:''Battletrap is a [[Decepticon]] [[Duocon]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Battletrapboxart.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|The Cybertronian equivalent of a Wuzzle.]]
Of the two [[Duocon]]s, '''Battletrap''' is the sane one. In contrast to [[Flywheels]], whose two components are constantly bickering, Battletrap uses the two separate vehicles of his [[alternate mode]] in concert with each other. He likes to play with his target in the way a housecat might play with a rodent...that is, if said housecat happened to have a separate avian part of itself that could fly like a hummingbird.

Sometimes, Battletrap is the combined form of [[Battleslash]] and [[Roadtrap (Generations)|Roadtrap]].

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
{{noteukonly}}

[[File:RingOfHate-Fasttrack.jpg|left|thumb|250px|lookit me way back here!]]

Battletrap was a part of [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]]'s army of Decepticons on Cybertron. Battletrap was seen in his truck mode when Scorponok called on his cowardly troops to retreat from a battle with the formidable [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}} Upon learning the co-ordinates of the planet [[Nebulos]] from [[Zarak (G1)|Lord Zarak]], requesting the Decepticons help in ridding the [[Autobot]]s from his world, Scorponok ordered his army to lay siege to the alien planet. Battletrap was seen in his helicopter mode as part of a battalion carrying Decepticons from their spacecraft to the surface of Nebulos, where he remained out of sight, away from the main events. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}} Later, every Decepticon on the planet left Nebulos in pursuit of the Autobots to planet Earth. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

[[File:Uk202timewarsMayhems.JPG|right|upright=1.4|thumb|Battletrap isn't too proud to play dead when necessary.]]
[[File:Crankcase battletrap quake the void.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.6|"It takes a while to get all the dents out after being thrown against a wall, OK?"]]
''Some time later, Battletrap left Scorponok and returned to Cybertron for unknown reasons. On the bridge to [[Tyrest]], Battletrap and his [[Duocon]] partner [[Flywheels]] in their aerial modes along with other Decepticons engaged in a brief battle against [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and the [[Sparkabot]]s while on a regular patrol. The Duocons managed to avoid the Sparkabots fire and were able to knock them out in an explosion, incurring the wrath of Ultra Magnus. Battletrap was out of Ultra Magnus' reach but Flywheels was not so fortunate. Paranoid of the rumors of "the walking dead" in [[Kalis]], Battletrap abandoned Flywheels to the Autobots rather than daring to cross into that [[Polities of Cybertron|city-state]].'' {{storylink|City of Fear!}} ''Battletrap was later a member of the original [[Mayhem Attack Squad]] and took part in their joint mission with the [[Wrecker]]s to destroy [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] in the [[Time Wars]]. He was one of the first warriors to fall during the battle, his chest torn open by Galvatron before being smashed against a wall.'' {{storylink|Time Wars}}

''Despite his apparent "death",'' Battletrap appeared with the gathered Autobots and Decepticons on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to hear the words of [[Primus]] through [[Emirate]] [[Xaaron]] immediately before the arrival of [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}} Despite the heavy casualties suffered by both sides, he survived the subsequent battle and also narrowly escaped death at the hands of subterranean [[Demon|Cybertronian monsters]] shortly after, though his buddy [[Runabout (G1)|Runabout]] wasn't so lucky. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}

When Cybertron began shaking itself apart, Battletrap escaped the planet with the rest of the Decepticons under [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s command. Leaving their Autobot "allies" stranded, they went on to conquer the planet [[Klo]], massacring its [[Klozian|fleshy, pink-skinned inhabitants]]. {{storylink|The Last Autobot?}} When the Autobots finally caught up with them, the Decepticons mostly massacred them too, with only a few survivors escaping into the swamps. However their moment of victory was interrupted by the arrival of the [[Neo-Knights]], a newly resurrected [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] and the [[Last Autobot]]. Battletrap joined the other Decepticons in dogpiling Prime but was caught off guard by the arrival of the other Autobot survivors and was run over by [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prowl]]. Nevertheless, he survived the battle and retreated along with the other Decepticons when Bludgeon realised the day was lost. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}

=====Another Time & Place=====
Battletrap was part of the raid on [[Hydrus Four]] by Bludgeon and his army. After the Autobots arrived, he allegedly was about to shoot [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] in the back, but was shot down instead by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]. {{storylink|Another Time & Place}}

{{note|The text piece described Sunstreaker as being menaced by "Battletrap in tank mode". Battletrap doesn't HAVE a tank mode. Maybe this is another clue that Battletrap and Flywheels' names were mixed up early on, but more likely it was supposed to be [[Quake (G1)|Quake]], another prominent member of Bludgeon's Decepticons.}}

====Marvel ''Generation 2'' comic====
In the first battle between the two generations of Decepticons, Battletrap was badly wounded and had to be carried back to safety inside of the [[Warworld]]. {{storylink|New Dawn}}

====''Classics''====
{{noteclassics}}
Battletrap continued his service with Bludgeon's forces on into the 21st century. He was summoned by [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]] to help with a waste disposal job after [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Grrr]] was branded a traitor and eliminated fighting [[Piranacon (G1)|Piranacon]]. {{storylink|At Fight's End}}

====''Regeneration One''====
{{NoteRG1}}
[[File:Neo-decepticons counterpoint.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|I've never been to Kalis before. Sounds like a nice place, I think.]]
Twenty-one years after the defeat at Klo, Battletrap joined up with [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]]'s "Neo-Decepticon" insurgency at [[Fort Scyk]] in [[Polyhex]] and participated in a raid on the Kalis [[Baird Beaming Transmitter]], allowing Soundwave to take control of one of Cybertron's orbital defence satellites and destroy the [[Last Autobot]]. {{storylink|Counterpoint}} Later, he attacked one of Cybertron's communications facilities alongside [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]], [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]] and [[Windsweeper]] to blind the Autobots to [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s approach. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Two}}

====''Transformers '84''====
[[File:TF84 BattletrapAttack.jpg|left|upright=1.3|thumb|[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77gP6L3V5Yw Nice shoes]]]
Battletrap, along with [[Flywheels]] and [[Punch (G1)|Counterpunch]], was part of a Decepticon unit under [[Wingspan]]'s command. They followed the Autobots [[Fastlane]] and [[Cloudraker (G1)|Cloudraker]] to [[Earth]] in [[1017]], intent on locating the long-lost [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. Eager for action, Battletrap and Flywheels headed off to scout the terrain, leaving Wingspan alone with Counterpunch. When the Duocons returned they found Wingspan had been ''mysteriously'' killed and, blaming the Autobots, the three Decepticons headed off to confront them. In the ensuing battle, Battletrap was floored by Cloudraker's [[gravity-rod rifle]]. {{storylink|Transformers '84 issue 0|'84 #0}}

[[File:FinalShowdown2 Battletrap stomp.JPG|right|upright=1.1|thumb|Battletrap shows ''everyone'' his foot fungus.]]
Battletrap and Flywheels were under the command of [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], who first sent them into battle when the Autobots and Decepticons were fighting over a [[Floppy disk|disk]] containing data on the [[Master Sword]]. After overwhelming the Autobot [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]]s and playing a quick game of "catch", Battletrap got his hands on the disk and delivered it to Scorponok. {{storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} Scorponok used the data to create the [[Zarak Shield]], and when a group of Autobots came to investigate, the two Duocons joined the Decepticon Targetmasters in stopping them. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}} The Decepticons were later led into a trap on the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], and Battletrap was caught up in the ensuing battle. He shot down the air fighter [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]]'s friend [[Kirk]] was piloting. {{storylink|Operation: Destroy the Decepticons}}

By order of Scorponok, the two Duocons later planted a bomb on [[Juno]], one powerful enough to destroy the entire asteroid. {{storylink|Duel on the Asteroid}} Battletrap and Flywheels participated in the final battle against the Autobots in the [[Arctic]]. Battletrap got the drop on [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] and [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] and was about to stomp them to death when he was interrupted by the rogue [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. When it looked like Scorponok's plan to destroy the [[Earth]] was going to be successful, the Duocons fled into space to watch the results from afar. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[File:Duocons from MtMtE -8.jpg|upright=1.1|left|thumb|"It is only logical that there will be no side-effects from this whatsoever."]]
Battletrap and Flywheels were created by Shockwave as early prototypes for his [[Triple Changer]] fascination. Instead of achieving three alternating modes, however, they gained the ability to separate into two different alternate modes at once. {{storylink|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye#Issue #8|MTMTE #8}}
{{-}}

====''TransTech''====
When he was diagnosed with [[Machanimus Disjunctus]], Battletrap was upgraded into a Triple Changer to save his life. {{storylink|#Timelines|BotCon 2015 Battletrap bio card}} He managed to get himself stranded on [[Axiom Nexus]], and wound up with the number four spot on the "Cybertron's most wanted" list. His crimes were so numerous that he had trouble remembering them all. {{storylink|Cybertron's Most Wanted}} In a [[public service announcement]] for the [[Axiom Nexus Security Administration|OZSA]], [[Axiom Nexus News]] reporter [[Rook (TransTech)|Rook]] questioned why Battletrap was number four on the list as none of the crimes on his long record (petty theft, graffiti, etc.) included specifically malicious ones. Rook further reported criminal profiler [[Torca (TransTech)|Torca]]'s (correct) analysis that Battletrap was a grunt for a boss and not a leader on his own. {{storylink|Rook - Axiom Nexus News: Investigative Journalist|Rook - Axiom Nexus News, 2015/06/15}}

Battletrap found Axiom Nexus to be boring, but nonetheless found excitement in the Under City, where he fell in with fellow registries on the "most wanted list" [[Stepper (SG)|Stepper]], [[Nebulon (SG)|Nebulon]], and [[Megatron (Movie)#TransTech|C-81]]. Under C-81's leadership, the group planned to steal the parts for an inter-universal gate so as to run an off-the-books travel agency. On one of their raids, the group found themselves on the run from the OZSA, the chase leading them into [[Seeker-Shinai]], where the law caught up to them. They were locked up together in the Offworlder Maximum security prison, where Battletrap and his group met [[Oilmaster]] and [[Packrat]]. Thanks to these two new additions, the lot of them managed to escape prison and once more went on the run. On their way out, Battletrap fought his fair share of [[Blastcharge Strika Drone]]s.

[[File:BattletrapbattlesWaruders-CMW.jpg|thumb|right|upright=2.1|First we crack the shell, then we crack the bugs inside!]]
When Battletrap and the others finally made it outdoors, they found Axiom Nexus to be completely offline. Taking advantage of the cover of darkness, they headed for the city's underground tunnel network. There, they encountered [[Burn Out]], [[Lift-Ticket (Diaclone)|Lift-Ticket]], and [[Spy-Eye]], who all took off upon seeing them. Suspecting they might be off to report the prison escapees, Battletrap suggested they follow this new group while he restocked on weaponry from one of the crime group's stashes. Delving deeper underground, the group came the [[Waruder]]s. These new players proved considerably more hostile. Using his sword and gun, Battletrap discovered the Waruders' pilot/exo-suit nature. The group now knew how to dispatch the Waruders thanks to Battletrap, but they nonetheless found themselves overwhelmed by sheer numbers. Though they tried to run, Battletrap and the others eventually found themselves too battered to flee. It was at this time that both the strangers they had previously encountered and the law-enforcers [[Optimus Prime (G1)#General Optimus|General Optimus Prime]] and [[Hound (G1)#TransTech|Sergeant Hound]] met up with them. All three teams band together to fight against the Waruders. The Waruders eventually surrendered when C-81 offered them another Cybertron to feast upon instead of the local one. C-81's group built their inter-dimensional gate, and were allowed to go free in return for their part in thwarting the invasion.

Cybertron's most wanted were content with getting out of the adventure alive...all of them except Packrat, who still had felt compelled to pick-pocket one of the cops. Disgruntled by this last turn of events, Battletrap expressed interest in visiting one of the city's many pubs. {{storylink|Cybertron's Most Wanted}}

:*''First Appearance:'' [[City on Fire|''Transformers: Robots in Disguise'' #12]]

[[File:CityOnFire Battletrap.jpg|left|upright=0.9|thumb|This is seriously his clearest, least-obscured appearance in this entire continuity.]]
When the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons ended, Battletrap appeared among the Decepticons who helped repopulate Cybertron with the Autobots and the [[NAIL]]s. After [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] returned from months in the wilds of Cybertron, Battletrap and the remaining Decepticons stood up to [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]] and the Autobot-led police as they tried to execute him. Rioting broke out in the streets as Battletrap and the Decepticons violently celebrated their leader's return. {{storylink|City on Fire}} Led by [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]], the rioting mob stormed the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] prison and freed Megatron. {{storylink|The Verge}}

Later, Battletrap found himself living in the Decepticon ghetto outside [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. He attacked the interlopers [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]], along with the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] and other disgruntled Decepticons, but they were sent packing by the arrival of [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]] and [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]]. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}}

*'''Battletrap''' (Duocon, 1987)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''D-96'''
**''Accessories'': "Double-Barreled Assault Missile Launcher"
:As a Duocon, Battletrap is a single robot which splits into two separate vehicles. When separated, the robot transforms into a simplified gray [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#AH-64 Apache copter|AH-64 Apache helicopter]] and a blue Ford F-150 camper truck. In [[robot mode]], he has a gray double-barreled cannon that mounts on his shoulder. The gray dual cannon can also be mounted on top of the truck or beneath the cockpit of the helicopter.

**''Accessories'': Double-barreled missile launcher, two missiles, rotor blades/"Night-Fire Blade"

:''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' Battletrap is a blue and gray [[retool]] of ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Voyager Class [[Springer (G1)/toys#Thrilling 30|Springer]], featuring a new head, who transforms into both an armored car and a helicopter. His helicopter rotors detach to transform into a sword that is held by his hands via [[5 mm post]], and can store underneath his car mode. He also comes with a dual missile launcher that fires its two missiles in succession via a two-step pressure launch. The launcher features a jointed 5 mm handle to allow it to pivot, and can mount underneath the helicopter cockpit. He has two 5 mm ports on his back, the sword hilt has an additional post, and the launcher has additional ports at the top and bottom.

:The original version of this mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Cloud|Hot Rodimus]], and extensively retooled into ''Thrilling 30'' [[Sandstorm (G1)#Thrilling 30|Sandstorm]]. It also served as the model for the non-toy ''Beast Wars: Uprising'' incarnations of [[Dinobot (BW)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Dynobot]] and [[Grimlock (G1)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Grimlock]].

:Battletrap was available exclusively in a five-figure box set, packaged with [[Packrat#Timelines|Packrat]], [[Stepper (SG)#Toys|''Shattered Glass'' Stepper]], [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Timelines|Megatron]], and [[Oilmaster#Timelines|Oilmaster]].

[[File:POTPtoy-Battletrap.jpg|right|thumb|300px|EAGLE!!!]]
*'''Battleslash''' (Legends Class, 2018)
*'''Roadtrap''' (Legends Class, 2018)

:Part of the ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' subline of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'', "Duocon Battletrap" is the combined form of [[Battleslash#Generations|Battleslash]] and [[Roadtrap (Generations)#Generations|Roadtrap]], two separate Legends Class toys that combine into a single roughly Deluxe-sized toy. Both were made available in the second wave of the line.

:Neither of Battletrap's halves come packaged with any weapons. Although his hands feature 5 mm ports, the tab protrusions present on what are made from Battleslash's feet limit his ability to hold things: anything wider than the area above the 5 mm port is unlikely to fit. When combined with the official configuration, Battleslash's rotor is positioned at an angle that can obstruct posing his legs, although this can be remedied by repositioning his arms (or just removing the rotor from its mushroom peg).

:In a nice example of forwards-compatibility, Battleslash or Roadtrap can swap with either of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[Flywheels#War for Cybertron: Siege|Skytread's]] components, which were released in the following line.

:Battletrap's components were first released in Singapore without prior announcement from Hasbro.

==Notes==
*It's often speculated that Battletrap and Flywheels's names were mistakenly swapped during production, as the rollers of tank treads are not generally thought of as wheels. Their names are even swapped in the ''Headmasters'' episode "[[The Master Sword Is in Danger!!]]".
*The head of Battletrap's original [[Floro Dery]]-designed character model sports a [[mouthplate]], unlike the toy. This model was used for all of his [[Marvel Comics]] appearances, but most other fiction portrays him with his mouthplate-lacking toy head.

*'''Megatron''' (Decepticon Leader, 1984/1985)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''16'''
**''Accessories (Hasbro release)'': Silencer, stock, telescopic sight/fusion cannon, "high-density infrared laser cannon"
**''Accessories (Takara release)'': Sword, "high-density infrared laser cannon", 20 bullets
:Released in the first year of the ''Transformers'' toyline, the original Megatron toy began life as the ''[[Microman]]'' figure "Gun Robo - P38", which transforms into an accurate replica of a Walther P-38 pistol. This ''Microman'' figure was available in two forms: a standard version in two color schemes (one grey, one black), and the "Gun Robo - P38 U.N.C.L.E.", outfitted with three distinctive accessories—a scope, a silencer and a stock—that replicate the appearance of the unique, specialized Walther pistol seen in the popular 1960s spy television series ''{{w|The Man from U.N.C.L.E.}}'' <ref>"U.N.C.L.E. Special" Carbine at CIA Museum, [http://web.archive.org/web/20100324191047/https://www.cia.gov/about-cia/cia-museum/spy-fi-archives/item08.html archived version]</ref> It was the "U.N.C.L.E." version, with all of its special accessories, that was released by Hasbro as Megatron. When the figure is in [[robot mode]], the sight doubles as his signature arm-mounted [[fusion cannon]], but can also be combined with the other attachments to form either a "Particle Beam Cannon" weapons emplacement that Megatron can man, or a "Telescopic Laser Cannon" that connects to the figure as an over-shoulder weapons array. The pieces can also form a turret that a ''Microman'' figure can sit on and operate (that's what the tiny handles on Megatron's fusion cannon are for), but this feature was naturally left out of the ''Transformers'' version's instructions. Megatron also came with a chromed silver "high-density infrared laser cannon" that plugs into either of his hands.

:The original ''Microman'' release of the toy that would be Megatron featured a spring-loaded firing mechanism that allowed the toy to shoot ([[for safety reasons|dangerously small]]) plastic bullets one at a time from its barrel. A similar launching mechanism was also built into the stock piece, which could launch the bullets when the accessories were configured into their weapons emplacement mode, or attach to Megatron's hip when in robot mode and launch the bullets through his barrel. As with all missile-firing gimmicks, this feature was removed from the Hasbro release of the toy, though the ports into which the bullets were inserted are still present.

:Megatron has had several variations, reissues and [[redeco]]s released down through the years; this article strives to list each distinct edition of the toy under its own respective series. The earliest variation of the toy came in 1985, when (like all toys originally available in 1984) a factory-applied [[rubsign]] was added to Megatron's right arm while another version had the rub sign on his left hip guard. Then, the following year, when he was no longer a part of the toy assortment sold at retail, Megatron was made available as a mail-away item in the "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]" flier packed in with boxed ''Transformers'' toys. He cost $21.50 and five [[Robot Point]]s. To coincide with the 1986 animated movie release, he was also offered in 'The Autobots Have A Special Mission For...' mail-away pamphlet and came with a special "Movie Edition Certificate" and a round sticker that read " Movie . Edition . Transformer" with the Autobot symbol in the middle. (This item is considered rare.)

:Perhaps the most significant variant of Megatron released in these early years was the version of the figure released by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] in Japan (pictured below). Instead of using the ''Microman'' "U.N.C.L.E." figure as Hasbro had, Takara released the ''standard'' version of the Gun Robo P-38 ''Microman'' figure, in its grey color scheme, which featured flat grey plastic on the chest and arms (where Hasbro's toy was chromed), and blue plastic on the inner arms and legs (where Hasbro's was red). Most notably, like that standard ''Microman'' figure, Takara's Megatron did not come with the stock, silencer and scope accessories (lacking even the attachment point for his cannon on his right arm), but instead came with a silver-chromed sword and retained his original bullet-firing mechanism. Takara's [[package art]] for the figure was an entirely different illustration from the Hasbro version, showing this toy's accessories, but it still erroneously showed the figure with red plastic on its limbs. This coloration was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] by [[e-HOBBY]] for a new character named [[Megaplex]].

:Megatron is probably the most troubled Transformer toy in all of Transformer history, due to being originally Japanese which had different toy laws, he is frequently [[For safety reasons|banned]] due to being a realistic gun while lacking an orange cap to indicate it's not a real gun. Some countries banned it or deemed it illegal due to criminals or kids misusing it as a real gun and terrorizing others, or law enforcement mistaking it for a real firearm and shooting innocent people dead (as has happened multiple times in the past). For you American fans, it may actually be easier to own a ''real'' Walther P-38 handgun than this original Megatron toy.

:In Japan, Megatron was also made available in a special two-pack with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]]. Both toys were identical to their individual releases. In Megatron's case, that means unchromed gray plastic, blue instead of red, and a functional firing mechanism and sword, instead of the scope, silencer and stock. This box also used an altered version of the individual release's box-art, turning his head sideways to face Prime, as opposed to the original's camera-facing head position.

:Megatron was released again as part of a special "Good Bye" set to commemorate his passing ([[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|of sorts]]) in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', packaged with [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]] (who also was now no more). Although it still lacked the chrome seen on the Hasbro version of the toy, this edition of the figure replaced the blue plastic seen on previous Takara releases with Hasbro's show-accurate red, and included the fusion cannon accessory for the first time with a Takara release, complete with the mounting point now added to Megatron's right arm. Though still lacking the silencer and stock, the toy retained its Japanese-exclusive sword accessory and its bullet-firing mechanism, with one modification: The bullets, formerly blue, were now red.

:Despite the change to the toy's colors, the box art on this set, the same art used for the [[Hasbro]] releases, was recolored to match the blue of the ''previous'' releases. Whoops.

[[File:Neutro-fusiontanktoy1.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Uh-oh! Visual interest!]]
:Megatron returned as an ''[[Action Master]]'' in 1990, and as with most ''Action Master'' figures, he could not transform. His sculpt was based heavily upon the character's animation model design. Megatron is compatible with all other Action Master accessories and vehicles.

:He came packaged with the [[Neutro-Fusion Tank]], a large tank vehicle whose hull could transform into a base/gun emplacement, with the turret forming a flight pod. Four "corrosive smoke shell" accessories mounted on both sides of the tank. There are seats for two Action Master figures on the front on either side of the barrel, another seat inside the turret, and four pegs on the back of the tank for standing additional Action Master figures.

:The tank's turret can detach and become a "jet throne," which features flip-out wings, and the body of the tank transforms into a missile-launcher battle station. The battle station has two seats on either side behind the missile launchers (non-firing) and a stowing bay in the center for an additional figure.

:In a fairly notable omission, ''Action Master'' Megatron did not come with the character's iconic fusion cannon accessory. In 1992, however, a Japanese fan sculpted his own cannon accessory, which could plug into the figure's arm using the shoulder screw-hole (seen in the image at right). In a surprising move, Takara gave this cannon their approval and allowed it to be officially sold with their copyright stamp at a Japanese convention {{fact|which one?}} for only one day, at the price of 2000 yen.

: Where the original Takara Megatron toy made use of one of the two color schemes of the original ''Microman'' Gun Robo P38 toy, this redeco of the 2000 reissue Megatron is an homage to the ''second'', black color scheme for the ''Microman'' toy. Available exclusively through e-Hobby and pre-orders at [[BotCon Japan 2000]], "Megatron Black Version" features dark gunmetal chrome, black plastic instead of grey, and distinctive brown gun handle-grips, fists and "inner helmet". The chrome replaces the flat black plastic of the original ''Microman'' toy, which also had blue plastic on its legs and arms that is here supplanted by Megatron's now-traditional red. The toy was limited to 1000 pieces.

: e-Hobby later reissued Megatron Black Version in February 2009, now in [[Collector's Edition]] packaging. This release includes a [[Destron Leader Megatron Black Ver.|mini-comic]] explaining the story behind the redeco.

*'''Megatron''' (Decepticon, 1992)
**''Accessories'': Rifle, 6 missiles, sight

: Owing to Hasbro's [[for safety reasons|inability]] to re-release the original Megatron because that toy was a pistol, ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' instead saw the release of an entirely new Megatron toy in 1992, now as a large green M1A1 Abrams main battle tank. His main gimmick is his gravity-fed cannon, which holds four of his missiles at once (the remaining two can store in clips inside his legs) and can rapidly launch them one after the other. Pulling back on the cannon's tab drops a missile into the firing tube and triggers a "lock and load" sound effect, and pressing the launch button is accompanied by a firing sound effect. In tank mode, pressing a panel on his forward section trigger's the toy's infamous battle cry of '''"Megatron Attack!"''', while pressing down on the tank body while it is on a flat surface activates engine noises.

: In robot mode, Megatron is, by the standards of the time, a very large robot, towering over all ''Generation 2'' incarnations of Optimus Prime. His legs are immobile, but he has upper shoulder rotation and elbow joints; when raised, his left arm triggers an electronic laser sound effect. His cannon and all its sound effects still work in this mode, as does his "Megatron Attack!" sound effect, now triggered by pressing down on the figure's head.

: This sculpt was slightly [[redeco]]ed (with new stickers) as ''[[Beast Wars II (toyline)|Beast Wars II]]'' [[Megastorm]].

: Furthermore, a [[retool]]ed version of the toy's lock-and-load shoulder cannon (or a new sculpt heavily based on it) was used as the main cannon on the [http://www.yojoe.com/sgtsavage/panther.shtml I.R.O.N Panther Tank] in the very short-lived 1995 ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' line ''Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles''.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TRF-2'''
**''Accessories'': Rifle, 2 air-launch missiles

:Megatron was released again the following year as [[Hero (G2)|Hero]] Megatron: a smaller, but similarly styled tank based off the M1 Abrams. This Megatron was purple and came with a bellows that fired an air-propelled missile. Both missiles could be kept on Megatron thanks to clips on his turret, which become his robot mode arms... conveniently kinda simulating the "classic" Megatron arm cannon to boot.

: Hero Megatron was designed with articulation in mind, so he was loaded with multiple swivel and universal joints, giving him far greater movement compared to his original ''Generation 2'' toy. However, it's really just friction that keeps his joints tight and his parts together in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] (no pegs or clips) so after a bit of time and play, he turns pretty floppy. The joints connecting his biceps to his shoulders are also reportedly easy to break due to overly-tight tolerances, so caution is advised.

: This toy was released in Europe, albeit with a "MEGATRON RULES"-free blank chest sticker, as [[Archforce]]. It was also redecoed into [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Bludgeon (RID 2001)|Bludgeon]] (which has since been [[Repurposing|repurposed]] to become "[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]" [[Bludgeon (SG)|Bludgeon]]), and retooled to become [[#reverseconvoy|Reverse Convoy]].

**''Accessories'': Rifle

: Part of the second assortment of [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]], this version of Megatron is a mild [[redeco]] of the Autobot [[Blowout]], transforming into a 1:64-scale Porsche 959 sports car with through-axle construction. This not only makes him roll exceptionally fast in car mode, but also makes him largely compatible with playsets from the "Hot Wheels" and "Matchbox" toy-car lines. Megatron and Blowout share the same blue and black inner robot colors, but Megatron uses opaque silver plastic with a shiny metallic silver paint overcoat, as opposed to Blowout's smoky-clear plastic. (All of the toys from the first wave that had transparent plastics were released in this wave with opaques instead; Blowout and [[Firecracker]] became new versions of Megatron and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#GobotOptimusPrime|Optimus Prime]] respectively, while [[Gearhead]] and [[Motormouth]] stayed themselves.)

: In Japan, his hood was tampographed with a stylized "T" with the ''Transformers'' logo set within the top bar, the same deco that appears on Go-Bots [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] and the Japanese release of Go-Bots Optimus Prime.

: A planned-but-more-or-less-canceled redeco of ''Generation 2'' [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]], this two-pack of Megatron and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#ATB|Starscream]] was only released to test markets in Ohio in very limited quanities, and never saw a wide release. Megatron and Starscream combine to form a "flying wing" Advanced Tactical Bomber, with an under-slung six-missile gatling cannon that can rapid-fire six missiles by twisting the back end. Each wing can store three more missiles, which can "carpet-bomb" targets below by pressing the pressure-launch buttons above each. Removing Starscream from the jet mode triggers an autotransformation mechanism in Megatron's wings, folding them up and starting him on his way to his third mode as a treaded "tank."

: With this release cancelled, the toy was instead made available, with just a few small deco changes, in the ''[[Beast Wars II (toyline)|Beast Wars II]]'' toyline as [[BB]] and [[Starscream (BWII)|Starscream]]. According to the Toy Fair 1995 Transformers presentation, the toy's missiles were intended to glow in the dark, but this feature was not carried over to the ''Beast Wars II'' set.

*'''Optimus Primal VS Megatron''' (Basic Class Two-pack, 1996)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''VS-6'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun/tail

:Early on the life of the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|''Beast Wars'' toyline]], before the debut of the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|''Beast Wars'' cartoon]] (which definitively established ''Beast Wars'' [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] as a separate, distinct character), packaging [[bio]]s and the [[Optimus Primal vs Megatron!|mini-comic]] sold with this first ''Beast Wars'' Megatron figure indicated that he was the same Megatron from Generation 1 and 2. As such, all the Megatron toys released in this early era of the ''Beast Wars'' line are listed here for completeness, representing a [[micro-continuity]] in which Generation 1 Megatron took on these forms.

:The initial version of ''Beast Wars'' Megatron transforms into a green alligator. The toy shares a mold with [[Iguanus (BW)|Iguanus]], sporting different beast and robot mode heads and lacking the lizard's frill (though the screw hole for the frill bracket remains); as the two toys were released at the same time, it is unknown if one is a [[retool]] of the other, or if the mold was designed for both simultaneously. Megatron transforms via a spring-loaded one-step process, and his removable [[beast mode]] tail hides a non-firing blaster cannon that becomes a hand-held weapon for his robot mode.

:This mold was redecoed into the purple Megaligator ([[#CDgator|see below]]), and a different redeco was proposed for the unproduced [[Albitron]]. The Iguanus version of the mold was redecoed into [[Crazybolt (BWN)|Crazybolt]].

: Sharing a mold with his concurrently-released ally [[Megaplex#Toys|Megaplex]] (which had been a canceled mold developed for ''Generation 2''), ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' Megatron transforms from a [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor fighter jet]] to robot mode with a spring-loaded one-step transformation. The two halves of his rifle store in the back of his robot mode legs.

: Oddly, the ''Machine Wars'' stock photos (and even the boxart) portray Megatron as the gray F-22 jet and Megaplex as the blue one, the ''opposite'' of the actual toys. This means that either the package designers made the mistake, or the toys were packaged on the wrong cards. The latter is more likely, since gray is more associated with Megatron than blue. Like most other toys in the line, the boxart was recycled from an earlier figure, in this case from the [[Predator (subgroup)|Predator]] [[Falcon (G1)|Falcon]].

: A diminutive version of Megatron in his Walther P-38 mode was included as a new accessory with the ''Transformers Collection'' release of Starscream. Needless to say, he doesn't transform, but can be held by Starscream in both modes. Megatron's handle disconnects to reveal a peg, which can then be inserted into either of Starscream's fists, which were specifically resculpted for this purpose. Each fist also features a tab on its underside, into which Megatron's handle can be inserted, completing the effect. Megatron can also attach to Starscream's jet mode; the right-hand side of Megatron's handle features a square peg which is designed to fit snugly in gaps in Starscream's pectorals, as in the Generation 1 episode, "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]". Unfortunately, this peg has, for no fathomable reason, been cast in the same sky blue color as Starscream's hands, unnecessarily making it ''as obtrusive as humanly possible''. An additional tabbed right fist for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Optimus Prime]] (complementing his then-upcoming ''Transformers Collection'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers Collection|Convoy]] release) was included as well.

: Megatron's post is compatible with [[5mm post]] fist holes, provided there is sufficient clearance for both the trigger and the back of the gun, and if you don't mind not using the handle.

: Hasbro attempted to include the original Generation 1 Megatron toy in their ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' of reissues, but his realistic-gun-ness posed [[for safety reasons|a challenge]]. In an attempt to convince Toys R Us (the retailer through whom the line was exclusively available) to carry the toy, Hasbro proposed an extensive redeco of the figure, replacing its silver chrome with blue and its grey plastic with bright orange, including the tip of his silencer, in accordance with standard safety measures taken with toy guns. Even this was not enough to convince the chain to release the figure and it was shelved, but the design was shown to fans at [[BotCon 2002]], where it was noted that a potential way to the market the unusually-colored toy would have been to brand it as "Lava Megatron", depicting the Decepticon leader after his dunk in lava at the end of the cartoon episode, "[[Heavy Metal War]]". Fans, however, had another nickname for it that became better known: "Safety Megatron". Notably, this version of the toy would apparently have come with Megatron's Japanese-exclusive sword accessory.

: ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' Megatron was released in the second wave of the diminutive Takara toyline, including only his fusion cannon. Easily the most complex of the ''Smallest Transforming'' figures, Megatron is a just-barely-simplified version of his original Generation 1 toy, possessing the same [[transformation scheme]] and retaining most of his articulation. The transformation step involving sliding his chest upwards away from his hips is extremely difficult and will usually result in the chest popping off; this is fixable.

:Just as ''Smallest Transforming'' Optimus Prime's trailer was released as a separate figure in the line, so too were a set of silencer and stock attachments originally intended to be released for Megatron in the line's third wave. Unfortunately, this wave, and most of the other original figures it was set to contain, was cancelled, and so Megatron was left under-armed.

**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''VSX'''
**''Accessories:'' Fusion cannon/scope

:Available exclusively as a freebie through the September 2004 issue of [[Dengeki Hobby]] magazine, this ''Smallest Transforming Transformers'' two-pack contains both Optimus Prime and Megatron, in homage to the original 1984 "VSX" giftset containing the original versions of the two leaders. While Optimus is unaltered from his original release, Megatron takes the homage a little further, removing the swirled pattern from the original figure's chest and replacing the red plastic with blue to emulate the original Takara version of the full-size Generation 1 figure.

*'''Reverse Convoy''' ([[May 26]], 2005)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RM-24'''
**''Accessories'': "Reverse Blaster", missile

: A [[retool]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Deluxe-sized "Hero Megatron" toy, Rebirth Megatron transforms into a heavily modified blue and tan [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|M1 Abrams tank]]. In addition to a new "[[Reverse Convoy]]" head that flips out of the same compartment as the head on the original version of the mold, the toy features a brand new "Mega Blaster" cannon assembly that houses most of the toy's new features. The Mega Blaster fires a spring-loaded blue missile, and the rear of the cannon can be removed and transformed into the hand-held "Reverse Blaster" weapon, featuring twin barrels and a rack of six (non-removable) missiles. Once the Reverse Blaster is removed, the toy's "Rebirth Megatron" head can be rotated out from the back of the cannon to take the place of Reverse Convoy's head between the figure's shoulders.

: The original version of this mold was use to make [[Archforce]] and [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Bludgeon (RID 2001)|Bludgeon]] (which has been [[Repurposing|repurposed]] to also be ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Bludgeon (SG)|Bludgeon]]). The toy still retains the opening panels on its forearms, despite no longer featuring the large missiles they are designed to store.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2003/2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-1'''
**''Accessories'': Scope, silencer, stock

:''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime included an accessory of Megatron in his classic Walther P-38 altmode. Although non-transforming, it is quite detailed and includes the individually removable silencer / barrel extension, scope, and (hinged) stock. Although notionally [[scale]]d to be wielded by Prime, Megatron is really rather small, so a diagonal sliding joint is added to his handle, allowing it to be lengthened and narrowed enough so that Prime can actually hold it. Both the stock and the sliding butt-end of the handle are made of a soft, rubbery vinyl, compared to the hard plastic of the other pieces. The stock extension connecting clamp is prone to breakage, much to the chagrin of owners who keep theirs sealed and untouched.

:Needless to say, the later-released ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] (and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|his]] [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|redecoes]]) can also hold this version of Megatron, and each include a small round clip that plugs in under their nosecones, allowing them to wield Megatron while in jet mode, as Starscream did in "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]".

:As the ''Masterpiece'' Optimus Prime mold has been has re-released multiple times, so too has Megatron. He was made available again without changes as an accessory for Takara's MP-4, "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp4|Convoy Perfect Edition]]" and MP-1L, "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#lastshot|Convoy Last Production]]", and Hasbro's "[[#20thDVD|DVD Edition]]", but has also been redecoed several times: these distinct new versions of Megatron are listed below.

**''Accessories:'' Fusion cannon, energon mace, energy dagger, laser pistol, [[Kremzeek (G1)|Kremzeek]] figure

: Scaled to the same height as ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime and designed in only twelve days by [[Hisashi Yuki]],<ref name="mpmegsdev">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-masterpiece-47/takaratomy-staff-interview-hisashi-yuki-on-masterpiece-180888/ TakaraTomy Staff Interview - Hisashi Yuki on Masterpiece]: - I hear the first Masterpiece figure you created was MP-5 Megatron and you hold the fastest development record with it.
[Yuki]: That is right. (*laughs) I was not assigned to be in charge of it initially, but due to the circumstance within the company I was unexpectedly handed down the project. The schedule came with it and I was stunned when I realised that I was only given 12 days, about 2 weeks...To make it worse, at the time of my receiving the task, even the product size wasn't decided. (*tears)</ref> ''Masterpiece'' Megatron is an incredibly complex figure—potentially one of, if not ''the'', most complicated ''Transformers'' toys to date—designed to depict a fairly [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] Megatron capable of transforming into a realistic (if oversized) Walther P-38. In achieving this seemingly impossible goal, Megatron winds up with the least articulation of the ''Masterpiece'' line, as well as a notably low percentage of die-cast metal.

: Like Prime before him, Megatron comes with several of his iconic accessories from the Generation 1 cartoon: his energon mace from "More than Meets the Eye, Part 2", the energy dagger and laser pistol used in his duel against Prime in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', and a tiny translucent [[Kremzeek (G1)|Kremzeek]] figure. His fusion cannon also contains a powerful red LED activated when the round detailing on the side of his cannon is pressed. Unfortunately, Megatron lacks the extended-stock and silencer parts to complete his gun mode, leaving him as a standard pistol aside from the mounted-scope made from his Fusion Cannon.

: Due to concern surrounding updated realistic toy gun laws, some online importers modified ''Masterpiece'' Megatron in order to safely get the toy through United States customs. This customarily involved inserting plugs into the tip of the toy's barrel, from rounded red ones affixed by adhesive to [[:File:HLJplug.jpg|flat-tipped yellow ones]] that could be easily removed. Ultimately, there were no reports of problems with the toy making its way into America, but Australia was another matter. Considered a replica gun and therefore a "restricted import" by Australian Customs, both mass shipments and individual packages of the toy were seized, requiring buyers in some areas to obtain a special permit to own him.

: Given the relatively thin clips throughout the toy to hold it tightly together in gun mode, Megatron's plastic components are particularly prone to breakage, especially on the clips on the upper black grip plates and some of the silver sections near the trigger. Many owners of this figure have also reported rust and tarnish problems on what few metal pieces he has; if your Megatron is a sufferer, check out [http://seibertron.com/energonpub/viewtopic.php?t=16106 this guide] for solutions.

A joint has been added to the stock connection point on the handle; for the joint in the stock itself, a straight pin has replaced the original rivet-style pin the softer plastic required. The stock itself no longer emulates the transforming accessory from the G1 toy, and instead features a smaller cylindrical shaft that more closely resembles the original U.N.C.L.E Special.

**''Accessories'': Fusion cannon/scope, stock, silencer, energon mace, jointed chain for mace, angry face, smiling face, neutral face, damaged face, chestplate, damaged chestplate, clone control helmet, energy dagger, laser pistol, [[Key to Vector Sigma]]

:A completely new mold, this second version of Megatron transforms from a more accurate-looking and well-articulated robot mode into a more realistically-sized gun; those extra design goals make this figure's transformation even more challenging than the 2007 figure (and, really, anything else). He comes with the stock and silencer parts for the gun that the MP-5 mold was missing, which can be combined to create both the "telescopic laser cannon" and "particle beam cannon" arrays the pieces were capable of forming on the Generation 1 toy; the stock also transforms into a "flight stand" that can support the figure in mid-air. In addition to his "regular" face, Megatron has alternate angry and smiling faces, plus a fourth, damaged face that, together with an alternate damaged chestplate, replicates his injuries from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. When his face is removed, it exposes a detailed recreation of the interior of his head as it was shown during the "x-ray" sequence in the film, when he was reformatted into Galvatron.

:Like the previous ''Masterpiece'' figure, Megatron comes with the pistol and energy dagger used during his battle with Prime in the movie, and his energon mace from "More than Meets the Eye, Part 2," which this time comes with a jointed plastic chain that allows the weapon to be posed dynamically, in addition to a regular, "real" chain. Finally, he also comes with a diecast Key to Vector Sigma from the [[The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1|two]]-[[The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2|part]] Generation 1 cartoon episode of the same name, and the clone control helmet he wore in "[[A Prime Problem]]."

:Unfortunately, this figure is prone to paint damage on areas that scrape together during transformation. Significant care must be taken when covering the robot face with the chestplate (or you can just take the face off beforehand as a precaution). It is apparently impossible to attach the silencer without scraping some paint off the gun barrel.

:When purchased in some non-Japanese online stores like BigBadToyStore, Megatron comes with an orange plug.
{{note|DAMMIT!}}

:On the other hand, Megatron also comes with a Collector Coin, if bought in Asian countries outside of Japan.

[[File:TitaniumGIJoeHeroesMegatron toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|THE BOX OF DOOM.]]
*'''Megatron''' (6" Cybertron Heroes, 2006)
**''Accessories'': Stand with nameplate

:Part of the very first wave of six-inch ''[[Titanium Series]]'' toys, Megatron was inspired by [[Dreamwave Productions]]' first ''[[Transformers/G.I. Joe]]'' comic book series, set in an alternate-reality World War II. Since the gun mode Megatron sported in that story was nonviable as a toy, this toy features a newly-designed tank alternate mode of made-up model. The backstory of the Megatron from the crossover, including references to Cobra, was retained on the package, make it the first U.S. figure ever produced as part of a ''G.I. Joe / [[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' crossover.

:Although the figure looks somewhat impressive, it notably has the tendency to fall apart during transformation, combined with loose joints, it was relatively difficult to pose in robot mode without it falling over, something that was entirely par for the course when it came to ''Titanium'' figures. It was known for being a shelfwarmer because of its poor quality, poor design, and poor paintjob, with many regarding it as one of the worst–if not ''the'' worst–Transformers toys ever.

Like the original comic book design, his robot mode has a removable arm cannon and shield. In contrast to his previous ''Titanium'' toy, this Megatron has a more posable robot mode, but a fairly unimpressive alternate mode with a transformation that consists of little more than lying the toy on its back and attaching the gun/shield. There is a small clip on the back of the toy which designer [[Don Figueroa]] said was to hold his sword, seen in the comic book, but that accessory was ultimately not produced.

*'''Megatron''' (Voyager Class, 2006)

:After years of tanks and jets, ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Megatron finally found a way to take Megatron back to his root as a transforming gun, complete with a working crosshairs in his scope and a spring-loaded clicking trigger. Described on-package as a "fusion blaster", Megatron's gun mode is apparently based on a [[:File:N-strike maverick.jpg|Nerf N-Strike Maverick blaster]], and decked out in a [[for safety reasons|safety-regulation-friendly]] color scheme consisting of lots of green and purple (in an apparent homage to his old ''Generation 2'' colors), plus bright orange on both the tip of the barrel and the scope. Years later, it would be discovered that, for currently unknown reasons, the bright color of this orange plastic would fade over time, even if not directly exposed to sunlight.

:Early [[stock photography|official Hasbro photographs]], including those appearing on the toy's [[packaging]], show the gun mode's trigger and other small parts as being orange, those parts were gray in later stock photography and the final release. They also depict Megatron with noticeably different "eyebrow" [[paint operation]]s that matched those of the original Megatron toy, consisting of two small black triangles on his gray plastic forehead.

*'''Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle''' (Deluxe Class versus set, 2006)
**''Accessories'': Rifle
: "Ultimate Battle" Megatron evokes his ''Generation 2'' form as a green tank. Like his pack-in partner, who has a spinning "power punch" action, Megatron features a similar "spinning dervish action" gimmick, his right arm ending not in a fist but a bladed polearm which whirls around with the press of a button at his shoulder. At best, it looks silly, but at worst, it comes off easily. He comes with a small rifle with a rather pointless flip-out stock extension. The very tip of his cannon is a detachable piece, and can become lost ''very'' easily.

: Megatron is [[misassembly|misassembled]] in-package, with his feet swapped and attached backwards. Although not immediately noticeable due to the fact that [[:File:MegatronUltimateBattle.jpg|promotional]] and box-art photography also show this misassembly, any attempt to transform Megatron into tank mode immediately demonstrates the mistake, which is easily corrected by unscrewing his lower legs, reversing the foot pieces, and attaching each to the opposite leg (as has been done in the picture at right).

:In the United States, Megatron was only available in a special two-pack with a similarly unique ''Classics'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Optimus Prime toy]], and the specially-produced "[[Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle|The Ultimate Battle]]" DVD (which is, inappropriately enough, entirely about the [[Unicron Trilogy]]). The two-pack (including the DVD) was also available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] "Bonus Value" version with two randomly selected members of the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Giant Planet Mini-Con Team]], in the combinations [[Overcast (Cybertron)|Overcast]]/[[Longarm (Cybertron)|Longarm]], Overcast/[[Deepdive (Cybertron)|Deepdive]] and Deepdive/Longarm. International markets, including European countries, saw the two-pack in a considerably smaller, differently-shaped box that was lacking the DVD case (in the [[United Kingdom]] and the Netherlands, the DVD just came in a paper sleeve; in other European countries, it was instead made available separately). In addition, the two figures were also sold on [[#cardedultbattle|individual cardbacks]] in some countries (see below).

Something of a [[shellformer]], this baffling incarnation of Megatron is primarily black and silver in his alternate mode as a realistic-looking (if notably undersized) Nike Free 7.0 sneaker, complete with gratuitously long real fabric shoelaces (characterized as "electrical discharge cables" in his bio). In robot mode, he sports some additional red paint applications and a somewhat uniquely-shaped yet instantly recognizable Generation 1-inspired head. Also in this mode, Megatron's feet are sculpted in the likeness of his own sneaker mode, making it seem like he's wearing himself!

:His gun splits into two halves and stores inside his [[kibble]] in shoe mode; an undocumented feature, it has two handle pegs on opposite sides, so that it can be held either at its far end or halfway along its length. The gun halves can also be plugged together in two different ways.

:The original Generation 1 Megatron figure was reissued yet again in 2007 as part of TakaraTomy's new line of ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' reissues. Like previous reissues, this Megatron features the Hasbro colors and the accessories from both Hasbro and Takara editions of the figure, with the distinguishing new feature of a tan shade to both his gray plastic and his chrome.

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]] Transformers'' Megatron is a redeco of the ''Classics'' Voyager Class mold. Not bound by the safety regulations that necessitated ''Classics'' Megatron's more colorful appearance, ''Henkei'' Megatron features a significantly different color scheme of black, silver and red designed to make him resemble his original Generation 1 appearance, including translucent red plastic to replicate his classic cartoon "Decepticon red" eyes. All ''Henkei'' toys feature (somewhat randomly-applied) vacuum-metalized chrome parts; in Megatron's case, his chest plate and kneecaps are chromed silver.

:A [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] version of Megatron inspired by [[#Generation 2|his ''Generation 2'' tank design]], although featuring a more realistic shade of green.

:Sadly, because of his transformation, when transformed into tank mode his turret doesn't turn around. Some of Legends Class Megatron's transformation shares several similarities to his Generation 2 toy.

:Although his first stock photography features a slightly long turret, the final product had it shortened.

[[File:Universe2008-toy SEMegatron.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb|"Psst, my cannon shoots Nerf darts."]]
:This "Special Edition" of Megatron is a redeco of the "Ultimate Battle" Megatron from ''Classics'', this time featuring a Generation 1-inspired deco of grays, red and black. This new deco takes advantage of the toy's mould break-up to add a fifth plastic colour (where the original only had four), dividing the parts which were dark grey on the original version between light grey, red and black plastic. Also marking this figure as a particularly "special" edition is the fact that it's the first release of the figure to assemble his feet the correct way around. Amusingly, his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts him as ''missing a part'': his cannon's detachable tip is missing, and the tip of the cannon's stub is painted red to somehow compensate for that.

:Like all the figures in the small Special Edition line, Megatron was designed for Australasian markets and features a bookbox style packaging with black-and-white boxart, retailing at about 150% of the price for a normal deluxe outside of the United States. He was not available at retail in North America, but was for sale on Hasbrotoyshop.com, like the other Special Edition toys. Years later, Hasbro liquidated excess stock of the special edition figures through Marshall's stores and were sold for a fraction of the original prices.

:Oddly enough, this Megatron and the three other Universe Special Edition toys were included in Taiwanese special value packs each containing a [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)/home video|''Revenge of the Fallen'' DVD]].

**''Accessories:'' 2 "tesseractal swords"
:The ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' Megatron toy transforms into a 1:32 scale model of a Nissan 370Z and features die-cast metal parts and rubber tires. The figure wields two "tesseractal swords" which can be pegged at its hips, or stored under the car in vehicle mode. Each forearm features a flip-out "gravital blade."

: In the hyper-dimensional world of the oft-confusing ''Alternity'' fiction, each figure from this line represents a distinct version of a character from a separate [[universal stream]], but which precise Megatron the "Blade Silver" toy embodies has not been disclosed. Upon its initial release, this toy was also available in blue (see below), and later redecoed in a black variant as well. It was later redecoed into ''Alternity'' [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#Alternity|Galvatron]].

:[[:File:Alternity Megatron Cannon.jpg|Early concepts]] for ''Alternity'' showed him with the trademark fusion cannon rather than his twin swords, as well as a pronounced Decepticon [[insignia]] on his chest.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' product, "Cybertron Mode" Megatron is a [[redeco]] of the Deluxe Class [[Megatron (WFC)/toys#Generations|''War for Cybertron'' Megatron toy]], transforming into a Cybertronian self-propelled gun. The treads of his vehicle can be positioned in either a vertical configuration like a traditional tank or in a horizontal, hovertank configuration. Megatron's spring-loaded cannon can attach to either arm.

:Megatron is cast in a deep dark metallic gray plastic rather than the light gray plastic of the Hasbro version. He also features a blood red metallic paint instead of the more traditional red used on the Hasbro version. Other notable differences include the Decepticon symbol upon his chest as well as lacking paint on the sliding mechanism within his fusion cannon.

:Part of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' line's]] "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[subline imprint]], this toy is based on Megatron's Generation 1 cartoon appearance (with a little inspiration from [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s ''[[The Transformers: All Hail Megatron|All Hail Megatron]]'' design around the abdomen), transforming into a variation on Megatron's original gun mode (referred to as a "blaster" on Hasbro's website). As he was part of Reveal the Shield, he has a [[rubsign]] on his chest.

[[File:MP Acid Storm-Chronicle gun Megatron-Pull My Trigger.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.85|To hell with safety!]]
:In a fit of complete awesomeness, the figure is sculpted with notches in its handle that specifically allow the ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] mold to grip it. Additionally, the slightly thicker portion of the barrel closer to the main body can be held by the clip included with ''Masterpiece'' Starscream and attach to his jet mode. Unfortunately, Megatron can only be held vertically.

:Despite his tiny size, Hasbro had to cast much of the gun (his arms, the barrel/fusion cannon, and the upper half of his torso) in orange plastic [[for safety reasons]] (Not helped to the fact that there are [https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-tiniest-cutest-guns-that-shoot-real-bullets-1683682859 functional small guns exist]). Official Hasbro [[stock photography|stock photos]] and early [[prototype|samples]] from China had the orange plastic on the barrel fully painted over in gray, yet the final toy leaves the end of the barrel unpainted.

: While the large brick-built Megatron in this ''[[Kre-O]]'' set is based on the [[Megatron (Movie)|live-action film Megatron]] in his ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' body, the accompanying Megatron [[Kreon]] is very much a Generation 1 Megatron, at least from the neck down.

: Part of the first assortment of "Custom Kreons", this version of Megatron 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, and his plastics have a slight metal-flake sheen. His "normal" helmet and arm cannon are [[Vacuum metallizing|chromed]], plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms and a wing-pack (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), plus a buildable bazooka, a small pistol (originally [[Cobra Commander]]'s from the ''Kre-O [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' series), a claw-attachment for his wrists, and a double-headed staff weapon.

: The cross-sell advertisement from the back of the packaging features a bizarre error: [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Custom|Soundwave]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Custom|Starscream]] are mislabeled. Soundwave is labeled as Starscream, while Starscream is labeled as Megatron.

:He was only available in a pack of 30 Kreons dubbed the "Kreon Class of 1984". This set was made for sale at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014. Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, only there ''was'' no remaining stock after the show.

He also features entirely new face and chest tampographs. So version number four of the same base design.

: The set comes with two bags of Kre-O parts, one coming from the [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Kre-O|first-year Starscream kit]] (mostly all the small bits and landing gear), the other "new" with some basic bricks and plates. The set has no instructions, as it's just a box of bricks to make whatever with.

**''Accessories:'' {{w|Katana}}, {{w|:Wakizashi|tanto}}
: ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Megatron is an Asian market and Toys"R"Us-exclusive redeco/retool of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen:]] [[N.E.S.T. Global Alliance]]'' Voyager Class [[Bludgeon (ROTF)#Voyager|Bludgeon]], sporting a new, smiling head. Megatron transforms from a Japanese {{w|Type 90 Kyū-maru|Type 90}} tank into a samurai-esque robot mode. He features a flexible plastic sword which is made out of a portion of the barrel of the tank's main gun, as well as a smaller dagger. The dagger can be stored in a sheath which is revealed from inside the tank turret, and both blades can be slotted in holes provided on the robot mode's left hip guard. The larger sword has a peghole at the bottom of the hilt; though it is specifically designed to allow the dagger's handle to fit in the base to form a double-bladed weapon, it can also fit any other accessory that uses [[5mm post]]s. The post used to combine the swords remains unobstructed in vehicle mode, meaning you can attach the dagger to the end of Megatron's main tank cannon if you're feeling silly. He also has [[Mech Alive]] [[gimmick]]s in his thighs and turret: sculpted cylinders in his thighs rotate whenever his lower legs are rotated, and pulling his turret open makes a sculpted white "disc" at the center rotate while a scabbard for the tantō hinges over to the side and props itself up for use.

:The vehicle mode is one of the very few Transformer tank toys with rubber components to its treads. Portions of the tread links can unlock, allowing them to hang from the robot mode, while the wheels of the treads are integrated separately into the robot mode form itself. The treads still do not function realistically; small plastic wheels on the underside of the treads help the tank mode roll, as is standard with nearly all Transformer tank toys. On the plus side, the tank turret can be rotated a full three-hundred sixty degrees, as can the purple machine gun that sits atop the turret.

:Unlike the other uses of this mold, Megatron comes [[Packaging|packaged]] in robot mode holding his swords, with additional plastic and paper ties in the tray imperfectly holding his swords in position. Because they were packaged this way since they were shipped out of the factory, most Megatrons come with the swords being badly bent and warped ''in the box''. Fortunately, the swords' blades can be ''mostly'' straightened by leaving them sheathed in their hidden scabbards. Straightening their ''hilts'' is a different matter, though.

:This toy suddenly popped up for ''preorder'' at BigBadToyStore in mid-2015, ''three whole years'' after its original release.

: This version of the mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' [[#Cloud|Megatron]], while the original version was redecoed into ''Transformers: [[Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' [[Banzaitron (TF 2010)|Banzaitron]], and differently retooled to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Overlord (Masterforce)#Timelines|Gigatron]].

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

*'''Megatron''' (Leader Class, 2015)
**''Accessories'': Two guns (combine to form rifle), missile

:Part of the first wave of 2015 ''Generations [[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Leader Class toys, Megatron transforms from a robot heavily inspired by his Generation 1 animation model into a tank featuring working treads. He includes a sticker sheet featuring two each of Decepticon and Autobot [[insignia]] (the latter in reference to IDW's ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]''), plus stickers intended to replicate those on the original Megatron toy's chest and fusion cannon. Megatron also comes packaged with a collector's card featuring art from the initial release of the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game. His box-back bio bears a superficial similarity to our wiki's article on [[Megatron (WFC)|another Megatron]]. He features a spark chamber hatch which is sculpted in likeness to the one seen in "[[Master Blaster]]". In a feature that goes undocumented in Megatron's instructions, his two guns can store underneath the rear of his alternate mode. Although the website description & the package billed the transformation as "15 steps", the toy actually has ''10'' steps.

:Although the toy is depicted in robot mode shots as positioning the cannon with the missile-firing tip forward, it can be flipped around on a pinned swivel to better resemble the classic-styled fusion cannon, although this causes some clearance issues with the arm itself due to the fact the pinned swivel means the cannon cannot be physically removed. Megatron's knee articulation is also greatly restricted, which combined with his lack of ankle joints can make getting him to stand up quite difficult, let alone posing him.

:Select aspects of this design, such as the leg-mounted treads, the general transformation sequence and the tank alt-mode, were used to represent G1 Megatron in ''[[Transformers: Devastation]]''. The toy meanwhile was retooled into [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Generations|''Armada'' Megatron]], which was released at the same time.

**''Accessories'': Pretender Shell, Sword for Pretender Shell, Rifle for Pretender Shell, [[Spacewarp#Generations|Spacewarp]] Mini-Con, Joint piece for Spacewarp

:Released as a part of the [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service#5.0 (2016)|Figure Subscription Service 5.0]], Megatron is a redeco of his [[#Thrilling 30|Legends Class toy]], with his coloration based on his canceled ''Generation 2'' [[#CombatHero|"arctic-camo" Combat Hero Megatron toy]]. He also comes with [[Spacewarp#Generations|Spacewarp]] (a redeco of [[Blast Master#Generations|''Generations'' Payload]]) and his Pretender shell, which is redecoed from [[Grand Maximus#Super-God Masterforce|Grand Maximus]]'s. Double Pretender Megatron also comes with a joint piece for Spacewarp to let her fit in the shell along with Megatron. This joint piece is sculpted to resemble the large chromed laser cannon that the original G1 Megatron toy came with. His Pretender shell weapons are black repaints of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Sentinel Prime (G1)#Generations|Sentinel Prime's rifle]] and Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#TitansReturnVoyager|Optimus Prime's sword]].

:Megatron and Spacewarp were released alongside [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#DoublePretender|Double Pretender Optimus Prime]] and [[Hi-Q#Combiner Wars|Hi-Q]].

:Part of the first and only assortment of ''Generations'' Cyber Series figures, Megatron is a Voyager-sized figure and transforms into a futuristic tank with a [[transformation|transformation scheme]] that borrows much of its engineering from the [[#Universe (2008)|''Universe'' G2 Legends Class Megatron]] from 2008 though does have some unique steps. His large fusion cannon can be held in his fist or mounted on his arm as any classic representation of Megatron would.

*'''Doomshot & Megatron''' (Voyager Class, 2016)
**''Accessories'': Fusion Cannon, Rifle, Doomshot Titan Master

:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Megatron is a new mold which transforms from robot to tank to plane reminiscent of his [[#Machine Wars|''Machine Wars'' counterpart]] and back. Megatron comes with [[Doomshot#Generations|Doomshot]], a [[Titan Master]] who becomes his head. The G1 toy-accurate 'scrollwork' details on his chest and all Decepticon insignias (on his robot mode chest, jet nosecone, and tank tread cowling) are chrome-backed, factory-applied, low-quality stickers which are notoriously prone to peeling off at the slightest disturbance. As their chrome-backed nature clashes heavily with Megatron's otherwise unpainted torso, replacing them is recommended. His wing stickers are similarly metallic, but appear to adhere better and clash less with the figure's overall aesthetic.

:The fusion cannon is shown in stock renders to be solid black, while the final one is light grey plastic dipped in black paint with the posts left bare. His dark-grey plastic is nowhere near as dark as the stock renders shows, though it is still darker than the light-grey plastic.

:Like all Voyager Class ''Titans Return'' figures, he has a pair of pop-up parts to fill in the area around his head; in this case, a pair of missile racks. However, those parts heavily restrict his neck articulation when deployed; unlike many others in his size class, his chest does not contain a pivoting assembly for better range of movement. Due to the nature of his transformation, it is possible to transform Megatron into tank mode without removing his head.

:His fusion cannon can plug into the short barrel of the tank turret or the rifle/Titan Master vehicle weapon. In an undocumented additional feature, the rifle can be inserted into the front end of the fusion cannon. The fusion cannon can be mounted on his forearm or held by any figure with 5mm hands. It also has a peg hole that an accessory such as his rifle can plug into, with extra square peg holes specifically to hold the rifle in place.

:The instructions for robot-to-tank transformation suggest that you move his robot mode chestplate downwards into the collapsed jet position. It appears to have a clearance issue, with the chest protruding too far; leaving it in robot mode position will ensure there are no clearance issues. However, the chest ''can'' be made to fit better by putting it into position before transforming the treads, preventing the tread panels from getting in the way. Also in some copies of the toy, Megatron's left and right leg panels will randomly pop and stick out. This is especially prominent in tank and jet mode.

:Unsurprisingly, this mold was retooled into [[Blitzwing (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Blitzwing]], and redecoed into ''[[Street Fighter II × Transformers]]'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Street Fighter II × Transformers|Megatron]] <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Vega#Toys|Vega]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>. Megatron would have been redecoed/retooled into [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]] with a new Titan Master face for Doomshot as part of the "Action on Hydrus Four" boxset for BotCon 2017 that never came to be.

===Platinum Edition===
[[File:TF-Platinum-Edition-OsS-OsF-Megatron.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|An official Red Ryder carbine-action, two-hundred-shot range-model air rifle.]]
*'''One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall''' (2-pack, 2016)
:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', this Megatron is another redeco of the ''Classics'' Voyager toy. Megatron features a new and significantly different deco for the sake of [[for safety reasons|gun safety laws]]. The sides of his gun mode are entirely cast in clear red plastic, his arms are a different shade of red plastic and there is red paint on the legs as well–in addition to the bright orange parts on both the tip of the barrel and the scope, just like the ''Classics'' figure. Whether by design or by accident, his deco strongly resembles the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive [[Nerf]] "[http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic_FIRE Sonic Fire]" color scheme.

:''Platinum Edition'' Megatron was only available as part of a 2-pack with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#StandFall|Optimus Prime]], named "One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall" after Prime's famous line in the movie. In the United States and Canada, this set was officially released as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive. It was also available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely the Philippines and Singapore; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Australia, it was sold at Myer stores, whereas in the United Kingdom, it was both sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and available via Tesco's website (but never found in stores). Surprisingly, it was (and still is) a common find in Brazilian online stores.

**''ID number:'' '''WFC-S12'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SG-13'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[March 30]], [[2019]]'''
**''Accessories:'' "D50-R35 Fusion Cannon," "HPR Telescopic Laserstrike Launcher" (combines to form "NFM Particle Beam Megalauncher")
:''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'' Megatron transforms from a G1 cartoon-esque robot to a <s>Grizzly battle tank from the ''Command & Conquer'' series</s> Cybertronian tank and back! He is armed with 2 weapons compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], one of which is his trademark [[fusion cannon]] called the "D50-R35 Fusion Cannon." The other is the "HPR Telescopic Laserstrike Launcher," with two symmetrical blades facing the opposite direction, and can transform into a large sword resembling the sword included in the Takara release of the [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Generation 1|original G1 toy]] and can be stored on his back. It can also be mounted on his back to resemble the gun barrel on the original cartoon model's back. Both can combine into the insanely large "NFM Particle Beam Megalauncher," which is meant to be held in his hands or over his head. Like his contemporaries in the ''Siege'' toyline, Megatron features 'battle damage' paint applications all over his head, chest, arms, and legs.

:Megatron also suffers a slight design flaw: Unlike the left leg, His right leg's pivoting joint had a tendency for not locking back to its straight position once it was unlocked. The only way to amend this is by removing the right foot, then adjust the joint piece back before reattaching the foot. Sometimes, the light grey backpack/central front tank kibble also had a tendency to dislodge if his waist is moved left or right. Due to the Fusion Cannon's slightly longer post, the hand's dorsal/panel slightly protrudes out if retracted in tank mode.

:There is a message written in [[Cybertronian language|Cybertronian letters]] on Megatron's box art, which reads "RISE FROM THE SHADOWS". Megatron's pose in the instruction manual's front cover is based on the [[:File:Megatronguido.jpg|promotional artwork]] by [[Guido Guidi]].

:Amusingly, the first TakaraTomy (and later, Hasbro's secondary) stock photos of his robot mode depict him wielding the fusion cannon like a handheld weapon.

: This mold was also used, with different heads and accessories, to make the other ''Transformers GT'' toys: [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#GT|GT-R Prime]], [[Star Saber (Victory)#GT|GT-R Saber]], and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#GT|GT-R Maximus]].

:Calvin Johnson Megatron was available with the purchase of {{w|Nike, Inc.|Nike}}'s CJ81 Megatron Trainer Max, inspired by American football player {{w|Calvin Johnson}}, who is [[Megatron (human)|nicknamed]] after the Decepticon leader. A redeco of his ''Generations Thrilling 30'' Deluxe Class toy, Megatron transforms from robot to stealth bomber, with his wings detaching to form a fusion cannon in robot mode. He features Johnson's signature printed on his chest, and also includes an American football accessory redecoed from the one included with Red Dog in the 2011 ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' "Slaughter's Marauders Battle Set" which Megatron is totally incapable of actually holding, though since the ball has a divot carved in one side it can be neatly pegged onto the two prongs on the ends of his forearms- though it's certainly not intended to.{{-}}

:The Calvin Johnson Megatron figure was also available in the "Megatron Rising 3-Pack", which includes three pairs of Megatron-themed shoes: the Nike CJ81 Megatron Trainer Max, the Megatron Nike Air Trainer SC II, and the Nike CJ81 Megatron Elite TD Cleat, the last of which is exclusive to the pack. The pack was limited to 81 pieces, in reference to Johnson's shirt number, and available only from Nike's 21 Mercer Street store in [[New York City]], select Nike Yardline stores, and Nike.com.{{-}}

*'''Megatron''' (Elite Class, 2013)
: Megatron transforms into a wheeled tank-like vehicle. He includes the same parts as the Ultimate Class figure however his armor is translucent purple plastic and he features numerous paint differences. He includes giant red swords, blasters, and a projectile-launching gun.
{{-}}

[[File:ConstructBots 2pack Megatron.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Optimus Prime vs Megatron''' (Ultimate Class, 2013)
: Megatron's Elite Class toy was packed alongside his eternal nemesis [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Construct-Bots|Optimus Prime]]. This version is identical to his Elite-Class single release in construction, but this version features a more Generation 1-based paint scheme. He retains the gimmickry of the Elite-Class version but also includes a myriad of extra parts; enough to switch his alternate form from a tank to a jet if one were so inclined.

:Megatron's blaster was later redeco/reused for [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Construct-Bots|Thundercracker]] and one of ''Timelines'' [[Oilmaster#Timelines|Oilmaster]]'s weapons.

: Part of the first wave of battle upgrade Hero Mashers toys, Megatron is a non-transforming robot who is chock full of weaponry. He includes an Energon flail, a ''massive'' projectile launching fusion cannon, and a backpack with removable missile packs. His parts can be removed and swapped out with any other Hero Mashers toy.

:He also includes [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Skywarp]]'s arm which is a repaint of [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Starscream]]'s.

*'''Megatron''' ([[May 29]], [[2014]])
**''ID number:'' '''TFC-D01'''
**''Accessories:'' "Fusion Blade" sword, "Deception Sword" dagger

: Megatron is a silver, red and black [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Voyager Class [[Megatron (G1)/toys#GenerationsVoyager|Megatron]], itself a [[retool]] of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen:]] [[N.E.S.T. Global Alliance]]'' Voyager Class [[Bludgeon (ROTF)#Voyager|Bludgeon]] with a new head. He transforms from a Japanese {{w|Type 90 Kyū-maru|Type 90}} tank into a samurai-esque robot mode and features a flexible plastic sword which is made out of a portion of the barrel of the tank's main gun, as well as a smaller dagger. The dagger can be stored in a sheath which is revealed from inside the tank turret, and both blades can be slotted in holes provided on the robot mode's left hip guard. Additionally, the dagger's handle can fit in the base of the sword's handle, forming a double-bladed weapon. He has [[Mech Alive]] [[gimmick]]s in his thighs and turret: sculpted cylinders in his thighs rotate whenever his lower legs are rotated, and pulling his turret open makes a sculpted white "disc" at the center rotate while a scabbard for the dagger hinges over to the side and props itself up for use.

: The vehicle mode is one of the very few Transformer tank toys with rubber components to its treads. Portions of the tread links can unlock, allowing them to hang from the robot mode, while the wheels of the treads are integrated separately into the robot mode form itself. The treads still do not function realistically; small plastic wheels on the underside of the treads help the tank mode roll, as is standard with nearly all Transformer tank toys.

: Megatron was available exclusively through [[e-HOBBY]].

: The original version of this mold was redecoed into ''Transformers: [[Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' [[Banzaitron (TF 2010)|Banzaitron]], and it was differently retooled to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Overlord (Masterforce)#Timelines|Gigatron]].

: This mold, with a different head sculpt, was also used for the simultaneously released Bearbrick [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Bearbrick|G1 Optimus Prime]] and later released [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Bearbrick|''Age of Extinction'' Optimus Prime]], and was further retooled into [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Bearbrick|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Bearbrick|Starscream]].

Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is taken from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Megatron/Chop Shop two-pack's packaging and half-heartedly recolored–ignoring the black and yellow safety striping from the design the art was originally made for–to match the broad strokes of this figure's deco.

:In the United States, Megatron has thus far been found at Big Lots and Family Dollar stores. In Australia, he is available at general retail again, just the previous [[wave]] of Legion Class figures; whereas in Europe, the wave that contains Megatron in other markets is available at general retail, but lacking Megatron for unknown reasons.

: Released under the "TakaraTomy Arts" banner alongside a [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Optimus Prime featuring Original PlayStation|Sony PlayStation version of Optimus Prime]] and outside of any other toyline, Mega Drive Megatron transforms from robot to a scaled-down Japanese [[Sega]] {{w|Sega Genesis|Mega Drive}} video game console–which ironically is about the size of a real-life Mega Drive cartridge. He comes with a gamepad that features pushable buttons which splits in two and attaches to his back like a pair of wings, while the left side of the console detaches and transforms into an arm-mounted cannon attached to his back via the gamepad's cord. He also includes a cartridge depicting the Japanese release of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' that slots into the console/his chest.

: This figure includes what is most likely the smallest accessory to ever be included with a Transformers toy; a small cap that covers the hole left if one does not insert the gamepad into the console mode. The piece is sculpted to resemble an open slot for a gamepad and is a teensy bit ''smaller'' than even the fist parts for a ''Smallest Transforming Transformers'' [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]].

: Sega Genesis Megatron is a redeco and slight retool of Mega Drive Megatron in the form of its North American release, the Sega Genesis. In addition to the changes to the console, the red on Megatron's robot mode has been replaced with purple, and the art on the ''Sonic'' cartridge has been changed to match its American release. Even the packaging is changed to evoke Genesis packaging, right down to featuring (awkwardly translated) English text on the back. This version of Megatron is a TakaraTomy Arts online store exclusive.

: Curiously, the promotional pictures of Sega Genesis Megatron appear to show the retooled "16-Bit" panel molded to read "1'''5'''-Bit", but the final release has it correctly molded.

:The INFOBAR figures celebrate 15 years since the 2002 au Design Project that resulted in the INFOBAR cellphone, as well as the 10th anniversary of the [[Live-action film series|live-action films]]. He transforms into a (non-functional) scaled-down replica of the 2002 au INFOBAR, and in lieu of cellphone functions, the figure can be paired via Bluetooth with a smartphone, such as an iPhone, to act as a notification alarm in either robot or INFOBAR mode. The screen is also non-functional, but pre-printed cards are included which can be slid into the screen to show an Autobot logo, Decepticon logo, a mockup of a cellphone home screen, or a technical "Transformers INFOBAR" design.

He changes from an [[evergreen]]-inspired robot into a tank in just six steps, and he comes with a tank barrel that doubles as his fusion cannon, and he features two 5mm-compatible hands, and his head is made out of a slightly soft, rubbery plastic. Like [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Authentics|Starscream]], he actually possesses elbows. And like all ''Authentics'' toys, Megatron features sculpted insignias, notably on the chest and the right sole.

:Unfortunately, Megatron does not have any functional small wheels on his painted treads, making them prone to chipping while attempting to roll him forward. Also; the forearms and the cannon's posts are ''not'' 5mm/3mm compatible.

*'''Convoy [Ryu] vs Megatron [Vega]''' ([[May 26]], [[2018]])
**''Accessories'': Cannon, rifle, Headmaster
:Part of the Japan-exclusive ''[[Street Fighter II × Transformers]]'' toyline, Megatron is a redeco of ''Titans Return'' Voyager Class [[#Titans Return|Megatron]] in [[Vega]]'s traditional colors, fleshy bits and all. He transforms from robot to tank to fighter jet (both of made-up model), complete with Shadaloo [[insignia]]. The smaller [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] unit's robot mode is also painted to resemble Vega.

:Like all Voyager Class ''Titans Return'' figures, he has a pair of pop-up parts to fill in the area around his head; in this case, a pair of missile racks. However, those parts heavily restrict his neck articulation when deployed; unlike many others in his size class, his chest does not contain a pivoting assembly for better range of movement. Due to the nature of his transformation, it is possible to transform Vega into tank mode without removing his head.

:His cannon can plug into the short barrel of the tank turret or the rifle/Headmaster vehicle weapon. In an undocumented additional feature, the rifle can be inserted into the front end of the cannon. The cannon can be mounted on his forearm or held by any figure with 5mm hands. It also has a peg hole that an accessory such as his rifle can plug into, with extra square peg holes specifically to hold the rifle in place.

:Vega was only available in a two-pack with with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Street Fighter II × Transformers|Convoy]] <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Ryu#Toys|Ryu]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>. This set was available for pre-order on [[TakaraTomy Mall]] from [[November 22]] to [[November 27|27]], with orders fulfilled in late May 2018. A pre-order goal was set as well: if 3000 units were pre-ordered total, the set would also come with clear display stands for both toys.

[[File:UnmadeVideoCameraMegatron.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85]]
*To date, an exact copy of the black ''[[Microman]]'' ''[[Micro Change]]'' Walther P-38 toy has not been reissued as a Transformer–the e-HOBBY version replaced the blue plastic with red and some of the black plastic parts with silver chrome.
*It seems that no one could get Megatron's [[package art]] right in Japan. His standard release used edited box art from the standard Microchange P-38 toy's black deco, recolored to Megatron's US toy color scheme with shiny "chrome" and red on his legs and arms instead of the Japanese toy's flat gray and blue. The VS-X art replaced the red with blue, but kept the "chrome". The art on the "Goodbye Megatron" set used edited US box art (which in turn was the Microchange P-38 UNCLE art with an added sigil) that replaced the red with blue, yet this toy used red plastic.
*In a possible fit of madness, a triple changer was proposed that would switch between [[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Skywarp]] (possibly mistaken for Starscream), Megatron, and Skywarp's jet mode.
*In a slightly more sane attempt, [[:File:Megalvatron.jpg|another triple changer]] was proposed which would switch between Megatron, a very awkward [[Galvatron (G1)/toys|Galvatron]], and a Walther P-38 handgun with a futuristic silencer and laser sight.
*A kitbashed/hand-painted mock-up of the large ''Generation 2'' tank Megatron mold as a video camcorder is known to exist. Whether it was ever meant to be taken into production and whether it was meant to be Megatron or a new character is unknown. It was originally offered for sale in [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/browse_thread/thread/4f98fe3d58bfe696/b1d0163d38587281?q=ramjet+whiz+bang+toys&pli=1 October of 2000] from Whiz Bang Collectibles, along with other items seemingly from a former Hasbro employee's collection.<ref>[http://www.toyarchive.com/Transformers/Prototypes/Generation2/MegatronVideoCameraMock1.html Megatron Video Camera at Toyarchive.com]</ref>

MediaWiki talk:Captions

2019-02-18T02:36:47Z

Awsm57: /* Captions we're tired of */

==Blank captions==
It seems there is a subgroup of anons and others whose primary or only contribution is adding captions to images that don't have any. This might seem harmless enough, but it bugs me nonetheless. If humorous captions are a reward of sorts for hard-working editors, then anons who add nothing else shouldn't be taking away the fodder for that reward.

To that end, I'd propose to all image-adding editors that if you have nothing "funny" to say, then say something informative. An informative caption doesn't have to be "this picture is a picture that is of Megatron"; it can state that this is "The box art painting of Megatron from his original 1984 Generation 1 toy". Maybe it's a little vengeful of me, but I'd rather see that as a placeholder till a regular contributor adds something genuinely worthwhile, instead of whatever some random anon thinks up in five seconds because they're convinced that this gaping void must be filled. -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 18:55, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

:I'm down with that. --[[User:M_Sipher|M_Sipher]] 20:03, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

==Captions without images==
In line with captions being a "reward" of sorts, I think whoever went to the trouble to upload an image get first crack at the caption. There are a couple of [[Transformers Animated (Titan)|captions]] despite not having [[Animated Comic issue 1|images]] yet, which in my opinion is just not cricket. Thoughts? -- [[User:Magnus Maximus|Magnus Maximus]] 02:35, 4 November 2008 (EST)

::I think that goes without saying, whomever uploads the image gets first go to caption it (unless their caption is deemed to be stupid or offensive or some other reason). --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 15:33, 14 March 2009 (EDT)

==I don't get this==
This "rule" seems pretty pointless to me. It's fun to add amusing captions - so what if you haven't anything "serious" already? Can anyone explain this rule better than on this project page? To be honest, it seems petty - but I'm willing to be proved wrong. --[[User:Grimlockius Prime|Grimlockius Prime]] 05:20, 14 March 2009 (EDT)

:It is petty - if you're not part of the Very Special Group, you're not funny.[[Special:Contributions/24.151.189.19|24.151.189.19]] 21:29, 17 December 2009 (EST)
::You don't like the rules, don't play in the sandbox. [[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 21:46, 17 December 2009 (EST)

:Because the main point of this wiki isn't to crack jokes, the main point of this wiki is to provide information about Transformers. People who are contributing useful information use the image captions and similar methods as a ''perk/bonus'' to make their work fun to edit and read, not as an end in and of itself.
:So if you change a caption, you're ruining someone else's "reward" for adding information, and if you're doing nothing but adding jokes, than you're not contributing anything worthwhile that furthers the wiki's actual purpose. Humor is secondary. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 05:57, 14 March 2009 (EDT)
::Thanks for the reply. I appreciate that someone changing another's caption is infringing on a "perk", but I don't think this is a perk. The perk is getting your text on the wiki and providing quality information. And secondly, if you can provide a funnier joke (and so far I can't), then why not? Everyone benefits. --[[User:Grimlockius Prime|Grimlockius Prime]] 14:22, 14 March 2009 (EDT)

I'd like to add the "And then all the other toys on this page were thrown away" captions to the list of captions we're sick of.

Is it just Galvatron in specific, or is linking the word "crazy" to anyone's article considered poor form?

'''Springer''' tends to suffer from the difficulty of engineering a fully-functional triple-changing toy.

{{TOCclear}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[File:SpringerG1Toy.JPG|thumb|Three totally different modes]]
*'''Springer''' (1986/1991)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-84'''
**''Accessories'': "Light saber" rotor blade, "laser" rifle

:Springer was one of three Autobot [[Triple Changer]]s. He transforms from a robot to a futuristic armored car to a helicopter that doesn't look terribly different from the car. In [[robot mode]], his articulation is limited entirely to his arms. His copter rotor blades snap together to form a [[sword]].

:Very early releases of Springer had a [[die-cast]] metal chestplate which was then changed to plastic in subsequent releases. When he was released in the European [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] line in 1991, he retained the plastic chest.

===Timelines===
[[File:Springerbotcontoy.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|Suffers from vestigial JaAm cravings.]]
*'''Springer''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Sword, silver-bordered green [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]-style Autobot [[Cyber Key]]

:Sold together in a bag with [[Huffer (G1)#Timelines|Huffer]] and their instructions, keys, and bio cards, ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' Springer is a ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''-themed [[BotCon 2007]] attendee exclusive. A paint-heavy green and grey [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#CyCDF|Cybertron Defense Hot Shot]], Springer transforms into a modified {{w|M1117 Armored Security Vehicle|M1117 Guardian Armored Security Vehicle}}. When Springer's Cyber Key is inserted into the back of the turret, the two gun barrels open up into dual (non-firing) missile launchers. Compartments on his shoulders and his thighs can also open up to reveal additional missile launchers. He also comes with a dagger that stows between his legs and sort-of acts as an exhaust pipe in vehicle mode; when he's in robot mode, the dagger can be hand-held via [[5mm post]], pegged into the front of his fist, or stored in a sheath on his leg. The same sheath can be used to store his Cyber Key in vehicle mode.

:Springer is assembled differently from the other uses of this mold. The panels covering the missile racks on each shoulder are swapped, finally following the assembly shown in the [[instructions]].

:The mold was later used as ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Roadbuster (G1)#Universe (2008)|Roadbuster]] in the [[Target]]-[[exclusive]] Autobot Ambush Comic 2-Pack. It also served as the basis of the non-toy ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Hardhead (BWN)|Hard Head]].

===Universe (2008)===
[[File:Universe2008 Springer comicpack toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Whatever happened to the whole Triple Changer angle? And no, [[attack mode]]s don't count.]]
*'''Standoff Beneath the Streets''' (Voyager-Deluxe Comic two-pack, 2008)
**''Series'': '''War Within Series'''
**''Accessories'': Two "plasma rockets", "spinning [[energon]] blades"/rotor blades, Autobot [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]-style [[Cyber Key]]

:A Target-exclusive redeco of ''Cybertron'' [[Evac (Cybertron)#Voyager|Evac]], ''Universe'' Springer transforms into a [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Eurocopter Dauphin|Eurocopter Dauphin rescue helicopter]]. His "energon blades"/rotor blades spin using a geared push-button, and become a spinning-blade weapon mounted on his robot mode's left arm. He has an [[Retractable string gimmick|adjustable winch]], which retracts with the push of a button: this gimmick ends up on his right robot mode arm. Inserting a Cyber Key into his back end (backpack in robot mode) swings around a pair of spring-loaded "plasma rocket launchers"/[[missile]] launchers. His (conveniently color-coded) red Cyber Key is unpainted, save for its silver Autobot symbol. He was available only with [[Ratbat (G1)#Universe (2008)|Ratbat]].

:His [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] has both of his modes flipped.

:Packaging Springer with Ratbat is an [[homage]] to their rivalry in ''[[Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages|The Dark Ages]]''. Likewise, Springer's deco is directly inspired by his color layout in ''The Dark Ages'', down to the blue "cockpit" painted on his chest, and that he does not have three modes (yet). This connection is further enhanced by having Ratbat possess a humanoid robot mode and jet-like altmode. See [[#Dreamwave Generation One continuity|above]].

:In its first release in Canada, the set did not include a comic (in spite of the ''INCLUDES COMIC!'' marking on the package), and in the US, the set included the ''wrong'' comic. Instead of a reprint of "[[Target: 2006]]" parts [[Target: 2006#Wreck and Rule!|5]] and [[Target: 2006#The Devil You Know...|6]], which was meant for the "Autobot Ambush" Deluxe-Voyager two-pack of [[Roadbuster (G1)#Universe (2008)|Roadbuster]] and [[Dirge (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Dirge]], the right comic was to be ''The Dark Ages'' issue "[[Escalation]]", which was similarly and erroneously included with the "Autobot Ambush" two-pack.

:This mold was also used to make ''Universe'' [[Blades (G1)#Universe (2008)|Blades]] and ''Timelines/[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Megatron (SG)#Galvatron|Galvatron]].

* '''Autobot Springer''' (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2012/2015)
**''Collection'': '''1'''
**''Bag number'': '''22851 42'''
**''Accessories'': Logo block, 2 swords

: Part of the first normal wave of [[Micro-Changer]] [[Kreon]]s, Springer is a [[blindpacking|blindpacked]]-bagged mini-figure, though a stamped ID number can be found on the back of the bag, top-right corner. He comes with extra parts to turn him into a helicopter.

:He uses the [[Hound (Kre-O)|Hound]] helmet.

:What with being a brick-figure, one could borrow the necessary parts from another Kreon to make him into a car.

* '''Autobot Springer''' (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2016)
**''Collection'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Logo plate, 2 swords

:In 2016, Collection 1 was re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released ''Kre-O'' sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Springer's torso and face [[tampograph]]s have also been reworked to be slightly more detailed, and the formerly-bare legs now have extra detail tampographing on them. His light gray paint has been replaced with shiny silver.

:Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.

===Generations===
====GDO====
[[File:GenerationsGDOtoy Springer.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Now we just need a Voyager Class ground mode Springer to keep things even.]]
*'''Autobot Springer''' (Deluxe, 2012)
**''Accessories'': Left & right missile launchers, two missiles, sword

:An Asian market exclusive, ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Springer is a redeco and [[retool]] of ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers]]'' [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] [[Tomahawk (TF 2010)|Tomahawk]], with a new head and sword. He transforms into a slightly futuristic strike helicopter with a rotating camera array under its cockpit, sporting an amalgamation of features from both the {{w|Eurocopter Tiger}} and the ADH-02 Hellhound attack helicopter from ''{{w|Patlabor}}''. He comes with spring-loaded missile launchers that mount under his wings. In robot mode, he is armed with "snapping pincers" on his right forearm, while his missile launchers end up over his shoulders. They can also be detached and held in his hands via 5mm post, or clipped onto the mini-guns on his wings or onto his forearms using the [[C joint]] system. The new sword can be held at the handle, or be held via the two [[Mini-Con]]-compatible posts on its hilt. The sword has no dedicated spot to store in either mode, and has to use the one of the mounting points on the wings where the launchers usually store, meaning one of these launchers has to mount via C joint instead.

:Springer was originally only to be released as part of a big block of toys, referred to as "GDO" (Global Development Organization), which were originally developed [[exclusive]]ly for release in China and other Hasbro Asia markets. However, [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] picked up those figures, including Springer, as part of a ''massive'' group of ''Transformers'' exclusives for US market release, just in time for the 2012 holiday shopping season.

:The original version of this sculpt was [[retool]]ed into ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Vortex (Movie)#Dark of the Moon|Vortex]], and redecoed (but with Vortex's head) into ''Timelines'' [[Spinister (G1)#Timelines|Spinister]].

====Thrilling 30====
[[File:Generationstoy-VoyagerSpringer.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|And all the other toys on this page were thrown away. ''(Hasbro Version Pictured)'']]
[[File:TF-Generations-TG21-Springer.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|''(TakaraTomy Version Pictured)'']]
*'''Autobot Springer''' (Voyager, 2013)
**''Series / Number'': '''02 / 001'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TG21'''
**''Accessories'': Dual missile launcher, two missiles, rotor blades/sword

: Part of the third wave of [[2012]]-[[2013]] ''Generations'' Voyager Class toys, '[[Thrilling 30]]' "Autobot Springer" is based on [[Nick Roche]]'s design of the character from ''[[The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers|Last Stand of the Wreckers]]'', and is a Triple Changer, transforming into both an armored car and a helicopter. Yup.

:His helicopter rotors detach to transform into a sword that is held by his hands via 5mm post, and can store underneath his car mode or on his back in robot mode. He also comes with a dual missile launcher that fires its two missiles in succession via a two-step pressure launch. The launcher features a jointed 5mm handle to allow it to pivot, and can mount underneath the helicopter cockpit. He has two 5mm ports on his back, the sword hilt has an additional post, and the launcher has additional ports at the top and bottom. There are reports that the second 5mm port on his back is incorrectly sized and the rotor of his helicopter mode can't be correctly plugged into it the way the picture shows. Springer's head is also ''extremely'' prone to detaching when being switched between robot and vehicle mode.

:The Japanese release of Springer features some differences in plastic colors, including a duller shade of yellow and a uniform silver color replacing the Western release's light and dark grays. He also has green feet.

:This mold was redecoed into ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Cloud|Hot Rodimus]], retooled into [[BotCon 2015]] [[Battletrap#Timelines|Battletrap]], and extensively [[retool]]ed into 'Thrilling 30' [[Sandstorm (G1)#Voyager|Sandstorm]]. This mold also served as the basis of the non-toy ''Beast Wars: Uprising'' incarnations of [[Dinobot (BW)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Dynobot]] and [[Grimlock (G1)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Grimlock]].

====Platinum Edition====
[[File:TF-Generations-Platinum-Edition-Autobot-Heroes-Springer.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Now with 50% more IDW and movie inspiration, and 25% more gold paint.]]
*'''Autobot Heroes''' (5-pack, 2016)
**''Accessories'': Springer's weapons (dual missile launcher, two missiles, rotor blades/sword), Arcee's weapons (2 swords), Kup's "laser musket" rifle/exhaust pipe, Ultra Magnus' 2 guns, Blurr's weapons (Sniper rifle, left & right pistols), Minimus Ambus figure
:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', "Autobot Springer" is a redeco of his ''Thrilling 30'' Voyager Class toy, featuring additional colors and some metallic paint operations on his parts.

: Springer's new deco is similar, but not [[show-accuracy|visibly identical]] to his ''Generation 1'' color scheme. Unfortunately, the addition of a second shade of green results in mismatched colors across his parts, most conspicuously having biceps colored both gray and green. Early [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicting a hand-painted [[prototype]] featured gray colored hands, although the actual released figure's hands are cast in green plastic, which is also reflected by the later stock photos that depict a production sample. For unknown reasons, the window piece that ends up on his left forearm in robot mode is lacking the green paint for the frame underneath the window, compared to its counterpart on the right forearm.

:Springer was released as part of 5-pack with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Ultra Magnus]] (including [[Minimus Ambus#Platinum Edition|Minimus Ambus]]), [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Arcee]], [[Kup (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Sergeant Kup]], and [[Blurr (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Blurr]]. The set also included a recreation of the theatrical poster for the 1986 movie. In the United States, this set was officially a [[Target]] exclusive, but was only available via the company's website, never sold in stores. It was also released in Singapore, although it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not. In Canada, it was available via the Canadian [[Walmart]] website but never found in stores, whereas in the United Kingdom, it was available via the UK [[Toys"R"Us]] website and in some stores. In Spain, it was available via the Spanish subsidiaries of both [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour, as well as the department store chain El Corte Inglés, supposedly also only available online. In Germany, it was available via retailer Real and specialty store Rappelkiste Ahlen, also only available online.

**''Accessories:'' 2 swords/rotors, 2 rifles
:''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'' Autobot Springer is an all-new, cartoon-accurate mold that transforms from robot, to car or helicopter, and comes with a pair of swords that serves as the rotor blades and a pair of rifles. Springer features battle damage paint on his front shoulders, chest, and legs.

*'''Springer''' (Basic, 2014)
**''Pieces:'' '''9'''
: Part of the first wave of basic ''[[Hero Mashers]]'' toys, Springer is a non-transforming robot. He includes an extremely lengthy laser gun. Springer is capable of being disassembled and having his limbs swapped out with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure. The figure takes a few specific design cues from the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]] [[Thrilling 30]]'' Springer toy, such as wheels in the calves and slotted shoulders.

:An extensive redeco of the ''Generations'' Springer toy. Unlike the previous Japanese ''Generations'' release, ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' Sprung features a more animation-accurate color scheme. Two shades of green replace the single shade of the ''Generations'' release, with the lighter green replacing the yellow on Springer's chest. His thighs and fists are a light olive green-gray color. He comes with [[Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 19|volume 19]] of ''[[Transformers Legends (comic)|Transformers Legends: Bonus Edition]]''.

==Notes==
*The Hasbro design team chose the ''Cybertron'' Evac mold for ''Universe'' Springer because the BotCon 2007 version already had the ground vehicle [[alternate mode]] of the original covered, and they wanted to give some attention to the original's helicopter mode.
*Fun Publications' [[Jesse Wittenrich]] used an unwanted [[#Universe (2008)|''Universe'' Springer]] to come up with ''Shattered Glass'' Galvatron.
*When asked at [[BotCon 2016]] what toy concept he most regretted not being able to do, [[Pete Sinclair]] stated that he wanted a ''Shattered Glass'' Rodimus toy out of [[Springer (G1)/toys#Voyager|''Generations'' Springer]].<ref>[http://tformers.com/botcon-2016-botcon-over-the-years-the-last-panel-of-the-last-botcon/28965/news.html BotCon 2016 report by RAC]</ref>

Impactor (G1)

2019-02-07T13:52:35Z

Awsm57: /* Toys */

{{factions|autobot|wreckers|decepticon}}
{{disambig3|Impactor}}
:''Impactor is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Impactor Autopedia.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Madeup leader of the nobody squad.]]
'''Impactor''' is the legendary former leader of the [[Wrecker]]s, an elite [[Autobot]] strike team, and as such is a deadly force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. His body is covered with weaponry, from the tank cannon on his shoulder, to the missiles hidden in his chest,<ref>[https://twitter.com/NickRoche/status/727425912287928320 Nick Roche (@NickRoche) on Twitter, 3 May 2016]</ref> to the handgun strapped to his leg, and finally his signature harpoon weapon that replaces his right hand. His audacity and resolve is what puts him in the history books, for better or for worse.

Impactor's first officer, [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], is inevitably his replacement, once terrible things occur. Springer's feelings regarding his filling of Impactor's immense shoes are always a source of angst. Just when Springer thinks these emotions are dealt with and buried, Impactor somehow returns to mix things up again.

{{TOCclear}}

==Fiction==
===Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics===
{{noteukexclusive|Impactor}}
[[File:Impactorfearless.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|[[Macabre]] who?]]
After the departure of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] and their troops from the war, [[Xaaron|Emirate Xaaron]] assigned the Wreckers to assassinate the warlord [[Trannis]], who came into power in Megatron's absence. Impactor was chosen to lead this team. Though the assassination attempt was successful, other leaders quickly sprung up to take Trannis' place.

[[File:Xaaronimpactor.jpg|thumb|Impactor carries a gun barrel around for those (*ahem*, Xaaron) who invade his personal space.]]
Though Impactor was dedicated to his troops, he was not so dedicated to his superiors, and was not above directly insulting them. Emirate Xaaron took this attitude in stride, and could give as well as he received. Impactor referred to the Autobot resistance leader as a "wily old buzzard," as he was often surprised by Xaaron's blunt yet indirect ways of making his point and getting what he wanted. Despite this, their difficulties masked a genuine friendship.

Countless years later, after Optimus Prime and his Autobots had awoken on [[Earth]], Impactor and the Wreckers were responsible for executing [[Operation: Volcano]], a planned ambush of the [[Ten Deadliest Killers|Decepticons' fiercest warriors]] using Xaaron as bait. [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] was assigned to the Wreckers to help them bolster their ranks for the mission, but he was quickly needed to travel to Earth to investigate the disappearance of Optimus Prime. Impactor's commitment to the mission wavered and he at first refused to deploy his team without Magnus there as back-up, but he changed his mind after a conversation with Xaaron. Impactor's doubts were further quelled when Xaaron convinced him that [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]], and [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] were an adequate replacement for Magnus, which Xaaron accomplished by having them disguise themselves as Decepticons and beat Impactor up. Operation: Volcano was once again on track.

Xaaron, the bait for the Wreckers' trap, was placed according to plan, but suddenly Megatron called his warriors to Earth, overriding all other commands, including the planned ambush on Xaaron. Disappointed that their trap was ruined, the Wreckers let down their guard long enough to allow an assassin named [[Macabre]], ignoring Megatron's orders, to fire upon Xaaron. Impactor was the first to react and pushed Xaaron out of the way, taking the shots meant for the Autobot underground resistance leader. Immediately, the other Wreckers turned and fired upon Macabre, killing him, but Impactor was fatally wounded. With his last words he named Springer the next leader of the Wreckers before dying in Xaaron's arms, again calling him a "wily old buzzard." {{storylink|Target: 2006}}

[[File:Impactorzombie.jpg|left|thumb|Brains!]]
Impactor's death would haunt several other Autobots for some time to come. Though he sought to deny it, Ultra Magnus felt guilty for not returning to Cybertron in time, and this led to his taking an excessive approach when dealing with Optimus Prime, whom intelligence reports stated was a traitor. {{storylink|Under Fire!}} Subsequently Magnus found a fight with Megatron proved the opportunity to release his pent-up aggression over Impactor's death. {{storylink|Resurrection!}} Even after that, the sight of a volcano on Earth left him uneasy, and cause him to flashback to Impactor's death. {{storylink|Burning Sky!}}

Springer was also severely affected by Impactor's death, and felt inadequate in the shadow of his legacy. So when a rogue Autobot scientist named [[Flame (Marvel)|Flame]] discovered a way to reanimate dead Transformers, Springer was crippled from action when he was met with the reanimated corpse of Impactor. After being captured by the zombies' controller, the mad scientist [[Flame (Marvel)|Flame]], the Wreckers were put in an underground cell, guarded by their former team leader. Managing to find his courage once more, Springer made use of his leaping abilities to escape, but Impactor grabbed a hold of him, dragging him outside of the cell as well. Springer reluctantly fought his predecessor until he managed to jar Impactor into remembering his past life. Confused, Impactor wandered away while Springer pursued his mission to foil Flame's machinations. {{storylink|Legion of the Lost!}} Eventually, Impactor shambled into Flame's inner sanctum, where the rest of the Autobots were facing off both against the crazed scientist, and what remained of his zombie horde. As Flame lunged for Xaaron, Impactor launched his harpoon, impaling the Flame through the forehead and killing him. But though Flame had now been dealt with, his machines were overloading, threatening to take the whole planet with them in a chain reaction. The only means to shut them down was to enter a control room bathed in deadly radiation. Though Xaaron had initially planned to sacrifice himself, Impactor took his place, arguing he was already dead anyways. In his second death, Impactor saved [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] once more. {{storylink|Meltdown!}}

Impactor was [[Reproduction#IDW Generation 1 continuity|constructed cold]] before the war. {{storylink|Remain in Light 3 of 5: The Divided Self|The Divided Self}} He worked as a miner near Nova Point, and befriended a fellow mine grunt, [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] there. The two became best friends<ref>[https://twitter.com/jroberts332/status/681985702821793794 James Roberts's MTMTE2015 Q&A on Twitter, 29 December 2015]</ref> despite their differences, and were together when miners were shipped to [[Moonbase Two|Luna 2]] when Cybertron's need for energy rose. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 1|Chaos Theory #1}} {{storylink|Shockwaves}} Impactor thought Megatron's nonviolent solutions to Cybertron's class warfare were cute, and reminded him that there would always be a pecking order, no matter how large or small the equation. Megatron's naïveté was underscored when the lowly [[Rung (G1)|Rung]] was ganged up on by a much larger pair of military cadets and tossed across their table. Impactor, drunk, got up to deal with them the only way he thought mattered. Megatron was put off by the violence and stayed out of the fight, but was arrested anyway; Impactor was taken to [[Deltaran Medical Facility]], but not before he'd torn the cadet's legs off and shoved them into a garbage grinder. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 1|Chaos Theory #1}} {{storylink|Elegant Chaos Part 2: Stet}}

When [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] was arrested for the beating he gave Megatron during the latter's brief incarceration, Impactor ended up being his cellmate on [[Garrus-1]]. Impactor proceeded to beat up Whirl to the brink of fade-out, leaving him in critical condition. {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 2: Patternism|Patternism}}

At some point after war broke out, Impactor joined the Wreckers, when they were not yet the war heroes they would come to be known as, but merely a rumor. {{storylink|Zero Point}} During this time, he was approached by [[Prowl (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Prowl]] who had formed a partnership with the depraved scientist [[Tarantulas (BW)#IDW Generation 1 continuity|Mesothulas]]. In exchange for releasing his friend [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]] from prison early, Impactor would take down Mesothulas and destroy everything they had built together. Clad in a suit of early [[Anti-rad armor]], Impactor did just that, shoving the scientist into his own [[Noisemaze|experimental weapon]] and annihilated Mesothulas's various weapons. Impactor found, however, that neither he nor Prowl could bring themselves to kill Mesothulas's pet project: an artificial Cybertronian named Ostaros. Instead, they enlisted him as an Autobot under the name "[[Springer (G1)|Springer]]". {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 3|Sins of the Wreckers #3}} {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 5|Sins of the Wreckers #5}}

[[File:RulesofDisengagement-BlackShadowvsWreckers.jpg|thumb|left|upright=2.4|Only extraordinary Decepticons get to brag about kicking Impactor in the face.]]
He battled [[Black Shadow (Victory)|Black Shadow]] in the 11th iteration of the team, under the command of [[Crest]]. {{storylink|Rules of Disengagement (issue)|Rules of Disengagement}} He would go on to become leader of the Wreckers in turn and still holds the record as their longest-serving member to present day. It was ''he'' who coined the phrase "Wreck and Rule!" while saving [[Xaaron]] at the [[Sonic Canyons]]. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|Last Stand of the Wreckers #2}} He left an impact on Springer at [[Sherma Bridge]], when he took control of a flaming Decepticon shuttle pod by disposing of its headless pilot, landing it safely. The incident would inspire Springer to sign up for the Wreckers reservists. {{storylink|Zero Point}} In a minor incident at the Vosian Citadel, Impactor also unknowingly inspired [[Ironfist (G1)|Ironfist]] to become a major Wreckers fanboy and hagiographer. {{storylink|Bullets}}

Much later, Impactor personally approached Springer at [[Toxic Sludge Swamps]] to recruit him into the 17th line-up of the Wreckers. With his entrance, he took down eight hidden Decepticons. Springer was impressed but didn't realise at the time that it was all a scripted part of the Wreckers mythology and that Impactor never gave him a choice. {{storylink|Dead Men's Boots}} Impactor took Springer under his wing, and the two shared a close bond not much unlike brothers. He even nicknamed Springer "my little green circuit booster" after the effect he had on him with his speeches. But during Impactor's leadership as the war got dirtier and dirtier, so did the Wreckers. His Wreckers were barely Autobots at that point—they would abuse prisoners, cause unnecessary pain unto their enemies and kill Decepticons even when not needed.

When Megatron responded with [[Squadron X]], that sent Impactor into a single-minded rage. As any Autobot would, he hated Squadron X but for him it was personal as he saw an echo of the Wreckers in the team. Impactor then proceeded to chase the enemy team across nine star systems, ignoring significant war events such as the [[Black Epoch]], the [[Simanzi Massacre]], and the [[Crucible]], and the "Rise of the [[Dethroner]]". {{storylink|Zero Point}}

[[File:Gloaming-battle-for-hells-point.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|He gave it a shot; turns out that two hands are for chumps.]]
He was among the Autobots fighting atop a Decepticon warcruiser during the [[Battle for Hell's Point]], {{storylink|The Gloaming}} where he picked up the nickname "'''Kiloton'''" for the number of Decepticons he slaughtered during the battle. Over time, his mental state became increasingly unstable, something both his superiors and his fellow Wreckers chose to ignore. Impactor was inspired to replace his hand with a harpoon weapon after a run-in with a dimension-hopping "[[Death's Head (G1)|freelance peacekeeping agent]]". After a long string of suicide missions, Impactor became an alarmingly obsessed individual, especially regarding Squadron X, the team Megatron assembled in answer to the Wreckers. Impactor felt indirectly responsible for the atrocities Squadron X committed. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Impactor's psych-screening}}

As described in Ironfist's [[Wreckers: Declassified|''The Wreckers' Air Attack'']], Impactor met his old friend Megatron at the [[Manganese Mountains]] where they fought on a drilling platform. Eventually, Impactor lost his hand, chin, and had Megatron's fusion cannon pressed to his head. Before giving the killing blow, Megatron gave a poetic speech of Impactor's coming death. Even with no power to lift his harpoon, Impactor replied by scratching the words "NOT MORE POETRY" on the platform, and gave Megatron pause. (That moment, at least, appears to be entirely factual as Fisitron is unaware of why these "random" words affected Megatron) At that window of opportunity, Springer used a sky sled to knock Megatron down, sending him to fall thousands of feet into the Mountains.

After gathering his mouth, Impactor proceeded to inform Springer what they'd have to do in four minutes: save Xaaron, rescue [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] from his antimatter duplicate, deactivate [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s necrocannon and stop the platform they were on from crashing into a nucleon reactor. Springer was unsure if they could manage all that in the given time so Impactor told him that they actually had two minutes, but assured him that he had a plan. Years later, [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]] would consider this account full of embellishments and fabrications, but the essence was true.{{storylink|Zero Point}}

[[File:LastStandoftheWreckers5-squadronexxed.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|They were like that when I got here!]]
After chasing Squadron X across the galaxy, the Wreckers' rivalry with them came to an end on the planet [[Pova]]. The Wreckers, however, found themselves in a bad way after Impactor's first officer, Springer, was trapped under some collapsed rubble. Despite Springer's pleas, Impactor used Springer's own body as a shield against Squadron X's advancing troops, firing through it. This helped turn the tide, and the Wreckers rounded up all of Squadron X for transport offworld. Unfortunately, Impactor snapped when Prowl told him that Pova was neutral territory, and that he was ordered to set them free or else the Autobots would face diplomatic repercussions. Impactor personally executed every member of Squadron X while they were restrained. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Last Stand of the Wreckers #5}}

When the Wreckers were on their way back from Pova, they stopped at [[G'th Semane]]. Springer made a call to [[Autobot High Command]], and gave Impactor in. The mech he was talking to had been waiting for the opportunity to arrest Impactor for hundreds of years. Impactor detached his harpoon, passive, much to Springer's surprise. {{storylink|Zero Point}}

Springer testified against Impactor, and the disgraced Wreckers leader was imprisoned on [[Garrus-9]]. A cover story for what happened on Pova was released which involved Springer suggesting Impactor fire through his torso and Squadron X later escaping their restraints, necessitating their execution. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 4}} As extra punishment for refusing to show remorse for what he'd done, Impactor was not granted the mercy of spark removal, and instead was imprisoned normally. In jail, they called him "the Autobot that went ''too far''". {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|Last Stand of the Wreckers #2}} As Impactor was dragged to his cell, Springer said something he didn't want to hear, something he would dwell upon for the length of his incarceration: Squadron X deserved to die, but that didn't give Impactor the right to kill them. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Last Stand of the Wreckers #5}}

[[File:LastStandoftheWreckers1-Impactor post boom.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Give him a hand, folks!]]
Twenty years later, [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] seized control of G-9, and Springer's Wreckers were sent to liberate it. Springer was trying hard not to think of Impactor. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 1|Last Stand of the Wreckers #1}} However, the Decepticon [[Snare]], wanting Overlord gone, released Impactor from his cell in the hope he could escape the planet and get help. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|Last Stand of the Wreckers #2}} As the current-day Wreckers arrived at Garrus-9, a decrepit Decepticon dropship blocked their path. It exploded before their eyes, but not before the battered form of Impactor ejected from the craft. Appearing before the shocked Wreckers, Impactor sneered, requesting to be let aboard. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 1|Last Stand of the Wreckers #1}}

He filled the new Wreckers in on the situation and how he'd escaped, while continuing to clash with Springer. He not only refused to recognize his former soldier was now in charge, he snarled that he used to think Springer would've done the same thing Impactor himself did on Pova...and was now sickened that Springer ''wouldn't''. Conflict aside, Springer knew Impactor was needed for the mission. Given a new harpoon/hand, he was placed in Springer's drop-team and deployed to G-9...and he recognized, with visible glumness, the name of their secondary objective, "[[Aequitas]]".

Descending towards G-9 in two ejected escape pods, they met with tough Decepticon resistance. Despite their maneuvering, Impactor's ship was the first to go down, though the other wasn't far behind. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|Last Stand of the Wreckers #2}} After their crash-landing, Impactor led them towards where the Autobot prisoners were being held. Cell Block G was directly below him, best he recalled, but [[Twin Twist]]'s drilling only sent them tumbling into a large, empty chamber. At the bottom, Impactor found the twisted remains of [[Kick-Off (G1)|Kick-Off]], whom he regarded as one of the few guards who treated G-9's prisoners with respect. Their presence in this chamber signaled G-9's defenses, and after he, Springer, and Twin Twist were electrocuted, they woke up strapped to tables in the care of [[Stalker (G1)|Stalker]]. A sadist, Stalker grabbed his tools of torture and gleefully went to work on them. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 3|Last Stand of the Wreckers #3}}

[[File:LastStandoftheWreckers4-fivewords.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|He makes that same face when he doesn't want to eat his peas.]]
Unlike Springer and Twin Twist, Impactor had grown used to the Decepticons' methods in the time since their takeover of G-9, so he alone managed to stay online during Stalker's "work". Twin Twist was looking terrible and mangled, and Springer had just woken up when he and Impactor began talking about their murky past. Impactor accused Springer of betraying the Wreckers with the testimony against him, while Springer was surprised to learn that Impactor still had no remorse for what he'd done. So long as Impactor refused to realize that he'd done wrong, their feelings were at an impasse.

Stalker returned with a [[endoscopic claw|new torture device]] but his work on Twin Twist was interrupted when his brother Topspin sacrificed his own life elsewhere, extinguishing both sparks. Disappointed, Stalker turned his attentions to Impactor, but was again interrupted. [[Kup (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Kup]], [[Guzzle (G1)|Guzzle]], and the turncoat Decepticon Snare blasted into Stalker's lair. Snare was mortally wounded in the following skirmish, and Stalker was killed. As Snare lay dying, Impactor questioned him, wondering why the Decepticon had saved them. Snare told them that Overlord was on his way and asked that he himself be killed, which Impactor did curtly before Snare could finish his final words.

True to Snare's last warning, Overlord arrived with a boom. Unknown to them, elsewhere, the other half of the Wreckers had completed their objective by hacking the supercomputer judge Aequitas and downloading it into Ironfist's brain. They were surrounded by Decepticons whom they could easily deal with if they simply signaled all the deterrence chips in their heads, killing them. But they knew this would also kill Impactor, who was also an ex-prisoner, and so his and their fate came to a vote. Perceptor voted for killing him for the sake of many, Pyro voted against, and...Ironfist, Impactor's greatest fanboy and new host to Aequitas's judgment of Impactor, came to the sad realization that his hero very much deserved to die. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 4|Last Stand of the Wreckers #4}}

[[File:LastStandoftheWreckers5-finishhimoff.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Surprise! He's a tank. Surprise! He's gonna kick your ass.]]
Fortunately for Impactor (and the Wreckers), [[Verity Carlo]] convinced the others to spare Impactor. After Overlord pulled Guzzle apart and used the pieces to put Kup down, Impactor removed Overlord's eye with his harpoon. In response, Overlord stomped Impactor into the ground, forcing him offline.

When Impactor came to, Overlord had been reduced to a flaming skeleton facing only the fragile Verity Carlo. Impactor blasted Overlord's arm off and attacked him, but Overlord had lost the will to fight, as he'd learned that Megatron had perished, robbing Overlord of his final showdown with him. Overlord beckoned Impactor to kill him, but Impactor refused. In honor of Springer, whom Impactor thought had died, the former Wreckers commander promised that Overlord would serve trial as a criminal, and himself finally came to terms with the crimes he committed on Pova.

Impactor was pardoned in exchange for his help retaking Garrus-9, and he immediately left for parts unknown on a shuttle with the repaired Guzzle. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Last Stand of the Wreckers #5}}

Things didn't go well for the new pair: Guzzle became increasingly violent and obsessed with racking up a bodycount, something that struck Impactor too close to home, and which got him captured in a rescue mission against Decepticon Harvesters. The fact Impactor cared about Guzzle and the alien hostages enough to rescue them was a sign that he was improving... but when the hostages were killed, Impactor allowed himself to succumb to bloodlust once more, realising to his horror that he could not escape it. {{storylink|Escape (G1)|Escape}} Eventually, Impactor balked and had Guzzle imprisoned at Debris for butchering prisoners, something that a raging Guzzle felt was hypocritical. All Impactor could now do was wile away his days with Roadbuster, lamenting the state of the Wreckers and their lack of purpose. Roadbuster comforted Impactor by pointing out he ''didn't'' join the killing and was trying to care for a comrade. Such caring was a point of contention between the two as Impactor felt it was wrong for his teammate to keep Springer alive, after years of no mental activity, and tried to drag Debris administrator [[Hubcap (G1)|Hubcap]] into the debate.

Shortly after, Springer did in fact regain consciousness: just in time for the Wreckers to be gathered once again to try and rescue a captured Prowl. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 1|Sins of the Wreckers #1}}

On Earth, Impactor and the Wreckers found Prowl's old collaborator [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]] hunting for him, after he went missing en route to Verity Carlo and her copy of the [[Aequitas]] [[data slug]], a gift from Ironfist. When a "[[Stampy (BWN)|rabbit]]" stole the data slug, Impactor and Guzzle took off after the creature, but soon encountered several [[Chimeracon]]s, robots in disguise as Earth creatures. Their leader, [[Carnivac]], disabled Springer. Impactor came to Springer's aid, and Carnivac began talking to him; how he's being used by Prowl, how 'bots like them still had to do the dirty jobs. Unable to convince Impactor to join him, he fled when Guzzle finished his ally. A massive Chimeracon name [[Tidal Wave (G1)|Tidal Wave]] appeared, and the Wreckers surmised that Prowl was being held inside him. While Springer led a squad into the 'bot, Impactor Kup and Guzzle remained outside to draw fire and divert their other attackers. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 2|Sins of the Wreckers #2}}

[[File:SOTW4_ImpactorCarnivac_drinks.jpg|thumb|left|Just threatening and flirting with a furry, as usual.]]The three fought Tidal Wave, stuck mid-transformation, and several other Chimeracons until Tidal Wave was ordered to retreat. Impactor was going to follow, but Kup told him of the mind-link Prowl had installed in him, eliciting an angry response from Impactor. Kup forwarded the message Prowl sent, and upon hearing of [[Noisemaze]], Impactor immediately knew who they were dealing with. Without wasting any time, he told Kup they must return to Debris.

Now back on the ship and with Guzzle asleep, Impactor began to dig his own grave, literally, while briefing Kup on what they were up against. While unnerved by ''how'' Impactor knew such details of Noisemaze, he and Impactor managed to hatch a plan. When done with digging, Impactor's grave revealed a gate to the Noisemaze. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 3|Sins of the Wreckers #3}}

Prowl, Arcee, Roadbuster, Springer and Verity now trapped in Tarantulas' dungeon due to Hubcap's betrayal, were introduced to [[Impetus]], a super-computer that extracts guilt. On Debris, Impactor tried to knock Kup out cold, failing the first three times for not hitting hard enough, to allow him to connect Prowl through the mindlink. Just as Tarantulas tried to force Prowl into the machine, he heard Kup, and the message of their rescue. Kup came by as the Debris breached Noisemaze, and Impactor went over the plan with him and Guzzle one more time; make the Noisemaze crash with Debris after their rescue is complete. Guzzle however rushed ahead, itching to get into the action despite Impactor's warnings.

As Impactor and co. jumped off their ship, Mayhem was already in waiting. Even Tidal Wave began to join in, somehow making his way into the Noisemaze, further destabilizing it. While Carnivac was distracted by his teammate, Impactor dropkicked him. The two engaged in battle, Carnivac again trying to seduce him to his side, but Impactor wasn't having it. He came out on top, ready to finish off the Chimeracon, but Tidal Wave arrived and distracted Impactor. With the tip of his foot to Impactor's groin, Tidal Wave sent him flying, straight into the [[Tor]]--Tarantulas' lair at the heart of the Noisemaze.

[[File:sotw4 undeserved.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|]]Now inside, Impactor searched for Prowl, and found him escaping with Hubcap. Hubcap tried to convince Prowl not to kill him, that they could change, Prowl decided not to shoot Hubcap; and Impactor took the matter in his own hands, deciding that the risk to keep him around was too great, that the deaths of his comrades would'be been for nothing if the Aequitas data ever leaked. Cynically he stated that nothing would change, that guys like Prowl would always have someone like Impactor to pull the trigger for them.

Soon Springer and the others caught up to them, and Impactor let them know he'd eliminated Hubcap, not Prowl, as Springer first accuses. Noticing that Roadbuster was missing from the group, Impactor knew what had happened to his friend. The joined group began to hatch a plan to destroy the Noisemaze and Tor for good, Prowl and Springer leading with forcing Tidal Wave to transform to destabilize the maze to a critical point. Impactor added the [[Obtenteum|super-fuel]] to the mix, citing how it amps up a 'bot for the worse. The team arrives into the main room, and Impactor and Springer rush into the central column holding the obtenteum, ready to take the fuel and lay down bombs to detonate the place.{{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 4|Sins of the Wreckers #4}}

Impactor was the leader of the Wreckers, with missions such as [[Operation: Volcano]], the Battle of [[Hell's Point]], and the [[Garrus-9|Garrus 9]] Incursion being the stuff of legend among Autobots and Decepticons alike. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 68|Impactor's profile in Club magazine #68}}

During [[Operation Cybaxx]], Impactor and the Wreckers tracked down High Circuitmaster [[Boltax (G1)|Boltax]], who had preserved his consciousness inside the knowledge base known as the [[Underbase]]. The secrecy of their mission put them at odds with another Autobot team running Operation: Dark Star, and led to numerous rumors and false retellings of the operation. Boltax was recovered, under the codename of Cybaxx, and incorporated into the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]]s' merger [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] to feed the knowledge of the Underbase into Computron's data processing abilities.

Despite his reputation as a stone killer, Impactor remembered the deaths of all his men and those they were forced to kill in the line of duty. The Wreckers once had a recorder named [[Ironfist (G1)|Fisitron]] who attempted to alleviate the weight of Impactor's actions by creating his own thorough chronicle of the Wreckers' history. When Fisitron died, Impactor wore his data disc around his neck as a reminder. {{storylink|Lively Pursuit}}

The story of Impactor and his Wreckers was cut short, however, when [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was left ravaged by [[Decepticon]] [[combiner]] [[Thunder Mayhem]]. Vowing revenge, Impactor set out across the planet to build a new team with which to destroy the apocalyptic gestalt. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 68|Impactor's profile in Club magazine #68}}

His first recruit was the spy [[Punch (G1)|Punch]], who Impactor found critically injured in the ruins of an Autobot outpost on [[Gargoid]] {{storylink|The Truth We Make}} and then took to [[Paradron]] for medical care. Impactor was initially outraged that [[Lifeline (G1)|Lifeline]] could only save one of Punch's robot forms, but after storming out, he had second thoughts. {{storylink|Insight}} It was also on Paradron that Impactor installed some medical equipment with lethal capabilities into himself. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 68|Impactor's profile in Club magazine #68}}

After the spy awoke, he gave Impactor the shocking news that Punch had been the fiction and Counterpunch the true identity all along. The Wrecker leader was angry at this long-term deception, but put this aside to make Counterpunch an offer: join him the Wreckers and stop the monster that destroyed Cybertron. {{storylink|The Truth We Make}}
[[Image:Toxic Transformer The Wreckers.jpg|thumb|left|300px|]]

Impactor and Counterpunch subsequently followed a distress signal to [[Chicxulania|a mysterious planet]] where they found found a small group of Cybertronians who had taken on bestial [[alternate mode]]s. After donating a universal translator from Paradron to help the "[[Raptoricon]]s" clear up their relations with the planet's local lifeforms, Impactor recruited their newest associate, [[Decepticon]] geochemist [[Fractyl]], to the Wreckers. {{storylink|Life Finds a Way}}

Next, Impactor tracked down a data trail indicating a Decepticon research bunker may have shut down before the final fallout with Thunder Mayhem, leaving a test subject inside. Sure enough, the Wreckers discovered Toxitron, still trapped in stasis from his vain attempt to escape. After reviewing the records on Toxitron, Impactor decided to free him from his stasis and offer him the choice to join the Wreckers. Fortunately for all, Toxitron accepted. {{storylink|The Toxic Transformer}}

[[File:DeadlyAim Wreckage.jpg|thumb|right|200px|]]
Building off the design schematics from the former Wreckers engineer, [[Ironclad]], Impactor hoped to create his own Wreckers combiner to oppose Thunder Mayhem. To that end, two more Wreckers were found and recruited, named [[Alpha Bravo]] and [[Offroad]], who had already been fitted as reserve members of the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s and [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticon]]s. Fractyl also reasoned out the means of creating a Matrix from the Greenergon he found on Chicxulania, introducing it into Toxitron's system as the central component to supercharge the Wreckers combiner. During the surgery, however, Impactor also introduced a failsafe compound of thiotimoline into Toxitron's body, which would react violently to the toxic materials in the test subject's body if necessary.

To test their new form, Impactor brought Counterpunch, Fractyl, Toxitron, Alpha Bravo, and Offroad to a [[Mecannibal]] nest. Sure enough, the Greenergon-powered goliath named Wreckage was an unstoppable foe. However, Wreckage proved to have no self-control when it came to wrecking, and would wreck anything in his line of sight. Impactor only barely survived Wreckage turning his sights on the Wreckers leader, until Alpha Bravo forced a separation. Shellshocked by the mental merger, Alpha Bravo killed Offroad to prevent Wreckage from ever forming again, and was killed in turn by Toxitron. {{storylink|Foundation and Wreckage Part 1: Deadly Aim|Deadly Aim}}

[[File:LivelyPursuit Wreckers.jpg|thumb|left|300px|]]
Impactor was prepared to give up when the Wreckers received a distress call from Cybertron. They met the former Autobot gunner named [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]], who had encountered Impactor during Operation: Dark Star. Bluestreak had been approached by aliens named the [[Teklaan]]s who claimed they could revive Cybertron, but needed living sparks to rekindle the lives of the lost population. Bluestreak initially turned Impactor and the Wreckers over to the Teklaans, but soon learned their terraforming process would ultimately destroy Cybertron all over again in a few generations.

As the Wreckers escaped confinement, Impactor got Bluestreak into a reconstruction lab where they applied Ironclad's upgrades to themselves. After that, they rejoined the other Wreckers and successfully recreated Wreckage. With greater focus on the mission than before thanks to the inclusion of Impactor, Wreckage destroyed the Teklaans' ship and disassembled on command. The Wreckers were now complete, and they had the combiner power to face Thunder Mayhem. {{storylink|Lively Pursuit}}

Impactor and the Wreckers received a signal tracking Thunder Mayhem to the planet [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Pandora's Gift}} There they teamed up with [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and the humans and [[Mega Pretender]]s of another reality to battle Thunder Mayhem. The human [[Lisa|Elizabeth]] used her power to channel Wreckage's energies and shatter the [[Matrix of Malice]], forcing the evil combiner apart. Impactor and the Wreckers took the Mayhem Attack Squad into custody following that exchange. {{storylink|Finale}}

: Part of the fourth wave of 2012-onwards ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''Fall of Cybertron'' Impactor is an orange and purple [[redeco]] and [[retool]] of ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Onslaught (WFC)#Generations|Onslaught]], with a new robot head sculpt based on [[Nick Roche]]'s rendition of Impactor in [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers|Last Stand of the Wreckers]]'', and a new combiner head based on [[Xaaron|Emirate Xaaron]]. He transforms into a [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] "missile carrier" truck.

:Impactor comes with a twin-barreled cannon that can be attached to two small pegs on top of the vehicle mode, completing his "missile carrier" mode, and a brand new spring-loaded missile launcher accessory (with the missile shaped to resemble a harpoon) that can be attached on top of the twin-barreled cannon. Both weapons can be held via [[5 mm post]], and feature additional pegs and peg-holes for mounting/storage.

:In addition to his robot and vehicle modes, Impactor can also combine with his fellow Wreckers into Ruination, serving as the gestalt torso. The twin-barreled cannon can either be combined with the other Wreckers' weapons into a huge "phase cannon" for Ruination to wield, or the twin-barreled cannon can be attached to Ruination's back. As the result of a [[design flaw]], two small tabs that are used to attach the cannon more securely are very prone to showing stress marks, and eventually breaking.

:In addition to a [[tampograph]]ed orange regular Autobot [[insignia]] on his lower chest, Impactor also sports a tampographed light blue version of the "Wreckers" insignia from [[3H Productions|3H]]'s [[Transformers: Universe (comic)|''Wreckers'' and ''Universe'' comics]]. Oddly, even though both the official Hasbro [[stock photography|stock photos]] that depict a hand-painted [[prototype]] (which are also featured on the back of the [[packaging]]) and the ones that depict a (pre)-production sample show the Wreckers insignia, at least one specimen from Asia sports a light blue regular Autobot insignia instead.<ref name="taiwan">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/929782-generations-foc-wreckers-ruination-pics.html TFW2005 thread] with a Taiwan-based fan's photos of the Wreckers, depicting Impactor with a light blue regular Autobot insignia</ref>, thus matching the one on display at [[Toy Fair 2013]].<ref name="toyfair2013">[http://www.tfu.info/HasbroFanMediaEvent/2013/Generations/index.htm Hasbro Fan Media Event 2013] at TFU.info.</ref>

He transforms into an armored personnel carrier, and can also form an arm or leg for any compatible ''Combiner Wars''-style Voyager figure (or into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs). One of his hands is unpainted purple so as to replicate the character's traditional one-handed appearance. He includes the mold's [[5 mm post|5 mm]] clamp weapon, along with redecoes of ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Generations|Arcee]]'s four accessories. Of those, the swords are intended to be used to recreate Impactor's traditional harpoon-hand, whilst the larger pistol is decoed to resemble his shoulder cannon. Although Impactor can use his weapon/extremity for his arm mode, his clamp weapon can be plugged in to represent Wreckage's harpoon-hand.

:Impactor was released alongside [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Bluestreak]].

:The original version of this mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' [[Roller (G1)#Toys|Wandering Roller]], slightly retooled into [[BotCon 2016]] [[Tarantulas (BW)#Generations|Predacon Tarantulas]], heavily retooled into ''Combiner Wars'' [[Swindle (G1)#Combiner Wars|Swindle]] and [[Hound (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Hound]], and ''even further'' retooled into [[Nosecone (G1)#Unite Warriors 2|''Unite Warriors'' Nosecone]]. Additionally, this mold also served as the model for the non-toy ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' version of [[Brawn (SG)|X-Brawn]].

*'''Impactor''' (Deluxe Class, [[2019]])
**''ID number'': '''WFC-S42'''
**''Accessories'': "HP Energon Mineblaster," "Trilithium Drill"
:In accordance with his victory in the 2018 ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Fan polls#2018|Hasbro fan poll]], Impactor will have a new figure in ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'', thematically matched up against [[Mirage (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Mirage]]. Impactor is styled after his IDW appearance, and transforms into a Cybertronian 4-treaded battle tank and comes with 2 accessories: the HP Energon Mineblaster and Trilithium Drill. He features multiple [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] weapon ports to attach weapons, enabling custom configurations in bot and vehicle modes. As part of the ''Siege'' line, Impactor features battle damage paint applications, specifically above his treads and mine plow.

==Notes==
{{quote|What does Impactor transform into?}}{{quote|Who cares, he's dead.|Human child and [[Blaster (G1)#Letter's page|Blaster]]|[[Eye of the Storm|#306 Darn 'n' Blast It]]}}
*According to [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] in [[Survivors!|issue #221]]'s [[Letters page (Marvel UK)|letters page]], Impactor transformed into an "earth-boring vehicle". In the letter page to [[Survival Run|issue #238]], Dreadwind clarified that he transformed into a drill tank but didn't have an earth mode. Later, in ''[[The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers|Last Stand of the Wreckers]],'' he transformed into a non-drill tank. Later still, but [[Chaos Theory Part 1|earlier in IDW's timeline]], he gained a drill replacement for his hand.
*In the Marvel comics, Impactor's right hand can be interchanged for a harpoon. This emulates the wrist-launcher gimmick found in many ''[[Diaclone]]''-based toys. He is frequently seen carrying a club which looks an awful lot like a gun barrel, and which may be a gun attachment for his right arm; but being Impactor, he only ever uses it to smack guys around.
*Impactor was the one Wrecker in ''Last Stand'' who was ''never'' going to die! <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9DPbginVXE Moonbase 2's AA2010 interview], 21:22</ref>
*[[Remain in Light 3 of 5: The Divided Self|''More than Meets the Eye'' #19]] revealed that all the Aequitas defendants were [[Reproduction#IDW Generation 1 continuity|"constructed cold"]]: their sparks taken from the Matrix itself and slapped into a body. That same issue also said Impactor was a [[Point One Percenter]], i.e. ''not'' constructed cold, causing some confusion until James Roberts confirmed that was a mistake.<ref name="moonbase2">[http://www.fullmetalhero.com/t14540/ moonbase2 interview with James Roberts]</ref> The trade paperback snips Impactor's name from the Point One line.
*In IDW's Generation 1 continuity, Impactor was once a friend of Megatron, and later gains the nickname Kiloton. In reference to this, "[[Ask Vector Prime]]" christened [[Kiloton|Megatron's unnamed friend]] from the ''Generation 2'' manga "Kiloton".

Greenlight

Awsm57:

{{faction|autobot}}
:''Greenlight is an [[Autobot]] from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Femaleautobot green.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|THREETWOONE]]
'''Greenlight''', back when she was impetuous and untested, was once one of Cybertron's most promising young scientists. But then the war came. Unlike before, when she could only abstractly mourn for the lives lost, it took a loss of a friend to make her realize that she, too, had a stake in the outcome.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
[[File:Femaleautobots.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|Pssst, hey, Greenlight, pay attention!]]
Greenlight was a member of the [[Female Autobots]], an underground resistance movement on Cybertron. Four million years ago, she and the other Female Autobots tried to board the Ark, but they failed and were thought destroyed until they were rediscovered in modern times.

Greenlight was manning a series of monitors in the team's secret underground headquarters when [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] and her team returned from their energy-stealing mission. Later, when their headquarters was located and destroyed, she and [[Lancer]] freed [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]] from the debris. Sticking with the rest of the team, she did her share in the fight against the Decepticons and could again later be seen manning a series of monitors in the team's new base. {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}
{{-}}

====''Wings Universe''====
{{Wingsnote}}
Greenlight and [[Lancer]] were amateur historians and the assistants of the archaeometrist named [[Glyph (Universe)|Glyph]]. They were assigned to [[Flip Sides (G1)|Flipsides]]'s excavation site in [[Median]], where they uncovered a mysterious artifact known as the [[Heart of the Dragon]]. Unfortunately, Decepticon raiders from [[Quarex]] also learned of their discovery. The historians requested aid from the [[Elite Guard|Autobot Elite Guard]] to defend themselves and their find. Greenlight helped [[Strika (BM)|Strika]], Lancer and the Elite Guard fortify Median against [[Rage (G1)|Rage]]'s [[Stormtrooper (G1)|Stormtrooper]]s. Unlike her fellow neophyte Lancer, however, Greenlight showed no interest in engaging the enemy. She remained in hiding near the dig with Glyph and Flip Sides while the others fought off the Decepticons. Rage and [[Aquablast]] managed to infiltrate the defenses and reach the chamber where the historians were hiding, though, and Aquablast killed Glyph before Greenlight's optics. They were only saved by the last minute arrival of Lancer, wielding a borrowed laser weapon. {{storylink|Flames of Yesterday}}

When the Autobots' current reserve of energies was dangerously low, Greenlight joined her comrades still on Cybertron in stasis hibernation as an energy-saving measure. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 6}}

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
:*''First Appearance:'' [[The Will of the Few|Transformers: Windblade vol. 2 #7]]
[[File:TheWillOfTheFew-greenlight.jpg|thumb|250px|>Be me]]
Greenlight served aboard the permanently spacefaring Titan [[Vigilem|Carcer]], under the command of [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]]. Having been unable to keep [[Lancer]] from getting too friendly during roll call, the two were assigned to guard Carcer's space bridge, as Cybertronians had recently come through it, violently clashing with [[Devastator (G1)|each]] [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|other]]. Greenlight grew increasingly bored, saying that no one had used the space bridge in weeks, and she wasn't really sure that actual Cybertronians had come through it. Lancer assured her that they had, and almost immediately after, the bridge activated. While Lancer radioed the bridge of the ship, Greenlight joined with the other reinforcements in "welcoming" [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]] and [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] to their ship.{{storylink|The Will of the Few}}
[[File:0700-greenlightandlancer.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
After Carcer's inhabitants had joined the Council of Worlds, many of them emigrated to Cybertron while Carcer himself was being repaired, Greenlight among them. She and [[Lancer]] were trying to enjoy a quiet drink together at Maccadam's when a [[Drunkatron|drunk Decepticon]] harassed them. After Lancer told him he wasn't making any sense, Greenlight stated that the couple were from Carcer, anyway, and that he should get lost. {{storylink|07:00:00}}

==Notes==
*Greenlight was only known as the "Unnamed Green Female Autobot" for a good 25 years until she was named in the ''[[Transformers Timelines (fiction)|Timelines]]'' text story, "[[Flames of Yesterday]]", as were a handful of other previously-unnamed female Autobots.
*The Club Udon special edition cover to ''[[G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers: The Art of War]]'' [[The Art of War issue 2|#2]], which is dedicated to the ladies of the two brands, surprisingly features what appears to be Lancer with Greenlight's colors. This is the only instance during the 25 years between the airing of "The Search for Alpha Trion" and the publication of "Flames of Yesterday" that these characters have been referenced.
*In IDW continuity, Greenlight and Lancer are a romantic couple, the first on-panel female couple shown in a ''Transformers'' story, though [[Proxima (G1)|Proxima]] and [[Acceleron]] were the first mentioned.

:''Gentei! Gentei!'' Dark Skyfire is a [[TakaraTomy Mall|Toy Hobby Market]]-[[exclusive]] [[black repaint]] and [[retool]] of ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[Jetfire (G1)#Classics|Jetfire]]. The primary changes to his deco are mainly for making him, uh, darker. Specifically, he's cast in glossy black and purple plastic, with painted purple details and new thin white stripes on his wings. The tips of his backpack cannons have been significantly remolded to make the barrels and stalks on which they are mounted a single, newly-jointed piece, with the result being that the cannons' bodies stick out ever so slightly from their housing. This change is likely to make the barrels more durable under the constant spring-loaded strain of being hidden, as well as allow one to pivot and deploy the cannons without sliding back the panels that are keeping them hidden, due to the fact that deploying the cannons this way with the previous tooling often resulted in the (detachable) tips of the cannons to pop out and send them flying. As with all ''Henkei'' toys, he lacks the heat-sensitive rubsign seen on the ''Classics'' release, but instead has some [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] parts (his jetpack's exhaust nozzles).

:The extent of Dark Skyfire's 'Dark' originally varied from image to image: early pre-production mockup images showed a dark matte grey similar to e-Hobby [[Astrotrain (G1)#Toys|Astrotrain]], whilst later images appeared gloss black with high-contrast silver details, leading to speculation that this redeco is the previously unreleased 'ghost' Classics Jetfire. Some possible hints of this remain, such as the Hasbro Classics-styled open cockpit instead of ''Henkei's ''half-painted version, as well as some entirely new paint operations, such as the added stripes on the sides of the intakes just behind his shoulders.

:Pre-orders for Dark Skyfire opened up on [[November 12]] and closed on [[December 11]] [[2009]], with the toys finally shipping sometime in March 2010.
::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2010/Destron/DarkSkyfire/darkskyfire.htm More information on Dark Skyfire at TFU.info]''

==Notes==
* Zardak and his Maladroids were inspired by the 1980s [http://www.toyarchive.com/Convertors/Convertors.html ''Convertors''] toyline from Select. Zardak was a small version of the [[Takatoku Toys]] ''Macross'' VF-1S Super Valkyrie toy, later recolored black with some very festive stickers. A larger version of the Valkyrie, of course, was released as [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Jetfire]] by [[Hasbro]].

You'd be forgiven if upon seeing '''Strafe''' (aka '''Swoop''') appear on the battlefield, you had some sort of embarrassing evacuation of waste. After all, the sight of a gigantic, two-headed, fire-breathing metal dragon-like pterosaur swooping down on you with lightning speed like some kind of movie monster would shake the toughest fighters. However, Strafe is an interesting contradiction in terms; while a powerful and merciless warrior on the field, off of it Strafe is one of the most friendly and approachable individuals you're ever likely to meet. He is very good friends with [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]].

==Fiction==
===''Age of Extinction'' film===
[[File:AOEStrafeandBumblebee.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Strafe is about to catch his favourite meal, the [[Bumblebee (Movie)|kid-appeal character]].]]
Strafe was among the Dinobots freed from [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]]'s ship, and subsequently yielded to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s command. During the battle in Hong Kong, Strafe aided [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] as he battled [[Stinger (AOE)|Stinger]]. The two fought on Strafe's back until Stinger was defeated, and Strafe got to munch on Stinger's head. Strafe aided in escorting the Seed to safety until Lockdown returned and unleashed his magnetic vortex upon the group. Though he briefly freed [[Slug (AOE)|Slug]] from the vortex, the Dinobots were trapped in it again until Optimus destroyed it. Strafe helped hold the line on a bridge until the Seed was transported to safety and Lockdown was defeated. The battle over, Strafe and the Dinobots were freed from Optimus' command and parted on good terms with their new allies.

===''How to Ride your Dinobot'' cartoon===
Strafe found himself the unwilling target for Bumblebee's first Dinobot riding lesson. Strafe ensured the Autobot had a rough first lesson, flying out of his reach for the majority of the time while trying to feed on scrap metal. Bumblebee laid a trap for Strafe with a tasty gear, and finally held onto a rope that had snared around his leg... but Strafe happily flew Bumblebee into a mountain's wall. Bumblebee seemed to have learned not to mess with Strafe, since he destroyed the Dinobot-riding instruction manual and quit listening to that maddeningly unhelpful narrator. {{storylink|How to Ride Your Dinobot Chapter 1: Getting on a Dinobot|Getting on a Dinobot}}

===''How to Ride a Dinobot!'' comic===
Strafe was minding his own buisness in a Chinese forest when Optimus Prime and his Autobots arrived, intent on learning how to ride the mighty Dinobots into battle. After Hound tried to boss about [[Slash (AOE)|Slash]] and got hurled away for his efforts, Bumblebee attempted to earn their favor...by giving them treats. This went over a bit ''too'' well, and Strafe was forced to rescue the Autobot from the Dinobot stampede; but the Dinobot immediately sent Bumblebee falling to the ground when the Autobot attempted to ride him. When Grimlock caught the scent of Decepticons, Strafe rolled out with his fellow Dinobots into battle, finally letting Bumblebee ride him. {{Storylink|How to Ride a Dinobot!}}

**''Accessories:'' Crossbow/launcher, missile, 2 swords

: "Generations" Strafe is a more complex and less [[gimmick]]-focused version of Strafe than the "Robots in Disguise" toy. Strafe transforms into a twin-headed ''Pteranodon'' monster. Like all the other Dinobots, Strafe's design is based on medieval knights. Twin swords peg onto his wings, and the swords can also be hand-held in robot mode. He also comes with a pressure-launch missile-firing "crossbow". Pegs on the crossbow allow the swords to attach and create a larger weapon. Both the crossbow and the swords seem to stem from unused concept art, as seen in this page. His tails are made of soft rubber, but due to his packaging, they are almost always bent at an extreme angle out of the package. This can be fixed by soaking the rubber in hot water and then correcting the bends.

: The ''Movie Advanced Series'' version of Strafe features several different paint apps.

{{--}}

==Notes==
*According to ''Transformers'' Manager of Global Brand Development Mark Weber at New York [[Toy Fair 2014]], Strafe is named so not because of [[trademark]] reasons, but because the film's two-headed design was considered too great a departure from previous [[Swoop (disambiguation)|Swoop]] characters. Of course, this doesn't explain why various toys released around the same time that represent [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]] are also named "Strafe"; the fact that [[Swoop (G1)/toys#TitansReturn|Swoop's ''Titans Return'' toy]] was named "Ptero" suggests that Hasbro had lost the trademark to the name "Swoop" [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Power of the Primes|until recently]]. The "Strafe" toy released in the [[Tiny Turbo Changers]] line (after Hasbro regained the trademark) was also named "Swoop."
*Also, Strafe's pterosaur mode looks more like a ''Darwinopterus'' than a ''Pteranodon'', albeit two-headed, two-tailed and massively overgrown. Still, referring to Strafe as a ''Darwinopterus'' is more scientifically accurate than calling him a ''Pteranodon'', seeing as how he has teeth and long tails. Of course, either way, [[Scale|Strafe is far too big compared to most of the cast]]...
*Strafe's two pterosaur heads in the movie have some noticeable differences, with the right head having a straight beak and a larger crest as compared to the left head that has a more curved beak, a smaller crest, and two large teeth on its lower jaw. Neither head is scientifically accurate, as discussed above.

'''In the final battle against Unicron and his servants, many of our heroes are called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to prove that faith and compassion can triumph over the fear and chaos born from the legacy of the Primes.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Mount Rushmore]] has become the new home of all the [[spark]]s that were being nurtured within [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], having been removed from the [[Titan (IDW)|Titan]] to keep them safe during the battle that now rages in [[Earth]] orbit. As [[Marissa Faireborn]] comforts [[Buster (IDW)|Buster]], [[Jetfire (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Jetfire]] and [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] arrive with the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], who have been brought at the request of [[Soundwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Soundwave]] to help with a plan that may yet save the day...

Chaos reigns above the Earth as an army of [[Autobot]]s, [[Decepticon]]s, and everyone in-between—transported into space by Trypticon and [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]—attack [[Unicron]] and its servants, keeping them occupied in order to allow [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]], [[Skywarp (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Skywarp]], and [[Thundercracker (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Thundercracker]] to transport [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]], [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]], and the [[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]] down to Unicron's surface. The stubborn [[Slide]] is reluctant to join the battle, unwilling to fight and die in the name of Optimus Prime. Punctuating her words, Trypticon becomes the first to fall, slain by one of Unicron's eye-beams.

Down below, all across the Earth, from [[Venice]] to [[Sao Paolo]], the planet's heroes and villains fight alongside their alien allies to defend their world against Unicron's [[Maximal]]s. In [[Toronto]], [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Shockwave]] and [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] watch from the [[CN Tower]] as [[Stardrive]] and [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] battle the Maximals in the streets below. Shockwave deems the fight a lost cause, and contacts [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], ordering him to bring his [[Worldsweeper]] down from orbit to collect Shockwave and Rhinox so that they may leave the Earth to its fate, and deal with Unicron another day. Bludgeon, however, refuses; always a servant of chaos, he has thrown in his lot with Unicron, rapturous at the notion that he will be able to watch the entire universe be uncreated at the planet-eater's hands. Shockwave is dumbfounded at the very idea, but barely has time to process Bludgeon's betrayal before he is attacked from behind by Rhinox; this once-loyal Maximal has also decided to side with Unicron after learning that the divine "Onyx Prime" whom he once believed in was nothing but a trick played by Shockwave. Shockwave attempts to fire on Rhinox, only to discover that the new cannon-arm the Maximal provided him with will not work on the Maximals. Rhinox overpowers Shockwave and tears the cannon-arm off, preparing to turn it on his former master... only for his head to suddenly be blown off by a blast from behind, fired by [[Prowl (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Prowl]]!

Up in orbit, Thundercracker is hit by Maximal fire and falls behind the rest of his group, finding himself surrounded by enemy forces. After depositing Arcee on Unicron with Starscream and Optimus, Skywarp reluctantly goes to his fellow [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]'s aid, teleporting into the path of a Maximal blade to save Thundercracker's life so that he can get the Talisman to the others. Refusing to leave Skywarp behind, Thundercracker tosses the Talisman to Starscream down on Unicron's surface and dives into the fight. It doesn't seem possible that the two can survive, and that poses a problem to the rest of the group: without Skywarp's teleporting powers, they can't get through Unicron's miles-thick armor. Starscream hits upon a solution and implements it before anyone can object; with one last egotistical grin born of the knowledge that he was the one to save the day, he asks Prime and Arcee to give Windblade his best, then activates the Talisman, sacrificing his life as its magical energies consume him and begin burning their way down into Unicron.

Watching from the battlefield, [[Jazz (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Jazz]] and [[Aileron]] are stunned by Starscream's sacrifice, but [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Bumblebee]] always knew he had it in him. [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ironhide]] isn't interested in debating Starscream's merits right now, as the Maximals continue to attack; a moment later, [[Icebird|one of the beasts]] pounces on Ironhide and tears him in half. As Bumblebee fends the Maximal off, Jazz rushes to Ironhide's side, assuring him that he will make it through—but Ironhide is too far gone, and dies in peace in his friend's arms, feeling that he finally understands the meaning of the phrase "[['Til all are one|'til all are one.]]"

Nearby, Slide continues to find other things to complain and argue about rather than the actual threat at hand when the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] approach her. She and [[Slag (G1)|Slug]] immediately start fighting over the tragic outcome of [[Time Will Rust|their recent clash on Earth]], but [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]] interrupts them, motioning toward Bludgeon's Worldsweeper as it heads down to Earth to rain devastation on the planet. Slide relents, and she, the colonists, and the Dinobots head down to the planet to lend their aid.

Following the path the Talisman is burning through Unicron, Optimus Prime and Arcee venture into the depths of the planet-eater once more, fighting their way through its [[Unicron's antibodies|antibody monsters]]. Arcee proposes that Prime leave the mission to her, that she may make amends for her part in the devastation of [[Antilla]] that began this nightmare, but Prime refuses; as "[[The Arisen]]," one of the [[Thirteen|Thirteen Primes]], he ultimately traces all their misfortunes to the failures of himself and his lineage. Arcee is confused; she ''knew'' the Thirteen, and ''knows'' that Optimus wasn't one of them, but before she can press the issue, the pair arrive at Unicron's heart, where the supermassive black hole around which the monster planet once orbited now rests. As they watch, the Talisman disappears into the singularity... and a moment later, Optimus bids Arcee farewell and leaps in after it. His physical body is compressed to pure information, and Prime once again finds himself in [[Infraspace]], the transitional limbo between life and death, with the Talisman at his feet. But he is not alone in this twilight realm: from out of the darkness appears the form of the [[Unicron's creator|Antillan scientist]] who created the Talisman, whose rage and desire for vengeance is what is driving Unicron from beyond the veil. Prime attempts to talk to the scientist, telling him that his anger toward the Cybertronians is justified, but the alien is not interested in words and lashes out at him.

Prowl drags Shockwave out into the street, where Stardrive stands ready to play her part in the complex plan Prowl and Soundwave have assembled. While Stardrive uses her Wraith magicks to invade Shockwave's body and mind, across the continent, [[Jetfire (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Jetfire]] follows Soundwave's instructions, remotely linking Stardrive into the [[Enigma of Combination]]—saved from Cybertron by Soundwave—via their communications systems. Next, the Aerialbots combine into [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] for the first time since absorbing the duplicate Enigma created by [[Galvatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Galvatron]] out of Earth's communications network years ago. The energies of the Earth Enigma fill the air—but they're not ''all'' that are in the air, as Bludgeon's Worldsweeper appears overhead, and [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]] leaps out to attack Superion! As the two combiners clash, [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] arrives with the Dinobots and colonists. The Dinobots all leap aboard the Worldsweeper, intent on taking the ship down, while Slide and the colonists argue about what to do. Some unexpected help arrives in the form of [[Pyra Magna]] and the surviving [[Torchbearer]]s, who have been clinging to the hull of Bludgeon's ship, and who now boldly attempt to form [[Victorion]], despite the loss of [[Stormclash]], to buy the Dinobots the time need to enter the ship and defeat Bludgeon. As a partial combiner herself, Slide feels the energies of the Earth Enigma running wild around her, and embraces them, joining with the Torchbearers as they merge, becoming the new leg of Victorion. Together, Victorion and Superion overpower and finally destroy Monstructor.

Meanwhile, the Dinobots fight their way onto the Worldsweeper's bridge and seize the [[Void Scepter]] Bludgeon is using to control the vessel, sending the ship flying away in the direction of [[Washington, D.C.]], in order to give Soundwave time to execute his plan. [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]] and [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] are slain in the subsequent fight; as Bludgeon and Slug grapple, the Decepticon tells Slug that their deaths mean nothing, as Unicron will still destroy them all. Slug disagrees; he has faith that Unicron will be stopped, and moreover, he knows the Dinobots are relics of the war, unable to let go of their old hatred, and so they ''must'' die if the Cybertronian race is to move forward unburdened by them. With that, both Bludgeon and Slug die as the Worldsweeper crashes into the [[White House]]. Some of the Maximals aboard survive and emerge to menace the [[President of the United States|President]] and her G.I. Joe bodyguards [[Flint (G.I. Joe)|Flint]] and [[Chameleon (G.I. Joe)|Chameleon]], but at the last minute, [[Rum-Maj]] and [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] arrive with their [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]] to finish off the beasts and save the humans.

Back at Mount Rushmore, Soundwave senses that the time is right to execute the final step of his plan. The Enigma of Combination has always had the power to combine not just ''bodies'', but hearts, minds, and ''spirits''—and now, by the power of ''two'' Enigmas, using his own faith as an anchor, Soundwave is able to make contact with and unite the spirits of all those who have died in the war against Unicron, and more. In Toronto, via Stardrive, Shockwave can feel what is happening and begs Prowl to convince Soundwave the plan will not work—that "faith" is a fabrication invented by Shockwave himself millions of years ago, incapable of accomplishing anything. But Prowl disagrees; "faith," he says, is just another name for having the strength to conquer the fears within yourself. And Shockwave... the original false Prime, progenitor of a corrupt lineage that has loomed over Optimus Prime all his life and been the root cause of every conflict that has brought Cybertronian history to this climactic moment... Shockwave represents everything that Optimus Prime has ever feared. Soundwave disintegrates as the combined spirits of the dead are united with Shockwave's thoughts via Stardrive, and sent by her Wraith magicks, linked to the Talisman, to Optimus Prime.

In Infraspace, all this wonder and terror floods into Optimus; every fear he has ever known, embodied in Shockwave's thoughts, and the memory of everyone who has ever stood behind him, which gives him the strength to face those fears and overcome them. As the Talisman surges back to life and the landscape of Infraspace begins to crumble away under its power, Prime now knows what he must do: rather than attempting to ''defeat'' the spirit of Unicron's creator, he instead extends a hand toward him in peace, and asks him his name. Confused and in pain, the scientist admits that he can no longer remember... but he does remember the name of his daughter, who died during Antilla's war with Cybertron, setting him on this path of death and revenge. Prime pulls the alien into an embrace, and calls upon him to remember that name now, at the end. Thus do they die in peace together, the last of the Primes overcoming the legacy of his ancestors by showing compassion to the monster birthed by their crimes, as the power of the Talisman collapses Unicron's body into the black hole at its own heart.

As Unicron collapses, all the combatants in Earth orbit make for the planet's surface, save for Bumblebee and Aileron, who fly through the maelstrom to rescue Arcee before she is sucked into the singularity. The trio set down on Earth's moon, where Aileron and Arcee joyously reunite, and they are presently joined by [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]], revealed to have survived Bludgeon's attack on [[Sanctuary Station]]. At Mount Rushmore, Marissa believes Thundercracker must surely have perished, but Buster thinks otherwise, and is proven right seconds later when Thundercracker descends from the sky, carrying the damaged but also-still-living Skywarp with him. At Thundercracker is welcomed by his friends, Skywarp laughs at the ridiculousness of the situation, but recognizes his brother-in-arms as a true Seeker. Prowl and Stardrive take a despondent Shockwave into custody; [[Rom]] and [[Livia]] console a young [[Elonian]] orphan; [[Sunstreaker (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Sunstreaker]] thinks of [[Sideswipe (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|his brother]] as he watches Buster, [[D.0.C.]], and [[Bob (IDW)|Bob]] play; Windblade and [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] discuss Windblade's future as the leader of Cybertron on Earth; [[Swift (G1)|Swift]] digs the lone surviving Dinobots, Swoop and [[Strafe (IDW)|Strafe]], from the wreckage of the Worldsweeper; and with the survivors of Cybertron and its colonies now destined to be permanent residents of Earth, the President starts making plans for their future together.

Pyra Magna recovers the [[Mistress of Flame]]'s [[Forgehammer]] from where she left it, wedged in Metroplex's armor, and realizes now that "faith" is not what ''others'' tell you to believe, but what you believe in your own heart. Pyra takes the mantle of Mistress of Flame upon herself, and invites Slide to join the Torchbearers full-time; Slide, overjoyed to know belonging once again, and realizing that she and Pyra were wrong about Optimus Prime all along—that he never wanted to ''rule'' them, but to build a better world for them to live in—tearfully accepts.

With Earth now lit by twin stars of light and darkness—the [[sun]] and Unicron's black hole in perfect balance—the Transformers enter a new era on a new homeworld, an era without Primes, without Autobots or Decepticons, without even the distinction between Cybertronian, colonist, or Earthling. Thanks to Optimus Prime, his sacrifice, and his belief in those who followed him...

...all are one.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*In the montage of heroes and villains fighting around the Earth, Predaking is seen in the service of Iron Klaw. The Predacons have been under his control since before the events of [[The Iron Klaw|''Revolutionaries'' #4]]; it seems he's managed to repair [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] after Kup blew his head off in that story.
*Action Man declares "This is for Kup" as he blasts a Maximal; the pair were buddies in ''Revolutionaries'', until Kup's death in [[Schismatic|''Transformers vs. Visionaries'' #1]].
*Terrence Salmons is now wearing the Action Man uniform too. As seen in the {{i|''Action Man'' comic}}, he was considered next-in-line for the position until Ian Noble, the current Action Man, slipped in ahead of him, but it looks like extenuating circumstances have seen him take up the mantle alongside Ian.
*Scarlett has joined Matt Trakker in Detroit, where his team were located when we last saw them in [[Our Finest|issue #3]]'s {{i|back-up strip}}.
*Last issue, as the battle with the Maximals concluded, it was abruptly noted that Mayday was now in command of the human forces, despite the fact that nothing had been shown to happen to previously-established leaders Spike and Talon on-panel. This issue shows that Spike got shot down by the Maximals, and unintentionally took Talon down with him, but both men have survived and are stranded in a jungle somewhere. Spike notes that he "always figured [he'd] have a bigger role" in the final battle; while most IDW readers are no doubt glad he doesn't, this hearkens back to the fact Spike leads his life like he's "the star of an action movie," as originally observed in [[Police Action Part 2: Only Forward|''The Transformers'' vol. 1 #27]].
*Pressed into fighting alongside Strongarm in defense of Earth, Rumble and Frenzy grumble that they "shoulda unionized," a joking reference to the recent success the pair have found in Hollywood, as seen in [[Starscream: The Movie (comic)|the 2018 ''Optimus Prime'' annual]].
*Starscream uses the Talisman to burrow through Unicron's surface, in the same manner as it burrowed its way down through Cybertron in ''[[Transformers vs. Visionaries]]''.
*Slug and the Dinobots continue to clash with Slide following the events of [[Time Will Rust|''Optimus Prime'' #23]]-[[A Sunrise Dark|24]], which included the death of her fellow colonist soldier [[Gimlet]].
*Rhinox provided Shockwave with his new gun-arm in [[Road's End|issue #4]]. He evidently built it himself, indicating this Rhinox shares the engineering abilities of his counterpart in the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|''Beast Wars'' cartoon]].
*Shockwave notes that he didn't simply become evil when subjected to Shadowplay, having always been a manipulator with dodgy leanings. He illustrates this with the specific example that he was the one who gave Optimus a Matrix chamber (which we learned in [[Chaos Theory Part 2|''The Transformers'' vol. 1 #23]]), but the darker side of his pre-Shadowplay life was previously emphasized in [[Shadowplay (Conclusion): An Intimate Beheading|''More than Meets the Eye'' #11]] when [[Roller (IDW)|Roller]] and [[Ratchet (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ratchet]] dug up some intel on him and learned about the various covert projects he was investing in, which he was keeping secret from his allies.
*Soundwave got the Enigma of Combination out of storage in issue #3.
*Galvatron turned Earth into a large-scale Enigma of Combination in [[All Hail Optimus Part 4: It's Beginning To And Back Again|''The Transformers'' vol. 2 #53]]. Superion absorbed the Earth Enigma code to prevent it from working in [[All Hail Optimus Part 5: As Above...So Below|''The Transformers'' vol. 2 #54]]; this is the first time the team have combined since then.
*Optimus Prime returns to Infraspace by entering the black hole at the heart of Unicron, the same way he did by entering the singularity in Crystal City in [[The Falling, Chapter 4: The Hallowing|''Optimus Prime'' #19]].
*The Dinobots settle their recurring rivalry with Bludgeon, begun in ''[[The Transformers: Redemption|Redemption]]'' and continuing through ''[[The Transformers: Salvation|Salvation]]'' and [[The Dead Come Home, Part 1 (of 2)|''Optimus Prime'' #13]]-[[The Dead Come Home, Part 2 (of 2)|14]].
*Bludgeon previously used his Void Scepter to control Trypticon in ''Salvation''.
*The ability of the Enigma to combine not just bodies, but hearts and minds, has always been implicit in the way combiners work, with a gestalt personality emerging as Transformers' bodies are merged together. However, it was previously established that it was possible for it to work in a more spiritual way, combining minds ''without'' combining bodies, back in [[Onyx Interface Part Three: ONoffON|''The Transformers'' vol. 2 #37]], when it was credited with subtly uniting the thoughts and ideas of early humans, leading to the development of human cities and civilizations.
*The spirits who appear before Soundwave specifically include all those notables who have died throughout the ''Unicron'' mini-series itself (Wheeljack, Cliffjumper, and the Solstar Knights from [[Our Darkest|issue #0]], Dirge and the Mistress of Flame from [[Unicron issue 1|issue #1]], Omega Supreme from [[Stranger Eons|issue #2]], Scattershot, Fastlane, and Cloudraker from [[Our Finest|issue #3]], Blurr, Elita One, Cosmos, Sky-Byte, and Laserbeak from [[Road's End|issue #4]], and Ironhide from this issue) and its tie-in issues in ''Optimus Prime'' (Mainframe and Gimlet), along with other significant characters who have died during "Phase 2" of the IDW Universe: Alpha Trion ([[The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|''Optimus Prime'' #16]]), Ambulon ([[Remain in Light 3 of 5: The Divided Self|''More than Meets the Eye'' #19]]), Horri-Bull ([[The Autonomy Lesson (issue)|''Robots in Disguise'' #1]]), Kup ([[Schismatic|''Transformers vs. Visionaries'' #1]]), Metalhawk ([[Heavy Is the Head|''Robots in Disguise'' #16]]), Pipes ([[Under Cold Blue Stars|''More than Meets the Eye'' #15]]), Ravage ([[The Dying of the Light Part 6: Do Not Go Gentle|''More than Meets the Eye'' #55]]), Rung ([[Crucible (Part 6): A Spark Among Embers|''Lost Light'' #24]]), Sideswipe ([[The Life of Sideswipe|''Optimus Prime'' #10]]), Skids ([[The Dying of the Light Part 5: Rage, Rage|''More than Meets the Eye'' #54]]), and Trailcutter ([[Births, Deaths, and Interventions|''More than Meets the Eye'' #34]]).
*The president notes that the White House has been reinforced since the "last attack," referring to the [[Dire Wraith]] attack in ''[[Thundercracker & Buster Save the World|The Transformers: Revolution]]'' one shot.
*Optimus Prime had a vision of a Worldsweeper crashing into the White House in [[All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|''The Transformers'' vol. 2 #50]].
*Buzzsaw was implied to have perished in issue #4, but is here revealed to have survived his brush with death.
*The Elonian girl and her [[Mutt (IDW)|pet creature]] are presumably the same ones that appeared in [[Our Darkest|''Unicron'' #0]], and on the last page they're drawn posed as they were on the first page of issue #0.
*It's the end of ''Transformers: Unicron'', but not quite the end of the universe; the story continues into [[Post|''Optimus Prime'' #25]], the final issue and epilogue to the entire [[IDW Generation 1 continuity]].

===Transformers references===
*The Maximal who kills Ironhide is [[Icebird]], one of the [[Mutant (BW)|''Beast Wars'' Mutants]], who had two beast modes, but no robot mode, save for a robot head hidden inside their bodies. Icebird is here drawn with his robot head deployed. But, see "Errors" below.
*Sky Lynx recalls an adventure on [[Regulon Four|Regulon IV]], a planet with several previous mentions in Transformers media, originating in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]] episode "[[The Rebirth, Part 1]]."
*After Ironhide's death, Aileron rallies the others with a variation on a well-used [[Furmanism#CAN_I_DO_LESS.3F|Furmanism]].
*Rhinox's doublecross of Shockwave harkens back to the doublecross Rhinox himself had suffered in the ''[[Beast Machines]]'' episode "[[End of the Line]]", complete with a rigged betrayal-proof cannon and sarcastically calling his target "master."

===Real world references===
*Wreck-Gar's classic habit of peppering his speech with snippets of pop culture continues:
**He greets the humans in the White House with the cry of "Hi-ho, True Believers and Believerettes," the blusterous term {{w|Stan Lee}} regularly used to refer to faithful fans of [[Marvel Comics]].
**He quotes the opening theme to ''{{w|Mister Rogers' Neighborhood}}'', declaring it a "beautiful day in the neighborhood," and hoping they'll "be [the Junkions'] neighbors."
**He paraphrases the title of the 1987 movie ''{{w|Good Morning, Vietnam}}'' with a whoop of "Goooood Morning, Planet Earth!"
*The Action Men are fighting Maximals outside {{w|London King's Cross railway station|King's Cross station}}, one of London's major train stations.

===Errors===
*As a helicopter, Alpha Bravo is easily identifiable among the Aerialbots arrived on page 1, panel 3, and Air Raid appears roughly-on model as well, but the other Aerialbots don't seem to match their ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' designs, and aren't really recognizable as any particular members of the group, hence the "?"s in our list above.
*Trypticon is credited as a "Decepticon Titan," but he hasn't been a Decepticon for ages.
*Rumble and Frenzy's ID captions (or colors!) are [[FIRRIB|swapped]].
*Icebird was among the dead Maximals seen in [[The Falling, Chapter 5: Endless Forever|''Optimus Prime'' #20]]. This is about to become a theme.
*A Maximal with the body-type shared by Transquito and his Japanese counterpart Bigmos appeared on page 17, panel 1. While the block-coloring used in the pages of ''Optimus Prime'' made identifying Maximals and discerning between American and Japanese characters tricky, in this case, ''both'' these characters should be dead, with the remains of one appearing in ''Optimus Prime'' #20, and the other dying on-panel in [[The Falling, Chapter 6: Unforgivable|''Optimus Prime'' #21]].
*Likewise, a Maximal sharing the body type of [[Snarl (BW)|Snarl]] and Tasmania Kid appears in the same panel. Both these characters are also accounted for; one was also among dead remains seen in ''Optimus Prime'' #20, and the other is a native Eukarian, not a Maximal, who was seen in ''Optimus Prime'' #23.
*Starscream's absence from the spirits of the dead is so pronounced it ''can't'' be an error, but the fact that ''Stormclash'' isn't among them (given the inclusion of nobodies like Fastlane, Cloudraker, and the dead Space Knights) feels like an oversight.
*One last time, the chart at the end of the issue misspells "[[Devisiun]]" as "Divisiun."
*The bonus material refers to [[Prion]] has having been devastated by the Black Box Consortia, which should be the [[Black Block Consortia|Black ''Block'' Consortia]]. It isn't a complete error, though - the Black Box Consortia was the equivalent organisation in the [[Functionist Universe]], as seen over in [[The Transformers: Lost Light|''Lost Light'']]

===Deathlist===
*Trypticon; killed by one of Unicron's eye-beams
*Starscream; sacrifices himself activating the Talisman
*Ironhide; torn in half by Icebird
*Rhinox; killed by Prowl
*Optimus Primal; finished off by Stardrive and Snake Eyes
*Monstructor; killed by Victorion and Superion
*Broadside; roasted by Strafe
*Soundwave; gives up his life to combine the spirits of the dead with the Enigma of Combination
*Sludge and Snarl; die in the battle aboard the Worldsweeper
*Slug and Bludgeon; die in the crash of the Worldsweeper
*Unicron; consumed by the black hole at its own heart
*Optimus Prime; sacrifices himself to destroy Unicron

===Other trivia===
*Intended for release in October, this issue arrived late in the middle of November. ''Optimus Prime'' #25 was consequently pushed back to ensure it was released afterward.
*This super-sized final issue is 48 pages in length, with 40 pages of story. In addition to the the sixth and final installment in a series of interviews with creators from IDW history, this time with ''Unicron'' writer and artist [[John Barber]] and [[Alex Milne]], backmatter for this issue also includes a complete listing of all thirteen [[Cybertronian colonies]], complete with Prime, [[Regenesis]] ore, Titan, current status, and (if applicable) representative on the [[Council of Worlds]], filling in several pieces of information that have never been revealed on-panel (like which Prime goes with which planet, and the names of previously-unidentified ores and Titans).

Bumblebee (Cyberverse)

2018-11-04T21:02:13Z

Awsm57: /* Cyberverse cartoon */

{{factions|autobot|hofsilver}}
{{disambig3|Bumblebee}}
:''Bumblebee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:CyberverseBumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"Hey, kid, what's your name?" "I can't remember." "Where you from?" "I can't remember." "Can't you remember anything?" "I remember the Alamo."]]

'''Bumblebee''' is totally the bravest, coolest, most epic scout in the [[Autobot]] ranks... or, at least, he ''thinks'' he is. Problem is, his memory chip was damaged on [[Earth]], and now he can't remember his critical mission, or how he got to the planet in the first place. It's a good thing that he has the help of his best friend [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] and his leader [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] to rely on, because with [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] and the [[Decepticon]]s hot on his tail, getting his memories back isn't going to be easy.

==Fiction==
===''Cyberverse'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[Jeremy Levy]] (English)|[[Alessandro Bevilacqua]] (French), [[Steven Merting]] (German), [[Alessandro Capra]] (Italian)}}
[[File:Cyberverse-s1e1-Fractured-Windblade-hugs-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Wait hold on, where did you [[Windblade_(G1)#Notes|come from]]?]]
Bumblebee was part of the crew of the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]], but somehow ended up on [[Earth]] with severe amnesia. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}} He was enjoying a drive in the desert and attempted to enjoy himself even further by driving off a cliff, but ended up falling from said cliff instead when he was distracted by [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]]. Windblade attempted to communicate with him after she rescued him from the fall, but she only learned that his memory wasn't functioning. He mistook the [[Decepticon]] [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] for a friend Windblade had brought and asked her if he was staying for dinner, but attacked him with his [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] and momentarily paralyzed him when he proved himself an enemy by attacking Windblade. After Windblade blew off Thundercracker to parts unknown, she attempted to use a [[cortical psychic patch]] to connect with his mind and jog his memories. This didn't work so well, as the device instead inflicted pain on both [[Autobot]]s and rendered them unconscious. {{storylink|Fractured}}
[[File:Cyberverse-s1e2-Memory-Windblade-in-Bumblebee's-mind.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Boo!!]]
The cortical psychic patch also emitted a powerful energy pulse, which alerted the [[Decepticon]]s Thundercracker and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]] to their location. Bumblebee tried his best to hold Thundercracker off while Windblade fought Nova Storm in the air, but his stinger malfunctioned and Windblade ordered him to retreat to a nearby mineshaft instead. He did as instructed, allowing Windblade to bury both Decepticons under a pile of rubble. They later located the Decepticons' ship, and Bumblebee decided to rush in straightaway instead of listening to how Windblade thought they ought to break in. He was playing with the ship's controls when Windblade made it in, and engaged in a more successful cortical patch session in which he learned how to tap into his undamaged memories. However, he was only able to recover a small fragmentary memory detailing the launch of the Ark. That memory also came with memories about Windblade, and Bee finally recognized her as his old friend. The happy moment was cut short when [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] contacted the ship to know how his scouts were doing... only for Bumblebee, not remembering that Starscream was an enemy, to immediately seize the communicator and blow their cover. Oops. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

*'''Bumblebee''' (Warrior Class, 2018)
:''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class Bumblebee transforms from robot to car. His "Sting Shot" Action Attack gimmick is activated when his left arm is clicked in place, pushing the chest up. Pushing his chest down causes his arm to spring up and the stinger on his hand to [[Cyber-slash tail weapon|spin and spin]]. Due to this, he lacks articulation in his left arm entirely, save for this gimmick. The right arm contains a forward swivel in the shoulder and a hinge at the elbow, and the hips are ball jointed.

:The knees are seemingly meant to have joints, but due to their design have a tendency to just pop off - the lower leg is a single piece that simply snaps over the end of the thigh and the small rounded pegs that are meant to hold it together are very small. Additionally, a thick ridge on the rounded bottom end of the thigh forces the two sections apart when the knee is rotated; removing this ridge or swapping the thighs seems to restore this functionality.

:The stock photography (to the right) shows the figure with yellow joints sticking out of the hood, which are grey and black and the final version. The same stock photo also strangely has the right arm lower down the body than the actual figure, despite the toy ''not being able to do that.'' Meanwhile: the switch that activates his spinning stinger is yellow in the stock photo instead of the final product's unpaintable black plastic.

:Released as part of the second wave of Ultimate Class, this Bumblebee is an all-new Leader-sized mold. While he transforms into a very show-accurate robot unlike most of his previous toys, his left arm possesses 2/3 of the vehicle hood chunk, which features a Sting Shot gimmick. The gimmick can be activated in robot or vehicle mode.

War for Cybertron: Siege

2018-11-04T16:03:19Z

Awsm57: /* Micro Masters */

{{nav-WarForCybertronSiege}}

[[File:WFC-Siege-Poster-ArkLaunchAutobots.jpg|thumb|250px]]

'''''War For Cybertron: Siege''''' is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' toyline, and the first portion of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.

First revealed in mid-[[2018]] at [[San Diego Comic-Con]], ''War for Cybertron: Siege'', in keeping with the installments of the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'', features a line-wide [[gimmick]]: weaponry. Most Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader Class figures each come with at least two weapons that can transform, combine, and/or be placed into any [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] posts, [[5 mm post]]s littered all over their bodies, essentially an updated version of the [[Powerlinx]] system. Another line-wide feature is battle-damaged paintjobs to fit with the gritty "war" aspect. Returning to this toyline are [[Micromaster]]s, which are bundled in two packs, replacing the Legends Class of the last half-decade, and are now able to combine into large weapons as well as transform into their vehicle form. This size class is also used for Soundwave's minions, who can turn into cassettes or be used as a shield with fold-out pegs. Replacing the [[Prime Master]]s from [[Power of the Primes (toyline)|the last toyline]] are "[[Battle Master]]s", small [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]]-type figures that can combine with other weapons and figures. They include additional "Fire Blast" effect pieces that can be placed onto other weapons included with other size classes, as well as hardpoints on the figures themselves to simulate being 'shot' or on the back of vehicles to simulate "rocket boosters" or "speed", depending on the effect part. Some Deluxe Class figures are classified as "Deluxe Weaponizers", which can be disassembled into multiple weapons to be used in the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. Leader Class figures are very similar to ''Power of the Primes'', in which smaller figures come with additional armor that can be be added to vehicle mode or robot mode to increase their size to become the height of a Leader Class figure.

'''In regard to ''Transformers Legends'' events, the Insecticons are our way in!'''

==Synopsis==
The [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] break away from [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and go on a worldwide eating binge. Their consumption of {{w|genetically modified food|GM crops}} causes them to grow to enormous size and power. The [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s team up to stop the Insecticons before they hatch a brood of super-clones that will ravage the entire planet.

A worldwide search roots out the Insecticons from their hiding places and disperses their energy into the atmosphere before the clones can hatch.

==Notes==
* This event was originally scheduled to run from December 21 to [[December 27]], but unexpected demand caused it to be shut down on its second day due to server overload. The event resumed 18 days later.
*As a result of the lacuna, several players received double rewards. Others received no or incomplete rewards. Oops! An auspicious beginning.
* The plot of this event bears a more-than-passing resemblance to the 1985 cartoon episode "[[The Insecticon Syndrome]]", albeit with some differences.
* Mirage, one of the featured Autobots in this event, went up against the Insecticons in the 1985 cartoon episode "[[Traitor]]".
* Despite an event whose premise involved an Autobot/Decepticon team-up, both of the Raid cards (representing the "player's" side) were Autobots.
* Several (but not all) of the cards in this event depict the Insecticons in different colors from normal. Powered-up versions? Clones? It's unclear. (But it's probably clones.)

Shadowcaster

2018-10-07T23:46:19Z

Awsm57: /* Notes */

{{factions|decepticon}}
:''Shadowcaster is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: Wings Universe|Wings Universe]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:ComingStorm3 shadowcaster.jpg|right|thumb|upright=2.5]]
'''Shadowcaster''' was the apparent leader of a [[Decepticon]] base located somewhere in the heart of Decepticon territory, and was the target of a joint mission by the [[Elite Guard]] [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] and the [[Strike Team]].

His leadership, if he truly had one, didn't last long.

==Fiction==
===''Wings Universe''===
Shadowcaster was the subject of a rather swift yet brutal assassination. The Combaticons had been brought on board to "decapitate" the growing Decepticon insurgency by any means necessary. Shadowcaster found out the hard way that included smoking out Decepticon leaders by bombing their hideout and shooting them in the head... all while observing the chaos from a safe distance. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 3}}

Perhaps Shadowcaster got the last laugh though, as his base and his leadership role were a trap set by the Decepticon Warlord [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]] to lure the Combaticons away from the Elite Guard for his own twisted purposes. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 4}}

==Notes==
*Shadowcaster would appear to share the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] body type.
*Similarly, one of Shadowcaster's soldiers is also very much similar to the Seekers from G1. Actually, he looks a lot like [[Thrust (BWII)|Thrust]] despite the editor insisting they are indeed separate characters.

Aimless

:''Aimless is a [[Decepticon]] [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:AimlessDucking.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Because his other name was way too weird.]]
'''Aimless''' should have been called "Useless". This [[Nebulan]]'s success rate when he tries to hit a target is unknown, because that would require him to, you know, actually ''try''. Together with his [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] partner [[Misfire (G1)|Misfire]], he's a danger to himself and others. Mostly others.

Aimless's nature varies. In some universes he's an organic Nebulan; in others he's a robotic Cybertronian.

==Fiction==
===''The Transformers'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[Milt Jamin]] (English), [[Takao Ishii]] (Japanese)|[[Gerd Wiedenhofen]] (German)}}
Aimless was a member of the [[Hive (G1)|Hive]], the despotic rulers of [[Nebulos]]. When the Hive allied themselves with a group of [[Decepticon]]s, he became the Targetmaster partner of Misfire. Aimless introduced himself to his new Decepticon partner with the line, "I live only to destroy our mutual enemies!" He then transformed into gun mode, dropped to the ground, and started randomly firing in all directions. After Misfire picked him, he told him that he thought the name Aimless "suited him better."

{{note|This perhaps suggests that Aimless was informing Misfire not of his intentions, but rather of his name: "I, Live Only To Destroy Our Mutual Enemies." Either that, or it's some bizarre scripting error or editing gaffe.}}

When the partners first engaged in battle together, Misfire criticized Aimless's lack of marksmanship. (He's one to talk!) Aimless responded that this was to be expected, as he was new at this. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}} Aimless and the Decepticon Targetmasters returned to Cybertron with the key to the Plasma Energy Chamber and Zarak's powerful new city-bot, [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. Once the plasma energy was released, however, Scorponok was struck by the power and launched into deep space with Aimless and the other Decepticons still on board. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

===Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics===
[[Image:Decepticon_targetmasters_brothers_in_armor.jpg|left|300px|"I'm Only Appears Chest-Up Buried At the Bottom Of A Large Groupshot!" "I think Aimless suits you better."]]
Aimless was a construction engineer on [[Nebulos]] who turned laziness into a business opportunity by accepting kickbacks for doing substandard work on the job. After several buildings under his supervision collapsed in a highly public manner, Aimless considered a career change. He signed up with the Decepticons while Lord [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]] and [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]] were in favor on Nebulos, undergoing the bio-mechanical engineering process necessary to become a [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]]. He was partnered with Misfire and was involved in an ill-fated attempt to keep the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] from escaping their imprisonment, which spilled out into the streets of [[Koraja]]. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

===Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====
[[File:Pre-Targetmasters.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|left]]
Aimless and his five friends were refugees, having fled their home planet of [[Master (planet)|Master]] when [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] and the Decepticons began an all-out siege on the world. They were being chased through space in their starship by the Decepticons when they came across the Battleship Maximus. [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]] gave them safe haven aboard his starship, and the Master citizens attempted to show their gratitude by removing the deadly plasma energy bombs Fortress was trying to dispose of. Their efforts came too late, however, as the plasma energy bombs exploded aboard their ship in space, bathing everyone nearby with energy. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}

Although they survived the explosion, for Aimless and two of his fellow refugees, the ending was not a happy one. The plasma energy somehow fused each of them to a different one of the Decepticon trio who had been attacking them, creating Targetmasters. Aimless was now the eternal partner of Misfire and became a member of the Decepticon army at his side. As a Decepticon, Aimless was forced to join in the invasion of his own planet. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)}}

[[File:HM31 Misfire robot mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|It looks like he's shooting lasers out of his breasts.]]
In a battle for the data of the [[Master Sword]], Aimless bonded with Misfire to fight the Autobots. {{Storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} Aimless again joined his partner when the Autobot Targetmasters landed on Master to investigate the possible presence of the Decepticons. The two forces battled each other, and the Decepticons were able to wash the Autobots away in a surge of water from an elevated lake. The two forces battled each other, and the Decepticons were able to wash the Autobots away in a surge of water from an elevated lake. The Decepticon Targetmasters returned to the other Decepticons to report of their triumph over the Autobot Targetmasters. When the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] sneaked into the Decepticon's hidden cavern base, the Targetmasters were there to greet them. A battle ensued that the Autobot Targetmasters joined, but the Decepticons eventually retreated. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}}

[[File:HM 31 Targetmasters stand watch.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|left]]
[[Caliburst (G1)|Caliburst]], [[Blowpipe (G1)|Blowpipe]], and Aimless were later assigned to watch out for any intruders, and they spotted the Autobot Targetmasters. They went off to report their presence to the other Decepticons and joined their larger partners in attacking the Autobots. During battle, the Decepticons were distracted by an aircraft sent by the natives of Master, allowing the Autobots to escape. Nevertheless, the Decepticons were soon sicced on a Master city, killing the natives. The natives fought back with aircraft, and their combined efforts with the Autobots forced the lesser Decepticons to flee into Scorponok's [[transtector]]. After a showdown between the Zarak Shield and the Master Sword, the Decepticons left Master for [[Earth]]. {{Storylink|Operation: Destroy the Decepticons}}

Aimless played part in the decisive battle with the Autobots at the [[Arctic|North Pole]]. When the [[Final Formation]] put an end to Scorponok's machinations on Earth, the Decepticons retreated into space. {{Storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

====''The Headmasters'' manga====
[[File:HM issue 7 Decepticon Targetmasters.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Aimless and the Decepticon Targetmasters attempted to disrupt the Autobots' efforts to put out a blazing fire on Earth. The Autobots' split focus left them vulnerable, until the Battleship Maximus extinguished the entire fire in one sweep. [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Ricochet]] and [[Artfire]] then turned their full attention on Aimless and his allies, driving them from the scene. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 7|The Headmasters #7}}

====''Legends'' comic====
Years prior to becoming a Targetmaster, Aimless was one of six Master warriors who were kidnapped by Scorponok and exposed to plasma energy, removing their ability to speak. When Scorponok returned to Master in 2011 and tried to recapture them and continue his experiments, the six of them fled from the planet. {{storylink|Mutant Targetmaster Birth Chapter}}

In [[2021]], Aimless and the Decepticon Targetmasters were battling their Autobot counterparts in space when Scorponok detonated a [[black hole]], creating a plasma energy shockwave that caused the smaller Targetmasters to vanish. {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Prologue}} When they were located in the void of space, the six had been supercharged with plasma energy and gathered together into a clump of guns. The Decepticon Targetmasters attempted to transport them into the [[Legends World]] using [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]], but the plasma energy was too dangerous and Trion instead scattered them across the dimension. {{storylink|Mutant Targetmaster Birth Chapter}} Furthermore, the combination of plasma energy with the Legends World's unique energies mutated the Targetmasters, granting them new powers. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 45|Bonus Edition Vol. 45}}

Upon rediscovering Aimless, Misfire found that his gun mode was now capable of manipulating time, an ability he used to see into the future and get rich off of trading stocks and gambling. When [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] and [[Shaoshao Li]] came to seize Aimless, Misfire fired him at Hot Rod only to miss and hit Shaoshao, reverting her age to that of an infant. Misfire then tried to defeat Hot Rod by predicting his future moves, but remained so shoddy at aiming that he was defeated regardless, and he and Aimless were taken into custody. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 52|Bonus Edition Vol. 52}} [[Slugslinger (G1)|Slugslinger]] later stole Aimless and combined him with Caliburst and Blowpipe into the [[Plasma Energy Chamber (Legends)|Plasma Energy Chamber]], a mighty plasma energy gun with which he planned to eliminate all other Transformers. He was defeated by Shaoshao, [[Sue Faireborn]] and [[White Lune]], liberating the three Targetmasters. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 55|Bonus Edition Vol. 55}}

===Ladybird Books continuity===
On planet Nebulos, all energy was derived from pulsar emanations concentrated at the north pole instead of blanketed solar energy. When the Decepticon Targetmasters learned of this, [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] order Aimless to engineer a means of capturing this energy. Under Misfire's supervision, Aimless planned the construction of a massive tetrahedron to act as an energy interceptor. Unfortunately, the Autobots sabotaged his work after it was completed, and Aimless was forced to start over, designing a sturdier interceptor. His new tri-dome interceptor was now defended by [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] and the entire Decepticon army instead of a meager guard force. However, the seemingly steady foundation of solid ice was melted by the Autobots' thermal lasers, reducing it to slush and once again destroying the interceptor. {{storylink|Decepticons at the Pole}}

===''Titans Return'' marketing material===
Aimless was an ancient [[Titan Master]] partnered with the Decepticon [[Misfire (G1)|Misfire]]. He granted his partner the ability to produce an ultra-powerful ion particle fireblast; unfortunately, he lacked the power to improve Misfire's aiming capabilities. <ref>''Titans Return'' Aimless/Misfire packaging bio</ref>

:Aimless came packed with his larger Targetmaster companion, Misfire. He's molded in blue and gray plastic, with the only paint application in his face. Basically, like almost all Targetmaster guns, he transforms by folding his legs. But unlike others, his legs are not on a hinge but a joint, and it's prone to break over time from stress. Be lucky if you find a complete one these days.

War for Cybertron: Siege

2018-10-05T02:43:53Z

Awsm57: /* Battle Masters */

{{nav-WarForCybertronSiege}}

[[File:WFC-Siege-Poster-ArkLaunchAutobots.jpg|thumb|250px]]

'''''War For Cybertron: Siege''''' is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' toyline, and the first portion of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.

First revealed in mid-[[2018]] at [[San Diego Comic-Con]], ''War for Cybertron: Siege'', in keeping with the installments of the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'', features a line-wide [[gimmick]]: weaponry. Most Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader Class figures each come with at least two weapons that can transform, combine, and/or be placed into any [[C.O.M.B.A.T.]] posts, [[5 mm post]]s littered all over their bodies, essentially an updated version of the [[Powerlinx]] system. Another line-wide feature is battle-damaged paintjobs to fit with the gritty "war" aspect. Returning to this toyline are [[Micromaster]]s, which are bundled in two packs, replacing the Legends Class of the last half-decade, and are now able to combine into large weapons as well as transform into their vehicle form. This size class is also used for Soundwave's minions, in which they can turn into cassettes or can be used as a shield with the peg that can be folded out. Replacing the [[Prime Master]]s from [[Power of the Primes (toyline)|the last toyline]] are "[[Battle Master]]s", small [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]]-type figures that can combine with other weapons and figures. They include additional effect pieces that can be placed onto other weapons included with other size classes, as well as hardpoints on the figures themselves to simulate being 'shot' or on the back of vehicles to simulate "rocket boosters" or "speed", depending on the effect part. Some Deluxe Class figures are classified as "Deluxe Weaponizers", which can be disassembled into multiple weapons to be used in the C.O.M.B.A.T. system. Leader Class figures are very similar to ''Power of the Primes'', in which smaller figures come with additional armor that can be be added to vehicle mode or robot mode to increase their size to become the height of a Leader Class figure.

Awsm57: /* Battle Chargers */

[[Image:Transformers RPMs logo.jpg|center]]

'''Robot Powered Machines''', or "'''R.P.M.'''"s, are a multifaceted line of nonstandard action toys within the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline. It includes a few different sublines that accomplish different things, but all of them are biased heavily towards the vehicle mode.

The R.P.M.s line was later replaced by the ''[[Speed Stars]]'' brand.

==Radio Controlled==
[[Image:ROTF RPMradiocontrol OptimusPrime.jpg|right|300px|thumb|When you wake up and your legs are gone, you ''know'' it was a rough night!]]
Each Radio Controlled R.P.M. comes with a vehicle and a handheld RC controller with dual joysticks.

==Battle Chargers==
[[Image:ROTFSideswipe BattleChargers 2009.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The funny part? This almost looks better than the original [[Battlecharger]]s.]]
Each Battle Charger is a superdeformed vehicle that, when pulled back, will dash forward. This will cause the roof of the vehicle to flip up, revealing a robot mode.

Each Mini-Vehicle is a Hot Wheels-styled car with a sculpted image of the robot mode on the bottom of the vehicle. They come in single packs or versus sets, and the packaging has a window in the back so customers can see the robot mode. Also available is a track playset compatible with Mini-Vehicles, featuring [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]].

==Notes==
*Large amounts of Robot Powered Machines product, including Combat Series 2, Battle Series 2, the Metal Heroes Series, the Allspark Series, the Cyber Hunt Series, the Revealers Series, the N.E.S.T. Global Alliance Series, the Robot Rider Series, and the Stunticon Series were either shipped in extremely small quantities or not at all to stores in the United States. Just what did come out where in the world is difficult to determine - owing to the [[fandom]]'s general apathy for the toyline - but various reports have indicated that at least some of these came out in Asia, Europe, Canada, and Mexico.
*Owing to the above, the early waves of ''Transformers''-themed ''[[Speed Stars]]'' are made up of tweaked versions of "unreleased" RPMs, though the Speed Stars versions all have greatly reduced paint applications in comparison.
*Robot Powered Machines is pretty obviously meant to share its initials with "{{w|revolutions per minute}}".

General Grievous

2018-09-17T22:49:15Z

[[Image:Generalgrievous-packageart1.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Sadly, he's ''still'' not as badass as he was in ''[[Wikia:starwars:Star Wars: Clone Wars|Star Wars: Clone Wars]]'']]
General '''Grievous''' has trained in the art of lightsaber combat with the evil [[Dooku|Count Dooku]]. He is skilled in several unorthodox fighting techniques, such as a "furious four-[[lightsaber]] assault", and has used these skills to cut down several [[Jedi]] Knights. Now, Grievous changes into Wheel Bike mode to hunt and destroy [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]] and the remaining Jedi.<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' General Grievous / Wheel Bike package</ref> He is the leader of the [[Confederacy|Separatist]] army, which apparently has lots of [[battle droid|droids]].<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' Obi-Wan Kenobi / Jedi Starfighter package</ref> We're repeatedly told that he's much-feared, and he is guarded by his personal bodyguards, the [[MagnaGuard]]s.<ref>''Crossovers'' MagnaGuard / MagnaGuard Starfighter package</ref>

*'''General Grievous to Grievous Starfighter''' (Star Wars, 2008/2009)
**''Accessories:'' Missile, 2 lightsabers (green & blue)

:As the name suggests, this version of General Grievous transforms into [[Wikia:starwars:Soulless One|his own starfighter]]. It comes with two lightsabers, one green and one blue, and a hand-held blaster with spring-loaded missile. The blaster doesn't fit in either of his hands very well, and it can't be stored anywhere while Grievous is in robot mode. While the arms and legs have excellent articulation, his waist is held in place due to the large amount of [[kibble]] connected at the waist locking into his back during transformation. His head can turn from side to side. Like all of the ''Crossovers'' figures, it does not come with a pilot mini-figure, but still has an opening cockpit with space for one, specifically the Grievous mini-figure from the previous mold of the character.

: This toy was first available in 2008 in blue and white packaging, and was later re-released in 2009 in new red and white packaging that also adds an apostrophe to the toy's name, making it "Grievous' Starfighter".

*'''General Grievous to Grievous' Starfighter''' (2011)

:Part of the first wave of a smaller, simpler class of ''Crossovers'' toys, this new Grievous mold also transforms into his personal starship. In starship mode, his landing gear are permanently extended. In robot mode, it features a simpler transformation and is the first transforming Grievous to have four arms, each armed with a retractable lightsaber. Due to his transformation, the arms share a common upper arm. Because of his retractable lightsaber gimmick, Grievous doesn't have real hands—only barely noticeable sculpted detail at the end of his arms. He features a panel on his chest (one that is similar to the ones found on class III Darth Vader/Anakin's turbine cannons) which flips up to act as a handle for class III figures to hold him in ship mode as a weapon (though it ends up just looking like he's just holding a starfighter).

It features a new head, though the lightsabers are simply repainted from Saesee and the mini pilot is repackaged from the first Obi-Wan Transformer. The figure does not feature the nifty flip-down battle-mask that Saesee had.

:This mold was also retooled to make [[Darth Vader|Anakin Skywalker]], [[Plo Koon]], [[Ahsoka Tano]] and [[Kit Fisto]]'s Jedi Starfighters.

*'''Obi-Wan Kenobi to Jedi Starfighter''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Lightsaber

:This Obi-Wan toy is a based on the Anakin Skywalker version of the Delta-7 Jedi Starfighter mold, which had it [[retool]]ed to place the astromech droid in the middle of the craft. His paint layout is similar, but different to that of his original Delta-7 version, and he has a new headsculpt based on Obi-Wan's appearance in the ''Clone Wars'' series. His hands are also newly molded to both be open (previous uses of the mold featured the left hand as a closed fist and the right in a "Force pose"). In addition, Obi-Wan does not come with the hyperspace ring included with all other uses of the mold, and thus his one lightsaber cannot be stored in vehicle mode. Unlike the other toys, it does not come with an Obi Wan figure.

**''Accessories:'' 2 lightsabers

:Part of the first wave of a smaller, simpler [[size class]] (Similar to the Cyberverse Commander class) of ''Crossovers'' toys, this Obi-Wan is a new mold which, like the 2010 version, transforms into a modified Delta-7 Jedi Starfighter. He features a simplified transformation and two blue lightsabers. The two lightsabers can be stored in small brackets within the rear flaps of his vehicle mode, however the blades of the sabers stick out straight forward to look like laser fire. He features a panel on his chest (one that is similar to the ones found on class III Darth Vader/Anakin's turbine cannons) which flips up to act as a handle for class III figures to hold him in ship mode as a weapon( though it ends up just looking like he's just holding a starfighter).

:This mold was retooled into [[Darth Vader|Anakin Skywalker]] and [[Saesee Tiin]].

:A retool of the first smaller class Anakin Skywalker toy, this new Obi-Wan again transforms into an Eta-2 Actis interceptor. He comes with two lightsabers. He still features the weapon handle in his chest. The head sculpt is the same as the one used on the smaller Delta-7 Obi-Wan figure.

:This mold was also retooled into [[Darth Vader]].

Frenzy (Movie)

Awsm57: /* Bumblebee */

{{factions|decepticonfilm|minicon}}
{{disambig3|Frenzy}}
:''Frenzy is a [[Decepticon]]-allied [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Movie frenzy.png|right|300px|thumb|"They are all laser-guided and I get CRAZY if you touch them!"]]
'''Frenzy''' is small, sneaky, skittering and single-minded. His hyper-active twitching and lightning-speed gibbering in [[Cybertronian languages|his own tongue]] belie incredible espionage and sabotage skills, but it is in causing chaos and carnage that Frenzy truly excels. This creepy little abomination is the best there is at what he does, and approaches his tasks with a level of sinister glee that make it hard to deter him from a course of action once he has settled upon it.

Frenzy is exceptionally hard to kill, due to the fact that he possesses a de-centralized, modular nervous system. In essence it means that even if he suffers critical injuries—such as getting his head severed, which seems to be a not-infrequent problem for him—he can continue to function. In addition to this, he is equipped with a hyper-reactive [[Trans-scan|trans-scanning]] and reformatting system that allows him to totally reconfigure his alternate mode with ridiculous speed, meaning that he can be something one minute, and something completely different the next. Although this is something which he does regularly anyway, it also works regardless of what state of disrepair he may be in, making it quite the challenge to keep track of him.<ref>Frenzy's profile in [[Transformers Comic issue 7]], which was re-worked from his entry in ''[[Transformers: The Movie Guide]]''. Unsurprisingly, it dropped that book's bizarre claim that Frenzy was "quiet" and "not very talkative".</ref>

==Fiction==
===Movies===
====''Transformers'' film====
{{voiceactor|[[Reno Wilson]] (English)|[[Zhang Yaohan]] (Chinese)}}

[[Image:Readingisfundamental.jpg|left|180px|thumb|This is the only newspaper in the country that is not afraid to tell the truth: that everything is just fine.]]

A skittering little spaz, Frenzy smuggled himself aboard [[Air Force One]] disguised as a CD player boom-box. He made his way to the lower decks, carried by an [[Tracy|unsuspecting flight attendant]] who was on a vital mission to the storage area to "wrangle up some Ding-Dongs" for the [[President of the United States|President]]. Once left alone, he got into the server area and began to work his magic, simultaneously hacking the national database and uploading a virus, re-attempting the hack that [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] had tried at the [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base|SOCCENT Base]] in [[Qatar]] earlier. This attempt was discovered by government agent [[Maggie Madsen]], and the defense network was shut down in order to halt the hack. Frenzy was so pissed he slammed his head into the screen, but he'd managed to finish uploading the virus, which would later shut down global communications, and got a little bit of info on what he was looking for.

[[Image:Frenzy armed.JPG|right|250px|thumb|Not someone you'd want to meet in a dark alley...or a well-lit one, for that matter.]]

He was discovered by Secret Service agents, whom he quickly dispatched with his disc-blade launcher before hiding away in boom-box form again. When Air Force One landed, he escaped through the landing gear, slipping into the awaiting Decepticon [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. (Real good job keeping an eye out, Secret Service.) After [[:Image:Frenzy_movie_bird.JPG|flipping the military the bird]] and bitching about how the "stupid insects" shot at him, he informed Barricade of his new discovery: [[Archibald Witwicky|the Witwicky man]] who had suspiciously displayed knowledge of Cybertronian writing. After a quick [[Yahoo]] web search using Barricade's on-board police department laptop, Frenzy determined their next target...a human called "[[Sam Witwicky|LadiesMan217]]" who was in possession of the Witwicky man's glasses, which in turn could lead them to the <s>Precious</s> [[AllSpark]].

When Barricade was forced to go to robot mode in order to handle [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], he released Frenzy to chase the humans the [[Autobot]] was guarding. Frenzy tackled his primary target and even managed to get his pants off (Kinky!), but [[Mikaela Banes|the female human]] attacked him with a reciprocating saw she'd found and cut off his head. To add insult to injury, LadiesMan217 punted the Decepticon's head away. It was actually to Frenzy's benefit, however, as he landed not too far from the female's purse, which had spilled when Bumblebee had dumped them out earlier. Still alive and ambulatory despite losing most of his body mass, he speared and scanned the female's cell phone, changed his form to match it, and hid out in her purse.

[[Image:Frenzy head.JPG|left|200px|thumb|"What is it, Frenzy?" "STARSCREAM! SEND REINFORCEMENTS! I'M UNDER ATTACK BY AQUATIC LIFEFO—" *Starscream terminates the link*]]

Frenzy stayed hidden, watching the activities of the humans, including their meeting with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and the [[Autobot|Autobots]]. Taken to LadiesMan217's house, Frenzy poked his head out to better observe, but was frightened by some {{w|Goldfish|aquatic lifeforms}} LadiesMan217 had. Frenzy poked one of his optics out when the glasses were discovered, but remained hidden during the subsequent encounter with [[Sector Seven]]. Arriving at [[Hoover Dam]], Frenzy slipped away...and fell off the side of the dam, landing painfully at the bottom. This allowed him to sneak into the secret Sector Seven operations hangar deep within the dam, where both the AllSpark and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] had been kept for nearly a hundred years. Tapping into the AllSpark's power, he restored his body, then sent a message to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], telling him that their prizes were here. As Starscream mobilized all the Decepticons on [[Earth]], Frenzy set about the task of releasing his master. He went and killed a few technicians, letting him screw with the cryo-stasis machines that kept Megatron entombed, while Starscream destroyed the power lines outside, allowing the Decepticon leader to escape.

[[Image:Frenzycomputer2.jpg|right|200px|thumb|im in ur Sector 7, thawin ur N.B.E.-01]]

As Megatron and Starscream went to assist the rest of the Decepticons in securing the AllSpark, Frenzy remained at the dam to tie up any loose ends. When [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]], [[John Keller (Movie)|Secretary Keller]], Maggie and [[Glen Whitmann]] ran to an ancient storage room to try and get a Morse Code message to the Air Force via shortwave radio, Frenzy followed. While Glen jury-rigged outdated machinery to send the messages, Simmons and Keller tried to shoot the diminutive Decepticon. Frenzy made it into the room via the air ducts and fought the humans with his machine guns and [[shuriken|flying blades]]. One blade, however, ricocheted madly across the room, and took out most of Frenzy's head. With a muttered "oh shit," Frenzy collapsed. {{storylink|Transformers (film)}}

{{note|Frenzy'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 "[[Transformers: Movie Adaptation]]” and "[[Movie Trilogy]]" comics; the activity book "[[Look and Find Transformers]]"; and the storybooks “[[Bumblebee Rumble]],” “[[Optimus Prime Versus Megatron]],” "[[Meet the Decepticons]]," and "[[Transformers: The Movie Storybook]]."}}

Seymour Simmons kept Frenzy's head with his secret stash of stolen Sector Seven material in the basement below his mother's deli. [[Leo Spitz]] reached out to touch it, but Simmons shooed him away, saying it was still radioactive. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}
{{-}}

===Novels===
====''Ghosts of Yesterday''====
Frenzy was a member of the ''[[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis']]'' crew in 1969, when it encountered the human space ship ''[[Ghost 1]]''. He suggested that the ship's obvious Cybertronian influences might be a clue to [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s whereabouts, though [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] was skeptical. Frenzy joined [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] in an attack on the Autobot ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]'' when they found it, against Starscream's wishes. His attempt at a sneak attack from behind on [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] was met with a sturdy punch, and then he had Blackout thrown at him. Blackout subsequently called a retreat. After Optimus left the ''Ark'' on a mission, the Decepticons tried their luck again, and during the space-borne battle, Frenzy and Blackout double-teamed [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]].

When Starscream returned to the Decepticons, but was evasive about what had happened and whether the ''Ghost 1'' crew knew where Megatron was, Frenzy and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] were spectators as he fought with Blackout over the matter. Following Blackout's loss, Frenzy reaffirmed his loyalty to Starscream. They engaged the Autobots in combat again afterwards, and Jazz made swift work of putting Frenzy out of commission, despite the Autobot still being weakened from the earlier fight. Frenzy was presumably retrieved during the later Decepticon retreat. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

====''The Veiled Threat''====
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}
Simmons rigged Frenzy's head up to some wires in the hopes of tapping his brain for clues on how to deal with the Transformers. Of course, Frenzy did not appreciate either Simmons's probing or his helplessness, though he remained confident that one of his fellow Decepticons would free him at some point. When he finally started talking, Simmons tried to get him lucid enough to answer questions, but instead Frenzy attempted to reach a nearby electrical transformer and caused a power surge in the apartment building's wiring. Simmons unplugged Frenzy, but the disaster resulted in him having to move his work to the basement of his mother's deli. There Simmons managed to get more information out of Frenzy, but nothing useful. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}

===IDW movie comics===

While Optimus and his team were being led away, Frenzy spied upon and relayed their coordinates to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], who intended to ambush the group and kill all bar Optimus, as ''Lord'' Megatron intended to deal with the ''traitor'' personally. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

[[File:FrenzyremainsRoSS2.jpeg|thumb|upright=1.5|left]]
After Megatron was killed and the AllSpark destroyed, Starscream returned to the freeway to seek out Barricade, perhaps the only other surviving Decepticon on Earth. When informed that Frenzy had stolen all of Sector Seven's files on their race and most importantly, the AllSpark, Starscream realised that he must secure Frenzy's remains if he were to save all Cybertron. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}

[[File:Simmonsgrabsfrenzyheadalliance3.jpeg|thumb|upright=1.5]]
During Starscream's second attack on Hoover Dam, Sector Seven scientists were moving Frenzy's remains from the alien archives room in which he had been deactivated. Suddenly, Starscream smashed his way in, demanding the humans turn over his compatriot to him, with which they complied. Later, after Starscream returned to [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], he ordered [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] hook Frenzy up to their ship's computer. The retrieved data revealed the source of a lot of Sector Seven's knowledge regarding Transformers as coming from the resurrected [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]]. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}} With the knowledge contained within Frenzy, Starscream was able to build a new AllSpark, though it didn't pan out exactly as he had planned. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}}
A month later, when Starscream returned to get his revenge, Wreckage tore at the Decepticon, and Frenzy's body fell out. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2|Alliance #2}} [[Seymour Simmons]] secretly took the head for himself. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3|Alliance #3}}

Frenzy's head injuries failed to kill him and he remains on guard at the former [[Sector Seven]] base. He also has learnt English, seemingly only so he can threaten you with a messy death.

When [[Mikaela Banes]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] tried to free Optimus from the former Sector Seven base, Frenzy began stalking the human. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} His attempt to shoot her in the back failed, and she declared she'd take him out for good this time. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} She wasn't able to land a blow on him but she had the mental advantage, tricking him into shattering a liquid nitrogen tank and freezing himself to death.

After being pursued by [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], Barricade and Frenzy broke into a secure facility to steal [[NEST]] access codes. Frenzy hacked into the computer, only to be grabbed by Sideswipe, balled up and rolled along the floor to Barricade, who picked him up. Frenzy tried to loudly warn his partner of the Autobot's presence. Barricade threw Frenzy at Sideswipe, who batted the tiny Decepticon back. Kicked around the floor during the subsequent struggle, Frenzy continued jabbering, and gave Barricade the suggestion which allowed him to defeat Sideswipe. The access codes obtained, Barricade carried Frenzy away. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 6}}

==Games==
===''Transformers'' The Game===
On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Frenzy was seen digging through the mangled and twitching chassis of a dead Autobot. It's unlikely he was digging through it to find the AllSpark. Megatron nearly crushed him under his foot. It is entirely possible that he was annoyed with Frenzy.

Frenzy arrived in Tranquility to meet up with [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], possessing information that Starscream said was vital. When Barricade attempted to link up with him, he discovered that Frenzy had been captured by [[Sector Seven|some armed humans]]. Frenzy was held captive in a small SUV (which seemed virtually indestructible) but Barricade eventually rescued him. Barricade later relayed to Starscream that Frenzy had discovered a lead on the AllSpark and Megatron...an artifact in the possession of a human named Sam.

Later, he served as Starscream's intelligence liaison when the Decepticon's Acting-Commander was searching for [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]], jabbering away in his own language. (A translation is NOT subtitled directly, with Frenzy being the only character to NOT speak English in the game. He just wants to be different...or annoying.) {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game}}

*'''Barricade''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-02'''

: Included with the larger Deluxe Barricade is a very out-of-[[scale]] Frenzy (putting him somewhere around 7 feet tall) that folds up to become the larger 'Con's grill in both vehicle and robot mode. It is barely poseable and falls over as easily as Generation 1 [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]].

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:Movie FAB Frenzy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Stupid insects made me look fat.]]
*'''Disc Blast Decepticon Frenzy''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)

: This version of Frenzy transforms into a two-speaker stereo CD/cassette/radio, with "Frenzy 97.7" on the small painted screen and two [[Decepticon]] [[insignia]]s on his radio mode, with one being ''sideways'' due to being used for robot mode. His posable antenna is made of soft plastic and is mounted via [[ball joint]] and socket, although the angle that the antenna is molded at prevents it from straightening up in radio mode. Like other FAB toys, it features an action feature of some sort: A disk (sculpted to look like one of his bladed shuriken-things) ejects from his chest as a pressure-launched [[Missile|projectile]] when a button on his back is pressed.

:''Unlike'' the other [[Fast Action Battlers]] toys, however, Frenzy is fairly inaccurate to the CGI model due to actually having to turn ''into'' something (which the CGI model was not designed to do). It is also completely off-model to the movie radio, which is probably due to the figure having been designed before the character's final alt mode was determined.

====Robot Replicas====
[[Image:Movie RobotReplica Frenzy.jpg|right|200px|thumb|STOP, in the name of love. Or I'll shoot you!]]
*'''Decepticon Frenzy''' (Robot Replicas, 2007)

: The [[Robot Replicas]] non-Transforming action figure of Frenzy is considerably closer to the movie's CGI model, even having blue optics rather than the red of most of his other toys. His left forearm can be replaced with an alternate forearm in its machinegun configuration.

: Frenzy is unique among the Robot Replicas in a couple of ways. First, he is the only one that does ''not'' use the [[Revoltech]]-style joints, owing likely to the thinness of his limbs. Secondly, he is the only one with an "action feature" gimmick of sorts; he comes with a CD-blade accessory that stores in his chest, and pushing a button on his back pops it out. The disc does not shoot very far though, unless you really give the button a firm, swift whack, and even then, you're not gonna get much airtime on it.

====Non-transforming Screen Battles figures====
[[Image:Movie ScreenBattles SamMikaelaFrenzy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|I just want some PANTS. A DECENT PAIR OF PANTS!...and maybe your blood, but mostly the PANTS!]]
*'''First Encounter''' (Screen Battles, 2007)

: This Screen Battles pack features a largely unchanged Deluxe class Barricade figure The only real difference is the Frenzy mini-figure, which is now cast entirely in black plastic, sports ''no'' paint applications and is supposed to be stuck permanently inside Barricade's chest thanks to a new, additional piece of plastic (as a matter of fact, the Frenzy figure is also neither advertised on the packaging nor depicted in the instructions). The only way to free him is to remove all four screws from Barricade's undercarriage, then pry the halves of the car apart and slip Frenzy (and his plastic blockade) out quickly.

:The pack also comes with unposeable figurines of Sam Witwicky in a running pose, a semi-in-scale Frenzy, and Mikaela holding the reciprocating saw she uses to attack him. The set is packaged in a special window box with a diorama depicting the battle between Barricade and Bumblebee. So even though this pack ''technically'' contains ''two'' Frenzy figures, Hasbro put a lot of effort into neutering one of them as good as they could.

:This only applies to the Hasbro version. However, TakaraTomy's Japanese release of the pack features a Barricade that is identical to the single pack version, including an easily removable Frenzy figurine cast in grey plastic with painted red eyes.

:This figure was first revealed during Hasbro's panel at [[BotCon 2009]] and comes with [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. Frenzy is the same size as the other Human Alliance 'assist' figures, but being 4-4½ft tall, is much closer to being on scale with his partner. He has articulation in the neck, shoulders, waist, hips and knees, but the more common red eyes instead of the movie-accurate blue. Frenzy can sit in either of Barricade's seats in vehicle mode (the right of which can become a gun mount on his shoulder), he can stand behind Barricade's head, and can fold up to be stored inside a cavity in Barricade's chest in either mode.

*'''Autobot Jazz vs. Decepticon Frenzy''' (2007)

: Released with ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], this version of Frenzy is the most adorably goofy razor blade death robot you ever saw. For some reason he is colored a dark tan, perhaps to offer some color contrast to his pack-in partner. Like the other first wave movie Decepticons, his design was tweaked to be much more human and less monstrous. He only has two (red) eyes, and he has a wide toothy grin in the middle of his mandibles. His articulation is limited to the shoulders, however his head DOES have limited wiggle room on its own joint.

==Notes==
* An early version of the script featured [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and Frenzy as one and the same character, named "[[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]". He would have infiltrated the CIA headquarters (rather than Air Force One) in the form of a "portable stereo" and then transformed (and size-shifted) into a Humvee for his escape.<ref name="early">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>
*Frenzy had three working names; '''Boombot''' was first, '''Soundwave''' was second, and '''Soundbyte''' was third.
*Frenzy is the only Decepticon in the movie with blue optic lighting, though most of his released toys have them painted red. It's possible this was a late-ish change, as even the [[Transformers (Glu)|mobile game]] has him sporting red optics.
*Frenzy is the only Decepticon in the movie whose whole robot mode was created as a real physical puppet for filming, used in certain shots aboard Air Force One. (They did make the lower half of frozen Megatron as a set piece, plus [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]'s head and tail, but that's not quite the same thing.) He and Bumblebee are the only Transformers in the film to have full-body robot mode props.
*Extra pieces of the Frenzy puppet, specifically some fingers, were used to make the charred prop of the "dead" [[Nokia-bot]].
*Frenzy (or at very least, a robot who looked ''just'' like him) was most certainly ''not'' in a cage in the back of the [[Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit]]. You were seeing things! It was swamp gas! No, wait—a weather balloon! But definitely ''not'' a robot alien from outer space!
[[Image:Frenzystereo.jpg|right|150px|thumb|According to user reviews, Frenzy is terrible for XM.]]
*Frenzy's robot mode was designed without an exact alternate mode in mind. It was known he was going to be a boom-box, but the designers had to produce a robot mode before the make/model was finalized.
*Frenzy transforms into a real on-the-market GPX portable stereo boombox... in the movie, at least. You know you want one. (His [[Fast Action Battlers]] toy, and various storybooks, depict him as made-up stereo models.)
*Frenzy's dialog includes some actual English: "Witwicky", "ladiesman217", "Go, go, go!", "Surprise!", "Where is it?!", "Yes(X5), Megatron(X3)!", "Oh! Megatron melting." and the ever-famous "Oh shit." The rest is all Cybertronian, which according to Michael Bay is primarily rapidly-spoken Tutankhamen.
[[Image:Moviefrenzy blade.jpg|right|170px|thumb|Doesn't look like a CD. Maybe it's one of those new-fangled Blu-ray disks?]]
*Frenzy's blades, before unfolding, are disguised as CDs. Granted, most CDs don't have hinge points near their center.
*According to his profile card, Frenzy weighs 110 kilograms (242.5 pounds). How much of that mass would be discernible to a human lifting his stereo mode remains unclear. However, a human did indeed carry his stereo mode without much effort in the movie.
*A picture of Frenzy appears on the screen of [[Photon T-34]]. Judging from his pose and the readouts on the screen, Photon did something to slag him off.
*In 2011, Frenzy was revealed to be a [[Mini-Con|Minicon]] on Hasbro's website.<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/characters/frenzy Frenzy's profile in the Vector Sigma Data Tracks]</ref>
*Although the Hungarian dubbing of the movie, at least according to cast lists revealed on-line prior to the dub's release, had a voice actor attached to Frenzy, he never spoke in this language in the dub. His few intelligible lines were either left in English, or outright omitted. The Czech version also neglected to dub his lines. This is strange, since in the movie's subtitled theatrical run, these bits actually were translated, yet the dubs (which were produced for the later DVD release), somehow missed them.
*Hints of Frenzy's presence at the N.E.S.T. base attack in [[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]] are seen in the form of his razor discs scattered throughout the walls and ceiling at the end of the ride.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Frenzy''' (フレンジー ''Furenjī'')
*''Mandarin:'' '''Jí Fēng''' (Taiwan, 疾瘋, roughly "Frenzy", lit. "Sick and Crazy" or "Fast and Crazy"), '''Míluàn''' (Mainland China,迷乱, "Frenzy")
*''Hungarian:'' '''Tomboló''' ("Ravager")

:''Drift is an [[Autobot]] and former [[Decepticon]] from the [[IDW Generation 1 continuity|IDW portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:AHM 06 CoverA.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|While you were out partying, I studied THE BLADE.]]
'''Drift''' was not always an Autobot. In fact, he slaughtered quite a few when he was known as the Decepticon '''Deadlock'''. But Deadlock's eyes were opened to what the Transformers' war had become when he stumbled across a lost faction of neutral Transformers long since forgotten. He discarded his ruthless ways, abandoned his guns for swords, and changed his name and appearance.

When Drift returned to the Transformer war to make right what he put wrong, he was a bot of few words and disciplined action. He since went on to be an enthusiastic spiritualist and a self-punishing crusader, all in an attempt to get away from the nasty parts of his personality that are still lurking within him. It doesn't matter what his personality is because with his Decepticon past, Drift isn't well-liked or trusted by [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|a few]] of the Autobots and [[Hellbat (Victory)|some of]] the Decepticons think he's just ''lying'' about having changed. This hits Drift more than you might think because at the end of the day, despite his loner attitude, Drift ''really'' just wants to be part of something.

In addition to the two swords kept in his hip scabbards, Drift carries a legendary [[Great Sword]]. An ancient weapon that predates modern civilization, the Great Sword draws upon the [[spark]] energy of its bearer, and as such must only be used in the most dire of circumstances.

{{quote|We're going about this the wrong way, '''all''' of us! After countless centuries of fighting ... the Autobots are a '''step''' away from what we were when all this '''started.'''

==Fiction==
===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
{{first|[[All Hail Megatron issue 5|''All Hail Megatron'' #5]]; [[Drift issue 1|''Drift'' #1]] (as Deadlock)}}

{{ongoing}}
[[File:Drift2-renamed.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|"Eh....Inferno, tell to Death Blade that if he calling me that again, his name will become DEATH BOT!"]]
Drift was originally a homeless Cybertronian, living on the streets and stealing energon to survive. The hopeless 'bot was befriended by [[Gasket]] {{storylink|Drift issue 2|Drift #2}} but otherwise had no one. During one [[circuit booster|drug trip]] in the [[Dead End (place)|Dead End]], he was assaulted by [[Sonic (G1)|Sonic]] and [[Boom]], who were abducting homeless people for money. Drift was rescued by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Orion Pax]], who brought him to [[Ratchet (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ratchet]]'s secret clinic in [[Rodion]]. Ratchet saved Drift's life, and told the young robot that he could achieve great things in his life if he tried— he could just ''tell'' Drift was destined for something special. {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 1: Post Hoc|Post Hoc}}

Drift would soon learn what that was, after Gasket was killed by Autobot law enforcement after trying to stop them from executing a thief. Drift exploded with rage, grabbed the nearest gun and killed them all. His knack for violence attracted the attention of the Cybertronian underground, who trained Drift as a killer. Amongst this group, Drift realized the level of corruption in the [[Senate]], and a recruitment rally held by [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] drew Drift in with his talk of equality. Megatron singled Drift out of the crowd, claiming to have heard great things of him, and asked him to join the Decepticons to fight for a better Cybertron. Drift agreed and, after being was hailed by the crowd, was renamed Deadlock by Megatron. {{storylink|Drift issue 2|Drift #2}} Drift rose to become the second-in-command of [[Turmoil]], garnering a reputation as a vicious and merciless fighter. {{storylink|Drift issue 1|Drift #1}}

During their time with [[Megatron (RID)|Gigatron]], Turmoil and Deadlock crashed on a desert world and investigated a nearby stone fortress to find a way out. The two of them would go on to massacre the inhabitants before leaving, though not before Deadlock recorded the presence of a Stone Army on the planet. {{storylink|Drift - Empire of Stone issue 2|Empire of Stone #2}} {{storylink|Drift - Empire of Stone issue 3|Empire of Stone #3}}

[[File:Drift1-Deadlock.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Deadlock prefers to pose so his legs don't block any of the action.]]
Much later, on the planet [[Dabola]], Deadlock led a battalion against an Autobot squadron. The [[Sunstreaker (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Autobots' leader]] called a retreat, and Deadlock's team celebrated. This was spoiled when [[Not Carnivac|one of the soldiers]] pointed out that Deadlock had been ordered to merely observe, and once again had disobeyed orders. When the soldier threatened to inform Turmoil of Deadlock's disobedience, Deadlock killed him. Claiming Turmoil was too cautious and that it was time for new leadership, he called for the other soldiers to follow him, but they summarily captured him and brought him to Turmoil. Turmoil used a stasis lock to trap him in [[robot mode]] and attempted to execute him. Deadlock managed to escape, and after initiating an emergency protocol to cover his escape, stole an escape pod and departed the ship.

Deadlock crashed on an unknown planet. After scaling some, he found a massive structure, but before he could explore, a mysterious cloaked figure appeared, named [[Wing (G1)|Wing]]. Wing offered a deal: help him free the slaves, and he would find Deadlock a ship. Deadlock, introducing himself as "Drift," agreed, but first Drift said he needed guns. Together, they jumped some guards and stole their weapons, however a stray blast stripped Wing of his cloak, revealing him to be Cybertronian. Once they jumped into the complex, Drift automatically fled for the ship, abandoning Wing. Despite this betrayal, when Drift was attacked and nearly killed by one the slavers, Wing brought Drift back with him to a new [[Crystal City]], where he was repaired. {{storylink|Drift issue 1|Drift #1}}

[[File:Drift1-rebuilt.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|"We were okay with your old legs. Rest had to go."]]
Wing explained that they were the [[Circle of Light]], a group of Cybertronian scholars and scientists who abandoned the planet during the early days of the war in order to find peace and preserve Cybertron's culture. Wing and Drift were taken to a meeting with Crystal City's leader, [[Dai Atlas (Zone)|Dai Atlas]]. While Drift waited outside, Wing was admonished for bringing a corrupting influence to the city. He was ordered to keep Drift with him at all times. Afterward, Wing brought Drift to an empty room, discarded his swords and asked him what the Decepticon symbol stood for. Drift replied it meant strength, power and conviction, and the belief in the survival of the strongest. Wing offered Drift a chance to earn his freedom by defeating him without guns in combat, but Drift never succeeded. Drift grumbled that he'd never learned to fight without projectile weaponry.

Weeks later, Wing was still dominating Drift. Over time, Drift admitted that Crystal City held everything Drift had ever wanted, while the Decepticons had lost sight of this goal some time ago. Their sparring was interrupted by a summons from Dai Atlas. When they arrived in the control room, he informed them that they had received a coded signal and he thought Drift might be able to translate. Though Drift claimed he could not understand it, that night he snuck out of the city and drove far into the desert. There he met with the slavers, who had used a Decepticon code to offer Drift a deal. The code had been obtained from [[Lockdown (G1)|Lockdown]], a Decepticon sent by Megatron. The deal was simple: hand over the location of the Circle of Light or die. {{storylink|Drift issue 2|Drift #2}}

[[File:Drift4-notdoneyet.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Man, I bet those dumb G2 guys wish they had this kind of endurance.]]
Lockdown reminded "Deadlock" of his high-standing in the Decepticon army. Megatron held Deadlock in high esteem, and by guarding these Transformers Drift stood to lose that. Meanwhile, the head slaver, [[Braid]], required Cybertronian bodies to experiment on, and were willing to take captives from the neutral camp in lieu of Deadlock, in payment for the property he'd damaged earlier. After agreeing to lead the neutral Transformers into an ambush, Drift stumbled back to Crystal City, where he informed the Circle of Light about the pact he'd made with Lockdown and the slavers. Drift argued that they should fight their attackers to preserve their freedom and their way of life, but Dai Atlas sharply disagreed. He would have no fighting at all, even to preserve his own life, and blamed Drift for ruining their civilization. The others did not agree, and supported Drift. A small number of them offered to help fight the slavers while keeping the true number of their population unknown. As they reached the surface with a hastily constructed craft to make it appear as if the Circle of Light had recently crashed there, Drift revealed himself to have been rebuilt head-to-toe to match his new colleagues. With a sword mounted on each hip, Drift announced he was ready. {{storylink|Drift issue 3|Drift #3}}

Soon, Lockdown and the slavers were upon them. After slaying a few of the slavers, Drift realized that he was past the point of no return. Lockdown realized this as well, and asked the former Decepticon why he'd given it all away so easily. "What I've always wanted... the promise of a better Cybertron." But their sparring was interrupted by the death of Wing. Enraged, Drift jumped Braid, Wing's murderer, but he did not accomplish much. He was not as agile a fighter as his late friend, and Braid easily defeated him.

Before the killing blow could be delivered, Crystal City in its entirety rose from the ground, as Wing's death had spurred Dai Atlas into action. With the entirety of the population now fighting the slavers, the tide was quickly turned. Despite his injuries, Drift slew Braid with his Great Sword, while Lockdown, startled at Drift's transformation, cut his losses and left. Though the Circle of Light asked Drift to stay with them, Drift reminded them that he'd promised Wing to return the freed slaves to their homes. Drift was given Wing's Great Sword and given their blessing. {{storylink|Drift issue 4|Drift #4}}

[[File:SpotlightDrift Deadlockisdead.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|He's your horrible fancharacter.]]
Some time after leaving Crystal City and returning the slaves, Drift set off to make a difference in the Autobot/Decepticon Civil War. First, he attempted to free a group of Autobots held captive on the ship he'd previously served aboard. Upon entering Turmoil's ship, his attempt at stealth was successful until the [[Wrecker]]s arrived and blasted their way aboard. Jumping into the battle to assist them, he piqued the interest of a few Autobots. [[Perceptor (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Perceptor]] was injured as Turmoil entered the battle and, recognizing Drift's voice as that of his former lieutenant, attempted to destroy him. However, his attack only resulted in knocking Drift and [[Kup (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Kup]] to another room. The two quickly worked together to program the ship to overload. In his final confrontation with Turmoil, Drift stated his intention was to help, not kill, and left to rescue Perceptor before the ship blew up.

After his arrival on the Autobot ship, Kup invited Drift to join his new unit as an Autobot. {{storylink|Spotlight: Drift}}

[[File:SpotlightDrift-car.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|He thinks he's turning Japanese, he thinks he's turning Japanese, he really thinks so.]]
Now a crew member of the spacecraft ''[[Trion]]'', Drift got to know his new teammate [[Blurr (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Blurr]] over many friendly games of [[Go (game)|Go]]. Perceptor felt he owed a debt to Drift for saving his life, and so devoted much of his time to upgrading himself for more combat-oriented tasks. While Kup discouraged this, Drift stoically accepted Perceptor's new ambitions. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 15#"Lost & Found"|Lost & Found}}

They were soon baited into a Decepticon ambush over [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The ''Trion'''s command codes were hacked due to their being sold to the Decepticons by an Autobot traitor, and, left defenseless, it was forced to crash-land on the desolate landscape of the planet. Eventually, the crew were found by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s unit, who unfortunately proved to be ''also'' stranded. When [[Mirage (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Mirage]] was revealed by [[Jazz (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Jazz]] to have been standing invisibly among them, Drift was the only one who didn't appear surprised. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 5|All Hail Megatron #5}}

[[File:Allhailmegatron6-omgdriftomg.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Seriously, you made this guy up when you were eight.]]
When an advance scout of the [[Insecticon swarm]] discovered the Autobots' base camp, Drift was dispatched to take care of it. Drift stood stock-still as the creature walked up to him, greeting it with a simple, smirking "hello" as the monstrous beast snarled in his face. Finally, he beheaded the scout with a single wave of his sword. A second creature tried to attack Drift from behind, but the smirking Autobot merely tilted his head slightly, allowing Perceptor to kill the beast with some precision sniping. [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] thought the incident was the coolest thing ever. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 6|All Hail Megatron #6}}

After Sunstreaker revealed to [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ironhide]] that he was the traitor, an army of the Swarm came after them. Drift saved Ironhide while Sunstreaker blew up a bridge, killing himself and the Swarm army. Later, Drift visited Ironhide and claimed that the Decepticons had access to the Autobots' systems in a way that Sunstreaker couldn't possibly have. Ironhide asked if this meant there was a second traitor, but Drift replied that there was simply more to the situation than they knew. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 8|All Hail Megatron #8}}

When Mirage was showing some doubt in the Autobot cause, it was Drift who said that, now more than ever, the Autobots should continue being who they are. [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Bumblebee]] insinuated that Drift had no right to say something like that, which started an argument that was only stopped by the return of Optimus Prime. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 9|All Hail Megatron #9}}

[[File:Thundercracker Drift.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Another of your ill-timed jokes, Drift??" {{-}}
"... You and I are enemies now."]]
Drift took part in the battle against the Swarm and joined the others in escaping Cybertron in Omega Supreme. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 10|All Hail Megatron #10}}. On Earth, he battled the Decepticons, and when [[Thundercracker (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Thundercracker]] volunteered to divert the humans' nuclear bomb, Drift attempted to congratulate his former comrade on seeing the light. Thundercracker called him a traitor, slapping Drift's hand away and claiming he was merely following the Decepticons' ''true'' ideal. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 12|All Hail Megatron #12}}

[[File:Drift Drift4drifting.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.2|The Fast and the Furious: ''Tokyo Me'']]
Two years later, Drift was still with the Autobots, hiding on Earth. {{storylink|...For All Mankind}} After Optimus Prime left the Autobots, Drift decided to stay with the larger group, rather than leave with [[Hot Rod (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Rodimus]] and his fellow defectors. Drift celebrated Bumblebee's election with numerous other Autobots. {{storylink|The Hanging Sword}}

At some point Drift traveled to [[Japan]] and did some drift racing all by himself. {{storylink|Drift issue 4|Drift #4}}

Drift was among the Autobots who confronted [[Galvatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Galvatron]] and his troops when they crashed their ship in [[Las Vegas]], bringing with them a [[zombie]] invasion. {{storylink|The Transformers: Infestation issue 1|Infestation #1}} The Autobots and Decepticons worked together to banish the zombies to the [[Dead Universe]], though Drift himself really just stood silently in the background the whole time. {{storylink|The Transformers: Infestation issue 2|Infestation #2}}

Drift listened to [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] tell tales of, presumably, his time in space and accompanied Optimus Prime and many others to Cybertron aboard [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme's]] rocket form. {{storylink|Space Opera—Final Tableaux: Orphans of the Helix|Orphans of the Helix}} Along the way, he and many others tried to listen in on a conversation between Optimus Prime and a captive Megatron. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 1}} Later, Drift accompanied Optimus, Hot Rod, Ironhide, Sunstreaker, and Cliffjumper to Cybertron to confront Galvatron and his army. After a brief skirmish with Galvatron's forces, the landing party returned to the Autobot landing zone. As Drift pointed out that maybe Galvatron was telling the truth and he had been assembling his army for a reason, the Autobots were bathed in a red light... {{storylink| Chaos Part One: Lamentations|Lamentations}} which turned out to be a blast from the orbiting space station [[Kimia Facility|Kimia]], recently commandeered by Galvatron's forces. Optimus Prime handed out orders to combat this new threat, telling Drift and Sunstreaker to establish a base of operations. After the threat of Kimia had ended, Omega Supreme's rocket landed at this base-camp and Rodimus and Drift set out after Optimus Prime and Ironhide, who had left to locate Galvatron. {{storylink|Chaos Part Two: Numbers|Numbers}}

[[File:Drift Chaos Part3 Kings.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb|Thanks to the magical power of [[The Sound of Breaking Glass#Continuity notes|retcon]]... that is the wrong sword.]]
At the crater that Kimia's main weapon had blown into the surface of the planet, Drift accompanied Optimus and the others underground. The Autobots finally intercepted Galvatron and [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] and Optimus Prime demanded their surrender. Galvatron claimed that the core of Cybertron had to be destroyed to save the universe, revealing the glowing [[Darkness (G1)|Heart of Darkness]] within his chest. At this, Drift began spouting gibberish and attacking his comrades in a maddened state, allowing for Galvatron and Jhiaxus to escape. The others attempted to restrain him, but Drift summoned what free will he had left and impaled himself on one of his own blades, much to Ironhide's horror. {{storylink| Chaos Part Three: Kings|Kings}} While Drift survived this, Ironhide told Prime that they'd have to evacuate him immediately for medical attention. {{storylink|Chaos Part Four: Genesis|Genesis}}

[[File:TDOOP-Drift.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|There's no 'Cons in Cyberutopia, and the streets are made of Pocky.]]
After recovering, Drift's near-death experience had reawakened his spiritual side. {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 2: Hangers On|Hangers On}} Optimus Prime's return to Autobot camp three weeks later brought the discovery of a map inscribed inside the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Drift was consumed with the idea that the map gave directions to [[Cyberutopia]], the home of the [[Knights of Cybertron]]. Despite [[Prowl (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Prowl]]'s insistence that the Knights of Cybertron never existed, Drift maintained that he had heard all about the Knights of Cybertron from Dai Atlas, and that the stories were true. Drift's passion for this discovery inspired Rodimus to assemble a team to leave the planet and find the Knights of Cybertron. {{Storylink|Transformers: The Death of Optimus Prime|The Death of Optimus Prime}}

At some point, Drift shed his Earth mode and took a more sleek, Cybertronian form for himself. Rodimus tasked himself with recruiting as many Autobots as he could to take off-planet and find the Knights of Cybertron. He was very good at working a crowd, though admittedly Drift wrote all of his speeches. The guy became the nominal third-in-command because, or so Ratchet said, he told Rodimus what he wanted to hear. Ratchet, older and grumpier than the pre-war days, was on the same ship as Drift and ''really'' had it in for him for everything the 'bot he'd saved had done with the life he'd given him. {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 1: How to Say Goodbye and Mean It|How to Say Goodbye and Mean It}} {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 2: Hangers On|Hangers On}}

Drift himself found a ship for the quest, purchasing the [[Lost Light|U1]] with the help of [[Riptide (G1)|Riptide]] and [[Pipes (G1)|Pipes]] for ''one billion'' [[Shanix]] from a group of [[Mortilus]]-worshipping NAILs during the [[Festival of Lost Light]], from which the ship got it's new name, the ''Lost Light''. {{storylink|Twenty Plus One}}

Before departing, Rodimus and Drift met with Prowl in his office. Prowl asked Rodimus to bring the captive and near-comatose [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] along on the journey, as part of a plan to create [[Phase Sixer]]s for the Autobots. While Drift strongly advised against this course of action, Rodimus was pressured into it by Prowl. Aside from [[Brainstorm (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Brainstorm]] and the [[Duobot]]s, Overlord's presence on board was kept secret from the rest of the crew. {{storylink|The Sound of Breaking Glass}}

After boarding their new craft, the ''[[Lost Light]]'', Drift had counted 208 total Autobots on board. (He also complimented Rodimus's latest speech.) Drift asked why [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ultra Magnus]] appeared displeased (more than usual) with the crew, and Ultra Magnus revealed that he felt most of them were practically criminals. (Drift himself was under high suspicion, though Ultra Magnus didn't say this out loud.) As launch was underway, Drift continued to act as Rodimus's right-hand man, and moments before takeoff, Drift brought to his attention the "[[Whirl (G1)|weapon of mass destruction]]" [[Ratchet (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ratchet]] had apparently brought on board. Something went wrong during takeoff, and the ship [[Quantum generator|quantum jump]]ed before it was ready, placing the ship somewhere random in space, just over a planet. A tear in the hull was expelling Autobots into space, and as the ship stabilized, Drift named off the Autobots they'd lost. {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 1: How to Say Goodbye and Mean It|How to Say Goodbye and Mean It}}

[[File:Drift MTMTE2 positiveenergy.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.90|"Before I begin, I should clarify that I am not actually Japa-nese! I am from Daytona Beachiryu!"]]
As recovery efforts were undertaken, Drift radioed Ratchet a status update and also to tell the medical officer to make sure the medibay was "buzzing with positive energy" so those injured were "guaranteed a speedy recovery!". After he had signed off, Ratchet and [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]] shared their annoyance with Drift's new attitude and...''interesting'' theories about the Knights of Cybertron. Later, when Rodimus was deciding how to address the crew about their current situation, Drift cheerfully suggested he focus on the positive. {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 2: Hangers On|Hangers On}}

After a [[Sparkeater (creature)|Sparkeater]] had thought to have been let loose aboard the ''Lost Light'', Drift accompanied Rodimus' hand-picked team to investigate. As they examined the creature's [[Shock (G1)|first victim]], [[Chromedome (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Chromedome]] confirmed that it was indeed a Sparkeater and Drift opined that this was a dark omen and that they were being "punished" for the horrific things that must have happened on the ship before it came into their possession, much to Ratchet's skepticism.

While the others searched for the creature, Rodimus and Drift tried to figure out how the previous owners of the ''Lost Light'' kept the Sparkeater contained. They figured out that the Sparkeater had been trapped in the engine rooms and fed [[turbofox]]es to keep it docile. After the Sparkeater made its way back to the engine rooms, chasing [[Rung (G1)|Rung]], Drift helped Rodimus put his plan to kill the creature into action. Utilizing a second quantum jump, Rodimus managed to stuff the Sparkeater into the ship's engine block, where it died after being fused into the mechanism. Drift was awed by Rodimus' quick-thinking and ingenuity. {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 3: The Chaos of Warm Things|The Chaos of Warm Things}}

At the "Grand Secret Opening" of [[Swerve's]], Drift shared a drink with Pipes. When the smaller 'bot let on that he was looking for a relationship, Drift offered to introduce him to the similarly diminutive [[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]]... unaware that Tailgate's future self was invisibly listening in via a 'magic window' in time. {{storylink|No Guns, No Swords, No Briefcases}}

[[File:Drift killsDent LifeAfterBigBang.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3|The purpose of Drift is to flip out and kill sick people.]]
Drift accompanied Ratchet and Pipes on an investigation of the remote medical facility [[Delphi]]. Drift was subjected to repeated verbal barbs from Ratchet along the way, despite his efforts to get along with the medic. Once they had finally reached Delphi, Pipes impulsively rammed through a door that had the universal "plague" symbol on it. They found themselves in a morgue full of Transformers that had died from a mysterious "[[Red Rust]]" virus. When Drift noticed a [[Dent|shambling, disease-ridden Transformer]] approaching Pipes from behind, he sprung into action and dismembered the poor soul, much to Ratchet's outrage.

[[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] showed up and explained the situation to them, how five days ago, a mysterious explosion had heralded the outbreak of this rust plague. [[Ambulon]] brought them to [[Pharma (G1)|Pharma]], who had been accidentally locked in a quarantine room when the explosion went off. Suddenly, Pipes began showcasing the symptoms of the virus and staggered toward them, disoriented and terrified. Pipes began vomiting and leaking from his optics, cornering Drift. Ratchet freed Pharma from the quarantine while telling Drift to non-fatally disable Pipes. Drift managed to slip behind his diseased comrade and knock him out with a blow to the head. Ratchet brought Pipes to the emergency ward, seeking to tend to him. By that time, Drift began to exhibit the symptoms as well, assuming he'd been infected by Pipes. {{storylink|Life After the Big Bang}}

[[File:Drift Sparkles Post Hoc.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.6|I sparkle because I'm too beautiful for everything.]]
While being tended to by Ratchet, Drift recalled the [[Shadowplay, Part 1: Post Hoc|time in Rodion before the war]] when the Autobot medic had also been trying to save his life. Drift asked Ratchet to put him out of his misery in the event that the [[Decepticon Justice Division]] showed up, despite having earlier claimed that he wasn't afraid of them. When Pharma was revealed as a traitor, Ratchet had a confrontation with his former friend on Delphi's roof. The stricken Drift made his way up there and managed to save Ratchet from being shot in the back by chopping off Pharma's hands. With Ratchet having obtained a vaccine for the Red Rust virus from Pharma, Drift and the other victims were soon cured. Drift returned to the ''Lost Light'' along with the survivors. {{storylink|How Ratchet Got His Hands Back}}

After the ''Lost Light'' was impacted by a discarded thumb from Metroplex, and was subsequently repaired, Drift attended an award ceremony honoring Brainstorm, Chromedome, and [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]] for their part in saving the ship. He chatted with Rodimus during the celebration, until Whirl and Trailbreaker drew Rodimus's attention. Later, Drift along with nearly everyone on board of the ''Lost Light'' were frozen in place due to one of Brainstorm's experimental weapons accidentally going off. After he recovered, he was awarded a Rodimus Star "for exceptional endurance in the face of adversity." {{storylink|The Reluctant Specialist}}

Drift reported to Rodimus and Ultra Magnus that [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Fortress Maximus]] had locked himself in Rung's office. He was the first to notice both when Rung stared at the camera, and when he tapped on his model of the Ark. After the hostage situation had been resolved, Drift complimented Rodimus on the eulogy he gave for the gravely-injured Rung, even though he hadn't written that particular speech. {{storylink|Interiors}}

[[File:Drift Theophany MTMTEAnnual.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|A fabulous secret [[Titan (IDW)|Titan]] was revealed to Drift the day he held aloft his magic sword and said...]]
En route to [[Theophany]], Drift helped Rodimus prepare for Tailgate's [[Act of Affiliation]] ceremony, and politely pointed out his overuse of the phrase "[['Til all are one]]". When Ultra Magnus interrupted and expressed concern over a lack of radio contact with the Circle Of Light, Drift argued that they knew how to take care of themselves. Later at the ceremony, Rodimus inscribed a message in [[Cybertronian language|Old Cybertronian]] on Tailgate's chest instead of branding him with the Autobot sigil. Drift supposed that it was caused by some sort of possession, which was quickly dismissed by Ratchet as "complete and utter guff".

The ceremony was further interrupted by the arrival of the [[Galactic Council]]'s ship, ''[[The Benign Intervention]]''. Its [[K'gard|captain]] informed them that Theophany was deserted, much to Drift's disbelief. After some red-tape wrangling from Ultra Magnus, Drift and a group of others were allowed to teleport to the planet's surface, where they found Crystal City ruined and abandoned. Confused and agitated, a despairing Drift snapped at [[Rewind (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Rewind]] and decked Whirl after the latter mocked him. He attempted to call out to any of the denizens of Crystal City, but when there was no response, Drift drove one of his swords into the ground in frustration. The ground gave way and sent the Autobots plunging underground, where they found [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]], a slumbering [[Titan (IDW)|Titan]]. This discovery led [[Cyclonus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Cyclonus]] to share his [[Guiding Hand|myth of creation]], which triggered a theological debate between Drift and Ratchet, culminating in Drift pulling his sword on Ratchet. Rodimus took Drift for a walk to cool him down, where Drift reaffirmed his faith in Rodimus.

After Chromedome's mnemosurgery reawakened the Titan and made it fire its eye-beams at the ''Benign Intervention'', Drift was among those dispatched to fight off the Galactic Council's troops. The Titan eventually teleported Drift and the others back onto the ''Lost Light'', which then quantum-jumped to safety. {{storylink|Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations|You, Me, and Other Revelations}}

A few days later, Drift and other crew members aided Rewind in helping heal Rung's dormant mind by telling his part in a story of past events. Drift elaborated on the time in Rodion when he was rescued by Orion Pax and treated by Ratchet, being sure to antagonize Ratchet by claiming he had uttered religious praises during that time. All the while, he was being pestered by calls from Rodimus, who finally ordered Drift to meet him in the oil reservoir. Drift arrived there just in time to see [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]] recover Red Alert's headless body from the reservoir. {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 1: Post Hoc|Post Hoc}}

[[File:Ultra Magnus-Cyclonus-Rodimus and Drift.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.95|Of ''course'' Drift wants to get at the ''{{w|oni}}''-looking guy...]]
After the suspected assailant Cyclonus was sent to their makeshift interrogation room, Drift conducted a very hostile interrogation, pointing his sword at Cyclonus in a threatening manner. (Ultra Magnus later suggested Drift's overly enthusiastic interrogation was an unfortunate attempt to impress Rodimus.) The attempt didn't work, as Cyclonus quickly swatted the sword away and smashed Drift into a table. Rodimus and Ultra Magnus were forced to intervene and break the two of them up. {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 2: Patternism|Patternism}} First Aid soon discerned that Red Alert's "accident" was actually a suicide attempt, and Ultra Magnus suggested that the troubled security chief should be left in stasis until they could revive him in a less stressful environment. Rodimus railed against this, but when Drift agreed with Magnus, he sadly acquiesced. {{storylink|Shadowplay (Conclusion): An Intimate Beheading|An Intimate Beheading}}

The crew of the ''Lost Light'' intervened on [[Temptoria]], where a group of Decepticons had invaded and subjugated the local populace. A fierce battle erupted on the planet's surface, in which Drift cut down [[Tailwind (G1)|Tailwind]] and [[Tentakil (G1)|Tentakil]]. He also interrupted Rodimus' battle with [[Snaptrap (G1)|Snap Trap]], shoving a sword through the [[Seacon (G1)|Seacon]]'s face. Rodimus chided him for butting in, but Drift protested that "the ones with swords" were his to fight. {{storylink|Before & After}} In the aftermath of the fight, Drift and Brainstorm revealed to Chromedome that Overlord was aboard, hidden in a specially-constructed room beneath the ship, and the [[mnemosurgery|mnemosurgeon]] agreed to interface with the dormant Phase-Sixer to learn the secret of his power. {{storylink|Remembrance Day}}

[[File:Aquafend swerve drift cybertronian homesick blues.jpg|thumb|left|]]
Drift was teaching Rodimus how to use a sword, forging a deeper friendship with his captain, when a possible security situation interrupted. However, it merely turned out to be Cyclonus singing loudly to Tailgate. Swerve asked Drift if he wanted to be ''his'' roommate but Drift, claiming to prefer solitude, declined. {{storylink|Cybertronian Homesick Blues}} Drift was among those interviewed by Rewind for his documentary on life aboard the ''Lost Light''. When [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]] arrived on the ship seeking aid, Rodimus trotted Drift out as an accomplishment of his, claiming he had "rehabilitated" the ex-Decepticon. Drift was puzzled by Rodimus' claims, but impressed by Thunderclash, who greeted him respectfully and in accordance with his religious beliefs. {{storylink|Little Victories}}

[[File:Drift Overlord UnderColdBlueStars.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|left|This can only end well!]]
During a mnemosurgery session, Chromedome was outsmarted by Overlord, who obtained from the Autobot's memory the security codes to his cell that Drift provided. Drift was one of the first Autobots to fight the escaped Overlord outside of the medibay, urging Ratchet to lock himself in. But Ratchet chose to stand with his "friend" and sealed them outside the room. By the time reinforcements arrived, Overlord had severed both of Drift's legs and badly beaten Ratchet. Drift radioed the ship's brig to release Fortress Maximus, but not before his Great Sword was used by Overlord to mortally-wound Ultra Magnus. {{storylink|Under Cold Blue Stars}}

After Overlord had been jettisoned from the ''Lost Light'', Rodimus announced an inquiry to be held, knowing full well who was responsible for the Phase Sixer's presence on the ship. Drift offered to take full blame for the incident, protecting the identities of the other conspirators. He explained to Rodimus that he had a vision back on Cybertron, after he had impaled himself outside of Vector Sigma's chamber. Drift felt sure that Rodimus was essential to finding the Knights of Cybertron and couldn't let him out himself as having knowledge of the Overlord conspiracy. A hesitant and sorrowful Rodimus agreed and "furiously" stripped Drift of his Autobot symbol, exiling him from the ship. As he walked towards the shuttle prepared for him, Drift was knocked down by a piece of debris hurled by an angry crew member. Ratchet helped him up, and Drift departed the ''Lost Light''. {{storylink|The Gloaming}} {{storylink|The Sound of Breaking Glass}}

[[File:mtmte39 tarn sees drift.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Oi oi OI! Are you looking at me bird?!]]

Eighteen months from the ''Lost Light''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s launch, the [[Censere|Necrobot]] had listed Drift as deceased. {{storylink|Scavengers (Part 2): Who's Afraid of the DJD?|Who's Afraid of the DJD?}} The deceased Drift was actually part of a quantum duplicated ''Lost Light'' created by the initial accident at launch. When the [[Decepticon Justice Division]] arrived there to kill Overlord, the presence of Drift—another one on their List—caused them to go on a massive kill spree. Drift died first, killed along with Ratchet and Hound by [[Helex (DJD)|Helex]]. When Megatron later found their corpses an inspection of Drift allowed him to determine who had attacked the ship. {{storylink|The Permanent Revolution}} {{storylink|slaughterhouse}} {{storylink|slaughterhouse Part 2: The Road Not Taken|The Road Not Taken}}

[[File:Empire of Stone 2 Drift Ratchet where is this coming from.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|"You look terrible." "Thank you." "So you agree? You think you look terrible?"]]

Meanwhile, the original Drift was defending planets across the outer rim from rogue Decepticons. He'd been left battered by all the fighting, fights made harder as he'd promised to never kill again, but was neglecting to get himself repaired. While handing [[Grit (G1)|Grit]] over to the [[Galactic Council]], he ran into Ratchet: all of the truth of Drift's departure had come out now and the medic had come to take him home. Drift refused. Ratchet stubbornly stuck with him while he tracked down the main Decepticon army—right to the desert planet he'd discovered centuries ago. Both Autobots and Grit were shot down by the army and Drift found himself defending Grit from being killed for suspected treason.

The leader of the army turned out to be Drift's old boss Gigatron {{storylink|Drift - Empire of Stone issue 1|Empire of Stone #1}} who was ignoring the war had ended and was trying to find the Stone Army "Deadlock" had mentioned before. Drift, who knew the army wasn't hidden in the first place, refused until Ratchet's life was threatened and the three bots ended up in the cells. Ratchet's plan to get out was for Drift to pretend to be injured so the guard would open the cell—it was a ''very'' lame attempt but luckily the guard was a friend of Grit. As the robots escaped, Drift tried and failed to get Grit not to kill [[Hellbat (Victory)|Hellbat]] for slighting him: the Decepticon said he was sure in himself and his path in life, and didn't want the man projecting his own issues onto him. The Autobots carried on and found Gigatron hadn't found the army because Hellbat was hiding it from him {{storylink|Drift - Empire of Stone issue 2|Empire of Stone #2}} so he could use them himself to ''kill everything'', having decided to embrace the only thing he believed the Transformers were any good at. When Drift protested that he'd vowed never to kill again, Hellbat sneered and pointed to all the dead monks "Deadlock" had killed years ago.

[[File:Empire of Stone 4 Drift Gigatron FASTBALL SPECIAL.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|SUPERMAN WHEEEEE]]
A battle broke out and Drift found himself fought to a standstill by [[Vanquish (G1)|Vanquish]] before Hellbat activated the Stone Army. Rather than alert Cybertron, Drift felt they had to stop the army here and now and he turned to Gigatron for aid. {{storylink|Drift - Empire of Stone issue 3|Empire of Stone #3}} Together, the Autobots and Decepticons tore through the golems. Drift took the fight to Hellbat (after Gigatron used "maneuver seven", ''throwing'' Drift at Hellbat) and was goaded into killing him. Instead, the Autobot ripped the Stone Army's control device from him... at which point Gigatron went for him and no amount of reasoning could get Gigatron to stand down. Forced to defend himself, Drift dropped the device and Hellbat retrieved it.

Gigatron and Hellbat would kill each other, taking the Stone Army with them, while Drift and Ratchet escaped. When the medic again tried to get Drift back to the ''Lost Light'', the swordsman said he'd spent his whole life struggling to belong to ''something'' but only ever joined as a killer, and the Hellbat affair just reiterated that he didn't want to live a life where all he could offer was death. Ratchet rephrased the offer: instead of coming back as an Autobot, he should come back as his ''friend''. {{storylink|Drift - Empire of Stone issue 4|Empire of Stone #4}}

[[File:YourFierceTears-RatchetDrift.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Oh Drift-chan, you smell awesome, and not at all like feet!"]]
The two Autobots upgraded their bodies over the course of their adventures and Drift began sporting a [[Cityspeaker]]-style facial tattoo, in honour of the deceased Dai Atlas.<ref>[https://twitter.com/markerguru/status/716702702416355328 Alex Milne on twitter, clarifying the visual]</ref> They eventually ran back into the ''Lost Light'' crew, or some of them, after a mutiny had stranded Megatron, Rodimus, and their assumed loyalists on [[Necroworld|the Necrobot's planet]] and [[Velocity (G1)|Velocity]] had put out a call for help. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 3: Your Fierce Tears|Your Fierce Tears}} In a blaze of action, they saved the robot [[Ten]] from a Decepticon mauling! {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 2: The Sun in Flight|The Sun in Flight}} They very quickly found the Decepticons were a bigger deal than most of their foes and were nearly overrun until Drift spotted how [[Kaon (DJD)|Kaon]] of the D.J.D. was ''really'' protective of "the Pet", a '[[domestication|domesticated]]' beast-mode Transformer. Drift swiftly took "the Pet" hostage, giving them a chance to escape to the Autobot's fortress.

There, Rodimus and Drift had a long overdue discussion. Drift wanted to know ''why'' Rodimus hadn't come looking for him after revealing the truth to the crew, and Rodimus admitted it was out of fear he would hate him. Drift accepted Rodimus's sincere apology—Rodimus pleaded that he ignore his words and focus on his aura, eye colour, or any means Drift had claimed he could 'see', which Drift just smiled at—but doubted his belief that they can all make it out of their present situation alive. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 3: Your Fierce Tears|Your Fierce Tears}} Indeed, Drift even arranged it with Rewind that everyone could record their last wishes and how they wanted their bodies disposed of, to broadcast into space as an act of catharsis and closure. He witnessed very little catharsis when Chromedome almost died trying [[mnemosurgery]] on "the Pet" in front of him and, when the "Pet" was revealed by Rewind to be ''the lost [[Dominus Ambus]]'', he had his sword stolen by Rewind to kill Ambus before Chromedome could die.

When sunrise came, the Decepticons attacked. Rodimus embraced Drift and the others and thanked them for travelling with him, before the group charged into battle. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 4: At Close of Day|At Close of Day}} Drift and the crew survived for some time in fight with the hundreds of Decepticons thanks to the temporary [[Outlier]] powers they cooked up, but soon they began to tire. When Megatron finally took to the field of battle, the others retreated back to the fortress. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 5: Rage, Rage|Rage, Rage}} Drift was present as the DJD were brought down and the Disappeared released from stasis under the Necrobot's citadel. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 6: Do Not Go Gentle|Do Not Go Gentle}}

Drift had succeeded in getting Rodimus to convert to [[Spectralism]], but he was concerned about the ramifications of Rodimus's new paint job, signifying the severity of his intentions towards Getaway. Also, Drift experienced a curious vision when he touched one of the newly-awakened Disappeared named [[Anode]]. He saw [[Pharma (G1)|Pharma]], [[Grimlock (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Grimlock]], [[Worldsweeper]]s of the [[Phantom Fleet]], and crystals that rained from the sky as [[Sparkeater (creature)|sparkeaters]] emerged from threadbare space, all surrounded by the words "Prepare. Confront. Repel." over and over again.

...so anyway, Brainstorm constructed a teleportation "den" to send some of the group back to Cybertron to find transport for the rest of them. When they arrived, however, Cybertron was undeniably changed. Rewind soon recognized it as the [[Functionist Universe]], the alternate history that overlapped on his database when Brainstorm used his time case. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 1: Some Other Cybertron|Some Other Cybertron}} [[Twelve-of-Twelve]] captured Drift and the others as suspected members of the revolutionary [[Anti-Vocationist League]]. The real AVL arrived and caused a distraction for the crew to escape. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 2: Anomie|Anomie}} Drift and his friends were matter transported to "Cyberutopia", the sanctuary city of [[Adaptica]] ruled by the rogue Functionist [[Nine-of-Twelve]]. They learned that in this reality Rung was hailed by the AVL as the "Useless One" for his alt mode that apparently stood in defiance of Primus and Functionism. Unfortunately, the Functionist Council chose that day to reveal they had discovered Rung's true use as a mining tank, allowing them to access [[Vector Sigma]] which had been sealed off by the Senate millennia ago. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 3: A World Misplaced|A World Misplaced}}

Drift and the others traveled to Vector Sigma to confront the Council and rescue Rung. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 4: Bad Moon Rising|Bad Moon Rising}} They succeeded and stole the Council's flying base, the Cog, to make their way back to Cyberutopia. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 5: Modes of Production|Modes of Production}} With the help of teleport technology in a weaponized Luna-2 and wand-tech Brainstorm recovered from [[Killmaster]] on Necroworld, they transported the entire world back from the Functionist Universe to their original one. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 6: This Machine Kills Fascists|This Machine Kills Fascists}}

The crew prepared to continue their quest for the real Cyberutopia, and for revenge on Getaway and the mutineers. A Decepticon corpse named [[Skip]] was modified and mass-displaced to form a passable space craft, and so Drift and the others pressed on. {{storylink|After Megatron (A Dissolution Epilogue)|After Megatron}}

Enraged, Deadlock charged Grand Scourge, but found himself to be thoroughly outclassed. Deadlock only managed to avoid being cut down by grabbing hold of a nearby blade to block his opponent's retaliatory attack.

Getting his hands on [[SARA]], Deadlock used her powers to flee to the [[Legends Universe]], where he was surprised that the local [[Waspinator (BW)#Transformers Legends comic|Waspinator]] knew of him. Realizing that all dimensions existed as fictional stories in this dimension, he took to gathering information by consuming their media, and was surprised to find that Transformers throughout the multiverse were extremely similar to their Cloud World counterparts. The [[Zamojin (species)|Zamojin]], creators of the Legends world, then possessed SARA and told Deadlock that he and his compatriots were not the original Transformers, but copies based on beings from other universes. Deadlock was outraged by this concept as it suggested that he was fated to become an Autobot like the "original" Deadlock, and defiantly proclaimed that his fate was his to decide. On the recommendation of [[Skids (G1)#Quantum Operative|Skids]], another interdimensional visitor, he then ended the Zamojin control of SARA by unleashing her powers and opening a gate back to Cloud World, where he lost her to the Autobots. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Deadlock)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}}

Bound for some unknown reason, Deadlock was one of many Transformers from across the multiverse observed by [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]. {{storylink|Cybertron Magna Convoy}}

After falling out with his commanding officer, the Decepticon Deadlock found himself on an unfamiliar planet. He encountered the [[Circle of Light]], who helped him defeat [[Lockdown (G1)|Lockdown]] and some local miscreants, and as a result Deadlock changed his name to Drift and joined up with the Circle in their journey to find a peaceful home. {{storylink|Circle of Light (Legends)|Circle of Light}}

At some point Drift joined the Autobot army. Catching wind of a [[Quintesson]] plot to disrupt the [[Galactic Olympics|Galactic Games]], Drift teamed up with [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] to enter the games as a team, and succeeded in uncovering and stopping [[Slipstream (G1)|Slipstream]]. {{storylink|The Galactic Games}}

Drift and his team had to speed a vital component to a power station to prevent it from exploding, and they made it, despite interference from [[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown]] and [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]]. {{storylink|Rushdown Road}}

Optimus told Drift to just observe and not engage.
{{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events|Double-Crossed}}

Drift came in response when Optimus and Megatron's truce at the movies went _____ and freaked out the cinemagoers. [[Barricade (EW)|Barricade]] came in tow and started taunting him. Drift retorted he would prefer to play his director's cut. He then taunted if Barricade was ready for his closeup with all the cellphone cameras around. Drift then said to catch him if he can. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars| Direct the Dialogue 2}}

When Optimus learned that the Decepticons were trawling alternate realities for reinforcements, he decided he needed someone with stealth and total commitment to the mission, and commanded Hot Rod to summon drift, in spite of his mistrust. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events|Event Horizon}} Drift was _____ that the Autobots still mistrust him behind the mask of acceptance. Just then Grimlock told him Optimus wanted him for a secret mission, and Hot Rod explained that this was his shot to prove his allegiance.

Optimus informed him on the Decepticon's' multi-universal recruitment drive. Drift asked why they sent one asset instead of an army, and Perceptor explained because of the massive energy expenditure needed to penetrate the Multiversal Membrane, solo is the only option. Drift followed Barricade to an alternate universe with endless fighting. Barricade taunted him before fighting him head-on. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events|Outlaws}}

Drift tried to prevent Barricade from tagging an Autobot when they were suddenly bombarded with missiles. He remarked [[Live-action film series|nothing makes sense and he's losing the plot]]. Barricade tagged his cross-dimensional beacon on the universe's Lockdown, but nothing happened. As if a [[Shroud|god-like force]] was making the alternate universe untouchable. Just then Hun-Gurrr rammed into Barricade, much to Drift's surprise, and the two 'cons teleported to another universe. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events|Critcial Mass}}

Drift arrived in [[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|a garish universe]] too late to stop Barricade and Hun-Gurrr from departing, but [[Optimus Prime (G1)|the local Optimus Prime]] appeared and commanded him to identify himself. Drift subsequently asked Laser Optimus for help against the 'Cons, to which the heroic [[Laser Rod]] agreed. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events|Worlds Collide}}

*'''Autobot Drift''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Accessories'': Left & right "dual swords", greatsword

:''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Drift transforms into a cross between a {{w|Nissan Silvia#S15|Nissan Silvia S15}} and a {{w|Mitsubishi FTO}}. In [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], Drift's two shorter "dual swords" store inside his doors (which double as his hip sheaths during [[robot mode]]), while the larger sword stores in a set of grooves on the underside of his vehicle (also used in robot mode). It can also be stored (in robot mode) in the doors where the windows fold up. Behind his windshield kibble is his pre-Earth chest design, in a nod to the form Drift had been seen in almost exclusively at the time of the toy's unveiling. Due to his ball jointed wrists, Drift is one of the few Transformers figures that can hold a sword with a two-handed grip. Left unmentioned in the instructions is that the clip that holds his large sword is on a small concealed arm that allows the sword to move away from his back and out of the way of his legs and shoulders. Drift's swords are made from a kid-friendly flexible material, and therefore care must be taken to avoid warping. His hand holes are slightly larger than 5mm, but taper toward the bottom.

:While Drift's Earth mode designs showed him sporting the katakana ドリフト (''Dorifuto'') on his car doors, the toy instead sports the kanji 侍 (''samurai''). The large sword sports the kanji 天下無双 (''tenka musō'', "peerless under heaven", or just "peerless" if you're not feeling idiomatic. It can also mean "armed under providence").

:Drift's mold was [[retool]]ed into ''Generations'' [[Blurr (G1)#Generations|Blurr]] and was [[redeco]]ed, with Blurr's pistols also being included, into [[Drift (SG)#Toys|''Shattered Glass'' Drift]].

:When his eyes are lit up, he has two visible pupils that follow you when you turn him. Freaky.

==Notes==
*Commenting on what inspired him to create Drift, writer/creator [[Shane McCarthy]] said that "I wanted a character in AHM that had a particular element to him that I didn't see readily available elsewhere and secondly because, frankly, I thought it would be a great idea for Hasbro to have an Autobot Drift racer."<ref>[http://www.smactalk.com.au/?p=101 Shane McCarthy blogs about Spotlight: Drift.]</ref> He later said he wanted to show what'd happen [[:Category:Turncoats|if a former Decepticon became an Autobot]].<ref>[http://tformers.com/article.php?sid=11723 Podcast interview with Shane McCarthy]</ref> Drift's Japanese overtones are meant to be a tip of the hat "to the country that gave birth to [''Transformers'']."<ref>[http://comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=18585 Comic Book Resources October 27th, 2008 interview with Shane McCarthy]</ref>
*Drift's name is derived from the Japanese driving technique of "{{w|Drifting (motorsport)|drifting}}," rendered in Japanese as ドリフト走行 (''dorifuto sōkō''). This is also the source of the {{w|katakana}} in Chris Ryall's announcement;<ref>[http://ryalltime.blogspot.com/2008/12/blog-post.html "ドリフト走行*" entry in Chris Ryall's blog]</ref> it is a transliteration of his English name and is not from Japanese fiction.

*[[IDW Publishing]] initially claimed that Drift had been solicited by [[Hasbro]] to receive a toy in the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' line. This may have been premature, as it was followed several months later with a denial, albeit from Hasbro's Australian offices.<ref>[http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=3438 Ozformers Q&A with Hasbro Australia]</ref> This was rebutted by IDW editor [[Chris Ryall]] at [[New York Comic Con]] 2009, denied again in the March 2009 Hasbro Q&A for Seibertron.com,<ref>[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/hasbro-answers-seibertrons-questions/15360 Hasbro March 2009 Q&A on Seibertron.com]</ref> and finally acknowledged by Hasbro at [[BotCon 2009]] when early design sketches were unveiled for Drift's toy. The toy itself was first shown at [[Toy Fair 2010]].
*As may be surmised from this page's captions, the large amount of hype surrounding Drift's initial introduction—along with perceptions that he was little more than a stereotypical badass fan-created character with Japanese samurai/ninja stereotypes added in for maximum awesomeness—led to a considerable backlash against the character when he was first announced. The hype included not only his own ''Spotlight'' issue, followed later by a four-issue mini-series, but also an appearance in "[[I Am Optimus Prime (Robot Heroes)|I Am Optimus Prime]]", a book intended to advertise the ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' toys... whose ranks don't actually include a Drift figure. The character's actual appearances in fiction, however, have not spawned nearly as much vitriol, and the later (re)interpretation by author [[James Roberts]] actually resulted in many a fan changing their opinion of the character.
*Roberts has said "there's different facets" to Drift and his environment has an impact on how he presents himself.<ref>[http://womenwriteaboutcomics.com/2015/02/26/james-roberts-on-idws-transformers-more-that-meets-the-eye/ Women Write About Comics: "James Roberts on IDW’s Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye" 34:40 - 35:02]</ref> Drift himself says in [[Drift - Empire of Stone issue 3|''Empire of Stone'' #3]] that he dives into new personas, both his brooding loner and his hippie ones, to cover up the parts of himself that he doesn't like.

This "Autobot Drift Black Ver." didn't win the poll to determine which of the ten would be produced, however, ending up in fourth place with 12.7% of the votes.<ref>[http://millionhero.sblo.jp/article/101898683.html Poll results at Hero-X]</ref>

[[File:G1 OptimusPrime boxart.jpg|thumb|upright=1.95|Awwwwww yeah......]]
Since 1984, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 '''Optimus Prime''']] has received the largest number of toys for any single ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' character, a testament to the character's enduring popularity and status as a hero to many fans.

==Generation 1==
{{anchor|G1v1}}
[[File:G1 OptimusPrime toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|From the ''Diaclone'' Battle Convoy came Optimus Prime and all his subsequent incarnations.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (1984, 1985, 1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''01'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser Blaster, 2 fists (left & right), [[Trailer]]/[[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]], [[Roller (G1)|Roller]], 4 rockets, hose, nozzle, fuel pump

: The original Optimus Prime toy started life as the ''[[Diaclone]]'' toy, "Battle Convoy", created by a team of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] designers who came on board when the original designer fell behind. This team included [[Hiroyuki Obara]] (listed as the sole creator on the toy's patent) and famed mecha designer [[Shōji Kawamori]]. The toy transforms into two major components; the first component being a red and blue White Freightliner WFT-8664T cabover semi-trailer truck partially composed of [[die-cast]] metal, and the second component being a large silver trailer of currently-undetermined model.

:The cab transforms into the [[robot mode]] of Optimus Prime himself, with the addition of a pair of removable blue fists that plug into his headlights. The fists themselves do not store anywhere in vehicle mode, but can fit easily in Prime's opening chest compartment (originally designed to accommodate two ''Diaclone'' driver figures). Prime is armed with a black laser rifle that, due to design, he cannot hold straight.

:Prime's trailer opens up into his [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]], containing the scout drone, [[Roller (G1)|Roller]]. The interior of the Combat Deck features three pegs that can accommodate Prime's laser rifle, fuel pump and nozzle accessories, and seating for two ''Diaclone'' drivers. As its central feature, the Combat Deck features a missile-armed repair drone pod mounted upon a boom lift arm (featuring another cockpit for a ''Diaclone'' driver), which can also be extended through holes in the trailer's roof and front-end when it is closed. Situated in the base of the boom arm is a spring-loaded launcher that can launch Roller out of the Combat Deck and into action. Roller himself has seating for four ''Diaclone'' passengers, and features a port that can accommodate either Prime's rifle or the fuel pump. The interior space of the trailer allows storage room for one standard Autobot car, which can also be shot forward by the launcher.

[[File:G1toy optimus prime variants and running changes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Most people would be happy with just ''one'' Optimus Prime, but noooooo...]]

:Optimus Prime was subject to several molding and color variations in his early days. The earliest release of the figure featured larger fists, a gun with a thick, round barrel, a slightly-differently shaped gas pump, grey rockets, a grey Roller, a grey launcher in his Combat Deck, and metal plates in the floor of the Combat Deck (a holdover from the ''Diaclone'' version of the toy, to which the magnetic feet of the pilots could cling). In short order, his fists were slimmed down, the gun's barrel was pared down to a more slender form, the gas pump's shape was altered, the rockets and launcher were recast in black plastic, the metal plates were removed from the Combat Deck, and Roller's color was changed to a light blue. Along with Roller's color change, however, the Combat Deck's drone pod also became light blue, and a third running change soon followed that saw it restored to its original darker blue, and Roller changed along with it. These modified components would become the default accessories used by subsequent reissues of the Prime toy would take, though Roller stills fluctuates back and forth between grey and dark blue, depending on how [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] each reissue wants to be.

:The Japanese release of the figure also underwent the changes in weapon shapes, but never featured a silver Roller; instead, their original release of Prime featured a ''Diaclone''-style Roller without the two rear pegs, and the differently-shaped launcher that accommodated him, before a running change switched over to the Hasbro version of the mold. Finally, in some European countries, Prime sported red feet, as opposed to his traditional blue; this version of the figure is also known in some cases to feature a differently-painted forehead crest which leaves the three central indentations unpainted blue.

:Having been removed from toy store shelves after 1985, Optimus Prime was made available as a mail-away toy in the "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]" offer in the US in 1986 to coincide with the [[The Transformers: The Movie|Transformers movie]] premiering that year. He cost $21.50 and 5 [[Robot Point]]s. He was also offered in 'The Autobots Have A Special Mission For...' mail-away pamphlet and came with a special "Movie Edition Certificate" and a round sticker that read " Movie . Edition . Transformer" with the Autobot symbol in the middle. (This item is considered ''rare''.)

:Over twenty-plus years, there have been a ''bajillion'' releases of this mold, some identical to the original toy, and some featuring significant variants with notably different paint jobs, color schemes, accessories and other pack-ins. We have striven to list all these variants on this page under their respective series; for a quick-reference list of all variants and releases [[#Notes|check here]]. The cab robot has also been used sparingly to represent different characters; outfitted with different trailers, it has become Generation 1 [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Pepsi Convoy]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Limited edition promotional variant, 1985)
**''Accessories:'' Laser Blaster, 2 fists (left & right), trailer/Combat Deck, Roller (dark blue), 4 rockets, hose, nozzle, fuel pump

:A limited edition of the Optimus Prime toy sold as a mail-away exclusive by [[Pepsi|PepsiCo]] was made available in North America in 1985. This version of the figure came with a small fold-out leaflet glued to the top-right of the packaging, which contained two Pepsi logo stickers for the buyer to attach to Prime, mid-way through the traditional silver-and-blue stripe on his trailer. [[Canada]] also got a version of this promotional figure, but with much larger stickers that were the full length and height of the trailer. This promotion would go on to serve as the inspiration for the Japanese character of [[Pepsi Convoy]], who would in turn be released by Hasbro as a new "[[#Classics|Pepsi Optimus Prime]]" in 2007.

It was packaged with [[Mirage (G1)|Ligier]] and [[Red Alert (G1)|Alert]], in an apparent homage to the similar ''Diaclone'' "Powered Convoy DX" giftset that packaged the "Powered Convoy" version of the Optimus mold with figures using the molds of Ligier and Alert.

{{note|Ultra Magnus' inner white Optimus Prime redeco was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as Optimus Prime in the ''[[Transformers vs. G.I. Joe]]'' issue "[[The War Never Ends]]".}}

: Ultra Magnus is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Powered Convoy" figure, itself a redeco and slight retool of "Battle Convoy", the toy that became the original Optimus Prime figure, sporting a new trailer. One of the last few ''Diaclone'' toys to be released in the ''Transformers'' toyline, Magnus was recolored from the original toy's dark blue, red and black color scheme into a more patriotic red, white and blue, though his chestplate, which was rendered white in his package art followed a more the blue color scheme of his shoulders. He transforms into a Freightliner COE, towing a car-carrier trailer capable of transporting up to four normal-sized Autobot cars. As with Optimus Prime, his cab transforms into a small robot, which can then combine with the trailer to form a "super robot", although all original Generation 1 fiction prior to the 21st century ignored this and simply rendered the super robot as Magnus's default robot form. To facilitate this combination, Magnus sports a slightly longer front axle than Prime, thereby creating tabs on either side of the cab that slide into grooves in the trailer to help lock the small robot into place. He is armed with a rifle sporting two handles that allow either of his [[robot mode]]s to hold it, and two shoulder-mounted missile launchers, whose spring-loaded firing mechanism was removed for the Hasbro release of the figure.

:The ''Diaclone'' Powered Convoy figure had several additional features and modes which were mostly excised or left unmentioned for the ''Transformers'' release of Ultra Magnus. Principally, Powered Convoy came packaged with "Powered Buggy", who was left out of Magnus's release (see [[#Notes|notes below]] for further details). Omitted from Magnus's instructions is the ability of his chestplate and super robot head to combine to form a small vehicle; the Powered Convoy version of the figure included small rolling wheels on the underside of the chestplate which were removed for Ultra Magnus. Additionally, three additional modes were included in the ''Diaclone'' instructions that Hasbro left out: a "preparation base" mode and an "Autobot base" mode were excluded entirely, while the third, a "catapult launcher" mode originally intended and proportioned to accommodate the ''Diaclone'' Jet Robo figure that became [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], was shown only on the front of his packaging, interacting with [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]. The Japanese release of Ultra Magnus—released as part of the ''[[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]'' sub-line—''did'' include instructions for the preparation base and catapult launcher modes, but replaced the original Autobot base mode with a new configuration.

:The original Ultra Magnus figure has been reissued and redecoed several times down the years, and this article strives to list each edition of the figure under its own heading. The first alteration to Magnus, however, was a [[variant|running change]] made while he was still on shelves: Originally, his tires were made of [[rubber tires|rubber]] and he sported paint on both his small and large robot heads, but this version was soon replaced with one featuring plastic tires and no paint on either head. In addition, the clear yellow plastic that formed his windows was removed from the cab, leaving just holes instead; and his thighs and fuel tanks were left white, as opposed to the vacuum metalized chrome ones of the original release.

:The small robot component, as well as being part of Optimus Prime, was also released with a different trailer as [[Pepsi Convoy]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Powermaster, 1988)
**''Accessories:'' Hi-Q Powermaster unit, 2 Laser Rifles, 2 Twin Particle Beam Cannons, Super Robot head
[[File:PowermasterOptimusPrime toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|My Japanese release has a lot more bling. And shorter stacks.]]
:Powermaster Optimus Prime was the first new toy of the Autobot leader since the original toy's release in 1984. He is an all-new design, utilizing the [[Powermaster]] gimmick of requiring the partner figure, who transforms into an engine module, to be inserted into a special area on the main toy before it is able to transform.

:Like the original figure, Powermaster Prime is composed of two major components: his truck cab, which transforms into Prime himself, and his trailer, which is essentially a heavily-armed version of the original. The trailer has a fold-down ramp to allow the storage of a smaller Transformer, or perhaps spare accessories. The trailer transforms into a battle station armed with two long black rifles and two grey double-barreled cannons (featuring seating for Powermaster engine figures), all of which Optimus Prime can also wield in his fists.

:Aside from the Powermaster feature itself, the main [[gimmick]] of the toy is the ability of the truck cab to combine with the trailer to form the larger "Super Optimus Prime" figure. This is essentially accomplished by standing the trailer up, folding the cab in half and inserting it into the empty cavity in the trailer's torso, forming an imposing—if almost entirely unposeable—robot form armed with all four weapons. The head of this super robot form is a separate piece which can be stored in the rear of Prime's trailer when not in use. While Hi-Q was always shown plugged into Prime's chest in artwork of this mode (as seen in the picture here), this was actually entirely unnecessary as transforming into Super Optimus Prime didn't require the standard Prime toy's legs to be unlocked.

:The Japanese release of Powermaster Optimus Prime actually represented a new character named [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]], and featured several retools: the cab featured die-cast metal, shortened smokestacks, vacuum-metalized plastic and clear blue windows, while the trailer was given retractable super robot fists. This Japanese version was eventually issued by Hasbro in 2003 as part of the [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] collection ([[#Commemorative Series|see below]]).

:This toy was later redecoed into the Japanese-exclusive Nucleon Quest Super Convoy.

:There were several different prototypes made for this toy. [[#Powermaster Optimus Prime design history|See a list here]].

**''Accessories:'' 2 Laser Guns, Galactic Pulverizer Gun Barrels, 4 Blaster Cannons, 2 Energon Exhaust Stack, Photon Bazooka

: The largest [[Action Master]] set, this incarnation of Optimus Prime is a non-transforming action figure which comes with the "[[Armored Convoy]]", a large, heavily armed tractor trailer. The cab of the truck transforms into a small jet that can seat one Action Master figure, while the trailer itself converts into a larger battle station with turrets that several Action Masters can man. The sculpt of the Prime figure itself is closely based on his [[character model]], albeit with a coloration that seems to have been based at least partially on the small robot form of his Powermaster body.

:The Action Master Optimus Prime figure was later redecoed with a more [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] color scheme and included in the Japanese-exclusive "New Year" reissue of the original Optimus Prime toy in 2002.

:Also, unlike the one seen in the commercial, the final product loses paint operations of Optimus Prime's upper legs.

: As one of the first ''[[Transform Jr]]'' toys, this version of Optimus Prime was released under the early name for the series, ''Transform Gōkin''. As a smaller, simplified version of the original Generation 1 Prime figure intended as a low-cost alternative for younger children, Prime features a similar transformation, with a removable head in addition to fists, but lacks rubber tires and translucent windows.

*'''Star Convoy''' (Powered Master, 1991)
**''ID number:'' '''C-372'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle, [[Micro Trailer]], Microcarrier, small cannon, cannon turret stand, radar, connector, 2 ramps

: As the final new-design Optimus Prime toy from the original Generation 1 era, the Japanese-exclusive Star Convoy was a significant departure from previous versions. This incarnation of Prime transforms into an extended-hood cab truck of made-up model pulling an implausibly large trailer, incorporating the motorized "Microcarrier". Powered by four AA batteries, the Microcarrier drives Star Convoy either forward or backward, spinning a radar dish mounted on the rear of his trailer as he rolls along. Prime's teammate in the [[Battlestars]], [[Grandus (ROC)|Grandus]], can link up to the rear of Star Convoy's vehicle mode and be pulled along behind him; [[Sky Garry (ROC)|Sky Garry]] can then land atop Grandus, forming a giant vehicle.

:Unlike previous Prime toys, the cab section does not separate from the trailer for transformation, instead forming the arms of his imposing 12-inch tall robot mode. He lacks any sort of leg articulation in this mode, but the Microcarrier comes into play again, allowing Prime to roll either forward or backward into action.

:Additionally, Star Convoy transforms into a large battle station that interacts with the [[Micromaster]]s that made up the vast majority of the ''Transformer'' toyline at the time. His chest contains a peg that allows Micromaster figures to stand inside it in either robot or base modes, and he comes with a unique Micromaster version of [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Return of Convoy|Hot Rod]] not available on its own. He features storage space in his legs for two spring-loaded figure-launching [[Micro Trailer]]s, and comes with one of his own, decorated in a unique black and orange color scheme. In this mode, two ramps are connected to the Microcarrier; when the carrier's treads are set rolling, they do not move the base, but instead act as conveyor belts that carry Micromaster figures down the ramps. The Microcarrier also spins a gun turret mounted between the conveyors, on which Micromaster figures can stand. Finally, a special connector packaged with Star Convoy allows the Microcarrier to be connected up to Grandus's base mode, powering his moving elevator.

Star Convoy himself retained some of his original decals but most notably his "simulated head lights" and "wind shield panels" were stamp graphed on him, similarly, Hot Rod's were replaced with the same stamp graphing applications. Additionally, where the original toy had been packaged in robot mode in a tall box decorated with the standard Japanese package art of the time, the reissue was packaged in vehicle mode, in a long, wide box more reminiscent of the original Generation 1 toys.

**''Accessories:'' Laser Blaster, 2 fists (left & right), trailer/Combat Deck, Roller (light blue), 4 rockets, hose, nozzle, fuel pump, 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, sound and lights module

:The first ''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime toy was largely identical in sculpt to the original Generation 1 figure release. While his cab robot retained his original red and blue color scheme, his trailer was recast in black, with the original blue and silver striped sticker replaced with a red and silver one displaying Optimus's name. On the first release of the trailer, the internal components and Roller matched the blue of the cab robot. Later, the internal components were changed to a lighter blue, as was Roller. Another running change followed, making the dark blue of the cab robot match this lighter shade. A bright yellow "Autobot" [[tampograph]] was also added to the back of his right leg.

:''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime comes with all his original accessories, as well as two major new play features. To increase his arsenal, he is armed with a pair of black missile launchers that fit in his fists and fire red spring-loaded missiles; these launchers were retooled from the ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' figure [http://www.yojoe.com/action/92/barricade.shtml Barricade]. Secondly, he comes with an electronic "sound and lights module" that can either plug into the front of the trailer (where it resembles the air conditioners used on refrigerated trailers), or hook onto Optimus's back in [[robot mode]] (via a new slot sculpted into the cab robot). Unfortunately, the soundbox is heavy enough that doing so can easily overpower Prime's hip joints, causing him to topple backward. The soundbox features a large, [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metalized]] Autobot symbol on its front, and three grey buttons which trigger two flashing red LEDs on either side of the module, and [[:File:G2OptimusNoises.ogg|a trio of sound effects]]: a truck engine noise, a laser gun sound effect and a garbled voice that said "I am Optimus Prime!". The module also features ports on either side into which the missile launchers can peg.

:[[Hero (G2)|Hero]] Optimus Prime was the first new-mold Optimus Prime toy created for the ''Generation 2'' line. He transforms into a Kenworth truck of unknown model which defies Optimus convention by being one continuous unit, rather than the traditional cab-and-trailer combo. Decals form the windows of a faux truck face to represent his chest, featuring both his name and what appears to be a [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|life support readout coming alive towards the end]]. In addition to a small gun, he is armed with a large missile launcher, which can fire a rubber-tipped rocket by means of a bellows which you slam your fist down on to produce a puff of air. The launcher is accessible in both modes, ending up mounted on his right forearm in robot mode; the bellows is attached via a rubber hose and cannot be disconnected, but stores on the figures's back when not in use, as do the rockets. A similar air-launching system with identical missiles was used by the simultaneously-released [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Hero Megatron]], and by Laser Optimus Prime the following year (see below).

[[File:G2toy laser optimus prime.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|What was that about shoulder-speakers, Jazz?]]

: Laser Optimus Prime transforms into a mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX, pulling a grey and black fuel tank trailer. The sides of the trailer are decorated with an unintentionally humourous sticker depicting Prime using a flamethrower to burn down a forest, with the words "Optimus Prime Octane" over the image. Not an especially Primey thing to do! The truck is armed with a disc launcher on the roof of its trailer, which launches five blue discs bearing the ''Generation 2'' Autobot insignia as a knob is turned. Like the other "[[Laser Rod|Laser]]" toys released this year, Prime features electronics powered by two button-cell batteries; in truck mode, pressing the button on the cab's roof causes his headlight to light up with yellow LEDs.

:In the grand Optimus tradition, the cab of Laser Optimus Prime disconnects to become the highly poseable robot mode of Prime himself. Like Powermaster Prime and Hero Prime, the toy features the iconic windshield pecs and grill abs, despite not actually being formed from the actual truck components they emulate. In robot mode, pressing the button on Prime's cab (now on his back) activates a red LED in his right fist which illuminates his clear-plastic sword (which stores beneath his legs in truck mode).

:Prime's trailer unfolds via a spring-loaded transformation mechanism in a battle station that is positively ''bristling'' with varied weaponry. In addition to the disc launcher, it is armed with a "ripple-fire" missile launcher that fires five missiles, an air-powered rocket launcher like the one previously seen on Hero Optimus Prime, and a small laser cannon that mounts on the base's main tower. Both the missile launcher and laser cannon can disconnect and be held by Prime; his LED-fist will illuminate the laser cannon like it does his sword. Additional missiles and a second rocket are stored in grooves inside the sides of the trailer.

:This mold was redecoed by Takara in 2000 as ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Car Robots]]'' [[Scourge (RID)|Black Convoy]]. The following year, it was released by Hasbro as Black Convoy's [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise]] counterpart, Scourge, with retooled discs that lacked the Autobot insignia. Following this, the next use of the mold was planned to be ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Toxitron (Universe)|Toxitron]], which ended up being canceled. The modified tooling was also used when Laser Prime was reissued by Takara in 2006 with a modified deco ([[#G2reissue|see below]]), and for the e-Hobby exclusive [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#G-2|Laser Ultra Magnus]] that accompanied the reissue's release. In 2015, ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition Year of the Goat]]'' Optimus Prime, another repaint version, comes with partially transparent plastic torso.

:In addition to being the most popular Generation 2 figure, Laser Optimus Prime was, prior to 2003, a regular contender for most popular Transformers toy ''ever'', back in the days of the annual Transformers fan awards, "The Trannies." The toy won twice, and actually lost once to his redeco, Scourge.

:The Japanese release of this toy swapped out the orange plastic for neon yellow, and had a large tampograph on the car's hood that was shaped like a stylized letter 'T', with the Transformers logo in it. Going against the grain, this toy was released in Japan with the name "Optimus Prime" instead of "Convoy".

:This sculpt was redecoed from the ''Generation 2'' Gobot [[Firecracker]]. The plastic colors are a "solid" version of Firecracker's color layout, substituting opaque red for transparent red plastic.

: "General" Optimus Prime would have been a redeco of the Decepticon [[Auto Roller]] [[Dirtbag]] in green, ironically bearing a closer resemblance to [[Hound (G1)|Hound]]'s color scheme than the also-unreleased [[Hound (G1)/toys#Generation 2|"Sgt. Hound"]] Auto Roller. General Optimus Prime would have transformed into a dump truck, and would've had an [[autotransformation]] gimmick.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TRF-13'''

:This reissue of the original ''Generation 2'' Laser Optimus Prime figure was made using the modified version of the mold created for ''Robots in Disguise'' Scourge, lacking the sculpted ''Generation 2'' Autobot insignias on the disks featured on the original. It sported a modified deco, with the flat grey plastic on both the trailer and Prime's chest now replaced with silver chrome; additionally, new Autobot symbol tampographs were added to the doors of Prime's cab mode and the front end of his trailer, and a pair of new chest-window stickers featuring an illustration of the Matrix of Leadership replaced the original decals.

:This version of the mold was used to create the e-Hobby exclusive Laser Ultra Magnus, and somewhat more perplexingly, was briefly [[repurposing|repurposed]] by the [[Master of the Game|second]] ''[[Beast Wars Reborn]]'' text story as a temporary body for [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity#Beast Wars Reborn|Optimus Primal]]!

==Beast Wars==
{{Note|Very early in the life of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' toyline (before the debut of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon), Hasbro treated the series as an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and so Optimus Primal was presented as being the same character as Optimus Prime.}}

*'''Optimus Primal vs Megatron!''' (Basic versus two-pack, 1996)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-6'''[[File:BWtoy-Primalbat.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I'm Batman, and I can breathe in space.]]
**''Accessories:'' Two swords
:The first ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal/toys|Optimus Primal]] is a Basic size class blue bat which could autotransform into a robot by pulling the tail. Two swords were removable from under its wings for use as weaponry in [[robot mode]]. It was packaged along with an alligator version of Megatron and a ''Beast Wars'' mini-comic.

:This figure was released during the short-lived period when Hasbro was treating the Beast Wars as an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and Optimus Primal was presented as being the same character as Optimus Prime. This was soon relegated to the realms of [[micro-continuity]] when the ''Beast Wars'' animated series began and clearly established that the two Optimuses were different characters, but the toy remains one that was officially branded as Prime, and is consequently listed here.

:This mold was also used to make the [[Optimus Primal/toys|Optimus Prime-recolored Convobat]] (who may or may not be a separate character to either Prime or Primal), and [[Onyx Primal]].

*'''Optimus Primal''' (Ultra, 1996/1997/1998)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-1'''
**''Accessories:'' Two swords, four missiles, flail
: The second Optimus Primal toy was an ape in the Ultra size class. Though the transformation from primate to humanoid was a relatively simplistic one, the toy compensated with more than a fair share of weaponry and action features. A compartment on his right forearm opened to reveal a skull-shaped mace he could hold in his fist. His left forearm could open into a double-barreled missile launcher. On his back were two spring-loaded missile launchers which auto-flipped over each shoulder. By pulling a lever in the center of his back, both arms would either spin at the bicep or bend in and out at the elbow, depending on the placement of notch-buttons located on either bicep. This gimmick was shown to be an effort to simulate a gorilla beating its chest while Optimus was in [[beast mode]], but could also be used in robot mode, making him swing his weapons wildly before himself. And finally, like many first-year ''Beast Wars'' toys, a battle mask/"[[mutant head]]" could be deployed over his robot head.

:Takara released the toy as part of their ''Beast Wars'' line in July of 1997, nearly identical to the Hasbro version. The missiles for the Takara version are thinner and simpler than the original Hasbro version, and would be used in all subsequent releases of the mold.

:Just like Optimus Primal's basic bat toy, this figure was released during the short-lived period when the Beast Wars was still considered to be an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and Optimus Primal was the same character as Optimus Prime. This was soon relegated to the realms of [[micro-continuity]] when the ''Beast Wars'' animated series began and clearly established that the two Optimuses were different characters, but the toy remains one that was officially branded as Prime, and is consequently listed here.

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Optimus Primal and [[Transformers: Beast Wars Telemocha Series|Beast Wars Telemocha Series]] DX Convoy, and [[retool]]ed into ''Beast Wars Reborn''/''Beast Wars Tenth Anniversary'' versus pack Optimus Primal. Takara also created multiple special variants, including all-gold (from ''Tele-V Magazine'', only ten awarded), red and gray (''Tele-V'' again, but only ''one'' awarded), and blue-fur (a ''Comics Bom Bom'' design-contest prize, only five awarded).

: Available only in a special CD-ROM two-pack with a [[Megatron (G1)/toys#CDgator|purple redeco of "Megaligator"]], this version of Optimus Primal (maybe) retains its previous gimmickry. his back features a silver Maximal [[Insignia|faction symbol]] plus "C-ROM", as in "Cybertron", get it? Huh? And Megatron has the "D-ROM"? See what they did there?

: Just which character this toy represents is up for debate. The toy's [[bio]] claims he used to turn into a tractor-trailer (indicating Optimus Prime), but considering the timeframe of when they were written and the whole lack of a stance on who Primal "was" before the show and blah blah blah... it's just easier to file this under the same iffiness as the original toy bios set on modern [[Earth]] and leave it at that.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Ultra, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle, 2 missiles

: Available only at [[KB Toys]], ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' Optimus Prime is a redeco and slight retool of the European Generation 1 exclusive [[Turbomaster]] leader [[Thunder Clash]], transforming into a Cybertronic truck cab. It's easy to see why Thunder Clash was chosen to become the new Optimus Prime, given his adherence to Prime tradition: the cab disconnects to become the robot, while the trailer unfolds to become an assault tower with twin missile launchers. On the original Thunder Clash version of the mold, the launchers operated on a gravity-feed system that saw a new missile drop into the launcher from above each time one was fired, allowing for twelve to be fired in rapid succession, but for ''Machine Wars'' Prime, this feature had to be dialed back [[for safety reasons]]. The missiles had to be lengthened to prevent choking hazards, and so the toy's launchers were modified to accommodate them, becoming straightforward spring-loaded single-firing weapons.

: This version of the mold was planned to be [[redeco]]ed into [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] for the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line, but the release was canceled.

:The first reissue of the original Optimus Prime toy in North America since the Generation 1 toyline reached its end, this "[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]" edition of the figure was a Toys R Us exclusive. It was ''mostly'' identical to the original figure, save for some necessary modifications made [[for safety reasons]]: In the first instance of what would become a recognizable alteration to the mold, the toy's smokestacks were shortened, while the Combat Deck's firing missiles were elongated to prevent potential choking, as was the case with all other Commemorative Series figures' firing missiles. This release also had the trailer's launching feature removed.

:In 2012, a reissue of the Commemorative Series toy was released. Though the "Commemorative Series" label was not printed anywhere on the packaging, the included instructions retained the name.

:The toy itself is a mix of different versions. The cab has the safety modifications, including the shortened smokestacks and longer missiles (and thicker rifle), but also has the modified hitch of the 2011 Chronicle DOTM two pack. Meanwhile, the trailer is the lighter grey version from the 2008 Universe release. This version also seems to suffer from [[Mold#Deterioration|mold deterioration]].

:Marketed as a reissue of Powermaster Optimus Prime, this Toys R Us-exclusive Commemorative Series figure is in truth based on the Ginrai tooling on the toy that had previously been exclusive to Japan. It features a die-cast metal cab with translucent blue windows, and shortened, chrome smokestacks, and comes packaged with the drone [[Apex Bomber]] (formerly Ginrai's partner [[Godbomber]]), who splits into several components and combines with Prime to form "Apex Armor". As with all other Commemorative Series figures, Prime's new spring-loaded missile launcher featured an elongated missile.

:The figure was re-released in Hasbro's Asian markets in 2012, with no known changes to the figure itself but several modifications to the packaging that makes it easy to tell the two releases apart: The flap containing the [[package art]] is omitted entirely, the "Commemorative Series II" label is missing, the age recommendation and safety warning labels, the "Changes from double tractor trailer to battle station to super robot!" call-out and the name of the toy have all been shuffled around (with the words "battle" and "super" being omitted in the process), and most notably, the toy is no longer named "Powermaster Optimus Prime with Apex Armor", but simply "Optimus Prime", with Apex Bomber's existence no longer acknowledged anywhere on the packaging.

:As yet another in an increasingly large number of reissues of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy, this entry in the Japanese-exclusive ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' line of reissues added a few extra goodies to spice things up. Chiefly, the figure was armed with a new [[energon-axe]], based on the weapon used by Prime in the Generation 1 cartoon episode, "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]", which plugs into either of the headlight-holes that normally accommodate Prime's fists. Additionally, Prime came packaged with a ring binder folder designed to hold the pull-out character file sheets that were included with all the other ''Transformers Collection'' reissues. Notably, this figure reinstated the original, thick version of Prime's rifle as the standard for all future Japanese reissues.

:Standing only two-and-a-quarter inches tall, ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' Optimus Prime was the smallest fully transforming G1 Optimus toy for a while, at least until the release of his chubby super-deformed [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Q-Transformers|Q-Transformers]] versions. He features an accurate transformation sequence based on the original full-sized toy, replacing the detachable hands with actual sculpted fists, and even including a tiny version of his laser rifle. Unsurprisingly, he also has little articulation and is only capable of moving his arms and legs.

:His trailer and Roller were also available as a separate set in the same wave, as a rare [[shortpacking|shortpacked]] figure with the ID number "GTF-01B". It is a simplified version of the original Combat Deck, lacking features like the interior deco and the lift arm of the artillery robot, but still nonetheless looking fairly accurate to the original toy.

Both of Prime's modes are represented by non-transforming individual figures, which come together in a two-pack. In-box, his truck form is even packed in a miniature recreation of his original Japanese packaging, which also includes a shrunken version of his sticker sheet.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-1'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, gun mode Megatron, Megatron's scope, stock and silencer, energon-axe, cardboard trailer (Japanese release only)

: As the name suggests, this impressive incarnation of Optimus Prime was produced in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand. So successful was the figure that ''ToyFare'' magazine ultimately ranked it #1 in their quest for "Best Toy Ever".<ref>[http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/toyfare/000054376.cfm ToyFare Magazine Best Toys Ever]</ref>

:Created with the specific purpose of producing an Optimus Prime as accurate to the original animated series as possible, the toy is exceptionally poseable, partially constructed from die-cast metal, features rubber tires and vacuum-metalized plastic and is heavily detailed, with sliding pistons in its joints and working spring-loaded suspension in vehicle mode. The figure also contains multiple non-intrusive gimmicks, such as a moving [[mouthplate]] to emulate Prime's traditional method of speech, flip-up communications panels on the forearms depicting images of [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], and an opening, light-up Matrix chamber in the chest, which contains a removable vacuum-metalized Matrix of Leadership that can also be pulled open.

:Optimus Prime comes with many accessories in addition to the aforementioned Matrix, including the character's traditional laser rifle, now termed (and henceforth known as) an [[ion blaster]]. The initial release of the figure cast the ion blaster in grey plastic, but later assortments recast it in its more familiar black coloration. Other accessories include a transparent orange energon-axe that plugs into either wrist when Prime's fist is retracted, and even a non-transforming gun mode Megatron weapon, with removable stock, silencer and scope accessories, in homage to [[Countdown to Extinction (episode)|several]] [[The Insecticon Syndrome|instances]] in the Generation 1 cartoon when Prime was forced to wield his enemy. Pack-in bonuses that came with the figure included an inner cardboard tray illustrated to resemble the interior of Prime's Combat Deck, and in later releases, a small poster drawn by [[Pat Lee]].

:Takara's version of the figure was released in their markets slightly earlier, as the first of what would come to be several installments in their ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' line. In addition to coming with a cardboard trailer that the buyer could assemble to "complete" Prime's truck mode, Takara's release differed from Hasbro's by featuring longer smokestacks (kept short on the Hasbro version [[for safety reasons]], but incorrectly shown to be long in the stock photography shown at right), and lacking the black scorch-marked "battle damage" paint applications Hasbro included on the figure's shoulders, wrists and abdomen.

:This sculpt was redecoed by Takara into a golden Lucky Draw figure and later released in its original coloration with a trailer as a "Perfect Edition" (see below for both), while Hasbro would later redeco it into their ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''-branded "[[#Classics|DVD Edition]]". The mold was also used to make ''Masterpiece'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] and "[[Eldedroid|Convoy Black Version]]", representing one of many drones built in Prime's image, rather than Prime himself.

:In ''[[Transformers History Collection]]'', a [[Blindpacking|blind-packed]] Transformers trading figure line, Takara released an add-on hand for ''Masterpiece'' Convoy as a [[Chase figure]]. The hand holds a [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] figure and clips on to the end of Optimus Prime's arm, making the arm slightly longer than normal.

:Offered as part of a Lucky Draw campaign in August 2004, this extremely rare version of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy is almost entirely vacuum-metalized gold, lacking any other painted detail or stickers. The parts which are not viable are molded in a flat golden plastic; the only exceptions are its rubber tires, the core of the Matrix and the energon-axe, which remain black, blue and orange, respectively. Whether or not the figure was intended to evoke Optimus Prime's [[:File:Goldenlagoon prime perceptor.jpg|entirely-golden appearance]] in the cartoon episode "[[The Golden Lagoon (episode)|The Golden Lagoon]]", when he was coated with [[electrum]], is unknown; given that entirely chroming a figure gold is a fairly standard deco for Lucky Draw figures, it may just be happy coincidence more than anything else.

:The figure comes packaged in the standard ''Masterpiece'' Convoy box, with the only telltale sign of its fabled contents being the replacement of the traditionally silver foil lettering on the box with gold. It's not clear how many were made, but it is thought to be no more than 10 or 20.

: For this re-release of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy, Takara submitted to the biggest desire fans had for the figure and produced a full-size, fully transforming plastic and die-cast metal trailer. The trailer opens up into Convoy's Combat Deck, with storage for its accessories and a functional repair drone, though Roller is conspicuous by its absence. Like the original Combat Deck, the drone can extend through holes in the roof and front of the closed trailer, and the interior has enough room to accommodate one ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' figure in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]. Some reports suggest that the paint on this figure's chest chips more easily than past editions.

: This version of Convoy, and Hasbro's 20th Anniversary DVD version of the toy depicts [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] on its communicators rather than Bumblebee and Starscream.

: Continuating the trend begun by their previous release of ''Masterpiece'' Ultra Magnus in 2005, Hasbro [[Australia]] released Convoy Perfect Edition as a Target Australia [[exclusive]] in 2008. Takara themselves then made the figure available for a second time in October 2009.

: Released by TakaraTomy as part of a 2010 promotion honoring the "future era" of the original cartoon (which was set in 2010 in Japanese continuity, you see!), this exceptionally morbid re-release of the ''Masterpiece'' Convoy figure recolors the Autobot leader in blacks and greys, representing ''his dead body'' from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''—but don't worry, kids, it's actually a "sleep mode", according to the figure's name! Limited to 2010 pieces in Japan (see what they did there?), it comes with all its customary accessories, including the Perfect Edition trailer, redecoed where appropriate: the trailer itself has become translucent, its energon-axe is now transparent grey, and Megatron, in another movie homage, is rendered in translucent purple, evoking the scene depicting his transformation into [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. The figure was also released in other parts of Asia as a limited edition of 2010 as well, combined with the Japanese edition for 4020 total. The Japanese version denotes "Serial Number in Japan: ####/2010" on its bio card with the number out of 2010, while the Asian version denotes "C1 - ####/2010" with the number out of 2010 on its bio card.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-1L'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, gun mode Megatron, Megatron's scope, stock and silencer, energon-axe, sound stage

:"Convoy Last Production" was the final re-use of the ''Masterpiece'' toy mold before it was at last retired after numerous re-releases and redecos. The figure is essentially identical to the original Japanese MP-1 release, aside from a slightly brighter red, and the addition of the words "LAST SHOT" in Transformers typeface molded into the small of Convoy's back, hidden beneath its headlight-flaps in [[robot mode]]. Lacking the trailer of MP-4, the figure instead comes with a redecoed version of the electronic base included with Hasbro's "[[#20thDVD|DVD Edition]]" of the figure from five years prior, which now features a collection of sixteen soundbytes of Convoy delivering famous lines from the Japanese version of the Generation 1 cartoon, recited by the character's original Japanese voice actor [[Tesshō Genda]]. The base was promoted as containing a hint as to the identity of the next ''Masterpiece'' toy; as it would turn out, this was a new version of Convoy himself (see below), foreshadowed by a sound clip on the base which played only intermittently, and which had Convoy announce that he would "soon be reborn".

:For its release in Korea, Hasbro Asia provided a collector coin featuring truck-mode Optimus Prime on one side and "MP-01L" on the other. The coin came mounted on a card featuring lineart of the Autobot leader's head, the stark black design of which could be mistaken for promoting the earlier "Sleep Mode" release. The limited release (and general lack of enthusiasm for the collector coins in Korea) makes this one of the more difficult Masterpiece coins to find.

*'''Convoy''' (2011, 2016)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-10'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Ion blaster#mp10|Ion blaster]], [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#mp10|Matrix of Leadership]], [[Energon-axe#mp10|energon-axe]], [[Combat Deck (G1)#mp10|trailer/Combat Deck]], [[Roller (G1)#Masterpiece|Roller]], [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#Masterpiece|Spike Witwicky figurine]]
:MP-10 Convoy, advertised as a "perfect new model" on its packaging, is an entirely new tooling of Generation 1 Optimus Prime. Convoy is now smaller, making him more in-scale with other recent ''Masterpiece'' toys, such as [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Rodimus]], and comes with a trailer and various accessories. While the front of the vehicle mode's cab is an accurate depiction of a mid-to-late-1980s Freightliner FLT cabover, the back half, (which is, as usual, made out of Convoy's legs) is much larger and robot-leggier in proportion. (So much that they sculpt a ladder on each side.)

:Many of the small features and electronics of the original ''Masterpiece'' mold are left out. Instead, this Convoy features better overall cartoon accuracy (chest interior, head, etc.), an extensive red paint job that covers much of his red plastic, corrected robot mode proportions, improved articulation, and its gun can now collapse and store inside a compartment on its back in either mode. In addition to Convoy's trailer, which can transform into Combat Deck, it also comes with Roller, a small Spike Witwicky figurine, a die-cast metal Matrix of Leadership (with a clear blue plastic center), and an energy axe that slips over Convoy's right hand. Spike can fit inside the cab in vehicle mode, ride in Roller's seat, or fit into any of the seating compartments inside Convoy's trailer. Roller has options to plug in Convoy's gun or pull Convoy's trailer, and the trailer itself can store Convoy's weapons in any mode. Although not easily breakable, care must be taken for posing the index fingers; extending the finger even far would cause it to pop off.

:Being a brand new and intricate remake of the Autobot leader, MP-10 was used as the gold standard in terms of scale for future Masterpiece figures, with all the upcoming releases being sized to best match him. Much like his older incarnation, he was also cherished by collectors, generating heated debates on which version is the best one up to this day.<ref>https://www.google.pt/search?q=mp01+vs+mp10</ref>

:This figure was re-released in 2016, with the packaging now advertising the "Long Life Design" award which the ''Masterpiece'' line won that same year.<ref name="lldaward">[https://www.g-mark.org/award/describe/44648 Good Design Long Life Award: Transformers Masterpiece]</ref>

*'''G1 Convoy''' (2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RM-01'''
**''Accessories:'' "Convoy Gun", missile launcher, missile, energon-axe, 4 fists (2 left, 2 right)

: ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' "G1 Convoy" (as he is amusingly referred to even in fiction) visibly takes its cue from ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime, featuring a similar sculpt, but sharing few to none of the larger toy's other attributes, least of all anything that could be described as a successful transformation.

:G1 Convoy comes with two sets of fists, each pair featuring differently-shaped fist holes: one pair with square holes to hold the figure's "Convoy Gun" (as his ion blaster is called), and the other with round holes to hold the spring-loaded translucent blue missile launcher (a generic accessory also available with ''Robotmasters'' [[Megatron (BW)/toys|Beast Megatron]] and [[Optimus Primal/toys|Beast Convoy]]). The fists are swapped out by simply popping them out of the wrist-hinge that holds them in place; the figure also includes an energon-axe that can be inserted into the wrist instead of a fist.

: ''Universe'' Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Scourge (RID)#Spychanger|Scourge]] [[Spy Changer]] toy. He replaces most of the black plastic with predominantly red and blue, with silver for detailing, with an overall deco making him resemble the original Optimus Prime. Like most Spychangers, he features high speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly.

: Originally a KB Toys exclusive, the first release of this toy (and the others in the assortment) did not have any sub-line designation at all, but later releases for other chains, most notably "budget" chains like Family Dollar, marked them as ''Universe'' product.

:This mold would later be redecoed into [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Optimus Prime Figure|a Spy Changer version of]] the live-action movie [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].

==Hybrid Style==
*'''Convoy''' (2006)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''T.H.S.-02'''[[File:THS02Convoy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Expensive and tiny.]]
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Combat Deck, Roller, ion blaster, gas pump, energon-axe, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, [[jet pack|rocket pack]], 8 fists (4 left, 4 right), Autobot insignia stand

: ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime is an ''insanely'' detailed and complex transforming toy, created under the supervision of famed mecha designer [[Shōji Kawamori]]. Standing only three and three-quarter inches tall in robot mode, the figure is partially constructed from die-cast metal and features one of the most complex transformation sequences ever seen on a ''Transformers'' figure of its size. Alas, the small size of the figure also works against it, as it required several design concessions that resulted in (if we're being nice about it) an unimpressive cab mode.

:Prime is loaded with a ridiculous number of features and accessories. The robot itself is highly poseable, and both the smokestacks on Prime's shoulders and the fuel tanks on his legs can be rotated forward to act as guns, even featuring sculpted detail to this effect. As ever, he comes with a trailer that opens up into his crazy-detailed Combat Deck, featuring more action features than ever before. In trailer mode alone, it features a flip-down support stand so it can stand alone, a spring-loaded pop-out ramp instead of a fold-down one, and when the trailer is split for transformation, the traditional support legs underneath automatically swing out into place. The trailer houses most of Prime's accessories, including his ion blaster (with a moveable ammo clip to allow for multiple poses) and energon-axe, as well as his classic gas pump accessory, now with a poseable wire instead of a rubber hose. Two fold-out compartments provide storage space for six of Prime's interchangeable fists, while the other two remain attached the robot: two clenched, two open, a pointing right fist, a tilted left fist (for holding the ion blaster's ammo clip), and two fists with slots to grip the miniscule Matrix of Leadership that fits in a tiny chamber in Prime's chest. The Combat Deck's artillery robot features two flip-out handles that Prime can grip as if aiming the drone's guns, and Roller is also included, with three different 3mm ports to hold Prime's gun and gas pump. Lastly, Prime comes with a rocket pack like those used by the Autobots in such Generation 1 cartoon episodes as "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1|Dinobot Island]]", and a stand shaped like the Autobot insignia that allows him to be displayed in mid-air, as if in flight. The rocket pack also has 3mm ports for Prime's weapons, and stores on the front of the trailer in vehicle mode.

:Purchase of a ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime at a Japanese [[Toys"R"Us]] store allowed the buyer the option of also purchasing the exclusive ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Smallest Transforming Transformers|Hot Rod]] toy.

**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Combat Deck, Roller, ion blaster, gas pump, energon-axe, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, rocket pack, 8 fists (4 left, 4 right), Autobot insignia stand, 2 missile launchers, 2 heads

:Available exclusively through e-Hobby, this black and teal repaint of ''Hybrid Style'' Convoy features the traditional "[[Nemesis Prime (disambiguation)|Nemesis Prime]]" color scheme, but represents a version of Optimus Prime himself. In addition to all the original accessories, the toys also includes several more deliciously metatextual goodies, themed around the ''Generation 2'' toy and comics: two new large guns patterned after the new weapons wielded by the ''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime toy, and two additional (blue) Prime heads that can be swapped with the figure's regular noggin, sculpted explicitly in the style of [[Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|''Generation 2'' comic]] artist [[Derek Yaniger]]. One head is pristine, the other decorated to match the battle damage seen on the cover of the [[War Without End!|first ''Generation 2'' issue]].

:As the more franchise-savvy TransFans may realise, these extra parts, plus the black trailer of Convoy Black Version, can all be used to modify the original, red ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime into a comic-accurate ''Generation 2'' version, complete with a black trailer, trailer-mounted guns and your choice of Yaniger-style heads.

:This figure came in a unique box, packaged with a [[Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version|mini-comic]], both illustrated by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]].

[[File:Alternators OptimusPrime.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I don't come with a creepy girl...]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2006)
**''Alternator ID number:'' '''21'''
**''Accessories:'' Engine/gun
: ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Optimus Prime transforms into an accurate 1:24 scale Dodge Ram SRT-10. The vehicle mode features rubber tires, functional steering, opening hood, tail gate and doors with a detailed cabin interior. Several of the details of his [[robot mode]] body are based on the sculpt of the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime figure, but the head itself shares more similarities with the Powermaster mold. He is armed with a small pistol which transforms into his vehicle mode engine.

[[File:Convoy BT.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|...and neither do I...]]
:This figure was originally conceived by Hasbro to be another character (exactly who is unknown), rather than Optimus Prime, but Takara insisted that the toy be made into Optimus to help it sell well in their markets, as the vehicle mode was no particular draw, given its scarcity in Japan. Reportedly, the figure cost twice as much as other Alternators to construct, so Hasbro had to bow to this demand so Takara would help fund it. Ironically, Takara eventually wound up soliciting the figure ''not'' as Prime, but as his ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' lookalike, [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]] (perhaps connected to the Powermasteresque headsculpt), before its Japanese release was cancelled and moved over into the ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' toyline (see below).

: It took two further years, but this figure was eventually released as part of the Japanese counterpart to the ''Alternators'' line (''Binaltech'') in 2008. ''Binaltech'' Convoy features some additional paint details, like his silver pelvis, additional patterns on his shoulders, and red paint on his engine-gun, and like all ''Binaltech'' figures, he also includes die-cast metal pieces. Unlike previous Binaltech releases, a bio-card was not included.

:This sculpt was also used to create ''Alternators'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]]

**''Accessories:'' Engine/gun, "[[Surfblade]]" surfboard/sword weapon, [[Marissa Faireborn]] figurine with stand and 2 pairs of arms and legs

: ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' Convoy is a redeco of ''Alternators'' Optimus Prime. While the figures may appear similar at first glance, given that ''Kiss Players'' Prime is still red, blue and black, there are many subtle differences, not least of all the replacement of the ''Alternators'' figure's bare, flat red plastic with a deep metallic red paint. Several of his body parts are cast in different colors of plastic (for example, his shins, formerly black, are now blue, while his formerly-blue hands are now black), and he features more intricate paint applications on his shoulders, and especially his pelvis, which is decorated to look like Prime's traditional bumper.

:In addition to the small engine-pistol of his ''Alternators'' figure, Prime comes with the "Surfblade", a pink surfboard that can be reconfigured into either two small knives or a large double-bladed sword. As with all the ''Kiss Players'' figures, Prime also comes with a [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of a cute girl: in this case, Marissa Faireborn, who can perch upon his shoulder or sit in his driver's seat, and comes with two pairs of interchangeable arms and legs. Additionally, the set includes a CD featuring the first five episodes of the [[Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|''Kiss Players'' radio drama]], as well as the exclusive bonus audio adventure, "[[Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#CD collections and special episodes|Someday, Under the Sun]]."

:This set was originally intended to be released under the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Binaltech Asterisk]]'' line, as "Black Convoy meets Marissa", but this release was cancelled before it was officially even announced.

: Based on Optimus Prime's [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] form as seen in the [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] comic book "[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]", this version of Prime transforms into Cybertronian truck. The figure was personally designed by comic artist [[Don Figueroa]], who created the original comic design in the first place, and his signature is left on the figure in the most literal way: the word "DON" can be seen sculpted into the barrel of his silver ion blaster.

:As a ''Titanium'' figure, Prime is made in large part from die-cast metal, but like so many of the other toys in the ''Titanium'' line, his plastic joints have trouble supporting his heavy metal weight. He comes with the generic display stand shared by all of the 6" "Cybertron Heroes", with a unique removable nameplate.

:As the mass retail release of the last waves of the ''Titanium'' "Cybertron Heroes" figures was delayed for several months, the two-pack version of Megatron was at least initially more widely available than the individually packaged one.

:Despite being mentioned in the joint [[instructions]] leaflet for the set, neither figure includes their display base.

: ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Optimus Prime is an all-new modern Optimus Prime design based upon the original Optimus Prime, as is the intention for the ''Classics'' toyline. He transforms into a modern cab-over style truck of made up model, dominated by a large wind vane on his roof. As with most ''Classics'' toys, he features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]].

:In [[robot mode]], his wind vane transforms into a large ion blaster, and his smokestacks transform into a smaller laser cannon. Additionally, both weapons can combine together to form a double-barrelled over-shoulder weapon. Undocumented in the instructions, Optimus can also use the wind vane as a shield, If one of his fists is folded down.

:The toy has a trailer hitch, but does not come with a trailer. Fortunately, [[Third party|third-party]] manufacturers have created trailers compatible with the ''Classics'' Prime mold.

:Unfortunately, the yellow paint on his forearms tends to flake off.

: This ''Classics'' Optimus Prime is a smaller, Deluxe Class figure with a noticeable physical resemblance to Takara's ''[[#Robotmasters|Robotmasters]]'' Prime figure, and a transformation that is about as successful. The figure is armed with a tommy gun-shaped laser rifle that transforms into a turret-like configuration and mounts on the rear of his truck mode, and features a spinning "power punch" action that sees the whole upper half of his torso spin when a button on his back is pressed. Pressing the button "unlocks" the spinning mechanism; pull ''hard'' on the button, and you can lock the torso back into place.

:In the United States, Prime was only available in a special two-pack with a similarly unique ''Classics'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Megatron toy]], and the specially-produced "[[Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle|The Ultimate Battle]]" DVD (which is, inappropriately enough, entirely about the [[Unicron Trilogy]]). The two-pack (including the DVD) was also available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] "Bonus Value" version with two randomly selected members of the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Giant Planet Mini-Con Team]], in the combinations [[Overcast (Cybertron)|Overcast]]/[[Longarm (Cybertron)|Longarm]], Overcast/[[Deepdive (Cybertron)|Deepdive]] and Deepdive/Longarm. International markets, including European countries, saw the two-pack in a considerably smaller, differently-shaped box that was lacking the DVD case (the DVD was instead made available separately). In addition, Mexico, Singapore and some European countries such as the Netherlands and Hungary also received the two figures on individual cardbacks. For the United States market, the two-pack was [[rebranding|rebranded]] and re-released in [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|2003 ''Universe'']]-branded packaging later in 2007, available from Dollar General, Big Lots and [[KB Toys]], and ''again'' in [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']]-branded packaging in 2011, this time available from Dollar General and Big Bad Toy Store.

:This figure was later ''also'' made available without redeco as part of the "Leader for the Ages" two-pack released under the [[#Transformers (2007)|live-action movie line]] (see below) and saw several redecos for [[#Universe (2008)|''Universe'']] ("Special Edition", below), ''Welcome to Transformers 2010'' ("Sons of Cybertron", above) and [[#United|United]] (below).

*'''Optimus Prime''' (20th Anniversary DVD Edition, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leader, gun mode Megatron, Megatron's scope, stock and silencer, energon-axe, display stand

: Produced to coincide with the 20th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' and its release on DVD by [[Sony]], this edition of Prime is a redeco of his [[#20th Anniversary|20th Anniversary]] figure. It replaces the original's metallic paint with flatter colors and does away with any and all vacuum-metalized plastic, as well as altering several other small details across the body, like the color of the lights on his feet and chest.

:Prime comes with all the accessories of his previous release, although his ever-changing ion blaster is now somewhat confusingly cast in blue plastic. He features one major additional accessory: an electronic display base sculpted with the image of the Matrix and the Autobot insignia. Pressing the insignia's crest triggers a series of electronic soundbytes, mostly quotes from the movie recited not by original actor [[Peter Cullen]], but by Hasbro's in-house actor, [[Ron Hayden]]: "Autobots, transform and roll out!", "I want you to make a special run to Autobot City," "Megatron must be stopped!", "All we need is a little energon, and a lot of luck," and two samples of the classic [[Transformation#The noise|transformation sound effect]], one ascending, one descending.

:The display stand itself was later redecoed as a mail-in prize for TakaraTomy's ''Transformers 2010'' promotion, intended to be used with ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Convoy]], and again when it was packaged with the "Last Production" run of the Masterpiece Optimus Prime toy.

*'''Pepsi Optimus Prime''' (Autobot, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, ion blaster, trailer

:Inspired by the [[#Generation 1|1985 promotional version]] of Optimus Prime that featured Pepsi stickers on his trailer, this outlandish incarnation of Prime is a slightly altered version of Takara's 2005 [[Pepsi Convoy]] figure (which represented a different character to Prime). The figure was only sold by [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] at various conventions, and given away as a promotional prize by Pepsi, via their [[Mountain Dew]] brand.

:A redeco of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime cab robot sporting an egregious number of Pepsi-themed paint masks and details, Pepsi Prime's differences from Pepsi Convoy are minimal: he features the shortened smokestacks previously seen on the [[#Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] release of the mold, the blue pattern on his decals are different (matching the American Pepsi can/bottle look at the time rather than the one used in Japan), and also has a different layout for the Pepsi logo on his right shoulder. Like Pepsi Convoy, he comes with an entirely new trailer unit, specially designed to carry either a single 500ml (16.9 oz) size [[soft drink]] bottle, three 350ml cans, or 12 bottle caps (bottle cap figurines being a common and popular collectible item in Japan). In a first for the Prime mold, the figure's fists store in holes on the underside of the trailer while he is in vehicle mode. His ion blaster (which also stores under the trailer) is the first Hasbro reissue to feature the original, thick-barrel sculpt, which was reinstated to the mold by the ''[[#Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' release of Prime a few years prior.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''01'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster
:Surely one of the strangest examples of licensed ''Transformers'' products, ''[[Transformers Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' Convoy transforms into a ''shoe''. Something of a [[shellformer]], this baffling incarnation of Prime is colored primarily white and red in his alt mode of a realistic-looking (if notably undersized) Nike Free 7.0 sneaker, complete with gratuitously long real fabric shoelaces. In [[robot mode]], he is made instantly recognizable by his incorporation of some additional blue and silver in predictable areas, and a traditionally Prime-styled head. Less traditionally, and somewhat perversely, Prime's feet are sculpted in the likeness of his own sneaker mode, making it seem like he's wearing himself!

:His gun splits into two halves and stores inside his [[kibble]] in shoe mode; in an undocumented feature, it has two handle pegs on opposite sides, so that it can be held either at its far end or halfway along its length. The gun halves can also be plugged together in two different ways.

:This figure was, in fact, the ''only'' mold in the ''Sports Label'' line. It was redecoed into the "Marine Free" version of Prime himself (see below), and given a new head to create ''Sports Label'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Sports Label|Megatron]]''

:A new series of reissues means a new release of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure, and Takara's ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' series proved no different. This edition of the figure featured no extra accessories, but it did include the original, thick-barrelled version of Prime's rifle, as reinstated to the mold by the ''[[#Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' version of the toy a few years prior. Both his blue and red plastics are lighter than normal, though not to the extent of Hasbro's 25th Anniverary releases. Notably, this edition addresses the small but persistent issue of Prime's shoulder-sticker: the figure's shoulders are textured with small bumps, which had, since 1984, made evenly applying the Autobot symbol sticker to his left arm a challenge. ''Encore'' Prime finally replaces the sticker with a tampograph, and also adds one to his right shoulder for symmetry.

[[File:MusicLabel-toy iPodConvoy.JPG|thumb|upright=1.66|You just paid 140 bucks for a new headsculpt, didn't you? I bet you don't even ''own'' an iPod...]]
: Hot on the heels of their licensing deals with Pepsi and Nike, TakaraTomy got themselves a slice of Apple™ pie and released Convoy —playing [[iPod]] speaker— as part of their small, musically-themed ''[[Transformers Music Label|Music Label]]'' line. This version of Prime is an all-white redeco of the original Generation 1 cab robot, which (much like the "Marine Version" of Prime from the ''[[#Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' line) makes it seem like he ought to be Ultra Magnus. The figure is actually even derived from the retool of the mold created for the original Ultra Magnus figure, as distinguished by the elongated hubcap pegs on the front wheels. Like Pepsi Prime before it, the figure's fists now store in peg holes on the under side of its trailer. The toy lacks any of the original Prime's stickers (even the silver stripe on his chest is now a [[paint operation]]) and includes the original thick-barrelled version of Prime's blaster. The toy features a brand new headsculpt based on the [[#20th Anniversary|20th Anniversary]] Prime figure, given additional poseability not previously seen on the figure by being mounted on a [[ball joint]].

:This, of course, is all secondary to the main draw of the figure: it pulls an all-white trailer, which transforms into a working iPod speaker dock by rotating a substantial wedge of its full length 90 degrees . The dock features three working buttons; power, volume up and volume down, as well as an Autobot sigil indicator light. Included is a wall-plugging (Japanese) A/C adaptor with a long lead that plugs into the reverse of the trailer. Although American importers shouldn't have too much trouble, those living in parts of the world using higher strength A/C current outlets should be warned NOT to simply plug the A/C adaptor in with only a socket adapter, as this will overload the device and fry it completely. Buying the appropriate kind of universal A/C adaptor with advice from an electronics specialty shop is recommended.

*'''Optimus Prime —speakers for iPod—''' (2008)
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/iPod dock, 2 fists (left and right), ion blaster
:Designated "Optimus Prime" rather than the traditional Japanese "Convoy", this figure is a redeco of the previous ''Music Label'' Convoy figure into the character's traditional red, blue and silver color scheme. Unlike previous re-issues of the mold, iPod Optimus Prime's sports a paint application similar to KissPlayers Convoy, having its ABS/PVC parts painted over with a thin layer of his iconic red, white (silver if you will) and blue motif paint applications (with the exception of his iPod docking trailer). This includes his trailer, though the effect is somewhat marred by the large, visible gap on one side. When reconfigured into dock mode, the interior surfaces surrounding the speakers are decorated with black-on-silver techno-patterns as well as three "Optimus Prime" logos. The recessed space also features a stylised, almost [[Frank Miller]]esque, high-contrast portrait of Prime's face, although this is largely covered when an iPod is inserted. The figure comes in identical packaging to the original ''Music Label'' Convoy, save for the addition of a sticker illustrating the different color of its contents.

:Exclusive to [http://www.ldhshop.jp/ LDH Shop], this redeco of the ''Music Label'' Convoy toy is utterly ridiculous and was created as a promotion for the Japanese pop band {{w|Exile (Japanese band)|EXILE}}. While Convoy himself has EXILE written on his right forearm, his trailer sports the "Love Dream Happiness" tagline of LDH Inc.[http://www.ldh.co.jp/shopping/index.html], as well as the "EXILE Perfect Year 2008" logo of the "EXILE Perfect Year 2008 Ultimate Best Box" boxset, which was released some months after he was.

:Categorically, it was at this point we learned that neither Takara nor Optimus Prime possess shame.

**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster

:Rounding out a bumper year of Japanese-[[exclusive]] Generation 1 Optimus Primes, the Takara-licensed Kawada brand ''Diablock'' Convoy is a fully transformable Lego-style block building figure similar in premise to the earlier American ''[[Built to Rule]]'' sets. The ''Diablock'' figure, however, easily outstrips the ''Built to Rule'' sets by both being an accurate representation of the toy on which it is based, and being able to transform between modes ''without'' having to be partially disassembled and put back together first.

:Forming a roughly 11-inch figure when fully assembled, ''Diablock'' Convoy is highly articulated, save for his head, which is only able to move up and down. Said head is also by far the most stylised aspect of the figure, with no real attempt to approximate Prime's face or mouthplate, instead featuring only a reversed block that gives the odd impression of a cycloptic eye. It is possibly intended to actually represent his forehead grill, as a yellow block inside his head construction remains barely-visible through a slit in his face, possibly intended to represent the classic toy's yellow eyes.

:The figure's [[transformation scheme]] is based on the original G1 figure, the only differences being that the fists are not removed but become the headlights, and instead of flipping backwards inside the chest, ''Diablock'' Convoy's noggin flips forwards with the aid of opening chest windows. A "laser rifle" in the shape of his ion cannon can be built from black bricks, and stickers bearing the Autobot [[Insignia|faction symbol]] can be placed on his shoulders, although this is not recommended as it is designed to permanently stick to multiple tiles which dislodge easily and may damage the sticker.

:''Henkei! Henkei! Transformers'' Convoy is a redeco of ''[[#Classics|Classics]]'' Optimus Prime. He features a significantly altered colour scheme, generally to make the toy more closely resemble his appearance in the Generation 1 cartoon and the original toyline. His truck mode features less silver paint striping, but compensates with a [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metalized]] grill/fender area. In [[robot mode]] all of his previously grey plastic is replaced with red plastic, with a majority of it being painted silver, chromed, or painted gunmetal gray. He features a different shade of red, blue, and clear blue plastic than the Classics version. Since ''Henkei!'' toys do not feature a heat-sensitive rubsign, ''Henkei'' Convoy has two Autobot sigils tampographed onto his shoulders.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2008)
**''Accessories:'' Laser Blaster, 2 fists (left & right), trailer/Combat Deck, Roller, 4 rockets, hose, nozzle, fuel pump, sound effects module, comic, DVD

:Sold at the rather exorbitant price of $75, this re-release of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy is actually one of the most visually different from the other "straight" reissues of the mold, despite Hasbro's assurance that this is the toy you had as a kid. Positively ''anemic'' in comparison with the original toy, this Prime's red parts are visibly paler than usual, while his blue parts are much lighter (although the version released at Canadian retail reportedly sports a deeper shade of red again). This shade of blue extends to both Roller (a lighter blue than his traditional dark shade, yet darker than the lightest the figure has been in its history) and the internal workings of his Combat Deck, which is itself a much flatter shade of light grey, compared to its normal dark, swirled metallic silver color. In addition, the toy features the now-customary shortened smokestacks, and the elongated missiles seen on the [[#Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] release. While all reissues of the Prime mold since 2003 have used the original thick-barreled mold for his ion blaster, this version includes the slender sculpt instead.

:As a 25th anniversary set, Prime includes several new pack-in bonuses: a reprint of the [[The Transformers (issue)|first issue]] of the original [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|comic book]], a DVD containing all three parts of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]] pilot [[More than Meets the Eye (mini-series)|"More than Meets the Eye"]], and three desktop wallpapers, and a battery-powered Autobot symbol that plays transforming sound effects, part of the first version of the ''Transformers'' [[theme song]], and three voice clips performed by Peter Cullen: "I am Optimus Prime!", "Autobot, transform and roll out!" and "Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost." There are some reports that the Autobot symbol could be worn out or damaged during the time of purchase.

:Outside the United States, this set was available in a thinner rectangular box. It contained all the original accessories from the American release, but not the DVD. An English-only version of this packaging format was available in Asia and Australia (initially only available at Myer stores, but later also at Toys"R"Us, Kmart and Target, eventually at drastically reduced prices), while a bilingual English/French packaging variant was available in Canada, still including—though not advertised on the packaging—the (English only) comic book.

:''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' Convoy transforms into a 1:32 scale Nissan GT-R, featuring die-cast metal parts, an opening hood, trunk and doors, as well as an interior, complete with his feet and thighs being sculpted to form the back seats. This complex figure stands at 6.5" tall, and is armed with a pair of blasters on each arm. In the hyper-dimensional world of the oft-confusing ''Alternity'' fiction, this figure specifically represents the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Story of Binaltech|Optimus Prime]] of [[universal stream]] [[Primax 903.0 Beta]].

:The mold suffers from a [[Design flaw|minor design oversight]], wherein the rear Nissan badge collides with his left leg strut when the left foot is hinged over and pegged into a clear plastic socket during transformation, with the results being that the connection is slightly crooked, isn't very secure, and sometimes pops off, and that the crooked pegging often causes the socket to crack.

:''Alternity'' Convoy was simultaneously available in both this silver coloration, and a deco based on his traditional appearance termed "Vibrant Red" (see below). The figure was later redecoed to create "[[Nemesis Prime (Universe)#Alternity 2|Convoy Super Black]]" (representing not Optimus Prime, but ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)|Nemesis Prime]]), ''Alternity'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Alternity|Ultra Magnus]], and ''Alternity'' [[Dai Atlas (Zone)#Alternity|Dai Atlas]].

**''Accessories:'' [[Laser Rod (weapon)|Sword]]

: Part of the sixth wave of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toyline]], this Optimus Prime is an all-new Deluxe class mold based on the original ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Laser Optimus Prime toy ([[#LaserOptimusPrime|see above]]). Transforming into a racing truck, he has some influences from the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus Prime]], including the more defined flames on his hood, athletic [[robot mode]] proportions and a more aggressive-looking translucent orange sword that can be held with both hands for maximum extreme chopitude. Optimus Prime features extensive use of translucent plastic in his arms, head and upper torso for a [[light-piping]] effect. Optimus also has a (non-detachable) matrix gimmick in robot mode that is formed by a relief pattern on the inside of the cab's side windows and is visible through the windshield/chest in robot mode. Like the Legends toy, he's part of "[[Reveal the Shield]]" and features a [[rubsign]], this time on the roof. He is also ''very'' articulated and poseable, even featuring ankles and wrists that are both [[Ball joint|ball-joint]]ed ''and'' [[Swivel joint|hinged]].

: The original Hasbro [[Stock photography|stock photos]] depict him as having red [[paint operation]]s on his kneecaps and the sunken ridges around his blue abs that the final product lacks. The photos on the cardback show him with a red Autobot symbol on his truck door and blue plastic instead of grey for the piece just in front of his rear tires. The back photo also depicts his side windows as being the same translucent orange as the front ones, when they are, in reality, a garish solid orange.

: Multiple reports suggest that the toy suffers from a [[design flaw]], inferior plastic quality, or both: Due to his hands having peg-holes that are a bit too small to accommodate 5mm posts, they have a tendency to show stress marks on the inside after pegging his sword handle (or most other pegs) inside. Stress marks also tend to appear near his tiny hinged wrists. Fortunately, there have been no reports of the hands actually ''breaking'' on either location thus far.

: This toy was redecoed into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]/[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Optimus Prime (SG)#BotCon2012|Optimus Prime]] and ''Timelines'' [[Scourge (RID)#Timelines|Scourge]], and was retooled into ''Timelines/Shattered Glass'' [[Ultra Magnus (SG)#Timelines|Ultra Magnus]].

**''Japanese ID number'': '''UN-01'''
**''Accessories'': "Assault rifle"

: The first toy in TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' toyline is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Generations|Optimus Prime]], transforming into a Cybertronic "armored truck". As has been TakaraTomy's wont of late, he now sports a metallic red paint job, with brighter pink paint applications and cooler grey parts, and features several additional paint details to those present on the Hasbro figure in the form of black chest windows and pink lines on his face mask. His rifle transforms as well, folding and plugging into the roof of the vehicle mode. The rifle can also peg into his forearms, and, in its compact configuration, can attach to his shoulders via peg holes on the backs of his front tires or stored behind his back in [[robot mode]].

: This mold was also used to make ''United'' [[Darkside Optimus Prime (United)|Darkside Optimus Prime]].

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''UN-22'''
**''Accessories:'' "[[Laser Rod (weapon)|Laser Rod]]" sword

:The third ''United'' Optimus Prime toy is a redeco and slight retool of the [[#Transformers (2010)|deluxe Prime figure]] from Hasbro's 2010 ''Transformers'' toyline, itself an homage to Prime's ''Generation 2'' "Laser" form. The toy features translucent blue plastic as opposed to Hasbro's orange, red paint is used on the biceps instead of blue paint, extra red paint applications on the knees like the original's sticker detail, and more broken-up red apps on the shoulders. Silver detailing was added to the cab mode on the grill, the bumper, and near the doors. The blue plastic in cab mode is now black plastic to make the figure more accurate to the ''Generation 2'' original. The gray plastic is changed from the Hasbro version to more closely match the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#G2reissue|2006 reissue of Laser Optimus Prime]]. Black paint was applied to the cab mode to mimic the fade from red to black on the original Laser Optimus, but still includes a flame deco like the Hasbro version, only in a different design. It lacks the roof-mounted rubsign of the Hasbro version, instead including Autobot insignias on the cab doors. (Disappointingly, they are Generation 1 insignias, rather than ''Generation 2'' ones!) Additionally, a retool was made to the peg on the inside of his right shoulder, to make it shorter and wider than the Hasbro version, allowing it to move freely without hitting the torso, unlike the Hasbro release.

**''Accessories:'' Smokestacks/blaster, wind vane/cannon

:Available [[exclusive]]ly at the [[Tokyo Toy Show]] 2012 (along with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Shining|''Prime'' Shining Optimus Prime]]), Black Optimus Prime is a very minor redeco of the previously unreleased [[#GenteiBlack|''Gentei! Gentei!'']] black version of [[#Henkei! Henkei!|''Henkei! Henkei!'' Convoy]], itself a redeco of the [[#Classics (2006)|''Classics'' Voyager toy]]. As such, Black Optimus Prime is mostly cast in black plastic, with some gray parts, translucent red windows and teal paint operations.

:The only differences with the unreleased version, aside from the packaging, are that silver paint has been added to the previously unpainted grill/fender area, the blue paint operations have been changed to teal, and the red Autobot insignias have been replaced by purple Decepticon ones. Prime's [[bio]] apparently explains that he took on this new color scheme in order to infiltrate the Decepticon ranks, in response to recent attacks by some new Decepticon forces pretending to be Autobots.

:This reissue of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure comes in a two-pack with the Deluxe-Class ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Chronicle|Optimus Prime figure]]. Prime himself is almost identical to the ''Encore'' release, save for his trailer hitch which was retooled to allow a peg to be inserted within it while still being able to be inserted into the trailer itself (making it compatible with his G1 trailer and the new trailer included). Like the Encore release, he features lighter colors and tampographed shoulder symbols (which vary slightly from the Encore release).

:His original trailer is not included with the set; instead, he comes with [[Armored Weapons Platform#Chronicle|a new deluxe-scaled trailer]], not available with any other figure, based on the one towed by Prime in ''Dark of the Moon''. The trailer is compatible with both figures, and sports [[5mm post]]-holes that will hold (among many other things) G1 Prime's laser rifle and the [[MechTech]] weapon Movie Prime is armed with.

*'''Matrix Optimus Prime''' (2011)
**''Pieces'': '''10'''
**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle

: Intended to be [[exclusive]] to [[BotCon 2011]], this redeco of the regular Optimus Prime Kreon has an open chest showing the [[Matrix of Leadership]] within. He comes with a G1 inspired gun and a black brick display stand.

: We say "intended", because in actuality, the thing appears to have been produced in such huge quantities that it's wound up being made available in ''loads'' of other places—it was handed out at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011, offered as a free giveaway with any order that included Transformers toys on [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]), as a free gift on the cover of the ''[[Awesome Autobots Activity Book]]'', and came as a free gift attached to, of all things, issue #240 of the [[United Kingdom|UK]] children's comic, ''[[Doctor|Doctor Who Adventures]]'' (but not the UK's [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Transformers comic]], you'll note!).

:A supposed factory error even caused this version (minus display stand) to be included in the larger Optimus Prime kit (see below). This problem has (presumably) been fixed, but it was awesome while it lasted.

**''Set number'': '''30689'''

**''Kreons'': Optimus Prime, Bluestreak, Skywarp, two Stunt Drivers
**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle, weapons sprue (sniper rifle, pistol, submachinegun, handcuffs, radio, ammo box), large tool sprue (shovel, hammer, electric drill, clamp), small tool sprue (socket wrench, screwdriver, wrench, hatchet), 2 traffic cones

: Naturally, Optimus Prime got the biggest of the sets in the first year of ''Kre-O''. The set can be built into a large long-nose tractor-trailer rig with a removable "sleeper" cab that hides a computer station, and a trailer that can carry the set's two motorcycles or open up to carry larger car builds. The robot mode build includes a huge Optimus, based largely on the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus]], though with a head based almost directly on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'' Voyager Optimus]]. He is armed with a distressingly plain brick that fires pressure-launched missiles (aka his smokestacks). Most of the leftover parts in robot mode become a "headquarters" which is mostly just a random assemblage of mismatched-color panels and a pair of barricades. Both main builds leave numerous parts unused if you go expressly by the instructions, but hey, it's a building kit, surely you can find ''someplace'' to apply most of them.

: The set comes with a bevy of [[Kreon]]s, including Optimus Prime (this one based heavily on [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 Optimus]]), [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Bluestreak]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Skywarp]], and a pair of human [[Stunt Driver]]s. A packaging error resulted in some releases of this set to come with the promotional "Matrix chest" Optimus (see above) rather than the normal version pictured here.

:Speaking of errors, the instruction manuals (he has two) both have errors in their parts listings, showing numerous pieces in the wrong colors or not making it clear that some parts are, well, clear. Making things more confusing, not all of these miscolors are reflected in the step-by-step instructions, while a couple new ones are added there.

Two of his limbs are based on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)| Armada]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]; one "normal" (Inferno helmet), one pre-[[Earth]]-body (Knock Out helmet).

Both his truck and [[robot mode]] are based on his [[Don Figueroa]]-designed body from [[IDW Publishing|IDW's]] [[The Transformers (IDW)|ongoing series]], and features [[5mm post|5mm-compatible]] hands and roof. He comes with an [[Ion blaster#Legends|Ion Blaster]] which has both 5mm and 3mm posts.

: He comes with "[[Roller (G1)#Generations|Autobot Roller]]", who can transform into a six-wheel armored SUV, a robot with [[C joint|3mm-compatible]] hands, and a weapon with a 5mm handle. He has a 5mm hole in vehicle mode and a 3mm hole in weapon mode for mounting the Ion Blaster.

: Not depicted in the instructions or stock photos, Roller can attach to Prime in vehicle mode via two tabs on the vehicle front which slot into two corresponding slots on Prime's feet. Another undocumented feature is that the butt of the Ion Blaster can be inserted between the barrels of Roller's weapon mode to form a longer weapon. Also not shown in the instructions but depicted on the stock photo on the card-back is that Prime's shoulderpads can be rotated up; the intended positioning for this is notched, although you can position them at other angles.

He comes with his [[Ion blaster#Deluxe|Ion Blaster]] and an [[Energon-axe#Deluxe|Energon Axe]] with a transparent red-orange blade, both of which can peg onto 5mm ports on his hands and vehicle rear sides. Although not depicted on the instructions, the Ion Blaster can also peg into the hole in the larger blade of the Energon Axe.

:The American release is packed in with a copy of IDW's ''[[Omega's Conundrum|Spotlight: Orion Pax]]'', which sports a 'Hasbro Exclusive Cover' cropped from the [[Clayton Crain]] [[:File:SpotlightOP cvrRI.jpg|retailer incentive cover]] for the issue. In Europe and Canada, the figure was released without the Spotlight.

:Most of the first-wave Orion Pax toys released in monolingual English [[packaging]] sport a bizarre [[quality control#Packaging images and labelling|error]]: The [[package art|character art]] on the side of the cardboard insert inside the blister bubble has the character art of Orion's [[wave]]-mate [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Deluxe|Megatron]] superimposed over Orion's own art. This error doesn't appear on the [[Multilingual packaging|European packaging]].

:The toy was later [[Redeco|recolored]] and [[retool]]ed to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Lio Convoy]], [[Optimus Prime (SG)#NovaPrime|Nova Prime]], and [[Galva Convoy]]. The mold was designed with a pre-tooled [[Kup (G1)/toys#Generations|Kup]] head that remains unused.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/PetesRoboCon/posts/569672986709925</ref>.

He comes with 12 small, non-transforming figurines of Orion Pax, [[Megatron (G1)/toys#SDCCMetroplex|Megatron]], [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#SDCCMetroplex|Bumblebee]], [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#SDCCMetroplex|Thundercracker]], [[Trailbreaker (G1)#SDCCMetroplex|Trailcutter]], and [[Hoist (G1)#SDCCMetroplex|Hoist]], all in both modes. The figurines are based on their Thrilling 30 ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, and similarly to [[Decoy]]s, the Autobot figurines are cast in red plastic, and the Decepticons in purple.

:The handle of Pax's Energon Axe is incredibly thin and unable to support the axe head, meaning the latter tends to droop down in the process.

===Combiner Wars===

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2015)
**'''3 OF 5: [[Ultra Prime]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Two blasters (combine into large rifle)

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]: [[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Voyager Class toys, this is a bigger, bulkier incarnation of Optimus Prime with a striking resemblance to Ginrai. He comes with two blasters which he holds via 5mm post. One of the guns is based on his trademark Ion Blaster, and both weapons store on the back of his vehicle mode as a makeshift engine block. His torso mode has several details that appear to be influenced by [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Energon|''Energon'' Optimus Prime]]'s super mode, including the head, chest, and thighs. In particular, the chest details are modeled after the [[Spark of Combination]].

:Optimus suffers from a design flaw that many other Voyager Class figures in the ''Combiner Wars'' line experience: the detents, or "click points", on the heavily-ratcheted outward motion of his hips (which also form the hips of his torso mode) are few in number and very far apart. As a result, Prime's legs have great difficulty assuming the natural "A-stance" formation that the angled design of his foot sculpt seems to have been meant to accommodate. Likewise, when forming the torso of Ultra Prime, the interactions of the knee-lock mechanism and the hip detents almost always force Ultra Prime's legs into either an awkwardly knock-kneed arrangement or an equally awkward, and often unstable, bow-legged posture (as seen in the image to the right) that prevents Ultra Prime from standing flat-footed.

:Being a ''Combiner Wars'' Voyager, Prime is naturally capable of transforming into a torso mode to combine with any 4 Deluxe Class ''Combiner Wars'' or ''Unite Warriors'' toys, though his packaging call-out has him form Ultra Prime by combining him with Deluxe Class [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Generations|Skydive]] and [[Alpha Bravo]] as the arms, and with [[Fireflight (G1)#Generations|Firefly]] and [[Drag Strip (G1)#Generations|Decepticon Drag Strip]] as the legs.

:Optimus comes packaged with a collector's card featuring art from the initial release of the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game.

*'''Battle Core Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2015)
**'''3 of 5: [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Two blasters (combine into large rifle)

:"Battle Core Optimus Prime" is a white redeco and slight retool of the previous ''Combiner Wars'' Optimus figure. According to the Hasbro panel at [[BotCon 2015]], his new head is based on Star Convoy (see above). For some reason, his deco appears to be influenced by [[Nova Prime]].

:The figure features newly redesigned hip ratchets to make both robot and combiner mode stable, which were also installed in both TakaraTomy's Motormaster, [[Grand Scourge#Unite Warriors 2|Grand Scourge]], and a revision wave of Hasbro's Motormaster. The pegs that Legends Class Rodimus (or Blackjack) attach to have also been slightly modified to provide a tighter fit, making the latter toy much less prone to falling out.

:Battle Core Optimus Prime can combine with any Deluxe Class toys released as part of the same subline—but, of course, he is intended to be combined with [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Sunstreaker]], [[Mirage (G1)/toys#CombinerWars|Mirage]], [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Generations|Prowl]], and [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#CombinerWars|Ironhide]] to form [[Optimus Maximus (G1)#Generations|Optimus Maximus]].

:Battle Core Optimus Prime comes packaged with a collector's card based on his packaging art.

:He and the last three waves of ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe and Voyager figures later started showing up at TJ Maxx at reduced prices.

*'''Autobot Apex & Powermaster Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2016)
**''Accessories:'' Two blasters, two shoulder cannons, [[Hi-Q#Generations|Apex]] Titan Master

:A heavy retool of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Generations|Ultra Magnus]], this Optimus Prime is based on the Powermaster Optimus Prime toy from 1988. Despite this, Hi-Q (now renamed 'Autobot Apex', presumably for trademark reasons) doesn't form the engine on Prime's chest; instead, he transforms into a de-faceplated version of the original Powermaster Optimus Prime cab robot head, over which a helmet slides during transformation to complete the Powermaster Prime look. In all three of Optimus Prime's modes are various pegs and seats with which Titan Master figures can interact. Like other Leader Class figures, his base mode can connect to other ''Titan Returns'' figures with base modes.

:Most notably in terms of new tooling, the panels on the undersides of Powermaster Optimus Prime's forearms feature slots under the fists, which allow the guns to tab in and be held much more stably than with Ultra Magnus. And due to the amount of empty space in the cab area in vehicle mode, Powermaster Prime can fully transform without the need to remove his head.

:Powermaster Optimus Prime also comes with a collector's card based on his packaging art.

:In an undocumented feature, because he comes with the same rifles as ''Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus'', his weapons can be combined into a huge, multi-barreled rifle.

:His instructions show that one of the two Titan Master seat guns can peg onto the top of his chest plate in base mode, but are unclear on exactly ''how''. The tab on the chest plate plugs into the hole where the Titan Master's feet peg in. However, in doing so the Titan Master will no longer fit.

:Due to the extra panels that were added to the legs, Optimus has trouble standing flat on both feet. Fortunately, this doesn't have any serious effect on the toy's stability due to the size of the feet.

:This mold was further retooled as ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' [[Ginrai (human)#Legends|Super Ginrai]], which was redecoed into Siege On Cybertron [[Magnus Prime#Generations|Magnus Prime]].

*'''Diac & Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2016)
**''Accessories'': Sword, Double-barreled rifle, [[Diac#Generations|Diac]] Titan Master

:This Optimus Prime is a new Voyager-sized Triple Changer mold, which transforms from robot to tanker truck to plane and back. His robot mode is heavily based on ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|Laser Optimus Prime]], whilst the deco appears to draw from Star Convoy. His Titan Master partner [[Diac]] transforms into his head (but any Titan Master figure is compatible). Like all ''Titans Return'' Voyager class figures, he has built in mechanisms to "bulk up" his noggin. In his case these are spring-loaded pylons. He also features a fake chest on his robot mode.

:This mold was redecoed into [[Scourge_(RID)#Legends|Black Convoy]], and retooled into [[Octane#TitansReturn|Octone]]. Beginning with this wave, Hasbro changed the standard packaging design for ''Titans Return'' Voyagers from "Autobot" style to "Decepticon" style. This mold was also used to make ''Street Fighter X Transformers'' [[Ryu]].

Rather than the [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] colors like the ''Age of Extinction'' 2-pack figure, the toy's deco is very similar to the ''Classics'' release, with some changes and omissions: his blue plastic is a dark metallic sheen, his knee's yellow detailing was removed, his small Autobot symbol tampograph was placed on his right shoulder, and his larger one is placed on his energy unit. His side door/arm kibble is left unpainted. According to [[Mark Weber]], this was meant to represent his abdominal area being torn in the movie's battle. (Yeah, we have no idea how it works, since the "battle damage" parts end up on his ''arms'' in robot mode.)

:Both his robot and vehicle mode [[stock photography|stock photos]] depict him slightly mistransformed.

:''Platinum Edition'' Optimus Prime was only available as part of a 2-pack with [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Megatron]], named "One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall" after Optimus Prime's famous line in the movie. In the United States and Canada, this set was officially released as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive. It was also available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely the Philippines and Singapore; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Australia, it was sold at Myer stores, whereas in the United Kingdom, it was both sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and available via Tesco's website (but never found in stores).

**''Accessories'': Weapons, 4 Gun/Fist/Foots

:Takara's iteration of ''Combiner Wars'' Optimus Maximus is sold in a gift set including all five Autobots (minus the Rodimus mold). This version of Convoy has numerous changes in deco to better match his look in the Generation 1 cartoon. Like ''Unite Warriors'' [[Menasor (G1)#Unite Warriors|Menasor]], the set also features some minor improvements to the original sculpts, such as improved hip-ratchets for Convoy for increased stability. He also had the slightly modified pegs that Legends Class Rodimus (or Blackjack, Runabout, and Runamuck) can securely attach to, which was previously used for Battle Core Optimus Prime.

[[File:INFOBAR-OptimusPrime.jpg|thumb|Cell service is the right of all sentient beings.]]
:Released in conjunction with Japanese cellphone maker au<ref>[http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/product_release/pdf/p170201.pdf TakaraTomy au x Transformers Project press release]</ref>, ''au x Transformers'' INFOBAR Optimus Prime celebrates 15 years since the 2002 au Design Project that resulted in the INFOBAR cellphone, as well as the 10th anniversary of the [[Live-action film series|live-action films]]. He transforms into a (non-functional) scaled-down replica of the 2002 au INFOBAR, and in lieu of cellphone functions, the figure can be paired via Bluetooth with a smartphone, such as an iPhone, to act as a notification alarm in either robot or INFOBAR mode. The screen is also non-functional, but pre-printed cards are included which can be slid into the screen to show an Autobot logo, Decepticon logo, a mockup of a cellphone home screen, or a technical "Transformers INFOBAR" design. The figure also includes a display stand.

:The project was crowd-funded through Japanese crowd-funding site Makuake<ref>[http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/01/31/transformers-x-au-transforming-phones-launch-crowdfunding-campaign-332289 Transformers x au Transforming Phones Launch Crowdfunding Campaign at TFW2005.com]</ref>. For 5,400 yen, contributors received an INFOBAR Optimus Prime, or for 16,200 yen, received INFOBAR Optimus Prime, INFOBAR Megatron and INFOBAR Bumblebee, the only way to obtain the last two items. The project received one million yen in the first 24 hours, ultimately topping out at over 32 million yen.

:This figure was redecoed into INFOBAR Optimus Prime (ANNIN) (below) and slightly remolded with new heads and redecoed into [[Megatron (G1)/toys#au x Transformers|INFOBAR Megatron (BUILDING)]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#au x Transformers|INFOBAR Bumblebee (ICHIMATSU)]].

*'''Autobot Optimus Prime''' (5 Inch, 2017)

:Released in the first wave of the [[Transformers Authentics|''Authentics'']] toyline, "Autobot Optimus Prime" is a new mold the size of a 2015 [[Transformers:_Robots_in_Disguise_(2015_toyline)#Mini-Con_Battle_Packs|''Robots in Disguise'' Battle Pack]] toy. He changes from an [[evergreen]]-inspired robot into a more G1-based truck in just four steps. His instructions are incorrect; for truck mode, his legs must be folded in before the arms, otherwise the locking tabs on the arms will get in the way. Due to his transformation, he ends up with no elbows and a fake chest. He also has problems standing up due to hollow legs.

:Although more of a lucky coincidence than an undocumented feature, Optimus's truck mode can store a sitting [[Titan Master]] (and by extension, a [[Prime Master]]).

*'''Autobot Optimus Prime''' (7 Inch, 2017)

:Standing at the height of a Voyager figure, "Autobot Optimus Prime" is nearly identical to his smaller counterpart. He retains the four-step transformation, while gaining the (sideways) elbows that the little guy lacks. Like his wavemate [[Grimlock_(G1)/toys#Authentics|Grimlock]], Optimus comes with kibble detached in-package.

==Notes==
===Before he became Optimus Prime===
[[File:PrototypeTHB.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Not so Optimus Prime.]]

*The first prototype for Battle Convoy, the ''[[Diaclone]]'' originator of Optimus Prime, was vastly different from the final version, complete with an entirely different transformation and a car carrying trailer. The head lacked the faceplate.

*A later prototype/mock-up was much closer to the final product but still has some noticeable differences, such as a head with much larger antennae, longer smokestacks and a front grille section that includes the rectangular section that would sport the "Freightliner" logo on the real-life truck (on the final toy, the rectangular section is part of the hinged upper section that includes the windows). It would have also been possible to attach the [[ion blaster]] to either of his shoulders.<ref name="diaclonecatalogs">[http://1501bc.com/pretf/diaclone_catalogs.html Diaclone catalog scans] at 1501bc.com.</ref>

*The toy that would ultimately end up as the original Optimus Prime toy was originally released in August [[1983]] as No.17 Battle Convoy from Takara's Diaclone Car Robo toyline in Japan. In [[1984]], [[Joustra]] released their own version (still with ''Diaclone'' sticker on the trailer) as part of their Diaclone line in Europe, either simply called ''Truck'' (according to the pack-in catalog) or ''Diaclone'' (in the pack-in comic). It's possible that [[GiG]] also released a version called ''Camion Convoy'' as part of their ''[[Trasformer]]'' line in Italy, but to this day no packaged sample has surfaced.

===The many releases of Optimus Prime===
[[File:SeveralG1Convoy.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Too much Prime on my hands.]]
Over the years, the [[#G1v1|original Optimus Prime]] has been repackaged and reissued multiple times:

*In the USA and Canada, limited edition promotional versions were available sporting Pepsi stickers; the Canadian version has large Pepsi stickers that cover the entire trailer, while the US version only has small Pepsi stickers that partially obscure the lines running across the trailer;
*In addition to the standard Japanese 01 Convoy release, Takara also released the toy as part of the [[#VSX|VSX Convoy vs. Megatron]] two-pack in [[1985]];
*Takara released a variant sporting clear blue windows and as part of the "[[#goodbye|Good Bye Convoy]]" set (packaged with [[Red Alert (G1)#Toys|Alert/Red Alert]] and [[Mirage (G1)#Toys|Ligier/Mirage]]) in [[1986]];
*Hasbro's subsidiary [[Milton Bradley]] (MB) released the toy in Europe in late 1985, following a slight delay due to licensing issues;<ref name="mbtfs">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-5/ "The Jetfire vs Optimus Prime mixup"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref> there are no less than ''three'' variants of MB-packaged Optimus Prime, one of them manufactured by Takara and sporting blue feet, the other two manufactured by [[Joustra]] as part of a deal with Hasbro/MB, one of them with blue and the other one with red feet;<ref name="3mb">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/the-three-mb-optimus-primes/ "The Three MB Optimus Primes"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>
*After Hasbro's European division had changed the packaging from "MB" to "Hasbro", the toy continued to be available in 1986, including more of the Joustra-manufactured red and blue feeted versions, which were apparently also available in the UK in English-only packaging;<ref name="3mb"/>
*[[GiG]] released the toy as ''Commander'' as part of their ''Transformers'' line in Italy in 1985, including an all-plastic variant in 1986;
*[[IGA]] released their version in Mexico in 1985; unsold stock was later imported to a plethora of European countries, including the UK, with Optimus Prime having the yellow paint scraped off his eyes and then having them painted over in red;
*Hasbro reissued the "Original Autobot Leader" toy as part of their European ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' line of reissues in [[1991]];
*Hasbro released a [[#Generation_2|redecoed version with additional accessories]] as part of their [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|''Generation 2'' line]] in [[1993]];
*Takara reissued the original toy in its original 1985 Japanese packaging in [[2000]], with an all-black recolor being available from assorted Japanese conventions and another variant with gold instead of silver parts, stickers, and paint as a [[Lucky Draw figure|lucky draw]] prize;
*Takara reissued the toy again as ''New Year Special'' version in January 2002, sporting clear blue windows (similar to Good Bye Convoy) and featuring additional accessories such as a Matrix necklace and a [[Show-accuracy|show accurate]] recolor of the Action Master Optimus Prime figure;
*Hasbro reissued the toy in the USA and the UK as part of their ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Generation One Commemorative Series]]'' line of reissues in [[2002]], sporting shortened down smokestacks [[for safety reasons]];
*Takara reissued the toy once again in [[2003]], as part of their ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' line of reissues, numbered 00 and featuring additional accessories such as an energon axe;
*Takara released a recolored version featuring a new trailer in December [[2005]], called ''[[Pepsi Convoy]]''.
*Hasbro released their own version of Pepsi Convoy, named "[[#PepsiPrime|Pepsi Optimus Prime]]", as a [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] exclusive in [[2007]], featuring the familiar [[For safety reasons|safety]]-shortened smokestacks of the Commemorative Series reissue.
*In August 2007 TakaraTomy yet again did a rerelease similar to the 2000 Convoy rerelease, this time as part of the "[[Transformers Encore]]" line. This version has a new rifle with a longer handle so Optimus can finally hold it straight.
*TakaraTomy released [http://seibertron.com/advertisement.php?id=8 "Convoy iPod Docking Bay with Speakers"] in September 2007. It is an iPod speaker/dock in the shape of a truck, featuring an all-white version of Convoy with a new head sculpt reminiscent of Masterpiece Convoy as the cab, and a trailer housing a pair of speakers and a docking point for an iPod.
*In March [[2008]], TakaraTomy released a G1-colored version of the iPod Convoy set.
*Hasbro released the ''25th Anniversary'' gift set edition detailed above in 2008, as part of the 2008 ''Universe'' line, once again with [[For safety reasons|shortened smokestacks]].
*TakaraTomy released another reissue based on the ''Encore'' version as part of their ''[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]'' line in 2011, lacking the original Generation 1 trailer. Instead, the ''Chronicle'' version was available in a two-pack with ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Chronicle|Optimus Prime]] and a new trailer that could be used by both Optimuses, thanks to a retooled trailer hitch on the Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure.
*In 2012, Hasbro reissued Optimus Prime again for their Asian markets, this time mixing the 25th Anniversary version of the toy itself with the older ''Commemorative Series'' packaging.<ref name="25thcomm">[http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/showthread.php?t=44388 "Bad news RE: new Commemorative Prime"] at Cybertron.ca.</ref>

===Powermaster Optimus Prime design history===

[[Powermaster]] Optimus Prime, being the grand toy rebirth of Optimus Prime post-movie, apparently received a lot of thought during the design process. Prime went through an inordinate number of design changes from concept to final with at least three very major revisions:

[[File:EarlyPMPrime1.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb|Overcompensating.]]

*The earliest version, as shown in the first patent application for the toy, was to have the Prime cab be a triplechanger, turning from truck cab to jet or robot.<ref>[http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?DB=EPODOC&II=0&ND=3&adjacent=true&locale=en_EP&FT=D&date=19880604&CC=JP&NR=S63132686A&KC=A Patent #JP63-132686]</ref> The nosecone of the jet and robot legs were released by the Powermaster lock in the same fashion as the legs in the final version. Optimus would have had winged arms in non-super [[robot mode]]. The super robot mode's head was also integrated into the trailer's hitch... and lacked a faceplate.
[[File:EarlyPMPrime2.jpg|100px|thumb|Blockhead.]]
*The second known version <ref>''[[Transformers Generations]]'', p22, p106</ref> ditched the triplechanging gimmick on the cab and simplified things a good bit. This Powermaster Prime has several distinct characteristics only seen in the second design, such as the wider "block head" and two faux smokestacks on top of either shoulder as opposed to one. Also, in a rather odd twist, this design features a black head and fists for both super and regular modes rather than the traditional blue. It also had yellow eyes in either mode a la the original Optimus Prime.
[[File:EarlyPMPrime3.jpg|100px|thumb|''Triple-Power-Headmaster Optimus Prime'' was just too damn long to put on the box.]]
*The third version <ref>''[[Transformers Generations]]'', p106</ref> would quite possibly have been the most gimmick loaded Transformer in the history of the line, simultaneously being a Powermaster, [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]], and [[Triple Changer]]. The Headmaster also would have been a Triple Changer, turning into a sort of armored four-wheeled rover (Roller II?) and robot as well as a rather silly looking Optimus Prime head with four vertically aligned wheels jutting off the sides. It seems that when the extra Headmaster gimmick was scrapped, the super mode head remained separate rather than being reintegrated into the trailer hitch such as on the earliest design. Notably, the body of this design is extremely close to the final design.
*A fourth version is shown in the 1987-88 Transformers product catalog that has several minor differences from both Powermaster Prime and [[Ginrai (human)|God Ginrai]], such as having God Ginrai's sliding fists but in red, a completely different trailer hitch assembly partially based on the third design, an offset Autobot symbol in base mode, extended feet also based on third design, far more detailed super mode outer leg panels, completely different front bumper, and the first instance of single faux shoulder smokestacks rather than two. It is still unknown as to why Powermaster Prime has completely different arms from God Ginrai or all earlier concept versions.

Powermaster Prime's animation model as used in the commercials and as a character guide for the Marvel comics is a composite of the second and third designs. The body of the model is actually a straight tracing of the concept lineart for the third version (including its different rifles and twin faux shoulder stacks), with a slightly simplified drawing of the second version's head drawn on top.

===Miscellaneous Primes===
[[File:Early Star Convoy Planning Stage.jpg‎|thumb|upright=1.1|I am the prototype of the toy of the future!]]
*''Return of Convoy'' catalogues reveal the planning process behind Star Convoy's evolution from gimmick-rich illustration to prototype before reaching final production.
[[File:PMHeroTrace.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|Stealing purses across the ages.]]
*The pose used for ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[#HeroOptimusPrime|Hero Optimus Prime]]'s [[package art]] is rather blatantly swiped from [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] [[Powermaster]] [[#PMOP|Optimus Prime's]] package art.
*On a similar note, ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[#Machine Wars|Optimus Prime]]'s package art is merely edited from ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|Laser Optimus Prime]]'s card art, keeping it mostly intact save for the removal of shoulder kibble and the addition of a non-windowed chestplate.
[[File:Optimus prime nokia 6820.JPG|left|thumb|125px|Wait...I'm sure this is from Finland. But why did [[Seymour Simmons|Simmons]] say...]]
*The Masterpiece Optimus Prime toy was featured in a print ad for {{w|Nokia 68xx series#Nokia 6820|Nokia 6820}} phones in December 2004.<ref name="nokia">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/20th-anniversary-optimus-prime-featured-in-nokia-a/4374/ "20th Anniversary Optimus Prime Featured in Nokia Ad"]</ref> He is posed bent over to look at the phone and scratching his head. Pleasantly, ''most'' of the pose pictured is perfectly possible with an un-[[Customizing|kitbash]]ed, un-Photoshopped version of the toy. (The real toy can't bend forward at the waist like that, alas.)
*''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[#Classics (2006)|Optimus Prime]] was initially intended to be Deluxe-sized. An alleged list of the tentative ''Classics'' line-up<ref name="classicslineup">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/possible-transformers-classic-line-up-4336/ Rumor] about the ''Classics'' lineup that turned out to be spot on aside from Voyager [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] and Deluxe Optimus Prime.</ref> included a Deluxe-sized Optimus Prime without a trailer and a version ''with'' a trailer at the Voyager [[size class|price point]]; however, it appears the decision was eventually made to upscale Optimus to Voyager size instead.<ref name="sage">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/cybertron-crosswise-redeco-and-transformers-classics-info-4683/ "Cybertron Crosswise Redeco and Transformers Classics Info"] (via [[Joe Kyde]]'s proxy "SAGE2764")</ref> Don Figueroa's [[control drawing]]s for the Deluxe version were leaked before the ''Classics'' line was even released at retail.<ref name="primecontrol">Leaked ''Classics'' Deluxe Optimus Prime control drawings: [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/transformers-classics-optimus-prime-design-sketch-4691/ Vehicle mode], [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/transformers-classics-optimus-prime-robot-mode-design-sketches-4692/ robot mode]</ref> A gray model [[prototype]] was later shown as part of an interview with [[TakaraTomy]]'s staff in ''[[Transformers Generations 2009#Volume 1|Transformers Generations 2009 vol. 1]]''.<ref name="ttinterview">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/general-articles-25/translated-version-of-the-takara-tomy-transformers-henkei--classics-staff-interview-167073/ Translated TakaraTomy Henkei/Classics staff interview]</ref> It's unclear whether the trailer ever made it past the early planning stage before the decision was made to upscale Optimus to Voyager size.

Construct-Bots

2018-09-03T05:23:43Z

Awsm57: /* Elite */

[[File:Construct-Bots logo.jpg|center|Construct. Convert. Customize.]]
'''''Construct-Bots''''' is a line of ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]''-themed building toys with interchangeable parts, somewhat similar to ''[[Kre-O]]''. In contrast to Kre-O's brick-based kits, however, Construct-Bots are action figures with a wider range of articulation that can be changed between modes without being disassembled. Elite and higher price-point sets come packaged in a translucent plastic storage tray that highlights key pieces in the set.

Construct-Bots were announced in early [[2013]] in advance of [[Toy Fair 2013|Toy Fair]], and began hitting store shelves later that year. They had a substantial presence at [[BotCon 2013]], featuring prominently in the [[Hasbro]] presentation with much of the line on display, both in stock and custom configurations.

In 2014, the design of the figures was changed markedly; All joints on the figures are now ball-jointed, and their torso superstructure combined the waist and torso and added a spring loaded "spine" part. Figures no longer reuse parts from other models and are more or less totally unique. Most 2014 parts are not compatible with parts from 2013 figures. All ''Beast Hunters'' (barring Predaking) and ''Age of Extinction'' Construct-Bots use the newer design.

Construct-Bots packaging features the pseudo-motto "Construct Convert Customize", highlighting the key features of the line.
*'''Construct''' - Construct-Bots toys are built by attaching body parts, armor pieces, accessories, weapons, joint pieces, and even [[insignia|faction symbols]] to a modular skeleton. The sets are assembled using three types of joints: rubberized [[ball joint]]s, [[5mm post|5mm pegs and sockets]], and ratcheting clips.
*'''Convert''' - Construct-Bots can be transformed from robot mode to an alternative (e.g., vehicle, animal, etc.) mode. Unlike brick-built Kre-O robots, Construct-bots can be transformed with minimal, if any, reassembly. This reassembly is generally limited to repositioning accessories and weapons using the ratcheting clips or 5mm pegs. Transformations are generally comparable to those of the inner robots of [[Pretender]] toys with various hinged body panels being rearranged to enhance the alternative mode.
*'''Customize''' - A multitude of extra 5 mm pegs, sockets, and bars for the ratcheting clips are provided by the modular skeleton and the various other parts. A single Construct-Bots set can be customized by rearranging the skeleton or rearranging armor parts and accessories (such as by moving wing pieces from the arms to the legs). A Construct-Bots set may be further customized by including or substituting pieces from other sets.

It is not clear what, if any, continuity they fit into. Several characters resemble their [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] namesakes; others take their cues from ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Transformers: Prime]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (franchise)|Age of Extinction]]''.

==Notes==
*At [[Toy Fair 2013]], a Hasbro representative referred to the line by the name "Construct-A-Bots", arguing that the faction [[insignia]]s represented an "A". Various online retailers, as well as the online divisions of major brick-and-mortar retailers such as [[Walmart]] and [[Target]], used that name. The "A" is also present on the shipping cases delivered to such retailers. On the other hand, Hasbro's official press releases, placards at [[BotCon 2013]] and [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2013 and file names of official promotional [[stock photography|stock photos]] sent to fan sites consistently lacked the "A", instead referring to the line simply as "Construct-Bots". Online retailer Entertainment Earth always used that name, whereas [[BigBadToyStore]] switched from an initial "Construct-A-Bots" to "Construct Bots" (lacking the hyphen). Listings on the [[Toys"R"Us]] website were a mixed bag, with international divisions using the "A" variant on their websites consistently. Listings on the official Hasbro website were ''also'' a mixed bag: While the English language version as well numerous other versions used the more common name "Construct-Bots", some (but not all!) listings used "Construct-A-Bots" for the German and French versions, and the Portuguese versions of some listings even used "Construct A Bots" without hyphens.
*The Construct-Bots ball and socket joint is the same size as those used in the brick-built ''[[Kre-O]]'' sets, allowing for even crazier creations.
*Many of the 5mm posts are hollow and compatible with [[Mini-Con]] [[Powerlinx|Powerlinx ports]], allowing for even MORE crazier creations.

Matrix of Leadership/toys

The '''[[Matrix of Leadership]]''' will lighten your darkest wallet.

==Toys==
===Robots in Disguise (2001)===
[[File:RIDtoy primes matrix.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2001)

: When in his [[Super Mode]]. the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] Optimus Prime has a little door on his chest that opens to reveal a sculpted, non-removable Matrix. In Japanese fiction, this was not the Matrix of Leadership, but rather a mere [[Energon Matrix]], the like of which had been seen in toy form before with [[Lio Convoy]] and [[Big Convoy]].

:The Matrix remained when Prime was redecoed for the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' ([[#Universe (2003)|see below]]) and ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' ([[#Cybertron|below again]]) toylines, and was also present in both the exclusive Clear and Black versions of the figure available in Japan... but being Japanese figures, that technically means it's not the Matrix of Leadership on them!

*'''New Year Special Convoy''' (2002)
*'''Galvatron''' (2005)
*'''Galvatron II''' (2005)

:The first true Matrix of Leadership toy was a silver [[die-cast]] metal accessory which came with [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s "New Year Special" reissue of the original [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] Optimus Prime figure. The Matrix came with a removable chain that allowed it to be looped around the head of Prime or any other figure you chose to give it to, and when flipped upside-down, it could also clip over the ''[[Diaclone]]''-holdover cockpit seats inside Prime's opening chest compartment.

:This Matrix was [[redeco]]ed in gold for inclusion with Takara's 2005 reissue of the original Galvatron toy, and in green (specifically representing its appearance as the Creation Matrix in the Marvel Comics series) for the [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive [[Galvatron II]] redeco. Years later, the original silver version of the Matrix was included as part of the "[[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus]] vs. [[Cyclonus (G1)/toys|Cyclonus]]" set in the 2010 ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers]]'' toyline ([[#Transformers (2010)|see below]]).

*'''Battle for the Matrix''' (Multi-pack, 2003)
*'''Magna Convoy DX Set''' (Multi-pack, 2003)

:The large version of ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' Optimus Prime has a non-removable Matrix of Leadership hidden behind the flip-down grill on his chest. This feature was kept for the various [[redeco]]s of this mold, gaining a blue center for Prime's "Powerlinx" redeco, and being entirely chromed when the figure got the gold chrome treatment as a Lucky Draw figure. Some further coloration changes were made when the figure was redecoed during the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' toyline ([[#Energon|see below]]).

:Although this mold was never redecoed into [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]], the ''[[Linkage (comic)|Linkage]]'' mini-comics exploited the two characters' physical similarity to essentially [[repurposing|repurpose]] this Matrix into the [[Doomstone]].

'''Optimus Prime and Overload''' (Multi-pack, 2005)

:While the new-mold Optimus Prime toys created for the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' toyline lacked any kind of Matrix (instead featuring the [[Spark of Combination]] in a very Matrix-esque middle-of-the-chest position), the line did not go entirely without, as the ''Armada'' Super Base Prime figure was redecoed and re-released in a multi-pack with combination partner [[Overload (Armada)|Overload]]. Available exclusively at [[Costco]] stores, this version of the figure redecoed the sculpted Matrix in a bright golden-orange (compared to the dull gold of before), with a green crystal at the center.

*'''Convoy''' (Lucky Draw figure, 2004)
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (2004)
*'''Convoy Perfect Edition''' (2006. 2009)
*'''Convoy Black Version''' (2010)
*'''Convoy Sleep Mode''' (2010)
*'''Convoy Final Edition''' (2011)

:A chromed Matrix accessory came with Hasbro's ''20th Anniversary'' and Takara's ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' edition of Optimus Prime, consisting of a translucent blue "crystal" centre surrounded by two shell-halves that could be pulled open. The Matrix stored in an opening chamber in Prime's chest, where its centre could be illuminated by a blue LED light built into the compartment. In order to fit into Prime's chest, however, the Matrix wound up being rather small, leaving Prime only able to wrap two of his fingers through its handles, instead of his whole hands.

:The Matrix was included with every reissue and redeco of the Prime mold, remaining in its normal colors when it came with Ultra Magnus, and the "Perfect Edition", "Sleep Mode" and "Final Edition" versions of Prime himself. When Prime was chromed entirely gold as a [[Lucky Draw figure]], though, the Matrix was likewise blinged out, while the Matrix included with the "Black Version" of Prime, representing an [[Eldedroid]], was chromed purple where the original was gold, and had a red translucent centre, illuminated by the figure's new red LED. A non-chromed version of the Matrix was included with Hasbro's "DVD Edition" of the figure as part of the ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' line ([[#Classics|see below]]).

*'''Rodimus Convoy''' (2011)
*'''Black Rodimus Convoy''' (2011-[[November 28|11-28]])
:Being built to a smaller scale than the ''Masterpiece'' Optimus Prime figure, ''Masterpiece'' Rodimus Prime featured a new, smaller Matrix accessory of his own, cast in translucent blue plastic and decorated with gold and silver chrome. The Matrix stores in a chamber in Rodimus's abdomen, but is ''so small'' (smaller even relatively to Rodimus that Optimus's Matrix was to him) that Rodimus can't hold it by its handles at all. This Matrix mold was also included with [[Black Rodimus Convoy#Masterpiece|Black Rodimus Convoy]], now with a red chrome shell.

*'''Shattered Glass Optimus Prime''' (2016-12)
*'''Convoy (BAPE BLACKCAMO ver.)''' (2017)
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2017)
: [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10|MP-10 Convoy]] is an entirely new tooling of Generation 1 Optimus Prime. Convoy is now smaller, making him more in-scale with other recent ''Masterpiece'' toys, such as [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Rodimus]], and comes with a [[Combat Deck (G1)#mp10|trailer]] and various accessories. His chest compartment opens up to reveal an equally smaller, new-mold Matrix of Leadership with a clear blue plastic center. Unlike the previous version, the Matrix cannot be pulled apart, Convoy can only wrap his index finger around the handle and cannot hold it both hands at once, and the Matrix chamber in his chest has no light-up feature, but hey, at least it's now die-cast metal!

: The Matrix was also included with MP-10 Convoy's redecoes: [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mpbape|MP Convoy (BAPE ver.)]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#eva|Convoy Mode "Eva"]] (rendered with a red crystal, said in [[Mode "Eva" chapter 3|accompanying fiction]] to be based on the core of an [[Angel]]), [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mpbape2|Convoy (BAPE REDCAMO ver.)]], [[Optimus Prime (SG)#Masterpiece|Shattered Glass Optimus Prime]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mpbape3|Convoy (BAPE BLACKCAMO ver.)]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Optimus Prime]] (a Hasbro redeco of MP-10). For [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Masterpiece|Black Convoy]], it was redecoed into the [[Dead Matrix#Masterpiece|Dead Matrix]]. This Matrix was also redecoed as [[Matrix_of_Malice#Combiner_Wars|Matrix of Malice]] included with [[Windsweeper]].

: Later ''Masterpiece'' figures [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#MP22|MP-22 Ultra Magnus]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#MasterpieceHotRodimus|MP-28 Hot Rodimus]] are also designed to interact with this Matrix mold: both can carry it in their chests, while Ultra Magnus also comes with special hands for holding it.

===Cybertron===
[[File:Cybertrontoy matrix.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2005)
*'''Galaxy Force Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2006)

:''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' Optimus Prime comes with a removable Matrix of Leadership accessory, decorated with an inverse color scheme that renders the crystal orange and the holder grey. The Matrix fits in Prime's chest, and his large, articulated fingers mean that he can hold it, though not in both hands at once.

:The Matrix remained unchanged when Prime was redecoed into his "Galaxy Force" coloration, which was also re-released without changes in the 2008 ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' toyline.

[[File:Cybertrontoy ridprime magnus 2pack.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Ultra Magnus and Optimus Prime''' (multi-pack, 2005)

:''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime was slightly redecoed for inclusion in this Costco-exclusive two-pack with ''Robots in Disguise'' Ultra Magnus, which saw the two toys recast as versions of ''Cybertron'''s own Optimus Prime and [[Ultra Magnus (Energon)|Ultra Magnus]] characters, rather than the ''Robots in Disguise'' originals. The mold still sports its sculpted Matrix detail, though for this release the paint applications that surrounded it were changed from orange to black (this being the only change from the original figure). It's not impossible that this might actually ''not'' have represented the Matrix of Leadership on this figure, but instead the Spark of Combination, which the set's packaging mentions as the source of the brothers' combining power—but we include it here to be thorough!

===Hybrid Style===
[[File:THS galaxyconvoy matrix.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
*'''Galaxy Convoy''' (2005)
: Part of Takara's short ''[[Hybrid Style]]'' series of small-scale, highly-articulated figures, this version of ''Cybertron'' Optimus Prime came with a ''really'' tiny removable Matrix that stored in its customary position within the toy's chest. It was somewhat more show-accurate sculpt than the Matrix included with the full-size ''Cybertron'' Prime figure, and was colored with metallic paint as opposed to the larger figure's mostly-unpainted accessory.

*'''Convoy''' (2006)
*'''Convoy Black Version''' (2006)

: The ''Hybrid Style'' version of Generation 1 Optimus Prime also comes with a super-tiny Matrix, not much bigger than a large drug capsule, which fits in the traditional opening compartment within Prime's chest. Like the ''Hybrid Style'' ''Cybertron'' Prime before it, the figure comes with an assortment of alternate hands, but ''un''like its predecessor, it includes a pair specifically designed to hold the Matrix. Due to the small size of the figure, they do not figure articulated fingers to grip it, but instead are cast in the shape of clenched fists with grooves cut into the outside of the fingers into which the Matrix can slot.

:The Matrix was also included with Prime's later "Black Version" redeco, without changes.

:When ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' Laser Optimus Prime was reissued in 2006, among the assorted changes made to his deco was the addition of a pair of new [[sticker]]s to his chest windows that depicted the Matrix resting in its traditional position inside him. The stickers remained when the figure was redecoed into the [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive Laser Ultra Magnus figure.

:The ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' "DVD Edition" of ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Optimus Prime included the familiar Matrix accessory, but as with all the other parts of the toy that had previously been vacuum-metalized, it is now decorated in metallic gold and silver paint, rather than chrome.

*'''Battle Blades Optimus Prime''' (2010)
: While the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie may have left the fate of the live-action Matrix up in the air, the ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers]]'' Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Transformers (2010)#Voyager class toys|Battle Blades Optimus Prime]] figure follows through on the intention evident in several of the film's adaptations by including it as an accessory stored within his body. Specifically, this removable Matrix attaches to a translucent blue plate hidden in Prime's midriff, which rotates up into place when his chest is opened and a panel on his abdomen is folded down. The Matrix is unpainted grey plastic on the Hasbro release of the figure; the TakaraTomy edition of Battle Blades Prime gives it coat of silver paint.

*'''Battle in Space''' (Deluxe figure 2-pack, 2010)

: The die-cast metal Matrix originally released by TakaraTomy with several of their Generation 1 reissues ([[#G1toy|see above]]) received its first Hasbro release in this box set of [[redeco]]s of ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Rodimus]] and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Cyclonus (G1)#Universe (2008)|Cyclonus]], released under the ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[subline imprint]]. The Matrix itself is back in its original silver coloration. Unfortunately, the figures can't actually ''interact'' with the accessory in any way: Neither Rodimus nor Cyclonus can actually ''hold'' the Matrix, and it can't even hang from their necks since it does not include the removable chain that came with the various Takara editions.

: Part of the sixth wave of the 2010 ''Transformers'' toyline and the second wave of the ''Reveal the Shield'' subline imprint, this Optimus Prime is an all-new Deluxe Class mold based on the original ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Laser Optimus Prime toy ([[#G2toy|see above]]). The panels on the side of his truck mode fold in behind his chest windows in robot mode to reveal a sculpted Matrix of Leadership.

*'''Masterpiece Rodimus Prime''' (2011)
: [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#HasbroMasterpiece|Masterpiece Rodimus Prime]] is a [[Toys"R"Us]]-[[exclusive]] release of the Rodimus Convoy figure, and was redecoed to resemble his original toy. His Matrix is no longer vacuum-metalized, and the shell is instead given a coat of metallic gold paint.

: This version of Rodimus also comes with an additional new-mold Matrix accessory, very similar to Masterpiece Optimus Prime's Matrix. Rodimus is actually capable of wrapping his entire mitts around this accessory's handles, and the Matrix can be pulled open (but not apart) to reveal more of the crystal inside.

We say "intended", because in actuality, the thing appears to have been produced in such huge quantities that it's wound up being made available in ''loads'' of other places—it was handed out at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011, offered as a free giveaway with any order that included Transformers toys on [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]), as a free gift on the cover of the ''[[Awesome Autobots Activity Book]]'', and came as a free gift attached to, of all things, issue #240 of the [[United Kingdom|UK]] children's comic, ''[[Doctor|Doctor Who Adventures]]'' (but not the UK's [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Transformers comic]], you'll note!). A supposed factory error even caused this version (minus display stand) to be included in the larger Optimus Prime kit (see above). This problem has (presumably) been fixed, but it was awesome while it lasted.

The central crystal of the Matrix is removable, and has the same dimensions as a [[Prime Master]]'s [[spark]] mode (or [[Titan Master]] in head mode). This means that the crystal can be replaced in the Matrix by any Prime Master, and that the removed crystal can be slotted into the armor accessories included with Deluxe and Voyager Class ''Power of the Primes'' figures, along with the heads of ''Titans Return'' figures. It can also be replaced with an [[Enigma of Combination#Generations|Enigma of Combination]] included with the Voyager Class figures.

===MC Axis===
[[File:Mcaxis hot rod.jpg|thumb]]

*'''Hot Rod''' (model kit, 1996)

:This Japanese "garage kit" of Hot Rod consists of an unpainted, unassembled resin model from [[MC Axis]], with two versions of the Matrix of Leadership: one standard, fairly useless one (since Hot Rod lacks either a chest compartment to hold it, or articulated hands to grip it), and a second sculpted with a pair of hands clutching its handles, which can be swapped out for Hot Rod's normal hands, allowing him to hoist it aloft.

:The kit is not known for its exceptional quality control - numerous unsightly air bubbles in the plastic are not an uncommon thing to encounter.

:A Matrix of Leadership accessory is included with both the standard ''[[Metalforce]]'' Optimus Prime and its metallic redeco, cast in translucent blue plastic and painted over. The Matrix fits into its traditional cavity in Prime's chest, and a panel can then be placed on top of it to hide it from view; alternatively, the panel can be left out, allowing the Matrix to remain visible through Prime's chest windows. For whatever reason, the figures also came with an uncut, unpainted version of the Matrix (and all of Prime's other accessories) as well.

*'''Rodimus Convoy with Matrix''' (2000)

:The Matrix made its first appearance in Taraka's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' series of PVC figurines in the hands of the rare Rodimus Prime [[chase figure]] from the line's second "act". Both Rodimus and the Matrix were cast entirely in translucent colored plastic, as the Autobot leader held the talisman in both hands, in the process of opening it.

*'''Rodimus Convoy with Matrix''' (2001)

:The Matrix-bearing Rodimus chase figure was re-released as a standard figure for the fourth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, this time as both a standard, solid-color figure and a metallic silver "pewter" version, both available at one each per standard case of twelve. In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter figure came with the right leg of the wave's collectable [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] "build-a-figure".

*'''Convoy with Matrix''' (2001)
:The Matrix made another appearance in the hands of a chase figure with this metallic silver Optimus Prime from the fifth ''Super Collection Figure'' act. The Matrix's translucent blue core is the only part of the figure not covered in silver paint.

None of the figures had compartments to store the Matrix, nor hands equipped to hold it in the normal way: the most any of the five figures can manage is to cup or balance it in their "open palm" alternate hands.

The winning design, depicting an unhappy Ultra Magnus after an amusingly unfortunate attempt at opening the Matrix of Leadership, was created by fan Xu Wei (aka Iron Bird), and was limited to only 500 pieces. A variant edition of the statue was also produced, redecoing Magnus in the color scheme of his ''Diaclone'' precursor, Powered Convoy, and was even more limited at only 100 pieces.

: [[Diamond Select Toys]] produced a human-scaled replica of the Matrix. Weighing six pounds, it was sculpted by Robert Lee and is a limited edition of 1,000 pieces. The Matrix can be picked up off its Autobot-symbol base, and held by the finger holes in the handgrips — and while it does not open, it can "light your darkest hour," with internal electronics that make the central crystal orb pulse in blue, green, red, yellow, and pink. The base also has a removable [[Key to Vector Sigma]] accessory, which activates the electronics when placed in the base.

The same base was used for the Final Battle Optimus Prime bust, which represents the character after his climactic battle with Megatron, but the Matrix was removed (replaced with a panel displaying Prime's life-signs) and instead included as a removable accessory that fits in the bust's hand.

Repugnus (G1)

2018-08-08T17:32:58Z

Awsm57: /* Generations */

{{factions|autobot|maximal}}
{{disambig3|Repugnus}}
:''Repugnus is an [[Autobot]] [[Monsterbot]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:G1Repugnus boxart.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|There's ugly, pug-ugly, fugly, pug-fugly...and then below all those there's ''Repugnus''-ugly.]]
Never a [[Decepticon]], '''Repugnus''' is not always an Autobot. No, sometimes he's a former Autobot who has been discharged for insubordination or just plain nastiness, but he always gets called back to perform some mission too unsavory for anybody else. Though he doesn't give a slag for authority or decency, Repugnus always does his job well.

Man, does he love his job. He'll describe with relish how he clawed an enemy within an inch of his life, then beat the bastard's head into a fuel-soaked wad of scrap metal with his own torn-off leg unit. He'll also add plenty of profanities and colorful idioms to the story. His friends would find this disturbing, if he had any.

==Fiction==
===Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====
{{voiceactor|[[Michitaka Kobayashi]] (Japanese)}}

[[File:RebellionBeest Repugnus.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|At least Japan cares about me. ''sobs'']]
Repugnus and his fellow [[Monsterbot]]s were sent to the planet [[Beast (planet)|Beast]] by [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]], as a fair number of the planet's natives had been enslaved by [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. While rescuing some slaves from the Decepticon base, Repugnus found some sort of blueprint attached to a wall, and decided to take it with him. After Autobots had driven the Decepticon forces off the planet, the blueprint turned out to depict a component of [[Transtector|some kind of giant machine]]. Rodimus Prime subsequently ordered the Monsterbots to stay on Beast and protect it against any future Decepticon assaults. Repugnus was fine with this, replying that it seemed like a nice planet to stay on. {{storylink|Rebellion on Planet Beast}}

The Monsterbots were later called away from Beast to assist [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] and the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] during a battle on the planet [[Paradise]]. Repugnus and his comrades attacked [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] with their fire-breath, and some stray flames served to destroy the [[energon cube]]s that the Decepticons had amassed. {{storylink|Head Formation of Friendship}}

====''Beastformers'' catalog====
When [[Devilbat]] scanned the secret of [[White Leo]]'s Burstsun power and produced a Secret Photo of it, Repugnus spotted the whole event and gave chase. Devilbat dropped the Secret Photo into Beast's greatest forest during the pursuit. {{storylink|Beastformers catalog|Series 2 catalog}}

====''Legends'' comic====
The Monsterbots returned to Beast to aid the Beastformers in their war against the [[Laser Beast]]s, only to have their heads torn off when the Laser Beasts took control of the [[Head Hunter]]s. {{storylink|LG51 Doublecross Prologue}} Having survived the experience as a severed head, Repugnus was evacuated from Beast and converted into a small [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] body. By [[2021]], he had taken to mooching off of [[Brawn (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Brawn]] and came with him to the [[Legends World]] where he went unemployed and lived on Brawn's salary. When Brawn acquired a larger pilotable body in order to impress [[Scylla]] only to fall ill on the day of their date, he pressured Repugnus into getting in the mech and going in his stead. Things went alright until Scylla opened up the mech's car mode and discovered Repugnus, after which she took out her anger on both him and Brawn. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 48|Bonus Edition Vol. 48}} As thanks for helping out, Brawn then got Repugnus a mech suit of his own. When Doublecross showed up under the control of the evil [[Tigerburn]], Repugnus was confused that his old Monsterbot friend was an enemy now. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 51|Bonus Edition Vol. 51}} Repugnus and Brawn later offered [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]] use of their armor suits to defeat [[Thrust (Armada)|Armada Thrust]], and he was able to pilot Repugnus's one after they increased its mass using [[Blowpipe (G1)|Blowpipe]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 53|Bonus Edition Vol. 53}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
[[File:Brothersinarmor-repugnus-morethanwords.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Obviously, that whole "quest for peace" thing worked out pretty well for him.]]
Repugnus decided to join [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] in abandoning the war and settling down for a peaceful, quiet life on the verdant paradise of [[Nebulos]]. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}}

After Decepticon treachery turned the locals against the Autobots, Repugnus and the other Monsterbots attempted to defend the [[Mercury Gardens of Melanossus]] from [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s forces. Repugnus fought ferociously, blasting his enemies with optic lasers while trash-talking the Decepticon leader, and was outraged when Grotusque, realizing the gardens were being destroyed by the battle, ordered a retreat.

Repugnus and rest of Fortress Maximus's troops then left Nebulos for [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}} They made a stop on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] to meet the Earth-stationed Autobots and to observe [[Code of Combat|a ritual battle]] between [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] for overall leadership of the Autobot forces. Repugnus never got to see the end result of the duel, as the proceedings were interrupted by a Decepticon attack. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

====''Regeneration One''====
Repugnus was offlined during the Underbase fiasco and kept in stasis aboard the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. His body was reanimated and lobotomised by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] and pressed into service as part of a [[zombie]] army used to devastate the Earth. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 3}} When Megatron was defeated by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]], all his inactive zombies were gathered up by the Autobots, thrown into a huge pit, and vaporized from orbit. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part One}}

===''Transformers in 3-D''===
The three Monsterbots and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] comprised [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]'s team during the search for [[Metascan Alpha]]. The group ended up on a desolate moon, confronted by [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]]. Although Repugnus was keen to fight "the ugly ones", Ultra Magnus insisted they continue with their mission. They flew down to the planet below, only to find it under attack by the [[Destructon]]s. Repugnus was batted aside by [[Bruton]]'s Confusion Club, and the Autobots beat a hasty retreat back to the moon. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

===3H comics===
Less than three [[Units of time|deca-cycles]] after the [[reformatting]] of Cybertron into a [[technorganic]] wonderland, Repugnus and his fellow [[Monsterbot]]s (apparently all having undergone the [[Great Upgrade|Maximal Upgrade]] downsizing) were seen exiting a bar at [[Spaceport CSSB-16]], soused out of their minds (Repugnus especially so, as he was half carried by [[Doublecross]]) on some high-quality [[energon]]. {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1}}

===Fun Publications comics===

A [[Maximal]] Repugnus from [[Primax 1104.30-TW Zeta]] {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/02}} was one of the [[Child of Primus|Children of Primus]] involved in the final battle of the [[Universe War]] on the surface of [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|Revelations Part 2}} With the disappearance of Unicron beneath him, he apparently ended up at [[Axiom Nexus]] and was "processed". {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 1}}

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
:*''First Appearance:'' [[Spotlight: Arcee]] (spark only); [[Maximum Dinobots issue 2|Transformers: Maximum Dinobots #2]] (full appearance)
[[File:MaximumDinobots3 RepugnusBeastMode.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|"Aw... wook at da cute widdle Monsterbot. Here, boy! Kootchie, kootchie... AUGH! AUGH! IT'S RIPPING MY ARM OFF!"]]
In the era of [[Zeta Prime]], Repugnus was seen among the crowd of protesters rallying against the [[Outback (G1)|Autobot cop]] who reportedly killed an unarmed [[Hefter|Decepticon agitator]]. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 1: To Walk Among the Chosen|To Walk Among the Chosen}}

Repugnus, apparent leader of the Monsterbots, was held as a prisoner in the [[Garrus-9]] penitentiary complex overseen by Fortress Maximus, stripped down to his [[spark]] and held in a tiny box for an as-of-yet unknown crime or offense. {{storylink|Spotlight: Arcee}}

He has apparently served out his sentence, as he showed up on Earth with the other Monsterbots to bail out [[Grimlock (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Grimlock]]. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 2|Maximum Dinobots #2}} He merrily directed his team to mass-murder the [[Sunstreaker clone]]s, while threatening that Grimlock ''better'' have something to make his trip worthwhile—both Monsterbot and Dynobot may be outcasts, but he doesn't do things [[Death's Head (G1)|for free, yes?]] {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 3|Maximum Dinobots #3}}

[[File:Repugnus MaximumDinobots4.jpg|left|upright=1|thumb|Do you think I care that this is your series? Give me my damn money!]]

Later, aboard the Monsterbots' ship, Repugnus and his cohorts had a little sit-down with Grimlock. Repugnus wasn't particularly happy with Grimlock remaining mum on their payment, and not-so subtly hinted that they'd have to resort to violent methods (perish the thought, of course!) in order to extract their due. Grimlock calmly explained that they'd be given payment in the form of whatever information the Dynobots took from [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Shockwave]]'s ship [[Spotlight: Shockwave|before they destroyed it]]. Repugnus seemed satisfied enough by this.

The Monsterbots dropped the Dynobots off at [[Machination]] HQ, and even laid down a suppressive bombardment to knock out the anti-air defenses, but that was the extent of their help. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 4|Maximum Dinobots #4}}

When the battle largely went south, Repugnus and crew were summoned again for evac. [[Slag (G1)|Slag]], [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]], and [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]] showed up and Repugnus noted that they'd be good fits for his team, being interested only in themselves. This remark didn't appear to sit too well with the three Dynobots and they decided to return to help Grimlock battle Shockwave. The Monsterbots presumably lit out of there in a hurry before [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] caught sight of them. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 5|Maximum Dinobots #5}}

Years later, Repugnus had apparently rejoined the Autobot cause proper as a crew member of the ''[[Lost Light]]''. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 2: Words Hang in the Air|Words Hang in the Air}} When the ''Lost Light'' began to rapidly disappear, Repugnus evacuated the ship along with the rest of the crew. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 3: Predestination: A Beginner's Guide|Predestination: A Beginner's Guide}} After the ordeal had been dealt with, Repugnus was having a drink at [[Swerve's]] before being knocked out when [[Brainstorm (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Brainstorm]] spiked the drinks. {{storylink|slaughterhouse Part 2: The Road Not Taken|The Road Not Taken}} Repugnus, along with [[Doublecross]] fell on top of [[Rung (G1)|Rung]], trapping him. {{storylink|The Custom-Made Now - An Elegant Chaos Prologue|The Custom-Made Now}}

Repugnus became a member of the security team for the ''Lost Light'' after supporting [[Getaway]]'s mutiny. Like all of the crew, he was subjected to mnemosurgery that made him forget the mutiny and believe Megatron, Rodimus, and Ultra Magnus left of their own accord, abandoning the rest of the crew. He was subjected to additional reprogramming as a member of the security team, causing him to unquestioningly accept Getaway's orders, and believe anyone who opposed Getaway was a Decepticon traitor. {{storylink|The Plotters' Club (Part 1): Full Circle|Full Circle}}
{{-}}

===''Wings Universe''===
Repugnus was interviewed by [[Bishop (Autobot)|Bishop]] to give an expert entomologist opinion on a recent [[Virulent Clone|bug invasion]]. After Repugnus explained that he liked raising the cute little bug larvae to become massive horrible killers to sic on intruders, he then confirmed that not only was he not an entomologist, he didn't even know what that meant. {{storylink|Around Cybertron#Around Cybertron #10|Around Cybertron #10}}

[[Kup (G1)|Kup]] raced to warn [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] of the accident as the wild Monsterbots trashed the lab where they were born. Thankfully the [[Decepticon]]s attacked just then, and the Monsterbots burst out of the building through the wall to fight them. Repugnus, sweet guy that he is, gave [[Octane]] a great big hug. Rodimus expressed relief that, though they were monsters, at least they were Autobot monsters. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Monsterbots|Monsterbots commercial}}

Pressing a grip on the creature's back causes the claws to swing outwards. This assembly can be used as a hand-held weapon in robot mode, while his tail becomes a forearm-mounted shield.

: He was only available in a box set with [[Overbite (G1)|''Universe'' Overbite]] which had been originally intended for normal retail release, but with the cancellation of the ''Universe'' line at retail, was eventually released as a Target [[exclusive]]. Repugnus is an Autobot according to the [[Insignia|faction sigil]] stamped on him, though the packaging labels him a [[Decepticon]].

: The same mold was used to create ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Buzzclaw (G1)|Buzzclaw]], [[Dirge (Timelines)|Dirge]], and the [[Virulent Clone|Virulent Clones]]. Like those figures, Repugnus came [[Misassembly|misassembled]], with his creature mode mandibles angled perpendicular to the beast head as opposed to their proper parallel position. This does not hamper his robot mode in any way, however.

===Generations===
[[File:TF-Generations-Titans-Return-Titan-Master-Repugnus.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1|Does not shoot sparks when connected to the body.]]
*'''Repugnus''' (Titan Master, 2017)
**''Accessories'': Insect/jet/blade-weapon vehicle
:Part of the fourth wave of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Titan Master figures, Repugnus transforms from robot based on his original toy to a head based on his design in ''The Headmasters'' cartoon, and he's compatible as a head with any Deluxe-or-larger ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' figure.

:Included with him is a shell that he can combine with to resemble his original toy's beast mode. His shell can become a bladed non-firing double-barred blaster with, or a jet-like vehicle with four thrusters molded into the legs. Repugnus fits inside the beast and weapon modes as a folded-up component, but "pilots" the jet mode as a robot.

:The two pegs at the bottom front of his beast shell can be used to connect his feet, though none of his modes use them in this way. In an undocumented or possibly unintended feature, moving the beast head forward and inserting the Titan Master behind it with arms raised allows the feet to peg firmly here, creating a "rider" mode. The notch in the back of the neck strut is just wide enough to accommodate the waist of the Titan Master.

:His head was later redecoed for the ''Legends'' line (see below), while his insect/jet/blade-weapon vehicle was redecoed as [[Broadside_(G1)#Legends|''Legends'' Broadside's]] accessory. He would've been redecoed as Titan Master [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] for the BotCon 2017 "Action on Hydrus Four" set that never came to be.

*'''Repugnus''' (Special Edition Deluxe, [[2018]])
**''Accessories'': Two swords, [[Dastard]] [[Titan Master]], [[Solus Prime]] [[Prime Master]]
:Repugnus is a very extensive [[retool]] of ''Titans Return'' [[Doublecross|Twinferno]], transforming into his traditional robot and bug-monster modes. The robot's swords plug into the back in creature mode to give the appearance of an insect's curved carapace or combine together to create sled that Dastard or any other Titan Master can ride. The sled can also be mounted on Repugnus's bug mode shoulder. Titan Master Dastard gives Repugnus a head sculpt very much based on the G1 toy, unlike the animation-based Repugnus Titan Master listed above.

:Some specimens have red paint on both of the robot pectoral plates, while others have it only on one. It is not currently known which version is more common.

:This figure was revealed through a preorder listing on [[Amazon.com]] without any official announcement from Hasbro.

==Notes==
* The instructions for the original Repugnus and [[Doublecross]] toys depict Repugnus with Doublecross's Rust Ray and Doublecross with Repugnus's venom laser.
* Repugnus was one of [[Glen Hallit]]'s last contributions to the ''Universe'' line, as the [[redeco]] was his brainchild. It's likely that if the ''Universe'' comic had continued, Repugnus would have been indicated to be the Generation 1 character, a favorite of Hallit's. [[Ask Vector Prime]] would [[Canonizing|canonize]] this idea years later.

Cog (G1)

2018-07-20T04:03:40Z

Awsm57: /* Generations */

{{factions|autobot}}
{{disambigm|Cog (disambiguation)|Gasket (disambiguation)}}
:''Cog is an [[Autobot]] [[drone]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:TFU Cog.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|Clockwise from right: Cog, Grommet, and Gasket. Not pictured: Widget, Doodad, and Thingamajigger.]]

'''Cog''' is the combined robotic form of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]'s vehicular drones, '''Gasket''' and '''Grommet'''. Cog has no independent will of his (its?) own and is completely under Maximus's control. Functioning as both mechanic and warrior, he allows Fortress Maximus to be at other places while in city mode, as well as to interact with more normally-sized beings.<ref>Fortress Maximus's bios in the [[The Transformers Universe|Marvel ''Transformers Universe'']] and [[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|Dreamwave ''More than Meets the Eye'']]. Remarkably, the two bios entirely agree with each other's presentation of Cog, as his drone status had already been established in Fortress Maximus's on-package bio.</ref> (Why Maximus would need this when he already has [[Cerebros (G1)|Cerebros]] is unclear.)

==Fiction==
===Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics===
[[File:Marvelhm01 Cog speaks.jpg|left|thumb|Dammit, Max, stop doing your ventriloquist act and ''fight!'']]
[[File:Marvelhm01 gasketandgourmet.jpg|125px|thumb|Dammit, Max, stop repainting your drones and ''fight!'']]

Cog was among [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]'s troops that ambushed a prisoner-of-war death march led by [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. He stood at Fortress Maximus's side as he held the troops, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, then split into his component vehicles Gasket and Grommet for the attack. Cog returned to [[robot mode]] by the time the Decepticons' battle line broke, and he counseled Fortress Maximus to finish off the fleeing Decepticons. Maximus refused, instead calling for a mutual retreat. Both Cog's [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]s were seen returning to the [[Manganese Mountains]] with the rescued prisoners.

Much later, after a disastrous military confrontation with the natives on planet [[Nebulos]], [[:File:Marveluk133 cog sedition.jpg|Cog]] was one of the Autobots that gathered around [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] to talk smack about Fortress Maximus's pacifist-aggressive leadership style. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}}
{{-}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
Cog, Gasket, and Grommet were identified as some of the names or aspects of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] in the Builders' era when [[Survive]] led a unit to eliminate the robot/base. {{storylink|Head Games}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[File:Cogtoy.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|"Sit on my face and tell me that you love me."]]
* '''Fortress Maximus''' (Headmaster Base, 1987)

:Cog was available as part of the Fortress Maximus set. He is formed by combining the two armored cars, Gasket and Grommet; the process involves little more than removing Gasket's arms and re-pegging them on his sides and then pegging the two vehicles together. The top of Gasket's [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] is sculpted to securely fit [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] (pictured) or any other large Headmaster figure.

:Cog, Gasket and Grommet were redecoed into [[Grand Maximus]]'s [[Cog (Masterforce)|Cog, Onomisu and Koka]]. Additionally, these parts were redecoed for campaign and lucky draw prizes to accompany ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Car Robots]]'' [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]], whose toy didn't include the Cog parts.

**''Accessories'': Two rifles
:''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|War for Cybertron: Siege]]'' Cog is a new mold which transforms from robot into armored vehicle and back. He can also be disassembled to form an arsenal of weapons compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T.]] system, which can be wielded by various other figures from the same subline, as well as accomodate 'Fire Blast' effect pieces from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment to simulate blaster fire.

==Notes==
[[File:Marvelhm01 gromet decepticon.jpg|100px|thumb|It's the wrong trousers, [[Wikipedia:Wallace and Gromit|Gromit]]! And they've gone wrong!]]
*Cog's in-story portrayal as an independent entity who conversed with Fortress Maximus is clearly at odds with all of his [[bio]]s, including the one published in a later issue of the comic. Not only that, but Cog-the-drone didn't even have a reason to ''exist'' at this point, since Maximus had not yet been enlarged to "city"-size. Whether this appearance should be considered an art error or an indication of unknown events is up to the reader.
* Cog and his components were variously miscolored in almost every appearance in the ''[[The Transformers: Headmasters|Headmasters]]'' book. Such art errors were ''extremely'' common in the miniseries.
* The one time any of his components was colored ''right'' was when Grommet was shown fighting alongside the [[Decepticon]]s (see right).
* Cog's speaking line makes more sense in the context of the art errors: he's colored like [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]], and his advice to Fortress Maximus suits Hardhead's aggressive nature. So the most likely explanation is that he was incorrectly drawn as Cog, and [[Nelson Yomtov|the colorist]] was actually using the ''correct'' color scheme from the scripted character. This is supported by the fact that Fortress Maximus is also colored correctly—but is drawn like Hardhead!

[[File:Marveluk130 cog dewback.jpg|100px|thumb|You're ''not helping,'' England.]]

* In the UK printing, someone noticed the errors and decided that the colors and script were wrong, not the line-art. So the dialogue was changed to have Cog addressing Hardhead, not Fortress Maximus. Unfortunately, not only does this negate the possibility that what appears to be Cog is actually Hardhead himself, but it also attributes the followup line ("There's been enough destruction!") to Hardhead, which does not suit his personality at all.
