{{disambig3|Swerve}}

''Swerve is an [[Autobot]] from Generation 1''

'''Swerve''' is a menace to anyone driving nearby. He's easily distracted by just about anything that catches his attention. Despite this, he's quite intelligent and skilled as a metallurgist, analyzing the properties of a meterial with unique sensors in his hands. When he gets caught up in a scientific problem, he becomes almost laser-like in focus and intensity. Unfortunately, this generally leaves him just as distracted from any other tasks at hand, and just as accident prone a driver as ever. Swerve and "traffic accident" just go hand in hand. He's almost always in need of some repairs, major or minor, because of it.

== Fiction ==

===Generation 1 Cartoon===
Swerve participated in the defense of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] in 2006, but was trod upon by [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]].

*'''Swerve''' (Alternator, 2004)
:Swerve is a retool of [[Alternators]] [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] as a red 2005 Corvette. Only the robot head and the colours distinguish it from Tracks. He came with a flame hood decal reminiscent of the flames on Tracks' original toy, which was originally available with Tracks' ''[[Binaltech]]'' release.

Devastator (Universe Micromaster)

65.222.216.227:

{{disambig3|Devastator}}

''Constructicon Devastator is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Universe]] conflict.''

'''Constructicon Devastator''' is the sum of six [[Decepticon]]s, [[Bonecrusher (TFU) (Micromaster)|Bonecrusher]], [[Buckethead (TFU) (Micromaster)|Buckethead]], [[Hightower (TFU) (Micromaster)|Hightower]], [[Long Haul (TFU) (Micromaster)|Long Haul]], [[Quickmix (TFU) (Micromaster)|Quickmix]], and [[Scavenger (TFU) (Micromaster)|Scavenger]].

It is also unknown what, if any, connection he has with the '''other''' Decepticon combiner named [[Constructicon Devastator (TFU) (Ultra)|Constructicon Devastator]] active during the Universe conflict.

Of course, being a combiner composed entirely of [[Micromaster]]s, Constructicon Devastator is only of slightly larger than average height, as Transformers go. However, this size boost seems to be enough to let his components go toe-to-toe with opponents they could not handle individually.

The six individual members of Constructicon Devastator were packaged seperately, available originally as [[exclusive]]s to Kay-Bee stores, but later appeared in Sears stores during the Christmas season (Kay-Bee partnered with Sears, a chain that usually doesn't have a toy department), as well as being available online at K-Mart's web site.

Dinobot (BW)

2006-06-03T04:53:10Z

65.222.216.227: /* Toys */

{{Template:Disambig3|Dinobot}}
[[Image:Dinobotbwx.jpg|thumb|right|My rigid grill structure...]]

''Dinobot is a [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] and [[Maximal]] from the [[Beast Era]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] continuity.''

'''Dinobot''' is a Predacon ruled by honor. He lives to die gloriously in battle. When he aided [[Megatron_(BW)|Megatron]] in the theft of the [[Golden Disc]] under the order of [[Cryotek_(BW)|Cryotek]], Dinobot believed he was in the pursuit of endless glory. But when he and his Predacon peers crashed on a mysterious planet alongside a Maximal exploration vessel, his desire to be on the winning side turned him to the Maximal team. At first he feared his growing sense of right and wrong would clash with the demands of his Predacon heritage -- but perhaps they are not mutually exclusive after all.

=Fiction=
===Timelines===
===Beast Wars===
'''Voice Actor:''' [[Scott McNeil]] (US), [[Keiji Fujiwara]] (Japan)

Immediately after crash landing on [[Earth]], Dinobot turned on Megatron, claiming the Predacon commander had led them to the wrong planet. Unfazed by Dinobot's tirade, Megatron had [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]] blast him, and left him for dead. Dinobot left the Predacons and laid in wait for the Maximals to return to their base. Challenging [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus]] to a duel, Dinobot was determined to lead one faction or another and gain the glory he desperately sought. During the duel, Dinobot displayed a rare amount of honor, fair play, and self sacrifice and won the respect of Optimus, who asked him to join the Maximals. This didn't sit well with the other Maximals, particularly [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], but as the series went on the two became a strange sort of friends.

As a Maximal, Dinobot still displayed strong Predacon tendancies. He was usually more willing to go to the extreme in terms of tactics, use whatever weapons the Maximals had, and often advocated kicking the Predacons when they were down. He also proved to be fairly introspective, and did not miss the gravity of his own situation should the Maximals ever win the Beast Wars. [http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Victory_(Beast_Wars_episode)]

After the destruction of the [[Planet Buster]], and it became obvious that they were on Earth, Dinobot had a few crises of character. His honor and growing sense of doing the right thing were coming into direct conflict with his desires to be on the winning side and gain eternal glory. He broke into the Predacon [[Darkside|base]] and stole the golden disks from Megatron, hiding the one from Cybertron and taking the [[Vok|Alien]] disk back to the [[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]. Hiding the theft from his Maximal comrades, Dinobot agonized over the contents of the disk from Cybertron. He knew that the knowledge on the disk would make Megatron powerful enough to win the Beast Wars, and rewrite history. After this revelation, Dinobot's desire for victory and glory got the better of him and he rejoined the Predacons and gave Megatron the disk back. [http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Maximal,_No_More] However, his friendship with Rattrap proved to be too strong, he couldn't eliminate the "vermin", and he once again turned on Megatron and rejoined the Maximals.

Dinobot was lost. Had he fumbled his chance at being a great warrior? After contemplating suicide and getting berated by a hurt Rattrap for his betrayal, Dinobot set out to find Megatron and set things right. [http://www.transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Code_of_Hero] However, Megatron had led the Predacons to the valley occupied by the proto-humans, intending to wipe them out and change history. [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] saw the imminent attack and radioed for help before he was forced to head back to base for repairs. Dinobot responed to the call and took on all of the Predacons by himself. Ignoring the damage he took, the warnings of his own internal computer, and the danger to himself, Dinobot defeated all of the Predacons save Megatron. Mocking the weakened Dinobot, Megatron tallied the score firmly in his own favor. He had unimaginable power(i.e. the Golden Disk ), the valley was in ruins, and he had hostages. Refusing to quit, Dinobot improvised (with a wood and rock axe), snatched the disk from Megatron, and with the last of his power, shattered it with his eye beams. The effort cost him, and a short time after the rest of the Maximals arrived, Dinobot's spark left his frame.

Dinobot uses almost all of Longrack's new-mold parts save for the head; Hoist's was a dead ringer for Dinobot in the first place. He transforms into a Cybertronic excavator. Inserting a [[Cyber Planet Key]] or [[Golden Disk Key]] into his shoulder assmebly unlocks a shovel-punch attack activated by pressing on the plunger mechanism above the key port. Like Longrack, he does ''not'' come with a [[Mini-Con]] partner.

: The original version of this mold was also used to make ''[[Universe]]'' [[Ransack (TFU)|Ransack]].

Smokescreen (Armada)

{{Template:Disambig3|Smokescreen}}
{{Template:Disambig2|the Unicron Trilogy Autobot Smokescreen/Hoist|the Generation 1 Autobot Hoist|Hoist (G1)}}

''Smokescreen is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Armada]] and [[Energon_(franchise)|Energon]] portions of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] continuity. He took the name "'''Hoist'''" upon recieving a new body.''

[[Image:Smokescreen ut.jpg|thumb|300px|Smokescreen sure knows how to kill a conversation]]

Few Autobots are as tough and steadfast as '''Smokescreen'''. He doesn't believe in giving up, and is ready to lay down his life to defend the weak, be they Autobot, [[Mini-Con]] or [[human]]. Though he's ironheaded and unshakeable in battle, showing no mercy to the [[Decepticon]]s, around the base is another matter entirely. He's a kind, friendly bot who always seems to have a good word or good-natured joke ready.

''Japanese name: '''Grap''' ''

==Fiction==
===Armada Cartoon===
'''Voice Actor''': [[Dale Wilson]] (US), ??? (Japan)

===Dreamwave Armada/Energon Comics===

===3H Universe comics===
A presumably alternate-universe incarnation of Smokescreen is shown in a death-duel with a presumably alternate-universe incarnation of [[Generation 1]] [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]] within the [[Cauldron]] arena. Both robots' minds corrupted by [[Unicron]], crane-Smokescreen killed car-Smokescreen, gaining in power, while Unicron fed off the defeated robot's released [[spark]].

It is possible that this Smokescreen would have turned out to be [[Universe]] [[Smokescreen (TFU)|Smokescreen]] had the comic series continued.

==Toys==
===Armada===
*'''Smokescreen with Liftor''' (Deluxe, 2002)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MC-04'''
: Smokescreen transforms into a heavy Cybertronic truck with a large crane boom and tow-cable. flipping a switch on his back end connects the tow-cable spool to his rear axle, reeling in the cable as he rolls in vehicle mode. Attaching a Mini-Con to the [[Powerlinx]] plug on his crane boom allows it to extend and unfold to almost three times its original length, forming a ''huge'' spring-loaded missile launcher. He came with the Mini-Con [[Liftor (UT)|Liftor]], while in Japan he was also available in a multi-pack with the [[Race Mini-Con Team]].

: The same mold is used by Universe Smokescreen.

*'''Smokescreen''' (Happy Meal, 2002)
: One of eight McDonald's Happy Meal promotional toys, Smokescreen is an ''extremely'' simplified verison of the Armada toy, transforming into a crane. He features a "battle damage" gimmick where hitting a button on his front grill makes his crane-boom pop off, a gimmick simlar to Happy Meal [[Demolishor (UT)|Demolishor]].

*'''Hoist with Refute''' (Deluxe, 2003)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MC-11'''
: Smokesceen returned in a new body with the name "Hoist", transforming into a Cybertronic excavator, with a new Mini-Con partner [[Refute (UT)|Refute]] (who, in Japan, was just the upgraded form of Liftor). Plugging a Mini-Con onto his right arm unlocks his shovel-arm punch attack. The [[Takara]] version had a fairly significant color difference from the [[Hasbro]] version, replacing his dark brown with a swirled gunmetal.

: The same mold (with the molded Autobot sigil replaced by a smooth block for a sigil [[tampograph]]) is used by Universe [[Ransack (TFU)|Ransack]]. A heavily-[[retool]]ed version of the mold is used by [[Cybertron_(franchise)|Cybertron]] [[Longrack (UT)|Longrack]] and [[BotCon 2006]] [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]].

: ''('''Note''': It is widely believed that the Hoist mold was originally designed to be a separate character, but was changed to become a new Smokescreen body at the behest of Takara. Official confirmation or denial of this has not yet been obtained, however.)''

===Merchandise===
A soft-plastic PVC of Smokescreen was made for Act 10 of the [[SCF]] line in 2003. It came in both full-color and pewter-finish versions.
