'''[[Generation 1 (television series)|Generation One]] > [[Generation 1 (television series)#Season 1|Season 1]]'''

The [[Autobots]] create the [[Dinobots]], but can barely control these new powerful warriors.

==Detailed synopsis==

'''Act One:''' A series of tremors turn the attentions of the Autobots into the ancient stone surrounding their volcano headquarters. Deep sensor scans reveal [[dinosaur]] fossils, which pique the curiosity of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. [[Spike]] explains that dinosaurs were very powerful reptiles that lived on [[Earth]] millions of years ago. He takes [[Hound (G1)|Hound]]on a tour of a natural history museum to further illustrate his paleontological crash-course. Hound snaps a few holograms of dinosaur bone displays, inspiring [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] to construct robotic versions of dinosaurs.

Elsewhere, the Decepticons stake out the [[Great Falls]] hydroelectric power facility. [[Reflector]] and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] return with the data they gathered, and Megatron orders a strike.

Wheeljack unveils the three new additions to their ranks: the Dinobots [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], [[Slag (G1)|Slag]] and [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]]. The demonstration of their power turns sour as they run amuck, their primitive brains unable to control their raw strength. The Dinobots begin attacking their fellow Autobots, even destroying [[Teletraan-1]].

'''Act Two:''' The Autobots finally reign in the rampaging Dinobots thanks to Wheejack’s [[magnetic inducer]]. Prime declares the terrible trio as too dangerous. Despite Wheeljack’s desperate entreaties, Prime pulls the plug on the project, and orders the Dinobots holed up in a cavern in the Ark, never to be activated again.

The Decepticons arrive at the Great Falls, and the humans try to reach the Autobots via Teletraan-1. Their distress signal goes unheard, as Teletraan-1 is currently offline thanks to the Dinobot rampage.

With Teletraan-1 out of commission, it’s up to individual Autobots scouts like Hound to be on the lookout for Decepticon activity. Hound’s sensors detect the ransacking of the Great Falls plant, and he and Spike go to investigate. Hound radios in his findings to the Ark, and Optimus Prime leaves with a strike force, leaving Bumblebee behind to guard the base.

The Autobots arrive at the Great Falls, but the Decepticons are ready for them. A battle erupts, and Megatron fires his fusion cannon directly powered by the Great Falls output. He blasts the cliff-face where the Autobots stand, sending them falling into the raging waters below.

'''Act Three:''' Disobeying orders, Bumblebee arrives at the Great Falls and picks up Spike. They return to the Ark, informing Wheeljack and Ratchet of the Autobots’ failure at the Great Falls. Wheeljack decides to reactivate the Dinobots. He has secretly developed a series of memory components that would upgrade the Dinobots’ brains. The Dinobots awaken. Still relatively simple-minded, they are now much more intelligent than the mindless monsters that first appeared. Sludge, Slag and Grimlock carry out Wheeljack’s orders and fly to the Great Falls.

The Decepticons pull the soggy Autobots from the drink and truss them up with [[Energon chains]]. Just as the Decepticons are about the execute the captives, the Dinobots arrive and make short work of the Decepticons who retreat as Wheeljack frees the Autobot captives. Wheeljack and Bumblebee brace themselves for reprimands for disobeying Prime’s direct orders, but Prime concedes he was wrong. He accepts the Dinobots as the newest members of the Autobot forces.

“Wow, man. That’s what I call heavy metal!” – Unidentified museum-going punk, upon seeing Hound

“That one’s a walking fang-factory.” – Hound, seeing the T-rex skeleton

“It’ll never work. Big waste of time.” – Huffer, cheerleading the Dinobot project

“Will you get to the point!” – Windcharger, cutting through Wheeljack’s introduction of the Dinobots

“C’mon Grimlock! Try stepping on a bug!” – Bumblebee

“Hey, not the face, okay? I just had it chromed.” – Sunstreaker

==Other notes==

===Animation and/or technical glitches===

* The exposition-spouting tourist visiting the Great Falls hydroelectric power plant has hair that turns from red to black from one shot to the next.

* Spike identifies a brontosaurus during his tour of the museum’s dinosaur exhibit, though there does not appear to be a brontosaurus on display. Though, to be fair, it may just be Spike’s error, or the brontosaurus skeleton might be out of the camera’s view. (Also, the Brontosaurus does not technically exist, but that's just picking nits.)

* Though the holographic dinosaurs illustrated in the episodes matched some of the concepts of the early ‘80s, their depiction is outdated by today’s standards. The dinosaurs in the show are the sluggish, tail-dragging cold-blooded variety not in keeping with more modern theories.

* The data gathered by Reflector and Soundwave leads Megatron to conclude with relish that the Great Falls contain enough energy exists to vanquish the Autobots and control the universe… but that’s really nothing new. The Decepticons have targeted hydroelectric power sources before.

* Though it’s possible the editorial pace of the show plays with time and space, but taken at face value, the Autobots build three Dinobots in the span of time it takes the Decepticons to decide to attack the Great Falls.

* Wheeljack’s line of dialogue, “Autobots, meet Dinobots” is delivered by Ratchet.

* As Wheeljack introduces the Dinobots, the foreground characters slide magically against the background scenery due to an error in animation.

* The varied Autobot reactions upon seeing the Dinobots: “Look at the size of those things,” “Great Cybertron,” “Holy hetradyne” all come out of Bluestreak’s mouth.

* Optimus Prime’s line, “Interesting, but what else can they do?” is delivered by Cliffjumper.

* The Rhino DVD version of this episode uses a faulty take for the shot where the Dinobots demonstrate their power by clearing rubble, making In the DVD, the blasts from the Dinobots’ mouths is missing, and the rubble does not vanish. The broadcast version, though, has both effects. (See illustration). [[Image:dvd broadcast.jpg|right|thumb|Can you see the difference?]]

* After Ratchet rights a tipped over Bumblee in the thick of the Dinobot rampage, the section of Ratchet obscured by a foreground Bumblebee is still missing.

* When the Decepticons arrive at the Great Falls plant, a foreground Decepticon seeker’s leg is colored a deep yellow… an error, but as close as Sunstorm ever came to appearing on Earth in a G1 cartoon.

* When the Autobots arrive at the Great Falls, they transform from vehicle mode to robot mode. The shot of Bluestreak is reversed, and he is shown transforming from robot to car. This is only in the Rhino DVD version of the episode. The broadcast version used the correct take.

* Bluestreak is shown knocked over by Gears, and then immediately standing in the next shot.

* Quite a few coloring mix-ups in the battle at the Great Falls, including Sunstreaker painted as Sideswipe, Bluestreak as Trailbreaker, Brawn as Hound, Optimus Prime as Sideswipe, Trailbreaker as Gears, and Mirage as Bluestreak. There are also two very noticeable shots of Prime painted blue.

* While the Autobots are trapped in Energon Chains, Optimus is colored entirely blue.

===Miscellaneous trivia===

* Ironhide is equipped with a [[sonadar]] sensor array that extends form his forearm, capable of penetrating solid rock. The findings of the sensor are displayed in the windshield in his chest.

* Sideswipe is equipped with piston arms, that allow him to punch through stone walls.

* Slag’s triceratops frill can reflect Optimus Prime’s laser rifle.

* Not so much a goof, but the Rhino DVD version of this episode has a rainbow visible at the Great Falls when Megatron lands. This is not in the broadcast version.

* Another difference in the broadcast version and the Rhino DVD version is when Hound contacts the Ark with a recon report. The glowing light on his chest and forehead are blue in the broadcast version, but red in the DVD version.

* The Dinobots are capable of flight

* Laserbeak does not appear but is mentioned in this episode, as Megatron credits him for gathering intelligence at the Great Falls.

* The chapter stops for this episode on the Rhino DVD are: Opening / Old Bones / "Dinobots Must Die" / Fusion Power / Permanent Dysfunction / Dinobots Will Stay

Roller (G1)

2007-03-28T05:46:10Z

75.22.44.148:

:''Roller is a component of [[Autobot]] leader [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Roller deploy.jpg|thumb|Roller's one tough little autobot]]

In robot mode, Optimus Prime splits into three components:
*A sentient robot module.
*A wheeled drone module known as '''Roller'''.
*A [[Combat Deck]].

Although Optimus Prime can function as three independent modules, injury to any one module is felt by the other two.

Prime's original character description, as seen in the [[Transformers Universe (Marvel comic)|''Transformers Universe'']] comic and the series bible named the robot module "Optimus" and the drone module "Prime", noting that the Prime module is also known as Roller. However, in practice, these names were never used as such. The robot module was always treated as if named "Optimus Prime", with "Prime" even being the robot module's most common nick name.

'''Voice actors:''' [[Wikipedia:Ben Burtt|Ben Burtt]]

==Capabilities==

Roller is a small cart-shaped device that Optimus Prime uses to unobtrusively slip behind enemy lines. He can maintain radio control over Roller at distances up to 1200 miles. Having Roller present somewhere is like being there himself.

Roller is a droid, able to function autonomously without Optimus' active oversight. But without Optimus, by far the most important of the three modules, Roller would not survive. Optimus shows great attachment and concern for Roller, who is left particularly vulnerable by the behind-the-scenes situations in which he specializes.

Roller is able to speak in a series of beeps and whistles which, interestingly enough, resemble those of R2-D2.

==Origin==
[[Image:Barrelroller_g1.jpg|thumb|100px|Roll out the barrel, we'll have a barrel of fun...]]
The bio information in the [[E-Hobby]] exclusive toy of [[Orion Pax (G1)|Orion Pax]] established a pre-Earth history for Roller. Orion Pax was a transport and delivery worker on Cybertron. His body was composed to two autonomous units, Orion (the robot) and an industrial droid '''Barrelroller''', who transformed into an electromagnetic lift handle.

The name "Barrelroller" only appears in the official English-language translations of Orion Pax's bio on Takara's E-Hobby site. In the Japanese-language version of the bio -both online and on the pack-in bio card from the toy- Barrelroller is called simply "Roller". This more or less cements the idea that Barrelroller was rebuilt into Roller as we know him when Alpha Trion rebuilt Orion Pax into Optimus Prime.

When Bumblebee and Sparkplug are caught by Decepticons, and with the clock ticking on the bomb they planted, Optimus Prime sends Roller into the mine. When the bomb explodes, Optimus is nearly destroyed, but Roller emerges cheekily unscathed, prompting Jazz to observe "Roller's one tough little Autobot!"

Roller leads the Decepticons on a merry chase, allowing Optimus to rescue Ironhide from the jaws of undignified death!

Transformer afterlife

2007-03-27T06:02:37Z

75.22.44.148:

{{disambig2|the extradimensional entity also known as the Matrix|the [[Unicron Trilogy]] power plant|Allspark Power Generation Station}}
{{Template:Disambig3|Matrix}}

[[Image:Theallspark.jpg|right|thumb|The Allspark. Yes, it does kind of look like a big sperm on purpose. ]]

'''The Allspark''' is the source of Transformer life.

==Generation 1/Beast Era==

The Allspark - also known as "the Matrix" or "the Well of All Sparks" - is the dimension from which all Transformer [[spark]]s that exist, have existed, or ever will exist originate. Collectively, the sparks that compose the Allspark are the essence of [[Primus]].

When a Transformer is "born," a single spark departs the Allspark and suffuses itself into the new Transformer body, giving it true life and soul. When the Transformer then reaches the end of its life, the spark departs its body and returns to the Allspark; all the knowledge that the Transformer acquired and all of its life experiences are contained with the spark, and they are added to the totality that it the Allspark. This collective knowledge is known as the "Wisdom of the Ages." Sparks do not retain their individuality within the Allspark, save for those belonging to former Autobot leaders.

The Autobot mantra "[[Till all are one]]" is likely derived in some way from the unity that exists within the Allspark. Whether it refers to a day when the war will end and Autobot and Decepticon will become united, or to the ultimate end of Transformer life and the return of all sparks to the Allspark, however, is unknown.

===Means of access===

There are several known means of accessing the Allspark.

*Most prominently, there is the [[Matrix of Leadership]], the legendary talisman carried by Autobot leaders. In addition to permitting the creation of new Transformer life by transferring a spark from the Allspark, the Matrix also allows Autobots to access the Allspark's accumulated wisdom by sending their own spark into it, to be guided and informed by the sparks of the deceased Autobot leaders. This method, in particular, seems to have caused some confusion amongst Transformers - the Allspark has been called "The Matrix" on several occasions, and many Transformers labor under the misconception that the Matrix of Leadership actually ''contains'' the sparks of the Autobot leaders.

*Secondly, there is the mega-computer [[Vector Sigma]], which, like the Matrix, endows new Transformers with life through the transferrence of sparks. The most common method of communication with the Allspark via Vector Sigma involves the use of its [[shell program]], the [[Oracle (G1)|Oracle]], which permits a "receptive spark" to commune directly with the collective intelligence of the Allspark; at one stage, however, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] used the empty shell of the Matrix of Leadership to access the Allspark through Vector Sigma and spoke directly to [[Alpha Trion]].

==Live-action movie==

The Allspark is a physical object of mysterious origin. A large, metallic cube, it is inscribed with ornate runes and is believed to be responsible for creating and sustaining the Transformer race and the planet of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] itself.

''('''Note:''' The movie's Allspark is a big cube because, in the original screenplay, it was going to be called the "[[Energon cube|Energon Cube]].")

===Prequel===

Swayed to the side of evil by the lure of the Allspark's power, Cybertron's co-ruler Lord Megatron went rogue with his own army, seeking to take control of it. At Optimus Prime's orders, [[Bumblebee]] and a group of Autobots secretly transported the Allspark to [[Tyger Pax]], only to be pursued by the Decepticons. Megatron himself took a personal hand in the torture of Bumblebee, attempting to force him to reveal the Allspark's location, but his efforts went in vain, and the Allspark was blasted into space to put it beyond Megatron's reach. In response, Megatron crushed Bumblebee's voice box and began to follow the Allspark to Earth.

==Notes==

*The Allspark is comparable to the [[Linkage (dimension)|Linkage]], the communal soul dimension of the [[Mini-Cons]].
