There are [[Metallikato|Decepticon legends]] of an "Ultimate Warrior"
and tales of the "Soul of Cybertron". These are merely corrupted myths based on the truth—'''The Last Autobot'''!

The Last Autobot is a guardian that [[Primus]] prepared, against the day that he would no longer be able to guide his creations. A stoic being, the Last Autobot awaits his destiny.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
Billions of years ago, before going into his sleep, Primus prepared a Transformer called the Last Autobot. He gave the Last Autobot a measure of his power and set him to wait for the 'chosen one'.

After Primus' death, [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] appeared to be tearing itself apart and the Transformers abandoned their home world. The only remaining Transformer was [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], whose soul was in the body of [[Hi-Q]].

Prime traveled, along with the [[Neo-Knights]], into the depths of Cybertron where he discovered the Last Autobot. {{storylink|The Last Autobot?|The Last Autobot?}} When the Last Autobot awakened, he was surprised to find the form that the chosen one had taken—two souls in one body, [[Powermaster|a human body]]. (It's a long story.)

The Last Autobot merged the two souls into one new Optimus Prime body. He revealed that Cybertron wasn't tearing itself apart, but merely reformatting after the death of Primus. The Last Autobot stabilized the process, allowing Cybertron to reform without damaging itself.

After this, the Last Autobot traveled with Prime and the Neo Knights to the planet [[Klo]], where they attacked the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. The Autobots were being decimated by the Decepticons, and the Last Autobot assisted in the battle—not actively, but by resurrecting all the Autobots who had fallen.

Finally, the Autobots (and presumably the Last Autobot) returned to Cybertron, while the Decepticons exiled themselves to deep space. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}

The Last Autobot created [[Modus Prime]] and the [[Mini-Con|Mini-Cons]] to cleanse Cybertron of [[Demon]]s and [[Mutant (G1)|Mutants]] before the Autobots returned. {{storylink|The New World}}

==Trivia==
* You might find that the Last Autobot's face looks familiar. Can you guess why? That's right, he looks a lot like the Autobot symbol!
* Despite Primus being "neutral" in the war between the Autobots and Decepticons, the Last Autobot is pretty blatantly an Autobot—most likely because he was created eons before the Decepticon movement began and all of Cybertron's inhabitants were Autobots.
*Simon Furman meant to do more with the quest for the Last Autobot, but the cancellation put paid to that. He stated at OTFCC 2004 that he re-used some of his ideas in some of the [[War Within]] stories [http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~sstoneb/tf/tidbits/otfcc2004.txt]
* [[Vector Prime]]'s design mirrors the Last Autobot in some ways, including their similar [[Altmode|altmodes]] and their Autobot symbol-inspired faces. Both also directly serve Primus.

:''Dropshot is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Classics (2006)|Classics]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]] (by way of [[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]).''

[[Image:AHM11-specialgueststar.jpg|right|thumb|300px|So this is what ''genuine'' surprise is like!]]

In a race of fighting machines, '''Dropshot''' is a ''fighting machine.'' He's always the first to throw a punch or shoot a missile, and he doesn't care if he's the only one actually fighting. He believes that anyone who doesn't retaliate is a coward who deserves the beating he gladly dishes out. He never needs a reason to fight, nor does he care about the success or failure of his team. All that matters is having someone to hurt. For obvious reasons, the other [[Decepticon]]s avoid him unless they can channel his anger towards some [[Autobot]]s.<ref>[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/classics/dropshot/1572/1/10/ Dropshot's on-package bio]</ref>

==Fiction==
===IDW comics continuity===
Dropshot infiltrated the American military forces early on in the Decepticon offensive, posing as one of their artillery vehicles. His mission was to monitor the military and report back all he heard to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. Through him, Megatron learned of [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]]'s infiltration mission and the [[European Union]]'s nuclear strike. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 5|All Hail Megatron #5}} When the Autobots eventually returned to Earth, Dropshot was finally unleashed. He transformed and turned his firepower against his "hosts". {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 11}}

{{spoiler|All Hail Megatron issue 12|July 24, 2009}}
A bit wound-up after having to sit and spy on the humans for so long, Dropshot eagerly attacked them. Shrugging off the humans' attempts to fight back, Dropshot asked aloud who could possibly stop him at this point. As if on cue, [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] emerged from the water behind him, having been dropped into the river by [[Skywarp (G1)| Skywarp]] earlier.

The next time Dropshot was seen, Kup and [[Sparkplug Witwicky| Colonel Witwicky]] were sitting on his defeated remains, having a nice conversation. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 12}}

==Toys==
===Universe (2008)===
[[Image:Universe dropshot toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|I'm a conundrum wrapped in missile launchers.]]
*'''Decepticon Dropshot''' (Voyager, 2008)
**''Accessories'': 2 missiles, rifle, Earth-style Cyber Planet Key

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' Voyagers and the "Classic Series", "Decepticon Dropshot" is a [[redeco]] of [[Scattorshot (Cybertron)#CybDef|Cybertron Defense Scattorshot]], transforming into a [[wikipedia:TOS-1|TOS-1 Buratino]] multiple-launch rocket system. The halves of the (non-firing) launcher end up on his arms in robot mode. In either mode, inserting a [[Cyber Planet Key]] in each half reveals a new weapon: one side has a pull-out double spring-loaded missile launcher, while the other has a flip-out non-firing blaster barrel. He also comes with an extra long hand-held rifle that can be mounted in tank mode thanks to his [[Mini-Con]]-compatible [[Powerlinx]] plugs.

: His box photo shows an opaque-brown [[Earth]] Key with tan paint. The toy actually comes with an entirely unpainted transparent-brown Earth Key.

:This mold was also used to make ''Universe'' [[Overload (Armada)|Overload]] and ''[[Timelines (fiction)|Timelines]]'' [[Flak]].

==Notes==
* Dropshot's toy shares identical [[Tech Spec]] numbers with the [[Military Patrol]], which includes his [[Micromaster]] [[Dropshot (G1)|namesake]]. His bio portrayal as overly combative is quite similar to the Military Patrol's description, so [[Hasbro]] likely intended the two Dropshots to be one and the same. However, ''Universe'' Dropshot's only fiction appearance is in a continuity where the Micromaster Dropshot was seen first under [[Dead Universe|odd circumstances]] that probably preclude them from being one individual. This sort of situation has [[T-Wrecks|happened]] [[Mirage (BM)|before]].
