==Fiction==
===''Revenge of the Fallen'' (movie)===

During the climactic battle in [[Egypt]] between the Autobots, their human allies and [[The Fallen]]'s Decepticons, Scavenger appeared in a quarry with the other Constructicons before merging into Devastator to attack former [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Leo Spitz]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. As Devastator smashed away at the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] after shrugging off Skids and Mudflap, Simmons called upon the [[United States Navy]] to fire upon the giant Decepticon. The [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S. ''Kidd'']] fired her experimental [[Railgun|railgun]], smashing one of his arms to pieces and destroying Devastator. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

== Sideways in Revenge Of The Fallen The Game ==

Unlike in the movie(his life spent is less than 15 minutes), Sideways featured in the game is equivelant of Bumblebee. He is a powerful unit to take on even the larger transformers. Sideways is armed with a beam sniper rifles and a pair of rapid shot cannon(which it never got a chance to use it in the movie). His weapons are designed for ranged engagement(which fit his profiles) but can be use aggressively even in close combat. He also armed with a pair of wheels with circular shuriken saw blade. His special abilities is to deploy magnetic mines to slow down enemies.
He was featured in the first mission after the tutorial. His tasked was to eliminated the Autobots around the construction site & city in Shanghai. He can also be playable after acheieving certain task by other diceptacons. His can unlock the Shanghai zone's missions by acheiving 15 headshots. Sucessfully hit 5 enemies with the magnetic mines will give player the G1 coluor of Starscream in Singleplayer.
In multiplayer, he is best use against ranged target. But his attack speed & dance also enebles him to "stunned" his opponent that get to close to him, giving him precious time to flee from his opponent. Surprisingly, for his size, he was more durable than Starscream. Most likely because he is a smaller transformer and has a low profiles. His transformed into the Audi R8 make him an even harder target to hit. But his vehicle mode also makes him less likely to shoot anybody because of the game's heavy controls, high speed and unable to stop during vehicle mode. Thus more likely designed like in the movie, to flee from the relentless Autobots.
He is my 4th favorite transformers.([[User:Ultraquake|Ultraquake]] 04:52, 4 July 2009 (EDT))

We saw the part-drawn/photoshopped image of 'Stryker' (just the vehicle's name) on the Hasbro tour, and he eventually became the TF we now know as Wreckage. Is 'Stryker' considered the same character as Wreckage (as he is an earlier version), or just somebody else completely? --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 13:45, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
:I would say the nameless Stryker design is clearly an early Wreckage - also, that many many unnamed preproduction designs in TF exist and don't have their own pages.

[[Image:Movie_Wreckage_Stykerconcept1.jpg|thumb|right|250px| Tall, dark, and bloodthirsty.]]
Cold, distant, quiet. '''Wreckage''' is the counterpart to the hot-wired [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]. Deliberate and methodical in his attacks, he enjoys watching his foe squirm in agony as his twin swords cut deep below their armor. Circuits popping and vital processors sizzling to uselessness are the music he longs to make, and none of the Decepticons can argue with his taste for making Autobots suffer.

==Fiction==
===Transformers Movie Prequel (Target)===

[[Image:Movie_Wreckage_Traitor.jpg|thumb|left|125px|Stop eviscerating yourself, stop eviscerating yourself!]]

Wreckage was one of several Decepticons under the command of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] during the battle of [[Tyger Pax]]. He was finishing off an [[Autobot]] with his sword when [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] arrived with news that [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] knew where the [[All Spark]] was located. After witnessing the sucessful Autobot launch of the All Spark and Megatron's subsequent pursuit of it, Wreckage left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] with Starscream's group in search of their leader.

[[Image:Movie_Wreckage_EMPblast.jpg|thumb|right|Wreckage's name is unfortunately appropriate.]]

Arriving on [[Earth]] many years later in Afghanistan, Wreckage scanned and destroyed a human military carrier vehicle sent to investigate their planetfall. He was able to trace the location of the Bargam US airbase and jam their communications to prevent them from calling for help. Under Starscream's orders, Wreckage led the group to attack, initially confusing the soldiers with his vehicle mode. Whilst observing [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] slaughter human soldiers the latter had tricked, Wreckage was hit with a localized electromagnetic pulse and disabled. Barricade was ordered by Starscream to leave their comrade behind, because he would either recover eventually, or if not, then it didn't matter. {{Storylink|Transformers Movie Prequel (Target) Volume 2}}

Wreckage's fate remains unknown.

**''Japanese ID number'': '''MD-10'''
**''Accessories'': 2 spring-loaded blades

[[Image:Wreckage_movietoy.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Alas, poor Wreckage. They hardly drew ye.]]

: Wreckage transforms into an [[wikipedia:Stryker|M1126 Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicle]] in urban or arctic camo, armed with a M2 .50 cal machine gun and two other machine guns mounted extending out of the troop compartment. Unusually for a transformer with a military vehicle alternate mode, Wreckage does not feature ''significant'' embellishments to his design, even though he is not a licensed toy. However, his white plastic obscures much of his sculpted detailing.

:His [[Automorph]]ing feature is activated during transformation by swinging his machine gun down, pushing it against a translucent red panel, which simultaneously raises his shoulders, lowers his torso, raises his head and extends his stomach-mounted cannon all in one movement.

:Wreckage's robot mode is more traditionally Transformers-styled compared to most of the other Movie line toys. As with most mainline Movie toys, he features an excellent range of articulation. The smaller machine gun weapons feature flip-out energy blades that can be held in his hands, mounted under his forearms or on any of the wheels. They can also connect together to form an undocumented but certainly intended double-bladed weapon; mounting this on his forearm wheels gives him an awesome spinning blade weapon.

: There is a minor issue on Wreckage where moving his arms down or towards his back at the shoulder will activate his Automorphing feature and begin to fold the torso back into its vehicle mode position. The best way to avoid this is to hold the grey gun plugging into his back in position while moving his arms.

===Merchandise===
*'''Wreckage''' (3D Battle Card, 2007)

: A 35-point "Uncommon" card, Wreckage is assembled form punch-out parts of two cards, which can be fit together to make either a robot or a tank. Since he uses the same parts layout as [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]], his central cannon is considerably oversized when compared to his toy.

==Trivia==
{{bigthumb|Wreckage movie.jpg|150px|Wreckage appeared in several online games. Not the most impressive resume, but it's a living.}}

*As revealed at [[BotCon 2007]]'s [[Hasbro]] tour, Wreckage is the toy company's elaboration of a design for a Transformer abandoned early in the Movie's development. It had no name and was thus labeled 'Stryker', the name of its vehicle mode.

* This "Stryker" concept art was later used as a Decepticon piece in the ''[[Transformers Risk]]'' game.

:''Protoforms are part of a Transformer's [[life cycle]] in many Transformers continuities.''

[[Image:Protoforms2.jpg|right|300px|thumb|TeH Nekkid AiRrazzer!1!]]

'''Protoforms''' consist of an unspecified, free-flowing, metallic matter layered over basic robotic systems. In many continuities, a protoform is the first stage in a Transformer's [[Life cycle|life cycle]]. These protoforms only await a life-giving [[spark]] and the alt-form information necessary to transform them into fully functional, living Transformer beings. Often, protoform modes are used to transport Transformers on intergalactic journeys.

Protoforms are transported or stored in [[stasis lock]], in which state they look like smooth, robotic humanoids (right.) When not in stasis lock, protoforms are a roiling mass of liquid metal around their internal frame.<ref>Protoform states seen in "[[The Spark]]".</ref>

''Japanese name: '''Sentou-in'''(Meaning "soldier" or "warrior".) '' (Beast Wars II)

==Generation 1==

Protoforms are often contained within [[stasis pod]]s and dropped into unexplored worlds.

===Beast Wars II===

[[Image:Protoforms1.jpg|left|thumb|Pretty spry for globs of pudding]]

[[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] protoforms were shown moving about the Predacon warship using their own power, though they were not shown to speak or have any kind of personality. After the Predacons had gathered enough information about the machines of [[Gaea]]'s past, they then fed the information into the protoforms via energy waves. The protoforms were then altered into the [[Autoroller (BWII)|Autorollers]]. ''(Given that the Autorollers were apparently extant veterans, this would be a case similar to that of [[Airazor]], in which an already living Cybertronian had been downloaded into a new protoform body. )''

===Dreamwave comics continuity===

Dreamwave first applied the existence of protoforms backwards into the Generation 1 era and established them as the first step in most (if not all) Transformer life.

==Robots in Disguise==

==Unicron Trilogy==

===''Cybertron''===

Protoforms are established as the first stage of Transformer life, which is usually followed by [[Primary programming]].

==''Transformers'' (2007) movie==

Protoforms in this continuity are more than just the first stage of a Transformer's life, they are the "base" form that exists down inside each robot. Protoforms are made of an ultra-dense, liquid metal material and are extremely hard to damage.

In the rare case they are not actively practicing their natural proclivity for chameleon-like disguise (usually only when engaged in interstellar travel), Transformers shed their exo-structure and return to their protoform state. This protoform is capable of transforming into its [[Transition form|transition form]]: an armored, cometary shape capable of interstellar travel. Upon landing on a new world and transforming back into a protoform, the Transformer immediately begins [[Trans-scan|trans-scanning]] for new alternate forms to adopt. When one is chosen, the protoform draws on its own ultra-dense substance and any extraneous matter nearby to generate a new exostructure disguise.

*'''Protoform Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-05'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun with flame attachment

[[Image:Movie_ProtoformOptimusPrime_toy.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Until I find my feet, I have to use these giant robot hands.]]

:Based upon the 'Protoform' (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the Movie, Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his 'entry' mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the 'vehicle', creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. Oddly, it has NO [[automorph]] gimmick at all, a feature most main-line figures have.

:In robot mode he resembles previous Optimus characters - his angular chest windows are reminiscent of ''[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], while his near animalistic limbs and color scheme are evocative of ''[[Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal]]. He has excellent articulation due to his many ball joints, and is armed with a rifle. The flame attachment can fit onto the end of the (non-firing) gun barrel.

:Some packaging variants of this figure (perhaps a Wal-Mart exclusive) included a free movie poster depicting a Cybertronian eye overlooking Earth. While an added sticker to the outer plastic bubble says "Exclusive movie poster!", it is more of a preview of upcoming figures.

*'''Protoform Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-05'''

[[Image:MovieProtoform_Starscream_toy.jpg|left|thumb|250px|[[Gold Plastic Syndrome]] just waiting to happen]]
**''Accessories:'' Gun with missile and flame attachment

:Based upon the "Protoform" (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the movie, Protoform Starscream transforms into his "Entry" mode Cybertronic rocket thing. This mode somewhat resembles a Cybertronic spaceship, with a visible bridge between the two dorsal fins. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the 'vehicle' over the missile projectile, creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces.

:In robot mode, Starscream marginally resembles previous Starscreams, mostly G1 Starscream, with the large turbines on his chest, wings and vents on his legs. Due to his extensive use of ball joints, he has excellent articulation. Starscream is armed with a spring-loaded missile launcher that fires the previously mentioned projectile cast in the same bronze color as his body. Alternatively, the flame decoration can be fitted onto the end of the barrel.

:This toy also has an [[Automorph]]ing feature, as most of the figures in the main line do. Pushing his head back during transformation will move his shoulder pieces back into place, while moving the shoulders forward will make the head pop back up. While either the missile or the flame can be placed into the gun, the flame can be placed onto the missile, using both at once. However, in some cases, the flame does not have a snug fit on the missile and falls off easily. This makes firing the missile rather awkward and makes the gun look extremely goofy.

: It's also entirely possible that this figure will eventually suffer from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome|GPS]], as the bronze plastic it is cast in has the same characteristic swirling exhibited by older figures that rapidly deteriorated. However, newer materials and processes may prevent the toy from ever seeing a single crack form. It is highly suggested that this toy not be painted or altered in any way to maximize its lifespan.

*'''Protoform Starscream Fusion Cluster Edition''' (C3xHobby Convention exclusive Deluxe, Japan 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Gun with missile and flame attachment

:An extensive redeco of the Protoform Optimus Prime mold that was exclusively available at the Japanese C3xHobby Convention in August of 2007, and later offered by [[e-Hobby]] in limited quantities. Most of the body is made out of transparent turquoise plastic in order to mimic the frozen state on the coldness of space, while orange paint is used on the front end of the 'entry' mode, mimicking the heat effects of sudden atmospheric entry. The flame attachment is made out of clear ''blue'' plastic, with the tail end being covered in ''gold' paint.

[[Image:Jetfireut.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"I'm as dry as a dead Dingo's donger!"]]

'''Jetfire''' is probably the best second-in-command [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] could conceivably have. Jetfire is more than a yes-man; he's the crucial link between Prime's role-necessitated distance and his troops. Though professional and businesslike, Jetfire infuses his interactions with a down-to-earth friendliness. And where Optimus Prime is cautious, Jetfire is more prone to tempered bursts of gusto and bravado. While Optimus Prime is your leader who's your leader, Jetfire is your leader who's your friend. Because of this, Jetfire is very popular among the Autobots.

Most importantly, Jetfire is one of the only Autobots who will tell Optimus Prime to his face when he thinks he's wrong. It is this trait that makes Jetfire indispensable.

Jetfire has a long-lost brother [[Overcast (Energon)|Overcast]], and while the two are quite similar in many ways, Jetfire is ''far'' more willing and eager to jump into battle than Overcast.

He has a [[Decepticon]] alter-ego, '''Sky Shadow''', which he affects when doing undercover missions. He found the name in history archives which referred to a [[Sky Shadow (Cybertron)|Sky Shadow]] from the legendary [[Beast Wars]]. Nobody's really sure how that works. Maybe it's that bloody [[Unicron Singularity]]'s doing.

Jetfire was one of the reinforcements from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] that Optimus Prime requested. He was quickly installed as second in command, but as everybody who had never served with him discovered, he was very different than Optimus Prime. Where Optimus was cautious and analytical, Jetfire was brash and headstrong to the point of recklessness, jumping into the unknown without considering the consequences. As a result, in his first major battle with the Decepticons, Jetfire decided to take all of their air forces on by himself, getting him into serious trouble.

Fortunately, Optimus Prime had recovered enough from his injuries to launch a surprise attack on the Decepticons and unleash his secret weapon - the ability to Powerlink with Jetfire, resulting in the powerful Jet Optimus. {{Storylink|Tactician}} {{Storylink|Link Up}}

====''Energon''====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Scott McNeil]] (USA), [[Nobuyuki Hiyama]] (Japan)

During the ten years since the defeat of [[Unicron]], Jetfire was upgraded into a new body with the capability to [[Powerlinx|powerlink]] with other compatible robots. At first, Jetfire was not enthused at having the inexperienced and immature [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]] part of their unit, or being his powerlinking partner, but the wild sky commander gradually grew to accept the younger Autobot's place in Optimus's personal command.

Jetfire served as a loyal soldier throughout the series, including nearly dying and being upgraded by Primus to finish the battle with Unicron.

====''Cybertron''====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Brian Drummond]] (USA), [[Hideo Ishikawa]] (Japan)
:''Special Attacks:'' Dread Cannon-Burst Attack, Jetstream (Japan)
:''Special Attacks:'' Afterburner Blast, Turbine Wave (USA)

[[Image:CybJetfire01.jpg|thumb|250px|I'm a registered bookbinder from Brisbane!]]

After the second defeat of Unicron, Jetfire resettled on [[Nebulon]] for an indeterminate period of time. Over time, he adopted a local accent, one that sounded very vaguely like Earth-Australian to certain [[human]]s. He returned to Cybertron, his homeworld once again facing a monumental crisis, perhaps the worst in its history.

As a backup plan, Optimus Prime ordered Jetfire to visit Earth and provide them with scans of Earthen vehicle modes for the population of Cybertron to adopt. This was done so that should their primary plan of destroying the [[Unicron Singularity]] fail, the population of Cybertron could assume disguises and relocate to the human homeworld, whose inhabitants were still largely unaware of the existence of real Transformers. {{Storylink|Fallen (Cybertron episode)|Fallen}}

During the Cybertron's third great crisis, Jetfire would appeared to have mellowed in the past 20 years. He is considerably more cautious compared to his reckless youth, and adheres much more closely to orders and protocol. Perhaps all those brushes with death have finally knocked some sense into his head, or [[Headmaster|his head was replaced]] while on Nebulon.

After the final battle with [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]], peace spread across the galaxy. As part of a new initiative, Optimus Prime left aboard the starship ''[[Atlantis]]'' to chart new territory, leaving Jetfire in charge of planet Cybertron.

Free boonie hats for all!

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
====''Armada''====

Jetfire was initially unimpressed with Optimus Prime, feeling that Prime had abandoned the Autobots on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] for affairs on Earth. He soon saw eye-to-eye with his commander once more when the stakes of [[Unicron]]'s coming were revealed.

==Toys==
===Armada===
*'''Jetfire with Comettor''' (Giga-Con, 2003)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MC-09'''

[[Image:Armada_Jetfire_toy1.jpg|right|thumb|160px|"May all your chooks turn to emus and kick your dunny door flat to the grass!"]]

:Jetfire is a futuristic space shuttle molded primarily in white and gray with red paint stripes resembling the stripes seen on the original [[Jetfire|G1 Jetfire]]. His Mini-Con [[Comettor]] serves as his front landing gear and forward gun in vehicle mode. When Comettor (or any other Mini-Con) connected to the Powerlinx ports on his wings, a large red missile/bomb is dropped. When connected to Jetfire's main engine, two small wings are deployed for atmospheric flight. In robot mode Jetfire's rear landing gear becomes a shield, and his main engine forms his rifle.

:When the tail fin of Armada Jetfire's engine/weapon was pressed downward, it activates the original Generation 1 Autobot "laser" sound effect. Pressing the tail fin upwards (perhaps by placing the shuttle upright as if in launching mode) would activate a rather garbled blast-off countdown sequence. Both sounds are also ''incredibly ''easy to trigger. When a Mini-Con is powerlinxed to the gun/engine, a different laser gun sound is heard. Prior to the release of ''Powerlinx'' Jetfire, a running change erm, changed the sound effects.

:Jetfire could combine with the Super Base class Optimus Prime to form '''Jet Optimus''', by replacing the regular Super mode trailer legs and attaching Jetfire's shield onto Prime's chest. Additionally, the shield design resembles the chest armour of ''Generation 1'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Powermaster Optimus Prime Apex Armour]]/[[Ginrai|God Ginrai]].

:The Japanese release includes a much brighter white plastic, the removal battle wear and heat re-entry burn decos, a more detailed paint operations on throughout his body and accessories as well as different plastic colors.

:This mold was also used to make the [[Transformers Collectors Club]] [[exclusive]] [[Astrotrain (Timelines)|Astrotrain]].

*'''Powerlinx Jetfire with Comettor''' (Giga-Con, 2003)

[[Image:PL_Jetfire_toy.jpg|left|thumb|200px|"Don't come the raw prawn with me, luv."]]

:The Powerlinx redeco of Jetfire replaces much of the gray and red with blue, in a color scheme very similar to the ''Macross/Robotech'' Valkyrie fighter jet flown by Maximillian Jenius/Sterling.

===Energon===
*'''Jetfire''' (Mega, 2004)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''SC-05'''

[[Image:Energon_Jetfire_toy.jpg|right|thumb|170px|"If it was raining virgins I'd get washed down the drain with a poofta."]]

:Jetfire transforms again into a white and red futuristic space shuttle, this time in the smaller Mega size class and with the ability to combine with most other Autobot Deluxe and Mega Energon toys. He features an electronic transforming sound effect that activates when another Autobot combines with him.

:The Japanese version of this toy does not feature any of the electronics, uses red translucent plastic in place of orange, and has a sticker covering the now-absent battery compartment.

:This mold was also used to make [[Overcast_(Energon)|Energon Overcast]].

*'''Skyfire and Roadbuster'''
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''SS-02'''

:This was a Japan-only two-pack of both Jetfire and Ironhide. There are no differences between the toys in this pack and the individually packed Japanese versions.

*'''Skyfire Sonic''' (Mega, 2004)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''SC-25'''

:This was the Japanese release of [[Overcast_(Energon)|Energon Overcast]], though still portrayed as the same character of Skyfire. There are some differences in paint application, but the major difference is the inclusion of an orange Energon Spear, originally belonging [[Skyblast_(Energon)|Skyblast]].

{{-}}

===Cybertron===
*'''Jetfire''' (Ultra class, 2005)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''GC-04'''

[[Image:Cyb_Jetfire_toy.jpg|left|thumb|175px|Wow. I look so much like that ship from Star Wars II, and Lucas didn't come after me? No way.]]

:Jetfire was once again Ultra-sized, but this time transformed into a green cargo plane resembling a modified [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_An-225 Antonov An-225] (oddly, with two of the engines moved to the tail section). The toy features sound effects by pressing the port side aft engine nacelle. Inserting his Cyber Planet Key into his tail assembly in either vehicle or robot mode causes a pair of translucent red cannons to extend, and the compartment they are mounted on to raise. Pressing the portside aft engine now features a different sound effect. The tail section can be swiveled up to form an attack mode somewhat resembling the "gerwalk" form of a Macross Valkyrie (appropriately).

:The US version of this toy has a bar between the barrels of the translucent red tail cannons to provide structural integrity. The other differences between the US and Japanese versions are mostly cosmetic.

*'''Jetfire''' (Legends of Cybertron, 2005)

[[Image:LOC_Jetfire.jpg|right|thumb|175px|"...Shake hands with the wife's best friend? Drain the dragon? Siphon the python? Ring the rattlesnake? You know, unbutton the mutton? Like, point Percy at the porcelain?"]]

:This is a much smaller version of the Ultra-sized toy, with limited articulation and detail. In the U.S. market, LOC Jetfire was primarily sold in drug stores, though could be found in normal retailers in markets outside of the US, such as Australia.

:This mold was redecoed to make [[Classics (2006)|Classics]] [[Fireflight (G1)|Fireflight]]

*'''Jetfire''' (Burger King Kids' Meal toy, 2005)

*'''Sky Shadow''' (Ultra class, 2006)

[[Image:Cyb_Sky_Shadow_toy.jpg|left|thumb|180px|"He's a handsome wild colonial man
He can beat the bloody world if Genghis Khan"]]

:This was a tan/gold and black redeco of Cybertron Jetfire, posing as a Decepticon. It uses the same tooling as Cybertron Jetfire, so features the structurally stronger tail cannon. All other functions remain the same. This toy represents Jetfire in his [[Wikipedia:Matches Malone|cover identity]] as a Decepticon.

===Merchandise===

{{-}}
==Trivia==
* The Armada Jetfire toy's appearance and transformation sequence is an homage to ''Generation 1'' [[Galaxy Shuttle]]. This was confirmed by then-head designer [[Aaron Archer]] during his stint as 'ORSON' on the [http://www.tfw2005.com TFW2005.com] boards.

* Much like the [[Red Alert (Armada)|''Armada'' Red Alert]] toy's 'Woo-woo-woo' sound effect, the '''Armada'' Jetfire toy's original countdown sound effect briefly became something of an in-joke within the Transformers fan community.

* Jetfire's ''Cybertron'' toy appears (in plane mode) on the screen of the Hasbro version of the [[Real Gear Robots]] toy [[Power Up VT6]].

*Note that Cybertron Jetfire's name in Japanese "Dreadlock", similar to "Grimlock". Both names are composed by "fear-relative adjective + lock". Besides, Dreadlock is Cybertron Optimus Prime's Second-in-command, much resemble Grimlock's status in Marvel Continuity. Finally, their both have goggle eye and non-human [[Media:Lock_s_face.PNG|face]]. It is the reason that some fan believe Dreadlock is an equivalent character of Grimlock in Japanese Unicron Trilogy Continuity. (But the truth is, IT's merely an extrapolation.)

Scorponok (Movie)

2007-12-17T21:15:39Z

71.62.192.242: /* Transformers (2007) */

{{disambig3|Scorponok}}

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

[[Image:Movie_Scorponok_Procterrender1.jpg|thumb|right|350px|This is his first major role since ''Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie'' as Scorpitron. This role he likes better because he doesn't get blown up.]]

'''Scorponok''' is a small [[Transformer]] with a symbiotic connection to [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]. Barely sentient, a very narrow term among the Decepticons, his main drives are to hunt, destroy, and hunt some more. Just as Blackout would often be found looming powerful and silent by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], Scorponok is always near Blackout, except in those times he has been sent to kill. Since he can tunnel underground with frightening speed, he's incredibly good at ambushing. His favorite past time is playing Hide and Seek with unsuspecting players, be they robotic or organic. He prefers to be hider ''and'' seeker.

== Fiction ==
===Ghosts of Yesterday===
He helped Blackout fight [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], and later sabotaged the ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]''. [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] makes Scorponok his bitch for this. He is saved by Blackout, who was still recovering from a massive beating by Starscream. What a pal.

===''Transformers'' Movie Prequel (Target)===

[[Image:HoorayScorponok.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Adorably bloodthirsty]]

Scorponok and Blackout, who ordinarily never leave [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s side, were dispatched to join [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s forces elsewhere on Cybertron while Megatron closed in on the [[All Spark]]. After the group realized that both the All Spark and Megatron have left Cybertron, Blackout ended an argument with Starscream over what to do next by deploying the fearsome Scorponok. The entire group headed to Earth, where Scorponok adorably helped out in the massacre of a United States military installation in Afghanistan. {{Storylink|Transformers Movie Prequel (Target) Volume 2}}

'''Note:''' ''This comic has the only fictional depiction of Scorponok's robot mode (which was designed for the toy), and shows that he has always had a scorpion beast mode, and as such it was not a form he assumed once on Earth. However, given the numerous and often contradictory continuity errors in this comic, this depiction of Scorponok should be taken with a grain of salt. Although, his beast mode is just alien enough to work. Explain his name yourself.''

{{-}}

===Transformers: The Game===
After Blackout scrapped the military base in Qatar, Scroponok was sent to destroy four mobile communications vehicles, succeeding in his task. Scorponok went and did his own thing while Blackout searched the databanks for information on Megatron and the AllSpark, but reunited with Blackout in time for their escape.

After arriving in [[Mission City]], Scorponok fought through a horde of [[Energon drone]]s to secure the AllSpark. Sam Witwicky nearly handed Scorponok the AllSpark, but [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] punted Scorponok. That made Blackout very mad...

===''Transformers'' (2007) movie===

[[Image:Movie_Blackout_Scorponok_eject1.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Oh, [[slag (slang)|slag]], I forgot the Bungee cord!]]

During Blackout's attack on [[United States Military|US]] [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]], the Decepticon helicopter dispatched Scorponok to seek out and destroy the escaped unit under the command of [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]].

[[Image:Movie_Scorponok_attack.jpg|thumb|left|200px|No one buries Scorponok in the sand and leaves him to the tide!]]

The next morning, as the surviving soldiers discussed the attack, Scorponok observed their conversation from a distance while hidden in the sand. Targeting Lennox for elimination, Scorponok followed the unit as they made their way to [[Mahfous|the human boy's]] village. Choosing his moment to strike just as the men stopped on the outskirts of the settlement, his attack was foiled when [[Robert Epps|Sergeant Epps]] saw the metal scorpion tail pointed at Lennox's back and shouted a warning. (Well, it wasn't so much a warning as it was a very, very panicked "''WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!''" followed by gunfire, but hey, it counts.) The other soldiers joined in the firefight as Scorponok dove under the sand to confuse them before impaling [[Sergeant Donnelly|Sgt. Donnelly]] and dragging him below.

[[Image:Movie_Scorponok_leapsout.jpg|right|thumb|150px|HUUUGZ!!!]]

Driving the soldiers into the village, Scorponok fired a barrage of missiles which destroyed the ruins that the village had grown around and critically injured [[Jorge Figueroa|Figueroa]]. Unfortunately for Scorponok, Lennox's distress call to the [[Pentagon]] had gotten through, and an MQ-1 Predator drone relayed images of the Decepticon to astonished US military commanders. They immediately sent two [[Popular alternate modes (vehicles)#A-10 Thunderbolt II|A-10 Thunderbolt II]]s to attack Scorponok to little effect, then followed up with an AC-130 Spectre gunship, which damaged Scorponok enough for him to dive back into the sand and escape, leaving his broken tail behind.

[[Image:Scorponok hurt.JPG|left|thumb|150px|I'm not having fun any more.]]
Scorponok's tail was transported back to the States. Lennox, Epps, and several other soldiers examined it en route, which lead to the discovery that the only damage the armor didn't either shrug off or quickly heal was the "6000-degree magnesium burn" of a sabot round. Armed with this knowledge, the humans knew they now had a weapon that could hurt the invaders. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

Scorponok's current whereabouts, and what effect the death of his symbiotic partner Blackout will have, are unknown...

===Titan Magazines===

...at least until #8 of Titan's [[Category:Transformers_Magazine_issues|Transformers comic]], which will reveal what happened to Scorponok and pit him against [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. [http://simonfurman.wordpress.com/2007/12/04/script-wrap-uk-2/]

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
*'''Scorponok''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-04'''

[[Image:Move_DeluxeScorponok_toy.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Ever notice every [[Scorponok]] has the same transformation? Claws into claws, legs from the main body, tail sits behind, hoping to be ignored...]]

: Scorponok is a robotic scorpion superficially resembling a ''Zoids'' Death Stinger. His body is covered in military warning and command designation markings, suggesting he forms part of a larger military vehicle ([[Blackout (Movie)|hint, hint]]). Two wheels on the bottom of his beast mode, when pushed on a flat, smooth surface, rotate gears that cause the turbines in his body and the pincers on his arms to spin. His tail features a spring-loaded, yet non-launching stinger that extends when a latch is released.

: In beast mode, Scorponok can combine with the underside of [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout's]] helicopter mode to exploit the larger Decepticon's own gear gimmick system. A geared shaft linked to Blackout's rotor mechanism connects to a geared peg on Scorponok's back. Thus, pressing the button on Blackout's tail not only rotates his blades, but also rotates Scorponok's pincers and the turbines in his body. (This can also be done with [[Evac (Movie)|Evac]] due to him being a retool of Blackout.) This gimmick can also be activated (more easily) by rotating the geared wheels on Scorponok's undercarriage instead.

: Scorponok can transform into what might be ''charitably'' called a robot mode, but was most likely added as an afterthought to the design for added play value (and, possibly, so Hasbro could actually justify selling the toy as a "Transformer" by itself). In any case, this robot mode never appears in the movie, but does appear briefly in the Target-exclusive movie Prequel comic. In fact, another way to transform him has surfaced online: By turing the claws into feet, what would be the robot-mode-feet into hands, and making the tail into a face, you can create a different robot mode that is much better.

*'''Blackout''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-01'''

[[Image:MiniScorponok.jpg|thumb|left|150px|I'm just an accessory.]]

: Blackout comes packed with a small silver figurine of Scorponok, who himself features a spring-loaded tail. He is usually stored in a cage on the rear of Blackout's helicopter mode. (Note: The spring in the figurine's tail is oriented not to spring the tail forward, but to help propel the figure out of the cage so that it lands right side up.)

{{-}}

*'''Decepticon Desert Attack''' (multi-pack, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_DecepticonDesertAttack_2pack.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Ignoring the vast difference in scale between Scorponok's two figures while linked to Blackout takes some imagination.]]

: This package, based on their first appearance in the film, features an unchanged Voyager Blackout packaged with an unchanged Deluxe Scorponok, which was exclusively available at Toys "R" Us stores. Since Voyager Blackout was gang-molded with the miniature Scorponok figure the single release came with, this means that the set contains two Scorponok toys in different sizes.

*'''Desert Attack''' (Screen Battles, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-03'''

[[Image:Movie_ScreenBattles_DesertAttack.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Scorponok now comes with little people to kill.]]

:This pack features a Deluxe Scorponok repainted with 'sand' paint applications on his body and comes with non-posable figurines of Sergeant Epps, Jorge Figueroa and Sergeant Donnelly. They are packaged in a special window box featuring a diorama depicting the battle at [[Mahfous]]'s village.

==Trivia==
* Real physical props of Scorponok's head and tail were made by ILM's crew for certain scenes, most notably Lennox and Epps' examination of the tail leftovers on the plane. The head prop was used in the close-up of Scorponok stalking the SOCCENT survivors.<ref>[http://www.benprocter.com/SITEv2/HTML/PROJPAGE_Trans_08.html Ben Procter's portfolio, depicting CGI models and life-sized props for Scorponok]</ref>

[[Image:Movie_Scorponok_headprop.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Now ''I'm'' the [[Headmaster]]!]]

* According to writer [[Roberto Orci]] on the official Transformers Movie board, [[Ravage]] was originally going to appear in the movie (back when Blackout was still supposed to be [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]])<ref>[http://boards.transformersmovie.com/showpost.php?p=234188&postcount=2008 Roberto Orci confirms that Ravage was replaced by Scorponok at the official movie boards]</ref>, but was later changed to Scorponok when the setting of the opening scene was changed from jungle to desert.<ref>[http://boards.transformersmovie.com/showpost.php?p=234188&postcount=2008 Roberto Orci confirms that Ravage would have appeared in a different terrain at the official movie boards]</ref>

* This also puts the lack of a "robot mode" into perspective, as it makes the scorpion mode the ''robot mode'' (in the same fashion Ravage's panther mode was the robot mode), whereas his "alternate mode" is actually a part of Blackout's engine, as suggested by the Deluxe toy's various markings (which were also used for the CGI model and the life-sized props). Oddly enough, though, those same markings can also be found on props used for the scene which features the US Navy dumping the Decepticons' remains into the ocean.<ref>[http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2006/10/pics-from-uss-shoup-of-transformer.html Behind the scenes photos taken aboard the USS Shoup, depicting props from the movie used for the screne which features the US Navy dumping the Decepticons' remains into the ocean]</ref> So either Scorponok reattached himself to Blackout after he escaped the US Air Force's counter-attack in Qatar (and was therefore part of Blackout during the final battle), or Blackout somehow magically regrew the parts that were previously made up by Scorponok.

* The movie novelization spells his name "Skorponok", probably yet another late production change. Meanwhile, in interviews, Michael Bay constantly refers to him as "Scorponox", and a preorder listing for the movie score uses the spelling "Skorpinok".<ref>[http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Steve-Jablonsky/dp/B000VFGQHK Amazon.com preorder for the movie score]</ref> Come on, people. It's not like his name's Mxyzptlk.

* Speaking of real, the famous shot of Scorponok leaping from the sand after a trio of soldiers used in a lot of the promos? Scorponok is the ''only'' element of CGI in that shot. The sand-explosion behind the soldiers is real, caused by carefully timed explosives placed under the dunes, which certainly must have encouraged the actors to run like hell--the looks of fear on their faces are 100% genuine. The overwhelming majority of explosions, flying cars, and broken buildings in the movie are similarly real effects, not CGI.
