:''Buzz Lightyear is a spaceman from the [[Disney Label]] continuity.''

'''Buzz Lightyear''' is a [[toy]] that presumably ventures out into infinity... and quite possibly even ''beyond''.

*'''Buzz Lightyear Spaceship''' (2010)

Buzz Lightyear transforms from a movie-accurate Spaceman into a vehicle closley resembling his spaceship from Toy Story fiction. As the other two Disney Label transformers have their respective pilots disappear and reappear in different uniforms during transformation, Buzz Lightyears figure features a Headmaster like method; the Buzz Lightyear pilot figure is removed during transformation, and then flipped over to reveal the robot mode head on the other side of him, which is then inserted into the robot body. He is the first Disney Label figure to not have a "transformerized" robot head, which is just kept as his classic styling from the movies.

:''Ravage is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:ROTF_Ravage_promo.jpg|thumb|400px|Twisted tales of Felix the death-dealing moggy.]]

'''Ravage''' specializes in infiltration. A frequent partner of [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], he does the dirty work of the larger Decepticon. Ravage's body and armament are all dedicated to hitting the enemy before they even know what hit them. He can be orbitally inserted at fifteen times the speed of sound, spy inside highly secure locations using swarms of [[Microcon (ROTF)|microcons]], and generally ruin your day. He respects the danger [[human]]s present though, as they were the ones who managed to kill [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]].

Some doubt Ravage's sentience, and there is debate on the degree to which he is a distinct entity, rather than an extension of Soundwave's will.<ref>[[Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe]]</ref> However, he's displayed guile, cunning, and split-second tactical thinking, making it hard for others to believe he does not have some innate intelligence. <ref>[[Transformers Comic issue 2.4|Titan Ravage Profile]]</ref> In reality, Ravage just considers the other Decepticons ''beneath'' him, and allows his eerie, silent ways and manner to alienate him from his comrades. Soundwave is the one exception: the two are kindred spirits, understanding each other's true nature and motives. <ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro Battle Bios]</ref>

After the [[crab spy]] successfully infiltrated [[NEST]] headquarters at [[Diego Garcia]], it made its way back to the sea where Ravage was waiting to pick it up. {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}

[[Image:Titan4_Ravagedescends.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Ceiling cat is watching you masturbate.]]

Ravage was dispatched to NEST's [[United Kingdom|Scotland]] base to find, interrogate, and kill [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] before they could pass on information about the Decepticon plans. Easily breaking into one of the most secure bases on Earth, he went on to swiftly knock out [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]] and attempt to rip into the twins. While they were able to evade him, Ravage shrugged off any attack and finally cornered Mudflap, broadcasting Soundwave's demands to him.

This, however, was a trap the twins had set up, and Ravage found himself trapped in a simulated combat exercise. To escape, he faked unconsciousness and then snuck out the back when nobody was looking. But he made sure to bug the base before he left... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}}

[[Image:Titan2-4 SkidsRavage.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Said the Cat, I know a fun game I will win. I think it is called Dismember the Twin!]]

When the twins temporarily pretended to defect, poor Ravage had to listen to them nattering throughout briefings. Not even his ominous growl would silence them! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

[[Image:Ravagerotfteaser.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Meowth! That's right!]]
From his vantage point high in orbit above Earth, Ravage's master [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] located the last remaining shard of the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]] in a [[NEST]] holding facility on [[Diego Garcia]], and dispatched Ravage to retrieve it. Launched from Soundwave's chest, Ravage plummeted through Earth's atmosphere in re-entry mode and impacted just off Diego Garcia's shore, bounding to land in the blink of an eye. Quickly and stealthily, the feline Decepticon knocked several of the base's security sensors offline to cover his approach, then proceeded to vomit a large quantity of [[Microcon (ROTF)|small, metallic spheres]] down a ventilation shaft. Once inside the base, the spheres transformed and combined into "[[Reedman]]", who successfully stole the shard and returned to the surface to reunite with Ravage. As the human soldiers attempted stop Reedman, Ravage provided cover fire, killing several humans in the process. The pair then made their escape.

[[Image:ROTF-Ravagefires.jpg|left|250px|thumb|He arms himself in case a Monday comes along.]]

Having secured the shard, Ravage traveled to the ''[[Bayos]]'', a human freighter carrying the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] which was passing the area of the sea in which [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] was buried. After diving over the side of the barge and reaching the bottom where Megatron's body rested, Ravage ejected [[Scalpel|the Doctor]] from a compartment in his chest. While the Constructicons began to tear apart the "[[Ze little one|little one]]", Ravage was going for a swim, apparently enjoying the water, but quickly ended his little frolic when the Doctor demanded the shard. After the Doctor resurrected Megatron using the AllSpark shard, Ravage and the Constructicons swam up to the surface following their revived leader.

[[Image:ROTF Ravage death.JPG|thumb|right|250px|Remember to spay and neuter your pets. ''Or Bumblebee will kill them''.]]
Some time later, Ravage joined the other Decepticons in searching for [[Sam Witwicky]] and the [[Matrix of Leadership]] amid some [[Egypt]]ian ruins. The forces of NEST soon arrived, and [[Operation: Firestorm|battle]] broke out, complicating their search. Spotting Sam, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] instructed [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] to release [[Ron Witwicky|Ron]] and [[Judy Witwicky]]. Ravage jumped out of the Constructicon when he ejected the fleshlings, and went stalking. [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] managed to get the jump on Rampage, and Ravage in turn jumped on Bumblebee's head, clawing off part of his battle helmet. Unfortunately for Ravage, Bumblebee still had plenty of fight left in him, and he promptly dispatched the killer kitty by ''tearing out'' Ravage's own goo-covered spine. ''Ouch''. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}
{{-}}

===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Months after Ravage's death at the hands of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], his reconstructed form was brought back on-line in an undisclosed location by a mysterious new master. Subsequently, Ravage appeared outside [[Guantanamo Bay]], searching for a "new target". Ravage snuck in, found the remains of the [[appliancebot]]s and appropriated them. Ravage lept into the ocean to escape the military, who had located him.

Ravage emerged on a beach near [[MacDill Air Force Base]]. Though he curled up on the ground to wait for further instructions from his unknown benefactor, he was once again discovered. Ravage destroyed several helicopters before being surrounded by soldiers and jeeps. To bolster his defensive, he unleashed [[Reedman]], and although the smaller robot was eventually taken down, it provided the distraction needed to allow Ravage to escape into a [[Kingdom Petrochemicals|petrochemical plant]].

Deciding the relatively subtle approach wasn't working, officials at the White House asked the [[President of the United States]] for permission to level the plant. As the explosion engulfed the plant, Ravage tried to conceal himself beneath its foundation. Ravage's attempt to survive was mostly successful; his damaged form was still online, waiting in a pit beneath the rubble for new instructions. The remnants of the smuggled appliancebots reached out to him with streams of energy... {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 5}}

Shortly after, Soundwave, disturbed by Ravage's reactivation, dispatched a quartet of minions (Buzzsaw, Rumble, Beastbox and Ratbat) to investigate. This soon erupted into a conflict with cleanup crews and Autobot reinforcements, which prompted Soundwave to intervene. Although the battle resulted in several casualities on both sides, Ravage was undisturbed. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 1}}

*'''Soundwave''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-04'''
**''Accessories:'' 1 Ravage missile

:Soundwave comes with an intricately sculpted missile that appears to represent Ravage in transition form. He can't transform, though. Bummer.

*'''Ravage''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number''

:Part of the third wave of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class toys, Ravage transforms from "panther mode" into a [[transition form|"reentry mode."]] (The "reentry mode" is exactly as involved as it looks.) By pulling back on a lever located on the small of his back, Ravage's head will snap forward and his jaws will open; sliding the lever back and forth will reverse and reactivate the gimmick. His tail actually comes off...that means his toy meets the same fate.

Soundwave is [[redeco]]ed in predominantly blue as an homage to the [[Soundwave (G1)|original Soundwave]]. The Fallen was unchanged from his original release.

All you need is the order form and "starter sticker" from the NEST Alliance two-pack, stickers from two additional specially-marked NEST Global Alliance products, $4.95 for shipping and handling, and 6-8 weeks. His deco includes vacuum-metalized plastic and seems to be an homage to Voltron's Black Lion. The [[ball joint]] joining his torso to his hind legs from the original version has been replaced with a [[swivel joint]], and his tail is [[retool]]ed as well to remove the rotational articulation just above the middle hinge.

:Ravage is mailed in a white box with the NEST logo on it. Also, it comes with a letter from Optimus Prime and a $5 off coupon for ROTF toy purchases over $20.

Or by manually holding the two halves of the pod apart so that Ravage pops out. Oddly there are what appear to be four holes on either side of the pod, perhaps so Ravage has air holes to breathe through.

{{-}}

==Notes==

* Ravage and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] were part of an early draft for [[Transformers (2007)|''Transformers'']]. However, when Soundwave was changed to [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and the initial jungle setting was replaced with a desert, Ravage was changed to [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]].
* As with poor [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], sources differed on how sentient Ravage was. Luckily for Ravage, Hasbro's website outright states him to be a sentient being.
*Whether through misinformation or to hide his identity, the Ravage deluxe figure shows up in the Wal-Mart computers as "TRA DLX WOLF". Of course, they're [[Andy Reid|not the first to make this mistake]]. However when it scans at a register, it commonly comes up as "TRA MOV PANTHER".
*In the ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' novelization, Ravage has a flying [[alternate mode]]. He flew out to the freighter where the four Constructicons were waiting and transformed on deck. While descending into the ocean, he was described as a sphere, so he might have two alternate modes. (His Burger King toy perhaps?)
* Despite having a red/orange eye in the movie, all the Ravage toys and merchandise have a purple one... until his Legends figure.
* On his blog, Furman said that Ravage's spine-torn death was a late addition to the film... so late that [[IDW Publishing]] had already made Ravage a key part of their post-ROTF comics! Quick, to the Rewritemobile! [http://simonfurman.wordpress.com/2009/07/25/next-up-%e2%80%94-transformers-nefarious/]
* Originally, Ravage was intended to also have an aquatic alternate mode, where he swam to Diego Garcia as a spike covered fish.<ref>[[Revenge of the Fallen DVD field guide#Two-disc Special Edition - (approximately $22.00)|Deconstructing Visual Bayhem]] on the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' special two-disc release.</ref> The reason for dropping this was not stated.
*Ravage was in an early draft of [[Reign of Starscream]], but was dropped at Hasbro's request.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/members/mowry-73165.html#vmessage167559]</ref>

'''Iron Man''', aka '''Anthony Edward Stark''', appears to be the most sensible member of his species.

{{factions|decepticonfilm}}
:''Meantime is a [[Decepticon]] [[Real Gear Robot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Meantime robot.jpg|right|250px|thumb|He hates the all, the all of you. The plants of green and the skies of blue.]]
'''Meantime''' is one of many small robots who was once a normal machine brought to life by the power of the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]]. Gifted with incredible time-based powers, and cursed with the petty humor to never use them to their fullest. Not only can he slow time around him, but also speed it up and even stop it...and selectively use this on other things too! He'd be almost invaluable to the Decepticons...if he chose to use his powers for something OTHER than making humans get into accidents, then "rewinding" time to watch them do it again.

:Meantime transforms into a (non-functional) digital wristwatch of a made-up model. Like all [[Real Gear Robots]] toys, his robot mode is apparently at 1:1 scale. Meantime's display reads the time of 5:17 and 40 seconds, with a date of Wednesday, January 2nd. The display face flips around to display the time properly as a watch, and then again to align for robot mode. He has an Auto-Morph feature as well: Pulling his legs down makes his head and shoulders rise as part of the transformation. You'll need the tiny wrists of a little girl to pull off wearing him in watch mode without cutting off all the circulation to your hand.

* The next time [[January 2|January 2nd]] falls on a Wednesday is 2013. Your Meantime figure acts as a functional watch for one second, roughly every seven years.

When armies of [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicons]] conquered [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], young '''Nightscream''' survived alone in the darkness below the surface of the planet. This trauma influences much of his behavior. He's always on the defensive. Paranoid. Rude. Distrusting. Confrontational. But really, he's just a troubled kid, and he's been through a lot. Inside, he's got a good heart. He's just got to learn to stop fighting friends and enemies alike.

Regardless, he seems to have found a kindred spirit in the wild [[Noble]] creature.

==Fiction==

:''Voice Actor:'' [[Alessandro Juliani]] (English), [[Nobutoshi Canna]] (Japanese)

[[Image:ForbiddenFruit prebeast Nightscream.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
When the Vehicons and their virus struck, Nightscream ran and panicked like many Maximals. Fleeing underground, he fell down a hole during the attack, and everything went dark. Though he would not recall the details later, somehow he wandered into a [[fossil cave|cave]] bearing the fossils of a strange, gigantic bat-creature, and his internal DNA scanners used them to reformat him an organic beast form and save him, at least temporarily, from the virus. Nightscream's mental state at this point is unknown, but he seems to have spent the next period trapped in his bat form, hiding and feeding off a strange fruit tree he found growing below the planet's surface. Eventually, [[Optimus Primal]] and company arrived and, distrustful, he began to spy on their activities, hoping to work out how to transform.

Nightscream fled when they spotted him, flying through the tunnels until they managed to corner him. When [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]] turned up, Nightscream accused them of leading the Vehicons to him, but after they began fighting the [[Sonic Attack Jet|aero drones]], he realised his mistake and used a sonic cry to disorientate the Vehicons. He subsequently lead the other Maximals to his tree. [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] suspected a trap on the part of [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], more so when the other Maximals ate the fruit and reverted to their beast instincts, but Nightscream objected loudly to the accusation. They were shortly found by Jetstorm again, forcing Cheetor to destroy the fruit tree to restore his friends, but to Nightscream's anguish. The young Maximal was injured by the Vehicons during the battle, and Primal reformatted him into a [[technorganic]] bat. Reveling in his new form, Nightscream used a sonic scream to destroy the aero drones and drained energon from Jetstorm. Afterward, he accepted Cheetor's invitation to join the Maximal team. {{storylink|Forbidden Fruit}}

With Primal weakened by the reformatting, Cheetor, Nightscream and [[Rattrap]] went on a mission to gather information from a Vehicon factory. Nightscream discovered that disabling the [[Vehicon general]]s disabled all of the drones they controlled. However, the plan they developed was inadvertently ruined by Rattrap, who'd thought that Nightscream was in trouble. Annoyed at Rattrap's foul-ups, Nightscream suggested they get rid of him, but Cheetor angrily turned down the idea, saying that they should cover for their friend. Unknown to them, the discussion led Rattrap to join Megatron, albeit temporarily, and the Maximals later found themselves confronting their comrade. It was only when Primal interceded that Rattrap rejoined them. {{storylink|The Weak Component}}

[[Image:Revelations3 Nightscream.jpg|thumb|left|220px]]
After another encounter with [[Thrust (BM)|Thrust]], Nightscream became dissatisfied with Primal's ability to lead and suggested Cheetor take command, though his suggestion was rebuffed. They later discovered a factory of corpses with evidence of [[spark]] removal. The factory was destroyed in another battle, and Nightscream was saddened at the loss, though Rattrap pointed out they could build new bodies when they found the sparks. {{storylink|Revelations Part I: Discovery}} With Cheetor in command, the Maximals set about trying to access [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]]'s memories so they could find out what happened. Nightscream and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] were assigned to keep Thrust and Jetstorm busy, but Blackarachnia's belief that Thrust housed the spark of her lover, [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]], resulted in her being overpowered by the two generals. Nightscream attempted to help, but was unable to stop Thrust extracting Blackarachnia's spark. {{storylink|Revelations Part II: Descent}} Nightscream pursued the two generals, retrieving Blackarachnia's spark from Jetstorm before dropping an elevator on the Vehicon. After then defeating Thrust, he was able to restore the spark to Blackarachnia's body, and the pair joined Cheetor and Rattrap, who had discovered that Tankor was their old friend [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]]. Rhinox, unfortunately, was siding with Megatron's view of a technological Cybertron, and Primal insisted they let him go. {{storylink|Revelations Part III: Apocalypse}}

[[Image:Survivor Nightscream sonic.jpg|right|thumb|200px]]
Rattrap's attempts at accessing Nightscream's memories turned up the fact that he had a built-in DNA scanner, providing a vital clue. He clashed with the other Maximals over their losing of the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]], however, and was reminded that they'd lost friends during that war. The Maximals headed for the cave which had housed Nightscream's fruit tree, only to find it had been sealed off. As Nightscream tried to use his sonic scream to break through, they were attacked by Vehicons, and Nightscream was abducted. The [[Diagnostic Drone]] attempted to analyse Nightscream's physiology, but the young Maximal was able to escape, pursued through the underground corridors by the Vehicons. With the help of the other Maximals, he eluded his captors, eventually ending up an a cave full of fossils. The realisation that, had he not been caught up in himself, he could have saved other [[Transformer]]s, caused Nightscream great anguish. Optimus commiserated with him, and the Maximals took up residence in the cave. {{storylink|Survivor}}

[[Image:TheKey Nightscream holding skull.jpg|left|thumb|270px|Alas, poor whoever he was.]]
After Tankor found the [[Key to Vector Sigma]] and confronted the Maximals, Nightscream threw himself between the Vehicon and Optimus, taking a blast from the key and being turned into [[technomatter]]. Losing his sanity, Nightscream passed the technomatter sickness on to Blackarachnia before the other Maximals were able to use the [[organic goo]] they'd discovered to cure them both. {{storylink|The Key}} Nightscream, Optimus and Cheetor rescued Rattrap from some overgrowing vines after Rattrap discovered a catalyst to improve the goo. Though Optimus forbade them from using the catalyst in combat, the other three used it to rescue Blackarachnia from the Vehicons, which almost spelled doom for the Maximal orchard. {{storylink|The Catalyst}}

After Primal discovered the location of the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]], the other Maximals persuaded him to try it their way first, and, while Rattrap attempted to tap into Megatron's computer, the other Maximals fought against the Vehicons. Unfortunately, they were overpowered and converted into technomatter by the Vehicon drones. {{storylink|End of the Line}} The clashing energies of the Key and the Plasma Energy Chamber cancelled each other out, restoring the four Maximals, who discovered that Optimus, Megatron and Tankor had all perished during the final battle. Finding no answers above ground, they traveled down to see the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]], and, finding Primal floating within, persuaded him to choose life and rejoin them. {{storylink|Fallout}}

[[Image:SavageNoble Nightscream narrowed eyes.jpg|right|260px|thumb]]
On discovering a [[Grand Mal|giant floating head]] with the likeness of Megatron, Blackarachnia and Nightscream attempted to infiltrate it, only to be repelled by its defences. The Maximals soon encountered a dragon-like beast dubbed Savage by the Vehicons, and shortly after, a wolf Maximal named [[Noble]], whom Nightscream regarded as a kindred spirit and quickly befriended. When Noble went missing, Nightscream worried that Savage had killed their new friend. However, once they cornered Savage, Nightscream was able to talk to the beast, and it transpired that Savage and Noble were one and the same, a completely organic Transformer. {{storylink|Savage Noble}} Nightscream valued his new friendship, even rebuking the other Maximals over their treatment of Noble. When the other Maximals infiltrated the [[Council Citadel]], Noble dashed in after them, and Nightscream followed. During their attempt to access Megatron's computer, Noble ripped Rattrap from the [[control harness]] and attempted to use it himself. Failing, he used a [[spark extractor]] to rip his own spark out and took over the giant flying head. In reality, Noble had been Megatron, trapped in his own organic half, and had taken advantage of Nightscream's compassion. Nightscream was shattered by the betrayal. {{storylink|Prometheus Unbound}}

[[Image:InDarkestKnight Nightscream and Noble.jpg|left|200px|thumb]]
Noble himself lived on, though sparkless and lacking in intelligence. Nightscream didn't give up on his friend, and he searched [[Cybertropolis]] at length. During a battle with Vehicons, Nightscream was knocked out by Thrust but rescued by Savage, who dragged him off. Nightscream recovered to find himself in Noble's lair, being offered metallic fruit. An ill-advised rescue attempt on Rattrap's part caused Noble to revert to Savage and chase the pair. They were able to divert his attention to Thrust, and Nightscream insisted that they should try to help Noble, but Primal said he would come to them when he was ready. {{storylink|In Darkest Knight}}

Megatron's re-engineered [[Hate Plague]] virus infected all of the Maximals, causing them to fight amongst themselves until Optimus was able to help them overcome it. Despite this, Nightscream blamed Silverbolt for the virus's spread. {{storylink|A Wolf in the Fold}} After a spaceship crashed, the Maximals headed for the site. Nightscream and [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]] took the option of going by air, though Nightscream made it obvious he wasn't enthusiastic about being partnered with the new Maximal. After encountering a strange plant creature, the Maximals were surprised to discover it was a Maximal named [[Botanica]]. Once again, they found themselves fighting [[Tank Drone|tank drones]], and at one point Silverbolt saved Nightscream's life, finally turning the young Maximal's opinion of him. {{storylink|Home Soil}}

Nightscream's attempts to persuade Silverbolt to be nicer to Blackarachnia were interrupted when the pair encountered two new Vehicon generals, [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]] and [[Strika (BM)|Strika]]. The other Maximals joined the fight, but were outclassed and trapped by the new generals until Botanica rescued them. {{storylink|Sparkwar Pt. I: The Strike}} In search of the missing sparks, Optimus and Nightscream ventured underground, finding the ancient city of [[Iacon]]. While Primal was conferring with a hologram of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], Nightscream found himself being overwhelmed by [[Motorcycle Drone|cycle drones]] and was only rescued by the arrival of Savage. Later, Optimus revealed that he'd discovered the location of the missing sparks. {{storylink|Sparkwar Pt. II: The Search}}

[[Image:Sparkwar3 Nightscream and dead Noble.jpg|right|240px|thumb]]
Nightscream, Cheetor and Silverbolt fought the Vehicons while the others infiltrated the giant floating head. However, they were too late to prevent Megatron's attempt at ascension, fueled by the captured sparks. As Megatron attempted to remove Nightscream's spark, Savage came to their aid and attempted to attack Megatron, only to be blasted by the evil spark. Savage fell to the ground and reverted to Noble, who died in Nightscream's arms. Enraged, Nightscream used his sonic attack to blast Megatron, apparently destroying the evil spark. The Maximals later held a funeral service for Noble. {{storylink|Sparkwar Pt. III: The Siege}} Though the Maximals celebrated Megatron's demise, their enemy lived on as a disembodied spark. Megatron was unable to maintain the use of a single body for long, and Nightscream and Cheetor tangled with him in the body of a deceased aero drone. Megatron eventually became stuck in the form of a Diagnostic Drone. {{storylink|Spark of Darkness}}

[[Image:Endgame1 Nightscream sonic attack.jpg|left|240px|thumb]]
With the Maximals besieged on the giant head, Nightscream, Silverbolt and Blackarachnia attempted to keep the Vehicons busy. They were able to find a Vehicon factory, where Nightscream tricked Megatron and managed to blow up the facility. Though the trio was able to catch Botanica's pod when Rattrap ejected her from the head, they were unable to do anything when the Vehicons brought the giant head itself crashing to the ground. {{storylink|Endgame Pt. I: The Downward Spiral}} As the Maximals prepared for the Vehicon assault, Optimus consulted the Oracle, and they were bestowed with extra spark power. During the battle, Botanica became aware that the Vehicons were attacking the [[technorganic orchard]], and she went to save it with Rattrap and Nightscream. Nightscream attempted to defend the fossil cave, but was overwhelmed and, like the other Maximals, had his spark ripped out. {{storylink|Endgame Pt. II: When Legends Fall}} Though unable to help physically, the Maximals offered Primal moral support during his one-on-one battle with Megatron. After the [[Great Reformatting|reformatting of Cybertron]], Nightscream's spark was restored to his body, and he and the other Maximals found themselves in a technorganic paradise. {{storylink|Endgame Pt.

[[Image:NightscreamMol.jpg|right|thumb|300px|This looks way more phallic than it needs to.]]
During Megatron's rule over Vehicon-held Cybertron, Nightscream and Optimus Primal were able to recover a trio of [[Deployer]]s from a remote location far outside of [[Cybertropolis]]. With [[Tank Drone]]s hot on their trail, the intervention of [[Primal Prime]] and the [[Wreckers]] were eventually required to save them. The Wreckers introduced themselves, and Optimus Primal, Nightscream, and the Deployers accompanied the Wreckers to the Oracle, where other groups had assembled before it to be given instruction. However, at the end of this meeting, the memories of Nightscream and Primal were wiped, their bodies were taken back to the surface, and the Deployers were stolen away by [[Packrat]]. {{storylink|Departure}}

A week after the [[Great Reformatting]], the [[Quintesson]]s invaded [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. However, [[Botanica]] felt that the true threat was below ground, and she took Nightscream and Rattrap into the subterranean chambers. Here they stumbled upon [[Al-Badur]], a rogue Quintesson, who convinced them he was aiding the [[Wreckers]], and thus on their side, by disabling 30% of the Quintesson invading forces up on the surface.

Shortly thereafter, they met up with the Wreckers proper. As Rattrap spent forever catching up with Tigatron, Nightscream reminded them that they should probably pay more attention to [[Cryotek (RID)|Cryotek]], who was in the planet's core attempting to use the [[Divine Light]] to usurp the power of [[Primus]] and become a [[god]]. Under Al-Badur's direction, the large group eventually made their way to a [[Quintesson execution chamber]] that the Quintesson hoped would help them banish Cryotek to another dimension... if they could lure the Predacon there.

But when Cryotek arrived, he had already grown monstrous due to the Divine Light's effects. Nightscream and some of the others attacked the former gangster, but when Nightscream tried to use his fang attack on him, Cryotek was able to grab the line that connected Nightscream to the projectile fangs and slam Nightscream into [[Rotorbolt (Universe)|Rotorbolt]]. Al-Badur was able to trap Cryotek in a containment bubble that would imminently vanish their nemesis, but the Wreckers leader [[Sentinel Maximus]] was caught inside it with him. Nightscream and the others tried to destroy the bubble, but the young Maximal's sonic attack had no effect. Only the combined efforts of [[Rodimus Major]] and [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] were able to thwart it, though the strain killed Rodimus. Nightscream was stunned into near silence, as he'd only read things about Rodimus' younger days, and the sacrifice awed him. But Rodimus's sacrifice was negated by Sentinel Maximus's, who had pushed himself and Cryotek through the portal in the bubble into the void beyond.

When the media arrived, Nightscream was eager to hog the spotlight, but [[Rook (Universe)|Rook]] ignored him. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

===''Transformers Legends'' anthology===
While attacking the Maximals in a trashed Jet drone, Megatron noted that he hated Nightscream for interrupting his ascension. Nightscream attempted to use his taser fangs on Megatron, who used the connection to shock the Maximal, whilst wondering whether any of Nightscream's verbal outbursts ever made any sense. {{storylink|Singularity Ablyss}}

===''TransTech''===
[[Image:Nightscreamtranstechbat.jpg|left|250px|thumb|If he says "music to my ears", we will end him.]]
In an alternate universe, the Autobots and Decepticons had grown too decrepit to continue waging the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. Constructing the Maximals and Predacons as new armies to continue the conflict, an entire generation of Cybertronians was brought up knowing nothing but war. Nightscream was a member of [[Blackarachnia (BW)#TransTech|Blackarachnia]]'s squad, and after the death of Rhinox and Silverbolt conspired with her to kill their commander, Optimus Primal. After Primal's demise, he fled with her and activated an experimental [[transwarp]] device, seeking to flee Cybertron. The device transported them to [[Axiom Nexus]], where they were discovered by the native [[Transcendent Technomorph]]s, processed, and assigned to [[Alpha Trion (SG)|Alpha Trion]]. Taking advantage of Nightscream's discontent, Trion was able to sway him to his cause and procured [[Nightscream (TransTech)|a suitable body]] to transfer his spark to. His new body proving to be a significant upgrade, Nightscream was all too happy to join the rebellion. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 25|"TransTech" Blackarachnia's profile in Club magazine #25}}

After returning to Alpha Trion's lab, Nightscream claimed to have discovered where [[Megatron (TransTech)|Megatron]] and his cronies had taken [[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]]. With this information, Alpha Trion announced an attack on the location that very night. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 4}}

{{charstubfiction}}

Weeks later, after the assassination of [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]], Nightscream and [[Sky Lynx (SG)|Sky Lynx]] followed Alpha Trion to confront Optimus Prime, intent on his assassination as well. Unfortunately, the three had not counted on Prime's new warrior, [[Omega Doom]], and Sky Lynx and Nightscream stared dumbfounded after one blast left their leader a distant smear on the ground. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 5}}

===Beast Machines===
*'''Nightscream''' (Ultra, 2000)
: This massively out of scale Nightscream (although one could make the case that it is in scale with the later supreme-size Optimus Primal and Cheetor) was fairly show-accurate. The beast mode is a transorganic bat. It was molded entirely in transparent blue plastic, with some brown paint details to match his show model. The 2 main gimmicks of this figure are its disc launcher and "kick-attack" mode. The disc launcher is very similar to the kind Beast Wars Depth Charge uses, and fires translucent blue discs. The launcher itself has a red LED in it that will illuminate the discs and the surrounding body parts. In robot mode the disc launcher can only be used when the "chest door" is opened and it is swung forward (as it faces down in this mode). In beast mode the disc launcher can remain concealed while firing discs. The "kick-attack" mode is really more of a pose for the beast mode. Nightscream's wings actually have little folding-out "feet" on its longest points. These can support the beast mode and by putting the bat feet a little forward, you can make Nightscream kick forward by pushing on his back. This never really worked too well, as the figure usually fell over and the arm joints that allow him to swing were always too stiff. Perhaps one aspect that was pulled off well was Nightscream's little streak of hair included in the head sculpt.
{{charstubtoys}}

*'''Nightscream''' (Happy Meal toy, 2000)
: Greatly simplified for the tykes, Nightscream's fast-food exclusive toy is nonetheless a fairly accurate representation of his cartoon model, albeit with somewhat warped proportions in his beast mode, and supplementary kibble in robot mode. His color scheme has been simplified to be represented with a yellowish-cream color and brown as the more dominant colored plastics, with some opaque blue plastic and translucent blue plastic for the beast mode's head and back, and his robot mode legs/beast mode wings respectively.

==Notes==
*Story editor Bob Skir originally wanted the character of Nightscream to be a young female Transformer, patterned after the girl "Newt" from the movie ''[[wikipedia:Aliens (film)|Aliens]]''. When the Powers That Be nixed that, he instead patterned the character after the rebellious young [[wikipedia:John Connor|John Connor]] in ''[[wikipedia:Terminator 2: Judgment Day|Terminator 2: Judgment Day]]''. In hindsight, maybe that wasn't the best idea.

: ''Darth Vader is a [[human]] in [[Star Wars]].''

[[Image:VaderVsPrime.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Does Darth Vader have to choke a bitch?" is always a rhetorical question.]]
'''Darth Vader''' was once a man named '''Anakin Skywalker''' who converted to the dark side. He is possessed of great power, cunning, and speed. Once he called [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]] "master" although the exact nature of that relationship (could such a powerful being have once been a Jedi's slave?) and how it ended remain a mystery. He's been a member of the [[Jedi]] himself, and has been called "the most gifted pilot in the galaxy". He flies a variety of ships, at some point even an odd spherical "[[Death Star]]", all of which can transform into a humanoid robot designed in his own image. Despite all the imposing weapons at his disposal, he is a very powerful man, one of the most powerful masters of the [[Force]], in his own right, known to fight [[Transformer|Cybertronians]] ''on foot''.

He is presumably related to the similarly named [[Luke Skywalker]] in some way.

== Fiction ==
===''Star Wars Transformers''===

Shortly after being converted from his previous beliefs to the [[Sith]] faction, Darth Vader is given the task of crushing all resistance to the [[Emperor Palpatine|Emperor]] across the galaxy. Piloting his new, heavily modified Sith Starfighter and wielding dark power, he morphs his spacecraft into an imposing combat robot.<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Darth Vader Sith Starfighter package</ref>

Later, as a sinister Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader is on a mission to crush the Rebels and bring young [[Luke Skywalker]] before the Emperor. Vader combs the galaxy for Skywalker in his TIE Advanced Fighter, another spacecraft that can morph into a humanoid robot, destroying all Rebel ships, pirate fleets, and asteroids that get in his way.<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Darth Vader TIE Advanced Fighter package</ref>

Using his advanced TIE mecha once more, Vader participates in a shattering starship battle with his former master. Unable to best his opponent in giant robot combat Darth Vader is forced to fall back on his ship's vehicle mode's missile defenses. Giving us a true sense of their power, we learn that like [[Primus]] and [[Unicron]] before them, the conflict between these two powerful force users is enough to rock an entire galaxy.<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Darth Vader "Galactic Showdown" set</ref>

:The imposing, sole Supreme-class figure of the ''Star Wars Transformers'' toyline, this gigantic Darth Vader mech transforms into the planet-destroying [[Death Star]]. Featuring excellent [[Articulation]], it has ratchet joints at the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, with swivel joints taking up the remaining few. In both modes, it has a spring loaded missile launcher that fires a small, translucent green projectile. It also features lights and sounds, with several clips taken from the movie. In robot mode, it has a seriously gigantic light saber. Taped inside the package is a cloth cape which can be attached to the back of the figure in robot mode (be careful not to throw it away).

[[Image:SW DeathStar Vader details.jpg|left|100px|thumb|Darth Vader and his bitches—er, that is, Stormtroopers.]]
:Like all figures in the ''Star Wars Transformers'' line, it comes with a pilot figure of the character the toy depicts. Additionally, it comes with three more figures, all of which are generic [[Stormtrooper (Star Wars)|Stormtroopers]]. Three [[TIE Fighter|TIE Fighters]] are also included, which also have a Mech Mode. Oddly, the instructions and description on the box refer to them as [[Mini-Con|Mini-Cons]]. In both modes, panels on the back open to reveal storage compartments for the pilots and TIE Fighters, while in Mech mode there are several smaller compartments on the legs and shoulders for the pilots.

:The instructions give no suggestion as to where to put the lightsaber in vehicle mode, though there is plenty of empty space inside. Additionally, the compartments on either side of the back seem at first barely large enough to accommodate more than one TIE at a time without disassembling the solar arrays, but it is actually possible to fit two of them as a whole in one case with some intelligent positioning.

: ''Darth Vader is a [[human]] in [[Star Wars]].''

[[Image:VaderVsPrime.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Does Darth Vader have to choke a bitch?" is always a rhetorical question.]]
'''Darth Vader''' was once a man named '''Anakin Skywalker''' who converted to the dark side. He is possessed of great power, cunning, and speed. Once he called [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]] "master" although the exact nature of that relationship (could such a powerful being have once been a Jedi's slave?) and how it ended remain a mystery. He's been a member of the [[Jedi]] himself, and has been called "the most gifted pilot in the galaxy". He flies a variety of ships, at some point even an odd spherical "[[Death Star]]", all of which can transform into a humanoid robot designed in his own image. Despite all the imposing weapons at his disposal, he is a very powerful man, one of the most powerful masters of the [[Force]], in his own right, known to fight [[Transformer|Cybertronians]] ''on foot''.

He is presumably related to the similarly named [[Luke Skywalker]] in some way.

== Fiction ==
===''Star Wars Transformers''===

Shortly after being converted from his previous beliefs to the [[Sith]] faction, Darth Vader is given the task of crushing all resistance to the [[Emperor Palpatine|Emperor]] across the galaxy. Piloting his new, heavily modified Sith Starfighter and wielding dark power, he morphs his spacecraft into an imposing combat robot.<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Darth Vader Sith Starfighter package</ref>

Later, as a sinister Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader is on a mission to crush the Rebels and bring young [[Luke Skywalker]] before the Emperor. Vader combs the galaxy for Skywalker in his TIE Advanced Fighter, another spacecraft that can morph into a humanoid robot, destroying all Rebel ships, pirate fleets, and asteroids that get in his way.<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Darth Vader TIE Advanced Fighter package</ref>

Using his advanced TIE mecha once more, Vader participates in a shattering starship battle with his former master. Unable to best his opponent in giant robot combat Darth Vader is forced to fall back on his ship's vehicle mode's missile defenses. Giving us a true sense of their power, we learn that like [[Primus]] and [[Unicron]] before them, the conflict between these two powerful force users is enough to rock an entire galaxy.<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Darth Vader "Galactic Showdown" set</ref>

:Darth Vader also has four other ''[[Attacktix]]'' figures not sold in ''Transformers'' packaging, designated "Starter Set", "Series 1", "Series 2", and "Series 3". The Starter Set figure reveals him to be the same person as Anakin Skywalker!

:Darth Vader's first mecha transforms into a [[wikia:starwars:TIE_Advanced_x1|TIE Advanced Starfighter]], featuring twin spring-loaded missile launchers. These missiles become "[[lightsaber]]" melee weapons for the robot mode. One of the vehicle mode's solar panel arrays forms a "cape" for the robot mode, the other a large deflector shield. Like all ''Star Wars Transformers'' toys, it comes with a tiny mini-figure of its pilot that fits into the ship's cockpit.

*'''Darth Vader/Death Star''' (2007)
**''Accessories:'' Gun, missile, lightsaber, cape, 3 TIE Fighters, 3 Stormtrooper figures, Darth Vader figure
:The imposing, sole Supreme-class figure of the ''Star Wars Transformers'' toyline, this gigantic Darth Vader mech transforms into the planet-destroying [[Death Star]]. Featuring excellent [[Articulation]], it has ratchet joints at the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, with swivel joints taking up the remaining few. In both modes, it has a spring loaded missile launcher that fires a small, translucent green projectile. It also features lights and sounds, with several clips taken from the movie. In robot mode, it has a seriously gigantic light saber. Taped inside the package is a cloth cape which can be attached to the back of the figure in robot mode (be careful not to throw it away).

[[Image:SW DeathStar Vader details.jpg|left|100px|thumb|Darth Vader and his bitches—er, that is, Stormtroopers.]]
:Like all figures in the ''Star Wars Transformers'' line, it comes with a pilot figure of the character the toy depicts. Additionally, it comes with three more figures, all of which are generic [[Stormtrooper (Star Wars)|Stormtroopers]]. Three [[TIE Fighter|TIE Fighters]] are also included, which also have a Mech Mode. Oddly, the instructions and description on the box refer to them as [[Mini-Con|Mini-Cons]]. In both modes, panels on the back open to reveal storage compartments for the pilots and TIE Fighters, while in Mech mode there are several smaller compartments on the legs and shoulders for the pilots.

:The instructions give no suggestion as to where to put the lightsaber in vehicle mode, though there is plenty of empty space inside. Additionally, the compartments on either side of the back seem at first barely large enough to accommodate more than one TIE at a time without disassembling the solar arrays, but it is actually possible to fit two of them as a whole in one case with some intelligent positioning.

:A [[retool]] of the [[Saesee Tiin]] [[wikia:starwars:Delta-7_Aethersprite-class_light_interceptor|Delta-7 interceptor]] mold into a [[wikia:starwars:Delta-7B_Aethersprite-class_light_interceptor|Delta-7B]] (the difference being that the [[R2-D2|astromech droid]] is in the center of the craft instead of on the left wing) and featuring a new head. Anakin once again comes with two lightsabers/missiles, this time fired from the thrusters on the starfighter's hyperdrive ring. Unlike the toys released under the ''Star Wars Transformers'' banner, this toy does not come with a tiny pilot figure.

:This version of the mold was retooled with new heads to make [[Ahsoka Tano]] and [[Kit Fisto]]'s Jedi Starfighters, while the original Saesee Tiin version was also used to make [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]] and [[Plo Koon]].

:This Anakin toy transforms from a robot with asymmetrical arms to the equally asymmetrical starship known as the ''[[Twilight (Star Wars)|Twilight]]''. He comes with [[R2-D2]], whose purpose is unclear.

This Figure, along wih the Y-Wing molds lack any sort of spot for a pilot figure, and even lack an opening canopy.

*'''Anakin Skywalker to Y-wing''' (2010)
**''Accessories'': Vehicle nose/gun, missile

:Anakin is a [[retool]] of the [[Y-wing|Y-wing Pilot]] toy with a new head and "collar", transforming into a white and yellow Y-wing bomber. The nose of the craft can fire a two-pronged missile, and detaches to become a handheld gun in robot mode. This is the first Anakin/Vader toy to not include any lightsabers.

Clone pilot

71.235.48.71: /* Crossovers */

{{factions|galacticrepublic|empire}}
:''Clone Pilots are mass-produced [[Galactic Republic|Republic]] and [[Empire|Imperial]] soldiers in [[Star Wars]].''

The '''Clone Pilots''' are (part of) the Republic's most elite military force, accompanied by their grounded cousins, the [[Clone Trooper]]s. They are key combatants in a large-scale military conflict known as the [[Clone Wars]]. War being a great motivation for technological innovation by [[Human|humans]], "morphing" is developed during the Clone Wars. <ref>Star Wars Transformers Clone Pilot ARC-170 Starfighter package</ref> This is the local term for the heretofore-unknown technology of [[transformation]], which at this time is known to be used by the Army of the Republic for four types of machines: their ARC-170 starfighters, airborne Gunships, V-19 Torrent Starfighters and [[Y-wing]]s.

They also pilot non-transforming vehicles. It is unknown if these are exclusively older weapons systems or if single-mode vehicles continue to have an irreplaceable role in combat.

Who are they cloned from? For some reason, we're not being told.

==Fiction==
===''Star Wars Transformers''===
Their Republic Gunships are in use sweeping across [[Geonosis]], blasting the Separatist forces with their armament of missiles. A Clone Pilot can land in the middle of a fierce battle between droids and clone troopers and convert the gunship into a heavily armed combat mecha that goes straight for [[Battle Droid|enemy droids]]. <ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Republic Gunship package</ref>

At some point, the Clone Pilots joined the [[Empire]], and started hunting down [[Jedi]] loyalists.<ref>''Crossovers'' Clone Pilot to V-wing Starfighter package</ref>

The fighter has two missile launchers hanging off its wings that become handheld weapons in robot mode. The toy comes with a tiny pilot mini-figure that can be seated inside the craft in both modes.

Its arms have an awkward amount of joints which make its posing difficult in some instances. The ship features two missile launchers with two-pronged missiles, which become the robot's lower arms. Its hands are just molded onto the launchers and can't hold anything.

:While the front of the packaging only says "Y-wing Pilot", the bio on the back explains that this toy indeed represents a Clone Pilot.

This Mold, along with ''Twilight'' Anakin Skywalker lack not only a pilot figure or spot for a pilot, but they lack opening canopy's entirley.

:This mold was also used to make [[Anakin Skywalker]].

{{-}}

==Notes==
* Within the ''Star Wars'' universe, the blue and white "space whale" deco was originally only seen on Republic Gunships. The ''Star Wars Transformers'' line marked the first time it was applied to ARC-170 fighters and Clone Trooper armor. It was, of course, only a matter of time before versions of each came out for the normal [[Hasbro]] ''Star Wars'' toy line. ''Transformers'' has added to the main ''Star Wars'' [[canon]]. Awesome.
* Yes. This [[Army-building|army builder]] has the most toys.

:''Thunderblast is a [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[Continuity family]].''
{{mainpic|10:36, 24 April 2009 (EDT)}}
After centuries of combat, '''Thunderblast''' has formed something of an odd relationship with his long-running rival [[Sky Lynx (Cybertron)|Sky Lynx]]. As part of the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Cybertron)|Air Defense Mini-Con Team]], Thunderblast specializes in long-range ground-based defense against aerial attacks, and Sky Lynx specializes in long-range aerial attacks. The two have clashed so many times —at long range, naturally— that they've come to respect each other's skills and welcome the challenges the other provides.

Thunderblast often finds himself thinking that under different circumstances, he and Sky Lynx would be fast friends. But he ''is'' still the enemy, so Thunderblast will never let down his vigil in the defense of [[Earth]]. After all, he would honestly hate to disappoint Sky Lynx by providing any less a challenge.
