'''Bonecrusher''', known as the Claw of Megatron, is a Transformer that can be described with one word: Hate. While other Decepticons get by on greed, ambition, or just their fondness for dispensing chaos, Bonecrusher is fueled by sheer, unrelenting hate. He hates everyone and everything, be they Autobot, Decepticon, or anything in-between—he even hates ''himself'', revolted by his misshapen, hunchbacked robot mode, which he considers a reflection of all the ugliness and malice inside himself. The full force of this vicious cycle of hatred finds release in explosive frenzied bursts of psychotic brutality, as Bonecrusher takes out the full force of his bitterness and self-loathing on anyone who looks at him sideways. He hates that. He also hates [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], but would hate being terminated by the Decepticon leader more, so he sticks around.

On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Bonecrusher was actually quite a skilled tactician—dedicated to the art of war, a fast thinker who could plough into battle while others were still mapping out strategy, and, most importantly in Megatron's eyes, a masterfully ''dirty'' fighter. However, Bonecrusher's skills left him consigned to a supervisory position and kept him off the battlefield, which, of course, he hated. Naturally, this only helped to increase his already epic levels of frustration and misery at his lot in life, until he became what he is today.<ref>Bonecrusher's profile in [[Transformers Comic issue 8|Titan's UK Transformers Comic #8]]</ref> He's so intensely pent-up that he'll unflinchingly take on opponents of any size—the bigger the better! Bonecrusher wouldn't hesitate to confront [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] head on, if he could.

He transforms into a Buffalo mine-clearing vehicle used by the military, perhaps because it was the vehicle he hated the least.

====''Transformers'' film====
{{voiceactor|[[Jimmie Wood]] (English)}}

[[Image:Movie Bonecrusher carflip.jpg|left|250px|thumb|He hates the sundown slowdown.]]
Bonecrusher was hiding out in the motor pool of a military base when he received a communique from Starscream ordering the Decepticons to mobilize and converge on the location of the AllSpark. Leaving the base, he reported that he was "rolling" out. Sometime after this, he rendezvoused with [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]], and the three Decepticons headed off together to intercept the Autobots and their human allies who had the AllSpark in their possession.

[[Image:Movie Bonecrusher face.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Bonecrusher, like most celebs, hates the paparazzi. He also hates closeups.]]

Devastator wandered off somewhere, so Bonecrusher and Barricade continued their pursuit on the freeway. Barricade activated his sirens to clear the traffic and allow them more maneuvering room. Unsatisfied with Barricade's less conspicuous method, Bonecrusher used his mine-scoop to flip cars out of his way. Surprisingly, the Autobots didn't find this out of the ordinary, and only reacted when [[Sam Witwicky|ladiesman217]] recognized Barricade and warned the Autobots. [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] aligned to block the Decepticons from [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], who had the AllSpark and the fleshlings.

[[Image:Movie2007_Bonecrusher_attacks_Prime.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Bonecrusher loves (for once) to watch things burn. Just not himself.]]

After Barricade pulled over to the side of the road, Bonecrusher transformed while still moving and skated towards the Autobots. Optimus Prime transformed and slid into position to block his path. Seeing the Autobot he really hated, Bonecrusher smashed through a bus, and tackled Optimus Prime, pushing him off an overpass tumbling and falling off the edge, dragging the Autobot leader down with him.

[[Image:Movie Bonecrusher dies.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Thus began (and ended) Bonecrusher's hatred of Prime's sword.]]

When they landed, he sucker-punched Optimus Prime, who then hit Bonecrusher so hard one of the Decepticon's [[Sensors#Optical sensors|optics]] popped free from its socket, all the while being observed by a little kid in an SUV, who thought the entire experience was ''cool''. The two played a little cat-and-mouse along the overpasses. After Prime jumped down to ground level, Bonecrusher swung his claw wildly at the Autobot, all the while screaming incoherently. This gave Optimus the opportunity he needed to get his [[Dual Energon Swords|sword]] ready... which the Autobot leader used to cleave off Bonecrusher's right arm and run through the Decepticon's neck, nearly severing it. Optimus then wrenched Bonecrusher's head from its neck and tossed it aside. {{storylink|Transformers (film)|Transformers}}

{{note|Bonecrusher's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels ''[[Transformers (novel)|Transformers]]'', ''[[Transformers: The Junior Novel]]'', and ''[[The Quest for the AllSpark]]''; the comic mini-series ''[[Transformers: Movie Adaptation]]''; the activity book "[[Look and Find Transformers]]"; and the storybooks "[[Optimus Prime Versus Megatron]]", "[[Meet the Decepticons]]", "[[Transformers Mix & Match]]", and "[[Transformers: The Movie Storybook]]".}}

===Titan movie comics===
[[File:Bonecrushermemory-LISJazz.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|left|He hates the Conformité Européene mark.]]
Bonecrusher was known and feared by Autobots for never giving up. He almost killed [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] once and pursued him and his comrade [[Clocker (Movie)|Clocker]] for ages, driven by his hatred of nice-looking shiny robots (or nice-looking ''anythings''). As he said, "I figure, why should they look so nice... when I look like ''this!''" Clocker covered the wounded Jazz's retreat and tried to fight Bonecrusher, who hated that and killed him. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 6|Lost In Space 4: Jazz}}

====Alternate timeline====
[[Image:Titan11_Bonecrusher.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Should we tell him we don't have bones?" "Nah. He'd hate that."]]
In an [[Tyran 208.28 Gamma|alternate timeline]] where Megatron won the battle of Mission City, Bonecrusher was surprisingly still alive and was in charge of security at the Decepticon's [[AllSpark]] holding facility. Although he was happy that he has his arm and head reattached, he hated his job, as he was just a glorified drone director, and not able to kill anything himself. Thus, when he learned that Ironhide and Ratchet were trying to get into the facility, he decided to let the two Autobot infiltrators in, just so he could personally confront and kill them. So he not only disliked his job, he also wasn't very good at it. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} His fists hated on Ironhide's face before Ratchet stepped in, tearing the Decepticon up with offensive weaponry. [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee's]] team arrived to take out the drones, leaving Ironhide and Ratchet free to bash up Bonecrusher {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}}; you'd think he would have hated this and wanted it to stop, but when the Autobots got pinned down by [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drone fire, Bonecrusher ''tore apart his own troops'' to reach and kill the Autobots. He fought Ironhide again and this time lost, and may have been blown up with the AllSpark. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

===''Ghosts of Yesterday''===
Bonecrusher was part of the crew of the ''Nemesis'', led by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], who were searching for Megatron, who was lost thousands of years before, along with the [[AllSpark]]. He hated Starscream, but then so did pretty much all the other Decepticons on board.

When Starscream left to go destroy [[Ghost 1|an alien vessel]], Bonecrusher eagerly joined [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]'s plan to attack the ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]'' against Starscream's orders, as there was nothing else to attack. Bypassing [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], he headed straight for the ''Ark''. However, when he forced his way into the hangar, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] were waiting, and unleashed hell upon him. He hated that. When Blackout ordered a withdrawal, Bonecrusher reluctantly complied.

Shortly afterwards, Barricade picked Bonecrusher to lead another assault on the ''Ark''. His only response to the command was a growl. The battle went better, this time with Bonecrusher managing to inflict some serious damage on Jazz. When Starscream joined them, but refused to tell them what he'd learned about the alien ship, Blackout challenged their leader, and Bonecrusher and [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] kept well back. Blackout had his [[exhaust port]] handed to him, and Bonecrusher was ordered to drag him back to the ''Nemesis''. During the subsequent fight, Bonecrusher had to fight Ironhide, and managed to dent his armor. However, when Starscream ordered the destruction of the alien ship, Blackout questioned his reasons, and Bonecrusher backed his fallen comrade up, though didn't press the issue as they were mid-battle. Later, Bonecrusher managed to spear Optimus with his tail, but the alien ship's weapons damaged Starscream enough that the Decepticons had to retreat, and Bonecrusher was forced to help his leader back to the ''Nemesis''. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

===IDW movie comics===
[[Image:Movie BarricadeBonecrusher protoforms.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Bonecrusher's pre-Earth body. Bonecrusher hates retro-designs.]]

Bonecrusher was one of many warriors who fought for Megatron on Cybertron before the planet was ultimately abandoned. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}

Bonecrusher was a member of Starscream's unit that was keeping [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s reinforcements out of [[Tyger Pax]]. When [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] arrived with news of Megatron and the AllSpark, Bonecrusher insisted that they move on as they had already killed all the Autobots in the area. He then demanded that Brawl take them to Megatron or he would kill them all. Witnessing the launch of the AllSpark, [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] commented that [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] would die, but Bonecrusher replied that they should let it die, and that Barricade should join it in death. After Starscream and Blackout settled their differences, the group headed after Megatron. {{storylink|Planetfall (Movie)|Planetfall}}

They landed on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], the fourth planet of the solar system where they had detected the AllSpark's energy signature. The Decepticons destroyed a [[Beagle 2 Rover|primitive life form]] encountered on the surface. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}

The Decepticons made planetfall on [[Earth]] in Afghanistan, quickly attracting the attention of a nearby [[United States military|US military]] base, which sent out an armoured personnel carrier to investigate. Bonecrusher declared his satisfaction in finally having something to kill, but this chance was snatched away when [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] scanned the vehicle and destroyed it. He hated when that happened. Hitting the US airbase, Bonecrusher easily killed the humans before scanning a Buffalo mine-clearance vehicle. Bonecrusher hated the notion of "disguise", but hated standing out more. After scanning, he complained that there weren't enough lifeforms to kill. {{storylink|Planetfall (Movie)|Planetfall}}

===Toy bio===
During the final battle of the AllSpark, Bonecrusher faced of with his [[Transformers Comic issue 6|natural nemesis Jazz]] in a final battle to the ultimate finish. {{storylink|#Legends Class toys|Autobot Jazz vs. Bonecrusher}}

Despite all appearances, Bonecrusher managed to escape after his encounter with Optimus Prime (missing his head? beaten to a pulp?), and went to hide out in the South American jungle. And while he was in the jungle, his version of relieving stress was ripping apart trees and destroying South American military convoys. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys|Jungle Bonecrusher}}

After the defeat of Megatron and The Fallen, Bonecrusher came out of hiding and vowed to destroy every Autobot he could find, if it was the last thing he did. {{storylink|#Transformers (2010)|The Fury of Bonecrusher}}

===''Unite for the Universe''===
Following Bonecrusher's death, his body was kept at the [[N.E.S.T. N.B.E. Resource Redistribution Plant]] in [[Toronto]], [[Canada]] waiting to be melted down by [[NEST]]. Before they got a chance to do so, [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]] attacked the plant and stole the bodies of Bonecrusher and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], intending to graft parts of them onto [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] as part of [[Project Unite]]. {{storylink|Unite for the Universe issue 1|Ambition Instigated}}

{{note|Bonecrusher only appears in the Decepticon campaign of the game, and as a non-playable character t'boot on the console. He would've hated being playable.}}
While hiding in a military base, Bonecrusher came under attack by the humans twice, and required assistance from Starscream to escape. He hates needing help from people. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game}}

===Transformers The Game (PSP)===
After the Autobots manage to secure the AllSpark, they are attacked by Decepticon drones led by Bonecrusher. To give Bumblebee time to escape with the Cube, Optimus Prime takes on Bonecrusher personally, eventually besting him. After this Bonecrusher wasn't seen or mentioned through the rest of the game. Bonecrusher hates not being seen or mentioned. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (PSP)|Transformers The Game (PSP)}}

===''Transformers: The Ride – 3D''===
Bonecrusher rolled in and attacked [[Evac (Ride)|Evac]] and Sideswipe as they retreated from Devastator. He then transformed and began swinging his claw around wildly as Sideswipe tried to hold him off. Sideswipe was not strong enough to stop the bulky Decepticon but did manage to sever his claw. Bonecrusher was then dispatched when Evac landed some well placed shots to his chest and neck, falling to the pavement as the Autobots continued on. {{storylink|Transformers: The Ride – 3D}}

===''Transformers: Forged to Fight''===
[[File:Bonecrusher-Forged-to-Fight.jpg|thumb|300px|He hates multidimensional crossover games. But he loves speed-skating.]]
Bonecrusher was one of the Decepticons pulled from [[Live-action film series|his universe]] by the [[Quintessons]] and forced to fight. He eventually joins the [[You|Commander]]. There are at least a few of him running around! {{storylink|Transformers: Forged to Fight}}

*'''Autobot Jazz vs. Bonecrusher''' (Legends multi-pack, 2007)

: As part of the ''AllSpark Battles'' refresh of the Movie toyline, a Bonecrusher is an all-new Legends class figure, transforming from a small robot into a Buffalo mine-protected vehicle with a painted head & vehicle windows, but no painted tires. His vicious fork-arm is also poseable. He is also packed with an unchanged Legends-class [[Jazz (Movie)#LegendsVsBonecrusher|Jazz]] figure.

*'''Bonecrusher''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MD-09'''

: Bonecrusher transforms into a {{w|Buffalo (mine protected vehicle)|Buffalo mine-protected vehicle}}, with an articulated "mine-fork" for removing mines or cars or robots or unsuspecting buildings from his path. Although the fork is packaged with its sets of tines opposing one another, they can be rotated into a more appropriate side-by-side vehicle mode configuration, which the instructions fail to call out. He has six rolling wheels in this mode, and two sculpted, non-functional spare wheels.

: His robot mode is, like most of the movie toys, based on pre-final design work, explaining his ''extremely'' long extensible arms as seen on some concept art. The mine-fork splits to form a grabber-claw, which can snap onto victims with a geared slider [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] mechanism. His hips can often detach from the codpiece holding them together.

: He is extremely short compared to many contemporary Deluxes.

: He is named "Bonescrusher" on the Canadian [[cross-sell]]. Guess how Bonecrusher feels about ''that'' little misspelling.

He also hates redecos, slavish or not. He also hates quality control, and [[Fandom|fans]] who complain that the claw arm now has a habit of popping off with little force, while the original did not. Reviewer [[Ben Yee|Benson Yee]] pointed out that this interferes with the automorph trick, as the arm can now pop off while sliding that lever. It's obvious by now how he feels about Ben Yee, [[swivel joint]]s, [[quality control]], [[Hot Shot (Armada)|cars addicted to]] [[JaAm]], sore shoulders (and possibly his own shoulders as well), [[ball joint]]s, JaAm, etc...

: The vehicle mode's arm can be reformed into a grabber claw. It's quite top-heavy for Bonecrusher in robot mode, but bending him into a slight crouch or having him on all fours will allow him to stay upright.

: Due to his transformation, he is only barely taller than his Deluxe predecessor. However it must be noted that he is still with significantly more mass given the upgrade in size class.

: In an undocumented feature, Bonecrusher actually has ''removable face'' that actually lifts right off the balljoint connector attached to the torso to simulate his fate in the 2007 film. Care must be taken to gently wiggle and lift the faceplate straight off the balljoint connector and avoid twisting and risking damage to the eye pieces.<ref>[https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/159843-guys-guys-guys-ss-bonecrushers-face-comes-off/ Post by Megaplexess Prime on The Allspark, 04/01/2019]</ref>

==Notes==
[[Image:PhotoshopedBuffalo.PNG|right|250px|thumb|*Giant fork and Decepticon insignia not included with the real Buffalo.* Bonecrusher hates those disclaimers.]]
* The real Buffalo mine-sweeping vehicle doesn't have such a huge fork. It is only 14 inches (35 centimeters) wide. The image that inspired Bonecrusher's design was actually a Photoshopped image put on the official Force Protection company's site to make it look more impressive.<ref>[http://www.forceprotection.net/models/buffalo/]</ref> A 10-foot-wide (3 meter) appliance had to be fixed on Bonecrusher's arm for the movie.
* Force Protection loves Bonecrusher and the fact that he has picked their Buffalo as its alternate mode. They are actually quite proud of it.<ref>[http://www.forceprotection.net/news/transformers.html]</ref>
* Bonecrusher's toy was used as a prop for a CNN Headline News report demonstrating the real Buffalo vehicle's mine-sweeping arm.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maAWP2uVd7M]</ref>
* According to a press kit sent out in conjunction with the movie, Bonecrusher is "another [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]" who "forms [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]'s left arm".<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20110721045136/http://numberonestars.com/transformers/production/decepticons.htm Decepticons: The “bad guys” in Transformers race]</ref> Thus far, there have been no reports of people using Bonecrusher as one of Brawl's arms, left or otherwise.
* At various points during his fight with Optimus Prime, Bonecrusher emits some garbled roars that ''might'' be English. However, there is little agreement among viewers as to what he might be saying, and indeed, whether he even said anything at all. The subtitles and closed captions for the film do not identify any dialogue, just labeling it as "roaring". (Someone should really ask Jimmie Wood.) Considering the large amount of untranslated Cybertronic gibberish emitted by various Decepticons during the sequel ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', it seems most likely that Bonecrusher isn't intended to be saying anything comprehensible to human ears.
* Bonecrusher is [[Michael Bay]]'s favorite character from the film, despite his limited screentime—so much so that Bay named [[Bonecrusher (dog)|his new dog]] after him.
* In one of [[Hasbro Q&A|Hasbro's bimonthly Q & As]], it was revealed that, in retrospect, Hasbro thought a Voyager-class figure would have been a better fit for the figure than the Deluxe. Over a decade after the release of the first film, ''Studio Series'' rectified this with a new Voyager-class figure.
* Bonecrusher's sequences were particularly difficult for [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] to do at first. The solution came from videotaping employees rollerblading in the parking lot, and a pair of fighting experts going through the motions wanted for Bonecrusher and Prime, then using that footage as references.<ref>''Transformers'' DVD commentary</ref>
* Each time he appears in ''[[Transformers: Forged to Fight|Forged to Fight]]'', Bonecrusher has ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' as his multiverse credit, rather than the ''[[Transformers (film)|MV1]]'' credit as seen with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. One can only assume he hates this error.
* Last but not least, Bonecrusher hates ''[[you]]''.

[[File:Animated-toy MultipleSizeOptimusPrimes.jpg|right|upright=1.67|thumb|[[Optimus Prime (Animated)/toys|''Animated'' Optimus Prime]] toys of different size classes. From left to right: [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], [[Activators]], Deluxe Class, Voyager Class and Supreme Class.]]
'''Size class''' is how [[Hasbro]] determines the size and price of a toy. It also determines the amount of budget spent on the production of a [[Toy|Transformers toy]], such as paint or electronics. The logic behind size classes is simple: retailers can order a [[case]] of toys, knowing exactly how much they will sell for and exactly how much shelf space they will occupy. All the Deluxes in a line have identically-sized packaging and cost the same price. When you run out of Deluxes, you order a new case and put them right back where they belong. This is incredibly convenient, especially compared to [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]], where the sizes and prices of figures varied widely.

Each size class corresponds to its own '''price point''', the rough retail price of the individual toys. Price points do not correspond to exact retail price, but suggest the rough value one can expect to pay. A $10 price point toy may retail for $9.76 at Wal-Mart while being $10.99 at Toys-R-Us and $7.99 on sale at Target.

Up until ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'', toys with a uniform gimmick were sold as their own distinct assortment, which often resulted in an assortment consisting of no more than four or six different toys. Since Autobots and Decepticons often had their own distinct gimmicks, this resulted in separate Autobot and Decepticon assortments. Starting with ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'', however, [[HasKen|Hasbro and Kenner]] introduced uniform price points which continued as ongoing size class assortments throughout the line (although, in the case of longer lines, an assortment could occasionally be reset while still retaining the same size class name).

The intended class of a toy is relevant to all phases of its design process. To sell at a given price, there are tight formulas for how much plastic can be used, how many paint applications are allowed, whether electronics can be included, and how complex the transformation and articulation can be. Further, since a size class is literally a ''size'' class; toys are limited in their measurements, so that they will fit into the same size packaging as other toys in their class. As examples, ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Voyager [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]] and [[Studio Series]] [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]], in robot mode, are very short compared to other toys in their size class to the point several [[Lockdown (Animated)|Deluxe]] [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Class]] [[Lockdown (ROTF)|figures]] tower over them by inches. Regardless of whether there was room in the budget for more plastic, there may not have been room in a Voyager-sized box for them to be any bigger. For years, most Transformers toys were packaged in vehicle mode; however, starting with the 2010 Transformers toyline, Voyagers began to be packaged in robot mode. This eventually spread to the Deluxes in the 2012 revival of the ''Generations'' toyline. However, there were still exceptions; the ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]'' Deluxe [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobots]] were packaged in their beast modes.

Size classes have not been consistent from line to line, with names often changing to affect marketability. Furthermore, beginning with the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|''Dark of the Moon'' line]], Hasbro began to slightly reduce the size of figures for each price point. While originally justified due to the inclusion of the somewhat more complex [[MechTech]] weapons, subsequent lines didn't have those weapons, and yet the gradual downsizing continued. For example, 2018's ''[[Studio Series]]'' Deluxe Class [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS18|Bumblebee]] is the exact same height as ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#Hasbro Hunt for the Decepticons promotion|Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' [[Hubcap (TF 2010)|Hubcap]] in robot mode, a ''Scout'' Class figure from 2010 (although admittedly Bumblebee has a considerably more intricate transformation; but then again, Hubcap's transformation was unusually simplistic for its time).

==Beast Wars==
[[File:BWToy Ultra OptimusPrimal BoxedSample.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' had five size classes. From smallest to largest:

* '''Basic,''' the cheapest at US$5.
* '''Deluxe,''' at US$10. This was one of the strongest performing price points, and nearly all future retail lines would feature product in the deluxe price range.
* '''Mega,''' at US$15. Toys of this size were often [[shelfwarmer]]s.
* '''Ultra,''' at US$20. Only eight toys were sold at this price point.
* '''Super,''' at US$30. This size class contained only one toy, [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Optimal Optimus]].

Basic and Deluxe are sold on cards to this day; size classes larger than Deluxe were, and are, sold in boxes.

These size classes were also utilized in the concurrent ''[[Animorphs]]'' line.

==Beast Machines==
[[File:BMToy Silverbolt CardedSample.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' continued ''Beast Wars''' size classes, but increased the price of Basic to US$7.

'''Supreme''' was introduced as a US$40 size class. [[Cheetor (BW)/toys|Cheetor]] was the only Supreme in this line; a Supreme [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Optimus Primal]] toy was planned to be in this line, but was moved to ''Robots in Disguise''. Both of these supreme class designs featured electronic lights and sounds. Supreme Optimus Primal even featured speech by voice actor [[Garry Chalk]].

Two additional size classes, [[Deployer (BM)|Deployers]] (US$5) and [[Beast Rider]]s (US$10) would turn out to be short-lived. The size of Ultra toys was increased while maintaining the price.
{{-}}

==Robots in Disguise==
[[File:Ut rid carded.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' used the ''Beast Machines'' size classes, though the Basic price point was once again lowered to US$5. However, most of the toys at this price point were either [[Spy Changer]] two-packs or [[redeco]]ed Generation 1 combiner limbs, making them somewhat smaller and less intricate than previous lines' Basics (a notable exception is [[Obsidian (RID)|the recolor]] of [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]], which was sold for less than the original version).

''Robots in Disguise'' also had three Mega-priced multipacks of smaller figures (the three smaller Predacons, a trio of recolored ''Beast Machines'' Basics as Autobots, and the recolored [[Laser Cycle]]s).

Several of the line's toys ran afoul of the differences between US and Japanese packaging policies. The [[Team Bullet Train]] toys were individually packaged as Megas, despite being smaller than the usual members of that size class. The near-Basic-sized [[Wedge (RID)|Wedge]] was sold as a Deluxe.
{{-}}

==Armada==
[[File:Ut armada supercon.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' toyline renamed or repurposed all the existing price points:

* '''Mini-Con,''' at US$6.50 replaced the Basic price point, with 3-packs of [[Mini-Con]]s.
* '''Super-Con,''' at US$10 replaced the Deluxe.
* '''Max-Con,''' at US$20 replaced the Ultra. All Max-Cons had electronic sound effects.
* '''Giga-Con,''' at US$25. All Giga-Cons (except for [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]]) featured electronic lights and sounds.
* '''Super-Base,''' at US$40 replaced Super, but used the Supreme price point. The only figure of this class was [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Optimus Prime]], who featured an infrared-activated automatic transformation gimmick, as well as lights and sounds.
* "[[Unicron/toys|Unicron]]" was in his own class using the Supreme size, at US$50. He had lights, but no sounds.

The old US$15 price, previously used by the Mega size class, was effectively discontinued, taken up by role-play toys like the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]] and the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Dark Saber]].
{{-}}

==Universe (2003)==
[[File:TFU03-toy EnWideload.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The original ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line used the ''Beast Wars'' size class designations, but only had '''Deluxe''' and '''Ultra''' (the latter at US$20).

After the ''Universe'' line as such had effectively ended, repackaged ''Energon'' (and even later, ''Cybertron'') toys were sold on ''Universe'' cards as discount chain [[exclusive]]s, divided into the price points '''Basic''' (US$5) and '''Deluxe''' (US$8).
{{-}}

==Alternators==
[[File:Ut alternators early.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line was unique insofar as it only consisted of one single price point (US$20). This was owed to the uniform [[scale]] of the line at 1:24, as well as the fact that all the toys from the line were based on licensed vehicles.

Some retailers actually listed the toys under the "Mega" price point, but this designation was never officially used by Hasbro. In fact, there was an official "Mega Alternators" assortment of sorts, which consisted of shrinkwrapped two-packs consisting of two individual toys (mostly limited to [[shelfwarmer]]s such as [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]], [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys|Side Swipe]] or [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]]), available for the price of a single Alternators toy exclusively at Toys'R'Us.

Hasbro later replaced the original mass retail Alternators assortment with a second one, which remained at the original one's price point. In the case of Alternators [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]], Hasbro reportedly accepted a smaller profit margin (since the toy was more expensive to produce than other Alternators toys) so they could still sell it at the US$20 price point.
{{-}}

==Energon==
[[File:Ut energon boxed.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' took a somewhat random approach to size-class naming. The second [[Transformers: Energon (mini-comic)|pack-in catalog]] introduced the size class range as

* '''Energon''' (Basic), with the price back to US$7
* '''Combat''' (Deluxe) - US$10.
* '''Mega Combat''' (the former "Max-Con") - US$20. All Mega Combat (and the subsequently renamed Mega Class) figures featured sound effects.
* '''Commanders''' (the former "Giga-Con") - US$25. Commanders had lights and sounds depending on the figure.
* '''Leaders''' (the former "Super Base") - US$40. Leaders featured both lights and sounds.
* [[Unicron/toys|Unicron]] was given no size class - US$50.

The third [[catalog]] explicitly referred to the price points as

* '''Energon Class'''
* '''Combat Class'''
* '''Mega Class''' (a renamed US$20 Max-Con/Mega Combat class, not to be confused with the old ''Beast Wars''/''Beast Machines''/''Robots in Disguise''-era US$15 Mega class)
* '''Command Class'''
* '''Leaders Class'''
* Omega Supreme was given no size class.

The fourth and final catalog continued using the terms originated by the third (although each of the [[combiner]] teams has its own double-page spread, and the individual members have no price points listed, even though the limb and torso bots shipped as part of the Energon and Command Class assortments, respectively), but finally listed Omega Supreme as '''Supreme Class'''.

==Cybertron==
[[File:Ut cybertron voyagerclass.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' changed the naming of some size classes, but retained others:

* '''[[Legends Class (2005)|Legends of Cybertron]],''' at US$3, with tiny [[Market six]]-aimed figures.
* '''Mini-Con Class,''' at US$5 was added for the Mini-Con two-packs.
* '''Scout Class,''' at US$7, formerly Energon Class.
* '''Deluxe Class,''' at US$10, formerly Combat Class.
* '''Voyager Class,''' at US$20, ''Energon'' Mega Class (see ''Energon'' section above). Sound effects were dropped from all but four figures in this size class. [[Vector Prime]], [[Overhaul (Cybertron)|Leobreaker]], [[Crumplezone (Cybertron)|Crumplezone]] and his smarter remold Dark Crumplezone retained their sound effects gimmick.
* '''Ultra Class,''' at US$25, formerly Command Class. Ultra class toys had lights and sounds.
* '''Leader Class,''' dropping the plural "s" from the previous "Leaders Class". Leader class figures featured lights and sounds, and (except for [[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex]]) featured several [[Cyber Key]] gimmicks.
* '''Supreme Class,''' remained the same. Supreme class figures had lights and sounds, with several different Cyber Planet Key gimmicks. [[Primus]] featured an [[Omega Lock]] accessory gimmick that was essential for his transformation.

==Classics==
[[File:Astrotrain packaging deluxe.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' kept the Deluxe and Voyager classes, renamed as

* '''Legends,''' at US$4 - Legends of Cybertron repaints, raised $1 in price.
* '''Mini-Con,''' at US$7, in three-packs again, replacing the Scout Class price point.
* '''Classic Deluxe,''' at US$10.
* '''Classic Voyager,''' at US$20.
{{-}}

==Movie==
[[File:Movie 1 voyager.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers (2007 toyline)|Transformers]]'', the toyline based on the 2007 [[Transformers (film)|live-action movie]], retained many size classes from before:

* '''Legends Class,''' at US$4.
* '''Scout Class,''' at US$7.
* '''Deluxe Class,''' at US$10.
* '''Voyager Class,''' at US$20. Continuing on from the standards set in ''Cybertron'' and ''Classics'', ''Movie'' Voyagers featured no electronics unless they were redecos of toys from previous lines.
* '''Ultra Class,''' at US$25. (Consisted of two Toys "R" Us [[exclusive]] ''Cybertron'' redecoes.)
* '''Leader Class,''' at US$40. The Leaders featured electronic lights and sounds, usually attached to a spring-loaded [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmick.

The '''Supreme''' class was dropped. The Scout Class, which consisted entirely of [[redeco]]s of toys from the ''Energon'' and ''Cybertron'' toylines, was exclusively available at Target stores in the USA, but was sold at mass retail in Europe and Canada. Additionally, there was a gimmick-based sub-line named '''[[Fast Action Battlers]]''', which also sold at US$10 (like the Deluxe Class toys); a simplistic, cutesy sub-line aimed at young children named ''[[Cyber Slammers]]'', which also sold for US$8; and a new US$90 figure sold as '''Ultimate Bumblebee.'''
{{-}}

==Animated==
[[File:TFAnimated Leader Megatron BoxedSample.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Transformers Animated'' toyline]] has the following size classes:

* '''Activators''', at US $8. Features an automorph gimmick.
* '''Deluxe Class''', at US$10.
* '''Voyager Class''', at US$20.
* '''Leader Class''', at US$40. Features electronic lights and sounds, including speech samples voiced usually by the actors from the cartoon.
* '''Supreme Class''', at US$50. Only Roll-out Command Optimus Prime got released for this price point. It features electronic lights and sounds, including speech samples voiced by [[David Kaye]].

In addition, the [[Bumper Battlers]] size class replaces the movie line's [[Cyber Slammers]], going one better by featuring an extensive array of voice samples and sound effects. However, with this comes a price increase to US$10. Legends Class toys of the Animated cast were released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' toyline instead.
{{-}}

==Universe (2008)==
[[File:Universe2008 Sunstreaker CardedCopy.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The 2008 [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' toyline]] has the following size classes:

* '''Legends Class''', at US$4.
* '''Deluxe Class''', at US$10.
* '''Voyager Class''', at US$20. Several of the redecos and retools of ''Cybertron'' toys had their sound effects removed and the battery compartments riveted shut, owing to pricing changes in this price point between their original manufacture and release in Universe.
* '''Ultra Class''', at US$25. All-new Ultra class figures featured lights and sounds.
* '''Supreme Class''', at US$50. This size class consisted solely of the Toys 'R' Us exclusive repackaged ''Armada'' [[Unicron/toys|Unicron]].
{{-}}

==Revenge of the Fallen==
[[File:Movie 2 voyager.JPG|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' was fairly similar to the first movie's toyline, with the addition of the Human Alliance and Supreme Combiner classes, as well as the prices jumping up a few dollars. Due to competition between mass retailers, Deluxe and Voyager were often marked down to around $10 and $20 respectively to drive sales to those stores.

* '''Legends Class,''' at US$5.
* '''Scout Class,''' at US$8.
* '''Deluxe Class,''' at US$13.
* '''Voyager Class,''' at US$22.
* '''Human Alliance,''' at US$30.
* '''Leader Class,''' at US$45.
* '''Supreme Combiner,''' at US$100. Consisted solely of the dog-sized [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] toy.
{{-}}

==Dark of the Moon==
[[File:Movie 3 deluxe.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' divides the toys into two major categories. The Cyberverse line contains Legion (previously Legends) and Commander (replacing Scout, but slightly smaller and less complex) size classes and transforming playsets which come with either a Legion or Commander class figure. The MechTech line includes Deluxes class figures and above, with the new addition of Basic figures to the Human Alliance subset. Due to the inclusion of the large MechTech weapons with Deluxe, Voyager and Leader figures, they are slightly smaller than those of the same size class in previous lines.

* '''Legion Class,''' at US$5.
* '''Commander Class,''' at US$8.
* '''Human Alliance Basic,''' at US$10.
* '''Deluxe Class,''' at US$13.
* '''Cyberverse Action Set,''' at US$15.
* '''Voyager Class,''' at US$20.
* '''Cyberverse Playset,''' at US$24, consisting solely of the Cyberverse Ark playset.
* '''Human Alliance,''' at US$35.
* '''Leader Class,''' at US$45.
* '''Ultimate,''' at US$75, consisting solely of the Ultimate Optimus Prime toy.
{{-}}

==Prime==
[[File:PrimeBHtoy-Ultimate-Predaking.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The [[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|''Prime'' toyline]] started with the 'First Edition' line released in November 2011, and continued into the 'Prime: Robots in Disguise' 2012 line. Continuing to use the Legion, Commander, Deluxe and Voyager size classes at their previous price points, it also adds a 'Vehicle Class' consisting of a Cyberverse transforming playset and Legion-class figure, a 'Weaponizer' class for larger-than-Voyager figures with pop-out weaponry in both modes, and a 'Maximus' class for figures that transform into Cyberverse-scaled battle stations / powered armor suits.

* '''Legion Class,''' at US$5.
* '''Commander Class,''' at US$8.
* '''Deluxe Class,''' at US$13.
* '''Vehicle Class,''' at US$20.
* '''Voyager Class,''' at US$22.
* '''Weaponizer Class,''' at US$30.
* '''Maximus Class,''' at US$35.
{{-}}

==Generations==
{{stub}}

==Age of Extinction==
[[File:CrosshairsPackaging.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|''Age of Extinction'' toyline]] was split into two different series. One series was known as "Robots in Disguise" which featured gimmicky toys such as the "Power Battlers" which are successors to the "Fast Action Battlers", "One-Step Changers" which convert in one easy step, "Dino Sparkers" which are unarticulated and non-transforming figures of Autobots riding non-transforming Dinobots who can generate sparks by being pulled back, "Flip and Change" figures which transform by being flipped over themselves, a "Smash and Change" Optimus which converts when smashed into the ground, a "Mega One-Step Bumblebee" which transform in one step but is the size of a "Leader Class" figure, and a 22 inch tall electronic "Stomp & Chomp Grimlock which also converts in one step. The second series was a Generations series specifically for Age of Extinction which included "Deluxe Class", "Voyager Class", and "Leader Class" figures. The line also included "Legion Class" figures and two packs with both "Legion Class" and "Scout Class" figures exclusive to Wal-Mart. One last class is "Evolution Two-Packs" containing Age of Extinction versions of figures and redecos of old figures made to represent old figures. Evolution Two-Packs are exclusive to Toys'R'Us.

*'''Deluxe Class''' at US$14.39
*'''Voyager Class''' at US$29.99
*'''Leader Class''' at US$46.99
*'''Legion Class''' at US$4.97 (Exclusive to Wal-Mart)
*'''Legion Class and Scout Class Two-Packs''' at US$11.87 (Exclusive to Wal-Mart)
*'''One-Step Changers''' at US$22.99
*'''Mega One-Step''' at US$34.99
*'''Stomp & Chomp''' at US $79.99
*'''Power Battlers''' st US$14.99
*'''Dino Sparkers''' at US$12.99
*'''Flip and Change''' at US$22.99
*'''Smash and Change''' at US$26.09
*'''Deluxe Evolution Two-Packs''' at US$16.99 (Exclusive to Toys'R'Us)

[[File:Studio Series logo.png|center|425px]]
[[File:StudioSeries-01-MV1-Deluxe-Bumblebee-w backdrop.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|From L'Oreal]]
First revealed at New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], '''''Studio Series''''', underneath the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' banner, acts as a celebration of over ten years of live-action movies, with characters from every movie represented. It also coincides with ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', the sixth film in the [[live-action film series]].

Each toy is numbered, with an indication of their movie of origin. All figures also come with a cardboard backdrop depicting a notable scene from their respective movie. Backdrops from separate figures representing the same scene are designed to be displayed side-by-side.

With rough robot mode [[scale]] as a line-wide goal, each figure is sized in relation to other toys, even in the same [[size class]]; Deluxe SS-18 Bumblebee is shorter than Deluxe Jazz and SS-01 Bumblebee, who are in turn shorter than Deluxe Ratchet and Lockdown.

===Multi-packs and exclusives===
[[File:Studio-Series-MVBB-Rebekah's-Garage-15-Bumblebee-with-Charlie.jpg|thumb|300px|Bumblebee multipack]]
These are even more complicated than usual, and that's ''before'' international releases come into play. Thundercracker was originally released as a worldwide [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive, but due to the bankruptcy of Toys"R"Us in several countries, he only had a very short availability window in those markets. and was never added to the Toys"R"Us online store before the latter ceased operations. Likewise, the Bumblebee/Charlie 2-pack was originally intended as a Toys"R"Us exclusive but ultimately was only released that way in Canada, which still ''had'' Toys"R"Us by the time it came out. In the United States, both Thundercracker and the 2-pack were eventually made available through numerous online retailers such as [[BigBadToyStore]], Entertainment Earth, ToyWiz, and TFSource, although the 2-pack was also inexplicably found at a single [[Target]] store several months earlier.

The Bumblebee Then & Now 2-pack was exclusive to Target in the United States and to Kmart in Australia; the Bumblebee Vol. 1 Retro Rock Garage set debuted at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2018 and was later also made available via [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] (and additionally was also available at general retail in Taiwan and was offered at Comic-Con Paris 2018); and both the Bumblebee Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway set and the Drift/Baby Dinobots set appear to be "online exclusives" shared between the same online retailers that also offered Thundercracker and the Bumblebee/Charlie 2-pack, although both were initially claimed to be exclusive to Entertainment Earth. We say "appear" because the Retro Pop Highway set was ''also'' available at GameStop stores in the United States, ''and'' both sets are ''also'' listed in Diamond Comic Distributors' ''Previews'' catalog, so really the only "exclusivity" for these appears to be that neither of them is available from Walmart or Target. Battle Damaged Megatron was first found stocked by Hong Kong shops, and much later, was put up for pre-order on Toys"R"Us' Canadian website, and then on Target's US website before being found in stores.

==Studio Series (TakaraTomy)==
Similar to ''Power of the Primes'', in Takara's ''Studio Series'' (スタジオシリーズ) line, all figures are identical to their Hasbro counterparts, forgoing Takara's past practice of using more movie-accurate paint jobs. This is most likely due to the line being an official collaboration between Hasbro and [[TakaraTomy]], much like the ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece#Masterpiece Movie Series|Masterpiece Movie Series]]'' line. ID numbering differs after number 8 compared to the Hasbro release, since some of the exclusives are not released in Japan. Starting with wave 4, the packages feature the franchise's 35th anniversary logo.

==Notes==
*''Studio Series'' can be considered a "sister series" to Hasbro's ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]: The Black Series'' and ''Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years'', which are based around a similar concept and feature a similar overall packaging design.
*In July 2017, photos of a computer screen taken during an internal Hasbro presentation were leaked to the public that revealed, among other things, the very ''existence'' of the ''Studio Series'' general retail line-up, though not the actual title "Studio Series" yet (which was later revealed through separate leaks). The fact that the slides incorrectly featured projected release dates for "2017" instead of 2018 (which included dates ''predating'' the leak) led some fans to assume that the still unannounced line-up had long since been canceled. it wouldn't be until several leaks later that Hasbro ''finally'' acknowledged the existence of the ''Studio Series'' line, and revealed the first few [[wave]]s during New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], even offering a limited quantity of the first wave of Deluxe Class figures as an early release through the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] website. Simultaneously, [[TakaraTomy]] revealed their version of the line at [[Wonder Festival]] Winter 2018.
*Among the figures whose existence was revealed through the aforementioned July 2017 leak that were ''not'' officially unveiled at Toy Fair was Voyager Class Ironhide, who made his worldwide debut at retail in Singapore in June of 2018. Subsequently, Hasbro announced the redeco of Voyager Class Starscream (based on his appearance in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''), the final figure revealed through the July 2017 leak, via their "[[Hasbro Pulse]]" Instagram account a few days before [[San Diego Comic-Con]], even though they ''still'' hadn't officially acknowledged the existence of Ironhide by that point.
* Like with previous movie-based lines, ''Studio Series'' also assigned code names to at least some of its characters. This time, the "theme" for those code names was "Australian race horses":
{{collist|3|
:::*Bumblebee: "Stryker"
:::*Dropkick: "Blue Lightning" or "Blue Light"
:::*Megatron: "Fox"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Radar"
:::*KSI Sentry: "Sentry"
:::*Shadow Raider: "Mercenary"

:The code names of many of the other figures, assuming they even ''had'' code names, are still unknown, as those toys have (thus far) consistently been listed under their actual characters' names. Meanwhile, a listing for a supposed Voyager Class figure using the code name "Destroyer" later turned out to be a mislabeled Energon Igniters Speed Series [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Bumblebee|Barricade]] from the [[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|''Bumblebee'' movie toy line]], with which the ''Studio Series'' shares its code names.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)

2019-12-14T08:52:40Z

Alwaysless: /* Human Alliance */

{{nav-rotf}}

These are the officially announced toys for the 2009 live-action film ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]].''

The toyline was preceded by [[Movie (toyline)|the Movie toyline]] and led directly into the 2010 ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers]]'' toyline.

Among fans, many entries in the RotF toyline are notorious for their level of complexity - at times, baffling even the most hardcore fans of elaborate [[transform]]ation schemes. The complexity would be toned down for followup toylines in subsequent years.

====Human Alliance====
"[[Human Alliance]]" toys are slightly larger and more complex than a typical Voyager class. They are more movie-accurate than their Deluxe counterparts and feature open driver's compartments to seat the included human figures, as well as additional human-operated "battle stations" in robot mode.

[[File:Ironhideg1guido.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|This is what Ironhide's toys took 32 years to look like.]]

'''[[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]''' is a bot of many toys, all of which are tough customers.

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[File:G1 Ironhide toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Sit on my face and tell me that you love me.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (1984)
**''Accessories:'' "Static Laser Gun", gun post, 3 missiles

:Ironhide was part of the original assortment of [[Autobot]] cars released in 1984, transforming into a red Nissan Sunny-Vanette Coach SGL and sharing his mold with the contemporaneously released [[Ratchet (G1)/toys|Ratchet]]. Ironhide splits when he transforms, with most of the rear section of his van mode transforming into a [[Onebox component|battle platform]], and the remainder becoming his rather misshapen, headless robot form. The robot can mount onto the battle platform, which is armed with a raising missile launcher and front-mounted "Static Laser Gun". Unusually for toys of this period, the Static Laser Gun can actually store when Ironhide is in vehicle mode, plugging into his undercarriage (although the missiles for his launcher and the peg required to attach the laser don't go anywhere).

:As with all his fellow Autobot Cars from that year, Ironhide's mold derived from [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' line, a series which was ''not'' about sentient robots, but rather human-controlled machines. The Ironhide and Ratchet molds are the ones that most clearly show evidence of this: in place of a head, these toy robots had chairs behind windscreens where the human rider would control the robot. The figures did include [[sticker]]s to go over these seats that depicted a sort of robot face, but when Ironhide and Ratchet's [[character model]]s were created for ''Transformers'' media, all traces of the human-controlled design were removed to give the robots proper faces and heads, ultimately creating the two designs which diverged the most from the toys on which they were ostensibly based.

:The stripe on the side of his vehicle mode (a sticker on the toy) is actually based on a special edition of the Nissan Cherry Vanette. On the real vehicle, the rear section (which is black on the toy's sticker) is actually the sliding rear door rail.<ref name="stripe">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-general-discussion/438046-g1-ironhides-stripes-explained.html "G1 Ironhide's Stripes...EXPLAINED!"] at TFW2005</ref>

: For unknown reasons, Ironhide was the only Autobot Car not released by Takara as part of their [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|original retail line]] in any form (while Ratchet was not available at retail, he was available as a [[S.T.A.R.S.]] mail away item). Ironhide was reissued several times; this article lists each reissue separately where appropriate.

[[File:G1toy classic heroes ironhide.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.66|Gold box Onebox]]
*'''Classic Ironhide''' (Classic Heroes, 1990)
**''Accessories:'' "Static Laser Gun", gun post, 3 missiles

:The original Ironhide toy was first reissued in 1990 alongside several other early Transformers as part of the European-exclusive [[Classics (Europe)|''Classics'']] range. He was functionally identical to his original release.
{{-}}

===Generation 2===
[[File:G2Gobot Ironhide.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Not a Gateway.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Go-Bot, 1995)
**''Accessories:'' Gun

: Part of the second wave of [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]] focusing on Generation 1 characters, Ironhide transforms into a silver Ford F150 Flareside pickup truck. Using through-axle construction for his wheels, he is compatible with most "Hot Wheels" and "Matchbox" play sets and tracks.

: The mold is a [[redeco]] of ''Generation 2'' Go-Bots toy [[Motormouth]], and was later redecoed into the ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Spy Changer]] [[Ironhide (RID)|Ironhide]], the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Autobot [[Ironhide (RID)|Ironhide]], and the second ''Universe'' incarnation of [[Hoist (G1)/toys|Hoist]].

: The toy was later [[repurposing|repurposed]] to be a [[Ironhide (G2)|"next-generation" clone of Ironhide]].

{{-}}{{anchor|PowerMaster}}
[[File:G2-toy IronhidePM.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Technically always in vehicle mode!]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Power Master, 1995)
**''Accessories:'' 2 guns

:[[Power Master]] Ironhide transforms into a khaki camouflaged-and-armored Humvee. His main gimmick is his "Power Master" pull-back motor, which you use by pulling back on his motorized rear wheels, then placing one of his guns into one of the holes above the doors, which releases a catch and allows him to zip along a smooth surface.

:The Power Masters were the last toys in the ''Generation 2'' line, and were only released in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Oddly, the Australia and New Zealand releases were in US packaging, complete with [[Hasbro]]'s Rhode Island address. They also conspicuously lack any mention of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] in their stamped-on [[copyright]] information.

===Beast Wars===
[[File:Ironhide-bw-magnaboss-toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Yes, this Alien-faced monstrosity certainly screams out "G1 Ironhide"! Who could possibly think otherwise?!]]
*'''Magnaboss''' (Ultra Class, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' 2 guns

: Ironhide transforms from an elephant via a rather complex process involving numerous hinges and unfolding panels into a rather stumpy robot. Although dumpy, he is nothing if not well-armed: he has a flip-out spike at the end of each arm, and comes with two removable guns that flip out from behind his elephant mode ears, and which can be plugged into the holes at the ends of his arms. Ironhide is packaged with [[Prowl (G1)/toys|Prowl]] and [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]], and combines with them to form his [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]]. Ironhide forms the bulk of the combiner's mass, including all four limbs.

:The Magnaboss toy included no information about its three components beyond their names. In 2007, [[IDW Publishing]] decided to retroactively establish that the trio were the ''Generation 1'' characters of the same names, and included this revelation in their ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook]]''.

: Ironhide was slightly redecoed to create [[Santon]].

===Collectors' Edition===
[[File:G1toy collectors edition ironhide.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Ironhide''' (e-HOBBY exclusive, June 2001)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''98'''
**''Accessories:'' "Static Laser Gun", gun post, 3 missiles

:Ironhide was made available in Japan for the first time as part of the ''[[Collector's Edition]]'' line of reissues, available exclusively from online retailer [[e-HOBBY]] in a two-pack with mold-mate Ratchet. As the first Japanese edition of Ironhide, this was the first time the toy had been given a [[List of Japanese ID numbers|Japanese ID number]].

===Timelines===
[[File:TF-Timelines-Descent-into-Evil-Ironhide.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Red, red, and also red.]]
*'''Descent into Evil''' (Multi-figure boxset, 2005)
**''Accessories:'' Fold out gun/radar energon weapon, BotCon 2005 pin
: A [[BotCon 2005]] convention exclusive, ''[[Transformers Timelines (fiction)|Timelines]]'' Ironhide was only available in the ''[[Descent into Evil]]'' boxset. He is a [[retool]] and redeco of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Tow-Line (Energon)|Tow-Line]], with a newly sculpted head resembling his Generation 1 animation model. Like his original toy, Ironhide splits from a van into a robot mode and a [[Onebox component|battle sled]], each featuring [[powerlinx]] ports that allow them to combine with any other compatible Deluxe or Mega from the ''Energon'' toyline; Ironhide himself forms the "torso" in such a combination (armed with small guns that flip out from his feet to become over-shoulder blasters), while his battle sled becomes the "legs" for another robot. Because of his unusual design, Ironhide can powerlinx with his own battle sled. Ironhide is armed with a translucent blue [[Energon weapon]] that can fit in his fist in robot mode, mount on his battle sled, and transform into a radar array to mount on top of his van mode.

: Ironhide's retooled mold was also used for ''Timelines'' [[Ratchet (G1)/toys|Ratchet]].

===Encore===
[[File:Encoretoy-Ironhidewithhead.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|His head problem just became a shoulders problem.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''05'''
**''Accessories:'' "Static Laser Gun", gun post, 3 missiles

: Ironhide's original Generation 1 toy was made available again in mid-December 2007 as part of Takara's ongoing ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' line of [[Generation 1 reissues|reissues]]. This version was distinguished by the inclusion of a "head" of sorts for the figure: one of the toy's box flaps featured an illustration of Ironhide's cartoon-design head and chest windshield which could be punched out along its perforated edges, and then slotted behind the toy's windshield. This hid the "chair-face" of the original toy and gave Ironhide his cartoon face... at the cost of making his arms appear to grow out of his waist.

:This version of the toy was [[retool]]ed to add a pair of "clips" to the [[Onebox component|mobile platform's]] gun-base, designed to keep Ironhide more securely attached when riding it. However, these clips are right where a pair of decals normally go. Additionally, like the original Japanese release of the figure (but [[for safety reasons|unlike Hasbro's version]]), the missile launcher now fires.

[[File:G1toy protect black ironhide.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Once you go black, you go back to red shortly afterwards.]]
*'''Protect Black Ironhide''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''05'''
**''Accessories:'' "Static Laser Gun", gun post, 3 missiles

:Tied in to Ironhide's ''Encore'' reissue was e-HOBBY's [[exclusive]] "New Year Special" [[redeco]] of the figure: Protect Black Ironhide. The toy was priced at 4725 yen, and pre-orders were taken until [[January 11]]th 2008, with a shipping date of April 2008.

:The new [[bio]] accompanying the release of the toy notes that Ironhide acquired this protective black coating to disguise himself from both Decepticons and members of the [[human]] criminal underworld, to better allow him to do his job as Optimus Prime's bodyguard. The bio also gives a name to the "mode" that consists of Ironhide standing atop his artillery platform, dubbing it his "Marauder Mode".

:[http://www.e-hobby.co.jp/shop/shopdetail.html?brandcode=034000000005&search=%A5%A2%A5%A4%A5%A2%A5%F3%A5%CF%A5%A4%A5%C9 According to e-HOBBY], the black coloration is meant to [[homage]] the original ''Diaclone'' toy which became Ironhide, but between the release of Emergency Green Ratchet and the bio's reference to black pickup trucks, it's easy to see this is also an homage to [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys|the new live-action movie Ironhide]]. The packaging is the same as the regular TF Encore Ironhide's.

: As the first new-mold Ironhide toy designed to resemble the original character, ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Ironhide transforms into a red SUV of made-up model. His chest features an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]-like gimmick that sees mechanical detailing rise up behind his chestplate when his bumper is lowered. He is armed with a double-ended "Converting Cannon" weapon, which deploys a translucent melee blade from one end, and a gatling cannon from the other. Although the instructions indicate that Ironhide's weapon should be attached by flipping his hand to the side of his wrist (as in transformation) and fitting the weapon over the naked wrist, the hand ''can'' in fact be made to fit inside the weapon with some careful jiggling.

: His [[stock photography]] (seen [[:File:Universe 2008 Ironhide Toy.jpg|here]]) shows him with a silver face and hubcaps, but as the final product shows, that didn't happen. While Hasbro claimed there would be a [[Variant|running change]] that would have the face in silver, no such change occurred. Speaking of packaging, Ironhide was also the first new ''Universe'' figure to have [[package art]] that wasn't burdened with [[dull surprise]].

: The figure has a couple of production flaws. Due to a combination of three places on the figure having too much plastic, Ironhide's head assembly does not have the clearance to rise up fully, and it ends up looking like he's hanging his head in shame. However, with some heavy tinkering, the head can be raised to a more level, straight position [http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transtopia-fix-universe-20-ironhides-low-self-esteem/14298/]. The paint on the car roof has also been reported to rub off over time, and can have a sticky feel to it.

: This mold was retooled to make [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|''Universe'' Ratchet]] and ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei!]]'' [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Ratchet]] (surprising absolutely no one), plus [[BotCon 2012]]'s [[Soundwave (SG)#TLSoundwave|Sir Soundwave]]. This toy also served as the model for the [[Ironhide (SG)|''Shattered Glass'' incarnation]] of Ironhide.

*'''Ironhide''' (Deluxe Class, 2008-[[November 20|11-20]])
**''Japanese ID number'': '''C-11'''
**''Accessories'': Converting Cannon

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]] Transformers'' Ironhide is a redeco of ''Universe'' Ironhide, with a view to making him far more accurate to his [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]] appearance. To this end, a generally darker shade of red plastic and lighter gray plastic are used. Additionally, the blue paint used for his opaque windows is a better match to his transparent blue windows than on Hasbro's ''Universe'' toy. As with all ''Henkei'' toys, Ironhide features [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] silver for his headlights, brake lights and his Converting Cannon housing.

:Although the instructions indicate that Ironhide's weapon should be attached by flipping his hand to the side of his wrist (as in transformation) and fitting the weapon over the naked wrist, the hand can in fact be made to fit inside the weapon with some careful jiggling.

: After being teased for over a year (see below), a [[Kreon]] Ironhide finally came out as part of the biggest ''[[Kre-O]] Transformers'' set yet. Based on the original character's cartoon model, Kreon Ironhide is the lone defender of a construction site playset against four full-sized [[Constructicon (Kre-O)|Constructicon]] brick-bots; [[Scrapper (Kre-O)|Scrapper]], [[Drill Bit (Kre-O)|Drill Bit]], [[Scavenger (Kre-O)|Scavenger]], and [[Hightower (Kre-O)|Hightower]].

: Part of the first assortment of "Custom Kreons", this version of Ironhide comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his many many extra pieces. His [[tampograph]]s are much more heavily-detailed than the original Kreon, based on the [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Generation 1|original Ironhide toy]]. His "normal" helmet and large cannon (originally from ''Kre-O [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'') are [[chrome]]d, plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), plus a buildable cannon based around the aforementioned chrome gun, a small pistol (originally a [[Klingon]] disruptor from ''Kre-O [[Star Trek]]''), a bendable gripping-claw, and a double-headed staff weapon.

: Take extreme care with the chrome rifle/clear-plastic barrel combination, as attaching the two pieces will pretty much guarantee stress fractures on the clear-plastic barrel.

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Bot Shots (toyline)|Bot Shots]]'' Series 1 launchers, Ironhide is a teeny pickup truck (with spoiler) with a [[Autotransformation|spring-loaded automatic transformation]] to robot mode triggered when his front bumper is pressed. He has a "spinner" in his chest that shows his three attack types and power levels. His alternate mode and chest design are based on [[Ironhide (Movie)|live-action movie Ironhide]], with his head being based on the original Generation 1 Ironhide.

:He comes with a large trailer that pops open into a battle station with a pair of articulated buzzsaw-arms, and a spring-loaded vehicle launching ramp. The cannons on top of the trailer are based on live-action movie Ironhide's cannons.

:Ironhide was redecoed into [[Dirt Boss (Cybertron)#Bot Shots|Super Bot Dirt Boss]], [[Hound (G1)/toys#Bot Shots|Blitz Shot Autobot Hound]] and [[Swindle (G1)#Bot Shots|Swindle]].

*'''Ironhide''' (Deluxe Class, 2015)
**''Accessories:'' Axe, "super-cooled nitrogen/white-hot molten lead" dual cannon/hand/foot/engine

: Part of the fourth wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]] [[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Ironhide is a redeco/new-head retool of [[Offroad#Generations|Decepticon Offroad]], which transforms from a 4x4 double-cab pickup truck which is reminiscent of his [[Ironhide (Movie)|live-action movie counterpart]] to robot and back! As a ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe figure he can form a combined-mode limb for any Voyager Class toys from the same subline or any ''Unite Warriors'' figure or into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber's]] legs but is, of course, intended to be combined with Sunstreaker, Mirage, Prowl, and Optimus Prime to create [[Optimus Maximus (G1)#Toys|Optimus Maximus]]. He is also officially associated with [[Betatron]] and [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]]. A sticker sheet was sold at [[BotCon 2016]] to enhance Ironhide's resemblance to the original ''Beast Wars'' figure.

:He includes a [[5mm post|5mm handle]] axe weapon, and a larger accessory that can form a hand or foot in limb mode, a gun for robot mode, and can be mounted on a tab in the vehicle mode's truck bed to form a giant engine block. In an unadvertised feature, the peg on his engine weapon is the right size to mount a [[Mini-Con]] on.

:While the front hood/windshields are needed to be folded as kneecaps for his leg mode, the piece also sticks out automatically if he collides to Optimus Prime/Motormaster's (or and of Hot Spot's redecoes/retools) protruding foot while the legs are being swiveled in his standing position, unless the leg joints are bent down to lessen the problem.

: Hilariously, the robot mode [[stock photography|stock photo]] depicting a hand-painted [[prototype]] that's featured on the back of the toy's packaging is missing the wheel on his right leg.

:Ironhide is packed with the comic book "[[First Contact (IDW)|First Contact]]", rebranded as ''Combiner Wars'' #15. In Canada, Latin America, and Europe, he was available in different types of [[multilingual packaging]] including a character card featuring his comic book cover/[[package art]] instead. He and the last three waves of Combiner Wars Deluxe and Voyager figures later started showing up at TJ Maxx at reduced prices with the collector card.

:The original sculpt was redecoed as [[Ruckus (G1)#Generations|Grabuge]], heavily retooled as [[First Aid (G1)#Generations|First Aid]] and differently retooled as [[Trailbreaker (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Trailbreaker]].

**''Japanese ID number'': '''SG-17'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[April 27]], 2019'''
**''Accessories:'' "W-35 LR Doomblast Forge Launcher"
:Part of the second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Ironhide is a new mold that transforms from robot to Cybertronian van and back. His vehicle mode takes several design cues from ''Titans Return'' [[Kup (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Sergeant Kup]], though it shares no parts or engineering with the mold. In spite of the downsizing of the Deluxe class in Siege compared to previous lines, Ironhide is largely unaffected and is actually a full head taller than the rest of his Deluxe-priced mates. He includes a gigantic missile launcher cannon called the "W-35 LR Doomblast Forge Launcher," compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], that can also convert into an equally gigantic hammer. As with all non-gimmick ''Siege'' figures, Ironhide features  "battle damage" paint applications on his lower shins, feet and weapon. He also features multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:Ironhide suffers from a production flaw that causes the molded hinges on his legs to be too small to properly house the side panels from his vehicle mode, causing them to pop off at the slightest pressure. This can be resolved by removing the panels and using a small screwdriver to carefully widen the pegholes, which creates enough clearance to properly house the panels within the hinges.

:Ironhide was given a new head as [[Crosshairs (G1)#Generations|Crosshairs]], and was retooled into [[Ratchet_(G1)/toys#War_for_Cybertron:_Siege|Ratchet]].

: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Ironhide is a new mold that transforms into a licensed Cherry Vanette. He is in the standard Masterpiece [[scale]] (since [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-9]]), standing between MP-10 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|Convoy]] and MP-12 [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Lambor]] in bot mode and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Convoy's trailer]] in vehicle mode

: He comes with a bunch of accessories referencing many of the gadgets he used in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]]. Ironhide's [[character model]] did not include any weapons or other extra tools or devices, meaning there was little to no consistency in the depiction of his armament in the series; as such, the toy picks and chooses from the many weapons and accoutrements he was seen using. He includes a pair of generic Autobot laser pistols of the same design as the gun that came with ''Masterpiece'' Bumblebee (which Ironhide began using in "[[Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1]]") which can be stored on the underside of his vehicle mode, a larger gun based on his original toy's Static Laser Gun (similar weapons having been seen in "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]" and "[[A Prime Problem]]"), a set of alternate hands representing his ability to spray liquids through his fingertips (done in multiple episodes), a set of nozzles that can be exchanged for his hands based on those seen in "[[Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1]]", a second set of nozzles based not on anything from the cartoon, but on the ''connector peg'' for his Static Laser Gun from his original toy, the back-mounded missile launcher from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]" based on his original toy's launcher, his wrist-mounted sonodar sensor dish from "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]", complimented by a readout image of dinosaur bones that can be slipped behind his windshield, and the jetpack seen in "[[The Immobilizer]]", complete with jet-flare effects. A peg hole on the roof of his vehicle mode can hold one of the laser pistols or the Static Laser Gun.

:Since ''Masterpiece'' Ironhide's robot mode incorporates the entire vehicle mode, a separate "battle sled" piece has been included, based on the component of the original toy, that can store all of Ironhide's accessories, including a second face piece that stores on the underside of the sled. In an additional nod to the original G1 toy, specifically its lack of a proper head, there is a sculpted detail resembling the "face" decal that went on the seat of the original toy that is visible through the windshield in van mode, that gets tucked away in robot mode.

: There have been reports that the first release of the mold's chrome parts suffer from early corrosion similar to the issues encountered with the initial MP-5 [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP5|Megatron]].

:If purchased from a seller supplied by Hasbro Asia, Ironhide includes a collector coin, mounted in a card which resembles the front of his van mode. It may have also included a [[die cast]] drill accessory, based on the one he used in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]". The drill accessory came in a small case styled to resemble a tool case.<ref>[http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/09/14/masterpiece-ironhide-asia-exclusive-drill-accessory-images-324829 Masterpiece Ironhide Asia exclusive drill accessory images]</ref>

Other changes include the stripes being yellow-y orange, a black paint is added on the front roof, and his gunmetal paint on the hood & wheel rims are now silver.

Like all the figures in the series, Ironhide featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. He was available in red as part of a 22-piece box set of Autobot figures, in peach as part of various other randomly-packed box sets released by Takara subsidiary [[Seven]], and in a wide variety of different colors in "gachapon" capsule machines.

: Ironhide was likely to have been one of several ''Transformers [[Attacktix]]'' Booster pieces. Though displayed as part of the ''Attacktix'' display at the ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' "Celebration IV" convention, he —and all the other pieces revealed at the show— were ultimately never released.

*'''Ironhide''' (2008)

:A non-transforming PVC figure of Ironhide was released as part of a promotion by [[Boss Coffee]]. The small figure was randomly included with single cans of the company's "Rainbow Mountain Blend" coffee, contained in a plastic capsule affixed to the top of can which then became a display base for the figurine once removed. Ironhide features articulation at the shoulders and waist, and came with a small catalog leaflet that could be folded up and attached to the lid/base to form a diorama background for added display value.

*'''Ironhide''' (2009)

:Released by Diamond Select Toys in 2009, Ironhide was sculpted by [[Mark Wong]] of [[Art Asylum]] and limited to 1000 pieces. This detailed bust is based on Ironhide's (you guessed it) cartoon/comic model, but with much more detailing and with elements of his toy design. These include his vehicle sled's missile launcher mounted on his shoulder, his wielding of his sled's static laser gun and his original Diaclone "face" being present behind his windshield. In addition to the missile launcher being removable his open left hand can be replaced with a hand gripping his cartoon pistol for two handed "chop busting."

==Notes==
*The black ''[[Diaclone]]'' version of Ironhide was sold by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] in North America as the ''[[Diakron]]'' "DK-2" Car/Robot in 1983, seemingly just a few months before he would be rebranded as a Transformer.
[[File:Generation2LightSpeed.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|You have to be pretty desperate to copy Blowout's motto.]]
*An early version of [[Power Master]] Ironhide's artwork in blue and yellow was used on packaging mock-ups displayed around [[Hasbro]]'s headquarters bearing the names "Light Speed", "Belzone", and "Pothole", though no release of these toys was ever intended.
*A mock-up of a new [[Camshaft (G1)|Camshaft]] toy in the form of a ''Universe'' (2008) Ironhide redeco was shown in ''[[Transformers Generations 2014]]'' Vol. 1 as one of ten potential exclusives for Vol. 2. During the fan poll held to determine which of the ten would be produced, Camshaft claimed only 1.6% of the votes, leaving him in second-to-last place.<ref>[http://millionhero.sblo.jp/article/101898683.html Poll results at Hero-X]</ref>
*In the first year of ''[[Kre-O]]'', long before Devastator's set was released, an Ironhide Kreon was included in a turntable display of Kreons found in some retail outlets, often labeled as Sideswipe. He taunted you.

:''Soundwave is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Rotf soundwave satellite mode.jpg|thumb|375px|Earth beeelooowww us, drifting, falling...]]
'''Soundwave''', the Decepticon communications officer and one of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s staunchest supporters, doesn't just master the frequencies that carry information across our planet, he revels in them. Stationed high in the upper atmosphere and capable of processing millions of data streams at once, he is fully capable of taking over communications on a planetary scale. Whether he uses this to direct civilization or destroy it remains to be seen.

Soundwave has two extremely powerful weapons: his spread of [[sonic cannon]]s... and Megatron. If any Decepticon crosses him, he does not hesitate to send a full record of said Decepticon's failures to Megatron, almost certainly ensuring an untimely demise. His lofty position has made [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] suspicious, so Soundwave has his minion [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] keep an eye on the [[Air Commander]] if he gets out of hand. Soundwave is also nearly defenseless in space, as his devastating sonic cannons only work within the atmosphere.<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro Soundwave Battle Bio]</ref>

Besides Ravage, Soundwave works well with [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]], [[Buzzsaw (ROTF)|Buzzsaw]], [[Rumble (ROTF)|Rumble]], [[Beastbox (ROTF)|Beastbox]], [[Ratbat (ROTF)|Ratbat]], [[Doombox]], and (possibly) [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] and [[Howlback (BB)|Howlback]].

==Fiction==
===Movies===
{{note|The six movies are the primary component of the live-action movie continuity family. Their events should be taken as canon for all other pieces of fiction listed below, unless otherwise specified.}}
====''Bumblebee'' film====
{{voiceactor|[[Jon Bailey]] (English), [[Takaki Ōtomari]] (Japanese)}}
[[File:BumblebeeMovieSoundwave.jpeg|thumb|left|250px|"Operation: Fanwank."]]
After [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] had disappeared, Soundwave and [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] assumed command of the Decepticon army. Under their joint leadership, the Decepticons conquered [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], forcing the Autobots to abandon the planet. When the Decepticons launched a final assault on the last Autobot city, Soundwave's arrival on the battlefield and subsequent order for the Decepticons to attack prompted [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] to call for his forces to retreat to the Autobots' launchpad. Despite the Seekers destroying the launchpad, all the Autobots but Prime managed to escape immediate danger. When Prime fell back to ground level, Soundwave unleashed [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] to attack the Autobot leader and signaled the other Decepticons to surround him. Despite this, Prime managed to evade capture and eventually leave the planet. {{storylink|Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee}}
{{-}}

====''Revenge of the Fallen'' film====
{{voiceactor|[[Frank Welker]] (English, European French, Castilian Spanish, Italian), [[Daisuke Gōri]] (Japanese)|[[Zhang Yaohan]] (Chinese), [[Horst Lampe]] (German), [[Leonardo García]] (American Spanish), [[Stéphane Rivard]] (Canadian French)}}
[[File:ROTF-Soundwaveface.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Next time, Gadget. Next time.]]
By the late 2000s, Soundwave received a transmission from [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]], who was tailing [[Mikaela Banes]], and instructed him to obtain a surviving shard of the [[AllSpark]] in her possession. He found a satellite transmitting a conversation between [[NEST]] and the [[United States military]]. Tapping into it with his tentacles to listen, Soundwave overheard [[Theodore Galloway]] mention another shard of the AllSpark in storage at [[Diego Garcia]], and of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s burial in the [[Laurentian Abyss]]. Formulating a plan, Soundwave waited until it would be nightfall on Diego Garcia, then ejected [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] (who was equipped with [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]] and the [[Microcon (ROTF)|microcons]] that form [[Reedman]]) to Diego Garcia to steal the shard. Once they had stolen the shard, they reunited with some [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] and managed to resurrect their leader.

[[File:ROTF Soundwave ejects Ravage.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|M.A.D. Cat, eject!]]
Soundwave remained in space, tapping into the satellite he had found. When Megatron decided to reveal the [[Transformer]]s presence on [[Earth]] after killing [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], Soundwave issued the mobilization order to the waiting troops on the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]''. As the Decepticons streaked toward Earth, Soundwave tracked down [[Ron Witwicky|Ron]] and [[Judy Witwicky]] in [[France|Paris]]. He called Judy on her cellphone, demanding to know where Sam was, which the human dismissed as a prank call by a pervert. This allowed the Decepticons to track them down and capture them to use as bait for Sam. When the CIA discovered that Sam was in [[Egypt]], Soundwave relayed the information to the Decepticons. During [[Operation: Firestorm]], Soundwave blocked the satellites covering the Egyptian area, making things appear normal. General [[Morshower]] was unconvinced though and got other local informants to know what was happening at the [[pyramid]]s. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|Soundwave’s involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]," and "[[Revenge of the Fallen: The Junior Novel]]," the comic mini-series "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation]]," and the storybooks "[[The Last Prime]]," "[[Rise of the Decepticons]]" and "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Mix & Match]]." In the comic, Megatron rendezvoused with Soundwave after killing Optimus, making the demand for Sam Witwicky himself, which Soundwave broadcast through the satellite he clutched.}}

====''Dark of the Moon'' film====
{{voiceactor|[[Frank Welker]] (English), [[Jirō Saitō]] (Japanese)|[[Gai Wenge]] (Chinese), [[Horst Lampe]] (German), [[Leonardo García]] (American Spanish), [[Mario Bombardieri]] (Italian), [[Bernard Métraux]] (European French), [[Stéphane Rivard]] (Canadian French)}}
During the 1970s, Soundwave had tried to hide the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'s presence on the [[moon (moon)|moon]] by gaining human contacts in the [[United States of America|United States]] and [[Soviet Union]], whose creative accounting would render further trips to the moon financially unfeasible. One of these was [[Dylan Gould|Dylan Gould's]] father, while Dylan himself would later accept Soundwave as a ''client''.

[[File:DOTM-LaserbeakSoundwave.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Carly will wonder why her car has claw marks all over the door.]]
With the failure of the schemes of The Fallen and Megatron, the Decepticons now planned to alert [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] to the ''Ark'''s existence so he could revive [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] with the [[Matrix of Leadership]] for them.

[[File:DOTM-Soundwavecar.jpg|thumb|225px|Unknown to Speed, Racer X is secretly his older brother, Soundwave, who ran away from home years ago!]]
Soundwave went undercover on Earth as a [[Mercedes-Benz]] SLS AMG. He and his winged minion [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]] visited the incapicitated Megatron in [[Africa]], and informed the ex-tyrant that Optimus had discovered an Ark fuel cell at the [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant]], and had recovered the body of [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] and five of his Space Bridge [[pillar]]s. Megatron decided it was time to eliminate loose ends in their plan, so Soundwave sent Laserbeak to further draw out the Autobots by killing many of their human contacts, including [[Jerry Wang]].

[[File:Soundwavecapturescarly.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Stupid dog! You made me look bad! ''*whrr-tschzz-tschzz-tschzz-chk*'' Oooga-booga-booga!]]
Meanwhile, the disguised Soundwave was "given" by their human ally Dylan, the one human they did not kill, as a gift to [[Sam Witwicky]]'s new girlfriend [[Carly Spencer]]. He was used as a car to transport Carly to Dylan's party. During the party, Sam and Carly tried to leave, only for Soundwave and Laserbeak to reveal themselves, and the sonic warrior took Carly hostage. Gould explained his relationship with the two Decepticons while Soundwave used his tentacles to threaten Carly, and the pair forced Sam into finding out the Autobot's plan for a counter-attack.

[[File:DOTM-Soundwaveexecute.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Look, I'm kind of busy. Hey [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], want to do some of my lines for me?]]
During the Decepticon occupation of [[Chicago]], Soundwave took several Autobots prisoner until Gould stated that things had gotten personal and the Autobots needed a lesson of respect, and Soundwave happily concurred: "No prisoners, only trophies". He and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] began by executing [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Que]]. He then selected [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] to be his victim and dragged him forward, pushing him onto the body of his fallen comrade. He then told the Autobot to turn around as was about to execute him, but he was distracted by [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and [[Brains]]'s sabotage of a Decepticon aircraft carrier, raining [[Orbital Assault Carrier|fighters]] onto the battlefield. The Autobot scout took advantage of this small slip of opportunity and punched Soundwave as they battled through the chaos, causing him to drop one of his guns. Evading Soundwave's [[sonic cannon]] blasts, Bumblebee eventually blasted part of Soundwave's leg, causing him to drop his remaining gun, and he lunged at the Autobot. Bumblebee then delivered the final blow by throwing an uppercut to Soundwave's torso and shooting upwards, disintegrating the Decepticon's head and killing him. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

{{note|Soundwave’s involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]" and "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon: The Junior Novel]]"; the "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation]]" and "[[Movie Trilogy]]" comics; and the storybooks "[[Optimus Prime's Friends and Foes]]" and "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Mix & Match]]."}}

====''The Last Knight'' film====
When [[Viviane Wembly]] was abducted by [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Hot Rod]], she remarked that her captor had better be a famous Transformer, like Shockwave or Soundwave, perhaps unaware that both Decepticons were deceased. Hot Rod retorted that he was more impressive than either of them. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

===IDW movie comics===
Thousands of years ago on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Soundwave stood by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s side on Unification Day, when a new era of Cybertronian government was ushered in that saw the planet ruled by two bodies—Megatron's [[Defense Force]], of which Soundwave became a part, and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]]'s [[Science Division]]. Megatron's lust for power soon led him to claim dominion over Optimus, however, and Soundwave was silently present when Megatron summoned Optimus and made this declaration. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

[[File:Defiance4Soundwave.jpg|thumb|left|100px|No full body shot in the movie or comics.]]

Some time later, Megatron came under the influence of [[The Fallen]], who sought to be freed from the [[sarcophagus]] that was his trans-dimensional prison. To this end, Soundwave was assigned captaincy of the newly built spacecraft ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', which would take the sarcophagus across the galaxy to find the world on which The Fallen had built a [[Star Harvester]] millennia beforehand. Soundwave and his crew left Cybertron with The Fallen's sarcophagus just before the outbreak of war. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}{{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

After thousands of years of searching the stars, Soundwave's ''Nemesis'' detected the faint energy signature of the [[AllSpark]], which had been jettisoned from Cybertron in their absence. Unfortunately for them, so did [[Ark (DOTM)|the Ark]], an Autobot spacecraft that had also left Cybertron after the ''Nemesis'' and which was teleporting around space and time via a [[space bridge]]. The Ark materialized partially within the ''Nemesis'', the intersection of their molecules crippled both ships. While the Ark teleported away, leaving a temporary space bridge portal lingering in its wake, the Decepticons managed to set the ''Nemesis'' down on a barren moon. For the first time, The Fallen, recognizing the space bridge as the technology of [[Dynasty of Primes|his people]], spoke directly into Soundwave's mind, directing him to take the Decepticons aboard the smaller ship ''[[Longshot (DOTM)|Longshot]]'' and follow the Ark through the portal. Complying, Soundwave's crew found themselves hurled into the future, appearing in the vicinity of Earth in the year [[1961]] alongside the Ark. The Autobot craft proceeded to crash on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]], and Soundwave quickly determined to keep [[human]]kind from plundering the treasures it contained: mysterious [[pillar]]s that he had his crew set about removing from the ship and stockpiling. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1}}

Unfortunately for Soundwave, humanity detected the crash of the Ark upon the Moon, and a "space race" began between the [[United States of America]] and the [[Soviet Union]] to be the first to reach the Moon. The Soviets were first to send probes that photographed the moon's surface: in [[1963]], their [[Luna 4]] captured an image of the pillars as they were being moved. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} Realizing the necessity of infiltrating the ranks of humanity in order to control the flow of data, Soundwave had the [[Alice (ROTF)|Pretender]] kill and replace Spetsnaz agent [[Alisa Morozov]] in [[1964]]; then, in [[1965]], as the Soviets' [[Luna 6]] was in flight, he sent her to [[Soviet Research Station Oktober]] to massacre the scientists awaiting data the probe would send back. Convinced by the Pretender that Humanity could be subverted towards their ends, Soundwave struck a deal with the sole surviving scientist, [[Voskhod]], to curtail further Soviet moon missions. In the process, the Pretender also learned that both America and Russia allegedly had a Cybertronian in their individual custodies, but Soundwave dismissed them as rumors, preferring to focus on the trail of the AllSpark and the Star Harvester. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 2}}

[[File:RisingStorm2 soundwave voskhod.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Soundwave is the master at the beautiful art of photo-bombing.]]

Realizing that a captive American secret agent, [[Bill Simmons]] had escaped from Research Station Oktober during the Pretender's attack, Soundwave spent two months scanning information lines in search of him, eventually discovering him when he returned to North America and made contact with his superiors. Although the Pretender failed to finish him off, Soundwave had at last learned of Simmons's well-hidden organization: [[Sector Seven]]. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 3}} In [[1969]], he monitored the launch of their [[Ghost 1]] craft, believing it to be of greater importance than the [[Apollo 11]] moon mission, but his guess proved incorrect: Thanks to Soundwave's being distracted, astronauts [[Neil Armstrong]] and [[Buzz Aldrin]] were able to carry out the first brief excavation of the Ark. Incensed by his failure, Soundwave grew even more determined to find a mole within the American space program, and he set [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] to find prospective candidates. He found a [[NASA]] accountant named Gould and tapped the stock market to provide enough financial persuasion for the human to manipulate the NASA budget to halt moon missions from [[1972]] onwards. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

Soundwave spent the rest of the 1970s recruiting more human pawns to prevent the Ark from being rediscovered. Eventually, in [[1979]], deciding that everything was secure, he and his crew departed Earth on the ''Longshot'' to reconvene with The Fallen back aboard the ''Nemesis'', but with no space bridge portal to teleport them, the voyage took something in the vicinity of fourteen years. A brief talk with The Fallen yielded information: in Soundwave's absence, Megatron had visited the ''Nemesis'', on the trail of the AllSpark. Soundwave realized that his leader must have been one of the Cybertronians in captivity on Earth, and immediately departed to return to the planet, putting most of his crew in statis. Before leaving, he presented The Fallen with one of the pillars from the Ark; after he left, The Fallen used it to finally free himself from his sarcophagus. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

[[File:SoundwaveAllianceIssue2.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|Alas, poor Dreadwing. I knew him, Ravage.]]

During Soundwave's return voyage to Earth, Decepticon forces under the command of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] had arrived on the planet and freed Megatron, only for both the Decepticon leader and the AllSpark to be destroyed in battle in [[Mission City]]. Soundwave returned one month after his leader's death, but detoured briefly to investigate a space-time anomaly on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]]. There, he discovered a jury-rigged space bridge created from one of the Ark's pillars (created by [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]]), the remains of [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing's]], an imprint of [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy's]] body, {{storylink|Alliance issue 2|Alliance #2}} and a message from Starscream that informed him of the recent events on Earth. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}} Soundwave immediately made contact with Starscream, who had just finished battling [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]], and ordered him back to the ''Longshot'' to awaken the rest of his crew from stasis. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2}}{{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}} Dispatching what few crew members were currently active to begin searching the planet for the Star Harvester, Soundwave assumed the form of a satellite and took up orbit around Earth. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

As the search continued, Soundwave re-established contact with his many human pawns, including Gould's son [[Dylan Gould|Dylan]], who had inherited his father's role as Decepticon liaison. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

Months after the battle in Egypt, Soundwave detected [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] was alive and active, and was furious someone else was ordering his pet around. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 5|Tales of the Fallen #5}} Monitoring Earth, he observed [[Alice (ROTF)|Alice]]'s attempt at flight and subsequent termination by [[NEST]]. [[Buzzsaw (ROTF)|Buzzsaw]], who he'd dispatched to [[Kingdom Petrochemicals]] to investigate Ravage's status, reported back that there were non-NEST humans poking around there, so Soundwave sent in [[Ratbat (ROTF)|Ratbat]], [[Rumble (ROTF)|Rumble]] and [[Beastbox (ROTF)|Beastbox]] to attack. Surprisingly [[Initiative|the humans]] were a match for the Decepticons, and Soundwave moved in to take direct action, however at that point the Autobots arrived. Soundwave destroyed [[Breakaway (ROTF)|Breakaway]], but when the human forces pulled out, so too did Soundwave. To his surprise, he found he wasn't able to track where the departing humans had gone. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 1|Nefarious #1}}

[[File:Nefarious3 Soundwave bondage.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67]]
Ravage was reactivated by Buzzsaw, allowing Soundwave to access his memories. Acting on one memory, he sent Buzzsaw to help [[Strike Team Ursa]] while he rendezvoused with Ravage for an examination. When Strike Team Ursa triggered defenses, Soundwave warned them to withdraw. They did, but ran into [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], and Soundwave was forced to come to their aid. Unfortunately, Optimus Prime was also on the way, and Soundwave was no match for the Autobot leader. He tried to suggest it would be advantageous for them to let him go, but Optimus took him into custody. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 2|Nefarious #2}} Soundwave was secured and put on a plane bound for [[Odessa]], [[Texas]], however the plane was shot down by Buzzsaw, and then [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s team had [[Dirt Boss (ROTF)|Dirt Boss]] and Soundwave's minions to contend with as well. Soundwave tried to get Ravage to free him, but the cat's free will was overridden by an external force. In the end, Soundwave was too much trouble and Bumblebee let the Decepticons have him back. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 3|Nefarious #3}}

Soundwave tracked Ravage back to the [[Initiative base]] in [[California]]. After sending the other Decepticons in first to test the base's defenses, he moved in himself, only to find that the foe he faced had an army of brainwashed Transformers. He somehow escaped them and proceeded to the NEST base in Odessa. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 4|Nefarious #4}} He led the Autobots to the base's location, though he "neglected" to tell them about the brainwashed Transformers, but the base was gone, leading to the conclusion it was somehow mobile. Tapping into traffic cameras, he traced the base to [[Oregon]]. When they got there and began the assault, Soundwave was snootily dismissive of the Autobots' combat banter. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5|Nefarious #5}} While the Initiative was distracted, Soundwave was able to reactivate Ravage and send [[Reedman]] to attack Initiative head [[Carter Newell]]. When Newell tried to flee with the AllSpark, Soundwave ordered Buzzsaw to assist Optimus Prime in pursuing him. It was only after everything was over that NEST discovered that the Initiative databanks had been mysteriously picked clean... {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6|Nefarious #6}}

Adopting a new body, Soundwave then took up residence at Megatron's base in [[Namibia]]. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} When [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] discovered [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]]'s [[Driller]] in the [[Adirondack Mountains]], Soundwave was present to jam their communications and then send his minions to attack them. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}} With Elita-One leaving to warn the Autobots about Shockwave in person, the other two were surrounded by Soundwave and his animals. They chose to sacrifice themselves using a powerful bomb, though Soundwave managed to escape the explosion and return to Namibia. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

===Titan movie comics===
Soundwave appeared unknown to the Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}} He commanded a small Decepticon cell, based out of [[Mars (planet)|Mars]]' moon [[Phobos (moon)|Phobos]]. While nominally under the command of [[The Fallen]], The Fallen was merely in ''contact'' with the Decepticons and currently incapacitated. This left Soundwave free to do his ''own'' thing... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

[[File:Titan4 Soundwaveinterrogate.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only... Oops, wrong movie.]]

One of his goals was to find the location of the [[Tomb of the Primes]]. The aging [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]] [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]] knew it but would only tell it to The Fallen. ''Strangely'' unwilling to put The Fallen and Ransack in touch and ''oddly'' preferring to personally know the location of [[Matrix of Leadership|the key to a monstrous superweapon]] himself {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}, Soundwave turned to the dormant Seekers instead. He directed [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] to [[Las Vegas]] to carve up one such Seeker for its "memory tree". He refused to explain the reason ''why'' to Grindor. When [[NEST]] showed up, Soundwave appeared contemptuous of them and their [[Human|whole species]], noting Transformers owned this world ''long'' before mankind. To Grindor, he simply said to get the memory tree to him and not get captured. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}}

Later, [[Transformers Comic issue 2.2|on The Fallen's orders]], he directed [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] to find [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], find out what they knew about The Fallen's plans and who they'd told it to, and then terminate them. When Ravage had cornered Mudflap, Soundwave talked through him and attempted to interrogate the Autobot; this failed, with Mudflap not even being bothered about who Soundwave was. While the hit was a bust, Soundwave ensured the base was bugged. As a result, he discovered [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] distrusted the twins.

[[File:Titan6 SoundwaveIAm.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"[[Sanctuary|There you go]], fellas!"]]

This was something Soundwave found interesting {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}} and he hatched a plan to ensure the twins were believed to be traitors: which would ensure nobody would follow up on their intell! Somehow, he got [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] to [[Diego Garcia]] at the same time the twins were there. He then had [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] get captured, so that when he was taken to [[Diego Garcia]] Scorponok would free him. With the Decepticon attacking at the same time the twins were distracting Optimus and on top of previous acts, they seemed guilty and were taken into custody. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}} Soundwave sent [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] to blow up the soldiers escorting the twins to orbitary exile, and [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] parachuted in to convince them to defect. When [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] tracked down the twins—who had kidnapped [[Sam Witwicky]] in a failed attempt to convince him to speak to Optimus on their behalf - Soundwave finally landed on Earth and blasted the scout. Soundwave told the twins The Fallen would offer them sanctuary, something they seemed happy to accept... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.6|Outlaw Blues}}

[[File:Titan7 Soundwave GO!.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1]]

Poor Soundwave soon had to put ''up'' with the twins, as they insisted on chatting through his briefings and dissing the other 'cons. He ''just'' about, through ominous glares, got them to pay attention to their mission: to capture Ransack and bring him in to be "re-educated". This, however, was all a big con on the twins: he just wanted them as expendable bait to draw out Ransack, so Grindor and Sideways could knock him out. Soundwave also spoke for the entire Decepticons when he said that if the twins survived any encounter, ''kill them anyway''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

[[File:Titan8 Soundwave FWATT.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|KERPOW!]]

Once Ransack was in his hands, Soundwave beat the snot out of him and demanded the location to the Tomb of the Primes. The Seeker still refused to talk, and insulted Soundwave as being a mere cog who could barely understand the big picture. He almost killed Ransack for that, having to be held back by Starscream (don't want The Fallen ''knowing'' you've killed his Seeker!), but the elder continued to mock him for believing he had freedom of action just because The Fallen was absent.

When the twins, revealed to have been faking their defection, returned to beat the crap out of the Phobos base, an annoyed Soundwave ended their brief success with overwhelming violence. Unfortunately, before he could kill the Autobots, Ransack took the opportunity to leg it; desperate to stop The Fallen from being informed of what he'd been up to, Soundwave gave chase and the Phobos base was abandoned. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}} As he's still around later, it seems Soundwave made ''sure'' Ransack never made it to The Fallen...

Post-Fallen and instructed by Megatron to "hound" humans and "get up close and personal" in his attacks, Soundwave cut a swathe of destruction across the North Atlantic, destroying ships as he headed on a course towards Florida. Identifying his pattern, [[William Lennox]] and [[Robert Epps]] staged an ambush, laying out a cargo ship for Soundwave to attack and then blindsiding him with a volley from a hidden warship. Badly damaged in the surprise assault, Soundwave was forced to retreat, venturing into the confines of...the [[Bermuda Triangle]]! (Dun dun dunnnn!)

[[File:Titan15 Soundwaveghostship.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Bustin' makes ghosts feel good!]]

Amidst the storm clouds, Soundwave discovered another ship that he decided to attack out of spite, but faltered when his databanks identified it as a [[United States Navy]] vessel that had been lost in [[1918]]. Caught off-guard by a volley of primitive weaponsfire (even for humans!) and damaged even further, Soundwave tried to limp away, only to cross paths with ''another'' mystery ship, this one allegedly from [[1941]]! Pelted from both sides and unable to get a handle on his situation, Soundwave fled high into the air, out of the ships' range...and right in the path of a squadron of [[World War II]] bombers! Rattled by their machine gun fire and unable to overcome their superior flying skills, Soundwave decided to break upwards...''all'' the way upwards. Whatever strange chronal chaos he had encountered in the depths of the Bermuda Triangle, Soundwave concluded that the solar radiation, meteor showers and space debris he would face on the ''[[Moon (moon)|Moon]]'' would be ''much'' safer! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.15|Making Waves}}

[[File:Titan3-3 soundwaveyoutwo.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Look out! Soundwave is pretending to be the Fat Controller!]]

When the Autobots were about to discover an ''Ark'' fragment that could lead them to [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]], Soundwave and Starscream sprang into action. From his position in high orbit, Soundwave hacked and took over NEST's defensive guns and left the [[Fiesole Cathedral]] wide open for Starscream to infiltrate. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3.1|Fight for Fiesole}}

Striking out on his own and using a brand new body, Soundwave scanned the Earth for a large seam of [[gold]] and, having discovered the legendary [[El Dorado]] in [[Colombia]], used the human [[Tanto Gang]] to help him dig it up. Once they found it, he began shooting at them: he wanted it for himself so he could flood the markets with gold and crash the economy! NEST attempted to stop him and he fought Optimus Prime directly, but in the end he was driven off when the Tanto Gang triggered a bomb for revenge. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3.2|Blood And Gold}}

Soundwave then absconded to the [[Spain|Sierra Nevada]] mountains and allowed NEST to find him, pretending to be injured from the battle... Only to open fire with full weaponry upon being tracked down, injuring [[Robert Epps]] and nearly killing Bumblebee. When Optimus arrived to back up his troops, Soundwave was able to force him to agree to a fight without weapons (Optimus's weapons anyway) and attempted to blast him off the mountaintop. Unfortunately for him, he got too into it and his sonic blasts began to cause avalanches, while Optimus was able to locate a fissure in the rock and sneak up behind him. Surprised, Soundwave was shoved into the avalanche he'd started and sent plummeting down. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3.3|Dealing with the Devil}}

While Ironhide headed outside to face Bludgeon, Bumblebee remained inside to guard the Autobots' precious [[datatrax|data tracks]] from Soundwave. Bumblebee fired shot after shot, but Soundwave was able to simply use his sonic powers to repel the attacks back towards Bumblebee. However, Bumblebee gambled that Soundwave would be unable to repel a great number of attacks simultaneously, and the Decepticon was overwhelmed by Bumblebee's automatic weaponry. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 1}} Bumblebee confined Soundwave inside a vacuum-sealed electromagnetic bubble, where his sonic weaponry would be useless. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 2}}

From Earth orbit, Soundwave witnessed Megatron being defeated by Optimus one too many times. Blaming the humans' involvement for the Decepticons' continued failures in defeating the Autobots, Soundwave decided to damage relations between the two species. Soundwave then dispatched [[Ratbat (ROTF)|Ratbat]] and [[Buzzsaw (ROTF)|Buzzsaw]], setting them loose upon a human city to wreck havoc. When human law enforcement contacted Optimus, Soundwave tampered with their communications in order to send the Autobots to another location, far away from his menagerie's own. Soundwave then broadcast a message to Earth's population, declaring that the Autobots had abandoned them. Soundwave's plan failed when Sam Witwicky managed to find Optimus and inform him of Soundwave's ruse. After taking care of Buzzsaw and Ratbat, Optimus met with the human military, and had them have the satellite to which Soundwave was attached to self-destruct. Soundwave was sent plummeting into outer-space, cursing the Autobots for foiling his plan. {{storylink|Satellite Meltdown}}

When Starscream upgraded himself into a more powerful form by recycling the remains of fallen Decepticons into himself, he lost his mental stability and began to run wild. Enraged that Starscream was sowing destruction without his authorization, Megatron decided to put an end to his rampage. Soundwave argued that perhaps they should allow Starscream his power play, as he was causing great damage to their human enemies, but Megatron wouldn't hear it. Acquiescing to Megatron's demands, Soundwave dispatched [[Brimstone (TF 2010)|Brimstone]] and [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] to deal with the rogue Decepticon. {{storylink|Unite for the Universe issue 2|On the Road of Destruction}}

=====Decepticon campaign=====
[[File:ROTF 360PS3PC DLC Soundwave.jpg|thumb|Ah, those cough drops are finally working!]]
Soundwave coordinated the Decepticons' movement on Earth, but never stooped so low as to join field operations - not even taking part in their regular dissing contests - er, group discussions following missions. He often provided "mission control" to the Decepticons in the field. However, when he did step down from on high to mingle with the commoners, he could easily hold his own in battle. Among Soundwave's arsenal was a little friend in the form of a turret which could literally stomp the yard - er, oh hell. Just read the next paragraph in italics.

{{Note|On [[August 27]], [[2009]], Soundwave was made available as a playable character as optional downloadable content for Xbox 360 and Sony Playstation 3 owners. However, instead of the silver colour scheme established on his regular release toys and movie appearance, the character model was coloured blue, like [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] and the [[Toys"R"Us]]-[[exclusive]] Soundwave figure from the ''Gathering at Nemesis'' figure pack. His special attack in robot mode consisted of a deployable turret that generated earthquakes, a reference to [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]], who was one of Generation 1 Soundwave's tape minions. While using his special in vehicle mode deployed a radar jammer pod in the sky that also fired a laser at nearby enemies, a likely reference to Laserbeak, another of Generation 1 Soundwave's tape minions.}}

Soundwave - surprise - coordinated the Decepticon movement on Earth from space, often guiding Decepticons in the field. Soundwave dispatched Reedman and Ravage to retrieve a fragment of the AllSpark from NEST, and directed the Decepticons to find Megatron's body in a NEST base in the middle of the Atlantic.

===Transformers Autobots/Decepticons===
Soundwave was the Decepticon movement's coordinator, loyally serving The Fallen and Megatron (the former likely because he was out to bring Megatron back), making no effort to hide his disdain for Starscream's gig as Decepticon leader. He regularly coordinated and provided intel for Decepticons in the field, and was more than happy to chew out the troops if they sucked at their job, and was pleased to have Megatron back.

However, this pleasure likely turned to boiling hatred when The Fallen promoted the new recruit to Decepticon leader and replaced Megatron, when the recruit killed Optimus Prime in Egypt at the Sun Harvester.

[[File:DOTMgameSoundwave.jpg|thumb|What? I'm not a Mercedes Benz! Where would you get a silly idea like that, heh...]]
During Megatron's exile after the Egypt skirmish, Soundwave remained in orbit, monitoring Autobot transmissions and messages to send to his leader for information. Soon, Soundwave was ordered to disconnect from the satellite as Bumblebee had implanted a virus into his network which allowed the Autobots to follow Decepticon operations.

After landing on the planet and taking the form of an SUV, he was ordered to destroy a base that formerly served as a [[Sector Seven]] facility. Megatron required Soundwave to do so because it contained information on their ally contained in Russia. Soundwave completed this with the utmost efficiency, destroying every Autobot encountered and displaying great courage as he blasted Autobot scouts from the inside of a laser cage. After exploring the corridors of the base and having Laserbeak incapacitate anyone standing in his way, Soundwave destroyed the base and escaped the erupting base unscathed, as did his condor companion.

He later helped escort Megatron to [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave's]] location in a cryogenics facility in a Soviet country, and appeared in Africa with Megatron, Starscream and Shockwave as Megatron announced his plans were far from over. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|Dark of the Moon}}

===Autobots/Decepticons===

[[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] met with Soundwave to report that Megatron had ordered a two-pronged assault, with Starscream attacking a nearby [[NEST]] facility, and Soundwave was to create a diversion. Soundwave was skeptical that Megatron had actually ordered anything of the sort, and promised to double-check with his leader later. After causing a sizable diversion by knocking down a bunch of buildings, Soundwave went off and infiltrated another base. While hunting for the NEST computer, he was contacted by Starscream whose loud demands that Soundwave maintain stealth were more of a hindrance than anything. Soundwave managed to retrieve the data he was after, and while [[Crowbar]] kept the Autobots busy, he escaped. After he returned to the Decepticons' Siberian base, he received a message from Megatron—the Autobots had planted a number of radar emplacements around which were broadcasting a jamming signal, and Soundwave had to go around hacking them so Megatron's team could survey their immediate surroundings. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon: Autobots/Decepticons|Dark of the Moon: Autobots/Decepticons}}

**''Japanese ID number'': '''EZ-16'''
:Part of the fifth wave of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] figures, Soundwave transforms into a simplified version of his satellite altmode. The satellite head is completely covered in blue, however. Amusingly enough, his chest is sculpted in his Deluxe toy's flipped-up 'mode' (with the three circles showing) but is painted in the colors of the Deluxe's flipped-down form (shown on the Deluxe toy's packaging).

:The quality of Soundwave's head paint operations vary from figure-to-figure: Most had his blue paint carefully applied on the crest, while others have an extra paint on his upper left eye.

:Soundwave also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the Revenge of the Fallen [[EZ Collection]] sets.

He was part of the Japanese ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Transformers Animated]]'' promotion, and was only available to those who bought the Voyager Class "[[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] VS [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]" set at Amazon.jp and Yamada Denki stores.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-04'''

:Part of the initial Movie Preview wave, ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Soundwave is a [[Triple Changer]], transforming into a satellite and a Cybertronian jet, which are not exactly what could be described as "distinct" from one another. In all three modes, Soundwave features a spring-loaded missile launcher which fires a missile intended to resemble Ravage, in reference to the scene in the film in which he launches the feline fiend down to Earth. In his (rather stocky) robot mode, Soundwave has blue light piping in his visor, but it is disabled, having been painted over in red; his other modes feature a second, armored version of his face, which is stored on the back of his robot mode. Probably to avoid giving the toy a very obviously two-headed robot mode, the alternate face lacks any paint details, and has an unpainted blue visor. Soundwave features numerous red and gold [[Paint operation|paint application]]s which are ''very'' cleverly and subtly positioned around his body to replicate similarly-colored and -positioned details on the [[Soundwave (G1)|original Soundwave toy]].

:The configuration for the satellite mode depicted in the toy's instructions is not the way Soundwave appears in the film, featuring a different angling for the panels on his shoulders. It's not a big change, but transforming the toy in accordance with his movie appearance ''does'' help to distinguish the jet from the satellite a little, since otherwise, virtually the only difference is in the positioning of the large panel "wings".

Sadly, this promotion does not exist in Europe or Australia, but Recon Ravage was made available in the latter country as a Toys R Us exclusive.

:Part of a [[Walmart]] exclusive pack alongside [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeSoundwaveRodimus|Bumblebee]] and [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Rodimus]], ''Cyberverse'' Soundwave is a redeco of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class Soundwave, with a new deco inspired by the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive ''Gathering at Nemesis'' gift set (see above), which in turn was heavily influenced by [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]. The toy is mostly blue and gray, with some gold, red, and silver paint details here and there.

:This three-pack was also available as an Asda exclusive in the United Kingdom and from Rossmann stores in Germany and Auchan stores in Hungary and Italy. Of note is that the [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]] does ''not'' market Rodimus as a "bonus figure" (presumably so stores can charge full price for three toys), and his window lacks the yellow edges highlighting him as a special feature, despite still being separated from Bumblebee and Soundwave, who share a common window like in the US version. Despite this, Rodimus still doesn't get a mention on the back of the packaging, which only features a one-sentence "bio" about Bumblebee planning to bring down Soundwave in twelve different languages.

: All versions of the packaging also lack any logos that label the toys as [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] products.

:Part of the sixth wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe-Class [[MechTech]] figures, Soundwave transforms from an officially licensed Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG into a robot. In vehicle mode, he has two MechTech ports on the roof. His large "Sonic Cannon" can transform into an equally large "Interceptor Dish". In robot mode, Soundwave has MechTech ports in each hand and one on each shoulder, and he also has [[C joint]] bars on each leg. He features [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake kibble]] as well, with his vehicle mode front grille being switched out and tucked away for a warped robot mode grille-chest.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD09'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Dylan Gould#Toys|Mr. Gould]], [[Laserbeak (DOTM)#Human Alliance|Laserbeak]], missile
:A new [[Human Alliance]] mold of ''Dark of the Moon'' Soundwave transforms into his SLS AMG mode. He has "'''SUPERIOR'''" [[tampograph]]ed on his [[license plate]] and comes with [[Laserbeak (DOTM)#Human Alliance|Laserbeak]] and [[Dylan Gould#Toys|Mr. Gould]].

:As is usual for any Human Alliance figure, Gould (or any other "driver" figure) can can sit on Soundwave's seats in vehicle mode or stand on his hands in robot mode.

:Laserbeak can also transform into a spring-loaded missile-firing cannon for Gould to man, and the cannon itself can [[5 mm post|be pegged]] into any of Soundwave's six MechTech ports: two ports on his shoulders (his right shoulder is the nominal choice, as per the [[instructions]]), a port on top of each of his upper arms, and (rather awkwardly) a port on the sonic cannons on each of his lower arms. In bird mode, Laserbeak can also perch on either of the (flipped out) seats on Soundwave's lower arms via a molded-in [[C joint]] bar on the seats themselves and the bar clips on Laserbeak's heels.

:The pair of sonic cannons on the top of his left lower arm is also a panel that can be flipped open (up to 90 degrees), but since this is undocumented in the instructions, is only usable in robot mode, and doesn't appear to have anything inside it, its purpose remains unknown.

:Finally, as with all large Human Alliance toys, he has a [[gimmick]] concerning his head. It is essentially the same gimmick as [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Human Alliance|Barricade]]'s: his jointed head allows him to open and close his mouth.

:Due to his transformation, he ends up being much smaller than most Human Alliance toys despite being the largest in the film out of the others. He trades his more accurate bulkiness for incredible shortness, being dwarfed by almost all HA toys that transform into sports cars.

:As with many late-wave DOTM products, this toy was not released in the US.

He comes with the same weapon/tool accessory as the ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' Cyberverse Legion Class [[Vehicon (Prime)#Cyberverse|Vehicon]] (later also used by [[Flamewar (Prime)#Cyberverse|Decepticon Flamewar]], in an ever-so-slightly different color). In a bizarre instance of a [[quality control]] error, the figure's [[packaging]] has its [[bio]] printed in white instead of black ink, making it impossible to read on the white background of the card.

:The United States market release of Soundwave used the template for the ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Transformers: Prime]]''-based Series 2 Cyberverse Legion Class packaging style but lacked the "Prime" moniker. The [[Multilingual packaging|multilingual]] European market packaging, meanwhile, retained the ''Prime'' title.

**''Japanese ID number'': '''AD17'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[June 21]], 2018'''
:Movie Trilogy Soundwave was renamed '''Darkside Soundwave''', and was finally released in June 2014 in Japan as part of the ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]''! Like its predecessor, Darkside Soundwave transforms from a fully licensed Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG into a robot. In vehicle mode, he has two MechTech ports on the roof. In robot mode, he has MechTech ports in each hand and one on each shoulder, and he also has C joint bars on each leg. He features fake kibble as well, with his vehicle mode front grille being switched out and tucked away for a warped robot mode grille-chest. Unlike its predecessor, the large "Sonic Cannon" that was included in the initial release was absent from this release, and Darkside Soundwave actually does not contain any accessories at all. Bummer.

:Released as part of TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers Movie The Best]]'' toyline to conclude the 10th anniversary of the [[live-action film series]], this Soundwave is an extensive redeco of his ''Human Alliance'' toy, without the Laserbeak and the Mr. Gould figure.

*'''Soundwave''' (Tiny Turbo Changer, 2017)
**''Series'': '''1'''
**''Bag Code'': '''H'''
:Released in Series 1 of ''The Last Knight'' [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Soundwave changes from robot based on his appearance in ''Dark of the Moon'' to a sports car of fictitious origin. He features articulation at his shoulders and waist and his hands are compatible with ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' weapons and other small accessories. He shares his transformation engineering with the two [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#The Last Knight|Bumblebee]]s from the same wave. Blind-Bags stamped with the letter 'H' contain Soundwave figures.

:This mold was also used to make [[KSI Sentry#Movie Edition|''Movie Edition'' KSI Sentry]].

===Bumblebee===
[[File:Bumblebee-Movie-Greatest-Hits-Leader-Soundwave-and-Doombox.jpg|300px|thumb|Clearly inspired by the enthusiastic reception for Cogman and Movieverse Headmasters.]]
*'''Soundwave & Doombox''' (Target exclusive Leader Class, [[2018]])
**''Accessories'': [[Doombox]] Titan Master partner, spotlight/rocket-sled, rifle, shoulder cannon
:''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)#Bumblebee Greatest Hits|Bumblebee Greatest Hits]]'' Soundwave is a retool of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Soundwave]], who is in turn a retool of ''Titans Return'' [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Blaster]]. The figure comes with his [[Titan Master]] partner, [[Doombox]], who transforms into his head. In addition to his classic robot and boombox alternate modes, he can also transform into a "city mode" that can link up to the other base modes in ''Titans Return'', and features numerous 5 mm mounting points for weapons and Titan Master vehicles and turrets, as well as tiny pegs to accommodate many other Titan Master figures.

:In addition to his rifle, Soundwave also comes with his signature cannon "battery", which can plug into his shoulder, or store on his back while he in alt mode. He includes a kind of "rocket-sled" with a seat for a Titan Master pilot which forms the topmost turret of his base mode. The sled stores inside Soundwave's chest compartment in other modes; a notch is cut into its underside to store Doombox while Soundwave is in boombox mode. Much like the ''Titans Return'' figures he is based on, Soundwave possesses the gimmick of being able to store any of the five ''Titans Return'' 'cassettes' inside his chest, as well as ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Buzzsaw]] and the concurrently-released Movie Cassettes [[Howlback (BB)|Howlback]], [[Buzzsaw (ROTF)#Toys|Buzzsaw]], and [[Frenzy (Movie)#Bumblebee|Frenzy]]. He has several (non-functional) ports molded into his back and legs capable of accommodating real-life USB cables, headphone jacks, and power cables.

:He was released as a [[Target]] exclusive in the US, and was available at Argos in the UK.

He also comes with his own Energon Core, which allows Soundwave's vehicle mode to zip in fast speed. Amusingly, the Igniter Core is molded after a boombox, and a sticker mural of a black jaguar and an eagle also homages [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] and [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]].

**''Accessories:'' [[Laserbeak (DOTM)#Generations|Laserbeak]] minifigure, "[[Namibia|Serengeti Hideout]]" backdrop
:''[[Studio Series]]'' Soundwave is an all-new ''Dark of the Moon''-accurate mold that transforms into a fully-licensed Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG in 19 steps. He comes with a non-transforming, mostly-unpainted (aside from red eyes) [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]] figure—which can connect to Soundwave's arm using a [[C joint]], or to his vehicle mode roof—along with a cardboard backdrop depicting the Decepticon camp in [[Namibia]], [[Africa]].

:His headlight piece has a tendency to pop off during transformation to robot mode, thanks to some extremely tight clearances, and his metallic silver paint (which effectively coats him) is prone to chipping in those spots.

:Like the rest of the Deluxe figures in the same wave, Soundwave first saw release at Toys"R"Us shops in Malaysia and independent retailers in Hong Kong.

:The [[Burger King]] version of Soundwave is a representation of the communications satellite which Soundwave hacked into in the movie. The dishes have tendril details added to them. Peering into an opening in the top gives a sort of periscope effect, although as there is only one mirror, everything looks backwards.

===RPMs - Robot Powered Machines===
[[File:RPM Soundwave toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|See? You ''have'' your damn ''Prime'' toys, now shut up!!]]
*'''Soundwave''' (2010)
**''Series:'' '''Metal Heroes'''
**''Number:'' '''04 of 08''' (only seven released)
:''[[Robot Powered Machines]]'' Soundwave is a small, non-transforming pseudo-Scion XB with his robot mode sculpted underneath. Said robot mode resembles [[Soundwave (WFC)|another Soundwave]] for some reason. The car's wheels feature through-axle construction for speedy racing on flat surfaces. Unlike other RPMs, Soundwave, along with the rest of the Metal Heroes, is made of [[die-cast]] metal.

:RPM Soundwave is probably the most homage-heavy Transformer ever produced: he has [[Soundwave (Animated)|''Animated'' Soundwave]]'s alt mode and a mix between his regular and Electrostatic incarnations "tattoos", [[Soundwave (WFC)|''War for Cybertron'' Soundwave]]'s robot mode (which in turn was heavily based on [[Soundwave (G1)|G1 Soundwave]]) and despite this, the bio and toyline clearly identify him as ROTF Soundwave. You can try and add [[Soundwave (Cybertron)|Cybertron Soundwave]] to the list if you want, but that would be overkill.

:This toy's American release and the rest of the Metal Heroes were canceled in favor of the [[Speed Stars]] versions of the toys. They have been released in the Philippines, New Zealand and Mexico (at a discounted price compared to past RPM releases), however. Both versions were eventually available at retail in those countries.

===Speed Stars===
[[File:SpeedStars Soundwave toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Three continuities for the price of one!]]
*'''Soundwave''' (2010)
**''Series:'' '''Metal Heroes'''
**''Number:'' '''04 of 08'''
:[[Speed Stars]] Soundwave is a [[redeco]] of the RPM vehicle, featuring many differences in comparison to the Robot Powered Machines release. Namely, the Speed Stars version lacks paint in the doors and tail lights, as well as the chest, arms, legs and face of the "robot" mode. The plastic at the bottom of the car is cast in gold instead of bronze. This version also lacks the "Soundwave-Audio" written on the lower part of the doors. The red that borders the rims of his wheels is also not as bright or vibrant.

:This toy was given away free as part of a Daily Mirror promotion in the UK.

*'''Soundwave''' (Basic, 2010)
:This Soundwave toy is part of the "[[Stealth Force]]" subline, consisting of vehicles without robot modes, but with plenty of flip-out panels with hidden weapons. Like the smaller Metal Heroes toy, Soundwave has ''Animated'' Soundwave's Scion XB altmode and features ''War for Cybertron'' Soundwave on his packaging. He features non-firing weapons hidden all throughout the toy, activated by pulling part of the roof back.

==Notes==
===Identity and alternate modes===
[[File:EarlyMovieBlackout.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|A Soundwave-headed Blackout from an animatic.]]
[[File:ROTFEarthSoundwaveConcept.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Soundwave, before losing weight.]]
* Soundwave was originally supposed to feature in [[Transformers (film)|''Transformers'']]; he fulfilled both [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]]'s roles, hacking into the CIA headquarters as a portable stereo, then [[size changing|morphed]] into a Humvee to track down [[Sam Witwicky]].<ref>Details from an early script draft [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showpost.php?p=2213120&postcount=297 summed up here], [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showpost.php?p=2214148&postcount=303 confirmed as authentic by Roberto Orci here].</ref> [[Michael Bay]]'s decision to minimalize the amount of morphing in the film resulted in a change to a helicopter who openly attacks the army. Soundwave and [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] were changed to [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] as the film's location was changed from a jungle to a desert.<ref>[http://boards.transformersmovie.com/showpost.php?p=234188&postcount=2008 Roberto Orci post at the official movie boards]
</ref> Soundwave's name remained attached to the separated portable stereo character for a while, but Hasbro felt the resulting character did not properly represent the original Soundwave. He was first renamed Soundbite,<ref>[http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=76662065 Abandoned Soundbite trademark application]</ref> but eventually ended up with the name Frenzy.
*According to the trade paperback, Soundwave was a major character in the third draft of ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]''.
* In early drafts of ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Soundwave came to Earth and scanned a black Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck form. Artist [[Paul Ozzimo]] created a visualization of this idea, and Hasbro based the Cybertronian satellite form's robot mode on this abandoned concept, particularly a Cybertronian version of the Chevy grill and small headlights on the lower torso. They then combined Ozzimo's body design with an unused, heavily G1-esque head design that had been created by artist [[Josh Nizzi]] (although Soundwave's finalized head design was also incorporated into the toy's satellite mode, in a manner akin to [[kibble#Faux parts|faux parts]]).
* Early artwork for Soundwave for ''Dark of the Moon'' identified him as '''Breakdown''', but considering other names presented on other concept artwork, it was likely just a smokescreen to hide his true identity in case of a leak.<ref name="nizzi">[http://www.joshnizzi.com/TF3.htm Josh Nizzi DOTM concepts.]</ref>
[[File:TF3HasbroSoundwaveBio.JPG|thumb|upright=1.1|SPOILER ALERT]]
* Before the release of ''Dark of the Moon'', Michael Bay and other official parties tried ''really'' hard to suppress the plot twist of the silver Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG given to Carly by Dylan turning out to be Soundwave's new alternate mode. After the Mercedes had been spotted on the set, with [[Rosie Huntington-Whiteley]] exiting it,<ref name="mercedesset">[http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=67518 DOTM Set Photos], ComingSoon.net, July 2010.</ref> the first hint that it was more than meets the eye came with the trailer for the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|video game]], which showed Soundwave's robot mode with car [[kibble]] such as wheels that heavily resembled those of the Mercedes. In addition, [[Rising Storm issue 3|issue 3]] of ''[[Transformers: Rising Storm]]'' depicted Soundwave's robot mode not only with car kibble, but with a Mercedes star on his chest. Despite this, director Michael Bay insisted that the Mercedes was simply Carly's car, claiming that "Mercedes would never let us make their car into a bad Decepticon. Car company's {{sic}} really frown on that. I can't say what the game company and comics do that's their own thing. They don't have the same constraints movies do. It's Carly's car."<ref name="baynomerc">[http://www.shootfortheedit.com/forum/showthread.php?8724-Update-Is-Soundwave-the-silver-Mercedes-on-set-of-DOTM&p=169598&viewfull=1#post169598 Michael Bay's response to the fan theory that Soundwave is the Silver Mercedes.], April 2011.</ref> On April 19, 2011, an event for promoting the ''Spider-Man: Edge of Time'' and ''Transformers: Dark of the Moon'' video games was held in London. As part of this, [[High Moon Studios]] released promotional stills from the ''Dark of the Moon'' game, one of which depicted Soundwave's new robot mode, again with Mercedes parts. However, a news embargo was enforced on the attending press, which was broken by South African video game site [http://egamer.co.za egamer].<ref name="egamera">[http://egamer.co.za/2011/05/exclusive-hands-on-transformers-dark-of-the-moon/ egamer's preview of the ''Dark of the Moon'' video game]</ref> The site was soon asked to take down the article and images, as were various ''Transformers'' fan sites that had reported on the article and mirrored the images. On May 2, 2011, Hasbro's [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/ official Transformers website] was given a massive overhaul, including the addition of the new [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm Vector Sigma database]. The entry for Soundwave initially identified his alternate mode as a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, but was soon changed to "satellite". On May 3, 2011, the embargo for the video game article and promotional stills was finally lifted, allowing sites to freely show the image of Soundwave's new robot mode. Whether Mercedes approved of Soundwave's Earth mode or not remains to be seen.
*The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG car prop sported a German/European Union [[license plate]], "'''M JS8509'''", registered in the city of Munich, on the Chicago set for ''Dark of the Moon''.<ref name="chicago">[http://www.flickr.com/photos/aperturesun/archives/date-taken/2010/07/17/ Dark of the Moon Chicago set] at Flickr.</ref> (The design of the plate is slightly inaccurate, as there should be a space between "JS" and "8509" if it were a real German plate. Also, a German car would have a license plate on the front as well.)
*Soundwave's head design changes from in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' to ''Dark of the Moon'', transitioning from a visored head to one with two seperate optics.
*Soundwave's Cybertronian design in ''Bumblebee'' is heavily inspired by his Generation 1 [[Soundwave (G1)|namesake]].

===Voice===
*Even though [[Frank Welker]] returned to voice Soundwave for the movie, his voice was not vocoded, but rather synthesized in the same way all the other Transformer voices in the movie were. Because of this, the voice he uses is much closer to that of "The Cave of Wonders" from Walt Disney's ''Aladdin'' or Dr. Claw from ''Inspector Gadget'' (both voiced by Welker). However, in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' video game, Soundwave's voice ([[Peter Jessop]]) is vocoded in a manner similar to that of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Soundwave (Animated)|Soundwave]]'s first voice, only with a more musical tone. When [[Isaac C. Singleton, Jr.]] took over the role for the ''Dark of the Moon'' video games, his voice was similarly not vocoded to reflect Welker's on-film voice.
*[[Frank Welker]] voiced Soundwave not only in the English version of ''Revenge of the Fallen'', but also in a large number of foreign dubs. Welker described the process as "very hard".<ref name="welkernewsarama">[http://www.newsarama.com/tv/090915-Animated-Shorts-Welker.html Newsarama interview with Frank Welker], September 2009.</ref> Although his performance was retained for the French, Spanish, and Italian dubs, in other versions his lines were redone by native-speaking actors before the film's release. Welker still retained credit in those foreign versions, leading to confusion:
**German dubbing insiders insist that the voice heard in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' is that of [[Horst Lampe]].<ref name="germandub">[http://215072.homepagemodules.de/t511643f11775323-Transformers-Die-Rache-Transformers-Revenge-of-the-Fallen-7.html German dubbing board thread about ROTF, with a discussion about Soundwave's voice]</ref> Lampe was properly credited as the voice of Soundwave in ''Dark of the Moon'', further leading viewers to accept that he also played Soundwave in ''Revenge of the Fallen''.
**The credits for the American-Spanish dub do not specify Welker's role, but Soundwave's voice as heard in the film does not seem to be Welker's. Soundwave is credited in ''Dark of the Moon'' as being played by [[Leonardo García]], who is generally accepted as having played him in ''Revenge of the Fallen''.
*When [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Que]] is about to be executed, it is clearly Barricade forcing him to move, but an editing error has Barricade speaking in Soundwave's voice.
*In a Seibertron.com podcast featuring [[Jon Bailey]], Soundwave was supposed to say "Operation: Destruction" and/or "Operation: Annihilation" after ejecting [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] as a direct reference to the original cartoon.<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/twincast-podcast-episode-214-bumblebee/42674/ Seibertron Twincast #214</ref>

===Video games===
* Soundwave was included as a downloadable addition to the roster of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 video game, along with several [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] homages and fellow movie character [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. Soundwave's special abilities deploy an aerial jammer pod that looks suspiciously like [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]], and an AOE pod that continuously smashes the ground with piledrivers; undoubtedly a nod to Generation 1 [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]'s minion [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]]. According to concept artist [[Ken Christiansen]], his appearance was based more closely on the Deluxe class toy than his movie design.
*In the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|''Dark of the Moon'' video game]], Soundwave turns into an SUV similar to a Mercedes GLK 350, but in robot mode, his design is the same one used for the movie. In particular, the back of his legs still sports kibble reminiscent of a Mercedes SLS AMG trunk, complete with the letters "SLS" and "AMG" written on it.
