Sentinel Prime (ROTF)

2011-04-23T16:41:54Z

98.145.233.162: /* Notes */ Yeah, I think that's been established by this point in the article.

{{disambig3|Sentinel Prime}}
{{factions|autobotfilm|{{factions/icons|custom=Cyberglyphics Prime Symbol.png|cLink=Dynasty of Primes|cPretty=Prime}}}}
:''Sentinel Prime is an Autobot from the [[live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:SentinelPrimeDOTMpromo.jpg|thumb|300px|Who's your daddy?]]

'''Sentinel Prime''' is a Prime! A legendary warrior revered by Autobots and Decepticons alike, Sentinel was believed lost long ago but has now returned to turn the tide in the Autobots' favor!

==Fiction==
===''Revenge of the Fallen'' film===
Sentinel Prime led an expedition where it took him fourteen galactic convergences to get an echo of something.

Whether or not he is one of [[Seven Primes|the original Primes]] or in the later Dynasty of Primes is uncertain. He does however seem to be one of the direct ancestors of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].

Sentinel Prime was mentioned in a rambling lecture of [[Sam Witwicky]]'s while under an [[AllSpark]] fragment-induced trance. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

===IDW live-action film comics===
[[Image:Foundation1-SentinelPrimeaword.jpg|left|thumb|300px|"That word is ''fart''."]]
Sentinel Prime was a direct descendant of the first Cybertronian, [[Primus]], and was believed to be the last of the [[Prime (rank)|Primes]]. He told tales to his much younger Cybertronian brethren of how the [[Dynasty of Primes]] had called upon a legendary artifact, the star-powered [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]], to give life to their world. But the AllSpark had been lost to history, and their world had tumbled through the cosmos without a star to orbit for eons.

Sentinel Prime had plans to rectify this, and he gathered followers who believed in his path to a new age of life on Cybertron. With the help of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], and their legions, they searched the planet for the legendary artifact and a way to power it. However, there were the [[Thetacon]]s, a tribe of separatist Transformers who disbelieved in Sentinel Prime's vision, and warred against him and his followers. This conflict ended when, with the help of [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]], a sun to orbit was brought to Cybertron, and the AllSpark discovered and energized.

Though Sentinel Prime had finally returned the forgotten concept of "freedom" back to Cybertron, he felt he no longer had a part in its path to the future. He was old and tired, and spoke in confidence to Optimus, wishing for the young Autobot to become the new Prime. Though Optimus was too humble to accept, Megatron overheard their conversation and became jealous of his "brother." {{storylink|Foundation issue 1}} Sentinel formulated another plan for Cybertron's future: it would be governed by Optimus's [[Science Division]] and Megatron's [[Defense Force]]. By having Optimus investigate the remains of the Primes's civilization, it would encourage him to believe in his lineage. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2}}

Bumblebee (Movie)/toys

2011-03-26T17:14:58Z

98.145.233.162: Undo revision 569059 by TOM (Talk) It still shares a lot of tooling and the TF scheme of BBBB. Face it, it's a retool, not a new mold.

{{picsneeded|various stuff}}
{{suite}}

'''[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]''' is the star of a [[Transformers (2007)|multi-million-dollar film]]. Ergo, he gets a lot of toys and merchandise!

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:Bumblebeemovielegends.jpg|right|250px|thumb|It's not a fiesta with racing stripes... it's a fiesta OF racing stripes!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Bumblebee'''

: Legends Bumblebee transforms into a yellow 1976 Chevrolet Camaro. Being a highly simplified toy of a highly complex design, Legends-class Bumblebee does not replicate the appearance of the robot mode very well, and has very limited articulation, detail and paint application. On the other hand, he's pocket-sized and inexpensive, perfect for the younger set. The toy has a sculpted rear window, but it's not painted like the other windows. instead, the racing stripes extend over them.

{{-}}
*'''Optimus Prime bonus pack''' (Costco exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

:A Costco exclusive special pack of Leader Class Optimus Prime with Legends Class Bumblebee and [[Jazz (Movie)|Autobot Jazz]] as bonus figures. None of the three toys is changed from their respective original releases.

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Allspark Legends pack.jpg|right|250px|thumb|The classic G1 cast...plus Barricade.]]
*'''Battle for the Allspark''' (Toys'R'Us exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

: 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, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

{{-}}
*'''Bumblebee Scanning Ver.''' (''Hyper Hobby'' magazine exclusive EZ Collection variant, 2007)

: A Japanese-exclusive version of the Legends Bumblebee toy, "scanning version" Bumblebee uses transparent plastics for his yellow parts. He was available as a mail-order item from ''Hyper Hobby'' magazine in September of 2007.

{{-}}
[[Image:Melltallic Bumblebee.jpg|right|255px|thumb|You know you know you want me]]
*'''Metallic Bumblebee''' (Tsutaya Records exclusive EZ collection variant, 2007)

: This Japanese metallic repaint of Legends class Bumblebee is an exclusive included with purchase of the Movie DVD at Tsutaya Records.

{{-}}

[[Image:Movie Legends Bumblebee Scorponok toys.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Bee stings.]]
*'''Bumblebee vs. Scorponok''' (Legends Allspark Battles two-pack, 2008)

: As part of the ''AllSpark Battles'' Legends two-packs, a slightly redecoed Legends class Bumblebee, now sporting "battle damage" paint applications, comes with an all-new Legends [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] figure.

{{-}}
====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:Bumblebeemovietoydeluxe67.jpg|right|250px|thumb|These used cars are fully loaded!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Classic Camaro, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: The first Deluxe Class version of Movie Bumblebee transforms into a yellow [[wikipedia:Second-generation_Chevrolet_Camaro|1976 Chevrolet Camaro]] with a quite reasonable level of sculpted detail. In contrast to the other Deluxe-class car Transformers in the Movie toyline, he does not have clear windows, instead opting for opaque yellow plastic with painted metallic blue.

: Bumblebee is armed with two shoulder-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers (inspired by the shoulder-mounted missile launchers he uses to fight Brawl/Devastator in the movie), which also double as hand-held weapons or can be mounted on ports on the undersides of his elbows. His legs and chest [[Automorph]] during transformation.

: The initial release of the toy featured even tabs for the Automorph gimmick; oddly, Hasbro later decided to [[retool]] the feature so the tab would be uneven.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29613 Original Allspark thread about the retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref> This resulted in many reported cases of the tab snapping during transformation. Press the button or you'll break him. Seriously. The retooled Automorph gimmick would be used for all subsequent versions of the mold, including the Japanese ones, and the breakage problem wouldn't be fixed until the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack and the Target exclusive "Evolution of a Hero" two-pack.

[[Image:Movie Deluxe 1974 Bumblebee JPtoy.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Never seen so much translucent plastic in all my life.]]
: Packaging photos and early [[Prototype|test shots]] of Hasbro's Bumblebee featured transparent blue plastic windows and missile parts. However, the final Hasbro production toy has opaque yellow plastic. The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of Bumblebee retains the transparent blue plastic parts, with yellow paint for the outer car shell. As a consequence, the missiles, which are on the same sprue, are also made of clear blue plastic, just like the early prototype seen in the Hasbro stock photos for the toy. He also uses the retooled version of the mold with the fixed [[Automorph]] gimmick.

The packaging used for the Japanese toy is the same as for the Hasbro version, with the exception of additional stickers identifying it as a Japanese market release.

{{-}}
[[Image:Bumblebee Barricade deluxeboxset.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Go ahead, make my day!"]]
*'''Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: This battle pack contains the 1976 Camaro deluxe-class Bumblebee and the deluxe-class [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]/[[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] figures, based upon their confrontation as seen in the movie. The box features a diorama-style background from a movie scene, but the toys themselves are unchanged from their original carded releases.

: The set originally retailed for only slightly less than buying the two individual toys. However, for a short while, it was about the only way to ''get'' Bumblebee in the first place, thanks to the [[Movie (toyline)|toy drought]] following the movie's record-smashing opening.

{{-}}
*'''Bumblebee Limited Metallic Color Version''' (Lawson exclusive Deluxe-sized Classic Camaro, TakaraTomy 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: A redeco of the Japanese version of the Classic Camaro Bumblebee mold (retaining the clear blue windows and missiles) that was exclusively available with the purchase of a ticket for the movie in Japanese Lawson stores.

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie TowedtoSafety toys.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Sadly, All Spark Insurance doesn't cover towing charges.]]
*'''Towed to Safety''' (two-pack, UK 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: This set features an unaltered Deluxe class [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] figure and a Deluxe class 1976 Camaro Bumblebee figure. The window box features a diorama background of the battle in [[Mission City]] (basically the same packaging inner tray from the "Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter" pack). As is generally the case with the European releases of the Movie toys, the pictures on the front of the box show the robot-mode toys instead of an artist's depiction of their faces.

: For this two-pack, Hasbro slightly retooled Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick again, adding another small tab that finally resolved the breakage issues that had plagued the previous variation of the mold.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38149 Allspark thread about the second retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref>

:Thus far, this pack has only been released in the United Kingdom.

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Deluxe 2009 Bumblebee toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Nu-uh! You don't want none of this!]]
*'''Bumblebee (Camaro Concept)''' (Deluxe Class Concept Camaro, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-10'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: The second Deluxe class Bumblebee toy, which shares no parts with the previous one (even the head, despite being based on the same general design, is a different sculpt), transforms into the [[wikipedia:Fifth-generation_Chevrolet_Camaro|concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro]]. Maintaining the high standard for car accuracy in the movie line, Bumblebee is very faithful to the real-life vehicle, featuring clear blue windows in contrast to the opaque windows seen in both his previous Deluxe class toy and the Ultimate Bumblebee toy.

: Bumblebee features two [[Automorph|Automorphing]] gimmicks during transformation: ''(a)'' swinging his hood down into robot mode position also moves his arms up and ''(b)'', swinging his feet down will move the rear fenders up and behind his calves, as well as swinging the rear windows to his inner calves in a spring-loaded action. Unusually, this version of Bumblebee is much more accurate to the CGI design than either the older-model Deluxe OR the Ultimate figure, with the chest properly articulating in a fairly Movie-accurate manner. He's also slightly taller than most of the other Deluxe Class figures.

: Bumblebee features a superb range of articulation, with ball joints in his shoulders, neck, torso, wrists and upper legs, with ratcheting and swivels making up the remaining joints. Instead of the rather inaccurate missile launchers from the 1976 Camaro toy, '09 Bumblebee comes with a mostly accurate version of his plasma cannon as it appears in the movie, but for added play value, it can Automorph into an energy blade by opening up the halves of the gun barrel and swinging them back. The cannon can be held in either of his hands.

: Care should be taken when removing the cannon from Bumblebee's hands, as excessive force can damage the wrist ball joint socket.

: Contrary to popular opinion, the yellow pieces on the back of Bumblebee's feet are ''not'' supposed to be heel spurs, nor have they been mis-assembled. They are supposed to fold up to emulate the detail found on the CGI design.

: A running change version of this mold adds tabs to the hip panels, which makes the vehicle mode hold together better, as well as sculpted pupils inside Bumblebee's eyes.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=144325 TFW2005 thread about the retool for the second Deluxe Bumblebee toy]</ref> Initially this was believed to be a variant for the Japanese market; however, later shipments of the Hasbro toy featured those changes as well, as did all subsequent versions of the mold.

: This mold was also used to make "Allspark Power" [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]].

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Bumblebee Evolutionofahero.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Hey, look, Concept Camaro, now ''you're'' the piece o' crap.]]
*'''Evolution of a Hero''' (Target exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles, Plasma cannon

: A Target exclusive, this figure multi-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe-class 1976 Bumblebee and an exclusive "battle damaged" 2009 Camaro Concept Bumblebee. Even though the 2009 figure is supposed to represent Bumblebee's damaged state as he appeared during the final battle in the movie, oddly enough the "damage" paint decos do not appear to extend to his legs, restricting themselves to his upper torso and car roof/door parts. Maybe they didn't bother because they thought you'd take them off like in the movie. Go figure.

:The Classic Camaro Bumblebee toy included in this package features the same "fixed" Automorph gimmick also found on the version included in the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack. In addition, the Automorph button on the hood ''finally'' sports the painted pinstripes that had been missing on ''all'' previous releases of the mold.

{{-}}
*'''Bumblebee and Optimus Prime''' (Argos exclusive two-pack, UK 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: A two-pack, exclusively available at Argos stores in the United Kingdom, which contains an unchanged Voyager-class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and an equally unchanged Deluxe-class Concept Camaro Bumblebee.

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie ScreenBattles CaptureofBB.jpg|right|250px|thumb|You'll never take me alive!]]
*'''Capture of Bumblebee''' (Screen Battles diorama pack, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-04'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack comes a [[Redeco|redecoed]] Camaro Concept Deluxe-class Bumblebee featuring a more accurate gray color scheme for his robot mode parts and a silver-painted face, Autobot symbol and toes. Additionally, a new red Autobot symbol is placed on his forehead, while his translucent parts are now a greener blue. The pack also comes with non-posable figurines of [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]] and two Sector Seven soldiers; one carrying a cryo-freezing cannon and one carrying a grenade launcher.

: This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the scene in which Bumblebee is captured by Sector Seven forces.

:According to details listed in an official checklist on Hasbro's website{{fact}}, this pack was originally supposed to feature "ice soldiers" (plural), in addition to an "S7 agent" and an "S7 soldier". Apparently budget ultimately only allowed for one. The grenade launcher-wielding S7 soldier also looks conspicuously like [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] colored as a Sector Seven soldier (it's possible that the figure had originally been intended for the Screen Battles "Desert Attack" pack with [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]).

{{-}}
[[Image:MovieTargetAllsparkDeluxeBumblebee.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Bumblebee just went neon. For Playskool, see the Cyber Slammers version.]]
*'''All Spark-Enhanced Bumblebee''' (Target Exclusive Deluxe, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: This Target exclusive features the Deluxe Class Bumblebee in unique cylindrical packaging, with the only difference from his standard release being that key robot mode parts are highlighted by the slavish 'All Spark Blue' color for no other reason than [[to sell toys]].

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Deluxe StealthBumblebee toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Bumblebee, as he appears in [[Shattered Glass (franchise)|Bizarro World]].]]
*'''Stealth Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Concept Camaro, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: Stealth Bumblebee is an extensive redeco and minor retool of the Deluxe class 2009 Camaro Bumblebee toy. The redeco itself is unusual in that the yellow parts are still cast in yellow plastic, but painted black. Other color differences include changing the robot mode body parts from black to gray and adding bright blue ''AllSpark Power'' decos.

:The head has also been retooled to reflect Bumblebee's 'battle mask' as seen in the Movie. The "mask" does not flip up to reveal his head. Bummer.

:Downloadable content for the [[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|Xbox 360/PS3 version of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' game]] features this deco as an alternate skin for Bumblebee.

{{-}}
[[Image:MovieDeluxePremiumBumblebee.jpg|right|250px|thumb|You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' ("Premium Series" Deluxe Class Concept Camaro, 2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-22'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

:This [[redeco]] of the Deluxe-class Concept Camaro toy features a similar deco as the Screen Battles version in terms of plastic colours, but replaces the head sculpt with the "battle mask" sculpt previously used for Stealth Bumblebee. All of his outer car body panels have been coated in a metallic yellow paint job.

{{-}}
[[Image:WMTheLegacyOfBumblebee.jpg|thumb|250px|Featuring Whitebread Edition Bumblebee, Limey Edition Bumblebee, and ''Animated'' Edition Bumblebee. (What'd you '''think''' we were gonna say?)]]
*'''The Legacy of Bumblebee''' (Deluxe class multi-pack, 2008)

:A Walmart [[exclusive]] three pack, ''The Legacy of Bumblebee'' collector's set comes with [[Bumblebee (G1)|''Classics'']], Movie Deluxe Concept Camaro ([[Premium Series]]) and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] figures. While the ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' Bumblebees are identical to their original, single carded releases, the ''Classics'' Bumblebee has been redecoed to more closely resemble his ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' counterparts, changing his white stripes to black, and his grey/silver plastic to yellow, similarly to ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Bumble.

{{-}}
====Screen Battles====
[[Image:Movie ScreenBattles FinalStand1.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Half a bee, philosophically/ Must, ipso facto, half not be./ But half the bee has got to be/ Vis-a-vis, its entity. D'you see?"]]
*'''Final Stand''' (Screen Battles, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-02'''

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack comes with an altered [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] toy and a posable, non-transforming, battle-damaged Bumblebee figure very similar to the ''Robot Replicas'' toy, yet surprisingly utilizing none of the same parts despite being on an identical scale. This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the battle in Mission City.

:Although entirely comprised of original sculpting, such as the gimpy leg-stumps, the Bumblebee figure oddly does not feature the character's distinctive car door "wings" on his back. However, keen [[customizing|customisers]] can easily rectify this by slicing the "Robot Replicas" version's wings off and whittling their connecting plastic into simple posts that very handily plug into large holes in the tires on Final Stand 'Bee's back. In fact, these holes almost seem designed to accommodate a missing part. (Considering how all the other Screen Battles sets were apparently originally intended to feature more, or at least more elaborate, accessory figures based on their entries in an official checklist on Hasbro's website{{fact}}, this seems indeed very plausible.)

{{-}}
====Ultimate====
[[Image:Ultimate Bumblebee toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|All those extras and they couldn't make me more accurate than the deluxe class toy.]]
*'''Ultimate Bumblebee''' (Ultimate, 2007)
**''Accessories:''

: Similar in appearance to the second Deluxe-class Bumblebee toy, albeit much larger and more complex, the 'Ultimate' version of Bumblebee also transforms into the 2009 concept Camaro. The toy features animatronic movement in robot mode (flapping wings, moving arms and a rotating head) and light-up eyes and headlights, activated by the movement or sounds made by the person playing with the toy, or by pressing his buttons, which also activate an obscene number of interactive electronic sound effects. Oddly enough, despite being mute for most of the movie, Bumblebee has a wide range of phrases (Which don't even sound like him). His chest button yields various phrases and a new version of the ''Transformers'' theme tune, while a button on his side produces blaster noises, more speech, and musical samples, including four different ones from Devo's "Whip It." This button also causes the toy to raise its cannon-arm and automatically fire a missile. Playing with the toy by moving it will make him repeat various phrases and samples activated by other features, as well as crashing battle noises, but when he is left idle, more unique phrases will be uttered inquiring where everyone has gone, as well as radio snippets to the same effect, before the toy eventually deactivates. Pressing any button will bring him back online with a cheerful shout.

: Transforming the toy between modes is accompanied by the classic transformation noise, and if left unattended between modes, it will make stalling engine noises, car horn and a car alarm sounds. Once in car mode, new electronics are unlocked, beginning with the sound of an engine starting up. The chest button now activates the car's horn, and rolling the figure along will create an accelerating noise that increases the faster the toy is moved. More unique musical snippets will play as the car rolls along; when the rolling stops, brake lights activate and the tires screech. Yet more sounds are produced when Bumblebee is rolled backwards, and the car mode also features different crashing battle noises to the robot mode.

: All of the toy's features can be turned off by a switch, and it has an additional "Try Me" mode which allows you to hear various sounds from the toy's various functions just by pressing the chest button.

: The toy is mistransformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure made the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block resting on Bumblebee's chest. In reality, it splits up into five separate pieces to fold and collapse into a more movie-like appearance.

: In the holiday season, Wal-Mart carried an exclusive "Bonus Buy" version of the toy, which had the Deluxe [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] toys added as freebies. Costco also carried an exclusive version, with the 3" [[Titanium Series]] version of Bumblebee packed in. However, it did not include the display stand.

{{-}}
*'''Ultimate Bumblebee bonus pack''' (Costco exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:''

:A Costco-exclusive special pack of Ultimate Bumblebee with Titanium Series Bumblebee (see below) as a bonus figure. Neither toy is changed from its respective original release.

{{-}}
*'''Ultimate Bumblebee Bonus Value pack''' (Wal*Mart exclusive multi-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:''

:A Wal*Mart-exclusive special pack of Ultimate Bumblebee with Deluxe Class [[Brawl (Movie)|Decepticon Brawl]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] as bonus figures. None of the three toys are changed from their respective original releases.

{{-}}
====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:Bumblebeemoviefab.jpg|right|250px|thumb| Fast and actiony.. you know, for the kids!]]
*'''Plasma Punch Bumblebee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:[[Fast Action Battler|Fast Action Battlers]] Bumblebee transforms from concept Camaro to robot with a considerably simpler transformation than the standard deluxe toy, intended for the slightly younger set. His main "gimmick" is a spring-loaded missile launcher in his right arm. As is also the case with Ultimate Bumblebee, the toy is mistransformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure make the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block. In reality, the chest/bumper consists of two rotating pieces which can pivot down so as to more accurately emulate the appearance in the movie.

{{-}}

*'''Rally Rocket Bumblebee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:A [[repaint]] of Plasma Punch Bumblebee. It transforms from concept Camaro to robot with a simple transformation. The right arm is a spring loaded missile launcher. As is also the case with the original [[Fast Action Battlers]] Bumblebee, the hood is presented as a solid brick.

====Cyber Slammers toys====
[[Image:Bumblebeemoviecyberslammer.jpg|right|250px|thumb|A Battlecharger for the new millennium.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Classic Camaro Cyber Slammer, 2007)

: Cyber Slammers Bumblebee is an amazingly cute 1976 Camaro that transforms into an amazingly cute Autobot buddy of human characters. "Slam" his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along for a while, then snaps back up into robot mode.

: This toy was also made available during the 2007 holiday season as a freebie "Bonus Buy" packaged with Cyber Stompin' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] at Wal-Mart stores.

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Bumblebee CamaroConcept CyberSlammer.jpg|right|250px|thumb|And so, Bumblebee rejoins the Throttlebots.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Concept Camaro Cyber Slammer, 2007)

:The second [[Cyber Slammers]] Bumblebee figure toy transforms into a Concept Camaro and shares no parts with the previous Cyber Slammers Bumblebee figure. Like all Cyber Slammers, the toy features motorized action. When you push down on the car, it zooms forward, then pops up into robot mode! Sure to please the toddler you brought with you to the PG-13 movie. Like most Cyber Slammers, Bumblebee manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

: This toy was later redecoed into [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]].

====Trans-Scanning====
[[Image:Movie TranScanning Bumblebee toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|whY mY SHoUlDeRs hUrT?(Now I know how Hot Shot feels)]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[Trans-scan|Trans-scanning]] Bumblebee is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a "Core Body". To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Bumblebee: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of golden plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This golden-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Bumblebee's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of nineteen armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a Camaro Concept.

: Bumblebee also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]] figure.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Cyber Stompin' Robots, 2007)

: [[Cyber Stompin' Robots]] Bee is a large electronic action figure, featuring a rather cutified design. He's got electronic lights and sounds up the whazzoo and fires missiles and a fist. He totally plays the original theme song.

: Later in the year, Wal-Mart stores sold this toy as a "Bonus Buy" item, which came with a free Cyber Slammer [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] attached to the box back.

====Robot Replicas====

*'''Bumblebee''' (Robot Replicas, 2007)

: As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] sub-line, this version of concept-Camaro Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure that hews very close to the movie's CGI model. It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, plus his right forearm can be replaced with his blaster-arm (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins). For some reason, he's closer to orange than his normal yellow.

: Made by [[RadioShack]] under license from [[Hasbro]] and [[Dreamworks]]. The three-function infrared remote, in Bumblebee's signature colors, gives you control of the car with forward and reverse turn movement. More than just a car styled after the Movie character, the car also transforms to robot mode. The top of the gun-shaped IR remote's barrel serves as a display stand. The tip of the gun barrel can also be unscrewed, revealing a pen (!) inside.

: This Bumblebee is a three-inch tall painted mini-statue of his 1976 Camaro body form. He features die-cast in his torso and thighs, and he has swivel joints at the shoulders, head and waist. Oh, and he comes with a Movie-style Autobot logo base to stand on.

: This item was also packed in with Ultimate Bumblebee as a Costco-exclusive set.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:Released as part of the preview series of figures for [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen's toyline]] alongside [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], Bumblebee is a retool of the Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold, feature a new vehicle front end, hood and wheels to reflect the changes to the prop vehicle used in the movie; and in robot mode has a new, more accurate headsculpt. His right arm has been retooled to accommodate a built-in spring-loaded plasma cannon, replacing the converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version of this mold. Don't look at his eyes for too long, you'll have nightmares.

:Strangely, the missile for his right arm is slightly too long for the slot in the arm itself, so it either has to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon must be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. (This has been fixed in later releases, such as the European market). Also, instead of having movie accurate gray colored "toe" sections on his feet like the later 2007 figures, his toes are ''painted'' yellow ...on top of yellow plastic. Oookay...

[[Image:ROTFtoy-CannonBumblebee.jpg|right|thumb|300px|New from the ass up!]]
*'''Cannon Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-14'''

:This extensive retool of Bumblebee changes the entire upper half of the robot mode, and thus half of the car, to newly designed parts, including more articulated arms with open palms, less obstructive vehicle [[kibble]], a differently transforming chest, and two flip-out (non-firing) missile launcher racks behind his head. Only the legs remain unaltered from the original version of the mold. Interestingly, his arms can be detached and easily popped onto the original mold, resulting in a more [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] robot mode, though this sacrifices transformation. This extensive retooling results in a car interior with seats and a crude dashboard, but the windows are so opaque that these new details can't easily be seen. A variant with clear blue windows was released in later shipments.

:His "heels" are assembled backwards, which keeps them from being folded up against the back of the shins. Disappointingly, his chest cannot deform like the previous releases of this mold (or his Fast Action Battler, which still has a deforming chest).

====Human Alliance====
[[Image:ROTF HumanAlliance Bumblebee%26Sam.jpg|right|300px|thumb|NOT a headmaster.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' / '''Sam Witwicky''' (Human Alliance, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-21'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 Missiles

:Human Alliance Bumblebee comes with a posable figure of [[Sam Witwicky]] that can fit inside in Bumblebee's vehicle mode (plugging into his seat via a small hole in his back) and drive him. In robot mode, Bumblebee's vehicle-mode seats end up on his arms, and Sam can sit in either of them; the seat on Bumblebee's right has a headrest that can fold down to look slightly less conspicuous in robot mode, while the seat on Bumblebee's left arm features a pair of cannons which flip over Sam's shoulders, offering him some offensive hardware to protect his rather precarious position. Sam can also stand on a platform that flips out from the small of Bumblebee's back (again, via peg-holes on his feet), manning a small non-firing cannon that flips out over Bumblebee's right shoulder. Finally, Bumblebee's left palm also contains a peg, meaning Sam can securely stand or sit in his big buddy's hand. Bumblebee himself features a spring-loaded cannon for his left arm, which can fire the two missiles the figure comes with, a flip-out double-barreled silver cannon that points over his head, and a functional flip-down battle mask. Much like the rest of his Human Alliance brethren, Bumblebee is roughly the same size as an ''[[Alternators]]'' toy, being slightly taller than ''Alternators'' [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] in robot mode.

[[Image:Human Alliance Bumblebee Prototype.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Modders, vindicated by the prototype.]]
:There is a significant [[misassembly]] issue with Bumblebee: according to TakaraTomy's images of the resin [[prototype]] as well as Bumblebee's CG design, the retail toy's legs are on the wrong sides of his body, so the details on his legs are inverted. Since the instructions reflect this assembly, it's possible that this was [[design change|done on purpose]] because with the toy in its originally intended assembly, the waist section could be rather difficult to transform for children. The toy's originally intended assembly can still be [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/243649-human-alliance-bumblebee-leg-mod.html easily achieved by disassembling his crotch and reassembling the legs backwards.] Once this is complete, Bumblebee will look the way he was intended to look, while adding some minor extra steps during transformation.

====Ultimate====

*''' Ultimate Bumblebee Battle Charged''' (Ultimate, 2009)

:''Revenge of the Fallen's'' Ultimate Bumblebee is a retool of the 2007 version, with new rims, hood, front fenders. He also features a new, more accurate head sculpt with a battle mask. This time, his sound chip plays [[Stan Bush]]'s "[[The Touch]]".

:Pulse Blast Bumblebee is a retool of 2007's Plasma Punch Bumblebee, with updated vehicle mode parts to reflect the changes in the prop Camaro vehicle, along with a new, more accurate head sculpt. Like the 2007's Plasma Punch photo, stock photographs by Hasbro neglect to tilt the car front fender panels.

====Gravity Bots====
[[Image:ROTF GravityBot Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|300px| The evolution of Jumpstarters!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Gravity Bot, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GB-02'''

:Plonk him down. Lift him up. Plonk him down. Lift him up. This addictive toy transforms automatically when stood up (vehicle to robot), or placed on his back (robot to vehicle). A switch underneath his feet or his car mode releases the transformation -- so the toy can be played with in relatively stable modes if held in the air, or just rolling along the ground.

:Because gravity is the powering force in the transformation there's no motors to wear out or batteries to use up when playing with the toy. Which is good, because you will be transforming him no less than nine million times.

:Bumblebee features dumpy proportions and low movie accuracy (no door wings here), forced upon the toy to accommodate the [[Gravity Bot]]s transformation gimmick. His robot mode has no articulation, not even head. But at least he has big feet! Or legs... or whatever the heck they are. Stump? At least he has a big stump.

*'''Battle Blade Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-02'''

:This entirely new Deluxe class Bumblebee features a much more accurate sculpt in robot mode compared to previous versions of Deluxe class Camaro Concept Bumblebee, with the transformation scheme taking many cues from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Human Alliance Bumblebee, scaled down to Deluxe size, while using an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] design for the leg transformation directly based on the original Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee. Despite the very similar looks, Battle Blade Bumblebee uses no parts from previous toys, everything about him is an entirely new sculpt.

:His right hand can be switched out for his cannon by opening the arm guard, flipping out the cannon barrel, folding away the right hand and folding the cannon over to the wrist. Due to how the parts were distributed on the plastic sprues during production, the cannon barrel is yellow rather than grey. The left arm-guard has a flip-out axe made of transluscent blue plastic, representing the axe weapon Bumblebee uses in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video games]], which itself is possibly based upon the electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] that was once considered as a melee weapon for Bumblebee in the first movie. The axe is spring-loaded, activated by a button on his arm-guard. This version of Movie Bumblebee also features a flip-down battle mask, very similar to Human Alliance Bumblebee. In other words, pure premium awesome-sauce.

:Stock photos show that the axe was originally made in such a way that the blade was mounted on a rod and could be rotated downwards, but this was changed entirely for unknown reasons (possibly fragility). As a result, the blade is mounted upside-down.

:The Japanese ''Autobot Alliance'' release features marginally darker yellow plastic and paint.

The windows are cast in transparent green plastic with green trim and the outsides of his arms are also painted green. Additionally, there is a green stripe running across and between the fenders on each side with green accents on the face and helmet as well. The face has been painted silver and lacks the pupils of the previous deco. His thumbs are now black and the tailpipes have been painted gunmetal. The tiny Autobot symbol by the driver's side door has been replaced with a larger white one on the right rear window. He came packaged with a Legends [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] redeco.

*'''Rampage Among The Ruins''' (Toys "R" Us Exclusive 3-pack, 2010)

:Essentially a redeco of "Bombing Run Battle" Bumblebee (using the same shade of yellow plastic) but using the head of the NEST 2-pack Bumblebee head. All of the green parts have been replaced with a chocolate brown including the tires with brown stripes over his eyes which run across the top of his battle helmet. The thumbs and insides of his upper arms are also painted brown. The windows are clear and untinted. He has a brown "wash" over his lower arms and on his doors probably to simulate caked on dirt or mud. There are also silver "scratches" on both doors as well as the driver's side of the hood. He has a tiny black-on-white Autobot symbol on his lower abdomen. Unlike previous versions of this mold, the rear lights, tailpipes, and lower front headlights are unpainted. Bumblebee was packaged with redecoes of [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] and [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] and available exclusively Toys "R" Us stores.

===='''Bumblebee Voice Changer'''====

[[Image:ROTF Bumblebee VoiceChanger.jpg|right|150px|thumb|A Voice Changer Helmet for a character who has no voice and talks through the radio.]]

*''Parts:'' Antennas(l+r), Side pieces (l+r), Helmet top, Adjustable straps (pre-installed), Battery cover (pre-installed), Switch retainer (red!), AAA batteries (3), Helmet.
:The Bumblebee voice changer helmet, much like the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Optimus_Prime_Voice_Changer|Optimus Prime helmet from 2007]], is a detailed helmet designed to... uhh... change your voice. Oh! And to make your head look like a highly detailed, and movie accurate replicate of Bumblebee. The helmet is nearly fully enclosed around the head, unlike the Prime helmet, and is adjustable so it can be sized to fit adults and children. The helmet is really, really yellow.

:The helmet features three different buttons, the ''voice mixer'', ''battle phrases'' and ''conversion sounds'' buttons.

:The ''voice mixer'' button makes the helmet modulate your voice and play wicked beats at the same time so you can get down with your bad self. The ''battle phrases'' are meant to sound like random radio mixing, but really sound like a couple of guys in a studio yelling at a microphone with silly voices. Enjoy fun phrases like, "You are no match for my new kung fu!" in a delightfully bad Chop Socky voice! However, there are at least a few radio voice clips from the actual movie. The ''conversion sounds'' button plays the transforming sound, or if you hold the button down plays the transforming sound as if it were being remixed live by a DJ on a turntable. Okay, y'know... like with a baby scratch or a backwards loop or something.

:The helmet has three play modes. There's ''demo'', ''on'' and the parents' favourite, ''off''. The helmet comes packaged in the ''demo'' mode with a ''switch retainer'' to keep it there. You'll need to take that sucker off to put him in the all important ''on'' mode. But don't throw it out! It's a really pretty red.

:In order to avoid language barriers, the European version doesn't play battle phrases. However, later releases did feature voiceclips.

[[Image:ROTF Bumblebee PlasmaCannon.jpg|right|250px|thumb| FIGHTING TO SAVE THE WORLD!]]
*'''Bumblebee Plasma Cannon''' (2009)
: The Plasma Cannon is a stylized version of Bumblebee's fist that converts to a plasma cannon roleplay toy when the barrel is slid forward or the trigger is pulled. When fired, a ring of red lights around the barrel flashes (totally awesome). If the trigger is only pulled half-way, a "charging" sound is made. There is also an Autobot sigil on the side that, when pressed, causes sound effects to be heard. These include conversion noises, a revving engine, and clips from [[Stan Bush]]'s "[[The Touch]]" (also awesome, but only in the "Try Me" setting, which is not quite as awesome).

:This [[Burger King]] toy is a representation of Bumblebee's concept Camaro vehicle form; though Bumblebee's four wheels are molded in, he has three extra wheels underneath to provide the ability to roll out. Pressing a button on his roof will play a sound clip of the [[Transformation#The_noise|G1 transformation sound effect]] and a small projectile will be launched from his front grill.

==Notes==
[[Image:ROTF Legends Bumblebee HTS.jpg|thumb|200px|Are you calling me yellow? ... wait.]]
* A weapon considered for Bumblebee was a pair of arm-mounted electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stingers]]. The Bumblebee Camaro '09 toy's blade weapon might have been influenced by this early concept.
*Stock photos of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends-class Bumblebee toy show it in a much brighter shade of yellow plastic than it was released as. The reason for this change is unknown.
*Battle Blades Bumblebee is, so far, the most accurate transforming movie Bumblebee to date.

Wreck-Gar (G1)

2011-03-20T07:22:50Z

98.145.233.162: /* Transformers (2010) */

{{factions|autobot}}
{{disambigr|Wreck-Gar|the garbage truck from ''Transformers Animated''|Wreck-Gar (Animated)}}
{{featured}}

:''Wreck-Gar is an [[Autobot]]-allied [[Junkion (species)|Junkion]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:GenesisArtofTransformers-WreckGar.jpg|right|400px|thumb|Happy motoring. Cock-a-doodle-doo!]]

'''Wreck-Gar''' is a product of his environment. Unfortunately, this environment is the [[Junkion (planet)|Planet of Junkion]], a distant world of trash which is bombarded by old [[Earth]] television broadcasts. Not only is Wreck-Gar's mismatched body collected from the detritus around him, but his mind is an equally mismatched hodgepodge of Earthling pop culture. These humans' cheesy slogans and sales pitches from decades past form the patchwork of Wreck-Gar's scatterbrained personality.

It is with this demeanor that Wreck-Gar leads the Junkions, a tribe (or possibly race) of junk-robot [[Transformer]]s who inhabit his world. Despite the pop culture of his race being derived from strangers light years away, Wreck-Gar can be strongly xenophobic towards intruders. Thankfully, this attitude is easily broken, and once he befriends you, he will be a selfless ally. He oversees his people's daily activities of "sorting" through their planet's collection of scrap, though what basis they use to sort the material has yet to be identified. He seems to have some sort of relationship with a Junkion lady named [[Nancy]].

In battle, Wreck-Gar is easy to knock down, but near-impossible to ''keep'' down, thanks to the unique physiology of the Junkions. He tends to lose pieces easily when he takes damage, but he can repair that damage with lightning speed, and it's possible that even if he's reduced to a pile of parts it's only a short time before he's back on his feet again swinging his axe. This rapid-healing ability reaches almost instantaneous speed on his home planet of Junk, or anywhere he can get his hands on scrap metal.

Steadfast and dependable, powerful and unexpectedly wise, Wreck-Gar reveals himself to be much more than the sum of his parts.

When a ship crash-landed on the planet of Junk, Wreck-Gar at first viewed the invaders as thieves and enemies. But he and his Junkions chose not to engage them immediately, and kept out of sight while other invaders attacked and destroyed the initial group's [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|leader]]. This moment of weakness was when Wreck-Gar chose to attack. After getting the invaders on the run, Wreck-Gar fought [[Springer (G1)|one of them]] for a while, cornering him, before [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|one of the smaller, squishier invaders]] took him out with an I-beam to the back of the head.

Wreck-Gar came to just as more invaders arrived: [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], [[Kup (G1)|Kup]], [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. After some explanations and introductions, Wreck-Gar and his Junkions were pacified with the [[universal greeting]]. After Wreck-Gar ordered the Junkions rebuilt Ultra Magnus, their fallen leader, he joined forces with these "Autobots" in their quest to destroy the planet-eater, [[Unicron]], once and for all. With the press of a few buttons, Wreck-Gar unleashed [[Minnow|a ship]] from underneath the wreckage of his planet of junk, suitable for escorting his new comrades to the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], where Unicron was headed next.

[[Image:TFTM-WreckGarbang.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Get it on, bang a gong.]]

The Junkions, like pretty much everyone else, didn't fare well against Unicron. Their ship managed to last longer than most in the battle, proving to be highly resistant to Unicron's fire-breath (due in part certainly to the Junkions' rapid-repair skills), but was ultimately crushed by Unicron's hand.

Wreck-Gar survived, as did their travel mate [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], appearing with the rest of Rodimus Prime's Autobot team on Cybertron after Unicron's destruction. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

On the planet [[Goo]], Rodimus and Ultra Magnus communicated with Wreck-Gar using a two-way TV. Surprised at the sight of his kemosabes being healthy on a dangerous planet like Goo, he was nonetheless capable of striking up a deal with Rodimus. During a battle with Galvatron and the Quintessons, Wreck-Gar was able to control the planet so that it would suck the Autobots into safety while rejecting their enemies. After that, he calmed [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] by reviving a previously-disassembled Springer faster than snap, crackle, pop. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}

[[Image:KillingJar-WreckGar_Negative.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Wreck-Gar gave himself a new paint job in anticipation of G2. Alas, it was not meant to be.]]

Tricked into boarding a Quintesson scientist's ship (disguised as a junky television shuttle), Wreck-Gar was placed into a completely sterile room. The Quintesson speculated that being removed from the messiest place in the universe and put in a clean room would send Wreck-Gar into a fetal position of shock and despair; instead, Wreck-Gar tore the room apart until it resembled the surface of Junk, then sat down on a large chunk of metal, happily proclaiming "Home sweet home!" He then met his fellow study subjects: [[Ultra Magnus (G1)| Ultra Magnus]], [[Cyclonus (G1)| Cyclonus]], and [[Marissa Faireborn]]. When the ship was caught in an electron storm, Wreck-Gar fired his detachable hand at the cell controls, disabling the bars, then battled the Quintessons' bodyguard, losing his weapon-arm in the process (which he easily fixed). However, the ship was caught in the grip of a black hole, and Wreck-Gar was part of an escape pod scuffle that left everyone stranded on the ship as it was pulled into a [[negative universe]]. He then used some of his components, along with ones from the other Transformers, to fix the ship and allow them to escape the black hole.

He is one of the few beings in the galaxy who likes [[Lippo the Clown|clowns]]. {{storylink|The Killing Jar}}

[[Image:Chaos-WreckGar_Junk.jpg|thumb|right|210px|"What do you see here, my friends?" "A hunk of garbage." "A ''glorious'' hunk of garbage!"]]

Wreck-Gar interrupted one of Kup's stories to inform him of a calamity on Goo, to Grimlock's confusion and frustration. When they arrived, Wreck-Gar pointed the Autobots to a destroyed [[Earth Defense Command]] station and said that a lot of things have landed on the planet lately. Though [[Runamuck (G1)|Runamuck]] and [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]] swooped down to attack, Wreck-Gar and the others made their getaway inside Sky Lynx. Arriving on [[Dread]], Wreck-Gar helped fight off the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] that were menacing Kup, and then shot at Galvatron's forces with the other Autobots. While they did this, Kup was able to defeat [[Chaos (alien)|the monster]] inhabiting Dread, causing a volcanic eruption in the process. Wreck-Gar and his comrades boarded Sky Lynx and flew off... but he was not pleased at the prospect of Kup telling another one of his stories on the way back. {{storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}}

Joining [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], [[Rewind]], [[Ramhorn (G1)|Ramhorn]], and [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] on a mission to examine strange chronal energy readings in an asteroid belt, Wreck-Gar got more than he bargained for when they were attacked by a legion of [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticon]]s. After chopping apart his fair share of the brutes, he was accidentally sent back in time nine million years along with everyone except Perceptor, to when the [[Quintesson]]s ruled Cybertron. After fleeing from a [[guardian robot]] and teaming up with a rebel Autobot group, Wreck-Gar aided the others in their attack on the Quintessons' base, which would have ended in their untimely demise if [[Alpha Trion (G1)|A-3]] had not returned to the past and deactivated the Guardians, forcing the Quintessons to flee. The time-displaced Autobots then returned to their proper era. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

[[Image:Nancy2006.jpg|thumb|left|190px|One lucky robot.]]

One day, Wreck-Gar was watching television with his [[Nancy|lady friend]], but little did they know that Quintessons were spying on them. Wreck-Gar and his Junkions forced off the Quintessons and their Sharkticon pawns, but the Quintessons, aware of Wreck-Gar's love for television, inserted subliminal messages into his programs. These messages managed to convince him and his species to clean the planet and attack all other life forms, Autobot and Decepticon included. Now the centerpiece of their master plan, the hypnotized Wreck-Gar sent a Quintesson broadcast throughout the galaxy, causing tension between all forms of life that now refused to accept each other. Blaster was able to counter the transmissions with some of his own, and Wreck-Gar returned to the Autobots' side. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (episode)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

[[Image:DwellerinDepths-WreckGar_Vampire.jpg|thumb|right|170px|[[Simon Belmondo|What a horrible night to have a curse!]]]]

Wreck-Gar followed Galvatron down an old shaft with a team of other Autobots when the Decepticon came to Cybertron looking for Perceptor's new power core. They only found an array of mutants, whom the Autobots soundly fought off. They were unprepared for what came next; a [[Dweller|colossal beast]] that trapped Ultra Magnus. Wreck-Gar saved Magnus with his axe while yelling [[G.I. Joe (team)|a familiar battle cry]], but got himself caught in the process. Wreck-Gar bemoaned his fate as the Dweller drained him of his energy. The angered Springer managed to recover his friend's body, but he discovered that Wreck-Gar had now become an [[energy vampire]], bent on taking the energy from other beings. Wreck-Gar promptly infected Springer, and later got to many other Transformers (including Scourge and Cyclonus!), and would not stop there. Thinking quickly, Perceptor created an energy imbalance that returned the vampires to their normal states. {{storylink|The Dweller in the Depths}}

During the outbreak of the [[Hate Plague]], [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] summoned Wreck-Gar to attempt to repair [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], but unfortunately, [[Wikipedia:Leonard McCoy|he was dead, Jim]]. Wreck-Gar remained on Earth to assist in trying to stop the hate plague, showing up later to rescue Rodimus from the infected Ultra Magnus, but this quickly proved unsuccessful as Ultra Magnus escaped Wreck-Gar's lasso and infected him. In turn, Wreck-Gar infected Rodimus Prime. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}} His warehouses were overstocked with hate plague priced to move, for a [[The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2|limited time only]].

In 2011, Wreck-Gar was hanging out at Autobot headquarters on Cybertron when Galvatron and his new [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] warriors attacked the planet. He merely pointed out the Decepticons' attack being shown on the telly and (successfully) bossed Grimlock around before running off to try to help anyone who might have fallen and been unable to get up. While Kup and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] were debating the weakness in [[Vector Sigma]], he told them to make sure operators were standing by and darted back off into the hallway, never to be seen again. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}}.

[[Image:BigBroadcastUS-WreckGar.jpg|left|thumb|300px|The best kind of melee weapon is the one that shoots lasers.]]
In a strange alternate future, Wreck-Gar and his [[Nancy|lady]] were interrupted in their television watching by a [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticon]] attack. Wreck-Gar rallied his fellow [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] to repel the invaders. He didn't know that the Sharkticons were sent by the [[Quintesson]]s to look for their [[Quintesson Journal|data canisters]] which, during the fight, was hopelessly lost amongst all the junk. The Quintessons then initiated a new plan which involved beaming a hypnotic signal through the Junkions' televisions. The signal made the Junkions extremely hostile to any foreigners as well as compelling them to meticulously organize their junk. In this way the Quintessons would find the data canister for them. In an encounter with the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s, the hypnotic signal was momentarily altered to compel Wreck-Gar to bounce the signal throughout the galaxy, causing television watchers everywhere to attack their neighbors and travel to [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]].

The Autobots also arrived and successfully disrupted the hypnosis signal. Once freed, Wreck-Gar and his Junkions joined the Autobots in driving the Decepticons off the planet. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (US)}}

====Marvel UK future timelines====
[[Image:Hunters2-WreckGarBumblebee.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Oops, did I do that?]]

After the destruction of [[Unicron]], Wreck-Gar remained on Cybertron for a time and helped the Autobots regain control of the planet while attempting to fend off [[Airborne hunter squad|Decepticon attacks]] under the new command of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. {{storylink|Wanted: Galvatron — Dead or Alive!}} When [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] planned a time-travel adventure to end the threat posed by former Decepticon commander, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], Wreck-Gar decided to come along and leapt into the time-jump effect at the last second, causing his landing vector to be significantly displaced away from his fellow traveler's. {{storylink|Burning Sky!}} Stumbling across the deactivated body of [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] by chance, Wreck-Gar put his considerable mechanical talents to work and rebuilt the scrapped Autobot into a new form as [[Bumblebee (G1)|Goldbug]]. The two then joined Wreck-Gar's allies and the present-day [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] in an attempt to stop Galvatron's schemes. {{storylink|Hunters}} Wreck-Gar managed to get a hold of Galvatron's [[Time-jump mechanism|time jump trigger device]], and planned to jury rig the device to send all the time-travelers permanently back to 2007. His recalibrations failed, though, and the Autobots returned to the future while Galvatron remained in the past. {{storylink|Fire on High!}}

Still, Wreck-Gar had proven himself a worthy ally, and Rodimus gave him an official escort back to the planet of Junk and his people. Upon arriving home, however, Wreck-Gar stumbled into a plot by the Dark God himself, Unicron, to co-opt the planet Junk as a new body. It seems Unicron's head had blown free when his original body was destroyed by the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] and had drifted into range of the planetoid. Unicron's vast mental powers had enabled him to enslave the entire Junkion people, and Wreck-Gar was forced to "cancel" [[Scrapheap (G1)|one of his fellow Junkions]] while making his escape, an act for which he swore Unicron would pay dearly. After escaping another of Unicron's mind-pawns, named [[Death's Head (G1)|Death's Head]], Wreck-Gar gathered a large quantity of explosives directly underneath Unicron's head and set them to blow. He managed to destroy what was left of Unicron's body just as Rodimus Prime contained the Chaos-Bringer's living essence within the confines of the Matrix, ending his threat for the moment. {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}}

[[Image:BigBroadcastUK-WreckGar.jpg|left|thumb|300px|LUBUFF!]]

Sometime later, by sheer cosmic chance, Wreck-Gar came into possession of a [[Quintesson Journal]], a message canister containing details of their plans to leave the dying planet Quintessa and colonize other mechanical worlds, including Cybertron. When he attempted to bring this information to Rodimus Prime and the Autobots, Wreck-Gar was intercepted en route by the Quintessons and taken captive. [[Mister Regan|They]] tried to torture the location of the canister out of him, but all they got was [[The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|total nonsense]]. Managing to escape, Wreck-Gar hooked up with an Autobot spy named [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], and the two of them blasted off from Quintessa. After eluding his pursuers, Wreck-Gar met up with [[Scrapheap (G1)|some of]] [[Junkyard (G1)|his fellow Junkions]] and rigged the message cannister so that its contents were broadcast across the universe. Instantly, all the potential colony worlds were alerted and forewarned of the possibility of a Quintesson invasion, and overnight the Quintessons became one of the most hated and hunted races in all the galaxies, throwing all their future plans into turmoil. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

When an [[Autobot shuttle]] was forced to land on [[Junkion (planet)|The Junk Planet]] for repairs, [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] caught the attention of Wreck-Gar. Wreck-Gar was impressed by Blurr's powerful engine...and decided he wanted it! He attacked the Autobots with a horde of Junkions, intent on hacking the still-sputtering engine from Blurr's body, and fought [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] in the process.

The misunderstanding came to an end when [[Kup (G1)|Kup]], an old hand at negotiating with natives, located their missing shuttle and instead engaged the Junkions in a barter session, trading weapons and energon. The Junkions waved as their new friends departed with all their parts intact. {{storylink|Battle on the Junk Planet}}

As the Autobots attempted to repel a [[Sixshot]]-led Decepticon attack, Wreck-Gar rushed up to [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] with the news that [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] was attacking the energon plant. He led the Autobot leader there, but they were too late — the [[Nullification Cannon]] had destroyed the energon stocks. A while later, [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] returned from [[Tau-Ursa]] with a [[Logicon]] recording revealing the location of [[Metascan Alpha]], a storehouse of energon. Wreck-Gar was present at its playing, and subsequently fought off two Decepticon spies, the [[Clone (subgroup)|Clone]]s. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

Wreck-Gar found the chassis of the near-dead [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] floating in space, where he had been abandoned by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], while on a supply run. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}} Wreck-Gar brought Megatron back on-line and even salvaged several [[Aerospace Extermination Squadron]] drone bodies from the surface of Junk for him so he could reclaim his position as leader of the Decepticons. For Wreck-Gar's efforts, Megatron stabbed him through the chest. {{storylink|Runnin' with the Devil}}

===Collect and Save===
When the [[Recyclon]]s arrived on Junk, intending to convert the planet into energon for their overseers, the [[Harvest Lords of Sigrath]], Wreck-Gar approached the leader, [[Salvage (Recyclon)|Salvage]], and got two blaster bolts in the chest. After a near-instantaneous repair job, Wreck-Gar called out his fellows and swarmed the Recyclons, severely damaging them and forcing them to retreat to their ship, the ''[[Reclamation]]'', and lift off.

Salvage returned to the planet's surface, leaving the ''Reclamation'' in orbit, in order to make peace with Wreck-Gar. But it was all a ruse; Salvage slapped a device on Wreck-Gar, a more powerful version of the Junkion leader's own decelerator laser, preventing him from attacking or calling his people while the orbiting Recyclons fired a beam from the [[Prime Processing Unit]] to convert the planet to energon from space. However, Wreck-Gar proved even stronger than Salvage expected, and he called the Junkions to fire a tractor beam at the ''Reclamation'', sending it crashing into Junk seconds before the Prime Processing Unit activated, causing the ship to explode. Salvage himself lived only a few seconds more than his fellows, as the Junkions closed in on him immediately afterwards. {{storylink|Collect and Save}}

**''Japanese ID number'': '''C-81'''
**''Accessories'': "[[Decelerator laser]]" gun, "Armor Axe"

: Wreck-Gar's first (and for decades, only) toy transforms into a Cybertronic "junk" motorcycle, and is noteworthy for being one of the earliest uses of ball-and-socket joints in the ''Transformers'' toy line. As his fists become the axle for his front wheel, his two weapons can be mounted there in motorcycle mode.

: Unfortunately, two Wreck-Gar toys are completely incapable of riding one another (without some form of customization), unlike the action depicted in the movie.

*'''Wreck-Gar''' (Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories'': "4-bladed battle axe"/tailpipe

: Part of the sixth wave of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toyline]], Wreck-Gar transforms from a ''Road Warrior''-esque motorcycle into an asymmetrical robot with [[facial hair]], a grin, and an axe. His exhaust pipe and rear hubcap detach (via a [[C joint|clip joint]]) and unfold to become his axe weapon. As part of the [[Reveal the Shield]] subline, Wreck-Gar features a [[rubsign]]. The front tire is mounted on a balljoint, allowing it to pivot downward and serve as a shield in robot mode. It can peg onto his elbow in this position, but doing so limits articulation.

: One Wreck-Gar can totally ride another (or other toy based on the same mold) in the style seen in the movie! Double pegs under his pelvis correspond to sockets in his vehicle-mode seat. Further, a peg on his left ankle, and a socket on his right ankle, connect to appropriate spots on the vehicle-mode, securing his feet as well.

: The [[:Image:OriginalRtSWreck-Gar.jpg|original Hasbro stock photography of ''Reveal the Shield'' Wreck-Gar]] showed him with red parts, similar to his animation model and the TakaraTomy release. However, by the time the figure came out at retail, all of his red parts became brown. A set of updated stock photography (as seen on the official Hasbro website) was done to match this change.

: There's an automorph in his right leg. Pulling up on the gas tank causes his handlebars to be dislodged and moved to the side. Do NOT unhinge the handlebars manually. Moving the handlebars manually creates stress points and has had many reported instances of broken handlebars.

: This mold was [[retool]]ed into ''[[United (toyline)|United]]'' [[Scrapheap (G1)|Scrapheap]], and a third potential remold is hinted at in his instructions.

: Part of the third wave of ''[[United (toyline)|United]]'', [[TakaraTomy]]'s version of Wreck-Gar is a [[redeco]] of the [[Hasbro]] release in (surprise!) a much brighter, more cartoon-inspired deco. This version has a ''lot'' more red, the flames dropped from his chest, his helmet in a lighter color, many additional paint applications, and numerous other color shifts.

**''Accessories'': Stand

: A "[[super deformed]]" mini-figure of Wreck-Gar was created as part of the second wave of [[MyClone]] Transformers in Japan. These toys could be disassembled and their parts mixed-and-matched thanks to a generic base body. In Wreck-Gar's case, this is especially appropriate.

* Given the above quote, we're going to take a painful leap to the conclusion that Wreck-Gar was named after the famed newspaper comic strip Viking, [http://www.kingfeatures.com/features/comics/hagar/about.htm Ha'''Gar''' the Horrible.]
* Like the rest of the central ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' cast, Wreck-Gar had a (ridiculously overdetailed) preliminary [[character model]] by [[Floro Dery]] that was revised by Japanese artists before final animation. And just like the rest of the central movie cast, that early model was used as a basis for his toy design, and for his Marvel Comics appearances.
* During Wreck-Gar's first appearance in ''The Transformers: The Movie'', his speech pattern was a mashup of contemporary pop culture catchphrases, each line taking from a multitude of sources and scrambled together to make a (somewhat) coherent new statement. ("Don't look behind Door Number Two, Monty! It's time to play 'End of the Line, My Valentine'! Geroni-oo-run-run-ronimooooo!") In Wreck-Gar's subsequent appearances, however, writers seemed content to give him unaltered lines from television and movies. ("I'm a pepper! Wouldn't you like to be a pepper, too?")
* Of course, in Wreck-Gar's [[Marvel UK]] appearances, he repeats local British pop culturisms. ("That's Blockbusters!" and "Jim'll fix it!")
* For nearly 20 years, Wreck-Gar was the ''only'' Junkion toy, until the creation of the [[e-Hobby]] exclusive [[Detritus]].
* A motorcycle based on Wreck-Gar makes a brief [[easter egg]] appearance in the ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Transformers Animated]]'' episode "[[Garbage In, Garbage Out]]". Wreck-Gar's [[Wreck-Gar (Animated)|''Animated'' counterpart]] throws it at [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] in a fit of misguided helpfulness.

[[Image:GenesisArtofTransformers-WreckGar.jpg|right|400px|thumb|Happy motoring. Cock-a-doodle-doo!]]

'''Wreck-Gar''' is a product of his environment. Unfortunately, this environment is the [[Junkion (planet)|Planet of Junkion]], a distant world of trash which is bombarded by old [[Earth]] television broadcasts. Not only is Wreck-Gar's mismatched body collected from the detritus around him, but his mind is an equally mismatched hodgepodge of Earthling pop culture. These humans' cheesy slogans and sales pitches from decades past form the patchwork of Wreck-Gar's scatterbrained personality.

It is with this demeanor that Wreck-Gar leads the Junkions, a tribe (or possibly race) of junk-robot [[Transformer]]s who inhabit his world. Despite the pop culture of his race being derived from strangers light years away, Wreck-Gar can be strongly xenophobic towards intruders. Thankfully, this attitude is easily broken, and once he befriends you, he will be a selfless ally. He oversees his people's daily activities of "sorting" through their planet's collection of scrap, though what basis they use to sort the material has yet to be identified. He seems to have some sort of relationship with a Junkion lady named [[Nancy]].

In battle, Wreck-Gar is easy to knock down, but near-impossible to ''keep'' down, thanks to the unique physiology of the Junkions. He tends to lose pieces easily when he takes damage, but he can repair that damage with lightning speed, and it's possible that even if he's reduced to a pile of parts it's only a short time before he's back on his feet again swinging his axe. This rapid-healing ability reaches almost instantaneous speed on his home planet of Junk, or anywhere he can get his hands on scrap metal. Wreck-Gar wields, in addition to his energy axe, a [[decelerator laser]] that can bring the cerebral activity of its victim to a lumbering halt.

Steadfast and dependable, powerful and unexpectedly wise, Wreck-Gar reveals himself to be much more than the sum of his parts.

Wreck-Gar came to just as more invaders arrived: [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], [[Kup (G1)|Kup]], [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. After some explanations and introductions, Wreck-Gar and his Junkions were pacified with the [[universal greeting]]. After Wreck-Gar ordered the Junkions rebuilt Ultra Magnus, their fallen leader, he joined forces with these "Autobots" in their quest to destroy the planet-eater, [[Unicron]], once and for all. With the press of a few buttons, Wreck-Gar unleashed [[Minnow|a ship]] from underneath the wreckage of his planet of junk, suitable for escorting his new comrades to the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], where Unicron was headed next.

[[Image:TFTM-WreckGarbang.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Get it on, bang a gong.]]

The Junkions, like pretty much everyone else, didn't fare well against Unicron. Their ship managed to last longer than most in the battle, proving to be highly resistant to Unicron's fire-breath (due in part certainly to the Junkions' rapid-repair skills), but was ultimately crushed by Unicron's hand.

Wreck-Gar survived, as did their travel mate [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], appearing with the rest of Rodimus Prime's Autobot team on Cybertron after Unicron's destruction. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

On the planet [[Goo]], Rodimus and Ultra Magnus communicated with Wreck-Gar using a two-way TV. Surprised at the sight of his kemosabes being healthy on a dangerous planet like Goo, he was nonetheless capable of striking up a deal with Rodimus. During a battle with Galvatron and the Quintessons, Wreck-Gar was able to control the planet so that it would suck the Autobots into safety while rejecting their enemies. After that, he calmed [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] by reviving a previously-disassembled Springer faster than snap, crackle, pop. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}

[[Image:KillingJar-WreckGar_Negative.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Wreck-Gar gave himself a new paint job in anticipation of G2. Alas, it was not meant to be.]]

Tricked into boarding a Quintesson scientist's ship (disguised as a junky television shuttle), Wreck-Gar was placed into a completely sterile room. The Quintesson speculated that being removed from the messiest place in the universe and put in a clean room would send Wreck-Gar into a fetal position of shock and despair; instead, Wreck-Gar tore the room apart until it resembled the surface of Junk, then sat down on a large chunk of metal, happily proclaiming "Home sweet home!" He then met his fellow study subjects: [[Ultra Magnus (G1)| Ultra Magnus]], [[Cyclonus (G1)| Cyclonus]], and [[Marissa Faireborn]]. When the ship was caught in an electron storm, Wreck-Gar fired his detachable hand at the cell controls, disabling the bars, then battled the Quintessons' bodyguard, losing his weapon-arm in the process (which he easily fixed). However, the ship was caught in the grip of a black hole, and Wreck-Gar was part of an escape pod scuffle that left everyone stranded on the ship as it was pulled into a [[negative universe]]. He then used some of his components, along with ones from the other Transformers, to fix the ship and allow them to escape the black hole.

He is one of the few beings in the galaxy who likes [[Lippo the Clown|clowns]]. {{storylink|The Killing Jar}}

[[Image:Chaos-WreckGar_Junk.jpg|thumb|right|210px|"What do you see here, my friends?" "A hunk of garbage." "A ''glorious'' hunk of garbage!"]]

Wreck-Gar interrupted one of Kup's stories to inform him of a calamity on Goo, to Grimlock's confusion and frustration. When they arrived, Wreck-Gar pointed the Autobots to a destroyed [[Earth Defense Command]] station and said that a lot of things have landed on the planet lately. Though [[Runamuck (G1)|Runamuck]] and [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]] swooped down to attack, Wreck-Gar and the others made their getaway inside Sky Lynx. Arriving on [[Dread]], Wreck-Gar helped fight off the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] that were menacing Kup, and then shot at Galvatron's forces with the other Autobots. While they did this, Kup was able to defeat [[Chaos (alien)|the monster]] inhabiting Dread, causing a volcanic eruption in the process. Wreck-Gar and his comrades boarded Sky Lynx and flew off... but he was not pleased at the prospect of Kup telling another one of his stories on the way back. {{storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}}

Joining [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], [[Rewind]], [[Ramhorn (G1)|Ramhorn]], and [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] on a mission to examine strange chronal energy readings in an asteroid belt, Wreck-Gar got more than he bargained for when they were attacked by a legion of [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticon]]s. After chopping apart his fair share of the brutes, he was accidentally sent back in time nine million years along with everyone except Perceptor, to when the [[Quintesson]]s ruled Cybertron. After fleeing from a [[guardian robot]] and teaming up with a rebel Autobot group, Wreck-Gar aided the others in their attack on the Quintessons' base, which would have ended in their untimely demise if [[Alpha Trion (G1)|A-3]] had not returned to the past and deactivated the Guardians, forcing the Quintessons to flee. The time-displaced Autobots then returned to their proper era. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

[[Image:Nancy2006.jpg|thumb|left|190px|One lucky robot.]]

One day, Wreck-Gar was watching television with his [[Nancy|lady friend]], but little did they know that Quintessons were spying on them. Wreck-Gar and his Junkions forced off the Quintessons and their Sharkticon pawns, but the Quintessons, aware of Wreck-Gar's love for television, inserted subliminal messages into his programs. These messages managed to convince him and his species to clean the planet and attack all other life forms, Autobot and Decepticon included. Now the centerpiece of their master plan, the hypnotized Wreck-Gar sent a Quintesson broadcast throughout the galaxy, causing tension between all forms of life that now refused to accept each other. Blaster was able to counter the transmissions with some of his own, and Wreck-Gar returned to the Autobots' side. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (episode)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

[[Image:DwellerinDepths-WreckGar_Vampire.jpg|thumb|right|170px|[[Simon Belmondo|What a horrible night to have a curse!]]]]

Wreck-Gar followed Galvatron down an old shaft with a team of other Autobots when the Decepticon came to Cybertron looking for Perceptor's new power core. They only found an array of mutants, whom the Autobots soundly fought off. They were unprepared for what came next; a [[Dweller|colossal beast]] that trapped Ultra Magnus. Wreck-Gar saved Magnus with his axe while yelling [[G.I. Joe (team)|a familiar battle cry]], but got himself caught in the process. Wreck-Gar bemoaned his fate as the Dweller drained him of his energy. The angered Springer managed to recover his friend's body, but he discovered that Wreck-Gar had now become an [[energy vampire]], bent on taking the energy from other beings. Wreck-Gar promptly infected Springer, and later got to many other Transformers (including Scourge and Cyclonus!), and would not stop there. Thinking quickly, Perceptor created an energy imbalance that returned the vampires to their normal states. {{storylink|The Dweller in the Depths}}

During the outbreak of the [[Hate Plague]], [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] summoned Wreck-Gar to attempt to repair [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], but unfortunately, [[Wikipedia:Leonard McCoy|he was dead, Jim]]. Wreck-Gar remained on Earth to assist in trying to stop the hate plague, showing up later to rescue Rodimus from the infected Ultra Magnus, but this quickly proved unsuccessful as Ultra Magnus escaped Wreck-Gar's lasso and infected him. In turn, Wreck-Gar infected Rodimus Prime. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}} His warehouses were overstocked with hate plague priced to move, for a [[The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2|limited time only]].

In 2011, Wreck-Gar was hanging out at Autobot headquarters on Cybertron when Galvatron and his new [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] warriors attacked the planet. He merely pointed out the Decepticons' attack being shown on the telly and (successfully) bossed Grimlock around before running off to try to help anyone who might have fallen and been unable to get up. While Kup and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] were debating the weakness in [[Vector Sigma]], he told them to make sure operators were standing by and darted back off into the hallway, never to be seen again. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}}.

[[Image:BigBroadcastUS-WreckGar.jpg|left|thumb|300px|The best kind of melee weapon is the one that shoots lasers.]]
In a strange alternate future, Wreck-Gar and his [[Nancy|lady]] were interrupted in their television watching by a [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticon]] attack. Wreck-Gar rallied his fellow [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] to repel the invaders. He didn't know that the Sharkticons were sent by the [[Quintesson]]s to look for their [[Quintesson Journal|data canisters]] which, during the fight, was hopelessly lost amongst all the junk. The Quintessons then initiated a new plan which involved beaming a hypnotic signal through the Junkions' televisions. The signal made the Junkions extremely hostile to any foreigners as well as compelling them to meticulously organize their junk. In this way the Quintessons would find the data canister for them. In an encounter with the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s, the hypnotic signal was momentarily altered to compel Wreck-Gar to bounce the signal throughout the galaxy, causing television watchers everywhere to attack their neighbors and travel to [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]].

The Autobots also arrived and successfully disrupted the hypnosis signal. Once freed, Wreck-Gar and his Junkions joined the Autobots in driving the Decepticons off the planet. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (US)}}

{{note|In the UK version of the story, the events of "The Big Broadcast of 2006" are a fabrication invented by Wreck-Gar.}}

====Marvel UK future timelines====
[[Image:Hunters2-WreckGarBumblebee.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Oops, did I do that?]]

After the destruction of [[Unicron]], Wreck-Gar remained on Cybertron for a time and helped the Autobots regain control of the planet while attempting to fend off [[Airborne hunter squad|Decepticon attacks]] under the new command of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. {{storylink|Wanted: Galvatron — Dead or Alive!}} When [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] planned a time-travel adventure to end the threat posed by former Decepticon commander, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], Wreck-Gar decided to come along and leapt into the time-jump effect at the last second, causing his landing vector to be significantly displaced away from his fellow traveler's. {{storylink|Burning Sky!}} Stumbling across the deactivated body of [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] by chance, Wreck-Gar put his considerable mechanical talents to work and rebuilt the scrapped Autobot into a new form as [[Bumblebee (G1)|Goldbug]]. The two then joined Wreck-Gar's allies and the present-day [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] in an attempt to stop Galvatron's schemes. {{storylink|Hunters}} Wreck-Gar managed to get a hold of Galvatron's [[Time-jump mechanism|time jump trigger device]], and planned to jury rig the device to send all the time-travelers permanently back to 2007. His recalibrations failed, though, and the Autobots returned to the future while Galvatron remained in the past. {{storylink|Fire on High!}}

Still, Wreck-Gar had proven himself a worthy ally, and Rodimus gave him an official escort back to the planet of Junk and his people. Upon arriving home, however, Wreck-Gar stumbled into a plot by the Dark God himself, Unicron, to co-opt the planet Junk as a new body. It seems Unicron's head had blown free when his original body was destroyed by the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] and had drifted into range of the planetoid. Unicron's vast mental powers had enabled him to enslave the entire Junkion people, and Wreck-Gar was forced to "cancel" [[Scrapheap (G1)|one of his fellow Junkions]] while making his escape, an act for which he swore Unicron would pay dearly. After escaping another of Unicron's mind-pawns, named [[Death's Head (G1)|Death's Head]], Wreck-Gar gathered a large quantity of explosives directly underneath Unicron's head and set them to blow. He managed to destroy what was left of Unicron's body just as Rodimus Prime contained the Chaos-Bringer's living essence within the confines of the Matrix, ending his threat for the moment. {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}}

[[Image:BigBroadcastUK-WreckGar.jpg|left|thumb|300px|LUBUFF!]]

Sometime later, by sheer cosmic chance, Wreck-Gar came into possession of a [[Quintesson Journal]], a message canister containing details of their plans to leave the dying planet Quintessa and colonize other mechanical worlds, including Cybertron. When he attempted to bring this information to Rodimus Prime and the Autobots, Wreck-Gar was intercepted en route by the Quintessons and taken captive. [[Mister Regan|They]] tried to torture the location of the canister out of him, but all they got was [[The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|total nonsense]]. Managing to escape, Wreck-Gar hooked up with an Autobot spy named [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], and the two of them blasted off from Quintessa. After eluding his pursuers, Wreck-Gar met up with [[Scrapheap (G1)|some of]] [[Junkyard (G1)|his fellow Junkions]] and rigged the message cannister so that its contents were broadcast across the universe. Instantly, all the potential colony worlds were alerted and forewarned of the possibility of a Quintesson invasion, and overnight the Quintessons became one of the most hated and hunted races in all the galaxies, throwing all their future plans into turmoil. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

When an [[Autobot shuttle]] was forced to land on [[Junkion (planet)|The Junk Planet]] for repairs, [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] caught the attention of Wreck-Gar. Wreck-Gar was impressed by Blurr's powerful engine...and decided he wanted it! He attacked the Autobots with a horde of Junkions, intent on hacking the still-sputtering engine from Blurr's body, and fought [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] in the process.

The misunderstanding came to an end when [[Kup (G1)|Kup]], an old hand at negotiating with natives, located their missing shuttle and instead engaged the Junkions in a barter session, trading weapons and energon. The Junkions waved as their new friends departed with all their parts intact. {{storylink|Battle on the Junk Planet}}

As the Autobots attempted to repel a [[Sixshot]]-led Decepticon attack, Wreck-Gar rushed up to [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] with the news that [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] was attacking the energon plant. He led the Autobot leader there, but they were too late — the [[Nullification Cannon]] had destroyed the energon stocks. A while later, [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] returned from [[Tau-Ursa]] with a [[Logicon]] recording revealing the location of [[Metascan Alpha]], a storehouse of energon. Wreck-Gar was present at its playing, and subsequently fought off two Decepticon spies, the [[Clone (subgroup)|Clone]]s. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

Wreck-Gar found the chassis of the near-dead [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] floating in space, where he had been abandoned by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], while on a supply run. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}} Wreck-Gar brought Megatron back on-line and even salvaged several [[Aerospace Extermination Squadron]] drone bodies from the surface of Junk for him so he could reclaim his position as leader of the Decepticons. For Wreck-Gar's efforts, Megatron stabbed him through the chest. {{storylink|Runnin' with the Devil}}

{{note|[[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] declared bankruptcy before many of its plot threads could be resolved. Due to the Junkions' rapid-repair, very-hard-to-kill physiology, it seems unlikely that Wreck-Gar was a fatality.}}

===Collect and Save===
When the [[Recyclon]]s arrived on Junk, intending to convert the planet into energon for their overseers, the [[Harvest Lords of Sigrath]], Wreck-Gar approached the leader, [[Salvage (Recyclon)|Salvage]], and got two blaster bolts in the chest. After a near-instantaneous repair job, Wreck-Gar called out his fellows and swarmed the Recyclons, severely damaging them and forcing them to retreat to their ship, the ''[[Reclamation]]'', and lift off.

Salvage returned to the planet's surface, leaving the ''Reclamation'' in orbit, in order to make peace with Wreck-Gar. But it was all a ruse; Salvage slapped a device on Wreck-Gar, a more powerful version of the Junkion leader's own decelerator laser, preventing him from attacking or calling his people while the orbiting Recyclons fired a beam from the [[Prime Processing Unit]] to convert the planet to energon from space. However, Wreck-Gar proved even stronger than Salvage expected, and he called the Junkions to fire a tractor beam at the ''Reclamation'', sending it crashing into Junk seconds before the Prime Processing Unit activated, causing the ship to explode. Salvage himself lived only a few seconds more than his fellows, as the Junkions closed in on him immediately afterwards. {{storylink|Collect and Save}}

*'''Wreck-Gar''' (Autobot Hero, 1986)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''C-81'''
**''Accessories'': "[[Decelerator laser]]" gun, "Armor Axe"

: Wreck-Gar's first (and for decades, only) toy transforms into a Cybertronic "junk" motorcycle, and is noteworthy for being one of the earliest uses of ball-and-socket joints in the ''Transformers'' toy line. As his fists become the axle for his front wheel, his two weapons can be mounted there in motorcycle mode.

: Unfortunately, two Wreck-Gar toys are completely incapable of riding one another (without some form of customization), unlike the action depicted in the movie.

*'''Wreck-Gar''' (Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories'': "4-bladed battle axe"/tailpipe

: Part of the sixth wave of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toyline]], Wreck-Gar transforms from a ''Road Warrior''-esque motorcycle into an asymmetrical robot with [[facial hair]], a grin, and an axe. His exhaust pipe and rear hubcap detach (via a [[C joint|clip joint]]) and unfold to become his axe weapon. As part of the [[Reveal the Shield]] subline, Wreck-Gar features a [[rubsign]]. The front tire is mounted on a balljoint, allowing it to pivot downward and serve as a shield in robot mode. It can peg onto his elbow in this position, but doing so limits articulation.

: One Wreck-Gar can totally ride another (or other toy based on the same mold) in the style seen in the movie! Double pegs under his pelvis correspond to sockets in his vehicle-mode seat. Further, a peg on his left ankle, and a socket on his right ankle, connect to appropriate spots on the vehicle-mode, securing his feet as well.

: The [[:Image:OriginalRtSWreck-Gar.jpg|original Hasbro stock photography of ''Reveal the Shield'' Wreck-Gar]] showed him with red parts, similar to his animation model and the TakaraTomy release. However, by the time the figure came out at retail, all of his red parts became brown. A set of updated stock photography (as seen on the official Hasbro website) was done to match this change.

: There's an automorph in his right leg. Pulling up on the gas tank causes his handlebars to be dislodged and moved to the side. Moving the handlebars manually creates stress points and has had many reported instances of broken handlebars.

: This mold was [[retool]]ed into ''[[United (toyline)|United]]'' [[Scrapheap (G1)|Scrapheap]], and a third potential remold is hinted at in his instructions.

: Part of the third wave of ''[[United (toyline)|United]]'', [[TakaraTomy]]'s version of Wreck-Gar is a [[redeco]] of the [[Hasbro]] release in (surprise!) a much brighter, more cartoon-inspired deco. This version has a ''lot'' more red, the flames dropped from his chest, his helmet in a lighter color, many additional paint applications, and numerous other color shifts.

**''Accessories'': Stand

: A "[[super deformed]]" mini-figure of Wreck-Gar was created as part of the second wave of [[MyClone]] Transformers in Japan. These toys could be disassembled and their parts mixed-and-matched thanks to a generic base body. In Wreck-Gar's case, this is especially appropriate.

* Given the above quote, we're going to take a painful leap to the conclusion that Wreck-Gar was named after the famed newspaper comic strip Viking, [http://www.kingfeatures.com/features/comics/hagar/about.htm Ha'''Gar''' the Horrible.]
* Like the rest of the central ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' cast, Wreck-Gar had a (ridiculously overdetailed) preliminary [[character model]] by [[Floro Dery]] that was revised by Japanese artists before final animation. And just like the rest of the central movie cast, that early model was used as a basis for his toy design, and for his Marvel Comics appearances.
* During Wreck-Gar's first appearance in ''The Transformers: The Movie'', his speech pattern was a mashup of contemporary pop culture catchphrases, each line taking from a multitude of sources and scrambled together to make a (somewhat) coherent new statement. ("Don't look behind Door Number Two, Monty! It's time to play 'End of the Line, My Valentine'! Geroni-oo-run-run-ronimooooo!") In Wreck-Gar's subsequent appearances, however, writers seemed content to give him unaltered lines from television and movies. ("I'm a pepper! Wouldn't you like to be a pepper, too?")
* Of course, in Wreck-Gar's [[Marvel UK]] appearances, he repeats local British pop culturisms. ("That's Blockbusters!" and "Jim'll fix it!")
* For nearly 20 years, Wreck-Gar was the ''only'' Junkion toy, until the creation of the [[e-Hobby]] exclusive [[Detritus]].
* A motorcycle based on Wreck-Gar makes a brief [[easter egg]] appearance in the ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Transformers Animated]]'' episode "[[Garbage In, Garbage Out]]". Wreck-Gar's [[Wreck-Gar (Animated)|''Animated'' counterpart]] throws it at [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] in a fit of misguided helpfulness.

William Fowler

98.145.233.162: /* Prime cartoon */

:''William Fowler is a [[human]] from the [[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Transformers: Prime]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:DarknessRising2-Fowler.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Someone buy him a longer tie.]]

Special Agent '''William "Bill" Fowler''' is the type of guy that [[Theodore Galloway]] ''wishes'' he could be. He's the tough-talking, robot-dissing designated liaison between the [[United States of America|United States government]] and the [[Autobot]]s, who's got the guts to face down [[Starscream (Prime)|the Decepticons]] himself. And he doesn't need any military escort! He can pilot his own damn helicopter!

Fowler is leery about trusting the Autobots to handle the [[Decepticon]]s by themselves and doesn't believe that [[Earth]] can't handle its own mess, but for now, while he chews them out and slags them off, he's willing to let them have a chance.

{{bigquote|Pretty big bearings... for a human.|Bulkhead|"[[Darkness Rising, Part 2]]"}}
{{TOCclear}}

==Fiction==
===''Prime'' cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Ernie Hudson]] (English)
Agent Fowler visited [[Autobot Central Command]] to chew the Autobots off over mass traffic accidents caused by [[Vehicon (Prime)|several]] [[Arcee (Prime)|odd]] [[Bumblebee (Prime)|vehicles]], and then demanded to know if this meant the Decepticons were back. When [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] confirmed this, Fowler stated it was time to "wake up" the [[Pentagon]]; he was notably ''un''impressed by Optimus's claim that only the Autobots could stop the Decepticons, clearly not believing it, but to avoid mass human casualties he agreed to give them a shot at sorting it out.

[[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] angrily told Fowler that the Autobots knew how to use appropriate force, but when the agent was gone he noted with respect that Fowler had ''bearings''. Prime noted that Fowler's attitude was due to being afraid for his planet. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}}

[[Image:DarknessRising3-interrogateFowler.jpg|thumb|left|"This is some nice steel. How about telling me who gave them to you?" "Yo mama."]]

Another explosion had Fowler returning to the Autobot base, but he found only Bulkhead there. When [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]]'s guitar gave away the presence of her and her two classmates, he announced he was going to take them into federal custody, but Bulkhead prevented him from phoning his superiors. He stormed out and took off in his helicopter, making a report by radio. Unfortunately, the transmission was intercepted by the Decepticons, who captured him and strung him up by chains. Fowler proved difficult to interrogate, so [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] got out an energon prod to soften him up. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}}

Fowler was on the verge of breaking and telling Starscream where the Autobot base was, when weapons fire became audible outside the brig. Sensing rescue was near, he became awkward again, provoking Starscream into shocking him into unconsciousness. When he awoke, he was in a dazed, rambling state. The Autobots finally reached his location, only to become locked in a standoff with Starscream, until a random outburst from Fowler caused a distraction, and the Autobots chased Starscream off. Fowler rode back to base in Bulkhead, though his dazed state persisted and he became fixated on pie. Once they reached the base, he was given rudimentary medical attention. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}}

When the Autobots discovered that the Decepticons were using a radio telescope array in [[Texas]], Optimus suggested getting Fowler to put the installation on high alert, but Fowler was still too out of it to comply. He had recovered enough to cheer the Autobots on as they destroyed Megatron's [[space bridge]], and later thanked them for saving him from the Decepticons, and for saving the world, before he left the base. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}}

[[Image:Masters&Students-FowlerTopGun.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Why am I not wearing flight gear? Because I CAN!]]
Responding to reports of strange transmissions, Fowler warned other pilots away from the area as he sped there in a new top-secret jet. He came upon the scene of a battle between Optimus, Bumblebee and the Decepticon [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]], the latter of whom seized the opportunity to [[scanning|scan]] Fowler's jet. Fowler retaliated by firing on Skyquake, but the Decepticon launched a number of heat-seeking missiles that Fowler was forced to use evasive maneuvers to avoid. He later came to Bumblebee's aid, picking up the small Autobot who had just disabled Skyquake in mid-air and was plunging toward the ground as a result. {{storylink|Masters & Students}}

==Notes==
* Which agency Fowler's a Special Agent ''for'' isn't stated; since he specifically refers to the Pentagon as who he'd talk to, he's presumably with a Department of Defense agency like the [[wikipedia:Defense Intelligence Agency|Defense Intelligence Agency]] or the [[wikipedia:Military Intelligence Corps (United States Army)|Military Intelligence Corps]].
* The Autobots refer to him as their liaison with "the outside world", though he appears to just represent the United States.
* Fowler must have one ''awesome'' rank if he can decide on his own whether or not the Pentagon is to go on full alert!
* Apparently, Fowler's grandmother made pretty good cookies.
