission was to distract Sector Seven and law enforcement units, which he did, buying his fellow Autobots time to escape. Jazz was then surrounded by Sector Seven SUVs and Decepticon drones numerous times, requiring Ironhide's help to escape.

He would then make his way to [[Mission City]], where he engaged [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and two [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] drones. Jazz defeated all four of them, but as he celebrated his great victory, [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] appeared behind him and punctured Jazz's chest with his claw, extinguishing his [[spark]]. [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] arrived just in time to witness the killing, swore he'd make Brawl's death slow, and fought through a horde of Decepticon units to destroy him. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game}}

====Decepticon campaign====
Jazz arrived in Mission City with Sam and Mikaela (taking the role of the destroyed Bumblebee), where he was confronted by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

===''Transformers: Autobots''===
Jazz's first appearance is with the other Autobots, meeting in an old junk yard. Setting out into the city, he retrieved a number of [[Sector Seven]] vehicles before running into [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]; after a tedious battle, Blackout ran. Returning to the group, Jazz informs that Sector Seven holds Megatron and the AllSpark in the Hoover Dam and has patrols looking for the Autobots, which Bumblebee volunteered to distract them, getting himself caught in the progress. Jazz later upload a virus to access Sector Seven mainframe, and downloaded data from a military hangar. Jazz was able to get the data, despite being outnumbered by remote vehicles, returned to the rendezvous point, which he reported that he was able to find an entrance to the base and Bumblebee, but could not find Megatron and the AllSpark. Jazz tells Optimus that rescuing Bumblebee be their first priority because of Bumblebee's tracking ability, which Optimus agrees. When the Autobots returned to Tranquility with the AllSpark, Jazz required assistance to take out spark drones within the area. Create-A-Bot answered the call and both Autobots took out 50 drones. With the drones destroyed, Jazz stayed where he was in case more show up and told Create-A-Bot to check on Bumblebee. After that, he was not seen again. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Autobots}}

===''Transformers: Decepticons''===
At the [[Hoover Dam]], Jazz set up several automated turrets and Autobot drones around the lower perimeter of the Dam, preventing [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] from escaping. However, this line of defense only works for so long, as the turrets could only fire at air-borne objects. Finally getting up the side of the Dam, Jazz stepped in Megatron's path, doing little more than trash talking before Megatron jumped into battle. After a roughly equal fight, Jazz finally fell. Megatron then finished him off and desecrated the Autobot's corpse. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Autobots}}

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Jazz'''

:A much smaller version of the character, [[Legends Class|Legends-class]] Jazz features limited articulation and detail, along with a much simpler transformation. A rather glaring side-effect of this simplicity, in a desire to mimic the hood chest of the larger toy, is the addition of [[kibble]]: a second front bumper on the roof of his alt-mode. Whether this means Jazz also includes a second engine to go with this front bumper or an attempt at compensation for a case of [[Barricade (Movie)|police car envy]] is unknown. Ironically, the smallest version of Jazz is the biggest Legends toy in the movie line. Even bigger than Optimus. This may make up for the Arcee toy being taller than his Deluxe figure.

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Runamuck (ROTF)|Runamuck]].

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-04'''
**''Accessories'' Telescoping "sword" (rifle)

:Jazz transforms into a silver [[wikipedia:Pontiac_Solstice|Pontiac Solstice]] Custom Hardtop. Included is a blaster weapon that elongates into a sniper rifle, which may also be clipped directly onto his rear spoiler when in vehicle mode. In robot mode, the section featuring this same rear spoiler may be kept folded onto his back or worn on either shoulder as a shield. An interesting undocumented feature is a hinge joint located on the bottom of the rifle can attach to the ''shield's'' hinge joint, creating three choice weapon configurations: ''(a)'' a mounted long range sniper rifle, ''(b)'' an ambidextrous shoulder-mounted cannon, or ''(c)'' a short range blaster with built-in shield somewhat akin to what has been seen in Jazz's concept art and in the movie itself.

:As with most of the mainline toys, he features a [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmick that is activated by pushing the car roof down onto his back and locking it into place. This raises his head and slides his chest panels into proper position for the robot mode. This feature, like the weaponry mentioned above, is not documented at all, so one must be careful to not press the chest ''and'' the back at the same time.

:This toy was later redecoed into ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]].

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Target Exclusive Deluxe, 2007)
**''Accessories'' Telescoping "sword" (rifle)

:An extensive [[redeco]] of Deluxe class Jazz, this Target-[[exclusive]] is heavily based on ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz's]] Martini Racing scheme. He's lacking in Martini sponsorship for all the obvious reasons, replacing them with his own name. Disco Jazz doesn't really need to advertise, but he does.

:This figure also features a minor retool of the joint in the forearm. On the initial, mass retail release of Deluxe Jazz, the black hinge-joint was able to slide over slightly as part of the original design. The new version features a shorter joint, which makes it a lot less floppy in robot mode. [[Cyberfly|Cyberflies]] sold separately.

*'''Final Battle Jazz''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-14'''
**''Accessories:'' "Crescent Cannon", energy-blast missile

:An extensive retool of Jazz, modifying his head and most of his legs to give them a broken, battle-scarred appearance. Amusingly, because Hasbro chose to keep his vehicle mode pristine, the rest of his body is undamaged. All the damaged parts have a black and blue deco, representing glowing circuitry and exposed conduits.

:Jazz comes with a brand new spring-loaded weapon (called a ''Crescent Cannon'' on the packaging), partially modeled after the actual weapon Jazz appears with in the film. It can fire a transparent blue projectile and, not unlike his original featured weapon, can be mounted in different configurations: ''(a)'' Mounted on his ''right'' arm with the Crescent Cannon missile launcher (with the crescent up) facing forward a la the film, or ''(b)'' mounted on his ''left'' arm with the flip-out rifle barrel pointed forwards (with the crescent down). The cannon can actually be rotated on the connecting peg, allowing the gun to be mounted in either configuration on either arm.

:Unusual for a regular Deluxe class figure, this version of Jazz is packaged on his card in robot mode, no doubt to highlight the changes to the figure that would not be visible in the vehicle mode.

:In addition to the retooled forearm joint also found on the Target exclusive "G1 color" Jazz, a running change variant of Final Battle Jazz adds another peg to the Crescent Cannon, thus allowing Jazz to use the weapon in all the different configurations on either arm.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=40291 Original Allspark thread about the running change mold variant for Final Battle Jazz's Crescent Cannon]</ref>

:In spite of the claim that this is a "final battle" version of Jazz, his torso does not separate easily from his legs.

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Deluxe Class "Premium Series", 2008)
**''Accessories'' Telescoping "sword" (rifle)

:This more movie-accurate version of Jazz sports a shinier coat of silver paint, along with added paint application detail to his robot mode parts. As it is a straight redeco, despite his coloration being far closer to the movie model, his weapon is still the old preliminary-art "sword" rather than the [[#FinalBattle|"Final Battle" version's]] much more screen-accurate shield/cannon (which is [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] with the battle damaged parts).

:A Target exclusive two-pack that pits an unchanged Deluxe Class Final Battle Jazz (but simply named "Autobot Jazz" for this release) with a beige, brown, and on-fire orange version of Voyager Class [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] in reference to their battle on the top of a skyscraper in the film that was, in fact, Jazz's final battle.

*'''Ion Blast Autobot Jazz''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Energy-blast missile

:Though larger than the standard [[#Deluxe_Class_toys|Deluxe class Jazz]], [[Fast Action Battlers]] "Ion Blast" Jazz is a simplified toy for the younger set with comparatively few parts and detailing. In vehicle mode he's kind of a squat and cutified Pontiac Solstice. His articulation is limited to his shoulders, hips and knees, and has a spring-loaded missile launcher in place of his left hand.

:This toy was later redecoed into [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Sonic Shock Smokescreen]].

:[[Cyber Slammers]] Jazz is an amazingly cute Pontiac Solstice that transforms into an amazingly cute Autobot hipster. "Slam" his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along, slowly transforming back up into robot mode. Like most Cyber Slammers, Jazz manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Robot Replica, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' "Crescent cannon" rifle/shield, alternate left & right forearms

:As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] line, this version of Jazz is a non-transforming action figure that utilizes [[Revoltech]]-style jointing. The sculpt hews much closer to the movie CGI model than is possible with the full transforming toys, plus the universal jointing of the line allows for his forearm to be replaced with the included Crescent Cannon (which is also called that on the toy's packaging), or parts from other Robot Replica figures. Jazz's shoulders are actually mounted on the wrong sides of the toy as compared to the [[Transformers (2007)|Movie's]] CG design, but can easily swapped due to the toy's body construction.

[[Image:Movie TitaniumRM Jazz.jpg|right|200px|thumb|"Are you looking at me?"]]
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (3" Robot Masters, 2007)
*''Accessories'' Movie-style Autobot sigil display stand

:''[[Titanium Series]]'' Jazz is a die-cast metal and plastic figurine, with an accurate sculpt based on the slender CG model owing to the fact he doesn't need to transform. Being a figurine, he only has articulation in his shoulders, neck and waist. Jazz is sculpted with a small handgun that was only featured in concept art early in film development that still showed Arcee as part of the main cast. Jazz comes with a Movie-style Autobot symbol display stand, as is expected.

:This mold was also used to make the [[Toys"R"Us]]-exclusive ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Titanium Series [[Dead End (ROTF)|Dead End]].

====Human Alliance====
[[Image:TF2010 HumanAlliance Jazz&Lennox.jpg|thumb|right|300px| Hasbro DOES listen to the fans!]]
*'''Autobot Jazz / Captain Lennox''' ( Human Alliance 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-32'''
**''Accessories:'' Motorcycle/"Shielded blaster", missile

: [[Human Alliance]] Jazz comes with [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]], who can interact with him in various ways.

: Firstly, a motorcycle and a missile is included, with the missile being stored by plugging it to the side of the motorcycle, acting as an exhaust pipe, although it detaches easily. The motorcycle can also be transformed into a spring-loaded, projectile-firing "Shielded blaster" resembling Jazz's Crescent Cannon and attached to his arm. Lennox can ride the motorcycle in either mode, with a different set of handlebars to grip in each mode.

: As usual, Lennox (or any other Human Alliance figure) can be seated inside Jazz in vehicle mode. In robot mode, the seats become his feet, which Lennox can still sit on. The leg panels near his feet each feature a small, flip-out, double-barreled weapon at the tip which, when the panels are flipped down, provide Lennox with an over-the-shoulder restraint with guns attached.

: Finally, Jazz has a switch on the back of his head that flips his visor up and down, giving us a rare glimpse of his sculpted eyes. Unfortunately, it is painted the same bronze color as most of his face, so you might have to squint to see them.

: The Japanese release sees the transparent blue plastic used for the windows and the visor switched for clear plastic on the windows and orange for the visor.

: Despite his small vehicle mode, he's actually quite tall for a Human Alliance figure, being roughly as tall as Barricade at the head. He's also quite decked out in [[paint operation]]s, being slathered in silver paint, with a bit of bronze and gold to boot.

: His packaging [[stock photography]] shows him minimally mis-transformed, with his front grille left unrotated. His [[instructions]] also haphazardly tell you to pull the hood up and out ''before'' you detach and pull his front wheels/shoulders apart, a feat which is ''excruciatingly'' hard to accomplish. It is actually ''much'' easier to pull the hood ''after'', when the small tabs on the hood aren't locked to the wheels/shoulders on the sides.

: Captain Lennox uses a more simplified design than other Human Alliance figures, with the waist and wrist joints omitted, meaning that he is unable to grip the horizontal handle on the shoulder cannon with his vertically-aligned hands.

**''Accessories:'' Telescoping "sword" (rifle)

:A [[Target]]-[[exclusive]] redeco of the original Autobot Jazz mold, with the original tooling of hinge joints between the folding car hood plates that form the forearms. He is cast in smokey grey translucent plastic and features black [[Cyberglyphics]]. His weapon is cast in opaque grey with copperish telescoping lance.

:He comes with a comic book by [[IDW Publishing]], ''[[Transformers: Jazz]]''.

: Jazz is a 37-point "Rare" piece in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]. Constructed of punch-out pieces from plastic cards, he can be assembled into his sports car or robot mode. He uses the same construction as the [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]], [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]], [[Blurr (Armada)|''Armada'' Blurr]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)|Generation 1 Hot Rod]] cards.

*'''Autobot Ratchet and Autobot Jazz''' (2008)

:The Ratchet and Jazz turnaround is a 3D sculpture of the two characters, both in robot mode, emerging from rubble and explosions, with a movie-accurate sculpt (compared to the various transforming toys). The "turnaround" aspect of these sculptures simply means one can turn the piece around to display a raised-relief of the movie-style Autobot sigil instead.

:This product's release was canceled for the US market, but was released in Central America, Australia and in Asia.

:Released by [[Tomy Yujin]] in November 2007<ref name="TomyYujin">[http://www.gachausa.com/products/transformers.asp Tomy Yujin ''Transformers'' page]</ref> as part of the [[Danglers Collection]], this toy is a weird plastic [[super-deformed]] version of Jazz that pops out his vehicle mode when you squeeze him, kinda like he's either giving birth to it or...er, excreting it. Classy. This little figurine has a little strap on it so that it can be put on cell phones or portable gaming devices.

*'''Protoform Jazz vs. Decepticon Brawl''' (2007)

:This ''Robot Heroes'' pack features a cutely murderous figurine of Brawl, and Jazz in his "[[Protoform]]" mode. Considering the generic nature of the protoforms, Protoform Jazz can easily represent any of his other three companions who crash landed to Earth. Like many Robot Heroes, he's jointed at the shoulders and neck.

[[Image:Robotheroesfinalbattle.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Hi, then die.]]
*'''The Final Battle''' (2008)

: Packaged with Autobot Ratchet, Megatron, Blackout, and Optimus Prime, "Battle Damage" Jazz is a slightly redecoed version of the first two pack version. His exclusive deco involves a black paint wash and black-lined cracks over a shiny silver painted finish. The Final Battle 5-pack was sold exclusively in Wal-Mart stores.

[[Image:Robotheroesjazzmegatron.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Okay, this is getting ridiculous.]]
*'''Battle Jazz vs. Megatron''' (2008)

:Once again the first Jazz sculpt is given a battle damage deco. This time black cracks and starbursts are painted over dull unpainted silver plastic.
{{-}}

==Notes==
[[Image:Movie Jazz armswordconcept.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Cool melee weapon in the game, totally non-existent in the movie.]]
* The packaging text for the Deluxe Jazz figure refers to his weapon as a "telescoping sword". As ridiculous as this sounds, considering this weapon ''looks'' like a firearm and can attach to his spoiler in vehicle mode as such, this very idea actually comes from concept drawings of a sword weapon featured on the same concept art that also had Jazz showcasing the short range blaster/shield thingy both featured in the film and included with his Final Battle retool. So, ''really''...not that ridiculous anymore.

* According to a press kit sent out in conjunction with the movie, Jazz has a "near-perfect recordable memory that makes him invaluable as a documenter of battles" and is "equipped with a fusion engine that allows him to reach sub-light speeds in vehicle mode." [http://numberonestars.com/transformers/production/autobots.htm] One, uh, would ''hope'' a Pontiac Solstice would be travelling at ''sub''-light speeds...

* During the final battle in [[Mission City]], there's a long period during which Jazz is not doing ''anything''. He's standing around in vehicle mode when Ironhide notices that the F-22 flying above the city is Starscream, stays in vehicle mode when Ironhide and Bumblebee pick up a Furby delivery truck for cover, ''still'' remains in vehicle mode when Starscream blasts them, and after Sam discovers that Bumblebee has lost his legs, all Jazz does is pull back for a few feet to give Bumblebee space to crawl. In the end, Jazz doesn't really join the battle ''at all'' until Brawl shows up.

[[Image:MovieJazzBarricadeLicensePlates.jpg|thumb|180px|right|Hey, who gave me Barricade's license plate?]]
* In an earlier draft of the movie script, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] was supposed to "consume" the sparks of Autobots he killed. A remainder of this can be found in the novelization and the IDW comic adaptation of the movie, which both explicitly state that Megatron tears out Jazz's spark. In the movie itself, however, Megatron simply appears to kill Jazz by ripping him apart at the waist, even though [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] was previously able to survive as a detached head. However, a recent rejiggering of Frenzy's biology makes this a moot point.

*Jazz's manner of speech is a late development. In the early script draft his first line in the film is simply saying "Greetings" to the humans.

* Though it is very brief, Jazz does indeed get a face close-up during the Mission City battle when he is shot by Megatron and falls over in pain, before he is ripped in half.

* The Pontiac Solstice prop car used for the movie sports the [[license plate]] "664 NLZO", without a state-specific registration. Although barely identifiable during his transformation before his fight with [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]], the car on display at GM Riverwalk in Detroit in June 2007 sported the same plate.<ref name="jazzgmriv">[http://www.flickr.com/photos/jalopnik/592023523/ Pontiac Solstice prop car on display at GM Riverfront in Detroit in June 2007], Jalopnik photo at Flickr</ref> His robot CG model sports the license plate "1-4027E" instead... which also happens to be [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]'s license plate in vehicle mode. The license plate can be briefly glimpsed in the movie when Barricade slows down after having seemingly cornered Bumblebee, but is more clearly seen in set photos.

* In an appeal to his better nature in [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Titan]], Optimus said part of him was "still Autobot Jazz", a reference to the name of the Jazz toys.

* Jazz was included in the downloadable content for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the Revenge of the Fallen game. Apparently over-compensating for not being in the movie, Jazz is pretty much the most dangerous robot ever. If you play against him, just run.

* In both of his console game appearances for the [[Transformers The Game (console)|first movie game]] and [[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|the second]], Jazz was not seen wearing his iconic visor.

* Jazz is killed by three completely different Decepticons. He's killed by Megatron in the movie, while [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] is the one that kills the Autobot in the Autobot campaign and a [[Barricade (Movie)|fake law enforcer]] kills him in the Decepticon campaign in the Transformers 2007 video game.

'''[[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]''' has enough toys to afford several new cannons.

*'''Ironhide Vs. Desert Blackout''' (Legends "Allspark Battles" two-pack, 2008)

: An all-new Ironhide tooling that packs considerable accuracy into his small, simple design. Unlike the Voyager class toy, Legends Ironhide stores his cannons in the truck's bed. He comes with a desert scheme redeco of Legends class [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]].

: Amusingly, this version of Ironhide is one of only two American toy releases that has full-length exhaust stacks. Also, there are many complaints about the fists sticking out of the back of the truck and the weird truck proportions.

*'''Ironhide''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MA-09'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Ironhide transforms into a modified black 2006 [[wikipedia:GMC Topkick|GMC Topkick]] 4500 four-wheel drive pickup truck. Although Hasbro's official stock photos and early packaged [[Prototype|samples]] featured two real-life accurate full length exhaust smokestacks behind the rear cabin, they have been slightly shortened for [[For safety reasons|safety]] and durability reasons for the actual release of the toy. Otherwise, however, the vehicle mode is very accurate to the real prop truck... well, aside from the fact that Ironhide's massive missile launchers are quite visible underneath the vehicle. Despite rumors to the contrary, TakaraTomy's Japanese release of the toy features the same shortened smokestacks as the Hasbro version.

:Ironhide features an [[Automorph]] gimmick in his legs during transformation: As the user swings down his feet, all of the panels that make up his legs automatically shift and fold into place. This gimmick does not affect Ironhide's articulation. Confusingly, the instructions omit the exact positioning of the roof panels and rear window on his back, though they can fold into a compact design for maximum articulation.

:In robot mode,his arm-mounted cannons are inactive while mounted on both arms. However, detaching the left arm cannon and combining it with the right arm creates a '''huge''' functional missile launcher that is almost as big as Ironhide himself. The missile-launching mechanism itself isn't the typical spring-loaded button design, instead relying on a pressure-launch system to fire the missiles from the four barrels.

:The peg that holds his windshield is prone to cracking, which makes it become loose, and might even result in breakage.

*'''Offroad Ironhide''' (Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Released as part of the "Allspark Power" refresh of the Movie toyline, Offroad Ironhide is a fairly extensive redeco of Voyager class Ironhide in colors reminiscent of the ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[Motormouth]]. As he's now made of several colors of plastic, he's no longer the most monochromatic toy in the 2007 ''Movie'' line.

**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Premium Ironhide is a redeco of the previous released Voyager class Ironhide, painted in a gloss black finish, silver trim on his smokestacks, Road Armor winch and side turn signal detailing, but with them are several inaccurate deco additions including silver detailing to the rims, frosted windows, silver paint on the roof ridges and a large Autobot sigil tampographed onto the hood.

:In robot mode Ironhide is considerably more accurate with gold and gunmetal detailing colors which were missing from the first Voyager release. His large cannons are now molded in mostly black plastic, then painted metallic teal with gold detailing.

*'''Cannon Blast Ironhide''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 1 missile

:Part of the [[Fast Action Battlers]] line, "Cannon Blast" Ironhide is a simpler version of the larger toy, geared more towards the younger set who might find the big toy too complicated to transform. He still transforms into the customized GMC Topkick. He features a spring-loaded missile launcher in his left cannon. But, thanks to the simpler transformation, the hood and wheels trap his arms below the wheel. He can't punch or aim his cannon at all, and the elbows have no articulation but swiveling that knocks the arm off his body.

**''Accessories:'' 1 missiles

:A redeco of the Fast Action Battler Ironhide, this version sports a silver and blue color scheme that is both a reversal of the "Offroad" Ironhide Voyager figure... and seemingly an [[homage]] to the [[:Image:G2Gobot_Ironhide.jpg|''Generation 2'' Go-Bots version]] of his ''[[Generation 1]]'' [[Ironhide (G1)|counterpart]], a redeco of Motormouth (see above).

'Slam' his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along, slowly transforming back up into robot mode. Like most Cyber Slammers, Ironhide manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode. Interestingly enough, this is the only pre-Revenge of the Fallen merchandise to feature Ironhide's scarred right eye.

*'''Ironhide''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher cannon, energy cannon, projectile

: ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager class Ironhide is a retool of the toy from the 2007 ''Transformers'' movie line. The original arm cannons have been replaced by new, more accurate (and less [[Gimmick|gimmicky]]) cannons that can be connected together and mounted on top of Ironhide's truck bed cover. The truck bed cover and arm mountings for this Ironhide's cannons are unchanged from the 2007 movie line voyagers. So any voyager Ironhide can carry and use both the original and new weapons. The large cannon features screwdriving firing action in which the barrel section twists forward before firing the missile. The small cannon can retract its barrel and has a 5mm hole on its underside that allows it to plug into the peg on the large cannon like a scope if so desired. The smaller cannon can also be swung down flush with the barrel of the larger cannon, evoking the giant missile launcher combo from the 2007 mold. Since the weapons can connect to each other, the figure (and all other uses of this mold) can hold these and the combined 2007 cannons at once. All four cannons can fit on his truck mode as well, the old ones underneath and the new ones on top. Ironhide's head has been replaced with a more accurate, asymmetrical head. Ironhide also features a new grey colour scheme with some red pin stripes and a [[NEST]] logo on each of his doors.

: According to the box pictures and instructions, the small cannon is misassembled. The gray sliding shaft is actually reversed from the direction it is supposed to be facing. This doesn't affect anything, but can be easily fixed by loosening the screws on the black outer section, sliding out the shaft, then turning it around and putting it back in.

: A packaging variant determines whether the missile is loaded or unloaded in the box.

[[Image:ROTFtoy-JungleAttackIronhideVoyager.jpg|right|thumb|300px|John Rambot.]]

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-26'''
**''Accessories:'' Assault rifle, mini-gun, knife A, knife B, bullbar/crossbow, cannon, spring-loaded cannon/crossbow, projectile

:Recon Ironhide is an extensive retool, replacing his doors with military Humvee-style armoured door panels, adding a roof/truck bed-mounted lighting rig/weapons rack and replacing his Road Armor fender with a massive bullbar that can be removed and combined with his spring-loaded cannon to form a crossbow weapon. Ironhide's traditional arm-mounted weapons have been replaced with the aforementioned spring-loaded cannon, a smaller static version of his right-arm mounted cannon, an assault rifle, a mini-gun, and two combat knives, one being short and serrated, the other being long and straight-edged.

:In one of the first intentional uses of the [[C joint]] system (if not ''the'' first), either knife can be attached to the front of the rifle to act as a bayonet, and the rifles and knives can be attached to his various bars and rails. The rifle and mini-gun can be pegged to the sides of his arm mounted cannons, and they can also peg into the main barrel of his static arm cannon.

:Think he's armed enough yet? Additionally, this retool of Ironhide includes a new head-sculpt featuring his battle mask.

:In an unfortunate change, possibly [[For safety reasons|for durability reasons]], all of Ironhide's (newly-tooled) windows are now cast in opaque plastic, compared to the translucent plastic seen on previous versions of this toy.

*'''Desert Decimation''' (Legends multi-pack, 2010)

:A redeco of 2008 Legends Ironhide featuring metallic sand deco. He was only available in the [[market six]]-[[exclusive]] "[[Desert Decimation]]" 4-pack together with [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], [[Brawl (Movie)|Decepticon Brawl]], and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]].

*'''Ironhide''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Weapon pod

:A new-sculpt Deluxe-sized figure of Ironhide, with an almost ridiculously [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] (and surprisingly stable) robot mode. His smokestacks are of the long variety. The toy comes with a transforming weapon accessory, his missile turret from the [[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video game]]. Sadly, this goes at the expense of a movie-accurate cannon for the left arm. The turret can stay attached to his arm when transforming back to his vehicle mode, thanks to a hard to notice joint on the other arm's cannon flipping open to allow more room, ensuring no chance of losing this accessory. In an undocumented feature, the turret can also attach to the back of Ironhide's vehicle mode by slotting two of its legs into two small holes on the truck bed, the third leg can them be positioned forward and slot into a groove on the back of the cab. This can be quite difficult however if (in another undocumented feature) you do not fully extend the turret's legs which are attached to a black piece which allows all 3 legs to fold down further than just pulling each one out individually; this allows for a greater range of movement and allows the turret to be aimed upwards. Interestingly, his hands can hold 5mm weapons, which means he can use Recon Ironhide's or Mechtech weapons.

{{picsneeded|Japanese version}}

:The [[TakaraTomy]] ''Autobot Alliance'' release of this figure features a significant colouring change: Where Hasbro's release cast much of Ironhide's legs, feet, hands, shoulders and some joints in a bright gunmetal colour, TakaraTomy's uses dark grey plastic.

:Unfortunately, his arms don’t swing out far enough in robot mode, limiting his pose ability somewhat.

*'''Ironhide''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA04'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Booster/Particle Cannon

:''[[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Voyager class Ironhide is an all-new mold that is smaller, but more accurate, than previous Voyager class Ironhide toys. He comes with a large [[MechTech]] "Booster" that converts into a "Particle Cannon" by extending and spinning its barrels when the back is pressed. Twisting the knob at the back of the weapon when it is fully extended will lock it into place. The Booster/Particle Cannon (or any other MechTech weapon) can be attached to Ironhide via [[5mm post]] MechTech ports on either side and on top of Ironhide's vehicle mode, as well as being held in his fists or mounted under his forearms via MechTech ports in robot mode. Additionally, the Booster/Particle Cannon itself features a Mechtech port on its housing. The cannons and weapons included with the previous Voyager class Ironhide toys can also be used with this figure.

:He also has an [[Automorph]] gimmick on his vehicle front end/chest, wherein pushing it automatically deforms both halves of the front end into his chest, and pulling it reforms it back to the vehicle front end.

:The [[stock photo]] on the right has him mis-transformed. The vehicle mode kibble on his left leg has not been pegged in, his feet are backwards, and the tailgate pieces, normally folded into the soles of his feet, are left flipped out and sticking out from the back.

:The Japanese release comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

*'''Cannon Force Ironhide''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Booster/Particle Cannon
:Cannon Force Ironhide is a redeco of Dark of the Moon Voyager class Ironhide in a G1-inspired color scheme, with most of his black parts being cast in red. His deco consists of the upper half of his vehicle being red and his lower half being painted a matte black, with an orange stripe running in-between. His Mechtech weapon has been redecoed as well, with a cooler shade of gray for the housing, and black for the main cannon body.

====Leader Class toys====
[[Image:DOTM-Leader-Class-Ironhide.jpg|thumb|300px|Oh for god's sake, it's where you left it, 'hide.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Mechtech Leader, 2011)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''DA16'''
**''Accessories:'' Knife, leg-mounted removable spring-loaded cannon, one projectile

:This version of Ironhide is his first [[Size class|Leader Class]] toy and features all sorts of weaponry and other [[gimmick]]s.

:His main gimmick is his chest-mounted Cybertronian Blitz Cannon, which is activated when either the license plate panel (used as a lever) on his abdomen is flipped and pushed down (similarly to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys 2|the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class Optimus Prime toy]]), or when a tall gray piece on the back-right of his head is pressed down. Two flaps on his abdomen open up, and a back-lit spinning cannon is deployed, lighting up his eyes as well as playing a rapid-fire shooting sound until the button is released, in which the cannon retracts back into his innards and a winding/powering-down sound is played.

:Ironhide's other lights and sounds gimmick is related to his head: when either the button on his chest or the lever on the back of his head are used, his [[mouthplate]] moves down, his eyes flash green and says the following the phrases, "Ironhide, here" and "Weapons ready". He also features cannons mounted on his arms/roof that pop out and deploy when each respective smokestack is pulled, and can be used in either vehicle or robot mode. There is also a small button behind the cabin that emits a (rather vague) sound of the vehicle driving and firing its cannons/ramming through obstacles when it is pressed. If the button is held down further, additional driving and engine revving sounds are emitted.

:Lastly, Ironhide has two weapons hidden in each of his legs. Opening the side of his left leg reveals and pops up a removable knife, whereas opening his right leg deploys a detachable spring-loaded cannon, either of which he can wield.

:Some units have the spring pushed and compressed too far back into the launcher, preventing the projectile from even shooting out. This ''can'' be fixed, but pulling and stretching the small spring further out while it is in the launcher may be rather difficult.

:The two of his hood halves also frequently detach from the ball joints they are mounted on during transformation, quite possibly [[for safety reasons]].

:Despite being advertised as a MechTech figure, Leader class Ironhide's gimmicks are almost entirely unrelated to the interchangeable, spring-loaded MechTech weapons seen on most of the other ''Dark of the Moon'' MechTech toys. Besides his fists, the only two 5mm post/MechTech ports on Ironhide are the ones on the hood halves above his shoulders, which can only be accessed in robot mode.

:His box mentions "Automatic conversion sounds", yet no such sound plays during transformation. Additionally, he is mis-transformed in his stock photography, as his vehicle front-end chest is not connected to his [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux-bumper]] grille, nor are the wheels angled into his chest.

:The Japanese release comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his arm cannons for the MechTech Wars online game, even though his arm cannons aren't actually MechTech weapons in the sense that they are removable weapons that can be given to other characters.

Among the items on the list were "Transformers Combiners and Speed Star Mini-Vehicle" and "Transformers Activator and Speed Star Mini-Vehicle." According to [http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=75487 this discussion thread on Allspark.com], Speed Stars Metal Heroes Ironhide was one of the figures distributed.

:As reported at [http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=121589 Edmunds], [http://www.monroetruck.com/index.asp Monroe Truck Equipment], in association with Hasbro, released a GMC TopKick 4500 Ironhide special edition featuring most of the modifications made to the Ironhide vehicle props used in the movie, with the only difference being that the truck will retain its stock orange running lights (the movie used blue) and the large stock sideview mirrors.

:Sadly, installing a grumpy trigger-happy alien robot and deadly high-tech weaponry into the works is not part of the included modifications. Production on the GMC Topkick truck ceased when General Motors exited the medium-duty truck market in 2009.
