: &#039;&#039;Blurr is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Blurr-AR-DVD.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Raise your hand if you&#039;re sure!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Blurr&#039;&#039;&#039; is a serious minded, yet highly competitive warrior.  He has a friendly rivalry with [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] and awkwardly avoids the annoyingly nerdy [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]], who embarrasses him with his idol worship. In keeping with his generally silent, serious demeanor, he is an experts marksman, serving as sniper in [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime&#039;s]] unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His [[Mini-Con]] partner is [[Incinerator]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Japanese name:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Silverbolt&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Voice actor:&#039;&#039; [[Brian Drummond]] (US) [[Isshin Chiba]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blurr was an Autobot officer holding the rank of lieutenant. He was a veteran of the campaigns on the wartorn planet Duke. While serving on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Blurr encountered a young Autobot named [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]], who had somehow fallen prey to a rope trap. To his chagrin, saving the younger soldier led to Side Swipe idolizing Blurr, to the point of following the seasoned veteran to Earth when Blurr transferred to Optimus Prime command.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blurr is described as a racer with a gruff serious personality. He doesn&#039;t like small talk and prefers to keep himself busy working. Blurr has a dislike for the children and especially Side Swipe. Blurr relates most to Scavenger, as the two are very similar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
While fighting the [[Unicron]] herald [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], Blurr&#039;s gun and fingers were cut off by the Pretender.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Blurr transforms into a sleek Cybertronic race car. In this mode, plugging his packed-in Mini-Con partner [[Incinerator]] into the space under Blurr&#039;s spoiler causes the rear side panels of Blurr&#039;s car mode to flip down into a &amp;quot;flight mode&amp;quot;. This mode also makes his twin [[Powerlinx]]-activated spring-loaded missile launchers available, which become hand-held weapons in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The Japanese release of Blurr has several significant color differences, most notably the lack of &amp;quot;dirt-wash&amp;quot; on his car mode, clear-red canopy rather than clear-yellow, plus his head has an entirely different set of [[paint applications]].&lt;br /&gt;

Although the toy package bio differs, it offers no &#039;&#039;explicitly&#039;&#039; contradictory information (though &#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039; Blurr was never depicted as a racing champion). Blurr is described as having stayed behind on Cybertron to protect it from the Decepticon assault in the face of the [[Unicron Singularity]]&#039;s appearance.&lt;br /&gt;

Blurr is described as having stayed behind on Cybertron to protect it from the Decepticon assault in the face of the [[Unicron Singularity]]&#039;s appearance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{disambig3|Soundwave}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Soundwave is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]]. In the Japanese series, he later took the name &#039;&#039;&#039;Soundblaster&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Soundwave_mixalot.jpg|thumb|300px|Big butts: preferred. Lying: impossible.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Soundwave&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]&#039;s most reliable troops, and has positioned himself comfortably and irreplaceably in Megatron&#039;s upper command structure, and stands at the Decepticon leader&#039;s side as confidant. Soundwave guards his place in the hierarchy fiercely.  Though loyal to Megatron, the other Decepticons see him as a two-faced snake.  As Communications Officer, Soundwave sees and hears all, and will not hesitate to use blackmail to keep himself high in Megatron&#039;s esteem.  The other Decepticons wouldn&#039;t mind abandoning him on the battlefield -- if they thought Megatron would let them get away with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave commands a legion of cassette troops to carry out tasks big and small.  Sometimes he lets them all out to watch impromptu gladiator games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;French-Canadian name: &#039;&#039;&#039;Radar&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Italian name: &#039;&#039;&#039;Memor&#039;&#039;&#039; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;RTM dub name (Soundblaster): &#039;&#039;&#039;New Soundwave&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Marvel Comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;(Note: Events from the UK-only comic stories are in italics.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Contentedfools.jpg|left|thumb|200px|[[Ravage]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and Soundwave, the first Decepticons.]]&lt;br /&gt;
After the Transformers&#039; awakening on Earth, Soundwave served quietly under Megatron, before he was overthrown by Shockwave. Under Shockwave&#039;s command, Soundwave attacked the [[Blackrock Aerospace Plant]] and secured it for Decepticon use. {{storylink|Warrior School!}} The plant&#039;s facilities were used to create the [[Constructicons]], who built a massive radio dish that Soundwave used to beam a message back to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Next Best Thing to Being There!}} &#039;&#039;Soundwave assumed leadership of the Decepticons a short time later and lead them against the Autobots during the &amp;quot;Dinobot Hunt,&amp;quot; during a brief period when both Megatron and Shockwave were missing in action.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Dinobot Hunt}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Megatron resurfaced, rendered immobile in a Wyoming coal mine due to lack of fuel, Soundwave sped to his rescue, re-energizing him. {{storylink| I, Robot Master!}} &#039;&#039;Using the splintered state of the Decepticon forces to his advantage, Soundwave worked both sides of the field, reporting to both Megatron and the returned Shockwave, without the other&#039;s knowledge. When Shockwave learned that the human [[Buster Witwicky]] had begun to suffer [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]-induced visions of the [[combiner|next leap in Transformer evolution]], Soundwave reported this to Megatron, prompting him to battle Shockwave for leadership. The Decepticons&#039; human ally, [[Robot Master]], televised the battle, much to Soundwave&#039;s distaste, and in order to prevent the Decepticons from looking like fools, interrupted the duel and insisted that they agree to a joint leadership.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Second Generation!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Laserbeakwarriorschool.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Fly, my pretties, fly!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;When the [[Robot-Master]] hoax the Decepticons were perpetrating was threatened by the investigate work of [[Joy Meadows]], Soundwave was instrumental in ending the conflict that ensued between the Decepticons and the Dinobots by holding the reporter hostage and destroying her footage.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|In the National Interest!}} &#039;&#039;Not long thereafter, when the deranged future Decepticon, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], travelled back in time, Soundwave was intruiged by the fact that he was unable to scan his mind to discern the truth of his identity. Siding with Megatron when conflict erupted, Soundwave and his leader were buried under an avalanche by Galvatron, and then rescued by the Autobots in the name of forming an alliance to defeat their common enemy.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Target 2006}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It would be some time before Soundwave came back to the fore, and his return to the spotlight was an ignominious one. With Megatron having apparently died, Soundwave was now once again under Shockwave&#039;s command, and, while patrolling on the Decepticon&#039;s mobile island base, found himself attacked and subdued by the time-travelling freelance peace-keeping agent, [[Death&#039;s Head]], and tricked into giving up information on the whereabouts of Galvatron.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Hunters!}} &#039;&#039;Although Death&#039;s Head&#039;s attempts to track down the Decepticon met with failure, Galvatron was ultimately entombed in lava, where he was later discovered by [[Susan Hoffman]]. Soundwave observed a televised broadcast of her discovery, and he and the [[Combaticon]]s attempted to destroy Galvatron with explosives planted around the volcano in question. After a battle with the [[Throttlebot]]s, Soundwave found that he was unable to remotely detonate the explosives planted around the volcano thanks to Blaster jamming his signal.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Ladies&#039; Night!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Soundwave uscomics.jpg|thumb|left|G2 before it was cool.]]When Shockwave was removed from power, Soundwave smoothly transitioned to serving under the new Decepticon leader Ratbat, and helped to operate his [[Realvision]] playback system to decode data from Autobot tapes [[Grandslam]] and [[Raindance]]. {{storylink|The Flames of Boltax!}} The tapes, it was discovered, contained information on the [[Underbase]], the power of which was soon claimed by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], who immediately targeted the Earth. Soundwave co-lead the defence of New York alongside [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], but was deactivated by a blast of cosmic power from Starscream. {{storylink|Dark Star!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It would be some time before Soundwave was operational again, but was back on his feet by the time that Starscream - now a [[Pretender]] - was busy doubting his self-worth.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Fallen Star}} He continued to operate under the command of the new Decepticon Earth commander, [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;In 2007, in the alternate future world of [[Earth-120185]], Soundwave was second-in-command of the Decepticon forces under Shockwave, and succeeded him after Death&#039;s Head assassinated him on the orders of [[Unicron]].&#039;&#039; {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}} &#039;&#039;In 2008, Soundwave entered into an alliance with the [[Quintesson]]s, arranging to attack the Autobots as part of a larger plan. He was, however, unaware of the aliens&#039; true plans to take control of Cybertron, and found himself double-crossed when the Quintessons ambushed the Decepticons en route to their attack on the Autobots. The Autobots, led by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], saved Soundwave&#039;s forces from the Quintessons, and they joind forces to repel the Quintesson invasion.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Space Pirates!}} &#039;&#039;Finally, in 2009, Soundwave led the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] back in time to 1989, where they briefly participated in the &amp;quot;Time Wars,&amp;quot; before returning to their own time in the midst of the conflict to save their own hides.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Time Wars}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Earthforce====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;In the tangent timeline that is home to the Autobot [[Earthforce]] team, Soundwave nominally served on Megatron&#039;s side during the Decepticon Civil War, but, once again, was not above exploiting the conflict for his own ends. When an energon shipment was hijacked by Shockwave&#039;s forces thanks to information he had given them, Megatron came to suspect the presence of a traitor in his ranks, but ironically assigned Soundwave to identify them. To keep his own duplicity a secret, he sets up [[Wildrider]] to take the fall, and Megatron destroys the [[Stunticon]].&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Secrets}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Approached by Starscream with a plan to make them both Decepticon leaders, Soundwave joined forces with the schemer and lured Megatron and Shockwave to an airport, tipping off the Autobots to their location. With the two leaders thus occupied, Soundwave and Starscream take control.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Internal Affairs!}}&#039;&#039; Subsequently, Soundwave led an all-out attack on the Earthforce base as a diversion, while Starscream attempts to plunder an oil tanker. Starscream meets with failure, however, leading Soundwave to withdraw his forces, and wonder if he should not take leadership for himself alone.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}} &#039;&#039;Starscream is aware of Soundwave&#039;s goals, and when he is attacked by a group of alien assassins, suspects that he has ordered the hit and strikes back at him. Soundwave is able to convince him he is not responsible - in actuality, it was the work of Megatron and Soundwave.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|External Forces!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Learning that human reporter [[Irwin Spoon]] had secured an interview with the Autobots that could potentially resolve public view of the Transformer war. Seeking to prevent this, he has the Stunticons captured the journalist, and although the Autobots are able to rescue him, a carefully planted [[cerebro-shell]] ensures that the story Irwin writes is anything but accurate.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|End of the Road!}}&lt;br /&gt;

====&#039;&#039;The Transformers&#039;&#039;====&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice Actor:&#039;&#039; [[Frank Welker]] (US), [[Issei Masamune]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Cybertronsoundwave.jpg|thumb||left|Ummm what use is this?.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to his arrival on Earth, Soundwave had the questionably useful [[altmode]] of a space-age lamp-post. This allowed him to get as close to Autobot headquarters as the street leading into [[Iacon]], but thankfully his chest-dwelling minion [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] could snoop even closer. The loyal Laserbeak overheard talk of the Autobot mission to seek new energy sources off Cybertron, which prompted the fateful Decepticon interception mission that eventually landed both teams on Earth.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Immediately after the Transformers awakened on Earth in 1984, Soundwave played an essential role in the generation of [[energon cube]]s and the formation of plans for a new space cruiser to return the Decepticons to Cybertron.  He sounded really cool when he talked about these, too. Soundwave was reformatted as a portable casette player, which allowed him to dupe a grabby and none-too-questioning [[Spike Witwicky]] into carrying his shrunken form into the [[Ark]] headquarters.  This was to happen many times to the seemingly tape-deck addicted citizens of Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, he used his mind-reading talents to acquire an antimatter formula for the Decepticons from the brain of [[Chip Chase]]. One of Soundwave&#039;s most notable misadventures came in in 1985, when, operating a plan conceived by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], he brainwashed humans with ultrasonic vibrations inside the Decepticon-built night club [[Dancitron]] in [[New York City]], leading to a confrontation with his Autobot Communications Officer counterpart, [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], beginning a lasting rivalry between the two.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Soundwaveg1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|We&#039;ll get you next time, Gadget.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave rarely displayed much emotion, and only infrequently exhibited any cunning and self-serving traits. He came across as extremely loyal to Megatron, even going so far as to recover the mortally wounded leader after being left for dead at the Battle of Autobot City in 2005. But while Soundwave was loyal, he was far from stupid, and kept his mouth shut when Megatron was subsequently ejected into space, and although he did suggest himself as a replacement leader, he again loyally served Megatron when he returned as [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the year 2006, although operating in a less prominent capacity for most of the time, Soundwave played a prominent role in Galvatron&#039;s attempt to learn the secret of a sonic weapon on the planet [[Eurythma]], where sound and music were the way of life, leaving Soundwave entranced by the planet&#039;s perfect melodies. Recording each piece of the harmony that formed the devastating sonic effect, Soundwave was defeated when the Eurythmans countered the harmony with white noise, and was again pulled into a confrontation with Blaster, who erased his recordings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====&#039;&#039;Fight!  Super Robot Lifeform Transformer&#039;&#039; manga=====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave and his cassettes had stolen some top secret information and were being pursued through Tokyo by the Autobots.  His chase eventually ended when Bumblebee got the drop on him with his patented &amp;quot;Bumble-Kick&amp;quot; and shattered his chest and the stolen information within.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The manga maintained something resembling continuity: during his appearance in the third issue of the book, Soundwave was shown to have bandages over his chest.  Adorable.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====&#039;&#039;Fight!  Super Robot Lifeform Trasnformer&#039;&#039; story pages=====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the second &amp;quot;Anime Theater&amp;quot; story page, titled &#039;&#039;Sick em, Hound!&#039;&#039;, the Autobots decided to keep themselves in shape by having a friendly race.  Soundwave learned of the race and set up a trap within a narrow canyon.  He walled the Autobots up within the canyon and began shooting them all.  Luckily, [[Hound]] arrived on the scene and delivered a powerful punch to his chest, shattering his tape door.  Soundwave immediately fled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;Headmasters&#039;&#039;====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after the arrival of the [[Headmaster]]s, Soundwave and Blaster engaged in their final clash in the Arctic circle as the Autobots and Decepticons were in the process of searching for the missing Autobot [[Matrix]] of Leadership. The two opponents inflicted fatal damage on each other, and Soundwave&#039;s body exploded even as Blaster collapsed, but his fragments were recovered by his cassettes. Using reconstructive technology from the planet [[Master]], the leader of the Decepticon Headmasters, [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] successfully rebuilt and resurrected Soundwave as &#039;&#039;&#039;Soundblaster&#039;&#039;&#039; - essentially identical to his former self, except for his predominantly black color scheme. As Soundblaster, Soundwave served the same role as he had ever done under the leadership of Galvatron and later Scorponok, frequently embarking on spying missions with [[Ratbat]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====&#039;&#039;Headmasters&#039;&#039; manga=====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Decepticons had been vanquished from Earth, [[Scorponok (G1)|Mega Zarak]] ordered Soundblaster to remain on Earth in secret to act as a spy for the Decepticons.  Soundwave made his presence and intentions known almost instantly (not a very good spy) by kicking [[Wheelie]] square in the face and taking the [[Spike Witwicky|Witwicky]] family hostage. Strangely enough, the Autobots considered these acts to be hostile. [[Chromedome]] was left powerless to do anything but surrender, as [[Slugfest]] and [[Overkill]] brutalized [[Spike Witwicky|Spike]] and threatened [[Carly]].  Daniel finally snapped and beat the living crap out of the two Cassette dinosaurs, leaving Soundblaster open to Chromedome&#039;s poorly named &amp;quot;Master-Chrome Hurricane Throw to the End of Hell!&amp;quot;  Chromedome chucked Soundblaster over the horizon where he landed near the rogue Decepticon, [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In &#039;&#039;[[When Continents Collide]]&#039;&#039;, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] calls Soundwave a &amp;quot;blundering tape-filled idiot.&amp;quot;  This is notable because it is hilarious. Also, Soundwave is really, really whiny in these stories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave is shown among the many Transformers strewn about the interior of the Ark when the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] infiltrates the ship on his mission to destroy Optimus Prime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[3H]] &#039;&#039;Tales of the Beast Wars&#039;&#039; comics, Soundwave is one of the ancient warriors who appears from [[J&#039;nwan]] to help battle the warlord [[Shokaract]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave was among the Decepticons who quickly joined Shockwave&#039;s forces upon returning to Cybertron.  It seems clear, however, that Soundwave had little loyalty to him, as he readily joins up with Starscream when the [[Seeker]] decides to return to Earth and take over.  Though Soundwave feigned subservience to Starscream, it is later revealed that he had been serving Megatron the entire time in secret.&lt;br /&gt;

Due to the lack of fiction, it is &#039;&#039;possible&#039;&#039; that this incarnation is in fact an alternate-universe version of Soundwave, or possibly a new character altogether.&lt;br /&gt;

:In &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039;, a [[redeco]] of the [[Laser Cycle]] [[Road Pig]] was planned as Soundwave, but ultimately never released, one of many planned redecos that never made it. Some packaged samples do exist.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Soundwavecommercial.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Say hello to my leetle friend!]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Though Soundwave&#039;s toy is a microcassette recorder, his fictional appearances depict him as a stereo cassette deck or Walkman.  (Likewise, his microcassette tapes are depicted as regular audio cassettes.)&lt;br /&gt;
* Animation from early &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; commercials featured a Soundwave model colored in very light blue, versus the dark blue used later.  Also, instead of the cassettes ejecting themselves from his chest, he reached into his chest compartment with his own fingers and threw the (tiny) tapes into the air.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Marvel US comics chose a purple scheme for Soundwave.  This could have been an error, an early look for him that was dropped in other media, or perhaps an attempt to distinguish him from the other Decepticons, who were mostly blue (especially since blacks also ended up as blues in the industry&#039;s then-limited color pallette).  The Marvel UK comics colored him blue like everywhere else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Bm soundwave.jpg|thumb|right|Soundwave gets slagged by Vehicons, and Nightscream escapes. How&#039;s that for injustice?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Soundwave&#039;s computer model was used for one of the generic transformers in Beast Machines seen in [[Nightscream]]&#039;s flashback being cornered by [[Vehicon]] drones just before Nightscream fled into the lower levels of Cybertron.  Though the model was recolored, it was still really &amp;lt;span title=&amp;quot;This may not be an actual word&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;cursor:help;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;Soundwavey,&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; causing much confusion among fans.&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Soundwave&#039;s character model showed up numerous times in various color schemes as a generic background character in [[Armada (television series)|Armada]].&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Sideways]] listened to music using a tape deck resembling Soundwave in the [[Cybertron (television series)|Cybertron]] cartoon. Later, after a new [[Planet X (Cybertron)|Planet X]] was found, &#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;&#039; [[Soundwave (Cybertron)|Soundwave]] held tape deck Soundwave in his arms.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;:&#039;&#039;Blackarachnia is a [[Predacon]], [[Maximal]], and a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Beast Era]] [[continuity family]]. She gets around, huh?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Blackarachniabw.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Hot, poisonous, and deadly.  Rowr!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A sultry femme fatale, &#039;&#039;&#039;Blackarachnia&#039;&#039;&#039; is smart, sexy, and dangerous.  She&#039;s got eight legs, and she knows how to use them.  Of the several rebellious Predacons under [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]&#039;s command, she&#039;s one of the very few who can, on occasion, outguile him.  Always looking out for Number One, Blackarachnia values her independence and freedom above all else.  She would rather be deactivated than be a slave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blackarchnia&#039;s greatest weakness, other than her overconfidence, is her feelings for the Maximal [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]].  Something about his heroic demeanor and the kindness he shows her makes her uneasy.  She hasn&#039;t experienced unconditional love before, and it scares her, though she&#039;ll never admit it.&lt;br /&gt;

====&#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039;====&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:TM2 Blackarachnia.jpg|left|thumb|Calender Bot]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Voice Actress:&#039;&#039;&#039; [[Venus Terzo]] (US), [[Ryōka Yuzuki]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blackarachnia was born from one of the [[Maximal]] fallen [[Stasis pod]]s. [[Tarantulus]], watching a black widow fight and devour another spider, was inspired. [[Megatron (BW)]], observing the slim and attractive Blackarachnia transform and strike a few poses, suggested that he had &amp;quot;ulterior motives behind her beast form selection.&amp;quot; But, she was a Predacon, and that was what was important. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blackarachnia made herself reknowned among the ranks of both the Maximals and Predacons as a severe headache to Megatron. When Tarantulus found out about the [[Vok]], he tried to craft a stasis pod escape ship for himself, and she was there to forge a partnership {{storylink|Spider&#039;s Game}}. When [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]] and Blackarachnia journeyed to the island, she was there to shove him out of the way and take control of the island herself, only defeated by [[Tigatron]] {{storylink|The Trigger, Part 1}}. When [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] took control of [[Waspinator]]&#039;s body, she was right next to him when he betrayed Megatron, betraying Starscream &#039;&#039;back&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Possession}}. When Tarantulus forced her to investigate Megatron&#039;s [[Golden Disk]] backups, she waited until Tarantulus was occupied to download and encrypt the recoverable information. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Vok were moments away from returning, Tarantulus and Blackarachnia both again teamed up in an attempt to flee the dying planet. Megatron, already aware of the next move, used their deceptive tendancies against them, and acted unaware of their treachary. As they built their escape ship, he installed his own variant on the design, making it unescapable once sealed and in space. Though it did not destroy either of them, the result was even better; [[Optimus Primal]]. {{storylink|Other Voices, Part 2}} Blackarachnia&#039;s wits saved her, as she convinced Megatron that he would need soldiers, which gave him reason to spare her life. {{storylink|Aftermath}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When an energon blast sent her and Silverbolt into the middle of the dense jungles, they were forced to work together. Blackarachnia, though attracted to him, was endlessly frustrated by his seemingly idiotic chivalry and need to treat her special. Megatron, listening in to their commlink chatter, was disgusted by the obvious romance going on. Blackarachnia, though she held it under a firm charade of bitter irritation, rather liked the treatment and affection. {{storylink|Bad Spark}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron sent Waspinator to the location of the Ark. Blackarachnia, realizing what it meant, abandoned her post and went instead. Silverbolt followed her, and stubbornly refused to leave her alone. Exhausted and in a hurry, she conceded and told him to dig. The two broke through the mountainside, just as Megatron - having broke free from [[Ravage]], arrived. Megatron knew Blackarachnia had the codes to the Golden Disk that would allow them to get by the Ark&#039;s security systems, and he threatened to vape Silverbolt. Bitterly, she agreed to his demands. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blackarachnia used the Ark&#039;s security system to cover Megatron&#039;s back, not sure of what he was planning. Once he fired upon [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], history began to change, wiping out all Maximals...which included herself. Not willing to die for Megatron, she activated [[Teletraan-1]]&#039;s security nets to force Megatron off the ship. With Silverbolt&#039;s help, they got the dying Autobot leader under life support and begun the repairs. The Maximals, recognizing what she had done, reluctantly allowed her to join their ranks. {{storylink|Optimal Situation}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, Blackarachnia took the [[Transmetal driver]] and attempted to use it on herself. Silverbolt, not realizing what she was planning, bailed her out of the contraption. Like every good girlfriend, she began to chew him out, but was cut off as an energy surge made her lose control of her circuts. A security system Tarantulus installed had been triggered by her tampering with her core, and the only way to fix it was to cut the Predacon [[shell program]] loose. Reluctantly, she agreed. An attack on the Maximal base disrupted the attempt, and she was deactivated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Distraught, Silverbolt took off to avenge her death. He easily subdued Tarantulus, and was moments away from executing him when [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]] attacked him. Blackarachnia, with her new and improved Transmetal 2 body, easily fought him off and rescued Silverbolt. {{storylink|Crossing the Rubicon}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;Beast Machines&#039;&#039;====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Voice Actress:&#039;&#039;&#039; [[Venus Terzo]] (US), [[Ryōka Yuzuki]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Beast Machines, Blackarachnia was distraught and confused - she was locked out of her robot mode, back in her original body, all of her allies were gone, Silverbolt had vanished, and she was being attacked by what looked like Cybertronian guards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had a relatively easy time adapting to her new technorganic form, but she was still frustrated by the loss of Silverbolt. When [[Thrust (BM)|Thrust]] saved her life, having strange recollections of doing so before, her mind was set - he was Silverbolt, mutated and made evil by Megatron. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using some of the organic fluid from the Cybertronian core, she trapped Thrust in some of her webs and forced his inner personality out, begging for Silverbolt to answer. The reply was not quite what she was looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Waspinator|&amp;quot;Doggie-bot not home!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Jetstorm]] attacked, he also was caught up in some of her organic goo, and his true personality came out, sweeping Blackarachnia in his arms. Silverbolt returned, but just for a moment. The goo vanished, and their Vehicon minds returned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, Blackarachina managed to force Jetstorm into a large pool of the organic goo, and his body began to change. Scanning a nearby vulture skeleton, he awoke in a new body. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blackarachnia was startled by the change in him. Instead of the lovable chivalrous knight in shining armor, he was a brittle, haunted bot, tormented by the images of the evil deeds he did, and did by choice. Though he gave up on himself, she never did, urging Silverbolt to forgive his past.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Blackarachnia appeared through-out the Beast Wars Metals manga as a Predacon warrior, much as she did in the TV series.  Unlike most characters, however, her design underwent the smallest change.  While most characters got re-designs for laughs, the only change in Blackarachnia would appear that she&#039;s a bit smaller and &amp;quot;cuter&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Blackarachnia&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 1995)&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;D-8&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Blackarachnia&#039;s original toy was a [[redeco]] of the [[Tarantulas]] mold, transforming into a rather generic-looking organic spider. It features a removable spring-loaded launcher hidden in its beast-mode abdomen; it nominally fires the &amp;quot;grappling hook&amp;quot; attached to its abdomen, but its front four beast-mode legs could also be removed and used as missiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Blackarachnia&#039;&#039;&#039; (Happy Meal Transmetal, 1997)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the second McDonalds &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; Happy Meal pack-in, Blackarachnia&#039;s &amp;quot;[[Transmetal]]&amp;quot; form rather resembles some sort of dust mite more than a spider and the robot mode appears to have fallen out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Blackarachnia&#039;&#039;&#039; (Transmetal 2, 1999)&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;C-48&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The Transmetal 2 version of Blackarachnia transforms into a large organic/mechincal monstrous spider, featuring a grappling hook, switching [[Faction symbols|faction symbols]], and a spin-kick action feature. This toy was initially hard to find at retail, as one of the toy&#039;s features, a piece of removable chest armor (no, really), was altered slightly, delaying later shipments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was used to make the [[BotCon 2000]] [[exclusive]] [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Beast Machines===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Blackarachnia&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 2000)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: An early toy in the &#039;&#039;Beast Machines&#039;&#039; line, Blackarachnia transforms into a [[technorganic]] spider. In spider mode, squeezing its pedipalps together raised its central fangs; they were spring-loaded to release and lower, respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was used to make [[Crystal Widow]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Blackarchnia&#039;&#039;&#039; (Happy Meal, 2000)&lt;br /&gt;
: Happy Meal Balckrachnia is a super-simplified version of her retail toy, with a coloration much closer to the [[Mainframe (company)|Mainframe]] CGI model.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Blackwidow&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 2005)&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;BR-04&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the Japanese Toys &#039;R&#039; Us [[exclusive]] &#039;&#039;Beast Wars Returns&#039;&#039; series, this toy is a redeco of the orignial &#039;&#039;Beast Machines&#039;&#039; Blackarachnia in a more show-like maroon coloration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Universe===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Blackarachnia&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 2003)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: For &#039;&#039;[[Universe]]&#039;&#039;, Blackarachnia returned as a [[Decepticon]], and as a redeco of the original &#039;&#039;Beast Machines&#039;&#039; figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was used to make [[Crystal Widow]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Unreleased===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:blackwidowwildrider.jpg|right|thumb|Honda wouldn&#039;t appreciate their car being hot, poisonous, and deadly.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In 2004, a group of test-shots made their way onto ebay, among them a [[redeco]] of the original &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; Tarantulas/Blackarachnia mold in black with silver spider-legs and salmon-colored robot parts. Later, Hasbro&#039;s official website checklist featured listings for two &amp;quot;Halloween Horrorcon Value Packs&amp;quot; that were to be Wal*Mart [[exclusive]]s... which also likely explains why they were cancelled. (Wal*Mart had taken a good half-dozen exclusives and released them more-or-less simultaneously, leading to a huge glut. A lot of other &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; exclusives were cancelled during the &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; era.) One of the sets was &amp;quot;[[Leatherhide]] Vs. Blackarachnia&amp;quot;... and thus, the mystery spider was confirmed, as the other test-shots in that group lined up with the name listings given in the sets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In 2005, the mold used for &#039;&#039;[[Alternators]]&#039;&#039; [[Decepticharge]] was presented as an upcoming release for the Japanese &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; line. Though a bio and story chapter was written to accomodate it into the &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; fiction, it was ultimately dropped when the toy was put on indefinite haitus due to low line sales.  A single Photoshoped promotional image was released of the item.  It has not been revealed as to how the story would have dealt with this time-displaced character addition, and is unliekly to, as &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; author [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] is unlikely to reveal confidential work-for-hire pieces, since he still works for Takara.&lt;br /&gt;

Blackarchnia&#039;s greatest weakness, other than her overconfidence, is her feelings for the Maximal [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]].  Something about his heroic demeanor and the kindness he shows her makes her uneasy.  She hasn&#039;t experienced unconditional love before, and it scares her, though she&#039;ll never admit it.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:TM2 Blackarachnia.jpg|left|thumb|Calender Bot]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Voice Actress:&#039;&#039;&#039; [[Venus Terzo]] (US), [[Ryōka Yuzuki]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blackarachnia was born from one of the [[Maximal]] fallen [[Stasis pod]]s. [[Tarantulus]], watching a black widow fight and devour another spider, was inspired. [[Megatron (BW)]], observing the slim and attractive Blackarachnia transform and strike a few poses, suggested that he had &amp;quot;ulterior motives behind her beast form selection.&amp;quot; But, she was a Predacon, and that was what was important. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blackarachnia made herself reknowned among the ranks of both the Maximals and Predacons as a severe headache to Megatron. When Tarantulus found out about the [[Vok]], he tried to craft a stasis pod escape ship for himself, and she was there to forge a partnership {{storylink|Spider&#039;s Game}}. When [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]] and Blackarachnia journeyed to the island, she was there to shove him out of the way and take control of the island herself, only defeated by [[Tigatron]] {{storylink|The Trigger, Part 1}}. When [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] took control of [[Waspinator]]&#039;s body, she was right next to him when he betrayed Megatron, betraying Starscream &#039;&#039;back&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Possession}}. When Tarantulus forced her to investigate Megatron&#039;s [[Golden Disk]] backups, she waited until Tarantulus was occupied to download and encrypt the recoverable information. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Vok were moments away from returning, Tarantulus and Blackarachnia both again teamed up in an attempt to flee the dying planet. Megatron, already aware of the next move, used their deceptive tendancies against them, and acted unaware of their treachary. As they built their escape ship, he installed his own variant on the design, making it unescapable once sealed and in space. Though it did not destroy either of them, the result was even better; [[Optimus Primal]]. {{storylink|Other Voices, Part 2}} Blackarachnia&#039;s wits saved her, as she convinced Megatron that he would need soldiers, which gave him reason to spare her life. {{storylink|Aftermath}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When an energon blast sent her and Silverbolt into the middle of the dense jungles, they were forced to work together. Blackarachnia, though attracted to him, was endlessly frustrated by his seemingly idiotic chivalry and need to treat her special. Megatron, listening in to their commlink chatter, was disgusted by the obvious romance going on. Blackarachnia, though she held it under a firm charade of bitter irritation, rather liked the treatment and affection. {{storylink|Bad Spark}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron sent Waspinator to the location of the Ark. Blackarachnia, realizing what it meant, abandoned her post and went instead. Silverbolt followed her, and stubbornly refused to leave her alone. Exhausted and in a hurry, she conceded and told him to dig. The two broke through the mountainside, just as Megatron - having broke free from [[Ravage]], arrived. Megatron knew Blackarachnia had the codes to the Golden Disk that would allow them to get by the Ark&#039;s security systems, and he threatened to vape Silverbolt. Bitterly, she agreed to his demands. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blackarachnia used the Ark&#039;s security system to cover Megatron&#039;s back, not sure of what he was planning. Once he fired upon [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], history began to change, wiping out all Maximals...which included herself. Not willing to die for Megatron, she activated [[Teletraan-1]]&#039;s security nets to force Megatron off the ship. With Silverbolt&#039;s help, they got the dying Autobot leader under life support and begun the repairs. The Maximals, recognizing what she had done, reluctantly allowed her to join their ranks. {{storylink|Optimal Situation}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, Blackarachnia took the [[Transmetal driver]] and attempted to use it on herself. Silverbolt, not realizing what she was planning, bailed her out of the contraption. Like every good girlfriend, she began to chew him out, but was cut off as an energy surge made her lose control of her circuts. A security system Tarantulus installed had been triggered by her tampering with her core, and the only way to fix it was to cut the Predacon [[shell program]] loose. Reluctantly, she agreed. An attack on the Maximal base disrupted the attempt, and she was deactivated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Distraught, Silverbolt took off to avenge her death. He easily subdued Tarantulus, and was moments away from executing him when [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]] attacked him. Blackarachnia, with her new and improved Transmetal 2 body, easily fought him off and rescued Silverbolt. {{storylink|Crossing the Rubicon}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;Beast Machines&#039;&#039;====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Voice Actress:&#039;&#039;&#039; [[Venus Terzo]] (US), [[Ryōka Yuzuki]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Beast Machines, Blackarachnia was distraught and confused - she was locked out of her robot mode, back in her original body, all of her allies were gone, Silverbolt had vanished, and she was being attacked by what looked like Cybertronian guards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had a relatively easy time adapting to her new technorganic form, but she was still frustrated by the loss of Silverbolt. When [[Thrust (BM)|Thrust]] saved her life, having strange recollections of doing so before, her mind was set - he was Silverbolt, mutated and made evil by Megatron. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using some of the organic fluid from the Cybertronian core, she trapped Thrust in some of her webs and forced his inner personality out, begging for Silverbolt to answer. The reply was not quite what she was looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Waspinator|&amp;quot;Doggie-bot not home!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Jetstorm]] attacked, he also was caught up in some of her organic goo, and his true personality came out, sweeping Blackarachnia in his arms. Silverbolt returned, but just for a moment. The goo vanished, and their Vehicon minds returned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, Blackarachina managed to force Jetstorm into a large pool of the organic goo, and his body began to change. Scanning a nearby vulture skeleton, he awoke in a new body. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blackarachnia was startled by the change in him. Instead of the lovable chivalrous knight in shining armor, he was a brittle, haunted bot, tormented by the images of the evil deeds he did, and did by choice. Though he gave up on himself, she never did, urging Silverbolt to forgive his past.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Blackarachnia appeared through-out the Beast Wars Metals manga as a Predacon warrior, much as she did in the TV series.  Unlike most characters, however, her design underwent the smallest change.  While most characters got re-designs for laughs, the only change in Blackarachnia would appear that she&#039;s a bit smaller and &amp;quot;cuter&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Blackarachnia&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 1995)&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;D-8&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Blackarachnia&#039;s original toy was a [[redeco]] of the [[Tarantulas]] mold, transforming into a rather generic-looking organic spider. It features a removable spring-loaded launcher hidden in its beast-mode abdomen; it nominally fires the &amp;quot;grappling hook&amp;quot; attached to its abdomen, but its front four beast-mode legs could also be removed and used as missiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Blackarachnia&#039;&#039;&#039; (Happy Meal Transmetal, 1997)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the second McDonalds &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; Happy Meal pack-in, Blackarachnia&#039;s &amp;quot;[[Transmetal]]&amp;quot; form rather resembles some sort of dust mite more than a spider and the robot mode appears to have fallen out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Blackarachnia&#039;&#039;&#039; (Transmetal 2, 1999)&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;C-48&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The Transmetal 2 version of Blackarachnia transforms into a large organic/mechincal monstrous spider, featuring a grappling hook, switching [[Faction symbols|faction symbols]], and a spin-kick action feature. This toy was initially hard to find at retail, as one of the toy&#039;s features, a piece of removable chest armor (no, really), was altered slightly, delaying later shipments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was used to make the [[BotCon 2000]] [[exclusive]] [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Beast Machines===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Blackarachnia&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 2000)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: An early toy in the &#039;&#039;Beast Machines&#039;&#039; line, Blackarachnia transforms into a [[technorganic]] spider. In spider mode, squeezing its pedipalps together raised its central fangs; they were spring-loaded to release and lower, respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was used to make [[Crystal Widow]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Blackarchnia&#039;&#039;&#039; (Happy Meal, 2000)&lt;br /&gt;
: Happy Meal Balckrachnia is a super-simplified version of her retail toy, with a coloration much closer to the [[Mainframe (company)|Mainframe]] CGI model.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Blackwidow&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 2005)&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;BR-04&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the Japanese Toys &#039;R&#039; Us [[exclusive]] &#039;&#039;Beast Wars Returns&#039;&#039; series, this toy is a redeco of the orignial &#039;&#039;Beast Machines&#039;&#039; Blackarachnia in a more show-like maroon coloration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Universe===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Blackarachnia&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 2003)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: For &#039;&#039;[[Universe]]&#039;&#039;, Blackarachnia returned as a [[Decepticon]], and as a redeco of the original &#039;&#039;Beast Machines&#039;&#039; figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was used to make [[Crystal Widow]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:blackwidowwildrider.jpg|right|thumb|Honda wouldn&#039;t appreciate their car being hot, poisonous, and deadly.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In 2004, a group of test-shots made their way onto ebay, among them a [[redeco]] of the original &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; Tarantulas/Blackarachnia mold in black with silver spider-legs and salmon-colored robot parts. Later, Hasbro&#039;s official website checklist featured listings for two &amp;quot;Halloween Horrorcon Value Packs&amp;quot; that were to be Wal*Mart [[exclusive]]s... which also likely explains why they were cancelled. (Wal*Mart had taken a good half-dozen exclusives and released them more-or-less simultaneously, leading to a huge glut. A lot of other &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; exclusives were cancelled during the &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; era.) One of the sets was &amp;quot;[[Leatherhide]] Vs. Blackarachnia&amp;quot;... and thus, the mystery spider was confirmed, as the other test-shots in that group lined up with the name listings given in the sets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In 2005, the mold used for &#039;&#039;[[Alternators]]&#039;&#039; [[Decepticharge]] was presented as an upcoming release for the Japanese &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; line. Though a bio and story chapter was written to accomodate it into the &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; fiction, it was ultimately dropped when the toy was put on indefinite haitus due to low line sales.  A single Photoshoped promotional image was released of the item.  It has not been revealed as to how the story would have dealt with this time-displaced character addition, and is unliekly to, as &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; author [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] is unlikely to reveal confidential work-for-hire pieces, since he still works for Takara.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kaon&#039;&#039;&#039; is a Decepticon-controlled city-state in the southern hemisphere of [[Cybertron_(planet)|Cybertron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Far from the civilized metropolitan titans of the north half of the planet, Kaon was populated by a radical people unsatisfied with the [[Autobot High Council]] and its maintained status quo.  It was here that the industrial creations, the [[smelting pool]]s, were first used to melt down living beings, a practice other city-states found horrible and barbaric.  Disaffected, unruly, and thirsty for blood, Kaon was an obvious breeding ground for [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron&#039;s]] underground [[Decepticon]] movement.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its capital is the fortress city of &#039;&#039;&#039;Kolkular&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

:Kolkular is one of two distiguishable cities molded into the surface of Primus&#039; planet mode, designed specifically to match its appearance in [[Dreamwave]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;The War Within&#039;&#039; comics and DK&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]&#039;&#039;.  In Primus&#039; robot mode, Kolkular ends up on the underside of Primus&#039; heel, which is probably symbolic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The other city is the Autobot city-state [[Iacon]], which, similar to the depiction on the Cybertron map in the &#039;&#039;Ultimate Guide&#039;&#039;, is placed on the opposite end of the toy from Kolkular.   Its placement, however, is likely a coincidence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Airazor is a [[Maximal]] from the [[Beast Era]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Airazorbwcgi.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Don&#039;t tell her to grow a pair, &#039;cuz she can and she will.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Primarily used for recon and surveillance due to her aerial alternate mode, &#039;&#039;&#039;Airazor&#039;s&#039;&#039;&#039; talents are a great asset to the Maximal cause.  She&#039;s calm and confident, but also adventurous and brave, with a healthy supply of dry humor. Her aerial skill in either mode, incredibly sharp eyesight and steady aim make her a dangerous opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to the circumstances of her &amp;quot;birth,&amp;quot; she sees [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] as something of a father-figure and [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] as the sibling she never had.  She devotes most of her efforts, however, to taming the wild yet gentle [[Tigatron]].  She shares his love for the beautiful planet on which the Maximals are stranded, and it is on this planet where their destiny will be forever intertwined. &lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Airazorbwdawn.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Airazor comes on strong.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Predacons who stole the [[Golden Disk]] were pursued by [[Unit 2]], who was granted clerance from [[Maximal Defense Command]] to commandeer transport.  The Maximal who would become Airazor was boarding her ship, the &#039;&#039;[[Chromia 10]]&#039;&#039;, when Unit 2 approached and demanded use of it.  &amp;quot;Airazor&amp;quot; at first refused, but suggested she was open to ... persuasion.  The call of adventure captured her interest, and instead of handing over the &#039;&#039;Chromia 10&#039;&#039; to Unit 2, she allowed him to hitch a ride, piloting it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;Chromia 10&#039;&#039; intercepted the Predacons&#039; ship, the &#039;&#039;[[Darksyde]]&#039;&#039;, which was engaged in battle with the &#039;&#039;[[Axalon]]&#039;&#039; and guarded by a mysterious third ship.  During the ensuing firefight, the &#039;&#039;Chromia 10&#039;&#039; was badly damaged.  [[Optimus Primal]] had their [[Spark]]s remotely uploaded to blank protoforms in the [[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]&#039;s cargohold, which saved their lives, but severely damaged their core mainframes. {{storylink|Dawn of Future&#039;s Past}}&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;(This story is a [[retcon]], as Airazor was originally treated as a newborn protoform in the &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; animated series.  Instead, here she is revealed to have been a Maximal who existed previously on Cybertron but ended up on the &#039;&#039;Axalon&#039;&#039; in a stasis pod, damaged to the point of not remembering any of her past.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Her [[stasis pod]] damaged upon crashing to [[Earth]], Airazor was able to come online due to the genius of [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] and the bravery of [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]].  Rhinox deftly operated the stasis pod&#039;s controls and Cheetor offered up his own components to repair it.  Immediately out of the pod, she outmaneuvered and destroyed [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]]; her aerial beast mode, at the time, made her the only Maximal other than [[Optimus Primal|Optimus]] who could fly. {{storylink|The Spark}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
She and Tigatron started to team up more frequently, a prospect Airazor seemed to welcome, but Tigatron preferred to work alone.  Their first big adventure together came when a flying island paradise was discovered.  The island, however, was covered in boobytraps which were triggered by the use of energy weapons.  Airazor rescued Tigatron when he was ambushed by Predacons on the island, but she was damaged badly.  Tigatron carried her on his back, refusing to leave her behind.  The island was ultimately destroyed, much to the sadness and outrage of Tigatron, and he would have secluded himself from the other Maximals further if not for Airazor&#039;s concern. {{storylink|The Trigger, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon after, the Predacons beat Tigatron to another stasis pod, reprogramming it and unleashing [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]].  Once again, Airazor tried to work with Tigatron, but, once again, he insisted that he works alone.  Airazor commented that sometimes you can be too alone.  She was right, because then Tigatron got shot up a lot.  Nearing death, Tigatron was saved by the arrival of Airazor and Optimus Primal. {{storylink|Spider&#039;s Game}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the realization that the aliens who seeded their planet with traps and energon were returning to destroy it, the Maximals and Predacons entered a truce.  Optimus Primal used Airrazor to try to sneak [[Rattrap]] into the Predacon base to find out what [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] was up to, but Megatron, of course, found them on his scanners and politely asked them to leave.  Unbeknownst to Megatron, the ploy was a decoy for Tigatron&#039;s infiltration.  The aliens arrived and a new alien structure was built, trapping Airrazor, who was tortured.  Optimus Primal forced his way inside, with the help of the Predacons, and traded himself to the aliens for Airazor.  After Primal was scanned and briefed by the aliens, they transformed the planet&#039;s artificial second moon into a [[Planet Buster]], which fired upon the planet, slwoly igniting the unstable energon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Airazoraftermath.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Crazy bird lady!!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the destruction of the [[Vok]]&#039;s Planet Buster, Airazor and Tigatron left together to find the rest of the missing stasis pods scattered across the planet.  While on their search, the two Maximals discovered not only a remarkably beautiful valley, but a strange plant.  As the two looked into each other&#039;s eyes and held hands in quiet celebration, the plant transformed into another [[Vok]] device, and as they clasped hands, declaring their love to exist beyond the throes of death, the two were absorbed and shot into space.  Cheetor arrived, but was too late, loudly protesting the loss of two of his best friends. {{storylink|Other Visits, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Airazor and Tigatron were kept in a form of stasis until near the end of the Beast Wars, when they were merged together in the powerful being [[Tigerhawk]].  Tigerhawk returned to Earth as the emissary of the Vok to stop the deteriation that the Beast Wars was causing to the timestream, his first act being to destroy the [[Darksyde]], sending the Predacons scrambling.  [[Tarantulas]] managed to capture Tigerhawk and removed the Vok&#039;s influence from his frame (and absorbed it into himself), letting Airazor and Tigatron&#039;s [[spark]]s inhabit Tigerhawk&#039;s body.  Tigatron&#039;s voice was dominant, but Tigerhawk&#039;s personality and mannerisms were shared. {{storylink|Other Victories}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly afterward, however, Tigerhawk was killed in a standoff with the &#039;&#039;[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]&#039;&#039; after Megatron retrieved it from the ocean floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;Note&#039;&#039;&#039;: In the Japanese dub of &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039;, Airazor was turned into a boy as a means to (hopefully) increase toy-sales.  For the TV series, his relationship with Tigatron was played off somewhat differently to avoid complaints of homosexuality.  Tigatron was presented as a samurai retainer with protective feelings towards his young ward; their closeness addressed in a &amp;quot;brotherly&amp;quot; sort of way.  Despite that, there was still enough innuendo left-over for the gender-bending to become unsettling. The Japanese script&#039;s near-relentless &amp;quot;jokey&amp;quot; tone didn&#039;t help.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;Tales of the Beast Wars&#039;&#039; comics====&lt;br /&gt;
Somewhere near the end of the first year of the Beast Wars, before the Planet Buster ignited the planet&#039;s energon, Airazor, Rhinox, and Cheetor overheard a battle between [[Fractyl]] and [[Packrat]].  Airazor ended up having to rescue Cheetor, who had darted off ahead of them and gotten blasted.  After the battle was resolved, she and the other Maximals fled, pretending to be beaten by the timid Fractyl to increase his standing in Megatron&#039;s eyes. {{storylink|Critical Mass}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:TransmetalAirazor2.jpg|right|150px|thumb|WINGS UP WINGS DOWN WHO GIVES A CRAP]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though the Beast Wars were over, the threat to the timestream was not.  [[Tarantulas]], presumed destroyed, existed in a new, undead form that was fueled by his new Vok powers.  The remaining Vok assembled warriors to end this threat, creating [[Primal Prime]] and giving new [[Transmetal]] bodies to the extant Sparks of Airrazor and Tigatron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After awakening a stranded stasis pod containing [[Ramulus]], opening a second pod triggered an ambush by [[Spittor]], [[Iguanus (BW)|Iguanus]], [[Razorclaw (BW)|Razorclaw]], and a reborn Transmetal 2 [[Ravage]].  Airazor immediately saved Tigatron&#039;s life, knocking Spittor aside before Tigatron would have unwittingly come in contact with Spittor&#039;s body, covered entirely in [[cyber-venom]].  This maneuver left her vulnerable to Ravage&#039;s gunfire, knocking her out of the air.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The battle ended catastrophically, and Ramulus, Airazor, and Tigatron were forced to carry a critically-wounded Primal Prime back to the [[Ark]] after Tarantulas ripped the [[Matrix of Leadership]] from his chest.  As Airazor and Tigatron conferred with the seemingly absent Vok, Airazor experienced great pains due to her battle wounds.  But before she could explain, the Ark was under attack by Ravage and the Predacons. {{storylink|Primeval Dawn}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;(Due to [[3H Productions]] loss of the convention license, &amp;quot;Primeval Dawn &amp;quot;was never completed.  It is telling, however, that Airazor was not present in the subsequently-placed &amp;quot;[[Universe (comic)|Wreckers]]&amp;quot; storyline.  It is unclear for certain what happened to her in the interim, though it is likely she died.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;(Note: while the Beast Wars Metals manga picks up halfway through the Beast Wars series, it is &#039;&#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039;&#039; in-continuity with the television series.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Beast Wars Metals manga, Airazor was changed into a Transmetal rather than being captured by the [[Vok]] aliens.  In this manga, Airazor is a girl, presumably because her transmetal toy has boobies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Toward the end of the manga, Airazor&#039;s [[spark]] became seperated from her body, with her body becoming host to a malevolent force.  The evil Airazor did battle with [[Tigatron]], who did not want to fight the robot he loved.  With no other option, Tigatron gave the evil Airazor one of his katana and knelt down.  As the evil Airazor struck him with the sword, the &#039;&#039;&#039;real&#039;&#039;&#039; Airazor&#039;s spark entered Tigatron&#039;s body.  In cyber space, the two embraced and vowed never to be apart again.  As their sparks merged, they became [[Tigerhawk]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Airazor&#039;&#039;&#039; (Basic, 1997)&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;C-10&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the first wave of year-two &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; product, Airazor transforms into a somewhat generic falcon (or some other bird of prey).  Unlike first-year Basics, Airazor&#039;s transformation is entirely manual, rather than spring-loaded.  Pulling on feathers near its tail acticavtes a spring-loaded wing-movement gimmick.  Each wing also has a flip-out blade. Its tail hides a non-firing blaster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: For its [[Takara]] release, it was available both as an individual and in an &amp;quot;Aerial Showdown&amp;quot; Vs-pack with [[Insecticon (BW)|Insecticon]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Airazor&#039;&#039;&#039; (Video pack-in, 1997)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The original Airazor toy was given a similar but darker [[redeco]], and packaged with a VHS tape containing the episodes &amp;quot;[[Aftermath]]&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;[[Coming of the Fuzors, Part 1]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}&lt;br /&gt;

: &#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;C-44&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: [[Transmetal]] Airazor transforms into a mechanical falcon, with a third &amp;quot;seaplane&amp;quot; mold with fold-down pontoons. In robot mode, the chromed beast-mode backplate can fold around it for a &amp;quot;shield&amp;quot; mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The Japanese version of this toy is largely identical, but the yellow plastics were replaced with a bright orange.  The &amp;quot;AIRAZOR&amp;quot; tampograph on its chromed shields was also changed to &amp;quot;CYBERTRON&amp;quot; with the Maximal [[faction symbols|faction symbol]].  It was available both as an individual and in a two-pack with [[Quickstrike (BW)|Quickstrike]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was also used to make &#039;&#039;[[Armada]]&#039;&#039; [[Airazor (Armada)|Airazor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Airazor&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe Transmetal, 2000)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: One of the final releases of the normal &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; line, Airazor&#039;s Transmetal toy was given a tweaked deco and relased as part of the so-called &amp;quot;[[Fox Kids Transmetals|Fox Kids]]&amp;quot; assortment of Deluxe Transmetal redecos. Again, its redeco was not as drastic a change from the original as the others in the series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This version of Airazor was made available in Japan as a toy-show [[exclusive]] along with the &amp;quot;Fox Kids&amp;quot; versions of Transmetal [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] and [[Rattrap]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* Airazor&#039;s gender in the [[Hasbro]] line is due to &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; story editors [[Bob Forward]] and [[Larry DiTillio]]&#039;s insistance. The original Airazor toy wasn&#039;t developed with a specific gender in mind, and Bob &amp;amp; Larry wanted a larger female presence in the show, and the Airazor toy seemed as good a choice as any. They requested the change early enough that the toy&#039;s packaging bio could have its pronouns changed to female.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Note the name of Airazor&#039;s ship in [[Dawn of Future&#039;s Past]], the &#039;&#039;[[Chromia 10]]&#039;&#039;.   &amp;quot;C-10&amp;quot; is a reference to her original toy&#039;s Japanese ID number, and not to being &amp;quot;case fresh&amp;quot;... as is obvious from her dialogue.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Tigatron is a [[Maximal]] from the [[Beast Wars]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]]. He was previously designated &#039;&#039;&#039;Unit 2&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Tigatron1.jpg|right|250px|thumb|What&#039;s new pussy cat wooooh woooh woooooh??]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Damage to his stasis pod upon crashing to [[Earth]] caused [[Tigatron]] to emerge far more tiger than robot. A loner who is more connected to the Earth than any other [[Beast Wars|Beast Warrior]], he enjoys the planet&#039;s natural beauty and is often concerned about the damage that the Transformers&#039; battle is doing to it.  Scout, infiltrator, and sometimes programming guru, Tigatron has filled a variety of roles for the Maximals.  &lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Tigatrondawn.jpg|left|thumb|250px|He wasn&#039;t even supposed to be here today!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tigatron was once known as Unit 2, part of the [[Maximal Command Security Force]] which protected the fragile peace that existed on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in the centuries following the [[Pax Cybertronia]].  One of the Security Force&#039;s elite troops, Unit 2 was often put in charge of guarding important Maximal artifacts, a job that often required his amazing prowess at tracking.  Despite his strong command of this environment, Unit 2 wondered if his destiny and place was elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the [[Golden Disk]] was stolen by a band of rogue [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]], Unit 2 responded along with Unit 1, [[Nitrostreak]].  After Nitrostreak was incapacitated, Unit 2 attempted to follow the [[Darksyde]] by commandeering the &#039;&#039;[[Chromia 10]]&#039;&#039;, pursuing, along with [[Airazor (BW)|its pilot]].  During the ensuing firefight, their ship was badly damaged.  [[Optimus Primal]] had their [[Spark]]s remotely uploaded to blank protoforms in the [[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]&#039;s cargohold, which saved their lives, but severely damaged their core mainframes. {{storylink|Dawn of Future&#039;s Past}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;(This story is a [[retcon]], as Tigatron was originally treated as a newborn protoform in the &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; animated series.  Instead, here he is revealed to have been a Maximal who existed previously on Cybertron but ended up on the &#039;&#039;Axalon&#039;&#039; in a stasis pod, damaged to the point of not remembering any of his past.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Voice Actor:&#039;&#039; [[Blu Mankuma]] (US), [[Kōichi Tōchika]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tigatron was born in the far frozen north, at first heavily damaged in his memory circuts and unable to remember friend from foe. In his beast mode, he patiently watched the Predacon and Maximal forces duke it out. When Megatron threatened the white tigers, and Optimus Primal conceded the fight, Tigatron knew his alliance. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He and [[Cheetor]] held a strong sibling friendship. While Cheetor was youthful and eager, Tigatron was confident and wise. Cheetor called him &amp;quot;Big Cat&amp;quot; frequently. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before Airazor, Tigatron had an organic tiger friend named [[Snowstalker]], who may or may not have been the basis for his altmode.  Some fans have speculated that the pair were [[Robot-fleshling romance|more than friends]], as the [[human|dumb stubbies]] say. Sadly, Snowstalker became one of the war&#039;s casualties, putting Tigatron in a funk for a short while, until he realized that doing nothing only meant more innocents would die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After his revival, Tigatron became a background player, sending updates to the [[Axalon]] through communication towers. [[Optimus Primal]] became worried about [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]&#039;s plans when he initiated a truce, so he ordered a covert ops. [[Rattrap]] and [[Airazor]] made enough of a distraction to allow Tigatron inside the [[Darksyde]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside, he tampered with the ship&#039;s computer systems and found out what got Megatron so worried - The [[Vok]] were coming back, and they weren&#039;t happy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tigatron and Airazor formed a very powerful relationship during this time. They both felt a strong connection to the prehistoric [[Earth]], and they frequently spent their time outside of the Maximal base in their beast forms instead. Unfortunately, they were abducted by the alien plant, long before Cheetor could ever arrive. The two were not seen again until much later, when the awesomely powerful [[Vok]] emissary [[Tigerhawk]] arrived.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Primeval Tigatron.jpg|thumb|right|Hello, kitty!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tigatron and Airazor&#039;s sparks were sent back to Earth by the [[Vok]] sometime after [[Tigerhawk]]&#039;s destruction. Tigatron&#039;s spark took possesion of [[Ravage]]&#039;s former body at the bottom of a lake. Joining Transmetal Airazor and a newly-created [[Primal Prime]], Tigatron battled [[Tarantulas]] and Ravage, who had also managed to escape death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;Note&#039;&#039;&#039;: The &#039;&#039;Primeval Dawn&#039;&#039; story was never finished, so how Tigatron came to join the [[Wreckers]] (see below) is unknown.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====&#039;&#039;The Wreckers&#039;&#039;=====&lt;br /&gt;
Tigatron, Primal Prime, and others arrived on Cybertron during Megatron&#039;s anti-biological reign. Various teams met with the [[Oracle]], which assigned them various tasks. When Optimus Primal objected, saying that with all these soldiers, Megatron could be defeated easily, the Oracle swept him away and cleansed his memory of the recent events. Tigatron vehemently objected to this treatment of his former commander. A set of coordinates was infused into Primal Prime&#039;s head by the Oracle. When arriving at an Autobot shuttle, which was to ferry the Wreckers to those coordinates, Tigatron felt that something was amiss. It was then that the Vehicon generals [[Spy Streak]], [[Scavenger_(BM)|Scavenger]], [[Quake]] and [[Blastcharge (BM)|Blastcharge]] attacked. Tigatron used his Nature&#039;s Fury attack, utterly destroying Quake. During the ride in the Autobot shuttle, Tigatron meditated, recovering from the battle. Upon arrived at their destination, he once again sensed that danger awaited the Wreckers...&lt;br /&gt;

In the Beast Wars Metals manga, Tigatron was interpretted as a samurai warrior and given a character re-design to reflect that angle. At one point, he is forced to do battle with the [[spark|spark]]-less body of his beloved [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]]. Not wishing to harm her, he willingly let the evil Airazor take the opportunity to decapitate him.&lt;br /&gt;

Just as evil Airazor began to strike, the spark of the real Airazor entered his body. In cyberspace, the two embrace eacher other and vow never to be apart again. Their sparks then merge, resulting in the all-powerful [[Tigerhawk]].&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Tigatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 1996/1997)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold is a [[redeco]] of the original [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] in cream, silver, and green, transforming into a fairly generic big cat in shape. His robot-mode parts color layout is notably different from Cheetor&#039;s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Later, [[Takara]] released him in a more [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] bright white fur with the copied-from-Cheetor color layouts. He was available both individually and in a two-pack with the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Blackarachnia]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Tigatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (Transmetal Botcon 2001 exclusive)&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold is a redeco of &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars Metals]]&#039;&#039; [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]], which is a [[retool]] of transmetal [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]]. He transforms into a mechanical cat with flip-out thruster-wings. His robot-mode arms have spring-loaded flip-out blaster grips, which also have barrel extensions that can be clipped to his legs in beast mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Unit 2 (Tigatron)&#039;&#039;&#039; (2006)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: A retooling of the &#039;&#039;[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; [[Clocker (Cybertron)|Clocker]] toy using Cheetor&#039;s new headsculpt, &amp;quot;Unit 2&amp;quot; transforms into an open-topped Cybertronic sports car. his rear engine assembly reveals a pair of spring-loaded flip-out guns when a [[Cyber Planet Key]]/[[Golden Disc Key]] is placed in it. This assembly becomes a hand-held blaster in robot mode., His side-pipes can also be removed and used as hand-weapons. He came with a bio card and a pale-gray Golden Disc Key with a Maximal sigil on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was also used to make [[Swerve (Cybertron)|Swerve]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* The origianl version of Tigatron shown at Toy Fair in 1996 gave him orange fur instead of cream-colored. This version was never produced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*In the Japanese dub of Beast Wars, for the sake of humor, Tigatron was played as a &amp;quot;samurai&amp;quot; ronin.  Additionally, since Airazor was made male in the Japanese dub, instead of their relationship being romantic, Airazor was presented as Tigatron&#039;s ward whom he looked to as a &amp;quot;brother&amp;quot; (hence the close bond).&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinobot&#039;&#039;&#039; is a Predacon ruled by honor.  He lives to die gloriously in battle.  When he aided [[Megatron_(BW)|Megatron]] in the theft of the [[Golden Disc]] under the order of [[Cryotek]], Dinobot believed he was in the pursuit of endless glory.  But when he and his Predacon peers crashed on a mysterious planet alongside a Maximal exploration vessel, his desire to be on the winning side turned him to the Maximal team.  At first he feared his growing sense of right and wrong would clash with the demands of his Predacon heritage -- but perhaps they are not mutually exclusive after all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

===&#039;&#039;Timelines: Dawn of Future&#039;s Past&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
===Beast Wars===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Voice Actor:&#039;&#039; [[Scott McNeil]] (US), [[Keiji Fujiwara]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:BWDinobot_arrival.jpg|left|thumb|Feathers are for those Jurassic Park 3 losers]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Immediately after crash landing on [[Earth]], Dinobot turned on Megatron, claiming the Predacon commander had led them to the wrong planet.  Unfazed by Dinobot&#039;s tirade, Megatron had [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]] blast him, and left him for dead.  Dinobot &lt;br /&gt;
left the Predacons and laid in wait for the Maximals to return to their base.  Challenging [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus]] to a duel, Dinobot was determined to lead one faction or another and gain the glory he desperately sought. {{storylink|Beast Wars, Part 1}} During the duel, Dinobot displayed a rare amount of honor, fair play, and self sacrifice and won the respect of Optimus, who asked him to join the Maximals.  This didn&#039;t sit well with the other Maximals, particularly [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], but as the series went on the two became a strange sort of friends. {{storylink|Beast Wars, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:2char8.jpg |thumb|right|&amp;quot;When reality alters, the [[Generation 1|future]] alters with it! With the Golden Disk, Michael Bay&#039;s power is limitless!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a Maximal, Dinobot still displayed strong Predacon tendancies.  He was usually more willing to go to the extreme in terms of tactics, use whatever weapons the Maximals had, and often advocated kicking the Predacons when they were down.  He also proved to be fairly introspective, and did not miss the gravity of his own situation should the Maximals ever win the Beast Wars. {{storylink|Victory (Beast Wars episode)|Victory}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the destruction of the [[Planet Buster]], and it became obvious that they were on Earth, Dinobot had a few crises of character.  His honor and growing sense of doing the right thing were coming into direct conflict with his desires to be on the winning side and gain eternal glory.  He broke into the Predacon [[Darkside|base]] and stole the golden disks from Megatron, hiding the one from Cybertron and taking the [[Vok|Alien]] disk back to the [[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]].  Hiding the theft from his Maximal comrades, Dinobot agonized over the contents of the disk from Cybertron.  He knew that the knowledge on the disk would make Megatron powerful enough to win the Beast Wars, and rewrite history.  After this revelation, Dinobot&#039;s desire for victory and glory got the better of him and he rejoined the Predacons and gave Megatron the disk back.  However, his friendship with Rattrap proved to be too strong, he couldn&#039;t eliminate the &amp;quot;vermin&amp;quot;, and he once again turned on Megatron and rejoined the Maximals. {{storylink|Maximal, No More}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:BWDinobot_decision.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Dying with honor requires a picturesque sunset and opportune posing.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dinobot was lost.  Had he fumbled his chance at being a great warrior?  After contemplating suicide and getting berated by a hurt Rattrap for his betrayal, Dinobot set out to find Megatron and set things right.  However, Megatron had led the Predacons to the valley occupied by the proto-humans, intending to wipe them out and change history.  [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] saw the imminent attack and radioed for help before he was forced to head back to base for repairs.  Dinobot responed to the call and took on all of the Predacons by himself.  Ignoring the damage he took, the warnings of his own internal computer, and the danger to himself, Dinobot defeated all of the Predacons save Megatron.  Mocking the weakened Dinobot, Megatron tallied the score firmly in his own favor.  He had unimaginable power(i.e. the Golden Disk ), the valley was in ruins, and he had hostages.  Refusing to quit, Dinobot improvised (with a wood and rock hammer), snatched the disk from Megatron, and with the last of his power, shattered it with his eye beams.  The effort cost him, and a short time after the rest of the Maximals arrived, Dinobot&#039;s spark left his frame. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Dinbot_funeral.jpg|right|thumb|Legends don&#039;t die, they just fade away.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dinobot was given a hero&#039;s funeral, with his body being recycled with full honours while the Maximal fliers flew past, as a sign of respect for his Predacon heritage. {{storylink|Code of Hero}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A year later, Megatron, in all his insane genius, [[Dinobot 2|cloned]] him. {{storylink|Feral Scream, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;

==Toys==&lt;br /&gt;
===Beast Wars===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinobot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 1996/1997)&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;C-4&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;VS-4&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; product, Dinobot transforms into something kinda resembling an organic Utahraptor.  His tail detaches and separates to form a gear-powered spinning-blade weapon, while the central &amp;quot;tailbone&amp;quot; separates to be used as a sword.  The entire assembly can store in robot mode by flipping down the tail-mount and pegging the blade&#039;s base to the peg on his lower back.  Like all early Deluxe-and-up &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; toys, he has a &amp;quot;mutant mask&amp;quot;, halves of a dino-skull that flip up to cover his more robotic head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The original Dinobots shipped on cards with &amp;quot;rocky&amp;quot;-shaped bubbles.  Later (and more numerous) assortments moved to a smooth, rounded bubble, leading the first packaging type to become siught-after collectables on the secondary market.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In Japan, Dinobot was available both individually and in a &amp;quot;Vs&amp;quot; set with [[Tarantulas]].  This version was identical to the [[Hasbro]] version. In January 1997, Takara [[redeco]]ed many of the &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; toys and re-released them in slightly more show-like tones; Dinobot actually got &#039;&#039;less&#039;&#039; tan to his dino-skin (moving further from the show model), and his helmet was painted in metallic gold. It is unknown if this version was also sold in a Vs set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was used to make... lots of guys.  [[Dinotron]], &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], &#039;&#039;[[Dinobots (toyline)|Dinobots]]&#039;&#039; [[Grimlock (Dinobots)|Grimlock]], &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars Neo]]&#039;&#039; [[Hardhead (BWN)|Hardhead]], and [[Thrust (BWII)|Thrustor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinobot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Happy Meal Transmetal, 1998)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the second McDonald&#039;s &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; Happy Meal promotion, [[Transmetal]] Dinobot transforms into a metal velociraptor.  his molding looks more liek a Transmetal 2 than a normal Transmetal&#039;s, though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinobot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Tenth Anniversary, 2006)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:BW10Dinobot_toy.jpg|left|thumb|That crazy Utahraptor!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This release is a redeco of the original Dinobot toy, though its &amp;quot;show-accuracy&amp;quot; is questionable at best.  It came with the left arm to the &amp;quot;build-a-bot&amp;quot; figure [[Trans-Mutate]], plus a DVD containing the obvious Dinobot episode, &amp;quot;[[Code of Hero]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

===Timelines===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Darksyde Dinobot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Dawn of Futures Past multi-pack, 2006)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Botcon2006Dinobot_toy.jpg|right|thumb|Can ya dig it?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the five-toy [[BotCon 2006]] [[exclusive]] boxed set (along with [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]], [[Optimus Primal]], [[Rattrap]] and [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]]), &amp;quot;Darksyde Dinobot&amp;quot; is a redeco of the &#039;&#039;[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; [[Longrack (Cybertron)|Longrack]] mold, itself a [[retool]] of &#039;&#039;[[Armada]]&#039;&#039; [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Hoist]].  Dinobot uses almost all of Longrack&#039;s new-mold parts save for the head; Hoist&#039;s was a dead ringer for Dinobot in the first place.  He transforms into a Cybertronic excavator.  Inserting a [[Cyber Key]] or [[Golden Disk Key]] into his shoulder assembly unlocks a shovel-punch attack activated by pressing on the plunger mechanism above the key port.  Like Longrack, he does &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; come with a [[Mini-Con]] partner (dammit).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The original version of this mold was also used to make &#039;&#039;[[Universe]]&#039;&#039; [[Ransack (Universe)|Ransack]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Merchandise==&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinobot mini bust&#039;&#039;&#039; (2006)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In 2006, First 4 Figures released a seven-inch tall mini-bust of Dinobot, featuring his upper torso mounted upon a Maximal pedestal. He was sculpted by Ryan Bailey and is limited to 1,996 pieces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:BWRConcept04.jpg|right|thumb|Dinobot&#039;s control art.  The beast head displays a more rigid grill structure.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* It&#039;s been rumored that Dinobot&#039;s first toy borrowed some molding from an unproduced [[Kenner]] &#039;&#039;Jurassic Park&#039;&#039; dino.  There&#039;s no evidence at all to support this, however, and is incredibly unlikely to begin with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[Timelines]] &amp;quot;Darksyde Dinobot&amp;quot; color scheme is actually based on his Tenth Anniversary toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some fans humorously refer to Dinobot&#039;s spinning blade weapon as a &amp;quot;Rotate Blade&amp;quot;. However, both the full-length version of the first &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; toy commercial and a later commercial (starring Dinobot, Waspinator and Tarantulas) refer to the weapon as being his &amp;quot;spinning Veloci-Rotor blades&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Dinobot was second under Megatron before rebelling....probably because he was the only one who knew one end of a blaster from the other&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{disambig2|the Generation 1 Decepticon|the Energon Terrorcon|Battle Ravage (Energon)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Ravage is a [[Decepticon]] and [[Predacon]] in the [[Generation 1]] and [[Beast Era]] [[continuity family|continuity families]].  He is a chronic time-traveler.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Ravageboxart.jpg|right|thumb|350px|This is  [[Ravage#Trivia|every comic book panel]] Ravage has ever been in.  Well, okay, sometimes they rotate him a bit.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No Decepticon has a stronger loyalty to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] than &#039;&#039;&#039;Ravage&#039;&#039;&#039;.  Ravage believes unwaveringly in the Decepticon cause, and Megatron embodies that cause.  To serve Megatron, Ravage has become the most efficient and deadly war machine under his command.  He hides himself in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike with grim accuracy.  His name is synonymous with stealth.  His survivors are few.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ravage&#039;s only weakness is bright light, which can temporarily blind him.  Perhaps his absolute loyalty to Megatron can blind him as well.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
According to the UK book [[Dinobot War]], Ravage&#039;s cassette tape mode is disguised as the soundtrack to &#039;&#039;[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cats_(musical) Cats].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;Ravage was loyal bodyguard for the Overlords, the Autobots that once ruled all of Cybertron, for Generations.  He witnessed as their planet-wide rule crumbled into a loose collection of feuding city-states.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;During the Vos-Tarn war, Ravage, his partner [[Nightstalker]], Megatron and Optimus Prime.&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;While escorting the last Overlord, an enfeebled mechanoid who required constant re-energization to survive, out of the city of Tarn during the Vos-Tarn war, they were pinned down. Though the Overlord was near death, Ravage refused to give the Overlord any of his energy, instead allying himself with Megatron, whom he believed would be the future ruler of Cybertron.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;As for Nightstalker, he blew himself up in order to take out the forces that pinned them down, proving just how gullibly loyal Autobots could be. Ironic how Ravage would make that same sacrifice for &#039;&#039;his&#039;&#039; leader millions of years later.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
One of the original team of Decepticons that accompanied [[Megatron]] on the attack of the &#039;&#039;[[Ark]]&#039;&#039; spacecraft, Ravage was reformatted by [[Teletraan-1]] as an audiocassette to better blend in for operations based on Earth. Ravage served loyally as a Decepticon spy. He was one of the first Transformers to have been encountered by a human, as workers investigating a destroyed power station fell afoul of Ravage who pounced upon them and frightened them away. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly thereafter, Ravage accompanied Soundwave on an infiltration mission to gather data from Teletraan 1. Though Soundwave was discovered, Ravage was captured in an energy net and held captive. The Decepticon spy figured into a disinformation plot hatched by the Autobots, who purposely leaked the presence of a rocket fuel depository in the outlying desert. In truth, there was no rocket base -- Autobot [[Hound]] projected a holographic illusion in the hopes of luring the Decepticons into a trap. The Autobots allowed Ravage to escape and report back to Megatron, who easily saw through the ruse.&lt;br /&gt;

Although he never shows up in the comic, he is mentioned as being recruited along with fellow [[Mini-Cassette]]s [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] and [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]] by the Predacon [[Divebomb]], but for some reason left them soon afterwards to become an operative for the Tripredacus Council.&lt;br /&gt;

:He looks like a Maximal, but he is really a Predacon. His thirst for the hunt can only be satiated by attacking many Maximals. Keep an eye on the darkness, for that is where Shadow Panther lives.&lt;br /&gt;

:The process of becoming a Predacon has cost Ravage some of his early Decepticon memories. His ability to become invisible is called Reflect Shade. His orders are to rid the planet [[Earth#Beast Wars|Energois]] of Transformers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Tripredacus Agent&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:This lone assassin may look like a Maximal, but his irradiated spark is that of a Predacon. He was saved (and presumably rebuilt into a Transmetal 2) by the Vok. He can hide his energy signature, thanks to his unusual spark. In his history as a Predacon, he has adopted many names to better suit his covert line of work. His weapon is a low-radiation proton bomb launcher. As he loves the dark, the light is his weakness.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Ravage is one of the few Decepticon warriors who was granted amnesty at the end of the Great War and reformatted into a Predacon.  He was sent by the [[Tripredacus Council]] to capture [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], clean up any messes he might have made, and deal with the rest of the beast warriors. Ravage made the trip to prehistoric Earth in a specially modified stealth [[Transwarp Cruiser]]. He successfully contacted the [[Maximal]]s and allied with them to capture Megatron. Due to the stealth capabilities of his ship, and the fact that [[Tarantulas]] was also an agent of the council, Ravage and the Maximals easily captured Megatron and imprisoned him. {{Storylink|The Agenda, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron, however, had one more card to play. He knew that Ravage wasn&#039;t going to let any of the Beast warriors live, and also knew he had the one thing that would turn Ravage to his side. Using a fragment from the [[Golden Disk]], Megatron played Ravage the message on it from the original [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. Ravage, still driven by loyalty to &#039;&#039;his&#039;&#039; Megatron, joined the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] and turned on the Maximals. {{Storylink|The Agenda, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His latest treachery was short lived. During the assault on the [[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]], [[Rattrap]] infiltrated his ship and caused an explosion that destroyed the vessel and Ravage himself. His head, seemingly all that remained of him, was knocked into the water below the Axalaon by one of Tarantulas&#039; [[spider-drone]]s. {{Storylink|The Agenda, Part 3}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Magmatron recovered Ravage&#039;s heavily-damaged torso, which still contained his spark. He then inserted the spark into a blank [[protoform]], and Ravage was reborn. In his Transmetal 2 body, he and his fellow Predacons, under the command of Magmatron, sought out [[Razorbeast]]&#039;s band of Maximals. Viewing from a safe distance, Ravage ordered his soldiers to engage. Additional Maximal forced arrived, however, and Ravage&#039;s forces were defeated. Ravage retreated into the wilderness. {{storylink|The Gathering}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(&#039;&#039;Despite being a continuity that borrows heavily from other G1 continuities, where it is suggested that Ravage is completely loyal to Megatron, before attempting to revive Ravage, Magmatron suggests that Ravage&#039;s most important loyalty is to Ravage himself.  This could simply be Magmatron&#039;s opinion, however, and is not necessarily indicative of Ravage&#039;s true loyalties.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Ravage never uses his robot mode in this story. Instead, he stands up on his hind legs in beast mode.&#039;&#039;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;Primeval Dawn&#039;&#039; comics====&lt;br /&gt;
An undead [[Vok]]-infested [[Tarantulas]] revived Ravage (in his Tripredacus Agent TM2 body) to help boost his forces. The remnants of Ravage&#039;s previous body were recycled by the Vok to re-create [[Tigatron]]. {{storylink|Universe (comic)|Primeval Dawn}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Ravage&#039;s part in the Binaltech storyline is a bit more complicated than past incarnations. Several years prior to the line&#039;s continuity, government-run [[Intelligence and Information Institute]] (or Triple I) unearths a msyterious black box during an archaeological dig. After years of probing, the container, dubbed &amp;quot;Schrödinger&#039;s Box&amp;quot; by the group&#039;s scientists, was revealed to be the flight recorder of Predacon Ravage&#039;s stealth ship, containing a copy of the feline&#039;s personality and memory engrams. When the scientists found a way to communicate with this personality, it offered them its knowledge of future events in exchange for a new body. Triple-I agreed, and used a fake Binaltech project to provide their part of the bargain. However, to truly bring the new Ravage to life, Triple-I stole the present-day Ravage - who had been somehow captured by the [[Earth Defense Command]] and stasis-locked into his cassette mode - and implanted him into the new Ravage, thereby &#039;fusing&#039; the old and new Ravages into one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This new Ravage, however, had no intention of fulfilling his end of the bargain and, after eliminating his benefactors and learning to his shock that history did &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; change in his faction&#039;s favor, decided to rectify his mistake. First on his agenda was his former commander, Megatron; stealing an Autobot shuttle, he located and repaired the [[Kronosphere]] and - during a decisive battle between Megatron&#039;s and Optimus Prime&#039;s forces that would have normally ended with the Autobots being forced off of Cybertron and into their moon bases - turned the weapon on his own faction, trapping Megatron and his crew in a space-time rift. This alteration in the timeline served two purposes: first, it would give the Autobots the chance to retake Cybertron, which would then lead to them having to face off against the oncoming [[Unicron]] alone, severely weakening them in the process. The second, and more important, purpose was to keep Megatron alive and in good health, thus preventing him from becoming the insane [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], and allowing him to lead the Decepticons to victory over the battle-weary Autobots. Ravage also reformatted [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] into a new Binaltech body of his own, so he could lead the remaining Decepticons in Megatron&#039;s absence, and secretly drailed many of the Autobots&#039; supply missions, further weakening them for their battle with the Chaos Bringer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately for him, the Autobot named [[Overdrive]] became aware of Ravage&#039;s meddling in history, thanks to his acute sensitivity of the timestream, and - with the help of [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] - captured the wayward Decepticon and forced a confession out of him. Ravage, however, was not without a trump card, revealing that his alterations &#039;&#039;may&#039;&#039; prevent the deaths of many of the Autobots destined to die in the normal timeline (which, as a distinction between the two, was dubbed &#039;Prime Time&#039; by Wheeljack, Ravage&#039;s altered timeline being called &#039;Ravage Time&#039;), though in the grand scheme of things, only Optimus could not be considered expendable, as he contained the one thing that could bring down Unicron (the [[Autobot]] [[Matrix of Leadership]]). By the time of his capture, however, Unicron had already been sighted on a collision course with Cybertron and, despite the temptation of preventing future deaths among his ranks, Optimus decided Ravage&#039;s plans to be too dangerous to allow to come to fruitition. To that end, he ropes [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] into helping him fly to Unicron in a preemptive strike against the monstrous threat, while the other Autobots (left in the command of [[Skids (G1)|Skids]]), were to initiate &amp;quot;Operation: Distant Thunder&amp;quot;, which involved sending a copy of Wheeljack&#039;s memories of what Ravage confessed to them, back in time to a point prior to the Decepticon panther&#039;s meddling, via the energies located on [[Dinobot Island]]. If &amp;quot;Operation: Distant Thunder&amp;quot; worked as planned, Ravage&#039;s plans would be foiled, and any tremors in the timeline he caused would be smoothed over by &amp;quot;Project Body Shop&amp;quot; (aka, the Binaltech project). However, just as Skids gives the signal to transmit the memory engrams, the Autobot base is rocked by an entire fleet of Decepticons. It is unknown as of now if &amp;quot;Operation: Distant Thunder&amp;quot; succeeded or not, or what Ravage&#039;s fate will be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Beast Wars Metals&#039;&#039; manga===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;(Note: although it picks up after the first season, the Beast Wars Metals manga is &#039;&#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039;&#039; in-continuity with the television series.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the &#039;&#039;Beast Wars Metals&#039;&#039; manga, Metals Jaguar was portrayed as G1 Jaguar&#039;s  homicidal son, with Jaguar taking the design of the Happy Meal Panther toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kids Stuff Read-Along book===&lt;br /&gt;
Ravage immediately recognized what a hydro electric station was, a method of generating power used on Cybertron &amp;quot;way way back in the mists of time,&amp;quot; when Transformers were not much more advanced in science than humans are now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This suggests that Ravage is among the oldest of the Decepticons (even Megatron only feigned familiarity with this form of technology), or that he&#039;s a serious student of ancient energy generation techniques.&lt;br /&gt;

His tail/flanks separate to form a non-firing blaster, while his underbelly forms a water-shooting &amp;quot;gut gun&amp;quot; that can be used in either mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Much later, this toy was offered through Hasbro&#039;s online collector service under the name &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Tripredacus Agent&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;, with an online bio indicating he was the same character as Ravage (then called &amp;quot;Tripredacus Agent&amp;quot; due to [[trademark]] isuues).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Beast Wars Metals&#039;&#039; Jaguar is a heavy [[retool]]ing of [[Transmetal]] Cheetor, just as Ravage&#039;s CG model in the show is an altered Transmetal Cheetor.  He transforms into a robotic big cat, with flip-out thrusters for a third &amp;quot;flight&amp;quot; mode.  His forearms each have a spring-loaded flip out pistol stub, which can be extended with add-on barrels that clip to his rear legs in beast mode.  his tal also can detach to forma whip-weapon, but he doesn&#039;t hold it very well.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: This Wal-Mart [[exclusive]] is a redeco of --wait, can you guess?-- Transmetal 2 Cheetor, in black, silver, and gold, transforming into a monstrous techno-organic (but not [[technorganic]]) big cat.  He has a spring-loaded missile launcher on his cat-mode back that can be removed and used as a hand-held weapon, plus his tail detaches to forma hand-held flail.  His left forearm has a flip-up blaster-shield (of dubious usefulness), while flipping up a panel on his right-rear leg reveals his [[spark crystal]].&lt;br /&gt;

Each robot-mode forearm contains slide-out (non-firing) double blasters.&lt;br /&gt;

: The second version of &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; Ravage transforms into a 1:24-scale licensed Jaguar XK (appropriately enough), with all the normal bells and whistles inherant in the line (opening doors, seats, etc).  This is a toy of many &amp;quot;firsts&amp;quot;... not only is he the first &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; character with two distinctly-different toys, he&#039;s the first Decepticon Alternator with a original mold (well, alongside [[Rumble]], but still), &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; the first &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; character to have a non-humanoid &amp;quot;robot&amp;quot; mode, as his non-car form is now a quadrupedal big cat.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Coming packaged at random on carded &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; toys during 1986, this is a soft-rubber version of Ravage in his jaguar mode.  He --like all Decepticon [[Decoy]]s-- was available in both purple and red, with the red version being considerably rarer.  These are not erasers!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* Ravage&#039;s original packaging art is by far the most-copied depiction of any Transformer.  It was, of course, adapted for his &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Universe (Marvel Comics)|Transformers Universe]]&#039;&#039; profile [http://www.ntfa.net/universe/english/index.php?act=view&amp;amp;char=Ravage], but was also used (twice) in 1985&#039;s &amp;quot;back-of-the-box&amp;quot; battle scene [http://www.botchthecrab.com/galleryImage.asp?gallery=7&amp;amp;image=33], was copied in licensed coloring books and storybooks, and the pose also showed up repeatedly in the Marvel Comics.   In &amp;quot;[[Time Wars, Part 2]]&amp;quot; (Marvel UK #200), artist [[Robin Smith]] copied the art multiple times across several subsequent panels.  Yikes.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;:&#039;&#039;Jazz is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.  He is also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Meister&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Jazzg1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Eat floor, dig?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Jazz&#039;&#039;&#039; is [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s right-hand man.  Unlike [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], Prime&#039;s military strategist, Jazz responds well to change and improvisation.  Whatever surprises the Decepticons spring, Jazz can deal.  His position as Special Operations Officer calls for all the skills he possesses, yet he still has time to add some style into everything he does.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An admirer of Earth music of every kind, Jazz loves culture.  More than most other Autobots, he has his finger on the pulse of Earth trends and lingo.  Chances are, Jazz could tell you the status of almost any reality television show and each week&#039;s Top 40 list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz&#039;s personality makes him well-liked among the others of the Ark, especially [[Bumblebee]].  In fact, there is not one Autobot who &#039;&#039;doesn&#039;t&#039;&#039; like or admire Jazz.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Preliminary name:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Jazzz&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Japanese name: &#039;&#039;&#039;Meister&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;French-Canadian name: &#039;&#039;&#039;Saxo&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Marvel Comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
====Generation 1====&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;(Events from UK-only stories are in italics.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Jazzg1marvelfirst.jpg|left|thumb|100px|Hey, Prowl, you suck.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz was one of the Autobots who crashed on [[Earth]] four million years ago, waking up in 1984.  Jazz showed an affinity with human pop culture almost immediately, responding to [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]&#039;s non sequitur assertion that his &amp;quot;logic center dictates the most advantageous course of action in any situation&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;Well, that is neat-o, Prowl.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz&#039;s first foray into action came when the [[Decepticon]]s attacked him and his fellow Autobots at [[Witwicky Auto Repairs]], resulting in the kidnapping of [[Sparkplug Witwicky]].  Later, when Sparkplug was rescued and it was learned that the auto repairman had devised a way for the Decepticons to convert [[Earth]] fuel into a usable resource, the Autobots were enraged.  Jazz shot a stream of fire to prevent Sparkplug&#039;s escape, causing the [[human]] to suffer a heart attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It was discovered that after the Autobots crash landed on Earth, a rescue ship was sent after them which was buried somewhere in England.  The [[Man of Iron]], one of its crew, had awakened a number of times in England&#039;s history, and had become a local legend.  Jazz, along with [[Trailbreaker]], [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], and [[Bluestreak]], were dispatched to England under [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s supervision.  Jazz befriended (and kidnapped) a young boy, [[Tommy Harker]], whose dad worked at the castle where the Autobot rescue ship had been partially unearthed.  After questioning the boy, it became apparent that the rescue ship must be destroyed.  At the climax of a battle with the Decepticons over the buried ship, Jazz fired his weaponry down into it, and it was pulverized.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Generation 2====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Animated continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice Actor:&#039;&#039; [[Scatman Crothers]], &#039;&#039;[[Wally Burr]]&#039;&#039; (US), [[Kōki Kataoka]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:cybertronjazz.jpg|thumb|Spoiler alert. Haw!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blacker than the inside of a drive shaft -- uh, that&#039;s how Jazz described the north side of Cybertron. The slang-talking operations specialist was on a recon mission to ascertain Cybertron&#039;s bleak energy reserves, and his reports are what prompted the Autobot mission to search for new sources of energy outside of their home world. Jazz served as pilot for the &#039;&#039;[[Ark]]&#039;&#039; until severe asteroid turbulence knocked him from his seat. The Decepticons took advantage of the confusion and attacked, and both vessels and parties crash-landed on Earth. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four million years later, in 1984, the Autobots and Decepticons awoke reformatted to fit in on the planet. Jazz traded in his sleek Cybertronian form for an even sleeker Porsche 935 Turbo. As a lieutenant to [[Optimus Prime]] Jazz was tasked to assemble task forces and special mission teams to counter the Decepticon threat. Jazz accompanied the first mission to an off-shore oil rig, where his wrist-mounted winch and grappling hook came in handy saving Optimus Prime. He used the same line to stop Prime from riding the rapids at [[Sherman Dam]], and to pull [[Bluestreak]] and [[Ironhide]] from an unscheduled lake swim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Jazz is one of the main characters in the series up to season three, only making a few cameos with no lines.  This is because [[Scatman Crothers]] died not long after the movie finished production.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout season one, Jazz is seen giving orders and accompanying [[Optimus Prime]] on almost any mission they undertake.  In season two, Jazz actually uses his light and sound show attack on at least two occasions.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave comic continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
8.2 million years ago, Jazz and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] met [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] in the remains of [[Praxus]]&#039; [[Helix Gardens]] to discuss the worthiness of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optronix]] to lead the Autobots.  Jazz later attended the [[Matrix]]-transfer ceremony at the [[Chamber of the Ancients]]; he attempted to save Optronix - now Optimus Prime - when he was attacked by [[Decepticons]], but was restrained by Grimlock.  When Prime defeated the assassins, Jazz was convinced of his worth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon afterwards, Jazz questioned Prowl&#039;s decision to allow Prime to explore the depths of the planet alone, but was prevented from pressing the issue any further when [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] attacked [[Iacon]] with an army of Decepticons.  Jazz helped direct the battle from the [[Decagon]], but the defenders were soon overwhelmed.  Jazz was forced to begin evacuating important artifacts and hardware from the city, but was unable to finish before the Decepticons overran the Decagon.  He and a handful of Autobots made a desperate last stand, but were saved from extinction when [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] activated the planetary engines, devastating the city and forcing Shockwave&#039;s army to retreat.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7.4 million years ago, Jazz witnessed the [[space bridge]] explosion that seemingly killed Prime and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]].  After the subsequent fragmentation of the Autobot faction, Jazz remained with the Prowl-led Autobots.  He accompanied a group of Autobots to investigate a [[Trypticon (G1)|new mobile battle base]] at the [[Praetorus Wharf]], only to learn that the base was fully operational.  Despite the arrival of reinforcements, the titan was too much for Jazz and his cohorts; only when Shockwave recalled Trypticon to the [[Neutral Territories]] were they saved them from certain doom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Battered, Jazz and the others limped back to Iacon, only to be forced to repel an attack on [[Autobase]] by [[The Fallen]].  Although Jazz, [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], and [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] fought valiantly, the mysterious entity defeated them and archived his objective: freeing [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] from captivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz was among the crew of the &#039;&#039;[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]&#039;&#039; when it crashed on [[Earth]], and awoke in 1984 to battle the Decepticons.  After years of fighting, Jazz and the other Autobots took part in [[Operation Liberation]] in 1998, a joint human/Autobot operation that defeated and captured the Earth-bound Decepticons.  However, the &#039;&#039;[[Ark II]]&#039;&#039;, which was meant to convey the Autobots, the captured Decepticons, and a number of humans back to Cybertron was sabotaged by General [[Robert Hallo]], sending Jazz and his comrades to the bottom of the [[Arctic Ocean]].  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few years later, Optimus Prime awoke Jazz and a number of other Autobots, to combat the sinister [[Lazarus]].  He aided in the cleanup of Lazarus&#039; latest target, the [[SmitCo]] oil refinery, and then moved on to Lazarus&#039; base, which had been taken over by a revived Megatron and his deadly &#039;metal virus&#039;.  Jazz and the others briefly battled the Decepticons, but were stopped in their tracks when Hallo dropped a nuclear bomb on them.  The virus absorbed most of the blast, leaving the Transformers unharmed, but continued to expand across the countryside.  Jazz remained behind with a team to combat the virus, while Optimus Prime took a contingent of warriors to combat Megatron in [[San Francisco]].  Armed with [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]-designed blasters to combat the virus, Jazz and his squad fought bravely, despite the blasters draining their energy and the well-meaning interference of the Canadian Army.  But soon the virus overwhelmed them, forcing Wheeljack to sacrifice himself to destroy it.  Jazz mourned over Wheeljack&#039;s fallen form.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some time later, Jazz participated in a battle in [[Alaska]] over possession of an escape pod containing [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], only to be forced to flee with the other Autobots when Shockwave arrived from Cybertron, proclaiming a new era of peace.  While Optimus Prime and a number of other Autobots surrendered to Shockwave&#039;s lieutenant [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], Jazz was left behind on Earth to command a small team of Autobots.  After Magnus and Prime had departed, Jazz, [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]], and [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] returned to the battlefield, but found no trace of the pod or Scourge.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{disambig3|Soundwave}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Soundwave is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]]. In the Japanese series, he later took the name &#039;&#039;&#039;Soundblaster&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Soundwave_mixalot.jpg|thumb|300px|Big butts: preferred. Lying: impossible.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Soundwave&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]&#039;s most reliable troops, and has positioned himself comfortably and irreplaceably in Megatron&#039;s upper command structure, and stands at the Decepticon leader&#039;s side as confidant. Soundwave guards his place in the hierarchy fiercely.  Though loyal to Megatron, the other Decepticons see him as a two-faced snake.  As Communications Officer, Soundwave sees and hears all, and will not hesitate to use blackmail to keep himself high in Megatron&#039;s esteem.  The other Decepticons wouldn&#039;t mind abandoning him on the battlefield -- if they thought Megatron would let them get away with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave commands a legion of cassette troops to carry out tasks big and small.  Sometimes he lets them all out to watch impromptu gladiator games.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Contentedfools.jpg|left|thumb|200px|[[Ravage]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and Soundwave, the first Decepticons.]]&lt;br /&gt;
After the Transformers&#039; awakening on Earth, Soundwave served quietly under Megatron, before he was overthrown by Shockwave. Under Shockwave&#039;s command, Soundwave attacked the [[Blackrock Aerospace Plant]] and secured it for Decepticon use. {{storylink|Warrior School!}} The plant&#039;s facilities were used to create the [[Constructicons]], who built a massive radio dish that Soundwave used to beam a message back to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Next Best Thing to Being There!}} &#039;&#039;Soundwave assumed leadership of the Decepticons a short time later and lead them against the Autobots during the &amp;quot;Dinobot Hunt,&amp;quot; during a brief period when both Megatron and Shockwave were missing in action.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Dinobot Hunt}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Megatron resurfaced, rendered immobile in a Wyoming coal mine due to lack of fuel, Soundwave sped to his rescue, re-energizing him. {{storylink| I, Robot Master!}} &#039;&#039;Using the splintered state of the Decepticon forces to his advantage, Soundwave worked both sides of the field, reporting to both Megatron and the returned Shockwave, without the other&#039;s knowledge. When Shockwave learned that the human [[Buster Witwicky]] had begun to suffer [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]-induced visions of the [[combiner|next leap in Transformer evolution]], Soundwave reported this to Megatron, prompting him to battle Shockwave for leadership. The Decepticons&#039; human ally, [[Robot Master]], televised the battle, much to Soundwave&#039;s distaste, and in order to prevent the Decepticons from looking like fools, interrupted the duel and insisted that they agree to a joint leadership.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Second Generation!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;When the [[Robot-Master]] hoax the Decepticons were perpetrating was threatened by the investigate work of [[Joy Meadows]], Soundwave was instrumental in ending the conflict that ensued between the Decepticons and the Dinobots by holding the reporter hostage and destroying her footage.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|In the National Interest!}} &#039;&#039;Not long thereafter, when the deranged future Decepticon, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], travelled back in time, Soundwave was intruiged by the fact that he was unable to scan his mind to discern the truth of his identity. Siding with Megatron when conflict erupted, Soundwave and his leader were buried under an avalanche by Galvatron, and then rescued by the Autobots in the name of forming an alliance to defeat their common enemy.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Target 2006}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It would be some time before Soundwave came back to the fore, and his return to the spotlight was an ignominious one. With Megatron having apparently died, Soundwave was now once again under Shockwave&#039;s command, and, while patrolling on the Decepticon&#039;s mobile island base, found himself attacked and subdued by the time-travelling freelance peace-keeping agent, [[Death&#039;s Head]], and tricked into giving up information on the whereabouts of Galvatron.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Hunters!}} &#039;&#039;Although Death&#039;s Head&#039;s attempts to track down the Decepticon met with failure, Galvatron was ultimately entombed in lava, where he was later discovered by [[Susan Hoffman]]. Soundwave observed a televised broadcast of her discovery, and he and the [[Combaticon]]s attempted to destroy Galvatron with explosives planted around the volcano in question. After a battle with the [[Throttlebot]]s, Soundwave found that he was unable to remotely detonate the explosives planted around the volcano thanks to Blaster jamming his signal.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Ladies&#039; Night!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Soundwave uscomics.jpg|thumb|left|G2 before it was cool.]]When Shockwave was removed from power, Soundwave smoothly transitioned to serving under the new Decepticon leader Ratbat, and helped to operate his [[Realvision]] playback system to decode data from Autobot tapes [[Grandslam]] and [[Raindance]]. {{storylink|The Flames of Boltax!}} The tapes, it was discovered, contained information on the [[Underbase]], the power of which was soon claimed by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], who immediately targeted the Earth. Soundwave co-lead the defence of New York alongside [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], but was deactivated by a blast of cosmic power from Starscream. {{storylink|Dark Star!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It would be some time before Soundwave was operational again, but was back on his feet by the time that Starscream - now a [[Pretender]] - was busy doubting his self-worth.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Fallen Star}} He continued to operate under the command of the new Decepticon Earth commander, [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;In 2007, in the alternate future world of [[Earth-120185]], Soundwave was second-in-command of the Decepticon forces under Shockwave, and succeeded him after Death&#039;s Head assassinated him on the orders of [[Unicron]].&#039;&#039; {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}} &#039;&#039;In 2008, Soundwave entered into an alliance with the [[Quintesson]]s, arranging to attack the Autobots as part of a larger plan. He was, however, unaware of the aliens&#039; true plans to take control of Cybertron, and found himself double-crossed when the Quintessons ambushed the Decepticons en route to their attack on the Autobots. The Autobots, led by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], saved Soundwave&#039;s forces from the Quintessons, and they joind forces to repel the Quintesson invasion.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Space Pirates!}} &#039;&#039;Finally, in 2009, Soundwave led the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] back in time to 1989, where they briefly participated in the &amp;quot;Time Wars,&amp;quot; before returning to their own time in the midst of the conflict to save their own hides.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Time Wars}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Earthforce====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;In the tangent timeline that is home to the Autobot [[Earthforce]] team, Soundwave nominally served on Megatron&#039;s side during the Decepticon Civil War, but, once again, was not above exploiting the conflict for his own ends. When an energon shipment was hijacked by Shockwave&#039;s forces thanks to information he had given them, Megatron came to suspect the presence of a traitor in his ranks, but ironically assigned Soundwave to identify them. To keep his own duplicity a secret, he sets up [[Wildrider]] to take the fall, and Megatron destroys the [[Stunticon]].&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Secrets}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Approached by Starscream with a plan to make them both Decepticon leaders, Soundwave joined forces with the schemer and lured Megatron and Shockwave to an airport, tipping off the Autobots to their location. With the two leaders thus occupied, Soundwave and Starscream take control.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Internal Affairs!}}&#039;&#039; Subsequently, Soundwave led an all-out attack on the Earthforce base as a diversion, while Starscream attempts to plunder an oil tanker. Starscream meets with failure, however, leading Soundwave to withdraw his forces, and wonder if he should not take leadership for himself alone.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}} &#039;&#039;Starscream is aware of Soundwave&#039;s goals, and when he is attacked by a group of alien assassins, suspects that he has ordered the hit and strikes back at him. Soundwave is able to convince him he is not responsible - in actuality, it was the work of Megatron and Soundwave.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|External Forces!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Learning that human reporter [[Irwin Spoon]] had secured an interview with the Autobots that could potentially resolve public view of the Transformer war. Seeking to prevent this, he has the Stunticons captured the journalist, and although the Autobots are able to rescue him, a carefully planted [[cerebro-shell]] ensures that the story Irwin writes is anything but accurate.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|End of the Road!}}&lt;br /&gt;

====&#039;&#039;The Transformers&#039;&#039;====&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice Actor:&#039;&#039; [[Frank Welker]] (US), [[Issei Masamune]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Cybertronsoundwave.jpg|thumb||left|Ummm what use is this?.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to his arrival on Earth, Soundwave had the questionably useful [[altmode]] of a space-age lamp-post. This allowed him to get as close to Autobot headquarters as the street leading into [[Iacon]], but thankfully his chest-dwelling minion [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] could snoop even closer. The loyal Laserbeak overheard talk of the Autobot mission to seek new energy sources off Cybertron, which prompted the fateful Decepticon interception mission that eventually landed both teams on Earth.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Immediately after the Transformers awakened on Earth in 1984, Soundwave played an essential role in the generation of [[energon cube]]s and the formation of plans for a new space cruiser to return the Decepticons to Cybertron.  He sounded really cool when he talked about these, too. Soundwave was reformatted as a portable casette player, which allowed him to dupe a grabby and none-too-questioning [[Spike Witwicky]] into carrying his shrunken form into the [[Ark]] headquarters.  This was to happen many times to the seemingly tape-deck addicted citizens of Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, he used his mind-reading talents to acquire an antimatter formula for the Decepticons from the brain of [[Chip Chase]]. One of Soundwave&#039;s most notable misadventures came in in 1985, when, operating a plan conceived by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], he brainwashed humans with ultrasonic vibrations inside the Decepticon-built night club [[Dancitron]] in [[New York City]], leading to a confrontation with his Autobot Communications Officer counterpart, [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], beginning a lasting rivalry between the two.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Soundwaveg1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|We&#039;ll get you next time, Gadget.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave rarely displayed much emotion, and only infrequently exhibited any cunning and self-serving traits. He came across as extremely loyal to Megatron, even going so far as to recover the mortally wounded leader after being left for dead at the Battle of Autobot City in 2005. But while Soundwave was loyal, he was far from stupid, and kept his mouth shut when Megatron was subsequently ejected into space, and although he did suggest himself as a replacement leader, he again loyally served Megatron when he returned as [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the year 2006, although operating in a less prominent capacity for most of the time, Soundwave played a prominent role in Galvatron&#039;s attempt to learn the secret of a sonic weapon on the planet [[Eurythma]], where sound and music were the way of life, leaving Soundwave entranced by the planet&#039;s perfect melodies. Recording each piece of the harmony that formed the devastating sonic effect, Soundwave was defeated when the Eurythmans countered the harmony with white noise, and was again pulled into a confrontation with Blaster, who erased his recordings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====&#039;&#039;Fight!  Super Robot Lifeform Transformer&#039;&#039; manga=====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave and his cassettes had stolen some top secret information and were being pursued through Tokyo by the Autobots.  His chase eventually ended when Bumblebee got the drop on him with his patented &amp;quot;Bumble-Kick&amp;quot; and shattered his chest and the stolen information within.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The manga maintained something resembling continuity: during his appearance in the third issue of the book, Soundwave was shown to have bandages over his chest.  Adorable.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====&#039;&#039;Fight!  Super Robot Lifeform Trasnformer&#039;&#039; story pages=====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the second &amp;quot;Anime Theater&amp;quot; story page, titled &#039;&#039;Sick em, Hound!&#039;&#039;, the Autobots decided to keep themselves in shape by having a friendly race.  Soundwave learned of the race and set up a trap within a narrow canyon.  He walled the Autobots up within the canyon and began shooting them all.  Luckily, [[Hound]] arrived on the scene and delivered a powerful punch to his chest, shattering his tape door.  Soundwave immediately fled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;Headmasters&#039;&#039;====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after the arrival of the [[Headmaster]]s, Soundwave and Blaster engaged in their final clash in the Arctic circle as the Autobots and Decepticons were in the process of searching for the missing Autobot [[Matrix]] of Leadership. The two opponents inflicted fatal damage on each other, and Soundwave&#039;s body exploded even as Blaster collapsed, but his fragments were recovered by his cassettes. Using reconstructive technology from the planet [[Master]], the leader of the Decepticon Headmasters, [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] successfully rebuilt and resurrected Soundwave as &#039;&#039;&#039;Soundblaster&#039;&#039;&#039; - essentially identical to his former self, except for his predominantly black color scheme. As Soundblaster, Soundwave served the same role as he had ever done under the leadership of Galvatron and later Scorponok, frequently embarking on spying missions with [[Ratbat]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====&#039;&#039;Headmasters&#039;&#039; manga=====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Decepticons had been vanquished from Earth, [[Scorponok (G1)|Mega Zarak]] ordered Soundblaster to remain on Earth in secret to act as a spy for the Decepticons.  Soundwave made his presence and intentions known almost instantly (not a very good spy) by kicking [[Wheelie]] square in the face and taking the [[Spike Witwicky|Witwicky]] family hostage. Strangely enough, the Autobots considered these acts to be hostile. [[Chromedome]] was left powerless to do anything but surrender, as [[Slugfest]] and [[Overkill]] brutalized [[Spike Witwicky|Spike]] and threatened [[Carly]].  Daniel finally snapped and beat the living crap out of the two Cassette dinosaurs, leaving Soundblaster open to Chromedome&#039;s poorly named &amp;quot;Master-Chrome Hurricane Throw to the End of Hell!&amp;quot;  Chromedome chucked Soundblaster over the horizon where he landed near the rogue Decepticon, [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In &#039;&#039;[[When Continents Collide]]&#039;&#039;, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] calls Soundwave a &amp;quot;blundering tape-filled idiot.&amp;quot;  This is notable because it is hilarious. Also, Soundwave is really, really whiny in these stories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave is shown among the many Transformers strewn about the interior of the Ark when the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] infiltrates the ship on his mission to destroy Optimus Prime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[3H]] &#039;&#039;Tales of the Beast Wars&#039;&#039; comics, Soundwave is one of the ancient warriors who appears from [[J&#039;nwan]] to help battle the warlord [[Shokaract]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave was among the Decepticons who quickly joined Shockwave&#039;s forces upon returning to Cybertron.  It seems clear, however, that Soundwave had little loyalty to him, as he readily joins up with Starscream when the [[Seeker]] decides to return to Earth and take over.  Though Soundwave feigned subservience to Starscream, it is later revealed that he had been serving Megatron the entire time in secret.&lt;br /&gt;

: Came with [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]] in the US and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] in Japan. Prior to his release as a Transformer, Soundwave was a Microchange Cassetteman Sony Walkman, which came with a set of non-functioning headphones to listen to the silence of his non-functioning tapes.  His weapons turned into imitation batteries to power his nonexistent circuitry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: VS-Y Soundwave came with Rumble and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: As part of the Japanese [[Headmasters (franchise)|Headmasters]] series, Soundwave was [[redeco]]ed and [[retool]]ed so that he could hold 2 Cassettes in his chest at once. He came packaged with Buzzsaw.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Soundwave with Wingthing&#039;&#039;&#039; (Action Master, 1990)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Notably, his color scheme is very &#039;&#039;&#039;loud&#039;&#039;&#039;, being bright shades of fluorescent yellow, pink and blue.  This is one time fans can actually get away with describing a toy&#039;s color scheme as [[neon]].&lt;br /&gt;

Due to the lack of fiction, it is &#039;&#039;possible&#039;&#039; that this incarnation is in fact an alternate-universe version of Soundwave, or possibly a new character altogether.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Soundwavecommercial.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Say hello to my leetle friend!]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Though Soundwave&#039;s toy is a microcassette recorder, his fictional appearances depict him as a stereo cassette deck or Walkman.  (Likewise, his microcassette tapes are depicted as regular audio cassettes.)&lt;br /&gt;
* Animation from early &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; commercials featured a Soundwave model colored in very light blue, versus the dark blue used later.  Also, instead of the cassettes ejecting themselves from his chest, he reached into his chest compartment with his own fingers and threw the (tiny) tapes into the air.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Marvel US comics chose a purple scheme for Soundwave.  This could have been an error, an early look for him that was dropped in other media, or perhaps an attempt to distinguish him from the other Decepticons, who were mostly blue (especially since blacks also ended up as blues in the industry&#039;s then-limited color pallette).  The Marvel UK comics colored him blue like everywhere else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Bm soundwave.jpg|thumb|right|Soundwave gets slagged by Vehicons, and Nightscream escapes. How&#039;s that for injustice?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Soundwave&#039;s computer model was used for one of the generic transformers in Beast Machines seen in [[Nightscream]]&#039;s flashback being cornered by [[Vehicon]] drones just before Nightscream fled into the lower levels of Cybertron.  Though the model was recolored, it was still really &amp;lt;span title=&amp;quot;This may not be an actual word&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;cursor:help;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;Soundwavey,&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; causing much confusion among fans.&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Soundwave&#039;s character model showed up numerous times in various color schemes as a generic background character in [[Armada (television series)|Armada]].&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Sideways]] listened to music using a tape deck resembling Soundwave in the [[Cybertron (television series)|Cybertron]] cartoon. Later, after a new [[Planet X (Cybertron)|Planet X]] was found, &#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;&#039; [[Soundwave (Cybertron)|Soundwave]] held tape deck Soundwave in his arms.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{disambig3|Blurr}}&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Blurr is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Blurr-AR-DVD.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Raise your hand if you&#039;re sure!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Blurr&#039;&#039;&#039; is a serious minded, yet highly competitive warrior.  He has a friendly rivalry with [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] and awkwardly avoids the annoyingly nerdy [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]], who embarrasses him with his idol worship. In keeping with his generally silent, serious demeanor, he is an experts marksman, serving as sniper in [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime&#039;s]] unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His [[Mini-Con]] partner is [[Incinerator]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Blurr was an Autobot officer holding the rank of lieutenant. He was a veteran of the campaigns on the wartorn planet Duke. While serving on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Blurr encountered a young Autobot named [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]], who had somehow fallen prey to a rope trap. To his chagrin, saving the younger soldier led to Side Swipe idolizing Blurr, to the point of following the seasoned veteran to Earth when Blurr transferred to Optimus Prime command.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blurr is described as a racer with a gruff serious personality. He doesn&#039;t like small talk and prefers to keep himself busy working. Blurr has a dislike for the children and especially Side Swipe. Blurr relates most to Scavenger, as the two are very similar.&lt;br /&gt;

: Blurr transforms into a sleek Cybertronic race car. In this mode, plugging his packed-in Mini-Con partner [[Incinerator]] into the space under Blurr&#039;s spoiler causes the rear side panels of Blurr&#039;s car mode to flip down into a &amp;quot;flight mode&amp;quot;. This mode also makes his twin [[Powerlinx]]-activated spring-loaded missile launchers available, which become hand-held weapons in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The Japanese release of Blurr has several significant color differences, most notably the lack of &amp;quot;dirt-wash&amp;quot; on his car mode, clear-red canopy rather than clear-yellow, plus his head has an entirely different set of [[paint applications]].&lt;br /&gt;

: &#039;&#039;Blurr is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Blurr-AR-DVD.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Raise your hand if you&#039;re sure!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Blurr&#039;&#039;&#039; is a serious minded, yet highly competitive warrior.  He has a friendly rivalry with [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] and awkwardly avoids the annoyingly nerdy [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]], who embarrasses him with his idol worship. In keeping with his generally silent, serious demeanor, he is an experts marksman, serving as sniper in [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime&#039;s]] unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His [[Mini-Con]] partner is [[Incinerator]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Voice actor:&#039;&#039; [[Brian Drummond]] (US) [[Isshin Chiba]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blurr was an Autobot officer holding the rank of lieutenant. He was a veteran of the campaigns on the wartorn planet Duke. While serving on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Blurr encountered a young Autobot named [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]], who had somehow fallen prey to a rope trap. To his chagrin, saving the younger soldier led to Side Swipe idolizing Blurr, to the point of following the seasoned veteran to Earth when Blurr transferred to Optimus Prime command.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blurr is described as a racer with a gruff serious personality. He doesn&#039;t like small talk and prefers to keep himself busy working. Blurr has a dislike for the children and especially Side Swipe. Blurr relates most to Scavenger, as the two are very similar.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{disambig3|Blurr}}&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Blurr is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Blurr-AR-DVD.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Raise your hand if you&#039;re sure!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Blurr&#039;&#039;&#039; is a serious minded, yet highly competitive warrior.  He has a friendly rivalry with [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] and awkwardly avoids the annoyingly nerdy [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]], who embarrasses him with his idol worship. In keeping with his generally silent, serious demeanor, he is an experts marksman, serving as sniper in [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime&#039;s]] unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His [[Mini-Con]] partner is [[Incinerator]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Japanese name:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Silverbolt&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;

===Animated continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice actor:&#039;&#039; [[Brian Drummond]] (US) [[Isshin Chiba]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blurr was an Autobot officer holding the rank of lieutenant. He was a veteran of the campaigns on the wartorn planet Duke. While serving on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Blurr encountered a young Autobot named [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]], who had somehow fallen prey to a rope trap. To his chagrin, saving the younger soldier led to Side Swipe idolizing Blurr, to the point of following the seasoned veteran to Earth when Blurr transferred to Optimus Prime command.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blurr is described as a racer with a gruff serious personality. He doesn&#039;t like small talk and prefers to keep himself busy working. Blurr has a dislike for the children and especially Side Swipe. Blurr relates most to Scavenger, as the two are very similar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
While fighting the [[Unicron]] herald [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], Blurr&#039;s gun and fingers were cut off by the Pretender.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Blurr transforms into a sleek Cybertronic race car. In this mode, plugging his packed-in Mini-Con partner [[Incinerator]] into the space under Blurr&#039;s spoiler causes the rear side panels of Blurr&#039;s car mode to flip down into a &amp;quot;flight mode&amp;quot;. This mode also makes his twin [[Powerlinx]]-activated spring-loaded missile launchers available, which become hand-held weapons in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The Japanese release of Blurr has several significant color differences, most notably the lack of &amp;quot;dirt-wash&amp;quot; on his car mode, clear-red canopy rather than clear-yellow, plus his head has an entirely different set of [[paint applications]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: In November of 2003, US Toys &amp;quot;R&amp;quot; Us stores had special bonus pack Max-Con (Deluxe) toys, which came with a single bonus Mini-Con attached to the card over their sticker, for &#039;&#039;less&#039;&#039; than the price as a normal Max-Con during Toys &amp;quot;R&amp;quot; Us&#039; post-Thanksgiving-day sale.  Like [[Sideways]], Blurr could come with one of the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team]] members: [[Buzzsaw (Armada)|Buzzsaw]], [[Drill Bit (Armada)|Drill Bit]], or [[Dualor]].&lt;br /&gt;

Although the toy package bio differs, it offers no &#039;&#039;explicitly&#039;&#039; contradictory information (though &#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039; Blurr was never depicted as a racing champion). Blurr is described as having stayed behind on Cybertron to protect it from the Decepticon assault in the face of the [[Unicron Singularity]]&#039;s appearance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;:&#039;&#039;Jazz is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.  He is also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Meister&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Jazzg1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Eat floor, dig?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Jazz&#039;&#039;&#039; is [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s right-hand man.  Unlike [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], Prime&#039;s military strategist, Jazz responds well to change and improvisation.  Whatever surprises the Decepticons spring, Jazz can deal.  His position as Special Operations Officer calls for all the skills he possesses, yet he still has time to add some style into everything he does.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An admirer of Earth music of every kind, Jazz loves culture.  More than most other Autobots, he has his finger on the pulse of Earth trends and lingo.  Chances are, Jazz could tell you the status of almost any reality television show and each week&#039;s Top 40 list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz&#039;s personality makes him well-liked among the others of the Ark, especially [[Bumblebee]].  In fact, there is not one Autobot who &#039;&#039;doesn&#039;t&#039;&#039; like or admire Jazz.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Preliminary name:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Jazzz&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Marvel Comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
====Generation 1====&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;(Events from UK-only stories are in italics.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Jazzg1marvelfirst.jpg|left|thumb|100px|Hey, Prowl, you suck.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz was one of the Autobots who crashed on [[Earth]] four million years ago, waking up in 1984.  Jazz showed an affinity with human pop culture almost immediately, responding to [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]&#039;s non sequitur assertion that his &amp;quot;logic center dictates the most advantageous course of action in any situation&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;Well, that is neat-o, Prowl.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz&#039;s first foray into action came when the [[Decepticon]]s attacked him and his fellow Autobots at [[Witwicky Auto Repairs]], resulting in the kidnapping of [[Sparkplug Witwicky]].  Later, when Sparkplug was rescued and it was learned that the auto repairman had devised a way for the Decepticons to convert [[Earth]] fuel into a usable resource, the Autobots were enraged.  Jazz shot a stream of fire to prevent Sparkplug&#039;s escape, causing the [[human]] to suffer a heart attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It was discovered that after the Autobots crash landed on Earth, a rescue ship was sent after them which was buried somewhere in England.  The [[Man of Iron]], one of its crew, had awakened a number of times in England&#039;s history, and had become a local legend.  Jazz, along with [[Trailbreaker]], [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], and [[Bluestreak]], were dispatched to England under [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s supervision.  Jazz befriended (and kidnapped) a young boy, [[Tommy Harker]], whose dad worked at the castle where the Autobot rescue ship had been partially unearthed.  After questioning the boy, it became apparent that the rescue ship must be destroyed.  At the climax of a battle with the Decepticons over the buried ship, Jazz fired his weaponry down into it, and it was pulverized.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Generation 2====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Animated continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice Actor:&#039;&#039; [[Scatman Crothers]], &#039;&#039;[[Wally Burr]]&#039;&#039; (US), [[Kōki Kataoka]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:cybertronjazz.jpg|thumb|Spoiler alert. Haw!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blacker than the inside of a drive shaft -- uh, that&#039;s how Jazz described the north side of Cybertron. The slang-talking operations specialist was on a recon mission to ascertain Cybertron&#039;s bleak energy reserves, and his reports are what prompted the Autobot mission to search for new sources of energy outside of their home world. Jazz served as pilot for the &#039;&#039;[[Ark]]&#039;&#039; until severe asteroid turbulence knocked him from his seat. The Decepticons took advantage of the confusion and attacked, and both vessels and parties crash-landed on Earth. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four million years later, in 1984, the Autobots and Decepticons awoke reformatted to fit in on the planet. Jazz traded in his sleek Cybertronian form for an even sleeker Porsche 935 Turbo. As a lieutenant to [[Optimus Prime]] Jazz was tasked to assemble task forces and special mission teams to counter the Decepticon threat. Jazz accompanied the first mission to an off-shore oil rig, where his wrist-mounted winch and grappling hook came in handy saving Optimus Prime. He used the same line to stop Prime from riding the rapids at [[Sherman Dam]], and to pull [[Bluestreak]] and [[Ironhide]] from an unscheduled lake swim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Jazz is one of the main characters in the series up to season three, only making a few cameos with no lines.  This is because [[Scatman Crothers]] died not long after the movie finished production.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout season one, Jazz is seen giving orders and accompanying [[Optimus Prime]] on almost any mission they undertake.  In season two, Jazz actually uses his light and sound show attack on at least two occasions.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave comic continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
8.2 million years ago, Jazz and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] met [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] in the remains of [[Praxus]]&#039; [[Helix Gardens]] to discuss the worthiness of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optronix]] to lead the Autobots.  Jazz later attended the [[Matrix]]-transfer ceremony at the [[Chamber of the Ancients]]; he attempted to save Optronix - now Optimus Prime - when he was attacked by [[Decepticons]], but was restrained by Grimlock.  When Prime defeated the assassins, Jazz was convinced of his worth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon afterwards, Jazz questioned Prowl&#039;s decision to allow Prime to explore the depths of the planet alone, but was prevented from pressing the issue any further when [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] attacked [[Iacon]] with an army of Decepticons.  Jazz helped direct the battle from the [[Decagon]], but the defenders were soon overwhelmed.  Jazz was forced to begin evacuating important artifacts and hardware from the city, but was unable to finish before the Decepticons overran the Decagon.  He and a handful of Autobots made a desperate last stand, but were saved from extinction when [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] activated the planetary engines, devastating the city and forcing Shockwave&#039;s army to retreat.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7.4 million years ago, Jazz witnessed the [[space bridge]] explosion that seemingly killed Prime and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]].  After the subsequent fragmentation of the Autobot faction, Jazz remained with the Prowl-led Autobots.  He accompanied a group of Autobots to investigate a [[Trypticon (G1)|new mobile battle base]] at the [[Praetorus Wharf]], only to learn that the base was fully operational.  Despite the arrival of reinforcements, the titan was too much for Jazz and his cohorts; only when Shockwave recalled Trypticon to the [[Neutral Territories]] were they saved them from certain doom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Battered, Jazz and the others limped back to Iacon, only to be forced to repel an attack on [[Autobase]] by [[The Fallen]].  Although Jazz, [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], and [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] fought valiantly, the mysterious entity defeated them and archived his objective: freeing [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] from captivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz was among the crew of the &#039;&#039;[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]&#039;&#039; when it crashed on [[Earth]], and awoke in 1984 to battle the Decepticons.  After years of fighting, Jazz and the other Autobots took part in [[Operation Liberation]] in 1998, a joint human/Autobot operation that defeated and captured the Earth-bound Decepticons.  However, the &#039;&#039;[[Ark II]]&#039;&#039;, which was meant to convey the Autobots, the captured Decepticons, and a number of humans back to Cybertron was sabotaged by General [[Robert Hallo]], sending Jazz and his comrades to the bottom of the [[Arctic Ocean]].  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few years later, Optimus Prime awoke Jazz and a number of other Autobots, to combat the sinister [[Lazarus]].  He aided in the cleanup of Lazarus&#039; latest target, the [[SmitCo]] oil refinery, and then moved on to Lazarus&#039; base, which had been taken over by a revived Megatron and his deadly &#039;metal virus&#039;.  Jazz and the others briefly battled the Decepticons, but were stopped in their tracks when Hallo dropped a nuclear bomb on them.  The virus absorbed most of the blast, leaving the Transformers unharmed, but continued to expand across the countryside.  Jazz remained behind with a team to combat the virus, while Optimus Prime took a contingent of warriors to combat Megatron in [[San Francisco]].  Armed with [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]-designed blasters to combat the virus, Jazz and his squad fought bravely, despite the blasters draining their energy and the well-meaning interference of the Canadian Army.  But soon the virus overwhelmed them, forcing Wheeljack to sacrifice himself to destroy it.  Jazz mourned over Wheeljack&#039;s fallen form.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some time later, Jazz participated in a battle in [[Alaska]] over possession of an escape pod containing [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], only to be forced to flee with the other Autobots when Shockwave arrived from Cybertron, proclaiming a new era of peace.  While Optimus Prime and a number of other Autobots surrendered to Shockwave&#039;s lieutenant [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], Jazz was left behind on Earth to command a small team of Autobots.

:Jazz was part of the original assortment of Autobots released in 1984. He transforms into a Martini Racing Porsche 935 Turbo. In robot mode he is armed with a silver &#039;photon rifle&#039; and a shoulder mounted, spring-loaded rocket launcher that can fire three silver missiles.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Generation 2 Jazz is a slight retool and redeco of the original toy. His face (apparently degraded from mold usage) now has a strange leer. His roof has been retooled with a small hole to accommodate his new bright green, spring-loaded missile launcher. All of his Martini racing stickers have been replaced with various new stickers depicting his name and the number &#039;1&#039; layed over a rainbow-colored musical note.&lt;br /&gt;

When the iron-on patch was used, it was possible to instead find an instant win ticket for a Transformers voice changer (of the [[Enemy]] variety) - or to have a party with &amp;quot;life size&amp;quot; Transformers! Among the &amp;quot;life size&amp;quot; Transformers shown were Jazz and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]].  If you actually did party with Jazz and Skywarp, please let us know.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinobot&#039;&#039;&#039; is a Predacon ruled by honor.  He lives to die gloriously in battle.  When he aided [[Megatron_(BW)|Megatron]] in the theft of the [[Golden Disc]] under the order of [[Cryotek]], Dinobot believed he was in the pursuit of endless glory.  But when he and his Predacon peers crashed on a mysterious planet alongside a Maximal exploration vessel, his desire to be on the winning side turned him to the Maximal team.  At first he feared his growing sense of right and wrong would clash with the demands of his Predacon heritage -- but perhaps they are not mutually exclusive after all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

===&#039;&#039;Timelines: Dawn of Future&#039;s Past&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
===Beast Wars===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Voice Actor:&#039;&#039; [[Scott McNeil]] (US), [[Keiji Fujiwara]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:BWDinobot_arrival.jpg|left|thumb|Feathers are for those Jurassic Park 3 losers]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Immediately after crash landing on [[Earth]], Dinobot turned on Megatron, claiming the Predacon commander had led them to the wrong planet.  Unfazed by Dinobot&#039;s tirade, Megatron had [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]] blast him, and left him for dead.  Dinobot &lt;br /&gt;
left the Predacons and laid in wait for the Maximals to return to their base.  Challenging [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus]] to a duel, Dinobot was determined to lead one faction or another and gain the glory he desperately sought. {{storylink|Beast Wars, Part 1}} During the duel, Dinobot displayed a rare amount of honor, fair play, and self sacrifice and won the respect of Optimus, who asked him to join the Maximals.  This didn&#039;t sit well with the other Maximals, particularly [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], but as the series went on the two became a strange sort of friends. {{storylink|Beast Wars, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:2char8.jpg |thumb|right|&amp;quot;When reality alters, the [[Generation 1|future]] alters with it! With the Golden Disk, Michael Bay&#039;s power is limitless!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a Maximal, Dinobot still displayed strong Predacon tendancies.  He was usually more willing to go to the extreme in terms of tactics, use whatever weapons the Maximals had, and often advocated kicking the Predacons when they were down.  He also proved to be fairly introspective, and did not miss the gravity of his own situation should the Maximals ever win the Beast Wars. {{storylink|Victory (Beast Wars episode)|Victory}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the destruction of the [[Planet Buster]], and it became obvious that they were on Earth, Dinobot had a few crises of character.  His honor and growing sense of doing the right thing were coming into direct conflict with his desires to be on the winning side and gain eternal glory.  He broke into the Predacon [[Darkside|base]] and stole the golden disks from Megatron, hiding the one from Cybertron and taking the [[Vok|Alien]] disk back to the [[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]].  Hiding the theft from his Maximal comrades, Dinobot agonized over the contents of the disk from Cybertron.  He knew that the knowledge on the disk would make Megatron powerful enough to win the Beast Wars, and rewrite history.  After this revelation, Dinobot&#039;s desire for victory and glory got the better of him and he rejoined the Predacons and gave Megatron the disk back.  However, his friendship with Rattrap proved to be too strong, he couldn&#039;t eliminate the &amp;quot;vermin&amp;quot;, and he once again turned on Megatron and rejoined the Maximals. {{storylink|Maximal, No More}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:BWDinobot_decision.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Dying with honor requires a picturesque sunset and opportune posing.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dinobot was lost.  Had he fumbled his chance at being a great warrior?  After contemplating suicide and getting berated by a hurt Rattrap for his betrayal, Dinobot set out to find Megatron and set things right.  However, Megatron had led the Predacons to the valley occupied by the proto-humans, intending to wipe them out and change history.  [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] saw the imminent attack and radioed for help before he was forced to head back to base for repairs.  Dinobot responed to the call and took on all of the Predacons by himself.  Ignoring the damage he took, the warnings of his own internal computer, and the danger to himself, Dinobot defeated all of the Predacons save Megatron.  Mocking the weakened Dinobot, Megatron tallied the score firmly in his own favor.  He had unimaginable power(i.e. the Golden Disk ), the valley was in ruins, and he had hostages.  Refusing to quit, Dinobot improvised (with a wood and rock hammer), snatched the disk from Megatron, and with the last of his power, shattered it with his eye beams.  The effort cost him, and a short time after the rest of the Maximals arrived, Dinobot&#039;s spark left his frame. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Dinbot_funeral.jpg|right|thumb|Legends don&#039;t die, they just fade away.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dinobot was given a hero&#039;s funeral, with his body being recycled with full honours while the Maximal fliers flew past, as a sign of respect for his Predacon heritage. {{storylink|Code of Hero}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A year later, Megatron, in all his insane genius, [[Dinobot 2|cloned]] him. {{storylink|Feral Scream, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinobot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 1996/1997)&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;C-4&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;VS-4&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; product, Dinobot transforms into something kinda resembling an organic Utahraptor.  His tail detaches and separates to form a gear-powered spinning-blade weapon, while the central &amp;quot;tailbone&amp;quot; separates to be used as a sword.  The entire assembly can store in robot mode by flipping down the tail-mount and pegging the blade&#039;s base to the peg on his lower back.  Like all early Deluxe-and-up &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; toys, he has a &amp;quot;mutant mask&amp;quot;, halves of a dino-skull that flip up to cover his more robotic head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The original Dinobots shipped on cards with &amp;quot;rocky&amp;quot;-shaped bubbles.  Later (and more numerous) assortments moved to a smooth, rounded bubble, leading the first packaging type to become siught-after collectables on the secondary market.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In Japan, Dinobot was available both individually and in a &amp;quot;Vs&amp;quot; set with [[Tarantulas]].  This version was identical to the [[Hasbro]] version. In January 1997, Takara [[redeco]]ed many of the &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; toys and re-released them in slightly more show-like tones; Dinobot actually got &#039;&#039;less&#039;&#039; tan to his dino-skin (moving further from the show model), and his helmet was painted in metallic gold. It is unknown if this version was also sold in a Vs set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was used to make... lots of guys.

: Part of the second McDonald&#039;s &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; Happy Meal promotion, [[Transmetal]] Dinobot transforms into a metal velociraptor.  his molding looks more liek a Transmetal 2 than a normal Transmetal&#039;s, though.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: This release is a redeco of the original Dinobot toy, though its &amp;quot;show-accuracy&amp;quot; is questionable at best.  It came with the left arm to the &amp;quot;build-a-bot&amp;quot; figure [[Trans-Mutate]], plus a DVD containing the obvious Dinobot episode, &amp;quot;[[Code of Hero]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the five-toy [[BotCon 2006]] [[exclusive]] boxed set (along with [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]], [[Optimus Primal]], [[Rattrap]] and [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]]), &amp;quot;Darksyde Dinobot&amp;quot; is a redeco of the &#039;&#039;[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; [[Longrack (Cybertron)|Longrack]] mold, itself a [[retool]] of &#039;&#039;[[Armada]]&#039;&#039; [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Hoist]].  Dinobot uses almost all of Longrack&#039;s new-mold parts save for the head; Hoist&#039;s was a dead ringer for Dinobot in the first place.  He transforms into a Cybertronic excavator.  Inserting a [[Cyber Key]] or [[Golden Disk Key]] into his shoulder assembly unlocks a shovel-punch attack activated by pressing on the plunger mechanism above the key port.  Like Longrack, he does &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; come with a [[Mini-Con]] partner (dammit).&lt;br /&gt;

* It&#039;s been rumored that Dinobot&#039;s first toy borrowed some molding from an unproduced [[Kenner]] &#039;&#039;Jurassic Park&#039;&#039; dino.  There&#039;s no evidence at all to support this, however, and is incredibly unlikely to begin with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[Timelines]] &amp;quot;Darksyde Dinobot&amp;quot; color scheme is actually based on his Tenth Anniversary toy.&lt;br /&gt;

However, both the full-length version of the first &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; toy commercial and a later commercial (starring Dinobot, Waspinator and Tarantulas) refer to the weapon as being his &amp;quot;spinning Veloci-Rotor blades&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Dinobot was second under Megatron before rebelling....probably because he was the only one who knew one end of a blaster from the other&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinobot&#039;&#039;&#039; is a Predacon ruled by honor.  He lives to die gloriously in battle.  When he aided [[Megatron_(BW)|Megatron]] in the theft of the [[Golden Disc]] under the order of [[Cryotek]], Dinobot believed he was in the pursuit of endless glory.  But when he and his Predacon peers crashed on a mysterious planet alongside a Maximal exploration vessel, his desire to be on the winning side turned him to the Maximal team.  At first he feared his growing sense of right and wrong would clash with the demands of his Predacon heritage -- but perhaps they are not mutually exclusive after all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Timelines: Dawn of Future&#039;s Past&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
===Beast Wars===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Voice Actor:&#039;&#039; [[Scott McNeil]] (US), [[Keiji Fujiwara]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:BWDinobot_arrival.jpg|left|thumb|Feathers are for those Jurassic Park 3 losers]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Immediately after crash landing on [[Earth]], Dinobot turned on Megatron, claiming the Predacon commander had led them to the wrong planet.  Unfazed by Dinobot&#039;s tirade, Megatron had [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]] blast him, and left him for dead.  Dinobot &lt;br /&gt;
left the Predacons and laid in wait for the Maximals to return to their base.  Challenging [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus]] to a duel, Dinobot was determined to lead one faction or another and gain the glory he desperately sought. {{storylink|Beast Wars, Part 1}} During the duel, Dinobot displayed a rare amount of honor, fair play, and self sacrifice and won the respect of Optimus, who asked him to join the Maximals.  This didn&#039;t sit well with the other Maximals, particularly [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], but as the series went on the two became a strange sort of friends. {{storylink|Beast Wars, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:2char8.jpg |thumb|right|&amp;quot;When reality alters, the [[Generation 1|future]] alters with it! With the Golden Disk, Michael Bay&#039;s power is limitless!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a Maximal, Dinobot still displayed strong Predacon tendancies.  He was usually more willing to go to the extreme in terms of tactics, use whatever weapons the Maximals had, and often advocated kicking the Predacons when they were down.  He also proved to be fairly introspective, and did not miss the gravity of his own situation should the Maximals ever win the Beast Wars. {{storylink|Victory (Beast Wars episode)|Victory}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the destruction of the [[Planet Buster]], and it became obvious that they were on Earth, Dinobot had a few crises of character.  His honor and growing sense of doing the right thing were coming into direct conflict with his desires to be on the winning side and gain eternal glory.  He broke into the Predacon [[Darkside|base]] and stole the golden disks from Megatron, hiding the one from Cybertron and taking the [[Vok|Alien]] disk back to the [[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]].  Hiding the theft from his Maximal comrades, Dinobot agonized over the contents of the disk from Cybertron.  He knew that the knowledge on the disk would make Megatron powerful enough to win the Beast Wars, and rewrite history.  After this revelation, Dinobot&#039;s desire for victory and glory got the better of him and he rejoined the Predacons and gave Megatron the disk back.  However, his friendship with Rattrap proved to be too strong, he couldn&#039;t eliminate the &amp;quot;vermin&amp;quot;, and he once again turned on Megatron and rejoined the Maximals. {{storylink|Maximal, No More}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:BWDinobot_decision.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Dying with honor requires a picturesque sunset and opportune posing.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dinobot was lost.  Had he fumbled his chance at being a great warrior?  After contemplating suicide and getting berated by a hurt Rattrap for his betrayal, Dinobot set out to find Megatron and set things right.  However, Megatron had led the Predacons to the valley occupied by the proto-humans, intending to wipe them out and change history.  [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] saw the imminent attack and radioed for help before he was forced to head back to base for repairs.  Dinobot responed to the call and took on all of the Predacons by himself.  Ignoring the damage he took, the warnings of his own internal computer, and the danger to himself, Dinobot defeated all of the Predacons save Megatron.  Mocking the weakened Dinobot, Megatron tallied the score firmly in his own favor.  He had unimaginable power(i.e. the Golden Disk ), the valley was in ruins, and he had hostages.  Refusing to quit, Dinobot improvised (with a wood and rock hammer), snatched the disk from Megatron, and with the last of his power, shattered it with his eye beams.  The effort cost him, and a short time after the rest of the Maximals arrived, Dinobot&#039;s spark left his frame. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Dinbot_funeral.jpg|right|thumb|Legends don&#039;t die, they just fade away.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dinobot was given a hero&#039;s funeral, with his body being recycled with full honours while the Maximal fliers flew past, as a sign of respect for his Predacon heritage. {{storylink|Code of Hero}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A year later, Megatron, in all his insane genius, [[Dinobot 2|cloned]] him. {{storylink|Feral Scream, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;

==Toys==&lt;br /&gt;
===Beast Wars===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinobot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 1996/1997)&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;C-4&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;VS-4&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; product, Dinobot transforms into something kinda resembling an organic Utahraptor.  His tail detaches and separates to form a gear-powered spinning-blade weapon, while the central &amp;quot;tailbone&amp;quot; separates to be used as a sword.  The entire assembly can store in robot mode by flipping down the tail-mount and pegging the blade&#039;s base to the peg on his lower back.  Like all early Deluxe-and-up &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; toys, he has a &amp;quot;mutant mask&amp;quot;, halves of a dino-skull that flip up to cover his more robotic head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The original Dinobots shipped on cards with &amp;quot;rocky&amp;quot;-shaped bubbles.  Later (and more numerous) assortments moved to a smooth, rounded bubble, leading the first packaging type to become siught-after collectables on the secondary market.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In Japan, Dinobot was available both individually and in a &amp;quot;Vs&amp;quot; set with [[Tarantulas]].  This version was identical to the [[Hasbro]] version. In January 1997, Takara [[redeco]]ed many of the &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; toys and re-released them in slightly more show-like tones; Dinobot actually got &#039;&#039;less&#039;&#039; tan to his dino-skin (moving further from the show model), and his helmet was painted in metallic gold. It is unknown if this version was also sold in a Vs set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was used to make... lots of guys.  [[Dinotron]], &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], &#039;&#039;[[Dinobots (toyline)|Dinobots]]&#039;&#039; [[Grimlock (Dinobots)|Grimlock]], &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars Neo]]&#039;&#039; [[Hardhead (BWN)|Hardhead]], and [[Thrust (BWII)|Thrustor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinobot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Happy Meal Transmetal, 1998)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the second McDonald&#039;s &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; Happy Meal promotion, [[Transmetal]] Dinobot transforms into a metal velociraptor.  his molding looks more liek a Transmetal 2 than a normal Transmetal&#039;s, though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinobot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Tenth Anniversary, 2006)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:BW10Dinobot_toy.jpg|left|thumb|That crazy Utahraptor!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This release is a redeco of the original Dinobot toy, though its &amp;quot;show-accuracy&amp;quot; is questionable at best.  It came with the left arm to the &amp;quot;build-a-bot&amp;quot; figure [[Trans-Mutate]], plus a DVD containing the obvious Dinobot episode, &amp;quot;[[Code of Hero]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Timelines===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Darksyde Dinobot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Dawn of Futures Past multi-pack, 2006)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Botcon2006Dinobot_toy.jpg|right|thumb|Can ya dig it?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the five-toy [[BotCon 2006]] [[exclusive]] boxed set (along with [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]], [[Optimus Primal]], [[Rattrap]] and [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]]), &amp;quot;Darksyde Dinobot&amp;quot; is a redeco of the &#039;&#039;[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; [[Longrack (Cybertron)|Longrack]] mold, itself a [[retool]] of &#039;&#039;[[Armada]]&#039;&#039; [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Hoist]].  Dinobot uses almost all of Longrack&#039;s new-mold parts save for the head; Hoist&#039;s was a dead ringer for Dinobot in the first place.  He transforms into a Cybertronic excavator.  Inserting a [[Cyber Key]] or [[Golden Disk Key]] into his shoulder assembly unlocks a shovel-punch attack activated by pressing on the plunger mechanism above the key port.  Like Longrack, he does &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; come with a [[Mini-Con]] partner (dammit).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The original version of this mold was also used to make &#039;&#039;[[Universe]]&#039;&#039; [[Ransack (Universe)|Ransack]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Merchandise==&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinobot mini bust&#039;&#039;&#039; (2006)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In 2006, First 4 Figures released a seven-inch tall mini-bust of Dinobot, featuring his upper torso mounted upon a Maximal pedestal. He was sculpted by Ryan Bailey and is limited to 1,996 pieces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:BWRConcept04.jpg|right|thumb|Dinobot&#039;s control art.  The beast head displays a more rigid grill structure.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* It&#039;s been rumored that Dinobot&#039;s first toy borrowed some molding from an unproduced [[Kenner]] &#039;&#039;Jurassic Park&#039;&#039; dino.  There&#039;s no evidence at all to support this, however, and is incredibly unlikely to begin with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[Timelines]] &amp;quot;Darksyde Dinobot&amp;quot; color scheme is actually based on his Tenth Anniversary toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some fans humorously refer to Dinobot&#039;s spinning blade weapon as a &amp;quot;Rotate Blade&amp;quot;. However, both the full-length version of the first &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; toy commercial and a later commercial (starring Dinobot, Waspinator and Tarantulas) refer to the weapon as being his &amp;quot;spinning Veloci-Rotor blades&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Dinobot was second under Megatron before rebelling....probably because he was the only one who knew one end of a blaster from the other&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;:&#039;&#039;Jazz is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.  He is also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Meister&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Jazzg1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Eat floor, dig?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Jazz&#039;&#039;&#039; is [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s right-hand man.  Unlike [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], Prime&#039;s military strategist, Jazz responds well to change and improvisation.  Whatever surprises the Decepticons spring, Jazz can deal.  His position as Special Operations Officer calls for all the skills he possesses, yet he still has time to add some style into everything he does.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An admirer of Earth music of every kind, Jazz loves culture.  More than most other Autobots, he has his finger on the pulse of Earth trends and lingo.  Chances are, Jazz could tell you the status of almost any reality television show and each week&#039;s Top 40 list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz&#039;s personality makes him well-liked among the others of the Ark, especially [[Bumblebee]].  In fact, there is not one Autobot who &#039;&#039;doesn&#039;t&#039;&#039; like or admire Jazz.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Preliminary name:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Jazzz&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Japanese name: &#039;&#039;&#039;Meister&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;French-Canadian name: &#039;&#039;&#039;Saxo&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Italian name: &#039;&#039;&#039;Tigre&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Marvel Comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
====Generation 1====&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;(Events from UK-only stories are in italics.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Jazzg1marvelfirst.jpg|left|thumb|100px|Hey, Prowl, you suck.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz was one of the Autobots who crashed on [[Earth]] four million years ago, waking up in 1984.  Jazz showed an affinity with human pop culture almost immediately, responding to [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]&#039;s non sequitur assertion that his &amp;quot;logic center dictates the most advantageous course of action in any situation&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;Well, that is neat-o, Prowl.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz&#039;s first foray into action came when the [[Decepticon]]s attacked him and his fellow Autobots at [[Witwicky Auto Repairs]], resulting in the kidnapping of [[Sparkplug Witwicky]].  Later, when Sparkplug was rescued and it was learned that the auto repairman had devised a way for the Decepticons to convert [[Earth]] fuel into a usable resource, the Autobots were enraged.  Jazz shot a stream of fire to prevent Sparkplug&#039;s escape, causing the [[human]] to suffer a heart attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It was discovered that after the Autobots crash landed on Earth, a rescue ship was sent after them which was buried somewhere in England.  The [[Man of Iron]], one of its crew, had awakened a number of times in England&#039;s history, and had become a local legend.  Jazz, along with [[Trailbreaker]], [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], and [[Bluestreak]], were dispatched to England under [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s supervision.  Jazz befriended (and kidnapped) a young boy, [[Tommy Harker]], whose dad worked at the castle where the Autobot rescue ship had been partially unearthed.  After questioning the boy, it became apparent that the rescue ship must be destroyed.  At the climax of a battle with the Decepticons over the buried ship, Jazz fired his weaponry down into it, and it was pulverized.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

====Generation 2====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Animated continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice Actor:&#039;&#039; [[Scatman Crothers]], &#039;&#039;[[Wally Burr]]&#039;&#039; (US), [[Kōki Kataoka]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:cybertronjazz.jpg|thumb|Spoiler alert. Haw!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blacker than the inside of a drive shaft -- uh, that&#039;s how Jazz described the north side of Cybertron. The slang-talking operations specialist was on a recon mission to ascertain Cybertron&#039;s bleak energy reserves, and his reports are what prompted the Autobot mission to search for new sources of energy outside of their home world. Jazz served as pilot for the &#039;&#039;[[Ark]]&#039;&#039; until severe asteroid turbulence knocked him from his seat. The Decepticons took advantage of the confusion and attacked, and both vessels and parties crash-landed on Earth. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four million years later, in 1984, the Autobots and Decepticons awoke reformatted to fit in on the planet. Jazz traded in his sleek Cybertronian form for an even sleeker Porsche 935 Turbo. As a lieutenant to [[Optimus Prime]] Jazz was tasked to assemble task forces and special mission teams to counter the Decepticon threat. Jazz accompanied the first mission to an off-shore oil rig, where his wrist-mounted winch and grappling hook came in handy saving Optimus Prime. He used the same line to stop Prime from riding the rapids at [[Sherman Dam]], and to pull [[Bluestreak]] and [[Ironhide]] from an unscheduled lake swim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Jazz is one of the main characters in the series up to season three, only making a few cameos with no lines.  This is because [[Scatman Crothers]] died not long after the movie finished production.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout season one, Jazz is seen giving orders and accompanying [[Optimus Prime]] on almost any mission they undertake.  In season two, Jazz actually uses his light and sound show attack on at least two occasions.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave comic continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
8.2 million years ago, Jazz and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] met [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] in the remains of [[Praxus]]&#039; [[Helix Gardens]] to discuss the worthiness of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optronix]] to lead the Autobots.  Jazz later attended the [[Matrix]]-transfer ceremony at the [[Chamber of the Ancients]]; he attempted to save Optronix - now Optimus Prime - when he was attacked by [[Decepticons]], but was restrained by Grimlock.  When Prime defeated the assassins, Jazz was convinced of his worth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon afterwards, Jazz questioned Prowl&#039;s decision to allow Prime to explore the depths of the planet alone, but was prevented from pressing the issue any further when [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] attacked [[Iacon]] with an army of Decepticons.  Jazz helped direct the battle from the [[Decagon]], but the defenders were soon overwhelmed.  Jazz was forced to begin evacuating important artifacts and hardware from the city, but was unable to finish before the Decepticons overran the Decagon.  He and a handful of Autobots made a desperate last stand, but were saved from extinction when [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] activated the planetary engines, devastating the city and forcing Shockwave&#039;s army to retreat.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7.4 million years ago, Jazz witnessed the [[space bridge]] explosion that seemingly killed Prime and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]].  After the subsequent fragmentation of the Autobot faction, Jazz remained with the Prowl-led Autobots.  He accompanied a group of Autobots to investigate a [[Trypticon (G1)|new mobile battle base]] at the [[Praetorus Wharf]], only to learn that the base was fully operational.  Despite the arrival of reinforcements, the titan was too much for Jazz and his cohorts; only when Shockwave recalled Trypticon to the [[Neutral Territories]] were they saved them from certain doom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Battered, Jazz and the others limped back to Iacon, only to be forced to repel an attack on [[Autobase]] by [[The Fallen]].  Although Jazz, [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], and [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] fought valiantly, the mysterious entity defeated them and archived his objective: freeing [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] from captivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz was among the crew of the &#039;&#039;[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]&#039;&#039; when it crashed on [[Earth]], and awoke in 1984 to battle the Decepticons.  After years of fighting, Jazz and the other Autobots took part in [[Operation Liberation]] in 1998, a joint human/Autobot operation that defeated and captured the Earth-bound Decepticons.  However, the &#039;&#039;[[Ark II]]&#039;&#039;, which was meant to convey the Autobots, the captured Decepticons, and a number of humans back to Cybertron was sabotaged by General [[Robert Hallo]], sending Jazz and his comrades to the bottom of the [[Arctic Ocean]].  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few years later, Optimus Prime awoke Jazz and a number of other Autobots, to combat the sinister [[Lazarus]].  He aided in the cleanup of Lazarus&#039; latest target, the [[SmitCo]] oil refinery, and then moved on to Lazarus&#039; base, which had been taken over by a revived Megatron and his deadly &#039;metal virus&#039;.  Jazz and the others briefly battled the Decepticons, but were stopped in their tracks when Hallo dropped a nuclear bomb on them.  The virus absorbed most of the blast, leaving the Transformers unharmed, but continued to expand across the countryside.  Jazz remained behind with a team to combat the virus, while Optimus Prime took a contingent of warriors to combat Megatron in [[San Francisco]].  Armed with [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]-designed blasters to combat the virus, Jazz and his squad fought bravely, despite the blasters draining their energy and the well-meaning interference of the Canadian Army.  But soon the virus overwhelmed them, forcing Wheeljack to sacrifice himself to destroy it.  Jazz mourned over Wheeljack&#039;s fallen form.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some time later, Jazz participated in a battle in [[Alaska]] over possession of an escape pod containing [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], only to be forced to flee with the other Autobots when Shockwave arrived from Cybertron, proclaiming a new era of peace.  While Optimus Prime and a number of other Autobots surrendered to Shockwave&#039;s lieutenant [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], Jazz was left behind on Earth to command a small team of Autobots.  After Magnus and Prime had departed, Jazz, [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]], and [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] returned to the battlefield, but found no trace of the pod or Scourge.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kaon&#039;&#039;&#039; is a Decepticon-controlled city-state in the southern hemisphere of [[Cybertron_(planet)|Cybertron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Far from the civilized metropolitan titans of the north half of the planet, Kaon was populated by a radical people unsatisfied with the [[Autobot High Council]] and its maintained status quo.  It was here that the industrial creations, the [[smelting pool]]s, were first used to melt down living beings, a practice other city-states found horrible and barbaric.  Disaffected, unruly, and thirsty for blood, Kaon was an obvious breeding ground for [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron&#039;s]] underground [[Decepticon]] movement.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its capital is the fortress city of &#039;&#039;&#039;Kolkular&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

:Kolkular is one of two distiguishable cities molded into the surface of Primus&#039; planet mode, designed specifically to match its appearance in [[Dreamwave]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;The War Within&#039;&#039; comics and DK&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]&#039;&#039;.  In Primus&#039; robot mode, Kolkular ends up on the underside of Primus&#039; heel, which is probably symbolic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The other city is the Autobot city-state [[Iacon]], which, similar to the depiction on the Cybertron map in the &#039;&#039;Ultimate Guide&#039;&#039;, is placed on the opposite end of the toy from Kolkular.   Its placement, however, is likely a coincidence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{disambig3|Soundwave}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Soundwave is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]]. In the Japanese series, he later took the name &#039;&#039;&#039;Soundblaster&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Soundwave_mixalot.jpg|thumb|300px|Big butts: preferred. Lying: impossible.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Soundwave&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]&#039;s most reliable troops, and has positioned himself comfortably and irreplaceably in Megatron&#039;s upper command structure, and stands at the Decepticon leader&#039;s side as confidant. Soundwave guards his place in the hierarchy fiercely.  Though loyal to Megatron, the other Decepticons see him as a two-faced snake.  As Communications Officer, Soundwave sees and hears all, and will not hesitate to use blackmail to keep himself high in Megatron&#039;s esteem.  The other Decepticons wouldn&#039;t mind abandoning him on the battlefield -- if they thought Megatron would let them get away with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave commands a legion of cassette troops to carry out tasks big and small.  Sometimes he lets them all out to watch impromptu gladiator games.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Marvel Comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;(Note: Events from the UK-only comic stories are in italics.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Contentedfools.jpg|left|thumb|200px|[[Ravage]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and Soundwave, the first Decepticons.]]&lt;br /&gt;
After the Transformers&#039; awakening on Earth, Soundwave served quietly under Megatron, before he was overthrown by Shockwave. Under Shockwave&#039;s command, Soundwave attacked the [[Blackrock Aerospace Plant]] and secured it for Decepticon use. {{storylink|Warrior School!}} The plant&#039;s facilities were used to create the [[Constructicons]], who built a massive radio dish that Soundwave used to beam a message back to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Next Best Thing to Being There!}} &#039;&#039;Soundwave assumed leadership of the Decepticons a short time later and lead them against the Autobots during the &amp;quot;Dinobot Hunt,&amp;quot; during a brief period when both Megatron and Shockwave were missing in action.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Dinobot Hunt}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Megatron resurfaced, rendered immobile in a Wyoming coal mine due to lack of fuel, Soundwave sped to his rescue, re-energizing him. {{storylink| I, Robot Master!}} &#039;&#039;Using the splintered state of the Decepticon forces to his advantage, Soundwave worked both sides of the field, reporting to both Megatron and the returned Shockwave, without the other&#039;s knowledge. When Shockwave learned that the human [[Buster Witwicky]] had begun to suffer [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]-induced visions of the [[combiner|next leap in Transformer evolution]], Soundwave reported this to Megatron, prompting him to battle Shockwave for leadership. The Decepticons&#039; human ally, [[Robot Master]], televised the battle, much to Soundwave&#039;s distaste, and in order to prevent the Decepticons from looking like fools, interrupted the duel and insisted that they agree to a joint leadership.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Second Generation!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Laserbeakwarriorschool.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Fly, my pretties, fly!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;When the [[Robot-Master]] hoax the Decepticons were perpetrating was threatened by the investigate work of [[Joy Meadows]], Soundwave was instrumental in ending the conflict that ensued between the Decepticons and the Dinobots by holding the reporter hostage and destroying her footage.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|In the National Interest!}} &#039;&#039;Not long thereafter, when the deranged future Decepticon, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], travelled back in time, Soundwave was intruiged by the fact that he was unable to scan his mind to discern the truth of his identity. Siding with Megatron when conflict erupted, Soundwave and his leader were buried under an avalanche by Galvatron, and then rescued by the Autobots in the name of forming an alliance to defeat their common enemy.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Target 2006}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It would be some time before Soundwave came back to the fore, and his return to the spotlight was an ignominious one. With Megatron having apparently died, Soundwave was now once again under Shockwave&#039;s command, and, while patrolling on the Decepticon&#039;s mobile island base, found himself attacked and subdued by the time-travelling freelance peace-keeping agent, [[Death&#039;s Head]], and tricked into giving up information on the whereabouts of Galvatron.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Hunters!}} &#039;&#039;Although Death&#039;s Head&#039;s attempts to track down the Decepticon met with failure, Galvatron was ultimately entombed in lava, where he was later discovered by [[Susan Hoffman]]. Soundwave observed a televised broadcast of her discovery, and he and the [[Combaticon]]s attempted to destroy Galvatron with explosives planted around the volcano in question. After a battle with the [[Throttlebot]]s, Soundwave found that he was unable to remotely detonate the explosives planted around the volcano thanks to Blaster jamming his signal.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Ladies&#039; Night!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Soundwave uscomics.jpg|thumb|left|G2 before it was cool.]]When Shockwave was removed from power, Soundwave smoothly transitioned to serving under the new Decepticon leader Ratbat, and helped to operate his [[Realvision]] playback system to decode data from Autobot tapes [[Grandslam]] and [[Raindance]]. {{storylink|The Flames of Boltax!}} The tapes, it was discovered, contained information on the [[Underbase]], the power of which was soon claimed by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], who immediately targeted the Earth. Soundwave co-lead the defence of New York alongside [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], but was deactivated by a blast of cosmic power from Starscream. {{storylink|Dark Star!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It would be some time before Soundwave was operational again, but was back on his feet by the time that Starscream - now a [[Pretender]] - was busy doubting his self-worth.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Fallen Star}} He continued to operate under the command of the new Decepticon Earth commander, [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;In 2007, in the alternate future world of [[Earth-120185]], Soundwave was second-in-command of the Decepticon forces under Shockwave, and succeeded him after Death&#039;s Head assassinated him on the orders of [[Unicron]].&#039;&#039; {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}} &#039;&#039;In 2008, Soundwave entered into an alliance with the [[Quintesson]]s, arranging to attack the Autobots as part of a larger plan. He was, however, unaware of the aliens&#039; true plans to take control of Cybertron, and found himself double-crossed when the Quintessons ambushed the Decepticons en route to their attack on the Autobots. The Autobots, led by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], saved Soundwave&#039;s forces from the Quintessons, and they joind forces to repel the Quintesson invasion.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Space Pirates!}} &#039;&#039;Finally, in 2009, Soundwave led the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] back in time to 1989, where they briefly participated in the &amp;quot;Time Wars,&amp;quot; before returning to their own time in the midst of the conflict to save their own hides.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Time Wars}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Earthforce====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;In the tangent timeline that is home to the Autobot [[Earthforce]] team, Soundwave nominally served on Megatron&#039;s side during the Decepticon Civil War, but, once again, was not above exploiting the conflict for his own ends. When an energon shipment was hijacked by Shockwave&#039;s forces thanks to information he had given them, Megatron came to suspect the presence of a traitor in his ranks, but ironically assigned Soundwave to identify them. To keep his own duplicity a secret, he sets up [[Wildrider]] to take the fall, and Megatron destroys the [[Stunticon]].&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Secrets}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Approached by Starscream with a plan to make them both Decepticon leaders, Soundwave joined forces with the schemer and lured Megatron and Shockwave to an airport, tipping off the Autobots to their location. With the two leaders thus occupied, Soundwave and Starscream take control.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Internal Affairs!}}&#039;&#039; Subsequently, Soundwave led an all-out attack on the Earthforce base as a diversion, while Starscream attempts to plunder an oil tanker. Starscream meets with failure, however, leading Soundwave to withdraw his forces, and wonder if he should not take leadership for himself alone.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}} &#039;&#039;Starscream is aware of Soundwave&#039;s goals, and when he is attacked by a group of alien assassins, suspects that he has ordered the hit and strikes back at him. Soundwave is able to convince him he is not responsible - in actuality, it was the work of Megatron and Soundwave.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|External Forces!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Learning that human reporter [[Irwin Spoon]] had secured an interview with the Autobots that could potentially resolve public view of the Transformer war. Seeking to prevent this, he has the Stunticons captured the journalist, and although the Autobots are able to rescue him, a carefully planted [[cerebro-shell]] ensures that the story Irwin writes is anything but accurate.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|End of the Road!}}&lt;br /&gt;

===Animated continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;The Transformers&#039;&#039;====&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice Actor:&#039;&#039; [[Frank Welker]] (US), [[Issei Masamune]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Cybertronsoundwave.jpg|thumb||left|I&#039;ll umm...blind you with light?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to his arrival on Earth, Soundwave had the questionably useful [[altmode]] of a space-age lamp-post. This allowed him to get as close to Autobot headquarters as the street leading into [[Iacon]], but thankfully his chest-dwelling minion [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] could snoop even closer. The loyal Laserbeak overheard talk of the Autobot mission to seek new energy sources off Cybertron, which prompted the fateful Decepticon interception mission that eventually landed both teams on Earth.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Immediately after the Transformers awakened on Earth in 1984, Soundwave played an essential role in the generation of [[energon cube]]s and the formation of plans for a new space cruiser to return the Decepticons to Cybertron.  He sounded really cool when he talked about these, too. Soundwave was reformatted as a portable casette player, which allowed him to dupe a grabby and none-too-questioning [[Spike Witwicky]] into carrying his shrunken form into the [[Ark]] headquarters.  This was to happen many times to the seemingly tape-deck addicted citizens of Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, he used his mind-reading talents to acquire an antimatter formula for the Decepticons from the brain of [[Chip Chase]]. One of Soundwave&#039;s most notable misadventures came in in 1985, when, operating a plan conceived by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], he brainwashed humans with ultrasonic vibrations inside the Decepticon-built night club [[Dancitron]] in [[New York City]], leading to a confrontation with his Autobot Communications Officer counterpart, [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], beginning a lasting rivalry between the two.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Soundwaveg1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|We&#039;ll get you next time, Gadget.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave rarely displayed much emotion, and only infrequently exhibited any cunning and self-serving traits. He came across as extremely loyal to Megatron, even going so far as to recover the mortally wounded leader after being left for dead at the Battle of Autobot City in 2005. But while Soundwave was loyal, he was far from stupid, and kept his mouth shut when Megatron was subsequently ejected into space, and although he did suggest himself as a replacement leader, he again loyally served Megatron when he returned as [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the year 2006, although operating in a less prominent capacity for most of the time, Soundwave played a prominent role in Galvatron&#039;s attempt to learn the secret of a sonic weapon on the planet [[Eurythma]], where sound and music were the way of life, leaving Soundwave entranced by the planet&#039;s perfect melodies. Recording each piece of the harmony that formed the devastating sonic effect, Soundwave was defeated when the Eurythmans countered the harmony with white noise, and was again pulled into a confrontation with Blaster, who erased his recordings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====&#039;&#039;Fight!  Super Robot Lifeform Transformer&#039;&#039; manga=====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave and his cassettes had stolen some top secret information and were being pursued through Tokyo by the Autobots.  His chase eventually ended when Bumblebee got the drop on him with his patented &amp;quot;Bumble-Kick&amp;quot; and shattered his chest and the stolen information within.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The manga maintained something resembling continuity: during his appearance in the third issue of the book, Soundwave was shown to have bandages over his chest.  Adorable.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====&#039;&#039;Fight!  Super Robot Lifeform Trasnformer&#039;&#039; story pages=====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the second &amp;quot;Anime Theater&amp;quot; story page, titled &#039;&#039;Sick em, Hound!&#039;&#039;, the Autobots decided to keep themselves in shape by having a friendly race.  Soundwave learned of the race and set up a trap within a narrow canyon.  He walled the Autobots up within the canyon and began shooting them all.  Luckily, [[Hound]] arrived on the scene and delivered a powerful punch to his chest, shattering his tape door.  Soundwave immediately fled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;Headmasters&#039;&#039;====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after the arrival of the [[Headmaster]]s, Soundwave and Blaster engaged in their final clash in the Arctic circle as the Autobots and Decepticons were in the process of searching for the missing Autobot [[Matrix]] of Leadership. The two opponents inflicted fatal damage on each other, and Soundwave&#039;s body exploded even as Blaster collapsed, but his fragments were recovered by his cassettes. Using reconstructive technology from the planet [[Master]], the leader of the Decepticon Headmasters, [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] successfully rebuilt and resurrected Soundwave as &#039;&#039;&#039;Soundblaster&#039;&#039;&#039; - essentially identical to his former self, except for his predominantly black color scheme. As Soundblaster, Soundwave served the same role as he had ever done under the leadership of Galvatron and later Scorponok, frequently embarking on spying missions with [[Ratbat]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====&#039;&#039;Headmasters&#039;&#039; manga=====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Decepticons had been vanquished from Earth, [[Scorponok (G1)|Mega Zarak]] ordered Soundblaster to remain on Earth in secret to act as a spy for the Decepticons.  Soundwave made his presence and intentions known almost instantly (not a very good spy) by kicking [[Wheelie]] square in the face and taking the [[Spike Witwicky|Witwicky]] family hostage. Strangely enough, the Autobots considered these acts to be hostile. [[Chromedome]] was left powerless to do anything but surrender, as [[Slugfest]] and [[Overkill]] brutalized [[Spike Witwicky|Spike]] and threatened [[Carly]].  Daniel finally snapped and beat the living crap out of the two Cassette dinosaurs, leaving Soundblaster open to Chromedome&#039;s poorly named &amp;quot;Master-Chrome Hurricane Throw to the End of Hell!&amp;quot;  Chromedome chucked Soundblaster over the horizon where he landed near the rogue Decepticon, [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In &#039;&#039;[[When Continents Collide]]&#039;&#039;, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] calls Soundwave a &amp;quot;blundering tape-filled idiot.&amp;quot;  This is notable because it is hilarious. Also, Soundwave is really, really whiny in these stories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[3H]] &#039;&#039;Tales of the Beast Wars&#039;&#039; comics, Soundwave is one of the ancient warriors who appears from [[J&#039;nwan]] to help battle the warlord [[Shokaract]].&lt;br /&gt;

===Dreamwave Generation 1 continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave was among the Decepticons who quickly joined Shockwave&#039;s forces upon returning to Cybertron.  It seems clear, however, that Soundwave had little loyalty to him, as he readily joins up with Starscream when the [[Seeker]] decides to return to Earth and take over.  Though Soundwave feigned subservience to Starscream, it is later revealed that he had been serving Megatron the entire time in secret.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Came with [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]] in the US and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] in Japan. Prior to his release as a Transformer, Soundwave was a Microchange Cassetteman Sony Walkman, which came with a set of non-functioning headphones to listen to the silence of his non-functioning tapes.  His weapons turned into imitation batteries to power his nonexistent circuitry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: VS-Y Soundwave came with Rumble and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: As part of the Japanese [[Headmasters (franchise)|Headmasters]] series, Soundwave was [[redeco]]ed and [[retool]]ed so that he could hold 2 Cassettes in his chest at once. He came packaged with Buzzsaw.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Soundwave with Wingthing&#039;&#039;&#039; (Action Master, 1990)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: [[Action Master]] Soundwave is a non-transforming action figure who combines elements of his cartoon model and original toy. He is compatible with any other Action Master weapon or vehicle. He came packaged with his new partner [[Wingthing]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Notably, his color scheme is very &#039;&#039;&#039;loud&#039;&#039;&#039;, being bright shades of fluorescent yellow, pink and blue.  This is one time fans can actually get away with describing a toy&#039;s color scheme as [[neon]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Due to the lack of fiction, it is &#039;&#039;possible&#039;&#039; that this incarnation is in fact an alternate-universe version of Soundwave, or possibly a new character altogether.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Soundwavecommercial.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Say hello to my leetle friend!]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Though Soundwave&#039;s toy is a microcassette recorder, his fictional appearances depict him as a stereo cassette deck or Walkman.  (Likewise, his microcassette tapes are depicted as regular audio cassettes.)&lt;br /&gt;
* Animation from early &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; commercials featured a Soundwave model colored in very light blue, versus the dark blue used later.  Also, instead of the cassettes ejecting themselves from his chest, he reached into his chest compartment with his own fingers and threw the (tiny) tapes into the air.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Marvel US comics chose a purple scheme for Soundwave.  This could have been an error, an early look for him that was dropped in other media, or perhaps an attempt to distinguish him from the other Decepticons, who were mostly blue (especially since blacks also ended up as blues in the industry&#039;s then-limited color pallette).  The Marvel UK comics colored him blue like everywhere else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Bm soundwave.jpg|thumb|right|Soundwave gets slagged by Vehicons, and Nightscream escapes. How&#039;s that for injustice?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Soundwave&#039;s computer model was used for one of the generic transformers in Beast Machines seen in [[Nightscream]]&#039;s flashback being cornered by [[Vehicon]] drones just before Nightscream fled into the lower levels of Cybertron.  Though the model was recolored, it was still really &amp;lt;span title=&amp;quot;This may not be an actual word&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;cursor:help;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;Soundwavey,&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; causing much confusion among fans.&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Soundwave&#039;s character model showed up numerous times in various color schemes as a generic background character in [[Armada (television series)|Armada]].&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Sideways]] listened to music using a tape deck resembling Soundwave in the [[Cybertron (television series)|Cybertron]] cartoon. Later, after a new [[Planet X (Cybertron)|Planet X]] was found, &#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;&#039; [[Soundwave (Cybertron)|Soundwave]] held tape deck Soundwave in his arms.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{disambig2|the Generation 1 Decepticon|the Energon Terrorcon|Battle Ravage (Energon)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Ravage is a [[Decepticon]] and [[Predacon]] in the [[Generation 1]] and [[Beast Era]] [[continuity family|continuity families]].  He is a chronic time-traveler.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Ravageboxart.jpg|right|thumb|350px|This is  [[Ravage#Trivia|every comic book panel]] Ravage has ever been in.  Well, okay, sometimes they rotate him a bit.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No Decepticon has a stronger loyalty to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] than &#039;&#039;&#039;Ravage&#039;&#039;&#039;.  Ravage believes unwaveringly in the Decepticon cause, and Megatron embodies that cause.  To serve Megatron, Ravage has become the most efficient and deadly war machine under his command.  He hides himself in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike with grim accuracy.  His name is synonymous with stealth.  His survivors are few.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ravage&#039;s only weakness is bright light, which can temporarily blind him.  Perhaps his absolute loyalty to Megatron can blind him as well.&lt;br /&gt;

==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
According to the UK book [[Dinobot War]], Ravage&#039;s cassette tape mode is disguised as the soundtrack to &#039;&#039;[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cats_(musical) Cats].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Ravage was loyal bodyguard for the Overlords, the Autobots that once ruled all of Cybertron, for Generations.  He witnessed as their planet-wide rule crumbled into a loose collection of feuding city-states.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;During the Vos-Tarn war, Ravage, his partner [[Nightstalker]], Megatron and Optimus Prime.&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;While escorting the last Overlord, an enfeebled mechanoid who required constant re-energization to survive, out of the city of Tarn during the Vos-Tarn war, they were pinned down. Though the Overlord was near death, Ravage refused to give the Overlord any of his energy, instead allying himself with Megatron, whom he believed would be the future ruler of Cybertron.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;As for Nightstalker, he blew himself up in order to take out the forces that pinned them down, proving just how gullibly loyal Autobots could be. Ironic how Ravage would make that same sacrifice for &#039;&#039;his&#039;&#039; leader millions of years later.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
One of the original team of Decepticons that accompanied [[Megatron]] on the attack of the &#039;&#039;[[Ark]]&#039;&#039; spacecraft, Ravage was reformatted by [[Teletraan-1]] as an audiocassette to better blend in for operations based on Earth. Ravage served loyally as a Decepticon spy. He was one of the first Transformers to have been encountered by a human, as workers investigating a destroyed power station fell afoul of Ravage who pounced upon them and frightened them away. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly thereafter, Ravage accompanied Soundwave on an infiltration mission to gather data from Teletraan 1. Though Soundwave was discovered, Ravage was captured in an energy net and held captive. The Decepticon spy figured into a disinformation plot hatched by the Autobots, who purposely leaked the presence of a rocket fuel depository in the outlying desert. In truth, there was no rocket base -- Autobot [[Hound]] projected a holographic illusion in the hopes of luring the Decepticons into a trap. The Autobots allowed Ravage to escape and report back to Megatron, who easily saw through the ruse.&lt;br /&gt;

Although he never shows up in the comic, he is mentioned as being recruited along with fellow [[Mini-Cassette]]s [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] and [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]] by the Predacon [[Divebomb]], but for some reason left them soon afterwards to become an operative for the Tripredacus Council.&lt;br /&gt;

:He looks like a Maximal, but he is really a Predacon. His thirst for the hunt can only be satiated by attacking many Maximals. Keep an eye on the darkness, for that is where Shadow Panther lives.&lt;br /&gt;

:The process of becoming a Predacon has cost Ravage some of his early Decepticon memories. His ability to become invisible is called Reflect Shade. His orders are to rid the planet [[Earth#Beast Wars|Energois]] of Transformers.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Tripredacus Agent&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:This lone assassin may look like a Maximal, but his irradiated spark is that of a Predacon. He was saved (and presumably rebuilt into a Transmetal 2) by the Vok. He can hide his energy signature, thanks to his unusual spark. In his history as a Predacon, he has adopted many names to better suit his covert line of work. His weapon is a low-radiation proton bomb launcher. As he loves the dark, the light is his weakness.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Ravage is one of the few Decepticon warriors who was granted amnesty at the end of the Great War and reformatted into a Predacon.  He was sent by the [[Tripredacus Council]] to capture [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], clean up any messes he might have made, and deal with the rest of the beast warriors. Ravage made the trip to prehistoric Earth in a specially modified stealth [[Transwarp Cruiser]]. He successfully contacted the [[Maximal]]s and allied with them to capture Megatron. Due to the stealth capabilities of his ship, and the fact that [[Tarantulas]] was also an agent of the council, Ravage and the Maximals easily captured Megatron and imprisoned him. {{Storylink|The Agenda, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron, however, had one more card to play. He knew that Ravage wasn&#039;t going to let any of the Beast warriors live, and also knew he had the one thing that would turn Ravage to his side. Using a fragment from the [[Golden Disk]], Megatron played Ravage the message on it from the original [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. Ravage, still driven by loyalty to &#039;&#039;his&#039;&#039; Megatron, joined the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] and turned on the Maximals. {{Storylink|The Agenda, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His latest treachery was short lived. During the assault on the [[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]], [[Rattrap]] infiltrated his ship and caused an explosion that destroyed the vessel and Ravage himself. His head, seemingly all that remained of him, was knocked into the water below the Axalaon by one of Tarantulas&#039; [[spider-drone]]s. {{Storylink|The Agenda, Part 3}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Magmatron recovered Ravage&#039;s heavily-damaged torso, which still contained his spark. He then inserted the spark into a blank [[protoform]], and Ravage was reborn. In his Transmetal 2 body, he and his fellow Predacons, under the command of Magmatron, sought out [[Razorbeast]]&#039;s band of Maximals. Viewing from a safe distance, Ravage ordered his soldiers to engage. Additional Maximal forced arrived, however, and Ravage&#039;s forces were defeated. Ravage retreated into the wilderness. {{storylink|The Gathering}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(&#039;&#039;Despite being a continuity that borrows heavily from other G1 continuities, where it is suggested that Ravage is completely loyal to Megatron, before attempting to revive Ravage, Magmatron suggests that Ravage&#039;s most important loyalty is to Ravage himself.  This could simply be Magmatron&#039;s opinion, however, and is not necessarily indicative of Ravage&#039;s true loyalties.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Ravage never uses his robot mode in this story. Instead, he stands up on his hind legs in beast mode.&#039;&#039;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;Primeval Dawn&#039;&#039; comics====&lt;br /&gt;
An undead [[Vok]]-infested [[Tarantulas]] revived Ravage (in his Tripredacus Agent TM2 body) to help boost his forces. The remnants of Ravage&#039;s previous body were recycled by the Vok to re-create [[Tigatron]]. {{storylink|Universe (comic)|Primeval Dawn}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Ravage&#039;s part in the Binaltech storyline is a bit more complicated than past incarnations. Several years prior to the line&#039;s continuity, government-run [[Intelligence and Information Institute]] (or Triple I) unearths a msyterious black box during an archaeological dig. After years of probing, the container, dubbed &amp;quot;Schrödinger&#039;s Box&amp;quot; by the group&#039;s scientists, was revealed to be the flight recorder of Predacon Ravage&#039;s stealth ship, containing a copy of the feline&#039;s personality and memory engrams. When the scientists found a way to communicate with this personality, it offered them its knowledge of future events in exchange for a new body. Triple-I agreed, and used a fake Binaltech project to provide their part of the bargain. However, to truly bring the new Ravage to life, Triple-I stole the present-day Ravage - who had been somehow captured by the [[Earth Defense Command]] and stasis-locked into his cassette mode - and implanted him into the new Ravage, thereby &#039;fusing&#039; the old and new Ravages into one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This new Ravage, however, had no intention of fulfilling his end of the bargain and, after eliminating his benefactors and learning to his shock that history did &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; change in his faction&#039;s favor, decided to rectify his mistake. First on his agenda was his former commander, Megatron; stealing an Autobot shuttle, he located and repaired the [[Kronosphere]] and - during a decisive battle between Megatron&#039;s and Optimus Prime&#039;s forces that would have normally ended with the Autobots being forced off of Cybertron and into their moon bases - turned the weapon on his own faction, trapping Megatron and his crew in a space-time rift. This alteration in the timeline served two purposes: first, it would give the Autobots the chance to retake Cybertron, which would then lead to them having to face off against the oncoming [[Unicron]] alone, severely weakening them in the process. The second, and more important, purpose was to keep Megatron alive and in good health, thus preventing him from becoming the insane [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], and allowing him to lead the Decepticons to victory over the battle-weary Autobots. Ravage also reformatted [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] into a new Binaltech body of his own, so he could lead the remaining Decepticons in Megatron&#039;s absence, and secretly drailed many of the Autobots&#039; supply missions, further weakening them for their battle with the Chaos Bringer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately for him, the Autobot named [[Overdrive]] became aware of Ravage&#039;s meddling in history, thanks to his acute sensitivity of the timestream, and - with the help of [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] - captured the wayward Decepticon and forced a confession out of him. Ravage, however, was not without a trump card, revealing that his alterations &#039;&#039;may&#039;&#039; prevent the deaths of many of the Autobots destined to die in the normal timeline (which, as a distinction between the two, was dubbed &#039;Prime Time&#039; by Wheeljack, Ravage&#039;s altered timeline being called &#039;Ravage Time&#039;), though in the grand scheme of things, only Optimus could not be considered expendable, as he contained the one thing that could bring down Unicron (the [[Autobot]] [[Matrix of Leadership]]). By the time of his capture, however, Unicron had already been sighted on a collision course with Cybertron and, despite the temptation of preventing future deaths among his ranks, Optimus decided Ravage&#039;s plans to be too dangerous to allow to come to fruitition. To that end, he ropes [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] into helping him fly to Unicron in a preemptive strike against the monstrous threat, while the other Autobots (left in the command of [[Skids (G1)|Skids]]), were to initiate &amp;quot;Operation: Distant Thunder&amp;quot;, which involved sending a copy of Wheeljack&#039;s memories of what Ravage confessed to them, back in time to a point prior to the Decepticon panther&#039;s meddling, via the energies located on [[Dinobot Island]]. If &amp;quot;Operation: Distant Thunder&amp;quot; worked as planned, Ravage&#039;s plans would be foiled, and any tremors in the timeline he caused would be smoothed over by &amp;quot;Project Body Shop&amp;quot; (aka, the Binaltech project). However, just as Skids gives the signal to transmit the memory engrams, the Autobot base is rocked by an entire fleet of Decepticons. It is unknown as of now if &amp;quot;Operation: Distant Thunder&amp;quot; succeeded or not, or what Ravage&#039;s fate will be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Beast Wars Metals&#039;&#039; manga===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;(Note: although it picks up after the first season, the Beast Wars Metals manga is &#039;&#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039;&#039; in-continuity with the television series.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the &#039;&#039;Beast Wars Metals&#039;&#039; manga, Metals Jaguar was portrayed as G1 Jaguar&#039;s  homicidal son, with Jaguar taking the design of the Happy Meal Panther toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kids Stuff Read-Along book===&lt;br /&gt;
Ravage immediately recognized what a hydro electric station was, a method of generating power used on Cybertron &amp;quot;way way back in the mists of time,&amp;quot; when Transformers were not much more advanced in science than humans are now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This suggests that Ravage is among the oldest of the Decepticons (even Megatron only feigned familiarity with this form of technology), or that he&#039;s a serious student of ancient energy generation techniques.&lt;br /&gt;

His tail/flanks separate to form a non-firing blaster, while his underbelly forms a water-shooting &amp;quot;gut gun&amp;quot; that can be used in either mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Much later, this toy was offered through Hasbro&#039;s online collector service under the name &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Tripredacus Agent&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;, with an online bio indicating he was the same character as Ravage (then called &amp;quot;Tripredacus Agent&amp;quot; due to [[trademark]] isuues).&lt;br /&gt;

: &#039;&#039;Beast Wars Metals&#039;&#039; Jaguar is a heavy [[retool]]ing of [[Transmetal]] Cheetor, just as Ravage&#039;s CG model in the show is an altered Transmetal Cheetor.  He transforms into a robotic big cat, with flip-out thrusters for a third &amp;quot;flight&amp;quot; mode.  His forearms each have a spring-loaded flip out pistol stub, which can be extended with add-on barrels that clip to his rear legs in beast mode.  his tal also can detach to forma whip-weapon, but he doesn&#039;t hold it very well.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: This Wal-Mart [[exclusive]] is a redeco of --wait, can you guess?-- Transmetal 2 Cheetor, in black, silver, and gold, transforming into a monstrous techno-organic (but not [[technorganic]]) big cat.  He has a spring-loaded missile launcher on his cat-mode back that can be removed and used as a hand-held weapon, plus his tail detaches to forma hand-held flail.  His left forearm has a flip-up blaster-shield (of dubious usefulness), while flipping up a panel on his right-rear leg reveals his [[spark crystal]].&lt;br /&gt;

This is a toy of many &amp;quot;firsts&amp;quot;... not only is he the first &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; character with two distinctly-different toys, he&#039;s the first Decepticon Alternator with a original mold (well, alongside [[Rumble]], but still), &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; the first &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; character to have a non-humanoid &amp;quot;robot&amp;quot; mode, as his non-car form is now a quadrupedal big cat.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Coming packaged at random on carded &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; toys during 1986, this is a soft-rubber version of Ravage in his jaguar mode.  He --like all Decepticon [[Decoy]]s-- was available in both purple and red, with the red version being considerably rarer.  These are not erasers!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* Ravage&#039;s original packaging art is by far the most-copied depiction of any Transformer.  It was, of course, adapted for his &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Universe (Marvel Comics)|Transformers Universe]]&#039;&#039; profile [http://www.ntfa.net/universe/english/index.php?act=view&amp;amp;char=Ravage], but was also used (twice) in 1985&#039;s &amp;quot;back-of-the-box&amp;quot; battle scene [http://www.botchthecrab.com/galleryImage.asp?gallery=7&amp;amp;image=33], was copied in licensed coloring books and storybooks, and the pose also showed up repeatedly in the Marvel Comics.   In &amp;quot;[[Time Wars, Part 2]]&amp;quot; (Marvel UK #200), artist [[Robin Smith]] copied the art multiple times across several subsequent panels.  Yikes.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;Transmutate is an unaligned Transformer from the [[Beast Wars]] series.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Transmutate.jpg|thumbnail|right|250px|&amp;lt;strike&amp;gt;MU-tilate. MU-tant&amp;lt;/strike&amp;gt; SPAKER!!!.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Transmutate&#039;&#039;&#039; is a mutant Transformer, partially [[Transmetal]], born from a heavily-damaged [[stasis pod]]. The creature possesses very little intelligence and is utterly innocent in personality, curious and childlike.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, it also contains inconceivable destructive power to boot, making it extremely dangerous to keep unsuprevised and uncontained. Though it has no alternate form, it does have the ability to fly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Voice actor:&#039;&#039;&#039; [[Susan Blu]] (US), [[Haruna Ikezawa]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both factions considered Transmutate to be too dangerous to recruit, and decided to do away with it, but by different means. This caused considerable concern for both [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] and [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]]. Silverbolt felt it was a [[Maximal|Maximal&#039;s]] duty to protect all sentient life, and Rampage simply found a kindred spirit in Transmutate&#039;s tortured existence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Transmutate managed to befriend both Transformers, which caused some friction between them. Eventually, they came to blows. Transmutate sacrificed itself in order to save the two Transformers from killing each other.&lt;br /&gt;

==Toys==&lt;br /&gt;
===Beast Wars===&lt;br /&gt;
Transmutate was never sold as an individual toy. Rather, it was only available with the first two waves of Beast Wars 10th Anniversary toys in 2006; each of the first six releases had a part to &amp;quot;Trans-Mutate&amp;quot; packaged with it. All six parts combined to forma non-transformable figure with limited articulation... but the simple fact that an official figure of a one-episode show character got &#039;&#039;made&#039;&#039; is itself an extraordinary occurence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Dinobot is a [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] and [[Maximal]] from the [[Beast Era]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Dinobotbwx.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Predicons are overrated Maximals give me more honor oooo honor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinobot&#039;&#039;&#039; is a Predacon ruled by honor.  He lives to die gloriously in battle.  When he aided [[Megatron_(BW)|Megatron]] in the theft of the [[Golden Disc]] under the order of [[Cryotek]], Dinobot believed he was in the pursuit of endless glory.  But when he and his Predacon peers crashed on a mysterious planet alongside a Maximal exploration vessel, his desire to be on the winning side turned him to the Maximal team.  At first he feared his growing sense of right and wrong would clash with the demands of his Predacon heritage -- but perhaps they are not mutually exclusive after all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;Voice Actor:&#039;&#039; [[Scott McNeil]] (US), [[Keiji Fujiwara]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:BWDinobot_arrival.jpg|left|thumb|Feathers are for those Jurassic Park 3 losers]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Immediately after crash landing on [[Earth]], Dinobot turned on Megatron, claiming the Predacon commander had led them to the wrong planet.  Unfazed by Dinobot&#039;s tirade, Megatron had [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]] blast him, and left him for dead.  Dinobot &lt;br /&gt;
left the Predacons and laid in wait for the Maximals to return to their base.  Challenging [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus]] to a duel, Dinobot was determined to lead one faction or another and gain the glory he desperately sought. {{storylink|Beast Wars, Part 1}} During the duel, Dinobot displayed a rare amount of honor, fair play, and self sacrifice and won the respect of Optimus, who asked him to join the Maximals.  This didn&#039;t sit well with the other Maximals, particularly [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], but as the series went on the two became a strange sort of friends. {{storylink|Beast Wars, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:2char8.jpg |thumb|right|&amp;quot;When reality alters, the [[Generation 1|future]] alters with it! With the Golden Disk, Michael Bay&#039;s power is limitless!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a Maximal, Dinobot still displayed strong Predacon tendancies.  He was usually more willing to go to the extreme in terms of tactics, use whatever weapons the Maximals had, and often advocated kicking the Predacons when they were down.  He also proved to be fairly introspective, and did not miss the gravity of his own situation should the Maximals ever win the Beast Wars. {{storylink|Victory (Beast Wars episode)|Victory}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the destruction of the [[Planet Buster]], and it became obvious that they were on Earth, Dinobot had a few crises of character.  His honor and growing sense of doing the right thing were coming into direct conflict with his desires to be on the winning side and gain eternal glory.  He broke into the Predacon [[Darkside|base]] and stole the golden disks from Megatron, hiding the one from Cybertron and taking the [[Vok|Alien]] disk back to the [[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]].  Hiding the theft from his Maximal comrades, Dinobot agonized over the contents of the disk from Cybertron.  He knew that the knowledge on the disk would make Megatron powerful enough to win the Beast Wars, and rewrite history.  After this revelation, Dinobot&#039;s desire for victory and glory got the better of him and he rejoined the Predacons and gave Megatron the disk back.  However, his friendship with Rattrap proved to be too strong, he couldn&#039;t eliminate the &amp;quot;vermin&amp;quot;, and he once again turned on Megatron and rejoined the Maximals. {{storylink|Maximal, No More}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:BWDinobot_decision.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Dying with honor requires a picturesque sunset and opportune posing.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dinobot was lost.  Had he fumbled his chance at being a great warrior?  After contemplating suicide and getting berated by a hurt Rattrap for his betrayal, Dinobot set out to find Megatron and set things right.  However, Megatron had led the Predacons to the valley occupied by the proto-humans, intending to wipe them out and change history.  [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] saw the imminent attack and radioed for help before he was forced to head back to base for repairs.  Dinobot responed to the call and took on all of the Predacons by himself.  Ignoring the damage he took, the warnings of his own internal computer, and the danger to himself, Dinobot defeated all of the Predacons save Megatron.  Mocking the weakened Dinobot, Megatron tallied the score firmly in his own favor.  He had unimaginable power(i.e. the Golden Disk ), the valley was in ruins, and he had hostages.  Refusing to quit, Dinobot improvised (with a wood and rock hammer), snatched the disk from Megatron, and with the last of his power, shattered it with his eye beams.  The effort cost him, and a short time after the rest of the Maximals arrived, Dinobot&#039;s spark left his frame. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Dinbot_funeral.jpg|right|thumb|Legends don&#039;t die, they just fade away.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dinobot was given a hero&#039;s funeral, with his body being recycled with full honours while the Maximal fliers flew past, as a sign of respect for his Predacon heritage. {{storylink|Code of Hero}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A year later, Megatron, in all his insane genius, [[Dinobot 2|cloned]] him. {{storylink|Feral Scream, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;

==Toys==&lt;br /&gt;
===Beast Wars===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinobot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 1996/1997)&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;C-4&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;VS-4&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; product, Dinobot transforms into something kinda resembling an organic Utahraptor.  His tail detaches and separates to form a gear-powered spinning-blade weapon, while the central &amp;quot;tailbone&amp;quot; separates to be used as a sword.  The entire assembly can store in robot mode by flipping down the tail-mount and pegging the blade&#039;s base to the peg on his lower back.  Like all early Deluxe-and-up &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; toys, he has a &amp;quot;mutant mask&amp;quot;, halves of a dino-skull that flip up to cover his more robotic head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The original Dinobots shipped on cards with &amp;quot;rocky&amp;quot;-shaped bubbles.  Later (and more numerous) assortments moved to a smooth, rounded bubble, leading the first packaging type to become siught-after collectables on the secondary market.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In Japan, Dinobot was available both individually and in a &amp;quot;Vs&amp;quot; set with [[Tarantulas]].  This version was identical to the [[Hasbro]] version. In January 1997, Takara [[redeco]]ed many of the &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; toys and re-released them in slightly more show-like tones; Dinobot actually got &#039;&#039;less&#039;&#039; tan to his dino-skin (moving further from the show model), and his helmet was painted in metallic gold. It is unknown if this version was also sold in a Vs set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was used to make... lots of guys.  [[Dinotron]], &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], &#039;&#039;[[Dinobots (toyline)|Dinobots]]&#039;&#039; [[Grimlock (Dinobots)|Grimlock]], &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars Neo]]&#039;&#039; [[Hardhead (BWN)|Hardhead]], and [[Thrust (BWII)|Thrustor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinobot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Happy Meal Transmetal, 1998)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the second McDonald&#039;s &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; Happy Meal promotion, [[Transmetal]] Dinobot transforms into a metal velociraptor.  his molding looks more liek a Transmetal 2 than a normal Transmetal&#039;s, though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinobot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Tenth Anniversary, 2006)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:BW10Dinobot_toy.jpg|left|thumb|That crazy Utahraptor!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This release is a redeco of the original Dinobot toy, though its &amp;quot;show-accuracy&amp;quot; is questionable at best.  It came with the left arm to the &amp;quot;build-a-bot&amp;quot; figure [[Trans-Mutate]], plus a DVD containing the obvious Dinobot episode, &amp;quot;[[Code of Hero]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}&lt;br /&gt;

===Timelines===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Darksyde Dinobot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Dawn of Futures Past multi-pack, 2006)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Botcon2006Dinobot_toy.jpg|right|thumb|Can ya dig it?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the five-toy [[BotCon 2006]] [[exclusive]] boxed set (along with [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]], [[Optimus Primal]], [[Rattrap]] and [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]]), &amp;quot;Darksyde Dinobot&amp;quot; is a redeco of the &#039;&#039;[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; [[Longrack (Cybertron)|Longrack]] mold, itself a [[retool]] of &#039;&#039;[[Armada]]&#039;&#039; [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Hoist]].  Dinobot uses almost all of Longrack&#039;s new-mold parts save for the head; Hoist&#039;s was a dead ringer for Dinobot in the first place.  He transforms into a Cybertronic excavator.  Inserting a [[Cyber Key]] or [[Golden Disk Key]] into his shoulder assembly unlocks a shovel-punch attack activated by pressing on the plunger mechanism above the key port.  Like Longrack, he does &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; come with a [[Mini-Con]] partner (dammit).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The original version of this mold was also used to make &#039;&#039;[[Universe]]&#039;&#039; [[Ransack (Universe)|Ransack]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Merchandise==&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinobot mini bust&#039;&#039;&#039; (2006)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In 2006, First 4 Figures released a seven-inch tall mini-bust of Dinobot, featuring his upper torso mounted upon a Maximal pedestal. He was sculpted by Ryan Bailey and is limited to 1,996 pieces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:BWRConcept04.jpg|right|thumb|Dinobot&#039;s control art.  The beast head displays a more rigid grill structure.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* It&#039;s been rumored that Dinobot&#039;s first toy borrowed some molding from an unproduced [[Kenner]] &#039;&#039;Jurassic Park&#039;&#039; dino.  There&#039;s no evidence at all to support this, however, and is incredibly unlikely to begin with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[Timelines]] &amp;quot;Darksyde Dinobot&amp;quot; color scheme is actually based on his Tenth Anniversary toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some fans humorously refer to Dinobot&#039;s spinning blade weapon as a &amp;quot;Rotate Blade&amp;quot;. However, both the full-length version of the first &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; toy commercial and a later commercial (starring Dinobot, Waspinator and Tarantulas) refer to the weapon as being his &amp;quot;spinning Veloci-Rotor blades&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Dinobot was second under Megatron before rebelling....probably because he was the only one who knew one end of a blaster from the other&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{Template:Disambig2|the prominent UT character|the RID Spychanger|Hot Shot (RID)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Hot Shot is an [[Autobot]] character in the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hotshotut.gif|thumb|300px|I&#039;m Optimus&#039; choice for successor.  Scary, huh?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Hot Shot&#039;&#039;&#039; is the quintessential young hero.  He&#039;s been around long enough to earn a name for himself and a place in [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s entourage, but he&#039;s still too young to know when he&#039;s in over his head.  In other words, he&#039;s blunt, overconfident, and naive, yet brave and honorable.  With time and experience, Prime believes, he could make an excellent leader, and has appointed him to his command structure accordingly.  Hot Shot&#039;s got the goods, but he just needs to pay attention for more than five seconds.  Until that day, Hot Shot&#039;s likely response to most anything is, &amp;quot;Yeah yeah, like, whatever.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Shot&#039;s [[Mini-Con]] partner is [[Jolt (Armada)|&#039;&#039;&#039;Jolt&#039;&#039;&#039;]], though he has been known to moonlight with [[Mirage (Armada)|&#039;&#039;&#039;Mirage&#039;&#039;&#039;]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Japanese name:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Hot Rod&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039;), &#039;&#039;&#039;Exillion/Exigeyser&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;&#039;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039;====&lt;br /&gt;
One million years ago, Hot Shot was a member of the Autobots, the guardians of [[Cyber City]].  Soon news of a warlike faction called [[Decepticon]]s, led by the powerhungry [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], reached Cyber City via a dying [[Mini-Con]] Hot Shot found.  The Mini-Con handed him a video disc and with his dying breath, demanded Hot Shot take it to Optimus Prime.  Optimus Prime played the disc, a distress signal from [[Leader-1]], head of [[Mini-Con Sector|Mini-Con village D10]], who begged the Autobots for help.&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hotshotraizeyes.jpg|left|thumb|Hot Shot watches in horror as [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] buys the last can of [[jaAm]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Decepticons themselves soon arrived in Cyber City, armed with Mini-Cons they had captured and reconfigured to bestow incredible power when [[powerlinx]]ed.  Outclassed and near total defeat, Optimus Prime called his troops into retreat, and after the majority of Mini-Cons escaped [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to parts unknown, the Autobots lost much of the planet to the Mini-Con-powered Decepticons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the present day, both the Autobots and Decepticons received a signal of the Mini-Cons&#039; activation on the planet [[Earth]].  Hot Shot and his colleagues [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]], [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]], and [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] were led by Optimus Prime to the planet, where they met the Decepticons in battle.  But this time, with the help of the estranged Mini-Cons, the Autobots regained the edge they lost against the Decepticons one million years prior.  An uneasy alliance was formed, and Hot Shot was partnered with the Mini-Con [[Jolt (Armada)|Jolt]]. &lt;br /&gt;
{{storylink|Armada_%28Dreamwave_comic%29#Volume_1:_First_Contact|First Contact}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this initial battle on Earth, Megatron is quick to capture the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team]] and forge them into the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber sword]].  Optimus Prime led Hot Shot and Red Alert against the Decepticons again, despite being at a strategic disadvantage while the Mini-Cons were missing, a point Hot Shot belabored.  Thankfully, the Autobot-allied Mini-Cons arrived just in time to powerlinx with Hot Shot and the other Autobots, fend off Megatron, and rescue the Air Defense Mini-Cons from the Decepticon leader&#039;s clutches.&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hotshotguido.jpg|thumb|200px|&amp;quot;Well, let&#039;s go!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Soon, a Mini-Con beacon tower erected in [[Tranquility, Kansas]], drawing all Earth-bound Mini-Cons to it.  Hot Shot and the rest of the Autobots again met the Decepticons in battle at the location when the tower&#039;s effect was discovered.  However, they were too busy fighting to notice the beacon tower blasting off towards the Earth&#039;s [[Moon (moon)|moon]].  Hot Shot and Red Alert secreted Optimus Prime into the Decepticon base for the use of their space bridge, so that the Autobot leader could ask for reinforcements from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Armada_%28Dreamwave_comic%29#Volume_2:_Fortress|Fortress}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Mini-Cons were evacuated from the moon, five did not return home safely and sent a distress signal from northern Alaska.  When the [[Adventure Mini-Con Team]] failed to retrieve them, Hot Shot and the other Autobots arrived in full force, though they were kept in check by Cyclonus, who was suffering from a Mini-Con overdose.  Though they were successful, Optimus Prime disappeared before their eyes, and when Hot Shot returned to Autobase, he found [[Optimus Prime (Worlds Collide)|an Optimus Prime]], dying, sent from another timeline to warn of [[Unicron]]&#039;s coming.  Learning of the &amp;quot;real&amp;quot; Optimus Prime&#039;s disappearance, Megatron and his Decepticons stormed Autobase, nearly killing Smokescreen and heavily injuring Hot Shot, Red Alert, and Scavenger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Optimus Prime was returned to them and insisted on teaming up with the Decepticons to battle the arriving Unicron.  Hot Shot excused himself from this alliance, as Smokescreen&#039;s critical condition due to the Decepticons&#039; recent attack still weighed heavily in his mind.  So when Megatron stole away during the battle with Unicron to strike a deal with the Dark God, Hot Shot, Scavenger, and Red Alert ambushed him, leaving him to die as Unicron was seemingly destroyed by the [[Mini-Con Matrix]]. {{storylink|Armada_%28Dreamwave_comic%29#Volume_3:_Worlds_Collide|Worlds Collide}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;Energon&#039;&#039;====&lt;br /&gt;

Ten years later, at the beginning of the Energon Era, Hot Shot accompanied Optimus Prime, who was skeptic and restless about the new peacetime, to his visit with the High Council in Cyber City.  Prime&#039;s demands for vigilance were denied, so Hot Shot later followed him to a special [[uplink platform]] that [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]] had directed them to.  This trip was a first outing for the rookie Autobot [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]], who fawned over Hot Shot.  Hot Shot met this with difficulty.  Learning of the continued existence of [[Unicron]], Prime once again returned to the High Council, and again accompanied by Hot Shot.  But this time, Cyber City was attacked by [[Cheetor (Armada)|Cheetor]], [[Rhinox (Armada)|Rhinox]], [[Airazor (Armada)|Airazor]], and [[Terrorsaur (Armada)|Terrorsaur]], who were presumed dead during the [[Unicron Battles]], but in fact were transformed into Unicron&#039;s [[Beasts of the Apocalypse]].  The Horsemen were deterred when Hot Shot and the other Autobots were granted the [[Spark of Combination]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Shot followed Prime to Earth after a distress signal was received.  [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] and his [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]] were after a young boy who could detect [[Energon]] named [[Kicker]].  The Terrorcons outclassed them, however, and left only when their Energon-mining gear was destroyed, but not without taking Kicker.  After the Autobots reunited with [[Rad]] and [[Alexis]], Hot Shot and the [[Omnicon]] [[Strongarm (Energon|Strongarm]] were able to pursue the Terrorcons and deliver a special suit to Kicker that his father, [[Doctor Jones|Dr. Jones]], had made for him.  With Kicker&#039;s help, the Terrorcons were defeated and returned to Unicron.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Hotshotarmada.jpg|left|200px|thumb|He grins because he&#039;s too stupid to be sad.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An indeterminate number of years ago on Cybertron, Hot Shot and the Autobot [[Wheeljack_(Armada)|Wheeljack]] were amidst a fiery battlefield blaze.  Wheeljack was incapacitated, so Hot Shot left him, promising to get help.  However, his Autobot comrades would not let him return to help his friend.  Instead, Wheeljack was rescued by [[Megatron_(Armada)|Megatron]] and swore vengeance against Hot Shot and the Autobots.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] received the [[Mini-Con]] distress signal, Hot Shot was one of two soldiers he brought with him to Earth to investigate.  He soon scanned the form of an Earth sports car and partnered with the Mini-Con [[Jolt (Armada) (Armada)|Jolt]]. {{storylink|Base}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When all three Mini-Cons that combine to form the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]] sword were collected, Optimus assigned them to Hot Shot.  The Autobot was young, inexperienced, and hotheaded, so the great advantage the Star Saber granted him went straight to his ego.  With the sword, he was nearly unbeatable on the battlefield until a Decepticon named [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] taught him the hard way that power without skill was useless against an experienced opponent.  Hot Shot&#039;s naivety was his downfall.  The double-agent [[Sideways]] tricked Hot Shot out of the sword, and Hot Shot was beaten nearly to death by his frustrated opponents. {{storylink|Overmatch}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hotshotstarsaber.jpg|250px|thumb|what you didnt see was red alert trying to peice his legs together after this shot.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wheeljack returned to Hot Shot&#039;s life, seeking revenge.  The new Autobot recruit [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]] was caught up in Wheeljack&#039;s vendetta, so Hot Shot protected Side Swipe as best he could, hoping not to repeat his past mistakes.  Wheeljack was deterred, but promised he&#039;d be around later to revisit his ill will. {{storylink|Past, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Optimus Prime sacrificed himself to save Earth, Hot Shot was put in command.  Hot Shot declined to take the Matrix of Leadership, which marked the beginning of a very unassertive and indecisive administration.  It was also short, as Optimus Prime returned to life after not too long. {{storylink|Remorse}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decepticons managed to take over Cybertron.  [[Unicron]], the Chaos Bringer, was looming over their planet, but [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] (previously Megatron) would not listen to Optimus Prime&#039;s pleas to unite their two factions against him.  Hot Shot decided to take matters into his own hands and fought his way through the Decepticon base and countless Decepticon warriors to reach Galvatron and reason with him.  If it were not for Wheeljack&#039;s intervention, he might not have survived.  Under the Autobot/Decepticon alliance, Wheeljack&#039;s hatred of Hot Shot seemed to soften, and the two learned to trust each other again. {{storylink|Dash}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the destruction of Unicron and the defeat of Galvatron, Optimus Prime felt he had failed as Autobot Leader, and with the end of conflict between the two factions, he exiled himself to parts unknown. Hot Shot and [[Jetfire_(Armada)|Jetfire]] were left in charge of the Transformers. {{storylink|Mortal Combat}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Hotshotenergoncartoon.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Hot Shot always forgets he&#039;s not supposed to shoot at the humans.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Shot would found himself stationed on Earth as the commander of [[Ocean City]] while Optimus Prime was away training new soldiers on Cybertron. Although somewhat less headstrong, Hot Shot was still a young soldier with a large mass of responsibility placed on his shoulders. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Shot often clashed with Kicker and Ironhide, the latter seeing Hot Shot as his idol, and was often paired with [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]] as his Powerlink partner. It wasn&#039;t until the arrival of Hot Shot&#039;s former commander and idol, [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]], that he would question his own allegiences. Not moved by Rodimus&#039; plea to help him to resurrect [[Unicron]], Hot Shot threatened to open fire, only to be struck down by Rodimus. After Rodimus saved Hot Shot&#039;s life, he regretted his quick judgement. The relationship between Hot Shot and Rodimus was eventually restored and they become Powerlink partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Shot continued to serve under Optimus Prime, surviving many battles on Cybertron and other worlds. Along with several other Autobots, Hot Shot was injured when the reborn Unicron destroyed a fledgling planet in the reformed Q-system.  Hot Shot was reformatted into a slick silver body along with his Autobot comrades.  He eventually merged his [[spark]] with that of [[Optimus Supreme]] and his partners in the final battle with [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Unicron]]&#039;s destruction resulted in a black hole that threatened the Transformers&#039; home planet of Cybertron, Optimus Prime ordered the planet to retreat into hiding on Earth.  Hot Shot took the form of a blue Earth sports car.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This form came in handy when Optimus reassigned Hot Shot and [[Red_Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]] to search for [[Velocitron]]&#039;s [[Cyber Planet Key]].  He quickly developed a competitive bond with [[Override (Cybertron)|Override]], the leader of Velocitron.  Against Red Alert&#039;s warnings, Hot Shot joined the Great Race.  Hot Shot pushed himself beyond his means, almost to the point of destruction, but no matter how he tried, he could never defeat Override.  The constant racing took a noticeable toll on his body.  Was he really doing this to win the Key or just to prove to himself he was still the fastest in the galaxy?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Shot was in big trouble when Optimus arrived on Velocitron and found out what he was up to.  But Optimus Prime changed his mind when he realized that winning the race was the only way to win the Key.  With the Autobots&#039; full support and [[Coby]]&#039;s help, Hot Shot won the Great Race and the Cyber Planet Key.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, he would be severely wounded when [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] used his Death Machine Gun on him, [[Scattorshot]], and Red Alert. Fortunately, the powers of Primus acting through the [[Omega Lock]] repaired him into &#039;&#039;&#039;Cybertron Defense Hot Shot.&#039;&#039;&#039; When the [[Cybertron Defense Team]] was sent on an advance mission to Cybertron, Hot Shot and the others had to fight their way through a legion of [[Scrapmetal drone]]s. Once Megatron arrived on Cybertron he was quickly defeated in a battle by the Cybertron Defense Team. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoiler}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Much later on [[Gigantion]] the Cybertron Defense Team was caught in [[Soundwave (Cybertron)|Soundwave]]&#039;s smokescreen, but they managed to figure out the mysterious agent&#039;s mind games and defeat him. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Override resigned from leadership of Velocitron in order to travel to a new world, Hot Shot won the race to determine who would be her successor, despite his bulky new body.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039; Hot Shot transforms into a modified yellow Audi TT.  He is packaged with [[Mini-Con]] [[Jolt (Armada)|Jolt]], who, when attached to the [[powerlinx]] port on Hot Shot&#039;s rear, deploys his rear axle over the back of his head and (in the same motion) fires a missile from his hubcap.  Jolt&#039;s gun can either attach to Hot Shot&#039;s robot mode chest or unveil &amp;quot;driving claws&amp;quot; from Hot Shot&#039;s front bumper by attaching to Hot Shot&#039;s car mode hood as his engine.  Hot Shot&#039;s visor can also flip over his face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;Hot Rod,&amp;quot; [[Takara]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;Micron Legend&#039;&#039; version of Hot Shot, was released in altered colors, with a more saturated yellow and some dark gray paint in places instead of navy blue.  Additionally, more of the belt straps on his chest were painted silver, his pelvis was painted a darker red, and clearer paint on his Autobot symbol.  A [[retool]] (or vice versa) of [[Hasbro]]&#039;s Hot Shot, his right arm houses a light-up LED (for accommodating the translucent Star Saber sword) that glows when his side-view mirror is pressed, a feature that was dropped from the American version due to price-point concerns.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: A red, yellow, and black [[redeco]] and [[retool]] of the first Hot Shot, Powerlinx Hot Shot has a new head that has a more &amp;quot;serious&amp;quot; look, though his visor, sculpted directly into the new head, is no longer articulated.  Intended to be an [[homage]] to &#039;&#039;[[Generation 1]]&#039;&#039; [[Hot Rod]], he has a yellow spoiler and flames on his hood.  Due to a factory error, his forehead is painted gray instead of left red.  The Japanese version, &amp;quot;Hot Rod Super Mode,&amp;quot; fixed this forehead mistake, painted the shoulder symbol more clearly, and retained the LED light-up arm the first Japanese version featured.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Rumors circulated that a Hot Shot with fixed forehead paint and a cleaner symbol would surface later in the run, but this did not seem to happen, and no specimens with these fixes have ever materialized.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In November of 2003, US Toys &amp;quot;R&amp;quot; Us stores had special bonus pack Max-Con (Deluxe) toys, which came with a single bonus Mini-Con attached to the card over their sticker, for &#039;&#039;less&#039;&#039; than the price as a normal Max-Con during Toys &amp;quot;R&amp;quot; Us&#039; post-Thanksgiving-day sale.  Like Powerlinx [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], Powerlinx Hot Shot could come with one of the [[Adventure Mini-Con Team]] members: [[Dune Runner]], [[Iceberg]] or [[Ransack (Armada)|Ransack]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: In &#039;&#039;Energon&#039;&#039;, Hot Shot was updated as a modified yellow Aston-Martin Vanquish.  He could carry a transparent red spring-loaded missile-launching weapon in either mode, and featured a small Autobot [[spark crystal]] on his chest on which [[Energon chip]]s could be mounted.  Like nearly all other Autobots in the &#039;&#039;Energon&#039;&#039; line, he could [[powerlinx]] with like-designed toys to form the top or bottom of a super robot.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Takara released Hot Shot in similar colors, changing the slate blue plastic to a dark, nearly-black blue, dropping the black paint on his car roof, and adding metallic blue paint to his chest.  His head is also a nearly-identical-but-different sculpt, most noticeably around the mouth, chin, and eyes.  The reason for this is unknown.&lt;br /&gt;

: &#039;&#039;Energon&#039;&#039; Energon Hot Shot gave the car mode a silver-painted finish and the robot parts a dark blue, yellow, and red color scheme reminiscent of &#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039; Hot Shot&#039;s colors.  Energon Hot Shot used the Hasbro version of Hot Shot&#039;s head (see above).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: When he was released in Japan as &amp;quot;Hot Shot Fire,&amp;quot; his car mode was changed to an unpainted silver, and additionally the yellow plastic was changed to a sherbet orange, the dark blue plastic to black, and the transparent orange plastic to a transparent crimson red.   He also came packaged with the [[Energon_weapon#Energy_Cutter_.28Signal_Flare.29|Energy Cutter]], a transparent watermelon-red redeco of [[Signal Flare]]&#039;s [[energon weapon]], plus a matching [[energon chip]].

: An homage to &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; Hot Rod in design but not in color scheme, &#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;&#039; Hot Shot transforms into a modified blue Chrysler ME Four Twelve concept car.  He comes with a [[Speed Planet]] [[Cyber Key]] that deploys transparent yellow wings from his spoiler when the key is inserted into the rear of the car.  The toy also comes with a spring-loaded missile-launching gun that can be carried in robot mode or pegged into the roof of the car mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The Japanese release, &amp;quot;Exillion,&amp;quot; is completely identical other than a slight molding difference; two screws on either side of the spoiler are visible in the American release and all subsequent uses of the mold, but the original Japanese use of the mold had these screws buried.  Though the Japanese release was treated as a separate character from Hot Shot, the toy was designed to be the character from &#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Energon&#039;&#039;, as evident by his head design and [[control art]] labeling him as such.  &lt;br /&gt;

: A smaller, simplified version of &#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;&#039; Hot Shot was released as part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;[[Legends of Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; toys.

&lt;br /&gt;
: Cybertron Defense Hot Shot transforms into an armored vehicle in the same blue, navy, and red colorscheme as &#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;&#039;  Hot Shot.  A [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] Cyber Key is included and when the key is inserted into the back of the turret, the two gun barrels open up into dual (non-firing) missile launchers.  Compartments on his shoulders and his thighs can also open up to reveal additional missile launchers.  Cybertron Defense Hot Shot also comes with a dagger that stows between his legs in vehicle mode, and when in robot mode, the dagger can be hand-held, peg into the front of his fist, or be put away in a sheath on his leg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;Exigeyser,&amp;quot; Cybertron Defense Hot Shot&#039;s Japanese counterpart, is completely identical, but also came with a cardboard standup depicting three [[Scrapmetal drone]]s.  The American version of Cybertron Defense Hot Shot was at some point intended to have a slightly altered deco, which is shown on the back of the packaging, but this altered deco for some reason never superseded the Japanese deco for American release.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Red Exillion&#039;&#039;&#039; (DVD exclusive, 2005)&lt;br /&gt;
:Red Exillion is a redeco of the &#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;&#039; Hot Shot toy in red, dark red, and orange, with transparent blue.  Limited to 500, it came with the first &#039;&#039;Galaxy Force&#039;&#039; DVD and an empty box set to prepare against the next few &#039;&#039;Galaxy Force&#039;&#039; DVD releases.  This redeco took advantage of the toy&#039;s homage to &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; Hot Rod, completing the homage with appropriate colors, though the toy is still treated as Hot Shot in Hot Rod colors and not as a Hot Rod toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Before the toy saw official release, several advance test shots entered the market, though in a [http://tfkenkon.com/collection/act368/ slightly altered color treatment] than the final.  Originally, the dark red was a brighter red.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This toy was the indirect inspiration for &#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;&#039; [[Excellion]].  (The direct inspiration, of course, being the original Hot Rod.)&lt;br /&gt;

: &#039;&#039;Attacktix&#039;&#039; Hot Shot is a warrior-class Attacktix playing piece only found in booster packs. His sculpt is based upon Hot Shot&#039;s &#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;&#039; sports car incarnation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was also used to make &#039;&#039;Attacktix&#039;&#039; Excellion.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hotshotprotocolor.jpg|left|thumb|100px|WhY mY SHoUldErS HuRt?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039; Hot Shot&#039;s toy had to be completely re-engineered close to release.  Due to a structural flaw (and gravity), Hot Shot&#039;s arms were not able to attach securely to his shoulders.  Furthermore, designer [[Aaron Archer]] felt the early design&#039;s wide, football player-like physique was inappropriate to the character archetype.  Changes were made last-minute to the design to rework the transformation of the arms, necessitating the dropping of some articulation and the addition of [[kibble]] elsewhere to compensate.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ArcherSays.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Lay off the [[JaAm]], pal.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039; Hot Shot&#039;s infamous &amp;quot;[[JaAm]]&amp;quot; grin was actually a misinterpretation of Aaron Archer&#039;s original concept art which depicted Hot Shot clenching his teeth together in an open-lipped, determined expression.  The head of the original tooling had a maniacal, perhaps unhinged-looking smile in response to this concept art, so the grin was scaled back on the final toy.  The grin was removed completely and replaced with a neutral, stern expression when the head was resculpted for Powerlinx Hot Shot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* According to the [[Transformers (Melbourne House)|&#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039; Playstation 2 game]] instruction booklet, Hot Shot&#039;s &#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039; body has the following statistics:&lt;br /&gt;
:Mass: 3,109 lbs&lt;br /&gt;
:Robot height: 16&#039; 5&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Robot top speed: 50 mph&lt;br /&gt;
:Vehicle height: 5&#039; 11&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Hot Shot is an [[Autobot]] character in the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hotshotut.gif|thumb|300px|I&#039;m Optimus&#039; choice for successor.  Scary, huh?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Hot Shot&#039;&#039;&#039; is the quintessential young hero.  He&#039;s been around long enough to earn a name for himself and a place in [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s entourage, but he&#039;s still too young to know when he&#039;s in over his head.  In other words, he&#039;s blunt, overconfident, and naive, yet brave and honorable.  With time and experience, Prime believes, he could make an excellent leader, and has appointed him to his command structure accordingly.  Hot Shot&#039;s got the goods, but he just needs to pay attention for more than five seconds.  Until that day, Hot Shot&#039;s likely response to most anything is, &amp;quot;Yeah yeah, like, whatever.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Shot&#039;s [[Mini-Con]] partner is [[Jolt (Armada)|&#039;&#039;&#039;Jolt&#039;&#039;&#039;]], though he has been known to moonlight with [[Mirage (Armada)|&#039;&#039;&#039;Mirage&#039;&#039;&#039;]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Japanese name:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Hot Rod&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039;), &#039;&#039;&#039;Exillion/Exigeyser&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;&#039;)&lt;br /&gt;

==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039;====&lt;br /&gt;
One million years ago, Hot Shot was a member of the Autobots, the guardians of [[Cyber City]].  Soon news of a warlike faction called [[Decepticon]]s, led by the powerhungry [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], reached Cyber City via a dying [[Mini-Con]] Hot Shot found.  The Mini-Con handed him a video disc and with his dying breath, demanded Hot Shot take it to Optimus Prime.  Optimus Prime played the disc, a distress signal from [[Leader-1]], head of [[Mini-Con Sector|Mini-Con village D10]], who begged the Autobots for help.&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hotshotraizeyes.jpg|left|thumb|Hot Shot watches in horror as [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] buys the last can of [[jaAm]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Decepticons themselves soon arrived in Cyber City, armed with Mini-Cons they had captured and reconfigured to bestow incredible power when [[powerlinx]]ed.  Outclassed and near total defeat, Optimus Prime called his troops into retreat, and after the majority of Mini-Cons escaped [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to parts unknown, the Autobots lost much of the planet to the Mini-Con-powered Decepticons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the present day, both the Autobots and Decepticons received a signal of the Mini-Cons&#039; activation on the planet [[Earth]].  Hot Shot and his colleagues [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]], [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]], and [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] were led by Optimus Prime to the planet, where they met the Decepticons in battle.  But this time, with the help of the estranged Mini-Cons, the Autobots regained the edge they lost against the Decepticons one million years prior.  An uneasy alliance was formed, and Hot Shot was partnered with the Mini-Con [[Jolt (Armada)|Jolt]]. &lt;br /&gt;
{{storylink|Armada_%28Dreamwave_comic%29#Volume_1:_First_Contact|First Contact}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this initial battle on Earth, Megatron is quick to capture the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team]] and forge them into the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber sword]].  Optimus Prime led Hot Shot and Red Alert against the Decepticons again, despite being at a strategic disadvantage while the Mini-Cons were missing, a point Hot Shot belabored.  Thankfully, the Autobot-allied Mini-Cons arrived just in time to powerlinx with Hot Shot and the other Autobots, fend off Megatron, and rescue the Air Defense Mini-Cons from the Decepticon leader&#039;s clutches.&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hotshotguido.jpg|thumb|200px|&amp;quot;Well, let&#039;s go!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Soon, a Mini-Con beacon tower erected in [[Tranquility, Kansas]], drawing all Earth-bound Mini-Cons to it.  Hot Shot and the rest of the Autobots again met the Decepticons in battle at the location when the tower&#039;s effect was discovered.  However, they were too busy fighting to notice the beacon tower blasting off towards the Earth&#039;s [[Moon (moon)|moon]].  Hot Shot and Red Alert secreted Optimus Prime into the Decepticon base for the use of their space bridge, so that the Autobot leader could ask for reinforcements from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Armada_%28Dreamwave_comic%29#Volume_2:_Fortress|Fortress}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Mini-Cons were evacuated from the moon, five did not return home safely and sent a distress signal from northern Alaska.  When the [[Adventure Mini-Con Team]] failed to retrieve them, Hot Shot and the other Autobots arrived in full force, though they were kept in check by Cyclonus, who was suffering from a Mini-Con overdose.  Though they were successful, Optimus Prime disappeared before their eyes, and when Hot Shot returned to Autobase, he found [[Optimus Prime (Worlds Collide)|an Optimus Prime]], dying, sent from another timeline to warn of [[Unicron]]&#039;s coming.  Learning of the &amp;quot;real&amp;quot; Optimus Prime&#039;s disappearance, Megatron and his Decepticons stormed Autobase, nearly killing Smokescreen and heavily injuring Hot Shot, Red Alert, and Scavenger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Optimus Prime was returned to them and insisted on teaming up with the Decepticons to battle the arriving Unicron.  Hot Shot excused himself from this alliance, as Smokescreen&#039;s critical condition due to the Decepticons&#039; recent attack still weighed heavily in his mind.  So when Megatron stole away during the battle with Unicron to strike a deal with the Dark God, Hot Shot, Scavenger, and Red Alert ambushed him, leaving him to die as Unicron was seemingly destroyed by the [[Mini-Con Matrix]]. {{storylink|Armada_%28Dreamwave_comic%29#Volume_3:_Worlds_Collide|Worlds Collide}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;Energon&#039;&#039;====&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hotshotironhidedw.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Sorry, Hot Shot, you&#039;ve been replaced.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Ten years later, at the beginning of the Energon Era, Hot Shot accompanied Optimus Prime, who was skeptic and restless about the new peacetime, to his visit with the High Council in Cyber City.  Prime&#039;s demands for vigilance were denied, so Hot Shot later followed him to a special [[uplink platform]] that [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]] had directed them to.  This trip was a first outing for the rookie Autobot [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]], who fawned over Hot Shot.  Hot Shot met this with difficulty.  Learning of the continued existence of [[Unicron]], Prime once again returned to the High Council, and again accompanied by Hot Shot.  But this time, Cyber City was attacked by [[Cheetor (Armada)|Cheetor]], [[Rhinox (Armada)|Rhinox]], [[Airazor (Armada)|Airazor]], and [[Terrorsaur (Armada)|Terrorsaur]], who were presumed dead during the [[Unicron Battles]], but in fact were transformed into Unicron&#039;s [[Beasts of the Apocalypse]].  The Horsemen were deterred when Hot Shot and the other Autobots were granted the [[Spark of Combination]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Shot followed Prime to Earth after a distress signal was received.  [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] and his [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]] were after a young boy who could detect [[Energon]] named [[Kicker]].  The Terrorcons outclassed them, however, and left only when their Energon-mining gear was destroyed, but not without taking Kicker.  After the Autobots reunited with [[Rad]] and [[Alexis]], Hot Shot and the [[Omnicon]] [[Strongarm (Energon|Strongarm]] were able to pursue the Terrorcons and deliver a special suit to Kicker that his father, [[Doctor Jones|Dr. Jones]], had made for him.  With Kicker&#039;s help, the Terrorcons were defeated and returned to Unicron.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hotshotarmada.jpg|left|200px|thumb|He grins because he&#039;s too stupid to be sad.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An indeterminate number of years ago on Cybertron, Hot Shot and the Autobot [[Wheeljack_(Armada)|Wheeljack]] were amidst a fiery battlefield blaze.  Wheeljack was incapacitated, so Hot Shot left him, promising to get help.  However, his Autobot comrades would not let him return to help his friend.  Instead, Wheeljack was rescued by [[Megatron_(Armada)|Megatron]] and swore vengeance against Hot Shot and the Autobots.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] received the [[Mini-Con]] distress signal, Hot Shot was one of two soldiers he brought with him to Earth to investigate.  He soon scanned the form of an Earth sports car and partnered with the Mini-Con [[Jolt (Armada) (Armada)|Jolt]]. {{storylink|Base}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When all three Mini-Cons that combine to form the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]] sword were collected, Optimus assigned them to Hot Shot.  The Autobot was young, inexperienced, and hotheaded, so the great advantage the Star Saber granted him went straight to his ego.  With the sword, he was nearly unbeatable on the battlefield until a Decepticon named [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] taught him the hard way that power without skill was useless against an experienced opponent.  Hot Shot&#039;s naivety was his downfall.  The double-agent [[Sideways]] tricked Hot Shot out of the sword, and Hot Shot was beaten nearly to death by his frustrated opponents. {{storylink|Overmatch}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hotshotstarsaber.jpg|250px|thumb|He loves his Star Saber sword.  It&#039;s so bad.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wheeljack returned to Hot Shot&#039;s life, seeking revenge.  The new Autobot recruit [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]] was caught up in Wheeljack&#039;s vendetta, so Hot Shot protected Side Swipe as best he could, hoping not to repeat his past mistakes.  Wheeljack was deterred, but promised he&#039;d be around later to revisit his ill will. {{storylink|Past, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Optimus Prime sacrificed himself to save Earth, Hot Shot was put in command.  Hot Shot declined to take the Matrix of Leadership, which marked the beginning of a very unassertive and indecisive administration.  It was also short, as Optimus Prime returned to life after not too long. {{storylink|Remorse}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decepticons managed to take over Cybertron.  [[Unicron]], the Chaos Bringer, was looming over their planet, but [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] (previously Megatron) would not listen to Optimus Prime&#039;s pleas to unite their two factions against him.  Hot Shot decided to take matters into his own hands and fought his way through the Decepticon base and countless Decepticon warriors to reach Galvatron and reason with him.  If it were not for Wheeljack&#039;s intervention, he might not have survived.  Under the Autobot/Decepticon alliance, Wheeljack&#039;s hatred of Hot Shot seemed to soften, and the two learned to trust each other again. {{storylink|Dash}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the destruction of Unicron and the defeat of Galvatron, Optimus Prime felt he had failed as Autobot Leader, and with the end of conflict between the two factions, he exiled himself to parts unknown. Hot Shot and [[Jetfire_(Armada)|Jetfire]] were left in charge of the Transformers. {{storylink|Mortal Combat}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Energon====&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice Actor(s):&#039;&#039; [[Brent Miller]] (US), [[Kōsuke Toriumi]] (Japan)&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hotshotenergoncartoon.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Hot Shot always forgets he&#039;s not supposed to shoot at the humans.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Shot would found himself stationed on Earth as the commander of [[Ocean City]] while Optimus Prime was away training new soldiers on Cybertron. Although somewhat less headstrong, Hot Shot was still a young soldier with a large mass of responsibility placed on his shoulders. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Shot often clashed with Kicker and Ironhide, the latter seeing Hot Shot as his idol, and was often paired with [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]] as his Powerlink partner. It wasn&#039;t until the arrival of Hot Shot&#039;s former commander and idol, [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]], that he would question his own allegiences. Not moved by Rodimus&#039; plea to help him to resurrect [[Unicron]], Hot Shot threatened to open fire, only to be struck down by Rodimus. After Rodimus saved Hot Shot&#039;s life, he regretted his quick judgement. The relationship between Hot Shot and Rodimus was eventually restored and they become Powerlink partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Shot continued to serve under Optimus Prime, surviving many battles on Cybertron and other worlds. Along with several other Autobots, Hot Shot was injured when the reborn Unicron destroyed a fledgling planet in the reformed Q-system.  Hot Shot was reformatted into a slick silver body along with his Autobot comrades.  He eventually merged his [[spark]] with that of [[Optimus Supreme]] and his partners in the final battle with [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Cybertron====&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hotshotcybertron.jpg|thumb|250px|And everybody was  kung-fu fighting doodoodoo doot doot doot doooooooot .]]&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice Actor(s):&#039;&#039; [[Kirby Morrow]] (US), [[Daisuke Hirakawa]] (Japan)&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Special attacks:&#039;&#039; Accel Wing, Double X Shot, Battle Dagger &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Unicron]]&#039;s destruction resulted in a black hole that threatened the Transformers&#039; home planet of Cybertron, Optimus Prime ordered the planet to retreat into hiding on Earth.  Hot Shot took the form of a blue Earth sports car.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This form came in handy when Optimus reassigned Hot Shot and [[Red_Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]] to search for [[Velocitron]]&#039;s [[Cyber Planet Key]].  He quickly developed a competitive bond with [[Override (Cybertron)|Override]], the leader of Velocitron.  Against Red Alert&#039;s warnings, Hot Shot joined the Great Race.  Hot Shot pushed himself beyond his means, almost to the point of destruction, but no matter how he tried, he could never defeat Override.  The constant racing took a noticeable toll on his body.  Was he really doing this to win the Key or just to prove to himself he was still the fastest in the galaxy?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Shot was in big trouble when Optimus arrived on Velocitron and found out what he was up to.  But Optimus Prime changed his mind when he realized that winning the race was the only way to win the Key.  With the Autobots&#039; full support and [[Coby]]&#039;s help, Hot Shot won the Great Race and the Cyber Planet Key.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, he would be severely wounded when [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] used his Death Machine Gun on him, [[Scattorshot]], and Red Alert. Fortunately, the powers of Primus acting through the [[Omega Lock]] repaired him into &#039;&#039;&#039;Cybertron Defense Hot Shot.&#039;&#039;&#039; When the [[Cybertron Defense Team]] was sent on an advance mission to Cybertron, Hot Shot and the others had to fight their way through a legion of [[Scrapmetal drone]]s. Once Megatron arrived on Cybertron he was quickly defeated in a battle by the Cybertron Defense Team. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoiler}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Much later on [[Gigantion]] the Cybertron Defense Team was caught in [[Soundwave (Cybertron)|Soundwave]]&#039;s smokescreen, but they managed to figure out the mysterious agent&#039;s mind games and defeat him. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Override resigned from leadership of Velocitron in order to travel to a new world, Hot Shot won the race to determine who would be her successor, despite his bulky new body.&lt;br /&gt;

: &#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039; Hot Shot transforms into a modified yellow Audi TT.  He is packaged with [[Mini-Con]] [[Jolt (Armada)|Jolt]], who, when attached to the [[powerlinx]] port on Hot Shot&#039;s rear, deploys his rear axle over the back of his head and (in the same motion) fires a missile from his hubcap.  Jolt&#039;s gun can either attach to Hot Shot&#039;s robot mode chest or unveil &amp;quot;driving claws&amp;quot; from Hot Shot&#039;s front bumper by attaching to Hot Shot&#039;s car mode hood as his engine.  Hot Shot&#039;s visor can also flip over his face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;Hot Rod,&amp;quot; [[Takara]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;Micron Legend&#039;&#039; version of Hot Shot, was released in altered colors, with a more saturated yellow and some dark gray paint in places instead of navy blue.  Additionally, more of the belt straps on his chest were painted silver, his pelvis was painted a darker red, and clearer paint on his Autobot symbol.  A [[retool]] (or vice versa) of [[Hasbro]]&#039;s Hot Shot, his right arm houses a light-up LED (for accommodating the translucent Star Saber sword) that glows when his side-view mirror is pressed, a feature that was dropped from the American version due to price-point concerns.&lt;br /&gt;

: A red, yellow, and black [[redeco]] and [[retool]] of the first Hot Shot, Powerlinx Hot Shot has a new head that has a more &amp;quot;serious&amp;quot; look, though his visor, sculpted directly into the new head, is no longer articulated.  Intended to be an [[homage]] to &#039;&#039;[[Generation 1]]&#039;&#039; [[Hot Rod]], he has a yellow spoiler and flames on his hood.  Due to a factory error, his forehead is painted gray instead of left red.  The Japanese version, &amp;quot;Hot Rod Super Mode,&amp;quot; fixed this forehead mistake, painted the shoulder symbol more clearly, and retained the LED light-up arm the first Japanese version featured.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Rumors circulated that a Hot Shot with fixed forehead paint and a cleaner symbol would surface later in the run, but this did not seem to happen, and no specimens with these fixes have ever materialized.&lt;br /&gt;

: In November of 2003, US Toys &amp;quot;R&amp;quot; Us stores had special bonus pack Max-Con (Deluxe) toys, which came with a single bonus Mini-Con attached to the card over their sticker, for &#039;&#039;less&#039;&#039; than the price as a normal Max-Con during Toys &amp;quot;R&amp;quot; Us&#039; post-Thanksgiving-day sale.  Like Powerlinx [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], Powerlinx Hot Shot could come with one of the [[Adventure Mini-Con Team]] members: [[Dune Runner]], [[Iceberg]] or [[Ransack (Armada)|Ransack]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: In &#039;&#039;Energon&#039;&#039;, Hot Shot was updated as a modified yellow Aston-Martin Vanquish.  He could carry a transparent red spring-loaded missile-launching weapon in either mode, and featured a small Autobot [[spark crystal]] on his chest on which [[Energon chip]]s could be mounted.  Like nearly all other Autobots in the &#039;&#039;Energon&#039;&#039; line, he could [[powerlinx]] with like-designed toys to form the top or bottom of a super robot.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Takara released Hot Shot in similar colors, changing the slate blue plastic to a dark, nearly-black blue, dropping the black paint on his car roof, and adding metallic blue paint to his chest.  His head is also a nearly-identical-but-different sculpt, most noticeably around the mouth, chin, and eyes.  The reason for this is unknown.&lt;br /&gt;

: In Japan, Takara released Hot Shot both individually and in a box set with [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Energon&#039;&#039; Energon Hot Shot gave the car mode a silver-painted finish and the robot parts a dark blue, yellow, and red color scheme reminiscent of &#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039; Hot Shot&#039;s colors.  Energon Hot Shot used the Hasbro version of Hot Shot&#039;s head (see above).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: When he was released in Japan as &amp;quot;Hot Shot Fire,&amp;quot; his car mode was changed to an unpainted silver, and additionally the yellow plastic was changed to a sherbet orange, the dark blue plastic to black, and the transparent orange plastic to a transparent crimson red.   He also came packaged with the [[Energon_weapon#Energy_Cutter_.28Signal_Flare.29|Energy Cutter]], a transparent watermelon-red redeco of [[Signal Flare]]&#039;s [[energon weapon]], plus a matching [[energon chip]].  Hot Shot Fire used the Takara version of Hot Shot&#039;s head.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Hot Shot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe Class, 2005)&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;GC-02&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: An homage to &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; Hot Rod in design but not in color scheme, &#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;&#039; Hot Shot transforms into a modified blue Chrysler ME Four Twelve concept car.  He comes with a [[Speed Planet]] [[Cyber Key]] that deploys transparent yellow wings from his spoiler when the key is inserted into the rear of the car.  The toy also comes with a spring-loaded missile-launching gun that can be carried in robot mode or pegged into the roof of the car mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The Japanese release, &amp;quot;Exillion,&amp;quot; is completely identical other than a slight molding difference; two screws on either side of the spoiler are visible in the American release and all subsequent uses of the mold, but the original Japanese use of the mold had these screws buried.  Though the Japanese release was treated as a separate character from Hot Shot, the toy was designed to be the character from &#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Energon&#039;&#039;, as evident by his head design and [[control art]] labeling him as such.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was used to make Red Exillion (see below) and [[Excellion]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Hot Shot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Legends of Cybertron, 2005/2006)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: A smaller, simplified version of &#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;&#039; Hot Shot was released as part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;[[Legends of Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; toys.  In 2006, a red version using Excellion&#039;s deco was released as part of the fourth assortment, but was marked as &amp;quot;Hot Shot&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Cybertron Defense Hot Shot&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe Class, 2005)&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;GC-19&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Cybertron Defense Hot Shot transforms into an armored vehicle in the same blue, navy, and red colorscheme as &#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;&#039;  Hot Shot.  A [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] Cyber Key is included and when the key is inserted into the back of the turret, the two gun barrels open up into dual (non-firing) missile launchers.  Compartments on his shoulders and his thighs can also open up to reveal additional missile launchers.  Cybertron Defense Hot Shot also comes with a dagger that stows between his legs in vehicle mode, and when in robot mode, the dagger can be hand-held, peg into the front of his fist, or be put away in a sheath on his leg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;Exigeyser,&amp;quot; Cybertron Defense Hot Shot&#039;s Japanese counterpart, is completely identical, but also came with a cardboard standup depicting three [[Scrapmetal drone]]s.  The American version of Cybertron Defense Hot Shot was at some point intended to have a slightly altered deco, which is shown on the back of the packaging, but this altered deco for some reason never superseded the Japanese deco for American release.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Red Exillion&#039;&#039;&#039; (DVD exclusive, 2005)&lt;br /&gt;
:Red Exillion is a redeco of the &#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;&#039; Hot Shot toy in red, dark red, and orange, with transparent blue.  Limited to 500, it came with the first &#039;&#039;Galaxy Force&#039;&#039; DVD and an empty box set to prepare against the next few &#039;&#039;Galaxy Force&#039;&#039; DVD releases.  This redeco took advantage of the toy&#039;s homage to &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; Hot Rod, completing the homage with appropriate colors, though the toy is still treated as Hot Shot in Hot Rod colors and not as a Hot Rod toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Before the toy saw official release, several advance test shots entered the market, though in a [http://tfkenkon.com/collection/act368/ slightly altered color treatment] than the final.  Originally, the dark red was a brighter red.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This toy was the indirect inspiration for &#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;&#039; [[Excellion]].  (The direct inspiration, of course, being the original Hot Rod.)&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hotshotprotocolor.jpg|left|thumb|100px|WhY mY SHoUldErS HuRt?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039; Hot Shot&#039;s toy had to be completely re-engineered close to release.  Due to a structural flaw (and gravity), Hot Shot&#039;s arms were not able to attach securely to his shoulders.  Furthermore, designer [[Aaron Archer]] felt the early design&#039;s wide, football player-like physique was inappropriate to the character archetype.  Changes were made last-minute to the design to rework the transformation of the arms, necessitating the dropping of some articulation and the addition of [[kibble]] elsewhere to compensate.&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ArcherSays.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Lay off the [[JaAm]], pal.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039; Hot Shot&#039;s infamous &amp;quot;[[JaAm]]&amp;quot; grin was actually a misinterpretation of Aaron Archer&#039;s original concept art which depicted Hot Shot clenching his teeth together in an open-lipped, determined expression.  The head of the original tooling had a maniacal, perhaps unhinged-looking smile in response to this concept art, so the grin was scaled back on the final toy.  The grin was removed completely and replaced with a neutral, stern expression when the head was resculpted for Powerlinx Hot Shot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* According to the [[Transformers (Melbourne House)|&#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039; Playstation 2 game]] instruction booklet, Hot Shot&#039;s &#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039; body has the following statistics:&lt;br /&gt;
:Mass: 3,109 lbs&lt;br /&gt;
:Robot height: 16&#039; 5&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Robot top speed: 50 mph&lt;br /&gt;
:Vehicle height: 5&#039; 11&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Vehicle top speed: 186 mph&lt;br /&gt;
:Vehicle power: 400 hp @ 8000 rpm&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{disambig3|Soundwave}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Soundwave is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]]. In the Japanese series, he later took the name &#039;&#039;&#039;Soundblaster&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Soundwave_mixalot.jpg|thumb|300px|Big butts: preferred. Lying: impossible.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Soundwave&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]&#039;s most reliable troops, and has positioned himself comfortably and irreplaceably in Megatron&#039;s upper command structure, and stands at the Decepticon leader&#039;s side as confidant. Soundwave guards his place in the hierarchy fiercely.  Though loyal to Megatron, the other Decepticons see him as a two-faced snake.  As Communications Officer, Soundwave sees and hears all, and will not hesitate to use blackmail to keep himself high in Megatron&#039;s esteem.  The other Decepticons wouldn&#039;t mind abandoning him on the battlefield -- if they thought Megatron would let them get away with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave commands a legion of cassette troops to carry out tasks big and small.  Sometimes he lets them all out to watch impromptu gladiator games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;RTM dub name (Soundblaster): &#039;&#039;&#039;New Soundwave&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Marvel Comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;(Note: Events from the UK-only comic stories are in italics.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Contentedfools.jpg|left|thumb|200px|[[Ravage]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and Soundwave, the first Decepticons.]]&lt;br /&gt;
After the Transformers&#039; awakening on Earth, Soundwave served quietly under Megatron, before he was overthrown by Shockwave. Under Shockwave&#039;s command, Soundwave attacked the [[Blackrock Aerospace Plant]] and secured it for Decepticon use. {{storylink|Warrior School!}} The plant&#039;s facilities were used to create the [[Constructicons]], who built a massive radio dish that Soundwave used to beam a message back to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Next Best Thing to Being There!}} &#039;&#039;Soundwave assumed leadership of the Decepticons a short time later and lead them against the Autobots during the &amp;quot;Dinobot Hunt,&amp;quot; during a brief period when both Megatron and Shockwave were missing in action.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Dinobot Hunt}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Megatron resurfaced, rendered immobile in a Wyoming coal mine due to lack of fuel, Soundwave sped to his rescue, re-energizing him. {{storylink| I, Robot Master!}} &#039;&#039;Using the splintered state of the Decepticon forces to his advantage, Soundwave worked both sides of the field, reporting to both Megatron and the returned Shockwave, without the other&#039;s knowledge. When Shockwave learned that the human [[Buster Witwicky]] had begun to suffer [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]-induced visions of the [[combiner|next leap in Transformer evolution]], Soundwave reported this to Megatron, prompting him to battle Shockwave for leadership. The Decepticons&#039; human ally, [[Robot Master]], televised the battle, much to Soundwave&#039;s distaste, and in order to prevent the Decepticons from looking like fools, interrupted the duel and insisted that they agree to a joint leadership.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Second Generation!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Laserbeakwarriorschool.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Fly, my pretties, fly!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;When the [[Robot-Master]] hoax the Decepticons were perpetrating was threatened by the investigate work of [[Joy Meadows]], Soundwave was instrumental in ending the conflict that ensued between the Decepticons and the Dinobots by holding the reporter hostage and destroying her footage.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|In the National Interest!}} &#039;&#039;Not long thereafter, when the deranged future Decepticon, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], travelled back in time, Soundwave was intruiged by the fact that he was unable to scan his mind to discern the truth of his identity. Siding with Megatron when conflict erupted, Soundwave and his leader were buried under an avalanche by Galvatron, and then rescued by the Autobots in the name of forming an alliance to defeat their common enemy.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Target 2006}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It would be some time before Soundwave came back to the fore, and his return to the spotlight was an ignominious one. With Megatron having apparently died, Soundwave was now once again under Shockwave&#039;s command, and, while patrolling on the Decepticon&#039;s mobile island base, found himself attacked and subdued by the time-travelling freelance peace-keeping agent, [[Death&#039;s Head]], and tricked into giving up information on the whereabouts of Galvatron.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Hunters!}} &#039;&#039;Although Death&#039;s Head&#039;s attempts to track down the Decepticon met with failure, Galvatron was ultimately entombed in lava, where he was later discovered by [[Susan Hoffman]]. Soundwave observed a televised broadcast of her discovery, and he and the [[Combaticon]]s attempted to destroy Galvatron with explosives planted around the volcano in question. After a battle with the [[Throttlebot]]s, Soundwave found that he was unable to remotely detonate the explosives planted around the volcano thanks to Blaster jamming his signal.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Ladies&#039; Night!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Soundwave uscomics.jpg|thumb|left|G2 before it was cool.]]When Shockwave was removed from power, Soundwave smoothly transitioned to serving under the new Decepticon leader Ratbat, and helped to operate his [[Realvision]] playback system to decode data from Autobot tapes [[Grandslam]] and [[Raindance]]. {{storylink|The Flames of Boltax!}} The tapes, it was discovered, contained information on the [[Underbase]], the power of which was soon claimed by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], who immediately targeted the Earth. Soundwave co-lead the defence of New York alongside [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], but was deactivated by a blast of cosmic power from Starscream. {{storylink|Dark Star!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It would be some time before Soundwave was operational again, but was back on his feet by the time that Starscream - now a [[Pretender]] - was busy doubting his self-worth.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Fallen Star}} He continued to operate under the command of the new Decepticon Earth commander, [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;In 2007, in the alternate future world of [[Earth-120185]], Soundwave was second-in-command of the Decepticon forces under Shockwave, and succeeded him after Death&#039;s Head assassinated him on the orders of [[Unicron]].&#039;&#039; {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}} &#039;&#039;In 2008, Soundwave entered into an alliance with the [[Quintesson]]s, arranging to attack the Autobots as part of a larger plan. He was, however, unaware of the aliens&#039; true plans to take control of Cybertron, and found himself double-crossed when the Quintessons ambushed the Decepticons en route to their attack on the Autobots. The Autobots, led by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], saved Soundwave&#039;s forces from the Quintessons, and they joind forces to repel the Quintesson invasion.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Space Pirates!}} &#039;&#039;Finally, in 2009, Soundwave led the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] back in time to 1989, where they briefly participated in the &amp;quot;Time Wars,&amp;quot; before returning to their own time in the midst of the conflict to save their own hides.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Time Wars}}&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;In the tangent timeline that is home to the Autobot [[Earthforce]] team, Soundwave nominally served on Megatron&#039;s side during the Decepticon Civil War, but, once again, was not above exploiting the conflict for his own ends. When an energon shipment was hijacked by Shockwave&#039;s forces thanks to information he had given them, Megatron came to suspect the presence of a traitor in his ranks, but ironically assigned Soundwave to identify them. To keep his own duplicity a secret, he sets up [[Wildrider]] to take the fall, and Megatron destroys the [[Stunticon]].&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Secrets}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Approached by Starscream with a plan to make them both Decepticon leaders, Soundwave joined forces with the schemer and lured Megatron and Shockwave to an airport, tipping off the Autobots to their location. With the two leaders thus occupied, Soundwave and Starscream take control.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Internal Affairs!}}&#039;&#039; Subsequently, Soundwave led an all-out attack on the Earthforce base as a diversion, while Starscream attempts to plunder an oil tanker. Starscream meets with failure, however, leading Soundwave to withdraw his forces, and wonder if he should not take leadership for himself alone.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}} &#039;&#039;Starscream is aware of Soundwave&#039;s goals, and when he is attacked by a group of alien assassins, suspects that he has ordered the hit and strikes back at him. Soundwave is able to convince him he is not responsible - in actuality, it was the work of Megatron and Soundwave.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|External Forces!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Learning that human reporter [[Irwin Spoon]] had secured an interview with the Autobots that could potentially resolve public view of the Transformer war. Seeking to prevent this, he has the Stunticons captured the journalist, and although the Autobots are able to rescue him, a carefully planted [[cerebro-shell]] ensures that the story Irwin writes is anything but accurate.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|End of the Road!}}&lt;br /&gt;

====&#039;&#039;The Transformers&#039;&#039;====&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice Actor:&#039;&#039; [[Frank Welker]] (US), [[Issei Masamune]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Cybertronsoundwave.jpg|thumb||left|I&#039;ll umm...blind you with light?]]&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to his arrival on Earth, Soundwave had the questionably useful [[altmode]] of a space-age lamp-post. This allowed him to get as close to Autobot headquarters as the street leading into [[Iacon]], but thankfully his chest-dwelling minion [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] could snoop even closer. The loyal Laserbeak overheard talk of the Autobot mission to seek new energy sources off Cybertron, which prompted the fateful Decepticon interception mission that eventually landed both teams on Earth.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Immediately after the Transformers awakened on Earth in 1984, Soundwave played an essential role in the generation of [[energon cube]]s and the formation of plans for a new space cruiser to return the Decepticons to Cybertron.  He sounded really cool when he talked about these, too. Soundwave was reformatted as a portable casette player, which allowed him to dupe a grabby and none-too-questioning [[Spike Witwicky]] into carrying his shrunken form into the [[Ark]] headquarters.  This was to happen many times to the seemingly tape-deck addicted citizens of Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, he used his mind-reading talents to acquire an antimatter formula for the Decepticons from the brain of [[Chip Chase]]. One of Soundwave&#039;s most notable misadventures came in in 1985, when, operating a plan conceived by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], he brainwashed humans with ultrasonic vibrations inside the Decepticon-built night club [[Dancitron]] in [[New York City]], leading to a confrontation with his Autobot Communications Officer counterpart, [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], beginning a lasting rivalry between the two.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Soundwaveg1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|We&#039;ll get you next time, Gadget.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave rarely displayed much emotion, and only infrequently exhibited any cunning and self-serving traits. He came across as extremely loyal to Megatron, even going so far as to recover the mortally wounded leader after being left for dead at the Battle of Autobot City in 2005. But while Soundwave was loyal, he was far from stupid, and kept his mouth shut when Megatron was subsequently ejected into space, and although he did suggest himself as a replacement leader, he again loyally served Megatron when he returned as [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the year 2006, although operating in a less prominent capacity for most of the time, Soundwave played a prominent role in Galvatron&#039;s attempt to learn the secret of a sonic weapon on the planet [[Eurythma]], where sound and music were the way of life, leaving Soundwave entranced by the planet&#039;s perfect melodies. Recording each piece of the harmony that formed the devastating sonic effect, Soundwave was defeated when the Eurythmans countered the harmony with white noise, and was again pulled into a confrontation with Blaster, who erased his recordings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====&#039;&#039;Fight!  Super Robot Lifeform Transformer&#039;&#039; manga=====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave and his cassettes had stolen some top secret information and were being pursued through Tokyo by the Autobots.  His chase eventually ended when Bumblebee got the drop on him with his patented &amp;quot;Bumble-Kick&amp;quot; and shattered his chest and the stolen information within.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The manga maintained something resembling continuity: during his appearance in the third issue of the book, Soundwave was shown to have bandages over his chest.  Adorable.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====&#039;&#039;Fight!  Super Robot Lifeform Trasnformer&#039;&#039; story pages=====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the second &amp;quot;Anime Theater&amp;quot; story page, titled &#039;&#039;Sick em, Hound!&#039;&#039;, the Autobots decided to keep themselves in shape by having a friendly race.  Soundwave learned of the race and set up a trap within a narrow canyon.  He walled the Autobots up within the canyon and began shooting them all.  Luckily, [[Hound]] arrived on the scene and delivered a powerful punch to his chest, shattering his tape door.  Soundwave immediately fled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;Headmasters&#039;&#039;====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after the arrival of the [[Headmaster]]s, Soundwave and Blaster engaged in their final clash in the Arctic circle as the Autobots and Decepticons were in the process of searching for the missing Autobot [[Matrix]] of Leadership. The two opponents inflicted fatal damage on each other, and Soundwave&#039;s body exploded even as Blaster collapsed, but his fragments were recovered by his cassettes. Using reconstructive technology from the planet [[Master]], the leader of the Decepticon Headmasters, [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] successfully rebuilt and resurrected Soundwave as &#039;&#039;&#039;Soundblaster&#039;&#039;&#039; - essentially identical to his former self, except for his predominantly black color scheme. As Soundblaster, Soundwave served the same role as he had ever done under the leadership of Galvatron and later Scorponok, frequently embarking on spying missions with [[Ratbat]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====&#039;&#039;Headmasters&#039;&#039; manga=====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Decepticons had been vanquished from Earth, [[Scorponok (G1)|Mega Zarak]] ordered Soundblaster to remain on Earth in secret to act as a spy for the Decepticons.  Soundwave made his presence and intentions known almost instantly (not a very good spy) by kicking [[Wheelie]] square in the face and taking the [[Spike Witwicky|Witwicky]] family hostage. Strangely enough, the Autobots considered these acts to be hostile. [[Chromedome]] was left powerless to do anything but surrender, as [[Slugfest]] and [[Overkill]] brutalized [[Spike Witwicky|Spike]] and threatened [[Carly]].  Daniel finally snapped and beat the living crap out of the two Cassette dinosaurs, leaving Soundblaster open to Chromedome&#039;s poorly named &amp;quot;Master-Chrome Hurricane Throw to the End of Hell!&amp;quot;  Chromedome chucked Soundblaster over the horizon where he landed near the rogue Decepticon, [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In &#039;&#039;[[When Continents Collide]]&#039;&#039;, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] calls Soundwave a &amp;quot;blundering tape-filled idiot.&amp;quot;  This is notable because it is hilarious. Also, Soundwave is really, really whiny in these stories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Soundwave is shown among the many Transformers strewn about the interior of the Ark when the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] infiltrates the ship on his mission to destroy Optimus Prime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[3H]] &#039;&#039;Tales of the Beast Wars&#039;&#039; comics, Soundwave is one of the ancient warriors who appears from [[J&#039;nwan]] to help battle the warlord [[Shokaract]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Soundwave was among the Decepticons who quickly joined Shockwave&#039;s forces upon returning to Cybertron.  It seems clear, however, that Soundwave had little loyalty to him, as he readily joins up with Starscream when the [[Seeker]] decides to return to Earth and take over.  Though Soundwave feigned subservience to Starscream, it is later revealed that he had been serving Megatron the entire time in secret.&lt;br /&gt;

: Came with [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]] in the US and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] in Japan. Prior to his release as a Transformer, Soundwave was a Microchange Cassetteman Sony Walkman, which came with a set of non-functioning headphones to listen to the silence of his non-functioning tapes.  His weapons turned into imitation batteries to power his nonexistent circuitry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Notably, his color scheme is very &#039;&#039;&#039;loud&#039;&#039;&#039;, being bright shades of fluorescent yellow, pink and blue.  This is one time fans can actually get away with describing a toy&#039;s color scheme as [[neon]].&lt;br /&gt;

Due to the lack of fiction, it is &#039;&#039;possible&#039;&#039; that this incarnation is in fact an alternate-universe version of Soundwave, or possibly a new character altogether.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Soundwavecommercial.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Say hello to my leetle friend!]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Though Soundwave&#039;s toy is a microcassette recorder, his fictional appearances depict him as a stereo cassette deck or Walkman.  (Likewise, his microcassette tapes are depicted as regular audio cassettes.)&lt;br /&gt;
* Animation from early &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; commercials featured a Soundwave model colored in very light blue, versus the dark blue used later.  Also, instead of the cassettes ejecting themselves from his chest, he reached into his chest compartment with his own fingers and threw the (tiny) tapes into the air.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Marvel US comics chose a purple scheme for Soundwave.  This could have been an error, an early look for him that was dropped in other media, or perhaps an attempt to distinguish him from the other Decepticons, who were mostly blue (especially since blacks also ended up as blues in the industry&#039;s then-limited color pallette).  The Marvel UK comics colored him blue like everywhere else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Bm soundwave.jpg|thumb|right|Soundwave gets slagged by Vehicons, and Nightscream escapes. How&#039;s that for injustice?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Soundwave&#039;s computer model was used for one of the generic transformers in Beast Machines seen in [[Nightscream]]&#039;s flashback being cornered by [[Vehicon]] drones just before Nightscream fled into the lower levels of Cybertron.  Though the model was recolored, it was still really &amp;lt;span title=&amp;quot;This may not be an actual word&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;cursor:help;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;Soundwavey,&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; causing much confusion among fans.&lt;br /&gt;
* Later, Soundwave&#039;s character model showed up numerous times in various color schemes as a generic background character in [[Armada (television series)|Armada]].&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Sideways]] listened to music using a tape deck resembling Soundwave in the [[Cybertron (television series)|Cybertron]] cartoon. Later, after a new [[Planet X (Cybertron)|Planet X]] was found, &#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;&#039; [[Soundwave (Cybertron)|Soundwave]] held tape deck Soundwave in his arms.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{disambig3|Mirage}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Mirage is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mirageg1.jpg|thumb|300px|right|&amp;quot;The ship was... full.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Mirage&#039;&#039;&#039; is what humans call &amp;quot;old money.&amp;quot;  Before the war, he was a member of affluent Cybertronian society, with his own large estate and high-priced friends.  He enjoyed the finer things in life: vintage [[energon]], swank evening events, and [[turbofox]] hunts on the grounds.  But when the war started, he was forced to choose sides and found himself banded with a group of commoners he didn&#039;t really understand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other Autobots don&#039;t trust Mirage.  He feels the war, even after all these millions of years, is beneath him.  War is not, after all, how civilized, erudite beings conduct themselves.  He often questions the Autobots&#039; violent means, and not-so-secretly hopes they and the Decepticons can get along.  Because of this, he has been labelled by a few others as a Decepticon sympathizer.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the details vary by continuity, Mirage has the ability to create illusions which typically either render him invisible or make him appear to be somewhere he isn&#039;t.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He sounds like [[wikipedia:Dean Martin|Dean Martin]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Japanese name: &#039;&#039;&#039;Ligier, Rijie (Robot Masters)&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Italian name: &#039;&#039;&#039;Mistero&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

====Generation 1====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;(Note: Events from the UK-only comic stories are in italics.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mirage was one of the Autobots on board the Ark when it crashed, and was subsequently reactivated in 1984.  At first, Mirage was reluctant to full-on attack his Decepticon opponents, instead trying to reason with them.  However, after a battle with the relentless [[Ravage]], Mirage learned that sometimes diplomacy is not an option.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mirageg1enemywithin.jpg|left|125px|thumb|Punk&#039;d!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;During an accident on the [[Ark]], [[Brawn]] suffered an extreme neuro-shock, causing him to rebel and turn against his teammates.  Mirage helped the Autobots hunt him down and tranquelize him.  This same accident also amplified Mirage&#039;s ability to create illusions, which he later used to trick the Decepticons into believing that a duel between Brawn and [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] ended with Brawn&#039;s death.  The Decepticons felt totally stupid.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Long after, he was blown to pieces by [[Octane]] during an Arctic battle arranged by [[Starscream (G1)| Starscream]] and repaired in time to be destroyed again in [[New York City]] by Starscream himself (empowered by the [[Underbase]]).&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mirageg2die.jpg|right|thumb|150px|&amp;quot;Got to--&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;&#039;SPOOM!&#039;&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Generation 2====&lt;br /&gt;
Disobeying [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s orders, [[Grimlock]] led a covert team (which included Mirage) onto the [[Cybertronian Empire]] ship &#039;&#039;[[Twilight]]&#039;&#039; to defeat [[Jhiaxus]] and his army of &amp;quot;evolved-Decepticons.&amp;quot;  Grimlock&#039;s plan was an utter failure, ending in [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]]&#039;s death and the Autobots&#039; capture.  Mirage was destroyed by enemy fire during the following prison break.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Animated continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice actor:&#039;&#039; [[Frank Welker]] (US), [[Takurō Kitagawa]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mirage was part of the bridge crew of the &#039;&#039;[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]&#039;&#039; when it crash-landed on Earth four million years ago. A volcanic eruption in 1984 awakened the &#039;&#039;Ark&#039;&#039;&#039;s inhabitants, including Mirage, who was reformatted by [[Teletraan I]] to have a terrestrial alt-mode of a Formula-1 racer. With the battle against the [[Decepticon]]s now transplanted to Earth, Mirage still hated warfare. He longed to return to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and turn simply his back to the evil Decepticons, but his loyalty to Optimus Prime kept him in the fight. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mirage was instrumental in stopping the Decepticons from returning to Cybertron after amassing enough energon from Earth. The Decepticons had constructed a new star cruiser, and were in the process of flying home to tip the scales of the war in their favor. Mirage used his cloaking ability to sneak aboard the Decepticon ship. He uncloaked and opened fire, blasting away at the ship&#039;s controls. He then bailed from the doomed cruiser, floating back to Earth&#039;s surface on a parasail as the Decepticons crashed into the ocean.  [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] asked Mirage why he -- homesick and war-weary Autobot that he was -- did not hitch the ride back home.  Mirage responded, affirming his loyalty to the Autobots, &amp;quot;The ship was... full.&amp;quot; {{storylink|More Than Meets the Eye, Part 3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mirage’s role in the Autobots’ battles on Earth was a distinctly minimal one, leaving him confined to the background on the battlefield, or not present at all. In early 1985, however, the spotlight shone on Mirage again when [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] suspected him of disloyalty. The discovery of a Decepticon installation in a sector Mirage had recently observed caused Cliffjumper to leap the incorrect conclusion that he was a traitor to the Autobots, having concealed the information. After a battle with the Decepticons, Mirage risked the trust of his comrades by sneaking away to perform a plan of his own, framing the Decepticons for stealing Energon Cubes from the Insecticons. Spotting carrying the cubes by Cliffjumper, Mirage’s guilt seemed all but confirmed, and before he could reveal his innocence, he was captured and brainwashed by one of Bombshell’s mind-controlling cerebro-shells. Under Bombshell’s control, Mirage led the Autobots into an ambush, but at the battle’s end, the assorted manipulations were revealed and Cliffjumper apologised to Mirage. {{storylink|Traitor}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Towards the end of the year, Mirage was among the team of five Autobots who disguised themselves as the [[Stunticon]]s, with Mirage’s alternate mode making him the perfect choice to masquerade as [[Drag Strip]]. Penetrating the Decepticon camp, the Autobots ran into trouble when the real Stunticons arrived, trying to prove their identities by forming [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. With a combination of [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]]’s magnetic powers and Mirage’s illusion-creating ability, the Autobots were able to appear as Menasor too.  Though the deception was soon revealed, they were still able to thwart the Decepticons’ plans. {{storylink|Masquerade}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;(Mirage was absent from the events of 2005 and 2006 without explanation; however, a storyboarded scene from [[Transformers: The Movie]] featuring Mirage was cut from the finished film.  Amidst the transformation of [[Autobot City]], Mirage was to ambush the Insecticon [[Bombshell]] and was then fired upon by Megatron. Whether or not this would have killed Mirage is not made clear, but given the film&#039;s casual bodycount, it seems highly probable.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] came to Earth and announced that the Autobot/Decepticon wars were over and that the two factions had been united, Mirage was one of the first to fall in with the new regime.  The rest of the Autobots were wary of this development, and so a few (especially [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]]) considered Mirage a traitor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mirage quickly realigned himself with the Autobot cause when Shockwave&#039;s true plan was revealed, and Cliffjumper seemed to forgive him, as Mirage had saved Cliffjumper from [[Dirge]] by sneaking up on him invisibly.&lt;br /&gt;

==Toys==&lt;br /&gt;
===Generation 1===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Mirage&#039;&#039;&#039; (Autobot Car, 1984/1986/1991)&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;07&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:G1Mirage_toy.jpg|left|thumb|ohh we were supposed to turn into earth cars ... stupid [[Blurr (Armada)|blurr]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Mirage was part of the original 1984 Autobot car assortment. His mold was originally used for a &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; F-1 Ligier JS-11 racer. The toy was specifically designed to work with the launcher mechanism contained in the Optimus Prime / Battle Convoy trailer. This toy is easily broken at the waist piviot. The labels on the toy are references to several real world company. The largest name, Citanes, is a deliberate corruption of Gitanes, a French cigaratte company (quite unusual for a child&#039;s toy, but not the only cigarette reference in &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039;). The toy included Gitanes&#039; logo of a dancing gypsy woman on what ends up as Mirage&#039;s belt in robot form. &amp;quot;Ligier&amp;quot; is the name of the company that manufactures the car type, while &amp;quot;elf&amp;quot; is a reference to a French oil company that has since merged with TotalFina to become TotalFinaElf.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Hasbro and/or Takara have announced that the mold for Mirage is either lost or damaged, so a reissue is unlikely. Mirage was also included in the 1986 &#039;&#039;Good Bye Convoy&#039;&#039; giftset; this was the final release of the mold, making Mirage the only one of the original Autobots to not have been reissued in some form.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Generation 2===&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Mirage&#039;&#039;&#039; (Go-Bot, 1995)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Mirage was released in 1995 as a black and yellow recolor of the [[Go-Bot]] [[Double Clutch (G2)|Double Clutch]]. He was also planned to be released as a flipchanger, but the &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; line was cancelled to make way for &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars]]&#039;&#039;. The unreleased mold was first used in &#039;&#039;[[Machine Wars]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was also used to make &#039;&#039;[[Robots in Disguise]]&#039;&#039; [[Mirage (RID)|Mirage]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Machine Wars===&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Mirage&#039;&#039;&#039; (Basic, 1997)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Mwmirage.jpg|left|thumb|Gah!  I&#039;m teal!  Somebody recolor me, please!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Mirage&#039;s form in &#039;&#039;[[Machine Wars]]&#039;&#039; transforms into an blue and white Formula racer. Like the other Machine Wars basics, the toy is a flipchanger (having a one-step spring-loaded transformation), and his weapons are hidden in his alt mode. Unlike most of the &#039;&#039;Machine Wars&#039;&#039; toys, the head looks very similar to his G1 form. This is because the mold was originaly designed as Mirage for &#039;&#039;[[Generation 2]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was also used to make [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and [[Skid-Z (RID)|Skid-Z]].&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:RMRijie_toy.jpg|right|thumb|130px|Phew.  Thanks.]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Robot Masters===&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Rijie&#039;&#039;&#039; (Basic, 2004)&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;RM-03&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This toy used the &#039;&#039;Machine Wars&#039;&#039; mold, but in much more [[Generation 1]] colors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Because of legal reasons, &amp;quot;Ligier&amp;quot; could not be used for the name of the &#039;&#039;Robot Masters&#039;&#039; toy, so &amp;quot;Rijie&amp;quot;, which has the same pronuciation in Japan, was used instead. Curiously, the toy&#039;s instructions still identify it as &amp;quot;Ligier&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Alternators===&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Mirage&#039;&#039;&#039; (Alternator, 2006)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:AlternatorsMirage_toy.jpg|left|thumb|200px|This toy is clearly black, red, and silver.  You&#039;re just deluding yourself.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;[[Alternators]]&#039;&#039; Mirage transforms into a finely detailed 1:24 scale replica of a Ford GT, featuring opening doors, engine bay and trunk, with a realistic interior. As with most Alternators, his car body is mostly unpainted, but the metallic-flake deep blue plastic makes this hard to see.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Featuring an innovatively different robot mode, Mirage is not a straight re-interpretation of the original Mirage&#039;s robot mode, due to the completely different types of vehicles. But coincidentally the Ford GT&#039;s hood features a shape that echoes a F1-type racing car&#039;s nose and front spoiler. His engine&#039;s turbocharger forms two seperate hand guns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Mirage was never released in Japan under the &#039;&#039;[[Binaltech]]&#039;&#039; line, but was redecoed into [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rodimus]] for the [[Kiss Players]] line.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Universe===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Mirage&#039;&#039;&#039; (Spy Changer, 2006)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: For &#039;&#039;[[Universe]]&#039;&#039;, Mirage is identical to the last Kay-Bee [[exclusive]] redeco of [[Robots in Disguise (television series)| Robots In Disguise]] [[Mirage (RID)|Mirage]], transforming into a translucent green Lola Indy car. He was available only on an individual card from discount chains like The Dollar Store.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Classics===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Mirage&#039;&#039;&#039; (Classics Deluxe, 2006)&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:X_Mirage2.JPG|right|thumb|120px|Applied to Revoltech club; rejected.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Mirage was released in November 2006 in wave 2, along with the [[shortpacked]] [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. He transforms into a closed-canopy Formula racer concept car.  Mirage&#039;s paint details contain a few &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; injokes in the form of sponsor logos such as &amp;quot;[[Sparkplug Witwicky|Witwicky Sparkplugs]]&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;[[Lithone|Lithonian]] Drivetrain.&amp;quot;  Additionally, his racing number is still 26, as it was on the original toy.  Other logos, which include &amp;quot;Plasma Injection Energy&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;F.P. Racing,&amp;quot; refer to &amp;quot;pie&amp;quot; and the initials of [[Kyde|the deco artist&#039;s]] super-secret non-gay friendship cult, respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:His robot mode is a lithe upgrade to his original form, now capable of a wide range of motion. The front detaches to become a handheld electro-disruptor weapon which is said to be able to  create illusions and allow him to appear invisible.  (This is a reconciliation of Mirage&#039;s illusion-creation ability from his original tech spec profile and his invisibility power from the animated series.)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;:&#039;&#039;Jazz is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.  He is also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Meister&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Jazzg1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Eat floor, dig?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Jazz&#039;&#039;&#039; is [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s right-hand man.  Unlike [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], Prime&#039;s military strategist, Jazz responds well to change and improvisation.  Whatever surprises the Decepticons spring, Jazz can deal.  His position as Special Operations Officer calls for all the skills he possesses, yet he still has time to add some style into everything he does.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An admirer of Earth music of every kind, Jazz loves culture.  More than most other Autobots, he has his finger on the pulse of Earth trends and lingo.  Chances are, Jazz could tell you the status of almost any reality television show and each week&#039;s Top 40 list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz&#039;s personality makes him well-liked among the others of the Ark, especially [[Bumblebee]].  In fact, there is not one Autobot who &#039;&#039;doesn&#039;t&#039;&#039; like or admire Jazz.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Preliminary name:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Jazzz&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Marvel Comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
====Generation 1====&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;(Events from UK-only stories are in italics.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Jazzg1marvelfirst.jpg|left|thumb|100px|Hey, Prowl, you suck.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz was one of the Autobots who crashed on [[Earth]] four million years ago, waking up in 1984.  Jazz showed an affinity with human pop culture almost immediately, responding to [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]&#039;s non sequitur assertion that his &amp;quot;logic center dictates the most advantageous course of action in any situation&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;Well, that is neat-o, Prowl.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz&#039;s first foray into action came when the [[Decepticon]]s attacked him and his fellow Autobots at [[Witwicky Auto Repairs]], resulting in the kidnapping of [[Sparkplug Witwicky]].  Later, when Sparkplug was rescued and it was learned that the auto repairman had devised a way for the Decepticons to convert [[Earth]] fuel into a usable resource, the Autobots were enraged.  Jazz shot a stream of fire to prevent Sparkplug&#039;s escape, causing the [[human]] to suffer a heart attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It was discovered that after the Autobots crash landed on Earth, a rescue ship was sent after them which was buried somewhere in England.  The [[Man of Iron]], one of its crew, had awakened a number of times in England&#039;s history, and had become a local legend.  Jazz, along with [[Trailbreaker]], [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], and [[Bluestreak]], were dispatched to England under [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s supervision.  Jazz befriended (and kidnapped) a young boy, [[Tommy Harker]], whose dad worked at the castle where the Autobot rescue ship had been partially unearthed.  After questioning the boy, it became apparent that the rescue ship must be destroyed.  At the climax of a battle with the Decepticons over the buried ship, Jazz fired his weaponry down into it, and it was pulverized.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Generation 2====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Animated continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice Actor:&#039;&#039; [[Scatman Crothers]], &#039;&#039;[[Wally Burr]]&#039;&#039; (US), [[Kōki Kataoka]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:cybertronjazz.jpg|thumb|Spoiler alert. Haw!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blacker than the inside of a drive shaft -- uh, that&#039;s how Jazz described the north side of Cybertron. The slang-talking operations specialist was on a recon mission to ascertain Cybertron&#039;s bleak energy reserves, and his reports are what prompted the Autobot mission to search for new sources of energy outside of their home world. Jazz served as pilot for the &#039;&#039;[[Ark]]&#039;&#039; until severe asteroid turbulence knocked him from his seat. The Decepticons took advantage of the confusion and attacked, and both vessels and parties crash-landed on Earth. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four million years later, in 1984, the Autobots and Decepticons awoke reformatted to fit in on the planet. Jazz traded in his sleek Cybertronian form for an even sleeker Porsche 935 Turbo. As a lieutenant to [[Optimus Prime]] Jazz was tasked to assemble task forces and special mission teams to counter the Decepticon threat. Jazz accompanied the first mission to an off-shore oil rig, where his wrist-mounted winch and grappling hook came in handy saving Optimus Prime. He used the same line to stop Prime from riding the rapids at [[Sherman Dam]], and to pull [[Bluestreak]] and [[Ironhide]] from an unscheduled lake swim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Jazz is one of the main characters in the series up to season three, only making a few cameos with no lines.  This is because [[Scatman Crothers]] died not long after the movie finished production.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout season one, Jazz is seen giving orders and accompanying [[Optimus Prime]] on almost any mission they undertake.  In season two, Jazz actually uses his light and sound show attack on at least two occasions.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave comic continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
8.2 million years ago, Jazz and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] met [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] in the remains of [[Praxus]]&#039; [[Helix Gardens]] to discuss the worthiness of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optronix]] to lead the Autobots.  Jazz later attended the [[Matrix]]-transfer ceremony at the [[Chamber of the Ancients]]; he attempted to save Optronix - now Optimus Prime - when he was attacked by [[Decepticons]], but was restrained by Grimlock.  When Prime defeated the assassins, Jazz was convinced of his worth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon afterwards, Jazz questioned Prowl&#039;s decision to allow Prime to explore the depths of the planet alone, but was prevented from pressing the issue any further when [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] attacked [[Iacon]] with an army of Decepticons.  Jazz helped direct the battle from the [[Decagon]], but the defenders were soon overwhelmed.  Jazz was forced to begin evacuating important artifacts and hardware from the city, but was unable to finish before the Decepticons overran the Decagon.  He and a handful of Autobots made a desperate last stand, but were saved from extinction when [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] activated the planetary engines, devastating the city and forcing Shockwave&#039;s army to retreat.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7.4 million years ago, Jazz witnessed the [[space bridge]] explosion that seemingly killed Prime and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]].  After the subsequent fragmentation of the Autobot faction, Jazz remained with the Prowl-led Autobots.  He accompanied a group of Autobots to investigate a [[Trypticon (G1)|new mobile battle base]] at the [[Praetorus Wharf]], only to learn that the base was fully operational.  Despite the arrival of reinforcements, the titan was too much for Jazz and his cohorts; only when Shockwave recalled Trypticon to the [[Neutral Territories]] were they saved them from certain doom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Battered, Jazz and the others limped back to Iacon, only to be forced to repel an attack on [[Autobase]] by [[The Fallen]].  Although Jazz, [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], and [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] fought valiantly, the mysterious entity defeated them and archived his objective: freeing [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] from captivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz was among the crew of the &#039;&#039;[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]&#039;&#039; when it crashed on [[Earth]], and awoke in 1984 to battle the Decepticons.  After years of fighting, Jazz and the other Autobots took part in [[Operation Liberation]] in 1998, a joint human/Autobot operation that defeated and captured the Earth-bound Decepticons.  However, the &#039;&#039;[[Ark II]]&#039;&#039;, which was meant to convey the Autobots, the captured Decepticons, and a number of humans back to Cybertron was sabotaged by General [[Robert Hallo]], sending Jazz and his comrades to the bottom of the [[Arctic Ocean]].  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few years later, Optimus Prime awoke Jazz and a number of other Autobots, to combat the sinister [[Lazarus]].  He aided in the cleanup of Lazarus&#039; latest target, the [[SmitCo]] oil refinery, and then moved on to Lazarus&#039; base, which had been taken over by a revived Megatron and his deadly &#039;metal virus&#039;.  Jazz and the others briefly battled the Decepticons, but were stopped in their tracks when Hallo dropped a nuclear bomb on them.  The virus absorbed most of the blast, leaving the Transformers unharmed, but continued to expand across the countryside.  Jazz remained behind with a team to combat the virus, while Optimus Prime took a contingent of warriors to combat Megatron in [[San Francisco]].  Armed with [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]-designed blasters to combat the virus, Jazz and his squad fought bravely, despite the blasters draining their energy and the well-meaning interference of the Canadian Army.  But soon the virus overwhelmed them, forcing Wheeljack to sacrifice himself to destroy it.  Jazz mourned over Wheeljack&#039;s fallen form.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some time later, Jazz participated in a battle in [[Alaska]] over possession of an escape pod containing [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], only to be forced to flee with the other Autobots when Shockwave arrived from Cybertron, proclaiming a new era of peace.  While Optimus Prime and a number of other Autobots surrendered to Shockwave&#039;s lieutenant [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], Jazz was left behind on Earth to command a small team of Autobots.  After Magnus and Prime had departed, Jazz, [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]], and [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] returned to the battlefield, but found no trace of the pod or Scourge.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;:&#039;&#039;Jazz is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.  He is also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Meister&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Jazzg1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Eat floor, dig?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Jazz&#039;&#039;&#039; is [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s right-hand man.  Unlike [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], Prime&#039;s military strategist, Jazz responds well to change and improvisation.  Whatever surprises the Decepticons spring, Jazz can deal.  His position as Special Operations Officer calls for all the skills he possesses, yet he still has time to add some style into everything he does.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An admirer of Earth music of every kind, Jazz loves culture.  More than most other Autobots, he has his finger on the pulse of Earth trends and lingo.  Chances are, Jazz could tell you the status of almost any reality television show and each week&#039;s Top 40 list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz&#039;s personality makes him well-liked among the others of the Ark, especially [[Bumblebee]].  In fact, there is not one Autobot who &#039;&#039;doesn&#039;t&#039;&#039; like or admire Jazz.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Preliminary name:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Jazzz&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Japanese name: &#039;&#039;&#039;Meister&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;French-Canadian name: &#039;&#039;&#039;Saxo&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Italian name: &#039;&#039;&#039;Tigre&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Marvel Comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
====Generation 1====&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;(Events from UK-only stories are in italics.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Jazzg1marvelfirst.jpg|left|thumb|100px|Hey, Prowl, you suck.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz was one of the Autobots who crashed on [[Earth]] four million years ago, waking up in 1984.  Jazz showed an affinity with human pop culture almost immediately, responding to [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]&#039;s non sequitur assertion that his &amp;quot;logic center dictates the most advantageous course of action in any situation&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;Well, that is neat-o, Prowl.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz&#039;s first foray into action came when the [[Decepticon]]s attacked him and his fellow Autobots at [[Witwicky Auto Repairs]], resulting in the kidnapping of [[Sparkplug Witwicky]].  Later, when Sparkplug was rescued and it was learned that the auto repairman had devised a way for the Decepticons to convert [[Earth]] fuel into a usable resource, the Autobots were enraged.  Jazz shot a stream of fire to prevent Sparkplug&#039;s escape, causing the [[human]] to suffer a heart attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It was discovered that after the Autobots crash landed on Earth, a rescue ship was sent after them which was buried somewhere in England.  The [[Man of Iron]], one of its crew, had awakened a number of times in England&#039;s history, and had become a local legend.  Jazz, along with [[Trailbreaker]], [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], and [[Bluestreak]], were dispatched to England under [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s supervision.  Jazz befriended (and kidnapped) a young boy, [[Tommy Harker]], whose dad worked at the castle where the Autobot rescue ship had been partially unearthed.  After questioning the boy, it became apparent that the rescue ship must be destroyed.  At the climax of a battle with the Decepticons over the buried ship, Jazz fired his weaponry down into it, and it was pulverized.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Generation 2====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Animated continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice Actor:&#039;&#039; [[Scatman Crothers]], &#039;&#039;[[Wally Burr]]&#039;&#039; (US), [[Kōki Kataoka]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:cybertronjazz.jpg|thumb|Spoiler alert. Haw!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blacker than the inside of a drive shaft -- uh, that&#039;s how Jazz described the north side of Cybertron. The slang-talking operations specialist was on a recon mission to ascertain Cybertron&#039;s bleak energy reserves, and his reports are what prompted the Autobot mission to search for new sources of energy outside of their home world. Jazz served as pilot for the &#039;&#039;[[Ark]]&#039;&#039; until severe asteroid turbulence knocked him from his seat. The Decepticons took advantage of the confusion and attacked, and both vessels and parties crash-landed on Earth. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four million years later, in 1984, the Autobots and Decepticons awoke reformatted to fit in on the planet. Jazz traded in his sleek Cybertronian form for an even sleeker Porsche 935 Turbo. As a lieutenant to [[Optimus Prime]] Jazz was tasked to assemble task forces and special mission teams to counter the Decepticon threat. Jazz accompanied the first mission to an off-shore oil rig, where his wrist-mounted winch and grappling hook came in handy saving Optimus Prime. He used the same line to stop Prime from riding the rapids at [[Sherman Dam]], and to pull [[Bluestreak]] and [[Ironhide]] from an unscheduled lake swim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Jazz is one of the main characters in the series up to season three, only making a few cameos with no lines.  This is because [[Scatman Crothers]] died not long after the movie finished production.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout season one, Jazz is seen giving orders and accompanying [[Optimus Prime]] on almost any mission they undertake.  In season two, Jazz actually uses his light and sound show attack on at least two occasions.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave comic continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
8.2 million years ago, Jazz and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] met [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] in the remains of [[Praxus]]&#039; [[Helix Gardens]] to discuss the worthiness of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optronix]] to lead the Autobots.  Jazz later attended the [[Matrix]]-transfer ceremony at the [[Chamber of the Ancients]]; he attempted to save Optronix - now Optimus Prime - when he was attacked by [[Decepticons]], but was restrained by Grimlock.  When Prime defeated the assassins, Jazz was convinced of his worth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon afterwards, Jazz questioned Prowl&#039;s decision to allow Prime to explore the depths of the planet alone, but was prevented from pressing the issue any further when [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] attacked [[Iacon]] with an army of Decepticons.  Jazz helped direct the battle from the [[Decagon]], but the defenders were soon overwhelmed.  Jazz was forced to begin evacuating important artifacts and hardware from the city, but was unable to finish before the Decepticons overran the Decagon.  He and a handful of Autobots made a desperate last stand, but were saved from extinction when [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] activated the planetary engines, devastating the city and forcing Shockwave&#039;s army to retreat.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7.4 million years ago, Jazz witnessed the [[space bridge]] explosion that seemingly killed Prime and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]].  After the subsequent fragmentation of the Autobot faction, Jazz remained with the Prowl-led Autobots.  He accompanied a group of Autobots to investigate a [[Trypticon (G1)|new mobile battle base]] at the [[Praetorus Wharf]], only to learn that the base was fully operational.  Despite the arrival of reinforcements, the titan was too much for Jazz and his cohorts; only when Shockwave recalled Trypticon to the [[Neutral Territories]] were they saved them from certain doom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Battered, Jazz and the others limped back to Iacon, only to be forced to repel an attack on [[Autobase]] by [[The Fallen]].  Although Jazz, [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], and [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] fought valiantly, the mysterious entity defeated them and archived his objective: freeing [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] from captivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz was among the crew of the &#039;&#039;[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]&#039;&#039; when it crashed on [[Earth]], and awoke in 1984 to battle the Decepticons.  After years of fighting, Jazz and the other Autobots took part in [[Operation Liberation]] in 1998, a joint human/Autobot operation that defeated and captured the Earth-bound Decepticons.  However, the &#039;&#039;[[Ark II]]&#039;&#039;, which was meant to convey the Autobots, the captured Decepticons, and a number of humans back to Cybertron was sabotaged by General [[Robert Hallo]], sending Jazz and his comrades to the bottom of the [[Arctic Ocean]].  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few years later, Optimus Prime awoke Jazz and a number of other Autobots, to combat the sinister [[Lazarus]].  He aided in the cleanup of Lazarus&#039; latest target, the [[SmitCo]] oil refinery, and then moved on to Lazarus&#039; base, which had been taken over by a revived Megatron and his deadly &#039;metal virus&#039;.  Jazz and the others briefly battled the Decepticons, but were stopped in their tracks when Hallo dropped a nuclear bomb on them.  The virus absorbed most of the blast, leaving the Transformers unharmed, but continued to expand across the countryside.  Jazz remained behind with a team to combat the virus, while Optimus Prime took a contingent of warriors to combat Megatron in [[San Francisco]].  Armed with [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]-designed blasters to combat the virus, Jazz and his squad fought bravely, despite the blasters draining their energy and the well-meaning interference of the Canadian Army.  But soon the virus overwhelmed them, forcing Wheeljack to sacrifice himself to destroy it.  Jazz mourned over Wheeljack&#039;s fallen form.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some time later, Jazz participated in a battle in [[Alaska]] over possession of an escape pod containing [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], only to be forced to flee with the other Autobots when Shockwave arrived from Cybertron, proclaiming a new era of peace.  While Optimus Prime and a number of other Autobots surrendered to Shockwave&#039;s lieutenant [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], Jazz was left behind on Earth to command a small team of Autobots.  After Magnus and Prime had departed, Jazz, [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]], and [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] returned to the battlefield, but found no trace of the pod or Scourge.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;:&#039;&#039;Jazz is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.  He is also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Meister&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Jazz&#039;&#039;&#039; is [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s right-hand man.  Unlike [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], Prime&#039;s military strategist, Jazz responds well to change and improvisation.  Whatever surprises the Decepticons spring, Jazz can deal.  His position as Special Operations Officer calls for all the skills he possesses, yet he still has time to add some style into everything he does.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An admirer of Earth music of every kind, Jazz loves culture.  More than most other Autobots, he has his finger on the pulse of Earth trends and lingo.  Chances are, Jazz could tell you the status of almost any reality television show and each week&#039;s Top 40 list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz&#039;s personality makes him well-liked among the others of the Ark, especially [[Bumblebee]].  In fact, there is not one Autobot who &#039;&#039;doesn&#039;t&#039;&#039; like or admire Jazz.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;Preliminary name:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Jazzz&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Marvel Comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
====Generation 1====&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;(Events from UK-only stories are in italics.)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Jazzg1marvelfirst.jpg|left|thumb|100px|Hey, Prowl, you suck.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz was one of the Autobots who crashed on [[Earth]] four million years ago, waking up in 1984.  Jazz showed an affinity with human pop culture almost immediately, responding to [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]&#039;s non sequitur assertion that his &amp;quot;logic center dictates the most advantageous course of action in any situation&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;Well, that is neat-o, Prowl.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz&#039;s first foray into action came when the [[Decepticon]]s attacked him and his fellow Autobots at [[Witwicky Auto Repairs]], resulting in the kidnapping of [[Sparkplug Witwicky]].  Later, when Sparkplug was rescued and it was learned that the auto repairman had devised a way for the Decepticons to convert [[Earth]] fuel into a usable resource, the Autobots were enraged.  Jazz shot a stream of fire to prevent Sparkplug&#039;s escape, causing the [[human]] to suffer a heart attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It was discovered that after the Autobots crash landed on Earth, a rescue ship was sent after them which was buried somewhere in England.  The [[Man of Iron]], one of its crew, had awakened a number of times in England&#039;s history, and had become a local legend.  Jazz, along with [[Trailbreaker]], [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], and [[Bluestreak]], were dispatched to England under [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s supervision.  Jazz befriended (and kidnapped) a young boy, [[Tommy Harker]], whose dad worked at the castle where the Autobot rescue ship had been partially unearthed.  After questioning the boy, it became apparent that the rescue ship must be destroyed.  At the climax of a battle with the Decepticons over the buried ship, Jazz fired his weaponry down into it, and it was pulverized.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Generation 2====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Animated continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice Actor:&#039;&#039; [[Scatman Crothers]], &#039;&#039;[[Wally Burr]]&#039;&#039; (US), [[Kōki Kataoka]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:cybertronjazz.jpg|thumb|Spoiler alert. Haw!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blacker than the inside of a drive shaft -- uh, that&#039;s how Jazz described the north side of Cybertron. The slang-talking operations specialist was on a recon mission to ascertain Cybertron&#039;s bleak energy reserves, and his reports are what prompted the Autobot mission to search for new sources of energy outside of their home world. Jazz served as pilot for the &#039;&#039;[[Ark]]&#039;&#039; until severe asteroid turbulence knocked him from his seat. The Decepticons took advantage of the confusion and attacked, and both vessels and parties crash-landed on Earth. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four million years later, in 1984, the Autobots and Decepticons awoke reformatted to fit in on the planet. Jazz traded in his sleek Cybertronian form for an even sleeker Porsche 935 Turbo. As a lieutenant to [[Optimus Prime]] Jazz was tasked to assemble task forces and special mission teams to counter the Decepticon threat. Jazz accompanied the first mission to an off-shore oil rig, where his wrist-mounted winch and grappling hook came in handy saving Optimus Prime. He used the same line to stop Prime from riding the rapids at [[Sherman Dam]], and to pull [[Bluestreak]] and [[Ironhide]] from an unscheduled lake swim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Jazz is one of the main characters in the series up to season three, only making a few cameos with no lines.  This is because [[Scatman Crothers]] died not long after the movie finished production.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout season one, Jazz is seen giving orders and accompanying [[Optimus Prime]] on almost any mission they undertake.  In season two, Jazz actually uses his light and sound show attack on at least two occasions.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave comic continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
8.2 million years ago, Jazz and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] met [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] in the remains of [[Praxus]]&#039; [[Helix Gardens]] to discuss the worthiness of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optronix]] to lead the Autobots.  Jazz later attended the [[Matrix]]-transfer ceremony at the [[Chamber of the Ancients]]; he attempted to save Optronix - now Optimus Prime - when he was attacked by [[Decepticons]], but was restrained by Grimlock.  When Prime defeated the assassins, Jazz was convinced of his worth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon afterwards, Jazz questioned Prowl&#039;s decision to allow Prime to explore the depths of the planet alone, but was prevented from pressing the issue any further when [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] attacked [[Iacon]] with an army of Decepticons.  Jazz helped direct the battle from the [[Decagon]], but the defenders were soon overwhelmed.  Jazz was forced to begin evacuating important artifacts and hardware from the city, but was unable to finish before the Decepticons overran the Decagon.  He and a handful of Autobots made a desperate last stand, but were saved from extinction when [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] activated the planetary engines, devastating the city and forcing Shockwave&#039;s army to retreat.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7.4 million years ago, Jazz witnessed the [[space bridge]] explosion that seemingly killed Prime and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]].  After the subsequent fragmentation of the Autobot faction, Jazz remained with the Prowl-led Autobots.  He accompanied a group of Autobots to investigate a [[Trypticon (G1)|new mobile battle base]] at the [[Praetorus Wharf]], only to learn that the base was fully operational.  Despite the arrival of reinforcements, the titan was too much for Jazz and his cohorts; only when Shockwave recalled Trypticon to the [[Neutral Territories]] were they saved them from certain doom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Battered, Jazz and the others limped back to Iacon, only to be forced to repel an attack on [[Autobase]] by [[The Fallen]].  Although Jazz, [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], and [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] fought valiantly, the mysterious entity defeated them and archived his objective: freeing [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] from captivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz was among the crew of the &#039;&#039;[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]&#039;&#039; when it crashed on [[Earth]], and awoke in 1984 to battle the Decepticons.  After years of fighting, Jazz and the other Autobots took part in [[Operation Liberation]] in 1998, a joint human/Autobot operation that defeated and captured the Earth-bound Decepticons.  However, the &#039;&#039;[[Ark II]]&#039;&#039;, which was meant to convey the Autobots, the captured Decepticons, and a number of humans back to Cybertron was sabotaged by General [[Robert Hallo]], sending Jazz and his comrades to the bottom of the [[Arctic Ocean]].  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few years later, Optimus Prime awoke Jazz and a number of other Autobots, to combat the sinister [[Lazarus]].  He aided in the cleanup of Lazarus&#039; latest target, the [[SmitCo]] oil refinery, and then moved on to Lazarus&#039; base, which had been taken over by a revived Megatron and his deadly &#039;metal virus&#039;.  Jazz and the others briefly battled the Decepticons, but were stopped in their tracks when Hallo dropped a nuclear bomb on them.  The virus absorbed most of the blast, leaving the Transformers unharmed, but continued to expand across the countryside.  Jazz remained behind with a team to combat the virus, while Optimus Prime took a contingent of warriors to combat Megatron in [[San Francisco]].  Armed with [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]-designed blasters to combat the virus, Jazz and his squad fought bravely, despite the blasters draining their energy and the well-meaning interference of the Canadian Army.  But soon the virus overwhelmed them, forcing Wheeljack to sacrifice himself to destroy it.  Jazz mourned over Wheeljack&#039;s fallen form.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some time later, Jazz participated in a battle in [[Alaska]] over possession of an escape pod containing [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], only to be forced to flee with the other Autobots when Shockwave arrived from Cybertron, proclaiming a new era of peace.  While Optimus Prime and a number of other Autobots surrendered to Shockwave&#039;s lieutenant [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], Jazz was left behind on Earth to command a small team of Autobots.  After Magnus and Prime had departed, Jazz, [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]], and [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] returned to the battlefield, but found no trace of the pod or Scourge.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Jazzg1marvelfirst.jpg|left|thumb|100px|Hey, Prowl, you suck.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz was one of the Autobots who crashed on [[Earth]] four million years ago, waking up in 1984.  Jazz showed an affinity with human pop culture almost immediately, responding to [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]&#039;s non sequitur assertion that his &amp;quot;logic center dictates the most advantageous course of action in any situation&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;Well, that is neat-o, Prowl.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz&#039;s first foray into action came when the [[Decepticon]]s attacked him and his fellow Autobots at [[Witwicky Auto Repairs]], resulting in the kidnapping of [[Sparkplug Witwicky]].  Later, when Sparkplug was rescued and it was learned that the auto repairman had devised a way for the Decepticons to convert [[Earth]] fuel into a usable resource, the Autobots were enraged.  Jazz shot a stream of fire to prevent Sparkplug&#039;s escape, causing the [[human]] to suffer a heart attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It was discovered that after the Autobots crash landed on Earth, a rescue ship was sent after them which was buried somewhere in England.  The [[Man of Iron]], one of its crew, had awakened a number of times in England&#039;s history, and had become a local legend.  Jazz, along with [[Trailbreaker]], [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], and [[Bluestreak]], were dispatched to England under [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s supervision.  Jazz befriended (and kidnapped) a young boy, [[Tommy Harker]], whose dad worked at the castle where the Autobot rescue ship had been partially unearthed.  After questioning the boy, it became apparent that the rescue ship must be destroyed.  At the climax of a battle with the Decepticons over the buried ship, Jazz fired his weaponry down into it, and it was pulverized.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Generation 2====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Animated continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice Actor:&#039;&#039; [[Scatman Crothers]], &#039;&#039;[[Wally Burr]]&#039;&#039; (US), [[Kōki Kataoka]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:cybertronjazz.jpg|thumb|Spoiler alert. Haw!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blacker than the inside of a drive shaft -- uh, that&#039;s how Jazz described the north side of Cybertron. The slang-talking operations specialist was on a recon mission to ascertain Cybertron&#039;s bleak energy reserves, and his reports are what prompted the Autobot mission to search for new sources of energy outside of their home world. Jazz served as pilot for the &#039;&#039;[[Ark]]&#039;&#039; until severe asteroid turbulence knocked him from his seat. The Decepticons took advantage of the confusion and attacked, and both vessels and parties crash-landed on Earth. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four million years later, in 1984, the Autobots and Decepticons awoke reformatted to fit in on the planet. Jazz traded in his sleek Cybertronian form for an even sleeker Porsche 935 Turbo. As a lieutenant to [[Optimus Prime]] Jazz was tasked to assemble task forces and special mission teams to counter the Decepticon threat. Jazz accompanied the first mission to an off-shore oil rig, where his wrist-mounted winch and grappling hook came in handy saving Optimus Prime. He used the same line to stop Prime from riding the rapids at [[Sherman Dam]], and to pull [[Bluestreak]] and [[Ironhide]] from an unscheduled lake swim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Jazz is one of the main characters in the series up to season three, only making a few cameos with no lines.  This is because [[Scatman Crothers]] died not long after the movie finished production.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout season one, Jazz is seen giving orders and accompanying [[Optimus Prime]] on almost any mission they undertake.  In season two, Jazz actually uses his light and sound show attack on at least two occasions.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave comic continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
8.2 million years ago, Jazz and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] met [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] in the remains of [[Praxus]]&#039; [[Helix Gardens]] to discuss the worthiness of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optronix]] to lead the Autobots.  Jazz later attended the [[Matrix]]-transfer ceremony at the [[Chamber of the Ancients]]; he attempted to save Optronix - now Optimus Prime - when he was attacked by [[Decepticons]], but was restrained by Grimlock.  When Prime defeated the assassins, Jazz was convinced of his worth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon afterwards, Jazz questioned Prowl&#039;s decision to allow Prime to explore the depths of the planet alone, but was prevented from pressing the issue any further when [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] attacked [[Iacon]] with an army of Decepticons.  Jazz helped direct the battle from the [[Decagon]], but the defenders were soon overwhelmed.  Jazz was forced to begin evacuating important artifacts and hardware from the city, but was unable to finish before the Decepticons overran the Decagon.  He and a handful of Autobots made a desperate last stand, but were saved from extinction when [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] activated the planetary engines, devastating the city and forcing Shockwave&#039;s army to retreat.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7.4 million years ago, Jazz witnessed the [[space bridge]] explosion that seemingly killed Prime and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]].  After the subsequent fragmentation of the Autobot faction, Jazz remained with the Prowl-led Autobots.  He accompanied a group of Autobots to investigate a [[Trypticon (G1)|new mobile battle base]] at the [[Praetorus Wharf]], only to learn that the base was fully operational.  Despite the arrival of reinforcements, the titan was too much for Jazz and his cohorts; only when Shockwave recalled Trypticon to the [[Neutral Territories]] were they saved them from certain doom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Battered, Jazz and the others limped back to Iacon, only to be forced to repel an attack on [[Autobase]] by [[The Fallen]].  Although Jazz, [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], and [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] fought valiantly, the mysterious entity defeated them and archived his objective: freeing [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] from captivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jazz was among the crew of the &#039;&#039;[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]&#039;&#039; when it crashed on [[Earth]], and awoke in 1984 to battle the Decepticons.  After years of fighting, Jazz and the other Autobots took part in [[Operation Liberation]] in 1998, a joint human/Autobot operation that defeated and captured the Earth-bound Decepticons.  However, the &#039;&#039;[[Ark II]]&#039;&#039;, which was meant to convey the Autobots, the captured Decepticons, and a number of humans back to Cybertron was sabotaged by General [[Robert Hallo]], sending Jazz and his comrades to the bottom of the [[Arctic Ocean]].  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few years later, Optimus Prime awoke Jazz and a number of other Autobots, to combat the sinister [[Lazarus]].  He aided in the cleanup of Lazarus&#039; latest target, the [[SmitCo]] oil refinery, and then moved on to Lazarus&#039; base, which had been taken over by a revived Megatron and his deadly &#039;metal virus&#039;.  Jazz and the others briefly battled the Decepticons, but were stopped in their tracks when Hallo dropped a nuclear bomb on them.  The virus absorbed most of the blast, leaving the Transformers unharmed, but continued to expand across the countryside.  Jazz remained behind with a team to combat the virus, while Optimus Prime took a contingent of warriors to combat Megatron in [[San Francisco]].  Armed with [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]-designed blasters to combat the virus, Jazz and his squad fought bravely, despite the blasters draining their energy and the well-meaning interference of the Canadian Army.  But soon the virus overwhelmed them, forcing Wheeljack to sacrifice himself to destroy it.  Jazz mourned over Wheeljack&#039;s fallen form.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some time later, Jazz participated in a battle in [[Alaska]] over possession of an escape pod containing [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], only to be forced to flee with the other Autobots when Shockwave arrived from Cybertron, proclaiming a new era of peace.  While Optimus Prime and a number of other Autobots surrendered to Shockwave&#039;s lieutenant [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], Jazz was left behind on Earth to command a small team of Autobots.  After Magnus and Prime had departed, Jazz, [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]], and [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] returned to the battlefield, but found no trace of the pod or Scourge.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Generation 2 Jazz is a slight retool and redeco of the original toy. His face (apparently degraded from mold usage) now has a strange leer. His roof has been retooled with a small hole to accommodate his new bright green, spring-loaded missile launcher. All of his Martini racing stickers have been replaced with various new stickers depicting his name and the number &#039;1&#039; layed over a rainbow-colored musical note.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold became the basis for future reissues of Jazz, complete with his leering face.&lt;br /&gt;

*A commercial for Transformers reflective iron-on patches advertised the &amp;quot;Prizes in Disguise&amp;quot; competition. When the iron-on patch was used, it was possible to instead find an instant win ticket for a Transformers voice changer (of the [[Enemy]] variety) - or to have a party with &amp;quot;life size&amp;quot; Transformers! Among the &amp;quot;life size&amp;quot; Transformers shown were Jazz and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]].  If you actually did party with Jazz and Skywarp, please let us know.&lt;br /&gt;
