Whenever '''Reverb''' goes into battle, he goes with a grin on his face, singing a song that he knew back in the old days. He brings doom to many Autobots by creating a thudding sonic cyclone from the wash on his rotors, twisting metal, destroying their audio sensors, and shattering glass.

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===

Sent to [[Earth]] by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], Reverb (along with [[Gunbarrel (Movie)|Gunbarrel]]) is one of the Decepticons working under [[Fracture]], who was nice enough to find an [[Alternate mode|alternate mode]] for him at an [[Italy|Italian]] military base. After scanning, the Decepticons destroyed the installation. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3}}

Reverb and Gunbarrel were eventually hunted down and destroyed by the [[Autobots]] and their [[human]] allies. {{storylink|Alliance issue 4}}

{{Note|Due to space constraints, Reverb and Gunbarrel do not actually appear in Alliance issue 4, but their deaths are reported by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]].}}

:Part of the canceled<ref>[[Hasbro Q&A March 2009: Answers]]</ref> fifth assortment of [[Target]] [[exclusive]] movie-series Scouts, Decepticon Reverb would have been a [[redeco]] of [[Energon (toyline)|Energon]] [[Stormcloud (Energon)|Stormcloud]]/[[Blackout (Combiner)|Blackout]], transforming into an assault helicopter similar to an Apache. He could also have formed an leg or arm to any Energon-series "Powerlinx Combiner" super robot — though no super robot torsos actually came out during the original live-action movie toyline, and his packaging makes no mention of the toy's ability to combine.

:He would have come with a quintuple-barreled cannon that formed a hand or footplate for his limb-modes, plus a Decepticon-style energon chip.

: This mold was also used to make the [[Fun Publications]] [[Transformers Collectors' Club]]-[[exclusive]] toy [[Topspin (Classics)|Topspin]] and ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' (2008) [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus Maximus]] team members [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]] and [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]].

==Trivia==
* Reverb's toy was first acknowledged on Hasbro's Transformers Action Figure [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=Collectors/Checklist Checklist].
* Reverb's deco was thought by many to an homage to an earlier character ([[Deathcobra]] and [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] were popular choices), but his colors were in fact based on ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Cloudraker (Universe)|Cloudraker]], as [[Joe Kyde]] was particularly pleased by Cloudraker's colors and wanted to re-use them on something bigger.
* It is unknown whether the [[Knock-Out]] repaint also called Reverb is intended to be the same character. While they are both Decepticons, they have very different color schemes.

:''Fuzors are a type of Transformer from the [[Beast Wars]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Coming of the Fuzors 1 Quickstrike intro.jpg|right|300px|thumb|My tail has a head!]]
A '''Fuzor''' is a Transformer whose alternate mode is a fusion of two or more distinct kinds of beasts. The condition can be brought on by a [[stasis pod]] malfunction, which can cause its [[DNA scanner]] to choose two native life forms simultaneously and combine them. Such malfunctions happened on prehistoric Earth, in the wake of the [[quantum surge]] caused by the destruction of the [[Vok]] [[Planet Buster]].

Known Fuzors include:

{{collist|2|
* [[Air Hammer]]
* [[Bantor]]
* [[Buzzclaw (BW)|Buzzclaw]]
* [[Injector]]
* [[Magmatron]]
* [[Noctorro]]
* [[Quickstrike (BW)|Quickstrike]]
* [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]]
* [[Sky Shadow (BW)|Sky Shadow]]
* [[Terragator]]
* [[Torca]]
}}

In addition, the [[Mutant (BW)|Mutants]] were previously Fuzors who were affected by Megatron's anti-transformation virus:

* [[Icebird]]
* [[Poison Bite]]
* [[Razor Claw]]
* [[Soundwave (BW)|Soundwave]]

The earlier, Fuzor forms of these characters have never been seen.

==Fiction==
===''Beast Wars'' cartoon===
[[Image:Coming of the Fuzors 1 Megatron fuzors.jpg|right|200px|thumb|]]
The energies of the [[Planet Buster]] caused a multitude of orbiting [[Stasis pod|stasis pods]] to crash to prehistoric [[Earth]] during the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]]. Many of these pods were damaged in the process. Replication errors caused at least two such pods to produce Transformers with beast modes that were comprised of two different animals mixed together: Silverbolt and Quickstrike.

Each of them had significant data track loss, and had personalities dominated by a single trait (Silverbolt had chivalry, while Quickstrike had cruelty). It is unclear whether these are common traits of Fuzors, or if the stasis pods experienced additional damage beyond the [[DNA scanner|DNA scanners]]. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1)}}

These two might have been partially [[Transmetal]]; the attack of the Vok [[Metal Hunter]] incapacitated the normal Beast Warriors, but the Transmetals and Fuzors quickly recovered from it. {{storylink|Other Visits (Part 2)}}

The practical upshot of this is that these two may well be very unusual Fuzors.

==Trivia==
* Magmatron is unique among the Fuzors in that he has three complete beast modes, which can operate separately as well as combined; he is identified as a "Tri-dinosaur Fuzor".
* [[Tigerhawk]], despite being a fusion of two different beasts, is never officially identified as a Fuzor—presumably because the Fuzor subline had been discontinued by the time of his release, in favor of the [[Transmetal 2]] subline.
* Hasbro reused the term "Fuzor" when launching its Zoids: Fuzors subline, known as Zoids Neo-Blox in Japan.
