[[Image:BoosterX10_beast.jpg|thumb|right|250px|''This'' is what Furman was talking about.]]

'''Booster X10''' is one of many small Transformers who were once normal machines brought to life by the power of the [[All Spark]]. Booster X10 loves to mess with his user's head, and he does that through messing with their ears. Sound manipulation is his specialty, and not only can he record and playback sound, but alter still in the air soundwaves. He laughs to himself, knowing how much trouble and strife he can cause with a warped word in conversation, or changing something like an ambulance siren into a mewing kitten.

: Booster X10 transforms from a robotic bird into a (non-functional) fictional model MP3 player with an ear bud. His main body vaguely resembles the design of an iPod Nano, and his weapon backpack strongly resembles a bluetooth headset. Like all [[Real Gear Robots]] toys, his robot mode is apparently at 1:1 scale--and the headset is surprisingly comfortable.

The toy was redecoed as [[Night Beat 7]]

Deathsaurus (G1)

2007-10-19T06:38:59Z

69.117.213.122: Added "Darth Sass" nickname.

:''Deathsaurus is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Victory]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Deathsaurus1.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Spell it right or you're kickbanned, buster.]]

'''Deathsaurus''' is a savage and cruel dictator, yet he's oddly fond of [[human]] children.

The Decepticon [[Emperor of Destruction]], he bears a bitter grudge against [[Autobot]] [[Supreme Commander]], [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]]. He prefers to lead his warriors from a distance, though engages in battle when necessary. Much like a Bond villain, he'll gladly tell you his plan before leaving you unsupervised in a delayed-result death trap. That said, he is ferociously powerful, and has come disturbingly close to victory on several occasions. He even pulled the trigger in an attack that would have killed a helpless Star Saber, only to find he'd transfered too much energy to his fortress and the damn gun didn't work. The gun's designer was later found impaled on a church spire.

He commands the [[Decepticon Space City]]. Deathsaurus is a [[Breastforce]] warrior, meaning he has two detachable breastplates which can transform into the [[Tigerbreast]] and [[Eaglebreast]], respectively.

:''Japanese name'': '''Deszaras''' (デスザラス, de-su-za-ra-su)
:''English-Malay dub name'': '''Deathsanras'''

==Fiction==
===''Victory'' (animated)===
'''Voice actor:''' ''[[Takeshi Aono]] (Japan)''

Years ago, striving to become the Decepticons' new [[Emperor of Destruction]], Deathsaurus created a gigantic battle fortress capable of destroying planets, but an attack by the young [[Autobot]] commander [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]] saw the fortress de-powered and trapped within a region of space known as the [[Dark Nebula]]. This began the enmity between Star Saber and Deathsaurus, and as both combatants rose through the ranks of their respective armies, Deathsaurus vowed to eventually liberate his fortress and use it to destroy Star Saber.

[[Image:Deszaras1.jpg|left|thumb|Only way I could be more evil would be with a twisty [[Mustache Man|mustache]].]]

After the conclusion of the [[Masterforce|Masterforce war]] on Earth, Deathsaurus set his sights on the planet's vast energy sources, and, from his command post on the Decepticons' starcraft the [[Thunder Arrow]], he directed his troops, the [[Breastforce]] and [[Dinoforce]] in attacks on the planet. Deathsaurus rarely dirtied his own hands, entering battle only rarely, and only when there was a chance that he could confront Star Saber directly, such as there was when he led the Breastforce in raiding the electrical energy of American subway systems. This led him to be the object of great contempt from Breastforce sub-leader [[Leozack]], who schemed against Deathsaurus, but systematically failed to succeed in his numerous ploys, either as a result of his own incompetence or the counter-scheming of his subordinate, [[Hellbat]], who sought to overthrow both him and Deathsaurus. Deathsaurus was no fool, however, and remained perpetually aware of Leozack's plans - when the time came, he thrashed the Breastforcer in combat and forced him to swear utter loyalty to him.

[[Image:DeathsaurusAnime1.jpg|right|thumb|Form Blazing Sword!]]

While Star Saber was on the planet [[Micro]], Deathsaurus returned to the Dark Nebula to investigate the possibility of reactivating his fortress; he did not have enough energy, but was at least able to confirm that the fortress was in functional order and could be reactivated when the time came. Unfortunately for him, having expended what energy he had to confirm this, he was unable to finish Star Saber when he engaged him in battle in space on the return trip. Later, back on Earth, Deathsaurus lured Star Saber into a trap in the desert, where he attacked with the power of the Living Metal-Destroying Cannon.

The weapon almost finished Star Saber off until [[Ginrai|God Ginrai]] intervened and was left at death's door instead, but when he was reconstructed as [[Victory Leo]] and combined with Star Saber to form [[Victory Saber]], they were able to thwart Deathsaurus's plan to bombard Earth with asteroids.

[[Image:Deszaras2.jpg|left|thumb|What is he overcompensating for, we wonder.]]

Discovering that the sunken continent of [[Atlantis]] contained enough raw energy to re-energize his fortress, Deathsaurus ransacked the ancient ruins and abandoned the Dinosaur Force to their fate as the Thunder Arrow shot off into space to fulfil his evil plan. With the fortress active and headed directly for Earth, even Victory Saber could not stand up to its power, but a resentful Dinosaur Force supplied information on the fortress's weak spot to Star Saber's adopted human son, [[Jan]], who used his own [[Illumina II|personal mech]] to enter the fortress and strike and this vulnerability. As he did so, Deathsaurus and Star Saber engaged in a vicious battle, during which Deathsaurus lost an eye, and was eventually stopped when Star Saber broke his sword off in the villain's chest. Gushing fuel and fluid, Deathsaurus vowed to have the last laugh as he set the crippled fortress on a collision course with Earth, and blew himself out an airlock, vowing to return again and again. But, as his body drifted off into space, no sign of life was visible from the conquered emperor. Victory Saber subsequently destroyed the fortress, but Deathsaurus was not heard from again.

===''Victory'' (manga)===
[[Image:Kingsaurus.jpg|right|thumb|The mighty King Zaras. Mighty.]]

As a parallel to Star Saber's adoption of [[Jan Minakaze|Jan]], Deathsaurus had a "son" of his own, a human boy named [[Solon]]. Solon's mother was killed during a Decepticon attack on Earth, and who Deathsaurus "adopted", turning him into a cyborg and raising him to believe that he was his son. Solon had frequent clashes with Jan, whose school he began attending, which often degenerated into "my dad can beat up your dad"-style arguments as their "fathers" battled. At one point, Deathsaurus even attempted to bribe Jan into joining the Decepticons with toys, games, candy and cash.

Solon had his own battle armour and often rode Deathsaurus's Breastars as steeds, but when Victory Leo and Star Saber merged into Victory Saber, Deathsaurus sought a way to increase his own power in a similar fashion and crafted a Transformer-sized mech for Solon named [[King Solon]], with which he was able to combine, forming [[King Zaras]]. However, in the midst of this battle, Solon discovered the truth about his mother, and his distraction allowed Victory Saber to destroy the King Solon mecha. Deathsaurus fled, abandoning Solon, who accepted his earthly heritage and joined the Autobots.

During the final battle, as Deathsaurus's fortress attacks the Earth, it is he who battles Star Saber in space ''(unlike the animated series, in which Liokaiser takes this role)''. Leozack, then, is able to take his treachery to the ultimate extreme by turning the fortress's power on Deathsaurus, and Deathsaurus cripples the craft with his cannon as Star Saber takes Leozack down. Then, the wounded Deathsaurus reveals the true reason he has quested to liberate the fortress from the Dark Nebula - it is home to the Decepticons' families and civilians. As the shocked Autobots discover this, they meet Deathsaurus's wife, [[Esmeryl]] and Deathsaurus and Star Saber then make peace, shaking hands and vowing to work together for the betterment of the Transformer race.

===''Timelines: Descent into Evil'' comic===
[[Image:Deathsaurustimelines.jpg|left|thumb|Deathsaurus orchestrates the rise of a New Decepticon Empire, or NAMBLA.]]

Using a clone lab on [[Ceti Alpha Seven]], Deathsaurus wished to revive the fading Decepticon Empire with a vast [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] army. After the first batch of [[Virulent Clone|clones]] was completed, his operation was interrupted by a team of [[Autobot]] commandos under the command of [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]. Deathsaurus overpowered and captured the first wave himself, and soon faced Ironhide one-on-one, while [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] attempted to rescue the fallen Autobots. Due to the assistance of Tripredacus Agent [[Flamewar]], these two were defeated and captured as well.

They woke up bound inside Deathsaurus' clone lab. The Emperor of Destruction appeared on a television screen, declaring that his use for the lab was completed and was prepared to detonate it remotely with the Autobots inside. Unfortunately for Deathsaurus, the Autobot espionage agent [[Ricochet (Timelines)|Ricochet]] not only freed the Autobots before the explosion occurred, but also seeded the remaining clones with a virus, leaving Deathsaurus with nothing to show for his work.

* '''Deszaras''' (1989)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-336'''

: The original Deathsaurus toy transformed into a non-descript dragon lizard thing with wings (or giant mutant space chicken) that doesn't really look like anything except ugly. His chest compartment contained two ''Breastforce'' components, Tigerbreast and Eaglebreast that transform into their animal namesakes, and can further transform into Targetmaster-style gun modes. Unusually for late G1 toys, he has [[die-cast]]-metal feet in beast mode.

: In robot mode, both of his breast components can be slotted inside his spring-loaded chest to form his elaborate torso armor. He is armed with a light blue laser rifle (that is considerably more threatening in the television series), and a large shield constructed out of his tail.

* '''Deathsaurus''' (Descent Into Evil Multi-pack, 2005)

[[Image:Deathsaurusbotcontoy.jpg|left|thumb|If you squint, he could still be [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]].]]

: Part of the [[BotCon 2005]] preregistrant ''Descent into Evil'' boxset, Deathsaurus was a blue and black [[retool]] of ''[[Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron/Galvatron]]. [[Image:Deathsauruspin.jpg|right|thumb|75px|If you squint, maybe you need glasses.]] His head was a new sculpt based on Deathsaurus' appearance in the ''Victory'' anime (though Deathsaurus's face seems to be copied from Megatron's). Deathsaurus' mold was originally a ten-changer, though the "gargoyle"/bat mode was neutered for this release due to the dropping of the bat snout piece. His tail-piece was removed for in-box storage.

: The first 100 BotCon 2005 Primus-package preregistrants received an exclusive Deathsaurus pin.

==Merchandise==
===Super Figure Collection===
* '''Deszaras''' (2002)
[[Image:SFCAct7Deszaras.jpg|right|thumb|100px]]

: Deathsaurus was released in Act 7 of the Takara [[Super Collection Figure]] line as a non-transforming PVC with a funky pose and limited posability. Two pieces came per case of 12 PVCs, one in full-color and one in pewter-finish.

: A limited chase version (shown here) features his inner Breastforce member, Eaglebreast, rather than the normal version's Tigerbreast.

==Trivia==
*Deathsaurus's name is the source of a long-lasting arguments. The phoenetic Japanese reading of the name is: "De-su-za-ra-su". This is represented in English on his toy packaging and tech specs as "Deszaras." English-speaking fans would long debate the "proper" Romanisation of the name, interpreting it as Deszaras, Deathsaurus, Death Czarus, Def Zarce, Deaths 'R' Us, Debt Source, Darth Sass, Death's Arse and god knows what else. "Deathsaurus" had a tendency to be the most popular and well-known (on account of it actually ''meaning'' something), which led to it being used on the character's first official Western toy, making it his official American name. However, it is unlikely that this was supposed to be the actual name for the character - were his name "saurus", then it would be would be rendered as "za-u-ru-su" in Japanese, rather than "za-ra-su" - and that his name was genuinely intended to be the nonsense word, "Deszaras." The character appears with the "Deszaras" name on the R2 ''Transformers: Victory'' DVD boxset.

*His japanese name (Deszaras) is spelled really close to the Hungarian phrase for "So Sh*tty". This caused a lot of joy in the Hungarian fan community.

*While often called a dragon or occasionally a griffin (or a giant chicken), Deathsaurus is most likely styled after traditional Japanese "kaiju", such as [[Godzilla]] or Rodan.

*In Dreamwave's Transformers G1 (Ongoing) #10, Deathsaurus was seen as a statue representing an ancient transformer, together with [[Dai Atlas]]. {{Storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

* The original Deathsaurus mold was redecoed and [[retool]]ed into the non-living "Red Geist" mech for [[Takara]]'s ''Brave Of Legend Da Garn'' toyline. This version lacked the Eaglebreast partner, however.

Enemy (G1)

2007-07-27T05:44:15Z

69.117.213.122: /* Trivia */

:''Enemy is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Enemy.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Not to be confused with [[Cobra]], the Enemy.]]
'''Enemy''' is one who feels hatred toward, intends injury to, or opposes the interests of another; a foe. He is a hostile power or force, or possibly something destructive or injurious in his effects.

For example, if one were not to want to sound like a robot, Enemy would, counter to this one's desires, change this being's voice into sounding like that of a robot's. And he would do this with only one part of his body; nay, the only part of his body he has.

He is a bastard. Perhaps, even, a nemesis.

==Fiction==
===Dreamwave comics continuity===
[[Image:Enemytww.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Could it be? Is it he?]]
While [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] lead most of the Decepticon army into [[Iacon]], several of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s troops snuck into [[Kolkular]] to end [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s plan to transform [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] into a spacefaring warship. Enemy, the [[Constructicon]]s, [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]], and others countered the Autobots when they were discovered. {{storylink|The War Within, Part 5}}

''(Note: It's possible that Enemy was merely a miscolored [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] or [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]], even though ''The War Within'' didn't shy away from using Microchange or Diaclone versions of toys as characters.)''

==Merchandise==

*'''Enemy''' (AM Radio and Headset)
:Enemy first appeared in 1984 as part of a working AM radio & headset, a piece of merchandise made by Nasta under the "Power Tronic" imprimatur. Featuring a large wearable Decepticon symbol belt-clip, removing this item revealed Enemy, a solid red (with blue thighs and upper arms) simplification of the [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]]/[[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] mould. Permanently attached to the radio, Enemy could not be removed without breakage, but could neverthless transform in situ.

*'''Enemy''' (voice changer)
:Enemy was given life again the following year when Nasta released a voice-changer in 1985. A large disembodied head, Enemy again looked like a red [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]]/[[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]], but this time with proper silver face detailing. If a kid talked into a headset that plugged into Enemy's noggin, his voice would be modified to sound robotic. Enemy came with a belt clip, power pack, headset with built-in microphone, and ran on a single 9 volt battery (not included).

==Trivia==
[[Image:Enemymicrochange.jpg|right|thumb|75px|Get on it, [[E-Hobby]].]]
* MC-01 Micross (Red) was a red cassettebot in [[Microchange]] which could retroactively be considered a version of Enemy. We like to think so, anyway.
*Enemy is awesome.
*Enemy is three times faster than most cassettebots.
*Enemy can eat three phone books in under seventeen seconds.
