Makeshift (Prime)

2011-10-05T19:15:57Z

{{faction|decepticon}}
{{disambig3|Makeshift}}
:''Makeshift is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[Image:ConJob-Makeshiftshadow.jpg|right|thumb|300px|A shapeshifter who doesn't like sunlight. [[Zartan|Hmmm.]]]]

'''Makeshift''', code designate '''777''', is a [[Shifter]], a legendary breed of Cybertronian who can change his shape into any form that has roughly the same mass. More, he can alter his voice and mannerisms to impersonate other Transformers. He's pretty good at it. Makeshift has claimed under interrogation that he doesn't kill his prey when it's not necessary, but he's not the most honest of robots.

Makeshift has formed a distinct enmity with the sometimes-Decepticon [[Axer (Prime)|Axer]].

==Fiction==
===''Prime'' cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' [[James Horan]]/[[Kevin Michael Richardson]] (English)
Makeshift was one of the many troops under [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]'s command. When [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]]'s old [[Wrecker]] buddy [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] was on his way to [[Earth]], [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] downloaded the [[Autobot]]'s form and war record into Makeshift, so that he could impersonate Wheeljack. The real Wheeljack was captured, and Makeshift took his place on the battlefield in time for Bulkhead, [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] to arrive.

[[Image:ConJob-Makeshifthostage.jpg|thumb|300px|left|That's NOT how you treat the natives here.]]
The Autobots accepted Makeshift as Wheeljack and held an impromptu party. Makeshift attempted to fulfill his mission and activate the [[GroundBridge]] for the Decepticons to storm in through, but it had been damaged in a recent [[Scraplet]] attack, and [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] had it deactivated for repairs. As Bulkhead's suspicion rose, Makeshift asked to be shown around by [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]]. He managed to learn the location of the [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|Autobot base]] from her, and asked if she could show her where the exit was. This led them back to the main control room, where a suspicious Bulkhead demanded he tell the story of the [[Battle of Darkmount Pass]]. Makeshift recalled the information from Wheeljack's war record, but got a vital fact wrong. When Bulkhead pointed out his error, Makeshift realized he'd been made, and took Miko hostage, threatening to "squeeze her into pulp".

The ground bridge was eventually ready, and Makeshift activated it at the coordinates he'd been given. As he prepared to go through it, Wheeljack, who'd escaped the Decepticons, came through in the other direction. The pair dueled with their swords until Wheeljack was victorious, and Bulkhead threw Makeshift through the ground bridge. Arriving on the top of the [[Nemesis (Prime)|Decepticon ship]], Makeshift started to report the location of the Autobot base, but he had failed to notice that the grenade he carried at his hip had been set off by the Autobots. As Starscream and Soundwave bailed, Makeshift was caught in the explosion. {{storylink|Con Job}}

===''Exiles''===
{{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}
{{charstubfiction}}

==Notes==
* While being at the center of an explosion has often been a nonfatal event for [[Transformer]]s in past series, ''Prime'' executive producer [[Jeff Kline]] has stated that "When we kill a character, we kill a character."<ref>[http://www.toonzone.net/news/articles/36193/transformers-prime-premiere-report-and-video-clip-plus-season-two-confirmation ToonZone.net summary of a Q&A session with the ''Prime'' creative team]</ref> At [[BotCon 2011]], the ''Prime'' show runners deemed that Makeshift was too overpowered to resurrect.

Talk:Transformers: Exiles

208.100.40.45: /* Alpha Trion under Primes? */

Amazon has changed its release date for Exiles from this to 10/4. Anyone know if this is an official change or just an Amazon thing? --[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 10:50, 25 August 2011 (EDT)

Most websites are reporting October 4th, not just Amazon. I put in a reserve at Barnes and Noble and they said it was the 4th. Can someone verify whether this is now the official/pushed back release date?

== Weeellll Everywhere is saying Oct 4 sooo? ==

Do we want to change it? Or are we gonna solve the problem by letting the date just pass?--[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 19:40, 21 September 2011 (EDT)
:Amazon.co.uk is still giving a September 27 release date for the UK. Which could just be an un-updated entry... but then, we did get Exodus in paperback here months and months before the US did, so I dunno, we genuinely could be working to a different schedule. I'll let y'all know if they try to ship it come the day... - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 20:17, 21 September 2011 (EDT)
::I'm guessing it didn't? [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 17:33, 2 October 2011 (EDT)
:::Oh, yes, I forgot. No, they did not. Not too surprised. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 17:55, 2 October 2011 (EDT)

== Alpha Trion under Primes? ==

Should Alpha Trion be under Primes in the cast lists? That's basically where the Thirteen go and he was one of them before he was an Autobot... If he officially is an Autobot. Thoughts? --[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 15:11, 5 October 2011 (EDT)
:I changed it to Thirteen so that if everyone agrees to have him under there, he won't be out of place if it turns out Hasbro does go with the "seven Primes within the 13" thing. - 208.100.40.45

Talk:One Shall Rise, Part 1

2011-10-03T21:06:33Z

208.100.40.45: /* I don't believe we see all thirteen of the Thirteen. */

No such luck, boyos. Teletoon's airing a rerun of Predatory. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 12:02, 28 August 2011 (EDT)
:Huh, weird, I wonder if the Hub got on their backs. Well, I guess we can leave the episode page up so at least people know what's happening. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 15:46, 28 August 2011 (EDT)
::The TVGuide and sattelite listings all listed a new episode, so it seems like a last minute change imposed by the Hub, yes. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 15:54, 28 August 2011 (EDT)
:::Well, is there any information that may indicate the real airdate? [[Special:Contributions/68.147.45.66|68.147.45.66]] 19:54, 28 August 2011 (EDT)
::::Extrapolating from One Shall Fall's Hub airdate, October 1. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 20:09, 28 August 2011 (EDT)
:::::...and you were right! [[Special:Contributions/68.147.45.66|68.147.45.66]] 23:36, 4 September 2011 (EDT)
Why you don't make page for part 2, if there is part 1, there should be part 2.--Unregistred Contributor 15:35, 3 September 2011 (EDT)
:This page is pretty bare bones itself, a page for part 2 would be useless as it would have nothing on it. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 09:51, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

==Title==
Shouldn't it be "One Shall Rise, Part 1", in the same style as "[[Darkness Rising, Part 1]]", etc.? Since they don't show titles in the episodes, we might as well go for consistency. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 10:46, 3 September 2011 (EDT)
:It consistently has it with a dash on MSN and TVGuide.ca, but then it has a colon on the Darkness Rising episodes and we seem to be ignoring those too, so... --[[User:Abates|abates]] 18:51, 3 September 2011 (EDT)
::I suppose we'll have to wait for the DVDs or an official listing from Hasbro (or scripts, if we're remarkably lucky) for final confirmation on what punctuation mark to use. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 20:17, 3 September 2011 (EDT)
:::Yeah, I was using the dash in my storylinks because that's what the info on my DVR used. Hrm. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 22:00, 1 October 2011 (EDT)

==Airing==
Did it air? --[[Special:Contributions/82.39.157.220|82.39.157.220]] 14:11, 4 September 2011 (EDT)
:As the article says, it did not air and is now scheduled to air on the first of October. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 14:37, 4 September 2011 (EDT)

==Singapore==
Can we note that it aired in Singapore today? --[[Special:Contributions/82.39.157.220|82.39.157.220]] 12:32, 29 September 2011 (EDT)

== I don't believe we see all thirteen of the Thirteen. ==

In the first picture we're shown, we only see 12 designs, then the in the other two images, there's eleven in each.

[[Media:OneShallRise1-TheThirteen.jpg]] - In this picture, we see eleven clearly, with the twelfth (likely Solus) cut off at the far right. I don't think there was any other character to the far left.

I believe Megatronus hasn't been shown to us. The reason I bring this up is because of the last note on the page "This is the first time in any Transformers franchise where we catch a glimpse of all thirteen of the Original Transformers. Finally."

I don't believe we have. [[User:Karhukjnsi|Karhukjnsi]] 15:41, 2 October 2011 (EDT)
:Yup, the most we see (at once) is eleven and a half. Unless we see different ones in different shots. Though I actually took the last shot showing a distinct eleven surrounding the Core of Cybertron to signify that Megatronus and the Liege Maximo had both sided with Unicron and had been cast out with him. - [[User:Queso|¡Usa El Queso!]] <sup>[[User talk:Queso|Complain here]]</sup> 16:38, 2 October 2011 (EDT)
::I dunno. To be honest, the one with the glowing fiery eyes and sparkly by may be Megatronus. He's big and hulking like his BotCon design, and has a rather Decepticon insignia-looking face in the second image. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] 16:02, 3 October 2011 (EDT)
:::Or it could be Nexus, who could possess such traits as the guardian of rarified energon. And if Hasbro is sticking with the movie combiner aesthetic that could explain the hulking frame. Megatronus could be the guy with the...Megatron-shaped head. It's all too unclear.{{unsigned|209.51.184.13}}
::::Megatronus was shown at BotCon to be a big hulking guy with a Con logo-styled head, not a Megatron-styled head. And [[Nexus Prime|Nexus' page]] already labels him as the visor dude on the far left of the first image. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] 16:35, 3 October 2011 (EDT)
:::::I don't remember him being described as looking like a beast though, while I do remember some reports saying Nexus looked rather beastly. Someone on TFW even said he almost looked like he had fur IIRC. And it wouldn't surprise me if the concept art got changed, or if the art used in the show was actually the concept art and what was shown at Botcon was finalized, and they don't match up. Isn't Vector Prime supposed to look pretty much like his Cybertron design but with a starry cape? And yet here we've got one guy who looks clearly like VP with no cape and a guy with a starry cape who looks nothing like VP.{{unsigned|209.51.184.13}}
