'''Teeth''' are a part of [[Transformer]] anatomy sometimes found inside the mouth, surrounding the [[tongue]]. Though Transformer teeth seem similar in structure and appearance to the teeth of [[Human|humans]], what function they serve on Transformers can be a subject of debate.

Humans use teeth primarily for breaking down the foods they consume into digestible portions, but Transformers fuel is mostly, if not entirely, [[Energon (fuel)|liquid]]. Human teeth are also used to help form certain sounds in their language, in conjunction with the tongue. Transformers are capable of human speech, and sometimes are shown to have both teeth and a tongue, so it's possible their teeth may be used for communication. Two functions of teeth definitely shared between humans and Transformers are [[Galvatron II|using them as a weapon]] and baring them to indicate hostility.

Transformers who have animal-based [[alternate mode]]s tend to have [[Mecha molar|teeth]] in those adopted forms. Most of these alternate modes were acquired after contact with other planets such as [[Earth]], so the inclusion of teeth in Transformer anatomy is often irrelevant to understanding why some Transformers have them. However, eons of conflict have taught the Transformers to take advantage of whatever weapons one can find, and [[Dinobot (G1)|some]] have taken quite a liking to teeth.

{{note|The only medium which ultimately avoided Transformer teeth entirely was the [[Generation 1 (cartoon)|original cartoon]], in which the inside of the mouth was for the majority of the time depicted as a solid dark gray. Occasional shots from the series' [[Generation_1_(cartoon)#Season_1|first season]] do show Transformers with gray teeth (matching the inside of their mouths), but these numerous instances are now regarded as [[Animation error|goofs]]. In all other media, teeth were either uniformly used (such as in ''[[Beast Wars (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'') or their appearance varied by artist (such as in [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel Comics]]).}}

==The Identity of Scourge==

"He was created by Unicron from the remains of Skywarp."

We're not going to start this argument again, are we? BTW, he was amde from Thundercracker :p --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 20:56, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

That's what I get for going off the top of my head. But yeah, you're right, I guess we best avoid any "Bombshell is Cyclonus and Rumble is red!" debates.--[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 21:29, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Alright, so the recent Transformers the Animated Movie #2 clearly shows Thundercracker getting turned into Scourge...should that be reflected in this article or does the new movie adaptation have no bearing on the old movie and subsequent cartoon continuity? --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 20:21, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
: It should be mentioned. The adaptation corresponds to what the animation shows anyway. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 21:08, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

*Aiight, I made a small note of it. If anyone wants to tool around with that, be my guest. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 21:27, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't think it's ever really been that contested that Scourge was Thundercracker. It'd certainly be the one that people argue the LEAST about, anyway. I have, like, a whole Scourge article written up at Wikipedia. If anyone wanted to copy it over, wouldn't stop yer... can't muster the enthusiasm for it, meself. Though kindly ignore the massacred Cybertron bit. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 21:33, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
: I moved it from the profile to the Animated continuity section, since it's not universal. Scourge existed concurrently with Thundercracker in the Dreamwave comics, and he seems to be just an normal Decepticon (also concurrent with the Seekers) in the Hearts of Steel continuity. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 21:36, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

== IDW ==
Is there nothing more to be said about the IDW continuity? - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 19:10, 30 July 2009 (EDT)
:I'm not sure how much more there is to say about a character that gets a one line of dialogue mention that doesn't do more than establish he exists. (The line doesn't even include anything about his personality, IIRC.) --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 19:13, 30 July 2009 (EDT)
::Well, can you tell from the context if he a regular member of the Decepticon ranks and not some undead explorer or something? - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 19:18, 30 July 2009 (EDT)
:::<nowiki>*</nowiki>digs up comic*
:::"You're stalling. We've beaten the only real threat we've ever faced. I can see what's coming. So can you. Who will it be? Scourge? Who would have thought the worst move you could have made would be to win?"
:::...so I guess we could maybe add an extra line saying that Starscream thinks Scourge might want to challenge Megatron for command? That's it, though. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 19:22, 30 July 2009 (EDT)

==Are you seriously telling me...==
Nobody found a way to link [[Canon|Non-canon]] in the section about whether or not his cannon is a cannon?
