:''Payload is a [[Decepticon]] and a type of mass-produced drone from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Payload-gamedrone.jpg|right|250px|thumb|SWAT? Maybe more like SMITE.]]

Transforming into an exceptionally fast and powerful armored truck, '''Payload''' is the one the Decepticons rely on to procure the money and energy they need to function on Earth. Whatever they need, wherever they need it, in their quest for the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]] it's Payload's job to get it to them, even if he has to smash right through [[Autobot]] lines to do it. Many of his allies would find his job [[Long Haul (ROTF)|boring and tedious]] compared to open fighting. But Payload not only understands how crucial his role is, but thoroughly enjoys it since it earns him praise for being a reliable soldier.

Both the Autobot and Decepticon armies make use of [[Class Beta drone unit]]s, which are heavily-armored, brutal melee fighters.

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Payload was one of the Decepticons who took part in the Battle of [[Tyger Pax]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. He was also with [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] during the interrogation of the surviving [[Autobot]] defenders. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}}

[[Image:ReignofStarscream4 Payload.jpg|left|250px|thumb|"Keg coming through!"]]

Payload himself was back on Cybertron, under the command of [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]]. When Starscream returned with the knowledge to build a new All Spark, [[Class Beta drone unit|Class Beta drones]] were among those assigned to guard the Autobot slaves who were being forced to build the new Cube. They brutally punished [[Warpath (Movie)|Warpath]] when he saw to the exhausted [[Grindcore (Movie)|Grindcore]]. Later, after the new All Spark was completed, Payload arrived leading a team of drones carrying the massive generators required to drain the [[Spark|life force]] out of the Autobot prisoners and put it into the Cube. He dissed Dreadwing's drone army for not being much help to them. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}}

Unfortunately for Starscream, the Cube didn't work, and Dreadwing's forces betrayed him. During the battle between Starscream's loyalists, [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee's]] Autobots and Dreadwing's traitors, Payload grappled with [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]], who eventually got the better of him. His fate is unknown. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

[[Image:Titan11_Bonecrusher.jpg|250px|thumb|right|"We'll just stand here... you know, just if you need us..."]]
Payload units are used in the occupation of Earth. They have no personality or higher consciousness, their dialogue being things like "Classification: Autobot. Identifying...". [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] smashes them real good. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}}

A team of snazzy red Payloads were used to guard the [[Savannah]] All Spark facility. [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] had them stand down so he could beat up the Autobots himself {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} and they got so bored they painted themselves blue again between issues. When they were allowed to battle, they almost overwhelmed the Autobot rebels but eventually failed to kill them or save the facility. Also, ''[[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]]'' smashed them real good simply cos they were in the way. Not the best boss on Earth... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

[[Image:Payloads_Titan24.JPG|left|250px|thumb|''Move bitch, get out the way Get out the way...'']]

An army of Payloads made an assault on oil pipelines in [[Alaska]] as part of a major campaign. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

An even ''bigger'' army of them stood around going "GRRRR" as part of a Decepticon group shot when the [[Decepticon Heartland]] prepared for war. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}} And an even bigger army than ''that'' served as the bulk of the invasion force when Starscream announced the re-conquest of the USA.

Unfortunately for Starscream, the Payloads under [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]] were intercepted by [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]] and his crew, and [[Fracture]] reprogrammed the entire platoon to work for ''them''. They became the first defected drones in a [[Decepticon Civil War]], including [[:Image:Titan24_greenMdrone.jpg|some with different colouring schemes]], {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 24|Revolution Part 2}} and soon ''all'' of them were under Stockade's command, since every one that wasn't had been slagged.

Following the sudden Autobot strike that saw every Decepticon exiled from Earth, the Payloads remained. The Autobots have now got the task of decommissioning all of these drones. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part 3}}

===''The Veiled Threat'' prequel novel===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Alliance (comic)|Alliance]]'' comic.}}

Payload (who now turns into an anti-aircraft tank) is a core member of Starscream's Decepticon team and fights in several battles in Africa. He tried to destroy a dam while [[Macerator]] and Starscream held off the Autobots, but was briefly distracted by Ratchet, who he promptly slagged. He was unprepared for the military opening up the floodgates however, and was washed away in the ensuing torrent. His ultimate fate is unknown.{{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}

===''Transformers'' (2010) packaging bio===
When the [[Decepticon]]s need something delivered, they can turn to the [[Constructicon Warrior]] '''Payload'''. His heavily armored and powerful body allows him to simply smash obstacles. [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] is the latest Autobot to get in his way, and Payload is amused that Ratchet thinks he can stop him.

==Games==
===''Battle For the Allspark'' online game===
[[Image:Payload head.jpg|left|125px|thumb|Payload units can be either Autobot (top) or Decepticon (bottom)]]
Payload units of both sides have a strong defense, good attack, but poor speed. They are differentiated by little more than the make of their noggins; Autobot versions use a facemask-with-optics model, while Decepticons have a circular lens-face. {{storylink|Battle for the Allspark|Battle for the Allspark}}

===''Transformers: The Game'' (console)===
Payloads show up in [[Mission City]] to put the hurt on both Autobot and Decepticon alike. Their primary attack is an unstoppable running charge that can send even the likes of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] reeling. The only way to break them out of this attack is to nail them with a thrown object or melee attack when they briefly pause between charges.

Payloads also appear in the bonus [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] levels on both sides.

Aside from the aforementioned head differences, Decepticon Payloads are dark blue, while the Autobot versions are silver-white. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game (console)}}

===Transformers: Autobots/Decepticons===
Payload's body frame has been shown in numerous forms: his Armored Truck mode, the Peace Van, the Moving Truck, the School Bus, the Ice Cream Truck, the Death Truck, the Funky Bus, the SWAT Van, and the Prison Bus. Certain forms have either the Autobot head or the Decepticon head, but which game is unimportant; the same vehicle has the same head in both games. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons}}

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
[[Image:Movie-Payload-Toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|MORE LIKE PEGLOAD AMIRITE?]]
*'''Payload''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''MD-17'''

: Payload transforms into a [http://www.alpineco.com/armored/swat/Bulldog2.html Bulldog II Armored Truck] model based on the Decepticon-drone coloration and face type. In robot mode, his midsection has a large push-out grabber-claw that extends waaaaaaaaaaaaay far out. However, in order to do this, the claw-shaft sticks far out of his back in robot mode, making posing and display in narrow spaces difficult. It also makes him hard to balance.

: Several pieces on Payload tend to pop off easily: his brush guard, midriff-plate/claw-center, and even his upper shoulder/head assembly. The mold was later retooled to include larger pegs for the shoulder/head assembly and an added tab on the brushguard, to connect to the new slot in the claw plunger. While this was intended to give the pieces a better fit, it actually puts more pressure on the parts and causes them to pop off even more easily. The chest piece, however, fits fairly well on either version but is still easy to remove.

: Payload had a tendency to [[Shelfwarmer|sit on shelves]] for weeks, with some examples of end displays filled completely with Payload figures. This has led to some fans affectionately renaming him as ''Pegload''.

===Transformers (2010)===
[[Image:TF2010Payload toy.jpg|right|thumb|300px|An [[Army-building|army builder]]'s dream.]]
*'''Payload''' (Voyager Class, 2010)

: A [[redeco]] of the ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager-class [[Long Haul (ROTF)#Toys|Long Haul]], Payload transforms from a genericized "earth mover" dump truck with a functional truck bed into a bulky robot mode. In robot mode, he has three "[[Mech Alive]]" gimmicks: Turning his head also turns a cog in his chest, bending his elbows moves some pistons, and finally, moving his feet also moves the "springs" connected to them inwards. Only the piston gimmick is advertised on the packaging. Meanwhile, each forearm houses a spring-loaded, flip-out sword.

==Merchandise==
===3D Battle-Card Game===
* '''Payload''' (3D Battle Card, 2007)
**''Card number:''

: In the [[3D Battle-Card Game]], the Payload is on the Decepticon side. Pieces punched out from two different cards can be assembled to form a SWAT truck or a robot, while a third double-sided card gives its stats and attacks for each mode. He uses the same piece layout as [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], though his lens-head peeking up over the back end of his vehicle mode looks less doofy than Ratchet's does. His card art was done by [[Lucio Parrillo]].

==Notes==
* Artist [[Ken Christiansen]] designed Payload (and the subsequent [[Class Beta drone unit]]s), along with the other new characters in the [[Transformers The Game|''Transformers'' - The Game]] and [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' - The Game]] video games. The security company logos on his design and the toy, "Armored Security Systems", spells out "ASS". Christiansen says this was [http://badflipblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/tf1-armored-truck-drone.html not intentional].
* Payload's altmode as an Decepticon anti-aircraft tank in ''The Veiled Threat'' gives him a form similar to that of the unreleased Gunbarrel toy, who appeared unnamed in the Transformers: Alliance comic at the same time. Whether they were meant to be the same character is unknown.
* 2010 Payload's packaging bio describes him as an armored transport vehicle and has the same [[Tech Spec]] numbers as 2007 Payload. Sneaky Hasbro, making them the same guy!
* Hasbro has stated in the [[Hasbro Q&A/March 2010: Answers|March 2010 Q&A session]] that 2010 Payload is one of the Constructicon Warriors appearing in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|Revenge of the Fallen video games]]. Guess he moonlights as an armored truck.

:''Ratchet is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Movie Ratchet promorender.jpg|right|300px|thumb|He's not a Vanette with a siren slapped on. (Instead, he's a Hummer with a rescue truck shell slapped on. Progress!)]]
'''Ratchet''', the Autobots' medic, is probably the bravest of them all. He'll risk his life to pull any wounded comrade from the battlefield. Indeed, he did not join [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s team to be a soldier; rather, he's there to save lives, and thinks Prime is the best chance the universe has for peace.

A medic who dislikes violence, Ratchet's well-armed appearance is more due to being an improviser with surgical tools, such as his buzzsaw, which he discovered he had a penchant for due to his early experiences as a tool-and-die maker<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro Ratchet Battle Bio]</ref>. When combat is unavoidable, he can employ these makeshift weapons with surprising agility for his size.

His closest comrade is [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], and they share a common enemy in [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]]. <ref>Hasbro Ratchet Battle Bio again</ref>

[[Image:Titan Ratchet offmodel.jpg|left|250px|thumb|How the crap are they missing a target ''that'' big?]]

Ratchet used to be a politician, Optimus Prime's chief liaison to the [[High Council of Ancients]]. He tried to find a peaceful solution to the civil war, and when this failed, he became a battlefield medic. {{storylink|Transformers: The Movie Guide}}

He would later be one of three Autobots who tried to prevent [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] from reaching the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]]. However, they hadn't expected [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] to be demented enough to set off a [[foldspace warhead]] at pointblank range, a weapon that warped everyone to different parts of the galaxy. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|Prelude: Megatron}} As well as ending up in a different body, Ratchet found himself stuck in the middle of a genocidal alien war that uncomfortably mirrored Cybertron's own. By challenging and defeating [[Durguth]], the local tyrant, he became ruler of the [[Thraal]] faction. He then ordered a ceasefire and oversaw an interim alliance, effectively bringing peace to the planet single-handed. He then set up a homing beacon in the hope of getting rescued. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3|Prelude: Ratchet}}

[[Image:Titan Ratchet notanambulance.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Ratchet... in a ''non''-medical alt mode?! You go too far, Furman!]]

[[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] eventually detected the beacon, Ratchet switched back to his green form, and the two began searching for Jazz when he didn't show. They rescued him from a predatory alien planet and then returned to Cybertron. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 6|Lost In Space Part 4: Jazz}} Once on Cybertron, he decided to try out that white body again, and was part of a mission to ''finally'' medevac [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Prime Directive (IDW) issue 1}}

Centuries later and immediately following the death of Megatron, Ratchet (having gone back to green) and his comrades were attacked by [[zombie]] Decepticons. After being briefly smacked aside in the fight, it occurred to Ratchet that the corpses were being animated by AllSpark energy stolen from the [[Allspark Mutation|Allspark Mutations]], and this knowledge turned the tide before the Autobots were wiped out. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 7|Starscream's Militia}}
{{-}}

{{notetitantlg}}
Ratchet was part of the outnumbered human-Autobot resistance in the conquered [[United States of America]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} Along with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], he infiltrated a Decepticon facility disguised as a (purple) Payload to stop them using the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]] to transform Earth, and he reluctantly decided to let the AllSpark be destroyed if it was the only way to save Earth. Unfortunately, [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] let them into the facility to kill them! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}}

[[Image:RatchetArmorhide_letsdoit.jpg|left|400px|thumb|Ratchet's a trendsetter, and if only the trend was having a consistent colour scheme and look between issues...]]

Ratchet's quick tactical thinking (absorbing nearby ore to reform his offensive weaponry and armour) immediately turned the tide against the Decepticon, but only the arrival of [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee and her crew]] stopped him from being gunned down by Swindles. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} Despite this, drone numbers were against them, and Ratchet didn't believe they could pull off a victory until he noticed a way to bypass the AllSpark's defensive forcefield and destroy the Cube with regular weaponry. Ratchet did this, saving Earth at the cost of the AllSpark, though he begged for forgiveness as he destroyed it. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

To his relief, a fragment of the AllSpark had survived. Optimus, worried about the fragment being corrupted by exposure to Megatron, made Ratchet its guardian. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} However, in the face of great Decepticon numbers, Ratchet took an unauthorised risk and used the fragment to bring Jazz back to life. The fragment's corruption meant Jazz was brought back amoral and self-serving, and Ratchet was left distraught at what he'd done. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

[[Image:Ratchet_Titan16notonmywatch.jpg|right|350px|thumb|"A proper mouth, at last!"]]

When the Autobots received an SOS from Ironhide's team on Cybertron, the entire team mobilised to head there. Ratchet hurriedly picked up [[Mikaela Banes]] so she could watch their base, ignoring every single traffic law as he did so. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} When on Cybertron, Ratchet found himself in battle against [[Unicron]], trying to separate him from the [[Nucleon]] he was using to power his physical body (a possessed Cybertron!). It became clear fast that the Autobot's plan was not going to work fast enough, but Ratchet realised that such a large structure would have an energy distribution network around them; rather than drain the Nucleon manually, he sped things up by having everyone shoot the distribution network until it blew up, causing the energy to be used up in an internal fire. Who needs a [[Matrix]] when you have Ratchet! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

After the Decepticons re-took Savannah, Ratchet was part of the ground troops sent in to rescue Mikaela. He did bog all there, really. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance1 Ratchet Jazz vocalprocessors.jpg|left|250px|thumb|You turbo revvin young punks are always in the way!]]

Many years before the war, First Officer Ratchet was a member of the science sector on Cybertron. He greeted Commander [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] when the latter returned from a patrol in the [[Eshems Nebula]] and repaired his wounds. When he reported of promising findings in the archaeological site near the temple of [[Simfur]], Starscream was somewhat dismissive of the science division's efforts in light of their previous failures. Later, at the excavation site, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] tweaked Ratchet by asking if the artifacts found were as old as the first officer. Ratchet exaggerated being upset and deployed his various tools, threatening Jazz that he was just as good as disabling [[Vocal processor|vocal processors]] as he was fixing them. When Optimus walked off with Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], Ratchet wacked Jazz on the back of the head. He was present when [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee's]] team found a strange artifact with the [[Decepticon|strange symbol]] and helped escort the relic out of the dig site when the aliens whom Starscream had encountered earlier suddenly attacked the planet. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1}}

After the alien attack ceased, Ratchet and Arcee analysed the remains of the attackers, discovering that the aliens were similar in structures to Cybertronians, even to the point of having something similar to a [[spark]] core, but only lacked the means to [[transform]]. Before they could speculate further, [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]] arrived, with orders from Optimus to assemble for a meeting immediately. At the gathering, Optimus explained how Megatron was demanding they betray their principals of pacifism to go to war with the aliens, and while he implored to the members of his science division to not leave with the army, he also said they could freely choose to go without fear of reprimand. Naturally, Ratchet stayed on Optimus' side. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2}}

[[Image:Defiance3_labwork_RatchetArceeElita.jpg|thumb|250px|]]

Hoping to learn some answers about the mysterious relic, Ratchet, [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] and Arcee took most of the recovered fragments found at the dig site to the lab for immediate examination. After Optimus Prime, Jazz and [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] broke into Megatron's quarters to get a close look at the intact relic, Ratchet was surprised to learn that the ancient monolith seemed to be in better than had found it in. An unexpected shock same when analysis of the fragments detected the same symbol in the same area on all the different pieces, and what's more, the symbol was also on Optimus's head. Ratchet claimed that this was proof that the [[Dynasty of Primes]] existed, and that Optimus was linked to them. Later, at a dig site near [[Burthov]], Ratchet bestowed the name Optimus '''''Prime''''' on his leader, with the opinion that it had a nice ring to it, though Optimus himself thought it might mean "[[Optimus Prime (G1)#Dreamwave comics continuity|records clerk]]" for all they knew. Examining the ruins, Optimus wondered aloud why only the relic Megatron possessed remained intact, leading Ratchet to hypothesis that the others had been smashed deliberately. Further speculation was halted by Prowl's security detachment, who had orders to arrest Optimus on flimsy charges of treason. As they were being led away, what no one in the group realised was Megatron had marked all but Optimus for death. Ratchet assisted in the recovery of Prowl when [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] fired an explosive shell into the convoy. As the group made a run for Burthov, Optimus Prime personally took care of Starscream's group. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3}} After those following Optimus Prime were declared traitors, the planet erupted into civil war. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4}}

During the war, Optimus Prime decided to launch the AllSpark into space to keep it out of Lord Megatron's hands. [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s team was successful in diverting the Decepticon leader's attention at [[Tyger Pax]], but the young Autobot was greviously injured as a result. As he was carried away on a stretcher, Ratchet declared Bumblebee a hero for delaying Megatron long enough for their plan to work. Ratchet repaired his body, but contrary to what he told Jazz years earlier, was unable to repair Bumblebee's vocal processor. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Prime Directive (IDW) issue 1}}

{{note|The inability to repair Bumblebee's vocal processor (or "voice capacitor", as it is referred to in IDW's [[Movie Prequel (2007)|2007 Movie Prequel]]) is at odds with the movie itself where Ratchet said he was working on it, and eventually, Bumblebee does regain his voice.}}

Hearing [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee's]] call for assistance, Ratchet and the other Autobots under Optimus Prime's direct command came to Earth, with Ratchet crashing into a storefront. As emergency crews and [[Café kid|bystanders]] observed the wreckage, Ratchet assumed the vehicle mode of a nearby Hummer H2 rescue vehicle and drove away.

[[Image:Ratchetmovieautobotsforshort.jpg|left|250px|thumb|"The boy's pheromone levels suggests he wants to mate with the female. Other way around, not so much."]]

Ratchet linked up with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], then made their way to a deserted alley to meet up with Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and their new [[Sam Witwicky|human]] [[Mikaela Banes|friends]]. After being introduced as the unit's medical officer, Ratchet remarked that his sensors indicated that Sam's pheromone levels suggested he wanted to mate with Mikaela. (Neither Sam nor Mikaela appreciated this comment.) He also explained how Bumblebee's [[Circuits|voicebox]] was damaged and that he had been having trouble fixing it for some time.

Following Sam to his house, Ratchet and their other Autobots unwittingly caused much destruction to the Witwicky yard and stress to Sam when they attempted to help the boy look for his [[Archibald Witwicky|grandfather's]] glasses. After Sam told them to hide, Ratchet accidentally walked into some power lines, which shocked him enough to make him fall onto a greenhouse. Ratchet found the experience tingly and suggested to Ironhide that he try it, and Ironhide sarcastically mused that it looked fun, but unfortunately, it had caused a neighborhood-wide blackout, making the search for the glasses much more difficult. Ratchet attempted to help by activating his powerful floodlights, which only succeeded in making [[Ron Witwicky|the]] [[Judy Witwicky|parents]] investigate Sam's room. When Ironhide remarked that Sam's parents were annoying, Ratchet sarcastically agreed with him with a triple "yeah". Ironhide then requested Prime's permission to "take them out," and Ratchet, suddenly alarmed, tried to stop the massive cannon only with words and a hand. Maybe that power surge did more damage than suspected.

[[Image:Movie Ratchet Ironhide runSam.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Oh, that hurt!]]

Soon, Sam, Mikaela and his parents were captured by the mysterious [[Sector Seven]]. Ratchet and the other Autobots totally outclassed the S7 agents by instantly disarming them of their weapons, then rescuing the boy and his girl. Their dramatic escape was to be short-lived, and Bumblebee was captured while saving his human friends' lives. The next morning, the remaining Autobots gathered to discuss their options. Whether through intuition or some technological means, Ratchet announced that the Decepticons were preparing to make their move. Optimus Prime declared that if they could not defeat the Decepticons, he would fuse the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]] with his own [[spark]], hopefully destroying it. Ratchet cautioned him against this action, as the raw power of the artifact would likely kill him. Prime replied that it was his own choice, and to save the humans from destruction and the mistakes of the Transformers, it was a sacrifice that he was willing to make. Inspired by his words, the Autobots headed to [[Hoover Dam]], before encountering Bumblebee leading a column of Sector Seven vehicles headed in the opposite direction.

As the large group arrived in [[Mission City]], it was attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], with the explosion crippling Bumblebee. At the same time, [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] attacked the surviving human soldiers, prompting Ratchet and Jazz to engage the large Decepticon. As Jazz destroyed one of Devastator's rocket pods, Ratchet used his buzzsaw to slice off the tank's left arm.

[[Image:Movie Prime Jazz Ironhide Ratchet battleaftermath.jpg|left|300px|thumb|"We lost a great comrade." ...*toss*]]

[[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] ordered Sam to take the AllSpark to the rooftop of a nearby, run-down building so he could pass the cube to a military helicopter that would soon arrive. Ratchet and Ironhide volunteered themselves to protect Sam as he made his escape. Unfortunately, the villainous Starscream swooped down to block Sam's path, forcing the Autobots to engage him in a rather one-sided battle that left them both damaged. Ratchet and Ironhide collapsed, and Sam had to continue on his own.

After the defeat of Megatron and the destruction of the AllSpark, Ratchet somberly informed Optimus Prime that he could not save the fallen Jazz. Later, as Optimus declared that Earth was their new home and that his team would be waiting for any surviving Autobots to gather there, Ratchet spent the remainder of the day observing Sam and Mikaela making out on the hood of Bumblebee's vehicle mode. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

[[Image:Alliance1 Ratchet Dew.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Yeah Ratchet, but why can't you tell this to all Americans?]]

After the battle of Mission City, Ratchet was reattaching Bumblebee's legs when [[Dispensor|an AllSpark mutation]] attacked Sam. Ratchet crushed the hostile creature with his foot, but was surprised to discover that it contained substances loaded with stimulants and ingredients harmful to humans such as Sam and Mikaela. After repairing Bumblebee and retrieving Jazz's remains, the Autobots rolled out to evade Sector Seven. In the month that followed, Ratchet became fascinated with Earth's varied minerals, such that [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] joked that the Autobots were late to meet them because Ratchet had stopped to take soil samples again. {{storylink|Alliance issue 1}}

[[Image:Alliance4_Ratchet_Ironhide_stylish.jpg|thumb|left|200px|]]

Ratchet arrived at Sector Seven's secret base in the [[Nevada]] desert with the other Autobots to help escort the Decepticon remains to [[California|San Diego, California]]. He stayed with Prime when the Autobot leader sent Bumblebee and Ironhide back to retrieve the AllSpark sliver Prime had left in Sector Seven's care. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2}} The convoy returned to the base anyway after the level of destruction caused by the Decepticons was reported. Ratchet could be seen assisting the damaged Bumblebee. By the time the Autobots were on [[United States Navy|US Navy aircraft carrier]] weeks later for Jazz's burial-at-sea, Ratchet had repaired Bumblebee's outer panels (giving him a new body kit), but was evidently unable to fully restore Bumblebee's [[vocal processor]]s. The Autobots subsequently agreed to [[NEST|a formal alliance with the US military]], and they began training on the island of [[Diego Garcia]]. Soon after, the Decepticons [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] and [[Dead End (Movie)|Dead End]] were detected in [[San Francisco]]. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3}}

In San Francisco, Ratchet and Ironhide bantered about how the former's vehicle mode was more suited to [[N.E.S.T.]]'s cover story of a chemical spill, while the latter asserted that he was the more stylish of the pair. After Optimus Prime disabled Dead End, Ratchet did not detect any energy readings in the Decepticon. After the Decepticons were dealt with, Optimus and Major Lennox agreed that the Decepticons would most likely pursue Sam Witwicky again, and so he ''must'' be protected. As Bumblebee left, a sad Ratchet thanked the younger Autobot and promised that they'll keep working on his vocal processors, being sure that they could get them working again. Soon, more Decepticons were being sighted on Earth, and during a subsequent battle in [[Florida]], Ratchet was pinned to the ground by the much larger [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]]. Ratchet used his hand saw to cut into the Decepticon's ankle, distracting Incinerator enough for Optimus Prime to run his energy sword through him. An event that brought joy and hope to all was the arrival of new Autobot refugees to Earth, though this was tempered with the news of even more Decepticon sightings, and training of the new recruits were put to the test when [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] was spotted in [[Shanghai]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4}}

===''The Veiled Threat'' prequel novel===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Alliance (comic)|Alliance]]'' comic.}}

On their way back to [[Diego Garcia]], Ratchet watched Ironhide scare the crap out of [[Erasto Khalfani|a pirate]] who was trying to attack their ship. Later, he accompanied a [[NEST]] team including Ironhide, Optimus, [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]], and [[Beachbreak]] to the Zambezi River to battle the Decepticons that had appeared there.Ratchet engaged the smaller [[Dropkick]], leaving Prime and Ironhide to take [[Macerator]] and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]]. Shortly after; Optimus was swept over the falls; when Beachbreak lowered his cable, Ratchet transmitted to Prime to grab it and then helped haul him up.

Shortly afterwards, the team traveled to a nearby dam on the Zambezi, just as the Decepticons began their attack. Payload took up position down the gorge and began to fire on the dam. Ratchet climbed up onto the structure and did his best to patch the holes, even as he took fire from the Decepticon. Eventually, he was saved when [[William Lennox]] opened the emergency floodgates, releasing a torrent of water that sent Payload crashing away.

It took him a good deal of time to recover, so he missed out on the missions to [[Peru]] and [[Australia]]. But he was ready to join the team for the trip to Rome, and helped in the battle against [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Dead End (Movie)|Deadend]], and Starscream.

[[Image:ROTFmovie_Ratchetisawesome.jpg|thumb|300px|"It's a Medigun! It's the exact opposite of a weapon!"]]

Ratchet stayed at NEST's [[Diego Garcia]] base during the team's mission in [[China|Shanghai]]. He was deployed when [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]—who was resurrected with the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]] shard stolen from the NEST facility—began hunting for [[Sam Witwicky]]. Along with his comrades, Ratchet came too late to aid [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], who was protecting Sam from Megatron, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]. Ratchet ordered Bumblebee to get Sam to safety, while he and the rest of the Autobots provided cover fire, driving Megatron and Starscream off. The Autobots then located Prime's body, but there was nothing Ratchet could do for him: Optimus Prime was dead.

NEST returned to a US airbase with Optimus' body, only to be surrounded by [[United States military]] forces who had grown fearful of the Autobots' presence attracting more Decepticons to Earth following Prime's death. Director [[Theodore Galloway]], who was behind NEST's shutdown, believed that humanity was sufficiently advanced enough to battle off the Decepticons, and also announced that they would buy time by negotiating with the Decepticons. Ratchet made no effort to conceal his low opinion of Galloway, believing him a "terribly misinformed" fool. Ratchet himself suggested that if the Autobots were unwelcomed, then they should simply leave Earth, but [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] opined that Optimus would not want them to leave. Reluctantly, the Autobots stood down and allowed themselves be kept under nets to restrain them.
[[Image:Jetfire-ROTFripoutspark.jpg|thumb|300px|left|Hippocratic Oath be damned!]]
Director Galloway ordered the Autobots retreat to Diego Garcia—but when Major [[William Lennox]] learned Witwicky had travelled to [[Egypt]] to find the [[Matrix of Leadership]], which could be used to resurrect Prime, they were sent there instead. Ratchet fought off many Decepticons during [[Operation: Firestorm]] before Sam arrived and revived Prime with the Matrix. However, Prime was still weakened and [[the Fallen]] arrived to steal the Matrix so he could activate his [[solar harvester]]. A defected Decepticon named [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] sacrificed himself so Optimus could use his parts to fly to the solar harvester: Ratchet ordered [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] to electrify Jetfire's body and begin a full transplant of the weapons systems and afterburners onto Optimus. Having combined, Optimus flew off to destroy the harvester and kill the Fallen. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' toy bios===
Ratchet has devoted his existence to the study of life in all its forms. The simple fact of life is, to his mind, the greatest testament to the majesty of the universe. Because of this, he has committed himself to fighting the Decepticons and their murderous advances. {{storylink|#Robot Replicas 2|Autobot Ratchet}} As a result, when more Decepticons were detected on Earth Ratchet immediately began research into how best to upgrade his weapons. Two months later, he'd developed a new particle beam blaster. {{storylink|#Fast Action Battlers 2|Beam Blast Autobot Ratchet}} He's also found the time to assist [[Blowpipe (ROTF)|Blowpipe]] with his body modifications, making Blowpipe stronger and faster through a fusion of Earth and Cybertronian technology {{storylink|Blowpipe (ROTF)|Super Tuner Throwdown}}, and to both add a pair of human missile launchers to Bumblebee and make his weapons available in vehicle mode. {{storylink|Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Deluxe_Class_toys_2|Cannon Bumblebee}}

While Ratchet and Blackout are total opposites {{storylink|#Titanium Series 2|Rescue Ratchet Vs. Blackout}}, Ratchet's very attitude offends the mighty Megatron. {{storylink|#AutobotRatchetVsMegatron|Autobot Ratchet VS Megatron}} More directly pressing for Ratchet, however, was an encounter with the meticulous [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]], whose careful scheming and power of flight put Ratchet at a serious disadvantage.

When [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] went on a rampage in [[Mission City]], Ratchet went to stop him. After Ratchet's [[EMP]] blaster malfunctioned, Lockdown beat him up, took the weapon and escaped with it. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 3}}

Later, he was found by Sideswipe, who took him back to [[Diego Garcia]] and patched him up in the Medical Bay. Not soon after, Lockdown attacked the base, and Sideswipe held him off. Soon he was able to blast the EMP blaster off of Lockdown's wrist, and it slid back to Ratchet. Lockdown tried to retreat, much to Sideswipe's dismay, but Ratchet informed him that he was headed straight for the Medical Bay. Lockdown entered...and a few seconds later was captured by the robotic arms, which were programmed by Ratchet to hold him down and sedate him. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 7}}

When three raw recruits brought in the dying Decepticon [[Dead End (ROTF)|Dead End]], Ratchet used his medical skills to save the poor wretch. After discovering that Dead End had been decaying on a molecular level and that he would have died if the cadets hadn't brought him in, Ratchet informed the cadets that he believed they had what it took to be Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.11|Spare Parts!}}

{{note|The following events occur in the Law and Disorder continuity.}}

Ratchet believes in approaching matters diplomatically and cordially, as when Ironhide presented Barricade with his Christmas present for the Decepticon - which was actually a trick for Ironhide to punch Barricade. Whether or not Ratchet actually will give presents to Decepticons is unknown. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|#7's Law and Disorder}}

When Ironhide was jumped by Long Haul in Shanghai, Ratchet went in to find Ironhide, bring him back online, and escort him to an extraction point for further repair later on. Later, Ratchet was deployed to rescue three trapped engineers and bring them to saftey. Ratchet then oversaw Sam's rescue from Grindor and Optimus Prime's battle with Starscream.

*'''Autobot Ratchet''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Ratchet'''

:An inexpensive, small-scale version of Ratchet, he remains relatively faithful to his vehicle mode (though highly simplified), but transforms very differently due to his simplicity. In robot mode he has a faux truck-front chest that's more faithful to the CGI design than the Voyager toy's chest, but the rest of his robot mode is (understandably) inaccurate and limited in articulation.

: His spare tire, mounted on the rear end of his roof in vehicle mode, is actually a free-spinning wheel just like the normal four (albeit with a somewhat stiffer joint), and the same size as the front wheels... meaning that, in theory, it could be used as an ''actual'' spare tire.

[[Image:Movie legends ratchet colorvariants.jpg|left|250px|thumb|He's feeling a little green around the manifolds.]]
:The original production run of the toy sported a significantly wrong shade of green. A running change variant that quickly replaced the original version corrected the error, now sporting the same shade of green as the Voyager Class toy.<ref>[http://www.thetf.net/forum_posts-TID-10086-PN-1.htm Comparison images of both color variants of Legends Ratchet]</ref> Still, the color variant was not limited to the US market, as both versions also popped up in Europe.

*'''Autobot Ratchet''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Roof rack/claw

:Voyager ''Movie'' Ratchet transforms into a [[wikipedia:Hummer_H2|AM General Hummer H2]], customised as a fire search and rescue vehicle. Ratchet is also missing significant amounts of paint applications, with unpainted wheels, emergency tools, and light details, as well as a underpainted face, resulting in a rather monochromatic toy.

:During transformation, unfolding his legs will activate his [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature, which folds out his kneepads and feet, and 'bulges' out two small panels along his inner calves. The only Autobot toy to not feature a ranged weapon, Ratchet's right forearm unfolds into an axe (based upon a weapon concept study), and the removable rollbar/roof rack can either be mounted on his left arm as a shield/claw, or stored on his back.

:Oddly, although Ratchet's thumbs are articulated, space is so restricted that they are all but useless. His left thumb can only move a millimeter due to his wrist armour getting in the way. His right thumb does have more space to move, but pushing it will invariably disengage the fold-out axe from his forearm.
:Ratchet can attach (loosely) a [[Mini-Con]] on the rollbar/roof rack, and can hold a standard weapon via the shield/claw mount.{{-}}

:Rescue Ratchet is an extensive [[redeco]] based in part upon ''Generation 1'' [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet's]] [[Marvel Comics]] appearance. Aside from the deco and name change, the toy is otherwise the same in functionality to the previous Voyager class release.

:Oddly for a deco described as being ''more'' likely for the type of vehicle, Rescue Ratchet's vehicle mode—a fire search and rescue vehicle—is prominently labeled "AMBULANCE."

: This same deco was adapted and used as an alternate for Ratchet in the multiplayer mode for the [[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|Revenge of the Fallen]] game.

:Ratchet was one of the first figures in the ''Premium Series'', released on October 16th, 2007 exclusively at Best Buy for the launch of the ''Transformers'' movie DVD. Ratchet's main plastic has been changed to a metallic yellow, with an additional coat of metallic yellow paint over the top of those parts (and others), resulting in a much more accurate colour scheme in relation to the actual ''Movie'' character and prop vehicle.

:Ratchet was presented in robot mode, within a special display package similar in shape to the packaging for the Hasbro release of ''Generation 1'' ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. Even though Hasbro officially considers him as part of the Premium Series, this is not indicated anywhere on the packaging, as the Premium Series wasn't officially announced until ''after'' Ratchet and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] had already been released to stores.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''QC-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile
:[[Fast Action Battler]] Ratchet is a small, deluxe-sized figure with limited articulation and a simple transformation. He features a spring-loaded missile-firing axe, a "robot punch" [[gimmick]], and [[Automorph Technology|automorphing]]. To activate the "robot punch", one must twist and release Ratchet's torso. An inner spring will cause it to snap back to (more or less) anatomical position. His front grille can be rotated 180 degrees, which powers the automorphing feature, and causes Ratchet's front fenders, doors, and roof to separate during transformation from vehicle to robot and form his shoulders and arms (and vice versa). Unfortunately, this sacrifices [[Show-accuracy|show accuracy]], as the grille ends up ''right-side up'', while the rest of his [[Alt-mode|alt mode]] cab remains upside-down.

**''Accessories:'' Gun, projectile

:Deluxe class Ratchet is an all-new mold that is more accurate to Ratchet's final robot mode design when compared to his Voyager class toys. However, his vehicle mode has been changed to something akin to a military Humvee, albeit in Ratchet's distinctive emergency rescue regalia. He also features a new "launching [[EMP]] blast missile"-launcher weapon that resembles the arm-mounted machine gun that Ratchet uses in the films. Ratchet's [[Mech Alive]] feature is unlocked when the missile launcher is plugged into his arm, in which gearing moves pieces into place around the weapon as it's locked into place. His chest also has an [[Automorph]]-like rearrangement of his chest-mounted headlights into robot mode configuration as his abdomen is pushed down into place. Ratchet's head has the peculiar feature of having two [[ball joint]] sockets stacked one atop the other- there is the shallow socket that his head is set at in the package which allows superior mobility, then a deeper one that limits head movement but conceals his neck joint. The deeper socket can be used by pushing the head down.

: The missile launcher weapon can also be attached to Deluxe [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]], echoing the interactive features of their ''[[Ratchet (Animated)|Animated]]'' [[Lockdown (Animated)|counterparts']] toys. Likewise, Lockdown's engine can plug into Ratchet's rooftop, but that looks kinda doofy.

*According to [[Meet the Autobots]], Ratchet has X-ray vision, which lets him see for miles.

*In the hardcover [[Transformers: The Movie Guide|''Transformers: The Movie Guide'']], it is noted that Ratchet can cannibalize his own parts for emergency treatment of a patient; he carries within him redundant systems for such situations. (This only turns up once in a story though, in [[Transformers Comic issue 16|one of Titan's issues]]) He can also tow up to 300 lbs over his own weight in vehicle form, and his specialization isn't listed as being a medic, but in actually '''getting''' to the wounded.

*In the hardcover ''Movie Guide'' it is noted that Ratchet is one of the few Autobots that could conceivably give Megatron a decent fight one-on-one before being dismembered and fed upon.

*In the Transformers guide to the movie, the book proclaims that "Ratchet carefully chose his landing site to avoid loss of human life." Yet he is seen crashing in the middle of the street, causing fires and several minor explosions. Maybe Ratchet ''thought'' he was avoiding loss of human life.

*Ratchet's toy packaging proclaims he has an "[[Automorph]] Forearm Cannon". However, the toy obviously lacks this weapon. At the Hasbro Tour during [[BotCon 2007]], an early design [[prototype]] of Ratchet was displayed during a slide show, with similar callouts. Presumably, the forearm cannon was attempted, but dropped due to either engineering issues or cost.

*Ratchet is the only Autobot introduced in the first ''Transformers'' film never to have been given a close-up transformation sequence in the first film or its sequel, ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

*Ratchet's toys are part of a matrix of cross-referencing [[Redeco|redecos]], along with [[Ratchet (Animated)|''Animated'' Ratchet]] and [[Ratchet (G1)|Generation 1 Ratchet]]:
**In 2008, the original Generation 1 Ratchet mold got an [[e-Hobby]] exclusive green redeco in Japan as "Ratchet Emergency Green" in obvious reference to his movie counterpart.
**The red and white "Rescue Ratchet" redecos of movie Ratchet's toys are based on [[Ratchet (G1)|Generation 1 Ratchet]]'s original toy.
**''Animated'' Ratchet, his original design already referencing both predecessors with Generation 1 Ratchet's chevron and coloring and movie Ratchet's squiggly EEG symbol, had a further homage to the latter with a yellow redeco as (another) "Rescue Ratchet".

*Included with the downloadable content for the Revenge of the Fallen game on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 is a red and white color skin for Ratchet. Clearly, he needs to pick a color palette and commit!

*In the film, a part of Ratchet's transformation involves his entire upper body rotating around. The main Voyager class toy does not do this, but [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]'s does.

*Contrary to what is implied or outright stated by everything from the Rescue Ratchet deco to the words of the moviemakers themselves, Ratchet is ''not,'' in fact, an ambulance.

Ravage (ROTF)

{{disambig3|Ravage}}
:''Ravage 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:ROTF_Ravage_promo.jpg|thumb|400px|Twisted tales of Felix the death-dealing moggy.]]

'''Ravage''' specializes in infiltration. A frequent partner of [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], he does the dirty work of the larger Decepticon. Ravage's body and armament are all dedicated to hitting the enemy before they even know what hit them. He can be orbitally inserted at fifteen times the speed of sound, spy inside highly secure locations using swarms of [[Microcon (ROTF)|microcons]], and generally ruin your day. He respects the danger [[human]]s present though, as they were the ones who managed to kill [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]].

Some doubt Ravage's sentience, and there is debate on the degree to which he is a distinct entity, rather than an extension of Soundwave's will.<ref>[[Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe]]</ref> However, he's displayed guile, cunning, and split-second tactical thinking, making it hard for others to believe he does not have some innate intelligence. <ref>[[Transformers Comic issue 2.4|Titan Ravage Profile]]</ref> In reality, Ravage just considers the other Decepticons ''beneath'' him, and allows his eerie, silent ways and manner to alienate him from his comrades. Soundwave is the one exception: the two are kindred spirits, understanding each other's true nature and motives. <ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro Battle Bios]</ref>

==Fiction==
===''The Veiled Threat'' prequel novel===
After the [[crab spy]] successfully infiltrated [[NEST]] headquarters at [[Diego Garcia]], it made its way back to the sea where Ravage was waiting to pick it up. {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}

===Titan Magazines ROTF comic===

[[Image:Titan4_Ravagedescends.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Ceiling cat is watching you masturbate.]]

Ravage was dispatched to NEST's [[United Kingdom|Scotland]] base to find, interrogate, and kill [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] before they could pass on information about the Decepticon plans. Easily breaking into one of the most secure bases on Earth, he went on to swiftly knock out [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]] and attempt to rip into the twins. While they were able to evade him, Ravage shrugged off any attack and finally cornered Mudflap, broadcasting Soundwave's demands to him.

This, however, was a trap the twins had set up, and Ravage found himself trapped in a simulated combat exercise. To escape, he faked unconsciousness and then snuck out the back when nobody was looking. But he made sure to bug the base before he left... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}}

[[Image:Titan2-4 SkidsRavage.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Said the Cat, I know a fun game I will win. I think it is called Dismember the Twin!]]

When the twins temporarily pretended to defect, poor Ravage had to listen to them nattering throughout briefings. Not even his ominous growl would silence them! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' film===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Frank Welker]]
[[Image:Ravagerotfteaser.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Meowth! That's right!]]
From his vantage point high in orbit above Earth, Ravage's master [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] located the last remaining shard of the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]] in a [[NEST]] holding facility on [[Diego Garcia]], and dispatched Ravage to retrieve it. Launched from Soundwave's chest, Ravage plummeted through Earth's atmosphere in re-entry mode and impacted just off Diego Garcia's shore, bounding to land in the blink of an eye. Quickly and stealthily, the feline Decepticon knocked several of the base's security sensors offline to cover his approach, then proceeded to vomit a large quantity of [[Microcon (ROTF)|small, metallic spheres]] down a ventilation shaft. Once inside the base, the spheres transformed and combined into "[[Reedman]]", who successfully stole the shard and returned to the surface to reunite with Ravage. As the human soldiers attempted stop Reedman, Ravage provided cover fire, killing several humans in the process. The pair then made their escape.

[[Image:ROTF-Ravagefires.jpg|left|250px|thumb|He arms himself in case a Monday comes along.]]

Having secured the shard, Ravage traveled to the ''[[Bayos]]'', a human freighter carrying the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] which was passing the area of the sea in which [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] was buried. After diving over the side of the barge and reaching the bottom where Megatron's body rested, Ravage ejected [[Scalpel|the Doctor]] from a compartment in his chest. While the Constructicons began to tear apart the "[[Ze little one|little one]]", Ravage was going for a swim, apparently enjoying the water, but quickly ended his little frolic when the Doctor demanded the shard. After the Doctor resurrected Megatron using the AllSpark shard, Ravage and the Constructicons swam up to the surface following their revived leader.

[[Image:ROTF Ravage death.JPG|thumb|right|250px|Remember to spay and neuter your pets. ''Or Bumblebee will kill them''.]]
Some time later, Ravage joined the other Decepticons in searching for [[Sam Witwicky]] and the [[Matrix of Leadership]] amid some [[Egypt]]ian ruins. The forces of NEST soon arrived, and [[Operation: Firestorm|battle]] broke out, complicating their search. Spotting Sam, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] instructed [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] to release [[Ron Witwicky|Ron]] and [[Judy Witwicky]]. Ravage jumped out of the Constructicon when he ejected the fleshlings, and went stalking. [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] managed to get the jump on Rampage, and Ravage in turn jumped on Bumblebee's head, clawing off part of his battle helmet. Unfortunately for Ravage, Bumblebee still had plenty of fight left in him, and he promptly dispatched the killer kitty by ''tearing out'' Ravage's own goo-covered spine. ''Ouch''. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}
{{-}}

===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Months after Ravage's death at the hands of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], his reconstructed form was brought back on-line in an undisclosed location by a mysterious new master. Subsequently, Ravage appeared outside [[Guantanamo Bay]], searching for a "new target". Ravage snuck in, found the remains of the [[appliancebot]]s and appropriated them. Ravage lept into the ocean to escape the military, who had located him.

Ravage emerged on a beach near [[MacDill Air Force Base]]. Though he curled up on the ground to wait for further instructions from his unknown benefactor, he was once again discovered. Ravage destroyed several helicopters before being surrounded by soldiers and jeeps. To bolster his defensive, he unleashed [[Reedman]], and although the smaller robot was eventually taken down, it provided the distraction needed to allow Ravage to escape into a [[Kingdom Petrochemicals|petrochemical plant]].

Deciding the relatively subtle approach wasn't working, officials at the White House asked the [[President of the United States]] for permission to level the plant. As the explosion engulfed the plant, Ravage tried to conceal himself beneath its foundation. Ravage's attempt to survive was mostly successful; his damaged form was still online, waiting in a pit beneath the rubble for new instructions. The remnants of the smuggled appliancebots reached out to him with streams of energy... {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 5}}

Shortly after, Soundwave, disturbed by Ravage's reactivation, dispatched a quartet of minions (Buzzsaw, Rumble, Beastbox and Ratbat) to investigate. This soon erupted into a conflict with cleanup crews and Autobot reinforcements, which prompted Soundwave to intervene. Although the battle resulted in several casualities on both sides, Ravage was undisturbed. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 1}}

:Soundwave comes with an intricately sculpted missile that appears to represent Ravage in transition form. He can't transform, though. Bummer.

*'''Ravage''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number''

:Part of the third wave of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class toys, Ravage transforms from "panther mode" into a [[transition form|"reentry mode."]] (The "reentry mode" is exactly as involved as it looks.) By pulling back on a lever located on the small of his back, Ravage's head will snap forward and his jaws will open; sliding the lever back and forth will reverse and reactivate the gimmick. His tail actually comes off...that means his toy meets the same fate.

: A three pack (technically four pack if you want to count Ravage), also featuring The Fallen, and a silver Voyager Class Megatron from the first movie toyline. Soundwave is [[redeco]]ed in predominantly blue as an homage to the [[Soundwave (G1)|original Soundwave]]. The Fallen was unchanged from his original release.

: Part of the [[NEST Global Alliance]] campaign, a two-pack of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Battlefield Bumblebee]] and Infiltration Soundwave included yet another [[redeco]] of that damn Ravage missile. But if you buy this and two other specially-marked NEST Global Alliance toys, you can send in for a proper Ravage!

All you need is the order form and "starter sticker" from the NEST Alliance two-pack, stickers from two additional specially-marked NEST Global Alliance products, $4.95 for shipping and handling, and 6-8 weeks. His deco includes vacuum-metalized plastic and seems to be an homage to Voltron's Black Lion. The [[ball joint]] joining his torso to his hind legs from the original version has been replaced with a [[swivel joint]], and his tail is [[retool]]ed as well to remove the rotational articulation just above the middle hinge.

:Ravage is mailed in a white box with the NEST logo on it. Also, it comes with a letter from Optimus Prime and a $5 off coupon for ROTF toy purchases over $20.

:Ravage is revealed from his <s>hand grenade</s> <s>kitty toy</s> pod (presumably representing his reentry mode) with a flick of the wrist. Or by manually holding the two halves of the pod apart so that Ravage pops out. Oddly there are what appear to be four holes on either side of the pod, perhaps so Ravage has air holes to breathe through.

{{-}}

==Notes==

* Ravage and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] were part of an early draft for [[Transformers (2007)|''Transformers'']]. However, when Soundwave was changed to [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and the initial jungle setting was replaced with a desert, Ravage was changed to [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]].
* As with poor [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], sources differed on how sentient Ravage was. Luckily for Ravage, Hasbro's website outright states him to be a sentient being.
*Whether through misinformation or to hide his identity, the Ravage deluxe figure shows up in the Wal-Mart computers as "TRA DLX WOLF". Of course, they're [[Andy Reid|not the first to make this mistake]]. However when it scans at a register, it commonly comes up as "TRA MOV PANTHER".
*In the ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' novelization, Ravage has a flying [[alternate mode]]. He flew out to the freighter where the four Constructicons were waiting and transformed on deck. While descending into the ocean, he was described as a sphere, so he might have two alternate modes. (His Burger King toy perhaps?)
* Despite having a red/orange eye in the movie, all the Ravage toys and merchandise have a purple one... until his Legends figure.
* On his blog, Furman said that Ravage's spine-torn death was a late addition to the film... so late that [[IDW Publishing]] had already made Ravage a key part of their post-ROTF comics! Quick, to the Rewritemobile! [http://simonfurman.wordpress.com/2009/07/25/next-up-%e2%80%94-transformers-nefarious/]
* Originally, Ravage was intended to also have an aquatic alternate mode, where he swam to Diego Garcia as a spike covered fish.<ref>[[Revenge of the Fallen DVD field guide#Two-disc Special Edition - (approximately $22.00)|Deconstructing Visual Bayhem]] on the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' special two-disc release.</ref> The reason for dropping this was not stated.
*Ravage was in an early draft of [[Reign of Starscream]], but was dropped at Hasbro's request.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/members/mowry-73165.html#vmessage167559]</ref>

{{picsneeded|various stuff}}
'''[[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 are 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.

*'''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]]).

*'''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]].

*'''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.

*'''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.

{{-}}
*'''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 [[Kitbashing|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.

*'''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.

: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.

====Cyber Stompin' robots====
[[Image:Bumblebeemoviecyberstompin.jpg|right|150px|thumb|These boots were made for—you know the rest.]]
*'''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====
[[Image:Movie RobotReplica Bumblebee.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Heli-pack not included]]
*'''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.

{{-}}

====Micro IR Transformers Cars====
[[Image:Movie Bumblebee MircroIR.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Drives and shoots!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (2007)

: 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.

====Legends Class toys====

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-03'''

:''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class Bumblebee is based upon the updated Camaro Concept featured in the movie (unlike the 2007 Legends class Bumblebee which was based on the 1976 Camaro). Compared to the previous Movie Legends, he has better, more accurate detailing and proportions (or as accurate as can be obtained at this [[pricepoint]]).

*'''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...

{{-}}{{anchor|Cannon}}
[[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 detatched 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).

He was only available in a two-pack with a redecoed [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]. Also included in the packaging is a "Mission Guide" catalog and ordering form for the mail-in exclusive [[Ravage (ROTF)|Recon Ravage]], a "starter sticker" for said ordering form, and a [[NEST Global Alliance]] iron-on patch.

====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 and 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.

: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 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====

: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|]]
*'''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.

Unfortunately, due it's transformation, the tip of the cannon is yellow. The left arm-guard has a flip-out axe made of blue plastic, and probably represents the electrical [[stinger]] that was once considered as a weapon for the character, but it could also be the mace weapon Bumblebee uses in the console games.

===='''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).

=====Battle Series 2=====
*'''Nightwatch Bumblebee VS Patrol Barricade''' (2010)
**''Number:'' '''02 of 06'''

: For the second series of two-packs, the Speed Series Bumblebee mold was redecoed in the common "inverted" color scheme of yellow on black.

{{-}}
=====Radio Control=====
[[Image:ROTF-toy_RC_Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (2009)

: Radio Control Bumblebee is, as you might have guessed, an remote-control car (depicting his Concept Camaro form).

Batteries (of Hasbro's own [[Powrfuel]] brand) were included for the controller, but not for the car.

{{-}}
=====Lights and Sounds=====
*'''Bumblebee''' (2010)

: "Lights and Sounds" Bumblebee is a cutesified car with flashing headlights and playing sounds, and like the Mini-Vehicles, features a sculpted robot mode on its underside.

====Robo-Q Transformers====
*'''Bumblebee''' (2009)

*'''Change-Up Bumblebee''' (2009)
: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. The projectile has a sticker showing his robot mode on it. Flicking a switch on Bumblebee's underside will silence the sound chip, so the button will only launch the projectile.

==Trivia==
[[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 "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.

====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.

: 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]].

*'''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)

*'''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]]).

*'''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]].

*'''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.

*'''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.

{{-}}
*'''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 [[Kitbashing|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.

*'''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.

: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.

====Cyber Stompin' robots====
[[Image:Bumblebeemoviecyberstompin.jpg|right|150px|thumb|These boots were made for—you know the rest.]]
*'''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====
[[Image:Movie RobotReplica Bumblebee.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Heli-pack not included]]
*'''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.

{{-}}

====Micro IR Transformers Cars====
[[Image:Movie Bumblebee MircroIR.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Drives and shoots!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (2007)

: 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.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-03'''

:''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class Bumblebee is based upon the updated Camaro Concept featured in the movie (unlike the 2007 Legends class Bumblebee which was based on the 1976 Camaro). Compared to the previous Movie Legends, he has better, more accurate detailing and proportions (or as accurate as can be obtained at this [[pricepoint]]).

*'''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 detatched 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 and 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.

: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 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|]]
*'''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.

:This almost entirely new Bumblebee features a flip-down battle mask, highly movie-accurate arm-guards, and a right hand that can be switched out for his cannon. Unfortunately, due it's transformation, the tip of the cannon is yellow. The left arm-guard has a flip-out axe made of blue plastic, and probably represents the electrical [[stinger]] that was once considered as a weapon for the character, but it could also be the mace weapon Bumblebee uses in the console games. The axe is spring-loaded, activated by a button on his arm-guard.

===='''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).

[[Image:ROTF-toy_RC_Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]

: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. The projectile has a sticker showing his robot mode on it. Flicking a switch on Bumblebee's underside will silence the sound chip, so the button will only launch the projectile.

==Trivia==
[[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 "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.

{{factions|autobotfilm|NEST}}
{{disambig3|Ironhide}}
:''Ironhide is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]], also sometimes known as the "[[Tooth Fairy]]".''

[[Image:Movie Ironhide promorender2.jpg|right|325px|thumb|A different kind of tooth fairy. He knocks them out for the one in the frilly dress to collect.]]
'''Ironhide''' is the Autobots' resident weapons specialist and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s old friend. He is old because he is ''hard''. He's probably had enough replacement parts to build a small army, but Ironhide doggedly refuses to roll over and die for anyone. He'll fight to the bitter end and take down more than his fair share of [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] in the process.

Ironhide doesn't always see optic to optic with Prime, despite their friendship. He's perhaps the more practical of the two, and more than a little trigger happy, so he can be more willing to push the Autobot code to the limit if he thinks it will get the job done faster.

He has more guns than [[Carbombya|a smaller third-world country]], and he may or may not have blown up a [[Kaiba-5|planet]] with said guns.

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance1_Ironhide_Starscream.jpg|thumb|left|300px|]]

Millions of years ago, Ironhide was a captain in the Cybertronian defense force. He and commander [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] were to report to Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], but Starscream was late due to an encounter with hostile aliens in the [[Eshems Nebula]] and Ironhide almost took off without him. Later, during an attack by the same aliens, Ironhide commanded the ground defense units in the city of [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]], near the [[Simfur]] temple. When [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] were pinned down inside the temple, they considered contacting Ironhide for suggestions on what to do. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1}}

After the aliens were driven out and Megatron assumed his dictatorship of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Ironhide found himself belonging to an increasingly violent and unstable military. He was present when Megatron ordered Starscream to conduct some clandestine operation of which Ironhide did not take part in. The disenchanted Ironhide turned his back on the military after Megatron's declared Optimus's followers to be traitors, and that the army now flew under the banner of the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3}}

[[Image:Defiance4_Ironhide_madeforwar.jpg|thumb|300px|Ironhide '''''REALLY''''' wants to join the Autobots.]]

Disillusioned with what the military had become, Ironhide wandered far from [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] to search for answers, and so preoccupied was his thoughts that he was captured by forces loyal to Optimus Prime. Brought before the rebel leader, Ironhide pledged his alliegence to Optimus' Autobots, stating that he had no desire to destroy the innocent, and he knew the Autobots to be innocent of what Megatron charged them with, and besides, they needed somebody with his experience as a soldier. When the Autobots discovered that Megatron was building [[Nemesis (ROTF)|a massive warship]], they thought it would be best to build one of their own, though they lacked the means to do so. Ironhide, however, knew of [[Ark (Movie)|a fix-er-upper]] that they could repair in secret.{{Storylink|Defiance issue 4}}

As more gathered to Optimus Prime's cause, a young Autobot named [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]] came to train under Ironhide. After Ironhide showed him the ropes, he went on to be assigned to a settlement of displaced Autobots. That assignment went disastrously, as [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] massacred the entire settlement, leaving Ironhide's student for dead. Sideswipe returned to the same unit as his former mentor embittered, suffering from survivor's guilt. Noting the new recklessness and ruthlessness that Sideswipe displayed, Ironhide attempted to reach out to his old student. Angrily, Sideswipe declared that he had grown beyond Ironhide's tutelage. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2}}

Sometime later, Optimus Prime knew the war would tear the planet apart unless the reason for fighting was removed from the planet. He revealed to his soldiers the plan to capture the All Spark and take it with them in their ship, the ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]'', but what he didn't reveal to all but a select few was that they were really going to blast the All Spark into deep space to both distract the Decepticons and to buy them valuable time. Ironhide was one of those who followed Prime on the ''Ark'' to chase after the All Spark, which, unbeknownst to the Autobots, had locked onto the position of a [[Solar Harvester|solar harvester]] in a distant star system. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4}}

That mega-bazooka of his has been with him since he was a proto-chip. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

During the war, Ironhide ran training missions for the younger Autobot recruits. These missions would often have the recruits thrown into the sharp end: one, involving [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]], [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm]] and [[Skyblast (Movie)|Skyblast]], abruptly turned into a raid on a Decepticon base and rescuing [[Longview (Movie)|a prisoner]]. He also developed skills at resisting psychic interrogation techniques. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5|Lost In Space 3: Ironhide}}

He would later be one of three Autobots who tried to prevent [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] from reaching the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]]. They hadn't, however, expected for [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] to be demented enough to set off a [[foldspace warhead]] at pointblank range - a weapon that warped everyone to different parts of the galaxy. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|Prelude: Megatron}}

After spending some time planet-hopping, Ironhide detected [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s homing signal and headed for it. En route, he was captured by an alien spacecraft, one that appeared to belong to immense entities that created the All Spark and wanted it back. Ironhide, shrugging off a psychic probe, worked out these entities were an illusion - the ship was a derelict that had been salvaged by a group of aquatic aliens who wanted to find & exploit the All Spark. Ironhide removed their ability to do so by taking the derelict's device that tracked down All Spark energy. While he then went on his way, he was left wondering what race had originally owned this vessel and what their connection to the All Spark was... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5|Lost In Space 3: Ironhide}}

After meeting up with Ratchet, the two began searching for Jazz. They found he was the prisoner of a living, predatory planet; Ironhide reasoned with the planet to let their friend go (i.e. shot it repeatedly with his slag-off great cannon) and they took him back to Cybertron with them. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 6|Lost In Space Part 4: Jazz}}

{{Note|The following event appears to be unique to the Titan continuity.}}

Following the [[Mission City]] battle, he got into ''another'' battle with [[zombie]] Decepticons. Already injured and exhausted from the last fight, he almost fell before Ratchet found a solution. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 7|Starscream's Militia}}

[[Image:Movie TitanTransformers8 ScorpieIronhide1.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Ratchet was right. That tingles!]]
After that, he worked with a [[United States Marine Corps]] team to track down [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]. The Decepticon led them into a trap and took control of Ironhide's motor functions, causing him to attack the humans. They attempted to fight back - oh, you know those sabot rounds that are suppose to harm Transformers? They had no effect. Luckily, one of the soldiers was able to sever Scorponok's connection before he killed them all, and Ironhide killed the Decepticon the old-fashioned way: ''brutally''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 8|Scorpion Sting}}

{{notetitantlg}}

In a reality where the Decepticons won, Ironhide was part of the Autobot resistance on [[Earth]] and was in contact with reinforcements from Cybertron. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} He and Ratchet were in a mission in Savannah, Georgia, the site of the Decepticon's [[cyberforming]] process. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} Using [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] disguises, they sneaked in and Ironhide worked out how to destroy the facility and save the planet, only to find [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] let them in to kill them! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} Ironhide got the slag kicked out of him until Ratchet saved him, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} but he made up for it in keeping the Decepticons distracted while Ratchet finally took out the All Spark. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

He was stationed near a refugee shelter in Savannah following the liberation of America. When Decepticons attacked the shelter, a position with no strategic value, Ironhide suspected it was a trap—which it was, an attempt to keep the Autobots in a position where a manipulated [[NATO]] could kill them all. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} Ironhide showed annoyance that the humans couldn't see the Autobots were just trying to help, and he replied with a curt "fine" when he was ordered not to return fire on any human tanks. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}

Alongside [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]], he protected San Diego from a Decepticon raid, talking the younger Autobot through how to best drive off the attackers. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

[[Image:StockadeVsIronhide.jpg|right|300px|thumb|...Well, ''that's'' never happened before.]]

When Optimus wanted [[Nucleon]] to be secretly brought from the long-dead Cybertron to Earth, Ironhide was the one chosen to lead the mission (Bumblebee, Arcee and Armorhide with him). Ironhide warned his team to be on their guard, trust nothing, and that they'd die if they got misty-eyed about being home. Soon after landing, they ran into [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade's]] Decepticons, and Ironhide was challenged to hand-to-hand combat to resolve the situation. The look on Ironhide's face as Stockade shrugged off his strongest blow was a joy to behold (but not for Ironhide cos he got battered). {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 17|Return to Cybertron: Part 1}} Ironhide absolutely refused to back down or surrender, leading to Stockade beating him up a few more times. When it became clear the Decepticons were going to use all the Nucleon to summon an alien entity into Cybertron's core, Ironhide decided to provide the "distraction" so the other Autobots could stop the plan: that distraction being to run over [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] and smash into things, which ended when Stockade smashed him up one last time. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron: Part 2}}

When [[Unicron]] entered Cybertron's core and began reshaping the planet, Ironhide ordered Bumblebee to flee from falling rubble and not wait for him... and got squished. The other Autobots pulled him out, and he decided the only logical response to Unicron's invasion was to ''blow up the planet''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} Luckily, a newly arrived Optimus had a better plan: Cut off the Nucleon that Unicron was using to power his physical form. Ironhide was part of this mission and led the defensive action against Unicron's internal defender drones, but lost his mega-bazooka in the process. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

Upon returning to Earth and being fired on by Decepticons (who had seized Autobase and the six hundred square miles around it), he said he's the last guy to run from a firefight but they should... run from a firefight. He was both respectful of the fact the Autobots had not been around to stop the Decepticons and recognised the President was a blatant Decepticon slave. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Hard Target}}

He was part of the raid to get [[Mikaela Banes]] back from the Decepticons, noting the Decepticons were letting them enter Savannah. His big contribution to the mission was to get thwacked by [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

Optimus and Ironhide both realised Allen would be used against them, and so two weeks before he ''was'', Ironhide covertly contatced [[Tom Banachek]] and set him up to identify ''every'' Decepticon cerebro-strip puppet in the US government. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part 3}} When it became clear Allen was going to order the Autobots off American soil, Ironhide headed off to do something ''mysteeeeerious'' with Bumblebee, which turned out to be setting things up so they could fake their own deaths. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}} This gave the Autobots the freedom to rig up the means to forcibly exile the Decepticons on Cybertron, and once Banachek was done the Autobots returned to hit the [[Decepticon Heartland]].

Ironhide was in the spearhead, acting as Prime's second-in-command and having his dialogue stolen by [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm]]. He forcibly teleported Starscream to Cybertron, helping finally win a lasting peace for Earth. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part 3}}

[[Image:Movie Ironhide introduction.jpg|left|220px|thumb|Clint Eastbot in The Good, The Bad and The Metallic.]]

Responding to [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s call for assistance, Ironhide and the other Autobots under Optimus Prime's direct command came to [[Earth]], with the old soldier landing in a suburban pool. As he climbed out of the water, a little human girl asked him if he was (of all things) the tooth fairy before he quickly hid behind some trees when the child's parents exited the house. He scanned their GMC Topkick truck and transformed, leaving the residence. He linked up with [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], and they proceeded to the rendezvous point, where they met up with Optimus and Bumblebee. After meeting [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Mikaela Banes]], Ironhide displayed an eagerness to show off his [[Weapon|cannons]], and made a classic [[wikipedia:Clint_Eastwood|Clint Eastwood]] impression to show it by saying "You feeling lucky, punk?"(which earned him an instant reproof from Optimus).

[[Image:Movie Ironhide threatens Mojo.JPG|right|250px|thumb|Don't shoot! I swear I don't feel lucky!]]

Going to the Witwicky residence, Ironhide had lubricant released upon him by [[Mojo|a rodent]]. This unpleasant situation was made worse by [[Sam Witwicky]]'s frantic refusal to let him shoot it. Ironhide relented, despite the fact that it would cause rust. He also suggested shooting [[Ron Witwicky|the]] [[Judy Witwicky|parents]], as they were interfering with Sam's search for [[Archibald Witwicky|Captain Witwicky]]'s [[glasses]]. Optimus reminded him that they don't hurt humans and scolded his weapons expert, to which Ironhide meekly responded that he merely thought it should remain an option.

After Sam, Mikaela and his parents were captured by [[Sector Seven]], Ironhide got a ''real'' good chance to show off his cannons when he and the other Autobots totally outclassed the S7 agents by instantly disarming them of their weapons, then rescuing the boy and his girl. Unfortunately, their escape was to be short-lived, as [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] was captured by the mysterious agents after saving Sam and Mikaela's lives. The next morning, when Optimus Prime was pondering their next move, Ironhide asked why they had to save the humans, prompting Prime to go into one of his long speeches about freedom and sacrifice, concluding that the humans need not pay for the mistakes of Cybertron-kind, and if need be, he would destroy the All Spark by fusing it with his own spark. Inspired by his words, Ironhide debated no further, and the Autobots set out for the location of the All Spark, [[Hoover Dam]]. Halfway there, to their surprise, they saw Bumblebee leading a column of Sector Seven assault vehicles, so Ironhide and the rest of the Autobots joined the unit.

[[Image:Movie Ironhide shootground.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Ironhide is a real showoff.]]

During the final battle at [[Mission City]], Ironhide realized that the F-22 Raptor that appeared to be providing [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox's]] troops with air cover was in fact his former comrade [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Ordering the others to take cover, Ironhide and Bumblebee lifted a discarded truck full of ''Furby'' toys to protect the humans against Starscream's strafing run. It worked, but the explosion threw Ironhide back and crippled Bumblebee. Soon afterwards, [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] attacked, forcing Ironhide to do several somersaults to avoid the Decepticon's missiles, thus totally scaring the crap out of a lady sitting in the middle of the street.

Ironhide and Ratchet took it upon themselves to protect Sam from [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] as he made his way to a rooftop where he could pass the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]] to a military helicopter. Unfortunately, Starscream blocked off Sam's path, prompting the Autobot guardians to engage the more powerful Decepticon immediately. After taking several missiles in the gut, Ironhide implored Sam to keep running.

After the destruction of Megatron and the All Spark, Ironhide somberly cradled the body of the fallen Jazz while Ratchet informed Optimus Prime that there was nothing they could do. Ironhide then gave Captain Lennox a ride home and spent the remainder of the day observing Sam and Mikaela making out on the hood of Bumblebee's vehicle mode. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

===Transformers (2007) toy bios===
Even before the war began, Ironhide loved weapons. Nothing made him happier than travelling to some remote asteroid field where he could let loose and blast rocks to his spark's content. These days, Ironhide's targets are all mobile, and the length of the war has started to take the fun out of heavy weaponry for him. {{storylink|#Titanium Series|Titanium Series}} Nonetheless, he found time between fights to train Arcee in combat. {{storylink|Arcee (Movie)#Scout Class toys|Target Arcee bio}}

Just before coming to Earth, Jazz was badly hurt in a battle with Brawl. As part of his recovery, Ironhide helped upgrade Jazz's endoskeleton reinforcements. {{storylink|Jazz (Movie)#Premium|Premium Jazz bio}}

When Ironhide got himself a new pulse cannon, and couldn't wait to test it out on the Decepticons. {{storylink|#Fast Action Battlers|Pulse Cannon Ironhide}} At some point, he had a knock-down, drag-out fight with Blackout, possibly in a desert. {{storylink|#Legends Class toys|Ironhide Vs Desert Blackout}}

With the war over, and infused with the power of the All Spark, Ironhide felt like a young 'bot again and decided to spend his new spare time by exploring Earth. Together with his new human friends, he’s having the time of his life conquering the most challenging trails on the planet, from Death Valley to the darkest Amazon basin! {{storylink|#Voyager Class toys|Offroad Ironhide}} He does this with William Lennox, who he stays with; when the soldier's away, Ironhide watches his family for him. And he also gets to play with [[Sector Seven]] experimental weaponry! Yay peace! {{storylink|#Voyager Class toys|Premium Ironhide}}

During this relatively quiet period, Ironhide also began mentoring [[Landmine (Movie)|Landmine]] in the ways of battle. {{storylink|Landmine (Movie)|Landmine bio}}

===Beast Wars Diorama Story===

At some point, Ironhide and multiple Autobots and Decepticons traversed dimensions and found themselves on a different [[Earth]], in the distant past. They crossed paths with new Transformer factions, the [[Maximal]]s and the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s, who were engaged in a conflict called the [[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]. A battle broke out between the four factions. The Autobots and the Decepticons eventually returned to their home dimension, leaving the Maximals and Predacons behind to settle the Beast Wars. {{storylink|Beast Wars Diorama Story}}

As the Autobots and their human allies made their way to Mission City, Ironhide rammed [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] into a support pylon on the freeway, putting the Decepticon out of commission. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number One}}

In the immediate aftermath of the battle in Mission City, Ironhide accompanied Captain Lennox and his soldiers, hunting for [[Allspark mutation|creatures created by the All Spark energies]]. They had already destroyed three of the creatures when [[Xbox 360 robot|another one]] fled into a red minivan, which Lennox's men peppered with small arms fire. Ironhide decided to show them what ''real'' firepower was and blew up the van with one shot. As the Autobots prepared to move out and flee the approaching Sector Seven and government forces, Ironhide placed Jazz's remains into a trailer [[Robert Epps|Sergeant Epps]] had found, and together the soldiers had a moment of silence for their fallen comrade. A month later, after he was approached by [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]], Lennox requested the Autobots help escort the human convoy transporting the remains of the fallen Decepticons. However, the Autobots had been shadowed on their way to the meeting place by a police car, whom both Lennox and Ironhide guessed was Barricade. {{storylink|Alliance issue 1}}

[[Image:Alliance1 Ironhide-Jazz momentofsilence.jpg|right|250px|thumb|At least [[Human|they're]] more emotional about this than Prime, and ''they never knew him''.]]

Ironhide and the other Autobots arrived at Sector Seven's secret [[Nevada]] desert installation to participate in the convoy that would transport the Decepticon bodies to San Francisco. He disagreed with Optimus Prime's decision to leave the All Spark fragment in the custody of Sector Seven while they were away, but nevertheless respected his commander's decision. On the freeway, Optimus Prime had a change of heart and sent Ironhide and Bumblebee back to retrieve the All Spark fragment. Unfortunately, Ironhide, being the slower of the two Autobots, didn't reach the base until after [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] and Starscream had caused significant death and destruction. During the cleanup, he could be seen comforting the injured Bumblebee. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2}}

[[Image:Alliance3_Ironhide_Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|250px|]]

Amidst the scene of devastation at Sector Seven's Nevada base, Ironhide praised Bumblebee for his courage in attempting to defend the humans, but Bumblebee regretted that he could not save them all. After Jazz's burial two weeks later, Optimus Prime accepted a proposal from Captain Lennox that the humans and the Autobots form [[NEST|a special unit]] tasked with defending their mutual home. The Autobots began training with their human allies on the island of [[Diego Garcia]], however, the lack of coordination meant even Bumblebee showed up the humans. Ironhide opined that Bumblebee's shot was "awesome". Regardless or some teething issues, the team rolled out when the Decepticon [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] was spotted in [[San Francisco]]. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3}}

On the plane trip to the city, Ironhide commented on the likelihood of Swindle and [[Dead End (Movie)|Dead End]] putting up a fight, and how he hated flying. On the safe, stable ground, Lennox gave orders, Ratchet and Epps were assigned to team two, who would set the trap. En-route to the Decepticons, Ratchet and Ironhide bantered about how the former's vehicle mode was more suited to [[N.E.S.T.]]'s cover story of a chemical spill, while the latter asserted that he was the more stylish of the pair. After the Decepticons were disposed of, Major Lennox and Optimus Prime decided to send Bumblebee back to the United States to once again assume the role of Sam's guardian. Ironhide reminded his little buddy to stay out of trouble, at least until the larger Autobot arrived to take over the protector role. Soon, more Decepticons were spotted on Earth, and Ironhide was deployed to [[Italy]] to deal with [[Fracture]]'s team. After [[Reverb (Movie)|Reverb]] and [[Gunbarrel (Movie)|Gunbarrel]] had been destroyed, NEST forces led Fracture to Ironhide, who rammed the [[Female Transformers|female Decepticon]] off the cliff road she was racing upon. Somewhere in the United States, Barricade managed to evade capture or destruction, forcing Ironhide to give Bumblebee warning. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4}}

Ironhide was reunited with Sideswipe at [[Diego Garcia]] after the younger bot had answered Optimus Prime's homing beacon and joined [[NEST]]. He found that Sideswipe had changed little, and if anything had become even more of a loose cannon in his pursuit of Demolishor. Unable to reach his former trainee with words, Ironhide was reduced to performing damage control in the skirmish at [[Montevideo]], [[Uruguay]]. However in the aftermath Sideswipe saw the destruction he had wrought and the fear it engendered in the humans, begrudgingly admitting that Ironhide had been right all along. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2}}

===''The Veiled Threat'' prequel novel===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Alliance (comic)|Alliance]]'' comic.}}

During a trip back to Diego Garcia, Ironhide's ship was stopped by Somali pirates. Although the crew could have taken them, they decided to let Ironhide handle it. Transforming into robot mode, Ironhide instructed the pirates to "walk the plank". Most of the pirates opted to instead jump off the ship at running speed.

Following reports that Starscream was operating in Zambia, Ironhide accompanied Optimus, Ratchet, [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]], and [[Beachbreak]] to Africa with Captain Lennox, Sergeant Epps, [[Petr Andronov]], and [[Kaminari Ishihara]]. They confronted [[Macerator]], [[Dropkick]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] on the Zambezi, where the Decepticons fought in the river, pulling the Autobots downstream. Optimus nearly fell over the falls, but was saved by Beackbreak, at the cost of his life. Ironhide got some payback at a dam down the river, which the Decepticons were trying to destroy. Macerator was killed and Payload swept away when they opened the flood gates rather than allow him to destroy the dam, but Ironhide was forced to let Dropkick escape since he was heading toward the humans.

Following this, two separate signals of Decepticon activity were detected, in Peru and the Australian outback. Ironhide accompanied Optimus, Salvage, Lennox, and Kaminara to Austrialia. As they reached the outback close to dark, they decided to begin searching in the day, with Lennox taking Ironhide's cab, a situation the old Autobot preferred, as he would have turned one of his lesser weapons on Kami's music devices (stop looking at him like that, he wouldn't have hurt her). The next day, Lennox realized that the Decepticons were interested in the two regions because of energy sources, uranium in Austraila's case, and Lennox theorized that it might the Decepticons might hope to use the energy to reactivate a depleted Spark. Considering the situation, Ironhide conceded that a spark could be restored via a focused energy blast, but doubted that human resources could do the trick, and the individual in question would be only partially revived at best. Two days later, the NEST team discovered the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]s [[Kickback (ROTF)|Kickback]], [[Tread]], and [[Trample]]. Ironhide wailed on Trample for a while before he grabbed Kami, but she used her weapon to disorient him and allow Ironhide to move in for the kill. {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}

===Titan Magazines ROTF comic===

[[Image:Ironhidetwins_KLUNNG.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The first caption on this page is now canon.]]

Ironhide was commanding officer at the [[NEST]] base at Edwards [[United States Air Force|Air Force]] Base, [[California]]. To his intense annoyance, [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] had turned up, claiming to have a message for Optimus Prime and ''only'' him. Since they'd cried wolf before and Optimus was busy on another mission, Ironhide refused. So the twins ''ambushed him with piles of crates'' so they could reach NEST's ops room and send in a call. Ironhide hurt them for this.

He grew more frustrated when, after NEST picked up a Decepticon signal heading for [[Las Vegas]] and Ironhide headed up a strike team, the twins pleaded to come along. He bluntly stated they couldn't be trusted ''not'' to screw up the way they were going, and if they wanted his trust they'd have to earn it.

Once in Las Vegas, Ironhide led his team to capture [[Grindor (ROTF)|the Decepticon Grindor]]. The target used his rotors to blast cars at everyone, knocking Ironhide over, though the human soldiers under [[Sergeant Dundee]] completed the mission. Then the twins turned up to earn his trust and show their skills! ...which caused Grindor to be accidentally freed. This time, seeming to notice his way of dealing with the twins wasn't helping matters, Ironhide calmly pointed out that they'd made a mistake, but so does everyone: the trick is to ''learn'' from them. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}}

He had them sent to be trained by [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]], but didn't act on their claims of important info {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}} as he still doesn't trust them. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Previously...}} Soon after that, they turned traitor ([[Soundwave (ROTF)|or so it seemed]]) and Ironhide worked with Optimus to capture them. When an anonymous tip-off came in that the twins were abducting [[Sam Witwicky]], Ironhide stated that the call seemed dodgy but they couldn't afford to not follow it up. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.6|Outlaw Blues}}

Later, after being alerted to the twins' position and while in a NEST carrier plane, Ironhide (with Sideswipe) watched the fugitives battle the very Decepticons they thought the twins had been aiding and abetting. With the plane unable to land, Ironhide continued to monitor the situation {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}} and would track the twins to the Decepticons' [[Mars|Phobos]] base. As a result, the Autobots cleared out a whole nest of [[Purple generic drones|drones]]. Finally realising that the twins ''had'' been innocent all along, Ironhide apologised to them and officially welcomed them into the Autobot's Earth division. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

{{Note|The following details Ironhide's tenure as letter-answerer on the Law and Disorder letters page.}}

====Law and Disorder====

[[Image:Lawanddisorder_logo.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]

[[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] was meant to be a solo letters page host, but Ironhide forcibly took co-ownership of the section. He spends his time undermining and dissing Barricade. Particularly, he used to seem focused on the fact Barricade was beaten by Bumblebee, viewing this as laughable and Bumblebee as a weak fighter (#2). ([[:Image:Bumblebeehandlesthis.jpg|Maybe he's trying to cover something...]]) He later began to admit Bumblebee is hardcore (#3, #7), and started switching tactics to taunting Barricade for his absence from the new video games (#4, #12) and the awesome popularity of [[Live-action film series|the Autobot propaganda films]]. (#5) He did try once to get on with Barricade but the Decepticon was having none of it. (#6)

While he's happy to dish it, he's not so happy when the Decepticon wins out. When a [[Female Transformer]] wrote in and engaged in heavy flirting with Barricade, Ironhide got grumpy and abruptly decided that was all the letters they had time for and ran reader's photos instead. (#5) At other times, he's tried to shame readers for being too pro-Decepticon (#7, #8) and dissed their creative work. (#11, #12) He's even menaced ''[[Simon Furman|Furman himself]]'' into writing more pro-Autobot scripts! (#12)

From #9, he started offering Barricade the opportunity to defect to the Autobots. And he ''will not stop''. He's even admitted that the Decepticon has grown on him and he's becoming fond of him, something Barricade considers an act of psychological warfare. (#11)

Barricade likes and admires ''your'' anal-retentive knowledge of Transformers trivia! (#1) Very soon after announcing this, he turned against it (fans must've kept emailing him). (#7) Despite this, he often encourages and defends the younger Autobot fans, encouraging young kids to dress as Transformers and send in pictures; he's also a supporter of [[unofficial conventions|fan conventions]]! (#7) We're not just his fans, we're his "biological insurgents"! (#9)

Ironhide is in talk with some producers about the third film being focused on ''him'', but is disgruntled that they're insisting on Bumblebee being in it as his sidekick. (#8)

He's a big fan of video games, especially the [[Revenge_of_the_Fallen_%28Xbox_360/PS3%29|Xbox 360 ROTF game]] (#4) and ''[[War for Cybertron]]'' (#12), and always loves playing against people in multiplayer! (#4)(#7) His other favourite things are [[Michael Bay]]'s explosive directing style (#5), and both heavy metal music and DJ Shadow. (#7) He also admires [[Air Raid (Movie)|Batman]] cos his car has ''lots'' of weapons (#2).

Details about his past have been revealed: When Ironhide was four years old, he lived in [[Tyger Pax]] and assembled his first high yield plasma accelerator. He was often told off for hanging around the primary heat exchangers downtown. (#7) He's encountered the [[Combaticon (ROTF)|Combaticons]] before, along with Optimus, and warns readers to be careful around them! (#3) He has some awareness of [[Unicron]] too, describing him as being "as mad as his mouth is big, so pretty mad". (#6) More surprisingly, he was once active in the ''1980s'', [[Starscream (Movie)#Star Screams|similar to Starscream]], when he took the form of a [[Ironhide (G1)/toys|red version of Ratchet]]. He fought Barricade during this time, and still has disgust for mullets. (#12)

[[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] annoys him. A ''lot''. (#9) Enough so that, upon hearing the punishment given to Decepticons who defect, he pleaded with Barricade to send someone to "collect" Wheelie... (#10)

Sometimes, he wistfully wonders what it must be like to have [[relatives|a son]]... (#10)

Ironhide acted as an Autobot support unit in [[Shanghai]] as [[NEST]] hunted for Decepticons. When [[William Lennox|Major Lennox]] told him that they had echoes of energy readings, Ironhide assumed robot mode and confirmed that their target was nearby, saying he could smell him. Unfortunately, the Decepticon in question turned out to be [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]]. Ironhide chased after the massive Decepticon as it roared through the streets before [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] was deployed from the air and attacked Demolishor, allowing Ironhide to jump on his structure and shoot out his massive wheel, sending him crashing into a warehouse. Ironhide stood with his commander as Optimus prepared to deliver the killing blow, listening to Demolishor's warning about [[The Fallen]]'s return before he died. Ironhide returned to base, resting in his alternate mode in his hangar while Optimus conferred with [[William Lennox]], General [[Morshower]] and [[Theodore Galloway]].

[[Image:ROTF Ironhide standoff.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"If you're gonna point a gun at someone, just keep it pointed away from him." ]]
Later, Ironhide accompanied the Autobots to rescue [[Sam Witwicky]] from [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], but was too late, for the revived Decepticon leader had killed Optimus in combat. When Ironhide returned to an American air base with Optimus' body, he was surrounded by military forces under Galloway, who had managed to secure NEST's deactivation following multiple Decepticon attacks around the planet. Furious that the humans dared to point a weapon at him, Ironhide almost lost his temper, but Lennox convinced him to not turn on the non-NEST soldiers. [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] recommended leaving [[Earth]], but Ironhide argued he believed Optimus would not want them to abandon the humans, apparently becoming leader of the Autobots in the process.

Ironhide was to retreat with the other Autobots to [[Diego Garcia]] until Lennox received a message from Witwicky and his friends to come to [[Egypt]], having figured out the Decepticons' scheme. Lennox managed to trick Galloway into jumping out of the plane carrying the soldiers and Prime's body, while the rest of the Autobots in the second plane quickly cut through the nets containing them. Ironhide then advised the crew to open the doors and let him out of the plane. NEST parachuted into a small village near the [[Pyramid]]s, but soon lost communication when Starscream released an EMP blast at them.

[[Image:ROTF Ironhide retreat.jpg|thumb|right|250px|If I'm running you know its bad!]]
During the [[Operation: Firestorm|defensive operations of NEST's position]], Lennox decided to send a team to locate Sam, and Ironhide and [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] immediately announced that they would lead the team. Transforming to vehicle mode, Ironhide rolled out with a number of soldiers and Arcee. After finding the humans, they were ambushed by [[Buffalo MPV Decepticon|several Decepticons]], with both Arcee and Ironhide hit numerous times while providing cover fire for their friends, and told Sam and Mikaela to run while they drew their fire. Ironhide survived, albeit heavily damaged, and had to run for his life (ejecting his weapons in the process) when a [[United States Air Force]] B-1B Lancer bomber arrived delivering 2000-pound JDAM bombs, obliterating the remaining the Decepticon troops in the area. Momentarily safe, Ironhide and the others witnessed Sam resurrect Optimus Prime with the [[Matrix of Leadership#Live-action film series|Matrix of Leadership]], and his leader's subsequent defeat of The Fallen. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

With Megatron dead, the Autobots are able to go on the offensive. Hunting down and killing Decepticons is the most fun Ironhide ever had! {{storylink|#Voyager Class toys 2|Ironhide 2009}} As part of this mission, he got spiffy new red armour, making him far tougher. {{storylink|#Fast Action Battlers 2|Cannon Force Ironhide}}

Somewhat disturbingly, Ironhide feels ''nothing'' matches the thrill of establishing a target lock, and the world slows down around him as he heads into battle. Part of him hopes he ''never'' runs out of Decepticons to kill... {{storylink|#Robot Replicas|Robot Replicas Ironhide}}

While reviewing some [[data tracks]] with [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], an explosion was detected outside of [[NEST]] HQ. Ironhide told Bumblebee to lock down the most important data tracks while he went to investigate the explosion. As it turned out, it was [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]], whom Ironhide had been hoping for a rematch. After a brief struggle, Bludgeon lured Ironhide into the jungle, and hit him with a tree. Bumblebee then contacted Ironhide (to inform him that Bludgeon was a feint to allow [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] to break into the base) but Ironhide told Bumblebee that this was between him and Bludgeon. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 1}} Optimus Prime, however, disagreed, and by morning, told Ironhide to not engage Bludgeon. The Decepticon made that difficult, but Ironhide eventually gained the upper hand, cornering him at a cliff. Deciding to extend the olive branch, Ironhide offered to ensure Bludgeon would receive amnesty if he joined the Autobots (and people say Ironhide is too aggressive). Bludgeon rejected the offer out of fear of Megatron's wrath and jumped off the cliff, escaping. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 2}}

Lost in the jungle, Ironhide stumbled onto a cave. There he was hypnotised by [[Mindwipe (ROTF)|Mindwipe]] and commanded to gather up the deposits of [[energon (fuel)|energon]] scattered around the cave floor. He remained that way until Optimus Prime was able to defeat Mindwipe, at which point he wondered what the heck had been going on. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 5}}

====Autobot campaign====
Ironhide arrived on Earth alongside the other Autobots upon Bumblebee's call. As [[Sector Seven]] forces closed in on them, Jazz was given the task of drawing the human authorities' attention away from the others. When Jazz soon found himself trapped by both human agents ''and'' Decepticons, Ironhide was sent to rescue him (without, Prime ordered him, another incident like that on [[Kaiba-5]]), a task that ended with his tangling with a [[Mixmaster (Movie)|Mixmaster]] unit in a construction lot.

A brief aside with Optimus Prime during the rescue revealed Ironhide's actions may have resulted in the destruction of [[Kaiba-5|a small planet]] at one point. Ironhide maintained that it was going to blow up ''anyway''.

In [[Mission City]], Ironhide once again was called to the rescue, as Bumblebee was trapped by a massive swarm of [[Energon drone|Energon drones]] activated by the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]]. Ironhide waded into the thick of them and destroyed every last one. Shortly afterwards, he responded to Jazz's S.O.S. call, but was too late; the warrior had been killed by [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]. Enraged, Ironhide engaged the tank, smashing through the backup drone-units before finally taking on Brawl himself. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game (console)}}

====Decepticon campaign====
As the Decepticons closed in on the All Spark within Mission City, [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] was tasked with bringing down the mighty Ironhide.

=====Autobot campaign=====
Ironhide was the Autobots' heavy weapons specialist, armed with dual pulse cannons firing shotgun-like energy bursts, and proximity grenade launchers. He could deploy missile turrets for added firepower.

Ironhide oversaw both [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and [[Breakaway (ROTF)|Breakaway]]'s training in Tranquility, near [[Cal|Mikaela's father's]] garage.

When [[Robert Epps|Sergeant Epps]] detected the presence of [[Stunticon (ROTF)|Stunticons]] in Shanghai, NEST deployed Ironhide to take them out. After fighting through numerous drones, their leader [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] appeared, leading the Ironhide in a pursuit through the winding back alleys of the city. Finally, the Decepticon was cornered on the roof of an apartment building, and with one mighty punch, Ironhide sent Sideways to the ground. Unfortunately, Ironhide was soon jumped by the [[Combaticon (ROTF)|Combaticons]] and [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]] at the nearby spiral freeway and had to wait for Ratchet to rescue him. After being repaired, Ironhide returned to the spiral freeway and paid back Long Haul for his earlier defeat.

[[Image:Movie Legends Ironhide DesertBlackout.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]
*'''Ironhide Vs. Desert Blackout''' (Legends "Allspark Battles" two-pack, 2008)

: An all-new Ironhide tooling that packs considerable accuracy into his small, simple design. Unlike the Voyager class toy, Legends Ironhide stores his cannons in the truck's bed. He comes with a desert scheme redeco of Legends class [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]].

: Amusingly, this version of Ironhide is the only American toy release that has full-length exhaust stacks. Also, there are many complaints about the fists sticking out of the back of the truck and the weird truck proportions.

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Voyager Ironhide toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|[[Guiltaur]] called, he wants his weapon back.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MA-09'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Ironhide transforms into a modified black 2006 [[wikipedia:GMC Topkick|GMC Topkick]] 4500 four-wheel drive pickup truck. Although Hasbro's official stock photos and early packaged [[Prototype|samples]] featured two real-life accurate full length exhaust smokestacks behind the rear cabin, they have been slightly shortened for [[For safety reasons|safety]] and durability reasons for the actual release of the toy. Otherwise, however, the vehicle mode is very accurate to the real prop truck... well, aside from the fact that Ironhide's massive missile launchers are quite visible underneath the vehicle. Despite rumors to the contrary, TakaraTomy's Japanese release of the toy features the same shortened smokestacks as the Hasbro version.

:Ironhide features an [[Automorph]] gimmick in his legs during transformation: As the user swings down his feet, all of the panels that make up his legs automatically shift and fold into place. This gimmick does not affect Ironhide's articulation. Confusingly, the instructions omit the exact positioning of the roof panels and rear window on his back, though they can fold into a compact design for maximum articulation.

:In robot mode,his arm-mounted cannons are inactive while mounted on both arms. However, detaching the left arm cannon and combining it with the right arm creates a '''huge''' functional missile launcher that is almost as big as Ironhide himself. The missile-launching mechanism itself isn't the typical spring-loaded button design, instead relying on a pressure-launch system to fire the missiles from the four barrels.

:The peg that holds his windshield is prone to cracking, which makes it become loose, and might even result in breakage.

:Released as part of the "Allspark Power" refresh of the Movie toyline, Offroad Ironhide is a fairly extensive redeco of Voyager class Ironhide in colors reminiscent of the ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[Motormouth]].

:Premium Ironhide is a redeco of the previous released Voyager class Ironhide, painted in a gloss black finish, silver trim on his smokestacks, Road Armor winch and side turn signal detailing, but with them are several inaccurate deco additions including silver detailing to the rims, frosted windows, silver paint on the roof ridges and a large Autobot sigil tampographed onto the hood.

:In robot mode Ironhide is considerably more accurate with gold and gunmetal detailing colors which were missing from the first Voyager release. His large cannons are now molded in mostly black plastic, then painted metallic teal with gold detailing.

:Part of the [[Fast Action Battlers]] line, "Cannon Blast" Ironhide is a simpler version of the larger toy, geared more towards the younger set who might find the big toy too complicated to transform. He still transforms into the customized GMC Topkick. He features a spring-loaded missile launcher in his left cannon. But, thanks to the simpler transformation, the hood and wheels trap his arms below the wheel. He can't punch or aim his cannon at all, and the elbows have no articulation but swiveling that knocks the arm off his body.

'Slam' his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along, slowly transforming back up into robot mode. Like most Cyber Slammers, Ironhide manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

*'''Ironhide''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher cannon, energy cannon, projectile

: ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager class Ironhide is a retool of the toy from the 2007 ''Transformers'' movie line. The original arm cannons have been replaced by new, more accurate (and less [[Gimmick|gimmicky]]) cannons that can be connected together and mounted on top of Ironhide's truck bed cover. The truck bed cover and arm mountings for this Ironhide's cannons are unchanged from the 2007 movie line voyagers. So any voyager Ironhide can carry and use both the original and new weapons. The large cannon features screwdriving firing action in which the barrel section twists forward before firing the missile. The small cannon can retract its barrel and has a 5mm hole on its underside that allows it to plug into the peg on the large cannon like a scope if so desired. Since the weapons can connect to each other, the figure (and all other uses of this mold) can hold these and the combined 2007 cannons at once. All four cannons can fit on his truck mode as well, the old ones underneath and the new ones on top. Ironhide's head has been replaced with a more accurate, asymmetrical head. Ironhide also features a new grey colour scheme with some red pin stripes and a [[NEST]] logo on each of his doors.

: According to the box pictures and instructions, the small cannon is misassembled. The gray sliding shaft is actually reversed from the direction it is supposed to be facing. This doesn't affect anything, but can be easily fixed by loosening the screws on the black outer section, sliding out the shaft, then turning it around and putting it back in.

: A packaging variant determines whether the missile is loaded or unloaded in the box.

:Recon Ironhide is an extensive retool, replacing his doors with military Humvee-style armoured door panels, adding a roof/truck bed-mounted lighting rig/weapons rack and replacing his Road Armor fender with a massive bullbar that can be removed and converted into a spring-loaded crossbow weapon. Ironhide's traditional arm-mounted weapons have been replaced with the aforementioned crossbow, a smaller version of his arm mounted cannon, an assault rifle, a minigun, and two combat knives. Either knife can be attached to the front of the rifle as a bayonet, and the rifle and mini gun can be clipped to the sides of his arm mounted weapons (the guns and knives can also be attached to the front of his arm cannon). The two rifles and knives can also be attached to his backpack rails in robot mode. Think he's armed enough yet? Additionally, this retool of Ironhide includes a new headsculpt featuring his battle mask.

:In an unfortunate change, all of Ironhide's (newly-tooled) windows are now cast in opaque plastic, compared to the translucent plastic seen on previous versions of this toy.

==Trivia==
* In the initial draft of the movie, Ironhide was not present among the Autobot cast. However, he replaced female Autobot [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] in later drafts and the subsequent final script.
* In the movie, Ironhide's guns ''alone'' have 10,000 CGI parts ''each''. Yet this was somehow passed over in the Academy Awards for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Compass_%28film%29 talking polar bears.]
* If you look really closely, you can see a large scar over Ironhide's right eye, which is kinda cool.
* If you watch his movements when he first emerges from the pool in the first movie, he walks with a slight limp.
* Apparently, he's a bit of a fan of Batman. {{Storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.2|Dogfight!}}
* The [[NEST]] "Special Programs" logo on the first ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager class Ironhide's toy is based upon a shoulder patch on [[Graham]]'s uniform.
* [[TakaraTomy]] marketing director, [[Masahiko Yamazaki]], has claimed that the Japanese version of ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Transformers Animated]]'' takes place in the Movie continuity and that [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] (renamed Ironhide in Japan) would actually ''be'' Movie Ironhide. Yamazaki's statement has come under some contradiction, as he also said that Bulkhead would have his "world view" altered in the dub to reflect Movie Ironhide's when, in fact, Japanese Bulkhead remains the same in personality as US Bulkhead. So whether Bulkhead actually ''is'' Ironhide in Japan remains uncertain at the moment.

While some may see ordinary civilian traffic as an obstacle, the speedy '''Backfire''' has mastered the art of using it to his advantage. Moving vehicles are no different from stationary ones to him as he scours the roads for the elusive [[Oil Pan]].

'''Crankstart''' found a remote beach in [[Africa]]<ref>[[Sea Spray]]'s bio</ref> to hide from the [[Autobot]]s. This turned out to be pretty boring, so he would sometimes fire off a missile at a passing [[human]] sea vessel to pass the time. Unbeknownst to him, [[Sea Spray]] and [[Breacher]] were hot on his tail.<ref>Crankstart's bio</ref>
