==Toy Image Joke==
"That's the second biggest Decepticon insignia i've ever seen!"

Could the author enlighten us as to which was the largest by turning "biggest" into a link? [[User:Drmick|Drmick]] 11:07, 8 June 2009 (EDT)
:[[Giant Decepticon insignia|This one]], maybe? - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 11:16, 8 June 2009 (EDT)
::I think between that, and Astrotrain, and Dropkick, the joke pretty much fails. -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 11:51, 8 June 2009 (EDT)
:::Yep! Though I think the joke starts working again if we can get it up to "That's the fifteenth biggest Decepticon insignia I've ever seen!" So let's get crackin'. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 12:00, 8 June 2009 (EDT)
::::Perhaps we should change the caption to "I've seen bigger Decepticon insignias" with links to toys with larger ones. - [[User:Zadok Rox|Zadok Rox]] 12:20, 8 June 2009 (EDT)
:::::<nowiki>*</nowiki>pulls out sarcasm-o-meter* ...I'm sitting here trying to figure out how many of the people in this discussion actually did or didn't get the reference. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 12:43, 8 June 2009 (EDT)

== Beast Wars Reference? ==

Perhaps I am in folly here, but during the final battle, right after he shields himself from enemy fire and before Jetfire ''Slaughters'' him, he seems to pull a triple-barreled cannon from his nethers, which he fires once.
It might be just me, but the image really made me think of Beast Wars Rampage. Does this qualiffy as trivia?
[[User:ThiAthEhn|Mischa]] 06:10, 3 July 2009 (EDT)
:No, not at all. And Barricade wasn't in ROTF at all. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 06:25, 3 July 2009 (EDT)

== Misassembled ==
I actually got the cab-hinge working without having to flip any pieces, but has anyone tried swapping the figure's hips? They look like they should be on the opposite legs--that'd put the "finished" parts forward, hide the screw holes, and may even improve the range of motion. Is this worth adding to the article?

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

{{mainpic}}

'''Mixmaster''' is a [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]].

There are two of him, one of which forms [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]'s head!

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance4_Constructicons.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Not shown: Mixmaster learning to use a bone as a club.]]

In the distant past, the [[All Spark (Movie)|All Spark]] 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 All Spark'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.

Mixmaster was among the very first of these new beings, one of several "builders" who would construct a [[Solar harvester|harvester]] when a suitable sun had been found. Once built, the device would drain the energy of these stars, thus replenishing the All Spark. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4}} It is assumed that at some point during the civil war on Cybertron, he sided with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the new protege of Mixmaster's only surviving ancient master, [[The Fallen]].

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===

After the [[All Spark (Movie)|All Spark shard]] was retrieved from [[NEST]]'s secure bunker at [[Diego Garcia]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]], Mixmaster, [[Scalpel]], [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] and another Constructicon secreted themselves aboard the ''[[Bayos]]'' freighter heading towards the North Atlantic. Once the ship passed over the [[Laurentian Abyss]], the Decepticons jumped overboard and dived down to where [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron's]] broken body lay. Scalpel ordered the death of the smallest Constructicon to rebuild Megatron, an request that Mixmaster and the others obliged with. Soon, Megatron was reborn!

Some time later, Mixmaster and another Constructicon with the same [[body-type]] were present during the climactic battle in [[Egypt]] between the [[Autobot]]/NEST forces and [[The Fallen]]'s Decepticons. Mixmaster and several other Constructicons waited in a quarry in their construction vehicle disguises until the [[human]]s [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Leo Spitz]] and their Autobot guardians [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] approached. The Constructicons [[combiner|combined]] into the mighty Devastator and attacked. Elsewhere, the other Mixmaster fought against the NEST forces in the Egyptian town near the great ruins of the pyramids, using his cannon emplacement mode to cause serious problems, until the ex-Decepticon [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] arrived to slice him in half and crush his torso. Meanwhile, Devastator had shrugged off the Autobot twins and was busy demolishing the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] when Simmons called upon the [[United States Navy]] to attack Devastator. The [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S. ''Kidd'']] fired her experimental [[Railgun|railgun]], smashing one of his arms to pieces and destroying Devastator. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

:Mixmaster has a slot on the underside of the cab and two pegs near the back of the rear wheel sections with no corresponding holes that serve no discernible purpose in any mode.

:Rather annoyingly, all Mixmasters are misassembled along the arm that holds the front of the cab during transformation. The instructions have the blue hinged tab as facing the opposite direction from the way the toy is actually assembled, which hinders formation of both robot and cannon modes. Normally this would be relatively easy to fix by driving the pin that holds it out and flipping it, but the pin in question is different from normal- it is entirely ridged, like a screw with no head, which makes driving it out enormously hard. In addition, judging by the stock photos, the toy might ''also'' be misassembled on the instructions, meaning that the part to be flipped isn't the blue hinge, but the gray part to which it and the cab are connected. Changing either makes proper transformation possible. On top of all ''that'', the final transformation picture of the cannon mode shows the truck cab's front bumper facing upwards, whereas all the steps leading up to that point have the entire cab pointing down. The bumper being in the position the final version shows can either be done using the hinge configuration out of the box or by reversing the gray section noted above. ''Geez'', Hasbro.
