Maintaining a website is hard work, so if you want it done right you turn to '''The Fassinator'''. He'll make sure your code is ironclad, work those sockets (ladies, take note) and keep you on the cutting edge. Part of [[Leo Spitz]]'s crack team of interweb cowboys, he is the codemaster and COO of ''[[The Real Effing Deal]]''.

Fassbinder was hard at work in Leo's makeshift situation room, and in response to [[Sam Witwicky]]'s skepticism towards their sacred truth-finding mission laid his new acquaintance's doubts to rest with a spirited defense of the internet as an information source. He was just about to rejoice in a ''monumental'' scoop on the situation in Shanghai when the site was once again beaten to the punch by their rival at the [[GiantEffingRobots.com]] blog. Thankfully his wounds were salved by the timely intervention of Leo, who took Fassbinder to the first fraternity party of the year. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)}}

'''Leonardo Ponce de Léon "Leo" Spitz''' is a little nutty. From the relative safety of his dorm room in [[Hamilton Hall]], he runs a website, ''[[The Real Effing Deal]]'', from which he tells the world about the giant robots that the government doesn't want you to know about. He may be oblivious to a lot of things, including pretty girls in his room, but he's got to be ever vigilant if he wants to get the jump on his competition over at ''[[GiantEffingRobots.com]]'' and his eternal nemesis [[Robo-Warrior]].

{{spoiler|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|7/24/2009}}
Sam met Leo when moving into his dorm room, and was quickly introduced to his roommate's... eccentricities. Leo hastily escorted Sam into a makeshift situation room, where his buddies [[Fassbinder]] and [[Sharsky]] were hard at work chronicling the breaking story in Shanghai. Leo was crestfallen when he failed to impress his new roomie with his media empire, nor even the kitten calendars, but he ultimately shrugged it off and showed Sam the woman he intended to one day marry, [[Alice]]. Later that night he dragged Sam to the first fraternity party of the year, where he believed he was certain to get his "Spitzy Spitz" on.

Days later he had concocted a subtle and nuanced plan to woo Alice by presenting her with a meat-laden pizza. Unfortunately she brushed him off, and was ultimately more interested in Leo's roommate's scribbles. She didn't even grant Leo's humble request to watch! ''Women''. Of course, shortly afterwards he discovered it was all an alien plot to silence his website's truth-finding mission. Realizing he had led his newfound friends into danger, he fled only to be captured by [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] and taken to [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]].

Curiously, the [[Decepticon]] leader seemed uninterested in Leo, apparently playing coy with the intrepid web journalist while he waxed loquacious about dissecting Sam. Thankfully the [[Autobot]]s arrived, and understanding the crucial asset Leo represented assigned [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] to safely evacuate him.

Now a fugitive alongside his friends, Leo's savvy again proved the key to unraveling the mystery as he used his inside contacts to lead Sam to former government agent [[Seymour Simmons]]. Though he and Simmons had crossed swords more than once on the internet, Leo was magnanimous, extending the olive branch to his rival. Thus, Simmons allowed Leo to play a central role in their crafty plan to infiltrate the [[wikipedia:Smithsonian Institute|Smithsonian Institute]] [[wikipedia:National Air and Space Museum|National Air and Space Museum]]. Successfully beguiling the guards, Leo took out several of them before his ninja-like moves proved a little ''too'' smooth, and he applied his taser to himself... in the gonads.

Leo recovered quickly, and was whisked away with the others to [[Egypt]] when the ancient Decepticon turncoat [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] opened a space bridge. Though he employed the catlike grace he was known for, his pride and joy was ultimately dealt another blow when Sam's girlfriend unceremoniously landed on it. Beginning to crack under the pressure of his awesome destiny, Leo nonetheless soldiered on, requiring only minor tasering from Simmons in order to remind him of his duty to Mother Earth and the human race.

Leo showed his uncanny powers of reasoning and skepticism as the group approached the [[Tomb of the Primes]], his insightful observations leading Sam to discover the wonders hiding under his very nose. His steely resolve was likewise proven as he showed himself an able ally to Simmons in the decisive final battle. Resting only when the job was done, Leo stood as a true hero for our times. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

'''Scourge''' is [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]'s implacable tracker and leader of his own cadré of huntsmen, the deadly [[Sweep|Sweeps]]. He was created by [[Unicron]] from the remains of a dead [[Decepticon]]. Immensely powerful like all the Unicronian Decepticons, arrogance is his only true weakness. Despite being quite powerful in his own right, Scourge generally acts as a near subordinate to [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], and, despite his leadership of the Sweeps, is generally content to take orders from others. Scourge tends to grumble and complain a bit (a habit sometimes shared by his Sweeps).

But then again, you'd also complain if your boss spent so much time beating you up, wouldn't you? His [[Targetmaster]] partner is [[Fracas]].

[[Image:G1Scourge.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Van-Dyck of destruction.]]
Following the [[Battle of Autobot City]] in 2005, Scourge was created from the remains of [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] by [[Unicron]]. Scourge was designated commander of his legion of huntsmen, the [[Sweeps]], and traveled with his new leader, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Galvatron, Scourge and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] then returned to [[Autobot City]] and sent the remaining Autobots fleeing into outer space.

After blasting their ship, the Decepticons believed the Autobots dead. Unicron sent a painful message to Galvatron, informing him he was wrong. Galvatron argued the point until Scourge reminded his leader "we belong to him". The Decepticons then tracked the Autobots to the [[Junkion (planet)|Planet of Junk]] where Scourge and the Sweeps dismembered [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and stole the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Unicron learned of Galvatron's intended rebellion and attacked Cybertron. Whether Scourge, who was vocally loyal to Unicron, fought to protect Cybertron is unknown. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie|The Transformers: The Movie}}

After the Decepticons were sent packing to [[Chaar]], Cyclonus and Scourge went on an expedition to track down their lost leader, Galvatron, who hadn't been seen since Unicron went kablooey. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}} They found Galvatron soaking in a lava pit on [[Thrull]], and much to their disappointment, discovered their leader had gone totally nuts. Galvatron was set to plow his way through his minions before Scourge took to bended knee and appealed to Galvatron's ego to stop. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2}} Scourge and Cyclonus took their leader back to Chaar to command the Decepticon army, only to find the planet all but deserted. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}} It turned out that the other Decepticons had allied with the [[Quintesson|Quintessons]], which after some negotiation led to a Decepticon-Quintesson joint attack on Cybertron. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} Scourge participated in this attack, but the Decepticons were eventually driven away. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

Scourge and his Sweeps were working with Galvatron and Cyclonus to hunt Rodimus Prime, when they came across the [[Autobot Mausoleum]] in deep space. Infiltrating the space barge, they continued their attack on the Autobots until [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] himself rose from the grave to fight back. Scourge and his huntsmen fled before the former Autobot leader, forcing Galvatron and Cyclonus to withdraw as well. {{storylink|Dark Awakening|Dark Awakening}}

Scourge and Cyclonus were hunting the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]] called [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]] for sport, but were caught in an ambush when the other Aerialbots jumped them in an asteroid field. The two Decepticons fled through a nearby vortex and crashed on the peaceful planet known as [[Paradron]]. Finding the world rich with energon resources, Scourge and Cyclonus immediately alerted Galvatron to their find and began to plunder the world of energy. {{storylink|Fight or Flee|Fight or Flee}}

When [[Octane]] took [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] to [[Carbombya]] without permission, Scourge came with Galvatron and the other Decepticons to chastise the fueler for disobedience. His discovery of super-energon made from Carbombyan oil temporarily assuaged Galvatron's anger, but once the Decepticons were forced out of Carbombya by the Autobots, Galvatron expelled Octane as a traitor to the cause. {{storylink|Thief in the Night|Thief in the Night}} Sometime later, Scourge was hunting Octane on Cybertron with Cyclonus and the Sweeps, when their prey fled underground into the [[Decepticon Crypt]]. Scourge would prove to be a very poor leader, with his followers, the Sweeps, refusing his order to follow Octane below (though they were scared to death of Cyclonus). {{storylink|Starscream's Ghost|Starscream's Ghost}}

{{storylink|Surprise Party|Surprise Party}}

He was later possessed by the disembodied [[Spark|ghost]] of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], though this eventually became a mutual partnership. Starscream intended to help Unicron turn Cybertron into his new body in exchange for a new body of his own. Scourge began to have second thoughts about this until Unicron reminded him that "what I have given you, I can also take away". Scourge eventually left Unicron and rejoined the Decepticons. Why Galvatron accepted his return instead of, oh...reducing him to composite particles is unknown. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine|Ghost in the Machine}}

{{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

After [[Predaking]] detected a Quintesson transmission, Scourge joined a Decepticon party in attempting to retrieve the secrets of the Quintessons' journal, but ultimately lost out to the Autobots. {{storylink|The Quintesson Journal|The Quintesson Journal}}

{{storylink|The Dweller in the Depths|The Dweller in the Depths}}

While searching for a new source of [[Anti-electron|anti-electrons]], the Decepticons attempted to raid Unicron's brain. Galvatron and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] occupied the Autobots while Scourge and Cyclonus went after the prize. They found a flask of anti-electrons just waiting to be drained, but upset Unicron in the process and were blasted by his internal defenses. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain|Grimlock's New Brain}}

[[Image:Matrix burden 2.jpg|right|250px|thumb|If that's "the touch," you don't want to get it!]]
At one point, Autobot commander [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] was separated from the Matrix of Leadership by Galvatron. Galvatron, who was haunted by the spirits within it, instructed Scourge to dispose of the Matrix. Scourge decided to use the power of the Matrix to his advantage and installed it within his chest. ''Very'' bad idea. The Matrix proved incompatible with Decepticon programming, causing Scourge to morph into a hideous freak with the power driving him mad. Scourge attempted to seize control of the Decepticons until Hot Rod took back the Matrix. Scourge was left at the mercy of a very unhappy Galvatron, but somehow beat the reaper yet again. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}

In 2007, the Decepticons stole the [[Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber|key]] to the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]] on Cybertron, and Scourge was set with infiltrating the chamber whilst the other Decepticons performed a full-scale assault on the planet as a diversion. He succeeded, but inserting the key into the chamber led to a plasma energy burst that very nearly killed him. He was saved by an [[Energon infuser|energon infusion]] from Cyclonus, and was subsequently sent to find the Autobots who had taken the key back while Scourge was unconscious. Together with Cyclonus, [[Slugslinger (G1)|Slugslinger]], [[Triggerhappy]] and [[Misfire]], Scourge tracked the Autobots to [[Nebulos|Nebulon]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1|The Rebirth, Part 1}}

After clashing with the brand new Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] and losing badly, Scourge and the others were kidnapped by the Nebulon group known as the [[Hive (G1)|Hive]], who offered to [[Binary-bonding|binary-bond]] with the Decepticons and increase their power. Scourge chose to become a [[Targetmaster]], getting the loud Nebulan [[Fracas]] as his partner, and the Decepticon Headmasters and Targetmasters subsequently attacked and defeated the Autobots. Scourge got the key to the Plasma Energy Chamber back and voiced his desire to destroy the Autobots completely before moving on, only for Fracas to threaten to shoot him unless the Decepticons went back to the Hive as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the Autobots copied their Targetmaster technology and went back into battle, and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] managed to knock Scourge down and steal the key back. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2|The Rebirth, Part 2}}

However, that plan failed miserably when that Six Changer turned out to be their own ally, [[Sixshot]]. Both Scourge and Cyclonus ditched Trypticon in battle, leading to the Decepticon city's destruction (though he was eventually repaired).

[[Image:Scourge marvel uk 83.jpg|right|180px|thumb|"I CAN'T GET OUT OF THIS CONFOUNDED MAZE!!"]]
''Following Unicron's consumption of Cybertron's moons, Galvatron, Cyclonus and Scourge traveled back in time from 2006 to 1986 as part of a plan to free themselves from Unicron's control by constructing a massive cannon that would destroy him upon their return to the future. The three Unicronian Decepticons proved themselves almost invincible in the face of the Autobots' attacks, though a lucky shot destroyed Scourge's weapon after he had incapacitated [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]], and Scourge was relatively weaponless (most of his weapons could only be used in vehicle mode). Though he also took down [[Grapple]], Megatron managed to down Scourge and use him as a barganing chip. The future Decepticons were finally defeated when Galvatron was duped into believing he was trapped in a temporal paradox, and returned to his own time to live out the remaining events of 2006.'' {{storylink|Target: 2006}}

{{note|2006 was the original date for the movie, amended to 2005 '''after''' the production of a treatment which was the only available research when the comics were penned.}}
[[Image:Cyclonuspullsthebeardy.jpg|left|250px|thumb|"Yeouch!! That's my secret weakness you're pulling at, Cyclonus!"]]
''Following the destruction of Unicron at the hands of Rodimus Prime and the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]], Galvatron transported himself back in time to 1987, leaving Cyclonus and Scourge in the future, under [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]’s command. The duo were attacked by the freelance peace-keeping agent, [[Death's Head]], who was seeking the bounty on Galvatron’s head, and Cyclonus revealed Galvatron’s whereabouts to him.'' {{storylink|Wanted:Galvatron — Dead or Alive!}} ''Later, Shockwave hired Death’s Head to kill Rodimus Prime, but Cyclonus and Scourge interfered with the job as they sought to kill Rodimus first, in order to reclaim their lost standing amongst the Decepticons.'' {{storylink|Headhunt}} ''This did not please Death’s Head, and consequently, he willingly accepted a contract from Rodimus to hunt down Cyclonus and Scourge, eventually tracking them down to the planet of Junk as 2008 dawned. Before he could finish the job, however, all three of them fell under the mind-controlling influence of Unicron, whose disembodied head had survived the destruction of his body and had landed on the planet, where he was having the native Junkions construct a new body for him.''

''Under Unicron's control, Cyclonus and Scourge killed Shockwave and became Decepticon leaders, reigniting the stalemated Cybertronian war to a furious degree to cover Unicron's actions. Death's Head, however, was able to fight the mind control and work with the Autobots long enough to stop the chaos-bringer's plan. As explosions destroyed Unicron, Death's Head tackled Cyclonus and Scourge, pushing them through a time portal Unicron had built, promising to kill them another time. The two Decepticons were hurled into the past of Cybertron by the portal, where they came under the command of Scorponok.'' {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}}

[[Image:Scourge scorponok cyclonus marvel uk 151.jpg|right|180px|thumb|"I just don't get why we never do anything but attack Qatari villages, that's all." "SHUT UP AND KEEP FIRING!"]]
Traveling to Nebulos with the rest of Scorponok's forces, they became Targetmasters and then traveled to present day (1988) Earth. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}} ''Once there, they sought out Galvatron, and, no longer willing to serve him, instead demanded that he hand over his time travel device so that they could return to the future and their position as Decepticon leaders. The confrontation was disrupted by the sudden appearance of the Autobot commando squad, the [[Wrecker|Wreckers]], who drew the ensuing battle away from the human settlement it was taking place in by professing to have stolen Galvatron's time jump mechanism, when in reality, the Decepticon no longer even had it for them to take.'' {{storylink|Wrecking Havoc}}

''Having met with failure again, Cyclonus and Scourge decided to cut their losses and team up with Shockwave's present-day Earth-based Decepticon forces.''

[[Image:Cyclonus scourge marvel uk 189.jpg|left|180px|thumb|"Cyclonus, remember that thing that we absolutely, positively, definitely shouldn't say to Shockwave?" "Yep." "You're sure?" "Yep." "You're not going to mention it at all, are you?" "Nope."]]
{{note|At this point in time, the comic book personalities of Scourge and Cyclonus had been well-established, and distinctly different from the cartoon—here, Scourge was the intelligent, scheming brains of the duo, while Cyclonus was the dull-witted brawn, and that personality trait remained as strong as ever.}}
''Unfortunately, Cyclonus accidentally let slip that they would kill Shockwave in the future. Naturally wanting to ensure his continued existence, Shockwave unleashed a brainwashed Megatron clone upon the two. As Megatron killed [[Nightstick (Cyclonus)|Nightstick]] and grappled with Cyclonus, Scourge took aim at the clone...but stopped. He realized that killing Megatron in 1988 would likely prevent Galvatron's creation in 2006, and possibly his own as well. Unwilling to take the chance, he abandoned his comrade and fled.'' {{storylink|Dry Run!}}

[[Image:Shockwavetimewars.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Oh no!! I've told Shockwave about me and Cyclonus killing him. Should I kill him? I... can't... resist..."]]
''Cyclonus and Scourge’s displacement into the past had circumvented the normal mass-replacement method used by time-travel, and had hence unbalanced the space-time continuum, causing a rift to appear in the fabric of space and time. Cyclonus' death, eighteen years before he was even created, proved to be the final straw, accelerating the rift, which soon threatened to consume Earth and Cybertron. Realizing that the only way to stop it was to return himself, Galvatron and Cyclonus to their original time, Scourge attempted to recover Cyclonus’ body from Shockwave, only to be attacked by the deranged Decepticon, who had lost his mind due to the illogical nature of the situation, and had strung Cyclonus' remains up like a twisted trophy. Scourge staggered back to the time rift and allowed it to take him, hoping that that would have some effect on the situation. It didn't. [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]], however, succeeded where Scourge had failed, and was able to bring Shockwave back sanity enough for him to deposit Cyclonus’ remains after Galvatron and Scourge, and then seal it with an x-ray blast. Scourge was not seen again after this, and it is unknown exactly what happened to Scourge after he entered the rift.'' {{storylink|Time Wars}}

[[Image:Cyclonus scourge marvel 67.jpg|left|150px|thumb|The deadliest bathtub in the skies.]]
An alternate version of Scourge later made a brief appearance, inhabiting an alternate future world of 2009 where Cybertron had been destroyed and Galvatron ruled Earth. With only seven Autobots left alive, Scourge battled [[Getaway]], [[Chainclaw]] and [[Guzzle (G1)|Guzzle]] during the Autobots' last desperate raid on the [[Decepticon Powerbase]]. He was killed off-panel by the combined might of these warriors. {{storylink|Rhythms of Darkness!}}

As a way a saying thank you, Shockwave shot Scourge in the back, took him prisoner, dissected him, and rebuilt the Unicronian Transformer.

* It's not known how much (if any) communication there was between Marvel's US office and the UK offices where Simon Furman was churning out his behind-the-scenes stories, but regardless, Cyclonus and Scourge completely disappeared from the US book after ''[[Headmasters (comic)|Headmasters]]''—leaving Furman free to send them off to find Galvatron. {{storylink|Wrecking Havoc|Wrecking Havoc}}
* For some reason, Scourge's head-mounted cannon was implied to not be a cannon in the comics, as the loss of a handgun in "[[Target: 2006]]" apparently left Scourge completely weaponless in robot mode, making transformation a complete necessity.

:''Blurr is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]]''.

[[Image:Blurranimated.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Speed^3]]
'''Blurr''' is a bot of action. And words. A ''lot'' of words. A lot of words said at high speed.

An intelligence agent in the [[Cybertron Elite Guard]], Blurr tends to barrel ahead with whatever he's doing and simply expects everyone else to keep pace... be it on a mission or in simple conversation. His motor-mouth and penchant for tangents tend to leave others in the dust, forcing them to ask him to repeat things.

{{bigquote|First of all, the name's not "Zippy"! As a matter of fact, I don't believe I've ever met another bot named Zippy, so one can only assume that you came up with "Zippy" in reference to my speed, which may be technically accurate, but lacks a certain creativity!|Blurr introduces himself to [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]]|"[[A Bridge Too Close, Part I]]"}}

==Fiction==
===''Animated'' cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' [[John Moschitta]] (English), [[Gerald Schaale]] (German)

[[Image:Blurrbumblebeerace.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Unknown to Bumblebee, Blurr is secretly his older brother, Rex, who ran away from home years ago!]]
Blurr initially became known to the Autobots on [[Earth]] through his participation in [[Master Disaster]]'s ''[[Street Demon]]'' races. This was because Master Disaster manipulated him using a remote control that contained an [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]] fragment.

Blurr proved impossible to beat on the race course; under Master Disaster's control, Blurr used aggressive tactics and sped past [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] twice, even though the yellow Autobot was using his rocket boosters.

Later, the [[Key]] detected the AllSpark fragment, so [[Sari Sumdac|Sari]] stole the remote control to investigate it, which apparently broke Master Disaster's control over Blurr. When [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] was about to attack Bumblebee, Blurr charged off a bridge and played a mid-air game of chicken with Blitzwing, causing the Decepticon to veer off and crash into a skyscraper. Later that night, Bumblebee was on the roof of the Autobots' factory base when he spotted Blurr driving down a nearby highway past the building. Bee called out a thank you, but Blurr gave no response. {{storylink|Velocity}}

[[Image:AniBlurr-bust-ABTC.jpg|thumb|250px|There was a time when he wouldn't speak. Now he won't shut up.]]
Blurr intercepted a transmission between [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] and a double agent on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] revealing that [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] was the best [[space bridge]] technician in the entire galaxy, and would thus be a target for kidnapping. Blurr sped off to try to stop Megatron, but was instead stopped by Bumblebee. The yellow bot chased him around for a while, until he finally knocked Blurr off the road. This angered Blurr, so he transformed into robot mode, introduced himself and his mission, and gave Bumblebee the chewing out of a lifetime, all in about thirty seconds. Bumblebee missed everything he said past the first sentence.

Later, at the Autobot base, Blurr again introduced himself and explained his mission, this time to the entire Autobot crew, minus Bulkhead. They still had trouble understanding him, but were able to make out the fact that Bulkhead was an expert and that [[Isaac Sumdac]] had aided Megatron in building a space bridge.

Blurr led Bumblebee, [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus]], and [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] to Megatron's base. They had a brief encounter with Blitzwing and [[Lugnut]], whom Blurr quickly caught in [[stasis cuffs]]. After watching, Bumblebee reluctantly admitted that he was no longer the fastest thing on wheels. The Autobots managed to reach Megatron's throne room, but Blurr was quickly defeated by [[Scrapper (Animated)|Scrapper]]. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part I}}

After escaping from Scrapper, Blurr stasis-cuffed [[Skywarp (Animated)|the Coward Starscream]]. As fast as he is, though, Blurr failed to get out of the way of [[Thundercracker (Animated)|the Egomaniac Starscream]], who crashed into both him and Coward Starscream, getting them caught in his cement overcoat and sending them all tumbling into the space bridge. Bulkhead attempted to recall them, but explained that the targeting coordinates of the bridge were never set, meaning that they could have been sent anywhere in the galaxy. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part II}}

Though caught in a cement block with the Coward and Egomaniac Starscream clones and floating across a random part of space, Blurr was able to escape due to the clone's efforts. By ricocheting off meteors, moons, and other debris, Blurr was amazingly able to run all the way back to Cybertron. But when he returned, he was greeted by [[Shockwave (Animated)|Longarm Prime]], who wasn't happy to hear Blurr's news that he would be able to identify the traitor by examining Shockwave's voice sample. Longarm attacked Blurr, who sped away. Longarm transformed into Shockwave, and noted that he didn't need to catch to Blurr, only trap him. Shockwave used the building's main computer to lock down the corridors where Blurr had fled through. Trapped, Blurr was crushed between two closing walls.

Longarm later handed off the blue cube that remained to an unwitting [[Cliffjumper (Animated)|Cliffjumper]], requesting he dispose of the "sensitive material". Cliffjumper then put the cube into an incinerator. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

*'''Blurr''' (Deluxe, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Telescoping grill energy saw

:Part of the fifth wave of ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Deluxes, Blurr transforms into a sleek futuristic race car. A button on his hood deploys an energy saw weapon which can double as a shield or clip onto his back in robot mode. Due to his leg design, the very middle of Blurr's rear wheels are the only parts that roll, while the sides do not. These parts stick out a hair, though, so his mobility in vehicle mode is unhindered.

:The pin on the top of his head is molded in bendy rubber, which is fortunate as it'd probably snap off really easily if it wasn't. There's also softer rubber on the tips of his shoulders, [[For safety reasons| so that you don't poke your eye out]], and with a transformer like Blurr, you need a few precautions like that.

:His feet can swivel and have ball-jointed toes and heels, which lets him easily pull off running poses, if you can see him doing that sort of thing.

:*''[http://www.tfu.info/2009/Autobot/Blurr/blurr.htm More information on Blurr at TFU.info]''

==Notes==
* At the [[BotCon 2008]] [[Cartoon Network]] panel, it was revealed that Blurr's design has a few small [[homage]]s to ''[[Transtech]]'' [[Cheetor (TransTech)|Cheetor]], mainly the "hollow" wheels in his legs.

* Aside from the obvious homage aspect, Blurr also has the same [[John Moschitta|voice actor]] as his [[Generation 1]] [[Blurr (G1)|inspiration]], though Moschitta's speed-speech skill is given a different twist, namely that he no longer repeats himself.

*Character designer [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] put Blurr's "still-beating [[spark]]" in the animation model for the compacted cube[http://derrickjwyatt.blogspot.com/2009/03/turn-back-now-spoilers-ahead.html]. However, this more detailed model was never used, and Blurr's spark was not shown in the episode. His life-or-death status is thus left ambiguous.

I can't tell you how glorious it is that we have to disambiguate "Toaster" on this wiki.--[[User:UndeadScottsman|UndeadScottsman]] 22:08, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

:It made my morning. I went to check something on the MD website and-- "wait,t here's a new commercial? With ''more'' new characters?" -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 22:10, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

== Realgear or not realgear that's the question. ==

What differs between Toaster and Frenzy that make one a Real Gear, and the other not. Or has frenzy to be classified a Real Gear too? Or is Toaster in fact not a Real Gear? The debate is now open!

:Frenzy? Frenzy is a Decepticon from Cybertron. Real Gear Robots are Earth machines brought to life by the Allspark. I don't think Toaster belong in the RGR category, though. Even though I'd say it's likely that he ''is'' an Earth machine brought to life by the Allsaprk, we should only use the RGR category for the toyline. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 01:16, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

:Real Gear, for reasons previously stated on the [[Talk:Real Gear Robot]] page.
:Hardcore movie spoilers (i.e. reading the novelization) present a clearer picture why than readily apparent from the Real Gear Robots toy bio. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 01:18, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
::Since the number of people who are willing to spoil themselves just to check your work is going to be extremely limited, I'm not really okay with you having free reign over stuff like this for a month while we wait for the movie to come out so we can edit out all the Derik. I say put the novelization aside for now. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 01:25, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

:::Hrm... how to argue this without movie spoilers then...
:::Fine, I substitute the Real Gear Robot [[AX9-8946-09SU-1]] from the Sector 7 ARG (the one who killed [[James Farr]]) as a non-spoilery example of the phenomena. Unliving Earth hardware animated by the Allspark starts out as a feral killing machine. Toaster is thus one step along the path from AX9-8946-09SU-1 to the fully-mature, individualized RGR toy characters. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 01:31, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

::::Why must it be argued immediately? Can we not completely ignore the novelization and adaptation comic until the movie comes out, and only use other sources, such as the toyline, until then? If we end up wrong, then we can fix it when it's appropriate. Such is the way of a "living" resource. --[[User:Sntint|Sntint]] 01:37, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

::::I would add "how do you know for a fact that Toaster was born on Earth, Derik?", seeing as [[Toaster|G1 Toaster]] was from Cybertron, but I don't want to see another string of spoilers added to this page. -[[User:Rotty|Rotty]] 01:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

I have been thinking along the lines of: While all "Real Gear Robots" are Earth machines brought to life by the Allpsark, not all Earth machines brought to life by the Allspark are necessarily "Real Gear Robots." That we should only label as Real Gears things that actually, officially have that label. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 01:27, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
:I understand that is your perspective, but the ''definition'' of RGR's given for the line is 'Machines animated by the Allspark.' '''minor''' spoiler below.
:In the movie we will (apparently) see a cell phone animated by the allspark. It is demonstrably not [[Speed Dial 800]]. But is SD800 ''is'' a RGR... why the hell isn't Unnamed Cell Phone #2 a RGR? -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 01:35, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Various points:
#Unless there is another convenient term for "Earth machines brought to life by the AllSpark", I strongly disagree with restricting use of the term "Real Gear Robots" only to characters from the toyline. We need a term for it, and that one already exists and is official.
#We should not put characters into the RGR ''category'' unless we know they are RGRs. That means Toaster should not be categorized as one, at least until all the dust settles in a few months and we all have a much clearer picture of the continuity family.
#The article itself should ''state'' "He may be a RGR". Phrases like "most likely" or "probably" should be avoided. They don't add any meaning and are obviously contentious.
#Derik should stop re-adding the category unless he wants to get a temporary ban over it. Endless reverts against the consensus are uncool, no matter how strongly you feel about it. PacifistPrime's block was over something not much worse than this.
#Anybody who disagrees with any of the above is dumb.
--[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 01:39, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
:Generally speaking, anyone who disagrees with Steve-o is dumb. I tip my king on the issue- for a month until there is a better basis from which to reach an informed consensus. (Until everyone has seen the movie has a basis from which to judge the situation.) -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 01:47, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

== Name ==

Actually,he does have an official name. [http://benprocter.com/SITEv2/HTML/ZOOM_Trans/ZOOM_64.html His Designs] refer to him as "Toaster Bot" . I don't think it's worth moving the page,i'll add some redirects instead. [[Special:Contributions/86.87.28.191|86.87.28.191]] 18:49, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
:And now he's got an upcoming toy named "Ejector"! And... I'm mostly just pointing that out here to see if I can actually edit. Can't log in yet, though.... <--Thylacine 2000.
