[[Image:Jaguarbreast_cartoon.jpg|right|thumb|250px|"I wish I were Ravage. No one ever makes fun of *his* name!"]]

'''Jaguarbreast''' is the [[Breast Animal]] partner of [[Jarugar]]. Savage and cruel, it will happily obey his every command. Jaguarbreast transforms from Jarugar's breastplate into both a mechanical jaguar and the handheld "Jaguar Cannon" blaster.

==Fiction==
===''Victory'' cartoon===
[[Image:Jaguarbreast_bite.jpg|left|thumb|]]
Jaguarbreast was first deployed for battle on [[Earth]] when the [[Breastforce]] took over the Neo Uranium Mines, where it savaged [[Laster]] and [[Braver]] alongside [[Bisonbreast]]. {{storylink|Infiltration... The Uranium Mine}}

[[Image:Jaguarbreast_gunmode.jpg|right|thumb|Who's laughing NOW?!]]

Following this early battle, Jaguarbreast engaged in a series of clashes with the [[Autobot]] commander, [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]], regularly teaming up with the other Breast Animals to dogpile on him. In their first meeting, sooner after the arrival of [[Hellbat]] on Earth, Jaguarbreast was able to tear off some of the Autobot leader’s armor with its powerful fangs, {{storylink|The New Warrior - Hellbat}} but didn’t fare so well during conflicts in [[Marine City]] {{storylink|Tanker Hijack Operation}} and in the depths of the asteroid belt. {{storylink|A Fierce Battle!! The Asteroid}}

Soon after the asteroid plot, the Breastforce added [[Gaihawk]] to the team, {{storylink|Rescue! Gaihawk}} gaining the ability to combine into the giant robot, [[Liokaiser]]. {{storylink|Unite! Liokaiser}} With this new power in their arsenal, the Breastforce came to rely on their Breast Animals less, and Jarugar was not seen to deploy the Jaguarbreast again.

[[Image:Hawkbreast_cartoon.jpg|right|225px|thumb|SQUAWK! Polly wanna less embarassing name!]]

'''Hawkbreast''' is the [[Breast Animal]] partner of [[Gaihawk]]. Savage and cruel, it will happily obey his every command. Hawkbreast transforms from Gaihawk's breastplate into both a mechanical hawk and the handheld "Hawk Cannon" blaster.

==Fiction==
===''Victory'' cartoon===
[[Image:Hawkbreast_gunmode.jpg|left|125px|thumb]]
When Gaihawk was incarcerated at the Planet Micro Satellite Penitentiary, the Hawkbreast was separated from him and imprisoned in a small metal birdcage, which was—perhaps unwisely—also kept at the prison. When Gaihawk was sprung by his fellow Breastforce warriors, he recharged his energy using the prison's power supply, and used his "Ice Needle" technique to blast the Hawkbreast free of its bonds. The Hawkbreast promptly transformed to blaster mode for Gaihawk to wield in battle against [[Greatshot]]. {{storylink|Rescue! Gaihawk}}

Alas, the Hawkbreast never got a chance to shine in a robot mode battle, as the addition of Gaihawk to the Breastforce ranks meant that the team preferred to take to the battlefield in their combined form of [[Liokaiser]], leaving the Hawkbreast and the other Breast Animals sidelined. While some of the team's other Breast Animals were offered a chance to mix it up with the Autobots in later battles, the Hawkbreast was only ever seen again being wielded in gun mode by Gaihawk.

[[Image:Lionbreast cartoon.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Publicity still for his [[Visionaries]] audition.]]
'''Lionbreast''' is the [[Breast Animal]] partner of the team's leader, [[Leozack]]. Savage and cruel, it will happily obey his every command. Lionbreast transforms from Leozack's breastplate into both a mechanical lion and the handheld "Leo Cannon" blaster.

==Fiction==

[[Image:Leozack and lionbreast.jpg|left|220px|thumb|Energon: Cat-bots ask for it by name.]]
When Leozack and the [[Dinoforce]] attacked [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]] on [[Jean Minakaze]]'s first day of school, the Lionbreast grappled with [[Holi]]. {{storylink|Attack! Leozack}}

Later, [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]] decided to exploit the diminutive stature of the Lionbreast and the other Breast Animals, luring the [[Autobot|Autobots]] into an American subway system, where the cramped quarters put them at the mercy of the ferocious creatures. [[Blacker]] wound up tangling with Leozack, the Lionbreast and [[Killbison]]'s [[Bisonbreast]], but was able to hold his own until the villains called retreat. {{storylink|Big City - Underground Terror}}

In a battle that took place shortly after [[Hellbat]] arrived to join the Breastforce on Earth, Lionbreast and the other Breast Animals were all unleashed upon Star Saber in midair and successfully caused him to crash. {{storylink|The New Warrior - Hellbat}} Soon afterward, when Leozack and Hellbat attempted to steal energy from a Nevada shuttleport, the Lionbreast savaged [[Machtackle]]. {{storylink|Attack the Shuttle Base!!}}

[[Image:Lionbreast blaster mode.jpg|right|220px|thumb|]]

When the Breastforce threatened [[Marine City]] with a neutron bomb, the Autobots attempted to stop them. Star Saber knocked the remote control for the bomb from Leozack's hand, but before he could grab it himself, the team's Breast Animals pounced upon him, and the Lionbreast recovered the remote for its master. Fortunately, the bomb had been disarmed by [[Braver]]. {{storylink|Tanker Hijack Operation|Tanker Hijack Operation}} Not long after, Lionbreast and the Breast Animals faced off against Star Saber once more during a battle in the asteroid belt, but were scattered by a barrage of fire from [[Galaxy Shuttle]]. {{storylink|A Fierce Battle!! The Asteroid}}

With the addition of [[Gaihawk]] to the Breastforce ranks, the team preferred to fight in their combined form of [[Liokaiser]] rather than individually, and as such, the Breast Animals were deployed less frequently. Immediately before the team's first combination, during a clash on planet [[Micro]], the Lionbreast was released to attack Star Saber, but a single kick from the Autobot hero knocked it to the ground. {{storylink|Unite! Liokaiser}}

In its next battle, the Lionbreast went up against [[Victory Leo]] with the aid of the [[Kōmoribreast]], but the two creatures were no match for the feral Autobot, and the Lionbreast was easily pinned beneath Leo's massive paw. {{storylink|Fight!! Victory Leo}} The Lionbreast's final recorded appearance offered it a rematch with Victory Leo, and it fared much better, biting into the Autobot's leg and causing him to collapse before gnawing on his arm. {{storylink|Awaken!

'''Kōmoribreast''' (コーモリブレスト) is the [[Breast Animal]] partner of [[Hellbat]]. Savage and cruel, it will happily obey his every command. Kōmoribreast transforms from Hellbat's breastplate into both a mechanical bat and the handheld "Kōmori Cannon" blaster. In bat mode, Kōmoribreast can tap into electrical systems, which, coupled with his small size, makes him an invaluable partner for Hellbat on his numerous spying and information-gathering missions. Kōmoribreast is no slouch in the combat department either: his extendable, prehensile tongue can drain the energy out of a Transformer in suitably vampiric style.
{{TOCclear}}
==Fiction==
===''Victory'' cartoon===

[[Image:Komoribreast_chokes_saber.jpg|left|thumb|225px|]]

Kōmoribreast was put to use by Hellbat on his first mission on [[Earth]], during which he was dispatched to hack into the computer systems of the New Energy Resource Research and Development Laboratory. The creature was happened upon by one of the lab's scientists and broke off from its task, smashing through the wall to reunite with Hellbat and depart. Hellbat later returned to attack the lab with the rest of the [[Breastforce]], but this time, it was being guarded by the [[Brainmaster]]s. The Kōmoribreast was unleashed upon [[Blacker]] and began draining his energy until [[Laster]] freed him from its clutches, and then joined with the rest of the team's Breast Animals in ganging up on [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]]. {{storylink|The New Warrior - Hellbat}}

[[Image:Komoribreast_gunmode.jpg|right|thumb|210px]]

When Star Saber attempted to stop the Breastforce from threatening [[Marine City]] with a neutron bomb, the team deployed their Breast Animals against him. Kōmoribreast began draining Star Saber's energy, leaving him open to attack by the other animals, but the Autobot hero was able to overpower them and soon defeated their masters. {{storylink|Tanker Hijack Operation|Tanker Hijack Operation}}

Kōmoribreast was next put to use infiltrating the [[Autobot]]s' [[Shuttle Base]], but it was discovered by the [[Multiforce]], although not before learning that the Autobot [[Ginrai|God Ginrai]] had apparently died. Ginrai went on to be recreated as [[Victory Leo]], and in this new feral form, was able to easily defeat Kōmoribreast and [[Lionbreast]] when they battled it on "[[Energy Road]]". {{storylink|Awaken! Victory Leo}}

Kōmoribreast was deployed for the final time when the Decepticons unleashed the metal-eating [[Dorya]] insects upon the Autobots. Star Saber was imprisoned inside a force field with the tiny creatures, and the Kōmoribreast helped to prevent the other Autobots from freeing him. During the battle, it used its energy-draining tongue on [[Laster]], and then air-dropped canisters of the Dorya on the Brainmasters from above, subjecting them to the bite of the metal-munching monsters. {{storylink|The Death-Bringing Space Insects!!}}

Carmine Fanzone

2010-05-13T04:59:28Z

125.237.207.242:

:''Carmine Fanzone is a [[human]] from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Captainfanzone.jpg|right|200px|thumb|NYPD Bluestreak]]
Captain '''Carmine Fanzone''' is the apparent head of the [[Detroit]] police department. He hates machines, but in an "I'm old" sort of way rather than being evil or anything. However, despite his oft-repeated mantra of "''This'' is why I hate machines/robots" whenever some device in his vicinity goes on the fritz (often with comedic, embarrassing results), he's pragmatic enough to make use of technology when needed. For example, he's a world champion at yelling at subordinates through megaphones for added effect. And firing heavy weaponry at [[Dinobot (Animated)|rampaging robots]].

Despite his endless battle with the march of progress and general poor luck, Fanzone is a good cop, dedicated to protecting the people of his city, even if he dislikes certain demographics. He's also not a bad guy to have in a brawl. He doesn't ''completely'' trust the [[Autobot|Autobots]], but he's at least assured that they mean well and, like him, are here to protect and serve the people of Detroit. He just wishes that they'd stop destroying so much of the city in the process.

Along with machines, he also hates lawyers and kids, but most of all, he hates tech support for machines.

{{bigquote|This is why I hate Machines|Captain Fanzone every episode hes in}}
==Fiction==
===''Animated'' cartoon===
{{Idw-tfa}}
:''Voice actor:'' [[Jeff Glen Bennett]] (English), [[Nobuo Tobita]] (Japanese), [[Axel Lutter]] (German)

It was the beginning of a bad day when Captain Fanzone got a call for all units to respond to [[Sumdac Systems]] down by Lake Erie. (It was in the middle of his lunch break.) Taking command of the assembled emergency units, Fanzone quickly realized that they were in over their heads fighting a rampaging cybernetic bug-slug, and he ordered all humans to fall back and allow the drones to deal with the creature. When he noticed four cars refusing to fall back, he demanded to know who they were...at which point he realized [[Prowl (Animated)|a cop bike]] had no driver, and [[Captain Fanzone's car|his own car]] was among the group. It got even weirder when it turned out they were [[Transformer|alien robots]], but [[Sari Sumdac|some little girl]] managed to talk the cops down from shooting at the invaders.

Several days later, Fanzone, the Mayor, [[Isaac Sumdac]], and [[Bumblebee (Animated)|that robot that looks like his car]] were taken hostage by [[Starscream (Animated)|an evil jet]], but were saved by the aforementioned little girl and the cop bike. As the cop bike took him down, Fanzone declared that this is why he hates machines. Thankless primate. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out}}

Fanzone was courted by [[Prometheus Black]], who hoped to use the Captain's mistrust of machines in general and Sumdac products in specific to win his company a contract with the Detroit police department. However, once he saw the berserk rage that [[Colossus Rhodes]] displayed when smashing up the parking lot of an arena, he decided he didn't much like Black's biotechnology either. Not long after, he presided over a demonstration of new Sumdac models which proved to still have a few bugs in the system. Sumdac mentioned that these models had much better recognition systems, thus avoiding a repeat of "the unfortunate incident with the Captain's wife". However, sabotage courtesy of the newly minted supervillain Meltdown ensured that the new robots were still far from ready for prime-time. {{storylink|Total Meltdown}}

[[Image:Fanzone.jpg|left|200px|thumb|It's amazing what you can find on eBay these days...]]
When police responded to the rampage of the [[Dinobot (Animated)|Dinobots]], Captain Fanzone arrived and asked how bad it was into his megaphone...to an officer who was standing right next to him. The officer pointed at the rampaging robots, as [[Snarl (Animated)|a mechanical triceratops]] sent a car flying through the air, which hit Fanzone's car, crushing it. Captain Fanzone remained completely unmoved, then grabbed a bazooka from a nearby officer and fired at the triceratops...which promptly ate the projectile. Fanzone again proclaimed his dislike of machines. {{storylink|Blast from the Past}}

After [[Nanosec]]'s defeat by the [[Autobot|Autobots]], Fanzone took the suddenly elderly supervillain into custody. {{storylink|Nanosec (episode)|Nanosec}}

Captain Fanzone accompanied a number of DPD officers to a military base where the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] and [[Lugnut]] had been sighted. He was quite miffed to find that the two giant alien robots had apparently vanished into thin air, unaware that the two had adopted [[Earth]] modes and were hiding in plain sight, and with very odd color schemes. {{storylink|Lost and Found (episode)|Lost and Found}}

[[Image:TFA Survival Fittest Fanzone Grimlock.JPG|right|200px|thumb|Fanzone knew he shouldn't have booked that vacation to Jurassic Park...]]
Captain Fanzone was brought in to lead the investigation regarding Sari Sumdac's disappearance and probable kidnapping. In questioning the Autobots, he was somewhat dubious as to the merits of teaching a little girl "ninja nerve blows." After noticing suspicious behavior from Prowl and Bulkhead, he resolved to follow the two Autobots and pursued them in a (increasingly leaking) submersible. Luckily, Fanzone arrived on [[Dinobot Island (Animated)|the island]] safely, though his vessel crumbled into pieces. Nature proved almost more hostile to the Captain than technology, ultimately resulting in him getting trapped in quicksand and requiring rescue from the very individuals he was shadowing. Grudgingly going along with them, he uncovered Prometheus Black's plan to genetically alter Sari into a biotechnological shapeshifter. His outrage was brief, however, as the mad scientist dropped him into a gladiatorial arena and sicced [[Fusion creature|his failed experiments]] on the Captain and Prowl. Forced to team up to survive, the Autobot earned the Captain's respect and trust as they fought their way out of the research facility. {{storylink|Survival of the Fittest}}

Later, Fanzone found Bulkhead and Sari painting on a billboard on a Detroit rooftop, and stated that they have graffiti laws. When Bulkhead's body was stolen by the [[Headmaster (Animated) |Headmaster]], Fanzone helped in the investigation/search for Bulkhead's body, and when the Headmaster made his plan public (via the evening news) Fanzone wondered how the heck to stop the Headmaster. He later went along with Optimus Prime's plan to "pay him" the money he wanted, but they actually launched a sneak attack on the Headmaster. While the Autobots engaged the Headmaster in battle, Sari, Prof. Sumdac, and Fanzone focused on stabilizing the Solar Fusion Core that the Headmaster had set to explode, which would destroy the entire state of Michigan. Eventually though, the Headmaster accidentally destroyed the control panel, which destroyed any possibility that they could fix it. After Bulkhead had gotten his body back, he came up with the idea to use his newly-acquired artistic skills to build a robot to go into the fusion core and stabilize it manually, as it was their only option left. When the robot succeeded, Fanzone praised its efforts, saying it was "Alright for a machine". {{storylink|Headmaster (episode) |Headmaster}}

And then that trust was destroyed along with a good portion of Detroit after [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]'s [[Megatron Rising - Part 2|rampage]]. When an [[Steelhaven (Animated)|alien ship]] landed in Detroit, Fanzone told the Autobots to stay away, lest something worse happen. When it turned out to be the [[Cybertron Elite Guard]], Fanzone was resigned to the fact that the Autobots would have to deal with them. While the Autobots aboard the alien ship, he refused Sari Sumdac's plea to go to their aid. Once [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] stepped out and told them they were Autobots, Fanzone appeared mildly relieved—until [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|a missile carrier]] and [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|a jerk monster truck]] rolled right after Prime, with the later vehicle denting Fanzone's car. Why did it have to be robots? {{storylink|The Elite Guard}}

During a press conference with [[Augustus Edsel|Mayor Edsel]] and the monster truck named Sentinel Prime, Fanzone received a phone call from what he believed was a woman reporting on Decepticon activity. Heading to old Detroit, Sentinel Prime condescendingly told the humans to stay away. Later, he was on hand to arrest [[Headmaster (Animated)|Henry Masterson]], only for [[Porter C. Powell]], the new CEO of Sumdac Systems, to arrive and point out that Masterson had committed no real crimes, as robots weren't protected by law, not to mention that the incident occurred on a boat in international waters between the [[United States]] and [[Canada]]. Reluctantly, Fanzone released Masterson. This is why he hates businessmen. {{storylink|The Return of the Headmaster}}

[[Image:Swingset.JPG|left|200px|thumb|Fanzone agreed to help as long as someone gave him a push.]]
With the prospect of being recalled to Cybertron, the Autobots had the dilemma of who was going to care for Sari after the mean old businessman put her out on the streets. First on their list of grade-A trustworthy humans was Captain Fanzone. Granted, the list was short and also included Prometheus Black and Nino Sexton. In an effort by the Autobots to get the two humans to bond, Sari discussed with Fanzone the merits of being able to stay up as late as she likes, as well as her need for a very large allowance.

Captain Fanzone breathed a sigh of relief when the Autobots got to stay. Sari said they could still hang out. {{storylink|Mission Accomplished}}

The captain was close by when a breakdown in human-robot relations occurred during the Autobots' assistance with a garbage strike. Breaking up the confrontation between a curmudgeonly citizen and the similarly curmudgeonly [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]], he advised the veteran Autobot that he needed to work on his people skills. When someone like Fanzone says this, you really ought to worry. {{storylink|Garbage In, Garbage Out}}

While pursuing some of the racers of ''[[Street Demon]]'' show, Fanzone managed to arrest two of them who'd been driven off the road by [[Blurr (Animated)|a blue car]] when the Autobots provided assistance to the drivers. Interrogating one (and serving as both [[Prowl (G1)|good cop]] ''and'' [[Barricade (Movie)|bad cop]]), he learned where the next race would be. As he headed downtown, he was surprised when Bumblebee drove up alongside and opened his door, and Sari Sumdac told him to jump into the car—at which point he noticed [[Blitzwing (Animated)|a fighter jet]] shooting missiles at him. Fanzone jumped into Bumblebee, where Sari revealed that [[Master Disaster]] was controlling the blue car with some sort of remote control. After the aforementioned blue car won a mid-air game of chicken with the jet, Bumblebee removed the two humans, then went to fight the Decepticon. As Master Disaster tried to sneak away, Fanzone placed him under arrest. {{storylink|Velocity}}

Once Bumblebee had managed to defeat [[Swindle (Animated) |Swindle]], the S.U.V. tried to get away in his vehicle mode, only to find it inoperable, which allowed Bumblebee to apprehend them. Fanzone then proceeded to arrest them, and have Swindle towed away. {{storylink|SUV: Society of Ultimate Villainy}}

After Meltdown was abducted from jail, Fanzone was called in to investigate. While at the scene, Fanzone encountered Porter C. Powell, who immediately blamed Sari and the Autobots for Meltdown's escape, and was shown a recorded conversation they had with Meltdown as proof. Suspicious, Fanzone asked him how he obtained that recording, which was met with an evasive response from Powell. After Powell pompously demanded that he provide him with police protection, Fanzone ignored him and walked off. Later that night, Fanzone received a call from Powell, informing him that a robbery had been committed by the Autobots, though the only thing they took was Meltdown's [[genetic modifier]]. Turned out that the robbery and Meltdown's escape were caused by their [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|"Spider-Lady Friend"]] blackmailing the Dinobots and Optimus Prime into helping her and the Autobots returned the genetic modifier back to Powell, albeit melted and damaged beyond repair. An irate Powell demanded that Fanzone arrest the Autobots for endangering his life, but Fanzone, already fed up with Powell at this point, said he was going to get some sleep and walked away, but not before telling Powell to do the same or he'd arrest him for being a public nuisance. {{storylink|Black Friday (episode)|Black Friday}}

After Optimus Prime defeated [[Headmaster (Animated)|Headmaster]], Fanzone showed up mutely to arrest him. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

When the [[Constructicons (Animated)|Constructicons]] (under [[Dirt Boss (Animated)|new management]]) started their oil-racketing gig, Fanzone asked whether Bulkhead knew the [[Mixmaster (Animated)|rude]] [[Scrapper (Animated)|oil guzzlers]] in question. When Bulkhead admited so and claimed that they were simply good bots that fell in with [[Decepticons|the wrong crowd]], Fanzone told Bulkhead to tell his 'good bots' that he does not appreciate illegal horseplay in his town, especially if it's by machines. {{storylink|Three's a Crowd}}

Fanzone was given a [[Sound Wave]] for Christmas, with the note "A machine even you could love". It proceeded to take over his mind. Meanwhile, in a virtual world, Bumblebee stole virtual-Fanzone's car.

Upon the real [[Soundwave (Animated)|Soundwave]]'s defeat, Fanzone was freed. {{storylink|Human Error, Part II}}

When the police heli-drones started malfunctioning, Fanzone went to Sumdac Tower to complain to Isaac Sumdac in person. All he found was Ratchet trying to work use Bulkhead's Space Bridge to find [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]]. Then said heli-drones appeared and started attacking Fanzone. Fortunately, his life was saved when the Space Bridge activated and sucked Fanzone out of harm's way. Problem was, it sent him to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], a planet inhabited completely by robots. Things did not turn better when [[Flareup (Animated)|one robot]] encouraged [[Grandus (Animated)|her large friend]] to step on him. Fanzone's life was saved when Ratchet, who had also jumped through the Space Bridge, showed up. Unfortunately for Fanzone, all of Cybertron was anti-organic, thanks to their new leader, Sentinel 'Magnus'. He was apprehended by Sentinel and was a witness to the Autobot Council's debate whether or not they should fire on Omega Supreme. When Ratchet's disagreement with Sentinel caused him to be branded as a traitor, Fanzone provided a decent distraction with a loud (and disgusting) sneeze.

Ratchet and Fanzone escaped to the underground tunnels, only to find someone had been living there for a while: a tall one-eyed Decepticon that Ratchet identified as [[Shockwave (Animated)|Shockwave]]. When Shockwave revealed his plans to steal Omega Supreme's access codes, the two bots had a tussle and Shockwave got away. Fortunately, Fanzone knew where to go: to [[Rattletrap|the guy in town who dealt in false documents]]. Ratchet and Fanzone were able to convince him to give them an access card to the Cybertron Central Infirmary. When those codes turned out bogus, Jazz, who Fanzone knew had been tailing them since the tunnels, gave them a genuine keycard. Then Ratchet showed them what they were fighting over: [[Arcee (Animated)|a comatose robot dame]]. However, they had just led Shockwave to her. Fanzone demanded an explanation of why she was so important. Ratchet briefly told him how he and Arcee were captured by [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]] when Ratchet was transporting her and the activation codes she carried, only for her memory to be wiped by Ratchet's EMP generator. Ratchet then put Fanzone and Arcee into the room, only for Shockwave to break into the room, bury Fanzone in rubble, and fly off with Arcee.

Later, [[Alpha Trion (Animated)|two]] [[Perceptor (Animated)|of]] the Autobot Council provided Ratchet and Fanzone a Space Bridge ride home. The moment was slightly soured by Ratchet refusing to give Sentinel the Magnus Hammer and jumping through the Space Bridge with Fanzone. Back on Earth, Fanzone loudly complained about how he had been "mixed up in a war, nearly stepped on, blasted, buried in rubble, and possibly zapped into space" and was now an accomplice in intergalactic grand theft. Then Ratchet destroyed a malfunctioning heli-drone and Fanzone called it even. Then Jazz came through the Space Bridge so he could join the Earth Autobots, much to Fanzone's annoyance. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}

==Notes==
* According to [[Marty Isenberg]], Captain Fanzone was named after Detroit native [[wikipedia:Carmen_Fanzone|Carmen Fanzone]], a neighbor of his and a former player for the Chicago Cubs. Due to the relative scarcity of Fanzones in Michigan, the real Fanzone had to sign a waiver before the character could be used. The real Carmen Fanzone also doesn't look or sound anything like the ''Animated'' one.

[[Image:TFA Fanzone open eyes.JPG|right|200px|thumb|Fanzone can open his eyes. Experience has just taught him that he won't like what he sees.]]
* Fanzone's ability to open his eyes seems to vary from episode to episode. In many episodes (seemingly the ones animated by [[The Answer Studio]]) his eyes are permanently closed... which does match the stock [[character model]] seen above, granted, but probably isn't how he's supposed to be 24/7.

* Captain Fanzone is so slow to adopt new technology that he has a [[wikipedia:rotary_dial|rotary dial]] cell phone...and he even has problems with that.

* His car has been crushed several times, yet it continues to show up to be crushed again. He must have good insurance.

* Fanzone's extended family, including his wife and mother-in-law, have been alluded to on a number of occasions, but have yet to make an actual appearance. Given that it's been implied that the other Fanzones are just as susceptible to "unfortunate incidents" with technology as the captain himself is, that's probably just as well.

* Fanzone is actually the first human [[This Is Why I Hate Machines|ever to set foot on Cybertron]] in the ''Animated'' universe.
