Drench (G1)

{{disambig3|Drench}}

:''Drench is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Generation 2]] section of the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.''

'''Drench''' is the kind of bot that will steal a [[Mini-spy]]'s energon credits, or tie a firecracker to a [[glitch mouse|glitch mouse's]] tail. (To be fair, [[Firecracker|the pea-brained Go-Bot]] was just asking for that last one.) He's not so pleasant, though, when he's in a ''bad'' mood. Cross him, he'll take a ''terrible'' revenge.

Fortunately, this mean-spirited, foul-tempered bully is not very brave. Oh, he's certainly willing to blast limbs off [[Empties]] with his high-pressure fluid cannon, but if their friends show up to help, Drench is sure to change to his speedy vehicle mode and flee back to his safe desk job, where he can push his subordinates around with impunity, the short-tempered tyrant of the Decepticon coordination department.

Everyone hates him and, this being the Decepticons, it's likely he would've "accidentally" tripped into the Smelting Pool if not for one thing - he can coordinate units of Decepticons with incredible efficiency. He's an indispensible part of the Decepticon war machine, meaning you'll have to lump it when he sticks your head down the bog.

Were this office bully to meet the [[Drench (Autobot)|youthful Autobot nerd]] who shares his name, the results would be familiar to anybody with school experience. Most likely they'd involve a waste-disposal unit.

===Toy catalogue comic===

For some reason Drench is seen driving away from two [[Fearswoop]]s and warning somebody (presumably the Autobots) that Decepticon forces were about to strike. Crazy europeans!

===''Generation 2'' Marvel UK comic continuity===

The [[Stormtrooper]]s were part of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon's]] forces dispatched on [[Earth]] to basically wreck stuff until [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] came to stop them. When [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] appeared to take back leadership of the Decepticons, the Stormtroopers were called in to attack Megatron. Aquablast questioned if they should, since he (Megatron) was a former Decepticon leader and all, but apparently that doesn't hold much water (ha ha), so they blasted him (Megatron) anyway.

: Drench transforms into a 1986 Chevrolet Corvette Indy concept car. His long-barreled water cannon goes under his car form, with the bellows in back, and the nozzle under Drench's front bumper. His hood uses color-changing paint, turning pale when exposed to warm water.

:He was only available in various European, Australian and New Zealand markets.

Grand Galvatron

203.217.72.199:

:''Grand Galvatron is a hypothetical body from the [[The Headmasters (franchise)|Headmasters]] portion of the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Grandgalvatron.jpg|right|250px|thumb|No, more like ''Grande'' Galvatron.]]
'''Grand Galvatron''' was to be the pinnacle of [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]'s lust for Universal domination. Inspired by his once-master [[Unicron]], Grand Galvatron would have been a massive, planet-sized, sentient war machine forged from the planet [[Earth]] as well as the corpses of the most elite warriors within the Decepticon ranks.

Goofy-looking, though.

:''RTM1 dub name:'' '''Unicorn''' (Yes, you read that right.)

==Fiction==
===''The Headmasters'' cartoon===
After surviving the destruction of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and reclaiming leadership of the Decepticons, Galvatron sent his forces on a campaign to plunder energy all across the galaxy. His true schemes remained a mystery to all those around him, but eventually [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] realised that he planned to incorporate the Earth into his system.

Eventually, he revealed to his most trusted warrior, [[Sixshot]], that he intended to use the energy to turn [[Earth]] into his new Unicron-sized body and become Grand Galvatron. He also revealed to Sixshot that such a body would require parts from his most powerful and skilled warriors...Sixshot included. This didn't sit well with Sixshot (gee, wonder why), who betrayed Galvatron and left him to battle the [[Autobot]] [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] alone. Galvatron lost the battle and was buried alive beneath an iceberg by the Headmasters' [[Head Formation]]. His dreams of becoming Grand Galvatron were never fulfilled. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}}

==Notes==
* In the [[RTM 1 dub]], while showing his plans to Sixshot, Galvatron proudly proclaims, "This is Unicorn!" Sixshot reacts with a hilariously exaggerated "Whoaaaa!" Apparently, a member of the dubbing team found out about [[Unicron]] and tried (unsuccessfully) to tie the two concepts together.

[[Image:BWNAnimeRartorarta1.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Defies logic by being uglier than his name.]]
'''Rartorata''' (ラートラータ ''Rātorāta'', also spelled Rartorarta, Rartalarta, [[Red Alert (disambiguation)|Red Alert]], Roto-Rooter, [[Patton Oswalt|Ratatouille]], and [[Nancy]]) is a cruel servitor of [[Unicron]] with an impossibly goofy name that basically fails to make sense in any language, be it human or [[Cybertronian languages|Cybertronian]]. Rartorata is easily the most vicious of the Blendtron trio, ready to sacrifice anything, even his team-mates [[Elephorca]] and [[Drancron]], to accomplish his mission.

Besides transforming into a hideous fish/bee monster, Rattata carries a "ceremonial rapid-fire poison arrow launcher", which may in fact make him some kind of ninja. Sometimes there are lots of him.

While his resemblance to [[Injector]] has been noted by the Predacon forces, he is apparently ''much'' bigger than the Fuzor.

You go, Lartarartolarltorartlroar.

In the wake of Unicron's [[The Void! (US)|last]] attempt at eating Cybertron, the hidden cells of [[Unicron cultist|cultists]] continued to operate in secret. As the dead god's consciousness called out to his scattered followers, Larrylatta was chosen to be reformatted into a Blendtron. Joining with former construction bot [[Elephorca]] and ex-gladiator [[Drancron]], he was instructed by the Chaos Bringer to help gather malcontents to the warlord [[Shokaract]]. {{storylink|Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook 3}}

Flattering their "leader" and offering him capsules of [[Angolmois]], the Blendtrons convinced Shokaract they were facilitating his ascension to the pantheon of [[Lords of Chaos|Dark Gods]] that spawned Unicron himself. As his [[Matrix of Conquest|Anti-Matrix]] filled, he would be transfigured and Cybertron would be remade in his image. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 1|The Ascending #1}} However, they were in secret agents of Unicron, seeking only to use Shokaract as a "vessel" for the resurrection of their true patron.

Raratartarsauce was dispatched by Unicron to Earth to deal with the possible threat of the gathered Maximal and Predacon troops, and upon arriving immediately stung [[Razorbeast]], turning him into a raging feral animal. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 2|The Ascending #2}} Subdued by the combined Maximal and Predacon forces, Rakorata was freed when his fellow Blendtrons arrived.

*'''Rātorāta''' (Deluxe Blentron, 1999)
*''Japanese ID number'': '''X-6'''
*''Accessories'': Spring-loaded "ceremonial rapid-fire poison arrow launcher", "poison arrow"

: Lertlerta is a barely-altered [[redeco]] of the ''[[Beast Wars (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' Deluxe [[Fuzor]] [[Injector]], transforming into a hornet-lionfish fusion. Pressing down on a plate on the back of his head in either mode tilts it forward and deploys spring-loaded spines on his skull. His beast-mode stinger detaches to form a spring loaded missile launcher (the aforementioned "ceremonial rapid-fire poison arrow launcher").

: Basically, the only differences between Rappakaffalatta and Injector are that Throatwarbler Mangrove has a lighter, charcoal gray plastic instead of Injector's black.

==Trivia==
* Many attempts were made to [[Romanization|romanize]] the character's nonsense name until finally, in 2007, the [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] ''Beast Wars'' comics set down a canonical English name for the little fella. Which ''still'' doesn't make any goddamn sense. It's like the whole [[Deathsaurus]] thing all over again, only there wasn't an option that looked like it ''meant'' something. You'd think they could have just called him "Dave" or something.

* One vaguely likely explanation for the name of this guy is that the scientific name for his lionfish half is ''Pterois '''lunulata''''', and even that's a bit of a stretch. Considering 'L' is pronounced like an 'R' in Japanese, this seems the most likely explanation... well, the ''only'' explanation.

:''Black Bighorn is an evil clone from the [[Beast Wars II (franchise)|Beast Wars II]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:BlackBighorn.jpg|right|250px|thumb|A name like "Black Bighorn" is just ''begging'' for double-entendres.]]
"'''Black Bighorn'''" is a black and evil clone of [[Bighorn]].

==Fiction==
===''Beast Wars II'' cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' ? (Japanese)

A [[Copy beam machine|mysterious device]] created the nefarious clone of [[Lio Convoy]], [[Black Lio Convoy]]. Black Lio Convoy escaped the [[Maximal|Maximals]], taking the camera with him. Black Lio Convoy laid a trap for the Maximals, waiting below a waterfall for them to arrive—then stepped aside to reveal the copy machine, which scanned the Maximals and created evil copies of Bighorn, [[Tasmania Kid]], [[Apache]] and [[Scuba]].

"[[Black Apache]]", "Black Bighorn", "[[Black Scuba]]", and "[[Black Tasmania Kid]]" overpowered their Maximal counterparts. Fortunately, though Black Lio Convoy possessed Lio Convoy's prodigious strength, he did not possess his knowledge, nor did he notice that one Maximal, [[Diver (BWII)|Diver]], was strangely absent. The waterfall Black Lio Convoy chose for his ambush was in fact the [[Niagara Base]], Diver's concealed outpost. Triggering snares to hold the copies in place, Diver bombarded the black Maximals other than Black Lio Convoy. The black clones' death was signaled with their outlines being filled with a rainbow effect and then them disappearing. {{storylink|The Black Lio Convoy|The Black Lio Convoy}}
