'''Witwicky''' is a surname frequently used for humans in the ''Transformers'' brand.<br />
<br />
Contrary to popular belief, Witwicky is a ''real'' name... but a vanishingly rare one. The U.S. Social Security Death Index records the passing of only two people with that name in the United States in the last 50 years.<ref>[http://ssdi.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi?lastname=Witwicky U.S. Social Security Death Index: Witwicky]</ref> However, the alternate spelling ''Witwicki'' is a relatively more common one, occurring 33 times in the Social Security Death Index.<ref>[http://ssdi.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi?lastname=Witwicki U.S. Social Security Death Index: Witwicki]</ref> It is possible that the name originates from the Poland/Ukraine area of Eastern Europe, specifically the village of Witwica, and that the name itself means 'the one from Witwica'.<ref>[http://www.polishroots.org/surnames/surnames/surname_25.htm#WITWICKI PolishRoots.org: A discussion of the origins of the name Witwicki]</ref><br />
<br />
The motto of the Witwicky family <small>(at least the fictional one)</small> is "No sacrifice, no victory," or in Latin, ''Absque sui detrimento non datur victoria''<ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.language.latin/msg/e0f3506ea2dbde7c?dmode=source Latin translation of Witwicky motto]</ref><br />

*"[[Sparkplug Witwicky|Sparkplug]]"<br />
**First name: William and/or Irving<ref>In ''[[The Last Stand]]'', Sparkplug had a dream sequence where he identified his first name as William. Later, in ''[[Buster Witwicky and the Car Wash of Doom]]'', while hypnotized, he identified his first name as Irving. As he was unlikely to be lying in either of those situations (although dreams admittedly don't have to match real life exactly), the most likely answer is that his full name is either William Irving Witwicky or Irving William Witwicky.</ref> {{storylink|Marvel Comics continuity|Marvel Comics}}<br />

==Notes==<br />
*The genealogy chart shown above provides an entirely different Witwicky family tree than established in the Movie comics, eliminating or renaming most of the above characters. It might be imagined that this established the movie comics and movie itself as separate continuities, but then again it's a horribly mangled poster that is full of inbreeding and an apparently unrelated digression off to the side and may establish nothing more than the fact that Sam's "A-" was a damn miracle.<br />

<br />
Extreme risk? '''Jetstorm''' is up for it! The youngest of the [[Aquaspeeder]]s, there's nothing he loves more than charging right into the thick of things and getting his sparkplugs firing. His superiors might be a bit more down on his thrill-seeking ways if they didn't ''work'' so often. He's a smart kid, always thinking up new defensive measures sure to surprise any [[Decepticon]] unlucky enough to fall into them. Backed with a powerful and exceptionally accurate hydro-cannon, he's ready to take on any attacker.<br />

*'''Jetstorm''' (Aquaspeeder, 1993)<br />
**''Accessories'': Water cannon<br />
<br />
: Jetstorm transforms into a red and yellow Peugeot 405 T16 rally car. His hood section is coated in [[Color changing|heat-sensitive paint]], turning pale on contact with cold water... but with the amount of stickers on him, that not really a good idea. He has a long [[water]]-[[Water-squirting gimmick|squirting rifle]] that becomes his front light rack and rear spoiler in car mode.<br />
<br />
: Jetstorm was only available in various European markets during the two-year "transitional" period marking the changeover from [[The Transformers (toyline)|the original toyline]] to ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''; in the original line's final year (1993), the toys were given redesigned Autobot and Decepticon symbols, but it wasn't until 1994 that "Generation 2" appeared on the packaging.<br />
<br />
: This mold was also used to make the [[Color Changer]] [[Gobots]].<br />
