Anon e Mouse Jr.: /* Transformers Monopoly (2021) */

'''''Monopoly''''' is a commercial boardgame produced by [[Hasbro]] under its [[Parker Brothers]] board games imprint. It is a turn-based game "simulating" the real estate market, where two to six players vie for dominance, and is one of the best methods of starting a huge family fight.

It was originally created in [[1903]] by Lizzy Magie and called ''The Landlord's Game'', designed as a criticism of the whole "rent" thing and the economic imbalances it fed. In [[1935]] Charles Darrow more or less took the game from some people who taught it to him and patented it as ''Monopoly''<ref>{{w|History of Monopoly}}</ref>, and from there, approximately eleven jillion variations both official and unofficial have cluttered store shelves.

==Merchandise==
===''Transformers Monopoly'' (2007)===
: Released on June 02, ''Transformers Monopoly'' is a fairly straightforward, mostly-cosmetic variation on the traditional ''Monopoly'' game, using "[[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]]" characters, locations, and etc. The only difference in gameplay besides the name changes is that, upon rolling doubles, one can choose to use a 'special power' instead of moving again. What the power is depends on the allegiance of the character and which number was rolled.

: It comes with six character tokens: [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]. Houses are now [[Energon cube]]s, and Hotels [[Antimatter]].

: In [[2009]], the game was updated and slightly altered with a special collector's edition; inexplicably, [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] art features heavily in this set. It also replaces the Bumblebee, Jazz, Starscream and Soundwave tokens with [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], and [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]].

: Properties in the traditional ''Monopoly'' game are now locations in the ''Transformers'' [[multiverse]]. Utilities are computers, and Railroads are now forms of transportation. Community Chest cards are now Autobot cards, while Chance cards are Decepticon cards. The four corners - GO, Jail, Free Parking, and Go To Jail - remain unchanged for legal reasons (which is a bummer, because you know the GO! from the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|original Optimus Prime toy's trailer]] would be ''perfect'' for the starting GO space).

===''Transformers Monopoly'' (2021)===
:In [[2021]], a newer and simpler version of ''Transformers Monopoly'' was released, this iteration using a wide range of artwork including "[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]" and [[evergreen]] designs.

: It came with six character tokens: [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]. Houses are once again [[energon cube]]s, but Hotels are now "energon bunkers". Money now simply features Autobot and Decepticon symbols with "Monopoly" written in [[Alphabet|Cybertronian]] beneath them.

: Unlike the previous game, which was more or less a 1:1 replacement of traditional ''Monopoly'' spaces, each colored area of the board only features two properties. Utilities are now [[Titan (group)|Titans]], and railroads are now [[space bridge]]s. The four corners - GO, Jail, Free Parking, and Go To Jail - remain unchanged for the same reasons as before, and the Community Chest/Autobot Chance/Decepticon cards/spaces remain.

===''Beast Wars Monopoly'' (2022)===
: ''Beast Wars Monopoly'' is an even further tweaking of the traditional ''Monopoly'', now with the aesthetic trappings of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]''.

: This version of the game comes with ''fourteen'' character tokens, seven characters with a token for both Beast Mode and Robot Mode (players use both under the new rule set): [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]], [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]], [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]], [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]], and [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]]. Community Chest cards are now [[Maximal]] cards, while Chance cards are [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] cards, and their individual flavor texts reference different episodes of the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|original ''Beast Wars'' cartoon]]. Instead of Houses and Hotels players can now place [[Stasis pod|Stasis Pods]] on their properties. A [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]] is also included. Instead of traditional money, this version of the game uses Energon Cubes and [[Energon crystal|Energon Crystals]].

: Once again there are only two properties per color block, but there's an even further shift in the rules. There are no Utilities or Taxes, now being replaced by spaces allowing a player to Maximize or Terrorize. The mode you're in can have a profound impact on gameplay: players can only place Stasis Pods when in Robot Mode, but pay a smaller "energy cost" when landing on an opponent's property in Beast Mode. The four corners continue to remain unchanged from the original other than the traditional graphics being placed over the old toy-packaging red-scale backdrop.

*While not explicitly a ''Transformers'' themed game, a version of ''Monopoly Empire'' features Transformers as one of the buyable brands in-game. The token for the Transformers brand is the head of Optimus Prime, which is based on Star Convoy, oddly enough.

Magmatron (BW)

2024-07-29T02:18:26Z

Anon e Mouse Jr.: Spelling fix.

{{factions|predacon|dinobot|maximalbm}}''
{{picsneeded|fictional appearances}}

:''Magmatron is a [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] from the [[Beast Era]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].

[[File:Magmatronbm.jpg|right|upright=1.67|thumb|Part robot, part 3 different prehistoric animals, and he can ''dance''.]]
'''Magmatron''' (マグマトロン ''Magumatoron'') seeks one thing: being crowned with the title of "[[Emperor of Destruction]]" after the failure of the insane [[Galvatron (BW)|Galvatron]]. Almost nothing else matters. His chosen means to attain that, unfortunately for him, are a bumbling group of [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] who do nothing but disappoint him and leave him grumpy after their repeated failures at acquiring [[Angolmois Energy|Angolmois Capsules]]. Nevertheless, he's still content to sit on his throne aboard the ''[[Dinosaur (ship)|Dinosaur]]'' while his minions go out on missions—a tendency only broken by the chance to face down his nemesis, [[Big Convoy]]. But he's not interested in fighting fair, preferring to destroy his enemies through petty and underhanded tactics to assure complete victory. He's not without nuance, though, as [[Unicron/Generation 1|even greater evils]] can prompt him into an all-consuming vendetta against those who nearly destroyed [[Dinosaur (planet)|his ancestors]] and threaten the sanctity of the universe itself. For what is conquest worth if you have nothing to rule? Said vendetta can even call for the sacrifice of his subordinates, shaking even the ever-loyal [[Guiledart]]... One hopes, in the end, that Magmatron can learn to work with his enemies in taking down mutual threats and grow from it.

Magmatron possesses a [[mitotic spark|unique anatomy]] which allows him to separate into three dinosaur forms called '''Landsaurus''' (ランドサウルス ''Randosaurus''), '''Seasaurus''' (シーサウルス ''Shīsaurus''), and '''Skysaurus''' (スカイサウルス ''Sukaisaurus''),<ref>Referred to as "Landsaur", "Seasaur", and "Skysaur" in Magmatron's ''Beast Machines Dinobots'' bio.</ref> or merge them into a single monstrosity called '''Magmasaurus''' (マグマサウルス ''Magumasaurus'').

[[File:Magmatron cartoon.jpg|left|thumb|No, the toy isn't this cool.]]
Magmatron was fighting [[Big Convoy]] on a distant planet, up until he confronted him personally. Shocked by the legendary warrior's appearance, he attempted to stand against him, but was quickly disabled by Convoy's “Big Cannon”. Much later on, Magmatron and his troops were stationed on [[Gaia]], where they caught a glimpse of five new [[Maximal]] recruits touching down on the planet's surface. In response, he immediately ordered his soldiers to crush their opposition. He then rendezvoused with the other Predacons, surrounding their hostage, [[Stampy (BW)|Stampy]], who told them where the Maximals were. Going off of this information, Magmatron found his way to Big Convoy and the other recruits, mocking the legendary Maximal warrior for being a teacher rather than a lone wolf like before. Convoy's students then formulated a plan to rescue Stampy, with [[Colada]], [[Break]], and [[Longrack (BW)|Longrack]] taking on the other Predacons, and [[Heinrad (BW)|Heinrad]] freezing time for long enough to snatch the rabbit ‘bot away from Magmatron, and return back to his team unscathed. Enraged at having lost his hostage, Magmatron fired at Heinrad, who ducked, allowing the shot to instead hit Big Convoy in the chest. Demanding payback for his previous defeat, Magmatron prepared to launch another “Magma Rocket”, but was countered by Big Convoy's “Big Cannon” once more. Seeing how the battle was unfolding, [[Guiledart]] requested that [[DNAVI]] take them back to headquarters, which teleported all Predacons away from the combat. Back on his ship, Magmatron vowed to take the [[Angolmois Energy]] that rightfully belonged to the Predacons, before Big Convoy and his Maximals could. {{storylink|Big Convoy, Move Out}}

Magmatron received a transmission from [[Saberback]], who was stationed on the planet [[Godbless]], and had found a capsule of Angolmois energy. Saberback gloated to him about his abilities to create illusions, but Magmatron dismissed this, and was only concerned about the recovery of the capsule, and the plundering of the planet for natural resources. Later on, when Saberback asked to be teleported back to the ship with the capsule in tow, Magmatron told him that he couldn't teleport both at once, and that he'd have to make it back on his own. When Saberback told him that the Maximals were trailing him, and would complicate the situation, Magmatron ordered Guiledart, [[Dead End (BW)|Dead End]], and [[Sling]], to assist their comrade. When the Predacons were defeated by Big Convoy, Magmatron had DNAVI teleport them off Godbless before they could be harmed any further. {{storylink|Chase the Mysterious Capsule}}

Magmatron was on the ''[[Dinosaur (ship)|Dinosaur]]'' when Guiledart suggested touching down on [[Solid]] to retrieve the Angolmois capsule located there. Although Dead End had his doubts, Magmatron insisted, and had DNAVI teleport them down to the planet. {{storylink|Burning Heart Below Freezing}}

When Guiledart suggested outright attacking the Maximals on [[Maderan]] so that the Predacons could search for the Angolmois there unfettered, Magmatron agreed and gave him autonomy over the mission. He later had to come to the planet personally to recapture the Maximals when Guiledart was taking too long, dressing him down for failing at a supposedly simple mission. He did, however, allow his Predacons to torture their prisoners, himself taking great glee in seeing the Maximals in pain. Stampy was furious at the treatment of his friends and tried to attack Magmatron, but the Predacon leader swatted him away. When Big Convoy arrived soon after, Magmatron ordered a tactical retreat, and had DNAVI take the Predacons back to the ''Dinosaur''. {{storylink|Hang in There, Stampy}}

[[File:Bwneo6 magmatron trisaur.jpg|right|thumb|300px|The Sauroboros.]]

Magmatron was at the helm of the ''Dinosaur'' when the Predacons were in orbit of [[Donovan]]. He noted that the Maximals were likely there to find the Angolmois, just like them. When his troops managed to find the capsule located on the planet, he was there to listen to the transmission between them and DNAVI, during which they were told that both them ''and'' the capsule couldn't be teleported at once. {{storylink|Mirage of the Sand}}

===''Bom Bom'' manga continuity===
====''Beast Wars II'' manga====
Magmatron was a ''Giganotosaurus'' who led a gang of dinosaur rowdies on a primitive world in the [[7th Cosmos]]. After exposure to the Angolmois Capsule that crashed on the planet, the gang became more ferocious and killed [[Big Convoy#Beast Wars Neo comic|Big]]'s friends. The gang attacked [[Lio Convoy]], who had just arrived on the planet by accident, but failed because of Big's interruption. The gang followed Lio Convoy and Big's trails to the site where the capsule fell. Big pushed the gang into the valley, where the ''Giganotosaurus'' and its minions were caught in the explosion of the Angolmois Capsule and evolved into Transformers. The ''Giganotosaurus'' was fused with a ''Quetzalcoatlus'' and an ''Elasmosaurus'', becoming Magmasaurus. The Magmasaurus transformed into Magmatron, commanding his just-evolved minions to attack Lio Convoy and Big. Lio Convoy managed to defeat the henchmen with ease, but Magmatron took him out with one blast. With the power he now possessed, Magmatron claimed they would travel to various planets to kill every living thing. {{storylink|The Beast Wars "Neo" Begin!!!}}

{{charstubfiction|{{storylink|The 5 Rookies}} {{storylink|There Are 7 Capsules}} {{storylink|100000000000000000 Grains of Sandron!!}}}}

Later, Magmatron again met Big, now the Maximal Big Convoy. During a fierce battle, Magmatron indicated they had a history but Big Convoy couldn't remember and was surprised by Magmatron's words. When Magmatron thought he gained the upper hand, he was surprised by multiple blasts from his foe's [[Big Cannon]]. {{storylink|Mortal Combat! Twenty Thousand Meters in the Sky}}

The badly wounded Magmatron now had to separate himself into the three dinosaurs and stay in healing chambers. He ordered his henchmen to go to the planet [[Jörmungandr]] to retrieve an Angolmois Capsule. The group, however, failed and was sucked into space. The mysterious [[Unicron|Black Ball]], which had been retrieved by Big Convoy's crew, suddenly appeared in the ''[[Dinosaur (ship)|Dinosaur]]'', offering his troops, the [[Blentron]]s, to Magmatron. {{storylink|A Battle Fought Alone}}

Magmatron and Big Convoy were tricked to an {{w|amphitheatre}} where the last capsule was located by the Black Ball. Magmatron commanded the Blentron to attack Big Convoy's crew. During the battle, Magmatron was attacked from behind by a Blentron. It was revealed that both Magmatron and Big Convoy were the last Angolmois Capsule, and thus the Black Ball, who was actually Unicron, desired to consume them to regain the energy. Magmatron saved his old rival, who was despairing upon regaining his memory,and convinced him to team up to fight Unicron and the Blentrons. Magmatron was eventually chewed up and spat out by Unicron. A dying Magmatron, now reduced to only a head, left his [[Magma Blade (BW)|Magma Blade]] to Big Convoy as a "parting gift" and asked Big Convoy to give him an honorable "warrior's death" with his own sword. Big Convoy conceded to the request. {{storylink|Double Cross}}

Big Convoy later struck the blow that finished off Unicron's physical body with Magmatron's sword, avenging his death. {{storylink|Return to Zero}}

===''Beast Machines'' toy bio===
[[File:BMdinobots.JPG|thumb|]]
Magmatron was revered and reviled in equal measure as an "emperor of destruction". He had been on an intergalactic quest for [[Angolmois Energy|energy capsules]], but when he returned to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], he found it being overrun by [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] drones! There, he became part of the [[Dinobot (BM)|Dinobots]] led by [[T-Wrecks]].

He split into "Skysaur", "Landsaur", and "Seasaur", and their combined beast mode was a "tri-dinosaur [[Fuzor]]". {{storylink|#Beast Machines|Beast Machines bio}}

===3H comics===
Magmatron and the other Dinobots were sent on a mission, given to them by the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]], {{Storylink|Departure}} to the planet [[Arkus]]. The mission was a trap, however, and Magmatron and the others were attacked by [[energy vampire]]s and their master known as the [[Dweller (G1)|Dweller]]. {{storylink|Betrayal}} Magmatron fought off the Dweller long enough for the Dinobots to escape. When they returned to rescue him, they found nothing but his sword. {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
{{BW Shell Game}}
Magmatron made his way to prehistoric Earth, with the intention of raising an army out of the protoforms left behind by the Axalon's crew. He watched from afar as Optimus Primal's team launched from the planet aboard an Autobot shuttlecraft, with Megatron as their prisoner.
As one of his agents, Razorbeast, activated the stasis pods remotely, another one of his lackeys, Spittor, reported that one of the protoforms had been activated as a Maximal instead of a Predacon. Abandoning his cover as a Maximal double-agent, Razorbeast fled from Magmatron and into the wild. {{storylink|Shell Game issue 1|Shell Game #1}}

===2006 IDW ''Beast Wars'' continuity===
[[File:Magmatron speech TheGathering1.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb]]

According to one account, Magmatron was the result of one of many experiments conducted by the [[Tripredacus Council]] in the advent of protoform technology, after the signing of the Pax Cybertronia. {{storylink|Dawn of the Predacus}}

Another account has it that, during the early days of the [[Pax Cybertronia]], Magmatron endangered the fragile peace, being an indomitable general who would not accept defeat. When he was finally brought to heel by the [[Tripredacus Council]], he still chafed under the terms of the treaty and the council's apparent willingness to roll over for the Maximals. However, he accepted his change in status and maneuvered into a position on the [[Committee for State Affairs]] alongside his old enemy, [[Big Convoy]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook #2}}

Frustrated by the Council's decision to bide its time, Magmatron recruited a small band of disenchanted warriors and fostered a professional relationship with the Tripredacus agent [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] to keep abreast of the situation on [[Earth]]. With this information, he formed an elegant and tightly knit plan to travel backwards in time to prehistoric Earth and reprogram all of the remaining [[protoform]] Maximals into Predacons. Keeping his plans secret until the last moment, he revealed to his forces that the Council had ordered him to pick up the task where their previous agent failed: capture the rogue [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]].

[[Chronal phase|Chronically displacing]] his crew so that they could not be detected by the beast warriors who are already there, they set to work. He ordered [[Razorbeast]] to begin activating the [[stasis pod]]s while [[Spittor (BW)|Spittor]], [[Manterror]], [[Transquito]], and [[Iguanus (BW)|Iguanus]] reported on their progress. They witnessed the birth of three Predacons, but Spittor was greeted by the Maximal, [[Polar Claw]]. More Maximals were spotted, revealing Razorbeast as a spy, but the warthog escaped into the wilderness. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 1|The Gathering #1}}

Once his new army was assembled, Magmatron ordered them to hunt down the Maximals. [[Drill Bit (BW)|Drill Bit]] and Spittor, however, accompanied Magmatron on his personal quest to find Razorbeast. He located the spy and quickly gained the upper hand with his three dinosaur modes, but Razorbeast pulled a fast one, and buried the Predacon leader beneath a mountainside. Magmatron soon recouped his losses by recovering the spark of the Tripredacus agent, Ravage. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 2|The Gathering #2}}

[[File:Gathering3-Megatron Magmatron.jpg|right|upright=1.5|thumb|Insert "Megatron not pleased a BWN character is stealing his role" joke here.]]

Iguanus, having located a [[blank]] protoform, assisted Magmatron with rebirthing Ravage in a new, [[Transmetal 2]] body. Magmatron ordered Ravage to hunt down and terminate Razorbeast's Maximals. Magmatron proceeded to set forth on his next mission; locating and capturing Megatron to ensure the Tripredacus Council didn't catch on to his real plans. He confronted Megatron, and the two engaged in battle. Megatron insisted that Magmatron was foolish for coming after him alone, as Ravage did, but Magmatron was not alone— Iguanus and Drill Bit ambushed Megatron and disabled him. The Predacons brought Megatron to a [[unspace|transwarp]] platform they had set up and prepared to send Megatron into the hands of the Council, but they were interrupted by the wandering [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 3|The Gathering #3}}

[[File:MagmatronVGrimlock TheGathering4.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb]]

Magmatron engaged Grimlock in a vicious [[beast mode]] battle, and despite the Maximal's resilence, Magmatron eventually overwhelmed him. Grimlock was enough of a distraction, however, to let Razorbeast and [[Optimus Minor]] enter the camp undetected and steal a [[chronal phase facilitator]]. When Razorbeast confronted Magmatron in the open, the Predacon general saw an opportunity to settle an old score. But with Razorbeast using the facilitator to shift out of his chronal phase, Magmatron was unable to land a single hit on his smaller opponent. Optimus Minor removed the facilitator attached to the unconscious Megatron, returning the rogue to his proper chronal state. Magmatron lunged to stop it, and ended up falling onto the transwarp platform just as it activated. Razorbeast blasted the device, causing it to malfunction and send Magmatron to parts unknown. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 4|The Gathering #4}}

Razorbeast's meddling in Magmatron's transwarp shunt caused the Predacon commander to be consigned to a temporal limbo, able to traverse the whole of history but unable to affect any of the events he witnessed. Through this, he saw the eventual end of Cybertron as its inhabitants set upon each other with beastly fury while [[Shokaract]] summoned [[Unicron]] to devour the planet. Knowing that the roots of this catastrophic event were already beginning in his time, Magmatron turned to the enemy who had consigned him to this fate. Exerting what little influence he could, he stabilized the Transwarp carrier signal sent by the Maximals weeks earlier, allowing the time-lost distress call to be received by [[Lio Convoy]] and the [[Pack]]. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 1|The Ascending #1}}

[[File:Magmatron Ravage TheAscending2.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb]]

Magmatron's meddling effect on the timestream was noticed by Unicron, who dispatched [[Latolata|Rartorata]] to Earth to deal with the assembling combatants there. His ability to change the future was increased further, however, when during the confusion of the battle on Earth between the Maximal and Predacon forces, a playing 'possum Ravage made contact with the chronal displacement bands. Magmatron was able to use his limited influence to hold Ravage inside chronospace, where he was able to make contact with the former [[Decepticon]]. Magmatron briefed him on the apocalypse that could yet come, urging him to call a truce with the Maximals in an effort to stop the end of all things. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 2|The Ascending #2}}

From his chronal prison, Magmatron watched his rival Big Convoy die at Shokaract's hands in the future, knowing that it was only a prelude to the destruction to come. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 3|The Ascending #3}} A combined group of Maximals and Predacons returned with Ravage to present-day Cybertron to battle Shokaract, arriving before Big Convoy could be killed. Ravage again briefed with Magmatron, who instructed him to send a Maximal to attach a chronal-displacement device onto Shokaract's body. This was eventually accomplished at the cost of many lives and Shokaract was brought to Magmatron within chronospace. Magmatron showed him Cybertron's future and the realization that he was a pawn of Unicron caused a distraught Shokaract to commit suicide, causing a "time-lash" that freed Magmatron from limbo.

The restored Magmatron informed the assembled Maximals and Predacons that the threat had ended. He also reported that his old foe Razorbeast had died on Earth and respectfully declared the Maximal worthy of a momument. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 4|The Ascending #4}}

In [[Primax 208.06 Zeta]], Magmatron and the [[Dinobot (BM)|Dinobot]]s were among the resistance groups against [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]]'s [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] rule of Cybertron. After the defeat of the Vehicons, Magmatron formed a new High Council with [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspscream]], [[Icebird]], and [[Rodimus Primal]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/16}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
[[File:BWU Magmatron.jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.75]]

Magmatron was chief engineering specialist aboard the ''Dinosaur'', overseeing junior engineers [[Crazybolt (BW)|Crazybolt]] and [[Dead End (BW)|Dead-End]]. During the launch of an away mission to [[Metascan Omega|LGC-8803]], the ''Dinosaur'' was attacked by an [[Intruder]] craft, putting Magmatron to work maintaining the integrity of his ship.

He had little time to spare when [[Killer Punch]] came by with a tale of the hallways moving on him and [[Hydra (BW)|Hydra]] possibly being killed. Still, the intelligence specialist's sensor logs were compelling, so Magmatron arranged for a localized brown-out so that Killer Punch could reach the laboratory the ship seemed dedicated to keeping from him. It was only due to Killer Punch's paranoid comms channel that Magmatron saw what happened next. The Builder political officer [[Synapse (BWU)|Synapse]] bragged about killing Hydra before having Killer Punch killed as well. An uprising had begun on Cybertron, and Synapse couldn't have the proto-former crew getting any sympathetic ideas.

Magmatron rallied the remaining members of the crew on board in a plan to reach the captain's chambers and disable the ship's internal defenses. He and [[Guiledart]] made their way to the captain, only to find [[Full-Tilt (G1)|Full-Tilt]] wasn't responsible for the attacks on the crew. He had been severed from control of the ''Dinosaur'', actually the [[Titan (group)|Megamaster]] war criminal once known as [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. Additional damage done by the [[Destructon]] intruders only made the situation more perilous, forcing the chief back to engineering to keep the ship in the air long enough to seize control of it. Once Dead-End disabled Trypticon's higher consciousness, Magmatron and Full-Tilt were able to preserve the ship's integrity long enough to crash it on LGC-8803, opening the starship up into a new colony dubbed [[Trypticon (G1)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Dinosaur City]].

Leaving Full-Tilt, first officer [[Longrack (BW)|Longrack]], and others behind on Dinosaur City, Magmatron manned a shuttle with a contingent of his crew who wished to return to Cybertron and fight in the [[Grand Uprising]]. {{storylink|Intersectionality}}

Magmatron's crew remained intact as a unit when they joined the Resistance. Guiledart, Bazooka, Crazybolt and Rampage were only joined by two additional resistance fighters named [[Archadis]] and [[Sling (BW)|Sling]]. Archadis was an arrogant lout, but his prior loyalty to [[Lio Convoy]] led to him being named second-in-command of Magmatron's squad. During a mission to eliminate a traitor named [[Snapper]] in the midst of a prisoner transfer, Magmatron's unit was separated from Rampage and got into a protracted shoot-out with the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]] guards. Rampage returned, uncharacteristically asking for help. He had been drafted into the defense of Cybertron by the Oracle against the [[Monster GoBot|Antares Eight]], disguised aliens intent on exposing Cybertron to conflict with the [[Human Confederacy]]. Magmatron abandoned Lio Convoy's mission to help Rampage, even fighting alongside Snapper and the Constructicons in the process. Once the dust settled, these united Cybertronians mostly chose to remain together as the [[Ex-Bot (BWU)|Ex-Bots]], defending innocents in [[Proximax]] and beyond from the fallout of the Builders' war with the Resistance. Archadis and Sling left to return to Lio Convoy, but the others remained with Magmatron and Rampage. {{storylink|Cultural Appropriation}}

Magmatron and the Ex-Bots defended Proximax from the horrors of war over the next stellar cycle. Magmatron and the former MaxCop [[Stiletto (BW)|Stiletto]] rose to the top as co-leaders of the motley collection of bots from different factions. They captured a renegade Predacon scientist named [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] intent on using a [[Robosmasher|Robo-Smasher]] on the populace. The war between the Builders and the Resistance was soon overcome by the [[Vehicon Apocalypse]], as the Builders latest weapon turned against them and the planet at large. The Ex-Bots joined the fight, and advanced with various armies on the [[Grand Mal]], center of Vehicon activity. Magmatron and Guiledart found themselves fighting alongside the Legion of the Inferno, army of the [[Independent Predacus States]]. When the Mal fell (thanks to Rampage), Magmatron's three forms coordinated the various forces in corralling and eliminating as many disoriented but functional Vehicons remained.

In the aftermath, Magmatron's battlefield activities had impressed [[Ram Horn]], last survivor of the previous [[Tripredacus Council]]. He was offered a place on the new council, joining Ram Horn and [[Ser-Ket (BWU)|Ser-Ket]], protege of the fallen founder of the Predacons, [[Preditron]]. Magmatron represented the Independent Predacus States at the Grand Summit orchestrated by Lio Convoy, as the [[Cybertronian Parliament]] was forged to lead Cybertron into the next millennium. {{storylink|Derailment}}

===Legends World===
[[File:Legends Epiloge Magmatron.jpg|thumb|upright=0.5]]
The Magmatron of the [[Legends World]] was the principal at a school. When [[Big Convoy|Big]] suggested changing the "HR" for "home room" to "TF" for "''Transformers''" during a staff meeting, Magmatron asked what he was going to do during "TF" period. When the teacher said he'd talk about ''Transformers'', Magmatron noted that was he already was doing that and considered firing him. {{Storylink|LG59 Blitzwing Prologue: Big-sensei#Very Strange|Very Strange}}

After the Legends World was destroyed, Magmatron ended up on [[Beast (planet)|Beast]], where he became a full-fledged Beast Warrior through [[Transformers sickness]] and helped fight against [[Galvatron II]] and his [[Nemesis (BW)|Nemesis]]. {{storylink|The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 3}} When the Legends World was restored, Magmatron returned to it, and saw [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] announce he was leaving the universe. He later was present for the graduation ceremony of Big's class. {{Storylink|Transformers Legends Final Chapter "Epiloge"|Epiloge}}

{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (Takara)}}

: Part of the second wave of ''Beast Wars Neo'' products in Takara's ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)#BWN|Beast Wars]]'' toyline, Magmatron is an Ultra-sized figure that transforms from a massive robot into three prehistoric reptiles: a ''{{w|Quetzalcoatlus}}'' ("Skysaurus"), a ''{{w|Giganotosaurus}}'' ("Landsaurus"), and an ''{{w|Elasmosaurus}}'' ("Seasaurus").

: Each of his individual [[beast mode]]s feature a [[spark crystal]] and a form of storage for all of his accessories: Skysaurus's wings house his "Wing Missiles"; Landsaurus stores his spring-loaded "Magma Blade" hilt in its throat and the blade itself inside the tail; and Seasaurus stores his two "Giga Missiles" inside its body. Each of the individual beast modes also feature a gimmick: Skysaurus's gimmick is activated by pulling on the tail to move the wings in a flapping action; Landsaurus's mouth can plug either of the Skysaurus's Wing Missiles, which are fired by pulling back on the top of the head; and for Seasaurus, pinching on the back flippers makes the front ones move in unison to simulate a swimming motion. All three components of Magmatron can combine to form his quadrupedal "Magmasaurus" mode.

: In [[robot mode]], Magmatron—like most Ultra-sized figures—features multiple gimmicks and weapons. His Magma Blade can be used in two different configurations: the first is the standard sword configuration, while a second handle can be flipped out that allows him to hold it as a blaster. Activating the trigger allows for any of his five missiles to be fired as his "Magma Rocket" attack. The lower section of Seasaurus becomes his "Magma Shield" that mounts on his left arm, and features the swimming gimmick from beast mode, which can now be used as his "Shield Crusher" pincer. As Seasaurus's neck is made up of multiple ball joints, its head can be maneuvered through the gap between his shoulder and his left wing to simulate the "Magma Attack" from the cartoon. Magmatron also features free-rolling wheels on his robot feet which don't serve much of a purpose, though, they can be flipped down on Landsaurus to somewhat replicate [[Transmetal]] [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s "third mode" if so desired. Magmatron's robot head is also mounted on a swivel joint, but due to Skysaurus' legs (which are attached to the sides of his head) being tabbed into the chest, this point of articulation becomes redundant. If one so chooses to untab said legs from the chest, the [[kibble]] on his shoulders ends up interfering with the wings on his head anyway, making this point of articulation just as redundant.

: Pictured in the box just below Magmatron's Magmasaurus mode (in the image to the right), is a recommended configuration for Seasaurus's neck joints to be positioned that enables you to have its head pegged onto his left shoulder snuggly. It's not very appealing to look at from behind, but it reduces the amount of neck hanging from his back and cleans up his silhouette from the front. All of the curves of his back-kibble make everything sit nice and tight against each other too!

: [[Sonokong]] released Magmatron in their [[South Korea|Korean]] ''Beast-War Neo'' toyline. This release is identical to Takara's, with the only differences being [[:File:D-05 Magmatron Sonokong.jpg|the packaging]] and bio cards.

:*''Accessories'': "Magma Blade" Sword-hilt/launcher, "Magma Blade" sword-blade/missile, left & right "Wing Missiles", 2 "Giga Missiles"

: One year after his Japanese release, Hasbro made Magmatron available to customers in the United States as part of the ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' toyline. The toy itself was slightly changed from his original release, with his missiles and sword "rounded off" to better conform with [[For safety reasons|United States safety laws]], and overall has a less "metallic" sheen to his plastic. Another more prominent difference is a duller-mustard shade of yellow paint being present on the pelvis of the robot mode, whereas the original has bright yellow.

: Hasbro's version of Magmatron was available [[exclusive]]ly through [[Target]] stores in the USA. For the most part, the packaging bore little resemblance to its Takara counterpart; however, it ''did'' feature a few elements in Japanese, meant to emphasize the "exotic" origin of the figure, namely a small version of the official Japanese ''Transformers'' logo (トランスフォーマー), the names of the toy itself, its combined beast mode and its three individual components in katakana, as well as a promotional blurb advertising the toy's features in Japanese that was lifted verbatim from the packaging of Takara's original ''Beast Wars'' release.

: The [[instructions]] for Magmatron incorrectly name two of his individual beast modes: the ''Quetzalcoatlus'' is referred to as a "''{{w|Pteranodon}}''", and the ''Giganotosaurus'' is referred to as a "{{w|Dromaeosauridae|raptor}}" (that is one ''biiiiiig'' raptor). The ''Elasmosaurus'' is referred to as a "{{w|Plesiosaur}}", which is ''kinda'' correct, just not as specific. The instructions also label his combined beast mode as a "monster mode".

: His [[bio]] card describes him as a Maximal, and also places him on [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]-dominated Cybertron. However, his separate [[beast mode]]s still retain their Predacon [[spark crystal]]s. His bio card also knocks the "-us" suffix off of the end of each of the individual beast mode names, making them "'''Skysaur'''", "'''Landsaur'''" and "'''Seasaur'''", and calls his combined beast mode a "tri-dinosaur [[Fuzor]]".

: Commemorating the 40th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand, ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: United]]'' "Beast Wars Universe Magmatron" is a Commander Class figure that retains his central [[gimmick]] of splitting into three prehistoric creatures: "Beast Wars Universe Skysaurus" (''Quetzalcoatlus''), "Beast Wars Universe Landsaurus" (''Giganotosaurus''), and "Beast Wars Universe Seasaurus" (''Elasmosaurus''); like most organic beast mode toys since ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'', this time they're all rendered a bit more "realistically", more closely based on modern models for the beast modes. Also like modern ''Beast Wars'' remakes, he lacks any of the old toy's spring-loaded gimmickry. Oh well. Also, while Landsaurus has hinged jaws, they have very limited range of motion and can't open any wider than shown in the stock photos, despite how much detail was given to the inside of his mouth. Stock photography shows Magmatron slightly mistransformed in his robot mode: he has a pair of blades on each foot that are supposed to be extended up between each of his toes for his robot mode.

: All three components can combine to form his "Magmasaurus" mode. The toy's design is so faithful to the original that it includes three ''Beast Wars''-style [[spark crystal]]s—the first new ones created in over twenty years. The [[package art]] on the side of the box is drawn to mimic the [[stock footage|animation style]] used in the cartoon when the three beasts start to combine. The side of the box has "Skysaurus", "Landsaurus", and "Seasaurus" written in [[Alphabet#Autobot script|Ancient Autobot]]. The box also depicts the tusks of [[Big Convoy]].

: Included with Magmatron are seven [[Fire Blast effect]]s parts, which are [[redeco]]s of the set that came with ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[Omega Supreme (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Omega Supreme]]. In spite of this, the figure is remarkably free of blast effect-compatible ports- only his sword is capable using them.

: Magmatron was teased on the ''Legacy: United'' poster art and the toy proper was officially revealed in the [[Hasbro Pulse#1027 Premium Events|Hasbro Pulse 1027 Premium Event]] on [[October 27]]. The [[TakaraTomy]] release of Magmatron includes a sleeve for the package that harkens back to the original ''Beast Wars'' toyline.

==Notes==
[[File:Diaclone Reboot Illustration.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|He's pretty much every vehicle in this image.]]
* Magmatron's Magmasaurus mode was frequently shown to be his primary [[alternate mode]] throughout most of Magmatron's cartoon appearances and Japanese profiles, while the individual dinosaur modes were his secondary alternate modes. It also appears from the ''Beast Wars Neo'' production materials that have made it into the wild, that his individual dinosaur forms were never given full [[character model]]s, just [[:File:BWN-Magmatron-dino-models.jpg|rough outlines]] depicting what the individual dinosaur modes are supposed to be when separated, if the animators were to split them up, while the Magmasaurus mode was given a full, detailed model with front and rear views. Some sourcebooks from the time that show off the ''Neo'' characters' animation models simply use toy production artwork for Magmatron's individual dino modes.
* Magmatron's Maximal on-package bio gives his quotation as "Til all is won", an obvious reference to a similar [['Til all are one|phrase]] that pops up in numerous other places in ''Transformers'' lore.
* The ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of Magmatron is a "virtual redeco" of the revived ''[[Diaclone]]'' line's [http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/pictorial-review-of-diaclone-reboot-diabattles-v2/35531/ Dia-Battles V2] (ダイアバトルスV2) toy.

User:Anon e Mouse Jr.

2024-07-24T13:28:53Z

Anon e Mouse Jr.: Creating page; contents copied and significantly updated from my profile on the FANDOM wiki to fix redlinks and redirects, and also adding a few things.

==About me==
My name is Anon e Mouse Jr., and I'm a Transformers fan who didn't get to really watch the series until early ''Beast Wars'', but have been following it ever since. My favorites are the [[Beast Era]] in general, and from G1, ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|Super-God Masterforce]]''. (The concept of the [[Godmaster (lifeform)|Godmasters]] and other humans who can become Transformers just really interests me.)

Of the various Transformers fan works, I most enjoy [http://www.insecticons.com/insecticomics.html the Insecticomics] (I freely admit that at least part of the "Transformers toys I want" list below resulted from way too many hours of reading that webcomic and finding their cast interesting; related, I also kind of want a pair of Dalek figures, identical to the pair that appear in that series) and the works of [https://archiveofourown.org/users/Kenyastarflight Kenyastarflight].

==The Transformers toys I want==

My general rule for this list can be summed up as "BBC: [http://www.tfu.info/ID/blue.htm Blue], [[Popular beast alternate modes|Beasts]] or [[Combiner|Combiners]]". (Or some combination thereof.) There are a few exceptions to that rule, however. (Most of whom are from the [[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Transformers: Cybertron]] toyline. It's entirely the [[Cyber Planet Key|Cyber Keys']] fault; I kind of like the gimmick and want a full set of the keys.)

I also like some of the old gimmicks from G1, like [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] and [[Powermaster|Powermasters]]/Godmasters, and the Japanese take on the [[Pretender|Pretenders]], wherein they disguised themselves as normal humans to blend in among the civilian populace before summoning armor and ''then'' reverting to robot mode, rather than using the "outer shells" concept. (Not that that concept is bad, I just like the "henshin hero" style better.)

Note that the list is prone to expansion if I'm in the mood. (And yes, I'm aware it's already at close to a hundred. I still like them.)

Also, if anyone here is a kitbasher who can get their hands on a [http://www.tfu.info/1987/Decepticon/Scorponok/scorponok.htm G1 Scorponok] and a [http://www.tfu.info/1988/Destron/BlackZarak/blackzarak.htm G1 Black Zarak], then repaint certain accessories from [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] to gold (in order to match their BZ counterparts), contact me. The only reason he's NOT on the above list is because of the risk of [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]].

Ditto for [http://www.tfu.info/1989/Destron/Kakuryu/kakuryu.htm Kakuryu] and [http://www.tfu.info/1989/Decepticon/Slog/slog.htm Slog]: I want a [[Slog (G1)|Slog]] figure (including his shell) that won't suffer from GPS. (As with many of these toys, you can blame Wayward and her Insecticomics for really introducing him to me as a character.)

* [http://www.tfu.info/1996/Maximal/Armordillo/armordillo.htm Armordillo] - I also like [[Armordillo|armadillos]].
* [http://www.tfu.info/1997/Maximal/Cybershark/cybershark.htm Cybershark] - [[Cybershark|the original version]], not his [[Transmetal 2]] upgrade (I already own that mold).
* [http://www.tfu.info/1998/Maximal/DepthCharge/depthcharge.htm Depth Charge] - another [[Depth Charge (BW)|sea creature]].
* [http://www.tfu.info/1997/Predacon/DrillBit/drillbit.htm Drill Bit] - I remember playing with a toy of [[Drill Bit (BW)|this guy]] at camp one year. It's been a long time, but I still remember him fondly.
* [http://www.tfu.info/1997/Predacon/Lazorbeak/lazorbeak.htm Lazorbeak] - Blame Wayward for [[Lazorbeak|this one]]; the character is one of the main cast of the Insecticomics.
* [http://www.tfu.info/1997/Maximal/Magnaboss/magnaboss.htm Magnaboss] - [[Magnaboss (BW)|one]] of the two Beast Wars combiner teams.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2006/Predacon/TRUMegatron/megatron.htm Toys R Us 10th Anniversary Megatron] - not the one with the Cyber Planet Key, but the retooled edition of the original Ultra-class toy. Comes packaged with a similarly retooled Ultra-class Optimus Primal. (And yes, I want both [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Beast Wars 10th Anniversary|Megatron]] and [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Beast Wars 10th Anniversary|Optimus Primal]].)
* [http://www.tfu.info/2006/Predacon/Megatron/megatron.htm Beast Wars 10th Anniversary Megatron] - THIS is the one with the Cyber Planet Key, and a miniature replica of the [[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]].
* [http://www.tfu.info/1996/Maximal/OnyxPrimal/onyxprimal.htm Onyx Primal] - I'm not sure why I originally added [[Onyx Primal]] to this list. But he's on here.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2006/Maximal/OptimusPrimal/optimusprimal.htm Beast Wars 10th Anniversary Optimus Primal] - the counterpart to the second Megatron toy on this list. Includes a Cyber Planet Key, a hoverboard and a miniature replica of the [[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]].
* [http://www.tfu.info/1997/Maximal/Packrat/packrat.htm Packrat] - He's a [[Packrat|blue rat]], and therefore fits two of my main criteria from the BBC list.
* [http://www.tfu.info/1999/Maximal/WalmartRattrap/walrat.htm Walmart Rattrap] - AKA Transmetal Packrat.
* [http://www.tfu.info/1998/Predacon/Quickstrike/quickstrike.htm Quickstrike] - [[Quickstrike (BW)|the Fuzor]]. (Features heavily in the Insecticomics.)
* [http://www.tfu.info/1998/Maximal/Silverbolt/silverbolt.htm Silverbolt] - [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|the Fuzor]], and easily one of the best designs of his type.
* [http://www.tfu.info/1996/Predacon/Terrorsaur/terrorsaur.htm Terrorsaur] - [[Terrorsaur (BW)|regular version]]. (Again: features heavily in the Insecticomics.)
* [http://www.tfu.info/1996/Maximal/Tigatron/tigatron.htm Tigatron] - [[Tigatron|the original Cheetor repaint]]. (This is from the "combiner" aspect of my requirements. Even if he doesn't combine in the standard way...)
* [http://www.tfu.info/1999/Maximal/Tigerhawk/tigerhawk.htm Tigerhawk] - the [[Tigerhawk|Vok emissary]], created by fusing Tigatron and Airazor.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2006/Maximal/Trans-Mutate/trans-mutate.htm Transmutate] - created from a badly damaged protoform, this character finally saw release in six pieces. I'm not interested in the figures those pieces came with. I just want [[Transmutate (BW)|Transmutate]] herself.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2006/Predacon/Waspinator/waspinator.htm Waspinator] - [[Waspinator (BW)|this figure]] might be the exception to the "original colorings" rule. This is the 2006 edition of the toy, mostly because I prefer his paintjob.
* [http://www.tfu.info/1998/Predacon/Waspinator/waspinator.htm Transmetal Waspinator] - this is the original edition of the toy, not the yellow ''Fox Kids'' repaint. (That version can easily be used to portray a Transmetal version of [[Buzz Saw (BW)|Buzz Saw]] though.)

===[[Beast Machines: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Machines]]===

* [http://www.tfu.info/2001/Maximal/BattleUnicorn/battleunicorn.htm Battle Unicorn] - one of the few [[Battle Unicorn|equine Transformers]], and a better design than [[Mach Kick]], in my opinion, simply because he has much less beast kibble. Also, his design was once considered for a toy representing Twilight Sparkle as a Transformer. How could I ''not'' like that idea?
* [http://www.tfu.info/2000/Maximal/Buzzsaw/buzzsaw.htm Buzz Saw] - [[Buzz Saw (BW)|a Predacon who got reformatted and turned Maximal]]. At least, that's what his tech specs imply.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2001/Maximal/Hammerstrike/hammerstrike.htm Hammerstrike] - [[Cybershark#Beast Machines|Again, a shark.]]
* [http://www.tfu.info/1999/Destron/Magmatron/magmatron.htm Magmatron] - [[Magmatron]], a member of the [[Dinobot (BM)|Beast Machines Dinobots]].
* [http://www.tfu.info/2001/Maximal/NightSlashCheetor/cheetor.htm Night Slash Cheetor] - I like [[Cheetor (BW)#Beast Machines 2|this fourth version]] of his BM toy.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2000/Maximal/Quickstrike/quickstrike.htm Quickstrike] - [[Quickstrike (BW)|the original character]] in a new body, or merely [[Quickstrike (BM)|a namesake]]? You be the judge.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2001/Vehicon/SpyStreak/spystreak.htm Spy Streak] - I'm not sure why I wanted [[Spy Streak|this guy]]. Maybe just to be different.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2000/Vehicon/Thrust/thrust.htm Thrust] - [[Thrust (BM)|Waspinator reborn!]]
* [http://www.tfu.info/2001/Maximal/Tigatron/tigatron.htm Transmetal Tigatron] - once again, this is from the "combiner" aspect of my requirements. Even if he was actually created from splitting a fused Transformer back into his two parts.

===[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]===

* [http://www.tfu.info/2003/Autobot/Jetfire/jetfire.htm Jetfire] - if you're going to have two parts of a combiner, why not [[Jetfire (Armada)|the third]]?
* [http://www.tfu.info/2002/Autobot/OptimusPrime/optimusprime.htm Optimus Prime] - [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|he's a combiner]], what can I say? (Though I expect, given some of the hazards that have been reported, that I'll transform the trailer once into "legs mode" and then remove the batteries for good if I can.)
* [http://www.tfu.info/2003/Decepticon/Thundercracker/thundercracker.htm Thundercracker] - [[Thundercracker (Armada)|he's blue]],, and the mold itself is a good design.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2003/Decepticon/TidalWave/tidalwave.htm Tidal Wave] - [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|''Tidal Wave... Tidal Wave... Tidal Wave...'']] Okay, so he's not the brightest boat on the block. But he's certainly one of the [[Size class#Size class chart|biggest]]. (And no, I do not have [[Megatron (Armada)/toys|Megatron]] on my list of toys to get at this time.)
* [http://www.tfu.info/2003/Unicron/Unicron/unicron.htm Unicron] - the [[Unicron|Chaos-Bringer!]] In his first fully-released toy form!

===[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]===

* [http://www.tfu.info/2005/Decepticon/ConstructiconMaximus/constructiconmaximus.htm Constructicon Maximus] - [[Constructicon Maximus]], the combined form of the Decepticon [[Construction Team]]. Because you can never have too many [[Constructicon (disambiguation)|Constructicons]].
* [http://www.tfu.info/2004/Autobot/Mega-Dinobot/mega-dinobot.htm Mega-Dinobot] - [[Grimlock (Energon)|Grimlock]] and [[Swoop (Energon)|Swoop]]! And [[Mega-Dinobot|they combine!]]
* [http://www.tfu.info/2004/Decepticon/TidalWave/tidalwave.htm Tidal Wave] - yes, another version of Tidal Wave.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2004/Autobot/UltraMagnus/ultramagnus.htm Ultra Magnus] - the repaint of [[Overload (Armada)|Overload]]. In [[Ultra Magnus (Energon)|blue and white]]. Who also happens to be a combiner. ([[Ultra Magnus (disambiguation)|The character]]'s trend to have blue colors in so many of his incarnations is the reason I have so many of him on my list.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2004/Unicron/Unicron/unicron.htm Unicron] - a repaint of the first toy. He has an interesting color scheme.

===[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]===

* [http://www.tfu.info/2006/Decepticon/CryoScourge/cryoscourge.htm Cryo Scourge] - Once again, blame the Insecticomics. [[Scourge (Cybertron)|This version is blue!]]
* [http://www.tfu.info/2006/Autobot/Metroplex/metroplex.htm Metroplex] - [[Metroplex (Cybertron)|he's]] mainly here because I wanted his [[Cyber Planet Key]]. The fact that he's blue doesn't hurt.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2005/Decepticon/Mudflap/mudflap.htm Mudflap] - [[Mudflap (Cybertron)|another blue Decepticon]]. Saw him in the Insecticomics, found out his name and decided "What the heck".
* [http://www.tfu.info/2005/Autobot/Override/override.htm Override] - as with Metroplex, I wanted [[Override (Cybertron)|her]] Cyber Planet Key. (The fact that she's one of the rare female Transformers doesn't hurt.)
* [http://www.tfu.info/2006/Autobot/OverrideGTS/overridegts.htm Override GTS] - Wayward uses this toy to portray Nitro Convoy, who (within the continuity of the Insecticomics) is Override's twin brother.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2006/Primus/Primus/primus.htm Primus] - the [[Primus|GOD]] of all Transformers! And he's blue!
* [http://www.tfu.info/2006/Decepticon/Shortround/shortround.htm Shortround] - yep, [[Shortround (Cybertron)|another blue Decepticon]]. (Who also appears in the Insecticomics.)
* [http://www.tfu.info/2005/Autobot/Snarl/snarl.htm Snarl] - come to think of it, I'm not sure WHY [[Snarl (Cybertron)|he's]] on the list. But he's staying there regardless.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2005/Decepticon/Thunderblast/thunderblast.htm Thunderblast] - [[Thunderblast (Decepticon)|a rare female Decepticon]]. (Who also appears in the Insecticomics.) Need I say more?
* [http://www.tfu.info/2006/Unicron/Unicron/unicron.htm Unicron] - the tank version. In the Insecticomics, this toy is used to represent the Devourist.

===[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]===

* [http://www.tfu.info/2007/Decepticon/AltRavage/ravage.htm Ravage] - yes, the one that turns from a car into a panther.

===[[Transformers: Classics|Classics (2006)]]===

* [http://www.tfu.info/2006/Decepticon/ClassicsAstrotrain/astrotrain.htm Astrotrain] - Why [[Astrotrain (G1)#Classics 2|he]] never threatened to dump the other Decepticons into space [[The Transformers: The Movie|on the way back to Cybertron]] and take control of their faction, I'll never understand.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2006/Autobot/ClassicsGrimlock/grimlock.htm Grimlock] - He's [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Classics|Grimlock]], what other reason do I need?
* [http://www.tfu.info/2006/Autobot/ClassicsRodimus/rodimus.htm Rodimus] - [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Classics|Can you say,]] [[Articulation|''articulation''?]]
* [http://www.tfu.info/2007/Decepticon/ClassicsConstructiconDevastator/constructicondevastator.htm Devastator] - [[Devastator (G1)/toys#Classics|Classics Devastator]], a repaint of ''Energon'''s "Constructicon Maximus" in the green and purple colors of the original Devastator. In the Insecticomics, this quintet is used to portray Scavenger and his harem, the only combiner team in their universe until they transferred to the Insecticomics setting and joined Starscream's new Brigade.

===[[Titanium Series]]===

* [http://www.tfu.info/2007/Autobot/TitUltraMagnus/ultramagnus.htm Ultra Magnus] - the only version of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|G1 Ultra Magnus]] I know (at the time of the original writing, at least) that doesn't have to be combined with a separate trailer to assume his full robot form; it's built into him.

===[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|R.I.D.]]===

* [http://www.tfu.info/2001/Predacon/Cryotek/cryotek.htm Cryotek] - One can never have too many [[Cryotek (RID)|blue dragons]].
* [http://www.tfu.info/2002/Maximal/SupremeOptimusPrimal/optimusprimal.htm Supreme Optimus Primal] - [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Robots in Disguise .282001.29|this toy]] was held over from the Beast Machines line. I already have [http://www.tfu.info/2000/Maximal/SupCheetor/cheetor.htm Supreme Cheetor] in my collection, so why not get the other toy from that set?

===[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]===

* [http://www.tfu.info/2008/Decepticon/Blackarachnia/blackarachnia.htm Blackarachnia] - [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|she's]] to go with the Silverbolt figure listed under the Beast Wars section.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2008/Autobot/Grimlock/grimlock.htm Grimlock] - [[Grimlock (Animated)|Dinobots! Dinobots! Dinobots!]] (And [http://WaywardInsecticon.deviantart.com/art/Insecticomic-filler-II-105275842 this picture] doesn't hurt his cause.)
* [http://www.tfu.info/2008/Autobot/Snarl/snarl.htm Snarl] - [[Snarl (Animated)|Dinobots! Dinobots! Dinobots!]]
* [http://www.tfu.info/2008/Autobot/Swoop/swoop.htm Swoop] - [[Swoop (Animated)|Dinobots! Dinobots! Dinobots!]]
* [http://www.tfu.info/2008/Autobot/UltraMagnus/ultramagnus.htm Ultra Magnus] - one of the rare non-repaint/retools to bear that name. In fact, [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|he's]] just about the ONLY non-repaint/retool to bear that name. (Yes, [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|RID Ultra Magnus]] is part of the repaint/retool crowd. He was originally God Magnus from ''Car Robots''.)
* [http://www.tfu.info/2009/Decepticon/Waspinator/waspinator.htm Waspinator] - Another [[Wasp|Waspinator]] for my collection...

===[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]===

* [http://www.tfu.info/2003/Autobot/ApexPrime/apexprime.htm Apex Prime] - AKA [[Powermaster]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], but with an addition: the [[Apex Bomber]] toy, formerly exclusive to Japan (where he was known as GodBomber).
* [http://www.tfu.info/1986/Autobot/HotRod/hotrod.htm Hot Rod] - [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Generation One|the classic version]], rereleased as ''Rodimus Major''.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2004/Autobot/20thPrime/optimusprime.htm 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime] - I ''wanted'' the Ultra Magnus version because of his colors, but he didn't include a decent trailer that could combine with him... so I went for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|the next best thing]]. (Besides, I want that [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] accessory.)
* [http://www.tfu.info/1986/Autobot/RodimusPrime/rodimusprime.htm Rodimus Prime] - ''Arise, [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Generation One|Rodimus Prime...]]'' as a reissue!

===[[Movie (franchise)|Movie]]===

* [http://www.tfu.info/2007/Autobot/TargetArcee/arcee.htm Arcee] - [[Arcee (Movie)#Scout Class toys|blue motorcycle!]] Blue FEMALE motorcycle!
* [http://www.tfu.info/2007/Decepticon/Blackout/blackout.htm Blackout] - [[Blackout (Movie)|the helicopter with a scorpion fetish]]. Comes with a tiny silver figurine of his partner [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]].
* [http://www.tfu.info/2007/Decepticon/Scorponok/scorponok.htm Scorponok] - this is the Deluxe edition of the toy. And if I can get my hands on the ''Decepticon Desert Attack'' set, I can get both him AND Blackout (including the one Scorponok figurine) in one set, and save money.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2008/Decepticon/LegendsScorponok/scorponok.htm Legends Class Scorponok] - comes packaged with Bumblebee, though the latter toy isn't on my list.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2007/Decepticon/RHScorponok/scorponok.htm Robot Heroes Scorponok] - comes packaged with Robot Heroes Optimus Prime, though the latter toy isn't on my list.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2007/Decepticon/Barricade/barricade.htm Barricade] - [[Barricade (Movie)|the Decepticon police car]].
* [http://www.tfu.info/2014/Autobot/Scorn/scorn.htm Scorn] - Saw a review of [[Scorn#Generations|him]]; he's just plain awesome. And reminds me a lot of a certain other Spinosaurus from [http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/Zyuden_Sentai_Kyoryuger Kyoryuger].
* [http://www.tfu.info/2014/Autobot/OptimusPrime/optimusprime.htm Optimus Prime] - the 2014, Age of Extinction Leader-class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|figure]]. Saw a review, thought it was awesome.

===[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]===

* [http://www.tfu.info/2007/SWTF/HanSolo/hansolo.htm Han Solo...]
* [http://www.tfu.info/2007/SWTF/Chewbacca/chewbacca.htm And Chewbacca] - [[Han Solo|these]] [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Chewbacca two] are actually packaged together, combining into the ''Millennium Falcon''.

* [http://www.tfu.info/2007/SWTF/DarthVader/darthvader.htm Darth Vader] - [[Darth Vader|He]] turns into the [[Death Star]]. (Not a TIE Fighter, though there was a toy like that too.)

===Other series Transformers===

* [http://www.tfu.info/2007/Decepticon/BCDirge/dirge.htm Botcon Dirge] - [[Dirge (G1)#Timelines|a recolor]] of [[Ramjet (G1)#Classics 2|Classics Ramjet]]. (The ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (franchise)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' version is also acceptable.)
* [http://www.tfu.info/2007/Decepticon/BCThundercracker/thundercracker.htm Botcon Thundercracker] - [[Thundercracker (G1)#Timelines|a recolor]] of [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Classics|Classics Starscream]]. (The ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (franchise)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' version is also acceptable.)
* [http://www.tfu.info/1998/Cybertron/Powerhug/powerhug.htm Powerhug] - In the Insecticomics, [[Powerhug (BW)|this character]] got amnesia and now believes himself to be Blinky, the universe's loviest pillbug. ''I'' happen to think he's cute, even if some people (cough*Dad*cough) see him only as a bug.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2008/Decepticon/TFUDirge/dirge.htm Transformers Universe Classics Dirge] - [[Dirge (G1)/toys#Universe .282008.29|a Target exclusive]], comes packaged with [[Roadbuster (G1)#Universe .282008.29|Roadbuster]], though the latter toy isn't on my list.

* Power of the Primes Evolution Rodimus Prime - the sheer concept of [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Power of the Primes|this guy]], a Hot Rod who can change into Rodimus Prime without buying a second figure, is just excellent.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2008/Marvel/IronMan/ironman.htm Iron Man] - I discovered [[Iron Man|this]] courtesy of Baltmatrix on Youtube. He's right, it is an awesome figure.

==Toys already in my collection==

This is going to be a small section...

In order of acquisition:

* [http://www.tfu.info/2001/Autobot/RailRacer/railracer.htm Rail Racer] - [[Railspike (RID)|all]] [[Midnight Express (RID)|three]] [[Rapid Run (RID)|components]] of [[Rail Racer (RID)|Rail Racer]], sold separately but bought at the same time.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2001/Predacon/SkyByte/skybyte.htm Sky-Byte] - [[Sky-Byte (RID)|SHARK!]]
* [http://www.tfu.info/2001/Autobot/OptimusPrime/optimusprime.htm RID Optimus Prime] - the [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Autobot leader]] who combines with...
* [http://www.tfu.info/2001/Autobot/UltraMagnus/ultramagnus.htm RID Ultra Magnus] - [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|really]], I was after combiners at the time.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2000/Maximal/SupCheetor/cheetor.htm Beast Machines Supreme Cheetor] - [[Cheetor (BW)#Beast Machines 2|he]], Prime and Magnus were bought at the same time. He was about the only BM toy left on the shelf at that location, so I scooped him up while I had the chance.
* [http://www.tfu.info/2002/Autobot/Sideways/sideways.htm Sideways] and [http://www.tfu.info/2002/Decepticon/Axer/axer.htm Axer] - a Walmart Exclusive [[Sideways (Armada)#Robots in Disguise|two-toys-i]][[Axer (G1)#Robots in Disguise .282001.29|n-one-box]] set.

And that's the extent of my current collection. Here's hoping it grows much larger, eventually.
