The '''Dyson Vacuum cleaner''' is basically a vacuum cleaner of death. He's homicidal pretty much from birth and that's about all we know.

==Fiction==
===''Revenge of the Fallen''===
The Dyson Vacuum cleaner robot was brought to life when [[Sam Witwicky]] dropped a piece of the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]]. Along with his fellow [[Appliancebot]]s, he tried to attack Sam but was blasted by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] for his troubles.

==Notes==
*The Dyson Vacuum cleaner robot appears to be the physically tallest of the Appliancebots.

Talk:Alpha Quintesson

2009-11-04T18:39:40Z

168.30.243.43:

Doug Dlin translated Takara's official Micron Trilogy timeline. Alpha Q's original home planet IS named Quintessa. Unicron attacked it in 2003 after escaping the Unicron Battles incident. Unicron ended up in an alternate dimension and devoured Quintessa's entire universe before turning on Planet Q. Unicron's damage due to Quintessa's explosion sent him back into 'this' universe, at the very edge of the universe, and he fell into stasis.

So yah, the dub was actually correct.

:Now, what I want to do here is break into a peal of insane laughter that conveys the phrase "I was fucking right all along, yo," but before that - where might this translation be at? - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 19:08, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey Guys, feel free to add more information if you see fit. I'm not completely familiar with the Energon comic version, but I listed what I knew. --Bodycount

Does Trevor Devall do all of Alpha-Q's voices? --[[User:Ratbat|Ratbat]] 08:39, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Wasn't his name Alpha-Q on Energon too? I seem to recall it was.--[[User:OctopusPrime|Octopus Prime- King of the Road!]] 21:08, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
:In the show, I guess; ain't what it said on the box. "Alpha Q" is also... pretty retarded. [[User:Singularity|Singularity]] 21:23, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
::I believe they tended to call him by his full name on the show, because when you say "Alpha Q" aloud, well... - [[User:Dark T Zeratul|Dark T Zeratul]] 23:56, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
:::Oh the pain of that caption pun. It must stay for ever and always.--[[User:Autobus Prime|Autobus Prime]] 20:21, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
::::I want to know where he got the packaging art from. The Energon basics really need bio pics, particularly the combiner limbs. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 20:23, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

The head caption on this page is quite inappropreate for kid's, though this is not a kid's website young kid's do know about wikipedia (containing a link to this wiki) and they google transformers all the time could we pleese change the caption {{unsigned|Jimbo the cheese|06:20, 25 May 2007}}

Why is the article at "Alpha Quintesson", when the most prominent piece of fiction has the character's name as "Alpha Q"? [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 20:51, 24 September 2009 (EDT)
:Look at the first section of this page. And if you don't get it... "Alpha Q" can sound like...something rude. [[Special:Contributions/156.3.149.15|156.3.149.15]] 10:51, 4 November 2009 (EST)
::Yes, thank you for pointing out the obvious, anon. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 11:30, 4 November 2009 (EST)
:::I don't think we go solely by "most prominent piece of fiction" when naming our articles. We do select fiction names over toy-only names, but considering he's "Alpha Quintesson" in both toy form AND the Dreamwave comics, AND since that's just an unabbreviated version of his cartoon name, I think Alpha Quintesson is the best choice. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 13:17, 4 November 2009 (EST)
::::I find myself really wanting to put a "Hey, Alpha ''U'', buddy!" or similar caption. -hx at work.

Someone in Japan loves us. This fiction has turned a line that I was going to pass on to a line that I've resolved to buy at least one of each mold from.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 14:08, 13 October 2009 (EDT)
:I can only assume this is Ichikawa's work. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 14:19, 13 October 2009 (EDT)
::At this point, it seems increasingly likely. It's almost definitely his art, and he's the go-to-guy at Takara for a lot of their pack-in fiction, to say nothing of it being very much in keeping with his writing style. If everyone else agrees, I have no qualms with putting him in as the writer for all the Alternity stuff.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 14:33, 13 October 2009 (EDT)

So, like, are [[Jim Sorenson]] and [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] now involved in some sort of Fanwank Arms Race? Will the AllSpark Almanac Volume 2 have to top this, only for Ichikawa to redouble his efforts? --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 16:07, 13 October 2009 (EDT)
:Or will we join forces? Together we will Fanwank The World! MWAH HAHA!!!--[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 17:09, 13 October 2009 (EDT)
::Umm... ewww? - [[User:Mammalian Verisimilitude|Mammalian Verisimilitude]] 17:18, 13 October 2009 (EDT)

==Title==
Leaving aside the fanwankary for a moment, is there no better translation of the title? It seems really Engrishy. - [[User:Mammalian Verisimilitude|Mammalian Verisimilitude]] 17:18, 13 October 2009 (EDT)
:The title wasn't part of the fan translation - it was printed on the comic in English. I imagine it's ''supposed'' to be something like "A Game of Death". - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 17:20, 13 October 2009 (EDT)
::And our general policy is that if something ''does'' have an English name right on it, we generally go with that rather than re-interpret.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 17:25, 13 October 2009 (EDT)

Waiiit. Does this... wait. I'm tryign to wrap my head around this.

In the year 2007, after a triple-assload of time-travel beginning in the year 2003... the second half of the Binaltech continuity was rendered a self-nullifying timeloop-- but instead of being erased, it brached off of the original cartoon continuity early in the year 2005-- in the cartoon the Decepticons conquered Cybertron. In the Binaltech-U the Autobots did so, and eventually used the "off switch" to turn off just the Decepticons.

And this resulting Alternity branch timeline is NOT known as Primax 207.28 Beta (for the story where the branch occurred in 2007) OR Primax 1286.5 Kappa (for the first fictional element published in that universe in 1986) but instead is designated Primax 903.0 Beta... for the '''2003 story''' that occurred in both Alternity continuity ''and'' the main Japanese continuity?

...well, I suppose the designations are an Axiom nexus thing. Logistically that makes sense... It just hurts my brain because it's not named after the actual 2005 branch-point... -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 18:25, 13 October 2009 (EDT)
:By and large, yes. Except precisely how ''much'' of the Binaltech storyline actually did occur in the main Japanese continuity is terribly unclear. It didn't just suddenly branch off with Operation: Distant Thunder, the implication is that the Binaltech project fizzled out some time earlier than that, and a lot of what happened in the story never took place in the main timeline. As such, Ichikawa seems to have just given it the earliest clarifiable designator. That is not to say, mind you, that I don't think Ichikawa isn't ''quite'' using the universal stream designators correctly - after all, "Kiss Players" isn't its own universal stream, it's part of the main J-continuity, and yet here it's got its own designator. But then Sipher and Trent already did something similar with the ''Headmasters'' cartoon too, in "I, Lowtech," so perhaps these are just alternate branching versions of the series-as-we-know-them. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 06:43, 14 October 2009 (EDT)

==Two quibbles==
Alternity beigns can't enter the timestream prior to the date when Alternity began existing, right? Isn't that the reason for the Protectors? I take that to be the only reason these characters can't interact with Return of Convoy, wince it takes place in 2005. Furthermore, I think this black Megatron is pretty blatantly the one from Return of Convoy. Does that make sense?
Also, shouldn't Primax 406.3 Eta be the bios for both Protoform Optimus and Starscream? [[User:Chip|Chip]] 21:58, 13 October 2009 (EDT)
:Primax means it's G1 continuity family. 4 means April, 06 means 2006, 3 means the third day, Eta means radio drama. Thus, Kiss Players.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 22:38, 13 October 2009 (EDT)
::Erk. I meant the other timeline they visited. Oops. [[User:Chip|Chip]] 23:03, 13 October 2009 (EDT)
:::That one... ''maybe''. Hell if I can remember the exact release date of those toys, but you could well be on to something.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 23:08, 13 October 2009 (EDT)

:Oh, my! Yes, you are quite right - I had totally forgotten that the Alternity can't interfere with time prior to 2007. And Megatron ''was'' one of the bosses in ''Mystery of Convoy'', wasn't he? Yeah, I wasn't 100% sure (after all, we saw Magnus looking at Prime's dead body, and Prime didn't die in the Alternity's origin universe), but now I am, this isn't the Megatron I thought it was. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 06:43, 14 October 2009 (EDT)

:: You fight Megatron at the VERY end of ''MoC'' but he's the size of a combiner and in his original handgun form - is it possible this is some sort of giant Megatron battlemech, or Megatron infused with Alternity energy or something? [[User:Hooper X|Hooper_X]] 08:03, 14 October 2009 (EDT)
:::Or just really big, the way Fort Max can be standard-sized, utterly giganamous, or anywhere in-between, depending on the continuity? - [[User:Mammalian Verisimilitude|Mammalian Verisimilitude]] 10:06, 14 October 2009 (EDT)
::::FOOL! Megatron can be any size he wants! -- [[User:Semysane|Semysane]] 15:32, 14 October 2009 (EDT)
:::::Also, Megatron isn't an Alternity. He's powered by Hypertherion or whatever it's called, the cosmic monster. He's just mimicing the Alternity ability to exist across dimensions. He can dick around in his own timeline as much as he wants. -hx, at work.
