'''Wheelie''', so small, is an Autobot child. But when stakes are high, he gets mean and wild! He carries a slingshot that shoots hurtful things; they'll hit your nose (the projectile, it stings). He has a speech pattern that's structured in rhyme, and he hangs out with [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel]] most of the time.

Some think he's annoying and wish he would die. His answer to that? Here's death in your eye.

[[Image:Wheelietftmslingshot.jpg|left|250px|thumb|From early on, it was fated: it would be me that you all hated!]]

On far off [[Quintessa]] his ship it did crash. Wheelie survived, though his ship turned to ash. Though friendless and alone, Wheelie remained alive. For Wheelie is strong and the strong must survive!

On one fateful day, the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] came in search of their friends, so Wheelie gayly offered to help them meet their ends. With his confident walk and whimsical talk, he earned the respect of the Mighty [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. And then with the help of [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] and the rest, Wheelie returned to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], which most can attest. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

[[Image:FFOD4 Autobots lipoles.JPG|right|200px|thumb|With beasts big and small I've had my spats, but did Wheelie deserve to fight all these bats?]]

In 2006, for all that it's worth, he was charged with bringing [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]'s [[transformation cog]] to [[Earth]]. To accomplish the task Wheelie was paired with fast-talking [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]]. But Galvatron soon stranded them on Io, that villainous cur! Being attacked by [[lipole]]s, things began to look grim. But then [[Marissa Faireborn]] and [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] came to rescue him! With the cog at last delivered, Metroplex came alive. He thrashed [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] and that vile villain took a dive! {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness}}

Wheelie shot at a [[Tornedron]] as a spider bathed in light. But Tornedron drained his life, leaving Wheelie's body white.

Wheelie, Kup, [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], and Blurr guarded during the [[Gregory Swofford|human]] plot. They then battled a [[Hate Plague|plagued]] [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] and Wheelie was shot. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}} He was revived by a [[Quintesson]] who tried to work faster. When Optimus Prime set out, he was replaced with [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]]! {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2}}

[[Image:Wheelie-hm.jpg|left|200px|thumb|''Headmasters'' Wheelie could be as snarky as you please!<br>His words to Chromedome? "It's too late for apologies!"]]

By 2011, Wheelie was too petulant to rhyme. He blamed everything on [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]], like, ''all'' of the time. Although a jerk to the core, Wheelie was not all alone. He hung out with [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel]] and the two were quite danger-prone.

At one point, at a party he had too much to drink. He got drunk and passed out, that adorable rat-fink.

===''Headmasters'' manga===
[[Image:DanielWheelie.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Wheelie knows of many joys, best of all is supple young boys!]]

Shortly after the defeat of [[Scorponok (G1)|Mega Zarak]], [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundblaster]] showed up and began to attack! Wheelie, unprepared, took a kick right to the face. Soundblaster got all up in his grill, saying "Bitch! Know your place!" When [[Slugfest (G1)|Slugfest]] and [[Overkill (G1)|Overkill]], took hostage [[Carly Witwicky (G1)|Carly]] and [[Spike Witwicky|Spike]], [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel]] went berserk and started to strike! Sending the [[Decepticon Mini-Cassette|Cassette dinosaurs]] running back home, Soundblaster was left open to an attack from [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]]. As the Autobots left Earth, Wheelie and Daniel said "Goodbye". They huggled and they snuggled and the reader just screamed "WHY!?!" {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 8}}

[[Teletraan 15]]'s panties are so frilly and white. But when Wheelie peeked, [[Teletraan 10|10]] took this as a slight! [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] also came to give Wheelie a scolding, but then hugged 15, whose spine now needs remolding!

=====Marvel UK future timelines=====
''None too far did Wheelie roam - still, he called [[Quintessa|Quintesson]] his home. For Rodimus Prime he was quite the spy, he liked to report on what locals would try. The rescue of Wreck-Gar was his claim to fame, then Wheelie helped spoil the Quintessons' name. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}''

====Generation 2====
Here in the present, Wheelie hasn't been seen - he might be too young, if you know what we mean? Still if one wants to argue he's in this abode...Look, there's Wheelie! Right there on the road! {{storylink|The Power and the Glory}}

===Dreamwave Comics continuity===
[[Image:Wheeliedw.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Wheelie's gone feral! Let's hope he's sterile.]]
Although [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] promised peace to one and all, Wheelie was smart and for that ruse he did not fall. He joined a team along with [[Gnaw]], his [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticon]] pet. Together they strived to unveil Shockwave's evil threat.

[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] joined their side, but thought Gnaw was attacking and beat his hide. Wheelie thought him a brute, and in retaliation, he bit the commander's boot.

Believe it or not, just like in Japan, Wheelie did not rhyme once, much to the joys of many a fan. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}}

[[Image:Wheeliewreckers.jpg|right|150px|thumb|For Daniel only Arcee cried, but poor Wheelie also died!]]
Look out, Wheelie, for in one future near, a plot will unravel to destroy all you hold dear! With [[Doctor Fujiyama the Famous Scientist|Dr. Fujiyama]] in tow, the Autobots were quite screwed. It seems a legion of [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbirds]] were in a terrible mood! With Wheelie injured thanks to a shot in the back, scar-faced Daniel realized the villains would cut them no slack. Prepared to die to stop the evil hordes, Wheelie told Daniel these few final words:

{{quote|Through all our lives, I've been your friend. But now it's time for this to end.}}

With a grenade pin pulled, signalling doom, Daniel made everyone go Kaboom! {{storylink|Departure}}

[[Image:Wheeliebrawntapoutescape.jpg|left|300px|thumb|To what universe does this Wheelie go? From Nightbird death? We'll never know!]]

Centuries passed, with Wars both Great and of Beast, but once again [[Unicron]] was prepared to feast! An alternate Wheelie was poached from his home and locked in the [[Cauldron]] where no one could roam. He would fight other Transformers till death, either one; the loser would feed his [[spark]] to hungry Unicron! Trapped in a cage, Wheelie was doomed to meet [[Primus|his maker]]. However, he was saved by [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]] and [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]]! He escaped with the others, through a portal they were hurled, towards perhaps his home universe, a return to his world. {{storylink|Escape (issue)|Escape}}

[[Image:Wheeliesurvival.jpg|left|100px|thumb|Wheelie is sad for once again he's been had!]]

Wheelie wanted to help and all, but the Autobots thought he was too small. Then one day he got his due, but radiation crashed his ship—boo hoo! The world's creatures towered over him; he [[Universal greeting|greeted]] [[Chaosteros|one]] and lost a limb. He got it back, so he wasn't sunk, but where he found it really stunk. Alas, he dug in poop in vain; after, transforming caused great pain. The trail of a crashed ship he embarked upon, but when he found it—Decepticon! An [[Varta|alien]] was tortured by [[Spectro]] and [[Spyglass]], but Wheelie swooped in and saved Varta's ass. Wheelie had saved him just in time, so he taught Wheelie how to rhyme! Varta had a ship that flew, and Wheelie's power source would do. They both prepared to leave the place, but Spyglass shot Varta in the face! They took the ship and left Wheelie to his doom, but he surprised the 'Cons and made the ship go kaboom! One year later, he and Varta have a home, and his fate no longer does Wheelie bemoan! {{storylink|Spotlight: Wheelie}}

*'''Wheelie''' (Mini Vehicle, 1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-80'''

: Wheelie's transformation does not go very far, he turns into a generic "futuristic car". Surprisingly enough, the fans' fancy he tickles, as he's the only new mold of the third-year [[Mini Vehicle]]s.

: This mold was [[redeco]]ed much later on, into an old friend of Prime's who was named [[Dion]].

To make the rhyming one a little neater, he now transforms into a "[[Junkion|Junk Planet]] speeder!"<ref>Wheelie's cardback calls him this, assuming Hasbro's not taking the piss.</ref> Hasbro was thoughtful, and kept Wheelie armed. They sculpted a slingshot! Enemies be alarmed!

:Orange is the color of Wheelie from Hasbro, but across the Pacific, he's light orange-yellow. He comes packed with two other Minibots totaling three, though [[Warpath (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|Warpath]] and [[Cosmos (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|Cosmos]] are not for free.

==Trivia==
*In the first [[commercial]] where Wheelie did appear, his voice didn't sound anywhere near! Although Frank Welker did the gig, Wheelie's voice came much deeper, dig? In fact — and we're sure you'll all agree — he sounded like the [[Wikipedia:The Smurfs|Smurfs']] pal [[Wikipedia:Johan and Peewit|Peewit]]! (That's pronounced "Peewee", you see.)

*[[Chris Ryall]] said Wheelie would get a [[Spotlight: Wheelie|spotlight]] on his [http://ryalltime.blogspot.com/2008/02/who-said-music-industry-is-dead.html blog]. His hide the fans did wish to flog. On [http://jizaitoys.seesaa.net/article/34599110.html Jizai's design] [[Klaus Scherwinski]] did base, for Wheelie's sake he does not lose face.

*Among those who dislike Wheelie is [[Floro Dery]], his creator—really! Dery's said that of all his Transformers designs, Wheelie's the one that he most maligns—maybe even the only one!

* In [[Armada (cartoon)|Armada]], his animation model was used. He agreed with [[Arrogant Autobot officer|his boss]], and [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] was abused. They believed Hot Shot's [[Wheeljack (Armada)|friend]] had died in those flames. Thanks to those jerks, Hot Shot is who he blames.

* In [[Bee in the City]], they thought [[Bumblebee (Animated)|'Bee]] was Wheelie, and [[Hot Shot (Armada)|some]] [[Side Burn (RID)|other]] [[Cheetor (BW)|guys]] who he never was really!

* [[Guido Guidi]] redesigned Wheelie for ''[[All Hail Megatron]]'', you see, but this design was never used and Wheelie was cut from the series due to "[[Spotlight: Wheelie]]".

Octus (G1)

2009-07-06T23:32:00Z

24.201.123.82: /* Notes */

{{factions|decepticon}}
:''Octus is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:FallAndRiseOctus01.jpg|right|thumb|250px|All those arms, yet he's still too lazy to pour oil in his cup.]]

'''Octus''' is a member of the ruling [[Triumverate]] who seized control of the Decepticons after the (second) death of [[Straxus]]. He is arrogant, lazy, and believes in a rather complacent method of Decepticon rule on Cybertron. Still, he can be pretty funny when he's poking fun at [[Megatron (G1)|other Decepticon leaders]].

==Fiction==
===Marvel UK comics continuity===
An unspecified amount of time after the (second) death of Straxus, a triumvirate of Decepticons, ingeniously calling themselves the Triumverate, came to power as the new rulers of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. [[Legonis]], Octus and [[Seizer]] ruled together from their palace at the city [[Helex]], sharing a three-seater throne. Octus had the center seat.

As rulers of Cybertron, the Triumverate were too lazy for active aggression against the [[Autobot]]s. Instead they spent their time enjoying arena fights between Autobot prisoners and powerful Decepticon warriors (such as [[Quake (G1)|Quake]]), even contemplating pitting Decepticon against Decepticon should they run out of prisoners, rather than going out to get more.

[[Image:FallAndRiseTriumvirateHeads.jpg|left|250px|thumb|But seriously, folks. EXTERMINATE HIM!]]

When Straxus-[[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] (it's complicated) arrived on Cybertron with [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] in tow, he was horrified with the state of things and challenged the Triumverate's rule. Octus baited Megatron, calling him the Decepticon cause's "most celebrated LOONY!"

Legonis shoved Megatron into the area (of the arena), where cannon-boy bashed up a few Decepticons (including Quake, the schmuck) before making a speech about Decepticon values. Realising that they hated not going out and killing Autobots, the Decepticons turned on the Triumverate for being lazy bozos.

The [[Triggercon]]s shot the Triumverate in the backs, killing them. Octus was blasted by [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]], blowing his head off. {{storylink|The Fall and Rise of the Decepticon Empire}}
{{-}}

==Notes==
* Octus (Octavius), Legonis (Lepidus) and Seizer (Caesar) were a parody of (or perhaps tribute to) the ruling Triumvirate of Rome after the death of Julius Caesar.

* Octus is pretty unique in form as a Transformer. He has a six-armed robot mode and transforms into... well, actually he never transforms in the fiction, but according to his co-creator [[Lee Sullivan]] his alt mode is based on a pre-existing design. Sullivan had this to say in an email to the Obscure Transformers website:

::"Thought you might like to know that one of the Tri... whatevers I designed (Oct-something-or-other) was supposed to transform (snik-snork-shnap-shnoop) into one of [[Wikipedia:Doctor Who|''Doctor Who'']]'s [[wikia:tardis:Dalek|Dalek]]s, which I've also been known to draw from time to time."

Death's Head (G1)

2009-07-06T23:17:34Z

24.201.123.82: /* External Trivia */

{{factions|unicron}}
:''Death's Head is a not-bounty hunter in the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Deathshead113heardofme.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Said I was handsome, right?]]

Hrn. '''Death's Head''' is the name. I'm a "Freelance Peacekeeping Agent". Some call me a "bounty hunter", but never twice, yes? Handsome, resourceful, deadly—all words used to describe me. Modest too, eh? In the past I've been accused of ending statements as questions.<ref>This happened in an interview with Death's Head and Simon Furman(!) in issue 13 of ''Strip Magazine''. (As in "Comic Strip Magazine"—sheesh, get your minds out of the gutter.)</ref> Never could understand why, right?

Learned a long time ago that if a mechanoid is to survive in this life, you've got to respect the economy. Money is everything. Still, it's also nice to enjoy one's job, yes? Use a wide range of weapons, most of which (unlike my plasma rifle) I can use in place of my right hand. Missiles, titanium shott blaster—but sometimes it's just more satisfying to use a good old-fashioned axe, hrn?

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics UK continuity===
[[Image:Deathshead113bartab.jpg|left|180px|thumb|One must always settle one's tab, eh?]]

First got involved with the Transformers on Elpasos, around Earthdate 2007, yes? Mission 531, according to my log. Was just picking up some oil when I noticed a bounty on the head of some mechanoid named [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. Bartender filled me in on the details. An Autobot named [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]]<ref>Death's Head never met Optimus Prime, so Rodimus Prime is '''his''' Prime.</ref> had put a 10,000-[[Shanix]] reward on the Decepticon's head. Lot of money, hrm? So I settled my account with the bar and went after the two Decepticons most likely to know Galvatron's whereabouts—his lieutenants, [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]].

Scourge quickly learned he shouldn't call me a bounty hunter, thanks to my plasma rifle.

Cyclonus decided he'd rather talk and told me where to find Galvatron. Wasn't long before I was using the Decepticon leader's time travel platform to transport myself to 1987, eh? Time jump-displaced [[First Aid (G1)|some Autobot]] to limbo during the [[Mass substitution|mass exchange]]. Also had to destroy his [[Bumblebee (G1)|companion.]] Didn't want any witnesses at that stage, right? {{storylink|Wanted:Galvatron — Dead or Alive!}}

Information is always the first key to a mission. Knew '''when''' Galvatron was, needed to find out where. Who better than the local Decepticons? Gambled they'd be keeping track of a... hrn... loose cannon. Ambushed [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] and beat the information out of him—had to down his [[Laserbeak (G1)|pet bird]] in the process. Good times, yes?

Should have known it wouldn't last, right?

[[Image:Deathshead117laserbash.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Ahh, yes, definitely good times.]]

When I found Galvatron, he was in the throes of battle with Rodimus Prime. Hrn, hate it when a client decides he can do the job himself, eh? Usually means they don't intend to pay. Bad form, if you ask me. Allowed my annoyance with Prime to distract me—that let Galvatron blast me with his particle cannon. Sloppy. Had to retreat and make repairs. Cost me some precious time. {{storylink|Hunters}}

Still, some things never change—when I returned, Galvatron and Prime were at it again.<ref>Though Ultra Magnus and Death's Head were both big players in this ongoing arc, they never met. Instead, every time DH saw Galvatron, he was fighting Rodimus Prime. The closest Magnus and DH came to meeting was when the Freelance Peacekeeping Agent passed by Magnus's unconscious body during his initial retreat.</ref> Luckily Prime wasn't doing very well, so I finally had my chance against Galvatron, eh? Had better fights. Lost a very nice mace, then an arm to which I was particularly attached. Then [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] triggered a time jump, sending us all back to 2007, all except Galvatron. Turned out the Decepticon leader had prepared for such an eventuality and rigged his time jump trigger device so he couldn't be sent back forcibly.

[[Image:Deathshead120armless.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Ouch, yes?]]

Typical, yes? Would have simply extracted my lost fee from Rodimus Prime's hide then and there, if not for the garrison of Autobots waiting for us at the other end of the time jump. {{storylink|Fire on High!}}

Next time I dealt with the Transformers, I was working out of Scarvix. Some stinky little peon named [[Blot]] walked into my office with an offer. Name couldn't have suited him better, eh? Still, his offer was enticing—10,000 Shanix to kill Rodimus Prime. Jumped at the chance. Revenge doesn't pay the bills, but it's a satisfying fringe benefit, yes?

Decepticons gave me free passage to Cybertron and pointed me in the right direction. What I didn't know at the time was that Decepticon commander [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] was using me, right? I attacked Prime in one of his trenches and was moments from the killing blow, when the ground collapsed underneath us. Ended up in the sewers, yes? Hrn, worse than that, lost my trusty axe in the fall. Frustrating, right?

Still, titanium shott blaster would have done just as well, except moments before I could kill Prime, I was shot in the back by Scourge. Told you Shockwave was using me, eh? He tricked Cyclonus and Scourge into going after Prime too, hoping I'd eliminate them as well. And for free!

Shield took the brunt of the blow. Still, Prime got away in the process. Pursued him up a ladder, only to find he'd led me straight into Autobase, eh? Hate how he always does that. On the other hand, got to love his business acumen. Rather than throw me out, he sent me off with 10,000 Shanix in advance and a contract to kill Cyclonus and Scourge.<ref>This is the only time that Death's Head actually made any money in his dealings with the Transformers.</ref> {{storylink|Headhunt}}

[[Image:Deathshead150unicronsmind.jpg|right|100px|thumb|Not good times, right?]]

Caught up with Cyclonus and Scourge New Year's Day, Earth Year 2008. Hrn. The events that followed were not pleasant, right? So much killing, for absolutely no profit.

[[Junk]] was under the thrall of a giant head calling itself [[Unicron]]. The Junkions were busy trying to build their planet into Unicron's new body. Worse still, Unicron put Cyclonus, Scourge and myself under his thrall. Stopped me completing my contract, huh? Yes, those were unpleasant times. Unicron used me to kill the Decepticon leader at the time, Shockwave, and put Cyclonus and Scourge in charge as the new leaders of the Decepticons. Distasteful work, killing without profit. Especially against a foe who deserved better, right?

[[Image:Deathshead151portaldash.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Last time I had to deal with any Transformers, hrn?]]

Unicron was playing all the angles—had Cyclonus and Scourge start a campaign against the Autobots that neither side could win, huh? Even had the Junkions build a giant time portal so he'd be able to fetch Galvatron from the past to tie up that loose end.

The mental power of Unicron was incredible, yes? Once I was back on Junk, I was forced to fight Wreck-Gar. Have no particular liking for the Junkion—he's cost me my fee in the past—but I defied Unicron and allowed Wreck-Gar to escape. Punishment followed...but still, it was a small victory, eh?

Also realised a weakness in Unicron's control: The mind link he used to control me was a two-way street. Destroyed a couple of his Junkion stooges, forcing him to punish me and establish the link. This allowed an attack on the astral plane, psychically assaulting him. At the time, I thought that would even the odds. After all, he's just a big robot, right?

Hrn.

Sometimes even I can be a little bit wrong, yes?

Unicron's mind was unfathomable. Impossible to describe it—an infinite swirling miasma of...hrn, I'm not a poet, I'm a hired killer, right? Suffice to say, trying to comprehend him on the astral plane, let alone battle him, was beyond even my abilities. Unicron revealed the reason for it, too—turns out he was a '''dark god of chaos''' bent on destroying the entire universe. Some vendetta with the Transformers' planet or something. Which is why he's afraid of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]], eh? No, I don't understand it either, and I was '''in''' Unicron's mind.

Still, the net result is that when Rodimus Prime attacked, we joined forces. Used the mindlink to let Prime attack Unicron directly—and shortly after that, I discovered that Wreck-Gar had planted enough explosives under Unicron to destroy him. Dark god or not, I knew he was finished. So did he, so he recalled Cyclonus and Scourge from Cybertron, and I saw a chance to complete my most recent contract, yes?

Only problem was that the explosives started a little sooner than expected, so I grabbed Cyclonus and Scourge and dived through the time portal with them. Kill them another time, hrn? Too bad it didn't work out that way. No idea what happened to Cyclonus and Scourge, but I ended up careening through the time vortex. Still, it had one advantage. Never had to deal with Transformers again, yes? {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}}

[[Image:Deathshead151matrixholder.jpg|center|350px|thumb|Hrn. Haven't really got the hang of these funny captions on this wiki. Can't think of anything amusing to say here, yes?]]

==Transformers Trivia==

Ahhh, my time with the Transformers, eh? Here's a few juicy tidbits about my relationship with them.

*Turns out I was the centre of a difference between the Transformers reality chronicled by Marvel US and the reality chronicled by Marvel UK. Hrn. Alternate realities can be a pain. There was an Autobot who was always destined to die and be reborn as a mechanoid named [[Bumblebee (G1)|Goldbug]]. In one reality, he was killed by some human team called [[G.I. Joe]]. In the much more interesting timeline I was a part of, it was I who killed him. Clearly, this was the superior timeline, in that case, right?
*When fighting Transformers, I recommend a swift strike to the neural cluster, eh? Weakest spot on any mechanoid from Cybertron.<ref>Death's Head tried to deliver just such a blow to Galvatron, only to have his mace blasted to atoms before he could do it.</ref>
*When I killed Shockwave, I did a thorough job. Even if I wasn't getting paid, huh? Transformers' brains are the key to their life—at least in the timeline I visited. Shockwave's was particularly large for a Transformer, but I still crushed it between thumb and forefinger, yes?
*Including Shockwave, killed only five Transformers in all my dealings with them, eh?
*Only ever got paid once by any Transformer, and I never finished that contract. Hrn. Dealing with them was a nightmare, right?

==External Trivia==

[[Image:Deathshead113timejump.jpg|right|180px|thumb|My first time jump. Who knew what I was getting myself into?]]

Hrm. What else to tell you about myself? So much of it has nothing to do with the Transformers, right? That's why I've separated it off into this additional segment.

*Was years later, give or take—it's tricky to judge actually when there's so much time travel involved—that I discovered my origin. Turns out I was originally built as a new body for some other-dimensional wizard named Lupex, right? His consort, Pyra, gave me a personality, so I'd kill Lupex. Parents. Typical, eh?
*Unicron's time gate left me flying through the [[wikia:tardis:Time_Vortex|time vortex]] where I bumped, quite literally, into a miscreant being calling itself the [[wikia:tardis:Seventh Doctor|the Doctor]]. Had a few encounters with him: First he shrank me to human size, then he transported me to 8162 in a timeline without Transformers. Not all bad, right? More frustrating when he later dumped me on the roof of the Baxter Building.
*The [[Fantastic Four]] were just the first super heroes I met, eh? Iron Man 2020, She-Hulk, [[Thor]], even the original [[Iron Man]]. Met 'em all, right?
*Hrn. Then there's the matter of that possible future (well, relatively speaking for a time traveller such as myself, right?) where I take over the body of the AIM-created monstrosity ''Minion'', becoming the cyborg some have dubbed Death's Head II. Let's...not talk of that further, eh?
*There's another possible future where I kill Minion and don't die myself. Much prefer that one, right?<ref>In ''What If?'' Volume 2, issue 54. The last Death's Head collaboration between Simon Furman and Geoff Senior, his creators. This is also the only Death's Head appearance where he uses his face tusks in battle.</ref>
*As to the comic books which have chronicled my exploits, nearly all my tales had been recounted by [[Simon Furman]], until his untimely death,<ref>Remember that interview we told you about? When both Furman and the interviewer stopped listening to DH, he killed Simon Furman, effectively ending the interview. We can only assume that the Simon Furman seen since that time is actually some sort of [[Cloning|clone]] or [[Facsimile Construct|facsimile construct]].</ref> and the first artist to draw me was [[Geoff Senior]]. Marvel liked me so much that they published a one-page story about me (drawn by some fleshling named [[Bryan Hitch]]) in various Marvel mags to prevent Hasbro from securing the rights to my adventures. Have to admire that kind of mercenary cunning, right?
*There's reportedly a third creature called Death's Head out there. Hrn, they were a legion of alien robots that bothered the [[Hulk|Incredible Hulk]] on the planet Sakaar. On an alternate future Earth, one of these robots was bonded to a synthetic duplicate of the sentient energy-force known as the Uni-Power—he was Death's Head 3.0. Reportedly, he also understood the importance of freelance peacekeeping, yes? Apparently, his adventures were also penned by the fleshling known as Furman.
