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

*'''Ironhide Vs. Desert Blackout''' (Legends "Allspark Battles" two-pack, 2008)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

:Released as part of the "Allspark Power" refresh of the Movie toyline, Offroad Ironhide is a fairly extensive redeco of Voyager class Ironhide in colors reminiscent of the ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[Motormouth]]. As he's now made of several colors of plastic, he's no longer the most monochromatic toy in the 2007 ''Movie'' line.

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

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

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

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:Movie FAB Ironhide.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Pop goes the Autobot.]]
*'''Cannon Blast Ironhide''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 1 missile

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

*'''Pulse Cannon Ironhide''' (Fast Action Battler, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 1 missiles

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

====Cyber Slammers====
[[Image:Movie CyberSlammers Ironhide.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"Slam" This!]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Cyber Slammer, 2008)

:Cyber Slammers Ironhide is an amazingly cute GMC Topkick that transforms into an amazingly cute trigger happy weapons specialist. 'Slam' his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along, slowly transforming back up into robot mode. Like most Cyber Slammers, Ironhide manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode. Interestingly enough, this is the only pre-Revenge of the Fallen merchandise to feature Ironhide's scarred right eye.

:''[[Titanium Series]]'' Ironhide is a small, 3-inch-tall [[die-cast]] metal mini-statue of Ironhide's robot mode. He has swivel points at the shoulders and head, and comes with a clear plastic movie-style Autobot sigil stand.

*'''Enforcer Ironhide''' (Legends, 2009)

:Enforcer Ironhide is a [[redeco]] of 2008's [[Legends Class|Legends class]] [[Ironhide (Movie)#Legends Class toys|Ironhide]] in a more [[Ironhide (G1)|Generation 1-looking red]] colour scheme. As with all wave three Legends figures, the photo on the back of the figure's packaging shows a mistransformed robot mode, where his chest is not aligned properly.

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

: ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager class Ironhide is a retool and redeco of the toy from the 2007 ''Transformers'' movie line, featuring a new grey colour scheme with some red pin stripes and a [[NEST]] logo on each of his doors, as well as having a more accurate, asymmetrical head.

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

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

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

[[Image:ROTFtoy-JungleAttackIronhideVoyager.jpg|right|thumb|300px|John Rambot.]]
*'''Recon Ironhide''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-26'''
**''Accessories:'' Assault rifle, mini-gun, knife A, knife B, bullbar/crossbow, cannon, spring-loaded cannon/crossbow, projectile

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

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

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

:In response to the [[For safety reasons|breakage issues]] concerning the windshield peg, all of Ironhide's (newly-tooled) windows are now cast in softer and more flexible opaque plastic, compared to the more rigid translucent plastic seen on previous versions of this toy.

[[Image:Transformers2010DeluxeIronhide.jpg|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Weapon pod

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

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

{{picsneeded|Japanese version}}
:The [[TakaraTomy]] ''Autobot Alliance'' release of this figure features a significant colouring change: Where Hasbro's release cast much of Ironhide's legs, feet, hands, shoulders and some joints in light blue, TakaraTomy's uses dark grey plastic.

He is packaged with a redeco of Deluxe-class [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] from the first movie and, as part of the "[[Hunt for the Decepticons]]" promotion, a "Most Wanted" collector's card featuring the Decepticon.

*'''Ironhide''' (Cyberverse Commander, 2011)
**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''004'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV06'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 Cannons

: ''[[Cyberverse]]'' Commander Ironhide is a brand new mold, being much better in proportions and being more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] than his previous Legends-class figure. Unfortunately, the toy's attempt to accurately replicate Ironhide's angled hood-chest in robot mode has resulted in a ''very'' unsightly gap on the center of the hood in vehicle mode.

: His articulation has also improved significantly, as he's almost as articulated as his Deluxe-class figure. His arms don't swing out far enough in robot mode, although his upper arms can rotate and his elbows can bend in quite well to easily compensate for this.

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

*'''Leadfoot and Ironhide''' (Cyberverse 2-pack, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' 2 Cannons

: This [[Target]]-exclusive Ironhide is a redeco of the Cyberverse Commander figure. He is now dark blue, has [[cyberglyphics]] on the hood and doors of his vehicle mode, and the tips of his multi-barreled cannon are painted gold. He comes in a two-pack with a redecoed [[Leadfoot_(DOTM)|Leadfoot]].

{{-}}

*'''Cybertronian Warriors''' (Cyberverse 4-pack, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' 2 Cannons

: Another redeco of Cyberverse Commander Ironhide, this time [[exclusive]] to [[Toys"R"Us]] in a 4 pack with redecoes of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Cyberverse|Bumblebee]] (with [[Mobile Battle Bunker#CybertronianWarriors|APC]]), [[Crankcase (DOTM)#CybertronianWarriors|Crankcase]], and [[Barricade (Movie)#Cyberverse|Barricade]]. Ironhide is given a "Premium"-esque deco of his standard colors, with a matte-black finish and gold highlights. He's also something of the odd bot out of the set, with Crankcase and Barricade colored like MD Metro police, and Bumblebee given a damage deco on his front (to represent the damage done to one of the stunt cars playing Bumblebee when it collided with an actual DC police vehicle).

: With matching paint jobs (the dark grayish black and bronze are near perfect matches), it appears as if the APC was intended to go with Ironhide more so than Bumblebee.

:This redeco of Deluxe class Ironhide is [[exclusive]] to [[Toys"R"Us]]' Mission Earth: The Scan Series, to represent him [[Trans-scan|trans-scanning]] his vehicle mode. As such, the rear half of his vehicle mode is cast in translucent clear plastic.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

: A fold-out "pseudo-figure" of Ironhide "transforms" from a flat, blue platform decorated with the Autobot symbol and the word "Transformers" to a robot by folding out. Ironhide is represented by stickers decorated with artwork of the character on the top, bottom, and two fold out "arms". His name is also spelled out, across his feet in this mode.

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

:Sadly, installing a grumpy trigger-happy alien robot and deadly high-tech weaponry into the works is not part of the included modifications. Production on the GMC Topkick truck ceased when General Motors exited the medium-duty truck market in 2009.

58.69.69.202: /* Notes */

{{factions|decepticon}}
{{disambig3|Crankcase}}

:''Crankcase is a [[Decepticon]] [[Dread (subgroup)| Dread]] from the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:DOTMCrankcase.jpg|right|thumb|250px|The hunt has begun...]]

A rarity among Decepticons, '''Crankcase''' is known for his subtle and shadowy nature, though it would be a mistake not to see him as a threat. A member of the elite [[Dread (subgroup)|Dreads]], the Decepticon’s top infiltration and assassination team, his specialty is hacking, data theft, and destructive sabotage of vital systems.

==Fiction==
===''Dark of the Moon'' adaptations===

When [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] was being retrieved from [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], [[Hatchet]], [[Crowbar]], and Crankcase surfaced quietly and secretly hitched a ride on the Autobots' shuttle back to Earth. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|Dark of the Moon Movie adaptation}}

===''Dark of the Moon'' film===

[[Image:Dotm Crankcase standoff.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Ironhide probably could have shot him about now and saved all that trouble of being stabbed.]]

After [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] was retrieved from [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] and reactivated, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] put into motion the plan that had been waiting in the wings for hundreds of years. With the [[human]] [[Sam Witwicky]] believing that the Decepticons wished to capture Sentinel and force him to use the control pillar to activate his space bridge, Crankcase, [[Hatchet]] and [[Crowbar]] were sent to pursue the Autobots. Crowbar closed in on [[Seymour Simmons|Seymour Simmons']] car, transformed, reached in and tossed the former [[Sector Seven]] agent behind him as he bounded ahead to knock over a highway sign for the other two to use as a ramp.

However, despite their best collective efforts to slow down the Autobots, Hatchet was quickly destroyed, and the remaining Dreads were soon confronted by the Autobot heavy-hitter, [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], who stopped them in their tracks with a head-on collision. Faced with Ironhide's heavy weapons and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], the Dreads seemingly capitulated by dropping their ranged weapons, but as soon as the Autobots followed suit, deployed spears to attack their enemies. Though his partner was initially successful in injuring Ironhide, Crankcase was destroyed when Ironhide forced Crowbar's spear through his head, slammed the Decepticon's body into an abandoned car, and kicked the wreckage into a nearby auto shop, which exploded. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

* '''Crankcase''' (Cyberverse Legion, 2011)
**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''003'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV11'''

: Part of the first wave of [[Cyberverse]] Legion single-pack toys, Crankcase is a [[Legends Class|Legends-scale]] figure that transforms into a modified [[Wikipedia:Chevrolet Suburban|Chevrolet Suburban]]. This mode is lightly detailed but looks very much like the Deluxe version. For his size class, he has an incredibly detailed face mirroring the Deluxe version. Compared to others of his range, he is one of the taller ones. In a rarity for [[Legends Class|Legends-scale]] figures, he has weapons, which look like dual blades. Later releases use the ''Battle in the Moonlight'' retool (see below).

{{-}}
{{anchor|CybertronianWarriors}}
*'''Cybertronian Warriors''' (Cyberverse multi-pack, 2011)

: A redeco and retooling (the same as the "Battle in the Moonlight" version described below) of the Legion figure in white, decoed to emulate the [[Wikipedia: Metropolitan Police Department|Metropolitan Police Department]] SUV that was hit by a Bumblebee stunt car during filming. Hilariously, the Bumblebee is given damage in the front of the vehicle mode. The set includes a [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] in a deco similar to Crankcase's, as well as an [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] who is given a slightly altered version of its original deco.

{{-}}
{{anchor|Battleinthemoonlight}}
*'''Battle in the Moonlight''' (Cyberverse multi-pack, 2011)

:A slight [[retool]] and redeco of the original Legion class figure, this time in light gray (with a slightly lighter gray for the unpaintable plastic pieces such as the wheels, thighs and various joints and connectors), and gold windows, lights, and robot mode detailing. He was sold in a Walmart exclusive multi-pack with a repainted Legion class [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and Commander Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] w/ Trailer.

:This version sports several minor remolds from the original. The calves/ankles/support struts (it's weird because of the digitigrade leg thing with the support struts in front) have been remolded so you cannot extend the struts past the intended point on the top of the foot. The original version of the mold didn't have these pieces stopped, so you could keep extending them past the point where they were supposed to meet (making the toy taller, at the expense of the feet not looking the way intended). With the legs only extending the intended length, he is now one of the shorter-to-average sized Legion figures in the line (Ignoring the truck hood hanging over his head). The joint of the hood/roof/backpack, where it connects to the back, has also had more plastic added so it cannot move more than a millimeter or two back away from the back of the head, just enough to get the chest hood chunks past it during transformation. The original version had no restrictions, and could be pushed back all the way until the bottom of the roof hit the back of the thighs. (This made it a little less obvious that he had a truck hood behind his head, at the expense of a big empty gap at his back.)

{{-}}

====Deluxe Class toys====
{{anchor|Deluxe}}
[[Image:DOTM_Deluxe_Crankcase_toy.jpg|thumb|300px|Pinsir, use Vicegrip!]]
* '''Crankcase''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD04'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/Blade Claw

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxes, Crankcase transforms into a modified Chevrolet Suburban. As part of the [[MechTech]] series, he has a Blaster weapon that features a nasty grabby-claw action feature. He also has a pair of huge pincers above his robot-mode head that can also be flipped forward whilst in vehicle mode. His dreadlocks are supposed to be able to swivel, with the intent that they be swung behind his head to fit under his hood for vehicle mode, but in practice, this proved an either impossible or inadvisable prospect: on most, the gold paint applied has made them too thick to be rotated, running the risk of tearing the soft plastic. And even if you do get a Crankcase that doesn't have this problem, the tiny translucent plastic hinges to which the dreadlocks are connected won't last long. This means that they end up stuffed inside his chest in vehicle mode (this is how the toy comes packaged), competing with everything else for space and putting the car under enough tension that it feels like it's about to spring apart.

:In an apparent [[Variant#Running_changes|running change]], the otherwise long and pointed middle digit on each hand (as per the stock photo on the right) was shoddily cut off into a noticeably thick stump (compared to the more slender fingers remaining), often cut to a different length on each hand. It is unknown if this was done for safety reasons, an error during assembly, or maybe Hasbro decided that long, extended middle fingers just weren't a tasteful design choice for a children's toy. Later releases, however, featured retooled hands with the original, longer middle finger.

:The [[TakaraTomy|Japanese]] ''Dark Side Moon'' release features the remolded hands exclusively. It also comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.
{{-}}

==Notes==
* Crankcase appears to be modeled after the [[Predator (alien)|eponymous alien hunter from the ''Predator'' series]], possessing similar "dreadlocks", mandibles, fangs, and claws.
[[Image:DOTM Crankcase Josh Nizzi.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Plenty of [[Dread (subgroup)|dread]], but no wind.]]
* In early production, the [[Dread (subgroup)|Dreads]] were announced to be a pair of modified Chevrolet Suburbans, and were referred to by the [[fandom]] as twins. [http://screenrant.com/transformers-3-characters-dreads-rob-95462/ Photos] were even taken on-set, but the final movie shows three Dreads, all of whom transform into Chevrolet Suburbans. In the toyline, only Crankcase has this [[alternate mode]], while [[Crowbar]] and [[Hatchet]] transform into different vehicles.
* A Dread Enforcer identical to Crankcase appears as a boss enemy in the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|Dark of the Moon video game]], and is also playable in the game's online multiplayer mode. But his alternate mode is a police car similar to Crowbar's toy alternate mode rather than a Suburban.
* No, he is not [[Dave Fennoy]].

Cyberglyphics

2011-11-27T13:01:21Z

58.69.69.202: /* Notes */

:''Cyberglyphics are a language from the [[Movie continuity|live-action movie continuity]].''
[[Image:Cyberglyphics Prime Symbol.png|thumb|right|200px|Well that's just... [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]!]]
The ancient and all-but-forgotten [[Cybertronian languages |language]] of the [[Dynasty of Primes]], the symbols known as '''Cyberglyphics''' offer a link to the heritage of the Transformers. Much of the language is poorly understood, relegated to the studies of scholars such as the Cybertronian who would one day be known as [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. In archaeological digs on the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], he slowly began to piece together its rudiments. Many of its symbols are present in the whorls of the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]].

==Fiction==

===Movie Continuity===
====Transformers (2007 film)====
[[Image:Cybertronian symbols.JPG|left|300px|thumb|S6S FA F G AS HDF F UALADD to you too, buddy.]]
Several Transformers (notably [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]) have [[Cyberglyphics]] etched onto their heads, near the cheek area.

The AllSpark was covered in Cyberglyphics, leading [[Sector Seven]] to conclude a connection between the All Spark and Megatron. Additionally, [[Transition form|cometary forms]] are covered in Cybertronian "tribal markings".<ref>[[Ben Procter]]'s [http://www.benprocter.com/SITEv2/HTML/PROJPAGE_Trans_12.html online portfolio]</ref>

When Decepticons communicated in their own native language, Cyberglyphic subtitles are briefly displayed before being replaced with English.

====IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics====
[[Image:Defiance 3 frenzy Cyberglyphics.jpg|thumb|200px|right|COMM LINK<br/>STARSCREAM<br/><br/>OPTIMUS<br/>EN ROUTE]]
During their excavations, the crew serving under Optimus came across [[:Image:Cyberglyphics Prime Symbol.png|one symbol]] repeatedly on the unearthed sarcophagi. They believed it to denote the [[Dynasty of Primes|Dynasty]] of [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]s. They also cover the mysterious [[The Fallen|artifact]] that Megatron took. Finally, a shot from Frenzy's POV includes Cyberglyphics.{{storylink|Defiance issue 3}}

Much later, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] honored his heritage by carving Cyberglyphics into his exo-structure to mark his quest for vengeance and righteous battle. {{storylink|Alliance issue 1}}

A [[Soundwave (ROTF)|shadowy figure]] on the moon examined the detritus left over from Starscream's [[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|abortive reign]], with Cyberglyphics prominently displayed in his POV shot. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2}}

====Battle for the Allspark v2====
[[Image:B4tasv2 numerals.png|thumb|left|50px]]
Numerals to denote zero through nine were shown.{{storylink|Battle for the Allspark v2}}

====''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie====

After getting a violent jolt by touching a fragment of the seemingly destroyed All Spark, [[Sam Witwicky]] started to have visions of Cyberglyphic symbols, scribbling them in his notebooks, on chalkboards, and eventually all over his room at [[Hamilton Hall]]. This earned him the attention of [[Alice]], who was secretly a [[Decepticon]] spy.

After a Decepticon attack killed Optimus Prime, Sam resolved to figure out what the symbols in his visions meant. However, the [[Autobot]]s identified them as an ancient form of Cybertronian which they could not read. [[Leo Spitz]] led Sam to [[Seymour Simmons]], who showed Sam evidence from his trove of pilfered [[Sector Seven]] files. Through this, Sam learned that his ancestor [[Archibald Witwicky]] drew similar ones after his encounter with the frozen [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]].

[[Image:ROTF Cyberglyphics field.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Anyone wanna try and translate this? Anyone?]]
Seeking more answers he questioned the captive Decepticon [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]], who was able to identify them as the language of the Primes but was unable to decipher them. He did however reveal that [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]]s had an understanding of them, and led Sam and his friends to the decrepit [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] in the [[Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum|Smithsonian Institute]]. The turncoat Seeker was indeed able to translate, and opened a [[space bridge]] to transport the group to [[Egypt]], where the translated prophecy led him to the [[Tomb of the Primes]]. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)}}

===Animated Continuity===
Cyberglyphics is the oldest surviving written language on Cybertron, dating back seven billion stellar cycles.{{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac Volume 2}}

==Notes==
*An advertisement for [[Transformers: Destiny|Destiny]] in [[The Reign of Starscream issue 5]] featured Cyberglyphic writing.
*''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Robot Powered Machines|RPM]] [[Bumblebee (Movie)/merchandise#RPMCyberHunt|Cyber Hunt Series Bumblebee]] has the toy's name "BUMBLEBEE" on his packaging written in Cyberglyphics. The toy itself features "PROTECT" on the left and right sides of the vehicle.
**The ''[[Speed Stars]]'' [[Bumblebee (Movie)/merchandise#SpeedCyberHunt|version]] however, has "ISK" and "KSI" on the left and right sides of the vehicle ("3S6"/"6S3" if some of the symbols are used as numerals instead.)

*'''Beatmix Bumblebee''' (2007)

: ''Beatmix'' Bumblebee is a device that hooks up to a music device, similarly to an ''iDog''. Like the aforementioned product, ''Beatmix'' Bumblebee reacts to the music being played (outputted via a speaker within him). With a touch, he can also sample the owner's music tracks and replay them with sound effects from the movie. His arms are posable, but Bumblebee cannot transform.

*'''Bumblebee AllSpark Blaster''' (2008)

:The Bumblebee AllSpark Blaster is one of several Movie Roleplay toys. The toy consists of a blaster attached to Bumblebee's (hollow) hand which a child can slip their own hand inside like a glove and wield. Pulling the trigger causes the toy to emit transformation sounds, allowing the user to transform the toy weapon from laser blaster mode to plasma cannon mode, by pulling the handle on the back. Laser blaster mode features laser pulse sounds and a "laser flare beam" (lights), while the plasma cannon mode has "plasma pulse lights" and explosion sounds.

{{anchor|ROTFVoicechanger}}
[[Image:ROTF Bumblebee VoiceChanger.jpg|right|150px|thumb|A Voice Changer Helmet for a character who has no voice and talks through the radio.]]
*'''Bumblebee Voice Changer'''
**''Parts:'' Antennas(l+r), Side pieces (l+r), Helmet top, Adjustable straps (pre-installed), Battery cover (pre-installed), Switch retainer (red!), AAA batteries (3), Helmet.

:The Bumblebee voice changer helmet, much like the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/merchandise#Optimus_Prime_Voice_Changer|Optimus Prime helmet from 2007]], is a detailed helmet designed to... uhh... change your voice. Oh! And to make your head look like a highly detailed, and movie accurate replicate of Bumblebee. The helmet is nearly fully enclosed around the head, unlike the Prime helmet, and is adjustable so it can be sized to fit adults and children. The helmet is really, really yellow.

:The helmet features three different buttons, the ''voice mixer'', ''battle phrases'' and ''conversion sounds'' buttons.

:The ''voice mixer'' button makes the helmet modulate your voice and play wicked beats at the same time so you can get down with your bad self. The ''battle phrases'' are meant to sound like random radio mixing, but really sound like a couple of guys in a studio yelling at a microphone with silly voices. Enjoy fun phrases like, "You are no match for my new kung fu!" in a delightfully bad Chop Socky voice! However, there are at least a few radio voice clips from the actual movie. The ''conversion sounds'' button plays the transforming sound, or if you hold the button down plays the transforming sound as if it were being remixed live by a DJ on a turntable. Okay, y'know... like with a baby scratch or a backwards loop or something.

:The helmet has three play modes. There's ''demo'', ''on'' and the parents' favourite, ''off''. The helmet comes packaged in the ''demo'' mode with a ''switch retainer'' to keep it there. You'll need to take that sucker off to put him in the all important ''on'' mode. But don't throw it out! It's a really pretty red.

:In order to avoid language barriers, the European version doesn't play battle phrases. However, later releases did feature voiceclips.

{{-}}{{anchor|Plasmacannon}}
[[Image:ROTF Bumblebee PlasmaCannon.jpg|right|300px|thumb| FIGHTING TO SAVE THE WORLD!]]
*'''Bumblebee Plasma Cannon''' (2009)
: The Plasma Cannon is a stylized version of Bumblebee's fist that converts to a plasma cannon roleplay toy when the barrel is slid forward or the trigger is pulled. When fired, a ring of red lights around the barrel flashes (totally awesome). If the trigger is only pulled half-way, a "charging" sound is made. There is also an Autobot sigil on the side that, when pressed, causes sound effects to be heard. These include conversion noises, a revving engine, and clips from [[Stan Bush]]'s "[[The Touch]]" (also awesome, but only in the "Try Me" setting, which is not quite as awesome).

Pressing a button on his roof will play a sound clip of the [[Transformation#The_noise|G1 transformation sound effect]] and a small projectile will be launched from his front grill. The projectile has a sticker showing his robot mode on it. Flicking a switch on Bumblebee's underside will silence the sound chip, so the button will only launch the projectile.

This time, the cyberglyphics on his left and right sides rather meaninglessly spell out "ISK" and "KSI" (or "3S6"/"6S3" if some of the symbols are used [[:Image:B4tasv2 numerals.png|as numerals]].)
