'''Reverb''' is one of the happiest Decepticons around, tackling his assignments with a zeal few others can match. Sure, most of his teammates are a bunch of [[Dead End (ROTF)|Gloomy Gusses]], but let 'em be. Reverb is having way too much fun just blowing things up and terrorizing the locals. A high-speed chase and things that are flammable, that's what life is all about!

Reverb had been sighted in [[Los Angeles]], and [[NEST]] went in to capture him. However, [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] went into action too soon, spooking Reverb and causing him to divert from his route. He successfully avoided the Autobot, only to get rammed head-on by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}}

*'''Reverb''' (Scout, 2009)

:Reverb is a [[redeco]] of [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]], transforming into a red, white and blue racing motorcycle of undetermined model. In robot mode, he has a non-firing cannon for a right hand. The vehicle side panels, which become leg [[kibble]] in robot mode, are held in place by unbolted pegs and tend to pop off during conversion.

:This mold was also used to make ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Trenchmouth]] and [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'' 2010]] [[Backfire (TF 2010)|Backfire]].

==Notes==
* Reverb's toy bio shares the same basic personality as the unpublished bio for the canceled toy [[Reverb (Movie)|of the same name]] from the [[Movie (toyline)|2007 movie toyline]].

* Reverb was designed as an [[homage]] to ''[[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]]. Aside from the color layouts (especially the head), his [[tampograph]]s are references: "Calany Racing" is a rather unfortunate misspelling of "C'''o'''l'''o'''ny Racing" (as in one of Inferno's most common phrases, "''For the colony!''"), plus the "97" refers to Inferno's release year (1997).

* That the cowling's "97" looks a lot like "26" in robot mode does not appear to have any significance beyond its association with the original [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]].

* He also coincidentally resembles the [[Tonka]] [[Tonka GoBots|GoBot]] [http://www.tfu.info/Gobots/Renegades/Dart/dart.htm Dart].
