Cold, distant, quiet. '''Wreckage''' is the counterpart to the hot-wired [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]. Deliberate and methodical in his attacks, he enjoys watching his foe squirm in agony as his twin swords cut deep below their armor. Circuits popping and vital processors sizzling to uselessness are the music he longs to make, and none of the Decepticons can argue with his taste for making Autobots suffer.

Even though he’s an avid supporter of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], and he’s been involved in his share of Decepticon victories, he’s not considered to be one of their more reliable or trustworthy soldiers. He has a bad habit of caving under pressure, which makes him a poor candidate for leading missions. And [[Planetfall|all]] [[The Reign of Starscream #4|things]] [[Alliance issue 2|considered]], that’s not going to clear up any time soon. But that doesn’t stop him from thinking he deserves to be Megatron’s right hand man more than [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]].

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Many years ago, Wreckage was a member of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s defense forces, under the command of Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. After the discovery of a [[The Fallen|mysterious relic]] and an alien attack on Cybertron {{Storylink|Defiance issue 1}}, Megatron changed significantly, altering the military's mission from one of protection of their homeworld to the new aim of making war upon the hostile aliens and anybody who would stand in their way. Wreckage was present at Megatron's war rally in [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]], where the military leader demanded the control of all of Cybertron's forces in his vengeful attack on the aliens from the [[Eshems Nebula]]. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 2}} Wreckage was presumably at Megatron's rally where he unveiled his new "Decepticon" faction. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3}}

[[Image:Movie Wreckage Traitor.jpg|left|125px|thumb|Quit eviscerating yourself, quit eviscerating yourself!]]

During the subsequent civil war, Wreckage was one of several Decepticons under the command of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] during the battle of [[Tyger Pax]]. He was finishing off an [[Autobot]] with his sword when [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] arrived with news that [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] knew where the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]] was located. After witnessing the successful Autobot launch of the All Spark and Megatron's subsequent pursuit of it, Wreckage left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] with Starscream's group in search of their leader.

[[Image:Movie Wreckage EMPblast.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Wreckage's name is unfortunately appropriate.]]
Arriving on [[Earth]] many years later in Afghanistan, Wreckage scanned and destroyed a human military carrier vehicle sent to investigate their planetfall. He was able to trace the location of the Bargam US airbase and jam their communications to prevent them from calling for help. Under Starscream's orders, Wreckage led the group to attack, initially confusing the soldiers with his vehicle mode. Whilst observing [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] slaughter human soldiers the latter had tricked, Wreckage was hit with a localized electromagnetic pulse and disabled. Barricade was ordered by Starscream to leave their comrade behind, because either he would recover eventually, or if not, then it didn't matter. {{storylink|Planetfall}} {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number One|The Reign of Starscream #1}}

{{note|The events of [[Planetfall]] contradict those of [[Movie Prequel issue 4|Prime Directive issue 4]]. Conversely, [[The Reign of Starscream Issue Number One|The Reign of Starscream issue 1]] seemingly attempts to reconcile at least ''some'' of the events of Planetfall with those of [[Movie Prequel (2007)|Prime Directive]].}}

Starscream learned from [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]]'s datatrax that Wreckage's body had been claimed by [[Sector Seven]] {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Two|The Reign of Starscream #2}}, and that Wreckage had made arrangements with Sector Seven, incurring the air commander's wrath. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}}

Buried by his comrades, Wreckage was eventually discovered by agents of [[Sector Seven]] who unearthed and transported him to a secret base in [[Nevada]]. He was reactivated under the watch of Sector Seven operative [[Salazar]]. Trading information for his own survival, Wreckage was deactivated by Salazar after the battle at [[Mission City]] that claimed the life of Megatron, due to a growing danger he presented. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2|Alliance issue 2}} Salazar was soon inadvertently killed when [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] escaped Earth, leaving Wreckage inert. [[Seymour Simmons]], however, planned to use [[William Lennox]]'s [[Autobot]] contacts to awaken him... {{storylink|Alliance issue 1}}

When Optimus Prime left the Allspark sliver with Sector Seven, they brought it underground for safe keeping, despite [[Professor Vine]]'s insistence that they keep it as far from Wreckage as possible. Vine's fears were well founded: while passing Wreckage's platform to take it to an isolation vault, the sliver was drawn to Wreckage, awakening him. Wreckage broke free, demanding Megatron's whereabouts and for Salazar be given to him so that he could strip the flesh from his frame. As he escaped, he attempts to scan a green jeep as a new alternate mode, but is attacked by Landmine units also activated by the Allspark. This left him with a new green coloration. The Landmine units proved no match for Wreckage, but upon defeating them, he was suddenly confronted with an enraged Starscream, who accused him of treason. Wreckage himself was less than pleased with the [[Air Commander]], feeling Starscream had betrayed him by leaving him for dead. A fierce battle took place, damaging the Sector Seven base and killing several humans, but Wreckage eventually gained the upper hand. Just as he was about to kill Starscream, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] arrived and shot off said hand, and Starscream thrust his claws into Wreckage's spark core, killing him. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2}}

Wreckage was seen defending Decepticon borders when Starscream claimed a portion of the United States. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}} He later got to smash up part of Pittsburgh as part of a punitive campaign against relations with the Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}} Later still, he got exiled on Cybertron. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part 3}}

[[Image:Wreckage movie.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Wreckage appeared in several online games. Not the most impressive resume, but it's a living.]]
Wreckage was one of a group of Decepticons who trapped Bumblebee in a canyon. He stood around on a rocky butte, walking back and forth and waiting for Bumblebee to drive up to him. When the impudent Autobot dropped in (nearly landing on poor Wreckage's head), Wreckage immediately opened fire, blasting Bumblebee over and over and over and over and over. Unfortunately, Bumblebee had the idea to shoot back, blasting Wreckage right out of the picture with just one shot. Or he keeps shooting until Bumblebee falls and then he gathers around with his buddies to celebrate Bee's pitiful defeat. {{storylink|Flight of the Bumblebee}}

*'''Wreckage''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''MD-10'''
**''Accessories'': 2 spring-loaded blades

: Wreckage transforms into an [[wikipedia:Stryker|M1126 Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicle]] in urban or arctic camo, armed with a M2 .50 cal machine gun and two other machine guns mounted extending out of the troop compartment. Unusually for a Transformer with a military vehicle alternate mode, Wreckage does not feature ''significant'' embellishments to his design, even though he is not a licensed toy. However, his white plastic obscures much of his sculpted detailing.

:His [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature is activated during transformation by swinging his machine gun down, pushing it against a translucent red panel, which simultaneously raises his shoulders, lowers his torso, raises his head and extends his stomach-mounted cannon.

:The smaller machine gun weapons feature flip-out energy blades that can be held in his hands, mounted under his forearms or on any of the wheels. They can also connect together to form an undocumented but certainly intended double-bladed weapon; mounting this on his forearm wheels gives him an awesome spinning blade weapon.

: There is a minor issue on Wreckage where moving his arms down or towards his back at the shoulder will activate his Automorphing feature and begin to fold the torso back into its vehicle mode position. The best way to avoid this is to hold the grey gun plugging into his back in position while moving his arms.

:[[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] is a [[redeco]] of deluxe-class Wreckage from the [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie toyline]]. The figure transforms into an [[wikipedia:Stryker|M1126 Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicle]] in green and brown, armed with a M2 .50 cal machine gun and two other machine guns mounted extending out of the troop compartment. His [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature is activated during transformation by swinging his machine gun down, pushing it against a translucent purple panel, which simultaneously raises his shoulders, lowers his torso, raises his head and extends his stomach-mounted cannon all in one movement.

:The smaller machine gun weapons feature flip-out energy blades that can be held in his hands, mounted under his forearms or on any of the wheels. They can also connect together to form an undocumented but certainly intended double-bladed weapon; mounting this on his forearm wheels gives him an awesome spinning blade weapon.

:This figure was only available in the [[Toys"R"Us]] -[[exclusive]] Master of Metallikato battle pack with [[Whirl (ROTF)|Whirl]]. This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] by [[IDW Publishing]] as an upgraded form for Wreckage after samples of the toy were leaked online but before the identity of the toy was known.

*'''Wreckage''' (3D Battle Card, 2007)
**''Card number:''

: A 35-point "Uncommon" card, Wreckage is assembled from punch-out parts of two cards, which can be fit together to make either a robot or a tank. Since he uses the same parts layout as [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]], his central cannon is considerably oversized when compared to his toy.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Movie Wreckage Stykerconcept1.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Tall, dark, and bloodthirsty.]]
*As revealed at [[BotCon 2007]]'s [[Hasbro]] tour, Wreckage is the toy company's elaboration of a design for a Transformer abandoned early in the Movie's development. It had no name and was thus labeled '''Stryker''', the name of its vehicle mode.
*It was also revealed at [[BotCon 2008]]'s Designer panel that the reason Wreckage's head doesn't match "Stryker"'s concept art was because [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] couldn't make out the detail from the design sketches that were sent to them. [[Aaron Archer]] drew a new head in five minutes, before catching a plane to Tokyo.
* This "Stryker" concept art was later used as a Decepticon piece in the ''[[Risk|Transformers Risk]]'' game.

Before the war, '''Sideways''' was a simple courier, not exactly a career demanding massive levels of courage. This means that in the battle against the [[Autobots]], Sideways prefers to team up with larger Decepticons. This way, his target-friendly companion takes all the heat! In fact, he generally shuns combat entirely. He's not a courageous fellow. But when he absolutely must face the enemy, he eagerly deploys the spinning saw blades on his arms.

Since he's arrived on [[Earth]], Sideways has started hanging out with the mountainous [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]]. There's few larger Decepticons to lurk in the shadow of!

Sideways was hiding out in [[Shanghai]] with [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] when [[NEST]] came to investigate a possible Decepticon insurgence. At first, the two Decepticons remained concealed, but Demolishor soon transformed and attacked. While the soldiers and their Autobot allies were busy fighting off Demolishor, Sideways took advantage of the chaos and attempted to make his getaway. He was not entirely undetected, however, as [[William Lennox|Major Lennox]] sent out [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|the]] [[Skids (ROTF)|twins]] in pursuit.

With Arcee behind him and the Twins in front of him, Sideways turned a corner to an apartment complex in his way. Rather than turn and lose momentum, Sideways chucked caution to the wind and transformed, jumping through the apartment building and out the other side. The Twins were unable to keep up with the chase, and Sideways was soon able to fight off Arcee. Sideways didn't get far, and eventually met his end when [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]] engaged in pursuit, transformed, and bisected Sideways as he attempted to flee. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

====''Revenge of the Fallen''- The Game (Xbox 360/Sony PS3/PC)====
=====Decepticon campaign=====
[[Image:ROTFTheGame_Sideways.jpg|300px|thumb|Bite my shiny metal ass!]]

Sideways operated as a high-speed reconnaissance operative with the ability to snipe at Autobot opponents from afar with his [[plasma sniper rifle]], and slow enemies to a crawl with his [[graviton mine]] when he needed to get away.

Sideways was deployed to Shanghai after the Autobots and their NEST allies were detected interfering with an important operation in the area. Upon arrival, various [[Protectobot Scout|Protectobot drones]] were sent to stop him, but failed. Later, Sideways was sent to the Shanghai waterfront to retrieve [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]], who had been damaged and captured by the Autobots. The nimble Decepticon sports car used a combination of speed and guile to fight his way through the numerically superior Autobot forces, freed Grindor and escorted his Decepticon brother back to the extraction point. He was sent back to the waterfront again find a cloaked Autobot probe that threatened the Decepticon operations in China. Following the probe's wake, Sideways raced through the waterfront past startled human dockworkers and the [[Protectobot Warrior|Protectobot units]] assigned to the area, destroying the probe as it revealed itself. {{Storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

=====Autobot campaign=====
The Autobots were deployed to China when NEST forces detected the presence of Decepticons in Shanghai. Sideways secreted himself within the urban jungle and sent waves of [[Stunticon Scout 2|Stunticon drones]] against [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. After the last batch of Stunticons had been defeated, Sideways revealed himself, taking pot shots at the powerful Autobot with his [[slag repeater]], after which he would <s>cheese it</s> flee through the narrow alleyways where Ironhide had difficulty following. While the Autobot struggled to pass the cramped causeways, Sideways set himself up on the roof of the tallest residential block and fired his plasma sniper rifle. Ironhide shrugged off the blasts, clambered up the building, and with a mighty punch, sent Sideways plummeting to the ground, reducing him to scrap. {{Storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

*'''Sideways''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-05'''

:Deluxe-Class Sideways features [[Automorph]] action during the conversion from car to robot mode. When the front bumper is pressed, his front pair of wheels automatically flip underneath the hood, and his robot abs flip down. There is also some [[Mech Alive]]: you can see internal gears moving in his fore-arms when moving his arms, as well as a turning disk on each of his elbows. On his right arm is a spinning "saw" blade. He is probably the least film-accurate toy to date (that doesn't fall in a lesser [[Legends Class|size-class]] or different [[Movie (toyline) #Fast Transformers Fun|toy-line]]), but that doesn't make him any less awesome.

:Unlike the other on-screen characters in ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' who turn into consumer vehicles, Sideways' vehicle mode is merely an approximation of an [[wikipedia:Audi_R8|Audi R8]] and is not an accurate replica. This is because the toy vehicle, lacking Audi signage, is unlicensed. This doesn't explain why all versions of Deluxe class Sideways (hand-painted [[prototype]]s, test shots and production toys) are missing the black front lid, roof and rear hood seen on Sideways toys of other price points, and the real car. However, all of the toys are missing the unique silver stripes on top of the black areas seen on the [http://www.europeancarsblog.com/apr-audi-r8/ APR-tuned Audi R8], which was the car used in the movie.

:Yet another victim of late mold changes rampant among the 2008-2009 financial crisis, Sideways appears to have had a hinged thumb on his left hand in Hasbro stock photos whereas this is a solid section molded on to the arm on the final toy. Although not indicated on any early photos nor instructions, Sideways' windshield underside has two notches that connect to Sideways' hood on small square pegs immediately behind the front wheels. This requires folding up the two small triangular pieces on top of the hood. Also it seems as if the spinning saw blade was originally powered by gears, the gearbox and shaft for the lever can still be seen on his right forearm but are molded just like his thumb onto the arm.

:Along with [[Breakaway (ROTF)|Breakaway]], Sideways was initially released in two color schemes, a light silver version and a less common very dark silver version.

:This mold was retooled into the Deluxe class version of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Dead End (ROTF)|Dead End]].

However, this is pretty close to how his weapon actually works in the official video game; when Sideways fights in melee, his wheel-blades spread out to form razor-edged ovals, presumably for added reach.

==Notes==
*When [[Wikipedia:Audi|Audi]] was looking to win screen time for one of its cars in the summer films during 2009, Ruben Igielko-Herrlich, a marketing consultant from Propaganda Global Entertainment Marketing, helped the company to find an opportunity in the film ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''. Ruben talked the staff from the film into finding a role for the [[Wikipedia:Audi R8|Audi R8]]. Ultimately, an Audi R8 appears in the film as Sideways. Thus, Sideways became the only car Transformer in the movie whose alternate mode is not manufactured by [[General Motors]].<ref>[http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/09_28/b4139068367113.htm Hollywood's Blockbuster Role for Product Placement - BusinessWeek]</ref>
* Sideways's toys and merchandise are not licensed by Audi, and are thus merely approximations of the R8. However, Sideways' appearance in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video games]] is fully licensed, so he is accurate to the car used in the film and has Audi's logos and signage.

* According to designer [[Hisashi Yuki]], the wheels on the hands were a rushed [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/interviews-27/takaratomy-staff-interview-translation-hisashi-yuki-rotf-rid-prime-bt-skids-and-bwn-unicron-168426/ late addition] due to a design change in the movie character model. This is why the hand tires are not integrated more properly into the toy.

* When first leaked images of his concept design and toy where leaked onto the internet many thought this was going to be a new body for [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

:''Mixmaster is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

{{mainpic}}

A genius chemist, '''Mixmaster''' serves as a weapons designer to the Decepticon elite. He has spent his entire lifespan mastering the intricacies of chemical reactions, becoming an expert in poisons, corrosive substances, and most especially explosives. He has a knack for improvisation, being able to make deadly concoctions from just the native materials a world has to offer. A member of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], when [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] is formed he constitutes the lumbering beast's head.

Sometimes, there are more than one of him.

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance4_Constructicons.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Not shown: Mixmaster learning to use a bone as a club.]]

In the distant past, the [[All Spark (Movie)|All Spark]] Cube created [[Thirteen original Transformers|a race]] of powerful, trans-dimensional beings as the first inhabitants of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The Cube gave these beings mighty powers, as well as terraforming their world, but it was not limitless, and gradually became depleted. The first beings learned that the All Spark's power could be replenished by harvesting the energy of stars, but they were unable to locate new stars to suit their purposes, despite their amazing ability to travel between dimensions. Once again, the Cube came to the rescue, creating a race of workers, who had the ability to change their shape.

Mixmaster was among the very first of these new beings, one of several "builders" who would construct a [[Solar harvester|harvester]] when a suitable sun had been found. Once built, the device would drain the energy of these stars, thus replenishing the All Spark. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4}} It is presumed that at some point during the civil war on Cybertron, he sided with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the new protege of Mixmaster's only surviving ancient master, [[The Fallen]].

After the [[All Spark]] shard was retrieved from [[NEST]]'s secure bunker at [[Diego Garcia]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]], Mixmaster, [[Scalpel]], [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] and [[Ze little one|another Constructicon]] secreted themselves aboard the ''[[Bayos]]'' freighter heading towards the North Atlantic. Once the ship passed over the [[Laurentian Abyss]], the Decepticons jumped overboard and dove down to where [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron's]] broken body lay. Scalpel ordered the death of the smallest Constructicon to rebuild Megatron, a request that Mixmaster and the others obliged with. Soon, Megatron was reborn!

After Megatron killed [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], Mixmaster climbed the Brooklyn Bridge and knocked down the American flag in a display of dominance as [[The Fallen]] broadcast a worldwide message demanding the humans bring them the head of [[Sam Witwicky]].

Some time later, Mixmaster and another Constructicon with the same [[body-type]] were present during the climactic battle in [[Egypt]] between the [[Autobot]]/NEST forces and the Decepticons. Mixmaster and several other Constructicons waited in a quarry in their construction vehicle disguises until the [[human]]s [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Leo Spitz]] and their Autobot guardians [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] approached. The Constructicons [[combiner|combined]] into the mighty Devastator and attacked. Elsewhere, the other Mixmaster fought against the NEST forces in the Egyptian town near the great ruins of the pyramids, using his cannon emplacement mode to cause serious problems, until the ex-Decepticon [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] arrived to slice him in half and crush his torso. Meanwhile, Devastator had shrugged off the Autobot twins and was busy demolishing the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] when Simmons called upon the [[United States Navy]] to attack Devastator. The [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S. ''Kidd'']] fired her experimental [[Railgun|railgun]], smashing one of his arms to pieces and destroying Devastator. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

The vehicle mode's mixing drum is incapable of rotating due to the transformation, but does boast a pair of gigantic Decepticon logos on either side. The cement chute at the rear of the vehicle mode can accurately raise and lower on a hinge.

: His robot mode is very thin and lanky, with numerous joints on the extremely long arms alone. The packaging calls out [[Mech Alive]] gimmickry in the form of "spinning gears" on his chest, but the feature is only present at the thighs and forearms, which reveal shifting internal bits when the joints are rotated. The robot mode's missile-firing cannon is locked in place on its back pointing straight upward; in order to aim it the toy must be transformed to its artillery cannon-like Battle Mode that has him essentially performing a belly flop, letting the launcher fire forward.

: The image of the cement mixer mode on the packaging has been flipped horizontally, leaving the location of the ladder switched. Additionally, the robot mode image on the packaging has a different mold for the mixing drum shells, with rectangular-shaped pegs rather than circular.

:''Mixmaster is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''[[Image:[[Image:Example.jpg]][[Image:Example.jpg]]]]

A genius chemist, '''Mixmaster''' serves as a weapons designer to the Decepticon elite. He has spent his entire lifespan mastering the intricacies of chemical reactions, becoming an expert in poisons, corrosive substances, and most especially explosives. He has a knack for improvisation, being able to make deadly concoctions from just the native materials a world has to offer. A member of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], when [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] is formed he constitutes the lumbering beast's head.

Sometimes, there are more than one of him.

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance4_Constructicons.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Not shown: Mixmaster learning to use a bone as a club.]]

In the distant past, the [[All Spark (Movie)|All Spark]] Cube created [[Thirteen original Transformers|a race]] of powerful, trans-dimensional beings as the first inhabitants of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The Cube gave these beings mighty powers, as well as terraforming their world, but it was not limitless, and gradually became depleted. The first beings learned that the All Spark's power could be replenished by harvesting the energy of stars, but they were unable to locate new stars to suit their purposes, despite their amazing ability to travel between dimensions. Once again, the Cube came to the rescue, creating a race of workers, who had the ability to change their shape.

Mixmaster was among the very first of these new beings, one of several "builders" who would construct a [[Solar harvester|harvester]] when a suitable sun had been found. Once built, the device would drain the energy of these stars, thus replenishing the All Spark. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4}} It is presumed that at some point during the civil war on Cybertron, he sided with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the new protege of Mixmaster's only surviving ancient master, [[The Fallen]].

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
[[Image:ROTFMegatronrebirth.jpg|thumb|250px|]]
After the [[All Spark]] shard was retrieved from [[NEST]]'s secure bunker at [[Diego Garcia]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]], Mixmaster, [[Scalpel]], [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] and [[Ze little one|another Constructicon]] secreted themselves aboard the ''[[Bayos]]'' freighter heading towards the North Atlantic. Once the ship passed over the [[Laurentian Abyss]], the Decepticons jumped overboard and dove down to where [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron's]] broken body lay. Scalpel ordered the death of the smallest Constructicon to rebuild Megatron, a request that Mixmaster and the others obliged with. Soon, Megatron was reborn!

After Megatron killed [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], Mixmaster climbed the Brooklyn Bridge and knocked down the American flag in a display of dominance as [[The Fallen]] broadcast a worldwide message demanding the humans bring them the head of [[Sam Witwicky]].

Some time later, Mixmaster and another Constructicon with the same [[body-type]] were present during the climactic battle in [[Egypt]] between the [[Autobot]]/NEST forces and the Decepticons. Mixmaster and several other Constructicons waited in a quarry in their construction vehicle disguises until the [[human]]s [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Leo Spitz]] and their Autobot guardians [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] approached. The Constructicons [[combiner|combined]] into the mighty Devastator and attacked. Elsewhere, the other Mixmaster fought against the NEST forces in the Egyptian town near the great ruins of the pyramids, using his cannon emplacement mode to cause serious problems, until the ex-Decepticon [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] arrived to slice him in half and crush his torso. Meanwhile, Devastator had shrugged off the Autobot twins and was busy demolishing the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] when Simmons called upon the [[United States Navy]] to attack Devastator. The [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S. ''Kidd'']] fired her experimental [[Railgun|railgun]], smashing one of his arms to pieces and destroying Devastator. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}
