98.222.213.161: /* GAY? */

Jeez, dudes, he makes one comment about Prime's tires, and he's the next Side Burn? [[User:TheMZone|TheMZone]] 00:43, 13 March 2011 (EST)
:I removed it, but apparently someone called Detour took issue with that and reverted me. --[[User:Peter Damian|Peter Damian]] 05:24, 13 March 2011 (EDT)
::Because your words are not law. First of all, the stealth link is there to show precedence, not to say "DUDE HE'S THE EXACT SAME AS SIDEBURN", and second because he does appear to have a serious thing going on for cars... especially Prime. He's gay for Optimus. His comment about Prime was a character-defining moment that really belongs in the intro paragraph. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 05:30, 13 March 2011 (EDT)
:::I think "gay for Optimus" is a little strong. I do think the note should stay, because it is pretty notable that Knock Out shows up next to Optimus complimenting him on his rims and build. We've built up intro paragraphs on less, and schmoozing Optimus's looks isn't really an everyday occurrence in Transformers. That, coupled with Starscream's "Oh, you're one of THOSE." Oh, right, and he compliments Optimus because he reminds him of his [[Breakdown (Prime)|Partner]]. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 10:27, 13 March 2011 (EDT)
::::I may be too old to know for sure, but wasn't he just taunting Prime? The way the kids these days talk? I mean, he was setting Prime up to get blasted, which might indicate it wasn't legitimate schmoozing. Just a thought. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 11:21, 13 March 2011 (EDT)
:::::I don't think Knock Out was legitimately trying to make out with Optimus, no. Try to make him uncomfortable or set him off his game, probably. That doesn't mean his compliments were empty. I think he meant it, but was using it as a disorienting weapon, not as a "I WILL TOTALLY DO YOU LATER" sort of thing. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 12:26, 13 March 2011 (EDT)
::::::Whenever something like that line turns into a pun, I guess I kind of discount it as character development. But double entendres, I guess. Off to watch the dang episode again. [[User:TheMZone|TheMZone]] 17:49, 13 March 2011 (EDT)
:::::::Actually, it's my opinion that Knock Out was admiring "the awesome truck parked over there," not Optimus. He showed no signs of recognizing Prime as a Transformers until he, um, transformed. Breakdown fired at the building, not at Optimus. But that's just me.
:::::::- [[User:Queso|¡Usa El Queso!]] 23:20, 13 March 2011 (EDT)
::::::::Yeah, I never thought Knock Out knew Prime was a robot. He was just a cool looking truck that Knock Out wanted to ...do whatever with. I mean, you're a medic and the leader of your opposing faction is sitting right there, you generally don't go up to him all HEY BIG BOY HOW'S IT HANGIN' (unless you're Comics Ratchet, I mean). [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 07:57, 14 March 2011 (EDT)
:::::::::If he didn't know it was a Transformer, then I'd expect some reaction shot from him when he found out. He's also clearly introducing Optimus to Breakdown, who will shoot him, which otherwise makes no sense. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 11:16, 14 March 2011 (EDT)
::::::::::Personally I think he was just complimenting Prime's truck mode without knowing it was Optimus. He's in love with himself. Any accusations that he's gay will be the same thing as G1 Tracks.[[User:DinoFreakUSA|DinoFreakUSA]] 14:01, 20 March 2011 (EDT)
::::::::::Also I think we should change things around a bit. I think he only likes cars because he thinks they're cool not because they remind him of Breakdown. Was there an official source that said this?[[User:DinoFreakUSA|DinoFreakUSA]] 00:34, 21 March 2011 (EDT)
:::::::::::"You're reeeeeeaaaaaaaal heavy-duty, just like my friend here." The statement in the article is factual: He likes big trucks, and he thinks they're like Breakdown. Your "because" is something you read into it. - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 01:07, 21 March 2011 (EDT)
Starscream's "you're one of ''those''" line is a rhetorical device letting everybody know that the cartoon isn't going to go there. Since he immediately explained that he was taking about car-mode Decepticons. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 22:02, 25 March 2011 (EDT)

== GAY? ==

That's a little inapropriate for a show that children watch, and I'm sure he just likes cars and commented on Optimus to distract him.--[[User:Primo|Primo]] 13:46, 3 April 2011 (EDT)
:I'd say the brutal death, zombiefication and further brutal manglings of Cliffjumper and the constant brutal eradication of Vehicon troopers are far more inappropriate for a children's show than a bot who likes other dudebots. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 13:57, 3 April 2011 (EDT)
::If it were humans, yes, but robots, parents probably don't care much.--[[User:Primo|Primo]] 14:23, 3 April 2011 (EDT)
:::Then why do you care? Are you afraid there'll be gay bot marriage or gay bot sex? They don't even have straight bot marriage or straight bot sex. And honestly, leaving homosexuals out of the show could give out a bad message, you know? "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings, except homos, gross!" -- [[User:Semysane|Semysane]] 17:08, 3 April 2011 (EDT)
::::I'm getting Tramp flashbacks from this conversation.--[[User:Spin-Out|Spin-Out]] 18:32, 3 April 2011 (EDT)
:You are inappropriate for children. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 19:33, 3 April 2011 (EDT)
:::::I personally don't care, but parents might overreact and try to sue Hasbro or some shit.--[[User:Primo|Primo]] 16:29, 7 April 2011 (EDT)
::::::Sue them over what, exactly? Take your conspiracy theories to a forum, please. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 16:35, 7 April 2011 (EDT)
: What a great birthday present, this person. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 18:05, 7 April 2011 (EDT)
:: All I'm saying they wouldn't suggest him being gay, because of very critical parents who are offended by that. And this is to Spin-Out: Why?--[[User:Primo|Primo]] 15:19, 8 April 2011 (EDT)
::::Sexual innuendo can happen in kids shows, dude. Sexual innuendo's like half of Beast Wars. But I have a feeling that it's not these fictional parents you're invoking who really has the problem here. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 17:58, 8 April 2011 (EDT)
:::Odd that the parents would have a problem with implications that a character might be gay, but have no problems with death and grisly dismemberment. Not to mention fake profanity. -- [[User:Semysane|Semysane]] 17:48, 8 April 2011 (EDT)
::::Which I already pointed out to him at the very beginning of this nonsense. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 17:51, 8 April 2011 (EDT)
:::::Truth be told, a lot of people have a bigger problem with sex/sexuality than violence (heck, didn't the TF:P crew say they could do violence but not swearing? Not my idea of taboo hierarchy either). Of course, this doesn't change the fact that Primo over here is trying to keep a clean slate by presenting his problem as someone else's problem he's merely trying to raise awareness off. Which I don't get either, because the note states this is how fans interpret it, not that the TF:P crew intended it this way. [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 05:39, 9 April 2011 (EDT)
::I don't think it's something worth mentioning in the page (probably 100% coincidence), but his Knock Out voice is exactly the same as his Mercurymon voice from Digimon, which was a character that wore prominent makeup in both its forms. It's pretty clear that Knock Out's at least ''acting'' as if he's homosexual.[[Special:Contributions/98.222.213.161|98.222.213.161]] 16:01, 14 May 2011 (EDT)

== On a COMPLETELY different topic... ==

Anyone object to changing Knock Out's quote to "I'm not just an automobile; I'm an automobile enthusiast"? It's basically just a better phrasing of the current quote, anyway.
<br>- [[User:Queso|¡Usa El Queso!]] 2:37 PM, 10 April 2011 A.D.
: I was gonna just go ahead and do that anyway, because I can, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. In other words, go ahead. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 14:46, 10 April 2011 (EDT)

Skyfall (Cybertron)

:''Skyfall is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[Continuity family|continuity family]].''
[[Image:Skyfallut.jpg|right|250px|thumb|...I?<br>OH!<br>So ''that's'' where I left my binoculars!]]
'''Skyfall''' knows he's different from his fellow [[Velocitron]]ians. He's unengaged by their need for speed, and so he has taken up the role of a lone explorer, charting distant star systems in his ship, the ''[[Flash Frenzy (Cybertron)|Flash Frenzy]]''. He knows he must be far older than most, if not all, of his peers, though he shows no sign of age. But most of all, he has the inescapable feeling that he's missing a clue to [[Nexus Prime|some lost, legendary past]] to which he deeply believes he was linked, a mystery that haunts him more than any other.

Another of Skyfall's enigmas is his strange but helpful ability. When his life is threatened or when he's under stress, Skyfall involuntarily envelopes his body in an impenetrable force field. The universe must be looking out for him, or at least has mixed feelings about him, as it keeps drawing him into grand adventures for which he has no patience. Civil war? [[Unicron]]? [[Transcendent Technomorph|Alternate universes]]? Thanks, but no thanks! Skyfall feels like he can only escape from one cosmic, galaxy-threatening annoyance just to find himself facing another!

{{quote|This dimension ''sucks!''|Skyfall bemoans his latest adventure|"[[Transcendent: Part 2]]"}}

==Fiction==
===''Cybertron'' comic===
[[Image:Skyfallineedhim.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Needy much?]]
Skyfall came to Cybertron looking for answers to his past. Instead, he found [[Dark Scorponok]]. {{storylink|Balancing Act, Part 2}} Though Skyfall's force fields protected him, Dark Scorponok managed to bury him and his force field under rubble. After he escaped from the [[zombie]], he was taken in by [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]], who claimed to know him. {{storylink|Balancing Act, Part 3}} Ramjet promised to tell Skyfall about his past if Skyfall helped him achieve his objective, {{storylink|Balancing Act, Part 4}} but [[Vector Prime]] came to destroy Ramjet. {{storylink|Balancing Act, Pt 5}} Despite Skyfall protecting him with his force field powers, Ramjet was lost in a fold of the fabric of space. {{storylink|Revelations Part 1}} Before Vector Prime departed, he instructed [[Sentinel Maximus]] to guard Skyfall with his life. {{storylink|Revelations Part 2}}

Over the next several [[Units of time|gigacycles]], Skyfall helped Sentinel Maximus repair [[Vector Sigma]]. Sentinel Maximus was impressed with Skyfall's ingenuity with energon circuits and quantum circuitry. An engraving in an ancient energon pool was discovered, and it seemed to depict Skyfall and four other warriors, but the engraving was twenty-five million cycles old! After receiving a distress call from the [[Mini-Con Council of Sages]], Sentinel Maximus took Skyfall to help quell the [[Mini-Con]] civil war on one of Cybertron's moons. {{storylink|Revelations Part 4}} There, Skyfall met a kindred spirit in a Decepticon named [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]] who was unwittingly working for [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|Revelations Part 5}} The surrounding battle was so intense that they disappeared in an explosion. {{storylink|Revelations Part 6}}

===''Classics''===
[[Image:Clubcombinercarving.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Great, now he can stop singing "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For."]]
The explosion somehow transported Skyfall and Landquake to an [[Classics (2006)|alternate universe]]. There they attempted to protect some [[human]]s from [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], at which point the Autobots arrived. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 1}} After the subsequent battle, Skyfall was carried off by the Autobots and Landquake by the Decepticons. The Autobots took Skyfall with them (babysat by [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]]) to South America, where more fighting happened.

After the two fell into a cave, {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 3}} Skyfall was reunited with Landquake. Cliffjumper accused Skyfall of treason and fired at them both, but the blast inadvertently awoke the site's guardian, [[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]]. Before a proper introduction could be given, they all came under attack from [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] and [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]], but the attackers were defeated and fell into the site's mysterious energon pools. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 4}}

As Skyfall and Landquake marveled at the pool of [[Rarified Energon]], they heard a voice. The [[Caretaker]] began speaking of the destiny of Skyfall, Landquake, and Breakaway. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 5}} Skyfall and his new partners were once part of [[Nexus Prime|a Prime]], one charged with protecting and maintaining the universe's supply of energon. But their group was not yet complete. The Caretaker urged them to proceed through a transwarp portal, on the other side of which they would meet the next member of their group. Reluctantly, Cliffjumper followed them. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 6}}
{{--}}
===''TransTech''===
On the other side, they arrived in yet another alternate universe, yet mysteriously without Cliffjumper. They found themselves in [[Axiom Nexus]], a multiversal hub located on a particularly old Cybertron inhabited by [[Transcendent Technomorph]]s. At first they were greeted by [[Cheetor (TransTech)|Cheetor]] and [[Silverbolt (TransTech)|Silverbolt]], but they were quickly sorted through processing, and ultimately the three were handed over to [[Alpha Trion (SG)|Alpha Trion]] to help them integrate into Axiom Nexus society until they were able to leave. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 1}}
[[Image:Alphatrionceilingofcorpses.jpg|left|200px|thumb|He's never seen so many dead hookers in all his life.]]
However, in the alleys of the city, Breakaway was snatched away from behind them. Skyfall and Landquake's first impulse was to hunt him down, but Alpha Trion convinced them not to do so. The TransTech must have taken him, he insisted, and the only way to get Breakaway back was to follow Alpha Trion back to his lab. Their guide explained that the TransTech were jealous and condescending creatures who fear superior technology, but he had devised a way to get the better of them, and it had to do with the hundreds of corpses hanging from his ceiling! {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 2}} Skyfall raged at this insanity and pulled his gun on their guide. His outburst was interrupted by [[Topspin (Classics)|Topspin]], Alpha Trion's aide, who explained that these were not corpses, but test subjects. Their [[spark]]s were safe elsewhere, as Topspin's special ability was moving sparks from body to body.

Skyfall was not entirely convinced, however. He demanded that Alpha Trion stop playing with sparks. It was just creepy, you know? Alpha Trion ignored him and talked of the coming battle. He said that if he should fall, then Skyfall should take up Alpha Trion's sword. This sword, which used to belong to a Decepticon named [[Slaughter]], influenced the bearer to do horrible, terrible things, and only a Transformer strong of spark could resist the temptation. Learning this did nothing to help Skyfall's unease. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 3}}

Skyfall and Landquake took a short walk through the markets of Axiom Nexus to discuss their situation. Skyfall was certain of Alpha Trion's insanity, but Landquake thought they should use him, at least in the short term, to get Breakaway back. Landquake also questioned whether Skyfall was ready to take this next step. If they were part of a long-lost combiner group, would they lose themselves into the whole once reunited as one? When they returned to Alpha Trion's lab, [[Nightscream (TransTech)|Nightscream]] arrived, having learned of Breakaway's location. Alpha Trion readied his acolytes for battle. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 4}}
[[Image:Skyfallwontbethereforit.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Where's your invincible force field now, eh?]]
SHRAKADOOM! Alpha Trion, Skyfall, and the others blasted their way into the [[Transwarp Complex]] where [[Shockwave (TransTech)|Shockwave]]'s lab was located. As casualties began to mount, Alpha Trion reminded Skyfall that this was what the sword's influence made one do. Yikes! But Alpha Trion met [[Megatron (TransTech)|Megatron]] in battle, freeing Skyfall and Landquake to grab Breakaway from Shockwave's operating table. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 5}}

As Megatron turned his attention on [[Immorticon]], Skyfall and the others met up with Alpha Trion and began to make their way towards their destination, a dimensional gate in the [[Transit Room]]. As they fled, Alpha Trion began to tell Skyfall that he knew more about him than he had originally let on. For the first time in his adventures, Skyfall wasn't very interested in his past; rather, he chose to focus on staying alive. But Alpha Trion's monologue couldn't be deterred. "Primus is calling his sons home," he explained. Skyfall's guidance would be pertinent in the challenges ahead. Unfortunately, that was Alpha Trion's problem. Running his sword through the Autobot's spark, Alpha Trion felled Skyfall and ordered Nightscream to carry the body through the portal. Skyfall's conscience would no longer be in the way of Alpha Trion's ultimate designs. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 6}}

===Shattered Glass===
As soon as Alpha Trion's group materialized through the portal, Landquake demanded to know what happened to Skyfall. Trion attempted to brush him off before claiming that Skyfall had been shot from behind during the escape from the lab. However, Breakaway discovered that Skyfall's wound was inflicted by an energy blade. Further questioning was halted when the three dimensional travelers and Topspin were taken captive as part of Alpha Trion's insane plans. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 1}} Now knowing Trion to be a madman, Landquake, Breakaway and Topspin managed to escape with Skyfall's body. Weeks later, the group was holed up in another abandoned facility, trying to use their respective powers to revive Skyfall, but failing to succeed. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 2}}
[[Image:Reunification5-arisenexusprime.jpg|left|thumb|300px|"Oh, thank God it's not the dildo name!"]]
A breakthrough would not occur until after the assassination of that universe's [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]]. Landquake and the others had been introduced to the fifth of their number, [[Heatwave]], and Breakaway believed with their powers combined, they could resurrect the Decepticon leader. But amidst their combined energy, their lifeforces were transported to a dimension in which Skyfall appeared to them. A voice called out to (a reasonably indignant) Skyfall and the others, telling them that they had a choice. They could either die and live forever, or live and fade away into obscurity. "That's a sucky choice!" Skyfall countered, but ultimately the five made their decision. The voice boomed: "Arise, Nexus Prime." {{storylink|Reunification: Part 5}}

After being reborn, Nexus Prime found himself in a battle with the Autobot superweapon [[Omega Doom]]. When Omega shot a missile into Cybertron's sun, Nexus Prime had to follow to repair the sun before it went nova. The Decepticon parts of his mind wanted to stay on Cybertron to fight, but were overridden by the Skyfall and Breakaway parts of him who knew that all of Cybertron would burn unless the sun was healed.

After Nexus was successful in repairing the sun and defeating Omega Doom, Cliffjumper bid the Skyfall and Landquake parts of him goodbye, as he stepped through a [[Stellar Spanner]] to whatever his fate would be next... {{storylink|Reunification: Part 6}}

*'''Skyfall''' (Basic, 2005)
**''Accessories'': Energon rifle, energon chip

: Skyfall is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Sky Shadow (Energon)|Sky Shadow]]/[[Terradive (Energon)|Terradive]] mold, transforming into an A-10 bomber plane. (In fact, he was shipped with a copy of ''Terradive's'' instructions.) He is also capable of forming a limb to any combination of ''Energon''-style combiners, but he is specifically intended to combine with [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]], [[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]], [[Topspin (Classics)|Topspin]], and [[Heatwave]] to form [[Nexus Maximus]].

: Skyfall was the first [[exclusive]] toy from the [[Fun Publications]] [[Transformers Collectors' Club]], given away free as an "early bird" to people who registered before a certain date. He was later made available for sale on their web-store and at [[BotCon]].

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Fireflight (G1)#G1 Series|Generation 1 Fireflight]] and [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#G1 Series|Skydive]], and ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Fireflight (ROTF)|Fireflight]] and [[Skydive (Movie)#Toys|Skydive]].

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2005/Autobot/Skyfall/skyfall.htm More information on Skyfall at TFU.info]''

==Notes==
* The force field that protects Skyfall has withstood all but two things: [[Megatron (G1)|Generation 1 Megatron]]'s [[fusion cannon]] and nutty [[Alpha Trion (SG)|Alpha Trion]]'s sword. It did save him from repeated blasts from [[Unicron]], though. Either Megatron and Alpha Trion are pretty impressive, or Unicron made a pretty embarrassing showing!
* Skyfall's toy [[instructions]] are identical to those of his mold-mate ''[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Terradive (Energon)|Terradive]], complete with the ''Energon'' logo, Terradive's name and his combiner team component number "A3".

Is this guy going to fly like in Transformers Cybertron? The article called Animated Optimus Prime said something about flying somewhere.([[User:Soldier 79|Soldier 79]] 01:07, 21 October 2007 (UTC))

Hey, his Bio says he's a washout. Should that go in now?--[[User:Chiasaur11|Chiasaur11]]

:I personally am opposed to adding bio information gleamed from presumedly-stolen toys, and I interpret the style guide as saying we should not do so, but this was apparently a point of some contention just last week with Prowl and Bumblebee. I know at least one person who agrees with me, but I don't know everyone that was involved with the initial formulation of the policy.
:There are a number of individuals (and officials here) who I would feel confident *guessing* feel the same way I do, but I don't know where to point you to see them state that. --[[User:Sntint|Sntint]] 20:57, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Sntint is correct -- we do not post information gleaned from leaks or stolen toys. We stick strictly to officially-released/condoned stuff. That goes for images, plot summaries, character names, etc.. Buyer samples -- if these particular toys even are legitimate samples and not simply being billed as such -- are a greyer area, admittedly, but we are staying away from them as well. Unless the toy was purchased from a retailer by a consumer, or the bio was officially released in some capacity (press release, website, promo flyer, etc.), we still consider it [[Help:Coming soon|"coming soon"]]. eBay is not a legitimate avenue for breaking news. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 23:14, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

:No, he was honestly worried about your neurological health. Seriously though, Transformers much stranger looking than him have existed. Plus, the exagerated difference between his chest and waist/legs give him a hypermasculine appearance, making him look more heroic, appropriate for the fearless leader of the Autobots.

:::::Slight problem. Neither of em are particularly funny, and certainly aren't any better or worse then the G1 joke [[User:GWolfv2]] 00.07 May 30th

::::::On the contrary, anything is funnier then G1 MODE ACTIVATE!--[[User:Skyglide|Skyglide]] 23:09, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

sure, make a joke about how he resembles g1 prime, BUT MY NO MEANS SHOULD IT SAY SOMETHING AS STUPIDLY UNFUNNY AS "G1 MODE ACTIVATE"! --[[User:Skyglide|Skyglide]] 23:14, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

==Nightwatch's voice actor==

Dude. He's definitely David Kaye! I saw it in the store, and it ''was'' Kaye. I even went through the voice clips several times for good measure. He even says lines from the show, including, "We're taking that driver down!" (The Thrill of the Hunt) and, "I'll protect the AllSpark!" (Transform and Roll Out?) So it is Kaye. --[[Special:Contributions/206.253.51.107|206.253.51.107]] 13:52, 21 March 2009 (EDT)
I agree, unmistakably Kaye's voice on that thing.--[[Special:Contributions/86.87.28.191|86.87.28.191]] 17:53, 21 September 2009 (EDT)

is it just me or if his cybertronian mode was coloured green, with a different head sculpt, wouldn't he be like kup?

==Transportation on transportation==
Upon viewing the Cybertron modes in the Almanac, I noticed on Optimus' tread-legs, he has the tiny wheels from the toy. This confuses me so much. Is this trivia material, though? --[[User:Malunis T|Malunis T]] 09:37, 4 October 2009 (EDT)

==Concept truck==
The concept truck mentioned in the Cybertron mode toy description is possibly false. I asked Derrick if the Cybertronian truck was based on the concept truck, and he claims he's never seen said concept truck until I showed it to him. Edited toy description to say it ''resembles'' the concept truck instead. [https://twitter.com/DerrickJWyatt/status/4949168669 Proof here] --[[User:Malunis T|Malunis T]] 16:31, 19 October 2009 (EDT)

== [[:Category: Autobot leaders]] ==

As pointed out on [[Talk:Rodimus Prime (Animated)#Category: Autobot leaders|Rodimus's talkpage]], neither Rodimus or Optimus Prime are really the leader of the Autobot in Animated, so it has been proposed that they both be removed from that category. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 10:31, 24 March 2010 (EDT)
: I wonder what the Allspark Almanac II will say about the last episode. 'Cuz it's possible that Optimus is Autobot leader NOW. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 11:18, 24 March 2010 (EDT)
:: On that specific subject, it will likely be silent.--[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 11:32, 24 March 2010 (EDT)
::: He's a leader of a GROUP of Autobots. Does that count? The category isn't Autobot Supreme Commanders or something. -- [[User:Semysane|Semysane]] 12:10, 24 March 2010 (EDT)
::::There are '''lots''' of Autobots that are leaders of a group of Autobots. Like the combiner team leaders and so forth. So it depends on what we want the category to be. I always assumed it was for characters who were at some point the leader of the Autobots. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 12:25, 24 March 2010 (EDT)
::::There are lots of '''''UNIT'''''''' leaders. And political leaders. There's only one Supreme Commander. The term Autobot leader is almost always used in regards to the Supreme Commander. And the only ones here are Magnus and Sentinel [[User:Eire]] 24 March 17.12 2010 (GMT)
::::Well frankly, neither Springer nor Impactor are in the category in spite of their being leaders of the Wreckers, so I've got to agree with using the Autobot leaders category as strictly referring to leaders of Autobots as a whole. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 13:28, 24 March 2010 (EDT)

== Optimus Prime Battle Blaster ==
It DOES have recorded sounds, the one in my local shop plays sounds when the Autobot insignia on the lights got pressed.--[[User:Sunjumper|Sunjumper]] 15:10, 31 March 2010 (EDT)

== Japanese Nicknames ==
In the Japanese dub of [[Transform and Roll Out]] part 1, there's a bit of dialogue between Bumblebee and Optimus during the preview for episode/part 2. Bumblebee rattles off a series of increasingly absurd nicknames for Optimus:
* "'''Brother Convoy'''" (コンボイニチャン ''Convoy-niichan'')
* "'''Opti'''" (オプティ)
* "'''Opera'''" (オプラ ''Opura'')
* "'''Pupu'''" (ププ)
Anyone think that these are worth mentioning? -- [[User:Ayellowbirds|Ayellowbirds]] 20:10, 13 April 2010 (EDT)
: [[Pupu]]. [[Opti]]. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 20:12, 13 April 2010 (EDT)
:: (They should probably also be mentioned in trivia.) --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 20:13, 13 April 2010 (EDT)
:::Bumblebee doesn't say "nii-chan" - he said "ii jan", as in "isn't it good". "Convoy de ii jan?" --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] 20:15, 13 April 2010 (EDT)
::::Lonegamer- On a second listening, you're right. So, change that to just "Convoy", I suppose.
::::ItsWalky- I was wondering if we should follow the precedent set by [[Ratchet_(G1)]]'s list of nicknames? -- [[User:Ayellowbirds|Ayellowbirds]] 20:27, 13 April 2010 (EDT)
:::::The "nicknames" at the tops of articles are not for nicknames that were used in fiction or fandom; they're specifically for nicknames that were included in pre-production versions of the Marvel "Transformers Universe" profiles in old issues of ''The Transformers Comic Magazine'', and every instance of such a listing is, AFAIK, cited as such (or was, when I did them a while ago). In retrospect, these particular nickname sections should be moved to the Notes sections of their respective pages instead, but IIRC when that happened with [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], they got put back at the top anyway by another user... --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 22:21, 13 April 2010 (EDT)

== "Trailerjet" ==

The arcade card that comes with Wingblade Optimus Prime says that his Alternate Mode is "Trailer-jet" (Tore-ra-jetto). You guys don't seem to list the alternate modes in a standardized manner, so should that still be mentioned? Or should it just go on the toy's section?[[Special:Contributions/98.222.213.161|98.222.213.161]] 16:18, 5 February 2011 (EST)
