Silverbolt (G1)

2007-12-14T19:51:52Z

82.34.51.74: /* Animated Continuity */

{{disambig3|Silverbolt}}

:''Silverbolt is an [[Autobot]] [[Aerialbot]] and a [[Maximal]] from the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:G1_Silverbolt_cartoon.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Has anyone seen my lip balm?"]]

'''Silverbolt's''' character is defined by his extreme [[Wikipedia:Acrophobia|fear of heights]] and by his refusal to bow to it. He constantly struggles to project the image of a brave, determined soldier to hide his fear from others. [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] named him leader of the Aerialbots in the hopes that worrying about them would give him something else to focus on besides his own phobia. This has proven true and, not surprisingly, the mature, responsible Silverbolt makes an excellent commander.

He can combine with his fellow Aerialbots to form the torso of [[Superion (G1)|Superion]].

:''French-Canadian name'': '''Éclairo'''<br>
:''Italian name'': '''Radiant'''

==Fiction==
===Animated Continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Charles Adler]] (US), [[Tomomichi Nishimura]] (Japan)

[[Image:G1Silverbolt_Key1.jpg|left|thumb|150px|"So long, cruel world!" Actual episode quote. Seriously.]]
Silverbolt was constructed out of a low-flying cargo transport vessel, which was modified to resemble an Earthen Concorde. He was later given life by [[Vector Sigma]], along with the other [[Aerialbots]], then returned to [[Earth]] with the Autobots via [[Omega Supreme]]. It was soon discovered that Silverbolt had a crippling weakness: an intense fear of heights, due to his low-altitude origins. Conversely, he was the only Aerialbot who wasn't a complete jerk. Because of this, Optimus made him commander of the Aerialbots, reasoning that it would give him something to worry about other than his acrophobia. He proved worthy of this role when he persuaded his mutinous team mates to help the Autobots protect humanity, by showing them how [[Sparkplug_Witwicky|Sparkplug]] was able to disregard his fatigue at will due to his concern for [[Omega_Supreme_(G1)|Omega Supreme's]] well-being, something robots cannot do.

As the combined forces of the Autobots and Aerialbots sent the Decepticons into retreat, Silverbolt bravely went after [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and destroyed the Key to Vector Sigma, despite his great fear of heights. As he fell, he was saved at the last moment by [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]], who was impressed by his courage. {{Storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}

As a leader, Silverbolt was something of a killjoy to his fellow Aerialbots, encouraging moderation and self-control over daredevil flying and adventuring. One day, though, he congratulated Air Raid on strategically getting himself set on fire by [[Trypticon]], and then personally flew down the monster's throat, throwing out laser bolts and imaginative taunts all the way down his gullet. Someone slipped a little too much caffeine into Silverbolt's oil that day. {{Storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}}

===Marvel Comics===

The Aerialbots were created when [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] filmed [[Devastator]]'s combining sequence. Using the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, Optimus Prime gave the Aerialbots life. The leader, Silverbolt's alternate mode is that of a human transport airplane. After given life and during testing, Prime ordered them to stop the Decepticon assault on the Hoover Dam.

The fight went well, but [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] used his super-sonic ability to bring out a Transformer's deepest fear, it warped Silverbolt's fear of heights (ironic for an Aerialbot) and forced him to land. The Aerialbots prevailed the fight, however, and as the Decepticons fled, Silverbolt combined them all to form [[Superion]], trying to stop the drill from absorbing all of the Hoover Dam's electricity.

Superion's reflex was to strike out and kill the human who held [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] in his gun form, but Silverbolt mentally stepped in and prevented him from doing so. He forced the Aerialbots to disassemble. The human fired Megatron's gun at the drill, winning the day for the Autobots. {{Storylink|Aerialbots over America!}}

Nonetheless, Silverbolt's mind was wiped along with his fellow Aerialbots shortly afterwards, due to Optimus Prime's dissatisfaction with the mission.

Later, when [[Skids]] was transporting the human [[Donny Finkleberg]] home, Silverbolt and the Aerialbots were sent to do battle with the [[Stunticon]]s. Both combiners fused, creating [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and Superion. [[Josie Beller]], known as Circut Breaker, fired upon Superion, however, crippling him heavily and leaving Menasor the victor. {{Storylink|Heavy Traffic!}}

Silverbolt would appear in other later battles with his teammates, usually getting blown out of the sky, if not to pieces.

During the Unicron War, Grimlock revived Silverbolt along with other fallen Autobots to help in the battle against the Dark God, and when the Decepticons tried to strand the Autobots on a ruined Cybertron, Silverbolt was one of the pilots for Grimlock's reserve ships. {{Storylink|The Last Autobot?}}

Silverbolt and the Aerialbots also resurfaced in Generation 2, but as usual, save for [[Skydive]], they didn't really do anything noteworthy except fall for one of Hot Rod's tricks in a war game. His expression was priceless, however. {{Storylink|The Power and the Glory}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Silverbolt''' (Aerialbot, 1986/1991)
: ''Team ID number:'' '''A1'''
:''Japanese ID number'': '''C-50'''

[[Image:G1_Silverbolt_toy.jpg|right|thumb|155px|"Oh [[Primus|God]], I'm in the middle of a white cloud!" *faints*]]

:Silverbolt transforms into a Concord SST jet liner and can serve a launcher/base for the other Aerialbots. A particular weakness of Silverbolt's design is the way both his legs are connected to his hips by a long pin going through several very small (and weak) plastic hinges that are put under stress as the immediate joint underneath this assembly is a swivel used during transformation. His Japanese release has a spring powered launcher mechanism that was removed from his Hasbro releases, leaving only a piece that flopped around uselessly on his chest. He was available both alone and in a gift set with his teammates.

: In Japan, the entire Aerialbot team was offered (as individual purchases) as mail-order items during ''[[Battlestars]]''. Silverbolt cost 2000 yen and three [[robot points]].

===Generation 2===
*'''Silverbolt''' (1994)
:''Team ID number:'' '''A5'''

:For the [[Generation 2]] toy line, Silverbolt's toy was [[redeco]]ed in blue and red, and his wings were [[retool]]ed to hold a new pair of spring-loaded missile launchers (reused from the Generation 2 versions of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] and [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]]).

===Beast Wars===
*'''Magnaboss''' (Ultra, 1997)

: Silverbolt transforms from an eagle into a robot, with portions of his wings turning into a pair of swords. He is able to combine with [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], his package buddies, into Magnaboss.

: This mold was used to make [[Skywarp (BW)|Skywarp]].

:''('''Note''': The toy packaging gives absolutely no indication as to who the Magnaboss components are as characters. Their being Generation 1 characters is a [[retcon]] from the [[IDW]] comic series.)''

==Trivia==
* G1/G2 Silverbolt, due to the size of his altmode, should be one of the biggest Transformers around. This means he's one of the most [[scale|out of scale]] Generation 1 characters, both as a toy and in all of his depictions in fiction.

Transformers Animated (franchise)

2007-10-27T19:52:09Z

82.34.51.74: /* Decepticons */

[[Image:Transformersanimated franchise logo.png|right|250px]]
[[Image:TransformersAnimatedPoster.jpg|right|thumb|250px|"When there's trouble you know who to call..."]]

'''Transformers Animated''' is the next television-supported Transformers franchise, due to start in the January of 2008 with a 3-episode mini-movie and continue on to a full 13 episode season.

The cartoon is produced by [[Cartoon Network]], scripted in the United States, with character and background designs by the crews behind shows like ''Teen Titans'' and ''Ben10'', while animation is being provided by Japanese studios [[Mook]], [[The Answer Studio]]{{fact}} (the Japanese studio who animated Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go), and [[Studio 4C]] {{fact}}.

Animated is notable for the fact it sees several G1 voice actors reprise their old roles (Susan Blu, Corey Burton, John Moschitta, etc.) and for the fact this is the first show featuring David Kaye where he won't be voicing Megatron (They made it up to him by having him voice almost everyone else).

==Series details==
[[Image:Ani_crew.JPG|left|thumb|200px|"Mr. Bulkhead, engage!"]]
The series will eschew the ever-continuing space opera storylines of the past few anime to return to the episodic approach of Beast Wars; each episode will be a stand alone story but with an overall story arc that stretches through the whole season. The focus is being put firmly on characterization, dynamic action, and humor.

The episodes will center not only on the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons, but also on the Autobots' interactions with many of Detroit's human supervillain denizens, including a [[Angry Archer|maladjusted marksman]], a guy who can spit acid, and a guy who [[Prometheus|looks good in a pimp suit]]. The idea is to present the Decepticons as credible threats rather than have them all be defeated in every episode. The human villains will give the Autobots "everyday" threats--and no doubt their schemes will turn out to be the result of Decepticon treachery. Note that [[Doctor Arkeville|human]] [[Lord Chumley|adversaries]] [[Circuit Breaker|are]] [[Cobra Commander|not]] [[Abdul Fakkadi|new]] [[Lazarus|in]] Transformers continuity.

Season 2 is already in the works and seasons 3 and 4 are quite possible.

==Toyline==
First previewed July 1, 2007, in Hasbro's Future Products panel at [[Botcon]].

The Transformers: Animated toy line merges the more fluid, expressive design style of the cartoon with extremely poseable robot forms (to a degree even Hasbro seemed pleasantly surprised by). Unlike the franchises immediately before it, there is no overarcing, line-wide gimmick such as [[Mini-Con|Mini-Cons]] or [[Cyber Planet Key|Cyber Planet Keys]]; rather, transforming IS the gimmick, and toys will have other special features that are unique and appropriate to the character they depict. While the designs originated with Hasbro and the Cartoon Network team, [[TakaraTomy]] is once again stepping up to the plate to engineer the toys.

The toy line is currently scheduled to debut in March 2008 with a special "battle pack" featuring multiple figures. The full line will presumably bow sometime a few months later.

Megatron (Movie)

2007-10-27T19:45:20Z

82.34.51.74: /* ''Transformers'' (2007 movie) */

{{disambig3|Megatron}}

:''Megatron is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]]. He is often refered to as Lord Megatron. Known to humans as both "The Ice Man" and "The Mega-Man" and more formally as [[N.B.E.]] - 01''

[[Image:Megatronmovie.jpg |thumb|right|300px|Super Fighting Robot...MEGA-MAN!]]

The brother of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] as well as former [[Lord High Protector]] and co-ruler of [[Cybertron]], '''Megatron''' is vicious and extremely powerful, single-minded in his goals, straight forward and brutally direct in his attempts to seize those goals. He is all "blunt force" in contrast to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] penchant for deceit and trickery. On the downside, Megatron tends to become so obsessed with the object of his desires that he can ignore "secondary" matters and glaring flaws in his plans (otherwise, he likely wouldn't have melted into ice-cold arctic water after being white hot from re-entry and spent millions of years as a popsicle).

While [[Megatron (disambiguation)|some]] merely dislike or disregard organics (since they have a tendency to get in their way), Megatron feels a violent hatred towards them and seems to view them as only slightly above a virus, with him as the cure. This may be due to having spent decades as their prisoner, but his hatred is still very extreme. If there was no [[All Spark]], it is not that big a stretch to think he'd have come here anyway, just to cleanse one more planet of its infection.

===''Prime Directives'' prequel comic===
[[Image:MovieMegatron_Bumblebee_torture_comic.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Better get some ice on that.]]

Megatron once ruled Cybertron side-by-side with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. For generations, the two ruled in peace. Megatron was firm, but Prime was fair, creating a nice, even balance. Sadly, he got a jonesing for the All Spark and the war started. Megatron formed an army of separatists, the Decepticons, while Prime formed his own army, the Autobots. Megatron's forces, while less noble, were more ferocious warriors. Prime eventually made the decision to launch the All Spark into deep space. When [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] stalled him long enough for it to be launched into space, he tore off Bumblebee's arm and crushed his voice box, then took off into space after the All Spark. {{Storylink|Prime Directives, Part 1}}

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

[[Image:Movie_Megatron_Targetcomic_sure.jpg|thumb|right|120px|Sit boy, or I'll beat you to death]]

During an assault on the Autobots personally led by Megatron and his hound, [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]], Megatron crushed an opponent's spark before casually tossing his corpse over his shoulder. Megatron declared that the All Spark would be his, to which Blackout assured his leader that he will make sure of it. Megatron was pleased by his minion's loyalty, but dispacted him to assist Starscream's unit in preventing Optimus Prime's reinforcements from entering Tyger Pax. He then left to meet his destiny, but it slipped from his grasp. {{Storylink|Transformers Movie Prequel (Target) Volume 2}}

'''Note:''' ''Megatron's response to Blackout's pledge is mistakenly given to the latter Decepticon.''

===UK ''Transformers Comic''===

The All Spark had not been blindly launched into space, however - its trajectory was leading it directly towards the [[Alkaris Anomaly]], a wormhole that could potentially transport the cube to any one of an infinite number of locations in the universe. Megatron was fully capable of catching up to the cube before it would enter the wormhole, but as he passed Cybertron's moon, he found himself ensnared by an Autobot tractor beam of remarkable strength that pulled him down to the moon's surface. Enraged by the ignominity of it all, Megatron turned his weapons on the Autobots responsible, but quickly calmed down enough to realize that this was only playing into their hands, and instead ordered [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] to take his place in the battle. Megatron swooped back into space, hot on the All Spark's heels, but was unable to stop the cube from falling through the anomaly. Determined to have the All Spark's power, Megatron chose to enter the wormhole himself, only to be spat out in some far-off star system, with no trace of the All Spark. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|Prelude: Megatron}}

===''Transformers'' (2007 movie)===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Hugo Weaving]] (English) [[Koutarou Nakamura]] (Japan)
{{spoiler}}

[[Image:Megstheiceman.JPG‎|thumb|left|200px|Ice, Ice Baby!]]

Megatron eventually succeeded in tracking the All Spark to [[Earth]], where he successfully crash-landed in the Arctic Circle and was frozen solid for thousands of years. In 1897, some 100 Earth-years before the arrival of the other Transformers, he was discovered by an explorer named [[Archibald Amundsen Witwicky]]. Captain Witwicky accidentally activated Megatron's navigation system and caused the coordinates of the All Spark to be etched onto the explorer's glasses. Megatron remained imprisoned in the Arctic, until the 1930s, when he was dug out by the United States government and moved to a secret [[Sector Seven]] stronghold inside [[Hoover Dam]].

In the present day, having searched the galaxy for the All Spark and being drawn to Earth, the remaining Decepticons learn of Witwicky's glasses. Through the Internet, they determined the location of both Megatron and the All Spark inside Hoover Dam. [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] infiltrated the dam and shut down the power systems, while Starscream attacked the external powerlines, resulting in Megatron's thawing out. Once again online, the leader of the Decepticons informed the worthless insects that of his true name, shouting "I am Megatron!" (to clear up all that N.B.E.-01/Ice Man nonsense), randomly killed a few of them while destroying his former prison, then transformed and flew off after the All Spark again. He met up with Starscream on the outside, and, never one for pleasantries, demanded to know where the Cube was. Upon learning that the humans had moved the All Spark, Megatron berated Starscream for yet another failure.

[[Image:Movie_Megatron_breakout.jpg‎|thumb|right|200px|Mace isn't for spraying, it's for hitting.]]

After Starscream and Devastator's opening attacks in [[Mission City]], Megatron arrived, and again declared his name (He really wants people to know who he is). The Autobots were so paniced by the sight of their long lost nemesis that [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] called for a temporary retreat. Megatron blasted [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] away when the diminutive Autobot attempted to attack, then threw him into the air before crushing him on top of a tower with his clawed talons. Jazz vainly fought on, asking if Megatron wanted a "piece", but doing little damage to Megatron. The Decepticon leader killed the Autobot by tearing him in half, callously declaring that he wanted "two".

As [[Samuel James Witwicky|the human boy]] ran off with the All Spark, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to attack. Devastator attacked the armed insects, while Starscream and [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] fought [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and Ratchet for the All Spark. At that moment, Optimus Prime appeared and challenged Megatron. Millennia in the ice had done nothing to lessen the animosity Megatron felt for his brother, however. Barely managing to growl out Prime's name, he transformed and flew at Prime at full speed. The Autobot leader leapt and grabbed a hold of Megatron, who slammed him into a building before flying right through a skyscraper. Both leaders landed in the middle of an intersection, but Megatron was the first to recover and leaped upon his brother, snarling that the humans were undeserving of life. Optimus Prime replied that they had the right to choose for themselves before he threw his brother off. Megatron declared that if Prime wished to defend them, he should die with them, forming his [[fusion cannon]]. Before he could fire, the Autobot leader drew his [[ion blaster]] and fired, hitting Megatron. The Decepticon leader shrugged off this attack, spun around from the momentum and fired his cannon, throwing Optimus Prime into the side of a building.

[[Image:Movie_Megatron_jetmode_cityfight.jpg‎|thumb|left|250px|''Really'' bad case of gas.]]

Megatron persued the young human who had removed the All Spark from Hoover Dam, destroying everything that stood in his way. The boy ran to a dilapidated building that was the designated coordinates for a human military evacuation team, and Megatron smashed his way through, yelling that he could smell the human maggot. Following him to the roof, Megatron offered that if the human gave him the All Spark, the boy may live as his pet. The Decepticon leader relished the human's defiant refusal and destroyed the ledge the human was standing upon, sending the boy tumbling to the ground.

[[Image:Movie_Megatron_maceattack.jpg‎|thumb|right|200px|This would have been ''so'' much cooler if it had been a chain mine.]]

Unfortunately, the human was caught by Optimus Prime, who then tried to escape down the side of the building before Megatron tackled him and sent all three slamming into the pavement. As a nearby human bystander attempted to run, the Decepticon expressed his disgust at the insect's proximity and flicked it away. Protecting the young boy, Prime declared that their war would end here and it was now just between the two brothers. Though lusting for the All Spark, Megatron decided to indulge his brother's obvious death wish, declaring that only he was in this fight. Despite Optimus Prime's best efforts, Megatron was the stronger warrior, pounding the Autobot leader with devastating blow after devastating blow until he collapsed. Adding insult to injury, Megatron informed Prime that his defense of the "weak" was the real reason he lost.

[[Image:Megatron allspark merge.JPG|left|thumb|200px|Oh, he's dead. There's no way this will make him [[Galvatron (disambiguation)|anymore powerful]].]]

The Decepticon leader turned his attention back to the human boy, but was suddenly attacked by the human fighter jets and [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]]'s ground soldiers firing sabot rounds. His armor a damaged, shattered mess, Megatron ignored the punishment and focused on the human boy. As Optimus Prime ordered the boy to place the All Spark into his chest, the human instead pushed it into the now-exposed [[spark]] in Megatron's chest overloading him with energy and extinguishing the Decepticon's life force. Optimus Prime stood over Megatron's lifeless shell, watching the light flicker out of his brother's [[optics]], he remarked somberly, yet remorsefully, that Megatron had left him no choice, and removed a shard of the All Spark from his brother's spark cavity.

Megatron's body was dumped into the ocean at its deepest point, along with the remains of the other Decepticons. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

:''Voice actor:'' [[Frank Welker]]

===Autobot campaign===
After arriving at Hoover Dam, Bumblebee saw Megatron and the AllSpark being held in the same room, which was guarded by lasers. After bringing down the lasers, Bumblebee managed to shrink the AllSpark, while under fire by Megatron. Following the Autobots to Mission City, Megatron ignomiously "flicked" Bumblebee away, then tried to grab the AllSpark from Sam. Optimus Prime arrived and the two fought in the Mission City park. After Prime believed that he had detroyed Megatron, Sam handed the AllSpark to Prime, but Megatron jumped into the air with his flail. Prime grabbed the flail and pulled Megatron to him, shoving the AllSpark into his chest. Pretty ruthless there, Prime.

===Decepticon campaign===
After learning Megatron's location, Blackout and Starscream sabotaged the dam's power, allowing Megatron to thaw out and awaken. After Megatron emerged, Starscream and Blackout bowed before their Lord, who declared that they had much to do. After the Decepticons dispatched the Autobots, Megatron, hoping to draw Prime out, went on a rampage in Mission City, declaring that the city would burn beneath his feet (this means toastie toes, but he's willing to make that sacrifice). Megatron and Prime played a game of cat and mouse, with Megatron tracking Prime and Sam, until Megatron finally destroyed Prime, then merged the AllSpark with his spark (...wait, what?). After decimating Earth, Megatron took the [[Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln Memorial]] as his throne, then ordered Starscream, Brawl, and Barricade to finish the planet, before going on to conquer the galaxy.

===Transformers (2007)===
*'''Megatron''' (Leader, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-07'''

[[Image:Movie_Leader_Megatron_toy.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Just what the hell do I turn into?]]

: Leader class ''Movie'' Megatron transforms into a silver Cybertronic assault jet. He is quite accurate to the CGI design... except for the giant mass of legs attempting (but failing) to hide under the wings.

: In robot mode, Megatron's sculpt is quite accurate, or as accurate as a toy based on his CG design can be. However, his paint decoration is quite inaccurate, with blue highlights on various parts of his body, possibly to allude to his pre-frozen state and to give a relatively monochromatic figure more color. More confusing is his jet black face, which obscures the sculpt's details and is inaccurate to the movie appearance's gunmetal.

: Megatron's right fist disconnects at the wrist to become the spiked end of the extendable "chain whip" weapon concealed within his forearm (perhaps in homage to [[Megatron (G1)|G1 Megatron]]'s own flail weapon); pressing the black switch on the arm pulls the chain taut for a whipping attack. His arms also link together at the wrists to form a "fusion cannon," with the pod on his left forearm concealing the weapon's [[Automorph]]ing twin barrels, exposed by pulling a switch. His other automorph features include his wings folding up as his vehicle nosecone is moved into place, and his feet unfolding as his knees are straightened. Finally, pressing the button on his waist activates a small friction motor, which moves various torso plates and blades on his back into place, accompanied by a metallic shrieking sound and flashing yellow lights.

:Megatron's instructions summarily fail to actually tell the reader about how his gimmicks work. The whipping-action black switch for his flail is not mentioned; they do not detail how to connect the arms for fusion cannon mode; and the fact that the cannon is on a slider, allowing it to be centre-aligned, rather than sitting off to one side, is also omitted.

: There is a significant assembly error in Megatron's right arm: The right fist is ''supposed'' to launch out of the right arm. However, the spring for the launching mechanism was left out (possibly [[for safety reasons]]). One must either find a compatible spring or steal the spring in his left arm fusion cannon, then place it in his right forearm. The right fist should now launch properly. The latter of these is preferable, as the spring in the left arm should not be there in the first place, and does not allow the barrels of the cannon to stay in place without holding the trigger button.

: There is also an error in Megatron's legs, in that his left and right hip joints have been swapped for reasons unknown. Switching them allows for a slightly smoother transformation.

:In addition to ''that'', both of Megatron's hands have a finger misassembly. Two pieces are moulded to have two fingers, while one is obviously supposed to be a thumb–however, this thumb is on the 'outside' of his hands instead of the inside. The prototype on the packaging's stock photos show the correct assembly.

: ''Geez'', Hasbro.

*'''Megatron''' (Legends, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_Legends_Megatron_toy.jpg|thumb|left|Again, what the hell do I turn into?]]

:Legends class Megatron is the smallest mainline ''Movie'' Megatron toy, and boy does it show. Even with Megatron's relatively simple transformation sequence, the sheer simplicity of the Legends class toy means that in vehicle mode he is basically his robot mode splayed out, and again, boy is it ''obvious''. His robot mode is passably accurate, if by accurate one means he is now a hunchback with wings for legs, Dustbusters for hands, and an unchanged Alien Queen-esqe head design.

{{-}}

*'''Megatron''' (Voyager, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-14'''

:Voyager class Megatron transforms into an ice-covered version of his cybertronic jet, with transparent blue plastic forming large portions of his vehicle mode, such as parts of his wings. This ice design is carried onto his robot mode, with his legs, shoulders and chest having some kind of 'ice' plastic covering them. With a significantly different transformation sequence compared to his earlier Leader class toy, his chest frost lowers and his shoulders raise to robot mode position when you bring his lower body forward thanks to [[Automorph]] technology. He also has his fusion cannon in its entirety on his left arm. His wings feature flip-out "ice blade", and pulling on a piece in the back of his jet mode brings them forward like pincer claws.

:Something interesting to note is that his feet are entirely spring-loaded, which means his foot and the two "rear toes" on each feet automatically close up when he's not standing up. Surprisingly, this helps a lot with the posing as the feet's parts automatically position themselves for the perfect balance.

*'''Allspark Legends''' (Multi-pack, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_Allspark_Legends_pack.jpg|thumb|right|120px|"Quick, Bumblebee! I hold up Megatron, you just fight with the others!" - "...I hate you."]]

: A Toys R Us exclusive, this six-pack of Legends class figures contains unmodified toys of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], Megatron, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

{{-}}

*'''Fusion Blast Megatron''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)

[[Image:Movie FAB Megatron.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Just back from filming Predator 3]]

: Fusion Blast Megatron is a simple version of Megatron with dorky-looking proportions in robot mode, and turns into an even dorkier-looking vehicle mode. The transformation sequence manages to be even more simple and non-involved than the other ''Movie'' Megatron toys by means of an automorph feature very similar to the early Beast Wars flipchangers. Moving his back section down causes the torso to flip up, hiding the head and positioning the arms skywards. Though the figure requires a little more repositioning and folding, most of the transformation is done with one single step.

{{-}}

*'''Megatron''' (Robot Replica, 2007)

:A non-transforming, detailed version of Megatron. It comes with his fusion cannon, though the elbows only articulate from side-to-side, giving him EXTREMELY gimped arm articulation.

{{-}}

====Transformers Premium Series====
A subline under the main ''Transformers'' movie toyline, the ''Premium Series'' is a range of store exclusive Movie line figures repainted in enhanced decos and metallic paint and/or plastic, presented in robot mode.

*'''Megatron''' (Voyager, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_Voyager_Premium_Megatron.jpg|thumb|right|200px|I will ask this one more time...what do I turn into?!]]

:One of the first figures available in the ''Premium Series'', Voyager class Megatron was released exclusively at Best Buy on October 16th, 2007 alongside the North American launch of the ''Transformers'' movie DVD. Megatron has been completely redecoed, covering most of his previously grey parts with metallic silver paint and a black paint wash over the top of that. Black and gold highlights are used to offset all of the silver, while the transparent 'ice' parts are clear. These changes essentially make Megatron far more accurate to his movie appearance.

:As part of the ''Premium Series'', Megatron is presented in robot mode inside a special display box similar in shape to the packaging for the Hasbro release of ''Generation 1'' ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)|Starscreams]].

{{-}}

===Titanium series===
*'''Megatron''' (3" Robot Masters, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_TitaniumRM_Megatron.jpg|left|thumb|130px|I am Megatron! And I am your destr—rrr...gah, I can't move my legs! Decepticons, retreat!]]

:''Titanum'' Megatron is a die-cast metal and plastic figurine, with an accurate sculpt based on the CG model owing to the fact he doesn't need to transform. Being a figurine, he only has articulation in his shoulders, neck and waist. Megatron comes with a Movie-style Decepticon sigil display stand.

{{-}}

===Attacktix===
*'''Battle Masters Megatron and Scorponok''' (Battle Master set, 2007)

[[Image:Attacktix-MovMegsScorp.jpg|right|thumb|150px|HADOOOUKEN!]]

{{-}}

==Merchandise==
===Robot Heroes===
*'''Autobot Ratchet vs Megatron''' (2007)

*'''Megatron''' Burger King free toy (2007)

:A non-transformable version of Megatron, cast primarily in gray plastic. The toy's entire "gimmick" is that both rotate at the shoulder. Due to the strict [[For safety reasons|protocols]] of making a fast food premium, Megatron's sharp and deadly design was forced to be smoothed out. This had the unfortunate effect of making his sculpted details meld together and looking less like a killer robot and more like a melted clay man. The toy ''appears'' to use the earlier render head render of Megatron's, but due to the vague detail and paint job, may also not be.

:The toy also comes with a purple plastic Decepticon base and and a lenticular motion card with a surprising amount of frames of animation. These two pieces may in fact be the better part of the package.

===Battling Robots Bubble Bath===
*'''Megatron''' (2007)

[[Image:megatron_bubblebath.jpg|thumb|left|120px|"I ''hate'' merchandising."]]

:Megatron's torso attaches to the bottle of bubble bath. His elbows bend, and his arms have a punching gimmick, to allow him to battle the forces of good. Pushing a lever on either side makes the respective fist punch forward. He's removable, though not as easily held without the bottle below his waist. Like many pieces of Megatron merchandise, this "figure" uses the older head design with blue eyes. The blue eyes are also the only spot of paint on him, unlike the elaborately decoed Prime.
{{-}}
==Trivia==

* The prototype photographs on the back of Leader and Voyager class Megatrons' packaging show him with a completely different head based upon an earlier version of CGI design that was dropped after much negative fan reaction.

* According to The Movie Guide, Megatron is one of few Transformers capable of space travel without reverting to a Protoform. This explains how he was capable of chasing the All Spark ''immediately'' after its launch.

* Early script drafts featured Megatron consuming the [[spark]]s of his fallen foes, but this didn't make it into the final film due to time constraints. The novelisation of the movie, on the other hand, sees him chow down on Jazz in the final battle; similarly, although not outright stated in dialogue, his animalistic pouncing on the fallen bodies of various characters (including Optimus Prime, Starscream, Jazz and the [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|Decepticon Create-A-Bot]]) in the Movie Nintendo DS games, following by what appears to be rooting around in their innards, seems to suggest he's doing the same there.

* Similarly, in the ''Autobots'' version of the same DS game, it is noted that Megatron "took the spark" of his and Optimus' father. Presumably, this is a reference to both his cannibalistic practises as well as the fact that both he and Prime are in fact brothers... at least in the Cybertronian sense.

* Despite his undeniable hatred of humans, Megatron is the only Decepticon in the movie who doesn't speak [[Cybertronian languages|Cybertronian]] at any point in the film. In fact, he speaks ''fluent'' English upon reviving, depite the fact that [[Wikipedia:Modern English|Modern English]] came into existance around the Sixteenth century, when he was presumably still frozen in the ice. This could suggest that he still was somehow conscious when he was studied by Sector Seven (which he also overtly states upon awakening in the IDW comic adaptation). This would explain why his first action after thawing was declaring his name - imagine being frozen for generations being referred to as "N.B.E. 1", or even worse: "Mega-man" ''and'' "Ice-man".

* The Megatron computer generated model consisted of 2411 individual pieces, 433,949 polygons, 8924 rig nodes, and 1437 texture maps. The pieces combined gave a volume of 10,325 cubic feet.<ref>Robertson, Barbara (2007). Heavy Metal. ''Computer Graphics, 30''(7), 12-17.</ref>

* [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] from ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' has apparently stolen this Megatron's head... at least for the time being.

Bobby Bolivia

2007-10-27T19:28:59Z

82.34.51.74: /* ''Transformers'' (2007 film) */

: ''Bobby Bolivia is a [[human]] in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Movie_Bobby_Bolivia.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Like the country, but without the runs.]]

'''Robert "Bobby" Bolivia''' owns and operates [[Bolivia's Finest Quality Used Cars and Petting Zoo]]. A car salesman of the tackily dressed, Hawaiian-shirts-'n'-sporty-hat-preferring, always smiling, overly friendly, back-slapping, smooth-talking, horsehockey-spewing variety, he claims that a driver doesn't choose the car, it's the car that chooses its driver.

Though sometimes a [[Bumblebee (Movie)|car]] picks a [[Samuel James Witwicky|driver]] with a cheapass [[Ronald Witwicky|father]]. There are also times where a car picks a driver and takes rejection very poorly.

His favorite cars are the kinds that come from Alabama. He's also not afraid to sell cars that mysteriously appear on his lot, despite not possessing the proper legal paperwork and records of the vehicle being sold.

==Fiction==
===''Transformers'' (2007 film)===
:''Actor:'' [[Bernie Mac]] (English) [[Chafurin]] (Japanese-language dub voice)

[[Image:Movie_Bobby_Bolivia_yourefamily.jpg|thumb|left|200px|You're like family at Bobby B's... but we've seen how Bobby and family act towards each other... hm.]]

When Sam's father promises to buy him his first car, he takes him to Bobby Bolivia (much to Sam's chagrin). After telling his mechanic [[Manny (Movie)|Manny]] to remove the [[Manny's cousin|heat-stroke-afflicted clown]] from the sidewalk because he's "scarin' the white folk," Bobby feeds the father/son pair his "mystical bond" line and takes them on a tour of the lot.

Bobby agrees to sell Sam a mysterious "custom faded paint" Camaro he's never seen on his lot before for $4000, a thousand less than his made-up-on-the-spot asking price... but only after the windows of every other car on the lot are mysteriously shattered by a high-pitched noise.

Bobby's mammy lives in sight of his car dealership, and apparently he has wronged her in some way. Their relationship is summarized by her flipping him off and him wishing he had a rock to "bust her head with." Hopefully, prequel material will address this.

{{-}}

===Transformers the Movie Storybook===

[[Image:Storybook Bobby Bolivia yourefamily.jpg|thumb|right|200px|"I ''do'' feel like we're family. After all, [[Buster Witwicky|Buster]] has a shirt just like that!"]]

Bobby wears pink. He still hugs customers. His mother's never going to be a grandmammy, is she?

===Transformers the Game (console)===
After Bumblebee beats the [[Decepticon]]s to Bolivia's car lot, Sam and his father arrive to buy a new car. Bobby tries to sell them an old blue beater, but the tires mysteriously pop and deflate. Sam chooses the alien robot in disguise, and Dad begins negotiations.

Later, while leading [[Sector Seven]] from the Autobots, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] destroys the fuel pumps at Bobby Bolivia's car lot, causing an explosion which obliterates most of the lot. Here's hoping Bobby wasn't in there at the time.

:''('''Note''': Bobby is never actually seen in the game, only heard.)''

==Trivia==
* According to an article on [http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=121138?imw=Y#12 Edmunds.com], all three 1976 Camaros used in the film were purchased for under $6000 individually, with one of them costing even less than $2000. That one didn't run.

* Buying your first car at Bobby's car lot makes you family. Frightening.

Crumplezone (Cybertron)

2007-10-13T16:24:24Z

82.34.51.74: /* ''Cybertron'' cartoon */

{{disambig2|the Cybertron-series Decepticon|the Armada-series Mini-Con|Crumplezone (Armada)}}

:''Crumplezone is a [[Decepticon]] from the planet [[Velocitron]] in the [[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]].''

The largest inhabitant of Velocitron (yet speed-wise he can still smoke most off-worlders), '''Crumplezone''' is undeniably the brawn of the gruesome twosome formed with the weasely [[Ransack (Cybertron)|Ransack]]. It's not that Ransack is really all ''that'' much smarter than Crumplezone, it's just that the big lug just tends to leave the thinking to others, going along with whatever scheme his best (and possibly only) friend Ransack has cooked up. Being bad is just ''easier'', and a lot more fun. Plus, [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] is less likely to blast him then.

He really, ''really'' hates [[Scrapmetal drone|Scrapmetals]].

: ''Japanese name:'' '''Land Bullet''', '''Arm Bullet''' (Dark body)

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
====''Cybertron'' cartoon====
:''Voice actor'': [[Mark Acheson]] (US), [[Toshihiko Nakajima]] (Japan)

[[Image:CrumpleRide01.jpg|thumb|left|200px|"Who thought this was a good idea?"]]

Ransack and Crumplezone were the first Velocitronians approached by Megatron, and were quickly cowed into servitude. Under Megatron's command, they sought out clues to the planet's [[Cyber Planet Key]], first terrorizing [[Brakedown (Cybertron)|Brakedown]] and [[Clocker (Cybertron)|Clocker]], then convincing [[Dirt Boss (Cybertron)|Dirt Boss]] to help them win the [[Planet Cup]] race. All throughout, they snuck around, trying to manipulate and cheat their way though, eventually abandoning Dirt Boss during the desert portion of the race. They made it to the final leg of the race: a vast, twisting track deep inside the planet, but blew all their power ''very'' early in the race and were left eating dust by [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] and Override. They decided to attempt to just flat-out steal the Planet Cup, and naturally failed.

After their failure to capture the Speed Planet's Cyber Planet Key, Ransack and Crumplezone joined Megatron's forces off-planet attempting to collect the other Cyber Planet Keys. When [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] gave Megatron a false map that was in fact a trap, Crumplezone was the only one not trapped in it, and he quickly panicked. However, we went to find their newest ally [[Scourge (Cybertron)|Scourge]], and soon(ish) Megatron was free... and ''pissed''.

Crumplezone joined his boss on the return to [[Earth]], fighting against both the Autobots and the Decepticons under Starscream's command. The battlefield quickly shifted to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], where Crumpleone ran afoul of a swarm of [[Scrapmetal drone|Scrapmetals]], succumbing to their numbers and exploding. {{storylink|Balance}} Near death, he was revived by the ghostly form of Megatron shortly after (in a more powerful body to boot!), and the grateful duo continued to follow Megatron, all the way to [[Gigantion]] the Giant Planet. There... they suffered humiliating defeat after humiliating defeat, pretty much. For a brief moment they had a shot at actually achieving something for Megatron by kidnapping the [[Mini-Con]] [[Jolt (Cybertron)|Jolt]], but were outsmarted by [[Bud]] and his new [[Cobybot]], then subsequently blasted through a few layers of Gigantion by [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] using [[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex's]] colossal axe "Sparkdrinker", which was really overkill.

When Megatron-then-Galavtron finally obtained the [[Omega Lock]] and all four Cyber Planet Keys, they followed him back to Cybertron and the edge of the [[Unicron Singularity]]. There, when threatened by hundreds of Transformers from across the colony worlds, Galvatron used the powers of the Omega Lock to make his lackeys gigantic and incredibly powerful. Crumplezone ended up facing off mostly against his fellow [[Velocitron]]ians, including Dirt Boss. Despite his super-size, he ended up running away as he was attacked on all sides.

After Galvatron's plans to accelerate the growth of the Unicron Singularity failed, Crumplezone and the other Decepticons left Galvatron, realizing that he had had no intention of sparing their lives from the cataclysm should he have succeeded. They re-appeared on the displaced [[Jungle Planet]], as the citizens and [[Autobot]]s were trying to prevent one of the massive planetary engines that was returning the world to its rightful place from falling over. Surprising everyone, they ''helped'' right the engine, having decided to try being good guys and being on the winning side for a change.

Ransack, Crumplezone and [[Thunderblast (Decepticon)|Thunderblast]] journeyed together across each of the worlds, trying to find a place to fit in. Ultimately failing, on Earth they cobbled together a makeshift rocket and headed for the stars, shanghaiing Thundercracker before they left, eager to become the [[New Decepticon Army]].

The rocket crashed on [[Mars]], to comedic effect.

==Toys==
===Cybertron===
*'''Crumplezone''' (Voyager, 2005)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''GD-04'''

: Part of the "Speed Planet" theme, Crumplezone transforms into a three-wheeled Cybertronic race car with huge turbine thrusters. These thrusters each contain a spring-loaded missile launcher,and can be swung forward in both vehicle and robot mode by plugging a [[Cyber Planet Key]] into his key-jack. This also activates electronic sound effects.

: He came with a silver-bordered Velocitron-style Cyber Planet Key. The [[Hasbro]] version has the [[Cyber Key Codes|Key Code]] "'''vj40'''" [[tampograph]]ed on the back.

: This mold was also used to make the [[BotCon 2006]] [[exclusive]] [[Optimus Primal]].

*'''Dark Crumplezone''' (Voyager, 2005)

: An ''extensively'' [[retool]]ed version of Crumplezone's original toy (approximately 80% of its parts have been changed), Crumplezone still turns into a Cybertronic three-wheeler, but this time his design is much more angular, with a "stealth fighter" look to him. He retains all of the original version's gimmicks, but has a different sound chip. His silver-bordered Velocitron Key has the Key Code "'''v2r2'''" on the back.

: This toy was slated for a Japanese release, but it never happened. Not even an [[e-hobby]] [[USA Edition]] release.

:Crumplezone is the only Transformers series 1 ''[[Attacktix]]'' figure with a base speed over 10, making him a devastating opponent in Transformers-only games. His Special Power ''Sacrifice'' lets you replace any of your Trooper pieces with the formerly-defeated Crumplezone.

:It is also worth noting that Ransack's Special Power ''Recover'' is dependent on having Crumplezone in play. Crumplezone also works well with [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]], [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]] and any other figures who summon Trooper figures into play. Oddly enough Crumplezone's Captain class means that he can also support Skywarp's ''Infiltrate'' power, commanding him in battle. What a terrifying thought.

Mikaela Banes

2007-09-22T23:21:45Z

82.34.51.74: /* ''Transformers'' (2007 film) */

: ''Mikaela is a [[human]] in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MikaelaBanes.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Mikaela fails to find a sandwich under [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s hood.]]

'''Mikaela Banes''' is a high school student. A beauty with brains, a penchant for fixing cars, and looks strong enough to make [[Samuel James Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]] offer to "ride" her home in [[Bumblebee (Movie)|his new car]].

She does not seem to mind making out on top of an alien car while [[Autobot|other alien car]]s watch. Kinky.

She is not [[Carly]].

She's kinda like [[Raoul]] though.

==Fiction==
===''Transformers'' (2007 film)===

:''Actor:'' [[Megan Fox]] (English) [[Kanako Toujô]] (Japanese-language dub voice)

Mikaela learned how to fix cars from her father, a long-time car thief. When he couldn't find a babysitter, he'd bring young Mikaela along, and she learned his trade. She hides her automotive knowledge from her boyfriends, for fear that they will be insecure around a girl who knows more about cars than they do. She is also afraid of being thought "shallow," to which Sam awkwardly replies that he thinks that there is "more than meets the eye...with...you."

When [[Sector Seven]] forcibly detain Mikaela and Sam's family, [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons]] reveals that she has a police record and threatened her father's upcoming parole hearing. After the [[Autobot]]s rescue the pair, she confides to Sam that she has a record because she refused to turn her father over to the authorities. Sector Seven soon recapture both teenagers (along with Bumblebee) and are brought to [[Hoover Dam]]. Sam negotiates with Simmons and has her criminal record expunged as part of his reward for helping Sector Seven with the information he has about the Transformers.

During the [[Decepticon]] attack at [[Mission City]], Mikaela strapped the injured Bumblebee to an abandoned towtruck. Sam told her to get Bumblebee (and herself) away from the battle, but Mikaela, feeling guilty, decided go back. She drove the tow-truck backwards through the battle while Bumblebee shot at [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]], deactivating the Decepticon.

===Transformers: The Game===
:''Voice Actor: [[Megan Fox]]''

She totally understands the [[Megatron (Movie)|frozen nemesis]], [[All Spark|robot lifeforce]], and magic [[glasses]] parts, but she still has trouble understanding why the [[Bumblebee (Movie)|super scout]] turns into a beater. Women.

Ronald Witwicky

2007-09-22T23:12:08Z

82.34.51.74: /* ''Transformers'' (2007 film) */

: ''Ron Witwicky is a [[human]] in the [[Transformers (2007)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Ronald "Ron" Witwicky''' (1960-) is one of six children of [[Herbert Witwicky]] and an unnamed female. He has four brothers and one sister, His eldest brother is named [[Ben Witwicky| Ben]]. In 1979 the kids split the proceeds from their father's house. Ron named [[Samuel James Witwicky|his son]] an actual [[Spike|real]] [[Butch|name]].

Probably just compensating for his family's [[Archibald Amundsen Witwicky|history of mental illness]].

Ron Witwicky is the head of the neighborhood watch.

==Fiction==
===''Official Movie Prequel'' comics===

===''Transformers'' (2007 film)===
:''Actor:'' [[Kevin Dunn]] (English) [[Tetsuo Goto]] (Japan)

[[Image:Movie_RonWitwicky_Porschejoke.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Sure, Ron laughs now, but Sam will remember this and plot his revenge...]]

After learning that Sam got an A- on his family geneology report, Ron took him to buy a car. He first teased Sam about the possibility of getting a [[Jazz (G1)|Porsche]], and then took him to [[Bolivia's Finest Quality Used Cars and Petting Zoo]]. Sam found a okay-looking Camaro which owner [[Bobby Bolivia]] offered to sell for five thousand dollars, even though he wasn't sure where the car came from. Bobby refused to go down to Ron's offer of four thousand and instead offered to show them a battered [[Bumblebee (G1)|Volkswagen]], but [[Bumblebee (Movie)|the car]] took rejection badly, slamming its door into the Volkswagen as Bobby was sitting in it, then tuning its radio to a high frequency and shattering the windows of every other car on the lot (but presumably not Ron's car). The spooked Bolivia immediately agreed to Ron's offer of four thousand. Later that day when Sam left the house and the car emitted a large smoke cloud, [[Judy Witwicky|his wife]] called him cheap. "It's his first car, it's supposed to be like that," was Ron's defense.

Later, when the [[Autobot]]s come searching for his great-grandfather's glasses, [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] knocked over a powerline, causing a blackout and mild tremor. Ron quickly ran to cover under the table (never spilling his wine glass) while Judy asked him how did he manage to get under there so quickly. He assumed the damage done to his back yard by the Autobots was caused by the "earthquake". Going to Sam's room, they found him sweaty and grimey. Judy thought he was... stimulating himself, which greatly embarrassed both Witwicky men. When [[Mikaela Banes]] came out of hiding, Ron tapped knuckles with his son in approval of her. Shortly afterward, [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons]] and [[Sector Seven]] came in and took the Witwickys and Mikaela into custody. Although Sam and Mikaela were rescued by the Autobots, Ron and Judy remained in custody.

After the destruction of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and the [[Decepticon]]s, Ron and Judy were interviewed for a news program about recent events. They expressed disbelief that there had been an "alien incursion", saying that the [[United States of America|government]] wouldn't lie to its citizens.

==Trivia==
*According to writer [[Roberto Orci]], Ron was not given the nickname "[[Sparkplug Witwicky|Sparkplug]]", nor [[Samuel James Witwicky|his son]] the nickname "[[Spike Witwicky|Spike]]" (though his wife does refer to him as "Spark"), because unlike their G1 counterparts the movie characters are not oil rig workers or mechanics. [http://boards.transformersmovie.com/showpost.php?p=350123&postcount=4134]
*Also according to Orci, Ronald was named after his father-in-law. [http://www.iesb.net/index.php?option=com_ezine&task=read&page=1&category=2&article=2718]

Maggie Madsen

82.34.51.74: /* ''Transformers'' (2007 film) */

:''Maggie Madsen is a [[human]] in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MaggieMadsen_1.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Maggie has a ''really'' clear [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage toy]].]]
'''Maggie Madsen''' isn't very good at handling people. Her superiors think it's downright unfair that someone that young and that ''hot'' also be ''that good''. She hasn't yet figured out how to ''tactfully'' tell people who outrank her that they're completely wrong.

Maggie is a former analyst for the [[Wikipedia:National Security Agency|NSA]], she was fired for twice rewriting her supervisor's conclusions in reports. [[John Keller]] is aware of this, not because he knows everything, but because it's ''hilarious''— she was ''right'' both times. That kind of brilliance buys her a little slack in his book... but only a little.

Maggie now works for the [[Wikipedia:RAND|Rand Corporation]] with [[Glen Whitmann]]. She has a strong Australian accent.

:''('''Note''': Most of Maggie's 'too brash for her own good' sub-plot was cut from the movie... because it's not very interesting. Her backstory comes from ''[[Transformers: The Junior Novel]]''. In ''[[Transformers: The Movie Storybook]]'' the character is named "Maggie Marconi," probably an early development name.)''

{{-}}
==Fiction==
===''Transformers'' (2007 film)===
:''Actor'': [[Rachael Taylor]] (English) [[Marika Hayashi]] (Japan)

{{spoiler}}

Maggie and her fellow analysts were present at an emergency briefing held at the Pentagon when Secretary of Defence [[John Keller|Keller]] revealed that [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]] was attacked by a [[Blackout (Movie)|mysterious and unidentified force]], leaving no survivors. Pressing the point home to the young computer experts, Keller said that their [[Decepticon|enemy]] attempted to hack into the base's mainframe but failed, leaving them to the conclusion that they will try again. Catching's Maggie's attention was the only clue left at the base, a mysterious frequency encountered during the hack, one unlike any seen before.

While analysing the frequency for its origin, Maggie and her team discovered an [[Frenzy (Movie)|hostile agent]] hacking into the mainframe of [[Air Force One]], accessing almost the entire US military defense grid. With no way to stop the enemy, Maggie suggested disconnecting all their severs, which proved to be sucessful. Later, Maggie snuck into a confidential briefing between Keller and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. When one high-ranking officer commented that the attack might have come from North Korea or Russia, she interrupted, explaining that the capabilities of this enemy were far in advance of anything they've ever seen. She theorised the possibility of a living organism being the culprit, but Keller was unwilling to listen unless she provided evidence to back up her claims.

[[Image:Maggie-and-Glen.jpg|thumb|left|250px|This is giving me such a crik in the neck right now]]

Frustrated at being stonewalled by the government and the military, Maggie copied the contents of the frequency data onto an SD memory card and left the Pentagon. Arriving at her friend Glen's house, she explained to him the dire consequences she would face if she was discovered with this information, and that he was the only hacker with the skills to access the information embedded within. His curiosity piqued, Glen proceeded to hack into the data, discovering images and files about something called [[Megatron (Movie)|Project: Iceman]] and an organisation named [[Sector Seven]]. Within the signal itself, she and Glen discovered [[Cybertronian languages|strange symbols]]. Before they could view any more information, an FBI assault team crashed through the front door and arrested everybody in his house.

Held in a holding room at the Pentagon, Maggie observed Glen eat an entire plate of donuts while he pontificated his theory that the donuts were a test in character and guilt, for if one does not eat the donuts, one is guilty, and he for one has a totally clear conscience. When federal agents enter the room, Glen immediately cracks and accuses Maggie of all the wrong doing while casting himself in a sympathetic (if somewhat pathetic) light. Maggie told him to shut up as she explained she needed to speak to Keller and that they need to go about this crisis in a different direction before the United States goes to war with the wrong country.

Much later, as Glen is recovering from his donut binge with a bottle of ''Pepto Bismo'', Keller suddenly enters the holding room, telling Maggie to come with him as an advisor, and allows Maggie to bring Glen along as her advisor. Soon on a Army Blackhawk helicopter bound for [[Hoover Dam]], She and Glen find themselves with two teenagers, [[Sam Witwicky|Sam]] and [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]]. Attempting to break the ice, Sam initiates conversation, prompting her to ask him what did the government get them in for, and to Glen's astonishment, he replied that he had bought [[Bumblebee (Movie)|a car]] that turned out to be an alien robot.

Landing, the group joined up with Keller, Captain [[William Lennox]], Sergeant [[Robert Epps]] and their men, escorted by Sector Seven director [[Reggie Simmons]] and [[Tom Banachek]]. The two spooks explained that they were all here because they were exposed to the [[N.B.E.]]s, aka the alien robots. Bringing them to a large, top-secret chamber, the group saw [[N.B.E.-1]], called Megatron, leader of the [[Decepticons]] by Sam. When he explained that Megatron was after the [[All Spark]] cube to transform all of Earth's technology into an army, Simmons brought the group to a viewing room looking over an even larger chamber encasing the massive All Spark.

To demonstrate the All Spark's power, the group was herded into a containment room where experiments using the radiation of the All Spark were conducted. Asking for phones and electronic devices, Simmons took Glen's proffered ''Nokia'' cell phone, commenting that they were nasty stuff, yet the Japanese know the way of the samurai. Maggie incredulously replied that ''Nokia'' is from Finland, to which Keller responded that while that's true, if she hadn't noticed, Simmons was a rather strange man. Turning on the All Spark's power, Glen's cell phone was transformed into a small spider-like mechanical beast with a tiny machine gun and rocket launcher, which jumped at Maggie as she looked on in astonishment. Griping that the beast was breaking the case, Simmons sent an enormous electrical shock into the creature, killing it. Soon after, Hoover Dam was under attack by the Decepticons, intent on freeing Megatron.

Needing to get word out to the US Air Force while traditional communications were down, Keller, Simmons, Glen and Maggie rushed to an archive storage room where there was an old radio. However, they soon discovered the radio worked, but had no microphone. Maggie suggested to Glen that they hotwire a computer into the radio to send out a tone that they could use as morse code to contact the military. As Glen did so, [[Frenzy (Movie)|a Decepticon]] attacked, forcing Maggie to help barricade the door and load shells into antique shotguns for Keller. Simmons passed her a shotgun as he blasted the Decepticon with a flame thrower. Thes small sneaked in via the air ducts and attacked the group with machine guns as Maggie, Keller and Simmons fought back. Eventually, Glen managed to sucessfully contact the Air Force as an errant CD razor projectile fired by the Decepticon destroyed its own head, (presumably) killing it. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

[[Image:Judywitwicky.jpg|right|thumb|150px|And this expression is why they never mention Mrs. Witwicky in any other continuity.]]

'''Judith "Judy" Witwicky''' (née '''Taylor''', 1960- ) is [[Samuel James Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]]'s mom and [[Ronald Witwicky]]'s wife. She is very protective of [[Mojo|her dog]] and her garden. She is strict when it comes to discipline, but still understanding and supportive of the men in her life.

She doesn't mind if you masturbate. [[Autobot|Giant robot]]s are another story.

==Fiction==
===''Prime Directives'' preview comics===
===''Transformers'' 2007 film===
''Actor:'' [[Julie White]] (English) [[Yukari Nozawa]] (Japan)

{{Spoiler}}
While tending her backyard garden, she had the chance to observe Sam's [[Bumblebee (Movie)|new car]] in action. Upon seeing it emit a large cloud of black smoke, she paused for a moment, then told her husband Ron that he was cheap. Ron maintained that since it was Sam's first car, it was supposed to do that. It's unlikely Judy believed that.

On the day that Sam's car chased him around town, she was enjoying an evening of television and a little drinking with her husband when Sam came home three minutes past his curfew. Judy felt that he should be grounded for this, but Ron -- that pushover -- let him off the hook. While the Autobots milled around in her back yard (and crushed her flowers and new water fountain), Sam and [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]] snuck into Sam's room to look for [[Archibald Witwicky]]'s [[glasses]]. Just a few minutes later [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] accidentally stumbled into the house's power lines, cutting the block's electricity, and fell down. Ron thought it was an earthquake and took cover under the dining room table. Amazed and still sitting on the couch, Judy looked over to him and asked, "How'd you get over there so fast?"

Just a moment later, they headed upstairs to Sam's room, from where noises and lights were originating. She begged Sam to open his locked door before Ron started counting. Just before Ron reached zero, Sam opened up. Judy asked him why he was all grimey and sweaty. He was acting strangely. She asked -- not judgementally, just trying to get to the bottom of things -- if he'd been masturbating. She seemed to be the only person not embarassed by this. Eventually, Mikaela -- who had been hiding -- stood up to try to explain things. Judy was delighted to realize that Sam had been hiding a girl in his room. She complimented Mikaela and apologized for making her sit through their "family discussion". Mikaela told Sam she thought his mother was very nice.

Sam and Mikaela then went down to get his backpack from the kitchen, but they were inturrupted when [[Sector Seven|government agents]] swarmed the house, stepping all over her flower beds, and started asking questions. Judy bravely stood up to the men, threatening to beat the crap out of them for touching her plants and to kick their asses if they hurt Mojo, but eventually the whole family was carted off.

Much later, after the [[Decepticon]]s were defeated, Judy and Ron were interviewed for a newscast of some sort. They pish-poshed the idea that aliens had been tromping around the area, and expressed their faith that the government would let us know about that sort of thing if it were going on. After the interview, Judy awkwardly pointed out that their interviewer's head is a different shape in person than on TV.

==Trivia==
* According to writer [[Roberto Orci]], Judy was named after his mother-in-law. [http://www.iesb.net/index.php?option=com_ezine&task=read&page=1&category=2&article=2718]

Before they could view any more information, an FBI assault team crashed through the front door, prompting Glen's cousin to break out of the back door in a bid to escape, but is tackled into the swimming pool by an FBI agent. As he and Maggie are handcuffed, Glen cries out that ''nobody'' treads on his grandma's carpet, especially the po-lice.

While in an FBI holding room, Glen eats a plate of donuts, telling Maggie that she shouldn't worry, the FBI were going to play 'Good cop/Bad cop', and the donuts were a test. He theorizes that a guilty person would not touch the donuts, while an innocent man would eat them, and he's eaten the entire plate. He concludes that all they need to do is stick up for each other and they'll be fine. As soon as the interrogation agents arrive, announcing that the pair were both in a ''lot'' of trouble, Glen suddenly cries out that its all Maggie's fault, she's the one who brought him the data, and that he was just playing video games. He further reveals that he is a virgin, and that the worst he has done is download a few thousand songs off the internet, but who hasn't? After being told to shut up by Maggie, he exclaims that a criminal such as herself shouldn't talk to him, then quickly sits down to recover from the sugar rush while Maggie explains what she was trying to accomplish.

[[Image:Maggie-and-Glen.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Glen (right) with [[Maggie Madsen]] (left) and a US soldier who didn't quite make the shot.]]

Later, Secretary of Defence [[John Keller|Keller]] barges into the room, announcing that Maggie was coming with him as an adviser. Glen inquired about himself, prompting the confused Keller to ask who he was. Maggie replied that Glen was ''her'' adviser. Keller allowed him to come along. Soon, they were in a helicopter with [[Samuel James Witwicky|two]] [[Mikaela Banes|teenagers]] who were also on board for some reason. The boy broke the awkward silence, prompting Maggie to ask what did the government get them in for. To Glen's astonishment, the boy, Sam, replied that he bought a car that turned out to be [[Bumblebee (Movie)|an alien robot]].

When the Iceman thawed, Secretary Keller, [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons]], and Maggie managed to get an old radio, unfortunately, it had no microphones. Maggie suggested that Glen wire a computer to the radio and use that as an interface, using Keller's authorization codes as confirmation. Despite an attack by [[Frenzy (Movie)|a tiny killer robot]], Glen was able to link up with the military. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

Judy Witwicky

2007-09-22T23:07:21Z

82.34.51.74: /* ''Transformers'' 2007 film */

:''Judy Witwicky is a [[human]] in the [[Movie (franchise)|Transformers 2007 film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Judywitwicky.jpg|right|thumb|150px|And this expression is why they never mention Mrs. Witwicky in any other continuity.]]

'''Judith "Judy" Witwicky''' (née '''Taylor''', 1960- ) is [[Samuel James Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]]'s mom and [[Ronald Witwicky]]'s wife. She is very protective of [[Mojo|her dog]] and her garden. She is strict when it comes to discipline, but still understanding and supportive of the men in her life.

She doesn't mind if you masturbate. [[Autobot|Giant robot]]s are another story.

==Fiction==
===''Prime Directives'' preview comics===
===''Transformers'' 2007 film===
''Actor:'' [[Julie White]] (English) [[Marika Hayashi]] (Japan)

{{Spoiler}}
While tending her backyard garden, she had the chance to observe Sam's [[Bumblebee (Movie)|new car]] in action. Upon seeing it emit a large cloud of black smoke, she paused for a moment, then told her husband Ron that he was cheap. Ron maintained that since it was Sam's first car, it was supposed to do that. It's unlikely Judy believed that.

On the day that Sam's car chased him around town, she was enjoying an evening of television and a little drinking with her husband when Sam came home three minutes past his curfew. Judy felt that he should be grounded for this, but Ron -- that pushover -- let him off the hook. While the Autobots milled around in her back yard (and crushed her flowers and new water fountain), Sam and [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]] snuck into Sam's room to look for [[Archibald Witwicky]]'s [[glasses]]. Just a few minutes later [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] accidentally stumbled into the house's power lines, cutting the block's electricity, and fell down. Ron thought it was an earthquake and took cover under the dining room table. Amazed and still sitting on the couch, Judy looked over to him and asked, "How'd you get over there so fast?"

Just a moment later, they headed upstairs to Sam's room, from where noises and lights were originating. She begged Sam to open his locked door before Ron started counting. Just before Ron reached zero, Sam opened up. Judy asked him why he was all grimey and sweaty. He was acting strangely. She asked -- not judgementally, just trying to get to the bottom of things -- if he'd been masturbating. She seemed to be the only person not embarassed by this. Eventually, Mikaela -- who had been hiding -- stood up to try to explain things. Judy was delighted to realize that Sam had been hiding a girl in his room. She complimented Mikaela and apologized for making her sit through their "family discussion". Mikaela told Sam she thought his mother was very nice.

Sam and Mikaela then went down to get his backpack from the kitchen, but they were inturrupted when [[Sector Seven|government agents]] swarmed the house, stepping all over her flower beds, and started asking questions. Judy bravely stood up to the men, threatening to beat the crap out of them for touching her plants and to kick their asses if they hurt Mojo, but eventually the whole family was carted off.

Much later, after the [[Decepticon]]s were defeated, Judy and Ron were interviewed for a newscast of some sort. They pish-poshed the idea that aliens had been tromping around the area, and expressed their faith that the government would let us know about that sort of thing if it were going on. After the interview, Judy awkwardly pointed out that their interviewer's head is a different shape in person than on TV.

==Trivia==
* According to writer [[Roberto Orci]], Judy was named after his mother-in-law. [http://www.iesb.net/index.php?option=com_ezine&task=read&page=1&category=2&article=2718]

John Keller

2007-09-22T23:05:50Z

82.34.51.74: /* ''Transformers'' (2007 film) */

:''John Keller is a [[human]] in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Johnkeller.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Keller sidesteps comedy gold by not being the Vice President.]]
'''John Keller''' is Secretary of Defense of the [[United States of America]]. He not only seems to pretty much run the country while the [[President of the United States]] binges on Ding-Dongs, but he's also rather handy with a shotgun.

He doesn't want to hear any of this [[Transformer|alien robot]] crap.

==Fiction==
===''Transformers'' (2007 film)===
:''Actor:'' [[Jon Voight]] (English) [[Minoru Hirano]] (Japan)

After the [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]] was attacked by [[Blackout (Movie)|unknown hostiles]], Keller lead a briefing on what they knew to a group of [[The Pentagon|Petagon]]-computer technicians, informing them that someone had tried to hack the Defense Network during the attack. Later, when [[Air Force One]] was hacked by [[Frenzy (Movie)|another unknown hostile]], he ordered the President to be placed in the Presidential bunker.

When he was briefed on the possible countries that were capable of such hacks, [[Maggie Madsen]], who had led the team which discovered the second hack, informed him that those countries were incapable of such work. When she suggested that it might be a living organism behind it, Keller told her to find some evidence, or shut up. However, he was later informed that survivors of the base attack were under attack by a hostile. When the Pentagon recieved video feed, they saw that the hostile was [[Scorponok (Movie)|a never before seen creature]]. After the creature was driven off, Keller ordered the men to be returned to the states and debriefed.

Later, a virus which had been uploaded by the second hacker lead to a global communications shutdown. During that time, [[Tom Banachek]] arrived with orders from the President to brief Keller. Taking him to the briefing room, Banachek showed Keller images of the [[Mars]] [[Beagle 2 Rover]]. Officially, the rover had crashed and been lost. Unofficially, thirteen seconds of information had been sent before the rover had been destroyed by a [[Decepticon|humanoid creature]]. Banachek then compared images of the creature from Mars and images of the "weapons platform" the SOCCENT survivors had taken before their retreat. When Keller asked if the planet was under threat of invasion, Banachek told him to look out at the static filled screens. Keller ordered the dispatched naval fleets to be returned somehow, and had Madsen brought with him as his advisor, along with ''her'' advisor [[Glen Whitmann]].

Taken to [[Hoover Dam]], Keller met with [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]], CO of the SOCCENT survivors, and informed him that they were doing their best to load all gunships with sabot rounds. Going inside, he was shocked to see a frozen [[N.B.E.-1]], and was very upset that he had never been informed about it. This was made even worse when [[Samuel James Witwicky|some kid]] told them that N.B.E.-1, whose real name was [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], was the harbringer of death and planned to turn all of Earth's machines to conquer the galaxy with some device called the [[All Spark]]. During a demonstration of the All Spark's power, [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons]] brought Glen's Nokia produced cellphone [[Nokia robot|to life]], commenting that the Japanese were skilled inventors. When Maggie commented that Nokia was from Finland, Keller reminded her that Simmons was a strange man.

After [[Starscream (Movie)|a Decepticon]] attacked the Dam, Megatron began to unthaw, Keller accompanied the others to the armory. During the standoff between Agent Simmons and Captain Lennox over releasing [[Bumblebee (Movie)|the kid's Camaro]], Keller advised Simmons to listen to Lennox. After the Camaro shrank the All Spark, Keller, Simmons, Maggie, and Glen went to the archives room, where they attempted to send out a radio signal to support the soldiers taking the cube to [[Mission City]]. Sadly, the radio had no microphones, but Glen attempted to connect a computer to the radio. Their efforts were interrupted by a spastic little abomination that had hacked Air Force One. Keller provided cover fire with an old shotgun while Glen worked. Fortunately, the spastic abomination killed itself with one of its own razors. After contact was made, Keller used his authorization codes to send air support to Mission City.

After the Decepticons were destroyed, Keller informed the military that Sector Seven was to be shutdown, and that the Decepticons corpses were to be dropped in the [[Laurentian Abyss]], which Keller (inaccurately) said was the deepest place on the planet.

Robert Epps

2007-09-22T23:03:16Z

82.34.51.74: /* ''Transformers'' (2007 film) */

: ''Robert Epps is a [[human]] in the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Robert_Epps.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Epps waits to become a [[G.I. Joe]] figure.]]

'''Robert Epps''' is a Technical Sergeant in the [[United States Military|United States Air Force]]. He's under the command of [[William Lennox|Captain William Lennox]]. He frequently demands the bringing of things, such as it. He is entitled to wear the scarlet beret of [[Wikipedia:Air Force Special Tactics|Air Force Combat Control]]. This means he made it through "Superman School", so he's one of four [[Bumblebee (Movie)|characters]] [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|referencing]] [[Reggie Simmons|Superman]]. He keeps a Visa credit card in one of his many back pockets. The one on his left butt cheek, to be specific.

==Fiction==
===''Transformers'' (2007 film)===
:''Actor:'' [[Tyrese Gibson]] (English) [[Jin Yamanoi]] (Japanese)

Sergeant Epps and the other soldiers under Captain Lennox's command were returning to [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] after some hard duty. When Lennox revealed that wanted to go home to see his baby girl more than anything else, Epps joined in with the men in teasing their commander. As night fell, a mysterious [[Blackout (Movie)|MH-53 helicopter]] arrived at the base, and after being surrounded by dozens of troops, it suddenly transformed into a giant robot which proceeded to attack the base. Epps ran and ordered other soldiers to ready combat stations as they were under attack. The giant robot narrowly misses crushing him as he used his digital recorder to take footage of the strange machine. Fellow soldier [[Jorge Figueroa|Figueroa]] saves Epps by firing a sabot round at the robot, which allowed Epps to escape. Epps links up with the rest of Lennox's team and the Captain's little buddy [[Mahfous]] and high-tails it out of the exploding base.

[[Image:Movie_LennoxEpps_backpockets.jpg|left|thumb||10: LEFT CHEEK!
20: GOTO 10]]

The next morning, the survivors discussed the previous night's events, with Epps sharing with them the images he captured and the unnerving feeling that as he was recording the thing, it stared right back at him. Later that day, as they made their way to local boy Mahfous' village, Epps spots [[Scorponok (Movie)|a giant metal spike]] coming out of the sand aimed at Lennox's back and began firing wildly into the sand. After [[Sergeant Donnelly]] is impaled and killed by the robotic scorpion, the rest of the men run for their lives to the cover of the village. Lennox managed to borrow a cell phone from [[Akram]], Mahfous's father, and asks for Epps' wallet for a credit card to make the call. In between firing rounds from his rifle, Epps barked that it was in his back pocket, prompting Lennox to protest that he had ten back pockets. Epps loudly clarified his left cheek.

[[Image:Movie_Epps_BringIt.jpg|right|thumb|300px|BRING IT!]]

When contact when the Pentagon is established, Epps coordinates with the [[E-3 Sentry]] AWACS plane to give orders for the incoming A-10 Thunderbolt IIs of Strike Package Bravo, indicating the target area killbox one-alpha with orange flares and laser guidance markers. As the A-10s arrive to provide air support, he gave them clearance to fire by shouting, "Bring it!". When their weapons completely failed to dent Scorponok, Lennox suggested the biggest barrels the Air Force has: the 105 millimeter cannons of AC-130 Spectre gunship. This is signaled with a shout of "Bring the rain!", pounding Scorponok into the sand. As the dust settled, the scorpion got up and dived into the sand, but not before leaving part of its damaged tail behind.

In the aftermath of combat with Scorponok, Epps and the rest of Lennox's Spec Ops team are ordered home to [[United States of America|American]] soil by Secretary of Defense [[John Keller]], who had thought everyone at the SOCCENT base was massacred. They take the end of Scorponok's tail with them on the flight. Doing their own analysis of the piece of [[Transformer|robot]] body, they discover that the [[Self-regenerating molecular armor]] doesn't regenerate where hit by sabot rounds, which Epps confirms is "something like" a 6000 degree magnesium burn. They call the Pentagon again, telling them all gunships have to be loaded with sabot rounds to fight these things.

Later, Epps and the team land at [[Nellis Air Force Base]]. Instead of being debriefed on site, a guy from [[Sector Seven]] grabs one of their bags and orders them to come with him. This is confusing, since Sector Seven doesn't exist.

Epps and the team are driven to [[Hoover Dam]], where they stand around looking awesome in their fatigues as [[Sam Witwicky|other]] [[Mikaela Banes|people]] [[Maggie Madsen|who]] [[Glen Whitmann|know]] about the alien robots arrive. Everyone files inside Hoover Dam, where Sector Seven has been hiding the [[Megatron|leader]] of the [[Decepticon|evil alien invaders]] and the All Spark for 80 years. Upon seeing a thick steel door with triple claw marks in it, Epps wants to know what the hell, was [[wikipedia:Freddy Krueger|Freddy Krueger]] in here? [[Glen Whitmann|A geek]] points out that Freddy Krueger got four claws, that was [[Wolverine]]! Shortly thereafter, [[Sam Witwicky|a kid]] gets in a fight with [[Reggie Simmons]] of Sector Seven over whether or not to release the ''good'' alien robot who's been disguised as a Camaro. Lennox attempts to settle the argument by putting his sidearm to Simmons' forehead, and Epps backs up his Commanding Officer in the geometrically complex standoff that ensues. They win. Losing's not really an option for these guys.

While everyone's still inside Hoover Dam, the Decepticons attack, knocking out power. All communications are dead as the giant evil robot leader thaws out. After calling the Air Force with Morse code, the only thing left to do is get the All Spark to [[Mission City]], where it can be hidden in the urban jungle until the military arrives to evacuate it by helicopter. Epps complains when handed a couple of very large shortwave radios that these are "Radio Shack dinosaur radios, won't be able to work more than 20 miles."

Later, making a stand in [[Mission City]], Lennox and Epps say "Bring the rain!" again. Stuff gets '''brought'''. While the Air Force brings it, Epps and the rest of the team fight [[Brawl (Movie)|the Decepticon tank]] with all five of the [[Autobot|good robots]], which almost gets him killed. Luckily, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|that robot Camaro]] zips in on the back of a tow truck and saves him. Then he helps Lennox kill [[Blackout (Movie)|that helicopter]] who killed their comrades in Qatar.

===IDW Transformers Movie Adaptation===
Epps is in the same scenes as in the film, but he doesn't get any of his great lines. It can assumed this is because instead of Tyrese Gibson, the part of Epps is played by G.I. Joe figures [[Alex Milne]] had on his drawing desk.

===Transformers: The Movie novel===
Once again, he's in all the same scenes as in the film. This time he ''does'' bring his signature lines.

In 2003, Simmons lead a team of Sector 7 agents to capture [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], then known as N.B.E.-2, by luring him into a trap using an artificial isotope derived from the sub-atomic matter of the [[All Spark|cube]], which put out an almost identical energy signature to that of the cube. After spending two days waiting in the New Mexico desert, Bumblebee appeared, followed by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]], and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Thanks to the Decepticons, who destroyed several Apache helicopters and tried to hack into Sector 7's network, Simmons's plan to capture Bumblebee failed horribly.

[[Image:Movie_Simmons_meetmyfriend.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Sadly, Sector Seven's insurance does not cover "[[Autobot|Giant robot]]s", because Giant robots don't exist.]]

Agent Simmons went to the Witwicky residence when Sector Seven suspected that [[Samuel James Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]] had contact with an [[Transformer|N.B.E.]] they were tracking. Taking Sam and Mikaela into custody, he got too into the bad cop role, threatening Sam with life imprisonment, threatening Mikaela's father's parole, and revealing Mikaela's own criminal record. This worked until a seriously P.O.ed [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] decided to pay Sam and Mikaela's bail—by ripping the roof of their SUV off. Though the Autobots easily disarmed the Agents, Simmons revealed that the only communication he was authorized to have with the NBEs was to tell them he wasn't authorized to communicate with them. He also refused to answer any questions from Sam and Mikaela about Sector Seven or how they knew of the [[Autobot]]s, prompting an annoyed [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] to release lubricant on him. As the Autobots left, Mikaela had Simmons strip as punishment for threatening her father. However, Bumblebee, Sam, and Mikaela were later recaptured.

After arriving at [[Hoover Dam]] (and presumably the ''longest'' shower of his life), Agent Simmons told Sam and Mikaela that they may have gotten off on the wrong foot. Taking them to see the [[Megatron (Movie)|Mega Man]], Sam told Simmons of Megatron's plans. However, [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] had infiltrated the Dam, and sent a message to the [[Decepticon]]s, causing [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] to attack. Sam urged Simmons to release Bumblebee, saying he would help, but Simmons was only convinced after some armedg persuasion on the part of [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]]. Simmons, [[John Keller|Secretary Keller]], [[Maggie Madsen]], and [[Glen Whitmann]] managed to send out an S.O.S. through old radios in the Dams archives, while Keller and Simmons provided cover fire from an attacking Frenzy.

Agent Simmons' status after Sector Seven was shut down is unknown. Originally, Simmons wore a normal agent's suit. After Mikaela made him strip his uniform, Simmons was given a new uniform to replace the lubricated one. His new outfit made him look like even more of an authority-enforcer.

===''Transformers'' (2007 film)===
:''Actor:'' [[Shia LaBeouf]] (English) [[Fuminori Komatsu]] (Japan)

After getting an undeserved A- for his genealogy report, Sam and his father went to buy a car. Though they passed a [[Jazz (G1)|Porsche]] car lot, Ron was actually playing a cruel joke on his son (real smart, considering that he'll eventually get [[wikipedia:Power of attorney|power of attorney]] someday). Going to [[Bobby Bolivia]]'s car lot, they went shopping for a used car. Sam spotted a Camaro that he liked, but Ron, ever the cheap man, refused to go over four thousand dollars. However, when all the windows in the car lot suddenly exploded, Bolivia agreed to four thousand.

Taking his friend [[Miles]] to the lake, they encountered Mikaela and her boyfriend [[Trent]]. Trent pretty much told them to get lost, but Mikaela then dumped Trent. Realizing he had his one shot, Sam abandoned Miles and offered to give Mikaela a ride home. When his car had some engine trouble, Mikaela looked under the hood and was quite impressed with the layout of the Camaro's engine, though Sam was more impressed with the layout of Mikaela.

Later that night, his car suddenly left. Believing it was being stolen, Sam followed it to an abandoned junkyard. To his shock and horror, the car was [[Transformer|alive]]. Sam left his last words to his parents and [[Mojo]], then investigated. Some police came and arrested him, and an overzealous cop, believing him to be a junkie, ripped him a new one. Returning home, [[Unicron|Satan]]'s Camaro arrived, and Sam fled ignominiously on his mother's pink bike. He hit the cement hard in front of Mikaela, and soon found a police car. He demanded the officer's help... at which point said police car turned into [[Barricade (Movie)|an even scarier car]]. The cop car demanded the location of Sam's eBay items, but Sam fled and ran into Mikaela. The Camaro arrived and took them to a power plant, where the two cars fought it out, while Sam was chased by [[Frenzy (Movie)|a spastic abomination]] who pantsed him. Mikaela was able to cut it's head off, which Sam punted. Sam and Mikaela approached the Camaro, who could only speak through his radio, and were escorted to an abandoned alley, where they met the biggest surprises of them all. Four other cars [[Transformation|transformed]] into robots. The lead robot, after inquiring about Sam's identity, introduced himself as [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and his companions as the [[Autobot]]s, autonomous robotic lifeforms from [[Cybertron (planet)|the planet Cybertron]]. Prime introduced [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], his first lieutenant, [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], the weapons expert, [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], the medical officer, and identified the Camaro as Bumblebee, Sam's appointed guardian. Optimus explained their mission to locate the [[All Spark]], [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and the [[Decepticon]]s, and how Archibald Witwicky's [[glasses]] played a vital role in finding the All Spark.

Going to his house, Sam frantically searched for the glasses, but the Autobots were somewhat impatient and totally wrecked his dad's backyard. After finding the glasses, government agents arrived. Their leader, [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons]], took Sam and Mikaela into custody, separating Sam from his parents. Simmons went bad cop on Sam, threatening him with life imprisonment and revealing Mikaela's criminal record. Just as Simmons demanded answers about aliens, Prime intercepted the convoy, and the Autobots totally outclassed the agents. Sam demanded to know what [[Sector Seven]] was, but a backup team arrived. Prime took Sam and Mikaela to hide under a bridge, but they nearly fell to their deaths. Bumblebee saved them, but was captured, and Sam and Mikaela recaptured.

Taken to [[Hoover Dam]], Simmons tried the awkward role of good cop, but Sam was uninterested in talking. [[Tom Banachek]] tried to bribe him, and Sam demanded the freeing of Bumblebee, his parents, and the expunging of Mikaela's criminal record. Taking them into the Dam, Sector Seven showed them [[N.B.E.-1]], who Sam recognized as Megatron. he explained Megatron's goals, and the purpose of the All Spark. However, the spastic abomination that pantsed him sent a message to the Decepticons, who attacked. Sam implored Sector Seven to release Bumblebee, saying he could help, which [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] assisted by putting a gun to Simmon's chest. Bumblebee converted the All Spark to a smaller form, and the soldiers escorted the two teens and Bumblebee to [[Mission City]], soon augmented by the Autobots.

Upon reaching Mission City, an F-22 Raptor was spotted, which Ironhide recognized as [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Starscream attacked, damaging Bumblebee's legs, and [[Brawl (Movie)|a tank]] attacked the soldiers. Megatron soon arrived and killed Jazz, and Lennox ordered Sam to take the All Spark to a building to be escorted out of the city. Sam was pursued by Megatron, Starscream, and [[Blackout (Movie)|a helicopter]]. Reaching the building, Sam ignited a flare, but his ride was destroyed by Starscream. Megatron demanded the All Spark, in exchange for living to be his pet (causing [[Ravage|other]] [[Laserbeak|pets]] to weep uncontrollably), but Sam refused. Megatron used his flail to knock Sam off the roof, but Sam was saved by Optimus Prime. Prime thanked Sam for his efforts, and told him that if he couldn't defeat Megatron, Sam was to merge the Cube with his [[spark]], destroying both Prime and the All Spark. However, Megatron was too powerful for Optimus to defeat alone, and Prime told Sam to give him the All Spark. Instead, Sam merged the All Spark with Megatron, killing him. Optimus extended his thanks, telling him he owed Sam a debt of gratitude. Bumblebee, who could now speak, requested permission to stay with Sam, to which Sam eagerly agreed. Sam and Mikaela entered into a relationship, and made out on Bumblebee's hood while Ironhide and Ratchet observed.

Sam ''really'' loves having a car.

==Trivia==
* Sam was not given the nickname "[[Spike Witwicky|Spike]]", nor [[Ronald Witwicky|his father]] the nickname "[[Sparkplug Witwicky|Sparkplug]]" (though [[Judy Witwicky|his wife ]] does refer to him as "Spark"), because unlike their G1 counterparts the movie characters are not oil rig workers or mechanics. Earlier drafts of the script did have Sam earning the nickname "Spike" another way, but this was dropped before the script was finalized. [http://boards.transformersmovie.com/showpost.php?p=350123&postcount=4134]

* He's not getting a Porsche. Srsly.

* Sam's eBay username 'ladiesman217' is a reference to movie director [[Michael Bay]]'s birthday, February 17th. If 217 had the same meaning for Sam, that would make his date of birth February 17th, 1990.<ref>The [[:Image:Witwickytree.jpg|genealogy chart]] in [[Transformers (2007)|the 2007 movie]] indicates Sam was born in 1990.</ref>

*In the Japanese dub of the film, Sam's eBay username is changed from "ladiesman217" to "playboy217", since "ladies' man" isn't a term the Japanese are familiar with.

He demanded the officer's help... at which point said police car turned into [[Barricade (Movie)|an even scarier car]]. The cop car demanded the location of Sam's eBay items, but Sam fled and ran into Mikaela. The Camaro arrived and took them to a power plant, where the two cars fought it out, while Sam was chased by [[Frenzy (Movie)|a spastic abomination]] who pantsed him. Mikaela was able to cut it's head off, which Sam punted. Sam and Mikaela approached the Camaro, who could only speak through his radio, and were escorted to an abandoned alley, where they met the biggest surprises of them all. Four other cars [[Transformation|transformed]] into robots. The lead robot, after inquiring about Sam's identity, introduced himself as [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and his companions as the [[Autobot]]s, autonomous robotic lifeforms from [[Cybertron (planet)|the planet Cybertron]]. Prime introduced [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], his first lieutenant, [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], the weapons expert, [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], the medical officer, and identified the Camaro as Bumblebee, Sam's appointed guardian. Optimus explained their mission to locate the [[All Spark]], [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and the [[Decepticon]]s, and how Archibald Witwicky's [[glasses]] played a vital role in finding the All Spark.

Going to his house, Sam frantically searched for the glasses, but the Autobots were somewhat impatient and totally wrecked his dad's backyard. After finding the glasses, government agents arrived. Their leader, [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons]], took Sam and Mikaela into custody, separating Sam from his parents. Simmons went bad cop on Sam, threatening him with life imprisonment and revealing Mikaela's criminal record. Just as Simmons demanded answers about aliens, Prime intercepted the convoy, and the Autobots totally outclassed the agents. Sam demanded to know what [[Sector Seven]] was, but a backup team arrived. Prime took Sam and Mikaela to hide under a bridge, but they nearly fell to their deaths. Bumblebee saved them, but was captured, and Sam and Mikaela recaptured.

Taken to [[Hoover Dam]], Simmons tried the awkward role of good cop, but Sam was uninterested in talking. [[Tom Banachek]] tried to bribe him, and Sam demanded the freeing of Bumblebee, his parents, and the expunging of Mikaela's criminal record. Taking them into the Dam, Sector Seven showed them [[N.B.E.-1]], who Sam recognized as Megatron. he explained Megatron's goals, and the purpose of the All Spark. However, the spastic abomination that pantsed him sent a message to the Decepticons, who attacked. Sam implored Sector Seven to release Bumblebee, saying he could help, which [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] assisted by putting a gun to Simmon's chest. Bumblebee converted the All Spark to a smaller form, and the soldiers escorted the two teens and Bumblebee to [[Mission City]], soon augmented by the Autobots.

Upon reaching Mission City, an F-22 Raptor was spotted, which Ironhide recognized as [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Starscream attacked, damaging Bumblebee's legs, and [[Brawl (Movie)|a tank]] attacked the soldiers. Megatron soon arrived and killed Jazz, and Lennox ordered Sam to take the All Spark to a building to be escorted out of the city. Sam was pursued by Megatron, Starscream, and [[Blackout (Movie)|a helicopter]]. Reaching the building, Sam ignited a flare, but his ride was destroyed by Starscream. Megatron demanded the All Spark, in exchange for living to be his pet (causing [[Ravage|other]] [[Laserbeak|pets]] to weep uncontrollably), but Sam refused. Megatron used his flail to knock Sam off the roof, but Sam was saved by Optimus Prime. Prime thanked Sam for his efforts, and told him that if he couldn't defeat Megatron, Sam was to merge the Cube with his [[spark]], destroying both Prime and the All Spark. However, Megatron was too powerful for Optimus to defeat alone, and Prime told Sam to give him the All Spark. Instead, Sam merged the All Spark with Megatron, killing him. Optimus extended his thanks, telling him he owed Sam a debt of gratitude. Bumblebee, who could now speak, requested permission to stay with Sam, to which Sam eagerly agreed. Sam and Mikaela entered into a relationship, and made out on Bumblebee's hood while Ironhide and Ratchet observed.

Sam ''really'' loves having a car.

==Trivia==
* Sam was not given the nickname "[[Spike Witwicky|Spike]]", nor [[Ronald Witwicky|his father]] the nickname "[[Sparkplug Witwicky|Sparkplug]]" (though [[Judy Witwicky|his wife ]] does refer to him as "Spark"), because unlike their G1 counterparts the movie characters are not oil rig workers or mechanics. Earlier drafts of the script did have Sam earning the nickname "Spike" another way, but this was dropped before the script was finalized. [http://boards.transformersmovie.com/showpost.php?p=350123&postcount=4134]

* He's not getting a Porsche. Srsly.

* Sam's eBay username 'ladiesman217' is a reference to movie director [[Michael Bay]]'s birthday, February 17th. If 217 had the same meaning for Sam, that would make his date of birth February 17th, 1990.<ref>The [[:Image:Witwickytree.jpg|genealogy chart]] in [[Transformers (2007)|the 2007 movie]] indicates Sam was born in 1990.</ref>

*In the Japanese dub of the film, Sam's eBay username is changed from "ladiesman217" to "playboy217", since "ladies' man" isn't a term the Japanese are familiar with.

Jazz (Movie)

2007-09-22T22:50:36Z

82.34.51.74: /* ''Transformers'' (2007) film */

{{disambig3|Jazz}}

:''Jazz is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MovieJazz_promorender.jpg|right|thumb|350px|"Slide with me. Just bounce with me. Now freeze!"]]

First Lieutenant '''Jazz''' is one happy-go-lucky Autobot. Good-natured and always able to take things in stride, he provides a decent contrast to the more serious demeanor of [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] or [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Prime]] himself. He's also a talker, something Ironhide and Prime like to tease him about. He might be the smallest Autobot but he's by no means a coward. His only real complaint is that he always gets stuck fighting the small ones.

==Fiction==
===Ghosts Of Yesterday===
Onboard the Ark, Jazz was the first to detect the ''[[Ghost 1]]'s'' presence, and was later badly damaged in a fight with the Decepticons. After being repaired, he and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] fought together against [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

===Transformers The Game (console)===
:''Voice actor'': [[Andrew Kishino]]

====Autobot campaign====
Jazz arrived on Earth as part of Optimus Prime's unit, summoned to Earth by Bumblebee. After taking on the form of a Pontiac Solstice, he met up with the other Autobots. His first mission was to distract Sector Seven and law enforcement units, which he did, buying his fellow autobots time to escape.

He would then make his way to [[Mission City]], where he engaged [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and two [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] drones. Jazz defeated all four of them, but as he celebrated his great victory, [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] appeared behind him and punctured Jazz's chest with his claw, extinguishing his [[spark]]. [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] arrived just in time to witness the killing, and fought through a horde of Decepticon units to destroy Brawl.
:''('''NOTE''': Press left, up, down(2), left, up, right, at the New game menu. The screen will flash to confirm the code was entered correctly. Go to the bonus features, then the Generation 1 option to use a G1-homage deco on Jazz. This does not change his appearance in the Decepticon campaign, however.)

====Decepticon campaign====
Jazz arrived in Mission City with Sam and Mikaela (taking the role of the destroyed Bumblebee), where he was confronted by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. After a brief chase through the city, Jazz engaged Barricade in battle, where he was defeated with ease.

===''Transformers'' (2007) film===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Darius McCrary]] (English), [[Taitem Kusunoki]] (Japan)

[[Image:Movie_Jazz_protoformcrash.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Looks like those homers Ruth hit finally came back from orbit. IT'S BACKA HERE!!!!!]]

Jazz was part of Optimus Prime's unit, summoned to Earth by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] after the latter Autobot came to be in the possession of [[Samuel James Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]]. After his [[protoform]] crashed through a baseball stadium, he investigated a nearby car dealership and chose a Pontiac Solstice hardtop as his vehicle mode. Linking up with his fellow Autobots in a deserted alley Jazz greeted Sam and [[Mikaela Banes]] as "little bitches," stating that Earth seems to be a cool place to hang out. He casually sat on the hood of another car while Optimus Prime explained to Sam their mission to find the [[All Spark]] and how his [[Archibald Amundsen Witwicky|grandfather's]] glasses were the key to its location.

Soon after, as Sam looked for his grandfather's glasses, the Autobots attempted to assist by clumsily destroying the yard where they went. When it came to hide from [[Ronald Witwicky|Sam's]] [[Judy Witwicky|parents]], Jazz had the easiest time blending into the shadows due to his small stature.

When Sam and Mikaela were captured by [[Sector Seven]], the Autobots mounted a rescue that saw Optimus Prime tearing the roof off [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons']] vehicle. When the agents attempted to resist, Jazz used a magnet to relieve the humans of their weapons. After Bumblebee was captured by Sector Seven during the retreat, Jazz expressed his desire to rescue him, but was overruled by Optimus Prime, who didn't believe it possible to accomplish this without harming the humans, and so they should let them go.

[[Image:Don't kick the baby.JPG|right|thumb|250px|"Don't kick the baby!"]]

The next day, after Optimus used his navigation scanner on Archibald Witwicky's glasses, Jazz again commented that they could not leave Bumblebee to die at the hands of Sector Seven, to become a human experiment. Optimus replied that Bumblebee would die in vain if they did not find the All Spark, and when Ironhide asked if the primitive and cruel humans deserved to be saved, Optimus countered by asking if Transformers were so different in the past. Going on to explain what he saw in the humans, Prime declared that if it came to it, he would sacrifice himself to destroy the All Spark - the humans should not pay for Cybertron's mistakes. Inspired by his words, Jazz and the other Autobots rolled out, filled with determination.

On the way to [[Hoover Dam]], the Autobots encountered Bumblebee leading a column of Sector Seven assault vehicles. Jazz and his fellow Autobots applied brakes and did a hard u-turn to join the formation.

Entering [[Mission City]], the [[William Lennox|human]] [[Robert Epps|soldiers]] tried to call for air support from their own forces, only to be attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] disguised as a human F-22 fighter. Jazz, oddly, sat in vehicle mode after the explosion which crippled Bumblebee, destroying his legs. When [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] began shelling the battle site, Jazz lead the Autobot charge toward the Decepticon, speeding to the tank in vehicle mode, then transformed and hopped on top of the turret to distract the Decepticon from the humans. As Brawl also transformed, Jazz managed to wreck Brawl's left-side rocket launcher pod before being tossed off.

[[Image:Movie_Prime_Jazz_Ironhide_Ratchet_battleaftermath.jpg|thumb|left|300px|"We lost a great comrade today, we'll miss you, Blues." "His name was ''Jazz'', Prime." "Whatever."]]

Jazz then attacked [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] when he appeared on the scene in order to cover the escape of several fleeing humans, but all he got for his trouble was being blasted by the Decepticon's fusion cannon. As Ironhide and Ratchet escorted Sam and the All Spark to safety, Jazz attempted to buy them some time by taking on Megatron by himself but was completely overmatched. The Decepticon leader tossed him through the air, then landed upon him into the crushing grip of his talons. Valiantly, Jazz fought on to the bitter end as Megatron tore him in two, throwing his pieces to the ground before tackling Optimus.

In the aftermath of Megatron's defeat, Ironhide somberly handed Optimus Prime Jazz's remains as Ratchet reported that he could not save their comrade. Optimus Prime somewhat half-heartedly eulogized him, and quickly moved on. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-04'''
[[Image:Jazzmovietoydeluxe.jpg|right|thumb|200px|"''Just wait. They'll do me in G1 colors soon...''"]]

:Jazz transforms into a silver [[wikipedia:Pontiac_Solstice|Pontiac Solstice]] Custom Hardtop. Included is a blaster weapon that elongates into a sniper rifle, which may also be clipped directly onto his rear spoiler when in vehicle mode. In robot mode, the section featuring this same rear spoiler may be kept folded onto his back or worn on either shoulder as a shield. An interesting undocumented feature is a hinge joint located on the bottom of the rifle can attach to the ''shield's'' hinge joint, creating three choice weapon configurations: ''(a)'' a mounted long range sniper rifle, ''(b)'' an ambidextrous shoulder-mounted canon, or ''(c)'' a short range blaster with built-in shield somewhat akin to what has been seen in Jazz's concept art and in the movie itself.

: As with most of the mainline toys, he features a [[Automorph]]ing gimmick that is activated by pushing the car roof down onto his back and locking it into place. This raises his head and slides his chest panels into proper position for the robot mode. This feature, like the weaponry mentioned above, is not documented at all, so one must be careful to not press the chest ''and'' the back at the same time.

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Legends Class, 2007)
[[Image:Movie_Legends_Jazz_toy.jpg|left|thumb|180px|WhY My buMPeRs hUrT?]]

: A much smaller version of the character, Legends Jazz features limited articulation and detail, along with a much simpler transformation. A rather glaring side-effect of this simplicity, in a desire to mimic the hood chest of the larger toy, is the addition of a second front bumper on the roof of his alt-mode. Whether this means Jazz also includes a second engine to go with this front bumper or an attempt at compensation for a case of [[Barricade (Movie)|police car envy]] is unknown. Ironically, the smallest version of Jazz is the biggest Legends toy in the movie line. Even bigger than Optimus. This may make up for the Arcee toy being taller than his Deluxe figure.

*'''Final Battle Jazz''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-14'''
[[Image:Movie_FinalBattleJazz_toy.jpg|thumb|left|251px|Ouchies.]]

: An extensive retool of Jazz, modifying his head and most of his legs to give them a broken, battle-scarred appearance. Amusingly, because Hasbro chose to keep his vehicle mode pristine, the rest of his body is undamaged. All the damaged parts have a black and blue deco, representing glowing circuitry and exposed conduits.

: Jazz comes with a brand new spring-loaded weapon (called a ''Crescent Cannon'' on the packaging), partially modeled after the actual weapon Jazz appears with in the film. It can fire a transparent blue projectile and, not unlike his original featured weapon, can be mounted in different configurations: ''(a)'' Mounted on his ''right'' arm with the Crescent Cannon missle launcher (with the crescent up) facing forward a la the film, or ''(b)'' mounted on his ''left'' arm with the flip-out rifle barrel pointed forwards (with the crescent down).

: Unusual for a regular Deluxe class figure, this version of Jazz is packaged on his card in robot mode, no doubt to highlight the changes to the figure that would not be visible in the vehicle mode.

: This figure also has a minor change to the joint in the forearm. In the first version, the black hinge-joint was able to slide over slightly as part of the original design, while it is now shorter and much more secure.

: In spite of the claim that this is a "final battle" version of Jazz, his torso does not separate easily from his legs.

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Deluxe-sized Target exclusive, 2007)
[[Image:Movie_G1Jazz_toy.jpg|right|thumb|220px''|"...''real'' soon.''"]]

: An extensive [[redeco]] of Deluxe class Jazz, this Target-[[exclusive]] is heavily based on ''[[Generation 1]]'' [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz's]] Martini Racing scheme. He's lacking in Martini sponsorship for all the obvious reasons, replacing them with his own name. Disco Jazz doesn't need to advertise really, but he does.

: This version features the same forearm joint change first seen on Final Battle Jazz.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Movie_Jazz_armswordconcept.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Cool melee weapon in the game, ''totally'' non-existent in the movie.]]

* The packaging text for the Deluxe Jazz figure refers to his weapon as a "telescoping sword". As ridiculous as this sounds considering this weapon ''looks'' like a firearm and can attach to his spoiler in vehicle mode as such, this very idea actually comes from concept drawings (see image on left) of a sword weapon featured on the same concept art that also had Jazz showcasing the short range blaster/shield thingy both featured in the film and included with his Final Battle retool. So, ''really''... not that ridiculous anymore.

* In an earlier draft of the movie script, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] was supposed to "consume" the Sparks of Autobots he killed. A remainder of this can be found in the novelization and the IDW comic adaption of the movie, which both excplicitly state that Megatron tears out Jazz's Spark. In the movie itself, however, Megatron simply appears to kill Jazz by ripping him apart at the waist, even though [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] was previously able to survive as a detached head.

:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-14'''
[[Image:Movie_FinalBattleJazz_toy.jpg|thumb|left|251px|Ouchies.]]

: An extensive retool of Jazz, modifying his head and most of his legs to give them a broken, battle-scarred appearance. Amusingly, because Hasbro chose to keep his vehicle mode pristine, the rest of his body is undamaged. All the damaged parts have a black and blue deco, representing glowing circuitry and exposed conduits.

: Jazz comes with a brand new spring-loaded weapon (called a ''Crescent Cannon'' on the packaging), partially modeled after the actual weapon Jazz appears with in the film. It can fire a transparent blue projectile and, not unlike his original featured weapon, can be mounted in different configurations: ''(a)'' Mounted on his ''right'' arm with the Crescent Cannon missle launcher (with the crescent up) facing forward a la the film, or ''(b)'' mounted on his ''left'' arm with the flip-out rifle barrel pointed forwards (with the crescent down).

: Unusual for a regular Deluxe class figure, this version of Jazz is packaged on his card in robot mode, no doubt to highlight the changes to the figure that would not be visible in the vehicle mode.

: This figure also has a minor change to the joint in the forearm. In the first version, the black hinge-joint was able to slide over slightly as part of the original design, while it is now shorter and much more secure.

: In spite of the claim that this is a "final battle" version of Jazz, his torso does not separate easily from his legs.

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Deluxe-sized Target exclusive, 2007)
[[Image:Movie_G1Jazz_toy.jpg|right|thumb|220px''|"...''real'' soon.''"]]

: An extensive [[redeco]] of Deluxe class Jazz, this Target-[[exclusive]] is heavily based on ''[[Generation 1]]'' [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz's]] Martini Racing scheme. He's lacking in Martini sponsorship for all the obvious reasons, replacing them with his own name. Disco Jazz doesn't need to advertise really, but he does.

: This version features the same forearm joint change first seen on Final Battle Jazz.

*'''Allspark Legends''' (Legends multi-pack, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_Allspark_Legends_pack.jpg|thumb|left|120px|Why's the man always putting me down?]]

: A Toys "R" Us exclusive, this six-pack of Legends class figures contains unmodified toys of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], Jazz, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

==Trivia==
[[Image:Movie_Jazz_armswordconcept.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Cool melee weapon in the game, ''totally'' non-existent in the movie.]]

* The packaging text for the Deluxe Jazz figure refers to his weapon as a "telescoping sword". As ridiculous as this sounds considering this weapon ''looks'' like a firearm and can attach to his spoiler in vehicle mode as such, this very idea actually comes from concept drawings (see image on left) of a sword weapon featured on the same concept art that also had Jazz showcasing the short range blaster/shield thingy both featured in the film and included with his Final Battle retool. So, ''really''... not that ridiculous anymore.

* In an earlier draft of the movie script, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] was supposed to "consume" the Sparks of Autobots he killed. A remainder of this can be found in the novelization and the IDW comic adaption of the movie, which both excplicitly state that Megatron tears out Jazz's Spark. In the movie itself, however, Megatron simply appears to kill Jazz by ripping him apart at the waist, even though [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] was previously able to survive as a detached head.

[[Image:Robert_Epps.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Epps waits to become a [[G.I. Joe]] figure.]]

'''Robert Epps''' is a Technical Sergeant in the [[United States Military|United States Air Force]]. He's under the command of [[William Lennox|Captain William Lennox]]. He frequently demands the bringing of things, such as it. He is entitled to wear the scarlet beret of [[Wikipedia:Air Force Special Tactics|Air Force Combat Control]]. This means he made it through "Superman School", so he's one of four [[Bumblebee (Movie)|characters]] [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|referencing]] [[Reggie Simmons|Superman]]. He keeps a Visa credit card in one of his many back pockets. The one on his left butt cheek, to be specific.

:''Actor:'' [[Tyrese Gibson]] (English) [[Jin Yamanoi]] (Japan)

{{spoiler}}

Sergeant Epps and the other soldiers under Captain Lennox's command were returning to [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] after some hard duty. When Lennox revealed that wanted to go home to see his baby girl more than anything else, Epps joined in with the men in teasing their commander. As night fell, a mysterious [[Blackout (Movie)|MH-53 helicopter]] arrived at the base, and after being surrounded by dozens of troops, it suddenly transformed into a giant robot which proceeded to attack the base. Epps ran and ordered other soldiers to ready combat stations as they were under attack. The giant robot narrowly misses crushing him as he used his digital recorder to take footage of the strange machine. Fellow soldier [[Jorge Figueroa|Figueroa]] saves Epps by firing a sabot round at the robot, which allowed Epps to escape. Epps links up with the rest of Lennox's team and the Captain's little buddy [[Mahfous]] and high-tails it out of the exploding base.

[[Image:Movie_LennoxEpps_backpockets.jpg|left|thumb|200px|10: LEFT CHEEK!
20: GOTO 10]]

The next morning, the survivors discussed the previous night's events, with Epps sharing with them the images he captured and the unnerving feeling that as he was recording the thing, it stared right back at him. Later that day, as they made their way to local boy Mahfous' villiage, Epps spots [[Scorponok (Movie)|a giant metal spike]] coming out of the sand aimed at Lennox's back and began firing wildly into the sand. After [[Sergeant Donnelly]] is impaled and killed by the robotic scorpion, the rest of the men run for their lives to the cover of the villiage. Lennox managed to borrow a cell phone from [[Akram]], Mahfous's father, and asks for Epps' wallet for a credit card to make the call. In between firing rounds from his rifle, Epps barked that it was in his back pocket, prompting Lennox to protest that he had ten back pockets. Epps loudly clarified his left cheek.

[[Image:Movie_Epps_BringIt.jpg|right|thumb|300px|BRING IT!]]

When contact when the Pentagon is established, Epps coordinates with the [[E-3 Sentry]] AWACS plane to give orders for the incoming [[A-10 Thunderbolt II]]s of Strike Package Bravo, indicating the target area killbox one-alpha with orange flares and laser guidance markers. As the A-10s arrive to provide air support, he gave them clearance to fire by shouting, "Bring it!". When their weapons completely failed to dent Scorponok, Lennox suggested the biggest barrels the Air Force has: the 105 millimeter cannons of [[AC-130 Spectre]] gunship. This is signaled with a shout of "Bring the rain!", pounding Scorponok into the sand. As the dust settled, the scorpion got up and dived into the sand, but not before leaving part of its damaged tail behind.

In the aftermath of combat with Scorponok, Epps and the rest of Lennox's Spec Ops team are ordered home to [[United States of America|American]] soil by Secretary of Defense [[John Keller]], who had thought everyone at the SOCCENT base was massacred. They take the end of Scorponok's tail with them on the flight. Doing their own analysis of the piece of [[Transformer|robot]] body, they discover that the [[Self-regenerating molecular armor]] doesn't regenerate where hit by sabot rounds, which Epps confirms is "something like" a 6000 degree magnesium burn. They call the Pentagon again, telling them all gunships have to be loaded with sabot rounds to fight these things.

Later, Epps and the team land at [[Nellis Air Force Base]]. Instead of being debriefed on site, a guy from [[Sector Seven]] grabs one of their bags and orders them to come with him. This is confusing, since Sector Seven doesn't exist.

Epps and the team are driven to [[Hoover Dam]], where they stand around looking awesome in their fatigues as [[Sam Witwicky|other]] [[Mikaela Banes|people]] [[Maggie Madsen|who]] [[Glen Whitmann|know]] about the alien robots arrive. Everyone files inside Hoover Dam, where Sector Seven has been hiding the [[Megatron|leader]] of the [[Decepticon|evil alien invaders]] and the All Spark for 80 years. Upon seeing a thick steel door with triple claw marks in it, Epps wants to know what the hell, was [[wikipedia:Freddy Krueger|Freddy Krueger]] in here? [[Glen Whitmann|A geek]] points out that Freddy Krueger got four claws, that was [[Wolverine]]! Shortly thereafter, [[Sam Witwicky|a kid]] gets in a fight with [[Reggie Simmons]] of Sector Seven over whether or not to release the ''good'' alien robot who's been disguised as a Camaro. Lennox attempts to settle the argument by putting his sidearm to Simmons' forehead, and Epps backs up his Commanding Officer in the geometrically complex standoff that ensues. They win. Losing's not really an option for these guys.

While everyone's still inside Hoover Dam, the Decepticons attack, knocking out power. All communications are dead as the giant evil robot leader thaws out. After calling the Air Force with Morse code, the only thing left to do is get the All Spark to [[Mission City]], where it can be hidden in the urban jungle until the military arrives to evacuate it by helicopter. Epps complains when handed a couple of very large shortwave radios that these are "Radio Shack dinosaur radios, won't be able to work more than 20 miles."

Later, making a stand in [[Mission City]], Lennox and Epps say "Bring the rain!" again. Stuff gets '''brought'''. While the Air Force brings it, Epps and the rest of the team fight [[Brawl (Movie)|the Decepticon tank]] with all five of the [[Autobot|good robots]], which almost gets him killed. Luckily, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|that robot Camaro]] zips in on the back of a tow truck and saves him. Then he helps Lennox kill [[Blackout (Movie)|that helicopter]] who killed their comrades in Qatar.

===IDW Transformers Movie Adaptation===

Epps is in the same scenes as in the film, but he doesn't get any of his great lines. It can assumed this is because instead of Tyrese Gibson, the part of Epps is played by G.I. Joe figures [[Alex Milne]] had on his drawing desk.

Once again, he's in all the same scenes as in the film. This time he ''does'' bring his signature lines.

[[Image:Movie_Ratchet_promorender.jpg|right|thumb|250px|He's not a vanette with a siren slapped on.]]

'''Ratchet''', the Autobots' medic, is probably the bravest of them all. He'll risk his life to pull any wounded comrade from the battlefield. Indeed, he did not join [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s team to be a soldier; rather, he's there to save lives, and thinks Prime is the best chance the universe has for peace.

:''Voice actor:'' [[Robert Foxworth]] (English) [[Takeshi Watabe]] (Japan)

{{spoiler}}

Hearing [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee's]] call of assistance, Ratchet and the other Autobots under Optimus Prime's direct command came to Earth, with Ratchet crashing into a storefront. As emergency crews and bystanders observe the wreckage, Ratchet assumed the vehicle mode of a nearby Hummer H2 rescue vehicle and drove away.

Ratchet linked up with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], then made their way to a deserted ally to meet up with Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and their new [[Sam Witwicky|human]] [[Mikaela Banes|friends]]. After being introduced as the unit's medical officer, Ratchet remarked that his sensors have indicated that Sam's pheromone levels suggests he wants to mate with Mikaela. He also explained how Bumblebee's [[voicebox]] was damaged, and that he had been having trouble fixing it for some time.

Following Sam to his house, Ratchet and their other Autobots unwittingly caused much destruction to the Witwicky yard and stress to Sam when they attempted to help the boy look for his [[Archibald Witwicky|grandfather's]] glasses. After Sam told them to hide, Ratchet accidently backed into some powerlines, which shocked him enough to make him fall onto a greenhouse. Ratchet found the experience tingly, and Ironhide (possibly sarcastically) mused that it looked fun, but unfortunately this caused a neighborhood-wide blackout, making the search for the glasses much more difficult. Ratchet attempted to help by activating his powerful floodlights which only suceeded in making [[Ron Witwicky|Sam's]] [[Ron Witwicky|parents]] investigate his room. When Ironhide remarked that Sam's parents were annoying and requested Prime's permission to 'take them out', Ratchet nodded vigorously and points Ironhide's left cannon at the house.

[[Image:Movie_Ratchet_Ironhide_runSam.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Oh, that hurt!]]

Soon, Sam, Mikaela and his parents were captured by the mysterious [[Sector Seven]], Ratchet and the other Autobots totally outclassed the S7 agents by instantly disarming them of their weapons, then rescuing the boy and his girl. Their dramatic escape was to be short-lived when Bumblebee was captured while saving his human friends' lives. The next morning, the remaining Autobots gathered to discuss their options. Whether through intuition or some technological means, Ratchet announced that the Decepticons were preparing to make their move. Optimus Prime declared that he would fuse the [[All Spark]] with his own [[spark]], hopefully destroying it. Ratchet cautioned him against this action, as the raw power of the artifact would likely kill him. Prime replied that it was his own choice, and to save the humans from destruction and the mistakes of the Transformers, it was a sacrifice that he was willing to make. Inspired by his words, the Autobots headed to [[Hoover Dam]], before encountering Bumblebee leading a column of Sector Seven vehicles headed in the opposite direction.

As the large group arrived in [[Mission City]], it was attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], with the explosion crippling Bumblebee. At the same time, [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] attacked the surviving human soldiers, prompting Ratchet and Jazz to engage the large Decepticon. As Jazz destroyed one of Brawl's rocket pods, Ratchet used his buzzsaw to slice off the tank's left arm.

[[Image:Movie_Prime_Jazz_Ironhide_Ratchet_battleaftermath.jpg|thumb|right|300px|"We lost a great comrade today, we'll miss you, Blues." "His name was ''Jazz'', Prime." "Whatever."]]

[[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] ordered Sam to take the All Spark to the rooftop of a nearby, run-down building so he could pass the cube to a military helicopter that would soon arrive. Ratchet and Ironhide volunteer themselves to protect Sam as he made his escape. Unfortunately, the villianous Starscream swooped down to block Sam's path, forcing the Autobots to engage him in a rather one-sided battle that saw the both of them knocked down.

After the defeat of Megatron and the destruction of the All Spark, Ratchet somberly informed Optimus Prime that he could not save the fallen Jazz. Later, as Optimus declared that Earth was their new home and that his team would be waiting for any surviving Autobots to gather there, Ratchet spent the remainder of the day observing Sam and Mikaela making out on the hood of Bumblebee's vehicle mode.

===Toy Tech Specs===

Ratchet, despite what he said previously, fixes Jazz up just fine. He also learns a little more about Earth and decides to change to a more typical "rescue" deco. The new look feels more natural to him.

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
*'''Autobot Ratchet''' (Voyager, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-02'''

[[Image:Movie_Voyager_Ratchet_toy.jpg|thumb|right|250px|This green is both [[Neon|NEON]] and [[Playskool|PLAYSKOOL]].]]

:Voyager ''Movie'' Ratchet transforms into a [[wikipedia:Hummer_H2|AM General Hummer H2]], customised as a fire search and rescue vehicle. Mostly accurate to the prop vehicle (though the wheels are rather incorrect), Ratchet is missing some sculpted detailing for the rear doors and lights, as this is where his knee joints are situated. Ratchet is also missing significant amounts of paint applications, with unpainted wheels, emergency tools, and light details, as well as a underpainted face, resulting in a rather monochromatic toy.

:During transformation, unfolding his legs will activate his [[Automorph]]ing feature, which folds out his kneepads and feet, and 'bulges' out two small panels along his inner calves. In robot mode, Ratchet is bulkier than his CGI movie design, with larger, blockier limbs, evoking a more 'traditional' Transformers appearance. He features a reasonable amount of articulation, though his windshield halves and the rear brush guards may occassionally interfere with his arms and legs.

:The only Autobot to not feature a ranged weapon, Ratchet's right forearm unfolds into an axe (based upon a weapon concept study), and the removable rollbar/roof rack can either be mounted on his left arm as a shield, or stored on his back.

:Oddly, though Ratchet's thumbs are articulated, space is so restricted that they are all but useless. His left thumb can only move a millimeter due to his wrist armour getting in the way. His right thumb does have more space to move, but pushing it will invariably disengage the fold-out axe from his forearm.

{{-}}

*'''Autobot Ratchet''' (Legends, 2007)

:An inexpensive, small-scale version of Ratchet, he remains relatively faithful to his vehicle mode (though highly simplified), but transforms very differently due to his simplicity. In robot mode he has a faux truck-front chest that's more faithful to the CGI design than the Voyager toy's chest, but the rest of his robot mode is (understandably) inaccurate and limited in articulation.

:The original was the wrong shade of green. The quick redeco was somewhat more accurate.

*'''Rescue Ratchet''' (Voyager, 2007)

:An extensive [[redeco]] based in part of ''Generation 1'' [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet's]] Marvel comics appearance.

==Trivia==
*Acording to [[Meet the Autobots]] Ratchet has X-ray vision, which lets him see for miles.

*He also has the Autobot logo on his vehicle form, seen on both doors.

*In the Hardcover Movie Guide, it is noted that Ratchet can cannibalize his own parts for emergency treatment of a patient (though it doesn't say how he can replace them...). He can also tow up to 300 lbs over his own weight in vehicle form and his specialization isn't listed as being a medic, but in actually '''getting''' to the wounded.

[[Image:MovieJazz_promorender.jpg|right|thumb|350px|"Slide with me. Just bounce with me. Now freeze!"]]

First Lieutenant '''Jazz''' is one happy-go-lucky Autobot. Good-natured and always able to take things in stride, he provides a decent contrast to the more serious demeanor of [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] or [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Prime]] himself. He's also a talker, something Ironhide and Prime like to tease him about. He might be the smallest Autobot but he's by no means a coward. His only real complaint is that he gets stuck fighting the small ones.

==Fiction==
===Ghosts Of Yesterday===
Onboard the Ark, Jazz was the first to detect the ''[[Ghost 1]]'s'' presence, and was later badly damaged in a fight with the Decepticons. After being repaired, he and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] fought together against [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

===Transformers The Game (console)===
:''Voice actor'': [[Andrew Kishino]]

====Autobot campaign====
Jazz arrived on Earth as part of Optimus Prime's unit, summoned to Earth by Bumblebee. After taking the form on a Pontiac Solstice, he met up with the other Autobots. His first mission was to distract Sector Seven and law enforcement units, which he did, buying his fellow autobots time to escape.

He would then make his way to [[Mission City]], where he engaged [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and two [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] drones. Jazz defeated all four of them, but as he celebrated his great victory, [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] appeared behind him and punctured Jazz's chest with his claw, extinguishing his [[spark]]. [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] arrived just in time to witness the killing, and fought through a horde of Decepticon units to destroy Brawl.

====Decepticon campaign====
Jazz arrived in Mission City with Sam and Mikela (taking the role of the destroyed Bumblebee), where he was confronted by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. After a brief chase through the city, Jazz engaged Barricade in battle, where he was defeated with ease.

[[Image:Movie_Jazz_protoformcrash.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Looks like those homers Ruth hit finally came back from orbit. IT'S BACKA HERE!!!!!]]

Jazz was part of Optimus Prime's unit, summoned to Earth by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] after the latter Autobot came to be in the possession of [[Samuel James Witwicky|Sam Witwicky]]. After his [[protoform]] crashed through a baseball stadium, he investigated a nearby car dealership and chose a Pontiac Solstice hardtop as his vehicle mode. Linking up with his fellow Autobots in a deserted alley Jazz greeted Sam and [[Mikaela Banes]] as "little bitches," stating that Earth seems to be a cool place to hang out. He casually sat on the hood of another car while Optimus Prime explained to Sam their mission to find the [[All Spark]] and how his [[Archibald Amundsen Witwicky|grandfather's]] glasses were the key to its location.

Soon after, as Sam looked for his grandfather's glasses, the Autobots attempted to assist by clumsily destroying the yard where they went. When it came to hide from [[Ronald Witwicky|Sam's]] [[Judy Witwicky|parents]], Jazz had the easiest time blending into the shadows due to his small stature.

When Sam and Mikaela were captured by [[Sector Seven]], the Autobots mounted a rescue that saw Optimus Prime tearing the roof off [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons']] vehicle. When the agents attempted to resist, Jazz used a magnet to relieve the humans of their weapons. After Bumblebee was captured by Sector Seven during the retreat, Jazz expressed his desire to rescue him, but was overruled by Optimus Prime, who didn't believe it possible to accomplish this without harming the humans, and so they should let them go.

[[Image:Don't kick the baby.JPG|right|thumb|250px|"Don't kick the baby!"]]

The next day, after Optimus used his navigation scanner on Archibald Witwicky's glasses, Jazz again commented that they could not leave Bumblebee to die at the hands of Sector Seven, to become a human experiment. Optimus replied that Bumblebee would die in vain if they did not find the All Spark, and when Ironhide asked if the primitive and cruel humans deserved to be saved, Optimus countered by asking if Transformers were so different in the past. Going on to explain what he saw in the humans, Prime declared that if it came to it, he would sacrifice himself to destroy the All Spark - the humans should not pay for Cybertron's mistakes. Inspired by his words, Jazz and the other Autobots rolled out, filled with determination.

On the way to [[Hoover Dam]], the Autobots encountered Bumblebee leading a column of Sector Seven assault vehicles. Jazz and his fellow Autobots applied brakes and did a hard u-turn to join the formation.

Entering [[Mission City]], the [[William Lennox|human]] [[Robert Epps|soldiers]] tried to call for air support from their own forces, only to be attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] disguised as a human F-22 fighter. Jazz, oddly, sat in vehicle mode after the explosion which crippled Bumblebee, destroying his legs. When [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] began shelling the battle site, Jazz lead the Autobot charge toward the Decepticon, speeding to the tank in vehicle mode, then transformed and hopped on top of the turret to distract the Decepticon from the humans. As Brawl also transformed, Jazz managed to wreck Brawl's left-side rocket launcher pod before being tossed off.

[[Image:Movie_Prime_Jazz_Ironhide_Ratchet_battleaftermath.jpg|thumb|left|300px|"We lost a great comrade today, we'll miss you, Blues." "His name was ''Jazz'', Prime." "Whatever."]]

Jazz then attacked [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] when he appeared on the scene in order to cover the escape of several fleeing humans, but all he got for his trouble was being blasted by the Decepticon's fusion cannon. As Ironhide and Ratchet escorted Sam and the All Spark to safety, Jazz attempted to buy them some time by taking on Megatron by himself but was completely overmatched. The Decepticon leader tossed him through the air, then landed upon him into the crushing grip of his talons. Valiantly, Jazz fought on to the bitter end as Megatron tore him in two, throwing his pieces to the ground before tackling Optimus.

In the aftermath of Megatron's defeat, Ironhide somberly handed Optimus Prime Jazz's remains as Ratchet reported that he could not save their comrade. Optimus Prime somewhat half-heartedly eulogized him, and quickly moved on. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

===Toy packaging===
Despite his quite unambiguous death in the film itself, the packaging for the upcoming Target-exclusive Jazz redeco (see below) claims he survived this encounter and was repaired by Ratchet, and that he chose his new colors as a way to relieve boredom during his long convalescence.

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-04'''
[[Image:Jazzmovietoydeluxe.jpg|right|thumb|200px|"Just wait. They'll do me in G1 colors soon..."]]

:Jazz transforms into a silver [[wikipedia:Pontiac_Solstice|Pontiac Solstice]] Custom Hardtop. Included is a blaster weapon that elongates into a sniper rifle, which may also be clipped directly onto his rear spoiler when in vehicle mode. In robot mode, the section featuring this same rear spoiler may be kept folded onto his back or worn on either shoulder as a shield. An interesting undocumented feature is a hinge joint located on the bottom of the rifle can attach to the ''shield's'' hinge joint, creating three choice weapon configurations: ''(a)'' a mounted long range sniper rifle, ''(b)'' an ambidextrous shoulder-mounted canon, or ''(c)'' a short range blaster with built-in shield somewhat akin to what has been seen in Jazz's concept art and in the movie itself.

: As with most of the mainline toys, he features a [[Automorph]]ing gimmick that is activated by pushing the car roof down onto his back and locking it into place. This raises his head and slides his chest panels into proper position for the robot mode. This feature, like the weaponry mentioned above, is not documented at all, so one must be careful to not press the chest ''and'' the back at the same time.

{{-}}
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Legends, 2007)
[[Image:Movie_Legends_Jazz_toy.jpg|left|thumb|180px|WhY My buMPeRs hUrT?]]

: A much smaller version of the character, Legends Jazz features limited articulation and detail, along with a much simpler transformation. A rather glaring side-effect of this simplicity, in a desire to mimic the hood chest of the larger toy, is the addition of a second front bumper on the roof of his alt-mode. Whether this means Jazz also includes a second engine to go with this front bumper or an attempt at compensation for a case of [[Barricade (Movie)|police car envy]] is unknown. Ironically, the smallest version of Jazz is the biggest Legends toy in the movie line. Even bigger than Optimus. This may make up for the Arcee toy being taller than his Deluxe figure.

{{-}}

*'''Ion Blast Autobot Jazz''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
[[Image:Movie_FAB_Jazz.jpg|right|thumb|"What good am I again?"]]

: Smaller than his Deluxe toy and less articulated, ''this'' one has a missile in place of one hand. Who knew Jazz was a lefty?

{{-}}

*'''Final Battle Jazz''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-14'''
[[Image:Movie_FinalBattleJazz_toy.jpg|thumb|left|251px|Ouchies.]]

: An extensive retool of Jazz, modifying his head and most of his legs to give them a broken, battle-scarred appearance. Amusingly, because Hasbro chose to keep his vehicle mode pristine, so the rest of his body is undamaged. The damaged parts and his head have a black and blue deco, representing exposed circuitry and glowing conduits.

: Jazz comes with a brand new spring-loaded Gatling cannon weapon (called a ''Quagma Cannon'' on the packaging), modeled after the actual weapon Jazz appears with in the film. It can fire a transparent blue projectile and, like his original featured weapon, can be mounted in several configurations: ''(a)'' Mounted on his right arm with the Gatling cannon/launcher facing forward as he appears in most promotional material, and ''(b)'' mounted on his left arm with the flip-out long rifle barrel pointed forwards.

: Unusually for a regular Deluxe class figure, Jazz is packed on his card in robot mode, no doubt to highlight the changes to the figure that would not be visible in vehicle mode.

:This figure also has a minor change to the joint in the forearm. In the first version, the black joint was able to slide slightly, while it is now shorter and much more secure.

: In spite of the claim that this is a "final battle" version of Jazz, his torso does not separate easily from his legs.

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Deluxe, 2007)
[[Image:Movie_G1Jazz_toy.jpg|right|thumb|220px|"...''real'' soon."]]

: An extensive [[redeco]] of Deluxe class Jazz, this Target-[[exclusive]] has a color and paint deco based heavily upon ''Generation 1'' [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz's]] Martini Racing scheme, though he is lacking in Martini sponsorship for obvious reasons, replacing them with his own name. Disco Jazz doesn't need to advertise really, but he does.

:This version features the same forearm joint change first seen on Final Battle Jazz.

*'''Allspark Legends''' (Multi-pack, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_Allspark_Legends_pack.jpg|thumb|left|120px|"Why's the man always putting me down?"]]

: A Toys R Us exclusive, this six-pack of Legends class figures contains unmodified toys of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], Jazz, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

==Trivia==
[[Image:Movie_Jazz_armswordconcept.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Cool melee weapon in the game, ''totally'' non-existent in the movie.]]

* The packaging text for the Deluxe Jazz figure refers to his weapon as a "telescoping sword". As ridiculous as this sounds considering this weapon ''looks'' like a firearm and can attach to his spoiler in vehicle mode as such, this very idea actually comes from concept drawings (see image on left) of a sword weapon featured on the same concept art that also had Jazz showcasing the short range blaster/shield thingy both featured in the film and included with his Final Battle retool. So, ''really''... not that ridiculous anymore.

Ironhide (Movie)

82.34.51.74: /* ''Transformers'' (2007) movie */

{{disambig3|Ironhide}}

:''Ironhide is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]], also sometimes known as the "Tooth Fairy".''

[[Image:Movie_Ironhide_promorender2.jpg|right|thumb|350px|A different kind of tooth fairy. He knocks them out for the one in the frily dress to collect.]]

'''Ironhide''' is the Autobot's resident weapons specialist and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime's]] old friend. He is old because he is ''hard''. He's probably had enough replacement parts to build a small army, but Ironhide doggedly refuses to roll over and die for anyone. He'll fight to the bitter end and take down more than his fair share of [[Decepticon]]s in the process.

Ironhide doesn't always see optic to optic with Prime, despite their friendship. He's perhaps the more practical of the two, and more than a little trigger happy, so he can be more willing to push to Autobot code to the limit if he thinks it will get the job done faster.

He has more guns than [[Carbombya|a smaller third-world country]].

{{spoiler}}

[[Image:Movie_Ironhide_whyarewefighting.jpg|left|thumb|250px|For once, I need a reason to fight.]]

Responding to [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee's]] call for assistance, Ironhide and the other Autobots under Optimus Prime's direct command came to Earth, with the old soldier landing in a suburban pool. As he climbed out of the water, a little human girl asked him if he was the tooth fairy before he quickly hid behind some trees when the child's parents exited the house. He scanned their GMC Topkick truck and transformed, leaving the residence. He linked up with [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], and they proceeded to the rendezvous point, where they met up with Optimus and Bumblebee. After meeting [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Mikaela Banes]], Ironhide displayed an eagerness to show off his [[weapon|cannons]].

[[Image:Movie_Ironhide_shootground.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Ironhide is a real showoff.]]

Going to the Witwicky residence, Ironhide was urinated upon by [[Mojo|a rodent]]. This unpleasant situation was made worse by [[Sam Witwicky]]'s refusal to let him shoot it. He also suggested shooting [[Judy Witwicky|the parents]], as they were interfering with Sam's search for [[Captain Witwicky]]'s [[glasses]]. Optimus reminded him that they don't hurt humans and scolded his weapons expert, to which Ironhide responded that he merely thought it should remain an option.

After Sam, Mikaela and his parents were captured by [[Sector Seven]], Ironhide and the other Autobots totally outclassed the S7 agents by instantly disarming them of their weapons, then rescuing the boy and his girl. Unfortunately, their escape was to be short-lived, as [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] was captured by the mysterious agents after saving Sam and Mikaela's lives. The next morning, when Optimus Prime was pondering their next move, Ironhide asked why they had to save the humans, prompting Prime to go into one of his long speeches about freedom and sacrifice, concluding that the humans need not pay for the mistakes of Cybertron-kind, and if need be, he would destroy the All Spark by fusing it with his own spark. Inspired by his words, Ironhide debated no further, and the Autobots set out for the location of the All Spark, [[Hoover Dam]]. Halfway there, to their surprise, they saw Bumblebee leading a column of Sector Seven assault vehicles, so Ironhide and the rest of the Autobots joined the unit.

[[Image:MovieIronhidetrailer.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Shouldn't have eaten those beans.]]

During the final battle at [[Mission City]], Ironhide realized that the F-22 Raptor that appeared to be providing [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox's]] troops with air cover was in fact [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. With Bumblebee's help, he lifted a discarded truck full of ''Furby'' toys to protect the humans against Starscream's missiles. Soon afterwards, [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] attacked, forcing Ironhide to do several somersaults to avoid the Decepticon's missiles, thus totally scaring the crap out of a lady sitting in the middle of the street.

Ironhide and Ratchet took it upon themselves to protect Sam from Starscream and [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] as he made his way to a rooftop where he could pass the [[All Spark]] to a military helicopter. Unfortunately, Starscream blocked off Sam's path, prompting the Autobot guardians to engage the more powerful Decepticon immediately. After being knocked down, Ironhide implored Sam to keep running.

After the destruction of Megatron and the All Spark, Ironhide somberly cradled the body of the fallen [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] while Ratchet informed Optimus Prime that there was nothing they could do. Ironhide then gave Captain Lennox a ride home and spent the remainder of the day observing Sam and Mikaela making out on the hood of Bumblebee's vehicle mode.

Brief aside with Optimus Prime reveals Ironhide's actions may have resulted in the destruction of [[Cyber Five|a small planet]] at one point. Ironhide maintains that it was going to blow up anyway. Strangely, Ironhide uses only his right cannon. But when fighting Ironhide, he uses both. Ironhide is such a gun nut that he even uses it in his melee attacks.

[[Image:Movie_Voyager_Ironhide_toy.jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[Guiltar]] called, he wants his weapon back.]]

:Ironhide transforms into a modified black 2006 [[wikipedia:GMC_Topkick|GMC Topkick]] 4500 four-wheel drive pickup truck. The two exhaust smokestacks behind the rear cabin have been shortened from the real scaled length and the prototype due to [[For safety reasons|safety]] and durability reasons, but otherwise the vehicle mode is very accurate to the real prop truck... well, aside from the fact that Ironhide's massive missile launchers are quite visible underneath the vehicle.

:Ironhide features an [[Automorph]] gimmick in his legs during transformation: As the user swings down his feet, all of the panels that make up his legs automatically shift and fold into place. This gimmick does not affect Ironhide's articulation. Confusingly, the instructions omit the exact positioning of the roof panels and rear window on his back.

:In robot mode, Ironhide is quite accurate to his CGI design, though obviously simplified for toy practicality. Contrary to appearances, he features full standard up-down and lateral shoulder articulation, as well as articulation in his elbows, hips and knees. His arm-mounted cannons are inactive while mounted on both arms. However, detaching the left arm cannon and combining it with the right arm creates a '''huge''' functional missile launcher that is almost as big as Ironhide himself. The missile-launching mechanism itself isn't the typical spring-loaded button design, instead relying on a pressure-launch system to fire the missiles from the four barrels.

Sadly, installing a grumpy trigger-happy alien robot and deadly high-tech weaponry into the works is not part of the included modifications.

* In the initial draft of the movie, Ironhide was not present among the Autobot cast. However, he replaced female Autobot [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] in later drafts and the subsequent final script.

82.34.51.74: /* ''Transformers'' (2007 movie) */

{{disambig3|Megatron}}

:''Megatron is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]]. He is often refered to as Lord Megatron. Known to humans as both "The Ice Man" and "The Mega-Man" and more formally as [[N.B.E.]] - 01''

[[Image:Megatronmovie.jpg |thumb|right|300px|Super Fighting Robot...MEGA-MAN!]]

The brother of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] as well as former [[Lord High Protector]] and co-ruler of [[Cybertron]], '''Megatron''' is vicious and extremely powerful, single-minded in his goals, straight forward and brutally direct in his attempts to seize those goals. He is all "blunt force" in contrast to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] penchant for deceit and trickery. On the downside, Megatron tends to become so obsessed with the object of his desires that he can ignore "secondary" matters and glaring flaws in his plans (otherwise, he likely wouldn't have melted into ice-cold arctic water after being white hot from re-entry and spent millions of years as a popsicle).

While [[Megatron (disambiguation)|some]] merely dislike or disregard organics, Megatron feels a violent hatred towards them and seems to view them as only slightly above a virus, with him as the cure. This may be due to having spent decades as their prisoner, but his hatred is still very extreme. If there was no [[All Spark]], it is not that big a stretch to think he'd have come here anyway, just to cleanse one more planet of its infection.

==Fiction==

[[Image:MovieMegatron_Bumblebee_torture_comic.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Better get some ice on that.]]

Megatron once ruled Cybertron side-by-side with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. For generations, the two ruled in peace. Megatron was firm, but Prime was fair, creating a nice, even balance. Sadly, he got a jonesing for the All Spark and the war started. Megatron formed an army of separatists, the Decepticons, while Prime formed his own army, the Autobots. Megatron's forces, while less noble, were more ferocious warriors. Prime eventually made the decision to launch the All Spark into deep space. When [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] stalled him long enough for it to be launched into space, he tore off Bumblebee's arm and crushed his voice box, then took off into space after the All Spark.

===UK ''Transformers Comic''===

The All Spark had not been blindly launched into space, however - its trajectory was leading it directly towards the [[Alkaris Anomaly]], a wormhole that could potentially transport the cube to any one of an infinite number of locations in the universe. Megatron was fully capable of catching up to the cube before it would enter the wormhole, but as he passed Cybertron's moon, he found himself ensared by an Autobot tractor beam of remarkable strength that pulled him down to the moon's surface. Enraged by the ignominity of it all, Megatron turned his weapons on the Autobots responsible, but quickly calmed down enough to realise that this was only playing into their hands, and instead ordered [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] to take his place the in the battle. Megatron swooped back into space, hot on the All Spark's heels, but was unable to stop the cube from falling through the anomaly. Determined to have the All Spark's power, Megatron chose to enter the wormhole himself, only to be spat out in some far-off star system, with no trace of the All Spark. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|Prelude: Megatron}}

Megatron eventually succeeded in tracking the All Spark to [[Earth]], where he successfully crash-landed in the Arctic Circle and was frozen solid for thousands of years. In 1897, some 100 Earth-years before the arrival of the other Transformers, he was discovered by an explorer named [[Archibald Amundsen Witwicky]]. Captain Witwicky accidentally activated Megatron's navigation system and caused the coordinates of the All Spark to be etched onto the explorer's glasses. Megatron remained imprisoned in the Arctic, until the 1930s, when he was dug out by the United States government and moved to a secret [[Sector Seven]] stronghold inside [[Hoover Dam]].

In the present day, having searched the galaxy for the All Spark and being drawn to Earth, the remaining Decepticons learn of Witwicky's glasses. Through the Internet, they determined the location of both Megatron and the All Spark inside Hoover Dam. [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] infiltrated the dam and shut down the power systems, while Starscream attacked the external powerlines, resulting in Megatron's thawing out. Once again online, Megatron declared his name (to clear up all that N.B.E.-01/Ice Man nonsense) before jetting off after the All Spark again. He met up with Starscream on the outside, and berated him for his failure to secure the All Spark.

[[Image:Movie_Megatron_breakout.jpg‎|thumb|left|250px|Mace isn't for spraying, it's for hitting.]]

Upon arriving in [[Mission City]], Megatron caused panic in the Autobot ranks forcing even them to call for a temporary retreat. He blasted [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] away when the diminutive Autobot attempted to attack, then threw him into the air before crushing him on top of a tower with his clawed talons. Jazz vainly fought on, doing little damage to Megatron before the Decepticon leader killed the Autobot by tearing him in half.

As [[Samuel James Witwicky|the human boy]] ran off with the All Spark, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to attack. Devastator attacked the armed insects, while Starscream and [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] fought [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] for the All Spark. At that moment, Optimus Prime appeared and challenged Megatron. Millennia in the ice had done nothing to lessen the animosity Megatron felt for his brother, however. Barely managing to growl out Prime's name, he transformed and flew at Prime at full speed. The Autobot leader leapt and grabbed a hold of Megatron, who slammed him into a building before flying right through a skyscraper. Both leaders landed in the middle of an intersection, but Megatron was the first to recover and leapt upon his brother, snarling that the humans were undeserving of life. Optimus Prime replied that they had the right to choose for themselves before he threw his brother off. Megatron declared that if Prime wished to defend them, he should die with them, forming his Fusion Cannon. Before he could fire, the Autobot leader drew his ion blaster and fired, hitting Megatron. The Decepticon leader shrugged off this attack, spun around from the momentum and fired his cannon, throwing Optimus Prime into the side of a building.

[[Image:Movie_Megatron_jetmode_cityfight.jpg‎|thumb|right|250px|''Really'' bad case of gas.]]

Megatron persued the young human who had removed the All Spark from Hoover Dam, destroying everything that stood in his way. The boy ran to a dilapidated building that was the designated coordinates for a human military evacuation team, and Megatron smashed his way through, yelling that he could smell the human maggot. Following him to the roof, Megatron offered that if the human gave him the All Spark, the boy may live as his pet. The Decepticon leader relished the human's defiant refusal and destroyed the ledge the human was standing upon, sending the boy tumbling to the ground.

[[Image:Movie_Megatron_maceattack.jpg‎|thumb|left|200px|This would have been ''so'' much cooler if it had been a chain mine.]]

Unfortunately, the human was caught by Optimus Prime, who then tried to escape down the side of the building before Megatron tackled him and sent all three slamming into the pavement. As a nearby human bystander attempted to run, the Decepticon expressed his disgust at the insect's proximity and flicked it away. Protecting the young boy, Prime declared that their war would end here and it was now just between the two brothers. Though lusting for the All Spark, Megatron decided to indulge his brother's obvious death wish, declared that Prime's defense of the "weak" was the real reason he would lose. Despite Optimus Prime's best efforts, Megatron was the stronger warrior, pounding the Autobot leader with devastating blow after devastating blow until he collapsed. The Decepticon leader turned his attention back to the human boy, but was suddenly attacked by the human fighter jets and [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]]'s ground soldiers firing sabot rounds. His armour a damaged, shattered mess, Megatron ignored the punishment and focused on the human boy. As Optimus Prime ordered the boy to place the All Spark into his chest, the human instead pushed it into the now-exposed [[spark]] in Megatron's chest overloading him with energy and extinguishing the Decepticon's life force. Optimus Prime stood over Megatron's lifeless shell, watching the light flicker out of his brother's [[optics]], he remarked somberly, yet remorsefully, that Megatron had left him no choice, and removed a shard of the All Spark from his brother's spark cavity.

Megatron's body was dumped into the ocean at its deepest point, along with the remains of the other Decepticons.

===Transformers (2007)===
*'''Megatron''' (Leader, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-07'''

[[Image:Movie_Leader_Megatron_toy.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Just what the f*** do I turn into?]]

: Leader class ''Movie'' Megatron transforms into a silver Cybertronic assault jet. He is quite accurate to the CGI design... except for the giant mass of legs attempting (but failing) to hide under the wings.

: In robot mode, Megatron's sculpt is quite accurate, or as accurate as a toy based on his CG design can be. However, his paint decoration is quite inaccurate, with blue highlights on various parts of his body, possibly to allude to his pre-frozen state and to give a relatively monochromatic figure more color. More confusing is his jet black face, which obscures the sculpt's details and is inaccurate to the movie appearance's gunmetal.

: Megatron's right fist disconnects at the wrist to become the spiked end of the extendable "chain whip" weapon concealed within his forearm (perhaps in homage to [[Megatron (G1)|G1 Megatron]]'s own flail weapon); pressing the black switch on the arm pulls the chain taut for a whipping attack. His arms also link together at the wrists to form a "fusion cannon," with the pod on his left forearm concealing the weapon's [[Automorph]]ing twin barrels, exposed by pulling a switch. His other automorph features include his wings folding up as his vehicle nosecone is moved into place, and his feet unfolding as his knees are straightened. Finally, pressing the button on his waist activates a small friction motor, which moves various torso plates and blades on his back into place, accompanied by a metallic shrieking sound and flashing yellow lights.

:Megatron's instructions summarily fail to actually tell the reader about how his gimmicks work. The whipping-action black switch for his flail is not mentioned; they do not detail how to connect the arms for fusion cannon mode; and the fact that the cannon is on a slider, allowing it to be centre-aligned, rather than sitting off to one side, is also omitted.

: There is a significant assembly error in Megatron's right arm: The right fist is ''supposed'' to launch out of the right arm. However, the spring for the launching mechanism was left out (possibly [[for safety reasons]]). One must either find a compatible spring or steal the spring in his left arm fusion cannon, then place it in his right forearm. The right fist should now launch properly. The latter of these is preferable, as the spring in the left arm should not be there in the first place, and does not allow the barrels of the cannon to stay in place without holding the trigger button.

: There is also an error in Megatron's legs, in that his left and right hip joints have been swapped for reasons unknown. Switching them allows for a slightly smoother transformation.

:In addition to ''that'', both of Megatron's hands have a finger misassembly. Two pieces are moulded to have two fingers, while one is obviously supposed to be a thumb–however, this thumb is on the 'outside' of his hands instead of the inside. The prototype on the packaging's stock photos show the correct assembly.

: ''Geez'', Hasbro.

*'''Megatron''' (Legends, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_Legends_Megatron_toy.jpg|thumb|right|Again, what the f*** do I turn into?]]

:Legends class Megatron is the smallest mainline ''Movie'' Megatron toy, and boy does it show. Even with Megatron's relatively simple transformation sequence, the sheer simplicity of the Legends class toy means that in vehicle mode he is basically his robot mode splayed out, and again, boy is it ''obvious''. His robot mode is passably accurate, if by accurate one means he is now a hunchback with wings for legs, Dustbusters for hands, and an unchanged Alien Queen-esqe head design.

{{-}}

*'''Megatron''' (Voyager, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-14'''

:Voyager class Megatron transforms into an ice-covered version of his cybertronic jet, with transparent blue plastic forming large portions of his vehicle mode, such as parts of his wings. This ice design is carried onto his robot mode, with his legs, shoulders and chest having some kind of 'ice' plastic covering them. With a significantly different transformation sequence compared to his earlier Leader class toy, his chest frost lowers and his shoulders raise to robot mode position when you bring his lower body forward thanks to [[Automorph]] technology. He also has his fusion cannon in its entirety on his left arm. His wings feature flip-out "ice blade", and pulling on a piece in the back of his jet mode brings them forward like pincer claws.

:Something interesting to note is that his feet are entirely spring-loaded, which means his foot and the two "rear toes" on each feet automatically close up when he's not standing up. Surprisingly, this helps a lot with the posing as the feet's parts automatically position themselves for the perfect balance.

*'''Allspark Legends''' (Multi-pack, 2007)

==Merchandise==
*'''Megatron''' Burger King free toy (2007)

:A non-transformable version of Megatron, cast primarily in gray plastic. The toy's entire "gimmick" is that both rotate at the shoulder. Due to the strict [[For safety reasons|protocols]] of making a fast food premium, Megatron's sharp and deadly design was forced to be smoothed out. This had the unfortunate effect of making his sculpted details meld together and looking less like a killer robot and more like a melted clay man. The toy ''appears'' to use the earlier render head render of Megatron's, but due to the vague detail and paint job, may also not be.

:The toy also comes with a purple plastic Decepticon base and and a lenticular motion card with a surprising amount of frames of animation. These two pieces may in fact be the better part of the package.

===Battling Robots Bubble Bath===
*'''Megatron''' (2007)

[[Image:megatron_bubblebath.jpg|thumb|right|120px|"I ''hate'' merchandising."]]

:Megatron's torso attaches to the bottle of bubble bath. His elbows bend, and his arms have a punching gimmick, to allow him to battle the forces of good. Pushing a lever on either side makes the respective fist punch forward. He's removable, though not as easily held without the bottle below his waist. Like many pieces of Megatron merchandise, this "figure" uses the older head design with blue eyes. The blue eyes are also the only spot of paint on him, unlike the elaborately decoed Prime.

==Trivia==

* The prototype photographs on the back of Leader and Voyager class Megatrons' packaging show him with a completely different head based upon an earlier version of CGI design that was dropped after much negative fan reaction.

* According to The Movie Guide, Megatron is one of few Transformers capable of space travel without reverting to a Protoform. This explains how he was capable of chasing the All Spark ''immediately'' after its launch.

* Early script drafts featured Megatron consuming the [[spark]]s of his fallen foes, but this didn't make it into the final film due to time constraints. The novelisation of the movie, on the other hand, sees him chow down on Jazz in the final battle; similarly, although not outright stated in dialogue, his animalistic pouncing on the fallen bodies of various characters (including Optimus Prime, Starscream, Jazz and the [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|Decepticon Create-A-Bot]]) in the Movie Nintendo DS games, following by what appears to be rooting around in their innards, seems to suggest he's doing the same there.

* Similarly, in the ''Autobots'' version of the same DS game, it is noted that Megatron "took the spark" of his and Optimus' father. Presumably, this is a reference to both his cannibalistic practises as well as the fact that both he and Prime are in fact brothers... at least in the Cybertronian sense.

* Despite his undeniable hatred of humans, Megatron is the only Decepticon in the movie who doesn't speak [[Cybertronian languages|Cybertronian]] at any point in the film. In fact, he speaks ''fluent'' English upon reviving, depite the fact that [[Wikipedia:Modern English|Modern English]] came into existance around the Sixteenth century, when he was presumably still frozen in the ice. This could suggest that he still was somehow conscious when he was studied by Sector Seven (which he also overtly states upon awakening in the IDW comic adaptation). This would explain why his first action after thawing was declaring his name - imagine being frozen for generations being referred to as "N.B.E. 1", or even worse: "Mega-man".

* The Megatron computer generated model consisted of 2411 individual pieces, 433,949 polygons, 8924 rig nodes, and 1437 texture maps. The pieces combined gave a volume of 10,325 cubic feet.<ref>Robertson, Barbara (2007). Heavy Metal. ''Computer Graphics, 30''(7), 12-17.</ref>

* [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] from ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' has apparently stolen this Megatron's head... at least for the time being.

Primus

2007-09-02T21:36:14Z

82.34.51.74: /* Cybertron */

[[Image:PrimusG1.jpg|300px|thumb|That's MISTER God to you.]]

'''Primus''' is [[Unicron]]'s sibling, and the creator god of the [[Transformer]]s. His body is the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Each Transformer's [[spark]] is a small piece of Primus's essence, and together they form his conciousness, the [[Allspark]].

==In the beginning==

[[Image:Primusoriginal.jpg|thumb|left|"No, [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] is ''[[RIBFIR|blue]]''!"]]

Before the dawn of time, Order and Chaos existed within an extradimensional entity known as the [[One]]. He created twin astral beings to reign over the cosmos: Primus and Unicron. Their nature differed, as Primus's lifeforce (aka the Allspark) was a ''multiversal singularity''; existing across all Transformers realities at once ''(See Animated and IDW continuity sections below for possible exceptions to this.)'', whereas Unicron existed in only one dimension at a time but could travel relatively freely between them. Primus was the Lord of Light and Order, and Unicron, the Lord of Darkness and Chaos. Unicron sought to devour everything that exists and become one with [[the Void]] at the end of all things.

In combat, Primus was no match for Unicron. But Primus did manage to trap both his and Unicron's essences inside metallic planetoids. Over time, they learned to shape these prisons. Primus became the mechanical planet of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Knowing that his ancient enemy still lived, Primus created the [[13 original Transformers]] from the material of the newly created planet. To the very first of these 13, named [[Prima]], Primus bestowed the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]], containing his essence. These Transformers would, in time, grow strong in number, knowledge, and power, and be able to defeat Unicron.

==War of the balance==

The first conflict between Primus and Unicron occurred shortly after the creation of the first 13 Transformers. One of the original 13, who would ever afterwards be known as the [[Fallen]], betrayed Primus and became an acolyte of Unicron. Many of the first 13 were destroyed in this great battle before Unicron and Primus were sucked into a [[black hole]] and sealed away in a extra-dimensional limbo.

The two brothers shared a mental link. So long as Primus hid himself in slumber, so did Unicron also sleep. Their war ended, for a time, in stalemate.

[[Image:Primalscream.jpg|right|thumb|KHHHHHAAAAANNNNN!]]

Eventually, in one version of Generation 1 continuity [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], [[Jazz]], and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] found themselves transported to the center of [[Cybertron_(planet)|Cybertron]]. In a battle with [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s [[Pretender]]s, a laser blast ricocheted off Grimlock and struck the essence of the sleeping Primus, causing a multiverse-shaking Primal Scream that woke Unicron and alerted him to Primus's location.

The battle between Primus and Unicron began anew. Though Unicron would sometimes be defeated, this has always been temporary, and there is a whole multiverse of realities to consume. When Unicron is destroyed in one reality, he respawns in another, ready to eat again. Primus will always be waiting, hoping to incapacitate Unicron and preserve existence.

It has been suggested that both of them are, in fact, necessary for the multiverse to exist in stability.

==The evolution of the Primus/Unicron myth ==

The Primus/Unicron backstory has evolved and been rewritten a good number of times since it first originated in the Marvel comics. The version above is the current iteration, which has slowly solidified across a wide swath of media (beginning around the time of [[Armada]]). Before the Primus/Unicron mythos reached its present form it went through several distinct versions in the Marvel G1 comics and elsewhere.

===Unicron's story===

The first time we ever heard the Primus/Unicron backstory is in the UK comic continuity, from Unicron himself. After his destruction during the events of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', his head floated through space and crashed on the planet [[Junkion (planet)|Junk]]. There, he enslaved the inhabitants to recreate his old body from their world. When the bount- . . . um . . . "freelance peacekeeping agent" [[Death's Head]] challenged him on the astral plane, Unicron shared the story of his origin thusly:

At the dawn of the universe, when Unicron was a primal force of evil, the only one who could stand against him and his [[Dark Armies]] was Primus, Lord of the [[Light Gods]]. (Note the plural.) Primus and his fellow Light Gods stood against Unicron and his Dark Armies. Events then played out roughly as described above. ''(The role of the other Light Gods and Unicron's armies would diminish with each retelling of the story, until the current version where they are alone and have a unique origin. Only one of the other Light Gods was ever named: the [[Chronarchitect]].)''

===The Keeper's story===

The second time the story was told was in the US book by the [[Keeper]], an ancient mechanoid who guarded Primus's head at the center of Cybertron. This telling mentions that their battle was towards the end of the era of Gods and that Primus and Unicron were the last of their respective pantheons. But Primus had to defeat Unicron before he could take his place with the other gods in the "[[Omniversal Matrix]]".

===Primus's story===

The third time the story was told was by Primus when he gathered all his children together to prepare for Unicron's coming. Here we learn for the first time that Unicron predated the current universe. Unicron had destroyed the previous universe and then slept peacefully, alone with the void. But he had not been thorough enough and some bits of the "old realms" survived. They reacted and caused The Big Bang. The sentient core of this new universe recognized the threat of Unicron and so created Primus to be his counterpart and guardian of the new creation.

===DK's story===
[[Image:WarWithinPrimus.jpg|left|thumb|200px|I feel prickly...]]

The first modern retelling of their origin in the DK [[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]] (which tended to focus on the then current Dreamwave continuity) added a new twist with the "One" as a self-contained being of balanced order and chaos. He was curious and so created Unicron to explore the new-born universe for him. Then he sub-divided Unicron and created Primus out of him. As Primus achieved consciousness he realized Unicron had become corrupted and was now a force for chaos. Primus thus took on the role of champion of order and creation to balance things and protect existence from Unicron.

{{-}}

==Marvel Comics continuity==

[[Image:Emirate_prmus.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Form blazing god!]]

Unicron is first seen in the comic adaptation of ''The Transformers: The Movie''. The Marvel US comic basically left the adaptation alone as something that might or might not happen but was in the distant future (at the time) and so basically out of continuity. The Marvel UK version of the comic however seized on the Movie era and its characters as something it could focus on without worry of contradicting events in the US stories it reprinted.

Target 2006 was the first of these UK exclusive stories. It is not until the later "Legacy of Unicron" storyline however that we first hear of and see Primus.

''(Of particular note is that the story clearly intends for Primus to have died after his battle with Unicron in the US book. Unfortunately the current retcon disallows that, as Primus must live in all realities or the multiverse collapses. One must assume that Prime was wrong about Primus's status and the god was only "mostly dead", perhaps gone offline as in the Cybertron cartoon until the Last Autobot somehow revived him. Though that is only speculation, there is some evidence in the continuity itself to support Primus not having died after all. The Matrix is the life-force of Primus and it is shown to still be existing and functioning fine in the G2 Marvel Comics series that follows his supposed death.)''

== Animated continuity ==

Primus did not exist in the Generation 1 cartoon. There, Cybertron's oldest revealed status was as a factory world of the [[Quintesson]]s who invented the Transformers, and Unicron was a product of the strange sad little alien [[Primacron]].

This causes some trouble with the later retcon that Primus is a "multiversal singularity" and part of all Transformers universes, though [[Wreckers #3]] did attempt to retcon the Primus mythology into the Quintesson-creation backstory of the original cartoon.

==Beast Era==

===''Beast Wars''/''Beast Machines''===

Primus's name was often invoked in prayer or in righteous anger by the Beast Warriors.

The [[Covenant of Primus]], a prophetical set of data tracks, were on board both the [[Ark]] and the [[Nemesis]] when they crashed 4 million years ago on prehistoric Earth. [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] himself took his name from these tracks (as did, presumably, the original [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]), and the scriptures foretold the events which completed the [[Beast Wars]].

After the Beast Wars, Megatron intended to incorporate Primus's essence, the [[Allspark (dimension)|Allspark]], into his own being and become godlike by stealing every [[Spark]] of every Transformer on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Ultimately, this was merely one step of the [[Oracle]]'s plan to reformat Cybertron into a [[technorganic]] paradise. After Megatron and Optimus Primal were plunged into the planet's core, the planet was reborn and the abducted Sparks were returned to new technorganic bodies.

====''Tales of the Beast Wars'' comics====

Back at the dawn of the Universe, before he put into effect his grand plan, Primus did a test run to make sure it would work. He transformed a small moon into a planet and there created twelve transforming, robotic beings based on the Zodiac of future Earth. (He was a forward thinking God and had the [[Chronarchitect]] on his side.) The [[Covenant]] of Primus as they were called, were given the duty of watching over their younger cousins the Transformers, ensuring that Primus's plan followed its intended path, and preparing for the [[Omega Point]], a prophesied final battle with Unicron in which they were to take part.

===''Universe''===

[[Image:TFUPrimus.jpg|left|thumbnail|[[Alpha Trion|Alpha]], Rita's escaped! Recruit a team of teenagers with attitude!]]
When [[Unicron]] began gathering Transformers from the multiverse, forcing them to fight, and harvesting the [[Spark]]s of the losers, this presented a huge threat to Primus and the [[Allspark]]. Transformers' Sparks are pieces of Primus's essence, so each devoured soul weakened him.

Primus and [[Alpha Trion]] called back from the Allspark the now-legendary Maximal ship commander and [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s savior, [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]], to rescue the possessed, battling captives from the Pit of Unicron -- and to lead a team of multiversal warriors to put a stop to his soul-stealing scheme before it could cause the Allspark to collapse.

Primus allowed Optimus Primal to choose any Transformer who ever existed -- living or dead -- for his army. This required considerable amounts of Primus's power, so Primal was told to choose sparingly. Primal chose his departed former troops [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] and [[Depth Charge]].

{{-}}

==Unicron Trilogy==

===Energon===
'''Voice actor:''' ''[[Ron Halder]] (US), [[Tesshō Genda]] (Japan)''
[[Image:Primus_eng.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Primus mistakes Kicker for a Japanese schoolgirl.]]

The creation God of the Transformers made his character debut in the Unicron Trilogy during the ''Energon'' series. Although Primus was very vague and kept mysterious in the Energon series, his purpose would be further explored in the ''Cybertron'' series.

Primus is the living core of Cybertron and the creator of all Transformers, as well as the originator of the precious and ancient fuel, Energon. After the first era, stories of Unicron, Primus, and [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]] were regarded as myth and legend, until after the Unicron Battles of 2010. With Cybertron left in a disastrous state, it would require large amounts of Energon to repair it fully. Involved in this task was the Earth Federated Government, operating secretly with the Cybertronians. A child of one of the Earth scientists, [[Kicker Jones]], would be the one to awaken the ancient God, Primus, within Cybertron's core, while fleeing Optimus Prime in fear.

Primus's first act was to empower this child with the gift of finding energon throughout the universe. Primus would also create the sparks of combination which would allow his Autobots to double in strength by having one Autobot link to another, diverting his energy supply into his partner's weapons and processing systems through a system of Powerlinking top to bottom, much like Optimus and Jetfire's combination from Transformers Armada.

Primus would go on to advise Optimus Prime on his actions in order to prepare for the future, including the Terrorcon invasion, the return of Megatron, and the next battle with Unicron. Although vague at times, Primus often offered enough information in order for his children to avoid destruction in battle. Primus was often very weak due to the damage done to the planet's surface, and spent most of his time in a mode of stasis to preserve his energy and keep Cybertron's energy grid online.

Primus would continue to advise his creations until Unicron, being controlled by Megatron, would once again menace Cybertron and the other planets in the Planet Q system. Most of the Autobot army were critically wounded, prompting the sleeping Primus to awaken and fuse their armor. Unicron was eventually defeated, but Megatron survived. After Megatron used the hidden super energon pool to upgrade himself into Galvatron, all seemed nearly lost until Galvatron was once again possessed by Unicron. In the final battle, Primus awoke to carry the super energon through space and collide it with Unicron's spark, creating a newborn sun, ending the Energon story. Unfortunately, this would not last, as the sun would soon collapse, leading to the black hole that threatens the universe in the Transformers Cybertron series.

It is unknown if the act of creating the sun in the ''Energon'' series completely exhausted Primus, as the fiction connecting the stories remains vague. The club comic seems to portray the idea that Primus continued to exist, but was offlined by Nemesis Prime's attack. Although this is a plausible idea, the structure of Primus and Cybertron, having an Alpha Trion and Vector Sigma is based on Generation One, and was not present in the previous ''Energon'' animated series.

:''('''Note:''' Early ''Super-Link'' [http://web.archive.org/web/20041207164548/www.tfpulp.com/archive/energonprod/energonprod.html pre-production notes] go into the specifics of Primus's creation. Although it is not particularly in-line with the Western multiversal origin of the character involving the [[One]], they present Primus as an entity consisting purely of energon. Energon, the notes state, is the product of the "genetic material" of the sun interacting with planetary bodies - this, then, appears to be a very literal interpretation of Primus's role as a "light god," presenting him as an actual product of the light of the sun.)''

===Cybertron===
'''Voice actor:''' ''[[Michael Donovan]] (US), [[Tesshō Genda]] (Japan)''

[[Image:Map-Primus.jpg|left|thumbnail|300px|If Unicron is Galactus, does that mean that Primus is Ego, The Living Planet?]]

Primus's plot to bury [[Unicron]]'s essence in the center of a newborn star failed. The star collapsed into a black hole which threatened not only [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and the universe, but the multiverse as well. Only four [[Cyber Planet Key]]s, hidden on planets throughout the galaxy, combined with the [[Omega Lock]], could awaken Primus and allow him to destroy the black hole.

After Megatron is seemingly defeated, the Autobots bring the Omega Lock along with the Cyber Planet Keys from [[Velocitron]] the [[Jungle Planet]] and [[Earth]] to the restoration chamber. Upon inserting the three keys into the Omega Lock, the room shakes and the Omega Lock is pushed from its recepticle into the ceiling, causing a chain reaction that makes it look as though the planet itself is falling apart. As the Autobots evacuated, they began to realize what was occurring - Cybertron was transforming.

[[Image:Primus Cybertrony.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Oh so prickly...]]

As the [[Scale|massive continental plates]] of Cybertron split and shifted, exposing an arsenal of weapons, as well as recognizably humanoid robotic appendages, [[Vector Prime]] intoned an almost-religious verse: ''"He who charted the universe when it was young. He who battled Unicron at the beginning of Time. He who created the Matrix of Leadership. He who brought life to Cybertron, Velocitron and all the other Transformer worlds in the cosmos. Yes, there can be no other. This, is Primus."'' {{Storylink|Cybertron (Cybertron episode)|Cybertron}}

Primus communicates directly through the [[Mini-Con]] [[Jolt (Cybertron)|Jolt]], telling the Autobots that the black hole is no ordinary singularity. Primus gives the assembled an image of two forces, one good, one evil, that have been in existence for all time, but the evil force has vanished. Primus says that the destruction of Unicron left the balance of good and evil severely ''un''balanced, whch distorted space and time, and formed the black hole. Vector Prime explains to the kids that Unicron and Primus are balancing forces, and one cannot exist without the other, which [[Coby Hansen|Coby]] illustrates to [[Bud Hansen|Bud]] with a coin.

Primus says that only he can close the black hole, but his [[spark]] must be fully restored first, by obtaining all four Cyber Planet Keys and putting them in the Omega Lock.... but the Autobots only have three Keys so far.

[[Image:Starscream_Vs_Primus.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Mother...]]

After Primus reveals the location of the fourth Planet Key, an Allspark-fueled [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] attacks Primus, intent on retrieving the Omega Lock. Primus manages to defend himself and easily defeat Starscream. {{Storylink|Balance}}

====Fun Publications ''Cybertron'' comic====

During the events of Transformers: Cybertron, the black hole created by Unicron's passing posed unique problems. Primus and Unicron -- representing Order and Chaos, respectively -- together forged a delicate balance in the multiverse. With one or the other missing, the balance would be upset, spiraling all that exists into an unknown doom.

In addition, the black hole was positioned very close to Cybertron itself, making Primus, despite Unicron's apparent demise, the most vulnerable he had ever been. Cybertron was the linchpin, the astral center of the entire multiverse, itself another singularity. Unicron's heralds [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]] and [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)|Nemesis Prime]] arrived on Cybertron to unleash the [[Dead Matrix]] on Primus's essence. For the first time ever, Unicron, who is normally limited to threatening Primus one reality at a time, would be able to weaken Primus across all timelines -- and the black hole's proximity would end their cosmic feud forever.

{{-}}

== IDW Continuity ==
[[Simon Furman]] has also stated that he may specifically exclude Primus and Unicron from the IDW comic universe as well, which might be seen as retconning out the previous retcon and rendering Primus as being once again a feature of only "some" Transformer continuities. Without a fairly direct in-story description of Cybertron's origins, however, it is impossible to say whether Primus is in fact absent in this universe, or merely not up to anything.

:Cybertron Primus is the first toy representation of Transformers' Creator as their home planet of Cybertron. In planet mode, he is considerably more detailed than [[Unicron]] from the ''Armada'' line, with visible cities, including [[Iacon]] based upon its appearance in the DK Books ''Transformers Ultimate Guide'', and Kaon as seen in [[The War Within]]. On the 'bottom' of the planet mode there are four hard rubber legs, molded to be shaped like towers, allowing Primus to be displayed in planet mode, yet not require a flat base as Unicron did.

:Primus's transformation is unusual, in many ways similar to a [[Powermaster]], in that he requires the owner to insert his accompanying Omega Lock accessory into several special ports around the planet, then manipulate them to unlock his parts and transform him. When the Omega Lock is initially inserted and pushed, a transforming sound is heard. When it is inserted into his chest and pushed up to reveal his head, his eyes glow red and a laser-type sound effect is heard.

:In robot mode, Primus resembles both the [[Beast Wars Neo]] Unicron prototype as well as [[Don Figueroa]]'s Primus concept. He is bristling with weaponry, including two shoulder-mounted cannons that can fire missiles, two forearm blasters that raise and extend when a Cyber Planet Key is inserted, and several banks of gattling cannons, lasers and missile launchers in his shins and legs revealed by the Omega Lock.

:Primus also has a third mode, an intergalacticic world-ship. It is basically done by half-way transforming the figure, leaving the head down and the legs backward.

:Primus comes with two accessories, the aformentioned battery-operated Omega Lock that lights up red when inserted into any of the four Omega Lock ports, and a special silver Cybertron-Planet Cyber Planet Key. Any four Cyber Planet Keys can be inserted into the four key slots at the base of the Omega Lock, though doing this does not activate any feature. There are also nine Mini-Con dead [[powerlinx]] ports on the Primus figure, including two on the claws on his legs. Attaching Mini-Cons to these also do not activate any features.

:In North America, limited early-run versions of Cybertron Primus came packaged with a "battle damaged" Unicron head based upon his Armada appearance. It is still available on the Hasbro website as of March 29, 2007.

:A later version, exclusive to Wal-Mart as a [[Black Friday]] 2006 special, included four Mini-Cons; [[Strongarm (Cybertron)|Strongarm]], [[Knockdown (Cybertron)|Knockdown]], [[Nightscream (Cybertron)|Nightscream]], and [[Offshoot (Cybertron)|Offshoot]].

Mudflap (Cybertron)

'''Mudflap''' has anger issues. A former [[Autobot]] and friend to [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]], being forced to remain hidden on [[Earth]] after the evacuation of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cyberton]] was frustrating for this former famous boxing champion. So frustrating that when he was approached by the Decepticons, he signed up! Only time will tell if Mudflap's heart is really with the Decepticon cause.

To human ears, Mudflap speaks with a French-Canadian accent. Aside from his pugilistic skills, he's an expert in swinging his massive crane-blade, incorporating it into his free-flying limbs fighting technique.

: Mudflap transforms into a blue crane truck. The toy has a spring-loaded missile launcher that folds out of the crane truck's cab, activated by a [[Cyber Planet Key]], and a ridiculously colossal energon blade that folds out of the crane with a Key as well. When fully extended, the blade and crane are about three times the height of his body. He comes with a silver-bordered [[Earth]]-style Cyber Planet Key; the [[Hasbro]] release has the [[Key Code]] "'''v6t7'''" stamped on the back. There are also a myriad of small [[paint application]] differences between the Hasbro and [[Takara]] releases of the toy.

: A special version of Mudflap was released as a Target stores [[exclusive]], with a pair of free [[Mini-Con]]s attached to the box. Mudflap came with the Mini-Cons [[Tankor (Cybertron)|Tankor]] and [[Shockwave (Cybertron)|Shockwave]].

: This mold was going to be [[redeco]]ed to make [[Landslide (Decepticon)|Landslide]], but was ultimately canceled (for reasons stated below).

==Trivia==
* Mudflap was the quintessential [[shelfwarmer]] of the ''Cybertron'' toy line. For whatever reason, he simply did not sell, and eventually ended up at heavy discount in most chains.

* Mudflap's transformation was used as the basis for the non-toy character [[Signal Lancer]]'s transformation.

* In late October 2005, searching for "[[Evac]]" in Amazon.com's toy section returned a bizarre statement to the effect that customers searching for "epic" tended to eventually buy Mudflap. Oddly, this result did not appear if you ''actually'' searched for "epic."

Scorponok (BW)

2007-08-26T16:00:54Z

82.34.51.74: /* ''Beast Wars'' */

{{disambig3|Scorponok}}
:''Scorponok is a [[Predacon]] from the [[Beast Wars]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.''

[[Image:Scorponokbwpostcard.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Transforms into a scorpion. Surprise?]]

'''Scorponok'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s personality seems to have two main features: he's dumb and he's loyal to [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] (surprisingly so, considering Megatron's [[Terrorsaur (BW)|other]] [[Tarantulas|crew]] [[Blackarachnia|members]]), and among those two features only the loyalty seems to be consistent. He tries to serve Megatron to the best of his abilities, but when [[Waspinator]] is able to outwit you there's only so much you have to offer.

Scorponok was Megatron's [[Sub-Commander|second-in-command]] on the ''[[Darksyde]]'', though he is insecure about the title and constantly tries to assert himself among the other Predacons who, aware of his shortcomings, generally dismiss or ignore him.

Scorponok's only other real contribution to Megatron's cause is in developing cyber-viruses that he delivers with his cyberbee drone. (Impressive actually, given his otherwise limited mentality.) Generally these don't work out as he hoped however, and so they've done little to increase his standing in the eyes of the other Predacons.

:''Italian name'': '''Scorpionok'''<br>

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
====''Timelines: Dawn of Future's Past''====
[[Image:Scorponokbwdawn.jpg|left|thumb|140px|Looking at him, he was probably called Scorponok before the Beast Wars, too.]]

The Predacon that would be called Scorponok, his commander [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], and his commander's [[Dinobot (BW)|lieutenant]] stole the sacred [[Maximal]] relic, the [[Golden Disk]]. After fighting their way through the relic's guards, the thieves were picked up by their other comrades in a stolen ship, newly-christened the ''[[Darksyde]]''.

Soon after leaving Cybertron, the ''Darksyde'' was in involved in a space battle with the Maximal science vessle; ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' and the ''[[Chromia 10]]'', and an unidentified Predacon ship. At its conclusion, only the ''Axalon'' and the ''Darksyde'' survived and both ships passed through a [[transwarp]] portal to an unknown destination. {{storylink|Dawn of Future's Past}}

[[Image:BW_Scorponok_BW1.jpg|thumb|right|300px|I'm not dumb! I'll prove it by taking on [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] all by myself.]]

Crash-landing on an unknown planet, Scorponok and his peers were forced to take on organic beast modes to shield themselves from the planet's dangerous levels of raw [[energon]]. Scorponok now transformed into an organic scorpion. When Dinobot furiously berated Megatron for foolishingly marooning them on the wrong planet and attempted to attack his leader, Scorponok stood behind Megatron and waited for his cue to fire on Dinobot, sending the traitor far into the distance. Later, Scorponok participated in the first battle between the Maximal and Predacon faction, and managed to trap Cheetor's leg under a boulder. However, the Predacons soon succumbed to energon overload. {{Storylink|Beast Wars, Part 1}}

After recovering in beast mode, Scorponok and the lower-ranking Predacons were wagering who would win the battle between [[Optimus Primal]] and Dinobot until Megatron ordered them to fire on the unwitting combatants. After their shots failed to destroy the Maximals, but did reveal a massive energon cache buried inside a mountain, the Predacons moved out, followed by the Maximals where Scorponok fought Dinobot. {{Storylink|Beast Wars, Part 2}}

Later, Megatron tasked Scorponok with a mission to create a virus for his cyberbee that would turn Optimus Primal into a coward. Ambushing the Maximal leader and Dinobot as they were on a botanical study near a waterfall, Scorponok managed to have his cyberbee latch onto Optimus when he attempted to help the traitor. Unfortunately, Optimus Primal fired off a shot before going down, dislodging the log Scorponok was sitting upon and sending him over the edge of the waterfall. To greater misfortune, Scorponok had botched the virus, turning Optimus Primal not into a coward, but a fearless, ultra-aggressive beserker. Both Scorponok and Megatron were blown up with the Cyberbee when Primal rips it off and chucks it at Megatron's back. {{Storylink|Gorilla Warfare}}

[[Image:BW_Scorponok_Terrorsaur_deaths.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Oh, the... robotity?]]

Scorponok laughed along with his fellow Predacons, then congratulated Megatron after learning of Optimus Primal's destruction, but was pushed away by his leader. Scorponok died along with [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] when the two, affected by the transwarp wave that turned Megatron into [[Transmetal]] crashed their hover platforms into each other and tumbled into the lava beneath the Predacon base during the explosion of the [[Vok]]'s artificial moon. No one much noticed. {{Storylink|Aftermath}}

==Toys==
===Beast Wars===
* '''Scorponok''' (Mega, 1996)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-2'''

:Scorponok transforms into a fairly organic but highly inaccurate black scorpion. The right pincer contains a small spring-loaded bee drone type gimmick which could be launched, while his left pincer has a firing missile launcher. He also features exactly the same transformation as pretty much every Scorponok toy ever, transforming into a robot with his pincers serving as his arms and his tail hiding behind him. Owing to his high usage of ball joints, he has a high range of articulation

:The japanese release of Scorponok has a slightly more 'show-accurate' paint scheme.

* '''Scorponok''' (Transmetal, Happy Meal, 1998)

:Since Scorponok got killed off in order to introduce new prod... er, CHARACTERS, he was granted a "Transmetal" toy as a Happy Meal premium. He transforms like every other Scorponok, except his shoulders could never go lower than a few degrees from pointing up, meaning all he could do is "raise the roof". It's cast mostly in gauche magenta and "metallic" gold.

==Trivia==
[[Image:BW-MegaPromo.jpg|left|thumb|125px|Collect all the nonexistent toys!]]
[[Image:ToyFair96ScorpGriz.jpg|right|thumb|The most effective stealth ever.]]

* Scorponok was first advertised on the back of the [[Optimus Primal]] versus [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] two-pack at the start of the Beast Wars line with a completely different color scheme. The toy itself was cast completely in transparent orange and blue plastic, which would have made it remarkably fragile at the joints. Another version cast in pink translucent plastic and having the final claw coloration surfaced in 2006, although this could likely be explained by the random plastics used in test shots.

Optimus Prime (Movie)

{{disambig3|Optimus Prime}}

:''Optimus Prime is the [[Autobot]] leader from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MovieOptimusPrime_promorender2.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Freedom is the right of all sentient—oh, hell, you know the drill.]]

'''Optimus Prime''' is the leader of the Autobots. Once, long ago, he was co-ruler of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] together with his brother, Lord Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], but Megatron grew greedy and attempted to claim the [[Allspark]] for himself. Optimus rose to stand against him. As obsessively as Megatron strives to achieve his objective, Optimus is equally as dedicated to stopping him. Lives must be kept free from the threat of Megatron's tyranny, at any cost.

==Fiction==
===''Prime Directives'' prequel comics===
[[Image:Optimusprimemovieprequel.jpg|left|thumb|200px|All Primes are required to have window boobs.]]

For generations, Optimus Prime ruled [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] side-by-side with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. The two personalities created a balance; Prime was fair while Megatron was firm. However, when Megatron revealed his intentions to steal the [[Allspark]] and use it for evil, selfish gain, Prime reacted accordingly. He built a militia from the civilians around him, but they faired terribly against Megatron's armies. Ultimately, Prime was forced to eject the Allspark into space to keep it from his nemesis.

Thus the focus of the war between Autobot and Decepticon shifted. The Allspark's ejection was only a stall. No longer did Prime have to keep Megatron from stealing the Allspark, instead Prime and his Autobots must hunt down the Allspark, wherever in the universe it landed, before Megatron could. {{storylink|Prime Directives}}

:''Voice actor:'' [[Peter Cullen]] (English) [[Tesshō Genda]] (Japanese)

{{spoiler}}

[[Image:OptimusDowntown.jpg|right|thumb|300px|The newest wrestler of the Cybertronian Wrestling Federation: The Trucker.]]

The leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime came to Earth shortly after [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] sent his comrades a beacon. After scanning the form of an Earth truck and reconfiguring his body to transform into it, Prime, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] met up with Bumblebee and his human friends, [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Mikaela Banes]] in an alley. Transforming before the stunned humans, he introduced himself, his team, and why Sam is important to their search for the [[All Spark]].

Glasses that belonged to Sam's ancestor, [[Captain Archibald Witwicky]], contain the location of the All Spark encoded across its lenses, so Optimus Prime ordered his troops to wait outside Sam's house while Sam and Mikaela searched inside for the glasses. Much to Sam's exasperation, Optimus Prime, in his impatience, clumsily ruined his parents' garden, and the Autobots' heavy footsteps convinced them there was an earthquake. Despite all this, their presence remained undetected until [[Sector Seven]] arrived (in a convoy of GMC Yukon's) and abducted Sam, Mikaela, and Sam's parents.

Optimus Prime sent the Autobots in pursuit of the SUV that contained Sam, Mikaela, and Sector Seven's director, [[Agent Simmons]]. Their young human friends were rescued, but Bumblebee was captured, and Sam and Mikaela recaptured, by the organization after their retreat. Optimus Prime, now in possession of the glasses which can tell him the location of the All Spark, regrettably leaves Bumblebee in Sector Seven's hands, knowing that if they go after him, they will have to use deadly force. Ironhide seems okay with that, stating the humans are too violent, but Prime remind him of the Cybertronians [[Cybertronian Civil Wars|own violent history]]. He also reveals to the Autobots his real plan for the All Spark: if they cannot defeat the Decepticons, Prime intends to merge the Cube with his [[spark]]. Though this would destroy the All Spark, Ratchet cautions Prime against this, as it would also kill him, but Prime had made his decision. The glasses place the All Spark at [[Hoover Dam]] where, luckily, Bumblebee and the young humans were taken.

Optimus Prime's team meets up with Sector Seven, Bumblebee, Sam, and Mikaela en route, who have planned to hide the Allspark in a nearby [[Mission City]]. While on the highway, he is attacked by [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]], who manages to tackle Optimus and drag him over the edge of a freeway overpass. As the Decepticon swung his claw wildly, Optimus drew his sword from his right arm and sliced off one of Bonecrusher's arms, before brutally finishing off his enemy by driving the blade through Bonecrusher's neck, severing his head.

Optimus arrived at Mission City just in time to observe Megatron discarding the remains of [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and launch himself in jet mode at the Autobot leader. Optimus leapt and grabbed ahold of the wings, which was a bad idea really as Megatron drove himself and Prime through an office block.

After saving Sam from falling off a building, Optimus told the boy that if he could not defeat Megatron, Sam must put the All Spark into his chest which would destroy it. As Sam made his escape, Optimus faced down Megatron and informed him that at the end of the day, One shall stand, One shall fall. Unfortunately, Megatron proves to be far too powerful for Prime to defeat, he implored to Sam to put the Allspark into his chest. Sam instead thrusts it into Megatrons chest, eventually killing the Decepticon leader. As Optimus watched his brother die, he regretfully said there was little other choice.

Though Megatron and his Decepticons were defeated, the All Spark was lost, leaving the Autobots unable to restore Cybertron. The Autobots elected to remain on Earth, and Optimus Prime sent a message to any surviving Autobots in the Galaxy to come to their new home.

===Transformers (2007)===
*'''Protoform Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-05'''

[[Image:Movie_ProtoformOptimusPrime_toy.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Spaaaaaaace speeeeeerrrrm!]]

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

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

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

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-01'''

[[Image:MovieLeader_OptimusPrime_toy.jpg|right|thumb|350px| Y'think Prime got a makeover? We have it on good authority that Movie [[Roller]] is a kicked-out low-rider with a jammin' sound system and neon-purple undercarriage lighting. ]]

: The largest ''Movie'' Optimus Prime toy, Leader Class Optimus Prime features the most accurate representation yet of the CGI designs complex transformation with the only major exception being the arms, wich are supposed to form the front nose of the truck in the CGI model but are here placed right behind the cab. He transforms into a heavily-customized [http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379] conventional extended-hood truck, and unusually for a mainline figure, he has rubber tires on all his wheels. His Ion Blaster weapon is stored in the rear of the truck's bunk, exposed like an engine block. Though Optimus has no trailer, he has hole where the fifth wheel (known among fans as a 'hitch') is sculpted in the rear of the truck, should owners find a suitable trailer to use. Due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]], the tips of his long smokestacks are made of a soft, flexible material. A switch on top of the cab roof activates horn sounds and window lights.

: Featuring a complex transformation, essentially the front and back ends of the truck fold and converge to become Optimus Prime's legs, as much of the truck rear is connected to the robot thighs via a series of folding panels. The rear wheel cowlings feature a hinge joint in the middle of them so they do not impede his knee articulation. The rear cabin of the cab, directly connected to the smokestacks, rotate and connect to his torso and unfold into his arms. As with most mainline Movie toys, Optimus Prime features [[Automorph]] gimmicks, and due to his pricepoint has three of them. Firstly, during initial transformation, rotating his front fenders to become his heels flips the top parts of the grill to become his toes. Secondly, sliding out the the double-barrel cannon in his right forearm flips out his spring-loaded Ion Blaster, which lands into place for his right hand. (The Ion Blaster can actually be popped off his forearm fairly easily, held in place by a simple clip.) Optimus' final Automorph, located in his torso, is activated by flipping the silver lever on his stomach activating a series of spring-loaded actions where they push the truck windows part, raises the lever between them and allows the head to spring up from the chest cavity. At this point yellow LEDs light up the chest windows and Optimus Prime's eyes, accompanied by a 'powering up' sound effect.

: Optimus Prime has a wide range of articulation for a relatively bulky figure. He has ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips and knees, with swivel joints and ball joints supporting them in his biceps, lower knee joints and ankles. Again, unusually for a mainline figure, especially at the Leader pricepoint, his hands have individually articulated fingers and thumbs.

*'''Robo-Vision Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_Robovision_OptimusPrime_toy.jpg|thumb|left|200px|I'd hate to see what those smokestacks looked like BEFORE Hasbro shortened them.]]

: A Target-[[exclusive]] repaint of the Voyager class Optimus Prime, this limited edition version boasts a "supermetal finish", resulting in silver metallic paint covering much of his paintable gray/silver plastic, a much higher contrast in his red and blue plastic colors and improved 'flame' paint decorations.

: Unusually for the smaller Voyager-class of toys, [[Robo-Vision]] Optimus Prime comes packed in robot mode in a special hexagonal column box with many windows, similar to the original packaging for ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime. The package also includes a [[Robo-Vision Decoder]]. Strangely, this Target exclusive preceded the release of the regular Voyager by a large margin, coming out on June 2, 2007 with the initial wave of movie toys.

{{-}}

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legends, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_Legends_Prime_toy.jpg|thumb|right|Shortening the smokestacks is good, it makes the toy safer, but removing ONE and keeping the other? Crazy.]]

: Legends class Optimus Prime is an ''extremely'' simplified toy of the extremely complex movie design. As such, he features numerous unavoidable inaccuracies, such as not transforming or even looking very much like the original design or the larger toy versions in robot mode. However, proportionally Legends class Optimus Prime is not far off from the real truck and the Leader class toy's vehicle mode, aside from missing a smokestack on the driver's side. he is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via ball-joints.

{{-}}

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-13'''

:The mid-range Voyager class ''Movie'' Optimus Prime toy transforms into an amalgamation of the Kenworth W900 and the Peterbilt 379, making this toy fairly inaccurate to the actual vehicle Optimus Prime turned into. Because of the smaller size and lessened complexity, the Voyager class Optimus Prime features a significantly different transformation sequence compared to the Leader class toy, and indeed, the actual CGI design. However, as the actual truck cabin no longer forms his chest, the cabin now features an small interior with opening doors and a non-removable Peter Cullen driver figurine that flips out of the seat when the driver's side door is shut.

: In robot mode, Voyager class Optimus Prime is proportionally more accurate to his CGI design than the leader class toy and has a more accurate headsculpt, but due to the aforementioned lessened complexity significant sacrifices had to be made, such as 'cheats' to the transformation sequence, to achieve this and thus he is overall less accurate than he initially appears. In addition to previously mentioned changes, he carries much of the truck's front hood, grill and fenders on his back like a backpack. However, he maintains a superb level of articulation and posability.

: Optimus Prime is armed with two large rifles cleverly formed out of a combination of both smokestacks and fuel tanks. These rifles peg into lower arms with grips for his open hands. The under-slung fuel tanks can fire spring-loaded projectiles. In vehicle mode, both smokestack rifles can be deployed as twin cannons, and this mechanism can also be used to store the rifles and deploy them as shoulder guns in robot mode.

:A highly CG-accurate sculpt of Optimus Prime's head with a built in voice-changer. It also has several sound effects and quotes from the movie. The voice-changer has three settings, giving more accurate alteration of the user's voice (though this is still debatable; most voice changing technology is pretty crummy, at least in toys). Much like the Ultimate Bumblebee figure, this toy will hate your wallet too. While it only costs 30 bucks, if it's anything like another Hasbro voice changer, it will suck batteries up like they were [[Energon Cube|some kind of square candy holder.]]

: There are two versions of the voice changer helmet with two different pre-recorded voices. An earlier release features a voice similar to [[Garry Chalk]], while the later release features the voice of [[Peter Cullen]].

* As part of the hype buildup to the movie's release, Optimus Prime made a brief cameo at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards, interacting with host Sarah Silverman. The scene spliced Silverman into pre-existing movie footage, but featured new dialogue recorded for the event by Peter Cullen. Prime heavily hinted that he wanted to present an award, but was rejected.

{{disambig3|Optimus Prime}}

:''Optimus Prime is the [[Autobot]] leader from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MovieOptimusPrime_promorender2.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Freedom is the right of all sentient—oh, hell, you know the drill.]]

'''Optimus Prime''' is the leader of the Autobots. Once, long ago, he was co-ruler of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] together with his brother, Lord Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], but Megatron grew greedy and attempted to claim the [[Allspark]] for himself. Optimus rose to stand against him. As obsessively as Megatron strives to achieve his objective, Optimus is equally as dedicated to stopping him. Lives must be kept free from the threat of Megatron's tyranny, at any cost.

==Fiction==
===''Prime Directives'' prequel comics===
[[Image:Optimusprimemovieprequel.jpg|left|thumb|200px|All Primes are required to have window boobs.]]

For generations, Optimus Prime ruled [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] side-by-side with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. The two personalities created a balance; Prime was fair while Megatron was firm. However, when Megatron revealed his intentions to steal the [[Allspark]] and use it for evil, selfish gain, Prime reacted accordingly. He built a militia from the civilians around him, but they faired terribly against Megatron's armies. Ultimately, Prime was forced to eject the Allspark into space to keep it from his nemesis.

Thus the focus of the war between Autobot and Decepticon shifted. The Allspark's ejection was only a stall. No longer did Prime have to keep Megatron from stealing the Allspark, instead Prime and his Autobots must hunt down the Allspark, wherever in the universe it landed, before Megatron could. {{storylink|Prime Directives}}

{{spoiler}}

[[Image:OptimusDowntown.jpg|right|thumb|300px|The newest wrestler of the Cybertronian Wrestling Federation: The Trucker.]]

The leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime came to Earth shortly after [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] sent his comrades a beacon. After scanning the form of an Earth truck and reconfiguring his body to transform into it, Prime, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] met up with Bumblebee and his human friends, [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Mikaela Banes]] in an alley. Transforming before the stunned humans, he introduced himself, his team, and why Sam is important to their search for the [[All Spark]].

Glasses that belonged to Sam's ancestor, [[Captain Archibald Witwicky]], contain the location of the All Spark encoded across its lenses, so Optimus Prime ordered his troops to wait outside Sam's house while Sam and Mikaela searched inside for the glasses. Much to Sam's exasperation, Optimus Prime, in his impatience, clumsily ruined his parents' garden, and the Autobots' heavy footsteps convinced them there was an earthquake. Despite all this, their presence remained undetected until [[Sector Seven]] arrived (in a convoy of GMC Yukon's) and abducted Sam, Mikaela, and Sam's parents.

Optimus Prime sent the Autobots in pursuit of the SUV that contained Sam, Mikaela, and Sector Seven's director, [[Agent Simmons]]. Their young human friends were rescued, but Bumblebee was captured, and Sam and Mikaela recaptured, by the organization after their retreat. Optimus Prime, now in possession of the glasses which can tell him the location of the All Spark, regrettably leaves Bumblebee in Sector Seven's hands, knowing that if they go after him, they will have to use deadly force. Ironhide seems okay with that, stating the humans are too violent, but Prime remind him of the Cybertronians [[Cybertronian Civil Wars|own violent history]]. He also reveals to the Autobots his real plan for the All Spark: if they cannot defeat the Decepticons, Prime intends to merge the Cube with his [[spark]]. Though this would destroy the All Spark, Ratchet cautions Prime against this, as it would also kill him, but Prime had made his decision. The glasses place the All Spark at [[Hoover Dam]] where, luckily, Bumblebee and the young humans were taken.

Optimus Prime's team meets up with Sector Seven, Bumblebee, Sam, and Mikaela en route, who have planned to hide the Allspark in a nearby [[Mission City]]. While on the highway, he is attacked by [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]], who manages to tackle Optimus and drag him over the edge of a freeway overpass. As the Decepticon swung his claw wildly, Optimus drew his sword from his right arm and sliced off one of Bonecrusher's arms, before brutally finishing off his enemy by driving the blade through Bonecrusher's neck, severing his head.

Optimus arrived at Mission City just in time to observe Megatron discarding the remains of [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and launch himself in jet mode at the Autobot leader. Optimus leapt and grabbed ahold of the wings, which was a bad idea really as Megatron drove himself and Prime through an office block.

After saving Sam from falling off a building, Optimus told the boy that if he could not defeat Megatron, Sam must put the All Spark into his chest which would destroy it. As Sam made his escape, Optimus faced down Megatron and informed him that at the end of the day, One shall stand, One shall fall. Unfortunately, Megatron proves to be far too powerful for Prime to defeat, he implored to Sam to put the Allspark into his chest. Sam instead thrusts it into Megatrons chest, eventually killing the Decepticon leader. As Optimus watched his brother die, he regretfully said there was little other choice.

Though Megatron and his Decepticons were defeated, the All Spark was lost, leaving the Autobots unable to restore Cybertron. The Autobots elected to remain on Earth, and Optimus Prime sent a message to any surviving Autobots in the Galaxy to come to their new home.

'''Note:''' ''The comic book adaptation depicts Prime also defeating [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] during the highway altercation with Bonecrusher.''

*'''Protoform Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-05'''

[[Image:Movie_ProtoformOptimusPrime_toy.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Spaaaaaaace speeeeeerrrrm!]]

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

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

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

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-01'''

[[Image:MovieLeader_OptimusPrime_toy.jpg|right|thumb|350px| Y'think Prime got a makeover? We have it on good authority that Movie [[Roller]] is a kicked-out low-rider with a jammin' sound system and neon-purple undercarriage lighting. ]]

: The largest ''Movie'' Optimus Prime toy, Leader Class Optimus Prime features the most accurate representation yet of the CGI designs complex transformation with the only major exception being the arms, wich are supposed to form the front nose of the truck in the CGI model but are here placed right behind the cab. He transforms into a heavily-customized [http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379] conventional extended-hood truck, and unusually for a mainline figure, he has rubber tires on all his wheels. His Ion Blaster weapon is stored in the rear of the truck's bunk, exposed like an engine block. Though Optimus has no trailer, he has hole where the fifth wheel (known among fans as a 'hitch') is sculpted in the rear of the truck, should owners find a suitable trailer to use. Due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]], the tips of his long smokestacks are made of a soft, flexible material. A switch on top of the cab roof activates horn sounds and window lights.

: Featuring a complex transformation, essentially the front and back ends of the truck fold and converge to become Optimus Prime's legs, as much of the truck rear is connected to the robot thighs via a series of folding panels. The rear wheel cowlings feature a hinge joint in the middle of them so they do not impede his knee articulation. The rear cabin of the cab, directly connected to the smokestacks, rotate and connect to his torso and unfold into his arms. As with most mainline Movie toys, Optimus Prime features [[Automorph]] gimmicks, and due to his pricepoint has three of them. Firstly, during initial transformation, rotating his front fenders to become his heels flips the top parts of the grill to become his toes. Secondly, sliding out the the double-barrel cannon in his right forearm flips out his spring-loaded Ion Blaster, which lands into place for his right hand. (The Ion Blaster can actually be popped off his forearm fairly easily, held in place by a simple clip.) Optimus' final Automorph, located in his torso, is activated by flipping the silver lever on his stomach activating a series of spring-loaded actions where they push the truck windows part, raises the lever between them and allows the head to spring up from the chest cavity. At this point yellow LEDs light up the chest windows and Optimus Prime's eyes, accompanied by a 'powering up' sound effect.

: Optimus Prime has a wide range of articulation for a relatively bulky figure. He has ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips and knees, with swivel joints and ball joints supporting them in his biceps, lower knee joints and ankles. Again, unusually for a mainline figure, especially at the Leader pricepoint, his hands have individually articulated fingers and thumbs.

*'''Robo-Vision Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_Robovision_OptimusPrime_toy.jpg|thumb|left|200px|I'd hate to see what those smokestacks looked like BEFORE Hasbro shortened them.]]

: A Target-[[exclusive]] repaint of the Voyager class Optimus Prime, this limited edition version boasts a "supermetal finish", resulting in silver metallic paint covering much of his paintable gray/silver plastic, a much higher contrast in his red and blue plastic colors and improved 'flame' paint decorations.

: Unusually for the smaller Voyager-class of toys, [[Robo-Vision]] Optimus Prime comes packed in robot mode in a special hexagonal column box with many windows, similar to the original packaging for ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime. The package also includes a [[Robo-Vision Decoder]]. Strangely, this Target exclusive preceded the release of the regular Voyager by a large margin, coming out on June 2, 2007 with the initial wave of movie toys.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legends, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_Legends_Prime_toy.jpg|thumb|right|Shortening the smokestacks is good, it makes the toy safer, but removing ONE and keeping the other? Crazy.]]

: Legends class Optimus Prime is an ''extremely'' simplified toy of the extremely complex movie design. As such, he features numerous unavoidable inaccuracies, such as not transforming or even looking very much like the original design or the larger toy versions in robot mode. However, proportionally Legends class Optimus Prime is not far off from the real truck and the Leader class toy's vehicle mode, aside from missing a smokestack on the driver's side. he is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via ball-joints.

{{-}}

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-13'''

:The mid-range Voyager class ''Movie'' Optimus Prime toy transforms into an amalgamation of the Kenworth W900 and the Peterbilt 379, making this toy fairly inaccurate to the actual vehicle Optimus Prime turned into. Because of the smaller size and lessened complexity, the Voyager class Optimus Prime features a significantly different transformation sequence compared to the Leader class toy, and indeed, the actual CGI design. However, as the actual truck cabin no longer forms his chest, the cabin now features an small interior with opening doors and a non-removable Peter Cullen driver figurine that flips out of the seat when the driver's side door is shut.

: In robot mode, Voyager class Optimus Prime is proportionally more accurate to his CGI design than the leader class toy and has a more accurate headsculpt, but due to the aforementioned lessened complexity significant sacrifices had to be made, such as 'cheats' to the transformation sequence, to achieve this and thus he is overall less accurate than he initially appears. In addition to previously mentioned changes, he carries much of the truck's front hood, grill and fenders on his back like a backpack. However, he maintains a superb level of articulation and posability.

: Optimus Prime is armed with two large rifles cleverly formed out of a combination of both smokestacks and fuel tanks. These rifles peg into lower arms with grips for his open hands. The under-slung fuel tanks can fire spring-loaded projectiles. In vehicle mode, both smokestack rifles can be deployed as twin cannons, and this mechanism can also be used to store the rifles and deploy them as shoulder guns in robot mode.

:''Fortress Maximus is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Robots in Disguise]] continuity.''

[[Image:Bravemax_giant.jpg|right|thumb|350px|Friend to all children! But not a [[wikipedia:Gamera|giant turtle]].]]

'''Fortress Maximus''' is a colossal Autobot guardian hidden on [[Earth]] to protect the planet from evil. Immense in strength, unmatchable in firepower and impregnable in durability, Fortress Maximus' only weakness is his compassion for children.

Fortress Maximus does not appear to be sentient in and of himself, but rather, is controlled by [[Cerebros (RID)|Cerebros]]. Even Cerebros himself does make his own decisions, instead operating on a tri-lateral recognition program that defines the actions he will take. Cerebros on his own will only respond to an Autobot energy signature, and when combined with Fortress Maximus, will react only to the bio-energy of human beings. To prevent his power being used for evil, his recognition program operates on "harmonic resonance," which allows him to sense the intentions of those that would command him. He will not follow commands of an evil or self-serving nature; consequently, due to their worldly innocence, human children are particularly adept at controlling him.

:''Voice actor: [[Steve Kramer]] (US), [[Masayuki Kiyama]] (Japan)''

[[Image:Bravemax_head.jpg|right|thumb|200px|And I'll form the head!]]Fortress Maximus was hidden on [[Earth]] eons ago in order to protect the planet, slumberimg in stasis beneath the surface of the planet, where [[Metro City]] would come to be built. The various keys that would enable his reactivation were scattered across the globe - the [[O-Parts]], the [[Orb of Sigma]] and his [[Headmaster]] component, Cerebros - and sealed within ancient structures, suggesting that ancient human civilizations had some hand in the process. Although his existence went on to slip into the realm of legend amongst most of the populous on Cybertron, certain high-ranking Autobots and Predacons were well aware of the truth behind the story, and, in the mid-20th century, a team of six Autobots were sent to Earth to reactivate Maximus, only for their ship to crash into the mountain that would come to be known as [[Castle Peak]], trapping them all in stasis. {{storylink|The Decepticons}}

Around the beginning of the 21st century, the [[Predacon]] leader [[Megatron (RiD)|Megatron]] was dispatched to Earth by the Predacon Council to acquire Fortress Maximus. {{storylink|Surprise Attack!}} Attacking the National Scientific Symposium, he captured archaeologist [[Doctor Onishi]], whose research had led him to discover the trail the led to Fortress Maximus. {{storylink|Battle Protocol!}} The Predacons battles with their [[Autobot]] enemies steadily led to the discovery of several O-Parts, which fell into Autobot hands; the Autobot craft in Castle Peak, however, was uncovered by Megatron and the Autobots within co-opted into Decepticons, led by [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]]

[[Image:Bravemax_city.jpg|right|thumb|Well, actually, if he keeps sitting in green liquid, he might ''become'' a [[wikipedia:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|giant turtle]].]]While tunnelling beneath Metro City, the [[Build Team]] found themselves affects by a strange energy field that caused them to hallucinate and fight amongst each other, eventually forcing them to withdraw. Investigating, the Autobots discovered that the cavern beneath the city containing Fortress Maximus, and that the energy field was a defense mechanism designed to keep away any intruders. {{storylink|Fortress Maximus (episode)|Fortress Maximus}} Exposure to Maximus's energies reawakened Scourge's memories of his original mission to reawaken the fortress, but his Decepticon programming twisted the mission, and he now sought to acquire Maximus's power for himself.

During this battle, Doctor Onishi was freed from the Predacons, and equipped the Autobots with tracking devices that allowed them to quickly and easily track down all the remaining O-Parts. {{storylink|A Friendly Contest}} United, the O-Parts led to the Orb of Sigma, resulting in a battle that ended with Megatron's disapearance. {{storylink|Peril From The Past}} The Orb in turn led to Cerebros, who the Decepticons and Predacons - now led by Scourge - were able to capture. Having discovering the hiding place of Fortress Maximus, Scourge utilised the Autobot portion of his energy-signature to activate Cerebros, who then brought Fortress Maximus online. Maximus, however, then proceeded to run wild, stomping his way through Metro City unheeding of Scourge's commands, until the Autobots' human ally [[Koji Onishi|Koji]] called out for him to stop, and he obeyed. Transforming back to city mode, Maximus vanished beneath the Earth, and the villains absconded with Cerebros once more. {{storylink|Maximus Emerges}}

Realising that Koji had been able to control Fortress Maximus because he was human, Scourge amplified the portion of his bio-signature that was human (derived from [[Kelly]]) to seize control of Maximus once more when the city reappeared in the Sahara Desert, only for the Autobots to gather a mass of human children together to override his command. {{storylink|The Human Element}} Deciding that he required a human of his own to control Maximus for him, a case of mistaken identity led Scourge to kidnap Koji's friend [[Carl]]; nevertheless, Maximus was successfully activated and piloted by Carl when he resurfaced in a jungle. By this point, Megatron had returned - having been upgraded to Galvatron by the power of the Orb of Sigma's pyramid - and Scourge chose this moment to reveal his treachery, ordering Fortress Maximus to crush his former leader. However, Carl's selfish desire to defeat the villains himself and show up Koji caused Maximus to power down, and the Autobots arrived in time to save him and finally take possession of Cerebros, as Maximus vanished once more. {{storylink|Mistaken Identity}}

[[Image:Bravemax_megastar.jpg|left|thumb|Clash of the Really Big Hands]]

With the Autobots having acquired a full understanding of Fortress Maximus's activation protocols thanks to Cerebros, their base was then attacked by the Predacons and Decepticons, the latter having been reprogrammed back to loyalty by Galvatron. In the midst of the battle, [[Wedge]]'s determination to defeat Galvatron resonated with Cerebros, and he summoned and activated Fortress Maximus. Galvatron combined with his ship, the [[Megastar]] and battled with Maximus, but was defeated when Maximus unleashed his Maximum Firepower attack and blew the ship to smithereens. {{storylink|Surprise Attack!}}

[[Image:Bravemax_finalburn.jpg|right|thumb|Holy crap!]]

Galvatron survived the barrage, however, and restored his strength by affixing himself to Maximus and draining the giant robot's energy, supercharging himself. {{storylink|Galvatron's Revenge}} [[Omega Prime]] proceeded to challenge Galvatron to a final battle at the Earth's core. Koji, meanwhile, contacted as many children as he could, instructing them to send their energy to Fortress Maximus to re-power him; Maximus absorbed and re-channeled the energy to Omega Prime in the form of the [[Matrix Blade]], which Prime used to finally defeat Galvatron. With the Predacons and Decepticons at last beaten and captured, Fortress Maximus transformed to starship mode and transported the villains to the [[asteroid prison colony]]. {{storylink|The Final Battle}}

===Car Robots===
* '''Brave Maximus''' (2000)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-027'''

: Brave Maximus is an extensive [[redeco]] of ''Generation 1'' [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], essentially replacing much of Fortress's lighter colors with darker ones. Due to marketing campaign concerns, Brave Maximus was never released with all of Fortress Maximus' accessories, missing his two hand guns, [[Cog]]'s components, and the two [[Master Sword]]s. These parts were later offered as campaign and lucky draw prizes by [[Takara]].

: Despite this, Brave Maximus retains all of Fortress' functionality, being able to transform from his 2 foot tall robot mode to battleship mode to city mode and back again. In city mode he features a rotating radar, a jail cell, a working elevator that leads to a button-activated car launcher, and two manual car launchers on his arm-ramps. The [[Spy Changers]] are the only figures from the toyline that interact with him particularly well, although his two arm-ramps can also launch the Autobot Brothers. In particular, the Spy Changer toy of Scourge fits in the robot's control room perfectly, allowing you to replicate the scenes from the cartoon, as well as actually providing an "evil" figure to lock in the jail cell. (Ironically, Spychanger Scourge wasn't part of the ''Car Robots'' toyline, and Maximus wasn't part of ''RiD''! Still, Japanese fans were eventually able buy chibi-Scourge like they buy many US-"exclusive" toys, as a "US Edition" in its American packaging.)

: The back of Maximus's instruction leaflet features a color play mat that the city connects to for use with other ''Car Robots/Robots in Disguise'' toys.

==Trivia==
* According to the toy's profile card, Brave Maximus' robot mode is 350 meters tall (1,148 feet).
* In 2002, [[Hasbro]] began to solicit a domestic US release of Brave Maximus as ''Robots in Disguise'' Fortress Maximus. However, it was later canceled due to the toy's failure of [[for safety reasons|standard industry drop tests]].
* The figure was released in Korea in 2003, identical to the Takara version save for one detail - the Autobot symbol sticker on the city's central tower was upside-down.

Overhaul (Cybertron)

2007-07-07T22:17:14Z

82.34.51.74: /* ''Cybertron'' */

{{disambig2|the Cybertron-series Autobot|the Generation 1 War Within Autobot|Overhaul (G1)}}

:''Overhaul is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]]. Upon recieving a new body, he took the name '''Leobreaker'''.''

[[Image:Map-Leobreaker01.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Let's lionize, guys!]]

'''Overhaul''' is an elder Autobot warrior, having fought alongside [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] during the [[Unicron Battles]] and [[Powerlinx Battles]], and likely before that, as well. He is gruff and oftentimes confrontational, but exceptionally loyal to the Autobot cause. He says he prefers to work alone, but knows deep down the value of friendship and teamwork.

As '''Leobreaker''', his gung-ho attitude is heavily amplified, but he's no longer so independent-minded. He's become fast friends with [[Snarl (Cybertron)|Snarl]] of the [[Jungle Planet]], and has even gained his own [[Platinum Mini-Cons|personal Mini-Con attendants]]. He's even taken a shining to [[Earth]] team sports like baseball, possibly as a replacement for war. This new focus on teamwork does have its downside; he harbors a litlte bit of resentment that his "Savage Claw Mode" combination with Optimus might not be as strong as the "Sonic Wing Mode" the Autobot leader can form with [[Wing Saber]].

He is the cousin of the [[Decepticon]] [[Brushguard]].

''Japanese name:'' '''Jackshot / Ligerjack'''

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
====''Cybertron''====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Paul Dobson]], [[Blu Mankuma]] (US), [[Hisao Egawa]] (Japan)<br>
:''Special attacks:'' Anchor Shot, Platinum Claw, Ultra Liger Drop

[[Image:CybOverhaul.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Who thought "Jackshot" was a good idea? No, seriously. Who?]]

During a battle for the [[Cyber Planet Key]]s with the Decepticons, [[Optimus Prime (UT)|Optimus Prime]] intended to send Overhaul and [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]] to the [[Jungle Planet]]. However, an attack by the Decepticons disrupted [[Vector Prime|Vector Prime's]] gateway portal and Overhaul was left on Jungle Planet alone. There he became embroiled in the power struggle between [[Snarl (Cybertron)|Snarl]], Snarl's mentor [[Backstop]], and the Jungle Planet's brutal tyrant [[Scourge (Cybertron)|Scourge]].

He trained hard, but could not best Scourge at single combat even after building up a tolerance to his flame breath. He sought training from Backstop and Snarl, and eventually invoked the spirit of the world, finding himself transformed into the mega-feline Leobreaker.

When Scourge challenges Optimus to a match for control of the planet, they go mano a mano, just Optimus and Scourge... and Leobreaker lending Prime the phenomenal power of Savage Claw mode as his arm. Nobody mentions whether or not this is cheating. However, due to Scourge's "take on all challengers" attitude, he probably didn't have a problem with it.

*'''Overhaul''' (Scout class, 2005)

: Overhaul transforms into an off-road vehicle similar to a Humvee. Plugging a [[Cyber Planet Key]] into his robot mode back launches his chest-mounted missile (you can do this in car mode too, but the missile is blocked). In Japan, he came with a silver-bordered [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] Cyber Planet Key, but for his [[Hasbro]] release he came with a silver Jungle Planet style key, with the [[Cyber Key Codes|Key Code]] "'''s9d7'''" on the back. There are rumors that a later release of the Japanese version was changed to a Jungle key, but this has not been confirmed.

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

: This toy is a simplified version of the Leobreaker toy. Needless to say, it cannot combine with Optimus Prime.

: This mold is also used by ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' [[Leo Prime]].

:''Attacktix ID number'': '''TF19'''

==Trivia==
[[Image:Leobreakerearly.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Look, ma, a hand!]]
* The original plans for Leobreaker involved a more coherent Savage Claw Mode arm design, complete with fingers and thumbs. But a variety of factors resulted in the simplified form, including rising petroleum prices.

* Additionally, one of the early prototypes featured a faux-SUV chest for Leobreaker, probably to link him more closely to his first body. Like the previously-listed changes, this was likely removed to lower the production cost -- or possibly it was discarded for other reasons.

* The television CGI model of Leobreaker used during the combiner sequence animation, as well as the representation of the combined arm mode is based upon a modified version of one of the original prototypes of Leobreaker, who, as mentioned above, had a much more complex and believable 'arm-mode'.

* Originally, Overhaul was going to be called '''Trailbreaker''', in reference to the Generation 1 character [[Trailbreaker|of the same name]]. However, the [[trademark]] could not be secured for this, resulting in the name-change.

* In a related tidbit, the original naming idea was apparently to go from Trailbreaker to Leobreaker. When they couldn't get Trailbreaker, it seems Hasbro considered naming Overhaul's lion form ''Overcast'', as that name is listed as Leobreaker's American name in the [[Galaxy Force Phase Ignition]] guidebook. However, they ultimately kept the name Leobreaker.

* The combination sequence between Galaxy Convoy and Leo Breaker is a reference to the combination of Goldymarg and GaoGaiGar in the anime The King of Braves GaoGaiGar.
