[[Image:G1 RedAlert profileart1.jpg|right|350px|thumb|I am head of security around—WHAT WAS THAT!? OH, DEAR GOD, THEY'RE OUT TO GET ME!!]]
'''Red Alert''' is paranoid, which is not a bad trait in a [[Security Director]] if it's kept in check by reason, logic, and common sense. Red Alert is... not always so good with those other traits. The other Autobots appreciate his good intentions and eye for detail, but his ratio of false alarms to real emergencies is not always the greatest, and it makes them less likely to take him seriously when a threat is real. [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] does his best to keep his good buddy Red out of trouble.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Generation 1====
{{noteukonly}}
[[Image:Redalertfromnowhere.jpg|right|200px|thumb|What the—how did I get here?! Where am I?!]]
''When the Autobot warrior [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]] went on a temporarily mad rampage, Red Alert leapt out from nowhere to deck Brawn with one punch, and then vanished into the night as if he had never been there.'' {{storylink|The Enemy Within!}}

{{note|For some reason, Red Alert and Inferno were never given introductions along with the other [[Autobot Cars]] in the Marvel series. There was no explanation for his presence on Earth in the above story, and in response to a [[Letters page (Marvel UK)|reader's query]], [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] claimed that Red Alert was critically injured (off-panel) during "[[The Last Stand]]", which is set after the events of "The Enemy Within!".<ref>[http://transfans.co.uk/popup.php?id=601 Issue #62's Soundwaves at transfans.co.uk]</ref> The only other evidence of his existence was a mis-colored cameo on the cover of Marvel US #41, "[[Totaled!]]"}}

=====Marvel UK Future Timelines=====
''In 2009, Red Alert was one of the few Autobots available on Earth to help [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] assault the new energy leech being constructed by the Decepticons. After destroying the work [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] had done, Red Alert and the others were immediately drafted by [[Rodimus Prime (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] into leaping through the trans-time dimensional portal back to 1989. It seemed the extended time-jump of former Decepticon leader [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] was causing heavy stress on the timestream at both ends. 20 years in the past, Red Alert and his future Autobots joined forces with several different factions of Autobots and Decepticons on Earth to confront the menace of Galvatron and the resultant time storm. Red Alert took some flak from Galvatron's [[particle cannon]] during the battle, but ultimately the time storm was abated when Galvatron himself was cast into its maw, and the timestream restabilized itself. Red Alert, Rodimus and the other future Autobots then returned to their own time. {{storylink|Time Wars (issue)|Time Wars}}''

''Or did they? Upon returning to 2009, Red Alert and his comrades found Galvatron already there waiting for them. It seemed their actions in the past had reconstructed the timeline to such a degree that their present was now radically changed—Galvatron and his Decepticons now ruled Cybertron. The Autobots tried to adjust to these new events and created a token resistance movement on Cybertron, but it was soon crushed and they were chased off their home planet and back to Autobot City on Earth. During the trip, Red Alert was serving as chief bridge officer of [[Future Autobot evacuation ship|their starship]] when the Autobots were assaulted with sabotage. {{storylink|The Void! (UK)|The Void}} While Kup and a security team attempted to ferret out the traitor, Red Alert did his level best to keep the Autobots from crashing into Earth uncontrollably at sub-light speeds. Battered and bruised, most of the Autobots survived thanks to Arcee's efforts to reactivate the retro-rockets at the last minute. {{storylink|Edge of Impact}} They still had to face the saboteur, however: an insane Rodimus Prime, corrupted from within by the essence of [[Unicron]] that he had unknowingly been carrying inside himself. On the ground, Red Alert joined Kup, Arcee, and the others in fighting their mad leader, until ultimately Rodimus fought off the evil within and regained his senses. {{storylink|White Fire}}''

====Generation 2====
[[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] planned a raid on [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]'s ship ''[[Twilight (G2)|Twilight]]'' against [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s orders. Unfortunately, Jhiaxus was expecting this move and had Grimlock's troops surrounded. Red Alert attacked Jhiaxus anyhow, and was blown to pieces. Red Alert's death hinted to Grimlock that this may have been a bad idea. {{storylink|Devices and Desires! (Marvel)|Devices and Desires!}}

[[Image:AlertCowboy.jpg|left|200px|thumb|You're riding a horse! Did Megatron send you?!]]
Red Alert assisted Inferno when the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] accidentally set [[Ark (G1)|Autobot headquarters]] on fire. {{storylink|Dinobot Island, Part 1}} He and Inferno later helped [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] corral some motorcycle rustlers who got transported into the future by a time warp. {{storylink|Dinobot Island, Part 2}}

[[Image:AutoBerserk RedAlert accusation.jpg|right|200px|thumb|There's someone out there, watching me...]]
The Autobots were testing the powerful [[Negavator]] superweapon they had built in cooperation with the [[United States military]] when the Decepticons attacked, intent on stealing the weapon. [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] ordered Red Alert and Inferno to stay inside and guard the bunker as the rest of the Autobots took the fight to the Decepticons. Inferno chafed to fight the Decepticons and left Red on his own despite the latter's pleas for him to stay. During the battle, Decepticon attacks caused the bunker to catch fire and become damaged (much to [[Grapple]]'s dismay), knocking Red Alert on the head and burying him under rubble. Realizing what happened, Inferno and the other Autobots returned to rescue Red. Unfortunately, the blow to his head damaged Red's logic circuits, making him more paranoid than usual, and caused him to flee the other Autobots in fear that they would take him apart and use him for spare parts. He also became thoroughly convinced that his pal Inferno was after his job and so he escaped the Autobots. Red Alert's damage was such that if he was left untreated, his circuits would eventually explode, and so the Autobots immediately left to find him.

[[Image:AutoBerserk Inferno RedAlert friendship.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Images like this, and yet Tracks gets all the innuendo.]]
Meanwhile, [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] (who had been abandoned by the Decepticons on the battlefield by [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s order) witnessed this happening. He decided to use Red's paranoia to his own advantage by pretending to form a partnership with the Autobot, feeding his paranoid state, encouraging him to steal the Negavator and use it to destroy both the Autobots and Decepticons. With Red Alert's knowledge, the pair infiltrated the bunker and stole the Negavator, just in time for Megatron to seize the weapon and for Starscream to reveal his true cowardly ways. Fortunately, Inferno saved Red Alert from himself and his Decepticon 'allies'. {{storylink|Auto Berserk}}

After Megatron managed to frame the Autobots, the entire Autobot contingent, including Red Alert, were banished from Earth on a rocket supplied by [[Shawn Berger]]. {{storylink|Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1}} The ship was locked on course for the [[Sun]], but the Autobots managed to get clear and return to Earth with the help of [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] and [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]]'s force field. There they confronted and defeated the Decepticons, who had already been exposed. {{storylink|Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2}} Red Alert was on the squad that intercepted the Decepticons at a power plant, however during the fight, it became apparent that both sides were suffering strange malfunctions. The Autobots returned to base, where [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] worked out they were all suffering from [[Cybertonium]] depletion. {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1}} [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]], [[Carly]] and the Dinobots managed to get more Cybertonium from Cybertron, and the Autobots were all repaired. {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2}}

[[Image:BlasterBlues Red Alert Inferno on the road.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Why does that fire engine keep following me?!]]
When Megatron used the [[Voltronic Galaxer]] to block Earth's radio transmissions, the survivors of a train crash were unable to radio the fire service. Luckily Red Alert and Inferno were patrolling in the area and spotted the fire. Red Alert created a fire break with his gun while Inferno attacked the main part of the fire, and eventually it was out. Red Alert's sensors still tingled though, alerting them to an incoming attack by Thundercracker and Ramjet. {{storylink|Blaster Blues}}

[[Image:GodGambit Red Alert Optimus don't go.jpg|thumb|left|200px|No! Don't leave me on my own! They'll get me!]]
Once, [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] radioed in to [[Teletraan I (G1)|Teletraan I]] to inform the Autobots he had uncovered data on a new source of energy upon [[Saturn]]'s moon of [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], but was under heavy fire from [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]. Optimus Prime began to order Cosmos to transmit the data, but Red Alert overruled his commander, saying it was too risky as the Decepticons might monitor and intercept the transmission. Prime acknowledged Red's caution, and instead sent a team of Autobots out aboard [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] to meet Cosmos. {{storylink|The God Gambit}}

Red Alert helped coat the [[Statue of Liberty]] in [[Corrostop]], Perceptor's latest invention. Unfortunately while they were doing so, the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] cruised up and kidnapped Perceptor. Great security work there, Red. He and the rest of the Autobots were infected with [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust]] by the Decepticons, and it was only some clever work by Perceptor that saved them. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}} As the Earth moved closer and closer to the Sun as part of a [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]] plan, Red Alert and Inferno fought to extinguish the many fires that started as a result, though they found that once put out, the fires would promptly start again. {{storylink|The Revenge of Bruticus}}

{{note|The original storyboards for [[The Transformers: The Movie]] depict a death scene for Red Alert which was not included in the finished film. Red meets his end as [[:Image:TFTM-RedAlertDown.jpg|he is shot in the back]] by the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]s after helping [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]], [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] attack [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. Once again, the illuminati try to cover up his death.}}

====Japanese cartoon continuity====
=====''The Headmasters'' cartoon=====
[[Image:JHeadmasters01RedAlertEtc.jpg|thumb|To battle, brothers! Wait, since when do [[#Notes|I have brothers?]]]]
Some time before the Transformers' war left Cybertron, Red Alert engaged the Decepticons with his comrades. Later, on Earth, Red Alert was present for a suspiciously similar battle with the Decepticons that resulted in the death of Optimus Prime. In 2011, [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] recalled the Cybertronian skirmish that Red Alert took part in — or another one very much like it. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}}

{{note|Red Alert appears in two Cybertronian flashback battles within the episode, alongside the same team of Autobots, suggesting that they represent the same fight. He also appears in one further flashback battle on Earth, which depicts Optimus Prime's death in a scene that doesn't match up to his ''actual'' death in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. This was a continuity patch-job by the ''Headmasters'' production staff, as the movie hadn't been released in Japan yet. }}

{{note|The character also featured in the ''[[Transformers 2010 (franchise)|Transformers 2010]]'' [[title sequence]], despite not appearing in any of the episodes themselves.}}

=====''Asterisk Story''=====
[[Image:AiAlert-Story.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Big scary bot-man will eat me!]]

As a member of Officer [[Clamp Down]]'s [[Interplanetary Personnel Exchange Program]], Red Alert was paired with Officer [[Ai Kuruma]] to promote goodwill and cooperation between the races.

After shooing the kitty [[Chear]] off of him, Officer Kuruma received a call about a little boy who'd gotten lost on his way to the market. Ai (dreaming of a commendation for finding the boy) followed the sound of crying, only to find it was Chear again, up in a tree. She climbed up the tree to rescue it, but fell from the high branches... but Red Alert caught her and the cat in time.

The cat scampered off, and the pair followed him...and ran across the lost little boy. But then Chear stole a fish from the boy's grocery bag. Red Alert set his detector from "little boy" to "fish", and the two gave chase... {{storylink|The Cat and the Medal}}

=====e-Hobby storyline=====

Red Alert disappeared after the [[Unicron War]], his fate unknown to his Autobot comrades, but he later returned to them a changed 'bot: in his absence, his life had been saved by a Decepticon. With the realization that not all Decepticons were without compassion, Red Alert's paranoid personality underwent a transformation, and he became far less aggressive in battle, prompting strategies of defensive engagement. He went on to train younger security officers for the Autobots, showing a new, caring side that made him a well-liked member of the team. {{storylink|#G1toy|e-Hobby Red Alert bio}}
{{-}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
Red Alert was serving the Autobot cause in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] when [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] was destroyed, and Optronix first rose to become Optimus Prime at the request of [[Council of Ancients]]. When the [[Forum of Enlightenment]] suddenly went up in flames, he came with Optimus, [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] to investigate the ruins. {{storylink|The War Within issue 2|The War Within #2}} After Optimus and Megatron disappeared through a [[space bridge]] portal and the [[Dark Ages]] began, Red Alert presumably become one of the Autobot soldiers serving in Prowl's faction. {{storylink|War Within: The Dark Ages}}

After the [[Great Shutdown]], Red Alert was one of the first Autobots resurrected by the new alliance of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], and was chosen to lead the united Cybertronians alongside Shockwave and an [[Autobot High Council]]. {{storylink|Cold War (issue)|Cold War}} The council proved incapable of adequately leading on their own, though, and began gradually giving more and more power to Shockwave over time, until their role was as little more than figureheads. Ultimately, it took the arrival of Optimus Prime and the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'s crew to galvanize the Autobot forces of Cybertron into realizing just how badly they'd been had by the Decepticons. Red Alert and the council finally joined in the insurrection and helped bring down Shockwave's empire. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}

Red Alert was seen tutoring several new Autobot cadets in combat as Cybertron settled down after the uprising. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}} He was last seen among the Autobots who traveled to Earth to work on the construction of the new [[Autobot City]]. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

{{note|Red Alert is one of the larger continuity errors in [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]]'s Generation One series. Several characters were shown in the first limited series, [[Prime Directive]], who were later addressed in the continuity as definitively NOT having been part of the Ark or ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' crews. Unlike the one panel cameos of bots like [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] or [[Kickback (G1)|Kickback]], however, Red Alert was shown as fully active and interacting with his fellow Autobots on Earth, only to be assertively stated as having always been on Cybertron in the next limited series.}}

===Redemption Center===
While Ratchet and Wheeljack worked to repair Starscream, Red Alert handled the security arrangements. He did sound an alarm when the Decepticons turned up later to try to reclaim their comrade, but that was about it. {{storylink|Redemption Center}}

===IDW comics continuity===
Red Alert was a member of the Autobot Security Services in [[Kaon]], under [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]]'s command. The Security Services were investigating the rise of the violent [[Gladiatorial combat|illegal bloodsport]], led by the combatant known as Megatron. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}}

On Earth centuries later, Red Alert joined [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] as they attempted to find a way off world. Following an "attack" by [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]]'s team of Decepticons, he was very much against any attempt at negotiation. {{storylink|New Arrivals, Old Encounters}} However, Hot Rod decided that they needed all the help they could get in getting off Earth, and let the Decepticons join them. Red Alert grumbled about this alongside [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]]. {{storylink|A Rude Awakening}} Red Alert was working on their rocket when [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] turned up to investigate [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]'s death. {{Storylink|Seasons in Flight}}

While Red Alert's suspicions were proven correct when Swindle betrayed the Autobots, they managed to defeat him and [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] thanks to the return of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. Red Alert was hoping that he would retake his place as leader of the Autobots, but Prime told him that they couldn't return to how things used to be, and that [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] was their leader now. {{storylink|Earthworks}} Later, he wasn't one of the Autobots picked for the mission to stop the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] in [[North Korea]], and ended up relaxing in a [[Skywatch]] hangar with [[Bluestreak (G1)|Silverstreak]] and a glass of energy instead. {{storylink|International Incident Part 3: "Hawk Among the Sparrows"}}

When the Decepticons showed up and devastated the Skywatch base a day or two later, Red Alert apparently went off and rejoined the North Korea team, who had recently returned to the United States. The Autobots rolled out to confront Megatron near [[Albuquerque]], but Optimus Prime ordered them to stay back while he went ahead alone to confirm what was going on. {{storylink|Revenge of the Decepticons Part 4: Burning Chrome}}

Red Alert was one of the many Autobots who boarded [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] to return to Cybertron and vanquish [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]]'s [[Bob (IDW)|pet]] made him uneasy. {{storylink|Space Opera—Final Tableaux: Orphans of the Helix}}

===''Henkei! Henkei!'' pack-in comic===
[[Image:Henkei_henkei_vol12_red_alert.jpg‎|left|200px|thumb|The 12-step assertiveness training really paid off.]]
Red Alert and [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]] eavesdropped on [[Octane]]'s plan to impress [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]. When they revealed themselves, Octane fled, but the duo chased him across the desert. Red Alert was temporarily blinded when Smokescreen forgot that Octane could fly and had attempted to stop the [[Triple Changer]] with his trademark cloud of magnetized smoke. Thinking himself free of pursuit, Octane began to implement his plan and indulged in a bit of daydreaming. However, he was interrupted when Red Alert and Smokescreen again appeared, revealing that they were able to follow him using Red Alert's enhanced sensors. This caused Cyclonus to conclude that the Decepticon forces did not require Octane's talents, and he left to report Octane's incompetence to Megatron. Red Alert cracked his knuckles while leering at the abandoned Octane, implying that when they were finished with him, Octane would no longer be in mint condition. {{storylink|Henkei! Henkei! volume 12}}

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''05'''
**''Accessories:'' "High-Energy Particle Beam Rifle", Shoulder-Mounted Rocket Launcher, 3 rockets

: Transforming into a [[Wikipedia:Lamborghini Countach|Lamborghini Countach]] [[Wikipedia:Fire chief's vehicle|fire chief's car]], Red Alert's toy is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' "New Countach LP500S Police Car", which was a [[retool]] that added roof lights to the original Diaclone "New Countach LP500S", which was the mold used to make [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]]. Red Alert's [[alternate mode]] is a perfect disguise, since many Fire Departments have Lamborghinis as auxiliary vehicles.

: Red Alert saw the first of many reissues in early 2001. As part of [[Takara]]'s "[[Collector's Edition]]" series of reissues that saw several pairs of "mold-mates" released together in limited numbers, Alert and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Lambor]] were available as "Set A" at [http://www.wcc-jp.com/ World Character Convention] 12<ref name="moc">[http://megatronofcybertron.homestead.com/japanesereissues.html Japanese Reissues & eHobby exclusives]</ref> For 2002, Alert was again released with Lambor, this time as "New Year Special" editions available through Takara's [[e-Hobby]] online shop. [[Hasbro]] reissued Red by himself as part of [[Commemorative Series]] IV, available at US Toys "R" Us stores in 2003.

: Red Alert's mold was also used to make [[Clamp Down]], who was an homage to the mold's original police deco. Sans roof lights, the Lamborghini mold was also used for [[Deep Cover]], [[Tigertrack]], and ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Sideswipe.

: Once again a retool of a Sideswipe, ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' Alert was part of the second wave of the line. Like all of ''Smallest Transforming Transformers'', Alert was a tiny, simplified version of his original appearance, with limited articulation and non-rolling wheels.

* '''Alert Meets Ai''' (Autobot, 2005)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''BTA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Intercooler/blaster

: The first release in the ''Asterisk'' sub-line of ''[[Binaltech]]'', Alert is a [[retool]] of the ''Binaltech'' [[Bluestreak (G1)|Streak]] mold as a Subaru WRX STi [[wikipedia:Police system of Japan|Japanese Police]] vehicle, a scheme that many fans expected for a ''Binaltech''/''[[Alternators]]'' [[Prowl (G1)/toys|Prowl]] (see [[#Notes|Notes]] below). Although not a Fire Department vehicle this time, the toy's robot mode did feature many red highlights, including a red head, but as the headsculpt was unchanged, he still looked like Streak. BTA Alert was packaged with the PVC human figurine [[Ai Kuruma]], a policewoman based on ''[[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[T-AI]].

: Alert's release had problems with parts-fitting in vehicle mode, possibly a sign that the Subaru WRX tooling was showing its age. The later release of this mold as [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Ricochet]] in the ''Alternators'' line, though, does not have these problems.

*'''Alert''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-20'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun/tailpipe

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Alert is a retool of ''Universe'' [[Sideswipe (G1)#Universe (2008)|Sideswipe]], itself a retool of ''Universe'' [[Sunstreaker (G1)#Universe (2008)|Sunstreaker]], transforming into a modified [[wikipedia:Lamborghini_Gallardo|Lamborghini Gallardo]]. Though the car is mostly based upon the Gallardo, to avoid legal problems, it also features modified headlights and elements taken from other cars—most of them are taken from other Lamborghini models, such as a rear end that is basically a cross between a [[wikipedia:Lamborghini Murciélago|Murciélago]] and a [[wikipedia:Lamborghini_Diablo|Diablo]]; however, the split side windows and the ridges on the door vents are based on a [[wikipedia:McLaren F1|McLaren F1]].

: Alert's vehicle mode features the same Japanese-style lightbar as ''Henkei! Henkei!'' [[Ratchet (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|Ratchet]], attached to the additional indents on the roof that were ''not'' used to attach Sunstreaker and Sideswipe's supercharger intake accessories in either mode. Like all ''Henkei! Henkei!'' toys, he features [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] plastic, including his shoulder rocket launcher and his spoiler. Like ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Lambor, he doesn't come with the supercharger accessory (which ''Universe'' Sideswipe still had).

===Generations===

*'''Red Alert''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Pulse pistol/tailpipe, engine supercharger intakes

:''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Red Alert is a retool of Universe Sideswipe. To differentiate him from the ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Alert release of this character, he features a significantly different deco (including a black head like the ''Generation 1'' toy, as opposed to the ''Henkei'' version's [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] red head), the American-style lightbar previously used for ''Universe'' [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Prowl]] and [[Ratchet (G1)#Universe (2008)|Ratchet]], and, as with all [[Hasbro]] releases of this sculpt, the engine supercharger intakes accessory that originally came with Sunstreaker.

: Unlike ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Alert, whose lightbar is attached to the additional indents on the roof ''not'' used for attaching Sunstreaker or Sideswipe's supercharger intake accessory in either mode, ''Generations'' Red Alert's lightbar is instead attached to the indents used to attach the supercharger to Sideswipe's roof/back in robot mode (possibly so Red Alert could still have his supercharger in vehicle mode), with the roof retooled so the lightbar is fixed with screws, thereby rendering the additional indents entirely pointless as far as Hasbro's uses of the sculpt are concerned. Because this makes attaching the supercharger to the back in robot mode impossible, the [[instructions]] show how to attach the supercharger to the gun to create a larger gun by wrapping the intakes around it, which neither Sunstreaker nor Sideswipe's instructions had shown, probably because it's a pretty loose configuration. And while his instructions finally depict the correct transformation with the upper body rotation and the correct head sculpt (the lineart for ''Universe'' Sideswipe's instructions was simply recycled from Sunstreaker's), they do ''not'' depict the lightbar.

:His [[license plate]] features the number "05" (''Generation 1'' Red Alert's [[Japanese ID number list|Japanese ID number]]) and the character's Japanese name, "Alert".

**''Decoy number:'' '''16'''

: The figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number. Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/1986/Autobot/Decoys/RedAlert/redalert.htm More information on Decoy Red Alert at TFU.info]''

==Notes==
* Voice actor Michael Chain has stated that he based his characterization of Red Alert on former [[President of the United States|U.S. President]] [[wikipedia:Richard_Nixon|Richard Nixon]], a man so incredibly paranoid that he kept secret audio recordings of ''himself''.

* Red Alert appeared in one of five original Generation 1 [[public service announcements]]. After nearly mowing down a pair of kids on bikes, Red Alert scolded them and told them to never ride at night without reflectors. However, Red Alert was shown driving at night without his headlights on, so that probably didn't help.

* Although the first year of the Transformers line in Japan consisted of both 1984 ''and'' 1985 toys, Red Alert just managed to pip most of the U.S. 1985 range to the post by being released in tandem with [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] as one of the initial releases. Early [[TV Magazine]] art ostensibly featuring the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Season One]] cast even specifically includes Red Alert among the 1984 Autobots.<ref>http://tfarchive.com/comics/japanese/superrobotlife.php?dgallery_show=superrobotlife/SRLcastpage2.jpg</ref>

* Red Alert's [[character model]] is, for the most part, more toy accurate than Sideswipe's, as the '85 characters tended to be. The big change is that instead of a windshield on his back (like Sideswipe), Red Alert has the top of his trunk (including spoiler!).

* According to a [[story page]] in the October 1985 issue of ''[[TV Magazine]]'', Red Alert and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] are brothers, with Sideswipe being slightly older than Red Alert. This connection may have been invented because, aside from Sideswipe and Red Alert sharing the same mold, Sunstreaker was not sold in the Japanese market outside of a special "versus" set with [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] and [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]]. However, the familial dynamic between Sideswipe and Sunstreaker was '''not''' changed in the Japanese dub of the original ''Transformers'' cartoon, leading some Japanese fans to consider the three Lamborghini characters as triplets.

*[[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] [[Siren]] was originally conceived as either an upgrade or homage to Red Alert.<ref>[[Transformers Generations Deluxe]], p108</ref> While the robot mode was largely blue unlike Red Alert, it featured a similar head to the early Autobot. The car mode, on the other hand, featured a near carbon copy of Red Alert's paint scheme. The Red Alert references were dropped early in the design process.

* In the Dreamwave Generation One comics,{{fact|Volume? Issue number? Page number?}} when showing the panel through the eyes of many Cybertronians, Autobot and Decepticon alike, twisted text along the side of the shot, oftentimes reversed or flipped around, would read "The More Than Meets The Eye Transformer Red Alert". While other messages were often used, sometimes as Easter Eggs, this was the most popular. The Girl Scouts must have been planning this for years.

[[Image:Universe2003toy-InfernoDeluxe.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Psych! I'm actually Inferno!]]
* The color schemes for ''[[Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] and Spy Changer [[Prowl (Spychanger)|Prowl]] are clearly based on Red Alert's ''Generation 1'' look. Inferno in particular caused a great deal of fan confusion when first released; here was a toy named Inferno, decorated like Red Alert, released alongside a toy named [[Ratchet (Universe)|Ratchet]], decorated like [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]]. [[Hasbro]] design director [[Aaron Archer]] (in his online "Orson" persona) disclosed that this was the result of a mistake in the naming process.

* The Acura RSX ''[[Alternators]]'' [[Prowl (G1)/toys|Prowl]] toy was originally supposed to be Red Alert, with a different head sculpt. Eventually, however, it was decided to release the toy as Prowl instead, even though the Subaru Impreza model had more resemblance to Prowl and the Acura RSX model had more resemblance to Red Alert. Control drawings of the figure with the originally intended Red Alert head sculpt can be found in the Japanese ''[[Transformers Collection 2007]]'' book, among other places. [http://www.reprolabels.com Reprolabels] later made sticker sheets that, together with a head swap (which can be done with ease) allow you to convert the Subaru into Prowl and the Acura into Red Alert, making them resemble their original forms much more closely. At one point, Hasbro's website briefly listed a second Prowl (because he shipped in two different assortments, the two versions counted as two different products distribution-wise) as "Red Alert". Coupled with the lack of photos, this led fans to (incorrently) assume an upcoming redeco. The listing was soon corrected to "Prowl", coupled with appropriate [[stock photography|product photos]].

* Make a joke and he will sigh and you will laugh and he will cry.

License plate

2011-10-19T00:30:51Z

58.69.198.148: /* Toys */

A '''license plate''', officially a '''vehicle registration plate''', also called a '''number plate''' or a '''vanity plate''' when personalized, is a metal plate attached to an [[Earth]] vehicle, usually a car, a truck or a motorcycle, that contains a unique registration ID with an official authority within the country the vehicle is operating in. It typically consists of numbers, letters or a combination of both. Some countries require license plates for the front and rear bumper of a car, while others (such as the USA) only require a rear license plate. In real life, the options of personalization differ a lot from country to country.

Since a lot of [[Transformer]]s use Earth vehicles as their [[alternate mode]]s, they often also sport a license plate as part of their disguise. Sometimes the license plates reveal the [[character]]'s name, sometimes they contain a coded message, and sometimes they are just random numbers and letters.

==Toys==
===[[Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]===
*[[Smokescreen (G1)#Alternators/Binaltech|Smokescreen]] has "'''S30WRT'''" for the ''Alternators'' version and the "#8" [[variant]] of the ''Binaltech'' version and "'''S40WRT'''" for the "#7" variant of the ''Binaltech'' version. Both were the authentic license plates used by the real-life Subaru Impreza WRC cars during the 2003 Rallye Monte Carlo.
*Likewise, the ''Binaltech''-only [[retool]] Smokescreen GT comes with the license plates "'''OT53 SRT'''" for the "#1" variant and "'''CT53 SRT'''" for the "#2" variant. Again, both were the authentic license plates used by the real-life Subaru Impreza WRC cars during the 2004 Corona Rally Mexico.
*Both ''Alternators'' [[Sideswipe (G1)#Alternators|Side Swipe]] and ''Binaltech'' Lambor have a rear license plate sporting an abbreviated form of the character's US name with an Autobot [[insignia|logo]] in the middle, "'''SIDE [[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] SWP'''".
*''Alternators'' [[Bluestreak (G1)#Alternators|Silverstreak]] and ''Binaltech'' Streak both have two license plates, with the front one only sporting an Autobot logo, [[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]], and the rear one sporting an abbreviated form of the character's then US name with an Autobot logo in the middle, "'''SLV [[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] STRK'''".
*Both versions of [[Hound (G1)#Alternators|Hound]] only sported a license plate with an Autobot logo, [[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]], on the front bumper.
*Both versions of [[Dead End (G1)#Alternators|Dead End]] feature a rear license plate sporting his name with a Decepticon logo in the middle, "'''DEAD [[Image:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]] END'''".
*''Alternators'' [[trademark|Autobot]] [[Tracks (G1)#Alternators|Tracks]] and both the yellow and blue variants of ''Binaltech'' Tracks simply sport an Autobot logo, [[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]], on the rear license plate.
*All versions of [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Meister]], including the ''Binaltech''-only red version (aka "[[Zoom-Zoom]]"), feature a rear license plate that contains an Autobot logo followed by his name, "'''[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] MEISTER'''".
*Similar to his [[mold]]-mate Hound, both versions of [[Swindle (G1)#Alternators|Swindle]] only feature a front license plate sporting a lone Decepticon symbol, [[Image:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]].
*Both versions of [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Alternators|Grimlock]] feature a rear license plate sporting an Autobot logo followed by his name, "'''[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] GRIMLOCK'''".
*''Alternators'' [[Windcharger (G1)#Alternators|Windcharger]] has the first difference with his ''Binaltech'' counterpart, what with them being different characters and all. He features a rear license plate sporting an Autobot logo followed by an abbreviated form of his name, "'''[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] WNDCGR'''".
*Meanwhile, his ''Binaltech'' counterpart [[Overdrive#Binaltech|Overdrive]] has the same layout for the license plate, but sports an abbreviated form of ''his'' name, "'''[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] OVRDRV'''", instead.
*''Alternators'' [[Ravage (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Battle Ravage]] and ''Binaltech'' Ravage both feature a rear license plate sporting a Decepticon logo followed by an abbreviated version of the Japanese toy's (and Hasbro's ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' toy's) name, "'''[[Image:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]] RVG'''". Early [[prototype|test shots]] of the ''Alternators'' version still sported an abbreviated form of the Hasbro name for the toy, "'''[[Image:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]] BTLRVG'''", which implies an intentional change.
*''Alternators'' [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Alternators|Shockblast]] features a rear license plate sporting a Decepticon logo followed by an abbreviated form of the character's ''Generation 1'' toy's name, "'''[[Image:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]] SHKWAV'''". The ''Binaltech'' counterpart, Laserwave, replaces that with an abbreviated form of its Japanese name, "'''[[Image:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]] LWAVE'''".
*Both versions of [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Alternators|Wheeljack]] feature a rear license plate sporting an Autobot logo followed by an abbreviated form of his name, "'''[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] WHLJCK'''".
*The ''Alternators''-only retool of Windcharger, [[Decepticharge]], features a rear license plate sporting a Decepticon logo followed by an abbreviated form of his name, "'''[[Image:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]] DCHRG'''".
*Decepticharge's unreleased ''Binaltech'' counterpart, [[Blackarachnia_(BW)#Binaltech|Blackwidow]], featured a license plate sporting a Decepticon logo followed by the second half of her name, "'''[[Image:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]] WIDOW'''", in promotional photos.
*The ''Alternators''-only retool of Tracks, [[Swerve (G1)#Alternators|Swerve]], features a rear license plate sporting an Autobot logo followed by his name, "'''[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] SWERVE'''".
*All versions of [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Prowl]], including the ''Binaltech''-only blue civilian variant, feature a rear license plate sporting an Autobot logo followed by the character's name, "'''[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] PROWL'''".
*Both versions of [[Skids (G1)#Alternators|Skids]] feature a rear license plate sporting an Autobot logo followed by his name, "'''[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] SKIDS'''".
*''Alternators'' [[Sunstreaker (G1)#Alternators|Sunstreaker]] features a rear license plate sporting an Autobot logo followed by his full name, "'''[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] SUNSTREAKER'''", as does the ''Binaltech Asterisk'' version. In fact, the license plate is one of the two elements of the two versions' decos that are identical, the other being the [[paint operation|paint mask]] for the head. An earlier test shot of ''Alternators'' Sunstreaker sported an abbreviated form of the name in a different font, with an Autobot logo in the middle, "'''SUN [[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] STRK'''".
*The ''Alternators''-only redeco of Swindle, [[Rollbar (G1)#Alternators|Rollbar]], was the first to feature a state-specific rear license plate, in his case his name, "'''ROLLBAR'''", registered in Colorado. Like Hound, he also features a front license plate sporting nothing but an Autobot logo, [[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]].
*The equally ''Alternators''-only redeco of Silverstreak, [[Ricochet (Headmasters)#Alternators|Ricochet]], followed suit, with a rear license plate sporting his name, "'''RICO-CHET'''", registered in the Garden State of New Jersey. Like Silverstreak and Rollbar, he also features a front license plate with a lone Autobot logo, [[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]].
*''Alternators'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Alternators|Optimus Prime]] features a rear license plate sporting an Autobot logo followed by the second half of his name, "'''PRIME'''", styled after a California plate but replacing the state name with his home planet of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in the same font.
*''Alternators'' [[Mirage (G1)#Alternators|Mirage]] features a rear license plate sporting his name, "'''MIRAGE'''", registered in the Great Lakes state of Michigan. His [[e-Hobby]] [[exclusive]] clear ''Binaltech'' counterpart, "Rijie Electro-Disruptor Mode", simply has an Autobot logo followed by his Japanese name, "'''[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] RIJIE'''", with no state-specific plate.
*The ''Alternators''-only redeco of Prowl, [[Camshaft (G1)#Alternators|Camshaft]], features a rear license plate sporting an abbreviated form of his name, "'''CAM SHFT'''", registered in the Ocean State of Rhode Island (also Hasbro's home state). Since the toy's deco was originally conceived with the ''[[Diaclone]]'' version of ''Generation 1'' Bluestreak in mind, early samples sported an abbreviated form of ''that'' name, "'''BLU STRK'''", instead.
*The [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]/San Diego Comic-Con 2006 exclusive redeco of Optimus Prime, [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]], has a rear license plate sporting the first half of his name, "'''NEMESIS'''", registered in California with a date of July 2006, referring to the place and date of the toy's release. The Wonder Festival 2007 Winter exclusive ''Binaltech'' counterpart, Black Convoy, replaces that with his Japanese name, "'''BLACK-CONVOY'''", with no state-specific plate.
*The [[Walmart]] exclusive, ''Alternators''-only mold [[Rumble (G1)#Alternators|Decepticon Rumble]] features a rear license plate sporting his name without a trademark-induced prefix, "'''RUMBLE'''", registered in the Aloha State of Hawaii.
*The second toy of Ravage (the Jaguar XK), equally ''Alternators''-only, but only Walmart exclusive in the USA (it was available at mass retail in various European countries), features a rear license plate that sports his name "'''RAVAGE'''". Since Jaguar is a British manufacturer, it's the only license plate registered in the European Union, with a "GB" country identifier for Great Britain.
*The Hasbro Toy Shop/San Diego Comic-Con 2007 exclusive retool of Mirage, [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Alternators|Rodimus]], features a rear license plate sporting the slogan "'''TOO HOT'''", registered in the Golden State of California with a date of July, referring to the place and date of the toy's release.
*The final four ''Binaltech''-only redecos simply feature license plates with white text on a black backdop, like vehicles on display at a car show. The redeco of Streak, "Bluestreak", has front and rear plates with the car's model, "'''IMPREZA'''", the redecos of Meister (with parts taken from his retool, Laserwave), "Argent Meister", and the redeco of Decepticharge, [[Arcee (G1)#Binaltech|Arcee]], both also have rear plates with the car's models, "'''RX-8'''" and "'''S2000'''", respectively, and Optimus Prime's ''Binaltech'' counterpart, Convoy, has a rear plate with the manufacturer's name, "'''DODGE'''". All names are matched to the official manufacturers' logos and fonts.

====Binaltech Asterisk====
*The ''Asterisk''-only retool of Streak, [[Red Alert (G1)#Binaltech Asterisk|Alert]], again has a front plate only sporting an Autobot logo, [[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]], and a rear late sporting an Autobot logo followed by his Japanese name, "'''[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]]ALERT'''".
*As mentioned above, [[Sunstreaker (G1)#Binaltech Asterisk|Sunstreaker]] features a rear license plate sporting an Autobot logo followed by his full name, "'''[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] SUNSTREAKER'''", just like his ''Alternators'' counterpart.
*[[Blaster (G1)#Binaltech Asterisk|Broadblast]] features a rear license plate sporting an Autobot logo followed by an abbreviated form of his Japanese name, "'''[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] bRBL'''", with the lowercase first "b" and the uppercase second "B" being a reference to the vehicle's Japanese name, the Toyota bB.

===[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]===
*[[Lugnutz]]'s plate is [[Image:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]].
*[[Hightail]] has a Cincinnati [[Ohio]] plate, "'''B-CAT 1'''". Combined with its coloration, it refers to the [[Wikipedia:University of Cincinnati|University of Cincinnati's]] Bearcats, included as a tip of the hat by (and/or for) [[Hasbro]] Transformers staff who used to work at Hasbro's now-closed Ohio offices.

===[[Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]===
*[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Kiss Players|Convoy]] features a rear license plate sporting an Autobot logo followed by his Japanese name, "'''[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] CONVOY'''".
*[[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Kiss Players|Hot Rodimus]] features a rear license plate sporting an Autobot logo followed by his Japanese name, "'''[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] HOT RODIMUS'''".
*The 1:24 scale toy of [[Autorooper]] features identical front and rear license plates sporting a Japanese kanji and a number, "'''子・・04'''". The kanji stands for "rat", one of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac, identifying the Autrooper unit's platoon, whereas the number identifies the individual Autorooper unit. The license plate is registered to the [[Earth Defense Command]]'s Tokyo precinct, as a shown by the kanji "東京" for Tokyo and the abbreviation "EDC".

===[[Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]===
*[[BotCon 2010]] "[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]: Redux" [[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown's]] license plate reads "'''BCFW94'''", a reference to the very first [[BotCon 1994|BotCon]] held in Fort Wayne in 1994, where the original BotCon [[exclusive]] ''Generation 2'' Breakdown toy had been available.
*BotCon 2010 Custom Class exclusive "Generation 2: Redux" [[Sideswipe (G1)#Timelines|Sideswipe's]] license plate reads, or at least is ''supposed'' to read, "'''G2SWIPE'''".

===[[Movie (toyline)|Movie]]===
*[[Bumblebee (Movie)#toys|Bumblebee's]] toys alternatively sport two different license plates: The more prevalent one is "'''4NZZ454'''", based on the CG robot model of the "Concept Camaro" body used for the movie. It can be found on the Deluxe Class "Classic Camaro" toy's robot mode stomach (in contrast to the license plate the movie used for this body), which has a blank license plate on the vehicle mode's rear end, on Ultimate Bumblebee in both modes, and on the non-transforming Unleashed, [[Robot Replicas]], [[Cyber Stompin' Robots]] and Tiger's Beatmix Bumblebee figures' robot mode stomachs. Ultimate Bumblebee and the Robot Replica, Unleashed and Beatmix toys also sport a California registration, while the Deluxe and Cyber Stompin' toys simply have a red line evocative of the "California" logo.
*The Deluxe Class "Concept Camaro" toy, meanwhile, adds an extra "Z", making it "'''4NZZZ454'''" for the robot mode's chest, again with a red line evocative of the "California" logo, while the vehicle mode's rear end again features a blank plate. This plate is also used for the battle damaged [[redeco]] from the [[Target]] [[exclusive]] "Bumblebee: Evolution of a Hero" two-pack, the Screen Battles "Capture of Bumblebee" redeco, the Target exclusive [[AllSpark Power|"AllSpark-enhanced"]] redeco and the [[Premium Series]] redeco/[[retool]]. The Premium version also adds the same license plate to the vehicle mode's rear end.
*The "Classic Camaro" [[Cyber Slammers]] toy does something else entirely, with a rear license plate sporting an abbreviated form of his name, "'''BUMBL-B'''", with a line evocative of a "California" logo above it... except both the letters and the line are blue. In robot mode, the license plate on his stomach is blank.
*Meanwhile, the [[Legends Class]] toys including the [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] redeco, the Cliffjumper redeco and the "Stealth Bumblebee" redeco/retool of the "Concept Camaro" Deluxe [[mold|sculpt]], the "Concept Camaro" Cyber Slammers toy, the [[Fast Action Battlers]] toys and the legless Bumblebee figure available as part of the Screen Battles "Final Stand" set with a minor redeco of Deluxe Class [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] all sport blank license plates in both modes.
*Most of [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade's]] toy sport blank license plates. The only exceptions are the "Recon Barricade" redeco of the Deluxe Class toy, which features a rear license plate sporting the name "'''SAGE2764'''", referring to the screenname of a member of a Chinese toy newsgroup pertaining to Recon Barricade's deco designer [[Joe Kyde]], and the Premium Series redeco of the Deluxe, whose license plate sports an abbreviation of his Decepticon allegiance, "'''DCPTCN'''".
*Deluxe Class [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] sports a license plate that reads "'''TF 7407'''", registered in Massachusetts. The number refers to the premiere date of the [[Transformers (2007)|2007 movie]], which actually opened in US theaters on July '''3''', 2007. The Japanese-only "Black Arcee" redeco keeps the plate.
*The officially unreleased [[Target]] [[exclusive]] Scout Class figure [[Backtrack (Movie)|Backtrack]] sports a license plate that reads "'''MR 37'''", registered in Kentucky. "MR-37" was the Japanese ID number of the ''Machine Robo'' version of the [[Tonka]] [[Guardian (GoBots)|Guardian]] [[GoBots (franchise)|GoBot]] [http://www.tfu.info/Gobots/Guardians/NightRanger/nightranger.htm Night Ranger], whose color scheme Backtrack [[homage]]s. The Kentucky registration makes the color scheme a double homage, to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_Wildcats University of Kentucky Wildcats].
*All other toys with vehicular modes sport blank license plates, despite often having the space for them specifically sculpted.

===[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe (2008)]]/[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]===
*''Universe'' [[Sunstreaker (G1)#Universe (2008)|Sunstreaker]] features a rear license plate sporting the phrase "'''WE R 84'''", spelled out "We are 84", referring to the launch of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original ''Transformers'' toy line]] in [[1984]]. The same plate is also used for his ''Henkei! Henkei!'' counterpart. Early Hasbro [[prototype]]s used for [[stock photography|stock photos]] and comparison photos in Japanese magazines sported an incorrect "'''WE R 82'''" license plate, which was thankfully caught in [[quality control]] in time for the final release. (It's also possible that the "82" version might have been a reference to the year the ''[[Diaclone]]'' predecessor of Sunstreaker, the "first transforming car-to-robot toy" according to Hasbro, was released.)
*Sunstreaker's ''Universe'' redeco, [[Sideswipe (G1)#Universe (2008)|Sideswipe]], features a rear license plate sporting the second half of his name, "'''SWIPE'''". His ''Henkei! Henkei!'' counterpart, Lambor, replaces that with his Japanese name, "'''LAMBOR'''".
*''Universe'' [[Ironhide (G1)#Universe|Ironhide]] features a rear license plate sporting the state name "'''OREGON'''", referring to the state where [[Mount St. Hilary]], the mountain the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] had crashed into, was located according to the [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|comics]]. His ''Henkei! Henkei!'' counterpart boringly replaces that with a blank plate.
*Ironhide's ''Universe'' redeco, [[Ratchet (G1)#Universe (2008)|Autobot Ratchet]], features a rear license plate sporting the message "'''H3L PU2'''", or "Help us", referring to the cover of [[The Pri¢e of Life!|issue 70]] of the Marvel US comic. Again, ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Ratchet simply replaces that with a blank plate.
*[[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#Universe|Hot Shot]] features a rear plate sporting the message "'''JA AM'''", declaring the character's well-known love for the substance known as [[JaAm]]. His ''Henkei! Henkei!'' counterpart, [[Hot Rod (Henkei!)|Hot Rod]], replaces that with his Japanese name, "'''HOT ROD'''".
*''Henkei! Henkei!'' [[Red Alert (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|Alert]] features a rear plate sporting his Japanese name, "'''ALERT'''".

===[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]===
*[[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Revenge of the Fallen|Bumblebee]]'s Deluxe Class "preview" toy, a [[retool]] of the ''[[Movie (toyline)|Movie]]'' Deluxe Class "Concept Camaro" Bumblebee toy, keeps that version's movie-inaccurate license plate "'''4NZZZ454'''" on the robot mode chest, but omits the red line evocative of a California registration this time. The vehicle mode's rear license plate is blank. The same plate is also used by [[Human Alliance]] Bumblebee, in both modes, both times with a red line evocative of a California registration.
*The ''Movie'' Ultimate Bumblebee retool, "Ultimate Bumblebee Battle Charged", keeps the original version's movie-accurate plate, "'''4NZZ454'''" with one less "Z", in both modes, both times registered in California, like on the original.
*All other Bumblebee toys (Legends Class, the Deluxe redeco Alliance Bumblebee, the elaborate Deluxe retool Cannon Bumblebee, its retool Battlefield Bumblebee, the [[Gravity Bot]]s and the [[Fast Action Battlers]]) have blank license plates.
*Human Alliance [[Barricade (Movie)#Human Alliance|Barricade]] features a rear license plate sporting the message "'''2PN-SLV'''", referring to the infamous "To punish and enslave..." markings that are part of his police car deco.
*[[Skids (ROTF)|Autobot Skids]] features a rear license plate sporting his name minus the [[trademark]]-induced prefix, "'''SKIDS'''", on his Deluxe Class, Gravity Bots and Human Alliance toys.
*His brother [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] features a rear license plate sporting his vehicle mode's name, "'''TRAX'''", on his Gravity Bots toy and the initial shipment of his Deluxe Class toy. [[Variant|Later shipments]] of the Deluxe, including the Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release, replace it with his name, "'''MUDFLAP'''", as do the Deluxe's redeco, Tuner Mudflap, and the Human Alliance toy.
*All other toys have blank license plates, despite often having them specifically sculpted.
*[[Nightbeat (ROTF)|Nightbeat]] features a rear license plate sporting an Autobot logo followed by an abbreviated form of his name including elements of [[Wikipedia:Leet|leet]], "'''[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] NGTB34T'''".
*[[Brakedown (ROTF)|Brakedown's]] rear license plate is [[Image:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]].
*[[Blowpipe (ROTF)|Blowpipe's]] license plate reads "'''P1-P35'''", a reference to ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Pipes (G1)|Pipes]], the character he homages but couldn't be named after for [[trademark]] reasons.

===[[Generations (toyline)|Generations]]===
*As a rather unusual [[homage]], ''Generations'' [[Red Alert (G1)#Generations|Red Alert]] keeps the character's Japanese name from the ''Henkei'' version on his rear license plate, but adds the original [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] toy's [[Japanese ID number list|Japanese ID number]], making it "'''05 ALERT'''".

===[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers (2010)]]/[[Transformers United|United]]===
*Deluxe Class [[Skids (ROTF)#Transformers (2010)|Tuner Skids]] features a rear license plate sporting the slogan "'''IH8CONS'''", or "I hate Cons" (as in "Decepticons").
*Deluxe Class [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-1]] features a license plate that sports her name written in [[Wikipedia:Leet|leet]], "'''3L 174'''".
*Deluxe Class [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] sports an Autobot logo, [[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]], on his license plate.
*Scout Class [[Oil Pan]]'s license plate is a lone Decepticon logo, [[Image:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]].
*Battle Ops [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Bumblebee]] sports the movie-accurate license plate "'''4NZZ454'''" in both modes, both times without so much as a red line evocative of a California registration. Deluxe Class Battle Blades Bumblebee, meanwhile, sports blank license plates in both modes.
*''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' Deluxe Class [[Perceptor (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Perceptor]] features a rear license plate sporting the code "'''MR51409'''". The exact meaning has not been officially confirmed, the most prevalent theory suggests it might refer to the birth date of [[Bill Rawley]]'s daughter. Surprisingly enough, his ''United'' counterpart, "[[Trademark|Autobot]] Perceptor", keeps the plate.

===[[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]===
*Deluxe Class Nitro [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] features ''sculpted'' (!) license plates sporting the combination "'''900 STRA'''" without a state-specific registration in both modes, but not painted, thus keeping it in the same plastic colors as the surrounding areas (yellow in vehicle mode, gray on the robot mode's stomach). This is in fact the plate used on the car props for all three movies, which is different from the plate used on the CG robot model's stomach in the first two films (though ''[[Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' finally uses it for both modes). Leader Class Bumblebee features the same license plate, ''also'' sculpted in both modes, as well as painted.
*Leader Class Bumblebee similarly has sculpted "'''900 STRA'''" plates in both robot and car modes.
*The redeco of ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Human Alliance]] Bumblebee features license plates that sport an Autobot logo followed by his nickname, "[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] '''BEE'''", in both modes.
*[[Human Alliance]] [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]'s license plate is '''"SUPERIOR"''', in reference to ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]'s line "Soundwave superior, [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] inferior" from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.
*The [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]/San Diego Comic-Con [[exclusive]] [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Ultimate|Ultimate Optimus Prime]] packaging [[variant]] came with an exclusive sticker sheet that includes the three optional license plates "'''PRIME'''", "'''SDCC2011'''" and "'''4KH4213'''" for his trailer.

===[[Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|Super-God Masterforce]]===
*A car driven by [[Buster]] has the plates "'''EV-1255'''" in "[[Expose the Decepticons' Dark Trap!]]".

===[[Dreamwave Generation One continuity|Dreamwave Generation One comics]]===
*A random car in the final panel of [[Extermination|issue 8]] of the [[Generation One (Dreamwave comic)|''Generation One'' vol. 3 ongoing comic]] sports a license plate with the coded message "'''TR8R1'''", which has been interpreted as "traitor 1", implying that [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell's]] all-too-easy defeat at the hands of [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]] might in fact be a ruse, and Bumper might in fact be a traitor (possibly under the control of one of Bombshell's [[cerebro-shell]]s). Sadly, what with the whole [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] bankruptcy thing, this will probably never be resolved.

===[[IDW Generation 1 continuity|IDW Generation 1 comic]]===
*Most plates in [[Infiltration]] are blank, but [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]]'s is "'''5IDW510'''", as seen in issues [[Infiltration issue 2|2]] and [[Infiltration issue 4|4]]. The "IDW" part obviously refers to the [[IDW Publishing|publisher]], while the number "510" might refer to the month and year of [[Infiltration issue 0|issue 0's]] release, October 2005.
*In ''[[Spotlight: Hardhead]]'', [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat's]] license plate reads "'''M1N-3RV4'''", an obvious reference to his ''[[Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' [[Minerva (Masterforce)|mold-mate]].
*In [[...For All Mankind|issue 1]] of the [[The Transformers (IDW)|ongoing title]], [[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown]] features a license plate sporting an abbreviated form of his name, "'''BRKDOWN'''".
*In [[Enemies of the System|issue 5]] of the ongoing, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]'s license plate reads "'''STACK04'''" in reference to [[Robert Stack]], his first voice actor.
*[[International Incident Part 1: "The Land Ironclads"|Issue 8]] of the ongoing features [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] with the license plate "'''D-64'''", his original toy's [[Japanese ID number list|Japanese ID number]].

===[[Robots in Disguise (cartoon)|Robots in Disguise]]===
*Autobots sport their toys' [[Japanese ID number list|Japanese ID number]] as their license plates. E.G. [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]]'s is "'''C-001'''". This even extends to the [[Autobot Brothers]]' plates changing to their super redeco toys' ID numbers when they power up, with, for instance, [[X-Brawn]]'s changing from "'''C-002'''" to "'''C-024'''".
*[[Kelly (RID)|Kelly]]'s many red sports cars feature the license plates "'''J38-57'''" and "'''J68-85'''" ("[[An Explosive Situation]]"), "'''J38-57'''" ("[[The Ultimate Robot Warrior]]"), "'''J68-85'''" ("[[Attack from Outer Space]]"), "'''51-16'''" (an SUV in "[[A Test of Metal]]"), "'''G·5-25'''" ("[[Power to Burn!]]"), "'''J·3-30'''" ("[[Maximus Emerges]]") and "'''H68-85'''" ("[[The Final Battle (RID)|The Final Battle]]").
*In "An Explosive Situation", [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]] attacks a truck with the license place "'''G39-20'''".
*The sports car [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]] eyes up in "[[Tow-Line Goes Haywire]]" has the plate "'''M:ZZ 1021'''".
*And another one he eyes up in "[[The Fish Test]]" sports the number "'''M-Z 8831'''".

===[[Transformers (2007)]]===
[[Image:MovieIronhidevsLost.jpg|thumb|100px|right|The crossover you never expected to see!]]
*As long as he transforms into a 1976 Camaro, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] sports a ca. 1970-1980 California license plate, "'''489 PCE'''", both on his vehicle mode's rear end and on his stomach in robot mode.
*Once he has upgraded into a modern Camaro, he alternates between "'''900 STRA'''" without a state-specific registration in vehicle mode and "'''4NZZ454'''" registered in California in robot mode.
*In vehicle mode, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] sports the license plate "'''664 NLZO'''" in vehicle mode, without a state-specific registration. It can be briefly seen during his transformation before his fight with [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]. In robot mode, he sports the license plate "'''1-4027E'''", registered in Oklahoma, instead... which also happens to be [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]'s license plate in vehicle mode. The license plate can be briefly glimpsed in the movie when he slows down after having seemingly cornered Bumblebee, but is more clearly seen in set photos.
*[[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] sports the license plate "'''4PCI382'''" on his robot mode chest. This appears to be a license plate reserved for Hollywood productions, as it was also used for the ''[[Wikipedia:Lost (TV series)|Lost]]'' season 5 episode "[http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/The_Little_Prince The Little Prince]", for the car driven by minor character Dan Norton.
*An SUV thrown through the air during [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron's]] rampage in [[Mission City]] sports an "'''[[Energon (fuel)|ENERGON]]'''" license plate as an easter egg.

====Set photos====
*The life-sized Bumblebee robot prop used for the movie sported the license plate "'''5LKZ213'''" on his stomach on the Hoover Dam set.
*The [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] GMC Topkick car prop also sported the license plate "'''4PCI382'''" seen on his robot chest in the movie, registered in California in January.
*The [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] Hummer H2 car prop sported the license plate "'''6Q49935'''", with a "CA Exempt" registration reserved for Californian government and emergency vehicles.
{{-}}

===[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)]]===
*Like in the first film, Bumblebee alternates between "'''900 STRA'''" in vehicle mode and "'''4NZZ454'''" in robot mode.
*In their combined ice cream truck mode, [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] sport a ca. 1970-1980 California license plate, "'''KDM 814'''". A minor variant of this, "KDM 0814" with an extra "0" (but as a modern California plate), was later used for the life-sized Bumblebee prop on various exhibits from 2009 up until at least 2011.
*As a Chevrolet Beat, Skids sports a license plate with his name, "'''SKIDS'''". Oddly enough, the real Chevrolet Beat he scans at the beginning of the movie already has the same plate, despite his and Mudflap's arguing over who gets to transform into which car. Even ''more'' oddly, Skids sports a license plate stating his vehicle model, "'''BEAT'''", when they are going to New York City to meet with [[Seymour Simmons|Robo-Warrior]].
*Mudflap, meanwhile, sports a license plate with his own name, "'''MUDFLAP'''", as a Chevrolet Trax. As with Skids, the car he scans already has the same plate.
*[[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways']] license plate in the film reads "'''269 FPJT'''". It can be briefly seen twice; however, the only time it's seen in its entirety, just before [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] splices Sideways in half, the letters and numbers are mirrored, implying that the shot was mirrored in editing.
*[[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] still sports his license plate from the first movie, "'''4PCI382'''", on his robot mode chest despite no longer sporting a license plate in vehicle mode.
*[[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], Sideswipe and [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] sport ''no'' license plates at all.<ref name="rotfpromo">[http://scifimafia.com/2009/05/five-new-official-promo-pics-from-transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen/ Revenge of the Fallen promo pics at Scifi Mania].</ref>

[[Image:ROTFComicSidewaysAudiR8.jpg|thumb|100px|I'll just swipe the car from the official manufacturer's website. "Audi" is a Chinese brand anyways, right?]]
*In [[Revenge of the Fallen issue 1|issue 1]] of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comic adaptation, [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] sports a German license plate on his vehicle mode's front, registered in the City of Hamburg. In fact, the license number "'''HH BA 740'''" is taken straight from commercials and other promotional materials for the Audi R8.
{{-}}

===[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|'''Prime''' cartoon]]===
*[[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]]'s plate reads "'''JOFY 892'''", as seen in "[[Deus ex Machina]]" and "[[Speed Metal]]".
*[[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]]'s license plate in "Deus ex Machina" is "'''DGOT 441'''".
*[[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]]'s license plate in "Speed Metal" is "'''936 SOH'''".
*[[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]]'s license plate in "[[Crisscross]]" and "[[Stronger, Faster]]" is "'''396571'''".
*[[June Darby]]'s car in "Crisscross" sports the license plate "'''RPI 437'''".
*[[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead's]] license plate in "[[Metal Attraction]]" and "[[T.M.I.]]" is "'''821 BOF'''".

===[[Dark of the Moon (film)]]===
*Finally achieving consistency, Bumblebee now sports the license plate "'''900 STRA'''" in both modes.
*Like in ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Ironhide sports his license plate from the first movie, "'''4PCI382'''", on his robot mode chest despite not sporting an actual license plate in vehicle mode (see below).
*[[Mirage (Movie)|Dino]] sports an Italian/European Union license plate (registered in the province of Catania), "'''CT 41401'''", in vehicle mode.<ref name="ferrari">[http://www.flickr.com/photos/terry_usa/4807352490/sizes/o/in/photostream/ Set photo of the Ferrari 458 Italia] with a close-up view of the license plate.</ref> The colors are (deliberately) incorrect, though: Instead of black text on a white background, with a European "blue band" containing the European flag (a circle consisting of twelve yellow stars) on the left and a second blue band containing a yellow circle on the right, Dino's plate is essentially a negative monochrome version, with ''silver'' text on a ''black'' background, ''silver'' bands on both sides, a European flag consisting of twelve ''black'' stars on the left and a black circle on the right.
*[[Dutch (DOTM)|Dutch's]] Maybach 62S Landaulet sports a German/European Union license plate, "'''S MM 6201'''", registered in the city of Stuttgart. In reality, that license plate is registered to the manufacturer and used for promotional photos.<ref name="maybach">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-just-movie-31/update--transformers-3-rumor--who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire-170533/ Set photos and promo photos of the Maybach 62S Landaulet] at TFW2005.</ref>
====Set photos====
*The [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] Hummer H2 car prop sported the license plate "'''9999963'''", with a "CA Exempt" registration reserved for Californian government and emergency vehicles, on the Chicago set.<ref name="chicago1">[http://www.seibertron.com/live-action-films/gallery.php?id=133&size=0&start=50 Dark of the Moon Chicago set (1)] at Seibertron.com.</ref>
*The Ironhide GMC Topkick car prop sported a black plate with a [[NEST]] logo on it on the Chicago set.<ref name="chicago2">[http://www.seibertron.com/live-action-films/gallery.php?id=132&size=0&start=100 Dark of the Moon Chicago set (2)] at Seibertron.com.</ref>
*The "[[Wheeljack (Movie)|Que]]" Mercedes-Benz E550 car prop sported a German/European Union license plate, "'''M IC3802'''", registered in the city of Munich, on the Chicago set.<ref name="chicago1"/> (The design of the plate is slightly inaccurate, as there should be a space between "IC" and "3802" if it were a real German plate. Also, a German car would have a license plate on the front as well.)
*The [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG car prop sported another German/European Union license plate, "'''M JS8509'''", also registered in Munich, on the Chicago set.<ref name="chicago3">[http://www.flickr.com/photos/aperturesun/archives/date-taken/2010/07/17/ Dark of the Moon Chicago set] at Flickr.</ref> (Again, there should be a space between "JS" and "8509", and another license plate on the front if it were to be genuinely German.)

==Video games==
*[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] sports a license plate with the first half "'''5BBM2'''", mirrored on the other side, in [[Activision Blizzard|Activision's]] ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' and ''[[Dark of the Moon (video games)|Dark of the Moon]]'' video games. The plate is registered in California in January, but due to its symmetrical nature, the state name and month are also mirrored on the other side. Despite this, he sports the movie-accurate plate '''900 STRA''' in vehicle mode in the ''Dark of the Moon'' game.

==Other==
*''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] sports a front license plate that reads "'''I❤NY'''", referencing the decades-old "I Love New York" advertising campaign for [[New York City]], on the "Data File" card that came with the ''[[The Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] [[Generation 1 reissues|reissue]].
*The [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] 1976 Camaro prop vehicle from the [[Transformers (2007)|2007 movie]] that was on display at the London Film and Comic Con in September 2007 sported its film license plate, "'''489 PCE'''", registered in California.
*The [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] Pontiac Solstice prop vehicle from the 2007 movie sported its film license plate, "'''664 NLZO'''" without a state-specific registration, when it was on display at GM Riverwalk in June 2007.
*The [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] Hummer H2 vehicle prop from the 2007 movie sported its film license plate, "'''6Q49935'''" with a "CA Exempt" registration reserved for Californian government and emergency vehicles, when it was on display at the Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung in Frankfurt, Germany in September 2007.
*The Bumblebee Camaro prop vehicle from ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' sported its film license plate, "'''900 STRA'''" without a state-specific registration, at the 2009 Chicago Auto Show. The prop vehicle used for ''[[Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' sported the same plate at the 2011 New York International Auto Show and [[BotCon 2011]].
*The life-sized Bumblebee robot prop used for the movies sported the license plate "'''BUMBLBE'''", registered in California with a July date, on his robot stomach when it was on display at the film's premiere at Westwood Village, Los Angeles, in June 2007, and later that year at the West Hollywood Gateway shopping center in October.
*The following year, the prop sported the license plate '''FXPERTS''', registered in California, when it was on display at CES 2008 in January, and later that year when it was on display at the Holloman Air Force Base in September, when the ''Revenge'' crew was shooting there. "Fxperts" is the name of the special effects company that built the prop.
*The most current plate used for the prop, '''KDM 0814''', registered in California, was first used at in February 2009 at the Chicago Auto Show, then in March at the Las Vegas Strip, in November of that year at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia (using a "May" date for this occasion, oddly enough, while all the other uses were month-less), and again in March 2011 at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, Indiana, in April 2011 at the New York International Auto Show and in June 2011 at the German premiere of ''Dark of the Moon'' in Berlin. This plate is a minor variation of the one used by [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] in their combined ice cream truck mode in ''Revenge of the Fallen'', "KDM 814" (also registered in California).

==Notes==
* The planned Cadillac XLR [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]] ''[[Alternators]]'' toy that never made it past the planning stage was intended to sport an [[Oregon]] license plate.
* The [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] 1976 Camaro prop vehicle's license plate, "'''489 PCE'''", was auctioned off by [http://www.screenused.com/ ScreenUsed.com] in January 2008.
* Ironhide's license plate from the first movie, "'''4PCI382'''", was auctioned off via [http://www.yourprops.com/ YourProps.com].
* Despite being used again for ''[[Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', the Bumblebee Camaro prop vehicle's license plate from ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', "'''900 STRA'''", was auctioned off by [http://www.icollector.com/ iCollector.com] in October 2009.
* At the same time, iCollector also auctioned off license plate props used for [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] in their Chevrolet Beat and Trax bodies, respectively. In fact, there were two plates for both, "'''SKIDS'''" and "'''BEAT'''" for Skids and "'''MUDFLAP'''" and "'''TRAX'''" for Mudflap. Even though iCollector claimed the two sets were used for their robot and vehicle modes, respectively, this was directly refuted by screencaps included with the auction that depicted the two car props sporting their robot names on their plates. As stated above, the "BEAT" plate can be seen briefly in the movie, and it's ''possible'' the "TRAX" plate was used for the same scene (although the car's plate is offscreen during that scene).

[[Image:DOTM-brains-closeup.jpg|right|thumb|275px|''"Pinky & the Brain Part II: Pinky '''is''' the Brain"''.]]

Not long ago, the [[Decepticon]]s constructed a "brain unit" drone to receive a very important download. However, the Decepticons underestimated the independent thought capacity of their new member, and before long the drone rebelled, defected to the [[Autobot]]s, and now calls himself "'''Brains'''." Despite his somewhat eccentric behaviour and mannerisms, he's essentially a nice guy, and gets along well with his fellow miniature Decepticon drone-turned-Autobot, [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]]. He transforms into a laptop computer.

===IDW ''Dark of the Moon'' prequel comics===
[[Image:RisingStorm1-Brainshi.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Hello to you, too, sir.]]
When [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] was tasked by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to help put his house in order by re-consolidating the scattered Decepticon forces, Shockwave naturally set about it in the most duplicitous manner possible. Tasking his subordinate [[Astrotrain (DOTM)|Astrotrain]] with the construction of an enclosure for his pet [[Driller]] in upstate [[New York (state)|New York]], Shockwave provided him with a brain unit that supposedly contained a data download that was integral to the cage's construction. The unit, however, had deliberately been equipped with a level of independent thought its kind were not normally outfitted with, and when it overheard Shockwave telling Astrotrain to terminate it upon completion of its task, it decided to flee, adopting the name "Brains" and fleeing across the state line to [[Philadelphia]], [[Pennsylvania]]. Failing to understand that the fleshy meat-poles walking around were the dominant lifeform, Brains tried to get some aid from local machines, but after getting no response, he kicked a car in anger. This car, as it turned out, was [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], whose partner [[Sam Witwicky]] was not far away. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

Sam brought Brains back to his school, where he formed a quick friendship with Sam's live-in Transformer "buddy", his fellow scrap drone [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]]. Unfortunately, Brains's arrival at Sam's school had all been part of Shockwave's plan: attributing a non-existent significance to the drone, Shockwave had tracked down and forced [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and the Decepticons loyal to him to recover Brains, leading a huge Decepticon assault force to strike Sam's school. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} Brains spent the entire fight trying to avoid getting killed, stumbling across [[Carly Spencer]] in the midst of the chaos. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}} He was amazed when [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s Autobots arrived to join the battle, and was told by Wheelie that he'd be seeing a lot more amazing sights now that he was with the Autobots. Brains teared up a little, deeming that the nicest thing anyone had ever said to him. Brains subsequently took up residence with Wheelie and Sam, and when Sam moved to [[Washington, D.C.]] to live with Carly, Brains and Wheelie went with him. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

{{bigquote|This is a total clusterf-|Brains, upon crashlanding aboard a Decepticon batleship, [[Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]}}

Brains and [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] moved in with Sam and [[Carly Spencer]]. Brains and Wheelie had a deep friendship, as shown by their constant companionship and their agreement on the [[Mikaela Banes|last girl]] being mean. However neither Brains was a complete pervert, going through Carly's underwear drawer and watching Sam and Carly kiss. Brains, not exactly happy with the living arrangements, complained that Carly was treating them like toys or pets rather than the super-advanced alien refugees he claimed they were.

[[Image:Wheelie&brains-film-nestsoldiers.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Bad news, nobody!]]

The duo went with their human housemates to the NEST base to reveal information to the Autobots, however their offer of help was turned down by [[Charlotte Mearing]]. However when the Autobots were forced to leave Earth by the human authorities, both Brains and Wheelie were captured and shoved into a small cage. They begged for help from Sam, warning him the whole thing was a Decepticons trap. The duo, along with the other Autobots, were presumed to be killed when [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] destroyed the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]'' shortly after take-off.

Thankfully, Brains and Wheelie survived along with the rest of the Autobots by hiding in one of the booster rockets, and came to the aid of Sam, [[Robert Epps|Epps]] and the human race in Chicago. Brains declared to them that no one was going to exile the Autobots, and they soon marched off to battle, riding [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]] into the city. Unfortunately, Brains and Wheelie were left behind by the [[Wreckers]] when they were done distracting [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], having fallen off while they were firing.

[[Image:Dotm-brains&wheelie-hijack-1.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Eh, they're not exactly the Wright Brothers.]]

As they wandered through the streets hopelessly, mumbling about the lack of support, they happened upon a crashed Decepticon ship. They rode it up to one of the massive Decepticon "mother ships" hovering over Chicago that was controlling several smaller ships like the one they hijacked. Brains and Wheelie sabotaged and overrode the ship's controls, dropping several of the small fighters onto the battlefield, causing a distraction just at the right second for [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], preventing Bumblebee from being executed after [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Que]]. This also allowed the Autobots to gain an essential lead in the battle, proving the duo's worth in the end as the massive ship crashed into a large body of water below. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

{{Note|Brains's fate is not revealed in the film, he and Wheelie are presumed to have perished, but he does survive in the novel which depicts him swimming away with Wheelie after the crash.}}

==Notes==

* Brains's head design seems to be based upon the archetypical 'mad scientist', with enormous goggle-eyes and a wild white hairstyle.
* Brains's head also constantly emits smoke, likely to show that his brain is overheating from his intelligence.

Have you been wondering where [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] has been, kids? It turns out he was in [[Australia]]'s Northern Territory with [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] on [[NEST]] business. That business has been put on hold for a new mission: vaulting over the road in pursuit of [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]!

Later, back at [[Diego Garcia]]'s NEST base, [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]] is being pestered by [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]; they've heard Optimus is coming back to base after his <strike>four issue</strike> long absence, and want to know if he's coming to see them, debrief them, has been told about their story... The answers are no, no, and no, before the annoyed soldier just says what he ''does'' know...

[[Image:Titan5_Optimusarmcannon.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The right to bare arms.]]

''Arcee's bikes are trying to aim for Sideways' tyres, but when they get close he sideswipes 'em! Optimus knows the Decepticon may outdistance them if the battle isn't ended soon, but is blinded by a blast of exhaust smoke (ew) and smashes off-road. Arcee is ordered to stay on the enemy, but she/they see it's clear that his alt-mode is far better suited for road combat and hers/theirs aren't. Realising Arcee's right, Optimus decides they just need to alter the terrain, and by that he means '''turn his arm into a massive gun and blow the road up'''. Sideways is blasted onto the grass at the side, and forced to fight in robot mode. But as two human helicopters turn up to back up Arcee, the robo-wimp raises his hands in surrender.''

The End! Sideswipe follows up this story by telling the twins that Prime's just dropping off his prisoner and refueling, so if they think they'll get to talk to... Then he notices they've driven off to the runway where Prime's plane is landing. Sighing, he heads off after them.

With the plane landed and the twins waiting, Mudflap squees about how they'll finally meet Prime and he'll be so impressed with him— er, ''them''. An annoyed Skids accuses his brother of trying to steal credit and vice versa, and so Optimus first meets them as they're fighting and yelling at each other. He immediately bawls them out on their improper conduct (the twins each blame each other). Meanwhile, Arcee and NEST men escort Sideways to his cell... but Sideways knows something she doesn't...

That [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] has arrived to free him! Sideways knocks down Arcee while the bug fires on Optimus, who calls for the Autobots to fire on the intruder... only to accidentally be tripped over by Skids. As Scorponok frees his buddy, Mudflap responds fast, grabbing a piece of debris to use as a weapon—but Sideways snatches it off him and uses it to whack aside army jeeps as he flees!

Sideswipe saw all this from a distance, and to him it looks like Skids ''deliberately'' tripped up Prime and Mudflap ''handed'' over a weapon. When Optimus announces security must have been compromised for Scorponok to get this close, Sideswipe fingers the twins as turncoats: they freed [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] ([[Transformers Comic issue 2.3|#3]]), assaulted him ([[Transformers Comic issue 2.4|#4]]), and today they distracted Optimus and then actively worked to keep him from taking charge and help the enemy escape! Optimus orders them taken into questioning, ignoring their cries that they've been set up because they know too much...

...while a mysterious figure, watching the whole thing, remarks that they are and this is ''only the beginning!''

===Quotes===
"Is he... coming to see us?" 
"No." 
"To hear our story?" 
"No." 
"Debrief us?" 
"No." 
:—'''The twins''' and '''Sideswipe'''

"Just 'cause I'd always ''rather'' flee than fight, don't mean I ''can't''!"
:—'''Sideways'''

"If this terrain works to Sideways' advantage... we must take it ''away''!"
:—'''Optimus Prime''', vandal

"He'll be ''so'' impressed with me!" 
"''Us''. Impressed with ''us''." 
"What I said." 
"No. You said "me"." 
"Did I? A slip up. Forget it." 
:—'''Mudflap''' and '''Skids'''

"This is ''not'' the behaviour I expect of an Autobot warrior. ''Any'' Autobot warrior! Here we are, refugees on an alien world, striving daily for credibility with [[Barack Obama|the powers-that-be]]... and you two are behaving like un-housetrained ''[[scraplet]]s''." 
"It was ''his'' fault!"
:—'''Optimus Prime''' nil, '''the twins''' one

===Errors===

* All three of the Arcee bikes are the same colour. And alas, the colour's pink and not red!

* The "Previously" section claims [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] has been working to discredit the twins, both to keep their intelligence from reaching Optimus and to use them as bait in a wider scheme. However, that ''isn't'' what previously happened (though he clearly was starting the plan after #4) and sort of blows the ending of this part.

===Notes===
* The "Previously" section ''does'', however, confirm and clarify a slightly obscured idea from the past two issues: [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and Sideswipe have been keeping the twins away from Optimus because they just don't ''trust'' them.
* Skids and Mudflap are now ''trying'' to tell people about "[[the Fallen|this dude]] they call the F-", instead of staying mum. No one's listening though! It's not clear whether they ''have'' told people and got ignored, or are just trying now... only to get ignored. Either way, Sideswipe's going to feel really stupid when the film comes round!
* You see Sideways' little line there? In 2011, Hasbro used that as his official quote for [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/unique/sideways his online "Vector Sigma" bio!]
* Optimus refers to Arcee as a single person, Arcee refers to herself as a group. As with the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' adaptation (also by Furman), Arcee's dialogue is split mid-sentence between her three bikes. In a later issue, there'll just be the one Arcee!
* The Autobots have been having difficulties with Earth's political leaders ''before'' the battle at [[Shanghai]].
* How the heck did Scorponok get across the Indian Ocean?!
* The mysterious figure at the end goes unnamed and unshown, but based on the Previously and last two issues it's almost certainly Soundwave.

"ARIES (21 Mar — 19 Apr): The return of a long lost friend will have you laughing. Then there'll be screaming and running. Then the silence of a world sterilised by a massive attack from deep space." 

==Errors==
* Bumblebee and "Welcome to Earth!!!" would fit #2, but doesn't quite work here. (But the image is cool at least!)

* Devastator's bio says only five of the Constructicons combine, with Overload and Scavenger left out.

* Law and Disorder ''still'' promises you can win ''Starscream's'' Star Letter prize, even though he's not the host anymore.

==Notes==

* Scorponok's section of the cover is covered by the free gift, so if you read the comic before taking it off you got a genuine surprise!

* Law and Disorder has a photo of the two winners of #3's "Win a Ride in Bumblebee!" competition. Their faces show ''pure joy''.

* An older fan has sent in fan art of a [[Transformers Animated]] fan character called Hotwire. And wrote the letter ''in character'' as Hotwire. And ''flirts'' with Barricade. ''This'' is why comics need to keep the letter page.

* Barricade's up for it, by the way.

Watch-bot

2011-10-18T01:20:38Z

58.69.198.148:

{{factions|decepticon}}
{{noname-nickname}}
:''The Watch-bot is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]] portion of the [[live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:DOTM watch bot.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Bad [[Scorpia]], no biting!]]

The '''Watch-bot''' is a Decepticon spy who just loves to get under people's skin.

==Fiction==
===''Dark of the Moon'' film===
Given to [[Sam Witwicky]] by [[Dylan Gould]], the Watch-bot connected itself to Sam's nervous system with the purpose of finding out what the Autobot's planned counterattack against the Decepticons was. After accompanying him to the liftoff of the [[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]] and witnessing its destruction by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], the Watch-bot disconnected, slithering through the bundled cables and grating that made up the platform they stood upon amidst Sam's furious stomping.
{{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

==Notes==
*Our nickname for this guy comes from the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon: The Junior Novel|Junior Novel]], where it is repeatedly referred to as the "Watch-bot" (proper noun). In the movie, when [[Dylan Gould|Dylan]] calls it, he refers to it as "wrist", although that may just refer to the 'bot's placement.

Dual Energon Swords

2011-10-18T00:49:23Z

58.69.198.148: /* Revenge of the Fallen */

[[Image:ROTF Prime blades.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Can we say "Mother!"]]
Now, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] may thoroughly believe his credo of "freedom is the right of all sentient beings", but he tends to revoke that in the case of the [[Decepticon]]s. Thus, when entering combat, Prime will use his [[ion blaster]], his [[barrage cannon]], his [[Energon Hooks]], and his '''Dual Energon Swords'''<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Battle Bios at Hasbro.com]</ref> to their fullest effect. Possessing one on each arm, he charges the swords, also known as '''battle blades'''<ref name="ROTFMU"> [[Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe]]</ref>, via a quantum electric generator with a max yield of one thousand degrees Celsius and a burn rate of five kilojoules per second.<ref name="ROTFMU"/>

This makes it a pretty handy weapon. Especially if you have a preference for [[decapitation|going after your enemy's face]].

==Fiction==

===Transformers (2007) movie===
[[Image:Movie2007 Prime sword.jpg|thumb|left|250px|If in the first movie he had one, and in the second movie he had two, then in the third movie, he...ah...]]
While escorting the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]] to [[Mission City]], Prime and the [[Autobot]]s were set upon by the Decepticons [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]], the latter of whom went to robot mode on the freeway to confront the Autobots. [[Transformation|Transforming]] himself, Optimus engaged Bonecrusher in a short but fierce battle, with the [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]] punching Bonecrusher off an overpass with sufficient force to knock out one of his optics. Partially blind and more enraged than usual, Bonecrusher began wildly swinging his tail claw, but Optimus ducked behind a support pole and unsheathed his right Energon Sword. Using it to full effect, Optimus sliced off Bonecrusher's arm and then jammed the sword through the Decepticon's neck, decapitating him. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
[[Image:ROTF Optimus vs Grindor.jpg|thumb|right|250px|''Roses are red'' ''violets are blue'' ''This poem doesn't rhyme'' '''NOW GIVE ME YOUR FACE!''']]
While trying to rescue [[Sam Witwicky]] from the Decepticons, Optimus was forced into a three-on-one battle against [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]. After having his mouth plate shattered, Optimus unsheathed the Dual Energon Swords, slicing and dicing his would-be destroyers Starscream and Grindor, repeatedly impaling the former and relieving the latter Decepticon of his right arm, rotors, and ribs using his swords before throwing the right blade into his chest, and removing his head using a set of hooks.

Later, after Optimus Prime was resurrected by [[Matrix of Leadership]] and combined with the parts of [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]], he worked his way through the floating ring of debris surrounding the [[Star Harvester]] to reach Megatron and [[The Fallen]]. The battle between them was short, with Optimus slicing off Megatron's [[fusion cannon]] arm with his remaining Energon Sword before sending him flying through some ruins, and ended with Optimus slicing off The Fallen's chin (and several fingers) with the blade and proceeding to ''tear off his face'' with The Fallen's own staff. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}
{{-}}

===''Dark of the Moon'' movie===
Optimus first used his blade, handheld, after retrieving it from his trailer along with his shield. Shockwave fled the area with his pet Driller, causing Optimus to simply discard his sword until later.

During the Decepticon invasion of Chicago, Optimus swooped in with his flight tech, took Driller head on with machine guns, and decapitated the creature with his sword while flying by. Later on, he swooped on to the battlefield in a different area, impaling and tossing the Audi R8 Decepticon and slicing a protoform in half. He proceeded with the charge down the street, and took out a Scrapper and a protoform with both of his swords drawn. He then used one in his fight against Sentinel with an axe in hand as well, but both weapons were destroyed. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
====Leader class toys====
[[Image:Movie Leader OptimusPrimeBattleMode.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)
*'''Optimus Prime Battle Mode''' (Leader Class, 2008)

:The first Movie Optimus Prime ''toy'' to feature the Energon Sword was the [[Hasbro]] "Premium" release of [[Size class|Leader class]] Optimus Prime and [[TakaraTomy]]'s Optimus Prime Battle Mode, both of which were extensive [[redeco]]s and minor [[retool]]s in an attempt for greater accuracy. Additionally, the [[Ion blaster]] was replaced by the Energon Sword (here called the "energy sword"), which, through the [[Automorph]]ing [[gimmick]], flips from Optimus's forearm to cover his fist, after which the blade can be slid out of his scabbard. Due to its tacked-on nature, the design of the sword and the mechanism for its deployment aren't very accurate to the depiction in the movie.

*'''Buster Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2009)
*'''Jetpower Optimus Prime''' (Leader 2-pack, 2009)
*'''Optimus Prime Limited Clear Color Edition''' (Leader, 2010)

:By the time ''Revenge of the Fallen'' rolled around, Hasbro/TakaraTomy had integrated the Energon Swords into Optimus Prime's arm design, resulting in a much more accurate depiction of the weapons. Triggered by a switch on the inner sides of his forearms, two Energon Swords flip out of the outer sides of his arms.

*'''Jet Power Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2010)

:The main drawcard of this extensive repaint of the Voyager class Optimus Prime toy from the 2007 ''Transformers'' toyline is the [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] armour one can attach to him, but he also features a Energon Sword one can attach to his left arm whilst combined with the Jetfire parts.

:The Japanese release of ''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Prime includes not only the exclusive trailer, but a [[MechTech]] version of his Ion Cannon that transforms into an Energon Sword (or "Energy Blade"). Like all Voyager-class MechTech weapons, it can be locked in the "deployed" state.

**''Accessories:'' Two open hands, two fists, Energon sword, five guns

:Number 30 in the [[Revoltech]] Sci-Fi series, this non-transforming Optimus Prime is sculpted to resemble his [[Dark of the Moon]] appearance. His Energon sword (and the other weapons) can attach to several points on his body, or combine with the other weapons to form one giant unwieldy supergun.

{{comingsoontoy}}
{{-}}

==Notes==
*The inclusion of the Energon Sword in the 2007 ''Transformers'' movie was made after Hasbro/TakaraTomy's toy designs had been locked down, which is why the Optimus Prime toys released during the movie's run lacked the prominently featured melee weapon.
*Optimus's hand is visible underneath his sword when he begins slicing off The Fallen's face, making his toys show-accurate in this respect.
*Optimus holds his blade(s) in Dark of the Moon, rather than being equipped to his forearm. They also appear to be stored in his trailer as seen in the begininng of the film when he retrieves it from the trailer along with his shield.

:By the time ''Revenge of the Fallen'' rolled around, Hasbro/TakaraTomy had integrated the Energon Swords into Optimus Prime's arm design, resulting in a much more accurate depiction of the weapons. Triggered by a switch on the inner sides of his forearms, two Energon Swords flip out of the outer sides of his arms.

**''Accessories:'' Two open hands, two fists, Energon sword, five guns

:Number 30 in the [[Revoltech]] Sci-Fi series, this non-transforming Optimus Prime is sculpted to resemble his [[Dark of the Moon]] appearance. His Energon sword (and the other weapons) can attach to several points on his body, or combine with the other weapons to form one giant unwieldy supergun.

{{comingsoontoy}}
{{-}}

==Notes==
*The inclusion of the Energon Sword in the 2007 ''Transformers'' movie was made after Hasbro/TakaraTomy's toy designs had been locked down, which is why the Optimus Prime toys released during the movie's run lacked the prominently featured melee weapon.
*Optimus's hand is visible underneath his sword when he begins slicing off The Fallen's face, making his toys show-accurate in this respect.
*Optimus holds his blade(s) in Dark of the Moon, rather than being equipped to his forearm. They also appear to be stored in his trailer as seen in the begininng of the film when he retrieves it from the trailer along with his shield.

**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''004'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV12'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, missile launcher, [[NEST]]

:This release of [[Cyberverse]] Optimus Prime comes with a clip on trailer, sporting movie-style Autobot emblems, that can transform into a “Battle Base”/Strike Base and an “Assault Vehicle”/Mechanical Exosuit. Several Mech Tech ports are available on the trailer, and the removable missile launcher has handles for it to be held by smaller Cyberverse figures as well as a 5mm post for it to attach to larger figures.

:The Battle Base [[stock photo]]s (seen to the right) and instructions oddly do not match. The instructions show a different configuration, with the trailer panels facing backward and being connected to the sides of the "turret". Also, the cannon itself is pegged right-side up onto the turret instead of being connected upside-down on the hinge, and the base of the turret is raised high enough that Optimus doesn't have to kneel to man the cannon.

:Thanks to the fortuitous position of the base connectors on the trailer sides, said panels can connect for a pair of makeshift wings for the base if so desired.

:Like other action sets, Optimus Prime comes with a cardboard backdrop. In his case, it's the human-sized [[AllSpark]] containment room in [[Diego Garcia]], with three soldiers guarding said [[sacred implement]]. With Optimus being dwarfed by the soldiers, it should not be necessary to mention that this is ''extremely'' out-of-[[scale]].

{{factions|autobotfilm}}
{{disambig3|Jazz}}
:''Jazz is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MovieJazz promorender.jpg|right|350px|thumb|"Slide with me. Just bounce with me. Now freeze!"]]
[[second-in-command|First Lieutenant]] '''Jazz''' is one happy-go-lucky Autobot. Good-natured and always able to take things in stride, he provides a decent contrast to the more serious demeanor of [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] or [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] himself. He's also a talker, something Ironhide and Prime like to tease him about. He might be the smallest Autobot but he's by no means a coward, willing to take on any foe, big or small.

{{bigquote|Oh, I got something ''real'' flashy in mind!|Jazz gets ready to create a distraction, [[Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game]]}}

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance1 Ratchet Jazz vocalprocessors.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Kup and Ratchet like blaming turbo revvin' young punks.]]
Many years before the civil war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Jazz was a member of the Security Force under [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]]. As Optimus pondered the venerable age of the artifacts they had found at an excavation near the temple of [[Simfur]], Jazz jokingly asked if they were as old as [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], earning him a threat of [[vocal processor]]-disabling retribution and a whack on the back of the head. He was present when [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]]'s team found a strange artifact with the [[Decepticon|strange symbol]] and helped escort the relic out of the dig site when the aliens whom Commander [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] had encountered earlier suddenly attacked the planet. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}}

In the aftermath, Jazz accompanied Prowl as the latter investigated the attack on the Simfur temple. Prowl theorised that the aliens were trying to break into the temple, not destroy it, Jazz opined that they must have been after the [[AllSpark]]. When Megatron rallied Cybertron's inhabitants to war against the alien attackers, Jazz and most of the others in the science and security division loyally stayed at Optimus's side to uphold the ideals of Cybertron. Later, when Prime mentioned Megatron's questionable behavior and wished there was unity in the population, Jazz pointed out that he had the same chance of convincing Megatron to be unified as they do of being considered part of his army. Realising sentries such as Prowl and Jazz had access to Megatron's personal quarters, Prime asked them for a favour. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

Jazz accompanied Optimus and Prowl to Megatron's quarters, where Optimus discovered that the relic previously unearthed seemed to have been restored by Megatron himself. Later, Jazz was part of the team sent to arrest Optimus for treason. However, on the way to Trypticon, the group were ambushed by members of the [[Defense Force]] sent to kill them. Optimus directed the others in a successful counter attack and ordered the group to rally at [[Burthov]]. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

Jazz and several other former security officers helped [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] "capture" the former military officer [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and bring him into the rebel base to see Optimus '''Prime'''. Later after it was discovered that Megatron was building a [[Nemesis (ROTF)|massive starship]] for some unknown purpose, Jazz was the one who suggested they should have their own ship as well, just in case. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} As part of a crowd of Autobots, he later watched from a distance as the Decepticon ship was launched. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} During the subsequent civil war, Jazz fought alongside Optimus Prime in their struggle for freedom, but as the war reached its height, Optimus decided to launch the AllSpark into space to keep it out of Lord Megatron's hands and to buy them time. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] was successful in diverting the Decepticon leader's attention at [[Tyger Pax]], but was grievously injured as a result. Jazz was part of the team that discovered him in the wreckage after the Decepticons had left. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}}

As the Autobots prepared to leave Cybertron to go after Megatron and the AllSpark, Optimus Prime expressed concern on if the remaining civilians and Autobots on Cybertron could hold out while they were gone. Jazz informed him that their troops were laying low, but if the Decepticons tried any mischief, they would be in for a nasty surprise. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}
{{-}}

===''Ghosts of Yesterday'' prequel novel===
Onboard the ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]'', Jazz was the first to detect the ''[[Ghost 1|Ghost 1's]]'' presence, and the first to point out that, despite the Cybertronian elements in its design, it did not originate from Cybertron. He was in favor of blowing it up anyway, as he agreed with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] that there was a chance it could be a Decepticon ruse. After [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] was sent to follow the ship down to a nearby planet, Ironhide and Optimus joked that Jazz would have made a poor scout.

When [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] mounted an attack on the ''Ark'', Jazz and Ironhide backed up Optimus. Jazz was unhappy when the plan changed, and the two Autobots were sent back to guard the ship, but they got to expel [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] from the hangar, and had the damage done repaired by the time Optimus returned. Jazz lost contact with Bumblebee, resulting in Optimus going down to the planet to check. While Optimus was gone, the Decepticons attacked once again, and Jazz came up with a new plan. Jazz kept the Decepticons distracted, while Ironhide attempted to approach the ''[[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]'' through a sensor blind-spot.

Unfortunately the plan was ruined by the return of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and Jazz suffered a large amount of damage. Ironhide got the smaller Autobot back to the ''Ark'', where Jazz was insistent that situation was bad enough that they should leave the area without Optimus and Bumblebee, as Prime has originally ordered. As it turned out, the two missing Autobots returned in time for it to not turn into an issue, and Optimus ordered another engagement. Despite his severe damage, Jazz was able to take out [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] and help Ironhide fight Bonecrusher. {{storylink|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

===Titan Magazines ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Jazz likes "to keep his bodywork ''buff''" by externalizing his [[Spark]] Core forcefield - in the past, that led to him almost being killed when [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] almost tore out his unprotected Spark. He only survived thanks to fellow Autobot [[Clocker (Movie)|Clocker]], who was killed covering his retreat. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 6|Lost In Space 4: Jazz}}

When the [[AllSpark]] was launched, Jazz, [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] attempted to distract Megatron from pursuing it. They ended up attacked by [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] and warped across space by a [[foldspace warhead]]. {{storylink|Prelude: Megatron}}

[[Image:JazzTitan06.JPG|left|250px|thumb|"I HAVE SEEN THE LORD!"]]

Jazz ended up on a planet that he dubbed "the Information Highway"—a constantly-morphing world with "the accumulated knowledge of countless alien cultures, condensed into some kind of sensory precipitation". He loved this world and the constant new experiences so much that he deliberately ignored Ratchet's homing beacon, wanting to stay here forever. However, the planet was alive and predatory, and ended up absorbing him into it - he fired off a warning buoy to stop others arriving, and only this led to Ratchet & Ironhide finding where he was and rescuing him. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 6|Lost In Space 4: Jazz}}

He doesn't like the war and, as the Information Highway incident shows, has no qualms about deserting if given the opportunity.

Because of a lack of troops on [[Earth]], Ratchet used a corrupted fragment of the AllSpark to bring Jazz back to life.<ref name="allsparkjazzbio"> '''AllSpark-Enhanced Autobot Jazz''' bio</ref> Happy to be back, Jazz blew off the suggestion that death had made any impact beyond him wanting to live every day as if it was his last, and he was dispatched with Ratchet to secure a raw energon field.

[[Image:JazzTitan21.JPG|right|250px|thumb|"And my sound effects are inane!"]]

Unfortunately, it turned out the corrupted fragment had indeed led to Jazz himself being corrupted; he paralyzed Ratchet and attempted to exploit Earth's apocalypse by selling the newly energon rich planet to the highest bidder. His auction was interrupted by [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], who rejected an offer to join forces, and attacked. Ratchet revived and managed to destroy the energon field the auction was being held in; Jazz escaped in the resulting confusion. {{storylink|Dark Spark}}

He later kept back as a happy hired gun for [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], out to murder Optimus Prime. He was prevented from this when the ''second'' hired gun, [[Kullt]], turned up; he realised Starscream didn't trust him to be able kill an old comrade and was so insulted he gunned down the other mercenary. He was left rattled when Optimus pointed out he could have let Kullt do the work for him and ''then'' gun him down, which suggested there was still some goodness in him. He drove off in the face of reinforcements, vowing to prove Optimus wrong next time. {{storylink|Hard Target}}

[[Image:Movie2007 Jazz dealership.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Why buy? When you can be!]]
Jazz was part of Optimus Prime's unit, summoned to Earth by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] after the latter Autobot came to be in the possession of [[Sam Witwicky]]. After his [[protoform]] crashed through a baseball stadium, he investigated a nearby car dealership and chose a Pontiac Solstice hardtop as his vehicle mode.

[[Image:Jazz movie ally.JPG|right|250px|thumb|Sadly, the other car's owner only had liability.]]

Linking up with his fellow Autobots in a deserted alley, Jazz greeted Sam and [[Mikaela Banes]] as "little bitches," stating that Earth seems to be a cool place to hang out. He casually sat on the hood of another car while Optimus Prime explained to Sam they learnt Earth's languages through the internet. He then relayed their mission to find the [[AllSpark]] and explained how his [[Archibald Witwicky|grandfather's]] glasses were the key to its location.

Soon after, as Sam looked for his grandfather's glasses, the Autobots attempted to assist by clumsily destroying the yard where they went. When it came to hide from [[Ronald Witwicky|the]] [[Judy Witwicky|parents]], Jazz had the easiest time blending into the shadows due to his small stature.

[[Image:Movie Jazz Sector Seven.JPG|thumb|left|250px|You'll get them back at the end of class.]]
When Sam and Mikaela were captured by [[Sector Seven]], the Autobots mounted a rescue that saw Optimus Prime tearing the roof off [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons's]] vehicle. When the agents attempted to resist, Jazz used a magnet to relieve the humans of their weapons. After Bumblebee was captured by Sector Seven during the retreat, Jazz expressed his desire to rescue him, but was overruled by Optimus Prime, who didn't believe it possible to accomplish this without harming the humans, and so they should let them go.

The next day, after Optimus used his navigation scanner on Archibald Witwicky's glasses, Jazz again commented that they could not leave Bumblebee to die at the hands of Sector Seven, to become a human experiment. Optimus replied that Bumblebee would die in vain if they did not find the AllSpark, and when Ironhide asked if the primitive and cruel humans deserved to be saved, Optimus countered by asking if Transformers were so different in the past. Going on to explain what he saw in the humans, Prime declared that if it came to it, he would sacrifice himself to destroy the AllSpark - the humans should not pay for Cybertron's mistakes. Inspired by his words, Jazz and the other Autobots rolled out, filled with determination.

[[Image:Movie Jazz on Brawl.JPG|right|250px|thumb|"Come on, Decepticon punk!" "MY MISSILE LAUNCHER! That's like a reproductive organ to me!"]]

On the way to [[Hoover Dam]], the Autobots encountered Bumblebee leading a column of Sector Seven assault vehicles. Jazz and his fellow Autobots applied brakes and did a hard u-turn to join the formation.

Entering [[Mission City]], the [[William Lennox|human]] [[Robert Epps|soldiers]] tried to call for air support from their own forces, only to be attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] disguised as a human F-22 fighter. Jazz, oddly, sat in vehicle mode after the explosion which crippled Bumblebee, destroying his legs. When [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] began shelling the battle site, Jazz led the Autobot charge toward the Decepticon, speeding to the tank in vehicle mode, then transformed and hopped on top of the turret to distract the Decepticon from the humans. As Devastator also transformed, Jazz managed to wreck his left-side rocket launcher pod before being tossed off. He then sped back to the battle, firing at Devastator, while [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] sliced of Devastator's left arm.

[[Image:Jazz DyingAction.jpg|left|250px|thumb|"Wait, why did I tell everyone to retreat again?"]]

Jazz tried to delay [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] when he appeared on the scene in order to cover the escape Captain Lennox's men and civilians. Despite Lennox's cries for him to fall back, Jazz bravely faced Megatron alone, but all he got for his trouble was being blasted by the Decepticon's fusion cannon. As Ironhide and Ratchet escorted Sam and the AllSpark to safety, Megatron preyed upon the small Autobot who had the audacity to attack him. The Decepticon leader tossed him through the air, then landed upon him with the crushing grip of his talons. Valiantly, Jazz fought on to the bitter end as Megatron tore him in two, throwing his pieces to the ground before attacking Optimus Prime.

[[Image:Movie Prime Jazz Ironhide Ratchet battleaftermath.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"We lost a great comrade today. We'll miss you, Blues." "His name was ''Jazz'', Prime." "Whatever."]]

After being separated from Sam Witwicky, Ratchet hurried to Jazz, but his [[spark]] had already faded. In the aftermath of Megatron's defeat, Ironhide somberly handed Optimus Prime Jazz's remains as Ratchet reported that he could not save their comrade. The Autobot leader somewhat half-heartedly eulogized him, and quickly moved on. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

Before coming to Earth, Jazz was involved in a deep-space battle over a barren world. He was badly damaged in the conflict and was taken offline by Brawl. After he was fixed up and upgraded his endoskeleton reinforcements, he had a renewed determination to keep his vehicle mode in pristine condition.<ref>'''Premium series''' bio</ref>

Although he knew he didn't stand a chance, he would go down fighting for the weak, as a true Autobot would.<ref>'''Battle Jazz vs. Ice Megatron''' bio</ref>

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Jazz was left badly damaged as a result of those confrontations.

{{note|Jazz's fate in the film is about as unambiguous a depiction of a [[Death|Transformer death]] as one could hope for.

Later, in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' prequel comic, Optimus Prime asked to have Jazz's remains buried.

Jazz arrived on Earth as part of Optimus Prime's unit, summoned to the [[human]] planet by Bumblebee. After taking on the form of a Pontiac Solstice, he met up with the other Autobots. His first mission was to distract Sector Seven and law enforcement units, which he did, buying his fellow Autobots time to escape. Jazz was then surrounded by Sector Seven SUVs and Decepticon drones numerous times, requiring Ironhide's help to escape.

He would then make his way to [[Mission City]], where he engaged [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and two [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] drones. Jazz defeated all four of them, but as he celebrated his great victory, [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] appeared behind him and punctured Jazz's chest with his claw, extinguishing his [[spark]]. [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] arrived just in time to witness the killing, swore he'd make Brawl's death slow, and fought through a horde of Decepticon units to destroy him. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game}}

====Decepticon campaign====
Jazz arrived in Mission City with Sam and Mikaela (taking the role of the destroyed Bumblebee), where he was confronted by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

===''Transformers: Autobots''===
Jazz's first appearance is with the other Autobots, meeting in an old junk yard. Setting out into the city, he retrieved a number of [[Sector Seven]] vehicles before running into [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]; after a tedious battle, Blackout ran. Returning to the group, Jazz informs that Sector Seven holds Megatron and the AllSpark in the Hoover Dam and has patrols looking for the Autobots, which Bumblebee volunteered to distract them, getting himself caught in the progress. Jazz later upload a virus to access Sector Seven mainframe, and downloaded data from a military hangar. Jazz was able to get the data, despite being outnumbered by remote vehicles, returned to the rendezvous point, which he reported that he was able to find an entrance to the base and Bumblebee, but could not find Megatron and the AllSpark. Jazz tells Optimus that rescuing Bumblebee be their first priority because of Bumblebee's tracking ability, which Optimus agrees. When the Autobots returned to Tranquility with the AllSpark, Jazz required assistance to take out spark drones within the area. Create-A-Bot answered the call and both Autobots took out 50 drones. With the drones destroyed, Jazz stayed where he was in case more show up and told Create-A-Bot to check on Bumblebee. After that, he was not seen again. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Autobots}}

===''Transformers: Decepticons''===
At the [[Hoover Dam]], Jazz set up several automated turrets and Autobot drones around the lower perimeter of the Dam, preventing [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] from escaping. However, this line of defense only works for so long, as the turrets could only fire at air-borne objects. Finally getting up the side of the Dam, Jazz stepped in Megatron's path, doing little more than trash talking before Megatron jumped into battle. After a roughly equal fight, Jazz finally fell. Megatron then finished him off and desecrated the Autobot's corpse. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Autobots}}

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Jazz'''

:A much smaller version of the character, [[Legends Class|Legends-class]] Jazz features limited articulation and detail, along with a much simpler transformation. A rather glaring side-effect of this simplicity, in a desire to mimic the hood chest of the larger toy, is the addition of [[kibble]]: a second front bumper on the roof of his alt-mode. Whether this means Jazz also includes a second engine to go with this front bumper or an attempt at compensation for a case of [[Barricade (Movie)|police car envy]] is unknown. Ironically, the smallest version of Jazz is the biggest Legends toy in the movie line. Even bigger than Optimus. This may make up for the Arcee toy being taller than his Deluxe figure.

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Runamuck (ROTF)|Runamuck]].

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-04'''
**''Accessories'' Telescoping "sword" (rifle)

:Jazz transforms into a silver [[wikipedia:Pontiac_Solstice|Pontiac Solstice]] Custom Hardtop. Included is a blaster weapon that elongates into a sniper rifle, which may also be clipped directly onto his rear spoiler when in vehicle mode. In robot mode, the section featuring this same rear spoiler may be kept folded onto his back or worn on either shoulder as a shield. An interesting undocumented feature is a hinge joint located on the bottom of the rifle can attach to the ''shield's'' hinge joint, creating three different weapon configurations: ''(a)'' a mounted long range sniper rifle, ''(b)'' an ambidextrous shoulder-mounted cannon, or ''(c)'' a short range blaster with built-in shield somewhat akin to what has been seen in Jazz's concept art and in the movie itself.

:As with most of the mainline toys, he features a [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmick that is activated by pushing the car roof down onto his back and locking it into place. This raises his head and slides his chest panels into proper position for the robot mode. This feature, like the weaponry mentioned above, is not documented at all, so one must be careful to not press the chest ''and'' the back at the same time.

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Target Exclusive Deluxe, 2007)

:An extensive [[redeco]] of Deluxe class Jazz, this Target-[[exclusive]] is heavily based on ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz's]] Martini Racing scheme. He's lacking in Martini sponsorship for all the obvious reasons, replacing them with his own name. Disco Jazz doesn't really need to advertise, but he does.

:This figure also features a minor retool of the joint in the forearm. On the initial, mass retail release of Deluxe Jazz, the black hinge-joint was able to slide over slightly as part of the original design. The new version features a shorter joint, which makes it a lot less floppy in robot mode. [[Cyberfly|Cyberflies]] sold separately.

*'''Final Battle Jazz''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-14'''
**''Accessories:'' "Crescent Cannon", energy-blast missile

:An extensive retool of Jazz, modifying his head and most of his legs to give them a broken, battle-scarred appearance. Amusingly, because Hasbro chose to keep his vehicle mode pristine, the rest of his body is undamaged. All the damaged parts have a black and blue deco, representing glowing circuitry and exposed conduits.

:Jazz comes with a brand new spring-loaded weapon (called a ''Crescent Cannon'' on the packaging), partially modeled after the actual weapon Jazz appears with in the film. It can fire a transparent blue projectile and, not unlike his original featured weapon, can be mounted in different configurations: ''(a)'' Mounted on his ''right'' arm with the Crescent Cannon missile launcher (with the crescent up) facing forward a la the film, or ''(b)'' mounted on his ''left'' arm with the flip-out rifle barrel pointed forwards (with the crescent down). The cannon can actually be rotated on the connecting peg, allowing the gun to be mounted in either configuration on either arm.

:Unusual for a regular Deluxe class figure, this version of Jazz is packaged on his card in robot mode, no doubt to highlight the changes to the figure that would not be visible in the vehicle mode.

:In addition to the retooled forearm joint also found on the Target exclusive "G1 color" Jazz, a running change variant of Final Battle Jazz adds another peg to the Crescent Cannon, thus allowing Jazz to use the weapon in all the different configurations on either arm.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=40291 Original Allspark thread about the running change mold variant for Final Battle Jazz's Crescent Cannon]</ref>

:In spite of the claim that this is a "final battle" version of Jazz, his torso does not separate easily from his legs.

:This more movie-accurate version of Jazz sports a shinier coat of silver paint, along with added paint application detail to his robot mode parts. As it is a straight redeco, despite his coloration being far closer to the movie model, his weapon is still the old preliminary-art "sword" rather than the [[#FinalBattle|"Final Battle" version's]] much more screen-accurate shield/cannon (which is [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] with the battle damaged parts).

In vehicle mode he's kind of a squat and cutified Pontiac Solstice. His articulation is limited to his shoulders, hips and knees, and has a spring-loaded missile launcher in place of his left hand.

Like most Cyber Slammers, Jazz manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

====Robot Replicas====
[[Image:Movie RobotReplicas Jazz.jpg|right|200px|thumb|My hand picks up XM.]]
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Robot Replica, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' "Crescent cannon" rifle/shield, alternate left & right forearms

:As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] line, this version of Jazz is a non-transforming action figure that utilizes [[Revoltech]]-style jointing. The sculpt hews much closer to the movie CGI model than is possible with the full transforming toys, plus the universal jointing of the line allows for his forearm to be replaced with the included Crescent Cannon (which is also called that on the toy's packaging), or parts from other Robot Replica figures. Jazz's shoulders are actually mounted on the wrong sides of the toy as compared to the [[Transformers (2007)|Movie's]] CG design, but can easily swapped due to the toy's body construction.

====Titanium Series====
[[Image:Movie TitaniumRM Jazz.jpg|right|200px|thumb|"Are you looking at me?"]]
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (3" Robot Masters, 2007)
*''Accessories'' Movie-style Autobot sigil display stand

:''[[Titanium Series]]'' Jazz is a die-cast metal and plastic figurine, with an accurate sculpt based on the slender CG model owing to the fact he doesn't need to transform. Being a figurine, he only has articulation in his shoulders, neck and waist. Jazz is sculpted with a small handgun that was only featured in concept art early in film development that still showed Arcee as part of the main cast. Jazz comes with a Movie-style Autobot symbol display stand, as is expected.

:This mold was also used to make the [[Toys"R"Us]]-exclusive ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Titanium Series [[Dead End (ROTF)|Dead End]].

===''Transformers'' (2010)===
====Human Alliance====
[[Image:TF2010 HumanAlliance Jazz&Lennox.jpg|thumb|right|300px| Hasbro DOES listen to the fans!]]
*'''Autobot Jazz / Captain Lennox''' (Human Alliance 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-32'''
**''Accessories:'' Motorcycle/"Shielded blaster", missile

: [[Human Alliance]] Jazz comes with [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]], who can interact with him in various ways.

: Firstly, a motorcycle and a missile is included, with the missile being stored by plugging it to the side of the motorcycle, acting as an exhaust pipe, although it detaches easily. The motorcycle can also be transformed into a spring-loaded, projectile-firing "Shielded blaster" resembling Jazz's Crescent Cannon and attached to his arm. Lennox can ride the motorcycle in either mode, with a different set of handlebars to grip in each mode.

: As usual, Lennox (or any other Human Alliance figure) can be seated inside Jazz in vehicle mode. In robot mode, the seats become his feet, which Lennox can still sit on. The leg panels near his feet each feature a small, flip-out, double-barreled weapon at the tip which, when the panels are flipped down, provide Lennox with an over-the-shoulder restraint with guns attached.

: Finally, Jazz has a switch on the back of his head that flips his visor up and down, giving us a rare glimpse of his sculpted eyes. Unfortunately, it is painted the same bronze color as most of his face, so you might have to squint to see them.

: The Japanese release sees the transparent blue plastic used for the windows and the visor switched for clear plastic on the windows and orange for the visor.

: Despite his small vehicle mode, he's actually quite tall for a Human Alliance figure, being roughly as tall as Barricade at the head. He's also quite decked out in [[paint operation]]s, being slathered in silver paint, with a bit of bronze and gold to boot.

: His packaging [[stock photography]] shows him minimally mis-transformed, with his front grille left unrotated. His [[instructions]] also haphazardly tell you to pull the hood up and out ''before'' you detach and pull his front wheels/shoulders apart, a feat which is ''excruciatingly'' hard to accomplish. It is actually ''much'' easier to pull the hood ''after'', when the small tabs on the hood aren't locked to the wheels/shoulders on the sides.

: Captain Lennox uses a more simplified design than other Human Alliance figures, with the waist and wrist joints omitted, meaning that he is unable to grip the horizontal handle on the shoulder cannon with his vertically-aligned hands.

===''Dark of the Moon''===
[[Image:DOTM Movie Autobot Jazz.JPG|thumb|right|300px|]]
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' Telescoping "sword" (rifle)

:A [[Target]]-[[exclusive]] redeco of the original Autobot Jazz mold, with the original tooling of hinge joints between the folding car hood plates that form the forearms. He is cast in smokey grey translucent plastic and features black [[Cyberglyphics]]. His weapon is cast in opaque grey with copperish telescoping lance.

:He comes with a comic book by [[IDW Publishing]], ''[[Transformers: Jazz]]''.

[[Image:3DBattleCard_Jazz.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]
*'''Jazz''' (3D Battle-Card, 2007)
**''Card number'': '''5'''

: Jazz is a 37-point "Rare" piece in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]. Constructed of punch-out pieces from plastic cards, he can be assembled into his sports car or robot mode. He uses the same construction as the [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]], [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]], [[Blurr (Armada)|''Armada'' Blurr]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)|Generation 1 Hot Rod]] cards.

*'''Autobot Ratchet and Autobot Jazz''' (2008)

:The Ratchet and Jazz turnaround is a 3D sculpture of the two characters, both in robot mode, emerging from rubble and explosions, with a movie-accurate sculpt (compared to the various transforming toys). The "turnaround" aspect of these sculptures simply means one can turn the piece around to display a raised-relief of the movie-style Autobot sigil instead.

:This product's release was canceled for the US market, but was released in Central America, Australia and in Asia.

====Transformers Movie Danglers====
[[Image:Movie Jazz Dangler.jpg|right|159px|thumb|]]
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (2007)

:Released by [[Tomy Yujin]] in November 2007<ref name="TomyYujin">[http://www.gachausa.com/products/transformers.asp Tomy Yujin ''Transformers'' page]</ref> as part of the [[Danglers Collection]], this toy is a weird plastic [[super-deformed]] version of Jazz that pops out his vehicle mode when you squeeze him, kinda like he's either giving birth to it or...er, excreting it. Classy. This little figurine has a little strap on it so that it can be put on cell phones or portable gaming devices.

[[Image:ROTF-toy_RPM_Jazz_vs_Brawl.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]
*'''Autobot Jazz Vs. Decepticon Brawl''' (2009)
**''Number:'' '''02 of 08'''

:[[Robot Powered Machines]] Jazz is a small non-transforming Pontiac Solstice Custom Hardtop with his robot mode sculpted on the car's underside. He was only available in a two-pack with [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]].

===Robot Heroes===

: This pack of cutely sculpted figurines features an oddly brown-coloured [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]].
{{-}}

[[Image:Rhjazzbrawl.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Yeah, um, that sure is Jazz.]]
*'''Protoform Jazz vs. Decepticon Brawl''' (2007)

:This ''Robot Heroes'' pack features a cutely murderous figurine of Brawl, and Jazz in his "[[Protoform]]" mode. Considering the generic nature of the protoforms, Protoform Jazz can easily represent any of his other three companions who crash landed to Earth. Like many Robot Heroes, he's jointed at the shoulders and neck.
{{-}}

[[Image:Robotheroesfinalbattle.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Hi, then die.]]
*'''The Final Battle''' (2008)

: Packaged with Autobot Ratchet, Megatron, Blackout, and Optimus Prime, "Battle Damage" Jazz is a slightly redecoed version of the first two pack version. His exclusive deco involves a black paint wash and black-lined cracks over a shiny silver painted finish. The Final Battle 5-pack was sold exclusively in Wal-Mart stores.
{{-}}

[[Image:Robotheroesjazzmegatron.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Okay, this is getting ridiculous.]]
*'''Battle Jazz vs. Megatron''' (2008)

:Once again the first Jazz sculpt is given a battle damage deco. This time black cracks and starbursts are painted over dull unpainted silver plastic.
{{-}}

==Notes==
[[Image:Movie Jazz armswordconcept.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Cool melee weapon in the game, totally non-existent in the movie.]]
* The packaging text for the Deluxe Jazz figure refers to his weapon as a "telescoping sword". As ridiculous as this sounds, considering this weapon ''looks'' like a firearm and can attach to his spoiler in vehicle mode as such, this very idea actually comes from concept drawings of a sword weapon featured on the same concept art that also had Jazz showcasing the short range blaster/shield thingy both featured in the film and included with his Final Battle retool. So, ''really''...not that ridiculous anymore.

* According to a press kit sent out in conjunction with the movie, Jazz has a "near-perfect recordable memory that makes him invaluable as a documenter of battles" and is "equipped with a fusion engine that allows him to reach sub-light speeds in vehicle mode." [http://numberonestars.com/transformers/production/autobots.htm] One, uh, would ''hope'' a Pontiac Solstice would be travelling at ''sub''-light speeds...

* During the final battle in [[Mission City]], there's a long period during which Jazz is not doing ''anything''. He's standing around in vehicle mode when Ironhide notices that the F-22 flying above the city is Starscream, stays in vehicle mode when Ironhide and Bumblebee pick up a Furby delivery truck for cover, ''still'' remains in vehicle mode when Starscream blasts them, and after Sam discovers that Bumblebee has lost his legs, all Jazz does is pull back for a few feet to give Bumblebee space to crawl. In the end, Jazz doesn't really join the battle ''at all'' until Brawl shows up.

[[Image:MovieJazzBarricadeLicensePlates.jpg|thumb|180px|right|Hey, who gave me Barricade's license plate?]]
* In an earlier draft of the movie script, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] was supposed to "consume" the sparks of Autobots he killed. A remainder of this can be found in the novelization and the IDW comic adaptation of the movie, which both explicitly state that Megatron tears out Jazz's spark. In the movie itself, however, Megatron simply appears to kill Jazz by ripping him apart at the waist, even though [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] was previously able to survive as a detached head. However, a recent rejiggering of Frenzy's biology makes this a moot point.

*Jazz's manner of speech is a late development. In the early script draft his first line in the film is simply saying "Greetings" to the humans.

* Though it is very brief, Jazz does indeed get a face close-up during the Mission City battle when he is shot by Megatron and falls over in pain, before he is ripped in half.

* The Pontiac Solstice prop car used for the movie sports the [[license plate]] "664 NLZO", without a state-specific registration. Although barely identifiable during his transformation before his fight with [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]], the car on display at GM Riverwalk in Detroit in June 2007 sported the same plate.<ref name="jazzgmriv">[http://www.flickr.com/photos/jalopnik/592023523/ Pontiac Solstice prop car on display at GM Riverfront in Detroit in June 2007], Jalopnik photo at Flickr</ref> His robot CG model sports the license plate "1-4027E" instead... which also happens to be [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]'s license plate in vehicle mode. The license plate can be briefly glimpsed in the movie when Barricade slows down after having seemingly cornered Bumblebee, but is more clearly seen in set photos.

* In an appeal to his better nature in [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Titan]], Optimus said part of him was "still Autobot Jazz", a reference to the name of the Jazz toys.

* Jazz was included in the downloadable content for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the Revenge of the Fallen game. Apparently over-compensating for not being in the movie, Jazz is pretty much the most dangerous robot ever. If you play against him, just run.

* In both of his console game appearances for the [[Transformers The Game (console)|first movie game]] and [[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|the second]], Jazz was not seen wearing his iconic visor.

* Jazz is killed by three completely different Decepticons. He's killed by Megatron in the movie, while [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] is the one that kills the Autobot in the Autobot campaign and a [[Barricade (Movie)|fake law enforcer]] kills him in the Decepticon campaign in the Transformers 2007 video game.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)

2011-10-17T12:06:36Z

58.69.198.148: /* Action Set */

{{Nav-dotm}}
The '''''Transformers: Dark of the Moon''''' toyline coincides with the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|third]] film in [[Michael Bay]]'s [[live-action film series]]. The line is divided into three brandings: the [[MechTech]] line for Deluxe, Voyager, Leader, Ultimate and [[Human Alliance]] class size toys; the [[Cyberverse]] subline featuring [[Legends Class]] characters, Commander Class (new price point, effectively replacing Scouts) and play sets; and [[Robo Power]], a catch all line for various merchandise including role play.

The figures also come in ''3'' [[transformation (toys)| transformation]] difficulty levels, changed from the original 5 in the [[Transformers: Generations|''Generations'']] and [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] toylines.

Hoo hey, [[Starscream (Movie)|'''Starscream''']] has a buttload of toys!

{{charstubtoys|Pics, details, etc.}}

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Legends Starscream.jpg|right|250px|thumb|A gold paint job can't hide the lameness.]]
*'''Starscream''' (Legends Class, 2007)

: Legends-class Starscream is a highly simplified, low-cost version of Starscream in his F-22 Raptor body. As such, he has a greatly compromised transformation sequence due to the smaller parts count, with limited articulation and detailing. He's also the bronzest F-22 Raptor Starscream toy there is.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]].

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Allspark Legends pack.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Tiny toys are tiny. And they don't do Starscream justice.]]
*'''Battle for the Allspark''' (Toys'R'Us exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

: A Toys R Us exclusive, this six-pack of Legends class figures contains unmodified toys of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], Starscream and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

{{-}}
{{anchor|Allspark2pack}}
[[Image:Movie-toy_Legends_StealthStarscream.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Back in black!]]
*'''Nightwatch Optimus Prime vs. Stealth Starscream''' (Legends Allspark Battles two-pack, 2008)

: The previously released Legends-class Starscream toy is redecoed predominantly black and silver, somewhat resembling ''Generation 1'' [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]. Oddly enough, the paint applications are identical to the regular toy. He comes with a redeco Legends-class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] in his Nightwatch color scheme.

{{-}}

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:MovieProtoform Starscream toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Gold Plastic Syndrome just waiting to happen.]]
*'''Protoform Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-05'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun with missile and flame attachment

:Based upon the "Protoform" (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the movie, Protoform Starscream transforms into his "entry" mode Cybertronic rocket thing. This mode somewhat resembles a Cybertronic spaceship, with a visible bridge between the two dorsal fins. A flame decoration piece fits onto the back of the "vehicle" over the missile projectile, creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail . The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. In robot mode, Starscream marginally resembles previous Starscreams, mostly G1 Starscream, with the large turbines on his chest, wings and vents on his legs. Due to his extensive use of ball joints, he has excellent articulation.

:Starscream is armed with a spring-loaded missile launcher that fires the previously mentioned projectile cast in the same bronze color as his body. Alternatively, the flame decoration can be fitted onto the end of the barrel. The flame can also be placed onto the missile, using both at once. However, in some cases, the flame does not have a snug fit on the missile and falls off easily. This makes firing the missile rather awkward and makes the gun look extremely goofy.

:This toy also has an [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature, as most of the figures in the main line do. Pushing his head back during transformation will move his shoulder pieces back into place, while moving the shoulders forward will make the head pop back up.

: It's also entirely possible that this figure will eventually suffer from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome|GPS]], as the bronze plastic it is cast in has the same characteristic swirling exhibited by older figures that rapidly deteriorated. However, newer materials and processes may prevent the toy from ever seeing a single crack form. It is highly suggested that this toy not be painted or altered in any way to maximize its lifespan.

[[Image:ProtoformStarscreamProto.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Brought down from second place.]]
: The card back [[stock photo]] of Protoform Starscream features a completely different deco, with silver replacing all the bronze. It also has a different, earlier head sculpt. (See [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Notes|Notes]] below)

{{anchor|Fusioncluster}}
[[Image:FusionClusterOptimusStarscream.jpg|thumb|300px|Great Cybertron! I look '''delicious!''']]
*'''Protoform Starscream Fusion Cluster Edition''' (C3xHobby Convention exclusive Deluxe, Japan 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Gun with missile and flame attachment

:An extensive redeco of the Protoform Starscream mold that was exclusively available at the Japanese C3xHobby Convention in August of 2007, and later offered by [[e-Hobby]] in limited quantities. Most of the body is made out of transparent orange plastic, while orange and yellow paint are used on the front end of the "entry" mode, mimicking the heat effects of sudden atmospheric entry. The flame attachment is made out of clear ''blue'' plastic, with the tail end being covered in ''gold'' paint.

{{-}}

{{anchor|LuckyDrawProtoform}}
*'''Gold Protoform Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Gun with missile and flame attachment

:This gold [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] Protoform Starscream figure was featured as a [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] giveaway (along side similarly gold vac-metal versions of Voyager class Optimus Prime and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#LuckyDrawProtoform|Protoform Optimus Prime]]) in the December 2007 issue of ''TV Magazine''. Released in 2008, only 5 pieces were made.

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Voyager Starscream toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Shake hands with danger.]]
*'''Starscream''' (Voyager, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Six missiles

: The Voyager-class version of Movie Starscream transforms into an officially-licensed [[wikipedia:F-22|Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor fighter jet]], albeit in beige.

:Pushing the fighter along a smooth surface causes the missile-launching barrels to rotate and fire their projectiles, which can also be stored in the black flip-up braces on the launchers. During transformation, pushing up upon the canopy fuselage piece activates Starscream's [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmick, which pushes panels out of the torso, wings and stabilizers. In robot mode, Starscream is mostly faithful to his movie CGI model, except for being bulkier around his chest, lacking engines on his back and having the very large Gatling cannons serve as his arms (a facsimile of his much slenderer weapons from the movie). Interestingly, his projectile missiles are sculpted to resemble fingers, should users choose to keep them loaded while Starscream is in robot mode. An interesting note is that [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle's]] (or Camshaft's) hands, when detached, make a snug fit in between the three main cannons; if you're feeling sillier, ''Legends'' [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron's]] shoulder does, too. Go on, try it yourself, yes, we'll wait...

:This toy was later retooled and [[Redeco|redecoed]] into Movie [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]], ROTF [[Ramjet (Movie)|Ramjet]] and, ROTF [[Skywarp (ROTF)|Skywarp]].

{{-}}
*'''Battle damage three-pack''' (Sam's Club exclusive three-pack, 2007)

:A three-pack, exclusive to Sam's Club stores, consisting of redecos of Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and Deluxe Class [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], both with a battle damage deco, and an unchanged Voyager Class Starscream.

{{-}}
[[Image:Starscream target.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"The first G1 fan who complains gets a minigun... to the face."]]
*'''Starscream''' (Target exclusive Voyager-sized toy, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Six missiles

: An extensive redeco of Voyager class Starscream available only as a Target [[exclusive]], this version is [[Redeco|redecoed]] in a color scheme based upon ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. This version of Starscream shares the retooled version of this mold with Movie Thundercracker, giving Starscream a new, vaguely G1-ish head sculpt. The packaging for this toy explains that Starscream altered his appearance following his escape at the end of the film in order to avoid detection.

{{-}}
[[Image:Starscream Vardia red.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Pinkscream]]
*'''Starscream Vardia Red Model''' (Toshiba exclusive Voyager-sized toy, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Six missiles

: In a joint venture by Paramount Home Entertainment Japan and electronics giant [[wikipedia:Toshiba|Toshiba]], Starscream Vardia Red Model is an exclusive redeco of Voyager Starscream only available with Toshiba's new ''Vardia'' RD-A301 HD DVD recorder. The package also comes with an HD-DVD copy of ''Transformers'', five HD DVD-R and five DVD-R discs.

:Starscream Vardia Red Model is '''extremely''' red, with some gold, a little black and Toshiba ''Vardia'' markings on his hull. With the player costing 100,000 yen at the time, this may be the most expensive ''Transformers'' exclusive to be released in relatively large quantities.

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie DeepSpaceStarscream toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|I'm Starscream, and I can breathe in space. ]]
*'''Deep Space Starscream''' (Target exclusive "Premium Series" Voyager, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Six missiles

:A Target exclusive (But appeared in European retail in 2009), Deep Space Starscream is a redeco of the first version of Voyager class Starscream, based upon the colours used by [[Industrial Light & Magic]] on Starscream's CGI model (instead of the totally made up and inaccurate tan colouring on the previous release). As such he is metallic silver with complementary greys in fighter mode, including the 'First Fighter' (FF) squadron markings indicating he is an F-22 Raptor from [[wikipedia:Langley_Air_Force_Base|Langley Air Force Base]]. In robot mode reveals gold paint inside his chest detailing and red for circuitry detailing. His eyes are painted film-accurate red, but the rest of the [[Light-piping]] that makes up the back of his head is left uncolored, making the glowing eye effect no longer work while STILL retaining the miscolored bronzed glass color that the clear plastic was molded in. If one wanted to restore the light piping, though, the paint is fairly easy to remove.

: Deep Space Starscream is presented in 'Premium Octagonal' packaging very similar to Robo-Vision Optimus Prime. Even though Hasbro officially considers him as part of the Premium Series, this is not indicated anywhere on the packaging.

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:Movie FAB Starscream.jpg|right|300px|thumb|You are the Dragon Booster Artha!]]
*'''Battle Blade Starscream''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''QC-02'''

: [[Fast Action Battler|Fast Action Battlers]] "Battle Blade" Starscream transforms into a somewhat superdeformed F-22 Raptor, simplifying the overall design to the point of his feet noticeably sticking out the aft of the fighter, and has a truncated transformation sequence reminiscent of past Transformers such as ''Generation 1'' [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and ''Cybertron'' [[Thundercracker (Armada)|Thundercracker]]. Rather than having a separate weapon, he only has a claw-like blade that flips over the right hand (hence "Battle Blade") and non-removable missiles in the palms of his hands.

: This toy was later redecoed as [[Ramjet (Movie)|Claw Slash Ramjet]].

: There is a Korean [[Knockoff|fake]] of this model going around, under the name of "Latent Spider". Fortunately no real spiders have been found latent inside the toy.

{{-}}

====Other toys====
*'''Starscream''' (Little Red Rooster Meal, 2007)

:One of five toys that was available at Red Rooster, an Australian based fast food chain. This kids meal toy is a black F-22 Raptor with a silver canopy that transforms by simply flipping the jet around to reveal the gray robot mode underneath, pulling down the landing gear and legs, and standing him upright.

{{picsneeded}}

===Revenge of the Fallen===
====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:Starscream ROTF Legends toy.jpg|right|thumb|300px|So I wake up with a hangover and find all these tattoos all over me. Damn parties.]]
*'''Starscream''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-04'''

:Legends class Starscream is a redeco of [[#Legends Class toys|2007's Legends class Starscream]], the main difference being a mostly single main colour scheme (compared to 2007's rather random colour choices) and the ''Revenge of the Fallen''-specific Cyberglyph tattoos.

:For some odd reason, his card back depicts how to transform him from his alt-mode to his robot mode; as all Legends are packaged in robot mode, wouldn't robot-to-vehicle work better?

*'''Smokescreen''' vs. '''Starscream''' (Legends 2-pack, 2010)

:Starscream is a redeco of 2007's Legends class Starscream. He came packaged with [[Smokescreen (Movie)#Legend|Smokescreen]] as a [[Target]] [[exclusive]] as part of the [[NEST Global Alliance]] [[subline imprint]]. His paint scheme appears to be inspired by the [[Kmart]] exclusive Voyager class [[#Nebular|"Nebular Starscream" redeco]].

:''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager class Starscream is far more accurate to the movie model in both modes than the previous movie's Voyager mold, with a more dramatic transformation scheme to boot.

:In robot mode, Starscream has two arm-mounted, spring loaded missile launchers sculpted to resemble his [[wikipedia:M61_Vulcan|M61A2 Vulcan 20 mm rotary cannons]]. These weapons end up underneath and facing backwards in vehicle mode. He also has a [[Mech Alive]] gimmick, which is linked between his head and chest; when you turn his head, the gears in his chest spin.

:He has amber light piping for his eyes, but they've been painted over in red.

[[Image:ROTFtoy-StarscreamVoyager-popoutlaunchers.jpg|left|thumb|150px|I had more joints!]]

:According to the [[stock photography|stock photos]] of the hand-painted [[prototype]] (seen at left), Starscream's hands originally had a joint down the middle of his palms, possibly to facilitate in hiding them in fighter mode. His arm-mounted cannons were also originally separate parts from his forearms, jointed to move back and forth, again possibly to hide them in fighter mode. However this was [[design change|changed]] for the final toy, with the hands now molded as one piece and unable to be hidden in vehicle mode, and his cannons' details (including the joints) simply molded directly onto his arms. His knee caps were also originally a separate movable piece and not joined to his upper leg. It is assumed that all this was done for cost cutting. His packaging call-outs (excepting Europe) still claim that he has "pop out missile launchers," despite this gimmick's removal. The toy's [[instructions]] include a superfluous "flip down hands" step, and depict the missile launchers extended with partially-folded hands when describing the missile-launch action.

:A [[redeco]] of the new-mold ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Voyager class Starscream, Nebular Starscream is a "powered up" version of Starscream (with his packaging going so far as to promote his "exclusive powered-up paint job"). He was [[exclusive]] to [[Kmart]] stores in North America.

*'''Sword Slash Starscream''' (Fast Action Battler, 2009)

: Sword Slash Starscream is a redeco of the 2007 Battle Blade Starscream, with the plane parts colored gray and covered in cyberglyphics and the robot parts colored bronze. His flip-out blade is now purple.

*'''Starscream''' (Gravity Bot, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GB-03'''

: As a [[Gravity Bot]], this Starscream features no articulation at all, but relies wholly on a gravity-based [[autotransformation]] gimmick. When laid down on a flat surface, Starscream will transform into a [[super deformed]] F-22, while standing him on his feet again will switch him to robot mode.

*'''The Victory of The Fallen''' (Kmart Exclusive Legends 5-pack, 2010)

:Starscream is a redeco of the original 2007 mold in a gunmetal color with a yellow cockpit canopy. He comes with redecos of [[The Fallen]], [[Megatron (Movie)/toys|Megatron]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]], and [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]].

*'''Starscream's Assault''' (Figure two-pack, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

:This [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] two-pack is based upon the scene in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' where Starscream pursues [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] and [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] in Egypt. The Voyager class Starscream toy features a much brighter plastic colour and has "battle damage" scorch mark paint decos. Mudflap features a weathered, sandblasted deco.

====Leader Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF-toy leader Starscream.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"NO ONE DEFEATS [[Bill Rawley|BILL RAAAWLEY"]]]]
*'''Starscream''' (Leader, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Cannon, 2 missiles

:Like the various figures released earlier, Leader-class Starscream transforms into an officially licensed Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor fighter jet, decoed in a gunmetal-like gray and covered in Cybertronian tattoos to more accurately reflect his on-screen appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' than his Voyager-class toys. In robot mode, either of Starscream's hands can fold down to accommodate a spring-loaded cannon that fires one of two included projectiles; both missiles and the cannon can be stored via pegs on his back. In Raptor mode, the launcher stores in a space on the underside, and can be flipped out to fire his missiles from underneath. Starscream also features two flip-out, non-firing weapons on his forearms: a cannon resembling an M61 Vulcan on the right, and two generic missiles on the left.

:Starscream's primary gimmick in this size is the addition of electronic lights and sounds. Pulling down on his canopy in robot mode opens chest panels and his mouth and produces one of two phrases: "Decepticons will crush the Autobots!" and "No one can defeat Starscream!" in the version released in the United States, and simply "Decepticons!" and "Starscream!" in the version released in rest of the world, including most of the version released in Canada, Mexico, and Latin America. Additionally, the canopy activates LEDs which light up Starscream's clear, red eyes and various other portions of clear, amber plastic in his chest. During transformation, a button is activated, causing the toy to play a four-note version of the transformation noise. In Raptor mode, Starscream's lights and sounds are activated by a Decepticon sigil-covered button on the top of the jet. In addition to lighting the canopy and turbines, this button plays two sounds: either generic jet engine noises or Starscream's voice saying either "No one can defeat Starscream!" (US) or simply "Starscream!" (International).

:An important step was left out of the instructions concerning how to transform Starscream to robot mode. A flap attaches from the fuselage to the cockpit section. To disconnect this part, the cockpit window has to be lifted using notches on the side. Otherwise, you cannot flip the front of the jet forward.

====Activators====
[[Image:Activators_MovieStarscream.jpg|thumb|300px| Starscream, you're "kawaii" now, so I have to warn you about the [[fandom| fangirls.]]]]
*'''Starscream''' (Activator, 2010)

:[[Activators]] Starscream is a small toy with cutesified proportions in both robot and F-22 modes. His transformation is greatly simplified, with most of the jet parts just hanging off his back in robot mode. Like all Activators, Starscream features button-activated [[autotransformation]] from jet to robot. While the card's photography shows Starscream as having rolling wheels for landing gear, the final has the landing gear molded in one piece with the legs, probably due to budget cuts.

**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher, 2 missiles

:''[[Masterpiece]]'' Starscream is a redeco of Leader Class ''Transformers'' (2010) Starscream without the Cybertronian glyphs on his body, and instead has an extensive, detailed paint scheme that matches his appearance in the [[Transformers (2007)|first live action movie]] and the F-22 Raptors of the [[United States Air Force|USAF]] First Fighter Wing from [[wikipedia:Langley_Air_Force_Base|Langley Air Force Base]]. Starscream comes with a mini-comic by [[Simon Furman]] and [[Guido Guidi]], titled ''[[Unite for the Universe issue 1|Unite for the Universe]]''.

**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''002'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV03'''
**''Accessories:'' missile launcher, missile, [[Chicago]]
:A brand-new [[Cyberverse]] Legion-class mold, Starscream comes with an [[Orbital Assault Carrier|“Assault Craft”]] similar to the kind the Decepticons use in the film. Starscream himself is much more movie-accurate, better proportioned, and well articulated, capable of rotating his thighs, bending his arms, and raising his shoulders.

:Like the previous movie's Voyager figure, Starscream's hands stick out of the back of the vehicle mode. Also, while landing gear is molded on both the undercarriage and the nose of the jet, the odd layout of robot parts in vehicle mode means they can't all rest on a flat surface at once.

**''Accessories:'' Gun

:[[Exclusive]] to [[Toys"R"Us]], this four pack contains two Bumblebee and two Starscream Cyberverse Legion toys. Cybertronian Starscream is a redeco of [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'']] [[Legends Class]] [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], while the other Starscream is a redeco and retool of the 2007 [[Movie (toyline)|''Transformers'']] Legends class toy, partially cast in translucent plastic and painted with grid lines, presumably to simulate a [[trans-scan]] effect. This Starscream also comes with ''[[Robot Masters (franchise)|Robot Masters]]'' [[R-Blade]]'s gun, which can be held in his newly retooled left hand.

:The Starscreams come packed with a retool of [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'']] Legends Class [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Bumblebee]] and a redeco of ''[[Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Legends Class]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Bumblebee]]

:This is a redeco of the ''Dark of the Moon'' Legion class Starscream that was first available in the Orbital Assault Carrier Action Set. The deco on this release does away with the Cybertronian tattoos and replaces them with a normal F-22 Raptor colour scheme, much like Starscream's appearance in the 2007 ''Transformers'' live-action movie.

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:DOTMtoy-StarscreamDeluxe.jpg|right|thumb|300px|I brought a knife to a shrink ray fight.]]
*'''Starscream''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD02'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 MechTech Null Ray Cannons/Swords

:''Dark of the Moon'' Starscream is a brand-new sculpt, transforming into a surprisingly accurate F-22 Raptor. In spite of being at a much smaller scale than previous Voyager-class Starscreams, his parts hide much better into his vehicle mode. His incredibly flexible arms have joints at the shoulder, in the middle of the upper arm, elbow, and wrist, allowing them to neatly fold up for transformation, as well as scratch his own back.

:He comes with two [[MechTech]] weapons, with one weapon being static and the other being functional. Both weapons are double-sided, featuring a "[[Null-ray]] cannon" barrel (which looks like a machine-gun barrel) on one side and a "sword" on the other. Pushing forward the scope on the functional weapon will cause the sword weapon to extend, increasing its reach. The peg and cannon barrel on the static weapon correspond to the peghole and the hole of the scope of the functional weapon, meaning his null rays can combine to form a double bladed weapon that's way taller than he is. This means that he is one of the few Deluxe figures to have a MechTech weapon that can remain locked in both modes. Awesome.

:This mold was later redecoed into [[Thundercracker (Movie)#Dark of the Moon|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (ROTF)|Skywarp]]. His MechTech weapons were [[retool]]ed into [[Darksteel]]'s weapons.

====Voyager Class toys====

:A [[Target]]-[[exclusive]] redeco of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Starscream, he is now grey with red detailing and more subdued, silver tatoos. Early assortments had the red parts cast in solid plastic, but a [[running change]] shortly there after corrected this, and replaced all the red parts with translucent plastic.

:He comes packed with a comic book by [[IDW Publishing]], ''[[Transformers: Starscream]]''.

* '''Starscream''' ("Pocket Transformers" toy prize, 2007)

:Free inside specially marked boxes of Oscar Meyer Lunchables dinners, Starscream is one of six "Pocket Transformers" toy prizes. Molded in green, his tablet unfolds to reveal a picture of his robot mode inside. His name is also spelled out, across his feet in this mode.

: This mold was also used to create the lunchables figure for [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. A similar mold was used to create the Lunchables figure for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], though with the Autobot symbol sculpted in instead of the Decepticon one. Each iteration of this mold was made with a different color of plastic.

===Burger King===
*'''Starscream''' Burger King free toy (2007)

:A non-transformable version of Starscream, cast primarily in chalk-grey plastic. It can rotate its arms at the shoulder. The toy's main gimmick, though, is the wheel in his chest. Striking the wheel causes it to advance to the next slot, revealing damage to Starscream's torso. A second tap reveals even more damage. Despite being a free pack-in toy, the figure is surprisingly well molded, having well defined head parts and the twin afterburners on his back that even the Voyager version lacks. It even has six fingers (or rather, four fingers and two thumbs) on each hand!

*'''Armored Bumblebee vs. Starscream''' (2007)

:Robot Heroes Starscream is sculpted in a crouching pose, possibly inspired by his landing when talking to Megatron in the film. He has the standard Robot Heroes articulation of both shoulders and his neck, however the pre-posed nature means his right arm is really more useful as a support than a usable joint.

{{-}}
[[Image:RH Movie Bumblebee Starscream.jpg|right|300px|thumb|It's my turn to use the Rubik's Cube, Bumblebee!]]
*'''Bumblebee vs. Starscream''' (2008)

:This version of Starscream is almost a prelude to the previous one, as he's now sculpted in a touching down pose as opposed to a full land. Like the previous mold, it has articulation at the shoulders and neck. Unfortunately, the left arm is lifted straight out to side, allowing him to rotate the arm but not pose it.

====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Legends Starscream.jpg|right|250px|thumb|A gold paint job can't hide the lameness.]]
*'''Starscream''' (Legends Class, 2007)

: Legends-class Starscream is a highly simplified, low-cost version of Starscream in his F-22 Raptor body. As such, he has a greatly compromised transformation sequence due to the smaller parts count, with limited articulation and detailing. He's also the bronzest F-22 Raptor Starscream toy there is.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]].

: The previously released Legends-class Starscream toy is redecoed predominantly black and silver, somewhat resembling ''Generation 1'' [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]. Oddly enough, the paint applications are identical to the regular toy. He comes with a redeco Legends-class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] in his Nightwatch color scheme.

{{-}}

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:MovieProtoform Starscream toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Gold Plastic Syndrome just waiting to happen.]]
*'''Protoform Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-05'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun with missile and flame attachment

:Based upon the "Protoform" (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the movie, Protoform Starscream transforms into his "entry" mode Cybertronic rocket thing. This mode somewhat resembles a Cybertronic spaceship, with a visible bridge between the two dorsal fins. A flame decoration piece fits onto the back of the "vehicle" over the missile projectile, creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail . The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces.

:In robot mode, Starscream marginally resembles previous Starscreams, mostly G1 Starscream, with the large turbines on his chest, wings and vents on his legs. Due to his extensive use of ball joints, he has excellent articulation. Starscream is armed with a spring-loaded missile launcher that fires the previously mentioned projectile cast in the same bronze color as his body. Alternatively, the flame decoration can be fitted onto the end of the barrel.

:This toy also has an [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature, as most of the figures in the main line do. Pushing his head back during transformation will move his shoulder pieces back into place, while moving the shoulders forward will make the head pop back up. While either the missile or the flame can be placed into the gun, the flame can be placed onto the missile, using both at once. However, in some cases, the flame does not have a snug fit on the missile and falls off easily. This makes firing the missile rather awkward and makes the gun look extremely goofy.

: It's also entirely possible that this figure will eventually suffer from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome|GPS]], as the bronze plastic it is cast in has the same characteristic swirling exhibited by older figures that rapidly deteriorated. However, newer materials and processes may prevent the toy from ever seeing a single crack form. It is highly suggested that this toy not be painted or altered in any way to maximize its lifespan.

[[Image:ProtoformStarscreamProto.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Brought down from second place.]]
: The card back [[stock photo]] of Protoform Starscream features a completely different deco, with silver replacing all the bronze. It also has a different, earlier head sculpt. (See [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Notes|Notes]] below)

*'''Protoform Starscream Fusion Cluster Edition''' (C3xHobby Convention exclusive Deluxe, Japan 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Gun with missile and flame attachment

:An extensive redeco of the Protoform Starscream mold that was exclusively available at the Japanese C3xHobby Convention in August of 2007, and later offered by [[e-Hobby]] in limited quantities. Most of the body is made out of transparent orange plastic, while orange and yellow paint are used on the front end of the "entry" mode, mimicking the heat effects of sudden atmospheric entry. The flame attachment is made out of clear ''blue'' plastic, with the tail end being covered in ''gold'' paint.

*'''Starscream''' (Voyager, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Six missiles

: The Voyager-class version of Movie Starscream transforms into an officially-licensed [[wikipedia:F-22|Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor fighter jet]], albeit in beige.

:Pushing the fighter along a smooth surface causes the missile-launching barrels to rotate and fire their projectiles, which can also be stored in the black flip-up braces on the launchers. During transformation, pushing up upon the canopy fuselage piece activates Starscream's [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmick, which pushes panels out of the torso, wings and stabilizers. In robot mode, Starscream is mostly faithful to his movie CGI model, except for being bulkier around his chest, lacking engines on his back and having the very large Gatling cannons serve as his arms (a facsimile of his much slenderer weapons from the movie). Interestingly, his projectile missiles are sculpted to resemble fingers, should users choose to keep them loaded while Starscream is in robot mode. An interesting note is that [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle's]] (or Camshaft's) hands, when detached, make a snug fit in between the three main cannons; if you're feeling sillier, ''Legends'' [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron's]] shoulder does, too. Go on, try it yourself, yes, we'll wait...

:This toy was later retooled and [[Redeco|redecoed]] into Movie [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]], ROTF [[Ramjet (Movie)|Ramjet]] and, ROTF [[Skywarp (ROTF)|Skywarp]].

: An extensive redeco of Voyager class Starscream available only as a Target [[exclusive]], this version is [[Redeco|redecoed]] in a color scheme based upon ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. This version of Starscream shares the retooled version of this mold with Movie Thundercracker, giving Starscream a new, vaguely G1-ish head sculpt. The packaging for this toy explains that Starscream altered his appearance following his escape at the end of the film in order to avoid detection.

The package also comes with an HD-DVD copy of ''Transformers'', five HD DVD-R and five DVD-R discs.

:Starscream Vardia Red Model is '''extremely''' red, with some gold, a little black and Toshiba ''Vardia'' markings on his hull. With the player costing 100,000 yen at the time, this may be the most expensive ''Transformers'' exclusive to be released in relatively large quantities.

*'''Deep Space Starscream''' (Target exclusive "Premium Series" Voyager, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Six missiles

:A Target exclusive (But appeared in European retail in 2009), Deep Space Starscream is a redeco of the first version of Voyager class Starscream, based upon the colours used by [[Industrial Light & Magic]] on Starscream's CGI model (instead of the totally made up and inaccurate tan colouring on the previous release). As such he is metallic silver with complementary greys in fighter mode, including the 'First Fighter' (FF) squadron markings indicating he is an F-22 Raptor from [[wikipedia:Langley_Air_Force_Base|Langley Air Force Base]]. In robot mode reveals gold paint inside his chest detailing and red for circuitry detailing. His eyes are painted film-accurate red, but the rest of the [[Light-piping]] that makes up the back of his head is left uncolored, making the glowing eye effect no longer work while STILL retaining the miscolored bronzed glass color that the clear plastic was molded in. If one wanted to restore the light piping, though, the paint is fairly easy to remove.

: Deep Space Starscream is presented in 'Premium Octagonal' packaging very similar to Robo-Vision Optimus Prime. Even though Hasbro officially considers him as part of the Premium Series, this is not indicated anywhere on the packaging.

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:Movie FAB Starscream.jpg|right|300px|thumb|You are the Dragon Booster Artha!]]
*'''Battle Blade Starscream''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''QC-02'''

: [[Fast Action Battler|Fast Action Battlers]] "Battle Blade" Starscream transforms into a somewhat superdeformed F-22 Raptor, simplifying the overall design to the point of his feet noticeably sticking out the aft of the fighter, and has a truncated transformation sequence reminiscent of past Transformers such as ''Generation 1'' [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and ''Cybertron'' [[Thundercracker (Armada)|Thundercracker]]. Rather than having a separate weapon, he only has a claw-like blade that flips over the right hand (hence "Battle Blade") and non-removable missiles in the palms of his hands.

: This toy was later redecoed as [[Ramjet (Movie)|Claw Slash Ramjet]].

: There is a Korean [[Knockoff|fake]] of this model going around, under the name of "Latent Spider". Fortunately no real spiders have been found latent inside the toy.

:One of five toys that was available at Red Rooster, an Australian based fast food chain.

:Legends class Starscream is a redeco of [[#Legends Class toys|2007's Legends class Starscream]], the main difference being a mostly single main colour scheme (compared to 2007's rather random colour choices) and the ''Revenge of the Fallen''-specific Cyberglyph tattoos.

:For some odd reason, his card back depicts how to transform him from his alt-mode to his robot mode; as all Legends are packaged in robot mode, wouldn't robot-to-vehicle work better?

*'''Starscream''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-02'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

:''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager class Starscream is far more accurate to the movie model in both modes than the previous movie's Voyager mold, with a more dramatic transformation scheme to boot.

:In robot mode, Starscream has two arm-mounted, spring loaded missile launchers sculpted to resemble his [[wikipedia:M61_Vulcan|M61A2 Vulcan 20 mm rotary cannons]]. These weapons end up underneath and facing backwards in vehicle mode. He also has a [[Mech Alive]] gimmick, which is linked between his head and chest; when you turn his head, the gears in his chest spin.

:He has amber light piping for his eyes, but they've been painted over in red.

[[Image:ROTFtoy-StarscreamVoyager-popoutlaunchers.jpg|left|thumb|150px|I had more joints!]]

:According to the [[stock photography|stock photos]] of the hand-painted [[prototype]] (seen at left), Starscream's hands originally had a joint down the middle of his palms, possibly to facilitate in hiding them in fighter mode. His arm-mounted cannons were also originally separate parts from his forearms, jointed to move back and forth, again possibly to hide them in fighter mode. However this was [[design change|changed]] for the final toy, with the hands now molded as one piece and unable to be hidden in vehicle mode, and his cannons' details (including the joints) simply molded directly onto his arms. His knee caps were also originally a separate movable piece and not joined to his upper leg. It is assumed that all this was done for cost cutting. His packaging call-outs (excepting Europe) still claim that he has "pop out missile launchers," despite this gimmick's removal. The toy's [[instructions]] include a superfluous "flip down hands" step, and depict the missile launchers extended with partially-folded hands when describing the missile-launch action.

: As a [[Gravity Bot]], this Starscream features no articulation at all, but relies wholly on a gravity-based [[autotransformation]] gimmick. When laid down on a flat surface, Starscream will transform into a [[super deformed]] F-22, while standing him on his feet again will switch him to robot mode.

====Leader Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF-toy leader Starscream.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"NO ONE DEFEATS [[Bill Rawley|BILL RAAAWLEY"]]]]
*'''Starscream''' (Leader, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Cannon, 2 missiles

:Like the various figures released earlier, Leader-class Starscream transforms into an officially licensed Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor fighter jet, decoed in a gunmetal-like gray and covered in Cybertronian tattoos to more accurately reflect his on-screen appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' than his Voyager-class toys. In robot mode, either of Starscream's hands can fold down to accommodate a spring-loaded cannon that fires one of two included projectiles; both missiles and the cannon can be stored via pegs on his back. In Raptor mode, the launcher stores in a space on the underside, and can be flipped out to fire his missiles from underneath. Starscream also features two flip-out, non-firing weapons on his forearms: a cannon resembling an M61 Vulcan on the right, and two generic missiles on the left.

:Starscream's primary gimmick in this size is the addition of electronic lights and sounds. Pulling down on his canopy in robot mode opens chest panels and his mouth and produces one of two phrases: "Decepticons will crush the Autobots!" and "No one can defeat Starscream!" in the version released in the United States, and simply "Decepticons!" and "Starscream!" in the version released in rest of the world, including most of the version released in Canada, Mexico, and Latin America. Additionally, the canopy activates LEDs which light up Starscream's clear, red eyes and various other portions of clear, amber plastic in his chest. During transformation, a button is activated, causing the toy to play a four-note version of the transformation noise. In Raptor mode, Starscream's lights and sounds are activated by a Decepticon sigil-covered button on the top of the jet. In addition to lighting the canopy and turbines, this button plays two sounds: either generic jet engine noises or Starscream's voice saying either "No one can defeat Starscream!" (US) or simply "Starscream!" (International).

:An important step was left out of the instructions concerning how to transform Starscream to robot mode. A flap attaches from the fuselage to the cockpit section. To disconnect this part, the cockpit window has to be lifted using notches on the side. Otherwise, you cannot flip the front of the jet forward.

====Activators====
[[Image:Activators_MovieStarscream.jpg|thumb|300px| Starscream, you're "kawaii" now, so I have to warn you about the [[fandom| fangirls.]]]]
*'''Starscream''' (Activator, 2010)

:[[Activators]] Starscream is a small toy with cutesified proportions in both robot and F-22 modes. His transformation is greatly simplified, with most of the jet parts just hanging off his back in robot mode. Like all Activators, Starscream features button-activated [[autotransformation]] from jet to robot. While the card's photography shows Starscream as having rolling wheels for landing gear, the final has the landing gear molded in one piece with the legs, probably due to budget cuts.

:A brand-new [[Cyberverse]] Legion-class mold, Starscream comes with an [[Orbital Assault Carrier|“Assault Craft”]] similar to the kind the Decepticons use in the film. Starscream himself is much more movie-accurate, better proportioned, and well articulated, capable of rotating his thighs, bending his arms, and raising his shoulders.

:Like the previous movie's Voyager figure, Starscream's hands stick out of the back of the vehicle mode. Also, while landing gear is molded on both the undercarriage and the nose of the jet, the odd layout of robot parts in vehicle mode means they can't all rest on a flat surface at once.

This Starscream also comes with ''[[Robot Masters (franchise)|Robot Masters]]'' [[R-Blade]]'s gun, which can be held in his newly retooled left hand.

*'''Starscream''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD02'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 MechTech Null Ray Cannons/Swords

:''Dark of the Moon'' Starscream is a brand-new sculpt, transforming into a surprisingly accurate F-22 Raptor. In spite of being at a much smaller scale than previous Voyager-class Starscreams, his parts hide much better into his vehicle mode. His incredibly flexible arms have joints at the shoulder, in the middle of the upper arm, elbow, and wrist, allowing them to neatly fold up for transformation, as well as scratch his own back.

:He comes with two [[MechTech]] weapons, with one weapon being static and the other being functional. Both weapons are double-sided, featuring a "[[Null-ray]] cannon" barrel (which looks like a machine-gun barrel) on one side and a "sword" on the other. Pushing forward the scope on the functional weapon will cause the sword weapon to extend, increasing its reach. The peg and cannon barrel on the static weapon correspond to the peghole and the hole of the scope of the functional weapon, meaning his null rays can combine to form a double bladed weapon that's way taller than he is. This means that he is one of the few Deluxe figures to have a MechTech weapon that can remain locked in both modes. Awesome.

:This mold was later redecoed into [[Thundercracker (Movie)#Dark of the Moon|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (ROTF)|Skywarp]]. His MechTech weapons were [[retool]]ed into [[Darksteel]]'s weapons.

A similar mold was used to create the Lunchables figure for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], though with the Autobot symbol sculpted in instead of the Decepticon one.

Striking the wheel causes it to advance to the next slot, revealing damage to Starscream's torso. A second tap reveals even more damage. Despite being a free pack-in toy, the figure is surprisingly well molded, having well defined head parts and the twin afterburners on his back that even the Voyager version lacks. It even has six fingers (or rather, four fingers and two thumbs) on each hand!

Starscream features red [[light-piping]], an unexpected feature for a fast food promotional toy, and can move his arms up and down. He was only available during week 4 of the promotion, and came with an instruction sheet that doubles as an ad for [[McWorld]], featuring an exclusive code for the website.

Starscream is colored in tan desert camouflage with his black ''Revenge of the Fallen'' markings.

==Notes==
* The earlier head design of his protoform toy is featured on (what else?) his protoform body in IDW's movie prequel comics. It's since become Starscream's standard "pre-Earth" face, likely out of consistency.

'''Toys"R"Us''', spelled "ToysЯUs" with a reversed "Я" in the official company logo (previously Toys"Я"Us), is one of the world's biggest toy retailer chains, based in the [[United States]] but with branches in many other countries.

Over the years, they have carried a lot of [[exclusive]] ''Transformers'' [[toy]]s, in addition to the regular mass retail releases. Many of those exclusives have been carried not only by US retailers, but also by international Toys"R"Us branches.

[[Japan]] also has its own Toys"R"Us branch, which has its own exclusive toys from [[Takara]], independent of the toys [[Hasbro]] provides Western Toys"R"Us stores with.

Ultimately, however, Toys"R"Us backed out of the deal, and Spacewarp was never released. While the Space Team redecos remain unreleased to this very day ([[Takara]] claims that the [[mold]]s have become unusable), the planned Spacewarp deco was later used as the basis for the [[Transformers Collectors' Club|Collectors' Club]] exclusive [[Astrotrain (Timelines)|Astrotrain]] redeco of ''Armada'' Jetfire, with a new head sculpt.

Bumblebee (Movie)/toys

2011-10-17T10:11:03Z

58.69.198.148: I don't see why this shouldn't be part of the main article.

{{picsneeded|various stuff}}
{{suite}}

'''[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]''' is the star of a [[Live-action film series|multi-billion-dollar film franchise]], and as such has a horrendous amount of toys and memorabilia!

Seriously, he's probably got more than [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] by now.

==Transformers (2007)==
===Legends Class toys===
[[Image:Bumblebeemovielegends.jpg|right|300px|thumb|It's not a fiesta with racing stripes... it's a fiesta OF racing stripes!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Bumblebee'''

: Legends Bumblebee transforms into a yellow 1976 Chevrolet Camaro. Being a highly simplified toy of a highly complex design, Legends-class Bumblebee does not replicate the appearance of the robot mode very well, and has very limited articulation, detail and paint application. On the other hand, he's pocket-sized and inexpensive, perfect for the younger set. The toy has a sculpted rear window, but it's not painted like the other windows. instead, the racing stripes extend over them.

{{-}}
*'''Optimus Prime bonus pack''' ([[Costco]] exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

:A Costco exclusive special pack of Leader Class Optimus Prime with Legends Class Bumblebee and [[Jazz (Movie)|Autobot Jazz]] as bonus figures. None of the three toys is changed from their respective original releases.

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Allspark Legends pack.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The classic G1 cast...plus Barricade.]]
*'''Battle for the Allspark''' (Toys'R'Us exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

: A Toys'R'Us exclusive, this six-pack of Legends class figures contains unmodified toys of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], Bumblebee, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

{{-}}
*'''Bumblebee Scanning Version''' (''Hyper Hobby'' magazine exclusive EZ Collection variant, 2007)

: A Japanese-exclusive version of the Legends Bumblebee toy, Bumblebee Scanning Version (バンブルビー　スキャニング Ver.) uses transparent plastics for his yellow parts. He was available as a mail-order item from ''Hyper Hobby'' magazine in September of 2007. The toy itself is almost entirely unpainted, save for some metallic blue for his eyes, and silver for his face and for the tampographed Autobot symbol on his chest.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Classic Camaro, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: The first Deluxe Class version of Movie Bumblebee transforms into a yellow [[wikipedia:Second-generation_Chevrolet_Camaro|1976 Chevrolet Camaro]] with a quite reasonable level of sculpted detail. In contrast to the other Deluxe-class car Transformers in the Movie toyline, he does not have clear windows, instead opting for opaque yellow plastic with painted metallic blue.

: Bumblebee is armed with two shoulder-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers (inspired by the shoulder-mounted missile launchers he uses to fight Brawl/Devastator in the movie), which also double as hand-held weapons or can be mounted on ports on the undersides of his elbows. His legs and chest [[Automorph]] during transformation.

: The initial release of the toy featured even tabs for the Automorph gimmick; oddly, Hasbro later decided to [[retool]] the feature so the tab would be uneven.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29613 Original Allspark thread about the retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref> This resulted in many reported cases of the tab snapping during transformation. Press the button or you'll break him. Seriously. The retooled Automorph gimmick would be used for all subsequent versions of the mold, including the Japanese ones, and the breakage problem wouldn't be fixed until the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack and the Target exclusive "Evolution of a Hero" two-pack.

[[Image:Movie Deluxe 1974 Bumblebee JPtoy.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Never seen so much translucent plastic in all my life.]]
: Packaging photos and early [[Prototype|test shots]] of Hasbro's Bumblebee featured transparent blue plastic windows and missile parts. However, the final Hasbro production toy has opaque yellow plastic. The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of Bumblebee retains the transparent blue plastic parts, with yellow paint for the outer car shell. As a consequence, the missiles, which are on the same sprue, are also made of clear blue plastic, just like the early prototype seen in the Hasbro stock photos for the toy. He also uses the retooled version of the mold with the fixed [[Automorph]] gimmick.

The packaging used for the Japanese toy is the same as for the Hasbro version, with the exception of additional stickers identifying it as a Japanese market release.

*'''Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter''' (Deluxe two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: This battle pack contains the 1976 Camaro deluxe-class Bumblebee and the deluxe-class [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]/[[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] figures, based upon their confrontation as seen in the movie. The box features a diorama-style background from a movie scene, but the toys themselves are unchanged from their original carded releases.

: The set originally retailed for only slightly less than buying the two individual toys. However, for a short while, it was about the only way to ''get'' Bumblebee in the first place, thanks to the [[Movie (toyline)|toy drought]] following the movie's record-smashing opening.

It retained the clear blue windows and missiles of the standard Japanese release.

The window box features a diorama background of the battle in [[Mission City]] (basically the same packaging inner tray from the "Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter" pack). As is generally the case with the European releases of the Movie toys, the pictures on the front of the box show the robot-mode toys instead of an artist's depiction of their faces.

: For this two-pack, Hasbro slightly retooled Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick again, adding another small tab that finally resolved the breakage issues that had plagued the previous variation of the mold.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38149 Allspark thread about the second retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref>

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-10'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: The second Deluxe class Bumblebee toy, which shares no parts with the previous one (even the head, despite being based on the same general design, is a different sculpt), transforms into the [[wikipedia:Fifth-generation_Chevrolet_Camaro|concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro]]. Maintaining the high standard for car accuracy in the movie line, Bumblebee is very faithful to the real-life vehicle, featuring clear blue windows in contrast to the opaque windows seen in both his previous Deluxe class toy and the Ultimate Bumblebee toy.

: Bumblebee features two [[Automorph|Automorphing]] gimmicks during transformation: ''(a)'' swinging his hood down into robot mode position also moves his arms up and ''(b)'', swinging his feet down will move the rear fenders up and behind his calves, as well as swinging the rear windows to his inner calves in a spring-loaded action. Unusually, this version of Bumblebee is much more accurate to the CGI design than either the older-model Deluxe OR the Ultimate figure, with the chest properly articulating in a fairly Movie-accurate manner. He's also slightly taller than most of the other Deluxe Class figures.

: Bumblebee features a superb range of articulation, with ball joints in his shoulders, neck, torso, wrists and upper legs, with ratcheting and swivels making up the remaining joints. Instead of the rather inaccurate missile launchers from the 1976 Camaro toy, '09 Bumblebee comes with a mostly accurate version of his plasma cannon as it appears in the movie, but for added play value, it can Automorph into an energy blade by opening up the halves of the gun barrel and swinging them back. The cannon can be held in either of his hands.

: Care should be taken when removing the cannon from Bumblebee's hands, as excessive force can damage the wrist ball joint socket.

: Contrary to popular opinion, the yellow pieces on the back of Bumblebee's feet are ''not'' supposed to be heel spurs, nor have they been mis-assembled. They are supposed to fold up to emulate the detail found on the CGI design.

: A running change version of this mold adds tabs to the hip panels, which makes the vehicle mode hold together better, as well as sculpted pupils inside Bumblebee's eyes.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=144325 TFW2005 thread about the retool for the second Deluxe Bumblebee toy]</ref> Initially this was believed to be a variant for the Japanese market; however, later shipments of the Hasbro toy featured those changes as well, as did all subsequent versions of the mold.

: This mold was also used to make "Allspark Power" [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Evolution of a Hero''' (Target exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles, Plasma cannon

: A Target exclusive, this figure multi-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe-class 1976 Bumblebee and an exclusive "battle damaged" 2009 Camaro Concept Bumblebee. Even though the 2009 figure is supposed to represent Bumblebee's damaged state as he appeared during the final battle in the movie, oddly enough the "damage" paint decos do not appear to extend to his legs, restricting themselves to his upper torso and car roof/door parts. Maybe they didn't bother because they thought you'd take them off like in the movie. Go figure.

:The Classic Camaro Bumblebee toy included in this package features the same "fixed" Automorph gimmick also found on the version included in the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack. In addition, the Automorph button on the hood ''finally'' sports the painted pinstripes that had been missing on ''all'' previous releases of the mold.

*'''Capture of Bumblebee''' (Screen Battles diorama pack, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-04'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack comes a [[Redeco|redecoed]] Camaro Concept Deluxe-class Bumblebee featuring a more accurate gray color scheme for his robot mode parts and a silver-painted face, Autobot symbol and toes. Additionally, a new red Autobot symbol is placed on his forehead, while his translucent parts are now a greener blue. The pack also comes with non-posable figurines of [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]] and two Sector Seven soldiers; one carrying a cryo-freezing cannon and one carrying a grenade launcher.

: This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the scene in which Bumblebee is captured by Sector Seven forces.

:According to details listed in an official checklist on Hasbro's website{{fact}}, this pack was originally supposed to feature "ice soldiers" (plural), in addition to an "S7 agent" and an "S7 soldier". Apparently budget ultimately only allowed for one. The grenade launcher-wielding S7 soldier also looks conspicuously like [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] colored as a Sector Seven soldier (it's possible that the figure had originally been intended for the Screen Battles "Desert Attack" pack with [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]).

: Stealth Bumblebee is an extensive redeco and minor retool of the Deluxe class 2009 Camaro Bumblebee toy. The redeco itself is unusual in that the yellow parts are still cast in yellow plastic, but painted black. Other color differences include changing the robot mode body parts from black to gray and adding bright blue ''AllSpark Power'' decos.

:The head has also been retooled to reflect Bumblebee's 'battle mask' as seen in the Movie. The "mask" does not flip up to reveal his head. Bummer.

While the ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' Bumblebees are identical to their original, single carded releases, the ''Classics'' Bumblebee has been redecoed to more closely resemble his ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' counterparts, changing his white stripes to black, and his grey/silver plastic to yellow, similarly to ''Henkei!

[[Image:Movie ScreenBattles FinalStand1.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"Half a bee, philosophically/ Must, ipso facto, half not be./ But half the bee has got to be/ Vis-a-vis, its entity. D'you see?"]]
*'''Final Stand''' (Screen Battles, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-02'''

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack comes with an altered [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] toy and a posable, non-transforming, battle-damaged Bumblebee figure very similar to the ''Robot Replicas'' toy, yet surprisingly utilizing none of the same parts despite being on an identical scale. This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the battle in Mission City.

:Although entirely composed of original sculpting, such as the gimpy leg-stumps, the Bumblebee figure oddly does not feature the character's distinctive car door "wings" on his back. However, keen [[customizing|customisers]] can easily rectify this by slicing the "Robot Replicas" version's wings off and whittling their connecting plastic into simple posts that very handily plug into large holes in the tires on Final Stand 'Bee's back. In fact, these holes almost seem designed to accommodate a missing part. (Considering how all the other Screen Battles sets were apparently originally intended to feature more, or at least more elaborate, accessory figures based on their entries in an official checklist on Hasbro's website{{fact}}, this seems indeed very plausible.)

{{-}}
===Ultimate===
[[Image:Ultimate Bumblebee toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|All those extras and they couldn't make me more accurate than the deluxe class toy.]]
*'''Ultimate Bumblebee''' (Ultimate, 2007)
**''Accessories:''

: Similar in appearance to the second Deluxe-class Bumblebee toy, albeit much larger and more complex, the 'Ultimate' version of Bumblebee also transforms into the 2009 concept Camaro. The toy features animatronic movement in robot mode (flapping wings, moving arms and a rotating head) and light-up eyes and headlights, activated by the movement or sounds made by the person playing with the toy, or by pressing his buttons, which also activate an obscene number of interactive electronic sound effects. Oddly enough, despite being mute for most of the movie, Bumblebee has a wide range of phrases (Which don't even sound like him). His chest button yields various phrases and a new version of the ''Transformers'' theme tune, while a button on his side produces blaster noises, more speech, and musical samples, including four different ones from Devo's "Whip It." This button also causes the toy to raise its cannon-arm and automatically fire a missile. Playing with the toy by moving it will make him repeat various phrases and samples activated by other features, as well as crashing battle noises, but when he is left idle, more unique phrases will be uttered inquiring where everyone has gone, as well as radio snippets to the same effect, before the toy eventually deactivates. Pressing any button will bring him back online with a cheerful shout.

: Transforming the toy between modes is accompanied by the classic transformation noise, and if left unattended between modes, it will make stalling engine noises, car horn and a car alarm sounds. Once in car mode, new electronics are unlocked, beginning with the sound of an engine starting up. The chest button now activates the car's horn, and rolling the figure along will create an accelerating noise that increases the faster the toy is moved. More unique musical snippets will play as the car rolls along; when the rolling stops, brake lights activate and the tires screech. Yet more sounds are produced when Bumblebee is rolled backwards, and the car mode also features different crashing battle noises to the robot mode.

: All of the toy's features can be turned off by a switch, and it has an additional "Try Me" mode which allows you to hear various sounds from the toy's various functions just by pressing the chest button.

: The toy is mistransformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure made the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block resting on Bumblebee's chest. In reality, it splits up into five separate pieces to fold and collapse into a more movie-like appearance.

: In the holiday season, Wal-Mart carried an exclusive "Bonus Buy" version of the toy, which had the Deluxe [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] toys added as freebies. Costco also carried an exclusive version, with the 3" [[Titanium Series]] version of Bumblebee packed in. However, it did not include the display stand.

:[[Fast Action Battler|Fast Action Battlers]] Bumblebee transforms from concept Camaro to robot with a considerably simpler transformation than the standard deluxe toy, intended for the slightly younger set. His main "gimmick" is a spring-loaded missile launcher in his right arm. As is also the case with Ultimate Bumblebee, the toy is mistransformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure make the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block. In reality, the chest/bumper consists of two rotating pieces which can pivot down so as to more accurately emulate the appearance in the movie.

Like all Cyber Slammers, the toy features motorized action. When you push down on the car, it zooms forward, then pops up into robot mode! Sure to please the toddler you brought with you to the PG-13 movie. Like most Cyber Slammers, Bumblebee manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

: This toy was later redecoed into [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]].

===Trans-Scanning===
[[Image:Movie TranScanning Bumblebee toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|whY mY SHoUlDeRs hUrT?(Now I know how Hot Shot feels)]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[Trans-scan|Trans-scanning]] Bumblebee is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a "Core Body". To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Bumblebee: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of golden plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This golden-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Bumblebee's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of nineteen armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a Camaro Concept.

: Bumblebee also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]] figure.

: [[Cyber Stompin' Robots]] Bee is a large electronic action figure, featuring a rather cutified design. He's got electronic lights and sounds up the whazzoo and fires missiles and a fist. He totally plays the original theme song.

: Later in the year, Wal-Mart stores sold this toy as a "Bonus Buy" item, which came with a free Cyber Slammer [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] attached to the box back.

===Robot Replicas===

*'''Bumblebee''' (Robot Replicas, 2007)

: As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] sub-line, this version of concept-Camaro Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure that hews very close to the movie's CGI model. It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, plus his right forearm can be replaced with his blaster-arm (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins). For some reason, he's closer to orange than his normal yellow.

The tip of the gun barrel can also be unscrewed, revealing a pen (!) inside.

Don't look at his eyes for too long, you'll have nightmares.

:Strangely, the missile for his right arm is slightly too long for the slot in the arm itself, so it either has to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon must be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. (This has been fixed in later releases, such as the European market). Also, instead of having movie accurate gray colored "toe" sections on his feet like the later 2007 figures, his toes are ''painted'' yellow ...on top of yellow plastic. Oookay...

*'''Cannon Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-14'''

:This extensive retool of Bumblebee changes the entire upper half of the robot mode, and thus half of the car, to newly designed parts, including more articulated arms with open palms, less obstructive vehicle [[kibble]], a differently transforming chest, and two flip-out (non-firing) missile launcher racks behind his head. Only the legs remain unaltered from the original version of the mold. Interestingly, his arms can be detached and easily popped onto the original mold, resulting in a more [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] robot mode, though this sacrifices transformation. This extensive retooling results in a car interior with seats and a crude dashboard, but the windows are so opaque that these new details can't easily be seen. A variant with clear blue windows was released in later shipments.

:His "heels" are assembled backwards, which keeps them from being folded up against the back of the shins. Disappointingly, his chest cannot deform like the previous releases of this mold (or his Fast Action Battler, which still has a deforming chest).

:Alliance Bumblebee is a [[redeco]] of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Preview Bumblebee. He now has several black thick black stripes across the hood and roof, stripes and [[NEST]] logos across the doors and side fender panels. He also has black arms, legs and torso to match this new colour scheme, instead of the more accurate grey colours seen in the previous release and Cannon Bumblebee. The yellow shoulder pieces are now pinned in place.

:A redeco and retool of Cannon Bumblebee with a new (and much tinier) head featuring his battle mask, close to Stealth Bumblebee from the 2007 movie line. He was only available in a two-pack with a redecoed [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]].

Two additional stickers from specially-marked NEST Global Alliance products and $4.95 shipping are required for the promotion. The promotion to get Recon Ravage was only available in North America, and Recon Ravage was available in most other markets at a retailer exclusive.

===Human Alliance===
[[Image:ROTF HumanAlliance Bumblebee%26Sam.jpg|right|300px|thumb|NOT a headmaster.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' / '''Sam Witwicky''' (Human Alliance, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-21'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 Missiles

:Human Alliance Bumblebee comes with a posable figure of [[Sam Witwicky]] that can fit inside in Bumblebee's vehicle mode (plugging into his seat via a small hole in his back) and drive him. In robot mode, Bumblebee's vehicle-mode seats end up on his arms, and Sam can sit in either of them; the seat on Bumblebee's right has a headrest that can fold down to look slightly less conspicuous in robot mode, while the seat on Bumblebee's left arm features a pair of cannons which flip over Sam's shoulders, offering him some offensive hardware to protect his rather precarious position. These cannons can also be flipped down further to form some over-the-shoulder restraints. Sam can also stand on a platform that flips out from the small of Bumblebee's back (again, via peg-holes on his feet), manning a small non-firing cannon that flips out over Bumblebee's right shoulder. Finally, Bumblebee's left palm also contains a peg, meaning Sam can securely stand or sit in his big buddy's hand. Bumblebee himself features a spring-loaded cannon for his left arm, which can fire the two missiles the figure comes with, a flip-out double-barreled silver cannon that points over his head, and a functional flip-down battle mask. Much like the rest of his Human Alliance brethren, Bumblebee is roughly the same size as an ''[[Alternators]]'' toy, being slightly taller than ''Alternators'' [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] in robot mode.

[[Image:Human Alliance Bumblebee Prototype.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Modders, vindicated by the prototype.]]
:There is a significant [[misassembly]] issue with Bumblebee: according to TakaraTomy's images of the resin [[prototype]] as well as Bumblebee's CG design, the retail toy's legs are on the wrong sides of his body, so the details on his legs are inverted. Since the instructions reflect this assembly, it's possible that this was [[design change|done on purpose]] because with the toy in its originally intended assembly, the waist section could be rather difficult to transform for children. The toy's originally intended assembly can still be [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/243649-human-alliance-bumblebee-leg-mod.html easily achieved by disassembling his crotch and reassembling the legs backwards.] Once this is complete, Bumblebee will look the way he was intended to look, while adding some minor extra steps during transformation.

===Gravity Bots===
[[Image:ROTF GravityBot Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|300px| The evolution of Jumpstarters!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Gravity Bot, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GB-02'''

:Plonk him down. Lift him up. Plonk him down. Lift him up. This addictive toy transforms automatically when stood up (vehicle to robot), or placed on his back (robot to vehicle). A switch underneath his feet or his car mode releases the transformation — so the toy can be played with in relatively stable modes if held in the air, or just rolling along the ground.

:Because gravity is the powering force in the transformation there's no motors to wear out or batteries to use up when playing with the toy. Which is good, because you will be transforming him no less than nine million times.

:Bumblebee features dumpy proportions and low movie accuracy (no door wings here), forced upon the toy to accommodate the [[Gravity Bot]]s transformation gimmick. His robot mode has no articulation, not even head. But at least he has big feet! Or legs... or whatever the heck they are. Stump? At least he has a big stump.

*'''Battle Blade Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-02'''

:This entirely new Deluxe class Bumblebee for the ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers'' (2010)]] toyline features a much more accurate and articulated sculpt in robot mode compared to previous versions of Deluxe class Camaro Concept Bumblebee, with the transformation scheme taking many cues from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Human Alliance Bumblebee, scaled down to Deluxe size, while using an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] design for the leg transformation directly based on the original Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee. Despite the very similar looks, Battle Blade Bumblebee uses no parts from previous toys; everything about him is an entirely new sculpt.

:His right hand can be switched out for his cannon by opening the arm guard, flipping out the cannon barrel, folding away the right hand and folding the cannon over to the wrist. Due to how the parts were distributed on the plastic sprues during production, the cannon barrel is yellow rather than grey. The left arm-guard has a flip-out axe made of translucent blue plastic, representing the axe weapon Bumblebee uses in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video games]], which itself may have been based upon the electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] that was once considered as a melee weapon for Bumblebee in the first movie. The axe is spring-loaded, activated by a button on his arm-guard. This version of Movie Bumblebee also features a flip-down battle mask, very similar to Human Alliance Bumblebee. In other words, pure premium awesome-sauce.

:His head has a tendency to pop off during transformation. The space at the front of the collar would give him ''just'' enough clearance to pass his head through... if it were not for the small plastic flap (the one with the [[Autobot]] symbol) on his chest, which tends to push and squeeze the head out enough that the tension causes the head to pop and fly out from his ball-jointed neck.

:Stock photos show that the axe was originally made in such a way that the blade was mounted on a rod and could be rotated downwards, but this was changed entirely for unknown reasons (possibly fragility). As a result, the blade is mounted upside-down.

:The Japanese ''Autobot Alliance'' release features marginally darker yellow plastic and paint.

The windows are cast in transparent green plastic with green trim and the outsides of his arms are also painted green. Additionally, there is a green stripe running across and between the fenders on each side with green accents on the face and helmet as well.

All of the green parts have been replaced with a chocolate brown including the tires with brown stripes over his eyes which run across the top of his battle helmet. The thumbs and insides of his upper arms are also painted brown. The windows are clear and untinted. He has a brown "wash" over his lower arms and on his doors probably to simulate caked on dirt or mud. There are also silver "scratches" on both doors as well as the driver's side of the hood. He has a tiny black-on-white Autobot symbol on his lower abdomen. Unlike previous versions of this mold, the rear lights, tailpipes, and lower front headlights are unpainted. Bumblebee was packaged with redecoes of [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] and [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] and available exclusively at Toys "R" Us stores.

He has a flip down battle mask, a right arm that converts to a plasma cannon, and two (non-firing) shoulder/hood missile launchers. His non-cannon hand has some articulation, but is tightly jointed.

:As revealed at the Hasbro designers panel at [[BotCon 2010]], an easter egg is hidden in Battle Ops Bumblebee's electronics: when in vehicle mode, pressing down on the front left end of the vehicle (or pushing the front left wheel up) several times will play the first verse of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the original ''Transformers'']] [[theme song]], and subsequent presses will play further verses.

His right hand is sculpted as his Plasma Cannon, while his left hand has the ability to hold onto Cyberverse weapons and interact with Cyberverse playsets.

:The final toy differs from promotional photos by being cast in a different color of plastic similar to previous releases of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class mold, while the promotional photos depict him in a lighter hue of yellow.

**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/Plasma Cannon

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Bumblebee is an entirely new figure that resembles in many ways the 2010 toyline Battle Blade Bumblebee. In addition to the cosmetic changes made to the vehicle mode and robot mode to resemble the third movie's altered visual design, this Bumblebee also comes with a [[MechTech]] weapon. When a lever is pulled back on the "Blaster" weapon, it opens up into a larger "Plasma Cannon", but it springs back into its original position once the lever is left alone. The MechTech weapon can be held in his hands, attach via [[5mm post|5mm pegholes]]/MechTech ports on his forearms, or plug in a "concealed" 5mm peghole on the vehicle mode's roof. Additionally, [[C joint]] bars are sculpted into Bumblebee's forearms.

:Bumblebee can form a semi-Stealth Force configuration by lifting up the rear half of his roof, exposing concealed cannons sculpted in translucent blue plastic. Also of note in vehicle mode is the sculpted Camaro SS badging near the doors, which doesn't appear on any other ''Dark of the Moon'' Bumblebee toy or the prop vehicles used for filming.

*'''Nitro Bumblebee''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA18'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Cybertronian Boost Engine/Plasma Cannon

:Nitro Bumblebee is an all-new mold, featuring booster engines, armour plating and other Stealth Force-like design elements sculpted onto the vehicle mode. He features five MechTech ports in this mode: one on the hood, two of the roof and two behind his rear wheels. Nitro Bumblebee transforms rather differently to most of the other Deluxe class Bumblebee molds, with much of the entire front of the car being articulated chest pieces rather than the usual front fenders separating from the rest of the chest. Also of note are his legs, which are considerably different in appearance and transformation to the standard set by the 2007 ''Transformers'' Deluxe class (Camaro Concept) Bumblebee, with the rear wheels ending up inside of his ankle. Both of his arms have one MechTech port each, and the ports from vehicle mode can still be used.

:Bumblebee's MechTech weapon, though similar in function and appearance to [[Skids (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Skids]]'s MechTech blaster, is in actuality an entirely new mold.

**''Accessories:'' Plasma Cannon

:This [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] Bumblebee is a redeco of the [[Movie (toyline)|2007 ''Transformers'']] Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee. Bumblebee features many different ''Transformers'' [[insignia]]s from across different continuities, namely; [[:Image:Ancient Autobot Symbol.png|Generation 1 Prehistory Autobot]], [[:Image:Auto-g2.png|Generation 2 Autobot]], [[:Image:Minicon symbol.png|Armada Mini-Con]], [[:Image:Sumdac Systems.PNG|Animated Sumdac Systems]], [[:Image:Playschool Go-Bots G.png|Playschool Go-Bot]], [[S.T.A.R.S.]], "FLY [[Omega Supreme|Ω SUPREME]]", [[G.B. Blackrock|"Black Rock"]], [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|"Maccadam's"]], [[Dinobot (BM)|the Beast Machines Dinobots Symbol]], and the number [[1984|84]], all in addition to his live-action movie Autobot insignia.

:The stock photography on the back of his packaging is quite strange. It shows a significantly different deco, with the entire lower half of his vehicle mode and parts of his abdomen and crotch painted red, as well as his blade being a clear blue, when the final toy has no red paint and his blade is cast in clear black plastic. His eyes are also shown to be painted bright blue, when his final eyes are painted black. The stock photos also contradict ''each other'', having the clear plastic of his robot mode be blue, whereas his vehicle mode sports ''black'' plastic.

: The main gimmick is that he comes with a massive Mechtech backpack, which is the sole electronic component of the toy. It resembles a jet-pack, and features missile pods and a blaster, all of which emit lights and sounds when pressed.

: Like a few other Bumblebee toys, he also features a flip-down battle mask.

:Starting [[June 1]], 2009, [[General Motors|Chevrolet]] began taking orders for the Bumblebee Edition package for the 2009/2010 Chevy Camaro. The package consists of Rally Yellow exterior color with black "Bumblebee" stripes and "''Transformers''" badging on the wheel center caps, sill plates and embroidered console lid. The package was available for Camaro LT and SS models.

Lunar Crawler

[[Image:RatchetDOTMCyberverseLunarCrawler.JPG|thumb|300px|"''[[wikipedia:Spirit rover|Spirit]]''? Is that you?" "Here's a hint!"]]
The '''Lunar Crawler''' is a massive multipurpose vehicle commanded by [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] during missions on [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|moon]], and possibly similar environments. While primarily intended for rescue and repair purposes, the Lunar Crawler also sports a combat configuration, in which its multi-axis repair claw is presumably used for less-peaceful purposes. The vehicle also bears a high-output emergency satellite.

**''Series:''
**''Number:''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV18'''
**''Accessories:'' Multi-axis repair claw, satellite dish, crawler/gun, [[Moon (moon)|moon]]

:Packaged with a redecoed and slightly retooled [[Cyberverse]] Ratchet, the Lunar Crawler is a large lunar rover of probably made-up origin, though reminiscent of real unmanned exploration vehicles such as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Exploration_Rover Mars Exploration Rovers]. The vehicle bears twelve 3mm pegholes, three [[5mm post|5mm pegholes]], and a [[C joint]] bar and clip. One of the 5mm holes (or any MechTech figure) can be used to mount a large articulated arm with a claw at the end, which sports an additional clip and two more 3mm holes. Pulling back the "eye" component on top of the claw will cause the claw to pinch.

:The crawler can be transformed into a "repair station," which has essentially the same functionality in a more horizontal configuration, and adds a ramp sized for Cyberverse vehicles. With the harsh serrated treading on the ramp, the multiple tank treads (with what appear to be spikes along the wheel rims) on each side, and the claw above it all, it actually appears much more like a piece of mining equipment (with a conveyor belt, grinders, and a claw arm) than anything remotely 'repair-like.'

:The crawler can also be transformed and combined with the included Ratchet figure to form a "lunar combat vehicle." This is a specialized interaction with the Ratchet toy, with two small ridges clipping into a gap on his roof and the repair claw now mounted in Ratchet's new 5mm peghole.

:This set also includes a much smaller and simpler crawler vehicle which can be converted into a handheld gun for any Cyberverse figure. A small satellite dish can also be handheld by two different handles, though it's really just a choice between whether it looks like a metal detector, a giant key, or a crossing guard's stop sign.

:Like other action sets, a removable cardboard backdrop for display is included. This time, the backdrop depicts the surface of [[Earth]]'s moon, with a rover and an [[Autobot]] flag in the background.

:Amusingly, the instructions repeatedly refer to the claw component as a ''rapair'' claw.

==Notes==
* The Lunar Crawler looks just like [[Roller (DOTM)|Roller]]'s alternate mode, but is large enough to house Roller comfortably between its treads. While it seems like there's ''some'' kind of [[scale]] issue going on here, as a made-up vehicle with no passenger compartment in evidence, it may be that the thing just comes in multiple sizes.
** Its repair station mode, on the other hand, bears a vague, perhaps coincidental resemblance to the [[Onebox component|station]] associated with [[Ratchet (G1)|another Ratchet]].
* Satellites are things up in orbit. The Lunar Crawler has a satellite ''dish''. Bad Hasbro copywriter! No biscuit!
* The Lunar Crawler is the only Cyberverse vehicle that doesn't fire a missile.

When [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and his [[Driller]] attacked, the trailer transformed into a weapons bay from which Prime retrieved an [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]] and a shield.

Optimus later took the trailer with him for the [[Autobot|Autobots']] staged exile from [[Earth]], and then to the city of [[Chicago]], which had been fortified by the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]].

**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''004'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV12'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, missile launcher, [[NEST]]

:This release of [[Cyberverse]] Optimus Prime comes with a clip on trailer, sporting movie-style Autobot emblems, that can transform into a “Battle Base”/Strike Base and an “Assault Vehicle”/Mechanical Exosuit. Several Mech Tech ports are available on the trailer, and the removable missile launcher has handles for it to be held by smaller Cyberverse figures as well as a 5mm post for it to attach to larger figures.

:The Battle Base [[stock photo]]s (seen to the right) and instructions oddly do not match. The instructions show a different configuration, with the trailer panels facing backward and being connected to the sides of the "turret". Also, the cannon itself is pegged right-side up onto the turret instead of being connected upside-down on the hinge, and the base of the turret is raised high enough that Optimus doesn't have to kneel to man the cannon.

:Thanks to the fortuitous position of the base connectors on the trailer sides, said panels can connect for a pair of makeshift wings for the base if so desired.

:Like other action sets, Optimus Prime comes with a cardboard backdrop. In his case, it's the human-sized [[AllSpark]] containment room in [[Diego Garcia]], with three soldiers guarding said [[sacred implement]]. With Optimus being dwarfed by the soldiers, it should not be necessary to mention that this is ''extremely'' out-of-[[scale]].

In defending the city, Blurr combined non-stop chatter with non-stop firepower and helped hold the Decepticons at bay until [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and reinforcements could arrive from [[Moonbase One]].

In the aftermath of the attack, Blurr was working on repairs with several of the remaining Autobots when [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] struck. After failing to get the obstinate [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] aboard a shuttle ("They were impossible impossible impossible!"), Blurr tossed the job over to [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and leapt aboard the second shuttle with Ultra Magnus. Pursued by Galvatron through space, the shuttle crew managed to escape only after detonating three-quarters of the ship. In need of repairs, they landed hard on the [[Junkion (planet)|planet of Junk]]. While Blurr was attending to some welding work, Galvatron and his soldiers caught up with them. Things went from bad to worse after Galvatron killed Ultra Magnus and took the [[Matrix of Leadership]], leaving the Autobots to deal with the planet's native inhabitants, the [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]]. Hostilities suddenly ceased, however, when Hot Rod and Kup arrived from [[Quintessa]] and negotiated a peace with the Junkions (complete with dance sequence!). Blurr then flew into the final battle with the planet-eater [[Unicron]] aboard the Junkion starship and was present when Hot Rod (now Rodimus Prime) reclaimed Cybertron in the name of the Autobots. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

As part of their "new era of peace and prosperity", the Autobots hosted the first annual [[Galactic Olympics]] several months later. Blurr really wanted to compete in the races, but instead was forced onto a mission with [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] to bring [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]'s [[transformation cog]] to Autobot City on Earth. This simple courier run soon became more hectic than it was worth, though. Running into the newly revived Decepticon leader, Galvatron, Blurr and Wheelie were the first Autobots to face his renewed power and ended up marooned on [[Jupiter]]'s moon of [[Io]]. There they encountered kamikaze creatures known as [[Lipole|lipoles]], who struck in unison like a hive and could transform into explosive missiles. The Autobots received support from [[Marissa Faireborn]] of [[Earth Defense Command]], but it wasn't until [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] arrived that they finally managed to fight their way through a squad of [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] and get off that rock. Blurr and Wheelie made it back to Autobot City and, after a short game of "Hot Potato" to get the cog through attacking Decepticons, restored Metroplex's transforming ability just in time to sic the giant Autobot on his rival, [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness}}

[[Image:Chaos Kup Blurr piloting ship.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]
Blurr participated in several important Autobot missions in the following months. When Kup uncovered a plot by the Decepticons to acquire the indestructible [[Death crystal|death crystals]] for their own purposes, Blurr joined him and an Autobot unit to visit the source of the crystals on planet [[Dread (planet)|Dread]]. Blurr faced the Predacons again on Dread and was almost consumed by quickmud before Sky Lynx pulled him free. Blurr and the other Autobots managed to keep [[Predaking]] busy long enough for Kup to rouse [[Chaos (alien)|Chaos]], the creature who was the source of the death crystals. Turning the crystals against Chaos himself, the Autobots destroyed the monster and deprived the Decepticons of their new weapon. {{storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}}

When Optimus Prime briefly returned from the dead, Blurr was aboard his flagship during the intended assault on the [[Quintesson|Quintessons]]' new home planet. He received word from Cybertron that Hot Rod and the other Autobots they were supposed rushing off to "avenge" were in fact alive, and preparing to rendez-vous with the fleet. {{storylink|Dark Awakening}}

[[Image:ForeverLongTimeComing Blurr carrying Blaster.jpg|thumb|left|200px!|If you're gonna ride, Dann-o .... Whoops, wrong script!]]
Later, Blurr joined [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] in exploring a bowl-shaped asteroid near Cybertron, and in doing so came across a [[Quintesson]] [[Time Window]]. During the battle with the [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]] and Quintesson star cruisers, Blurr fell through the time window along with [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]], [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and some of his cassettes. The Autobots found themselves 11 million years in the past, working with [[Beta (G1)|Beta]] and her rebellion as the first Autobots stood up against their Quintesson masters. Once the rebel leader, [[Alpha Trion (G1)|A3]], returned and used his coda remote on the [[Dark Guardian]]s, Blurr and his auto-buddies made their way back through the vortex and into the present once again. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

When the Autobots detected a seemingly threatening vessel in their airspace, Blurr attempted to interrogate the pilot, [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] of [[Paradron]]. Rather than being intimidated, however, Sandstorm just asked if there was something wrong with Blurr's timing program. Kup was quick to come to the young Autobot's defense and informed the Paradronian, "Naaaah, that's just the way he is." {{storylink|Fight or Flee}}

Blurr was among the Autobot warriors who assaulted the occupied nation of [[Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya|Carbombya]], to prevent the Decepticons from making more super-energon off of the country's oil reserves. [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]] beached himself off the coast to launch Blurr, Rodimus Prime, Wheelie and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] onto the nation's soil. After the Decepticons were driven off, they freed [[Abdul Fakkadi (G1)|Abdul Fakkadi]] and his advisors, and (somewhat reluctantly) restored him to power. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}}

[[Image:GhostMachine Blurr violated airspace.jpg|thumb|right|200px|"Sir, we're being violated!"]]
During the second coming of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]'s ghost, Blurr was working monitor duty on Cybertron with Springer. He was very good at his job, identifying [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] on an entry vector and the return of Unicron's eyes, but people kept having to interrupt his reports because he would. Not. Stop. Talking. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine}} Later on, he was part of the peace envoy overseeing the negotiations between [[Xetaxxis]] and [[Lanarq]]. {{storylink|The Quintesson Journal}} Blurr was also present for the unveiling of the new power generator on Cybertron, but even he wasn't fast enough to keep Grimlock from making a mess of things. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

[[Image:FaceOfNijika Blurr dangling.jpg|thumb|left|200px|]]
During an encounter with the Decepticons, Blurr and several Autobots encountered a "[[quadrant lock]]" created by the Quintessons and ended up falling through it along with [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]. Their landing on the planet [[Zamojin (planet)|Zamojin]] was a harsh one, and Blurr's leg strut was too damaged for him to walk. Separated from the scientist Perceptor in the fall, Blurr asked Rodimus and Ultra Magnus to leave him while they searched for their missing comrade. The leaders agreed, since Perceptor was also the one best suited for repairing Blurr's leg. Unfortunately, the helpless Blurr was soon found by the superstitious and powerful local populace and taken to a nearby city, where the people planned to toss him into a molten pool. In a wacky turn of events, though, that soak was just what Blurr needed to realign his leg components, and he popped out of the pool as fast as ever. {{storylink|The Face of the Nijika}}

When the [[Hate Plague]] was released, Blurr was one of several Autobots who were damaged and taken out of action early during the catastrophe. As a result, he was unaffected by the plague and, after some repair work by a Quintesson, was available to help the newly active Optimus Prime in his search for a cure. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2}}

[[Image:Rebirth1 Hardhead and Blurr.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Why isn't there more slashfic about this?]]

Sometime later, on Cybertron, Blurr was beaten in a race by Hot Rod and [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]]. This was done in part to help prove the engineer [[Brainstorm]]'s theory that Autobots could function better with human partners somehow incorporated into their fighting discipline. Little did anyone realize how soon that theory would be tested. After a major Decepticon offensive on Autobot City, Optimus Prime radioed Kup, Blurr and the others on Cybertron, warning them that the Decepticons were headed for the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]], deep beneath the planet's surface. The Autobots arrived just in time to prevent [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] from unleashing too much [[plasma energy]] using the key he'd stolen from Earth. What little plasma energy had been released, however, was enough to overcharge the engines of the Autobot ship, launching them out into space.

[[Image:Rebirth2 Blurr with gun.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Please pretend he is holding Haywire and not his regular gun. Thank you.]]
Blurr and his comrades crash-landed on the planet [[Nebulos]] and were quickly taken hostage by a group of rebels fighting against the machine army of their overlords, the [[Hive (G1)|Hive]]. The Autobots managed to convince their "hosts" to release them when the Decepticons arrived in hot pursuit, but Blurr and several other warriors were deactivated and taken hostage by the Decepticons as they fled. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} Brainstorm decided to put his ideas into action and created binary-bonded partnerships between the remaining Autobots and the rebels, forming [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]. The Headmasters rescued Blurr and the others, but were soon forced to fight again when the Decepticons joined forces with the Hive, having created both Headmaster and [[Targetmaster]] duos in response. This tech-war continued when Brainstorm scanned one of the Hive Targetmasters and used those scans to recreate the technology for the remaining Autobots. Blurr was binary-bonded with [[Haywire]], one of the Nebulan sharpshooters. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}}

He and the rest of the Autobots returned to Cybertron to try to prevent Galvatron from opening the Plasma Energy Chamber, but were unsuccessful. The day was ultimately saved by Spike and the Nebulons, who brought about a new [[Golden Age]], and Blurr was seen celebrating with the rest of the Autobots. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

=====''The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers''=====
Blurr participated in a space mission under the command of Rodimus Prime. He helped the other Autobots get the space-faring civilians to safety during a Decepticon attack while Rodimus battled Galvatron. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 1|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #1}} On another occasion, he battled the [[Megatron Corps]] — five clones of the old Decepticon leader being remotely controlled by Galvatron. Once Blurr and the others attacked Galvaton directly, the Megatron Corps fell all to pieces. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 2|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #2}} Blurr was also seen acting in defense of the planet [[Feminia]]. The Autobots protected the Prime Energy Tower from an all-out Decepticon attack. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #5}}

=====''The Headmasters'' cartoon=====
In 2011, Blurr was stationed on the Autobots' new tertiary base of operations, the planet [[Athenia]]. While other Autobots were dispatched to Cybertron during Galvatron's assault, Blurr remained behind as part of the rear guard. He observed what appeared to be a passing star on the monitors, but the image eventually cleared up to reveal a ''[[Fortress Maximus (G1)|starship]]'', headed for Cybertron. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} Even after the arrival of the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]], Blurr continued to fret over the situation. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} As Autobots forces engaged the Decepticons on several fronts on several planets, Blurr remained at home base with Kup and Arcee to practice his exposition. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}}

When Galvatron unleashed his [[Madmachine]], Blurr couldn't understand how one little bug could possibly threaten Vector Sigma. Arcee had to explain how the Decepticons could increase its magnetic power to the point where even the supercomputer would be in danger. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}} When the Aerialbots were brought down by a [[Metamorphose|dangerous meteorite]], Blurr informed Rodimus Prime the rescue team had been intercepted by the Decepticons. {{storylink|Approach of the Demon Meteorite}} Blurr was still taking messages with Kup and Arcee on Athenia weeks later. For a ridalin-deprived courier, he sure seems to stand around a lot. {{storylink|The Four-Million-Year-Old Veil of Mystery}}

Blurr watched helplessly as Galvatron beat the scrap out of Rodimus Prime. Only after the Decepticon Commander wandered off to have a meeting with [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundblaster]] did Blurr work up the courage to go see if Rodimus was okay. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} With the destruction of Cybertron, Blurr joined Rodimus Prime and Kup in their quest to look for a new planet to settle on. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}}

He apparently had time to sneak back in when he heard Fortress was having a party, though. {{storylink|The Shadow Emperor, Scorponok}}

Blurr is four million years old. {{storylink|Skin Deep}}

''Hundreds of years ago, Blurr and [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] were captured by aliens from the planet [[Tyroxia]], but managed to escape in a ship. The ship was pursued by the Tyroxians, but the aliens were intercepted by the Autobot [[Kup (G1)|Kup]], an old-timer who had considered himself obsolete and had sent himself off to pasture. Hot Rod implored Kup to help him and Blurr, but Kup maintained that he was done with the war and was of no use to anyone. Ultimately, Kup had to rescue Hot Rod and Blurr from the Tyroxians one final time, and the old mech decided to give the war one more go. {{storylink|Kup's Story!}}

[[Image:RingofHate-Blurremissary.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Oh no! [[:Image:Bonk.jpg|Context!]]]]

Blurr was part of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]'s unit on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] when the commander reached a turning point. After Blurr helped free a group of captive Autobots being herded into the [[smelting pool]], Fortress Maximus announced that he was quitting the war and leaving for the peaceful planet [[Nebulos]]. Blurr and the others were stunned by this announcement, but nonetheless decided to join Fortress Maximus in his exile.

Blurr was sent as an ambassador to the Nebulan capital city, [[Koraja]]. However, the politician [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]] did not trust these visitors to his world, and so he sabotaged the meeting to convince the others to rise up against the Autobots. While Blurr spoke, [[Krunk]] fired a magenetic polarizer weapon at Blurr's arm, which caused it to spasm and topple a fountain sculpture. As the debris bounced around, endangering the surrounding civilianz, Zarak's personal militia retaliated, and Blurr fled.

Fortress Maximus didn't give up on peace with the Nebulans, however, and he took Blurr and the others back into Koraja. In order to prove to the Nebulans that he could be trusted, Fortress Maximus offered his head to them. A few other Autobots followed his lead and offered their heads, while Blurr and the rest surrendered only their weapons. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}}

The headless Autobots were kept under surveillance by the Nebulans, while Blurr's group of weaponless Autobots retreated to the forest, where they began construction of their headquarters. When the [[Council of Peers]] arrived to inspect the Autobots' efforts, Blurr showed them around. He pointed out Hot Rod, who was listening in on their Cybertron headquarters, but not transmitting anything, lest the Decepticons learn their location. Zarak and [[Vorath]] took this opportunity to lock onto the frequency, and they later used this information to contact the Decepticons. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}}

[[Image:BrothersinArmor-Targetmasters.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Wonder what happens if you forget to catch them.]]

The Decepticons arrived, and after both sides adopted the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] process, the Headmaster Autobots were captured by the Decepticons. Blurr and the remaining Autobots who lived in the forest remained weaponless, so they teamed up with various Nebulans who sided with the Autobot-allied Nebulan [[Galen]] and thus were considered criminals by the Council of Peers. Blurr's partner was [[Haywire]], who had, like the others, undergone the [[Targetmaster]] process to become a weapon for his partner.

Blurr and the other Targetmasters headed for [[The Nursery]], where they found themselves under attack by [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]]. The Autobots' new Targetmaster powers overwhelmed the Decepticons, but not before the Nursery was reduced to rubble. Zarak, who was Scorponok's Headmaster partner, realized that this war was quickly destroying the planet he loved, and so he freed the Autobot Headmasters, allowing the Autobots to leave Nebulos. The Decepticons followed Blurr and the other Autobots to [[Earth]], where they wished to respond to an Autobot distress signal. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

When Galen died on Earth and his role as Fortress Maximus's Headmaster partner was assumed by [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]], Spike led Kup and the other Targetmasters on a mission to the [[Club Con|Decepticon's island headquarters]] to rescue his brother, [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]]. After Blurr and the other Targetmasters were attacked by the island's defense measures, the island transformed into a spaceship and launched into space. {{storylink|The Desert Island of Space!}} Soon, Fortress Maximus's Autobots met up with the Earth-bound Autobots led by [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], and somehow the two Autobot camps wound up witnessing a battle between Grimlock and [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] for Autobot leadership. Blurr, along with the Autobots from both camps, began to watch this battle on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] when [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s Decepticons unleashed a surprise attack. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

[[Image:Allfalldown-blurr.jpg|left|100px|thumb|Blurr's keyboard doesn't even HAVE a spacebar.]]

When the Decepticon [[Air Strike Patrol]] attacked [[MacDill Air Force Base]] on Earth, Optimus Prime (who had returned to command) led most of the Autobot Army into battle, including Blurr, leaving only a skeleton crew behind on the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}} After Scorponok's Decepticons arrived as well, Prime ordered Blurr and the rest of his troops to return to the Ark, suspecting an unknown entity was orchestrating this battle behind the scenes. {{storylink|All the Familiar Faces!}} When Blurr and the others returned to the Ark, they discovered that not only was [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] missing, but in his absence [[Blackjack]] had disabled the skeleton crew and placed bombs on board. Blackjack, who was startled by the Autobots, dropped the bomb, which started the countdown. Kup refused to allow the Autobots to flee the Ark in its shuttles, citing the lack of time to evacuate their fallen comrades in the medical bays, which prompted Blurr to panic. Blurr and the others were saved when Ratchet, who had been kidnapped by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] (the mastermind behind the whole affair), arranged for the bombs to be teleported to Cybertron. Instead of blowing up the Ark, the bomb detonated inside Megatron's headquarters, apparently killing both Megatron and Ratchet. {{storylink|Skin Deep}}

When the Matrix-possessed Thunderwing invaded the Ark, Blurr used his speed to good advantage, dodging the Decepticon's attacks and punching the Matrix-aura demon repeatedly. These blows accomplished little, though, and the aura punched him back. {{storylink|All Fall Down (issue)|All Fall Down}} The Matrix was believed to be lost in this battle, and so Optimus Prime, who feared the imminent arrival of their race's godlike enemy, [[Unicron]], took drastic measures. The Autobot leader surrendered his forces to Scorponok's Decepticons, hoping to secure an alliance against the coming Chaos Bringer. This did not please Blurr and the other Autobots, who were forced to turn over their weapons and Nebulan partners. {{storylink|Surrender!}}

In an alternate future, the Autobots faced near-extinction in 2009 when [[Unicron]] destroyed Cybertron and [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] had very nearly conquered Earth. Blurr and Kup were killed by [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] during the Decepticons' rise to power. {{storylink|Rhythms of Darkness!}}

=====Marvel UK future timelines=====
''In the future year 2003, Blurr was among the many Autobots stationed at the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] when [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] began his plans for a new [[Autobot City]] on Earth. It was his responsibility to send a hyper-speeded radio signal to Earth's governments, informing them about the secret plans for the city. Apparently, the Autobots decided regular codes would be too much work, so they just had Blurr dictate the plans! {{storylink|Ark Duty}} He was also on-site a year later at the grand opening of Autobot City, and helped defend their honored human guests from an assault by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] and the Decepticons. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}''

[[Image:MarvelUK87 Blurr.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Looking rather green in the gills]]''Shortly after the attack on Autobot City in 2006, Blurr received some psychic coaching from Unicron to follow the new Decepticon leader, Galvatron, back through time to 1986 and stop his plans. Blurr was joined by Kup and Hot Rod, and upon materializing in the 20th century they joined forces with the local Ultra Magnus. Being as colossally powerful as Galvatron was, Blurr and his allies decided subterfuge was the better course of action than brute force. In order to get Galvatron to return to the future without a fuss, they manipulated him into believing he had travelled cross-time to an alternate 1986, where his actions in the past would have no effect on his future. It really proved to be that simple, and so Galvatron returned to 2006 with his cronies, and Blurr, Kup and Hot Rod quickly followed suit. {{storylink|Target: 2006}}''

[[Image:MarvelUK119 Kup Blurr.jpg|thumb|right|200px|And thrust!, 2!, 3!]]''After Unicron was defeated in 2006, Galvatron again fled back in time. Blurr was once again on the team that went back to retrieve him, this time teamed with Kup, [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] and Hot Rod, now as the newly risen Autobot leader, Rodimus Prime. {{storylink|Burning Sky!}} It was deja vu all over again, as the future Autobots again joined forces with 20th century Ultra Magnus to counter Galvatron's latest scheme. The evil Decepticon planned to use a [[power siphon|magma siphon]] to drain power out of the planet's volcanic core, and gain the strength of a god in the process. Blurr and Kup were taken out of action early in the game and, despite the best laid plans, the future Autobots only managed to stop Galvatron's power siphon: the Decepticon himself remained in the past as they returned to the future. {{storylink|Fire on High!}}''

''Blurr remained one of Rodimus Prime's finest soldiers in the future. In 2008, he helped defend the Autobot position against a massive Decepticon offensive, {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}} and accompanied Rodimus Prime on a rescue mission to Earth when the [[Quintesson]]s lay siege to Autobot City. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}''

''When the timestorm exploded over space in 2009, Blurr joined Rodimus Prime and several other Autobots in travelling back to 1989, in the hopes of somehow removing the menace caused by Galvatron's long-term temporal distortion. Unfortunately, the mechanics of the time-jump mass displacement shunted Optimus Prime and other Autobots of 1989 into [[Limbo]] as they arrived, leaving smoldering earth in their wakes. The neophyte Autobot sub-commander [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] jumped to the wrong conclusions and led his 20th century warriors into battle with their 21st century counterparts. Blurr was double-teamed by [[Scattershot (G1)|Scattershot]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] before Optimus managed to communicate with Maximus through the Matrix in Rodimus Prime's chest and call an end to the fighting. Despite being thrown for the loop, AND shot by Galvatron once the Autobots all lined up on one side, Blurr held out through the entire fight, and was still standing during Optimus Prime's climactic brawl with Galvatron, after nearly every other warrior had been downed. {{storylink|Time Wars (issue)|Time Wars}}''

[[Image:MarvelUK224 Head Toss.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Why couldn't Haywire be a Headmaster partner?]]''After the Time Wars, the Autobots returned to 2009, but found it radically changed in their absence. It seemed the timestream had rebooted itself as if Galvatron had never left for the past to cause the timestorm. With Galvatron still around to lead the Decepticons, they had managed to maintain control over Cybertron after the war with Unicron, and the Autobots held only a meager resistance movement on their homeworld. Blurr, Rodimus and the others returned to this "new" war as best they could, but were hopelessly outmatched on Cybertron. After suffering a communications breakdown with one of their outposts, Rodimus Prime and allies arrived only to find Galvatron had taken control of the base and slaughtered the Autobots present. He saved a particularly gruesome fate for Blurr, and actually tossed the poor Autobot's severed head at Rodimus Prime once he arrived. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}''

''In another version of the future, Blurr actually survived! He lived 'til at least the year 2510 when he personally delivered the news to Rodimus Prime that the last Decepticon had been killed and the war was over. Of course, a new war between the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] and the [[Wrecker|Wreckers]] broke out within a solar cycle, so Blurr still had a chance to get killed in battle. {{storylink|Peace}}''

===''Transformers in 3-D''===
Blurr took part in a mission to an asteroid to find a new source of [[Energon (fuel)|energon]]. When [[Lightspeed (G1 Technobot)|Lightspeed]] discovered a [[Observer|small life form]], Blurr had great fun playing with it, until Lightspeed insisted on conducting tests. After Magnus took the others in pursuit of [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] and ran into a bunch more Decepticons, Blurr was instructed to bring [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] to the battleground. Blurr did so and even got to take a swipe at [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], but was promptly picked up and tossed into the distance by [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. He came back pretty quickly, though. {{storylink|The Test (issue)|The Test}}

When [[Monitorus]] arrived on Cybertron with the news that [[Tau-Ursa]] had been attacked and leveled by the Decepticons, Blurr rushed him to Optimus Prime and started alliterating a lot in his speech. They were soon interrupted by a Decepticon attack, which Blurr took part in an attempt to repel. As it turned out, the attack was a diversion while Galvatron used his new [[Nullification Cannon]] to nullify Cybertron's energon supplies.

Later, Blurr and Hot Rod traveled to Tau-Ursa to inspect the damage and search for stray Decepticons. They stumbled on [[Apeface|Ape Face]], who had found a [[Logicon]] warning beacon. A struggle ensued, and Blurr was able to wrest the beacon's recording tape from the Decepticon. The pair high-tailed it back to Cybertron, where the tape turned out to contain the coordinates to [[Metascan Alpha]], a planet containing a vast storehouse of energon. Blurr accompanied Optimus on a mission to the Decepticons' base on a derelict space destroyer to destroy the Nullification Cannon. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

After [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s "joint" takeover of Cybertron with Ultra Magnus, Blurr was among the Autobots who rebelled against the idea. He joined an underground Autobot cell led by Kup and Hot Rod to oppose Shockwave. Along with fellow cell members Hot Rod and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], he observed a Decepticon shuttle (actually piloted by the Dinobots) from the [[Wastelands]]. {{storylink|Cold War (issue)|Cold War}}

Later, after [[Gnaw]] brought an unconscious Optimus Prime to their base, Blurr and Wheelie tried to subdue the legendary Autobot from mistakenly pounding Gnaw to death after he woke up. (Blurr's attempt was to punch Optimus in the face, which nearly broke his hand. Points for gumption.) {{storylink|Passive Aggression}} Soon after, Blurr participated in Optimus Prime's Autobot uprising, battling the Decepticons and [[Guardian Robot]]s, which ended Shockwave's rule. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}}

Before the war, Blurr was the number one [[Cybertronian sport|racer]] on Cybertron. The stardom this provided meant he got into the best clubs, was worshiped by fans, and was a grade-A jackass, to the point where he couldn't be bothered remembering his [[Piston|co-workers']] names. However all this changed when the war broke out. The race track was bombed and the races themselves canceled. Blurr found himself despairing, both due to his life falling apart and to both sides attempting to recruit him. Not long after "bumping" into [[Starscream (G1)|a Decepticon]], Blurr got caught up in a gunfight that resulted in the death of both Piston and [[Fasttrack (IDW)|Fasttrack]]. Blurr had had enough, but after some harsh but fair words from [[Optimus Prime (G1)|a unit commander]], he realized that the reason he'd been so into the races was because it was something that mattered. Using that feeling, he accepted the mission to reach [[Zeta Prime]] and became an Autobot. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blurr}}

Sometime after that, Blurr was working with Optimus Prime and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] in defense of one of Cybertron's major cities. Using his speed, he broke through the Decepticon ranks and kept them distracted while the other Autobots held the line. He and [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] were seen celebrating later on at the victory party. {{storylink|The Iron Age}}

Several million years later, Blurr was part of a unit led by [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] and successfully drove the Decepticons off an unknown planet. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 14|Replay}} Blurr later began working alongside the Wreckers and was recruited into a new elite fighting unit on-board the starship ''[[Trion]]'' by [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Drift}}

{{note|It is unclear whether Blurr became an official member of the Wreckers before Kup cannibalized that team to make his own strike force.}}

[[Image:Slowmotionmoviewalkahm5.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Blurr battles without honor or humanity.]]

After [[Drift (G1)|Drift]] was recruited into the crew of the ''Trion'', Blurr spent quite some time playing [[Go]] with him, although the name of the game confused him. He later reported [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]]'s status to Kup and helped save [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] from [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] and the [[Pretender Monster]]s. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 15|Lost & Found}}

Blurr was on the ''Trion'' when the ship was shot down and forced to crash-land on the devastated surface of Cybertron. Blurr and the rest of the team survived the crash and met up with Optimus Prime's unit, who were also stranded on the planet. Prime had suffered heavy damage back on Earth, and [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] was now in charge. When Jazz got a little uppity with Kup, Blurr tried to bring him down...only to find out that "hard core" beats fast every time. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 5}} The two Autobot units began working together under Kup and Jazz, and found themselves on the run from the [[Insecticon swarm]]. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 6}} Blurr and Drift were sent out on scouting patrol to keep the Autobots informed of the Swarm's movements. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 7}}

Unfortunately, Blurr was too far away when the swarm actually made their move, and by the time he reached his comrades with a warning, they were already under attack. He later offered to blow up a bridge to keep the swarm away, but Kup wouldn't let him, as not even Blurr could outrun an explosion. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 8}} The Autobot base was eventually overrun by the swarm, but Blurr and the others were saved by [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 10}}

[[Image:RudeAwakening-Blurrcar.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Hey, look, I have an Earth mode!]]

Two years later, Blurr was still stationed on Earth with the Autobots under Optimus Prime's command. After Prime surrendered himself to [[Skywatch]], Blurr initially rejected Hot Rod's proposal to abandon the humans and their planet. He remained behind in the caves with the Autobots who, after a vote, came under [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]'s leadership. {{storylink|New Arrivals, Old Encounters}} Once [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] arrived, however, the mood in the camp shifted appreciably. Many Autobots noticed Bumblebee's lack of authority in the shadow of Ultra Magnus and began to worry they would be somehow blamed or even arrested for Prime's actions. Blurr chose to leave the Autobots along with [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]], [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] and [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]], and they drove off to find Hot Rod. Not long after their departure, though, the foursome were attacked by a Skywatch patrol. Blurr's comrades were disabled by [[Mode lock|mode-lock]] technology, and only his hyper-speed allowed him to escape capture as well. {{storylink|A Rude Awakening}}

[[Image:ImpossibleKnot-Blurr.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Or wait, no. Sorry.]]

All of Blurr's speed was useless when he didn't know where to go. He wandered the desert for days, fruitlessly trying to reach Hot Rod's group via his Autobot comms. Eventually, he was confronted by Bumblebee and his unit, who had made a Faustian deal with Skywatch to hunt down the Decepticons still active on the planet. Blurr was the first Autobot Skywatch had sent them after, and the Autobots had only agreed after [[Gordon Horiuchi|their contact]] demonstrated the ability to mode-lock the Autobots remotely using the badges which had been provided to them. Blurr, already anxious, didn't take Bumblebee's request to surrender very well, and he actually shot his friend in the chest while trying to escape. He was brought back to the caves by the Autobots, but they ultimately refused to turn him over to Skywatch. They found a way to escape Skywatch's domination when Bumblebee's badge malfunctioned due to Blurr's blast, leaving him unaffected by the mode lock. In order to keep Skywatch in the dark, they enlisted Blurr to recover a duplicate yellow Volkswagen Beetle to turn over to Skywatch as "Bumblebee". Despite his concerns, Blurr reluctantly agreed to help with the plan. {{storylink|The Impossible Knot}}

After the termination of their short-lived alliance with Horiuchi, Ultra Magnus returned, demanding assistance from Bumblebee's Autobots to arrest [[Hot Rod (G1)|"Rodimus Prime"]] and his followers for colluding with [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]]'s Decepticons. Overruling Bumblebee's authority, he also deputised Blurr, dismissing Bumblebee's protests that the speedy Autobot had recently endured a major trauma at the hands of Skywatch. They arrived at the construction site of Rodimus's starship and watched as the two Autobot commanders bickered over the point of arresting somebody for treason now that the war was over. However, all argument between the Autobots ceased when Swindle revealed his treachery through his latest creation: the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticon]] combiner [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. {{storylink|Enemies of the System}}

The battle against the new gestalt warrior was going poorly for Blurr and the others until help literally dropped from the sky...landing right on top of Swindle. Optimus Prime joined the fight and the Autobots eventually managed to subdue Menasor. {{storylink|Earthworks}}

At Bumblebee's discretion, Blurr and the other Autobots allied themselves fully with Skywatch. {{storylink|All His Engines}}

Four months later, the Decepticons returned to Earth and devastated the Autobot-Skywatch base. Ultra Magnus led Blurr and the others to regroup at Omega Supreme, though they were chased by humans with Cybertronian weaponry on the way. The convoy came to a swift stop when it ran into Megatron, whose new and upgraded body allowed him to shrug off the Autobots' firepower and take them all out with a single blast. {{storylink|Revenge of the Decepticons Part 3: Woken Furies}}

A few weeks later, Blurr was present at Omega Supreme when Rodimus came back from space with a bunch of long-lost Autobots in tow. He listened to [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] tell stories, then joined the rest of the Autobots in leaving Earth and returning to Cybertron. {{storylink|Space Opera—Final Tableaux: Orphans of the Helix}}

*'''Blurr''' (Autobot Car, 1986)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''C-79'''
**''Accessories'': "Electro-laser" rifle, shield

: Blurr transforms into a blue Cybertronic hovercar. As his type of vehicle didn't have traditional rubber-tired wheels, he instead had small plastic wheels on his robot legs, which were tucked underneath the length of the hovercar mode. The nose portion of the vehicle detaches to serve as a shield in robot mode.

: The initial releases of this toy have decals on the side of his vehicle-mode pontoons that are cut in a "V" shape. Later releases made the decals a simpler four-sided shape with a darker blue in the former empty part of the "V", matching the plastic color beneath. There is also a variation to his rifle; the main body of the rifle has three small holes in the rectangular indent just over the hand-peg, but only on ''one side''. Samples with the holes on either side of the rifle have been found. The large circular indent at the back of the rifle body, a detail that appears on both sides of the gun, is also deeper on the side that the three holes appear on.

*'''Blurr''' (Targetmaster, 1987)
**''Accessories'': Haywire Targetmaster, shield

: A [[retool]] of the previous year's toy, Blurr was adapted to be able to hold his Nebulan/weapon [[Haywire]], replacing his pistol from the previous release. His fist-holes were widened to accommodate Haywire's [[5mm post]], plus a weapon-mount point was added to his midsection/vehicle-hood. Thanks to the wider fist-holes, the peg for Blurr's shield was also expanded.

: This toy uses the "full" variant of the original toy's pontoon decals, as well as using a darker aqua-blue paint for the front tips of the pontoons. His shield has also been painted with this shade of aqua, an inexplicable ''addition'' to the toy's [[paint operation]]s.

: Blurr is a [[retool]] of ''Generations'' [[Drift (G1)|Drift]], transforming into a cross between a [[Wikipedia:Nissan Silvia#S15|Nissan Silvia S15]] and a [[Wikipedia:Mitsubishi FTO|Mitsubishi FTO]]. Tooling changes involve a new head, a less prominent spoiler, a set of guns to replace Drift's swords, the inside panels of the doors to accommodate said guns and as an extremely appropriate feature, more free-running wheels. The head sculpt is influenced by [[Guido Guidi]]'s Blurr redesign from the IDW comics. The new large gun has a pivoting handle in the middle so that Blurr can hold the gun easily with both fists, while the two smaller guns can plug into the end of the barrel, forming a bipod, or if you feel like it, a crazy (but awesome) THREE-barrelled gun.
:For some reason, the ankle strut, molded of clear plastic, is ''completely'' painted over.

:The original version of this mold, though with Blurr's guns, was also used to make [[Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]] [[Drift (SG)|Drift]].

*'''Blurr''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''UN-16'''
**''Accessories:'' "Blaster rifle", left & right "laser blaster guns"

:''[[United (toyline)|United]]'' Blurr features a deco heavily inspired by the [[IDW Publishing]] rendition of the character that the toy is based upon. His robot mode consists mostly of four different shades of light blue on his arms, legs, and chest. Metallic blueish silver on his torso to match the color scheme used on the covers of "[[Spotlight: Blurr]]". Almost the entirety of his car mode is painted metallic blue with light blue details. He also features a more detailed rear end in car mode than his ''Generations'' counterpart as well as painted silver rims. He lacks the off-white stripe going down the center of the Generations version. Also the entire front of his head is painted, as well as his shoulders. Additionally, the blue stripes on his legs are a dark blue-green. The black on ''Generations'' Blurr's torso and tires is now a very dark blue on United Blurr. Even for a [[TakaraTomy]] Deluxe sized figure, Blurr features a very large amount of paint applications.

* Forbes.com declared Blurr to be the fastest fictional car, beating out Speed Racer's ''[[wikipedia:Mach Five|Mach Five]]'' by a top speed difference of over 500mph.<ref>[http://www.forbes.com/lifestyle/2008/05/07/fastest-fictional-cars-forbeslife-cx_mn_de_0507sort.html Blurr named fastest car by Forbes]</ref>

'''[[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]''' has enough toys to afford several new cannons.

[[Image:Movie Legends Ironhide DesertBlackout.jpg|right|300px|thumb|''Don't mess'', Blackout, or Ironhide will wave his fist angrily while you fly out of range!]]
*'''Ironhide Vs. Desert Blackout''' (Legends "Allspark Battles" two-pack, 2008)

: An all-new Ironhide tooling that packs considerable accuracy into his small, simple design. Unlike the Voyager class toy, Legends Ironhide stores his cannons in the truck's bed. He comes with a desert scheme redeco of Legends class [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]].

: Amusingly, this version of Ironhide is one of only two American toy releases that has full-length exhaust stacks. Also, there are many complaints about the fists sticking out of the back of the truck and the weird truck proportions.

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Voyager Ironhide toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|[[Guiltaur]] called, he wants his weapon back.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MA-09'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Ironhide transforms into a modified black 2006 [[wikipedia:GMC Topkick|GMC Topkick]] 4500 four-wheel drive pickup truck. Although Hasbro's official stock photos and early packaged [[Prototype|samples]] featured two real-life accurate full length exhaust smokestacks behind the rear cabin, they have been slightly shortened for [[For safety reasons|safety]] and durability reasons for the actual release of the toy. Otherwise, however, the vehicle mode is very accurate to the real prop truck... well, aside from the fact that Ironhide's massive missile launchers are quite visible underneath the vehicle. Despite rumors to the contrary, TakaraTomy's Japanese release of the toy features the same shortened smokestacks as the Hasbro version.

:Ironhide features an [[Automorph]] gimmick in his legs during transformation: As the user swings down his feet, all of the panels that make up his legs automatically shift and fold into place. This gimmick does not affect Ironhide's articulation. Confusingly, the instructions omit the exact positioning of the roof panels and rear window on his back, though they can fold into a compact design for maximum articulation.

:In robot mode,his arm-mounted cannons are inactive while mounted on both arms. However, detaching the left arm cannon and combining it with the right arm creates a '''huge''' functional missile launcher that is almost as big as Ironhide himself. The missile-launching mechanism itself isn't the typical spring-loaded button design, instead relying on a pressure-launch system to fire the missiles from the four barrels.

:The soles of his feet/truck bed are completely smooth and featureless, hiding his feet in truck mode. Unfortunately, the smooth soles also mean that his feet have trouble gripping most surfaces. This, combined with his loose above-the-knee swivels, means that he has trouble standing up in all but the stiffest of poses. The peg that holds his windshield is also prone to cracking, which makes it become loose, and might even result in breakage.

*'''Offroad Ironhide''' (Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Released as part of the "Allspark Power" refresh of the Movie toyline, Offroad Ironhide is a fairly extensive redeco of Voyager class Ironhide in colors reminiscent of the ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[Motormouth]].

:Premium Ironhide is a redeco of the previous released Voyager class Ironhide, painted in a gloss black finish, silver trim on his smokestacks, Road Armor winch and side turn signal detailing, but with them are several inaccurate deco additions including silver detailing to the rims, frosted windows, silver paint on the roof ridges and a large Autobot sigil tampographed onto the hood.

:In robot mode Ironhide is considerably more accurate with gold and gunmetal detailing colors which were missing from the first Voyager release. His large cannons are now molded in mostly black plastic, then painted metallic teal with gold detailing.

:Part of the [[Fast Action Battlers]] line, "Cannon Blast" Ironhide is a simpler version of the larger toy, geared more towards the younger set who might find the big toy too complicated to transform. He still transforms into the customized GMC Topkick. He features a spring-loaded missile launcher in his left cannon. But, thanks to the simpler transformation, the hood and wheels trap his arms below the wheel. He can't punch or aim his cannon at all, and the elbows have no articulation but swiveling that knocks the arm off his body.

:A redeco of the Fast Action Battler Ironhide, this version sports a silver and blue color scheme that is both a reversal of the "Offroad" Ironhide Voyager figure... and seemingly an [[homage]] to the [[:Image:G2Gobot_Ironhide.jpg|''Generation 2'' Go-Bots version]] of his ''[[Generation 1]]'' [[Ironhide (G1)|counterpart]], a redeco of Motormouth (see above).

Like most Cyber Slammers, Ironhide manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

*'''Ironhide''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher cannon, energy cannon, projectile

: ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager class Ironhide is a retool of the toy from the 2007 ''Transformers'' movie line. The original arm cannons have been replaced by new, more accurate (and less [[Gimmick|gimmicky]]) cannons that can be connected together and mounted on top of Ironhide's truck bed cover. The truck bed cover and arm mountings for this Ironhide's cannons are unchanged from the 2007 movie line voyagers. So any voyager Ironhide can carry and use both the original and new weapons. The large cannon features screwdriving firing action in which the barrel section twists forward before firing the missile. The small cannon can retract its barrel and has a 5mm hole on its underside that allows it to plug into the peg on the large cannon like a scope if so desired. The smaller cannon can also be swung down flush with the barrel of the larger cannon, evoking the giant missile launcher combo from the 2007 mold. Since the weapons can connect to each other, the figure (and all other uses of this mold) can hold these and the combined 2007 cannons at once. All four cannons can fit on his truck mode as well, the old ones underneath and the new ones on top. Ironhide's head has been replaced with a more accurate, asymmetrical head. Ironhide also features a new grey colour scheme with some red pin stripes and a [[NEST]] logo on each of his doors.

: According to the box pictures and instructions, the small cannon is misassembled. The gray sliding shaft is actually reversed from the direction it is supposed to be facing. This doesn't affect anything, but can be easily fixed by loosening the screws on the black outer section, sliding out the shaft, then turning it around and putting it back in.

: A packaging variant determines whether the missile is loaded or unloaded in the box.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-26'''
**''Accessories:'' Assault rifle, mini-gun, knife A, knife B, bullbar/crossbow, cannon, spring-loaded cannon/crossbow, projectile

:Recon Ironhide is an extensive retool, replacing his doors with military Humvee-style armoured door panels, adding a roof/truck bed-mounted lighting rig/weapons rack and replacing his Road Armor fender with a massive bullbar that can be removed and combined with his spring-loaded cannon to form a crossbow weapon. Ironhide's traditional arm-mounted weapons have been replaced with the aforementioned spring-loaded cannon, a smaller static version of his right-arm mounted cannon, an assault rifle, a mini-gun, and two combat knives, one being short and serrated, the other being long and straight-edged.

:In one of the first intentional uses of the [[C joint]] system (if not ''the'' first), either knife can be attached to the front of the rifle to act as a bayonet, and the rifles and knives can be attached to his various bars and rails. The rifle and mini-gun can be pegged to the sides of his arm mounted cannons, and they can also peg into the main barrel of his static arm cannon.

:Think he's armed enough yet? Additionally, this retool of Ironhide includes a new head-sculpt featuring his battle mask.

:In an unfortunate change, possibly [[For safety reasons|for durability reasons]], all of Ironhide's (newly-tooled) windows are now cast in opaque plastic, compared to the translucent plastic seen on previous versions of this toy.

*'''Ironhide''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Weapon pod

:A new-sculpt Deluxe-sized figure of Ironhide, with a surprisingly complex transformation and an almost ridiculously [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] (and surprisingly stable) robot mode. His smokestacks are of the long variety.

:The toy comes with a transforming weapon accessory, his missile turret from the [[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video game]]. Sadly, this goes at the expense of a movie-accurate cannon for the left arm. The turret can stay attached to his arm when transforming back to his vehicle mode, thanks to a hard to notice joint on the other arm's cannon flipping open to allow more room, ensuring no chance of losing this accessory. In an undocumented feature, the turret can also attach to the back of Ironhide's vehicle mode by slotting two of its legs into two small holes on the truck bed, the third leg can them be positioned forward and slot into a groove on the back of the cab. This can be quite difficult however if (in another undocumented feature) you do not fully extend the turret's legs which are attached to a black piece which allows all 3 legs to fold down further than just pulling each one out individually; this allows for a greater range of movement and allows the turret to be aimed upwards. Interestingly, his hands can hold 5mm weapons, which means he can use Recon Ironhide's or MechTech weapons.

{{picsneeded|Japanese version}}

:The [[TakaraTomy]] ''Autobot Alliance'' release of this figure features a significant colouring change: Where Hasbro's release cast much of Ironhide's legs, feet, hands, shoulders and some joints in a bright gunmetal colour, TakaraTomy's uses dark grey plastic.

:''[[Cyberverse]]'' Commander Ironhide is a brand new mold. He comes with two cannons that can attach to the sides or top of his Topkick mode. One of his cannons has a [[C joint]], allowing it to attach to the bed cover, and both cannons can combine into a larger weapon. In robot mode, he can attach his guns on the sides of his arms, his back, or hold them in his hands. One cannon features a free spinning barrel.

:Unfortunately, his arms don’t swing out far enough in robot mode, limiting his pose ability somewhat. His upper arms have swivel articulation to compensate for this, though.

*'''Ironhide''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA04'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Booster/Particle Cannon

:''[[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Voyager class Ironhide is an all-new mold that is smaller, but more accurate, than previous Voyager class Ironhide toys.

:He comes with a large [[MechTech]] "Booster" that converts into a "Particle Cannon" by extending and spinning its barrels when the back is pressed. Twisting the knob at the back of the weapon when it is fully extended will lock it into place. The Booster/Particle Cannon (or any other MechTech weapon) can be attached to Ironhide via [[5mm post]] MechTech ports on either side and on top of Ironhide's vehicle mode, as well as being held in his fists or mounted under his forearms via MechTech ports in robot mode. Additionally, the Booster/Particle Cannon itself features a Mechtech port on its housing. The cannons and weapons included with the previous Voyager class Ironhide toys can also be used with this figure.

:He also has an [[Automorph]] gimmick on his vehicle front end/chest, wherein pushing it automatically deforms both halves of the front end into his chest, and pulling it reforms it back to the vehicle front end.

:This new mold also addresses the stability issues of previous Voyager Ironhides by having the soles of his feet be more textured and rough, allowing it to stand up better. Unfortunately, this results in unsightly gaps on the truck bed in vehicle mode. Oh well.

:The [[stock photo]] on the right has him mis-transformed. The vehicle mode kibble on his left leg has not been pegged in, his feet are backwards, and the tailgate pieces, normally folded into the soles of his feet, are left flipped out and sticking out from the back.

:The Japanese release comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

*'''Cannon Force Ironhide''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Booster/Particle Cannon
:Cannon Force Ironhide is a redeco of Dark of the Moon Voyager class Ironhide in a G1-inspired color scheme, with most of his black parts being cast in red. His deco consists of the upper half of his vehicle being red and his lower half being painted a matte black, with an orange stripe running in-between. His Mechtech weapon has been redecoed as well, with a cooler shade of gray for the housing, and black for the main cannon body.

====Leader Class toys====
[[Image:DOTM-Leader-Class-Ironhide.jpg|thumb|300px|Oh for god's sake, it's where you left it, 'hide.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Mechtech Leader, 2011)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''DA16'''
**''Accessories:'' Knife, leg-mounted removable spring-loaded cannon, one projectile

:This version of Ironhide is his first [[Size class|Leader Class]] toy and features all sorts of weaponry and other [[gimmick]]s.

:His main gimmick is his chest-mounted Cybertronian Blitz Cannon, which is activated when either the license plate panel (used as a lever) on his abdomen is flipped and pushed down (similarly to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys 2|the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class Optimus Prime toy]]), or when a tall gray piece on the back-right of his head is pressed down. Two flaps on his abdomen open up, and a back-lit spinning cannon is deployed, lighting up his eyes as well as playing a rapid-fire shooting sound until the button is released, in which the cannon retracts back into his innards and a winding/powering-down sound is played.

:Ironhide's other lights and sounds gimmick is related to his head: when either the button on his chest or the lever on the back of his head are used, his [[mouthplate]] moves down, his eyes flash green and says the following the phrases, "Ironhide, here" and "Weapons ready". He also features cannons mounted on his arms/roof that pop out and deploy when each respective smokestack is pulled, and can be used in either vehicle or robot mode. There is also a small button behind the cabin that emits a (rather vague) sound of the vehicle driving and firing its cannons/ramming through obstacles when it is pressed. If the button is held down further, additional driving and engine revving sounds are emitted.

:Lastly, Ironhide has two weapons hidden in each of his legs. Opening the side of his left leg reveals and pops up a removable knife, whereas opening his right leg deploys a detachable spring-loaded cannon, either of which he can wield.

:Some units have the spring pushed and compressed too far back into the launcher, preventing the projectile from even shooting out. This ''can'' be fixed, but pulling and stretching the small spring further out while it is in the launcher may be rather difficult.

:The two of his hood halves also frequently detach from the ball joints they are mounted on during transformation, quite possibly [[for safety reasons]].

:Despite being advertised as a MechTech figure, Leader class Ironhide's gimmicks are almost entirely unrelated to the interchangeable, spring-loaded MechTech weapons seen on most of the other ''Dark of the Moon'' MechTech toys. Besides his fists, the only two 5mm post/MechTech ports on Ironhide are the ones on the hood halves above his shoulders, which can only be accessed in robot mode.

:His box mentions "Automatic conversion sounds", yet no such sound plays during transformation. Additionally, he is mis-transformed in his stock photography, as his vehicle front-end chest is not connected to his [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux-bumper]] grille, nor are the wheels angled into his chest.

:The Japanese release comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his arm cannons for the MechTech Wars online game, even though his arm cannons aren't actually MechTech weapons in the sense that they are removable weapons that can be given to other characters.

[[Image:HeatScramble_MovieBonecrusher.jpg|right|300px|thumb|''He was a sk8ter boi She said see ya later boy'']]

'''Bonecrusher''', also known as The Claw of Megatron, is a Transformer that can be described with one word: Hate. While other Decepticons get by on greed, ambition, or just their fondness for dispensing chaos, Bonecrusher is fueled by sheer, unrelenting hate. He hates everyone and everything, be they Autobot, Decepticon, or anything in-between—he even hates ''himself'', revolted by his misshapen, hunchbacked robot mode, which he considers a reflection of all the ugliness and malice inside himself. The full force of this vicious cycle of hatred finds release in explosive frenzied bursts of psychotic brutality, as Bonecrusher takes out the full force of his bitterness and self-loathing on anyone who looks at him sideways. He hates that. He also hates [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], but would hate being terminated by the Decepticon leader more, so he sticks around.

On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Bonecrusher was actually quite a skilled tactician—dedicated to the art of war, a fast thinker who could plough into battle while others were still mapping out strategy, and, most importantly in Megatron's eyes, a masterfully ''dirty'' fighter. However, Bonecrusher's skills left him consigned to a supervisory position and kept him off the battlefield, which, of course, he hated. Naturally, this only helped to increase his already epic levels of frustration and misery at his lot in life, until he became what he is today.<ref>Bonecrusher's profile in [[Transformers Comic issue 8|Titan's UK Transformers Comic #8]]</ref> He's so intensely pent-up that he'll unflinchingly take on opponents of any size{{m-}}the bigger the better! Bonecrusher wouldn't hesitate to confront [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] head on, if he could.

He transforms into a Buffalo mine-clearing vehicle used by the military, perhaps because it was the vehicle he hated the least.

Bonecrusher was known and feared by Autobots for never giving up. He almost killed [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] once and pursued him and his comrade [[Clocker (Movie)|Clocker]] for ages, driven by his hatred of nice-looking shiny robots (or nice-looking ''anythings''). As he said, "I figure, why should they look so nice... when I look like ''this!''" Clocker covered the wounded Jazz's retreat and tried to fight Bonecrusher, who hated that and killed him. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 6|Lost In Space 4: Jazz}}

Bonecrusher was surprisingly still alive and was in charge of security at the Decepticon's [[AllSpark]] holding facility. Although he was happy that he has his arm and head reattached, he hated his job, as he was just a glorified drone director, and not able to kill anything himself. Thus, when he learned that Ironhide and Ratchet were trying to get into the facility, he decided to let the two Autobot infiltrators in, just so he could personally confront and kill them. So he not only disliked his job, he also wasn't very good at it. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} His fists hated on Ironhide's face before Ratchet stepped in, tearing the Decepticon up with offensive weaponry. [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee's]] team arrived to take out the Swindles, leaving Ironhide and Ratchet free to bash up Bonecrusher {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}}; you'd think he would have hated this and wanted it to stop, but when the Autobots got pinned down by [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drone fire, Bonecrusher ''tore apart his own troops'' to reach and kill the Autobots. He fought Ironhide again and this time lost, and may have been blown up with the AllSpark. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

[[Image:Movie BarricadeBonecrusher protoforms.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Bonecrusher's pre-Earth body. Bonecrusher hates retro-designs.]]

Bonecrusher was a member of Starscream's unit that was keeping [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s reinforcements out of [[Tyger Pax]]. When [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] arrived with news of Megatron and the AllSpark, Bonecrusher insisted that they move on as they had already killed all the Autobots in the area. He then demanded that Brawl take them to Megatron or he would kill them all. Witnessing the launch of the AllSpark, [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] commented that [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] would die, but Bonecrusher replied that they should let it die, and that Barricade should join it in death. After Starscream and Blackout settled their differences, the group headed after Megatron. {{storylink|Planetfall (Movie)|Planetfall}}

They landed on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], the fourth planet of the solar system where they had detected the AllSpark's energy signature. The Decepticons destroyed a [[Beagle 2 Rover|primitive life form]] encountered on the surface. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}

The Decepticons made planetfall on [[Earth]] in Afghanistan, quickly attracting the attention of a nearby [[United States military|US military]] base, which sent out an armoured personnel carrier to investigate. Bonecrusher declared his satisfaction in finally having something to kill, but this chance was snatched away when [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] scanned the vehicle and destroyed it. He hated when that happened. Hitting the US airbase, Bonecrusher easily killed the humans before scanning a Buffalo mine-clearance vehicle. Bonecrusher hated the notion of "disguise", but hated standing out more. After scanning, he complained that there weren't enough lifeforms to kill. {{storylink|Planetfall (Movie)|Planetfall}}

{{-}}
===''Ghosts of Yesterday'' prequel novel===
Bonecrusher was part of the crew of the ''Nemesis'', led by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], who were searching for Megatron, who was lost thousands of years before, along with the [[AllSpark]]. He hated Starscream, but then so did pretty much all the other Decepticons on board.

When Starscream left to go destroy [[Ghost 1|an alien vessel]], Bonecrusher eagerly joined [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]'s plan to attack the ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]'' against Starscream's orders, as there was nothing else to attack. Bypassing [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], he headed straight for the ''Ark''. However, when he forced his way into the hangar, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] were waiting, and unleashed hell upon him. He hated that. When Blackout ordered a withdrawal, Bonecrusher reluctantly complied.

Shortly afterwards, Barricade picked Bonecrusher to lead another assault on the ''Ark''. His only response to the command was a growl. The battle went better, this time with Bonecrusher managing to inflict some serious damage on Jazz. When Starscream joined them, but refused to tell them what he'd learned about the alien ship, Blackout challenged their leader, and Bonecrusher and [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] kept well back. Blackout had his [[exhaust port]] handed to him, and Bonecrusher was ordered to drag him back to the Nemesis. During the subsequent fight, Bonecrusher had to fight Ironhide, and managed to dent his armor. However, when Starscream ordered the destruction of the alien ship, Blackout questioned his reasons, and Bonecrusher backed his fallen comrade up, though didn't press the issue as they were mid-battle. Later, Bonecrusher managed to spear Optimus with his tail, but the alien ship's weapons damaged Starscream enough that the Decepticons had to retreat, and Bonecrusher was forced to help his leader back to the ''Nemesis''. {{storylink|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

:''Voice actor:'' [[Jimmie Wood]] (English)

[[Image:Movie Bonecrusher carflip.jpg|left|250px|thumb|He hates the sundown slowdown.]]
Bonecrusher was hiding out in the motor pool of a military base when he received a communique from Starscream ordering the Decepticons to mobilize and converge on the location of the AllSpark. Leaving the base, he reported that he was "rolling" out. Sometime after this, he rendezvoused with [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]], and the three Decepticons headed off together to intercept the Autobots and their human allies who had the AllSpark in their possession.

[[Image:Movie Bonecrusher face.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Bonecrusher, like most celebs, hates the paparazzi. He also hates closeups.]]

Devastator wandered off somewhere, so Bonecrusher and Barricade continued their pursuit on the freeway. Barricade activated his sirens to clear the traffic and allow them more maneuvering room. Unsatisfied with Barricade's less conspicuous method, Bonecrusher used his mine-scoop to flip cars out of his way. Surprisingly, the Autobots didn't find this out of the ordinary, and only reacted when [[Sam Witwicky|ladiesman217]] recognized Barricade and warned the Autobots. [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] aligned to block the Decepticons from [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], who had the AllSpark and the fleshlings.

[[Image:Movie2007_Bonecrusher_attacks_Prime.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Bonecrusher loves (for once) to watch things burn. Just not himself.]]

After Barricade pulled over to the side of the road, Bonecrusher transformed while still moving and skated towards the Autobots. Optimus Prime transformed and slid into position to block his path. Seeing the Autobot he really hated, Bonecrusher smashed through a bus, and tackled Optimus Prime, pushing him off an overpass tumbling and falling off the edge, dragging the Autobot leader down with him.

[[Image:Movie Bonecrusher dies.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Thus began (and ended) Bonecrusher's hatred of Prime's sword.]]

When they landed, he sucker-punched Optimus Prime, who then hit Bonecrusher so hard one of the Decepticon's [[Sensors#Optical sensors|optics]] popped free from its socket, all the while being observed by a little kid in an SUV, who though the entire experience was ''totally'' cool. The two played a little cat-and-mouse along the overpasses. After Prime jumped down to ground level, Bonecrusher swung his tail wildly at the Autobot, all the while screaming incoherently. This gave Optimus the opportunity he needed to get his [[Dual Energon Swords|sword]] ready... which the Autobot leader used to cleave Bonecrusher's right arm and run through the Decepticon's neck, nearly severing it. Optimus then wrenched Bonecrusher's head from its neck and tossed it aside. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

===Toy bio===
{{notemoviebio}}

Despite all appearances, Bonecrusher managed to escape after his encounter with Optimus Prime (missing his head? beaten to a pulp?), and went to hide out in the South American jungle. And while he was in the jungle, his version of relieving stress was ripping apart trees and destroying South American military convoys. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys|Jungle Bonecrusher}}

He also, during the final battle of the AllSpark, faced of with Jazz in a final battle to the ultimate finish. {{storylink|#Legends Class toys|Autobot Jazz vs. Bonecrusher}}

After the defeat of Megatron and The Fallen, Bonecrusher came out of hiding and vowed to destroy every Autobot he could find, if it was the last thing he did. {{storylink|#Transformers (2010)|The Fury of Bonecrusher}}

[[Image:Movie Legends JazzBonecrusher toys.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Sure Bonecrusher is smaller, that just means his hate is extra-concentrated.]]
*'''Autobot Jazz vs. Bonecrusher''' (Legends multi-pack, 2007)

: As part of the ''AllSpark Battles'' refresh of the Movie toyline, a Legends-class [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] with altered [[Paint operation|paint applications]] is repacked in a Versus two-pack with an all-new Legends class figure of Bonecrusher. In Europe, he was packaged individually.

*'''Bonecrusher''' (Legends, 2008)

: An individually packaged release of the Legends class toy, released within Europe and Australia.

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:Moviebonecrushertoy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|The name's doomed to be nothing but bulldozers or buffaloes. And he hates that.]]
*'''Bonecrusher''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MD-09'''

: Bonecrusher transforms into a [[wikipedia:Buffalo_(mine_protected_vehicle)|Buffalo mine-protected vehicle]], with an articulated "mine-fork" for removing mines or cars or robots or unsuspecting buildings from his path. The fork can change from its packaged "Grabber claw" configuration into a more fork/shovel like configuration, a fact not stated on the instructions. He has six rolling wheels in this mode, and two sculpted, non-functional spare wheels.

: In robot mode he has elements resembling both his 2005 design and the final design used in the movie, though a major deviation to both designs is that the entire front shell halves of the vehicle mode are mounted upon his arms. His arms have limited articulation due to this [[kibble]], but can extend out into '''really''' long arms. His legs fare better, with ball jointed hips, swivel knees and ankles, but his hips can often detach from the codpiece holding them together. The mine-fork splits to form a grabber-claw, which can snap onto victims with a geared slider [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] mechanism.

: He is named "Bonescrusher" on the Canadian [[cross-sell]]. Guess how Bonecrusher feels about ''that'' little misspelling.

*'''Deluxe three-pack''' (Sam's Club exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

:This Sam's Club exclusive three-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe Class Bonecrusher together with equally unchanged Deluxe Class [[Brawl (Movie)|Decepticon Brawl]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Autobot Jazz]] toys. It also comes with a nifty poster depicting all three toys in a standoff scene. Not so nifty is that the box accidentally places Brawl and Bonecrusher's bios underneath each other.

: Finally, the big guy gets a [[redeco]], in deep forest green and olive green, as part of the "AllSpark Power" refresh line. It's not easy being green, and he hates that. He also hates redecos, slavish or not. He also hates quality control, and [[Fandom|fans]] who complain that the claw arm now has a habit of popping off with little force, while the original did not. Reviewer [[Ben Yee|Benson Yee]] pointed out that this interferes with the automorph trick, as the arm can now pop off while sliding that lever. It's obvious by now how he feels about Ben Yee, [[Swivel joint|swivel joints]], quality control, [[Hot Shot (Armada)|cars addicted to]] [[JaAm]], sore shoulders (& possibly his own shoulders as well), [[Ball joint|ball joints]], JaAm, etc...

==Notes==
[[Image:PhotoshopedBuffalo.PNG|right|250px|thumb|*Giant fork and Decepticon insignia not included with the real Buffalo.* Bonecrusher hates those disclaimers.]]
* The real Buffalo mine-sweeping vehicle doesn't have such a huge fork. It is only 14 inches (35 centimeters) wide. The image that inspired Bonecrusher's design was actually a Photoshopped image put on the official Force Protection company's site to make it look more impressive.<ref>[http://www.forceprotection.net/models/buffalo/]</ref> A 10-foot-wide (3 meter) appliance had to be fixed on Bonecrusher's arm for the movie.

* Force Protection loves Bonecrusher and the fact that he has picked their Buffalo as its alt mode. They are actually quite proud of it.<ref>[http://www.forceprotection.net/news/transformers.html]</ref>

* Bonecrusher's toy was used as a prop for a CNN Headline News report demonstrating the real Buffalo vehicle's mine-sweeping arm.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maAWP2uVd7M]</ref>

* According to a press kit sent out in conjunction with the movie, Bonecrusher is "another [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]" who "forms [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl's]] left arm".<ref>[http://numberonestars.com/transformers/production/decepticons.htm]</ref> Thus far, there have been no reports of people using Bonecrusher as one of Brawl's arms, left or otherwise.

* At various points during his fight with Optimus Prime, Bonecrusher emits some garbled roars that ''might'' be English. However, there is little agreement among viewers as to what he might be saying, and indeed, whether he even said anything at all. The subtitles and closed captions for the film do not identify any dialogue, just labeling it as "roaring". (Someone should really ask Jimmie Wood.) Considering the large amount of untranslated Cybertronic gibberish emitted by various Decepticons during the sequel ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', it seems most likely that Bonecrusher isn't intended to be saying anything comprehensible to human ears.

* Bonecrusher is [[Michael Bay]]'s favorite character from the film, despite his limited screentime—so much so that Bay named [[Bonecrusher (dog)|his new dog]] after him.

* Bonecrusher is never discussed or mentioned in ''[[Transformers: The Movie Guide]]''.

* In one of [[Hasbro Q&A|Hasbro's bimonthly Q & As]], it was revealed that, in retrospect, Hasbro thought a Voyager-class figure would have been a better fit for the figure than the Deluxe.

* Bonecrusher's sequences were particularly difficult for [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] to do at first. The solution came from videotaping employees rollerblading in the parking lot, and a pair of fighting experts going through the motions wanted for Bonecrusher and Prime, then using that footage as references.<ref>''Transformers'' DVD commentary</ref>

* Bonecrusher's movements seem to be heavily inspired by several types of sports including hockey (his running movements) and American football (his tackling on Optimus Prime). Bonecrusher hates hockey, but not hockey pucks.

* Last but not least, Bonecrusher hates ''[[you]]''. Yeah, you. You know who you are. Don't try to pretend you don't know, either. Bonecrusher hates ignorance.

===Foreign names===

[[Image:ReignofStarscream3 Thundercracker.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"I was in the movie, I had a great scene... you just weren't allowed to see it...the, uh, special edition will have it."]]
'''Thundercracker''' is the master of fear. His victims can hear him coming from 200 miles away, which is the way he likes it—it's not worth the effort it takes to kill them unless they're nice and terrified first. He doesn't care much about galactic conquest or the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]], but as long as [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] allows him to indulge himself, he's happy to serve.

A fellow [[Seeker (Movie)|Seeker]] and loyal to a fault, Thundercracker is [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s personal choice for Second in Command once he takes control. In fact, bar a lack of experience, he is in many ways comparable to Starscream in skill. However, the air commander is not simply going to hand the job over, and Thundercracker must prove himself worthy by seizing the opportunity with both servos.

Thundercracker was the designation for a series of drone units used in the Decepticon occupation of Earth. [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] led a group of Thundercrackers in the annihilation of the [[NATO]] nuclear fleet. The drones were skilled enough to take out submarines with their guns whilst still in high-speed flight. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}}

A black non-drone Thundercracker serves under Starscream, carrying out a recon sweep at the Okeechobee energon field. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

A ''blue'' non-drone Thundercracker was present for Starscream's moment of glory and at the taking of Savannah. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} That same Thundercracker was a key part of an ambush when the Autobots re-entered Savannah, flying with [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] and hitting Optimus with a barrage of missiles. Unfortunately, an Autobot sonic attack knocked everyone out of the sky. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

Thundercracker served as one of Starscream's generals in the attempted reconquest of America. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 24|Revolution Part 2}}

{{note|The following events occur in the Star Screams timeline.}}

Thundercracker and Starscream are old colleagues and Starscream would like to reunite with him, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|#9's Star Screams}} though he also sneers at Thundercracker for having a lack of drive.

At some point, Thundercracker had an F-15 form, implying he was with Starscream in his [[:Image:Starscream 1982.jpg|covert mission in 1980s Earth]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|#11's Star Screams}}

===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Many years ago, Thundercracker was member of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s [[Defense Force]] under the command of Protector Megatron. When a [[The Fallen|mysterious relic]] was uncovered, [[Eshems alien|aliens]] from the [[Eshems Nebula]] attacked, leveling much of the city of [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]]. Thundercracker was among the forces deployed to defend their home. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 1}} Following this outrageous attack on their sovereignty, Megatron used this to declare a military dictatorship and led the flight-capable soldiers in a bloody counterattack on the aliens. During the battle, Thundercracker and his comrade [[Ramjet (Movie)|Ramjet]] competed against each other in the numbers of confirmed kills. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2}}

After Megatron discovered that science leader [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] had snooped around his quarters, he issued orders for the arrest of the scientist, but assigned Starscream and Thundercracker's team the task with assassinating those escorting Optimus. However, they underestimated the scientist's fighting prowess and paid for it when an entire ''city'' was dropped on top of their heads. They survived, and Megatron used Optimus' act of self-defense as a catalyst for declaring them traitors and forming a new faction: the Decepticons. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3}} Thundercracker was present for the inspirational speech Megatron held at the dawn of this new faction. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3}}

During the subsequent civil war, Thundercracker fought against [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm]] and was present for the launch of the Decepticon flagship ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]''. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4}} He also became an understudy of the immoral Decepticon scientist [[Flatline]]. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

Late in the war, Optimus '''Prime''' ejected the [[AllSpark]] into deep space, leaving the warriors of Cybertron to fight over the limited [[Energon (fuel)|Energon]] they had left. At one point in the early 20th century, Thundercracker participated in an ambush on a team of Autobots attempting to steal resources from the Decepticon capital of [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2}} He later left Cybertron to join up with the crew of [[Nemesis (Movie)|Starscream's battlecruiser]] which had been launched to search for the AllSpark, and told Starscream that [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] was also looking for the cube. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}} [[Blackout (Movie)|While]] [[Barricade (Movie)|the]] [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|other]] [[Brawl (Movie)|Decepticons]] [[Wreckage (Movie)|went]] to [[Earth]] in search of the AllSpark, Thundercracker waited aboard the ship, hidden on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] with only [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]] for company. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}} During this time, he explored Earth's [[moon (moon)|moon]] and discovered [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]'s [[Ark (DOTM)|ship]], where he recovered a [[pillar]]. Using his scientific knowledge gained from Flatline, he jury-rigged a [[space bridge]] back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], based on the path the Ark took through space. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

When Starscream returned with the seemingly lifeless [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]], Thundercracker was there to greet his barely functioning Commander and brought him aboard for repairs. Afterwards, Starscream began to confide in his subordinate his plans for recreating [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] while Thundercracker questioned him on both his new [[alternate mode]] and the fate of the AllSpark. Before they could finish their chat, Hardtop alerted them that the ship was under Autobot attack. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}}

[[Image:ReignofStarscream3 Camshaft dies.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"Face it Cliffjumper! You're not half the man Camshaft is!"]]

Thundercracker sent in [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drones to soften up the Autobots, and then entered the fray himself, shooting down [[Air Raid (Movie)|Air Raid]] and unleashing his sonic weaponry on the rest of the team. He then swiftly slew [[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]] and wounded [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]], but he took a little too much time savoring the latter's fear and soon found himself at the mercy of Cliffjumper and [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]]. The revitalized Starscream was forced to enter the fray to save his would-be second-in-command, and he killed or critically damaged the entire Autobot squad. After berating him for his failure, Starscream took Thundercracker back on board and took the ''Nemesis'' back to Cybertron. They landed in Trypticon, where they were greeted by [[Ramjet (Movie)|Ramjet]]. Starscream ordered Thundercracker to undergo repairs. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}}

Thundercracker's status received a boost after Starscream's copy AllSpark failed. While Dreadwing and Ramjet turned on the Seeker leader, Stockade and Thundercracker fought at his side. As Dreadwing made his escape, Starscream gave chase, and when Thundercracker told him he would take care of Dreadwing's drones, Starscream wished "Commander" Thundercracker luck.

After Starscream and Dreadwing were transported by the space bridge, Thundercracker transformed and began to search for his lord, who, having been returned to Mars, was comforted by the fact he had some actual allies still out there. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

Later, Thundercracker caught up to Arcee's spaceship by an undesignated planet. Eager for a chance to settle the score, Thundercracker singlehandedly massacred his way through the ship until he caught up with Arcee and gleefully tore her apart limb from limb. However, he wasn't about to let her off so easily. He brought her remains back to the outpost he commanded so that [[Flatline|Flatline]] could experiment on her. Flatline questioned Thundercracker whether or not her spark was cut out for his latest far-reaching, objectionable experiment. But Thundercracker insisted it would be and scolded him for squandering the outpost's supply of protoforms on some of his not-so-successful endeavors.

Once Arcee regained consciousness in a strange new body, Thundercracker dropped by to pay his respects personally, casually remarking he got 'carried away' taking her down. Even though Arcee couldn't quite remember him, Thundercracker and Flatline revealled their plan to use her spark to power three discarded protoforms to bolster Decepticon forces and helped the medic carry out the procedure. The experiment was successful...But perhaps a little too successful when all three Arcees escaped, freeing [[Skids (ROTF)|two]] [[Mudflap (ROTF)|other]] prisoners with her. Ultimately, Thundercracker had to personally intervene and subdued one of the three Arcees. However, even he was no match for the combined forces of the two other fury-driven Arcees and was forced to flee. After Flatline purged the outpost, the wounded Thundercracker bitterly watched Arcee, Skids and Mudflap escape on their shuttle.{{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6}}

===''Unite for the Universe''===
After [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], high on the power [[Project Unite|Project: Unite]] granted him, attacked various human installations, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] became furious that he would so without his command. [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], on his behalf, sent [[Brimstone (TF 2010)|Brimstone]] and Thundercracker to intercept the rogue Decepticon. Thundercracker was shot down with little difficulty and Brimstone soon followed his teammate when Starscream transformed and plunged his claws through Brimstone's torso. {{Storylink|Unite for the Universe issue 2|On the Road to Destruction}}

==Games==
===3D Battle-Card Game===
Under [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s command, Thundercracker did battle with the Autobots using machine guns, cruise missiles and sonic booms. He could also perform a "Thunder Punch" and a "Terror Slash", but it's unclear exactly what those attacks involved. Thundercracker may also have participated in the seemingly inter-dimensional "Energon Wars" conflict, during which the Decepticons were led by [[Megatron (BW)|Predacon Megatron]] against [[Optimus Primal]]'s Autobots. {{storylink|3D Battle-Card Game}}

[[Image:Thundercracker movie psp.jpg|left|170px|thumb|Just like you are embarrassed by your high school picture, Thundercracker is embarrassed by his depiction in this game.]]
Thundercracker was [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]]'s right-hand man and confidante, and came to Earth alongside him and the other Decepticons. After Shockwave received a communique from [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] informing him that the Autobots had found a lead to the location of the lost Decepticon leader [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], Thundercracker airlifted his boss into Qatar so they could relay the message to [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]. Shockwave decided to follow up on the lead himself, and had Thundercracker take him to the Arctic, where they battled their way through a platoon of Autobots that had already arrived and searched the ice cavern that Megatron's body had been found in. Although Megatron had already been moved by [[Sector Seven]], Shockwave discovered that Megatron had brought an army of drones to Earth with him which were currently lying dormant on Earth.

Thundercracker and Shockwave subsequently travelled south, keeping themselves hidden by making the trip submerged in a large body of water, heading for an unknown location. Thundercracker was fairly puzzled by the whole affair, as Shockwave was playing the mission objective close to his chest, but things soon became clear when he discovered that they had arrived at a rocket launch site. While Thundercracker created a distraction by attacking the facility, Shockwave slipped in and programmed the rocket with the signal code required to reactivate the drones. Once the rocket blasted off, the signal was beamed down across the world, bringing the drone army back on-line.

A platoon of drones proceeded to attack the Autobots who were on their way to [[Hoover Dam]], forcing [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] to break off and take care of them. The fight carried the two Autobots to the [[Smash Derby]] arena, where Thundercracker attacked them. Unfortunately for the Decepticon, the two Autobots overpowered him, and forced him to reveal the origin of the drone army, providing them with the information they needed to take the drones down. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (PSP)|Transformers The Game (PSP)}}

{{note|The PSP game was the first piece of media to feature the movie incarnation of Thundercracker, and based him on the [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] drone body-type, with a new head. Later depictions of the character, naturally, ignored this rendition and based Thundercracker on his toy, a [[redeco]] of the [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] in true Generation 1 fashion.}}

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
[[Image:Movie Voyager Thundercracker toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|I'm blue, dabadee dabadi, dabadee dabadi]]
*'''Thundercracker''' (Voyager, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-19'''
**''Accessories:'' 6 missiles

:This version of Thundercracker is a [[Retool|retooling]] of the [[Movie (toyline)|''Transformers'']] Voyager class [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] toy, with a new head. Cast mostly in light blue and grey plastic resembling ''Generation 1'' [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker's]] paint scheme, he transforms into a [[wikipedia:F-22|Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor]] fighter jet. As with Starscream, this vehicle mode is ''ridiculously'' inaccurate. Farcically so. Pushing the fighter along a smooth surface causes the barrels of his gigantic spring-loaded Gatling missile launchers to rotate and fire their projectiles, which can also be stored in the black flip-up braces on the launchers.

:During transformation, pushing up upon the canopy fuselage piece activates Thundercracker's [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmick which pushes panels out of the torso, wings and stabilizers. In robot mode, his projectile missiles are sculpted to resemble fingers, should users choose to keep them loaded while Thundercracker is in robot mode.

:This version of the mold was later [[Redeco|redecoed]] into the [[Target]]-[[exclusive]] ''Generation 1'' style-Starscream and the [[Walmart]]-exclusive ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Skywarp (ROTF)|Skywarp]]. The original mold was used to make ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Ramjet (Movie)|Ramjet]].

===Revenge of the Fallen===
*'''War for the Skies''' (Legends multi-pack, 2009)

[[Image:KMartROTFThundercracker.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Beefcake! BEEEEFCAAAAKE!]]

:''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Thundercracker was available only as part of the [[Kmart]]-[[exclusive]] "[[War for the Skies]]" [[Legends Class]] battlepack, He is a [[redeco]] of [[Size class|Legends class]] [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], colored very similarly to his Voyager class toy from 2007.

:He comes with the Legends-class figures [[Blades (ROTF)|Autobot Blades]], [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] and [[Spinister (ROTF)|Spinister]].

===Dark of the Moon===

*'''Thundercracker''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD08'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/Assault Saw, Null Ray Cannon/Sword

:''[[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Thundercracker is a redeco of ''Dark of the Moon'' [[MechTech]] Deluxe [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys 2|Starscream]]. His incredibly flexible arms have joints at the shoulder, in the middle of the upper arm, elbow, and wrist, allowing them to neatly fold up for transformation, as well as scratch his own back.

:He comes with a redecoed version of [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]]'s MechTech weapon, and one of Starscream's MechTech Null Ray Cannon/Sword weapons. The MechTech saw is unfortunately not deployable on the port on the underside of the wings as depicted in the instructions, as robot undercarriage kibble gets in the way of the mechanisms of the weapon and prevent it from functioning correctly. Oddly, his packaging and stock photos only depict him with the Saw weapon, and don't acknowledge the Cannon/Sword.

:This mold was also used to make ''Dark of the Moon'' [[Skywarp (ROTF)#Dark of the Moon|Skywarp]].

==Merchandise==
===3D Battle-Card Game===
[[Image:3DBattleCard_Thundercracker.jpg|thumb|right|250px|]]
* '''Thundercracker''' (3D Battle Card, 2007)
**''Card number:''

:[[3D Battle-Card Game]] Thundercracker consists of two card with punch-out pieces that can be assembled into a robot or a jet. He uses the same parts layout as live-action Starscream, [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] and [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]], but is decorated like [[Thundercracker (G1)|Generation 1 Thundercracker]]. This layout was also used for [[Starscream (G1)|Classic Starscream]], [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] and [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] in the "Energon Wars" expansion set.

:Thundercracker's card art was done by [[Lucio Parrillo]].

{{-}}

==Notes==
* Curiously, Thundercracker's upturned nosecone behind his head is interpreted as being a part of his head on the box art. Target-exclusive [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], which was released nearly concurrently, uses the same box art, but with the odd nosecone section correctly removed.
* Thundercracker is the only non-movie Transformer to get toys in all three films.

'''Starscream battles Space Case.'''

==Synopsis==
At the [[Decepticon]] camp in [[Namibia]], [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] makes it very clear to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], by way of a beating, that he does not appreciate being told how to do his job. Tired of endlessly submitting to the Decepticon leader, Starscream snaps, and flies off with the intention of starting his own 'New Decepticon Empire'.

When he detects a Cybertronian energy signature, Starscream pursues and sees a shape plummet into the sea next to an amusement park on the pier. The shape is [[Space Case (DOTM)|Space Case]], who, tired of "bein' pushed around", immediately attacks Starscream, punching him in a Ferris wheel on the pier. Starscream hauls himself up and opens fire on Space Case, but quickly realises the identity of the rogue Decepticon. Realizing that Space Case is stupid enough to manipulate, Starscream reverts his insults and starts to lay on the compliments, hoping to recruit him as the first soldier in his new army. With his promised reward for Space Case's loyalty being the [[Earth]], he eventually succeeds, and as the sun sets, they walk away from the wrecked pier, Starscream now having found a partner who would listen to ''his'' thoughts, for once.

Soundwave (G1)/toys

2011-10-16T09:54:42Z

58.69.198.148: /* United */

{{suite}}
'''[[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]''': popular. Amount of merchandise: sufficient for its own page.

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[Image:G1Soundwave toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Soundwave superior. Nuff said.]]
* '''Soundwave''' (Decepticon, 1984-1986)
** ''Japanese ID number:'' '''17'''
**''Accessories (Hasbro release):'' [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]], rocket launcher, 3 rockets, "concussion blaster"
**''Accessories (Takara release):'' [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]], tape case, rocket launcher, 3 rockets, "Concussion Blaster", headphones, microphone

:Soundwave began life as the ''[[Micro Change]]'' toy "Cassette Man", and went mostly unchanged when he was imported by [[Hasbro]] to become part of the ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]'' toyline, save for exclusion of some accessories, and the removal of a molded "Cassette Man" logo on his stomach. He transforms into a realistically-sized blue and silver microcassette recorder, complete with an opening cassette door that can accommodate any of the numerous [[Mini-Cassette]] figures, and came packaged with [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]] to fully exploit and advertise this interactive gimmick. Soundwave is armed with a shoulder-mounted "concussion blaster" cannon and a hand-held rocket launcher, which both transform into imitation batteries that store in a compartment on his back while he is in his alternate mode. The Hasbro instructions mistakenly state that a pair of trapezoid-shaped stickers intended to decorate these batteries should be attached to Soundwave's legs

:Takara's release of Soundwave reinstated the extra Cassette Man accessories that Hasbro had excluded from their release: a set of headphones and a microphone, both non-functioning. To further emulate Cassette Man, Takara's Soundwave came with [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]], rather than Buzzsaw, and a clear plastic case that he could fit into in tape mode, and his rocket launcher featured a spring-loaded firing mechanism that Hasbro had removed, as they did with all such features at the time. Takara also made a [[variant|running change]] to the [[mold]], re-sculpting the recessed buttons on Soundwave's pelvis into one solid, protruding piece, and moving the cassette door's hinge from inside the figure's chest to a lower, external position on either side of this new button assembly. This modification became the standard for all subsequent re-uses of the Soundwave mold.

: Aside from the aforementioned button remold, Soundwave's first notable modification was the addition of a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]] to his chest in 1985. The popularity of Soundwave and his interactive tape gimmick was evident from an early stage: his toy continued to be sold throughout 1986, after the vast majority of his 1984 brethren had been removed from toy shelves, and Mini-Cassette partners continued to be produced for him even after this, through 1988. Soundwave was subsequently reissued several times over the years, and this article lists each distinct edition of the figure under its own heading.

::*''[http://tfu.info/1984/Decepticon/Soundwave/soundwave.htm More information on Soundwave at TFU.info]''

{{-}}
[[Image:G1toy_VSY.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
* '''Grimlock vs Soundwave''' (1985)
** ''Japanese ID number:'' '''VSY'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]], rocket launcher, 3 rockets, "concussion blaster"

: Prior to modifying his buttons, Takara also released Soundwave in a "versus" set along with [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], lacking the additional headphone and microphone accessories and partnered with [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] instead of Rumble. The set also included an audio cassette, and has become the rarest of the three "VS" sets Takara produced.

*'''Soundblaster''' (Decepticon, 1987)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-101'''
**''Accessories:'' Buzzsaw, tape case, rocket launcher, 3 rockets, "concussion blaster"

: As part of the Japanese ''[[The Headmasters (toyline)|Headmasters]]'' series, Soundwave was [[Redeco|redecoed]] in a new black and red color scheme, and his chest door was [[Retool|retooled]] so that he could now hold two cassettes at once. Soundblaster came packaged with Buzzsaw, who now sported a new [[sticker]] which would reveal the weak spot of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] when placed behind Soundblaster's translucent red chest door, in the same manner that [[Tech Spec]]s decoders worked. The figure's stickers, however, retain Soundwave's blue coloration instead of being changed to work with Soundblaster's black.

[[Image:G1 ActionMaster Soundwave toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|—uh, never mind.]]
*'''Soundwave with Wingthing''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories:'' "Photon Negator" rifle

: Part of the very first wave of [[Action Master|Action Masters]], Soundwave is a non-transforming action figure which combines elements of his cartoon model and original toy. He is compatible with any other Action Master weapon or vehicle. He came packaged with his new [[Action Master partner|partner]], [[Wingthing (G1)|Wingthing]].

: Soundwave's [[instructions]] depict a different [[weapon]] than the one the toy actually comes with. The weapon depicted in Soundwave's instructions was available with [[Treadshot (G1)|Treadshot]] instead. As a consequence, several toy information websites and identification guides (including ''[[Transformers Generations|Generations]]'') depict Soundwave with Treadshot's weapon, using the instructions as a reference.

===Transform Jr===
[[Image:G1toy junior soundwave.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
*'''Soundwave''' (Gōkin, 1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''17'''
**''Accessories:'' Cassette, launcher, 2 missiles

:Released during the early portion of the ''[[Transform Jr]]'' toyline when it was still going by the short lived "''Transform Gōkin''" name, ''Jr'' Soundwave is a smaller, simplified version of the original Generation 1 toy, lacking many stickers and paint applications, as well as the larger figure's retractable fists and the spring-activated release for his chest door. The chest door can still be manually opened, though, and Soundwave comes with a cassette partner to fit inside, albeit a non-transforming one (it's basically just a rectangle of plastic with a sticker on it; from the pattern on the sticker, it might be Rumble). He comes with only one gun, which can be placed either on his shoulder or in his fist, and features [[die-cast]] metal parts in his legs.

[[Image:G1toy junior soundblaster.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
*'''Soundblaster''' (Jr, 1987)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-101'''
**''Accessories:'' Cassette, launcher, 2 missiles

:Just as his larger toy was, ''Jr'' Soundwave was redecoed and retooled to become Soundblaster the following year, sporting a black coloration and an enlarged chest door (though the door itself remains colorless, lacking the distinctive red tint of the large Soundblaster figure). Soundblaster retains all of Soundwave's accessories and features; the sticker for his non-transformable cassette partner remains the same, looking a lot like Rumble despite Soundblaster's [[package art]] now showing Buzzsaw.

===Generation 2===

*'''Soundwave''' (Go-Bot, 1995)
**''Accessories:'' Gun

: A [[redeco]] of the [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[Gearhead]], Soundwave transforms into a [[NASCAR]]-style Ford Thunderbird stock car with precision wheels and wire axles, compatible with "Hot Wheels" and "Matchbox" playsets and tracks (which he was properly sized to fit). His ''exceptionally'' loud color scheme, being composed of bright shades of fluorescent yellow, pink and blue, is one of the few times fans can actually get away with describing a toy as "[[neon]]".

: Soundwave was one of only three Go-Bots released in Japan by Takara, on a normal [[Hasbro]] card with stickers over key parts to add Japanese text to the mix. The other two releases, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Megatron]], were not too heavily altered, aside from the addition of Soundwave's distinctive large "T" hood deco to their own bonnets, but Soundwave himself was significantly altered: while his car shell remains fluorescent yellow, his internal parts are the same as the opaque version of his predecessor, Gearhead.

: This mold was also used to make various versions of ''[[Robots in Disguise (toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[W.A.R.S.]] and the ''[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' incarnation of [[Camshaft (G1)|Camshaft]]. It was planned to be used to make ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Greasepit (G2)|Greasepit]], but that toy was canceled.

*'''Soundwave''' (Laser Cycle, unreleased)

: This planned [[redeco]] of the [[Laser Cycle]] [[Road Pig (G2)|Road Pig]] would have seen Soundwave transform to a blue and silver Honda Goldwing motorcycle, with an LED-lit tailpipe that became an arm-mounted weapon in robot mode. Ultimately, however, it ended up as one of several planned late-1995 ''Generation 2'' redecos that never made it to release. The cancellation was presumably a comparatively last-minute decision, since several of these toys, including Soundwave and fellow Laser Cycle redeco [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]], ''were'' solicited in various store catalogues, such as the Sears Wish Book. Some packaged samples of this toy do exist, but there are estimated to be less than a dozen in existence.

: This mold was later [[Retool|retooled]] to make ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Axer]] and ''[[Robot Masters (franchise)|Robot Masters]]'' [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]].

===Machine Wars===

*'''Soundwave''' (Mega, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' Giant missile, radar dish

:Originally a [[KB Toys]] exclusive, ''[[Machine Wars]]'' Soundwave is a [[redeco]] of the [[Predator (subgroup)|Predator]] [[Stalker (G1)|Stalker]], transforming into a grey and burgundy tracked ICBM (Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile) carrier of probably made-up model. His ICBM can mount on either shoulder or his back in robot mode, and retains Stalker's [[Megavisor]] gimmick; a panel on the top slides open to reveal a port for the smaller Predator jets to attach to, allowing their Megavisor slides to be viewed through the "scope" of the missile. Stalker's own unique built-in slide, however, was removed for the Soundwave version of the figure. Stalker also came with a handgun and set of firing missiles that were likewise omitted for this toy as a result of [[for safety reasons|safety concerns]] over their small size.

: This mold was also used to make the ''[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[#Universe (2003)|incarnation of Soundwave]].

** Accessories: [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]], tape case, rocket launcher, 3 rockets, "concussion blaster"

:The first reissue of Soundwave's original toy was released as part of Takara's ''[[Transformers Collection]]'', and this time came with [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]]. The toy reinstates Soundwave's chest-mounted Decepticon symbol, relocating the rubsign to the cover of his battery compartment, but otherwise features no notable differences from the original, post-button-remold version of the figure. This was, however, many international fans' first exposure to Soundwave's modified button mold, and it was erroneously assumed by many that the change had been first made for this release as an artefact of modifying the Soundblaster mold back into Soundwave.

*'''Soundblaster''' (2005)
** Japanese ID number: '''TFC-18'''
** Accessories: [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]], Buzzsaw, 2 tape cases, rocket launcher, 3 rockets, "concussion blaster"

:Not ones to waste the opportunity now that they had the mold back in action, Takara also reissued Soundblaster as part of the ''Transformers Collection'', sweetening the deal by including not just his original partner Buzzsaw, but also the first reissue of [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]]. Despite the opportunity, they didn't change the color of Soundblaster's stickers from Soundwave-blue to black.

===Smallest Transforming Transformers===

*'''Soundwave''' (2003-2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GTF 05'''
**''Accessories:'' Rocket launcher, "concussion blaster"

: Standing at only two inches tall, ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' Soundwave is an extremely small-scale replica of his original Generation 1 toy. Although his retracting fists, rotating head and missile accessories are left out, the figure otherwise retains a surprising amount of the original toy's functions and features, including the ability to store his weapons as batteries and an opening chest door. This opening chest accommodates Soundwave's in-package partner, ''Smallest Transforming Transformers'' Ravage, who is probably ''the'' smallest Transformer ever.

:Soundwave was originally released as part of the first ''Smallest Transforming Transformers'' wave, and was then made available again in the limited-availability "Wave 2.5" the following year, without changes. In both instances, as with the rest of the figures in the line, he was sold in [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] packaging.

**''Accessories:'' Giant missile, radar

: The [[#Machine Wars|''Machine Wars'' version of Soundwave]] was redecoed in blue and yellow for release in the ''[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line. Sold in an Ultra-level two-pack with [[Space Case (G2)|Space Case]], it retains basically all the same neutered gimmicks from the previous release of the mold.

: Due to the lack of fiction for either toy in the set, it is ''possible'' that this incarnation is in fact an alternate-universe version of Soundwave, or possibly even a new character altogether.

*'''Soundwave''' (6" Cybertron Heroes, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Laserbeak, rocket launcher, "concussion blaster", display base

: ''[[Titanium Series]]'' Soundwave is a new toy cast in the image of his original Generation 1 figure, still transforming through a virtually identical process into a microcassette player mode. He retains his transforming weapons, which still store as batteries in a compartment on his back, and his opening chest door, which accommodates the diminutive transforming Laserbeak figure packaged with him. Soundwave comes with the standard display base that all other 6" ''Titanium Series'' figures come with, and a unique nameplate.

: ''Titanium'' Soundwave has been the subject of much criticism among fans, simply because the toy is patently inferior to the original Generation 1 figure that it seeks to emulate, despite being made with modern toy technology. In particular, its disproportionate, oddly-shaped crotch area makes it look like Soundwave is wearing a diaper, and its poor leg engineering makes it virtually impossible for them to stay extended, and as a result, the toy is barely able to stand up. The cumulative effect is a Soundwave who is not unlike [http://www.reprolabels.com/Misc/babywave.php a baby].

: A planned redeco of ''Titanium'' Soundwave in his black and red Soundblaster colors, this toy would have come with a new ''Titanium'' version of [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] instead of Laserbeak. Although displayed at [[BotCon 2007]], Soundblaster was ultimately canceled along with many other solicited 6" Cybertron Heroes, but this did not stop him from appearing as a cross-sell on the packaging for ''Titanium'' [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] in late 2008 (which claimed he would have been "also available" as of November 2008), as Hasbro was unwilling to spend the resources on altering the packaging for these already-complete products.

===Classics===
[[Image:Classics Commemorative Soundwave toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Ravage, Laserbeak: Eject. Operation: Reissue.]]
*'''Soundwave''' (Commemorative Edition, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Laserbeak, Battle Ravage, 2 tape cases, rocket launcher, 3 rockets, "concussion blaster"

: Hasbro's first reissue of the original Soundwave toy was originally intended to be part of their [[Commemorative Series]] of Generation 1 reissues, but when that line was cancelled, it was instead released as part of the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' toyline. The phrase "Commemorative Edition" is prominently displayed on the front and sides of the box, though, and it remains exclusive to [[Toys"R"Us]], as all Commemorative Edition toys were.

:Despite both the packaging's claim that it is "identical to the original toy," and the image on the packaging showing Soundwave with his traditional chest-door, the figure actually sports the double-wide door of Sound''blaster'' (complete with extra tech-detailing), which allows him to carry both of his pack-in partners, Laserbeak and "Battle" Ravage. In an unusual move for a Hasbro release, the set also includes two clear-plastic cassette cases for the two tapes, previously only included with Takara versions of the figures. Per stringent child safety laws, his spring-loaded weapons were neutered.

:Sadly, in the Canadian markets, this version of Soundwave was pushed back over a year from the original release date, and very few Toys "R" Us' had them. Dang.

===Music Label===
[[Image:Music label soundwave.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Soundwave finally enters the digital age after only what, twenty-three years?]]
*'''Soundwave Playing Audio Player''' (2007)
**''Accessories:'' Electric launcher, "Wave Bluster", 2 clenched fists (left & right), 2 gun-holding fists (left & right), 2 eject-button pose fists (left & right), headphones

: Released as part of TakaraTomy's small ''[[Music Label]]'' toyline, this incarnation of Soundwave drags the character kicking and screaming into the digital age as a working MP3 player. Despite his new electronic abilities, Soundwave still transforms, in a manner virtually identical to his original Generation 1 figure, no less. He still comes with his trademark pair of weapons (although they no longer double as batteries, since he's got a real one in there now!) plus three sets of hands: two clenched, two for holding his guns, and two posed as if he is pressing his "eject" button.

:Soundwave runs on a single AAA battery, lasting for about six hours of continuous play, and operates using a miniSD card; the packaging claims it can only support up to 1GB, but reports indicate it can actually take up to 2GB. The distinctive buttons on Soundwave's pelvis are now working buttons that control the player: play/pause/power, next, previous, volume up and volume down. Naturally, the player also comes with a set of headphones, but an optional accessory, sold separately, can take their place: a set of ''transforming'' headphones in the image of Rumble and Frenzy.

:Soundwave was initially released in two color schemes: "Spark Blue", his normal blue and silver colors; and "Sonic White", a mostly white color scheme with some blue detailing, echoing the traditional iPod color scheme. When the toy received a second production run later in the year, the "Sonic White" version was replaced with a new Soundblaster-inspired "Blaster Black" deco.

: The "Sonic White" version was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as the mirror-universe ''[[Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Sir Soundwave|Soundwave]].

After Hasbro's last reissue of the figure had used the double-sized Soundblaster chest door, this version of Soundwave reinstated his original door, and came packaged with no less than ''four'' tapes: Ravage, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw and [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]].

*'''Soundwave Cybertron Mode''' (Deluxe, [[December 25|12-25]]-2010)

**''Accessories'': Rifle, missile launcher

: Part of the first wave of ''[[United (toyline)|United]]'' series, Soundwave is a [[redeco]] of the [[Soundwave (Prime)#Toys|''War For Cybertron'' Soundwave toy]], transforming into a Cybertronian SUV-type vehicle. Soundwave comes with his classic shoulder launcher and rifle, both of which can store inside his opening chest, approximating the visual of cassette spools. The weapons can also attach to either side of the vehicle mode.

:Soundwave features an extensive metallic violet paint scheme, that covers a majority of his vehicle mode (as well as some robot parts like his head for example). The purple highlights on the Hasbro version are replaced with a bright pink, and the details on his chest have changed in color as well.

:[[Stock photo#Takara_stock_photos|Ironically]], the action-oriented stock photo on the back of his packaging has him mis-transformed. His hinged crotch has not been pegged to his main body, with the result looking like Soundwave wearing a diaper... again.

* '''Design Center''' (1984)

:Manufactured by [[Arrow]], the Soundwave Design Center was a box in the general shape and likeness of Soundwave which contained various arts and crafts projects for young tykes to entertain themselves with. His head pulled out to reveal a ruler, one arm contains a hilariously dinky and useless pair of "scissors", his lower legs contained rubbing-transfer panels, and the entire back worked as a sort of pantograph machine - attaching a nib to one end of the large mechanical armature ostensibly allowed you to 'remote draw' designs on the included plates.

Released in the first wave of the series and standing at about four inches tall, he was moulded from red, black and grey plastic and featured stickers for detail. Although armed with only one of his guns and lacking the ability to store it in his battery compartment like the original toy could, he retains his opening chest door. Although ''Transformers Gum'' versions of some of Soundwave's cassettes would later be released, they proved too large to fit in ''Gum'' Soundwave's chest; he could, however, accommodate the smaller cassettes released as part of Kabaya's ''other'' candy toy model kit series, ''[[Transformers Choco]]''.

:This Soundwave figure was later re-released in 1997 by a Korean company named [[Toon Town]], in a two-pack with the "Transformers Gum" version of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]].

: This small purple rubber figurine of Soundwave was released in Japan as part of a large multi-pack of similar figures, which were used as playing pieces for ''Transformers'' board games. The figure features a number etched into its back which is the sum total of Soundwave's [[Tech Spec]] ratings, which served some function in the gameplay the figures were used for. A peach-colored version of Soundwave could be found packed in various other multi-packs the following year, and in numerous other colours as part of the blindpacked ''[[Transformers Ramune]]'' line.

*'''Soundwave''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''36'''

: The Soundwave figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (36, in Soundwave's case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]], and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots.

: Part of a planned second series of ''Transformers [[Attacktix]]'' boosters, Soundwave was to be a 30-point "Leader" class piece.

*'''Soundwave''' (2009)
**''Accessories:'' Gun

: This super-deformed, non-transformable Soundwave figure uses the standard [[Mighty Muggs]] body template, with swivel joints in his neck and arms. His colors are based on those of his original toy, including yellow eyes and even having a painted "screw" behind his head, and he comes with a super-deformed version of his concussion blaster.

==Notes==
* According to an interview in the magazine ''Otaku USA'' (issue 3, pg. 102-3), the original Microchange toy and the accompanying cassettes were at least partially designed by famed mecha designer and anime director [[Shinji Aramaki]]. He did not come up with the transformation scheme, but designed most of the outward appearance and details. He also worked on the toys that became the deluxe [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]], [[Reflector (G1)|Reflector]], and [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]].

* Including the ''[[Micro Change|Microchange]]'' "Cassette Man" version, the original Soundwave mold has sported at least four different tape doors:
** The original MC-10 version had a cassette door that had "Cassette Man" emblazoned on it and featured a hinge that was internal to the robot's body.
** For the initial ''Transformers'' release by Hasbro, the "Cassette Man" text was removed.
** When [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] released the ''Transformers'' version of Soundwave in Japan, they [[retool]]ed the hinge so the bottom of the door attached to the outside of the robot, on either side of the "buttons", which had also been retooled. Both versions of Soundwave were available in Japan, making the retool a running change [[variant]].
** The Soundblaster version had a door that retained the external hinge and added the capacity for holding a second cassette.

[[Image:Classics Soundwave.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Pimp My Ride.]]
* The Decepticon faction insignia appears to be roughly based on Soundwave's head, or vice versa.

* Though Soundwave's toy is a microcassette recorder, his fictional appearances depict him as a stereo cassette deck or Walkman. (Likewise, his microcassette tapes are depicted as regular audio cassettes.)

* "Years ago", [[Don Figueroa]] created a concept drawing for a potential SUV-esque Soundwave toy — either for ''[[Alternators]]'' or ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'', he no longer remembers — which went unused.[http://www.unicron.com/news_item/1132/] Despite the [[fandom]]'s immediate assumptions, ''Transformers Animated'' character designer [[Derrick Wyatt]] has said that this particular design did ''not'' in fact influence the [[Soundwave (Animated)|''Animated'' version of Soundwave]], meaning any resemblance between the two is coincidental.

* During one of Hasbro's designer panels at [[BotCon 2008]], an audience member questioned the feasibility of releasing the [[Soundwave (G1)|''Music Label'' Soundwave toy]] in the [[Universe (2008 franchise)|2008 ''Universe'']] toyline, but '''''without''''' the expensive MP3 player electronics. Bizarrely, Hasbro design director [[Aaron Archer]] gave a seemingly prepared statement that did not answer the question at all, and instead stated that Hasbro were unlikely to release ''Music Label'' Soundwave in their markets due to the obscurity of the MiniSD memory card format. (For what it's worth, Hasbro's [[Greg Lombardo]] had given an actual answer to the same question at [[BotCon 2007]], when he stated that ML Soundwave's innards are so devoted to electronics that removing them might adversely impact the leftover toy's appearance and stability.)

'''[[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]''' has enough toys to afford several new cannons.

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Legends Ironhide DesertBlackout.jpg|right|300px|thumb|''Don't mess'', Blackout, or Ironhide will wave his fist angrily while you fly out of range!]]
*'''Ironhide Vs. Desert Blackout''' (Legends "Allspark Battles" two-pack, 2008)

: An all-new Ironhide tooling that packs considerable accuracy into his small, simple design. Unlike the Voyager class toy, Legends Ironhide stores his cannons in the truck's bed. He comes with a desert scheme redeco of Legends class [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]].

: Amusingly, this version of Ironhide is one of only two American toy releases that has full-length exhaust stacks. Also, there are many complaints about the fists sticking out of the back of the truck and the weird truck proportions.

{{-}}

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Voyager Ironhide toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|[[Guiltaur]] called, he wants his weapon back.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MA-09'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Ironhide transforms into a modified black 2006 [[wikipedia:GMC Topkick|GMC Topkick]] 4500 four-wheel drive pickup truck. Although Hasbro's official stock photos and early packaged [[Prototype|samples]] featured two real-life accurate full length exhaust smokestacks behind the rear cabin, they have been slightly shortened for [[For safety reasons|safety]] and durability reasons for the actual release of the toy. Otherwise, however, the vehicle mode is very accurate to the real prop truck... well, aside from the fact that Ironhide's massive missile launchers are quite visible underneath the vehicle. Despite rumors to the contrary, TakaraTomy's Japanese release of the toy features the same shortened smokestacks as the Hasbro version.

:Ironhide features an [[Automorph]] gimmick in his legs during transformation: As the user swings down his feet, all of the panels that make up his legs automatically shift and fold into place. This gimmick does not affect Ironhide's articulation. Confusingly, the instructions omit the exact positioning of the roof panels and rear window on his back, though they can fold into a compact design for maximum articulation.

:In robot mode,his arm-mounted cannons are inactive while mounted on both arms. However, detaching the left arm cannon and combining it with the right arm creates a '''huge''' functional missile launcher that is almost as big as Ironhide himself. The missile-launching mechanism itself isn't the typical spring-loaded button design, instead relying on a pressure-launch system to fire the missiles from the four barrels.

:The soles of his feet/truck bed are completely smooth and featureless, hiding his feet in truck mode. Unfortunately, the smooth soles also mean that his feet have trouble gripping most surfaces. This, combined with his loose above-the-knee swivels, means that he has trouble standing up in all but the stiffest of poses. The peg that holds his windshield is also prone to cracking, which makes it become loose, and might even result in breakage.

*'''Offroad Ironhide''' (Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Released as part of the "Allspark Power" refresh of the Movie toyline, Offroad Ironhide is a fairly extensive redeco of Voyager class Ironhide in colors reminiscent of the ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[Motormouth]]. As he's now made of several colors of plastic, he's no longer the most monochromatic toy in the 2007 ''Movie'' line.

*'''Ironhide''' ("Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Premium Ironhide is a redeco of the previous released Voyager class Ironhide, painted in a gloss black finish, silver trim on his smokestacks, Road Armor winch and side turn signal detailing, but with them are several inaccurate deco additions including silver detailing to the rims, frosted windows, silver paint on the roof ridges and a large Autobot sigil tampographed onto the hood.

:In robot mode Ironhide is considerably more accurate with gold and gunmetal detailing colors which were missing from the first Voyager release. His large cannons are now molded in mostly black plastic, then painted metallic teal with gold detailing.

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:Movie FAB Ironhide.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Pop goes the Autobot.]]
*'''Cannon Blast Ironhide''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 1 missile

:Part of the [[Fast Action Battlers]] line, "Cannon Blast" Ironhide is a simpler version of the larger toy, geared more towards the younger set who might find the big toy too complicated to transform. He still transforms into the customized GMC Topkick. He features a spring-loaded missile launcher in his left cannon. But, thanks to the simpler transformation, the hood and wheels trap his arms below the wheel. He can't punch or aim his cannon at all, and the elbows have no articulation but swiveling that knocks the arm off his body.

**''Accessories:'' 1 missiles

:A redeco of the Fast Action Battler Ironhide, this version sports a silver and blue color scheme that is both a reversal of the "Offroad" Ironhide Voyager figure... and seemingly an [[homage]] to the [[:Image:G2Gobot_Ironhide.jpg|''Generation 2'' Go-Bots version]] of his ''[[Generation 1]]'' [[Ironhide (G1)|counterpart]], a redeco of Motormouth (see above). Funky!

====Cyber Slammers====
[[Image:Movie CyberSlammers Ironhide.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"Slam" This!]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Cyber Slammer, 2008)

:Cyber Slammers Ironhide is an amazingly cute GMC Topkick that transforms into an amazingly cute trigger happy weapons specialist. 'Slam' his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along, slowly transforming back up into robot mode. Like most Cyber Slammers, Ironhide manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode. Interestingly enough, this is the only pre-Revenge of the Fallen merchandise to feature Ironhide's scarred right eye.

:''[[Titanium Series]]'' Ironhide is a small, 3-inch-tall [[die-cast]] metal mini-statue of Ironhide's robot mode. He has swivel points at the shoulders and head, and comes with a clear plastic movie-style Autobot sigil stand.

*'''Ironhide''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher cannon, energy cannon, projectile

: ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager class Ironhide is a retool of the toy from the 2007 ''Transformers'' movie line. The original arm cannons have been replaced by new, more accurate (and less [[Gimmick|gimmicky]]) cannons that can be connected together and mounted on top of Ironhide's truck bed cover. The truck bed cover and arm mountings for this Ironhide's cannons are unchanged from the 2007 movie line voyagers. So any voyager Ironhide can carry and use both the original and new weapons. The large cannon features screwdriving firing action in which the barrel section twists forward before firing the missile. The small cannon can retract its barrel and has a 5mm hole on its underside that allows it to plug into the peg on the large cannon like a scope if so desired. The smaller cannon can also be swung down flush with the barrel of the larger cannon, evoking the giant missile launcher combo from the 2007 mold. Since the weapons can connect to each other, the figure (and all other uses of this mold) can hold these and the combined 2007 cannons at once. All four cannons can fit on his truck mode as well, the old ones underneath and the new ones on top. Ironhide's head has been replaced with a more accurate, asymmetrical head. Ironhide also features a new grey colour scheme with some red pin stripes and a [[NEST]] logo on each of his doors.

: According to the box pictures and instructions, the small cannon is misassembled. The gray sliding shaft is actually reversed from the direction it is supposed to be facing. This doesn't affect anything, but can be easily fixed by loosening the screws on the black outer section, sliding out the shaft, then turning it around and putting it back in.

: A packaging variant determines whether the missile is loaded or unloaded in the box.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-26'''
**''Accessories:'' Assault rifle, mini-gun, knife A, knife B, bullbar/crossbow, cannon, spring-loaded cannon/crossbow, projectile

:Recon Ironhide is an extensive retool, replacing his doors with military Humvee-style armoured door panels, adding a roof/truck bed-mounted lighting rig/weapons rack and replacing his Road Armor fender with a massive bullbar that can be removed and combined with his spring-loaded cannon to form a crossbow weapon. Ironhide's traditional arm-mounted weapons have been replaced with the aforementioned spring-loaded cannon, a smaller static version of his right-arm mounted cannon, an assault rifle, a mini-gun, and two combat knives, one being short and serrated, the other being long and straight-edged.

:In one of the first intentional uses of the [[C joint]] system (if not ''the'' first), either knife can be attached to the front of the rifle to act as a bayonet, and the rifles and knives can be attached to his various bars and rails. The rifle and mini-gun can be pegged to the sides of his arm mounted cannons, and they can also peg into the main barrel of his static arm cannon.

:Think he's armed enough yet? Additionally, this retool of Ironhide includes a new head-sculpt featuring his battle mask.

:In an unfortunate change, possibly [[For safety reasons|for durability reasons]], all of Ironhide's (newly-tooled) windows are now cast in opaque plastic, compared to the translucent plastic seen on previous versions of this toy.

[[Image:Transformers2010DeluxeIronhide.jpg|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Weapon pod

:A new-sculpt Deluxe-sized figure of Ironhide, with a surprisingly complex transformation and an almost ridiculously [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] (and surprisingly stable) robot mode. His smokestacks are of the long variety.

:The toy comes with a transforming weapon accessory, his missile turret from the [[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video game]]. Sadly, this goes at the expense of a movie-accurate cannon for the left arm. The turret can stay attached to his arm when transforming back to his vehicle mode, thanks to a hard to notice joint on the other arm's cannon flipping open to allow more room, ensuring no chance of losing this accessory. In an undocumented feature, the turret can also attach to the back of Ironhide's vehicle mode by slotting two of its legs into two small holes on the truck bed, the third leg can them be positioned forward and slot into a groove on the back of the cab. This can be quite difficult however if (in another undocumented feature) you do not fully extend the turret's legs which are attached to a black piece which allows all 3 legs to fold down further than just pulling each one out individually; this allows for a greater range of movement and allows the turret to be aimed upwards. Interestingly, his hands can hold 5mm weapons, which means he can use Recon Ironhide's or MechTech weapons.

{{picsneeded|Japanese version}}

:The [[TakaraTomy]] ''Autobot Alliance'' release of this figure features a significant colouring change: Where Hasbro's release cast much of Ironhide's legs, feet, hands, shoulders and some joints in a bright gunmetal colour, TakaraTomy's uses dark grey plastic.

*'''Ironhide''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA04'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Booster/Particle Cannon

:''[[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Voyager class Ironhide is an all-new mold that is smaller, but more accurate, than previous Voyager class Ironhide toys.

:He comes with a large [[MechTech]] "Booster" that converts into a "Particle Cannon" by extending and spinning its barrels when the back is pressed. Twisting the knob at the back of the weapon when it is fully extended will lock it into place. The Booster/Particle Cannon (or any other MechTech weapon) can be attached to Ironhide via [[5mm post]] MechTech ports on either side and on top of Ironhide's vehicle mode, as well as being held in his fists or mounted under his forearms via MechTech ports in robot mode. Additionally, the Booster/Particle Cannon itself features a Mechtech port on its housing. The cannons and weapons included with the previous Voyager class Ironhide toys can also be used with this figure.

:He also has an [[Automorph]] gimmick on his vehicle front end/chest, wherein pushing it automatically deforms both halves of the front end into his chest, and pulling it reforms it back to the vehicle front end.

:This new mold also addresses the stability issues of previous Voyager Ironhides by having the soles of his feet be more textured and rough, allowing it to stand up better. Unfortunately, this results in unsightly gaps on the truck bed in vehicle mode. Oh well.

:The [[stock photo]] on the right has him mis-transformed. The vehicle mode kibble on his left leg has not been pegged in, his feet are backwards, and the tailgate pieces, normally folded into the soles of his feet, are left flipped out and sticking out from the back.

:The Japanese release comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

*'''Cannon Force Ironhide''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Booster/Particle Cannon
:Cannon Force Ironhide is a redeco of Dark of the Moon Voyager class Ironhide in a G1-inspired color scheme, with most of his black parts being cast in red. His deco consists of the upper half of his vehicle being red and his lower half being painted a matte black, with an orange stripe running in-between. His Mechtech weapon has been redecoed as well, with a cooler shade of gray for the housing, and black for the main cannon body.

[[Image:DOTM-Leader-Class-Ironhide.jpg|thumb|300px|Oh for god's sake, it's where you left it, 'hide.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Mechtech Leader, 2011)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''DA16'''
**''Accessories:'' Knife, leg-mounted removable spring-loaded cannon, one projectile

:This version of Ironhide is his first [[Size class|Leader Class]] toy and features all sorts of weaponry and other [[gimmick]]s.

:His main gimmick is his chest-mounted Cybertronian Blitz Cannon, which is activated when either the license plate panel (used as a lever) on his abdomen is flipped and pushed down (similarly to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys 2|the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class Optimus Prime toy]]), or when a tall gray piece on the back-right of his head is pressed down. Two flaps on his abdomen open up, and a back-lit spinning cannon is deployed, lighting up his eyes as well as playing a rapid-fire shooting sound until the button is released, in which the cannon retracts back into his innards and a winding/powering-down sound is played.

:Ironhide's other lights and sounds gimmick is related to his head: when either the button on his chest or the lever on the back of his head are used, his [[mouthplate]] moves down, his eyes flash green and says the following the phrases, "Ironhide, here" and "Weapons ready". He also features cannons mounted on his arms/roof that pop out and deploy when each respective smokestack is pulled, and can be used in either vehicle or robot mode. There is also a small button behind the cabin that emits a (rather vague) sound of the vehicle driving and firing its cannons/ramming through obstacles when it is pressed. If the button is held down further, additional driving and engine revving sounds are emitted.

:Lastly, Ironhide has two weapons hidden in each of his legs. Opening the side of his left leg reveals and pops up a removable knife, whereas opening his right leg deploys a detachable spring-loaded cannon, either of which he can wield.

:Some units have the spring pushed and compressed too far back into the launcher, preventing the projectile from even shooting out. This ''can'' be fixed, but pulling and stretching the small spring further out while it is in the launcher may be rather difficult.

:The two of his hood halves also frequently detach from the ball joints they are mounted on during transformation, quite possibly [[for safety reasons]].

:Despite being advertised as a MechTech figure, Leader class Ironhide's gimmicks are almost entirely unrelated to the interchangeable, spring-loaded MechTech weapons seen on most of the other ''Dark of the Moon'' MechTech toys. Besides his fists, the only two 5mm post/MechTech ports on Ironhide are the ones on the hood halves above his shoulders, which can only be accessed in robot mode.

:His box mentions "Automatic conversion sounds", yet no such sound plays during transformation. Additionally, he is mis-transformed in his stock photography, as his vehicle front-end chest is not connected to his [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux-bumper]] grille, nor are the wheels angled into his chest.

:The Japanese release comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his arm cannons for the MechTech Wars online game, even though his arm cannons aren't actually MechTech weapons in the sense that they are removable weapons that can be given to other characters.

:During the period between 26 December 2010 and 31 January 2011, Hasbro ran their "Supercharge Your Holidays" promotion: for every $20 spent on Hasbro-branded product, customers could receive a free, random product from a list provided by Hasbro. Among the items on the list were "Transformers Combiners and Speed Star Mini-Vehicle" and "Transformers Activator and Speed Star Mini-Vehicle." According to [http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=75487 this discussion thread on Allspark.com], Speed Stars Metal Heroes Ironhide was one of the figures distributed.

*'''GMC TopKick 4500 Ironhide Edition''' (2007)

:As reported at [http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=121589 Edmunds], [http://www.monroetruck.com/index.asp Monroe Truck Equipment], in association with Hasbro, released a GMC TopKick 4500 Ironhide special edition featuring most of the modifications made to the Ironhide vehicle props used in the movie, with the only difference being that the truck will retain its stock orange running lights (the movie used blue) and the large stock sideview mirrors.

:Sadly, installing a grumpy trigger-happy alien robot and deadly high-tech weaponry into the works is not part of the included modifications. Production on the GMC Topkick truck ceased when General Motors exited the medium-duty truck market in 2009.
