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]].

*'''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.

: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.

*'''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.

===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]].

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF Voyager Starscream.jpg|right|300px|thumb|At long last, I have fingers! And tattoos! Odd.]]
*'''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. ''Revenge'' Starscream has two arm-mounted, spring loaded missile launchers sculpted to resemble his [[wikipedia:M61_Vulcan|M61A2 Vulcan 20 mm rotary cannons]]. Starscream's [[Mech Alive]] gimmick 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 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.

*'''Nebular Starscream''' (Voyager, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: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.

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:Starscream ROTF FAB toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Kids, tattoos are awesome, get some NOW!]]
*'''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.

{{-}}

====Gravity Bots====
[[Image:ROTF GravityBots Starscream.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Some toys have hands or maybe a head sticking out of their alternate modes, but Starscream has WHOLE LEGS.]]
*'''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.
{{-}}

====Robot Replicas====
[[Image:ROTF RobotReplicas Starscream.jpg|right|150px|thumb|"Hey guys, like my tattoos?"]]
*'''Starscream''' (Robot Replica, 2009)

: Starscream sacrifices transformation for the sake of accuracy. The figure about 5 1/2" tall and features multiple joints based on the revoltech design.

*'''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]].

====Voyager Class toys====

*'''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.

{{-}}

===Masterpiece===
[[Image:Masterpiece_Movie_Starscream.jpg|thumb|300px|I took a bath!]]
*'''Starscream''' (2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MPM-1'''
**''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]]''.

[[Image:DOTM_CyberverseActionSet_Starscream.jpg|thumb|300px|I shall call him...MINI-SCREAM!]]
*'''Starscream / Orbital Assault Carrier''' (Cyberverse Action Set, 2011)
**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''002'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV03'''
**''Accessories:'' missile launcher, missile
: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.

*'''Bumblebee / Starscream''' (Cyberverse 4-pack, 2011)
**''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]]

**''Japanese ID number:''

: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====

*'''Starscream''' (Voyager, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: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]]''.

His only articulation consists of [[swivel joint]]s in his shoulders.

* '''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.

:The Lunchables website code engraved on his back is "MISLEAD."

*'''Starscream Micro Flyer''' (2007)

:The radio controlled Starscream Micro Flyer was made by Interactive Toy Concepts for Radio Shack, and consists of a foam F-22 Raptor with two small battery-powered propeller engines which allow the little plane to soar relatively high into the air. This toy can operate on 3 channels.
{{-}}

===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!

===Robot Heroes===
[[Image:Rhstarbee.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Packaged with Bumblebee holding the Allspark. TWICE.]]
*'''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.

*'''Autobot Springer and Starscream''' (2009)

: Starscream is part of the first wave of ''[[Revenge of the Fallen]]'' ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' figures and is packaged versus [[Springer (ROTF)|Springer]]. A [[redeco]] of the first Movie-style Starscream, he still has articulation at the shoulders and neck, and now sports [[Cyberglyphics]] tattooed on his body.

**''Series:'' '''Battle Series'''
**''Number:'' '''07 of 08'''

:As a ''[[Robot Powered Machines]]'' "Mini-Vehicle", Starscream is a small, super-deformed F-22 with wheels underneath. His robot mode is also sculpted on the plane's underside, with his chest-canopy rather cleverly acting as a third wheel. Starscream was only initially available in a two-pack with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]].

*'''Starscream''' (2010)

**''Accessories:'' 3 cardboard discs

:Part of the 2010 [[McDonald's]] Revenge of the Fallen promotion, Starscream does not transform but is able to shoot three cardboard discs stored in his back instead. 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.

[[Image:ProtoformStarscreamProto.jpg|thumb|250px]]
* The card back of Protoform Starscream's packaging features a completely different, earlier head sculpt. What's more, this head design is featured on his protoform body in IDW's movie prequel comics. It's since become Starscream's standard "pre-Earth" face, likely out of consistency.

Skywarp (Movie)

2011-10-12T04:26:56Z

58.69.5.99: /* Dark of the Moon */

{{factions|decepticonfilm}}
{{disambig3|Skywarp}}
:''Skywarp is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Rotf_skywarp_titan.jpg|right|thumb|350px|Edward Weaponhands.]]

'''Skywarp''' isn't like most of the other Decepticons. He cares not for power, conquest, or battle. Knowledge is the one goal he has in his life. Others can fight the war themselves, as he is far more comfortable in the solitude of the workspace provided by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. For the generous gift of peace and near unlimited time to research, he develops countless experimental weapons and tools for the Decepticons. Although a scientist, Skywarp is far from unarmed, and is equipped with many weapons that are both insanely powerful and nearly impossible to describe.

==Fiction==
===Titan Magazines ''Transformers'' movie comics===

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

Skywarp and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] are old colleagues in the [[Seeker (Movie)|Seekers]] and Starscream would like to reunite with him. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|#9's Star Screams}}

===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Many years ago, Skywarp was a member of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s [[Defense Force]] under the command of Protector Megatron. When a [[The Fallen|mysterious relic]] was uncovered, aliens from the [[Eshems Nebula]] attacked, leveling much of the city of [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]]. Skywarp 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. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2}}

Skywarp then joined Starscream and the other Decepticons to capture Optimus. When [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] thwarted Megatron's plans to capture him, Megatron declared them traitors and civil war erupted across Cybertron. Skywarp joined Megatron's Decepticon faction. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3}}

===Titan Magazines ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comics===
[[Image:Rotf skywarp supervises devastator.jpg|left|thumb|275px|They would never guess from looking at this comic panel that Devastator can't walk on two legs!]]

Skywarp had been captured by [[NEST]] in some unknown conflict, but escaped their jail in [[South Africa]] when [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] staged his great escape. Skywarp joined his breakaway Decepticon paramilitary. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out}}

His first task was to supervise the reconstruction of the critically damaged [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]. The job was going well at a remote site in the mountains of British Columbia, hidden from sight by an artificial cloud bank, until the Autobot [[Stratosphere]] stumbled across Skywarp's [[Purple generic drones|crew]] while on a routine patrol. When the Autobot Hotshot made a frontal attack on the construction site, Skywarp easily dodged his shots and easily took him down with a single well-placed kick. While standing over him to deliver a kill shot, however, Skywarp miscalculated something important and was clobbered by one of Stratosphere's wings when the Autobot rolled himself over. With Skywarp dazed for a moment, Stratosphere was able to radio in a request for an air-strike to [[NEST]], but Skywarp deemed them more lambs to the slaughter, touting his aerial superiority as he transformed to jet mode and came swooping back around for an attack. Stratosphere opted for a craftier tactic and turned the device generating the cloud bank around, blinding Skywarp with a face-full of vapor and causing him to crash. The NEST air-strike arrived soon after, and it was unclear if Skywarp was able to get away before the blast swept across the area. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}

[[Image:Titan16_skywarpOWW.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Remember kids, lighting farts is never a good idea.]]

An unknown amount of time later, Skywarp was sent to meet the Autobot [[Blazemaster]] and invite the hot-headed psycho to join the Decepticons, proving himself to be quite the chatty chappy. Despite the Autobot's refusal, Skywarp told him to just live with the fact that he had all the credentials to be a murderous villain. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}
{{-}}
===''Unite for the Universe''===
When [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] used the [[Project Unite|Unite]] process to power himself up and take command of the Decepticons, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] moved in to stop the usurper, but since he wasn't an idiot, he had backup standing by. This proved to be a smart move, as [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and a squad of Autobots moved in to not only stop Starscream but to keep Megatron from learning the secrets of Unite himself. While the two leaders tussled, Skywarp, [[Hailstorm (TF 2010)|Hailstorm]], [[Insecticon (Movie)|Insecticon]], and [[Terradive (TF 2010)|Terradive]] moved in to handle the other Autobots. When Starscream attacked them for interfering, Skywarp glibly announced that they had orders to return fire as necessary. They all retreated when Starscream was neutralized and the Unite components fried beyond recovery by [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|The Strongest Weapon}}

*'''Skywarp''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' 6 missiles

: Skywarp is a Walmart [[exclusive]] [[redeco]] of [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]], who was a retool of the original Voyager-class [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] toy with a new head. Cast in black and purple plastic homaging the Generation 1 [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], he transforms into a [[wikipedia:F-22|Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor]] fighter jet. As with Starscream, this vehicle mode is ridiculously inaccurate. 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 Skywarp's [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmick which pushes certain panels, wings and stabilizers out of the torso. In robot mode, his projectile missiles are sculpted to vaguely resemble fingers, should users choose to keep them loaded while Skywarp is in robot mode.

:The original mold of this toy was also used to make ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Ramjet (Movie)|Ramjet]].

===Dark of the Moon===
*'''Skywarp''' (MechTech Deluxe, [[August]] 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD10'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 MechTech Guns/Swords

:''[[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Skywarp 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 two [[MechTech]] weapons, with one weapon being static and the other being functional. Both weapons are double-sided, featuring a gun 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 gun barrel on the static weapon correspond to the peghole and the hole of the scope of the functional weapon, meaning his guns 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.

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

Darksteel (DOTM)

{{factions|decepticon}}

:''Darksteel is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''
[[Image:DarksteelToyPromo.JPG|thumb|350px|Snakeman! Call Dennis Quaid!]]
'''Darksteel''' is dark and presumably made of steel. Tarnation! He was trained on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] as a master swordsman, and although he's still capable of utilizing blasters, he doesn't trust them. There's nothing else with the killing power or reliability of a good blade.

==Toys==
===Dark of the Moon===
*'''Darksteel''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' 2 MechTech Cannons/Swords

:Part of the fifth wave of ''[[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' ''[[MechTech]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Darksteel is a [[retool]] of MechTech Deluxe [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], with a new head and new weapons. Darksteel changes into a Corvette Stingray concept convertible in very dark brown with a teal flame deco. The interior is highly detailed, with seats, dashboard and steering wheel all molded into the compartment, though it's missing its floorboards.

:He comes with retooled versions of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] MechTech weapons, made to resemble snake fangs and a scorpion's stinger. The lever and the slide mechanism, which were originally two separate pieces, are now molded as a single piece. The holes and the pegs used to combine the two weapons have also been widened, making the static "fangs" weapon incapable of combining with the original version of the spring-loaded weapon. One could still combine the original static weapon with this version's spring-loaded "stinger" weapon, however.

:The static weapon's cannon barrel is ''slightly'' longer than the hole it's meant to combine with, meaning that it's pegged a bit crookedly.

:In Japan, this figure was a BIC Camera [[exclusive]] released in September for 3,150 yen (approximately $40 US at then-current conversion rates).

==Notes==
*As revealed at [[BotCon 2011]], Darksteel is an intentional [[homage]] to ''[[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Quickstrike (BW)|Quickstrike]]. This occurred because designer [[Lenny Panzica]] likes snakes.
*Darksteel's name was originally announced at BotCon 2011 as Dark Iron (possibly Darkiron). Evidently plans changed at some point in production.

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.]]

: 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]].

*'''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.

: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.

*'''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.

*'''Gold Protoform Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2008)

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====

*'''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.

*'''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.

**''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?

====Voyager Class toys====

*'''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. ''Revenge'' Starscream has two arm-mounted, spring loaded missile launchers sculpted to resemble his [[wikipedia:M61_Vulcan|M61A2 Vulcan 20 mm rotary cannons]]. Starscream's [[Mech Alive]] gimmick 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 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.

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:'' Missile launcher, 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 missile launcher that fires one of two included projectiles; both missiles and the missile launcher 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.

:''[[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]].

**''Series:'' '''1'''

**''Accessories:'' missile launcher, missile
: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.

: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]]

====Deluxe Class toys====

*'''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.

*'''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!

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.

*'''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]].

====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.

: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.

: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. ''Revenge'' Starscream has two arm-mounted, spring loaded missile launchers sculpted to resemble his [[wikipedia:M61_Vulcan|M61A2 Vulcan 20 mm rotary cannons]]. Starscream's [[Mech Alive]] gimmick 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 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.

====Leader Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF-toy leader Starscream.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"NO ONE DEFEATS [[Bill Rawley|BILL RAAAWLEY"]]]]
*'''Starscream''' (Leader, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher, 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 missile launcher that fires one of two included projectiles; both missiles and the missile launcher 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.

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.

:''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. His null rays combine to form a double bladed weapon that's way taller than he is. He is also one of the few Deluxe figures to have a MechTech weapon that can remain locked in both modes.

===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.

: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.

Darksteel (DOTM)

2011-10-11T13:21:23Z

{{factions|decepticon}}

:''Darksteel is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''
[[Image:DarksteelToyPromo.JPG|thumb|350px|Snakeman! Call Dennis Quaid!]]
'''Darksteel''' is dark and presumably made of steel. Tarnation! He was trained on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] as a master swordsman, and although he's still capable of utilizing blasters, he doesn't trust them. There's nothing else with the killing power or reliability of a good blade.

==Toys==
===Dark of the Moon===
*'''Darksteel''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' 2 MechTech Cannons/Swords

:Part of the fifth wave of ''[[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' ''[[MechTech]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Darksteel is a [[retool]] of MechTech Deluxe [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. Darksteel changes into a Corvette Stingray concept convertible in very dark brown with a teal flame deco. The interior is highly detailed, with seats, dashboard and steering wheel all molded into the compartment, though it's missing its floorboards.

:He comes with retooled versions of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] MechTech weapons, made to resemble snake fangs and a scorpion's stinger. The lever and the slide mechanism, which were originally two separate pieces, are now molded as a single piece. The holes and the pegs used to combine the two weapons have also been widened, making the static "fangs" weapon incapable of combining with the original version of the spring-loaded weapon. One could still combine the original static weapon with this version's spring-loaded "stinger" weapon, however.

:The static weapon's cannon barrel is ''slightly'' longer than the hole it's meant to combine with, meaning that it's pegged a bit crookedly.

:In Japan, this figure was a BIC Camera [[exclusive]] released in September for 3,150 yen (approximately $40 US at then-current conversion rates).

==Notes==
*As revealed at [[BotCon 2011]], Darksteel is an intentional [[homage]] to ''[[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Quickstrike (BW)|Quickstrike]]. This occurred because designer [[Lenny Panzica]] likes snakes.
*Darksteel's name was originally announced at BotCon 2011 as Dark Iron (possibly Darkiron). Evidently plans changed at some point in production.

Show-accuracy

2011-10-11T12:35:59Z

58.69.5.99:

[[Image:Ratchet-charactermodel.jpg|right|300px|thumb|So when we were kids, some of us pretended that he combined with that sled thing to make the full robot. But that's just [[Personal canon|crazy talk]].]]
Transformers characters are frequently represented in multiple different media, ranging from plastic toys to animation to comic books. Their appearances frequently vary between these, leading many fans to select one version that represents the character's "real" appearance and rate others in terms of their similarity to this one. '''Show-accuracy''' is typically a toy's resemblance to the animation's depiction of the same character; conversely, '''toy-accuracy''' is a show character's degree of similarity to the corresponding toy.

In most cases, Transformers are designed as toys first, with cartoon and comic [[Character model|character models]] being artists' interpretations of the toy designs. As such, for the most part, it is toy-accuracy that has the most relevance to the production process. A notable exception to this rule is ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', which featured a large group of new characters whose toys were (for the most part) based on animation designs, rather than vice-versa.

Occasionally, toy and fiction designs are created cooperatively, such as the case of the [[live-action film series|live-action movie]] toys and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Transformers Animated]]'' series. [[Hasbro]] worked closely with [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] and [[Cartoon Network]] to ensure that the fictional designs for each series were workable as toys and that they could get the toys and fiction as close visually as possible (accounting, of course, for the movie and toy line's differing production schedules). In the case of the movie lines, Hasbro later released new-sculpt toys of existing designs that often managed to mimic the movie designs much better than the earlier toys. Just compare ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' Deluxe Class [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys 3|Battle Blades Bumblebee]] to 2007 ''[[Movie (toyline)|Movie]]'' Deluxe Class [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#TF2007ConceptCarmaro|Concept Camaro Bumblebee]].

Another exception frequently happens with [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s releases of Transformers [[Franchise|franchises]] in Japan. Due to the delays in importing shows, Takara frequently has the chance to tweak their releases to resemble the respective animation models better, mostly in regard to color schemes. The most notable example of this was the Japanese release of ''[[Beast Machines (franchise)|Beast Machines]]'' as ''Beast Wars Returns''; the [[Beast Machines (cartoon)|cartoon]] had already been around for years, so it was far easier for Takara simply to produce the toys in different, show-based colors.

In early ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' in particular, toy-accuracy and show-accuracy are both frequently very low, with the [[Character model|character models]] differing greatly from the toys. Recently, however, the gap has narrowed, and [[Cybertron (cartoon)|modern fictional appearances]] of Transformers are often nearly identical to the toys, sometimes to the absurdly literal point of including design oddities that probably wouldn't exist on "real" Transformers. The [[Character model|character model]] for [[Evac (Cybertron)|Evac]], for example, includes the push button that spins the toy's rotor blades.

In a few cases, ''Generation 1'' [[Generation 1 reissues|reissues]] have been [[Retool|retooled]] to enhance their resemblance to their animated counterparts. In the case of the [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] reissue, Takara not only retooled the toy but went so far as to [[Redeco|redeco]] it.

Various non-transforming toys have been made that are designed to resemble ''Generation 1'' cartoon character designs better. Several [[Action Master|Action Masters]] bore closer resemblance to their animation models (though many had color differences, if not outright sculpt issues). More recently, there have been lines such as the highly cartoon-accurate [[Heroes of Cybertron#Mega SCF|Mega SCF]] line and the [[Revoltech]] line. (Though the latter's designs ''specifically'' resembled [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave's]] art style rather than ''Generation 1'' cartoons, Dreamwave's designs are frequently heavily based on ''Generation 1''-based models.)

Many non-posable (or at least, not ''very'' posable) figurines exist based on animation models as well, such as the ''Super Collection Figure/Heroes of Cybertron'' (or "SCF", not to be confused with Mega SCF) line, ''[[Titanium Series]]'' Robot Masters (not to be confused with ''[[Robot Masters (franchise)|Robot Masters]]''), or stylized examples like the ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' line.

Additionally, several newer Transformers take ''Generation 1'' cartoon designs into account to varying degrees, such as the [[Masterpiece]] figures, Robot Masters figures, or more abstractly show-accuracy-inspired examples like the [[Titanium Series|Titanium Cybertron Heroes G1 figures]] and the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'', ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' and ''[[Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' lines. Occasionally, new designs for a given series resemble old G1 characters for whom there were no adequately show-accurate likenesses produced originally—for instance, ''Energon'''s heavily G1-esque [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Energon|Galvatron]]. TakaraTomy sometimes takes so-perceived "show-accuracy" to an absurd maximum with their ''[[Henkei! Henkei! (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' and ''[[United (toyline)|United]]'' lines, where toys from Hasbro's ''Classics'', ''Universe'' and ''Generations'' lines are given almost slavish recreations of their ''Generation 1'' cartoon decos. The most notable example is [[Sideswipe (G1)|Lambor]], who had the supercharger engine accessory of his ''Universe'' Sideswipe release ''omitted'' in order to make him more "Generation 1-accurate" and visually distinguish him further from his brother [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]]. Yes, that's right, TakaraTomy ''deliberately omitted an optional accessory for the sake of "show-accuracy"''.

Similarly, [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]'s original G1 cartoon design deliberately bore little resemblance to the toy-line for licensing reasons, and with subsequent [[homage]] toys, Jetfire has come to resemble the cartoon design more accurately.

[[Image:ShockwaveDOTMgamepromo.jpg|right|thumb|400px|[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s most bewildering foe: the faceless!]]

'''Shockwave''' was left to watch [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] long ago, arriving on Earth to hunt for the [[AllSpark]] shortly after Megatron. A peerless scientist with deadly efficiency and a cold devotion to logic, he is one of the very few who could rival Megatron. Shockwave is ready and willing to destroy the Autobots with his arm-mounted AstroMag Cannon.

{{bigquote|Emotionless, coldly logical, utterly ruthless... killing is all Shockwave lives for.|[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]|[[Dark of the Moon issue 1|''Dark of the Moon'' #1]]}}

==Fiction==
===IDW live-action film prequel comics===
[[Image:Foundation1-Shockwavedoesntlikeit.jpg|left|thumb|250px|"'''Your star burns!''' I require frozen treats."]]
Eons after the [[Dynasty of Primes]] were vanquished, Cybertron fell into dark times. The [[AllSpark]] had been buried somewhere within Cybertron and been dismissed as a legend, and the planet itself lacked a star to orbit. As energy became more and more scarce, Cybertronians segregated into tribes. Shockwave chose to rally behind [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]], who claimed to be descended from [[Primus]] himself. However, he faced opposition from the non-believer [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacons]], and Shockwave joined [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], and several others in repelling their attacks. Ultimately, Sentinel Prime won the day, as he and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] were successful in locating the lost AllSpark and harnessing a new sun to orbit. This, however, did not please Shockwave. Now that the war was over, he was dissatisfied, and he no longer knew his purpose. This shocked his old friend, Megatron, and Shockwave explained that it was the journey he enjoyed, not the destination. Plus, well, that new sun was kind of bright. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}}

The next day, Megatron detailed to Shockwave how he had eavesdropped on a conversation between Sentinel and Optimus, where Sentinel had tried to pass on leadership to Optimus, who refused, unable to accept he was also a Prime. At the outskirts of [[Thetacon (polity)|Thetacon]], they encountered a [[Driller]], a subterranean lifeform that had been brought to the planet's surface by the new energy flowing through it, which was attacking a group of [[Hatchling]]s and their protector [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Shockwave was amazed by the creature and called it "magnificent". After besting it, he joined the Cybertronian [[Defense Force]] that Sentinel placed under Megatron's command, rooting out dissident Transformers. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

After the war broke out he joined the Decepticons. As Starscream was asking what to do next minutes before the [[Nemesis (ROTF)|''Nemesis'']] went to space, Shockwave told him that they would obey Megatron's orders without any question. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} When the Autobots attacked [[Simfur Temple]], Shockwave attempted to apprehend [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]], but with no success. When Starscream blew up the [[Ark (DOTM)|ship]] carrying Sentinel and his [[pillar|secret weapon]], Shockwave ordered the annihilation of the retreating Autobots, but Megatron made him stand down, gleefully predicting Optimus would return with a vengeance. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Shockwave returned with Megatron to his [[Lord High Protector citadel|citadel]] during Optimus's revenge attack. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Shockwave asked Megatron if he could kill Optimus Prime and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] after they had been stuck by the [[smelting pool]], but Megatron was disappointed by Shockwave's lack of vision. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} Optimus got inside to fight Megatron, while Starscream and Shockwave attempted to kill their former comrade Ironhide. Suddenly, the skies darkened: the Autobots had attacked the citadel to distract the Decepticons from their true goal of stealing the AllSpark from the temple. Optimus blasted Starscream and Shockwave, and the two Autobots escaped. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

[[Image:RisingStorm2-ShockwaveAllSpark.jpg|thumb|250px|]] Some time later, after the Autobots sent the All Spark into space, Starscream left Shockwave in charge of the Decepticons still on Cybertron as he went in search of his prize. During a battle with a team of Autobots, Shockwave heard the scream of the AllSpark when it was found by [[Sector Seven]]. Leaving [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] in charge of the Decepticons on Cybertron, Shockwave set out in an impossibly fast ship, swearing not to return without the AllSpark. He crashed in Tunguska, [[Siberia]] in [[1908]].<ref>''Rising Storm'' issue 2 reveals that Shockwave caused the mysterious real-life [[wikipedia:Tunguska_event|Tunguska event.]]</ref> He remained buried there in [[stasis lock]], healing until [[Soviet Union|Soviet Russia]] found him ten years later. Using stolen research from the U.S., who had found Megatron the same way, the Russians reverse-engineered his technology to invent nuclear power plants. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} {{storylink|Frozen}}

There were no digital records of Shockwave's existence, and the physical documents pertaining to him were lost, burned, shredded or stolen in the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse. The Siberian facility was abandoned and Shockwave was left forgotten. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

At some point during 2009, Shockwave was caught on film and the event was written up for a newspaper article.

[[Image:RisingStorm_Shockwave_and_astrotrain.jpg|left|thumb|250px|"Astrotrain, go away. You're spoiling the G1 ambiance around me."]]
Soundwave discovered the satirical article and its photograph, and deduced it was based on stolen Soviet documents. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}} In [[2010]], Megatron freed Shockwave and brought him to his "base" in [[Namibia]], where he was eager to get back to killing Autobots as soon as possible. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

Shockwave and [[Astrotrain (DOTM)|Astrotrain]] made their presence known on Earth near [[Dalian]], [[China]], where they quickly disposed of the Autobots [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] and stole material for a mysterious construction project.

Shockwave began following the exploits of Earth's stranded Transformers from afar, and derided its war's combatants as idiots after watching a skirmish in [[California]]. After contacting Astrotrain for an update on their project, he tracked [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]]'s radiation trail back to Starscream's current base of operations, in a junkyard on the outskirts of [[Mexico City]]. Blasting his way through the Decepticons unwise enough to try defending Starscream, Shockwave informed the treacherous air commander that Megatron had "requested his services." Before the conversation could go any further, Astrotrain radioed Shockwave with some bad news: the "[[Brains|brain unit]]" scrap drone that held the control software for the machine he was constructing had escaped. Shockwave charged Starscream and his followers with recovering the drone. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

[[Image:Risingstorm_3_shockwave_on_NEST.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Shock blast!]]

Shockwave contacted an angry Starscream who thought he was promised the Autobots would be occupied. Shockwave countered that they were occupied, but, you know, with Starscream, leaving Shockwave free to leave a message for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] at the [[NEST]] Headquarters in [[Diego Garcia]]. After killing [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]], [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]], and other Autobots who stood in his way, Shockwave confronted the trembling humans left to fend for themselves. When Shockwave asked who was in command, [[Theodore Galloway]] told him that he was. Shockwave killed Galloway and the other humans save one, and he asked his question one more time. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

After killing [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]], he and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] left Diego Garcia, then he arrived in [[Philadelphia]] killing [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] in the process and shot down [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] and [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]]. Enraged by the death of Elita-One and the other Autobots. Optimus Prime battled Shockwave destroying half of his face and body, Prime was about to kill Shockwave, till Shockwave's [[Driller|"pet"]] came to save his master. the badly damaged Shockwave returned to Namibia along Starscream and Soundwave. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

[[Image:DOTM - ShockwaveDriller.jpg|left|thumb|300px|"We have worm sign."]]

Shockwave and his pet [[Driller]] attacked the Autobots when they were summoned to [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant|Chernobyl]] by the Decepticon agent [[Voskhod]]. This was done as an act of misdirection to ensure that the Autobots did not realize that the Decepticons actually wanted them to find the fuel cell from the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] located within the facility. After Optimus retrieved the fuel cell from the Driller, Shockwave emerged from it to reveal himself to Optimus, and the pair quickly retreated underground, leaving Optimus very disturbed to see Shockwave on Earth.

[[Image:DOTM-Shockwavecloseup.jpg|right|thumb|250px|"I see you"]]

Later, Shockwave took part in the invasion of Chicago. He and the Driller emerged from beneath the convoy of Autobots, and the Driller separated Optimus from his trailer. Shockwave left the Driller and proceeded to track down the Autobots. The [[Wrecker]]s were sent to distract him, peppering his armor with fire from their machineguns. He used a car as a shield and fired at them, and once they drove off he menacingly began to pursue them down the road, missing the two small Autobots, [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and [[Brains]], who quickly fled.

[[Image:830px-Dotm-shockwave&driller-film-chicago.jpg|left|thumb|250px|"Driller-bot is thirsty"]]
Later, he noticed humans inside a building, and sent his Driller into the fray to topple a building and kill [[Sam Witwicky]], [[Carly Spencer]], [[Robert Epps]], and the other humans inside. However the beast was killed by Optimus Prime using his flight gear, and Shockwave, enraged by the death of his pet, opened fire on the Autobot leader, briefly disabling him and taking him out of the fight.

[[Image:DOTM-OptimusShockwave.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Give me your eye! ... through your throat!]]

He soon joined [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] to round up the other Autobots. Brains and Wheelie forestalled the Decepticon's from further executing their prisoners by taking control of a Decepticon gunship, and dropping [[Orbital Assault Carrier|fighters]] onto the battlefield. Shockwave retreated further away with Barricade and some other Decepticons. However the human soldiers had set a trap, and while firing at them, Shockwave was blinded by one of their parachutes, and his eye was then shot out, causing it to dangle by its wires. Optimus Prime then came charging back into the battle, and when Shockwave fired at him the Autobot dodged the shot, donned a set of knuckle-spikes, and punched Shockwave so hard that part of his abdomen shattered. Even this did not put Shockwave down, but Prime did not let up - he punched Shockwave again, pinned the Decepticon down and tore his dangling eye out through his throat, finally ending the Decepticon's life. Optimus then used Shockwave's cannon to shoot out the control pillar set up in the city. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

Prime actually had a grip on the helicopter net that held Bumblebee, but the force of Shockwave's entry mode's impact knocked him off, allowing Sector Seven to get away.

Later, when the Autobots returned to Cybertron, Shockwave appeared on the planet alongside (and presumably leading) an army of Decepticon drones. Optimus quickly defeated the drones and once more defeated Shockwave.

{{note|Shockwave is not a playable character in the game, appearing only as a boss character during the Autobot campaign. He also appears (but does not transform) as one of the enemies battled in the Autobot campaign's bonus level set on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], but what this implies about Shocky is debatable at best, given the level's questionable in-game continuity.}}

===''Transformers: The Game'' (PSP)===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Daniel Riordan]]

[[Image:Shockwave movie psp.jpg|left|170px|thumb|He makes up for his loss of weapons by being the most awesome character in the game. It is only logical.]]

The massive Shockwave might ''look'' like he's purely about muscle and firepower, but he's actually remarkably shrewd and cunning. Coveting the position of Decepticon leader for himself, Shockwave has been working to oust Megatron for years. As you might imagine, he and Starscream don't get along very well.

When the Decepticons arrived on Earth in search of their lost leader, Megatron, Shockwave adopted a tank as his alternate mode. Shockwave was supposed to join [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] in his attack on the [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]], but instead busied himself surrepticiously searching for leads to the location of the [[AllSpark]]. After receiving a communique from [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]], who informed him that the Autobots were on Earth and had discovered their own leads to the location of Megatron, Shockwave had [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] airlift him to Qatar, where he helped Blackout take care of the last few military units opposing him. He relayed Frenzy's message to Blackout, then departed for the Arctic with Thundercracker, intending to investigate the site where Megatron's body was discovered.

In the Arctic, Shockwave and Thundercracker faced resistance from an Autobot unit in the area, but fought their way through them to discover that Megatron's body had been moved by [[Sector Seven]]. The trip was not a wasted one, however: after scanning a computer terminal in the cavern, Shockwave discovered that Megatron had brought an army of drones with him to Earth to help in the search for the All Spark. These drones were presently lying dormant all over the Earth, and Shockwave schemed to reactivate them so that they could serve him as his personal army. The signal required to reanimated the drones had to be broadcast from a great height, so Shockwave and Thundercracker quickly made their way to a rocket launch site, where Shockwave
programmed the code into a rocket that subsequently beamed the signal down over the Earth from space. Drones sprang to life all over the planet, and began attacking the Autobots. Shockwave's control of his
self-made army was short lived, however, as Autobots [[Trailbreaker (Movie)|Trailbreaker]] and [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] successfully transmitted a virus that shut the drones down. Simultaneously, Shockwave received another message from Frenzy that the he had discovered the location of Megatron, and that the Decepticon leader was about to reawaken.

After the Autobots defeated Megatron and most of the other Decepticons in battle in [[Center City]], Shockwave retreated back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], as did Starscream. Back on their homeworld, Shockwave and Starscream faced off for leadership of the Decepticons, with Starscream ultimately claiming victory. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (PSP)|Transformers The Game (PSP)}}

{{note|In contrast to the console version of the game, Shockwave ''is'' a playable character on the PSP.}}

===Autobot Stronghold===

Shockwave was used as the basis for an army of [[drone]] units, who were part of the constant attacks on the Autobot's [[LG]] Stronghold. For some reason, these drones had ''two'' Sparks. {{storylink|Autobot Stronghold}}

===''Transformers: Dark of the Moon - The Game''===
====(Xbox 360/PS3)====
[[Image:Dark of the Moon game Shockwave.jpg|thumb|300px|Shockwave on the warpath.]]
Shockwave was frozen underneath a Russian facility after crashing to Earth thousands of years ago. His leader [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] decided to find and release his assassin, since he was needed for the upcoming operation. Optimus discovered Shockwave and ordered Ratchet to activate more freeze tanks to keep him frozen. however the Driller woke from its slumber, and lashed out at the intruder. After thawing out, he decided to kill the first thing his optic lay eyes on: Optimus. However, he was still a bit woozy from waking up and taking action so quickly, so he tended to make a few hiccups in his attacks, before finally waking up. Autobot reinforcements weren't helping Optimus, as they were dispatched quite easily. During their skirmish, Optimus Prime (with a little help from [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]) deduced his weak spot as the three cylinder-shaped generators mounted on his back. Optimus Prime was then able to take down Shockwave with his jetpack/machinegun upgrades, until the Driller decided to intervene, and blocked off the shots while retreating with its master.

Shortly after that, he met up with Megatron, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] in Nambia, Africa and was ordered to find a device in a nuclear power plant named Chernobyl. Shockwave agreed and listened to Megatron gloat to the other Decepticons about Operation Pillar.

[[Image:DOTM Cyberverse Shockwave FusionTank.jpg|thumb|350px|right|It's a fusion of terror and more terror.]]
*'''Shockwave / Fusion Tank''' (Cyberverse Action Set, 2011)
**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''006'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV19'''
**''Accessories:'' Battle Cannon/Particle Wave Blaster, rubber hose, arm blade

: The [[Cyberverse]] Commander class Shockwave is cast in a lighter purple than his Voyager class figure. Like that larger toy, he transforms into a Cybertronian tank, and features a removable cannon, blade, and hose. He also has a back component that attaches to his vehicle to form a "Fusion Tank", and features a removable firing missile launcher. This component can transform into a "Ground Weapon" mode and a "Battle Base" mode. Both parts of the Fusion Tank include multiple ports for attaching Shockwave's accessories or other Cyberverse weapons.

: Despite what the promotional pictures and instructions show, the Battle Base mode seems more intended to point its missile launcher straight up. This allows the Shockwave figure to actually fit on the base and even insert the post on the base into his back. Said instructions refer to his back component's ground weapon mode as a tank as well.

: Shockwave's alternate mode has some rather annoying problems with the treads refusing to straighten out or peg onto his body and front "wheels" securely. As a result, combining him with the action set to form the "Fusion Tank" mode will result in the back treads becoming parallel with the rest of the tank... while the front treads split open and detach from the wheels.

: Like other action sets, Shockwave comes with a cardboard backdrop. In his case, it’s a scene of Chicago under attack. Oddly, the box bio mentions Shockwave's ability to drill through the ground with no mention of his [[Driller|friend]].

*'''Shockwave''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD05'''
**''Accessories:'' [[MechTech]] Battle Cannon/Particle Wave Blaster, rubber hose, arm blade

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Voyager Class [[MechTech]] toys, Shockwave transforms into a purple Cybertronian tank. He has a large, detachable MechTech Battle Cannon on his right arm with a rubber tube which connects to his back, and a removable blade on his left arm. When a lever is pushed on the rear of his arm cannon, MechTech gearing opens up the cannon wider with more barrels and blades. [[C joint]] rungs are located on Shockwave's arm-blade, one concealed underneath said blade, and two on his AstroMag cannon, two more on his backpack, and two more on his feet. Other MechTech weapons can peg into Shockwave's hands, on the barrel of his cannon, and behind each shoulder blade. Due to the nature of his MechTech weapon being integrated with his arm, it is not a prime candidate for swapping with other toys, due to the shape and color of the weapon.

: Shockwave's forearms seem to be backward in robot mode, with the screws holding them together facing out while the backs of his forearms are smooth and screw-hole-free. This may have been done to keep the screw-holes out of sight in vehicle mode, instead. Also, his arm blade, when put in its proper place on his tank mode, is clearly backward. The blade has an obvious back, its left side, marked with gaps, whereas the mold detail on its right side is much cleaner. It's apparently meant to be displayed on the figure's right arm, with the clean side of the weapon facing outward. It should be noted that disassembling the figure's forearms and swapping them would change the cannon to the left, which shouldn't be done because: 1) it's [[Show-accuracy|movie-inaccurate]], 2) the wrist is held together with a pin which can be tricky to remove, and 3) the gun hose is clearly meant to go to the right in robot mode, otherwise it will restrict articulation or keep falling off - though it should be mentioned that the peg hole where the hose attaches to the gun can be rotated 180 degrees, enabling the hose to be positioned on either side of the weapon. The extra barrels in the cannon do seem to be mis-assembled as well, as they feature the same problem as the arm blade.

: The instructions tell you to keep the cannon attached to his right arm in tank mode, though it is possible to stick it in between the arms. This is done by sliding the cannon's bottom in between Shockwave's thumbs. It is fairly stable, matches some stock photography and makes for a more coherent tank.

: Shockwave's stock photography depicts him in a much, much brighter and bluer purple while the MechTech lever on the cannon is bright red. Although partly cropped, his packaging photography on the box-front depicts an alternative placement of his gun hose in tank mode, plugging into the port on the side of his rear treads, which actually aligns better than the awkward frontal position depicted in the [[instructions]]; in the box-back, there is no gun hose, but since the picture is taken from a left profile, it could just be covered by the toy itself, reinforcing the alternate placement. The stock photography shown also depicts Shockwave's hands to be articulated at the wrists, as the right arm in the photo has the hand rotated 90 degrees from the position actually possible with the figure. Also many more paint applications are present in the stock photography, not limited to the red lever on the cannon, but vents on the vehicle mode are picked out in silver as well as gold details on the hips and both halves of tread on each side of the body being painted silver. Overall, the colour scheme shown on the box photography is completely different from the actual figure within, with the stock photo's silver replaced with a metallic lilac on the hands, feet spikes and knees.

*'''Optimus Prime vs. Shockwave''' (MechTech Voyager 2-pack, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' [[MechTech]] Battle Cannon/Particle Wave Blaster, rubber hose, arm blade

: Advertised as "'''SHOCKWAVE with CYBER METAL Armour'''" on the sticker, this [[Costco]]-[[exclusive]] two-pack contains a redeco of Shockwave along with an unchanged ''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Voyager_Class_toys_4|Optimus Prime]]. He has been redecoed to mostly resemble the darker-colored figure shown in stock photos of the previous toy, with his dark purple changed to a dark blue and gray replacing the lilac, with the grays being darker in general. His ribs and his treads are also painted in a much brighter silver. His MechTech weapon has also been redecoed, with the purple parts and hose being cast in a brighter purple translucent plastic.

==Notes==
* [[Transformers The Game (console)|''Transformers: The Game'']] Shockwave was designed by artist [[Ken Christiansen]].
*The "Attack Copter", "Recon Chopper" and "Stealth Chopper" [[Create-A-Bot (Autobot)|Create-]][[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|A-Bot]] vehicle modes from the [[Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Nintendo DS video games]] transform into robot modes bearing some resemblance to Shockwave. The Attack Chopper is the only one that can be customized to appear purple, though.
*The photo on the newspaper article in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' is of [[:Image:Shockwaveministatue.jpg|Palisades's statue]] of [[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1 Shockwave]], with something digitally added in the foreground.
*Shockwave was heavily touted as the new main villain prior to the release of ''Dark of the Moon'', no doubt in an attempt to conceal [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]'s unexpected betrayal halfway through the movie. A piece of information that commonly popped up in media coverage was the claim that Shockwave was the ruler of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] while the other Autobots and Decepticons were duking it out on Earth.<ref name="pushpops">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-just-movie-31/transformers-3-plot-summary-revealed-170756/ "Transformers 3 Plot Summary Revealed"], TFW2005, October 2010.</ref> The last bit could be written off as a case of [[Wikipedia:Chinese whispers|chinese whisper]]: Shockwave got announced as the villain for ''Dark of the Moon'', mainstream media (such as USA Today<ref name="usatodayswitch">[http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2010-06-11-Transformers11_ST_N.htm "Next 'Transformers' is due for a switch"], USA Today, June 2010.</ref>) who aren't versed in Transformers lore looked up the character, found out about his ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Shockwave (G1)|namesake]]'s role in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon]], included it as a piece of trivia to show they did their research, and then the trivia note got picked up as gospel by other media. Nevertheless, it was included in the ''official plot summary'' by Paramount's German branch (which also claimed that ''Shockwave'' was the robot discovered inside the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'' as seen in the trailer).<ref name="germansite">[http://www.transformers3-film.de/ Official German DOTM site] including faulty plot summary.</ref>
*Despite being one of the most highly anticipated characters in the film, Shockwave has very minimal screentime. His only understandable line in the film is at Chernobyl: "Optimus," and seems more like a drone than Megatron's greatest assassin. In the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|comic adaptation]], which was based on early drafts of the script, Shockwave had more lines during the Chicago battle.
*Shockwave does not have the same form in IDW's ''[[Transformers: Rising Storm]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Foundation|Foundation]]'' that he does in ''Dark of the Moon'' despite both being Cybertronian forms. His form in the comics is less skeletal in robot mode than his appearance in the film, and he also transforms into a Cybertronian jet, much like [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s original body, whereas his film design transforms into some form of Cybertronian tank. (Following the leader, maybe?) [[John Barber]] commented on his Twitter account that he isn't sure why Shockwave's appearance is different from that in the film, but that an explanation will be given in issue 4 of ''Rising Storm''. <ref>http://twitter.com/#!/TheJohnBarber/status/60710221739339776</ref> While the issue doesn't explicitly show how he gets his ''Dark of the Moon'' body, Shockwave is indeed badly damaged by Optimus Prime. Possibly because of this extensive reconstruction, Shockwave doesn't transform in the film (or the video game prequel before it, which displayed him with his current body instead of the old, G1-esque one).
*[[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1 Shockwave]]'s original voice actor, [[Corey Burton]], expressed that he had no interest in voicing him for ''Dark of the Moon'', explaining "[I] have practically no interest in that kind of mega-budget movie enterprise involvement" and that the inspiration for his Shockwave voice, [[wikipedia:David Warner (actor)|David Warner]], was rumored to have been considered.<ref>[http://www.coreyburton.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=2707&highlight=#2707 Corey Burton's message board post.]</ref> In the end, Shockwave's almost-entirely-wordless-snarl-based role would have been something of a waste of Warner; the role ultimately went to Frank Welker. There's a nice touch of symmetry in the casting, with Welker taking over a Burton-originated role not long after Burton took on a Welker-originated character in [[Megatron (Animated)|''Animated'' Megatron]].
*Hasbro's online bio for Shockwave claims he had spent decades trapped under Chernobyl, but this was not reflected in any actual media; both the video game and ''Rising Storm'' comics have him held at a Russian facility from which he is freed shortly before the film's events, and the film itself doesn't give any indication that his appearance at Chernobyl in its opening scenes is an "escape" of any kind.
[[Image:ShockwaveBoxartFace.jpg|thumb|150px|right|"Logically, I must gnaw your head off."]]
*Bucking tradition, this Shockwave has a mouth. Sure, it's more like a horrifying maw of teeth, but it's there.
*Shockwave's AstroMag cannon is a reference to [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Notes|the original Shockwave's]] toy mold being first released by ToyCo as the "[http://www.robot-japan.com/Gallery/Takara/Transformers/G1/AstroMagnum/Toybox-Astro-Magnum.asp 4 Changeable Astro Magnum]".
*Select [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] stores in the US had a promotion for a Shockwave poster with the purchase of any [[Transformers brand]] [[toy]] from [[June 5]], 2011 to [[June 11]], 2011.
*Although Shockwave's toy transforms into a Cybertronian tank, this alternate mode is never seen in the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|live-action movie]] nor the video game.
*While Shockwave's weapon of choice is described as a particle or laser cannon in most related Dark of the Moon media, it appears to be some variety of cluster missile launcher in the movie proper.
*Early artwork for Shockwave for ''Dark of the Moon'' showed '''Blitzwing''' as a working name for the character.<ref name="nizzi">[http://www.joshnizzi.com/TF3.htm Josh Nizzi DOTM concepts.]</ref>
*Shockwave appears to have the ability of flight in his robot mode.

'''Shockwave''' was left to watch [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] long ago, arriving on Earth to hunt for the [[AllSpark]] shortly after Megatron. A peerless scientist with deadly efficiency and a cold devotion to logic, he is one of the very few who could rival Megatron. Shockwave is ready and willing to destroy the Autobots with his arm-mounted AstroMag Cannon.

[[Image:Foundation1-Shockwavedoesntlikeit.jpg|left|thumb|250px|"'''Your star burns!''' I require frozen treats."]]
Eons after the [[Dynasty of Primes]] were vanquished, Cybertron fell into dark times. The [[AllSpark]] had been buried somewhere within Cybertron and been dismissed as a legend, and the planet itself lacked a star to orbit. As energy became more and more scarce, Cybertronians segregated into tribes. Shockwave chose to rally behind [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]], who claimed to be descended from [[Primus]] himself. However, he faced opposition from the non-believer [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacons]], and Shockwave joined [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], and several others in repelling their attacks. Ultimately, Sentinel Prime won the day, as he and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] were successful in locating the lost AllSpark and harnessing a new sun to orbit. This, however, did not please Shockwave. Now that the war was over, he was dissatisfied, and he no longer knew his purpose. This shocked his old friend, Megatron, and Shockwave explained that it was the journey he enjoyed, not the destination. Plus, well, that new sun was kind of bright. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}}

The next day, Megatron detailed to Shockwave how he had eavesdropped on a conversation between Sentinel and Optimus, where Sentinel had tried to pass on leadership to Optimus, who refused, unable to accept he was also a Prime. At the outskirts of [[Thetacon (polity)|Thetacon]], they encountered a [[Driller]], a subterranean lifeform that had been brought to the planet's surface by the new energy flowing through it, which was attacking a group of [[Hatchling]]s and their protector [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Shockwave was amazed by the creature and called it "magnificent". After besting it, he joined the Cybertronian [[Defense Force]] that Sentinel placed under Megatron's command, rooting out dissident Transformers. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

After the war broke out he joined the Decepticons. As Starscream was asking what to do next minutes before the [[Nemesis (ROTF)|''Nemesis'']] went to space, Shockwave told him that they would obey Megatron's orders without any question. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} When the Autobots attacked [[Simfur Temple]], Shockwave attempted to apprehend [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]], but with no success. When Starscream blew up the [[Ark (DOTM)|ship]] carrying Sentinel and his [[pillar|secret weapon]], Shockwave ordered the annihilation of the retreating Autobots, but Megatron made him stand down, gleefully predicting Optimus would return with a vengeance. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Shockwave returned with Megatron to his [[Lord High Protector citadel|citadel]] during Optimus's revenge attack. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Shockwave asked Megatron if he could kill Optimus Prime and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] after they had been stuck by the [[smelting pool]], but Megatron was disappointed by Shockwave's lack of vision. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} Optimus got inside to fight Megatron, while Starscream and Shockwave attempted to kill their former comrade Ironhide. Suddenly, the skies darkened: the Autobots had attacked the citadel to distract the Decepticons from their true goal of stealing the AllSpark from the temple. Optimus blasted Starscream and Shockwave, and the two Autobots escaped. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

[[Image:RisingStorm2-ShockwaveAllSpark.jpg|thumb|250px|]] Some time later, after the Autobots sent the All Spark into space, Starscream left Shockwave in charge of the Decepticons still on Cybertron as he went in search of his prize. During a battle with a team of Autobots, Shockwave heard the scream of the AllSpark when it was found by [[Sector Seven]]. Leaving [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] in charge of the Decepticons on Cybertron, Shockwave set out in an impossibly fast ship, swearing not to return without the AllSpark. He crashed in Tunguska, [[Siberia]] in [[1908]].<ref>''Rising Storm'' issue 2 reveals that Shockwave caused the mysterious real-life [[wikipedia:Tunguska_event|Tunguska event.]]</ref> He remained buried there in [[stasis lock]], healing until [[Soviet Union|Soviet Russia]] found him ten years later. Using stolen research from the U.S., who had found Megatron the same way, the Russians reverse-engineered his technology to invent nuclear power plants. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} {{storylink|Frozen}}

There were no digital records of Shockwave's existence, and the physical documents pertaining to him were lost, burned, shredded or stolen in the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse. The Siberian facility was abandoned and Shockwave was left forgotten. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

At some point during 2009, Shockwave was caught on film and the event was written up for a newspaper article.

Soundwave discovered the satirical article and its photograph, and deduced it was based on stolen Soviet documents. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}} In [[2010]], Megatron freed Shockwave and brought him to his "base" in [[Namibia]], where he was eager to get back to killing Autobots as soon as possible. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

Shockwave and [[Astrotrain (DOTM)|Astrotrain]] made their presence known on Earth near [[Dalian]], [[China]], where they quickly disposed of the Autobots [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] and stole material for a mysterious construction project.

Shockwave began following the exploits of Earth's stranded Transformers from afar, and derided its war's combatants as idiots after watching a skirmish in [[California]]. After contacting Astrotrain for an update on their project, he tracked [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]]'s radiation trail back to Starscream's current base of operations, in a junkyard on the outskirts of [[Mexico City]]. Blasting his way through the Decepticons unwise enough to try defending Starscream, Shockwave informed the treacherous air commander that Megatron had "requested his services." Before the conversation could go any further, Astrotrain radioed Shockwave with some bad news: the "[[Brains|brain unit]]" scrap drone that held the control software for the machine he was constructing had escaped. Shockwave charged Starscream and his followers with recovering the drone. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

[[Image:Risingstorm_3_shockwave_on_NEST.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Shock blast!]]

Shockwave contacted an angry Starscream who thought he was promised the Autobots would be occupied. Shockwave countered that they were occupied, but, you know, with Starscream, leaving Shockwave free to leave a message for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] at the [[NEST]] Headquarters in [[Diego Garcia]]. After killing [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]], [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]], and other Autobots who stood in his way, Shockwave confronted the trembling humans left to fend for themselves. When Shockwave asked who was in command, [[Theodore Galloway]] told him that he was. Shockwave killed Galloway and the other humans save one, and he asked his question one more time. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

After killing [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]], he and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] left Diego Garcia, then he arrived in [[Philadelphia]] killing [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] in the process and shot down [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] and [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]]. Enraged by the death of Elita-One and the other Autobots. Optimus Prime battled Shockwave destroying half of his face and body, Prime was about to kill Shockwave, till Shockwave's [[Driller|"pet"]] came to save his master. the badly damaged Shockwave returned to Namibia along Starscream and Soundwave. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

[[Image:DOTM - ShockwaveDriller.jpg|left|thumb|300px|"We have worm sign."]]

Shockwave and his pet [[Driller]] attacked the Autobots when they were summoned to [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant|Chernobyl]] by the Decepticon agent [[Voskhod]]. This was done as an act of misdirection to ensure that the Autobots did not realize that the Decepticons actually wanted them to find the fuel cell from the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] located within the facility. After Optimus retrieved the fuel cell from the Driller, Shockwave emerged from it to reveal himself to Optimus, and the pair quickly retreated underground, leaving Optimus very disturbed to see Shockwave on Earth.

[[Image:DOTM-Shockwavecloseup.jpg|right|thumb|250px|"I see you"]]

Later, Shockwave took part in the invasion of Chicago. He and the Driller emerged from beneath the convoy of Autobots, and the Driller separated Optimus from his trailer. Shockwave left the Driller and proceeded to track down the Autobots. The [[Wrecker]]s were sent to distract him, peppering his armor with fire from their machineguns. He used a car as a shield and fired at them, and once they drove off he menacingly began to pursue them down the road, missing the two small Autobots, [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and [[Brains]], who quickly fled.

[[Image:830px-Dotm-shockwave&driller-film-chicago.jpg|left|thumb|250px|"Driller-bot is thirsty"]]
Later, he noticed humans inside a building, and sent his Driller into the fray to topple a building and kill [[Sam Witwicky]], [[Carly Spencer]], [[Robert Epps]], and the other humans inside. However the beast was killed by Optimus Prime using his flight gear, and Shockwave, enraged by the death of his pet, opened fire on the Autobot leader, briefly disabling him and taking him out of the fight.

He soon joined [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] to round up the other Autobots. Brains and Wheelie forestalled the Decepticon's from further executing their prisoners by taking control of a Decepticon gunship, and dropping [[Orbital Assault Carrier|fighters]] onto the battlefield. Shockwave retreated further away with Barricade and some other Decepticons. However the human soldiers had set a trap, and while firing at them, Shockwave was blinded by one of their parachutes, and his eye was then shot out, causing it to dangle by its wires. Optimus Prime then came charging back into the battle, and when Shockwave fired at him the Autobot dodged the shot, donned a set of knuckle-spikes, and punched Shockwave so hard that part of his abdomen shattered. Even this did not put Shockwave down, but Prime did not let up - he punched Shockwave again, pinned the Decepticon down and tore his dangling eye out through his throat, finally ending the Decepticon's life. Optimus then used Shockwave's cannon to shoot out the control pillar set up in the city. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

Under the orders of Starscream, Shockwave attacked [[Tranquility]] in an effort to interfere with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s attempt to rescue [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] from [[Sector Seven]]. Prime actually had a grip on the helicopter net that held Bumblebee, but the force of Shockwave's entry mode's impact knocked him off, allowing Sector Seven to get away.

[[Image:Tf2007console shockwave turrent.jpg|200px|thumb|Death Cannon OF LOGIC!]]
Landing in downtown, the [[Triple Changer|triple-changing]] Shockwave adopted a helicopter and an artillery emplacement as his alternate modes, promptly transforming into the latter and lobbing explosives around the city. Prime, forced to cut off his rescue, charged in and pounded Shockwave until the goliath transformed and retreated to another position. Prime doggedly kept at Shockwave, following him every time he retreated, eventually defeating the Decepticon and saving Tranquility. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game (console)}}

Later, when the Autobots returned to Cybertron, Shockwave appeared on the planet alongside (and presumably leading) an army of Decepticon drones. Optimus quickly defeated the drones and once more defeated Shockwave.

{{note|Shockwave is not a playable character in the game, appearing only as a boss character during the Autobot campaign. He also appears (but does not transform) as one of the enemies battled in the Autobot campaign's bonus level set on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], but what this implies about Shocky is debatable at best, given the level's questionable in-game continuity.}}

===''Transformers: The Game'' (PSP)===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Daniel Riordan]]

[[Image:Shockwave movie psp.jpg|left|170px|thumb|He makes up for his loss of weapons by being the most awesome character in the game. It is only logical.]]

The massive Shockwave might ''look'' like he's purely about muscle and firepower, but he's actually remarkably shrewd and cunning. Coveting the position of Decepticon leader for himself, Shockwave has been working to oust Megatron for years. As you might imagine, he and Starscream don't get along very well.

When the Decepticons arrived on Earth in search of their lost leader, Megatron, Shockwave adopted a tank as his alternate mode. Shockwave was supposed to join [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] in his attack on the [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]], but instead busied himself surrepticiously searching for leads to the location of the [[AllSpark]]. After receiving a communique from [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]], who informed him that the Autobots were on Earth and had discovered their own leads to the location of Megatron, Shockwave had [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] airlift him to Qatar, where he helped Blackout take care of the last few military units opposing him. He relayed Frenzy's message to Blackout, then departed for the Arctic with Thundercracker, intending to investigate the site where Megatron's body was discovered.

In the Arctic, Shockwave and Thundercracker faced resistance from an Autobot unit in the area, but fought their way through them to discover that Megatron's body had been moved by [[Sector Seven]]. The trip was not a wasted one, however: after scanning a computer terminal in the cavern, Shockwave discovered that Megatron had brought an army of drones with him to Earth to help in the search for the All Spark. These drones were presently lying dormant all over the Earth, and Shockwave schemed to reactivate them so that they could serve him as his personal army. The signal required to reanimated the drones had to be broadcast from a great height, so Shockwave and Thundercracker quickly made their way to a rocket launch site, where Shockwave
programmed the code into a rocket that subsequently beamed the signal down over the Earth from space. Drones sprang to life all over the planet, and began attacking the Autobots. Shockwave's control of his
self-made army was short lived, however, as Autobots [[Trailbreaker (Movie)|Trailbreaker]] and [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] successfully transmitted a virus that shut the drones down. Simultaneously, Shockwave received another message from Frenzy that the he had discovered the location of Megatron, and that the Decepticon leader was about to reawaken.

After the Autobots defeated Megatron and most of the other Decepticons in battle in [[Center City]], Shockwave retreated back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], as did Starscream. Back on their homeworld, Shockwave and Starscream faced off for leadership of the Decepticons, with Starscream ultimately claiming victory. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (PSP)|Transformers The Game (PSP)}}

{{note|In contrast to the console version of the game, Shockwave ''is'' a playable character on the PSP.}}

===Autobot Stronghold===

Shockwave was used as the basis for an army of [[drone]] units, who were part of the constant attacks on the Autobot's [[LG]] Stronghold. For some reason, these drones had ''two'' Sparks. {{storylink|Autobot Stronghold}}

====(Xbox 360/PS3)====
[[Image:Dark of the Moon game Shockwave.jpg|thumb|300px|Shockwave on the warpath.]]
Shockwave was frozen underneath a Russian facility after crashing to Earth thousands of years ago. His leader [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] decided to find and release his assassin, since he was needed for the upcoming operation. Optimus discovered Shockwave and ordered Ratchet to activate more freeze tanks to keep him frozen. however the Driller woke from its slumber, and lashed out at the intruder. After thawing out, he decided to kill the first thing his optic lay eyes on: Optimus. However, he was still a bit woozy from waking up and taking action so quickly, so he tended to make a few hiccups in his attacks, before finally waking up. Autobot reinforcements weren't helping Optimus, as they were dispatched quite easily. During their skirmish, Optimus Prime (with a little help from [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]) deduced his weak spot as the three cylinder-shaped generators mounted on his back. Optimus Prime was then able to take down Shockwave with his jetpack/machinegun upgrades, until the Driller decided to intervene, and blocked off the shots while retreating with its master.

Shortly after that, he met up with Megatron, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] in Nambia, Africa and was ordered to find a device in a nuclear power plant named Chernobyl. Shockwave agreed and listened to Megatron gloat to the other Decepticons about Operation Pillar.

[[Image:DOTM Cyberverse Shockwave FusionTank.jpg|thumb|350px|right|It's a fusion of terror and more terror.]]
*'''Shockwave / Fusion Tank''' (Cyberverse Action Set, 2011)
**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''006'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV19'''
**''Accessories:'' Battle Cannon/Particle Wave Blaster, rubber hose, arm blade

: The [[Cyberverse]] Commander class Shockwave is cast in a lighter purple than his Voyager class figure. Like that larger toy, he transforms into a Cybertronian tank, and features a removable cannon, blade, and hose. He also has a back component that attaches to his vehicle to form a "Fusion Tank", and features a removable firing missile launcher. This component can transform into a "Ground Weapon" mode and a "Battle Base" mode. Both parts of the Fusion Tank include multiple ports for attaching Shockwave's accessories or other Cyberverse weapons.

: Despite what the promotional pictures and instructions show, the Battle Base mode seems more intended to point its missile launcher straight up. This allows the Shockwave figure to actually fit on the base and even insert the post on the base into his back. Said instructions refer to his back component's ground weapon mode as a tank as well.

: Shockwave's alternate mode has some rather annoying problems with the treads refusing to straighten out or peg onto his body and front "wheels" securely. As a result, combining him with the action set to form the "Fusion Tank" mode will result in the back treads becoming parallel with the rest of the tank... while the front treads split open and detach from the wheels.

: Like other action sets, Shockwave comes with a cardboard backdrop. In his case, it’s a scene of Chicago under attack. Oddly, the box bio mentions Shockwave's ability to drill through the ground with no mention of his [[Driller|friend]].

*'''Shockwave''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD05'''
**''Accessories:'' [[MechTech]] Battle Cannon/Particle Wave Blaster, rubber hose, arm blade

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Voyager Class [[MechTech]] toys, Shockwave transforms into a purple Cybertronian tank. He has a large, detachable MechTech Battle Cannon on his right arm with a rubber tube which connects to his back, and a removable blade on his left arm. When a lever is pushed on the rear of his arm cannon, MechTech gearing opens up the cannon wider with more barrels and blades. [[C joint]] rungs are located on Shockwave's arm-blade, one concealed underneath said blade, and two on his AstroMag cannon, two more on his backpack, and two more on his feet. Other MechTech weapons can peg into Shockwave's hands, on the barrel of his cannon, and behind each shoulder blade. Due to the nature of his MechTech weapon supposed to be integrated with his arm, it is not a prime candidate for swapping with other toys, due to the shape and color of the weapon.

: Shockwave's forearms seem to be backward, with the screws holding them together facing out; the backs of his forearms are smooth and screw-hole-free. Also indicating that his forearms may have been swapped is the fact that his arm blade, when put in its proper place on his tank mode, is clearly backward. The blade has an obvious back, its left side, marked with gaps; the mold detail on its right side is much cleaner. It's apparently meant to be displayed on the figure's right arm, with the clean side of the weapon facing outward. However, disassembling the figure's forearms and swapping them would change the cannon to the left, which shouldn't be done because: 1) it's movie-inaccurate, and 2) the gun hose is clearly meant to go to the right in robot mode, otherwise it will restrict articulation or keep falling off - though it should be mentioned that the peg hole where the hose attaches to the gun can be rotated 180 degrees, enabling the hose to be positioned on either side of the weapon. Also, the wrist is held together with a pin which can be tricky to remove. On the other hand, the extra barrels in the cannon do seem to be misassembled, as they feature the same problem as the arm blade.

: The instructions tell you to keep the cannon attached to his right arm in tank mode, though it is possible to stick it in between the arms. This is done by sliding the cannon's bottom in between Shockwave's thumbs. It is fairly stable, matches some stock photography and makes for a more coherent tank.

: Shockwave's stock photography depicts him in a much, much brighter and bluer purple while the MechTech lever on the cannon is bright red. Although partly cropped, his packaging photography on the box-front depicts an alternative placement of his gun hose in tank mode, plugging into the port on the side of his rear treads, which actually aligns better than the awkward frontal position depicted in the [[instructions]]; in the box-back, there is no gun hose, but since the picture is taken from a left profile, it could just be covered by the toy itself, reinforcing the alternate placement. The stock photography shown also depicts Shockwave's hands to be articulated at the wrists, as the right arm in the photo has the hand rotated 90 degrees from the position actually possible with the figure. Also many more paint applications are present in the stock photography, not limited to the red lever on the cannon, but vents on the vehicle mode are picked out in silver as well as gold details on the hips and both halves of tread on each side of the body being painted silver. Overall, the colour scheme shown on the box photography is completely different from the actual figure within, with the stock photo's silver replaced with a metallic lilac on the hands, feet spikes and knees.

*'''Optimus Prime vs. Shockwave''' (MechTech Voyager 2-pack, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' [[MechTech]] Battle Cannon/Particle Wave Blaster, rubber hose, arm blade

: Advertised as "'''SHOCKWAVE with CYBER METAL Armour'''" on the sticker, this [[Costco]]-[[exclusive]] two-pack contains a redeco of Shockwave along with an unchanged ''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Voyager_Class_toys_4|Optimus Prime]]. He has been redecoed to mostly resemble the darker-colored figure shown in stock photos of the previous toy, with his dark purple changed to a dark blue and gray replacing the lilac, with the grays being darker in general. His ribs and his treads are also painted in a much brighter silver. His MechTech weapon has also been redecoed, with the purple parts and hose being cast in a brighter purple translucent plastic.

==Notes==
* [[Transformers The Game (console)|''Transformers: The Game'']] Shockwave was designed by artist [[Ken Christiansen]].
*The "Attack Copter", "Recon Chopper" and "Stealth Chopper" [[Create-A-Bot (Autobot)|Create-]][[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|A-Bot]] vehicle modes from the [[Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Nintendo DS video games]] transform into robot modes bearing some resemblance to Shockwave. The Attack Chopper is the only one that can be customized to appear purple, though.
*The photo on the newspaper article in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' is of [[:Image:Shockwaveministatue.jpg|Palisades's statue]] of [[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1 Shockwave]], with something digitally added in the foreground.
*Shockwave was heavily touted as the new main villain prior to the release of ''Dark of the Moon'', no doubt in an attempt to conceal [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]'s unexpected betrayal halfway through the movie. A piece of information that commonly popped up in media coverage was the claim that Shockwave was the ruler of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] while the other Autobots and Decepticons were duking it out on Earth.<ref name="pushpops">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-just-movie-31/transformers-3-plot-summary-revealed-170756/ "Transformers 3 Plot Summary Revealed"], TFW2005, October 2010.</ref> The last bit could be written off as a case of [[Wikipedia:Chinese whispers|chinese whisper]]: Shockwave got announced as the villain for ''Dark of the Moon'', mainstream media (such as USA Today<ref name="usatodayswitch">[http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2010-06-11-Transformers11_ST_N.htm "Next 'Transformers' is due for a switch"], USA Today, June 2010.</ref>) who aren't versed in Transformers lore looked up the character, found out about his ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Shockwave (G1)|namesake]]'s role in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon]], included it as a piece of trivia to show they did their research, and then the trivia note got picked up as gospel by other media. Nevertheless, it was included in the ''official plot summary'' by Paramount's German branch (which also claimed that ''Shockwave'' was the robot discovered inside the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'' as seen in the trailer).<ref name="germansite">[http://www.transformers3-film.de/ Official German DOTM site] including faulty plot summary.</ref>
*Despite being one of the most highly anticipated characters in the film, Shockwave has very minimal screentime. His only understandable line in the film is at Chernobyl: "Optimus," and seems more like a drone than Megatron's greatest assassin. In the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|comic adaptation]], which was based on early drafts of the script, Shockwave had more lines during the Chicago battle.
*Shockwave does not have the same form in IDW's ''[[Transformers: Rising Storm]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Foundation|Foundation]]'' that he does in ''Dark of the Moon'' despite both being Cybertronian forms. His form in the comics is less skeletal in robot mode than his appearance in the film, and he also transforms into a Cybertronian jet, much like [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s original body, whereas his film design transforms into some form of Cybertronian tank. (Following the leader, maybe?) [[John Barber]] commented on his Twitter account that he isn't sure why Shockwave's appearance is different from that in the film, but that an explanation will be given in issue 4 of ''Rising Storm''. <ref>http://twitter.com/#!/TheJohnBarber/status/60710221739339776</ref> While the issue doesn't explicitly show how he gets his ''Dark of the Moon'' body, Shockwave is indeed badly damaged by Optimus Prime. Possibly because of this extensive reconstruction, Shockwave doesn't transform in the film (or the video game prequel before it, which displayed him with his current body instead of the old, G1-esque one).
*[[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1 Shockwave]]'s original voice actor, [[Corey Burton]], expressed that he had no interest in voicing him for ''Dark of the Moon'', explaining "[I] have practically no interest in that kind of mega-budget movie enterprise involvement" and that the inspiration for his Shockwave voice, [[wikipedia:David Warner (actor)|David Warner]], was rumored to have been considered.<ref>[http://www.coreyburton.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=2707&highlight=#2707 Corey Burton's message board post.]</ref> In the end, Shockwave's almost-entirely-wordless-snarl-based role would have been something of a waste of Warner; the role ultimately went to Frank Welker. There's a nice touch of symmetry in the casting, with Welker taking over a Burton-originated role not long after Burton took on a Welker-originated character in [[Megatron (Animated)|''Animated'' Megatron]].
*Hasbro's online bio for Shockwave claims he had spent decades trapped under Chernobyl, but this was not reflected in any actual media; both the video game and ''Rising Storm'' comics have him held at a Russian facility from which he is freed shortly before the film's events, and the film itself doesn't give any indication that his appearance at Chernobyl in its opening scenes is an "escape" of any kind.
[[Image:ShockwaveBoxartFace.jpg|thumb|150px|right|"Logically, I must gnaw your head off."]]
*Bucking tradition, this Shockwave has a mouth. Sure, it's more like a horrifying maw of teeth, but it's there.
*Shockwave's AstroMag cannon is a reference to [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Notes|the original Shockwave's]] toy mold being first released by ToyCo as the "[http://www.robot-japan.com/Gallery/Takara/Transformers/G1/AstroMagnum/Toybox-Astro-Magnum.asp 4 Changeable Astro Magnum]".
*Select [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] stores in the US had a promotion for a Shockwave poster with the purchase of any [[Transformers brand]] [[toy]] from [[June 5]], 2011 to [[June 11]], 2011.
*Although Shockwave's toy transforms into a Cybertronian tank, this alternate mode is never seen in the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|live-action movie]] nor the video game.
*While Shockwave's weapon of choice is described as a particle or laser cannon in most related Dark of the Moon media, it appears to be some variety of cluster missile launcher in the movie proper.
*Early artwork for Shockwave for ''Dark of the Moon'' showed '''Blitzwing''' as a working name for the character.<ref name="nizzi">[http://www.joshnizzi.com/TF3.htm Josh Nizzi DOTM concepts.]</ref>
*Shockwave appears to have the ability of flight in his robot mode.

'''[[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.

*'''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.

===Deluxe Class toys===
[[Image:Bumblebeemovietoydeluxe67.jpg|right|300px|thumb|These used cars are fully loaded!]]
*'''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.

: A redeco of the Japanese version of the Classic Camaro Bumblebee mold, Bumblebee Limited Metallic Color Version (バンブルビー限定メタリックカラー Ver., ''Bumblebee Gentei Metallic Color Ver.'') was exclusively available with the purchase of a ticket for the movie in Japanese Lawson stores. It retained the clear blue windows and missiles of the standard Japanese release.

*'''Towed to Safety''' (Deluxe two-pack, UK 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: This set features an unaltered Deluxe class [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] figure and a Deluxe class 1976 Camaro Bumblebee figure. 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>

:Thus far, this pack has only been released in the United Kingdom.

*'''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.

*'''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.

*'''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.

**''Accessories:'' Pulse Missile

:Released as part of the preview series of figures for [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen's toyline]] alongside [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], Bumblebee is a retool of the Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold, feature a new vehicle front end, hood and wheels to reflect the changes to the prop vehicle used in the movie; and in robot mode has a new, more accurate headsculpt. His right arm has been retooled to accommodate a built-in spring-loaded plasma cannon, replacing the converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version of this mold. 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...

[[Image:ROTFtoy-CannonBumblebee.jpg|right|thumb|300px|New from the ass up!]]
*'''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).

*'''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.

:Pulse Blast Bumblebee is a retool of 2007's Plasma Punch Bumblebee, with updated vehicle mode parts to reflect the changes in the prop Camaro vehicle, along with a new, more accurate head sculpt. Like the 2007's Plasma Punch photo, stock photographs by Hasbro neglect to tilt the car front fender panels.

*'''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.

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.

: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. Amusingly, this has already happened before and in almost the exact same way. History tends to repeat itself, folks.

**''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.

**''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.

: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 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.

The included Sam Witwicky figure is largely unchanged from the original ''Revenge of the Fallen'' release, and rather than using the usual "4NZZ454" [[license plate]], this one's license plates sport the word BEE with the Autobot sigil next to it.

*'''Chevrolet Camaro Transformers Special Edition''' (2009)

: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.

:Production of the Transformers Special Edition ceased on [[January 12]], [[2010]], and with an estimated 1,500 Camaro to have been produced straight from order workbenches.<ref>[http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48563 "Camaro changes - Aqua Blue and Transformers Edition to end; high wing spoiler; hurst". Camaro5.com]</ref> Though production for this full package (with an order of a new Camaro) has ceased, the individual parts that made up the package can still be purchased through authorised GM accessory dealers. However, inspection of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) would reveal if the Camaro was a true Transformers Special Edition or an after-market clone.

:In conjunction with ''[[Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', Chevrolet will begin taking orders for the 2012 Transformers Special Edition package for the Chevy Camaro in July, 2011, with vehicles arriving at dealers in the U.S. and Canada in September of the same year. Based upon the Bumblebee Camaro prop as it appears in ''Dark of the Moon'', the package consists of Rally Yellow exterior color with black rally stripes that stretch over the hood, roof, decklid and a ''Dark of the Moon'' -inspired high-wing rear spoiler; 20-inch, black-painted wheels with performance tires, and Autobot Shield logos on the center caps and front quarter panels.

[[Image:ChevyCamaro2012TransformersSpecialEdition_optionals.jpg|thumb|left|300px|]]

:Inside, the package has a black leather interior accented with yellow stitching on the instrument panel, center console, armrests and seats. Autobot Shield logos are embroidered on the front headrests, as well as the center console lid.

:Additionally, two dealer-installed options are available: exclusive, 21-inch, black-painted wheels and a black ground-effects package.

==Notes==
[[Image:ROTF Legends Bumblebee HTS.jpg|thumb|200px|Are you calling me yellow? ... wait.]]
* A weapon considered for Bumblebee was a pair of arm-mounted electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stingers]]. The Bumblebee Camaro '09 toy's blade weapon might have been influenced by this early concept.
*Stock photos of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends-class Bumblebee toy show it in a much brighter shade of yellow plastic than it was released as. The reason for this change is unknown.

'''[[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.

===Legends Class toys===

*'''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.

*'''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.

===Deluxe Class toys===
[[Image:Bumblebeemovietoydeluxe67.jpg|right|300px|thumb|These used cars are fully loaded!]]
*'''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.

[[Image:Bumblebee Barricade deluxeboxset.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"Go ahead, make my day!"]]
*'''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.

{{-}}
*'''Bumblebee Limited Metallic Color Version''' (Lawson exclusive Deluxe-sized Classic Camaro, TakaraTomy 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: A redeco of the Japanese version of the Classic Camaro Bumblebee mold, Bumblebee Limited Metallic Color Version (バンブルビー限定メタリックカラー Ver., ''Bumblebee Gentei Metallic Color Ver.'') was exclusively available with the purchase of a ticket for the movie in Japanese Lawson stores. It retained the clear blue windows and missiles of the standard Japanese release.

*'''Towed to Safety''' (Deluxe two-pack, UK 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: This set features an unaltered Deluxe class [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] figure and a Deluxe class 1976 Camaro Bumblebee figure. 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>

:Thus far, this pack has only been released in the United Kingdom.

[[Image:Movie Deluxe 2009 Bumblebee toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Nu-uh! You don't want none of this!]]
*'''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]].

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Bumblebee Evolutionofahero.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Hey, look, Concept Camaro, now ''you're'' the piece o' crap.]]
*'''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.

{{-}}
*'''Bumblebee and Optimus Prime''' (Argos exclusive two-pack, UK 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: A two-pack, exclusively available at Argos stores in the United Kingdom, which contains an unchanged Voyager-class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and an equally unchanged Deluxe-class Concept Camaro Bumblebee.

[[Image:Movie ScreenBattles CaptureofBB.jpg|right|300px|thumb|You'll never take me alive!]]
*'''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]]).

*'''All Spark-Enhanced Bumblebee''' (Target Exclusive Deluxe, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: This Target exclusive features the Deluxe Class Bumblebee in unique cylindrical packaging, with the only difference from his standard release being that key robot mode parts are highlighted by the slavish 'All Spark Blue' color for no other reason than [[to sell toys]].

*'''Stealth Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Concept Camaro, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: 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.

:Downloadable content for the [[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|Xbox 360/PS3 version of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' game]] features this deco as an alternate skin for Bumblebee.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-22'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

:This [[redeco]] of the Deluxe-class Concept Camaro toy features a similar deco as the Screen Battles version in terms of plastic colours, but replaces the head sculpt with the "battle mask" sculpt previously used for Stealth Bumblebee. All of his outer car body panels have been coated in a metallic yellow paint job.

*'''The Legacy of Bumblebee''' (Deluxe class multi-pack, 2008)

:A Walmart [[exclusive]] three pack, ''The Legacy of Bumblebee'' collector's set comes with [[Bumblebee (G1)|''Classics'']], Movie Deluxe Concept Camaro ([[Premium Series]]) and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] figures. 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! Henkei!'' Bumble.

===Screen Battles===
[[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.

*'''Plasma Punch Bumblebee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma Bolt

:[[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.

===Cyber Slammers===

*'''Bumblebee''' (Classic Camaro Cyber Slammer, 2007)

: Cyber Slammers Bumblebee is an amazingly cute 1976 Camaro that transforms into an amazingly cute Autobot buddy of human characters. "Slam" his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along for a while, then snaps back up into robot mode.

: This toy was also made available during the 2007 holiday season as a freebie "Bonus Buy" packaged with Cyber Stompin' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] at Wal-Mart stores.

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Bumblebee CamaroConcept CyberSlammer.jpg|right|300px|thumb|And so, Bumblebee rejoins the Throttlebots.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Concept Camaro Cyber Slammer, 2007)

:The second [[Cyber Slammers]] Bumblebee figure toy transforms into a Concept Camaro and shares no parts with the previous Cyber Slammers Bumblebee figure. 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]].

*'''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.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Cyber Stompin' Robots, 2007)

: [[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.

*'''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.

: Made by [[RadioShack]] under license from [[Hasbro]] and [[Dreamworks]]. The three-function infrared remote, in Bumblebee's signature colors, gives you control of the car with forward and reverse turn movement. More than just a car styled after the Movie character, the car also transforms to robot mode. The top of the gun-shaped IR remote's barrel serves as a display stand. The tip of the gun barrel can also be unscrewed, revealing a pen (!) inside.

: This Bumblebee is a three-inch tall painted mini-statue of his 1976 Camaro body form. He features die-cast in his torso and thighs, and he has swivel joints at the shoulders, head and waist. Oh, and he comes with a Movie-style Autobot logo base to stand on.

: This item was also packed in with Ultimate Bumblebee as a Costco-exclusive set.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Pulse Missile

:Released as part of the preview series of figures for [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen's toyline]] alongside [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], Bumblebee is a retool of the Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold, feature a new vehicle front end, hood and wheels to reflect the changes to the prop vehicle used in the movie; and in robot mode has a new, more accurate headsculpt. His right arm has been retooled to accommodate a built-in spring-loaded plasma cannon, replacing the converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version of this mold. 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...

[[Image:ROTFtoy-CannonBumblebee.jpg|right|thumb|300px|New from the ass up!]]
*'''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).

===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.

[[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.

Cybertronian Bumblebee is a redeco of ''[[Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Legends Class]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Bumblebee]], done up in live-action movie Bumblebee-style colours, while the other Bumblebee is a redeco of the 011 Bumblebee (see below) retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class toy, partially cast in translucent plastic and painted with a grid pattern to simulate a [[trans-scan]] effect. This Bumblebee also comes with ''[[Machine Wars]]'' [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]'s gun (though this weapon is also depicted on Starscream's side of the instructions, confusing matters of ownership a bit), which can be held in his newly retooled right hand.

:The Bumblebees come packed with a retool of [[Movie (toyline)|''Transformers'']] Legends Class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Starscream]] and a redeco of [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'']] Legends class [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]].

:Yet ''another'' Stealth Bumblebee, this toy is a [[black repaint|black]] [[repaint]] of his ''Dark of the Moon'' mold. His deco consists of the first two-thirds of his vehicle painted black, with painted yellow stripes on the hood and sides, and the rear third of his vehicle being an unpainted metallic yellow, giving the appearance of the stripes extending out from the back. His headlights and windshields are painted a metallic blue, and he has a gold Autobot insignia on the tip of his hood.

:While this toy is listed as Stealth Bumblebee on the Hasbro website and named as such on the [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]], the "Stealth" prefix did not appear on the American packaging for some time.

*'''Bumblebee''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''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.His joints are also somewhat loose. 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.Oddly,his [[MechTech]] weapon does NOT fit in other models plugs.Other models weapons can't fit in his plugs. 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.

:Just like his CG robot model, his [[package art]] depicts his racing stripes being pinstripe-bordered despite his toy no longer having it. Whoops.Another strange change is that his doors still have windows despite having those Nascar windows.Double whoops.

*'''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.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2011)
**''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.

: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.

==Notes==
[[Image:ROTF Legends Bumblebee HTS.jpg|thumb|200px|Are you calling me yellow? ... wait.]]
* A weapon considered for Bumblebee was a pair of arm-mounted electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stingers]]. The Bumblebee Camaro '09 toy's blade weapon might have been influenced by this early concept.
*Stock photos of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends-class Bumblebee toy show it in a much brighter shade of yellow plastic than it was released as. The reason for this change is unknown.

*'''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.

*'''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.

**''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.

: This set features an unaltered Deluxe class [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] figure and a Deluxe class 1976 Camaro Bumblebee figure. 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>

:Thus far, this pack has only been released in the United Kingdom.

**''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''' (Deluxe Class Concept Camaro, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: 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.

:Downloadable content for the [[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|Xbox 360/PS3 version of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' game]] features this deco as an alternate skin for Bumblebee.

:This [[redeco]] of the Deluxe-class Concept Camaro toy features a similar deco as the Screen Battles version in terms of plastic colours, but replaces the head sculpt with the "battle mask" sculpt previously used for Stealth Bumblebee. All of his outer car body panels have been coated in a metallic yellow paint job.

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!

*'''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.

: This toy was also made available during the 2007 holiday season as a freebie "Bonus Buy" packaged with Cyber Stompin' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] at Wal-Mart stores.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Concept Camaro Cyber Slammer, 2007)

:The second [[Cyber Slammers]] Bumblebee figure toy transforms into a Concept Camaro and shares no parts with the previous Cyber Slammers Bumblebee figure. 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 three-function infrared remote, in Bumblebee's signature colors, gives you control of the car with forward and reverse turn movement. More than just a car styled after the Movie character, the car also transforms to robot mode. The top of the gun-shaped IR remote's barrel serves as a display stand. The tip of the gun barrel can also be unscrewed, revealing a pen (!) inside.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Pulse Missile

:Released as part of the preview series of figures for [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen's toyline]] alongside [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], Bumblebee is a retool of the Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold, feature a new vehicle front end, hood and wheels to reflect the changes to the prop vehicle used in the movie; and in robot mode has a new, more accurate headsculpt. His right arm has been retooled to accommodate a built-in spring-loaded plasma cannon, replacing the converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version of this mold. 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...

[[Image:ROTFtoy-CannonBumblebee.jpg|right|thumb|300px|New from the ass up!]]
*'''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).

===Human Alliance===

*'''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.

*'''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.

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.

: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.

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.Oddly,his [[MechTech]] weapon does NOT fit in other models plugs.Other models weapons can't fit in his plugs. Additionally, [[C joint]] bars are sculpted into Bumblebee's forearms.

: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.

==Notes==
[[Image:ROTF Legends Bumblebee HTS.jpg|thumb|200px|Are you calling me yellow? ... wait.]]
* A weapon considered for Bumblebee was a pair of arm-mounted electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stingers]]. The Bumblebee Camaro '09 toy's blade weapon might have been influenced by this early concept.
*Stock photos of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends-class Bumblebee toy show it in a much brighter shade of yellow plastic than it was released as. The reason for this change is unknown.

Misassembly

2011-10-11T10:14:42Z

58.69.5.99: /* Swapped parts */

[[Image:MegatronUltimateBattle.jpg|right|220px|thumb|Doomed to walk backwards, but oddly has become a much better dancer as a result.]]
'''Misassembly''' is what happens when something goes wrong in the production process and parts of a toy are assembled in a way other than their design intended. It can happen for a variety of reasons, but the result is that many or even ''all'' units of a given production run on a toy will contain some form of incorrect assembly.

The most common form of misassembly is the swapping of two similar parts from left to right, such as feet, forearms, door kibble etc., and/or having parts attached backwards.

Misassembled toys will often appear normal at first glance, having made it through the manufacture and packaging process including [[quality control]], either without anyone noticing or, if they did, without thinking it was a significant enough problem to warrant the trouble of making a mid-run correction. Mistaken assemblies can create problems with [[articulation]] or [[transformation]], such as toys which can essentially transform but have parts that are difficult or impossible to click fully into place.

==Examples of widespread cases==
===Swapped parts===
[[Image:Cybertron OptimusPrime deluxe toy.jpg|thumb|230px|right|WhY mY ELboWs huRt]]
* ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]]'s forearms
* ''Universe'' [[Battle in a Box]] two-pack [[Ultra Magnus (Universe Two-Pack)|Ultra Magnus's]] forearms (error carried over onto the [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Optimus Prime]] [[redeco]] released as a mass-retail Deluxe Class toy for the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' line, then fixed with a [[variant|running change]] version)
* ''Universe'' [[Repugnus (Universe)|Repugnus's]] beast mode foreclaws (the same error is repeated on the [[BotCon 2005]] reuses of the sculpt.)
* ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing's]] upper arms
[[Image:Human Alliance Bumblebee Prototype.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Don't try this at home, kids!]]
* ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Storm Jet (Energon)|Storm Jet]] has his inside legs swapped so that the knee joint faces the wrong way. Furthermore, his shoulders are also misassembled, since there is a molded chevron...in his armpit. The same error is repeated on every subsequent reuse of the sculpt, such as ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Silverbolt (G1)#Universe (2008)|Silverbolt]] and the [[rebranding|rebranded]] ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Silverbolt (ROTF)#toys|Silverbolt]].
* ''Energon'' [[Steamhammer (Energon)|Steamhammer]] and his redeco, ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' [[Scavenger (G1)|Scavenger]], have the treads in vehicle mode swapped. As a result, the small tabs on the sides of the treads that are supposed to peg into the holes in the gray flaps on the hips, thereby stabilizing the robot torso, are located on the sides of the head instead. Fortunately, the treads can be easily swapped using a screwdriver.<ref name="ooebi">[http://ooebihara.sakura.ne.jp/toys/TF/Slink/ex01/ex01.htm Ooebi's Hobby Factory gallery of Superlink Buildron]</ref> Hasbro's official [[stock photography|stock photos]] depict the treads correctly assembled, and the [[instructions]] show the tabs in the correct place in robot mode (oddly enough, the instructions imply that the tabs peg in less well than they do in reality).
* ''Cybertron'' [[Ransack (Cybertron)|Ransack's]] rear wheel struts (the same error is repeated on every subsequent reuse of the sculpt except for [[BotCon 2006]]'s [[Rattrap]].)
*''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' [[Mini-Con]] [[Grindor (Classics)|Grindor]] is odd: His official stock photos depict the wheels with the pegs as the rear wheels and the wheels with the corresponding holes as the front wheels. The toy itself has the wheels swapped, which is backed up by his [[instructions]]. His redeco, ''Universe'' [[Bodyblock]], features the wheel assembly from Grindor's stock photos, which contradicts his own instructions (which are recycled from Grindor). Since neither wheel assembly affects his functionality or transformation in any way whatsoever, it's unclear which one is supposed to be the "correct" assembly and which one is the "misassembly".
*''[[Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe 2.0]]'' Mini-Con [[Makeshift (Universe)|Makeshift]]'s legs are swapped on the hips both on the actual toy and in official stock photos compared to his own instructions and the original iteration of the sculpt, ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' [[Oil Slick (Classics)|Oil Slick]]. This results in the crotch section facing the wrong way in robot mode, with his sole [[Powerlinx]] socket facing forward and the sculpted crotch details facing backwards. Not only does this location of the Powerlinx port in robot mode result in [[anatomic euphemism|unfortunate implications]], it also makes the socket inaccessible in vehicle mode. This applies to the [[Kmart]] [[exclusive]] Mini-Con 12-pack release of the toy; at least some samples of the individually packaged version available at discount store chains like Big Lots! were assembled correctly.
* ''Universe 2.0'''s [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Classic_Series|Prowl]]/[[Bluestreak (G1)#Classic_Series|Bluestreak]]/[[Smokescreen (G1)#Universe_.282008.29|Smokescreen]] [[mold]] has most sliding feet assemblies swapped. The balance is far better when the feet are swapped, allowing for a more leveled hood-chest and reducing the depressed look they commonly sport.
* ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Human Alliance]] [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee's]] legs were supposedly swapped because the extra transformation step (rotating the legs and waist) would have been too difficult for kids to do. Although [[prototype]] photos seen via [[TakaraTomy]] show the legs with the wheels in a more [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] setup, the official [[Hasbro]] stock photos and the [[instructions]] show the "misassembly" as the "correct" assembly, thus making this (arguably) an intentional [[design change]] rather than a genuine misassembly.
{{-}}

===Backwards parts===
* [[Classics (2006)|Classics]] Ultimate Battle [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron's]] feet.

===Nonfunctioning/compromised gimmick===
* The blue lever at the base of [[Transmetal 2]] [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s dragon-mode neck, which allows his neck to be moved around like a puppet, features a flip-down tab which is supposed to fit into a groove in the neck and lock it in its fully-extended position. The lever is attached backwards, however, and tab cannot meet groove, though this can be easily remedied by unscrewing the lever and reattaching in the proper orientation. This persisted with [[Cryotek (RID)|Cryotek]].
* [[Transmetal 2]] [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s neck posing gimmick is actually disabled from the gearbox being misassembled, reorienting the gears instead of the lever enables a classic dragon flight pose, and a straight arm for firing poses in robot mode.
* [[Runamuck (Cybertron)|Cybertron Runamuck]]'s punching gimmick.

===Transformation-inhibiting errors===

==Isolated incidents==
[[Image:BTAltProwlMisassemblies.jpg|thumb|180px|left|Just give me a call and we can swap parts...]]

Aside from these widespread misassemblies, there are also countless instances of isolated incidents where a single specimen of a toy, or at least very ''very'' low quantities, feature assembly errors. Chances are that every toy collector has encountered at least one of these over the years, and trying to compile a list is pretty much pointless considering their sheer ''variety'', as well as their (usually) low quantities.

A toy with an unusually large amount of reported errors, many of them of the really ''odd'' variety, was ''[[Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]'' [[Prowl (G1)/toys|Prowl]]: One specimen of the ''Binaltech'' version sported the "Type S" rims of his ''Alternators'' counterpart on both his front wheels (but the correct "Type R" rims on his rear wheels); one specimen of the blue ''Binaltech'' version had the wrong set of fingers on one hand, resulting in an articulated ''pinky finger'' instead of the index finger. The most commonly reported error, however, was of the toy sporting two of the same hand. This error was apparently ''so'' common that it even showed up in ''two different sets of [[stock photography|stock photos]]'' (which also featured two of the same forearms, and one of them even two of the same ''shoulders'')!

Reportedly, some specimens of ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Superion (ROTF)|Superion]] also came with a very unusual problem, where one of [[Silverbolt (ROTF)|Silverbolt's]] legs was assembled the wrong way (a widespread error, as noted above), but the other one was assembled ''correctly''.
{{-}}

==Solutions==
Many cases of misassembly can easily be fixed with the aid of a screwdriver and a modicum of judiciously applied pressure. Most Transformers include many parts that are held together with Phillips-head screws, which can generally be removed quite easily, allowing the misassembled pieces to be reversed, swapped out or otherwise re-aligned. Also, many toys from ''Beast Wars'' onwards feature [[Ball joint|ball joints]] or similar that can usually be popped free and easily reconfigured. Examples include ''Animated'' Blitzwing, whose left-right swapped upper arms can be easily popped out of his shoulders and unscrewed from his forearms and then reassembled.

However, sometimes the assembly process involves adhesives or metal rods, which makes certain parts virtually impossible to separate without serious risk of damaging the toy permanently. Also, toys involving electronic [[Gimmick|gimmicks]] can be particularly tricky to tinker with. All but those confident in their [[customizing]] skills should be wary of attempting such fixes.

Arguably, such fixes mean the toy is no longer in its "original" state, so extreme semanticists might argue that this counts as a form of customizing. But really, do we care?

In cases where individual specimens erroneously come with the wrong parts assembled (such as two of the same hand), there's the additional problem of finding someone who either has the same problem in reverse (i.e. two of the ''other'' hand) or a broken toy with the missing part intact (or at least someone selling a toy [[for parts]]). More often than not, however, you're better off returning the faulty toy to the store and getting a new one.

==Unusual cases==
In some cases, there is an evident problem where something doesn't quite work properly, but the [[stock photography]] and even elements of the [[deco]] would suggest that everything is in order. Although it is difficult to prove without official confirmation, cases like this may be due to a misassembly happening quite early in the design process, after the [[prototype]] phase but before finalising the deco, and thereafter being assumed to be correct at each subsequent stage of production.

[[Image:TitaniumHero UltraMagnus.jpg|right|210px|thumb|Nature... or nurture?]]
An example of this is the [[Titanium Series]] series [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]], whose shoulder-mounted rocket launchers appear to have been been flipped horizontally, as their pegs cause them to attach top-down in robot mode. Although it is ''possible'' that some kind of mirror-flip occurred in the moulding of the launchers, an arguably more likely explanation notes that if the shoulders are simply swapped out they can attach correctly, suggesting instead a case of <strong class="selflink">misassembly</strong>. However, the fact that the shoulders feature Autobot-sigil [[Tampograph|tampographs]] that would then be rendered visible only from the back would seem to argue against this, as does the packaging photography of the prototype. Conversely, the instructions depict the "correct" shoulder assembly as distinguished by showing frontwards the moulding detail that is backwards-facing on the toy as released.

Such a case ''could'' be an example of misassembly occurring very early in the process. The decision to "correct" the toy by swapping out the parts may make the accessories attach correctly, but at the cost of hiding some of the deco.

==Misassembly ''is not...''==
[[Image:Ultimate Bumblebee toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|I am not an animal! I AM A MECHY BEING!!]]
* Misassembly is not the same thing as toys which are incorrectly transformed in their packaging and/or [[stock photography|promotion photography]], such as "Ultimate" [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Movie Bumblebee]] and his non-collapsed chest.

* Misassembly is not the same thing as a [[design change]], where the way parts were clearly intended to move, align or otherwise function has been altered in a manner which partly or fully compromises its optimal function, such as [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]]'s wrists, [[Bumblebee (Animated)|''Animated'' Bumblebee]]'s stingers, or [[Ratchet (Movie)|''Movie'' Ratchet]]'s thumbs. These changes can sometimes appear to be oversights or mistakes, but are in fact often done [[for safety reasons]]. Occasionally these issues are corrected in later re-uses of the mould, such as with ''Animated'' Bumblebee.

* Misassembly is not the same thing as a [[design flaw]], where a toy has been produced with parts that do not function as they were clearly intended, but are not the result of a deliberate design change. Manufacturing errors can result from pieces being manufactured fractionally too small or large, or subtly not quite the right shape, resulting in parts that don't move as intended, such as ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]. Sometimes large numbers of units from a production run will have these problems while others from the same run will not, such as with [[Grimlock (Animated)|''Animated'' Grimlock]]'s partially-retracting leg/forearms.

Strafe (TF 2010)

2011-10-11T00:02:45Z

58.69.5.99: Undo revision 645745 by 41.212.10.246 (Talk) Unneeded

{{faction|autobot}}
{{disambig3|Strafe}}
:''Strafe is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toyline.]]''

[[Image:TF2010toy-Strafe.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Now in Peppermint!]]

While '''Strafe''' is usually a pretty nice guy, other Autobots tend to keep away from him, especially during battle. This is because he's ''way'' too easily startled, and when scared, responds by attacking everything around him until he burns himself out. Nothing is safe around Strafe, not even sizzling bacon, for any sound can set this Autobot off in a terribly violent way.

==Toys==
===''Transformers'' (2010)===
*'''Strafe''' (Voyager Class, 2011)

:A [[redeco]] of the ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager-class [[Mindwipe (ROTF)|Mindwipe]], Strafe transforms into a stealth fighter jet, similar to an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#F-117A Nighthawk|F-117 Nighthawk]]. He has two flip-out swords/daggers under his arms that he can deploy to use as weapons. As part of his transformation, bending his wings back in robot mode activates a Mech Alive gear-driven feature where the tips of the wings retract and four small blades reveal themselves along the edge of the wing. Strafe's paint app budget went into the very large Autobot [[insignia]] he wears across his wings, which is quite possibly the largest insignia ever on a [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'']] [[toy]]. Strafe is sold as part of "[[Reveal the Shield]]", a [[subline imprint]] featuring [[rubsign]]s on all its releases. Y'know, just in case his wings didn't make his faction clear enough.

:Strafe, like the other toys using the same mold, can be perched upon by [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]], [[Sunspot]], and the exclusive [[Smokescreen (G2)|Smokescreen]]. Except they're all Decepticons, so it would be terribly inappropriate fraternization.

:This mold was also redecoed as the Tokyo Toy Show [[exclusive]] ''Generation 2'' [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]].

==Notes==
*When Strafe's bio went up on the official website, it used the adjective [[Over-Run (PCC)|spastic]] to describe him. This was later changed to "twitchy." Hmmmm.

*Almost all non-toy-only characters under the [[Reveal the Shield]] subline (as a spiritual successor to [[Classics (2006)|Classics]]) have been G1 characters. Therefore, this Strafe may be [[Strafe (G1)|G1 Strafe]], but until he appears in fiction it's ambiguous.

Eons after the [[Dynasty of Primes]] were vanquished, Cybertron fell into dark times. The [[AllSpark]] had been buried somewhere within Cybertron and been dismissed as a legend, and the planet itself lacked a star to orbit. As energy became more and more scarce, Cybertronians segregated into tribes. Shockwave chose to rally behind [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]], who claimed to be descended from [[Primus]] himself. However, he faced opposition from the non-believer [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacons]], and Shockwave joined [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], and several others in repelling their attacks. Ultimately, Sentinel Prime won the day, as he and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] were successful in locating the lost AllSpark and harnessing a new sun to orbit. This, however, did not please Shockwave. Now that the war was over, he was dissatisfied, and he no longer knew his purpose. This shocked his old friend, Megatron, and Shockwave explained that it was the journey he enjoyed, not the destination. Plus, well, that new sun was kind of bright. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}}

The next day, Megatron detailed to Shockwave how he had eavesdropped on a conversation between Sentinel and Optimus, where Sentinel had tried to pass on leadership to Optimus, who refused, unable to accept he was also a Prime. At the outskirts of [[Thetacon (polity)|Thetacon]], they encountered a [[Driller]], a subterranean lifeform that had been brought to the planet's surface by the new energy flowing through it, which was attacking a group of [[Hatchling]]s and their protector [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Shockwave was amazed by the creature and called it "magnificent". After besting it, he joined the Cybertronian [[Defense Force]] that Sentinel placed under Megatron's command, rooting out dissident Transformers. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

After the war broke out he joined the Decepticons. As Starscream was asking what to do next minutes before the [[Nemesis (ROTF)|''Nemesis'']] went to space, Shockwave told him that they would obey Megatron's orders without any question. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} When the Autobots attacked [[Simfur Temple]], Shockwave attempted to apprehend [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]], but with no success. When Starscream blew up the [[Ark (DOTM)|ship]] carrying Sentinel and his [[pillar|secret weapon]], Shockwave ordered the annihilation of the retreating Autobots, but Megatron made him stand down, gleefully predicting Optimus would return with a vengeance. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Shockwave returned with Megatron to his [[Lord High Protector citadel|citadel]] during Optimus's revenge attack. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Shockwave asked Megatron if he could kill Optimus Prime and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] after they had been stuck by the [[smelting pool]], but Megatron was disappointed by Shockwave's lack of vision. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} Optimus got inside to fight Megatron, while Starscream and Shockwave attempted to kill their former comrade Ironhide. Suddenly, the skies darkened: the Autobots had attacked the citadel to distract the Decepticons from their true goal of stealing the AllSpark from the temple. Optimus blasted Starscream and Shockwave, and the two Autobots escaped. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

[[Image:RisingStorm2-ShockwaveAllSpark.jpg|thumb|250px|]] Some time later, after the Autobots sent the All Spark into space, Starscream left Shockwave in charge of the Decepticons still on Cybertron as he went in search of his prize. During a battle with a team of Autobots, Shockwave heard the scream of the AllSpark when it was found by [[Sector Seven]]. Leaving [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] in charge of the Decepticons on Cybertron, Shockwave set out in an impossibly fast ship, swearing not to return without the AllSpark. He crashed in Tunguska, [[Siberia]] in [[1908]].<ref>''Rising Storm'' issue 2 reveals that Shockwave caused the mysterious real-life [[wikipedia:Tunguska_event|Tunguska event.]]</ref> He remained buried there in [[stasis lock]], healing until [[Soviet Union|Soviet Russia]] found him ten years later. Using stolen research from the U.S., who had found Megatron the same way, the Russians reverse-engineered his technology to invent nuclear power plants. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} {{storylink|Frozen}}

There were no digital records of Shockwave's existence, and the physical documents pertaining to him were lost, burned, shredded or stolen in the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse. The Siberian facility was abandoned and Shockwave was left forgotten. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

While Starscream doesn't like or trust Shockwave, he respects his intelligence and, if he had to choose, would give the nod to Shockwave being his successor. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|#21's Star Screams}}

At some point during 2009, Shockwave was caught on film and the event was written up for a newspaper article. A newspaper page with the headline "Mysterious Robot Spotted" was discarded in [[Egypt]], where it was sucked up by a rampaging [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]. {{Storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

[[Image:RisingStorm_Shockwave_and_astrotrain.jpg|left|thumb|250px|"Astrotrain, go away. You're spoiling the G1 ambiance around me."]]
Soundwave discovered the satirical article and its photograph, and deduced it was based on stolen Soviet documents. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}} In [[2010]], Megatron freed Shockwave and brought him to his "base" in [[Namibia]], where he was eager to get back to killing Autobots as soon as possible. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

Shockwave and [[Astrotrain (DOTM)|Astrotrain]] made their presence known on Earth near [[Dalian]], [[China]], where they quickly disposed of the Autobots [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] and stole material for a mysterious construction project.

Shockwave began following the exploits of Earth's stranded Transformers from afar, and derided its war's combatants as idiots after watching a skirmish in [[California]]. After contacting Astrotrain for an update on their project, he tracked [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]]'s radiation trail back to Starscream's current base of operations, in a junkyard on the outskirts of [[Mexico City]]. Blasting his way through the Decepticons unwise enough to try defending Starscream, Shockwave informed the treacherous air commander that Megatron had "requested his services." Before the conversation could go any further, Astrotrain radioed Shockwave with some bad news: the "[[Brains|brain unit]]" scrap drone that held the control software for the machine he was constructing had escaped. Shockwave charged Starscream and his followers with recovering the drone. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

[[Image:Risingstorm_3_shockwave_on_NEST.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Shock blast!]]

Shockwave contacted an angry Starscream who thought he was promised the Autobots would be occupied. Shockwave countered that they were occupied, but, you know, with Starscream, leaving Shockwave free to leave a message for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] at the [[NEST]] Headquarters in [[Diego Garcia]]. After killing [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]], [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]], and other Autobots who stood in his way, Shockwave confronted the trembling humans left to fend for themselves. When Shockwave asked who was in command, [[Theodore Galloway]] told him that he was. Shockwave killed Galloway and the other humans save one, and he asked his question one more time. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

After killing [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]], he and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] left Diego Garcia, then he arrived in [[Philadelphia]] killing [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] in the process and shot down [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] and [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]]. Enraged by the death of Elita-One and the other Autobots. Optimus Prime battled Shockwave destroying half of his face and body, Prime was about to kill Shockwave, till Shockwave's [[Driller|"pet"]] came to save his master. the badly damaged Shockwave returned to Namibia along Starscream and Soundwave. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

[[Image:DOTM - ShockwaveDriller.jpg|left|thumb|300px|"We have worm sign."]]

Shockwave and his pet [[Driller]] attacked the Autobots when they were summoned to [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant|Chernobyl]] by the Decepticon agent [[Voskhod]]. This was done as an act of misdirection to ensure that the Autobots did not realize that the Decepticons actually wanted them to find the fuel cell from the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] located within the facility. After Optimus retrieved the fuel cell from the Driller, Shockwave emerged from it to reveal himself to Optimus, and the pair quickly retreated underground, leaving Optimus very disturbed to see Shockwave on Earth.

[[Image:DOTM-Shockwavecloseup.jpg|right|thumb|250px|"I see you"]]

Later, Shockwave took part in the invasion of Chicago. He and the Driller emerged from beneath the convoy of Autobots, and the Driller separated Optimus from his trailer. Shockwave left the Driller and proceeded to track down the Autobots. The [[Wrecker]]s were sent to distract him, peppering his armor with fire from their machineguns. He used a car as a shield and fired at them, and once they drove off he menacingly began to pursue them down the road, missing the two small Autobots, [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and [[Brains]], who quickly fled.

[[Image:830px-Dotm-shockwave&driller-film-chicago.jpg|left|thumb|250px|"Driller-bot is thirsty"]]
Later, he noticed humans inside a building, and sent his Driller into the fray to topple a building and kill [[Sam Witwicky]], [[Carly Spencer]], [[Robert Epps]], and the other humans inside. However the beast was killed by Optimus Prime using his flight gear, and Shockwave, enraged by the death of his pet, opened fire on the Autobot leader, briefly disabling him and taking him out of the fight.

[[Image:DOTM-OptimusShockwave.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Give me your eye! ... through your throat!]]

He soon joined [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] to round up the other Autobots. Brains and Wheelie forestalled the Decepticon's from further executing their prisoners by taking control of a Decepticon gunship, and dropping [[Orbital Assault Carrier|fighters]] onto the battlefield. Shockwave retreated further away with Barricade and some other Decepticons. However the human soldiers had set a trap, and while firing at them, Shockwave was blinded by one of their parachutes, and his eye was then shot out, causing it to dangle by its wires. Optimus Prime then came charging back into the battle, and when Shockwave fired at him the Autobot dodged the shot, donned a set of knuckle-spikes, and punched Shockwave so hard that part of his abdomen shattered. Even this did not put Shockwave down, but Prime did not let up - he punched Shockwave again, pinned the Decepticon down and tore his dangling eye out through his throat, finally ending the Decepticon's life. Optimus then used Shockwave's cannon to shoot out the control pillar set up in the city. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

[[Image:Tf2007console shockwave.jpg|left|200px|thumb|1% assorted Shockwave parts, 99% weapons.]]
Under the orders of Starscream, Shockwave attacked [[Tranquility]] in an effort to interfere with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s attempt to rescue [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] from [[Sector Seven]]. Prime actually had a grip on the helicopter net that held Bumblebee, but the force of Shockwave's entry mode's impact knocked him off, allowing Sector Seven to get away.

[[Image:Tf2007console shockwave turrent.jpg|200px|thumb|Death Cannon OF LOGIC!]]
Landing in downtown, the [[Triple Changer|triple-changing]] Shockwave adopted a helicopter and an artillery emplacement as his alternate modes, promptly transforming into the latter and lobbing explosives around the city. Prime, forced to cut off his rescue, charged in and pounded Shockwave until the goliath transformed and retreated to another position. Prime doggedly kept at Shockwave, following him every time he retreated, eventually defeating the Decepticon and saving Tranquility. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game (console)}}

Later, when the Autobots returned to Cybertron, Shockwave appeared on the planet alongside (and presumably leading) an army of Decepticon drones. Optimus quickly defeated the drones and once more defeated Shockwave.

{{note|Shockwave is not a playable character in the game, appearing only as a boss character during the Autobot campaign. He also appears (but does not transform) as one of the enemies battled in the Autobot campaign's bonus level set on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], but what this implies about Shocky is debatable at best, given the level's questionable in-game continuity.}}

===''Transformers: The Game'' (PSP)===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Daniel Riordan]]

[[Image:Shockwave movie psp.jpg|left|170px|thumb|He makes up for his loss of weapons by being the most awesome character in the game. It is only logical.]]

The massive Shockwave might ''look'' like he's purely about muscle and firepower, but he's actually remarkably shrewd and cunning. Coveting the position of Decepticon leader for himself, Shockwave has been working to oust Megatron for years. As you might imagine, he and Starscream don't get along very well.

When the Decepticons arrived on Earth in search of their lost leader, Megatron, Shockwave adopted a tank as his alternate mode. Shockwave was supposed to join [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] in his attack on the [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]], but instead busied himself surrepticiously searching for leads to the location of the [[AllSpark]]. After receiving a communique from [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]], who informed him that the Autobots were on Earth and had discovered their own leads to the location of Megatron, Shockwave had [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] airlift him to Qatar, where he helped Blackout take care of the last few military units opposing him. He relayed Frenzy's message to Blackout, then departed for the Arctic with Thundercracker, intending to investigate the site where Megatron's body was discovered.

In the Arctic, Shockwave and Thundercracker faced resistance from an Autobot unit in the area, but fought their way through them to discover that Megatron's body had been moved by [[Sector Seven]]. The trip was not a wasted one, however: after scanning a computer terminal in the cavern, Shockwave discovered that Megatron had brought an army of drones with him to Earth to help in the search for the All Spark. These drones were presently lying dormant all over the Earth, and Shockwave schemed to reactivate them so that they could serve him as his personal army. The signal required to reanimated the drones had to be broadcast from a great height, so Shockwave and Thundercracker quickly made their way to a rocket launch site, where Shockwave
programmed the code into a rocket that subsequently beamed the signal down over the Earth from space. Drones sprang to life all over the planet, and began attacking the Autobots. Shockwave's control of his
self-made army was short lived, however, as Autobots [[Trailbreaker (Movie)|Trailbreaker]] and [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] successfully transmitted a virus that shut the drones down. Simultaneously, Shockwave received another message from Frenzy that the he had discovered the location of Megatron, and that the Decepticon leader was about to reawaken.

After the Autobots defeated Megatron and most of the other Decepticons in battle in [[Center City]], Shockwave retreated back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], as did Starscream. Back on their homeworld, Shockwave and Starscream faced off for leadership of the Decepticons, with Starscream ultimately claiming victory. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (PSP)|Transformers The Game (PSP)}}

{{note|In contrast to the console version of the game, Shockwave ''is'' a playable character on the PSP.}}

===Autobot Stronghold===

Shockwave was used as the basis for an army of [[drone]] units, who were part of the constant attacks on the Autobot's [[LG]] Stronghold. For some reason, these drones had ''two'' Sparks. {{storylink|Autobot Stronghold}}

====(Xbox 360/PS3)====
[[Image:Dark of the Moon game Shockwave.jpg|thumb|300px|Shockwave on the warpath.]]
Shockwave was frozen underneath a Russian facility after crashing to Earth thousands of years ago. His leader [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] decided to find and release his assassin, since he was needed for the upcoming operation. Optimus discovered Shockwave and ordered Ratchet to activate more freeze tanks to keep him frozen. however the Driller woke from its slumber, and lashed out at the intruder. After thawing out, he decided to kill the first thing his optic lay eyes on: Optimus. However, he was still a bit woozy from waking up and taking action so quickly, so he tended to make a few hiccups in his attacks, before finally waking up. Autobot reinforcements weren't helping Optimus, as they were dispatched quite easily. During their skirmish, Optimus Prime (with a little help from [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]) deduced his weak spot as the three cylinder-shaped generators mounted on his back. Optimus Prime was then able to take down Shockwave with his jetpack/machinegun upgrades, until the Driller decided to intervene, and blocked off the shots while retreating with its master.

Shortly after that, he met up with Megatron, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] in Nambia, Africa and was ordered to find a device in a nuclear power plant named Chernobyl. Shockwave agreed and listened to Megatron gloat to the other Decepticons about Operation Pillar.

{{anchor|CyberverseActionSet}}
[[Image:DOTM Cyberverse Shockwave FusionTank.jpg|thumb|350px|right|It's a fusion of terror and more terror.]]
*'''Shockwave / Fusion Tank''' (Cyberverse Action Set, 2011)
**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''006'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV19'''
**''Accessories:'' Battle Cannon/Particle Wave Blaster, rubber hose, arm blade

: The [[Cyberverse]] Commander class Shockwave is cast in a lighter purple than his Voyager class figure. Like that larger toy, he transforms into a Cybertronian tank, and features a removable cannon, blade, and hose. He also has a back component that attaches to his vehicle to form a "Fusion Tank", and features a removable firing missile launcher. This component can transform into a "Ground Weapon" mode and a "Battle Base" mode. Both parts of the Fusion Tank include multiple ports for attaching Shockwave's accessories or other Cyberverse weapons.

: Despite what the promotional pictures and instructions show, the Battle Base mode seems more intended to point its missile launcher straight up. This allows the Shockwave figure to actually fit on the base and even insert the post on the base into his back. Said instructions refer to his back component's ground weapon mode as a tank as well.

: Shockwave's alternate mode has some rather annoying problems with the treads refusing to straighten out or peg onto his body and front "wheels" securely. As a result, combining him with the action set to form the "Fusion Tank" mode will result in the back treads becoming parallel with the rest of the tank... while the front treads split open and detach from the wheels.

: Like other action sets, Shockwave comes with a cardboard backdrop. In his case, it’s a scene of Chicago under attack. Oddly, the box bio mentions Shockwave's ability to drill through the ground with no mention of his [[Driller|friend]].

[[Image:DOTM_Shockwave_Voyager.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Observation: gun hose. Conclusion: awesome.]]
*'''Shockwave''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD05'''
**''Accessories:'' [[MechTech]] Battle Cannon/Particle Wave Blaster, rubber hose, arm blade

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Voyager Class [[MechTech]] toys, Shockwave transforms into a purple Cybertronian tank. He has a large, detachable MechTech Battle Cannon on his right arm with a rubber tube which connects to his back, and a removable blade on his left arm. When a lever is pushed on the rear of his arm cannon, MechTech gearing opens up the cannon wider with more barrels and blades. [[C joint]] rungs are located on Shockwave's arm-blade, one concealed underneath said blade, and two on his AstroMag cannon, two more on his backpack, and two more on his feet. Other MechTech weapons can peg into Shockwave's hands, on the barrel of his cannon, and behind each shoulder blade. Due to the nature of his MechTech weapon supposed to be integrated with his arm, it is not a prime candidate for swapping with other toys, due to the shape and color of the weapon.

: Shockwave's forearms seem to be backward, with the screws holding them together facing out; the backs of his forearms are smooth and screw-hole-free. Also indicating that his forearms may have been swapped is the fact that his arm blade, when put in its proper place on his tank mode, is clearly backward. The blade has an obvious back, its left side, marked with gaps; the mold detail on its right side is much cleaner. It's apparently meant to be displayed on the figure's right arm, with the clean side of the weapon facing outward. However, disassembling the figure's forearms and swapping them would change the cannon to the left, which shouldn't be done because: 1) it's movie-inaccurate, and 2) the gun hose is clearly meant to go to the right in robot mode, otherwise it will restrict articulation or keep falling off - though it should be mentioned that the peg hole where the hose attaches to the gun can be rotated 180 degrees, enabling the hose to be positioned on either side of the weapon. Also, the wrist is held together with a pin which can be tricky to remove. On the other hand, the extra barrels in the cannon do seem to be misassembled, as they feature the same problem as the arm blade.

: The instructions tell you to keep the cannon attached to his right arm in tank mode, though it is possible to stick it in between the arms. This is done by sliding the cannon's bottom in between Shockwave's thumbs. It is fairly stable, matches some stock photography and makes for a more coherent tank.

: Shockwave's stock photography depicts him in a much, much brighter and bluer purple while the MechTech lever on the cannon is bright red. Although partly cropped, his packaging photography on the box-front depicts an alternative placement of his gun hose in tank mode, plugging into the port on the side of his rear treads, which actually aligns better than the awkward frontal position depicted in the [[instructions]]; in the box-back, there is no gun hose, but since the picture is taken from a left profile, it could just be covered by the toy itself, reinforcing the alternate placement. The stock photography shown also depicts Shockwave's hands to be articulated at the wrists, as the right arm in the photo has the hand rotated 90 degrees from the position actually possible with the figure. Also many more paint applications are present in the stock photography, not limited to the red lever on the cannon, but vents on the vehicle mode are picked out in silver as well as gold details on the hips and both halves of tread on each side of the body being painted silver. Overall, the colour scheme shown on the box photography is completely different from the actual figure within, with the stock photo's silver replaced with a metallic lilac on the hands, feet spikes and knees.

*'''Optimus Prime vs. Shockwave''' (MechTech Voyager 2-pack, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' [[MechTech]] Battle Cannon/Particle Wave Blaster, rubber hose, arm blade

: Advertised as "'''SHOCKWAVE with CYBER METAL Armour'''" on the sticker, this [[Costco]]-[[exclusive]] two-pack contains a redeco of Shockwave along with an unchanged ''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Voyager_Class_toys_4|Optimus Prime]]. He has been redecoed to mostly resemble the darker-colored figure shown in stock photos of the previous toy, with his dark purple changed to a dark blue and gray replacing the lilac, with the grays being darker in general. His ribs and his treads are also painted in a much brighter silver. His MechTech weapon has also been redecoed, with the purple parts being brighter and cast in translucent plastic.

==Notes==
* [[Transformers The Game (console)|''Transformers: The Game'']] Shockwave was designed by artist [[Ken Christiansen]].
*The "Attack Copter", "Recon Chopper" and "Stealth Chopper" [[Create-A-Bot (Autobot)|Create-]][[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|A-Bot]] vehicle modes from the [[Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Nintendo DS video games]] transform into robot modes bearing some resemblance to Shockwave. The Attack Chopper is the only one that can be customized to appear purple, though.
*The photo on the newspaper article in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' is of [[:Image:Shockwaveministatue.jpg|Palisades's statue]] of [[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1 Shockwave]], with something digitally added in the foreground.
*Shockwave was heavily touted as the new main villain prior to the release of ''Dark of the Moon'', no doubt in an attempt to conceal [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]'s unexpected betrayal halfway through the movie. A piece of information that commonly popped up in media coverage was the claim that Shockwave was the ruler of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] while the other Autobots and Decepticons were duking it out on Earth.<ref name="pushpops">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-just-movie-31/transformers-3-plot-summary-revealed-170756/ "Transformers 3 Plot Summary Revealed"], TFW2005, October 2010.</ref> The last bit could be written off as a case of [[Wikipedia:Chinese whispers|chinese whisper]]: Shockwave got announced as the villain for ''Dark of the Moon'', mainstream media (such as USA Today<ref name="usatodayswitch">[http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2010-06-11-Transformers11_ST_N.htm "Next 'Transformers' is due for a switch"], USA Today, June 2010.</ref>) who aren't versed in Transformers lore looked up the character, found out about his ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Shockwave (G1)|namesake]]'s role in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon]], included it as a piece of trivia to show they did their research, and then the trivia note got picked up as gospel by other media. Nevertheless, it was included in the ''official plot summary'' by Paramount's German branch (which also claimed that ''Shockwave'' was the robot discovered inside the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'' as seen in the trailer).<ref name="germansite">[http://www.transformers3-film.de/ Official German DOTM site] including faulty plot summary.</ref>
*Despite being one of the most highly anticipated characters in the film, Shockwave has very minimal screentime. His only understandable line in the film is at Chernobyl: "Optimus," and seems more like a drone than Megatron's greatest assassin. In the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|comic adaptation]], which was based on early drafts of the script, Shockwave had more lines during the Chicago battle.
*Shockwave does not have the same form in IDW's ''[[Transformers: Rising Storm]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Foundation|Foundation]]'' that he does in ''Dark of the Moon'' despite both being Cybertronian forms. His form in the comics is less skeletal in robot mode than his appearance in the film, and he also transforms into a Cybertronian jet, much like [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s original body, whereas his film design transforms into some form of Cybertronian tank. (Following the leader, maybe?) [[John Barber]] commented on his Twitter account that he isn't sure why Shockwave's appearance is different from that in the film, but that an explanation will be given in issue 4 of ''Rising Storm''. <ref>http://twitter.com/#!/TheJohnBarber/status/60710221739339776</ref> While the issue doesn't explicitly show how he gets his ''Dark of the Moon'' body, Shockwave is indeed badly damaged by Optimus Prime. Possibly because of this extensive reconstruction, Shockwave doesn't transform in the film (or the video game prequel before it, which displayed him with his current body instead of the old, G1-esque one).
*[[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1 Shockwave]]'s original voice actor, [[Corey Burton]], expressed that he had no interest in voicing him for ''Dark of the Moon'', explaining "[I] have practically no interest in that kind of mega-budget movie enterprise involvement" and that the inspiration for his Shockwave voice, [[wikipedia:David Warner (actor)|David Warner]], was rumored to have been considered.<ref>[http://www.coreyburton.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=2707&highlight=#2707 Corey Burton's message board post.]</ref> In the end, Shockwave's almost-entirely-wordless-snarl-based role would have been something of a waste of Warner; the role ultimately went to Frank Welker. There's a nice touch of symmetry in the casting, with Welker taking over a Burton-originated role not long after Burton took on a Welker-originated character in [[Megatron (Animated)|''Animated'' Megatron]].
*Hasbro's online bio for Shockwave claims he had spent decades trapped under Chernobyl, but this was not reflected in any actual media; both the video game and ''Rising Storm'' comics have him held at a Russian facility from which he is freed shortly before the film's events, and the film itself doesn't give any indication that his appearance at Chernobyl in its opening scenes is an "escape" of any kind.
[[Image:ShockwaveBoxartFace.jpg|thumb|150px|right|"Logically, I must gnaw your head off."]]
*Bucking tradition, this Shockwave has a mouth. Sure, it's more like a horrifying maw of teeth, but it's there.
*Shockwave's AstroMag cannon is a reference to [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Notes|the original Shockwave's]] toy mold being first released by ToyCo as the "[http://www.robot-japan.com/Gallery/Takara/Transformers/G1/AstroMagnum/Toybox-Astro-Magnum.asp 4 Changeable Astro Magnum]".
*Select [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] stores in the US had a promotion for a Shockwave poster with the purchase of any [[Transformers brand]] [[toy]] from [[June 5]], 2011 to [[June 11]], 2011.
*Although Shockwave's toy transforms into a Cybertronian tank, this alternate mode is never seen in the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|live-action movie]] nor the video game.
*While Shockwave's weapon of choice is described as a particle or laser cannon in most related Dark of the Moon media, it appears to be some variety of cluster missile launcher in the movie proper.
*Early artwork for Shockwave for ''Dark of the Moon'' showed '''Blitzwing''' as a working name for the character.<ref name="nizzi">[http://www.joshnizzi.com/TF3.htm Josh Nizzi DOTM concepts.]</ref>
*Shockwave appears to have the ability of flight in his robot mode.

Gang-molding

2011-10-10T06:23:03Z

58.69.5.99: /* Notable examples of gang-molding */

[[Image:G2GoBots-gangmolding.jpg|right|400px|thumb|Three sets of the same gang-molded toys. The smoky-clear parts in the bottom row are all lavender in the middle row, and all black in the top row. See the pattern of consistent plastic-color changes from row to row across all the toys in each set? This is gang-molding in action. Take note that the rightmost column uses paint applications to drastically change the car panel colors, but the plastic below still conforms to the pattern. (Not shown: The eighty-six other versions of these molds.)]]
'''Gang-molding''' is the practice of using the same plastic mold to simultaneously manufacture different parts for different toys.

Multiple large [[Toy|''Transformers'' toys]] are not typically gang-molded; the procedure is normally used either for a single large toy and a smaller one that is associated with it, such as a [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster and its head component]] or a [[Bulk]] and its partner Mini-Con, or for several smaller toys, such as a [[Mini-Con]] team. Sometimes gang-molded toys are sold together, as in these cases, but there have been instances of toys that were sold separately having parts from the same molds, such as the [[Axelerator]]s [[Skram (G2)|Skram]] and [[Windbreaker]], or either set of [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]] molds.

In most cases, producing one of several toys that are gang-molded together will automatically result in some or all of the parts for the other toys being produced as well. This is why all the toys in certain types of groups tend to get [[redeco]]ed at about the same time — making a toy from ''[[Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Firebot (Armada)|Firebot]]'s mold, such as [[Anti-Blaze]], will also create similarly colored versions of [[Makeshift (Armada)|Makeshift]] and [[Prowl (Armada)|Prowl]] (in Anti-Blaze's case, [[Scythe]] and [[Checkpoint (Cybertron)|Checkpoint]] respectively).

Not all toys that are packaged together are gang-molded. The three members of the [[Clear Skies Team|Clear Skies Mini-Con Team]], for example, are molded independently of each other.

In some rare instances, when Hasbro and Takara plan a [[retool]] of a toy even before starting production of the original version, they may also cast the original parts and the new parts from the same mold. The unused parts will then be dumped or recycled. One of the best known examples of this procedure is ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Scrapmetal (race)|Scrapmetal]], whose head was produced on the same sprue as the [[Cobybot|Coby Sen'yō Rumble]] head, even though the latter was originally only used by Takara.

== Notable examples of gang-molding ==
*The ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] and their [[Nebulan]] partners
*The ''Generation 1'' Double [[Targetmaster]]s' Nebulan partners/guns (gang-molded in groups of three, one from each toy per faction)
*The ''Generation 1'' [[Pretender]] Beasts' inner robots (gang-molded in pairs, per faction)
*The ''Generation 1'' Small Pretenders figures' inner robots (gang-molded in groups of three, per faction)
*The ''Generation 1'' [[Pretender Monster|Pretender Monsters']] inner robots (gang-molded across the whole group of six)
*The ''Generation 1'' [[Micromaster]] patrols (gang-molded in pairs, two sets per patrol of four)
*Each of the ''Generation 1'' [[Micromaster Transport]]s (Micromaster figures and their respective trailers)
*The ''Generation 1'' [[Micromaster Combiner]] Squads (gang-molded in groups of six, the whole squad)
*All the ''Generation 1'' [[Action Master]] figures with the exception of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] (gang-molded in pairs, including those that came with vehicles) and the single pack Action Masters' weapons and accessories/partners (gang-molded in groups of six, including the six European market exclusives)
*''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Rotor Force]] (gang-molded in pairs)
*The original six ''Generation 2'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]] (gang-molded across the whole group of six)
*The originally unreleased second batch of ''Generation 2'' Go-Bots (gang-molded across the whole group of six. Some of these molds [[mold]]s were damaged, meaning that two of the toys were unusable when the other four were eventually released in ''[[Robots in Disguise (toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'')
*The ''Generation 2'' [[Axelerator]]s and [[Skyscorcher]]s (gang-molded in pairs)
*The ''[[Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'', ''[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' and ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Mini-Con]] teams (gang-molded in groups of three, the whole team)
*The ''Armada'' [[bulk]]s and their respective Mini-Con partners
*''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Scrapmetal (race)|Scrapmetal]]'s head and the [[Cobybot|Coby Sen'yō Rumble]] head.
*The ''[[Power Core Combiners]]'' [[Commander (PCC)|Commander]]s and their Mini-Con partners

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)

{{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.

:''Shockwave is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[live-action film series|live-action movie]] [[Continuity family|continuity family]].''

[[Image:ShockwaveDOTMgamepromo.jpg|right|thumb|400px|[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s most bewildering foe: the faceless!]]

'''Shockwave''' was left to watch [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] long ago, arriving on Earth to hunt for the [[AllSpark]] shortly after Megatron. A peerless scientist with deadly efficiency and a cold devotion to logic, he is one of the very few who could rival Megatron. Shockwave is ready and willing to destroy the Autobots with his arm-mounted AstroMag Cannon.

{{bigquote|Emotionless, coldly logical, utterly ruthless... killing is all Shockwave lives for.|[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]|[[Dark of the Moon issue 1|''Dark of the Moon'' #1]]}}

==Fiction==
===IDW live-action film prequel comics===
[[Image:Foundation1-Shockwavedoesntlikeit.jpg|left|thumb|250px|"'''Your star burns!''' I require frozen treats."]]
Eons after the [[Dynasty of Primes]] were vanquished, Cybertron fell into dark times. The [[AllSpark]] had been buried somewhere within Cybertron and been dismissed as a legend, and the planet itself lacked a star to orbit. As energy became more and more scarce, Cybertronians segregated into tribes. Shockwave chose to rally behind [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]], who claimed to be descended from [[Primus]] himself. However, he faced opposition from the non-believer [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacons]], and Shockwave joined [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], and several others in repelling their attacks. Ultimately, Sentinel Prime won the day, as he and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] were successful in locating the lost AllSpark and harnessing a new sun to orbit. This, however, did not please Shockwave. Now that the war was over, he was dissatisfied, and he no longer knew his purpose. This shocked his old friend, Megatron, and Shockwave explained that it was the journey he enjoyed, not the destination. Plus, well, that new sun was kind of bright. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}}

The next day, Megatron detailed to Shockwave how he had eavesdropped on a conversation between Sentinel and Optimus, where Sentinel had tried to pass on leadership to Optimus, who refused, unable to accept he was also a Prime. At the outskirts of [[Thetacon (polity)|Thetacon]], they encountered a [[Driller]], a subterranean lifeform that had been brought to the planet's surface by the new energy flowing through it, which was attacking a group of [[Hatchling]]s and their protector [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Shockwave was amazed by the creature and called it "magnificent". After besting it, he joined the Cybertronian [[Defense Force]] that Sentinel placed under Megatron's command, rooting out dissident Transformers. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

After the war broke out he joined the Decepticons. As Starscream was asking what to do next minutes before the [[Nemesis (ROTF)|''Nemesis'']] went to space, Shockwave told him that they would obey Megatron's orders without any question. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} When the Autobots attacked [[Simfur Temple]], Shockwave attempted to apprehend [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]], but with no success. When Starscream blew up the [[Ark (DOTM)|ship]] carrying Sentinel and his [[pillar|secret weapon]], Shockwave ordered the annihilation of the retreating Autobots, but Megatron made him stand down, gleefully predicting Optimus would return with a vengeance. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Shockwave returned with Megatron to his [[Lord High Protector citadel|citadel]] during Optimus's revenge attack. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Shockwave asked Megatron if he could kill Optimus Prime and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] after they had been stuck by the [[smelting pool]], but Megatron was disappointed by Shockwave's lack of vision. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} Optimus got inside to fight Megatron, while Starscream and Shockwave attempted to kill their former comrade Ironhide. Suddenly, the skies darkened: the Autobots had attacked the citadel to distract the Decepticons from their true goal of stealing the AllSpark from the temple. Optimus blasted Starscream and Shockwave, and the two Autobots escaped. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

[[Image:RisingStorm2-ShockwaveAllSpark.jpg|thumb|250px|]] Some time later, after the Autobots sent the All Spark into space, Starscream left Shockwave in charge of the Decepticons still on Cybertron as he went in search of his prize. During a battle with a team of Autobots, Shockwave heard the scream of the AllSpark when it was found by [[Sector Seven]]. Leaving [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] in charge of the Decepticons on Cybertron, Shockwave set out in an impossibly fast ship, swearing not to return without the AllSpark. He crashed in Tunguska, [[Siberia]] in [[1908]].<ref>''Rising Storm'' issue 2 reveals that Shockwave caused the mysterious real-life [[wikipedia:Tunguska_event|Tunguska event.]]</ref> He remained buried there in [[stasis lock]], healing until [[Soviet Union|Soviet Russia]] found him ten years later. Using stolen research from the U.S., who had found Megatron the same way, the Russians reverse-engineered his technology to invent nuclear power plants. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} {{storylink|Frozen}}

There were no digital records of Shockwave's existence, and the physical documents pertaining to him were lost, burned, shredded or stolen in the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse. The Siberian facility was abandoned and Shockwave was left forgotten. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

===Titan Magazines===
While Starscream doesn't like or trust Shockwave, he respects his intelligence and, if he had to choose, would give the nod to Shockwave being his successor. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|#21's Star Screams}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' film===
[[Image:Shockwave-ROTFnewspaper.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Quick, add him to the character list!]]
At some point during 2009, Shockwave was caught on film and the event was written up for a newspaper article. A newspaper page with the headline "Mysterious Robot Spotted" was discarded in [[Egypt]], where it was sucked up by a rampaging [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]. {{Storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

===IDW ''Dark of the Moon'' comics===
[[Image:RisingStorm_Shockwave_and_astrotrain.jpg|left|thumb|250px|"Astrotrain, go away. You're spoiling the G1 ambiance around me."]]
Soundwave discovered the satirical article and its photograph, and deduced it was based on stolen Soviet documents. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}} In [[2010]], Megatron freed Shockwave and brought him to his "base" in [[Namibia]], where he was eager to get back to killing Autobots as soon as possible. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

Shockwave and [[Astrotrain (DOTM)|Astrotrain]] made their presence known on Earth near [[Dalian]], [[China]], where they quickly disposed of the Autobots [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] and stole material for a mysterious construction project.

Shockwave began following the exploits of Earth's stranded Transformers from afar, and derided its war's combatants as idiots after watching a skirmish in [[California]]. After contacting Astrotrain for an update on their project, he tracked [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]]'s radiation trail back to Starscream's current base of operations, in a junkyard on the outskirts of [[Mexico City]]. Blasting his way through the Decepticons unwise enough to try defending Starscream, Shockwave informed the treacherous air commander that Megatron had "requested his services." Before the conversation could go any further, Astrotrain radioed Shockwave with some bad news: the "[[Brains|brain unit]]" scrap drone that held the control software for the machine he was constructing had escaped. Shockwave charged Starscream and his followers with recovering the drone. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

[[Image:Risingstorm_3_shockwave_on_NEST.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Shock blast!]]

Shockwave contacted an angry Starscream who thought he was promised the Autobots would be occupied. Shockwave countered that they were occupied, but, you know, with Starscream, leaving Shockwave free to leave a message for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] at the [[NEST]] Headquarters in [[Diego Garcia]]. After killing [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]], [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]], and other Autobots who stood in his way, Shockwave confronted the trembling humans left to fend for themselves. When Shockwave asked who was in command, [[Theodore Galloway]] told him that he was. Shockwave killed Galloway and the other humans save one, and he asked his question one more time. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

After killing [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]], he and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] left Diego Garcia, then he arrived in [[Philadelphia]] killing [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] in the process and shot down [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] and [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]]. Enraged by the death of Elita-One and the other Autobots. Optimus Prime battled Shockwave destroying half of his face and body, Prime was about to kill Shockwave, till Shockwave's [[Driller|"pet"]] came to save his master. the badly damaged Shockwave returned to Namibia along Starscream and Soundwave. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

===''Dark of the Moon'' film===
:''Voice actor'': [[Frank Welker]] (English), [[Jiro Saito]] (Japanese), [[Miguel Ángel Ghigliazza]] (Latin American Spanish)

[[Image:DOTM - ShockwaveDriller.jpg|left|thumb|300px|"We have worm sign."]]

Shockwave and his pet [[Driller]] attacked the Autobots when they were summoned to [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant|Chernobyl]] by the Decepticon agent [[Voskhod]]. This was done as an act of misdirection to ensure that the Autobots did not realize that the Decepticons actually wanted them to find the fuel cell from the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] located within the facility. After Optimus retrieved the fuel cell from the Driller, Shockwave emerged from it to reveal himself to Optimus, and the pair quickly retreated underground, leaving Optimus very disturbed to see Shockwave on Earth.

[[Image:DOTM-Shockwavecloseup.jpg|right|thumb|250px|"I see you"]]

Later, Shockwave took part in the invasion of Chicago. He and the Driller emerged from beneath the convoy of Autobots, and the Driller separated Optimus from his trailer. Shockwave left the Driller and proceeded to track down the Autobots. The [[Wrecker]]s were sent to distract him, peppering his armor with fire from their machineguns. He used a car as a shield and fired at them, and once they drove off he menacingly began to pursue them down the road, missing the two small Autobots, [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and [[Brains]], who quickly fled.

[[Image:830px-Dotm-shockwave&driller-film-chicago.jpg|left|thumb|250px|"Driller-bot is thirsty"]]
Later, he noticed humans inside a building, and sent his Driller into the fray to topple a building and kill [[Sam Witwicky]], [[Carly Spencer]], [[Robert Epps]], and the other humans inside. However the beast was killed by Optimus Prime using his flight gear, and Shockwave, enraged by the death of his pet, opened fire on the Autobot leader, briefly disabling him and taking him out of the fight.

[[Image:DOTM-OptimusShockwave.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Give me your eye! ... through your throat!]]

He soon joined [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] to round up the other Autobots. Brains and Wheelie forestalled the Decepticon's from further executing their prisoners by taking control of a Decepticon gunship, and dropping [[Orbital Assault Carrier|fighters]] onto the battlefield. Shockwave retreated further away with Barricade and some other Decepticons. However the human soldiers had set a trap, and while firing at them, Shockwave was blinded by one of their parachutes, and his eye was then shot out, causing it to dangle by its wires. Optimus Prime then came charging back into the battle, and when Shockwave fired at him the Autobot dodged the shot, donned a set of knuckle-spikes, and punched Shockwave so hard that part of his abdomen shattered. Even this did not put Shockwave down, but Prime did not let up - he punched Shockwave again, pinned the Decepticon down and tore his dangling eye out through his throat, finally ending the Decepticon's life. Optimus then used Shockwave's cannon to shoot out the control pillar set up in the city. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

[[Image:Tf2007console shockwave.jpg|left|200px|thumb|1% assorted Shockwave parts, 99% weapons.]]
Under the orders of Starscream, Shockwave attacked [[Tranquility]] in an effort to interfere with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s attempt to rescue [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] from [[Sector Seven]]. Prime actually had a grip on the helicopter net that held Bumblebee, but the force of Shockwave's entry mode's impact knocked him off, allowing Sector Seven to get away.

[[Image:Tf2007console shockwave turrent.jpg|200px|thumb|Death Cannon OF LOGIC!]]
Landing in downtown, the [[Triple Changer|triple-changing]] Shockwave adopted a helicopter and an artillery emplacement as his alternate modes, promptly transforming into the latter and lobbing explosives around the city. Prime, forced to cut off his rescue, charged in and pounded Shockwave until the goliath transformed and retreated to another position. Prime doggedly kept at Shockwave, following him every time he retreated, eventually defeating the Decepticon and saving Tranquility. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game (console)}}

Later, when the Autobots returned to Cybertron, Shockwave appeared on the planet alongside (and presumably leading) an army of Decepticon drones. Optimus quickly defeated the drones and once more defeated Shockwave.

{{note|Shockwave is not a playable character in the game, appearing only as a boss character during the Autobot campaign. He also appears (but does not transform) as one of the enemies battled in the Autobot campaign's bonus level set on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], but what this implies about Shocky is debatable at best, given the level's questionable in-game continuity.}}

===''Transformers: The Game'' (PSP)===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Daniel Riordan]]

[[Image:Shockwave movie psp.jpg|left|170px|thumb|He makes up for his loss of weapons by being the most awesome character in the game. It is only logical.]]

The massive Shockwave might ''look'' like he's purely about muscle and firepower, but he's actually remarkably shrewd and cunning. Coveting the position of Decepticon leader for himself, Shockwave has been working to oust Megatron for years. As you might imagine, he and Starscream don't get along very well.

When the Decepticons arrived on Earth in search of their lost leader, Megatron, Shockwave adopted a tank as his alternate mode. Shockwave was supposed to join [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] in his attack on the [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]], but instead busied himself surrepticiously searching for leads to the location of the [[AllSpark]]. After receiving a communique from [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]], who informed him that the Autobots were on Earth and had discovered their own leads to the location of Megatron, Shockwave had [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] airlift him to Qatar, where he helped Blackout take care of the last few military units opposing him. He relayed Frenzy's message to Blackout, then departed for the Arctic with Thundercracker, intending to investigate the site where Megatron's body was discovered.

In the Arctic, Shockwave and Thundercracker faced resistance from an Autobot unit in the area, but fought their way through them to discover that Megatron's body had been moved by [[Sector Seven]]. The trip was not a wasted one, however: after scanning a computer terminal in the cavern, Shockwave discovered that Megatron had brought an army of drones with him to Earth to help in the search for the All Spark. These drones were presently lying dormant all over the Earth, and Shockwave schemed to reactivate them so that they could serve him as his personal army. The signal required to reanimated the drones had to be broadcast from a great height, so Shockwave and Thundercracker quickly made their way to a rocket launch site, where Shockwave
programmed the code into a rocket that subsequently beamed the signal down over the Earth from space. Drones sprang to life all over the planet, and began attacking the Autobots. Shockwave's control of his
self-made army was short lived, however, as Autobots [[Trailbreaker (Movie)|Trailbreaker]] and [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] successfully transmitted a virus that shut the drones down. Simultaneously, Shockwave received another message from Frenzy that the he had discovered the location of Megatron, and that the Decepticon leader was about to reawaken.

After the Autobots defeated Megatron and most of the other Decepticons in battle in [[Center City]], Shockwave retreated back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], as did Starscream. Back on their homeworld, Shockwave and Starscream faced off for leadership of the Decepticons, with Starscream ultimately claiming victory. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (PSP)|Transformers The Game (PSP)}}

{{note|In contrast to the console version of the game, Shockwave ''is'' a playable character on the PSP.}}

===Autobot Stronghold===

Shockwave was used as the basis for an army of [[drone]] units, who were part of the constant attacks on the Autobot's [[LG]] Stronghold. For some reason, these drones had ''two'' Sparks. {{storylink|Autobot Stronghold}}

===''Transformers: Dark of the Moon - The Game''===
====(Xbox 360/PS3)====
[[Image:Dark of the Moon game Shockwave.jpg|thumb|300px|Shockwave on the warpath.]]
Shockwave was frozen underneath a Russian facility after crashing to Earth thousands of years ago. His leader [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] decided to find and release his assassin, since he was needed for the upcoming operation. Optimus discovered Shockwave and asked Ratchet activate more freeze tanks to keep him frozen. however the Driller woke from its slumber, and lashed out at the intruder. After thawing out, he decided to kill the first thing his optic lay eyes on: Optimus. However, he was still a bit woozy from waking up and taking action so quickly, so he tended to make a few hiccups in his attacks, before finally waking up. Autobot reinforcements weren't helping Optimus, as they were dispatched quite easily. During their skirmish, Optimus Prime (with a little help from [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]) deduced his weak spot as the three cylinder-shaped generators mounted on his back. Optimus Prime was then able to take down Shockwave with his jetpack/machinegun upgrades, until the Driller decided to intervene, and blocked off the shots while retreating with its master.

Shortly after that, he met up with Megatron, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] in Nambia, Africa and was ordered to find a device in a nuclear power plant named Chernobyl. Shockwave agreed and listened to Megatron gloat to the other Decepticons about Operation Pillar.

[[Image:DOTM Cyberverse Shockwave FusionTank.jpg|thumb|350px|right|It's a fusion of terror and more terror.]]
*'''Shockwave / Fusion Tank''' (Cyberverse Action Set, 2011)
**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''006'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV19'''
**''Accessories:'' Battle Cannon/Particle Wave Blaster, rubber hose, arm blade

: The [[Cyberverse]] Commander class Shockwave is cast in a lighter purple than his Voyager class figure. Like that larger toy, he transforms into a Cybertronian tank, and features a removable cannon, blade, and hose. He also has a back component that attaches to his vehicle to form a "Fusion Tank", and features a removable firing missile launcher. This component can transform into a "Ground Weapon" mode and a "Battle Base" mode. Both parts of the Fusion Tank include multiple ports for attaching Shockwave's accessories or other Cyberverse weapons.

: Despite what the promotional pictures and instructions show, the Battle Base mode seems more intended to point its missile launcher straight up. This allows the Shockwave figure to actually fit on the base and even insert the post on the base into his back. Said instructions refer to his back component's ground weapon mode as a tank as well.

: Shockwave's alternate mode has some rather annoying problems with the treads refusing to straighten out or peg onto his body and front "wheels" securely. As a result, combining him with the action set to form the "Fusion Tank" mode will result in the back treads becoming parallel with the rest of the tank... while the front treads split open and detach from the wheels.

: Like other action sets, Shockwave comes with a cardboard backdrop. In his case, it’s a scene of Chicago under attack. Oddly, the box bio mentions Shockwave's ability to drill through the ground with no mention of his [[Driller|friend]].

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:DOTM_Shockwave_Voyager.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Observation: gun hose. Conclusion: awesome.]]
*'''Shockwave''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD05'''
**''Accessories:'' [[MechTech]] Battle Cannon/Particle Wave Blaster, rubber hose, arm blade

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Voyager Class [[MechTech]] toys, Shockwave transforms into a purple Cybertronian tank. He has a large, detachable MechTech Battle Cannon on his right arm with a rubber tube which connects to his back, and a removable blade on his left arm. When a lever is pushed on the rear of his arm cannon, MechTech gearing opens up the cannon wider with more barrels and blades. [[C joint]] rungs are located on Shockwave's arm-blade, one concealed underneath said blade, and two on his AstroMag cannon, two more on his backpack, and two more on his feet. Other MechTech weapons can peg into Shockwave's hands, on the barrel of his cannon, and behind each shoulder blade. Due to the nature of his MechTech weapon supposed to be integrated with his arm, it is not a prime candidate for swapping with other toys, due to the shape and color of the weapon.

: Shockwave's forearms seem to be backward, with the screws holding them together facing out; the backs of his forearms are smooth and screw-hole-free. Also indicating that his forearms may have been swapped is the fact that his arm blade, when put in its proper place on his tank mode, is clearly backward. The blade has an obvious back, its left side, marked with gaps; the mold detail on its right side is much cleaner. It's apparently meant to be displayed on the figure's right arm, with the clean side of the weapon facing outward. However, disassembling the figure's forearms and swapping them would change the cannon to the left, which shouldn't be done because: 1) it's movie-inaccurate, and 2) the gun hose is clearly meant to go to the right in robot mode, otherwise it will restrict articulation or keep falling off - though it should be mentioned that the peg hole where the hose attaches to the gun can be rotated 180 degrees, enabling the hose to be positioned on either side of the weapon. Also, the wrist is held together with a pin which can be tricky to remove. On the other hand, the extra barrels in the cannon do seem to be misassembled, as they feature the same problem as the arm blade.

: The instructions tell you to keep the cannon attached to his right arm in tank mode, though it is possible to stick it in between the arms. This is done by sliding the cannon's bottom in between Shockwave's thumbs. It is fairly stable, matches some stock photography and makes for a more coherent tank.

: Shockwave's stock photography depicts him in a much, much brighter and bluer purple while the MechTech lever on the cannon is bright red. Although partly cropped, his packaging photography on the box-front depicts an alternative placement of his gun hose in tank mode, plugging into the port on the side of his rear treads, which actually aligns better than the awkward frontal position depicted in the [[instructions]]; in the box-back, there is no gun hose, but since the picture is taken from a left profile, it could just be covered by the toy itself, reinforcing the alternate placement. The stock photography shown also depicts Shockwave's hands to be articulated at the wrists, as the right arm in the photo has the hand rotated 90 degrees from the position actually possible with the figure. Also many more paint applications are present in the stock photography, not limited to the red lever on the cannon, but vents on the vehicle mode are picked out in silver as well as gold details on the hips and both halves of tread on each side of the body being painted silver. Overall, the colour scheme shown on the box photography is completely different from the actual figure within, with the stock photo's silver replaced with a metallic lilac on the hands, feet spikes and knees.

*'''Optimus Prime vs. Shockwave''' (MechTech Voyager 2-pack, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' [[MechTech]] Battle Cannon/Particle Wave Blaster, rubber hose, arm blade

: Advertised as "'''SHOCKWAVE with CYBER METAL Armour'''" on the sticker, this [[Costco]]-[[exclusive]] two-pack contains a redeco of Shockwave along with an unchanged ''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Voyager_Class_toys_4|Optimus Prime]]. He has been redecoed to mostly resemble the darker-colored figure shown in stock photos of the previous toy, with his dark purple changed to a dark blue and gray replacing the lilac, with the grays being darker in general. His ribs and his treads are also painted in a much brighter silver. His MechTech weapon has also been redecoed, with the purple parts being brighter and cast in translucent plastic.

==Notes==
* [[Transformers The Game (console)|''Transformers: The Game'']] Shockwave was designed by artist [[Ken Christiansen]].
*The "Attack Copter", "Recon Chopper" and "Stealth Chopper" [[Create-A-Bot (Autobot)|Create-]][[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|A-Bot]] vehicle modes from the [[Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Nintendo DS video games]] transform into robot modes bearing some resemblance to Shockwave. The Attack Chopper is the only one that can be customized to appear purple, though.
*The photo on the newspaper article in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' is of [[:Image:Shockwaveministatue.jpg|Palisades's statue]] of [[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1 Shockwave]], with something digitally added in the foreground.
*Shockwave was heavily touted as the new main villain prior to the release of ''Dark of the Moon'', no doubt in an attempt to conceal [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]'s unexpected betrayal halfway through the movie. A piece of information that commonly popped up in media coverage was the claim that Shockwave was the ruler of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] while the other Autobots and Decepticons were duking it out on Earth.<ref name="pushpops">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-just-movie-31/transformers-3-plot-summary-revealed-170756/ "Transformers 3 Plot Summary Revealed"], TFW2005, October 2010.</ref> The last bit could be written off as a case of [[Wikipedia:Chinese whispers|chinese whisper]]: Shockwave got announced as the villain for ''Dark of the Moon'', mainstream media (such as USA Today<ref name="usatodayswitch">[http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2010-06-11-Transformers11_ST_N.htm "Next 'Transformers' is due for a switch"], USA Today, June 2010.</ref>) who aren't versed in Transformers lore looked up the character, found out about his ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Shockwave (G1)|namesake]]'s role in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon]], included it as a piece of trivia to show they did their research, and then the trivia note got picked up as gospel by other media. Nevertheless, it was included in the ''official plot summary'' by Paramount's German branch (which also claimed that ''Shockwave'' was the robot discovered inside the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'' as seen in the trailer).<ref name="germansite">[http://www.transformers3-film.de/ Official German DOTM site] including faulty plot summary.</ref>
*Despite being one of the most highly anticipated characters in the film, Shockwave has very minimal screentime. His only understandable line in the film is at Chernobyl: "Optimus," and seems more like a drone than Megatron's greatest assassin. In the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|comic adaptation]], which was based on early drafts of the script, Shockwave had more lines during the Chicago battle.
*Shockwave does not have the same form in IDW's ''[[Transformers: Rising Storm]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Foundation|Foundation]]'' that he does in ''Dark of the Moon'' despite both being Cybertronian forms. His form in the comics is less skeletal in robot mode than his appearance in the film, and he also transforms into a Cybertronian jet, much like [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s original body, whereas his film design transforms into some form of Cybertronian tank. (Following the leader, maybe?) [[John Barber]] commented on his Twitter account that he isn't sure why Shockwave's appearance is different from that in the film, but that an explanation will be given in issue 4 of ''Rising Storm''. <ref>http://twitter.com/#!/TheJohnBarber/status/60710221739339776</ref> While the issue doesn't explicitly show how he gets his ''Dark of the Moon'' body, Shockwave is indeed badly damaged by Optimus Prime. Possibly because of this extensive reconstruction, Shockwave doesn't transform in the film (or the video game prequel before it, which displayed him with his current body instead of the old, G1-esque one).
*[[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1 Shockwave]]'s original voice actor, [[Corey Burton]], expressed that he had no interest in voicing him for ''Dark of the Moon'', explaining "[I] have practically no interest in that kind of mega-budget movie enterprise involvement" and that the inspiration for his Shockwave voice, [[wikipedia:David Warner (actor)|David Warner]], was rumored to have been considered.<ref>[http://www.coreyburton.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=2707&highlight=#2707 Corey Burton's message board post.]</ref> In the end, Shockwave's almost-entirely-wordless-snarl-based role would have been something of a waste of Warner; the role ultimately went to Frank Welker. There's a nice touch of symmetry in the casting, with Welker taking over a Burton-originated role not long after Burton took on a Welker-originated character in [[Megatron (Animated)|''Animated'' Megatron]].
*Hasbro's online bio for Shockwave claims he had spent decades trapped under Chernobyl, but this was not reflected in any actual media; both the video game and ''Rising Storm'' comics have him held at a Russian facility from which he is freed shortly before the film's events, and the film itself doesn't give any indication that his appearance at Chernobyl in its opening scenes is an "escape" of any kind.

*Bucking tradition, this Shockwave has a mouth. Sure, it's more like a horrifying maw of teeth, but it's there.
*Shockwave's AstroMag cannon is a reference to [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Notes|the original Shockwave's]] toy mold being first released by ToyCo as the "[http://www.robot-japan.com/Gallery/Takara/Transformers/G1/AstroMagnum/Toybox-Astro-Magnum.asp 4 Changeable Astro Magnum]".
*Select [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] stores in the US had a promotion for a Shockwave poster with the purchase of any [[Transformers brand]] [[toy]] from [[June 5]], 2011 to [[June 11]], 2011.
*Although Shockwave's toy transforms into a Cybertronian tank, this alternate mode is never seen in the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|live-action movie]] nor the video game.
*While Shockwave's weapon of choice is described as a particle or laser cannon in most related Dark of the Moon media, it appears to be some variety of cluster missile launcher in the movie proper.
*Early artwork for Shockwave for ''Dark of the Moon'' showed '''Blitzwing''' as a working name for the character.<ref name="nizzi">[http://www.joshnizzi.com/TF3.htm Josh Nizzi DOTM concepts.]</ref>
*Shockwave appears to have the ability of flight in his robot mode.
