''[Note: According to UK continuity, Action Force later merged with the American G.I. Joe organization and took on their name. This was to account for the local switchover of the 'Action Force' merchandise to "G.I. Joe" branding. This likely encompasses the team's appearance in the later-still Marvel US ''Generation 2'' (also reprinted and made available in the UK) comics as G.I. Joe.]''

===Transformers/G.I. Joe===
In 1938, Europe was overrun by the combined forces of the [[Decepticons]] and [[Cobra]]. G.I. Joe was formed to combat them, and were led to their [[Terrordrome]] in the [[Fera Islands]] by a map carved out of the [[USS Hama]]'s hull by treacherous Cobra operatives. While engaging Cobra troops commanded by [[Storm Shadow]], the Joes encountered the [[Autobots]], who soon repaired and revived themselves. The Joes soon found themselves under fire from a squadron of [[Rattler|Rattlers]] and [[Seeker|Seekers]] led by [[Wild Weasel]], but they were driven back by Lady Jaye and the [[Aerialbots]].

While the Cobra aircraft were driven off, they left behind paratroopers and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]]. The Joes managed to defeat the troops, and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] and Scarlett destroyed Rumble, but [[Zartan]] managed to murder and replace Breaker in the confusion. He was quickly discovered, but not before he allowed [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] to capture Flint.

Storm Shadow left the main Cobra force to engage in a deadly duel with his sword-brother Snake-Eyes, now a member of G.I. Joe. Despite the intervention of [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]], Snake-Eyes defeated Storm Shadow, who was then eaten by a shark.

Soon, Cobra prepared to defend the town of [[Torhavn]] against the approoaching Autobots and Joes, using slaves as human shields. Another Cobra air attack was foiled by Lady Jaye and [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]; soon afterwards, Lady Jaye defeated [[Major Bludd]] and the [[Dreadnoks]]. Meanwhile, a small Joe strikeforce infiltrated the Terrordrome, destroying [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] in the process.

As the Joes, Autobots, and an Allied fleet neared, [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] destroyed Superion and a number of ships, damaging himself severely in the process. But despite heavy losses, the Autobots soldiered on.

[[Destro]] and the [[Baroness]] took advantage of the chaos to unleash their monstrous creation [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] upon both sides - but not before slaying their co-conspirator, Starscream. Bruticus' attack crippled Cobra Commander, allowing the Baroness to execute him with Megatron's pistol form. Her victory was short-lived - before the Commander's body could cool, she and Destro were arrested by Scarlett and Snake-Eyes. As the metal monster tore through the Autobots, Snake-Eyes took the Matrix from the Commander's corpse and destroyed it, killing the Autobots, Decepticons, and Bruticus and ending the threat of Cobra.

Members involved in this mission included [[Beachhead]], [[Breaker]], [[Duke]], [[Flint]], [[Grunt]], [[Lady Jaye]], [[Leatherneck]], [[Lifeline]], [[Roadblock (G.I. Joe)|Roadblock]], [[Scarlett]], [[Snake-Eyes]], and [[Stalker (G.I. Joe)|Stalker]].

===Transformers/G.I. Joe: Divided Front===
Some 45 years after the conquest of Europe, Cobra rose again, and G.I. Joe returned to combat it. Headquartered in the [[Pit]], G.I. Joe was led by Duke, a veteran of the last Cobra war. In 1985, a G.I. Joe team led by Flint attacked a Cobra shipping facility. While the facility was largely destroyed, [[Destro]] and [[Scrap-Iron (Cobra)|Scrap-Iron]] managed to escape via [[Trouble Bubble]], an act that led to Flint being reprimanded. Soon afterwards, the Joes detected the crash of an [[Autobot]] shuttlecraft near [[Portland]]. Flint was sent to retrieve it with a team of rookies, and managed to repel a Cobra strike team and recover an unconscious [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]]. Hours later, the team was briefed by Duke, Stalker, and Scarlett on the threat posed by the [[Transformers]].

Members involved in this mission included [[Airtight]], [[Alpine]], [[Barbecue]], [[Bazooka (G.I. Joe)|Bazooka]], [[Blowtorch]], [[Clutch (G.I. Joe)|Clutch]], [[Cover Girl]], [[Doc]], [[Duke]], [[Flint]], [[Grand Slam (G.I. Joe)|Grand Slam]], [[Gung-Ho (G.I. Joe)|Gung-Ho]], [[Mutt & Junkyard]], [[Quick Kick]], [[Rock'N'Roll]], [[Scarlett]], [[Shipwreck]], [[Snake-Eyes]], [[Spirit]], [[Stalker (G.I. Joe)|Stalker]], and [[Wild Bill]].

''[Note: As [[Dreamwave]] went bankrupt after only one issue of this series was published, it is unknown whether Snake-Eyes is in any way related to his 1930s counterpart.]''

Joe)|Roadblock]], [[Rock'N'Roll]], [[Scarlett]], [[Sci-Fi]], [[Shipwreck]], [[Snake-Eyes]], [[Spike Witwicky]], [[Spirit]], [[Stalker (G.I. Joe)|Stalker]], and [[Wild Bill]].

===G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II===
Two years later, an attempt by Cobra to seize control of [[Teletran 3]] resulted in several Transformers being sent to various eras in Earth's history, threatening to catastrophically alter the timestream. Cobra and G.I.Joe were forced to work together to neutralize the threat.

Members involved in this mission included [[Barbecue]], [[Bazooka (G.I. Joe)|Bazooka]], [[Beachhead]], [[Chuckles]], [[Cover Girl]], [[Dial-Tone]], [[Dusty]], [[Duke]], [[Gung-Ho (G.I. Joe)|Gung-Ho]], [[Jinx]], [[Lady Jaye]], [[Roadblock (G.I. Joe)|Roadblock]], [[Stalker (G.I. Joe)|Stalker]], [[Scarlett]], [[Shipwreck]], [[Snake-Eyes]], and [[Spirit]].

Demolishor (Armada)

2007-08-12T03:17:27Z

24.139.220.192: /* Trivia */

:''Demolishor is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Demolishor-AR-DVD.jpg|300px|thumb|right|They were delicious.]]

'''Demolishor''' is a military expert that serves [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] through the [[Unicron Battles]]. He is a very trusted, but sometimes very ''dim'' soldier that holds very true-to-[[spark]] values concerning loyalty and devotion to the Decepticon cause. These values sometimes collide with Megatron's ultimately-selfish goals, and Demolishor finds himself struggling to reconcile the two.

Ultimately though, Demolishor never abandons his devotion to the Decepticons as a whole, even if his faith in its leader is shattered.

His [[Mini-Con]] partner is [[Blackout (Armada)|Blackout]].

:''Japanese ''Armada'' name'': '''Ironhide'''<br>
:''Japanese ''Energon'' name'': '''Irontread''' (dumptruck body)

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
====''Armada''====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Alvin Sanders]] (English), [[Koji Yusa]] (Japanese)

Demolishor served as Megatron's right-hand military expert until the arrival of [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]], although he often competed with [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] for the title. He was often dense and simple-minded, but very devoted to his cause. Perhaps the most thoughtful action of Demolishor in this time was to tear through a door Megatron had sealed in order to stop Megatron from destroying [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], who Demolishor valued as a Decepticon ally. Demolishor was seriously damaged by [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]], only to be reformatted into a red/white color scheme (as a homage to his Japanese namesake, [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]). He would go on to serve in the United Armada against [[Unicron]].

====''Energon''====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Alvin Sanders]] (English), [[Koji Yusa]] (Japanese)
[[Image:Demolishor_MegSword.jpg|left|thumb|And so Demolishor became the king of Britain.]]

Following the end of the [[Unicron Battles]], Megatron's death saw the alliance between the Decepticons and Autobots persist. With the establishment of [[Cybertron City|Cybertron Cities]] to mine [[energon]] on Earth, Demolishor was assigned to [[Ocean City]], where he guarded the city's main gate. Despite his frequent complaints and arguments with the humans and Autobots that lived in the city, Demolishor developed something of a friendship with his new allies and grew into his role. Of particular note was his bickering relationship with the inexperienced [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]], who didn't trust him for being a Decepticon, and whom he ridiculed for being a greenhorn in return.

In the year 2020, when the alien being [[Alpha Quintesson]] created the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]] to steal energon for him, he armed their leader [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] with a sword forged from Megatron's [[spark]]. During a battle at [[Plains City]], the sword was knocked aside and landed in the ground in front of Demolishor, but he could not bring himself to take hold of the weapon - the chance to return to his Decepticon nature and his new role amongst the Autobots left him conflicted, unsure of what he truly wanted in life.

Demolishor's dilemma continued when Megatron returned to life and laid seige to Ocean City. When Megatron appeared before him, Demolishor trained his guns on him, struggling to make a decision as Megatron continually taunted him. Eventually, Demolishor caved, and rejoined the Decepticons, departing with Megatron for his headquarters within the inactive corpse of [[Unicron]]. Despite having made this decision, however, Demolishor's experiences had left him a changed 'bot, and he would be heard to caution Megatron on the frailties of humans.

Not longer thereafter, Demolishor participated in a Decepticon attack on the Autobot ship the [[Miranda II]], which activated its personal [[energon grid]] defence system during the battle. Megatron was caught directly in the path of the grid, galvanizing Demolishor into making a final, fateful decision - he pushed his leader out of the way, and took the force of the grid's blast himself.

Demolishor's body was destroyed, but his spark was salvaged by Megatron, who implanted it within a new body. Megatron used his Unicron-derived powers to wipe Demolishor's memory, removing any trace of his conflicted nature and degenerating him into a simple-minded ape-like creature, easily excited and prone to grunting and jumping around. Demolishor retained his friendship with [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]] - now Snowcat - whose level of intelligence he was now much closer to. There was occasional cuddling. In the end Demolishor, along with Snowcat, did not follow Megatron into sun.

====''Cybertron''====
=====Toy bio=====
Somehow magically back in his original body (no word on whether his mentality recovered as well), Demolishor was left behind on Cybertron during the planetary evacuation, but has kept himself busy by fighting off the [[Scrapmetal drone|Scrapmetal]] Terrorcon horde. Demolishor has heard rumors that Megatron has once again returned from the dead, but hopes it is not true, as he enjoys not being pushed around by his commander for once.

==Toys==
===Armada===
[[Image:Armada_Demolishor_toy.jpg|right|thumb|160px|Best Decepticon yes-man toy, ever!]]
* '''Demolishor w/ Blackout''' (Deluxe, 2002/2003)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-03'''

: Demolishor transforms into an anti-aircraft missile tank of made-up model. In vehicle mode, he has extra [[Mini-Con]] compatability; a seat behind his turret so he can be piloted, plus the space between his treads features a clip/launcher mechanism for his partner [[Blackout_(Armada)|Blackout]] in vechicle mode. Attaching a Mini-Con to his left shoulder's [[Powerlinx]] plug in either mode pushes his twin-missile launcher mechanism forward, and allows his spring-loaded missiles to be fired.

: The Japanese release of Demolishor uses a different shade of tan, plus paints his face brown rather than black, among other smaller [[paint application]] changes.

* '''Ironhide w/ Search and Land Military Microns''' (Multi-pack, 2003)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MS-03'''

: In Japan, Demolishor was available both separately, and in a multi-pack with the [[Land Military Mini-Con Team]].

*'''Demolishor''' (Happy Meal toy, 2003)

: An extremely simplified version of the original Demolishor toy, he features a "battle damage" pop-off arm. He can combine with the other Happy Meal Decepticons to form a super vehicle. Kinda.

*'''Demolishor''' (Built to Rule, 2003)

: One of the smaller ''[[Built to Rule]]'' sets, Demolishor's vehicle mode is still and anti-aircraft missile tank, but with only one firing rocket per side. He also features full-rubber working treads. He comes with a block-version of Blackout.

*'''Powerlinx Demolishor w/ Powerlinx Blackout''' (Deluxe, 2003)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-10'''

: A late-series [[redeco]] of the original Demolishor in red and off-white. Part of the final wave of Stateside ''Armada'' product, Demolishor's coloration was finalized after cardback photogrpahy was needed, so the card depicts a normal-colored Demolishor.

[[Image:DemolishorNA-ABTR.jpg|thumb|125px|left|WUBBA WUBBA WUBBA.]]

*'''Night Attack Demolishor''' (Built to Rule, 2003)

: Part of the final wave of ''Armada Built to Rule'', the first Demolishor set was redecoed into colors very close to that of the [[Night Attack Mini-Con Team]]. Again, he comes with a smiliarly-colored version of Blackout.

: Night Attack Demolishor did not ship very prominently, but eventually could be found at Toys "R" Us stores for the heavly-discounted price of $2 or so.
{{-}}
===Energon===
*'''Demolishor w/ Blackout''' (Deluxe, 2004)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''SD-02'''

: Originally released as part of the regular [[Takara]] ''Super Link'' series, the original Demolishor toy was given a new color scheme of lime green and purple. This version was later released in the US late in the ''Energon'' line as a Kay-Bee stores [[exclusive]] alongside the ''Super Link'' redeco of [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]].

[[Image:Energon_Demolishor_toy.jpg|right|thumb|165px|[[Trukk not munky|MUNKY IS TRUKK]] ]]
*'''Demolishor''' (Deluxe, 2004)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''SD-11'''

: Demolishor's new body transforms into a large "earth-mover" dump truck. His truck bed contains four spring-loaded missiles, plus four "false" non-firing missiles. His center torso-block can rotate forward to bring his launcher over his body for "Hyper Mode".
[[Image:Mcdemolishor.jpg|left|thumb|75px|Good luck finding me.]]
*'''Demolishor''' (Happy Meal, 2004)

: Available only in Latin America, one ''Energon'' McDonald's Happy Meal promo featured a simplified version of dump-truck Demolishor with a spring-loaded transformation.

===Cybertron===
*'''Demolishor''' (Deluxe-Class, 2006)

: A late addition to the line, the original tank mold was redecoed in a more military camo scheme. He does not come with his Mini-Con partner Blackout in this release; instead, he has a new-mold [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]-style [[Cyber Planet Key]], without a molded [[faction symbols|faction sigil]], plus a Mini-Con-style Powerlinx socket on the back so it could be used to activate his missile launcher. The key has a painted Decepticon sigil, a purple border, and the [[Cyber Key Codes|Key Code]] "'''dt67'''" printed on the back.

==Trivia==
* Reportedly, both of the original Demolishor toy's shoulders were to contain spring-loaded missile launchers, but one was removed for cost considerations.

* Powerlinx Demolishor was originally intended to be [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]]-inspired, according to [[Aaron Archer]], because Demolishor's gun-hands remind him of Sixshot (no, we don't know either). However, the red color scheme got decided on by [[We've]] and implemented first.

[[Image:ARgame-DemoFight.jpg|thumb|ARHH!!]]
* Demolishor was originally planned to be in the [[Transformers (Melbourne House)|''Armada'' Playstation 2 game]], as a long-running boss fight in the Antarctic. According to the original storyboards (unlocked in the game by finding the appropriate [[Data-Con]] on the [[Pacific Island]] base), he was the pilot of the crashed starship (instead of [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]]), and the player would have first fought him inside the control room of the ship. [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] was to then fire on the ship when Demolishor was near-defeat, which would cause the ship to crash into the chasm below. The player would then have to chase Demolishor vertically through the downed ship and into an ice cavern, where he would try and drop stalactites on your head during your final confrontation. Why Demolishor was removed from the game is unknown, though the most likely explanation is time and budget concerns.

* ''Cybertron'' Demolishor's Key Code as printed on the key doesn't work properly, giving the information for the Deluxe-Class [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]. However, the Code "'''D56B'''" gives Demolishor's information.

* There is a rumor that [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] was the Demolishor of the movie, especially since[[Blackout (Armada)|Blackout]] is Demolishor’s [[Mini-Con]] partner.
