[[Image:ROTFBludgeonTRUArt.jpg|thumb|300px|Foolish Whirl! To a master of Metallikato, your moves are like— ''grhk'']]

'''Bludgeon''' is a [[Metallikato]] martial-artist, loyal to the Decepticon cause and armed with an ancient blade handed down from ancient times. Underneath the samurai trappings though, he's a pretty straightforward 'con: he loves giving people a kicking, he's willing to fight dirty, and he doesn't give a fig about your complaints of immorality. Things like that, and his willingness to use a [[high-voltage electric cannon]] when fights go against him, are why other Metallikato users believe he's not a true master. <ref> [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/play/details.cfm?guid=841165f8-19b9-f369-1057-0b57c1e069b6 Hasbro Battle Bio]</ref> But what does he care, he just shot you with a cannon!

One thing he does care about: he really, ''really'' gets focused on rivals and proving he's the best of them. If the rival defeats him, hey, he'll just find a new one to obsess over, no matter how much damage he took from the last.

He likes how [[Earth]] is full of innocent victims to use against Autobots, but he could do without all that disgusting greenery and [[water]] (urg!). It has other possibilities too: a smart, canny, dirty-fighting 'Con could [[Decepticon leader|lead his ''own'' faction]] if they played their cards right...

==Fiction==
===Toy bios===
Bludgeon and [[Whirl (ROTF)|Whirl]] were rivals in Metallikato, and when they ran into each other on Earth a battle ensued, a fight to the finish that would take only microseconds. And, well, Bludgeon lost. He was almost killed and retreated.

He reemerged in the jungles of Southeast Asia, having scanned a new tank mode and brandishing a frightening new skeleton-like robot mode. He lies in wait for [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], who was drawn to Bludgeon's location by his acts of mayhem. Unfortunately for Ironhide, Bludgeon is eager to prove his mettle against an Autobot in battle and restore his honor...

===Cyber Missions===

[[Image:CyberMission1-Bludgeon.jpg|left|thumb|300px|The one fiction in which his toy actually has swords, he uses a tree. Go figure.]]

{{quote|Ironhide! I will extinguish your spark beneath my treads!}}

When Bludgeon and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] descended on [[Diego Garcia]], they interrupted an Autobot mission briefing. While Bumblebee stayed inside to guard its precious [[Datatrax|data tracks]] from Soundwave, Ironhide headed outside, where he was happy to face Bludgeon in battle, ramming him off the road. Bludgeon was able to temporarily thwart Ironhide when he snuck up behind the Autobot and hit him with a tree. The Decepticon wondered if he'd be as smart without that ugly head of his. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 1}}

[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] radioed Ironhide to hold off fighting Bludgeon until reinforcements arrived, but Ironhide didn't have the option. Bludgeon cursed the organic environment in which he was staged, and drew his weapon. When the fight reached an apparent stalemate, Ironhide offered Bludgeon amnesty if he joined the Autobots. Bludgeon refused, citing the wrath of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], and dove backwards off a waterfall. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 2}}

Megatron led the Decepticons on a mission to free the captured Soundwave. It was an Autobot trap. Bludgeon fought with [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] until an army of the Autobots' human allies surrounded the battlefield. Optimus Prime gave each Decepticon a choice: Leave Earth or be destroyed. Bludgeon and the other Decepticons chose to leave Earth. {{storylink|Decepticons Attack}}

===Titan Magazines ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comics===

[[Image:Bludgeon_uk2.9.jpg|right|thumb|275px|Ah, that's much better.]]

One fine day, Bludgeon said to himself that he'd quite like to run his own group of Decepticons. But where could he find recruits? Well, there sure are a lot of them in [[NEST]]'s prison... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} And so, pretending to be after an unspecified goal, Bludgeon entered the city of [[Las Vegas]] and waited for the Autobots to notice. The Autobots' plan was to allow the Decepticon to leave the city and safely attack him in the empty desert, but the impulsive [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] couldn't hold himself back, and leapt into battle before Bludgeon had departed. The mighty martial artist shrugged off a blow from Jolt's electro-whip and severed the weapon with a slash of his sword, before hurling the Autobot through the wall of a nearby casino.

Bludgeon taunted Jolt by commenting on the proliferation of [[human]]s and how little the Decepticons cared for them, as a precursor to transforming into a tank mode and taking aim at some hapless gamblers. Jolt hurled himself into the path of Bludgeon's blast, and as he lay wounded, Bludgeon rubbed salt into his wound by reminding him that none of this would have happened if he had just followed his orders. Bludgeon attempted to deliver a killing strike with his sword, but Jolt rolled away at the last second, causing Bludgeon to embed his blade in the ground instead. In that moment, Jolt seized the immobilized sword and used his electrical powers to channel the entire output of the Las Vegas power grid through the blade, straight into Bludgeon himself! Bludgeon was knocked offline by the massive power surge, and taken into Autobot custody. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}}

[[Image:Titan13_BrawnVersusBludgeon.jpg|left|thumb|250px|"I'll hit his shoulder at ''some'' point!"]]

Later, in NEST's [[South Africa]] maximum security prison, Bludgeon decided to make his bid for freedom. Halfway through [[Brakedown (ROTF)|Brakedown]] taunting him over his easy defeat, Bludgeon released [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]] from a hidden compartment to remove his restraints. Now armed and dangerous, he freed all the other prisoners, murdered Brakedown to encourage discipline, and led a vicious attack on the few, helpless Autobot guards. Reinforcements eventually arrived, just in time to stop him from murdering a beaten [[Brawn (ROTF)|Brawn]], but had to let the Decepticons leave to avoid civilian casualties, and Bludgeon had his little army... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} [[Image:Titan18_Bludgeoncallsit.jpg|right|thumb|220px|Form blazing sword!]]

Bludgeon kept out of the spotlight, but his unit would attempt to reconstruct the monstrous [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}} and recruit the Autobot beserker [[Blazemaster]] into their ranks. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}} Finally, after three Decepticons were neutralised in [[Utah]], he decided to declare open war {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.18|Shadow War}}, with a scheme to wear down and destroy NEST to cut off the Autobot's support before he came for them.

However, NEST worked out his base was in [[Russia]]... but [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] turned traitor and informed Bludgeon in advance of the NEST/Autobot raid. Bludgeon, an adaptable sort, abandoned his previous plan and quickly organised an all-out assault: the enemy were ambushed, boxedthe enemy in, and worn down them down, and he personally murdered [[Slap Dash]] and wounded/killed [[Hubcap (TF 2010)|Hubcap]]. However, that's when the person Wheelie was ''really'' working for arrived: Megatron. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.20|Divided Loyalties}} While his men wet themselves, Bludgeon wasn't impressed and fought Megatron to keep control of his faction, but after a brief fight the "pretender" (gettit? gettit?!) was beaten down, spared from death only because Megatron might have use for him. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.21|A Short, Sharp Lesson}}

===''Unite for the Universe''===
{{quote|Alas, poor Bludgeon... I knew him. A fellow of limited ambition, non-existent social skills, and zero sense of humor.|Starscream gets all Shakespearian with a hologram of Bludgeon's head|"[[Unite for the Universe issue 1|Ambition Instigated]]"}}

Megatron offered Bludgeon, one of the Decepticons' most dependable and calculating warriors, control of the Decepticon forces on [[Earth]] if he could deliver to Megatron the "[[Unite]]" technology that [[N.E.S.T.]] had been developing. Bludgeon assured Megatron that he would not fail him. [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], a spectator to this conversation, unwittingly expressed his displeasure—Earth was his, not Bludgeon's! When Megatron chastised Starscream for his outburst, Starscream made secret plans to sabotage Bludgeon's efforts.

Bludgeon led a team consisting of [[Dirge (ROTF)|Dirge]], [[Mindwipe (ROTF)|Mindwipe]], and [[Brakedown (ROTF)|Brakedown]] to the [[N.E.S.T. Advanced Research Facility]] in [[Japan]]. Dirge and Mindwipe complained that they had sneaked into N.E.S.T.'s proximity on foot, since the two could have easily arrived much faster in their flight modes, but Bludgeon reminded them that their plan would succeed only via stealth. Unfortunately for Bludgeon, the element of surprise would not be his, as a team of Autobots was waiting for him there, as their mission had been tipped off by an anonymous source. Bludgeon immediately suspected Starscream of being behind this treachery, and, sure enough, Starscream made this quickly apparent. Compromised, Bludgeon called for a retreat, but he and his troops were buried under ice by Autobot firepower. {{Storylink|Unite for the Universe issue 1|The Secret of Project: Unite}}

Some time later, Bludgeon violently emerged from his would-be icy tomb, swearing vengeance against Starscream. Though Starscream believed Bludgeon destroyed, Bludgeon instead viewed Starscream's efforts to retrieve "Unite" technology from afar. After [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] returned successful from one of Starscream's missions, Bludgeon planned to follow the cat back to his master so he could at last enact his revenge. {{storylink|Unite for the Universe issue 1|Ambition Instigated}}

===IDW movie comics===
After Megatron's defeat at the [[Star harvester|Star Harvester]] in Egypt, Starscream gathered his own followers and hatched his own plans for conquest. To this end, Starscream sent Bludgeon and several other Decepticons under his command after a small Transformer named [[Brains]] who had fallen under the protection of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and [[Sam Witwicky]]. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2}} In addition to Bumblebee, [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] and [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]] opposed the Decepticons, and in the chaos of battle, Bludgeon accidentally killed [[Storm Surge (Movie)|Storm Surge]] while trying to shoot the invisible Mirage. He wasn't all that remorseful about his mistake. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}} Once the Decepticons learned that [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] had arranged their mission in order to divert attention away from his own activities, they lost interest in fighting and attempted to retreat, but the Autobots wouldn't let them. Bludgeon was last seen laying defeated on the ground with a wound to his chest. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

*'''Master of Metallikato''' (Figure Multi-pack 2009)
**''Accessories:'' Two blades

:Bludgeon is a [[redeco]] of Deluxe Class [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] from the [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie toyline]]. The figure transforms into an [[wikipedia:Stryker|M1126 Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicle]] in green and brown, armed with a M2 .50 cal machine gun and two other machine guns mounted extending out of the troop compartment. In vehicle mode, he sports "KN-2764" markings, a reference to "SAGE2764", a member of a Chinese newsgroup Hasbro deco designer [[Joe Kyde]] had previously used to disseminate [http://tformers.com/Unknown-Megatron-Drawing-Possible-Movie-Design/6030/news.html hoax information] for a thesis project. ("SAGE2764" had previously also been featured on the license plate of [[Barricade_(Movie)#Deluxe Class toys|Recon Barricade]] from the first [[Movie (toyline)|movie toy line]].) His [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature is activated during transformation by swinging his machine gun down, pushing it against a translucent purple panel, which simultaneously raises his shoulders, lowers his torso, raises his head and extends his stomach-mounted cannon all in one movement.

:The smaller machine gun weapons feature flip-out energy blades that can be held in his hands, mounted under his forearms or on any of the wheels. They can also connect together to form an undocumented but certainly intended double-bladed weapon; mounting this on his forearm wheels gives him an awesome spinning blade weapon.

:This figure was only available in the [[Toys"R"Us]] -[[exclusive]] Master of Metallikato battle pack with [[Whirl (ROTF)|Whirl]], but it was also found at Winners stores in Canada. Also, this toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] by [[IDW Publishing]] as an upgraded form for [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]].

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-20'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Wikipedia:Katana|katana]], [[Wikipedia:Tant%C5%8D|tantō]] (see notes below)

:[[size class|Voyager class]] Bludgeon transforms from a green and orange Japanese [[Wikipedia:Type 90 Kyū-maru|Type 90]] tank into a skeletal samurai robot mode which homages the Generation 1 [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s [[Pretender]] shell, in colors that homage both the shell and the original inner robot. Bludgeon features a flexible plastic sword which is made out of a portion of the barrel of the tank's main gun as well as a smaller dagger. The dagger can be stored in a sheath which is revealed from inside the tank turret, and both blades can be slotted in holes provided on the robot mode's left hip guard. Additionally, the dagger's handle can fit in the base of the sword's handle, forming a double-bladed weapon.

:The vehicle mode is one of the very few Transformer tank toys with rubber components to its treads. Portions of the tread links can unlock, allowing them to hang from the robot mode, while the wheels of the treads are integrated separately into the robot mode form itself. The treads still do not function realistically; small plastic wheels on the underside of the treads help the tank mode roll, as is standard with nearly all Transformer tank toys.

[[Image:ROTFBludgeon_japanese_instructions.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Japanklok, making toys '''METAL''' since 1984.]]

:There is a paint application error on Bludgeon that keeps his painted wheels out of sight in vehicle mode. The ratcheting hip joint is also flipped 180 degrees from what it should be, with two further ratchet divots on top of the hip than inside of it, meaning the mechanism in the upper leg is trying to click into a smooth surface. The toy seems to have been originally designed to feature light-piping in the head, though this feature is however rendered useless with it being cast in the same solid gray plastic used for his arms, weapons, shoulders and mech-alive features.

:The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of Bludgeon has a different [[instructions|instruction sheet]] that actually labels the weapons as a [[wikipedia:katana|katana]] and [[wikipedia:tantou|tantou]], whereas the Hasbro release doesn't label them at all.

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into [[Banzaitron]].

==Notes==

* The Deluxe class Bludgeon's color scheme was used as a disguise by Wreckage in [[IDW Publishing]]'s [[Alliance issue 2|''Alliance'' #2]] comic, before the identity of the toy as Bludgeon was publicly confirmed.
* The origin of Voyager class Bludgeon is older than one may expect. Artist [[Don Figueroa]] submitted a concept for a [[Unicron Trilogy]] Bludgeon toy that looked ''very similar'' to the final product way back during the development of the ''[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' or ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toylines. Obviously, the concept wasn't put into production as a toy at the time, so Figueroa used it as inspiration for his [[IDW Publishing]] ''[[Stormbringer (comics)|Stormbringer]]'' [[Bludgeon (G1)#IDW comics continuity|rendition of Generation 1 Bludgeon]]. However, Hasbro evidently resurrected the concept for the ''Universe'' (as mentioned by Hasbro at [[BotCon 2009]]) and then the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' lines. Figueroa notes that his contribution on this toy is very small, as his work on it ended when he submitted the concept to Hasbro way back when.

[[Image:Titan_bludgeonexesslapdash.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Smile for the camera!]]

*Although the Japanese instruction sheet of the Voyager class toy states that the shorter sword is a [[Wikipedia:Tant%C5%8D|短刀 (''tantō'')]], its shape resembles a [[Wikipedia:Wakizashi|wakizashi (脇差)]]. Similarly, the longer blade that is referred to as a [[Wikipedia:Katana|刀 (katana)]] is too long, and thus more better resembles an [[Wikipedia:Ōdachi|ōdachi (大太刀)]].

*Bludgeon is one of only two Decepticons in Titan's stories that has explicitly been shown [[death|killing]] someone on panel, and twice (''three'' times if Hubcap is dead).

:''Jetfire is a [[Decepticon]] and [[Autobot]] from the [[Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:ROTF_Jetfire.jpg|thumb|351px|Get off my lawn, you young whippersnippers!]]

In his day, '''Jetfire''' was a living legend both in the air and on the battlefield. Sadly, his day has long since passed. His body went south years back. His bunny is dead on the wheel. He's got rust in places he didn't even know he had. Basically, Jetfire's old! An ancient Decepticon [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]], Jetfire was around long before the war broke out, and unlike many, came to see his "comrades" for what they were. This caused him to defect to the Autobots, something virtually unheard of. As a consequence, Jetfire never managed to fully obtain the trust of the others back in the day<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro Jetfire Battle Bio]</ref>.

He's still a fine asset, powerful and able to activate a [[space bridge]] to teleport across great distances. This is slightly offset by the fact he's so old.
After years without a proper source of energon, he's practically falling apart. His processor gave up the ghost millennia ago. These days he has a hard enough time remembering his name, and he's lucky if his teleporting puts him on the right planet. It makes him a bit crotchety and also leaves him with the nagging feeling he's forgotten something important.

===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance4_Jetfire.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Hopefully I won't end up on some [[earth|godforsaken planet]] and be infested with [[Maximal|disgusting little critters.]]]]
In the distant past, the [[AllSpark]] Cube created [[Thirteen original Transformers|a race]] of powerful, trans-dimensional beings as the first inhabitants of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The Cube gave these beings mighty powers, as well as terraforming their world, but it was not limitless, and gradually became depleted. The first beings learned that the AllSpark's power could be replenished by harvesting the energy of stars, but they were unable to locate new stars to suit their purposes, despite their amazing ability to travel between dimensions. Once again, the Cube came to the rescue, creating a race of workers who had the ability to change their shape.

Jetfire was among the very first of these new beings, a "[[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]]" with the ability to travel across the vastness of space in search of new suns. Once located, he would lead others and his masters back to it so a [[Star harvester|harvester]] could be constructed to drain the energy of these stars, thus replenishing the AllSpark. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}

[[Image:JetfireROTF-TalesoftheFallen.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Not a great judge of character, that Jetfire.]]

Jetfire served directly under the [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] who would become [[The Fallen]], finding for him various stars to harvest, believing he was serving the [[Dynasty of Primes]] as a whole, rather than The Fallen's machinations in specific. Over time, The Fallen began to open up to Jetfire, his most loyal and capable Seeker, and told him that the Dynasty no longer served Cybertron's best interests. Jetfire had unwittingly sacrificed a populated star system under The Fallen's misdirection, and became confused.

Still, Jetfire continued to work with The Fallen, despite his doubts. His master and a small army of [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]] drones had fashioned a new, secret faction called the Decepticons with the intention of eventually subverting the Dynasty. Jetfire followed them to a desert on a small blue planet to build another star harvester when [[human|primitive]] life made itself known. The Dynasty arrived soon thereafter to put an end to The Fallen's betrayal. Jetfire realized too late that he was on the wrong side, and so The Fallen warped Jetfire and the other "underlings" ''into orbit'' so that the Primes could face each other alone. As they fell planetward, Jetfire fought the Constructicons, and was eventually victorious, but with a price. He crashed from orbit into the Earth and laid dormant for thousands of years.

[[Image:Sector7_Jetfire.jpg|left|thumb|200px|]]

After he awoke, Jetfire began wandering the Earth {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3}} periodically adopting new alternate modes to remain hidden. In [[1898]], while disguised as a portion of the [[United States Navy]] vessel the USS ''Maine'', Jetfire sensed energy similar to the Fallen's, and broke away from the wooden housing that form the rest of his alternate mode (inadvertently leading his human crew to believe they had been attacked, thereby initiating the Spanish-American War) that he might settle the score. Tracking the signal to the Arctic, he instead found a near-comatose robot bearing the Decepticon mark instead. Upon discovering that he was ''not'' The Fallen, but someone Jetfire had never heard of named [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the Seeker just punched him and turned to leave. At this point, Jetfire realized he had an audience: a [[First Seven|group of humans]] who had been studying Megatron, and who reacted to Jetfire's presence by shooting at him. Jetfire promptly seized [[Billy North|his attacker]] and hurled him to his death, while the other humans used explosives to crack the ice sheets and send Jetfire plummeting into the frigid depths. {{storylink|Original}}

[[Image:Sector7 2 Jetfire.jpg|right|thumb|200px|]]

At the bottom of the ocean, Jetfire discovered a subterranean cave network in which he took refuge. Sensing a familiar energy source somewhere on the planet, the Seeker began to seek... but he was growing progressively low on power, and it took him fifteen years of crawling about underground before he could track the signal to its source. Along the way, he was confronted by [[Cave brute|strange, inhuman beasts]] that inhabited the caves, and slew all those that dared attack him. Finally, in [[1913]], addled and sluggish from lack of energy, he found the source of the signal: the AllSpark itself, which was in the process of being excavated by the same humans he had met in the Arctic! Fending off another attack on his person, Jetfire reached for the cube, inadvertently triggering a discharge of [[energon (fuel)|Energon]] from it that brought [[AllSpark Mutation|several surrounding machines to life]], and overloaded his systems. To expend the excess energy, Jetfire promptly teleported via [[space bridge]] to parts unknown. {{storylink|Irreplaceable}}

[[Image:Sector 7 4 Jetfire and Panzer-Giganten.jpg|left|thumb|200px|]]

Jetfire next surfaced in [[1944]], in the form of a Lockheed P-38 Lightning, when he was captured by [[Nazi]] scientists during [[World War II]] and imprisoned in a cryo-chamber in [[Castle Neuschwanstein]]. The Nazis studied his body and mind, reverse-engineering transforming tank-mecha from his systems and prising a map of the cave system from his memory. When [[Sector Seven]]—the government organization which had grown out of that original group of humans Jetfire had fought in the Arctic—got wind of the new Nazi technology, they dispatched a unit led by [[William Simmons]] to find and destroy Jetfire. Simmons was the only survivor of the team, and made it into Castle Neuschwanstein before being confronted by the Nazis' ultimate creation, the [[Panzer-Giganten]], which he tried to destroy by throwing a satchel of explosives at it. The explosives instead struck Jetfire's chamber, freeing the Seeker from his confinement, and he proceeded to stop the Panzer-Giganten by tearing out of its human components. Demanding to know how humans could do something so hideous to their own kind, Jetfire was told by Simmons that it was not his doing, and that he believed his bomb would have killed them all, prompting Jetfire to inquire why he valued his life so little. Simmons retorted that he did value his life, but valued freedom more, something that gave Jetfire pause, reminding him of his reasons for turning on The Fallen millennia before. Seeing a kinship in Simmons and in humanity that he had not felt before, he silently destroyed the castle and everyone in it, then flew Simmons to an Allied outpost before disappearing once more. {{storylink|Weapon (issue)|Weapon}}

[[Image:Sector7 5 Jetfire.jpg|right|thumb|200px|]]

Jetfire's experience with Simmons deeply affected him, and he evidently shadowed the man and his organization over the following five years, taking the form of a Lockheed U-2 spy plane. In [[1954]], he was present when sabotage at Sector Seven's Arctic base left Simmons and a small crew trapped with a rapidly-thawing Megatron. [[Walter Simmons]] called for liquid nitrogen bombs to be dropped on the complex, at which point Jetfire swooped to intervene, transforming and shielding the younger Simmons's wife [[Anne Fischer|Anne]] and [[Philip Nolan]] from the freezing blast. When Jetfire sadly informed Walter that he had been unable to save William, Walter could only ask why he had done anything at all. Jetfire explained that William's nobility had driven him to atone for past sins: before departing, Jefire told him that he was no longer the creature Walter had met in those caves half a century before... and Walter did not have to be either. {{storylink|Frozen}}

[[Image:Talesofthefallen3_Jetfire_Altmode.jpg|thumb|left|200px|]]

At some point in the latter half of the twentieth century, Jetfire was wandering in a desert when an SR-71 Blackbird crashed into him and exploded. Amidst the chaos, he took its form. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3}}

Jetfire was one of the Seekers dispatched by The Fallen to locate the [[Matrix of Leadership]] after the [[Dynasty of Primes]] hid it on Earth. However, Jetfire and the other Seekers were unable to locate the [[Tomb of the Primes|Tomb]] that the Primes had forged. The only clue they could find was a riddle: "When dawn alights the Dagger's tip, Three Kings will reveal the Doorway". Eventually, the Fallen abandoned the Seekers and they were forced to go into stasis lock out of a lack of energon.

[[Image:ROTF behold Jetfire.jpg|thumb|left|350px|Why am I in some mausoleum? I ain't dead! ...am I?]]

For many years, a dormant Jetfire had hidden in his alternate mode at the [[Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum]]'s [[wikipedia:Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center|Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center]], until [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Sam Witwicky]], [[Mikaela Banes]], [[Leo Spitz]] and [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] broke in with a small fragment of the [[AllSpark]]. It was only after the AllSpark shard hit Jetfire that they bothered to check which side he was on. The sight of the Decepticon [[insignia]] sent the humans scrambling for cover, but the surge of energy awoke him. Confused at the "hideous mausoleum" he was held in, Jetfire decided to head outside to get a better handle on where he was. After his attempts at overriding and shooting the doors failed, Jetfire smashed them aside, then wandered about the planes outside, damaging a few. When the humans tried to talk to them, he initially claimed that he couldn't deal with them, as he had a mission, but did ask what planet he was (he wasn't too fond of the name "Earth", feeling it might as well be called "Dirt"). Jetfire inquired on the state of the civil war, and revealed that he had defected to the Autobots (it's an intensely personal decision). This led the smaller Wheelie to defect to a [[Mikaela Banes|human female]] he dubbed "warrior goddess". After the human Sam asked what he was saying, Jetfire, still confused, pounded the ground and shouted that he had a lot of issues regarding his mother, and that his father was the first wheel, who did not transform but performed his functions with honor and dignity. At which point a parachute stored in him suddenly popped open, bringing him down. Sam then tried to explain what was going on.

[[Image:Jetfire-ROTFstandingindesert.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Look, an old man is telling a story!]]
When Sam was finished carving [[Cyberglyphics|Cybertronian symbols]] on the ground, he mentioned Megatron and [[The Fallen]]. Jetfire ranted that The Fallen was the original Decepticon and had left him on Earth to rust. The symbols were a part of Jetfire's mission, and they jogged his memory banks enough to convince him to open a [[space bridge]], teleporting the entire group (including [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Skids (ROTF)|the]] [[Mudflap (ROTF)|twins]], and Wheelie) to [[Egypt]]. Thankful that he had managed to stay on the planet, Jetfire then told them the story of the Dynasty of Primes and The Fallen, Cybertron's first contact with Earth, the [[star harvester]] which could destroy a [[Sun]] and convert it to energon, and the Matrix of Leadership needed to activate it, hidden on Earth. He revealed that only a [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] could kill The Fallen, but he believed that none were left. Sam told him of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]; this caught the ancient Seeker's interest, revealing eagerness in the Prime's whereabouts, but became distraught to hear of Prime's death. Sam then wondered if the Matrix could restore Optimus to life. Jetfire said it was not the Matrix's intended use, but that the power within was unlike any known. Sadly, this was all Jetfire could do for the group, and after telling them of the riddle, he urged them to hurry off and find the [[Tomb of the Primes]].

During the final [[Operation: Firestorm|battle]] around the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] (which contained the Star Harvester), Jetfire arrived and attempted to "stick" the landing, which didn't go quite as he planned. He immediately decided to "show how they brought the pain in my day", using his axe to slice [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]] across the chest and decapitate the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]. He was critically wounded by a surprise attack from [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] and although he managed to kill the Decepticon, the injury was fatal. Fortunately, Jetfire was treated to one last wonder, as Sam Witwicky used the Matrix to resurrect Optimus. Jetfire was overjoyed of the moment, hardly believing that he was seeing a living [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]. Unfortunately, The Fallen teleported in and attacked, damaging Optimus and stealing the Matrix, placing it in the harvester. As he lay dying, Jetfire, who felt that during his entire life he'd never done a thing worth doing, offered his parts to Optimus Prime, saying that they would give him "a power like you've never known". Telling Optimus to fulfill his destiny, Jetfire ripped out his spark core and died.

[[Image:ROTF movie Powered-Up Optimus Prime.jpg|right|thumb|300px|I'd rather be a part of someone than in a nursing home!]]

Jetfire's sacrifice was not in vain: within moments of his death, [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] instructed [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] to begin a full transplant of the afterburners and weapons systems onto Optimus. Now equipped with Jetfire's powerful weapons and engines, Optimus broke through a blockade of debris The Fallen had telekinetically erected around the Pyramid and destroyed the Star Harvester before it could be used against the Earth's Sun. Prime then faced the Fallen and Megatron, using his afterburners to send Megatron flying through some ruins. During the battle, The Fallen pulled off the left wing and afterburner, using them to strike Prime in the face, but Optimus ultimately triumphed and ripped out the Fallen's spark core, killing the treacherous Prime. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' novel adaptation===
Immediately after arriving in Egypt, Jetfire was attacked by [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]]. Calling Jetfire a traitor, the smaller Seeker fired a single shot which bounced off his target, and Jetfire promptly stomped Ransack to death, muttering how he'd never liked that guy. {{Storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (novel)}}

===Toy bios===

Sickened by the war, the Decepticon Jetfire left Cybertron and went into hiding on Earth. When the war came to Earth and woke him up, {{storylink|#Leader Class|Jetfire}} he decided to rejoin the fight on the side of the Autobots and use his might to bring his former comrades to justice. {{storylink|#Fast Action Battlers|Photon Missile Jetfire}}

===Titan Magazines===

Jetfire harkens from a time when warriors stood by a code of honour. He was first sent to Earth by the Fallen, and believed he was working in the best interests of Cybertron, and so was a ''little'' upset to find the Fallen was actually an evil bastard. After seeing the Fallen imprison the [[Dynasty of Primes|other Primes]], Jetfire went into hiding. In [[1998]], he took advantage of the SR-71 being retired to hole up in the National Air and Space Museum as a permanent resident.

At some point, he found himself at odds with the Decepticons' credo and switched sides. ''When'' is not clear. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Jetfire profile}}

[[Image:Jetfire-ROTFvideogame.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Jetfire only likes to play multiplayer, not solo, if you know what we mean.]]
:''Voice actor:'' [[Clive Revill]]

{{note|On [[August 27]], [[2009]], Jetfire was one of a handful of downloadable characters in a DLC pack for XBox 360 and Sony Playstation 3. He could be used in multiplayer games only.}}

====Xbox 360/Sony PS3/PC====
=====Autobot campaign=====
Jetfire had been dormant for years in the Smithsonian Museum, but that changed after [[Sam Witwicky]] got a tip from [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]] about his location, and that he would know where the [[Tomb of the Primes|Tomb of the Twelve]] was. Sam woke Jetfire up, and got the sort-of-cryptic clue "When dawn alights the Dagger's tip, Three Kings will reveal the Doorway". After that, Jetfire transported Sam to [[Cairo]] via [[space bridge]] to look for the Tomb, and the Autobots followed.

In Cairo, Jetfire assisted [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] in battle against [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. The battle went in the Autobots' favor, but Megatron was able to stab Jetfire to death. A while later, Optimus was wearing a new Jetfire suit. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

=====Decepticon campaign=====
Starscream was sent to destroy the Smithsonian Museum, where Jetfire laid dormant. He succeeded, but it was too late: both Jetfire and Sam Witwicky had already left for Cairo through a space bridge.

In Cairo, Jetfire battled Megatron alongside [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. He was killed. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

====Wii/PS2====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Clive Revill]]
Jetfire was hiding in a museum at one point, until [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] found and captured him with some [[drone]]s. Starscream reported to [[The Fallen]] that he had found Jetfire.

Jetfire was kept in the [[Decepticon]] base. After the Decepticons captured [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], Jetfire went to rescue him. Bumblebee thought he was a enemy, but Jetfire explained to Bumblebee that he defected to the [[Autobots]] at one point in the war and about the Fallen's plans. Later he showed Bumblebee some escape pods, and they witnessed the battle with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. Jetfire put Prime in one of the escape pods, and he left to spy on Megatron and Starscream.

After the two Decepticons got an artifact, Jetfire chased after them but Megatron shot at him. Jetfire followed them by tracking Energon radiation. Meanwhile Starscream found Optimus and attempted to kill him, but Jetfire took the shot that was meant for Optimus. Later he combined with Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (Wii/PS2)}}

===Transformers Autobots/Decepticons===
{{charstubfiction}}
In Autobots, Jetfire appears after you beat [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. The seeker doesn't appear again until after [[you]] beat Megatron. He doesn't get turned into a corpse backpack, and is standing silently next to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].
{{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen: Autobots/Decepticons}}

===Revenge of the Fallen (mobile game)===
Jetfire was an old friend of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s who defected from the Decepticons when [[The Fallen]] changed the Decepticon cause from rebellion to conquest. He ended up on [[Earth]] in [[Egypt]], where he was soundly defeated by [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]. Before he fell unconscious, he told [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] that Optimus should salvage his parts in order to gain the power needed to defeat [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. While he was unconscious, Optimus did just that, terminating Jetfire's life. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (Glu)}}

[[Image:ROTF Legends Prime Jetfire combo.jpg|thumb|left|Don't I look glorious as a corpse backpack?]]
:[[Size class|Legends]] class ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Jetfire transforms from a tiny [[Wikipedia: SR-71 Blackbird|SR-71 Blackbird]] spy plane to a sort of hunchback robot. In a bit of character design accuracy, his left arm has a cane.

:The upper fuselage of the plane mode has a thin rectangular peg to slot into the back of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Revenge of The Fallen|Legends class Optimus Prime]] to recreate the powered up mode at the end of the movie. There are no instructions on the packaging making mention of this, but they're hardly needed, as it's as simple as plugging him on and folding his wings backwards.

:Available only as part of the [[Kmart]]-[[exclusive]] "War for the Skies" Legends battlepack, this release of Legends class Jetfire is a grey and black [[redeco]] - essentially inverting the colors of the regular toy, give or take a few paint operations.

:He comes with the Legends-class figures [[Blades (ROTF)|Autobot Blades]], [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] and [[Spinister (ROTF)|Spinister]].

**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles, [[Sword]], Jetfire armour parts
:Jetfire appears in this set as snap-on armour parts for 2007 mold Voyager class Optimus Prime. Obviously the armour fits onto Optimus Prime's robot mode to form the Jet Optimus combination, but when removed can be assembled into a gun platform, or can be fitted to Optimus' vehicle mode as some sort of rocket booster. Optimus Prime himself has been redecoed similarly to Buster Optimus Prime, in that he has an extensive, accurate paint scheme.

====Leader Class toys====

*'''Jetfire''' (Leader, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-13'''
**''Accessories:'' Front landing gear/walking stick, rotary cannon missile launcher, projectile

:Jetfire converts into an [[wikipedia:SR-71 Blackbird|SR-71 Blackbird]] spy plane, quite possibly the largest alternate mode yet for the [[size class|Leader class]] price point.

[[Image:ROTF_Leader_Jetfire_PowerUpPrime_toy.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Jetfire died to become a power mushroom. There have been worse fates.]]

:Jetfire features several electronic lights and sounds; in jet mode, pushing the button on his back activates a "swooshing" noise, while in robot mode, a new button is revealed on his rear that triggers mechanical stomping sounds. Pressing the tab on Jetfire's chest activates his moving [[Mech Alive]] gears and head, accompanied by Jetfire announcing: "Jetfire's mah name!". The European version has the clip abbreviated to "Jetfire" (humorously, the way that the original clip is trimmed cuts off the end of the word, so it sounds like "Jetfi-"). Unlike previous ROTF Leader Class toys, this is not the version sold in the UK. In contrast to the film, where the character speaks with a Yorkshire accent, the toy is positively Scottish. Despite the back of the package showing two lights within Jetfire's torso, he only has one light, on his left side, while the other slot that would normally house the light is replaced with a button that emits Jetfire's transformation noise when the toy is transformed.

:As seen in the movie, he can combine with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Revenge of The Fallen|Leader Class Optimus Prime]] to form Prime's powered-up mode, albeit at the cost of Optimus Prime's leg articulation. A few inaccuracies are present in the combination instructions: for instance, while the instructions say to position the cockpit halves behind Prime's shoulders, they actually are meant to sit on top of them (as seen to the left), and feature small grooves into which the small silver triangular prongs lock. In addition, while Optimus' rear cab sections are shown as being folded out like rectangular wings in the instructions, it appears they are intended to sit flat against the sides of the portion of Jetfire that connects to Prime's back. Jetfire has two tabs that sit directly above the panels when folded back which better support the weight of Jetfire. The struts on which Jetfire's engines are mounted also pivot back to allow exactly enough space for the folded cab panels to fit. The remarkably small text written under the cockpit windows is: ''[[Brawley (ROTF)|LT. COL. BRAWLEY]] WARNING THIS AIRCRAFT CONTAINS A SEAT CONTAINING AN EXPLOSIVE CHARGE SEE MAINTENANCE MANUAL BEFORE REMOVING''.

:Amusingly, the figure's kibble likes to fall off during transformation. It makes him a little more screen accurate, after all...

* '''Jetpower Optimus Prime''' (Leader 2-pack, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' Front landing gear/walking stick, rotary cannon missile launcher, projectile

:This [[TakaraTomy]] Asian market [[exclusive]] Leader class two pack consists of a redecoed Jetfire and an altered [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys 2|Buster Optimus Prime]]. Jetfire has a more subtle, more [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] colour scheme, replacing his white and gunmetal blue parts with gunmetal brown. Buster Optimus Prime has the [[faceplate]]d head of the first release of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class Optimus Prime, instead of the new head sculpted for Buster Optimus Prime and prop vehicle-accurate blue pin striping instead of CGI-accurate white.

:In mid 2010, this set was released in Australia.

[[Image:Jetfire ROTF FAB toy.jpg|right|thumb|300px|NOBODY MOVE... I dropped me cane...]]
*'''Photon Missile Jetfire''' (Fast Action Battler, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' "Photon Missile" projectile

: [[Fast Action Battlers]] Jetfire is a simplified, roughly Deluxe-sized toy of Jetfire. In vehicle mode, he transforms into a sort of cute, super-deformed SR-71 Blackbird jet. As with most ''Transformers'' toy jets, he has a fair bit of undercarriage junk from his robot mode, though not to the extent of the Leader class toy. In robot mode he has a reasonably accurate depiction of Jetfire's design, though his right arm ends in a spring-loaded projectile launcher shaped like a rotary cannon.It also combines with Optimus Prime.

**''Accessories:'' Cane

: [[Robot Replicas]] Jetfire is a non-transformable, intended-to-be-accurate representation of his CGI model from the film. He is highly posable, and not much else. Due to his unusually large head and shortened neck, he appears based on the promotional art seen at the very top of this page, whose head and neck are severely foreshortened.

==Notes==
* While all the fictions agree that Jetfire was a Decepticon Seeker who defected and has been stuck on Earth for a long time, none agree on when and why he came to Earth, when and why he defected, or how long he snoozed. Random, confused mythos divergence? Now ''that's'' 80s nostalgia!

* Jetfire's head was redesigned so [[Industrial Light & Magic]] could animate a smirk on the character. This early, mouthless head was still used for the toy designs and promotional art though.<ref>[http://vfxworld.com/?atype=articles&id=4003 Scott Farrar's VFXWorld interview]</ref>

* Jetfire's ancient Cybertronian vehicle mode as seen in [[IDW Publishing]]'s [[Defiance issue 4|''Defiance'' #4]] bears more than a passing similarity with the starship ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' from ''[[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]''.

* Apparently, Jetfire was briefly active during the Cuban Missile Crisis, according to one of his comments in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video game]].

* According to an extended bio unlocked on the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] website by a code on "The Victory of The Fallen" toys box, Jetfire's body is filled with mysterious, powerful technology lost to the Autobots for centuries, which explains why it gave Optimus the boost he needed to defeat The Fallen.
