== My Edit to Kup ==

My joke was better than "I don't even like ice cream!" That doesn't even make any sense when has Kup EVER had any conversation about ice cream? Never from what I can recall.{{unsigned|AutobotKickshift|17:15, 3 October 2012}}
:The point is not whether your caption is "better," the point is that it's not your place to "improve" captions. Please stop edit-warring or I'll have to give you a time-out.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 17:45, 3 October 2012 (EDT)

So even as a member I'm not allowed to contribute to previously written articles? even if, not in this case, the information is lacking or new information has been released? how is that fair?{{unsigned|AutobotKickshift|19:53, 3 October 2012}}
:All you've done is edit war on an image caption. How is that contributing new information?--[[User:Carrion|Carrion]] 19:56, 3 October 2012 (EDT)

I thought maybe readers would enjoy a joke more if they could actually GET IT. where did the ice cream joke even come from?{{unsigned|AutobotKickshift|19:57, 3 October 2012}}
:The point is that all your contributions as a user here have been trying to change that caption, or arguing with other users about why you should be allowed to change that caption. We generally reserve the privilege of putting captions on things for people who have ''contributed''. You might want to have a look at [[Transformers Wiki:Caption|our policy page]] on that.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 20:19, 3 October 2012 (EDT)

Ok I can respect that but I'd still like to know where that joke came from.{{unsigned|AutobotKickshift|20:24, 3 October 2012 (EDT)}}
:[[User:SirSpoonwave|SirSpoonwave]] added it, so it's probably a Cow and Chicken reference. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 20:47, 3 October 2012 (EDT)

- Not every picture without a caption needs one. -- [[User:Spydersix|spyder]][[User Talk:Spydersix|Use this!]] 18:25, 4 October 2012 (EDT)

So I have no right to give it one? Why not? {{unsigned|AutobotKickshift}}
:Because you haven't contributed any actual content yet. -- [[User:Spydersix|spyder]][[User Talk:Spydersix|Use this!]] 18:28, 4 October 2012 (EDT)

So I HAVE to contribute to something I don't want to contribute to and I can't to something I DO want to? What sense does that make?{{unsigned|AutobotKickshift|18:29, 4 October 2012}}
:Seriously, it says it ''right there'' in the actual text of the warning box we keep putting on your page. It says it ''in excruciating detail'' in the policy page I told you to read. If you are only here to screw around with captions, then you're wasting your time and ours.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 18:32, 4 October 2012 (EDT)

My god are ALL wikis this ridiculously strict? where is the concept of "FUN" or "ENTERTAINMENT" in a wiki about the TRANSFORMERS? Wikis are supposed to be informative as well as a fun community. So far all I've met are strict people who think anything I do needs to be undone. Is the other Transformers Wiki this mean? You're all stuck up! {{unsigned|AutobotKickshift}}
:Well if you keep doing the same thing, of course you're going to keep being told not to do it. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 18:49, 4 October 2012 (EDT)

Jokes aren't content. They're the fun we get to have as a reward for actually contributing worthwhile effort. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 18:50, 4 October 2012 (EDT)

== Alternation suggestion ==

Should we get rid of "Alternation" 'cuz it's been there for two years. --[[User:Kaon Prisoner|Kaon Prisoner]] 19:36, 8 March 2011 (EST)
:Well, [[Alternation]] has only been there for two months, but I think once we get some translations for this ''United'' story that's coming out through eHobby, we could replace it with those. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 19:56, 8 March 2011 (EST)

So why haven't we done it yet? --[[User:Kaon Prisoner|Kaon Prisoner]] 16:34, 9 March 2011 (EST)...

== Logo Characters ==

I've been thinking that the characters who sit behind our logo on the main page are a little boring in my opinion. Now, I know this site is not aboutopinions, but why not put some dofferent characters up there? Secifically, high pofile figures such as G1 O.P. and megatron rather than The Fallen and the colorful guy from that BotCon. Maybe change ROTF Starscream into G1 Starscream but the former is pretty well known I guess. So what I'm trying to say is: why not replace some of the lesser known characters with better known ones? --[[User:Megatron Prime|Megatron Prime]] 18:07, 14 April 2011 (EDT)
: Thank you for your input. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 18:12, 14 April 2011 (EDT)
:Ask yourself, is it reasonable to turn the tfwiki into a G1 hagiography? If anything, the front page should convey tfwiki's mentality straight up, and that is that no shit is too minor and that ''Transformers'' is respected as a brand that knows how to adapt and keep going. [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 02:08, 15 April 2011 (EDT)
::Plus the logo already has an Optimus Prime, a Megatron, a Bumblebee, a Starscream, and a Soundwave in the rotation. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 02:21, 15 April 2011 (EDT)
:::My best understanding is characters who are presently relevant (ie upcoming or just-released fiction) are put in the rotation. Prime characters and BotCon 2011 characters, basically. (hey, on that topic, shouldn't Motormaster, Wildrider and Cheetor be added to the rotation?) --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 02:42, 15 April 2011 (EDT)
Thank you for putting it into perspective. It was not my intention to convey that we should turn tfwiki into a
G1 hagiography or whatever. So is that to say that the next inductee into the Hall of Fame will be on the rotation?
--[[Special:Contributions/67.142.174.22|67.142.174.22]] 09:19, 15 April 2011 (EDT)
: We generally don't add anyone into the logo unless we get new full-body promotional art of them. That's why everyone is recent. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 09:47, 15 April 2011 (EDT)
:: Case in point: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:TFWIKInet-SentinelPrimeDOTM.jpg --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 17:38, 15 April 2011 (EDT)

The rest of the Prime characters should go on IMHO.

== Hall of Fame ==

The Hall of Fame section directly under the logo seems to me a bit outdated. How about noting Waspinator's victory now? - [[User:Queso|¡Usa El Queso!]] 22:00, 17 June 2011 (EDT)
:It's kinda more for site-relevant news. Normally it woulda been swapped out for another Hasbro Q&A, but there hasn't been one for some time. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 22:29, 17 June 2011 (EDT)
::Ah. Understood. - [[User:Queso|¡Usa El Queso!]] 19:50, 18 June 2011 (EDT)

== Dark of the Moon App ==

== Social Networking icons ==

I added [[Ravage (SG)]] to the social networking icons. The HTML code to overlay the text int he dead space to the left of him uses absolute positioning (a tch hacky) but browsershots.org shows it works in every major browser (as well as dozens I've never heard of.) Sooo... I'm leaving it. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 18:33, 26 August 2011 (EDT)

== TLAP Day ==

I just wanted to note how awesome this wiki looked today. Hurrah! - [[User:Queso|¡Usa El Queso!]] [[User talk:Queso|Complain here]] 00:09, 20 September 2011 (EDT)

...Now it's stuck on TLAP Day... possibly forever... [[Special:Contributions/69.19.14.26|69.19.14.26]] 16:33, 21 September 2011 (EDT)

::I doubt it will lart forever, matey.--[[User:Primo|Primo]] 18:09, 21 September 2011 (EDT)

:It works fine for me. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 00:43, 6 October 2011 (EDT)

== Exiles ==
Shouldn't Exiles go on the "current releases" info-thing? [[User:BattleBlade|BattleBlade]] 20:09, 7 October 2011 (EDT)
:Yes, it should. I'm not sure where though. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 06:23, 8 October 2011 (EDT)
::Under United? That last area in that module ''was'' intended as sort of a miscellaneous catch-all for any new releases that don't fit the other categories. Alternatively, maybe under Prime? Isn't it in the same Aligned continuity? --[[Special:Contributions/67.252.49.31|67.252.49.31]] 10:20, 8 October 2011 (EDT)

== Tfwiki.info? ==

The link's pretty useless. Have you ever overlooked that problem? --[[Special:Contributions/66.82.162.19|66.82.162.19]] 15:56, 20 October 2011 (EDT)

::I concur with this. Is there another reason why that link is still up there? (Sorry if I'm overlooking something) --[[User:AutoUIMagnus299|AutoUIMagnus299]] 03:33, 20 November 2011 (EST)

== gathering ==

The page for Beast Wars The Gathering has been deleated. Why is that? ([[Special:Contributions/184.56.18.164|184.56.18.164]] 20:13, 4 November 2011 (EDT))
:It's still there at [[Transformers, Beast Wars: The Gathering]]. Derik just got the link wrong when he got his bot to change all the links after it moved. I already brought it up on his talk page. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 20:24, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

== Logo Change ==

I think it wouldn't hurt if you changed the wiki logo in the top left corner from its current ''Animated'' look into a more ''Prime''-esque logo. {{unsigned|68.147.45.66}}
: I agree! Given that Aligned/Prime is the main continuity it would be fitting. I'd happily knock something up, but graphics is not my forte. - [[User:Yuppie|Yuppie]] 19:12, 2 December 2011 (EST)
I rather like the white/blue/red look we have now. Why? Because you can tell from a glance that we sure ain't that damn terrible Wikia site. Redoing this site in a Prime theme would necessitate a lot of darks and blacks, and that would get rid of that distinction. We've branded. I'd like to hem close to the brand we've established. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 19:34, 2 December 2011 (EST)
:[[Image:User_Yuppie_Test_TFWiki_Prime_Logo.jpg|right]]I agree the overall theme is great and instantly you know where you are, I wouldn't want the whole page to be changed, I just thought that it would be nice if the main logo was updated, even if it was just the 'TransFormers Wiki' part, i.e. leave the Autobot symbol. The Prime word logo would fit, and like with the current Animated one change the 'Prime' wording to 'WIKI', I've had a go on Paintbrush, apologies for quality, {{unsigned|Yuppie}}
::Our current logo also has "TFWIKI.NET" on it, but I'm hard pressed to see how to fit that in the Prime logo without it looking bad. Also I feel compelled to mention that the logo's restricted in size due to placement, and shrinking that logo down to fit makes the word "WIKI" nearly unreadable anyway. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 17:11, 3 December 2011 (EST)
:::What if we replaced the Prime-logo "Transformers" with "TFWIKI" (single line) and the light-slash-through-it "Wiki" with ".Net"? Use the fonts to actually depict our name. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] 23:06, 3 December 2011 (EST)
::I didn't know this was a Transformers WtKt. --[[User:Andrusi|Andrusi]] 10:18, 8 December 2011 (EST)
Speaking of logo changing, i wanna know how u do that. Im having problems with my title in my own wiki & i need to know how to change it--[[User:Jazzerprime|Jazzerprime]] 2:45, December 19, 2011
:If it's on Wikia, they have a different way of doing it to how we do it here, so you'd be better off asking on their community central wiki. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 02:05, 19 December 2011 (EST)
::Thank u [[User:Jazzerprime|Jazzerprime]] 5:04, 19 December 2011

I'm not sure what it's called, but on the left hand side of the browser tab there is a little image of a G2 Autobot symbol. Before BotCon 2010 and its Generation 21: Redux that was a normal Autobot symbol. Is there any way to change it back to the original symbol? --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 16:11, 1 May 2012 (EDT)
:No, our "favicon" was always a G2 Autobot symbol, since the beginning of time. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 16:27, 1 May 2012 (EDT)
::Huh. That's weird. I distinctly remember it being the other one. Oh well. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 16:49, 1 May 2012 (EDT)
:::It was the original Autobot symbol on Wikia. When we moved to our own hosting, we changed it to the G2 one. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 17:11, 1 May 2012 (EDT)

== Fall of Cybertron in Nav Bar? ==

I'm thinking we should add Fall of Cybertron to the Nav Bar once all the pages relating to the games have been cleaned up from their current state (streamlined is the word, as there are too many useless pages to navigate relating to the FOC "franchise"). Also, maybe add some FOC characters to the cycling picture on the main page too. Dark of the Moon came out months ago, and sure the toyline is still going, but it's about to be replaced by the "Movie Trilogy" line. I say replace DOTM with FOC, or leave it and add FOC on a new slot. --[[User:Kaymac192|Kaymac192]] 22:47, 19 December 2011 (EST)
: We can add FOC dudes to the cycling logo image once we have clean versions of them. As of now, we don't, probably because it's not coming out for another year. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 22:53, 19 December 2011 (EST)
:: I understand, but what of the Nav Bar? How many slots are allowed, or is it unlimited? I started wondering since I noticed WFC's slot got changed to Rescue Bots. And while that's well and good, perhaps FOC can have a slot, as we are getting more and more information each day it seems. --[[User:Kaymac192|Kaymac192]] 22:57, 19 December 2011 (EST)
:::Potentially we can have as many as we like, with the caveat of course that stuff underneath gets moved down further. Would be cool maybe to change the skin to have collapsing sections like Wikipedia's Vector skin does. I'm all for adding a Fall of Cybertron link once the Fall of Cybertron pages are streamlined. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 21:36, 21 December 2011 (EST)

== italics vs. quotation marks ==

I know I'm probably being a pain in the butt, but why every title in the "current releases" navbar is in quotation marks - except "Dark of the Moon" and "Switching Gears"? I'd change it, but since it's the main page, I'd rather ask first. Also, Happy New Year, guys. - [[User:Silver|Silvery]] 11:30, 31 December 2011 (EST)
:Here is {{SITENAME SHORT}}'s [[Help:Style guide#Titles|style guide on the subject]]. It doesn't list novels like Switching Gears, but I think they should be italicized. - [[User:Starfield|Starﬁeld]] 12:40, 31 December 2011 (EST)
::Thanks. I could've thought of checking guides... Anyway, I think we could add the books/novels sub-clause to the guide. - [[User:Silver|Silvery]] 11:08, 1 January 2012 (EST)

== Transformers Day ==

Though it may not be worth mentioning, a lot of Transformers shows and movies aired to day. First, Rescue Bots on the Hub at 11:30 am est. Then Revenge of the Fallen at 6:00 pm est on FX. Then season 2 of Prime and The Transformers: The Movie on the Hub.

My point is that so much Transformers was on today, it should be called Transformers Day. Was there any other day like this ever before with Transformers media?[[Special:Contributions/71.162.103.239|71.162.103.239]] 23:20, 18 February 2012 (EST)
:The Hub called today "Transformers Mega Saturday", but I think the FX airing of ROTF was a happy coincidence. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] 23:30, 18 February 2012 (EST)
::There have been times when on FX, Revenge of the Fallen is on, and on TNT, the first movie is on, at the same time.[[Special:Contributions/71.162.103.239|71.162.103.239]] 23:47, 18 February 2012 (EST)
::: In fact, it's happen twice.[[Special:Contributions/71.162.103.239|71.162.103.239]] 23:49, 18 February 2012 (EST)
::::Different networks do different things. The live action movies are popular films to air on TV. Such coincidental happenings are not uncommon. FX just happened to air ROTF on this day. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] 00:08, 19 February 2012 (EST)

== Fall of Cybertron Release Date ==
I thought the official release date for Fall of Cybertron was August 28? So why does it say August 31 in the schedule? -- [[User:Spydersix|Spydersix]] 18:00, 7 April 2012 (EDT)
:Hey yeah, that thing he said. My preorder is set for the 28th. Also, WIKI, Y U NO have countdown timer to release date? We have with basically everything else major (each movie, the first game, I THINK the ''Prime'' premier). --[[User:King Starscream|King Starscream]] 13:31, 10 August 2012 (EDT)

== Google+ ==
Until [[User:Derik|Derik]] puts the G+ link in the picture, I'm going to put the link in the sentence above it. -- [[User:Spydersix|Spydersix]] 21:56, 30 April 2012 (EDT)
:People use Google+? --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 22:12, 30 April 2012 (EDT)
::Haha, very funny. -- [[User:Spydersix|Spydersix]] 22:37, 30 April 2012 (EDT)

== Main page disambiguation ==

There is a line at the top of the main page to disambiguate, but this wiki is not called Teltran any longer, so that line is no longer needed on this page. [[User:JohnnyMrNinja|JohnnyMrNinja]] 18:52, 19 May 2012 (EDT)

::''TFWiki.net: the Transformers Wiki is the unofficial Transformers knowledge database of 16,131 pages that anyone can edit or add to! For the semi-sentient computer that can't tell the difference between Autobots and Decepticons, see Teletraan I.''
::This line is now unneeded, because the name of the wiki is no longer Teletran. [[User:JohnnyMrNinja|JohnnyMrNinja]] 20:21, 19 May 2012 (EDT)
:::I think he thinks that we were refering to wikia days. Were talking about the computer from the cartoon. ([[Special:Contributions/184.56.31.108|184.56.31.108]] 20:39, 19 May 2012 (EDT))
:::This line is random from a bunch of disambiguations referring to knowledge things in Transformersdom, such as [[Rad White]],[[Teletraan II]] and the [[Underbase]]. It's a joke, because we're also a place of Transformers knowledge. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 21:07, 19 May 2012 (EDT)

== New Rotation Image ==

Umm, what is that new rotation image about? It's rather strange... [[Special:Contributions/68.147.45.66|68.147.45.66]] 22:57, 1 June 2012 (EDT)
:You mean [[Gari Robo-kun]]? --[[User:Abates|abates]] 23:01, 1 June 2012 (EDT)
::Well, couldn't you make it link to that page instead of ''Prime'' Optimus' page? How long are you going to use it, anyways?

How about putting some ''Fall of Cybertron'' characters in the mix? -- [[User:Spydersix|spyder]] 03:45, 18 June 2012 (EDT)
: For the thousandth time, I can add new characters when we get clear shots of them on blank, white backgrounds. FOC images so far have not been. I can't conjure usable images out of thin air. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 03:52, 18 June 2012 (EDT)
::Well, how about taking off those ''Animated'' Stunticons then? Seeing as another BotCon has come and gone, I don't see any reason for them to be on there. [[Special:Contributions/68.147.45.66|68.147.45.66]] 12:56, 8 July 2012 (EDT)
:::You might even want to replace them with images of SG vs. Classics characters (if you have the necessary images, anyway). [[Special:Contributions/68.147.45.66|68.147.45.66]] 13:05, 8 July 2012 (EDT)

::Plus the logo already has an Optimus Prime, a Megatron, a Bumblebee, a Starscream, and a Soundwave in the rotation. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 02:21, 15 April 2011 (EDT)
:::My best understanding is characters who are presently relevant (ie upcoming or just-released fiction) are put in the rotation. Prime characters and BotCon 2011 characters, basically. (hey, on that topic, shouldn't Motormaster, Wildrider and Cheetor be added to the rotation?) --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 02:42, 15 April 2011 (EDT)
Thank you for putting it into perspective. It was not my intention to convey that we should turn tfwiki into a
G1 hagiography or whatever. So is that to say that the next inductee into the Hall of Fame will be on the rotation?
--[[Special:Contributions/67.142.174.22|67.142.174.22]] 09:19, 15 April 2011 (EDT)
: We generally don't add anyone into the logo unless we get new full-body promotional art of them. That's why everyone is recent. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 09:47, 15 April 2011 (EDT)

The rest of the Prime characters should go on IMHO.

== Hall of Fame ==

== Logo Change ==

I think it wouldn't hurt if you changed the wiki logo in the top left corner from its current ''Animated'' look into a more ''Prime''-esque logo. {{unsigned|68.147.45.66}}
: I agree! Given that Aligned/Prime is the main continuity it would be fitting. I'd happily knock something up, but graphics is not my forte. - [[User:Yuppie|Yuppie]] 19:12, 2 December 2011 (EST)
I rather like the white/blue/red look we have now. Why? Because you can tell from a glance that we sure ain't that damn terrible Wikia site. Redoing this site in a Prime theme would necessitate a lot of darks and blacks, and that would get rid of that distinction. We've branded. I'd like to hem close to the brand we've established. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 19:34, 2 December 2011 (EST)
:[[Image:User_Yuppie_Test_TFWiki_Prime_Logo.jpg|right]]I agree the overall theme is great and instantly you know where you are, I wouldn't want the whole page to be changed, I just thought that it would be nice if the main logo was updated, even if it was just the 'TransFormers Wiki' part, i.e. leave the Autobot symbol. The Prime word logo would fit, and like with the current Animated one change the 'Prime' wording to 'WIKI', I've had a go on Paintbrush, apologies for quality, {{unsigned|Yuppie}}
::Our current logo also has "TFWIKI.NET" on it, but I'm hard pressed to see how to fit that in the Prime logo without it looking bad. Also I feel compelled to mention that the logo's restricted in size due to placement, and shrinking that logo down to fit makes the word "WIKI" nearly unreadable anyway. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 17:11, 3 December 2011 (EST)
:::What if we replaced the Prime-logo "Transformers" with "TFWIKI" (single line) and the light-slash-through-it "Wiki" with ".Net"? Use the fonts to actually depict our name. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] 23:06, 3 December 2011 (EST)

::Thank u [[User:Jazzerprime|Jazzerprime]] 5:04, 19 December 2011

I'm not sure what it's called, but on the left hand side of the browser tab there is a little image of a G2 Autobot symbol. Before BotCon 2010 and its Generation 21: Redux that was a normal Autobot symbol. Is there any way to change it back to the original symbol? --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 16:11, 1 May 2012 (EDT)
:No, our "favicon" was always a G2 Autobot symbol, since the beginning of time. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 16:27, 1 May 2012 (EDT)
::Huh. That's weird. I distinctly remember it being the other one. Oh well. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 16:49, 1 May 2012 (EDT)

== Fall of Cybertron in Nav Bar? ==

I'm thinking we should add Fall of Cybertron to the Nav Bar once all the pages relating to the games have been cleaned up from their current state (streamlined is the word, as there are too many useless pages to navigate relating to the FOC "franchise"). Also, maybe add some FOC characters to the cycling picture on the main page too. Dark of the Moon came out months ago, and sure the toyline is still going, but it's about to be replaced by the "Movie Trilogy" line. I say replace DOTM with FOC, or leave it and add FOC on a new slot. --[[User:Kaymac192|Kaymac192]] 22:47, 19 December 2011 (EST)
: We can add FOC dudes to the cycling logo image once we have clean versions of them. As of now, we don't, probably because it's not coming out for another year. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 22:53, 19 December 2011 (EST)
:: I understand, but what of the Nav Bar? How many slots are allowed, or is it unlimited? I started wondering since I noticed WFC's slot got changed to Rescue Bots. And while that's well and good, perhaps FOC can have a slot, as we are getting more and more information each day it seems. --[[User:Kaymac192|Kaymac192]] 22:57, 19 December 2011 (EST)
:::Potentially we can have as many as we like, with the caveat of course that stuff underneath gets moved down further. Would be cool maybe to change the skin to have collapsing sections like Wikipedia's Vector skin does. I'm all for adding a Fall of Cybertron link once the Fall of Cybertron pages are streamlined. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 21:36, 21 December 2011 (EST)

== italics vs. quotation marks ==

I know I'm probably being a pain in the butt, but why every title in the "current releases" navbar is in quotation marks - except "Dark of the Moon" and "Switching Gears"? I'd change it, but since it's the main page, I'd rather ask first. Also, Happy New Year, guys. - [[User:Silver|Silvery]] 11:30, 31 December 2011 (EST)
:Here is {{SITENAME SHORT}}'s [[Help:Style guide#Titles|style guide on the subject]]. It doesn't list novels like Switching Gears, but I think they should be italicized. - [[User:Starfield|Starﬁeld]] 12:40, 31 December 2011 (EST)
::Thanks. I could've thought of checking guides... Anyway, I think we could add the books/novels sub-clause to the guide. - [[User:Silver|Silvery]] 11:08, 1 January 2012 (EST)

== Transformers Day ==

Though it may not be worth mentioning, a lot of Transformers shows and movies aired to day. First, Rescue Bots on the Hub at 11:30 am est. Then Revenge of the Fallen at 6:00 pm est on FX. Then season 2 of Prime and The Transformers: The Movie on the Hub.

My point is that so much Transformers was on today, it should be called Transformers Day. Was there any other day like this ever before with Transformers media?[[Special:Contributions/71.162.103.239|71.162.103.239]] 23:20, 18 February 2012 (EST)

He has twin cannons that peg into his forearms/doors, hands, and truck bed, and can also combine to form a longer weapon.

: He also has a "dramatic head reveal," wherein his head rises up from within his torso when his abdomen panel is [[Slide joint|slid]] up. He also features a [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake kibble]] windshield on his chest, with the real front windshield ending up on his back.

: His [[stock photography]] depicts his cannon barrels with metallic gold [[paint operation]]s that were omitted from the final product.

: He was later [[redeco]]ed into [[Ironhide (Prime)#Deluxe|Ironhide]], which is not surprising as Kup appears to be a recolored Prime version of movie Ironhide.

: In wave six of the ''Prime'' toyline, Kup was put into new packaging, which came with a DVD featuring the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)| Prime]]'' episode, "[[Loose Cannons]]".

==Notes==
* In the Nintendo DS version of ''War for Cybertron'', Kup's only appearance is in an easter egg within the game. In the tutorial level, after speaking with [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]] and [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]], walk over to the wall with three monitors on the right. Approach the middle monitor, and Kup appears for a chat.
* Whether the recruit survives to actually end up on Kup's squad depends on whether you're playing the Autobot or Decepticon variant of the game. The latter does not turn out well for him.

{{Picsneeded|toys that don't yet have images}}
'''[[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]]''' has appeared as many toys. All of them cool.

==Generation 1==
* '''Jazz''' (Autobot Car, 1984/1985)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''06'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Photon rifle]], missile launcher, 3 missiles
[[Image:G1 Jazz toy.jpg|right|400px|thumb|At least he doesn't like music as much as Blaster.]]
:Originally a pre-''Transformers'' ''Diaclone'' Porsche 935 Turbo, Jazz was part of the original assortment of Autobots released in 1984. He transforms into a Martini Racing Porsche 935 Turbo, though like other Autobots who sported similar "sponsor" decals, Jazz's stickers deliberately misspell his sponsor as "Martinii". In robot mode, he is armed with a silver [[photon rifle]] and a shoulder-mounted, spring-loaded rocket launcher that can fire three silver missiles.

:Like all his 1984 brethren, Jazz gained a heat-activated [[rubsign]] in 1985, added to the right-hand side of his hood. That same year, Jazz was also made available as a mail-away [[exclusive]] from Cookie Crisp cereal; this edition of the figure featured modified [[sticker]]s on its car doors that omitted the "Martinii" words, and entirely lacked the "Martinii Porsche" decals for the windshield and rear spoiler.

:Jazz was later reissued by [[Hasbro]] as part of the European and Australian ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' sub-line in 1990 and the ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series]]'' line in 2003, and by [[TakaraTomy|Takara/TakaraTomy]] as part of the ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' (2002) and ''[[Transformers Encore]]'' (2008) lines. See entries below for more details.

:This mold was also used to make (the originally Japanese-exclusive) [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Stepper]], later renamed Ricochet for Hasbro's reissue.

{{-}}{{anchor|Pretender}}
[[Image:Pretender Jazz toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|In a just world, Jazz's Pretender shell would look like Richard Roundtree.]]
* '''Jazz''' ([[Classic Pretender]], 1989)
**''Accessories:'' 2-piece [[Pretender]] shell, helmet, rifle, laser

: The first new toy since the original, Classic Pretender Jazz is a highly simplified version of his original toy, still transforming into a Porsche 935 Turbo. He is armed with a black gun (named only a "laser" in his instructions, but given the dramatic identifier of a "semi-automatic ion pulse gun" in his [[Tech Spec]]s), which can mount on his roof in vehicle mode.

:Jazz's two-piece Pretender shell resembles a human in a blue and white armored space suit with a removable helmet. The shell is armed with a large black rifle (a "photon rifle", to be precise, according to his Tech Specs), and when Jazz is stored inside, it can also hold the smaller robot's laser, thanks to the weapon's multi-width peg.
::*''[http://www.tfu.info/1989/Autobot/Jazz/jazz.htm More information on Classic Pretender Jazz at TFU.info]''

{{-}}{{anchor|G1Legend}}
* '''Jazz''' (Legend, 1989)
**''Accessories:'' Laser

:Available [[exclusive]]ly at American [[Kmart]] stores, the [[Legends (G1)|Legends]] version of Jazz is simply the inner robot of the Classic Pretender toy without the shell or its accessories, leaving him only a small handgun.... however, it happens to be ''[[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#G1Legend|Bumblebee's]]'' gun. (Legends Bumblebee has Pretender Jazz's gun.)

{{-}}{{anchor|HeroSet}}
[[Image:G1toy japanese legends giftset.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
*'''Hero Set''' (Multi-pack, 1989)
**''Accessories:'' Laser

: In Japan, Legends Jazz was only available in a boxed "Hero Set" with the Legends versions of Bumblebee, [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#G1Legend|Grimlock]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#G1Legend|Starscream]]. Jazz was identical to the Hasbro release.

: In Italy, [[GiG]] released their own version of the Hero Set, named "Set Commandos", instead of the Classic Pretender versions of the toys. Here, Jazz was named "Folgore", originally the Italian name of [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]. The "Set Commandos" toys were identical to the Japanese "Hero Set" versions.

{{-}}{{anchor|ActionMaster}}
[[Image:Actionmaster Jazz.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Now he can shred the streets on his board.]]
* '''Jazz w/ Turbo Board''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Italian Name:'' '''Bionic'''
**''Accessories:'' "Electromagnetizer Gun", Turbo Board

: [[Action Master]] Jazz's sculpt was based upon his cartoon model, but with some of the toy details added in. As with most Action Master figures, he cannot transform, but his [[Turbo Board]] partner can transform from a skateboard into a large blaster weapon. Jazz was part of the first wave of individual Action Master figures.

: There are reportedly several minor variations of this figure, all regarding the color of his headlights. Some have them unpainted, while others are light blue or greenish-blue.

[[Image:G1toy classic heroes jazz.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
* '''Classic Jazz''' (1990)
**''Accessories:'' Photon rifle, missile launcher, 3 missiles
:Jazz was reissued in Europe and Australia in 1990 as part of the ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' line. This version was identical to the original toy, with the exception of the missing "Martinii" logos on the door decals, like on the Cookie Crisp version. Unlike the Cookie Crisp version, however, this version did include the "Martinii Porsche" decals for the windshield and the rear spoiler.
{{-}}

==Generation 2==
[[Image:G2 Jazz.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]
*'''Jazz''' (Autobot Car, 1993)
**''Accessories:'' "Photon Rifle", missile launcher, 2 missiles

:''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Jazz is a slight [[retool]] and (literal) [[repaint]] of the original toy. The chrome feet have been narrowed, omitting two tabs. His face (apparently degraded from [[mold]] usage) now has a strange unintentional smirk. His roof has been retooled with a small hole to accommodate his new bright green, spring-loaded missile launcher. All of his "Martinii" stickers have been replaced with various new stickers depicting his name and the number "1" laid over a rainbow-colored musical note.

:This mold became the basis for future reissues of Jazz, complete with his smirk.

: The missile launcher was not created for the ''Generation 2'' line, but came from the [http://www.yojoe.com/action/91/snowserpent2.shtml Snow Serpent] from the ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' toyline. The same launcher was used in the ''Generation 2'' re-releases of [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] and [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]].

They [[Rock Bot|didn't actually make those]].]]
*'''Jazz''' (Laser Cycle, 1995)

: A [[redeco]] of the [[Laser Cycle]] [[Road Rocket (G2)|Road Rocket]] was planned as Jazz, but like many other planned late-1995 ''Generation 2'' redecos, ultimately never saw release. Interestingly, many of these — including Jazz and fellow Laser Cycle redeco [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] — ''were'' solicited in various store catalogues, such as the Sears Wish Book. Some packaged samples of this toy do exist, but there are estimated to be less than a dozen in existence. Jazz would have transformed from a white, yellow and green Yamaha GTS1000 motorcycle, with an LED-lit arm-mounted buzzsaw that formed part of his rear wheel assembly in cycle mode.

: This mold was later [[Retool|retooled]] to make ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]] and ''[[Robot Masters (franchise)|Robot Masters]]'' Road Rocket.

==Transformers Collection==
[[Image:G1toy_tfc_jazz.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
* '''Meister''' (Transformers Collection, [[July 20]] 2002)
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
**''Accessories:'' "[[Photon rifle]]", missile launcher, 3 missiles

: Jazz was the first entry in Takara's ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' series of reissues, featuring collectable "book-box" packaging. The figure uses the retooled version of the Jazz mold used in ''Generation 2'', with narrower feet, though the peg-hole in his roof has been removed. Continued degradation of the mold in the intervening years lead to further problems with the toy: in addition to the overall looseness of its joints, the toy's face is further deteriorated from the ''Generation 2'' use of the mold, now displaying a gape-mouthed smirk (see inset in picture), and its roof and rear windows no longer align perfectly.

: In addition to these unfortunate, unintentional changes from the original, some intentional changes were made to the figure's stickers. The original toy's "Martinii" sponsor decals on his hood and door are modified to instead display his Japanese name, "Meister", while the "Martinii Porsche" decal across the top of his windshield now reads "Agent Meister".

: A second production run of this figure replaced the original toolings for the weapons with the modified versions that came with Hasbro's ''Commemorative Series'' reissue (see [[#Commemorative Series|below]]).

{{-}}{{anchor|Gold}}
[[Image:Ehobby Meister.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Bling bling~!!!]]
* '''Meister Gold Version''' (e-Hobby exclusive, 2002)
**''Accessories:'' "Photon Rifle", missile launcher, 3 missiles

: An [[e-HOBBY]] [[exclusive]], this version of Jazz is almost entirely constructed of vacuum-metalized gold plastic. Fingerprints and chipping, ahoy! It uses the degraded mold of the ''Transformers Collection'' figure, and was only available in a set with the "Anime Version" redeco of [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]]. Both figures came in the generic red Autobot packaging shared by nearly all eHobby figures.

: Though this redeco resembles Jazz's [[electrum]]-covered appearance in the episode "[[The Golden Lagoon]]", this appears to be an unintentional coincidence; it is actually a recreation of an old ''[[Diaclone]]'' campaign prize.

{{-}}

==Commemorative Series==
* '''Autobot Jazz''' (Commemorative Series III, 2003)
**''Accessories:'' "[[Photon rifle]]", missile launcher, 3 missiles

: Hasbro's own reissue of the 1984 Jazz as part of the ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series| Generation One Commemorative Series]]'', now named "Autobot Jazz" for [[trademark]] reasons, is based on Takara's ''Transformers Collection'' version, retaining the ugly smirk and the "Agent Meister" stickers. The alignment problem with the roof and the rear windows has been fixed.

: The weapons have been heavily [[retool|retooled]] [[for safety reasons]]: The chrome finish is missing, the missiles have been elongated and can only be inserted one way, the nub on the back of the launcher has also been elongated, the launcher barrel can come off the mount, and the trigger has been altered as well.

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2003/Autobot/AutobotJazz/jazz.htm More information on Commemorative Series Jazz at TFU.info]''

==Universe (2003)==
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Spy Changer, 2004-2005)
**''Accessories:'' Gun

:[[Spy Changer]] Jazz is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Side Burn (RID)#Spychanger|Spy Changer Side Burn]]. He transforms into a 1:64-scale [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Dodge Viper]] with Jazz's classic white Martini Racing colour scheme and livery. Like all [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]] molds, he features high-speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly. His small gun is stored between his legs, acting as a tailpipe in vehicle mode.

:This toy was originally exclusively available at [[KB Toys]] stores in 2004, in generic ''Transformers'' packaging with no additional sub-line header. The same toy was later re-released in ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' packaging in 2005, now available from discount chains such as Dollar General and Family Dollar.

==Smallest Transforming Transformers==
[[Image:WSTF Meister.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Tiny Jazz]]

* '''Meister''' (2004)

:''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' Jazz is a tiny replica of the original Jazz toy. His wheels do not roll, and he has a simplified transformation scheme with considerably more restricted articulation.

*'''Meister''' Mazda RX-8 (Alternator, 2004/2006)
**''Alternators ID number:'' '''7'''
**''Binaltech ID number:'' '''BT-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Muffler-blaster

:''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Meister transforms into a highly accurate 1:24 scale white [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Mazda RX-8]]. He features an opening hood with engine, opening "suicide" doors and trunk with a realistic interior. In robot mode, he is sculpted to resemble both the original G1 Jazz toy and the G1 cartoon model. He is armed with a rifle that transforms from his muffler.

: Other than being partially constructed of [[die-cast]] metal, the ''Binaltech'' version of this mold differs from the ''Alternators'' version by paint covering all the car body parts and having a magnet assembly for the shoulders joining the front wheel axle (instead of a plastic insertion point). Furthermore, the ''Binaltech'' version's steering wheel is placed on the right side of the dashboard, whereas it's located on the left side on the ''Alternators'' version.

: This toy was redecoed into the simultaneously available "Velocity Red Mica Edition" (see below), and later retooled into a Mazdaspeed RX-8 as [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockblast/Laserwave]], the [[Autorooper]] and later as Argent Meister.

**''ID number:'' '''BT-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Muffler-blaster

: Simultaneous with his standard release, ''Binaltech'' Meister was also available in a red variant in its own unique packaging. The two figures shipped in cases together in an equal ratio. All of the regular version's white parts, both plastic and metal, are replaced with red, while the panels on the upper hips that are painted teal on the "white" version are painted silver.

: Velocity Red Meister was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as the separate character [[Zoom-Zoom]] by the official ''Binaltech'' fiction.

*'''MEISTER feat. MAZDA RX-8 ~'''MAYUKO IWASA''' Edition~''' (Binaltech, 2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Muffler-blaster

:A one-of-a-kind pastel blue, pink, yellow and indigo redeco of the Binaltech Meister toy, ~MAYUKO IWASA Edition~ Meister was designed and autographed by Japanese "[[wikipedia:gravure idol|gravure idol]]" [[Mayuko Iwasa]]. Yahoo!Japan Auctions listed the figure at auction starting [[September 19]]th 2004, with the auction ending [[September 26]][http://web.archive.org/web/20040926033130/http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k7991073]. However, they relisted the figure on [[October 8]]th 2004 (seemingly due to an issue arising between the original buyer and the charity, going by its [http://rating5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/show/rating?userID=npo_actas_charity&u=npo_actas_charity&filter=&extra=&role=&apg=2 feedback rating]), and it finally finished at auction [[October 15]], 2004.[http://web.archive.org/web/20041012014838/http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k8718622] The winner of the auction also received a signed photograph of Iwasa.

[http://web.archive.org/web/20060626205644/www.binalternators.de/meister_english.html] In contrast to the placard in its public appearance at the "Binaltech BT-08 Meister / Mazda RX-8 Launch Event", the auction gave the designation of the toy as the "Original Coloring Transformer Binaltech BT-08 Meister feat.

*'''Argent Meister''' (Binaltech, 2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-20'''
**''Accessories:'' Muffler-blaster

: This version of Meister utilizes the "Mazdaspeed Version II" retooled RX-8 body introduced with [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockblast/Laserwave]], but using the original Meister head and a traditional left arm. It is touted as a "Movie Version", somewhat resembling the look of the [[Movie (franchise)|live-action movie]] [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], due to its silver paint job. The name is a pun on his Japanese function, "Agent Meister", and the Latin-derived word "argent" for "silver".

==Encore==
* '''Meister''' (Encore, Japan 2008)
**''ID number:'' '''08'''
**''Accessories:'' "[[Photon rifle]]", missile launcher, 3 missiles

: Another Takara reissue of the original 1984/1985 Jazz/Meister toy, following the success of the [[Transformers (film)|2007 Movie]].

: For the most part, the tooling is identical to the second production run of the 2002 ''Transformers Collection'' release, with the modified weapon from Hasbro's ''Commemorative Series'' release. The face uses the fixed mouth originally made for the ''Transformers Collection''/''Commemorative Series'' [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Stepper/Ricochet]] reissue from 2004. The feet are still the narrowed ''Generation 2'' version.

: Other changes unique to this version include the replacement of many stickers (such as the Autobot [[insignia]] on the hood/chest and the "Meister" decals on the doors) with tampographed versions, retooled shoulder mounted flame thrower aligned 90 degree from the axis but unlike the previous iterations, is quite difficult to maintain mounted, and a [[show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] painted blue visor.

{{anchor|uni2008}}[[Image:Universe2008 LegendsG1Jazz.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Slightly less tiny Jazz.]]
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Legends Class, 2008)

:Legends class ''Universe'' Jazz, like the Legends class ''Universe'' [[Hound (G1)|Hound]], emulates Jazz's original toy rather than a modern vehicle re-imagination. Due to the budgetry limitation of Legends class toys, he features an altered transformation sequence and a limited number of [[paint operation]]s, which leave several car windows unpainted.

*'''Special Ops Jazz''' (Deluxe, 2010/2011)
**''Accessories:'' "Blaster," two speakers

: Part of the fifth wave of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] Deluxe class toys, Special Ops Jazz transforms from robot into a "street rally" white sports car that looks like Jazz's original Porsche front-end wearing [[Jazz (Movie)|Pontiac Solstice]] headlights for a hat. Jazz has deployable speakers in both robot and vehicle mode, <ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/conventions-15/botcon-2010-hasbro-designers-panel-170066/</ref> and his rifle is an update of his [[Classic Pretender]] weapon. The speakers can also combine with his rifle via clips to form a super rifle, or they can be used on any other clip-compatible ''Transformers'' toy. A theme noticed in a few of the updated G1 Transformers is the backwards compatbility with original character's weapons. Jazz is able to wield his G1 toy's shoulder rocket launcher on his neck. As part of the first wave of the "[[Reveal the Shield]]" promotion, he sports a [[rubsign]].

: This mold was later redecoed into ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' [[Ricochet (Headmasters)#United 2|Stepper]] and ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Longarm (SG)|Longarm]], and the mold's alternate head was used to make [[Treadshot (SG)|Treadshot]].

:The Hasbro version of the SCF Meister figure in the ''[[Super Collection Figure|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' was cast in blue plastic which was then almost completely painted, leaving the eyes and the back of the head unpainted to take advantage of a [[light-piping]] gimmick. Jazz was released in Wave 4 of the line, and came with the left leg needed to build [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]].

*'''Meister''' (2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-3'''
**''Accessories:'' Display base

:At only one inch in height, this Jazz "bottlecap" figurine (so named because its display base is the size of a bottlecap) was one of fourteen blindpacked figures available in Kabaya's Transformers [[Generation 1 Figure-Collection]]. The figure was rendered in a "retro" black and white color scheme, and came with a leaflet, personalized with cartoon screen captures.

* '''Jazz''' (Diamond Select, 2008)

: Jazz was released by [[Diamond Select Toys]] in 2008 and exclusive to online retailer Big Bad Toy Store. He was sculpted by [[Mark Wong]] of [[Art Asylum]] and limited to 1000 pieces.

[[Image:MightyMuggs_Jazz.jpg|right|thumb|200px]]
*'''Jazz''' (2009)
**''Accessories:'' Photon rifle, doors

: Part of the third wave of [[Mighty Muggs]], Jazz is a [[super deformed]], non-transformable PVC figure with articulated arms and head. He is made largely using the standard Mighty Muggs body mold, with the exception of the head, which uses the same "horn" mold as [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]. Jazz comes with a super-deformed photon rifle and a pair of car doors that attach to his back.

: Jazz and his wavemate [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] were initially reported to be canceled, but were eventually released as exclusives at Diamond Distributors and [[Toys"R"Us]] stores.

{{-}}

==Notes==
[[Image:PorscheMiniSubaru.jpg|thumb|250px|]]
* The first toy planned for the [[Transformers: Alternators| Alternators]] line was Jazz as a Porsche 986. A prototype was made, but Porsche refused to grant Hasbro and Takara the license, stating that "Transformers are not worthy [of] carrying the Porsche trademark. They are war machines, and the toyline in no way represents the lifestyle and ideas which Porsche represents."<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/community/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24622 Former Porsche employee Addl recounting an informal inquiry with Porsche's licensing department at TF Archive]</ref> As a consequence, the toy ultimately never went into production. Photos of the prototype were depicted in the Japanese book ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'', and Hasbro later also displayed the prototype during the [[BotCon 2007]] Hasbro Tour.
* The [[Transformers: Alternators| Alternators]] Mazda RX-8 (which ultimately ended up as Meister) was originally intended to be named "[[Camshaft (G1)|Camshaft]]", according to various early store listings and a premature reply from Hasbro's customer service. This would also fit with the early idea of making the Alternators toys "direct updates" of their characters' G1 predecessors. A prototype was leaked to the public in early 2004 sporting the same basic colors as the later Alternators "Autobot Camshaft" toy (the Acura RSX), although it's uncertain whether the prototype colors for the RX-8 were supposed to be indicative of the proposed colors for Camshaft (since the Acura redeco was originally intended as a G1 Bluestreak [[homage]] before being renamed into "Autobot Camshaft"). The reason why the RX-8 Alternator was ultimately not named "Camshaft" was apparently because the real-life Mazda RX-8 car doesn't ''have'' a camshaft. The irony is staggering, as Camshaft's original toy was an RX-7, which ALSO lacks a camshaft.
* There have been at least two different reasons stated why the Hasbro toy was named "Meister" rather than "Autobot Jazz": For once, Hasbro was still hoping that Porsche would have a change of mind and grant them the license after all, as Chevrolet had done; also, Aaron Archer has been quoted stating that he thought a third toy named "Autobot someone" following "[[Hound (G1)|Autobot Hound]]" and "[[Tracks (G1)|Autobot Tracks]]" would have been somewhat "redundant".

'''[[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]''' has enough toys to afford several new cannons.

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Legends Ironhide DesertBlackout.jpg|right|300px|thumb|''Don't mess'', Blackout, or Ironhide will wave his fist angrily while you fly out of range!]]
*'''Ironhide Vs. Desert Blackout''' (Legends "Allspark Battles" two-pack, 2008)

: An all-new Ironhide tooling that packs considerable accuracy into his small, simple design. Unlike the Voyager class toy, Legends Ironhide stores his cannons in the truck's bed. He comes with a desert scheme redeco of Legends class [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]].

: Amusingly, this version of Ironhide is one of only two American toy releases that has full-length exhaust stacks. Also, there are many complaints about the fists sticking out of the back of the truck and the weird truck proportions.

{{-}}

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Voyager Ironhide toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|[[Guiltaur]] called, he wants his weapon back.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MA-09'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Ironhide transforms into a modified black 2006 [[wikipedia:GMC Topkick|GMC Topkick]] 4500 four-wheel drive pickup truck. Although Hasbro's official stock photos and early packaged [[Prototype|samples]] featured two real-life accurate full length exhaust smokestacks behind the rear cabin, they have been slightly shortened for [[For safety reasons|safety]] and durability reasons for the actual release of the toy. Otherwise, however, 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. Despite rumors to the contrary, TakaraTomy's Japanese release of the toy features the same shortened smokestacks as the Hasbro version.

:Ironhide features an [[Automorph Technology|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, though they can fold into a compact design for maximum articulation.

:In robot mode, 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.

:The soles of his feet/truck bed are completely smooth and featureless, hiding his feet in truck mode. Unfortunately, the smooth soles also mean that his feet have trouble gripping most surfaces. This, combined with his loose above-the-knee swivels, means that he has trouble standing up in all but the stiffest of poses. The peg that holds his windshield is also prone to cracking, which makes it become loose, and might even result in breakage.

*'''Offroad Ironhide''' (Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Released as part of the "Allspark Power" refresh of the Movie toyline, Offroad Ironhide is a fairly extensive redeco of Voyager class Ironhide in colors reminiscent of the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[Motormouth]]. As he's now made of several colors of plastic, he's no longer the most monochromatic toy in the 2007 ''Movie'' line.

*'''Ironhide''' ("Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Premium Ironhide is a redeco of the previous released Voyager class Ironhide, painted in a gloss black finish, silver trim on his smokestacks, Road Armor winch and side turn signal detailing, but with them are several inaccurate deco additions including silver detailing to the rims, frosted windows, silver paint on the roof ridges and a large Autobot sigil tampographed onto the hood.

:In robot mode Ironhide is considerably more accurate with gold and gunmetal detailing colors which were missing from the first Voyager release. His large cannons are now molded in mostly black plastic, then painted metallic teal with gold detailing.

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:Movie FAB Ironhide.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Pop goes the Autobot.]]
*'''Cannon Blast Ironhide''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 1 missile

:Part of the [[Fast Action Battlers]] line, "Cannon Blast" Ironhide is a simpler version of the larger toy, geared more towards the younger set who might find the big toy too complicated to transform. He still transforms into the customized GMC Topkick. He features a spring-loaded missile launcher in his left cannon. But, thanks to the simpler transformation, the hood and wheels trap his arms below the wheel. He can't punch or aim his cannon at all, and the elbows have no articulation but swiveling that knocks the arm off his body.

*'''Pulse Cannon Ironhide''' (Fast Action Battler, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 1 missiles

:A redeco of the Fast Action Battler Ironhide, this version sports a silver and blue color scheme that is both a reversal of the "Offroad" Ironhide Voyager figure... and seemingly an [[homage]] to the [[:Image:G2Gobot_Ironhide.jpg|''Generation 2'' Go-Bots version]] of his ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Ironhide (G1)|counterpart]], a redeco of Motormouth (see above). Funky!

====Cyber Slammers====
[[Image:Movie CyberSlammers Ironhide.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"Slam" This!]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Cyber Slammer, 2008)

:Cyber Slammers Ironhide is an amazingly cute GMC Topkick that transforms into an amazingly cute trigger happy weapons specialist. 'Slam' his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along, slowly transforming back up into robot mode. Like most Cyber Slammers, Ironhide manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode. Interestingly enough, this is the only pre-Revenge of the Fallen merchandise to feature Ironhide's scarred right eye.

*'''Ironhide''' (3-inch Robot Masters, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Movie Autobot sigil display stand

:''[[Titanium Series]]'' Ironhide is a small, 3-inch-tall [[die-cast]] metal mini-statue of Ironhide's robot mode. He has swivel points at the shoulders and head, and comes with a clear plastic movie-style Autobot sigil stand.

===Revenge of the Fallen===
====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF-toy IronhideEnforcer.jpg|thumb|300px|Right colors, wrong <s>bot</s> toy.]]
*'''Enforcer Ironhide''' (Legends, 2009)

:Enforcer Ironhide is a [[redeco]] of 2008's [[Legends Class|Legends class]] [[Ironhide (Movie)#Legends Class toys|Ironhide]] in a more [[Ironhide (G1)|Generation 1-looking red]] colour scheme. As with all wave three Legends figures, the photo on the back of the figure's packaging shows a mistransformed robot mode, where his chest is not aligned properly.

*'''Ironhide''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher cannon, energy cannon, projectile

: ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager class Ironhide is a retool and redeco of the toy from the 2007 ''Transformers'' movie line, featuring a new grey colour scheme with some red pin stripes and a [[NEST]] logo on each of his doors, as well as having a more accurate, asymmetrical head.

: The original arm cannons have also been replaced by new, more accurate (and less [[Gimmick|gimmicky]]) cannons that can be connected together and mounted on top of Ironhide's truck bed cover. The large cannon features screwdriving firing action in which the barrel section twists forward before firing the missile. The small cannon can also retract its barrel and has a 5mm hole on its underside that allows it to plug into the peg on the large cannon like a scope if so desired. The smaller cannon can be swung down flush with the barrel of the larger cannon as well, evoking the giant missile launcher combo from the previous mold. The truck bed cover and arm mountings for Ironhide's cannons are unchanged from the 2007 version, so any voyager Ironhide can carry and use both the original and new weapons. Since the weapons can connect to each other, the figure (and all other uses of this mold) can hold these and the combined 2007 cannons at once. All four cannons can fit on his truck mode as well, the old ones underneath and the new ones on top.

: According to the box pictures and instructions, the small cannon is misassembled. The gray sliding shaft is actually reversed from the direction it is supposed to be facing. This doesn't affect anything, but can be easily fixed by loosening the screws on the black outer section, sliding out the shaft, then turning it around and putting it back in.

: A packaging variant determines whether the missile is loaded or unloaded in the box.

{{-}}{{anchor|Recon}}
[[Image:ROTFtoy-JungleAttackIronhideVoyager.jpg|right|thumb|300px|John Rambot.]]
*'''Recon Ironhide''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-26'''
**''Accessories:'' Assault rifle, mini-gun, knife A, knife B, bullbar/crossbow, cannon, spring-loaded cannon/crossbow, projectile

:Recon Ironhide is an extensive retool, replacing his doors with military Humvee-style armoured door panels, adding a roof/truck bed-mounted lighting rig/weapons rack and replacing his Road Armor fender with a massive bullbar that can be removed and combined with his spring-loaded cannon to form a crossbow weapon. Ironhide's traditional arm-mounted weapons have been replaced with the aforementioned spring-loaded cannon, a smaller static version of his right-arm mounted cannon, an assault rifle, a mini-gun, and two combat knives, one being short and serrated, the other being long and straight-edged.

:In one of the first intentional uses of the [[C joint]] system (if not ''the'' first), either knife can be attached to the front of the rifle to act as a bayonet, and the rifles and knives can be attached to his various bars and rails. The rifle and mini-gun can be pegged to the sides of his arm mounted cannons, and they can also peg into the main barrel of his static arm cannon.

:Think he's armed enough yet? Additionally, this retool of Ironhide includes a new head-sculpt featuring his battle mask.

:In response to the [[For safety reasons|breakage issues]] concerning the windshield peg, all of Ironhide's (newly-tooled) windows are now cast in softer and more flexible opaque plastic, compared to the more rigid translucent plastic seen on previous versions of this toy.

*'''Cannon Force Ironhide''' (Fast Action Battler, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' 1 missile

:Cannon Force Ironhide is a redeco of 2007's Cannon Blast Ironhide figure. His colourscheme matches the mostly-red deco seen on the Legends class Enforcer Ironhide toy.

====Robot Replicas====
[[Image:ROTF RobotReplicas Ironhide.jpg|right|150px|thumb|]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Robot Replica, 2009)

Robot Replicas Ironhide is, like the others of the line, made of a rubbery PVC and features much more articulation than the average deluxe or voyager class toy. The figure features light blue paint on the cannons giving them a charged up appearance. The elbow joints are positioned in a way that prevents the arm from straightening but the figure is still quite pose-able, however, getting it to stand in most poses is a different story.

====Titanium Series====
*'''Offroad Ironhide vs. Deep Desert Brawl''' (3-inch Robot Masters multi-pack, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' Movie Autobot sigil display stand

:A redeco of 2008 Legends Ironhide featuring metallic sand deco. He was only available in the [[market six]]-[[exclusive]] "[[Desert Decimation]]" 4-pack together with [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], [[Brawl (Movie)|Decepticon Brawl]], and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]].

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:Transformers2010DeluxeIronhide.jpg|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Automated Rocket Turret

:A new-sculpt Deluxe-sized figure of Ironhide, with a surprisingly complex transformation and an almost ridiculously [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] (and surprisingly stable) robot mode. His smokestacks are of the long variety.

:The toy comes with a transforming weapon accessory, his missile turret from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video game]]. Sadly, this goes at the expense of a movie-accurate cannon for the left arm. The turret can stay attached to his arm when transforming back to his vehicle mode, thanks to a hard to notice joint on the other arm's cannon flipping open to allow more room, ensuring no chance of losing this accessory. In an undocumented feature, the turret can also attach to the back of Ironhide's vehicle mode by slotting two of its legs into two small holes on the truck bed, the third leg can them be positioned forward and slot into a groove on the back of the cab. This can be quite difficult, however, if (in another undocumented feature) you do not fully extend the turret's legs which are attached to a hinge which allows all 3 legs to fold down further than just pulling each one out individually; this allows for a greater range of movement and allows the turret to be aimed upwards. In one more undocumented feature, you can swivel his arm kibble around and use his smokestacks as guns. Interestingly, his hands can hold 5mm weapons, which means he can use Recon Ironhide's or MechTech weapons.

{{picsneeded|Japanese version}}
:The [[TakaraTomy]] ''Autobot Alliance'' release of this figure features a significant colouring change: Where Hasbro's release cast much of Ironhide's legs, feet, hands, shoulders and some joints in light blue, TakaraTomy's uses dark grey plastic.

He is packaged with a redeco of Deluxe-class [[Bonecrusher (Movie)#Deluxe Class toys 2|Bonecrusher]] from the first movie and, as part of the "[[Hunt for the Decepticons]]" promotion, a "Most Wanted" collector's card featuring the Decepticon.

*'''Ironhide''' (Cyberverse Commander, 2011)
**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''004'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV06'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 Cannons

: ''[[Cyberverse]]'' Commander Ironhide is a brand new mold, being much better in proportions and being more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] than his previous Legends-class figure. Unfortunately, the toy's attempt to accurately replicate Ironhide's angled hood-chest in robot mode has resulted in a ''very'' unsightly gap on the center of the hood in vehicle mode.

: His articulation has also improved significantly, as he's almost as articulated as his Deluxe-class figure. His arms don't swing out far enough in robot mode, although his upper arms can rotate and his elbows can bend in quite well to easily compensate for this.

: He comes with two cannons that can attach to the sides or top of his Topkick mode. One of his cannons has a [[C joint]], allowing it to attach to the bed cover, and both cannons can combine into a larger weapon. In robot mode, he can attach his guns on the sides of his arms, his back, or hold them in his hands. The multi-barreled cannon features a free spinning barrel.

*'''Leadfoot and Ironhide''' (Cyberverse 2-pack, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' 2 Cannons

: This [[Target]]-exclusive Ironhide is a redeco of the Cyberverse Commander figure. He is now dark blue, has [[cyberglyphics]] on the hood and doors of his vehicle mode, and the tips of his multi-barreled cannon are painted gold, creating an overall effect somewhat similar to the 2008 "Offroad Ironhide." He comes in a two-pack with a redecoed [[Leadfoot_(DOTM)|Leadfoot]].

[[Image:TRUCybertronianWarriors4Pack.jpg|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Cybertronian Warriors Pack''' (Cyberverse 4-pack, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' 2 Cannons

: Another redeco of Cyberverse Commander Ironhide, this time [[exclusive]] to [[Toys"R"Us]] in a 4 pack with redecoes of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#CybertronianWarriors|Bumblebee]] (with [[Mobile Battle Bunker#CybertronianWarriors|APC]]), [[Crankcase (DOTM)#CybertronianWarriors|Crankcase]], and [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#CybertronianWarriors|Barricade]]. Ironhide is given a "Premium"-esque deco of his standard colors, with a matte-black finish and gold highlights. He's also something of the odd bot out of the set, with Crankcase and Barricade colored like MD Metro police, and Bumblebee given a damage deco on his front (to represent the damage done to one of the stunt cars playing Bumblebee when it collided with an actual DC police vehicle).

: With matching paint jobs (the dark grayish black and bronze are near perfect matches), it appears as if the APC was intended to go with Ironhide more so than Bumblebee.

*'''Ironhide''' (Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' Automated Rocket Turret

:This redeco of Deluxe class Ironhide is [[exclusive]] to [[Toys"R"Us]]' Mission Earth: The Scan Series, to represent him [[Trans-scan|trans-scanning]] his vehicle mode. As such, nearly all of his vehicle mode parts (and thus, most of his robot mode) are cast in translucent clear plastic, with the rear of his vehicle mode being left unpainted, the middle having painted scan lines, and the front having a heavy amount of [[paint operation]]s in order to cover the clear plastic.

:His packaging [[stock photography]] shows his legs as being cast in translucent plastic, when the final product has these cast in opaque gray plastic, possibly [[for safety reasons|for durability reasons]]. Also, the white "scan" line on the vehicle sides in stock photos is directly vertical, whereas on the actual figure it is on an angle towards the front.

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:DOTM_Voyager_Ironhide_toy.JPG|thumb|300px|...so we can give you this ''bigger'' gun!]]
*'''Ironhide''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA04'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Booster/Particle Cannon

:''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Voyager class Ironhide is an all-new mold that is smaller, but more accurate, than previous Voyager class Ironhide toys.

:He comes with a large [[MechTech]] "Booster" that converts into a "Particle Cannon" by extending and spinning its barrels when the back is pressed. Twisting the knob at the back of the weapon when it is fully extended will lock it into place. The Booster/Particle Cannon (or any other MechTech weapon) can be attached to Ironhide via [[5mm post]] MechTech ports on either side and on top of Ironhide's vehicle mode, as well as being held in his fists or mounted under his forearms via MechTech ports in robot mode. Additionally, the Booster/Particle Cannon itself features a Mechtech port on top of its housing. The cannons and weapons included with the previous Voyager class Ironhide toys can also be used with this figure.

:He has an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmick on his vehicle front end/chest, wherein pushing it automatically deforms both halves of the front end into his chest, and pulling it reforms it back to the vehicle front end.

:This new mold also addresses the stability issues of previous Voyager Ironhides by giving his feet [[Ball joint|ball-joint]]ed ankles and having the soles of his feet be more textured and rough, allowing it to stand up better. Unfortunately, the latter change results in unsightly gaps on the truck bed in vehicle mode. Oh well.

:The [[stock photography|stock photo]] on the right has him mis-transformed. The vehicle mode panel kibble on his left leg has not been pegged in, his feet are backwards, and the tailgate pieces, normally folded into the soles of his feet, are left flipped out and sticking out from the back.

:The Japanese release comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

*'''Cannon Force Ironhide''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Booster/Particle Cannon
:Cannon Force Ironhide is a redeco of Dark of the Moon Voyager class Ironhide in a [[Ironhide (G1)|G1-inspired]] color scheme, with most of his black parts being cast in orange red. Specifically, the deco was based on [[Ken Christiansen]]'s [http://badflipblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/transformers-prime-ironhidetoy.html concept art] for ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'' [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]]. His deco consists of the upper half of his vehicle being red and his lower half being painted a matte black, with an orange stripe running in-between. His MechTech weapon has been redecoed as well, with a cooler shade of gray for the housing, and black for the main cannon body.

====Leader Class toys====
[[Image:DOTM-Leader-Class-Ironhide.jpg|thumb|400px|He prefers his [[Mojo|rodents]] ''very'' well done.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Mechtech Leader, 2011)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''DA16'''
**''Accessories:'' Knife, leg-mounted removable spring-loaded cannon, one projectile

:This version of Ironhide is his first [[Size class|Leader Class]] toy and features all sorts of weaponry and other [[gimmick]]s.

:His main gimmick is his chest-mounted Cybertronian Blitz Cannon, which is activated when either the license plate panel (used as a lever) on his abdomen is flipped and pushed down (similarly to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys 2|the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class Optimus Prime toy]]), or when a tall gray piece on the back-right of his head is pressed down. Two flaps on his abdomen open up, and a back-lit spinning cannon is deployed, lighting up his eyes as well as playing a rapid-fire shooting sound until the button is released, in which the cannon retracts back into his innards and a winding/powering-down sound is played.

:Ironhide's other lights and sounds gimmick is related to his head: when either the button on his chest or the lever on the back of his head are used, his [[mouthplate]] moves down, his eyes flash green and says the following the phrases, "Ironhide, here" and "Weapons ready". (He is not voiced by [[Jess Harnell]], but by [[Lenny Panzica]].) He also features cannons mounted on his arms/roof that pop out and deploy when each respective smokestack is pulled, and can be used in either vehicle or robot mode. There is also a small button behind the cabin that emits a (rather vague) sound of the vehicle driving and firing its cannons/ramming through obstacles when it is pressed. If the button is held down further, additional driving and engine revving sounds are emitted.

:Lastly, Ironhide has two weapons hidden in each of his legs. Opening the side of his left leg reveals and pops up a removable knife, whereas opening his right leg deploys a detachable spring-loaded cannon, either of which he can wield.

:Interestingly, he is more or less at [[scale]] with the various [[Human Alliance]] toys.

:Some units have the spring pushed and compressed too far back into the launcher, preventing the projectile from even shooting out. This ''can'' be fixed, but pulling and stretching the small spring further out while it is in the launcher may be rather difficult.

:The two of his hood halves also frequently detach from the ball joints they are mounted on during transformation, quite possibly [[for safety reasons]].

:Despite being advertised as a MechTech figure, Leader class Ironhide's gimmicks are almost entirely unrelated to the interchangeable, spring-loaded MechTech weapons seen on most of the other ''Dark of the Moon'' MechTech toys. Besides his fists, the only two 5mm post/MechTech ports on Ironhide are the ones on the hood halves above his shoulders, which can only be accessed in robot mode.

:His box mentions "Automatic conversion sounds", yet no such sound plays during transformation. Additionally, he is mis-transformed in his stock photography, as his vehicle front-end chest is not connected to his [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux-bumper]] grille, nor are the wheels angled into his chest.

:The Japanese release comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his arm cannons for the MechTech Wars online game, even though his arm cannons aren't actually MechTech weapons in the sense that they are removable weapons that can be given to other characters.

: A fold-out "pseudo-figure" of Ironhide "transforms" from a flat, blue platform decorated with the Autobot symbol and the word "Transformers" to a robot by folding out. Ironhide is represented by stickers decorated with artwork of the character on the top, bottom, and two fold out "arms". His name is also spelled out, across his feet in this mode.

: This mold was also used to create the lunchables figure for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. A similar mold was used to create the Lunchables figure for [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], though with the Decepticon symbol sculpted in instead of the Autobot one. Each iteration of this mold was made with a different color of plastic.

**''Series:'' '''Metal Heroes'''

: Speed Stars "Metal Heroes" Ironhide is a redeco of RPM's "Metal Heroes" Ironhide based on the red Ironhide redeco from RPM's Battle Series 2, though it features fewer paint details than the RPM version. It is made of [[die-cast]].

: During the period between 26 December 2010 and 31 January 2011, Hasbro ran their "Supercharge Your Holidays" promotion: for every $20 spent on Hasbro-branded product, customers could receive a free, random product from a list provided by Hasbro. Among the items on the list were "Transformers Combiners and Speed Star Mini-Vehicle" and "Transformers Activator and Speed Star Mini-Vehicle."

:Part of the 2010 [[McDonald's]] Revenge of the Fallen promotion, Ironhide does not transform, but features a "punching/firing" mechanism instead: a switch on his back rocks his arms forwards and backwards in an alternating motion. Ironhide features blue [[light-piping]], an unexpected feature for a fast food promotional toy, but does not feature any form of articulation. He was only available during week 5 of the promotion, and came with an instruction sheet that doubles as an ad for [[McWorld]], featuring an exclusive code for the website.

[[Image:Movie MonroeTopkickIronhideEdition.jpg|right|300px|thumb|What do you mean there are no cannons?]]
*'''GMC TopKick 4500 Ironhide Edition''' (2007)

:As reported at [http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=121589 Edmunds], [http://www.monroetruck.com/index.asp Monroe Truck Equipment], in association with Hasbro, released a GMC TopKick 4500 Ironhide special edition featuring most of the modifications made to the Ironhide vehicle props used in the movie, with the only difference being that the truck will retain its stock orange running lights (the movie used blue) and the large stock sideview mirrors.

:Sadly, installing a grumpy trigger-happy alien robot and deadly high-tech weaponry into the works is not part of the included modifications. Production on the GMC Topkick truck ceased when General Motors exited the medium-duty truck market in 2009. Ironhide's death in the third film is certainly not connected to this, not at all.
