:''Brawl is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|live-action movie]] [[continuity family]]. He is sometimes referred to as '''Devastator'''.''

[[Image:BrawlMovie-Render.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Maybe he was ''talking'' to Devastator earlier and got confused.]]

To say '''Brawl''' is a warrior is like calling [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] a hunk of metal. Brawl does not just enjoy fighting, he is consumed by it. Tearing Autobots apart is embedded into his very core, and every fiber-optic cable of his being is obsessed with wild, unyielding combat. The only thing he enjoys, or even cares about, is the fury of battle. And he ''loves'' a good explosion. Particularly if it's one he created, and if it was an [[Autobot]] that is exploding.

:''Alternate name:'' '''Devastator'''

== Fiction ==
===''Ghosts of Yesterday'' novel===

Brawl was oddly absent from events surrounding the ''[[Ghost 1]]'' discovery. Whether he was aboard the ''[[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]'' and otherwise indisposed or joined up with [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] at a later date is unknown.

====Autobot campaign====

Brawl arrived in [[Mission City]] shortly after [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] took down [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and a pair of [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwings]] single-handedly. The Autobot's victory was short-lived... and so was the Autobot, as Brawl punctured Jazz's chest with his claw, extinguishing his [[spark]]. [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] arrived just in time to witness the killing, and fought through a horde of Decepticon units to destroy Brawl.

====Decepticon campaign====
Brawl, [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] and Starscream were hiding out in a human military installation in the desert when they received word that [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] had discovered the location of the [[AllSpark]]. When the three Decepticons mobilized, the two ground-based machines were assaulted by tanks designed to fire holding beams of electrical energy, forcing Starscream to back-and-forth babysit the two Decepticons as they tried to escape.

Brawl later stood by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron's ]] side in Washington D.C. after they had retrieved the AllSpark from the destroyed Autobots and had decimated pretty much everything in their path.

:''('''Note''': Brawl was not a playable character in the console versions of the game.)''

===''Transformers'' (2007) film===

{{spoiler}}

Brawl (here called "Devastator") was lying in wait at a military depot when Starscream contacted the Decepticon infiltration team, informing them that the All Spark had been found and they were to move out. Devastator acknowledged that he was in transit and rolled out of the depot. He met up with [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] and hit the highway, though Devastator separated from the group before Barricade and Bonecrusher got on the freeway and met up with Autobot/human convoy.

Arriving at [[Mission City]] in the aftermath of Starscream's opening attack on the Autobots and their [[William Lennox|human]] [[Robert Epps|allies]], Devastator fired shells from his main gun, narrowly missing several targets before running over vehicles abandoned by human bystanders. As the American soldiers fanned out in search of cover, Devastator transformed into robot mode to get up close and personal. With the soldiers firing sabot-rounds from their grenade launchers, the Autobot Jazz jumped on top of Devastator where the Decepticon couldn't reach and destroyed his left side rocket launcher pod.

Damaged, but not down, Devastator continued to shrug off the sabot rounds from the humans as he fired wildly at all opposition. As Ironhide sped towards him in vehicle mode, Devastator fired two rockets from his remaining launcher, missing the heavily armed Autobot as he somersaulted over the missiles. [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] followed up by using his buzzsaw to slice off Devastator's left arm. The humans then fired a volley of sabot rounds, which stunned Devastator. The only thing that saved him was the human's retreat at the arrival of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. Eventually, Ironhide and Ratchet disengaged from the battle as they left to protect [[Sam Witwicky|Sam]], who was escaping with the All Spark, while Jazz took on Megatron. Now with fewer targets to deal with, Devastator sprayed heavily machine gun fire at the remaining humans, whose leader remarked that the battle was not going well.

Devastator continued to pin down the soldiers until the damaged Autobot [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] suddenly attacked while on the back of of a tow truck driven by Sam's [[Mikaela Banes|female companion]]. With Bumblebee's plasma cannon being the deciding factor, the human soldiers rallied and fired more sabots, piercing Devastator's armor until a final shot from Bumblebee struck Devastator's spark and killed him.

Devastator's body was dumped into the deepest part of the ocean along with his fellow Decepticons, in the hopes the intense pressure and cold will destroy whatever remained. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

*'''Decepticon Brawl''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-03'''

[[Image:Movie_Deluxe_Brawl_toy.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Don't let them know about my arm problem or they won't buy me]]

: Deluxe-class Brawl transforms into a heavily modified fictional tank based upon an [[wikipedia:M1_Abrams|M1A1 Abrams]], fitted with angular reflective armor, a mine plow and external spare fuel canisters. Mounted upon the turret is a smaller sub-turret housing two anti-aircraft cannons and rocket launchers. The spring-loaded main cannon fires a translucent red projectile.

: In robot mode, Brawl faithfully replicates his movie design, with the only major divergence being that his main gun does not split into smaller guns. He is reasonably articulated, with ball and swivel joints in his arms and legs. Thanks to [[Automorph]]ing, pushing down on the front of his tank during transformation raises the front of the treads and his head up into position for his robot mode, and vice versa for the tank mode. He is armed with his spring-loaded main gun on his right arm and a flip-out blade on his left.

: There is a design flaw in the way Brawl's arms attach to his torso - the rhombic peg and socket system used does not provide a tight enough fit, and thus the arms have a tendency to detach at the shoulder when moved. There have also been some reports of the gears for the treads crack easily and no longer function properly.

*'''Brawl''' (2007)
:''Card number'': '''17'''

: Brawl is a 41-point "Rare" piece in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]. Constructed of punch-out pieces from plastic cards, he can be assembled into his tank mode, or a sort of representation of his robot mode. Oddly enough, he does not actually have his movie-model head; rather, he uses a recolored version of [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]'s noggin slapped on the Brawl body.

: He uses the same construction as the [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] card.

==Trivia==
* During the movie, Brawl is identified in subtitles as 'Devastator', an early working name for the character. When queried, director [[Michael Bay]] said he had always preferred Devastator and that it is not a mistake. Writer [[Roberto Orci]] felt that it was a mistake that would hopefully be fixed before the full official release of the film, this did not happen. At [[Botcon]] 2007 Hasbro representatives said they consider "Devastator" a "continuity glitch" and as far as they are concerned the character's name is Brawl. Despite rumors to the contrary, he is ''not credited'' in the film under either name.

* According to Picture Vehicle Coordinator [[Steve Mann]], the filming prop of Brawl was a redress of a tank prop made for another movie [http://enewsi.com/news.php?catid=190&itemid=11213]. Specifically, it was the 'stealth tank' seen in the film ''XXX: State of the Union''.

*The name 'Brawl' was previously a working name for the character now called [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade.]]

* A wallpaper on Hasbro's Transformers web site labels Brawl as "Demolisher". Whether this was a possible working name or just an error remains unknown.

Barricade (Movie)

2007-08-18T19:19:06Z

71.36.69.244: /* Transformers (2007) */

{{disambig3|Barricade}}

:''Barricade is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MovieBarricade_render1.jpg|right|thumb|350px|"I'm ''always'' Bad Cop. And don't bother asking for the good cop. I killed him."]]

'''Barricade''' is apparently a complicated robot. He's considered "fractious" even by Decepticon standards, yet is willing to give [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] the benefit of the doubt and follow where he leads, at least for the time being. Though not totally dedicated to the service of the Decepticon's current leader, he is much more cautious and reserved about expressing mutinous dissent than say [[Blackout (Movie)|''most'']]. In many ways this makes him Starscream's closest ally in the naturally combative Decepticon ranks. Then again, it's been said that he likes to trick people into trusting him, just so he can see their reactions when they find out just how much of a bad idea it was.

:''Working name'': '''Brawl'''

==Fiction==
===''Ghosts of Yesterday'' prequel novel===
Barricade acts as pilot and chief science officer for the [[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]. Through this he apparently possesses an impressive "mastery of physics", being very intelligent. He spent most of his time rubbing everyone the wrong way and loving every minute of it.

===''Prime Directives'' prequel comic===

[[Image:Movie_Barricade_IDWprequel_nowitnesses.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Christine... is that you?]]

The Decepticon infiltration unit under the command of Starscream arrived on [[Earth]] in the year 2003. Barricade scanned a Saleen S281 police car, then destroyed the original human vehicle to cover his tracks, as did his fellow Decepticons when choosing their new forms. It is uncertain how he managed to scan what appears to be a 2006 model in 2003.

Later, Barricade pursues [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] outside of Denver, Colorado as the Autobot is working on a new lead on the [[Witwicky]]s.

{{-}}

===Transformers The Game (console)===
:''Voice actor'': [[Keith David]]

====Autobot campaign====
Barricade was sent to Tranquility to hunt down Sam Witwicky and the glasses that held the location of the AllSpark. He attempted to capture Sam and Mikaela outside their high school, but Bumblebee stepped in. The humans fled for the nearby baseball field with Barricade in pursuit, but Bumblebee beat him to them, protecting them while they ran away again. He followed them to the power plant, but was once again foiled by Bumblebee and sent packing.

Later, in [[Mission City]], Barricade made one last grab for the AllSpark after [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] had each fallen to the Autobots. However, he was once again intercepted by Bumblebee, and finally defeated for good.

====Decepticon campaign====
Upon reaching Tranquility and choosing his alternate mode, Barricade attempted some recon, but encountered a squad of Autobot drones, a battle which spilled out to the local baseball field. Shortly afterwards, he was informed by Starscream that Frenzy had information they needed, but the diminutive Decepticon had been captured by [[Sector Seven]] agents. Barricade tracked them to the power plant, then hounded the agents across town, wrecking every building in his path until Frenzy was recovered.

Finally on the trail of Sam, he was stopped cold by Sam's protector Bumblebee. Barricade got the upper hand, but the Autobot led him on a chase that ended in [[Bay's Demolition]] lot, and an ambush courtesy of a lot of Autobot drones. Barricade overcame the odds, and hunted down Bumblebee once more, finally besting the Autobot and taking the glasses from Sam.

When the Decepticons converged on Mission City, Barricade was tasked in taking out the Autobot [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]]. He later stood in Megatron's presence after the AllSpark had been recovered and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] ordered the Earth to be destroyed before they left it on their way to conquering all of known space.

===''Transformers The Game'' (Nintendo DS)===

:''Voice actor:'' [[Keith David]]

====''Autobots''====

====''Decepticons''====

When the [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|Decepticon Create-A-Bot]] arrived on Earth, his mentor, Starscream, directed him to rendezvous with Barricade, already active on the planet. Barricade was not enamoured with the idea of a partner, feeling that the Create-A-Bot would only slow him down, but after putting the rookie through his paces, he permitted him to join him on his mission in the town of [[Tranquility]]. Barricade revealed to the Create-A-Bot what Starscream had not - that the signal which had brought the Decepticons to Earth had come from Megatron himself. The rookie dismissed Megatron as a relic, and was struck by Barricade for the insult. With some help from the rookie, Barricade discovered that the Autobot Bumblebee was already on Megatron's trail; Barricade pursued Bumblebee, defeated him in battle on the outskirts of Tranquility, and acquired the data he had gathered.

Now aware that the human military organization [[Sector 7]] was holding Megatron, Barricade arranged for [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] to the Create-A-Bot to a [[Qatar]] military base, where they and [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] hacked Sector 7's databanks. The file they obtained was brought back to Barricade in Tranquility for deciphering, and revealed that Megatron was being held by Sector 7 in the [[Hoover Dam]]. The Create-A-Bot suggesting relaying this to Starscream, but Barricade loudly refuted the idea, happy that the impending resurrection of Megatron would mean that he would no longer have to serve under a cowardly, back-stabbing bureaucrat like Starscream. Swayed by Barricade's words, the rookie revealed a fact that Starscream had told only him - that the All Spark was also present on Earth. Shocked by the revelation, Barricade realized that Starscream had been scheming to acquire the All Spark for himself, to ensure that not even Megatron could remove him from power. With the rookie now turned from Starscream and on his side, Barricade was able to liberate Megatron from Sector 7, and the Decepticons pursued the Autobots, now in possession of the All Spark, back to Tranquility. During the battle, Starscream finally claimed the All Spark from Bumblebee, and Barricade stood against him, intent on bringing him in for treason. Alas, the All Spark-powered Starscream destroyed Barricade, but with in death, Barricade proved to the Create-A-Bot what it truly meant to be a Decepticon.

===''Transformers'' (2007 film)===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Jess Harnell]] (English)

{{spoiler}}

After being active on [[Earth]] for some time, Barricade arrived to pick up [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] after the smaller Decepticon's attempt to hack into and sabotage the United States military network on [[Air Force One]]. Using data Frenzy had acquired, the two learned of [[Sector Seven]], "Project Iceman", and the discoverer of the entombed [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Archibald Witwicky]], the duo were able to use the internet to learn of both Archibald's descendants, [[Sam Witwicky|Sam]], and a pair of glasses that had been marked with the location of the long-lost [[All Spark]].

[[Image:BarricadeVsSam.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Barricade negotiates an alternative to PayPal.]]

Later, Barricade confronted Sam regarding his recent eBay auctions while the human was fleeing Bumblebee, whom the human mistakenly believed was out to harm him. Sam fell for Barricade's ruse, and requested the "officer's" help, only for Barricade to turn on him and violently demand information on Sam's glasses. Sam and his friend [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]], who had been drawn into the encounter, managed to escape him when Bumblebee convinced Sam to trust him, and Barricade pursued both the Autobot and two humans to a junkyard. He engaged Bumblebee in battle, dispatching Frenzy to chase down the humans. However, his battle with Bumblebee ended with Barricade heavily damaged.

Evidently, though, he recovered, and was back to working order when Frenzy (who had survived and infiltrated Sector Seven) transmitted both Megatron and the Allspark's location to his fellow Decepticons. When the humans fled with the All Spark, Barricade joined in the pursuit along with [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]]. Sam recognized him, and warned that they were in danger.

Bonecrusher went on the offensive, and Barricade's final fate was left unclear. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

====Barricade's fate====
[[Image:Movie_Barricade_finalappearance.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Barricade pulls everyone over for ''driving on the wrong side of the road''.]]

Barricade's disappearance from the film is puzzling. It appears he was originally meant to be destroyed, as both the novel and comic adaptations of the movie depict his destruction by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], who had both destroyed Bonecrusher and was delayed in joining the humans and fellow Autobots. (Alternatively the children's chapter book adaption of the film [[The Transformers Quest for the Matrix]] describes Barricade as being destroyed by the US military.) Regardless in the movie proper Barricade simply does not appear again after Bonecrusher transforms. Since his remains are not seen among the Decepticon parts being buried at sea, it is possible he survived.

Writers [[Roberto Orci]] and [[Alex Kurtzman]] have stated in a recent interview that Barricade's disappearance from the remainder of the film is a "thread for Movie 2" [http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2007/07/kurtzman-and-orci-post-move-q.html]

* '''Barricade''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MD-02'''

[[Image:Movie_DeluxeBarricade_toy.jpg|right|thumb|250px|The secret love child of [[Blackjack]] and [[Stakeout]].]]

:Barricade transforms into an accurate [[wikipedia:Saleen|Saleen S281 Ford Mustang Custom Police Pursuit Cruiser]]. As with [[Bumblebee (Movie)|MOST]] deluxe-class cars in the ''Movie'' line, he features clear windows for his windshield and doors, but oddly his rear window is opaque black plastic. Stored inside the engine bay, behind the car's ram bar is a mini-figure [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] disguised as Barricade's grill.

: In robot mode, Barricade quite faithfully reproduces the CGI design, though his chest cannot deform to the same extent. He features a reasonable amount of articulation with ball joints for his shoulders and upper legs, ratcheting and swivels for his elbows and double-jointed knees (although the knees make it difficult to properly align the upper and lower portions of his legs). Barricade has no neck joint as the two car hood halves slot into place between the bottom of the head and the plate on which it sits. Additionally, his pelvis is extremely difficult (if not impossible) to clip into the underside of his torso. Barricade does not have any [[Automorph]]ing [[gimmick]] to speak of; in its place is a spring-loaded extending "punching" attack on his left arm.

: As with almost all Transformers toys issued over the last few years, a few of his transformation quirks are undocumented; in robot mode front wheel panels on his shoulders are ball-jointed, allowing one to position them in a manner similar to what is seen in the movie renders. Additionally, the sections that become his claws (apart from the thumb hinge) can swing up slightly to make themselves more pronounced, and spikes on the top of his feet can be swung up.

* '''Barricade''' (Legends of Cybertron, 2007)

: A much smaller version of the character, [[Legends of Cybertron]] Barricade features limited articulation and detail. In what could only be defined as an anomaly of physics, compared to the other Movie Legends, Barricade is quite close in appearance and transformation to the larger deluxe figure. Legends Barricade's instructions also overlook the fact that his grill can flip down to fill out his torso and raise his chest higher.

* '''Barricade''' (Cyber Slammer,2007)

[[Image:Barricade-CS.jpg|left|thumb|125px|Awwwwwww.]]

: This adorable, pudgy version of Barricade's car mode zips forward with a little motor. The robot mode Barricade pops up after a little while, rolling along. So cute!

{{-}}

*'''Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter''' (Deluxe Multi-pack, 2007)

[[Image:Bumblebee_Barricade_deluxeboxset.jpg|right|thumb|130px|Mullethead vs. Cop]]

: This battle pack contains the deluxe-class Barricade and the 1974 Camaro deluxe-class [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] figures, based upon their confrontation as seen in the movie. The box features a diorama-style background from a movie scene, but toys themselves are unchanged from their original carded releases. This set has shown a fair amount of [[shelfwarmer]] syndrome due to being priced nearly exactly to what it would cost to buy the figures separately.

* '''Barricade''' (Robot Replica, 2007)

: A non-transforming action figure, [[Robot Replicas]] Barricade hews much closer to the CGI model of the character. With joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] series, he is also more posable than his transforming counterpart, plus features replacement arms that feature his "blender-blade tires" alternate hands briefly seen in the movie.

*'''Recon Barricade''' (Deluxe, 2007)

: A [[redeco]] of the normal Deluxe Barricade toy, this time in a "local security" blue and gray pattern. All the the [[gimmick]]s remain the same, including his little pal [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]].

* '''Barricade''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)

*The IDW ''Prime Directives'' seems to contradict his alternate mode, since the Decepticons were depicted as having come to Earth in 2003, yet his alternate mode is a 2006 model car. But then, Bumblebee also scanned a Camaro that won't be released for another two years. It could be that this reality's car technology is a few years ahead of our own.

Ironhide (Movie)

71.36.69.244: /* Transformers (2007) */

{{disambig3|Ironhide}}

:''Ironhide is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]], also sometimes known as the "Tooth Fairy".''

[[Image:Movie_Ironhide_promorender2.jpg|right|thumb|350px|A different kind of tooth fairy. He knocks them out for the one in the frily dress to collect.]]

'''Ironhide''' is the Autobot's resident weapons specialist and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime's]] old friend. He is old because he is ''hard''. He's probably had enough replacement parts to build a small army, but Ironhide doggedly refuses to roll over and die for anyone. He'll fight to the bitter end and take down more than his fair share of [[Decepticon]]s in the process.

Ironhide doesn't always see optic to optic with Prime, despite their friendship. He's perhaps the more practical of the two, and more than a little trigger happy, so he can be more willing to push to Autobot code to the limit if he thinks it will get the job done faster.

He has more guns than [[Carbombya|a smaller third-world country]].

{{spoiler}}

[[Image:Movie_Ironhide_whyarewefighting.jpg|left|thumb|250px|For once, I need a reason to fight.]]

Responding to [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee's]] call for assistance, Ironhide and the other Autobots under Optimus Prime's direct command came to Earth, with the old soldier landing in a suburban pool. As he climbed out of the water, a little human girl asked him if he was the tooth fairy before he quickly hid behind some trees when the child's parents exited the house. He scanned their GMC Topkick truck and transformed, leaving the residence. He linked up with [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], and they proceeded to the rendezvous point, where they met up with Optimus and Bumblebee. After meeting [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Mikaela Banes]], Ironhide displayed an eagerness to show off his [[weapon|cannons]].

[[Image:Movie_Ironhide_shootground.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Ironhide is a real showoff.]]

Going to the Witwicky residence, Ironhide was urinated upon by [[Mojo|a rodent]]. This unpleasant situation was made worse by [[Sam Witwicky]]'s refusal to let him shoot it. He also suggested shooting [[Judy Witwicky|the parents]], as they were interfering with Sam's search for [[Captain Witwicky]]'s [[glasses]]. Optimus reminded him that they don't hurt humans and scolded his weapons expert, to which Ironhide responded that he merely thought it should remain an option.

After Sam, Mikaela and his parents were captured by [[Sector Seven]], Ironhide and the other Autobots totally outclassed the S7 agents by instantly disarming them of their weapons, then rescuing the boy and his girl. Unfortunately, their escape was to be short-lived, as [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] was captured by the mysterious agents after saving Sam and Mikaela's lives. The next morning, when Optimus Prime was pondering their next move, Ironhide asked why they had to save the humans, prompting Prime to go into one of his long speeches about freedom and sacrifice, concluding that the humans need not pay for the mistakes of Cybertron-kind, and if need be, he would destroy the All Spark by fusing it with his own spark. Inspired by his words, Ironhide debated no further, and the Autobots set out for the location of the All Spark, [[Hoover Dam]]. Halfway there, to their surprise, they saw Bumblebee leading a column of Sector Seven assault vehicles, so Ironhide and the rest of the Autobots joined the unit.

During the final battle at [[Mission City]], Ironhide realized that the F-22 Raptor that appeared to be providing [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox's]] troops with air cover was in fact [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. With Bumblebee's help, he lifted a discarded truck full of ''Furby'' toys to protect the humans against Starscream's missiles. Soon afterwards, [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] attacked, forcing Ironhide to do several somersaults to avoid the Decepticon's missiles, thus totally scaring the crap out of a lady sitting in the middle of the street.

Ironhide and Ratchet took it upon themselves to protect Sam as he made his way to a rooftop where he could pass the [[All Spark]] to a military helicopter. Unfortunately, Starscream blocked off Sam's path, prompting the Autobot guardians to engage the more powerful Decepticon immediately. After being knocked down, Ironhide implored Sam to keep running.

After the destruction of Megatron and the All Spark, Ironhide somberly cradled the body of the fallen [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] while Ratchet informed Optimus Prime that there was nothing they could do. Ironhide then gave Captain Lennox a ride home and spent the remainder of the day observing Sam and Mikaela making out on the hood of Bumblebee's vehicle mode.

Brief aside with Optimus Prime reveals Ironhide's actions may have resulted in the destruction of [[Cyber Five|a small planet]] at one point. Ironhide maintains that it was going to blow up anyway. Strangely, Ironhide uses only his right cannon. But when fighting Ironhide, he uses both. Ironhide is such a gun nut that he even uses it in his melee attacks.

:Ironhide transforms into a modified black 2006 [[wikipedia:GMC_Topkick|GMC Topkick 4500 four-wheel drive pickup truck]]. The two exhaust smokestacks behind the rear cabin have been shortened from the real scaled length and the prototype due to [[For safety reasons|safety]] and durability reasons, but otherwise the vehicle mode is very accurate to the real prop truck... well, aside from the fact that Ironhide's massive missile launchers are quite visible underneath the vehicle.

:Ironhide features an [[Automorph]] gimmick in his legs during transformation: As the user swings down his feet, all of the panels that make up his legs automatically shift and fold into place. This gimmick does not affect Ironhide's articulation. Confusingly, the instructions omit the exact positioning of the roof panels and rear window on his back.

:In robot mode, Ironhide is quite accurate to his CGI design, though obviously simplified for toy practicality. Contrary to appearances, he features full standard up-down and lateral shoulder articulation, as well as articulation in his elbows, hips and knees. His arm-mounted cannons are inactive while mounted on both arms. However, detaching the left arm cannon and combining it with the right arm creates a '''huge''' functional missile launcher that is almost as big as Ironhide himself. The missile-launching mechanism itself isn't the typical spring-loaded button design, instead relying on a pressure-launch system to fire the missiles from the four barrels.

Sadly, installing a grumpy trigger-happy alien robot and deadly high-tech weaponry into the works is not part of the included modifications.

Jazz (Movie)

2007-08-16T22:43:22Z

71.36.69.244: /* ''Transformers'' (2007) film */

{{disambig3|Jazz}}

:''Jazz is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MovieJazz_promorender.jpg|right|thumb|350px|"Slide with me. Just bounce with me. Now freeze!"]]

First Lieutenant '''Jazz''' is one happy-go-lucky Autobot. Good-natured and always able to take things in his stride, he provides a decent contrast to the more serious demeanor of [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] or [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Prime]] himself. He's also a talker, something Ironhide and Prime like to tease him about. He might be the smallest Autobot but he's by no means a coward. His only real complaint is that he gets stuck fighting the small ones.

==Fiction==

===Ghosts Of Yesterday===
Onboard the Ark, Jazz was the first to detect the ''[[Ghost 1]]'s'' presence, and was later badly damaged in a fight with the Decepticons. After being repaired, he and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] fought together against [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

===Transformers The Game (console)===
:''Voice actor'': [[Andrew Kishino]]

====Autobot campaign====
Jazz arrived on Earth as part of Optimus Prime's unit, summoned to Earth by Bumblebee. After taking the form on a Pontiac Solstice, he met up with the other Autobots. His first mission was to distract Sector Seven and law enforcement units, which he did, buying his fellow autobots time to escape.

He would then make his way to [[Mission City]], where he engaged [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and two [[Decepticon]] seeker drones. Jazz defeated all four of them, but as he celebrated his great victory, [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] appeared behind him and punctured Jazz's chest with his claw, extinguishing his [[spark]]. [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] arrived just in time to witness the killing, and fought through a horde of Decepticon units to destroy Brawl.

:''('''NOTE''': Press left, up, down(2), left, up, right, at the New game menu. The screen will flash to confirm the code was entered correctly. Go to the bonus features, then the Generation 1 option to use a G1-homage deco on Jazz. This does not change his appearance in the Decepticon campaign, however.)

====Decepticon campaign====
Jazz arrived in Mission City with Sam and Mikela (taking the role of the destroyed Bumblebee), where he was confronted by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. After a brief chase through the city, Jazz engaged Barricade in battle, where he was defeated with ease.

===''Transformers'' (2007) film===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Darius McCrary]] (English)

[[Image:Movie_Jazz_protoformcrash.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Looks like those homers Ruth hit finally came back from orbit. IT'S BACKA HERE!!!!!]]

Jazz was part of Optimus Prime's unit, summoned to Earth by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] after the latter Autobot came to be in the possession of [[Samuel James Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]]. After his [[protoform]] crashed through a baseball stadium, he investigated a nearby car dealership and chose a Pontiac Solstice hardtop as his vehicle mode. Linking up with his fellow Autobots in a deserted alley Jazz greeted Sam and [[Mikaela Banes]] as "little bitches," stating that Earth seems to be a cool place to hang out. He casually sat on the hood of another car while Optimus Prime explained to Sam their mission to find the [[All Spark]] and how his [[Archibald Amundsen Witwicky|grandfather's]] glasses were the key to its location.

Soon after, as Sam looked for his grandfather's glasses, the Autobots attempted to assist by clumsily destroying the yard where they went. When it came to hide from [[Ronald Witwicky|Sam's]] [[Judy Witwicky|parents]], Jazz had the easiest time blending into the shadows due to his small stature.

When Sam and Mikaela were captured by [[Sector Seven]], the Autobots mounted a rescue that saw Optimus Prime tearing the roof off [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons']] vehicle. When the agents attempted to resist, Jazz used a magnet to relieve the humans of their weapons. After Bumblebee was captured by Sector Seven during the retreat, Jazz expressed his desire to rescue him, but was overruled by Optimus Prime, who didn't believe it possible to accomplish this without harming the humans, and so they should let them go.

[[Image:Don't kick the baby.JPG|right|thumb|250px|"Don't kick the baby!"]]

The next day, after Optimus used his navigation scanner on Archibald Witwicky's glasses, Jazz again commented that they could not leave Bumblebee to die at the hands of Sector Seven, to become a human experiment. Optimus replied that Bumblebee would die in vain if they did not find the All Spark, and when Ironhide asked if the primitive and cruel humans deserved to be saved, Optimus countered by asking if Transformers were so different in the past. Going on to explain what he saw in the humans, Prime declared that if it came to it, he would sacrifice himself to destroy the All Spark - the humans should not pay for Cybertron's mistakes. Inspired by his words, Jazz and the other Autobots rolled out, filled with determination.

On the way to [[Hoover Dam]], the Autobots encountered Bumblebee leading a column of Sector Seven assault vehicles. Jazz and his fellow Autobots applied brakes and did a hard u-turn to join the formation.

Entering [[Mission City]], the [[William Lennox|human]] [[Robert Epps|soldiers]] tried to call for air support from their own forces, only to be attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] disguised as a human F-22 fighter. Jazz, oddly, sat in vehicle mode after the explosion which crippled Bumblebee, destroying his legs. When [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] began shelling the battle site, Jazz sped to the tank in vehicle mode, then transformed and hopped on top of the turret to distract the Decepticon from the humans. As Brawl also transformed, Jazz managed to wreck Brawl's left-side rocket launcher pod before being tossed off.

[[Image:Movie_Prime_Jazz_Ironhide_Ratchet_battleaftermath.jpg|thumb|left|300px|"We lost a great comrade today, we'll miss you, Blues." "His name was ''Jazz'', Prime." "Whatever."]]

Jazz then attacked [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] when he appeared on the scene, but all he got for his trouble was being blasted by the Decepticon's fusion cannon. As Ironhide and Ratchet escorted Sam and the All Spark to safety, Jazz attempted to buy them some time by taking on Megatron by himself but was completely overmatched. The Decepticon leader tossed him through the air, then landed upon him into the crushing grip of his talons. Valiantly, Jazz fought on to the bitter end as Megatron tore him in two.

In the aftermath of Megatron's defeat, Ironhide somberly handed Optimus Prime Jazz's remains as Ratchet reported that he could not save their comrade. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

===Techspecs===

Despite his quite unambiguous death in the film itself, the packaging for the upcoming Target-exclusive Jazz redeco (see below) claims he survived this encounter and was repaired by Ratchet, and that he chose his new colors as a way to relieve boredom during his long convalescence.

:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-04'''
[[Image:Jazzmovietoydeluxe.jpg|right|thumb|200px|"Just wait. They'll do me in G1 colors soon..."]]

:Jazz transforms into a silver [[wikipedia:Pontiac_Solstice|Pontiac Solstice]] Custom Hardtop. Included is a blaster weapon that elongates into a sniper rifle, which may also be clipped directly onto his rear spoiler when in vehicle mode. In robot mode, the section featuring this same rear spoiler may be kept folded onto his back or worn on either shoulder as a shield. An interesting undocumented feature is a hinge joint located on the bottom of the rifle can attach to the ''shield's'' hinge joint, creating three choice weapon configurations: ''(a)'' a mounted long range sniper rifle, ''(b)'' an ambidextrous shoulder-mounted canon, or ''(c)'' a short range blaster with built-in shield somewhat akin to what has been seen in Jazz's concept art and in the movie itself.

: As with most of the mainline toys, he features a [[Automorph]]ing gimmick that is activated by pushing the car roof down onto his back and locking it into place. This raises his head and slides his chest panels into proper position for the robot mode. This feature, like the weaponry mentioned above, is not documented at all, so one must be careful to not press the chest ''and'' the back at the same time.

{{-}}
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Legends, 2007)
[[Image:Movie_Legends_Jazz_toy.jpg|left|thumb|180px|WhY My buMPeRs hUrT?]]

: A much smaller version of the character, Legends Jazz features limited articulation and detail, along with a much simpler transformation. A rather glaring side-effect of this simplicity, in a desire to mimic the hood chest of the larger toy, is the addition of a second front bumper on the roof of his alt-mode. Whether this means Jazz also includes a second engine to go with this front bumper or an attempt at compensation for a case of [[Barricade (Movie)|police car envy]] is unknown. Ironically, the smallest version of Jazz is the biggest Legends toy in the movie line. Even bigger than Optimus. This may make up for the Arcee toy being taller than his Deluxe figure.

*'''Final Battle Jazz''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-14'''
[[Image:Movie_FinalBattleJazz_toy.jpg|thumb|left|251px|Ouchies.]]

: An extensive retool of Jazz, modifying his head and most of his legs to give them a broken, battle-scarred appearance. Amusingly, because Hasbro chose to keep his vehicle mode pristine, nearly the rest of his body is undamaged. The damaged parts and his head have a black and blue deco, representing exposed circuitry and glowing conduits.

: Jazz comes with a brand new spring-loaded Gatling cannon weapon (called a ''Quagma Cannon'' on the packaging), modeled after the actual weapon Jazz appears with in the film. It can fire a transparent blue projectile and, like his original featured weapon, can be mounted in several configurations: ''(a)'' Mounted on his right arm with the Gatling cannon/launcher facing forward as he appears in most promotional material, and ''(b)'' mounted on his left arm with the flip-out long rifle barrel pointed forwards.

: Unusual for a regular Deluxe figure, Jazz is packed on his card in robot mode, no doubt to highlight the changes to the figure that would not be visible in vehicle mode.

*'''Allspark Legends''' (Multi-pack, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_Allspark_Legends_pack.jpg|thumb|right|120px|"Why's the man always putting me down?"]]

: A Toys R Us exclusive, this six-pack of Legends class figures contains unmodified toys of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], Jazz, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Deluxe, 2007)

: An extensive [[redeco]] of Deluxe class Jazz, this Target-[[exclusive]] has a color and paint deco based heavily upon ''Generation 1'' [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz's]] Martini Racing scheme, though he is lacking in Martini sponsorship for obvious reasons, replacing them with his own name. Disco Jazz doesn't need to advertise really, but he does.

[[Image:Movie_Jazz_armswordconcept.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Cool melee weapon in the game, ''totally'' non-existent in the movie.]]

* The packaging text for the Deluxe Jazz figure refers to his weapon as a "telescoping sword". As ridiculous as this sounds considering this weapon ''looks'' like a firearm and can attach to his spoiler in vehicle mode as such, this very idea actually comes from concept drawings (see image on left) of a sword weapon featured on the same concept art that also had Jazz showcasing the short range blaster/shield thingy both featured in the film and included with his Final Battle retool. So, ''really''... not that ridiculous anymore.
