Emperor of Destruction

209.244.43.211: /* Footnote */

:''Emperor of Destruction is a rank used in all Japanese continuities.''

The term '''"Emperor of Destruction"''' (破壊大帝 ''Hakai Taitei'') refers to the highest-ranking member of the [[Decepticon]], [[Predacon (disambiguation)|Predacon]] or [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] military. The Emperor of Destruction is the Supreme Commander of the entire race, bowing to no higher authority.

It is comparable to the rank of [[Supreme Commander]] of the [[Autobot]] forces.

Vehicon General

2008-02-09T21:32:16Z

209.244.43.211:

'''Vehicon Generals''' are the leaders of [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron's]] Vehicon army during [[Beast Machines]]. Besides Megatron himself, they are the only ones granted [[Spark|Sparks]].

The generals are:

*[[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]]: Commander of the [[Tank Drone]]s. Uses the spark of [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]].

*[[Thrust (BM)|Thrust]]: Commander of the [[Motorcycle Drone]]s. Uses the spark of [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]].

*[[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]]: Commander of the [[Sonic Attack Jet|Aero Drones]]. Uses the spark of [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]].

*[[Obsidian|Obsidian]]: Commander of the [[Copter Drone]]s. Uses his own, unaltered spark.

*[[Strika (BM)|Strika]]: Commander of the [[Ground Drone]]s. Uses her own, unaltered spark.

Tankor, Thrust and Jetstorm's sparks are used merely to power the [[shell program]]s that make up their personality matrices. Obsidian and Strika are, reportedly, two of the greatest military strategists in Cybertron history.

Additionally, there are three generals who are exclusive to 3H's [[Universe (comic)|''Wreckers'']] comics:

*[[Quake]]: Commander of the Experimental Tank Drones. Uses his own, unaltered spark.

*[[Blastcharge (BM)|Blastcharge]]: Commander of the Experimental Six-Wheeler Drones. Uses his own, unaltered spark.

*[[Spy Streak]]: Commander of the Experimental Stealth Drones. Uses his own, unaltered spark.

Megatron (RID)

2008-02-09T21:25:39Z

209.244.43.211:

{{Template:Disambig3|Megatron}}
{{disambig3|Galvatron}}
{{disambig2|Megatron, whose original name was Gigatron in Japan|the [[Powermaster]]|Gigatron}}

:''Megatron is the [[Predacon (RID)|Predacons]] [[Emperor of Destruction|leader]] from the [[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]] [[continuity family]]. He later upgrades into '''Galvatron'''.''

[[Image:RIDMegatronGrippy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Let's see, I conquered Care-a-lot, Ponyville, Sesame Street, that planet Gumby came from...]]

'''Megatron''' is the leader of the [[Predacon (RID)|Predacons]]. He claims to have decimated numerous planets during his campaign for Predacon supremacy before coming to [[Earth]] in search of the megaweapon [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]]. He appears to have come into conflict with Optimus Prime and his Autobots numerous times before.

Although Megatron is a powerful warrior he typically leaves the fighting to his Predacon lackies, such as [[Sky-Byte]], preferring to stalk around his ship/base the [[Megastar]] and berate his underlings when they inevitably fail. Upon his conversion to '''Galvatron''', he is a ''lot'' more active and effective.

{{note|In ''Car Robots'', each of Gigatron's alternate modes not only have their own voice, but their own personality. Hooray for leaders who're even crazier than G1 Galvatron!}}

:''Japanese name:'' '''Gigatron''' (Megatron), '''Devil Gigatron''' (Galvatron)

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
====''Robots in Disguise''====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Daniel Riordan]] (English), [[Yōichi Kobiyama]] (Japanese)

[[Megatron]] arrives on Earth in search of [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]]. He abducts [[Doctor Onishi]], an energy expert who has discovered underground energy anomalies that reveal Maximus' initial location. Onishi is kept unconscious and his brain is scanned by psycho-probes; he proves surprisingly resistant to this technique, and Megatron wastes some time tracking down apparent clues that had really just been strong but meaningless memories in Onishi's psyche. For one thing, he REALLY liked vintage trains.

While acquiring and assembling the items necessary in order to locate Fortress Maximus' commanding entity [[Cerebros (RID)|Cerebros]], Megatron comes into contact with the Orb of Sigma, an extremely powerful ancient Autobot relic. Exposure to the Orb's energies transforms Megatron into [[Galvatron]]. The changes seem to be more than armor-deep: Galvatron proclaims Megatron dead and he himself to be an entirely new person. His new powers include the ability to expand or shrink himself immensely; total immunity to extremes of temperature and pressure; causing volcanic eruptions; paralyzing other Transformers; mentally reprogramming his Decepticon minions; and acting as an energy vampire, in the penultimate episode drawing masses of energy from Fortress Maximus. He is also revealed to have zillions of tiny cyber-bats inside his body, regurgitating them from his mouth and sending them on missions as far away as the other side of the planet. The bats act as roving siphons, draining energy from Transformers, machines, and even humans into themselves and then returning to Galvatron, who swallows them and gains their collective stolen power. When attached to a human, the bats overrule all thoughts and turn their victims into Galvatron's slaves. It makes sense for Galvatron to have such a weapon: the belief in goodness, as practiced by human children, is the single most powerful energy source in the universe and he intends to use it for his own ends.

{{note|In the original ''Car Robots'', he was draining energy from children via his bats; in the dub, this was changed to him merely taking control of them to force the Autobots to back down.}}

When [[Optimus Prime]] uses the [[Matrix Blade]] to destroy Galvatron's lance weapon, the resulting explosion (and apparent release of Galvatron's absorbed energies) is enough to defeat the villain. He is last seen being exiled to the Asteroid Prison Colony, swearing that he will return to seek revenge.

*'''Gigatron'''/'''Megatron''' (Ultra, 2000/2001)
:''Japanese ID number'': '''D-001'''

[[Image:RID_Megatron_toy.jpg|thumb|left|150px|It sorta looks like a bat, right?]]

: The ''only'' new-mold badguy from the ''Car Robots'' line, Gigatron has six different configurations: robot, jet, bat, two-headed dragon, giant hand (''awesome''), and roadster. His hand mode actually has a spring-loaded "gripping" gimmick (''oh hell yeah''). He comes with a pair of pressure-launch missile launchers that can double as swords, or be combined to form a single naginata-like weapon.

: For the [[Hasbro]] ''Robots in Disguise'' line, Megatron was released using the later "Devil Gigatron" version of the mold, meaning it was capable of transforming into four more forms, though these were never advertised. The blades of his missiles were also rounded off a bit more to comply with [[for safety reasons|safety standards]].

: This mold (the Hasbro version) was also used to make [[BotCon 2005]]'s [[Deathsaurus]].

[[Image:RIDGalvatron2.jpg|right|thumb|150px|..., six little alt-modes. Seven little, eight little, nine little alt-modes. Ten little modes has he.]]

: [[Redeco]]ed into a color scheme more traditionally associated with "dead" in Japan, "Devil Gigatron" was also [[retool]]ed to allow four more configurations, making him the Transformer with the most official alt-modes in a single body. Aside from the original six configurations, he can now also turn into a mammoth, a hydroplane "transport", a winged griffin, and a one-headed dragon.

: This version was used for all Hasbro-released incarnations of the mold, and would presumably be used for all future Takara ones too.

* '''Megatron Megabolt''' (Deluxe, 2002)

[[Image:RID_MegatronMegabolt_toy.jpg|thumb|left|180px|I'm in the wrong line, aren't I?]]

: Originally developed for the ''[[Beast Machines]]'' toy line but shelved, it finally saw release as a Kay-Bee [[exclusive]]. Megabolt Megatron transforms into a head (its design based on the [[Grand Mal]]) with scuttling spider-leg action, opening jaw for chip-eating action, and a hidden spring-loaded missile launcher in its mouth. In robot mode, the launcher swings over his head, placing a battle mask down over his face.

: If one removes the toy's spider-legs in head mode, it fits into the head socket to the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] main body.

: This mold was also used to make [[Megabolt]], and as the guy it was originally supposed to be in ''[[Beast Wars Returns]]'' as "[[Megatron (BW)|Megahead Megatron]]".

{{picsneeded}}

[[Image:Steering wheel robot.JPG|250px|thumb|''TRON'''s Grid Bug, in a cameo that will surprise you...]]
The '''steering wheel robot''' is the steering wheel of a Cadillac SUV, transformed into a creepy Transformer with spider-like limbs. It was given life when [[Sam Witwicky]] accidentally dropped the [[All Spark]]. It seems to like its owner and hugs her face.

It's not a [[Legion]] . . . Thank [[Primus|God]].

==''Transformers'' (2007) film==
When Sam accidentally drops the All Spark, he bumps into a teenage girl's car. She is angry, and believes he dented her car. This is forgotten as the steering wheel of her car develops spider-like legs, wrenches itself free from the steering column, and clamps itself onto her face, hugging her head while she lets out muffled screams. It is unknown if the whole car was affected by the dropped All Spark or just the steering wheel alone, and whether the girl survived the ominous face-hugging steering wheel.

The term '''"Emperor of Destruction"''' (破壊大帝 ''Hakai Taitei'') refers to the highest-ranking member of the [[Decepticon]] or [[Predacon]] military. The Emperor of Destruction is the Supreme Commander of the entire race, bowing to no higher authority.

It is comparable to the rank of [[Supreme Commander]] of the [[Autobot]] forces.

Second-in-command

2008-01-14T17:14:49Z

209.244.43.211:

{{stub}}

The '''second-in-command''' refers to a [[Transformer]] whose status is...well, second to the commander's. A Transformer who is second-in-command is not necessarily ranked '''Sub-Commander''', while a Transformer ranked Sub-Commander is usually the second-in-command. The rank generally varies between factions. For the [[Autobot]]s and the [[Maximal]]s, the rank is usually overlooked, but it still receives [[Sub-Commander's Day|its own holiday]]. For the [[Decepticon]]s, choosing a Second-in-Command is a very tough decision. Pick one too loyal, and everyone will ignore him. Pick one too bold, and the leader may find himself [[scrap]].

Second-in-command

2008-01-14T17:10:26Z

209.244.43.211: /* Predacon seconds-in-command */

{{stub}}

The '''second-in-command''' refers to a [[Transformer]] whose status is...well, second to the commander's. A Transformer who is second-in-command is not necessarily ranked Sub-Commander, while a Transformer ranked Sub-Commander is usually the second-in-command. The rank generally varies between factions. For the [[Autobot]]s and the [[Maximal]]s, the rank is usually overlooked, but it still receives [[Sub-Commander's Day|its own holiday]]. For the [[Decepticon]]s, choosing a Second-in-Command is a very tough decision. Pick one too loyal, and everyone will ignore him. Pick one too bold, and the leader may find himself [[scrap]].

:''Megatron is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Megatronanimated.jpg|300px|thumb|An insult to [[Megatron (G1)|G1]], we swear!]]
If you were to ask '''Megatron''' to describe himself in one word, he'd probably go with "heroic". He sees himself as a freedom fighter, leading the Decepticons out of the days of [[Autobot]] tyranny. The fact he's hoping to replace that with [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon tyranny]] isn't really a concern. A fanatic at heart, he revels in every Autobot who suffers at Decepticon hands and doesn't register humans as anything more then "collateral damage."

Megatron demands loyalty from the Decepticons, loyalty he gains by his awe-inspiring power. With the combined threat of a sharp mind, his [[fusion cannon]], a deadly sword and simple brute strength, there aren't many who'd dare cross him. Still, he has no problem manhandling troops as a gentle reminder.

{{spoiler}}

[[Image:Megatron Cybertron.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Pointier than thou.]]

Aboard his massive flagship, Megatron went after the ''Ark'' after detecting the [[All Spark (Animated)|All Spark]]. When [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] volunteered to attack, Megs saw right through him, pointing out "I didn't spend the last four million solar cycles combing the galaxy just so you can get your greasy wings on the All Spark." He even crumpled a part of said wings to make his point. Later, Starscream approached the Decepticon leader again, wishing him "luck", to which Megatron replied, "I don't believe in luck." Starscream got his own back by planting a bomb on Megatron, which blew just as his fusion cannon was about to breach the ''Ark'''s hull. The Autobot crew managed to steer the now-failing ship through an asteroid field and into a nearby [[space bridge]].

With the ''Ark'' now plummeting through the Earth's atmosphere, a wounded Megatron still managed to thrash the crew soundly and nearly claimed the All Spark. Quick thinking on the part of [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] sent the Decepticon leader out the cargo hatch and into freefall. Megatron [[Megatron (Movie)|fell from the sky]] and crashed in Paw Paw, Michigan, where his head was found by a young [[Isaac Sumdac]]. Over the next fifty years, Sumdac built a robotics empire by reverse-engineering Megatron's components. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out!}}

[[Image:Animatedmegatronhead1.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Hey Megatron, don't lose your... oh.]]

Fifty years later, [[Sari Sumdac|Sari]] used her key to sneak into her father's lab. He stopped her from seeing anything it contained, but the All Spark energy from the key was absorbed by Megatron's head, reawakening his spark and bringing him back online. Confused and disoriented, he automatically brought up video footage of Starscream and the Autobots. Furious both at Starscream's betrayal and the fact he didn't have the hands to reach out and take the All Spark which was finally within his grasp, he released a burst of energy which activated a small drone Dr. Sumdac had been working on. Megatron thus realized he could control the extremely primitive (by his standards) technology around him. Learning Sari was going to spend the night at the Autobot base, he sneaked his drone into her backpack.

Once she arrived, Megatron sent the drone to look for the All Spark, but his search was fruitless. He decided to try a simpler method: kill the Autobots and extract the data from their lifeless corpses. Interfacing with the factory's assembly line, he attacked. As the Autobots fought back, he decided to cut out the middleman and knocked a hole in a fuel tank. Prowl arrived, realized the factory was working via motion sensors, and managed to get close to the control panel. To counter him, Megatron simply took over the factory arms and snatched up Prowl. However, he failed to stop Bumblebee, due to the primitive tools he was forced to use. With his plans foiled, Megatron was out of patience, refusing to work through these worthless machines. He needed a body. Perhaps it was time to reveal something more advanced to Sumdac... {{storylink|Home Is Where the Spark Is}}

Dinobot Island (G1)

2008-01-14T16:40:49Z

209.244.43.211: /* Fiction */

{{cleanup|August 2007}}
:''Dinobot Island is a [[Places|place]] in the animated portion of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Dinobot island.jpg|thumb|250px|When you lose the immunity challenge, you're not voted off. [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] just [[Paddles|leaves you there]].]]

'''Dinobot Island''' is the name given by [[Spike Witwicky]] to an island on [[Earth]] that can only be accessed by flying through a mysterious energy column floating over the ocean. It is primordial, populated by dinosaurs, and rich in volcanic energy.´

The island's position in time is unclear: It may be somehow trapped in a temporal bubble, isolated from the timestream; or the energy column may be a gateway to the entire prehistoric world, with the island being simply the nearest bit of land. Most evidence points to the former theory, but altering the island ''will'' produce strange temporal effects elsewhere in the present.

At any rate, what it sorely lacks in explanation, it makes up for in woo [[dinosaur]]s!

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon===
After scouting some strange power readings, [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] and [[Powerglide]] encounter an unknown island in the middle of the ocean. Bumblebee is attacked by a prehistoric flying dinosaur which Powerglide manages to save him from after which they examine the island briefly before leaving after another dinosaur attempts to attack them.

Returning to [[Autobot]] [[Ark (G1)|headquarters]], they inform [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] of the find while a test of the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] is made. Its decided that the Dinobots are simply too chaotic to work safely at headquarters but Bumblebee suggests the newly discovered island as a new home for the Dinobots to which Prime agrees. As Spike, Powerglide and the Dinobots head off to the island, they are shadowed by [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] who transmits his findings to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. Megatron takes his [[Decepticon]]s to the island where they begin to tap the islands energy reserves; much to [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream's]] objections noting various instabilities on the island. The Dinobots eventually learn of the Decepticon presence on their island and attack but Megatron uses the Dinosaurs to stampede and force the Dinobots off a cliff and into a tar pit. {{Storylink|Dinobot Island, Part 1}}

The draining of the islands energy reserves results in numerous time rifts forming all around the planet bringing denizens from Earths past into the present which include barbarians on mastodons, pirates and cowboys. The Autobots learn of the Decepticon presence on Dinobot island and lay siege to Megatrons forces there. The Decepticons manage to gain the upper hand and are about to win when the Dinobots return and bring their new friends, the dinosaurs, to the Autobots aid. The Decepticons are defeated by the dinosaurs and retreat. Optimus Prime and the Dinobots destroy the [[Energon]] cubes collected which release the energy back to the island thus replenishing it. {{Storylink|Dinobot Island, Part 2}}

However, the island did not remain under solely Autobot control. Twenty years later, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] sent [[Trypticon]] to Dinobot Island to recuperate after his first battle with [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], and the Autobots were completely unaware. It was there that [[Octane (G1)|Octane]] enlisted Trypticon's help in his plan to use [[Carbombya|Carbombyan]] oil to take over the Decepticons. All of this was only mentioned in passing, so no details are known about the state of the island or the extent of the Transformers' continued use of it. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}}

Transformers Animated (cartoon)

2008-01-14T16:31:15Z

209.244.43.211: /* Series details */

[[Image:TransformersAnimatedPoster.jpg||thumb|250px|"When there's trouble you know who to call..."]]
{{Nav-Animated}}
'''''Transformers Animated''''' is a cartoon series which debuted in early 2008, in support of the [[franchise]] of [[Transformers Animated|the same name]].

The cartoon is produced by [[Cartoon Network]], scripted in the United States, with character and background designs by the crews behind shows like ''[[wikipedia:Teen Titans (TV series)|Teen Titans]]'' and ''[[wikipedia:Ben 10|Ben 10]]'', while animation is being provided by Japanese studios [[Mook]], [[The Answer Studio]] (the Japanese studio who animated ''[[wikipedia:Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go!|Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go!]]''), and [[Studio 4C]] {{fact}}.

''Animated'' is notable for the fact it sees several G1 voice actors reprise their old roles ([[Susan Blu]], [[Corey Burton]], [[John Moschitta]], etc.), and for the fact this is the first Transformers show featuring [[David Kaye]] where he won't be voicing [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]].

==Series details==
[[Image:Ani_crew.JPG|left|thumb|200px|"Mr. Bulkhead, engage!"]]
The series eschews the ever-continuing space opera storylines of the past few anime to return to the episodic approach of ''[[Beast Wars (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]''; each episode will be a standalone story, but with an overall story arc that stretches through the whole season. The focus is being put firmly on characterization, dynamic action, and humor.

The episodes center not only on the war between the [[Autobot]]s and the [[Decepticon]]s, but also on the Autobots' interactions with many of [[Detroit]]'s [[human]] supervillain denizens, including a [[Angry Archer|maladjusted marksman]], a [[Meltdown (Animated)|guy who can spit acid]], and a guy who [[Prometheus Black|looks good in a pimp suit]]. The idea is to present the Decepticons as more of an ongoing background threat instead of having them be repeatedly defeated each episode and look like bumbling fools. Rather, the arrival of a Decepticon in battle is supposed to be a big deal, requiring multiple Autobots working together to stop even a single one. The human villains will give the Autobots "everyday" threats--and no doubt their schemes will turn out to be the result of Decepticon treachery. Note that [[Doctor Arkeville|human]] [[Lord Chumley|adversaries]] [[Circuit Breaker|are]] [[Cobra Commander|not]] [[Abdul Fakkadi|new]] [[Lazarus|in]] ''Transformers'' continuity. However, humans as [[Hydra and Buster|major]] [[Overlord|threats]] is very uncommon.

Season 2 is already in the works, and seasons 3 and 4 are quite possible.

While the series is not a sequel to the recent [[Transformers (2007)|live-action movie]], they have many thematic elements in common, most notably the central role of the [[All Spark (Animated)|All Spark cube]] and the revelation that all modern technology has been reverse-engineered from the dormant body of [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. Hasbro also carried over some design elements from the live-action movie into Animated designs, including not just the aforementioned cube but also [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]]'s medical readout striped deco and [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]'s helmet. These are meant to be "connection points," helping kids who had seen the theatrical film but had no prior Transformers experience ease into understanding the new series.

Transform and Roll Out

2008-01-02T19:45:30Z

209.244.43.211: /* Part 1 */

{{episodenav|animated|1, 2, and 3|season=1|prev=|next=Home Is Where the Spark Is}}

[[Image:TFA_TFandRollout_AutobotHeroes.jpg|thumb|right|350px|''Epic'']]

'''Optimus Prime and his small crew of maintenance Autobots come into possession of the All Spark. This powerful Cybertronian artifact attracts the attention of the Autobots' long-forgotten enemies, the Decepticons, and sends them all crashing toward a strange, distant planet known as...''Earth.'''''

==Detailed synopsis==
===Part 1===

In deep, deep space, Optimus Prime watches some old history videos, prompting Ratchet to complain about him watching that "junk" when the other members of the crew need assistance. Prime wonders if they were designed for more than repairing [[space bridge]]s. The two 'Bots transform into their vehicle modes and head out into the asteroid field.

[[Image:TFA_TFandRollout_TheAllsparkdiscovered.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Well....at least there's no [[mass-shifting]]]]

Outside, Bulkhead, dangling from a high rock by his wrecking ball (and becoming quite queasy in the process), is freed by Bumblebee, who also ends up taking a tumble. Bumblebee complains about the sheer amount of rocks blocking the space bridge node, and one is shattered unexpectedly by Prowl's throwing star. Prime gives his troops a speech about teamwork (which Prowl moans at theatrically), but at that point the space bridge lights up, sending rocks and Autobots flying. Fancy footwork by Optimus saves each of his teammates from the debris, and a well-aimed grappling line shuts down the bridge. With his subordinates stunned at their leader's skills, Prime is forced to admit he trained at Cybertron's military academy. Bumblebee's query as to what the hell he's doing on a nowhere maintenance assignment is left unanswered as they notice something glowing in the rubble.

Prime clears away the debris to reveal a large, chest-like object. Ratchet is horrified and immediately demands they throw it back into the space bridge, but an alert from [[Teletran 1]] announces the arrival of a signature consistent with the long-lost [[Decepticon]]s. Ratchet then insists they take the object and just get out of there post-haste.

[[Image:TFA_TFandRollout_Decepticonship.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Yes, this ''is'' a scout ship. Way to go, [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Magnanimous.]]]]

On board the ''[[Ark (Animated)|Ark]]'', Ratchet finally reveals what they've found: the [[All Spark (Animated)|All Spark]], the source of all Transformer life that was lost centuries ago. Optimus, worried about the oncoming Decepticon signal, contacts the [[Cybertron Elite Guard]] for help. After taking a bit of snark from Sentinel Prime, Optimus reveals what they found, which shuts Sentinel up fast. Sentinel then puts the crew through to Ultra Magnus, who tells Optimus Prime to stay put while they send reinforcements...and not to worry about that Decepticon thing. Optimus, considering this to be a really stupid move, orders the crew to start booking it out of there.

[[Image:Ani_crew.JPG|left|thumb|200px|Scotty, engage!]]

This proves wise, as the signal is indeed a Decepticon ship—a [[Nemesis (Animated)|command ship]], in fact. The identification markings are ones that Optimus and Ratchet recognize, meaning its commander can only be one person: Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. On board the Decepticon ship, Starscream doubts the All Spark is aboard the ''[[Ark (Animated)|Ark]]'' and declares Megatron a fool. Lugnut denounces Starscream as a traitor, while Blackarachnia calls Lugnut an idiot for his blind loyalty and Blitzwing just acts...well, crazy. The Decepticons continue to bicker at each other until Megatron enters, shutting up all of them. The Decepticons chase the Autobot ship, and Starscream volunteers to board them. Megatron quickly shoots that idea down. Just before he leaves, Starscream wishes his commander "luck" with a pat on the back...affixing a bomb to Megatron in the process.

Megatron makes his way to the ''Ark'' and begins to melt his way through its hull. Optimus uses external manipulator arms to grapple with Megatron, until the bomb detonates, sending the ship careening uncontrollably into a space bridge node, which explodes after they go through the gate. Starscream begins to make a speech declaring himself the new Decepticon leader, but the other three have abandoned ship, noting that the fireball from the space bridge explosion is only getting larger. Too late, Starscream realizes the trouble he's in...

An unknown distance away, the Autobot ship reappears above a [[Earth|small blue and green planet]]. Prime checks on his troops, but Megatron has gotten aboard, having survived the explosion, but at the cost of his right arm. Prime uses his grappling line to shut off the gravity, making it more difficult for Megatron to fight. All five Autobots face off against the Decepticon, but he's too strong. Prime and Megatron both end up in the storage bay where the All Spark is...and as the ship enters the atmosphere, Prime is able to blow the hatch and kick the screaming Megatron out of the ship.

[[Image:TFA_TFandRollout_Arkatmosphere.jpg|thumb|right|150px|[[Beast Wars, Part 1|Oddly familiar.]]]]

On a small farm, a young boy hears a thud and runs to where something has landed in a not-too-distant field. He is shocked to find a robotic head staring lifelessly up at him.

Meanwhile, Prime orders his team into emergency stasis pods to prepare for a crash-landing. He manages to steer the ship away from the city below and gets to a stasis pod just before the ship plunges into [[Lake Erie]].

Fifty years later, Detroit is a city of robots. Isaac Sumdac is talking to a public school class taking a tour of his facilities, which gets interrupted by Isaac's daughter, Sari, and her robot dog, Sparkplug. As Sari is carted off to her lessons by a robot tutor, Isaac shows the schoolkids a nanotech lab, just in time to witness a roach infused with microbots grow out of control and start consuming everything in sight. Isaac tries to keep things calm, but the monster bursts out of the lab...

===Part 2===
[[Image:TFA_TFandRollout_Firefighters_monster.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Yeah, watering it will surely stop the beast.]]

The monster continues to grow, absorbing just about everything it touches to increase its size and power. In the process, it destroys a lot of the factory. Captain Fanzone, the S.W.A.T team, the fire department, ambulances, and robot drones arrive, but the creature absorbs several of the responding vehicles, too. Fanzone uses a bazooka-type weapon and destroys the beast, despite Sumdac's objection. This protest proves well-founded, as the remnants of the creature start flowing back together again, save for one piece that drops into the nearby lake and works its way down to the ''Ark'', its nanites seeking the absorbable technology there. It infiltrates via a small breach in the outer hull, but thankfully, the ship's intruder alert systems are functional and awaken the Autobots before any damage is done. Examining the situation, they decide to have Teletran 1 give them Earth forms so they can blend in and help out. Everyone deploys except Ratchet, who remains behind to analyze the sample of invading material.

[[Image:TFA_TFandRollout_Autobots.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Avengers]], ASSEMBLE!]]

During the fight, Bulkhead and Bumblebee spot Sari trying to wrest her security key from Sparkplug's mouth. Mistaking which is owner and which is pet, they approach her, but Bulkhead's greeting only scares her away. She quickly gets nabbed by the monster, but Bumblebee saves her, earning her trust and friendship. Prowl attempts to take on the bug-slug by himself, against Prime's orders, and gets absorbed. Prime orders Ratchet to join them in battle to save Prowl, but the old veteran insists that finding a "cure" code to neutralize the nanites' programming makes more sense than coming out and getting trashed. A somewhat chastened Prime agrees, and Ratchet soon delivers the goods. However, the new program must be uploaded by direct contact{{m-}}meaning from inside the monster. This means the smallest, fastest one of them has to do it. Bumblebee reluctantly takes on the task. The beast has been using some of Prowl's absorbed intelligence and comm link tech, though, so it knows what they're planning and is now smart enough to fight back better. Despite this, Bumblebee succeeds in delivering the code, and the bug dissolves into a dusty shower of deactivated nanites. Prowl is soon uncovered, but he's suffered grave wounds and must be taken back to the ''Ark'' for repairs. Sari pesters Bumblebee to be taken along, and her new friend reluctantly agrees, since there's no time to make her go away quietly.

[[Image:TFA_TFandRollout_Sari_followedmehome.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Bumblebee, having a pet is big responsibility.]]

Once on board, Sari's refusal to stay still and quiet causes 'Bee some embarrassment. He quickly and discreetly ejects her into a ventilation port and joins the others. However, the port opens onto a shaft that takes Sari right to the chamber where the All Spark is being kept. Curious, she touches it, and it reacts to her, sending its energies into her security card key and reconfiguring it into a key of another sort entirely. Prime finds her almost immediately thereafter, but with no time left to spare away from Prowl, he has to bring her back with him to the repair table. Ratchet's prognosis is bleak, but Sari's All Spark-charged key abruptly reacts, glowing and tugging her toward Prowl. Bumblebee, seeming to grasp what's happening, helps her onto the table, and as she approaches, her key reshapes itself to fit into a slot on Prowl's chest. She inserts it, and with a burst of energy, the Autobot ninja is whole again. The Autobots then take Sari home and, after a brief misunderstanding, are made heroes and are even invited to a ceremony.

In outer space, Starscream sits aboard the damaged but functional Decepticon ship, babbling that he will find the All Spark, even though he's been attempting it on his own for the last fifty solar cycles. The ship's computers then detect the traces of All Spark-like energy in action, and Starscream learns where the Autobots are...

===Part 3===
[[Image:Sariprime.jpg|right|thumb|150px|INSERT WHAT WHERE?!]]

The Autobots are later seen trying to fit in. Bulkhead gets firsthand experience in traffic jams, some birds mistake Prowl for the statue of the bald guy next to him, Bumblebee learns how organics fuel up, and Ratchet can't get a stasis nap without getting a parking ticket. Optimus Prime remarks that the Autobots are programmed to respect life, which they always understood to stem from the All Spark, but as organics are life, they must respect and protect them too. Optimus also expresses curiosity about how little organics are made. Sari's whispered explanation leaves him rather...shocked. The Autobots make a new home base out of a building Sari's dad got out of a merger, an abandoned auto factory that Bumblebee describes as a real fixer-upper{{m-}}a REAL fixer-upper. All of a sudden, they get alerted to a fire. The Autobots proceed to douse the blaze and save its victims, no problem, unaware they are being watched by Starscream.

The next day, during the inauguration ceremony for the Sumdac Fully Automated Rapid Transit System (F.A.R.T.S., for short), Starscream enters Earth's atmosphere and takes on a group of fighter jets. He destroys all but one, which he scans. As the civilians and Autobots watch the aerial display of the Crimson Angels, Issac Sumdac notices there is one more jet present than he payed for. That one jet then leaves the formation and streaks toward the ceremony platform, where it transforms into Starscream, who fires his null-ray cannons at the Autobots.

After a short fight, which the Autobots lose, Starscream knocks out Bumblebee and takes him, Issac, the mayor, and Capt. Fanzone hostage in the F.A.R.T.S. train, flying it to the top of a very tall tower. He then demands the Autobots deliver the All Spark if they want him to release the train car. The Autobots don't trust him, but don't want to risk human lives. Sari offers a plan, but they ignore her. She continues to tell a sob story until the Autobots listen. The Autobots proceed with her plan, and Prowl and Sari fly up to the transit pod to rescue the hostages while the other Autobots keep Starscream busy. Once Starscream realizes what's happening, he takes a brief beating but recovers quickly. Starscream then throws the train{{m-}}thus keeping his end of the deal{{m-}}with Sari, Prowl, and Bumblebee on top of/in it. Between Bumblebee's agility and Prowl's thrusters, Sari is rescued and the train lands without much damage. The Autobots then challenge Starscream to a friendly game of Keep Away, during which Starscream almost gets the All Spark, but Bulkhead gets it instead, because he said he got it. A furious Starscream unleashes a devastating, prolonged (as in nearly 12 seconds) null-ray blast on the Autobots, briefly knocking them all senseless.

[[Image:TFA_TFandRollout_Prime_SS_Allsparkactivates.jpg|thumb|left|150px|In the old days, [[Stan Bush|The Touch]] would have started playing now.]]

With the Autobots down, Starscream takes the All Spark from Optimus and blows a couple of blocks of Detroit right off the map. Not ready to give up, Optimus climbs all the way up a building to get it back from Starscream. After a quick back-and-forth exchange of possessing it, both grab it at the same time. As they struggle, the All Spark opens and emits a strange energy wave that blasts Starscream away.

The explosion has left Prime dangling precariously, and he takes a tremendous plummet to the pavement. He notes weakly that he now knows what it feels like to be a hero, then dies, but Sari uses her All Spark key to revive him.<ref>This is something of an Optimus Prime record: Dead after only three episodes, revived a mere 75 seconds later. Way to go.</ref> The Autobots later go about fixing up Detroit, earning the enduring gratitude of the citizenry. Professor Sumdac is also grateful, for the Autobots saved him and Sari, but he fears what will happen if the Autobots—not to mention the rest of the world—were to discover the source of his robotic empire.

Unseen by Sumdac, one of the [[Sensors#Optics|optics]] of his source of technology glows in a darkened room. Megatron still functions...

'''Blackarachnia''': ...and wipe our homeland clean of the stench of Autobot tyranny, blah-dee blah blah blah! Did you memorize that speech, Lugnut? Or is it just hardwired into that thick, one-track processor of yours?<br>
'''Blitzwing''': As usual, Blackarachnia, your demeanor is as unpleasant as that accursed organic mode of yours.<br>
'''Blackarachnia''': Blow it out your actuator, three-face.<br>
'''Blitzwing''':''[changes to angry face]'' De name is Blitzving, insect! Remember it! 'Cause it's de last t'ing you're gonna hear before I— ''[changes to weird face]'' —express my feelings in song! De itzy bitzy spider...<br>
:—Decepticon camaraderie at its finest

"What do you want now, Starscream?"<br>
''[Starscream attaches an explosive onto Megatron's back.]''<br>
"Only to wish you luck, my liege."<br>
"I do not believe...in ''luck''".<br>
''[Megatron transforms and leaves.]''<br>
"Neither...do I..."<br>
:—'''Megatron''' is arrogant, '''Starscream''' is treacherous.

"'''Yes!''' ...right then. Solemn face, solemn face."
:—'''Starscream''' watches Megatron explode, then composes himself before going to tell the Decepticons he's their new leader.

'''Bulkhead''': Hi there, little creature. My name's Bulkhead. Did you lose your owner-bot?<br>
'''Sari''':...AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!<br>

'''Bumblebee''': Actually, I'm narrowing it down to my top five.<br>
:—'''Optimus''' discovers '''Bumblebee'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s new friend.

"It's okay, they're friendly! Well, except for [[Ratchet (Animated)|the red and white one]], he's kinda grumpy! But other than that..."
:—'''Sari''' plays ambassador.

==Other notes==
===Animation and/or technical glitches===
* As Starscream tackles Optimus Prime through a building as the Autobot tries to escape with the All Spark, Optimus' axe is missing from Starscream's left wing. It reappears moments later for Optimus to retrieve it.

===Continuity errors===
* The train Starscream blasts from the tower falls toward the ground very, very slowly.

*In at least one scene, Starscream's Earth-form wing is shown with a spike, in the same manner as his Cybertronian body.

===Transformers references===
*Footage from the [[Generation 1 (cartoon)|G1 cartoon]] episodes "[[War Dawn]]" and "[[More Than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" is used as history tapes detailing the events of the first Great War, millions of years prior. [[Canon|This]] presents a major [[continuity]] tangle, since the actual events of ancient G1 are quite different from the new All Spark-based [[retcon]] provided by the ''Animated'' storyline. While it is reasonable to expect that the images depicted in the historical reel did indeed "happen" in ''Animated''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s past, one ought not assume that all the implications behind G1 prehistory images (i.e. [[Quintesson]]s, [[Alpha Trion]], the [[Kronosphere]]) are still in effect for ''Animated''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s past or present. Savvy?

*Sari's robotic dog [[Sparkplug (Animated)|Sparkplug]] is likely named after either [[Sparkplug Witwicky]] from G1, the Armada Mini-Con [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]], or both.
[[Image:Spikecarlydanielanimated.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Twenty years later, and they're still overdressed.]]
*Characters resembling [[Spike Witwicky|Spike]], [[Carly]], and [[Daniel Witwicky]] are seen at a hot dog stand, purchasing some sort of futuristic bunless wieners-on-a-stick.

*The ''Animated'' Autobots are [[Infiltration|not the first]] to use a starship parked at the bottom of one of the Great Lakes as their headquarters.

*When Optimus Prime dies, his body fades to grays, just as [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 Optimus Prime]] did in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. His spark chamber opens in much the same manner as well.

*Teletran 1 (spelled with only one "a" in this universe) dispatches a small satellite very similar to the [[Sky Spy]] satellite used on occasion by the Autobots in the ''Generation 1'' cartoon. The glowing energy "boxes" with which it scans vehicles for the Autobots to transform into are lifted wholesale out of "[[More Than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]".

===Miscellaneous trivia===
*A refurbished Michigan Central Station makes an appearance as the site for the dedication of Detroit's rapid transit system. The real-life station (abandoned for decades) was featured in the [[Transformers (2007)|2007 live-action movie]].
