'''Russia''' is a nation-state. It is the largest nation-state on [[Earth]], stretching from [[Europe]] across [[Asia]].

It used to be part of the [[Soviet Union]], and the most dominant of its fifteen republics, but the band broke up in the early 1990s...we think.

Russia was one of the nations that the [[Pentagon]] believed could be responsible for hacking the US security network. During the resulting military escalations, Russian naval groups began to close in on US naval operations in the Yellow Sea. Once [[Tom Banachek]] informed the Pentagon about the alien nature of the threat, US forces were pulled back. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

Russia was a [[NEST]] member, with a base in the Arkhangelskaya Oblast. [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] established a Decepticon command hub in the same oblast, and a battle erupted there between Autobot/NEST and Decepticon forces. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.20|Divided Loyalties}}

==Notes==
*Originally in ''[[The Transformers: Escalation|Escalation]]'', the series identified the Soviet Union as the state that [[Brasnya]] was attempting to break away from. This was changed in [[Escalation issue 5|#5]] from the Soviet Union to Russia.
*In the ''[[Cybertron (cartoon)|Cybertron]]'' episode, "[[Hidden]]", two Air Force jets are very similar in model to [[Thundercracker (Armada)|Thundercracker]], but in a basic gray color scheme. However, the model of fighter jet is of Russian make, while the pilots are American.

[[Image:DOTM_Driller_vs_Prime.jpg|thumb|250px|right|[[Wikipedia:Kraken (Pirates of the Caribbean)|The Kraken]] called, he wants his mouth back!]]

The largest subterranean lifeform native to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], '''Drillers''' are not to be taken lightly. Enormous multi-tentacled beasts capable of burrowing through the ground or through buildings with ease, they are capable of great destruction and carnage on any scale. Naturally, all these qualities have endeared them to [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] who keeps one as a pet and personal transport.

===IDW ''Dark of the Moon'' comics===
[[Image:Foundation 2 Driller attack.jpg|350px|left|thumb| That's why you walk without rhythm.]]
Years before the war began, when [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]'s [[Autobot]]s revitalized Cybertron by re-energizing the [[AllSpark]], a Driller was drawn to the surface by the fresh energy flowing through the planet. At the outskirts of [[Thetacon (polity)|Thetacon]], it attacked some [[Hatchling]]s and their protector [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] saved them from the creature, forcing it into retreat, but the beast had left an impression upon Shockwave, who deemed it "magnificent". {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

At some point before or during the war, Shockwave captured and tamed a Driller—whether it was the same creature he had fought beforehand or another member of its species is unknown—and brought it to [[Earth]] with him, where [[Astrotrain (DOTM)|Astrotrain]] built a cage for it. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}} When its master was about to get killed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], the Driller made it to [[Philadelphia]] and saved him. [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] recognized the creature and told Prime that if the Driller is what he thought it was, then they were in a big trouble. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

"That wasn't a defeat! It was a phased withdrawal!"]]

A Driller, this one partially reengineered to serve as Shockwave's chariot and warhound, was summoned alongside its master, to attack Optimus Prime when NEST was called to Chernobyl by [[Alexi Voskhod]]. This was only misdirection, to ensure that the Autobots did not realize that the Decepticons actually wanted them to find the fuel cell from the Ark located within the facility. After Optimus retrieved the fuel cell from the Driller, Shockwave emerged from it to reveal himself to Optimus, and the pair quickly retreated underground. The experience left Optimus somewhat shaken, and angry with the humans that they had concealed the Ark from the Autobots.

[[Image:driller_chicago_dotm.jpg|left|thumb|350px|]]

Later on, the Driller was present in [[Chicago]] during the Decepticon invasion, proving to be a deadly threat from below, seperating Optimus from his trailer and the flight tech it possessed. It crawled its way in and through a toppling skyscraper by Shockwave's command to flush out [[Sam Witwicky]] and his allies, and caused the building to snap in half, the top section slamming onto another building. When the Driller went in to finish the humans, Optimus, with the jet pack and upgraded weapons from his trailer, attacked it in midair. The Driller's reach with its tentacles was hindered by the building as it attempted to fight back, and Optimus killed it by slamming his entire body through its head, which crashed to the street below. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

===''Transformers: Dark of the Moon - The Game''===
The Driller was frozen along with his master, Shockwave in a former Soviet military base. As Optimus Prime tried to keep Shockwave frozen until reinforcements arrived, the Driller came online and attacked the Autobot leader only to have his tentacles blasted by rockets, this caused it to retreat.

However, just as Optimus was about to deliver the finishing blow to Shockwave, the Driller reappeared and protected his master, taking him to safety.

[[Image:InvasionPrologue-Rhinox.jpg|right|thumb|300px|]]
In a very old universe populated by highly-evolved [[Transformer]]s, '''Rhinox''' is [[Axiom Nexus]]'s Minister of Higher Dimensional Sciences. He has studied the [[multiverse]] for eons, identifying [[universal stream]]s and cataloging new [[splinter timeline]]s.

{{bigquote|If that's a scientist, I'd hate to see your military units.|[[Bug Bite (G1)|Bug Bite]] meets Rhinox|"[[Withered Hope]]"}}

==Fiction==
===''TransTech''===
When a group of six [[GoBots (G1)|interdimensional travelers]] found themselves in the multiversal hub city of [[Axiom Nexus]] by mistake, they spoke of the extra-dimensional [[Cataclysm (event)|Cataclysm]] that threatened their entire universe. To hopefully help explain this occurrence [[Optimus Prime (TransTech)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (TransTech)|Megatron]] called on the expertise of Rhinox. After some quick data analysis, Rhinox was able explain the source of the travelers' cataclysm—their universe was being replaced [[Primax 207.0 Epsilon|by another]], due to an unusual shatterpoint caused by the appearance and destruction of [[Unicron]], the destruction of [[Primus]]' [[Emirate Xaaron|avatar]], a [[Thunderwing (G1)|tainted]] [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]], as well as an unidentified earlier event.

Though the source of the travelers' cataclysm was found, there was nothing Rhinox or the other TransTech could do for them. {{storylink|Withered Hope}}

Some time later, Rhinox detected "multiple phenomena across corresponding clusters," even in [[Primax 1291.0 Zeta|universal streams long thought destroyed]]. Rhinox traced the activity back to [[Primax 207.0 Epsilon]] in general and its universe's [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] in particular, along with an invasion force from [[Primax -408.24 Epsilon]]. {{storylink|Invasion Prologue}}

'''Kup and Perceptor get a second lease on life.'''

=="Everything in Its Right Place"==
===Synopsis===
[[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] admits to himself that [[Springer (G1)|Springer]]'s arrival on ''[[Ark-17]]'' could not have begun any other way. Indeed, the [[Autobot]] tactician had predicted Springer's reaction to finding the convalescent veteran [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] missing from the Autobot ship: a sudden uppercut to Prowl's jaw. Letting Springer vent, Prowl rights himself while he internally laments that so many of the Autobot forces follow the [[Wrecker]] commander's example and have become mavericks and loose cannons. Seeing his opportunity, Prowl silences Springer with the revelation of ''why'' Kup is not on the ship, the fact that [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] and his team of scientists have gotten the old codger up and running again. Springer expresses doubt, having seen the emaciated madman that Kup had been reduced to. Prowl counters by revealing that Perceptor had teamed with the talented Autobots of the [[Kimia Facility]] and had achieved a technological breakthrough with some rather unusual procedures. Springer is wary, as due to his role as Wrecker leader his primary experience with the facility has been in testing experimental weaponry. Prowl reminds Springer that the facility was also where the successful refinement of the [[Pretender]] process reverse-engineered from Decepticon technology was accomplished. He then explains that the same principles were applied to resolve Kup's technological incompatibility with modern upgrades, with Kup's cerebro-cortex interfacing with his new body in a nearly identical manner, though he cannot separate from his pretender carapace.

Springer's reactions are still mixed until Prowl shows him footage of Kup's new body in combat trials. Indeed, it appears that Springer's old commanding officer is fully rehabilitated, in a body that moves like it's in the prime of youth. Springer however notices a foreign object in Kup's mouth, a [[cy-gar]]. Asking why Kup has such a relic of the decadent pre-war days of Cybertron, Springer is told by Prowl that this is how Perceptor keeps the veteran from lapsing into flashbacks of his time stranded on the alien world. Emitting a synthetic replica of the radiation Kup had become addicted to, the cy-gar manages his cravings and keeps him mentally stable. Internally, Prowl notes that without Kup's continued mental stability his ''own'' plans for the veteran would be for naught. Reassuring Springer, he notes that Kup is a potent symbol to rally the Autobot troops behind.

[[Image:AHM Kup nightmare.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Don't do drugs, Kup.]]

Finally allowed to see Kup in person, Springer's doubts are nearly all laid to rest. Kup is undergoing a final diagnostic disassembly before resuming field duty, and is jovial, joking with his former subordinate. However when seeing his own arm laying on the nearby table, Kup briefly begins to have a flashback, only snapped out of it by Perceptor supplying his cy-gar to him. Stabilized, his friendly demeanor returns and a still-nervous Springer expresses gratitude to see him rejoining their ranks.

Prowl recalls his meetings with Perceptor and the scientist's reluctance to be assigned directly to Kup in the field. He had to remind Perceptor that the Autobot ranks look up to Kup, and that if their secret actions at reforming the way Autobots look at tactics were to be successful they needed the veteran stable and able to capably lead others by example. In so doing, they might turn the tide of the war and have the Autobots fighting more effectively overall, bringing about peace sooner.

Meanwhile, Prowl and Springer discuss that Kup will never be told what he did while stranded on that remote planet. Prowl addresses Springer's concerns, stating that all involved have been contacted and sworn to silence.

After Springer departs, Prowl muses further on the streak of individuality and insubordination that inevitably undermines all Autobot tactics. Even [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], he notes, seems more inclined to listen to the bellicose plans of [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] than his own more sound battle strategies. That is all about to change, if the personality subroutines installed in Kup take hold. Personality subroutines that will have Kup give the advice that ''Prowl'' wants him to give...

He recalls another conversation with Perceptor, in which the scientist noted with no small amount of irony that in doing this Prowl had gone maverick himself, conducting secret plans beyond the chain of command. Prowl felt no contradiction in this, as what separated him from an individual like Hot Rod was the fact that none of what he was doing was something he sought recognition or admiration for. Instead, his only concern was the shared success of the Autobot forces and the final resolution of the [[Great War (G1)|Cybertronian civil war]].

===Quotes===
"Tell me you didn't just drag Kup here to reverse-engineer some kind of weapon that can inflict that sort of radiation damage on a Decepticon?" 
"No, Springer--" 
''But don't think I didn't consider it.''
:—'''Springer''', '''Prowl''', and '''Prowl's narration'''

"The average Autobot default setting is daredevil, maverick. That's not ''us'', Perceptor. ''We'' can subdivide this war into its purest mathematical form and generate solutions all we want, but unless we happen to be ''surfing'' on a ''meteoroid'' at the time, ''no one'' will pay attention."
:—'''Prowl'''

"But with Kup, ''everyone'' wants to hear what he has to say. So now, when he ''speaks''... you won't even see my lips move."
:—'''Prowl'''

===Notes===
* "Surfing on a meteoroid" may be a nod to "[[Spotlight: Hot Rod]]", which Roche also drew.
* The implication of page 10 is that Optimus was listening to people like Ironhide during ''[[The Transformers: All Hail Megatron|All Hail Megatron]]'' and ''that's'' how the Autobots blundered into a trap.
* Grimlock has ''113'' files devoted to his insubordination. The number is likely a reference to [[Wanted: Galvatron — Dead or Alive!|issue #113]] of the Marvel UK ''Transformers'' comic, the issue which got Nick Roche hooked on the series. It reappears multiple times in the Roche-written ''[[The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers|Last Stand of the Wreckers]]''.
* Thunderwing is depicted as his pre-Pretender self.
* This is not the first time Prowl has shown annoyance with his situation: [[Devastation issue 5]]
* Prowl has been labelled a prick before because he's a bit of a jerk to [[Grimlock (G1)|the cool characters]]. Now he's an all-out ambiguous figure, willing to do highly amoral and ''im''moral actions in order to win the war quickly and efficiently, and all without an interest in getting credit for doing it. Which makes him... well, frakking ''scary'', to be honest. Writer [[Mike Costa]] has said these eleven pages "defined" the IDW version of the character.<ref>[http://moonbase2.libsyn.com/webpage/the-underbase-reviews-ongoing-31 Moonbase 2 interview with Mike Costa ("Special Guest")]</ref>

====Errors====
* In panel 4 on page 4, the markings on Prowl's door read "Highway Patrol ''Patrol''" instead of "Highway Patrol Police".

=="Lost & Found"==
===Synopsis===
Aboard the starship ''[[Trion]]'', [[Drift (G1)|Drift]] has managed to teach patience to [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] through the use of the [[Earth]] game "[[Go]]". The two of them muse on their lives before the war, while Perceptor's damaged body looms above them in a [[CR chamber]].

[[Image:AHM_bludgeoniseeevill.jpg|300px|thumb|Bludgeon has goo for a face.]]

One hundred games later, [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] is haranguing [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] over his inability to hail any other Autobot outposts. Drift admonishes his impatience, and Kup explains that all the Autobot distress signals have him antsy. Blurr arrives and announces that Perceptor is online once more.

The crew goes to see Perceptor in his lab, where he is fervently working on reinforcements and refinements to his body. Among them is a new chest panel that will presumably prevent the grievous wound that sidelined him from ever occurring again. Shortly afterward, he installs stabilizers in his arms to improve his aim. Kup objects, as Perceptor is more valuable in the lab than on the field. Perceptor however feels he can be more useful in battle, and thus repay the debt he feels he owes for the saving of his life. Kup lectures him, but is interrupted by Blaster, who has received a patchy transmission from [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]. The hotheaded Autobot is being pursued by a [[Decepticon]] ship under the command of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]. The ''Trion'' moves to intercept, but Perceptor is warned to stay behind.

At the crash site of Hot Rod's shuttlecraft, Bludgeon orders the [[Pretender Monster|Monstructor Six]] to execute the Autobot. Kup's crew arrive via [[orbital jump]] to even the odds. However the Autobots are quickly overwhelmed by the formation of [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]], and the odds of the battle seem bleak. In the nick of time, a precise burst of laser fire hits the vulnerable connector joint of the immense combiner, reducing Monstructor back into its component Decepticons. The stunned Autobot crew turns to find that their savior is Perceptor himself. Blaster expresses vehement misgivings on Perceptor having "defiled" himself by repurposing his body to combat specifications. Kup deflects this by telling Blaster to tend to the wounded [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], and takes Perceptor along to give chase to the fleeing Decepticons.

===Quotes===
"Just doin' my job."
:—'''Perceptor''''s upgrades apparently include a "can't pronounce the g at the end of his verbs anymore" function.

===Notes===
* Perceptor has two different bodies in this story; his G1 look (from "[[Spotlight: Blaster]]" and "[[Spotlight: Drift]]") and his semi-updated look from ''All Hail Megatron''.
* Hot Rod was seen piloting the Decepticon ship he acquired in [[Spotlight: Hot Rod|his ''Spotlight'']], given a fresh coat of paint to match its new owner. <ref>http://forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopic.php?t=6643&start=60#151871</ref>
* The Decepticons appear to have reverse-engineered and now drafted the Monstructor Six.
* The ending appears to lead into Hot Rod's flashback tale in [[All Hail Megatron issue 5|''All Hail Megatron'' #5]].

====Errors====
* Why are Drift and Blurr playing an Earth game? None of the team were ''on Earth'' until ''All Hail Megatron''. (Psst—it's because [[Wikipedia:Go (game)|Go]], an ancient Chinese game, is commonly thought to be Japanese. IDW is just reminding us, in case we ever forgot, that Drift is Japanese.)
* If Decepticon Pretenders are presented as supremely powerful horrors, ''why is Bludgeon retreating'' because Monstructor is down? He ''alone'' should be capable of wiping out the Autobots.
* Speaking of Bludgeon, why is he not in [[Garrus-9]]? And when did he get his mind back?! And why is he suddenly loyal and working with the other Decepticons?! [[Denton J. Tipton]] said we'd find out what happened at Garrus-9 in ''[[The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers|Last Stand of the Wreckers]]'',<ref>http://forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopic.php?t=6643&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30</ref> but as it turned out, Bludgeon was not seen or mentioned at all in that series, and in any case the events that took place would not explain Bludgeon's sudden sanity. Yes, Denton, we know we're not supposed to be concerned with continuity.<ref>[http://forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopic.php?p=205076#205076 Comment made on the IDW message boards on September 22nd, 2010.]</ref>
