24.151.189.19: What, no SoaP reference?

Derik, next time you make a Star Wars Transformers character entry, don't make a stub that doesn't match the format of the Darth Vader entry that inspired you. --[[User:Rotty|Rotty]] 03:00, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

:...Derik was inspired by Darth Vader?
:So much becomes clear. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 03:12, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

What the fuck is up with the Pretender Shell bit? what's the relevance, and how is it ANY different from the other three uses of the damn mold? --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 07:50, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
:What's the relevance of claiming to not know where Spider-Man's powers come from? While the other uses of the mold have robotic heads, Mace Windu's looks human. I was struck by the similarity to the transforming Autobot Pretender shells, which also transform from powered armor with human heads to vehicles and are operated by a smaller guy inside. The possibility of Mace blending in on a planet of giants amused me, and postulating their existence isn't blatantly counterfactual. But whatever. --[[User:Rotty|Rotty]] 08:22, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm think the link to Operation Blue Star is in bad taste, and adds nothing to the quality of the wiki. [[User:JW|JW]] 13:13, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

24.151.189.19:

I don't really see the resemblance to the XF5U (removed the reference - if you put it back, can you point out what's so similar?). I could've sworn I saw a German prototype or design study that looked like Highbrow's vehicle mode, but can't find anything on Luft 46 that matches. There might be some influence from the [http://www.luft46.com/bv/bvp170.html Blohm & Voss P.170], what with the cockpit being set so far behind the wing and Highbrow's nose having an intake and propeller cone (but no prop). I think the connection's probably too tenuous to add, but maybe someone else can take a look and see.

With age comes experience, and in '''Highbrow'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s case, that's a lot of combat experience. He has ended up fighting many seemingly unwinnable battles in his lifetime, but nobody has managed to take him out just yet. Highbrow may be old, but he's far from frail.

:Highbrow transforms into a World War II-era fighter resembling a [[wikipedia:Lockheed P-38 Lightning|P-38 Lightning]]. In robot mode he features a flip-down battle mask and is armed with two removable non-firing gatling guns on [[5mm posts|5mm pegs]] and propellers on his forearms, which are geared to spin if you press down the engines. Strangely, he doesn't feature a faction symbol in either mode.

*Highbrow's battle mask resembles the goggles and headgear of a WWII American fighter pilot. The lens of the goggles are made of a clear plastic, allowing one to see Highbrow's eyes when the mask is down.

In drill mode, Throttler's head acts as a hardpoint, allowing him to be held in a bulk's hand (or under Sledge's forearm). The drill section can also rotate separately from the connector/front torso section, although the joint is too tight to allow it to spin freely.

'''Ravage''' specializes in infiltration. A frequent partner of [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], he does the dirty work of the larger Decepticon. Ravage's body and armament are all dedicated to hitting the enemy before they even know what hit them. He can be orbitally inserted at fifteen times the speed of sound, spy inside highly secure locations using swarms of [[Microcon (ROTF)|microcons]], and generally ruin your day. He respects the danger [[human]]s present though, as they were the ones who managed to kill [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]].

Some doubt Ravage's sentience, and there is debate on the degree to which he is a distinct entity, rather than an extension of Soundwave's will.<ref>[[Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe]]</ref> However, he's displayed guile, cunning, and split-second tactical thinking, making it hard for others to believe he does not have some innate intelligence. <ref>[[Transformers Comic issue 2.4|Titan Ravage Profile]]</ref> In reality, Ravage just considers the other Decepticons ''beneath'' him, and allows his eerie, silent ways and manner to alienate him from his comrades. Soundwave is the one exception: the two are kindred spirits, understanding each other's true nature and motives. <ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro Battle Bios]</ref>

Ravage was dispatched to NEST's [[United Kingdom|Scotland]] base to find, interrogate, and kill [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] before they could pass on information about the Decepticon plans. Easily breaking into one of the most secure bases on Earth, he went on to swiftly knock out [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]] and attempt to rip into the twins. While they were able to evade him, Ravage shrugged off any attack and finally cornered Mudflap, broadcasting Soundwave's demands to him.

This, however, was a trap the twins had set up, and Ravage found himself trapped in a simulated combat exercise. To escape, he faked unconsciousness and then snuck out the back when nobody was looking. But he made sure to bug the base before he left... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}}

From his vantage point high in orbit above Earth, Ravage's master [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] located the last remaining shard of the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]] in a [[NEST]] holding facility on [[Diego Garcia]], and dispatched Ravage to retrieve it. Launched from Soundwave's chest, Ravage plummeted through Earth's atmosphere in re-entry mode and impacted just off Diego Garcia's shore, bounding to land in the blink of an eye. Quickly and stealthily, the feline Decepticon knocked several of the base's security sensors offline to cover his approach, then proceeded to vomit a large quantity of [[Microcon (ROTF)|small, metallic spheres]] down a ventilation shaft. Once inside the base, the spheres transformed and combined into "[[Reedman]]", who successfully stole the shard and returned to the surface to reunite with Ravage. As the human soldiers attempted stop Reedman, Ravage provided cover fire, killing several humans in the process. The pair then made their escape.

[[Image:ROTF-Ravagefires.jpg|left|250px|thumb|He arms himself in case a Monday comes along.]]

Having secured the shard, Ravage traveled to the ''[[Bayos]]'', a human freighter carrying the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] which was passing the area of the sea in which [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] was buried. After diving over the side of the barge and reaching the bottom where Megatron's body rested, Ravage ejected [[Scalpel|the Doctor]] from a compartment in his chest. While the Constructicons began to tear apart the "[[Ze little one|little one]]", Ravage was going for a swim, apparently enjoying the water, but quickly ended his little frolic when the Doctor demanded the shard. After the Doctor resurrected Megatron using the AllSpark shard, Ravage and the Constructicons swam up to the surface following their revived leader.

[[Image:ROTF Ravage death.JPG|thumb|right|250px|That's one way to skin a...never mind.]]
Some time later, Ravage joined the other Decepticons in searching for [[Sam Witwicky]] and the [[Matrix of Leadership]] amid some [[Egypt]]ian ruins. The forces of NEST soon arrived, and [[Operation: Firestorm|battle]] broke out, complicating their search. Spotting Sam, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] instructed [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] to release [[Ron Witwicky|Ron]] and [[Judy Witwicky]]. Ravage jumped out of the Constructicon when he ejected the fleshlings, and went stalking. [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] managed to get the jump on Rampage, and Ravage in turn jumped on Bumblebee's head, clawing off part of his battle helmet. Unfortunately for Ravage, Bumblebee still had plenty of fight left in him, and he promptly dispatched the killer kitty by ''tearing out'' Ravage's own goo-covered spine. ''Ouch''. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Months after Ravage's death at the hands of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], his reconstructed form was brought back on-line in an undisclosed location by a mysterious new master. Subsequently, Ravage appeared outside [[Guantanamo Bay]], searching for a "new target". Ravage snuck in, found the remains of the [[appliancebot]]s and appropriated them. Ravage lept into the ocean to escape the military, who had located him.

Ravage emerged on a beach near [[MacDill Air Force Base]]. Though he curled up on the ground to wait for further instructions from his unknown benefactor, he was once again discovered. Ravage destroyed several helicopters before being surrounded by soldiers and jeeps. To bolster his defensive, he unleashed [[Reedman]], and although the smaller robot was eventually taken down, it provided the distraction needed to allow Ravage to escape into an [[Kingdom Petrochemicals|petrochemical plant]].

Deciding the relatively subtle approach wasn't working, officials at the White House asked the [[President of the United States]] for permission to level the plant. As the explosion engulfed the plant, Ravage tried to conceal himself beneath its foundation. Ravage's attempt to survive was mostly successful; his damaged form was still online, waiting in a pit beneath the rubble for new instructions. The remnants of the smuggled appliancebots reached out to him with streams of energy... {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 5}}

==Notes==

* Ravage and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] were part of an early draft for [[Transformers (2007)|''Transformers'']]. However, when Soundwave was changed to [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and the initial jungle setting was replaced with a desert, Ravage was changed to [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]].
* As with poor [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], sources differed on how sentient Ravage was. Luckily for Ravage, Hasbro's website outright states him to be a sentient being.
*Whether through misinformation or to hide his identity, the Ravage deluxe figure shows up in the Wal-Mart computers as "TRA DLX WOLF". Of course, they're [[Andy Reid|not the first to make this mistake]]. However when it scans at a register, it commonly comes up as "TRA MOV PANTHER".
*In the ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' novelization, Ravage has a flying [[alternate mode]]. He flew out to the freighter where the four Constructicons were waiting and transformed on deck. While descending into the ocean, he was described as a sphere, so he might have two alternate modes. (His Burger King toy perhaps?)
* Despite having a red/orange eye in the movie, all the Ravage toys and merchandise have a purple one... until his Legends figure.
* On his blog, Furman said that Ravage's spine-torn death was a late addition to the film... so late that [[IDW Publishing]] had already made Ravage a key part of their post-ROTF comics! Quick, to the Rewritemobile! [http://simonfurman.wordpress.com/2009/07/25/next-up-%e2%80%94-transformers-nefarious/]
* Originally, Ravage was intended to also have an aquatic alternate mode, where he swam to Diego Garcia as a spike covered fish.<ref>[[Revenge of the Fallen DVD field guide#Two-disc Special Edition - (approximately $22.00)|Deconstructing Visual Bayhem]] on the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' special two-disc release.</ref> The reason for dropping this was not stated.

24.151.189.19: /* I don't get this */

==Blank captions==
It seems there is a subgroup of anons and others whose primary or only contribution is adding captions to images that don't have any. This might seem harmless enough, but it bugs me nonetheless. If humorous captions are a reward of sorts for hard-working editors, then anons who add nothing else shouldn't be taking away the fodder for that reward.

To that end, I'd propose to all image-adding editors that if you have nothing "funny" to say, then say something informative. An informative caption doesn't have to be "this picture is a picture that is of Megatron"; it can state that this is "The box art painting of Megatron from his original 1984 Generation 1 toy". Maybe it's a little vengeful of me, but I'd rather see that as a placeholder till a regular contributor adds something genuinely worthwhile, instead of whatever some random anon thinks up in five seconds because they're convinced that this gaping void must be filled. -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 18:55, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

:I'm down with that. --[[User:M_Sipher|M_Sipher]] 20:03, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

==Captions without images==
In line with captions being a "reward" of sorts, I think whoever went to the trouble to upload an image get first crack at the caption. There are a couple of [[Transformers Animated (Titan)|captions]] despite not having [[Animated Comic issue 1|images]] yet, which in my opinion is just not cricket. Thoughts? -- [[User:Magnus Maximus|Magnus Maximus]] 02:35, 4 November 2008 (EST)

::I think that goes without saying, whomever uploads the image gets first go to caption it (unless their caption is deemed to be stupid or offensive or some other reason). --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 15:33, 14 March 2009 (EDT)

==I don't get this==
This "rule" seems pretty pointless to me. It's fun to add amusing captions - so what if you haven't anything "serious" already? Can anyone explain this rule better than on this project page? To be honest, it seems petty - but I'm willing to be proved wrong. --[[User:Grimlockius Prime|Grimlockius Prime]] 05:20, 14 March 2009 (EDT)

:It is petty - if you're not part of the Very Special Group, you're not funny.[[Special:Contributions/24.151.189.19|24.151.189.19]] 21:29, 17 December 2009 (EST)

:Because the main point of this wiki isn't to crack jokes, the main point of this wiki is to provide information about Transformers. People who are contributing useful information use the image captions and similar methods as a ''perk/bonus'' to make their work fun to edit and read, not as an end in and of itself.
:So if you change a caption, you're ruining someone else's "reward" for adding information, and if you're doing nothing but adding jokes, than you're not contributing anything worthwhile that furthers the wiki's actual purpose. Humor is secondary. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 05:57, 14 March 2009 (EDT)
::Thanks for the reply. I appreciate that someone changing another's caption is infringing on a "perk", but I don't think this is a perk. The perk is getting your text on the wiki and providing quality information. And secondly, if you can provide a funnier joke (and so far I can't), then why not? Everyone benefits. --[[User:Grimlockius Prime|Grimlockius Prime]] 14:22, 14 March 2009 (EDT)
:::Since theoretically anybody can get their writing on the wiki (and assuming it's quality, it stays there), that's not really a perk. I see it as work. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 15:32, 14 March 2009 (EDT)

[[Image:G1Strafe MTMTE.jpg|right|300px|thumb|What happens when you cross-breed Starscream and Shockwave. Logical and psychopathic.]]
'''Strafe''' is a really nice guy, one of the kindest, gentlest mechanoids you could ever hope to meet, and he's a crack shot with his heat-ray rifle, too. It's said that Strafe can burn a hole in a screw head (size not specified) from two miles away. Too bad he can't tighten up the loose screws in his own cranial module, though. He's got a case of nerves that could very well cause [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] to fear for his job security, and when startled he tends to SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT FIRE FIRE BANG BANG BANG KILL KILL KILL IT DEAD DEAD DEAD without stopping to aim or analyze the threat, and doesn't quit until he's shot down or runs out of heat-ray charges. Sometimes, though, all is quiet... too quiet... and he doesn't like that, either. SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT FIRE FIRE BANG BANG KILL KILL KILL...

He can combine with the other [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] to form [[Computron (G1)|Computron]], and seems to make a rather calm limb.

{{noteukonly}}
Strafe was part of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]'s group of Autobots on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}} When Fortress Maximus decided to leave the war and head to [[Nebulos]], Strafe and the other Technobots agreed to follow him on his quest for peace, which would have done the high-strung fellow a world of good. Alas, the Decepticons followed the Autobots to Nebulos and brought the war with them. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}} In the Nebulan resort city of [[Splendora]], Strafe and the Technobots fought [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] as the combined [[Computron (G1)|Computron]]. {{storylink|Love and Steel!}} Though Abominus (and its component [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] were defeated, Splendora lay in ruins. The Autobots and Decepticons ultimately left Nebulos for [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

Strafe fell bravely (and rather instantly) in the defense of [[Buenos Aires]] against the [[Underbase]]-powered [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Dark Star (issue)|Dark Star}}

====Marvel UK future timelines====
''In 2008, Strafe and several Autobots under the command of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] responded to a mysterious call for help on Cybertron. Astonishingly, the call came from the Decepticons. Even more astonishing, it was genuine. Strafe and the Autobots joined forces with their Decepticon counterparts in driving a marauding crew of [[Quintesson|Quintessons]] off the planet. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}''

''After [[Time Wars]] rebooted future history, Strafe was next seen stationed at [[Autobot City]] in 2009. When the Autobot shuttle from Cybertron crashed down instead of landing safely, Strafe flew out to help alongside [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] and [[Afterburner (G1)|Afterburner]]. {{storylink|Shadow of Evil}} What they found was Autobot commander [[Rodimus Prime (G1)|Rodimus Prime]], aglow with evil and possessed by the living malice of [[Unicron]] that had infected the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] a year earlier. Strafe was apparently killed in the resulting conflict before Rodimus regained control of his actions. {{storylink|White Fire}}''

''In another future, the last Decepticon was destroyed by [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] and the [[Wrecker|Wreckers]] in 2510. However, the Autobots soon came to blows over a misunderstanding, and war broke out again almost as soon as it ended. Strafe and the Technobots formed a new faction under Ultra Magnus against the Wreckers. {{storylink|Peace}}''

====Generation 1 cartoon====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Steve Bulin]] (English), [[Kōji Totani]] (Japanese)

Strafe was created,like the other Technobots, by the temporarily super-intelligent [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}} Less than a week later, he and the other Technobots were sent to Earth to learn how to interact with [[Human|humans]], where they encountered the unscrupulous trader [[Dirk Manus]] and his business partners, the [[Quintessons]]. {{storylink|Money Is Everything}}

Along with the other Technobots, Strafe attempted to drive away the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] away from [[Mark Morgan|Dr. Morgan]]'s lab, but was unsuccessful in preventing them from retrieving a heat-resistant alloy. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}

Strafe was at Autobot City with his fellow Technobots and the [[Throttlebot|Throttlebots]], talking about what a glorious day it was, and about how every day had been a glorious one ever since they ended the threat of the Decepticons once and for all, and the days would continue to be glorious as long as... okay, you know what's coming. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}}

Strafe and the other Technobots crew the Autobot vessel ''[[Calabi-Yau]]'', under the command of [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]. Strafe was nervous about landing on the burnt our surface of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], but accompanied Jetfire, [[Scattershot]] and [[Lightspeed (Technobot)|Lightspeed]] on a reconnaissance mission. Just as they were about to leave, they were captured by [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s group of Decepticon. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 1}} Strafe survived the techno-cannibalization being performed by the mad cultists and helped uncover the key to defeating the revenant [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4}}

S-Strafe had a n-noticeable s-stutter.

Sometime later, in the aftermath of [[Monstructor]]'s attack on [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], the Technobots and the crew of the ''[[Ark-27]]'' arrived to take the [[Pretender Monster|combiners]] into custody. {{Storylink|Spotlight: Optimus Prime}}

: Strafe transforms into a Cybertronic "rocket plane" (according to his instructions) with twin front-mounted "light-pulse blasters". These cannons can also be used as hand-held weapons in robot mode, making him the only Technobot that can use his vehicle-mode weapons in that manner. As a [[Scramble City]]-style combiner, he can form the limb to any similar-construction super robot, though his nominal placement is as the left arm of [[Computron (G1)|Computron]].

: Later individual releases of all five Technobots were [[Retool|retooled]] to remove their [[Rubsign|rubsign]] indents. There is also a packaging variant for all four small Technobots, which included a random bonus Autobot [[Decoy|"Decoy" mini-figurine]].

Strafe transforms into a Cybertronic starfighter. He comes with a partner figure named [[Rocketbot]] who transforms into a blaster that can be mounted on the vehicle mode's back or plugged into Strafe's wrist sockets to emulate the ''[[The Headmasters (cartoon)|Headmasters]]'' style of [[Targetmaster]] connection.

: Strafe is an [[exclusive]] for members of the [[Transformers Basecamp]] web site in Japan, which is itself exclusive to those who own a ''Transformers''-themed Visa credit card. The ordering period for Strafe ran from [[March 2|March 2nd]] through [[April 30|April 30th]] in 2009.

The [[Autobot]] [[Cyberjet]] known as '''Strafe''' was at one point a [[Decepticon]] Cyberjet. However, over time, he began to sympathize with the Autobots and, along with [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and [[Aero Raid]],
switched sides. His betrayal of the Decepticons has earned him the eternal scorn of the remaining Decepticon Cyberjets.

Strafe can be a little condescending at times, willing to give his fellow Autobots an earful of lecture even in the midst of a heated battle.

==Fiction==
===Japanese G-2 story pages and minicomics===

Strafe was once a member of the Decepticon [[Cyberjet]]s. However, years of fighting began to wear on him and alter his views about the war. He eventually switched sides to the Autobots, along with [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and [[Aero Raid]]. Unfortunately, three Decepticon Cyberjets chose to stay behind. Viewing him as a traitor, they swore vengeance. {{storylink|G-2 (story page)|G-2 Part 4}}

Strafe decked Megatron square in the jaw while chiding Volt for dragging his fellow Autobots into a fight, and warning that they were now up against ''Megatron''. Volt was left unsure whether to be pleased that Strafe saved his life, or ticked that Strafe was being so snotty. {{storylink|G-2 (pack-in comic)|G-2 #15}}

Different robots have different skills and weaknesses. '''Space Case''''s skills consist mainly of going very, very fast, thanks to his plasma-powered engines. It's a good thing too, because his weaknesses mainly consist of being dumber than a fence post. The truth is he's so dumb he should almost certainly have been killed in combat by now; only raw speed and dumb luck have kept him alive this long.

Space Case was once good friends with the Autobot [[Cyberjet]]s back when they were Decepticons. However, when they defected to the enemy, Space Case and the remaining Decepticon Cyberjets swore vengeance. {{storylink|G-2 (story page)|G-2 Part 4}}

During one of the Generation 2 battles, [[Jolt (G2)|Jolt]] chased the low-flying Space Case near a cliffside. Space Case feigned terror as Jolt made snarky comments at the Cyberjet's imminent destruction. Space Case then pulled up at the last second, his great speed rescuing him from certain death. Jolt, surprised, was then shot in the back repeatedly by Space Case, who had planned the attack out all along. {{storylink|G-2 (pack-in comic)|G-2 #8}}

Space Case and the other Cyberjets then joined with [[Jolt (G2)|Jolt]] and [[Sizzle (G2)|Sizzle]], encircling the Autobot [[Laser Rod]]s. Unfortunately, [[Road Rocket (G2)|Road Rocket]] was able to blind them with a smokescreen, allowing for their enemy's escape. {{storylink|G-2 (pack-in comic)|G-2 #11}}

Eventually, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] led an all-out assault on the Autobot base. Space Case joined in the battle, but when Megatron was defeated by Optimus Prime, he and all the Decepticons were driven into deep space. {{storylink|G-2 (story page)|G-2 Part 6}}

In the year 199X, the Decepticons came to [[Earth]] intent on plundering its [[forestonite]], a newly discovered super energy source. The Decepticon Cyberjets made their presence known at the Japanese Self-Defense Force airshow, where they began wreaking havoc, attacking humans for the sheer heck of it. [[Junpei]] attempted to stop Space Case by heroically throwing a pebble at him. This ticked Space Case off, but before he could slaughter the little Japanese kid, [[Electro]] came to the rescue.

Electro was terribly out-numbered, as all three Decepticon Cyberjets made short work of him. After blowing up a Self-Defence Force tank, Space Case prepared to deliver the killing blow to the wounded Electro. Before he could defeat his enemy, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] arrived on the scene and shot Space Case in the head, apparently killing him. {{storylink|The New Battle!!|Generation 2: The New Battle!!}}

: Space Case transforms into a white fighter jet which is a conglomerate of various cutting-edge fighter features, including antihedral (drooped), forward-swept wings, two-dimensional thrust-vectoring nozzles from an F-22, and a nearly flat, V-style tailplane similar to the YF-23 prototype. The end result resembles the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukhoi_Su-47 Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut] fighter. It is painted with a blue grid pattern and red electrified bird on the upper side of the plane. Unique among the Cyberjets, Space Case's missile launcher is on the ventral side of his vehicle mode, and instead of becoming a substitute right hand for the robot mode, the launcher is attached to his right forearm .

This version saw Space Case in a grey and maroon deco with blue and yellow [[tampograph]]s.

==Notes==

* The Generation 2 Space Case jet mode looks very similar to the GI Joe Conquest X-30, and the paint scheme is reminiscent of the Python Conquest.

[[Image:X-Gunner-cardart.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Please disregard the rocket. I'll just punch you instead.]]

'''X-Gunner''' (イクスガンナー ''Ikusuganā'') is one obsessed dude. He's obsessed with combat. He's obsessed with being the very ''best'' in combat. As such, he's obsessed with constantly upgrading his body and weapon systems. And to that end, he has become obsessed with the [[Autobot]] [[Cyberjet]] [[Delta Seeker]]. X-Gunner longs to smash Delta into the ground and wrench his "Gauntlet Frame" missile launcher from the Autobot's arm socket, using it to upgrade his own Gauntlet Frame.

There can be only one.

==Fiction==
===''Robot Masters'' online comic===
[[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], [[Wing Stun]] and X-Gunner approached the patrolling Autobots [[Optimus Primal]], [[R-Blade]] and Delta Seeker, and apparently wanted to have a test of air-speed. Leaving Optimus in their wake, the five jet-form Transformers took off, with the Decepticons ahead. R-Blade used a special spinning technique to get ahead of the Decepticons and generated a smokescreen, giving Delta Seeker the chance to knock all three out of the sky.

After crashing to Earth 55 years ago, the '''King''' scanned a broiler for his [[alternate mode]] and became [[Burger King]]'s Flame-Broiling Culinary Engineer. Despite having a "Conversation" [[Tech Spec]] rank of 0, he somehow revealed his burgering secrets to the Burger King scientists, and stayed hidden on Earth for decades, waiting for the arrival of his fellow Transformers from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. It is possible that the King is the mastermind behind the [[BBQ Double Stackticon]]!

The King is frightening as all hell.

When a lucky customer who had just left a Burger King proclaimed that he had a winning Transform Your Way scratch-off ticket, King dutifully transformed into robot mode and burst through the restaurant's wall to deliver the prize: a pallet bearing one million dollars in cash. The bespectacled winner was quite pleased with this development. The restaurant's manager was not. He emerged from the massive hole King had just made to declare that a million dollars was about how much it would take to fix this mess, to which King simply shrugged in response. The manager further informed King that this time outside of his normal duties counted as his break. King seemed quite dejected to hear this.

Cliffjumper (disambiguation)

2009-10-01T19:54:23Z

{{mainpic|10:32, 24 April 2009 (EDT)}}
'''Spy Streak''' doesn't have much of a personality, but he certainly is tenacious. "Retreat" is a term he is unfamiliar with. Specialized armor, flying skill and a powerful armament assures he is able to hold his own in most fights he finds himself in.

To be fair, he has no hands, just a missile launcher and a giant clamp. His career options were pretty limited.

==Fiction==
===Universe: The Wreckers===
[[Image:Spystreak wreckers.jpg|left|180px|thumb|I'll take stupid questions for $500.]]
Spy Streak was a [[Vehicon general]] created by [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] to help establish air superiority in the fight against the ever-growing number of [[Maximal|Maximals]], [[Wrecker|Wreckers]], and other insurgents on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].

Megatron sent Spy Streak and his stealth drones to fight alongside [[Mirage (BM)|Mirage]], [[Scavenger (BM)|Scavenger]], [[Blastcharge (BM)|Blastcharge]], and [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon drones]] to guard an old [[Autobot]] shuttle from the [[Wrecker|Wreckers]], who wished to use it to get offworld. Spy Streak's drones proved to be inferior to the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] and the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Rotorbolt (Universe)|Rotorbolt]], and the Wreckers soon had control of the sky.

As the battle drew to a close and the Wreckers boarded the shuttle, Spy Streak was pinned under some debris after a shot from [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]]. He could only look on in horror and disbelief as the shuttle blasted off, and the complex was consumed by a gigantic explosion from a bomb left by Cyclonus. Spy Streak was presumably destroyed in the blast. {{storylink|Departure|Departure}}

: Spy Streak is an olive, red and yellow Cybertronic jet, with a shape similar to an SR-71 Blackbird (but covered in tech greebling). As Spy Streak was released in the "[[Battle for the Spark]]" portion of the Beast Machines toyline, his [[spark crystal]] and its housing are used to activate his nosecone-claw [[gimmick]]. In jet mode, this gimmick is linked up to his twin missile launcher, firing the missiles as the claw opens.

'''Thomas James Kenny''' (born [[July 13]]th, 1962) is an American voice actor, actor and stand-up comedian. From the stand-up side, he is known for his Comedy Central special as well as his prominent role on ''Mr. Show''. On the voice-acting side, he is best recognized as the titular character from ''Spongebob Squarepants''. However, we can forgive him for that, because he's also The Penguin from ''The Batman'', The Amazing Mumbo from ''Teen Titans'', Gibson from ''Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go'', Jake from ''My Gym Partner is a Monkey'', Raimundo from ''Xiaolin Showdown'', Heifer Wolfe from ''Rocko's Modern Life'', the mayor and narrator from the ''Powerpuff Girls'', and... jeez, just about everything that's been on [[Cartoon Network]] in the past five years. As an on-camera actor, he has played Patchy The Pirate on segments of ''Spongebob Squarepants'', and very early on in his career, he played the villainous Binky The Clown in Bobcat Goldthwait's cult comedy ''Shakes The Clown''.

[[Image:Beachcomber sawyer.png|right|250px|thumb|''Hippies.'' They're everywhere. They wanna save the earth, but all they do is smoke pot and smell bad.]]
'''Beachcomber''' has a hard time reconciling his love of peace and freedom for all creatures with the need to combat those who threaten it. Furthermore, however just the cause for which it was fought, the gruesome and destructive aftermath of any battle sickens him to the spark.

Sometimes, when the internal struggle gets too heavy, he simply has to wander into the wilderness and cleanse his soul. Even there, far from civilization, he sometimes finds strange substances to aid the Autobot cause, for Beachcomber is a skilled naturalist, and geology is his specialty, man. He often tries to preserve or even to hide these discoveries, but he has seen too much evil done by the ruthless Decepticons to conceal any possible source of aid completely from his allies.

Beachcomber's geology tools include a wide array of sensors (magnetic, seismic, sonic, infrared) and a 'sonic pick' which can cut through rock. Beachcomber can use his magnetic sensors to navigate like a compass, but local magnetic disturbances can cause this to lead him astray. His sonic probes possess only limited range.

Beachcomber is neither very fast nor very strong, and his antiwar sentiments gain him little respect from the more martial of the Autobots, yet he is agile and skilled in a fight, and his courage is beyond all reproach.

[[Image:Beachcomber with bird.jpg|right|180px|thumb|He talks to the animals. Especially after a good hit of Kalis Mountain High.]]
Beachcomber showed up out of nowhere one day, helping [[Hound (G1)|Hound]], [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] investigate some [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] attacks on an old growth forest. This unit proved to be sufficiently under-powered when it came to confronting freshly fed Insecticons, and their battle strategy amounted to hiding behind Hound's holograms until the bad robots went away. {{storylink|The Insecticon Syndrome}} He was next seen on [[Dinobot Island (G1)|Dinobot Island]], worrying that the battle with the Decepticons would destroy the environment before it could be properly studied, but at least he was still fighting while complaining. {{storylink|Dinobot Island, Part 2}} {{storylink|Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1}} {{storylink|Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2}}

[[Image:Goldenlagoonbeachcomber1.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Seriously, he hangs out with a lot of birds.]]

Unlike the next time. On a geology expedition with [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] and several other Autobots, Beachcomber abandoned them in the middle of a firefight to explore a cave in the nearby cliffside. While his friends were dodging laser fire and trading blows, Beachcomber was learning to speak parakeet and communing with nature. He also found a golden lagoon full of [[electrum]], a naturally-occurring element which would make any Transformer impervious to harm. He dipped his hand into the lagoon, and it turned completely gold in color. Beachcomber hid this information from his fellow Autobots, and even kept his silence after [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] arrived coated in electrum and drove the Autobots into retreat, capturing two of their number in the process. Valuing the scenic beauty surrounding the electrum pool, Beachcomber still refused to warn his comrades after the ''entire Decepticon army'' arrived coated with invincible golden armor. He went solo to check on the lagoon, and was captured by the Decepticons. Some of the dumber [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] acted as his prison guards at the Decepticon sunken base, though, and Beachcomber managed to escape alongside his fellow prisoners Perceptor and [[Seaspray (G1)|Seaspray]].

Reaching the electrum pool, the trio was met by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and the rest of the Autobots, who had independently uncovered the pool's location thanks to [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]]. Realizing his golden hand would give him away, Beachcomber quickly dove into the electrum to disguise his prior knowledge of the substance. In the final battle with the Decepticons, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] ordered the electrum pool destroyed rather than sharing it with the Autobots. In the aftermath of the explosion, the wilderness was totally decimated. Beachcomber never told the Autobots that he had known about the Decepticons' secret weapon and had kept silent, and instead sat around mourning the loss of the grass and trees.

Beachcomber is kinda a selfish dick, honestly. {{storylink|The Golden Lagoon}}

Beachcomber briefly maintained a position at the Autobots' New York City base inside [[Sparkplug Witwicky|Sparkplug's]] garage. {{storylink|Make Tracks}} He was also seen attending Teletraan I when the Autobots were engaged with the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] and [[Morphobot]]s. {{storylink|Quest for Survival}} Beachcomber was next seen protecting [[San Francisco]] from an alien bird-dragon unleashed on Earth by the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. He tried appealing to the creature, thinking that we're all one with the same universe. Yeah... that didn't work well. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme}} When the energy creature called [[Kremzeek]] assaulted the Ark, Beachcomber was one of the first Autobots short-circuited by the little creep. {{storylink|Kremzeek!}}

Beachcomber was later kidnapped by a greedy toll booth and forced to drive in a circle while hopping over spike-traps. It might make more sense if we explained it better, but it would be nowhere near as funny. {{storylink|Prime Target}}

Next, after Megatron kidnapped [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] and then voluntarily let him go, Beachcomber joined the ''entire Autobot team'' in riding out a few miles from the base to retrieve their friend. Why several dozen Autobots were needed for such a simple mission...is unknown. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}}

In 2006, Beachcomber was stationed at the Ark with [[Warpath (G1)|Warpath]], [[Pipes]] and several others when [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] came to destroy it. Their feeble efforts to defend the spacecraft were barely noted by the dinosaur robot. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===
{{noteukonly}}
[[Image:Smeltingpoolminivehicles.jpg|left|200px|thumb|On Cybertron, Beachcomber basically transformed into whatever Kup does.]]
Beachcomber was a member of Perceptor's resistance cell on Cybertron who disobeyed orders along with most of the cell to help [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] recover [[Scrounge (G1)|Scrounge]] from the [[smelting pool]]. He actually demonstrated some uncharacteristic strength and gusto, tearing down a [[laser sentinel tower]] with his bare hands. The rescue mission failed, but they did recover Scrounge's stolen data, and learned that Optimus Prime and the crew of the Ark were alive and fighting on Earth.{{storylink|The Smelting Pool!}}

[[Image:Powerglidereadytoblastoffrightnow.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Beachcomber's bloodthirstiest moment.]]

Soon after, Perceptor's crew began a mission to destroy the [[Space Bridge]] before the Decepticons on Earth and Cybertron could begin trading resources. Beachcomber used his geological skills to map out a safe path underneath the planet's surface to bomb the underlying support structures of [[Darkmount]], bringing down [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]]'s whole fortress. The unit failed to destroy the Space Bridge, however, and were ultimately forced to retreat across the Bridge to Earth. {{storylink|The Bridge to Nowhere!}}

Beachcomber and his fellows were taken captive by [[Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team|RAAT]] and their commanding officer, the robot-hater [[Circuit Breaker]], and their heads were mounted on the wall of their headquarters. {{storylink|Aerialbots over America!}} Circuit Breaker showed footage of their defeat to fellow RAAT operative [[Walter Barnett]]. Meanwhile, [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] and the shifty human [[Donny Finkleberg]] were sent on a mission to determine their whereabouts, but Finkleberg sold out Skids to RAAT as well. {{storylink|Heavy Traffic!}} Ultimately, Finkleberg redeemed himself by forcing the captured Autobots' release as part of a deal. If the combined bodies of Beachcomber and the other captives could successfully aid in the defeat of the vandalizing [[Battlecharger|Battlechargers]], they would be set free. And so it was. ''Beachcomber and the others headed home, directed by Skids, when the time-traveling [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] took their guide's place. Galvatron tore his way through the group, one by one, with Beachcomber one of his casualties. {{storylink|Resurrection!}}''

[[Image:Beachcomberdarkstar.jpg|left|150px|thumb|They're about to crash through Bruce Wayne's window.]]
Beachcomber managed to avoid virtually all kinds of fighting for the rest of his time on Earth, doing nothing more strenuous than getting shot at by the Ark's own defense systems. {{storylink|Funeral for a Friend!}} While he did champion Blaster for replacing [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] as the Autobots' commander, this didn't stop Beachcomber from whining about senseless violence throughout their duel on the moon. Luckily, a Decepticon strike force arrived to drown out his voice with some lasers and explosives. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

When the Autobots rescued [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]] from the Arctic and were ambushed by the Decepticons, Beachcomber was among the first to be attacked, set upon and mauled by [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]]. {{storylink|Dark Star (issue)|Dark Star}}

''Presumably, this rendered him non-functional, as Beachcomber was last seen laying deactivated aboard [[Ark (G1)|The Ark]] as [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] attempted to repair him. {{storylink|Deathbringer (issue)|Deathbringer}}''
{{-}}

====Marvel UK future timelines====
''When the [[Quintesson|Quintessons]] raided [[Autobot City]] in 2008, Beachcomber and [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]] rushed to defend their home with a team of fellow Autobots. Unfortunately, the Quintesson shock troops were too much for them, and quickly overran the defenders. Beachcomber and his [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]] buddy made a run for back-up, but were jumped from behind and taken out with the rest. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}''

===Find Your Fate Junior===
Beachcomber had to find a path to the surface from the cave system the Autobots were trapped in. He explored the system of underground lakes, marveling at the many strange things that lived there. While recharging the [[Sun-Pak]] on the surface, he was attacked by [[Kickback (G1)|Kickback]], and had to be saved by [[Sparkplug Witwicky|Sparkplug]]. How humiliating. {{storylink|Attack of the Insecticons}}

''In the 'unsuccessful' ending to this [[multipath adventure]], Beachcomber became lost when his magnetic sensors erroneously led him directly to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. He did not regret this error for long.''

Beachcomber discovered [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] practicing his earthquakes near a concealed base and learned of a Decepticon plan to destroy nearby [[Center City]].

[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] decided that such grave news required a pinpoint response with ''utmost'' secrecy... so he sent the recklessly impulsive [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]], the bombastic [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]], and Beachcomber to babysit the other two. {{storylink|Earthquake (book)|Earthquake}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
[[Image:Csbeachcomber.jpg|left|150px|thumb|"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man. Bonnnngggg!!!"]]
Beachcomber was spurred into action against [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s regime on Cybertron when Optimus Prime returned to the planet and rallied the Autobots into action. His actual contribution to the insurrection is undocumented, but it's entirely possible he may have even picked up a weapon. Really. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}}

Afterwards, Beachcomber was assigned to a mission suitable for his pacifism, as part of Bumblebee's supply crew on the ''[[Orion]]'', bringing news and fuel to their comrades on Earth. {{storylink|Night of the Combaticons}} Little did they know they would be caught up in heavy combat with [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]. Beachcomber was supposed to be guarding Sunstorm's primary target, the Decepticon [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], in an Alaskan bunker. Now, of course, the question isn't whether Starscream betrayed them at the first opportunity; it's whether Beachcomber even bothered to pick up his gun and try to stop Starscream, or just passively let the 'Con gun him down. {{storylink|The Omega Effect}}
{{-}}

===IDW comics continuity===
Beachcomber was first seen in the early days of the war with [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]] and [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]], meeting the damaged [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] and [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] when their transport ship returned to HQ. {{storylink|Spotlight: Jazz}}

Later, Beachcomber was captured by [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], who used [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] to slip him the [[Cerebro-shell|brown acid]]. Under its control, Beachcomber attempted on three occasions to assassinate [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]]. Ultimately, Blaster confronted him about it and forced him to fight against his Decepticon control. Though his mental resistance shorted out the shell, his neural processors were severely damaged as well.

Beachcomber was last seen in stasis in a C.R. chamber. Whether or not he is functional enough to experience [[Wikipedia:Lysergic acid diethylamide|flashbacks]] is unknown. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blaster}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
* '''Beachcomber''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-63'''

[[Image:G1Beachcomber toy.jpg|right|150px|thumb|My other altmode is a bong.]]
: Beachcomber transforms into a blue and gray dune buggy of probably made-up model. The figure came in several variants, one with "[[Hasbro]]" stamped across the left arm (removing half the "mesh" pattern), and one without (leaving the full mesh there).

: Later on, Beachcomber (along with all of the then-current [[Mini Vehicle|Mini Vehicles]]) came packaged with a bonus [[Mini-spy]] as well.

:Although not documented in his instructions Beachcomber's legs are extendable adding several precious millimetres to his height.

{{-}}

===Generation 2===
* '''Beachcomber''' (Mini Vehicle, 1993)

: ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Beachcomber uses the exact same mold as his Generation 1 counterpart. However, this time around, the blue was replaced with a chrome green and the grey of the upper legs and lamps was replaced with [[neon]] red. This version removed the "half-mesh" on the left arm and simply replaced it with a large Hasbro copyright stamp.

: A rare variant exists that may have been a testshot run with grey legs. These figures were apparently given out internally by Hasbro as [[Christmas]] ornaments, as they have been found bagged with a string attached and a card reading "Transformers Christmas ornament" on one side and "Merry Christmas from the Boys' Toys Marketing" on the other. The same treatment has been seen with a G2 Seaspray as well.

===Universe (2008)===
====G1 Series====
[[Image:Universe2008 Legends Beachcomber.jpg|right|170px|thumb|Has a [[fireblast]] of 1, yet is the only Legends Mini-Vehicle with a weapon.]]
*'''Beachcomber''' (Legends, 2008)

:Released in wave 4 of ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' (2008) Legends, Beachcomber is a new-mold toy of the original Beachcomber with a robot mode inspired by his [[character model]]; his alternate mode appears to be inspired by the Warthog vehicle from the ''Halo'' game series. He is labeled as being part of ''Universe'''s "G1 Series." Amusingly, the pacifist Beachcomber has a top-mounted machine gun in vehicle mode. Maybe it's a paintball gun?

{{-}}

===Henkei! Henkei!===
*'''Minibot Attack Team''' (Multi-pack, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-18'''

:The ''[[Henkei! Henkei! (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' release of ''Universe'' Beachcomber has more [[Show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] colours and paint applications. He comes in a set with [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]].

==Notes==
[[Image:TFTM-MaybeBeachcomber.jpg|thumb|]]

*A robot with a color scheme approximating Beachcomber's could be seen ahead of [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] in line for [[Unicron|Unicron's]] smelting pool in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Being ahead of Spike means he would have been destroyed before [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel]] shot down the lid, and he wasn't seen afterwards in the escape from Unicron. But, while "[[Five Faces of Darkness]]" is well known for its errors, Beachcomber's presence in those episodes means it probably was not him inside Unicron.

Rodimus Prime (Animated)

2009-08-16T12:53:37Z

24.151.189.19: /* Notes */ Fixed really awkward phrasing on that last note. Hopefully kept the intended meaning attack.

{{faction|autobot}}
{{disambig3|Rodimus}}
:''Rodimus Prime is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''
[[Image:Animated Rodimus Bow.jpg|thumb|400px|Hawkeye Prime]]

'''Rodimus Prime''' is more than just a high ranking Autobot officer, he's the "Chosen One"! He is extremely popular amongst his fellow Autobot brethren, and has mastered several different battle skills, including servo-to-servo combat. While he has mastered the use of various defensive weaponry, his personal weapon of choice is his uniquely-designed energy bow. Rodimus is a born leader and strives to become the next [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Magnus]]. In other words, he's "practically perfect in every way".

==Fiction==
===''Animated'' cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Judd Nelson]] (English)

[[Image:TransWarpedRodimusCosmicRust.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Aww, but I'm too cool to rust!]]

Rodimus Prime and his team, [[Red Alert (Animated)|Red Alert]], [[Hot Shot (Animated)|Hot Shot]], [[Brawn (Animated)|Brawn]], and [[Ironhide (Animated)|Ironhide]], defended [[space bridge 687-030]] from [[Team Chaar]]. Rodimus ordered Brawn and Ironhide to fall back so they could protect the bridge, but a combo attack from [[Oil Slick (Animated)|Oil Slick]] and [[Cyclonus (Animated)|Cyclonus]] took down both [[Autobot]]s. Rodimus managed to evade [[Spittor (Animated)|Spittor]]'s tentacle-attack and incapacitate the monster, but he was quickly knocked aside by [[Blackout (Animated)|Blackout]]'s power-stomp attack.

As the Decepticons moved in, Rodimus defiantly growled that they'd have to go through him. In response, Oil Slick threw a vial of [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust]] at Rodimus' feet, which quickly spread across his body and paralyzed him. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

The figure comes with an Energy Bow, capable of firing two missiles.

{{comingsoontoy}}

==Notes==
*Rodimus shares his [[Hot Rod (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]]'s original voice actor, Judd Nelson.
*In an answer to a question at [http://www.allspark.com/content/view/4966/20/ TFCon 2009], [[Derrick Wyatt]] stated that Rodimus is recovering from the Cosmic Rust attack. Aside from a very brief cameo<ref>An Autobot with Rodimus's character model but slightly different color scheme can be seen in the lower right of a crowd shot in [[Endgame, Part II]].</ref> that may or may not be him, Rodimus's fate has never been revealed fictionally.
*Originally, Rodimus was going to be the [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|jerk]] character of ''Animated''. This means his team is roughly 60% [[Hot Shot (Animated)|scrapped]] [[Red Alert (Animated)|ideas]] although 40% of those are because of the [[Transformers (2007)|live action movie]].

Flame (Marvel)

2009-08-13T01:51:52Z

24.151.189.19: /* Notes */ Restored the line. I like it, so there.

{{disambig3|Flame}}
{{factions|autobot}}
:''Flame is a renegade [[Autobot|Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Continuity family|continuity family]].''

[[Image:FlameUK Robot%26Tank.jpg|right|200px|thumb|"SCIENCE TANK MODE!"]]

'''Flame''' is a disgraced Autobot scientist, and with fairly good reason. His brilliance is overshadowed by an obliviousness to risk as he stubbornly pursues his grandiose ideas. His sole concern with other beings is whether they think he's right. And if they don't, he only becomes more obsessed with accomplishing his goals, no matter who or what must be sacrificed. This has driven him to an eons-long reclusion spent secretly enacting his master plan. On the rare occasion when he actually has contact with others, his mannerisms are flamboyant and histrionic, and he is never without either a grin or a grimace.

He transforms into a "firetank" with a high-powered flame thrower and a very fetching red, yellow and orange colour scheme. Also he has a [[zombie]] army, so try not to die around him.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics UK continuity===
Millions of years ago, Flame was a member of the [[Iacon]] [[Academy of Science and Technology]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Flame proposed adapting [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s plan—turning Cybertron into a mobile war world—so that it would instead become a mobile spaceship for exploration. [[Emirate Xaaron]] spoke out against the plan, as the fusion reactor required would be highly dangerous.

Flame was removed from the academy and denied funds to continue his research. However, he embezzled money from the academy and continued his research in an old lab in the city of [[Kalis]].

One day he was careless and the lab was destroyed in an explosion. The Autobots thought Flame was dead, but in reality he had survived and discovered that the explosion uncovered the entrance to the experimental engines that Megatron had built.

[[Image:FlameUK Giddy.jpg|left|300px|thumb|His grant proposals were always rejected, no matter ''how'' much hysterical glee he showed.]]

Flame took advantage of the accident, allowing the world to believe him dead while he secretly pursued his goal. He worked on repairing the engines for millions of years, striving for the day that he would prove himself to have been right all along. That day came into sight in the year 1988, when he finally began to activate the massive systems. But venting the fusion reactor ignited a subterranean gas pocket and destroyed a portion of Kalis.

While this did not disrupt his operations, it did draw attention, so he activated his defense plan: Using the Decepticon engine-control computer (with modifications), he broadcast a signal by which he could reanimate any corpses within an area that seemed to correspond to the city limits. This quickly turned Kalis into a "zombie"-infested wasteland where neither Autobots nor Decepticons dared tread.

As it happened, the headquarters of the Autobot resistance movement had recently been moved to a new [[Autobase (G1)|Autobase]] in Kalis. So Flame's old rival Xaaron was there when the reactor-venting explosion and subsequent zombie assault occurred. This was another happy accident for Flame, who gloated in taking Xaaron and the [[Wrecker]]s prisoner so they could witness firsthand the fulfillment of his plan. {{storylink|Legion of the Lost!}}

Xaaron, of course, was no less averse to Flame's risky venture than he had been millions of years earlier. Xaaron managed to escape from his cell and attack Flame, but the latter's firetank mode sent him running. Xaaron even considered converting to his own "combat mode" despite his fear that doing so might kill him, as it had been so very long since he had done it before. But in the end, Xaaron was able to distract Flame out of his murderous rage by pointing out that the reactor was nearing meltdown.

[[Image:FlameUK HARPOONED.jpg|right|200px|thumb|"YEAH!"]]

For a moment, it seemed that Flame would listen to reason, but when the two were actually in the control room about to shut the reactor down, his jealousy resurfaced, and he refused to let Xaaron stop his plan. The standoff was handily ended by the Wreckers, who had been joined by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], the [[Sparkabot|Sparkler Mini-Bots]], and even the Decepticons [[Flywheels]] and [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. Flame summoned his zombies, but it was one of them who proved his undoing: The corpse of the Wreckers' old leader [[Impactor]] had, due to contact with his former troops, been acquiring a resistance to Flame's control. As Flame tried once again to kill Xaaron, Impactor sent a spear through Flame's head. Impactor then entered the reactor chamber and shut it off while its lethal radiation destroyed him a second time. The engines still exploded, but the damage to Cybertron was minimal compared to what could have happened if the reactor had blown up as well. {{storylink|Meltdown!}}

==Notes==
* Flame apparently spent the better part of four million years working on Megatron's fusion reactor. This either makes him very thorough or somewhat incompetent. Or, given that he's crazy, both.
