Floppy disk

65.11.54.84:

[[Image:diskette.jpg||thumb|right||What may be the most powerful storage medium the Humans have ever produced.]]A '''floppy disk''' is a [[human]] portable data storage device, using a magnetized disc inside of a plastic casing to store data in magnetic form. In the case of human computers, this is usually in binary code. How exquisitely crude of them.

Floppy disks come in several forms, specified by width:

*3.5 inches; these flop little, having a fairly rigid case.
*5 ¼ inches, encased in flexible plastic, as seen at right.
*8 inches, from the days when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

[[Chip Chase]] can tear a floppy disk in half with his bare hands.

[[Image:RollForIt_FloppyDisk_destruction.jpg|thumb|left|150px|...Or maybe not.]]

One 5¼″ floppy disk can hold the entire personality and memories of [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)|Optimus Prime]]. It can interface easily with [[Nebulan|alien]] [[Powermaster|technology]] to allow said personality and memories to be inserted into a new body. Albeit that you need a [[Hi-Q|genius]] to do it.

Firestar (G1)

2008-01-03T02:25:50Z

65.11.54.84: /* Animated continuity */

:''Firestar is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Firestar robot.jpg|thumb|250px|Inferno's Amazing Friend]]

'''Firestar''' was one of the members of [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]]'s female Autobot resistance after the departure of the [[Ark]] from [[Cybertron_(planet)|Cybertron]]. Practical and unprepossessing, she was nonetheless particularly useful during thefts of [[Decepticon]] [[Energon_cube|Energon cubes]], as her vehicle mode is capable of transporting large numbers of them.

Firestar is a close friend of [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] and [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], and entrusted the safety of her protege [[Flareup (T)|Flareup]] to the latter.

==Fiction==
[[Image:firestar-elitaonecomic.jpg|left|thumb|Firestar has by far the finest ass among the female Autobots.]]
===Animated continuity===
''Voice actress:'' [[Morgan Lofting]] (US), [[Masumi Gotō]] (Japan)

Firestar participated in a raid on one of [[Shockwave_(G1)|Shockwave]]'s [[Energon]] supply stores, and fell under attack when the group was discovered thanks to [[Moonracer_(G1)|Moonracer]]'s carelessness. All of them survived, and the team returned to their hidden base with the stolen Energon.

[[Image:Firestar vehicle.jpg|thumb|She's got a lot of junk in that trunk.]]

The Decepticons attacked again, however, and this time the resistance was saved only by the intervention of [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)|Optimus Prime]] and a group of the [[Earth]]-based Autobots. Firestar was briefly reunited with Inferno, and together they fought Shockwave alongside the rest of Prime and Elita-1's forces. She remained behind with the other females when Prime's team returned to Earth.

===''Timelines: Descent into Evil'' comic===
''According to [[Ben Yee]], Firestar was originally planned to have died prior to the events of [[Descent Into Evil]], owing to the inability to secure the trademark "Firestar", resulting in her intended toy becoming [[Flareup]]. However, this was intentionally omitted from the final version of the convention set. Consequently, her final fate is unknown.''

===Dreamwave comics continuity===

==Toys==
===Timelines===
The [[Flareup]] toy was originally conceived as Firestar, but the trademark was not available.

Moonracer (G1)

2008-01-03T02:25:23Z

65.11.54.84: /* Animated continuity */

:''Moonracer is a female [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation One]] continuity family.''

[[Image:Moonracerg1.jpg|right|thumb|250px|She thinks Powerglide is awesome. That's all you really need to know.]]
Amongst her colleagues, '''Moonracer''' is the joy and the laughter. The bubbly little sister, Moonracer is full of naive optimism and, to the dismay of her partners-in-guerilla warfare, pratfalls. She worries that others, either friends or enemies, don't take her seriously and dismiss her as simply being cute. But she'll show them. She'll show them she too can be ''hardcore''.

According to [[Powerglide]], Moonracer is the best sharpshooter in the galaxy.

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Morgan Lofting]] (US), [[Run Sasaki]] (Japan)

[[Image:Moonracer vehicle.jpg|thumb|left|Drax?]]
Moonracer was part of a team of [[Female Autobots]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], long believed to be extinct. While stealing energon from a Decepticon stockpile with her teammates [[Firestar]] and [[Chromia]], Moonracer tried to take more than they needed and, in the process, tripped an alarm.

[[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] learned that the Female Autobots still existed and sent a team of Decepticons to follow them back to their base. [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] used his piledrivers to cause a cave-in inside the Female Autobots' underground base, trapping them inside. It was Moonracer's idea to detonate the energon they stole in order to blast their way out. They succeeded, but were soon under attack by the Decepticons. The Female Autobots were joined shortly by Autobots from [[Earth]], including Moonracer's boyfriend [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]]. However, the tide was not turned until the arrival of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and the Female Autobots' leader [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]].

With the Decepticons defeated and their underground headquarters destroyed, [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] relocated the Female Autobots to a new base of operations.{{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===

Moonracer and the other female Autobots were an elite squad of warriors under the command of the [[Quintesson]]s.

''('''Note''': [[Dreamwave]] filed for bankruptcy and stopped producing Transformers books right as the female Autobots arc was beginning.)''

==Toys==
===Timelines: Descent into Evil===
: Moonracer was originally going to be part of 2005 Botcon convention set, but [[Fun Publications]] couldn't clear the rights to her name so she was changed to [[Chromia #Timelines|Chromia]], despite having Moonracer's colors and headsculpt.

65.11.54.84: /* Detailed synopsis */

{{picsneeded|Title card screengrab}}

{{episodenav|g1|season=2|48|prev=The Revenge of Bruticus|next=B.O.T. (episode)}}

After defeating the [[Stunticon]]s, five of the [[Autobot]]s pose as the crazed [[combiner]]s to learn of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s newest plan.

==Detailed synopsis==
[[Image:Sideswipe FakeBreakdown.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Sideswipe? I Breakdown have never heard of such a being!]]

[[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] sends the [[Stunticon]]s on a mission to find components for an unrevealed purpose, including the world’s largest, most perfect ruby. While searching for their components, the actions of the Stunticons catch the attention of the [[Autobots]], who track their movements and their crimes.

The Autobots split into teams and manage to be extremely effective at capturing the Stunticons in the middle of their capers. Most notably, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Motormaster]] play “chicken” and end up in a head on collision. [[Spike Witwicky|Spike]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] peer through the dust to see who survived, and it turns out that Optimus is the clear victor, while Motormaster lies in a wreck.

Although all five Stunticons captured, the Autobots still don’t know what their plans were for the components they stole for Megatron. [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] guesses that the parts are going to be made into a weapon (nooo, really?). Optimus hatches a scheme to disguise Autobots using camouflage paint and penetrate the Decepticon camp disguised as Stunticons: Optimus Prime as [[Motormaster]], [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] as [[Dead End]], [[Sideswipe]] as [[Breakdown]], [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] as [[Drag Strip]], and [[Windcharger]] as [[Wildrider]].

The disguised Autobots infiltrate the Decepticons, although their arrival causes some raised eyebrows because they are driving too “safely.” They deliver the stolen components to Megatron without being detected.

Back at the Ark, the Stunticons manage to shimmy and shake their way out of their cells, merge into [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and overcome their Autobot captors. They then head back to the Decepticon base.

The Constructicons complete Megatron’s new weapon and he reveals its power, but just then Menasor arrives declare the Autobots as infiltrators. Using Windcharger’s electric field ability and Mirage’s illusion power, the Autobots merge into their own Menasor. The two giants battle it out, and the Autobots are overcome. Megatron trains the new weapon on the Autobots, but the device blows up in his face after a few scattered shots.

Autobot reinforcements arrive and the Decepticons flee without their usual promises for revenge. It is revealed that Ironhide had made adjustments to the ruby back at Autobot HQ, which caused the device to explode. The Autobots head for home, victorious.
