Talk:Thunderwing (G1)

145.74.83.180: /* Megadeath? */

This is my first article for Wikipedia, so be mindful of that before you say hurtful things about poor grammar and/or spelling. That said, critisisms are welcome.

The content appears fine (if lacking in both his UK appearances, and a brief is needed on his Matrix Affinity, which is what set him apart.)
the language is too informal/not detached enough for Wiki standards though. Also, calling US#75 'The Unicron Battle' is unnecessarily confusing, because the term has nother connotations in continuity.[User:Derik]

Truth be told, I don't have the issue with the Unicron Battle in it (I only have two of the Titan Book reproductions), so I wasn't sure what number it was. Let alone the actual title of the story, so I just went with something generic enough to tell when it happened.

But thanks for the comments.

== revisions ==

I took your comments to heart and rewrote a heavy portion of the article. It's not quite Barns & Noble-Quality, but now it doesn't sound so much like the insane ramblings of a Decepticon fanboy.

Also, I discovered that it helps if you actually reread the comics in question before you set out to do something like this.
The more you know, eh?

As for the UK comics thing, I honestly had no idea. As far as I was concerned, he was created for the Matrix Quest, spent a good chunk of time deceased, then failed to kill Unicron. So any amount of lore regarding the T-Man is outside my knowledge.

== Megadeath? ==

The article is already written -- [[Megadeath (G1)|Megadeath]] -- and just needs to be fitted into the framework the author's got here... [[User:82.45.64.176|82.45.64.176]] 17:08, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

==Fiction order?==
Shouldn't the Armada section come before IDW, since it came out before IDW's take? --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 19:37, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
:Yes. It should. I'd fix it but there's a 90% chance I'll just end up on an edit conflict with Walky. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 19:41, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Nice choice, Thy! That picture looks terrific. --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 13:39, 12 July 2010 (EDT)

== Generations Instructions ==
''Thunderwing's instructions depict him with Black Shadow's head and chest, revealing an eventual retool that still has not been officially announced.''

Interestingly, mine didn't. In fact, I can see where they changed the pictures so that it's Thunderwing's head in the instructions like a running change. Maybe they're not going with the remold after all.[[User:Riddlerj|Riddlerj]] 20:18, 16 January 2011 (EST)
:Or maybe they just pulled a change so the instructions remain recognizable? The chest on the Hasbro online instructions still show Black Shadow's chest. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 20:30, 16 January 2011 (EST)

Alpha Trion/Generation 1

:''Alpha Trion is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Alphatrionkhanna.jpg|right|228px|thumb|If Alpha Trion were a Decepticon, you KNOW he would stroke his beard while contemplating conquest. You know it.]]
'''Alpha Trion''' is one of the oldest living Transformers, and with that age comes a nuanced understanding of his race and their place within the universe. In his youth, he went by the name '''A3''', and in this time, he helped lead the enslaved Cybertronians in their rebellion against their cruel masters, the [[Quintesson]]s. As a result, he was instrumental in first establishing [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] as an independent planet.

In his older years, he has found a comfortable role in serving as advisor to other Transformers. Though not taking part in the battles of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], he is firmly on the side of the Autobots, serving as a mentor and guide, especially to [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Elita One]]. He is an enigmatic old robot, though he is known to be the guardian of [[Vector Sigma]] and the custodian of its [[Key to Vector Sigma|circuit key]]. His sage-like manner paints him in almost a mystic tone, and possible connections between Alpha Trion, [[Primus]], and the history of Cybertron itself have boosted him into legendary status.

{{note| In 2010 Hasbro introduced a [[retcon]] naming Alpha Trion as a member of the [[Thirteen original Transformers]], and thus a likely [[Multiversal singularity|multiversal singularity]] (meaning, basically, that all Alpha Trions in the [[multiverse]] would be the same individual). Due to the lengthy histories many of these incarnations (especially this one) had prior to the retcon we have opted to leave their pages as separate entities, and merely note the retcon on each individual page. For the Alpha Trion that is definitively one of the 13 see: [[Alpha Trion (Prime)]]}}

===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
''Voice actors:'' [[John Stephenson]] (English), [[Corey Burton]] (English, "[[War Dawn]]"), [[Tony Pope]] (English, "[[Forever Is a Long Time Coming]]"), [[Osamu Saka]] (Japanese), [[Toshiro Ishii]] (Japanese, "War Dawn"), [[Hiroshi Naka]] (Japanese, ''The Rebirth'' only)

[[Image:YoungA3.jpg|left|thumb|Silverbolt never misses a chance to check out A3's rugged mustache.]]
11 million years ago, a mechanoid named A3 was part of the [[Autobot Rebellion|rebellion]] against the [[Quintesson]]s on a [[Cybertron (planet)|factory world]], creating a device called the [[Coda Remote]] that would stop their [[Dark Guardian]]s. Due to a timerift created by Quintessons from the future, he was briefly pulled from his position in the [[Empty Lands]] into the year 2006. Fortunately, his partner [[Beta (G1)|Beta]] managed to start the rebellion as scheduled, and A3 was soon returned by future [[Autobot]]s to fulfill his role in Cybertronian history. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

[[Image:Alphatrionagesbackwards.jpg|right|thumb|He grew a beard, picked up the Matrix, shaved his beard, and then built Optimus, apparently.]]
Years later, he would be given the [[Matrix of Leadership]] by the dying [[U-Haul Robot|Sentinel Prime]], but Alpha Trion himself did not become Autobot leader. It would sit in his possession, unused, until the coming of the next Autobot leader. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} In the meantime, Alpha Trion developed plans to rebuild Autobots to better combat the escalating [[Decepticon]] menace.

The next Autobot leader would actually come to ''him'' when a [[Aerialbot (G1)|group of time-travelers]] lugged a dying youth named Orion Pax to his repair center. Reluctant at first, Alpha Trion sensed a strong spirit in Orion Pax, and decided to rebuild him entirely... into [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]. When Prime asked if Alpha Trion could rebuild his fallen girlfriend Ariel as well, Alpha Trion agreed, and mused that [[Elita One]] would be a good name for a female warrior. {{storylink|War Dawn}}

[[Image:AlphaTrion.jpg|left|thumb|"Yes, she is a girl."]]

Over the intervening millennia, Alpha Trion's two greatest creations, whether by design or coincidence, forgot their relationship to the ancient Autobot. Five million years after his creation, Optimus Prime was lost when his spacecraft crash-landed on prehistoric Earth, but Alpha Trion kept in contact with Elita One, acting as a sagely advisor to her team of [[Female Autobots]] as they spent the following four million years stealing [[energon (fuel)|energon]] from [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. Eventually, in the Earth year 1985, Shockwave caught the Female Autobots in the act and tracked them back to their headquarters, prompting Elita One to consult with Alpha Trion on a course of action. Trion suggested they move their headquarters, telling Elita to scout for a new location alone, but in the event that she encountered the Decepticons, warned her not to use her life-draining time-freezing power. Alas, Elita was captured, and used by the Decepticons to lure Optimus Prime into a trap. To save her beloved's life, Elita used her fatal power, and the Autobot leader was forced to track Alpha Trion to his secret base in hopes that he could save her. Alpha Trion repaired her to the best of his ability, but revealed to Optimus Prime that only Prime could save Elita by interfacing to her with his power filter. An astonished Optimus Prime stated that only his creator could know that! {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}

[[Image:Ktvs prime and trion.jpg|right|thumb]]

A short time later, while he was looking for a [[10.2 ultra-drill|misplaced tool]], Alpha Trion was attacked in his workshop by Megatron and his Decepticons, who demanded that he hand over the [[Key to Vector Sigma]]. Trion pled ignorance, but Megatron knew better, and the elderly Autobot was soon overpowered while the Decepticons made off with the key. Alpha Trion was rescued from the chunk of metal the Decepticons left him stuck in by Optimus Prime and the Autobots, and after his injuries were repaired by [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], he journeyed with them into Cybertron's depths, leading the way to Vector Sigma's chamber. Their way, however, was barred by [[Centurion droid]]s that Megatron used the Key to command, and Alpha Trion helped reactivate some discarded worker robots to fight the droids off. The droids had done their job, however, and prevented the Autobots from reaching Megatron before he used Vector Sigma to bring his newest Decepticons, the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] to life. To combat these new land-based Decepticons, Optimus Prime hit on the idea of creating some new aerial Autobots, and Alpha Trion set to work reconstructing some Cybertronian aircraft. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}} When the work was done, Alpha Trion professed that he had another key to Vector Sigma "on him," and he would use it to reactivate the computer so that it could bring the jets to life. His "key," however, was his own life force: as a first generation product of Vector Sigma, his computation matrix could interface with the computer and bring it back online, at the cost of his own continued existence. Optimus Prime tried to stop him, but Alpha Trion refused to listen, reminding Prime that he was his creator and insisting that the jets were more important that he was. Prime relented, and Alpha Trion merged with Vector Sigma, which activated and brought the new [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] to life. Before Prime and the Autobots departed for Earth, Alpha Trion spoke to them through Vector Sigma, warning them of a fact merging with the computer had revealed to him: on Earth, the Key to Vector Sigma had even greater power. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}

Many years later, when the [[Hate Plague]] was raging throughout the universe in the year 2006, Optimus Prime entered the Matrix to consult the ancient Autobots within on a possible cure. Alpha Trion was the first Prime spoke to, but he had no information to give, save a warning that Prime should take care on his journey into the Matrix, lest he be unable to return. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2}}

The following year, after the Decepticons stole the [[Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber]], Optimus Prime used the Matrix to reactivate Vector Sigma so that he could converse with Alpha Trion, hoping that the old sage knew something more about what was going on. Alpha Trion revealed to Prime that Vector Sigma had ''allowed'' [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] to become aware of the key's existence, as the chamber was key to the dawning of a new [[Golden Age]] for Cybertron... as was the merging of an [[Cerebros (G1)|Autobot]]'s life with that of a [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|human]]'s. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}}

====Japanese cartoon continuity====
{{note|The events of the Generation 1 cartoon occur in the Japanese timeline as described above, except that the events of 2006 take place instead in 2010, and "The Rebirth" does not occur. Japanese continuity inserts many additional stories into the timeline, only one of which features Alpha Trion.}}
=====''The Headmasters'' cartoon=====
[[Image:AlphaTrionGhost.jpg|right|thumb|Alpha Trion's Spooooooky Ghost]]
In the year 2011, one year after Optimus Prime released the energy of the Matrix to cure the Hate Plague, Vector Sigma began to destabilize as a result. Optimus Prime voyaged into the planet's depths to try and bring the computer back under control, but the mission seemed doomed to failure, as he did not have the Matrix to help him. While the other Autobots searched Earth for the Matrix, which had been hidden away to recharge, the spectral form of Alpha Trion appeared to Optimus Prime to help lead him through the many dangers blocking the path to Vector Sigma's chamber. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} When they finally reached their goal, however, it turned out the Decepticons had beaten them there. [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] was not far behind, with the recovered Matrix in his grasp, and when the young Autobot arrived, Alpha Trion instructed him to hold the talisman aloft. Trion's ethereal form flowed into the Matrix, completing its recharging process and transforming Hot Rod back into Rodimus Prime, who joined Optimus is thrashing the Decepticons. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}}{{-}}

===''Universe'' comic===
[[Image:Alphatrionwreckers.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Alpha Trion was a lion for all of two seconds.]]
Alpha Trion was seemingly resurrected and/or reformatted as a lion by the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]] to guide [[Primal Prime]] and his [[Wrecker|Wreckers]] in much the same way as he aided many previous Autobot leaders. {{storylink|Departure}} It is unclear whether this new form ever existed physically; its only appearance was as a vision in Primal Prime's head. {{storylink|Betrayal}}

[[Image:Alphatrionuniverse.jpg|right|150px|thumb|You know, screw this lion thing.]]
However, he did not make an appearance after this enigmatic reintroduction until [[Unicron]] posed a new threat to the balance of the multiverse. Alpha Trion, though technically still merged with [[Primus]]/[[Vector Sigma]]/Whatever, was again in his original body (but now with a cape!). He/they pulled Cybertron's greatest hero, [[Optimus Primal]], back from the dead in order to rescue recently abducted Cybertronians from the center of the Chaos Bringer. {{storylink|Abduction}}

When Primal succeeded at this monumental task, {{storylink|Escape (issue)|Escape}} he confronted the [[Maximal Elders]] with one of his overblown speeches and was thrown in jail. Alpha Trion sent [[Snarl (BM)|Snarl]] to stage a small rescue of his own, and Primal was returned to the center of Cybertron. Here, Alpha Trion presented Primal with a window into the past, present, and future of the [[Allspark]], from which he could pluck any warrior, whether they be living or dead. Primal chose [[Depth Charge (BW)|Depthcharge]] and [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]], the former of whom rejected Primal's calling. Alpha Trion quieted Primal's disappointment, letting Depthcharge go, expecting him to return of his own accord. To take his place, Alpha Trion pulled [[Omega Prime]] from the ''[[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' universe. {{storylink|Homecoming (issue)|Homecoming}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
[[Image:Alphatriondw.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Most people kill their prizes before hanging them on their wall. Shockwave is not most people.]]
Eons ago, Alpha Trion kept watch over the Transformers when Primus entered his eternal sleep to hide Cybertron from Unicron. However, a nomadic alien race eventually conquered Cybertron, and Alpha Trion was forced into hiding. Thousands of Transformers were slaughtered, and Alpha Trion was unable to act. {{storylink|Transformers: The Ultimate Guide}} What exactly happened afterwards is unknown, but it is implied that Alpha Trion eventually drove the invaders off Cybertron.

Alpha Trion was last seen hanging on [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s wall. This was meant to be very important to the huge, over-arching plot of the entire universe, but odds are we'll never learn why. {{storylink|War and Peace}}

[[Image:Historyofcybertron.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Trukk... and munky?]]
When [[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]] downloaded some of [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]'s memories, he saw Alpha Trion and his role in the [[Cybertronian Civil Wars#G1 cartoon continuity|rebellion]] against the [[Quintesson]]s. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 1|The Art of War #1}}
{{-}}

===IDW comics continuity===
[[Image:MO3 EOOPAT funeral.jpg|left|thumb|250px]]
Alpha Trion attended the funerals of [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]] and [[Fastback (G1)|Fastback]], accompanied by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Orion Pax]], [[Elita One|Ariel]], and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}}

Several million [[units of time|meta-cycles]] later, Alpha Trion found himself the last Transformer on Cybertron, working to restore the planet after it had been rendered virtually uninhabitable by normal Transformers. The isolation evidently did not do the wise old Autobot any good, as he seemed to have more than a few screws loose and had become tremendously self-aggrandizing by the year 2010.

[[Image:Ironing Out the Details Alpha Trion.jpg|right|thumb|Metal beards are ridiculous! But ''cloth'' beards are super okay.]]
Operating out of [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], Trion spent "dozens of meta-cycles" processing the corrosive elements out of Cybertron's atmosphere, slowly making it habitable again, but was still faced with the problem of the monstrous [[Insecticon swarm]] that had overrun the planet. Requiring the toughest of the tough to obliterate the swarm, Alpha Trion selected [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] to do the job. That Ironhide was across the galaxy on Earth mattered little: Ironhide would eventually die some day, Trion rationalized, and so he built a duplicate body on Cybertron into which he could implant Ironhide's spark and memories once he passed on and returned to the "[[Allspark|core]]". With Vector Sigma having been essentially erased in the event that devastated Cybertron, this took Alpha Trion years and pushed his skills to their limit, but once Ironhide died on Earth in 2010, the ancient Autobot's grand work was complete, and Ironhide returned to life on Cybertron in the new body constructed for him. {{storylink|Any Old Iron}}

Ironhide awoke in confusion, his memories incomplete due to damage he had suffered millions of years beforehand that had disrupted his link to the core, and wandered Cybertron's wastes until Alpha Trion dispatched his [[Scamper|page]] to bring the befuddled warrior to the city-mode Metroplex. Alpha Trion took umbrage at the fact Ironhide had never heard of his ancient greatness, and revealed his incredible powers over his own electromagnetic aura by using it to control Ironhide's actions when the ornery Autobot started to get a little rough. Ironhide further tested Trion's patience when he ignored his cautions and ventured out to track down the near-dead [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] (even if Sunstreaker ''had'' heard of him). Finally, Trion relented to Ironhide's constant questioning and explained the reason he had brought him back online: to exterminate the swarm. {{storylink|Ironing Out the Details}} While Ironhide took out of most of the swarm in a brutal battle, Trion busied himself repairing Sunstreaker. After Ironhide returned, Trion announced that he and Metroplex were leaving Cybertron for parts unknown while Ironhide mopped up the remaining Insecticons. Infuriated by the old 'bots condescending attitude, Ironhide slugged him one, but Alpha Trion let it slide, putting Ironhide in his place by telling him he was just a small playing piece in a very large game. Before departing, however, Alpha Trion softened, congratulating Ironhide on saving the entire planet. After all, the only other Autobot would could make that claim... was he. {{storylink|Any Old Iron}}

[[Image:Alphalion.jpg|right|300px|thumb|You'll never own me.]]
A redeco of [[Snarl (BM)|''Beast Machines'' Snarl]] was planned as Alpha Trion for the [[The Official Transformers Collectors Convention|OTFCC]] ''[[Universe (2003 comic)|Wreckers]]'' storyline, but this concept never made it past the paint mock-up stage.

A redecoed [[Lio Convoy]] was also considered by [[3H Productions|3H]] for Alpha Trion around the same time, and it was sort of this version that briefly appeared in the comic book (see above). Though the toy [[Prototype|mock-up]] used Snarl, 3H hoped they could finagle the use of the Lio Convoy mold. "Alpha Lion"'s wireframe appearance in [[Departure|''Wreckers'' #1]] used Lio Convoy's body, but Snarl's head, hopefully allowing 3H to fudge either way, should they come to a decision. They didn't!

===Super Collection Figure===
* '''Alpha Trin''' (2002)

: A three-inch-tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Alpha Trion was available in "Act 8" of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full-color figure and a metallic-silver "pewter" version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures. Additionally, the pewter version of Alpha Trion came packaged with the left leg of the [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] collectible "build-a-figure".

: Alpha Trion was not among the ''Super Collection Figures'' brought over to the West for [[Hasbro]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' line.

==Notes==
* Alpha Trion is one of the very few Cybertronians to show signs of aging and [[Facial hair|hair growth]].
* According to a note in Japan's ''[[Comic Bom Bom]]'' magazine, A3 was the first successful Cybertronian, A1 and A2 being failures. However, the presence of Cybertronians within the Matrix of Leadership older than Alpha Trion (as seen in "[[The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2|The Return of Optimus Prime]]") makes the actual [[Canon|canonicity]] of this questionable.

The [[Omega Key]] was kept in a container in the Stellar Galleries, so when [[Megatron (Prime)| Megatron]] needed it to access the core of Cybertron, he ordered an assault on [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]]. Though he had [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] lead a distraction assault elsewhere, the [[Autobot]]s weren't foolish enough to leave the Stellar Galleries unprotected and fought to keep him and his soldiers at bay. They failed, as did the security of the Stellar Galleries. By infusing the doors and control panels with [[Dark Energon]], the Decepticons reached the room holding the Omega Key with ease.

It was too early to declare victory though. The container turned out to be empty, and a hologram of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime| Zeta Prime]] appeared to the Decepticons to tell them the Omega Key was with him now and that they got one more chance to withdraw. Megatron mocked him, declaring he'd get the Omega Key from his corpse then, and was promptly attacked by an Autobot unit. Once those opponents were defeated, Megatron ordered [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] to trace Zeta Prime's broadcast signal, which revealed they could find him at the [[Vaults|Iacon Vaults]].

The [[Omega Key]] was kept in a container in the Stellar Galleries, so when [[Megatron (Prime)| Megatron]] needed it to access the core of Cybertron, he ordered an assault on [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]]. Though he had [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] lead a distraction assault elsewhere, the [[Autobot]]s weren't foolish enough to leave the Stellar Galleries unprotected and fought to keep him and his soldiers at bay. They failed, as did the security of the Stellar Galleries. By infusing the doors and control panels with [[Dark Energon]], the Decepticons reached the room holding the Omega Key with ease.

It was too early to declare victory though. The container turned out to be empty, and a hologram of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime| Zeta Prime]] appeared to the Decepticons to tell them the Omega Key was with him now and that they got one more chance to withdraw. Megatron mocked him, declaring he'd get the Omega Key from his corpse then, and was promptly attacked by an Autobot unit. Once those opponents were defeated, Megatron ordered [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] to trace Zeta Prime's broadcast signal, which revealed they could find him at the [[Vaults|Iacon Vaults]].

Later, the orbital gun Cybertronian known as [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] began targeting the [[Hall of Ancients]], Zeta Prime's Vaults, the Stellar Galleries and the [[Code Archives]]. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

==Notes==
*The Stellar Galleries were first non-[[Canon|canonically]] mentioned in the short story "[[Alignment]]". Little was revealed about the location, but it seems to have been in use as a political residence as [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] had his office in its high chamber. The Stellar Galleries were [[Canonizing|made official]] in adapted form a few years later in the pages of [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]]'s comics.

Carter Newell

2011-02-18T12:10:52Z

145.74.83.180: /* IDW Transformers movie comics */

:''Carter Newell is a [[human]] from the [[Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''
[[Image:Nefarious 1 Carter.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Hardly an [[wikipedia:Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine|Unstoppable Sex Machine]], is he?]]
'''Carter Newell''' is the head of the shadowy enclave known only as the [[Initiative]]. Harboring a deep, ingrained hatred of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] life, he has set up the Initiative with the express purpose of wiping out all alien technology. Some people might say his quest has driven him insane, but he would just kill those people and continue on anyway. The fact his [[Hologram|holographic avatar]] is of a considerably younger man may betray some measure of vanity, but then it's not like the rest of the Initiative board aren't doing the same thing.

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Nefarious6 young Carter.jpg|thumb|left|250px|At least he didn't decide to dress as a bat as a result.]]
Eighty-one years ago, Carter Newell was just a boy when the car he was travelling in was involved in a car accident. Both his parents were killed in the crash, but Newell himself survived albeit with shattered legs. When he realized that the crash has been caused by a battle between two [[Transformer]]s, it instilled within him a lifelong hatred of mechanical life forms. With the money he inherited, and the help of wealthy backers, he made it his live-long missions to seek out and capture Transformers for analysis. One of those captured was [[Fortress (ROTF)|Fortress]]. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6|Nefarious #6}} As a result, the Initiative was able to equip its soldiers with advanced weaponry and, following the [[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|second major Transformer incident]] on Earth, begin [[Project Nefarious]], to create a new artificial [[AllSpark]] Cube.

Carter Newell ordered the Initiative troops to [[Kingdom Petrochemicals]] in the hope of capturing a Cybertronian life-form and using its energy to power up his "infant" — the AllSpark Cube. Despite the interference of Autobot and Decepticon forces, Newell assured the Initiative board that they had successfully gathered a good deal of energy. After the meeting he grumbled at their shortsightedness, but [[Hank Kirkpatrick|Kirkpatrick]] warned him that if the AllSpark threw a tantrum, it could conceivably destroy the entire planet. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 1|Nefarious #1}}

[[Image:Nefarious5 Carter I am the Initiative.jpg|thumb|right|260px|81 years later, he still had the same expression.]]
Despite Kirkpatrick's misgivings, the Cube neared completion, and Newell ordered [[Ingrid]] to access government computer systems and erase all record of [[Hoover Dam]], so an Initiative tactical-assault team could be moved in. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 2|Nefarious #2}} The team kept in communication with Newell as they began drilling at the dam. While Kirkpatrick warned that they needed to infuse the AllSpark with energy within two hours, Newell asked [[Woolf]] to thaw one of the Transformers they had on ice for a mission to keep [[NEST]] director [[Theodore Galloway|Galloway]] occupied. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 3|Nefarious #3}} Ingrid questioned Newell over what, exactly, his motives were, and what was stored in [[Isolation-1]], but he merely told her she asked too many questions. News came through that the team had begun siphoning residual AllSpark energy from Hoover Dam, though it was, in Newell's words, going to be "tight" schedule-wise. A short time later, Newell paid Fortess a visit in Isolation-1, informing the Decepticon that his kind would soon be destroyed. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 4|Nefarious #4}}

[[Image:Nefarious6 carter and allspark.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
With the new energy infused into the AllSpark, Newell himself was wired up to it, and by "wired", we mean it was plugged directly into his brain, because that couldn't ''possibly'' go wrong. His first act was to go before the Initiative board and, when they voted to have him stand down as project leader, sent a pulse through the communications link. The pulse brought their laptops to life, and the newly-created [[AllSpark Mutation]]s slaughtered the board members, leaving him to declare that he had taken over the Initiative. After paying a visit to Fortress, Newell was met with the news that the Autobots and Decepticons were mounting a combined strike on the Initiative base. He ordered Woolf to thaw the remaining Transformers and set them on the attackers. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5|Nefarious #5}}

Newell began to draw on the power of the AllSpark to wipe out all Transformer life. When Kirkpatrick tried to stop him, Newell fried the man, reducing him to a charred skeleton. [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] attempted to reason with Newell, but Carter telepathically announced their destruction and began to terminate all Transformer life. He was fortunately interrupted when [[Reedman]] attacked him, causing him a serious injury. He destroyed the Decepticon but, requiring time for the AllSpark to mend him, Newell attempted to flee the battle in a small mobile section of the base. When he refused all calls to stop, Optimus rammed the truck, destroying it. Newell staggered from the mangled vehicle and spotted Optimus preparing to destroy the AllSpark. He was ready to stop Prime with a blast of energy, but was terminally interrupted when [[Buzzsaw (ROTF)|Buzzsaw]] blew a hole clear through him. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6|Nefarious #6}}

Robo-Capers

2011-02-15T13:09:36Z

145.74.83.180:

[[Image:Robo-capers.jpg|right|350px|thumb|]]
'''''Robo-Capers''''' was a comic strip drawn by [[Lew Stringer]] and published in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel UK Transformers comic]].

The content of the strip varied wildly over the years. Some strips were standalone such as the three ''Transformers That Didn't Make the Grade'' strips which showed Transformers with odd or useless [[alternate mode]]s such as a [[Chiller|fridge]] or a [[John|toilet]]. A few issues were even used to explain changes elsewhere in the comic, such as [[Robo-Capers issue 74|Grimlock replacing Soundwave on the letters page]] or [[The Wind of Change!|Dreadwind succeeding Grimlock]].

{{chapters |style=3
|title=''Robo-Capers'' strips about the Transformers appeared in the following Marvel UK issues: |content=
* [[Robo-Capers issue 74|#74]]
* [[Robo-Capers issue 87|#87]]
* [[Robo-Capers issue 88|#88]]
* [[Robo-Capers issue 91|#91]]
* [[Robo-Capers issue 97|#97]]
* [[Robo-Capers issue 114|#114]]
* [[The Wind of Change!|#183]]
}}

Most of the strips however focused on the attempts of an alien King and his chief inventor to invade the [[Earth]] using a series of frequently ridiculous robots.

The strip was eventually replaced by ''[[Combat Colin]]'' (also by Stringer) when the ''Transformers'' and ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|Action Force]]'' comics merged. [[Time Wars (issue)|Issue #200]] contained a special joint ''Combat Colin'' and ''Robo-Capers'' strip in which the King was defeated by Combat Colin and decided to give up attempting to conquer Earth forever. This was the very last ''Robo-Capers'' story.

[[Image:G1Misfire boxart.jpg|right|250px|thumb|He couldn't hit the Ark if he was shooting from inside it!]]
'''Misfire''' is the kind of guy you want on the Decepticons' side—if you're an Autobot, that is. He couldn't hit the broad side of [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]]. He holds the record for enrolling and failing the [[Decepticon Military College]], only graduating because the Autobots blew it up. He claims his aim is getting better. ''What was it like before?!''

Together with his [[Targetmaster]] partner [[Aimless]], he's a danger to himself and others. Mostly others.

Misfire was one of several Decepticon jets serving under [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] when they attacked [[Autobot City]] as part of a division while the Decepticon [[Cole (subgroup)|Clones]] stole the Key to the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]]. After Scourge successfully activated the chamber on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] (and inadvertently sent a shuttle full of Autobots and the key halfway across the galaxy), Misfire, [[Triggerhappy]], and [[Slugslinger (G1)|Slugslinger]] were among the Decepticon unit sent to retrieve the key. Following the Autobots to [[Nebulos]], Misfire, alongside Cyclonus and Scourge, blasted both [[Sureshot (G1)|Sureshot]] and [[Crosshairs (G1)|Crosshairs]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}}

After being soundly trounced by the new Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]], the Decepticons made a deal with the [[Hive (G1)|Hive]] to donate their heads and weapons for the [[binary bonding]] process. Misfire liked his partners to have short, memorable names. Armed with this new skill, Misfire and his [[Targetmaster]] companions successfully helped reacquire the Chamber's key... though Misfire himself and Aimless didn't really do very much that was helpful.

Misfire and his partners, Triggerhappy and Slugslinger, were frequent opponents of the Autobot trio under [[Pointblank]]'s command. While they were all engaged in combat over several space-faring denizens of planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], a massive explosion caught everyone off-guard. Misfire and his partners and foes alike were transformed into Targetmasters, somehow fused together in pairs with each of the smaller Master Transformers by the explosion. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}

:Misfire transforms into a pink Cybertronian car-jet thing that goes real fast. Hopefully he can steer better than he can aim. Funnily enough, unlike Triggerhappy and Slugslinger, Misfire is totally unarmed in vehicle mode unless Aimless is attached to him. Just as well, really. In robot mode, Misfire is one of the best articulated Targetmasters due to his clearly defined legs with hip and (however awkward) knee articulation coupled with good arm articulation, making him one of the small number of ''Generation 1'' toys of this era that isn't a brick.

Of the two [[Duocon]]s, '''Battletrap''' is the sane one. In contrast to [[Flywheels]], whose two components are constantly bickering, Battletrap uses the two separate vehicles of his [[alternate mode]] in concert with each other. He likes to play with his target in the way a housecat might play with a rodent...that is, if said housecat happened to have a separate avian part of itself that could fly like a hummingbird.

''Battletrap and his [[Duocon]] partner [[Flywheels]] engaged in a brief battle against [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and the [[Sparkabot|Sparkabots]] while on a regular patrol. He was so afraid of the rumors of "the walking dead" in Kalis, though, that he abandoned Flywheels to the Autobots instead of crossing into that city-state. {{storylink|City of Fear!}} Battletrap was later a member of the original [[Mayhem Attack Squad]] and took part in their joint mission with the [[Wrecker]]s to destroy [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] in the [[Time Wars (issue)|Time Wars]]. He was one of the first warriors to fall during the battle, his chest torn open by Galvatron before being smashed against a wall. {{storylink|Time Wars (issue)|Time Wars}}''

''Despite his apparent "death", ''Battletrap later appeared on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] during the battle with [[Unicron]]. He survived that and also narrowly escaped death at the hands of subterranean Cybertronian monsters shortly after, though his buddy [[Runabout]] wasn't so lucky. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}

He then regularly appeared as one of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon's]] more prominent warriors, up until the Decepticons went into temporary exile after the conflict on [[Klo]]. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}

{{note|The text piece described Sunstreaker as being menaced by "Battletrap in tank mode". Battletrap doesn't HAVE a tank mode. Maybe this is another clue that Battletrap and Flywheels's names were mixed up early on, but more likely it was supposed to be [[Quake (G1)|Quake]], another prominent member of Bludgeon's Decepticons.}}

====Generation 2====
In the first battle between the two generations of Decepticons, Battletrap was badly wounded and had to be carried back to safety inside of [[Warworld]]. He was not seen again. {{storylink|New Dawn}}

Battletrap continued his service with Bludgeon's forces on into the 21st century. He was summoned by [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]] to help with a waste disposal job after [[Hun-Grrr]] was branded a traitor and eliminated fighting [[Piranacon (G1)|Piranacon]]. {{storylink|At Fight's End}}

Battletrap and Flywheels were under the command of [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], who first sent them into battle when the Autobots and Decepticons were fighting over a [[Floppy disk|disk]] containing data on the [[Master Sword]]. After overwhelming the Autobot [[Targetmaster|Targetmasters]] and playing a quick game of "catch", Battletrap got his hands on the disk and delivered it to Scorponok. {{storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} Scorponok used the data to create the [[Zarak Shield]], and when a group of Autobots came to investigate, the two Duocons joined the Decepticon Targetmasters in stopping them. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}} The Decepticons were later led into a trap on the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], and Battletrap was caught up in the ensuing battle. He shot down the air fighter [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]]'s friend [[Kirk]] was piloting. {{storylink|Operation: Destroy the Decepticons}}

By order of Scorponok, the two Duocons later planted a bomb on [[Juno]], one powerful enough to destroy the entire asteroid. {{storylink|Duel on the Asteroid}} Battletrap and Flywheels participated in the final battle against the Autobots in the [[Arctic]]. Battletrap got the drop on [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] and [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] and was about to stomp them to death when he was interrupted by the rogue [[Sixshot]] and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. When it looked like Scorponok's plan to destroy the [[Earth]] was going to be successful, the Duocons fled into space to watch the results from afar. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

Battletrap and Flywheels were created by Shockwave as early prototypes for his [[Triple Changer]] fascination. Instead of achieving three alternating modes, however, they gained the ability to separate into two different alternate modes at once. {{storylink|More Than Meets The Eye (G1)#Issue #8|MTMTE #8}}

**''Japanese ID number'': '''D-96'''
**''Accessories'': "Double-Barreled Assault Missile Launcher"
: As a Duocon, Battletrap is a single robot which splits into two separate vehicles. When separated, the robot transforms into a simplified gray [[Popular_Earth_vehicle_alternate_modes#AH-64_Apache_copter|AH-64 Apache helicopter]] and a blue Ford F-150 camper truck. In robot mode, he has a gray double-barreled cannon that mounts on his shoulder. The gray dual cannon can also be mounted on top of the truck or beneath the cockpit of the helicopter.

==Notes==
* Because of the lack of any wheels on "[[Flywheels]]" it has been suggested that his and Battletrap's names were accidentally switched in production. Their names are even swapped in the ''Headmasters'' episode "[[The Master Sword Is in Danger!!]]".

While most Decepticons enjoy trashing Autobots, '''Cutthroat''' revels in it. He'll tear a mech to pieces with his bare claws in his bloodthirsty zeal, showing not one iota of mercy. His fighting is so barbaric that it even disturbs other Decepticons, especially considering how much energy he wastes in his frenzies. Still, none of his peers are brave enough to mention anything to Cutthroat for fear that he'll turn his insatiable bloodlust on them.

Cutthroat can combine with the other Terrorcons to form [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], although he'd rather not because he thinks Abominus is too "tame" for his taste.

==Fiction==
===Cartoon continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Tony St. James]] (English), [[Show Hayami]] (Japanese)

Cutthroat and the Terrorcons were first seen on a mission with [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], harvesting [[anti-electron]]s from [[Unicron]]'s head to use against the Autobots. The Autobots learned of the plot and came to Unicron to stop the Decepticons, but the debilitating effect of the anti-electron blast and the sheer size and might of the Terrorcons left them in danger of being overrun. Cutthroat managed to disarm [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] and several other Autobots with his swooping attacks. The Terrorcons were ultimately overwhelmed by a newly-constructed Autobot combiner named [[Computron (G1)|Computron]], tough enough to challenge them even in their united [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] form. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

[[Image:Cutthroattoon.jpg|left|200px|thumb|No mercy shall be shown to Hun-Gurr's foot for stealing his screen time!]]
Next, the Terrorcons were seen under the domination of the [[Quintesson]]s. They attacked the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] and free trader [[Dirk Manus]] on the outskirts of Saturn as Abominus. While moving in for the kill, however, they broke apart back into their individual forms. Cutthroat lamented the end of the hunt, but [[Hun-Grrr]] reminded him of the timing mechanism their masters had built into the group in order to control Abominus. Back at the Quintesson base, Cutthroat and [[Blot (G1)|Blot]] engaged in some play-fighting while waiting for their next set of orders. After the Technobots returned and the two teamed united as Abominus and Computron again, the Terrorcons were defeated when Computron computed a means of artificially triggering their timer, forcing Abominus to splinter. After that, Computron gave the Terrorcons a 4.1% chance of defeating him in battle, and he was certainly being generous with his estimations. Cutthroat and the others turned tail and fled in fear of Cybertron's Mightiest Nerd. {{storylink|Money Is Everything}}

Battling the Autobots on a lifeless rock of a planetoid, Cutthroat and the Terrorcons were back to working with Galvatron. They were fighting alongside [[Predaking]] as Abominus when a mysterious signal touched their [[Primitive]] circuitry. Reverting to animal mode, the Terrorcons joined Autobot and Decepticon Primitives alike in boarding [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] and almost hypnotically following the signal to the center of the galaxy. The Primitives were united in purpose, however, not disposition. When [[Headstrong]] of the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacon]]s picked a fight with [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], a ruckus broke out inside Trypticon, especially when Hun-Grrr ordered the wild Terrorcons to "fight everybody!" Trypticon shook himself up a bit to quiet down the Transformers inside, and his bouncing around knocked them all into silence, including Cutthroat who was ''flying in mid-air at the time.'' Once they reached their destination, the Primitives were confronted by the energy-draining [[Tornedron]]. The shape-changing energy creature defeated the Terrorcons in the form of a many-headed hydra. Only a last minute save by Grimlock kept the universe from being drained completely dry of all life. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

Acting as a raiding party, Cutthroat and the Terrorcons attacked the laboratory of [[Gregory Swofford]] and [[Mark Morgan]], looking for the next heat-resistant metal the scientists had designed. They inevitably were opposed by their opposite number, the Technobots, but showed some remarkable sense and ignored the urge to battle the Autobots to the death. Instead, they just stole the metal and fled. Galvatron's house-training must have paid off. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}

{{note|No explanation was ever given for where the Terrorcons came from, or why served the Quintessons for only one episode.}}

====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====
In 2011, Cutthroat and the Terrorcons journeyed to Cybertron over the long-abandoned Decepticon [[Space Bridge]]. They were part of the first wave of Galvatron's siege, hoping to gain control of [[Vector Sigma]]. Cutthroat's team combined into Abominus to battle [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} Later on, Abominus teamed up with his fellow combiners to wage war on their Autobot counterparts. Their victory seemed assured until the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]] swooped in and scattered the Decepticon combiners. They barely survived the encounter. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} On Earth, Cutthroat and the Terrorcons intervened on [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]'s search for the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] and the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]s kept the Terrorcons busy so that Hot Rod could complete his mission. Even after the Terrorcons formed Abominus, the Headmasters stood against them, and the arrival of Computron swung the odds firmly on the Autobots' side. Abominus was last seen with his head buried in the sand, being kicked in the side by Computron. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}}

When Galvatron launched a [[Metamorpho|gravity-warping meteorite]] at the Autobots on [[Athenia]], he brought along Cutthroat and the Terrorcons to occupy the Autobot forces. Linking up as Abominus, they once again battled Computron and the Headmasters. {{storylink|Approach of the Demon Meteorite}}

Scorponok devised a scheme to harvest [[plasma energy]] from the planet [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] by setting off a series of explosives that would utterly destroy the planet, releasing its stored energies. Cutthroat and the Terrorcons were responsible for planting the bombs. Hun-Gurrr was spotted by [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]], [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] and [[Shōki]] of the Trainbots, but the other Terrorcons managed to take them hostage. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! Maximus Is in Danger}} Cutthroat and the Terrorcons managed to get two of the three sites set before being set upon by [[Raiden]] and the Headmasters. By forming Abominus, Cutthroat's team held their own until Scorponok arrived with his mighty [[Transtector]], MegaZarak. The giant scorpion occupied the Autobots long enough for the Terrorcons to finish their work, and Mars was consumed by the resultant atomic inferno. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! MegaZarak Appears}}

Soon after, Cutthroat and the Terrorcons joined Sixshot the returning Galvatron on an energy raid. They sought to prevent the Autobots from re-energizing the distant world of [[Sandra (planet)|Sandra]], and steal the energy for themselves. Cutthroat's team formed Abominus for yet another in a series of battles against Computron. {{storylink|SOS from Planet Sandra}}

After an extended mission in space, Cutthroat returned with Galvatron and the other Decepticons, setting up shop on Earth under Sixshot's command. He joined an enormous offensive against the Autobots' facility in [[Miami]], drawing out the troops from Autobot City so that Sixshot could kill [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]. Body-slamming Computron as Abominus was just icing on the cake. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}} The warfare on Earth continued, as Cutthroat and the Terrorcons assembled as Abominus in part of a five-fold simultaneous strike on Autobot interests engineered by Sixshot. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}} As Scorponok assumed control of the Decepticons again, Cutthroat was seen at a rally being held in his honor on Chaar. Cutthroat and the Terrorcons later joined a Decepticon strike on the Kamchatka Peninsula, seeking to gain control of the [[Pacific Ring of Fire]]. {{storylink|I Risk My Life for Earth}}

As Scorponok abandoned Earth in favor of conquering [[Master (planet)|Master]], Cutthroat was one of his many troops seen attacking the planet's fortifications. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)}} As part of Abominus, Cutthroat participated in the final battle with the Autobots at the North Pole. He escaped into space with the rest of Scorponok's Decepticons. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

====''Zone'' OVA, manga and story pages====
Seeking to create a [[Decepticon Zone]] to counter the [[Micro|Autobot Zone]], [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon Emperor]] [[Violen Jiger]] gathered together the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]], upgrading them with powerful new armor and weaponry, then sent them forth to conquer planets. Cutthroat was one of those summoned, but only as a part of [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]]. {{storylink|Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}} {{storylink|Zone (manga)|Zone}} {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

[[Image:Buzzsawyikes3.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Losing an arm didn't slow down Apeface any. Wussie.]]
Cutthroat and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] served [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] on Cybertron, and journeyed to [[Nebulos]] under his command to conquer the populace and destroy their old foes, [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] and his crew. The Terrorcons made a rather poor showing of themselves, however. First, they were driven off by [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] and a pair of [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]], despite being backed up by the [[Horrorcon|Horrorcons]]. {{storylink|Love and Steel!}} Later, they were the first to feel the enhanced firepower of the Autobot [[Targetmaster|Targetmasters]]. Cutthroat did all right for himself in that second battle, though, outflying [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]]'s hyper-speed trigger finger. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

During the Decepticon Civil War, Cutthroat became yet another victim of [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]]'s rampage of carnage. {{storylink|Cold War!}} Some spot-welding, and he was repaired just in time to be blown away by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] in Buenos Aires. {{storylink|Dark Star (issue)|Dark Star}}

====Marvel UK future timelines====
''In 2009, Cutthroat and the Terrorcons were running an energy-sapping device on Earth when the temporal storm struck. They convinced their leader [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] to travel back in time to take revenge on [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] and his crew, but wound up caught in the [[Time Wars (issue)|Time Wars]] of 1989 instead, joining forces with Rodimus and the modern Transformers under the command of Fortress Maximus and Scorponok against the power of [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. Hopelessly overwhelmed by the mad Decepticon, Soundwave and the Terrorcons cut out, transporting themselves back to the future. Their fate after the time storm rebooted the future of the timeline is uncertain. {{storylink|Time Wars (issue)|Time Wars}}''

====''Classics''====
In the 21st century, Cutthroat and the Terrorcons were repaired and rejoined the Decepticons under [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s control. One day, they were working in the armory when Hun-Grrr summoned them for battle. Cutthroat and the others joined as Abominus and fought against their fellow Decepticons without even knowing why Hun-Grrr was angry. They ended up getting impaled by [[Piranacon (G1)|Piranacon]], blasted into stasis lock, and taken off to wherever [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]] and [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]] dispose of old waste.

And yet, they probably had no regrets. {{storylink|At Fight's End}}

===''Transformers in 3-D''===
The Terrorcons and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] intercepted [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]'s team during the search for [[Metascan Alpha]]. The Terrorcons united into Abominus, but the Autobots ignored them and continued with their mission. A short time later, Abominus came under attack from the [[Destructon]]s and was blasted apart. The Terrorcons began a retreat and found themselves being aided by Ultra Magnus, resulting in Cyclonus agreeing to a truce between the two factions. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

===IDW comics continuity===
[[Image:SpotlightSixshot Cutthroat Hun-Gurrr.jpg|left|200px|thumb|We're much more fun than the Reapers! We're scary-looking, yet visually pleasing, and coming up with ideas on Blot's [[Alternate mode|beast mode]] is hours of fun!]]
Cutthroat and the other Terrorcons were deployed to [[Mumu-Obscura]], but were taken prisoner by the [[Reaper|Reapers]] to lure [[Sixshot]] to the planet. The Reapers offered membership to their little club so long as Sixshot destroyed the Terrorcons. When they thought Sixshot was seriously considering the offer, Cuttthroat and Hun-Gurrr tried to persuade Sixshot that the Decepticon war machine didn't need the Reapers, as he already had a group of misfit friends in the Terrorcons. After Sixshot declined the invitation, the Reapers allowed the Decepticons to leave in peace. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sixshot}}

:Cutthroat transforms into hawk monster thing. His wings, legs and neck are articulated, so one can put him in a flying pose. He can form the leg or arm of any [[Scramble City]]-type combiner, though he is nominally Abominus's right leg. He can also attach to Metroplex' robot mode.
