'''''Transformers: Prime''''' has had an unusually heavy amount of promotion, with 4 character promos, a sneak peek promo, a musical tribute and a behind the scenes look all released in the last three months of 2010. This is in addition to the regular episode promos that most shows get. This didn't change in 2011 with 2 commercials produced specifically to promote the debut of a weekly series without talking about any one particular episode. Looking at episode promos also shows a heavier amount of advertisement with various shorter versions of full length promos airing at the end of various shows on [[The Hub]]. The episode ''Convoy'' even got ''two'' full length promos.

==Synopsis==
[[Image:GhostMachine Scourge approaches Unicron.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Your ''break''fast, Sir!]]

On [[Chaar]], the [[Decepticon]]s are following [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], when [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]]'s ghost appears and possesses [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]]. Despite his better efforts, Starscream forces Scourge to fire on Galvatron, then flees with [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] in pursuit. Cyclonus follows as far as [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], where he breaks off, assuming that Scourge has defected to the [[Autobot]]s. But that is not Starscream's goal. He instead flies to the severed head of [[Unicron]]. Using Scourge to reactivate the Dark God, Starscream offers his services in exchange for a new body. Unicron agrees to restore him to life in exchange for three labors. The first labor is to bring [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]'s [[Sensors|eyes]] to Unicron. With nowhere else to go, Scourge agrees to serve Unicron.

[[Image:GhostMachine Metroplex eye explode.jpg|right|200px|thumb|There are no eye-drops for this.]]

On Earth, [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] arrives for an inspection of [[Autobot City]], when Scourge and Starscream make their move. Destroying Metroplex's security system, the two Decepticons steal the eyes, but [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Bumblebee]] and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] cause Scourge to drop one, shattering it. Fleeing, Metroplex [[Transformation|transforms]], but cannot see, and begins firing on the Autobots. However, a photon bomb disables Metroplex, causing him to crash. Lacking one eye, the two head back for Chaar, where they dispatch the [[Battlecharger]]s, outwit Starscream's [[Seeker (body-type)|former soldiers]], and steal one of [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]'s eyes. In addition, Starscream possesses [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] to serve as their ride home, where Astrotrain is left to the mercy of the Autobots. Upon learning of what happened, Galvatron reacts in a rational, controlled manner... for Galvatron.

[[Image:Dirge AlmostDeath.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Galvatron settles an old score with the wall.]]

Pleased with his new eyes, Unicron informs Starscream and Scourge of their next labor: bring Trypticon to Unicron (should have told them that before they left). Starscream heads off to complete the task. Meanwhile, [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] interrogates Astrotrain, who claims not to remember what happened, but [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] reveals that Unicron has his eyes back! [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] takes [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]], and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] to investigate, but Unicron drives them off. Scourge is becoming nervous, but Unicron warns his creation that he can take what he has given. On Chaar, Galvatron orders the Battlechargers and [[Conehead|Coneheads]] to locate Starscream and Scourge, only for Trypticon to transform, under Starscream's control, and depart, with the Decepticons in pursuit.

As the Autobots prepare for the Decepticon assault, Unicron commands Starscream to remove Trypticon's [[transformation cog]] and place it in Unicron. The Decepticons arrive and attack, but Starscream uses Trypticon to disable their weapons. As the Decepticons flee, Unicron commands his minions to complete the third labor—connect Unicron's head to Cybertron, making it his new body. Scourge decides to book it, and Starscream is left to complete the task. Scourge tries to warn Galvatron, but he doesn't care. Scourge then heads to the Autobots, and warns them of Unicron's intentions.

[[Image:GhostMachine Unicron starscream jumpers.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Refusing to call Triple-A, Starscream prepares to jumpstart Unicron.]]

Within Trypticon, the Battlecharges and the Coneheads disable Starscream's control over Trypticon, so Starscream demands his body to complete the labors. Unicron restores his body, but Starscream (surprise, surprise), tells Unicron to connect himself to Cybertron. However, the Autobots manage to plant some [[Energon cube|energon cubes]] on Unicron's head. They detonate the [[Energon (fuel)|energon]], causing Unicron's head to return to orbit and Starscream to go flying. Thrown past the Decepticons, Galvatron orders them to fire on Starscream. When their shots begin hitting him, Cyclonus wonders why Starscream's ghost has lost control.

On Cybertron, Rodimus agrees to allow Scourge and Astrotrain to leave, in exchange for their help. He then tells the Autobots of their new mission to retrieve Metroplex's eye, but then reveals that he was joking, saying that the eyes were probably destroyed in the explosion.

Unseen by the Autobots, Unicron's eye twinkles in the night...

* Headstrong's gun sounds like Galvatron's cannon.
* In this episode, Cyclonus's eyebrows are purple. His chin is still grey, though.
* Unicron's helmet was all gold [[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1| the last time we saw it]]. Now it's blue with gold horns.
* After entering Unicron, Scourge/Starscream lands and walks forward. Look at the background—it turns dark and suddenly flashes back to the previous background again.
* As he says, "Only three?," Starscream's eyes are suddenly huge.
[[Image:GhostInTheMachine Bumblebee huge wheels.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Top this Putt-Putt.]]
* When Bumblebee and Spike discover Scourge stealing Metroplex's eyes, Bumblebee has enormous wheels.
* Just before setting the charge inside Metroplex, Scourge's eyes are blue instead of red.
* After the bomb goes off, the next shot of the inside of Metroplex shows a star background on his monitor. A few shots later, it's the usual Earth sky.
* When Silverbolt says that he doesn't see any enemy, he and Skydive are both mouthing the words.
* As Scourge exits Astrotrain/Starscream to dig out Metroplex's eye, he's still carrying Trypticon's eye. It disappears in the next shot.
* As he re-enters Astrotrain/Starscream, Scourge just sort of clips into him through a solid wall.
* In a few scenes, Hot Spot has a mouth on his faceplate.
* The tops of Rodimus's shoulders are the same color as his arms in this episode. [[Fight or Flee|The last time we saw him]], they were white.
* The inside of Ultra Magnus's mouth is red for most of the episode.
* In a layering error, the "Unidentified craft" warning message that flashes up on Blurr's screen overlays his head.
* Groove has a totally different voice for his one line ("Locked and loaded!"), sounding somewhat like Beachcomber. Usually, he sounds more like a higher-pitched Trailbreaker.
* When he accuses Astrotrain of stealing Metroplex's eyes, Magnus's whole face is blue.
* As Sky Lynx approaches him, Unicron's eyes are missing again.
* During Scourge's attack on him, Sky Lynx has a Decepticon symbol on his nose.
* Hot Spot says, "Look out, Scourge!" when he probably meant to say, "Look out, it's Scourge!"
* As he berates his troops, the tops of Galvatron's shoulders are missing their red squares.
* As Scourge is brought to Rodimus, an overhead shot shows Ultra Magnus with circular cogs on his shoulders instead of the usual white pillars.
* Magnus's line, "Let's plant the energon explosives and get out of here," is cut off in the middle.
* When Galvatron shoots at Starscream, his cannon sounds like a regular Decepticon laser.
* When Rodimus shakes Magnus's hand, Magnus has an Autobot symbol on his left shoulder. He should only have one on his right shoulder.
* As Rodimus jokes about recovering Metroplex's eyes from Unicron, a reaction shot shows Magnus's other (right) shoulder. This ''should'' have an Autobot symbol, but doesn't!
* As Rodimus jokes about recovering Metroplex's eyes from Unicron, one shot shows a solid wall behind him even though he's still standing in front of the display (showing space).
* ''After'' Rodimus jokes about recovering Metroplex's eyes from Unicron, Hot Spot is shown with Ultra Magnus's color scheme.

===Continuity errors===
* While Scourge makes a respectable attempt at fighting off Starscream's control of his body in this episode, he displayed no such strength of will when he was possessed by the latter at the end of "[[Starscream's Ghost]]". Of course, this time he could have been some what familiar with Starscream's forceful takeover techniques and able to mount a better resistance.
* Cyclonus won't go near Unicron's head because that would alert the Autobots, but they don't seem to notice Scourge approaching it.
* Putting one wire back together is enough to reactivate Unicron's mind! You'd think Rodimus would have done more to make it unrepairable.
* [[Triple Takeover|It's not unprecedented]] for Autobots to come back from being seriously injured, but Powerglide appears alive and well, even though he was blown up by the Quintessons [[Dark Awakening|the last time we saw him]].
* Starscream enters Kup's body and somehow immediately causes an explosion in a random wall that blows out Metroplex's ''entire'' security system.
* Following that scene, Scourge is already in Metroplex. Nobody noticed him fly to Earth? What happened to the Earth Defense Command satellites?
* What is Trypticon doing on that random planet? And why doesn't he notice Scourge stealing his eye?
* Although undoubtedly big, Metroplex and Trypticon's eyes should be ''way'' too small for Unicron to use as like-for-like replacements.
* Ultra Magnus accuses Astrotrain of stealing Metroplex's eye'''s''', but Scourge/Starscream only took one (the other one broke).
* Why don't the Autobots just blast Unicron's repaired circuits as soon as they enter his head?
* When Scourge approaches Galvatron he says, "Galvatron, don't shoot!" Galvatron states he couldn't even if he wanted to, because Trypticon neutralized their weapons (somehow). Yet, when Starscream's out of control body flies past him, he begins firing on him.
* It's odd that Unicron wants Starscream to bring Trypticon to him just to get his transformation cog. Why not just steal the cog as they did in "[[The Ultimate Weapon]]"?
* Why doesn't Rodimus just jump inside Unicron's head and open the Matrix again?
* What happens to Trypticon (and the Decepticons inside him) when Unicron's head is blasted away?
* Why does Starscream "tumble through space" if he could just transform and fly away?
* Arcee appears in one shot of the episode, as the Autobots cheer when Unicron's head is blasted away.
* Warpath and Bumblebee appear (for one shot each) on the Autobots' base on Cybertron at the end of the episode. Is there some reason why they made the trip there from Earth?
* Rodimus jokes about recovering Metroplex's eye'''s''' from Unicron. One of the eyes is Trypticon's.

===Transformers references===
* Only appearance of [[Runabout (G1)|Runabout]].
* This episode is the second appearance of Starscream's ghost. His first appearance was in the G1 episode "[[Starscream's Ghost]]". His ghost makes a third appearance in the ''[[Beast Wars (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' episode "[[Possession]]" in which he takes over [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]].

===Real-world references===
* The title's literal meaning obviously applies to the events of the episode, but the phrase has a history in philosophical discourse. It was [[Wikipedia:Ghost in the machine|coined as a pejorative]] against the [[Wikipedia:Mind-body dichotomy|mind-body split]] of [[wikipedia:René Descartes|Cartesian]] dualism, and by the time this episode was made, it had also been used as the title of [[wikipedia:The Ghost in the Machine|a book]] and [[wikipedia:Ghost in the Machine (album)|a rock album]].
* Starscream delivers the line, "I don't have to show you no [[wikipedia:Stinking_badges|stinking passes]]"

===Trivia===
* Scourge demonstrates an extraordinary level of willpower in this episode. Of all the Transformers Starscream is seen possessing in both this episode and "[[Starscream's Ghost]]", Scourge is the only one who puts up a fight for control of his own body and retains his memories of what happened while "under the influence". (This is admittedly inconsistent with the ending of the prequel to this episode, however.)
* Unicron displays the ability to electrocute the Autobots inside his head and expel them through his neck.
* Starscream is last seen tumbling away through space in his new body, possibly damaged from Galvatron's attacks but still very much alive. This is sometimes seen as a point of conflict with his appearance as a ghost in the ''Beast Wars'' episode "[[Possession]]". Fans have reconciled this by speculating that he died again off-screen, or else traveled through time to the ''Beast Wars'' era (and back) before this episode took place chronologically. Alternatively, the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon does not follow strictly from any specific Generation 1 continuity, allowing the "error" to be dismissed entirely.

Rubber Ducky

2012-02-02T06:46:50Z

71.22.44.15: /* Notes */

{{factions|predacon||decepticon}}
{{disambig2|Megatron's little friend and co-conspirator from Beast Wars|the [[Beastformer]]|Duck Diver}}
:''The Rubber Ducky is a non-transforming [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] and [[Decepticon]] ally/bath toy from the [[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]] portion of the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] and the [[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Transmetal rubber ducky.jpg|right|300px|thumb|You make conquest lots of fun!]]
[[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] is awfully fond of the '''Rubber Ducky'''; it is one of his closest allies and associates. Though it seems to lack any combat capabilities, Megatron often confers with it on unknown but presumably important matters.

It is cute and yellow and chubby.

==Fiction==
===''Beast Wars'' cartoon===
[[Image:Rubber ducky cotf2.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Sadly, does not change into a robot.]]
The Rubber Ducky was seen among Megatron's hoard of personal possessions, such as [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]'s head and a model airplane, guarding them perhaps. It was unable to stop [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] from ransacking the cabinets, however; all it could do was squeak in protest as she cast it aside. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors (Part 2)|Coming of the Fuzors (Part 2)}}

When [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]] discovered that Megatron had used half of his [[Spark]] to give life to [[Dinobot II]], he threatened to rip it from the new Predacon's chest, only to find that Dinobot II wasn't about to let that happen. The Rubber Ducky observed all this in silence from the comfort of Megatron's CR tank hot tub, apparently content that the Predacon commander had the situation under control. {{storylink|Feral Scream Part 1|Feral Scream Part 1}}

Later, the Rubber Ducky was apparently changed into a Transmetalized state, perhaps as a result of Megatron's experiments with the technology. When Megatron decided to attack the [[Maximal]] [[Mount St. Hilary|base]] to disrupt an attempt to reprogram Blackarachnia, the Rubber Ducky emphasized the scheme with a resounding squeak. {{storylink|Crossing the Rubicon|Crossing the Rubicon}}

Shortly after, the Predacons evacuated their base, seconds before Tigerhawk's arrival obliterated it. Perhaps hindered by its lack of a means of locomotion, the Rubber Ducky was not seen escaping with them, and likely became a casualty of the Beast Wars. {{storylink|Other Victories|Other Victories}}
{{-}}

===''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon===
[[Image:Ultra Magnus Skybyteduck.jpg|150px|thumb|Now to fill the hole with water.]]

A being similar in appearance to the Rubber Ducky had been hibernating underground before being excavated by [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]], who, uncaring of its fortitude, casually tossed it aside. Whether the same creature or a duplicate, it was still able to let out a defiant squeak. It seemed to be a lot bigger than you might expect for a rubber ducky (bigger than the bomb Sky-Byte found) but it may be about the right size for Megatron. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus (episode)|Ultra Magnus}}
{{-}}

===''Cybertron'' cartoon===
The Rubber Ducky was seen having a party around [[Ransack (Cybertron)|Ransack]]'s head with all his other Rubber Ducky buddies. Somehow he managed to revert back to his non-Transmetal and/or Rubber form. [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] was probably quite pleased that he lived. Yessss..... {{storylink|Trust (Cybertron)|Trust}}
{{-}}

==Toys==
Hasbro has announced no plans to produce this character in toy form. Perhaps some day, however, the Rubber Ducky might appear rendered in plastic or some other similar, soft, malleable material suitable for play and bathtime.

According to [[Glen Hallit]], one of the [[3H Productions|3H]]-proposed exclusives for the 2005 convention was [[Megatron (RID)|''Robots in Disguise'' Megatron]] retooled as [[Megatron (BW)|''Beast Wars'' Megatron]], with a Rubber Ducky accessory. This would have been ''awesome''.

==Notes==
* Rubber Ducky—he's the one.
* Voice actor [[David Kaye]] has been known to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9iXlC6mwPc oblige requests at conventions] to sing the ''[[Wikipedia:Sesame Street|Sesame Street]]'' Rubber Ducky song in his Beast Wars Megatron voice. And to this day, it's very catchy.
* Megatron's affinity for duckies may or may not be an inspiration for [[Ego]]'s affinity for [[Plush lizard|plush lizards]], though the lizard is known to also squeak "Hi!" at frequent and annoying times.

Hulk

2012-01-18T08:10:36Z

71.22.44.15: /* Notes */

:''Hulk is a character from the [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] portion of [[Crossovers]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:CrossoversHulkArt.jpg|thumb|325px|MEN KILLED BAMBI'S MOTHER!!]]

The '''Hulk''' is a very angry man. A fellow literally fueled by unstoppable rage, most would be satisfied with him causing property damage purely on an infantry level. Not [[Mister Fantastic]], though. No, Mr. Fantastic has instead encased this furious, really quite angry guy in a mechanized suit of transforming armor encased in plates of the same indestructible material as [[Captain America]]'s shield. As if this weren't an impressive, indeed inexplicable enough achievement, Mr. Fantastic has likewise fortified the mech's cockpit with hydraulic joint flexors, to allow the machine to absorb the Hulk's frantic thrashings and allow his battle suit to literally become stronger as its pilot grows angrier.

Some people might think this is overkill, but they're not Mr. Fantastic. Mr. Fantastic is a ''genius''.
{{TOCclear}}

==Fiction==
===Marvel Generation 1 comics===
An image of the Hulk was imprinted on the walls of the [[Marvel Comics]] reception area. {{storylink|I, Robot-Master!}}

==Toys==

*'''Hulk''' (Marvel, 2008)

[[Image:Crossovers Hulk toy.jpg|right|200px|thumb|HULK MAD!!! PUNY HUMANS SHOULD HAVE MADE HULK [[Trukk not munky|TRUKK, NOT MUNKY]]!!!]]
:Hulk transforms from a big, green, shirtless man into a fanciful tank. The "mech mode" in the promo picture at right is incompletely transformed; the "wheel panels" of his shoulders should be rotated 90 degrees around his biceps, relative to the "tread panels". It also appears his shins have not been extended.

:He also has one tiny point of battle damage, a crater on one of the front tank tread covers. Apparently Hulk has been shot... once.

==Notes==
* The Hulk was featured on the cover of [[Heavy Traffic!|''Transformers'' #22]], celebrating Marvel Comic's 25th anniversary.
* According to ''[[Beast Machines (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]'' DVD commentary by Story Editor [[Bob Skir]], [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]] is influenced by the Hulk.
* The creators of ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Transformers Animated]]'' likened [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]] to the Hulk, while [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] was likened to the [[Thing]].
* The Hulk had a pre-''Crossovers'' transforming robot toy in the Toy Biz ''Marvel Megamorphs'' line (back before [[Hasbro]] had the Marvel license), which used the scrapped design for ''[[Transtech]]'' [[Immorticon]] as its base. Why? Because [[Draxhall Jump]] worked on both ''Transtech'' and Megamorphs''.
*[[Fred Tatasciore]] is the current voice of the Hulk in almost every Marvel animation except for ''The Super Hero Squad Show'', where the Hulk is voiced by [[Travis Willingham]], and ''Planet Hulk'' where the hulk is voiced by [[Rick Wasserman|Rick D. Wasserman]].
* [[Peter Cullen]] also voiced Hulk in ''[[Spider-Man]] and his Amazing friends''.
* The Hulk's alter ego, Dr. Bruce Banner was featured in ''Marvel: Ultimate Alliance'', where he was voiced by [[Robin Atkin Downes]]. But The Hulk however, was a playable character only for the Gold Edition of the [[Xbox 360]] version of the game, where he was voiced by [[Peter Lurie]].

'''Barack "Barry"<ref name="joke">[http://www.therealeffingdeal.com/blog/obamania-but-will-he-elect-to-take-the-search-seriously/#more-109 "OBAMAMANIA!" blog post] by Sharkatron3000 on TheRealEffingDeal.com</ref> Obama''' was elected [[President of the United States]] in a time of national and global peril. While [[Dubya|his predecessor]] was incumbent, a crisis had exploded with [[Megatron (Movie)|N.B.E. 01]]'s, the loss of the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]], and a swarm of [[Transformer|alien combatants]] waging a clandestine, highly unconventional war in hotspots across the [[Earth|world]].

When he was running for election, Obama had blown off a question about alien visitors with a joke.<ref name="joke" /> But as President, his fear that the [[Autobot]]s' presence attracted the [[Decepticon]]s led him to appoint a [[Theodore Galloway|National Security Advisor]] that was a constant thorn in the side of the [[NEST|joint human/Autobot military force]], which found itself increasingly hamstrung in direct proportion to the gravity of the Decepticon threat.

{{quote|...we aren’t sure Barry is so ready to tackle the real issues of EXTRATERRESTRIAL life, especially when it involves an INVASION FORCE!|[[Sharsky|Sharkatron3000]]|[[The Real Effing Deal|The Real Effing Deal.com]]}}

==Fiction==
===''The Real Effing Deal''===
[[Sharsky|Sharkatron3000]] posted a clip on [[The Real Effing Deal]] from an interview of Obama when he was still running for president.
{{quote|If you are elected and you learned that the government knew aliens had visited Earth, and the public didn't know...would you be sure the public found out?|Channel 2 reporter}}
{{quote|It depends on what these aliens were like, and whether they were Democrats or Republicans.|Barack Obama}}

Sharkatron3000 took the interview as evidence that the President is completely unprepared for the prospect of alien visitors, because he treated the question as a joke.

Later, Leo Spitz cited the President's actions as a justification for his own video-blogging.{{storylink|The Real Effing Deal}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' film===

After coming to power, Obama [[Tales of the Fallen issue 2|retained]] <strike>Admiral</strike> General [[Morshower]] as the [[:wikipedia:Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff|Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff]].

Even though [[NEST]] had successfully destroyed the Decepticon infiltrators in [[Shanghai]], [[China]], the new President of the United States was horrified by the destruction caused during the operation. President Obama sent Director [[Theodore Galloway]] to [[Diego Garcia]] to outline the White House's criticisms of NEST's operations and their alliance with the alien Autobots, in particular [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s open invitation for Autobot refugees to come to [[Earth]]. They feared that reason the Decepticons being on Earth was to seek vengeance upon the Autobots and their allies, and when General Morshower attempted to defend [[William Lennox|Major Lennox]] and his men's judgement by stating they were above reproach, Galloway stated that as far as the President was concerned, ''nobody'' was above reproach. He directly asked Optimus Prime that if the President felt that the United States' national security was better served by having the Autobots leave Earth, would they do so peacefully? Optimus Prime agreed, but bluntly told Galloway to pass along a message to the President: What if the Autobots leave, and the humans are ''wrong?''

Soon afterwards, Optimus Prime was killed in battle defending [[Sam Witwicky]], and [[The Fallen]] began his invasion of Earth. Among the casualties were [[Paris]], [[France]], and the aircraft carrier [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71)|U.S.S. ''Theodore Roosevelt'']]; Obama was flown to a secure bunker. Appalled with the loss of over seven thousand lives (including American sailors), the President ordered the deactivation of NEST and the immediate transportation of the Autobots back to Diego Garcia, deciding instead to focus on a coordinated US military strategy against the Decepticon threat. Galloway also revealed that while battle plans were being drawn up, Obama was exploring "every diplomatic solution" as well and handing over Sam Witwicky was being considered as well.

Lennox would end up taking his NEST team on an unauthorised mission into [[Egypt|foreign territory without permission]] and also tricking Galloway into getting stranded in said country, but he's the hero and it worked out okay so as far as we know Obama let it slide. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

He reactivated NEST after this.

[[Image:TalesoftheFallen5_BarackObama.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Look, hurry up, I've got three more comics to cameo in before lunch. (Oh god, Youngblood's next isn't it?)"]]

When military forces failed to restrain a resurrected [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]], [[NEST]] recommended an [[United States Air Force|air strike]] on Ravage's bolthole. Barack Obama was asked to authorize the air strike, and did. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 5}}
{{--}}

===''Dark of the Moon'' film===
Following [[Sam Witwicky]]'s involvement in two events which saved the world from Decepticon actions, he was given a medal from President Barack Obama at the [[White House]]. Sam hoped the medal would have offered him more leverage into employment, but it did not, and at one specific job prospect he was turned away because the interviewer was not impressed, as the employees there were "mostly [[Republican]]". {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

==Notes==
* While on the campaign trail, the [[Wikipedia:Barack Obama|real-life Barack Obama]] met [[Michael Bay]] by chance in an airport, and the two had a mutually-complimentary conversation. Inspired by this encounter, Bay made a late-stage decision to add Obama's name and image to a brief scene in ''Revenge of the Fallen''.<ref>[http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/a160272/michael-bay-obama-likes-my-movies.html Michael Bay: 'Obama likes my movies'] at Digital Spy, and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfT7ZF_AUk8 Bay telling the story at a press conference.]</ref> It is unknown whether it occurred to Bay, or whether it was planned or not, that the movie's otherwise-unnamed President is essentially a villain (or perhaps a well-meaning bureaucrat) whose concerns almost doom Earth. Several critics winced over ''that'' one, assuming it was deliberate <ref>[http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1906689,00.html Time's review of "Revenge of the Fallen"]</ref> <ref>[http://www.philadelphiaweekly.com/screen/reviews/Transformers-Revenge-of-the-Fallen-49559047.html Philadelphia Weekly's review of ''Revenge of the Fallen'']</ref>, while some conservative movie critics and bloggers <ref>[http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjmnolte/2009/06/24/turnabout-transformers-2-takes-a-shot-at-president-obama/ Big Hollywood: Turnabout]</ref><ref>[http://www.residualforces.com/2009/06/29/transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen-obamas-first-dig/ Residual Forces blog review]</ref><ref>[http://hubpages.com/hub/Transformers-2-Revenge-of-the-Fallen--A-Political-Message A blogger's specific focus on the politics]</ref> rejoiced over it. As the film's writers are Democrat supporters, this was probably meant to be a stock genre plot - [[Autobot High Council|the bureaucratic government]] [[Council of Autobot Elders|stopping Our Boys from]] [[Maximal High Council|saving the day from the Enemy]] - rather than a deliberate dig.

* So how ''does'' the President of one country shut down a multinational organization on his own?

* In an [[Transformers_(Titan_Magazine)#Alternate_universe|alternate timeline]] presented in the UK Titan comics, in which the Decepticons were victorious in the battle of [[Mission City]], Obama did not become the next President of the United States. Instead, when the previous President was killed, fictional Vice President [[Theodore Allen]] succeeded him. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14}}

* The real-life Obama was the inspiration for much of [[Transcendent Technomorph|TransTech]] [[Optimus Prime (TransTech)|Optimus Prime]]'s [[bio]].

* Obama took a notably more dismissive view of the Autobots than his ally [[United Kingdom#Notes|Gordon Brown]].

* Obama [[Cheetor (BW)|likes pie]]. [http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100424/ap_en_tv/us_leno_axelrod]

* [[Kevin Michael Richardson]] voiced Obama in a animated version on the ''[[Batman]]: The Brave and the Bold'' episode "Cry Freedom Fighters!". Strangest thing is [[Tom Kenny|Plastic Man]] did not regonized him.

[[Image:JimCummings1.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Chubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff!]]
'''Jim Cummings''' (born [[November 3]], [[1952]]) is an American voice actor. One of the most popular and seasoned voice actors in the country, Jim Cummings might be best recognized for roles such as Leatherhead and The Shredder (whenever James Avery was unavailable) on ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'', Taz from ''Taz-Mania'', Monterey Jack and Fat Cat on ''Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers'', Darkwing Duck and Negaduck from ''Darkwing Duck'', Pete in ''Goof Troop'' and the ''Kingdom Hearts'' games, The Morocco Mole in ''Super Secret Secret Squrrel'', MODOK in [[Iron Man]], Cat from ''Catdog'', Ackar in ''Bionicle: The Legend Reborn'', [[Thor]] in the game ''Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2'', Thanos in ''The Super Hero Squad Show'' Season 2 and everyone's favorite, ''Winnie the Pooh'' (and Tigger too!).

He even took over as the singing voice of Scar for the musical number "Be Prepared" in ''The Lion King'' when Jeremy Irons developed vocal problems during recording. Not only that he replaced Christopher Lloyd as Rasputin's singing voice in Anatasia. He's so damn good that the Nostalgia Critic made mistook his signing voice for the other voice actors twice in the same review. ''Wow.''

*Sometimes Cummings sings karaoke with [[Peter Cullen]] in their Winnie the Pooh and Eeyore voices.
*In the 1990s, Cummings was the offical voice of former [[President of the United States]] Bill Clinton in two animated [[Marvel]] cartoons, ''Iron Man'' and ''[[Fantastic Four]]''. Both of them were part of a action block called ''The Marvel Action Hour''.
*No, he is not related to announcer [[Brian Cummings]].

[[Image:FrancescoQuinn.jpg|right|thumb|300px|I want to live forever.]]
'''Francesco Quinn''' ([[March 22]], [[1962]]–[[August 6]], [[2011]]) was an American actor. His first big role was in the 1986 film ''Platoon''. Some of his major parts were Tomas Del Cerro in ''The Young and the Restless'' (for which he was nominated for an award), Syed Ali in ''24'' and Zac in ''Placebo Effect''. He is the son of award-winning actor Anthony Quinn, with whom he worked several times.

Quinn sadly passed away on [[August 6]] [[2011]] due to a heart attack. ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]'' is his final role to date.

* We cannot canonically support any notion that Batman might have something to do with [[Superman]] or the [[Joker]]. To suggest such a link would be [[personal canon|irresponsible]] of us.

* The design of [[Optimus Primal]]'s bat form is an [[homage]] to Batman, whose action figure license was also held at the time by [[Kenner]]. His designer chose the [[black repaint|black]] color scheme to [[repaint]] him into [[Onyx Primal]], enhancing the mold's inherent resemblance to Batman.<ref>Page 78, Toy database section in ''[[Beast Wars Universe]]''</ref>

* The color scheme and double life of [[Ratbat (SG)|''Shattered Glass'' Ratbat]] is based on Batman. His secret identity color scheme, likewise, is based on Bruce Wayne's brown and mustard outfit from ''Batman: The Animated Series''.

* [[Searchlight (Animated)|''Animated'' Searchlight]]'s personality is based on Batman, specifically [[Frank Miller]]'s extreme grim-n-gritty take on the character.

* [[Sam Witwicky]] remarks that shining a spotlight of a truck on a cloud would be an impractical method for contacting [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] in the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|''Dark of the Moon'' novel]], a reference to Batman's famous Bat-Signal.

* Many ''Transformers'' voice actors have portrayed the Dark Knight over the years: [[Daran Norris]] voiced Batman in the toy-pack-in ''DC Super Friends'' DVD, [[Frank Welker]] and [[Corey Burton]] voiced different versions of The Dark Knight in the ''Batman: The Brave and the Bold'' episode "Bat-Mite Presents: Batman's Strangest Cases", [[Lex Lang]] voiced the Dick Grayson Batman in ''Brave and the Bold'''s "The Knights of Tomorrow" episode, [[Kirk Thornton]] voiced Batman in the Superman motion comic, ''Red Son'', [[Steve Blum]] voiced a Lego Batman in the video game, [[Tesshō Genda]] has been the Japanese voice of Batman since the '90s, and both Welker and [[Scott McNeil]] even voiced Batman's pet dog, Ace the Bat-Hound in ''Batman Beyond'' and ''Krypto the Superdog'' respectively. Wow!

* [[Wally Wingert]] is a big fan of the '60s show. In fact, Wally even made a single called ''Adam West''.

==Notes==
* [[Optimus Primal]]'s rescue of the [[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]] in the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' episode [[Victory (episode)|"Victory"]] was an homage to a traditional Superman rescue, complete with "Is it a bird?" "Maybe a plane?" and some very Superman-esque musical cues.
* Numerous ''Transformers'' voice actors have voiced the Man of Steel over the years. [[Beau Weaver]] voiced him in the Ruby-Spears 1988 ''Superman'' cartoon, [[Michael Daingerfield]], voiced him in the pilot episode of ''Krypto the Superdog'', [[Crispin Freeman]] voiced him in the ''Justice League: Heroes'' video game, [[Adam Baldwin]] voiced him in the ''Superman: Doomsday'' DVD movie, [[David Kaye]] voiced him in the toy pack-in DVD ''DC Super Friends'', [[David Lodge]] voiced him in the motion comic, ''Red Son'', and [[Nolan North]] voiced him in ''Young Justice''.

*[[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]

==Notes==
* Burton based Shockwave's voice on that of actor [[wikipedia:David Warner (actor)|David Warner]]—specifically, Warner's turn as the cold, mechanical Sark from Disney's ''Tron'', a character that Burton himself would actually later voice in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' video games.
*Corey Burton stated in an interview that [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] was by far his favorite character to perform in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original show]]. He does however think ''Animated'' Shockwave could take Generation 1 Shockwave in a fight.
*You should thank him as it was his wish to do more of Shockwave that [[Transformers Animated]] even got one in the first place.
*Although [[Steve Blum]] voiced [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]] in the "[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]" game, Burton performed the character for a Gamestop commercial. In a [http://www.coreyburton.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=853&sid=3992b18086e21d8f6face60940505757 forum post about the recording session], Burton lamented that the performance was so rushed, and the "gag" nature so out of character, that he felt it hardly even sounded like him.
*Corey Burton was offered the chance to audition for [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and Brawl (whether that's the [[Barricade (Movie)|police car Brawl]], the [[Blackout (Movie)|helicopter Brawl]] or [[Brawl (Movie)|tank Brawl]] isn't certain) for the [[Transformers (2007)|2007 ''Transformers'' live-action film]] but declined, explaining "[I] have practically no interest in that kind of mega-budget movie enterprise involvement".<ref>[http://www.coreyburton.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=2707&highlight=#2707 Corey Burton's message board post.]</ref>

'''Wheelie''' is a sneaky little salvage and [[scrap drone]]<ref>Hasbro's online [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/TRANSFORMERS-Glossary.cfm ''Transformers'' glossary].</ref>, always underfoot when you least expect it. As a reconnaissance specialist, he's equipped to the teeth with mid-range surveillance equipment. But his real asset is stealth, tooling along unseen and unsuspected while he accomplishes his mission. Unfortunately for his mission, he often bites off more than he can chew—and ends up being the one chewed on!

Although he does seem to have a bit of a "mouth" on him, Wheelie isn't really a ''bad'' sort: a loving home and a little strict discipline could whip him into shape. Allow disgruntlement with the Autobots to grow, however, and he may get ''mean''...

[[Image:Wheelie ROTF movie trailer.jpg|thumb|right|300px|No disassemble!]]

Disguised as a remote-controlled monster truck toy, Wheelie was ordered by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] to steal the [[AllSpark]] fragment that belonged to [[Mikaela Banes]]. Wheelie attempted to unlock the safe in her garage containing the fragment, but the noise he made in trying to avoid the various dangerous objects on the floor alerted her to his presence, so she picked him up with tongs and burnt out his left eye with a blowtorch. Mikaela then demanded to know what he was doing there, and Wheelie explained that he needed to bring the AllSpark shard to the Decepticons, or he'd be terminated, begging mercy of Mikaela, who he dubbed "Warrior Goddess". Despite his protests, Mikaela locked him inside a box, which she took to [[Princeton University]] when [[Sam Witwicky]] told her he had been having visions and breakdowns induced by the fragment. Although [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] later bisected Mikaela's car, Wheelie's box was undamaged and she retrieved and stored it in [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s boot.

Wheelie was let out of the box at [[Seymour Simmons]]'s deli in [[New York City]]. Mikaela held him with a chain, but promised she would not hurt him if he promised to explain the [[Cyberglyphics]] Sam had been hallucinating about. Wheelie identified the symbols as the Language of the [[Dynasty of Primes|Primes]], and said that he couldn't read it. When he noticed the pictures of suspected Transformers, he identified them as the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seekers]], saying they could read the language and he could tell them where to find them. Wheelie did, and he accompanied Mikaela, Sam, Simmons, [[Leo Spitz]], Bumblebee, [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] to find [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] at the Smithsonian.

[[Image:ROTF-Wheeliedryhumpsaleg.jpg|left|thumb|300px|This is the culmination of 25 years of Transformers fiction. You've come a long way, baby.]]
Upon locating the ancient Seeker, Wheelie told the humans that Jetfire was a living legend, like "chairman of the board" type, and instructed Sam to point the shard at the Blackbird. The surge of energon sent through Jetfire awoke the ancient Seeker, who was irritable and cantankerous, and Wheelie noted that Jetfire had not aged very well. As the larger Decepticon made his way outside, he inquired on the state of the civil war, and informed the group that he had defected years earlier. Wheelie was shocked by Jetfire's discussion of how he defected from the Decepticons to the Autobots, a thought which had never occurred to him, and decided he too would defect to Warrior Goddess, humping Mikaela's leg in joy. Sam objected, but Mikaela noted Wheelie was faithful, [[Alice|unlike]] her boyfriend. That did not stop Sam from punting Wheelie.

Wheelie was taken by Jetfire's [[space bridge]] to [[Jordan]], and from there he travelled with the humans and Autobots to the [[Pyramid]]s of [[Egypt]]. He was present in when Bumblebee was stopped by the Egyptian checkpoint officers. They arrived in Cairo, where he presumably decided to stay safely while everyone else searched for the [[Tomb of the Primes]]. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{Note|Wheelie is never seen again after entering the run-down building in Cairo with the human characters.}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' novelization===
In Egypt, Wheels stopped a police car by jumping onto its windscreen and smashing it, before Bumblebee and the Twins scared off the officers. After that he ripped off a wiper as a trophy, ran back to Mikaela and buried his face in her cleavage. Later, when the good guys had beaten the Decepticons, Wheelie spun around Sam and Mikaela happily in vehicle mode. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

It had been a year and a half since his defection, and the Autobots ''still'' didn't trust Wheelie (Ironhide in particular making no secret of his contempt) and he knew it. When he volunteered to help hit a Decepticon command hub and was rebuffed, Wheelie tore into the Autobots for how they would never trust him and how they were still waiting for him to backstab them. Bitter and angry, Wheelie went off... to backstab them, warning [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] of the Autobot/NEST strike team so they could be ambushed.

But Bludgeon was being backstabbed too, as Wheelie disabled the command hub's security features and summoned in [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to Earth. Megatron welcomed him back into the fold {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.20|Divided Loyalties}} and Wheelie knew that, with the true leader back, he could come back in from the cold. Yes, it had all gone well for Wheelie... until [[Dead End (ROTF)|Dead End]], half dead and crazed for "SPARE... PARTS!", came into the command hub.

Sam, Bumblebee and Wheelie took [[Brains]] to Sam's college, which the Decepticons promptly attacked. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2}} In the battle that followed, Wheelie alerted Sam that Brains was missing. This eventually led them to rescue Brains from [[Space Case (DOTM)|Space Case]]. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3}} Wheelie then welcomed Brains to the Autobots, causing Brains to tear up.

[[Image:DOTMWheelie.jpg|thumb|200px|I'm Back. Where's my coffee?]]
Wheelie, along with his new friend [[Brains]], moved in with Sam and [[Carly Spencer]], where they spent most of their time going through Carly's underwear or watching ''Star Trek'' reruns. Wheelie and Brains had a deep friendship, as shown by their constant companionship and their agreement on the [[Mikaela Banes|last girl]] being mean. However neither were exactly happy with their living arrangments, living in a box ''outside'' of the apartment itself, and had a [[Bonecrusher (dog)|dog]] for a neighbor. Wheelie complained about his living conditions, and said he wasn't so sure about moving in with Carly permanetly.

They went with their human housemates to the [[NEST]] base to reveal information to the Autobots, however their offer of help was turned down by [[Charlotte Mearing]]. Wheelie later noted that they were disrespected greatly, and decided they were safer with [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] at Sam and Carly's. However when the Autobots were forced to leave Earth by the human authorities, both Wheelie and Brains were captured and shoved into a small cage. They begged for help from Sam, warning him the whole thing was a Decepticons trap. The duo, along with the other Autobots, were presumed to be killed when [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] destroyed the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]'' shortly after take-off.

Thankfully, Wheelie and Brains survived along with the rest of the Autobots by hiding in one of the booster rockets, and came to the aid of Sam, [[Robert Epps|Epps]] and the human race in [[Chicago]]. Wheelie told them that he and the other Autobots would always help humanity and they soon marched off to battle, riding [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]] into the city. Unfortunately, Wheelie and Brains were left behind by the [[Wreckers]] when they were done distracting [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], having fallen off while they were firing.

[[Image:Dotm-brains&wheelie-hijack-1.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Wheelie and Brains in ''The Contrabulous Fabtraption of Professor Horatio Hufnagel''.]]

As they wandered through the streets hopelessly, mumbling about the lack of support, they happened upon a crashed Decepticon ship. They rode it up to one of the massive Decepticon "mother ships" hovering over Chicago that was controlling several smaller ships like the one they hijacked. Wheelie and Brains overrode the ship's controls, dropping several of the small fighters onto the battlefield, causing a distraction just at the right second for [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], preventing Bumblebee from being executed after [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Que]]. This also allowed the Autobots to gain an essential lead in the battle, proving the duo's worth in the end as the massive ship crashed into a large body of water below.

A prop for one of Wheelie's feet, complete with an attached tire, was also made.<ref name="udvarhazy"/>

* Wheelie was a bit different in earlier drafts of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' script. Originally, he was named "Wheels", and was a much more primitive little creature, speaking in a broken, simplistic dialogue—source of the "Warrior Goddess" epithet that seems fairly out of place with the fast-talking Italian accent he ultimately wound up with in the finished film. This version of the character appeared in the film [[Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|novelization]] in the [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] [[Revenge of the Fallen (comic series)|comic adaptation]], since they were both based on the script; furthermore, [[Simon Furman]] rather oddly kept using this portrayal of the character in [[Titan Books|Titan]]'s [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|UK comic]] several months after the film had come out before knocking it off about a year-and-a-half later.

*In their audio commentary on the ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' DVD and Blu-ray release, screenwriters [[Roberto Orci]] and [[Alex Kurtzman]] refer to Wheelie by his early working name, "Wheels". [[Michael Bay]], meanwhile, calls him by his toys' name.

*Seeing Mikaela for the first time, Wheelie describes her as "hot" but "not too bright." Interesting that a sentient machine would find a human [[Transformer romance|sexually attractive]]. He, in fact, humps her leg later in the movie.

*[[Titan Books|Titan Magazines]] and [[Hasbro UK]] seemed unaware of Wheelie's return in ''[[Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', since in their comics, Wheelie defected back to the Decepticons - in a way that left an Autobot dead - in one issue and then had him eaten in the next! The Autobots are unaware he betrayed them and talk like Ratchet can patch him up, but that seems a last-minute "oh whoops" patch-up.

*Despite changing sides in the previous movie, Wheelie still sports an embossed Decepticon symbol on his back in Dark of the Moon.

The '''Hulk''' is a very angry man. A fellow literally fueled by unstoppable rage, most would be satisfied with him causing property damage purely on an infantry level. Not [[Mister Fantastic]], though. No, Mr. Fantastic has instead encased this furious, really quite angry guy in a mechanized suit of transforming armor encased in plates of the same indestructible material as [[Captain America]]'s shield. As if this weren't an impressive, indeed inexplicable enough achievement, Mr. Fantastic has likewise fortified the mech's cockpit with hydraulic joint flexors, to allow the machine to absorb the Hulk's frantic thrashings and allow his battle suit to literally become stronger as its pilot grows angrier.

Some people might think this is overkill, but they're not Mr. Fantastic. Mr. Fantastic is a ''genius''.

The "mech mode" in the promo picture at right is incompletely transformed; the "wheel panels" of his shoulders should be rotated 90 degrees around his biceps, relative to the "tread panels". It also appears his shins have not been extended.

:He also has one tiny point of battle damage, a crater on one of the front tank tread covers. Apparently Hulk has been shot... once.

:A new mold Hulk toy, which transforms into a bulldozer. His bio pointed out the absurdity of Reed Richards giving the Hulk an indestructible battlesuit that turns into a tank.

==Notes==
* The Hulk was featured on the cover of [[Heavy Traffic!|''Transformers'' #22]], celebrating Marvel Comic's 25th anniversary.
* According to ''[[Beast Machines (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]'' DVD commentary by Story Editor [[Bob Skir]], [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]] is influenced by the Hulk.
* The creators of ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Transformers Animated]]'' likened [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]] to the Hulk, while [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] was likened to the [[Thing]].
* The Hulk had a pre-''Crossovers'' transforming robot toy in the Toy Biz ''Marvel Megamorphs'' line (back before [[Hasbro]] had the Marvel license), which used the scrapped design for ''[[Transtech]]'' [[Immorticon]] as its base. Why? Because [[Draxhall Jump]] worked on both ''Transtech'' and Megamorphs''.
*[[Fred Tatasciore]] is the current voice of the Hulk in almost every Marvel animation except for ''The Super Hero Squad Show'', where the Hulk is voiced by [[Travis Willingham]].
*The Hulk's alter ego, Dr. Bruce Banner was featured in the video game ''[[Marvel]]: Ultimate Alliance'', where he was voiced by [[Robin Atkin Downes]]. But The Hulk however, was a playable character only for the Gold Edition of the [[Xbox 360]] version of the game, where he was voiced by [[Peter Lurie]]. As Banner, he was held by M.O.D.O.K. and A.I.M. in the [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]] heilcarrier know as "The Omega Base".

'''Roy "Reno" Wilson''' (born [[January 20]], [[1970]]) is an American character actor, comedian and voice artist. Some of his better known roles are as Sonny on ''Martin'', Howard on ''The Cosby Show'', Officer Carlton "Carl" MacMillan in ''Mike and Molly'', Orlando in ''Crank'' and ''Crank 2: High Voltage'', Thirst in the Sprite commercials, Killer Bee in ''Naruto Shippudden'', Sazh Katzroy in ''Final Fantasy XIII'' (alongside [[Troy Baker]]), and the Black Baron in ''MadWorld'' (which stars [[Steve Blum]]).

His voice for Frenzy in the [[Transformers (2007)|live-action movie]] was apparently done real-time, without special editing to speed it up or modulate it.

==Voice roles==
===''Transformers'' (2007)===

===''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' (2009)===
* [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]

===''Transformers: Dark of the Moon'' (2011)===

==Notes==
*Apparently, as Mudflap, he was horrendously offensive to himself. That surprised him. <ref>[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/24/transformers-jivetalking-_n_220005.html The Huffington Post's coverage of the furor over the Twins]</ref>
*Wilson is the only actor in the series to have play 3 different characters in each movie.

[[Image:HuboomCommercial01.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Yes, Batman is on this Wiki. And yes, the only image of him we can use is the [[Wikipedia:Adam West|Adam West]] [[Wikipedia:Batman (TV series)|version]].]]

'''Batman''' wears a winged suit which he can use to cover himself, and he talks in a low, whispering voice. Apparently, he is best known for saying "I'm Batman."

==Fiction==
===Titan Magazine letters page===
[[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] is a Batman fan because of the amount of weapons in his car. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.2}}

===''Dark of the Moon'' novel===
[[Zimmerman]], while preparing to wing suit into [[Chicago]], wrapped his suit's stretched cloth around himself, pretending to be Batman. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (novel)|Dark of the Moon}}

==Notes==
* We cannot canonically support any notion that Batman might have something to do with [[Superman]] or the [[Joker]]. To suggest such a link would be [[personal canon|irresponsible]] of us.

* The design of [[Optimus Primal]]'s bat form is an [[homage]] to Batman, whose action figure license was also held at the time by [[Kenner]]. His designer chose the [[black repaint|black]] color scheme to [[repaint]] him into [[Onyx Primal]], enhancing the mold's inherent resemblance to Batman.<ref>Page 78, Toy database section in ''[[Beast Wars Universe]]''</ref>

* The color scheme and double life of [[Ratbat (SG)|''Shattered Glass'' Ratbat]] is based on Batman. His secret identity color scheme, likewise, is based on Bruce Wayne's brown and mustard outfit from ''Batman: The Animated Series''.

* [[Searchlight (Animated)|''Animated'' Searchlight]]'s personality is based on Batman, specifically [[Frank Miller]]'s extreme grim-n-gritty take on the character.

* [[Sam Witwicky]] remarks that shining a spotlight of a truck on a cloud would be an impractical method for contacting [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] in the [[Dark of the Moon (novel)|''Dark of the Moon'' novel]], a reference to Batman's famous Bat-Signal.

* Many voice actors in ''Transformers'' have portrayed the Dark Knight over the years: [[Daran Norris]] voiced Batman in the toy-pack-in ''DC Super Friends'' DVD, [[Frank Welker]] and [[Corey Burton]] voiced different versions of The Dark Knight in The ''Brave and The Bold'' episode "Bat-Mite Presents: Batman's Strangest Cases", [[Lex Lang]] voiced the Dick Grayson Batman in ''The Knights Of Tomorrow'', [[Kirk Thornton]] voiced Batman in the Superman motion comic, ''Red Son'', [[Steve Blum]] voiced a Lego Batman, [[Tesshō Genda]] has been the Japanese voice of Batman since the 90s and even [[Scott McNeil]] has voiced Ace the Bat-Hound in ''Krypto the Superdog''.

* [[Wally Wingert]] is a big fan of the 60's show. In fact, Wally even made a single called ''Adam West''.

Outside of ''Transformers'', he is known for voicing Buster Bunny on ''Tiny Toon Adventures'' (until John Kassir came in after his departure), Low Light on ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I.

His voice direction credits include, The ''Rugrats'' movies (taking over for [[Keythe Farley]], who does the show), and the sequel series ''All Grown Up'', ''The Wild Thornberrys'' and the feature film, ''The Replacements'', ''Dante's Inferno: An Animated Epic'', ''Dead Space: Downfall'', ''The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack'', and ''Rocket Power''.

[[Image:Wolverinemanmachine.jpg|right|300px|thumb|He's the best there is at what he does, and what he does is make gratuitous guest appearances.]]
'''Wolverine''', aka '''Logan''', is a diminutive military veteran cowboy from Canada who's famous for acting as a superhero. He is not [[Peter Cullen]].

His fleshy, hairy human exterior seems to hide some sort of [[wikipedia:Adamantium (comics)|metallic infrastructure]], which is [[Beast Wars (franchise)|not]] [[Pretender|unheard]] [[Zarak (G1)|of]] [[Sari Sumdac|by]] [[Transformer]]s. A [[Mutant (human)|mutant]] (no, not a [[Mutant (BW)|Mutant]]... or [[Mutant (G1)|that kind of mutant either]]), he has hyperadvanced healing abilities and incredibly acute senses.

He claims that he's the best at what he does, which apparently isn't very nice.

He's also a completely unlikable asshole. Naturally, this means he is nigh-indestructible and completely unstoppable and just rules over everything... [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] is probably [[Grimlock (G1)|having flashbacks]].

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 IDW comics continuity===
Wolverine was one of the [[Avengers]] sent to investigate the conflict between [[Latveria]] and [[Symkaria]] caused by the Decepticons. After entering a dome structure, the Avengers were attacked by the building's defenses and [[Spider-Man]] got kidnapped, which upset Wolverine. When the [[Autobot]]s arrived, Wolverine was confused by a [[Optimus Prime (G1)|talkin' truck]]. The only recourse was to attack the talkin' truck. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part One}} He was run over by [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]], but that only angered him further. He was about to redouble his assault until stunned by [[Doctor Doom]] and eventually calmed down when he was given a synapse regulator. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Two}} When the Decepticons attacked, Wolverine attacked [[Runabout (G1)|Runabout]], tearing into his windshield. While [[Luke Cage]] entered the dome structure to attempt to free Spider-Man, Wolverine stayed behind to hold the fort. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Three}} Wolverine accompanied Jazz and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] into the structure via an [[orbital bounce]], which made him feel as if his guts were on fire. He scented out [[Spider-Man]] and went into a rage when he saw [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] absorbing Spidey's powers, but was stopped by the web-slinger, who had volunteered to help recharge the Autobots. Wolverine then took his place, charging up both Prowl and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]]. After they left, Wolverine remained behind and destroyed the [[Psycho-Prism]]. He then fled as the feedback began to destroy the Decepticon array. He then commented that the Avengers' ship [[Ramjet (G1)|smelled funny]]. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Four}}

===Movie continuity===
When [[Robert Epps]] thought triple claw marks left in a thick steel wall were the result of an attack by [[Freddy Krueger]], [[Glen Whitmann]] pointed out that Freddy Krueger's got four claws. "That was ''Wolverine''!" With a voice lacking any hint of humor, [[Agent Simmons]] replied that his comment was very funny. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

===''Crossovers''===
Someone built Wolverine a large transforming [[Mech|battle suit]] which was both faster and more resistant to damage than any other mechs on the market. It mimics Wolverine's abilities by having advanced self-repair systems and sharp claws that can cut through metal.<ref>Packaging bio for ''Crossovers'' Wolverine.</ref> When Wolverine was part of the X-Force, whatever that is, he got a new battle suit which was black and extra stealthy.

* [[Optimus Primal]]'s rescue of the [[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]] in the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' episode [[Victory (episode)|"Victory"]] was an homage to a traditional Superman rescue, complete with "Is it a bird?" "Maybe a plane?" and some very Superman-esque musical cues.

'''Reno Wilson''' (born [[January 20]], [[1970]]) is an American character actor, comedian and voice artist. Some of his better known roles are as Sonny on ''Martin'', Howard on ''The Cosby Show'', Thirst in the Sprite commercials, Killer Bee in ''Naruto Shippudden'', Sazh Katzroy in ''Final Fantasy XIII'' (alongside [[Troy Baker]]), and the Black Baron in ''MadWorld'' (which stars [[Steve Blum]]).

His voice for Frenzy in the [[Transformers (2007)|live-action movie]] was apparently done real-time, without special editing to speed it up or modulate it.

* [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]

==Notes==
*Apparently, as Mudflap, he was horrendously offensive to himself. That surprised him. <ref>[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/24/transformers-jivetalking-_n_220005.html The Huffington Post's coverage of the furor over the Twins]</ref>
*Wilson is the only actor to have to play 3 different characters in each movie.

Hulk

2011-09-29T05:21:56Z

71.22.44.15: /* Notes */

:''Hulk is a character from the [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] portion of [[Crossovers]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:CrossoversHulkArt.jpg|thumb|325px|MEN KILLED BAMBI'S MOTHER!!]]

The '''Hulk''' is a very angry man. A fellow literally fueled by unstoppable rage, most would be satisfied with him causing property damage purely on an infantry level. Not [[Mister Fantastic]], though. No, Mr. Fantastic has instead encased this furious, really quite angry guy in a mechanized suit of transforming armor encased in plates of the same indestructible material as [[Captain America]]'s shield. As if this weren't an impressive, indeed inexplicable enough achievement, Mr. Fantastic has likewise fortified the mech's cockpit with hydraulic joint flexors, to allow the machine to absorb the Hulk's frantic thrashings and allow his battle suit to literally become stronger as its pilot grows angrier.

Some people might think this is overkill, but they're not Mr. Fantastic. Mr. Fantastic is a ''genius''.

:Hulk transforms from a big, green, shirtless man into a fanciful tank. The "mech mode" in the promo picture at right is incompletely transformed; the "wheel panels" of his shoulders should be rotated 90 degrees around his biceps, relative to the "tread panels". It also appears his shins have not been extended.

:He also has one tiny point of battle damage, a crater on one of the front tank tread covers. Apparently Hulk has been shot... once.

:A new mold Hulk toy, which transforms into a bulldozer. His bio pointed out the absurdity of Reed Richards giving the Hulk an indestructible battlesuit that turns into a tank.

:This mold was to be retooled to make the [[Thing]].

==Notes==
* The Hulk was featured on the cover of [[Heavy Traffic!|''Transformers'' #22]], celebrating Marvel Comic's 25th anniversary.
* According to ''[[Beast Machines (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]'' DVD commentary by Story Editor [[Bob Skir]], [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]] is influenced by the Hulk.
* The creators of ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Transformers Animated]]'' likened [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]] to the Hulk, while [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] was likened to the [[Thing]].
* The Hulk had a pre-''Crossovers'' transforming robot toy in the Toy Biz ''Marvel Megamorphs'' line (back before [[Hasbro]] had the Marvel license), which used the scrapped design for ''[[Transtech]]'' [[Immorticon]] as its base. Why? Because [[Draxhall Jump]] worked on both ''Transtech'' and Megamorphs''.
*[[Fred Tatasciore]] is the current voice of the Hulk in almost every Marvel animation except for ''The Super Hero Squad Show'', where the Hulk is voiced by [[Travis Willingham]].
*The Hulk's alter ego, Dr. Bruce Banner was featured in ''Marvel: Ultimate Alliance'', where he was voiced by [[Robin Atkin Downes]]. But The Hulk however, was a playable character only for the Gold Edition of the [[Xbox 360]] version of the game, where he was voiced by [[Peter Lurie]].
