'''In the wake of defeat, Megatron isn't happy.'''

==Detailed synopsis==
In a lower layer of [[Gigantion]], Scourge helps the battered Megatron walk after his thrashing at the hands of Metroplex (which happened [[Giant|last episode]]). The [[Decepticon]]s offer words of encouragement, but Megatron isn't listening.

After Optimus recalls their short time on the planet, he asks Metroplex to guide them to the central layer, but the leader of the planet says they can't. It's not that they don't ''want'' to, but their customs dictate that data on old cities be erased, so the lower levels are as much a mystery to them as they are to the newcomers. As the Autobots start unloading the ''[[Ogygia]]'', they remark that they can hopefully narrow their searches of old cities for old data if Vector Prime can get a general fix on the [[Cyber Planet Key]], with the help of the [[Omega Lock]].

Back underground, Megatron is fuming, literally. Ransack and Crumplezone get a little too close and get knocked backwards by the sheer force of Megatron's "aura of fury". Scourge assures everyone that it's not ''them'' he's angry at... and then Megatron's fury boils over, creating an energy blast that scatters the Decepticons and punches a hole to the surface. Megatron rises high into the air, and the Decepticons pull themselves from the rubble. Soundwave announces he's "droppin' outta this session" and flies off.

Megatron rumbles that he needs more power, and the Gigantion Cyber Planet Key reacts to his anger... as does the Omega Lock, which starts emitting the Omega Frequency. Megatron's spirit resonates with the Key, and spectral-Megatron pushes through layer after layer of the planet, all the way to the resting place of the Key. It resists him, but Megatron draws energy from it, and shoots back through to the surface, tearing a huge hole in the planet... and comes out again enveloped in black "mist". Thunderblast swoons.

[[Image:Cyb_DontscrewwithGalvatron_1.jpg|right|thumb|200px|So, the G1 Galvatron homage is Megatron, and the G1 Megatron homage is Galvatron? That's some kind of backwards.]]

Back at the ''Ogygia'', Vector Prime says he's found the key, but that the disturbance means someone else has too, and drawn energy from it. The Autobots split into groups and search (the fliers, in their own group, end up having a little race). Vector notes Landmine's team hasn't reported back... and the trio are laying around, having been pounded senseless by the darkness-enshrouded Megatron. Optimus' team finds them, and Metroplex notes the lack of collateral damage in the area, meaning they were knocked out ''fast''.

Elsewhere, Override is trying to outrun Megatron, but gets knocked into the air. Quickmix catches her and fires at Megatron before engaging him hand-to-hand... and is quickly knocked out. Optimus' team finds them too, and Override warns Optimus about the upgraded Megatron. The teams are all called back to regroup...

Coby is crawling through an old computer when Jetfire alerts his team about the recall. Jetfire orders Coby to get out of there ''right now'', but Coby's seen something and asks for five minutes to check it out. Meanwhile, the [[Cybertron Defense Team]] has gotten its clock cleaned by Megatron, while the other Decepticons follow, making sure to stay behind suitable cover, of course. They come across Jetfire's team, and Wing Saber and Evac tackle Megs so Jetfire can get Coby (who found and retrieved something from the tunnel) and Lori away safely. Which doesn't work, as Megatron wipes out the Autobots pretty much instantly, then conks out Jetfire. He turns to the humans, but Jetfire grabs his leg. Before Megatron can finish Jetfire off, Optimus arrives to cannon-blast the Decepticon. Megs quickly attacks and sends Prime tumbling to the ground, and announces to the world he is now '''Galvatron''' (again)!

[[Image:GalvatronPepClub.jpg|left|thumb|We got MRxL!]]

Metroplex has at Galvatron, but the Decepticon stops the giant's Sparkdrinker axe with a single finger, then pushes him back easily. Metroplex powers up his weapon with a Cyber Key, but Galvatron actually takes the weapon from Metroplex's hands and bashes him with it, knocking him out for the count. Vector Prime leaps in but is dispatched with a single swipe of Galvatron's hand.

Galvatron then powers up with a Cyber Key to unleash his spiked-arm-add-on-thingy and bash Optimus around some. Prime refuses to stay down, so Galvatron uses a second Key to unleash his gatling cannon, which sends Optimus flying. In victory, Galvatron emits a lightning storm, and one bolt screams towards the kids at the top of a high tower... but Optimus ''somehow'' gets in the way of the bolt, saving them.

Optimus remembers the promise he made to Coby and Lori's parents to keep them safe (keep Coby and Lori safe, that is, not their parents), and powers up to super mode. The two do that fly-at-each-other-then-punch-each-others'-fist-and-hold thing, before Galvatron is pushed back. But Prime falters, and Galvatron is ready to go again... until Metroplex hurls the gigantic Sparkdrinker at Optimus. Prime manages to summon a Cyber Key to power it up, and the two rush at each other ''again'', this time to do that run-past-each-other-then-stand-still-then-the-hero-kneels-the-bad-guy-smirks-but-is-then-wounded deal. The Decepticons rush to Galvatron's aid, and he decides to call it a day. They run, and Soundwave, who has been watching this whole time, also flies off.

The Autobots return to the ''Ogygia'', and use the machinery Coby recovered to plot a course underground. The ship heads for the coordinates, but they find a giant crevice along the way, with the ''[[Atlantis]]'' starship in the middle, having crashed on Gigantion!

:—'''Scattorshot'''

"If you're going to keep asking for it, I'm going to keep giving it to you!"<br>
"I wish you'd shut up."
:—'''Galvatron''' gets the best comeback ever from '''Optimus'''.

==Other Notes==
===Animation and/or technical glitches===
* Ransack's "mask" seems to disappear at random.

===Continuity errors===
* So... now there's this gigantic hole in the planet, yes? Which presumably leads from the Key at the center of the planet... all the way to the surface where the Decepticons are... so... why don't they just fly down the hole and snag the Key all easy-peasey?

* The three Decepticon fans on Crumplezone's back when he and Ransack celebrate Galvatron's reveal are gone in the next shot, even though the fans in their hands are still there.

===Transformers references===
* Metroplex says "Don't get a glitch in your rotator cuffs!", which is close to a line [[Kup]] says in the [[The Transformers: The Movie (1986)|original ''Transformers'' movie]], about a "burr in my rotator".

* Speaking of movie references, Galvatron mutters "Such heroic nonsense" before powering up with a Cyber Key, the infamous line [[Generation 1]] [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] uttered before brutally killing [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] in the movie.

* Later, Galvatron adds another instance of over-use of movie lines with "Why throw away your life so recklessly?" (this line was used again in [[Unfinished]]).

===Real-world references===
* When Megatron communes with the Key, Vector mutters he "felt great disturbance within the force"... a very [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]]-esque moment, referring to the Force from the ''[[Star Wars]]'' movies (of which there was a novel called "Vector Prime"!!!

===Miscellaneous trivia===
* Okay, okay, ''this'' is ''technically'' the last time we see Nemesis Breaker... but it's only in flashbacks to last episode.

* Quickmix uses his left-arm pipes as a hand-held blaster here, which the Quickmix toy can actually do!

* Even after Galvatron got hit, he still appeared to be in better shape then Optimus so the really wasn't any need for him to run away. This is like what happened way back in [[Masterforce]] when [[Super Warriors - The Godmaster Brothers| Hydra and Buster first appeared]].

Raiden

2008-06-07T00:21:51Z

70.246.192.101: /* Trivia */

{{picsneeded|Toy}}
:''Raiden is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Headmasters]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Raiden boxart.jpg|thumb|right|250px|God of thunder! And rock and roll!]]

'''Raiden''' is the combined form of the six [[Trainbot]]s [[Kaen]], [[Getsuei]], [[Seizan]], [[Shouki]], [[Suiken]], and [[Yukikaze (G1)|Yukikaze]].

Each member transforms into a different high speed or bullet train native to their home land of [[Japan]]. Raiden is an ambitious gestalt. He maintains an active rivalry with [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] and plans on challenging the [[Decepticon]] giant [[Predaking]] next.

He is The Robot Train.

''RTM dub name: '''The Robot Train''', '''Grimlock'''''

==Fiction==
===The Headmasters===
'''Voice Actor:''' [[Keiichi Noda]] (Japan)

When confronted by Decepticon combiner teams, Raiden was always ready to fight back using his terrific strength and Train Bazooka. He was the only new combiner team introduced during the series.

The Trainbots' combined train mode was used for travel between planets with the aid of the [[Space Bridge]].

==Toys==
===The Headmasters===
*'''Raiden''' (Trainbot, 1987)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-131'''

: Released only in Japan, Raiden's toy dates back to the ''Diaclone line'', similar to the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]s. For ''Headmasters'', the Trainbots were available individually or in a gift set. They were later re-released during the ''[[Zone]]'' series. Like [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], each Trainbot member becomes a specific part of Raiden; appendages cannot be swapped like the later "[[Scramble City]]" combiners.

*'''Raiden''' (TF Jr., 1987)

==Trivia==

[[Image:Robottrain.jpg|thumb|"Go and fight! Something something Doot doot dooooo!"]]

* The Trainbots combined train form appears in the opening credits of [[Masterforce (cartoon)|Masterforce]], but not in the series itself. The series creators seem to have intended to to use the Robot Train to travel back and forth to [[Athenia]], more closely tying Masterforce to previous Transformers series, but the idea was quietly dropped.

*The rivalry with Devastator could be due to the fact that, in addition to sharing Diaclone origins, the components also have a specific part mode, and in addition to that, the two respective combiners are the fusion of 6 robots.

Sky High (Pretender)

2008-06-06T22:21:55Z

70.246.192.101: /* Generation 1 */

{{Template:Disambig2|the Autobot Pretender Helicopter|the Autobot Micromaster Jet|Sky High (Micromaster)}}

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

[[Image:Sky_high(Pretender)_boxart.jpg|thumb|right|300px|BY THE POWWWERRRR OF IAAAAACOOOONNN! I HAVE THE POWWWWWERRRRR!]]

''The great barbarian, '''Sky High''', titanic muscles straining under the effort of days in combat against the endless armies of orcs and trolls that guarded the castle of the Dark Lord [[Skullgrin]], raises his massive scythe, and swings it in a sweeping arc that shatters the dark gate to splinters. He turns in triumph and calls the party members behind him, "Come! Brave [[Landmine (G1) |Landmine]], sword-wielder. Wise [[Cloudburst]], master of magic. Stoic [[Waverider]], traveler of the depths. The keep of our enemy lies before us! The day has come at last! Let the Brotherhood of Primus enter here, and victory shall be ours!”''

...and so the battle continues in the never-ending world of adventure that Sky High lives out in his imagination. Those who don’t know the hulking, powerful [[Pretender]] (''great barbarian hero'', ''space adventurer'', ''dashing spy'' take your pick) assume that his quietness and spacey erratic behavior result from his being all brawn and no brains. Nothing could be further from the truth. Sky High is as smart as he is strong, but to escape from the harsh reality of war the imaginative Pretender (''Warrior of Primus''), an extreme introvert, has fashioned his own fantasy world of high adventure in his mind, where he is the great hero of an epic story. So involved and immersed is Sky High in his fantasy world that he works everything that happens around him into his imaginary adventures. Sky High blatantly and purposefully ignores reality in favor of his dreams. Thankfully he is intelligent and imaginative enough that he usually has no problem working his actual situation and orders (''quests'') into his ongoing daydream.

Sky High, along with being very intelligent and imaginative, is also stronger, faster, and more durable than the average Transformer even without his Pretender shell (''Battle Armor of the Hawk'' perhaps) which boosts his strength immensely (''+5''). In his shell he swings a sonic scythe (''elf-forged weapon'') that breaks molecular bonds, has access to leg mounted energy beams that can blind opponents (''Spell of Blinding''), and wears a utility belt with rocket boosters (''Enchanted Belt of Flight'') that enables him to fly. In robot mode he wields a cerebro-scrambling gun (''Wand of Confusion'') which he can also use when he transforms (''shape-changes'') to helicopter mode (''a hawk'').

== Fiction ==

Sky High has never done anything of interest, anywhere, ever. He's barely even stood around in the background. Sad but true. Maybe he and [[Skyfall (G1)|Skyfall]] should form a "criminally underused" club.

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Sky High''' (Pretender, 1988)
**''Accessories:'' Blades, gun, helmet, belt

[[Image:G1skyhigh_toy.jpg|thumb|left|250px|]]

:Sky High's inner robot transforms into a Cybertronic helicopter. Unlike many of the other vague Cybertronic vehicles that Pretenders transformed into, Sky High's vehicle is designed to be clearly recognisable. The rotor blades turn but do not spin. They form his scythe melee weapon for the outer shell, which is red-headed, orange-eyed human in a space suit. In similar fashion to Sky High's fellow Autobot Pretenders [[Splashdown]] and [[Groundbreaker]], the space suit chest plate features a animal-like design motif, with the "snout" at the center of his chest and yellow "eyes" at his shoulders. In his case, it is a bird.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
*Sky High's toy has one of the most contradictory [[Tech Spec]]/[[bio]] combos around. It describes him as a brick-dumb muscle-head, but then gives him an impressive Intelligence stat of 8 and a motto about "imagination unlocking the keys of reality." Dreamwave's MTMTE profile book did a fairly clever job of making that all actually work together by cooking up the expanded characterization above.
* Also in common with Splashdown and Groundbreaker, Sky High's toy was not pictured in the initial version of the 1988 toy [[catalog]], instead being replaced by a "coming soon" silhouette.
