{{mainpic|October 2009}}

'''Drench''' is the kind of bot that will steal a [[Mini-spy]]'s energon credits, or tie a firecracker to a [[glitch mouse]]'s tail. (To be fair, [[Firecracker|the pea-brained Go-Bot]] was just asking for that last one.) He's not so pleasant, though, when he's in a ''bad'' mood. Cross him, he'll take a ''terrible'' revenge.

Fortunately, this mean-spirited, foul-tempered bully is not very brave. Oh, he's certainly willing to blast limbs off [[Empties]] with his high-pressure fluid cannon, but if their friends show up to help, Drench is sure to change to his speedy vehicle mode and flee back to his safe desk job, where he can push his subordinates around with impunity, as the short-tempered tyrant of the Decepticon coordination department.

Everyone hates him and, this being the Decepticons, it's likely he would've "accidentally" tripped into the Smelting Pool if not for one thing—he can coordinate units of Decepticons with incredible efficiency. He's an indispensible part of the Decepticon war machine, meaning you'll have to lump it when he sticks your head down the bog.

Were this office bully to meet the [[Drench (Autobot)|youthful Autobot nerd]] who shares his name, the results would be familiar to anybody with school experience. Most likely they'd involve a waste-disposal unit.

For some reason Drench is seen driving away from two [[Fearswoop (G1)|Fearswoops]] and warning somebody (presumably the Autobots) that Decepticon forces were about to strike. Crazy Europeans!

The [[Stormtrooper (G2)|Stormtroopers]] were part of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s forces dispatched on [[Earth]] to basically wreck stuff until [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] came to stop them. When [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] appeared to take back leadership of the Decepticons, the Stormtroopers were called in to attack Megatron. Aquablast questioned if they should, since Megatron was a former [[Decepticon leader]] and all, but apparently that doesn't hold much water (ha ha), so they blasted him anyway. {{storylink|War Zone}}

'''Crosswise''' is a monster hunter, and shares the following attributes of all the better practitioners of his craft:

*Lots of weaponry for every occasion,
*A tough, no-nonsense attitude,
*A propensity to dress in kewl black, and
*A super-cool, [[Accents|generic Central European accent]].

He sometimes calls himself Smokescreen, for some reason only a SUPER COOL MONSTER HUNTER could ever understand. Out of his way, peasants!

{{charstubfiction}}

Eons ago, reportedly Crosswise captured and imprisoned lots of Decepticon "monsters" in a crazy egg-cave-place on Earth. He did this because he's a MONSTER HUNTER!

He was subsequently entombed in ice himself, till some humans freed him.

Crosswise's first thought on being de-iced was frantic concern over his imprisoned "monsters", and so he rushed to the prison site to check on them. It turned out that the hundreds of Decepticons had stayed put quite nicely... until Starscream found the prison by following the oblivious Crosswise, and promptly liberated all the prisoners to serve as his personal army.

Nice goin', Crosswise.

: ''Cybertron'' Crosswise transforms into a Bugatti EB 15.4 Veyron sports car. Though the design is modified to avoid licensing and legal problems it is also quite realistic, compared to some of the other Earth vehicles in the ''Cybertron'' line. The spoiler is a spring-loaded missile launcher that can fire a translucent blue flame-shaped projectile. Plugging a [[Cyber Key]] in his tailgate makes a pair of missile racks pop up from the engine bay and flip over onto his roof.

: Crosswise features a fairly complex transformation sequence hearkening back to ''[[Robots in Disguise (toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]] in how the robot wears most of the vehicle like a shell, though Crosswise's robot mode resembles the classic 'hood-chest' style of Autobot cars. Compared to most other ''Cybertron'' toys (and continuing his favorable comparison to the ''RID'' toys), most of his joints allow an excellent range of movement due to extensive use of ball joints and a relatively unencumbered body design. Inserting the Cyber Key flips the missile racks onto his shoulders beside his head, evoking a similar appearance to ''Generation 1'' characters such as [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]. Two more guns are molded into his inner running boards, and can be deployed beside his hips. Crosswise's Cyber Key has the [[Cyber Key Codes|Cyber Key Code]] "'''d9f2'''" [[Tampograph|tampographed]] on its back, which when entered into Hasbro's ''Cybertron'' website, reveals additional information about the character as well as the character image seen at the top of this article.

: There are some minor deco differences between the Takara ''Galaxy Force'' Autovolt release and Crosswise. The Autovolt version has entirely gold painted hands, silver detailing on his missile racks and more of his rear lights painted.

:Crosswise was later redecoed into ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Smokescreen (Cybertron)|Smokescreen]] and [[Movie (toyline)|live-action movieverse]] [[Dead End (Movie)|Jolt]], and remolded into ''[[Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Jazz (SG)|Jazz]] and [[Ricochet (SG)|Ricochet]].

==Notes==
* In Crosswise's early appearances on the ''Cybertron'' cartoon, he was called [[Smokescreen (disambiguation)|Smokescreen]], as this was an early name for the character that had apparently lasted long enough to appear on dubbing studio [[Voicebox Productions|Voicebox]]'s scripts. The name was soon replaced by his proper one, but the earlier name did provide inspiration for the later Smokescreen redeco of Crosswise's toy.

The '''Autobot Grand Prix''' is a <strike>small, impromptu</strike> massive, elaborately planned event held on [[Circuit Planet]].

The first Grand Prix was secretly arranged by [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]] as a way to allow the Autobot forces defending [[Alpha Q]]'s planets to blow off some steam and relax. Thousands of Autobots skived off work early and surreptitiously made their way to Circuit Planet to see the event live, many more watched it as it was broadcast across the universe. The Autobots were left functioning with a skeleton crew keeping a wary eye against Decepticon action.

The course consists of a single circuit of Circuit Planet along a single predetermined route through its crisscrossing roads. Natural hazards include sharp turns, low visibility and jumps to be completed. These may be supplemented by bombardment and personal challenge to duel your commander..

Operation: Firestorm

2010-01-22T19:04:59Z

74.190.191.159: /* Battle */

[[Image:ROTFMegatronSam.jpg|thumb|350px|Megatron begins his attack on his hated enemy- the Photoshop lens flare]]
'''Operation: Firestorm''' was the battle the [[Autobot]]s, [[NEST]], and the [[United States Military]] waged against the [[Decepticon]]s for possession of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in 2009. The Decepticon objective was to seize the Matrix and activate the [[solar harvester]] that the [[Dynasty of Primes]] had built thousands of years ago, while the Autobots and NEST sought to use the Matrix to resurrect [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], the last of the [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]s and the only one who could defeat [[The Fallen]].

{{quote|We got a whole lot of fight coming our way!|[[William Lennox|Major Lennox]]|[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]}}

==Prelude==
Thousands of years ago, the Dynasty of Primes came to [[Earth]] and tried to build a machine which would harvest [[Energon (fuel)|Energon]], a process which would destroy the star Earth orbited. When the Primes discovered that the the planet was inhabited by the [[human]]s, the majority of the Primes decided to uphold their law regarding the sanctity of life and not proceed. One of the Primes, however, despised the humans and sought to activate the machine. A great battle took place, but the Dynasty prevailed and stole the Matrix from their brother, giving their lives to seal in a tomb made of their bodies. The rogue Prime was forever known as The Fallen, and his followers became known as the Decepticons.

In the present, Optimus Prime, the last descendant of the original Primes, gave his life to protect [[Sam Witwicky]], who subconsciously knew where to find the Matrix from the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]], from the clutches of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the Decepticon commander and disciple of The Fallen. Unable to find the boy on their own, the Decepticons made overt attacks in order to compel the humans to turn Sam over to them. In response, the United States government shut down NEST and ordered the Autobots with them detained. When Sam learned what he was carrying from [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]], a former Decepticon who had been sent to find the Matrix by The Fallen, he theorized that the Matrix might be able to resurrect Optimus. Setting out with his girlfriend [[Mikaela Banes]], roommate [[Leo Spitz]], former [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]], and the Autobots [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], Sam managed to contact Major [[William Lennox]] of NEST and arrange for Optimus Prime's body to be brought to the [[Gulf of Aqaba]], which held a clue to where the Matrix was hidden. Sam eventually managed to find the [[Tomb of the Primes]] in [[Petra]], but the Matrix seemingly crumbled to dust. Sam continued his belief that the Matrix could still work and gathered up the dust, then headed out with his companions while NEST airdropped into the Gulf.

==Battle==

Unfortunately, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] was in Egypt following an earlier lead on Sam. Finding the convey, Starscream began strafing Bumblebee's group. Heading into a nearby quarry, Sam and Mikaela split off from the rest of the group, while Simmons and Leo took [[the Twins]] as a diversion. Before NEST could make contact with the [[Pentagon]], Starscream released an [[electromagnetic pulse]] that disabled their communication, also noting Prime's body. [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], watching events from orbit, quickly disabled all the other satellites above the region, convincing [[Morshower|General Morshower]] to launch a UAV over the region, while also contacting the governments of [[Egypt]] and [[Jordan]] to request an assist in confirming visuals.

[[Image:ROTF Protoform army.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Humans went to war wearing body paint. Decepticons went nude.]]
As the Twins took Simmons and Leo to a quarry in [[Giza]], it quickly became apparent that Starscream was no longer following them. As Simmons considered how to proceed, Megatron arrived and landed on the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]]. Starscream informed Megatron of the presence of Prime's body, and Megatron surmised the boy's intentions. As Starscream flew off, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to begin their assault. At his command, thirteen Decepticons landed in [[transition form]]s between the NEST landing site and the Pyramids, beginning a search for Sam. Major Lennox explained the situation to his colleagues, then ordered a group of volunteers to accompany [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] up through a set of pillars to find Sam and get him to Optimus. At the quarry, the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]s arrived to form [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]], who would ''not'' actually be joining the main group.

Making their way to NEST's position, Sam and Mikaela were forced to duck into an abandoned house as Starscream made a fly over. The two humans intended to wait until it was clear, but Starscream had detected their presence and led a group of Constructicons and Protoforms in search of Sam. it didn't go very well, to the point Starscream began shooting the ground in frustration. As Sam and Mikaela tried to wait out the Decepticons, an [[Insecticon (Movie)|Insecticon]] entered the hut the two teens were hiding in. Sam destroyed the small Decepticon before he realized what it was, but not before it sent out a transmission. Starscream tore off the roof of the hut and tried to grab Sam, but his efforts brought down part of the wall, allowing the teens to escape. [[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]] nearly crushed the two teens with his [[mace|flail]], and Starscream tried the less subtle method of firing missiles at the humans, but they managed to evade the Decepticons. Before Starscream's group could proceed, [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]] and NEST soldiers opened fire on the Decepticons, preventing them from pursuing Sam. Ironhide's team then [[roll out|rolled out]] with Arcee providing escort.

[[Image:ROTF Devastator vs Twins.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Don't you hate it when your food fights back?]]
Back the quarry, the presence of the Twins compelled Devastator to activate his [[Vortex Grinder]] and begin swallowing up everything in sight. Simmons was nearly swallowed, but was saved by Leo. Mudflap was less fortunate, and was swallowed whole, which seemed to stop Devastator. Simmons realized that the only safe place was underneath Devastator, and the group made their way to him. At that point, Mudflap, who had survived, burst out of Devastator's head. Mudflap then began a furious assault on Devastator, who was unable to return fire due to his target being ''on his head''. Skids climbed up Devastator and fired a grapple to his brother, allowing Mudflap to reach him. Unfortunately, Mudflap then accidentally shot Skids in the face, sending the two Autobots to the ground below.

[[Image:ROTF movie BumblebeevsRampage.jpg|thumb|left|250px|SHORYUKEN!]]
As Sam and Mikaela continued to make their way to Optimus Prime's body, Starscream saw them on an flyby. Deciding to use a less forceful method, Starscream ordered [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] and [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] to use their back up plan. Rampage forcibly ejected [[Ron Witwicky|Ron]] and [[Judy Witwicky]], who had been captured following the Decepticon attack on [[Paris]]. Rampage held the two humans at cannon point and made it clear he wanted Sam to turn over the Matrix to him. However, Bumblebee had made his way back to Sam's position, and Sam distracted Rampage long enough for Bumblebee to drop kick the Decepticon away from the Witwickys. Reacting quickly, Rampage began laying into the smaller Autobot, but Bumblebee was faster and managed to pin Rampage, trying to break his arm. Ravage then attempted to jump Bumblebee from behind, but Bumblebee managed to grab Ravage by the tail and ''tear out his spine''! Focusing his attention back on Rampage, Bumblebee tore off Rampage's arms and overextended his neck, killing the Decepticon. Bumblebee then tried to escort the humans to NEST's position, but the heavy amount of fire forced Sam to order Bumblebee to take his parents away from the battlefield, as he continued with Mikaela.

Back at the village, the Decepticons had positioned themselves among the pillars, and were overpowering the Autobots and NEST soldiers protecting Prime's body. A pair of Jordanian helicopters made their way to the village, but one was shot down by [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]]. The other made its way to the Great Pyramid, and was downed with a blast from Megatron's [[fusion cannon]]. The helicopter survived both the shot ''and'' the crash, and Leo and Simmons began removing the survivors from the copter. Simmons took a radio from one of the soldiers and began following Devastator. By this point, the UAV that the Pentagon had launched had reached the village, and General Morshower ordered pretty much every available asset to the area.

[[Image:ROTF Ironhide vs Buffalo.jpg|thumb|250px|right|He's NOT Bonecrusher and he does NOT hate women]]
Meanwhile, Sam and Mikaela finally made contact with Ironhide's team, with Arcee informing Sam that Optimus was beyond the pillars. Before the group could leave, they were set upon by Starscream, a protoform, and [[Buffalo MPV Decepticon|another Decepticon]]. Arcee's pink and [[Elita-1 (ROTF)|purple component]]s were quickly downed while Ironhide and Arcee's [[Chromia (ROTF)|blue component]] provided cover fire. Ironhide urged Sam to get to the pillars and reach Prime's body. At the Great Pyramid, Devastator began to scale the massive structure, and Simmons realized that the pyramid was built over the harvester the Decepticons sought to activate. Using his radio to contact the ''U.S.S. Stennis'', he informed [[L. W. Wilder|Captain Wilder]] of Devastator's presence and to relay a ready order for the crew of a destroyer carrying a [[rail gun]].

At the village, the reinforcements finally made their way to NEST's position, and began unleashing their firepower on the Decepticons, downing several protoforms. [[Robert Epps|Sergeant Epps]] was able to contact the Air Force fighters and bombers en route, with two B-1 bombers carrying heavy ordnance authorized to attack. The NEST soldiers of Ironhide's team relayed that they had made contact with Sam and pointed him in the right direction. Sam and Mikaela were able to make their way past the Decepticons, who were too busy returning cover fire to search for the humans. Unfortunately, Megatron also arrived, unleashing his considerable fire power on the humans. Major Lennox and Sergeant Epps managed to make their way to Sam and Mikaela, but were unable to run for Prime's body, as [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]] began using the ruins they were hiding in as cover to attack the tanks. As he continued his assault, Jetfire then arrived and sliced Mixmaster in half, then killed the Decepticon by crushing his torso. However, Jetfire in turn was attacked by [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], fatally wounding the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]] before having his head crushed.

[[Image:ROTF Megatron vs humans.jpg|thumb|250px|left| Megs has flaming urine.]]
At the pyramid, Devastator had managed to expose the harvester by the time ''U.S.S. Kidd'' was in position to fire. Simmons relayed target coordinates to the ''Kidd'', which fired the rail gun, blowing Devastator apart. At the village, the Air Force contingent was almost ready to launch their first strike. Unfortunately, Sergeant Epps did not toss very well, with the orange smoke canister mere feet from the humans. As everyone ran for cover, the F-16s launched their strike, hitting a few protoforms and Long Haul. Ironhide soon ran out of the smoke, damaging and ejecting one of his cannons. Once the B-1s arrived, they dropped their 2000 pound JDAMs on the Decepticon position, eliminating Scrapper and the last of the protoforms. As this was going on, Sam made a mad dash from Prime's body, only for Megatron to emerge from the smoke and fire his fusion cannon at Sam's feet. The boy was caught in the blast and thrown through the air, landing near Prime's body. Megatron then continued firing on the heavy weaponry, but with him being the only apparent survivor, they turned all their weaponry on him. Under constant fire and brought to his knees, Megatron was forced to retreat.

As medics made their way to Sam, it appeared as if the boy was dead. In truth, he was in another plane of existence, where he encountered the Dynasty of Primes. They told him that he had been destined to discover the Matrix, but it could not be merely found, instead earned. Sam's courage and sacrifice in his fight to help Optimus made him worthy of the Matrix, and they returned him to life, restoring the Matrix in the process. Filled with new life and resolve, Sam made his way to the shell before him and drove the Matrix into the empty [[spark]] chamber. The plan worked, and Optimus Prime was reborn.

[[Image:ROTF Fallen headchop.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The Fallen totally chopped some dude's head off.]]
Just then, The Fallen teleported in using a [[space bridge]], knocking the Autobots to the ground and killing a few humans before he stole the Matrix. Heading the machine, The Fallen placed the Matrix into its slot and activated the solar harvester. The humans launched a volley of missiles from their heavy armor, only for The Fallen to raise it with his [[telekinesis|telekinetic powers]] and drop it above the pyramid. Optimus tried to stand, but was still injured from his previous fight with Megatron. Seeing this, Jetfire offered his parts to Optimus, then killed himself by ripping out his spark core. [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] then ordered [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] to use his electric whips to begin transplanting Jetfire's afterburners and weapons onto Optimus. Once it was complete, Optimus was left with a [[Super Mode|powered-up form]], and flew off for the pyramid.

[[Image:ROTF Megatron face melt.jpg|thumb|250px|left|GIVE ME BACK MY FACE!]]
As F-22s tried to make a bombing run against the machine, The Fallen raised some of the rocks Devastator had smashed aside to block their line of fire. One of the fighters was unable to move out of the way and impacted on a rock, exploding. Fortunately, Optimus Prime was able to fly through the rocks, knock the Fallen and Megatron off the pyramid, and fire a rocket at the machine's spire, causing the solar harvester to explode. Once they reached the ground below, Optimus and The Fallen laid into each other, and it quickly became apparent that Optimus was strong enough to defeat The Fallen. Megatron quickly came to the aide of his master, and Optimus crashed the group through some ruins, before Megatron dragged him away from the Fallen. Megatron then began to lay into Optimus, only for Prime to break off his [[Death-lock pincer|sword]] and force Megatron to eat a blast from his own fusion cannon. Damaged, Megatron tried to counterattack, but Optimus used his [[Dual Energon Swords|sword]] to slice off Megatron's fusion cannon and his afterburner to send the Decepticon leader through some ruins. Badly damaged, Megatron could barely call for Starscream.

[[Image:TheFallen-ROTFfacegotten.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Optimus really needs a psychiatrist]]
With Megatron dispatched, The Fallen was forced to face Optimus Prime alone. Although he was able to tear off one of the afterburners and strike Optimus with it, Optimus was able to grab The Fallen's spear and impale him with it, then used it to ''tear off his face''. As The Fallen tried to flee, Optimus Prime punched through his abdomen and crushed his spark core, killing The Fallen. Though horrified by the loss of his master, Megatron still looked as if he was ready to continue, until Starscream pointed out that cowards sometimes survive. Injured and unable to continue the fight, Megatron acknowledged Starscream's advice but vowed that the war would continue.

==Aftermath==
With the Fallen dead and the solar harvester destroyed, NEST and the Autobots had won. Optimus reunited with them, and the group then made their way home aboard the ''Stennis''. Following a return to the states, Sam resumed his time at college, while Optimus Prime sent a message into space detailing past events, further proclaiming that Humanity and the Autobots would face the unknown future together, as their ancestors did once before. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

==Notes==
*The events of Operation: Firestorm proceeded differently in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|novelization]] and [[Revenge of the Fallen (comic series)|comic adaptation]] based on earlier scripts. Those differences include:
**Megatron joined Starscream in strafing Bumblebee's group, but in his interstellar jet mode.
**Ironhide and Arcee never took a team to look for Sam, instead staying with the main NEST/Autobot group during the entire battle.
**Instead of shutting down the satellites above Egypt, Soundwave transmitted doctored video to the Pentagon.
**Simmons contacted Captain Wilder before the UAV transmitted information of the battle to the Pentagon. Additionally, Wilder was Captain of the ''Roosevelt'', and the rail gun was located on the ''Zumwalt''.
**Jordan and Egypt provided additional military support to the United States once it was confirmed that the Decepticons were attacking.
**Devastator was destroyed just before Optimus made his initial attack on the harvester.
**Megatron and Starscream abandoned the Fallen to his death when Optimus exposed the lie in The Fallen's promise to make Megatron a Prime, as Primes were born, not made.
