Although nominally a Decepticon, Flatline takes his medical oaths very seriously and will treat any damaged Transformer who finds themselves in his care, be they Decepticon, Autobot, or otherwise. <br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===2005 IDW continuity===<br /> {{first|[[Second Exodus|''Robots in Disguise'' #18]] (mentioned); [[Three Monologues|#20]] (full)}}<br /> Flatline was among those who remained in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] after [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] took command of the [[NAIL|neutral population]] and banished both Autobots and Decepticons. When [[Fixit (G1)|Fixit]] refused to leave injured Autobots behind, Starscream argued that they didn't need him since they had Flatline and [[Quickmix (G1)|Quickmix]], who were both medics. {{storylink|Second Exodus}} Starscream then tasked Flatline with building him a new body, though he got annoyed when the medic started going on about why the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] were so popular. {{storylink|Three Monologues}}<br /> <br /> [[File:BurningBright MedicFight.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.5]]<br /> Flatline got his work cut out for him after a &quot;death wave&quot; emitted from the [[Necrotitan]] killed and injured many of Iacon's citizens. Whilst diagnosing Starscream's injury, he let out a flippant remark about leadership that caused the stressed-out jet to snap and start yelling at him, but Flatline was too busy watching the Necrotitan stomp into the city to listen. {{storylink|No Exit: Dark Cybertron Chapter 6|No Exit}} When the Autobots returned to lend a hand, an angry Flatline confronted Fixit, outraged that he was keeping their wounded in a ''trailer'' and accusing him of failing to repair the Aerialbots or [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] before he left. {{storylink|Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8|Burning Bright}} He then got back to gathering the injured and evacuating the city. {{storylink|Finis Temporis: Dark Cybertron Chapter 9|Finis Temporis}}<br /> <br /> [[File:PrimelessPt1 Flatline.jpg|right|thumb|upright=0.9]]<br /> In the calm that followed the Necrotitan's defeat, Flatline helped [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ratchet]] bring a bisected [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] in for repairs and build a new body for [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]]. {{storylink|The Becoming: Dark Cybertron Chapter 10|The Becoming}} He reactivated [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Wheeljack]] after he'd spent months recovering in a [[CR chamber]], and was among the 'bots repairing Superion when Starscream brought Wheeljack to the facility. {{storylink|The World of Tomorrow}}<br /> <br /> Sent by Starscream to examine the fresh [[hot spot (phenomenon)|hot spot]] in [[Alyon]], Flatline reported having found hints of someone having visited recently—that someone being [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], who soon returned and cut down Flatline as well as all the [[Badgeless]] posted there. He survived and was later involved with an experiment involving inserting one of Bludgeon's corrupted sparks into the remains of [[Slag (G1)|Slug]]. {{storylink|The Transformers: Salvation|Salvation}}<br /> <br /> Following [[Joe Colton|Baron Ironblood]]'s attack on Iacon, Flatline was of the opinion that humans—due to their brief lifespans—were intrinsically violent creatures, and was displeased that such a species would be joining the [[Council of Worlds]]. {{storylink|Primeless, Part 1}}<br /> <br /> ===2019 IDW continuity===<br /> {{first|[[The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Four|''Transformers'' #10]]}}<br /> [[File:RiseOfTheDecepticonsAllFallDown FlatlineShockwave.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.6|&quot;Look, we all know which way you're gonna go, so can we hurry this along?&quot;]]<br /> Flatline tended to [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] at Security headquarters after a disastrous raid on a [[The Rise|Rise]] facility. He was less than enthused about Sideswipe focusing on having been insulted by [[Shadow Striker (G1)|Shadow Striker]]. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Four}} Later on, Flatline appeared at [[The Rise]] hideout tending to [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s injuries. Instead of being a secret member of the terrorist cell, Flatline indicated he was ethically bound to provide aid to all Cybertronians, regardless of character, in the local version of the Hippocratic oath. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: All Fall Down|All Fall Down}}<br /> <br /> Flatline was repairing the injured [[Roughstuff]] on a carrier that also held a captive [[Quake (G1)|Quake]], before a mob of Ascenticon supporters started toppling the hovering platform. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Prisoners|Prisoners}} Flatline later helped [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] and [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] repair injured Autobots. When [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]]'s group of Decepticons arrived to threaten their patients, Hoist managed to drive them away using repurposed [[Diagnostic Drone|diagnostic drones]]. {{storylink|Escape Part One}}<br /> <br /> [[File:DarknessOnceGazedUponPart3 FlatlineExarchon.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|His first major starring role and he isn't even in the driver's seat for it.]]<br /> After the Autobots abandoned [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], Flatline remained behind to care for the brain-dead [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]] and [[Kaskade]]. When the long-thought dead [[Provoke]] was discovered alive, Flatline administered to her as well, offering a diagnosis to her visiting friend [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight I|Test Flight I}} Flatline continued to monitor Provoke and called Cyclonus back to the medbay when she awakened. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight II|Test Flight II}} Later, when Ruckus unexpectedly awakened as well, Flatline was flummoxed, as it seemed medically impossible. Provoke tried to convince him otherwise, but Flatline insisted on a full examination of Ruckus. Provoke then revealed that she was actually [[Exarchon]] in disguise and required two more bodies to contain his Threefold Spark— Ruckus...and Flatline himself! {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Enigmatic|Enigmatic}} His spark supplanted by Exarchon, Flatline's body was used to gain access to The Rise's hideout, where Exarchon made known his return to his former lieutenant Shockwave. {{storylink|Darkness, Once Gazed Upon: Part Three}} Exarchon-as-Flatline gave his sales pitch to both Shockwave and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], trying to secure their allegiance once again. {{storylink|War's End Part One}} Ultimately, Exarchon's Flatline incarnation was melted to slag by the radiation-spewing [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]. {{storylink|War's End Part Three}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ==Games==<br /> ===''Transformers: Earth Wars''===<br /> <br /> [[File:Earth-Wars-Flatline.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.6]]<br /> <br /> *'''Class''': Medic<br /> *'''Lowest Star rating''': 2 star<br /> *'''Weapons''': <br /> : Healing Tower: Spawn a healing tower that recovers 39.4 health to all allies in range every second for 15 seconds.

<p>Aaggggh1244567: </p> <hr /> <div>[[File:MTMTE-Dreamwave-Bludgeon-Pretender.jpeg|upright=1.2|thumb|The &quot;Bludgeon effect&quot; presupposes that a toy of a guy that looks like this needed any additional help selling. Strange but true!]]<br /> <br /> Pleased to present for your consideration a portrait of a ''Transformers'' fan: [[you]]. Age: youthful. Income: slim. Your tastes lean towards toy robots, animation for children, and comic books. It is the latter that captures you now. You find yourself charmed by one of its ''dramatis personae'': a modern reinvention and reinvigoration of a character given little to do in the past. Inspired, you feverishly search online auction houses and dealer halls, but you find that the toy that no-one batted an eyelid at during its original shelf life has now risen in demand–and price–beyond your wildest imagination.<br /> <br /> You have just encountered the '''Bludgeon effect'''.<br /> <br /> [[Twilight Zone|Ahem]]. Put simply, we define the &quot;Bludgeon effect&quot; as being when the aftermarket prices of an inconsequential character's toy(s) skyrocket after said character gets an important, memorable, or sympathetic appearance in fiction. This differs from the usual [[To sell toys|toy-shilling methods]] in that, more often than not, there ''isn't'' a concurrently available toy... though sometimes, it can lead to new toy releases later down the road.<br /> <br /> In some circles, this phenomenon used to be known as the '''Furman effect''', dating from a time when [[Simon Furman]]-penned fiction was the only game in town.<br /> <br /> ==The Bludgeon effected==<br /> ===''The Transformers'' Bludgeon and Thunderwing===<br /> [[File:G1-toy Bludgeon.jpg|upright=1|thumb|...Well, OK, looking at the toy, maybe I can see it.]]<br /> [[File:G1Thunderwing toy.jpg|upright=1|thumb|]]<br /> The namesake for this phenomenon is the &quot;[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]&quot; [[Pretender]] [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]. Part of the [[1989]] &quot;small Pretender&quot; assortment, Bludgeon was comprised of an inner robot that transformed into a small tank and a Pretender shell styled after a skeletal samurai. On its own, this was no more remarkable than other toys in the same assortment, such as the [[Longtooth|monster walrus guy]] or the [[Octopunch (G1)|octopus bell suit diver]]. As a result of appearing as a badass martial artist in [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|stories penned by Furman]], however, he commands a handsome tuppence on the aftermarket.<br /> <br /> The same is true of another toy from the same year: [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]. Part of the new [[Mega Pretender]] assortment, Thunderwing had an oni-styled Pretender shell that itself could transform and combine with his inner robot to form a starship. Again, under Furman's pen, Thunderwing would appear in the comics as a ruthless Decepticon warrior with an obsession for the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]], and his machinations would influence events in the comic right up until its end in 1991.<br /> <br /> Now, despite being the ur-examples of the &quot;Bludgeon effect&quot;, both Bludgeon and Thunderwing were available on shelves around the same time as they were appearing in fiction. The characters' reputation and their toys' value are intrinsically tied to the rise of the internet and online fandom. As awareness of their comic exploits spread online, demand for the singular toys of each character shot up on sites such as the fledgling [[eBay]]. The takeaway from this is that the &quot;Bludgeon effect&quot; is not necessarily caused by ''new'' fiction, simply the new ''appreciation'' of fiction. (Though they ''did'' also appear in new fiction courtesy of Furman, with both seeing central roles in the ''[[The Transformers: Stormbringer|Stormbringer]]'' miniseries in 2006.)<br /> <br /> The desire for Bludgeon and Thunderwing somewhat subsided when new toys were released that closely evoked (and dare we say improved upon) their original appearances. A [[Bludgeon (ROTF)#Voyager|Bludgeon toy]] was released in the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline]] in 2009, complete with skeletal face and samurai swords, and a faithful (if undersized) update of [[Thunderwing (G1)#Generations|Thunderwing]] came out in the [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Original line (2010–2011)|''Generations'' toyline]] in 2010. New toys of [[Bludgeon (disambiguation)|various Bludgeons]] would continue to surface over the years.<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===''Beast Wars'' Razorbeast===<br /> [[File:BW Razorbeast toy.jpg|upright=1|thumb]]<br /> [[Razorbeast]] was a [[Size class|Basic Class]] toy released in the first wave of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' product in [[1996]]. A simple affair at US$5, Razorbeast transformed from a wild boar whose tusks gleam in the night into robot mode and back using a [[Autotransformation|spring-loaded mechanism]]. Appearing in only [[Optimus Primal vs Megatron!|one piece of contemporary fiction]], Razorbeast was quickly overshadowed by wavemates that would appear prominently in the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|''Beast Wars'' cartoon]], like [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] and [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]], leaving him desirable only to kids and completist collectors like [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7y8AdUmSxYE Will Smith].<br /> <br /> In 2006, Razorbeast was chosen for the main character role in the comic miniseries ''[[Transformers, Beast Wars: The Gathering|Beast Wars: The Gathering]]'' (and later its sequel, ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars: The Ascending|The Ascending]]''). Once again, a comic by Furman caused this nobody of a character, who had received precisely one toy ten years prior, to become a fandom darling–though Furman admits that had he actually ''seen'' the toy first, he might have picked someone else.<br /> <br /> Despite this boost in profile, there has yet to be another toy of Razorbeast since the original. That said, the popularity of ''The Gathering'' and ''The Ascending'' has dwindled as time has gone on.<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===''The Transformers''/''Generation 2'' Ironfist===<br /> [[File:G1-toy-Ironfist.jpg|upright=1|thumb|And unlike ''some'' people I don't [[Rotorstorm (G1)|snap my rotors]] or [[Pyro (G1)|disintegrate]]!]]<br /> [[Ironfist (G1)|Ironfist]] was an Autobot [[Lightformer]] released only in Europe, first in the [[The Transformers (European toyline)|''Transformers'' toyline]] in [[1993]] and then in ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' in [[1994]]. Turning into a Humvee with a massive, [[gimmick]]-loaded turret, Ironfist was innocuous among a particularly strong selection of toys.<br /> <br /> In 2010, [[IDW Publishing]] released ''[[The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers|Last Stand of the Wreckers]]'', a comic series considered an oasis in a particularly [[The Transformers: All Hail Megatron|dismantled]] and [[The Transformers (IDW)|decompressed]] desert. The book's writing duo of [[Nick Roche]] and [[James Roberts]] grew up in the right time and place to (correctly) recognise the appeal of early 90s Euro-''Transformers'', and so many such characters appeared in ''Last Stand''. In particular, Ironfist received an endearing, sympathetic, and tragic characterisation that quickly charmed fans. As you might guess from his inclusion on this page, suddenly his toy became a lot harder to come by.<br /> <br /> [[Fun Publications]] took notice of this clamour and, in short order, released a ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Transformers Animated]]'' version of [[Ironfist (Animated)#Toys|Ironfist]] at [[BotCon 2011]] and an [[Aligned continuity family|&quot;Aligned&quot; continuity]] &quot;[[Fisitron (Timelines)#Toys|Fisitron]]&quot; via their [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service|Figure Subscription Service]]. Hasbro also attempted to produce a ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' toy representing Ironfist on a more obtainable scale, but plans changed (see [[Ironclad#Notes|Ironclad]] for more information).<br /> <br /> ==What the Bludgeon effect is not==<br /> *[[To sell toys]]<br /> *[[Shortpacking]]<br /> *[[Chase figure]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Toys]]<br /> [[Category:Fan terminology]]</div>

The mission was a complete failure. {{Storylink|Energon Volume 3}}<br /> <br /> In another battle, Mirage, along with [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]], [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat]], and [[Shockblast]], were sicced on a weakened [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], but were blasted away by [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]]. {{storylink|Energon Volume 4}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===Cartoon continuity===<br /> ====''Armada'' cartoon====<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Doug Parker]] (English), [[Jin Yamanoi]] (Japanese)|[[Arto Nieminen]] (Finnish), [[Matti Klemm]] (German), [[Enrico Pallini]] (Italian), [[Jorge Saudinós]] (Castilian Spanish), [[Márcio Simões]] (Brazilian Portuguese), [[Armando Volcanes]] (Latin-American Spanish), [[Guy de La Berg]] (Swedish)}}<br /> <br /> [[File:ArmadaTidalShockwave.jpg|thumb|left|220px]]<br /> After leading the Decepticons to victory on the planet [[Dabola]], {{storylink|Awakening (Armada)|Awakening}} Tidal Wave was brought to [[Earth]] by the Decepticon strategist [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] in an attempt to bolster [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s forces. He passed [[Neptune]] on his way to [[Earth]], {{storylink|Detection}} before coming upon the Autobots and Decepticons locked in a beachfront battle. Thrust's claims of Tidal Wave's prowess initially conflicted with the newcomer's... lack of grace. This was exemplified when [[Hot Shot (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Hot Shot]] and [[Blurr (Armada)|Blurr]] capsized the huge warship and sent it to the bottom of the deep. However, Tidal Wave quickly recovered by transforming into his massively powerful [[robot mode]] and quickly sent the Autobots scrambling for cover. {{storylink|Awakening (Armada)|Awakening}}<br /> [[File:ArmTVTidalWave.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Crumbs, chief.]]<br /> Pounding the Autobots with firepower, Thrust called out to Tidal Wave to initiate his party piece. Tidal Wave transformed and split into three component vehicle sections (which somehow shrank in size), headed for Megatron and Powerlinxed with him, forming a combination known as ''Burning Megatron''. Megatron declared that &quot;The Power is Mine!&quot; before setting off in pursuit of Jet Optimus. Tidal Wave gave Megatron flight capability and an overwhelming amount of firepower which kept Jet Optimus at bay long enough for Megatron to slice the connection point between Optimus Prime and [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] with the Star Saber. However, Optimus Prime managed to obtain the [[Requiem Blaster (Armada)|Requiem Blaster]] and used it to injure both Tidal Wave and Megatron, forcing the Decepticons to retreat {{storylink|Desperate}} to the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] for repairs. {{storylink|Runaway}}<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave later participated in the Decepticons' operation to steal the Blaster. When the Decepticons learned the Autobots had not brought the super-weapon into the open, Megatron had Tidal Wave abandon Starscream on the battlefield and combined with him to attack the undermanned enemy headquarters. There, Megatron used the extra power Tidal Wave granted him to take the Requiem Blaster by force. {{storylink|Sacrifice}} After Starscream cracked and attacked Megatron, Tidal Wave was sent after him to Earth when the rogue Decepticon jet escaped their moon base with the Star Saber in his possession. The Autobots initially assumed both Decepticons were part of a combined attack, but eventually came to Starscream's assistance against Tidal Wave when the Decepticon shot him down. Hot Shot nailed Tidal Wave in the eye with his axle cannon but the powerful Tidal Wave recovered quickly and caused problems for Jet Optimus, who couldn't so much as scratch him. This prompted Starscream to toss the Star Saber to the Autobot leader which he used to slice off one of Tidal Wave's chest guns and forced the Decepticon to retreat again. {{storylink|Regeneration (Armada)|Regeneration}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Desperate Tidal Wave blocked.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave was present when Starscream led the Autobots into the heart of the Decepticon base to liberate the captive Mini-Cons. He handily took down Side Swipe, then moved to the chamber where the [[Hydra Cannon]] was under construction to prevent the Mini-Cons from being lost to the Autobots. On the way, he encountered [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]] and Hot Shot, the latter of whom distracted him long enough for the former to penetrate deeper into the Decepticon base.<br /> <br /> Though Hot Shot fought hard, Tidal Wave was simply too big and powerful for the young 'bot to defeat alone, so he fled to the construction room with Tidal Wave in hot pursuit. Tidal Wave arrived just in time to see the Mini-Cons flee with Perceptor. [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] then arrived and the two fought for a while before the Autobots retreated, their objectives achieved. {{storylink|Rescue}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Rescue tidal wave kicked.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4]]<br /> <br /> Megatron then sent Tidal Wave to [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] as part of a trap for Starscream and Jetfire. He beat up Starscream in the sky, but lost him in a dust storm. He encountered both the Autobots, as well as their Mini-Cons, shortly thereafter in orbit where they had located [[Firebot (Armada)|Firebot]]. Megatron and Thrust arrived to help him at this point, but all three were forced back when the three Mini-Con weapons reacted to their close proximity, and unleashed a powerful wave of energy. {{storylink|Mars (episode)|Mars}}<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave participated in the attack during which Starscream returned to the Decepticons, bringing the Star Saber and Skyboom Shield with him. Once again, he fought Hot Shot and Jet Optimus. {{storylink|Crack (episode)|Crack}} When Optimus Prime and Jetfire arrived to stop the Decepticon ship from unleashing the power of the [[Hydra Cannon]] against Earth, Tidal Wave was able to use cloaking technology to sneak up on the Autobot leader. He then proceeded to pin down Optimus, only for Jetfire to throw Starscream at him, allowing Optimus to wrestle free from his grasp. Nonetheless, thanks to Tidal Wave's and the other Decepticons' efforts, Optimus was forced to sacrifice himself to stop the super-weapon's blast from reaching the planet.{{storylink|Crisis (Armada)|Crisis}} Tidal Wave later combined with Megatron to defeat Side Swipe, {{storylink|Miracle}} and again when they found themselves on [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]]'s world. Despite being combined with his leader, Tidal Wave was not given a power boost or new colors when the Mini-Cons repaired Megatron and the others who had been severely damaged by the dark clone. {{storylink|Puppet}} He presumably took part in Galvatron's conquest of Cybertron {{storylink|Uprising (Armada)|Uprising}} and later tried, with only partial success, to prevent Hot Shot from getting close to Galvatron. {{storylink|Dash (episode)|Dash}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Cramp galvatron tidalwave.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3]]<br /> <br /> After that, Tidal Wave was assigned a squad to Decepticons and sent to clear an area of Autobots. He engaged Jetfire during this time, calling the Autobot a &quot;show-off&quot;. {{storylink|Portent}} He again combined with Megatron when the Decepticon leader decided to approach Optimus Prime for some... aggressive negotiations. Jetfire managed to keep him occupied single-handedly during this time. {{storylink|Cramp}}<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave attended the meeting during which the Autobots and Decepticons formed a temporary truce to combat the menace of [[Unicron]], notably shaking hands with Jetfire. {{storylink|Alliance}} After this, he combined with Galvatron in order to kill the traitorous Thrust, and then, with the similarly combined Optimus Prime and Jetfire, helped his commander penetrate deep into the core of Unicron, while he doubled back to keep the titan occupied. {{storylink|Union}} Though Tidal Wave participated on the final assault on Unicron, his efforts proved unnecessary; once Galvatron sacrificed himself to the dark god, there was no longer enough hatred in the universe to sustain Unicron, and he vanished from existence. The Transformers' war now at an end, Tidal Wave and his fellow Cybertronians stood united as a race, and begun rebuilding their war-torn planet. {{storylink|Mortal Combat}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====''Linkage''====<br /> At the climax of the Unicron Battles, Tidal Wave fought side by side with Overload against the malicious planet 'bot and his followers. {{storylink|Linkage Part 13}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====''Energon'' cartoon====<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Doug Parker]] (English), [[Jin Yamanoi]] (Japanese)|[[Anders Öjebo]] (Swedish), [[Gábor Forgács]] (Hungarian), [[Bruno Lähteenmäki]] (Finnish), [[Enrico Pallini]] (Italian), [[Jorge Saudinós]] (Castilian Spanish), [[Armando Volcanes]] (Latin-American Spanish)}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon-Tidal-Wave-Meets-Scorponok.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66]]<br /> After the end of the Unicron Battles, Tidal Wave loyally followed Galvatron's last request—that the Decepticons remain at peace with the Autobots. During the ten-year period that followed, Tidal Wave somewhere along the line changed not only his color palette but also his occupation—instead of being a warrior, he was now a guardian of the [[energon]] mines in the Solar System's asteroid belt.<br /> <br /> [[File:Energonep3 shock shock shock.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave's post was one of the first targets of the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] hordes. {{storylink|Cybertron City (episode)|Cybertron City}} After being attacked and abducted, {{storylink|Energon Stars}} he was brought to [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] and [[Alpha Quintesson]]'s base of operations where they convinced him to side with them by promising to revive Megatron, a deal which Tidal Wave eagerly agreed to despite clearly disliking Scorponok. He began by attacking the energon-mining facility at Desert City and managed to obtain a large amount of energon before being driven back by the Autobots. He attempted to retreive a dropped raw energon star from one of the fallen Terrorcons which resulted in him being painfully shocked, leaving perminent, lightning-like scars across his body.{{storylink|Scorpinok (episode)|Scorpinok}} At some point thereafter, he met up with Cyclonus somewhere in space and gave him a quick run-down on the situation. Cyclonus liked the idea of reviving Megatron, but was skeptical that this goal could actually be achieved and continued to Earth.<br /> <br /> After that, Tidal Wave led a force of Terrorcons to attack [[Mars City]] and steal its energon. Due to the city's weak defenses, he was able to grab all its energon and slaughter most of its guards and inhabitants before leaving.<br /> <br /> [[File:E4 Tidal Wave.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]<br /> Fresh from this success, he led an attack on [[Plains City]] alongside Scorponok where he faced off against his old allies Cyclonus and Demolishor. They were again repelled after a fierce battle against the Autobots, but this time Cyclonus came with them, having seen that Scorponok possessed [[Energon Sword|Megatron's sword]] and thus concluding that Megatron could be brought back to life with reasonable effort. {{storylink|Megatron's Sword}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon-Cyclonus-Galvatron-Corpse.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave, Cyclonus, and Scorponok returned to Unicron's body where Tidal Wave showed Megatron's corpse to Cyclonus. After Cyclonus hitting the corpse failed to resurrect it, he and Tidal Wave began to question Scorponok over whether or not it was possible to bring Megatron back, given what state he was in. They were dismissively ordered to simply keep at their Energon-gathering tasks. Tidal Wave's team then tried to raid a recently discovered Energon vein in some snow mountains, but were driven away when the Autobots warped in an [[Cybertron City (city)|entire city]] atop of it. {{Storylink|The New Cybertron City}}<br /> <br /> After this, the Autobots upgraded all their defenses around their energon sources, leading to a series of defeats for the Decepticons under Alpha Q's control. In frustration, Cyclonus kicked Megatron's corpse a few times in proxy revenge for all the times he'd mistreated them. Tidal Wave begged him not to do that and verbally defended Megatron when their leader's disembodied voice demanded that they treat him with more respect.<br /> <br /> [[File:Decepticons Megatron Resurrected.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]<br /> Seeing that Megatron's spark was causing trouble, Scorponok attempted to kill him outright but only succeeded in resurrecting him in a new body; at this, Tidal Wave was overjoyed and gleefully helped Megatron take control of Unicron's body from Alpha Q. He then followed Megatron in another attack on Plains City, during which Hot Shot lost an arm. {{storylink|Megatron Resurrected}} After this, they returned to their base where Tidal Wave was assigned to guard the recently inducted Scorponok. Scorponok wondered why Megatron didn't kill Optimus Prime in their last sortie and Tidal Wave told him to figure it out - in the event that he did, the rest of the Decepticons would start to trust him.<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon-Decepticons-Flee-Tower.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]<br /> Tidal Wave later took part in the Decepticon mission to [[Ocean City]], during which Demolishor returned to their ranks {{storylink|Megatron Raid}} for another raid on [[Moon (moon)|Earth's moon]]. {{storylink|Starscream the Mysterious Mercenary}} He also accompanied the Decepticons in their next attack on Ocean City, attacking from beneath the water but was like everyone else, repelled by the [[energon tower]]'s ''Autobot-flavored'' energon. {{storylink|Energon Tower (episode)|Energon Tower}} He was present when Megatron, for the first and only time, used the powers he gained from Unicron to restore Starscream's loyalty to the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Legend of Rodimus}}<br /> <br /> After this, he observed a force of Alpha Q's Terrorcons investigating [[Jungle City]], and reasoned that there was probably energon to be had. The Decepticons attacked and made off with as much energon as they could, during which Tidal Wave attempted to destroy the energon tower. On this occasion, most of their efforts went to waste when the Autobots exploded the city to prevent the Decepticons from getting the energon, but the 'Cons still came out ahead. {{storylink|Crisis in Jungle City}}<br /> <br /> He also took part in an attempt to capture [[Kicker Jones|Kicker]]. {{storylink|Kicker Beware!}} When this failed, Megatron got the idea that chucking some giant comet-shaped lumps of Unicron at Earth would obliterate the Autobots and assigned Tidal Wave to lead the efforts in pushing them across the gulf of space. Tidal Wave explained to Scorponok that this slow procession would scare the humans much more than having the projectiles appear near their planet without warning.<br /> <br /> However, Megatron's grand plan just gave the humans and Autobots time to prepare and so the plan failed miserably. All the Decepticons fled back to Unicron. {{storylink|Energon Grid (episode)| Energon Grid}} Following this, Megatron ordered them to find Alpha Q, who would be the next potential target for retrieving a lot of energon. Demolishor and Tidal Wave protested that this would be nigh impossible, but Megatron would have none of it. Just before trying to track him down, Tidal Wave and Starscream were responsible for seeing that Scorponok took all his energon back to Megatron and didn't try to skim any off the top for Alpha Q. {{storylink|Rodimus Friend or Foe?}}<br /> <br /> He later took part in a plan to lure out Alpha Q, using Scorponok as bait. However, it was [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]] who came to Scorponok's rescue. All the Decepticons present, Tidal Wave among them, exchanged fire with Rodimus's team and retreated when Megatron was injured. {{storylink|Go for Unicron!}} Some time after this battle, he received a message from Snow Cat that he had found energon on an icy planet and so the Decepticons set off in pursuit. He attacked the ''[[Miranda II]]'' alongside Megatron and, after making some initial gains, the two were forced back by Alpha Q's new [[Cruellock]] drones.<br /> <br /> Still, this event ended well for Tidal Wave and the Decepticons. The Autobot's used the ''Miranda II's'' [[Energon Ring]] to destroy the Terrorcons, allowing the Decepticons to take all the planet's energon. {{storylink|The Return of Demolishor}} After that, he took part in a rather half-hearted attack on the ''Miranda II'' in deep space, and was again driven off. {{storylink|A Tale of Two Heros}} After that, the Autobots under Optimus Prime decided to attack Unicron and so the Decepticons went to defend their base, Tidal Wave paying particular attention to Optimus Prime. After fighting for a while, both Unicron and the ''Miranda II'' arrived at Cybertron where both sides fell back to regroup. {{storylink|Battle Stations}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon-Shockblast-Rides-Tidal-Wave.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4]]<br /> <br /> With the arrival of Unicron, Cybertron erupted into chaos. Megatron decided to recruit the unstable and dangerous Shockblast, who was currently imprisoned by the Autobot/Decepticon coalition for having refused to lay down his arms when the two factions made peace. Knowing of Shockblast's disregard for the lives of his fellow Decepticons, Tidal Wave vehemently opposed this plan, but to no avail. {{storylink|Alpha Q: Identity}} Shockblast [[radio]]ed Megatron regarding a cache of energon big enough to revive Unicron, and thus despite his objections to trusting Shockblast, Tidal Wave was assigned to lead a team to this location.<br /> <br /> As soon as they met, Shockblast immediately took charge of the operation, sending the Decepticons to smash various towers. Tidal Wave refused to obey him and the two began squabbling with Shockblast actually using Tidal Wave as a flying surfboard from which to shoot down Autobots. Megatron ordered the Decepticons to bring Shockblast to him and, his loyalty to Megatron being greater than his hatred of Shockblast, Tidal Wave reluctantly did so. {{storylink|Shockblast: Rampage}}<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave kept up his dislike and distrust of Shockblast, even going so far as to blame him for Unicron's highly destructive pangs of hunger. {{storylink|Survival Instincts}} When Unicron had been sated, Megatron sent the surviving Decepticons to destroy Cybertron's energy grid with Shockblast in command; Tidal Wave chafed at this, but still obeyed his commander. Shockblast ended up getting in over his head and so Tidal Wave tried to rescue him, getting hit by a falling energon tower in the process. {{storylink|Each One Fights...}} After this, Megatron rebuilt him as Mirage, a much smaller and sleeker form.<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon-Mirage-1st-Appearance.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66]]<br /> <br /> Mirage's first mission in his new body was to lead a large force of Terrorcons down to Cybertron as a distraction to allow Shockblast to sneak in with the main force. The plan worked and, despite Shockblast's incompetence, Unicron was restored to functionality. {{storylink|Unicron Unleashed}} The Autobots retaliated and Mirage helped defend Unicron. {{storylink|Open Fire!}} In the aftermath he helped Starscream save Megatron from Shockblast's attempted coup and then followed Megatron into the rift in space that had opened up in the meantime. {{storylink|Ripped Up Space}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon-Mirage-Unleashed.jpeg|right|thumb|upright=1.66|I got smaller after my upgrade?]]<br /> <br /> Mirage followed Megatron when he destroyed the first of Alpha Q's planets and also when they took a large amount of energon from [[Iron Planet]] while deliberately not helping the imprisoned Shockblast. {{storylink|Protection}} He then accompanied Megatron on his secret mission to Iron Planet. There, Mirage advised Megatron not to release Shockblast; Megatron agreed, threatening to 'rewire' the traitor which inspired Shockblast to offer to capture an Autobot as proof of his loyalty. Megatron did release Shockblast at this, above Mirage's objections; Mirage's fears on this particular occasion proves groundless as Shockblast did indeed capture [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]], allowing Megatron to forcibly turn him into a Decepticon. {{storylink|Imprisoned Inferno}}<br /> <br /> When Scorponok went to harvest the energon from [[Jungle Planet (Energon)|Jungle Planet]], Mirage was among those who distracted the Autobots from this mission. {{storylink|Jungle Planet (episode)|Jungle Planet}} Mirage took part in the Decepticons' attempt to steal Jungle Planet's Energon before an energon tower was activated there. They met with failure. {{storylink|Bulkhead (episode)|Bulkhead}}<br /> <br /> Some time later, he took part in the attack on the Autobot base on Ocean Planet, approaching the base of the energon tower from underwater and destroying it. The Autobots brought in another tower to Ocean Planet, and Mirage tried once more to destroy it, but this time was met by an Autobot team waiting for him underwater. They foiled Mirage's attempt at toppling this second tower, and the Decepticons were forced to flee as the [[energon grid]] came online. {{storylink|Farewell Inferno}} ''When [[Planet Q]] was restored, Mirage was one of those sent to guard the palace in case Scorponok should get in and regain his memories, but was smashed out of the way by [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]]. As it turned out, however, they needn't have bothered. {{storylink|Return! Our Scorponok}}''<br /> <br /> He later took part in another defense of Unicron against the Autobots, and was this time defeated by the presence of [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]] and the timely arrival of Inferno, now rebuilt as Roadblock, with a huge number of energon towers. {{storylink|Omega Supreme (episode)|Omega Supreme}} He remained with Unicron and again fought to defend the chaos bringer's body from those who would destroy it, successfully doing so long enough for Megatron to reattach the Planet-Eater's head to its body. {{storylink|A Heroic Battle}}<br /> <br /> Optimus used the new powers granted to him by his combination with Omega Supreme to toss Snow Cat and Mirage around like rag dolls as he made his way towards Megatron's throne room. As soon as the pair recovered, they were hounded by a team of Autobots led by Hot Shot, leaving them unable to help Megatron gather the last bit of Energon he needed to fully awaken Unicron. Then... the voice of the Decepticon leader was heard throughout the planet, declaring Megatron was no more: Unicron was now in command of the Decepticon's body! {{storylink|The Power of Unicron}} Mirage, Snow Cat, and Demolishor struggled to escape the planet-eater's internal defenses. They failed, and ended up bound to Unicron's surface by energy-tendrils, giving them a front-row seat for Unicron/Megatron's battle with the giant-size, [[Primus]]-empowered Optimus Supreme. {{storylink|Optimus Supreme}} Fortunately for them, they were freed by a barrage of Autobot fire moments before Optimus destroyed Unicron, and captured by [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]]. {{storylink|Unicron Perishes}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Snow Cat Ballerina.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]<br /> Mirage, Snow Cat, and Demolishor were summarily put in prison where they shared a block with Six Shot. ''Oddly enough, given their history'', Mirage didn't seem to bear Six Shot any of the hatred he had for his brother. The four jailbirds were eventually released by Starscream. {{storylink|Ambition}} During the jailbreak, Mirage was separated from the others, but soon found them again. Not seeing any Autobots around, they just decided to blow up whatever was convenient. After a while, the others left him to attend to various tasks, leaving Mirage and Snow Cat to carry on creating chaos. {{storylink|Wishes}}<br /> [[File:Energon-Mirage-Galvatron!.jpg|thumb|200px]]<br /> After Six Shot collapsed the energon towers and flooded Cybertron with ''Decepticon-flavored'' energon gas, Mirage and Snow Cat rejoined the rest of the Decepticons in their commandeered control room, where they along with Demolishor were ready and willing to express their disdain for Six Shot when he activated the base defenses to fire on the ''Miranda II'' without Galvatron's express permission. {{storylink|Galvatron!}}<br /> <br /> The Autobots were soon to find a way to break through the gas shroud and return to Cybertron; Mirage took part in the battle that followed, which concluded with the Autobots escaping underground. {{storylink|Break Through}}<br /> <br /> At some point in time, both Mirage and a digital duplicate of his &quot;Tidal Wave&quot; body were among the Decepticons who hacked into an Autobot virtual training program that took the form of a tag-team fighting tournament. They lost their very first match against Hot Shot and Rodimus, but stuck around to watch Superion Maximus get thrashed by Bruticus Maximus and Constructicon Maximus later in the tournament. {{storylink|Distribution}}<br /> <br /> Mirage, Demolishor, and Snow Cat followed Rad and [[Brian Jones|Dr. Jones]] to the energon core, having been misdirected by Starscream into thinking this was the location of the Super Energon pool. Dr. Jones led Snow Cat and Demolishor off to find the actual pool, leaving Mirage to guard Rad. {{storylink|The Omega Train}} After a while, [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]] and Kicker arrived on a rescue mission. Arcee fired an [[energon star]] at [[Primus]], temporarily re-energising the deity and causing it to drive Mirage out. {{storylink|Ironhide Team}} Mirage then rejoined the Decepticons to shoot Autobots on the surface. The Decepticons turned to the business of using the energon towers to move Cybertron through space, through the rift back to Alpha Q's realm. Mirage helped battle the Autobots as the planet moved through the rift, and later tried to defend the towers against Autobot attack. Both efforts were undermined by Six Shot's pettiness and insubordination, and Cybertron was brought to a halt. {{storylink|Formidable}}<br /> <br /> Following this battle, the Decepticons retreated and Mirage, along with Demolishor and Snow Cat, was assigned to guard the unreliable Six Shot. Having apparently become stupider since his upgrade, Mirage and friends took seriously Six Shot's suggestion that they go and claim some super energon for themselves, and so they ran off and let their prisoner escape.<br /> <br /> [[File:Snow Cat and Mirage.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]<br /> Six Shot managed to trap them and they were once again rescued by Starscream. The four blasted their way into the control room, only to find Six Shot was long gone. Then, thanks to [[Sally Jones|Sally]] who had since infiltrated the Decepticons' control room, the Autobots arrived to take control of the Decepticon base. Mirage despaired at how Galvatron had left them to their own devices in a distinctly soap operatic manner. {{storylink|Galvatron Terror}} He was impressed when Galvatron became a giant after immersing himself for a second time in the super energon pool. Mirage helped his fellow Decepticons make war against the Autobots even as the now Unicron-sized Galvatron took to space, fluttering about like skirmishing insects around the colossus. {{storylink|Destructive Power}}<br /> <br /> Mirage was left unable to contribute further to the conflict when Optimus channeled Unicron's essence to grow in size and match Galvatron in stature. As the two titans crashed down on Jungle Planet, Mirage tried to step in anyways, only to be stopped by Starscream, who assured him his leader wouldn't want them to interfere even if they could. {{storylink|Spark (episode)|Spark}} When Galvatron flung himself into the energon sun to destroy Unicron's spark, ''Mirage loyally followed after him and seemingly ended his life''. {{storylink|The Sun}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Gayforgalvatron.jpg|750px|thumb|center|&lt;center&gt;''Pretty Soldier Sailor Mirage.&lt;/center&gt;]]<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===Dreamwave ''Armada'' continuity===<br /> ====''Armada'' comic====<br /> Tidal Wave was among the Decepticon troops allied with the Autobots and Mini-Cons during the battle against Unicron. He clutched his head in agony when the Chaos Bringer appeared and declared that this reality would be consumed. {{storylink|The End (Armada)|The End}}<br /> <br /> ====''Energon'' comic====<br /> Millions of years ago, Tidal Wave captured [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]] and coerced him into building [[seismic-shock warhead]]s for the Decepticons, which Megatron would use as a last resort to destroy the planet should he lose the war. Whenever Ironhide refused, an Autobot prisoner of war was executed. {{storylink|Aftershock (issue)|Aftershock}}<br /> <br /> Ten years after the defeat of Unicron, Tidal Wave felt ill-at-ease during peacetime, and was recruited by [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] into joining the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]]. Starscream came upon the group and openly mocked them during a cathartic exercise, wherein they unloaded their weaponry into the open. Tidal Wave and Scorponok sent Starscream tumbling into a ore processor to be crushed, though Tidal Wave's leg was injured in the process. The other Terrorcons brought him before their master, and Tidal Wave met with Alpha Quintesson for the first time. His benefactor healed his wounds and granted him an upgraded &quot;hyper-mode,&quot; boosting his offensive capabilities. The Terrorcons were then dispatched to Earth, in order to retrieve the energon that lay there, and revive Unicron. {{storylink|This Evil Reborn}}<br /> <br /> On Earth, the Terrorcons attacked an [[Alterenergy]] excavation/drilling operation site. Tidal Wave and Insecticon began setting up Energon siphons when the humans retaliated by sending several fighter jets their way. To Tidal Wave's chagrin, the other Terrorcons got to destroy them all while he prepped their equipment. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath}} Once that distraction had been dealt with, Scorponok made it known that he planned to gather Energon for himself, and only deliver his table scraps to Unicron. Though Tidal Wave disagreed with short-changing their master, he was too intimidated by Scorponok to speak up about it. He later alerted Scorponok to the return of Battle Ravage, who had caught the humans [[Kicker Jones|Kicker]] and [[Alexis Thi Dang|Alexis]] while on a hunt. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Two}} Scorponok took immediate interest in Kicker Jones, as his analysis of the boy indicated that he could detect Energon from afar. Tidal Wave doubted that Kicker was anything special, but Scorponok reminded him that he wasn't on his team to think. Optimus Prime and his Autobots then traveled to Earth to battle the Terrorcons. Tidal Wave and his compatriots powered themselves with pure Energon before the battle, giving them an extra edge. Though the Terrorcons easily outclassed their opponents, they stopped short of destroying them when one of their Energon siphons was destroyed; Scorponok ordered his soldiers to retreat, so they could salvage as much Energon as possible. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Three}}<br /> <br /> After coercing Kicker to find them another Energon vein, Scorponok left Tidal Wave behind to guard the siphons while he dealt with the Autobots. Hot Shot managed to get passed the other Terrorcons, and rescued Kicker alongside [[Skyblast (Energon)|Skyblast]] and [[Strongarm (Energon)|Strongarm]]. The Autobots then fled, leaving Tidal Wave with the Energon canisters... which contained impure and highly volatile Energon. The stockpile detonated, and Tidal Wave was later forcibly retrieved from Earth so that Alpha Quintesson could discipline him for his failure. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Four}} <br /> <br /> Tidal Wave attacked Ironhide and [[Cliffjumper (Energon)|Cliffjumper]] while they were overseeing the construction of a new base on Cybertron. Using Cliffjumper's life as leverage, he forced Ironhide to reactivate the seismic-shock warheads for Scorponok's scheme to use on Earth. Ironhide foiled Tidal Wave when he armed the doomsday weapon, with the cold threat of destroying Cybertron rather than allowing the Decepticons destroy Earth. Tidal Wave panicked and left through a space bridge. {{storylink|Aftershock (issue)|Aftershock}}<br /> <br /> While the other Decepticons and Terrorcons thought little of Tidal Wave, [[Alpha Quintesson]], however, saw something in him, and reformatted him into Mirage, noting as he did so that Scorponok had fallen out of [[Unicron]]'s favor. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 2}} Mirage, Slugslinger, and Sharkticon then tracked down Kicker and the Omnicons to the shores of the Black Sea and attacked, intent on once more capturing the energon-detecting boy. {{storylink|Multiplicity}} Mirage dominated the Omnicons on the battlefield, easily beating down both Skyblast and Arcee simultaneously while his acolytes took care of the other enemy 'bots. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 2}} Mirage believed his victory was assured. As he readied to finish off Strongarm, Sharkticon rose up from the nearby body of water... and went belly up. Kicker burst forth from the aquatic Decepticon, charged with incredible power from the subterranean energon well beneath them. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 3}} As Alpha Quintesson had instructed him to capture Kicker alive, Mirage was at a loss as to how he should handle this unexpected turn of events. While he hesitated, Kicker used his energon-manipulating abilities to revive the Omnicons to full strength. Now suddenly outgunned, Mirage and Slugslinger fled, leaving Sharkticon to fend for himself. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 4}}<br /> <br /> {{Unreleased energon comic}}<br /> Mirage fell in with Megatron after the Decepticon leader was resurrected, but was of the opinion that Megatron had lost his edge.

The [[Autobot]]s made their way inside him to take out the [[Decepticlone]] platoons inside and destroy him, but discovered that Tidal Wave wasn't merely a transport. They escaped just in time to avoid being crushed as Tidal Wave transformed into his titanic robot mode.<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave walked around the island chain in the deep waters, unloading volleys of missiles, lasers, and the occasional [[Jet Laser]] on the tiny-by-comparison Autobots. Despite his impressive size, firepower, and nigh-impenetrable armor, the Autobots managed to do enough damage to Tidal Wave's one weak point—his face—to cause a chain reaction that caused multiple explosions inside him, sending him falling face-first to the ocean floor.<br /> <br /> The Autobots were able to extract information from Tidal Wave's computer that the Decepticons' main base was located in Northern Alaska, but the information was planted there by Megatron to lead the Autobots into a trap.<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave was later seen still on Earth and has survived from his battle with the Autobots, but is now taking exercises with the survived [[Decepticlone]] army. {{storylink|Transformers (PS2)|Transformers}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===''Armada''===<br /> [[File:Armada Tidal Wave toy.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|&quot;TCS Tiger's Claw, Transform!&quot; (''Hasbro version pictured'')]]<br /> [[File:Micron Shockwave toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Alleged Decepticon Military Genius.&lt;br&gt;(''Takara version pictured'')]]<br /> *'''Tidal Wave with Ramjet''' (Giga-Con Class, [[2003]])<br /> **''Takara name'': '''Shockwave'''<br /> **''Takara ID number'': '''MD-06'''<br /> **''Takara release date'': [[July 17]], 2003<br /> **''Accessories:'' 2 missiles<br /> {{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (Takara)}}<br /> <br /> : Released in the fourth wave of ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' Giga-Cons (the first with the &quot;Unicron Battles&quot; branding), Tidal Wave is a robot made up of three different aquatic vehicles, collectively called the &quot;Dark Fleet&quot;: an aircraft carrier, a Cybertronic double-bowed battleship, and a troop-landing craft. All three can combine to form a single gigantic warship, which from there can transform to [[robot mode]] ''without'' having to separate. Each smaller craft has its own [[gimmick]]; the carrier has a working storage elevator for Tidal Wave's [[Mini-Con]] partner [[Ramjet (Armada)#Toys|Ramjet]], the battleship can launch two projectiles and has Mini-Con [[Powerlinx]]-activated swiveling cannons (also usable in robot mode), and the landing craft opens up to reveal seats for Mini-Cons to sit on. The Powerlinx-activated cannons on the battleship section are also ratcheted separately from the gimmick, allowing you to position them in any direction you want. Or you could just rotate the two at the back at 45° degrees, to match his robot mode appearance in both the ''Armada'' and ''Energon'' cartoons.<br /> <br /> : Tidal Wave can also combine with [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Armada|Megatron]] (and the [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#ArmadaGalvatron|Galvatron redeco]]) to form Tidal Wave's '''Weapon Mode''' (or '''Burning Megatron''' in Japan).

Something of a [[shellformer]], Mirage's transformation sequence is one of the most complex for the ''Energon'' toyline, and as a side effect, he ends up with some rather large [[Alternate mode|vehicle mode]] shell [[kibble]]. Some poor design and excessively tight knee joints means his lower legs will often detach from the upper thighs whenever one tries to bend his knees.<br /> <br /> : Speaking of poor design, the [[instructions]] show that Mirage's feet are supposed to fold all the way up inside his boat mode, however, when doing this, his forearms don't sit flush on the top due to the raised edges of his feet occupying the same space that the elbow joints need to sit in, causing collisions. This doesn't affect the tabbing of any of the parts, it just causes his forearms to stick out, which can be annoying. Seemingly, the [[Character model|model]] designers of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (cartoon)|Energon]]'' cartoon caught onto this, and opted to design his boat mode model with only his heels folded inside the boat mode, with his toes just folded up onto the back. This can be replicated on the toy and looks objectively cleaner overall.<br /> <br /> : The initial release of Mirage was one-per-case, and was part of a wave that saw limited distribution due to [[Shelfwarmer|a glut of early product on the shelves]].

While the Hasbro Mirage toy was marketed as a separate character, the cartoon and comic depictions followed the Japanese characterization, even going so far as to keep the name &quot;Mirage&quot; for Tidal Wave in his new form.<br /> <br /> : This mold was also used to make into ''Energon'' [[Dreadwing (Energon)#Toys|Dreadwing]] and [[BotCon 2009]] [[Banzai-Tron (G1)#Timelines|Banzai-Tron]].<br /> <br /> ::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2004/Decepticon/Mirage/mirage.htm More information on Mirage at TFU.info]''<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===''Titans Return''===<br /> [[File:TF-Titans-Return-Siege-on-Cybertron-Tidal-Wave.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Technically not ''Armada'' Tidal Wave by this wiki's classification.]]<br /> {{main|Tidal Wave (G1)#Titans Return}}<br /> <br /> :The [[2017]] &quot;Siege on Cybertron&quot; box set from the ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' subline of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' includes a Tidal Wave figure, based on the ''Armada'' character's cartoon appearance and Takara toy. However, as the box set is not cross-dimensional in nature, we've elected to include information for the figure in [[Tidal Wave (G1)|Generation 1 Tidal Wave]]'s article.<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===''Legacy''===<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> ===Tidal Wave===<br /> [[File:TidalwaveMouthplate.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2]]<br /> * In the English dub of the ''Armada'' cartoon, Tidal Wave is referred to by his Japanese name ('''Shockwave''') several times. Of course, the English dub was notorious for [[Sparkplug (Armada)|not]] [[High Wire (Armada)|keeping]] [[Sureshock (Armada)|names]] [[Grindor (Armada)|straight]].<br /> * While Tidal Wave's use of his own name as a battle cry is a trait shared in both versions of the ''Armada'' cartoon, his vocabulary is much more rich in the dub, mostly speaking in simple-minded short sentences. In ''Legends of the Microns'', his title is &quot;Strong-arm admiral Shockwave&quot;, with his dialog mostly consisting of repeating his name or the word &quot;Strong-arm&quot;, saying &quot;Combine&quot; when combining with Megatron, or chanting &quot;Shock, Shock, Shockwaaaaaaave&quot;, a trait he carries over into ''Super Link''. When he upgrades to Mirage (&quot;Shockfleet&quot; in Japan), his battle cry becomes &quot;ShockShockShock!&quot;<br /> * In the ''Armada'' cartoon, the big frowny expression and chin guard on Tidal Wave's toy is sometimes misinterpreted as a mouthplate. This alternate mouthplate design went on to be used for Tidal Wave's 3D model in the ''Energon'' cartoon.<br /> * The only time Tidal Wave splits into his three individual vehicle modes in the cartoon universe is during the [[stock footage]] combination with Megatron/Galvatron in ''Armada''.<br /> * Tidal Wave's [[:File:ArmadaTidalShockwave.jpg|Cybertronian mode]] is directly based on Generation 1 [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s [[alternate mode]].<br /> * An easter egg in the PlayStation 2 ''Transformers'' game is that, when he's in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], you can enter a cavity where his robot mode head is stored. You can walk all over it and a glitch enables you to walk inside his head. He doesn't seem to mind.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8hcHAW3YiY Gameplay video showing the Tidal Wave's head Easter egg.]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Tidal Wave is often mistaken by many [[Fandom|fans]] as being a ''really'' big guy in the ''Armada'' cartoon, when in reality, he's actually not that big at all; only standing [[:File:Scalearmada1.png|about three heads taller]] that [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s [[Super Mode]]. In fact, the size of [[#Toys|his toy]] compared to [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Armada|''Armada'' Megatron's toy]] is pretty much accurate (going by the top of Megatron's head, minus his horns). The only thing that makes him seem really big in the ''Armada'' cartoon, are the angles he is drawn on in his debut episode, &quot;[[Awakening (Armada)|Awakening]]&quot;, which is drawn in such a way that makes him seem more imposing, since the episode made him out to be a really big deal, and the &quot;warrior to turn the tide&quot;, so to speak (pun intended). Some of the subsequent episodes also kept the imposing-angled shots until he was eventually no longer the [[To sell toys|toy being advertised]], then his ''real'' [[scale]] started to show up more frequently (e.g. his appearance in &quot;[[Rescue]]&quot;). That being said, while his [[robot mode]] isn't all that big, Tidal Wave ''is'' a [[Size changing|mass-shifter]], growing to an enormous scale in his starship mode—which makes sense given the fact that his toy is made up of part of an aircraft carrier (even if that alternate mode was never shown on-screen outside of the stock footage combination sequence). Aside from [[Unicron]], Tidal Wave is ''still'' the biggest character in ''Armada'', so he is still a big dude, just not ''that'' big a dude.<br /> ** The PlayStation 2 ''Transformers'' game, on the other hand, opted to depict Tidal Wave as being closer to the actual size of his three individual alternate modes, making him an absolute behemoth.<br /> ** ''Energon''{{'}}s depiction of Tidal Wave's scale is fairly consistent throughout the show—even in his starship mode, which had actually lost its mass-shifting capabilities from ''Armada'', due to the cartoon's use of 3D animation.<br /> ** Tidal Wave and Megatron's toys in the ''Energon'' toyline are a couple of &quot;scale anomalies&quot;, as Tidal Wave is [[:File:Energon-Decepticon-scale-chart.jpg|in-scale with the other Decepticons]] in the ''Energon'' toyline (aside from the Maximus's), yet he doesn't scale well at all with Hasbro's [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Energon|Leader Class Megatron toy]], which scales perfectly with the other Decepticon toys. Instead, Tidal Wave is better scaled with the Takara [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Ultra|Ultra-sized &quot;Galvatron&quot; toy]] (Takara's ''Energon'' Megatron mold), but this Megatron figure doesn't scale with the rest of the Decepticon toys. How this works is uncertain, but it probably has something to do with the way their designs were translated into animation models (e.g. certain parts being longer or shorter compared to their toys, etc.).<br /> * In the ''Energon'' cartoon, Tidal Wave's appearance is significantly altered after he touches a raw [[Energon star]] in the episode &quot;[[Scorpinok (episode)|Scorpinok]]&quot; {{sic}}. Not only does he gain his toy-accurate &quot;lightning&quot; deco as a sort of scarring, his shoulders also notably [[:File:Decepticons Megatron Resurrected.jpg|sit in a higher position]] than before; having the tops of them sit above his head, rather than down in [[:File:Energon-Tidal-Wave-Meets-Scorponok.jpg|their natural position]] like his toy and ''Armada'' character model. The deco change makes sense, but what was the purpose of shifting his shoulders? <br /> * Designer [[Aaron Archer]] opined that Tidal Wave was the only ''Armada'' mold to return for the ''Energon'' cartoon simply because &quot;he's big and will sell well&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;{{citesocial|quote=Hes big and will sell well|link=https://news.tfw2005.com/2003/08/19/orsons-world-819-updated-again-758|name=Aaron Archer|site=TFW2005|year=2003|month=08|day=19}}&lt;/ref&gt; A glowing endorsement.<br /> * Like all non-toy [[Kreon]]s, Tidal Wave is made up of existing parts, in his case using the [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Ironhide]] helmet, as well as using legs in place of his arms, with hand pieces inserted into the feet.<br /> <br /> ===Mirage===<br /> * An early name used for Shockfleet (Mirage) found on Takara concept sheets is '''Gigawave''' (ギガウェーブ ''Gigauwēbu'').<br /> * Mirage was almost certainly intended by [[Hasbro]] to be a [[Mirage (Energon)|separate character]]: they implied this to be the case, saying that designing the toys before the show was completed led to &quot;some characters not aligning together in the animation and toy expressions&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;[[Hasbro Q&amp;A/August 2009: Answers]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Archer also states that the Mirage/Dreadwing design's alternate mode was inspired by the ''[[G.I.

Perhaps someone tipped Furman off about this particular cartoon change?<br /> * In the Japanese version of the ''Energon'' cartoon, after Tidal Wave becomes Mirage, he becomes [[Transformer romance|very affectionate]] towards Megatron/Galvatron. The English dub dodges the issue as best it could (although that was probably due to the fact that the English writers didn't seem to know what was going on in the show at the best of times), with Mirage's love-struck remarks being replaced with simple cheering for his leader or something else entirely—but it couldn't do anything about his repeated coquettish gestures, doe-eyed expressions, or that one time he pirouetted and struck a pose while surrounded by a glowing pink heart.

Once he has set his sights on a goal, his drive to achieve it is unwavering and he will accept nothing less than total victory. Despite these attributes, and prodigious physical power, Magmatron's greatest advantage often lies in his charismatic leadership. Revered and admired by his soldiers, Magmatron fits the title &quot;[[Emperor of Destruction]]&quot; better than most. <br /> <br /> On the surface, Magmatron seems to have much in common with [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]. Both are schemers and planners, willing to subvert the established Predacon power structure to suit their plans and ultimate ambition for power, and possessing the strength to fight off any who challenge them. Their key difference lies in their relationships to that power structure. Megatron is at heart a rebel, working outside existing society. Magmatron, on the other hand, values his position of power and eminence in the current Predacon hierarchy, and though he schemes to someday stand at the top of that body, he is unwilling to risk his current high standings any more than he must to achieve those future goals. Also, while Megatron is more openly abusive and harsh with his troops, Magmatron operates with more military professionalism when interacting with his own soldiers. This aspect of Magmatron's personality may also be due to his more professional background, as opposed to Megatron's more rogue-ish ways.<br /> <br /> Magmatron possesses a [[mitotic spark]] which allows him to separate into three dinosaur forms called '''Landsaurus''' (ランドサウルス ''Randosaurus''), '''Seasaurus''' (シーサウルス ''Shīsaurus''), and '''Skysaurus''' (スカイサウルス ''Sukaisaurus''),&lt;ref&gt;Referred to as &quot;Landsaur&quot;, &quot;Seasaur&quot;, and &quot;Skysaur&quot; in Magmatron's ''Beast Machines Dinobots'' bio.&lt;/ref&gt; or merge them into a single monstrosity called '''Magmasaurus''' (マグマサウルス ''Magumasaurus'').<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===''Beast Wars Neo'' cartoon===<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Show Ryuzanji]] (Japanese)|[[Kwan-cheol Kim]] (Korean)}}<br /> [[File:Magmatron cartoon.jpg|left|thumb|No, the toy isn't this cool.]]<br /> Magmatron was fighting [[Big Convoy]] on a distant planet, up until he confronted him personally. Shocked by the legendary warrior's appearance, he attempted to stand against him, but was quickly disabled by Convoy's “Big Cannon”. Much later on, Magmatron and his troops were stationed on [[Gaia]], where they caught a glimpse of five new [[Maximal]] recruits touching down on the planet's surface. In response, he immediately ordered his soldiers to crush their opposition. He then rendezvoused with the other Predacons, surrounding their hostage, [[Stampy (BW)|Stampy]], who told them where the Maximals were. Going off of this information, Magmatron found his way to Big Convoy and the other recruits, mocking the legendary Maximal warrior for being a teacher rather than a lone wolf like before. Convoy's students then formulated a plan to rescue Stampy, with [[Colada]], [[Break]], and [[Longrack (BW)|Longrack]] taking on the other Predacons, and [[Heinrad (BW)|Heinrad]] freezing time for long enough to snatch the rabbit ‘bot away from Magmatron, and return back to his team unscathed. Enraged at having lost his hostage, Magmatron fired at Heinrad, who ducked, allowing the shot to instead hit Big Convoy in the chest. Demanding payback for his previous defeat, Magmatron prepared to launch another “Magma Rocket”, but was countered by Big Convoy's “Big Cannon” once more. Seeing how the battle was unfolding, [[Guiledart]] requested that [[DNAVI]] take them back to headquarters, which teleported all Predacons away from the combat. Back on his ship, Magmatron vowed to take the [[Angolmois Energy]] that rightfully belonged to the Predacons, before Big Convoy and his Maximals could. {{storylink|Big Convoy, Move Out}}<br /> <br /> Magmatron received a transmission from [[Saberback]], who was stationed on the planet [[Godbless]], and had found a capsule of Angolmois energy. Saberback gloated to him about his abilities to create illusions, but Magmatron dismissed this, and was only concerned about the recovery of the capsule, and the plundering of the planet for natural resources. Later on, when Saberback asked to be teleported back to the ship with the capsule in tow, Magmatron told him that he couldn't teleport both at once, and that he'd have to make it back on his own. When Saberback told him that the Maximals were trailing him, and would complicate the situation, Magmatron ordered Guiledart, [[Dead End (BW)|Dead End]], and [[Sling]], to assist their comrade. When the Predacons were defeated by Big Convoy, Magmatron had DNAVI teleport them off Godbless before they could be harmed any further. {{storylink|Chase the Mysterious Capsule}}<br /> <br /> Magmatron was on the ''[[Dinosaur (ship)|Dinosaur]]'' when Guiledart suggested touching down on [[Solid]] to retrieve the Angolmois capsule located there. Although Dead End had his doubts, Magmatron insisted, and had DNAVI teleport them down to the planet. {{storylink|Burning Heart Below Freezing}} <br /> <br /> When Guiledart suggested outright attacking the Maximals on [[Maderan]] so that the Predacons could search for the Angolmois there unfettered, Magmatron agreed and gave him autonomy over the mission. He later had to come to the planet personally to recapture the Maximals when Guiledart was taking too long, dressing him down for failing at a supposedly simple mission. He did, however, allow his Predacons to torture their prisoners, himself taking great glee in seeing the Maximals in pain. Stampy was furious at the treatment of his friends and tried to attack Magmatron, but the Predacon leader swatted him away. When Big Convoy arrived soon after, Magmatron ordered a tactical retreat, and had DNAVI take the Predacons back to the ''Dinosaur''. {{storylink|Hang in There, Stampy}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Bwneo6 magmatron trisaur.jpg|right|thumb|300px|The Sauroboros.]]<br /> <br /> Magmatron was at the helm of the ''Dinosaur'' when the Predacons were in orbit of [[Donovan]]. He noted that the Maximals were likely there to find the Angolmois, just like them. When his troops managed to find the capsule located on the planet, he was there to listen to the transmission between them and DNAVI, during which they were told that both them ''and'' the capsule couldn't be teleported at once. {{storylink|Mirage of the Sand}}<br /> <br /> {{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Dinosaur Combiner Magmatron}} {{storylink|Duel in the Labyrinth}} {{storylink|The Black Hole Crisis}} {{storylink|Sub-Commander Longrack}} {{storylink|Waa!

After exposure to the Angolmois Capsule that crashed on the planet, the gang became more ferocious and killed [[Big Convoy#Beast Wars Neo comic|Big]]'s friends. The gang attacked [[Lio Convoy]], who had just arrived on the planet by accident, but failed because of Big's interruption. The gang followed Lio Convoy and Big's trails to the site where the capsule fell. Big pushed the gang into the valley, where the ''Giganotosaurus'' and its minions were caught in the explosion of the Angolmois Capsule and evolved into Transformers. The ''Giganotosaurus'' was fused with a ''Quetzalcoatlus'' and an ''Elasmosaurus'', becoming Magmasaurus. The Magmasaurus transformed into Magmatron, commanding his just-evolved minions to attack Lio Convoy and Big. Lio Convoy managed to defeat the henchmen with ease, but Magmatron took him out with one blast. With the power he now possessed, Magmatron claimed they would travel to various planets to kill every living thing. {{storylink|The Beast Wars &quot;Neo&quot; Begin!!!}}<br /> <br /> ====''Beast Wars Neo'' manga====<br /> [[File:bwn-bigconvoy&amp;magmatron-manga-06-riding.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]<br /> <br /> {{charstubfiction|{{storylink|The 5 Rookies}} {{storylink|There Are 7 Capsules}} {{storylink|100000000000000000 Grains of Sandron!!}}}}<br /> <br /> Later, Magmatron again met Big, now the Maximal Big Convoy. During a fierce battle, Magmatron indicated they had a history but Big Convoy couldn't remember and was surprised by Magmatron's words. When Magmatron thought he gained the upper hand, he was surprised by multiple blasts from his foe's [[Big Cannon]]. {{storylink|Mortal Combat! Twenty Thousand Meters in the Sky}}<br /> <br /> The badly wounded Magmatron now had to separate himself into the three dinosaurs and stay in healing chambers. He ordered his henchmen to go to the planet [[Jörmungandr]] to retrieve an Angolmois Capsule. The group, however, failed and was sucked into space. The mysterious [[Unicron|Black Ball]], which had been retrieved by Big Convoy's crew, suddenly appeared in the ''[[Dinosaur (ship)|Dinosaur]]'', offering his troops, the [[Blentron]]s, to Magmatron. {{storylink|A Battle Fought Alone}}<br /> <br /> Magmatron and Big Convoy were tricked to an {{w|amphitheatre}} where the last capsule was located by the Black Ball. Magmatron commanded the Blentron to attack Big Convoy's crew. During the battle, Magmatron was attacked from behind by a Blentron. It was revealed that both Magmatron and Big Convoy were the last Angolmois Capsule, and thus the Black Ball, who was actually Unicron, desired to consume them to regain the energy. Magmatron saved his old rival, who was despairing upon regaining his memory,and convinced him to team up to fight Unicron and the Blentrons. Magmatron was eventually chewed up and spat out by Unicron. A dying Magmatron, now reduced to only a head, left his [[Magma Blade (BW)|Magma Blade]] to Big Convoy as a &quot;parting gift&quot; and asked Big Convoy to give him an honorable &quot;warrior's death&quot; with his own sword. Big Convoy conceded to the request. {{storylink|Double Cross}}<br /> <br /> Big Convoy later struck the blow that finished off Unicron's physical body with Magmatron's sword, avenging his death. {{storylink|Return to Zero}}<br /> <br /> ===''Beast Machines'' toy bio===<br /> Magmatron was a member of the [[Dinobot (BM)|Dinobot faction]], revered and reviled in equal measure. He had been on an intergalactic quest for energy capsules, but when he returned to Cybertron he found it being overrun by [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon drones!]] <br /> <br /> He served under [[T-Wrecks]], despite bearing a higher numerical rank and the nickname &quot;Emperor of Destruction.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===3H comics===<br /> Magmatron had become part of the new Dinobots, and was sent on a mission, given to them by the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]], {{Storylink|Departure}} to the planet [[Arkus]]. The mission was a trap, however, and Magmatron and his Dinobots were attacked by [[energy vampire]]s and their master known as the [[Dweller (G1)|Dweller]]. {{storylink|Betrayal}} Magmatron fought off the Dweller long enough for the Dinobots to escape. When they returned to rescue him, they found nothing but his sword. {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1}}<br /> <br /> ===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===<br /> {{BW Shell Game}}<br /> Magmatron made his way to prehistoric Earth, with the intention of raising an army out of the protoforms left behind by the Axalon's crew. He watched from afar as Optimus Primal's team launched from the planet aboard an Autobot shuttlecraft, with Megatron as their prisoner.<br /> As one of his agents, Razorbeast, activated the stasis pods remotely, another one of his lackeys, Spittor, reported that one of the protoforms had been activated as a Maximal instead of a Predacon. Abandoning his cover as a Maximal double-agent, Razorbeast fled from Magmatron and into the wild. {{storylink|Shell Game issue 1|Shell Game #1}}<br /> <br /> ===2006 IDW ''Beast Wars'' continuity===<br /> According to one account, Magmatron was the result of one of many experiments conducted by the [[Tripredacus Council]] in the advent of protoform technology, after the signing of the Pax Cybertronia. {{storylink|Dawn of the Predacus}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Magmatron speech TheGathering1.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb]]<br /> <br /> Another account has it that, during the early days of the [[Pax Cybertronia]], Magmatron endangered the fragile peace, being an indomitable general who would not accept defeat. When he was finally brought to heel by the [[Tripredacus Council]], he still chafed under the terms of the treaty and the council's apparent willingness to roll over for the Maximals. However, he accepted his change in status and maneuvered into a position on the [[Committee for State Affairs]] alongside his old enemy, [[Big Convoy]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook #2}}<br /> <br /> Frustrated by the Council's decision to bide its time, Magmatron recruited a small band of disenchanted warriors and fostered a professional relationship with the Tripredacus agent [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] to keep abreast of the situation on [[Earth]]. With this information, he formed an elegant and tightly knit plan to travel backwards in time to prehistoric Earth and reprogram all of the remaining [[protoform]] Maximals into Predacons. Keeping his plans secret until the last moment, he revealed to his forces that the Council had ordered him to pick up the task where their previous agent failed: capture the rogue [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]].<br /> <br /> [[Chronal phase|Chronically displacing]] his crew so that they could not be detected by the beast warriors who are already there, they set to work. He ordered [[Razorbeast]] to begin activating the [[stasis pod]]s while [[Spittor (BW)|Spittor]], [[Manterror]], [[Transquito]], and [[Iguanus (BW)|Iguanus]] reported on their progress. They witnessed the birth of three Predacons, but Spittor was greeted by the Maximal, [[Polar Claw]]. More Maximals were spotted, revealing Razorbeast as a spy, but the warthog escaped into the wilderness. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 1|The Gathering #1}}<br /> <br /> Once his new army was assembled, Magmatron ordered them to hunt down the Maximals. [[Drill Bit (BW)|Drill Bit]] and Spittor, however, accompanied Magmatron on his personal quest to find Razorbeast. He located the spy and quickly gained the upper hand with his three dinosaur modes, but Razorbeast pulled a fast one, and buried the Predacon leader beneath a mountainside. Magmatron soon recouped his losses by recovering the spark of the Tripredacus agent, Ravage. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 2|The Gathering #2}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Gathering3-Megatron Magmatron.jpg|right|upright=1.5|thumb|Insert &quot;Megatron not pleased a BWN character is stealing his role&quot; joke here.]]<br /> <br /> Iguanus, having located a [[blank]] protoform, assisted Magmatron with rebirthing Ravage in a new, [[Transmetal 2]] body. Magmatron ordered Ravage to hunt down and terminate Razorbeast's Maximals. Magmatron proceeded to set forth on his next mission; locating and capturing Megatron to ensure the Tripredacus Council didn't catch on to his real plans. He confronted Megatron, and the two engaged in battle. Megatron insisted that Magmatron was foolish for coming after him alone, as Ravage did, but Magmatron was not alone— Iguanus and Drill Bit ambushed Megatron and disabled him. The Predacons brought Megatron to a [[unspace|transwarp]] platform they had set up and prepared to send Megatron into the hands of the Council, but they were interrupted by the wandering [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 3|The Gathering #3}} <br /> <br /> [[File:MagmatronVGrimlock TheGathering4.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb]]<br /> <br /> Magmatron engaged Grimlock in a vicious [[beast mode]] battle, and despite the Maximal's resilence, Magmatron eventually overwhelmed him. Grimlock was enough of a distraction, however, to let Razorbeast and [[Optimus Minor]] enter the camp undetected and steal a [[chronal phase facilitator]]. When Razorbeast confronted Magmatron in the open, the Predacon general saw an opportunity to settle an old score. But with Razorbeast using the facilitator to shift out of his chronal phase, Magmatron was unable to land a single hit on his smaller opponent. Optimus Minor removed the facilitator attached to the unconscious Megatron, returning the rogue to his proper chronal state. Magmatron lunged to stop it, and ended up falling onto the transwarp platform just as it activated. Razorbeast blasted the device, causing it to malfunction and send Magmatron to parts unknown. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 4|The Gathering #4}}<br /> <br /> Razorbeast's meddling in Magmatron's transwarp shunt caused the Predacon commander to be consigned to a temporal limbo, able to traverse the whole of history but unable to affect any of the events he witnessed. Through this, he saw the eventual end of Cybertron as its inhabitants set upon each other with beastly fury while [[Shokaract]] summoned [[Unicron]] to devour the planet. Knowing that the roots of this catastrophic event were already beginning in his time, Magmatron turned to the enemy who had consigned him to this fate. Exerting what little influence he could, he stabilized the Transwarp carrier signal sent by the Maximals weeks earlier, allowing the time-lost distress call to be received by [[Lio Convoy]] and the [[Pack]]. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 1|The Ascending #1}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Magmatron Ravage TheAscending2.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb]]<br /> <br /> Magmatron's meddling effect on the timestream was noticed by Unicron, who dispatched [[Latolata|Rartorata]] to Earth to deal with the assembling combatants there. His ability to change the future was increased further, however, when during the confusion of the battle on Earth between the Maximal and Predacon forces, a playing 'possum Ravage made contact with the chronal displacement bands. Magmatron was able to use his limited influence to hold Ravage inside chronospace, where he was able to make contact with the former [[Decepticon]]. Magmatron briefed him on the apocalypse that could yet come, urging him to call a truce with the Maximals in an effort to stop the end of all things. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 2|The Ascending #2}}<br /> <br /> From his chronal prison, Magmatron watched his rival Big Convoy die at Shokaract's hands in the future, knowing that it was only a prelude to the destruction to come. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 3|The Ascending #3}} A combined group of Maximals and Predacons returned with Ravage to present-day Cybertron to battle Shokaract, arriving before Big Convoy could be killed. Ravage again briefed with Magmatron, who instructed him to send a Maximal to attach a chronal-displacement device onto Shokaract's body. This was eventually accomplished at the cost of many lives and Shokaract was brought to Magmatron within chronospace. Magmatron showed him Cybertron's future and the realization that he was a pawn of Unicron caused a distraught Shokaract to commit suicide, causing a &quot;time-lash&quot; that freed Magmatron from limbo.<br /> <br /> The restored Magmatron informed the assembled Maximals and Predacons that the threat had ended. He also reported that his old foe Razorbeast had died on Earth and respectfully declared the Maximal worthy of a momument. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 4|The Ascending #4}}<br /> <br /> ====Ask Vector Prime====<br /> [[Vector Prime]] and his [[Time Warrior (AVP)|Time Warrior]]s prevented Magmatron from falling prey to the [[X-Dimension]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/12}}<br /> <br /> ===Waspscream continuity===<br /> In [[Primax 208.06 Zeta]], Magmatron and the [[Dinobot (BM)|Dinobot]]s were among the resistance groups against [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]]'s [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] rule of Cybertron. After the defeat of the Vehicons, Magmatron formed a new High Council with [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspscream]], [[Icebird]], and [[Rodimus Primal]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/16}}<br /> <br /> ===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===<br /> [[File:BWU Magmatron.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb]]<br /> <br /> Magmatron was chief engineering specialist aboard the ''Dinosaur'', overseeing junior engineers [[Crazybolt (BW)|Crazybolt]] and [[Dead End (BW)|Dead-End]]. During the launch of an away mission to [[Metascan Omega|LGC-8803]], the ''Dinosaur'' was attacked by an [[Intruder]] craft, putting Magmatron to work maintaining the integrity of his ship.<br /> <br /> He had little time to spare when [[Killer Punch]] came by with a tale of the hallways moving on him and [[Hydra (BW)|Hydra]] possibly being killed. Still, the intelligence specialist's sensor logs were compelling, so Magmatron arranged for a localized brown-out so that Killer Punch could reach the laboratory the ship seemed dedicated to keeping from him. It was only due to Killer Punch's paranoid comms channel that Magmatron saw what happened next. The Builder political officer [[Synapse (BWU)|Synapse]] bragged about killing Hydra before having Killer Punch killed as well. An uprising had begun on Cybertron, and Synapse couldn't have the proto-former crew getting any sympathetic ideas.<br /> <br /> Magmatron rallied the remaining members of the crew on board in a plan to reach the captain's chambers and disable the ship's internal defenses. He and [[Guiledart]] made their way to the captain, only to find [[Full-Tilt (G1)|Full-Tilt]] wasn't responsible for the attacks on the crew. He had been severed from control of the ''Dinosaur'', actually the [[Titan (group)|Megamaster]] war criminal once known as [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. Additional damage done by the [[Destructon]] intruders only made the situation more perilous, forcing the chief back to engineering to keep the ship in the air long enough to seize control of it. Once Dead-End disabled Trypticon's higher consciousness, Magmatron and Full-Tilt were able to preserve the ship's integrity long enough to crash it on LGC-8803, opening the starship up into a new colony dubbed [[Dinosaur City]].<br /> <br /> Leaving Full-Tilt, first officer [[Longrack (BW)|Longrack]], and others behind on Dinosaur City, Magmatron manned a shuttle with a contingent of his crew who wished to return to Cybertron and fight in the [[Grand Uprising]]. {{storylink|Intersectionality}}<br /> <br /> Magmatron's crew remained intact as a unit when they joined the Resistance. Guiledart, Bazooka, Crazybolt and Rampage were only joined by two additional resistance fighters named [[Archadis]] and [[Sling]]. Archadis was an arrogant lout, but his prior loyalty to [[Lio Convoy]] led to him being named second-in-command of Magmatron's squad. During a mission to eliminate a traitor named [[Snapper]] in the midst of a prisoner transfer, Magmatron's unit was separated from Rampage and got into a protracted shoot-out with the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]] guards. Rampage returned, uncharacteristically asking for help. He had been drafted into the defense of Cybertron by the Oracle against the [[Antares Eight]], disguised aliens intent on exposing Cybertron to conflict with the [[Human Confederacy]]. Magmatron abandoned Lio Convoy's mission to help Rampage, even fighting alongside Snapper and the Constructicons in the process. Once the dust settled, these united Cybertronians mostly chose to remain together as the [[Ex-Bot (BWU)|Ex-Bots]], defending innocents in [[Proximax]] and beyond from the fallout of the Builders' war with the Resistance. Archadis and Sling left to return to Lio Convoy, but the others remained with Magmatron and Rampage. {{storylink|Cultural Appropriation}}<br /> <br /> Magmatron and the Ex-Bots defended Proximax from the horrors of war over the next stellar cycle. Magmatron and the former MaxCop [[Stiletto]] rose to the top as co-leaders of the motley collection of bots from different factions. They captured a renegade Predacon scientist named [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] intent on using a [[Robo-Smasher]] on the populace. The war between the Builders and the Resistance was soon overcome by the [[Vehicon Apocalypse]], as the Builders latest weapon turned against them and the planet at large. The Ex-Bots joined the fight, and advanced with various armies on the [[Grand Mal]], center of Vehicon activity. Magmatron and Guiledart found themselves fighting alongside the [[Legion of the Inferno]], army of the [[Independent Predacus States]]. When the Mal fell (thanks to Rampage), Magmatron's three forms coordinated the various forces in corralling and eliminating as many disoriented but functional Vehicons remained.<br /> <br /> In the aftermath, Magmatron's battlefield activities had impressed [[Ram Horn]], last survivor of the previous [[Tripredacus Council]]. He was offered a place on the new council, joining Ram Horn and [[Ser-Ket (BWU)|Ser-Ket]], protege of the fallen founder of the Predacons, [[Preditron]]. Magmatron represented the Independent Predacus States at the Grand Summit orchestrated by Lio Convoy, as the [[Cybertronian Parliament]] was forged to lead Cybertron into the next millennium. {{storylink|Derailment}}<br /> <br /> ===Legends World===<br /> Magmatron of the [[Legends World]] was the principal at a school. When [[Big Convoy|Big]] suggested changing the &quot;HR&quot; for &quot;home room&quot; to &quot;TF&quot; for &quot;''Transformers''&quot; during a staff meeting, Magmatron asked what he was going to do during &quot;TF&quot; period. When the teacher said he'd talk about ''Transformers'', Magmatron noted that was he already was doing and considered firing him. {{Storylink|LG59 Blitzwing Prologue: Big-sensei#Very Strange|Very Strange}}<br /> <br /> After the Legends World was destroyed, Magmatron ended up on [[Beast (planet)|Beast]], where he became a full-fledged Beast Warrior through [[Transformers sickness]] and helped fight against [[Galvatron II]] and his [[Nemesis (BW)|Nemesis]]. {{storylink|The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 3}} When the Legends World was restored, Magmatron returned to it, and was present when [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] announced he was leaving the universe.

Each of the individual beast modes also feature a gimmick: Skysaurus's gimmick is activated by pulling on the tail to move the wings in a flapping action; Landsaurus's mouth can plug either of the Skysaurus's Wing Missiles, which are fired by pulling back on the top of the head; and for Seasaurus, pinching on the back flippers makes the front ones move in unison to simulate a swimming motion. All three components of Magmatron can combine to form his &quot;Magmasaurus&quot; mode.<br /> <br /> : In [[robot mode]], Magmatron—like most Ultra-sized figures—features multiple gimmicks and weapons. Magmatron's Magma Blade can be used in two different configurations; the first is the standard sword configuration, however, a second handle can be flipped out, allowing him to hold it as a blaster. Activating the trigger allows for any of his five missiles to be fired as his &quot;Magma Rocket&quot; attack. The lower section of Seasaurus becomes his &quot;Magma Shield&quot;, that mounts on his left arm, and features the swimming gimmick from beast mode, which can now be used as his &quot;Shield Crusher&quot; pincer. As Seasaurus's neck is made up of multiple ball joints, its head can be manuevered through the gap between his shoulder and his left wing to simulate the &quot;Magma Attack&quot; from the cartoon. Magmatron also features free-rolling wheels on his robot feet which don't serve much of a purpose, though, they can be flipped down on Landsaurus to somewhat replicate [[Transmetal]] [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s &quot;third mode&quot; if so desired. <br /> <br /> : Pictured in the box just below Magmatron's Magmasaurus mode (in the image to the right), is a recommended configuration for Seasaurus's neck joints to be positioned that enables you to have its head pegged onto his left shoulder snuggly.

For the most part, the packaging bore little resemblance to its Takara counterpart; however, it ''did'' feature a few elements in Japanese, meant to emphasize the &quot;exotic&quot; origin of the figure, namely a small version of the official Japanese ''Transformers'' logo (トランスフォーマー), the names of the toy itself, its combined beast mode and its three individual components in katakana, as well as a promotional blurb advertising the toy's features in Japanese that was lifted verbatim from the packaging of Takara's original ''Beast Wars'' release.<br /> <br /> : The instructions for Magmatron incorrectly name two of his individual beast modes: the ''Quetzalcoatlus'' is referred to as a &quot;''{{w|Pteranodon}}''&quot;, and the ''Giganotosaurus'' is referred to as a &quot;{{w|Dromaeosauridae|raptor}}&quot; (that is one ''biiiiiig'' raptor). The ''Elasmosaurus'' is referred to as a &quot;{{w|Plesiosaur}}&quot;, which is ''kinda'' correct, just not as specific. The combined beast mode is termed a &quot;Monster mode&quot;.<br /> <br /> : His [[bio]] card describes him as a Maximal, and also places him on [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]-dominated Cybertron. However, his separate [[beast mode]]s still retain their Predacon [[spark crystal]]s.<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===''Legacy''===<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> [[File:Diaclone Reboot Illustration.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|He's pretty much every vehicle in this image.]]<br /> *Magmatron's Maximal on-package bio gives his quotation as &quot;Til all is won&quot;, an obvious reference to a similar [['Til all are one|phrase]] that pops up in numerous other places in ''Transformers'' lore.<br /> * The ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of Magmatron is a &quot;virtual redeco&quot; of the revived ''[[Diaclone]]'' line's [http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/pictorial-review-of-diaclone-reboot-diabattles-v2/35531/ Dia-Battles V2] (ダイアバトルスV2) toy.

<p>Aaggggh1244567: </p> <hr /> <div>{{factions|decepticon}}<br /> {{disambigm|Tidal Wave (disambiguation)|Mirage (disambiguation)}}<br /> {{suite}}<br /> :''Tidal Wave is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy continuity family]].''<br /> <br /> [[File:Tidal wave looms ps2.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|Like a vast predatory &lt;s&gt;bird&lt;/s&gt; fish...]]<br /> '''Tidal Wave''' (sometimes '''Mirage''') is a colossal powerhouse, one of the largest Decepticons under [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]'s command. His power is backed up by a brain that doesn't exactly run at optimal speeds; he's not so much stupid as he is single-minded and easily frustrated, although [[Pokeformers|his tendency to shout his own name repeatedly as a sort of battle cry]] doesn't do much to refute his reputation as a knucklehead. In battle he is merciless, an unyielding engine of destruction.<br /> <br /> He is unquestionably loyal to Megatron and his ideals and will quickly sign up with anyone that promises power to the Decepticon cause. He may or may not have a [[Deathsaurus (G1)|soft spot for children]].&lt;ref&gt;One of the ''Super Link'' [[commercial bumper]]s features Mirage introducing himself, then telling the good little children out there that it's nice to meet them.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave's [[Mini-Con]] partner is [[Ramjet (Armada)|Ramjet]].<br /> <br /> {{quote|Tidal Wave...Tidal Wave...|Tidal Wave, too many times to properly source}}<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===Toy pack-in comics===<br /> [[File:Armada V4 Tidal Wave.jpg|left|thumb]]<br /> On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Tidal Wave rescued [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] when the [[Decepticon]] leader was being transported to prison. The two combined, and their power was too much for [[Overload (Armada)|Overload]] and [[Rollout (Armada)|Rollout]] to handle. Their battle was cut short when Ramjet pointed out the gigantic form of [[Unicron]] in the sky. {{Storylink|Armada Volume 4}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon V4 Decepticons.jpg|thumb]]<br /> As part of [[Eclipse-Team]], Mirage was assigned to patrol the exterior of an Autobot [[energon]] refinery plant while his team-mates [[Sharkticon (Energon)|Sharkticon]] and [[Slugslinger (Energon)|Slugslinger]] plundered the resources within. The plan quickly went awry and when Slugslinger called in Mirage for reinforcement, Mirage was swatted by [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]] for his troubles. The mission was a complete failure. {{Storylink|Energon Volume 3}}<br /> <br /> In another battle, Mirage, along with [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]], [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat]], and [[Shockblast]], were sicced on a weakened [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], but were blasted away by [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]]. {{storylink|Energon Volume 4}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===Cartoon continuity===<br /> ====''Armada'' cartoon====<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Doug Parker]] (English), [[Jin Yamanoi]] (Japanese)|[[Arto Nieminen]] (Finnish), [[Matti Klemm]] (German), [[Enrico Pallini]] (Italian), [[Jorge Saudinós]] (Castilian Spanish), [[Márcio Simões]] (Brazilian Portuguese), [[Armando Volcanes]] (Latin-American Spanish), [[Guy de La Berg]] (Swedish)}}<br /> <br /> [[File:ArmadaTidalShockwave.jpg|thumb|left|220px]]<br /> After leading the Decepticons to victory on the planet [[Dabola]], {{storylink|Awakening (Armada)|Awakening}} Tidal Wave was brought to [[Earth]] by the Decepticon strategist [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] in an attempt to bolster [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s forces. He passed [[Neptune]] on his way to [[Earth]], {{storylink|Detection}} before coming upon the Autobots and Decepticons locked in a beachfront battle. Thrust's claims of Tidal Wave's prowess initially conflicted with the newcomer's... lack of grace. This was exemplified when [[Hot Shot (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Hot Shot]] and [[Blurr (Armada)|Blurr]] capsized the huge warship and sent it to the bottom of the deep. However, Tidal Wave quickly recovered by transforming into his massively powerful [[robot mode]] and quickly sent the Autobots scrambling for cover. {{storylink|Awakening (Armada)|Awakening}}<br /> [[File:ArmTVTidalWave.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Crumbs, chief.]]<br /> Pounding the Autobots with firepower, Thrust called out to Tidal Wave to initiate his party piece. Tidal Wave transformed and split into three component vehicle sections (which somehow shrank in size), headed for Megatron and Powerlinxed with him, forming a combination known as ''Burning Megatron''. Megatron declared that &quot;The Power is Mine!&quot; before setting off in pursuit of Jet Optimus. Tidal Wave gave Megatron flight capability and an overwhelming amount of firepower which kept Jet Optimus at bay long enough for Megatron to slice the connection point between Optimus Prime and [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] with the Star Saber. However, Optimus Prime managed to obtain the [[Requiem Blaster (Armada)|Requiem Blaster]] and used it to injure both Tidal Wave and Megatron, forcing the Decepticons to retreat {{storylink|Desperate}} to the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] for repairs. {{storylink|Runaway}}<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave later participated in the Decepticons' operation to steal the Blaster. When the Decepticons learned the Autobots had not brought the super-weapon into the open, Megatron had Tidal Wave abandon Starscream on the battlefield and combined with him to attack the undermanned enemy headquarters. There, Megatron used the extra power Tidal Wave granted him to take the Requiem Blaster by force. {{storylink|Sacrifice}} After Starscream cracked and attacked Megatron, Tidal Wave was sent after him to Earth when the rogue Decepticon jet escaped their moon base with the Star Saber in his possession. The Autobots initially assumed both Decepticons were part of a combined attack, but eventually came to Starscream's assistance against Tidal Wave when the Decepticon shot him down. Hot Shot nailed Tidal Wave in the eye with his axle cannon but the powerful Tidal Wave recovered quickly and caused problems for Jet Optimus, who couldn't so much as scratch him. This prompted Starscream to toss the Star Saber to the Autobot leader which he used to slice off one of Tidal Wave's chest guns and forced the Decepticon to retreat again. {{storylink|Regeneration (Armada)|Regeneration}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Desperate Tidal Wave blocked.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave was present when Starscream led the Autobots into the heart of the Decepticon base to liberate the captive Mini-Cons. He handily took down Side Swipe, then moved to the chamber where the [[Hydra Cannon]] was under construction to prevent the Mini-Cons from being lost to the Autobots. On the way, he encountered [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]] and Hot Shot, the latter of whom distracted him long enough for the former to penetrate deeper into the Decepticon base.<br /> <br /> Though Hot Shot fought hard, Tidal Wave was simply too big and powerful for the young 'bot to defeat alone, so he fled to the construction room with Tidal Wave in hot pursuit. Tidal Wave arrived just in time to see the Mini-Cons flee with Perceptor. [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] then arrived and the two fought for a while before the Autobots retreated, their objectives achieved. {{storylink|Rescue}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Rescue tidal wave kicked.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4]]<br /> <br /> Megatron then sent Tidal Wave to [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] as part of a trap for Starscream and Jetfire. He beat up Starscream in the sky, but lost him in a dust storm. He encountered both the Autobots, as well as their Mini-Cons, shortly thereafter in orbit where they had located [[Firebot (Armada)|Firebot]]. Megatron and Thrust arrived to help him at this point, but all three were forced back when the three Mini-Con weapons reacted to their close proximity, and unleashed a powerful wave of energy. {{storylink|Mars (episode)|Mars}}<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave participated in the attack during which Starscream returned to the Decepticons, bringing the Star Saber and Skyboom Shield with him. Once again, he fought Hot Shot and Jet Optimus. {{storylink|Crack (episode)|Crack}} When Optimus Prime and Jetfire arrived to stop the Decepticon ship from unleashing the power of the [[Hydra Cannon]] against Earth, Tidal Wave was able to use cloaking technology to sneak up on the Autobot leader. He then proceeded to pin down Optimus, only for Jetfire to throw Starscream at him, allowing Optimus to wrestle free from his grasp. Nonetheless, thanks to Tidal Wave's and the other Decepticons' efforts, Optimus was forced to sacrifice himself to stop the super-weapon's blast from reaching the planet.{{storylink|Crisis (Armada)|Crisis}} Tidal Wave later combined with Megatron to defeat Side Swipe, {{storylink|Miracle}} and again when they found themselves on [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]]'s world. Despite being combined with his leader, Tidal Wave was not given a power boost or new colors when the Mini-Cons repaired Megatron and the others who had been severely damaged by the dark clone. {{storylink|Puppet}} He presumably took part in Galvatron's conquest of Cybertron {{storylink|Uprising (Armada)|Uprising}} and later tried, with only partial success, to prevent Hot Shot from getting close to Galvatron. {{storylink|Dash (episode)|Dash}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Cramp galvatron tidalwave.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3]]<br /> <br /> After that, Tidal Wave was assigned a squad to Decepticons and sent to clear an area of Autobots. He engaged Jetfire during this time, calling the Autobot a &quot;show-off&quot;. {{storylink|Portent}} He again combined with Megatron when the Decepticon leader decided to approach Optimus Prime for some... aggressive negotiations. Jetfire managed to keep him occupied single-handedly during this time. {{storylink|Cramp}}<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave attended the meeting during which the Autobots and Decepticons formed a temporary truce to combat the menace of [[Unicron]], notably shaking hands with Jetfire. {{storylink|Alliance}} After this, he combined with Galvatron in order to kill the traitorous Thrust, and then, with the similarly combined Optimus Prime and Jetfire, helped his commander penetrate deep into the core of Unicron, while he doubled back to keep the titan occupied. {{storylink|Union}} Though Tidal Wave participated on the final assault on Unicron, his efforts proved unnecessary; once Galvatron sacrificed himself to the dark god, there was no longer enough hatred in the universe to sustain Unicron, and he vanished from existence. The Transformers' war now at an end, Tidal Wave and his fellow Cybertronians stood united as a race, and begun rebuilding their war-torn planet. {{storylink|Mortal Combat}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====''Linkage''====<br /> At the climax of the Unicron Battles, Tidal Wave fought side by side with Overload against the malicious planet 'bot and his followers. {{storylink|Linkage Part 13}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====''Energon'' cartoon====<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Doug Parker]] (English), [[Jin Yamanoi]] (Japanese)|[[Anders Öjebo]] (Swedish), [[Gábor Forgács]] (Hungarian), [[Bruno Lähteenmäki]] (Finnish), [[Enrico Pallini]] (Italian), [[Jorge Saudinós]] (Castilian Spanish), [[Armando Volcanes]] (Latin-American Spanish)}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon-Tidal-Wave-Meets-Scorponok.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66]]<br /> After the end of the Unicron Battles, Tidal Wave loyally followed Galvatron's last request—that the Decepticons remain at peace with the Autobots. During the ten-year period that followed, Tidal Wave somewhere along the line changed not only his color palette but also his occupation—instead of being a warrior, he was now a guardian of the [[energon]] mines in the Solar System's asteroid belt.<br /> <br /> [[File:Energonep3 shock shock shock.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave's post was one of the first targets of the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] hordes. {{storylink|Cybertron City (episode)|Cybertron City}} After being attacked and abducted, {{storylink|Energon Stars}} he was brought to [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] and [[Alpha Quintesson]]'s base of operations where they convinced him to side with them by promising to revive Megatron, a deal which Tidal Wave eagerly agreed to despite clearly disliking Scorponok. He began by attacking the energon-mining facility at Desert City and managed to obtain a large amount of energon before being driven back by the Autobots. He attempted to retreive a dropped raw energon star from one of the fallen Terrorcons which resulted in him being painfully shocked, leaving perminent, lightning-like scars across his body.{{storylink|Scorpinok (episode)|Scorpinok}} At some point thereafter, he met up with Cyclonus somewhere in space and gave him a quick run-down on the situation. Cyclonus liked the idea of reviving Megatron, but was skeptical that this goal could actually be achieved and continued to Earth.<br /> <br /> After that, Tidal Wave led a force of Terrorcons to attack [[Mars City]] and steal its energon. Due to the city's weak defenses, he was able to grab all its energon and slaughter most of its guards and inhabitants before leaving.<br /> <br /> [[File:E4 Tidal Wave.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]<br /> Fresh from this success, he led an attack on [[Plains City]] alongside Scorponok where he faced off against his old allies Cyclonus and Demolishor. They were again repelled after a fierce battle against the Autobots, but this time Cyclonus came with them, having seen that Scorponok possessed [[Energon Sword|Megatron's sword]] and thus concluding that Megatron could be brought back to life with reasonable effort. {{storylink|Megatron's Sword}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon-Cyclonus-Galvatron-Corpse.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave, Cyclonus, and Scorponok returned to Unicron's body where Tidal Wave showed Megatron's corpse to Cyclonus. After Cyclonus hitting the corpse failed to resurrect it, he and Tidal Wave began to question Scorponok over whether or not it was possible to bring Megatron back, given what state he was in. They were dismissively ordered to simply keep at their Energon-gathering tasks. Tidal Wave's team then tried to raid a recently discovered Energon vein in some snow mountains, but were driven away when the Autobots warped in an [[Cybertron City (city)|entire city]] atop of it. {{Storylink|The New Cybertron City}}<br /> <br /> After this, the Autobots upgraded all their defenses around their energon sources, leading to a series of defeats for the Decepticons under Alpha Q's control. In frustration, Cyclonus kicked Megatron's corpse a few times in proxy revenge for all the times he'd mistreated them. Tidal Wave begged him not to do that and verbally defended Megatron when their leader's disembodied voice demanded that they treat him with more respect.<br /> <br /> [[File:Decepticons Megatron Resurrected.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]<br /> Seeing that Megatron's spark was causing trouble, Scorponok attempted to kill him outright but only succeeded in resurrecting him in a new body; at this, Tidal Wave was overjoyed and gleefully helped Megatron take control of Unicron's body from Alpha Q. He then followed Megatron in another attack on Plains City, during which Hot Shot lost an arm. {{storylink|Megatron Resurrected}} After this, they returned to their base where Tidal Wave was assigned to guard the recently inducted Scorponok. Scorponok wondered why Megatron didn't kill Optimus Prime in their last sortie and Tidal Wave told him to figure it out - in the event that he did, the rest of the Decepticons would start to trust him.<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon-Decepticons-Flee-Tower.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]<br /> Tidal Wave later took part in the Decepticon mission to [[Ocean City]], during which Demolishor returned to their ranks {{storylink|Megatron Raid}} for another raid on [[Moon (moon)|Earth's moon]]. {{storylink|Starscream the Mysterious Mercenary}} He also accompanied the Decepticons in their next attack on Ocean City, attacking from beneath the water but was like everyone else, repelled by the [[energon tower]]'s ''Autobot-flavored'' energon. {{storylink|Energon Tower (episode)|Energon Tower}} He was present when Megatron, for the first and only time, used the powers he gained from Unicron to restore Starscream's loyalty to the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Legend of Rodimus}}<br /> <br /> After this, he observed a force of Alpha Q's Terrorcons investigating [[Jungle City]], and reasoned that there was probably energon to be had. The Decepticons attacked and made off with as much energon as they could, during which Tidal Wave attempted to destroy the energon tower. On this occasion, most of their efforts went to waste when the Autobots exploded the city to prevent the Decepticons from getting the energon, but the 'Cons still came out ahead. {{storylink|Crisis in Jungle City}}<br /> <br /> He also took part in an attempt to capture [[Kicker Jones|Kicker]]. {{storylink|Kicker Beware!}} When this failed, Megatron got the idea that chucking some giant comet-shaped lumps of Unicron at Earth would obliterate the Autobots and assigned Tidal Wave to lead the efforts in pushing them across the gulf of space. Tidal Wave explained to Scorponok that this slow procession would scare the humans much more than having the projectiles appear near their planet without warning.<br /> <br /> However, Megatron's grand plan just gave the humans and Autobots time to prepare and so the plan failed miserably. All the Decepticons fled back to Unicron. {{storylink|Energon Grid (episode)| Energon Grid}} Following this, Megatron ordered them to find Alpha Q, who would be the next potential target for retrieving a lot of energon. Demolishor and Tidal Wave protested that this would be nigh impossible, but Megatron would have none of it. Just before trying to track him down, Tidal Wave and Starscream were responsible for seeing that Scorponok took all his energon back to Megatron and didn't try to skim any off the top for Alpha Q. {{storylink|Rodimus Friend or Foe?}}<br /> <br /> He later took part in a plan to lure out Alpha Q, using Scorponok as bait. However, it was [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]] who came to Scorponok's rescue. All the Decepticons present, Tidal Wave among them, exchanged fire with Rodimus's team and retreated when Megatron was injured. {{storylink|Go for Unicron!}} Some time after this battle, he received a message from Snow Cat that he had found energon on an icy planet and so the Decepticons set off in pursuit. He attacked the ''[[Miranda II]]'' alongside Megatron and, after making some initial gains, the two were forced back by Alpha Q's new [[Cruellock]] drones.<br /> <br /> Still, this event ended well for Tidal Wave and the Decepticons. The Autobot's used the ''Miranda II's'' [[Energon Ring]] to destroy the Terrorcons, allowing the Decepticons to take all the planet's energon. {{storylink|The Return of Demolishor}} After that, he took part in a rather half-hearted attack on the ''Miranda II'' in deep space, and was again driven off. {{storylink|A Tale of Two Heros}} After that, the Autobots under Optimus Prime decided to attack Unicron and so the Decepticons went to defend their base, Tidal Wave paying particular attention to Optimus Prime. After fighting for a while, both Unicron and the ''Miranda II'' arrived at Cybertron where both sides fell back to regroup. {{storylink|Battle Stations}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon-Shockblast-Rides-Tidal-Wave.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4]]<br /> <br /> With the arrival of Unicron, Cybertron erupted into chaos. Megatron decided to recruit the unstable and dangerous Shockblast, who was currently imprisoned by the Autobot/Decepticon coalition for having refused to lay down his arms when the two factions made peace. Knowing of Shockblast's disregard for the lives of his fellow Decepticons, Tidal Wave vehemently opposed this plan, but to no avail. {{storylink|Alpha Q: Identity}} Shockblast [[radio]]ed Megatron regarding a cache of energon big enough to revive Unicron, and thus despite his objections to trusting Shockblast, Tidal Wave was assigned to lead a team to this location.<br /> <br /> As soon as they met, Shockblast immediately took charge of the operation, sending the Decepticons to smash various towers. Tidal Wave refused to obey him and the two began squabbling with Shockblast actually using Tidal Wave as a flying surfboard from which to shoot down Autobots. Megatron ordered the Decepticons to bring Shockblast to him and, his loyalty to Megatron being greater than his hatred of Shockblast, Tidal Wave reluctantly did so. {{storylink|Shockblast: Rampage}}<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave kept up his dislike and distrust of Shockblast, even going so far as to blame him for Unicron's highly destructive pangs of hunger. {{storylink|Survival Instincts}} When Unicron had been sated, Megatron sent the surviving Decepticons to destroy Cybertron's energy grid with Shockblast in command; Tidal Wave chafed at this, but still obeyed his commander. Shockblast ended up getting in over his head and so Tidal Wave tried to rescue him, getting hit by a falling energon tower in the process. {{storylink|Each One Fights...}} After this, Megatron rebuilt him as Mirage, a much smaller and sleeker form.<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon-Mirage-1st-Appearance.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66]]<br /> <br /> Mirage's first mission in his new body was to lead a large force of Terrorcons down to Cybertron as a distraction to allow Shockblast to sneak in with the main force. The plan worked and, despite Shockblast's incompetence, Unicron was restored to functionality. {{storylink|Unicron Unleashed}} The Autobots retaliated and Mirage helped defend Unicron. {{storylink|Open Fire!}} In the aftermath he helped Starscream save Megatron from Shockblast's attempted coup and then followed Megatron into the rift in space that had opened up in the meantime. {{storylink|Ripped Up Space}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon-Mirage-Unleashed.jpeg|right|thumb|upright=1.66|I got smaller after my upgrade?]]<br /> <br /> Mirage followed Megatron when he destroyed the first of Alpha Q's planets and also when they took a large amount of energon from [[Iron Planet]] while deliberately not helping the imprisoned Shockblast. {{storylink|Protection}} He then accompanied Megatron on his secret mission to Iron Planet. There, Mirage advised Megatron not to release Shockblast; Megatron agreed, threatening to 'rewire' the traitor which inspired Shockblast to offer to capture an Autobot as proof of his loyalty. Megatron did release Shockblast at this, above Mirage's objections; Mirage's fears on this particular occasion proves groundless as Shockblast did indeed capture [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]], allowing Megatron to forcibly turn him into a Decepticon. {{storylink|Imprisoned Inferno}}<br /> <br /> When Scorponok went to harvest the energon from [[Jungle Planet (Energon)|Jungle Planet]], Mirage was among those who distracted the Autobots from this mission. {{storylink|Jungle Planet (episode)|Jungle Planet}} Mirage took part in the Decepticons' attempt to steal Jungle Planet's Energon before an energon tower was activated there. They met with failure. {{storylink|Bulkhead (episode)|Bulkhead}}<br /> <br /> Some time later, he took part in the attack on the Autobot base on Ocean Planet, approaching the base of the energon tower from underwater and destroying it. The Autobots brought in another tower to Ocean Planet, and Mirage tried once more to destroy it, but this time was met by an Autobot team waiting for him underwater. They foiled Mirage's attempt at toppling this second tower, and the Decepticons were forced to flee as the [[energon grid]] came online. {{storylink|Farewell Inferno}} ''When [[Planet Q]] was restored, Mirage was one of those sent to guard the palace in case Scorponok should get in and regain his memories, but was smashed out of the way by [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]]. As it turned out, however, they needn't have bothered. {{storylink|Return! Our Scorponok}}''<br /> <br /> He later took part in another defense of Unicron against the Autobots, and was this time defeated by the presence of [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]] and the timely arrival of Inferno, now rebuilt as Roadblock, with a huge number of energon towers. {{storylink|Omega Supreme (episode)|Omega Supreme}} He remained with Unicron and again fought to defend the chaos bringer's body from those who would destroy it, successfully doing so long enough for Megatron to reattach the Planet-Eater's head to its body. {{storylink|A Heroic Battle}}<br /> <br /> Optimus used the new powers granted to him by his combination with Omega Supreme to toss Snow Cat and Mirage around like rag dolls as he made his way towards Megatron's throne room. As soon as the pair recovered, they were hounded by a team of Autobots led by Hot Shot, leaving them unable to help Megatron gather the last bit of Energon he needed to fully awaken Unicron. Then... the voice of the Decepticon leader was heard throughout the planet, declaring Megatron was no more: Unicron was now in command of the Decepticon's body! {{storylink|The Power of Unicron}} Mirage, Snow Cat, and Demolishor struggled to escape the planet-eater's internal defenses. They failed, and ended up bound to Unicron's surface by energy-tendrils, giving them a front-row seat for Unicron/Megatron's battle with the giant-size, [[Primus]]-empowered Optimus Supreme. {{storylink|Optimus Supreme}} Fortunately for them, they were freed by a barrage of Autobot fire moments before Optimus destroyed Unicron, and captured by [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]]. {{storylink|Unicron Perishes}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Snow Cat Ballerina.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]<br /> Mirage, Snow Cat, and Demolishor were summarily put in prison where they shared a block with Six Shot. ''Oddly enough, given their history'', Mirage didn't seem to bear Six Shot any of the hatred he had for his brother. The four jailbirds were eventually released by Starscream. {{storylink|Ambition}} During the jailbreak, Mirage was separated from the others, but soon found them again. Not seeing any Autobots around, they just decided to blow up whatever was convenient. After a while, the others left him to attend to various tasks, leaving Mirage and Snow Cat to carry on creating chaos. {{storylink|Wishes}}<br /> [[File:Energon-Mirage-Galvatron!.jpg|thumb|200px]]<br /> After Six Shot collapsed the energon towers and flooded Cybertron with ''Decepticon-flavored'' energon gas, Mirage and Snow Cat rejoined the rest of the Decepticons in their commandeered control room, where they along with Demolishor were ready and willing to express their disdain for Six Shot when he activated the base defenses to fire on the ''Miranda II'' without Galvatron's express permission. {{storylink|Galvatron!}}<br /> <br /> The Autobots were soon to find a way to break through the gas shroud and return to Cybertron; Mirage took part in the battle that followed, which concluded with the Autobots escaping underground. {{storylink|Break Through}}<br /> <br /> At some point in time, both Mirage and a digital duplicate of his &quot;Tidal Wave&quot; body were among the Decepticons who hacked into an Autobot virtual training program that took the form of a tag-team fighting tournament. They lost their very first match against Hot Shot and Rodimus, but stuck around to watch Superion Maximus get thrashed by Bruticus Maximus and Constructicon Maximus later in the tournament. {{storylink|Distribution}}<br /> <br /> Mirage, Demolishor, and Snow Cat followed Rad and [[Brian Jones|Dr. Jones]] to the energon core, having been misdirected by Starscream into thinking this was the location of the Super Energon pool. Dr. Jones led Snow Cat and Demolishor off to find the actual pool, leaving Mirage to guard Rad. {{storylink|The Omega Train}} After a while, [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]] and Kicker arrived on a rescue mission. Arcee fired an [[energon star]] at [[Primus]], temporarily re-energising the deity and causing it to drive Mirage out. {{storylink|Ironhide Team}} Mirage then rejoined the Decepticons to shoot Autobots on the surface. The Decepticons turned to the business of using the energon towers to move Cybertron through space, through the rift back to Alpha Q's realm. Mirage helped battle the Autobots as the planet moved through the rift, and later tried to defend the towers against Autobot attack. Both efforts were undermined by Six Shot's pettiness and insubordination, and Cybertron was brought to a halt. {{storylink|Formidable}}<br /> <br /> Following this battle, the Decepticons retreated and Mirage, along with Demolishor and Snow Cat, was assigned to guard the unreliable Six Shot. Having apparently become stupider since his upgrade, Mirage and friends took seriously Six Shot's suggestion that they go and claim some super energon for themselves, and so they ran off and let their prisoner escape.<br /> <br /> [[File:Snow Cat and Mirage.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]<br /> Six Shot managed to trap them and they were once again rescued by Starscream. The four blasted their way into the control room, only to find Six Shot was long gone. Then, thanks to [[Sally Jones|Sally]] who had since infiltrated the Decepticons' control room, the Autobots arrived to take control of the Decepticon base. Mirage despaired at how Galvatron had left them to their own devices in a distinctly soap operatic manner. {{storylink|Galvatron Terror}} He was impressed when Galvatron became a giant after immersing himself for a second time in the super energon pool. Mirage helped his fellow Decepticons make war against the Autobots even as the now Unicron-sized Galvatron took to space, fluttering about like skirmishing insects around the colossus. {{storylink|Destructive Power}}<br /> <br /> Mirage was left unable to contribute further to the conflict when Optimus channeled Unicron's essence to grow in size and match Galvatron in stature. As the two titans crashed down on Jungle Planet, Mirage tried to step in anyways, only to be stopped by Starscream, who assured him his leader wouldn't want them to interfere even if they could. {{storylink|Spark (episode)|Spark}} When Galvatron flung himself into the energon sun to destroy Unicron's spark, ''Mirage loyally followed after him and seemingly ended his life''. {{storylink|The Sun}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Gayforgalvatron.jpg|750px|thumb|center|&lt;center&gt;''Pretty Soldier Sailor Mirage.&lt;/center&gt;]]<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===Dreamwave ''Armada'' continuity===<br /> ====''Armada'' comic====<br /> Tidal Wave was among the Decepticon troops allied with the Autobots and Mini-Cons during the battle against Unicron. He clutched his head in agony when the Chaos Bringer appeared and declared that this reality would be consumed. {{storylink|The End (Armada)|The End}}<br /> <br /> ====''Energon'' comic====<br /> Millions of years ago, Tidal Wave captured [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]] and coerced him into building [[seismic-shock warhead]]s for the Decepticons, which Megatron would use as a last resort to destroy the planet should he lose the war. Whenever Ironhide refused, an Autobot prisoner of war was executed. {{storylink|Aftershock (issue)|Aftershock}}<br /> <br /> Ten years after the defeat of Unicron, Tidal Wave felt ill-at-ease during peacetime, and was recruited by [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] into joining the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]]. Starscream came upon the group and openly mocked them during a cathartic exercise, wherein they unloaded their weaponry into the open. Tidal Wave and Scorponok sent Starscream tumbling into a ore processor to be crushed, though Tidal Wave's leg was injured in the process. The other Terrorcons brought him before their master, and Tidal Wave met with Alpha Quintesson for the first time. His benefactor healed his wounds and granted him an upgraded &quot;hyper-mode,&quot; boosting his offensive capabilities. The Terrorcons were then dispatched to Earth, in order to retrieve the energon that lay there, and revive Unicron. {{storylink|This Evil Reborn}}<br /> <br /> On Earth, the Terrorcons attacked an [[Alterenergy]] excavation/drilling operation site. Tidal Wave and Insecticon began setting up Energon siphons when the humans retaliated by sending several fighter jets their way. To Tidal Wave's chagrin, the other Terrorcons got to destroy them all while he prepped their equipment. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath}} Once that distraction had been dealt with, Scorponok made it known that he planned to gather Energon for himself, and only deliver his table scraps to Unicron. Though Tidal Wave disagreed with short-changing their master, he was too intimidated by Scorponok to speak up about it. He later alerted Scorponok to the return of Battle Ravage, who had caught the humans [[Kicker Jones|Kicker]] and [[Alexis Thi Dang|Alexis]] while on a hunt. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Two}} Scorponok took immediate interest in Kicker Jones, as his analysis of the boy indicated that he could detect Energon from afar. Tidal Wave doubted that Kicker was anything special, but Scorponok reminded him that he wasn't on his team to think. Optimus Prime and his Autobots then traveled to Earth to battle the Terrorcons. Tidal Wave and his compatriots powered themselves with pure Energon before the battle, giving them an extra edge. Though the Terrorcons easily outclassed their opponents, they stopped short of destroying them when one of their Energon siphons was destroyed; Scorponok ordered his soldiers to retreat, so they could salvage as much Energon as possible. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Three}}<br /> <br /> After coercing Kicker to find them another Energon vein, Scorponok left Tidal Wave behind to guard the siphons while he dealt with the Autobots. Hot Shot managed to get passed the other Terrorcons, and rescued Kicker alongside [[Skyblast (Energon)|Skyblast]] and [[Strongarm (Energon)|Strongarm]]. The Autobots then fled, leaving Tidal Wave with the Energon canisters... which contained impure and highly volatile Energon. The stockpile detonated, and Tidal Wave was later forcibly retrieved from Earth so that Alpha Quintesson could discipline him for his failure. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Four}} <br /> <br /> Tidal Wave attacked Ironhide and [[Cliffjumper (Energon)|Cliffjumper]] while they were overseeing the construction of a new base on Cybertron. Using Cliffjumper's life as leverage, he forced Ironhide to reactivate the seismic-shock warheads for Scorponok's scheme to use on Earth. Ironhide foiled Tidal Wave when he armed the doomsday weapon, with the cold threat of destroying Cybertron rather than allowing the Decepticons destroy Earth. Tidal Wave panicked and left through a space bridge. {{storylink|Aftershock (issue)|Aftershock}}<br /> <br /> While the other Decepticons and Terrorcons thought little of Tidal Wave, [[Alpha Quintesson]], however, saw something in him, and reformatted him into Mirage, noting as he did so that Scorponok had fallen out of [[Unicron]]'s favor. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 2}} Mirage, Slugslinger, and Sharkticon then tracked down Kicker and the Omnicons to the shores of the Black Sea and attacked, intent on once more capturing the energon-detecting boy. {{storylink|Multiplicity}} Mirage dominated the Omnicons on the battlefield, easily beating down both Skyblast and Arcee simultaneously while his acolytes took care of the other enemy 'bots. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 2}} Mirage believed his victory was assured. As he readied to finish off Strongarm, Sharkticon rose up from the nearby body of water... and went belly up. Kicker burst forth from the aquatic Decepticon, charged with incredible power from the subterranean energon well beneath them. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 3}} As Alpha Quintesson had instructed him to capture Kicker alive, Mirage was at a loss as to how he should handle this unexpected turn of events. While he hesitated, Kicker used his energon-manipulating abilities to revive the Omnicons to full strength. Now suddenly outgunned, Mirage and Slugslinger fled, leaving Sharkticon to fend for himself. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 4}}<br /> <br /> {{Unreleased energon comic}}<br /> Mirage fell in with Megatron after the Decepticon leader was resurrected, but was of the opinion that Megatron had lost his edge. He shared his thoughts on the matter with [[Shockblast]], and though the other Decepticon rebuked him, he secretly agreed with Mirage. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 2}}<br /> <br /> ===MegaWing Galvatron instructions===<br /> In [[Aurex 304.0 Epsilon|one universe]], Tidal Wave could combine with Galvatron and [[Dreadwind (RID)|Dreadwind]] and [[Smokejumper]] to form Dark MegaWing Galvatron {{storylink|The Official Transformers Collectors' Club Magazine issue 1|MegaWing Galvatron instructions}} using the [[Spark of Combination]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime}}<br /> <br /> ===''Kre-O'' online comic===<br /> [[File:Tidal_Wave_Kre-O_Character_Image.png|thumb|upright=0.5|Tidal Wave, Tidal Wave]]<br /> Tidal Wave was among the Decepticons present during Megatron's brief takeover of [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. {{storylink|Two Giant Bases!

They escaped just in time to avoid being crushed as Tidal Wave transformed into his titanic robot mode.<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave walked around the island chain in the deep waters, unloading volleys of missiles, lasers, and the occasional [[Jet Laser]] on the tiny-by-comparison Autobots. Despite his impressive size, firepower, and nigh-impenetrable armor, the Autobots managed to do enough damage to Tidal Wave's one weak point—his face—to cause a chain reaction that caused multiple explosions inside him, sending him falling face-first to the ocean floor.<br /> <br /> The Autobots were able to extract information from Tidal Wave's computer that the Decepticons' main base was located in Northern Alaska, but the information was planted there by Megatron to lead the Autobots into a trap.<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave was later seen still on Earth and has survived from his battle with the Autobots, but is now taking exercises with the survived [[Decepticlone]] army. {{storylink|Transformers (PS2)|Transformers}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===''Armada''===<br /> [[File:Armada Tidal Wave toy.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|&quot;TCS Tiger's Claw, Transform!&quot; (''Hasbro version pictured'')]]<br /> [[File:Micron Shockwave toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Alleged Decepticon Military Genius.&lt;br&gt;(''Takara version pictured'')]]<br /> *'''Tidal Wave with Ramjet''' (Giga-Con Class, [[2003]])<br /> **''Takara name'': '''Shockwave'''<br /> **''Takara ID number'': '''MD-06'''<br /> **''Takara release date'': [[July 17]], 2003<br /> **''Accessories:'' 2 missiles<br /> {{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (Takara)}}<br /> <br /> : Released in the fourth wave of ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' Giga-Cons (the first with the &quot;Unicron Battles&quot; branding), Tidal Wave is a robot made up of three different aquatic vehicles, collectively called the &quot;Dark Fleet&quot;: an aircraft carrier, a Cybertronic double-bowed battleship, and a troop-landing craft. All three can combine to form a single gigantic warship, which from there can transform to [[robot mode]] ''without'' having to separate. Each smaller craft has its own [[gimmick]]; the carrier has a working storage elevator for Tidal Wave's [[Mini-Con]] partner [[Ramjet (Armada)#Toys|Ramjet]], the battleship can launch two projectiles and has Mini-Con [[Powerlinx]]-activated swiveling cannons (also usable in robot mode), and the landing craft opens up to reveal seats for Mini-Cons to sit on. The Powerlinx-activated cannons on the battleship section are also ratcheted separately from the gimmick, allowing you to position them in any direction you want.

Something of a [[shellformer]], Mirage's transformation sequence is one of the most complex for the ''Energon'' toyline, and as a side effect, he ends up with some rather large [[Alternate mode|vehicle mode]] shell [[kibble]]. Some poor design and excessively tight knee joints means his lower legs will often detach from the upper thighs whenever one tries to bend his knees.<br /> <br /> : Speaking of poor design, the [[instructions]] show that Mirage's feet are supposed to fold all the way up inside his boat mode, however, when doing this, his forearms don't sit flush on the top due to the raised edges of his feet occupying the same space that the elbow joints need to sit in, causing collisions. This doesn't affect the tabbing of any of the parts, it just causes his forearms to stick out, which can be annoying. Seemingly, the [[Character model|model]] designers of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (cartoon)|Energon]]'' cartoon caught onto this, and opted to design his boat mode model with only his heels folded inside the boat mode, with his toes just folded up onto the back. This can be replicated on the toy and looks objectively cleaner overall.<br /> <br /> : The initial release of Mirage was one-per-case, and was part of a wave that saw limited distribution due to [[Shelfwarmer|a glut of early product on the shelves]].

Of course, the English dub was notorious for [[Sparkplug (Armada)|not]] [[High Wire (Armada)|keeping]] [[Sureshock (Armada)|names]] [[Grindor (Armada)|straight]].<br /> * While Tidal Wave's use of his own name as a battle cry is a trait shared in both versions of the ''Armada'' cartoon, his vocabulary is much more rich in the dub, mostly speaking in simple-minded short sentences. In ''Legends of the Microns'', his title is &quot;Strong-arm admiral Shockwave&quot;, with his dialog mostly consisting of repeating his name or the word &quot;Strong-arm&quot;, saying &quot;Combine&quot; when combining with Megatron, or chanting &quot;Shock, Shock, Shockwaaaaaaave&quot;, a trait he carries over into ''Super Link''. When he upgrades to Mirage (&quot;Shockfleet&quot; in Japan), his battle cry becomes &quot;ShockShockShock!&quot;<br /> * In the ''Armada'' cartoon, the big frowny expression and chin guard on Tidal Wave's toy is sometimes misinterpreted as a mouthplate. This alternate mouthplate design went on to be used for Tidal Wave's 3D model in the ''Energon'' cartoon.<br /> * The only time Tidal Wave splits into his three individual vehicle modes in the cartoon universe is during the [[stock footage]] combination with Megatron/Galvatron in ''Armada''.<br /> * Tidal Wave's [[:File:ArmadaTidalShockwave.jpg|Cybertronian mode]] is directly based on Generation 1 [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s [[alternate mode]].<br /> * An easter egg in the PlayStation 2 ''Transformers'' game is that, when he's in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], you can enter a cavity where his robot mode head is stored.

He doesn't seem to mind.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8hcHAW3YiY Gameplay video showing the Tidal Wave's head Easter egg.]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Tidal Wave is often mistaken by many [[Fandom|fans]] as being a ''really'' big guy in the ''Armada'' cartoon, when in reality, he's actually not that big at all; only standing [[:File:Scalearmada1.png|about three heads taller]] that [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s [[Super Mode]]. In fact, the size of [[#Toys|his toy]] compared to [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Armada|''Armada'' Megatron's toy]] is pretty much accurate (going by the top of Megatron's head, minus his horns). The only thing that makes him seem really big in the ''Armada'' cartoon, are the angles he is drawn on in his debut episode, &quot;[[Awakening (Armada)|Awakening]]&quot;, which is drawn in such a way that makes him seem more imposing, since the episode made him out to be a really big deal, and the &quot;warrior to turn the tide&quot;, so to speak (pun intended). Some of the subsequent episodes also kept the imposing-angled shots until he was eventually no longer the [[To sell toys|toy being advertised]], then his ''real'' [[scale]] started to show up more frequently (e.g. his appearance in &quot;[[Rescue]]&quot;). That being said, while his [[robot mode]] isn't all that big, Tidal Wave ''is'' a [[Size changing|mass-shifter]], growing to an enormous scale in his starship mode—which makes sense given the fact that his toy is made up of part of an aircraft carrier (even if that alternate mode was never shown on-screen outside of the stock footage combination sequence). Aside from [[Unicron]], Tidal Wave is ''still'' the biggest character in ''Armada'', so he is still a big dude, just not ''that'' big a dude.<br /> ** The PlayStation 2 ''Transformers'' game, on the other hand, opted to depict Tidal Wave as being closer to the actual size of his three individual alternate modes, making him an absolute behemoth.<br /> ** ''Energon''{{'}}s depiction of Tidal Wave's scale is fairly consistent throughout the show—even in his starship mode, which had actually lost its mass-shifting capabilities from ''Armada'', due to the cartoon's use of 3D animation.<br /> ** Tidal Wave and Megatron's toys in the ''Energon'' toyline are a couple of &quot;scale anomalies&quot;, as Tidal Wave is [[:File:Energon-Decepticon-scale-chart.jpg|in-scale with the other Decepticons]] in the ''Energon'' toyline (aside from the Maximus's), yet he doesn't scale well at all with Hasbro's [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Energon|Leader Class Megatron toy]], which scales perfectly with the other Decepticon toys. Instead, Tidal Wave is better scaled with the Takara [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Ultra|Ultra-sized &quot;Galvatron&quot; toy]] (Takara's ''Energon'' Megatron mold), but this Megatron figure doesn't scale with the rest of the Decepticon toys. How this works is uncertain, but it probably has something to do with the way their designs were translated into animation models (e.g. certain parts being longer or shorter compared to their toys, etc.).<br /> * In the ''Energon'' cartoon, Tidal Wave's appearance is significantly altered after he touches a raw [[Energon star]] in the episode &quot;[[Scorpinok (episode)|Scorpinok]]&quot; {{sic}}. Not only does he gain his toy-accurate &quot;lightning&quot; deco as a sort of scarring, his shoulders also notably [[:File:Decepticons Megatron Resurrected.jpg|sit in a higher position]] than before; having the tops of them sit above his head, rather than down in [[:File:Energon-Tidal-Wave-Meets-Scorponok.jpg|their natural position]] like his toy and ''Armada'' character model.

Perhaps someone tipped Furman off about this particular cartoon change?<br /> * In the Japanese version of the ''Energon'' cartoon, after Tidal Wave becomes Mirage, he becomes [[Transformer romance|very affectionate]] towards Megatron/Galvatron. The English dub dodges the issue as best it could (although that was probably due to the fact that the English writers didn't seem to know what was going on in the show at the best of times), with Mirage's love-struck remarks being replaced with simple cheering for his leader or something else entirely—but it couldn't do anything about his repeated coquettish gestures, doe-eyed expressions, or that one time he pirouetted and struck a pose while surrounded by a glowing pink heart. Maybe Tidal Wave couldn't properly articulate his love in his ''Armada'' form?<br /> <br /> ===Foreign names===<br /> ====Tidal Wave====<br /> *''Japanese:'' '''Shockwave''' (ショックウェーブ ''Shokkuwēbu'')<br /> *''Hungarian:'' '''Hullámsír''' (''Armada'', &quot;Wave Grave&quot;), '''Szökőár''' (''Energon'', &quot;Tidal Wave&quot;), '''Árhullám''' (&quot;[[Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle]]&quot;)<br /> *''Korean:'' '''Shock''' (쇼크 ''Syokeu'')<br /> *''Mandarin:'' '''Cháoxī Bō''' (潮汐波, &quot;Tidal Wave&quot;), '''Hǎixiào''' (''Armada'' dub, 海啸, &quot;Tsunami&quot;)<br /> *''Polish:'' '''Falotron''' (&quot;Wavetron&quot;), '''Falomiot''' (&quot;Wavethrower&quot;)<br /> *''Russian:'' '''Priliv''' (Прилив, &quot;Tide&quot;)<br /> *''Ukrainian:'' '''Khvylya''' (Хвиля, &quot;Wave&quot;)<br /> <br /> ====Mirage====<br /> *''Japanese:'' '''Shockfleet''' (ショックフリート ''Shokkufurīto'')<br /> *''Hungarian:'' '''Délibáb''' (&quot;Mirage&quot;)<br /> *''Polish:'' '''Miraż''' (&quot;Mirage&quot;)<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist|2}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Armada combiners]]<br /> [[Category:Armada Decepticons]]<br /> [[Category:Energon Terrorcons]]<br /> [[Category:Kre-O Decepticons]]<br /> [[Category:Kreons]]<br /> [[Category:Multi-component Transformers]]<br /> [[Category:Sea specialists]]<br /> [[Category:Unicron-related characters]]</div>

<p>Aaggggh1244567: </p> <hr /> <div>{{factions|predacon|dinobot|maximalbm}}''<br /> {{picsneeded|fictional appearances}}<br /> <br /> :''Magmatron is a [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] from the [[Beast Era]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].<br /> <br /> [[File:Magmatronbm.jpg|right|upright=1.67|thumb|Part robot, part 3 different prehistoric animals, and he can ''dance''.]]<br /> As befits a decorated Warrior-General, '''Magmatron''' (マグマトロン ''Magumatoron'') is capable of both elegant, reasoned judgment and wild, vicious action. Once he has set his sights on a goal, his drive to achieve it is unwavering and he will accept nothing less than total victory. Despite these attributes, and prodigious physical power, Magmatron's greatest advantage often lies in his charismatic leadership. Revered and admired by his soldiers, Magmatron fits the title &quot;[[Emperor of Destruction]]&quot; better than most. <br /> <br /> On the surface, Magmatron seems to have much in common with [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]. Both are schemers and planners, willing to subvert the established Predacon power structure to suit their plans and ultimate ambition for power, and possessing the strength to fight off any who challenge them. Their key difference lies in their relationships to that power structure. Megatron is at heart a rebel, working outside existing society. Magmatron, on the other hand, values his position of power and eminence in the current Predacon hierarchy, and though he schemes to someday stand at the top of that body, he is unwilling to risk his current high standings any more than he must to achieve those future goals. Also, while Megatron is more openly abusive and harsh with his troops, Magmatron operates with more military professionalism when interacting with his own soldiers. This aspect of Magmatron's personality may also be due to his more professional background, as opposed to Megatron's more rogue-ish ways.<br /> <br /> Magmatron possesses a [[mitotic spark]] which allows him to separate into three dinosaur forms called '''Landsaurus''' (ランドサウルス ''Randosaurus''), '''Seasaurus''' (シーサウルス ''Shīsaurus''), and '''Skysaurus''' (スカイサウルス ''Sukaisaurus''),&lt;ref&gt;Referred to as &quot;Landsaur&quot;, &quot;Seasaur&quot;, and &quot;Skysaur&quot; in Magmatron's ''Beast Machines Dinobots'' bio.&lt;/ref&gt; or merge them into a single monstrosity called '''Magmasaurus''' (マグマサウルス ''Magumasaurus'').<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===''Beast Wars Neo'' cartoon===<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Show Ryuzanji]] (Japanese)|[[Kwan-cheol Kim]] (Korean)}}<br /> [[File:Magmatron cartoon.jpg|left|thumb|No, the toy isn't this cool.]]<br /> Magmatron was fighting [[Big Convoy]] on a distant planet, up until he confronted him personally. Shocked by the legendary warrior's appearance, he attempted to stand against him, but was quickly disabled by Convoy's “Big Cannon”. Much later on, Magmatron and his troops were stationed on [[Gaia]], where they caught a glimpse of five new [[Maximal]] recruits touching down on the planet's surface. In response, he immediately ordered his soldiers to crush their opposition. He then rendezvoused with the other Predacons, surrounding their hostage, [[Stampy (BW)|Stampy]], who told them where the Maximals were. Going off of this information, Magmatron found his way to Big Convoy and the other recruits, mocking the legendary Maximal warrior for being a teacher rather than a lone wolf like before. Convoy's students then formulated a plan to rescue Stampy, with [[Colada]], [[Break]], and [[Longrack (BW)|Longrack]] taking on the other Predacons, and [[Heinrad (BW)|Heinrad]] freezing time for long enough to snatch the rabbit ‘bot away from Magmatron, and return back to his team unscathed. Enraged at having lost his hostage, Magmatron fired at Heinrad, who ducked, allowing the shot to instead hit Big Convoy in the chest. Demanding payback for his previous defeat, Magmatron prepared to launch another “Magma Rocket”, but was countered by Big Convoy's “Big Cannon” once more. Seeing how the battle was unfolding, [[Guiledart]] requested that [[DNAVI]] take them back to headquarters, which teleported all Predacons away from the combat. Back on his ship, Magmatron vowed to take the [[Angolmois Energy]] that rightfully belonged to the Predacons, before Big Convoy and his Maximals could. {{storylink|Big Convoy, Move Out}}<br /> <br /> Magmatron received a transmission from [[Saberback]], who was stationed on the planet [[Godbless]], and had found a capsule of Angolmois energy. Saberback gloated to him about his abilities to create illusions, but Magmatron dismissed this, and was only concerned about the recovery of the capsule, and the plundering of the planet for natural resources. Later on, when Saberback asked to be teleported back to the ship with the capsule in tow, Magmatron told him that he couldn't teleport both at once, and that he'd have to make it back on his own. When Saberback told him that the Maximals were trailing him, and would complicate the situation, Magmatron ordered Guiledart, [[Dead End (BW)|Dead End]], and [[Sling]], to assist their comrade. When the Predacons were defeated by Big Convoy, Magmatron had DNAVI teleport them off Godbless before they could be harmed any further. {{storylink|Chase the Mysterious Capsule}}<br /> <br /> Magmatron was on the ''[[Dinosaur (ship)|Dinosaur]]'' when Guiledart suggested touching down on [[Solid]] to retrieve the Angolmois capsule located there. Although Dead End had his doubts, Magmatron insisted, and had DNAVI teleport them down to the planet. {{storylink|Burning Heart Below Freezing}} <br /> <br /> When Guiledart suggested outright attacking the Maximals on [[Maderan]] so that the Predacons could search for the Angolmois there unfettered, Magmatron agreed and gave him autonomy over the mission. He later had to come to the planet personally to recapture the Maximals when Guiledart was taking too long, dressing him down for failing at a supposedly simple mission. He did, however, allow his Predacons to torture their prisoners, himself taking great glee in seeing the Maximals in pain. Stampy was furious at the treatment of his friends and tried to attack Magmatron, but the Predacon leader swatted him away. When Big Convoy arrived soon after, Magmatron ordered a tactical retreat, and had DNAVI take the Predacons back to the ''Dinosaur''. {{storylink|Hang in There, Stampy}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Bwneo6 magmatron trisaur.jpg|right|thumb|300px|The Sauroboros.]]<br /> <br /> Magmatron was at the helm of the ''Dinosaur'' when the Predacons were in orbit of [[Donovan]]. He noted that the Maximals were likely there to find the Angolmois, just like them. When his troops managed to find the capsule located on the planet, he was there to listen to the transmission between them and DNAVI, during which they were told that both them ''and'' the capsule couldn't be teleported at once. {{storylink|Mirage of the Sand}}<br /> <br /> {{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Dinosaur Combiner Magmatron}} {{storylink|Duel in the Labyrinth}} {{storylink|The Black Hole Crisis}} {{storylink|Sub-Commander Longrack}} {{storylink|Waa!

After exposure to the Angolmois Capsule that crashed on the planet, the gang became more ferocious and killed [[Big Convoy#Beast Wars Neo comic|Big]]'s friends. The gang attacked [[Lio Convoy]], who had just arrived on the planet by accident, but failed because of Big's interruption. The gang followed Lio Convoy and Big's trails to the site where the capsule fell. Big pushed the gang into the valley, where the ''Giganotosaurus'' and its minions were caught in the explosion of the Angolmois Capsule and evolved into Transformers. The ''Giganotosaurus'' was fused with a ''Quetzalcoatlus'' and an ''Elasmosaurus'', becoming Magmasaurus. The Magmasaurus transformed into Magmatron, commanding his just-evolved minions to attack Lio Convoy and Big. Lio Convoy managed to defeat the henchmen with ease, but Magmatron took him out with one blast. With the power he now possessed, Magmatron claimed they would travel to various planets to kill every living thing. {{storylink|The Beast Wars &quot;Neo&quot; Begin!!!}}<br /> <br /> ====''Beast Wars Neo'' manga====<br /> [[File:bwn-bigconvoy&amp;magmatron-manga-06-riding.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]<br /> <br /> {{charstubfiction|{{storylink|The 5 Rookies}} {{storylink|There Are 7 Capsules}} {{storylink|100000000000000000 Grains of Sandron!!}}}}<br /> <br /> Later, Magmatron again met Big, now the Maximal Big Convoy. During a fierce battle, Magmatron indicated they had a history but Big Convoy couldn't remember and was surprised by Magmatron's words. When Magmatron thought he gained the upper hand, he was surprised by multiple blasts from his foe's [[Big Cannon]]. {{storylink|Mortal Combat! Twenty Thousand Meters in the Sky}}<br /> <br /> The badly wounded Magmatron now had to separate himself into the three dinosaurs and stay in healing chambers. He ordered his henchmen to go to the planet [[Jörmungandr]] to retrieve an Angolmois Capsule. The group, however, failed and was sucked into space. The mysterious [[Unicron|Black Ball]], which had been retrieved by Big Convoy's crew, suddenly appeared in the ''[[Dinosaur (ship)|Dinosaur]]'', offering his troops, the [[Blentron]]s, to Magmatron. {{storylink|A Battle Fought Alone}}<br /> <br /> Magmatron and Big Convoy were tricked to an {{w|amphitheatre}} where the last capsule was located by the Black Ball. Magmatron commanded the Blentron to attack Big Convoy's crew. During the battle, Magmatron was attacked from behind by a Blentron. It was revealed that both Magmatron and Big Convoy were the last Angolmois Capsule, and thus the Black Ball, who was actually Unicron, desired to consume them to regain the energy. Magmatron saved his old rival, who was despairing upon regaining his memory,and convinced him to team up to fight Unicron and the Blentrons. Magmatron was eventually chewed up and spat out by Unicron. A dying Magmatron, now reduced to only a head, left his [[Magma Blade (BW)|Magma Blade]] to Big Convoy as a &quot;parting gift&quot; and asked Big Convoy to give him an honorable &quot;warrior's death&quot; with his own sword. Big Convoy conceded to the request. {{storylink|Double Cross}}<br /> <br /> Big Convoy later struck the blow that finished off Unicron's physical body with Magmatron's sword, avenging his death. {{storylink|Return to Zero}}<br /> <br /> ===''Beast Machines'' toy bio===<br /> Magmatron was a member of the [[Dinobot (BM)|Dinobot faction]], revered and reviled in equal measure. He had been on an intergalactic quest for energy capsules, but when he returned to Cybertron he found it being overrun by [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon drones!]] <br /> <br /> He served under [[T-Wrecks]], despite bearing a higher numerical rank and the nickname &quot;Emperor of Destruction.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===3H comics===<br /> Magmatron had become part of the new Dinobots, and was sent on a mission, given to them by the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]], {{Storylink|Departure}} to the planet [[Arkus]]. The mission was a trap, however, and Magmatron and his Dinobots were attacked by [[energy vampire]]s and their master known as the [[Dweller (G1)|Dweller]]. {{storylink|Betrayal}} Magmatron fought off the Dweller long enough for the Dinobots to escape. When they returned to rescue him, they found nothing but his sword. {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1}}<br /> <br /> ===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===<br /> {{BW Shell Game}}<br /> Magmatron made his way to prehistoric Earth, with the intention of raising an army out of the protoforms left behind by the Axalon's crew. He watched from afar as Optimus Primal's team launched from the planet aboard an Autobot shuttlecraft, with Megatron as their prisoner.<br /> As one of his agents, Razorbeast, activated the stasis pods remotely, another one of his lackeys, Spittor, reported that one of the protoforms had been activated as a Maximal instead of a Predacon. Abandoning his cover as a Maximal double-agent, Razorbeast fled from Magmatron and into the wild. {{storylink|Shell Game issue 1|Shell Game #1}}<br /> <br /> ===2006 IDW ''Beast Wars'' continuity===<br /> According to one account, Magmatron was the result of one of many experiments conducted by the [[Tripredacus Council]] in the advent of protoform technology, after the signing of the Pax Cybertronia. {{storylink|Dawn of the Predacus}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Magmatron speech TheGathering1.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb]]<br /> <br /> Another account has it that, during the early days of the [[Pax Cybertronia]], Magmatron endangered the fragile peace, being an indomitable general who would not accept defeat. When he was finally brought to heel by the [[Tripredacus Council]], he still chafed under the terms of the treaty and the council's apparent willingness to roll over for the Maximals. However, he accepted his change in status and maneuvered into a position on the [[Committee for State Affairs]] alongside his old enemy, [[Big Convoy]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook #2}}<br /> <br /> Frustrated by the Council's decision to bide its time, Magmatron recruited a small band of disenchanted warriors and fostered a professional relationship with the Tripredacus agent [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] to keep abreast of the situation on [[Earth]]. With this information, he formed an elegant and tightly knit plan to travel backwards in time to prehistoric Earth and reprogram all of the remaining [[protoform]] Maximals into Predacons. Keeping his plans secret until the last moment, he revealed to his forces that the Council had ordered him to pick up the task where their previous agent failed: capture the rogue [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]].<br /> <br /> [[Chronal phase|Chronically displacing]] his crew so that they could not be detected by the beast warriors who are already there, they set to work. He ordered [[Razorbeast]] to begin activating the [[stasis pod]]s while [[Spittor (BW)|Spittor]], [[Manterror]], [[Transquito]], and [[Iguanus (BW)|Iguanus]] reported on their progress. They witnessed the birth of three Predacons, but Spittor was greeted by the Maximal, [[Polar Claw]]. More Maximals were spotted, revealing Razorbeast as a spy, but the warthog escaped into the wilderness. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 1|The Gathering #1}}<br /> <br /> Once his new army was assembled, Magmatron ordered them to hunt down the Maximals. [[Drill Bit (BW)|Drill Bit]] and Spittor, however, accompanied Magmatron on his personal quest to find Razorbeast. He located the spy and quickly gained the upper hand with his three dinosaur modes, but Razorbeast pulled a fast one, and buried the Predacon leader beneath a mountainside. Magmatron soon recouped his losses by recovering the spark of the Tripredacus agent, Ravage. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 2|The Gathering #2}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Gathering3-Megatron Magmatron.jpg|right|upright=1.5|thumb|Insert &quot;Megatron not pleased a BWN character is stealing his role&quot; joke here.]]<br /> <br /> Iguanus, having located a [[blank]] protoform, assisted Magmatron with rebirthing Ravage in a new, [[Transmetal 2]] body. Magmatron ordered Ravage to hunt down and terminate Razorbeast's Maximals. Magmatron proceeded to set forth on his next mission; locating and capturing Megatron to ensure the Tripredacus Council didn't catch on to his real plans. He confronted Megatron, and the two engaged in battle. Megatron insisted that Magmatron was foolish for coming after him alone, as Ravage did, but Magmatron was not alone— Iguanus and Drill Bit ambushed Megatron and disabled him. The Predacons brought Megatron to a [[unspace|transwarp]] platform they had set up and prepared to send Megatron into the hands of the Council, but they were interrupted by the wandering [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 3|The Gathering #3}} <br /> <br /> [[File:MagmatronVGrimlock TheGathering4.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb]]<br /> <br /> Magmatron engaged Grimlock in a vicious [[beast mode]] battle, and despite the Maximal's resilence, Magmatron eventually overwhelmed him. Grimlock was enough of a distraction, however, to let Razorbeast and [[Optimus Minor]] enter the camp undetected and steal a [[chronal phase facilitator]]. When Razorbeast confronted Magmatron in the open, the Predacon general saw an opportunity to settle an old score. But with Razorbeast using the facilitator to shift out of his chronal phase, Magmatron was unable to land a single hit on his smaller opponent. Optimus Minor removed the facilitator attached to the unconscious Megatron, returning the rogue to his proper chronal state. Magmatron lunged to stop it, and ended up falling onto the transwarp platform just as it activated. Razorbeast blasted the device, causing it to malfunction and send Magmatron to parts unknown. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 4|The Gathering #4}}<br /> <br /> Razorbeast's meddling in Magmatron's transwarp shunt caused the Predacon commander to be consigned to a temporal limbo, able to traverse the whole of history but unable to affect any of the events he witnessed. Through this, he saw the eventual end of Cybertron as its inhabitants set upon each other with beastly fury while [[Shokaract]] summoned [[Unicron]] to devour the planet. Knowing that the roots of this catastrophic event were already beginning in his time, Magmatron turned to the enemy who had consigned him to this fate. Exerting what little influence he could, he stabilized the Transwarp carrier signal sent by the Maximals weeks earlier, allowing the time-lost distress call to be received by [[Lio Convoy]] and the [[Pack]]. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 1|The Ascending #1}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Magmatron Ravage TheAscending2.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb]]<br /> <br /> Magmatron's meddling effect on the timestream was noticed by Unicron, who dispatched [[Latolata|Rartorata]] to Earth to deal with the assembling combatants there. His ability to change the future was increased further, however, when during the confusion of the battle on Earth between the Maximal and Predacon forces, a playing 'possum Ravage made contact with the chronal displacement bands. Magmatron was able to use his limited influence to hold Ravage inside chronospace, where he was able to make contact with the former [[Decepticon]]. Magmatron briefed him on the apocalypse that could yet come, urging him to call a truce with the Maximals in an effort to stop the end of all things. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 2|The Ascending #2}}<br /> <br /> From his chronal prison, Magmatron watched his rival Big Convoy die at Shokaract's hands in the future, knowing that it was only a prelude to the destruction to come. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 3|The Ascending #3}} A combined group of Maximals and Predacons returned with Ravage to present-day Cybertron to battle Shokaract, arriving before Big Convoy could be killed. Ravage again briefed with Magmatron, who instructed him to send a Maximal to attach a chronal-displacement device onto Shokaract's body. This was eventually accomplished at the cost of many lives and Shokaract was brought to Magmatron within chronospace. Magmatron showed him Cybertron's future and the realization that he was a pawn of Unicron caused a distraught Shokaract to commit suicide, causing a &quot;time-lash&quot; that freed Magmatron from limbo.<br /> <br /> The restored Magmatron informed the assembled Maximals and Predacons that the threat had ended. He also reported that his old foe Razorbeast had died on Earth and respectfully declared the Maximal worthy of a momument. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 4|The Ascending #4}}<br /> <br /> ====Ask Vector Prime====<br /> [[Vector Prime]] and his [[Time Warrior (AVP)|Time Warrior]]s prevented Magmatron from falling prey to the [[X-Dimension]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/12}}<br /> <br /> ===Waspscream continuity===<br /> In [[Primax 208.06 Zeta]], Magmatron and the [[Dinobot (BM)|Dinobot]]s were among the resistance groups against [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]]'s [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] rule of Cybertron. After the defeat of the Vehicons, Magmatron formed a new High Council with [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspscream]], [[Icebird]], and [[Rodimus Primal]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/16}}<br /> <br /> ===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===<br /> [[File:BWU Magmatron.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb]]<br /> <br /> Magmatron was chief engineering specialist aboard the ''Dinosaur'', overseeing junior engineers [[Crazybolt (BW)|Crazybolt]] and [[Dead End (BW)|Dead-End]]. During the launch of an away mission to [[Metascan Omega|LGC-8803]], the ''Dinosaur'' was attacked by an [[Intruder]] craft, putting Magmatron to work maintaining the integrity of his ship.<br /> <br /> He had little time to spare when [[Killer Punch]] came by with a tale of the hallways moving on him and [[Hydra (BW)|Hydra]] possibly being killed. Still, the intelligence specialist's sensor logs were compelling, so Magmatron arranged for a localized brown-out so that Killer Punch could reach the laboratory the ship seemed dedicated to keeping from him. It was only due to Killer Punch's paranoid comms channel that Magmatron saw what happened next. The Builder political officer [[Synapse (BWU)|Synapse]] bragged about killing Hydra before having Killer Punch killed as well. An uprising had begun on Cybertron, and Synapse couldn't have the proto-former crew getting any sympathetic ideas.<br /> <br /> Magmatron rallied the remaining members of the crew on board in a plan to reach the captain's chambers and disable the ship's internal defenses. He and [[Guiledart]] made their way to the captain, only to find [[Full-Tilt (G1)|Full-Tilt]] wasn't responsible for the attacks on the crew. He had been severed from control of the ''Dinosaur'', actually the [[Titan (group)|Megamaster]] war criminal once known as [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. Additional damage done by the [[Destructon]] intruders only made the situation more perilous, forcing the chief back to engineering to keep the ship in the air long enough to seize control of it. Once Dead-End disabled Trypticon's higher consciousness, Magmatron and Full-Tilt were able to preserve the ship's integrity long enough to crash it on LGC-8803, opening the starship up into a new colony dubbed [[Dinosaur City]].<br /> <br /> Leaving Full-Tilt, first officer [[Longrack (BW)|Longrack]], and others behind on Dinosaur City, Magmatron manned a shuttle with a contingent of his crew who wished to return to Cybertron and fight in the [[Grand Uprising]]. {{storylink|Intersectionality}}<br /> <br /> Magmatron's crew remained intact as a unit when they joined the Resistance. Guiledart, Bazooka, Crazybolt and Rampage were only joined by two additional resistance fighters named [[Archadis]] and [[Sling]]. Archadis was an arrogant lout, but his prior loyalty to [[Lio Convoy]] led to him being named second-in-command of Magmatron's squad. During a mission to eliminate a traitor named [[Snapper]] in the midst of a prisoner transfer, Magmatron's unit was separated from Rampage and got into a protracted shoot-out with the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]] guards. Rampage returned, uncharacteristically asking for help. He had been drafted into the defense of Cybertron by the Oracle against the [[Antares Eight]], disguised aliens intent on exposing Cybertron to conflict with the [[Human Confederacy]]. Magmatron abandoned Lio Convoy's mission to help Rampage, even fighting alongside Snapper and the Constructicons in the process. Once the dust settled, these united Cybertronians mostly chose to remain together as the [[Ex-Bot (BWU)|Ex-Bots]], defending innocents in [[Proximax]] and beyond from the fallout of the Builders' war with the Resistance. Archadis and Sling left to return to Lio Convoy, but the others remained with Magmatron and Rampage. {{storylink|Cultural Appropriation}}<br /> <br /> Magmatron and the Ex-Bots defended Proximax from the horrors of war over the next stellar cycle. Magmatron and the former MaxCop [[Stiletto]] rose to the top as co-leaders of the motley collection of bots from different factions. They captured a renegade Predacon scientist named [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] intent on using a [[Robo-Smasher]] on the populace. The war between the Builders and the Resistance was soon overcome by the [[Vehicon Apocalypse]], as the Builders latest weapon turned against them and the planet at large. The Ex-Bots joined the fight, and advanced with various armies on the [[Grand Mal]], center of Vehicon activity. Magmatron and Guiledart found themselves fighting alongside the [[Legion of the Inferno]], army of the [[Independent Predacus States]]. When the Mal fell (thanks to Rampage), Magmatron's three forms coordinated the various forces in corralling and eliminating as many disoriented but functional Vehicons remained.<br /> <br /> In the aftermath, Magmatron's battlefield activities had impressed [[Ram Horn]], last survivor of the previous [[Tripredacus Council]]. He was offered a place on the new council, joining Ram Horn and [[Ser-Ket (BWU)|Ser-Ket]], protege of the fallen founder of the Predacons, [[Preditron]]. Magmatron represented the Independent Predacus States at the Grand Summit orchestrated by Lio Convoy, as the [[Cybertronian Parliament]] was forged to lead Cybertron into the next millennium. {{storylink|Derailment}}<br /> <br /> ===Legends World===<br /> Magmatron of the [[Legends World]] was the principal at a school. When [[Big Convoy|Big]] suggested changing the &quot;HR&quot; for &quot;home room&quot; to &quot;TF&quot; for &quot;''Transformers''&quot; during a staff meeting, Magmatron asked what he was going to do during &quot;TF&quot; period. When the teacher said he'd talk about ''Transformers'', Magmatron noted that was he already was doing and considered firing him. {{Storylink|LG59 Blitzwing Prologue: Big-sensei#Very Strange|Very Strange}}<br /> <br /> After the Legends World was destroyed, Magmatron ended up on [[Beast (planet)|Beast]], where he became a full-fledged Beast Warrior through [[Transformers sickness]] and helped fight against [[Galvatron II]] and his [[Nemesis (BW)|Nemesis]]. {{storylink|The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 3}} When the Legends World was restored, Magmatron returned to it, and was present when [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] announced he was leaving the universe.

Each of the individual beast modes also feature a gimmick: Skysaurus's gimmick is activated by pulling on the tail to move the wings in a flapping action; Landsaurus's mouth can plug either of the Skysaurus's Wing Missiles, which are fired by pulling back on the top of the head; and for Seasaurus, pinching on the back flippers makes the front ones move in unison to simulate a swimming motion. All three components of Magmatron can combine to form his &quot;Magmasaurus&quot; mode.<br /> <br /> : In [[robot mode]], Magmatron—like most Ultra-sized figures—features multiple gimmicks and weapons. Magmatron's Magma Blade can be used in two different configurations; the first is the standard sword configuration, however, a second handle can be flipped out, allowing him to hold it as a blaster. Activating the trigger allows for any of his five missiles to be fired as his &quot;Magma Rocket&quot; attack. The lower section of Seasaurus becomes his &quot;Magma Shield&quot;, that mounts on his left arm, and features the swimming gimmick from beast mode, which can now be used as his &quot;Shield Crusher&quot; pincer. As Seasaurus's neck is made up of multiple ball joints, its head can be manuevered through the gap between his shoulder and his left wing to simulate the &quot;Magma Attack&quot; from the cartoon. Magmatron also features free-rolling wheels on his robot feet which don't serve much of a purpose, though, they can be flipped down on Landsaurus to somewhat replicate [[Transmetal]] [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s &quot;third mode&quot; if so desired. <br /> <br /> : Pictured in the box just below Magmatron's Magmasaurus mode (in the image to the right), is a recommended configuration for Seasaurus's neck joints to be positioned that enables you to have its head pegged onto his left shoulder snuggly. It's not very appealing to look at from behind, but it reduces the amount of neck hanging from his back and cleans up his silhouette from the front. All of the curves of his back-[[kibble]] make everything sit nice and tight against each other too!<br /> <br /> : [[Sonokong]] released Magmatron in the [[South Korea|Korean]] ''Beast-War Neo'' toyline.

The toy itself was slightly changed from his original release, with his missiles and sword &quot;rounded off&quot; to better conform with [[For safety reasons|United States safety laws]], and overall has a less &quot;metallic&quot; sheen to his plastic. Another more prominent difference is a duller-mustard shade of yellow paint being present on the pelvis of the robot mode, whereas the original has bright yellow.<br /> <br /> : Hasbro's version of Magmatron was available [[exclusive]]ly through [[Target]] stores in the USA, in a box branded as part of the ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' toyline. For the most part, the packaging bore little resemblance to its Takara counterpart; however, it ''did'' feature a few elements in Japanese, meant to emphasize the &quot;exotic&quot; origin of the figure, namely a small version of the official Japanese ''Transformers'' logo (トランスフォーマー), the names of the toy itself, its combined beast mode and its three individual components in katakana, as well as a promotional blurb advertising the toy's features in Japanese that was lifted verbatim from the packaging of Takara's original ''Beast Wars'' release.<br /> <br /> : The instructions for Magmatron incorrectly name two of his individual beast modes: the ''Quetzalcoatlus'' is referred to as a &quot;''{{w|Pteranodon}}''&quot;, and the ''Giganotosaurus'' is referred to as a &quot;{{w|Dromaeosauridae|raptor}}&quot; (that is one ''biiiiiig'' raptor). The ''Elasmosaurus'' is referred to as a &quot;{{w|Plesiosaur}}&quot;, which is ''kinda'' correct, just not as specific. The combined beast mode is termed a &quot;Monster mode&quot;.<br /> <br /> : His [[bio]] card describes him as a Maximal, and also places him on [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]-dominated Cybertron.

<p>Aaggggh1244567: </p> <hr /> <div>{{disambig3|Legacy}}<br /> {{nav-Legacy}}<br /> '''''Transformers: Legacy''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Legacy''''')&lt;ref&gt;The official in-house title of the toyline is &quot;'''''Transformers Generations: Legacy'''''&quot;, which is often used in online product descriptions given to retailers. The name used for the line's logo, however; is just &quot;'''''Transformers: Legacy'''''&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt; is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the successor to the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.<br /> <br /> First revealed in late [[2021]] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2021]], ''Legacy'' commemorates the approaching 40th anniversary of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]] by featuring new toys of characters from across the ''Transformers'' [[multiverse]]. The toys are largely in the [[scale]] and style of those from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', including numerous 3&amp;nbsp;mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] from the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Characters from franchises known for more unique aesthetics, such as ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'' and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'', are updated with the modern ''Generations'' aesthetic to fit with the rest of the toyline, which can range from a significant redesign to the same basic model just rendered more like a modern &quot;[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]&quot; toy. The toyline also sees the return of [[combiner]]s from Hasbro for the first time since ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', starting with the [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]] in [[2022]]. <br /> <br /> The storytelling of ''Legacy'' follows characters brought together from across the [[multiverse]] as their universes collide.&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;/&gt; As such, non-&quot;Generation 1&quot; characters are (usually) given prefixes associated with their series of origin, such as &quot;[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron Universe]]&quot;. Replacing the package [[bio]]s of old is a QR code on the back of each box, or for Core Class figures, on the instructions, which leads to the character's bio on the ''Transformers'' website. Certain characters have also been given these prefixes to denote specific iterations, such as [[Impactor (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|&quot;Comic Universe&quot; Impactor]].<br /> <br /> Unlike its predecessors, ''Legacy'' was ''not'' replaced by a new line with its own distinct title for its second and third years. Instead, it was given a refresh in the form of [[subline imprint]]s titled '''''Legacy: Evolution''''' and '''''Legacy: United''''', with the existing assortments continued in terms of distribution. Similar to its predecessors, the ''Legacy'' toyline features [[package refresh]]es of several figures from previous lines, even all the way back to ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', though ''Legacy'' elects to remove the battle damage [[paint operation|paint applications]] from these toys where applicable.<br /> <br /> {{TOC|limit=3}}<br /> ==General retail==<br /> ===''Legacy''===<br /> [[File:TF-Legacy-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|300px|We did it. We put the &quot;s&quot; in Generations.]]<br /> [[File:Legacy_Logo.png|center|300px]]<br /> <br /> The first year of ''Legacy'' (theoretically) focuses on characters that can &quot;harness the power of [[Energon]]&quot;, with as many toys including an often-translucent accessory that the figure can wield in multiple ways and combine with others branded an &quot;[[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon-infused weapon]]&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;&gt;Pre-reveal of ''Legacy'' on the ''Transformers'' [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/6219021398168002 Facebook]: &quot;Celebrating an almost 40-year legacy of Transformers, universes collide as fan-favorite characters are brought together from across the multiverse, updated with Generations styling. You can harness the power of Energon, with all-new Energon-infused weapon accessories that come with figures across the line.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, not too dissimilar to the [[2003]] ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' series. In keeping with this theme, the first wave of Core Class includes weapons specifically designed to combine into a large sword, but the gimmick was quietly dropped immediately after. Moreover, toys that do not utilize clear plastic in any part of their construction do not have these &quot;energon infused&quot; weapons, but some product descriptions do claim that the weapons are such.&lt;ref&gt;Tarantula's product description says that he comes with a crossbow and an ''sic'' accessory, but Armada Starscream's product description claims that he comes with an energon sword despite both swords being casted in solid plastic.&lt;/ref&gt; Their random nature can be chalked up to them having been designed before the character roster was finalized.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Core Class====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot;

But the TakaraTomy line is markedly smaller than Hasbro's, having omitted all of the package-refresh figures and the first-year Core Class figures (the Cores were eventually picked up again with the ''Evolution'' Dinobots, ''et al.'').

What toys get &quot;____ Universe&quot; prefixes is sometimes arbitrary. The ''Diaclone''-adjacent items in the ''Generations Selects'' and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lineups are not given the &quot;Diaclone Universe&quot; label. ''Velocitron'' Blurr is based ''extensively'' on a comic-original redesign but doesn't get the &quot;Comic Universe&quot; tag. Galaxy Shuttle gets &quot;Victory Universe&quot; on his packaging, but Metalhawk and Minerva don't get &quot;[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1988 (Super-God Masterforce)|Masterforce]] Universe&quot; on theirs. ''United'' Tasmania Kid likewise gets a new &quot;Beast Wars II Universe&quot; tag, while the previously released ''Evolution'' Leo Prime and Nemesis Leo Prime were only given &quot;Beast Wars Universe&quot; tags in their online bios, despite them all originating from the ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers#Beast Wars II|Beast Wars II]]'' sub-franchise. Just roll with it.<br /> <br /> Readers might notice that the original ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise was released in 2001, not 2000. However, ''Legacy'' basically treats both ''Robots in Disguise'' and the original Japanese version ''Car Robots'' as the same thing, and ''Car Robots'' was released in 2000. A bit more oddly, 2003 is considered the anniversary year for ''Armada'', despite the toyline and cartoon launching in Hasbro markets in Summer 2002.<br /> <br /> In TakaraTomy's take on the line, everyone is established as visiting the &quot;[[Legacy World]]&quot; (レガシーワールド), alternatively &quot;Legacy Spacetime&quot; (レガシー時空) or &quot;Transformers Legacy World&quot; (トランスフォーマーレガシーワールド) in full. Their origin universe descriptions are largely similar, to the point of using Hasbro's names for the lines rather than their own (in line with their use of Hasbro's names for the characters), but there are still some notable differences:<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *Ancient Time Universe&lt;br&gt;(エンシェントタイムユニバース)&lt;!--Dia Burnout, Clampdown--&gt;<br /> *Armada Universe&lt;br&gt;(アルマダユニバース)&lt;!--Starscream--&gt;<br /> *Beast Wars World&lt;br&gt;(ビーストウォーズワールド)&lt;!--Leo Prime--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *Beast Wars Metals Universe&lt;br&gt;(ビーストウォーズメタルスユニバース)&lt;!--Silverbolt--&gt;<br /> *Comic Universe&lt;br&gt;(コミックユニバース)&lt;!--Blurr--&gt;<br /> *Cybertron Universe&lt;br&gt;(Cybertronユニバース)&lt;!--Override--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *G1 Multiverse&lt;br&gt;(G1マルチバース)&lt;!--Road Hauler--&gt;<br /> *G1 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G1ユニバース)&lt;!--Cosmos--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *G2 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G2ユニバース)&lt;!--Road Rocket, Shadowstrip--&gt;<br /> *Prime Spacetime&lt;br&gt;(プライム時空)&lt;!--Skyquake--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *RID Universe&lt;br&gt;(RIDユニバース)&lt;!--Scourge--&gt;<br /> *Victory Universe&lt;br&gt;(ビクトリーユニバース)&lt;!--Galaxy Shuttle--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> The change from &quot;Diaclone&quot; to &quot;Ancient Time Universe&quot; is because TakaraTomy has a concurrently-running ''Diaclone'' revival line entirely separate from ''Transformers'' (focusing on the original pre-''Car Robot'' aesthetic).<br /> <br /> ==Other notes==<br /> * [[Emiliano Santalucia]] was responsible for the concept art of the various &quot;energon weapons&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;Then you will actually see the concept art Emiliano Santalucia drew up even before we had the rollout of characters planned for the year. I think this will provide great insight for all yall as alot of the planning for weapon combinations was to obviously utilize our 5mm peg across all scales but this was all sold in before character selects were figured out. -[https://www.instagram.com/p/CfEo07gO0H7/ Mark Maher on Legacy Energon weapons, 2022/6/21]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Prior to the toyline's reveal in October 2021, much of its roster was found through internal online listings from retailers such as [[Target]].<br /> * Some toy listings featured &quot;Evolution&quot; as part of the toyline's name in its first year,&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/181712 BigBadToyStore] listing : &quot;Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Voyager Wave 1 Set of 2 Figures&quot; (outdated, &quot;Evolution&quot; has since been removed)&lt;/ref&gt; far before the ''Evolution'' branding was officially introduced.<br /> * Much like 2022's ''[[Studio Series]]'' lineup, Leader Class toys feature window-less packaging, which allows for expanded [[package art|artwork]]. The others largely utilize the same minimized window and plastic tray-less boxes from the previous line, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'', though with many hard-to-stack (but cool!) angles for the sides and no plastic window.<br /> ** The lack of a plastic window in the packaging has led to several drawbacks, most prominently the lack of support offered by the plastic window makes the packaging more susceptible to stress-based wear-and-tear, as well as tampering with the figures inside such as pushing Voyager Bulkhead's head into his chest cavity, making it appear as though the figure is missing his head.<br /> * Due to the polarizing reception to the Generation-1-fied redesigns of ''Prime'' characters, Hasbro announced they were trying to find a better balance between preserving the original designs for non-G1 characters whilst updating them for the current aesthetic for later toys, particularly the ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' character updates,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: For Legacy Animated stuff, would they be in the original style or more G1-ified like the TFP toys? A: The latter, however they have heard the stylization feedback about the TFP figures, so they are working on trying to find a better balance regarding G1-ification.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about Animated updates in Legacy]&lt;/ref&gt; and has not ruled out on ''[[Studio Series]]'' for more accurate redos of ''Prime'' characters.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: Could we also see more accurate versions of them and the TFP characters in Studio Series though? A: Entirely possible, they’re talking about expanding Studio Series beyond movies.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about more accurate redos of Prime characters]&lt;/ref&gt; Come ''Legacy: Evolution'', the new ''Animated'' Prowl showed off this new approach, being basically the original design, just made more boxy. Meanwhile, ''Prime'' Skyquake ended up as a pretty even blend between the ''Prime'' and [[Skyquake (G1)|original Skyquake]] visually, while the ''Armada'' characters added to the line all had sculpts that were ''incredibly'' faithful to their original iterations (minus loads of gimmicks, of course, but the visuals were there).<br /> * The original listings included a lot of entries titled &quot;[[Energon]] Monster&quot;. As per Hasbro designer Mark Maher's Instagram post, these [[Fossilizer]] / [[Weaponizer]] style Core and Deluxe toys were dropped eventually, and last minute the [[Pretenders]] were approved to fill in these empty slots.

<p>Aaggggh1244567: </p> <hr /> <div>{{disambig3|Legacy}}<br /> {{nav-Legacy}}<br /> '''''Transformers: Legacy''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Legacy''''')&lt;ref&gt;The official in-house title of the toyline is &quot;'''''Transformers Generations: Legacy'''''&quot;, which is often used in online product descriptions given to retailers. The name used for the line's logo, however; is just &quot;'''''Transformers: Legacy'''''&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt; is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the successor to the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.<br /> <br /> First revealed in late [[2021]] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2021]], ''Legacy'' commemorates the approaching 40th anniversary of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]] by featuring new toys of characters from across the ''Transformers'' [[multiverse]]. The toys are largely in the [[scale]] and style of those from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', including numerous 3&amp;nbsp;mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] from the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Characters from franchises known for more unique aesthetics, such as ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'' and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'', are updated with the modern ''Generations'' aesthetic to fit with the rest of the toyline, which can range from a significant redesign to the same basic model just rendered more like a modern &quot;[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]&quot; toy. The toyline also sees the return of [[combiner]]s from Hasbro for the first time since ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', starting with the [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]] in [[2022]]. <br /> <br /> The storytelling of ''Legacy'' follows characters brought together from across the [[multiverse]] as their universes collide.&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;/&gt; As such, non-&quot;Generation 1&quot; characters are (usually) given prefixes associated with their series of origin, such as &quot;[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron Universe]]&quot;. Replacing the package [[bio]]s of old is a QR code on the back of each box, or for Core Class figures, on the instructions, which leads to the character's bio on the ''Transformers'' website. Certain characters have also been given these prefixes to denote specific iterations, such as [[Impactor (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|&quot;Comic Universe&quot; Impactor]].<br /> <br /> Unlike its predecessors, ''Legacy'' was ''not'' replaced by a new line with its own distinct title for its second and third years. Instead, it was given a refresh in the form of [[subline imprint]]s titled '''''Legacy: Evolution''''' and '''''Legacy: United''''', with the existing assortments continued in terms of distribution. Similar to its predecessors, the ''Legacy'' toyline features [[package refresh]]es of several figures from previous lines, even all the way back to ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', though ''Legacy'' elects to remove the battle damage [[paint operation|paint applications]] from these toys where applicable.<br /> <br /> {{TOC|limit=3}}<br /> ==General retail==<br /> ===''Legacy''===<br /> [[File:TF-Legacy-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|300px|We did it. We put the &quot;s&quot; in Generations.]]<br /> [[File:Legacy_Logo.png|center|300px]]<br /> <br /> The first year of ''Legacy'' (theoretically) focuses on characters that can &quot;harness the power of [[Energon]]&quot;, with as many toys including an often-translucent accessory that the figure can wield in multiple ways and combine with others branded an &quot;[[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon-infused weapon]]&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;&gt;Pre-reveal of ''Legacy'' on the ''Transformers'' [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/6219021398168002 Facebook]: &quot;Celebrating an almost 40-year legacy of Transformers, universes collide as fan-favorite characters are brought together from across the multiverse, updated with Generations styling. You can harness the power of Energon, with all-new Energon-infused weapon accessories that come with figures across the line.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, not too dissimilar to the [[2003]] ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' series. In keeping with this theme, the first wave of Core Class includes weapons specifically designed to combine into a large sword, but the gimmick was quietly dropped immediately after. Moreover, toys that do not utilize clear plastic in any part of their construction do not have these &quot;energon infused&quot; weapons, but some product descriptions do claim that the weapons are such.&lt;ref&gt;Tarantula's product description says that he comes with a crossbow and an ''sic'' accessory, but Armada Starscream's product description claims that he comes with an energon sword despite both swords being casted in solid plastic.&lt;/ref&gt; Their random nature can be chalked up to them having been designed before the character roster was finalized.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Core Class====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot;

But the TakaraTomy line is markedly smaller than Hasbro's, having omitted all of the package-refresh figures and the first-year Core Class figures (the Cores were eventually picked up again with the ''Evolution'' Dinobots, ''et al.''). On top of that, the list of [[exclusive]]s for the line released by TakaraTomy is a more limited selection.<br /> <br /> Beginning with Wave 9 (corresponding to Hasbro's ''Evolution'' imprint), TakaraTomy's bios began making reference to the characters' arrival in &quot;[[Legacy World]]&quot;, presumably the same enigmatic location featured extensively throughout Hasbro promotional images and stock photography.<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===Comic===<br /> TakaraTomy's iteration of the ''Legacy'' franchise is accompanied by a series of (very) short comics on their website by brand veteran [[Hayato Sakamoto]], thus far uncharacteristically continuity-light for a TakaraTomy outing as befitting ''Legacy'''s grab-bag approach:<br /> {{chapters<br /> |title=''Transformers Legacy''<br /> |prev=<br /> |align=left<br /> |content='''Legacy VS500 Collection Special Comic:''' [[Velocitron Speedia 500 Part 1|1]] &lt;nowiki&gt;|&lt;/nowiki&gt;

What toys get &quot;____ Universe&quot; prefixes is sometimes arbitrary. The ''Diaclone''-adjacent items in the ''Generations Selects'' and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lineups are not given the &quot;Diaclone Universe&quot; label. ''Velocitron'' Blurr is based ''extensively'' on a comic-original redesign but doesn't get the &quot;Comic Universe&quot; tag. Galaxy Shuttle gets &quot;Victory Universe&quot; on his packaging, but Metalhawk and Minerva don't get &quot;[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1988 (Super-God Masterforce)|Masterforce]] Universe&quot; on theirs. ''United'' Tasmania Kid likewise gets a new &quot;Beast Wars II Universe&quot; tag, while the previously released ''Evolution'' Leo Prime and Nemesis Leo Prime were only given &quot;Beast Wars Universe&quot; tags in their online bios, despite them all originating from the ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers#Beast Wars II|Beast Wars II]]'' sub-franchise. Just roll with it.<br /> <br /> Readers might notice that the original ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise was released in 2001, not 2000. However, ''Legacy'' basically treats both ''Robots in Disguise'' and the original Japanese version ''Car Robots'' as the same thing, and ''Car Robots'' was released in 2000. A bit more oddly, 2003 is considered the anniversary year for ''Armada'', despite the toyline and cartoon launching in Hasbro markets in Summer 2002.<br /> <br /> In TakaraTomy's take on the line, everyone is established as visiting the &quot;[[Legacy World]]&quot; (レガシーワールド), alternatively &quot;Legacy Spacetime&quot; (レガシー時空) or &quot;Transformers Legacy World&quot; (トランスフォーマーレガシーワールド) in full. Their origin universe descriptions are largely similar, to the point of using Hasbro's names for the lines rather than their own (in line with their use of Hasbro's names for the characters), but there are still some notable differences:<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *Ancient Time Universe&lt;br&gt;(エンシェントタイムユニバース)&lt;!--Dia Burnout, Clampdown--&gt;<br /> *Armada Universe&lt;br&gt;(アルマダユニバース)&lt;!--Starscream--&gt;<br /> *Beast Wars World&lt;br&gt;(ビーストウォーズワールド)&lt;!--Leo Prime--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *Beast Wars Metals Universe&lt;br&gt;(ビーストウォーズメタルスユニバース)&lt;!--Silverbolt--&gt;<br /> *Comic Universe&lt;br&gt;(コミックユニバース)&lt;!--Blurr--&gt;<br /> *Cybertron Universe&lt;br&gt;(Cybertronユニバース)&lt;!--Override--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *G1 Multiverse&lt;br&gt;(G1マルチバース)&lt;!--Road Hauler--&gt;<br /> *G1 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G1ユニバース)&lt;!--Cosmos--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *G2 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G2ユニバース)&lt;!--Road Rocket, Shadowstrip--&gt;<br /> *Prime Spacetime&lt;br&gt;(プライム時空)&lt;!--Skyquake--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *RID Universe&lt;br&gt;(RIDユニバース)&lt;!--Scourge--&gt;<br /> *Victory Universe&lt;br&gt;(ビクトリーユニバース)&lt;!--Galaxy Shuttle--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> The change from &quot;Diaclone&quot; to &quot;Ancient Time Universe&quot; is because TakaraTomy has a concurrently-running ''Diaclone'' revival line entirely separate from ''Transformers'' (focusing on the original pre-''Car Robot'' aesthetic).<br /> <br /> ==Other notes==<br /> * [[Emiliano Santalucia]] was responsible for the concept art of the various &quot;energon weapons&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;Then you will actually see the concept art Emiliano Santalucia drew up even before we had the rollout of characters planned for the year.

The others largely utilize the same minimized window and plastic tray-less boxes from the previous line, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'', though with many hard-to-stack (but cool!) angles for the sides and no plastic window.<br /> ** The lack of a plastic window in the packaging has led to several drawbacks, most prominently the lack of support offered by the plastic window makes the packaging more susceptible to stress-based wear-and-tear, as well as tampering with the figures inside such as pushing Voyager Bulkhead's head into his chest cavity, making it appear as though the figure is missing his head.<br /> * Due to the polarizing reception to the Generation-1-fied redesigns of ''Prime'' characters, Hasbro announced they were trying to find a better balance between preserving the original designs for non-G1 characters whilst updating them for the current aesthetic for later toys, particularly the ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' character updates,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: For Legacy Animated stuff, would they be in the original style or more G1-ified like the TFP toys? A: The latter, however they have heard the stylization feedback about the TFP figures, so they are working on trying to find a better balance regarding G1-ification.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about Animated updates in Legacy]&lt;/ref&gt; and has not ruled out on ''[[Studio Series]]'' for more accurate redos of ''Prime'' characters.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: Could we also see more accurate versions of them and the TFP characters in Studio Series though? A: Entirely possible, they’re talking about expanding Studio Series beyond movies.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about more accurate redos of Prime characters]&lt;/ref&gt; Come ''Legacy: Evolution'', the new ''Animated'' Prowl showed off this new approach, being basically the original design, just made more boxy. Meanwhile, ''Prime'' Skyquake ended up as a pretty even blend between the ''Prime'' and [[Skyquake (G1)|original Skyquake]] visually, while the ''Armada'' characters added to the line all had sculpts that were ''incredibly'' faithful to their original iterations (minus loads of gimmicks, of course, but the visuals were there).<br /> * The original listings included a lot of entries titled &quot;[[Energon]] Monster&quot;. As per Hasbro designer Mark Maher's Instagram post, these [[Fossilizer]] / [[Weaponizer]] style Core and Deluxe toys were dropped eventually, and last minute the [[Pretenders]] were approved to fill in these empty slots.

<p>Aaggggh1244567: </p> <hr /> <div>{{disambig3|Legacy}}<br /> {{nav-Legacy}}<br /> '''''Transformers: Legacy''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Legacy''''')&lt;ref&gt;The official in-house title of the toyline is &quot;'''''Transformers Generations: Legacy'''''&quot;, which is often used in online product descriptions given to retailers. The name used for the line's logo, however; is just &quot;'''''Transformers: Legacy'''''&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt; is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the successor to the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.<br /> <br /> First revealed in late [[2021]] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2021]], ''Legacy'' commemorates the approaching 40th anniversary of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]] by featuring new toys of characters from across the ''Transformers'' [[multiverse]]. The toys are largely in the [[scale]] and style of those from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', including numerous 3&amp;nbsp;mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] from the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Characters from franchises known for more unique aesthetics, such as ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'' and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'', are updated with the modern ''Generations'' aesthetic to fit with the rest of the toyline, which can range from a significant redesign to the same basic model just rendered more like a modern &quot;[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]&quot; toy. The toyline also sees the return of [[combiner]]s from Hasbro for the first time since ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', starting with the [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]] in [[2022]]. <br /> <br /> The storytelling of ''Legacy'' follows characters brought together from across the [[multiverse]] as their universes collide.&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;/&gt; As such, non-&quot;Generation 1&quot; characters are (usually) given prefixes associated with their series of origin, such as &quot;[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron Universe]]&quot;. Replacing the package [[bio]]s of old is a QR code on the back of each box, or for Core Class figures, on the instructions, which leads to the character's bio on the ''Transformers'' website. Certain characters have also been given these prefixes to denote specific iterations, such as [[Impactor (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|&quot;Comic Universe&quot; Impactor]].<br /> <br /> Unlike its predecessors, ''Legacy'' was ''not'' replaced by a new line with its own distinct title for its second and third years. Instead, it was given a refresh in the form of [[subline imprint]]s titled '''''Legacy: Evolution''''' and '''''Legacy: United''''', with the existing assortments continued in terms of distribution. Similar to its predecessors, the ''Legacy'' toyline features [[package refresh]]es of several figures from previous lines, even all the way back to ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', though ''Legacy'' elects to remove the battle damage [[paint operation|paint applications]] from these toys where applicable.<br /> <br /> {{TOC|limit=3}}<br /> ==General retail==<br /> ===''Legacy''===<br /> [[File:TF-Legacy-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|300px|We did it. We put the &quot;s&quot; in Generations.]]<br /> [[File:Legacy_Logo.png|center|300px]]<br /> <br /> The first year of ''Legacy'' (theoretically) focuses on characters that can &quot;harness the power of [[Energon]]&quot;, with as many toys including an often-translucent accessory that the figure can wield in multiple ways and combine with others branded an &quot;[[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon-infused weapon]]&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;&gt;Pre-reveal of ''Legacy'' on the ''Transformers'' [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/6219021398168002 Facebook]: &quot;Celebrating an almost 40-year legacy of Transformers, universes collide as fan-favorite characters are brought together from across the multiverse, updated with Generations styling. You can harness the power of Energon, with all-new Energon-infused weapon accessories that come with figures across the line.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, not too dissimilar to the [[2003]] ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' series. In keeping with this theme, the first wave of Core Class includes weapons specifically designed to combine into a large sword, but the gimmick was quietly dropped immediately after. Moreover, toys that do not utilize clear plastic in any part of their construction do not have these &quot;energon infused&quot; weapons, but some product descriptions do claim that the weapons are such.&lt;ref&gt;Tarantula's product description says that he comes with a crossbow and an ''sic'' accessory, but Armada Starscream's product description claims that he comes with an energon sword despite both swords being casted in solid plastic.&lt;/ref&gt; Their random nature can be chalked up to them having been designed before the character roster was finalized.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Core Class====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot;

But the TakaraTomy line is markedly smaller than Hasbro's, having omitted all of the package-refresh figures and the first-year Core Class figures (the Cores were eventually picked up again with the ''Evolution'' Dinobots, ''et al.''). On top of that, the list of [[exclusive]]s for the line released by TakaraTomy is a more limited selection.<br /> <br /> Beginning with Wave 9 (corresponding to Hasbro's ''Evolution'' imprint), TakaraTomy's bios began making reference to the characters' arrival in &quot;[[Legacy World]]&quot;, presumably the same enigmatic location featured extensively throughout Hasbro promotional images and stock photography.<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===Comic===<br /> TakaraTomy's iteration of the ''Legacy'' franchise is accompanied by a series of (very) short comics on their website by brand veteran [[Hayato Sakamoto]], thus far uncharacteristically continuity-light for a TakaraTomy outing as befitting ''Legacy'''s grab-bag approach:<br /> {{chapters<br /> |title=''Transformers Legacy''<br /> |prev=<br /> |align=left<br /> |content='''Legacy VS500 Collection Special Comic:''' [[Velocitron Speedia 500 Part 1|1]] &lt;nowiki&gt;|&lt;/nowiki&gt;

What toys get &quot;____ Universe&quot; prefixes is sometimes arbitrary. The ''Diaclone''-adjacent items in the ''Generations Selects'' and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lineups are not given the &quot;Diaclone Universe&quot; label. ''Velocitron'' Blurr is based ''extensively'' on a comic-original redesign but doesn't get the &quot;Comic Universe&quot; tag. Galaxy Shuttle gets &quot;Victory Universe&quot; on his packaging, but Metalhawk and Minerva don't get &quot;[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1988 (Super-God Masterforce)|Masterforce]] Universe&quot; on theirs. ''United'' Tasmania Kid likewise gets a new &quot;Beast Wars II Universe&quot; tag, while the previously released ''Evolution'' Leo Prime and Nemesis Leo Prime were only given &quot;Beast Wars Universe&quot; tags in their online bios, despite them all originating from the ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers#Beast Wars II|Beast Wars II]]'' sub-franchise. Just roll with it.<br /> <br /> Readers might notice that the original ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise was released in 2001, not 2000. However, ''Legacy'' basically treats both ''Robots in Disguise'' and the original Japanese version ''Car Robots'' as the same thing, and ''Car Robots'' was released in 2000. A bit more oddly, 2003 is considered the anniversary year for ''Armada'', despite the toyline and cartoon launching in Hasbro markets in Summer 2002.<br /> <br /> In TakaraTomy's take on the line, everyone is established as visiting the &quot;[[Legacy World]]&quot; (レガシーワールド), alternatively &quot;Legacy Spacetime&quot; (レガシー時空) or &quot;Transformers Legacy World&quot; (トランスフォーマーレガシーワールド) in full. Their origin universe descriptions are largely similar, to the point of using Hasbro's names for the lines rather than their own (in line with their use of Hasbro's names for the characters), but there are still some notable differences:<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *Ancient Time Universe&lt;br&gt;(エンシェントタイムユニバース)&lt;!--Dia Burnout, Clampdown--&gt;<br /> *Armada Universe&lt;br&gt;(アルマダユニバース)&lt;!--Starscream--&gt;<br /> *Beast Wars World&lt;br&gt;(ビーストウォーズワールド)&lt;!--Leo Prime--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *Beast Wars Metals Universe&lt;br&gt;(ビーストウォーズメタルスユニバース)&lt;!--Silverbolt--&gt;<br /> *Comic Universe&lt;br&gt;(コミックユニバース)&lt;!--Blurr--&gt;<br /> *Cybertron Universe&lt;br&gt;(Cybertronユニバース)&lt;!--Override--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *G1 Multiverse&lt;br&gt;(G1マルチバース)&lt;!--Road Hauler--&gt;<br /> *G1 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G1ユニバース)&lt;!--Cosmos--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *G2 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G2ユニバース)&lt;!--Road Rocket, Shadowstrip--&gt;<br /> *Prime Spacetime&lt;br&gt;(プライム時空)&lt;!--Skyquake--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *RID Universe&lt;br&gt;(RIDユニバース)&lt;!--Scourge--&gt;<br /> *Victory Universe&lt;br&gt;(ビクトリーユニバース)&lt;!--Galaxy Shuttle--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> The change from &quot;Diaclone&quot; to &quot;Ancient Time Universe&quot; is because TakaraTomy has a concurrently-running ''Diaclone'' revival line entirely separate from ''Transformers'' (focusing on the original pre-''Car Robot'' aesthetic).<br /> <br /> ==Other notes==<br /> * [[Emiliano Santalucia]] was responsible for the concept art of the various &quot;energon weapons&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;Then you will actually see the concept art Emiliano Santalucia drew up even before we had the rollout of characters planned for the year. I think this will provide great insight for all yall as alot of the planning for weapon combinations was to obviously utilize our 5mm peg across all scales but this was all sold in before character selects were figured out. -[https://www.instagram.com/p/CfEo07gO0H7/ Mark Maher on Legacy Energon weapons, 2022/6/21]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Prior to the toyline's reveal in October 2021, much of its roster was found through internal online listings from retailers such as [[Target]].<br /> * Some toy listings featured &quot;Evolution&quot; as part of the toyline's name in its first year,&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/181712 BigBadToyStore] listing : &quot;Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Voyager Wave 1 Set of 2 Figures&quot; (outdated, &quot;Evolution&quot; has since been removed)&lt;/ref&gt; far before the ''Evolution'' branding was officially introduced.<br /> * Much like 2022's ''[[Studio Series]]'' lineup, Leader Class toys feature window-less packaging, which allows for expanded [[package art|artwork]]. The others largely utilize the same minimized window and plastic tray-less boxes from the previous line, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'', though with many hard-to-stack (but cool!) angles for the sides and no plastic window.<br /> ** The lack of a plastic window in the packaging has led to several drawbacks, most prominently the lack of support offered by the plastic window makes the packaging more susceptible to stress-based wear-and-tear, as well as tampering with the figures inside such as pushing Voyager Bulkhead's head into his chest cavity, making it appear as though the figure is missing his head.<br /> * Due to the polarizing reception to the Generation-1-fied redesigns of ''Prime'' characters, Hasbro announced they were trying to find a better balance between preserving the original designs for non-G1 characters whilst updating them for the current aesthetic for later toys, particularly the ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' character updates,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: For Legacy Animated stuff, would they be in the original style or more G1-ified like the TFP toys? A: The latter, however they have heard the stylization feedback about the TFP figures, so they are working on trying to find a better balance regarding G1-ification.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about Animated updates in Legacy]&lt;/ref&gt; and has not ruled out on ''[[Studio Series]]'' for more accurate redos of ''Prime'' characters.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: Could we also see more accurate versions of them and the TFP characters in Studio Series though? A: Entirely possible, they’re talking about expanding Studio Series beyond movies.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about more accurate redos of Prime characters]&lt;/ref&gt; Come ''Legacy: Evolution'', the new ''Animated'' Prowl showed off this new approach, being basically the original design, just made more boxy. Meanwhile, ''Prime'' Skyquake ended up as a pretty even blend between the ''Prime'' and [[Skyquake (G1)|original Skyquake]] visually, while the ''Armada'' characters added to the line all had sculpts that were ''incredibly'' faithful to their original iterations (minus loads of gimmicks, of course, but the visuals were there).<br /> * The original listings included a lot of entries titled &quot;[[Energon]] Monster&quot;. As per Hasbro designer Mark Maher's Instagram post, these [[Fossilizer]] / [[Weaponizer]] style Core and Deluxe toys were dropped eventually, and last minute the [[Pretenders]] were approved to fill in these empty slots.

<p>Aaggggh1244567: </p> <hr /> <div>{{disambig3|Legacy}}<br /> {{nav-Legacy}}<br /> '''''Transformers: Legacy''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Legacy''''')&lt;ref&gt;The official in-house title of the toyline is &quot;'''''Transformers Generations: Legacy'''''&quot;, which is often used in online product descriptions given to retailers. The name used for the line's logo, however; is just &quot;'''''Transformers: Legacy'''''&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt; is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the successor to the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.<br /> <br /> First revealed in late [[2021]] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2021]], ''Legacy'' commemorates the approaching 40th anniversary of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]] by featuring new toys of characters from across the ''Transformers'' [[multiverse]]. The toys are largely in the [[scale]] and style of those from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', including numerous 3&amp;nbsp;mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] from the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Characters from franchises known for more unique aesthetics, such as ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'' and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'', are updated with the modern ''Generations'' aesthetic to fit with the rest of the toyline, which can range from a significant redesign to the same basic model just rendered more like a modern &quot;[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]&quot; toy. The toyline also sees the return of [[combiner]]s from Hasbro for the first time since ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', starting with the [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]] in [[2022]]. <br /> <br /> The storytelling of ''Legacy'' follows characters brought together from across the [[multiverse]] as their universes collide.&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;/&gt; As such, non-&quot;Generation 1&quot; characters are (usually) given prefixes associated with their series of origin, such as &quot;[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron Universe]]&quot;. Replacing the package [[bio]]s of old is a QR code on the back of each box, or for Core Class figures, on the instructions, which leads to the character's bio on the ''Transformers'' website. Certain characters have also been given these prefixes to denote specific iterations, such as [[Impactor (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|&quot;Comic Universe&quot; Impactor]].<br /> <br /> Unlike its predecessors, ''Legacy'' was ''not'' replaced by a new line with its own distinct title for its second and third years. Instead, it was given a refresh in the form of [[subline imprint]]s titled '''''Legacy: Evolution''''' and '''''Legacy: United''''', with the existing assortments continued in terms of distribution. Similar to its predecessors, the ''Legacy'' toyline features [[package refresh]]es of several figures from previous lines, even all the way back to ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', though ''Legacy'' elects to remove the battle damage [[paint operation|paint applications]] from these toys where applicable.<br /> <br /> {{TOC|limit=3}}<br /> ==General retail==<br /> ===''Legacy''===<br /> [[File:TF-Legacy-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|300px|We did it. We put the &quot;s&quot; in Generations.]]<br /> [[File:Legacy_Logo.png|center|300px]]<br /> <br /> The first year of ''Legacy'' (theoretically) focuses on characters that can &quot;harness the power of [[Energon]]&quot;, with as many toys including an often-translucent accessory that the figure can wield in multiple ways and combine with others branded an &quot;[[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon-infused weapon]]&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;&gt;Pre-reveal of ''Legacy'' on the ''Transformers'' [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/6219021398168002 Facebook]: &quot;Celebrating an almost 40-year legacy of Transformers, universes collide as fan-favorite characters are brought together from across the multiverse, updated with Generations styling. You can harness the power of Energon, with all-new Energon-infused weapon accessories that come with figures across the line.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, not too dissimilar to the [[2003]] ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' series. In keeping with this theme, the first wave of Core Class includes weapons specifically designed to combine into a large sword, but the gimmick was quietly dropped immediately after. Moreover, toys that do not utilize clear plastic in any part of their construction do not have these &quot;energon infused&quot; weapons, but some product descriptions do claim that the weapons are such.&lt;ref&gt;Tarantula's product description says that he comes with a crossbow and an ''sic'' accessory, but Armada Starscream's product description claims that he comes with an energon sword despite both swords being casted in solid plastic.&lt;/ref&gt; Their random nature can be chalked up to them having been designed before the character roster was finalized.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Core Class====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot;

These characters take inspirations from both the [[Rock Lord|Rock Lords]] of the sister [[GoBots]] franchise, as well as a race of rock aliens from planet [[Daira]] who appeared in [[My Friend Sixshot!|a single episode]] of ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|Headmasters.]]''.

But the TakaraTomy line is markedly smaller than Hasbro's, having omitted all of the package-refresh figures and the first-year Core Class figures (the Cores were eventually picked up again with the ''Evolution'' Dinobots, ''et al.'').

What toys get &quot;____ Universe&quot; prefixes is sometimes arbitrary. The ''Diaclone''-adjacent items in the ''Generations Selects'' and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lineups are not given the &quot;Diaclone Universe&quot; label. ''Velocitron'' Blurr is based ''extensively'' on a comic-original redesign but doesn't get the &quot;Comic Universe&quot; tag. Galaxy Shuttle gets &quot;Victory Universe&quot; on his packaging, but Metalhawk and Minerva don't get &quot;[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1988 (Super-God Masterforce)|Masterforce]] Universe&quot; on theirs. ''United'' Tasmania Kid likewise gets a new &quot;Beast Wars II Universe&quot; tag, while the previously released ''Evolution'' Leo Prime and Nemesis Leo Prime were only given &quot;Beast Wars Universe&quot; tags in their online bios, despite them all originating from the ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers#Beast Wars II|Beast Wars II]]'' sub-franchise. Just roll with it.<br /> <br /> Readers might notice that the original ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise was released in 2001, not 2000. However, ''Legacy'' basically treats both ''Robots in Disguise'' and the original Japanese version ''Car Robots'' as the same thing, and ''Car Robots'' was released in 2000. A bit more oddly, 2003 is considered the anniversary year for ''Armada'', despite the toyline and cartoon launching in Hasbro markets in Summer 2002.<br /> <br /> In TakaraTomy's take on the line, everyone is established as visiting the &quot;[[Legacy World]]&quot; (レガシーワールド), alternatively &quot;Legacy Spacetime&quot; (レガシー時空) or &quot;Transformers Legacy World&quot; (トランスフォーマーレガシーワールド) in full. Their origin universe descriptions are largely similar, to the point of using Hasbro's names for the lines rather than their own (in line with their use of Hasbro's names for the characters), but there are still some notable differences:<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *Ancient Time Universe&lt;br&gt;(エンシェントタイムユニバース)&lt;!--Dia Burnout, Clampdown--&gt;<br /> *Armada Universe&lt;br&gt;(アルマダユニバース)&lt;!--Starscream--&gt;<br /> *Beast Wars World&lt;br&gt;(ビーストウォーズワールド)&lt;!--Leo Prime--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *Beast Wars Metals Universe&lt;br&gt;(ビーストウォーズメタルスユニバース)&lt;!--Silverbolt--&gt;<br /> *Comic Universe&lt;br&gt;(コミックユニバース)&lt;!--Blurr--&gt;<br /> *Cybertron Universe&lt;br&gt;(Cybertronユニバース)&lt;!--Override--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *G1 Multiverse&lt;br&gt;(G1マルチバース)&lt;!--Road Hauler--&gt;<br /> *G1 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G1ユニバース)&lt;!--Cosmos--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *G2 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G2ユニバース)&lt;!--Road Rocket, Shadowstrip--&gt;<br /> *Prime Spacetime&lt;br&gt;(プライム時空)&lt;!--Skyquake--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *RID Universe&lt;br&gt;(RIDユニバース)&lt;!--Scourge--&gt;<br /> *Victory Universe&lt;br&gt;(ビクトリーユニバース)&lt;!--Galaxy Shuttle--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> The change from &quot;Diaclone&quot; to &quot;Ancient Time Universe&quot; is because TakaraTomy has a concurrently-running ''Diaclone'' revival line entirely separate from ''Transformers'' (focusing on the original pre-''Car Robot'' aesthetic).<br /> <br /> ==Other notes==<br /> * [[Emiliano Santalucia]] was responsible for the concept art of the various &quot;energon weapons&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;Then you will actually see the concept art Emiliano Santalucia drew up even before we had the rollout of characters planned for the year. I think this will provide great insight for all yall as alot of the planning for weapon combinations was to obviously utilize our 5mm peg across all scales but this was all sold in before character selects were figured out. -[https://www.instagram.com/p/CfEo07gO0H7/ Mark Maher on Legacy Energon weapons, 2022/6/21]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Prior to the toyline's reveal in October 2021, much of its roster was found through internal online listings from retailers such as [[Target]].<br /> * Some toy listings featured &quot;Evolution&quot; as part of the toyline's name in its first year,&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/181712 BigBadToyStore] listing : &quot;Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Voyager Wave 1 Set of 2 Figures&quot; (outdated, &quot;Evolution&quot; has since been removed)&lt;/ref&gt; far before the ''Evolution'' branding was officially introduced.<br /> * Much like 2022's ''[[Studio Series]]'' lineup, Leader Class toys feature window-less packaging, which allows for expanded [[package art|artwork]]. The others largely utilize the same minimized window and plastic tray-less boxes from the previous line, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'', though with many hard-to-stack (but cool!) angles for the sides and no plastic window.<br /> ** The lack of a plastic window in the packaging has led to several drawbacks, most prominently the lack of support offered by the plastic window makes the packaging more susceptible to stress-based wear-and-tear, as well as tampering with the figures inside such as pushing Voyager Bulkhead's head into his chest cavity, making it appear as though the figure is missing his head.<br /> * Due to the polarizing reception to the Generation-1-fied redesigns of ''Prime'' characters, Hasbro announced they were trying to find a better balance between preserving the original designs for non-G1 characters whilst updating them for the current aesthetic for later toys, particularly the ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' character updates,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: For Legacy Animated stuff, would they be in the original style or more G1-ified like the TFP toys? A: The latter, however they have heard the stylization feedback about the TFP figures, so they are working on trying to find a better balance regarding G1-ification.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about Animated updates in Legacy]&lt;/ref&gt; and has not ruled out on ''[[Studio Series]]'' for more accurate redos of ''Prime'' characters.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: Could we also see more accurate versions of them and the TFP characters in Studio Series though? A: Entirely possible, they’re talking about expanding Studio Series beyond movies.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about more accurate redos of Prime characters]&lt;/ref&gt; Come ''Legacy: Evolution'', the new ''Animated'' Prowl showed off this new approach, being basically the original design, just made more boxy. Meanwhile, ''Prime'' Skyquake ended up as a pretty even blend between the ''Prime'' and [[Skyquake (G1)|original Skyquake]] visually, while the ''Armada'' characters added to the line all had sculpts that were ''incredibly'' faithful to their original iterations (minus loads of gimmicks, of course, but the visuals were there).<br /> * The original listings included a lot of entries titled &quot;[[Energon]] Monster&quot;. As per Hasbro designer Mark Maher's Instagram post, these [[Fossilizer]] / [[Weaponizer]] style Core and Deluxe toys were dropped eventually, and last minute the [[Pretenders]] were approved to fill in these empty slots.

<p>Aaggggh1244567: </p> <hr /> <div>{{disambig3|Legacy}}<br /> {{nav-Legacy}}<br /> '''''Transformers: Legacy''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Legacy''''')&lt;ref&gt;The official in-house title of the toyline is &quot;'''''Transformers Generations: Legacy'''''&quot;, which is often used in online product descriptions given to retailers. The name used for the line's logo, however; is just &quot;'''''Transformers: Legacy'''''&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt; is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the successor to the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.<br /> <br /> First revealed in late [[2021]] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2021]], ''Legacy'' commemorates the approaching 40th anniversary of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]] by featuring new toys of characters from across the ''Transformers'' [[multiverse]]. The toys are largely in the [[scale]] and style of those from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', including numerous 3&amp;nbsp;mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] from the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Characters from franchises known for more unique aesthetics, such as ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'' and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'', are updated with the modern ''Generations'' aesthetic to fit with the rest of the toyline, which can range from a significant redesign to the same basic model just rendered more like a modern &quot;[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]&quot; toy. The toyline also sees the return of [[combiner]]s from Hasbro for the first time since ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', starting with the [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]] in [[2022]]. <br /> <br /> The storytelling of ''Legacy'' follows characters brought together from across the [[multiverse]] as their universes collide.&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;/&gt; As such, non-&quot;Generation 1&quot; characters are (usually) given prefixes associated with their series of origin, such as &quot;[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron Universe]]&quot;. Replacing the package [[bio]]s of old is a QR code on the back of each box, or for Core Class figures, on the instructions, which leads to the character's bio on the ''Transformers'' website. Certain characters have also been given these prefixes to denote specific iterations, such as [[Impactor (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|&quot;Comic Universe&quot; Impactor]].<br /> <br /> Unlike its predecessors, ''Legacy'' was ''not'' replaced by a new line with its own distinct title for its second and third years. Instead, it was given a refresh in the form of [[subline imprint]]s titled '''''Legacy: Evolution''''' and '''''Legacy: United''''', with the existing assortments continued in terms of distribution. Similar to its predecessors, the ''Legacy'' toyline features [[package refresh]]es of several figures from previous lines, even all the way back to ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', though ''Legacy'' elects to remove the battle damage [[paint operation|paint applications]] from these toys where applicable.<br /> <br /> {{TOC|limit=3}}<br /> ==General retail==<br /> ===''Legacy''===<br /> [[File:TF-Legacy-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|300px|We did it. We put the &quot;s&quot; in Generations.]]<br /> [[File:Legacy_Logo.png|center|300px]]<br /> <br /> The first year of ''Legacy'' (theoretically) focuses on characters that can &quot;harness the power of [[Energon]]&quot;, with as many toys including an often-translucent accessory that the figure can wield in multiple ways and combine with others branded an &quot;[[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon-infused weapon]]&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;&gt;Pre-reveal of ''Legacy'' on the ''Transformers'' [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/6219021398168002 Facebook]: &quot;Celebrating an almost 40-year legacy of Transformers, universes collide as fan-favorite characters are brought together from across the multiverse, updated with Generations styling. You can harness the power of Energon, with all-new Energon-infused weapon accessories that come with figures across the line.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, not too dissimilar to the [[2003]] ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' series. In keeping with this theme, the first wave of Core Class includes weapons specifically designed to combine into a large sword, but the gimmick was quietly dropped immediately after. Moreover, toys that do not utilize clear plastic in any part of their construction do not have these &quot;energon infused&quot; weapons, but some product descriptions do claim that the weapons are such.&lt;ref&gt;Tarantula's product description says that he comes with a crossbow and an ''sic'' accessory, but Armada Starscream's product description claims that he comes with an energon sword despite both swords being casted in solid plastic.&lt;/ref&gt; Their random nature can be chalked up to them having been designed before the character roster was finalized.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Core Class====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot;

This [[subline imprint]] not only broadened the range of past ''Transformers'' franchises characters could be pulled from, it retired the Energon-infused weapons in favor of a series of integrated weapons referred to collectively as &quot;[[Evo-Fusion]].&quot; Admittedly, many of these are just the same &quot;combine and mount weapons somewhere on the figure&quot; play gimmick that has been part of the ''Generations'' line for years, but hey.<br /> <br /> Supporting this is a continuation of the &quot;[[C.O.M.B.A.T.

Following [[Menasor (G1)#Legacy|Menasor]], this subline's combiner is [[Volcanicus (POTP)#Legacy|Volcanicus]], made up of six [[Dinobot (G1)#Legacy|Dinobots]] in the smaller Core Class. ''Evolution'' also puts some more focus on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' characters to commemorate the series' 20th anniversary, although these new releases do not include any of the series' original [[Mini-Cons]]. The line also notably features the first mainline ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' toys since the show's cancellation in 2009; 2023 ''also'' marks the 15th anniversary of the [[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|''Animated'' cartoon]], but we doubt this was intentional.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Core Class====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot;

A celebration of the franchise turning 40 years old, ''United'' continued the previous year's focus on expanding the pool of characters to bring back into the toyline, including further ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' toys as well as toys from franchises such as ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Rescue Bots]]'' and ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers|Beast Wars II]]''.<br /> <br /> This year also introduced another iteration of the mix-and-match &quot;Weaponizer&quot; gimmick in the form of &quot;Armorizer&quot; toys, rock-like beings who can turn into vehicles, weapons and armor for other toys. These characters take inspirations from both the [[Rock Lord|Rock Lords]] of the sister [[GoBots]] franchise, as well as a race of rock aliens from planet [[Daira]] who appeared in [[My Friend Sixshot!|a single episode]] of ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|Headmasters.]]''.

On top of that, the list of [[exclusive]]s for the line released by TakaraTomy is a more limited selection.<br /> <br /> Beginning with Wave 9 (corresponding to Hasbro's ''Evolution'' imprint), TakaraTomy's bios began making reference to the characters' arrival in &quot;[[Legacy World]]&quot;, presumably the same enigmatic location featured extensively throughout Hasbro promotional images and stock photography.<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===Comic===<br /> TakaraTomy's iteration of the ''Legacy'' franchise is accompanied by a series of (very) short comics on their website by brand veteran [[Hayato Sakamoto]], thus far uncharacteristically continuity-light for a TakaraTomy outing as befitting ''Legacy'''s grab-bag approach:<br /> {{chapters<br /> |title=''Transformers Legacy''<br /> |prev=<br /> |align=left<br /> |content='''Legacy VS500 Collection Special Comic:''' [[Velocitron Speedia 500 Part 1|1]] &lt;nowiki&gt;|&lt;/nowiki&gt;

What toys get &quot;____ Universe&quot; prefixes is sometimes arbitrary. The ''Diaclone''-adjacent items in the ''Generations Selects'' and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lineups are not given the &quot;Diaclone Universe&quot; label. ''Velocitron'' Blurr is based ''extensively'' on a comic-original redesign but doesn't get the &quot;Comic Universe&quot; tag. Galaxy Shuttle gets &quot;Victory Universe&quot; on his packaging, but Metalhawk and Minerva don't get &quot;[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1988 (Super-God Masterforce)|Masterforce]] Universe&quot; on theirs. ''United'' Tasmania Kid likewise gets a new &quot;Beast Wars II Universe&quot; tag, while the previously released ''Evolution'' Leo Prime and Nemesis Leo Prime were only given &quot;Beast Wars Universe&quot; tags in their online bios, despite them all originating from the ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers#Beast Wars II|Beast Wars II]]'' sub-franchise. Just roll with it.<br /> <br /> Readers might notice that the original ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise was released in 2001, not 2000. However, ''Legacy'' basically treats both ''Robots in Disguise'' and the original Japanese version ''Car Robots'' as the same thing, and ''Car Robots'' was released in 2000. A bit more oddly, 2003 is considered the anniversary year for ''Armada'', despite the toyline and cartoon launching in Hasbro markets in Summer 2002.<br /> <br /> In TakaraTomy's take on the line, everyone is established as visiting the &quot;[[Legacy World]]&quot; (レガシーワールド), alternatively &quot;Legacy Spacetime&quot; (レガシー時空) or &quot;Transformers Legacy World&quot; (トランスフォーマーレガシーワールド) in full. Their origin universe descriptions are largely similar, to the point of using Hasbro's names for the lines rather than their own (in line with their use of Hasbro's names for the characters), but there are still some notable differences:<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *Ancient Time Universe&lt;br&gt;(エンシェントタイムユニバース)&lt;!--Dia Burnout, Clampdown--&gt;<br /> *Armada Universe&lt;br&gt;(アルマダユニバース)&lt;!--Starscream--&gt;<br /> *Beast Wars World&lt;br&gt;(ビーストウォーズワールド)&lt;!--Leo Prime--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *Beast Wars Metals Universe&lt;br&gt;(ビーストウォーズメタルスユニバース)&lt;!--Silverbolt--&gt;<br /> *Comic Universe&lt;br&gt;(コミックユニバース)&lt;!--Blurr--&gt;<br /> *Cybertron Universe&lt;br&gt;(Cybertronユニバース)&lt;!--Override--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *G1 Multiverse&lt;br&gt;(G1マルチバース)&lt;!--Road Hauler--&gt;<br /> *G1 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G1ユニバース)&lt;!--Cosmos--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *G2 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G2ユニバース)&lt;!--Road Rocket, Shadowstrip--&gt;<br /> *Prime Spacetime&lt;br&gt;(プライム時空)&lt;!--Skyquake--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *RID Universe&lt;br&gt;(RIDユニバース)&lt;!--Scourge--&gt;<br /> *Victory Universe&lt;br&gt;(ビクトリーユニバース)&lt;!--Galaxy Shuttle--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> The change from &quot;Diaclone&quot; to &quot;Ancient Time Universe&quot; is because TakaraTomy has a concurrently-running ''Diaclone'' revival line entirely separate from ''Transformers'' (focusing on the original pre-''Car Robot'' aesthetic).<br /> <br /> ==Other notes==<br /> * [[Emiliano Santalucia]] was responsible for the concept art of the various &quot;energon weapons&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;Then you will actually see the concept art Emiliano Santalucia drew up even before we had the rollout of characters planned for the year. I think this will provide great insight for all yall as alot of the planning for weapon combinations was to obviously utilize our 5mm peg across all scales but this was all sold in before character selects were figured out. -[https://www.instagram.com/p/CfEo07gO0H7/ Mark Maher on Legacy Energon weapons, 2022/6/21]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Prior to the toyline's reveal in October 2021, much of its roster was found through internal online listings from retailers such as [[Target]].<br /> * Some toy listings featured &quot;Evolution&quot; as part of the toyline's name in its first year,&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/181712 BigBadToyStore] listing : &quot;Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Voyager Wave 1 Set of 2 Figures&quot; (outdated, &quot;Evolution&quot; has since been removed)&lt;/ref&gt; far before the ''Evolution'' branding was officially introduced.<br /> * Much like 2022's ''[[Studio Series]]'' lineup, Leader Class toys feature window-less packaging, which allows for expanded [[package art|artwork]]. The others largely utilize the same minimized window and plastic tray-less boxes from the previous line, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'', though with many hard-to-stack (but cool!) angles for the sides and no plastic window.<br /> ** The lack of a plastic window in the packaging has led to several drawbacks, most prominently the lack of support offered by the plastic window makes the packaging more susceptible to stress-based wear-and-tear, as well as tampering with the figures inside such as pushing Voyager Bulkhead's head into his chest cavity, making it appear as though the figure is missing his head.<br /> * Due to the polarizing reception to the Generation-1-fied redesigns of ''Prime'' characters, Hasbro announced they were trying to find a better balance between preserving the original designs for non-G1 characters whilst updating them for the current aesthetic for later toys, particularly the ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' character updates,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: For Legacy Animated stuff, would they be in the original style or more G1-ified like the TFP toys? A: The latter, however they have heard the stylization feedback about the TFP figures, so they are working on trying to find a better balance regarding G1-ification.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about Animated updates in Legacy]&lt;/ref&gt; and has not ruled out on ''[[Studio Series]]'' for more accurate redos of ''Prime'' characters.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: Could we also see more accurate versions of them and the TFP characters in Studio Series though? A: Entirely possible, they’re talking about expanding Studio Series beyond movies.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about more accurate redos of Prime characters]&lt;/ref&gt; Come ''Legacy: Evolution'', the new ''Animated'' Prowl showed off this new approach, being basically the original design, just made more boxy. Meanwhile, ''Prime'' Skyquake ended up as a pretty even blend between the ''Prime'' and [[Skyquake (G1)|original Skyquake]] visually, while the ''Armada'' characters added to the line all had sculpts that were ''incredibly'' faithful to their original iterations (minus loads of gimmicks, of course, but the visuals were there).<br /> * The original listings included a lot of entries titled &quot;[[Energon]] Monster&quot;. As per Hasbro designer Mark Maher's Instagram post, these [[Fossilizer]] / [[Weaponizer]] style Core and Deluxe toys were dropped eventually, and last minute the [[Pretenders]] were approved to fill in these empty slots.

<p>Aaggggh1244567: </p> <hr /> <div>{{disambig3|Legacy}}<br /> {{nav-Legacy}}<br /> '''''Transformers: Legacy''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Legacy''''')&lt;ref&gt;The official in-house title of the toyline is &quot;'''''Transformers Generations: Legacy'''''&quot;, which is often used in online product descriptions given to retailers. The name used for the line's logo, however; is just &quot;'''''Transformers: Legacy'''''&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt; is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the successor to the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.<br /> <br /> First revealed in late [[2021]] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2021]], ''Legacy'' commemorates the approaching 40th anniversary of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]] by featuring new toys of characters from across the ''Transformers'' [[multiverse]]. The toys are largely in the [[scale]] and style of those from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', including numerous 3&amp;nbsp;mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] from the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Characters from franchises known for more unique aesthetics, such as ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'' and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'', are updated with the modern ''Generations'' aesthetic to fit with the rest of the toyline, which can range from a significant redesign to the same basic model just rendered more like a modern &quot;[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]&quot; toy. The toyline also sees the return of [[combiner]]s from Hasbro for the first time since ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', starting with the [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]] in [[2022]]. <br /> <br /> The storytelling of ''Legacy'' follows characters brought together from across the [[multiverse]] as their universes collide.&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;/&gt; As such, non-&quot;Generation 1&quot; characters are (usually) given prefixes associated with their series of origin, such as &quot;[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron Universe]]&quot;. Replacing the package [[bio]]s of old is a QR code on the back of each box, or for Core Class figures, on the instructions, which leads to the character's bio on the ''Transformers'' website. Certain characters have also been given these prefixes to denote specific iterations, such as [[Impactor (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|&quot;Comic Universe&quot; Impactor]].<br /> <br /> Unlike its predecessors, ''Legacy'' was ''not'' replaced by a new line with its own distinct title for its second and third years. Instead, it was given a refresh in the form of [[subline imprint]]s titled '''''Legacy: Evolution''''' and '''''Legacy: United''''', with the existing assortments continued in terms of distribution. Similar to its predecessors, the ''Legacy'' toyline features [[package refresh]]es of several figures from previous lines, even all the way back to ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', though ''Legacy'' elects to remove the battle damage [[paint operation|paint applications]] from these toys where applicable.<br /> <br /> {{TOC|limit=3}}<br /> ==General retail==<br /> ===''Legacy''===<br /> [[File:TF-Legacy-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|300px|We did it. We put the &quot;s&quot; in Generations.]]<br /> [[File:Legacy_Logo.png|center|300px]]<br /> <br /> The first year of ''Legacy'' (theoretically) focuses on characters that can &quot;harness the power of [[Energon]]&quot;, with as many toys including an often-translucent accessory that the figure can wield in multiple ways and combine with others branded an &quot;[[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon-infused weapon]]&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;&gt;Pre-reveal of ''Legacy'' on the ''Transformers'' [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/6219021398168002 Facebook]: &quot;Celebrating an almost 40-year legacy of Transformers, universes collide as fan-favorite characters are brought together from across the multiverse, updated with Generations styling. You can harness the power of Energon, with all-new Energon-infused weapon accessories that come with figures across the line.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, not too dissimilar to the [[2003]] ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' series. In keeping with this theme, the first wave of Core Class includes weapons specifically designed to combine into a large sword, but the gimmick was quietly dropped immediately after. Moreover, toys that do not utilize clear plastic in any part of their construction do not have these &quot;energon infused&quot; weapons, but some product descriptions do claim that the weapons are such.&lt;ref&gt;Tarantula's product description says that he comes with a crossbow and an ''sic'' accessory, but Armada Starscream's product description claims that he comes with an energon sword despite both swords being casted in solid plastic.&lt;/ref&gt; Their random nature can be chalked up to them having been designed before the character roster was finalized.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Core Class====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot;

This [[subline imprint]] not only broadened the range of past ''Transformers'' franchises characters could be pulled from, it retired the Energon-infused weapons in favor of a series of integrated weapons referred to collectively as &quot;[[Evo-Fusion]].&quot; Admittedly, many of these are just the same &quot;combine and mount weapons somewhere on the figure&quot; play gimmick that has been part of the ''Generations'' line for years, but hey.<br /> <br /> Supporting this is a continuation of the &quot;[[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|Weaponizer]]&quot; concept with a new tribe of modular [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] that can mix and match body parts and accessories to create your own robot and vehicle modes, or armor and weaponry for other bots. Following [[Menasor (G1)#Legacy|Menasor]], this subline's combiner is [[Volcanicus (POTP)#Legacy|Volcanicus]], made up of six [[Dinobot (G1)#Legacy|Dinobots]] in the smaller Core Class. ''Evolution'' also puts some more focus on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' characters to commemorate the series' 20th anniversary, although these new releases do not include any of the series' original [[Mini-Cons]]. The line also notably features the first mainline ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' toys since the show's cancellation in 2009; 2023 ''also'' marks the 15th anniversary of the [[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|''Animated'' cartoon]], but we doubt this was intentional.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Core Class====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot;

A celebration of the franchise turning 40 years old, ''United'' continued the previous year's focus on expanding the pool of characters to bring back into the toyline, including further ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' toys as well as toys from franchises such as ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Rescue Bots]]'' and ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers|Beast Wars II]]''.<br /> <br /> This year also introduced another iteration of the mix-and-match &quot;Weaponizer&quot; gimmick in the form of &quot;Armorizer&quot; toys, rock-like beings who can turn into vehicles, weapons and armor for other toys. These characters take inspirations from both the [[Rock Lord|Rock Lords]] of the sister [[GoBots]] franchise, as well as a race of rock aliens from planet [[Daira]] who appeared in [[My Friend Sixshot!|a single episode]] of ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|Headmasters.]]''. The name of their home universe even shouts out the molten realm within the core of the Earth in the ''Inhumanoids'' cartoon.

What toys get &quot;____ Universe&quot; prefixes is sometimes arbitrary. The ''Diaclone''-adjacent items in the ''Generations Selects'' and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lineups are not given the &quot;Diaclone Universe&quot; label. ''Velocitron'' Blurr is based ''extensively'' on a comic-original redesign but doesn't get the &quot;Comic Universe&quot; tag. Galaxy Shuttle gets &quot;Victory Universe&quot; on his packaging, but Metalhawk and Minerva don't get &quot;[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1988 (Super-God Masterforce)|Masterforce]] Universe&quot; on theirs. ''United'' Tasmania Kid likewise gets a new &quot;Beast Wars II Universe&quot; tag, while the previously released ''Evolution'' Leo Prime and Nemesis Leo Prime were only given &quot;Beast Wars Universe&quot; tags in their online bios, despite them all originating from the ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers#Beast Wars II|Beast Wars II]]'' sub-franchise. Just roll with it.<br /> <br /> Readers might notice that the original ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise was released in 2001, not 2000. However, ''Legacy'' basically treats both ''Robots in Disguise'' and the original Japanese version ''Car Robots'' as the same thing, and ''Car Robots'' was released in 2000. A bit more oddly, 2003 is considered the anniversary year for ''Armada'', despite the toyline and cartoon launching in Hasbro markets in Summer 2002.<br /> <br /> In TakaraTomy's take on the line, everyone is established as visiting the &quot;[[Legacy World]]&quot; (レガシーワールド), alternatively &quot;Legacy Spacetime&quot; (レガシー時空) or &quot;Transformers Legacy World&quot; (トランスフォーマーレガシーワールド) in full. Their origin universe descriptions are largely similar, to the point of using Hasbro's names for the lines rather than their own (in line with their use of Hasbro's names for the characters), but there are still some notable differences:<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *Ancient Time Universe&lt;br&gt;(エンシェントタイムユニバース)&lt;!--Dia Burnout, Clampdown--&gt;<br /> *Armada Universe&lt;br&gt;(アルマダユニバース)&lt;!--Starscream--&gt;<br /> *Beast Wars World&lt;br&gt;(ビーストウォーズワールド)&lt;!--Leo Prime--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *Beast Wars Metals Universe&lt;br&gt;(ビーストウォーズメタルスユニバース)&lt;!--Silverbolt--&gt;<br /> *Comic Universe&lt;br&gt;(コミックユニバース)&lt;!--Blurr--&gt;<br /> *Cybertron Universe&lt;br&gt;(Cybertronユニバース)&lt;!--Override--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *G1 Multiverse&lt;br&gt;(G1マルチバース)&lt;!--Road Hauler--&gt;<br /> *G1 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G1ユニバース)&lt;!--Cosmos--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *G2 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G2ユニバース)&lt;!--Road Rocket, Shadowstrip--&gt;<br /> *Prime Spacetime&lt;br&gt;(プライム時空)&lt;!--Skyquake--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *RID Universe&lt;br&gt;(RIDユニバース)&lt;!--Scourge--&gt;<br /> *Victory Universe&lt;br&gt;(ビクトリーユニバース)&lt;!--Galaxy Shuttle--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> The change from &quot;Diaclone&quot; to &quot;Ancient Time Universe&quot; is because TakaraTomy has a concurrently-running ''Diaclone'' revival line entirely separate from ''Transformers'' (focusing on the original pre-''Car Robot'' aesthetic).<br /> <br /> ==Other notes==<br /> * [[Emiliano Santalucia]] was responsible for the concept art of the various &quot;energon weapons&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;Then you will actually see the concept art Emiliano Santalucia drew up even before we had the rollout of characters planned for the year. I think this will provide great insight for all yall as alot of the planning for weapon combinations was to obviously utilize our 5mm peg across all scales but this was all sold in before character selects were figured out. -[https://www.instagram.com/p/CfEo07gO0H7/ Mark Maher on Legacy Energon weapons, 2022/6/21]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Prior to the toyline's reveal in October 2021, much of its roster was found through internal online listings from retailers such as [[Target]].<br /> * Some toy listings featured &quot;Evolution&quot; as part of the toyline's name in its first year,&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/181712 BigBadToyStore] listing : &quot;Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Voyager Wave 1 Set of 2 Figures&quot; (outdated, &quot;Evolution&quot; has since been removed)&lt;/ref&gt; far before the ''Evolution'' branding was officially introduced.<br /> * Much like 2022's ''[[Studio Series]]'' lineup, Leader Class toys feature window-less packaging, which allows for expanded [[package art|artwork]]. The others largely utilize the same minimized window and plastic tray-less boxes from the previous line, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'', though with many hard-to-stack (but cool!) angles for the sides and no plastic window.<br /> ** The lack of a plastic window in the packaging has led to several drawbacks, most prominently the lack of support offered by the plastic window makes the packaging more susceptible to stress-based wear-and-tear, as well as tampering with the figures inside such as pushing Voyager Bulkhead's head into his chest cavity, making it appear as though the figure is missing his head.<br /> * Due to the polarizing reception to the Generation-1-fied redesigns of ''Prime'' characters, Hasbro announced they were trying to find a better balance between preserving the original designs for non-G1 characters whilst updating them for the current aesthetic for later toys, particularly the ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' character updates,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: For Legacy Animated stuff, would they be in the original style or more G1-ified like the TFP toys? A: The latter, however they have heard the stylization feedback about the TFP figures, so they are working on trying to find a better balance regarding G1-ification.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about Animated updates in Legacy]&lt;/ref&gt; and has not ruled out on ''[[Studio Series]]'' for more accurate redos of ''Prime'' characters.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: Could we also see more accurate versions of them and the TFP characters in Studio Series though? A: Entirely possible, they’re talking about expanding Studio Series beyond movies.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about more accurate redos of Prime characters]&lt;/ref&gt; Come ''Legacy: Evolution'', the new ''Animated'' Prowl showed off this new approach, being basically the original design, just made more boxy. Meanwhile, ''Prime'' Skyquake ended up as a pretty even blend between the ''Prime'' and [[Skyquake (G1)|original Skyquake]] visually, while the ''Armada'' characters added to the line all had sculpts that were ''incredibly'' faithful to their original iterations (minus loads of gimmicks, of course, but the visuals were there).<br /> * The original listings included a lot of entries titled &quot;[[Energon]] Monster&quot;. As per Hasbro designer Mark Maher's Instagram post, these [[Fossilizer]] / [[Weaponizer]] style Core and Deluxe toys were dropped eventually, and last minute the [[Pretenders]] were approved to fill in these empty slots. Hence the different size classes between Skullgrin, Bomb-Burst and Iguanus.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.instagram.com/p/ChXxl3gumjK/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY= Mark Maher - Instagram]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * A ''Legacy'' animated series, conceptualized as a sequel to the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' cartoon, was in the discussion stage at one point, but [[Netflix]] passed on the pitch,&lt;ref&gt;{{citesocial|quote=Per FJ DeSanto: they had a series for Transformers Legacy planned out, but Netflix passed on it. #TFconLA|link=https://twitter.com/MikeSibertRadio/status/1502847896458170375|name=Mike Seibert|site=Twitter|year=2022|month=3|day=13|(defunct=)}}&lt;/ref&gt; as it didn't fit with Netflix's mandates at the time.

<p>Aaggggh1244567: </p> <hr /> <div>{{disambig3|Legacy}}<br /> {{nav-Legacy}}<br /> [[File:TF-Legacy-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|380px|We did it. We put the &quot;s&quot; in ''Generations''.]]<br /> '''''Transformers: Legacy''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Legacy''''')&lt;ref&gt;The official in-house title of the toyline is &quot;'''''Transformers Generations: Legacy'''''&quot;, which is often used in online product descriptions given to retailers. The name used for the line's logo, however; is just &quot;'''''Transformers: Legacy'''''&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt; is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the successor to the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.<br /> <br /> First revealed in late [[2021]] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2021]], ''Legacy'' commemorates the approaching 40th anniversary of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]] by featuring new toys of characters from across the ''Transformers'' [[multiverse]]. The toys are largely in the [[scale]] and style of those from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', including numerous 3&amp;nbsp;mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] from the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Characters from franchises known for more unique aesthetics, such as ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'' and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'', are updated with the modern ''Generations'' aesthetic to fit with the rest of the toyline, which can range from a significant redesign to the same basic model just rendered more like a modern &quot;[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]&quot; toy. The toyline also sees the return of [[combiner]]s from Hasbro for the first time since ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', starting with the [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]] in [[2022]]. <br /> <br /> The storytelling of ''Legacy'' follows characters brought together from across the [[multiverse]] as their universes collide.&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;/&gt; As such, non-&quot;Generation 1&quot; characters are (usually) given prefixes associated with their series of origin, such as &quot;[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron Universe]]&quot;. Replacing the package [[bio]]s of old is a QR code on the back of each box, or for Core Class figures, on the instructions, which leads to the character's bio on the ''Transformers'' website. Certain characters have also been given these prefixes to denote specific iterations, such as [[Impactor (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|&quot;Comic Universe&quot; Impactor]].<br /> <br /> Unlike its predecessors, ''Legacy'' was ''not'' replaced by a new line with its own distinct title for its second and third years. Instead, it was given a refresh in the form of [[subline imprint]]s titled '''''Legacy: Evolution''''' and '''''Legacy: United''''', with the existing assortments continued in terms of distribution. Similar to its predecessors, the ''Legacy'' toyline features [[package refresh]]es of several figures from previous lines, even all the way back to ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', though ''Legacy'' elects to remove the battle damage [[paint operation|paint applications]] from these toys where applicable.<br /> <br /> {{TOC|limit=3}}<br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===General retail===<br /> [[File:TF-Legacy-Evolution-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|250px|That's a lotta nuts!]]<br /> The first year of ''Legacy'' (theoretically) focuses on characters that can &quot;harness the power of [[Energon]]&quot;, with as many toys including an often-translucent accessory that the figure can wield in multiple ways and combine with others branded an &quot;[[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon-infused weapon]]&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;&gt;Pre-reveal of ''Legacy'' on the ''Transformers'' [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/6219021398168002 Facebook]: &quot;Celebrating an almost 40-year legacy of Transformers, universes collide as fan-favorite characters are brought together from across the multiverse, updated with Generations styling. You can harness the power of Energon, with all-new Energon-infused weapon accessories that come with figures across the line.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, not too dissimilar to the [[2003]] ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' series. In keeping with this theme, the first wave of Core Class includes weapons specifically designed to combine into a large sword, but the gimmick was quietly dropped immediately after. Moreover, toys that do not utilize clear plastic in any part of their construction do not have these &quot;energon infused&quot; weapons, but some product descriptions do claim that the weapons are such.&lt;ref&gt;Tarantula's product description says that he comes with a crossbow and an ''sic'' accessory, but Armada Starscream's product description claims that he comes with an energon sword despite both swords being casted in solid plastic.&lt;/ref&gt; Their random nature can be chalked up to them having been designed before the character roster was finalized.<br /> <br /> '''''Legacy: Evolution''''', the second year of ''Legacy'' product, was announced in fall 2022 at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2022|that year's Pulse Con]]. This [[subline imprint]] not only broadened the range of past ''Transformers'' franchises characters could be pulled from, it retired the Energon-infused weapons in favor of a series of integrated weapons referred to collectively as &quot;[[Evo-Fusion]].&quot; Admittedly, many of these are just the same &quot;combine and mount weapons somewhere on the figure&quot; play gimmick that has been part of the ''Generations'' line for years, but hey. Supporting this is a continuation of the &quot;[[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|Weaponizer]]&quot; concept with a new tribe of modular [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] that can mix and match body parts and accessories to create your own robot and vehicle modes, or armor and weaponry for other bots. Following [[Menasor (G1)#Legacy|Menasor]], this subline's combiner is [[Volcanicus (POTP)#Legacy|Volcanicus]], made up of six [[Dinobot (G1)#Legacy|Dinobots]] in the smaller Core Class. ''Evolution'' also puts some more focus on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' characters to commemorate the series' 20th anniversary, although these new releases do not include any of the series' original [[Mini-Cons]]. The line also notably features the first mainline ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' toys since the show's cancellation in 2009; 2023 ''also'' marks the 15th anniversary of the [[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|''Animated'' cartoon]], but we doubt this was intentional.<br /> <br /> '''''Legacy: United''''', the third year of ''Legacy'' product, was announced in fall 2023 at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2023|that year's Pulse Con]]. This subline imprint celebrates the 40th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand.<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ====Core Class====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot;

But the TakaraTomy line is markedly smaller than Hasbro's, having omitted all of the package-refresh figures and the first-year Core Class figures (the Cores were eventually picked up again with the ''Evolution'' Dinobots, ''et al.'').

What toys get &quot;____ Universe&quot; prefixes is sometimes arbitrary. The ''Diaclone''-adjacent items in the ''Generations Selects'' and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lineups are not given the &quot;Diaclone Universe&quot; label. ''Velocitron'' Blurr is based ''extensively'' on a comic-original redesign but doesn't get the &quot;Comic Universe&quot; tag. Galaxy Shuttle gets &quot;Victory Universe&quot; on his packaging, but Metalhawk and Minerva don't get &quot;[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1988 (Super-God Masterforce)|Masterforce]] Universe&quot; on theirs. Just roll with it.<br /> <br /> Readers might notice that the original ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise was released in 2001, not 2000. However, ''Legacy'' basically treats both ''Robots in Disguise'' and the original Japanese version ''Car Robots'' as the same thing, and ''Car Robots'' was released in 2000. (Similarly, 2003 is considered the anniversary year for ''Armada''; while the toys first arrived in both the US and Japan in late 2002, the overwhelming bulk of product was released throughout 2003.)<br /> <br /> In TakaraTomy's take on the line, everyone is established as visiting the &quot;[[Legacy World]]&quot; (レガシーワールド), alternatively &quot;Legacy Spacetime&quot; (レガシー時空) or &quot;Transformers Legacy World&quot; (トランスフォーマーレガシーワールド) in full. Their origin universe descriptions are largely similar, to the point of using Hasbro's names for the lines rather than their own (in line with their use of Hasbro's names for the characters), but there are still some notable differences:<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *Ancient Time Universe&lt;br&gt;(エンシェントタイムユニバース)&lt;!--Dia Burnout, Clampdown--&gt;<br /> *Armada Universe&lt;br&gt;(アルマダユニバース)&lt;!--Starscream--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *Comic Universe&lt;br&gt;(コミックユニバース)&lt;!--Blurr--&gt;<br /> *Cybertron Universe&lt;br&gt;(Cybertronユニバース)&lt;!--Override--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *G1 Multiverse&lt;br&gt;(G1マルチバース)&lt;!--Road Hauler--&gt;<br /> *G1 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G1ユニバース)&lt;!--Cosmos--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *G2 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G2ユニバース)&lt;!--Road Rocket, Shadowstrip--&gt;<br /> *Prime Spacetime&lt;br&gt;(プライム時空)&lt;!--Skyquake--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> *RID Universe&lt;br&gt;(RIDユニバース)&lt;!--Scourge--&gt;<br /> *Victory Universe&lt;br&gt;(ビクトリーユニバース)&lt;!--Galaxy Shuttle--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> The change from &quot;Diaclone&quot; to &quot;Ancient Time Universe&quot; is because TakaraTomy has a concurrently-running ''Diaclone'' revival line entirely separate from ''Transformers'' (focusing on the original pre-''Car Robot'' aesthetic).<br /> <br /> ===Other notes===<br /> * [[Emiliano Santalucia]] was responsible for the concept art of the various &quot;energon weapons&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;Then you will actually see the concept art Emiliano Santalucia drew up even before we had the rollout of characters planned for the year. I think this will provide great insight for all yall as alot of the planning for weapon combinations was to obviously utilize our 5mm peg across all scales but this was all sold in before character selects were figured out. -[https://www.instagram.com/p/CfEo07gO0H7/ Mark Maher on Legacy Energon weapons, 2022/6/21]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Prior to the toyline's reveal in October 2021, much of its roster was found through internal online listings from retailers such as [[Target]].<br /> * Some toy listings featured &quot;Evolution&quot; as part of the toyline's name in its first year,&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/181712 BigBadToyStore] listing : &quot;Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Voyager Wave 1 Set of 2 Figures&quot; (outdated, &quot;Evolution&quot; has since been removed)&lt;/ref&gt; far before the ''Evolution'' branding was officially introduced.<br /> * Much like 2022's ''[[Studio Series]]'' lineup, Leader Class toys feature window-less packaging, which allows for expanded [[package art|artwork]]. The others largely utilize the same minimized window and plastic tray-less boxes from the previous line, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'', though with many hard-to-stack (but cool!) angles for the sides and no plastic window.<br /> ** The lack of a plastic window in the packaging has led to several drawbacks, most prominently the lack of support offered by the plastic window makes the packaging more susceptible to stress-based wear-and-tear, as well as tampering with the figures inside such as pushing Voyager Bulkhead's head into his chest cavity, making it appear as though the figure is missing his head.<br /> * Due to the polarizing reception to the Generation-1-fied redesigns of ''Prime'' characters, Hasbro announced they were trying to find a better balance between preserving the original designs for non-G1 characters whilst updating them for the current aesthetic for later toys, particularly the ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' character updates,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: For Legacy Animated stuff, would they be in the original style or more G1-ified like the TFP toys? A: The latter, however they have heard the stylization feedback about the TFP figures, so they are working on trying to find a better balance regarding G1-ification.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about Animated updates in Legacy]&lt;/ref&gt; and has not ruled out on ''[[Studio Series]]'' for more accurate redos of ''Prime'' characters.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: Could we also see more accurate versions of them and the TFP characters in Studio Series though? A: Entirely possible, they’re talking about expanding Studio Series beyond movies.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about more accurate redos of Prime characters]&lt;/ref&gt; Come ''Legacy: Evolution'', the new ''Animated'' Prowl showed off this new approach, being basically the original design, just made more boxy. Meanwhile, ''Prime'' Skyquake ended up as a pretty even blend between the ''Prime'' and [[Skyquake (G1)|original Skyquake]] visually, while the ''Armada'' characters added to the line all had sculpts that were ''incredibly'' faithful to their original iterations (minus loads of gimmicks, of course, but the visuals were there).<br /> * The original listings included a lot of entries titled &quot;[[Energon]] Monster&quot;. As per Hasbro designer Mark Maher's Instagram post, these [[Fossilizer]] / [[Weaponizer]] style Core and Deluxe toys were dropped eventually, and last minute the [[Pretenders]] were approved to fill in these empty slots. Hence the different size classes between Skullgrin, Bomb-Burst and Iguanus.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.instagram.com/p/ChXxl3gumjK/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY= Mark Maher - Instagram]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * A ''Legacy'' animated series, conceptualized as a sequel to the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' cartoon, was in the discussion stage at one point, but [[Netflix]] passed on the pitch,&lt;ref&gt;{{citesocial|quote=Per FJ DeSanto: they had a series for Transformers Legacy planned out, but Netflix passed on it. #TFconLA|link=https://twitter.com/MikeSibertRadio/status/1502847896458170375|name=Mike Seibert|site=Twitter|year=2022|month=3|day=13|(defunct=)}}&lt;/ref&gt; as it didn't fit with Netflix's mandates at the time.

We put the &quot;s&quot; in ''Generations''.]]<br /> '''''Transformers: Legacy''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Legacy''''')&lt;ref&gt;The official in-house title of the toyline is &quot;'''''Transformers Generations: Legacy'''''&quot;, which is often used in online product descriptions given to retailers. The name used for the line's logo, however; is just &quot;'''''Transformers: Legacy'''''&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt; is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the successor to the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.<br /> <br /> First revealed in late [[2021]] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2021]], ''Legacy'' commemorates the approaching 40th anniversary of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]] by featuring new toys of characters from across the ''Transformers'' [[multiverse]]. The toys are largely in the [[scale]] and style of those from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', including numerous 3&amp;nbsp;mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] from the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Characters from franchises known for more unique aesthetics, such as ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'' and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'', are updated with the modern ''Generations'' aesthetic to fit with the rest of the toyline, which can range from a significant redesign to the same basic model just rendered more like a modern &quot;[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]&quot; toy. The toyline also sees the return of [[combiner]]s from Hasbro for the first time since ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', starting with the [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]] in [[2022]]. <br /> <br /> The storytelling of ''Legacy'' follows characters brought together from across the [[multiverse]] as their universes collide.&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;/&gt; As such, non-&quot;Generation 1&quot; characters are (usually) given prefixes associated with their series of origin, such as &quot;[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron Universe]]&quot;. Replacing the package [[bio]]s of old is a QR code on the back of each box, or for Core Class figures, on the instructions, which leads to the character's bio on the ''Transformers'' website. Certain characters have also been given these prefixes to denote specific iterations, such as [[Impactor (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|&quot;Comic Universe&quot; Impactor]].<br /> <br /> Unlike its predecessors, ''Legacy'' was ''not'' replaced by a new line with its own distinct title for its second and third years. Instead, it was given a refresh in the form of [[subline imprint]]s titled '''''Legacy: Evolution''''' and '''''Legacy: United''''', with the existing assortments continued in terms of distribution. Similar to its predecessors, the ''Legacy'' toyline features [[package refresh]]es of several figures from previous lines, even all the way back to ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', though ''Legacy'' elects to remove the battle damage [[paint operation|paint applications]] from these toys where applicable.<br /> <br /> {{TOC|limit=3}}<br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===General retail===<br /> [[File:TF-Legacy-Evolution-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|250px|That's a lotta nuts!]]<br /> The first year of ''Legacy'' (theoretically) focuses on characters that can &quot;harness the power of [[Energon]]&quot;, with as many toys including an often-translucent accessory that the figure can wield in multiple ways and combine with others branded an &quot;[[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon-infused weapon]]&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;&gt;Pre-reveal of ''Legacy'' on the ''Transformers'' [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/6219021398168002 Facebook]: &quot;Celebrating an almost 40-year legacy of Transformers, universes collide as fan-favorite characters are brought together from across the multiverse, updated with Generations styling. You can harness the power of Energon, with all-new Energon-infused weapon accessories that come with figures across the line.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, not too dissimilar to the [[2003]] ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' series. In keeping with this theme, the first wave of Core Class includes weapons specifically designed to combine into a large sword, but the gimmick was quietly dropped immediately after. Moreover, toys that do not utilize clear plastic in any part of their construction do not have these &quot;energon infused&quot; weapons, but some product descriptions do claim that the weapons are such.&lt;ref&gt;Tarantula's product description says that he comes with a crossbow and an ''sic'' accessory, but Armada Starscream's product description claims that he comes with an energon sword despite both swords being casted in solid plastic.&lt;/ref&gt; Their random nature can be chalked up to them having been designed before the character roster was finalized.<br /> <br /> '''''Legacy: Evolution''''', the second year of ''Legacy'' product, was announced in fall 2022 at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2022|that year's Pulse Con]]. This [[subline imprint]] not only broadened the range of past ''Transformers'' franchises characters could be pulled from, it retired the Energon-infused weapons in favor of a series of integrated weapons referred to collectively as &quot;[[Evo-Fusion]].&quot; Admittedly, many of these are just the same &quot;combine and mount weapons somewhere on the figure&quot; play gimmick that has been part of the ''Generations'' line for years, but hey. Supporting this is a continuation of the &quot;[[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|Weaponizer]]&quot; concept with a new tribe of modular [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] that can mix and match body parts and accessories to create your own robot and vehicle modes, or armor and weaponry for other bots. Following [[Menasor (G1)#Legacy|Menasor]], this subline's combiner is [[Volcanicus (POTP)#Legacy|Volcanicus]], made up of six [[Dinobot (G1)#Legacy|Dinobots]] in the smaller Core Class. ''Evolution'' also puts some more focus on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' characters to commemorate the series' 20th anniversary, although these new releases do not include any of the series' original [[Mini-Cons]]. The line also notably features the first mainline ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' toys since the show's cancellation in 2009; 2023 ''also'' marks the 15th anniversary of the [[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|''Animated'' cartoon]], but we doubt this was intentional.<br /> <br /> '''''Legacy: United''''', the third year of ''Legacy'' product, was announced in fall 2023 at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2023|that year's Pulse Con]]. This subline imprint celebrates the 40th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand.<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ====Core Class====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot;

But the TakaraTomy line is markedly smaller than Hasbro's, having omitted all of the package-refresh figures and the first-year Core Class figures (the Cores were eventually picked up again with the ''Evolution'' Dinobots, ''et al.'').

The ''Diaclone''-adjacent items in the ''Generations Selects'' and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lineups are not given the &quot;Diaclone Universe&quot; label. ''Velocitron'' Blurr is based ''extensively'' on a comic-original redesign but doesn't get the &quot;Comic Universe&quot; tag. Galaxy Shuttle gets &quot;Victory Universe&quot; on his packaging, but Metalhawk and Minerva don't get &quot;[[Fight!

Just roll with it.<br /> * Readers might notice that the original ''Robots in Disguise'' was released in 200'''''1'''''. However, ''Legacy'' basically treats both ''Robots in Disguise'' and the original Japanese version ''Car Robots'' as the same thing, and ''Car Robots'' was released in 2000. (Similarly, 2003 is considered the anniversary year for ''Armada''; while the toys first arrived in both the US and Japan in late 2002, the overwhelming bulk of product was released throughout 2003.)<br /> <br /> * In TakaraTomy's take on the line, everyone is established as visiting the &quot;[[Legacy World]]&quot; (レガシーワールド, alternatively &quot;Legacy Spacetime&quot; (レガシー時空) or &quot;Transformers Legacy World&quot; (トランスフォーマーレガシーワールド) in full). Their origin universe descriptions are largely similar, to the point of using Hasbro's names for the lines rather than their own (in line with their use of Hasbro's names for the characters), but there are still some notable differences:<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * Ancient Time Universe&lt;br&gt;(エンシェントタイムユニバース)&lt;!--Dia Burnout, Clampdown--&gt;<br /> * Armada Universe&lt;br&gt;(アルマダユニバース)&lt;!--Starscream--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * Comic Universe&lt;br&gt;(コミックユニバース)&lt;!--Blurr--&gt;<br /> * Cybertron Universe&lt;br&gt;(Cybertronユニバース)&lt;!--Override--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * G1 Multiverse&lt;br&gt;(G1マルチバース)&lt;!--Road Hauler--&gt;<br /> * G1 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G1ユニバース)&lt;!--Cosmos--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * G2 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G2ユニバース)&lt;!--Road Rocket, Shadowstrip--&gt;<br /> * Prime Spacetime&lt;br&gt;(プライム時空)&lt;!--Skyquake--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * RID Universe&lt;br&gt;(RIDユニバース)&lt;!--Scourge--&gt;<br /> *Victory Universe&lt;br&gt;(ビクトリーユニバース)&lt;!--Galaxy Shuttle--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> :* The change from &quot;Diaclone&quot; to &quot;Ancient Time Universe&quot; is because TakaraTomy has a concurrently-running ''Diaclone'' revival line entirely separate from ''Transformers'' (focusing on the original pre-''Car Robot'' aesthetic).<br /> <br /> ===Other notes===<br /> * [[Emiliano Santalucia]] was responsible for the concept art of the various &quot;energon weapons&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;Then you will actually see the concept art Emiliano Santalucia drew up even before we had the rollout of characters planned for the year. I think this will provide great insight for all yall as alot of the planning for weapon combinations was to obviously utilize our 5mm peg across all scales but this was all sold in before character selects were figured out. -[https://www.instagram.com/p/CfEo07gO0H7/ Mark Maher on Legacy Energon weapons, 2022/6/21]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Prior to the toyline's reveal in October 2021, much of its roster was found through internal online listings from retailers such as [[Target]].<br /> * Some toy listings featured &quot;Evolution&quot; as part of the toyline's name in its first year,&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/181712 BigBadToyStore] listing : &quot;Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Voyager Wave 1 Set of 2 Figures&quot; (outdated, &quot;Evolution&quot; has since been removed)&lt;/ref&gt; far before the ''Evolution'' branding was officially introduced.<br /> * Much like 2022's ''[[Studio Series]]'' lineup, Leader Class toys feature window-less packaging, which allows for expanded [[package art|artwork]]. The others largely utilize the same minimized window and plastic tray-less boxes from the previous line, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'', though with many hard-to-stack (but cool!) angles for the sides and no plastic window.<br /> ** The lack of a plastic window in the packaging has led to several drawbacks, most prominently the lack of support offered by the plastic window makes the packaging more susceptible to stress-based wear-and-tear, as well as tampering with the figures inside such as pushing Voyager Bulkhead's head into his chest cavity, making it appear as though the figure is missing his head.<br /> * Due to the polarizing reception to the Generation-1-fied redesigns of ''Prime'' characters, Hasbro announced they were trying to find a better balance between preserving the original designs for non-G1 characters whilst updating them for the current aesthetic for later toys, particularly the ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' character updates,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: For Legacy Animated stuff, would they be in the original style or more G1-ified like the TFP toys? A: The latter, however they have heard the stylization feedback about the TFP figures, so they are working on trying to find a better balance regarding G1-ification.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about Animated updates in Legacy]&lt;/ref&gt; and has not ruled out on ''[[Studio Series]]'' for more accurate redos of ''Prime'' characters.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: Could we also see more accurate versions of them and the TFP characters in Studio Series though? A: Entirely possible, they’re talking about expanding Studio Series beyond movies.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about more accurate redos of Prime characters]&lt;/ref&gt; Come ''Legacy: Evolution'', the new ''Animated'' Prowl showed off this new approach, being basically the original design, just made more boxy. Meanwhile, ''Prime'' Skyquake ended up as a pretty even blend between the ''Prime'' and [[Skyquake (G1)|original Skyquake]] visually, while the ''Armada'' characters added to the line all had sculpts that were ''incredibly'' faithful to their original iterations (minus loads of gimmicks, of course, but the visuals were there).<br /> * The original listings included a lot of entries titled &quot;[[Energon]] Monster&quot;. As per Hasbro designer Mark Maher's Instagram post, these [[Fossilizer]] / [[Weaponizer]] style Core and Deluxe toys were dropped eventually, and last minute the [[Pretenders]] were approved to fill in these empty slots.

<p>Aaggggh1244567: </p> <hr /> <div>{{factions|predacon|dinobot|maximalbm}}''<br /> {{picsneeded|fictional appearances}}<br /> <br /> :''Magmatron is a [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] from the [[Beast Era]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].<br /> <br /> [[File:Magmatronbm.jpg|right|upright=1.67|thumb|Part robot, part 3 different prehistoric animals, and he can ''dance''.]]<br /> As befits a decorated Warrior-General, '''Magmatron''' (マグマトロン ''Magumatoron'') is capable of both elegant, reasoned judgment and wild, vicious action. Once he has set his sights on a goal, his drive to achieve it is unwavering and he will accept nothing less than total victory. Despite these attributes, and prodigious physical power, Magmatron's greatest advantage often lies in his charismatic leadership. Revered and admired by his soldiers, Magmatron fits the title &quot;[[Emperor of Destruction]]&quot; better than most. <br /> <br /> On the surface, Magmatron seems to have much in common with [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]. Both are schemers and planners, willing to subvert the established Predacon power structure to suit their plans and ultimate ambition for power, and possessing the strength to fight off any who challenge them. Their key difference lies in their relationships to that power structure. Megatron is at heart a rebel, working outside existing society. Magmatron, on the other hand, values his position of power and eminence in the current Predacon hierarchy, and though he schemes to someday stand at the top of that body, he is unwilling to risk his current high standings any more than he must to achieve those future goals. Also, while Megatron is more openly abusive and harsh with his troops, Magmatron operates with more military professionalism when interacting with his own soldiers. This aspect of Magmatron's personality may also be due to his more professional background, as opposed to Megatron's more rogue-ish ways.<br /> <br /> Magmatron possesses a [[mitotic spark]] which allows him to separate into three dinosaur forms called '''Landsaurus''' (ランドサウルス ''Randosaurus''), '''Seasaurus''' (シーサウルス ''Shīsaurus''), and '''Skysaurus''' (スカイサウルス ''Sukaisaurus''),&lt;ref&gt;Referred to as &quot;Landsaur&quot;, &quot;Seasaur&quot;, and &quot;Skysaur&quot; in Magmatron's ''Beast Machines Dinobots'' bio.&lt;/ref&gt; or merge them into a single monstrosity called '''Magmasaurus''' (マグマサウルス ''Magumasaurus'').<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===''Beast Wars Neo'' cartoon===<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Show Ryuzanji]] (Japanese)|[[Kwan-cheol Kim]] (Korean)}}<br /> [[File:Magmatron cartoon.jpg|left|thumb|No, the toy isn't this cool.]]<br /> Magmatron was fighting [[Big Convoy]] on a distant planet, up until he confronted him personally. Shocked by the legendary warrior's appearance, he attempted to stand against him, but was quickly disabled by Convoy's “Big Cannon”. Much later on, Magmatron and his troops were stationed on [[Gaia]], where they caught a glimpse of five new [[Maximal]] recruits touching down on the planet's surface. In response, he immediately ordered his soldiers to crush their opposition. He then rendezvoused with the other Predacons, surrounding their hostage, [[Stampy (BW)|Stampy]], who told them where the Maximals were. Going off of this information, Magmatron found his way to Big Convoy and the other recruits, mocking the legendary Maximal warrior for being a teacher rather than a lone wolf like before. Convoy's students then formulated a plan to rescue Stampy, with [[Colada]], [[Break]], and [[Longrack (BW)|Longrack]] taking on the other Predacons, and [[Heinrad (BW)|Heinrad]] freezing time for long enough to snatch the rabbit ‘bot away from Magmatron, and return back to his team unscathed. Enraged at having lost his hostage, Magmatron fired at Heinrad, who ducked, allowing the shot to instead hit Big Convoy in the chest. Demanding payback for his previous defeat, Magmatron prepared to launch another “Magma Rocket”, but was countered by Big Convoy's “Big Cannon” once more. Seeing how the battle was unfolding, [[Guiledart]] requested that [[DNAVI]] take them back to headquarters, which teleported all Predacons away from the combat. Back on his ship, Magmatron vowed to take the [[Angolmois Energy]] that rightfully belonged to the Predacons, before Big Convoy and his Maximals could. {{storylink|Big Convoy, Move Out}}<br /> <br /> Magmatron received a transmission from [[Saberback]], who was stationed on the planet [[Godbless]], and had found a capsule of Angolmois energy. Saberback gloated to him about his abilities to create illusions, but Magmatron dismissed this, and was only concerned about the recovery of the capsule, and the plundering of the planet for natural resources. Later on, when Saberback asked to be teleported back to the ship with the capsule in tow, Magmatron told him that he couldn't teleport both at once, and that he'd have to make it back on his own. When Saberback told him that the Maximals were trailing him, and would complicate the situation, Magmatron ordered Guiledart, [[Dead End (BW)|Dead End]], and [[Sling]], to assist their comrade. When the Predacons were defeated by Big Convoy, Magmatron had DNAVI teleport them off Godbless before they could be harmed any further. {{storylink|Chase the Mysterious Capsule}}<br /> <br /> Magmatron was on the ''[[Dinosaur (ship)|Dinosaur]]'' when Guiledart suggested touching down on [[Solid]] to retrieve the Angolmois capsule located there. Although Dead End had his doubts, Magmatron insisted, and had DNAVI teleport them down to the planet. {{storylink|Burning Heart Below Freezing}} <br /> <br /> When Guiledart suggested outright attacking the Maximals on [[Maderan]] so that the Predacons could search for the Angolmois there unfettered, Magmatron agreed and gave him autonomy over the mission. He later had to come to the planet personally to recapture the Maximals when Guiledart was taking too long, dressing him down for failing at a supposedly simple mission. He did, however, allow his Predacons to torture their prisoners, himself taking great glee in seeing the Maximals in pain. Stampy was furious at the treatment of his friends and tried to attack Magmatron, but the Predacon leader swatted him away. When Big Convoy arrived soon after, Magmatron ordered a tactical retreat, and had DNAVI take the Predacons back to the ''Dinosaur''. {{storylink|Hang in There, Stampy}}<br /> <br /> Magmatron was at the helm of the ''Dinosaur'' when the Predacons were in orbit of [[Donovan]]. He noted that the Maximals were likely there to find the Angolmois, just like them. When his troops managed to find the capsule located on the planet, he was there to listen to the transmission between them and DNAVI, during which they were told that both them ''and'' the capsule couldn't be teleported at once. {{storylink|Mirage of the Sand}}<br /> <br /> {{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Dinosaur Combiner Magmatron}} {{storylink|Duel in the Labyrinth}} {{storylink|The Black Hole Crisis}} {{storylink|Sub-Commander Longrack}} {{storylink|Waa!

After exposure to the Angolmois Capsule that crashed on the planet, the gang became more ferocious and killed [[Big Convoy#Beast Wars Neo comic|Big]]'s friends. The gang attacked [[Lio Convoy]], who had just arrived on the planet by accident, but failed because of Big's interruption. The gang followed Lio Convoy and Big's trails to the site where the capsule fell. Big pushed the gang into the valley, where the ''Giganotosaurus'' and its minions were caught in the explosion of the Angolmois Capsule and evolved into Transformers. The ''Giganotosaurus'' was fused with a ''Quetzalcoatlus'' and an ''Elasmosaurus'', becoming Magmasaurus. The Magmasaurus transformed into Magmatron, commanding his just-evolved minions to attack Lio Convoy and Big. Lio Convoy managed to defeat the henchmen with ease, but Magmatron took him out with one blast. With the power he now possessed, Magmatron claimed they would travel to various planets to kill every living thing. {{storylink|The Beast Wars &quot;Neo&quot; Begin!!!}}<br /> <br /> ====''Beast Wars Neo'' manga====<br /> [[File:bwn-bigconvoy&amp;magmatron-manga-06-riding.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]<br /> <br /> {{charstubfiction|{{storylink|The 5 Rookies}} {{storylink|There Are 7 Capsules}} {{storylink|100000000000000000 Grains of Sandron!!}}}}<br /> <br /> Later, Magmatron again met Big, now the Maximal Big Convoy. During a fierce battle, Magmatron indicated they had a history but Big Convoy couldn't remember and was surprised by Magmatron's words. When Magmatron thought he gained the upper hand, he was surprised by multiple blasts from his foe's [[Big Cannon]]. {{storylink|Mortal Combat! Twenty Thousand Meters in the Sky}}<br /> <br /> The badly wounded Magmatron now had to separate himself into the three dinosaurs and stay in healing chambers. He ordered his henchmen to go to the planet [[Jörmungandr]] to retrieve an Angolmois Capsule. The group, however, failed and was sucked into space. The mysterious [[Unicron|Black Ball]], which had been retrieved by Big Convoy's crew, suddenly appeared in the ''[[Dinosaur (ship)|Dinosaur]]'', offering his troops, the [[Blentron]]s, to Magmatron. {{storylink|A Battle Fought Alone}}<br /> <br /> Magmatron and Big Convoy were tricked to an {{w|amphitheatre}} where the last capsule was located by the Black Ball. Magmatron commanded the Blentron to attack Big Convoy's crew. During the battle, Magmatron was attacked from behind by a Blentron. It was revealed that both Magmatron and Big Convoy were the last Angolmois Capsule, and thus the Black Ball, who was actually Unicron, desired to consume them to regain the energy. Magmatron saved his old rival, who was despairing upon regaining his memory,and convinced him to team up to fight Unicron and the Blentrons. Magmatron was eventually chewed up and spat out by Unicron. A dying Magmatron, now reduced to only a head, left his [[Magma Blade (BW)|Magma Blade]] to Big Convoy as a &quot;parting gift&quot; and asked Big Convoy to give him an honorable &quot;warrior's death&quot; with his own sword. Big Convoy conceded to the request. {{storylink|Double Cross}}<br /> <br /> Big Convoy later struck the blow that finished off Unicron's physical body with Magmatron's sword, avenging his death. {{storylink|Return to Zero}}<br /> <br /> ===''Beast Machines'' toy bio===<br /> Magmatron was a member of the [[Dinobot (BM)|Dinobot faction]], revered and reviled in equal measure. He had been on an intergalactic quest for energy capsules, but when he returned to Cybertron he found it being overrun by [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon drones!]] <br /> <br /> He served under [[T-Wrecks]], despite bearing a higher numerical rank and the nickname &quot;Emperor of Destruction.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===3H comics===<br /> Magmatron had become part of the new Dinobots, and was sent on a mission, given to them by the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]], {{Storylink|Departure}} to the planet [[Arkus]]. The mission was a trap, however, and Magmatron and his Dinobots were attacked by [[energy vampire]]s and their master known as the [[Dweller (G1)|Dweller]]. {{storylink|Betrayal}} Magmatron fought off the Dweller long enough for the Dinobots to escape. When they returned to rescue him, they found nothing but his sword. {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1}}<br /> <br /> ===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===<br /> {{BW Shell Game}}<br /> Magmatron made his way to prehistoric Earth, with the intention of raising an army out of the protoforms left behind by the Axalon's crew. He watched from afar as Optimus Primal's team launched from the planet aboard an Autobot shuttlecraft, with Megatron as their prisoner.<br /> As one of his agents, Razorbeast, activated the stasis pods remotely, another one of his lackeys, Spittor, reported that one of the protoforms had been activated as a Maximal instead of a Predacon. Abandoning his cover as a Maximal double-agent, Razorbeast fled from Magmatron and into the wild. {{storylink|Shell Game issue 1|Shell Game #1}}<br /> <br /> ===2006 IDW ''Beast Wars'' continuity===<br /> According to one account, Magmatron was the result of one of many experiments conducted by the [[Tripredacus Council]] in the advent of protoform technology, after the signing of the Pax Cybertronia. {{storylink|Dawn of the Predacus}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Magmatron speech TheGathering1.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb]]<br /> <br /> Another account has it that, during the early days of the [[Pax Cybertronia]], Magmatron endangered the fragile peace, being an indomitable general who would not accept defeat. When he was finally brought to heel by the [[Tripredacus Council]], he still chafed under the terms of the treaty and the council's apparent willingness to roll over for the Maximals. However, he accepted his change in status and maneuvered into a position on the [[Committee for State Affairs]] alongside his old enemy, [[Big Convoy]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook #2}}<br /> <br /> Frustrated by the Council's decision to bide its time, Magmatron recruited a small band of disenchanted warriors and fostered a professional relationship with the Tripredacus agent [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] to keep abreast of the situation on [[Earth]]. With this information, he formed an elegant and tightly knit plan to travel backwards in time to prehistoric Earth and reprogram all of the remaining [[protoform]] Maximals into Predacons. Keeping his plans secret until the last moment, he revealed to his forces that the Council had ordered him to pick up the task where their previous agent failed: capture the rogue [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]].<br /> <br /> [[Chronal phase|Chronically displacing]] his crew so that they could not be detected by the beast warriors who are already there, they set to work. He ordered [[Razorbeast]] to begin activating the [[stasis pod]]s while [[Spittor (BW)|Spittor]], [[Manterror]], [[Transquito]], and [[Iguanus (BW)|Iguanus]] reported on their progress. They witnessed the birth of three Predacons, but Spittor was greeted by the Maximal, [[Polar Claw]]. More Maximals were spotted, revealing Razorbeast as a spy, but the warthog escaped into the wilderness. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 1|The Gathering #1}}<br /> <br /> Once his new army was assembled, Magmatron ordered them to hunt down the Maximals. [[Drill Bit (BW)|Drill Bit]] and Spittor, however, accompanied Magmatron on his personal quest to find Razorbeast. He located the spy and quickly gained the upper hand with his three dinosaur modes, but Razorbeast pulled a fast one, and buried the Predacon leader beneath a mountainside. Magmatron soon recouped his losses by recovering the spark of the Tripredacus agent, Ravage. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 2|The Gathering #2}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Gathering3-Megatron Magmatron.jpg|right|upright=1.5|thumb|Insert &quot;Megatron not pleased a BWN character is stealing his role&quot; joke here.]]<br /> <br /> Iguanus, having located a [[blank]] protoform, assisted Magmatron with rebirthing Ravage in a new, [[Transmetal 2]] body. Magmatron ordered Ravage to hunt down and terminate Razorbeast's Maximals. Magmatron proceeded to set forth on his next mission; locating and capturing Megatron to ensure the Tripredacus Council didn't catch on to his real plans. He confronted Megatron, and the two engaged in battle. Megatron insisted that Magmatron was foolish for coming after him alone, as Ravage did, but Magmatron was not alone— Iguanus and Drill Bit ambushed Megatron and disabled him. The Predacons brought Megatron to a [[unspace|transwarp]] platform they had set up and prepared to send Megatron into the hands of the Council, but they were interrupted by the wandering [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 3|The Gathering #3}} <br /> <br /> [[File:MagmatronVGrimlock TheGathering4.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb]]<br /> <br /> Magmatron engaged Grimlock in a vicious [[beast mode]] battle, and despite the Maximal's resilence, Magmatron eventually overwhelmed him. Grimlock was enough of a distraction, however, to let Razorbeast and [[Optimus Minor]] enter the camp undetected and steal a [[chronal phase facilitator]]. When Razorbeast confronted Magmatron in the open, the Predacon general saw an opportunity to settle an old score. But with Razorbeast using the facilitator to shift out of his chronal phase, Magmatron was unable to land a single hit on his smaller opponent. Optimus Minor removed the facilitator attached to the unconscious Megatron, returning the rogue to his proper chronal state. Magmatron lunged to stop it, and ended up falling onto the transwarp platform just as it activated. Razorbeast blasted the device, causing it to malfunction and send Magmatron to parts unknown. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 4|The Gathering #4}}<br /> <br /> Razorbeast's meddling in Magmatron's transwarp shunt caused the Predacon commander to be consigned to a temporal limbo, able to traverse the whole of history but unable to affect any of the events he witnessed. Through this, he saw the eventual end of Cybertron as its inhabitants set upon each other with beastly fury while [[Shokaract]] summoned [[Unicron]] to devour the planet. Knowing that the roots of this catastrophic event were already beginning in his time, Magmatron turned to the enemy who had consigned him to this fate. Exerting what little influence he could, he stabilized the Transwarp carrier signal sent by the Maximals weeks earlier, allowing the time-lost distress call to be received by [[Lio Convoy]] and the [[Pack]]. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 1|The Ascending #1}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Magmatron Ravage TheAscending2.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb]]<br /> <br /> Magmatron's meddling effect on the timestream was noticed by Unicron, who dispatched [[Latolata|Rartorata]] to Earth to deal with the assembling combatants there. His ability to change the future was increased further, however, when during the confusion of the battle on Earth between the Maximal and Predacon forces, a playing 'possum Ravage made contact with the chronal displacement bands. Magmatron was able to use his limited influence to hold Ravage inside chronospace, where he was able to make contact with the former [[Decepticon]]. Magmatron briefed him on the apocalypse that could yet come, urging him to call a truce with the Maximals in an effort to stop the end of all things. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 2|The Ascending #2}}<br /> <br /> From his chronal prison, Magmatron watched his rival Big Convoy die at Shokaract's hands in the future, knowing that it was only a prelude to the destruction to come. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 3|The Ascending #3}} A combined group of Maximals and Predacons returned with Ravage to present-day Cybertron to battle Shokaract, arriving before Big Convoy could be killed. Ravage again briefed with Magmatron, who instructed him to send a Maximal to attach a chronal-displacement device onto Shokaract's body. This was eventually accomplished at the cost of many lives and Shokaract was brought to Magmatron within chronospace. Magmatron showed him Cybertron's future and the realization that he was a pawn of Unicron caused a distraught Shokaract to commit suicide, causing a &quot;time-lash&quot; that freed Magmatron from limbo.<br /> <br /> The restored Magmatron informed the assembled Maximals and Predacons that the threat had ended.

After the defeat of the Vehicons, Magmatron formed a new High Council with [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspscream]], [[Icebird]], and [[Rodimus Primal]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/16}}<br /> <br /> ===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===<br /> [[File:BWU Magmatron.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb]]<br /> <br /> Magmatron was chief engineering specialist aboard the ''Dinosaur'', overseeing junior engineers [[Crazybolt (BW)|Crazybolt]] and [[Dead End (BW)|Dead-End]]. During the launch of an away mission to [[Metascan Omega|LGC-8803]], the ''Dinosaur'' was attacked by an [[Intruder]] craft, putting Magmatron to work maintaining the integrity of his ship.<br /> <br /> He had little time to spare when [[Killer Punch]] came by with a tale of the hallways moving on him and [[Hydra (BW)|Hydra]] possibly being killed. Still, the intelligence specialist's sensor logs were compelling, so Magmatron arranged for a localized brown-out so that Killer Punch could reach the laboratory the ship seemed dedicated to keeping from him. It was only due to Killer Punch's paranoid comms channel that Magmatron saw what happened next. The Builder political officer [[Synapse (BWU)|Synapse]] bragged about killing Hydra before having Killer Punch killed as well. An uprising had begun on Cybertron, and Synapse couldn't have the proto-former crew getting any sympathetic ideas.<br /> <br /> Magmatron rallied the remaining members of the crew on board in a plan to reach the captain's chambers and disable the ship's internal defenses. He and [[Guiledart]] made their way to the captain, only to find [[Full-Tilt (G1)|Full-Tilt]] wasn't responsible for the attacks on the crew. He had been severed from control of the ''Dinosaur'', actually the [[Titan (group)|Megamaster]] war criminal once known as [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. Additional damage done by the [[Destructon]] intruders only made the situation more perilous, forcing the chief back to engineering to keep the ship in the air long enough to seize control of it. Once Dead-End disabled Trypticon's higher consciousness, Magmatron and Full-Tilt were able to preserve the ship's integrity long enough to crash it on LGC-8803, opening the starship up into a new colony dubbed [[Dinosaur City]].<br /> <br /> Leaving Full-Tilt, first officer [[Longrack (BW)|Longrack]], and others behind on Dinosaur City, Magmatron manned a shuttle with a contingent of his crew who wished to return to Cybertron and fight in the [[Grand Uprising]]. {{storylink|Intersectionality}}<br /> <br /> Magmatron's crew remained intact as a unit when they joined the Resistance. Guiledart, Bazooka, Crazybolt and Rampage were only joined by two additional resistance fighters named [[Archadis]] and [[Sling]]. Archadis was an arrogant lout, but his prior loyalty to [[Lio Convoy]] led to him being named second-in-command of Magmatron's squad. During a mission to eliminate a traitor named [[Snapper]] in the midst of a prisoner transfer, Magmatron's unit was separated from Rampage and got into a protracted shoot-out with the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]] guards. Rampage returned, uncharacteristically asking for help. He had been drafted into the defense of Cybertron by the Oracle against the [[Antares Eight]], disguised aliens intent on exposing Cybertron to conflict with the [[Human Confederacy]]. Magmatron abandoned Lio Convoy's mission to help Rampage, even fighting alongside Snapper and the Constructicons in the process. Once the dust settled, these united Cybertronians mostly chose to remain together as the [[Ex-Bot (BWU)|Ex-Bots]], defending innocents in [[Proximax]] and beyond from the fallout of the Builders' war with the Resistance. Archadis and Sling left to return to Lio Convoy, but the others remained with Magmatron and Rampage. {{storylink|Cultural Appropriation}}<br /> <br /> Magmatron and the Ex-Bots defended Proximax from the horrors of war over the next stellar cycle. Magmatron and the former MaxCop [[Stiletto]] rose to the top as co-leaders of the motley collection of bots from different factions. They captured a renegade Predacon scientist named [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] intent on using a [[Robo-Smasher]] on the populace. The war between the Builders and the Resistance was soon overcome by the [[Vehicon Apocalypse]], as the Builders latest weapon turned against them and the planet at large. The Ex-Bots joined the fight, and advanced with various armies on the [[Grand Mal]], center of Vehicon activity. Magmatron and Guiledart found themselves fighting alongside the [[Legion of the Inferno]], army of the [[Independent Predacus States]]. When the Mal fell (thanks to Rampage), Magmatron's three forms coordinated the various forces in corralling and eliminating as many disoriented but functional Vehicons remained.<br /> <br /> In the aftermath, Magmatron's battlefield activities had impressed [[Ram Horn]], last survivor of the previous [[Tripredacus Council]]. He was offered a place on the new council, joining Ram Horn and [[Ser-Ket (BWU)|Ser-Ket]], protege of the fallen founder of the Predacons, [[Preditron]]. Magmatron represented the Independent Predacus States at the Grand Summit orchestrated by Lio Convoy, as the [[Cybertronian Parliament]] was forged to lead Cybertron into the next millennium. {{storylink|Derailment}}<br /> <br /> ===Legends World===<br /> Magmatron of the [[Legends World]] was the principal at a school. When [[Big Convoy|Big]] suggested changing the &quot;HR&quot; for &quot;home room&quot; to &quot;TF&quot; for &quot;''Transformers''&quot; during a staff meeting, Magmatron asked what he was going to do during &quot;TF&quot; period. When the teacher said he'd talk about ''Transformers'', Magmatron noted that was he already was doing and considered firing him. {{Storylink|LG59 Blitzwing Prologue: Big-sensei#Very Strange|Very Strange}}<br /> <br /> After the Legends World was destroyed, Magmatron ended up on [[Beast (planet)|Beast]], where he became a full-fledged Beast Warrior through [[Transformers sickness]] and helped fight against [[Galvatron II]] and his [[Nemesis (BW)|Nemesis]]. {{storylink|The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 3}} When the Legends World was restored, Magmatron returned to it, and was present when [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] announced he was leaving the universe.

Each of the individual beast modes also feature a gimmick: Skysaurus's gimmick is activated by pulling on the tail to move the wings in a flapping action; Landsaurus's mouth can plug either of the Skysaurus's Wing Missiles, which are fired by pulling back on the top of the head; and for Seasaurus, pinching on the back flippers makes the front ones move in unison to simulate a swimming motion. All three components of Magmatron can combine to form his &quot;Magmasaurus&quot; mode.<br /> <br /> : In [[robot mode]], Magmatron—like most Ultra-sized figures—features multiple gimmicks and weapons. Magmatron's Magma Blade can be used in two different configurations; the first is the standard sword configuration, however, a second handle can be flipped out, allowing him to hold it as a blaster. Activating the trigger allows for any of his five missiles to be fired as his &quot;Magma Rocket&quot; attack. The lower section of Seasaurus becomes his &quot;Magma Shield&quot;, that mounts on his left arm, and features the swimming gimmick from beast mode, which can now be used as his &quot;Shield Crusher&quot; pincer. As Seasaurus's neck is made up of multiple ball joints, its head can be manuevered through the gap between his shoulder and his left wing to simulate the &quot;Magma Attack&quot; from the cartoon. Magmatron also features free-rolling wheels on his robot feet which don't serve much of a purpose, though, they can be flipped down on Landsaurus to somewhat replicate [[Transmetal]] [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s &quot;third mode&quot; if so desired. <br /> <br /> : Pictured in the box just below Magmatron's Magmasaurus mode (in the image to the right), is a recommended configuration for Seasaurus's neck joints to be positioned that enables you to have its head pegged onto his left shoulder snuggly. It's not very appealing to look at from behind, but it reduces the amount of neck hanging from his back and cleans up his silhouette from the front. All of the curves of his back-[[kibble]] make everything sit nice and tight against each other too!<br /> <br /> : [[Sonokong]] released Magmatron in the [[South Korea|Korean]] ''Beast-War Neo'' toyline.

The toy itself was slightly changed from his original release, with his missiles and sword &quot;rounded off&quot; to better conform with [[For safety reasons|United States safety laws]], and overall has a less &quot;metallic&quot; sheen to his plastic. Another more prominent difference is a duller-mustard shade of yellow paint being present on the pelvis of the robot mode, whereas the original has bright yellow.<br /> <br /> : Hasbro's version of Magmatron was available [[exclusive]]ly through [[Target]] stores in the USA, in a box branded as part of the ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' toyline. For the most part, the packaging bore little resemblance to its Takara counterpart; however, it ''did'' feature a few elements in Japanese, meant to emphasize the &quot;exotic&quot; origin of the figure, namely a small version of the official Japanese ''Transformers'' logo (トランスフォーマー), the names of the toy itself, its combined beast mode and its three individual components in katakana, as well as a promotional blurb advertising the toy's features in Japanese that was lifted verbatim from the packaging of Takara's original ''Beast Wars'' release.<br /> <br /> : The instructions for Magmatron incorrectly name two of his individual beast modes: the ''Quetzalcoatlus'' is referred to as a &quot;''{{w|Pteranodon}}''&quot;, and the ''Giganotosaurus'' is referred to as a &quot;{{w|Dromaeosauridae|raptor}}&quot; (that is one ''biiiiiig'' raptor). The ''Elasmosaurus'' is referred to as a &quot;{{w|Plesiosaur}}&quot;, which is ''kinda'' correct, just not as specific. The combined beast mode is termed a &quot;Monster mode&quot;.<br /> <br /> : His [[bio]] card describes him as a Maximal, and also places him on [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]-dominated Cybertron.

We put the &quot;s&quot; in ''Generations''.]]<br /> '''''Transformers: Legacy''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Legacy''''')&lt;ref&gt;The official in-house title of the toyline is &quot;'''''Transformers Generations: Legacy'''''&quot;, which is often used in online product descriptions given to retailers. The name used for the line's logo, however; is just &quot;'''''Transformers: Legacy'''''&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt; is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the successor to the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.<br /> <br /> First revealed in late [[2021]] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2021]], ''Legacy'' commemorates the approaching 40th anniversary of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]] by featuring new toys of characters from across the ''Transformers'' [[multiverse]]. The toys are largely in the [[scale]] and style of those from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', including numerous 3&amp;nbsp;mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] from the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Characters from franchises known for more unique aesthetics, such as ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'' and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'', are updated with the modern ''Generations'' aesthetic to fit with the rest of the toyline, which can range from a significant redesign to the same basic model just rendered more like a modern &quot;[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]&quot; toy. The toyline also sees the return of [[combiner]]s from Hasbro for the first time since ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', starting with the [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]] in [[2022]]. <br /> <br /> The storytelling of ''Legacy'' follows characters brought together from across the [[multiverse]] as their universes collide.&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;/&gt; As such, non-&quot;Generation 1&quot; characters are (usually) given prefixes associated with their series of origin, such as &quot;[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron Universe]]&quot;. Replacing the package [[bio]]s of old is a QR code on the back of each box, or for Core Class figures, on the instructions, which leads to the character's bio on the ''Transformers'' website. Certain characters have also been given these prefixes to denote specific iterations, such as [[Impactor (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|&quot;Comic Universe&quot; Impactor]].<br /> <br /> Unlike its predecessors, ''Legacy'' was ''not'' replaced by a new line with its own distinct title for its second and third years. Instead, it was given a refresh in the form of [[subline imprint]]s titled '''''Legacy: Evolution''''' and '''''Legacy: United''''', with the existing assortments continued in terms of distribution. Similar to its predecessors, the ''Legacy'' toyline features [[package refresh]]es of several figures from previous lines, even all the way back to ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', though ''Legacy'' elects to remove the battle damage [[paint operation|paint applications]] from these toys where applicable.<br /> <br /> {{TOC|limit=3}}<br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===General retail===<br /> [[File:TF-Legacy-Evolution-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|250px|That's a lotta nuts!]]<br /> The first year of ''Legacy'' (theoretically) focuses on characters that can &quot;harness the power of [[Energon]]&quot;, with as many toys including an often-translucent accessory that the figure can wield in multiple ways and combine with others branded an &quot;[[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon-infused weapon]]&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;&gt;Pre-reveal of ''Legacy'' on the ''Transformers'' [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/6219021398168002 Facebook]: &quot;Celebrating an almost 40-year legacy of Transformers, universes collide as fan-favorite characters are brought together from across the multiverse, updated with Generations styling. You can harness the power of Energon, with all-new Energon-infused weapon accessories that come with figures across the line.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, not too dissimilar to the [[2003]] ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' series. In keeping with this theme, the first wave of Core Class includes weapons specifically designed to combine into a large sword, but the gimmick was quietly dropped immediately after. Moreover, toys that do not utilize clear plastic in any part of their construction do not have these &quot;energon infused&quot; weapons, but some product descriptions do claim that the weapons are such.&lt;ref&gt;Tarantula's product description says that he comes with a crossbow and an ''sic'' accessory, but Armada Starscream's product description claims that he comes with an energon sword despite both swords being casted in solid plastic.&lt;/ref&gt; Their random nature can be chalked up to them having been designed before the character roster was finalized.<br /> <br /> '''''Legacy: Evolution''''', the second year of ''Legacy'' product, was announced in fall 2022 at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2022|that year's Pulse Con]]. This [[subline imprint]] not only broadened the range of past ''Transformers'' franchises characters could be pulled from, it retired the Energon-infused weapons in favor of a series of integrated weapons referred to collectively as &quot;[[Evo-Fusion]].&quot; Admittedly, many of these are just the same &quot;combine and mount weapons somewhere on the figure&quot; play gimmick that has been part of the ''Generations'' line for years, but hey. Supporting this is a continuation of the &quot;[[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|Weaponizer]]&quot; concept with a new tribe of modular [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] that can mix and match body parts and accessories to create your own robot and vehicle modes, or armor and weaponry for other bots. Following [[Menasor (G1)#Legacy|Menasor]], this subline's combiner is [[Volcanicus (POTP)#Legacy|Volcanicus]], made up of six [[Dinobot (G1)#Legacy|Dinobots]] in the smaller Core Class. ''Evolution'' also puts some more focus on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' characters to commemorate the series' 20th anniversary, although these new releases do not include any of the series' original [[Mini-Cons]]. The line also notably features the first mainline ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' toys since the show's cancellation in 2009; 2023 ''also'' marks the 15th anniversary of the [[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|''Animated'' cartoon]], but we doubt this was intentional.<br /> <br /> '''''Legacy: United''''', the third year of ''Legacy'' product, was announced in fall 2023 at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2023|that year's Pulse Con]]. This subline imprint celebrates the 40th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand.<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ====Core Class====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot;

The toys eventually started shipping in mid-July, with the remaining toys being officially revealed at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] (though naturally they had both leaked ''and'' been found at Walmarts before the show).<br /> <br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|&lt;u&gt;'''Deluxe Beast Assortment'''&lt;/u&gt;<br /> &lt;ul class=&quot;iconlist&quot;&gt;<br /> {{bp-p1|[[Buzz Saw (BW)#Legacy|Buzzsaw]]}}<br /> {{bp-a1|[[Nightprowler#Legacy|Autobot Nightprowler]]}}<br /> {{bp-p1|[[Sandstorm (BW)#Legacy|Predacon Sandstorm]]}}<br /> |<br /> <br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|&lt;u&gt;'''''Velocitron'' Deluxes Wave 1'''&lt;/u&gt;<br /> &lt;ul class=&quot;iconlist&quot;&gt;<br /> {{Bp-a1|[[Blurr (G1)/toys#Legacy|Blurr]]}}<br /> {{Bp-a1|[[Burn Out (Diaclone)#Legacy|Diaclone Universe Burn Out]]}}<br /> {{Bp-a1|[[Clampdown (G1)#Legacy|Diaclone Universe Clampdown]]}}<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;ul class=&quot;iconlist&quot;&gt;<br /> {{Bp-a1|[[Cosmos (G1)#Legacy|Autobot Cosmos]]}}<br /> {{Bp-a2|[[Road Rocket (G2)#Legacy|G2 Universe Road Rocket]]}}<br /> &lt;/ul&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|&lt;u&gt;'''''Velocitron'' Deluxes Wave 2'''&lt;/u&gt;<br /> &lt;ul class=&quot;iconlist&quot;&gt;<br /> {{Bp-d1|[[Crasher (G1)#Legacy|Decepticon Crasher]]}}<br /> {{Bp-d2|[[Shadowstrip#Legacy|G2 Universe Shadowstrip]]}}<br /> &lt;/ul&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; rowspan=3|[[File:TF-Legacy-Toxitron-Collection-Toxitron.jpg|thumb|250px|''Toxitron Collection'' [[Toxitron (Universe)#Legacy|G2 Universe Toxitron]]]]<br /> |-<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|&lt;u&gt;'''''Velocitron'' Voyagers Wave 1'''&lt;/u&gt;<br /> &lt;ul class=&quot;iconlist&quot;&gt;<br /> {{Bp-a1|[[Override (Cybertron)#Legacy|Cybertron Universe Override]]}}<br /> {{Bp-a1|[[Hauler#Legacy|Road Hauler]]}}<br /> &lt;/ul&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|&lt;u&gt;'''''Velocitron'' Voyagers Wave 2''' (cancelled)&lt;/u&gt;<br /> &lt;ul class=&quot;iconlist&quot;&gt;<br /> {{Bp-a1|[[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Velocitron|Autobot Hot Rod]]}}<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|&lt;u&gt;'''''Velocitron'' Leaders Wave 1'''&lt;/u&gt;<br /> &lt;ul class=&quot;iconlist&quot;&gt;<br /> {{Bp-cm|[[Scourge (RID)#Legacy|Robots in Disguise 2000&lt;br&gt;Universe Scourge]]}}<br /> &lt;/ul&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|&lt;u&gt;'''''Velocitron'' Leaders Wave 2'''&lt;/u&gt;<br /> &lt;ul class=&quot;iconlist&quot;&gt;<br /> {{Bp-a1|[[Galaxy Shuttle#Legacy|Victory Universe&lt;br&gt;Galaxy Shuttle]]}}<br /> &lt;/ul&gt;<br /> |-<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|&lt;u&gt;'''''Toxitron'' Deluxes'''&lt;/u&gt;<br /> &lt;ul class=&quot;iconlist&quot;&gt;<br /> {{bp-d2|[[Dead End (G1)#Toxitron|G2 Universe Dead End]]}}<br /> {{bp-a2|[[Jazz (G1)/toys#Legacy|G2 Universe Autobot Jazz]]}}<br /> {{bp-a2|[[Jazz (G1)/toys#LegacyLC|G2 Universe Laser Cycle]]}}<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;ul class=&quot;iconlist&quot;&gt;<br /> {{bp-a2|[[Mirage (G1)/toys#Legacy|G2 Universe Autobot Mirage]]}}<br /> {{bp-a2|[[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Legacy|G2 Universe Sideswipe]]}}<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|&lt;u&gt;'''''Toxitron'' Voyagers'''&lt;/u&gt;<br /> &lt;ul class=&quot;iconlist&quot;&gt;<br /> {{bp-d2|[[Cloudcover#Legacy|G2 Universe Cloudcover]]}}<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|&lt;u&gt;'''''Toxitron'' Leaders'''&lt;/u&gt;<br /> &lt;ul class=&quot;iconlist&quot;&gt;<br /> {{bp-a2|[[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Toxitron|G2 Universe Grimlock]]}}<br /> {{bp-d2|[[Toxitron (Universe)#Legacy|G2 Universe Toxitron]]}}<br /> |}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ====''Generations Selects''====<br /> Continuing on from the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'', the special edition ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' line offers redecoes catering to fans, sold through Hasbro Pulse and numerous other online retailers in the US and Canada.

But the TakaraTomy line is markedly smaller than Hasbro's, having omitted all of the package-refresh figures and the first-year Core Class figures (the Cores were eventually picked up again with the ''Evolution'' Dinobots, ''et al.''). On top of that, the list of [[exclusive]]s for the line released by TakaraTomy is much, much, ''much'' smaller, currently limited to only the first assortment of the ''Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection''.<br /> <br /> Beginning with Wave 9 (corresponding to Hasbro's ''Evolution'' imprint), TakaraTomy's bios began making reference to the characters' arrival in &quot;[[Legacy World]],&quot;

The ''Diaclone''-adjacent items in the ''Generations Selects'' and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lineups are not given the &quot;Diaclone Universe&quot; label. ''Velocitron'' Blurr is based ''extensively'' on a comic-original redesign but doesn't get the &quot;Comic Universe&quot; tag. Galaxy Shuttle gets &quot;Victory Universe&quot; on his packaging, but Metalhawk and Minerva don't get &quot;[[Fight!

Just roll with it.<br /> * Readers might notice that the original ''Robots in Disguise'' was released in 200'''''1'''''. However, ''Legacy'' basically treats both ''Robots in Disguise'' and the original Japanese version ''Car Robots'' as the same thing, and ''Car Robots'' was released in 2000. (Similarly, 2003 is considered the anniversary year for ''Armada''; while the toys first arrived in both the US and Japan in late 2002, the overwhelming bulk of product was released throughout 2003.)<br /> <br /> * In TakaraTomy's take on the line, everyone is established as visiting the &quot;[[Legacy World]]&quot; (レガシーワールド, alternatively &quot;Legacy Spacetime&quot; (レガシー時空) or &quot;Transformers Legacy World&quot; (トランスフォーマーレガシーワールド) in full). Their origin universe descriptions are largely similar, to the point of using Hasbro's names for the lines rather than their own (in line with their use of Hasbro's names for the characters), but there are still some notable differences:<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * Ancient Time Universe&lt;br&gt;(エンシェントタイムユニバース)&lt;!--Dia Burnout, Clampdown--&gt;<br /> * Armada Universe&lt;br&gt;(アルマダユニバース)&lt;!--Starscream--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * Comic Universe&lt;br&gt;(コミックユニバース)&lt;!--Blurr--&gt;<br /> * Cybertron Universe&lt;br&gt;(Cybertronユニバース)&lt;!--Override--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * G1 Multiverse&lt;br&gt;(G1マルチバース)&lt;!--Road Hauler--&gt;<br /> * G1 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G1ユニバース)&lt;!--Cosmos--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * G2 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G2ユニバース)&lt;!--Road Rocket, Shadowstrip--&gt;<br /> * Prime Spacetime&lt;br&gt;(プライム時空)&lt;!--Skyquake--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * RID Universe&lt;br&gt;(RIDユニバース)&lt;!--Scourge--&gt;<br /> *Victory Universe&lt;br&gt;(ビクトリーユニバース)&lt;!--Galaxy Shuttle--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> :* The change from &quot;Diaclone&quot; to &quot;Ancient Time Universe&quot; is because TakaraTomy has a concurrently-running ''Diaclone'' revival line entirely separate from ''Transformers'' (focusing on the original pre-''Car Robot'' aesthetic).<br /> <br /> ===Other notes===<br /> * [[Emiliano Santalucia]] was responsible for the concept art of the various &quot;energon weapons&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;Then you will actually see the concept art Emiliano Santalucia drew up even before we had the rollout of characters planned for the year. I think this will provide great insight for all yall as alot of the planning for weapon combinations was to obviously utilize our 5mm peg across all scales but this was all sold in before character selects were figured out. -[https://www.instagram.com/p/CfEo07gO0H7/ Mark Maher on Legacy Energon weapons, 2022/6/21]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Prior to the toyline's reveal in October 2021, much of its roster was found through internal online listings from retailers such as [[Target]].<br /> * Some toy listings featured &quot;Evolution&quot; as part of the toyline's name in its first year,&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/181712 BigBadToyStore] listing : &quot;Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Voyager Wave 1 Set of 2 Figures&quot; (outdated, &quot;Evolution&quot; has since been removed)&lt;/ref&gt; far before the ''Evolution'' branding was officially introduced.<br /> * Much like 2022's ''[[Studio Series]]'' lineup, Leader Class toys feature window-less packaging, which allows for expanded [[package art|artwork]]. The others largely utilize the same minimized window and plastic tray-less boxes from the previous line, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'', though with many hard-to-stack (but cool!) angles for the sides and no plastic window.<br /> ** The lack of a plastic window in the packaging has led to several drawbacks, most prominently the lack of support offered by the plastic window makes the packaging more susceptible to stress-based wear-and-tear, as well as tampering with the figures inside such as pushing Voyager Bulkhead's head into his chest cavity, making it appear as though the figure is missing his head.<br /> * Due to the polarizing reception to the Generation-1-fied redesigns of ''Prime'' characters, Hasbro announced they were trying to find a better balance between preserving the original designs for non-G1 characters whilst updating them for the current aesthetic for later toys, particularly the ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' character updates,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: For Legacy Animated stuff, would they be in the original style or more G1-ified like the TFP toys? A: The latter, however they have heard the stylization feedback about the TFP figures, so they are working on trying to find a better balance regarding G1-ification.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about Animated updates in Legacy]&lt;/ref&gt; and has not ruled out on ''[[Studio Series]]'' for more accurate redos of ''Prime'' characters.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: Could we also see more accurate versions of them and the TFP characters in Studio Series though? A: Entirely possible, they’re talking about expanding Studio Series beyond movies.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about more accurate redos of Prime characters]&lt;/ref&gt; Come ''Legacy: Evolution'', the new ''Animated'' Prowl showed off this new approach, being basically the original design, just made more boxy. Meanwhile, ''Prime'' Skyquake ended up as a pretty even blend between the ''Prime'' and [[Skyquake (G1)|original Skyquake]] visually, while the ''Armada'' characters added to the line all had sculpts that were ''incredibly'' faithful to their original iterations (minus loads of gimmicks, of course, but the visuals were there).<br /> * The original listings included a lot of entries titled &quot;[[Energon]] Monster&quot;. As per Hasbro designer Mark Maher's Instagram post, these [[Fossilizer]] / [[Weaponizer]] style Core and Deluxe toys were dropped eventually, and last minute the [[Pretenders]] were approved to fill in these empty slots. Hence the different size classes between Skullgrin, Bomb-Burst and Iguanus.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.instagram.com/p/ChXxl3gumjK/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY= Mark Maher - Instagram]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * A ''Legacy'' animated series, conceptualized as a sequel to the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' cartoon, was in the discussion stage at one point, but [[Netflix]] passed on the pitch,&lt;ref&gt;{{citesocial|quote=Per FJ DeSanto: they had a series for Transformers Legacy planned out, but Netflix passed on it. #TFconLA|link=https://twitter.com/MikeSibertRadio/status/1502847896458170375|name=Mike Seibert|site=Twitter|year=2022|month=3|day=13|(defunct=)}}&lt;/ref&gt; as it didn't fit with Netflix's mandates at the time.

His power is backed up by a brain that doesn't exactly run at optimal speeds; he's not so much stupid as he is single-minded and easily frustrated, although [[Pokeformers|his tendency to shout his own name repeatedly as a sort of battle cry]] doesn't do much to refute his reputation as a knucklehead. In battle he is merciless, an unyielding engine of destruction.<br /> <br /> He is unquestionably loyal to Megatron and his ideals and will quickly sign up with anyone that promises power to the Decepticon cause. He may or may not have a [[Deathsaurus (G1)|soft spot for children]].&lt;ref&gt;One of the ''Super Link'' [[commercial bumper]]s features Mirage introducing himself, then telling the good little children out there that it's nice to meet them.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave's [[Mini-Con]] partner is [[Ramjet (Armada)|Ramjet]].<br /> <br /> {{quote|Tidal Wave...Tidal Wave...|Tidal Wave, too many times to properly source}}<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===Toy pack-in comics===<br /> [[File:Armada V4 Tidal Wave.jpg|left|thumb]]<br /> On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Tidal Wave rescued [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] when the [[Decepticon]] leader was being transported to prison. The two combined, and their power was too much for [[Overload (Armada)|Overload]] and [[Rollout (Armada)|Rollout]] to handle. Their battle was cut short when Ramjet pointed out the gigantic form of [[Unicron]] in the sky. {{Storylink|Armada Volume 4}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon V4 Decepticons.jpg|thumb]]<br /> As part of [[Eclipse-Team]], Mirage was assigned to patrol the exterior of an Autobot [[energon]] refinery plant while his team-mates [[Sharkticon (Energon)|Sharkticon]] and [[Slugslinger (Energon)|Slugslinger]] plundered the resources within. The plan quickly went awry and when Slugslinger called in Mirage for reinforcement, Mirage was swatted by [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]] for his troubles. The mission was a complete failure. {{Storylink|Energon Volume 3}}<br /> <br /> In another battle, Mirage, along with [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]], [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat]], and [[Shockblast]], were sicced on a weakened [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], but were blasted away by [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]]. {{storylink|Energon Volume 4}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===Cartoon continuity===<br /> ====''Armada'' cartoon====<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Doug Parker]] (English), [[Jin Yamanoi]] (Japanese)|[[Arto Nieminen]] (Finnish), [[Matti Klemm]] (German), [[Enrico Pallini]] (Italian), [[Jorge Saudinós]] (Castilian Spanish), [[Márcio Simões]] (Brazilian Portuguese), [[Armando Volcanes]] (Latin-American Spanish), [[Guy de La Berg]] (Swedish)}}<br /> <br /> [[File:ArmadaTidalShockwave.jpg|thumb|left|220px]]<br /> After leading the Decepticons to victory on the planet [[Dabola]], {{storylink|Awakening (Armada)|Awakening}} Tidal Wave was brought to [[Earth]] by the Decepticon strategist [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] in an attempt to bolster [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s forces. He passed [[Neptune]] on his way to [[Earth]], {{storylink|Detection}} before coming upon the Autobots and Decepticons locked in a beachfront battle. Thrust's claims of Tidal Wave's prowess initially conflicted with the newcomer's... lack of grace. This was exemplified when [[Hot Shot (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Hot Shot]] and [[Blurr (Armada)|Blurr]] capsized the huge warship and sent it to the bottom of the deep. However, Tidal Wave quickly recovered by transforming into his massively powerful [[robot mode]] and quickly sent the Autobots scrambling for cover. {{storylink|Awakening (Armada)|Awakening}}<br /> [[File:ArmTVTidalWave.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Crumbs, chief.]]<br /> Pounding the Autobots with firepower, Thrust called out to Tidal Wave to initiate his party piece. Tidal Wave transformed and split into three component vehicle sections (which somehow shrank in size), headed for Megatron and Powerlinxed with him, forming a combination known as ''Burning Megatron''. Megatron declared that &quot;The Power is Mine!&quot; before setting off in pursuit of Jet Optimus. Tidal Wave gave Megatron flight capability and an overwhelming amount of firepower which kept Jet Optimus at bay long enough for Megatron to slice the connection point between Optimus Prime and [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] with the Star Saber. However, Optimus Prime managed to obtain the [[Requiem Blaster (Armada)|Requiem Blaster]] and used it to injure both Tidal Wave and Megatron, forcing the Decepticons to retreat {{storylink|Desperate}} to the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] for repairs. {{storylink|Runaway}}<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave later participated in the Decepticons' operation to steal the Blaster. When the Decepticons learned the Autobots had not brought the super-weapon into the open, Megatron had Tidal Wave abandon Starscream on the battlefield and combined with him to attack the undermanned enemy headquarters. There, Megatron used the extra power Tidal Wave granted him to take the Requiem Blaster by force. {{storylink|Sacrifice}} After Starscream cracked and attacked Megatron, Tidal Wave was sent after him to Earth when the rogue Decepticon jet escaped their moon base with the Star Saber in his possession. The Autobots initially assumed both Decepticons were part of a combined attack, but eventually came to Starscream's assistance against Tidal Wave when the Decepticon shot him down. Hot Shot nailed Tidal Wave in the eye with his axle cannon but the powerful Tidal Wave recovered quickly and caused problems for Jet Optimus, who couldn't so much as scratch him. This prompted Starscream to toss the Star Saber to the Autobot leader which he used to slice off one of Tidal Wave's chest guns and forced the Decepticon to retreat again. {{storylink|Regeneration (Armada)|Regeneration}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Desperate Tidal Wave blocked.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave was present when Starscream led the Autobots into the heart of the Decepticon base to liberate the captive Mini-Cons. He handily took down Side Swipe, then moved to the chamber where the [[Hydra Cannon]] was under construction to prevent the Mini-Cons from being lost to the Autobots. On the way, he encountered [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]] and Hot Shot, the latter of whom distracted him long enough for the former to penetrate deeper into the Decepticon base.<br /> <br /> Though Hot Shot fought hard, Tidal Wave was simply too big and powerful for the young 'bot to defeat alone, so he fled to the construction room with Tidal Wave in hot pursuit. Tidal Wave arrived just in time to see the Mini-Cons flee with Perceptor. [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] then arrived and the two fought for a while before the Autobots retreated, their objectives achieved. {{storylink|Rescue}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Rescue tidal wave kicked.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4]]<br /> <br /> Megatron then sent Tidal Wave to [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] as part of a trap for Starscream and Jetfire. He beat up Starscream in the sky, but lost him in a dust storm. He encountered both the Autobots, as well as their Mini-Cons, shortly thereafter in orbit where they had located [[Firebot (Armada)|Firebot]]. Megatron and Thrust arrived to help him at this point, but all three were forced back when the three Mini-Con weapons reacted to their close proximity, and unleashed a powerful wave of energy. {{storylink|Mars (episode)|Mars}}<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave participated in the attack during which Starscream returned to the Decepticons, bringing the Star Saber and Skyboom Shield with him. Once again, he fought Hot Shot and Jet Optimus. {{storylink|Crack (episode)|Crack}} When Optimus Prime and Jetfire arrived to stop the Decepticon ship from unleashing the power of the [[Hydra Cannon]] against Earth, Tidal Wave was able to use cloaking technology to sneak up on the Autobot leader. He then proceeded to pin down Optimus, only for Jetfire to throw Starscream at him, allowing Optimus to wrestle free from his grasp. Nonetheless, thanks to Tidal Wave's and the other Decepticons' efforts, Optimus was forced to sacrifice himself to stop the super-weapon's blast from reaching the planet.{{storylink|Crisis (Armada)|Crisis}} Tidal Wave later combined with Megatron to defeat Side Swipe, {{storylink|Miracle}} and again when they found themselves on [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]]'s world. Despite being combined with his leader, Tidal Wave was not given a power boost or new colors when the Mini-Cons repaired Megatron and the others who had been severely damaged by the dark clone. {{storylink|Puppet}} He presumably took part in Galvatron's conquest of Cybertron {{storylink|Uprising (Armada)|Uprising}} and later tried, with only partial success, to prevent Hot Shot from getting close to Galvatron. {{storylink|Dash (episode)|Dash}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Cramp galvatron tidalwave.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3]]<br /> <br /> After that, Tidal Wave was assigned a squad to Decepticons and sent to clear an area of Autobots. He engaged Jetfire during this time, calling the Autobot a &quot;show-off&quot;. {{storylink|Portent}} He again combined with Megatron when the Decepticon leader decided to approach Optimus Prime for some... aggressive negotiations. Jetfire managed to keep him occupied single-handedly during this time. {{storylink|Cramp}}<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave attended the meeting during which the Autobots and Decepticons formed a temporary truce to combat the menace of [[Unicron]], notably shaking hands with Jetfire. {{storylink|Alliance}} After this, he combined with Galvatron in order to kill the traitorous Thrust, and then, with the similarly combined Optimus Prime and Jetfire, helped his commander penetrate deep into the core of Unicron, while he doubled back to keep the titan occupied. {{storylink|Union}} Though Tidal Wave participated on the final assault on Unicron, his efforts proved unnecessary; once Galvatron sacrificed himself to the dark god, there was no longer enough hatred in the universe to sustain Unicron, and he vanished from existence. The Transformers' war now at an end, Tidal Wave and his fellow Cybertronians stood united as a race, and begun rebuilding their war-torn planet. {{storylink|Mortal Combat}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====''Linkage''====<br /> At the climax of the Unicron Battles, Tidal Wave fought side by side with Overload against the malicious planet 'bot and his followers. {{storylink|Linkage Part 13}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====''Energon'' cartoon====<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Doug Parker]] (English), [[Jin Yamanoi]] (Japanese)|[[Anders Öjebo]] (Swedish), [[Gábor Forgács]] (Hungarian), [[Bruno Lähteenmäki]] (Finnish), [[Enrico Pallini]] (Italian), [[Jorge Saudinós]] (Castilian Spanish), [[Armando Volcanes]] (Latin-American Spanish)}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon-Tidal-Wave-Meets-Scorponok.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66]]<br /> After the end of the Unicron Battles, Tidal Wave loyally followed Galvatron's last request—that the Decepticons remain at peace with the Autobots. During the ten-year period that followed, Tidal Wave somewhere along the line changed not only his color palette but also his occupation—instead of being a warrior, he was now a guardian of the [[energon]] mines in the Solar System's asteroid belt.<br /> <br /> [[File:Energonep3 shock shock shock.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave's post was one of the first targets of the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] hordes. {{storylink|Cybertron City (episode)|Cybertron City}} After being attacked and abducted, {{storylink|Energon Stars}} he was brought to [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] and [[Alpha Quintesson]]'s base of operations where they convinced him to side with them by promising to revive Megatron, a deal which Tidal Wave eagerly agreed to despite clearly disliking Scorponok. He began by attacking the energon-mining facility at Desert City and managed to obtain a large amount of energon before being driven back by the Autobots. He attempted to retreive a dropped raw energon star from one of the fallen Terrorcons which resulted in him being painfully shocked, leaving perminent, lightning-like scars across his body.{{storylink|Scorpinok (episode)|Scorpinok}} At some point thereafter, he met up with Cyclonus somewhere in space and gave him a quick run-down on the situation. Cyclonus liked the idea of reviving Megatron, but was skeptical that this goal could actually be achieved and continued to Earth.<br /> <br /> After that, Tidal Wave led a force of Terrorcons to attack [[Mars City]] and steal its energon. Due to the city's weak defenses, he was able to grab all its energon and slaughter most of its guards and inhabitants before leaving.<br /> <br /> [[File:E4 Tidal Wave.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]<br /> Fresh from this success, he led an attack on [[Plains City]] alongside Scorponok where he faced off against his old allies Cyclonus and Demolishor. They were again repelled after a fierce battle against the Autobots, but this time Cyclonus came with them, having seen that Scorponok possessed [[Energon Sword|Megatron's sword]] and thus concluding that Megatron could be brought back to life with reasonable effort. {{storylink|Megatron's Sword}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon-Cyclonus-Galvatron-Corpse.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave, Cyclonus, and Scorponok returned to Unicron's body where Tidal Wave showed Megatron's corpse to Cyclonus. After Cyclonus hitting the corpse failed to resurrect it, he and Tidal Wave began to question Scorponok over whether or not it was possible to bring Megatron back, given what state he was in. They were dismissively ordered to simply keep at their Energon-gathering tasks. Tidal Wave's team then tried to raid a recently discovered Energon vein in some snow mountains, but were driven away when the Autobots warped in an [[Cybertron City (city)|entire city]] atop of it. {{Storylink|The New Cybertron City}}<br /> <br /> After this, the Autobots upgraded all their defenses around their energon sources, leading to a series of defeats for the Decepticons under Alpha Q's control. In frustration, Cyclonus kicked Megatron's corpse a few times in proxy revenge for all the times he'd mistreated them. Tidal Wave begged him not to do that and verbally defended Megatron when their leader's disembodied voice demanded that they treat him with more respect.<br /> <br /> [[File:Decepticons Megatron Resurrected.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]<br /> Seeing that Megatron's spark was causing trouble, Scorponok attempted to kill him outright but only succeeded in resurrecting him in a new body; at this, Tidal Wave was overjoyed and gleefully helped Megatron take control of Unicron's body from Alpha Q. He then followed Megatron in another attack on Plains City, during which Hot Shot lost an arm. {{storylink|Megatron Resurrected}} After this, they returned to their base where Tidal Wave was assigned to guard the recently inducted Scorponok. Scorponok wondered why Megatron didn't kill Optimus Prime in their last sortie and Tidal Wave told him to figure it out - in the event that he did, the rest of the Decepticons would start to trust him.<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon-Decepticons-Flee-Tower.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]<br /> Tidal Wave later took part in the Decepticon mission to [[Ocean City]], during which Demolishor returned to their ranks {{storylink|Megatron Raid}} for another raid on [[Moon (moon)|Earth's moon]]. {{storylink|Starscream the Mysterious Mercenary}} He also accompanied the Decepticons in their next attack on Ocean City, attacking from beneath the water but was like everyone else, repelled by the [[energon tower]]'s ''Autobot-flavored'' energon. {{storylink|Energon Tower (episode)|Energon Tower}} He was present when Megatron, for the first and only time, used the powers he gained from Unicron to restore Starscream's loyalty to the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Legend of Rodimus}}<br /> <br /> After this, he observed a force of Alpha Q's Terrorcons investigating [[Jungle City]], and reasoned that there was probably energon to be had. The Decepticons attacked and made off with as much energon as they could, during which Tidal Wave attempted to destroy the energon tower. On this occasion, most of their efforts went to waste when the Autobots exploded the city to prevent the Decepticons from getting the energon, but the 'Cons still came out ahead. {{storylink|Crisis in Jungle City}}<br /> <br /> He also took part in an attempt to capture [[Kicker Jones|Kicker]]. {{storylink|Kicker Beware!}} When this failed, Megatron got the idea that chucking some giant comet-shaped lumps of Unicron at Earth would obliterate the Autobots and assigned Tidal Wave to lead the efforts in pushing them across the gulf of space. Tidal Wave explained to Scorponok that this slow procession would scare the humans much more than having the projectiles appear near their planet without warning.<br /> <br /> However, Megatron's grand plan just gave the humans and Autobots time to prepare and so the plan failed miserably. All the Decepticons fled back to Unicron. {{storylink|Energon Grid (episode)| Energon Grid}} Following this, Megatron ordered them to find Alpha Q, who would be the next potential target for retrieving a lot of energon. Demolishor and Tidal Wave protested that this would be nigh impossible, but Megatron would have none of it. Just before trying to track him down, Tidal Wave and Starscream were responsible for seeing that Scorponok took all his energon back to Megatron and didn't try to skim any off the top for Alpha Q. {{storylink|Rodimus Friend or Foe?}}<br /> <br /> He later took part in a plan to lure out Alpha Q, using Scorponok as bait. However, it was [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]] who came to Scorponok's rescue. All the Decepticons present, Tidal Wave among them, exchanged fire with Rodimus's team and retreated when Megatron was injured. {{storylink|Go for Unicron!}} Some time after this battle, he received a message from Snow Cat that he had found energon on an icy planet and so the Decepticons set off in pursuit. He attacked the ''[[Miranda II]]'' alongside Megatron and, after making some initial gains, the two were forced back by Alpha Q's new [[Cruellock]] drones.<br /> <br /> Still, this event ended well for Tidal Wave and the Decepticons. The Autobot's used the ''Miranda II's'' [[Energon Ring]] to destroy the Terrorcons, allowing the Decepticons to take all the planet's energon. {{storylink|The Return of Demolishor}} After that, he took part in a rather half-hearted attack on the ''Miranda II'' in deep space, and was again driven off. {{storylink|A Tale of Two Heros}} After that, the Autobots under Optimus Prime decided to attack Unicron and so the Decepticons went to defend their base, Tidal Wave paying particular attention to Optimus Prime. After fighting for a while, both Unicron and the ''Miranda II'' arrived at Cybertron where both sides fell back to regroup. {{storylink|Battle Stations}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon-Shockblast-Rides-Tidal-Wave.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4]]<br /> <br /> With the arrival of Unicron, Cybertron erupted into chaos. Megatron decided to recruit the unstable and dangerous Shockblast, who was currently imprisoned by the Autobot/Decepticon coalition for having refused to lay down his arms when the two factions made peace. Knowing of Shockblast's disregard for the lives of his fellow Decepticons, Tidal Wave vehemently opposed this plan, but to no avail. {{storylink|Alpha Q: Identity}} Shockblast [[radio]]ed Megatron regarding a cache of energon big enough to revive Unicron, and thus despite his objections to trusting Shockblast, Tidal Wave was assigned to lead a team to this location.<br /> <br /> As soon as they met, Shockblast immediately took charge of the operation, sending the Decepticons to smash various towers. Tidal Wave refused to obey him and the two began squabbling with Shockblast actually using Tidal Wave as a flying surfboard from which to shoot down Autobots. Megatron ordered the Decepticons to bring Shockblast to him and, his loyalty to Megatron being greater than his hatred of Shockblast, Tidal Wave reluctantly did so. {{storylink|Shockblast: Rampage}}<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave kept up his dislike and distrust of Shockblast, even going so far as to blame him for Unicron's highly destructive pangs of hunger. {{storylink|Survival Instincts}} When Unicron had been sated, Megatron sent the surviving Decepticons to destroy Cybertron's energy grid with Shockblast in command; Tidal Wave chafed at this, but still obeyed his commander. Shockblast ended up getting in over his head and so Tidal Wave tried to rescue him, getting hit by a falling energon tower in the process. {{storylink|Each One Fights...}} After this, Megatron rebuilt him as Mirage, a much smaller and sleeker form.<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon-Mirage-1st-Appearance.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66]]<br /> <br /> Mirage's first mission in his new body was to lead a large force of Terrorcons down to Cybertron as a distraction to allow Shockblast to sneak in with the main force. The plan worked and, despite Shockblast's incompetence, Unicron was restored to functionality. {{storylink|Unicron Unleashed}} The Autobots retaliated and Mirage helped defend Unicron. {{storylink|Open Fire!}} In the aftermath he helped Starscream save Megatron from Shockblast's attempted coup and then followed Megatron into the rift in space that had opened up in the meantime. {{storylink|Ripped Up Space}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon-Mirage-Unleashed.jpeg|right|thumb|upright=1.66|I got smaller after my upgrade?]]<br /> <br /> Mirage followed Megatron when he destroyed the first of Alpha Q's planets and also when they took a large amount of energon from [[Iron Planet]] while deliberately not helping the imprisoned Shockblast. {{storylink|Protection}} He then accompanied Megatron on his secret mission to Iron Planet. There, Mirage advised Megatron not to release Shockblast; Megatron agreed, threatening to 'rewire' the traitor which inspired Shockblast to offer to capture an Autobot as proof of his loyalty. Megatron did release Shockblast at this, above Mirage's objections; Mirage's fears on this particular occasion proves groundless as Shockblast did indeed capture [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]], allowing Megatron to forcibly turn him into a Decepticon. {{storylink|Imprisoned Inferno}}<br /> <br /> When Scorponok went to harvest the energon from [[Jungle Planet (Energon)|Jungle Planet]], Mirage was among those who distracted the Autobots from this mission. {{storylink|Jungle Planet (episode)|Jungle Planet}} Mirage took part in the Decepticons' attempt to steal Jungle Planet's Energon before an energon tower was activated there. They met with failure. {{storylink|Bulkhead (episode)|Bulkhead}}<br /> <br /> Some time later, he took part in the attack on the Autobot base on Ocean Planet, approaching the base of the energon tower from underwater and destroying it. The Autobots brought in another tower to Ocean Planet, and Mirage tried once more to destroy it, but this time was met by an Autobot team waiting for him underwater. They foiled Mirage's attempt at toppling this second tower, and the Decepticons were forced to flee as the [[energon grid]] came online. {{storylink|Farewell Inferno}} ''When [[Planet Q]] was restored, Mirage was one of those sent to guard the palace in case Scorponok should get in and regain his memories, but was smashed out of the way by [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]]. As it turned out, however, they needn't have bothered. {{storylink|Return! Our Scorponok}}''<br /> <br /> He later took part in another defense of Unicron against the Autobots, and was this time defeated by the presence of [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]] and the timely arrival of Inferno, now rebuilt as Roadblock, with a huge number of energon towers. {{storylink|Omega Supreme (episode)|Omega Supreme}} He remained with Unicron and again fought to defend the chaos bringer's body from those who would destroy it, successfully doing so long enough for Megatron to reattach the Planet-Eater's head to its body. {{storylink|A Heroic Battle}}<br /> <br /> Optimus used the new powers granted to him by his combination with Omega Supreme to toss Snow Cat and Mirage around like rag dolls as he made his way towards Megatron's throne room. As soon as the pair recovered, they were hounded by a team of Autobots led by Hot Shot, leaving them unable to help Megatron gather the last bit of Energon he needed to fully awaken Unicron. Then... the voice of the Decepticon leader was heard throughout the planet, declaring Megatron was no more: Unicron was now in command of the Decepticon's body! {{storylink|The Power of Unicron}} Mirage, Snow Cat, and Demolishor struggled to escape the planet-eater's internal defenses. They failed, and ended up bound to Unicron's surface by energy-tendrils, giving them a front-row seat for Unicron/Megatron's battle with the giant-size, [[Primus]]-empowered Optimus Supreme. {{storylink|Optimus Supreme}} Fortunately for them, they were freed by a barrage of Autobot fire moments before Optimus destroyed Unicron, and captured by [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]]. {{storylink|Unicron Perishes}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Snow Cat Ballerina.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]<br /> Mirage, Snow Cat, and Demolishor were summarily put in prison where they shared a block with Six Shot. ''Oddly enough, given their history'', Mirage didn't seem to bear Six Shot any of the hatred he had for his brother. The four jailbirds were eventually released by Starscream. {{storylink|Ambition}} During the jailbreak, Mirage was separated from the others, but soon found them again. Not seeing any Autobots around, they just decided to blow up whatever was convenient. After a while, the others left him to attend to various tasks, leaving Mirage and Snow Cat to carry on creating chaos. {{storylink|Wishes}}<br /> [[File:Energon-Mirage-Galvatron!.jpg|thumb|200px]]<br /> After Six Shot collapsed the energon towers and flooded Cybertron with ''Decepticon-flavored'' energon gas, Mirage and Snow Cat rejoined the rest of the Decepticons in their commandeered control room, where they along with Demolishor were ready and willing to express their disdain for Six Shot when he activated the base defenses to fire on the ''Miranda II'' without Galvatron's express permission. {{storylink|Galvatron!}}<br /> <br /> The Autobots were soon to find a way to break through the gas shroud and return to Cybertron; Mirage took part in the battle that followed, which concluded with the Autobots escaping underground. {{storylink|Break Through}}<br /> <br /> At some point in time, both Mirage and a digital duplicate of his &quot;Tidal Wave&quot; body were among the Decepticons who hacked into an Autobot virtual training program that took the form of a tag-team fighting tournament. They lost their very first match against Hot Shot and Rodimus, but stuck around to watch Superion Maximus get thrashed by Bruticus Maximus and Constructicon Maximus later in the tournament. {{storylink|Distribution}}<br /> <br /> Mirage, Demolishor, and Snow Cat followed Rad and [[Brian Jones|Dr. Jones]] to the energon core, having been misdirected by Starscream into thinking this was the location of the Super Energon pool. Dr. Jones led Snow Cat and Demolishor off to find the actual pool, leaving Mirage to guard Rad. {{storylink|The Omega Train}} After a while, [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]] and Kicker arrived on a rescue mission. Arcee fired an [[energon star]] at [[Primus]], temporarily re-energising the deity and causing it to drive Mirage out. {{storylink|Ironhide Team}} Mirage then rejoined the Decepticons to shoot Autobots on the surface. The Decepticons turned to the business of using the energon towers to move Cybertron through space, through the rift back to Alpha Q's realm. Mirage helped battle the Autobots as the planet moved through the rift, and later tried to defend the towers against Autobot attack. Both efforts were undermined by Six Shot's pettiness and insubordination, and Cybertron was brought to a halt. {{storylink|Formidable}}<br /> <br /> Following this battle, the Decepticons retreated and Mirage, along with Demolishor and Snow Cat, was assigned to guard the unreliable Six Shot. Having apparently become stupider since his upgrade, Mirage and friends took seriously Six Shot's suggestion that they go and claim some super energon for themselves, and so they ran off and let their prisoner escape.<br /> <br /> [[File:Snow Cat and Mirage.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]<br /> Six Shot managed to trap them and they were once again rescued by Starscream. The four blasted their way into the control room, only to find Six Shot was long gone. Then, thanks to [[Sally Jones|Sally]] who had since infiltrated the Decepticons' control room, the Autobots arrived to take control of the Decepticon base. Mirage despaired at how Galvatron had left them to their own devices in a distinctly soap operatic manner. {{storylink|Galvatron Terror}} He was impressed when Galvatron became a giant after immersing himself for a second time in the super energon pool. Mirage helped his fellow Decepticons make war against the Autobots even as the now Unicron-sized Galvatron took to space, fluttering about like skirmishing insects around the colossus. {{storylink|Destructive Power}}<br /> <br /> Mirage was left unable to contribute further to the conflict when Optimus channeled Unicron's essence to grow in size and match Galvatron in stature. As the two titans crashed down on Jungle Planet, Mirage tried to step in anyways, only to be stopped by Starscream, who assured him his leader wouldn't want them to interfere even if they could. {{storylink|Spark (episode)|Spark}} When Galvatron flung himself into the energon sun to destroy Unicron's spark, ''Mirage loyally followed after him and seemingly ended his life''. {{storylink|The Sun}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Gayforgalvatron.jpg|750px|thumb|center|&lt;center&gt;''Pretty Soldier Sailor Mirage.&lt;/center&gt;]]<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===Dreamwave ''Armada'' continuity===<br /> ====''Armada'' comic====<br /> Tidal Wave was among the Decepticon troops allied with the Autobots and Mini-Cons during the battle against Unicron. He clutched his head in agony when the Chaos Bringer appeared and declared that this reality would be consumed. {{storylink|The End (Armada)|The End}}<br /> <br /> ====''Energon'' comic====<br /> Millions of years ago, Tidal Wave captured [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]] and coerced him into building [[seismic-shock warhead]]s for the Decepticons, which Megatron would use as a last resort to destroy the planet should he lose the war. Whenever Ironhide refused, an Autobot prisoner of war was executed. {{storylink|Aftershock (issue)|Aftershock}}<br /> <br /> Ten years after the defeat of Unicron, Tidal Wave felt ill-at-ease during peacetime, and was recruited by [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] into joining the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]]. Starscream came upon the group and openly mocked them during a cathartic exercise, wherein they unloaded their weaponry into the open. Tidal Wave and Scorponok sent Starscream tumbling into a ore processor to be crushed, though Tidal Wave's leg was injured in the process. The other Terrorcons brought him before their master, and Tidal Wave met with Alpha Quintesson for the first time. His benefactor healed his wounds and granted him an upgraded &quot;hyper-mode,&quot; boosting his offensive capabilities. The Terrorcons were then dispatched to Earth, in order to retrieve the energon that lay there, and revive Unicron. {{storylink|This Evil Reborn}}<br /> <br /> On Earth, the Terrorcons attacked an [[Alterenergy]] excavation/drilling operation site. Tidal Wave and Insecticon began setting up Energon siphons when the humans retaliated by sending several fighter jets their way. To Tidal Wave's chagrin, the other Terrorcons got to destroy them all while he prepped their equipment. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath}} Once that distraction had been dealt with, Scorponok made it known that he planned to gather Energon for himself, and only deliver his table scraps to Unicron. Though Tidal Wave disagreed with short-changing their master, he was too intimidated by Scorponok to speak up about it. He later alerted Scorponok to the return of Battle Ravage, who had caught the humans [[Kicker Jones|Kicker]] and [[Alexis Thi Dang|Alexis]] while on a hunt. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Two}} Scorponok took immediate interest in Kicker Jones, as his analysis of the boy indicated that he could detect Energon from afar. Tidal Wave doubted that Kicker was anything special, but Scorponok reminded him that he wasn't on his team to think. Optimus Prime and his Autobots then traveled to Earth to battle the Terrorcons. Tidal Wave and his compatriots powered themselves with pure Energon before the battle, giving them an extra edge. Though the Terrorcons easily outclassed their opponents, they stopped short of destroying them when one of their Energon siphons was destroyed; Scorponok ordered his soldiers to retreat, so they could salvage as much Energon as possible. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Three}}<br /> <br /> After coercing Kicker to find them another Energon vein, Scorponok left Tidal Wave behind to guard the siphons while he dealt with the Autobots. Hot Shot managed to get passed the other Terrorcons, and rescued Kicker alongside [[Skyblast (Energon)|Skyblast]] and [[Strongarm (Energon)|Strongarm]]. The Autobots then fled, leaving Tidal Wave with the Energon canisters... which contained impure and highly volatile Energon. The stockpile detonated, and Tidal Wave was later forcibly retrieved from Earth so that Alpha Quintesson could discipline him for his failure. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Four}} <br /> <br /> Tidal Wave attacked Ironhide and [[Cliffjumper (Energon)|Cliffjumper]] while they were overseeing the construction of a new base on Cybertron. Using Cliffjumper's life as leverage, he forced Ironhide to reactivate the seismic-shock warheads for Scorponok's scheme to use on Earth. Ironhide foiled Tidal Wave when he armed the doomsday weapon, with the cold threat of destroying Cybertron rather than allowing the Decepticons destroy Earth. Tidal Wave panicked and left through a space bridge. {{storylink|Aftershock (issue)|Aftershock}}<br /> <br /> While the other Decepticons and Terrorcons thought little of Tidal Wave, [[Alpha Quintesson]], however, saw something in him, and reformatted him into Mirage, noting as he did so that Scorponok had fallen out of [[Unicron]]'s favor. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 2}} Mirage, Slugslinger, and Sharkticon then tracked down Kicker and the Omnicons to the shores of the Black Sea and attacked, intent on once more capturing the energon-detecting boy. {{storylink|Multiplicity}} Mirage dominated the Omnicons on the battlefield, easily beating down both Skyblast and Arcee simultaneously while his acolytes took care of the other enemy 'bots. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 2}} Mirage believed his victory was assured. As he readied to finish off Strongarm, Sharkticon rose up from the nearby body of water... and went belly up. Kicker burst forth from the aquatic Decepticon, charged with incredible power from the subterranean energon well beneath them. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 3}} As Alpha Quintesson had instructed him to capture Kicker alive, Mirage was at a loss as to how he should handle this unexpected turn of events. While he hesitated, Kicker used his energon-manipulating abilities to revive the Omnicons to full strength. Now suddenly outgunned, Mirage and Slugslinger fled, leaving Sharkticon to fend for himself. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 4}}<br /> <br /> {{Unreleased energon comic}}<br /> Mirage fell in with Megatron after the Decepticon leader was resurrected, but was of the opinion that Megatron had lost his edge. He shared his thoughts on the matter with [[Shockblast]], and though the other Decepticon rebuked him, he secretly agreed with Mirage. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 2}}<br /> <br /> ===MegaWing Galvatron instructions===<br /> In [[Aurex 304.0 Epsilon|one universe]], Tidal Wave could combine with Galvatron and [[Dreadwind (RID)|Dreadwind]] and [[Smokejumper]] to form Dark MegaWing Galvatron {{storylink|The Official Transformers Collectors' Club Magazine issue 1|MegaWing Galvatron instructions}} using the [[Spark of Combination]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime}}<br /> <br /> ===''Kre-O'' online comic===<br /> [[File:Tidal_Wave_Kre-O_Character_Image.png|thumb|upright=0.5|Tidal Wave, Tidal Wave]]<br /> Tidal Wave was among the Decepticons present during Megatron's brief takeover of [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. {{storylink|Two Giant Bases!

They escaped just in time to avoid being crushed as Tidal Wave transformed into his titanic robot mode.<br /> <br /> Tidal Wave walked around the island chain in the deep waters, unloading volleys of missiles, lasers, and the occasional [[Jet Laser]] on the tiny-by-comparison Autobots.

All three can combine to form a single gigantic warship, which from there can transform to [[robot mode]] ''without'' having to separate. Each smaller craft has its own [[gimmick]]; the carrier has a working storage elevator for Tidal Wave's [[Mini-Con]] partner [[Ramjet (Armada)#Toys|Ramjet]], the battleship can launch two projectiles and has Mini-Con [[Powerlinx]]-activated swiveling cannons (also usable in robot mode), and the landing craft opens up to reveal seats for Mini-Cons to sit on. The Powerlinx-activated cannons on the battleship section are also ratcheted separately from the gimmick, allowing you to position them in any direction you want.

In ''Legends of the Microns'', his title is &quot;Strong-arm admiral Shockwave&quot;, with his dialog mostly consisting of repeating his name or the word &quot;Strong-arm&quot;, saying &quot;Combine&quot; when combining with Megatron, or chanting &quot;Shock, Shock, Shockwaaaaaaave&quot;, a trait he carries over into ''Super Link''.

In fact, the size of [[#Toys|his toy]] compared to [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Armada|''Armada'' Megatron's toy]] is pretty much accurate (going by the top of Megatron's head, minus his horns). The only thing that makes him seem really big in the ''Armada'' cartoon, are the angles he is drawn on in his debut episode, &quot;[[Awakening (Armada)|Awakening]]&quot;, which is drawn in such a way that makes him seem more imposing, since the episode made him out to be a really big deal, and the &quot;warrior to turn the tide&quot;, so to speak (pun intended). Some of the subsequent episodes also kept the imposing-angled shots until he was eventually no longer the [[To sell toys|toy being advertised]], then his ''real'' [[scale]] started to show up more frequently (e.g. his appearance in &quot;[[Rescue]]&quot;). That being said, while his [[robot mode]] isn't all that big, Tidal Wave ''is'' a [[Size changing|mass-shifter]], growing to an enormous scale in his starship mode—which makes sense given the fact that his toy is made up of part of an aircraft carrier (even if that alternate mode was never shown on-screen outside of the stock footage combination sequence). Aside from [[Unicron]], Tidal Wave is ''still'' the biggest character in ''Armada'', so he is still a big dude, just not ''that'' big a dude.<br /> ** The PlayStation 2 ''Transformers'' game, on the other hand, opted to depict Tidal Wave as being closer to the actual size of his three individual alternate modes, making him an absolute behemoth.<br /> ** ''Energon''{{'}}s depiction of Tidal Wave's scale is fairly consistent throughout the show—even in his starship mode, which had actually lost its mass-shifting capabilities from ''Armada'', due to the cartoon's use of 3D animation.<br /> ** Tidal Wave and Megatron's toys in the ''Energon'' toyline are a couple of &quot;scale anomalies&quot;, as Tidal Wave is [[:File:Energon-Decepticon-scale-chart.jpg|in-scale with the other Decepticons]] in the ''Energon'' toyline (aside from the Maximus's), yet he doesn't scale well at all with Hasbro's [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Energon|Leader Class Megatron toy]], which scales perfectly with the other Decepticon toys. Instead, Tidal Wave is better scaled with the Takara [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Ultra|Ultra-sized &quot;Galvatron&quot; toy]] (Takara's ''Energon'' Megatron mold), but this Megatron figure doesn't scale with the rest of the Decepticon toys. How this works is uncertain, but it probably has something to do with the way their designs were translated into animation models (e.g. certain parts being longer or shorter compared to their toys, etc.).<br /> * In the ''Energon'' cartoon, Tidal Wave's appearance is significantly altered after he touches a raw [[Energon star]] in the episode &quot;[[Scorpinok (episode)|Scorpinok]]&quot; {{sic}}. Not only does he gain his toy-accurate &quot;lightning&quot; deco as a sort of scarring, his shoulders also notably [[:File:Decepticons Megatron Resurrected.jpg|sit in a higher position]] than before; having the tops of them sit above his head, rather than down in [[:File:Energon-Tidal-Wave-Meets-Scorponok.jpg|their natural position]] like his toy and ''Armada'' character model. The deco change makes sense, but what was the purpose of shifting his shoulders? <br /> * Designer [[Aaron Archer]] opined that Tidal Wave was the only ''Armada'' mold to return for the ''Energon'' cartoon simply because &quot;he's big and will sell well&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;{{citesocial|quote=Hes big and will sell well|link=https://news.tfw2005.com/2003/08/19/orsons-world-819-updated-again-758|name=Aaron Archer|site=TFW2005|year=2003|month=08|day=19}}&lt;/ref&gt; A glowing endorsement.<br /> * Like all non-toy [[Kreon]]s, Tidal Wave is made up of existing parts, in his case using the [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Ironhide]] helmet, as well as using legs in place of his arms, with hand pieces inserted into the feet.<br /> <br /> ===Mirage===<br /> * An early name used for Shockfleet (Mirage) found on Takara concept sheets is '''Gigawave''' (ギガウェーブ ''Gigauwēbu'').<br /> * Mirage was almost certainly intended by [[Hasbro]] to be a [[Mirage (Energon)|separate character]]: they implied this to be the case, saying that designing the toys before the show was completed led to &quot;some characters not aligning together in the animation and toy expressions&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;[[Hasbro Q&amp;A/August 2009: Answers]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Archer also states that the Mirage/Dreadwing design's alternate mode was inspired by the ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' Cobra Moray hydrofoil.&lt;ref&gt;{{citesocial|quote=I wanted to do a boat at a larger scale in the line. vehicle mode was slightly inspired by the Cobra Moray hydrofoil, Great robot not so great vh in the end. This was a design by @ericjsiebenaler|link=https://www.instagram.com/p/BvFrAekH9JV/|name=Aaron Archer|site=Instagram|year=2019|month=03|day=17}}&lt;/ref&gt; The general &quot;form&quot; of the robot mode, meanwhile, was inspired by a fan-painted {{w|Gundam}} Archer saw in ''{{w|Hobby Japan}}'' magazine, which also served as reference for Dreadwing's colour scheme.&lt;ref&gt;{{citesocial|quote=One of my favorite designs for a few reasons, 1) it was always a win when we got to make a boat toy, 2) I love the grace of his robot form 3)the overall form and redeco colors are based off of a fan-painted Gundam figure I liked in #hobbyjapan back in the day.

Perhaps someone tipped Furman off about this particular cartoon change?<br /> * In the Japanese version of the ''Energon'' cartoon, after Tidal Wave becomes Mirage, he becomes [[Transformer romance|very affectionate]] towards Megatron/Galvatron. The English dub dodges the issue as best it could (although that was probably due to the fact that the English writers didn't seem to know what was going on in the show at the best of times), with Mirage's love-struck remarks being replaced with simple cheering for his leader or something else entirely—but it couldn't do anything about his repeated coquettish gestures, doe-eyed expressions, or that one time he pirouetted and struck a pose while surrounded by a glowing pink heart. Maybe Tidal Wave couldn't properly articulate his love in his ''Armada'' form?<br /> <br /> ===Foreign names===<br /> ====Tidal Wave====<br /> *''Japanese:'' '''Shockwave''' (ショックウェーブ ''Shokkuwēbu'')<br /> *''Hungarian:'' '''Hullámsír''' (''Armada'', &quot;Wave Grave&quot;), '''Szökőár''' (''Energon'', &quot;Tidal Wave&quot;), '''Árhullám''' (&quot;[[Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle]]&quot;)<br /> *''Korean:'' '''Shock''' (쇼크 ''Syokeu'')<br /> *''Mandarin:'' '''Cháoxī Bō''' (潮汐波, &quot;Tidal Wave&quot;), '''Hǎixiào''' (''Armada'' dub, 海啸, &quot;Tsunami&quot;)<br /> *''Polish:'' '''Falotron''' (&quot;Wavetron&quot;), '''Falomiot''' (&quot;Wavethrower&quot;)<br /> *''Russian:'' '''Priliv''' (Прилив, &quot;Tide&quot;)<br /> *''Ukrainian:'' '''Khvylya''' (Хвиля, &quot;Wave&quot;)<br /> <br /> ====Mirage====<br /> *''Japanese:'' '''Shockfleet''' (ショックフリート ''Shokkufurīto'')<br /> *''Hungarian:'' '''Délibáb''' (&quot;Mirage&quot;)<br /> *''Polish:'' '''Miraż''' (&quot;Mirage&quot;)<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist|2}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Armada combiners]]<br /> [[Category:Armada Decepticons]]<br /> [[Category:Energon Terrorcons]]<br /> [[Category:Kre-O Decepticons]]<br /> [[Category:Kreons]]<br /> [[Category:Multi-component Transformers]]<br /> [[Category:Sea specialists]]<br /> [[Category:Unicron-related characters]]</div>

<p>Aaggggh1244567: </p> <hr /> <div>{{disambig3|Legacy}}<br /> {{nav-Legacy}}<br /> [[File:TF-Legacy-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|380px|We did it. We put the &quot;s&quot; in ''Generations''.]]<br /> '''''Transformers: Legacy''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Legacy''''')&lt;ref&gt;The official in-house title of the toyline is &quot;'''''Transformers Generations: Legacy'''''&quot;, which is often used in online product descriptions given to retailers. The name used for the line's logo, however; is just &quot;'''''Transformers: Legacy'''''&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt; is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the successor to the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.<br /> <br /> First revealed in late [[2021]] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2021]], ''Legacy'' commemorates the approaching 40th anniversary of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]] by featuring new toys of characters from across the ''Transformers'' [[multiverse]]. The toys are largely in the [[scale]] and style of those from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', including numerous 3&amp;nbsp;mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] from the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Characters from franchises known for more unique aesthetics, such as ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'' and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'', are updated with the modern ''Generations'' aesthetic to fit with the rest of the toyline, which can range from a significant redesign to the same basic model just rendered more like a modern &quot;[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]&quot; toy. The toyline also sees the return of [[combiner]]s from Hasbro for the first time since ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', starting with the [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]] in [[2022]]. <br /> <br /> The storytelling of ''Legacy'' follows characters brought together from across the [[multiverse]] as their universes collide.&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;/&gt; As such, non-&quot;Generation 1&quot; characters are (usually) given prefixes associated with their series of origin, such as &quot;[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron Universe]]&quot;. Replacing the package [[bio]]s of old is a QR code on the back of each box, or for Core Class figures, on the instructions, which leads to the character's bio on the ''Transformers'' website. Certain characters have also been given these prefixes to denote specific iterations, such as [[Impactor (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|&quot;Comic Universe&quot; Impactor]].<br /> <br /> Unlike its predecessors, ''Legacy'' was ''not'' replaced by a new line with its own distinct title for its second and third years. Instead, it was given a refresh in the form of [[subline imprint]]s titled '''''Legacy: Evolution''''' and '''''Legacy: United''''', with the existing assortments continued in terms of distribution. Similar to its predecessors, the ''Legacy'' toyline features [[package refresh]]es of several figures from previous lines, even all the way back to ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', though ''Legacy'' elects to remove the battle damage [[paint operation|paint applications]] from these toys where applicable.<br /> <br /> {{TOC|limit=3}}<br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===General retail===<br /> [[File:TF-Legacy-Evolution-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|250px|That's a lotta nuts!]]<br /> The first year of ''Legacy'' (theoretically) focuses on characters that can &quot;harness the power of [[Energon]]&quot;, with as many toys including an often-translucent accessory that the figure can wield in multiple ways and combine with others branded an &quot;[[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon-infused weapon]]&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;&gt;Pre-reveal of ''Legacy'' on the ''Transformers'' [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/6219021398168002 Facebook]: &quot;Celebrating an almost 40-year legacy of Transformers, universes collide as fan-favorite characters are brought together from across the multiverse, updated with Generations styling. You can harness the power of Energon, with all-new Energon-infused weapon accessories that come with figures across the line.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, not too dissimilar to the [[2003]] ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' series. In keeping with this theme, the first wave of Core Class includes weapons specifically designed to combine into a large sword, but the gimmick was quietly dropped immediately after. Moreover, toys that do not utilize clear plastic in any part of their construction do not have these &quot;energon infused&quot; weapons, but some product descriptions do claim that the weapons are such.&lt;ref&gt;Tarantula's product description says that he comes with a crossbow and an ''sic'' accessory, but Armada Starscream's product description claims that he comes with an energon sword despite both swords being casted in solid plastic.&lt;/ref&gt; Their random nature can be chalked up to them having been designed before the character roster was finalized.<br /> <br /> '''''Legacy: Evolution''''', the second year of ''Legacy'' product, was announced in fall 2022 at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2022|that year's Pulse Con]]. This [[subline imprint]] not only broadened the range of past ''Transformers'' franchises characters could be pulled from, it retired the Energon-infused weapons in favor of a series of integrated weapons referred to collectively as &quot;[[Evo-Fusion]].&quot; Admittedly, many of these are just the same &quot;combine and mount weapons somewhere on the figure&quot; play gimmick that has been part of the ''Generations'' line for years, but hey. Supporting this is a continuation of the &quot;[[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|Weaponizer]]&quot; concept with a new tribe of modular [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] that can mix and match body parts and accessories to create your own robot and vehicle modes, or armor and weaponry for other bots. Following [[Menasor (G1)#Legacy|Menasor]], this subline's combiner is [[Volcanicus (POTP)#Legacy|Volcanicus]], made up of six [[Dinobot (G1)#Legacy|Dinobots]] in the smaller Core Class. ''Evolution'' also puts some more focus on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' characters to commemorate the series' 20th anniversary, although these new releases do not include any of the series' original [[Mini-Cons]]. The line also notably features the first mainline ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' toys since the show's cancellation in 2009; 2023 ''also'' marks the 15th anniversary of the [[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|''Animated'' cartoon]], but we doubt this was intentional.<br /> <br /> '''''Legacy: United''''', the third year of ''Legacy'' product, was announced in fall 2023 at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2023|that year's Pulse Con]]. This subline imprint celebrates the 40th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand.<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ====Core Class====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot;

But the TakaraTomy line is markedly smaller than Hasbro's, having omitted all of the package-refresh figures and the first-year Core Class figures (the Cores were eventually picked up again with the ''Evolution'' Dinobots, ''et al.''). On top of that, the list of [[exclusive]]s for the line released by TakaraTomy is much, much, ''much'' smaller, currently limited to only the first assortment of the ''Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection''.<br /> <br /> Beginning with Wave 9 (corresponding to Hasbro's ''Evolution'' imprint), TakaraTomy's bios began making reference to the characters' arrival in &quot;[[Legacy World]],&quot;

The ''Diaclone''-adjacent items in the ''Generations Selects'' and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lineups are not given the &quot;Diaclone Universe&quot; label. ''Velocitron'' Blurr is based ''extensively'' on a comic-original redesign but doesn't get the &quot;Comic Universe&quot; tag. Galaxy Shuttle gets &quot;Victory Universe&quot; on his packaging, but Metalhawk and Minerva don't get &quot;[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1988 (Super-God Masterforce)|Masterforce]] Universe&quot; on theirs. Just roll with it.<br /> * Readers might notice that the original ''Robots in Disguise'' was released in 200'''''1'''''. However, ''Legacy'' basically treats both ''Robots in Disguise'' and the original Japanese version ''Car Robots'' as the same thing, and ''Car Robots'' was released in 2000. (Similarly, 2003 is considered the anniversary year for ''Armada''; while the toys first arrived in both the US and Japan in late 2002, the overwhelming bulk of product was released throughout 2003.)<br /> <br /> * In TakaraTomy's take on the line, everyone is established as visiting the &quot;[[Legacy World]]&quot; (レガシーワールド, alternatively &quot;Legacy Spacetime&quot; (レガシー時空) or &quot;Transformers Legacy World&quot; (トランスフォーマーレガシーワールド) in full). Their origin universe descriptions are largely similar, to the point of using Hasbro's names for the lines rather than their own (in line with their use of Hasbro's names for the characters), but there are still some notable differences:<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * Ancient Time Universe&lt;br&gt;(エンシェントタイムユニバース)&lt;!--Dia Burnout, Clampdown--&gt;<br /> * Armada Universe&lt;br&gt;(アルマダユニバース)&lt;!--Starscream--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * Comic Universe&lt;br&gt;(コミックユニバース)&lt;!--Blurr--&gt;<br /> * Cybertron Universe&lt;br&gt;(Cybertronユニバース)&lt;!--Override--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * G1 Multiverse&lt;br&gt;(G1マルチバース)&lt;!--Road Hauler--&gt;<br /> * G1 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G1ユニバース)&lt;!--Cosmos--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * G2 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G2ユニバース)&lt;!--Road Rocket, Shadowstrip--&gt;<br /> * Prime Spacetime&lt;br&gt;(プライム時空)&lt;!--Skyquake--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * RID Universe&lt;br&gt;(RIDユニバース)&lt;!--Scourge--&gt;<br /> *Victory Universe&lt;br&gt;(ビクトリーユニバース)&lt;!--Galaxy Shuttle--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> :* The change from &quot;Diaclone&quot; to &quot;Ancient Time Universe&quot; is because TakaraTomy has a concurrently-running ''Diaclone'' revival line entirely separate from ''Transformers'' (focusing on the original pre-''Car Robot'' aesthetic).<br /> <br /> ===Other notes===<br /> * [[Emiliano Santalucia]] was responsible for the concept art of the various &quot;energon weapons&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;Then you will actually see the concept art Emiliano Santalucia drew up even before we had the rollout of characters planned for the year. I think this will provide great insight for all yall as alot of the planning for weapon combinations was to obviously utilize our 5mm peg across all scales but this was all sold in before character selects were figured out. -[https://www.instagram.com/p/CfEo07gO0H7/ Mark Maher on Legacy Energon weapons, 2022/6/21]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Prior to the toyline's reveal in October 2021, much of its roster was found through internal online listings from retailers such as [[Target]].<br /> * Some toy listings featured &quot;Evolution&quot; as part of the toyline's name in its first year,&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/181712 BigBadToyStore] listing : &quot;Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Voyager Wave 1 Set of 2 Figures&quot; (outdated, &quot;Evolution&quot; has since been removed)&lt;/ref&gt; far before the ''Evolution'' branding was officially introduced.<br /> * Much like 2022's ''[[Studio Series]]'' lineup, Leader Class toys feature window-less packaging, which allows for expanded [[package art|artwork]]. The others largely utilize the same minimized window and plastic tray-less boxes from the previous line, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'', though with many hard-to-stack (but cool!) angles for the sides and no plastic window.<br /> ** The lack of a plastic window in the packaging has led to several drawbacks, most prominently the lack of support offered by the plastic window makes the packaging more susceptible to stress-based wear-and-tear, as well as tampering with the figures inside such as pushing Voyager Bulkhead's head into his chest cavity, making it appear as though the figure is missing his head.<br /> * Due to the polarizing reception to the Generation-1-fied redesigns of ''Prime'' characters, Hasbro announced they were trying to find a better balance between preserving the original designs for non-G1 characters whilst updating them for the current aesthetic for later toys, particularly the ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' character updates,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: For Legacy Animated stuff, would they be in the original style or more G1-ified like the TFP toys? A: The latter, however they have heard the stylization feedback about the TFP figures, so they are working on trying to find a better balance regarding G1-ification.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about Animated updates in Legacy]&lt;/ref&gt; and has not ruled out on ''[[Studio Series]]'' for more accurate redos of ''Prime'' characters.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: Could we also see more accurate versions of them and the TFP characters in Studio Series though? A: Entirely possible, they’re talking about expanding Studio Series beyond movies.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about more accurate redos of Prime characters]&lt;/ref&gt; Come ''Legacy: Evolution'', the new ''Animated'' Prowl showed off this new approach, being basically the original design, just made more boxy. Meanwhile, ''Prime'' Skyquake ended up as a pretty even blend between the ''Prime'' and [[Skyquake (G1)|original Skyquake]] visually, while the ''Armada'' characters added to the line all had sculpts that were ''incredibly'' faithful to their original iterations (minus loads of gimmicks, of course, but the visuals were there).<br /> * The original listings included a lot of entries titled &quot;[[Energon]] Monster&quot;. As per Hasbro designer Mark Maher's Instagram post, these [[Fossilizer]] / [[Weaponizer]] style Core and Deluxe toys were dropped eventually, and last minute the [[Pretenders]] were approved to fill in these empty slots.

We put the &quot;s&quot; in ''Generations''.]]<br /> '''''Transformers: Legacy''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Legacy''''')&lt;ref&gt;The official in-house title of the toyline is &quot;'''''Transformers Generations: Legacy'''''&quot;, which is often used in online product descriptions given to retailers. The name used for the line's logo, however; is just &quot;'''''Transformers: Legacy'''''&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt; is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the successor to the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.<br /> <br /> First revealed in late [[2021]] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2021]], ''Legacy'' commemorates the approaching 40th anniversary of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]] by featuring new toys of characters from across the ''Transformers'' [[multiverse]]. The toys are largely in the [[scale]] and style of those from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', including numerous 3&amp;nbsp;mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] from the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Characters from franchises known for more unique aesthetics, such as ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'' and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'', are updated with the modern ''Generations'' aesthetic to fit with the rest of the toyline, which can range from a significant redesign to the same basic model just rendered more like a modern &quot;[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]&quot; toy. The toyline also sees the return of [[combiner]]s from Hasbro for the first time since ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', starting with the [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]] in [[2022]]. <br /> <br /> The storytelling of ''Legacy'' follows characters brought together from across the [[multiverse]] as their universes collide.&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;/&gt; As such, non-&quot;Generation 1&quot; characters are (usually) given prefixes associated with their series of origin, such as &quot;[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron Universe]]&quot;. Replacing the package [[bio]]s of old is a QR code on the back of each box, or for Core Class figures, on the instructions, which leads to the character's bio on the ''Transformers'' website. Certain characters have also been given these prefixes to denote specific iterations, such as [[Impactor (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|&quot;Comic Universe&quot; Impactor]].<br /> <br /> Unlike its predecessors, ''Legacy'' was ''not'' replaced by a new line with its own distinct title for its second and third years. Instead, it was given a refresh in the form of [[subline imprint]]s titled '''''Legacy: Evolution''''' and '''''Legacy: United''''', with the existing assortments continued in terms of distribution. Similar to its predecessors, the ''Legacy'' toyline features [[package refresh]]es of several figures from previous lines, even all the way back to ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', though ''Legacy'' elects to remove the battle damage [[paint operation|paint applications]] from these toys where applicable.<br /> <br /> {{TOC|limit=3}}<br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===General retail===<br /> [[File:TF-Legacy-Evolution-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|250px|That's a lotta nuts!]]<br /> The first year of ''Legacy'' (theoretically) focuses on characters that can &quot;harness the power of [[Energon]]&quot;, with as many toys including an often-translucent accessory that the figure can wield in multiple ways and combine with others branded an &quot;[[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon-infused weapon]]&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;Facebook&quot;&gt;Pre-reveal of ''Legacy'' on the ''Transformers'' [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/6219021398168002 Facebook]: &quot;Celebrating an almost 40-year legacy of Transformers, universes collide as fan-favorite characters are brought together from across the multiverse, updated with Generations styling. You can harness the power of Energon, with all-new Energon-infused weapon accessories that come with figures across the line.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, not too dissimilar to the [[2003]] ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' series. In keeping with this theme, the first wave of Core Class includes weapons specifically designed to combine into a large sword, but the gimmick was quietly dropped immediately after. Moreover, toys that do not utilize clear plastic in any part of their construction do not have these &quot;energon infused&quot; weapons, but some product descriptions do claim that the weapons are such.&lt;ref&gt;Tarantula's product description says that he comes with a crossbow and an ''sic'' accessory, but Armada Starscream's product description claims that he comes with an energon sword despite both swords being casted in solid plastic.&lt;/ref&gt; Their random nature can be chalked up to them having been designed before the character roster was finalized.<br /> <br /> '''''Legacy: Evolution''''', the second year of ''Legacy'' product, was announced in fall 2022 at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2022|that year's Pulse Con]]. This [[subline imprint]] not only broadened the range of past ''Transformers'' franchises characters could be pulled from, it retired the Energon-infused weapons in favor of a series of integrated weapons referred to collectively as &quot;[[Evo-Fusion]].&quot; Admittedly, many of these are just the same &quot;combine and mount weapons somewhere on the figure&quot; play gimmick that has been part of the ''Generations'' line for years, but hey. Supporting this is a continuation of the &quot;[[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|Weaponizer]]&quot; concept with a new tribe of modular [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] that can mix and match body parts and accessories to create your own robot and vehicle modes, or armor and weaponry for other bots. Following [[Menasor (G1)#Legacy|Menasor]], this subline's combiner is [[Volcanicus (POTP)#Legacy|Volcanicus]], made up of six [[Dinobot (G1)#Legacy|Dinobots]] in the smaller Core Class. ''Evolution'' also puts some more focus on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' characters to commemorate the series' 20th anniversary, although these new releases do not include any of the series' original [[Mini-Cons]]. The line also notably features the first mainline ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' toys since the show's cancellation in 2009; 2023 ''also'' marks the 15th anniversary of the [[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|''Animated'' cartoon]], but we doubt this was intentional.<br /> <br /> '''''Legacy: United''''', the third year of ''Legacy'' product, was announced in fall 2023 at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2023|that year's Pulse Con]]. This subline imprint celebrates the 40th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand.<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ====Core Class====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot;

But the TakaraTomy line is markedly smaller than Hasbro's, having omitted all of the package-refresh figures and the first-year Core Class figures (the Cores were eventually picked up again with the ''Evolution'' Dinobots, ''et al.''). On top of that, the list of [[exclusive]]s for the line released by TakaraTomy is much, much, ''much'' smaller, currently limited to only the first assortment of the ''Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection''.<br /> <br /> Beginning with Wave 9 (corresponding to Hasbro's ''Evolution'' imprint), TakaraTomy's bios began making reference to the characters' arrival in &quot;[[Legacy World]],&quot;

The ''Diaclone''-adjacent items in the ''Generations Selects'' and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lineups are not given the &quot;Diaclone Universe&quot; label. ''Velocitron'' Blurr is based ''extensively'' on a comic-original redesign but doesn't get the &quot;Comic Universe&quot; tag. Galaxy Shuttle gets &quot;Victory Universe&quot; on his packaging, but Metalhawk and Minerva don't get &quot;[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1988 (Super-God Masterforce)|Masterforce]] Universe&quot; on theirs. Just roll with it.<br /> * Readers might notice that the original ''Robots in Disguise'' was released in 200'''''1'''''. However, ''Legacy'' basically treats both ''Robots in Disguise'' and the original Japanese version ''Car Robots'' as the same thing, and ''Car Robots'' was released in 2000. (Similarly, 2003 is considered the anniversary year for ''Armada''; while the toys first arrived in both the US and Japan in late 2002, the overwhelming bulk of product was released throughout 2003.)<br /> <br /> * In TakaraTomy's take on the line, everyone is established as visiting the &quot;[[Legacy World]]&quot; (レガシーワールド, alternatively &quot;Legacy Spacetime&quot; (レガシー時空) or &quot;Transformers Legacy World&quot; (トランスフォーマーレガシーワールド) in full). Their origin universe descriptions are largely similar, to the point of using Hasbro's names for the lines rather than their own (in line with their use of Hasbro's names for the characters), but there are still some notable differences:<br /> {| style=&quot;margin-left:1em;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * Ancient Time Universe&lt;br&gt;(エンシェントタイムユニバース)&lt;!--Dia Burnout, Clampdown--&gt;<br /> * Armada Universe&lt;br&gt;(アルマダユニバース)&lt;!--Starscream--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * Comic Universe&lt;br&gt;(コミックユニバース)&lt;!--Blurr--&gt;<br /> * Cybertron Universe&lt;br&gt;(Cybertronユニバース)&lt;!--Override--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * G1 Multiverse&lt;br&gt;(G1マルチバース)&lt;!--Road Hauler--&gt;<br /> * G1 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G1ユニバース)&lt;!--Cosmos--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * G2 Universe&lt;br&gt;(G2ユニバース)&lt;!--Road Rocket, Shadowstrip--&gt;<br /> * Prime Spacetime&lt;br&gt;(プライム時空)&lt;!--Skyquake--&gt;<br /> |<br /> |width=&quot;20%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;|<br /> * RID Universe&lt;br&gt;(RIDユニバース)&lt;!--Scourge--&gt;<br /> *Victory Universe&lt;br&gt;(ビクトリーユニバース)&lt;!--Galaxy Shuttle--&gt;<br /> |}<br /> :* The change from &quot;Diaclone&quot; to &quot;Ancient Time Universe&quot; is because TakaraTomy has a concurrently-running ''Diaclone'' revival line entirely separate from ''Transformers'' (focusing on the original pre-''Car Robot'' aesthetic).<br /> <br /> ===Other notes===<br /> * [[Emiliano Santalucia]] was responsible for the concept art of the various &quot;energon weapons&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;Then you will actually see the concept art Emiliano Santalucia drew up even before we had the rollout of characters planned for the year. I think this will provide great insight for all yall as alot of the planning for weapon combinations was to obviously utilize our 5mm peg across all scales but this was all sold in before character selects were figured out. -[https://www.instagram.com/p/CfEo07gO0H7/ Mark Maher on Legacy Energon weapons, 2022/6/21]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Prior to the toyline's reveal in October 2021, much of its roster was found through internal online listings from retailers such as [[Target]].<br /> * Some toy listings featured &quot;Evolution&quot; as part of the toyline's name in its first year,&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/181712 BigBadToyStore] listing : &quot;Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Voyager Wave 1 Set of 2 Figures&quot; (outdated, &quot;Evolution&quot; has since been removed)&lt;/ref&gt; far before the ''Evolution'' branding was officially introduced.<br /> * Much like 2022's ''[[Studio Series]]'' lineup, Leader Class toys feature window-less packaging, which allows for expanded [[package art|artwork]]. The others largely utilize the same minimized window and plastic tray-less boxes from the previous line, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'', though with many hard-to-stack (but cool!) angles for the sides and no plastic window.<br /> ** The lack of a plastic window in the packaging has led to several drawbacks, most prominently the lack of support offered by the plastic window makes the packaging more susceptible to stress-based wear-and-tear, as well as tampering with the figures inside such as pushing Voyager Bulkhead's head into his chest cavity, making it appear as though the figure is missing his head.<br /> * Due to the polarizing reception to the Generation-1-fied redesigns of ''Prime'' characters, Hasbro announced they were trying to find a better balance between preserving the original designs for non-G1 characters whilst updating them for the current aesthetic for later toys, particularly the ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' character updates,&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: For Legacy Animated stuff, would they be in the original style or more G1-ified like the TFP toys? A: The latter, however they have heard the stylization feedback about the TFP figures, so they are working on trying to find a better balance regarding G1-ification.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about Animated updates in Legacy]&lt;/ref&gt; and has not ruled out on ''[[Studio Series]]'' for more accurate redos of ''Prime'' characters.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Q: Could we also see more accurate versions of them and the TFP characters in Studio Series though? A: Entirely possible, they’re talking about expanding Studio Series beyond movies.&quot;—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about more accurate redos of Prime characters]&lt;/ref&gt; Come ''Legacy: Evolution'', the new ''Animated'' Prowl showed off this new approach, being basically the original design, just made more boxy. Meanwhile, ''Prime'' Skyquake ended up as a pretty even blend between the ''Prime'' and [[Skyquake (G1)|original Skyquake]] visually, while the ''Armada'' characters added to the line all had sculpts that were ''incredibly'' faithful to their original iterations (minus loads of gimmicks, of course, but the visuals were there).<br /> * The original listings included a lot of entries titled &quot;[[Energon]] Monster&quot;. As per Hasbro designer Mark Maher's Instagram post, these [[Fossilizer]] / [[Weaponizer]] style Core and Deluxe toys were dropped eventually, and last minute the [[Pretenders]] were approved to fill in these empty slots. Hence the different size classes between Skullgrin, Bomb-Burst and Iguanus.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.instagram.com/p/ChXxl3gumjK/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY= Mark Maher - Instagram]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * A ''Legacy'' animated series, conceptualized as a sequel to the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' cartoon, was in the discussion stage at one point, but [[Netflix]] passed on the pitch,&lt;ref&gt;{{citesocial|quote=Per FJ DeSanto: they had a series for Transformers Legacy planned out, but Netflix passed on it. #TFconLA|link=https://twitter.com/MikeSibertRadio/status/1502847896458170375|name=Mike Seibert|site=Twitter|year=2022|month=3|day=13|(defunct=)}}&lt;/ref&gt; as it didn't fit with Netflix's mandates at the time.

<p>Aaggggh1244567: </p> <hr /> <div>{{suite}}<br /> [[File:Kingdom Golden Disk Megatron returns to pits.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]<br /> <br /> Much like [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], the [[Decepticon]] leader also continues to receive more toys than the average ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' character. While '''[[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]''' doesn't have quite as many toys as his nemesis, he is one of ''at least'' [[Bumblebee (G1)|four]] [[Starscream (G1)|main]] characters that are guaranteed to get a new toy just about every year.<br /> <br /> For the sake of finding an easy and definitive split from the main toy article, we have opted to make this page strictly for the various ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]''-branded toylines, as this appears to be the brand [[Hasbro]] will likely continue adding Generation 1 characters to for the foreseeable future.<br /> {{TOCclear}}<br /> <br /> ==GDO==<br /> {{anchor|GenerationsVoyager}}<br /> [[File:GenerationsGDOtoy-Megatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|[[Bludgeon (RID 2001)|What goes around, comes around.]]]]<br /> *'''Megatron''' (Voyager Class, [[2012]])<br /> **''Accessories:'' {{w|Katana}}, {{w|:Wakizashi|tanto}}<br /> {{toydesigner|[[Andrew Frankel]] (Hasbro)}}<br /> :''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Megatron is an Asian market and Toys&quot;R&quot;Us-exclusive redeco/retool of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen: N.E.S.T. Global Alliance]]'' Voyager Class [[Bludgeon (ROTF)#Voyager|Bludgeon]], sporting a new, smiling head. Megatron transforms from a Japanese {{w|Type 90 Kyū-maru|Type 90}} tank into a samurai-esque robot mode. He features a flexible plastic sword which is made out of a portion of the barrel of the tank's main gun, as well as a smaller dagger. The dagger can be stored in a sheath which is revealed from inside the tank turret, and both blades can be slotted in holes provided on the robot mode's left hip guard. The larger sword has a peghole at the bottom of the hilt; though it is specifically designed to allow the dagger's handle to fit in the base to form a double-bladed weapon, it can also fit any other accessory that uses [[5 mm post]]s. The post used to combine the swords remains unobstructed in vehicle mode, meaning you can attach the dagger to the end of Megatron's main tank cannon if you're feeling silly. He also has [[Mech Alive]] [[gimmick]]s in his thighs and turret: sculpted cylinders in his thighs rotate whenever his lower legs are rotated, and pulling his turret open makes a sculpted white &quot;disc&quot; at the center rotate while a scabbard for the tantō hinges over to the side and props itself up for use.<br /> <br /> :The vehicle mode is one of the very few Transformer tank toys with rubber components to its treads. Portions of the tread links can unlock, allowing them to hang from the robot mode, while the wheels of the treads are integrated separately into the robot mode form itself. The treads still do not function realistically; small plastic wheels on the underside of the treads help the tank mode roll, as is standard with nearly all Transformer tank toys. On the plus side, the tank turret can be rotated a full three-hundred sixty degrees, as can the purple machine gun that sits atop the turret. <br /> <br /> :Unlike the other uses of this mold, Megatron comes [[Packaging|packaged]] in robot mode holding his swords, with additional plastic and paper ties in the tray imperfectly holding his swords in position. Because they were packaged this way since they were shipped out of the factory, most Megatrons come with the swords being badly bent and warped in the box. Fortunately, the swords' blades can be mostly straightened by leaving them sheathed in their hidden scabbards. Straightening their ''hilts'' is a different matter, though.<br /> <br /> :As a redeco of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bludgeon mold, it is highly likely that Megatron is cursed with the same design fault as his brethren - the rubber treads break down over the course of years, causing them to corrode spots of plastic and leave melty gashes behind.<br /> <br /> :This version of the mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' [[Megatron (Cloud)#Toys|Megatron]], while the original version was redecoed into ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' [[Banzaitron (TF 2010)#Toys|Banzaitron]], and differently retooled to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Overlord (G1)#Timelines|Gigatron]].<br /> <br /> ::*''[http://tfu.info/2012/Decepticon/GDOMegatron/megatron.htm More information on ''Generations'' Megatron at TFU.info]''<br /> {{ROTFBludgeonMold}}<br /> <br /> ==''Thrilling 30''==<br /> {{anchor|GenerationsLegends}}<br /> [[File:Generationstoy-T30-LegendsMegatronChopShop.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Watch yer wallet, Megs.]]<br /> *'''Megatron &amp; Chop Shop''' (Legends Class, [[2013]])<br /> **''Series / Number'': '''02 / #004'''<br /> {{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro)}}<br /> <br /> :Part of the fourth wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Legends Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Megatron is a new mold that is roughly the same size as a ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Commander Class toy.

In robot mode, his wingtips detach to combine and transform into his [[Fusion cannon#Deluxe|fusion cannon]] (although it's actually designed after the [[rail gun]] this body was equipped with in IDW's comics, but of course Hasbro couldn't call it ''that'' on a toy's packaging). The cannon can peg into 5mm ports on his hands and forearms. This design was actually taken from an official pitch without Figueroa's permission and with no compensation to the artist, a fact he was rather sore about.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/don-figueroa-designed-idw-s-stealth-bomber-megatron-but-wasn-t-compensated--t96022s0.php &quot;So I read that this was being made into a toy? wow, and I thought only 3rd party companies take stuff without giving any notice, acknowledgement or compensation...

He includes a sticker sheet featuring two each of Decepticon and Autobot [[insignia]] (the latter in reference to IDW's ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]''), plus stickers intended to replicate those on the original Megatron toy's chest and fusion cannon. Megatron also comes packaged with a collector's card featuring art from the initial release of the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game. His box-back bio bears a superficial similarity to our wiki's article on [[Megatron (WFC)|another Megatron]]. He features a spark chamber hatch which is sculpted in likeness to the one seen in &quot;[[Master Blaster]]&quot;. In a feature that goes undocumented in Megatron's instructions, his two combining guns can store underneath the rear of his alternate mode. Although the website description &amp; the package billed the transformation as &quot;15 steps&quot;, the toy actually has ''10'' steps. In keeping with that simplicity, his articulation is more limited than one might expect of a toy this size, with his restrictive knee articulation and lack of ankle joints making it tricky for him to stand in dynamic poses.<br /> <br /> :In robot mode, Megatron's fusion cannon is on a pinned swivel, allowing it to be flipped in either direction, and appears to have been deliberately shaped to evoke the fusion cannon's traditional look no matter which way it faces. With the missile-firing tip backwards, the swivel piece allows the cannon to fold further out to the side, giving enough clearance for the arm to bend up to 90 degrees. In this configuration, the visible swivel piece matches the hexagonal detailing on the traditional cannon design, and a grooved dial sculpted into the cannon is slightly angled such that it perfectly matches the vertical position of the adjustment dial on the original scope/cannon. Of course, in that configuration Megatron can't shoot anyone with his missile, so where's the fun in that, you silly nerd? <br /> <br /> :Select aspects of this design, such as the leg-mounted treads, the general transformation sequence and the tank alt-mode, were used to represent G1 Megatron in ''[[Transformers: Devastation]]''. The toy meanwhile was retooled into [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Generations|''Armada'' Megatron]], which was released at the same time. This mold’s tank mode bears almost no specific resemblance to that Megatron’s original ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' toy, but in a concession to that character’s legacy, both versions of this mold feature ''Armada''-style [[Mini-Con]] connection ports; a rarity in any year of the ''Generations'' toyline.<br /> <br /> :Though Megatron's wave was scheduled for a first quarter 2015 release, it arrived on U.S. store shelves in late 2014.<br /> <br /> ::*[http://www.tfu.info/2015/Decepticon/CWMegatron/megatron.htm More information on ''Combiner Wars'' Megatron at TFU.info]<br /> <br /> {{-}}{{anchor|SingaporeTRULeader}}<br /> *'''Megatron''' (Lucky Draw Leader, [[2016]])<br /> **''Accessories'': Two guns (combine to form rifle), missile<br /> :Released as a contest prize for Toys R' Us Singapore, this ''Combiner Wars'' Leader Class Megatron is a redeco of the Leader Class toy above, featuring chrome (if by chrome, it means ''metallic'') silver and red paint on his paintable silver and red plastic parts (which includes neutering the light-up gimmick).

While it initially looks like his chest does not contain a pivoting assembly for better range of movement on Megatron's neck, there is in fact one hidden under the grey parts that form his robot mode collar that allow the missile racks and the Titan Master port to turn in either direction.&lt;ref name=&quot;neck&quot;&gt;[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/titans-return-voyager-megatron-and-doomshot.1092333/page-18#post-14975031 Detailed look on TFW2005.com]&lt;/ref&gt; Due to the nature of his transformation it is possible to transform Megatron into tank mode without removing his head, though this leaves it completely exposed at the back of the tank.<br /> <br /> :His fusion cannon can plug into the short barrel of the tank turret or the rifle/Titan Master vehicle weapon. In an undocumented additional feature, the rifle can be inserted into the front end of the fusion cannon. The fusion cannon can be mounted on his forearm or held by any figure with 5mm hands. It also has a peg hole that an accessory such as his rifle can plug into, with extra square peg holes specifically to hold the rifle in place. The tank cannon on his turret, while held in ''very'' hard by a pair of ridges and a 5mm post, can also be removed; it can be pegged in by its 5mm post barrel onto a peghole in Megatron's shoulder to recreate G1 Megatron's classic shoulder barrel.<br /> <br /> :The instructions for robot-to-tank transformation suggest that you move his robot mode chestplate downwards into the collapsed jet position. It appears to have a clearance issue, with the chest protruding too far; leaving it in robot mode position will ensure there are no clearance issues. However, the chest ''can'' be made to fit better by putting it into position before transforming the treads, preventing the tread panels from getting in the way. Also in some copies of the toy, Megatron's left and right leg panels will randomly pop and stick out.

Megatron's robot mode is pretty accurate to the original cartoon, despite having a completely different altmode. He is armed with 2 weapons compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], one of which is his trademark [[fusion cannon]] called the &quot;D50-R35 Fusion Cannon&quot;. The other is the &quot;HPR Telescopic Laserstrike Launcher,&quot; with two symmetrical blades facing the opposite direction, and can transform into a large sword resembling the sword included in the Takara release of the [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Generation 1|original Generation 1 toy]] and can be stored on his back. It can also be mounted on his back to resemble the gun barrel on the original cartoon model's back. Both can combine into the insanely large &quot;NFM Particle Beam Megalauncher,&quot; which is meant to be held in his hands or over his head. Like his contemporaries in the ''Siege'' toyline, Megatron features 'battle damage' paint applications all over his head, chest, arms, and legs.<br /> <br /> :[[File:TF-Generations-WFC-S-Voyager-Megatron-with-Soundwave's-Gun.jpg|left|thumb|200px|&quot;Does this mean I'll turn back into a blaster?&quot;]]<br /> :Due to the way Megatron transforms, it's possible to rotate the turret 180 degrees and use the fusion cannon solely as the tank barrel, in the event one should lose the &quot;Laserstrike Launcher&quot; accessory; while not as aesthetically pleasing as the intended transformation, it still works.<br /> <br /> :Megatron also suffers a slight design flaw: unlike with the left ankle, the right ankle's pivoting joint has a tendency to not lock back to its straight position once it is unlocked. The only way to amend this is by pressing the top end of the black plastic peg on the right foot. The light grey backpack/central front tank kibble also has a tendency to dislodge if his waist is moved left or right. Due to the Fusion Cannon's slightly longer post, the hand's dorsal panel slightly protrudes when in tank mode. [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Soundwave]]'s additional gun can be slotted onto the back of the figure, perfectly mimicking his G1 gun barrel placement.

Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Battlestars (story page)|The Battlestars]]'' story pages, and is capable of assuming the two robot modes and two alternate modes featured therein. Although not officially a part of the [[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|''War for Cybertron'']] toyline, he has a grand total of 19(!) [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] distributed throughout his new tooling, making him more than compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. <br /> <br /> :Being faithful to the illustrations it is based upon, the figure has both a &quot;Super Jet Mode&quot; and a triple-barreled &quot;Ultra Tank Mode&quot;. The figure comes with his signature fusion cannon, which forms the nose of his gunship mode and the turret of his tank mode. He also has a triple-barreled cannon, which is stored inside the fusion cannon, and can be accessed by unfolding the front of the cannon and opening it up from the bottom. The triple-barreled cannon is detachable from the fusion cannon, and can be wielded by Super Megatron as a handheld weapon if you so choose.<br /> <br /> :As mentioned before, the figure also has two robot modes to represent Super Megatron and his upgraded '''Ultra Megatron''' form, which differ in forehead and chest detailing. In service to this, Super Megatron's forehead and chest can be swapped around between his two robot modes. The two robot modes are also distinguished by weapon configuration (the fusion cannon being closed for Super Megatron and open for Ultra Megatron, and Ultra Megatron also featuring the triple-barrelled cannon mounted on his right shoulder) and gunship mode wing arrangement (folded for Super Megatron and unfolded for Ultra Megatron).<br /> <br /> :Original to the figure and its [[Super Megatron comic 2|accompanying fiction]], a third robot mode was also designed and given the name '''Ultra Megatron Omega''', formed by taking the figure in its Ultra Megatron robot mode and swapping its face out for a more monstrous one. This new face appears to be an amalgam taking cues from both his [[Megatron (Movie)|live-action film counterpart]]'s mask in ''The Last Knight'', as well as the face of [[Dark Nova]]. If one so wishes, he can take the [[Silver Matrix]] accessory included with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Selects|''Generations Selects'' Star Convoy]] and plug it into this figure's left shoulder to replicate [[:File:Ultra Megatron Omega Selects.jpg|his initial appearance]] upon transforming into this form.<br /> <br /> :The ''Selects'' [[God Neptune comic 2|Special Comic promoting God Neptune]] further introduces a ''fourth'' robot mode, '''[[:File:Megatron Omega Perfect Selects.jpg|Megatron Omega: Perfect Form]]''', into which the figure can also be configured. To achieve this, his shoulder pads must be folded back, with the smaller wing pieces angled up at a 45° angle; his chest piece with the insignia, folded forward to partially reveal the tread details; his back wings folded down at a 45° angle; and his Fusion Cannon/triple-barreled cannon should be in tank mode configuration, tabbed into the port on his upper-back, with the triple-barrels facing straight up. His Fusion Cannon barrel halves should then be angled up at 45° angles, to create an &quot;X-wing&quot; shape behind him.<br /> <br /> :The aforementioned God Neptune chapter also depicts a third alternate mode for Ultra Megatron Omega, an &quot;[[:File:GS-Ultra-Megatron-Omega-SF-Gun-Turret--Mode.jpg|SF Gun Turret Mode]]&quot;. To achieve this mode, Megatron must first be placed into his Super Jet Mode, from there the subsequent steps can be taken in any order. With his waist kept in the same configuration, his legs must be rotated at the thigh, then folded up alongside his torso; his arms must be folded straight down, with the forearms folded forward, so that the figure is now resting on both them and the tank treads on his legs; the chestplate must then be lowered slightly, so that the treads touch the ground; his larger wings should be folded up into the tank mode configuration; and his smaller wings should be folded straight back.<br /> <br /> :A feature not mentioned in the instructions is that the lower part of his helmet is attached via a [[C joint]] on the neck, and can be removed to allow easier access to the forehead and face-swapping gimmick. This is particularly helpful, as otherwise there isn't much clearance for it to turn, and the swivel is fairly tight.<br /> <br /> :Contrary to popular belief, this figure ''is'' in scale with ''Selects'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Generations Selects|Star Convoy]].<br /> <br /> :This toy was released exclusively through [[TakaraTomy Mall]] in Japan and an EB Games exclusive in Australia.<br /> <br /> {{-}}{{anchor|GS14}}<br /> [[File:TF-Generations-Selects-Voyager-G2-Megatron.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Voice of Doom sadly not included.]]<br /> *'''Megatron''' (Voyager Class, 2020)<br /> **''Series'': '''''War for Cybertron: Earthrise'''''<br /> **''ID number:'' '''WFC-GS14'''<br /> **''Accessories:'' Fusion Cannon, tank turret/spear, tank-filler part/shield<br /> :A ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Selects]]'' add-on to ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'', this version of Megatron is a redeco of the ''Earthrise'' Voyager Class mold above in the first ''Generation 2'' toy-themed colors.<br /> <br /> :Much like most 2020 ''Selects'' products, the toy is only branded as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' and not ''Earthrise''.<br /> {{WFCSiegeMegatronMold}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ==''War for Cybertron: Kingdom''==<br /> [[File:WFC-Kingdom Core Megatron.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Add in a 5mm peg, and you can have Megatron holding Megatron holding Megatron.]]<br /> *'''Megatron''' (Core Class, [[2021]])<br /> **''Hasbro ID number'': '''WFC-K13'''<br /> **''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''KD EX-06'''<br /> **''TakaraTomy release date'': [[July 31]], 2021<br /> **''Accessories:'' Blaster/Tank Barrel<br /> {{toydesigner|[[Mark Maher]] (deco artist)}}<br /> <br /> :''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Core Class Megatron is a Legends-sized toy that can interact with Titan Class figures.

His tank mode lacks any kind of rolling wheels.<br /> <br /> :Megatron features his trademark Fusion Cannon, attached with a mushroom joint. He includes a blaster resembling his original pistol alternate mode which forms his (rather unconvincing) tank mode's barrel and has a stacked peg with 3-millimeter and 5-millimeter portions for compatibility with other Core figures as well as larger size classes. As shown in the instructions, but not specifically pointed out as such, the gun can plug into his back to replicate the gun barrel from the G1 figure. Due to the right forearm needing two pieces for the transformation, Megatron ends up having two asymmetrical forearm parts.<br /> <br /> :Megatron suffers from a mildly annoying issue regarding his shoulder joints; the hook tabs can barely lock into place, and they can be dislodged if his arms are bent back in robot mode.

He comes with his traditional fusion cannon accessory and has a swiveling twin turret backpack, whose guns can be lowered down to tilt over Megatron's head or turn left or right. Both turret guns are attached via 5mm pegs and features pegs for [[Fire Blast effect|fire blast effects]]. Megatron's fusion cannon can either mount atop his H.I.S.S. form's turret platform or on the outside of either fist. <br /> <br /> :His hips are ratchet joints, but the rest are all simple friction joints, including his lateral thigh swivels, which when combined with the weight of half the vehicle mode hanging off his back means that he's prone to tipping over in certain poses. Megatron's sizeable heel spurs do a lot to alleviate the problem, thankfully. The back plating and rear guard of the H.I.S.S. detaches to form a shield. The back of his fusion cannon is severely truncated to clear the H.I.S.S. parts on his shoulders or the turret gunner in vehicle mode, which looks more than a little silly. Said cannon and shield both attach via fairly shallow 5mm pegs. Due to packaging constraints, most of the H.I.S.S. tank is detached from Megatron in the box, with only the treads and lower part of the cockpit built into the main figure. Megatron is also a considerably warmer gray than depicted in his stock renders.<br /> <br /> :The set also includes a new recreated original 3.75&quot; [[Baroness]] figure, with recreations of her accessories as well as a battle stand, who can ride in Megatron's H.I.S.S. mode cockpit or man his turret guns.

Oddly, this newly molded head is a completely different mold from the ''Generations Selects'' Combat Megatron toy's head, which was also inspired by Megatron's miner design. While his helmet has details from ''[[The Transformers: Megatron Origin|Megatron Origin]]'', the color scheme and molding changes reference his appearance in ''[[Chaos Theory Part 1|Chaos Theory]]'' and ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]''.

She also possesses flight capabilities via back-mounted rocket thrusters. <br /> <br /> {{bigquote|I'm getting really tired of you [[human]]s.|Nightbird|''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]''}}<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===''Rise of the Beasts'' film===<br /> {{Spoiler|Rise of the Beasts|July 9}}<br /> {{Voiceactor|[[Michaela Jaé Rodriguez]] (English), [[Ryōka Yuzuki]] (Japanese)|[[Daniela Calò]] (Italian), [[Maëva Trioux]] (European French), [[Carolina Vera]] (German), [[Clodd Dias]] (Brazilian Portuguese), [[Andrea López]] (Latin American Spanish)}}<br /> Nightbird landed in [[New York City]] in 1994 alongside [[Scourge (ROTB)|Scourge]] and [[Battletrap (ROTB)|Battletrap]] to hunt for the [[Transwarp Key]], under orders from their master, [[Unicron]]. She engaged the [[Autobot]] group of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]] and [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] on Ellis Island, surprising Mirage with her ability to fly using rocket thrusters. The Autobots' lack of effective resistance disappointed her, having hoped they'd be more of a challenge. Her desire for a good fight was almost answered when [[Airazor (ROTB)|Airazor]] arrived, but Scourge ordered their retreat, having gotten the Key and seeing no need to waste time in summoning Unicron. She was present when Scourge mentally communicated with Unicron, and watched when the latter started torturing him for only retrieving one half of the key.<br /> <br /> Travelling to Peru, she and the other Terrorcons observed as the Autobots' human allies [[Noah Diaz]] and [[Elena Wallace]] attempted to locate the half of the key hidden underground. They gave chase to Mirage and Optimus up the mountain roads once the humans began fleeing from a [[Freezer]], believing them to be in possession of they key half (in actuality, their search had been fruitless). In the chaos, Scourge fought Optimus, while Nightbird and Battletrap handled the other Autobots. She attempted to run Mirage of the road, but was knocked off the mountain by an avalanche triggered by Arcee and [[Wheeljack (ROTB)|Wheeljack's]] confrontation with Battletrap. After Airazor destroyed the bridge between Optimus Prime and Scourge, breaking up the fight, Nightbird noted that the Autobots were fleeing, only for her leader to inform her they wouldn't get away so easily due the corruption he had inflicted upon Airazor.<br /> <br /> She was present when Scourge activated the Transwarp Key, generating the structure to open a portal to summon Unicron. During the attack on the bridge by the combined forces of the Autobots and [[Maximal]]s, she fought to keep them from the Key itself. At one point she swept Noah up and dragged him into the sky, but a hasty spear throw from [[Cheetor (ROTB)|Cheetor]] hit her and forced her to release her captive. She and a horde of Freezers had Noah cornered to the edge of a lava pool, however, preparing to move in for the kill... but that was when Bumblebee was airdropped in by [[Stratosphere]] after his resurrection, firing off a barrage of blasts her way from above that decimated the Freezers backing her up and allowed Noah to rejoin the battle. Angered, she flew straight up at the Autobot scout to attack him, but this proved to be her undoing. Latching onto her airborne form, Bumblebee used her as a robot shield to protect himself from Scourge's blasts; the other Terrorcon leader seemingly uncaring about his subordinate's own life. He then proceeded to rip one of her wings off and jam it into her spark mid-flight, and the resulting explosion reduced her to nothing more than a shower of broken parts, with her swords being the only remnants that remained intact. {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts}}<br /> {{note|Nightbird's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the books &quot;[[Mission at the Museum]]&quot; and &quot;[[The Search Is On]]&quot;.}}<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''===<br /> [[file:ROTB-BuzzworthyBB-Nightbird.jpeg|right|300px|thumb]]<br /> *'''Cheetor / Nightbird / Wheeljack''' (Jungle Mission 3-pack, [[2023]])<br /> **''Accessories'': Sword, two-part rake-claw blade<br /> <br /> : Released as part of a [[Target]]-exclusive ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' &quot;Jungle Mission 3-pack&quot;, Nightbird is a Deluxe Class figure that converts to an unlicensed approximation of her Nissan GT-R R33 in 19 steps.

After the Key was located, found to be in the possession of two humans, the [[Autobot]]s arrived and engage the Terrorcons. Battletrap squared off against [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] and [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]], using his chain-flail to devastating effect by hurling a stone pillar and a car at the Autobots. Once the humans who were in possession of the Key exited the museum, Battletrap informed Scourge that he had eyes on their prize. After Scourge subdued [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], Battletrap forcefully put his foot down on the Prime's back, holding him down and looking on while Scourge executed Bumblebee. He then prepared to finish off the remaining Autobots before being attacked from above by the arriving [[Airazor (ROTB)|Airazor]]. Satisfied that they had already acquired the Key, Scourge ordered the Terrorcons to fall back.<br /> <br /> Shortly after the battle, Battletrap witnessed Scourge communicate with [[Unicron]], as well as the latter's wrath upon discovering that the Terrorcons had only retrieved half of the Transwarp Key. <br /> <br /> [[File:ROTB-Battletraptruck.jpg|right|thumb|300px|I'm a truck, you're a tank, how do you expect to beat me?]]<br /> <br /> Battletrap and the Terrorcons then made their way to [[Peru]] to locate the other half of the Key. Standing on top of a roof in the city of [[Cusco]], Battletrap looked on while Scourge and Nightbird discussed their next move. Once the Autobots began to mobilize and left the city in pursuit of the Key, Battletrap and the other Terrorcons gave chase, ending up in the rural mountains of Peru. Arcee and [[Wheeljack (ROTB)|Wheeljack]] appeared and opened fire on the orange Terrorcon. Battletrap used his flail to latch onto Nightbird and spin himself around while still driving, proceeding to launch a barrage of missiles at the pair of Autobots, who narrowly managed to avoid them. Battletrap, turning back around, then grabbed hold of Wheeljack with his tow truck mechanism, throwing him and Arcee off the road and rendering them unable to pursue him further. Shortly after, when Scourge was talking to Optimus across a broken bridge, Battletrap and Nightbird arrived to give him support, but Prime and the Autobots left before an all-out battle could occur.<br /> <br /> After Scourge managed to acquire the other half of the Transwarp Key, Battletrap and Nightbird traveled with him to a nearby volcano, where they erected a fortress using the now-united Key and began the process of opening a portal so that Unicron could devour Earth. Soon, however, the Autobots and [[Maximal]]s arrived to oppose them. Scourge ordered his Terrorcon minions to engage them, which Battletrap eagerly did, running towards the incoming group and firing his gun at them. When the two groups met, Battletrap leaped into the air to engage [[Optimus Primal (ROTB)|Optimus Primal]]. Later on in the battle, Battletrap fired a barrage of bullets at Wheeljack, who took cover behind a large rock with Optimus Prime. Swinging his flail, Battletrap insisted that someone &quot;give him a real fight.&quot; His wishes are answered almost immediately when Optimus Primal caught his flail. Pulling it taut, Optimus Prime rushed in and sliced through Battletrap's arm, which Primal then pulled off. Screaming in pain, Battletrap's left leg was then severed by Prime, sending him tumbling to the ground. Just as Prime was about to deliver the final blow, Primal pounced on Battletrap and smashed his head in with his own flail, killing the menacing Terrorcon. {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts}}<br /> {{note|Battletrap's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the books &quot;[[Mission at the Museum]]&quot; and &quot;[[The Search Is On]]&quot;.}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===''Studio Series''===<br /> [[File:TF-Studio-Series-SS-99-Voyager-ROTB-Battletrap.jpg|thumb|300px|Mater took a dark turn years after being told he was the last straw in why the ''Cars'' franchise went downhill.]]<br /> *'''Battletrap''' (Voyager Class, [[2023]])<br /> **''Movie'': '''''Rise of the Beasts'''''<br /> **''Hasbro ID number'': '''99'''<br /> **''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''SS-104'''<br /> **''Accessories'': Mace, &quot;Attack at the Museum&quot; backdrop<br /> {{toydesigner|[[Sam Smith]] (Hasbro), [[Yūya Ōnishi]] (TakaraTomy)}}&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl2O7UksJlG/ Design notes on ''Studio Series'' Battletrap] from [[Hasbro]] designer [[Sam Smith]] on Instagram&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> :A Voyager-scaled release, ''[[Studio Series]]'' Battletrap converts into a licensed GMC tow truck, and comes with a mace accessory, which can be wielded in both modes.

She also possesses flight capabilities via back-mounted rocket thrusters. <br /> <br /> {{bigquote|I'm getting really tired of you [[human]]s.|Nightbird|''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]''}}<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===''Rise of the Beasts'' film===<br /> {{Spoiler|Rise of the Beasts|July 9}}<br /> {{Voiceactor|[[Michaela Jaé Rodriguez]] (English), [[Ryōka Yuzuki]] (Japanese)|[[Daniela Calò]] (Italian), [[Maëva Trioux]] (European French), [[Carolina Vera]] (German), [[Clodd Dias]] (Brazilian Portuguese), [[Andrea López]] (Latin American Spanish)}}<br /> Nightbird landed in [[New York City]] in 1994 alongside [[Scourge (ROTB)|Scourge]] and [[Battletrap (ROTB)|Battletrap]] to hunt for the [[Transwarp Key]], under orders from their master, [[Unicron]]. She engaged the [[Autobot]] group of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]] and [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] on Ellis Island, surprising Mirage with her ability to fly using rocket thrusters. The Autobots' lack of effective resistance disappointed her, having hoped they'd be more of a challenge. Her desire for a good fight was almost answered when [[Airazor (ROTB)|Airazor]] arrived, but Scourge ordered their retreat, having gotten the Key and seeing no need to waste time in summoning Unicron. She was present when Scourge mentally communicated with Unicron, and watched when the latter started torturing him for only retrieving one half of the key.<br /> <br /> Travelling to Peru, she and the other Terrorcons observed as the Autobots' human allies [[Noah Diaz]] and [[Elena Wallace]] attempted to locate the half of the key hidden underground. They gave chase to Mirage and Optimus up the mountain roads once the humans began fleeing from a [[Freezer]], believing them to be in possession of they key half (in actuality, their search had been fruitless). In the chaos, Scourge fought Optimus, while Nightbird and Battletrap handled the other Autobots. She attempted to run Mirage of the road, but was knocked off the mountain by an avalanche triggered by Arcee and [[Wheeljack (ROTB)|Wheeljack's]] confrontation with Battletrap. After Airazor destroyed the bridge between Optimus Prime and Scourge, breaking up the fight, Nightbird noted that the Autobots were fleeing, only for her leader to inform her they wouldn't get away so easily due the corruption he had inflicted upon Airazor.<br /> <br /> She was present when Scourge activated the Transwarp Key, generating the structure to open a portal to summon Unicron. During the attack on the bridge by the combined forces of the Autobots and [[Maximal]]s, she fought to keep them from the Key itself. At one point she swept Noah up and dragged him into the sky, but a hasty spear throw from [[Cheetor (ROTB)|Cheetor]] hit her and forced her to release her captive. She and a horde of Freezers had Noah cornered to the edge of a lava pool, however, preparing to move in for the kill... but that was when Bumblebee was airdropped in by [[Stratosphere]] after his resurrection, firing off a barrage of blasts her way from above that decimated the Freezers backing her up and allowed Noah to rejoin the battle. Angered, she flew straight up at the Autobot scout to attack him, but this proved to be her undoing. Latching onto her airborne form, Bumblebee used her as a robot shield to protect himself from Scourge's blasts; the other Terrorcon leader seemingly uncaring about his subordinate's own life. He then proceeded to rip one of her wings off and jam it into her spark mid-flight, and the resulting explosion reduced her to nothing more than a shower of broken parts, with her swords being the only remnants that remained intact. {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts}}<br /> {{note|Nightbird's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the books &quot;[[Mission at the Museum]]&quot; and &quot;[[The Search Is On]]&quot;.}}<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''===<br /> [[file:ROTB-BuzzworthyBB-Nightbird.jpeg|right|300px|thumb]]<br /> *'''Cheetor / Nightbird / Wheeljack''' (Jungle Mission 3-pack, [[2023]])<br /> **''Accessories'': Sword, two-part rake-claw blade<br /> <br /> : Released as part of a [[Target]]-exclusive ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' &quot;Jungle Mission 3-pack&quot;, Nightbird is a Deluxe Class figure that converts to an unlicensed approximation of her Nissan GT-R R33 in 19 steps.
