<p>172.162.33.52: /* Decepticons */</p> <hr /> <div>{{nav-rotf-game}}<br /> [[Image:LGStrongholdwave50.jpg|right|300px|thumb|That's a lotta Ratchets]]<br /> '''''LG Autobot Stronghold''''' is an online game capitalizing on the hype surrounding ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen]]''. Once again the game demonstrates just how capitalist the Autobots can be.<br /> <br /> It is also '''insanely''' addictive.<br /> <br /> ==Story==<br /> The Autobots have to keep the Decepticons from reaching their &quot;LG Stronghold&quot;. The Decepticons keep coming and coming in wave after wave. They're relentless! Fortunately, by taking the [[Spark]]s of their fallen foes, the Autobots can purchase [[LG]] technology to upgrade their offensive capabilities. They can also use the souls of the dead to buy duplicate versions of themselves to keep the Decepticon hordes occupied. It's kind of horrifying when you think too hard about it.<br /> <br /> ==Gameplay==<br /> Play-wise, it is a standard &quot;[[wikipedia:Tower defense|tower defense]]&quot; game; players purchase various turrets (in the form of Autobot defenders) in order to prevent increasingly challenging waves of enemies from reaching the end of the map. Defeating enemies gives the player credits (in this case the Decepticons' very sparks!) with which they can purchase new turrets or upgrade existing ones. <br /> [[Image:Autobotstronghold_cons.jpg|thumb|Just to prove we didn't make up the Decepticon names.]]<br /> The game has 50 waves of Decepticons, with each wave consisting of a set group of Decepticons advancing on the Autobot LG Stronghold along one of three (four if you count the flying Starscreams) set paths. Each wave is increasingly difficult, and as the game progresses multiple Decepticon types will emerge during the same waves. You can send out the next wave sooner by pressing the &quot;Send Next Wave&quot; button, though this needs time to refresh after each push.<br /> <br /> Shortly after the game's release, it was quietly rebalanced—the higher level enemies became stronger and attacked in increasingly complicated and frustrating waves, and some of the Autobot attacks seem to have been slightly diminished in effect. The scoring for the game was also changed, to a more tiered system so that the further you get into the game the more points you get for sending out Decepticons quickly. When asked about the change Andy Cho, LG Australia Web Manager, said:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;We believed the game was too easy when if first launched with one path, and it was always our plan to add in more paths. So it launched with a single path and a basic wave set, but a few days after launch we updated it with more paths and an all new wave set, plus the ability to have multiple enemy types per wave (not previously possible). This lead to lots of value tweaking etc. Opinion still splinters whether its too easy or too hard, we think we hit somewhere in the middle.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> Fair enough, Andy. Fair enough.<br /> <br /> ===Scoring===<br /> Each Decepticon has a set kill score, which doesn't increase as the game progresses. See the individual character entries.<br /> <br /> When you press the &quot;Send Next Wave&quot; button you get a bonus to your score. The bonus is higher depending on how soon you press the button, and how far you are into the game. Big bonuses for sending wave fifty in early!<br /> <br /> If you clear the game to wave 50 you receive a 1 million point bonus. Yes, that's right. ONE MILLION. Good luck getting on the top ten without clearing wave 50, buckos.<br /> <br /> When you register your score you are asked a multiple choice question, &quot;TruMotion 200HZ is an ideal feature for:&quot; Well, I won't list the options. The answer is: &quot;Fast paced sports program.&quot; If you get this question right (and if you don't now, you really suck) you get another bonus 10,000 points.<br /> <br /> ===Upgrading===<br /> Each of your Autobots can be upgraded. There are four forms of upgrades, three of which are named after LG brandings:<br /> <br /> '''200HZ TruMotion'''<br /> :Lets your Autobot turn more quickly, thus targeting enemies behind him more easily. For some reason in practical terms this basically translates to an extra boost to your turret's firing rate. Very good in concert with the next power-up to make slow-firing characters like Ironhide and Ratchet shoot faster... or to make Bumblebee incredibly deadly.<br /> <br /> '''2MS Response Time'''<br /> :Lets your Autobot shoot ''faster''.<br /> <br /> '''Smart Energy Saving Plus'''<br /> :Since your Autobot isn't wasting as much energy he can shoot further, increasing his range! No, I don't know how that works either.<br /> <br /> '''Level Up'''<br /> :Increases the damage from your Autobot's attacks. You can level up twice, getting to the rip-roaring level of... uhhh... 3. Usually the first level up is a little bit cheaper than other upgrades, letting you purchase a level up quickly -- especially useful for quickly levelling multiple dudes. Prime's the exception, his first level up is always the same price as all his other upgrades.<br /> <br /> ==Characters==<br /> ===Autobots===<br /> [[Image:Autobotstrongholdbumblebee.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Yellow death.]]'''[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'''<br /> :''Cost'' 10 Sparks<br /> :''Upgrades'' 8 Sparks first level up, 10 sparks all other upgrades<br /> :''Range'' Close<br /> :''Rate of Fire'' Rapid<br /> :''Attack'' Low damage<br /> ::A solid little piece.

Still a damned good unit once fully upgraded.

Starscream flies through the middle of the screen in two columns of varying numbers of Decepticons (near the end of the game there's so many of him you'll cry).

Nicolas Mountford from the team had this to say about the game... well, and other stuff, but that's private:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;Autobot Stronghold is still very popular, there are around 100,000 plays each day and a total so far of about 1.5 million plays world wide.<br /> <br /> As for credits on production for the game, almost everyone in the company contributed in some way, its best to say the credit goes to SOAP Creative.&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> Nick is awesome. Plus, he totally said our Wiki is awesome, which means we think he's awesome too. He provided the sketches for the Autobot missiles that can be seen to the right, as drawn by one of the SOAP creative designers.<br /> <br /> Check out the external links for more information on SOAP Creative.

Maintaining the high standard for car accuracy in the movie line, Bumblebee is very faithful to the real-life vehicle, featuring clear blue windows in contrast to the opaque windows seen in both his previous Deluxe class toy and the Ultimate Bumblebee toy.<br /> <br /> : Bumblebee features two [[Automorph|Automorphing]] gimmicks during transformation: ''(a)'' swinging his hood down into robot mode position also moves his arms up and ''(b)'', swinging his feet down will move the rear fenders up and behind his calves, as well as swinging the rear windows to his inner calves in a spring-loaded action. Unusually, this version of Bumblebee is much more accurate to the CGI design than either the older-model Deluxe OR the Ultimate figure, with the chest properly articulating in a fairly Movie-accurate manner. He's also slightly taller than most of the other Deluxe Class figures. <br /> <br /> : Bumblebee features a superb range of articulation, with ball joints in his shoulders, neck, torso, wrists and upper legs, with ratcheting and swivels making up the remaining joints. Instead of the rather inaccurate missile launchers from the 1976 Camaro toy, '09 Bumblebee comes with a mostly accurate version of his plasma cannon as it appears in the movie, but for added play value, it can Automorph into an energy blade by opening up the halves of the gun barrel and swinging them back. The cannon can be held in either of his hands.<br /> <br /> : Care should be taken when removing the cannon from Bumblebee's hands, as excessive force can damage the wrist ball joint socket.<br /> <br /> : Contrary to popular opinion, the yellow pieces on the back of Bumblebee's feet are ''not'' supposed to be heel spurs, nor have they been mis-assembled. They are supposed to fold up to emulate the detail found on the CGI design.<br /> <br /> : A running change version of this mold adds tabs to the hip panels, which makes the vehicle mode hold together better, as well as sculpted pupils inside Bumblebee's eyes.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=144325 TFW2005 thread about the retool for the second Deluxe Bumblebee toy]&lt;/ref&gt; Initially this was believed to be a variant for the Japanese market; however, later shipments of the Hasbro toy featured those changes as well, as did all subsequent versions of the mold.<br /> <br /> : This mold was also used to make &quot;Allspark Power&quot; [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]].<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> [[Image:Movie Bumblebee Evolutionofahero.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Hey, look, Concept Camaro, now you are the piece o' crap.]]<br /> *'''Evolution of a Hero''' (Target exclusive two-pack, 2007)<br /> **''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles, Plasma cannon<br /> <br /> : A Target exclusive, this figure multi-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe-class 1976 Bumblebee and an exclusive &quot;battle damaged&quot; 2009 Camaro Concept Bumblebee.

While the ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' Bumblebees are identical to their original, single carded releases, the ''Classics'' Bumblebee has been redecoed to more closely resemble his ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' counterparts, changing his white stripes to black, and his grey/silver plastic to yellow, similarly to ''Henkei!

D'you see?&quot;]]<br /> *'''Final Stand''' (Screen Battles, 2007)<br /> **''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-02'''<br /> <br /> : This ''Screen Battles'' pack comes with an altered [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] toy and a posable, non-transforming, battle-damaged Bumblebee figure very similar to the ''Robot Replicas'' toy, yet surprisingly utilizing none of the same parts despite being on an identical scale. This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the battle in Mission City.<br /> <br /> :Although entirely comprised of original sculpting, such as the gimpy leg-stumps, the Bumblebee figure oddly does not feature the character's distinctive car door &quot;wings&quot; on his back. However, keen [[Kitbashing|customisers]] can easily rectify this by slicing the &quot;Robot Replicas&quot; version's wings off and whittling their connecting plastic into simple posts that very handily plug into large holes in the tires on Final Stand 'Bee's back. In fact, these holes almost seem designed to accommodate a missing part. (Considering how all the other Screen Battles sets were apparently originally intended to feature more, or at least more elaborate, accessory figures based on their entries in an official checklist on Hasbro's website{{fact}}, this seems indeed very plausible.)<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Ultimate====<br /> [[Image:Ultimate Bumblebee toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|All those extras and they couldn&amp;#39;t make me more accurate than the deluxe class toy.]]<br /> *'''Ultimate Bumblebee''' (Ultimate, 2007)<br /> **''Accessories:''<br /> <br /> : Similar in appearance to the second Deluxe-class Bumblebee toy, albeit much larger and more complex, the 'Ultimate' version of Bumblebee also transforms into the 2009 concept Camaro. The toy features animatronic movement in robot mode (flapping wings, moving arms and a rotating head) and light-up eyes and headlights, activated by the movement or sounds made by the person playing with the toy, or by pressing his buttons, which also activate an obscene number of interactive electronic sound effects. Oddly enough, despite being mute for most of the movie, Bumblebee has a wide range of phrases (Which don't even sound like him). His chest button yields various phrases and a new version of the ''Transformers'' theme tune, while a button on his side produces blaster noises, more speech, and musical samples, including four different ones from Devo's &quot;Whip It.&quot; This button also causes the toy to raise its cannon-arm and automatically fire a missile. Playing with the toy by moving it will make him repeat various phrases and samples activated by other features, as well as crashing battle noises, but when he is left idle, more unique phrases will be uttered inquiring where everyone has gone, as well as radio snippets to the same effect, before the toy eventually deactivates. Pressing any button will bring him back online with a cheerful shout.<br /> <br /> : Transforming the toy between modes is accompanied by the classic transformation noise, and if left unattended between modes, it will make stalling engine noises, car horn and a car alarm sounds. Once in car mode, new electronics are unlocked, beginning with the sound of an engine starting up. The chest button now activates the car's horn, and rolling the figure along will create an accelerating noise that increases the faster the toy is moved. More unique musical snippets will play as the car rolls along; when the rolling stops, brake lights activate and the tires screech. Yet more sounds are produced when Bumblebee is rolled backwards, and the car mode also features different crashing battle noises to the robot mode.<br /> <br /> : All of the toy's features can be turned off by a switch, and it has an additional &quot;Try Me&quot; mode which allows you to hear various sounds from the toy's various functions just by pressing the chest button.<br /> <br /> : The toy is mistransformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure made the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block resting on Bumblebee's chest. In reality, it splits up into five separate pieces to fold and collapse into a more movie-like appearance.<br /> <br /> : In the holiday season, Wal-Mart carried an exclusive &quot;Bonus Buy&quot; version of the toy, which had the Deluxe [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] toys added as freebies. Costco also carried an exclusive version, with the 3&quot; [[Titanium Series]] version of Bumblebee packed in. However, it did not include the display stand.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> *'''Ultimate Bumblebee bonus pack''' (Costco exclusive two-pack, 2007)<br /> **''Accessories:''<br /> <br /> :A Costco-exclusive special pack of Ultimate Bumblebee with Titanium Series Bumblebee (see below) as a bonus figure.

His main &quot;gimmick&quot; is a spring-loaded missile launcher in his right arm. As is also the case with Ultimate Bumblebee, the toy is mistransformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure make the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block. In reality, the chest/bumper consists of two rotating pieces which can pivot down so as to more accurately emulate the appearance in the movie.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> [[Image:FAB Rally Rocket BB.jpg|right|250px|thumb|A rally car that isn't Smokescreen.

Like all Cyber Slammers, the toy features motorized action. When you push down on the car, it zooms forward, then pops up into robot mode! Sure to please the toddler you brought with you to the PG-13 movie. Like most Cyber Slammers, Bumblebee manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.<br /> <br /> : This toy was later redecoed into [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]].<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Trans-Scanning====<br /> [[Image:Movie TranScanning Bumblebee toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|whY mY SHoUlDeRs hUrT?(Now I know how Hot Shot feels)]]<br /> *'''Bumblebee''' (2008)<br /> **''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-02'''<br /> **''Accessories:'' Display stand<br /> <br /> : [[Trans-scan|Trans-scanning]] Bumblebee is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a &quot;Core Body&quot;. To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Bumblebee: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.<br /> <br /> : The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of golden plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called &quot;transformation&quot; into his meteor-like &quot;entry mode,&quot; accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This golden-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Bumblebee's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of nineteen armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a Camaro Concept.<br /> <br /> : Bumblebee also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Optimus Prime (Movie) toys|Optimus Prime]] figure.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Cyber Stompin' robots====<br /> [[Image:Bumblebeemoviecyberstompin.jpg|right|150px|thumb|These boots were made for—you know the rest.]]<br /> *'''Bumblebee''' (Cyber Stompin' Robots, 2007)<br /> <br /> : [[Cyber Stompin' Robots]] Bee is a large electronic action figure, featuring a rather cutified design. He's got electronic lights and sounds up the whazzoo and fires missiles and a fist. He totally plays the original theme song.<br /> <br /> : Later in the year, Wal-Mart stores sold this toy as a &quot;Bonus Buy&quot; item, which came with a free Cyber Slammer [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] attached to the box back.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Robot Replicas====<br /> [[Image:Movie RobotReplica Bumblebee.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Heli-pack not included]]<br /> *'''Bumblebee''' (Robot Replicas, 2007)<br /> <br /> : As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] sub-line, this version of concept-Camaro Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure that hews very close to the movie's CGI model. It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, plus his right forearm can be replaced with his blaster-arm (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins). For some reason, he's closer to orange than his normal yellow.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> <br /> ====Micro IR Transformers Cars====<br /> [[Image:Movie Bumblebee MircroIR.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Drives and shoots!]]<br /> *'''Bumblebee''' (2007)<br /> <br /> : Made by [[RadioShack]] under license from [[Hasbro]] and [[Dreamworks]]. The three-function infrared remote, in Bumblebee's signature colors, gives you control of the car with forward and reverse turn movement. More than just a car styled after the Movie character, the car also transforms to robot mode. The top of the gun-shaped IR remote's barrel serves as a display stand. The tip of the gun barrel can also be unscrewed, revealing a pen (!) inside.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Titanium Series===<br /> [[Image:Bumblebeemoviets3.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Special feature: Can&amp;#39;t talk, just like the real Bumblebee!]]<br /> *'''Bumblebee''' (Robot Masters, 2007)<br /> **''Accessories:'' Movie-style Autobot sigil isplay stand<br /> <br /> : This Bumblebee is a three-inch tall painted mini-statue of his 1976 Camaro body form.

His right arm has been retooled to accommodate a built-in spring-loaded plasma cannon, replacing the converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version of this mold. Don't look at his eyes for too long, you'll have nightmares.<br /> <br /> :Strangely, the missile for his right arm is slightly too long for the slot in the arm itself, so it either has to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon must be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. (This has been fixed in later releases, such as the European market). Also, instead of having movie accurate gray colored &quot;toe&quot; sections on his feet like the later 2007 figures, his toes are ''painted'' yellow ...on top of yellow plastic.

Only the legs remain unaltered from the original version of the mold. This extensive retooling results in a car interior with seats and a crude dashboard, but the windows are so opaque that these new details can't easily be seen.<br /> <br /> :His &quot;heels&quot; are assembled backwards, which keeps them from being folded up against the back of the shins.

In robot mode, Bumblebee's vehicle-mode seats end up on his arms, and Sam can sit in either of them; the seat on Bumblebee's right has a headrest that can fold down to look slightly less conspicuous in robot mode, while the seat on Bumblebee's left arm features a pair of cannons which flip over Sam's shoulders, offering him some offensive hardware to protect his rather precarious position. Sam can also stand on a platform that flips out from the small of Bumblebee's back (again, via peg-holes on his feet), manning a small non-firing cannon that flips out over Bumblebee's right shoulder. Finally, Bumblebee's left palm also contains a peg, meaning Sam and securely stand or sit in his big buddy's hand. Bumblebee himself features a spring-loaded cannon for his left arm, which can fire the two missiles the figure comes with, a flip-out double-barreled silver cannon that points over his head, and a functional flip-down battle mask. Much like the rest of his Human Alliance brethren, Bumblebee is roughly the same size as an ''[[Alternators]]'' toy, being slightly taller than ''Alternators'' [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] in robot mode.<br /> <br /> :There is a significant misassembly issue with Bumblebee: according to TakaraTomy's images of the resin prototype as well as Bumblebee's CG design, the retail toy's legs are on the wrong sides of his body, so the details on his legs are inverted. This can be [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/243649-human-alliance-bumblebee-leg-mod.html rectified by disassembling his crotch and reassembling the legs backwards.] Once this is complete, Bumblebee will look the way he was intended to look, while adding some minor extra steps during transformation.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Ultimate====<br /> [[Image:ROTF UltimateBumblebee.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]<br /> *''' Ultimate Bumblebee Battle Charged''' (Ultimate, 2009)<br /> <br /> :''Revenge of the Fallen's'' Ultimate Bumblebee is a retool of the 2007 version, with new rims, hood, front fenders.

Oh! And to make your head look like a highly detailed, and movie accurate replicate of Bumblebee. The helmet is nearly fully enclosed around the head, unlike the Prime helmet, and is adjustable so it can be sized to fit adults and children. The helmet is really, really yellow.<br /> <br /> :The helmet features three different buttons, the ''voice mixer'', ''battle phrases'' and ''conversion sounds'' buttons. <br /> <br /> :The ''voice mixer'' button makes the helmet modulate your voice and play wicked beats at the same time so you can get down with your bad self. The ''battle phrases'' are meant to sound like random radio mixing, but really sound like a couple of guys in a studio yelling at a microphone with silly voices. Enjoy fun phrases like, &quot;You are no match for my new kung fu!&quot; in a delightfully bad Chop Socky voice! However, there are at least a few radio voice clips from the actual movie. The ''conversion sounds'' button plays the transforming sound, or if you hold the button down plays the transforming sound as if it were being remixed live by a DJ on a turntable. Okay, y'know... like with a baby scratch or a backwards loop or something.<br /> <br /> :The helmet has three play modes. There's ''demo'', ''on'' and the parents' favourite, ''off''. The helmet comes packaged in the ''demo'' mode with a ''switch retainer'' to keep it there. You'll need to take that sucker off to put him in the all important ''on'' mode. But don't throw it out! It's a really pretty red.<br /> <br /> In order to avoid language barriers, the European version doesn't play battle phrases. <br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> [[Image:ROTF Bumblebee PlasmaCannon.jpg|right|250px|thumb| FIGHTING TO SAVE THE WORLD!]]<br /> *'''Bumblebee Plasma Cannon''' (2009) <br /> : The Plasma Cannon is a stylized version of Bumblebee's fist that converts to a plasma cannon roleplay toy when the barrel is slid forward or the trigger is pulled. When fired, a ring of red lights around the barrel flashes (totally awesome). If the trigger is only pulled half-way, a &quot;charging&quot; sound is made. There is also an Autobot sigil on the side that, when pressed, causes sound effects to be heard. These include conversion noises, a revving engine, and clips from Stan Bush's &quot;The Touch&quot; (also awesome).<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====RPMs - Robot Powered Machines====<br /> =====???

Followed [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] and his Autobots from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to the peaceful planet [[Nebulos]], they did. After the Decepticons were soundly defeated by the Autobots, upgraded with [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster technology]], Weirdwolf was one of the Decepticons who underwent the Headmaster process to even the odds. Now [[Binary bonding|binary bonded]] to the Nebulan [[Monzo]], he and the other Decepticons defeated and captured the Autobot Headmasters. {{storylink|Love and Steel!}}<br /> <br /> The Autobot Headmasters escaped, and the Decepticons followed the Autobots from Nebulos to [[Earth]], where the two factions battled in the vacant [[Mount Saint Hilary]]. Though Fortress Maximus's Headmaster partner, the Nebulan [[Galen]], was killed, Weirdwolf and the other Decepticons were driven off when [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] replaced him. {{storylink|Trial by Fire!}}<br /> <br /> ''When Decepticons from the future travel back in time to 1989, following a group of Autobots attempting to stop a rift in space-time from swallowing the entire universe, Weirdwolf and several other Decepticons are displaced to [[Limbo]]. Presumably, they are returned when the future Decepticons left for their own time near the end of the ensuing battle.'' {{storylink|Time Wars}}<br /> <br /> Scorponok's Decepticons soon met up with the group of Decepticons stranded on Earth led by [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]. [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] aggravated the two sides towards a civil war. During the following Decepticon-on-Decepticon battle, Weirdwolf was run over by [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]. {{storylink|Cold War!|Cold War!}} The Decepticons stopped their civil war and teamed up with the Autobots when it was discovered that Starscream had orchestrated the whole affair to distract from his pursuit of the legendary Transformers knowledge database, the [[Underbase]]. In the wake of this event, Scorponok assumed command of all Decepticons and, with Weirdwolf's help, placed a new headquarters, including an Energon convertor, under a swamp near [[New York City]]. {{storylink|King Con!}}<br /> <br /> Weirdwolf and his Decepticon comrades were once again manipulated by an outside party when both Autobots and Decepticons responded to the [[Air Strike Patrol]]'s stunt at [[MacDill Air Force Base]]. Weirdwolf pounced on Optimus Prime when Prime lost his temper and tore through the rest of the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}} The orchestrator behind this staged battle was revealed when Starscream, rebuilt as a [[Pretender]], arrived and fought both sides in the name of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Skin Deep}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Weirdwolfthevoid.jpg|right|125px|thumb|Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.]] When the second Decepticon civil war broke out between Scorponok's faction and a small group of rogues led by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], Weirdwolf was one of those buried under Scorponok's headquarters near New York. He was unharmed, however, and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] ordered him, [[Misfire]], and [[Fangry]] to the surface to help protect their commander. The battle came to a halt when all Earth-bound Transformers were instantaneously transported to Cybertron to prepare to battle [[Unicron]]. Weirdwolf listened to [[Primus]] (via a possessed [[Emirate Xaaron]]) tell the origin of the Transformers and their imminent destiny. {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}} Unicron subsequently attacked, was defeated, and Weirdwolf was one of the lucky survivors. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}<br /> <br /> Under the pretenses of an Autobot/Decepticon alliance, [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] led Weirdwolf and the other Decepticons to [[Klo]], stranding the Autobots on their dying home planet. {{storylink|Exodus!}} When the Autobots followed them, the Decepticons ambushed them, killing all but five. Bludgeon sent Weirdwolf, [[Octopunch]], [[Fangry]], and [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] to hunt down these stragglers, but Weirdwolf had trouble hunting their scent. Unfortunately, their prey rose before them and overcame their group. Weirdwolf apparently escaped, as he appeared next as part of the main battle, where Optimus Prime had returned. He leaped onto Optimus from behind, but before he could deliver a deadly blow, Grimlock's group had returned victorious, and he was destroyed by a blast Grimlock fired from Octopunch's trident. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}<br /> <br /> ====Generation 2====<br /> [[Image:Weirdwolfg2.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Don't you mean, &quot;Time for feeding it is&quot;?]]<br /> Weirdwolf was one of countless Decepticons under Bludgeon's command when they fought the Autobots over ownership of a cache of weapons on an unnamed barren world. Bludgeon ordered a retreat when a gigantic creature who guarded their quarry warned them away. {{storylink|Ghosts|Ghosts}} Later, he and the other Decepticons were ordered to rampage across Earth in order to get Optimus Prime's attention. Weirdwolf, like his comrades, enjoyed this job very much. {{storylink|Tales of Earth Part One}} <br /> <br /> Megatron returned and quickly usurped Bludgeon, but not long after Megatron fell in battle against [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] over [[Tykos]]; Weirdwolf was part of the search party for Megatron's remains. {{storylink|New Dawn}} <br /> <br /> When the Autobots and Decepticons joined forces to defeat Jhiaxus and his [[Cybertronian Empire]], Weirdwolf was present in both the battle on [[Ethos]] {{storylink|Escalation!}} and the final battle on Earth. {{storylink|Total War!}}<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Classics====<br /> [[Image:Weirdwolfgod.jpg|right|180px|thumb|This sounds [[Wheelie (G1)|familiar]], doesn't it? The wrong characters are talking like that, oh shit!]]<br /> In the fifteen years after the battle on Klo, Weirdwolf was one of the Decepticons under the command of the spacefaring [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] and assigned to the command of the mysterious [[Bug Bite (G1)|Bug Bite]]. Whether Weirdwolf followed Bug Bite of his own accord or was sublimated by Bug Bite's reverse-engineered [[Cerebro-shell|cerebro-shells]] is anybody's guess. What is known is that Bug Bite had Weirdwolf rebuilt to remove his Headmaster technology, resulting in both a spurned [[Monzo]] and Weirdwolf being even less coherent than he was previously, having to resort to talking to his own wolf head in the absence of his Headmaster partner.<br /> <br /> After the return of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], Bug Bite's team arrived on [[Earth]] under the pretenses of forming a partnership. Weirdwolf and the rest of Bug Bite's team were escorted back to the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], Megatron's current headquarters. Suddenly, due to cerebro shells implanted earlier, nearly all of Megatron's troops doublecrossed him, turning their guns on him at Bug Bite's radio-controlled command. However, Weirdwolf's recreation was his team's downfall; Monzo turned to the Autobots with what information he knew, and a rogue Autobot team led by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] arrived and jammed the cerebro shells' frequency. Weirdwolf was critically damaged by Megatron in the resulting crossfire. {{storylink|Games of Deception|Games of Deception}}<br /> <br /> The barely-alive Weirdwolf and apparently-dead Bug Bite were dragged (literally in the latter's case) back to their ship by [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]]. He put Weirdwolf into a newly-installed [[CR chamber]] to heal. {{storylink|Withered Hope|Withered Hope}}<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation 1 cartoon===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Stan Jones]] (English, casting only)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Weirdwolfrebirthr.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Growl.]]<br /> After the return of Optimus Prime, the Decepticons were scattered across the galaxy. Suddenly, they returned en masse, descending upon [[Autobot City]] on Earth. Weirdwolf was among their number. After the Decepticons retrieved the [[Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber]], [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] called off their attack and they retreated. But when the Decepticons brought the key to Cybertron to activate the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]], it was retaken by a group of Autobots who were subsequently thrown across the galaxy. [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] took a ship of Decepticons, which included Weirdwolf, and followed the Autobots to the planet [[Nebulon]].<br /> <br /> Confronting the Autobots in a cave, Decepticons were unable to retrieve the key, but did capture the Autobots' wounded. Weirdwolf dragged [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] back to their ship. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1|The Rebirth, Part 1}} During the ensuing interrogation, the Decepticons were ambushed by the remaining Autobots, who had teamed up with the [[Nebulos|Nebulan]] [[Gort]]'s native rebel forces, and had been rebuilt into [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]. The Decepticons' ship demolished, they fled into the trees, where the Decepticons were abducted by the evil overlords of Nebulon, the [[Hive (G1)|Hive]]. The Hive, too, wished to become Headmasters, and so [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] offered him the Decepticons who transformed into animals. Weirdwolf was paired with Monzo.<br /> <br /> {{note|The bonding of Weirdwolf and Monzo is depicted at the conclusion of an error-filled sequence of events. First, Mindwipe hypnotizes his reluctant partner Vorath, who is mistakenly drawn as Monzo when this occurs. Then Mindwipe and Vorath bond together, alongside Skullcruncher silently bonding with Grax. Then the voice of Grax, emanating from a character drawn as Vorath but colored like Monzo, declares &quot;I am to be bonded to that creature? This project was a bad investment!&quot; while the &quot;creature&quot; he is looking at is Skullcruncher, colored like Weirdwolf. This is immediately followed by the bonding of Weirdwolf and Monzo. Oh, Rebirth, you so crazy!}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Weirdwolfrebirthb.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Rowr.]]<br /> With Headmaster and also [[Targetmaster]] technology behind them, the Decepticons retrieved the Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber in battle. The Autobots quickly struck back with Targetmasters of their own, but the leader of the Hive, [[Zarak (Nebulan)|Zarak]], had rebuilt the Hive's city into [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. Scorponok abducted [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], who was in possession of the key amidst battle, and with the Decepticons inside, it returned to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2|The Rebirth, Part 2}}<br /> <br /> Upon their return, Galvatron was unhappy with Weirdwolf and the other Decepticons' alliance with organic creatures, but reluctantly accepted them into their ranks temporarily since they had possession of the key. The Autobots followed them back to Cybertron, and after a huge battle involving all of the Headmasters, Targetmasters, Scorponok, and the new [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], the Decepticons retreated inside Scorponok just as it was swatted off-planet by volatile surges of the activated Plasma Energy Chamber. Weirdwolf and the other Decepticons retreated to parts unknown. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3|The Rebirth, Part 3}}<br /> <br /> ===Japanese cartoon continuity===<br /> ====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Katsuji Mori]] (Japanese)<br /> <br /> {{note|&quot;Weirdwolf&quot; is the name of the combined small Master robot and the larger [[transtector]] mechanical beast/robot body.

A panel on each shoulder slides down to reveal a bank of non-firing rockets. Monzo forms his head, inserted into a slot on his upper torso.

A yellow and turquoise [[redeco]] of ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Snarl (Cybertron)|Snarl]], Weirdwolf transforms into a techno-organic wolf. His articulated tail features a spring-loaded missile launcher that can fire a transparent orange projectile. Inserting his [[Cyber Planet Key]] causes his lower jaw to open and a pair of transparent orange fangs to extend from his upper mouth. Unlike other Cyber Key gimmicks, this feature does not automatically secure itself into position, so as to allow the user to repeatedly open his mouth with the Cyber Key. However, his mouth can be locked into the open position by rotating down the two pieces of turquoise 'fur' on his cheeks.<br /> <br /> : In robot mode, Weirdwolf is almost his beast mode inverted, as his robot legs are the beast hind legs rotated, and the torso and arms are the beast torso split and flipped. He is armed with his tail, which has an articulated handle that allows it to be held as either a projectile weapon or as a sword. He retains his Cyber Key feature in this mode. He comes with a green-bordered Jungle Planet type Cyber Key, which still has Snarl's [[Key Code]], &quot;'''d43j''',&quot; stamped on its back.<br /> <br /> : This mold was also used for [[Snarl (Cybertron)|Fangwolf Black Version]].<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> [[Image:G1WeirdwolfOriginalHead.jpg|right|250px|thumb|For better quality stills Transformers Wiki would kill.]]<br /> * In early planning stages, the Large Headmasters were to have differently styled heads that would be replaced by their more familiar heads during the Headmaster process.

After the Decepticons were soundly defeated by the Autobots, upgraded with [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster technology]], Weirdwolf was one of the Decepticons who underwent the Headmaster process to even the odds. Now [[Binary bonding|binary bonded]] to the Nebulan [[Monzo]], he and the other Decepticons defeated and captured the Autobot Headmasters. {{storylink|Love and Steel!}}<br /> <br /> The Autobot Headmasters escaped, and the Decepticons followed the Autobots from Nebulos to [[Earth]], where the two factions battled in the vacant [[Mount Saint Hilary]]. Though Fortress Maximus's Headmaster partner, the Nebulan [[Galen]], was killed, Weirdwolf and the other Decepticons were driven off when [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] replaced him. {{storylink|Trial by Fire!}}<br /> <br /> ''When Decepticons from the future travel back in time to 1989, following a group of Autobots attempting to stop a rift in space-time from swallowing the entire universe, Weirdwolf and several other Decepticons are displaced to [[Limbo]].

[[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] aggravated the two sides towards a civil war. During the following Decepticon-on-Decepticon battle, Weirdwolf was run over by [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]. {{storylink|Cold War!|Cold War!}} The Decepticons stopped their civil war and teamed up with the Autobots when it was discovered that Starscream had orchestrated the whole affair to distract from his pursuit of the legendary Transformers knowledge database, the [[Underbase]]. In the wake of this event, Scorponok assumed command of all Decepticons and, with Weirdwolf's help, placed a new headquarters, including an Energon convertor, under a swamp near [[New York City]]. {{storylink|King Con!}}<br /> <br /> Weirdwolf and his Decepticon comrades were once again manipulated by an outside party when both Autobots and Decepticons responded to the [[Air Strike Patrol]]'s stunt at [[MacDill Air Force Base]]. Weirdwolf pounced on Optimus Prime when Prime lost his temper and tore through the rest of the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}} The orchestrator behind this staged battle was revealed when Starscream, rebuilt as a [[Pretender]], arrived and fought both sides in the name of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Skin Deep}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Weirdwolfthevoid.jpg|right|125px|thumb|Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.]] When the second Decepticon civil war broke out between Scorponok's faction and a small group of rogues led by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], Weirdwolf was one of those buried under Scorponok's headquarters near New York. He was unharmed, however, and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] ordered him, [[Misfire]], and [[Fangry]] to the surface to help protect their commander. The battle came to a halt when all Earth-bound Transformers were instantaneously transported to Cybertron to prepare to battle [[Unicron]]. Weirdwolf listened to [[Primus]] (via a possessed [[Emirate Xaaron]]) tell the origin of the Transformers and their imminent destiny. {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}} Unicron subsequently attacked, was defeated, and Weirdwolf was one of the lucky survivors. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}<br /> <br /> Under the pretenses of an Autobot/Decepticon alliance, [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] led Weirdwolf and the other Decepticons to [[Klo]], stranding the Autobots on their dying home planet. {{storylink|Exodus!}} When the Autobots followed them, the Decepticons ambushed them, killing all but five. Bludgeon sent Weirdwolf, [[Octopunch]], [[Fangry]], and [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] to hunt down these stragglers, but Weirdwolf had trouble hunting their scent. Unfortunately, their prey rose before them and overcame their group. Weirdwolf apparently escaped, as he appeared next as part of the main battle, where Optimus Prime had returned. He leaped onto Optimus from behind, but before he could deliver a deadly blow, Grimlock's group had returned victorious, and he was destroyed by a blast Grimlock fired from Octopunch's trident. {{storylink|End of the Road!

Bludgeon ordered a retreat when a gigantic creature who guarded their quarry warned them away. {{storylink|Ghosts|Ghosts}} Later, he and the other Decepticons were ordered to rampage across Earth in order to get Optimus Prime's attention. Weirdwolf, like his comrades, enjoyed this job very much. {{storylink|Tales of Earth Part One}} <br /> <br /> Megatron returned and quickly usurped Bludgeon, but not long after Megatron fell in battle against [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] over [[Tykos]]; Weirdwolf was part of the search party for Megatron's remains. {{storylink|New Dawn}} <br /> <br /> When the Autobots and Decepticons joined forces to defeat Jhiaxus and his [[Cybertronian Empire]], Weirdwolf was present in both the battle on [[Ethos]] {{storylink|Escalation!}} and the final battle on Earth. {{storylink|Total War!}}<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Classics====<br /> [[Image:Weirdwolfgod.jpg|right|180px|thumb|This sounds [[Wheelie (G1)|familiar, doesn't it?

Whether Weirdwolf followed Bug Bite of his own accord or was sublimated by Bug Bite's reverse-engineered [[Cerebro-shell|cerebro-shells]] is anybody's guess. What is known is that Bug Bite had Weirdwolf rebuilt to remove his Headmaster technology, resulting in both a spurned [[Monzo]] and Weirdwolf being even less coherent than he was previously, having to resort to talking to his own wolf head in the absence of his Headmaster partner.<br /> <br /> After the return of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], Bug Bite's team arrived on [[Earth]] under the pretenses of forming a partnership. Weirdwolf and the rest of Bug Bite's team were escorted back to the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], Megatron's current headquarters. Suddenly, due to cerebro shells implanted earlier, nearly all of Megatron's troops doublecrossed him, turning their guns on him at Bug Bite's radio-controlled command. However, Weirdwolf's recreation was his team's downfall; Monzo turned to the Autobots with what information he knew, and a rogue Autobot team led by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] arrived and jammed the cerebro shells' frequency. Weirdwolf was critically damaged by Megatron in the resulting crossfire. {{storylink|Games of Deception|Games of Deception}}<br /> <br /> The barely-alive Weirdwolf and apparently-dead Bug Bite were dragged (literally in the latter's case) back to their ship by [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]].

Suddenly, they returned en masse, descending upon [[Autobot City]] on Earth. Weirdwolf was among their number. After the Decepticons retrieved the [[Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber]], [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] called off their attack and they retreated. But when the Decepticons brought the key to Cybertron to activate the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]], it was retaken by a group of Autobots who were subsequently thrown across the galaxy. [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] took a ship of Decepticons, which included Weirdwolf, and followed the Autobots to the planet [[Nebulon]].<br /> <br /> Confronting the Autobots in a cave, Decepticons were unable to retrieve the key, but did capture the Autobots' wounded. Weirdwolf dragged [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] back to their ship. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1|The Rebirth, Part 1}} During the ensuing interrogation, the Decepticons were ambushed by the remaining Autobots, who had teamed up with the [[Nebulos|Nebulan]] [[Gort]]'s native rebel forces, and had been rebuilt into [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]. The Decepticons' ship demolished, they fled into the trees, where the Decepticons were abducted by the evil overlords of Nebulon, the [[Hive (G1)|Hive]]. The Hive, too, wished to become Headmasters, and so [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] offered him the Decepticons who transformed into animals. Weirdwolf was paired with Monzo.<br /> <br /> {{note|The bonding of Weirdwolf and Monzo is depicted at the conclusion of an error-filled sequence of events.

The Autobots quickly struck back with Targetmasters of their own, but the leader of the Hive, [[Zarak (Nebulan)|Zarak]], had rebuilt the Hive's city into [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. Scorponok abducted [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], who was in possession of the key amidst battle, and with the Decepticons inside, it returned to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2|The Rebirth, Part 2}}<br /> <br /> Upon their return, Galvatron was unhappy with Weirdwolf and the other Decepticons' alliance with organic creatures, but reluctantly accepted them into their ranks temporarily since they had possession of the key. The Autobots followed them back to Cybertron, and after a huge battle involving all of the Headmasters, Targetmasters, Scorponok, and the new [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], the Decepticons retreated inside Scorponok just as it was swatted off-planet by volatile surges of the activated Plasma Energy Chamber.

His articulated tail features a spring-loaded missile launcher that can fire a transparent orange projectile.

However, his mouth can be locked into the open position by rotating down the two pieces of turquoise 'fur' on his cheeks.<br /> <br /> : In robot mode, Weirdwolf is almost his beast mode inverted, as his robot legs are the beast hind legs rotated, and the torso and arms are the beast torso split and flipped.

A yellow and turquoise [[redeco]] of ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Snarl (Cybertron)|Snarl]], Weirdwolf transforms into a techno-organic wolf. His articulated tail features a spring-loaded missile launcher that can fire a transparent orange projectile. Inserting his [[Cyber Planet Key]] causes his lower jaw to open and a pair of transparent orange fangs to extend from his upper mouth. Unlike other Cyber Key gimmicks, this feature does not automatically secure itself into position, so as to allow the user to repeatedly open his mouth with the Cyber Key. However, his mouth can be locked into the open position by rotating down the two pieces of turquoise 'fur' on his cheeks.<br /> <br /> : In robot mode, Weirdwolf is almost his beast mode inverted, as his robot legs are the beast hind legs rotated, and the torso and arms are the beast torso split and flipped. He is armed with his tail, which has an articulated handle that allows it to be held as either a projectile weapon or as a sword. He retains his Cyber Key feature in this mode. He comes with a green-bordered Jungle Planet type Cyber Key, which still has Snarl's [[Key Code]], &quot;'''d43j''',&quot; stamped on its back.<br /> <br /> : This mold was also used for [[Snarl (Cybertron)|Fangwolf Black Version]].<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> [[Image:G1WeirdwolfOriginalHead.jpg|right|250px|thumb|For better quality stills Transformers Wiki would kill.]]<br /> * In early planning stages, the Large Headmasters were to have differently styled heads that would be replaced by their more familiar heads during the Headmaster process.

Follow [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] and his Autobots from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to the peaceful planet [[Nebulos]], they did. After the Decepticons were soundly defeated by the Autobots, upgraded with [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster technology]], Weirdwolf was one of the Decepticons who underwent the Headmaster process to even the odds. Now [[Binary bonding|binary bonded]] to the Nebulan [[Monzo]], he and the other Decepticons defeated and captured the Autobot Headmasters. {{storylink|Love and Steel!}}<br /> <br /> The Autobot Headmasters escaped, and the Decepticons followed the Autobots from Nebulos to [[Earth]], where the two factions battled in the vacant [[Mount Saint Hilary]]. Though Fortress Maximus's Headmaster partner, the Nebulan [[Galen]], was killed, Weirdwolf and the other Decepticons were driven off when [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] replaced him. {{storylink|Trial by Fire!}}<br /> <br /> ''When Decepticons from the future travel back in time to 1989, following a group of Autobots attempting to stop a rift in space-time from swallowing the entire universe, Weirdwolf and several other Decepticons are displaced to [[Limbo]]. Presumably, they are returned when the future Decepticons left for their own time near the end of the ensuing battle.'' {{storylink|Time Wars}}<br /> <br /> Scorponok's Decepticons soon met up with the group of Decepticons stranded on Earth led by [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]. [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] aggravated the two sides towards a civil war. During the following Decepticon-on-Decepticon battle, Weirdwolf was run over by [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]. {{storylink|Cold War!|Cold War!}} The Decepticons stopped their civil war and teamed up with the Autobots when it was discovered that Starscream had orchestrated the whole affair to distract from his pursuit of the legendary Transformers knowledge database, the [[Underbase]]. In the wake of this event, Scorponok assumed command of all Decepticons and, with Weirdwolf's help, placed a new headquarters, including an Energon convertor, under a swamp near [[New York City]]. {{storylink|King Con!}}<br /> <br /> Weirdwolf and his Decepticon comrades were once again manipulated by an outside party when both Autobots and Decepticons responded to the [[Air Strike Patrol]]'s stunt at [[MacDill Air Force Base]]. Weirdwolf pounced on Optimus Prime when Prime lost his temper and tore through the rest of the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}} The orchestrator behind this staged battle was revealed when Starscream, rebuilt as a [[Pretender]], arrived and fought both sides in the name of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Skin Deep}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Weirdwolfthevoid.jpg|right|125px|thumb|Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.]] When the second Decepticon civil war broke out between Scorponok's faction and a small group of rogues led by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], Weirdwolf was one of those buried under Scorponok's headquarters near New York. He was unharmed, however, and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] ordered him, [[Misfire]], and [[Fangry]] to the surface to help protect their commander. The battle came to a halt when all Earth-bound Transformers were instantaneously transported to Cybertron to prepare to battle [[Unicron]]. Weirdwolf listened to [[Primus]] (via a possessed [[Emirate Xaaron]]) tell the origin of the Transformers and their imminent destiny. {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}} Unicron subsequently attacked, was defeated, and Weirdwolf was one of the lucky survivors. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}<br /> <br /> Under the pretenses of an Autobot/Decepticon alliance, [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] led Weirdwolf and the other Decepticons to [[Klo]], stranding the Autobots on their dying home planet. {{storylink|Exodus!}} When the Autobots followed them, the Decepticons ambushed them, killing all but five. Bludgeon sent Weirdwolf, [[Octopunch]], [[Fangry]], and [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] to hunt down these stragglers, but Weirdwolf had trouble hunting their scent. Unfortunately, their prey rose before them and overcame their group. Weirdwolf apparently escaped, as he appeared next as part of the main battle, where Optimus Prime had returned. He leaped onto Optimus from behind, but before he could deliver a deadly blow, Grimlock's group had returned victorious, and he was destroyed by a blast Grimlock fired from Octopunch's trident. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}<br /> <br /> ====Generation 2====<br /> [[Image:Weirdwolfg2.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Don't you mean, &quot;Time for feeding it is&quot;?]]<br /> Weirdwolf was one of countless Decepticons under Bludgeon's command when they fought the Autobots over ownership of a cache of weapons on an unnamed barren world. Bludgeon ordered a retreat when a gigantic creature who guarded their quarry warned them away. {{storylink|Ghosts|Ghosts}} Later, he and the other Decepticons were ordered to rampage across Earth in order to get Optimus Prime's attention. Weirdwolf, like his comrades, enjoyed this job very much. {{storylink|Tales of Earth Part One}} <br /> <br /> Megatron returned and quickly usurped Bludgeon, but not long after Megatron fell in battle against [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] over [[Tykos]]; Weirdwolf was part of the search party for Megatron's remains. {{storylink|New Dawn}} <br /> <br /> When the Autobots and Decepticons joined forces to defeat Jhiaxus and his [[Cybertronian Empire]], Weirdwolf was present in both the battle on [[Ethos]] {{storylink|Escalation!}} and the final battle on Earth. {{storylink|Total War!}}<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Classics====<br /> [[Image:Weirdwolfgod.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Stop that rhyming now, I mean it!]]<br /> In the fifteen years after the battle on Klo, Weirdwolf was one of the Decepticons under the command of the spacefaring [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] and assigned to the command of the mysterious [[Bug Bite (G1)|Bug Bite]]. Whether Weirdwolf followed Bug Bite of his own accord or was sublimated by Bug Bite's reverse-engineered [[Cerebro-shell|cerebro-shells]] is anybody's guess. What is known is that Bug Bite had Weirdwolf rebuilt to remove his Headmaster technology, resulting in both a spurned [[Monzo]] and Weirdwolf being even less coherent than he was previously, having to resort to talking to his own wolf head in the absence of his Headmaster partner.<br /> <br /> After the return of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], Bug Bite's team arrived on [[Earth]] under the pretenses of forming a partnership. Weirdwolf and the rest of Bug Bite's team were escorted back to the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], Megatron's current headquarters. Suddenly, due to cerebro shells implanted earlier, nearly all of Megatron's troops doublecrossed him, turning their guns on him at Bug Bite's radio-controlled command. However, Weirdwolf's recreation was his team's downfall; Monzo turned to the Autobots with what information he knew, and a rogue Autobot team led by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] arrived and jammed the cerebro shells' frequency. Weirdwolf was critically damaged by Megatron in the resulting crossfire. {{storylink|Games of Deception|Games of Deception}}<br /> <br /> The barely-alive Weirdwolf and apparently-dead Bug Bite were dragged (literally in the latter's case) back to their ship by [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]]. He put Weirdwolf into a newly-installed [[CR chamber]] to heal. {{storylink|Withered Hope|Withered Hope}}<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> ===Generation 1 cartoon===<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Stan Jones]] (English, casting only)<br /> <br /> [[Image:Weirdwolfrebirthr.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Growl.]]<br /> After the return of Optimus Prime, the Decepticons were scattered across the galaxy. Suddenly, they returned en masse, descending upon [[Autobot City]] on Earth. Weirdwolf was among their number. After the Decepticons retrieved the [[Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber]], [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] called off their attack and they retreated. But when the Decepticons brought the key to Cybertron to activate the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]], it was retaken by a group of Autobots who were subsequently thrown across the galaxy. [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] took a ship of Decepticons, which included Weirdwolf, and followed the Autobots to the planet [[Nebulon]].<br /> <br /> Confronting the Autobots in a cave, Decepticons were unable to retrieve the key, but did capture the Autobots' wounded. Weirdwolf dragged [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] back to their ship. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1|The Rebirth, Part 1}} During the ensuing interrogation, the Decepticons were ambushed by the remaining Autobots, who had teamed up with the [[Nebulos|Nebulan]] [[Gort]]'s native rebel forces, and had been rebuilt into [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]. The Decepticons' ship demolished, they fled into the trees, where the Decepticons were abducted by the evil overlords of Nebulon, the [[Hive (G1)|Hive]]. The Hive, too, wished to become Headmasters, and so [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] offered him the Decepticons who transformed into animals. Weirdwolf was paired with Monzo.<br /> <br /> {{note|The bonding of Weirdwolf and Monzo is depicted at the conclusion of an error-filled sequence of events. First, Mindwipe hypnotizes his reluctant partner Vorath, who is mistakenly drawn as Monzo when this occurs. Then Mindwipe and Vorath bond together, alongside Skullcruncher silently bonding with Grax. Then the voice of Grax, emanating from a character drawn as Vorath but colored like Monzo, declares &quot;I am to be bonded to that creature? This project was a bad investment!&quot; while the &quot;creature&quot; he is looking at is Skullcruncher, colored like Weirdwolf. This is immediately followed by the bonding of Weirdwolf and Monzo. Oh, Rebirth, you so crazy!}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:Weirdwolfrebirthb.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Rowr.]]<br /> With Headmaster and also [[Targetmaster]] technology behind them, the Decepticons retrieved the Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber in battle. The Autobots quickly struck back with Targetmasters of their own, but the leader of the Hive, [[Zarak (Nebulan)|Zarak]], had rebuilt the Hive's city into [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. Scorponok abducted [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], who was in possession of the key amidst battle, and with the Decepticons inside, it returned to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2|The Rebirth, Part 2}}<br /> <br /> Upon their return, Galvatron was unhappy with Weirdwolf and the other Decepticons' alliance with organic creatures, but reluctantly accepted them into their ranks temporarily since they had possession of the key. The Autobots followed them back to Cybertron, and after a huge battle involving all of the Headmasters, Targetmasters, Scorponok, and the new [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], the Decepticons retreated inside Scorponok just as it was swatted off-planet by volatile surges of the activated Plasma Energy Chamber. Weirdwolf and the other Decepticons retreated to parts unknown. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3|The Rebirth, Part 3}}<br /> <br /> ===Japanese cartoon continuity===<br /> ====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====<br /> :''Voice actor:'' [[Katsuji Mori]] (Japanese)<br /> <br /> {{note|&quot;Weirdwolf&quot; is the name of the combined small Master robot and the larger [[transtector]] mechanical beast/robot body.
