The '''Ultimate Weapon''' is a cipher. An [[wikipedia:Barack_Obama|indeterminate unknown]] amid a field of [[wikipedia:Unknown_unknown|known knowns]] that [[wikipedia:Schrödinger's_cat|simultaneously embodies and fails to embody]] our hopes and dreams / fears and anxieties until proven to/not-to.

''It requires 2 AA batteries.''

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
Seeking to take advantage of [[Rodimus Prime (G1)|Rodimus Prime's]] unrelenting <strike>[[wikipedia:Emo_(slang)|emo-ness]]</strike> self-doubt, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] created a box with [[Gimmicks|blinking lights]] [[Playskool|and sounds]] and claimed it was a weapon capable of destroying [[Earth]].

Galvatron hoped that the Ultimate Weapon's ''unknown'' nature would cause Rodimus to project all his anxieties and insecurities onto it. Instead the Ultimate Weapon helped Rodimus to conquer his doubts by externalizing them. Since logic dictated that if Galvatron ''had'' an Ultimate Weapon he would have used it long ago... the weapon had to be a fake. He had been coddling his own insecurities.

Rodimus observed that the ''real'' Ultimate Weapon was ''the mind''.

Galvatron, pissed off, broke his toy and ran away.

Spontaneous recoloration

141.225.195.169: /* Permanent recoloration */

{{quote|In some cases, the extreme power surge during Powerlinking can result in temporary or even permanent discoloration of a Transformer's metallic skin.|"Powerlink Process"|[[More Than Meets the Eye (Armada)|More Than Meets The Eye: Armada]]}}

'''Spontaneous recoloration''' refers to the temporary or permanent alternation of a [[Transformer]]'s [[exostructure]], usually in response to an energy surge. Usually (but not always) this external color change signifies a higher energy-state within the Transformer's body accompanied by increased (or even entirely new)<ref>Such as [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream's]] Null Beam Cannon in the [[Energon (Energon)|Energon]] episode [[Wishes]].</ref> abilities.

Spontaneous recoloration is similar to [[reformatting]]. ''Unlike'' reformatting, which wreaks wholesale physical alterations to the transformer's physical form, recoloring is completely cosmetic.

For unknown reasons, spontaneous recoloration does not uniformly re-tint existing surface pigments, but may result in completely different color arrangements, or even add entirely new "badass" detailing, such as flames or racing stripes.

Recoloration should not be confused with surface coatings such as [[Electrum]] or a [[silver coat]].

* [[Prowl (RID)|Prowl]]
* [[X-Brawn]]
* [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]]

* [[Lioconvoy|The Green Warrior]]

* ... What's a "Frankenstein Rake"? Do they mean a pitchfork? [[User:Fulcrum|Fulcrum]] 19:26, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

The term "Frankenstein rake" comes from Sam & Max, IIRC. It refers to those rakes that are held by the angry mob in Frankenstein alongside the torches and pitchforks.--[[User:Speedbreaker|Speedbreaker]] 11:29, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Aren't the 'energon chips' better known as energon stars? In fact, energon chip redirects to energon star, a more common term for the items. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 03:52, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

== US exclusive Energon weapons ==
Shouldn't the 2007 movie's Target-exclusive energon weapons be added to this? One batch was smoke colored, and another was a nearly-opaque (and nearly black) extra dark grey.
* Spear
** Air Raid (near black), movie Skyblast (translucent smoke colored)
* Axe
** Movie Strongarm (yellowish smoke colored), Crosshairs (smoke colored)
* Shield and radar dish
** movie Signal Flare (opaque gray)
* Crossbow
** Arcee (smoke colored), Elita-One (near black)
