Optimus Primal (BW)

:''Optimus Primal is a [[Maximal]] and an [[Autobot]] in the [[Beast Era]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.''

[[Image:Optimusprimalbw.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Next one of you says "[[trukk not munky]]" gets it in the FACE.]]

Young and untested, '''Optimus Primal''' was a mere captain of an exploration ship when he and his crew were diverted off-course to pursue a stolen Predacon ship. The rest, they say, is (literally) history.

Though he does have a penchant for stuffy speeches, Optimus Primal is much more down-to-earth than his legendary [[Optimus Prime (G1)|namesake]]. He is committed to the Maximal codes of honor and moral judgment, but he does view them with some irreverence, and is not above finding loopholes or administering unorthodox solutions if necessary. ("Sometimes, crazy works," he says.) He is eternally loyal to his friends and respectful to his enemies. He is brave and selfless in battle. However, he is so committed to helping others that he can withdraw into a deep depression when he feels he has let them down. This is the only time he is self-absorbed.

Optimus Primal is extraordinary for not only being able to distinguish himself despite living in the shadow of Optimus Prime, but for perhaps even surpassing him. It is possible Optimus Primal is the greatest Cybertronian hero who has ever lived.

[[Image:Optimusprimalbwtimelines.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Pre-fur Optimus Primal, Maximal nobody.]]

====''Beast Wars''====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Gary Chalk]] (US), [[Takehito Koyasu]] (Japan)

[[Image:Optimusprimalbws1robot.jpg|left|thumb|Don't need no stinkin' shadows.]]

Optimus Primal was the captain of the exploration ship [[Axalon (BW)|''Axalon'']] when his crew got word that the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] criminal [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] had stolen the [[Golden Disk]] and a [[Darkside|ship]] with [[transwarp]] capabilities. Primal's was the closest vessel that also possessed a transwarp drive, so the ''Axalon'' was sent to engage them. Primal followed the Predacons through a transwarp portal and appeared above a mysterious planet, but both ships were damaged in the ensuing space battle, and before both ships crashed into the planet's surface below, Primal ordered that the [[stasis pod]]s carrying the rest of his crew to be ejected into orbit.

[[Image:Optimusprimalbws1ape.jpg|100px|right|thumb|This ape's for you. He's comin' atcha.]]

The planet was rich with [[energon]] -- so much so that prolonged exposure would short out their bodies, so the Maximals and Predacons were forced to take organic forms from the local creatures. Primal took the form of a silverback gorilla. Estranged from his comrades, the Predacon [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] challenged Primal to a duel soon after their arrival, seeking command of the Maximals so he could, in turn, defeat Megatron. Primal won both the duel and Dinobot's respect, and Dinobot joined their ranks.

Both sides entrenched themselves on their new world and the "Beast Wars" began. Strange unnatural sites and artifacts were discovered, leading Primal and the others to believe that aliens had seeded the primitive planet with experiments and traps. One such trap, the [[Standing Stones]], ensnared Primal's body for a short time, during which the Maximals scrambled to ascertain their chain of command. In his absence, the Maximals squabbled and fought over leadership, until finally his core consciousness was able to speak to them and name [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] as his replacement. Primal's body was subsequently retrieved from the Standing Stones, and he resumed command.

When [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] discovered evidence of the [[Vok]]'s imminent arrival, Megatron called a truce, which Primal reluctantly agreed to. While investigating a newly-created Vok installation, Primal was tortured and captured by the aliens, who spoke to him (in the form of [[Unicron]]) and told him of their plans to 'sterilize' the planet. Barely escaping the Vok base, Primal returned to the Axalon to find it overrun by [[Tarantulas]] and [[Blackarachnia]], who had turned a space stasis pod into an escape ship, in order to flee the doomed planet. As the planet's second moon was converted into a [[Planet Buster]], Primal took the ship to do battle with the superweapon, against the objections of his crew. Primal planned to detonate the ship's [[transwarp cell]] when in range of the weapon, after ejecting to safety. The plan worked - with the exception of the 'ejecting' part. Megatron remotely seized control of the vessel, overriding Primal's ejection commands. The Predacon commander taunted Primal as he futilely beat his fists against the pod, until the detonation obliterated the pod, the Planet Buster, and Primal, reducing them all to so much space junk.

[[Image:Optimusprimalbws2robot.jpg|left|thumb|Transmetal Rippedimus Primal]]

Primal's [[Spark]] journeyed to the [[Allspark (dimension)|Matrix]], where it was soon recovered by [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] and placed in a [[blank]] [[protoform]], which became his new [[Transmetal]] body. Primal now transformed into a mechanical gorilla with a gorilla-on-a-hoverboard third mode.

[[Image:Optimusprimalbws2ape.jpg|100px|right|thumb|This ape's for you. He wants to love you.]]
Later on, Primal was captured and imprisoned in [[Metal Hunter|yet another Vok base]], this one controlled by his archnemesis Megatron. During a daring rescue attempt by the Maximals and Tarantulas, Optimus engaged in a furious battle with Megatron, destroying both the Metal Hunter and the alien disc. The Maximals then suffered a number of setbacks, including the death of [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]], the destruction of [[Transmutate]], and Megatron's acquisition of the deadly [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]]. However, the Maximals were soon greeted with good news; the realization that the [[transwarp wavefront]] created by the destruction of the Planet Buster would lead Cybertron to them, in order to mount a rescue operation. Help arrived soon enough, but in the unexpected form of the rebuilt [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]], who had come to arrest Megatron for his crimes against the [[Pax Cybertronia]]. In the midst of this, Primal was forced to chastize new recruit [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] for his dangerous relationship with Blackarachnia. Primal assisted Ravage in arresting Megatron, but was soon betrayed by the ex-[[Decepticon]], allowing Megatron to escape and reach the [[Ark]], in an attempt to assassinate [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]].

Primal was forced to take the great Autobot's Spark inside himself to keep it protected. This caused his body to grow larger and stronger, gaining ground and air vehicle modes along with his previous gorilla form. This new "Optimal Optimus" successfully protected Prime's spark until it could be returned to his repaired body, saving history and the future from destruction.

With the location of the Ark revealed, and Megatron now desperate to end the war at any cost, Primal was forced to move his Maximals into the volcano where the Ark's hull lay. This new, defensive war was much more difficult to fight, and disadvantaged the Maximals severely. With the loss of their defense system, [[Sentinel]], the awkward and violent maturation of Cheetor, proto-humans to guard, and the introduction of the previously treacherous and morally ambiguous Blackarachnia into their ranks, Optimus Primal had more than his share of problems to deal with.

The tide was finally turned when the Vok resurrected and combined [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] and [[Tigatron]] into the mighty [[Tigerhawk]], who obliterated the Predacon base. In the end, Primal's forces defeated Megatron's, and with the captured Predacon leader strapped to the roof of a borrowed Autobot shuttle, the Beast Warriors at last headed home.

====Beast Machines====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Gary Chalk]] (US), [[Takehito Koyasu]] (Japan)

Optimus Primal suddenly finds himself alone on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], back in his original organic gorilla body, unfamiliar with how he arrived there, and pursued by an army of tank drones. A supernatural force lead him to [[Rattrap]], [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]], and [[Blackarachnia]], and though all four appeared to be succumbing to the effects of a deadly virus that keept them from transforming into their robot modes, he was able to lead them to the legendary [[Vector Sigma|Oracle]]. The Oracle reformated them into new [[technorganic]] forms that were immune to the virus.

Eventually, Primal and his allies learned that Megatron broke free durring their Transwarp flight home and so arrived on Cybertron before them. Megatron conquered the planet and laid a trap for Primal's crew and any other Transformers returning to Cybertron.

During the events that followed, Optimus Primal came to be much more in touch with his spiritual side than he ever was before, due to an almost mystical connection to the Oracle. This granted him visions and intuitions, guiding him to complete its designs. Though he had some trouble at first comprehending just what the Oracle wanted and how to go about it, he was, in the end, successful. Optimus Primal sacrificeed his life, plunging with Megatron into the heart of Cybertron and innitiating the reformating that returned the deactivated population to life and gave birth to the new technorganic Cybertron.

====''Robots in Disguise''====
When a spirit guide was needed to counsel the [[Optimus Prime (RiD)|Optimus Prime]] of a past, alternate reality, Optimus Primal rose to the task.

====''Universe''====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Garry Chalk]] (US, script reading)
His sacrifice to end Megatron's evil and restore Cybertron was not the final battle for Optimus Primal. When the machinations of [[Unicron]] led to a new conflict, with Transformers abducted from across the multiverse forced to fight for Unicron's benefit, [[Vector Sigma]] and [[Alpha Trion]] chose Optimus Primal to lead the [[Children of Primus]] against this threat. Primal was returned to life, and chose his old comrades [[Depth Charge]] and [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] to return as well and aid him. (Returning Primal to life, however, also resulted in the resurrection of his old foe Megatron.)

====''Cybertron'' comic====
[[Image:Optimusprimaluniverseend.jpg|right|thumb|It's 11pm -- do you know where your Beast Wars cast is?]]

[[Optimus Prime (RiD)|Optimus Prime]] recalled the end of the ''[[Universe]]'' conflict, where Optimus Primal led an assault on the [[Minions of Unicron]]. But due to [[Unicron]]'s sudden instability, Primal was victorious, and was able to escape back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] with his troops and rescue a number of Unicron-corrupted innocents.

''('''Note''': Unknown to Primal, Unicron's dispersion was caused by the [[Unicron Singularity|Grand Black Hole]] in an alternate timeline.)''

===Japanese animated continuity===

====''Beast Wars II''====
[[Image:Burningconvoy.jpg|thumb|left|Japanese continuity is like a fire raging inside you!]]
=====Movie=====
Optimus Primal was summoned across time by [[Lio Junior]] to help [[Leo Prime]] destroy [[Majin Zarak]]. Optimus Primal became '''Burning Convoy''' by joining the power of his matrix with Leo Prime's.

After Majin Zarak's destruction, Optimus Primal returned to ancient [[Earth]].

''('''Note''': The events of the ''Beast Wars II'' movie, especially Optimus Primal having a [[Leadership Matrix]], did not occur in American continuity. It's not clear when during the Beast Wars Optimus Primal was taken. Possibly the same time as his [[Robot Masters]] version.)''

=====Manga=====

When Leo Prime goes nuts and grows to giant proportions, wreaking havok across the landscape, Optimus Primal is summoned across time by the power of the Matrix to heal him.

====''Robot Masters''====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Yuto Kazama]] (Japan)

Optimus Primal chased Megatron in yet another time warp into the Generation 1 era. There, he met and joined forces with the [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. Together, their special attack was a massive energon tornado called Double Convoy Tornado. The Double Convoy Tornado would come to be countered by [[Megatron (BW)|Beast Megatron]]'s and [[Megatron (G1)|Rebirth Megatron]]'s Double Megatron Tornado, but emerge victorious with the addition of Leo Prime's Lio Typhoon Arrow, creating Triple Convoy Tornado Link attack.

He also had a temporary virus-induced Black Body form.

''('''Note''': Since both were known as simply "Convoy" in their respective Japanese series, Optimus Prime was designated "G1 Convoy" while Optimus Primal was designated "Beast Convoy".)''

===''Beast Wars Metals'' manga continuity===

Optimus Primal, who was killed while destroying the Vok Planet Buster, is resurrected as a sparkless monster using a voodoo ceremony. Rhinox rescues Primal's spark from Transwarp Space and restores him to his body.

Later, he eats Optimus Prime's spark.

''The Metals Manga takes Primal's manic action hero side to the next level. He once put a bomb in his mouth and tricked the cannibalistic [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]] into eating his head. "I have a spare," he says casually, transforming to beast mode.''

==Toys==
===Beast Wars===
* '''Optimus Primal vs Megatron''' (Basic versus two-pack, 1996)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-6'''

:The first Optimus Primal was a Basic size class blue bat which could autotransform into a robot by pulling the tail. Two swords were removeable from under his wings for use as weaponry in robot mode. He was packaged along with an alligator version of Megatron and a ''Beast Wars'' mini-comic.

:Whether this toy can be considered the Optimus Primal character is a matter of debate. Released before the animated series began, which established Optimus Primal as a separate entity from Optimus Prime, the accompanying profiles and mini-comic seem to assume that the Beast Wars are a progression of the same characters from the Autobot/Decepticon war. Whether the animated series' [[retcon]] affected this set of toys is probably a matter of personal preference.

:This mold was also used to make [[Onyx Primal]].

* '''Optimus Primal''' (Ultra, 1996/1997/1998)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-1'''

[[Image:Optimusprimaltoyultraape.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Yes, missiles come out of his butt.]]

: The second Optimus Primal toy was an ape in the Ultra size class. Though the transformation from primate to humanoid was a relatively simplistic transformation, the toy compensated with more than a fair share of weaponry and action features. A compartment on his right forearm opened to reveal a skull-shaped mace he could hold in his fist. His left forearm could open into a double-barrelled missile launcher. On his back were two spring-loaded missile launchers which auto-flipped over each shoulder. By pulling a lever in the center of his back, both arms would either spin at the bicep or swing, depending on the placement of notch-buttons located on either bicep. And finally, like many first-year ''Beast Wars'' toys, a battle mask/"mutant head" could be deployed over his robot head.

[[Image:prizeprimals.jpg|100px|thumb|right|Brass monkeys.]]

: Takara released the toy as part of their ''Beast Wars'' line in July of 1997, nearly identical to the Hasbro version. In January of 1998, the re-did many of the toys with a few alterations; for Optimus, they changed the black to dark gray and the blue to metallic blue. The missiles for the Takara version are also thinner and simpler than the original Hasbro version, and would be used in all subsequent releases of the mold.

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Universe]]'' Optimus Primal, and [[retool]]ed into ''Beast Wars Reborn''/''Beast Wars Tenth Anniversary'' versus pack Optimus Primal. Takara also created multiple special variants, including all-gold (from ''Tele-V Magazine'', only ten awarded), red and gray (''Tele-V'' again, but only ''one'' awarded), blue-fur (a ''Comics Bom Bom'' design-contest prize, only five awarded), and colorless-clear with silver paint details (Toys 'R' Us retail [[exclusive]]).

*'''Convobat vs Megaligator'''
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''S-1'''
:This figure is a red [[redeco]] of Primal's first bat form, and was sold with a purple redeco of Gator Megatron.

* '''Optimus Primal''' (Mega Transmetal, 1998)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-40'''

: [[Transmetal]] Optimus Primal is a mechanical gorilla that transforms into a partially organic robot. Like all Transmetals, he featured chromed plastic and a third vehicle-inspired mode -- in Primal's case, his gorilla mode could transform into a gorilla on a hoverboard. Two maces stored on his back, which could double as missiles for his hip-holstered blaster.

: [[Takara]]'s version of the toy exchanged the brown plastic for translucent maroon, and was also available in a set with Transmetal Megatron.

: This mold was used to make [[Apelinq]].

* '''Optimal Optimus''' (Super Transmetal, 1998)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-47'''

: Transmetal Optimal Optimus was the first toy in the Super size class, featuring electronics and four transformations -- robot, ape, jet, and armored transport. When button on his backpack was depressed, his eyes and shoulder-mounted missile launchers lit up. He came with four missiles, two of which stored on his legs. His forearms featured blast-away armor plates that could also be pegged to his upper arms.

: This mold was used to make [[Primal Prime]].

===Beast Wars II===
* '''Burning Convoy'''

===Beast Machines===
* '''Optimus Primal''' (Deluxe, 2000)
: The first Beast Machines Optimus Primal was a dark bronze and translucent blue technorganic gorilla that transformed into a technorganic robot. Its arm was springloaded to throw the shuriken that stored in its shoulder. Like all ''Beast Machines'' toys, it had a hidden "spark crystal" that displayed his faction allegiance.
* '''Blast Punch Optimus Primal''' (Mega, 2001)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''BR-01'''

===Robots in Disguise===
* '''Air Attack Optimus Primal''' (Supreme, 2002)

===Universe===
*'''Optimus Primal''' (Ultra, 2003)

===Robot Masters===
*'''Beast Convoy'''
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''RM-11'''

*'''Beast Convoy Limited Black Version'''

: Available only via mail order through ''Hobby Japan'' magazine

* '''Burning Beast Convoy'''
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''RM-21'''
:This toy referrs to the ''Beast Wars II'' movie form where he partnered Leo Prime, turning them into Burning Convoy and Flash Lio Convoy respectively.

===Beast Wars 10th Anniversary===
[[Image:Optimusprimalbwx.jpg|left|thumb|125px|''Surf monkey/ that funky monkey'']]
* '''Optimus Primal''' (2006)

: Beast Wars 10th Anniversary (BWX) Optimus Primal is a new toy design based loosely on his original ultra ape action figure. He comes with a hoverboard that fires a missile when a [[Cyber Planet Key]] is inserted. The board also features a spring-loaded extending "assault blade" (or "ass lt blade" as the directions call it). Though it is not ''intended'' to be removed, the blade can be popped off and held in Primal's hand thanks to his posable thumbs.

[[Image:PrimalXsword.jpg|100px|thumb|Opposable thumbs!]]

: He is also packaged with a mini-comic-sized reprinting of [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Gathering]]'' #1, a small [[Axalon (BW)|''Axalon'']] ship figurine, and a [[Jungle Planet]] style Cyber Planet Key ''without'' a [[Cyber Key Code]] stamped on it.

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed and released as [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'']] [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]. It's worth noting that the scuplt for both BW10 leader toys were intentionally designed to blend in with the Jungle Planet aesthetic, "in case" they didn't get a Beast Wars Anniversary release (according to [[Aaron Archer]]'s statements at [[BotCon 2005]]).

* '''Optimus Primal vs Megatron''' (Toys "R" Us, 2006)
:Identical to the ''Beast Wars Reborn'' set as detailed below, but in new packaging with a DVD of the ''Beast Wars'' episode "[[Possession]]."

===Beast Wars Reborn===
[[Image:Optimusprimaltoybwrebornheads.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Staring contest -- go!]]
* '''Convoy vs Megatron''' (2006)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''BWR-01'''

[[Image:Optimusprimaltoybwreborn.jpg|left|thumb|100px|Nip and tuck.]]

: This release is a [[retool]] of the original 1996 Ultra toy, with new heads and robot chest sculpted to match the television series' portrayal. The color scheme was also altered to be show-accurate, changing the black to dark gray, much of the light gray to medium gray with hints of bronze, primary red to crimson, and blue to a more dull steel blue. This figure came packaged with a similarly-remolded [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] and a [[Golden Disk]] CD-ROM that contains control art for a number of ''Beast Wars'' toys.

===Titanium Series===
* '''Optimus Primal''' (3" Robot Master figurine)
Features Primal in his Beast Wars Season 1 appearance, with swords drawn in an action pose.

* '''Optimal Optimus''' (6" Transformable figure)

For undetirmined reasons, this incarnation of Optimal Optimus does not include the Beast Mode. Some fans have identified it more as a representative of [[Megatron]] from the final episodes of [[Beast Machines]] than as Optimus Primal.

===Timelines===
* '''Dawn of Future's Past''' (Boxset, BotCon 2006)

===Merchandise===

==Trivia==
* According to a guide book published in conjunction with the ''Beast Wars II'' theatrical film, Optimus Primal's original body had the following technical specifications. The veracity of these numbers in relation to anything actually featuring Primal, of course, is questionable.

:Height: 2.8m (9.19 feet).
:Weight: 2 tons.
:Running Speed: 60km (37.28 mph, beast mode), 50km (31.07 mph, robot mode).
:Airspeed: Mach 7.
:Maximum Power Output: 1,000,000 horsepower.

64.25.200.11:

Inferno is a member of Team Prime, obviously a seasoned veteran (despite only being introduced at the start of Energon).

He's a 'Bot of few words, and he has excellent marksman skills-making him the team's unofficial sniper.

Inferno possesses a [[Spark of Combination]], and is able to combine with other Autobots such as [[Hot Shot]] (his traditional partner) or [[Downshift]].

Midway through the series, Inferno was captured by [[Megatron]] and brainwashed into helping the Decepticons find [[energon]]. He wrestled with this painful internal struggle for some time, finally sacrificing his life to keep from betraying his friends.

Inferno's [[Spark]] was recovered and he was reborn in a new, tamper-proof body under the name [[Roadblock]].<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>

:''Ironhide is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Energon (franchise)|''Energon'']] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] continuity family.''

[[Image:EIronHide.jpg|thumb|GET IN THE SHIP!]]

'''Ironhide''' is a young Autobot who has stars in his eyes and a boundless desire to prove himself. Sadly, he's just a dork. sometimes, he's a tehcnically clever dork, but a dork nontheless.

''Japanese name:'' '''Roadbuster'''

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
====''Energon''====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Matt Hill]] (English), [[Mitsuo Iwata]] (Japanese)

The rookie of Team Prime, Ironhide has a major case of hero-worship towards both Optimus Prime and [[Hot Shot]]. He joins the team in the very first episode, in the hopes of earning a [[Combination Spark]].

Optimus Prime paired Ironhide with [[Kicker,]] in the hopes that the two would help to keep one another under control. Neither was very happy with the partnership at first, but eventually they became good friends.

Ironhide did manage to earn a Combination Spark after several battles, making him able to [[Powerlink]] with [[Jetfire]] and later, [[Cliffjumper]]. Along with several other characters, Ironhide was reformatted into a new paint job to fight Unicron (his new paint scheme bore a resemblance to G1 [[Hound]] and was referred to as "Energon Ironhide" in the toyline).

Shockblast

2006-10-15T02:33:39Z

64.25.200.11: /* Energon Cartoon */

{{disambig2|the Energon Decepticon tank/satellite|the Generation 1 space gun|Shockwave (G1)}}

''Shockblast is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Energon (franchise)|Energon]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]].''

'''Shockblast''' packs an incredible amount of firepower and high-tech gadgetry inside his chassis.

He is the brother of [[Six Shot (Energon)|Six Shot]]. He has an unspecified history with [[Tidal Wave]], and the two hate each other.

''Japanese name: '''Laserwave''' ''

==Fiction==
===Energon Pack-In Comics===
When [[Slugslinger (Energon)|Slugslinger]] and [[Sharkticon (Energon)|Sharkticon]] attempted to break into an [[Autobot]] island facility, Shockblast scrambled the security system with an electromagnetic pulse from orbit. However, when the plan went wrong, [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]] nailed Shockblast with cannon-fire, despite the Decepticon being in low orbit.

Later, Shockblast was part of the Decepticon party that had cornered [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] and a wounded [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]]. However, Shockblast was blown away by the combined power of Optimus and the newly-arrived [[Wing Saber]].

===Energon Cartoon===
'''Voice actor:''' [[Brian Drummond]] (US) [[Nobutoshi Canna]] (Japan)

Shockblast was held prisoner deep inside Cybertron, under near-constant supervision due to his status as a dangerous Decepticon war criminal. During a Decepticon uprising, Shockblast escaped and slaughtered most of the Autobot guards (while also inadvertently creating the Autobot hero who would be known as [[Wing Saber]]).

[[Megatron]] decided to add Shockblast to his team, and dispatched [[Tidal Wave]] to Cybertron. Unfortunately, Tidal Wave was fatally injured during Shockblast's riot (he was later reformatted into [[Mirage]]).

Shockblast joined the Decepticons and regarded Megatron with a high level of contempt. He made several attempts to overthrow Megatron and assume command of the team, all of which failed. In his final fight, Shockblast was crushed by the reactivated [[Unicron]].

===Dreamwave Energon Comic===

Titanium Series

2006-10-15T01:56:12Z

64.25.200.11: /* 6" Cybertron Heroes */

'''Titanium Series''' is a [[Hasbro]] toyline of partly [[die-cast]] toys produced by their [[Galoob]] branch. Originally consisting entirely of [[Star Wars]] vehicles of various sizes, it has since expanded into ''Battlestar Galactica'' vehicles and ''Transformers''.

''Transformers Titaniums'' are produced in two size classes. '''Robot Masters''' are 3-inch untransformable die-cast figurines of Transformers characters from various past and present toylines. '''Cybertron Hero'''es are 6-inch transformable partly die-cast toys of (so far) new Transformers designs by [[Don Figueroa]].

It is worth noting that since the Titaniums are developed by a separate branch of Hasbro from the normal ''Transformers'' team (who only has ''some'' input into character choices and looks), they do not take away "slots" from other Transformers lines. They are also not engineered or "mech-designed" by [[Takara]].

From the tech specs...

Longrack is the gabby, annoying class committee member of the group. He is quite serious about following rules to the letter, and will butt in and aggressively complain to others about it. His Arm Shot attack extends his right arm, while his Crush Arm grabs and mangles his enemies. Longrack also specializes in tinkering with machines.
