'''Ratchet 'finalizes' the synthetic energon formula and uses himself as a test subject, but it ends up having some negative side effects.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] checks out a sample of synthetic [[energon (fuel)|energon]] he's created, watched by [[Raf Esquivel|Raf]]. Approving the stability of the energon, Ratchet tries it on a test engine, and it works fine. Raf's keen to try it on [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]], but Ratchet says it'll require more testing first. Meanwhile, the base sensors pick up energon movement, but before [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] gives the order to roll out, Ratchet warns him about the depleted state of their energon reserves. Once Prime's team rolls out, Ratchet has the idea to try the synthetic energon on himself. He does so, and after spending a short period laying on the floor out cold, is roused by Raf. The synthetic energon appears to be a success, giving him more fuel efficiency and better motor functions.

Meanwhile Prime's team chases [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] and [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] through an icy canyon. The Decepticons aren't in any hurry to bridge out, as they're trying to "help" the [[Autobot]]s run out of energon. Some [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicon]]s flying overhead blast the sheer sides of canyon, causing a rock fall that blocks off the Autobots' path. [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] manages to drive over it in her motorcycle mode, despite Prime's warnings, and races after the two Decepticons, only to be hit by missiles from the Vehicons. She is swiftly surrounded by Decepticons, and things look grim until Ratchet comes flying through the GroundBridge and begins laying into them with gusto. Knock Out and Breakdown assume that the Ratchet's a new Autobot, but are forced to retreat as Optimus, [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] and Bumblebee come into view, firing at them. Ratchet finishes off the last of the Vehicons, to stunned looks from his teammates.

Back at base, Ratchet reveals his secret to the other Autobots, but Optimus doesn't think it's a good idea to test the synthetic energon on Autobots, and underlines the importance of his job as medic. Some time later, Ratchet's retelling his fight to Bulkhead, and in demonstrating a move, manages to throw his fellow Autobot through a nearby wall. The other Autobots are startled at his new personality. Ratchet goes and injects more of the synthetic energon into himself. When the sensors light up again, Prime prepares to roll out again, but Ratchet volunteers to go along.

As they head through a mountainous area, Ratchet moves ninja-style at the front of the team. They soon find some Vehicons and a [[Decepticon Miner|miner]] drilling into a rock face, and Ratchet immediate moves in. When the miner makes a run for it, Ratchet gives chase and knocks him down with a well-thrown rock. The other Autobots find Ratchet forcibly interrogating the miner with his blowtorch. Optimus stops him from finishing off the prisoner and begins to lecture him on doing harm where none is necessary, but Ratchet is agitated, believing they should be more pro-active. As the argument heats up, Ratchet even manages to antagonize Arcee by bringing up [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]], and Prime decides to confine Ratchet to base. Though Ratchet appears to go calmly through the GroundBridge, moments later he charges back out, flattening Bulkhead and racing off. Prime's team returns to base, but is unable to get a fix on Ratchet's signal.

In a Decepticon energon mine, Breakdown is chatting with a miner when Ratchet walks into the cavern. Elsewhere, [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] shouts at Knock Out for not finding a new energon source, but they're interrupted by Ratchet dropping Breakdown on the floor. Megatron scoffs at the newcomer, until a punch from Ratchet sends him flying. Unfortunately Megatron is made of sterner stuff and gives Ratchet a savage injury, telling Knock Out to take a sample so they can find out how Ratchet got so amped up.

On the bright side, Ratchet is rendered visible to the sensors in the [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|Autobot base]], and Optimus, Arcee and Bulkhead use the GroundBridge to attack the mine.

Knock Out finishes taking his sample, and moves in to finish Ratchet off with his circular saw. When the sound of approaching fighting distracts Knock Out, Ratchet takes the opportunity to fight back, resulting in Knock Out's saw getting stuck in the wall. Ratchet promptly grabs the synthetic energon sample and smashes it. Knock Out is outraged, but once more has to retreat as the other Autobots arrive.

Ratchet is hooked up to a drip back at base, and apologizes for his behavior. Optimus points out the new supply of energon they got from the mine, and Ratchet promises to do more testing on the synthetic stuff before using it on Autobots again. Optimus is just thankful they destroyed Knock Out's sample, unaware of the fact that back at the mine, Knock Out has found a single drop of synthetic energon.

==Quotes==

"HOOAAH!"
:—'''Ratchet''' gets a new catchphrase. He needed that.

'''Ratchet:''' (''clicks as he walks by'') How's it hummin'? 
'''Arcee:''' ... Did he just? 
'''Bulkhead:''' Stronger, faster, studlier.
:—Yeah, he did.

"It's all right—I'm an emergency vehicle!"
:—'''Ratchet''', engaging the Decepticons.

'''Optimus Prime:''' "A direct assault on the Decepticons would only provoke retaliation...and lead to incalculable losses. I will not endanger innocent human lives." 
'''Ratchet:''' "Yet you seem to have no problem endangering ours! Just ask Cliffjumper! Oh, I forgot! He couldn't be here today!" 
'''Arcee:''' "That's it!" (Runs toward Ratchet, but Bulkhead holds her back.) 
'''Ratchet:''' "You know your problem, Optimus? For such a big, strong 'Bot...you're soft. You didn't pound Megatron into scrap when you had the chance! Many chances, in fact!"
:—'''Optimus Prime''' and '''Arcee''' quickly become victims of Ratchet's new personality.

"Yeah, she's kinda domineering and the extra arms are weird, but... I find myself intrigued by her."
:—'''Breakdown''' chats to a Vehicon about [[Airachnid]].

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
*Bumblebee is shown returning with the other Autobots despite staying at base to operate the GroundBridge.
*The sample of synthetic energon Knock Out was holding was only about half full, but when Ratchet picked it up, it was completely full.
*Just before destroying the cylinder of synthetic energon, Ratchet's wound is not shown to be leaking. Mere moments after he's hit the ground, another puddle of energon has formed beneath him.
*Breakdown is knocked out by Ratchet just before he engages Megatron. When the Autobots show up at the end, however, Breakdown has vanished and he isn't shown fleeing with Knock Out.

===Continuity notes===
* The synthetic energon created in the episode is derived from the formula transcribed by Bulkhead in [[T.M.I.|the previous episode]].
* Ratchet's description of the Autobots having fought numerous battles recently is accompanied by flashbacks to various battles from the "[[Darkness Rising]]" five-part pilot among others, including "[[Operation: Breakdown]]" and "[[Partners]]".
* The engine Ratchet uses to test the synthetic energon is a larger version of the device Ratchet built for [[Jack Darby|Jack's]] science project in "[[Masters & Students]]".
* Knock Out confuses Ratchet for a "new" Autobot. Which makes sense, since neither he or Breakdown have encountered him before.

===Transformers references===

===Real-world references===

Ratchet testing the synthetic Energon himself is somewhat similar to Dr. Bruce Banner testing the gamma radiation on himself. Both their eyes appears to be green under the influence of the substance.

===Trivia===
*The episode was first broadcast on Canada's Teletoon channel.

Dark of the Moon (video games)

2011-06-17T10:10:10Z

60.48.78.13: /* Plot */

{{Nav-dotm-game}}
'''''Transformers: Dark of the Moon''''' will be published on various platforms by [[Activision Blizzard|Activision]] on [[June 14]], [[2011]]. Following the success of ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'', [[High Moon Studios]] are developing the Xbox 360/PS3 versions, while [[Behaviour Interactive]] is working on the Wii and handheld games. The story takes place two years before the movie, and gameplay will utilize [[Stealth Force]].
==Plot==
Three years after the events of Revenge of the Fallen, humanity believes the Decepticons have fled Earth. However, Optimus Prime knows better and is constantly searching for Megatron and his forces. Bumblebee is sent to upload a virus into Soundwave's network system so that the Autobots can track down all remaining Decepticons on Earth. Bumblebee succeeds but is discovered by a Decepticon party who flee in an attempt to alert their leader Megatron. Bumblebee tracks the Decepticons down to a small village where he destroys all the devices trying to contact Megatron. Waves of Decepticons land in the city hoping to destroy him, but Optimus and Sideswipe show up and help Bumblebee fight off the attackers.

The Decepticons attack the city of Detroit and Ratchet is ordered to help civilians evacuate while Ironhide goes off to wipe out the attackers in the city. Ironhide makes his way into the city's main construction zone where he receives transmission that Ratchet has been captured by Mixmaster. Ironhide battles his way to find Mixmaster who has knocked out and injured Ratchet. Ironhide's normal weapons are not strong enough to pierce Mixmaster's shields, so he uses his "Heavy Iron" ability to cause a large metal platform to land on Mixmaster trapping him underground. Realizing that Mixmaster would probably try to escape them, Ratchet reveals he placed a tracker on the Decepticon when he was captured. Ironhide continues his search for Mixmaster and receives the "Heavy Iron 2.0" upgrade from Wheeljack which can destroy Mixmaster's shields. Mixmaster is powerless against Ironhide's new weapon, defeated, and is killed by a fatal headshot from Ironhide.

Sideswipe is captured by Decepticon forces and Mirage is sent to find him. Along the way, Starscream tries to destroy Mirage with proximity mines and grabs the Autobot and throws him through a bridge into a deep ravine down below, believing he has killed the Autobot. Mirage's internal systems have been extensively damaged disabling his weapons and transformation system. He is only able to use his Active Camoflauge to sneak past patrols of Decepticons. He discovers the entrance to an ancient Mayan temple which has Decepticon markings all over it suggesting the Mayans built their temples on top of Decepticon technology. The NEST team sends weapons and repairs for Mirage deep within the jungle where he eventually meets up with Bumblebee. The two Autobots make their way through the ruins and battle a Decepticon Enforcer on top of a temple. After dispatching of the enemy, the two discover Sideswipe and hold off enemy forces until NEST reinforcements are able to arrive to help ward off the attack. The trio of Autobots make their way deeper into the ruins where Starscream is trying to launch a Decepticon device into space. The Autobots are unable to prevent the launch and Starscream retreats.

Soundwave lands on earth and takes on an alternate form of a SUV. He discovers NEST has a secret facility hidden in a volcano. Soundwave fights his wave through the jungle and into the volcano. He arrives at the entrance of the NEST base and is unable to enter, so he send Laserbeak to sneak inside. Laserbeak goes throughout the base scanning information regarding the human coverup of the Lunar Landing and activates the front doors for Soundwave to enter. Soundwave is seemingly caught in a laser grid prison but even so, the Decepticon is able to destroy all forces coming in to capture him. Soundwave discovers and destroys all 3 Volcanic Stabilizer devices and the Coolant system and escapes the base and volcano before it explodes.

The Decepticons learn that Autobots are about to transport their new MechTech weapons system to Optimus Prime and Starscream goes off the retrieve it. Starscream chases Air Raid through a canyon only to discover the Aerial Bots are escaping onboard Stratosphere with the MechTech systems onboard. Starscream is able to injure Stratosphere, forcing the Aerial Bots to deploys and try to destroy Starscream. However, he proves to be too strong for them and continues to shoot down all of Stratosphere's engines. Starscream boards the large Autobot and takes some of the MechTech weapons before using the rest to destroy Stratosphere from the inside.

Starscream returns to Megatron hoping to please his master with news that they can use the Autobots' technology against them. Megatron, however, is furious as he knows the Autobots have placed tracking devices in all their weapons leading them to Megatron's lair where he has been recuperating. Megatron rallies his Decepticon forces to hold off the Autobot attack while he makes his way through the tunnels to Shockwave's cryochamber. Megatron scans a truck rig and gains a new transformation form to travel quicker through the tunnels. As he nears Shockwave's chamber, he encounters Warpath who Megatron easily finishes off. Megatron disables the intense cryo system that has kept Shockwave frozen for so many year and waits for his assassin to awake. Optimus arrives intending to stop Megatron from finishing his plan and activates an energon shield that Megatron cannot penetrate. Soundwave informs Megatron that the spray from the cryo generators can weaken the shields. Megatron destroys the generators in the room until the shields on Optimus completely wear off. He knocks Optimus down a large hole in the ground and escapes.

Optimus awakens at the bottom of the cryo chamber to discover what Megatron has been after this whole time: to awaken his best soldier, Shockwave. Optimus knowing how powerful Shockwave truly is tries to find a way to reactivate the cryo system, but the Deception assassin has already been thawing too long and reawakens. Optimus and Shockwave battle and he discovers Shockwave's weakness are the energy cells on his back which power his hand blaster cannon. After dealing enough damage to Shockwave, the assassin retreats to the throne he was frozen on only for it to be revealed as Shockwave's pet, the Driller. The Driller tries to destroy Optimus with its tentacles but Optimus is able to disable them with his shoulder-mounted rockets. The Driller seems to retreat in defeat and Shockwave remains to try to finish off Optimus. Waves of Autobots land from above to help their leader in destroying Shockwave. Just as Optimus is about to deal the final blow to kill Shockwave, the Driller reappears and protects its master from the attack. It then retreats into the tunnels with its master.

The Autobots have won this battle but know the war with the Decepticons still wages on. Megatron, Soundwave, Starscream and Shockwave meet in South Africa where Megatron tells Shockwave to head to Chernobyl to search for a certain ancient Cybertronian artifact. Megatron gloats that "Operation Pillar" is underway and that the Autobots and humans have no idea what is in store for them, setting up the events of the 3rd movie.

'''Barricade and Frenzy steal NEST defense deactivation codes.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]] is in pursuit of [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] on [[Interstate 95]] in [[Scramble City (city)|Scramble City]]. Barricade stops at a secure facility and uses a [[hologram]] of a [[Moustache Man|police officer]] to fool a face-recognition scanner to gain access to the building. Once inside, Frenzy hacks into the computer system. Sideswipe sneaks up on them and attacks Frenzy, crumpling the little Decepticon into a ball. Barricade taunts Sideswipe, but Sideswipe plays it cool, so the Decepticon then throws the balled-up Frenzy at Sideswipe, who bounces him back. Barricade attacks, and the two of them struggle until Barricade uses a coolant line to freeze Sideswipe to a computer bank. The Decepticons leave with stolen [[NEST]] defense deactivation codes. Sideswipe breaks off one of his [[cybertanium]] blades while freeing himself.

'''Ratchet battles Lockdown.'''

==Synopsis==
Ratchet is the only [[Autobot]] at [[NEST]] headquarters, and all of the [[human]] team members are asleep. He is firing his [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] blaster at a portable stereo in order to make adjustments, when he is contacted by Optimus Prime. Optimus notifies him that Lockdown is causing trouble in [[Mission City]]. Ratchet goes to confront the Decepticon.

Ratchet briefly chases Lockdown through the city until he is able to score a hit with his EMP blaster. They both transform and exchange words. Ratchet attempts to shoot Lockdown, but his EMP blaster malfunctions. Lockdown thrashes Ratchet with his hook, steals his EMP blaster, and gets away.

==Quotes==
"Lockdown's definitely my own worst enemy."
:—'''Ratchet'''

"When will you learn, Ratchet? Science will not win this war."
:—'''Lockdown'''

==Notes==
===Animation or technical errors===
* The establishing shots of the episode send the camera flying around the buildings of Mission City, ultimately zooming through the window of a skyscraper when the visuals cut immediately to Ratchet testing his EMP blaster. This would normally mean that Ratchet is inside that building, but dialog indicates that is not the case. Instead, Ratchet is at NEST headquarters countless miles away, and Optimus Prime tells him to head to Mission City.

===Continuity errors===
* Mission City was previously located in either California or Nevada, but this episode's chase takes place on [[Interstate 95]], which in the real world runs up and down the east coast of the [[United States]].

'''Ratchet battles Lockdown.'''

==Synopsis==
Ratchet is the only [[Autobot]] at [[NEST]] headquarters, and all of the [[human]] team members are asleep. He is firing his [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] blaster at a portable stereo in order to make adjustments, when he is contacted by Optimus Prime. Optimus notifies him that Lockdown is causing trouble in [[Mission City]]. Ratchet goes to confront the Decepticon.

Ratchet briefly chases Lockdown through the city until he is able to score a hit with his EMP blaster. They both transform and exchange words. Ratchet attempts to shoot Lockdown, but his EMP blaster malfunctions. Lockdown thrashes Ratchet with his hook, steals his EMP blaster, and gets away.

==Quotes==
"Lockdown's definitely my own worst enemy."
:—'''Ratchet'''

"When will you learn, Ratchet? Science will not win this war."
:—'''Lockdown'''

==Notes==
===Animation or technical errors===
* The establishing shots of the episode send the camera flying around the buildings of Mission City, ultimately zooming through the window of a skyscraper when the visuals cut immediately to Ratchet testing his EMP blaster. This would normally mean that Ratchet is inside that building, but dialog indicates that is not the case. Instead, Ratchet is at NEST headquarters countless miles away, and Optimus Prime tells him to head to Mission City.

===Continuity errors===
* Mission City was previously located in either California or Nevada, but this episode's chase takes place on [[Interstate 95]], which in the real world runs up and down the east coast of the [[United States]].

===Transformers references===
* Ratchet is in his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe class body.
* A big deal is made about Lockdown being larger than Ratchet. This is an awkward reference to their Deluxe class toy [[scale]], for which Lockdown has the larger toy. The two aren't shown side-by-side, so it is unclear how much bigger Lockdown is, but it is hard to imagine how a sports car could be significantly larger than a Hummer. Then again, the [[Lockdown (Animated)| Animated Lockdown]] was also quite a large Transformer for his alt mode, both in fiction and toy scale, so it's probably a character trait.
* ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]] also stole ''Animated'' [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]]'s [[Ratchet's EMP generator|EMP device]] in the episode "[[The Thrill of the Hunt]]".

Laserbeak (WFC)

60.48.197.101: /* Notes */ Added a note.

{{faction|decepticon|minicon}}
{{disambig3|Laserbeak}}
:''Laserbeak is a [[Decepticon]] [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Transformers: Prime]] [[continuity family]].''
[[Image:WFCLaserbeak.jpg|thumb|300px|The clearest shot of him in the whole game.]]

Of the warriors who stand with [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]], '''Laserbeak''' may say the least, but he quickly distinguishes himself, as his powerful laser attacks can pin down an [[Autobot]] attack force... when it isn't cutting them to shreds.

==Fiction==
===''Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron''===
Megatron despised Soundwave's minions, including Laserbeak. Regardless, Soundwave found Laserbeak more valuable than [[Rumble (Prime)|Rumble]] and [[Frenzy (Prime)|Frenzy]], and when Soundwave did some intense thinking, his Minicons inside got restless. {{storylink|Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron}}

==Games==
===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)===

When the captive [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] and [[Sideswipe (Prime)|Sideswipe]] were brought before Soundwave in the Kaon Prison, Laserbeak swooped down and perched on his master's arm. It soon turned out, however, that Prime's team had allowed themselves to be captured so they could rescue [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]], and as they escaped and made their way through the prison, Laserbeak could be spotted lurking in the shadows, watching their progress, at three different locations. By the time Prime's group made it to Soundwave's laboratory, where Zeta Prime was being held Laserbeak had reunited with his master, and joined Soundwave in battling the Autobots. Laserbeak served as Soundwave's last line of defense in the clash, ejecting from his chest and screeching across the lab at high speeds, blasting laser bursts onto the Autobots below. He was eventually downed, however, and accompanied Soundwave in a hasty retreat, but not before Soundwave fatally wounded Zeta Prime. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (DS)===
Laserbeak recorded a communication between Zeta Prime and the Autobots, allowing the Decepticons to pinpoint the Autobot leader's probable location so they could obtain the [[Omega Key]]. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

==Notes==
*The [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|home console version]] of ''War for Cybertron'' has a trophy/achievement that is received by shooting the three hidden Laserbeaks in Kaon Prison Break.
*This Laserbeak appears to be based off [[Laserbeak (G1)| His G1 Counterpart's]] Cybertronian form from [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]].

:''Mixmaster is a [[Decepticon]] [[Triple Changer]] 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 Mixmaster concept art.jpg|thumb|right|300px|You can never have too many shields.]]

A genius chemist, '''Mixmaster''' serves as a weapons designer to the Decepticon elite. He has spent his entire lifespan mastering the intricacies of chemical reactions, becoming an expert in poisons, corrosive substances, and most especially explosives. He has a knack for improvisation, being able to make deadly concoctions from just the native materials a world has to offer. A member of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], when [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] is formed he constitutes the lumbering beast's head.

There are two of him, one of which forms the head of [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]], the other may or may not be also named "Mixmaster".

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance4_Constructicons.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Not shown: Mixmaster learning to use a bone as a club.]]

In the distant past, the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]] Cube created [[Thirteen original Transformers|a race]] of powerful, trans-dimensional beings as the first inhabitants of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The Cube gave these beings mighty powers, as well as terraforming their world, but it was not limitless, and gradually became depleted. The first beings learned that the AllSpark's power could be replenished by harvesting the energy of stars, but they were unable to locate new stars to suit their purposes, despite their amazing ability to travel between dimensions. Once again, the Cube came to the rescue, creating a race of workers, who had the ability to change their shape.

The "Mixmaster" body-type was among the very first of these new beings, one of several "builders" who would construct a [[Solar harvester|harvester]] when a suitable sun had been found. Once built, the device would drain the energy of these stars, thus replenishing the AllSpark. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4}}

One of the Mixmasters was part of [[The Fallen]]'s early Decepticons. On [[Earth]], he and his brothers were sicced on the turncoat [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]]. Mixmaster was the last one standing and managed to get the Seeker in a crushing embrace, informing him "You die". Jetfire got out of this by teleporting into Earth's atmosphere, causing Mix's death by atmosphere re-entry. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3}}

It is presumed that at some point during the civil war on Cybertron, a surviving Mixmaster(s) sided with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the new protege of the Fallen.

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
[[Image:ROTFMegatronrebirth.jpg|thumb|250px|Can we fix him? Yes we can!]]
After the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]] shard was retrieved from [[NEST]]'s secure bunker at [[Diego Garcia]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]], Mixmaster, [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]], [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|another, smaller Constructicon]] secreted themselves aboard the ''[[Bayos]]'' freighter heading towards the North Atlantic. Once the ship passed over the [[Laurentian Abyss]], the Decepticons jumped overboard and dove down to where [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s broken body lay. Scalpel ordered the death of the smallest Constructicon to rebuild Megatron, a request that Mixmaster and the others obliged with. Soon, Megatron was reborn!

After Megatron killed [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], Mixmaster climbed the Brooklyn Bridge and knocked down the American flag in a display of dominance as [[The Fallen]] broadcast a worldwide message demanding the humans bring them the head of [[Sam Witwicky]].

Some time later, Mixmaster and another Constructicon with the same [[body-type]] were present in [[Egypt]] during [[Operation: Firestorm]]. Mixmaster and several other Constructicons waited in a quarry in their construction vehicle disguises until the [[human]]s [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Leo Spitz]] and their Autobot guardians [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] approached. The Constructicons [[combiner|combined]] into the mighty Devastator and attacked.

[[Image:Mixmaster-ROTFcannonmode.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Good luck figuring this out on my toy.]]

Elsewhere, the other Mixmaster fought against the NEST forces in the Egyptian town near the great ruins of the pyramids, using his cannon emplacement mode to cause serious problems, until the ex-Decepticon [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] arrived to slice him in half and crush his torso, killing him.

[[Image:ROTF Mixmaster death.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Jetfire stomps Mixmaster's head off (in case you were unable to see due to [[Michael Bay|motion blurs]])]]
Meanwhile, Devastator had shrugged off the Autobot twins and was busy demolishing the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] when Simmons called upon the [[United States Navy]] to attack Devastator. The [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S. ''Kidd'']] fired her experimental [[rail gun]], smashing one of his arms to pieces and destroying Devastator. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

**''Japanese ID number'' '''D2'''
:Mixmaster and the six other Legends class Constructicons combine to form Devastator. In Japan, the Legends class Constructicons are sold individually. Mixmaster has the dubious honor of pulling Devastator's face around like a rectal growth in robot mode. He forms (you guessed it) the head of Devastator.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Legends figure multi-pack, 2010)

*'''Mixmaster''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-12'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:Voyager Class ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Mixmaster transforms into a gray and silver cement mixer with purple windows and headlights, based loosely on the [[Wikipedia:Mack Trucks|Mack]] truck seen in the film. The vehicle mode's mixing drum is incapable of rotating due to the transformation, but does boast a pair of gigantic Decepticon logos on either side. The cement chute at the rear of the vehicle mode can accurately raise and lower on a hinge, and the cannon can be fixed to fire directly overhead or behind at pursuing vehicles.

: His robot mode is designed to be squat with very long arms, but in order to be fully functional and look like the stock photo, his legs at the hip joints must be slightly mistransformed from what is depicted in his instructions. This results in a robot mode that is very thin and lanky, with numerous joints on the extremely long arms alone. The packaging calls out [[Mech Alive]] gimmickry in the form of "spinning gears" on his chest, but the feature is only present at the thighs and forearms, which reveal shifting internal bits when the joints are rotated. The robot mode's missile-firing cannon is locked in place on its back pointing straight upward; it can be raised over Mixmaster's head, although this involves letting the cab hang loose on his back as it's designed to attach to the cannon. Alternately the toy can be transformed to its artillery cannon-like Battle Mode that has him essentially performing a belly flop, letting the launcher fire forward. At least, according to the Battle Mode's official depiction on the instructions.

[[Image:ROTFVoyager_MixmasterBattleMode.JPG|thumb|left|250px|BUMM]]
: The image of the cement mixer mode on the packaging has been flipped horizontally, leaving the location of the ladder switched. Additionally, the robot mode image on the packaging has a different mold for the mixing drum shells, with rectangular-shaped pegs rather than circular.

*'''Back Road Brawl''' (Figure multi-pack, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:Available only in the [[Toys"R"Us]]-[[exclusive]] "Back Road Brawl" figure pack with [[Hoist (Movie)|Hoist]], this release of Mixmaster features a new head that was gang-molded to Mixmaster, but until now went unused. His colour scheme has been extensively [[redeco]]ed in a layout resembling the [[Generation 1]] [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. He is decorated with a small [[tampograph]] reading "Ol' Lefty", a reference to how Generation 1 [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] formed [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]'s left leg.

====Combiner Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF_Devastator_combiner_toy.jpg|thumb|300px|My arms don't hurt anymore.... Wait.... WHERE ARE MY ARMS!?!?!?!?!?!]]
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)

:The Mixmaster component of the Devastator set becomes Devastator's head. He contains the lights and sounds for Devastator, as well as individual sounds for his vehicle mode. They are motion activated, which means he never, ever shuts up. As with the other Constructicon members in this set, Mixmaster does not have his own robot mode. To activate sounds (if you're willing to do so, that is), press down on a lever on Devastator's chest. Doing so will raise Devastator's mighty head and open his mouth, and cause one of a myriad of sounds to play, including: "I am.... DEVASTATOR!" "CRUSH... AUTOBOTS!" "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" "i am...DECEPTICON!". In Devastator mode, pressing the button down for a few moments also activate's his "vortex grinder". Transforming him back into his own component activates the transformation sound when the face cover is pulled from the underside of his truck mode, after that, he randomly starts making engine stalling noises whenever you look at it funny.

====Mega Power Bots====
[[Image:ROTF MegaPowerBots Devastator.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Sometimes it's just Orange Day.]]
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)
: [[Mega Power Bots]] Devastator is a simple toy for younger children, featuring plenty of playing sounds and flashing lights. His limbs have limited swivel articulation and do not detach into separate vehicles. He has a distinctly more humanoid stature than normal.

: Unlike regular [[Power Bots]], and unlike other portrayals of the character in general, Devastator features a transformation! It consists of putting his arms up and laying him flat on his stomach, which lets him roll around using the wheels on his limbs.

: Pressing down the Decepticon shield on his crotch (!) spins the vortex in his chest, lights up his eyes and makes him utter one of many Welker-recorded phrases, including [[Transformers: The Movie|"Prepare for extermination!"]], "Crush Autobots!" and "I am Devastator!" Pressing on the crane of his excavator arm makes a cannon blast sound effect, while pressing the cab of his loader arm turns the scoop into claws.

===Transformers (2010)===
====Legends Class toys====
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Legends, 2010)

:A [[Toys"R"Us]]-exclusive Generation 1-themed redeco of Legends Devastator and his components. Unlike Takara's go at the same idea, Mixmaster and the other Constructicons are mostly just lime green and gray, with the only bits of purple being their windshields. They do, however, have brown [[paint operation]]s on and around their wheels to simulate dirt.

{{-}}

==Notes==
*According to [[Ben Procter]]'s [http://conceptartworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ben_procter_rotf_12.jpg concept art], Mixmaster originally had a ''friendly'' face based on that of actor [http://www.giratempoweb.net/gallery/data/media/14/Brendan_Gleeson_1.jpg Brendan Gleeson]... and was apparently going to be an ''Autobot''. The early head design was actually put to use in the Generation 1 [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]]-themed [[redeco]] store exclusive, as well as the Legends Mixmaster.

*Apparently, a definitive and solid configuration for the Voyager Mixmaster toy's Battle Mode IS possible, for if one were to look carefully, one would see several design elements present in the toy that are indicative of a (most likely) thoroughly planned out transformation for the third mode. Unfortunately, none of these design elements are alluded to ''at all'' in the instructions, leaving many with nothing but guesses as to how it all fits together. Or in most cases, complete disregard for this mode altogether. But this does open the door for a lot of fanmode interpretations, which is always good.

*Mixmaster says "Listen up!" before changing to his battle mode. No voice actor is listed in the end credits, though.

:Voyager Class ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Mixmaster transforms into a gray and silver cement mixer with purple windows and headlights, based loosely on the [[Wikipedia:Mack Trucks|Mack]] truck seen in the film. The vehicle mode's mixing drum is incapable of rotating due to the transformation, but does boast a pair of gigantic Decepticon logos on either side. The cement chute at the rear of the vehicle mode can accurately raise and lower on a hinge, and the cannon can be fixed to fire directly overhead or behind at pursuing vehicles.

: His robot mode is designed to be squat with very long arms, but in order to be fully functional and look like the stock photo, his legs at the hip joints must be slightly mistransformed from what is depicted in his instructions. This results in a robot mode that is very thin and lanky, with numerous joints on the extremely long arms alone. The packaging calls out [[Mech Alive]] gimmickry in the form of "spinning gears" on his chest, but the feature is only present at the thighs and forearms, which reveal shifting internal bits when the joints are rotated. The robot mode's missile-firing cannon is locked in place on its back pointing straight upward; it can be raised over Mixmaster's head, although this involves letting the cab hang loose on his back as it's designed to attach to the cannon. Alternately the toy can be transformed to its artillery cannon-like Battle Mode that has him essentially performing a belly flop, letting the launcher fire forward. At least, according to the Battle Mode's official depiction on the instructions.

[[Image:ROTFVoyager_MixmasterBattleMode.JPG|thumb|left|250px|BUMM]]
: The image of the cement mixer mode on the packaging has been flipped horizontally, leaving the location of the ladder switched. Additionally, the robot mode image on the packaging has a different mold for the mixing drum shells, with rectangular-shaped pegs rather than circular.

*'''Back Road Brawl''' (Figure multi-pack, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:Available only in the [[Toys"R"Us]]-[[exclusive]] "Back Road Brawl" figure pack with [[Hoist (Movie)|Hoist]], this release of Mixmaster features a new head that was gang-molded to Mixmaster, but until now went unused. His colour scheme has been extensively [[redeco]]ed in a layout resembling the [[Generation 1]] [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. He is decorated with a small [[tampograph]] reading "Ol' Lefty", a reference to how Generation 1 [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] formed [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]'s left leg.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)

:The Mixmaster component of the Devastator set becomes Devastator's head. He contains the lights and sounds for Devastator, as well as individual sounds for his vehicle mode. They are motion activated, which means he never, ever shuts up. As with the other Constructicon members in this set, Mixmaster does not have his own robot mode. To activate sounds (if you're willing to do so, that is), press down on a lever on Devastator's chest. Doing so will raise Devastator's mighty head and open his mouth, and cause one of a myriad of sounds to play, including: "I am.... DEVASTATOR!" "CRUSH... AUTOBOTS!" "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" "i am...DECEPTICON!". In Devastator mode, pressing the button down for a few moments also activate's his "vortex grinder". Transforming him back into his own component activates the transformation sound when the face cover is pulled from the underside of his truck mode, after that, he randomly starts making engine stalling noises whenever you look at it funny.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)
: [[Mega Power Bots]] Devastator is a simple toy for younger children, featuring plenty of playing sounds and flashing lights. His limbs have limited swivel articulation and do not detach into separate vehicles. He has a distinctly more humanoid stature than normal.

: Unlike regular [[Power Bots]], and unlike other portrayals of the character in general, Devastator features a transformation! It consists of putting his arms up and laying him flat on his stomach, which lets him roll around using the wheels on his limbs.

: Pressing down the Decepticon shield on his crotch (!) spins the vortex in his chest, lights up his eyes and makes him utter one of many Welker-recorded phrases, including [[Transformers: The Movie|"Prepare for extermination!"]], "Crush Autobots!" and "I am Devastator!" Pressing on the crane of his excavator arm makes a cannon blast sound effect, while pressing the cab of his loader arm turns the scoop into claws.

:A [[Toys"R"Us]]-exclusive Generation 1-themed redeco of Legends Devastator and his components. Unlike Takara's go at the same idea, Mixmaster and the other Constructicons are mostly just lime green and gray, with the only bits of purple being their windshields. They do, however, have brown [[paint operation]]s on and around their wheels to simulate dirt.

==Notes==
*According to [[Ben Procter]]'s [http://conceptartworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ben_procter_rotf_12.jpg concept art], Mixmaster originally had a ''friendly'' face based on that of actor [http://www.giratempoweb.net/gallery/data/media/14/Brendan_Gleeson_1.jpg Brendan Gleeson]... and was apparently going to be an ''Autobot''. The early head design was actually put to use in the Generation 1 [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]]-themed [[redeco]] store exclusive, as well as the Legends Mixmaster.

*Apparently, a definitive and solid configuration for the Voyager Mixmaster toy's Battle Mode IS possible, for if one were to look carefully, one would see several design elements present in the toy that are indicative of a (most likely) thoroughly planned out transformation for the third mode. Unfortunately, none of these design elements are alluded to ''at all'' in the instructions, leaving many with nothing but guesses as to how it all fits together. Or in most cases, complete disregard for this mode altogether. But this does open the door for a lot of fanmode interpretations, which is always good.

*Mixmaster says "Listen up!" before changing to his battle mode. No voice actor is listed in the end credits, though.

==Synopsis==
===Autobot campaign===
{{cleanup|August 2009|This is clearly not up to our standards}}

The Autobot campaign begins with NEST Pilot Sgt. Epps reporting Decepticons in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. Upon the arrival of the Autobots, Major William Lennox tells them there are Decepticons in the perimeter and must not escape. [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] is sent to fight them. Ironhide then battles and defeats [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. When [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] gets word that Ironhide is missing, Ratchet heads out to find him and get him to safety. After locating Ironhide, his power is recharged and another Decepticon battle ensues. After annihilating Decepticon troops, Optimus battles [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]]. Upon his defeat and before Optimus deactivates him, Demolishor states "[[The Fallen]] shall rise again."

The Autobots then head to Burbank, California where a previously unknown fragment of the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]] has surfaced, now in possession of [[Mikaela Banes]]. [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] is sent to protect Mikaela when the Decepticons detect the fragment also. The Autobots learn that a second All Spark fragment held by the Americans has been stolen. Soundwave learns of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s location, and transmits it to the Decepticons. [[Breakaway (ROTF)|Breakaway]] is sent to defend a carrier fleet guarding Megatron's corpse in the [[Laurentian Abyss]] from the Decepticons. Despite his efforts, Megatron is reactivated.

On the East Coast, [[Sam Witwicky]] is kidnapped by the Decepticon troops and taken to an industrial park near his college. Ratchet manages to locate Sam in an abandoned foundry and sends Bumblebee the coordinates. Bumblebee rescues Sam and gets him to the extraction point, Grindor attacks, but Bumblebee manages to defeat him. To aid their allies against the Decepticons, Optimus decides to give them advanced weaponry and escorts the [[Axiom Gun]] to NEST headquarters. After getting the convoy to destination, the Autobots meet with Sam who is going to visit the deli where [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]] is currently working. With intel from Simmons, Sam has Bumblebee take him to the museum to seek out a robot named [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]]. While Sam looks for Jetfire, Bumblebee defends the museum from the Decepticon troops. Jetfire emerges from the museum and takes Sam through the inter-dimensional [[space bridge]] to [[Cairo]], Egypt, with the Autobots following.

Jetfire reveals the [[Dynasty of Primes]] have constructed a machine called the [[Solar harvester|Sun Harvester]] hidden in an [[Pyramid|Egyptian pyramid]]. He says the device destroys stars to harvest their energy. Upon arrival in the outskirts of Cairo, the Autobots search for Sam while evading Decepticon troops. After finding Sam, Optimus Prime takes him to the Tomb of the 12 Ancients. While Sam is in the tomb, Optimus defends it from Megatron and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Optimus defeats Megatron and Starscream, but they escape after Megatron impales Jetfire. Before dying, Jetfire lends his wings and parts to Optimus Prime. In the city Bumblebee faces Devastator who is leading the Decepticon troops attacking Cairo.

The Fallen reveals himself and the Sun Harvester. Optimus battles The Fallen, destroying him by impaling his face with his sword. The Fallen falls into the Sun Harvester, destroying it. With the Ancient Transformers avenged, [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] tells Optimus that Megatron is on a ship in a distant galaxy. Optimus then salutes his troops for their good work in stopping the Decepticons.

===Decepticon Campaign===

The Decepticon campaign begins in Shanghai with Sideways tracking down Autobots in his area. He then learns that Grindor has gone missing and Sideways must find, repair, and transport Grindor to the extraction site. Once Grindor is safe, he attacks Autobots protecting NEST arrays and infiltrates them with a [[viroid]]s, viruses that give the Decepticons access to NEST communications. Elsewhere, Long Haul destroys NEST bases located around the city of Shanghai. Ironhide emerges to fight Long Haul but is defeated. Starscream proclaims the victory as a message to Optimus Prime.

The Decepticons then head to Burbank, California. Soundwave has learned that Sam Witwicky has given a shard of the Allspark to Mikaela. They hope to recover the shard and revive Megatron. Long Haul destroys buildings, capturing men who may know Mikaela's location. However, the probe Starscream uses kills the first three before they can be of any use. Although the last engineer dies, Starscream is able to discover Mikaela's location. Long Haul is once again sent to recover her. Unfortunately, Starscream receives word that the Decepticon troops transporting Mikaela has been intercepted by the Autobots. After this, Starscream decides to kidnap NSA chief Galloway. After destroying several buildings owned by the front corporation Massive Dynamics, Starscream captures Galloway and places him under Decepticon control. Breakaway attempts to stop the Decepticons, but he is killed by Grindor.

With Galloway under their control, the Decepticons learn both the location of the All Spark shard and where Megatron's remains have been hidden. Soundwave dispatches [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] to retrieve the shard, while Starscream and Long Haul head to the Laurentian Abyss. Starscream destroys the turrets on aircraft carriers stationed at the Abyss, allowing the Decepticons to gain access to Megatron's remains. Long Haul uses the shard to raise Megatron back to life, who returns to the ''Nemesis'' and presents himself to the Fallen. Megatron believes he has failed, but the Fallen reveals that there is a machine that can create the energon needed to raise their army. The knowledge lies within Sam Witwicky. Megatron dispatches Grindor to retrieve the boy, and succeeds, but the Autobots rescue him when Starscream's extraction unit is defeated. However, their hunt for the boy has drawn out Optimus Prime. Megatron defeats Optimus and has Starscream destroy a museum that Sam entered, but he is not among the ruins. They learn he was transported to Cairo, Egypt via a Space Bridge created by Jetfire.

Megatron arrives on the outskirts of an Egyptian city and engages Autobots in combat. Jetfire and Bumblebee both challenge him, but are destroyed. Long Haul is then dispatched to destroy the Axiom Gun. With the last threats removed, Megatron goes to meet the Fallen at the harvester. However, Optimus survived his battle with Megatron and reveals that The Fallen has no way to make Megatron a Prime, as Primes are born, not made. Megatron then attacks and destroys his former master, but Optimus is able to destroy the harvester before it can destroy the sun.

With his initial plan ruined, Megatron returns to the ''Nemesis'' and activates the protoforms inside the ship, commanding his new army to arise.

==Technical errors and oddities==
* In the PC version, when you insert the game disc for the first time, the game crashes as soon as it reaches the Paramount logo screen. The only way to fix this is to restart your computer, however, the error will instantly return the next time you insert the disc, thus forcing you to restart your computer again. The only way to avoid this glitch is to keep the disc in your CD drive.

==Quotes==
"Today, one shall stand, and one shall fall."
:—'''Optimus Prime''' homages like its [[The Transformers: The Movie|1986]].

"All units: let the slaughter begin!"
:—'''Megatron''' does as well.

"Time to bust some Deceptichops!"
:—'''Ironhide''' continues the homage rampage.

"I still function!"
:—'''Megatron'''. No, the homages don't ever stop.

"I see a Decepticon, I attack a Decepticon."
:—'''Bumblebee''' kills and kills and kills.

'''Optimus''': We are accomplishing our objectives with great speed and less damage to the surroundings. 
'''Ratchet''': Except for the incident where Ironhide destroyed that ice cream truck. 
'''Ironhide''': It was emitting a Decepticon audio signature! 
'''Ratchet''': It was ''playing a song''.
:—As [[Kaiba-5|before]], Ironhide is way too trigger happy.

'''Starscream''': We Decepticons are always swift in battle! 
'''Grindor''': Although you, Starscream, are equally swift in retreating. 
'''Starscream''': I have ''never'' retreated! EVER! 
'''Grindor''': Of course not. You simply advance ''backwards''. 
''[Starscream roars in anger]''
:—Grindor takes up [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]'s job of dissing Starscream.

==Trivia==
*Throughout the North American levels, there are billboards for films such as [[wikipedia : The Island (2005 film)|The Atoll]], [[wikipedia : Bad Boys (1995 film)|Tough Guyz]], [[wikipedia : Armageddon (1998 film)|Earth's End]], and [[wikipedia : The Rock (film)|The Stone]].

*For destroying 250 Decepticons in the Autobot campaign, you earn the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiHsxQJ9ZOo Awesome] Achievement/Trophy.

*For destroying 350 Autobots in the Decepticon campaign, you earn the [[wikipedia : Bad Boys (1995 film)|Bad Boys]] Achievement/Trophy.

*Six episodes of the Generation 1 cartoon can be unlocked in the course of the game: [[S.O.S. Dinobots]], [[Fire on the Mountain]], [[War of the Dinobots]], and The Ultimate Doom, Parts [[The Ultimate Doom, Part 1|1]], [[The Ultimate Doom, Part 2|2]], and [[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3|3]].

*G1-style colour schemes for Ironhide and Starscream can be unlocked for both single and multiplayer modes. Additionally, a yellow colour scheme can be unlocked for Long Haul, making him more closely resemble a conventional (or [[Tonka]]) dump truck.

*As in the [[Transformers The Game|previous games]], [[Frank Welker]] returns as Megatron. He does not, however, voice any of the characters ([[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]], and [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]) he did in the movie.

*Several multiplayer levels feature advertisements for Coca-Cola.

*Fans of G1 will be pleased to find out that some Achievements/Trophies are named after episodes of the G1 cartoon, such as [[Carnage in C-Minor]] and [[Megatron's Master Plan]]. There's even an Achievement/Trophy titled You've Got [[The Touch]].

*So far, Starscream is the only boss who fight twice in the game.

*This game was [[Luxoflux]]'s last game.

==Differences between the Game and Movie==
* The Decepticons are not looking for the [[Matrix of Leadership]] as they did in the movie, but the solar harvester itself (in the movie they already knew where the harvester was).
* In the Decepticon campaign, it's said that the Decepticons were in Shanghai to look for Megatron's remains.
* Breakaway did not appear in the movie.
* In the movie, Bumblebee is still having troubles with his speech. In the game, he has completely regained his speech.
* In the game, Optimus Prime doesn't die in either campaign, so he wasn't resurrected in the game. The battle in the forest doesn't happen either, but there's a similar battle in Cairo against Megatron and Starscream, although Jetfire is also present.
* Jetfire's death is altered. In the movie, he commits suicide and gives his parts to Optimus. In the games, he is either stabbed by Megatron before giving his parts to Optimus (Autobot campaign) or killed by the player (Decepticon campaign). Also, in the movie there's a neat combination sequence for Jetfire's parts and Optimus. In the game...Prime just abruptly appears in Autobot HQ in the next cutscene wearing Jetfire armor. Talk about anti-climactic.
* In the movie, Sideways is killed by [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]]. In the Autobot campaign, he is killed by Ironhide (or whoever the player is), since although Sideswipe was later added to the game as downloadable content, he was originally absent from this game.
* Along with Sideswipe, [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]], [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] are absent from the game's story, and [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] is only mentioned briefly in the Decepticon campaign. The only [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]] to make an appearance, except as a part of [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]], is [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]] (as well as [[Constructicon Scout]]s very rarely being present as enemies in the Autobot campaign). Of the major human characters, [[Leo Spitz]] is not seen or mentioned during the game, and [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]] is only mentioned in a mission where the player has to escort Sam to the diner where he works.
* Like [[Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|other]] [[Revenge of the Fallen Movie Adaptation|adaptations]], the [[Tomb of the Primes]] is called the Tomb of the Twelve, while in the movie, there were only seven dead Primes.
* In the movie, Devastator is killed at the pyramids. In the game, he is killed in Cairo, meaning he never gets the chance to rip the pyramid apart, yet in the battle against The Fallen, the pyramid is open, revealing the solar harvester.
* The Autobots did not supply the humans with a weapon to battle the Decepticons in the movie.
* [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] speaks in a voice rather reminiscent of his [[Starscream (G1)|G1 counterpart]] in the movie. In the game, his voice is far deeper and more aggressive in nature, although he has the same voice actor.
* Similarly, Megatron is deep-voiced in the film. In the game, however, he has literally the [[Frank Welker|exact same voice]] of ''his'' [[Megatron (G1)|G1 counterpart]]. He even has the trademark laugh.
* In the game, the Decepticons have to fight their way past a Naval fleet in order to reach Megatron's remains. In the movie, they just sneak past them on a ship and then dive straight down.
* [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] is shown to be much more heavily damaged in the film, before his final moment, than in the game. For instance, in the film, his entire face is shown to be falling apart; in the game, it's fine.

'''Left alone in the Autobots' home base, Sari must defend it against an intrusion by the Constructicons.'''
:''German title:'' "'''Sari - Allein zu Haus'''" ("Sari - Alone at Home")
:''Polish title:'' "'''Nikogo nie ma w domu'''" ("No One's Home")

==Synopsis==
[[Image:TFA_Sari_No_One_Home_Bulkhead_freakout.JPG|thumb|left|[[Ironhide (G1)|"LEAKIN' LUBRICANT!"]]]]
At the Autobot base, [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] is going through his obstacle course and passes with ease. [[Sari Sumdac|Sari]] comes in and decides that anything a living hunk of metal can do, she can do better. Prowl allows her to proceed, but only at one quarter speed—which proves to be about a quarter speed too high for her as, a swinging crane arm clocks her in the back of the head, knocking her flat on her face. Sari starts complaining, and an amused Prowl consoles her, when [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] barges in, complaining about the sound of constant dripping. Tracking it down, he finds the drip in an oil leak in [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]]'s arm. [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] offers a tune up, but Bumblebee is adamant about being in perfect working order. His argument is weakend by the fact that when he rotates his arm around, drops of oil fly everywhere. Before a proper argument breaks out, [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus]] appears and turns on the news, which shows [[Mixmaster (Animated)|Mixmaster]] and [[Scrapper (Animated)|Scrapper]] robbing oil from an auto supply shop. The Autobots debate whether or not the two bots will remember them and note they have to get to them before [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]].

[[Image:Animated_Sarinoonehome_chocolate.JPG|thumb|Some stay dry and others feel the pain!]]
The Autobots transform and roll out, but Optimus stops Sari from following, pointing out that a) the last time she was near those two, they nearly took her head off, and b) a kid isn't going to be a match for a two-story robot. Prime catches up with the rest, and they head towards the pair's last known location, not noticing that Bumblebee's leak is leaving a trail straight to the factory. Sari, meanwhile, is moping over being left home...before realising she's been left home ''alone''! She then proceeds to stuff her face with chocolate, strap herself to a crane and have her own homemade funfair ride, and attempt Prowl's course at full pelt (which goes about as well as the first time).
The Autobots are en route with Bumblebee's leak slowly driving Bulkhead insane. After reaching his limit, he slaps an "I love Autobots" sticker on the hole, and it seems to solve the problem. Unfortunately, they are a little late, as Scrapper and Mixmaster have spotted the trail. Lamenting their inability to remember where they got the real good stuff, the Constructicons decide to follow the yellow twit's trail and see if it leads 'em to anything worth drinking.
Unknown to all and sundry, Megatron has picked up the [[Constructicon (Animated)|Constructicons]]' location. He hands [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] a barrel of oil and orders him to find the pair and bring them back, while at the same time avoiding confrontation with the Autobots. Blitzwing is happy to oblige, transforming to jet mode and heading for the city.

[[Image:TFA_Sari_No_One_Home_Sari_teddy_bear.JPG|thumb|left|200px|We will fight them in kitchens! We will fight them in the recrooms! We will fight them in the living rooms!]]
Meanwhile, the Constructicons have arrived at the factory, and Mixmaster promptly melts the door. Sari, hanging out in Prowl's room with her headphones on, doesn't hear the alarm go off. Scrapper has a sense of ''deja vu'' about the plant, convinced that they've been here and that something bad went down, but Mixmaster is unconcerned. Skatting through the hallways, Sari promptly runs into the Constructicons. Screaming at the top of her lungs disorients the two long enough for her to escape. Scrapper is convinced that Sari had something to do with their memory loss, while Mixmaster, still wanting some oil, tells him that they're staying.
Meanwhile, the Autobots have found nothing on their search. Bumblebee briefly mistakes a regular construction vehicle for Mixmaster, while Bulkhead sees what he thinks is Blitzwing, but isn't sure. Bumblebee decides to call in Sari, but she doesn't answer (unaware that Scrapper just accidentally crushed Sari's phone). When he sees the Autobots, Icy Blitzwing remembers that he is not to engage them, but Hothead and Random Blitzwing decide to crush them anyway. The Autobots try to draw him away from civilians, but they end up at a backed-up on ramp. With nowhere to move, Prime orders Ratchet and Bumblebee to clear the humans out while the he and the others take on Blitzwing.

[[Image:'sHome_Constructicons_Slip.jpg|thumb|200px|"Don'tcha know a kid always wins against two idiots?"]]
At the plant, Sari holds a council of war (with her teddy bear) and decides to fight them off herself. Arming herself with hockey pads, she puts on a helmet and picks up a hockey stick. As the intruders explore the rec room, Sari attacks, and but her hockey stick shatters. Hiding in Prowl's room until the Constructicons move on, she gets outside through a drainage pipe, reenters through the melted front gate, and contacts the Autobots in the communication center. Unfortunately, they are taking a pounding from Blitzwing, so Bumblebee tells her to hide until they can get there. Unwilling to wait, Sari decides to set a trap...with some nice, delicious cans of oil. Predictably, the two neutrals walk in and see Sari with three barrels ready. Mixmaster demands the oil, despite Scrapper's fear that's it a trap. He's right, for Sari uses the machines to dump it on the ground, causing Mix and Scrap to fall down and go boom and allowing her time to escape.

[[Image:'sHome_Autobots_Huddle.jpg|thumb|left|200px|[[Triple Takeover|We need zone defence!]]]]
Elsewhere, Blitzwing is dominating the Autobots, so Prime decides to end this with an [[Omega formation]]. Bumblebee goes in first, but his stingers do little damage. Then Bulkhead throws Prowl, allowing him to execute a high-speed kick, but Ratchet's attempt to finish off Blitzwing gets him taken hostage. At this point, however, Megatron orders Blitzwing to disengage, and he takes to the air.
At the plant, Mix and Scrap decide to take down Sari, but Sari sets up the factory machines to thrash them, put them on the assembly line, get riveted, magnetized, and dumped on the ground. Mix finally calls it quits, and the two roll out. When the Autobots return, they fear the worst upon seeing the damage, but Sari shows up and tells them how she drove them off. Prime apologizes for doubting her and offers praise for her bravery and ability to drive off Mixmaster and Scrapper—until he sees the candy wrappers...

[[Image:'sHome_The_End.jpg|thumb|200px-'sHome_The_End.jpg|Th-th-th-th-th-that's all folks!]]
On the road, Mixmaster and Scrapper are still fleeing Sari, when Blitzwing spots them. He offers them some oil, which Mixmaster remembers as the great stuff they previously had. He offers them more if they follow him, and the trio walk into the sunset. After all, Megatron has plans for them.

==Notes==
* A run of Season 2 episodes were first shown in Dubai, but this episode was not among them; instead, it was first seen in the UK.
* This episode was also aired at TFcon 2008.
===Animation or technical errors===
* When Megatron gives Blitzwing his mission objectives, while the camera is focused on his face, Blitzwing is miscoloured, with the beige torso sections opposite his cockpit now coloured purple.
* During several shots, the brow areas of the Constructicons are miscoloured, swapping colours on occasions.
* Once again, Optimus has a firetruck for his back half when he returns to base (though it was missing at his departure), but it's gone as soon as he transforms.

===Continuity errors===
* For about half of the episode, we see that Bumblebee is leaking oil out of his left arm. Bulkhead thinks it's annoying and makes a big deal out of it. Yet even after the battle is over, nobody even bothers to fix the (now-patched) leak.
* Although the sirens go off when the Constructicons break into the base, the Autobots seem to have had no way to detect it. Apparently, they just installed sirens for the hell of it.
* When Blitzwing leaves the Decepticon base, Megatron gives him one barrel of oil, but when he meets up with the Constructicons, he has two.
* Bumblebee's stingers [[To sell toys#Power Levels|have been rather inconsistently powered]]. In previous episodes, they've been able to shove [[Swindle (Animated)|Swindle]] back and take down a building, but do nothing to a regular construction vehicle, or Blitzwing.

===Transformers references===
* The same worker from "[[Nature Calls]]" reappears here, and he's even got a name in the credits: Sparkplug. And the fandom rejoiced.
* When Sari is listening to music in Prowl's room, she is humming the [[Theme song|"More than Meets the Eye" theme]] (despite the music being a completely different tune).
* [[Maramba Brothers Auto Supply]] is named after ''Animated'' director [[Irineo Maramba]].

===Real-world references===
* There's a general similarity between this episode and the movie ''[[wikipedia:Home_Alone|Home Alone]]''. Sari quotes [[wikipedia:Macaulay_Culkin|Macaulay Culkin]]'s character Kevin (see above), Scrapper acts as dumb as [[wikipedia:Daniel_Stern_(actor)|Daniel Stern]]'s character Marv, and Mixmaster has always sounded like [[wikipedia:Joe_Pesci|Joe Pesci]]...
* Bulkhead launching Prowl at Blitzwing is remarkably similar to the "Fastball Special" maneuver from X-Men comics, in which Colossus uses his super-strength to launch [[Wolverine]] at villains which Bulkhead did with Bumblebee in [[Along Came A Spider]].
* As Sari prepares for battle with the Constructicons, her hockey stick makes a [[wikipedia:Star_Wars|light saber]] sound effect when she swings it.

===Trivia===
* Blitzwing's jet mode seems to have VTOL capabilities.

* Blitzwing just stands around while the Autobots attempt to plot his downfall using a football huddle. Is he arrogant or just plain crazy? Yes.

* According to the [[Cartoon Network]] panel at [[BotCon 2008]], Mixmaster's line "What the front-end-loader was ''that''?" was originally scripted "What the forklift was ''that''?". However, BS&P caught the very intentional verbal similarity to a dirty dirty word, so the line was changed.

* Bumblebee leaks oil in a manner that is analogous to either blood or bodily waste. The Constructicons find said oil delicious.

* When in his alt-mode, Bumblebee's leak seems to come from his door—somewhere that oil is not usually found in a real car. Maybe this oil is used for the transformation process?

* While the Hothead and Icy personalities typically blast only fire or ice respectively, Random Blitzwing is shown using both at once.

[[Image:Breakaway_ROTF_render.jpg|right|300px|thumb|I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change...]]

In an army dominated by the ground bound, '''Breakaway''' stands out as an Autobot with flight capabilities. Not only that, but in a straight line, there aren't many fliers that keep up with him. In battle he uses this to his advantage, dispensing with any aerial acrobatics, and simply relying on bombing runs at super-sonic speeds to get the job done.

He has the cutest little face in the world.

Breakaway was the Autobots sole flier. He possessed a [[fusion beam sniper rifle]] that allowed for precision, long range attacks. Additionally, he could also release a heatwave which would overheat Decepticon weapons, allowing Breakaway to fight them hand to hand.

When the Decepticons assembled a force to resurrect [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] using an [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]] shard stolen by [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]], Breakaway, being the only flier at the time, was the only Autobot able to assist the besieged [[United States Navy]] fleet assigned to guard the area. Following his arrival, he began fixing their anti-aircraft guns to dispose of the Seeker forces attacking the ships, fighting [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]] drones off. Once the guns were repaired, Breakaway rescued several injured sailors that needed evac to their medical center in the radar station built for the fleet. Despite all this effort, the Constructicons managed to reactivate Megatron, and the Decepticons were once again a serious threat to [[Earth]].

:''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Breakaway transforms into an approximation of an [[Wikipedia:F-35 Lightning II|F-35 Lightning II/Joint Strike Fighter]]. His right arm features a rotary cannon with rotating barrel, activated by a gear-wheel embedded in his forearm. His Mech-Alive gimmick is located in his upper arms; turning his forearms makes the green gears turn. Breakaway does have a waist joint, but turning it is impossible because the tail fin (attached to his waist) tabs into his back. Surprisingly, unlike most deluxe figures, he actually has rolling landing gear.

:Due to a design issue Breakaway's head always looks skyward while in robot mode. His tiny head is on a ball joint, but it is locked in place by a clear plastic piece of his jet mode's canopy. As a result, Breakaway can't move his head at all. It's possible to fix this by disassembling the toy's fuselage and shaving down the clear plastic piece.

:Amusingly, the location of his head makes it look like he is riding himself in jet mode.

:Along with [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], Breakaway was initially released in two color schemes, a tan version and a less common dark bronze/gold version.

:Breakaway was [[retool]]ed to make ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Thrust (ROTF)|Thrust]].

'''Two Autobots try to make their way in Axiom Nexus and get more than they bargained for.'''

==Synopsis==
In [[Axiom Nexus]], [[Jackpot]] goes through interrogation by a rather crotchety member of the [[Department of Acclimation]]. He and [[Hubcap (G1)|Hubcap]] have wound up in the multiversal city after some sort of [[space bridge]] accident. Designated Jackpot III, [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Primax Cluster]], he is reunited with Hubcap and introduced to their guide, [[Scattorshot (Cybertron)|Scattorshot]], whose job is to introduce them to their new world. Over glasses of oil at a plaza-side pub, Scattorshot explains the way Axiom Nexus works to his offworlder guests, explaining such bureaucratic funfests as the [[Order of Bureaucratic Enlightenment]] and the [[Freelance Police Legion]], not to mention the vagaries of cross-dimensional travel. Jackpot regards the whole thing as just another travel stop, but Hubcap is uneasy about both the bureaucracy and the limitations placed on offworlders.

After Scattershot leaves them, the pair find their way to the somewhat seedy tavern [[The Blue Deployer]]. Jackpot makes the acquaintance of the owner, [[Cryotek (TransTech)|Cryotek]], while Hubcap attempts to win them some credits via gambling. Hubcap does well; playing cards against [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]], he is preparing to win a high-stakes round when a bizarre twist of Jackpot's luck-altering aura causes him to lose all his earnings, ''and'' the loan money they'd finagled in the first place.

As the two [[Autobot]]s debate their next move, Gutcruncher invites them in to talk business, offering them unspecified but well-paid work if they show up at a meeting the next day. Cryotek, noting that the Autobots' monetary options are severely limited, advises them to take him up on it, despite their misgivings.

The two arrive at a massive arena filling up with all manor of unsavory mechs; finally, Gutcruncher takes the stage to speak. He rouses the rabble with a speech declaring that they, the "low-techs", should have the true power in Axiom Nexus, power withheld from them by the [[Transcendent Technomorph]]s. He proposes a multi-faction alliance, an end to the fighting amongst themselves, to overthrow their oppressors, escape their gilded cage, and ''take over the city!'' ''Can! You! Dig it!?!''

Hubcap and Jackpot realize they're looking at the start of an uprising, but before they can do anything, a sniper shot from right behind them kills Gutcruncher in full view of the crowd. A nearby voice accuses the Autobots of the murder; they flee in the face of an angry mob set on vengeance. The Autobots narrowly escape a run-in with the [[Malignus|Malignus Revolutionary Army]], and Hubcap overhears on police radio that they are reported to be armed and dangerous.

Unable to find help from the other-universe versions of themselves that have passed through Axiom Nexus, the pair turn to Cryotek, who politely refuses to shelter the two fugitives but advises them to try the [[Widow's Cafe Cybertronian]] instead. Running out of ideas and options, Jackpot proposes trying to find the actual killer. Before they can consider the option very much, they literally run into a law-enforcement bot, who pursues them. As they flee, a thrilled Jackpot exults that they can't possibly catch them...

Later, they are well and truly caught, held at a police station by [[Cheetor (TransTech)|Commander Cheetor]], who cuts through their wheedling and informs them that of ''course'' they didn't murder Gutcruncher—it doesn't fit their profiles or abilities at all—but no mob is going to realize that. Cheetor says he's putting them under protective custody. Alarmed by the prospect of being stuck in one easy-to-locate place, Hubcap and Jackpot make a break for it. Cheetor isn't too concerned; he sends a seemingly invisible agent after them.

The escaped Autobots head for the Widow's Cafe Cybertronian, but have another run-in with the Malignus Revolutionaries before they can quite get there. Another stroke of Jackpot's luck gets rid of their six pursuers for a while, while simultaneously revealing the concealed police-bot who has been tailing them. [[Detectas]] introduces himself; Cheetor sent him to tail the Autobots in hope that they would lead him to the murderer. Despite his friendly demeanor, the two Autobots are keen to move on, particularly with the Malignus bots recovered from the previous incident and closing in again. After tricking the Malignus into falling down an elevator shaft near the entrance to the [[Heap]], the two Autobots take shelter in an abandoned building to rest and recover.

Soon they are confronted by [[Black Shadow]], whom Hubcap recognizes as one of Cryotek's employees. Black Shadow explains that he knows they couldn't have killed Gutcruncher—because ''he'' did the deed. He gloats that he can now kill the two Autobots and toss their corpses to the gangs to satisfy their need for vengeance, collect bounties for them ''and'' Gutcruncher, and leave the cops a dead end to boot. The Autobots flee, but Black Shadow splits into his robot form and [[Crossformer]] shell, and pursues them both.

While Jackpot battles the shell, Hubcap evades Black Shadow's robot component, and tricks a passing Decepticon into giving him a ride to [[Level 29]]. After a merry chase through [[Zone 6]], Black Shadow catches him in front of a band of Malignus bots, led by [[Dirge (Descent into Evil)|Dirge]], one of Gutcruncher's cohorts. When Black Shadow announces he's brought in the assassin, Hubcap confirms it—by playing back a recording of Black Shadow's own admission of the deed, pulled from audio backups of his own memory banks. Black Shadow points out that audio can be faked; Hubcap counters that he also has video showing Black Shadow killing Gutcruncher with a maser cannon. Black Shadow smirks and announces that he only uses photon blasters... which, Dirge quickly reveals, is the weapon that killed Gutcruncher. The mob sets on Black Shadow, and brutal justice is served.

As Black Shadow dies, his shell overloads, erupting in smoke and flame, just before it can deliver a killing stroke to Jackpot—lucky for him! He turns around and runs right into [[Airazor (BW)|Officer Airazor]]...

At his office, Cheetor sorts through the whole affair while Jackpot and Hubcap wait. The Malignus are in jail, an uprising has been averted, and many illegal weapons have been recovered from Gutcruncher's cache. The only remaining mystery is, who paid for the original hit on Gutcruncher?

Cheetor pays a visit to Cyrotek, who profusely professes his innocence. But after the police leave, Cryotek remarks to a barhand that Gutcruncher's revolution would have simply called down the full wrath of the TransTech on the Offworlder sections of the city, and that... would be bad for business.

Classified as "undesirables", Hubcap and Jackpot are shipped off-dimension post-haste. Jackpot is pleased that they'll be back on familiar territory... till he sees the smile on Cheetor's face as the transwarp field carries them away.

The pair land with a thud on an alien world, smashing a rampaging Decepticon named [[Killzone]] just before he could execute a random alien. The alien is quite grateful, if a bit confused by the turn of events. Turns out that Killzone has been ravaging the continent for days, drawn to the planet by some explosive glowing rocks that have been rising to the surface lately. The locals hate these rocks; first they caused mine and farming troubles, and now they're attracting violent space robot monsters. The two Autobots send a radio transmission, hoping to be picked up by Autobots. And while they wait for an answer, Hubcap and Jackpot offer to clean up [[energon (fuel)|all those pesky rocks]], all for free!

==Quotes==
'''Hubcap:''' "So, when do we get to go home?" 
'''Scattorshot:''' "Oh, that. Whenever. You just gotta apply for exit visas, an' the 'Techs will deliver you to your universe of origin... or at least an approved alternate reality. Provided, a' course, that you ain't been designated 'units of interest'." 
'''Jackpot:''' "And I'll take 'Ominous Terminology' for 500 shanix, 'Shot."

"''Expression of menace and unveiled hostility. ...Ironic yet mean-spirited quip.''" 
:—'''Black Shadow's Crossformer shell AI'''. It knows the words, my dear, but it will never master the tune.

"You are in Zoruul, capital city of Zegris. Please, are you to bring more terror as he did? If so, kindly strike us down in a more painless and efficient fashion, for we are running out of places to pile the rubble and the screams are disturbing the rest of the untouched."
:—'''Yurgeth''' is a practical-minded alien.

==Notes==
* Axiom Nexus is home to a whole host of teams, gangs, and subfactions. The [[United Anarchists League]] rule the [[Heap]], to the extent that anarchists will deign to rule anything. Gutcruncher notes in his speech that the crowd includes representatives of the [[Destructicon|Destructicons]], [[Free Technorgs League]], [[Scourges]], [[Destron Boys]], [[WildGuard]], the [[Neo-Mutant Liberators]], [[Beast-Riders]], [[Mayhem Attackers]], the [[Malignus Revolutionaries]] and the [[Junkion Rippers]]. He also mentions the [[Lightning Strikers]], [[Imperius Legions]], and [[Dinobots]].

===Cameos===
* The cameos fly fast and furious in this story, some more obvious than others. Axiom Nexus's offworld population includes two other versions of Jackpot, Gutcruncher's doorman [[Calcar]], Cryotek's thug [[Buzzbomb]], and a [[Hubcap (MW)|Hubcap]] who our Hubcap finds rather unsettling. Several characters aren't explicitly named, including Cryotek's [[Roulette|croupier]], Gutcruncher's [[Demolishor (Armada)|many-gunned thug]], and the mob of [[Camaro|Malignus]] [[Pick-Up (Malignus)|Revolutionaries]].

* At one point, a "large synthetic-flesh canine" walks past, which could be a [[Pretender Beast]] or any number of Beast Warriors such as K-9 or Wolfang.

* In addition to those bots who actually appear in the story, Gutcruncher makes reference to [[Bruticus (RID)|Bruticus]], [[Swerve (Cybertron)|Swerve]], and [[Mindset]].

* The illustrations reveal even more offworlders, including [[Delta Seeker]], [[Beastbox]], [[Squawktalk]], [[Signal Lancer]], [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]], [[Thrust (BM)|Thrust]], [[Apeface]], [[Manta Ray (G2)|Manta Ray]], [[Tigertrack]], [[Deep Cover]], and [[Crowmax]].

===Transformer references===
* Hubcap's ID card reads "[[Tech Spec|Strength=3]]".

* Jackpot describes himself as an [[Action Master]]; various Transtechs construe this to mean that he is a [[Nucleon]] addict. Several asides in the story explain some of how the Nucleon serves as a self-regenerating fuel source and a means of sudden power bursts.

* Jackpot and Hubcap are surprised to find that [[energon (fuel)|energon]] is not a currency in Axiom Nexus, but appreciate a currency format that isn't likely to explode, as energon is so often shown to do in the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoons]] and [[Marvel Comics|comics]].

* Jackpot: "Shall we make like a [[Scraplet]] and bolt?"

* Jackpot regrets the absence of [[Sights]], his [[Targetmaster]] partner.

* Jackpot notes the irony of them being unable to afford a disguise, which would have been in the form of a [[reformatting]].

* Cheetor mentions "three ''very'' strange mechs" who've just arrived -- a reference to [[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]], [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]] and [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skyfall]]'s transit at the end of "[[Crossing Over]]".

* While verbally harassing Jackpot about his "Nucleon habit", Stungun first quotes the Action Master tagline of "Stronger, faster, more alive", then parodies a line from the [[Transformers (2007)|2007 live-action film]]: "What else you into? [[Syk]]? Chips? [[Solitarium]]? Hit a little of the Old Fortran at nights?" Jackpot plays along: "[[Sam Witwicky|Are you on plugs]]?"

* Cheetor: "And anyhow, did you [[Furmanism|want to live forever or something]]?" (Jackpot and Hubcap: "''Yes.''")

* Hubcap tells the blue Decepticon hoverskiff (presumably [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]]) that he's been rigged with an [[Exponential Generator]].

===Real-world references===
* Jackpot, as quoted above, parodies the contestant format of the game show ''Jeopardy''.

* If you don't recognize [[Widow's Cafe Cybertronian]], then it's been too long since you watched ''Casablanca'' -- it's a stand-in for Rick's Cafe Americain, the club run by Humphrey Bogart's character. This of course makes [[The Blue Deployer]] an analogue of Sydney Greenstreet's competing club, The Blue Parrot. This is [[Theft of the Golden Disk|not the first time]] that a [[Cryotek]] has been based on Greenstreet.

* "They can't catch us! We're the ''wind'', baby!" Jackpot enthuses during a high-speed chase, paraphrasing ''Mystery Science Theater 3000''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Tom Servo.

* "This is another fine mess you let me get us into," says Jackpot, a play on a famous ''Laurel & Hardy'' line.

* "Didn't we just leave this party?!" Jackpot says, quoting [[Han Solo]].

* Boy, this thing borrows pretty heavily from ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080120/ The Warriors]'', doesn't it?

* "Old Fortran" is an alcoholic beverage made for robots in ''Futurama'', which was in turn a reference to the computer programming language [[Wikipedia:Fortran|FORTRAN]].

{{disambig3|Optimus Prime}}

:''Optimus Prime is the [[Autobot]] leader from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]]. He is also known as N.B.E.-02''

[[Image:MovieOptimusPrime_promorender2.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Freedom is the right of all sentient—oh, hell, you know the drill.]]

'''Optimus Prime''' is the leader of the Autobots. Once, long ago, he was co-ruler of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] together with his brother, Lord Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], but Megatron grew greedy and attempted to claim the [[All Spark]] for himself. Optimus rose to stand against him. As obsessively as Megatron strives to achieve his objective, Optimus is equally as dedicated to stopping him, even at the cost of his life, his world, and—if necessary—his own people. It was on his order that the All Spark was jettisoned to space. The sacrifices he has made weigh heavily on his [[spark]], but they must be done, for there is no other choice. He knows the ambitions that lurk in Megatron's spark, and they must never see the light of day. Lives must be kept free from the threat of Megatron's tyranny, no matter the cost.

{{quote|A necessary sacrifice to bring peace to this planet. We cannot let the humans pay for our mistakes.|Optimus Prime on sacrificing his life to destroy the [[All Spark]], ''[[Transformers (2007)|Transformers]]''}}

==Fiction==

===''Prime Directives'' prequel comics===
[[Image:Optimusprimemovieprequel.jpg|left|thumb|200px|All Primes are required to have window chests.]]

For two generations, Optimus Prime ruled [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] side-by-side with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. The two personalities created a balance; Prime was fair while Megatron was firm. However, when Megatron revealed his intentions to steal the [[All Spark]] and use it for evil, selfish gain, Prime reacted accordingly. He formed the Autobots, a militia from the civilians around him, but they fared terribly against Megatron's armies, the Decepticons. Ultimately, Prime was forced to eject the All Spark into space to keep it from his nemesis. Unfortunately, Megatron tracked the All Spark to [[Tyger Pax]], where [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s unit was trying to slow down the Decepticons. Prime and the Autobots were held up in [[Simfur]], and unable to come assist. Fortunately, Bumblebee's unit succeeded, and the All Spark was ejected into space, but Cybertron was sentenced to a slow death. The Autobots were forced to abandon the planet.

Thus the focus of the war between Autobot and Decepticon shifted. The All Spark's ejection was only a stall. No longer did Prime have to keep Megatron from stealing the All Spark, instead Prime and his Autobots must hunt down the All Spark, wherever in the universe it landed, before Megatron could. {{storylink|Prime Directives}}

===Titan Magazines===

When war broke out, Optimus studied the entire history of intergalactic warfare from any datatrack he could find - he studied whole campaigns to desperate last stands, gaining a focused "playbook" of warfare strategy. He understands warfare on a practical and psychological level, and in desperate battles knows to show no mercy to opponents beyond a swift death. <ref>(''Autobot VS Decepticon Smackdown! - Megatron V. Optimus Prime'', #4)</ref>

Optimus was the focus of constant attacks by assassin drones and killed them all. In the aftermath of one, he witnessed a prophetic vision of the [[Mission City]] battle and realised the All Spark's ejection could spread war to other planets—but too late to stop the launch... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 1}}

===Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday prequel novel===
Optimus Prime led the search for the All Spark in the ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]'', a transport vessel. When they came across an abandoned solar system, they located [[Ghost One|a vessel]] of strangely Cybertronian design, and of Decepticon make. When the vessel fled to the surface of a planet, Prime dispatched Bumblebee to investigate, while he and the Autobots battled Decepticons from the ''[[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]''. Prime managed to defeat [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]], [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], and [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] all on his own. After losing touch with Bumblebee, Prime went down to locate him, where they were attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and the alien ship. They fell into a cavern network, where they were further attacked by [[sandworm|indigenous worms]].

Coming across the alien vessel, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee communicated with its crew. Optimus explained that they came in peace, "freedom is the right of all sentient beings", Starscream tricks everyone, and so on. However, the creatures, who called themselves "[[human]]s", explained that they held Megatron, who they called the Ice Man, on their homeworld, [[Earth]]. Realizing the destruction Megatron would wreak upon the humans if he escaped, and that the humans would be unable to effectively defend themselves, Prime vowed to see them return to their world to warn it. In the ensuing battle with the Decepticons, the humans saved Prime's life by attacking Starscream, who destroyed them. Optimus Prime was inspired by their courage and sacrifice, and resolved to locate Earth before the Decepticons did—and hopefully before Megatron came back online.

:''Voice actor:'' [[Peter Cullen]] (English), [[Tesshō Genda]] (Japanese), [[Guilherme Briggs]] (Brazil)

[[Image:Movie_OptimusPrime_protoform.jpg|right|thumb|200px|There have been worse crashes]]

The leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime came to Earth shortly after [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] sent his comrades a beacon. Upon atmospheric reentry, Prime managed to land outside of [[Tranquility]]'s inhabited areas. After scanning the form of an Earth truck and reconfiguring his body to transform into it, Prime, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] met up with Bumblebee and his human friends, [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Mikaela Banes]] in an alley. In one of the most extended [[transformation]]s in the multiverse, Prime assumed his robotic form before the stunned humans. After confirming Sam's identity, Prime introduced himself and his team. When Mikaela asked of the Autobots intentions, Prime explained the search for the All Spark, the betrayal of Megatron, and why Sam was important to their search.

Glasses that belonged to Sam's ancestor, [[Archibald Amundsen Witwicky|Captain Archibald Witwicky]], contained the location of the All Spark encoded across its lenses, so Optimus Prime ordered his troops to wait outside Sam's house while Sam and Mikaela searched inside for the glasses. Much to Sam's exasperation, Optimus Prime, in his impatience, clumsily ruined his parents' garden, and the Autobots' heavy footsteps convinced them there was an earthquake. Prime's attempts to hide, such as having the Autobots transform into vehicle mode right in the backyard, were also less than satisfactory. Ultimately, Sam came so close to a panic attack that Prime was forced to order the Autobots to fall back. As Prime lectured his team on their supposed inability to remain quiet, Ratchet got himself shocked by walking into some powerline, causing further problems. When [[Ron Witwicky|the]] [[Judy Witwicky|parents]] came to investigate, Prime's attempt to avoid discovery caused the house to shake, though this was to their benefit, as the father assumed that the damage to the yard was the result of an earthquake. Ironhide suggested that they kill the parents, but Optimus scolded his old friend. Despite all this, their presence remained undetected until [[Sector Seven]] arrived (in a convoy of GMC Yukon's) and abducted Sam, Mikaela, and Sam's parents.

[[Image:Movie_PrimeSam_parentsfreakout.jpg|left|thumb|250px|At least Prime didn't throw a rock at your window.]]

Optimus Prime sent the Autobots in pursuit of the SUV that contained Sam, Mikaela, and Sector Seven's director, [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons]]. Prime intercepted the vehicle carrying their young human friends, ripping the roof of the vehicle off, with the other Autobots disarming the agents, and Optimus attempted to interrogate Simmons. The agents lack of surprise at their appearance indicated that they had seen Cybertronians before, but Simmons refused to reveal any information. With a Sector Seven backup team en route, Prime ordered the Autobots to scatter, while he took Sam and Mikaela. While hiding under a bridge, Mikaela and Sam slipped and fell off Prime's shoulder. Bumblebee managed to catch them before impact, but was captured, and Sam and Mikaela recaptured, by the organization after their retreat.

Optimus Prime, now in possession of the glasses which can tell him the location of the All Spark, regrettably leaves Bumblebee in Sector Seven's hands, knowing that if they went after him, they would have to use deadly force. After regrouping the next day, Prime used the glasses to locate the All Spark. Jazz raised objections to leaving Bumblebee behind, but Prime remained firm in his belief of not harming the humans. Ironhide seemed okay with using deadly force, stating the humans were too violent, but Prime reminded him of the [[Cybertronian Civil Wars|Cybertronians' own violent history]]. Going to explain the potential he saw in the humans, as well as reminding them that "freedom is the right of all sentient beings", Prime revealed to the Autobots his real plan for the All Spark: if they could not defeat the Decepticons, Prime intended to merge the Cube with his [[spark]]. Though this would destroy the All Spark, Ratchet cautioned Prime against this, as it would also kill him. Prime believed that this was acceptable, vowing not to let another race suffer the mistakes of the Transformers. The glasses placed the All Spark at [[Hoover Dam]] where, luckily, Bumblebee and the young humans were taken.

[[Image:Prime sword.JPG|thumb|200px|right|Swiss army Prime]]

Optimus Prime's team met up with Sector Seven, Bumblebee, Sam, and Mikaela en route, who had planned to hide the All Spark in nearby [[Mission City]]. While on the highway, he was attacked by [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]], who managed to tackle Optimus and drag him over the edge of a freeway overpass. During the battle, Optimus struck the rage filled Transformer so hard his [[optic]] popped out. As the Decepticon swung his claw wildly, Optimus drew his sword from his right arm and sliced off one of Bonecrusher's arms, before brutally finishing off his enemy by driving the blade through Bonecrusher's neck, severing his head.

[[Image:Movie_OptimusPrime_citytransformjump.jpg|left|thumb|175px|And in the red corner, weighing in at...a lot, THE TRUCKER!]]

Optimus arrived at Mission City just in time to observe Megatron discarding the remains of Jazz, and challenged him. Millennia in the ice had done nothing to lessen Megatron's hatred of his brother, and he launched himself in jet mode at the Autobot leader. Optimus leaped and grabbed hold of the wings, which was a really bad idea, as Megatron drove himself and Prime through an office block. As they flew out of the building onto the street below, Megatron transformed and leapt on top of Prime, declaring the humans undeserving of life. Prime rejected his claims, saying that they deserved to chose for themselves. Megatron threw Prime across the street, declaring that if he wished to defend the humans, Prime could die with them. He then formed his [[fusion cannon]] from his forearms. The power up time allowed Prime to draw his [[ion blaster]] and fire, hitting Megatron. The Decepticon used the momentum to spin around, then used the fusion cannon to blast Prime across the street into another building. Megatron then resumed the hunt for Sam and the All Spark.

Tracking Megatron to the deserted building, Prime barely managed to catch Sam after Megatron knocked him off the roof. Telling the boy to hold onto the Cube, Prime attempted to scale down the building, but Megatron jumped on Prime, causing them both to fall down hard onto the street below. Sam survived, however, and Optimus told the boy that if he could not defeat Megatron, Sam must put the All Spark into his chest which would destroy it. As Sam sought cover, Optimus faced down Megatron, and informed him that, "At the end of this day, one shall stand, one shall fall". Unfortunately, Megatron, even after years of stasis, proved to be far too powerful for Prime to defeat alone. The unit led by Lennox and the Raptor squadron laid down suppressing fire as Megatron reached for the All Spark, until Optimus finally took him down by sweeping his legs. Still, Megatron continued, crawling toward the cube. Believing he had lost, Optimus implored to Sam to put the All Spark into his chest. Sam instead thrust it into Megatron's chest, eventually killing the Decepticon leader and destroying the All Spark.

[[Image:Allsparkshard.jpg|right|thumb|200px|The Autobot Dorito of leadership]]

As Optimus watched his brother die, he regretfully said there was little other choice. He also told Sam he owed him a debt of gratitude for saving his life, but was then informed that Jazz had not survived. Prime briefly eulogized his comrade, then commented that they had gained new comrades in the humans, and was honored by their bravery. Bumblebee, who had finally regained his voice, requested permission to remain with Sam Witwicky, to which the young human eagerly agreed, and Optimus approved. He noticed a fragment of the All Spark in Megatron's chest cavity and removed it, then permitted the humans to dispose of the Decepticon corpses by dumping them into the deepest part of the ocean.

Though Megatron was killed and his Decepticons were defeated, the All Spark was destroyed, leaving the Autobots unable to restore Cybertron. The Autobots elected to remain on Earth, and Prime sent a message into deep space to any surviving Autobots in the Galaxy to come to their new home on Earth, their long years of searching having finally having come to an end. As the other Autobots rested (and watched Sam and Mikaela make out) Optimus Prime looked to the sky, hoping his message had been heard.

===''Transformers'' The Game===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Peter Cullen]]

Optimus Prime provides intelligence and missions to Bumblebee in his search for the All Spark. Eventually, the clues lead the Autobot to Sam Witwicky. After saving Sam from Barricade, Bumblebee finally completes preparations for the Autobots to arrive on Earth.

Once on Earth, and having informed the two teenagers of their mission, Prime and the Autobots are discovered by Sector 7. Optimus sends Jazz on a high-speed <strike>destruction</strike> distraction mission, then sends Ironhide to rescue Jazz from a double-threat posed by the government agents and various Decepticon scouts.

When Bumblebee is captured, Prime transforms and chases the chopper which from which the small Autobot is tied. After a lengthy chase, Prime manages to catch the net, only to be thrown off by another Cybertronian meteor. As Bumblebee is carried away, Optimus promises he will not fail him again. Jazz informs him that the meteor is not an Autobot. Prime confronts the new threat, who turns out to be the Decepticon triplechanger [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]]. The two battle it out across [[Tranquility]] before Optimus finally destroys him. But not without overhearing [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s transmission revealing the location of the All Spark.

Optimus then returned to an intel role as he guided Bumblebee in his mission to retrieve the All Spark from Hoover dam. Unfortunately, the Decepticons manage to free Megatron, leading to the final battle in Mission City.

As the Autobots battle it out with the Decepticons to protect Sam and the All Spark, things seem to take a turn for the worst as Megatron finally arrives. But before he can claim the cube, Optimus attacks him.

The two battle it out until Megatron is finally on the ground, seemingly devoid of life. Optimus then kneels to as Sam hands it to him. Megatron however awakens, leaping at Optimus with his chain-flail out, and making one last attempt at defeating his adversary. Optimus grabs the chain, pulling Megatron in closer, and with the All Spark clutched in his fist, delivers a punch through Megatron's spark. As Megatron dies, Optimus reflects on the losses and rewards of this battle, as the Autobots have a new home. Optimus plans to guard the humans in secret, "For freedom is the right of all sentient beings."

Note: If played in Decepticon mode, Optimus is beaten to the ground, and as he crawls for the All Spark, Megatron smashes his head with his flail before using the cube to destroy humanity.

===''Transformers: Autobots''===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Peter Cullen]]

Arriving late on Earth, Optimus meets up with the other Autobots to give further commands to his troops. [[Create-A-Bot (Autobot)|Create-A-Bot]], the new rookie, is eager to help in the cause, but Optimus tells him to sit back while the grown-ups take care of business. Getting fed up with the bureaucracy, Create-A-Bot finally defies orders and completes a mission against Optimus's council. After nearly getting himself and the other Autobots killed, Create-A-Bot apologizes to Optimus personally. Taking pity on the newcomer, Optimus lets him off with a stern warning, and they move out together to face Megatron. During the fight, Create-A-Bot sacrificed himself to save his commander. Megatron defeated, Optimus commended the young Autobot as a war hero, and sent out an interstellar message to any Cybertronians living among the stars.

===''Transformers: Decepticons''===

Landing on Earth, Optimus quickly joins the other Autobots to attempt to stop the Decepticons. He doesn't actually appear, however, until Megatron himself is released and Starscream escapes with the AllSpark. He steps in to thwart the maniacal leader of the Decepticons, but alas, is struck down, left in the streets while Megatron gives chase to his traitorous second-in-command. You can ironically cheat by jumping on a building and shoot him then.

*'''Protoform Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-05'''

[[Image:Movie_ProtoformOptimusPrime_toy.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Spaaaaaaace speeeeeerrrrm!]]

:Based upon the 'Protoform' (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the Movie, Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his 'Entry' mode cybertronic comet thing. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the 'vehicle', creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. Oddly, it has NO [[automorph]] gimmick at all, a feature most main-line figures have.

:In robot mode he resembles previous Optimus characters - his angular chest windows are reminiscent of ''[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], while his near animalistic limbs and color scheme are evocative of ''[[Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal]]. He has excellent articulation due to his many ball joints, and is armed with a rifle. The flame attachment can fit onto the end of the (non-firing) gun barrel.

:Some packaging variants of this figure (perhaps a Wal-Mart exclusive) included a free movie poster depicting a Cybertronian eye overlooking Earth. While an added sticker to the outer plastic bubble says "Exclusive movie poster!", it is more of a preview of upcoming figures.

:This mold was also [[redeco]]ed into a Japanese-exclusive "Fusion Cluster" version, using orange paint and translucent plastic to mimic the effects of atmospheric entry.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-01'''

[[Image:MovieLeader_OptimusPrime_toy.jpg|right|thumb|350px| Y'think Prime got a makeover? We have it on good authority that Movie [[Roller]] is a kicked-out low-rider with a jammin' sound system and neon-purple undercarriage lighting. ]]

: The largest ''Movie'' Optimus Prime toy, Leader Class Optimus Prime features the most accurate representation yet of the CGI designs' complex transformation sequence, the only difference being the arms which are placed behind the cab while they constitute the hood in the CGI model. He transforms into a heavily-customized [http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379] conventional extended-hood truck, and unusual for a mainline figure, he has rubber tires on all his wheels. His Ion Blaster weapon is stored in the rear of the truck's bunk, exposed like an engine block. Though Optimus has no trailer, he has hole where the fifth wheel (known among fans as a 'hitch') is sculpted in the rear of the truck, should owners find a suitable trailer to use. Due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]], the tips of his long smokestacks are made of a soft, flexible material. A switch on top of the cab roof activates horn sounds and window lights.

: Featuring a complex transformation, essentially the front and back ends of the truck fold and converge to become Optimus Prime's legs, as much of the truck rear is connected to the robot thighs via a series of folding panels. The rear wheel cowlings feature a hinge joint in the middle of them so they do not impede his knee articulation. The rear cabin of the cab, directly connected to the smokestacks, rotate and connect to his torso and unfold into his arms. As with most mainline Movie toys, Optimus Prime features [[Automorph]] gimmicks, and due to his pricepoint has three of them. Firstly, during initial transformation, rotating his front fenders to become his heels flips the top parts of the grill to become his toes. Secondly, sliding out the the double-barrel cannon in his right forearm flips out his spring-loaded Ion Blaster, which lands into place for his right hand. (The Ion Blaster can actually be popped off his forearm fairly easily, held in place by a simple clip.) Optimus' final Automorph, located in his torso, is activated by flipping the silver lever on his stomach activating a series of spring-loaded actions where they push the truck windows part, raises the lever between them and allows the head to spring up from the chest cavity. At this point yellow LEDs light up the chest windows and Optimus Prime's eyes, accompanied by a 'powering up' sound effect.

: Optimus Prime has a wide range of articulation for a relatively bulky figure. He has ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips and knees, with swivel joints and ball joints supporting them in his biceps, lower knee joints and ankles. Again, unusually for a mainline figure, especially at the Leader pricepoint, his hands have individually articulated fingers and thumbs.

:The left and right biceps/upper arms of Optimus Prime have been swapped around due to an assembly error. The side of the biceps with the circular molded elbow joints are supposed to face outwards instead of the side with the screw holes. This crates no problem in terms of articulation or transformation, but to correct this purely cosmetic issue, one needs to remove Prime's arms from his shoulders (taking care not to lose the ratcheting joints' springs and gears), then take apart the lower arms to swap the biceps around.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legends, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_Legends_Prime_toy.jpg|thumb|left|Shortening the smokestacks is good, it makes the toy safer, but removing ONE and keeping the other? Crazy.]]

: Legends class Optimus Prime is an ''extremely'' simplified toy of the extremely complex movie design. As such, he features numerous unavoidable inaccuracies, such as not transforming or even looking very much like the original design or the larger toy versions in robot mode. However, proportionally Legends class Optimus Prime is not far off from the real truck and the Leader class toy's vehicle mode, aside from missing a smokestack on the driver's side. he is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via ball-joints.

[[Image:Movie_Robovision_OptimusPrime_toy.jpg|thumb|right|200px|I'd hate to see what those smokestacks looked like BEFORE Hasbro shortened them.]]

: A Target-[[exclusive]] repaint of the Voyager class Optimus Prime (see below), this limited edition version boasts a "Supermetal finish", resulting in silver metallic paint covering much of his paintable gray/silver plastic, a much higher contrast in his red and blue plastic colors and improved 'flame' paint decorations.

: Unusually for the smaller Voyager-class of toys, [[Robo-Vision]] Optimus Prime comes packed in robot mode in a special hexagonal column box with many windows, similar to the original packaging for ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime. The package also includes a [[Robo-Vision Decoder]]. Strangely, this Target exclusive preceded the release of the regular Voyager by a large margin, coming out on June 2, 2007 with the initial wave of movie toys.

* '''Leader for the Ages''' (Figure two-pack, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_LeaderfortheAges_2pack.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The more things change, the more they, uh, get bigger guns.]]

: This Wal-Mart [[exclusive]] two-pack contains the ''Fast Action Battler'' Power Hook Optimus Prime toy, designated "2007 Optimus Prime", and the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] toy from ''The Ultimate Battle'' DVD two-pack. Both toys are identical to their normal individual releases.

: For some reason the ''Classics'' Optimus toy is designated "1984 Optimus Prime" on the packaging, even though it was released in 2006... but, well, he ''looks'' like Prime from '84, so hey, what the hell.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-13'''

[[Image:Movie_Voyager_OptimusPrime_toy.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The last one of you out of here gets a... gets a lead salad!]]

:The mid-range Voyager class ''Movie'' Optimus Prime toy transforms into an amalgamation of the Kenworth W900 and the Peterbilt 379, making this toy fairly inaccurate to the actual vehicle Optimus Prime turned into. Because of the smaller size and lessened complexity, the Voyager class Optimus Prime features a significantly different transformation sequence compared to the Leader class toy, and indeed, the actual CGI design. However, as the actual truck cabin no longer forms his chest, the cabin now features an small interior with opening doors and a non-removable cowboy-hat-bedecked driver figurine that flips out of the seat when the driver's side door is opened.

: In robot mode, Voyager class Optimus Prime is proportionally more accurate to his CGI design than the leader class toy and has a more accurate headsculpt, but due to the aforementioned lessened complexity significant sacrifices had to be made, such as "cheats" to the transformation sequence to achieve this and thus he is overall less accurate than he initially appears. In addition to previously mentioned changes, he carries much of the truck's front hood, grill and fenders on his back like a backpack. However, he maintains a superb level of articulation and posability.

: Optimus Prime is armed with two large rifles formed out of a combination of both smokestacks and fuel tanks. These rifles peg into lower arms with grips for his open hands. The under-slung fuel tanks can fire spring-loaded projectiles. In vehicle mode, both smokestack rifles can be deployed as twin cannons, and this mechanism can also be used to store the rifles and deploy them as shoulder guns in robot mode.

*'''Nightwatch Optimus Prime (UK)''' (Leader, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_Leader_Nightwatch_OptimusPrime_2007.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Either this is [[Ultra Magnus]] or [[Nemesis Prime]]]]

: The first Nightwatch Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of the previously released Leader-class Optimus Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black. In fact, he resembles the original [[Diaclone]] Powered Convoy color scheme of ''Generation 1'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus's]] truck cab. The previously blue and red flames have been replaced with silver flames, as has various other decos, replaced by copper.

: This version was released in the UK several months before the ''AllSpark Power'' version. Available exclusively through Argos stores, it came in an American-style box with the original Movie packaging design.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Robot Replica, 2007)
[[Image:Optimusprimemovierobotreplicas.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Sword attachment arm sadly not included.]]

: As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] line, this version of Optimus is a non-transforming action figure that utilizes [[Revoltech]]-style jointing. The sculpt hews much closer to the movie CGI model than is possible with the full transforming toys, plus the universal jointing of the line allows for his forearm to be replaced with his hand-cannon... or bits from other Robot Replicas.

Won by [http://www.TFW2005.com TFW2005.com] member James Zahn, this one of a kind (well, two of a kind) piece is a almost fully vaccum-metalized Leader class Optimus Prime in red, silver and blue (based heavily upon ''Generation 1'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]), presented with a custom display base with an embossed silver Autobot sigil and a perspex display case.

: The second Nightwatch Optimus Prime was released as part of the "[[AllSpark Power]]" second half of the Movie line. He is similar to the first version of Nightwatch Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black, retaining his resemblance to Diaclone Powered Convoy in most respects. However, the subdued black and copper on the first Nightwatch Prime have been replaced with gold and a ''very'' bright blue, to signify the All Spark energy affecting the Transformers.

: Another difference is that this version comes in an ''AllSpark Power''-style box instead of the original style.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (3" Robot Masters, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_TitaniumRM_Prime.jpg|thumb|right|120px|"Groovy!"]]

: Partially constructed of die-cast metal, this small three inch figurine of Optimus Prime has a CGI-accurate sculpt compared to the larger toys, owing to the fact it does not need to transform at all. He is sculpted with his Ion Blaster in his right fist, and is articulated at the neck, shoulders and waist. He comes with a small movie-style Autobot sigil display stand.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (3" Robot Masters Multi-pack, 2007)

: This Target-exlusve set contains the normal 3" [[Titanium Series]] Optimus Prime figurine (see above), a Protoform Optimus Prime figurine, and Optimus Prime in his Earth-mode truck form, making this the first time a character has appeared in their alternate mode as part of the Robot Masters sub-series.

*'''Optimus Prime Voice Changer''' (2007)

[[Image:MoviePrime_Voicechanger_helmet.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Hardly ''anyone'' was wearing these damn things at [[BotCon 2007]].]]

:A highly CG-accurate sculpt of Optimus Prime's head with a built in voice-changer. It also has several sound effects and quotes from the movie. The voice-changer has three settings, giving more accurate alteration of the user's voice (though this is still debatable; most voice changing technology is pretty crummy, at least in toys). Much like the Ultimate Bumblebee figure, this toy will hate your wallet too. While it only costs 30 bucks, if it's anything like another Hasbro voice changer, it will suck batteries up like they were [[Energon Cube|some kind of square candy holder.]]

: There are two versions of the voice changer helmet with two different pre-recorded voices. An earlier release features a voice similar to [[Garry Chalk]], while the later release features the voice of [[Peter Cullen]]. The latter version has modified packaging under the 'Try Me!' blurb, stating it has 'Real Movie Voice!', though the updated version has also appeared in the original packaging without the 'Real Movie Voice!' notice.

*'''Optimus Prime Battle Rig Blaster''' (2007)

[[Image:MoviePrime_BattleRigBlaster.jpg|thumb|right|Nor these!]]

:The Optimus Prime Battle Rig Blaster transforms from a superdeformed amalgamation of his ''Movie'' truck and G1 Optimus Prime's truck (indeed pulling G1 Prime's trailer) to robotic forearm and hand with a built in Nerf style gun. By simply placing your hand inside the back of the trailer (I need an adult!) and pulling back on the front of the truck, the gun transforms and folds back into a weapon. It uses Nerf N-Strike size darts.

*'''Optimus Prime''' Burger King free toy (2007)

:The BK tie in toy of Optimus Prime is essentially two toys in one. The first part of the toy consists of two truck halves, which snap together around a sculpted robot mode Optimus Prime. The truck is squat, and primarily blue, with outbursts of chalk gray paint and red flames. Pulling back and letting go activates the gimmick: Prime "drives" forward and bursts from the truck mode, "transformed" to robot mode. This gimmick has marginal success.

:The "robot mode" of Optimus Prime is where the pullback motor and working wheels of the toys lie. Optimus is sculpted in blue plastic, pre-posed in an odd crouching pose with zero points of articulation. His right knee is bent back, with his right arm touching his knee, while the left side has the leg forward and the left hand holding onto his butt. The toy is as sparsely painted as the truck, with light blue eyes and chest windows, gray hands and feet among other parts, and red forearms. Two panels on his back have red flame tongues on them.

:Optimus Prime's torso attaches to the bottle of bubble bath. His elbows bend, and his arms have a punching gimmick, to allow him to battle evil even in the shower. Pushing a lever on either side makes the respective fist punch forward. He's removable, though not as easily held without the bottle below his waist.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Movie_Primetruck_before.jpg|thumb|right|150px|8:30 pm: "Pimp My Ride". Guest host: [[Alpha Trion]].]]

* [[Takaratomy]] officially recognizes Optimus Prime's vehicle mode as a [http://www.kenworth.com/2100_vir_w900.asp Kenworth W900 truck], even though the vehicle used for filming was a modified [http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379], a different model from a different brand, although both are made by the PACCAR company. <ref> [http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=121424?tid=edmunds.il.home.photopanel..2.* Article at Edmunds.com on some of the vehicles used in the movie] </ref>

[[Image:Movie_OptimusPrime_truckrear.jpg|thumb|right|150px|No container for you!]]

* Unlike most of the other truck-mode Optimus Primes in other continuities, ''Movie'' Optimus Prime does not pull a trailer of any sort. However, if he did, it would most likely be a flatbed trailer, as the rear of Prime's sleeper cabin is protected by a large silver headache rack, a piece of optional equipment installed in trucks that haul heavy loads on flatbed trailers. The rack protects the driver in case the load breaks free during braking.

[[Image:Movie_Prime_Trucklogomistake.jpg|thumb|right|150px|In the darkness, a PA will misread "Truck A" as "Truck B", and there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth -- Revelations 11:7.]]

*When Optimus Prime scans a truck for his new body, the passing truck has what appears to be an Autobot sigil on its grill, but the actual truck that Prime turns into at the end of the scene has a much wider, flatter symbol on the grill which looks rather much like that of Peterbilt.

*The announcement of [[Peter Cullen]] as Prime's voice actor in the movie is credited by some fans as allieving many fan tensions about the movie. Not all tensions, mind you, but it put the fans in a good mood.

* As part of the hype buildup to the movie's release, Optimus Prime made a brief cameo at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards, interacting with host Sarah Silverman. The scene spliced Silverman into pre-existing movie footage, but featured new dialogue recorded for the event by Peter Cullen. Prime heavily hinted that he wanted to present an award, but was rejected for a regular MTV fan.

* According to the free trading cards from the Boston Globe, Optimus is 28 feet tall, weighs 4.3 metric tons, and his primary weapon is an [[ion blaster]]. (Considering Optimus's height however, this weight would seem implausible)

* According to a tie-in advertisement for [[Burger King]], Prime likes his Whoppers with no onions, no cheese, and with extra pickles on the side. However, due to a cruel twist of fate, he can never enjoy the sweet taste of beefy victory. He saved the world from the Decepticons, and still he can't even have it his way?

* The Optimus Prime computer generated model consisted of 10,108 individual parts, 1,830,898 polygons, 27,744 rig nodes, and 2336 texture maps. The volume of all pieces combined came to 5445 cubic feet.<ref>Robertson, Barbara (2007). Heavy Metal. ''Computer Graphics, 30''(7), 12-17.</ref>

* Sadly enough, Optimus was only able to shoot his gun ONCE in the movie.

* Optimus Prime (in truck mode) made an appearance at [[BotCon 2007]], alongside the [[Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit]]. He was available for pictures all weekend.

* It said in the Autobots game in the DS, Prime's father was killed by Megatron. However, since it is also widely known that Prime and Megatrons were brothers, Megatron killed his own dad. Not that this is surprising, though.
