The '''Vok''' were mysterious energy-based alien creatures who developed prehistoric Earth towards their own designs. The Vok were dedicated to "the Project", which consisted of enigmatic, sometimes contradictory plans for the planet. As a result of these experiments, there were a number of anomalies on the Earth, including [[Flying Island|several floating landmasses]], a [[Standing Stones|mysterious stone formation]], and a [[Planet Buster|hollowed-out moon]].

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
====''Beast Wars''====
:''Voice actors:'' [[Blu Mankuma]] and [[Richard Newman]] (US), [[Hidetoshi Nakamura]] (Japan)

Their experiments were irreparably wrecked as a result of the [[Beast Wars]]. The Vok decided to cut their losses by revealing the nature of the second moon: An immense cannon designed to destroy the planet! [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] sacrificed himself in order to destroy the [[Planet Buster]].

As a result of the Planet Buster's explosion, a [[Quantum surge]] was released. The surge caused a mutation in several of the Transformers (notably, [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] and [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]]) turning them into [[Transmetal]]s. The destruction of the Planet Buster also released a [[Transwarp wave]] that traveled through space and time, eventually reaching [[Cybertron]] in the era from which the main characters originated.

Later in the series, the Vok made several other attempts to wipe out the Transformers, notably a second weapon which appeared on the planet (sometimes referred to as the Metal Hunter) and the abduction of the [[Maximal]]s [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] and [[Tigatron (BW)|Tigatron]].

Near the end of the Beast Wars, the Vok sent an emissary, [[Tigerhawk (BW)|Tigerhawk]] (a newly created fusion of Airazor and Tigatron), to Earth to deal with Megatron's disruption of the timestream. Tigerhawk was able to destroy the [[Darkside|Predacon base]], but was eventually subdued and captured by Tarantulas. Tarantulas was able to draw the Vok out of Tigerhawk's frame and into his own, but this lead to his own destruction...

==== ''Primeval Dawn'' comic ====
...and subsequent Vok-powered rebirth.

Now established as the enlightened descendents of [[Swarm]], the Vok's goal in guiding Earth's development was to atone for their shameful and destructive past. Knowing that Tarantulas had stolen their own power for his evil plans, the Vok turned to the Ark, creating [[Primal Prime]] (from [[Matrix of Leadership|The Matrix]], a [[Datasphere]] and Quickstrike's control harness) and restoring the sparks of Airazor and Tigatron to separate Transmetal bodies, hoping they could defeat Tarantulas. Later when lost the Matrix to the zombified-arachnid they merged themselves with Primal Prime in order to provide a temporary substitute to the Matrix. Primal Prime gained a snazzy new Vok-shaped breastplate out of the deal.

''The ending of this story was long promised but not yet delivered when 3H lost the license.''

==Notes==
===Origin controversy===

In the course of writing the ''Beast Wars'' television show, the co-story editors had conflicting ideas on who the Vok were. [[Bob Forward]] liked to imagine the Vok as the evolutionary endpoint of all sentient life in the universe, shaping the development of other races in order to eventually guide them into becoming Vok themselves. [[Larry DiTillio]] wanted to link the Vok to The Swarm, who, in his version of the events of the Generation Two comic book, had completely wiped out humanity and wished to atone for their crimes. Neither origin made it into the television show before it completed.

Ultimately, the Vok origin was published as backstory for OTFCC's Primeval Dawn storyline.

===Motivations===
The [[Beast Wars Universe]] book says that the Vok's experiments on Earth were part of an attempt to further evolve humanity, as the Vok had destroyed the human race while the Swarm. It states that the [[Energon crystal]]s were seeded so that they would become [[Energon cube]]s by the time humanity came about, which would give them a reliable fuel source which wouldn't harm the environment, as Energon actually provided nutriets to the soil of the planets and didn't harm the animals. The Vok also attempted to play the role of God for humans, intending to guide their development and reveal their true nature once the Vok felt they were ready. It also states that the Vok had been forced to destroy Earth several times before the events of [[Other Voices, Part 2]], all the while subtly manipulating the timestream after they did.<ref>[http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~sstoneb/tf/tidbits/vok.txt Translated section from Beast Wars universe]</ref> The canonicity of these claims are currently being debated, but one thing is for sure: old habits die hard.

Planet Buster

2007-10-08T20:27:45Z

70.126.222.245: Restored funnier caption

[[Image:Planetbuster.jpg|thumbnail|right|300px|Pretty much the last thing you'd want to see out your window. And, conventiently enough, probably the last thing you would.]]

The '''Planet Buster''' is a cannon the size of a moon, used by the [[Vok]] aliens in an attempt to destroy the prehistoric Earth.

After the [[Flying Island]] was destroyed in a battle against the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] forces, a beacon was sent to the Vok. Receiving this beacon, the Vok returned to the Earth and were quite displeased to see that the Beast Wars had completely wrecked their "project". Deeming the entire planet to now be a liability, the Vok revealed their magnum opus: a "termination sequence" that transformed the planet's hollow second moon into a massive weapon.

The Vok attempted to use this cannon (which [[Rattrap]] later dubbed "The Planet Buster") to ignite every [[energon]] deposit on the planet, resulting in an explosion powerful enough to destroy the planet itself!

As the alien device charged up, receiving power from an alien site on the planet, the power beam somehow caused the orbiting [[stasis pod|stasis pods]] to fall out of orbit.

In order to destroy the weapon, [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus]] confiscated a customized [[stasis pod]], which [[Tarantulas]] and [[Blackarachnia]] had rebuilt as a means to escape from the planet, and rigged its [[transwarp cell]] with an explosive charge.

Optimus' plan was to fly the Pod into the core of the Planet Buster, where the transwarp cell would explode, taking the alien construct with it. Unfortunately, the Pod itself was a trap, set by [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], revealed to Optimus when he was unable to exit the pod and escape from the imminent explosion. The plan to destroy the Planet Buster succeeded, but cost the Maximals their leader.

As an unforeseen development, the destruction of the Planet Buster created a massive [[quantum surge]]. This surge mutated several Transformers into [[Transmetal]]s and damaged the stasis pods of others, resulting in the [[Fuzor]]s and [[Transmutate]]. The destruction of the stasis pod's transwarp cell also created a [[transwarp wave]] which traveled across space and time, eventually reaching a Predacon outpost in the "present" time of the Beast Era, the time from which the Beast Warriors hailed. Upon intercepting this wave, the [[Tripredacus Council]] sent [[Ravage (G1)|an agent]] to investigate.

Blaster (G1)

2007-10-01T21:32:07Z

70.126.222.245: He is drawn like his Action Master figure, just as Prime and Megs are. That's why New Year's Convoy came with Prime Action Master.

:''Blaster is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]]. In Japan he is later rebuilt as '''Twincast'''.''

[[Image:Blaster g1.jpg|thumb|300px|"What it is, big mama? My mama no raise no dummies. I dug her rap!"]]

'''Blaster''' loves all [[Earth]] music, especially good, hard, LOUD Rock'n'Roll. A powerful fighter who tends to make his presence known, you can find him at the forefront of any situation he's involved in.

''('''Note''': Blaster's personality varied signifigantly between the comic and cartoon, see entries below for details.)''

:''Malay-English dub name'': '''Billy''' (Blaster), '''Blaster''' (Twincast)<br>
:''Japanese names'': '''Broadcast''' / '''Twincast''' / '''Broadblast'''<br>
:''Italian name'': '''Radiorobot''' (Blaster), '''Digital''' (Twincast) <br>
:''French-Canadian name'': '''Tempo'''

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Generation 1====
''(Note: Events from the UK-only comic stories are in italics.)''

[[Image:BlasterUS17.jpg|left|thumb|200px|More than likely, he'll kill you. Yeah, '''you'''. You know who you are.]]

''"War is dirty, violent, and mean. I don't want your company or your friendship, just your help in blasting those [[Decepticon]] rust-buckets into hot, burning slag."''

Blaster was a rather grim, brooding, rebellious loner and one of the best, kick-@$$ fighters the [[Autobot]]s had. He had a bit of a problem with authority and hated Decepticons with a passion due to the death of his former partner [[Scrounge]]. Originally part of [[Perceptor]]'s Autobot resistance cell on Cybertron, he often disagreed with his superior's orders.

Shortly after Scrounge was killed, Blaster took part in an assault on [[Darkmount]], where he engaged and seemingly destroyed the Decepticon commander [[Straxus]], before using the [[Space Bridge]] to flee to Earth. {{storylink|The Bridge to Nowhere!}}

Upon arriving on Earth, Blaster was among the Autobots deactivated and disassembled by [[Circuit Breaker]] and [[RAAT]]. {{storylink|Heavy Traffic}}

He was later released and joined the other earthbound Autobots at the Ark, shortly before Optimus Prime's death. Blaster was one of the Autobots who voted for [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] to be leader of the Autobots, however he soon came to regret this decision. {{storylink|King of the Hill!}}

Blaster developed a reluctant friendship with [[Bumblebee (G1)|Goldbug]] whose more naturally upbeat personality provided the Boy-Wonder to his Batman. After an encounter with [[Mechanic|The Mechanic]], Blaster and Goldbug went AWOL from Grimlock's command, having grown tired of his aggressive orders and increasing mental instabilities. {{storylink|Mechanical Difficulties!}}

For this disobedience (and their failure to capture The Mechanic), Grimlock branded Blaster and Goldbug traitors, and sent the [[Protectobots]] to hunt them down. They eventually captured Blaster, but after he saved their lives from the [[Combaticons]], they realized Grimlock's orders were purely vengeful and let him go. {{storylink|Used Autobots}} {{storylink|Child's Play (comic issue)|Child's Play}}

[[Image:Blasterbeourleaderplease.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"BLASTER BE OUR LEADER PLEAAAASE???"]]

Blaster finally returned to the Ark, where his fellow Autobots begged him to take over as leader. However, he was forced to surrender to his former commander when Grimlock threatened the safety of several earth children. {{storylink|Spacehikers!}}

Imprisoned by Grimlock, Blaster was strapped to a [[Variable Voltage Harness]] as punishment for his desertion and disobedience. However, when [[Fortress Maximus]] and his Autobots arrived and Grimlock challenged him to a duel, Blaster took his place. Their duel was interrupted by a Decepticon attack. When Blaster pointed out that their feud had put all Autobots in danger, Grimlock agreed to call their duel a draw and declared a truce with Blaster as they fended off the Decepticons side-by-side. {{storylink|Totalled!|Totaled!}}

Like many other Transformers, Blaster was killed fighting Starscream at the climax of the [[Underbase]] storyline, shot dead atop the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. {{storylink|Dark Star}}

Blaster was later among the first Autobots resurrected by Grimlock with [[Nucleon]]. He took part in and survived the battle with Unicron. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}

Blaster was one of the few Autobots present to survive the initial Decepticon ambush on [[Klo]]. {{Storylink|End of the Road! (Marvel US comic)|End of the Road!}}

''In the future of 2008, Blaster was present at Autobot City when the Quintessons attacked. He was deactivated in the battle that followed and his body strung up from the battlements.'' {{storylink|Space Pirates}}

{{-}}

===Animated continuity===
:''Voice Actor:'' [[Buster Jones]] (US), [[Keiichi Nanba]] (Japan)

''Relax dude, chill a sec and enjoy the happenin' sounds of this premium Cybertronian sound system! Rock out!''<br>
Blaster in the cartoon was a fun-loving, hip and happening robot. Loud and energetic, and happy to share his choice of rockin' tunes with anyone, whether they really wanted to hear them or not.

Blaster appeared out of nowhere one day during [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]'s demonstration of the modifications he made to the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] to improve their sense of balance and coordination, and to that end Blaster was requested to play something 'nice'. For some reason, Blaster had trouble tuning into a station until Grimlock (obviously tired of this scene's padding) blasted fire at Blaster's controls, allowing the Autobot boombox to tune into the local Rock and Big Band Music Fusion station. [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], [[Trailbreaker]] and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sidewipe]] showed their appreciation for the fine selection of elevator music by jerkily dancing around and claiming their audio sensors were being fried. Blaster continued to enthrall Grimlock until [[Slag]] and [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] bumped into their leader and totally freaked him out. {{Storylink|Dinobot Island, Part 1}}

His loud music often got him into trouble, especially when he jammed emergency frequencies with bad 80's hair metal. Blaster and Cosmos eventually converted a deserted Decepticon headquarters on Earth's moon into an Autobot base, they were never shown to use it (it's possible the base they built was later used by [[Marissa Faireborn]] of the EDC).

Blaster had a rivalry with Decepticon tapedeck, [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]. The two clashed frequently, though they were most often shown to be evenly matched. In 2005, when the Decepticons ransacked [[Autobot City]], Soundwave attempted to jam Blaster's distress signal to Optimus Prime with his Cassette forces. Blaster countered with his own Cassette army, and the itty bitty guys 'rassled.

In 2006, Blaster was stationed most frequently at Autobot City on Earth. However, at one point in Transformer history best left forgotten, he traveled with the Autobots to another planet where he translated opera into English.

===Scramble City OVA===

Blaster was finally gifted with some Cassette forces of his own to counter Soundwave's. [[Steeljaw]] and [[Ramhorn]] took on [[Ratbat]] but couldn't protect the secrets of [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]].

===Headmasters cartoon===

Blaster's rivalry with Soundwave increased dramatically by the year 2011. At one point, when [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] was searching Earth for the [[Matrix]], he was ambushed by Soundwave. Blaster took Soundwave on alone, urging Hot Rod to leave without him. Soundwave and Blaster then prepared for their final duel. The result was a tie, sorta. They both died.

Later, all the Autobots were content to leave Blaster as a corpse until [[Daniel Witwicky|Daniel]] and Blaster's cassette forces whined enough to have their pal resurrected. Rodimus then brought Blaster back online as the yellow and blue repaint, '''Twincast'''. Coincidentilly, the Decepticons reanimated Soundwave as the black-as-coal Soundblaster. The two arch enemies then renewed their struggle.

After his revival, he also serves as the Autobots karaoke machine.

===Japanese Generation 2 story pages===
[[Image:BlasterG2.jpg|left|thumb|There's so much I don't understand about this image]]

Apparently, by the ''[[Generation 2]]'' era of the Transformers, Twincast returned to his original Blaster form. He can be seen behind [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] in the first Japanese ''Generation 2'' story page (Prime and Megatron having forged the [[Cybertron Alliance]]).

===Dreamwave comics===

Blaster and his partner Perceptor were co-leaders of an Autobot faction millions of years ago on Cybertron. While this faction may or may not have existed in the Dark Ages before Ultra Magnus unified the Autobots under his command, they were the only known resistance to Megatron's tyrannical rule during the Age of Internment that followed.

In modern times, Blaster allied himself with Hot Rod and Kup's underground resistance, opposing the new tyrannical rule of Shockwave.

Blaster seems to have a 'thing' against tyrannical rules.

At one point, he remarked that he couldn't wait to go to Earth. Ironically, [[Dreamwave]]'s bankruptcy meant he never got to go. Poor Blaster.

===Binaltech Asterisk===

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
* '''Blaster''' (Autobot, 1985/1986/2006)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''38''', '''TFC-21'''

: Originally a ''[[Microchange]]'' "Radi-Casse Robo" ("radio-cassette", you see), Blaster transforms into a "ghetto blaster" boom-box. Pressing the "eject" button pops open his tape door, which can store a single microcassette Transformer.

: Some releases of Blaster still retain the battery-cover back from the ''Microchange'' release (see Trivia).

: Blaster was re-released in 2006 as part of the "[[Transformers Collection]]" "bookbox" series, packaged with [[Steeljaw]].

* '''Twincast''' (Autobot, 1987/2006)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-116'''

: The first Blaster toy was [[redeco]]ed, and had its tape-door [[retool]]ed in order to accommodate two cassettes at once. The clear-plastic part of the door was also changed to clear-red, so when certain cassettes were placed inside, the "secret plans" decals on them would reveal the "weak point" of either [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] or [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], much like using the [[tech-specs decoder]]s. He came with Steeljaw, who was given one of these new decals.

: In 2006, Twincast was reissued as an [[e-Hobby]] [[exclusive]], this time packaged with the new character [[Flip Sides]].

*'''Blaster w/ Flight Pack''' (Action Master, 1990)

: A non-transforming action figure, [[Action Master]] Blaster (not to be confused with the "Action Master Blasters" price-point) is compatible with any other Action Master vehicle or accessory. His design is based largely on his cartoon model, with elements from the toy added (like his visor). He came with the "[[Flight Pack]]" accessory, which converts from a winged jetpack to a massive "electro-scrambler" cannon.

===Binaltech Asterisk===
*'''Broadblast meets Lumina''' (Binaltech, 2005)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''BTA03'''

: A redeco of ''[[Alternators]]'' [[Skids (G1)|Skids]], "Broadblast" transforms into a 1:24 scale Toyota bB, aka the Scion xB. He has working doors, hood, and trunk, plus his engine becomes a non-firing weapon. He also comes with an extra decal sheet, which includes signs for "TBN" which ''possibly'' stands for "Transformers Broadcast Network" or somesuch; there is Japanese text on the labels as well, but it's really tiny and hard to make out.

: He came with a PVC-plastic figurine of the [[human]] newsgirl [[Lumina Hoshi]].

===Attacktix===
*'''Blaster'''

===Merchandise===

==Trivia==
* The [[Pre-Transformer|pre-''Transformers'']] version of Blaster was actually a functioning AM radio. The ''[[Microchange]]'' release of the toy came with a microcassette-sized radio that plugged in to Radi-Casse Robo, which had internal wiring that allowed the radio to play through the speakers in its' legs. The speakers were powered by batteries housed in the robot's back, hence the battery cover on early Blasters. The big hole in his Electro-Scrambler rifle is an earphone storage space, and the cord can be wrapped around the gun.

* According to [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] on a [[Letters Page (Marvel UK)|Letters Page]], Blaster's visor is retractable. He uses it to shield his especially delicate optical sensors from sunlight.

* The packaging for Twincast's e-Hobby reissue was the same generic [[Decepticon]]-scheme box used to package [[Magnificus]]. However, since Flip Sides is technically a Decepticon, it...sorta works.

*According to Blaster himself on the UK letters page he has two siblings: [[Toaster (G1)|Toaster]] and [[Karmen]].

[[Image:Raoul1.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Ey, chew can't puch me 'round like dat, mang!]]

'''Raoul''' (spelled '''Raul''' by some fans) is a break-dancing street punk carjacker with a bandana, a mullet-ponytail, a rhinestone-studded leather jacket and a heart of gold.

Man, the 80's ''sucked''.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon===

Raoul mistook [[Tracks]] for an ordinary car that he attempted to steal, but then helped Tracks thwart a [[Decepticon]] plot to invade [[New York City]] using remote control vehicles. {{storylink|Make Tracks}}

Raoul would run across Tracks and the Decepticons again, when he and his posse, the "[[Bop Crew]]", ended up in the middle of a Decepticon scheme that sought to brainwash humans into building... something... using the totally awesome tunes played in the nightclub [[Dancitron]]. (Those tunes being "[[Cold Slither]]" and big band music, because the Charleston was ''totally'' all the rage in the 80's.) {{storylink|Auto-Bop}}

==Trivia==
* In his second appearance in the show, Auto-Bop, his skin is a lighter shade than when he first appeared, in Make Tracks.

* The female character [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]] from the [[Transformers (2007)| 2007 live action film]] seems to be similar to him rather than [[Carly]].

Sector Seven

2007-10-01T01:27:01Z

70.126.222.245: /* Transformers (2007) */

{{disambig2|the Sector Seven organization itself|the alternate reality game based on it|Sector Seven (game)}}
:''Sector Seven is a [[human]] organization in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]]. It doesn't run on "feelings."''

[[Image:Sector7logo.png|thumb|"You guys have heard of Area 51? Well this is 50!" ]]

{{quote|We're the government. Sector Seven.}}{{quote|Never heard of it.}}{{quote|Never will.|Agent Simmons and Ron Witwicky}}

'''Sector Seven''' is a secret [[United States of America|American]] government agency, which deals with extraterrestrial technology and threats.

It is so secret, it has its own [http://www.sectorseven.org/ secret website].

''Sector Seven sometimes operates through the front company '''S7 Industries'''.''

==Fiction==

===sectorseven.org===

Sector Seven was founded over 100 years ago by a group of seven men:

*Stanford Julius Morehouse
*Edgar Thibedeau Westfield
*Neville Octavian Brewster
*Percy Emerson Whitting
*Wallace Wilson Clairmont
*Alistair Jennings Crowther
*Vance Milhaus Lawson

They are known as "The First Seven," and are said to have "hid the past to protect the future,"<ref>Names originally revealed via Agent X's website. Page mirrored [http://ebucehtdnif.wikibruce.com/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/317526-AE0/ here.] </ref> whatever that means. Their portraits adorn a wall in the lobby of the present day Sector Seven headquarters, as a [[B11-9981|local pizza boy]] can attest.

In 2007, after the detection of a "blip" that matched their "threat profile," Agent [[Alexander Powers]] informed the organization that war may be imminent and that they were humanity's only hope. He and research scientist [[Rebecca Howard]], ex-lovers, clashed several times over her desire to go public with information about the [[N.B.E.]] threat and seek assistance from other nations. This escalated with the detection of "N.B.E. Two," with whom Dr. Howard argued in favor of making contact.

Meanwhile, the mysterious [[Agent X]] began hacking into the Sector Seven network and leaking information to the public. {{storylink|Sector Seven (game)|Sector Seven ARG}}

=== IDW Movie Prequel comic ===

*Apparently, Sector Seven has been around for a very long time; certainly, an existing group has been around since before Sam Witwicky's Grandfather encountered the [[Megatron (Movie)|''Mega-Man'']] underneath the arctic ice. Upon hearing his story Sector Seven immediately went into action to seize his find and discredit the story.

*Interestingly, even this older version of Sector Seven has a number of interesting artifacts in their collection. These include pictures and a skull from a "triclops" life form of some kind, a severed bestial arm in a jar (possibly from a version of the Beast Wars, although the sketch is difficult to make out and mechanics may not be incorporated) and what could possibly be a fragment of the [[Golden Disk]]. Most intriguing indeed.

=== Ghosts of Yesterday novel ===

*'''1969''' - Sector Seven (headed by [[Walter Simmons]], known internally as "The Old Man"), attempted the first test flight of an [[Megatron (Movie)|Ice Man]]-derived spacecraft ([[Ghost 1]]) using the Apollo 11 moon launch as cover. Unexpected complications occurred following contact with [[NBE]]s. At the same time the first attempt was made to relocate the Ice Man himself from the Arctic to southern Nevada to be better studied alongside a likewise mysterious [[All Spark|"alien cube"]]. Signs seemed to point to Sector Seven begining to shift from being a secret U.S. military protocol to a non-military "black ops" program. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday}}

=== ''Transformers'' (2007) ===
A Sector Seven field team under Director [[Reggie Simmons]] headed to the [[Witwicky]] residence upon learning of [[Samuel James Witwicky]]'s [[Bumblebee (Movie)|living car]]. Taking Witiwcky and [[Mikaela Banes]] into custody, the field unit's convoy was ambushed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. Although they attempted to resist the [[Autobot]]s, [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] alone had more weapons then all of them, and [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] soon disarmed them. A backup team arrived to capture any of Autobots they could, but were only successful in capturing Bumblebee and the two teens.

Taken to Hoover Dam, Simmons and [[Tom Banachek]] showed the Teens, an army ranger unit, and [[John Keller|Defense Secretary Keller]] the frozen N.B.E.-01, who Sam Witwicky identified as Megatron, leader of the [[Decepticon]]s. However, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] arrived and destroyed their external power lines, while [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] sabotaged Megatron's stasis controls. With Megatron minutes away from thawing, Sam tried to convince Simmons to release Bumblebee, but Simmons was only convinced by [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]]...who put a gun to Simmons chest. However, Bumblebee, who had was constantly being doused with cryoblasts, nearly lashed out at Sector Seven, before Sam calmed him and took him to the All Spark. Beyond providing a small amount of soldiers to assist the ranger unit under Lennox, Sector Seven played no serious role in the Battle of [[Mission City]], which was mostly decided by the Autobots.

Sector Seven's time had come—and they had done nothing but make the situation worse, all their secret weapons being ineffective against the Decepticons, and having alienated the Autobots. Sector Seven was terminated in an effort to better cover up the existance of the [[Transformer]]s, but it may have been influenced by their loss of control over the situation.

==Equipment==
As an exceptionally well-funded secret government organisation, Sector Seven is at the cutting edge of human (or alien-derived) technology in their quest to better understand the Ice Man, the Cube, and to seek other N.B.E.s on Earth.

====Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit====
[[Image:Sectorsevenmobilecommandunit.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Nothing to see here. Move along.]]

To counter public suspicion and the information about the N.B.E.s leaked by Agent X, Sector Seven employed a [[Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit|mass disinformation program in the form of a road tour]] at various cinemas across America. Black Peterbilt cabover trucks pull large, armoured trailers containing sophisticated communications and scanning equipment, as well as a small cage for containing any [[Frenzy (Movie)|captured N.B.E.s]] assigned agents happen to find. However, the communications equipment aboard these trailers are frequently susceptible to displaying emergency communiques from Sector Seven Command showing a very well-edited and scored satellite video feed of an [[Scorponok (Movie)|alien robot attack]] in [[Qatar]], usually in the presence of ordinary civilians.

{{-}}

====M9-2 Harpoon Gun====
[[Image:M9-2_Harpoon_Gun.jpg|thumb|right|250px|After this, lets go shoot some baby seals.]]

The [[M9-2 Harpoon Gun]] is a weapon developed by Sector Seven, under the direction of [[Rebecca Howard]]. The intial protoype was completed in 2003. Featuring an armor-piercing projectile that weighs 21.2 kilograms, the weapon has a range of 55 meters with a muzzle velocity of 324 meters per second.

Primative by N.B.E. standards, the weapon is nevertheless effective at subduing non-hostile [[Bumblebee (Movie)|aliens]] and contain them for cryo-freezing.

{{-}}

====Pursuit van====
[[Image:Movie_SectorSeven_van.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Who took the doughnuts?]]

Once an N.B.E. has been located within range of Sector Seven field units, Mobile teams are sent out in pursuit vans to intercept and capture them (alive if possible). Equipped with the standard array of sophisticated communications equipment one comes to expect from Sector Seven, the vans are armed with a passenger-side M9-2 harpoon gun and generally carry a squad of troops armed with portable cryo-freezing units.

====AH-64 Apache attack helicopter====
[[Image:Movie_SectorSeven_Apache.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Airwolf in action.]]

Sector Seven uses modified [[Popular alternate modes (Earth vehicles)#AH-64 Apache copter|AH-64 Apache helicopters]] fitted with cryo-stasis rocket pods to capture N.B.E.s

{{-}}

====SUV====
[[Image:Movie_SectorSevenSUV_smash.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Damn this gas guzzler. Which I as an American have a right to own.]]

For operations within urban/suburban zones or for human targets, Sector Seven agents travel in custom black GMC Yukons. They do not hold up well to being lifted by their roofs by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|large N.B.E.s]], nor can they withstand [[electromagnetic pulse]]s.

One of these SUVs in the form of a Cadillac Escalade was hit by [[All Spark]] energy, and became the [[Decepticon]] [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]].

:''('''Note''': These SUVs also appear in [[Transformers The Game|the console version of the Transformers movie game]].)''

{{-}}

====Assault buggy====
[[Image:Movie_Sector7Buggy.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Not [[Beachcomber]].]]

Based upon the Chenowth Desert Patrol Vehicle (DPV) formerly used by the [[United States Military]], this all-purpose, high-speed recon and attack vehicle can be fitted with a standard M2 Browning .50 caliber machine gun or Sector Seven's specially-developed weapons, ranging from cryo-freezing cannons (though this requires cryo-tanks to be installed in the rear compartment) and to belt-fed automatic grenade launchers capable of firing armour-piercing sabot rounds.

One of these buggies was imbued with power from the All Spark, and became the [[Autobot]] [[Landmine (Movie)|Landmine]].

:''('''Note''': These buggies also appear in [[Transformers The Game|the console version of the Transformers movie game]].)''

{{-}}

====Sector Seven Drone====
These large treaded robots patrol the interior of [[Hoover Dam]] serving as security patrols. They are also found at certain military installations seemingly not in association with the secret agency. They are equipped with two powerful cannons.

Frenzy (Movie)

2007-10-01T01:23:37Z

70.126.222.245: We know who she is, her last name doesn't neccessarily need to be said a lot.

{{picsneeded|Toys!}}{{Template:Disambig3|Frenzy}}

:''Frenzy is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Movie frenzy.png|thumb|300px|"They are all laser-guided and I get CRAZY if you touch them!"]]

'''Frenzy''' is small, sneaky and... likes to keep up on current events. He's a hyper-articulated, hyper-''active'', sentient evil alien shape-changing robot from outer space that turns into various small electronics devices, depending on the situation at hand, and has a penchant for pantsing people. But he doesn't shrink ([[All Spark|because that would be unrealistic]]), so he's quite a good contortionist. He's not that tough without his head, and he loses it frequently. In short, he's a creepy little abomination, with an irritating habit of reading over people's shoulders and jibbering at lightning speeds in [[Cybertronian languages|his own tongue]] (not that we could understand him if he was talking slowly, but you get the idea).

He is neither [[FIBRIR|red nor blue]]. Despite being a Decepticon, his optics are blue, rather than being red. So maybe, FIBRIR can still be employed: Frenzy('s eyes) Is Blue, Rest Is Red

:''Working names'': '''Boombot''' (first), '''Soundwave''' (second), '''Soundbyte''' (third)

== Fiction ==

===''Ghosts of Yesterday'' novel===
Frenzy is the smallest member of the [[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]' crew. He likes to sneak-attack from behind Autobots while they're concentrating on his larger teammates. He doesn't fare well in this particular battle but is presumably repaired at some future point.

===Transformers the Game===
On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Frenzy was seen digging through the mangled and twitching chasis of a dead Autobot. It's unlikely he was digging through it to find the All Spark. Megatron nearly crushed him under his foot. It is likely he was annoyed with Frenzy.

Frenzy arrived in Tranquility to meet up with [[Barricade]] possessing information that Starscream said was vital. When Barricade attempted to link up with him, he discovered that Frenzy had been captured by [[Sector Seven|some armed humans]]. Frenzy was held captive in a small SUV (which seemed virtually indestructible) but Barricade eventually rescued him. Barricade later relayed to Starscream that Frenzy had discovered a lead on the All Spark...an artifact in the possession of a human named Sam.

Later, he served as Starscream's intelligence liason when the Decepticon's Acting-Commander was searching for [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]], jabbering away in his own language (A translation is NOT subtitled directly, with Frenzy being the only character to NOT speak English in the game. He just wants to be different...or annoying).

===''Transformers'' (2007) film===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Reno Wilson]] (English)

[[Image:Readingisfundamental.jpg|left|thumb|This is the only newspaper in the country that is not afraid to tell the truth: that everything is just fine.]]

A skittering little spaz, Frenzy smuggled himself aboard [[Air Force One]] disguised as a CD player boom-box. He made his way to the lower decks, carried by an [[Air Force One attendant|unsuspecting flight attendant]] who was on a vital mission to the storage area to "rustle up some Ding-Dongs" for the [[President of the United States#Transformers (2007)|President]]. Once left alone, he got into the server area, and began to simultaneously hack the national database and upload a virus, re-attempting the hack that [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] had tried at the [[SOCCENT Base]] in [[Qatar]] earlier. This attempt was discovered by government agent [[Maggie Madsen]], and the defense network was shut down in order to halt the hack. Frenzy was so pissed he slammed his head into the screen, but he got the virus uploaded, which would later shut down global communications, and got a little bit of info on what he was looking for.

He was discovered by Secret Service agents, who he quickly dispatched with his machineguns and disc-blade launcher before hiding away in boombox form again. When Air Force One landed, he escaped through the landing gear, slipping into the awaiting Decepticon [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. After flipping the military the bird and complaining about how the "stupid insects" shot at him, he informed Barricade of his new discovery: [[Archibald Witwicky|the Witwicky man]] who had suspiciously displayed knowledge of Cybetronian writing. After a quick web-search using Barricade's on-board police department laptop, Frenzy determined their next target... a human called "[[Sam Witwicky|LadiesMan217]]".

When Barricade was forced to go to robot mode in order to handle [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], he released Frenzy to chase the humans the [[Autobot]] was guarding. Frenzy managed to tackle his primary target and even managed to get his pants off him (kinky!), but [[Mikaela Banes|the other human]] attacked him with a power saw she'd found and cut his head off. To add insult to injury, Sam punted the Decepticon's head away. It was actually to Frenzy's benefit, however, as he landed not too far from Mikaela's purse, which had spilled when Bumblebee had dumped them out earlier. Still alive and ambulatory despite losing most of his body mass, he speared and scanned Mikaela's cell phone, changed his form to match it, and hid out in her purse.

Frenzy stayed hidden, watching the activities of the humans and Autobots until they were taken to [[Hoover Dam]]. Frenzy slipped away then... and fell off the side of the dam, landing painfully at the bottom. This did allow him to sneak into the secret [[Sector Seven]] operations hangar deep within the dam, where both the [[All Spark]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] had been kept for nearly a hundred years. He tapped into the All Spark's power to restore his body, and sent a signal to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], telling him that their prizes were here. As Starscream mobilized all the Decepticons on [[Earth]], Frenzy went and killed a few technicians, letting him screw with the cryo-stasis machines that kept Megatron entombed, while Starscream destroyed the powerlines outside, allowing the Decepticon leader to escape.

As Megatron and Starscream went to assist the rest of the Decepticons in securing the All Spark, Frenzy remained at the dam to tie up any loose ends. When [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons]], [[John Keller|Secretary Keller]], Maggie and [[Glen Whitmann]] ran to an ancient storage room to try and get a Morse Code message to the Air Force via shortwave radio, Frenzy followed. While Glen jury-rigged outdated machinery to send the messages, Simmons and Keller tried to shoot the diminutive Decepticon. Frenzy made it into the room via the air ducts, and sent a series of flying blades at the humans. One, however, ricocheted madly across the room, and took out most of Frenzy's head. With a muttered "oh shit", Frenzy collapsed.

:''('''Note''': How fatal this actually ''was'' to Frenzy is up for debate. Though presumably his remains would have been gathered up by remaining Sector Seven personnel and disposed of with the other defeated Decepticons, he is not seen again after the storeroom attack. Creepy little bastard could still be out there with the other un-accounted-for Decepticons Barricade and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], skittering away like mad.)''

== Toys ==
===Transformers (2007)===
*'''Barricade''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-02'''

: Included with the larger Deluxe Barricade is a very out-of-[[scale]] Frenzy (putting him somewhere around 7 feet tall) that folds up to become the larger 'Con's grill in both vehicle and robot mode. It is barely poseable and falls over as easily as Generation 1 [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]].

*'''Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter''' (Deluxe Multi-pack, 2007)

: This Wal-Mart [[exclusive]] deluxe package comes with an unaltered Bumblebee, Barricade and, by extension, Frenzy.

*'''Recon Barricade''' (Deluxe, 2007)

:This Frenzy is [[FIBRIR|blue!]] Coming with the Barricade [[redeco]], Frenzy similarly gets a new color scheme.

*'''Disc Launch Decepticon Frenzy''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_FAB_Frenzy.jpg|thumb|left|120px|Stupid insects made me look fat.]]

: Like most of the [[Fast Action Battler]] toys, this one is fairly inaccurate to the CGI model due to actually having to turn ''into'' something (which the CGI model was not designed to do). It does, however, feature a launching disk that ejects from its chest as a pressure-launched projectile. This version of Frenzy transforms into a two-speaker stereo CD/cassette/radio.

{{-}}

*'''Decepticon Frenzy''' (Robot Replicas, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_RobotReplica_Frenzy.jpg|thumb|right|150px|STOP, in the name of love]]

: The [[Robot Replicas]] non-Transforming action figure of Frenzy is considerably closer to the movie's CGI model, even having blue optics rather than the red of most of his other toys. His left forearm can be replaced with an alternate forearm in its machinegun configuration.

: Frenzy is unique among the Robot Replicas in a couple of ways. First, he is the only one that does ''not'' use the [[Revoltech]]-style joints, owing likely to the thinness of his limbs. Secondly, he is the only one with an "action feature" gimmick of sorts; he comes with a CD-blade accessory that stores in his chest, and pushing a button on his back pops it out. The disc does not shoot very far though, unless you really give the button a firm, swift whack, and even then, you're not gonna get much airtime on it.

*'''First Encounter''' (Screen Battles, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_ScreenBattles_SamMikaelaFrenzy.jpg|thumb|left|250px|I JUST WANT SOME PANTS. A DECENT PAIR OF PANTS!]]

: This Screen Battles pack features a largely unchanged Deluxe class Barricade figure, but the Frenzy accessory has been cast in black plastic to better blend in with Barricade's chest. The pack also comes with unposable figurines of Sam Witwicky in a running pose, a rather in-scale Frenzy menacing Sam, and Mikaela holding the power saw she uses to attack Frenzy. The set is packaged in a special window box with a diorama depicting the battle between Barricade and Bumblebee.

*'''Autobot Jazz vs Decepticon Frenzy''' (Robot Heroes, 2007)

: Released with ''[[Robot Heroes]]'' [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], this version of Frenzy is the most adorably goofy razor blade death robot you ever saw.

==Trivia==
* Frenzy is the only Decepticon in the movie whose whole robot mode was created as a real physical puppet for filming, used in certain shots aboard Air Force One. (They did make the lower half of frozen Megatron as a set piece, plus [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok's]] head and tail, but that's not quite the same thing.) He and Bumblebee are the only Transformers in the film to have full-body robot mode props.

* Extra pieces of the Frenzy puppet, specifically some fingers, were used to make the charred prop of the "dead" [[Nokia robot]].

* Along those lines, Frenzy's robot mode was designed without a ''specific'' alternate mode in mind. It was known he was going to be a boom-box, but the designers had to produce a robot mode before the make/model was finalized.

[[Image:Frenzystereo.jpg|right|thumb|150px|According to user reviews, Frenzy is terrible for XM.]]

* Frenzy transforms into a real on-the-market [http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5155669 GPX portable stereo]... in the movie, at least. You know you want one. (Although, his [[Fast Action Battler]] toy does not, and he's depicted in some storybooks as a more boxy made-up model.)

* According to his profile card, Frenzy weighs 110 kilograms (242.5 pounds). How much of that mass would be discernible to a human lifting his stereo mode remains unclear. However, a human did indeed carry his stereo mode without much effort in the movie.

* Frenzy (or at very least, a robot who looked ''just'' like him) was most certainly ''not'' in a cage in the back of the [[Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit]]. You were seeing things!; It was swamp gas!; No wait!, a weather balloon. But definitely ''not'' a robot alien from outer space!

* The hardcover Movie Guide written by [[Simon Furman]] describes Frenzy as "quiet" and "not very talkative". Wonder what his definition of "chatty" is?
[[Image:Frenzy com glu.png|thumb|130px|Reach out and touch someone]]
* Frenzy is the only Decepticon with blue optic lighting, though all of his released toys have them painted red. It's possible this was a late-ish change, as even the [[Transformers (Glu)|mobile game]] has him sporting red optics. Thanks for [[FIBRIR|continuing the debate]], [[Michael Bay]]!

* Despite the 'no size changing' rule for the movie, Frenzy does indeed change size when he takes the form of the way-too-expensive-for-a-girl-with-a-criminal-record Nokia 8800 Sirocco. Although this may be an optical illusion due to no part of Frenzy's body being designed to ACTUALLY change into something, and it was just his head, too.

Mikaela Banes

70.126.222.245:

: ''Mikaela is a [[human]] in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MikaelaBanes.jpg|right|thumb|250px||"D'ya car [[Breakdown|break down]]?" "Nope, the car just wanted a cigarette, so I pulled over... here's your sign."]]

'''Mikaela Banes''' is a high school student. A beauty with brains, a penchant for fixing cars, and looks strong enough to make [[Samuel James Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]] offer to "ride" her home in [[Bumblebee (Movie)|his new car]].

She does not seem to mind making out on top of an alien car while [[Autobot|other alien car]]s watch. Kinky.

She is not [[Carly]].

She's kinda like [[Raoul]] though.

==Fiction==
===''Transformers'' (2007 film)===

:''Actor:'' [[Megan Fox]] (English) [[Kanako Toujô]] (Japanese-language dub voice)

Mikaela learned how to fix cars from her father, a long-time car thief. When he couldn't find a babysitter, he'd bring young Mikaela along, and she learned his trade. She hides her automotive knowledge from her boyfriends, for fear that they will be insecure around a girl who knows more about cars than they do. She is also afraid of being thought "shallow," to which Sam awkwardly replies that he thinks that there is "more than meets the eye...with...you."

When [[Sector Seven]] forcibly detain Mikaela and Sam's family, [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons]] reveals that she has a police record and threatened her father's upcoming parole hearing. After the [[Autobot]]s rescue the pair, she confides to Sam that she has a record because she refused to turn her father over to the authorities. Sector Seven soon recapture both teenagers (along with Bumblebee) and are brought to [[Hoover Dam]]. Sam negotiates with Simmons and has her criminal record expunged as part of his reward for helping Sector Seven with the information he has about the Transformers.

During the [[Decepticon]] attack at [[Mission City]], Mikaela strapped the injured Bumblebee to an abandoned towtruck. Sam told her to get Bumblebee (and herself) away from the battle, but Mikaela, feeling guilty, decided go back. She drove the tow-truck backwards through the battle while Bumblebee shot at [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]], deactivating the Decepticon.

===Transformers: The Game===
:''Voice Actor: [[Megan Fox]]''

She totally understands the [[Megatron (Movie)|frozen nemesis]], [[All Spark|robot lifeforce]], and magic [[glasses]] parts, but she still has trouble understanding why the [[Bumblebee (Movie)|super scout]] turns into a beater. Women.

Tracks (G1)

2007-09-27T01:08:48Z

70.126.222.245: This phrase may cause conflicts with some people who have strong opinions about that subject. Remvoved only to prevent any "Oh yes there is!" bashing.

:''Tracks is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:tracksg1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Hi, I'm fabulous. And I'm TOTALLY not gay. Seriously.]]

'''Tracks''' is a little bit of a narcissist, according to his Autobot buddies, and it's hard for him to stay lighthearted and gay under such criticism. He attributes it to jealousy: few Autobots are so well-endowed with a sleek, muscular, and tastefully decorated sports car mode as his.

The truth is, Tracks' armament is considerable. In the wink of an eye, he can erect his hardened launcher shafts and deploy two flaming incendiary missiles. These projectiles are heat-seeking, seeking out warm Decepticon bodies and striking hard. With his long and powerful black-beam gun, which negates light, he strikes his enemies in the darkness. Whether defending [[San Francisco]] or displaying his trademark moves in [[Dancitron]], Tracks is one fantastically flamboyant fighter!

Tracks can even fly like a butterfly by deploying his secret, hidden wings from their protective closet.

He should be a dangerous opponent, but his concern with preserving his stylish appearance and poor ability to work with fellow Autobots hampers him. Often he simply cruises the metro area alone all night, looking for Decepticons worthy of his attentions. Tracks may not always get along with his friends, but he knows his enemies. He knows them very well indeed.

:''Hungarian name'': '''Vagány''' (meaning "Tough guy" or something like that)

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===

===Generation 1===

(Re?)constructed on Earth by [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] when the Autobots' forces were depleted, Tracks had his mind downloaded into a new body from a memory crystal. He only became involved in several missions before [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] assumed control of the Autobots and took the Ark back out into space and away from Earth. Tracks was later destroyed battling the combined Decepticon armies in the Underbase Saga. Either that, or Starscream killed him. {{Storylink|Dark Star!}}

:''('''Note''': Events in italics occurred only in the Marvel UK books.)''

''In the Earthforce timeline, Wheeljack was trying to revive Tracks, but Grimlock continued to secretly sabotage the process because he considered the vain Autobot worthless as a warrior. Grimlock not only failed to keep Tracks off-line, he also had to deal with Optimus Prime assigning the revived soldier to Earthforce duty.''{{Storylink|Makin' Tracks!}}

===Generation 2===

Tracks was operating out of Autobase on Earth after the Autobots began confronting the threat of the Cybertronian Empire. When Megatron agreed to join forces with Prime, Tracks began working closely with the Decepticon Rotor Force members [[Leadfoot]] and [[Manta Ray (G2)|Manta Ray]]. It's possible his friendship and influence had something to do with their interest in switching sides.

===Animated continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Michael McConnohie]] (USA), [[Shô Hayami]] (Japan)
[[Image:trackscruc2.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Radio killed the video star.]]

When San Francisco was threatened by an [[Asteroid bird alien|alien bird creature]], Tracks risked his life in battle to defend the city. {{Storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}

Tracks had two turns as the episode star in the second season of Transformers. In both episodes, [[Make Tracks]] and [[Auto-Bop]], a young street punk named [[Raoul]] was also featured as the [[Spike]] to Tracks' [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]].

Tracks was part of a responsive strike against a series of [[Stunticon]] raids on human compounds; he took to the air at one point, prompting [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] to remark that his flying car mode was "droll".{{storylink|Masquerade}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===

Tracks was an active member of the Autobot forces as far back as the days of [[Sentinel Prime]]. He served with the Autobots for several million years until the time of the [[Great Shutdown]]. Afterwards, he seemed to lapse into semi-retirement while other Autobots worked towards establishing a new unified Cybertronian government with the Decepticons. He eventually recognized the rotten core of their alliance with [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], though, and formed a resistance cell with [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]].

In robot mode, Tracks is armed with a long rifle that covers most of his lower arm, and the two white rocket launchers are now mounted above his head.

: The European version of Tracks by Milton Bradley was initially available in red, based on the original ''[[Diaclone]]'' color scheme. Due to poor sales, Hasbro decided to re-release Tracks in Europe, this time in his blue colors scheme. Because of this, the red MB version ended up being rather rare. <ref>[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=mb "Milton Bradley and the Transformers Red Tracks" at TF-1.com]</ref>

: Tracks was reissued by [[Takara]] in 2002 as part of their "book-box" [[Transformers Collection]] series. The following year [[Hasbro]] re-released him as part of the Toys "R" Us [[exclusive]] [[Commemorative Series]] V.

: This mold was used to make [[Road Rage]], an [[e-Hobby]] exclusive based on the red European version.

*'''Tracks with Basher''' (Action Master, 1991)
[[Image:AMTracks_toy.jpg|right|thumb|150px|As if ''I'' would be seen wearing ''that''.]]

: This version of Tracks was a European [[exclusive]], sculpted to resemble his cartoon appearances, but was inaccurately coloured. As with all Action Masters, he cannot transform, but is highly articulated by the standards of the time, and came with small tank partner named Basher who could transform to a minor degree. Basher formed a sort of battle helmet/ugly hat and backpack equipment, coloured in bright green and baby blue. ''Oy.''

===Alternators===
*'''Autobot Tracks''' (2004, 2006)
:''Alternator ID number:'' '''5'''
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-06'''
[[Image:BTTracks_toy.jpg|left|thumb|150px|You can colour me blue, you can colour me yellow, but I will still be that most excellent fellow.]]

: Tracks was first released in Japan under [[Takara]]'s ''[[Binaltech]]'' line, with a yellow paint job, but was later released in blue to match [[Hasbro]]'s ''[[Alternators]]'' release. Tracks transforms into a [[wikipedia:Chevrolet Corvette C5|Corvette Z06]] featuring open doors, hood and a realistic interior. Amusingly enough, his rocket launchers are stored next to the passenger and driver seats.

: In robot mode, Tracks greatly resembles his G1 self, though with one major difference; the roof of his actual car no longer forms the front of his chest. Instead, he has a pseudo-car roof chest piece that folds down. His large shoulder pads, formed from the rear halves of the car, give the impression of the wings his original toy had. He is armed with his double-barreled engine gun, two pairs of double-barreled slide-out wrist blasters, and two shoulder mounted rocket launchers, making him the most heavily armed Alternators toy.

: The main difference between the Japanese and US releases is that the Japanese Binaltech versions are constructed of die-cast metal for the majority of the car body panels, which are also fully painted. The blue version of Binaltech Tracks also came with a large reproduction of his original hood flame sticker. This sticker was eventually released with Hasbro's own Alternators [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]].

: This mold was [[retool]]ed to make ''Alternators'' [[Ravage (G1)|Battle Ravage]].

==Trivia==
*It is frequently joked amongst Transformers fans that Tracks is a homosexual, although the character has not actually demonstrated any romantic interest in other male characters. All his romantic interest was focused squarely on himself.

* Voice actor [[Michael McConnohie]] claims Tracks is not gay. He chose the voice of Thurston J. Howell III from ''Gilligan's Island'', played by [[wikipedia:Jim Backus|Jim Backus]], as the basis for Tracks' snooty voice and mannerisms. McConnohie refers to Tracks' manner of dialect as a "Harvard Lockjaw".

*Tracks appeared in one of five original Generation 1 [[public service announcements]], warning kids not to steal cars, even if it's just for joy-riding. He seems to have a ''thing'' for carjackers, that Tracks.

* In parts of Europe, Tracks was released in the Diaclone toy's red deco through Milton Bradley in 1985. Due to being a royal shelfwarmer, the toy was re-released in its proper Transformers colors through Hasbro a year later. It is possible Hasbro has originally planned for tracks to be released in Diaclone colors, as Tracks is red complete with the Diaclone hood stickers ("CS" instead of the Autobot sigil) on the 1985 back-of-the-box mural.<ref>[http://www.botchthecrab.com/galleryImage.asp?gallery=7&image=34 Back of the Box Art: 1985 - USA]</ref> Interestingly, the 1985 box-mural from Japan shows not only the red Tracks in the center, but another Tracks, this one in his Hasbro blue deco, in the upper right area.<ref>[http://www.botchthecrab.com/galleryImage.asp?gallery=7&image=35 Back of the Box Art: 1985 - Japan]</ref> Perhaps this indicates that there were plans to create more than one ''Transformers'' character from the Stingray mold, as had been done with many of the other Diaclone molds, that were unrealized.

* In recent years, toys sporting the name "Tracks" require an additional "Autobot" prefix for [[trademark]] reasons, hence making the official name "'''Autobot Tracks'''".

* Chevrolet initially denied Hasbro and Takara the license for the Z06 Corvette that was going to be released as part of the [[Alternators]] line. Thus, Hasbro and Takara came up with an auxiliary plan for Tracks, this time as another "well-known American sports car", a Dodge Viper. Eventually, though, Chevrolet had a change of mind and granted Hasbro and Takara the license for the Corvette design after all. As a result, the Viper mold was slightly redesigned, was given a new head sculpt and ultimately ended up as [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] instead (called "Side Swipe" for trademark reasons). Control drawings for the Viper as Tracks, sporting a Tracks head sculpt and a different transformation for the doors allowing them to more closely resemble Tracks' G1 wings, were depicted in the Japanese ''Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide'' book.

* Hasbro initially intended to release their ''Alternators'' toy in yellow, with a blue running change variant coming later down the line. However, problems with the interior parts shining through the yellow plastic encountered at the test shot stage prompted Hasbro to cancel the yellow version and instead release the toy in blue right away. Thus, the only yellow version of the mold is Takara's ''Binaltech'' release. Supposedly, yellow Hasbro Tracks never made it beyond the paint sample stage (a few pieces were leaked to the public), although there have been rumors that the yellow version was actually shipped out to stores and later recalled. Conveniently, anyone who claimed having seen the packaged toy in person was unable to take a photo as evidence. Thus, this rumor is considered to have similar credibility as the infamous "blue G1 [[Bluestreak]] in Hasbro packaging" myth.

* He's not gay. '''Seriously.''' We can't stress this enough.

Transformers: Classics

2007-09-27T00:54:28Z

70.126.222.245: Its called that on the US packaging

{{disambig3|Classics}}

[[Image:Classicslogo.jpg|center|300px]]

When the [[Transformers (2007)|live-action Transformers film]] was pushed back from November 2006 to July 2007, [[Hasbro]] needed to create a filler line to bridge the newly created gap in their product offerings. That bridge was a revisitation of the original ''[[Generation 1]]'' characters, dubbed '''''Classics'''''.

Later, [[Mini-Con]]s which were originally meant for the end of the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' line and ''Generation 1''-inspired ''Legends'' [[redeco]]es were also added to expand the line further.

Although no original animation or full-length comic fiction is planned for the line, the [[Fun Publications]] [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club (comic)|Official Transformers Fan Club Magazine comic]] will be utilizing the Classics in their 2007 story-arc and setting them in a continuation of the old Generation 1 [[Marvel Comics]] universe (A version of this universe that includes everything up until the end of the original Marvel run, but excludes the events of the [[Generation 2]] book that followed, taking things in a new direction instead.)

==Toyline==

*[[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] vs [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]: Battle for Autobot City (versus 2-pack, Target exclusive)
*[[Constructicon Devastator]] (Wal-Mart exclusive giftset)

===Miscellaneous===
*Optimus Prime (20th Anniversary redeco with talking base)
*[[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] with [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] and [[Ravage|Battle Ravage]] (Generation 1 reissue; uses the [[Soundblaster (G1)|Soundblaster]] version of the mold, which had a remolded door that can hold two cassettes.)
*Masterpiece Starscream (G1-colored redeco)

==What counts as ''Classics''?==
The ''Classics'' toyline is a little tricky to define because some of the items which one would think belong to it -- the Magnus/Skywarp two-pack for instance, which redecoes two ''Classics'' figures -- do not actually say "Classic" anywhere on their packaging. Even the toys that are definitely "real" ''Classics'' toys only have the word on one panel of their packaging as a prefix to their [[size class]] ("Classic Deluxe" or "Classic Voyager").

For simplicity, '''{{SITENAME}}''' is considering all toys that come in the ''Classics''-style packaging to be ''Classics'' toys, even if they do not self-identify as such. Those toys include:

*Prime vs. Megatron Ultimate Battle set
*Magnus vs. Skywarp Battle for Autobot City set
*20th Anniversary Prime redeco
*Mini-Cons (the Mini-Con sets have been referred to as ''Classics'' toys on Hasbro's website, but not on the packaging)

==Uncertain Future?==

Though response to the figures was very positive, ''Classics'' was created as a limited line to fill the shelves between ''Cybertron'' and the movie. With the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] toyline and the ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' series scheduled to follow it, the fate of the ''Classics'' line was uncertain.

The [[BotCon 2007]] exclusives capitalized on the popularity as the ''Classics'' universe but even that was not to be the end of things. Hasbro revealed at Botcon 2007 that a new incarnation of [[Universe (franchise)|''Transformers Universe'']] was in the works for Fall 2008 and would operate as a blanket line for their non-Animated product including a new line glossed as Classics 2.0.

==Classics 2.0==

Referred to as Classics 2.0 durring the Hasbro preview panel (it is unclear whether that title will make it onto the actual "Universe" figures), Hasbro announced bringing back ''Classics'' because of high fan support and to pick up the torch of realistic Earth vehicle designs from the ending Movie line. Hasbro said they were focusing primarily on characters who had realistic Earth alt-modes, were not represented in other current lines, and had high repaint potential. Concept art of [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] were shown (Same base mold with different heads and alternate chest transformations and weapons). Art of an updated Decepticon triple-changer [[Octane]] was also shown. Other characters mentioned as likely possibillities are Prowl, Jazz, Ironhide, and (non-repaint) Galvatron. Hasbro also revealed they would likely be adding the Ultra pricepoint to this line and had atleast one Decepticon in mind for it, though no info on who or any Autobots were revealed.

===Japanese exclusives===
While most Japanese toys were more or less identical to their Hasbro counterparts, down to the packaging which was simply given an additional sticker in Japanese, and various Japanese store exclusive toys were simply imported Hasbro toys which Takara didn't see commercially viable as mass releases, there were a few genuine Japanese exclusives.
*EZ Collection Bumblebee "scanning version" (a clear redeco of Legends Class [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], exclusively available with the August 2007 edition of ''Hyper Hobby'' magazine)
*Bumblebee "limited metallic color version" (a redeco of the first Deluxe Class [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] toy with a shiny gold metallic finish, exclusively available at Lawson stores)
*Protoform Optimus Prime "Fusion Cluster Edition" (a redeco of Deluxe Class Protoform [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] in "entry mode" colors, exclusively available at the C3xHobby Convention and later also from [[e-Hobby]])
*Protoform Starscream "Fusion Cluster Edition" (a redeco of Deluxe Class Protoform [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] in "entry mode" colors, exclusively available at the C3xHobby Convention and later also from [[e-Hobby]])

==Trivia==
*As of the Movie toyline, the "Ultra" pricepoint has been abolished. Whether this will continue to be the case for future lines remains to be seen, although Hasbro has stated a possible return to this pricepoint with Classics 2.0.

Show-accuracy

2007-09-26T19:55:53Z

70.126.222.245:

Transformers characters are frequently represented in multiple different media, ranging from plastic toys to animation to comic books. Their appearances frequently vary between these, leading many fans to select one version that represents the character's "real" appearance and rate others in terms of their similarity to this one. '''Show-accuracy''' is typically a toy's resemblance to the animation's depiction of the same character; conversely, '''toy-accuracy''' is a show character's degree of similarity to the corresponding toy.

In most cases, Transformers are designed as toys first, with animated and comic depictions being artists' interpretations of the toy designs. As such, for the most part it is toy-accuracy that has the most relevance to the production process. A notable exception to this rule is the Japanese release of ''[[Beast Machines]]'' as ''Beast Wars Returns'': the [[Beast Machines (cartoon)|cartoon]] had already been made, so to make the toys and cartoon match, it was far easier for [[Takara]] to simply produce the toys in different colors.

In early [[Generation 1|G1]] in particular, toy-accuracy and show-accuracy are both frequently very low, with the [[character model]]s differing greatly from the toys. Recently, however, the gap has narrowed, and [[Transformers: Cybertron|modern fictional appearances]] of Transformers are often nearly identical to the toys, including design oddities that probably wouldn't actually be on "real" Transformers.

In a few cases, G1 [[reissue]]s have been [[retool]]ed to enhance their resemblance to their animated counterparts.

William Lennox

2007-09-25T00:28:09Z

70.126.222.245: /* ''Transformers'' (2007 film) */

: ''William Lennox is a [[human]] in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:lennox-slide-shoot.jpg|right|thumb|250px|YOU DISHONOR MY FAMILY!!!]]

'''William Lennox''' is a Captain in the [[United States Military|United States Army Rangers]], stationed at [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]]. A young, yet capable officer, Lennox has the friendship and trust of the men under his command.

He has a [[Sarah Lennox|wife]] and a newborn daughter [[United States|back home]].

==Fiction==
===''Transformers'' (2007 film)===
:''Actor:'' [[Josh Duhamel]]

{{spoiler}}

[[Image:Movie_Lennox_Scorponoktail.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Yeah, real good work watching your commander's back, all you guys standin' in the background.]]

Returning back to SOCCENT after a mission behind enemy lines, Lennox's men discussed what they were going to do once they got home to the States. As usual, [[Jorge Figueroa|Fig]] talked about his mom's cooking in Spanish, [[Robert Epps|Epps]] commented that he'll never accept a dinner invitation to Fig's house and [[Sergeant Donnelly|Donnelly]] reminisced about flat beer, cold hot dogs and baseball on weekends. When asked about what he wanted to do, Lennox replied that he only wanted to hold his baby girl for the first time, to which his men teased him for his sappy sentiment.

After their CV-22 Ospreys touched down, Lennox was writing a report when local boy [[Mahfous]] visited him carrying a bag of water. Soon afterwards, he talked to his wife Sarah and their daughter on the satellite video phone. Lennox declared that their daughter was so cute that he just wanted to chew on her cheeks, and that they both made one good looking kid. To his delight, Sarah told him their girl has his laugh, though he wondered if she had merely farted. Around the same time as a [[Blackout (Movie)|mysterious MH-53 Pave Low]] helicopter had landed on the base, his connection to Sarah became distorted, and he tried to tell her that he'll be home soon as the transmission was cut.

Suddenly, the base was under attack as the helicopter somehow transformed into a giant robot. Leading his men and the boy Mahfous, they witnessed Epps nearly being crushed by the weapons platform before Fig saves him by firing a sabot from his grenade launcher into the 'chest' of the weapon. With Epps in tow, Lennox's unit escaped as the robot laid waste to SOCCENT, leaving no survivors.

The next morning, after making their way through the desert, the men discussed the past night's events, with Epps expressing his belief that the weapon, whatever it was, looked right back at him as he was taking its photograph. Lennox determined that no matter what, they had to get the information back to [[the Pentagon]], and asked Mahfous to lead them to his village where they could find a telephone line. Unknown to them, [[Scorponok (Movie)|a second robot]], a mechanical scorpion, was listening to their conversation and stalking them. As they neared the outskirts of the village, a metal spiked tail rose out of the sand and nearly killed Lennox when Epps fired at it, saving his life. Unfortunately, the giant scorpion killed top kick Donnelly and the men ran for their lives to relative cover of the villiage.

Ordering the men to form a defensive perimeter, Lennox followed Mahfous to his father [[Akram]]'s house, the latter of whom provided him with a cell phone. As the others fought off Scorponok, Lennox attempted to call for help from the Pentagon, but had more than a little trouble with the operator who demanded a credit card despite the life-and-death situation he was in. After successfully searching for Epps' credit card in one of the latter's many back pockets, Lennox successfully contacted the Pentagon, but not before the operator tried to get him to sign onto a Premium Plus World Service Gold Package. He'll never use that company again.

[[Image:Movie_LennoxEpps_backpockets.jpg|right|thumb|250px|10: LEFT CHEEK!
20: GOTO 10]]

The Pentagon sends in two A-10 Thunderbolt IIs from Strike Package Bravo, to which Lennox orders the men to laze the target for the the Air Force' radars to lock onto and fire upon. Unfortunately, the A-10s do no appreciable damage to the metal scorpion with Epps expressing disbelief that it could still be alive. Lennox suggested the biggest barrels the Air Force has: the 105 millimeter cannons of AC-130 Spectre gunship. This is signaled with a shout of "Bring the rain!", pounding Scorponok into the sand. As the dust settled, the scorpion got up and dived into the sand, but not before leaving part of its damaged tail behind. Lennox and Epps ran to check on Fig, who had been struck by one of the scorpion's missiles.

En-route back to the America, the team studies the tail they salvaged from the battle scene. As the analyst described that it seemed to be covered in a [[Self-regenerating molecular armor]], Lennox pointed out where a sabot round had burned right through. Turning to Epps' expertise, he asked if it was correct that sabot rounds had a 6000 degree magnesium burn, to which Epps said was true. As Lennox ordered Epps to tell command to load sabot rounds on all their gunships, the tail suddenly came to life and narrowly missed impaling them. Epps angrily berated the analyst for telling them it was dead, Lennox ordered them to strap the tail down, while concluding that the technology behind it was 'wicked'. Touching down at Nellis Air Force Base, no sooner had Lennox's men walked off the plane when [[Sector Seven|mysterious government agents]] pull up in black SUVs and order the Rangers to come with them.

After arriving at [[Hoover Dam]], he and his unit meet with Secretary of Defense [[John Keller]], and are taken to see [[Megatron (Movie)|the Iceman]]. After the Iceman began to thaw, Lennox and his unit headed for the armory, where they had a special on forty mm sabot rounds. When [[Samuel James Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]] asked [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons]] to free [[Bumblebee (Movie)|a good robot]], Simmons refuses to listen, until Lennox gets him to cooperate by putting a gun to his chest, resulting in a Mexican standoff between his unit and Sector Seven. Simmons ordered him to release him, but Lennox told Simmons he and his men don't take orders from people who don't exist. They won the standoff. Losing is really not an option for those guys. Lennox and his men subsequently escort Sam and the car to [[Mission City]], meeting [[Autobot|other good robot]]s en route.

After arriving in Mission City, they were attacked by a [[Seeker|fighter jet]] which [[Ironhide (Movie)|some truck]] called "[[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]". Later, [[Brawl (Movie)|a tank]] started shelling them, which the good robots totally triple teamed. Lennox and his men engaged the tank, but it just wouldn't die. Telling Sam to take the [[All Spark]] to a building to be evacuated, Lennox and his team engaged the tank thing, which began to overtake them. It was only with the help of the the [[Bumblebee (Movie)|the Camaro]] and [[Mikaela Banes|some girl]] that they were able to kill the thing.

Later, Lennox and his men went to assist [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] in his fight with Megatron. During the battle, that helicopter which attacked the base in Qatar arrived and went to help his boss. Lennox totally killed it dead by the time honored method of:

* Getting on a motorcycle
* Jumping off the motorcycle as it slams into the enemy
* Sliding under his opponent.
* Shooting them in the [[gearbox]] with sabot rounds until they are dead.
* Going "woo-hoo", "yee-ha", or another exclamation of success.

His final action in the battle of Mission City was to shoot a sabot round in the chest of Megatron, offering an opening to Sam to ram the Allspark in his chest, thus allowing the victory.

After the deaths of the [[Decepticon]]s, [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] gave him a ride home, where he was reunited with his wife and met his newborn daughter. It is unknown if he planned to remain with Lennox.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Movie_Figueroa_cutscene.jpg|thumb|left|200px|By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Warvan, I shall avenge you!]]

* A later scene where Lennox comforts the dying Figueroa was cut from the theatrical release of the film, but briefly seen in the December 2006 trailer. The scene survived in both [[Transformers: The Movie (novel)|the novelization]] and the [[Transformers: The Junior Novel|childrens' novelization]] where (despite many changes made to tone down descriptions of violence against ''robots'') he still died. Go fig!

* Early scripts give Lennox's rank as Sergeant.

* Lennox is given the nickname "Wild Bill" in the novelization. Whether this was a deliberate reference to the G.I.Joe character remains unknown.

* Josh Duhamel's left foot was injured by a piece of fake shrapnel during filming.<ref>Duhamel made fun of his minor injury during the Second Life Virtual Press Conference (the shrapnel was made of ''cork'' and it cut his ''pinky'') explaining that he wasn't allowed to do his own stunts.</ref>
[[Image:Movie_ScreenBattles_Sector7figures.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Hey! It's me! Lennox!]]
* [[Transformers: The Movie (novel)|The novelization]] reveals that Lennox's daughter's name is Annabelle.

* The '''Capture of Bumblebee''' set from the "Screen Battles" packs features what appear to be two [[Sector Seven]] soldiers, but one of them is obviously Lennox painted in Sector Seven colors.

Elita-One (Movie)

2007-09-25T00:25:37Z

70.126.222.245: /* Trivia */

{{disambig2|the 2007 movie Autobot|the Generation 1 Autobot|Elita One (G1)}}

:''Elita-One is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:ElitaOne-Movie-R.jpg|right|thumb|275px|FEVAH! In the morning...]]

'''Elita-One''' is the first of the female Transformer robots. Naturally, she receives a lot of attention, which is something she is by no means displeased by. But she's more than a pretty face, as she's a cunning fighter and an excellent marksman, capable of hitting a target from at least four miles away. But when it comes time to rely on more than her gun, she's able to emit an "attraction field" that can cause those without protection to overheat without warning.

Giggidy, Giggidy, Gig-gi-dy.

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===

*'''Elita-One''' (Scout, 2007)

: A redeco of the ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]] toy, Elita-One transforms into a "superbike"-type racing motorcycle of undetermined and probably made-up model. Like previous versions of the mold, she comes with several separate weapons pieces that combine into her Energon bow, which pegs into a hole just above her hand, and an Energon Star. These items are cast in black plastic.

[[Image:ElitaOne-Movie-V.jpg|left|thumb|125px|Would a "town bicycle" remark be too crude?]]

: Elita-One is part of the third wave of Target-[[exclusive]] Scout toys, is and presumably part of the [[Robo-Vision]] promotion.

: This mold also was used to make ''Superlink'' Ariel Paradron Type, as well as [[BotCon 2005]] ''[[Descent into Evil]]'' set's [[Chromia]], [[Flamewar]], [[Flareup]], and Elita-One's fellow Target exclusive, [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]].

{{Template:Comingsoontoy}}

==Trivia==
* Elita-One's robot mode deco meticulously matches ''[[Generation 1]]'' [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]]. Someone at [[Hasbro]] must be messing with us.
* Her deco (in vehicle mode) is also a colored similar to the motorcycle used by [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] in the film. The same motorcycle is believed by many to be a reference to Arcee, despite the color differences between the Arcee figures and the bike.

[[Image:Arceemovie.jpg|right|thumb|250px|No girls allowed.]]

Though small compared to many of her peers and adversaries, '''Arcee''' compensates with speed and aggressive maneuvers, making her one of the most dangerous Autobots around. Moreover, Arcee is a born hunter. She honed her speed hunting [[turbofox|turbofoxes]] with other speedsters, challenging herself to get as close as possible before tagging them with her bow. She's a crack shot with said crossbow weapon, and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] has trained her to use her speed to her advantage in battle, striking suddenly and swiftly and then vanishing away again as fast as she appeared.

Arcee believes without question that the Decepticons must be stopped at any cost.

Arcee was one of a handful of Autobots under the command of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] who desperately fought against [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s vast army at [[Tyger Pax]]. She was captured and interrogated by the Decepticons but survived the ordeal. She recounted to their Autobot rescuers Bumblebee's heroics in delaying Megatron, preventing Megatron from intercepting the wormhole-bound [[All Spark]].

===Target [[Robovision]] Bio===

Arcee was on [[Earth]] for a short time at the beginning of the conflict there, presumably arriving shortly after Bumblebee. When the situation on Earth began to ramp up into out-and-out combat, she was reassigned elsewhere, where her stealth skills would be of more use.

Now she fights in the [[Charii system]] against a Decepticon splinter cell working on a star-breaking weapon. If she has her way, the only things breaking will be their heads.

*'''Arcee''' (Scout, 2007)
[[Image:Arceemoviescout.jpg|right|thumb|Not [[Chromia]].]]

: Arcee is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]], replacing her pinks, most of her whites and blacks with blue, and her translucent red with smoky brown plastic. She transforms into a 'superbike'-type racing motorcycle. Unusually for a Transformer, she does not hold her weapon in her hands as most figures do. Instead, her Energon Bow mounts on a peg in her arms, with her hands being positioned to give the appearance of her using the bow. The bow itself is spring-loaded, firing a grey missile 'arrow'.

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

: This mold also was used to make ''Superlink'' Ariel Paradron Type, as well as [[BotCon 2005]] ''[[Descent into Evil]]'' set's [[Chromia]], [[Flamewar]], [[Flareup]], and the fellow Target-exclusive movieverse [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]].

*'''Arcee''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-11'''

[[Image:Movie_Deluxe_Arcee_toy.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Pretty in...''purple''?]]

: Deluxe Arcee transforms into a purple 2006 Buell Firebolt XB12R motorcycle, genericised to get around licensing issues. Maintaining the high standard of vehicle mode realism of the movie line, Arcee is perhaps the most realistic motorcycle Transformer released yet. As an off-screen design (though she originally was going to be an on-screen character), Arcee has references tampographed on her vehiclemode, such as her motorcycle's model name "RC 1100", and her number plate (from the state of Massachusetts) marked TF7407, the original release date of the movie.

: In robot mode, Arcee is quite accurate to the final CG concept design, though with more solid limbs and and a more recognisably feminine appearance influenced by ''Energon'' Arcee's sculpt and general arrangement of parts. Reasonably articulated, Arcee features ball joints in her arms, hips and neck with swivels rounding out her ankles, knees and wrists. Arcee's [[Automorph]]ing feature is located in her crossbow weapon (formed out of the seat/storage area of the bike), activated when the projectile (the bike's tailpipe) is inserted which pushes out the recurved lath parts on the sides of the weapon. Amusingly, in robot mode Arcee is one of the tallest of the Deluxe class figures released in the movie line thus far, which no doubt makes [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] feel even worse.

: The rectangular peg which is supposed to be used to attach her weapon to her forearm, in robot mode, is sometimes a poor fit, and the weapon may pop off. As an alternative, the round peg by which the weapon is attached in ''vehicle'' mode can also be used in robot mode, with a little rearranging of parts.

: As with most larger Transformers toys that become motorcycles, Arcee has a kickstand on the left side of the bike, and can accomodate 3'3/4-inch [[G.I. Joe]] figures with varying degrees of sucess.

==Trivia==
* Arcee was originally going to be a member of the live-action movie's Autobot cast, but was later replaced by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. According to screenwriter Roberto Orci, they would have needed to explain the point behind female robots, which there wasn't any time for in the movie.<ref>[http://movies.ign.com/articles/801/801098p3.html Roberto Orci explaining the reasons for Arcee's removal from the script in an interview with IGN.]</ref> It's commonly assumed that Arcee's big part in the movie would have been the scene in which [[William Lennox]] starts his solo assault on [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] using an abandoned motorcycle (however, observant viewers would've noticed that the motocycle used by Lennox was mostly colored white with some additional red/pink paint, which makes it more closely resemble the later [[Elita-One (Movie)| Elita-One]] Target exclusive figure).
* [[Image:Movie scale chart.jpg|thumb|right|''In the time before time...'']] As part of [[BotCon 2007]]'s Hasbro tour, fans viewed "Robot Scale Chart v03", dated 11.22.05, which showed Arcee's height as 9 feet. However, all of the designs on this chart were very early and later revised.

Sector Seven

2007-09-24T23:21:49Z

70.126.222.245:

{{disambig2|the Sector Seven organization itself|the alternate reality game based on it|Sector Seven (game)}}
:''Sector Seven is a [[human]] organization in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]]. It doesn't run on "feelings."''

[[Image:Sector7logo.png|thumb|"You guys have heard of Area 51? Well this is 50!" ]]

{{quote|We're the government. Sector Seven.}}{{quote|Never heard of it.}}{{quote|Never will.|Agent Simmons and Ron Witwicky}}

'''Sector Seven''' is a secret [[United States of America|American]] government agency, which deals with extraterrestrial technology and threats.

It is so secret, it has its own [http://www.sectorseven.org/ secret website].

''Sector Seven sometimes operates through the front company '''S7 Industries'''.''

==Fiction==

===sectorseven.org===

Sector Seven was founded over 100 years ago by a group of seven men:

*Stanford Julius Morehouse
*Edgar Thibedeau Westfield
*Neville Octavian Brewster
*Percy Emerson Whitting
*Wallace Wilson Clairmont
*Alistair Jennings Crowther
*Vance Milhaus Lawson

They are known as "The First Seven," and are said to have "hid the past to protect the future,"<ref>Names originally revealed via Agent X's website. Page mirrored [http://ebucehtdnif.wikibruce.com/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/317526-AE0/ here.] </ref> whatever that means. Their portraits adorn a wall in the lobby of the present day Sector Seven headquarters, as a [[B11-9981|local pizza boy]] can attest.

In 2007, after the detection of a "blip" that matched their "threat profile," Agent [[Alexander Powers]] informed the organization that war may be imminent and that they were humanity's only hope. He and research scientist [[Rebecca Howard]], ex-lovers, clashed several times over her desire to go public with information about the [[N.B.E.]] threat and seek assistance from other nations. This escalated with the detection of "N.B.E. Two," with whom Dr. Howard argued in favor of making contact.

Meanwhile, the mysterious [[Agent X]] began hacking into the Sector Seven network and leaking information to the public. {{storylink|Sector Seven (game)|Sector Seven ARG}}

=== IDW Movie Prequel comic ===

*Apparently, Sector Seven has been around for a very long time; certainly, an existing group has been around since before Sam Witwicky's Grandfather encountered the [[Megatron (Movie)|''Mega-Man'']] underneath the arctic ice. Upon hearing his story Sector Seven immediately went into action to seize his find and discredit the story.

*Interestingly, even this older version of Sector Seven has a number of interesting artifacts in their collection. These include pictures and a skull from a "triclops" life form of some kind, a severed bestial arm in a jar (possibly from a version of the Beast Wars, although the sketch is difficult to make out and mechanics may not be incorporated) and what could possibly be a fragment of the [[Golden Disk]]. Most intriguing indeed.

=== Ghosts of Yesterday novel ===

*'''1969''' - Sector Seven (headed by [[Walter Simmons]], known internally as "The Old Man"), attempted the first test flight of an [[Megatron (Movie)|Ice Man]]-derived spacecraft ([[Ghost 1]]) using the Apollo 11 moon launch as cover. Unexpected complications occurred following contact with [[NBE]]s. At the same time the first attempt was made to relocate the Ice Man himself from the Arctic to southern Nevada to be better studied alongside a likewise mysterious [[All Spark|"alien cube"]]. Signs seemed to point to Sector Seven begining to shift from being a secret U.S. military protocol to a non-military "black ops" program. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday}}

=== ''Transformers'' (2007) ===
A Sector Seven field team under Director [[Reggie Simmons]] headed to the [[Witwicky]] residence upon learning of [[Samuel James Witwicky]]'s [[Bumblebee (Movie)|living car]]. Taking Witiwcky and [[Mikaela Banes]] into custody, the field unit's convoy was ambushed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. Although they attempted to resist the [[Autobot]]s, [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] alone had more weapons then all of them, and [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] soon disarmed them. A backup team arrived to capture any of Autobots they could, but were only successful in capturing Bumblebee and the two teens.

Taken to Hoover Dam, Simmons and [[Tom Banachek]] showed the Teens, an army ranger unit, and [[John Keller|Defense Secretary Keller]] the frozen N.B.E.-01, who Sam Witwicky identified as Megatron, leader of the [[Decepticon]]s. However, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] arrived and destroyed their external power lines, while [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] sabotaged Megatron's stasis controls. With Megatron minutes away from thawing, Sam tried to convince Simmons to release Bumblebee, but Simmons was only convinced by [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]]...who put a gun to Simmons chest. However, Bumblebee, who had was constantly being doused with cryoblasts, nearly lashed out at Sector Seven, before Sam calmed him and took him to the All Spark. Beyond providing a small amount of soldiers to assist the ranger unit under Lennox, Sector Seven played no serious role in the Battle of [[Mission City]], which was mostly decided by the Autobots.

Sector Seven's time had come—and they had done nothing but make the situation worse, all their secret weapons being ineffective against the Decepticons, and having alienated the Autobots. Sector Seven was terminated in an effort to better cover up the existance of the [[Transformer]]s, but it may have been influenced by their loss of control over the situation.

==Equipment==
As an exceptionally well-funded secret government organisation, Sector Seven is at the cutting edge of human (or alien-derived) technology in their quest to better understand the Ice Man, the Cube, and to seek other N.B.E.s on Earth.

====Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit====
[[Image:Sectorsevenmobilecommandunit.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Nothing to see here. Move along.]]

To counter public suspicion and the information about the N.B.E.s leaked by Agent X, Sector Seven employed a [[Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit|mass disinformation program in the form of a road tour]] at various cinemas across America. Black Peterbilt cabover trucks pull large, armoured trailers containing sophisticated communications and scanning equipment, as well as a small cage for containing any [[Frenzy (Movie)|captured N.B.E.s]] assigned agents happen to find. However, the communications equipment aboard these trailers are frequently susceptible to displaying emergency communiques from Sector Seven Command showing a very well-edited and scored satellite video feed of an [[Scorponok (Movie)|alien robot attack]] in [[Qatar]], usually in the presence of ordinary civilians.

====M9-2 Harpoon Gun====
[[Image:M9-2_Harpoon_Gun.jpg|thumb|right|250px|After this, lets go shoot some baby seals.]]

The [[M9-2 Harpoon Gun]] is a weapon developed by Sector Seven, under the direction of [[Rebecca Howard]]. The intial protoype was completed in 2003. Featuring an armor-piercing projectile that weighs 21.2 kilograms, the weapon has a range of 55 meters with a muzzle velocity of 324 meters per second.

Primative by N.B.E. standards, the weapon is nevertheless effective at subduing non-hostile [[Bumblebee (Movie)|aliens]] and contain them for cryo-freezing.

====Pursuit van====
[[Image:Movie_SectorSeven_van.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Who took the doughnuts?]]

Once an N.B.E. has been located within range of Sector Seven field units, Mobile teams are sent out in pursuit vans to intercept and capture them (alive if possible). Equipped with the standard array of sophisticated communications equipment one comes to expect from Sector Seven, the vans are armed with a passenger-side M9-2 harpoon gun and generally carry a squad of troops armed with portable cryo-freezing units.

:''Sector Seven is a [[human]] organization in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]]. It doesn't run on "feelings."''

{{quote|We're the government. Sector Seven.}}{{quote|Never heard of it.}}{{quote|Never will.|Agent Simmons and Ron Witwicky}}

'''Sector Seven''' is a secret [[United States of America|American]] government agency, which deals with extraterrestrial technology and threats.

It is so secret, it has its own [http://www.sectorseven.org/ secret website].

''Sector Seven sometimes operates through the front company '''S7 Industries'''.''

==Fiction==

===sectorseven.org===

Sector Seven was founded over 100 years ago by a group of seven men:

*Stanford Julius Morehouse
*Edgar Thibedeau Westfield
*Neville Octavian Brewster
*Percy Emerson Whitting
*Wallace Wilson Clairmont
*Alistair Jennings Crowther
*Vance Milhaus Lawson

They are known as "The First Seven," and are said to have "hid the past to protect the future,"<ref>Names originally revealed via Agent X's website. Page mirrored [http://ebucehtdnif.wikibruce.com/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/317526-AE0/ here.] </ref> whatever that means. Their portraits adorn a wall in the lobby of the present day Sector Seven headquarters, as a [[B11-9981|local pizza boy]] can attest.

In 2007, after the detection of a "blip" that matched their "threat profile," Agent [[Alexander Powers]] informed the organization that war may be imminent and that they were humanity's only hope. He and research scientist [[Rebecca Howard]], ex-lovers, clashed several times over her desire to go public with information about the [[N.B.E.]] threat and seek assistance from other nations. This escalated with the detection of "N.B.E. Two," with whom Dr. Howard argued in favor of making contact.

Meanwhile, the mysterious [[Agent X]] began hacking into the Sector Seven network and leaking information to the public. {{storylink|Sector Seven (game)|Sector Seven ARG}}

*Apparently, Sector Seven has been around for a very long time; certainly, an existing group has been around since before Sam Witwicky's Grandfather encountered the [[Megatron (Movie)|''Mega-Man'']] underneath the arctic ice. Upon hearing his story Sector Seven immediately went into action to seize his find and discredit the story.

*Interestingly, even this older version of Sector Seven has a number of interesting artifacts in their collection.

Arcee (Movie)

2007-09-24T23:16:54Z

70.126.222.245:

{{disambig3|Arcee}}

:''Arcee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Arceemovie.jpg|right|thumb|250px|No wonder she was removed. Yuk!]]

Though small compared to many of her peers and adversaries, '''Arcee''' compensates with speed and aggressive maneuvers, making her one of the most dangerous Autobots around. Moreover, Arcee is a born hunter. She honed her speed hunting [[turbofox|turbofoxes]] with other speedsters, challenging herself to get as close as possible before tagging them with her bow. She's a crack shot with said crossbow weapon, and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] has trained her to use her speed to her advantage in battle, striking suddenly and swiftly and then vanishing away again as fast as she appeared.

Arcee believes without question that the Decepticons must be stopped at any cost.

==Fiction==
===IDW ''The Official Movie Prequel'' comics===
[[Image:IDWPrequel_movieArcee_cvr.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Ever feel like you were the only ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' homage in a universe full of [[Generation 1|G1]] homages?]]

Arcee was one of a handful of Autobots under the command of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] who desperately fought against [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s vast army at [[Tyger Pax]]. She was captured and interrogated by the Decepticons but survived the ordeal. She recounted to their Autobot rescuers Bumblebee's heroics in delaying Megatron, preventing Megatron from intercepting the wormhole-bound [[All Spark]].

===Target [[Robovision]] Bio===

Arcee was on [[Earth]] for a short time at the beginning of the conflict there, presumably arriving shortly after Bumblebee. When the situation on Earth began to ramp up into out-and-out combat, she was reassigned elsewhere, where her stealth skills would be of more use.

Now she fights in the [[Charii system]] against a Decepticon splinter cell working on a star-breaking weapon. If she has her way, the only things breaking will be their heads.

*'''Arcee''' (Scout, 2007)
[[Image:Arceemoviescout.jpg|right|thumb|Not [[Chromia]].]]

: Arcee is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]], replacing her pinks, most of her whites and blacks with blue, and her translucent red with smoky brown plastic. She transforms into a 'superbike'-type racing motorcycle. Unusually for a Transformer, she does not hold her weapon in her hands as most figures do. Instead, her Energon Bow mounts on a peg in her arms, with her hands being positioned to give the appearance of her using the bow. The bow itself is spring-loaded, firing a grey missile 'arrow'.

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

: This mold also was used to make ''Superlink'' Ariel Paradron Type, as well as [[BotCon 2005]] ''[[Descent into Evil]]'' set's [[Chromia]], [[Flamewar]], [[Flareup]], and the fellow Target-exclusive movieverse [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]].

*'''Arcee''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-11'''

[[Image:Movie_Deluxe_Arcee_toy.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Pretty in...''purple''?]]

: Deluxe Arcee transforms into a purple 2006 Buell Firebolt XB12R motorcycle, genericised to get around licensing issues. Maintaining the high standard of vehicle mode realism of the movie line, Arcee is perhaps the most realistic motorcycle Transformer released yet. As an off-screen design (though she originally was going to be an on-screen character), Arcee has references tampographed on her vehiclemode, such as her motorcycle's model name "RC 1100", and her number plate (from the state of Massachusetts) marked TF7407, the original release date of the movie.

: In robot mode, Arcee is quite accurate to the final CG concept design, though with more solid limbs and and a more recognisably feminine appearance influenced by ''Energon'' Arcee's sculpt and general arrangement of parts. Reasonably articulated, Arcee features ball joints in her arms, hips and neck with swivels rounding out her ankles, knees and wrists. Arcee's [[Automorph]]ing feature is located in her crossbow weapon (formed out of the seat/storage area of the bike), activated when the projectile (the bike's tailpipe) is inserted which pushes out the recurved lath parts on the sides of the weapon. Amusingly, in robot mode Arcee is one of the tallest of the Deluxe class figures released in the movie line thus far, which no doubt makes [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] feel even worse.

: The rectangular peg which is supposed to be used to attach her weapon to her forearm, in robot mode, is sometimes a poor fit, and the weapon may pop off. As an alternative, the round peg by which the weapon is attached in ''vehicle'' mode can also be used in robot mode, with a little rearranging of parts.

: As with most larger Transformers toys that become motorcycles, Arcee has a kickstand on the left side of the bike, and can accomodate 3'3/4-inch [[G.I. Joe]] figures with varying degrees of sucess.

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Arcee was originally going to be a member of the live-action movie's Autobot cast, but was later replaced by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. According to screenwriter Roberto Orci, they would have needed to explain the point behind female robots, which there wasn't any time for in the movie.<ref>[http://movies.ign.com/articles/801/801098p3.html Roberto Orci explaining the reasons for Arcee's removal from the script in an interview with IGN.]</ref> It's commonly assumed that Arcee's big part in the movie would have been the scene in which [[William Lennox]] starts his solo assault on [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] using an abandoned motorcycle.
* [[Image:Movie scale chart.jpg|thumb|right]] As part of [[BotCon 2007]]'s Hasbro tour, fans viewed "Robot Scale Chart v03", dated 11.22.05, which showed Arcee's height as 9 feet. However, all of the designs on this chart were very early and later revised.

70.126.222.245: /* Trivia */

:''The Mountain Dew Robots are mechanoids in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Dewbot.jpg|thumb|300px|Remember when [[Robo-Capers]] used to do these as ''jokes''?]]

The '''Mountain Dew Robots''' are a group of Transformers operating in secret on Earth. Although only two individual members are known -- both of whom transform into [[Wikipedia:Mountain Dew|Mountain Dew]] vending machines -- the existence of a divergent future timeline in which an entire complex known as Dew City is built implies that they may be as numerous as the [[Chevy Autobot]]s. At the very least, there's probably a red one. And a blue one. And two black ones. And a ''diet'' one...

The origin of the Mountain Dew Robots is unknown. At least one of their number was awakened on Earth by the [[All Spark]]'s area-effect, but the others are unaccounted for. They might be [[NBE|aliens]].

Mountain Dew Robots have not been identified as either Autobot or Decepticon. Dewbot, in fact, sports the Mountain Dew logo on his forehead where a faction symbol would normally go. Given what little is known about them, the Mountain Dew Robots might even represent their own faction. A faction of REFRESHMENT.

:''('''Note''': The [[Capture the Cube]] online game allows winning players to enter Dewbot into the ranks of the "Elite Mountain Dew Robots". Presumably, these elites are a subset of all MDRs, but it is possible that the group as a whole is more properly referred to by this name.)''

==Members==
===Dewbot===
[[Image:Dewbot transform.gif|thumb|left|Free Slurm for all humans!]]

'''Dewbot''' is a covert infiltration agent specializing in heavily trafficked human installations. You could walk by him, even stop and ''touch'' him, and never know you'd interacted with a Transformer.{{storylink|Capture the Cube}}

Disguised as a large vending machine he is effectively invisible to humans who are used to seeing them everywhere. The moment humans' backs are turned, Dewbot engages his whisper-mode transformation sequence and continues on his mission. The result is quite similar to Bugs Bunny disguising himself as a bush.

Dewbot's robot mode has four arms canted front and rear, affording him an almost spider-like dexterity. Magnetic grapplers on his feet allow him to scale walls and even ceilings. He is strong enough to shatter 3 inch steel with his bare hands. Completing the illusion of his alternate mode, Dewbot is capable of dispensing Mountain Dew or Code Red.

Dewbot's craft relies on remaining undetected; he has no on-board armaments and his land speed is below average. He cannot see in the dark.

He also enjoys the lost art of ''dance'', often taking time in the middle of a mission to strut his stuff.

:''('''Note''': All references to the name 'Dewbot' were removed from the game for its final release, where he is identified only as one of the Elite Mountain Dew Robots. The name Dewbot can still be found in the internal game resources. It is a proper noun.'')

====Fiction====
[[Image:Dewbot altmode.jpg|thumb|150px|"Was that vending machine here a minute ago?"]]

Dewbot staked out [[Sector Seven]] headquarters while the [[All Spark]] was being moved, following the relocation team in and evading detection in order steal it.{{Storylink|Capture the Cube}}

Since Dewbot failed to capture the All Spark in any known continuity, presumably his infiltration ended with the 'Game Lost' ending, in which he triggers one too many alarms and the All Spark is locked down.

The timing of Dewbot's mission is unclear, but the All Spark's relocation implies that it falls either before (or immediately after) [[James Farr]]'s death on March 16 2006, or after [[Rebecca Howard]]'s arrest on April 1st 2007, since Dr. Howard stonewalled all experimentation on the All Spark in the interim.

=== Mission City Mountain Dew Robot ===
[[Image:MtDewBot-BPart.jpg|thumb|left|I am a seething cauldron of freon and caffeine!]]

Dewbot is not the only Pepsi product vending machine running around the American west -- when [[Sam Witwicky]] accidentally activated the All Spark during his flight from the [[Decepticon]]s in [[Mission City]], the artifact's radiation animated an SUV [[steering wheel robot|steering wheel]], an [[Xbox 360 robot|Xbox 360]], and a Mountain Dew soda machine into robots. This Mountain Dew Robot sports a different head, and has an arm-mounted can-[[cannon]]. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

The [[Transform Your Summer]] promotional site included images of '''Dew City'''; a horrible (yet strangely refreshing) post-apocalyptic Earth where the planet's entire water supply had been transformed into Mountain Dew and a gleaming emerald cityscape rose to cover the entire planet. The Dew City images were available in both Autobot and Decepticon versions.

Dew City's origins are unknown, but it appears to be linked to a recurring image on the Transform Your Summer site of the All Spark, floating in orbit of Earth, nearly colliding with a 20oz. bottle of Mountain Dew.

== Trivia ==
* The Mission City Mountain Dew Robot was jokingly dubbed "Dispensor" during a panel at [[BotCon 2007]].

* The Capture the Cube game was developed by Tribal DDB Dallas.

* All animation for the Capture the Cube game was developed by [[Replaced by Robots]], a Canadian animation studio.

* The Mission City Mountain Dew Robot's head slightly resembles the head the film's [[Megatron (Movie)|main villain]].

Dispensor

2007-09-21T05:05:07Z

70.126.222.245: /* Trivia */

:''The Mountain Dew Robots are mechanoids in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Dewbot.jpg|thumb|300px|Remember when [[Robo-Capers]] used to do these as ''jokes''?]]

The '''Mountain Dew Robots''' are a group of Transformers operating in secret on Earth. Although only two individual members are known -- both of whom transform into [[Wikipedia:Mountain Dew|Mountain Dew]] vending machines -- the existence of a divergent future timeline in which an entire complex known as Dew City is built implies that they may be as numerous as the [[Chevy Autobot]]s. At the very least, there's probably a red one. And a blue one. And two black ones. And a ''diet'' one...

The origin of the Mountain Dew Robots is unknown. At least one of their number was awakened on Earth by the [[All Spark]]'s area-effect, but the others are unaccounted for. They might be [[NBE|aliens]].

Mountain Dew Robots have not been identified as either Autobot or Decepticon. Dewbot, in fact, sports the Mountain Dew logo on his forehead where a faction symbol would normally go. Given what little is known about them, the Mountain Dew Robots might even represent their own faction. A faction of REFRESHMENT.

:''('''Note''': The [[Capture the Cube]] online game allows winning players to enter Dewbot into the ranks of the "Elite Mountain Dew Robots". Presumably, these elites are a subset of all MDRs, but it is possible that the group as a whole is more properly referred to by this name.)''

==Members==
===Dewbot===
[[Image:Dewbot transform.gif|thumb|left|Free Slurm for all humans!]]

'''Dewbot''' is a covert infiltration agent specializing in heavily trafficked human installations. You could walk by him, even stop and ''touch'' him, and never know you'd interacted with a Transformer.{{storylink|Capture the Cube}}

Disguised as a large vending machine he is effectively invisible to humans who are used to seeing them everywhere. The moment humans' backs are turned, Dewbot engages his whisper-mode transformation sequence and continues on his mission. The result is quite similar to Bugs Bunny disguising himself as a bush.

Dewbot's robot mode has four arms canted front and rear, affording him an almost spider-like dexterity. Magnetic grapplers on his feet allow him to scale walls and even ceilings. He is strong enough to shatter 3 inch steel with his bare hands. Completing the illusion of his alternate mode, Dewbot is capable of dispensing Mountain Dew or Code Red.

Dewbot's craft relies on remaining undetected; he has no on-board armaments and his land speed is below average. He cannot see in the dark.

He also enjoys the lost art of ''dance'', often taking time in the middle of a mission to strut his stuff.

:''('''Note''': All references to the name 'Dewbot' were removed from the game for its final release, where he is identified only as one of the Elite Mountain Dew Robots. The name Dewbot can still be found in the internal game resources. It is a proper noun.'')

====Fiction====
[[Image:Dewbot altmode.jpg|thumb|150px|"Was that vending machine here a minute ago?"]]

Dewbot staked out [[Sector Seven]] headquarters while the [[All Spark]] was being moved, following the relocation team in and evading detection in order steal it.{{Storylink|Capture the Cube}}

Since Dewbot failed to capture the All Spark in any known continuity, presumably his infiltration ended with the 'Game Lost' ending, in which he triggers one too many alarms and the All Spark is locked down.

The timing of Dewbot's mission is unclear, but the All Spark's relocation implies that it falls either before (or immediately after) [[James Farr]]'s death on March 16 2006, or after [[Rebecca Howard]]'s arrest on April 1st 2007, since Dr. Howard stonewalled all experimentation on the All Spark in the interim.

=== Mission City Mountain Dew Robot ===
[[Image:MtDewBot-BPart.jpg|thumb|left|I am a seething cauldron of freon and caffeine!]]

Dewbot is not the only Pepsi product vending machine running around the American west -- when [[Sam Witwicky]] accidentally activated the All Spark during his flight from the [[Decepticon]]s in [[Mission City]], the artifact's radiation animated an SUV [[steering wheel robot|steering wheel]], an [[Xbox 360 robot|Xbox 360]], and a Mountain Dew soda machine into robots. This Mountain Dew Robot sports a different head, and has an arm-mounted can-[[cannon]]. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

Fortress Maximus (RID)

2007-09-20T20:40:23Z

70.126.222.245: /* ''Robots in Disguise'' */

{{disambig3|Fortress Maximus}}

:''Fortress Maximus is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Robots in Disguise]] continuity.''

[[Image:Bravemax_giant.jpg|right|thumb|350px|Friend to all children! But not a [[wikipedia:Gamera|giant turtle]].]]

'''Fortress Maximus''' is a colossal Autobot guardian hidden on [[Earth]] to protect the planet from evil. Immense in strength, unmatchable in firepower and impregnable in durability, Fortress Maximus' only weakness is his compassion for children.

Fortress Maximus does not appear to be sentient in and of himself, but rather, is controlled by [[Cerebros (RID)|Cerebros]]. Even Cerebros himself does make his own decisions, instead operating on a tri-lateral recognition program that defines the actions he will take. Cerebros on his own will only respond to an Autobot energy signature, and when combined with Fortress Maximus, will react only to the bio-energy of human beings. To prevent his power being used for evil, his recognition program operates on "harmonic resonance," which allows him to sense the intentions of those that would command him. He will not follow commands of an evil or self-serving nature; consequently, due to their worldly innocence, human children are particularly adept at controlling him.

:''Japanese Name:'' '''Brave Maximus'''

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
====''Robots in Disguise''====
:''Voice actor: [[Steve Blum]] (US), [[Masayuki Kiyama]] (Japan)''
:''('''Note:''' Most websites list [[Steve Kramer]] as Fortress Maximus due to the fact that he provided the voice of Cerebros, but from the small number of lines he actually speaks, it does not appear to be Kramer behind the microphone.''

[[Image:Bravemax_head.jpg|left|thumb|200px|And I'll form the head!]]

Fortress Maximus was hidden on [[Earth]] eons ago in order to protect the planet, slumberimg in stasis beneath the surface of the planet, where [[Metro City]] would come to be built. The various keys that would enable his reactivation were scattered across the globe - the [[O-Parts]], the [[Orb of Sigma]] and his [[Headmaster]] component, Cerebros - and sealed within ancient structures, suggesting that ancient human civilizations had some hand in the process. Although his existence went on to slip into the realm of legend amongst most of the populous on Cybertron, certain high-ranking Autobots and Predacons were well aware of the truth behind the story, and, in the mid-20th century, a team of six Autobots were sent to Earth to reactivate Maximus, only for their ship to crash into the mountain that would come to be known as [[Castle Peak]], trapping them all in stasis. {{storylink|The Decepticons}}

Around the beginning of the 21st century, the [[Predacon]] leader [[Megatron (RiD)|Megatron]] was dispatched to Earth by the Predacon Council to acquire Fortress Maximus. {{storylink|Surprise Attack!}} Attacking the National Scientific Symposium, he captured archaeologist [[Doctor Onishi]], whose research had led him to discover the trail the led to Fortress Maximus. {{storylink|Battle Protocol!}} The Predacons battles with their [[Autobot]] enemies steadily led to the discovery of several O-Parts, which fell into Autobot hands; the Autobot craft in Castle Peak, however, was uncovered by Megatron and the Autobots within co-opted into Decepticons, led by [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]]

[[Image:Bravemax_city.jpg|right|thumb|Well, actually, if he keeps sitting in green liquid, he might ''become'' a [[wikipedia:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|giant turtle]].]]

While tunnelling beneath Metro City, the [[Build Team]] found themselves affects by a strange energy field that caused them to hallucinate and fight amongst each other, eventually forcing them to withdraw. Investigating, the Autobots discovered that the cavern beneath the city containing Fortress Maximus, and that the energy field was a defense mechanism designed to keep away any intruders. {{storylink|Fortress Maximus (episode)|Fortress Maximus}} Exposure to Maximus's energies reawakened Scourge's memories of his original mission to reawaken the fortress, but his Decepticon programming twisted the mission, and he now sought to acquire Maximus's power for himself. As [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]] held him off, the Build Team relocate Maximus - in his city mode - to a concealed structure in the middle of Metro City, hiding him from the Decepticons. {{storylink|Koji Gets His Wish}}

During this battle, Doctor Onishi was freed from the Predacons, and equipped the Autobots with tracking devices that allowed them to quickly and easily track down all the remaining O-Parts. {{storylink|A Friendly Contest}} United, the O-Parts led to the Orb of Sigma, resulting in a battle that ended with Megatron's disapearance. {{storylink|Peril From The Past}} The Orb in turn led to Cerebros, who the Decepticons and Predacons - now led by Scourge - were able to capture. Having discovering the hiding place of Fortress Maximus, Scourge utilised the Autobot portion of his energy-signature to activate Cerebros, who then brought Fortress Maximus online. Maximus, however, then proceeded to run wild, stomping his way through Metro City unheeding of Scourge's commands, until the Autobots' human ally [[Koji Onishi|Koji]] called out for him to stop, and he obeyed. Transforming back to city mode, Maximus vanished beneath the Earth, and the villains absconded with Cerebros once more. {{storylink|Maximus Emerges}}

Realising that Koji had been able to control Fortress Maximus because he was human, Scourge amplified the portion of his bio-signature that was human (derived from [[Kelly]]) to seize control of Maximus once more when the city reappeared in the Sahara Desert, only for the Autobots to gather a mass of human children together to override his command. {{storylink|The Human Element}} Deciding that he required a human of his own to control Maximus for him, a case of mistaken identity led Scourge to kidnap Koji's friend [[Carl]]; nevertheless, Maximus was successfully activated and piloted by Carl when he resurfaced in a jungle. By this point, Megatron had returned - having been upgraded to Galvatron by the power of the Orb of Sigma's pyramid - and Scourge chose this moment to reveal his treachery, ordering Fortress Maximus to crush his former leader. However, Carl's selfish desire to defeat the villains himself and show up Koji caused Maximus to power down, and the Autobots arrived in time to save him and finally take possession of Cerebros, as Maximus vanished once more. {{storylink|Mistaken Identity}}

[[Image:Bravemax_megastar.jpg|left|thumb|Clash of the Really Big Hands]]

With the Autobots having acquired a full understanding of Fortress Maximus's activation protocols thanks to Cerebros, their base was then attacked by the Predacons and Decepticons, the latter having been reprogrammed back to loyalty by Galvatron. In the midst of the battle, [[Wedge]]'s determination to defeat Galvatron resonated with Cerebros, and he summoned and activated Fortress Maximus. Galvatron combined with his ship, the [[Megastar]] and battled with Maximus, but was defeated when Maximus unleashed his Maximum Firepower attack and blew the ship to smithereens. {{storylink|Surprise Attack!}}

[[Image:Bravemax_finalburn.jpg|right|thumb|Ka-BOOM!]]

Galvatron survived the barrage, however, and restored his strength by affixing himself to Maximus and draining the giant robot's energy, supercharging himself. {{storylink|Galvatron's Revenge}} [[Omega Prime]] proceeded to challenge Galvatron to a final battle at the Earth's core. Koji, meanwhile, contacted as many children as he could, instructing them to send their energy to Fortress Maximus to re-power him; Maximus absorbed and re-channeled the energy to Omega Prime in the form of the [[Matrix Blade]], which Prime used to finally defeat Galvatron. With the Predacons and Decepticons at last beaten and captured, Fortress Maximus transformed to starship mode and transported the villains to the [[asteroid prison colony]]. {{storylink|The Final Battle}}

==Toys==
===Car Robots===
* '''Brave Maximus''' (2000)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-027'''

: Brave Maximus is an extensive [[redeco]] of ''Generation 1'' [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], essentially replacing much of Fortress's lighter colors with darker ones. Due to marketing campaign concerns, Brave Maximus was never released with all of Fortress Maximus' accessories, missing his two hand guns, [[Cog]]'s components, and the two [[Master Sword]]s. These parts were later offered as campaign and lucky draw prizes by [[Takara]].

: Despite this, Brave Maximus retains all of Fortress' functionality, being able to transform from his 2 foot tall robot mode to battleship mode to city mode and back again. In city mode he features a rotating radar, a jail cell, a working elevator that leads to a button-activated car launcher, and two manual car launchers on his arm-ramps. The [[Spy Changers]] are the only figures from the toyline that interact with him particularly well, although his two arm-ramps can also launch the Autobot Brothers. In particular, the Spy Changer toy of Scourge fits in the robot's control room perfectly, allowing you to replicate the scenes from the cartoon, as well as actually providing an "evil" figure to lock in the jail cell. (Ironically, Spychanger Scourge wasn't part of the ''Car Robots'' toyline, and Maximus wasn't part of ''RiD''! Still, Japanese fans were eventually able buy chibi-Scourge like they buy many US-"exclusive" toys, as a "US Edition" in its American packaging.)

: The back of Maximus's instruction leaflet features a color play mat that the city connects to for use with other ''Car Robots/Robots in Disguise'' toys.

==Trivia==
* According to the toy's profile card, Brave Maximus' robot mode is 350 meters tall (1,148 feet).
* In 2002, [[Hasbro]] began to solicit a domestic US release of Brave Maximus as ''Robots in Disguise'' Fortress Maximus. However, it was later canceled due to the toy's failure of [[for safety reasons|standard industry drop tests]].
* The figure was released in Korea in 2003, identical to the Takara version save for one detail - the Autobot symbol sticker on the city's central tower was upside-down.

[[Image:Divide_and_conquer.jpg|right|thumb|350px|Ohhh, that's REALLY gonna leave a mark on the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]].]]
'''[[Generation 1 (cartoon)|Generation One]] > [[Generation 1 (cartoon)#Season 1|Season 1]]'''

[[Autobots]] must journey to [[Cybertron]] to retrieve a vital piece of technology to save the life of an ailing [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]].

==Detailed synopsis==

'''Act One:''' [[Earth]] factories are busily preparing weaponry for use against the [[Decepticon]] menace. [[Chip Chase]] is inspecting one such facility, where the administrators hope he can develop new methods to improve the efficiency of weapons production. The Decepticon [[seeker]] jets suddenly attack the factory, breaching its walls and landing inside. They begin draining the factory of its energy, but have not noticed Chip, who sends out a distress signal to the Autobots.

[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Spike]] are on a search mission, fruitlessly looking for any trace of the Decepticon [[Space Bridge]]. Prime intercepts Chip’s call for help, and orders the Autobots at the [[Ark]] to meet him at the munitions plant. Prime arrives at the scene first, and is outnumbered three-to-one. A stray shot hits one of the massive computer banks, which begins a critical meltdown and overload. Prime attempts to shield the humans from the inevitable explosion with his own body. The blast tears through Prime, and the Decepticons take advantage of his weakened state to nail him. Prime collapses under fire.

The seekers hear the approach of the other Autobots, and following Megatron’s orders, rereat with the [[Energon cube]]s. The Autobots find Prime’s badly damaged form and take it back to base. Prime’s power relays are fused. His mobility limited. His speech… slow… and labored. Part replacement… essential….

Wanting to confirm Prime’s condition, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] dispatches [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] to the Ark to spy on [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]’s efforts to repair Prime. Optimus’ [[electro-pulse]] is fading. At Megatron’s command, Laserbeak attacks the incredibly vulnerable Prime, tearing into his exposed chest cavity and causing a tremendous explosion.

'''Act Two:''' It’s more smoke and sparks than fiery blast, and Prime survives the explosion, though his energy is fading fast. His very laser core is at risk of snuffing out, and Ratchet needs a [[cosmotron]] to keep his Prime’s levels from draining. Wheeljack only knows of one in existence, but it’s in his shop back on Cybertron, which the Decepticons had placed under a computerized lock. The Autobots need to get back to their homeworld and pick this lock. Naturally, Chip Chase is the only one of them familiar enough with Cybertronian computers to make this possible.

Chip uses [[Teletraan-1]] to do what Optimus could not: triangulate the likely coordinates for the Space Bridge’s next appearance. Following Chip’s detective work, the Autobots drive into the woods and discover the Space Bridge site. Starscream and Rumble oversee the transport of a shuttle module filled with Energon Cubes, with a hapless [[Reflector]]-type soldier sent to pilot it across the gulf of interstellar space. With the Autobot’s arrival, a fray breaks out – and so does a sudden thunderstorm.

Surprisingly, Megatron (who has been monitoring the battle) orders the Decepticons to let the Autobots win. The thunderstorm has given him an idea, but he does not elaborate. The Autobots -- [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]], [[Trailbreaker]] and [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] -- drive into the Space Bridge and are teleported to Shockwave’s tower. They blast their way past a shocked Shockwave and into Cybertron’s streets. Megatron orders the Cybertronian seekers to destroy the Autobot infiltrators with acid rain.

At [[Wheeljack’s shop]], Chip works his way past the locking mechanism, and Ironhide instantly finds the cosmotron. Outside, a trio of seekers somehow seed the clouds over the workshop so they produce incredibly debilitating [[acid rain]].

'''Act Three:''' The acid rain shorts the circuitry of the Autobots, who collapse at the touch of the deadly downpour. Chip is immune to the rain’s effects, and implores the Autobots to continue. Trailbreaker musters up the energy to project his force-field, sheltering the Autobots from the rain, giving their automatic repair systems time to kick in. Bluestreak fires some blasts into the clouds overhead, dispersing the rainmaking seekers and the toxic clouds. Rejuvenated, the Autobots return to Shockwave’s tower and ride the Space Bridge back to Earth.

On Earth, Megatron recognizes that without Prime, the conquest of the Autobots is a foregone conclusion. He leads an attack on the Ark. The Autobots recognize the hopeless battle up ahead, but Spike musters up the courage. He grabs [[Jazz]]’s rifle and rallies the troops. He even manages to inspire perpetual downer Huffer to take charge.

An enormous battle breaks out in front of the Ark, just as the Autobot mission returns from Cybertron. Chip and Spike race the cosmotron to Prime. Optimus emerges in time to personally challenge Megatron. Prime is victorious, and the Decepticons retreat.

==Notable Quotes==

“I think Laserbeak’s chicken!” – Skywarp

“He’s doomed. I know it. I can feel it in my databank.” – Huffer, hoping the best for a dying Prime.

"I knew it was hopeless, I just knew..." - Huffer again, before Ironhide shut him up good.

“They sure don’t build them like that anymore.” Sparkplug

“Just like Sherlock Holmes with floppy disks!” – Spike, hopelessly over his head when it comes to computer talk.

“Hey! Who you callin’ clumsy, Gasket-Breath?” – Rumble

“No one’s really disabled as long as he has courage.” – Chip Chase, and that’s one to grow on.

“I’m sorry, Spike. Sometimes nothing you do makes any difference.” – Sparkplug to Spike, which, if you don’t read as the ‘royal’ you, is actually kind of mean and funny.

==Other notes==

===Animation and/or technical glitches===
* Due to a mix-up in animation models, the green-uniformed human soldiers protecting the weapons factory in one shot turn into hard-hat wearing factory workers in another shot

* A teleporting Skywarp is mistakenly colored with Starscream’s colors, and then Thundercracker’s colors.

* A peculiar design in one shot has Optimus Prime’s cab face sport a 45-degree slope.

* When the Autobots are shown talking to Optimus, and later arriving at the factory, Bumblebee is the only yellow Autobot shown. However, when the Aubots transform to go to the factory, Sunstreaker is shown transforming instead of Bumblebee.

* Because the background art moves around to simulate a camera tilt, the foreground animation of Prime’s trailer receding into the background looks instead like it is shrinking into nothingness in midair.

* Before Brawn enters the room where Optimus Prime is being worked on, he is shown standing inside.

* There’s a big nasty S-shaped hair in the center of the screen as Wheeljack describes his shop on Cybertron.

* At the Space Bridge site, the camera pans across the scenery, but a painted foreground tree travels with the move, making it look like the tree is mobile.

* Four Reflectors are shown when preparing the Space Bridge (though it could be argued it is a separate Reflector-like Decepticon).

* Rumble blinks out for a few moments when the Autobots arrive at the Space Bridge.

* Emerging from Ironhide’s deep freeze, Starscream is colored like Thundercracker.

* As Shockwave and a Reflector soldier unload the Space Bridge’s shipment of Energon cubes, the Energon is not filled with an illumination effect, and appear as solid black bars.

* The nitrogen pack that Ironhide uses in Shockwave’s control center is labeled "NITRGEN". And, Ironhide shouldn’t have to use a pack since he has a built in liquid nitrogen projector.

* When the Decepticons exit their base to attack the Autobots, an fourth Decepticon jet is shown. Later, an extreme close-up of one of the jets' weapons shows a red "rainmaker".

* When the Autobot away team races back to Shockwave’s tower, Ironhide is painted with Trailbreaker’s colors, making him resemble a Diaclone incarnation of his toy.

* After returning to Earth, Bluestreak emerges from the Space Bridge painted as Prowl, but without police lights.

* In the carnage of the battle, a prone form of Ironhide is colored with Ratchet’s white and red hue (Ratchet’s inside the Ark) and Sideswipe has Shockwave’s colors.

===Continuity Errors===
* Optimus Prime somehow deflects a heat-seeking missile by hitting it with his arm.
* Chip Chase's superhuman abilities shine in this episode: he knows Cybertronian technology better than Autobots, who have only had millions of years to get used to it. He knows how to find the Space Bridge better than Optimus can, since Chip thinks to use Teletraan-1, a tactic that somehow escaped Prime. Chase can crack a Cybertronian lock, and he is immune to Cybertronian acid rain.

===Transformers References===
* The Space Bridge, first appeared in [[Transport to Oblivion]], reappears in this episode.
* The tetrahedron seeker jets return, which first appeared in [[More Than Meets The Eye, Part 1]].

===Real-World References===
* A cosmotron is a real-world particle physics accelerator.

===Miscellaneous trivia===

* Reflector displays an odd ability in this episode: he can absorb his fellow units into his body.

* Reflector can emit a light that shorts out optic sensors

* Ironhide's wrists can emit liquid glop launchers that trap the Decepticons to the surface with a thick adhesive.

* A trio of seekers on Cybertron include a neon green one, a gunmetal bluegray one, and a lemony yellow one.

* Autobots have built-in repair systems.

* Sideswipe is capable of emitting a smokescreen from his chest ... for little effect.

* The Transformers have a personal battle code where customs dictate personal challenges be settled in personal combat.

* Cybertron has an atmosphere breathable by humans.

* The chapter stops on the Rhino DVD version of this episode are Opening / Weapon Factories / Off to Cybertron / New Age of Decepticons / Fight For Optimus / Optimus Saved!

* The Autobot Matrix of Leadership is nowhere to be found on Prime's chest when Wheeljack and Ratchet are repairing him.

The blast tears through Prime, and the Decepticons take advantage of his weakened state to nail him. Prime collapses under fire.

The seekers hear the approach of the other Autobots, and following Megatron’s orders, rereat with the [[Energon cube]]s. The Autobots find Prime’s badly damaged form and take it back to base. Prime’s power relays are fused. His mobility limited. His speech… slow… and labored. Part replacement… essential….

Wanting to confirm Prime’s condition, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] dispatches [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] to the Ark to spy on [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]’s efforts to repair Prime. Optimus’ [[electro-pulse]] is fading. At Megatron’s command, Laserbeak attacks the incredibly vulnerable Prime, tearing into his exposed chest cavity and causing a tremendous explosion.

'''Act Two:''' It’s more smoke and sparks than fiery blast, and Prime survives the explosion, though his energy is fading fast. His very laser core is at risk of snuffing out, and Ratchet needs a [[cosmotron]] to keep his Prime’s levels from draining. Wheeljack only knows of one in existence, but it’s in his shop back on Cybertron, which the Decepticons had placed under a computerized lock. The Autobots need to get back to their homeworld and pick this lock. Naturally, Chip Chase is the only one of them familiar enough with Cybertronian computers to make this possible.

Chip uses [[Teletraan-1]] to do what Optimus could not: triangulate the likely coordinates for the Space Bridge’s next appearance. Following Chip’s detective work, the Autobots drive into the woods and discover the Space Bridge site. Starscream and Rumble oversee the transport of a shuttle module filled with Energon Cubes, with a hapless [[Reflector]]-type soldier sent to pilot it across the gulf of interstellar space. With the Autobot’s arrival, a fray breaks out – and so does a sudden thunderstorm.

Surprisingly, Megatron (who has been monitoring the battle) orders the Decepticons to let the Autobots win. The thunderstorm has given him an idea, but he does not elaborate. The Autobots -- [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]], [[Trailbreaker]] and [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] -- drive into the Space Bridge and are teleported to Shockwave’s tower. They blast their way past a shocked Shockwave and into Cybertron’s streets. Megatron orders the Cybertronian seekers to destroy the Autobot infiltrators with acid rain.

At [[Wheeljack’s shop]], Chip works his way past the locking mechanism, and Ironhide instantly finds the cosmotron. Outside, a trio of seekers somehow seed the clouds over the workshop so they produce incredibly debilitating [[acid rain]].

'''Act Three:''' The acid rain shorts the circuitry of the Autobots, who collapse at the touch of the deadly downpour. Chip is immune to the rain’s effects, and implores the Autobots to continue. Trailbreaker musters up the energy to project his force-field, sheltering the Autobots from the rain, giving their automatic repair systems time to kick in. Bluestreak fires some blasts into the clouds overhead, dispersing the rainmaking seekers and the toxic clouds. Rejuvenated, the Autobots return to Shockwave’s tower and ride the Space Bridge back to Earth.

On Earth, Megatron recognizes that without Prime, the conquest of the Autobots is a foregone conclusion. He leads an attack on the Ark. The Autobots recognize the hopeless battle up ahead, but Spike musters up the courage. He grabs [[Jazz]]’s rifle and rallies the troops. He even manages to inspire perpetual downer Huffer to take charge.

An enormous battle breaks out in front of the Ark, just as the Autobot mission returns from Cybertron. Chip and Spike race the cosmotron to Prime. Optimus emerges in time to personally challenge Megatron. Prime is victorious, and the Decepticons retreat.

==Notable Quotes==

“I think Laserbeak’s chicken!” – Skywarp

“He’s doomed. I know it. I can feel it in my databank.” – Huffer, hoping the best for a dying Prime.

"I knew it was hopeless, I just knew..." - Huffer again, before Ironhide shut him up good.

“They sure don’t build them like that anymore.” Sparkplug

“Just like Sherlock Holmes with floppy disks!” – Spike, hopelessly over his head when it comes to computer talk.

“Hey! Who you callin’ clumsy, Gasket-Breath?” – Rumble

“No one’s really disabled as long as he has courage.” – Chip Chase, and that’s one to grow on.

“I’m sorry, Spike. Sometimes nothing you do makes any difference.” – Sparkplug to Spike, which, if you don’t read as the ‘royal’ you, is actually kind of mean and funny.

==Other notes==

===Animation and/or technical glitches===
* Due to a mix-up in animation models, the green-uniformed human soldiers protecting the weapons factory in one shot turn into hard-hat wearing factory workers in another shot

* A teleporting Skywarp is mistakenly colored with Starscream’s colors, and then Thundercracker’s colors.

* A peculiar design in one shot has Optimus Prime’s cab face sport a 45-degree slope.

* When the Autobots are shown talking to Optimus, and later arriving at the factory, Bumblebee is the only yellow Autobot shown. However, when the Aubots transform to go to the factory, Sunstreaker is shown transforming instead of Bumblebee.

* Because the background art moves around to simulate a camera tilt, the foreground animation of Prime’s trailer receding into the background looks instead like it is shrinking into nothingness in midair.

* Before Brawn enters the room where Optimus Prime is being worked on, he is shown standing inside.

* There’s a big nasty S-shaped hair in the center of the screen as Wheeljack describes his shop on Cybertron.

* At the Space Bridge site, the camera pans across the scenery, but a painted foreground tree travels with the move, making it look like the tree is mobile.

* Four Reflectors are shown when preparing the Space Bridge (though it could be argued it is a separate Reflector-like Decepticon).

* Rumble blinks out for a few moments when the Autobots arrive at the Space Bridge.

* Emerging from Ironhide’s deep freeze, Starscream is colored like Thundercracker.

* As Shockwave and a Reflector soldier unload the Space Bridge’s shipment of Energon cubes, the Energon is not filled with an illumination effect, and appear as solid black bars.

* The nitrogen pack that Ironhide uses in Shockwave’s control center is labeled "NITRGEN". And, Ironhide shouldn’t have to use a pack since he has a built in liquid nitrogen projector.

* When the Decepticons exit their base to attack the Autobots, an fourth Decepticon jet is shown. Later, an extreme close-up of one of the jets' weapons shows a red "rainmaker".

* When the Autobot away team races back to Shockwave’s tower, Ironhide is painted with Trailbreaker’s colors, making him resemble a Diaclone incarnation of his toy.

* After returning to Earth, Bluestreak emerges from the Space Bridge painted as Prowl, but without police lights.

* In the carnage of the battle, a prone form of Ironhide is colored with Ratchet’s white and red hue (Ratchet’s inside the Ark) and Sideswipe has Shockwave’s colors.

===Continuity Errors===
* Optimus Prime somehow deflects a heat-seeking missile by hitting it with his arm.
* Chip Chase's superhuman abilities shine in this episode: he knows Cybertronian technology better than Autobots, who have only had millions of years to get used to it. He knows how to find the Space Bridge better than Optimus can, since Chip thinks to use Teletraan-1, a tactic that somehow escaped Prime. Chase can crack a Cybertronian lock, and he is immune to Cybertronian acid rain.

* The Space Bridge, first appeared in [[Transport to Oblivion]], reappears in this episode.
* The trapezoidal seeker jets return, which first appeared in [[More Than Meets The Eye, Part 1]].

===Real-World References===
* A cosmotron is a real-world particle physics accelerator.

===Miscellaneous trivia===

* Reflector displays an odd ability in this episode: he can absorb his fellow units into his body.

* Reflector can emit a light that shorts out optic sensors

* Ironhide's wrists can emit liquid glop launchers that trap the Decepticons to the surface with a thick adhesive.

* A trio of seekers on Cybertron include a neon green one, a gunmetal bluegray one, and a lemony yellow one.

* Autobots have built-in repair systems.

* Sideswipe is capable of emitting a smokescreen from his chest ... for little effect.

* The Transformers have a personal battle code where customs dictate personal challenges be settled in personal combat.

* Cybertron has an atmosphere breathable by humans.

* The chapter stops on the Rhino DVD version of this episode are Opening / Weapon Factories / Off to Cybertron / New Age of Decepticons / Fight For Optimus / Optimus Saved!

* The Autobot Matrix of Leadership is nowhere to be found on Prime's chest when Wheeljack and Ratchet are repairing him.

'''[[Generation 1 (cartoon)|Generation One]] > [[Generation 1 (cartoon)#Season 1|Season 1]]'''

[[Autobots]] must journey to [[Cybertron]] to retrieve a vital piece of technology to save the life of an ailing [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]].

==Detailed synopsis==

'''Act One:''' [[Earth]] factories are busily preparing weaponry for use against the [[Decepticon]] menace. [[Chip Chase]] is inspecting one such facility, where the administrators hope he can develop new methods to improve the efficiency of weapons production. The Decepticon [[seeker]] jets suddenly attack the factory, breaching its walls and landing inside. They begin draining the factory of its energy, but have not noticed Chip, who sends out a distress signal to the Autobots.

[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Spike]] are on a search mission, fruitlessly looking for any trace of the Decepticon [[Space Bridge]]. Prime intercepts Chip’s call for help, and orders the Autobots at the [[Ark]] to meet him at the munitions plant. Prime arrives at the scene first, and is outnumbered three-to-one. A stray shot hits one of the massive computer banks, which begins a critical meltdown and overload. Prime attempts to shield the humans from the inevitable explosion with his own body. The blast tears through Prime, and the Decepticons take advantage of his weakened state to nail him. Prime collapses under fire.

The seekers hear the approach of the other Autobots, and following Megatron’s orders, rereat with the [[Energon cube]]s. The Autobots find Prime’s badly damaged form and take it back to base.

{{disambig2|the Sector Seven organization itself|the alternate reality game based on it|Sector Seven (game)}}
:''Sector Seven is a [[human]] organization in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]]. It doesn't run on "feelings."''

[[Image:Sector7logo.png|thumb|NOT Area 51, got it?]]

{{quote|We're the government. Sector Seven.}}{{quote|Never heard of it.}}{{quote|Never will.|Agent Simmons and Ron Witwicky}}

'''Sector Seven''' is a secret [[United States of America|American]] government agency, which deals with extraterrestrial technology and threats.

It is so secret, it has its own [http://www.sectorseven.org/ secret website].

''Sector Seven sometimes operates through the front company '''S7 Industries'''.''

==Fiction==

===sectorseven.org===

Sector Seven was founded over 100 years ago by a group of seven men:

*Stanford Julius Morehouse
*Edgar Thibedeau Westfield
*Neville Octavian Brewster
*Percy Emerson Whitting
*Wallace Wilson Clairmont
*Alistair Jennings Crowther
*Vance Milhaus Lawson

They are known as "The First Seven," and are said to have "hid the past to protect the future,"<ref>Names originally revealed via Agent X's website. Page mirrored [http://ebucehtdnif.wikibruce.com/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/317526-AE0/ here.] </ref> whatever that means. Their portraits adorn a wall in the lobby of the present day Sector Seven headquarters, as a [[B11-9981|local pizza boy]] can attest.

In 2007, after the detection of a "blip" that matched their "threat profile," Agent [[Alexander Powers]] informed the organization that war may be imminent and that they were humanity's only hope. He and research scientist [[Rebecca Howard]], ex-lovers, clashed several times over her desire to go public with information about the [[N.B.E.]] threat and seek assistance from other nations. This escalated with the detection of "N.B.E. Two," with whom Dr. Howard argued in favor of making contact.

Meanwhile, the mysterious [[Agent X]] began hacking into the Sector Seven network and leaking information to the public. {{storylink|Sector Seven (game)|Sector Seven ARG}}

=== IDW Movie Prequel comic ===

*Apparently, Sector Seven has been around for a very long time; certainly, an existing group has been around since before Sam Witwicky's Grandfather encountered the [[Megatron (Movie)|''Mega-Man'']] underneath the arctic ice. Upon hearing his story Sector Seven immediately went into action to seize his find and discredit the story.

*Interestingly, even this older version of Sector Seven has a number of interesting artifacts in their collection. These include pictures and a skull from a "triclops" life form of some kind, a severed bestial arm in a jar (possibly from a version of the Beast Wars, although the sketch is difficult to make out and mechanics may not be incorporated) and what could possibly be a fragment of the [[Golden Disk]]. Most intriguing indeed.

=== Ghosts of Yesterday novel ===

*'''1969''' - Sector Seven (headed by [[Walter Simmons]], known internally as "The Old Man"), attempted the first test flight of an [[Megatron (Movie)|Ice Man]]-derived spacecraft ([[Ghost 1]]) using the Apollo 11 moon launch as cover. Unexpected complications occurred following contact with [[NBE]]s. At the same time the first attempt was made to relocate the Ice Man himself from the Arctic to southern Nevada to be better studied alongside a likewise mysterious [[All Spark|"alien cube"]]. Signs seemed to point to Sector Seven begining to shift from being a secret U.S. military protocol to a non-military "black ops" program. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday}}

=== ''Transformers'' (2007) ===

==Equipment==
As an exceptionally well-funded secret government organisation, Sector Seven is at the cutting edge of human (or alien-derived) technology in their quest to better understand the Ice Man, the Cube, and to seek other N.B.E.s on Earth.

====Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit====
[[Image:Sectorsevenmobilecommandunit.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Nothing to see here. Move along.]]

To counter public suspicion and the information about the N.B.E.s leaked by Agent X, Sector Seven employed a [[Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit|mass disinformation program in the form of a road tour]] at various cinemas across America. Black Peterbilt cabover trucks pull large, armoured trailers containing sophisticated communications and scanning equipment, as well as a small cage for containing any [[Frenzy (Movie)|captured N.B.E.s]] assigned agents happen to find. However, the communications equipment aboard these trailers are frequently susceptible to displaying emergency communiques from Sector Seven Command showing a very well-edited and scored satellite video feed of an [[Scorponok (Movie)|alien robot attack]] in [[Qatar]], usually in the presence of ordinary civilians.

{{-}}

====M9-2 Harpoon Gun====
[[Image:M9-2_Harpoon_Gun.jpg|thumb|right|250px|After this, lets go shoot some baby seals.]]

The [[M9-2 Harpoon Gun]] is a weapon developed by Sector Seven, under the direction of [[Rebecca Howard]]. The intial protoype was completed in 2003. Featuring an armor-piercing projectile that weighs 21.2 kilograms, the weapon has a range of 55 meters with a muzzle velocity of 324 meters per second.

Primative by N.B.E. standards, the weapon is nevertheless effective at subduing non-hostile [[Bumblebee (Movie)|aliens]] and contain them for cryo-freezing.

{{-}}

====Pursuit van====
[[Image:Movie_SectorSeven_van.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Who took the doughnuts?]]

Once an N.B.E. has been located within range of Sector Seven field units, Mobile teams are sent out in pursuit vans to intercept and capture them (alive if possible). Equipped with the standard array of sophisticated communications equipment one comes to expect from Sector Seven, the vans are armed with a passenger-side M9-2 harpoon gun and generally carry a squad of troops armed with portable cryo-freezing units.

{{-}}

====AH-64 Apache attack helicopter====
[[Image:Movie_SectorSeven_Apache.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Airwolf in action.]]

Sector Seven uses modified [[Popular alternate modes (Earth vehicles)#AH-64 Apache copter|AH-64 Apache helicopters]] fitted with cryo-stasis rocket pods to capture N.B.E.s

{{-}}

====SUV====
[[Image:Movie_SectorSevenSUV_smash.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Damn this gas guzzler. Which I as an American have a right to own.]]

For operations within urban/suburban zones or for human targets, Sector Seven agents travel in custom black GMC Yukons. They do not hold up well to being lifted by their roofs by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|large N.B.E.s]], nor can they withstand [[electromagnetic pulse]]s.

One of these SUVs in the form of a Cadillac Escalade was hit by [[All Spark]] energy, and became the [[Decepticon]] [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]].

:''('''Note''': These SUVs also appear in [[Transformers The Game|the console version of the Transformers movie game]].)''

Sector Seven

{{disambig2|the Sector Seven organization itself|the alternate reality game based on it|Sector Seven (game)}}
:''Sector Seven is a [[human]] organization in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]]. It doesn't run on "feelings."''

[[Image:Sector7logo.png|thumb|NOT Area 51]]

{{quote|We're the government. Sector Seven.}}{{quote|Never heard of it.}}{{quote|Never will.|Agent Simmons and Ron Witwicky}}

'''Sector Seven''' is a secret [[United States of America|American]] government agency, which deals with extraterrestrial technology and threats.

It is so secret, it has its own [http://www.sectorseven.org/ secret website].

''Sector Seven sometimes operates through the front company '''S7 Industries'''.''

==Fiction==

===sectorseven.org===

Sector Seven was founded over 100 years ago by a group of seven men:

*Stanford Julius Morehouse
*Edgar Thibedeau Westfield
*Neville Octavian Brewster
*Percy Emerson Whitting
*Wallace Wilson Clairmont
*Alistair Jennings Crowther
*Vance Milhaus Lawson

They are known as "The First Seven," and are said to have "hid the past to protect the future,"<ref>Names originally revealed via Agent X's website. Page mirrored [http://ebucehtdnif.wikibruce.com/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/317526-AE0/ here.] </ref> whatever that means. Their portraits adorn a wall in the lobby of the present day Sector Seven headquarters, as a [[B11-9981|local pizza boy]] can attest.

In 2007, after the detection of a "blip" that matched their "threat profile," Agent [[Alexander Powers]] informed the organization that war may be imminent and that they were humanity's only hope. He and research scientist [[Rebecca Howard]], ex-lovers, clashed several times over her desire to go public with information about the [[N.B.E.]] threat and seek assistance from other nations. This escalated with the detection of "N.B.E. Two," with whom Dr. Howard argued in favor of making contact.

Meanwhile, the mysterious [[Agent X]] began hacking into the Sector Seven network and leaking information to the public. {{storylink|Sector Seven (game)|Sector Seven ARG}}

=== IDW Movie Prequel comic ===

*Apparently, Sector Seven has been around for a very long time; certainly, an existing group has been around since before Sam Witwicky's Grandfather encountered the [[Megatron (Movie)|''Mega-Man'']] underneath the arctic ice. Upon hearing his story Sector Seven immediately went into action to seize his find and discredit the story.

*Interestingly, even this older version of Sector Seven has a number of interesting artifacts in their collection. These include pictures and a skull from a "triclops" life form of some kind, a severed bestial arm in a jar (possibly from a version of the Beast Wars, although the sketch is difficult to make out and mechanics may not be incorporated) and what could possibly be a fragment of the [[Golden Disk]]. Most intriguing indeed.

=== Ghosts of Yesterday novel ===

*'''1969''' - Sector Seven (headed by [[Walter Simmons]], known internally as "The Old Man"), attempted the first test flight of an [[Megatron (Movie)|Ice Man]]-derived spacecraft ([[Ghost 1]]) using the Apollo 11 moon launch as cover. Unexpected complications occurred following contact with [[NBE]]s. At the same time the first attempt was made to relocate the Ice Man himself from the Arctic to southern Nevada to be better studied alongside a likewise mysterious [[All Spark|"alien cube"]]. Signs seemed to point to Sector Seven begining to shift from being a secret U.S. military protocol to a non-military "black ops" program. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday}}

=== ''Transformers'' (2007) ===

==Equipment==
As an exceptionally well-funded secret government organisation, Sector Seven is at the cutting edge of human (or alien-derived) technology in their quest to better understand the Ice Man, the Cube, and to seek other N.B.E.s on Earth.

====Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit====
[[Image:Sectorsevenmobilecommandunit.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Nothing to see here. Move along.]]

To counter public suspicion and the information about the N.B.E.s leaked by Agent X, Sector Seven employed a [[Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit|mass disinformation program in the form of a road tour]] at various cinemas across America. Black Peterbilt cabover trucks pull large, armoured trailers containing sophisticated communications and scanning equipment, as well as a small cage for containing any [[Frenzy (Movie)|captured N.B.E.s]] assigned agents happen to find. However, the communications equipment aboard these trailers are frequently susceptible to displaying emergency communiques from Sector Seven Command showing a very well-edited and scored satellite video feed of an [[Scorponok (Movie)|alien robot attack]] in [[Qatar]], usually in the presence of ordinary civilians.

{{-}}

====M9-2 Harpoon Gun====
[[Image:M9-2_Harpoon_Gun.jpg|thumb|right|250px|After this, lets go shoot some baby seals.]]

The [[M9-2 Harpoon Gun]] is a weapon developed by Sector Seven, under the direction of [[Rebecca Howard]]. The intial protoype was completed in 2003. Featuring an armor-piercing projectile that weighs 21.2 kilograms, the weapon has a range of 55 meters with a muzzle velocity of 324 meters per second.

Primative by N.B.E. standards, the weapon is nevertheless effective at subduing non-hostile [[Bumblebee (Movie)|aliens]] and contain them for cryo-freezing.

{{-}}

====Pursuit van====
[[Image:Movie_SectorSeven_van.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Who took the doughnuts?]]

Once an N.B.E. has been located within range of Sector Seven field units, Mobile teams are sent out in pursuit vans to intercept and capture them (alive if possible). Equipped with the standard array of sophisticated communications equipment one comes to expect from Sector Seven, the vans are armed with a passenger-side M9-2 harpoon gun and generally carry a squad of troops armed with portable cryo-freezing units.

{{-}}

====AH-64 Apache attack helicopter====
[[Image:Movie_SectorSeven_Apache.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Airwolf in action.]]

Sector Seven uses modified [[Popular alternate modes (Earth vehicles)#AH-64 Apache copter|AH-64 Apache helicopters]] fitted with cryo-stasis rocket pods to capture N.B.E.s

{{-}}

====SUV====
[[Image:Movie_SectorSevenSUV_smash.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Damn this gas guzzler. Which I as an American have a right to own.]]

For operations within urban/suburban zones or for human targets, Sector Seven agents travel in custom black GMC Yukons. They do not hold up well to being lifted by their roofs by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|large N.B.E.s]], nor can they withstand [[electromagnetic pulse]]s.

One of these SUVs in the form of a Cadillac Escalade was hit by [[All Spark]] energy, and became the [[Decepticon]] [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]].

Optimus Prime (RID)

2007-09-05T20:53:03Z

70.126.222.245: /* Robots in Disguise */

{{disambig3|Optimus Prime}}

:''Optimus Prime is the [[Autobot]] leader from the [[Robots in Disguise]] continuity.''

[[Image:RIDPrime02.jpg|thumb|250px|Ironically, filled with blazing justice.]]

'''Optimus Prime''' is a stern and serious commander, devoted to protecting freedom and innocent life. He has seen the galactic path of conquest and destruction already burned by [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]] and swears it will not include [[Earth]]. Optimus Prime often finds himself in the role of "straight man" to the more comic stylings of the other Autobots and [[Predacon]]s, and tends to treat their humorous exaggerations or personality quirks as statements of straightforward fact. His subordinates view him as a great leader, if stubborn and much too prone to long speeches. Befitting his namesake, Optimus Prime's greatest weakness is his sense of nobility. If an adversary claims to have had a change of heart and discovered inner goodness, Prime will fall for it every single time.

''Japanese Name:'' '''Fire Convoy'''

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
====''Robots in Disguise''====
'''Voice actor:''' ''[[Neil Kaplan]] (US)'', ''[[Satoshi Hashimoto]] (Japan)''

Optimus Prime was created, along with [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]], by [[Alpha Trion]]. The two of them were raised together, and thus, saw each other as brothers. However, this relationship was torn apart after the Cybertron Civil Wars, whereupon the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] chose Optimus Prime to command the Autobots in stopping the [[Predacon (RID)|Predacon]] leader [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]] from ravaging the universe in his quest for energy. Ultra Magnus left Cybertron that same day, bitter and spiteful of his brother.

Prime soon struck up command on [[Earth]], where he took the form of a fire truck. Operating out of a secret base in [[Metro City]], he and his fellow Autobots were more than ready to face Megatron and his Predacons. The conflict began when Megatron appeared in New York, attempting to kidnap the famous scientist [[Doctor Onishi]]. Optimus struck up a friendship with Onishi's son, [[Koji Onishi|Koji]], and despite not being able to save the boy's father, vowed that he would help rescue him.

In the events that followed, Prime was forced to deal with the Predacons' many energy-grabbing schemes, either personally, or indirectly by way of helping [[T-AI]] coordinate the movement of his troops by way of the [[space bridge|Global Space Bridge]].

However, Prime soon found another threat, in the form of the Decepticons - namely, one named [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]]. Scourge was a corrupted Autobot [[protoform]], who, in addition to being infused with Megatron's evil, scanned Optimus Prime and a tanker truck at the same time, resulting in his looking like a twisted clone of the Autobot leader. Prime hoped that Scourge and his fellow Decepticons would one day be restored to their true Autobot selves, but after the Decepticons themselves tried to use this to trick him, he decided he should not allow this to cloud his judgement.

Matters escalated when Ultra Magnus appeared on Earth, making his desire to take the Matrix from Optimus Prime known to his "brother." Optimus refused to fight Magnus, and was thus, mercilessly fired upon, until [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]], [[Prowl (RID)|Prowl]], and [[X-Brawn]] arrived to carry him away. Prime took refuge on a deserted island, but the Decepticons, Megatron, and Magnus both tracked him there. In the midst of the battle, Magnus forcibly activated their ability to combine into [[Omega Prime]], intending to use it to drain Prime of his energy so he could take the Matrix, but Optimus managed to take control and use their combination to stop the Decepticons. This fusion apparently resulted in both Autobots sharing the Matrix's power, which led to Magnus's attitude softening towards his brother.

Eventually, it was revealed that Megatron's true purpose on Earth was to take control of the massive Autobot, [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]]. These events led to Megatron becoming the more powerful Galvatron, who eventually devastated the Autobot forces. In his final battle with the evil leader, Prime and Magnus combined into Omega Prime to face Galvatron at the Earth's core. They were seemingly no match for him, until Fortress Maximus sent them his power, which energized the Matrix, forming the giant weapon, the [[Matrix Blade]]. Galvatron was defeated, and with that, the Autobots' mission on Earth was finished, and Prime resolved to return to Cybertron - but not before "one last look around" with Koji and the rest of his team.

*'''Super Fire Convoy''' (2000)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-001'''

: RID Optimus Prime transforms into a Japanese Hino Brandlier fire truck. Harkening back to Generation 1 toys, he features chromed wheels with rubber tires. The forward section of his truck detaches to become his standard robot mode. His 'trailer' can be reconfigured into a sort of battle station. The station can then be disassembled and attached around the robot to form his Battle Mode. He can combine with [[Ultra_Magnus_(RID)|Ultra Magnus]] to form Omega Prime.

: The original Japanese Car Robots release differs from the US version in that it has a darker, metallic-flake plastic, and has no Autobot symbols tampo-printed on the shoulder pads. Obviously, the voice clips used for the Japanese toy are also different. Additionally, the US version has the unfortunately tendency for its rubber tires to split down its molding connection. Furthermore, Fire Convoy's missles are of a different mold on the Japanese toy, and he is able to fire (if by "Fire" you mean "have-them-fling-up-into-the-air-and-fall-to-the-ground-instantly") all of his missiles at once if the special trigger for his ladder missiles are hit, along with the ability to fire one missile at a time. The US version only allows for one missile to be fired at a time when they are activated.

Hot Rod (G1)/toys

2007-09-04T23:54:10Z

70.126.222.245: /* Choro Q */

[[Hot Rod]] is a bot of many toys!

==Toys==

===Generation 1===
* '''Hot Rod''' (Autobot Car, 1986/2000/2002)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-78'''

[[Image:Rodimusmajor.jpg|200px|right|thumb|This is totally what automobiles will look like in the far-flung future of 2005.]]

: Hot Rod was one of the first toys designed specifically for the ''Transformers'' toyline, versus being an imported pre-existing toy. Designer [[Floro Dery]] created Hot Rod for the animated film and then the toy was created from his model sheet. (The model sheet would be altered further after the toy was completed.) Hot Rod transforms from a robot into a "futuristic" hot rod sportscar based on the Nissan Dome Zero racecar designed in 1978. His robot mode bears some resemblance to Bandai's [http://www.robot-japan.com/Gallery/Bandai/SOC/GX23/Zambot-soc.asp Super Robot Zanbo Ace] and may have been partially inspired by it. The toy comes with two rifles. There are two versions of this toy; initial releases have die-cast (unpainted) metal feet, while later shipments use black plastic.

: In 2000, [[Takara]] re-released the Hot Rod toy, having had to retro-[[retool]] it from the [[Targetmaster]] release. In 2002, [[Hasbro]] released it as part of the Toys 'R' Us [[exclusive]] [[Commemorative Series]] line as '''Rodimus Major'''. Both versions use die-cast metal for his feet.

: The same mold is used by [[Black Rodimus (G1)|Black Rodimus]].

* '''Rodimus Prime''' (Autobot Hero, 1986/2004)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-77'''

[[Image:G1_RodimusPrime_toy.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Try campin' out in this]]

: Rodimus Prime was designed in much the same way as Hot Rod. Rodimus transforms from a robot and battle platform into a futuristicky Winnebago camper. The toy comes with a "Photon eliminator" rifle and two blast shields to attach to either side of his battle platform's cannon. (The yellow spoiler was also to be removed and replaced during transformation.) Like Hot Rod, there are materials variations; initial releases have metal toes with rubber tires, while latter shipments replaced both with black plastic.

: The metal-toes/rubber-ties version of the toy saw re-release in both Japan and the US in 2004.

: This mold was later redecoed as a lucky draw prize [[Primus]].

{{-}}

* '''Hot Rod w/ Firebolt''' (Targetmaster, 1987/2004)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-110''', '''TFC-13'''

[[Image:G1_TMHotRod_toy.jpg|thumb|right|200px|]]

: Hot Rod was re-released with his new [[Nebulan]] [[Targetmaster]] partner [[Firebolt (G1)|Firebolt]] a year after the original release. The toy was [[retool]]ed to have larger pegholes in his fists and his engine block so the Targetmaster gun would fit. Latter versions of this toy retooled his lower legs to minimize the scraping of his thigh decals.

: Takara reissued Targetmaster Hot Rod in 2004 as sort of an "ultimate" version, with metal toes (the original versions all used plastic) and the twin rifles from the non-Targetmaster version.

{{-}}

* '''Star Convoy w/ Hot Rodimus''' (Autobot, 1991/2005)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-372'''

[[Image:Hotrodmicromaster.jpg|80px|left|thumb|Shrinkage!]]

: Available only with [[Optimus Prime (G1)#Battlestars: Return of Convoy (Japan-only)|Star Convoy]], Hot Rod's [[Micromaster]] form is a simplified version of his original toy, transforming into the same futuristic race car. In 2005, Star Convoy was re-released with several deco changes; among them, the decals used on Hot Rod were changed to [[paint applications]].

{{-}}

*'''Crystal Rodimus''' (Autobot Car, 2001)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-78C'''

: One of the earliest [[e-Hobby]] exclusives, "Crystal" Rodimus uses the reissue Hot Rod mold, but cast almost entirely in transparent plastics. He was availbale only in a set with the evil clone [[Black Rodimus (G1)|Black Rodimus]].

===Choro Q===
[[Image:Choro_Q_Rodimus.jpg|right|thumb|Now he tries to be like Energon Optimus too.]]
*'''Rodimus Convoy'''
: Transforming super deformed version of Rodimus Convoy containing a pull back motor.

===Classics===
*'''Rodimus''' (Deluxe, 2006)
[[Image:Rodimusclassics.jpg|200px|left|thumb|This is what cars will look like in the far flung year of 1978!]]

: ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' Rodimus is a sleeker, more streamlined version of the original, now transforming into a heavily-altered Dome Zero, a [http://www.supercarnet.jp/File/File-Japan/File-Dome.htm futuristic race car from 1978]. His rear-mounted thruster engine becomes a hand-held weapon in robot mode, launching a spring-loaded missile. His left arm also hides a flip-out "comm unit" that is clearly supposed to be the buzzsaw he used for a brief period in [[The Transformers: The Movie (1986)|the Movie]].

: In a twist of delicious buttery fandom irony, Classics Rodimus has elements that were introduced in his [[Rodimus (Energon)|''Energon'' namesake]], making him a somewhat backwards-[[homage]]. His face also appears to take visual cues from how he was drawn by [[Derek Yaniger]] in the [[Generation 2 (Marvel comic)|''Generation 2'' comic book]].

{{-}}

===Titanium Series===
*'''Rodimus''' (3-inch Robot Masters, 2006)
[[Image:TitaniumRM_Rodimus.jpg|right|thumb|120px|"Three-inch Rod" is its own joke.]]

: ''Titanium'' Rodimus is a 3 inch tall, non-transforming, die-cast metal figuerine. He has limited articulation, localized in his head, shoulders and waist. His gun (which looks an ''awful'' lot like Firebolt) is also removable. Excitement!

*'''Rodimus Prime''' (6-inch Cybertron Heroes, 2007)
[[Image:TitaniumHeroRodimus_toy.jpg|left|thumb|Wannabango... ''of the '''future'''!!!'']]

: ''Titanium Cybertron Heroes'' Rodimus Prime is a mostly die-cast metal transforming toy based loosely upon the original ''Generation 1'' Rodimus Prime toy. He features much greater articulation and bulkier body proportions.

: Unlike the original toy which separated into a robot and a battle station, the entire vehicle mode of the 6-inch ''Titanium'' version transforms into the robot mode. As with ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' Rodimus, ''Titanium'' Rodimus Prime takes some visual cues from the ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' version of the character in addition to the original toy and the animation model... ''and'' the actual ''Classics'' Rodimus toy, such as the engine-block dickie.

===Kiss Players===
*'''Hot Rodimus X SyaoSyao''' (Kiss Players, 2006)
[[Image:KPHotRodimus.jpg|right|thumb|The fishing rod turns into arm blasters. The girl eats dumplings.]]

: ''[[Kiss Players]]'' Hot Rodimus is a retool and redeco of the ''[[Alternators]]'' [[Mirage]] toy, transforming into a red Ford GT. His engine becomes a pair of pistols that double as tonfa weapons, and his fishing rod can be taken apart and reassembled to create a triple-barreled arm-mounted blaster reminiscent of the original Hot Rod's exhaust pipe weapons. His new head sculpt includes a retractable visor patterned after the one used in the movie.

:The toy also included a PVC figurine of the character's "Kiss Player" partner [[Shaoshao Li]] and a bamboo dumpling steamer.

{{-}}

===Alternators===
*'''Rodimus''' (Alternators, 2007)

: ''[[Alternators]]'' Rodimus is an exclusive figure, released at SDCC in July 2007. It is a repaint of Kiss Players Hot Rodimus, which itself is a remold of Alternators [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]]. The figure uses the same head mold introduced in the Kiss Players figure, retaining the original's visor gimmick. The deco has been altered by changing the side striping from white to yellow, while the stripes over the hood, roof and trunk have been eliminated altogether, replaced by a Hot Rod-style flame graphic on the hood and front guards. Most of the Kiss Player deco remains in robot mode, including the yellow hands and flame graphics on the forearms, however the license plates (located at the knees in robot mode) have been changed to read "TOO HOT". Rodimus' weapons are the dual pistols/tonfa seen with both Mirage and Hot Rodimus, however his Kiss Player counterpart's fishing rod/eliminator and dumpling steamer weapons were not included in the Alternators release. They left [[Shaoshao Li|the girl]] out too.

===Robot Heroes===
[[Image:Robot_Hero_Rodimus.jpg|150px|right|thumb|Light our cutest hour.]]
*'''Rodimus Vs Insecticon''' (2007)
Rodimus is a two inch high figure sculpted in super deformed style with articulation at the shoulders.

{{-}}

==Merchandise==
*'''Rodimus Convoy''' (Super Collection Figure, 2002)

*'''Rodimus Convoy''' (Mega Super Collection Figure, 2002)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''Mega SCF-06'''
[[Image:MegaSCFRodimus.jpg|left|thumb|90px|''YOU!'' Yeah, you! Say that again ''to my face'', you son of a--!]]

''Mega SCF'' Rodimus Convoy is a 5 inch tall non-transforming, articulated PVC action figure based upon the cartoon model. He comes with four sets of hands and a 'Photon Eliminator' rifle.

*'''Hot Rodimus''' (Mega Super Collection Figure, 2002)

*'''Rodimus Prime''' (Heroes of Cybertron, 2003)

{{-}}

==Trivia==

[[Image: Pinkrod.jpg|right|thumb|What do you want to do tonight, Brain?]]

* The original Hot Rod toy was initially cast in a pinker plastic similar to the color of his animation model. For unknown reasons, this was later changed to a decidedly less [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] red before release, but the earlier version of the toy is visible in the original 1986 Hasbro toy catalogue, and the televised [[Sharkticon]] toy advert.

[[Image:TFGRodimus.jpg|left|100px|thumb|"I fight fire with fire, baby!"]]

* A new Rodimus Prime was devised for the 1991-1992 lineup, however this one did not leave the drawing board. He was to be a fire truck, apparently with a design in the spirit of [[Optimus Prime (G1) #Battlestars 2|Star Convoy]] and with transformation scheme similar to [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]].
