[[Image:Quintesson symbol.png|right|thumb|250px|The seldom-seem Quintesson [[insignia|faction symbol]].]]

The '''Quintessons''' are a bizarre and ancient race of mechanoids, whose history and shadowy machinations are bound up with that of the [[Transformer]]s. They prefer subtle manipulation, scheming, and advanced technology over brute force, but if those don't work they can fall back on the legion of deadly [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]] and [[Allicon]]s at their command, and a fleet of battle-ready [[Quintesson spacecraft|space ships]] as well. However, the Quintessons themselves are have zero fighting abilities, and absolute cowards if they have nothing to hide behind. An example of this is that the Quintessons are powerless against a Sharkticon revolt.

== Types of Quintessons ==
[[Image:QuintessonTFMMarvel.jpg|right|thumb| What? Death is for the guilty ones? You mean I've been doing this wrong the whole time?]]
The Quintessons appear to be mostly (if not entirely) mechanical beings. They come in several distinct forms, some of which are identified by their place in the Quintesson's bizarre court system.

:''('''Note''': The names given are, when possible, taken directly from the character model sheets.)''

==='''Judges '''===
The most prominent and famous type of Quintesson, as well as the apparent "leaders" of the race, are the Judges, also referred to as the Imperial Magistrates. Consisting of an inverted, egg-shaped body, they float on a beam of energy and possess wiry tentacles for physical manipulation, but their most distinctive physical characteristics are their five rotating faces. Each face represents a different aspect of the Quintesson, though for four of the five faces, there are conflicting accounts as to what each represents.

:''('''Note''': The first names given above come from Japanese [[Comic Bom Bom]] supplements. They are derived from the descriptions given of the faces in the original script for [[The Transformers: The Movie|the movie]] - an "angry face," a "smiling face," a "grimacing face" and a "suspicious face" - and the faces were [http://hometown.aol.com/silverphoenix12/junkion.html specifically designed] by [[Floro Dery]] to represent these emotions. All the same, this information remained very little-known for a long time, leading to the second set of names being made up for the 2004 publication, ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]],'' which have no basis in anything. The original names were also used for ''[[Transformers: The Ark|The Ark]]'', published by [[IDW]] in 2007.)''

In the original animated series, the Judges were all of the same size, and the only named member of their breed was [[Judge Deliberata]]. Conversely, in the Marvel Comics continuity, Judges vary in size, and include the massive [[Lord Kledji]], and the smaller [[Sevax]]. It is worth noting that the order of the faces in the ring varies from Judge to Judge (if not from shot to shot, ahem).

=== Other Quintesson Types ===

*'''Bailiffs'''
[[Image:Quintbailiff anime.png|thumb|150px|left|None Shall Pass!]]
These snout-nosed creatures were seen serving as guards in the Quintessons' court.

*'''Executioners'''
[[Image:QuintGate.gif|left|thumb|Pokey,pokey!]]

This breed of Quintesson was first seen throwing the switch that dropped the unfortunate [[Arblus]] into the [[Sharkticon]] pit. They have also been called "Gatekeepers".

Named members of this breed include [[General Ghyrik]], who led a Quintesson attack on [[Autobot City]]. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}
{{-}}

*'''Prosecutor'''
[[Image:Inquisitor fugly.jpg|thumb|left|Prosecutor and the seldom-seen 'wizened' variant.]]

This variety of Quintesson is the second most common type, often seen in positions of authority. They have also been called "Inquisitors". In court, they are the ones who ask for the Judges' verdicts, and occasionally let the defendants say something in their defense, for all it matters.

===Animated series===
[[image: Quint.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Believe it or not, you actually have better chances in Texas.]]

In ages long past, a cold and emotionless race of aliens called the Quintessons created 2 lines of sentient robots on a planet-sized factory known as [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. One was a line of robots designed for domestic duties and labor (known as [[Autobot]]s) and another line designed for military use (known as [[Decepticon]]s). The Quintessons were exceptionally cruel to their creations, eventually leading to wide-spread rebellion, a rebellion started by the Autobot [[Alpha Trion (G1)|A3]]. Forced to flee the planet, the Quintessons eventually settled on the small, twisted planet of [[Quintessa]], but fostered an undying hatred of all Transformers for millions of years. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}

In 2005, they were shown to capture prisoners for trial and feeding to their army of [[Sharkticon]]s. The mock trials held by the Quintesson Court seemed to have no purpose at all (except maybe for the Quintessons's amusement), as even when the Judge determined the defendant to be innocent, they were still immediately fed to the ravenous Sharkticons. However, the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s manged to rescue the Autobots. Worse, [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] inspired the Sharkticons to rebel...by stomping his foot on the ground and telling them to. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

One (or possibly 5, depending on who you ask) years after the defeat of [[Unicron]], the Quintessons re-appeared. They first sent a commando team of Sharkticons to abduct various Autobots (as well as [[Spike Witwicky]], though that may have been unintentional). Upon capturing the 'bots, the Quintessons seemed more interesting in interrogating their prisoners then feeding them to the Sharkticons. However, they eventually did find the captured Transformers to be guilty of the crime of... being Transformers (Spike was guilty by association). {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2}}

After [[Rodimus Prime (G1)|Rodimus]] and the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] mounted a rescue for their captive friends, the Quintessons attempted to kill the would-be rescuers by destroying the entire planet of [[Quintessa]]. After this plan failed, the surviving Quintessons made an alliance with the newly revived [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] to attack Cybertron (in return for the fictional [[Decepticon Matrix|Decepticon Matrix of Leadership]], which they made up because they needed to give him a reason not kill them). {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}}

The Quintessons betrayed Galvatron almost immediately after the battle had been won, toggling a switch which caused all Transformers the Galaxy over to literally freeze where they stood. Luckily, Spike stopped the Quintessons before they had much a chance to do anything. Despite their betrayal (and the fact that they almost killed him), Galvatron remained an ally (despite that he tried to kill them also). {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

Later plots by the Quintessons were no less nefarious. A rogue Quintesson scientist abducted several Transformers and a human for behavioral study {{storylink|The Killing Jar}} and revived the deceased [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] in an attempt to lure all the Autobots into a trap (which nearly succeeded). {{storylink|Dark Awakening}} Later still, the Quintessons attempted to rewrite history by preventing their loss of Cybertron (which nearly resulted in the very fabric of Time being destroyed). {{storylink|Forever is a Long Time Coming}}

A single Quintesson was captured by [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] to repair the body of Optimus Prime. It was mentioned that the Quintessons had gone into hiding in the furthest reaches of the galaxy and were never heard from again. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime}}

====Kiss Players====
[[image: KPMaximus2.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Do cameos count as canon?]]The [[Kiss Players (singing group)|Kiss Players]] [[Marissa Faireborn]], [[Atari Hitotonari]] and [[Shaoshao Li]], together with the [[Sparkbot]]s [[Angela]], [[Star Dust]] and [[Zangetsu]], were traveling through time aboard [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]] when the space fortress suddenly went out of control.

[[image: KPQuints.jpg|thumb|right|200px|This is all kinds of crazy.]]
The six found themselves on a strange alien world in the year 2011. With their ship ensnared, they were herded by [[Sharkticon]]s to the Space Tribunal, where the Quintessons put them on trial for time traveling without their permission.

When Shaoshao asked if being cute was a crime, the Quintessons threatened to charge her with contempt of court. Atari suggested using their Kiss Play abilities to transform into cute costumes and ask the "octopusses" nicely to let them go. But turning into a swimsuit-clad elementary school girl and asking the judge's permission to go to the potty only resulted in Atari and her friends being found "not guilty" and dropped into the Sharkticon pit below.

Rescued by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Goldbug]], they fled back to Fortress Maximus and re-entered the time portal. Sucked into the maelstrom along with them, the Quintessons demanded that they stop, saying that they were the last of their kind. But it was too late, and the aliens were trapped inside the hole in space-time.

===Marvel UK Comics===

Like those creepy little fish that swarm behind sharks, snapping at stray scraps, the Quintessons were vile enforcers for [[Unicron]], savagely hunting down and picking off those that attempted to escape his maw.

In 2008 Quintesson scientists realized that their planet, Quintesson (not [[Quintessa]]), was threatened with destruction by a time rift that was caused by [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge’s]] time traveling.

Desperate for their race to survive they launched a surprise attack on Autobot City, capturing it for themselves. Most of the Autobots were deactivated, except for [[Hot Rod|Rodimus Prime]] who was outside the city at the time of the attack and [[Eject]], [[Rewind]], [[Ramhorn]] and [[Steeljaw]] who were hidden inside [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster’s]] cassette compartment.

Using [[Arcee]] as bait the Quintessons captured the [[Creation Matrix]] from Rodimus and he reverted to [[Hot Rod]]. Out of options, Hot Rod activated the core of Autobot City, a giant Autobot called [[Metroplex]], who transformed and drove the Quintessons off but caused massive damage to the city in the process.

The Quintessons fled, but were ordered by Lord Kledji to ''not'' return to Quintesson, but to roam the stars instead to rebuild their forces and seek revenge on the Transformers, since their home planet was doomed beyond hope. How that went for them is unknown, but as they'd managed to cheese off most of the known metallic species by that point, it probably didn't go too well.

===3H Transformers Universe: The Wreckers comic===
The Quintessons conspired with [[Cryotek]] to retake the newly-reformatted Cybertron. He screwed them.

===Dreamwave Comics===
They control the [[Council of Ancients]].

Later, they prep the [[Female Autobots]] for invading Cybertron.

==Trivia==
*When asked about the Quintesson design in an interview, [[Floro Dery]] stated they were based on a cylindrical toy he designed at some point. <ref>[http://transformersph.blogspot.com/2007/06/interview-with-floro-dery.html TransFormers Philippines: Interview With Floro Dery]</ref>

More Than Meets The Eye

2007-09-17T00:54:13Z

137.186.243.139: /* More Than Meets The Eye (G1) */

{{Template:Disambig2|the Dreamwave-produced bio series|the three-part animated miniseries|More Than Meets the Eye, Part 1}}

A series of profile books published by Dreamwave Productions in 2003 and 2004 that introduced readers to every character within the continuities of [[Generation 1]], ''[[Armada]]'' and ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]''.

===More Than Meets The Eye (G1)===
This is an 8-issue series that profiles all characters that were released by Hasbro between 1984 and 1991, as well as a few characters that appeared only within Marvel/Sunbow animated projects between 1984 and 1987. The series also introduces new content in order to establish parameters for stories within the Dreamwave continuity. It should also be noted that a number of personalities were created from scratch for the Micromasters, many of whom were little more than toys and names prior (though some characters, such as [[Countdown]] had personalities beforehand).

:* 1 volume, 8 issues; published April-November, 2003. The series was also released as a 2-volume trade paperback edition in December 2004, which included introductions by the authors, and bonus artwork.

===More Than Meets The Eye: Armada===
This three-issue limited series profiled all the characters that appeared in the Armada product line between 2002 and 2004, as well as background essays on subjects like humanity's involvement in the Armada conflict and the Mini-Con Moonbase. The profiles followed the Dreamwave storyline in its Armada comic book series, though it took cues from the Armada cartoon for various characters that did not appear in the comic series.

:* 1 volume, 3 issues; published May-July 2004.

===More Than Meets The Eye: Energon===
This was a planned three-issue guidebook following the format of the earlier G1 and Armada books. The series was left incomplete (in that no issues actually got released) due to the insolvency of Dreamwave Productions in late 2004.

:* Unpublished; planned 3-volume series beginning in January 2005. Some finished artwork has appeared on the web from artists who worked on the project, but the status of the text is unknown.

Megatron (Movie)

2007-07-07T02:59:28Z

137.186.243.139:

{{disambig3|Megatron}}

:''Megatron is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]]. He is often refered to as Lord Megatron. Known to humans as both "The Ice Man" and "The Mega-Man" and more formally as [[N.B.E.]] - 1''

[[Image:Megatronmovie.jpg |thumb|right|300px|Super Fighting Robot...MEGA-MAN!]]

The brother of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] as well as former Lord High Protector and co-ruler of [[Cybertron]], '''Megatron''' is vicious and extremely powerful, single-minded in his goals, straight forward and brutally direct in his attempts to seize those goals. He is all "blunt force" in contrast to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] penchant for deceit and trickery. On the downside, Megatron tends to become so obsessed with the object of his desires that he can ignore "secondary" matters and glaring flaws in his plans (otherwise, he likely wouldn't have melted into ice-cold arctic water after being white hot from re-entry and spent millions of years as a popsicle).

While [[Megatron (disambiguation)|some]] merely dislike or disregard organics, Megatron feels a violent hatred towards them and seems to view them as only slightly above a virus, with him as the cure. If there was no Allspark, it is not that big a stretch to think he'd have come here anyway, just to cleanse one more planet of it's infection

==Fiction==
===''Official Movie Prequel'' comic===
[[Image:MovieMegatron_Bumblebee_torture_comic.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Better get some ice on that.]]

Megatron once ruled Cybertron side-by-side with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. For generations, the two ruled in peace. Megatron was firm, but Prime was fair, creating a nice, even balance. Sadly, he got a jonesing for the [[Allspark#All Spark (cube)|All Spark]] and the war started. When [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] stalled him long enough for it to be launched into space, he tore off Bumblebee's arm and crushed his voice box (but in the friendliest way). He then took off into space after the All Spark, eventually pulling a [[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]].

Megatron followed the Allspark to [[Earth]], where he successfully crash-landed in the Arctic Circle and was frozen solid for thousands of years. In 1897, some 100 Earth-years before the arrival of the other Transformers, he was discovered by an explorer named [[Archibald Amundsen Witwicky]]. Captain Witwicky accidentally activated Megatron's navigation system and caused the coordinates of the Allspark to be etched onto the explorer's glasses. Megatron remained imprisoned in the Arctic, until the 1930s, when he was dug out by the United States government moved to a secret [[Sector Seven]] stronghold inside [[Hoover Dam]].

In the present day, having searched the galaxy for the Allspark and being drawn to Earth, the remaining Decepticons learn of Witwicky's glasses. Through the internet, they determine the location of both Megatron and the Allspark inside Hoover Dam. [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] infiltrated the dam and shut down the power systems, resulting in Megatron's thawing out. Megatron declared his name before jetting off after the Allspark again. He chases a particular [[Samuel James Witwicky|human]] who removed the Allspark from the dam. Unfortunately, this human is protected by Optimus Prime. The brothers are evenly-matched, but Megatron is eventually killed when the human rams the Allspark into the Decepticon's chest.

Megatron's body is dumped into the ocean at its deepest point, along with the remains of the other Decepticons.

*'''Megatron''' (Leader, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-07'''

[[Image:Movie_Leader_Megatron_toy.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Just what the hell do I turn into?]]

: Leader class ''Movie'' Megatron transforms into a silver Cybertronic assault jet. He is quite accurate to the CGI design... except for the giant mass of legs attempting (but failing) to hide under the wings.

: In robot mode, Megatron's sculpt is quite accurate, or as accurate as a toy based on his CG design can be. However, his paint decoration is quite inaccurate, with blue highlights on various parts of his body, possibly to allude to his pre-frozen state and to give a relatively monochromatic figure more colour. More confusing is his jet black face, which obscures the sculpt's details and is inaccurate to the movie appearance' gunmetal.

: Megatron's right fist disconnects at the wrist to become the spiked end of the extendable "chain whip" weapon concealed within his forearm (perhaps in homage to [[Megatron (G1)|G1 Megatron]]'s own flail weapon); pressing the black switch on the arm pulls the chain taut for a whipping attack. His arms also link together at the wrists to form a "fusion cannon," with the pod on his left forearm concealing the weapon's [[Automorph]]ing twin barrels, exposed by pulling a switch. His other automorph features include his wings folding up as his vehicle nosecone is moved into place, and his feet unfolding as his knees are straightened. Finally, pressing the button on his waist activates a small friction motor, which moves various torso plates and blades on his back into place, accompanied by a metallic shrieking sound and flashing yellow lights.

:Megatron's instructions summarily fail to actually tell the reader about how his gimmicks work. The whipping-action black switch for his flail is not mentioned; they do not detail how to connect the arms for fusion cannon mode; and the fact that the cannon is on a slider, allowing it to be centre-aligned, rather than sitting off to one side, is also omitted.

: There is a significant assembly error in Megatron's arms: The right fist is ''supposed'' to launch out of the right arm, while the left arm fusion cannon is supposed to slide into position normally without requiring the user to hold it in position. However, the spring for the launching mechanism was placed in his left arm instead of his right arm, which essentially neuters the gimmicks of both arms. By switching the spring from the left arm to his right arm, the right fist should now launch properly and the left arm cannon should now Automorph correctly.

: There is also an error in Megatron's legs, in that his left and right hip joints have been swapped for reasons unknown. Switching them allows for a slightly smoother transformation.

: ''Geez'', Hasbro.

*'''Megatron''' (Legends, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_Legends_Megatron_toy.jpg|thumb|right|Again, what the hell do I turn into?]]

:Legends class Megatron is the smallest mainline ''Movie'' Megatron toy, and boy does it show. Even with Megatron's relatively simple transformation sequence, the sheer simplicity of the Legends class toy means that in vehicle mode he is basically his robot mode splayed out, and again, boy is it obvious. His robot mode is passably accurate, if by accurate one means he is now a hunchback with wings for legs and Dustbusters for hands.

{{-}}

*'''Megatron''' (Voyager, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-14'''

:Voyager class Megatron transforms into an ice-covered version of his cybertronic jet, with transparent blue plastic forming large portions of his vehicle mode, such as parts of his wings. This ice design is carried onto his robot mode, with his legs, shoulders and chest having some kind of 'ice' plastic covering them. With a significantly different transformation sequence compared to his earlier Leader class toy, his chest frost lowers and his shoulders raise to robot mode position when you bring his lower body forward thanks to [[Automorph]] technology. He also has his fusion cannon in its entirety on his left arm. His wings feature flip-out "ice blade", and pulling on a piece in the back of his jet mode brings them forward like pincer claws.

:Something interesting to note is that his feet are entirely spring-loaded, which means his foot and the two "rear toes" on each feet automatically close up when he's not standing up. Surprisingly, this helps a lot with the posing as the feet's parts automatically position themselves for the perfect balance.

Ironhide (Movie)

2007-07-07T02:56:09Z

137.186.243.139: /* ''Transformers'' (2007) movie */

{{disambig3|Ironhide}}

:''Ironhide is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Ironhidemovie.jpg|right|thumb|350px|Eat your heart out Dirty Harry.]]

'''Ironhide''' is the Autobot's resident weapons specialist and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime's]] old friend. He is old because he is ''hard''. He's probably had enough replacement parts to build a small army, but Ironhide doggedly refuses to roll over and die for anyone. He'll fight to the bitter end and take down more than his fair share of [[Decepticon]]s in the process.

Ironhide doesn't always see optic to optic with Prime, despite their friendship. He's perhaps the more practical of the two, and more than a little trigger happy, so he can be more willing to push to autobot code to the limit if he thinks it will get the job done faster.

He has more guns than [[Carbombya|a smaller third-world country]].

[[Image:MovieIronhidetrailer.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Shouldn't have eaten those beans.]]
:''Voice actor:'' [[Jess Harnell]] (English)
After meeting [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Mikaela Banes]], Ironhide displayed an eagerness to show off his [[weapon|cannons]]. Going to the Witwicky residence, Ironhide was urinated upon by [[Mojo|a rodent]]. This unpleasant situation was made worse by [[Sam Witwicky]]'s refusal to let him shoot it. He also suggested shooting [[Judy Witwicky|the parents]], as they were interfering with Sam's search for [[Captain Witwicky]]'s [[glasses]]. Optimus reminded him that they don't hurt humans, and scolded his weapons expert, to which Ironhide responded that he merely thought it should remain an option.

In the final battle at [[Mission City]], Ironhide and the other Autobots fought to hold off the Decepticons while Sam made his way to a rooftop where he could pass the [[All Spark]] to a military helicopter. He did an unnecessary series of somersaults to avoid some missile fire and totally scared the crap out of a lady sitting in the middle of the street. Then again, if you're sitting in the middle of the crossfire between two [[Transformer|trigger happy robot]]s, survival may not be a priority.

After the destruction of Megatron and the All Spark, Ironhide gave [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] a ride home.

Brief aside with Optimus Prime reveals Ironhide's actions may have resulted in the destruction of [[Cyber Five|a small planet]] at one point. Ironhide maintains that it was going to blow up anyway.

:''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MA-09'''

[[Image:Movie_Voyager_Ironhide_toy.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Quickdraw McGraw'd shoot you for handing him the wrong hat]]

:Ironhide transforms into a modified black 2006 GMC Topkick 6500 four-wheel drive pickup truck. The two exhaust smokestacks behind the rear cabin have been shortened from the real scaled length and the prototype due to [[For safety reasons|safety]] and durability reasons, but otherwise the vehicle mode is very accurate to the real truck... well, aside from the fact Ironhide's massive missile launchers are quite visible underneath the vehicle.

: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 automaticaly shift and fold into place. This gimmick does not affect Ironhide's articulation. The instructions omit the exact positioning of the roof panels and rear window on his back, confusingly.

:In robot mode, Ironhide is quite accurate to his CGI design, though obviously simplified for toy practicality. Contrary to appearances, he features full standard up-down and lateral shoulder articulation, as well as articulation in his elbows, hips and knees. 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.

==Trivia==
* In the initial draft of the movie, Ironhide was not present among the Autobot cast. However, due to fan input, he replaced female Autobot [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] in later drafts and the subsequent final script.

* In the movie, both of Ironhide's guns have 10,000 parts each.

* According to an article from [http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=121589 Edmunds], Monroe Truck Equipment, in association with Hasbro, will release a GMC TopKick Ironhide special edition featuring most of the modifications made to the Ironhide vehicle props used in the movie.

:''Bludgeon is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Bludgeon''' is a ferocious warrior, skilled in the ancient Cybertronian martial art of [[Metallikato]]. Utterly vicious and aloof, Bludgeon is also highly religious, adhering to an arcane code of honor.

"Arcane", of course, is code for "bloodthirsty, murderous, sadistic, and subject to the whims of the guy holding the sword."

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
''(Note: Events from the UK-only comic stories are in italics.)''

''Bludgeon killed [[Catilla]], a former Decepticon turned Autobot causing ex-Decepticon [[Carnivac]] who loosely allied himself with the Autobot "[[Survivors]]" group to hunt Bludgeon to avenge Catilla's death.''

He later took on the leadership of [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]'s new [[Mayhem Attack Squad]], sent to slay the newly-resurrected [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]], [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. However, alongside the [[Rescue Patrol]], the Mayhems were foiled, and inadvertently awakened the slumbering [[Primus]] in the process. During the subsequent battle against [[Unicron]], Bludgeon served as an advisor to [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], and battled against Unicronian cultists on Cybertron. After Unicron's defeat and Scorponok's death, Bludgeon became leader of the Decepticons, and abandoned the ruined Cybertron to the Autobots. Alongside his lieutenant [[Krok (G1|Krok]], Bludgeon and the Decepticons invaded and pillaged the planet [[Klo]]. The Autobots attempted to stop them, but were routed by the Decepticons until the arrival of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], the [[Neo-Knights]], and [[Last Autobot|The Last Autobot]]. Their combined assault decimated the Decepticons and sent them into retreat.

Following a brief exile, Bludgeon created a large planet-like spacecraft known as the [[Warworld]], which functioned as a vessel for pirating resources throughout the galaxy. Bludgeon then made a bid to lure Optimus Prime to Earth to steal the Autobot Creation Matrix so life could be granted to a new generation of Decepticon warriors. The plan involved a full-scale attack on Earth and did succeed in drawing Optimus Prime to Earth's defense, but not before Bludgeon was confronted by the newly-rebuilt [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], who wanted command of the Decepticons for himself once more. In a brief skirmish, Megatron decapitated Bludgeon's shell and destroyed his inner robot, killing him. The victorious Decepticon leader subsequently displayed Bludgeon's severed head in the Warworld.

===Dreamwave ''Generation 1'' comics===
During the so-called 'Dark Ages' of the Autobot/Decepticon conflict, Bludgeon, alongside [[Bugly (G1)|Bugly]] and [[Mindwipe]], was a disciple of the mysterious being known as [[The Fallen]]. Together with him, they captured a number of Transformers in order to perform a bizarre ceremony at Cybertron's core, but were eventually foiled by [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. Bludgeon was stopped from alerting The Fallen of the impending allied attack on the Well of All Sparks by a teleporting [[Skywarp]].

===Dreamwave ''Armada'' comics===
An alternate universe version of Bludgeon later appeared as one of [[Unicron]]'s heralds in Dreamwave's comic in their cross-over storyline "Worlds Collide," along with [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]], [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], and [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. This Bludgeon was also a martial artist, but unlike Bludgeon's verbose incarnation in Marvel Comics, this incarnation seemed to be mute. After his Pretender shell is destroyed, he is blown up when [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] detonates the Decepticon headquarters that they have taken over.

===IDW Comics===
[[Image:Bludgeon.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Talk about talking your jaw off!]]Bludgeon is the leader of a team of Decepticons bent on restoring the wasted Cybertron to its former glory by resurrecting [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]], the Decepticon scientist who became the avatar of the Cybertronian cataclysm. Him and his team of G1 Pretenders (Iguanus, Finback, Skullgrin, and Bomb-Burst) believed that in reawakening Thunderwing and turning him loose, the mass sacrifice of worlds would allow the rebirth of Cybertron. They also delved into the outlawed bio-graft experiments pioneered by Thunderwing, in an attempt to create super-shells of their own.

{{spoiler}}

When the Wreckers attacked Bludgeon's base by surprise, Iguanus escaped to the bio-graft chamber to find Bludgeon - only to find the cult leader having donned full Pretender armor, giving him a G1 Shell look which is presumably transformable. However, in Bludgeon's rush the shell was not mentally aligned, causing a psychic backlash that took down the Decepticon before the Wreckers even found him. It is unclear whether Bludgeon's mind survived, but if it did it is apparently trapped in torment.

Bludgeon's 'original' mode was vastly overhauled for Stormbringer, evoking much more clearly the more recognisable skull-face and helmet. His shell bore a great resemblance to that of G1, only like Thunderwing's it seems that it may be able to transform into a tank.

===Devil's Due GI Joe vs. Transformers comics===

{{spoiler}}

When Optimus Prime was given the [[Matrix]], Bludgeon attempted to kill him. Some years after failing, he ended up on [[Earth]] working with [[Cobra-La]]. He was responsible for the death of an [[G.I. Joe|Adventure Team]] member in 1978.

Transformers: Classics

2007-02-19T22:11:22Z

137.186.243.139:

{{disambig3|Classics}}
When the [[Transformers (2007)|live-action Transformers film]] was pushed back from November 2006 to July 2007, [[Hasbro]] needed to create a filler line to bridge the newly created gap in their product offerings. That bridge was a revisitation of the original ''[[Generation 1]]'' characters, dubbed '''''Classics'''''.

Later, [[Mini-Con]]s which were originally meant for the end of the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' line and ''Generation 1''-inspired ''Legends'' [[redeco]]es were also added to expand the line further.

Although no original animation or full-length comic fiction is planned for the line, the Fun Publications Official Transformers Fan Club Magazine comic will be utilizing the Classics in their 2007 story-arc and setting them in a continuation of the old Generation 1 [[Marvel Comics]] universe (A version of this universe that includes everything up until the end of the original Marvel run, but excludes the events of the [[Generation 2]] book that followed, taking things in a new direction instead.)

==Toyline==
===Legends===

*[[Fireflight (G1)|Fireflight]]

==What counts as ''Classics''?==

The ''Classics'' toyline is a little tricky to define because some of the items which one would think belong to it -- the Magnus/Skywarp two-pack for instance which redecoes two ''Classics'' figures -- do not actually say "Classic" anywhere on their packaging. Even the toys that are definitely "real" ''Classics'' toys only have the word on one panel of their packaging as a prefix to their [[size class]] ("Classic Deluxe" or "Classic Voyager").

For simplicity, '''{{SITENAME}}''' is considering all toys that come in the ''Classics''-style packaging to be ''Classics'' toys, even if they do not self-identify as such. Those toys include:

*Prime vs. Megatron Ultimate Battle set
*Magnus vs. Skywarp Battle for Autobot City set
*20th Anniversary Prime redeco
*Mini-Cons (the Mini-Con sets have been referred to as ''Classics'' toys on Hasbro's website, but not on the packaging)

==Future?==

With the upcoming movie toyline and the new series "Heroes" to follow it, the fate of the Classics line is currently unknown. While it is true that Hasbro has gone on record to say that they would like to make some other figures for the line (even going as far as creating concept art for an updated [[Cosmos]] figure), with the massive amounts of merchandise being created for the movie and the inevitable new line of figures that will come with Heroes, it seems that the Classics will not continue for the time being. Though response to the figures has been very positive, it was credited as a line to fill the shelves between Cybertron and the movie. Just as the [[Alternators]] line was put on hold (save for the release of Rumble and Ravage), it doesn't seem as though Hasbro will push three separate toylines (movie, Heroes, Classics) all at once. However, given the overall positive reception to the line, it is not implausible that the line will continue in the future.

There is also speculation that the 2007 BotCon exclusives may be redecos of Classics figures, potentially as well-known characters (such as a Starscream redeco as Thundercracker).

Sunstorm (G1)

2007-02-19T21:13:41Z

137.186.243.139: /* Dreamwave comics continuity */

{{disambig3|Sunstorm}}
:''Sunstorm is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.''

[[Image:Sunstormg1.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Don't call him Playskool.]]

Bright colors are nature's way of saying "Do not touch." Nature's got nothin' on '''Sunstorm'''. Come too close, and circuits will short, steel housing will begin to melt, and psyches will break as the mind struggles to comprehend.

Science would explain that his body is aflame in radiation. Sunstorm believes that he is the living embodiment of the Will of [[Primus]], placed by the divine in this universe to deal righteous judgment on the blasphemous. His judgment is swift, painful, relentless, and punctuated with the recitation of [[Covenant of Primus|Holy Writ]]. His power is only surpassed by his conviction.

==Fiction==
[[Image:Sunstorm Cartoon.jpg|left|thumb|Hey mom, I'm on TV!]]
===Animated continuity===
Sunstorm was one of the Decepticon jets on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] four million years ago. He shot at the [[Autobot]]s [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and [[Bumblebee]] when they came near, and that's about it.

''('''Note''': The character of Sunstorm was based retroactively on the orange jet (pictured at left) who appears in [[More Than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]. In the episode "[[Divide and Conquer]]", a different, all-yellow jet appears as part of a trio of Decepticon "rainmakers". Chances are, this version is not Sunstorm, even taking into consideration the haphazard coloring typically given to generic [[Seeker]]s.)

===Dreamwave comics continuity===

[[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave's]] experiments to fit a solar-powered fusion reactor into cloned Decepticon warriors reached their fruition in Sunstorm, a clone of the treacherous [[Starscream]]. Sunstorm's structure has been augmented to endure the enormous stresses involved. He was the perfect soldier; he possessed the ability to manipulate electromagnetic energy, enhanced regenerative capabilities, and a blank slate of a mind waiting to be written according to Shockwave's design.

When the Autobots took [[New Iacon]] from Shockwave, he hurriedly uploaded the compressed contents of the supercomputer [[Vector Sigma]] to multiple locations, including the hidden cloning lab near the [[Epsilon]] border where Sunstorm lay, awaiting instructions. The upload overwhelmed the lab's mainframe, spilling over into the only other available receptacle - Sunstorm. {{storylink|War and Peace}}

Fleeing the fall of New Iacon, Decepticons [[Runabout]] and [[Runamuck (G1)|Runamuck]] broke into the Epsilon lab, unaware of its importance, intending to use is as a safehouse. After Runamuck amused himself by frying the lab's [[Minispy]] attendant, the duo accidentally awakened Sunstorm, who fried them… rather badly before his scrambled programming compelled him to depart, making his way to Earth.

Flying down to [[Earth]], he tried to get Starscream to join him in his crusade, though Starscream believed his clone to be completely insane. Sunstorm battled with a number of Autobots, including [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], eventually uncovering an enormous well of energy deep below the ocean, sealed with a mechanical door bearing a Cybertronian symbol. [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and Bumblebee fought to stop him from unleashing whatever power the well held, until Jetfire, sensing that Sunstorm's internal fusion reactor was growing increasingly unstable, flew the overzealous seeker into orbit. Sunstorm's reactor went critical and exploded violently, completely obliterating both of them. {{storylink|Ascension}}

Sunstorm's almost supernatural durability was credited to his augmented molecular structure, similar to that of electrum. When [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet's]] Energy Siphon suppressed the effect, he was eaten away from within by the destructive energies of his own power source.

===Universe===
An alternate-universe version of Sunstorm was one of [[Megazarak (TFU)|Megazarak]]'s loyal inner circle. His radioactive condition was the result of an accident at the manufacturing facility during his birth.

''('''Note''': Sunstorm did not actually appear in any true ''Universe'' fiction. He was given a bio in the [[3H]] Fan Club magazine that places him as one of Megazarak's elite warriors. His bio uses the [[Generation 1]] character design for him, rather than the ''[[Universe]]'' [[Sunstorm (Universe)|Sunstorm]] toy, who is by all indications an altogether different character.)''

He was later made available for sale through the [[3H]] website. A [[repaint]] of the mold used to make Starscream and the other [[Seeker]]s in the ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' line, Sunstorm's colors are inspired by the e-Hobby toy, but given more variety in its shades of orange.

What can really be said about someone whose only idea of strategy is to smash into things with his head? In '''Ramjet's''' defense he's specifically built to survive such midair collisions and his prey most definitely is not. The strategy can be frighteningly effective, since no one expects a fighter jet to ram them. Ramjet has a tendency to regard the sky as belonging only to him, and will frequently ram even neutral or friendly targets. Though he is built to take such hits frequent collisions and crashes can still take their toll on his internal mechanisms.

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Jack Angel]] (US), [[Toshiro Ishii]] (Japan)

Ramjet had some excellent adventures during the ''Generation 1'' cartoon series.

Once, Ramjet was thrown back into the Medieval times and headbutted a knight, then participated in a jousting competition against [[Spike Witwicky|Spike]] and [[Warpath]]. Way! {{Storylink|A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court}}

Ramjet appeared to have been destroyed by [[Ultra Magnus]] in part 5 of "The Five Faces of Darkness;" however, this is highly disputable due to the animation errors that plagued Season 3.

They were defeated by [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. {{storylink|Aerialbots over America!}}

:''Mirage is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.''

[[Image:Mirageg1.jpg|thumb|300px|right|"The ship was... full."]]

'''Mirage''' is what humans call "old money." Before the war, he was a member of affluent Cybertronian society, with his own large estate and high-priced friends. He enjoyed the finer things in life: vintage [[energon]], swank evening events, and [[turbofox]] hunts on the grounds. But when the war started, he was forced to choose sides and found himself banded with a group of commoners he didn't really understand.

The other Autobots don't trust Mirage. He feels the war, even after all these millions of years, is beneath him. War is not, after all, how civilized, erudite beings conduct themselves. He often questions the Autobots' violent means, and not-so-secretly hopes they and the Decepticons can get along. Because of this, he has been labelled by a few others as a Decepticon sympathizer.

Although the details vary by continuity, Mirage has the ability to create illusions which typically either render him invisible or make him appear to be somewhere he isn't.

He sounds like [[wikipedia:Dean Martin|Dean Martin]].

''Italian name: '''Mistero''' ''

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Generation 1====
''(Note: Events from the UK-only comic stories are in italics.)''

Mirage was one of the Autobots on board the Ark when it crashed, and was subsequently reactivated in 1984. At first, Mirage was reluctant to full-on attack his Decepticon opponents, instead trying to reason with them. However, after a battle with the relentless [[Ravage]], Mirage learned that sometimes diplomacy is not an option.

[[Image:Mirageg1enemywithin.jpg|left|125px|thumb|Punk'd!]]
''During an accident on the [[Ark]], [[Brawn]] suffered an extreme neuro-shock, causing him to rebel and turn against his teammates. Mirage helped the Autobots hunt him down and tranquelize him. This same accident also amplified Mirage's ability to create illusions, which he later used to trick the Decepticons into believing that a duel between Brawn and [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] ended with Brawn's death. The Decepticons felt totally stupid.''

Long after, he was blown to pieces by [[Octane]] during an Arctic battle arranged by [[Starscream (G1)| Starscream]] and repaired in time to be destroyed again in [[New York City]] by Starscream himself (empowered by the [[Underbase]]).
[[Image:Mirageg2die.jpg|right|thumb|150px|"Got to--" '''SPOOM!''']]

====Generation 2====
Disobeying [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s orders, [[Grimlock]] led a covert team (which included Mirage) onto the [[Cybertronian Empire]] ship ''[[Twilight]]'' to defeat [[Jhiaxus]] and his army of "evolved-Decepticons." Grimlock's plan was an utter failure, ending in [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]]'s death and the Autobots' capture. Mirage was destroyed by enemy fire during the following prison break.

===Animated continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Frank Welker]] (US), [[Takurō Kitagawa]] (Japan)

Mirage was part of the bridge crew of the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' when it crash-landed on Earth four million years ago. A volcanic eruption in 1984 awakened the ''Ark'''s inhabitants, including Mirage, who was reformatted by [[Teletraan I]] to have a terrestrial alt-mode of a Formula-1 racer. With the battle against the [[Decepticon]]s now transplanted to Earth, Mirage still hated warfare. He longed to return to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and turn simply his back to the evil Decepticons, but his loyalty to Optimus Prime kept him in the fight.

Mirage was instrumental in stopping the Decepticons from returning to Cybertron after amassing enough energon from Earth. The Decepticons had constructed a new star cruiser, and were in the process of flying home to tip the scales of the war in their favor. Mirage used his cloaking ability to sneak aboard the Decepticon ship. He uncloaked and opened fire, blasting away at the ship's controls. He then bailed from the doomed cruiser, floating back to Earth's surface on a parasail as the Decepticons crashed into the ocean. [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] asked Mirage why he -- homesick and war-weary Autobot that he was -- did not hitch the ride back home. Mirage responded, affirming his loyalty to the Autobots, "The ship was... full." {{storylink|More Than Meets the Eye, Part 3}}

Mirage’s role in the Autobots’ battles on Earth was a distinctly minimal one, leaving him confined to the background on the battlefield, or not present at all. In early 1985, however, the spotlight shone on Mirage again when [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] suspected him of disloyalty. The discovery of a Decepticon installation in a sector Mirage had recently observed caused Cliffjumper to leap the incorrect conclusion that he was a traitor to the Autobots, having concealed the information. After a battle with the Decepticons, Mirage risked the trust of his comrades by sneaking away to perform a plan of his own, framing the Decepticons for stealing Energon Cubes from the Insecticons. Spotting carrying the cubes by Cliffjumper, Mirage’s guilt seemed all but confirmed, and before he could reveal his innocence, he was captured and brainwashed by one of Bombshell’s mind-controlling cerebro-shells. Under Bombshell’s control, Mirage led the Autobots into an ambush, but at the battle’s end, the assorted manipulations were revealed and Cliffjumper apologised to Mirage. {{storylink|Traitor}}

Towards the end of the year, Mirage was among the team of five Autobots who disguised themselves as the [[Stunticon]]s, with Mirage’s alternate mode making him the perfect choice to masquerade as [[Drag Strip]]. Penetrating the Decepticon camp, the Autobots ran into trouble when the real Stunticons arrived, trying to prove their identities by forming [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. With a combination of [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]]’s magnetic powers and Mirage’s illusion-creating ability, the Autobots were able to appear as Menasor too. Though the deception was soon revealed, they were still able to thwart the Decepticons’ plans. {{storylink|Masquerade}}

''(Mirage was absent from the events of 2005 and 2006 without explanation; however, a storyboarded scene from [[Transformers: The Movie]] featuring Mirage was cut from the finished film. Amidst the transformation of [[Autobot City]], Mirage was to ambush the Insecticon [[Bombshell]] and was then fired upon by Megatron. Whether or not this would have killed Mirage is not made clear, but given the film's casual bodycount, it seems highly probable.)''

====''Robot Masters'' (Japan-only)====

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
When [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] came to Earth and announced that the Autobot/Decepticon wars were over and that the two factions had been united, Mirage was one of the first to fall in with the new regime. The rest of the Autobots were wary of this development, and so a few (especially [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]]) considered Mirage a traitor.

Mirage quickly realigned himself with the Autobot cause when Shockwave's true plan was revealed, and Cliffjumper seemed to forgive him, as Mirage had saved Cliffjumper from [[Dirge]] by sneaking up on him invisibly.

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Mirage''' (Autobot Car, 1984/1986/1991)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''07'''
[[Image:G1Mirage_toy.jpg|left|thumb|Oh yeah, I see these driving down the road all the time.]]

: Mirage was part of the original 1984 Autobot car assortment. His mold was originally used for a ''[[Diaclone]]'' F-1 Ligier JS-11 racer. The toy was specifically designed to work with the launcher mechanism contained in the Optimus Prime / Battle Convoy trailer. This toy is easily broken at the waist piviot. The labels on the toy are references to several real world company. The largest name, Citanes, is a deliberate corruption of Gitanes, a French cigaratte company (quite unusual for a child's toy, but not the only cigarette reference in ''Diaclone''). The toy included Gitanes' logo of a dancing gypsy woman on what ends up as Mirage's belt in robot form. "Ligier" is the name of the company that manufactures the car type, while "elf" is a reference to a French oil company that has since merged with TotalFina to become TotalFinaElf.

: Hasbro and/or Takara have announced that the mold for Mirage is either lost or damaged, so a reissue is unlikely. Mirage was also included in the 1986 ''Good Bye Convoy'' giftset; this was the final release of the mold, making Mirage the only one of the original Autobots to not have been reissued in some form.

===Generation 2===
* '''Mirage''' (Go-Bot, 1995)

: Mirage was released in 1995 as a black and yellow recolor of the [[Go-Bot]] [[Double Clutch (G2)|Double Clutch]]. He was also planned to be released as a flipchanger, but the ''Generation 2'' line was cancelled to make way for ''[[Beast Wars]]''. The unreleased mold was first used in ''[[Machine Wars]]''.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Mirage (RID)|Mirage]].

===Machine Wars===
* '''Mirage''' (Basic, 1997)
[[Image:Mwmirage.jpg|left|thumb|Gah! I'm teal! Somebody recolor me, please!]]

: Mirage's form in ''[[Machine Wars]]'' transforms into an blue and white Formula racer. Like the other Machine Wars basics, the toy is a flipchanger (having a one-step spring-loaded transformation), and his weapons are hidden in his alt mode. Unlike most of the ''Machine Wars'' toys, the head looks very similar to his G1 form. This is because the mold was originaly designed as Mirage for ''[[Generation 2]]''.

: This mold was also used to make [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and [[Skid-Z (RID)|Skid-Z]].
{{-}}

[[Image:RMRijie_toy.jpg|right|thumb|130px|Phew. Thanks.]]
===Robot Masters===
* '''Rijie''' (Basic, 2004)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''RM-03'''

: This toy used the ''Machine Wars'' mold, but in much more [[Generation 1]] colors.

: Because of legal reasons, "Ligier" could not be used for the name of the ''Robot Masters'' toy, so "Rijie", which has the same pronuciation in Japan, was used instead. Curiously, the toy's instructions still identify it as "Ligier".

===Alternators===
* '''Mirage''' (Alternator, 2006)
[[Image:AlternatorsMirage_toy.jpg|left|thumb|200px|This toy is clearly black, red, and silver. You're just deluding yourself.]]

: ''[[Alternators]]'' Mirage transforms into a finely detailed 1:24 scale replica of a Ford GT, featuring opening doors, engine bay and trunk, with a realistic interior. As with most Alternators, his car body is mostly unpainted, but the metallic-flake deep blue plastic makes this hard to see.

: Featuring an innovatively different robot mode, Mirage is not a straight re-interpretation of the original Mirage's robot mode, due to the completely different types of vehicles. But coincidentally the Ford GT's hood features a shape that echoes a F1-type racing car's nose and front spoiler. His engine's turbocharger forms two seperate hand guns.

: Mirage was never released in Japan under the ''[[Binaltech]]'' line, but was redecoed into [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rodimus]] for the [[Kiss Players]] line.

===Universe===
*'''Mirage''' (Spy Changer, 2006)

: For ''[[Universe]]'', Mirage is identical to the last Kay-Bee [[exclusive]] redeco of [[Robots in Disguise (television series)| Robots In Disguise]] [[Mirage (RID)|Mirage]], transforming into a translucent green Lola Indy car. He was available only on an individual card from discount chains like The Dollar Store.

===Classics===
*'''Mirage''' (Classics Deluxe, 2006)
[[Image:X_Mirage2.JPG|right|thumb|120px|Applied to Revoltech club; rejected.]]

:''Classics'' Mirage was released in November 2006 in wave 2, along with the [[shortpacked]] [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. He transforms into a closed-canopy Formula racer concept car. Mirage's paint details contain a few ''Transformers'' injokes in the form of sponsor logos such as "[[Sparkplug Witwicky|Witwicky Sparkplugs]]" and "[[Lithone|Lithonian]] Drivetrain." Additionally, his racing number is still 26, as it was on the original toy. Other logos, which include "Plasma Injection Energy" and "F.P. Racing," refer to "pie" and the initials of [[Kyde|the deco artist's]] super-secret non-gay friendship cult, respectively.

:His robot mode is a lithe upgrade to his original form, now capable of a wide range of motion. The front detaches to become a handheld electro-disruptor weapon which is said to be able to create illusions and allow him to appear invisible. (This is a reconciliation of Mirage's illusion-creation ability from his original tech spec profile and his invisibility power from the animated series.)

Devastator (G1)

2007-01-27T02:19:46Z

137.186.243.139: /* Dreamwave comics continuity */

{{disambig3|Devastator}}

:''Devastator is a [[Decepticon]] [[combiner]] from the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.''

[[Image:DevastatorManga1.jpg|right|300px|thumb|He devastates things. Devastates them right in the mouth.]]

'''Devastator''' is an immensely powerful warrior, and in that sense the combination of the [[Constructicon]]s into a merged being is a huge success. Mentally, on the other hand, he's very much less than the sum of his parts. Devastator's primitive psyche is limited to only the thoughts and actions on which all his components can agree, which results in raging bouts of destructive fury. Given the sheer power Devastator brings to these rages, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] has no complaints.

Nominally he is composed of the six robots...

*[[Scrapper|Scrapper (Leader)]]
*[[Hook]]
*[[Bonecrusher (G1)|Bonecrusher]]
*[[Long Haul (G1)|Long Haul]]
*[[Mixmaster]]
*[[Scavenger (G1)|Scavenger]]

:''Japanese name:'' '''Devastar'''<br>
:''French-Canadian name:'' '''Dévastateur'''

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
====Generation 1 cartoon====
:''Voice Actor:'' [[Arthur Burghardt]] (US), [[Seizō Katō]] (Japan)

The Constructicons did not initially have the power to merge into Devastator. That ability was given to them by Megatron after he warped their minds into servitude with the [[robo-smasher]].

Millions of years later, in 1984, Megatron had the Constructicons built on Earth to steal high-tech electronic components for his [[Power chip rectifier]] furnace, as well as tunelling under the [[Ark]] to destroy [[Teletraan I]]. Teletraan I, sensing the imminent danger, activated the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. The Dinobots responded and started pounding on the Constructicons, opening up a lava channel in the process. The battle not going in their favor, the Constructicons pulled out one last trick and combined into the super warrior, Devastator.

The returning Autobots saw the battle, but were unable to help (due to losing a tournament which prevented them from interfering with the Decepticons). Inside the Ark, Teletraan-I was able to show that Megatron had cheated and the Autobots rushed outside to help the Dinobots. Distracted by one of [[Hound (G1)|Hound]]’s holograms, Devastator was shot by Optimus Prime and fell apart into the lava. {{Storylink|Heavy Metal War}}.

Devastator was continuously called upon during battle for many years to come. Some of his adventures include scaling the Empire State Building like King Kong, helping [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]] and [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] build their solar tower, being brainwashed by [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]'s [[dominator disk]]s into serving the Autobots and pummeling the Dinobots again during the battle of [[Autobot City]].

====''The Transformer'' manga====

===''Zone'' OVA and manga===
'''Voice Actor:''' [[Hirohiko Kakegawa]] (Japan)

[[Image:DevastatorZone1.jpg|right|150px|thumb|PHALLIC!]]

''(Devastator is referred to as one of the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]]. This terminology, coupled with the presence of the previously deceased [[Black Zarak]] in their ranks and [[Violen Jygar]]'s supernatural origins, could mean that Devastator died previously to Zone and was likewise brought back to life. However, this is unconfirmed, meaning that Violen Jygar may have simply recruited the still-living Devastator to be a General.)''

Devastator was selected by [[Violen Jygar]] as one of his 9 Decepticon Demon-Generals. Gifted with a new bitchin' drill-weapon and armor, Violen Jygar sent Devastator to the [[Earth]] to steal the [[Zodiac]] before the Autobots could get it. Devastator drilled deep within the planet, reaching the Zodiac's chamber, and went toe-to-toe with [[Dai Atlas]]. He managed to get the Zodiac first and pass it off to [[King Poseidon]]. Devastator had the upper hand in battle until Dai Atlas opened a vein of hot lava upon the Decepticon. Devastator was washed-away in the molten magma, apparantly killed by it.

Along the way, he demolished the World Trade Center. That terrorist scum.

===Marvel Comics continuity===

===Dreamwave comics continuity===

After Megatron freed the other Decepticons from [[Adam Rook]]'s control, he sent Devastator down the west coast of North America. Along the way, Devastator destroyed a US Navy submarine, before arriving at his destination, San Francisco.

Devastator helped destroy the city until he was initially stopped by [[Superion]], and finally put into stasis lock when [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] shot him point-blank in the head. His fate was left unconfirmed, but he was last seen falling to the bottom of the sea, so it is likely that he was put into terminal stasis.

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Devastator''' (Giftset, 1985)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-37'''
[[Image:G1devastator_toy.jpg|right|thumb|125px|I was here first, Scramble-boy!]]

: Normally, Devastator could only be assembled by buying all six individual Constructicons with the additional large-scale weapons components that were assigned to them. However, six-robot gift sets were made available in many markets, including the US, Japan, and several European countries.

: Devastor's forearms are also spring-loaded missile launchers, able to fire his fists as well as his drill attachments. He also comes armed with a large purple laser rifle.

: Unlike the later [[Scramble City]]-style combiners, Devastator's limbs cannot be rearranged into any other configuations.

*'''Devastator with Scorpulator''' (Action Master, 1990)

[[Image:ActionMaster_Devastor.gif|left|thumb|150px|Dinkystator]]

: A non-transforming action figure compatible with any other [[Action Master]] vehicle or accessory, Devastator's sculpt is a combination of the original animation model and several more toy-based elements. He came with his small animal partner [[Scorpulator]].

===Generation 2===
*'''Devastator''' (1993)
[[Image:G2Devastator_toy.jpg|right|thumb|100px|Yellow, but not mellow.]]

: During ''[[Generation 2]]'', the Constructicons were only available as individuals, never as a giftset. The team was released in two different colors, initially in yellow, then later in bright orange. All individual members are tampographed with the G2 Decepticon symbol and the words 'Decepticon'.

:Other than colour scheme and the lack of [[rubsign]]s, G2 Devastator is functionally identical to the original release.

===Classics===
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Multi-pack, 2007)
[[Image:Devastatorclassics.jpg|left|thumb|100px|And then there were five.]]

: For ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'', Devastator is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' combiner [[Constructicon Maximus]]. He was available only in a full five-pack, [[exclusive]] to Wal-Mart stores.

: Since the original combiner contains only five robots, the Constructicon team here contains only [[Bonecrusher (G1)|Bonecrusher]], [[Hightower (Classics)|Hightower]] (who may or may not be related to [[Hook]] and/or [[Mixmaster]] as his bio seems to combine attributes of both), [[Long Haul (G1)|Long Haul]], [[Scavenger (G1)|Scavenger]] and [[Scrapper]]. Also, because of the combination method used, he can also use any of the ''Energon''-series limb-robots.

==Merchandise==
*'''Devastator''' (Bust, 2003)
[[Image:Devastatorbust.jpg|right|thumb|I BEND METAL BAR FOR FOOD.]]

==Trivia==
* Though a yellow version of the Constructicons were released in the European market at the tail end of Generation 1, they did not come with any of the parts to form Devastator. In fact, [[Scavenger (G1)|Scavenger]] and [[Hook]] had the connector parts on their actual toys removed.

* It has been rumored that the orange ''Generation 2'' Constructions were a Kay-Bee Toys exclusive, but this is unconfirmed.

Wreckers

2007-01-27T02:10:28Z

137.186.243.139: /* Dreamwave comics continuity */

[[Image:Wreckers symbol.png|180px|right|Wreck & Rule]]

:''The Wreckers are an [[Autobot|Autobots]] combat unit in the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.''

The '''Wreckers''' are a special task force, generally composed of the best and the toughest die-hard fighters around. The Wreckers tend to be a close-knit combat unit that considers themselves the best of the best. They're often called in to fight when the odds of success are slim.

== Marvel Comics continuity ==
The Wreckers were introduced in UK continuity (neither the team, nor any of its members really appeared in the US stories) during the ''Target: 2006'' storyline. They were originally led by an Autobot named [[Impactor]], who was succeeded by Springer.

'''Known Members:'''

* [[Impactor]] (leader, deceased)
* [[Springer]] (leader)
* [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]]
* [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]]
* [[Rack'n'Ruin]]
* [[Roadbuster]]
* [[Sandstorm (G1) (Autobot)|Sandstorm]]
* [[Topspin]]
* [[Twin Twist]]
* [[Whirl]]

After the team's decimation during the events of [[Time Wars]] the survivors joined together with other "outsiders" both Autobot and and Decepticon to form the (aptly named) [[Survivors]].

==''Universe: The Wreckers'' comics==
The Wreckers were still, by tradition, considered an [[Autobot]] force, despite being on Maximal-era [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], and accepted even [[Decepticon]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s into their ranks following the takeover of Cybertron by [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] and his [[Vehicon]] armies.

'''Known Members:'''

* [[Apelinq]]
* [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]]
* [[CatSCAN]]
* [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]
* [[Devcon]]
* [[Dillo]]
* [[Fractyl]]
* [[Mol]]
* [[Packrat]]
* [[Primal Prime]]
* [[Ramulus]]
* [[Rav]]
* [[Hot Rod|Rodimus]]
* [[Ramulus]]
* [[Rotorbolt (Universe)|Rotorbolt]]
* [[Sentinel Maximus]]
* [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]
* [[Sonar (BW)|Sonar]]
* [[Spittor]]
* [[Tigatron]]

== Dreamwave comics continuity ==
The Wreckers split from the Autobot forces after the disappearance of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] in a [[space bridge]] explosion. Led by Springer, they clashed with [[Ratbat]]'s [[Ultracon]]s in the [[Tagan Heights]] for a time before reuniting with the Autobots and the [[Lightning-Strike-Coalition]] immediately prior to the [[Age of Internment]].

'''Known Members:'''

* [[Springer]] (leader)
* [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]]
* [[Roadbuster]]
* [[Sandstorm (G1) (Autobot)|Sandstorm]]
* [[Topspin]]
* [[Twin Twist]]
* [[Whirl]]

Later on, during Shockwave's reign on Cybertron, the Wreckers were a small but elite task force of Autobots dedicated to keeping the peace wherever (and however) necessary.

'''Members'''

* [[Ultra Magnus]] (leader)
* [[Topspin]]
* [[Twin Twist]]
* [[Roadbuster]]
* [[Whirl]]

When the [[Stunticons]] were released from imprisonment in Cybertron's detention banks, the Wreckers responded in kind. This, however, was after [[Menasor]] had already wiped out the [[Omnibots]] and defeated [[Defensor]]. In the battle, both Whirl and Roadbust were killed before Ultra Magnus took charge and brought Menasor down.

== IDW comics continuity ==

''"Of '''course''' it's a lost cause. That's why we're '''here!'''" - Springer''

The Wreckers are the Autobots who get called in when the odds of success are nonexistent, but the job needs to be done anyway. Assigned to [[Varas Centralus]] after the Decepticon infiltration on that planet went to Phase Six, they were pulled out and sent back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] at the order of [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)|Optimus Prime]] when the Autobot leader suspected that [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] may have been behind the disappearance of the [[Calabi-Yau]].

The Wreckers arrived just in time to save [[Nosecone]] and [[Afterburner (G1)|Afterburner]]. They then proceeded to take [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s team apart without breaking a sweat.

'''Known Members:'''

* [[Springer]] (leader)
* [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]]
* [[Roadbuster]]
* [[Sandstorm (G1) (Autobot)|Sandstorm]]
* [[Scoop]]
* [[Topspin]]
* [[Twin Twist]]
* [[Whirl]]
