The Rebirth Part 1 was to be the fourth season premiere, but due to declining interest, it simply was the first of the 3 final episodes in which a slew of new characters and concepts are introduced, most notably the US animated version of the Headmasters.

Things have been quiet for the Autobots in the months since the return of Optimus Prime and the hate plague crisis. But all that changes when Galvatron leads every functioning Decepticon on an all out assault, attacking first Autobot City, and then Cybertron itself.

During the onslaught, Kup and Hot Rod's team notice Scourge heading for the Plasma Energy Chamber. They pursue in an attempt to stop him, but when they're hit by a wave of energy from the Plasma Energy Chamber, their ship is hurled all the way to the distant planet of Nebulos.<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>

Beast Era

2007-06-18T22:33:20Z

65.219.235.164:

'''Beast Era''' is loosely-defined fan terminology. It roughly means "the years of ''[[Beast Wars]]'' and ''[[Beast Machines]]''", and is most often used to describe the two franchises as a single entity, much as the term [[Unicron Trilogy]] encompasses ''[[Armada]]'', ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'', and ''[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]''. The Beast Era also includes the Japanese-exclusive series ''[[Beast Wars II]]'' and ''[[Beast Wars Neo]]''.

The term is also sometimes used to refer to the in-fiction time period during which the Beast cartoons take place. That is, a time roughly 300 years after the end of the great wars -- the "home" time of the BW characters, and the time to which they returned at the end of the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon.

For both senses of the term, ''[[Universe]]'' is sometimes included as well, as it consists largely of BW and BM toys and characters in a fictional setting that overlaps with and extends the BW/BM fiction.

IDW's four issue mini series Beast Wars The Gathering can also be included in continuity as its premise is based on an unresolved plot point from the American Beast Wars cartoon.

Tyger Pax is a location found on the Cybertron depcited in the 2007 movie's continuity. It is both a battleground and a key feature to a strategy devised by Optimus Prime and it was made historic for several reasons: 1, Many Autobots gave their lives to ensure the plan worked. 2, It was the encounter that served as bait to distract Megatron as the Allspark was launched into space. It was the last time he was seen by any Transformer. 3, It is where Bumblebee was made a hero, distracting Megatron just long enough. The cost was his own voice box.<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>

'''Idea and Design Works, LLC''' currently owns the [[Transformers]] comic book license as of May 2005, following the financial collapse of the previous license holder, [[Dreamwave]], at the tail-end of 2004. The flagship title is a rebooted [[Generation 1|G1]] continuity written by longtime Transformers scribe [[Simon Furman]], with art by [[E.J. Su]] (who's previously worked on [[G.I. Joe/Transformers Vol. 2]] for [[Devil's Due]]).

==Series published==
=== G1 rebooted ===

IDW's main ''Transformers'' comic line is overseen by Simon Furman, who has taken a fresh approach to Generation 1 continuity. All the familiar faces are present (although some have slightly different forms), but emphasis is given to character over action and as a result the details of the continuity are more sophisticated.

Instead of an ongoing civil war on Cybertron which spills over to Earth by accident, Furman presents us with an interstellar cold war between the Autobots and Decepticons, a war of Codes of Interplanetary Conflict and alt-form-and-dagger covert operations, with Energon the prize and whole planets at stake. However, a surprising development on Earth promises to heat up the war and turn our planet from just another proxy battleground into the ultimate prize...

*''[[Infiltration]]'' - Establishes the presence of the Transformers on modern-day Earth and re-establishes the theme of "robots in disguise" as central to the new continuity. A seven-issue story arc (issues #0 to #6).
*''[[Escalation]]'' - Sequel to ''Infiltration''. A six-issue story arc.
*''Devastation'' - Reportedly the sequel to ''Infiltration'' and ''Escalation''.
*''Revelation'' - Reportedly the sequel to ''Infiltration'', ''Escalation'', and ''Devastation.''
*''[[Stormbringer (comics)|Stormbringer]]'' - Companion four-issue mini-series tie-in to ''Infiltration,'' establishing Cybertron's current situation in the re-boot and focusing squarely on the Transformers.
*''[[New Avengers/Transformers]]'' - A collaboration between Marvel Comics and IDW featuring the first ever crossover between the Transformers and New Avengers. Though it will have minimal effects on the overall universe it is specifically designed to fit into continuity between Infiltration and Escalation
*''[[Megatron: Origins]]'' - Details the events surrounding Megatron's rise to power and the founding of the [[Decepticon]] faction.
*''[[Spotlight (comics)|Spotlight]]'' - Series of one-shot stories focusing on a single Transformer per issue.

===Beast Wars===
Taking place within the Beast Wars Cartoon universe this line eschews the previous [[3H]] fan club comics that previously continued the show's story to strike out in a new direction focusing mainly on the non-show toy characters.
*''[[The Gathering|Beast Wars: The Gathering]]'' - Marking the 10th anniversary of the [[Beast Wars]] franchise.
*''[[The Ascending|Beast Wars: The Ascending]]'' - A new Beast Wars story planned for release in August 2007.
*A Beast Wars profile series is also due August 2007.

===Evolutions===
A series of [[Wikipedia:Elseworlds|Elseworlds]]-like stories that exist in their own separate continuities, each taking different takes on Transformers.
*''[[Hearts of Steel]]'' - Places the Transformers in the American west during the Industrial Revolution.

Scorponok (Movie)

2007-05-21T18:56:02Z

65.219.235.164: /* Ghosts of Yesterday */

{{disambig3|Scorponok}}

:''Scorponok is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Movie (franchise)| live-action Transformers movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Scorponok.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Hugs!!!!!!!!]]

'''Scorponok''' is a small transformer with a symbiotic connection to [[Blackout (Movie)| Blackout]]. Barely sentient, his main drives are to hunt, destroy, and hunt some more. Since he can tunnel underground with frightening speed, he's incredibly good at ambush attacks.

== Fiction ==
===Ghosts of Yesterday===
He helped Blackout fight Optimus, and sabotaged the ''Ark''.

===''Transformers'' (2007) movie===

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
*'''Scorponok''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-04'''

[[Image:Move_DeluxeScorponok_toy.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Ever notice every [[Scorponok]] has the same transformation? Claws into claws, legs from the main body, tail sits behind hoping to be ignored...]]

: Scorponok is a robotic scorpion superficially resembling a ''Zoids'' Death Stinger. His body is covered in military warning and command designation markings, suggesting he forms part of a larger military vehicle (hint, hint). Two wheels on the bottom of his beast mode, when pushed on a flat, smooth surface, rotates gears that causes the turbines in his body and the pincers on his arms to spin. His tail features a spring-loaded, yet non-launching stinger that extends when a latch is released.

: In beast mode, Scorponok can combine with the underside of Blackout's helicopter mode to exploit the larger Decepticon's own gear gimmick system. A geared shaft linked to Blackout's rotor mechanism connects to a geared peg on Scorponok's back. Thus, pressing the button on Blackout's tail not only rotates his blades, but also rotates Scorponok's pincers and the turbines in his body.

: Scorponok can transform into what might be ''charitably'' called a robot mode, but was most likely added as an afterthought to the design, perhaps for added play-value. In any case, this robot mode never appears in the movie.

*'''Blackout''' (Voyager, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-01'''

: Blackout comes packed with a small silver figurine of Scorponok, who himself features a spring-loaded tail. He is usually stored in a cage on the rear of Blackout's helicopter mode.

*'''Decepticon Desert Attack''' (multi-pack, 2007)
:An unchanged Deluxe Scorponok is packaged with a similarly unaltered Voyager Blackout (which also includes Blackout's mini-Scorponok) in this package, which will be available only at Toys R Us.

==Trivia==
* According to writer [[Roberto Orci]] on the official Transformers Movie board, [[Ravage]] was originally going to appear in the movie, but was later changed to Scorponok when the setting of the scenes changed.

==Prequel Material==
IDW Publishing released a four issue limited comic series entitled 'Prime Directives' which chronicles the events which bring the Transformers to Earth. A novel, 'Ghosts of Yesterday', is about humankind's first venture into space and that event's importance to the Transformers choice to come to Earth.

'''Spoliers Warning'''
This section is not complete.

Cybertronian leaders Optimus Prime and Lord Megatron, no longer on the same page and whose ambitions for their race have changed, are now at war which each other. Their factions, the Autobots and Decepticons, battle for ownership of the Allspark, the source of their exsistence and a wealth of powerful secrets.

During the battle of Tyger Pax, Autobots Bumblebee and Arcee lead a contingent of troops to hold off the Decepticon forces while Optimus oversees an operation to send the Allspark out into space, away from Megatron. The Decepticons overtake Bumblebee's forces and torture the troops, hoping to learn the Allspark's location. Megatron arrives to force the answer out when he witnesses the Allspark blasting off. Bumblebee restrains him long enough for the Allspark to get away. Megatron, infuriated, rips out Bumblebee's voice box and transforms to begin pursuit of the Allspark.

Starscream assumes leadership of the Decepticons in Megatron's absence and commits to their cause of finding the Allspark. Megatron's fate, however, is not as much of an interest as his troops believe it to be.

Megatron tracks the Allspark back to Earth, but falls into the Artic Ocean only to become completely frozen and not unearthed until the 1700s. Discovered by Professor Witwicky, Megatron's frozen form is kept hidden and guarded by a covert division of the American military, named Sector Seven. However, exposure to Megatron seemingly drives Witwicky insane.

Research of Megatron's form leads Sector Seven to develop a space vessel capable of traveling outside of our Solar System. Launched simaltaneously as the Apollo 11 mission, the ship successfully travels out of our corner of the galaxy. It is noticed by both the Decepticon warship ''The Nemesis'', as well as the Autobot's transport ''The Ark''.

Bumblebee arrives on Earth and takes the form of a 1970s Camaro as a disguise as he begins to scout not only for the Allspark, but possibly Megatron as well.

'Sparkplug' Witwicky gives his 13 year old son, Sam, an antique pair of eyeglasses that belonged to an ancestor, an ancestor who happened to be the first human to encounter a Cybertronian. Sam see them as anything special and decides he may be able to sell them one day...

==Storyline==
[[Image:Transformers2007teaserposter.jpg|right|thumb|200px|How's this for a sequel: Unicron's back, but this time he's a hard-boiled private eye...]]

The movie features a small, yellow Autobot named Bumblebee, who befriends the teenage human, Spike Witwicky. He and his fellow Autobots, the medic Ratchet, the rough-and-tumble cowboy Ironhide, and the smooth and super-cool Jazz (who has a car hood for a chest and a visor for eyes) are led by Optimus Prime, a red and blue robot with a distinctive mouthplate, windows in his chest and a grill in his stomach who transforms into a truck. Optimus Prime's nemesis is an evil, silver, bucket-headed robot named Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. The Decepticons' ranks include a pissed-off tank named Brawl, a mechanical scorpion named Scorponok, and a jet fighter named Starscream, who schemes to take command of the Decepticons from Megatron, as both sides battle over the legendary object that can grant new Transformer life.

{{sarcasm}}

This, of course, is ''nothing'' like Transformers.
