:''Kremzeek is an electrical life-form in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]]''.

'''Kremzeek''' is a bastard.

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
[[Image:Kremzeek.jpg|left|thumb|Louie the Lightning Bug's nastier cousin.]]
Kremzeek was accidentally created by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] whilst experimenting in the lab of the Decepticons' crashed starship-base.

Kremzeek immediately began making the electrical equipment aboard the ship malfunction, giving Megatron the idea to use him as a weapon against the [[Autobot]]s. Kremzeek succeeded in damaging most of the Autobots (leaving only [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], [[Blaster]] and [[Bumblebee]] functional) before entering [[Teletraan I]] and traveling to [[Japan]]. The remaining Autobots followed in Omega Supreme, after being made invulnerable to Kremzeek's effects by [[Sparkplug Witwicky|Sparkplug]]'s (to be patented)
Magical Insulating Spray. Kremzeek was on the rampage in Japan when Blaster managed to capture the creature in his chest compartment. Deciding to "fry him with my own juice," Blaster soon discovered that this wasn't a capital idea. Soon there were multitudes of the buggers.

Optimus finally came up with a plan (with the help of some [[Chip Chase|dorkwad]]) and trapped all of the Kremzeeks inside a radio tower, but they merged into a giant monster Kremzeek better suited for menacing [[Tokyo]]. Optimus ordered the radio tower transmitter to be activated, sending the creature into Megatron's Weapon of the Week (tm), consuming all its energy whilst the Decepticons escaped. The energy dispersed, and Kremzeek was destroyed. Poor widdle Kremzeek.

After its demise, Bumblebee reflects that he kinda misses the little creep (famous last words). Suddenly, a solitary Kremzeek emerges from Blaster, and the hilarious pursuit antics restarted. {{storylink|Kremzeek!}}

====''Kiss-Players'' (Japan)====
[[Autrooper]] guns fired Kremzeek bullets. How delightfully eccentric, yess. He liked to be under [[Atari]]'s skirt. How delightfully... something. {{storylink|Kiss Players}}

After a long day at work, [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] enjoyed sneaking off to the [[Alpha Preserve|nature preserve]] and sippin' on cans of delicious, oily Kremzeek-brand refresher.

Ironhide carelessly discarded one of his cans, allowing it to dribble into the preserve's unsullied waters. [[Beachcomber]] probably shed a tear, just off-camera.

Scamper

70.21.164.191: /* Animated continuity */

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

[[Image:Scamper_toon.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Why only 15 minutes? Because if it were any longer, ''The Man'' would consider it welfare!]]

'''Scamper''' is part of the composite whole that is the Autobot city, [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. Although autonomous in his own right, with an impulsive and sociable personality, Scamper is an extension of Metroplex, and commonly patrols the peripheries of the giant Autobot's city form in his sports car mode alongside [[Slammer]].

==Fiction==

===Animated continuity===

[[Image:Giantscamper.jpg|left|thumb|150px|All kinds of out of whack.]]

''Voice actor:'' [[Dan Gilvezan]] (US), [[Masahi Ebara]] (Japan)

Scamper would occasionally be seen when Metroplex was viewed from afar, in a wildly out-of-scale car mode berthed in the garage on the left-hand side of the city. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}{{storylink|Ghost in the Machine}}. He made his first prominent appearance while helping [[Six-Gun]] interrogate Autobots with dinosaur [[alternate mode]]s over the theft of famous monuments worldwide. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}}

When the [[Decepticon]]s attacked Metroplex with a sonic weapon from the planet [[Eurythma]], Scamper, in his only robot-mode appearance, sounded the alarm and eagerly returned fire on the villains, but was struck down by the devastating harmonics along with Metroplex. {{storylink|Carnage in C-Minor}}

In his final appearance, Scamper and Slammer discovered [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] stealing Metroplex's [[transformation cog]], and reacted with disbelief at the possibility of an invader. Demanding identification and an explanation from the [[Combaticon]], Scamper found himself sent sprawling when Swindle blew up the ramp he was traveling on and made good his escape. {{storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}}

''('''Note:''' Some additional animation of Scamper and Slammer driving through Metroplex can be seen in the "historical trailer" for the Autobot city at the conclusion of ''[[The Quintesson Journal]]''. This animation is unique amongst that used in these trailers as it does not appear anywhere else in the series.)''

==Trivia==
* In the [[Letters page (Marvel UK)|Marvel UK comics Letters Page]], [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] noted that he didn't consider robots like Scamper, Slammer and Six-Gun (who are extensions of Metroplex's personality) to 'count' as separate beings. ''Bear in mind:'' Grimlock is an insensitive asshole.

*'''Metroplex''' (1986)

:Available only with Metroplex, Scamper transforms from a six-wheeled Cybertronic sports car to robot; he is entirely black, with absolutely no paint applications in either mode, and only an Autobot sticker on his chest for color. The two electro-blaster guns mounted on his roof are removed for transformation and inserted into his shoulders to form his arms, and the robot has its own, small particle beam pistol weapon. Scamper interacts with Metroplex in the same way as other [[Mini Vehicle]]s, fitting into his various parking spots, although ironically ''not'' the one that the cartoon showed him sitting in. Usually, the figure is kept in the garage in the larger robot's chest, from which he can be deployed and sent rolling down a ramp to ground level with the push of a lever.

:The same mold was used for [[Metrodash]].

Hellflame Mini-Con Team

2007-02-14T03:19:22Z

70.21.164.191:

The alternate modes of the '''Hellflame Mini-Cons''' may be incongruous with the normal life of the [[Jungle Planet]], but they are valued enforcers of the will of the mighty [[Scourge (Cybertron)|Scourge]]. They take their name from their leader's deadly Hellflame Axe attack. Their projectile-weapon modes are just as uncommon as their alternate forms, making them very dangrous opponents indeed!.

The Hellflame Mini-Cons are...

*[[Bulge]] the twin-rotor helicopter.

*[[Graviton]] the crash-response truck.

*[[Quasar]] the Cybertronic police car.
