His last words before going off-line inform that Autobots that the Decepticons got what they wanted out of Sparkplug.

*Guest stars Spider-Man in the symbiont costume.

'''That big green, fire-snortin' lizard''' is a mysterious creature referred to once. Apparently, it is big, green, and possibly snorts fire.
==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics===
Upon hearing about trouble in [[Oregon]], S.H.I.E.L.D. employee [[Nicholas]] (aka Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD in the Marvel Universe)threatens to quit if it's that big green, fire-snortin' lizard. {{storylink|Prisoner of War!}}

''(It has been speculated that the lizard in question may be the dreaded, irradiated monster Godzilla, or the dragonlike supervillain Fing Fang Foom, both as described in the publications of Marvel Comics. Alternatively, Nicholas may have been referring to [[Hojoni]].)''

Female Autobots

2006-11-15T18:53:09Z

24.187.96.40: /* American Animated Continuity */

''The Female Autobots are a group of female Transformers led by [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]]

[[Image:Femaleautobots.jpg|thumb|250px|Amazon Autobots on Beta Moon?]]

They stole [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave's]] cookies for four million years and he never noticed.

''('''Note''': The name 'Female Autobots' does not refer to this group in all continuities. For instance: in Dreamwave continuity Elita One's group are warriors for the [[Quintessons]], not Autobots.)''

==Members==
*[[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]]
*[[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]]
*[[Firestar (G1)|Firestar]]
*[[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]]
*[[Female_Autobots#Green Female|Unnamed Green Female Autobot]]
*[[Female_Autobots#Orange Female|Unnamed Orange Female Autobot]]

==Fiction==
===American Animated Continuity===

The Female Autobots were believed destroyed by a missile strike during the [[Ark (G1)|Ark's]] launch 4 million years ago.

By 1985, they were the last active resistance on Cybertron, operating in secret. [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] discovered their continued existance and tracked them back to their underground headquarters.

A subsequent attempt to capture Elita One resulted in a reunion with the Autobots of Earth, who believed the Female Autobots had perished long ago.

The Female Autobots relocated to a new secret headquarters provided by [[Alpha Trion]].

===Dreamwave Continuity===
Yadda-yadda, lesbian Quintesson love toys.

==Unnamed Members==
The two unnamed female Autobots seem to serve a more support/defensive role, while Chromia leads a strike force out on raids.

''While difficult to judge the [[:Image:Fa scale.jpg|relative size]] of these characters (since they are often foreshortened in the background,) the Green and Orange Female Autobots appear the smallest in the group. Or, the art is bad. Take your pick.''

===Green Female===
[[Image:Femaleautobot green.jpg|thumb]]
Seen manning a series of monitors in their original headquarters.

When trapped in their collapsed base, she appears more visibly defeated than any of her comrades.

''She seems to mix less with the others.''

===Orange Female===
[[Image:Femaleautobot orange.jpg|thumb|left|Disco is dead.]]
The only member of Elita One's command '''not''' present in flashbacks to the Ark's Launch.

She's seen performing maintenance in their original base.

In contrast to her green comrade, she appears casual, even nonchalant while trapped in their ruined base.

''The orange Female Autobot appears on the cover of the Club Udon special edition cover to Gi Joe vs. The Transformers volume 3 #2, but she is discolored like the green female. Presumably one (or both) of them also exist in the Joe/TF continuity

Go-Bot (G2)

2006-11-15T18:09:48Z

24.187.96.40: /* Unreleased */

{{disambig3|GoBots}}
Released in 1995, the [[Generation 2]] '''Go-Bots''' are small 1:64-scale Transformers cars, the same size as "Matchbox" and "Hot Wheels" brand cars. In fact, Go-Bots were developed to be used with tracks and playests from those brands, sharing the same smooth-rolling axle/wheel construction that lets the toys be quickyl zipped along smooth surfaces.

During Generation 2, three different sets of Go-Bots were released. The initial set consisted of

*[[Blowout (G2)|Blowout]]
*[[Double Clutch (G2)|Double Clutch]]
*[[Firecracker (G2)|FireCracker]]
*[[Gearhead (G2)|Gearhead]]
*[[High Beam (G2)|High Beam]]
*[[Motormouth (G2)|Motormouth]]

The second set was largely the same, replacing all of the transparent plastics with opaques of the same colors. Firecracker and Blowout were replaced by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] in this set.

As was the case for most of late Generation 2, the complete set of six were completely [[redeco]]ed and made into new versions of returning [[Generation 1]] characters.

*[[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]
*[[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]]
*[[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]
*[[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]]
*[[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]]
*[[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]

These molds were later re-used as the [[Spy Changers]] for [[Robots in Disguise]].

For [[BotCon 1995]], an [[exclusive]] redeco of High Beam was released as [[Nightracer (G2)|Nightracer]].

==Unreleased==
A second set of six new molds were developed for late Generation 2. Though four of these toys had been given complete paint jobs and were apparently ready to be released, the Generation 2 line was ended before they could be released. One of them appears to be a new form for the Generation 1 [[Decepticon]] [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]], as the toy had a tampograph with "Rumble" on its side.

These same four molds would later finally see retail release in the Robots in Disguise line, then later as Generation 1 characters for the [[Universe]] line.

The remaining two molds appear to have been separated from the sprues during the original development cycle, and it is likely they may never see release.

An early prototype of a Go-Bot "Racing Rig" has surfaced, with a proposed redeco of Gearhead as [[Greasepit (G2)|Greasepit]]. All information suggests this toy never made it past the hand-made, hand-painted state.
