:''Ransack is a Velocitronian from the [[Aligned continuity family|Aligned]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Ransack''' once made an "amazing" comeback in the great Speedia race that determines the most prominent 'bots on [[Velocitron]]. He just came in second to [[Override (Prime)|Override]], and since then he has never forgotten that leadership of the planet should have been ''his''. Above all, Ransack desires power, and being second to Override's leadership has only irritated him further. He doesn't see past his own short term interests and is willing to send his world to hell, or make a deal with the devil, to gain the power that he desires. The Decepticon philosophy looks to be just what's needed on Velocitron, in his opinion, as long as ''he's'' the one in charge.

==Fiction==
===''Exiles''===

Ransack was among the first Velocitronian that [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] and his landing crew encountered. He was skeptical about Optimus's claims that he was, indeed Prime, but grudgingly led him to the city of [[Delta]].

==Notes==

He's basically [[wikipedia:Epic Mickey|Oswald the Lucky Rabbit]] as a Transformer.

[[Image:Movie2007 Prime sword.jpg|right|300px|thumb|This is how he extracts your face...]]
[[Transformer]]s may prefer guns and missiles in their many [[Cybertronian Civil Wars|wars]] but they are far from above melee combat. '''Swords''' are popular melee weapons used by both [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1===
====Generation 1 cartoon====
* [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] gained an energy-bladed sword between the years 1985 and 2005, which he used and subsequently lost in his famous last battle with Optimus Prime. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}
* The [[Predacon (G1)|Predacon]] [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] wielded a [[sonic sword]]. It made powerful vibrations, making it a deadly weapon against his enemies.
*[[Headstrong]] wields a [[diffraction sword]].
*[[Tantrum]] uses an [[electro-sword]].
*Most of the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] use [[Energo weapon|Energo-sword]]s. [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]] is the exception, using a [[Thermo-sword]] instead.
* [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]] wields a thermo-sword
* [[Weirdwolf]] does too.

====Headmasters====
[[Image:Mastersword.jpg|right|250px|thumb|The blade of evil's bane. It's also ruined Scorponok's day from time to time.]]
*[[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] used the [[Master Sword]], first using it to destroy a monstrous carnivorous plant attacking [[San Francisco]]. {{storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}} Through torture, interrogation, and ransoming, [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] got the data on the Master Sword and created the [[Zarak Shield]], which proved able to deflect the Master Sword when they first clashed in battle. {{storylink|Operation: Destroy the Decepticons}} Fortress Maximus used the Master Sword to destroy the Zarak Shield and Scorponok's [[Transtector]], saving the planet. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

====Super-God Masterforce====
*[[Grand Maximus]] wielded the [[Master Blade (Masterforce)|Master Blade]] which was similar to the Master Sword used by his older brother.

====Victory====
*[[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]]'s Saber Blade cannot forgive evil! {{storylink|Sneak Attack! Dinoking}}

===Beast Era===
====Beast Wars====
The Beast Wars had several combatants that used blades:
*[[Optimus Primal]] possessed two swords in his original gorilla body (and his unused Bat body) but not in his later Transmetal forms.
*[[Onyx Primal]], being a redeco of Optimus's bat body also wields two scimitars.
*Although both of [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]]'s toys depicted him with swords, he preferred his Chain guns of Doom in his fictional appearances.
*The honour-bound, Predacon turned Maximal [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] was an excellent swordsman (swordsbot?). His stylized sword would store inside his [[Cyber-slash tail weapon]] to become his beast mode's tail.
*[[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], sharing his body-template with Dinobot, wields a similar sword.
*Amongst [[Depth Charge (BW)|Depth Charge]]'s impressive arsenal of weapons, his beast mode tail detaches to be wielded as a harpoon/lance/sword for robot mode.
*[[Jawbreaker]] sports an utterly horrifying sword. It becomes his beast mode's tail.
*[[Night Glider]]'s sword, although not nearly as horrifying, also becomes part of his beast mode's tail upon transformation.
*Although never seen in battle during his short cameos throughout diverse media, [[Cicadacon]] is counted amongst the several dual-sword wielders of the Beast Era.
*Instrumental to [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s plan to steal the golden disk, [[Backslash]] wielded an energon blade back on Cybertron.
*[[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]], the wolf-eagle fuzor could hold his missiles and use them as swords.
*[[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]] later wielded two impressively sized swords.
*Those swords became part of the even more impressive sword wielded by Silverbolt's, [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]'s and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]'s gestalt form, [[Magnaboss]].
*[[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]]'s Transmetal body gave him a pair of swords.
*[[Windrazor (BW)|Windrazor]], a repaint of the fuzor Silverbolt is armed with the same types of swords.
*The Predacon [[Fractyl]]'s Transmetal body is a repaint of Terrorsaur's, so he is armed with twin swords as well.

====Beast Wars II====
*[[DJ (BWII)|DJ's]] weapons of choice are his Seven-Year Swords. They double up as musical instruments.
*Fellow dual-sword wielder, [[Skywarp (BWII)|Skywarp]] uses his "Wingaliber" swords.
*Skywarp, [[Santon]] and [[Lio Junior]]'s weapons combine to become [[Magnaboss II]]'s imposing blade.

====Beast Wars Neo====
*[[Magmatron]] wielded the [[Magma Blade]]. He used it despite being only a decapitated head—by gripping it with his teeth—and gave it to [[Big Convoy]], asking Convoy to kill him with it so he could die a warrior's death. Big Convoy obliged. {{storylink|Double Cross}} Later Big Convoy destroyed [[Unicron]]'s physical body with the Magma Blade.
*[[Hardhead (BWN)|Hardhead]] wields the "[[Pilesaber]]" sword.
*Although it lacks a fancy name, [[Killer Punch]] also possesses a sword.

====Beast Machines====
*[[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]]'s technorganic body possesses a pair of versatile scimitars, which can be used for slicing, deflecting lasers, and can combine to create a glider.
*The Dinobot [[Terranotron (BM)|Terranotron]] is a retool of Transmetal Terrorsaur and is armed with the same sword weapons.

===Robots in Disguise===
[[Image:Commandos Scourge Sword of Fury.jpg|right|thumb|250px|So gothy he doesn't need [[light-piping]].]]
*[[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]] used his signature [[Sword of Fury]] to terrorize his enemies and underlings alike throughout the series.
*[[Omega Prime]] can wield the [[Matrix Blade]] which was created from the desire for an Autobot victory from children all around the world. Seriously. Omega Prime then defeated [[Megatron (RID)|Galvatron]] with the blade. {{storylink|The Final Battle (RID)|The Final Battle}}
*[[Dark Scream]] is a redeco of Night Glider and is armed with the same type of sword.
*[[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]] is armed with a silver gun/knife depending on which handle is used to hold it.

===Unicron Trilogy===
The [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Air Defense Mini-Con Team]] could combine into the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]]

The Star Saber was the source of nigh-unlimited power for an ancient civilization. It was later responsible for the civilization's destruction via sinking into the ocean. [[Sonar (Armada)|Sonar]]'s [[Mini-Con]] panel was left there and later recovered by the [[Decepticon]]s. {{storylink|Ruin}}

Later, after invading the Autobot base, [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] used Sonar to locate the other two Mini-Cons and eventually succeeded in forming the Star Saber for the first time in ages. His victory was short-lived, however, as [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] stole it from him. Hot Shot was shaky in his command of the saber and at first did not put up a good offensive against Megatron. After words of advice from [[Rad White]], Hot Shot harnessed the power of the Mini-Cons to defeat Megatron, cutting off Megatron's antenna in the process. {{storylink|Swoop (episode)|Swoop}}

Hot Shot continued fighting and defeating Decepticons with the Star Saber, the Saber allowing him to easily slice off pieces of his opponents. While in a swordfight with [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], he was hit once, but Starscream's sword was cut in two by the Saber. But even with the Saber in his possession Hot Shot was no match for [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]], and was easily defeated. Afterwards Scavenger hinted to Megatron a legend of a [[Skyboom (Armada)|shield]] that could counter the Star Saber. {{storylink|Overmatch}}

Hot Shot practiced with the saber but struggled once again against Scavenger. He eventually used the sword to cut away an unfinished bridge, causing Scavenger to fall. {{storylink|Gale}} In another battle they were transported, along with [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]], to the Decepticon base. After a battle, Sideways was captured by Megatron, who offered a trade for the Star Saber. Hot Shot decided to agree to the trade, but as soon as Sideways was free he called back the Star Saber in the form of its three components. Sideways then turned on Hot Shot and knocked the Saber out of Hot Shot's grip and to Starscream, who then took control of it. {{storylink|Credulous}}

With the Star Saber in hand, the Decepticons won many battles and captured more Mini-Cons. Megatron later tricked Starscream into attacking him, and took the Star Saber as the Decepticon view shifted negatively against Starscream. {{storylink|Conspiracy|Conspiracy}} Megatron used the Star Saber to attack [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] in super mode, but had his attacks parried. He was later thrown into a crevasse, but kept the Star Saber in hand. {{storylink|Trust (Armada)|Trust}}

With the Star Saber, Megatron believed himself invincible. {{storylink|Reinforcement}} Megatron attacked Optimus Prime with both the Star Saber and the Skyboom Shield. Optimus Prime's gun was cut in two and his arm was damaged. With the help of [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]], Optimus was able to steal the Skyboom Shield away from Megatron. Then the Star Saber and Skyboom Shield collided, causing a beam of light to head off into space. {{storylink|Decisive Battle}}

The Autobots attempted to figure out the origins of the Star Saber while Megatron figured out new ways to attack using it. Optimus later commented that the power released when it hit the Skyboom Shield was due to the "screams of the Mini-Cons." {{storylink|Vow}} When Starscream contested Megatron for leadership of the Decepticons, Megatron bet the Star Saber on the winner. Megatron won the battle and kept the Star Saber for himself. {{storylink|Rebellion}}

[[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] at one point asked for the Star Saber as the only way to guarantee Decepticon victory. During the battle, he let Megatron use it and never actually took possession of it. {{storylink|Tactician}} Megatron found himself increasingly frustrated with his inability to harm the Autobots due to the Skyboom Shield. He wounded [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] once with the Saber, but found further hits once again parried by the shield. {{storylink|Linkup}}

The Star Saber was drawn toward the Skyboom Shield. Together they caused a signal that awakened the Mini-Cons that combined to create the [[Requiem Blaster (Armada)|Requiem Blaster]]. {{storylink|Desperate}} Later, in the jungle, Starscream used the Saber to battle Optimus Prime. The three component Mini-Cons turned the Saber off to protest the fighting. {{storylink|Sacrifice}}

After changing sides, Starscream used the Star Saber to attack Megatron and Thrust and used it to block a shot from the Requiem Blaster. Optimus Prime then took it to attack [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]]. {{storylink|Regeneration}} In the attack to save the Mini-Cons, Starscream again battled Megatron and was able to chop off Megatron's turret. {{storylink|Rescue}} On the adventure to [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], Starscream threw a tantrum and sliced a few mountains with the Saber. Later when the Saber was in the presence of the Skyboom Shield and the Requiem Blaster, all three weapons shone light and then caused an explosion in space. {{storylink|Mars (episode)|Mars}}

When Starscream eventually turned sides again he took the Star Saber back to the Decepticon side. {{storylink|Crack}} He presented the saber to Megatron and was immediately threatened with it. All three weapons were then combined to power the ultimate weapon, the [[Hydra Cannon]]. {{storylink|Threaten}}

Armed with the Star Saber and Skyboom Shield, [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] led the attack on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and attacked Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Uprising}} Galvatron later almost handed the Star Saber to [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]], but instead used it to attack [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]], who had infiltrated the base. [[Wheeljack (Armada)|Wheeljack]] parried the attack. All of this prevented Thrust from stealing the Star Saber, so he instead ran off with the other two weapons. {{storylink|Dash (episode)|Dash}} When [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] was unable to catch the fleeing Thrust, Galvatron threatened him with the Star Saber. {{storylink|Drift (episode)|Drift}} Sideways then got angry at Thrust for not being able to secure the Star Saber with the Skyboom Shield and Requiem Blaster. {{storylink|Portent}}

Galvatron swiped at Starscream with the Star Saber then attacked Optimus Prime when Optimus attempted to negotiate a truce with the Decepticons. Optimus was able to catch the Star Saber in mid-swing. Starscream interrupted the battle, causing Galvatron to attack him. Starscream was able to dodge at first but then allowed himself to be run through. After pulling out the Star Saber from his chassis, Starscream attacked a hovering [[Unicron]]. Unicron retaliated, destroying Starscream utterly. Seeing this, Galvatron picked up the Star Saber and offered it to Optimus Prime, but Sideways appeared and stole it from his hand. {{storylink|Cramp}}

Returning to Unicron, Sideways shoved the saber into the ground, fully awakening him. {{storylink|Alliance}} It then became part of Unicron's body and the component Mini-Cons were said to be impossible to awake. Later, when Galvatron and Optimus Prime invaded Unicron's interior, Galvatron saw the Star Saber and reached for it. Tentacles surrounding it attacked Galvatron, causing him to recoil. Eventually the saber was awakened by a Mini-Con song, splitting into the component Mini-Cons. {{storylink|Origin}}

[[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]] wielded the [[Vorpal Saber]]. After the [Autobots and the Decepticons landed on a strange world, they were menaced by a rampaging, powerful clone of Optimus Prime. The creature, calling himself Nemesis Prime, was seemingly defeated by Megatron when he fired the Requiem Blaster and blew the clone to pieces. However, the pieces reconnected with each other and Nemesis Prime formed the powerful [[Vorpal Saber]] as an extension of his own flexible, warping body. The Vorpal Saber disintegrated when the Mini-Cons arrived to save the other [[Transformer]]s. {{storylink|Puppet}}

*The [[Cryo Saber]] is made up of the three Mini-Cons [[Snowblind]], [[Lens]], and [[Quantum]].

[[Image:E07_megatronsword.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Argghhhh, my wrist!]]
*Megatron also wielded an [[Energon Sword]] at one point.

*Hot Shot, grievously injured, was regenerated into a new body by the power of Primus. His Cybertron Defence body so happened to have a sword with it. Sometimes he slotted it into his wrist, other times he held it.

*[[Vector Prime]] had his sword [[Rhisling]], most famously used by Optimus Prime to kill Galvatron {{storylink|Unfinished|Unfinished}}, and [[Snarl (Cybertron)|Snarl]]'s tail acted as a combination of sword and rifle in robot mode.

*[[Terrorsaur (Armada)|Terrosaur]], a retool of (big surprise) Beast Wars Transmetal Terrorsaur is armed with twin swords.
*[[Ravenus]]' mutated form is based on Armada Terrorsaur's toy, making him a dual-sword wielder as well.
*[[Rhinox (Armada)|Armada Rhinox]] is armed with the same type of sword as the original Transmetal Rhinox.

===Live-action film series===
====2007 Movie====
*[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] first deployed a sword from his right arm to take [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]]'s face. Bonecrusher hated that. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers }}
*Starscream had claw-like blades that folded over his right hand.{{storylink|Starscream (Movie)/toys|Starscream's Fast-Action Battlers}}

====Revenge of the Fallen====
*[[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]] had swords that he could throw from his arm(s), which he used to cut [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] in half.
*Optimus Prime used [[Dual Energon Swords|two swords]] from both his arms to fight [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] in the forest. Unfortunately for Optimus, Megatron had [[Death-lock pincer|his own sword]], impaling the Autobot leader. After his resurrection, Optimus returned the favor by breaking Megatron's sword ''with his bare hands'', then slicing off his arm with his remaining sword. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}
*The Decepticon [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] was armed with two blades in his battle against [[Whirl (ROTF)|Whirl]]. After his defeat, Bludgeon got a new body armed with Katana and a Shoto dagger.
*The [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]] [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]] is armed with twin blades.

===Transformers Animated===
[[Image:Arceeanmatedpackageart.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
*After taking his Earth form, [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]'s helicopter blades became dual swords. He used these swords to kill [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] at least once {{storylink|Mission Accomplished}} and later battled [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] with them. {{storylink|Endgame, Part II}}
*[[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]] also wields an energy lance in combat. {{storylink|The Return of the Headmaster}}
*[[Grimlock (Animated)|Grimlock]] wields a sword and ''it's on fire'' {{storylink|Blast from the Past}}
*Though she did not wield them in any of her appearances, [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]] possesses dual swords.

===Transformers: Prime===
*[[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] has dual swords that extend from his hands for melee combat, which he used to devastating effect against an army of undead [[Terrorcon (Prime)|Terrorcons]], and later against [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]].
*Megatron himself wields a blade that extends from his [[Fusion cannon]].
*[[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] carries a pair of more conventional, handheld swords as his weapons of choice.
====War For Cybertron====
*[[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] uses one.
*In multiplayer all [[Scout (WFC)|Scouts]] have swords for melee attacks.

== Daniel in Kiss Players ==

The note at the bottom says exactly where the bit about Daniel being frozen comes from. The timeline. KP presented a massive timeline of the G1 Japanese cartoon continuity that was probably the geekiest thing ever. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 10:15, 30 January 2010 (EST)
:I know what the note ''says'', but if you look [[Generation_1_cartoon_timeline_(Japan)|at the timeline]]...it's not mentioned anywhere. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 10:37, 30 January 2010 (EST)
::Aaarrgh, don't tell me that! I reference daniel's cryonic suspension in my Collectors' Club article.--[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 11:27, 30 January 2010 (EST)
:::I believe it must be ''somewhere'', because it was Swift who added it, wasn't it? And Swift is like Layla Miller, with all the knowing of stuff. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 12:13, 30 January 2010 (EST)
::::Perhaps it was mentioned in passing in one of the radio dramas? If we go that route at least no one could argue that it ''wasn't'' since, shit, ''nobody's'' listened to those things. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 12:22, 30 January 2010 (EST)
:::::I've got a Japanese site bookmarked that summarizes all of them, and although it is all google-translated, I can't find anything that even ''resembles'' a reference to Daniel. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 12:31, 30 January 2010 (EST)
::::::IIRC, there are actually two different published timelines. One was on the side of Autrooper's packaging, and I think the other was in the KissPlay/Teletraan Go! Go! compilation book... they varied on a few subtle details, IIRC. You may want to ask Swift to be sure. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 16:48, 2 February 2010 (EST)

==Deathy's Resurrection==
Wait, why are you counting that as a story page? Wouldn't it just fall under toy bio/toy catalog continuity, like the time BW Megatron got smacked around by BWII Galvatron? (For that manner, since I assume it was internally produced by Takara, I don't know if we can safely say the art is by Ban Magami...) --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 16:48, 2 February 2010 (EST)
:Oh, well, I didn't put it on that page, it was there already. Given that it can't really work continuity-wise with the other story pages, it probably should be moved ''somewhere'' else, but I'm not sure where. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 16:51, 2 February 2010 (EST)
::Oh, unless you were referring to the header its info has been given on the character pages, in which case - that was Spengs. :) *looks innocent* - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 16:54, 2 February 2010 (EST)

==Henkei manga scans?==
What would you do if I sent over scans of the remaining Henkei chapters? (Mind, I scanned them pretty high, so they're running 2-3 megs) --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] 04:24, 18 February 2010 (EST)
:I would smile broadly, then regret that there weren't summaries up yet so I could understand them properly. ;) - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 07:21, 18 February 2010 (EST)
::But lest it not be apparent that I desperately desire these things - send away at them to gears_chatroom_god(at)hotmail.com ! - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 14:51, 19 February 2010 (EST)

==Fast Action Jackson==

Thanks for clarifying that only the first 3 waves of FABs were released in Japan and removing the fiction from the proper characters. But I have to ask, if Frenzy was released in Japan as an FAB, why'd you remove the fiction from ''his'' article? Also, should I go ahead and add the FAB/BW crossover fiction to *all* the characters who were released in the Telemocha line? Even...the BWII and Neo characters? Or just the ones on Energoa? --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 20:23, 25 February 2010 (EST)
:Oh, yeah, Frenzy wasn't either. I missed him and then went back. /:) I'm really not sure what to do about the BW characters, though... after all, the II and Neo characters wouldn't have been on Energoa... - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 20:26, 25 February 2010 (EST)
::Ahhh. Gotcha. Thanks. As for the Telemocha dudes, I guess I'll add the info regularly to the Energoa guys, but for the likes of Gimlet, Motorarm and Cohrada, I'll just add something like "They may or may not have been transported back in time to Energoa to fight in the Beast Wars there against invading Autobots and Decepticons from another dimension" or something to that effect. With all the damn Blasty Zone time travel bullshit that goes on in the Japanese timeline, it probably isn't too out of the question that they went there for a second and came back somehow. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 21:08, 25 February 2010 (EST)

== Last three Masterforce screencaps ==

Hey Chris, I believe these are the last three Masterforce screencaps that need descriptions added back in: [[:Image:Parrot_and_armadillo.jpg]], [[:Image:Parrot_armadillo_headon.jpg]], [[:Image:Wilder_beastmode.jpg]]

I haven't been able to track down which episodes they're from, but I figured you might know offhand. :) --[[User:Abates|abates]] 08:03, 21 April 2010 (EDT)
:Dah! Might have to think about one or two of those for a minute... nice work getting the MF ep articles illustrated!! - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 08:26, 21 April 2010 (EDT)
::Thanks! Good to have that finished! --[[User:Abates|abates]] 15:59, 21 April 2010 (EDT)
:::Oh, I discovered I'd missed [[:Image:Diver suiton.jpg]] too, but I haven't had any luck working out which episode it's from. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 04:12, 22 April 2010 (EDT)

==Subgroup==

I was looking at the page, and I'm genuinely shocked at how a fairly important section is abandoned. I'd have a go, but I can't decide on what style to do it in [[User:Eire]] Apr 22 15.56 2010

== Thanks ==

Thanks for protecting those pages. It was funny because I was just going to propose them being protected! --[[User:NCZ|NCZ]] 09:24, 7 July 2010 (EDT)

== Clip show ==

Hey, Chris I have a G1 Headmasters clip show that does not appear anywhere, I tried to add it but you changed all that. What do I need to do to add it? - [[User:Crisdecal|Crisdecal]] 09, July 2010.
:The episode you were trying to add already has [[Fight!! Super Ginrai|an article]]. Add the info there. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 05:50, 9 July 2010 (EDT)
::You don't understand. It's a completely different episode. It's not Headmasters episode 43. It's different. The title is even slightly different. I have most recap episodes and trust me, its not any of the ones here. - [[User:Crisdecal|Crisdecal]]
::::That would be ''Masterforce'', I think you mean, rather than Headmasters. Unless that's what's causing your confusion. And I think we would need to see some proof of this, because every episode list for Masterforce, up to an including those published in Japanese guidebooks, only includes 47 episodes. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 06:27, 9 July 2010 (EDT)
:::::Your right. I meant Masterforce. I've uploaded 2 pics to this site. I'm new to this site so how do I show them to you? -[[User:Crisdecal|Crisdecal]]
::::::It's okay, I can see them on the recent changes page. I'm not sure what I'm looking at there with the second image - that's a title card from a VICTORY DVD set. Why is a Masterforce episode on a Victory set? - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 06:34, 9 July 2010 (EDT)

:::::::That's how they are on the Pioneer LDC release. I recently came across this site in attempts to collect the recap episodes and in hunting down the recap episodes through the 'net I came across someone that sold me copies of the Pioneer LDC discs. What we both found is that the Masterforce recap episodes 43 & 44 are on the Masterforce disc 8; the Masterforce recap episode 47 and the one I'm telling you about is on the Victory Disc 6; the Headmasters recap episodes 36-38 are on Victory disc 7; and the Victory recap episodes 40-44 are on the Victory disc 8. -[[User:Crisdecal|Crisdecal]]
::::::::Well, I have to say, that's the first I've heard of anything like that. You're sure these are the genuine articles? Because that seems like an odd sort of mix up. Not to say that I could imagine a new clip show could have been created for a bootleg, or anything, but I'm at a bit of a loss, because... well, there's never been any indicated of another Masterforce clip show, and for it to have basically the same title as another one... I think we need someone more knowledgeable than I, and probably one who speaks Japanese, to clarify this... - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 06:57, 9 July 2010 (EDT)

This is an original copy from the Pioneer LDC disc. I didn't believe it either until I was watching the recaps earlier tonight. I thought that the recap episode in question was also Masterforce episode 43. But you can tell there is a slight difference in the title and even the whole episode is different from all the other recaps. There is a narrator on this one and through out the whole episode each main characters title appears in large bold Japanese characters every time a new character is introduced. -[[User:Crisdecal|Crisdecal]]

The central character in this clip show is of course Super Ginari showing him kick Decepticon butt. Let me know what comes about all of this -[[User:Crisdecal|Crisdecal]]

== Almanac II Annotations for Page 98 ==
Would that text by Yoketron happen to read as "Musabetsu Kakuto Ryuu"? If so, it's a Ranma 1/2 reference- most often translated as "Anything Goes Martial Arts'. - [[User:Ayellowbirds|Ayellowbirds]] 23:47, 15 July 2010 (EDT)

==Unsolved anagrams==

Just got these reponses from Forster, thought you might need them for the annotations:

"I was just looking at the Almanac Annotations, and saw a section labeled "Unsolved Anagrams" with a listing for a "Baron Ye Gult". I was wondering if it was perhaps "Tonya Bulger"
Updated Answer: I originally answered the question incorrectly. I thought you asked about 'Friar Ilia Tote'. So if anyone read that and was confused, its because I was asleep at the wheel. 'Baron Ye Gult' is my friend Albert Young. Albert is a big sports fan and goes dancing in clubs, but I am his friend anyway.

Another anagram: Is "Dankly Woolens" supposed to be "Kendall Swoony"? Sorry if these have been solved and just not posted to the annotations.
Kelly Woods, my kid sister. I didn't expect people to get all the anagrams. They were mostly just me having fun."

Given the letters used, I'm going to assume that Kelly's middle name is Ann. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 11:02, 28 July 2010 (EDT)

For "[[Echo Across the Galaxy! Bell of Love!!]]", there's two (2)-entries and two (27)-entries. I've tried finding the episode on youtube, but came out empty-handed.

==Shockwave Image==

Hello, this is Jedijam91. I am one of the users from Teletraan 1. I noticed that the image on this wiki for Shockwave is his depiction in DOTM. Because of our image policies at Teletraan 1 I cannot simply post the same picture that you have and I was wondering if you could lend me the image for its use on Teletraan 1.

Audi R8 Decepticon

2011-10-31T19:32:53Z

70.27.132.160:

{{faction|decepticonfilm}}
{{noname-nickname}}
:''The Audi R8 Decepticon is a Decepticon from the [[Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] continuity.''
[[Image:DOTM-Sidewaysstab.jpg|right|300px|thumb|[[Wreckloose (ROTF)|Wreckloose]]? Is that you?]]
The '''Audi R8 Decepticon''' shares the same [[body-type]] as [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]].

==Fiction==
===''Dark of the Moon''===
A Decepticon who shared Sideways' protoform body-type was hiding under the surface of [[Earth]]'s [[moon (moon)|moon]] with scores of other troops. Once [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] activated the [[space bridge]] pillars, he and his hidden brethren were able to cross over from the moon to [[Washington, D.C.]]. He was present during the Decepticons' occupation of [[Chicago]], where he was blasted through the chest and killed during [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s magnificent, mile-long rampage that left several Decepticons dead. His remains were then vaporized by Shockwave's shooting frenzy. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

==Notes==
*The Audi R8 Decepticon reuses the CGI model of Sideways from ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', but given Sideways' death by bisection and explosion in that film, it's unlikely this guy was intended to be him. He's [[Wreckloose (ROTF)|not the]] [[Dead End (ROTF)|only Decepticon]] [[Override (TF 2010)|that shares]] a body-type with Sideways, after all.
