{{disambig3|Revenge}}
:''The Revenge is a [[starship]] from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Galvatron ship.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|To infinity and beyoooond!]]
The '''''Revenge''''' is a mighty warship granted to [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] by [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]. It has a pretty good success rate of blowing up [[Autobot shuttle]]s.

==Fiction==
===''The Transformers'' cartoon===
[[File:TFTM Decepticonshipbridge.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|For a big ship, it sure looks cramped.]]
The ''Revenge'' was given to Galvatron by Unicron shortly after the former was reformatted from the broken body of [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]. The ''Revenge'' ferried Galvatron back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], where he seized the reins of [[Decepticon]] command from the treacherous [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]]. After the Decepticons attacked [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] on [[Earth]] for the second time, the ''Revenge'' pursued two fleeing Autobot shuttles commanded by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]], successfully forcing one shuttle to crash on [[Quintessa (planet)|a strange, twisted world]] and apparently destroying Magnus's shuttle.

When Galvatron dared challenge Unicron with the [[Matrix of Leadership]], the Chaos Bringer attacked Cybertron. The ''Revenge'' was crushed by Unicron in the subsequent battle. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

In [[2006]], the ''Revenge'' scored another victory against the Autobots by blasting [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]]'s shuttle and forcing the crew to make an emergency landing at the [[Autobot Mausoleum]]. {{storylink|Dark Awakening (episode)|Dark Awakening}} Later, Galvatron and [[Cyclonus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Cyclonus]] boarded the ship to follow [[Scourge (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Scourge]], who had stolen [[Decepticon leader|leadership]] from Galvatron, to [[Earth]]. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}

In the year [[2007]], the ''Revenge'' was used during Galvatron's attack on Autobot City after the end of the [[The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2|short-lived truce]] between the two factions. After the key to the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]] was secured, the Decepticons made their getaway in the ''Revenge''. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} After the devastating attack on Cybertron, the ''Revenge'' was used by Scourge, Cyclonus, and a squad of Decepticons to pursue some wayward Autobots to the planet [[Nebulos]]. While parked there, it was destroyed by the newly created Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]], who then towed the completely undamaged ship back to the Nebulan rebel's base. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}}

==Commercial appearances==
The Revenge shot down [[Springer (G1)|Springer]]'s ship, forcing the Autobot to land on [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]]. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Springer and Wreck-Gar|Springer and Wreck-Gar commercial}}

**Hasbro ID Number: '''WFC-K28'''

:''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Galvatron comes with a pair of blasters modeled after the Revenge.

==Notes==
[[File:Rebirth-ConShipOnNebulos.jpg|120px|thumb|What the heck? Did they do a trade-in along the way?]]
*The ship is never given a name in the show, but Galvatron does refer to it as "the mothership" at the start of "[[The Rebirth, Part 1]]" episode. The name comes from ''[[Transformers: The Complete Ark]]''.
*We do not actually see the ship created; it slips out of an opening near the equatorial section of Unicron.
*It is consistent with other Decepticon ships in the Generation 1 cartoon, in that it is completely purple and has a purple afterburner.
*Among its arsenal are torpedoes, multiple cannons (presumably lasers), and [[moleculon missile]]s.
*Although the ''Revenge'' is drawn with its normal model during the attack on Autobot City and its subsequent sojourn to Cybertron in the first part of "The Rebirth", it looks entirely different once it lands on Nebulos. It's possible Cyclonus and friends used some ''other'' Decepticon ship to make the trip, but the ''Revenge'' is never seen again after this ship's destruction...
*According to [[Floro Dery]], the starship was originally intended to be oriented upside-down. Good thing there's no up in space!

== Formatting problems (just me?) ==

Now that the server has changed, all the formatting seems to have changed! Templates that should be on the right and next to the text (e.g. on episode pages) are on the left and pushing the text down! Is anyone else seeing these problems? --[[User:Flicky1991|Flicky1991]] 07:06, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
:It's not just you, I'm seeing it as well. --[[User:Boy Blunderous|Boy Blunderous]] 07:09, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
::We're on a newer version of MediaWiki, and it broke some of the templates. It'll be fixed soon, once we figure out why they're not formatting up right.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 07:22, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
:::As I said on the Community Portal just there, [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings#CSS.2FJs various LocalSettings.php variables] like $wgAllowUserCss and $wgUseSiteCss appear to have gone from "true" to "false" (or just plain deleted - I think they default false) in the move. - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 07:39, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

== Go Box problem? ==

The GoBox is currently not there, no matter which browser I view this page in. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 07:50, 27 March 2013 (EDT)
:Same for me. Normally when it disappears all I have to do is refresh the page, but even that's not working at the moment. -- [[User:Spydersix|spyder]][[User Talk:Spydersix|Use this!]] 08:00, 27 March 2013 (EDT)
::The forum signature GoBoxes are knackered too. Those just come up as a white rectangle. Something is indeed amiss. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] 09:00, 27 March 2013 (EDT)
:::So, is anyone on this yet? --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 16:02, 27 March 2013 (EDT)

== Not On Schedule ==

Did IDW stop making TF comics? If not can we please update the Schedule? [[User:Phantom|Phantom]] 13:01, 4 April 2013 (EDT)
:I don't keep track of the comics much, but I've had a bash at updating it with this month's releases. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 16:05, 4 April 2013 (EDT)
::That should be fine, I think so long as the next issues's release dates are on there. [[User:Phantom|Phantom]] 16:19, 4 April 2013 (EDT)

== Current Releases Series Addition ==

Dunno who added the series abbreviation before each entry under the IDW Transformers section under Current Releases (MtMtE, RiD, Spotlight, Monstrosity) but I really like it. Makes it easier to quickly tell which latest item you're looking for. Could the same be done with the other categories (Transformers Prime especially)? [[User:Excise|Excise]] 13:10, 12 June 2013 (EDT)

==Featured Article - October 2013==
It's October 4th - is there a new Featured Article ready to go? - [[User:RolonBolon|RolonBolon]] 20:49, 4 October 2013 (EDT)
:We're gonna need a new one soon. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] 17:23, 2 November 2013 (EDT)
I think the next featured article should be Bumper G1! - [[User:Bumblejumper|Bumblejumper]] 23:07, 4 November 2013 (EST)
:It's not impressive enough, since Bumper (G1) has barely appeared in anything. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] 23:12, 4 November 2013 (EST)
: Yeah, you got a point there! - [[User:Bumblejumper|Bumblejumper]] 23:15, 4 November 2013 (EST)

==TFP==
I noticed that Predacons Rising is still under "current releases", but it's several months old. I just wanted to mention this. - [[User:Silverboltmtmte|Silverboltmtmte]] ([[User talk:Silverboltmtmte|talk]]) 15:42, 14 December 2013 (EST)
:Though the TV premiere happened back then, the DVD release isn't that old. Besides, we have even older stuff still on that chart, like those two Rescue Bots episodes that aired over a year ago. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 17:52, 14 December 2013 (EST)
::Okay.

== Milestone page linking ==

What does everyone think about changing the Main Page disambiguation notice so that the actual number of articles links to [[Transformers Wiki:Milestones]] while the word "pages" links to the Statistics page? --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 09:39, 1 August 2014 (EDT)

==Transformers Expo==
Just want to ask whether events such as the aforementioned Expo, BotCon or TFCon should be listed on the main page. [[User:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|Optimus Prime (Convoy)]] ([[User talk:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|talk]]) 09:58, 31 October 2014 (EDT)
:TFCon isn't official, so that's out. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 11:35, 31 October 2014 (EDT)
::BotCon is ''always'' listed on the main page. Whether it's worth listing events for Asia which the majority of our readership wouldn't be able to get to, I'm not sure. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 17:12, 31 October 2014 (EDT)
:::I don't see BotCon, could you guys tell me where it is? Anyway, the Expos are pretty big in Asia, we've got some commercials on TV and adverts on public transports. Besides, I've been to the Transformers 30th Anniversary Exhibition in Korea, so I have a lot of information on that and I'm going to the one in Singapore soon, so...[[User:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|Optimus Prime (Convoy)]] ([[User talk:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|talk]]) 21:27, 31 October 2014 (EDT)
::::BotCon is usually listed in the schedule, though no one's added BotCon 2015 yet. Info on the Asia conventions would be fantastic! --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 21:53, 31 October 2014 (EDT)
:::::I'll do my best. Anyway, I've found four Expos in Asia, including ones from, South Korea, Malaysia, Macau and Singapore. They all share similar names (Transformers: 30th Anniversary Exhibition, Transformers Expo, Transformers 30th Anniversary Expo for the last two. They seem to be the same in a traveling exhibition, but I can't find any concrete evidence...(The one from Korea seems especially independent) Also, where should I put the events on the main page?[[User:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|Optimus Prime (Convoy)]] ([[User talk:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|talk]]) 22:04, 31 October 2014 (EDT)
::::::Events should only have a page if they're specifically organized by Hasbro and/or Takara, though we have an [[unofficial conventions]] page for conventions which aren't. I strongly suspect you're right about that being a traveling expo, and that it started with [[Transformers China Exhibition]]. If there's no way to prove it, I guess we need to make separate pages for them though, perhaps with notes linking them. If any of the (official) expos are currently running, we could stick them at the bottom of [[Main Page/featured-series]]. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 22:36, 31 October 2014 (EDT)

:I like the idea of it being a Rescue Bots article - I Have Heard, or Blades if we don't want to use an episode page - in honour of IHHTRS being nominated for an Annie award. (The awards are on February 6.) Star Wars is a good option too, though. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 09:34, 23 December 2015 (EST)

==GoBox Issues==
Is the GoBox just not showing up at ''all'' for anybody else? I've been browsing the wiki and the GoBox is just...gone. It's not like the image just broke, the entire thing is gone. Did the staff get rid of it or is it just bugged out? (I'm using the latest version of Google Chrome, for the record, just in case it's a browser thing). [[User:MaximalBroadjaw|MaximalBroadjaw]] ([[User talk:MaximalBroadjaw|talk]]) 13:04, 28 December 2015 (EST)

:I'm having the same problem browsing the wiki on my iPad, which uses Safari, so I don't think it's a browser issue. I'm gonna hop on my computer and see if it happens with Firefox. -[[User:Foffy the Sheep|Foffy the Sheep]] ([[User talk:Foffy the Sheep|talk]]) 13:08, 28 December 2015 (EST)

:Firefox is doing the same thing. The strange thing is, I don't even see the place where the GoBox should be. Everything below has been moved up to compensate for the loss of the GoBox. I noticed this last night, but figured I should probably wait until more people were awake to bring it up. -[[User:Foffy the Sheep|Foffy the Sheep]] ([[User talk:Foffy the Sheep|talk]]) 13:13, 28 December 2015 (EST)

== Linking to Category:Images to be replaced ==

I was thinking it would be nice if there was a link to [[:Category:Images to be replaced]] somewhere on the main page, perhaps in [[Main Page/editing-tips]], so that new editors can find the category easier and maybe help us replace some of the sub-par images on the site. Thoughts? -[[User:Foffy the Sheep|Foffy the Sheep]] ([[User talk:Foffy the Sheep|talk]]) 17:26, 2 February 2016 (EST)

== Current Releases RID linking? ==

It might be helpful for the terms Cartoon, IDW Comic, Signature Publishing and Book to link to their respective articles, instead of requiring users to click on the series title then navigate to the specific pages from there.

== Other wiki plagiarizing ==

So I was trying to find online stores for transformers and I found this other transformers wiki
(http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Bombshell)
pretty much all the articles are just direct copies of pages on this wiki {{unsigned|Milthar|16:11, 17 May 2016‎ }}
: That wiki didn't copy us so much as they used to ''be'' us. We used to be on Wikia, and then Wikia got [[Transformers Wiki:Community Portal/Complaints|progressively more terrible]] so [[Transformers Wiki talk:Community Portal/Leaving|we decided to leave]]. But then Wikia wouldn't delete the old version of the wiki, so it stayed up and has been shambling along as sort of a zombie-wiki ever since. --[[User:Andrusi|Andrusi]] ([[User talk:Andrusi|talk]]) 13:12, 17 May 2016 (EDT)
::They've actually started to make some major changes lately. I'm not sure if I'd characterize the changes as good ones, but they are definitely changes.

::::That's doubly funny because they are (finally) trying to at least reduce (if not eliminate) the humor to make themselves more distinct from us.

== HELP an under-construction wiki regarding ads? ==

Hello, I'm the head admin of a fellow wiki currently in the final stages of becoming independent from Wikia. There is only a very small amount of things left to do before making the official reveal, one of those (and a rather important one) being ads. Can anyone tell me how you added the "Advertisements" port on the sidebar on the left? And how you added things to that such as a Donate button? I can't seem to find any useful info online. Is it an extension that is being used, and if so, in what way and what extension is it? If you don't know how it works but maybe you know someone who does know, can you lead me to a way to contact them so I can ask? The wiki URL is my username, but add a .org at the end.

Please and thank you!! :) [[User:Wikizilla|Wikizilla]] ([[User talk:Wikizilla|talk]]) 19:06, 1 September 2016 (EDT)
:The code to insert the ads is all from [https://www.projectwonderful.com/ Project Wonderful].

::Wait, so does that include whatever is used to create the actual sidebar portlet? As in, the actual box that says "ADVERTISEMENT" and contains these ads?

Recommending a new page for Food Network shows that have Transformers specials. I'm watching an episode of Cake Wars right now, but I came in late and I don't know the full story.

== Navigation menu ==

Should we remove Rescue Bots from the main navigation on the left, since the series will have been over for a year by this time next week? And on a similar note, should we slot in the Prime Wars Trilogy since Titans Return is currently airing and Power of the Primes is tentatively set for next year? -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 14:38, 15 November 2017 (EST)

New information has come this month. We should create the page now or we have to wait until the official announcement--[[User:Crosshairs|Crosshairs]] ([[User talk:Crosshairs|talk]]) 20:38, 11 February 2018 (EST)

== Adding BotBots to Navigation ==
We should probably do that. I don't know how to do that, or I would have. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 19:57, 3 November 2018 (EDT)
:Should we add War for Cybertron: Siege as well? --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 21:45, 3 November 2018 (EDT)
::So... we gonna add BotBots? --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 21:30, 29 November 2018 (EST)

In fact... is there some reason we don't add currently-selling major toylines to the Navigation bar? There is NOTHING linking to Siege or Studio Series or BotBots on the mainpage first-screen (unless you get lucky with a Go! Box); you gotta scroll down and dig out a link from the "Schedule", and the most obvious direct links are at the literal bottom of the page. This seems very wrong, ''especially'' given there are now three non-continuing series in the Navigation bar (which also end up in the "Current Releases" box on the right). 
I feel like stuff like Cyberverse and Rescue Bots Academy should link to the franchise pages, not the fiction page. (Bumblebee I'm willing to quibble on (film) vs (franchise) but I lean towards the latter.) --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 20:59, 8 December 2018 (EST)

== TCG to navigation? ==

Am i the only one who thinks that the TCG should be on the navigation sidebar as all current toy lines get on there Arren1234 18:31, 6 January 2019 (EST)

I'd second that idea. I've helped edit the page and seeing as it is a current, ongoing part of the fandom, it would make sense to include it on the sidebar. MrRoboto

== Go-Bots ==

Considering this wiki long ago decided to leave any non-TF-related Go Bots material to other wikis is there a reason the Go Bots comic is listed in the current release section? [[User:Indridcold13|Indridcold13]] ([[User talk:Indridcold13|talk]]) 23:44, 7 January 2019 (EST)

::I think he's asking why the comic series is included on here at all when it's not a Transformers comic nor tied to any Transformers media. Like, why not have GBWiki do that instead? Its [[gbwiki:Main Page|main page]] has a News section; for lack of a "Current Releases" section of its own (understandibly so, of course), the comic series name and issue number could go there instead. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 00:19, 8 January 2019 (EST)

== Adding icons for the IDW Hasbro and GoBots wikis ==

There was some discussion on the Allspark thread a couple of weeks ago about adding icons for the two sister wiki to the Main Page alongside our Twitter and Tumblr links (and also remove the Blogspot link) with a couple of mockups made to show what it would look like. You can find the two examples in the couple of posts starting [https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/101932-tfwikinet-thread-30/page-635#entry3881624 here]. Any feedback welcome! --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 18:47, 15 June 2019 (EDT)

::::::::::I guess it's a case of it being added back when we left Wikia (We had [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=197671 an announcement] that linked to both URLs) and the link was kept as the Main Page changed.

Fireguard appears to be Roadburner's partner Wheel Blaze. Most likely they just renamed him due to Siege Wheel Blaze being created as a standalone Micromaster Firetruck. Might want to link that to Wheel Blaze.

War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)

2020-08-06T17:22:31Z

806mtson: Fixed the Pre-Facelift Deluxe Class Rotorstorm image

{{disambig3|War for Cybertron}}
[[File:War-for-Cybertron-Trilogy-logo.jpg|center|400px]]

The '''''War for Cybertron Trilogy''''' is [[Hasbro]]'s designation for a [[subline imprint|segment]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Transformers: Generations]]'' line that launched in early [[2019]]. The line aims to serve as a back-to-basics approach to ''Transformers'', with a focus on [[show-accuracy|media accuracy]], [[articulation]], and a consistent robot mode [[scale]].

The first installment of the trilogy, ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'', is set during the final days of the Transformers' civil war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], reimagining classic characters to give them Cybertronian [[alternate mode]]s and battle damage deco. The second installment, ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise (toyline)|Earthrise]]'', takes place during an interstitial period as the Autobots and Decepticons travel through space, seeing many gain Earthly vehicle modes, while also introducing space-faring characters such as the [[Quintesson]]s and [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]]. A third and final installment, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom (toyline)|Kingdom]]'', is set to follow.

In keeping with installments of the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'', the ''War for Cybertron'' lines feature a unified, line-wide [[gimmick]]: weaponry. All figures are now compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], with Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader Class figures being littered in [[5 mm post]]s to facilitate being armed up with any combination of compatible weaponry.

Replacing [[Power of the Primes (toyline)|the last line]]'s [[Prime Master]]s are [[Battle Master]]s, small figures that turn into modular handheld weapons and include "Fire Blast" effect pieces to simulate blaster or rocket booster discharge across all price points. [[Micromaster]] Teams replace Legends Class; in addition to their own individual vehicle forms, each team of two Micromasters can combine into large weapons.

The C.O.M.B.A.T. System also sees the introduction of [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|Weaponizer]]s and [[A.I.R. Lock System|Modulator]]s, Transformers which can be disassembled into a variety of 5 mm compatible weapons and accessories. As the trilogy transitioned into ''Earthrise'', the focus of the [[play pattern]] shifted to base modes, introducing the [[A.I.R. Lock System]] of connectable ramps and roads to allow kids to create combined battle stations.

{{anchor|Netflix}}
Launching in conjunction with the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon]] on [[Netflix]], this confusingly-named [[subline imprint]] was unveiled by Hasbro at New York [[Toy Fair 2020]]. With the cartoon featuring [[character model]]s based directly on Hasbro's toy molds, the toyline in turn features animation-accurate weathering and extensive deco. With the exception of three exclusives not based on the Netflix cartoon, the line is [[exclusive]] to [[Walmart]] in the US.

====Deluxe Class====
Intended to consist of ten releases, each figure in the Deluxe Class assortment includes a piece of a flimsy, cardboard [[Teletraan I]] backdrop which, once completed, can serve as a display. These cost exactly $0.12 USD less than the MRSP of normal ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Deluxe Class releases. Each wave features three battle-damaged redecoes of pre-existing toys and two original decoes (or toolings, in the case of Wave 2).

Also known as "Battle 3-Packs", and costing $10 USD more than the MRSP of normal ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Voyager Class releases, the price is made up with two additional Battle Masters or a pair of Micromasters.

These "Leader Unboxing" figures are presented in windowless boxes designed to look like Cybertronian ammo crates. Coded sections of the box (apparently) contain spoilers for early episodes of the accompanying show. Costing nearly $10 USD more than the MRSP of normal ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Leader Class releases, the price is also made up with a Battle Master and other accessories.

====Exclusives====
[https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-war-for-cybertron-unicron Announced] by [[Hasbro Pulse]] on [[July 15]], [[2019]], [[Unicron/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Unicron]] is the largest and most expensive ''Transformers'' toy ever produced, and the first to be released as a crowdfunded project from [[HasLab]]. By the closing of the funding period on [[October 6]], the project had officially accrued over 12,000 backers, each of whom is to exclusively receive their own Unicron on its release in [[2021]].

Two more exclusives were released on Hasbro Pulse in the US. Originally planned to debut at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2020, the Quintesson Pit of Judgment was eventually made available on Hasbro Pulse after the event was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack features an ''Earthrise'' ID number, but is not branded or marketed as part of the said subline.

;''Selects''
Hasbro announced the ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' branding in late 2018 to run alongside the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy''. [[Hasbro Pulse]] debuts ''Generations Selects'' figures for the U.S. and Canadian markets while fans in Hasbro's other markets must resort to various physical or online retailers. The Soundwave Spy Patrol 3rd Unit onward are only labeled ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' (even though the Spy Patrol set was [[:File:ToyFair2020-HasbroSlideShow11.jpg|shown]] as part of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise (toyline)|Earthrise]]'' during the [[Toy Fair 2020]] presentation).

As per brand unification, Hasbro ''Selects'' figures are sometimes though not consistently made available for Japanese fans via [[TakaraTomy Mall]].

Talk:Gold Plastic Syndrome

2020-04-11T19:52:51Z

806mtson: I just wrote down a potential solution. I don't know if it works.

About TM megs, I think the plastic used has some form of GPScombined with problems with stress. From what I've found, the ''Beast Wars Metals'' Metals Megatron does not have the problems Hasbro's TM megatron has, nor does ''Armada'' Predacon. That, and the post common breaking points on toys with GPS are stressed areas like joints, pegs, and fist holes. --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 15:47, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I've been talking with Kyde, and he says that ABS plastic is the kind that GPS affects. (Versus PVC or nylon). I'll bug 'im to research it a bit more. You know, find out what causes the "swirlies." --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 16:24, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

:Might not be the right answer, but my hypothesis is that the fillers and paint added to the plastic don't mix entirely right, like oil and water, and over time either chemically seperate or oxidize, leaving behind a messy gold powder and broken childhood memories. [[User:70.161.57.72|70.161.57.72]] 03:33, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Having talked with a few people who have snapped Megatrons, the breaks on that toy all sound very clean to me, and sound liek a "Gradual pressure" situation. As such, I can only conclude that the original TM Megatrons simply had the wrong kind of plastic for that joint, one that would not stand up to the constant pressure applied in transformation, not "bad" plastic. And as the article notes, GPS breaks are anything but clean... I've got a few toys that suffer from it... virtually all of them were like-new (being either purchased in sealed bubbles or were obvious display pieces), and they CRUMBLED near-instantly. There was no give, no pressure, just *turn * *CRUNCH* *flinders*. I'll be taking pictures of my GPS-affected Roadblock to illustrate. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 19:49, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

:Will one of those pictures be used to illustrate this article? (I suppose for aesteric purposes, it should be a picture of Electro...)-[[User:Derik|Derik]] 06:26, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

::No, I thought I'd just let it sit on my hard drive and I'd never show anyone. What the fuck do you THINK I even brought it UP for? --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 09:58, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

:::Hey, I take notes and snap all sorts of TF related stuff and just have it sit on my hard drive. Mostly out of laziness for actualyl doing anythign with it. The Wiki is funt hat way- it's so much less WORK to put it up someplace... -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 12:00, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

RE: Joes: I clearly remember seeing posts in the Joe fandom, I forget where, though, that Serpentor suffered from GPS, and that one guy had Serpentor's entire thigh assembly collapse into dust and shards. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 23:16, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

== Skyquake ==

Does anyone know if the Predator Skyquake (aside from the missile launcher) suffers from GPS? I've been wanting to get all of the Predators and Turbomasters, but since I like to play with my TFs, I don't want to spend a lot of money on one who will crumble apart when I pick it up. --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 16:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

:Skyquake isn't actually gold. That deeper bronzey color plastic is not at all known for disintegrating, although Skyquake IS notable for breaking off Predator gun handles because of his giant deep fists and overall mass going up against the same tiny pegs his little friends have.

(It is HILARIOUS that Siph hasn't actually uploaded those pictures of Roadblock ten months later.) -[[User:LV|LV]] 16:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
: Thanks. Do you know if the Predator launchers get GPS? The launcher from my Stalker broke at the trigger, but I'm not sure if it was GPS or just because it was old hard plastic that really should have had a hinge to push the trigger. --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 21:17, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

::"That deeper bronzey color plastic is not at all known for disintegrating" - I appreciate it was said two years ago, but *what*? Skyquake's supersight contraption breaks ludicrously easily, without warning or stress marks.--[[User:PTX-015R|PTX-015R]] 11:34, 13 May 2009 (EDT)

== Couple'a questions... ==

With the new Movie figures coming out, I've noticed Starscream has the characteristic streaks of color that are evident in toys that suffer from GPS. So what I'm wondering is a) do the swirls only appear in the ABS grade plastics, or so they appear in PVC as well? and b) What is the general life-span of a toy that suffers this lamentable condition? [[User:Dracokanji|Dracokanji]] 12:51, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I forgot to mention in the above post that I noticed Energon Starscream's transparent green wings seem to suffer from GPS. I myself rarely used the hinge on the wings used for the missile launchers (considering I LOST one of the missiles... ) but one day I noticed a break in the plastic around where the pin that holds it in place was situated. It didn't look like a stress fracture, but more like plastic rot. If anyone else has noticed this, maybe it should be added to the main article.

:There's already been one reported case of a Protoform Starscream suffering from a GPS-like disintegration, but that user added extra paint details using some kind of paint markers, which may have accelerated or enhanced the process. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 17:47, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

::Yeah. Enamel paints can have odd chemical effects on certain TF plastics. I painted an old Tracks black about a decade back, and the paint made the blue car-panel parts all gummy. I'm disinclined to think Protoscream will have issues unless you start adding chemicals into his mix. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 01:42, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

::I forgot to mention one last thing. Is there any way to prevent the plastic from deteriorating? I don't do custom painting, so that won't be a problem. What I am worried about is if oxidation has something to do with it, and how long older figures (g1, beast wars, etc.) lasted before turning to powder. [[User:Dracokanji|Dracokanji]] 01:32, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

==Thunder Clash==
Okay, I see Thunder Clash got pulled off the list, but I'm going to dispute that one. Mine in particular, which I keep in the box 95% of the time, cleanly (no whiteness) snapped off both ratchet tabs within the feet a couple years back. A year after the right fist split cleanly on the inside (also without whiteness). I'm terrified to touch the handgun. This sure as hell sounds like GPS to me, don't you think?--[[User:MCRG|MCRG]] 07:06, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

:Yeah, TC is a textbook example of GPS. That's the whole reason why his gun is impossible to find. I don't remember anyone's lasting more than a few months "back in the day". The missile launcher bays are also known to just fall apart, as well as the tabs inside his feet.. --[[User:PTX-015R|PTX-015R]] 11:34, 13 May 2009 (EDT)

== Seibertron's Slingshot gallery ==

Seibertron's G2 Slingshot gallery has come pics of a very broken one. We might want to use one of those for the main pic. --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 03:22, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

== Variants==
Can a similar form of GPS happen to Alternators? My Rarley played with Hound Alternator is showing MAJOR signs of stress all over, especially on the shiny green areas. He is one of my favorite figures, I really don't want him to break :([[User:AutobotFreak643|AutobotFreak643]] 19:09, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
:GPS breaks don't show stress marks.--[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 20:05, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
::Worth noting though that it's only called "Gold Plastic Syndrome" because that's the most common plastic to show the classic symptoms. It's really a problem with ''any'' swirly/metallic plastic.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 20:10, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
:::That's something else - other shiny/metallic plastic is more prone to *breaking* due to stress, yes. Looking at you, TM Megatron, but it's not the sort of "randomly crumble into flinders/dust out of nowhere" behavior that GPS specifically refers to. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 19:25, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
::::Right. GPS is CRUMBLING like dried-out clay, not snapping. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 21:35, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

== UT Optimus Prime ==

You haven't really specified ''which'' UT Optimus Prime has GPS. You say "Leader Class," but there isn't a toy from that entire franchise family that has metallic plastic for its fists. Can you be more specific?--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 15:51, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
:Of course, the simple answer is that none of them have GPS, unless the K-Mart super base version's cab starts exploding.--[[User:MCRG|MCRG]] 13:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
::Armada leader prime,his arms suffer from GPS. Who keeps removing the info about protoform starscream? [[User:Rhinox555|Decepticon Rhinox]] 22:22, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Armada leader prime had no gold plastic on him, just gold paint applications.. Even the K-Mart super base version didn't have any on the ''arms''. As for Starscream, the only confirmed cases of him showing symptoms are on custom figures who have been repainted.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 22:33, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
::::His cab's arms crumbled on mine for no reason. :-(. [[User:Rhinox555|Decepticon Rhinox]] 22:36, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::Superbase Prime does indeed have gold plastic, most notably the cab elbow joints, supermode "ears" and minicon-activated blasters, but he does not suffer from GPS. GPS breaks are uneven and leave plastic dust and plastic shards. They also do not leave white marks on the plastic since GPS isn't a stress fracture. I don't have my Superbase Prime in front of me, but I'm pretty sure his gold plastic is unpaintable, meaning it isn't the type of plactic that can be affected. Also, there has been exactly ONE case of Protoform Starscream disintegrating, and it was a figure the owner had painted. --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 22:59, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::My prime did not have stressmarks either,it just shattered for no reason. [[User:Rhinox555|Decepticon Rhinox]] 08:00, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Yeaaaaaaah, i can add my Armada super base 'Prime to it, one of the arms turned to dust, without stressmarks with a bit of dust(ON the arm joint).--[[User:Sunjumper|Sunjumper]] 15:03, 6 September 2009 (EDT)
::::::::Talked to two people about the figure on a Convention today. Both of them had their figures succumb to GPS as well. So he definitely, '''definitely''' suffers from it.--[[Special:Contributions/86.87.28.191|86.87.28.191]] 15:32, 13 June 2010 (EDT)
:::::::::This needs investigation, since that'd be the first case of nylon-based gold(ish) plastic having GPS. I basically don't believe these were cases other than stress wearing out the joints in the elbows until I see otherwise. Considering this is five years later and there haven't been any widespread reports seems particularly against it being GPS.--[[User:MCRG|MCRG]] ([[User talk:MCRG|talk]]) 16:36, 3 February 2015 (EST)
::::::::::The case of Armada Super Base Optimus is more likely a result of the susceptibility of metallic plastics being more easily broken, rather than deterioration. The most common point of failure is a stress fracture that appears to run through where the rivet if positioned in the elbow. The thing is, brittle plastic will most likely NOT show stress marks - it's not "plasticy" enough to deform in a way that would produce stress marks. The problem is, the elbow used an octagonal lower piece that required a significant amount of force to make it rotate against the flat section of the bicep that holds it in position. Slowly turning the arm shows that the whole elbow section would warp to allow the bicep to reposition, and in the process it would damage the forearm joint. It was basically causing the swivel to ratchet itself apart slowly. Having the corners of the octagonal section be rounder could have potentially solved the issue. This is a case of manufacturers relying too much on the physical properties of the material to compensate for a lack of mechanical parts. --[[User:King Starscream|King Starscream]] ([[User talk:King Starscream|talk]]) 15:26, 22 April 2016 (EDT)
::::::::::: Minor correction here. The LOWER elbow breaks more often than the upper joint, but it's still due to the upper joint being shaped the way it is as well as the force needed to move the piece. Because of the shape and position of the elbow, the easiest spot to hold while turning it is the forearm, which puts pressure on the hole that the pin is running through. That's why basically ever Armada Optimus breaks in the exact same way - a crack running straight through that same pinhole. --[[User:King Starscream|King Starscream]] ([[User talk:King Starscream|talk]]) 15:30, 29 April 2016 (EDT)

== Torca & Killbison ==

Does he actually have GPS? All I've seen are ones with a snapped tail joint. Also, I've heard varying reports on whether Killbison actually has GPS or not. --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 19:06, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

== Your toy is DOOMED! DOOOOOOOMED!!! ==

I was under the impression that GPS is not universal across the board, even in toys where it's common. Something about how some plastic batches weren't mixed well, but some were. Am I just confused and clinging to foolish hope? -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 10:59, 28 June 2009 (EDT)
:I dunno. My Skyquake seems fine. My Electro hasn't disintegrated. I dunno about G2 Slingshot yet; I'll be getting to G2 after the Micromaster pictures, I think. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 12:00, 28 June 2009 (EDT)
::My Japanese Electro shows no sign of it, and so does my Skyquake--apart from the highly disturbing "birth" of a few little gold fragments the first time I folded his scope into his torso, but never again mind you. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] 17:19, 1 September 2009 (EDT)

==De-snarking?==

While the new information here certainly is welcome, where did all this talk about 'snapping like your grandma's ankles' and, worse yet, 'like a tight virgin in prison' come from? Way too many jokes are getting in the way of the facts here, I think. [[Special:Contributions/200.3.177.134|200.3.177.134]] 14:24, 15 July 2009 (EDT)

==Hasbro's Q&A session about GPS==

http://www.transformerland.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3481

It was noted here that hasbro is awere of the problem, and has done everything they could so that this might never happen again.(Hopefully this will save Protoform Starscream)--[[User:Sunjumper|Sunjumper]] 15:16, 1 September 2009 (EDT)

== Movie Legends Scorponok ==

I've seen many reports that the tip of Legends Scorponok's tail (originally made out of soft rubbery plastic) has a tendency to harden and then break. My Scorponok's tail appears to be very hard now, and I don't even DARE trying to apply force to it to see if it will break. Is this related to GPS? Should it be mentioned here? It seems to be a common problem, not a few isolated incidents.--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] 11:38, 20 September 2009 (EDT)

== Animated Arcee ==

Of course she isn't GPS, but she is so #$%& fragile. I believe she needs to be covered in this section. Specially her thumb (Arcee Thumbs Syndrome)_--[[User:ACIDSTORM92|ACIDSTORM92]] 21:44, 5 March 2010 (EST)
:We're not going to include every toy that breaks into this article. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 23:48, 5 March 2010 (EST)
:Maybe, but her pink glittery plastic is kind of GPS to me, because of the nature of the plastic.--[[User:ACIDSTORM92|ACIDSTORM92]] 01:14, 6 March 2010 (EST)
:With Arcee, the common complaint is the stress marks on the thumbs, with them actually breaking being a secondary issue. The article repeatedly states that GPS does not have stress marks. Stress marks are a warning and a luxury where this particular thing is concerned. Since Arcee shows stress, she's not a case of GPS... just bad engineering/weak plastic. She doesn't belong here.

[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/300674-warning-universe-micromaster-superion-suffers-gold-plastic-syndrome.html] There's also talks about Movie Protoform Starscream, but reports on him seem to be 50/50 (mine was fine a week ago) suggesting that he came out in a transitional period when Hasbro fixed the problem.--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] 18:03, 16 December 2010 (EST)

== Youtube video for GPS ==

claywyatt1982 has uploaded a video demonstrating Gold Plastic Syndrome:

:I WILL CRUSH YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS indeed.
:I don't think there would be a problem with putting it in the "External Links" session--we have several instances of linking to 'net fan reviews of, say, the release of Marvel #1, or MOSC rubber rot on the Pretender Monsters. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] 08:16, 21 April 2011 (EDT)

== Transmetal Megatron ==

So is [[Megatron (BW)/toys#MegaTransmetal|Transmetal Megatron]] GPS or not? According to this page it is, according to his page it isn't clear what is the cause of his fragility. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 08:48, 22 September 2011 (EDT)
: In short, no. TM Megs has the problem of metallic plastic being more susceptible to stress, but doesn't just spontaneously disintegrate. --[[User:King Starscream|King Starscream]] 15:57, 10 November 2011 (EST)

== Cybertron Repugnus ==

I think [[Repugnus (Cybertron)|Cybertron Repugnus]] suffers from GPS, specifically at the lower jaws, which easily break when you try yo make him hold his tail/flail.
:That sounds more like a stress fracture than GPS. Remember, just because it breaks doesn't mean it is GPS. GPS is crumbling for no reason, not snapping when things are forced into tight spaces. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 14:02, 18 October 2011 (EDT)
::It did not snap : it crumbled. First the peg, then the whole jaw. Looks like GPS to me, but I could be wrong. Just wanted to know if anybody else experimented this.[[Special:Contributions/82.238.12.114|82.238.12.114]] 08:48, 19 October 2011 (EDT)

:No way, even if that figure did have GPS, it's way too soon for that to be the cause of yours breaking. Your "gentle toss" was probably not as gentle as you think.--[[Special:Contributions/76.226.102.10|76.226.102.10]] 17:27, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

== Remove mention of TM Megatron? ==

Given that [[Megatron_(BW)/toys#MegaTransmetal|TM Megs's own writeup]] says he DOESN'T actually suffer from GPS, shouldn't that toy's mention on this page be removed? --[[User:AutoFire|AutoFire]] 23:41, 1 November 2013 (EDT)

== TF only? ==
Is GPS something that only affects Transformers, or has it been noted in various toylines in general? Cuz for whatever reason the way I'm seeing the article written, it seems like it's a problem specific to the transformers brand. {{unsigned|BlackStarscream}}
:G.I. Joe has [[Serpentor]], who's listed on the page as suffering from it. I did a quick Google or two and couldn't find any mention of other toylines having a big problem with gold plastic.

:::Definitely other lines have it. Snizzard Lips, a gold and green snake monster from the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Evil Space Aliens line (1993) has GPS. It's very hard to find one whose tail has not partially crumbled. Related is "Popy disease", sparkly blue plastic that tends to shatter just like GPS. Notable examples from Popy's Chogokin line are Gordion (released as Gardian in the Godaikin line in the US) whose knees notoriously shatter and Albegas Beta (the blue Voltron II robot in the Voltron line) whose legs and other blue plastic body parts like to shatter. In fact, even the Diaclone F-15 Robo predecessor to Thundercracker's sparkly blue plastic wings crumbled on me (that was pretty heartbreaking) and my friend's Microman Microchange Browning (the blue one) had a waist that just crumbled even though he was extremely careful with it. --[[User:Ginrai|Ginrai]]
:::Probably the strangest one: you know how Zelda games tend to come in gold cartridges or disks? Well, the Majora's Mask one is made of metallic gold plastic. Needless to say, the first image result for "Majora's Mask cartridge broken" is a picture of one with a massive piece sheared right off and no visible bends or stress marks, and there's a whole lot of other pictures that seem to show the same problem.

== TM2 Megatron? ==

While, at this point, it is quite obvious that Transmetal Megatron is NOT in any way afflicted by plastic degradation, I've noticed that the lower leg pivots on my Transmetal 2 Megatron are starting to splinter and flake away from the joint rather distressingly. It leaves the same sort of ragged edges, dust, and splinters that GPS typically results in. I'm not really sure how many others have noticed a similar situation. Indeed, I only realized that the plastic fragments were coming from that particular figure on close examination, since they were falling off of an otherwise obscured part. Can anyone confirm whether or not this is actually the case? --[[User:King Starscream|King Starscream]] ([[User talk:King Starscream|talk]]) 16:11, 28 December 2015 (EST)
:I came on here to find this exact issue since I couldn't find any mention of it anywhere else, mine was also suffering from the flaking issue on his lower leg, and then finally snapped this past week just sitting around.

== The SCP link ==

There's [http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-4496 an article on the SCP Foundation wiki] about Gold Plastic Syndrome and it's pretty well-written, so I added it to the external links.

== General Grievous ==

So I looked up GPS on YouTube to see if there were any interesting videos to watch (hello there, boredom!) and I came across this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiPjvT_694U&t=59s Should we add General Grievous and his wheel bike to the Star Wars list of GPS victims? The video is almost a year old and I haven't seen any other videos about Grievous having GPS. --[[User:Wildstreak|Wildstreak]] ([[User talk:Wildstreak|talk]]) 11:43, 27 March 2020 (EDT)

== My idea for a Potential Treatment ==

I have an idea as a potential treatment (not cure as it may need to be repeated a couple times to keep being effective). I have no idea if this would work. I am just saying a potential solution. That solution is Armor-All Plasticizer. The idea is that using a plasticizer for cars on the Gold Plastic might give the toy a little more time. My idea for the process is 1) Make a tub of Armor-All Plasticizer 2) Holding any non Gold Plastic Parts, gently put the toy in 3) Allow the Armor-All to soak into the toy and 4) take it out. If anyone has a toy that is a common victim of GPS and it hasn't fallen victim to it, try this process out and tell me if it works. --[[User:806mtson|806mtson]] ([[User talk:806mtson|talk]]) 15:52, 11 April 2020 (EDT)

806mtson: I just added my own take on the situation,

I have an idea
Hirigana instead of Katakana
Try translating San D-Go in Hirigana. Kamen Rider Zi-O vs Kamen Rider Geiz for the win.--[[User:806mtson|806mtson]] ([[User talk:806mtson|talk]]) 23:16, 5 April 2020 (EDT)

Croaks is such a bummer. He literally ruins everything. This one time, there were a bunch of bots going for a swim … he flushed the toilet! He just can’t help spoiling all the fun with his poisonous personality.

'''Trisourtops''' was once the most righteous dude on the beach: whether he was carving waves, grubbing some surf, or just hanging ten on the dawn patrol (or hanging ''six'', in his case), he was the kind of guy who was always hangin' loose... but that was a long time ago. Washed up in more ways than one, this sour 'bot now spends most of his time coming up with new ways to totally harsh the beach buzz, devising elaborate schemes to spoil the fun of locals and Bennys alike. He'll even, like, go to the bathroom in the pool, man! Most uncool.

Hello World, I am Michael Thomas Schlem. I am making this account to give you guys some help and some images. Allow me to help. My YouTube accounts (one is my school Google Account) is my name. I've been watching Transformers toy reviews for a while. I got interested while watching Scrap Mechanic Transformers from Luap and others. Some of my Transformers YouTubers I've watch were Thew Adams, Emgo316, and Baltmatrix.
The only problem I have is I can't upload pictures or create my own page. Could someone help?
