Eire and Detour's reasoning is sound. The stub template encourages people to contribute to the article which lacks information. By providing a, let's face it, rather short and cursory passage that basically says "The good guys arrive somewhere. Stuff happens and they fight the bad guys. They win, and leave", people are less likely to take the time to complete the article, because people are less inclined to completely rewrite somebody else's work, no matter how little information it conveys. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 05:51, 24 October 2009 (EDT)

No long description exists that I can find, nor even a translation into english. If you have some english translation I will provide a longer description. [[Special:Contributions/68.61.240.172|68.61.240.172]] 15:10, 24 October 2009 (EDT)

'''The Decepticons plot to steal energy from the sun.'''

==Vital Statistics==
'''Audio duration''': 0:26:15

The audio cassette was also available - without the Colorforms book - as a "Listen 'n Fun" adventure gift-set with either red or yellow [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]].

==Synopsis==
Cliffjumper reports to Optimus Prime on a new Decepticon raid on a power plant and the Decepticon plans to attack of the Autobots in 2 days. Optimus then tells Cliffjumper about how he had Bumblebee and Huffer plant false information with the Decepticons that the Autobots had come into a new source of evergy. The Autobot then scramble to come up with a new source of energy to before the attack. Optimus decides to find Doctor Heath Blaisedale to help them.

In the meantime Doctor Blaisedale is being awarded by the U.S. President for her breakthrough in solar energy. Megatron is informed by Soundwave about the Doctor's discovery and cancels the upcoming attack on the Autobots, instead scheduling the attack on the Doctor's solar reactor.

Starscream leads the Seekers on a scouting mission. Optimus sends Cliffjumper to bring back the Doctor, but they are interrupted by Ravage, who also wants the Doctor. Cliffjumper fights off Ravage and takes the doctor, by force, to Optimus Prime.

==Quotes==
"If you just get in, then I won't have to kidnap you."
:–'''Cliffjumper''' makes a sound argument.

"Well you are quite a gentleman for so large a robot."
:–'''Heath Blaisedale''' is grudgingly impressed by Optimus Prime.

==Notes==
* In a rare case of acknowledging the [[Mini Vehicle]] gimmick in fiction, Cliffjumper calls himself a Minicar.
* Unlike most audio books with Megatron and Soundwave, Megatron isn't abusive and actually compliments Soundwave for his abilities.
* Ravage speaks.

Talk:President of the United States

2009-11-23T15:12:57Z

68.61.240.172: /* President Colton? */

I suggest rather that we talk about all the various Presidents of the United States seen in Transformers in just one comprehensive article. It's just a title and not a single man. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 17:37, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:Or woman! ('Cause, Cybertron.) --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 17:40, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
::I am so sad she wasn't Alexis. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 17:41, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

:::I woudl generally agree- but this guy is a major player in the Keepers trilogy. he has evil pots, and orders secret assasinations, and is generally a no-good shit. Just food for thought.
:::Move it if you like, I'll adapt. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 18:22, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I think real-world Earth things that show up in multiple continuities should get a single comprehensive page. For example, if Madonna was mentioned in the Armada comic, I don't think we should have a Madonna (G1) page and a Madonna (UT) page. Likewise, we have one Atlantis -- agh, Madonna just showed up on CNN, odd timing -- page and single pages for New York, Tokyo, etc. I think [[President of the United States]] falls under that precedent. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 18:31, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I've been noticing a LOT of skipped heading levels recently, usually 1-3, whichs eems frankly bizare to me. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 04:06, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

== Yes, She Is a Girl ==
I have no problem with letting the word "girl" stand if it's an in-joke, but why do people have a problem with "And good for her."? [[User:JW|JW]] 20:06, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
: I dunno. I know what you're going for, but despite that, it sounds kinda condescending. I keep wanting to add "And she's so articulate!" --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 20:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
:: ''I know what you're going for, but despite that, it sounds kinda condescending.'' Eh, fair point. I'll mull it over. [[User:JW|JW]] 20:31, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

== Slick Willie ==

Where's the Slick reference from?

Also, the S7 archives (flashing by in the movie) included mentions of several former Presidents by last name, including Clinton, but never (I think) identified as Presidents. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 11:42, 18 June 2009 (EDT)
:Simmons says something like "every U.S. president since [whoever was president when they built the thing; Hoover?] has seen this facility. Ike, JFK, LBJ, Tricky Dick, ''blahblahblah'', Ronnie (or Teflon Ronnie?), ''blahblah'', Slick Willie, and Dubya, have all seen what you're about to see." Unfortunately, we'll probably never know the exact wording, unless someone happens to have bootlegged an IMAX showing--and after two years no signs of that have surfaced. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] 11:52, 18 June 2009 (EDT)

== Reorganize? ==

The current organization of this page is... a bit odd. (and inaccurate, since Plague of the Insecticons isn't, properly speaking, part of the core Marvel comics continuity.)

It's been observed that one of the few out-fiction we "allow" ourselves to know is the President's 'number.' (EG: [[Abraham_Lincoln|the 16th president of the United States]].) How would people feel about reorganizing this page to be by number? So we'd have a section for the 39th president, the 40th president, etc. I think there will be ''less'' messiness using this method than we currently face.

This would have the advantage of strongly delineating between fictional and nonfictional Presidents of the United States. Fictional ones don't get referred to by numbers. '''Example:''' According to The Keepers Trilogy, the Dreamwave POTUS was facing re-election in 2002, so it's hard to say what "President Number" he is. (I think that's possible under the U.S. Constitution too... some circumstance with a death in-office can push a presidential election on the next 2-year cycle.)

We've held off creating a visual/template language to clearly mark in-fiction/out-fiction/non-fictional content... but this strikes me as one of the pages it'd be useful to make the distinction on. We have [[Theodore Allen|fictional vice-presidents]] succeeding [[President_of_the_United_States#Transformers_.282007.29|non-fictional ones]]!

For a page like [[Simon Furman]] it's clear because we have a "Fiction" section. In this cause it's fiction-about-nonfictional-people mixed with fiction-about-fictional-people. And as much as we strive for outfiction-agnosticism... I feel like a distinction really ''ought'' to be made. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 16:18, 24 September 2009 (EDT)
:Sounds pretty good, but where would the fictional ones go? Tacked on the end?
:No there isn't any circumstance where a presidential election would have happened in '02. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 16:37, 24 September 2009 (EDT)
::Yeah - as I understand it, the only important thing in constitutional terms about the two-year mark is that, if the president dies in office ''before'' it, the VP/replacement can only be elected once (i.e., his time as a replacement counts as their first term), but if there's ''less'' than two years to go, then they can have two full terms on top of it. - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 16:51, 24 September 2009 (EDT)

==Obama==
No snarky comment on Obama? Fixed. [[Special:Contributions/68.61.240.172|68.61.240.172]] 10:07, 23 November 2009 (EST)

'''The President of the [[United States of America|United States]]''' is a character in several Transformers stories.

==Generation 1==
===Marvel Comics===
{{noteukonly}}
[[Image:Georgebushsr.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Shifty General Guy totally steals the scene from George Bush-as-played-by-Dana Carvey.]]
''[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] met with the President on the lawn of the White House to ask for peace, sort out an understanding, and perhaps form an alliance. Their handshake was cut short by an attack from the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]], who attempted to sabotage the union by claiming to be Autobots. The Autobots forced the Insecticons into retreat but left immediately themselves, deciding that the President wouldn't believe they were framed. To the contrary, the President did give the Autobots the benefit of the doubt — until, that is, they left without an explanation.'' {{storylink|Plague of the Insecticons!}}

{{note|The President of the United States refers to Optimus Prime as a "lorry," which is what they call trucks in the United Kingdom, but not in America. None of the kids who read Marvel UK comics probably noticed, in writer [[Simon Furman]]'s defense. This story, from the 1985 UK Annual, is generally held to not be canon to the main comics, including as it does several contradictions to later (and former) events in the stories (most notably the Insecticons' origins).)}}

''The same President was unaware of the [[Intelligence and Information Institute]]'s [[Centurion (Marvel)|Centurion]] project. After the robot damaged part of [[Portland]], the Institute became worried that the President would have them all arrested if he found out they were involved.'' {{storylink|In the National Interest}}

Years later, the next President was alarmed when a [[Decepticon]] civil war erupted near [[New York City]] and threatened to hurt innocents. He asked [[G.B. Blackrock]] to call his [[Neo-Knights]] into action. {{storylink|...All This and Civil War 2}}

===Colorforms Books===
The 40th President of the United States awarded [[Heath Blaisedale|Dr. Heath Blaisedale]] the ''The President's Award for Outstanding Scientific Breakthrough'' for her work on the [[solar reactor]].{{storylink|Sun Raid}}

===Dreamwave Comics===
[[Image:Potus dw.jpg|right|180px|thumb|"New-cular?"]]
The President flew to the Pentagon, where he was greeted by "Defense Minister" [[Dawson]]. Dawson briefed him on the [[Decepticon]] assault on [[San Francisco]], and suggested an air strike. But before a military solution could be devised, Dawson was informed that a nuclear launch had been authorized (by General [[Robert Hallo]], unbeknownst to either man). The President tried to abort the launch, to no avail. During this crisis, he displayed a level of concern that could only be adequately portrayed by [[Pat Lee|his]] unique command of [[Dull surprise|facial expressions]]. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 6}}

====Keepers Trilogy====
====Associated Characters====
=====The Vice-President=====
The Vice-President is the President's attack dog. He goes to pick up [[Allister Greaves]] in person after his spy in the Executive office is revealed.

Greaves isn't much impressed by the Vice-President, he has too many skeletons in his closet. Greaves threatens to release documentation of the Vice-President's tryst with a minor girl in Topeka to the media. The Vice-President dis-involves himself from further direct contact with Greaves. {{storylink|Keepers Trilogy}}

=====John=====
John is the Secretary of State. He is one of the President's confidantes in his plan to kidnap General Michelle Grajkowski and frame her for the attack on the Autobots.

=====Bill=====
Bill is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He, along with John, are the President's confidantes in his plan to frame General Michelle Grajkowski.

=====Elisa=====
Elisa is the President of the United State's secretary. She speaks several languages, and always answers the phone with a different accent. A member of the [[Followers]], she secretly gives [[Edmund Greaves]] information about goings-on in the Executive Office.

When Greaves requested information about the [[Keeper (species)|Keepers]], Elisa promised to send him a synopsis of the upcoming cabinet meeting about them, and then requested Greaves try to remove the Followers agents from Las Vegas, which she felt had become too dangerous. He agreed to try.

The President became aware of Elisa's 'second job,' and when she called Greaves to warn him that the attack on Las Vegas had been pushed up, she was killed. A CIA agent informed Greaves the President very much wanted to speak with him, and a car was being sent.

Elisa's death shook Greaves badly, and was one of his prime motivations to go public with the Followers.

''Elisa is probably the source of at least some of the blackmail material Greaves has on the President and the Vice President.''

=====Susan=====
Susan replaced Elisa as the President of the United State's secretary. An unattractive woman with a tough-as-nails attitude, she takes her job as the President's gatekeeper very seriously, once refusing to let the [[Dawson|Secretary of State]] through because he hadn't phoned ahead for an appointment.

''Susan may be based on the character Deborah Fiderer from the TV show '''The West Wing.'''''

===IDW comics===
After the Decepticons had established an [[Infiltration protocol|infiltration team]] on Earth, Republican Senator [[Alexander Holt]] unwittingly talked to a [[Facsimile Construct|facsimile construct]] of a politically powerful military general about concerns that stability in the Middle East would cause problems for his Big Oil backers. The false general assured Holt that the military and the government were in the region for the long haul. This would presumably include the current President. Nine months later, shortly after Megatron took command of the infiltration team, the Decepticon leader sent [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] to attack the El-Jira nuclear power plant in the Middle East to inflame global tensions. By this time, Holt had become the favourite for the Republican presidential candidate and was recommending more direct intervention in the region. {{storylink|Escalation issue 2}}

Over a year later, during the full-scale Decepticon attack on the United States, [[Air Force One]] crashed into the [[Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln Memorial]], courtesy of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 3}}

==Generation 2==

During the Decepticon onslaught on America, the current President was not seen. Rumours abounded that he was hiding in a bunker and refusing to come out. {{storylink|The Gathering Darkness}}

{{note|The President was never named.}}
[[Image:Presidentcybertron.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Beat you to it, Alexis.]]
[[Ask Vector Prime|Yes, she is a girl.]]

The President knew about the Transformers during [[Colonel Franklin]]'s investigation of them. Shortly before the landslide at Boulder, Colorado, [[Six-Speed]] was pulled over by the police, he used a hologram of the President to disguise his lack of a driver. Naturally, seeing the leader of the free world at the wheel of a tiny green race car totally freaked the cops out, and the [[Mini-Con]] was able to drive off in the confusion. {{storylink|Collapse}}

{{stub}}

Much later, the President officially named Franklin as Earth's ambassador to Cybertron. {{storylink|Beginning}}
{{-}}
==''Transformers'' (2007)==
[[Image:Gwb potus.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Being leader of the free world means you can wear red socks without remorse.]]
The President seems almost insignificant during the Decepticon invasion, with Secretary of Defense [[John Keller]] pretty much running the show. Mostly, he wears red socks, has a penchant for Ding Dongs and speaks with a cheesy southwestern accent and stereotypical dialect ("Can you wrangle me up some Ding Dongs, darlin'?"). He also seems unconcerned with [[Frenzy (Movie)|tiny, crazy robots]] hacking into the computers of [[Air Force One|his ride]]—that is, until he's thrown in a bunker somewhere after the resulting emergency landing. He ordered [[Sector 7]] to be terminated and the remains of the dead Decepticons disposed of into the [[Laurentian Abyss]]. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}
{{note|In the IMAX cut of the film, [[Agent Simmons]] lists the nicknames of all the U.S. presidents to have seen the secret [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]] facility, and the last one he mentions is [[wikipedia:George W. Bush|"Dubya"]]--presumably the president who was shown in the film as a Texan fond of the color red. His successor in the film continuity is [[Barack Obama]] (see below).}}

[[Image:Allen4.jpg|left|thumb|200px|"Okay Mr. President, so that's one pizza with everything except anchovies, one Coke..."]]

Following Decepticon occupation, the President was dead and John Keller was nowhere to be found. The hawkish Vice President, '''[[Theodore Allen|Theodore F. Allen]]''', became the new President following the liberation of America. Allen distrusts both Autobot and Decepticon, viewing them both as hostile alien invaders using Earth as a battleground for their war, so it would probably piss him off considerably to know [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] [[Insecticon (Movie)|Insecticons]] have planted a mind-controlling cerebro-strip in his head. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}

While he was allowed to act autonomously during Earth's technorganic crisis {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Return To Cybertron, Part: 1}}, Starscream eventually trigged him. One of his last acts was to get the US government to order the Autobots off American soil - and then nuke their ship as they left. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}}

==''Shattered Glass''==
The President of the United States in the ''Shattered Glass'' series is [[President Colton]]. Colton is strong on national defense and doesn't care much about how the rest of the world thinks. He didn't appreciate the Autobots taking control of his defense sattelite, or the Decepticons destroying it.

==Trivia==
*The President never appeared in the [[Generation 1 (cartoon)|original animated series]], but he did have a cameo in [[wikipedia:Inhumanoids|Inhumanoids]], one of ''Transformers'' "sister series" produced by Sunbow and arguably set in the same continuity. Appearing only as a voice from offscreen speaking to his aides in ''The Surma Plan'' in 1986, the President of the United States was a soft-spoken man concerned about the future but full of faith in the better nature of humanity. He was portrayed by voice actor [[Neil Ross]], also a [[wikipedia:List_of_United_States_Presidential_names#40_.E2.80.94_Ronald_Wilson_Reagan|great communicator]].

*[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s [[Holomatter|Holomatter avatar]] is modeled after [[wikipedia:Ulysses_S._Grant|Ulysses S. Grant]], the 18th President of United States.<ref>[http://www.protodepot.com/archive/2007_11_01_archive.html Idea: Holomatter Projection]</ref>

*While unnamed, Marvel's presidents are clearly meant to be Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. Dreamwave's Prez doesn't ''appear'' to be meant as George W. Bush, but since this is [[Pat Lee]] drawing it could simply be a ''bad'' drawing of Dubya.

*[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s [[Holomatter|Holomatter avatar]] is modeled after [[wikipedia:Ulysses_S._Grant|Ulysses S. Grant]], the 18th President of United States.<ref>[http://www.protodepot.com/archive/2007_11_01_archive.html Idea: Holomatter Projection]</ref>

*While unnamed, Marvel's presidents are clearly meant to be Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. Dreamwave's Prez doesn't ''appear'' to be meant as George W. Bush, but since this is [[Pat Lee]] drawing it could simply be a ''bad'' drawing of Dubya.

'''The President of the [[United States of America|United States]]''' is a character in several Transformers stories.

==Generation 1==
===Marvel Comics===
{{noteukonly}}
[[Image:Georgebushsr.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Shifty General Guy totally steals the scene from George Bush-as-played-by-Dana Carvey.]]
''[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] met with the President on the lawn of the White House to ask for peace, sort out an understanding, and perhaps form an alliance. Their handshake was cut short by an attack from the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]], who attempted to sabotage the union by claiming to be Autobots. The Autobots forced the Insecticons into retreat but left immediately themselves, deciding that the President wouldn't believe they were framed. To the contrary, the President did give the Autobots the benefit of the doubt — until, that is, they left without an explanation.'' {{storylink|Plague of the Insecticons!}}

{{note|The President of the United States refers to Optimus Prime as a "lorry," which is what they call trucks in the United Kingdom, but not in America. None of the kids who read Marvel UK comics probably noticed, in writer [[Simon Furman]]'s defense. This story, from the 1985 UK Annual, is generally held to not be canon to the main comics, including as it does several contradictions to later (and former) events in the stories (most notably the Insecticons' origins).)}}

''The same President was unaware of the [[Intelligence and Information Institute]]'s [[Centurion (Marvel)|Centurion]] project. After the robot damaged part of [[Portland]], the Institute became worried that the President would have them all arrested if he found out they were involved.'' {{storylink|In the National Interest}}

Years later, the next President was alarmed when a [[Decepticon]] civil war erupted near [[New York City]] and threatened to hurt innocents. He asked [[G.B. Blackrock]] to call his [[Neo-Knights]] into action. {{storylink|...All This and Civil War 2}}

===Colorforms Books===
The 40th President of the United States awarded [[Heath Blaisedale|Dr. Heath Blaisedale]] the ''The President's Award for Outstanding Scientific Breakthrough'' for her work on the [[solar reactor]].{{storylink|Sun Raid}}

[[Image:Potus dw.jpg|right|180px|thumb|"New-cular?"]]
The President flew to the Pentagon, where he was greeted by "Defense Minister" [[Dawson]]. Dawson briefed him on the [[Decepticon]] assault on [[San Francisco]], and suggested an air strike. But before a military solution could be devised, Dawson was informed that a nuclear launch had been authorized (by General [[Robert Hallo]], unbeknownst to either man). The President tried to abort the launch, to no avail. During this crisis, he displayed a level of concern that could only be adequately portrayed by [[Pat Lee|his]] unique command of [[Dull surprise|facial expressions]]. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 6}}

====Keepers Trilogy====
====Associated Characters====
=====The Vice-President=====
The Vice-President is the President's attack dog. He goes to pick up [[Allister Greaves]] in person after his spy in the Executive office is revealed.

Greaves isn't much impressed by the Vice-President, he has too many skeletons in his closet. Greaves threatens to release documentation of the Vice-President's tryst with a minor girl in Topeka to the media. The Vice-President dis-involves himself from further direct contact with Greaves. {{storylink|Keepers Trilogy}}

=====John=====
John is the Secretary of State. He is one of the President's confidantes in his plan to kidnap General Michelle Grajkowski and frame her for the attack on the Autobots.

=====Bill=====
Bill is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He, along with John, are the President's confidantes in his plan to frame General Michelle Grajkowski.

=====Elisa=====
Elisa is the President of the United State's secretary. She speaks several languages, and always answers the phone with a different accent. A member of the [[Followers]], she secretly gives [[Edmund Greaves]] information about goings-on in the Executive Office.

When Greaves requested information about the [[Keeper (species)|Keepers]], Elisa promised to send him a synopsis of the upcoming cabinet meeting about them, and then requested Greaves try to remove the Followers agents from Las Vegas, which she felt had become too dangerous. He agreed to try.

The President became aware of Elisa's 'second job,' and when she called Greaves to warn him that the attack on Las Vegas had been pushed up, she was killed. A CIA agent informed Greaves the President very much wanted to speak with him, and a car was being sent.

Elisa's death shook Greaves badly, and was one of his prime motivations to go public with the Followers.

''Elisa is probably the source of at least some of the blackmail material Greaves has on the President and the Vice President.''

=====Susan=====
Susan replaced Elisa as the President of the United State's secretary. An unattractive woman with a tough-as-nails attitude, she takes her job as the President's gatekeeper very seriously, once refusing to let the [[Dawson|Secretary of State]] through because he hadn't phoned ahead for an appointment.

''Susan may be based on the character Deborah Fiderer from the TV show '''The West Wing.'''''

===IDW comics===
After the Decepticons had established an [[Infiltration protocol|infiltration team]] on Earth, Republican Senator [[Alexander Holt]] unwittingly talked to a [[Facsimile Construct|facsimile construct]] of a politically powerful military general about concerns that stability in the Middle East would cause problems for his Big Oil backers. The false general assured Holt that the military and the government were in the region for the long haul. This would presumably include the current President. Nine months later, shortly after Megatron took command of the infiltration team, the Decepticon leader sent [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] to attack the El-Jira nuclear power plant in the Middle East to inflame global tensions. By this time, Holt had become the favourite for the Republican presidential candidate and was recommending more direct intervention in the region. {{storylink|Escalation issue 2}}

Over a year later, during the full-scale Decepticon attack on the United States, [[Air Force One]] crashed into the [[Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln Memorial]], courtesy of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 3}}

==Generation 2==

During the Decepticon onslaught on America, the current President was not seen. Rumours abounded that he was hiding in a bunker and refusing to come out. {{storylink|The Gathering Darkness}}

==Unicron Trilogy==
===Cybertron cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' ? (US), [[Mariko Takigawa]] (Japan)

{{note|The President was never named.}}
[[Image:Presidentcybertron.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Beat you to it, Alexis.]]
[[Ask Vector Prime|Yes, she is a girl.]]

The President knew about the Transformers during [[Colonel Franklin]]'s investigation of them. Shortly before the landslide at Boulder, Colorado, [[Six-Speed]] was pulled over by the police, he used a hologram of the President to disguise his lack of a driver. Naturally, seeing the leader of the free world at the wheel of a tiny green race car totally freaked the cops out, and the [[Mini-Con]] was able to drive off in the confusion. {{storylink|Collapse}}

{{stub}}

Much later, the President officially named Franklin as Earth's ambassador to Cybertron. {{storylink|Beginning}}
{{-}}
==''Transformers'' (2007)==
[[Image:Gwb potus.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Being leader of the free world means you can wear red socks without remorse.]]
The President seems almost insignificant during the Decepticon invasion, with Secretary of Defense [[John Keller]] pretty much running the show. Mostly, he wears red socks, has a penchant for Ding Dongs and speaks with a cheesy southwestern accent and stereotypical dialect ("Can you wrangle me up some Ding Dongs, darlin'?"). He also seems unconcerned with [[Frenzy (Movie)|tiny, crazy robots]] hacking into the computers of [[Air Force One|his ride]]—that is, until he's thrown in a bunker somewhere after the resulting emergency landing. He ordered [[Sector 7]] to be terminated and the remains of the dead Decepticons disposed of into the [[Laurentian Abyss]]. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}
{{note|In the IMAX cut of the film, [[Agent Simmons]] lists the nicknames of all the U.S. presidents to have seen the secret [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]] facility, and the last one he mentions is [[wikipedia:George W. Bush|"Dubya"]]--presumably the president who was shown in the film as a Texan fond of the color red. His successor in the film continuity is [[Barack Obama]] (see below).}}
{{-}}
===Titan Magazines===
{{notetitantlg}}
[[Image:Allen4.jpg|left|thumb|200px|"Okay Mr. President, so that's one pizza with everything except anchovies, one Coke..."]]

Following Decepticon occupation, the President was dead and John Keller was nowhere to be found. The hawkish Vice President, '''[[Theodore Allen|Theodore F. Allen]]''', became the new President following the liberation of America. Allen distrusts both Autobot and Decepticon, viewing them both as hostile alien invaders using Earth as a battleground for their war, so it would probably piss him off considerably to know [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] [[Insecticon (Movie)|Insecticons]] have planted a mind-controlling cerebro-strip in his head. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}

While he was allowed to act autonomously during Earth's technorganic crisis {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Return To Cybertron, Part: 1}}, Starscream eventually trigged him. One of his last acts was to get the US government to order the Autobots off American soil - and then nuke their ship as they left. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}}

[[Image:Obama_interview.jpg|thumb|right|200px|"We know that Megatron wants to see humanity wiped off the face of the map... of course, the first step in negotiating is to determine what the other party wants that you might be able to provide."]]
While President '''Barack Obama''' was still running for office he was asked in an interview[http://www.therealeffingdeal.com/blog/obamania-but-will-he-elect-to-take-the-search-seriously/#more-109] if he found out that aliens visited Earth, would he let the public know.

==Trivia==
*The President never appeared in the [[Generation 1 (cartoon)|original animated series]], but he did have a cameo in [[wikipedia:Inhumanoids|Inhumanoids]], one of ''Transformers'' "sister series" produced by Sunbow and arguably set in the same continuity. Appearing only as a voice from offscreen speaking to his aides in ''The Surma Plan'' in 1986, the President of the United States was a soft-spoken man concerned about the future but full of faith in the better nature of humanity. He was portrayed by voice actor [[Neil Ross]], also a [[wikipedia:List_of_United_States_Presidential_names#40_.E2.80.94_Ronald_Wilson_Reagan|great communicator]].

The audio cassette was also available - without the Colorforms book - as a "Listen 'n Fun" adventure gift-set with either red or yellow [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]].

==Synopsis==
Cliffjumper reports to Optimus Prime on a new Decepticon raid on a power plant and the Decepticon plans to attack of the Autobots in 2 days. Optimus then tells Cliffjumper about how he had Bumblebee and Huffer plant false information with the Decepticons that the Autobots had come into a new source of evergy. The Autobot then scramble to come up with a new source of energy to before the attack. Optimus decides to find Doctor Heath Blaisedale to help them.

In the meantime Doctor Blaisedale is being awarded by the U.S. President for her breakthrough in solar energy. Megatron is informed by Soundwave about the Doctor's discovery and cancels the upcoming attack on the Autobots, instead scheduling the attack on the Doctor's solar reactor.

Starscream leads the Seekers on a scouting mission. Optimus sends Cliffjumper to bring back the Doctor, but they are interrupted by Ravage, who also wants the Doctor. Cliffjumper fights off Ravage and takes the doctor, by force, to Optimus Prime.

* Unlike most audio books with Megatron and Soundwave, Megatron isn't abusive and actually compliments Soundwave for his abilities.
* Ravage speaks.
* Megatron refers to the trio of Decepticon planes as "Deceptiplanes."
* The plot of the Decepticons using a machine to steal energon from the sun, but then possibly destroying the planet in the process, is [[Changing Gears|not]] [[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|unique]] to this story.

==Errors==
* Cliffjumper is described as a red truck.

:::It's describing Bill O'Reilly, a real world commentator, as a a liar and a government shill. I wish to see it removed. [[Special:Contributions/68.61.240.172|68.61.240.172]] 19:24, 22 November 2009 (EST)
::::It's describing Bill O'Reilly as a sensationalist journalist. Heck, if that's offensive then so's Stephen Colbert's entire career. I don't have a club membership, but have you considered that potentially Sepelak and Troop have ''intentionally'' made Shattered Glass Rook in homage to O'Reilly?--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 20:00, 22 November 2009 (EST)
:::::Actually it was Jesse Wittenrich who's responsible for SG Rook. But otherwise, yeah, I'm with Rosicrucian here. There's quite a few RL journalists in the same conservative sensationalist bracket as our ABN reporter TF here, of which O'Reilly is one. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 20:11, 22 November 2009 (EST)
::::::The write-up for the character, as-is, doesn't really remind me of Bill O'Reilly per-se. In fact, it's way too, uh, flattering. Exposing corruption and scandal is GOOD! That's not a negative thing! Conversely, I don't really see anything in the opening profile about shouting down his guests, trying to win arguments with simple volume, or cutting mics, so it doesn't really remind me of O'Reilly. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 21:01, 22 November 2009 (EST)
:::::::...I can safely say you completely and utterly missed the intended ironic tone of the paragraph. Hint: "yellow journalism" and "scandal-mongering" are good clues. (Granted, I do tend to have a very dry sense of humor.) --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 21:16, 22 November 2009 (EST)
::::::::That sounds more like Geraldo Rivera than O'Reilly. O'Reilly would just be shouting endlessly about how THE DECEPTICONS ARE BRAINSWASHING OUR CHILDREN AND HATE OUR FREEDOMS AND WANT TO KILL US ALL AND THE GUBBMINT IS GOING TO TAKE YUOR BRAIN IN THE NIIIIIGIHT. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 21:25, 22 November 2009 (EST)
:::::::::I agree with Hooper. If the opening paragraphs are intended to be distinctly O'Reillyish, they do a very poor job. Though Hoop's SUPER-overthetop paranoia version sounds more like Glenn Beck to me. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 21:31, 22 November 2009 (EST)
::::::::::Whenever I saw Rook or SG Rook I always thought of news anchors like Tom Brokaw mixed with a modern Geraldo, who would Hector Ramariz in the Transformers universe. The opening paragraph of this article though seems to be based on J Johan Jameson. [[Special:Contributions/68.61.240.172|68.61.240.172]] 21:35, 22 November 2009 (EST)
:::::::::::Yeah, that got it in one. My intro wasn't intended to be parodying anyone specifically at all. Instead it was simply parodying the tone of any journalist who engages in objectively bad journalism while thinking his methods are actually something to be proud of. (Actually, the entire article in general is going for that tone.) J. Jonah Jameson and Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry" were what I was going for. (Note to self: Adopt more blatant sense of humor?)
:::::::::::Although in regards to Hooper's comment, I do have to point out this strip: http://rid-nightviper.deviantart.com/art/Around-Cybertron-3-125833712 --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 21:42, 22 November 2009 (EST)

::No. Bill O'Reillytron fits the bill perfectly. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 22:06, 22 November 2009 (EST)
:::Frankly, I think the JJJ reference muddles the opening. He's not JJJ. He's a Cable News Pundit. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 22:07, 22 November 2009 (EST)
::::You can remove it if you want... it was mostly an attempt to point out that the opening was meant to be ironic. (Which, ironically, seems to have not worked.) --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 22:14, 22 November 2009 (EST)

::::...interesting change, but kind of also missing the point. Rook's not accusing the Decepticons of doing bad things from a general perspective, but of doing things that are bad from Autobot perspectives (theft, extortion, in-fighting, etc.) In the strip in question, Rook's actually complaining that the Decepticons being ''too nice'' to the protoforms was a bad thing. Likewise, the Dark duo's comedy acts are "painfully uplifting". --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 22:27, 22 November 2009 (EST)

'''The Decepticons fight to save Earth from Rodimus Prime's Autobots.'''
==Synopsis==
After [[Heatwave]] manages to locate [[Soundwave (SG)|Soundwave]]'s stasis pod and get him reactivated, they gather up Soundwave's cassettes who have landed nearby, and go off in search of the ''[[Nemesis (SG)|Nemesis]]''. They eventually find the ship's crash site, and discover there's a team of local scientists snooping around. After a misunderstanding between the scientists and [[Ravage (SG)|Ravage]], the [[Decepticon]]s eventually learn that the [[human]]s—[[Professor Arkeville]] and his interns—are friendly and sympathetic, and invite them onboard to meet up with [[Starscream (SG)|Starscream]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]], who survived the crash.

[[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus]], on the other hand, meets up with his own set of human allies—the [[Witwicky#Shattered Glass continuity family|Witwicky brothers]]—when the three try to steal him. He takes them back to the ''[[Ark (SG)|Ark]]'' and convinces the other [[Autobot]]s to accept the humans' help, though not before dealing with an attempt by [[Goldbug (SG)|Goldbug]] to usurp leadership. Rodimus ultimately wins, and, after listening to advice from the Witwickys and studying [[Earth]]'s transmissions, hatches a plan: Hijack one of the United States' [[Burpleson Air Force Base|military bases]], take control of the country's [[Global Orbital Defense Satellite|defense satellite]], and use it to hold the planet hostage until the humans accept the Autobots as their new Mafia-like leaders.

The Decepticons learn of the Autobots' success in gaining control of the base, and launch an assault to free it, having managed to locate [[Crasher (SG)|Crasher]]'s pod in the meantime. During the fight that ensues, [[Heatwave]] is able to gain access to the satellite's controller and use it to disable the Autobots' control and evacuate the base. He then turns the satellite on the base itself, destroying it, and finally crushes the controller as well. The satellite then self-destructs.

When [[President Colton]] hears of the situation, he decides that, while the Decepticons are worth keeping an eye on, he's especially interested in the Autobots...

: A [[redeco]] of the ''[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Hardtop (Cybertron)|Hardtop]] toy, [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]] transforms into a dune buggy of indeterminate model. Plugging a [[Cyber Planet Key]] into the butt of his rifle flips out an extended barrel for a "sniper" mode.

: Hardtop (and the rest of the Scout wave) are [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] stores, where they were all part of a [[Robo-Vision]] promotion. Hardtop comes with a Robo-Vision Decoder which allows you to see the Robo-Vision Code printed on his cardback. Starting [[June 2]], [[2007]], Target's website allowed users to input those codes to access exclusive content.

'''The Decepticons fight to save Earth from Rodimus Prime's Autobots.'''
==Synopsis==
After [[Heatwave]] manages to locate [[Soundwave (SG)|Soundwave]]'s stasis pod and get him reactivated, they gather up Soundwave's cassettes who have landed nearby, and go off in search of the ''[[Nemesis (SG)|Nemesis]]''. They eventually find the ship's crash site, and discover there's a team of local scientists snooping around. After a misunderstanding between the scientists and [[Ravage (SG)|Ravage]], the [[Decepticon]]s eventually learn that the [[human]]s—[[Professor Arkeville]] and his interns—are friendly and sympathetic, and invite them onboard to meet up with [[Starscream (SG)|Starscream]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]], who survived the crash.

[[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus]], on the other hand, meets up with his own set of human allies—the [[Witwicky#Shattered Glass continuity family|Witwicky brothers]]—when the three try to steal him. He takes them back to the ''[[Ark (SG)|Ark]]'' and convinces the other [[Autobot]]s to accept the humans' help, though not before dealing with an attempt by [[Goldbug (SG)|Goldbug]] to usurp leadership. Rodimus ultimately wins, and, after listening to advice from the Witwickys and studying [[Earth]]'s transmissions, hatches a plan: Hijack one of the United States' [[Burpleson Air Force Base|military bases]], take control of the country's [[Global Orbital Defense Satellite|defense satellite]], and use it to hold the planet hostage until the humans accept the Autobots as their new Mafia-like leaders.

The Decepticons learn of the Autobots' success in gaining control of the base, and launch an assault to free it, having managed to locate [[Crasher (SG)|Crasher]]'s pod in the meantime. During the fight that ensues, [[Heatwave]] is able to gain access to the satellite's controller and use it to disable the Autobots' control and evacuate the base. He then turns the satellite on the base itself, destroying it, and finally crushes the controller as well. The satellite then self-destructs.

When [[President Colton]] hears of the situation, he decides that, while the Decepticons are worth keeping an eye on, he's especially interested in the Autobots...

[[Image:SGRook AroundCybertron.jpg|thumb|300px|]]
Every [[Autobot]]'s seen '''Rook'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s face as one of ABN's head reporters (since watching ABN is, of course, compulsory under penalty of death). He heads up the popular show ''[[Around Cybertron]]'' with the help of his co-reporter [[Punch (SG)|Punch]] and his camerabot [[Sprocket (SG)|Sprocket]].

If there's dirty laundry to be aired, shameful secrets to be uncovered, scandal-mongering to be perpetrated, or [[Decepticon]] deaths to showcase, ''Around Cybertron'' is right there to bring you the very best in [[wikipedia:yellow journalism|yellow journalism]].

Just remember, [[Spider-Man|it's only slander if it's spoken. If it's in print, it's libel.]]

==Fiction==
===Shattered Glass===
A [[Reunification: Part 1|mysterious energy surge]] was discovered near the former Durax Hospital for Protoforms. Rook was quick to report that it was likely part of a twisted Decepticon plot to rebuild the hospital and deprive protoforms of the chance for whatever didn't kill them to make them stronger. Of course, the Autobot Civil Security Corps hadn't actually investigated yet, but there was still no doubt whatsoever that the Decepticons were responsible. Film at 2300. {{storylink|Around Cybertron#Around Cybertron #3|Around Cybertron #3}}

In an exclusive bit of breaking news, Rook turned the broadcast over to his new reporter Punch. Apparently the traitorous Autobots [[Skyfall (SG)|Skyfall]] and [[Drill Powerdasher (SG)|Drill Powerdasher]] had been seen consorting with an [[Counterpunch (SG)|unknown Decepticon]] near [[Iacon]]. Fortunately, Punch was able to get the scoop from [[Mini Spy (SG)|an eyewitness]] and expose the sordid affair. {{storylink|Around Cybertron#Around Cybertron #4|Around Cybertron #4}}

Rook reported on the latest in entertainment news: the "infamous" comedic duo [[Dreadwind (SG)|Dreadwind]] and [[Darkwind (SG)|Darkwind]] had been captured by Autobot forces and sentenced to death on account of their "painfully uplifting" comedy tours. Rook was there to report on every moment of their last words and subsequent execution in the [[smelting pool]]. Now '''that''' was a comedy act every upstanding Autobot could appreciate. {{storylink|Around Cybertron#Around Cybertron #5|Around Cybertron #5}}

Rook ended up delivering quite probably the most amazing news of his career—[[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]] [[Reunification: Part 4|was dead]]! As he awaited the footage of [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]]'s reaction, he didn't envy the bot who would tell Prime the news that his vendetta would be denied. Until he found out that the bot in question was '''himself''', as Prime had been watching the ''Around Cybertron'' broadcast. Oops. {{storylink|Around Cybertron#Around Cybertron #6|Around Cybertron #6}}

Rook was temporarily replaced by [[Andromeda (SG)|Andromeda]] while he was on "enforced vacation". But when she ran off to cover a coup attempt against Optimus Prime, Rook was all too happy to reclaim his desk. He started lovingly patting his desk and murmuring sweet nothings to it until he was startled by [[Mirage (SG)|Mirage]]'s presence in the interview chair. {{storylink|Around Cybertron#Around Cybertron #7|Around Cybertron #7}}

:''Headstrong is a [[Decepticon]] [[Predacon (G1)|Predacon]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Headstrong boxart.gif|right|250px|thumb|Marching to the beat of his own drummer. Whom he stomped on.]]
You can ''tell'' '''Headstrong''' that a three-foot-thick steel tank is full of dangerously radioactive waste, but it won't do a lick of good if he thinks you've hidden the [[Energon (fuel)|energon]] goodies in it. He'll attack it with his unbreakable ramming head and acid-dripping horn until he's conclusively proven wrong, then retreat with his well-earned wounds to suck his thumb, still convinced deep in his tiny brain that somebody had tricked him.

Despite such mishaps, Headstrong still plugs away. He believes that tenacity can compensate those minor qualities in which he's lacking, such as strength, intelligence, or courage. To his credit, [[Starscream (G1)|not a few of his allies]] seem to subscribe to this philosophy, and Headstrong isn't dead yet.

Best and brightest he may not be, but he's always ready to grab his [[diffraction sword]] and start waving it around. It affects his opponent's optics, so that where they see Headstrong, that's where he ain't. It's unfortunate that his own eyesight isn't much better. A distant foe must beware Headstrong's glowing [[Plasma sphere shooter|plasma spheres]], which explode on contact. Woe to the one who touches Headstrong's balls!

Headstrong and his fellow Predacons can combine to form [[Predaking]], but he'll only do it when ''he'' wants to do it.

====Generation 1====
{{noteukonly}}
''As [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s paranoia reached its peak, [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] suggested that they enlist the help of the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] to flush out [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], allowing Megatron to finally defeat him. However, [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] called them from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], and gave the Predacon leader Razorclaw secret orders to turn on Megatron at a crucial moment. The Predacons successfully hunted down Optimus, and when Megatron arrived, as Shockwave ordered, they turned on him. After learning of Shockwave and the Predacons' betrayal, Megatron summoned a [[space bridge]] to Cybertron to escape, but Prime flung them both through the bridge before it had fully materialized.'' {{storylink|Prey!}} {{storylink|The Harder They Die!}}

''Fortunately for Headstrong and the other Predacons, Megatron lost his memory of this incident when [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] attempted to take over his body.'' {{storylink|Resurrection!}}

Headstrong, along with the other Predacons, hunted Megatron on orders from Shockwave. {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}}

{{charstubfiction}}

=====Earthforce=====
{{earthforcefiction}}
''Headstrong was one of Shockwave's minions when the Decepticon army split into two factions led by ol' one-eye and Megatron. When their fight for power and control grew too critical, they called an [[Enclave]] to discuss reuniting against the Autobots. Headstrong hardly cared about the politics -- he was just so happy to see the hor d'oeuvres table! The happy little rhino spent most of the night stuffing his face and getting blitzed on the punch. The Autobots came by to ruin his party, however, as they couldn't allow a unified Decepticon army to stand against them. So... [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] cold-conked the already tipsy Headstrong and dragged him away into the shadows. Then, the Autobots staged "sniper fire" against Megatron and, when he and his Decepticons fired back, they tossed the unconscious Headstrong and his weapon down as if he'd been hit. Thinking Shockwave had sent the Predacon as an assassin, Megatron called a quick and violent end to the truce, and the two factions returned to open warfare with each other. [[Primus]] only knows how Headstrong explained himself when he came to. {{storylink|The Bad Guy's Ball!}}''

''Some time later, Headstrong was briefly seen charging the Autobot Earthbase with his fellow Decepticons during a siege. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}}''

====Generation 2====
Headstrong appeared during the Autobot/Decepticon alliance, battling the [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]]. He, [[Weirdwolf]], and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] had lots of fun counting kills and munching metal. {{storylink|Total War!}}

===Cartoon continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Ron Feinberg]] (English), [[Takurō Kitagawa]] (Japanese)

[[Image:FFOD5 Predacons.JPG|right|200px|thumb|Headstrong can be seen on the left]]
Headstrong was dispatched to [[Io]] with the other Predacons to steal [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]'s [[transformation cog]]. During the battle, the Predacons combined into Predaking, only to be defeated by [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]]. [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] retreated, despite Headstrong's objections. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

Headstrong and the Predacons were next seen guarding [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]'s [[death crystal]] cannon on the planet [[Dread]]. When the Autobots arrived, Headstrong and Tantrum almost managed to shut [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] up permanently by knocking him into quickmud, but Sky Lynx pulled him to safety. {{storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}}

On a mission to drain the planet [[Paradron]] of its rich energy resources, the Decepticons managed to conquer its peaceful population with ease. One Paradronian named [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] got away and brought back an Autobot strike force, however. Once they were spotted, Galvatron ordered Headstrong and [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] to man the [[molecular cannon]] and blow them away. Both warriors were probably real eager to fire, but once Brawl said it was time to take the shot, Headstrong just had to be difficult and stall a few moments more until he was "good and ready". Decepticons and their personality problems... {{storylink|Fight or Flee}}

[[Image:Headstrong fist.jpg|left|200px|thumb|OMG!! Headstrong is adorable!]]
When the Predacons later attempted to ambush [[Rodimus Prime (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] and his soldiers on Cybertron, their battle was interrupted by a [[Quintesson]] dream machine that surrounded the Transformers with a fog-filled landscape and subjected them to nightmarish torments plucked from the subconscious of [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]]. After [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] and Razorclaw were carried off by a dragon, the Predacons reluctantly stopped fighting the Autobots long enough to deal with their lost leader. Headstrong was particularly edgy around the Autobots, and warned Rodimus Prime to stay out of his way. Headstrong thought the worst was over when "Galvatron" showed up in a House of Mirrors, not recognizing the unusual size and behavior of his commander. Even after "Galvatron" spontaneously grew several stories taller and began to crush Rodimus and Headstrong in his hands, Headstrong was still pulling the "It's me, Galvatron! Don't you recognize me?!" routine. Pure instinct; no brains. Headstrong's leg was seriously injured by the crushing vise of the false Galvatron's grip, and his damage prevented the Predacons from forming Predaking and continuing the fight with the Autobots after the Quintesson machine was destroyed. {{storylink|Nightmare Planet}}

Later, Headstrong and the Predacons were battling the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] on a lifeless planetoid. Headstrong was tripped up by [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] in battle, flipping over onto his back. Give how he kept bouncing after the impact, you'd think he was made of jello. Headstrong and the other [[Primitive|Primitives]] were then summoned to fight [[Tornedron]]. During the trip to meet [[Oracle (G1)|Primacron's Assistant]], Headstrong, being a wise and intelligent construct, picked another fight with the Dinobots, saying "Grimlock don't know nothing." [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]] objected to the opinion of the "stupid Decepticon rhino," and a brawl among the Primitives ensued. It was ended when [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] shook himself to throw the Primitives around. After Sky Lynx and Trypticon had their energy drained, the Primitives split up, fleeing for their lives. Detesting their cowardice, Headstrong declared that he should die fighting, and Razorclaw ordered the Predacons to form Predaking. However, their energy was sucked away, only to be restored when Grimlock destroyed Tornedron. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

====''Zone'' OVA, manga and story pages====

Seeking to create a [[Decepticon Zone]] to counter the [[Micro|Autobot Zone]], [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon Emperor]] [[Violen Jiger]] gathered together the Nine Great Demon Generals, upgrading them with powerful new armor and weaponry, then sent them forth to conquer planets. Headstrong was among the selected, but only as a part of Predaking. {{storylink|Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}}
{{storylink|Zone (manga)|Transformers: Zone}} {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
Headstrong and the Predacons were warlords on ancient Cybertron, exiled from the planet under circumstances unknown. It is believed that Starscream named his [[Predacon (War Within)|Dark Ages faction]] in their honor. Landing on the planet [[Beast (planet)|Beest]], the Predacons devolved into feral beasts over the years, until Megatron arrived on the planet in recent times and tamed them. He repaired their damaged circuitry, gave the Predacons the combined form of Predaking and, most importantly, programmed them to be loyal only to him. {{storylink|Welcome to the Jungle}} He then used Headstrong and the others to help him reclaim control of the Decepticons, first by overthrowing Shockwave on Cybertron {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}}, and later putting the beat down on Starscream and his brigade on Earth. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

===Devil's Due ''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers'' continuity===
Headstrong and the other Predacons battled the [[Seacon (G1)|Seacons]] over their portion of the [[Gladiator Zone]] when they were suddenly approached by [[Serpent O.R.]], who convinced both teams to join his reformed Decepticon army. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 2}} After helping to capture a team of Autobots and [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joes]], Headstrong was seen at a Decepticon meeting. For some reason, he took grave offense to [[Hun-Gurrr|Hun-Grrr]] insulting Tantrum and tried to attack the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]], but was stopped by Serpent O.R.'s tentacles. As part of Predaking, he later helped attack an Autobot peace ceremony. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3}} He was later seen among the Decepticon forces preparing to defend their base against a combined Autobot/G.I. Joe assault. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 4}}

===IDW comics continuity===
[[Image:SpotlightBlaster Predacons.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Hey waitaminute... they're retreating in reverse!]]
Before the war began, the Predacons, including Headstrong, were respondents to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s open casting call for [[Gladiatorial combat|gladiatorial combatants]]. Although the Predacons were contemptuous of some of the amateurs, they appeared to change their minds after seeing [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3}}

After the first defeat of [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] in a cataclysm during the war that followed, Headstrong and the other Predacons led the attack against the beleaguered Autobot positions soon after the Autobot morale-booster [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] was taken out by his [[Beachcomber (G1)|assassin]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blaster}}

[[Image:Stormbringer4 DCon groundforces.jpg|right|200px|thumb|I'll go to robot mode when I feel like it!]]
In the modern era, Headstrong, in a bizarrely horned tank mode, was among the Decepticon forces that helped the Autobots assault the reborn Thunderwing. That is, until he ran away. A few starblitz torpedoes, and he suddenly chickened out. WUSS! {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4}}

===Beast Wars===
====Timelines====
[[Image:DawnofFuturesPast G1Predacons.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Know that he is not Headstrong! (He's in the back.)]]
After the end of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], the Predacons (or those of them surviving) founded the new [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon faction]]. Years later, now in a reformatted technorganic body, Headstrong was once again plotting with his old team mates. This scene was said by Pete Sinclair to take place 50–100 years after Beast Machines. He also stated that the original Rampage, Tantrum, and Headstrong died at the end of the Great War, and the guys standing behind Razorclaw are their descendants. {{storylink|Dawn of Future's Past}}

On Cybertron, a group of five symbols appeared on the walls of a room containing a [[transwarp shunt]] device. The five symbols seemed to represent a lion, a bird, a bull, a rhinoceros, and a tiger. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 2}}

[[Image:Tantrum boxart.jpg|right|300px|thumb|STOP MOCKING MEEEE!!!]]
'''Tantrum''' is loads of fun. He's all violence and no patience. Give him a can of [[Kremzeek]][[Trademark|™]] energy drink with the tab pulled off, and he'll quickly devolve through frustration to crazed screaming to smashing the recalcitrant can to a splattered soup of oily drink and metal shavings. Such outbursts are common, and they usually end with a pile of smoking rubble, and Tantrum in the middle, with a happy, smiling face, the calmest and coolest of Decepticons, for a very short while, until next time the fit takes him.

The Decepticon command, [[Megatron (G1)|in their infinite wisdom]], have augmented the [[Electro-sword|swordfighting]], electrostatic-discharging, and fuel-carrying abilities of this walking Internet with a [[catalytic carbine]] rifle. This can be good for a lot of laughs when it converts the metal in a target to enjoyably dangerous isotopes for [[Blot (G1)|Blot]] to snack on and [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] to play with.

Tantrum and his fellow [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] can combine to form [[Predaking]].

The Predacons acted like Tantrum in their laughable attack on the [[Throttlebot]]s in a shopping mall. Tantrum would later get torn in half by [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], and bossed around by Scorponok and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], before he and the other Predacons were wiped out by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]'s [[Underbase]] powers in [[Tokyo]]. Some assassins they are. {{storylink|Toy Soldiers!}} {{storylink|Cold War}} {{storylink|Dark Star (issue)|Dark Star}}

{{earthforcefiction}}

''Tantrum was probably a member of Shockwave's faction on Earth, like his fellow Predacons, although this isn't entirely clear. When the [[Enclave]] broke out into total carnage due to an Autobot trick, Tantrum was right in the thick of it, probably enjoying every moment of chaos. {{storylink|The Bad Guy's Ball!}} He later joined [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] and the Decepticons in attacking the Autobot Earthbase. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}}''

====Generation 2====
One day, Tantrum was having some harmless fun slaughtering humans and causing massive property damage.

That killjoy [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] ran full-tilt into him in truck mode, blowing Tantrum into scattered chunks. Some people can't take a joke. {{storylink|The Gathering Darkness}}

===Cartoon continuity===
:''Voice actors:'' [[Philip L. Clarke]] (English), ? (Japanese)

Tantrum and the Predacons were created during an alliance between the Decepticons and [[Quintesson]]s. They were sent to [[Io]] to stop [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] from recovering [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]'s [[transformation cog]], leaving the Autobot city helpless against the coming attack of [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. Tantrum charged Wheelie like the bull he resembles, but the nimble Autobot leapt out of the way and Tantrum crashed into [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]] instead. The battle was kicked up a notch when the Predacons combined into Predaking and had their first fight with [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]]. Tantrum was sure they'd obliterate him, but after they got knocked into separate components again, [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] began to retreat and Tantrum was forced to flee as well. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

[[Image:Tantrumchaos.jpg|left|200px|thumb|MESS WITH THE BULL, YOU GET THE HORNS!!!]]
On the planet [[Dread]], the Predacons were overseeing construction of a massive cannon which would allow [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] to destroy Cybertron with a huge blast of [[Death crystal|death crystals]]. An Autobot strike team landed on the planet while the Preds were patrolling, and the Decepticons engaged the scouts, [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] and Blurr. While Razorclaw and Rampage kept Kup busy, Tantrum and Headstrong rammed Blurr into quickmud, and watched him sink. He would've been obliterated, but Sky Lynx came looking for his Auto-buddies and pulled the motormouth free. The cocky Tantrum was sure they'd obliterate Sky Lynx, but his delusions of adequacy were quickly shattered as the Predacons were forced into a retreat. {{storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}}

During an attack on [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] on Cybertron, Tantrum and the Predacons became the unwilling subjects of a Quintesson reality-altering effect, where a dream machine was turning [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]]'s nightmares into tangible threats and screwing up the environment. After Razorclaw and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] were hauled off by a flying dragon, Rodimus Prime suggested a cease fire so that the Autobots and Predacons could work together and find their friends. Tantrum made a counter-offer, and suggested he wouldn't obliterate the Autobots right that moment if they stayed out of his way. He did manage to blow up a giant plant with the electro-blasts from his horns, so maybe Tantrum didn't need help after all. {{storylink|Nightmare Planet}}

====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====
[[Image:Wheelie-hm.jpg|right|200px|thumb|]]

While invading [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Tantrum happened across an unguarded [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel]]. Never one to pass up an opportunity to maul a small child, Tantrum immediately attacked. Unfortunately for him, [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] burst onto the scene, tackled him and beat him senseless. ''Wheelie''. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}}

Seeking to create a [[Decepticon Zone]] to counter the [[Micro|Autobot Zone]], [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon Emperor]] [[Violen Jiger]] gathered together the Nine Great Demon Generals, upgrading them with powerful new armor and weaponry, then sent them forth to conquer planets. Tantrum was among the selected, but only as a part of Predaking. {{storylink|Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}} {{storylink|Zone (manga)|Transformers: Zone}} {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
Tantrum and the Predacons were only ever identified as long lost "warlords" who had apparently been exiled from Cybertron in the distant past. It was not made clear if they were particularly warlike Decepticons, or had been warriors who actually predated Megatron's rise to power. Whatever the case, they had ended up on the planet [[Beast (planet)|Beest]] and, by modern times, had descended into feral beast modes, operating purely on animal instinct. {{storylink|Welcome to the Jungle}}

Megatron, who was similarly in exile at the time, challenged their leader Razorclaw and defeated him in battle. He then reprogrammed the Predacons to be loyal only to him, and gave them the combiner form of Predaking. Tantrum and the others then helped Megatron resume control over the Decepticons, ousting Shockwave and Starscream from command of their respective splinter armies. {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}} {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

===Devil's Due ''G.I.Joe Vs. Transformers'' continuity===
Tantrum and his Predacon comrades attacked [[Nautilator]] when he dared to intrude on the Predacons' piece of the [[Gladiator Zone]], but Nautilator fetched his own [[Seacon (G1)|friends]] and formed [[Piranacon (G1)|Piranacon]], prompting the Predacons to combine as well. Predaking eventually defeated Piranacon, but before he could delivered the killing blow, he was frozen in place by [[Serpent O.R.]], who convinced Tantrum and the others to join his new Decepticon army. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 2}}

When a group of Autobots and [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joes]] came hunting after Serpent O.R., Predaking stomped on [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] with his Tantrum leg. During a Decepticon gathering later on, Divebomb got into a fight with [[Hun-Gurrr|Hun-Grrr]] and tried to gaud Tantrum into attacking the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]] by claiming Hun-Grrr called him "slow on the upload". Oddly enough, ''Headstrong'' was the one to take offense to this. As Predaking, the Predacons then participated in an attack on an Autobot peace ceremony. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3}} Tantrum was later seen among the Decepticon forces preparing to defend their base from a major Autobot/G.I. Joe assault. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 4}}

===IDW comics continuity===
Tantrum fought for Megatron in the illegal gladiatorial deathmatches held in the [[Forge]]. He and the future Predacons also became some of the first Decepticons, turning the fighting towards the public and launching an insurrection in [[Kaon]] against the [[Senate]], under Megatron's command. {{storylink|Megatron Origin}}

After the first defeat of [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] in a cataclysm during the war that followed, Tantrum and the other Predacons led the attack against the beleaguered Autobot positions soon after the Autobot morale-booster [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] was taken out by his [[Beachcomber (G1)|assassin]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blaster}}

[[Image:Stormbringer4 DCon groundforces.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Surprisingly mellow for Tantrum.]]
In modern times, he served with the rest of the Predacons aboard the ''[[Thanatos]]'', and joined Headstrong in leading a ground envoy onto Cybertron's surface to help the [[Wrecker|Wreckers]] battle the resurrected Thunderwing. Their aid helped turn the tide, so Razorclaw didn't have to use the ship's starblitz torpedoes to obliterate the entire planet. That makes the Predacons heroes! (Say that again, though, and Tantrum will make sure you get obliterated.) {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4}}

{{picsneeded|Fiction, toy}}
:''Headstrong is a [[Decepticon]] [[Predacon (G1)|Predacon]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Headstrong boxart.gif|right|250px|thumb|Marching to the beat of his own drummer. Whom he stomped on.]]
You can ''tell'' '''Headstrong''' that a three-foot-thick steel tank is full of dangerously radioactive waste, but it won't do a lick of good if he thinks you've hidden the [[Energon (fuel)|energon]] goodies in it. He'll attack it with his unbreakable ramming head and acid-dripping horn until he's conclusively proven wrong, then retreat with his well-earned wounds to suck his thumb, still convinced deep in his tiny brain that somebody had tricked him.

Despite such mishaps, Headstrong still plugs away. He believes that tenacity can compensate those minor qualities in which he's lacking, such as strength, intelligence, or courage. To his credit, [[Starscream (G1)|not a few of his allies]] seem to subscribe to this philosophy, and Headstrong isn't dead yet.

Best and brightest he may not be, but he's always ready to grab his [[diffraction sword]] and start waving it around. It affects his opponent's optics, so that where they see Headstrong, that's where he ain't. It's unfortunate that his own eyesight isn't much better. A distant foe must beware Headstrong's glowing [[Plasma sphere shooter|plasma spheres]], which explode on contact. Woe to the one who touches Headstrong's balls!

Headstrong and his fellow Predacons can combine to form [[Predaking]], but he'll only do it when ''he'' wants to do it.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Generation 1====
{{noteukonly}}
''As [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s paranoia reached its peak, [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] suggested that they enlist the help of the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] to flush out [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], allowing Megatron to finally defeat him. However, [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] called them from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], and gave the Predacon leader Razorclaw secret orders to turn on Megatron at a crucial moment. The Predacons successfully hunted down Optimus, and when Megatron arrived, as Shockwave ordered, they turned on him. After learning of Shockwave and the Predacons' betrayal, Megatron summoned a [[space bridge]] to Cybertron to escape, but Prime flung them both through the bridge before it had fully materialized.'' {{storylink|Prey!}} {{storylink|The Harder They Die!}}

''Fortunately for Headstrong and the other Predacons, Megatron lost his memory of this incident when [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] attempted to take over his body.'' {{storylink|Resurrection!}}

Headstrong, along with the other Predacons, hunted Megatron on orders from Shockwave. {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}}

{{charstubfiction}}

=====Earthforce=====
{{earthforcefiction}}
''Headstrong was one of Shockwave's minions when the Decepticon army split into two factions led by ol' one-eye and Megatron. When their fight for power and control grew too critical, they called an [[Enclave]] to discuss reuniting against the Autobots. Headstrong hardly cared about the politics -- he was just so happy to see the hor d'oeuvres table! The happy little rhino spent most of the night stuffing his face and getting blitzed on the punch. The Autobots came by to ruin his party, however, as they couldn't allow a unified Decepticon army to stand against them. So... [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] cold-conked the already tipsy Headstrong and dragged him away into the shadows. Then, the Autobots staged "sniper fire" against Megatron and, when he and his Decepticons fired back, they tossed the unconscious Headstrong and his weapon down as if he'd been hit. Thinking Shockwave had sent the Predacon as an assassin, Megatron called a quick and violent end to the truce, and the two factions returned to open warfare with each other. [[Primus]] only knows how Headstrong explained himself when he came to. {{storylink|The Bad Guy's Ball!}}''

''Some time later, Headstrong was briefly seen charging the Autobot Earthbase with his fellow Decepticons during a siege. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}}''

====Generation 2====
Headstrong appeared during the Autobot/Decepticon alliance, battling the [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]]. He, [[Weirdwolf]], and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] had lots of fun counting kills and munching metal. {{storylink|Total War!}}

===Cartoon continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Ron Feinberg]] (English), [[Takurō Kitagawa]] (Japanese)

[[Image:FFOD5 Predacons.JPG|right|200px|thumb|Headstrong can be seen on the left]]
Headstrong was dispatched to [[Io]] with the other Predacons to steal [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]'s [[transformation cog]]. During the battle, the Predacons combined into Predaking, only to be defeated by [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]]. [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] retreated, despite Headstrong's objections. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

Headstrong and the Predacons were next seen guarding [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]'s [[death crystal]] cannon on the planet [[Dread]]. When the Autobots arrived, Headstrong and Tantrum almost managed to shut [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] up permanently by knocking him into quickmud, but Sky Lynx pulled him to safety. {{storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}}

On a mission to drain the planet [[Paradron]] of its rich energy resources, the Decepticons managed to conquer its peaceful population with ease. One Paradronian named [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] got away and brought back an Autobot strike force, however. Once they were spotted, Galvatron ordered Headstrong and [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] to man the [[molecular cannon]] and blow them away. Both warriors were probably real eager to fire, but once Brawl said it was time to take the shot, Headstrong just had to be difficult and stall a few moments more until he was "good and ready". Decepticons and their personality problems... {{storylink|Fight or Flee}}

[[Image:Headstrong fist.jpg|left|200px|thumb|OMG!! Headstrong is adorable!]]
When the Predacons later attempted to ambush [[Rodimus Prime (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] and his soldiers on Cybertron, their battle was interrupted by a [[Quintesson]] dream machine that surrounded the Transformers with a fog-filled landscape and subjected them to nightmarish torments plucked from the subconscious of [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]]. After [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] and Razorclaw were carried off by a dragon, the Predacons reluctantly stopped fighting the Autobots long enough to deal with their lost leader. Headstrong was particularly edgy around the Autobots, and warned Rodimus Prime to stay out of his way. Headstrong thought the worst was over when "Galvatron" showed up in a House of Mirrors, not recognizing the unusual size and behavior of his commander. Even after "Galvatron" spontaneously grew several stories taller and began to crush Rodimus and Headstrong in his hands, Headstrong was still pulling the "It's me, Galvatron! Don't you recognize me?!" routine. Pure instinct; no brains. Headstrong's leg was seriously injured by the crushing vise of the false Galvatron's grip, and his damage prevented the Predacons from forming Predaking and continuing the fight with the Autobots after the Quintesson machine was destroyed. {{storylink|Nightmare Planet}}

Later, Headstrong and the Predacons were battling the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] on a lifeless planetoid. Headstrong was tripped up by [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] in battle, flipping over onto his back. Give how he kept bouncing after the impact, you'd think he was made of jello. Headstrong and the other [[Primitive|Primitives]] were then summoned to fight [[Tornedron]]. During the trip to meet [[Oracle (G1)|Primacron's Assistant]], Headstrong, being a wise and intelligent construct, picked another fight with the Dinobots, saying "Grimlock don't know nothing." [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]] objected to the opinion of the "stupid Decepticon rhino," and a brawl among the Primitives ensued. It was ended when [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] shook himself to throw the Primitives around. After Sky Lynx and Trypticon had their energy drained, the Primitives split up, fleeing for their lives. Detesting their cowardice, Headstrong declared that he should die fighting, and Razorclaw ordered the Predacons to form Predaking. However, their energy was sucked away, only to be restored when Grimlock destroyed Tornedron. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

====''Zone'' OVA, manga and story pages====

Seeking to create a [[Decepticon Zone]] to counter the [[Micro|Autobot Zone]], [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon Emperor]] [[Violen Jiger]] gathered together the Nine Great Demon Generals, upgrading them with powerful new armor and weaponry, then sent them forth to conquer planets. Headstrong was among the selected, but only as a part of Predaking. {{storylink|Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}}
{{storylink|Zone (manga)|Transformers: Zone}} {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
Headstrong and the Predacons were warlords on ancient Cybertron, exiled from the planet under circumstances unknown. It is believed that Starscream named his [[Predacon (War Within)|Dark Ages faction]] in their honor. Landing on the planet [[Beast (planet)|Beest]], the Predacons devolved into feral beasts over the years, until Megatron arrived on the planet in recent times and tamed them. He repaired their damaged circuitry, gave the Predacons the combined form of Predaking and, most importantly, programmed them to be loyal only to him. {{storylink|Welcome to the Jungle}} He then used Headstrong and the others to help him reclaim control of the Decepticons, first by overthrowing Shockwave on Cybertron {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}}, and later putting the beat down on Starscream and his brigade on Earth. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

===Devil's Due ''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers'' continuity===
Headstrong and the other Predacons battled the [[Seacon (G1)|Seacons]] over their portion of the [[Gladiator Zone]] when they were suddenly approached by [[Serpent O.R.]], who convinced both teams to join his reformed Decepticon army. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 2}} After helping to capture a team of Autobots and [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joes]], Headstrong was seen at a Decepticon meeting. For some reason, he took grave offense to [[Hun-Gurrr|Hun-Grrr]] insulting Tantrum and tried to attack the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]], but was stopped by Serpent O.R.'s tentacles. As part of Predaking, he later helped attack an Autobot peace ceremony. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3}} He was later seen among the Decepticon forces preparing to defend their base against a combined Autobot/G.I. Joe assault. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 4}}

===IDW comics continuity===
[[Image:SpotlightBlaster Predacons.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Hey waitaminute... they're retreating in reverse!]]
Before the war began, the Predacons, including Headstrong, were respondents to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s open casting call for [[Gladiatorial combat|gladiatorial combatants]]. Although the Predacons were contemptuous of some of the amateurs, they appeared to change their minds after seeing [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3}}

After the first defeat of [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] in a cataclysm during the war that followed, Headstrong and the other Predacons led the attack against the beleaguered Autobot positions soon after the Autobot morale-booster [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] was taken out by his [[Beachcomber (G1)|assassin]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blaster}}

[[Image:Stormbringer4 DCon groundforces.jpg|right|200px|thumb|I'll go to robot mode when I feel like it!]]
In the modern era, Headstrong, in a bizarrely horned tank mode, was among the Decepticon forces that helped the Autobots assault the reborn Thunderwing. That is, until he ran away. A few starblitz torpedoes, and he suddenly chickened out. WUSS! {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4}}

==Synopsis==
Rhinox has built a device to deflect Unicron's attempts to pull victims from other dimensions. The Autobots deflect two such attempts, but are only partially successful: instead of being transported to Unicron, the victims end up on a frozen planetoid.

Rattrap, Silverbolt and Waspinator are sent to help the victims, but Unicron sends Reptilion, Sunstorm, Ruination and Perceptor after them as well.

As a side effect of Rhinox's device, a vortex opens in space and sucks in Autobot stellar freighter [[OTFCC (ship)|OTFCC]], piloted by Bumblebee, Tracks and Cosmos, from the past. Sunstorm attacks the Maximal ship, but they are saved by being transported to the Autobot shuttle.

After shooting down Sunstorm, the Autobots and Maximals travel to the planetoid, where they save the victims from the Decepticons. Two groups of Autobots have been stranded there, each from a different parallel universe: Landfill, Side Burn and Prowl, from the ''[[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' timeline; and Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Prowl and Ironhide, hailing from a universe both unknown and undersized.

The various groups fight off the Decepticons, and the Autobot ship is sent back to its own time.

==Errors==
* How many unknown characters can you really cram into a 20-minute voice play??

==Items of Note==
* This live-action script reading took place Saturday night at [[OTFCC 2004]].
* Prime, Magnus, Prowl and Ironhide are based on their ''Universe'' [[Spy Changer]] incarnations.
* Sunstorm and Perceptor are referred to by other characters, but have no dialogue. Ironhide, Landfill and Ultra Magnus appear only in the art for the story, but are not specifically mentioned anywhere in the script.
* As usual with such convention performances, the characters frequently break the fourth wall. For example, Reptilion plugs the ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide|Ultimate Guide]]'' in dialogue, while Rattrap plugs ''Transformers Universe'' #1/2, which was never actually released. Oops.
* Despite its tongue-in-cheek nature, the story is still part of the ''Universe'' storyline; in fact, chronologically, it is the last finished portion of the story, as 3H lost the Transformers license before the last issues of the ''Universe'' comic could be completed. The future period seen breifly at the end of [[Dawn of Future's Past]] seems to be the only story set farther in the future of the same continuity.

==Notes and disclaimers==
The info for the script reading comes primarily from the summary provided on this page: [[Prowl (Spychanger)]]. It fits with my memory of the event, and though I can't vouch for the details, it sounds like this person has a copy of the script, based on the sheer number of characters they recalled.

However, I have no idea who "Thrust" is supposed to be, or what kind of details we're missing about the Spychanger guys, or who if anyone voiced all these characters (didn't some woman do Optimus?) Rhinox's VA wasn't even ''at'' Oatfuck 04, so Rhinox may not have even appeared in the play, instead being mentioned by the other characters.

The original summary is quoted here for posterity, since that page is marked for deletion:
:2004 Voice actor play plot: Rhinox has built a device to deflect Unicron's attempts to pull victims from other dimensions with his tractor beam. The Autobots deflect two attempts and the victims end up on a frozen planetoid instead of with Unicron. Maximals Rattrap and Silverbolt and the Predacon Waspinator are sent to help the victims, but Reptilion, Sunstorm, Ruination and Perceptor are sent to get them for Unicron. As a side effect of the device Rhinox built, a vortex opens which sucks in an Autobot shuttle from the past piloted by Bumblebee, Tracks and Cosmos. Thrust attacks the Maximal ship, but they are saved by being transported to the Autobot shuttle. The Autobots and Maximals then go to the planet where they save the victims from the Decepticons. On the planet are two groups of Autobots. One is from the Robots in Disguise story, with Landfill (Wal-Mart recolor), Side Burn (Universe recolor) and Prowl (Universe recolor). The other is from another parallel world with Spy Changer Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Prowl and Ironhide. They all fight off the Decepticons. The Autobot shuttle is sent back to its own time. -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 00:21, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

There was also a splash page that depicted some of the characters in this play in the OTFCC program for that year. If no one has a scan I think I might have it on my old PC. I can try and find it to upload. [[User:Lightsyder|Lightsyder]] 14:21, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

One more thing, I purchased a copy of this script from Simon Furman a few years ago and after I recieved it I asked him about placement of the story in relation to the Universe comics. He said it would have been Universe #4 1/2. [[User:Lightsyder|Lightsyder]] 14:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

:I've got the program. <strike>That splash shot also includes Hot Spot, who far as I know wasn't in the story, so it's not really related to it.</strike> It might be nice to have for [[Michael McConnohie]]'s page, though.
:But if you've got the script, definately give the page a fact-checking and longer write-up. Any characters who don't speak can be moved to a "minor characters" list. -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 15:10, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
::....oh. I just realized you meant a different image, which is indeed the script reading crew. I'm scanning it now. -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 20:21, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

:Tiny yellow RiD Prime, IIRC. [[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 06:42, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
:Yellow RID Spychanger Prime, who apparently should have his own page, along with his Spychanger buddies from this story. But until someone with a copy of the script steps up to the plate, we don't know enough to even assign a name to their continuity of origin, let alone write pages about them. -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 06:43, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, I was about to say. They're all from a crazy tiny Spychanger universe, so that Prime doesn't really have a home on anyone else's page. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 06:46, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Why would they have their own page? They're from an alternate RiD continuity, but still in the RiD continuity family. We don't have separate pages or Marvel Optimus Prime and Dreamwave Optimus Prime.
:::We make exceptions for TFU characters if multiple incarnations of 1 character exist side-by-side or one of the abductees decided to permanently hang around. Neither is the case here AFAIK. Am I missing some wrinkle in the standard we're applying?-[[User:Derik|Derik]] 10:26, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
::::Well, they're RiD guys popping into a G1 universe, alongside characters that, within the fiction, are from a ''different'' RiD universe. Anyways, this Prime is little, yellow, and has a girl voice. Along with the fact that the two universes are acknowledged ''within the fiction'', it sounds like enough difference to pop him and his buddies off on their own page to me. (Also, [[Optimus Prime (Worlds Collide)|this guy]]'s got his own page, and all he did was ''die!'') -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 23:04, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::Ah, good point. Characters from the mainline RiD universe appear in the ''same story''. Disambiging = useful.
:::::I have some not-very-speculative ideas on this matter. Is the script scanned/transcribed online anywhere? It sounds like more than 1 wiki member has copies... -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 23:18, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
::::::I've never been able to find a copy of it online; in fact it's almost like it never happened, for all the mention it gets online. If I did find it, this article would be in much better shape. -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 23:41, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Somewhere in the depths of space, seven balls of glowing energy streak out of a void...

On the reformatted [[technorganic]] Cybertron, Rook reports on the return to Cybertron of some long-lost travelers. After some banter from Cheetor and Rattrap, the ship lands, and its passengers disembark: the long-absent Autobots Trailbreaker, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Shadow Striker and Roulette. Sideswipe is shocked by the changes to Cybertron, while Sunstreaker just basks in the adulation.

Without warning, what appear to be fireworks strike the five Autobots, as well as Blackarachnia and Silverbolt, and whisk them away, leaving a bewildered Rook behind. The seven abductees materialize in an unknown location. Blackarachnia notes that the place is crawling with evil...and a booming voice welcomes them to [[The Pit]]!

Within Cybertron, Primus and Alpha Trion confer on [[Unicron|the Enemy]]'s rising plans.

Back in the Pit, Silverbolt is painfully rebuilt into his ''Beast Wars''-era body. Soon he is reunited with the others and sees that Sideswipe and Sunstreaker have likewise been recreated into new forms. The group travels across a thin bridge over a bubbling cauldron...from which emerge hordes of fiery demon-like creatures. Though the Transformers fight well, they are soon captured by the weight of numbers and brought into a nearby arena.

As the group is led into cages, Blackarachnia resists—and is promptly bashed into place by Tankor. The other watching Generals explain: Obsidian is from an alternate Cybertron where he seized power. As for the Tigerhawk lookalike, know that he is Razorclaw, that his reality is not yours, and while he shares Tigerhawk's dual spark and Vok heritage...he is not he! Er, him. That is, he's not Tigerhawk.

Obsidian explains that they are here simply to fight and die. As an example, two Autobots who have already succumbed to the madness are turned loose on each other. After a fierce battle, [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]] is destroyed by [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]], his Spark consumed by Unicron.

On Cybertron, Primus feels a part of himself devoured. He and Alpha Trion call forth their champion...the revived Optimus Primal!

==Synopsis==
Somewhere in the depths of space, seven balls of glowing energy streak out of a void...

On the reformatted [[technorganic]] Cybertron, Rook reports on the return to Cybertron of some long-lost travelers. After some banter from Cheetor and Rattrap, the ship lands, and its passengers disembark: the long-absent Autobots Trailbreaker, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Shadow Striker and Roulette. Sideswipe is shocked by the changes to Cybertron, while Sunstreaker just basks in the adulation.

Without warning, what appear to be fireworks strike the five Autobots, as well as Blackarachnia and Silverbolt, and whisk them away, leaving a bewildered Rook behind. The seven abductees materialize in an unknown location. Blackarachnia notes that the place is crawling with evil...and a booming voice welcomes them to [[The Pit]]!

Within Cybertron, Primus and Alpha Trion confer on [[Unicron|the Enemy]]'s rising plans.

Back in the Pit, Silverbolt is painfully rebuilt into his ''Beast Wars''-era body. Soon he is reunited with the others and sees that Sideswipe and Sunstreaker have likewise been recreated into new forms. The group travels across a thin bridge over a bubbling cauldron...from which emerge hordes of fiery demon-like creatures. Though the Transformers fight well, they are soon captured by the weight of numbers and brought into a nearby arena.

As the group is led into cages, Blackarachnia resists—and is promptly bashed into place by Tankor. The other watching Generals explain: Obsidian is from an alternate Cybertron where he seized power. As for the Tigerhawk lookalike, know that he is Razorclaw, that his reality is not yours, and while he shares Tigerhawk's dual spark and Vok heritage...he is not he! Er, him. That is, he's not Tigerhawk.

Obsidian explains that they are here simply to fight and die. As an example, two Autobots who have already succumbed to the madness are turned loose on each other. After a fierce battle, [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]] is destroyed by [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]], his Spark consumed by Unicron.

On Cybertron, Primus feels a part of himself devoured. He and Alpha Trion call forth their champion...the revived Optimus Primal!

==Gauntlets==
On the Transformers Collector Club message board M Sipher say "The gauntlets thing was more an in-joke than a toy reference... though I note that the tire-halves can be held in his hands. Yeah, wrong position to really be used like brass knuckles (which are kinda what nucleon shock gauntlets look like, per "Force of Habit"), but if we can accept Rhinox's Chaingun of Doom... Brawn is indeed a repurposed movie Strongarm. The 3H Brawn crossed our minds, but between the colors and the "never happening" angle..."

==Movie Jolt vs Movie Jolt==
Sorry if the post about Jolt not being confused with the previously released Jolt wasn't a good one... Just thought it was sort of a unique case that should be addressed, what with there being two movie Jolts, and unlike the 2007 one which didn't appear in any movies and has since been changed to a different character, also not appearing in the movies, the new Jolt is in the movie. I know that's what disambiguation is for, but I just thought it was an interesting bit of trivia that a movie character's name was already used in the movieverse, though for a different character. (not including the whole movie Arcee thing) -Cliffjumper Prime

==Megatron joke==
The monsters in MMPR always started out human-sized. Then, at some point, Rita throws her staff down from the Moon shouting "Make my monster grow!". The staff lands in the ground and energy shoots out of it, making the monster enormous. The laser effects around Megatron's cannon in that picture look a lot like the staff. Here is a YouTube clip of it: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUelB-OSneY]. Honestly, it's not a big deal to me, but the old joke doesn't really make any sense in the first place. It seems to be a premature ejaculation joke to go along with his cannon firing, but it's not like there's anybody else in the picture for the innuendo to be complete. I think the observation our anonymous editor made about the resemblance to the staff is actually pretty clever. A rare instance of somebody changing a joke for the better, IMO. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 16:20, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
:Huzzah! I have a talk page now! Anyway, thanks for clearing it up... I didn't get the ressemblance of Bandora's staff to the laser blast effects of Megatron's cannons... At least I understood the previous joke, wasn't all that funny but it made sense without the explanation. -[[User:Detour|Detour]] 16:54, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

== Airazor caption ==

Hi. I was wondering what was wrong with the old caption for the Airazor photo.
:Essentially, there's nothing wrong with the toy so criticizing it like that is pointless. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 08:29, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
::Okay. I didn't think the caption was meant as a criticism of the toy. I thought it was meant to point out that though she was designed as a female figure, she didn't really turn out looking any more female than any other Transformer (excluding Arcee and Thunderblast). But humor is subjective, and what I find somewhat funny might not seem funny at all to someone else.
:::Airazor was designed as a male figure. The toy/character only became female on the insistence of the show writers. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 09:15, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

== Blurr ==

He is known to be a member, which should be enough, but he is also known to appear again later in the season, both through the footage from Dubai and the teasers released on the blog. That's why I said that I believed that it ws exception enough if he wasn't a member, it wouldn't need to be moved, but both together seem to be compelling enough.[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 16:56, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
:Look at your talk page, anything Dubai-related ''should not'' be discussed here in any capacity. We are not gloryhounds like Seibertron trying to be the first ones to announce every single giant spoiler of every single piece of media. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 19:49, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
::That's great, but that's not what I am trying to say. He was announced as a character a while ago, before Dubai, and on one of the creator blogs. He's known to be in the Elite Guard, and we even know who his American voice actor is. We've even had him make his first appearance. Dubai just confirmed an episode he reappears in. That's all I'm trying to say - that we know he's in the guard, and we have confirmation from various sources of a future appearance. Hell, that we've listed his voice actor should be confirmation enough.
::And I didn't make the edit to spread spoilers - I did it to add info to a wiki, when the info is confirmed. Yes, we should not be obsessed with news, but neither should we put blinders on and wait until info is months or years old. (Hyperbole, but you get my point)[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 22:05, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

== Rabbicrater Edits ==

Just FYI, the edits HooperX made were capitalizing on the fact that Rabbicrater looks like his name contains the word "rabbi", when in fact it's meant to be most of the word "rabbit". The caption gag of "L'chaim" thus becomes more obvious, though I like the current one better. As for the miscellaneous trivia, I think it's an attempt at a callback to one of the final scenes from the Mel Brooks film ''History of the World, Part 1''. So not TOTAL nonsense.--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 14:16, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
:Oh, well I don't know much about Judaism so "L'chaim" is kind of flying over my head right now (and I believe even if explained, the Yaoi Kiss Players joke will still be funnier)... And the misc trivia, well History Of The World Part 1 is one of the Mel Brooks films I have not yet had the pleasure of watching... Even then, it's kind of out of place in the same paragraph as the info about the rabbit on the moon... if Hooper wants to bring it back I would suggest he add another asterisk paragraph to point it out... --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 15:11, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
::Long story short, a robot with the word "Rabbi" in his name, even if it actually has to do with "rabbit" is ripe for Judaism gags. "L'Chaim!" is a traditional exclamation of celebration. Originally, I was just gonna put the lyrics to Hava Nagila up there, but hey. The Kiss Players thing I had to stop and stare at - the two dudes humping are kind of cut out of the frame. But hey, whatever. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 15:15, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
:::FWIW, "L'chaim" is a traditional Hebrew version of "Cheers!" and literally means "To life!" I'm up for ethnic humor as much as the <s>next</s> previous guy, but I still find the KP gag funnier in this case. The thought of "Hava Negila" lyrics as a caption does make me grin, though...--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 16:05, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

People gotta go do other things besides argue with somebody on the other side of the computer all day. So do you know how severe punishment is for vandalizing someone's User Page?---[[User:AWT88|AWT88]] 22:15, 4 June 2009 (EDT)
:In this case, I'm inclined to believe it was a simple accident. The guy isn't really all that wiki savvy, and may have just clicked on your sig and thought it was your talkpage. He's... well, I don't hold any illusions he's going to be a productive user here, but he's on a dynamic IP and isn't outright harmful so I'm not sure what a block would accomplish.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 22:17, 4 June 2009 (EDT)
::True, I didn't take that into account. I tend to jump to the vandalism claim (or any claim honestly) a little too gung-ho sometimes, and this is one of those times.--[[User:AWT88|AWT88]] 22:27, 4 June 2009 (EDT)
:::S'okay. I mean, I'd be lying if I said my cursor didn't hover over the block button on him while I thought about it. Trouble is his two IPs so far don't even seem to share a common subnet, so even an IP range ban wouldn't be viable. If he becomes genuinely abusive lemme know and I'd be happy to play whack-a-mole with his IPs.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 22:31, 4 June 2009 (EDT)

Sorry, I'm new here. Won't happen again, trust me.--[[User:ACIDSTORM92|ACIDSTORM92]] 20:59, 12 June 2009 (EDT)

==Barricade ROTF DS game==
Why instand of deleting it why dont you fix all my misspelling i have the game and all barricade parts are true.--[[User:Eagc7|Eagc7]]
:So... the burden is on ''us'' to fix what you write?--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 15:07, 30 June 2009 (EDT)
:Because neither I nor anyone else on the wiki is your personal spellchecker. If you want your edits to stick, put some effort into it and that includes using proper English. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 15:07, 30 June 2009 (EDT)

== Ze little one ==

"The identity of ze little one is a bit on the fraught side. In the flyover shot of the barge on which the four Constructicons sit, a red bulldozer (Rampage), a concrete mixer (Mixmaster), a dump truck (Long Haul) and a yellow front-end loader are visible. The yellow front-end loader is the alternate mode of the Constructicon Scrapper, and ze little one's robot mode appears to be the same as Scrapper's. As such, the temptation to just consider this a Scrapper unit is great... except that, after the flyover shot, the yellow loader disappears, and is replaced with a yellow Volvo excavator, clearly marked with a large Decepticon insignia. For the purposes of reducing headaches, we're assuming that the excavator is the "correct" vehicle mode, and that it just happens to transform into a robot mode that resembles Scrapper...even though it's not him. "

I wasn't aware of the decision that had reached on the "Ze little one" page, so I didn't realize that this was the reasoning being used. I can agree with this, and I'm sorry the discussion got so hostile. Have a great week.[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 00:30, 16 July 2009 (EDT)

== SG Ark & SG Nemesis ==

I'd just have Derik's bot fix those links along with the rest. I only fixed the others because there was about 2-3 links each instead of the 60+ for those two pages. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 16:32, 6 August 2009 (EDT)

== TFA: S.P.'s amnesia ==

You completely sure about that? Seemed like a kind of joke to me - Wasp going through this whole list of humiliation and Sentinel denying it while keeping a straight face.
EDIT: sorry for double posting, my browser's acting a little strange [[User:Silver|Silvery]] 13:26, 25 August 2009 (EDT)
:Except Sentinel finishes the scene by saying "Wait a minute, that was you?" He genuinely doesn't remember, only recalling it then and there. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 13:27, 25 August 2009 (EDT)
::Oookay, my bad. Seems like his ego is powerful enough to erase memories of minor, non-significant beings like Wasp, Bee or Bulky... [[User:Silver|Silvery]] 13:45, 25 August 2009 (EDT)

==Deaths of Optimus Prime "fanon"==
That... wasn't fanon. It was more awkwardly phrased, but consistent with how it was portrayed in the episode. Aerialbots even say, to my recollection, that there are "others at the hanger." Elita-1 was rebuilt. Dion wasn't mentioned. What part of that is fanon, and why did that give you the right to allcaps that dude into submission for it? --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 00:17, 6 October 2009 (EDT)
:Well it explicitly said in the anon guy's contribution way back there that "Ariel and Dion were also rebuilt" (followed by an awkward parenthesis saying Ariel at least). Plus, the episode itself is awkwardly phrased... Slingshot says "There are others back at the hangar, his girlfriend Ariel" as though he actually meant to say "there's another one back at the hangar, his girlfriend Ariel". After Orion is rebuilt as Prime, there's no concern for any "others" and they only speak of Ariel, whom Alpha Trion says he'll "send droids out for". No mention at all that he'd rebuild other casualties of the hangar massacre. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 00:32, 6 October 2009 (EDT)
::Another interpretation: Slingshot says "There are others back at the hangar, [for example] his girlfriend Ariel." Otherwise, he's not being correct when he says there are "otherS" there. Plural. I'm not saying that Alpha Trion rebuilt anybody other than Prime and Elita, or that we have any evidence thereof. I'm saying what the guy wrote, in that particular revision, was technically correct. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 01:50, 6 October 2009 (EDT)
:::The ''best'' kind of correct. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 02:06, 6 October 2009 (EDT)

== the Peter Cullen photo. ==

I know the person who is in that picture. I thought it would be fun depicting him being the nice guy that he is. If you want me to identify where I got the image from, I can link you right to the source. [[User:Unicron|Unicron]] 02:59, 12 October 2009 (EDT)

== editing ==

sorry about the starscream page, but did you really have to edit out '''''everything''''' I did? [[User:Masterman555|Masterman555]] 22:54, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
:Well, yeah. You screwed up the formatting and the order of figures in the toy section, messed with captions and changed all the thumbnails to ungodly huge sizes. It's pretty standard procedure to undo that. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 23:14, 21 October 2009 (EDT)

== Robot Heroes Thrust eyes==
Thank you for correcting that, I just took an even closer look to the toy and realized I had made a mistake.[[User:ACIDSTORM92|ACIDSTORM92]] 22:39, 12 November 2009 (EST)

== IDW ==

Oh come on, dude. We can take the piss out of IDW sometimes, but that last edit was a bit much.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 23:43, 12 November 2009 (EST)
:Not even my words there. But like a lot have said... Continuum is pretty much the straw that broke the camel's back. And really, their own page needs a dose of piss-taking-out too, no matter how slight. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 23:46, 12 November 2009 (EST)
What Rosi said. No. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 23:52, 12 November 2009 (EST)

==British English spellings==
Please read [[Help:Style_guide#National_varieties_of_English]], it mentions guidelines to spelling that may help you. As Club material is published by a company based in Texas, I went with the American English. Keep British English spelling in the UK articles.
