'''Risk''' is a commercial boardgame produced by [[Hasbro]] under its [[Parker Brothers]] board games imprint. It involves turn-based strategy on a world map for two to six players. It was invented in [[1957]] by the clever fleshling Albert Lamorisse to allow his fellow meat creatures to pretend they were conquering the world. Little did these primitive sentients know that they were but grain before the thresher of mighty [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]! Ahem.

==Merchandise==
* '''RISK TRANSFORMERS CYBERTRON Battle Edition''' (2007)
<br/>
:Transformers RISK is a variation on the traditional RISK game ostensibly set in the [[Movie (franchise)|movie continuity]], though it may constitute a [[Micro-continuity|micro-continuity]] of its own. As a themed version of the old board game with a little Cybertronian flair, it grants a long-standing wish of many Transformer fans: a chance to participate in the Great War! In the classic, Earth-map game RISK, holding the bottlenecks, and therefore the "continent", is the key to victory. Hasbro's newest version changes the rules slightly with the ability to transform. The Cybertronian version of this game has characters (leaders of armies) who can change from their robot form to their alt mode, as well as entire territories (zones) that turn, open, and even crush whole armies, creating new strategic opportunities instantly. While the characters are obviously from the live-action movie, the areas of Cybertron draw primarily from the comic book continuities, and players can even occupy Unicron and Primus themselves—or, presumably, just zones named in honor of them. The game's duration is restricted by a 6 "day" time limit, but this is easily modified by just ignoring the counter on the side of the board. A more prominent variation from standard RISK is the use of the cards one gets from successfully invading another's territory during one's turn. Instead of the regular card with an army type on it accompanied by a territory, which could be exchanged for reinforcements once three of a kind were collected, the Transformer's RISK cards contain the ability to transform territories, provide offensive/defensive enhancements, or add an extra army or two, depending on the choice of the player who plays them. Gone are the days of massive reinforcements with which to scour the planet in one massive march.

:The winner of the game is still primarily decided by the dice, which proffer luck indiscriminately and often thwart even the most capable war planner. Still, the game is fun and encourages creativity in the field of All Things Transformers. Now all fans need is a software version complete with graphics and sound bites...

==Gameplay==
===Leaders===
Each force in Transformers RISK has a '''leader''', capable of transforming (or "morphing") between robot and vehicle mode, each of which confers special powers on the character. Although the game is set on Cybertron, all the leaders (except Megatron) are depicted with Earthen [[Alternate mode|alternate modes]].

* '''[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'''
* '''[[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'''
* '''[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'''
* '''[[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]'''

<br/>
===Locations===
Though the game is set in the movie continuity, the Cybertron of Transformers RISK spans many locations, or "zones", drawn from previous incarnations of the franchise that will be familiar to the casual (and not-so-casual) fan. As with other themed versions of RISK, use of the definite article and spelling are somewhat arbitrary, leading to some slightly odd location names. These zones are grouped by color into "sectors", analogous to continents in traditional RISK.

====Green Sector====
* '''[[Central City (Cybertron)|Central City]]'''
* '''[[Chamber of the Ancients]]'''
* '''[[High Council Pavilions]]'''
* '''[[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]'''
* '''[[Nova Cronum]]'''
* '''The [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]]'''
* '''[[Primus]]'''
* '''[[Protihex]]'''
* '''[[Tower of Pion|Pion Tower]]''' - this zone can be "transformed", or rotated, to allow access to neighbouring zones.
* '''[[Tyger Pax]]'''
* '''[[Unicron]]''' - the starting point for Megatron, Unicron is a location on Cybertron in this [[Micro-continuity|micro-continuity]] (perhaps he crashed).
* '''[[Uraya]]'''

====Blue Sector====
* '''[[The Arena]]'''
* '''[[Hexima State]]''' - invented for the game.
* '''[[Launch Pad]]''' - the tie-breaker. If both sides control an even number of zones at the end of the game, whoever controls this zone wins.
* '''[[Orbital Beta Platform]]''' - invented for the game.
* '''The [[Praetorus Wharf]]'''
* '''The [[Rad Zone]]'''
* '''[[Stellar Galleries|Stella Galleries]]''' - presumably a misspelling of the Stellar Galleries, possibly by someone rather too fond of the old [[wikipedia:Stella_Artois|wife-beater]].
* '''[[Tarn]]'''
* '''[[Vos]]'''

====Purple Sector====
* '''[[Altihex]]'''
* '''[[Kaon]]'''
* '''[[Kolkular]]'''
* '''[[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadams]]''' - as an unofficial rule, all players must take a drink whenever there's a battle involving this zone.
* '''[[Polyhex]]'''
* '''[[Praxus]]''' - like Pion Tower, Praxus can be rotated to allow or deny access to neighbouring zones.
* '''[[Smelting pool|Smelting Pool]]'''

====Red Sector====
* '''[[Autobase]]''' - this is the starting point for Optimus Prime.
* '''The [[Decagon]]''' - opens to reveal a Secret War Factory.
* '''The [[Neutral Territories]]'''
* '''[[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]]'''
* The '''[[Tagan Heights|Tagon Heights]]'''
* '''[[Tyrest (polity)|Tyrest]]'''

====Yellow Sector====
* '''The [[Border Regions]]'''
* '''[[Kalis]]''' - where the dead walk.
* '''[[Perihex]]''' - invented for the game.
* '''The [[Space bridge|Space Bridge]]''' - this is the starting point for Bumblebee.

====Orange Sector====
* '''[[Hydrax Plateau]]''' - this is the starting point for Barricade.
* '''[[Moon Alpha]]''' - opens to reveal a Secret War Factory.
* '''The [[Sonic Canyons]]'''
* '''[[Tri-Torus Loop]]'''

==Notes==
* Some cities from the live-action movie continuity are absent from the board as well, notably '''[[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]]''', '''[[Simfur]]''', and '''[[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]]''' (which could possibly be '''Unicron''' because they are both Megatron's headquarters/starting point).

Jazz (Movie)

2011-07-29T17:51:23Z

Barricade123: /* Dark of the Moon */

{{factions|autobotfilm}}
{{disambig3|Jazz}}
:''Jazz is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MovieJazz promorender.jpg|right|350px|thumb|"Slide with me. Just bounce with me. Now freeze!"]]
First Lieutenant '''Jazz''' is one happy-go-lucky Autobot. Good-natured and always able to take things in stride, he provides a decent contrast to the more serious demeanor of [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] or [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] himself. He's also a talker, something Ironhide and Prime like to tease him about. He might be the smallest Autobot but he's by no means a coward, willing to take on any foe, big or small.

{{bigquote|Oh, I got something ''real'' flashy in mind!|Jazz gets ready to create a distraction, [[Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game]]}}

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance1 Ratchet Jazz vocalprocessors.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Kup and Ratchet like blaming turbo revvin' young punks.]]
Many years before the civil war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Jazz was a member of the Security Force under [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]]. As Optimus pondered the venerable age of the artifacts they had found at an excavation near the temple of [[Simfur]], Jazz jokingly asked if they were as old as [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], earning him a threat of [[vocal processor]]-disabling retribution and a whack on the back of the head. He was present when [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]]'s team found a strange artifact with the [[Decepticon|strange symbol]] and helped escort the relic out of the dig site when the aliens whom Commander [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] had encountered earlier suddenly attacked the planet. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}}

In the aftermath, Jazz accompanied Prowl as the latter investigated the attack on the Simfur temple. Prowl theorised that the aliens were trying to break into the temple, not destroy it, Jazz opined that they must have been after the [[AllSpark]]. When Megatron rallied Cybertron's inhabitants to war against the alien attackers, Jazz and most of the others in the science and security division loyally stayed at Optimus's side to uphold the ideals of Cybertron. Later, when Prime mentioned Megatron's questionable behavior and wished there was unity in the population, Jazz pointed out that he had the same chance of convincing Megatron to be unified as they do of being considered part of his army. Realising sentries such as Prowl and Jazz had access to Megatron's personal quarters, Prime asked them for a favour. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

Jazz accompanied Optimus and Prowl to Megatron's quarters, where Optimus discovered that the relic previously unearthed seemed to have been restored by Megatron himself. Later, Jazz was part of the team sent to arrest Optimus for treason. However, on the way to Trypticon, the group were ambushed by members of the [[Defense Force]] sent to kill them. Optimus directed the others in a successful counter attack and ordered the group to rally at [[Burthov]]. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

Jazz and several other former security officers helped [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] "capture" the former military officer [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and bring him into the rebel base to see Optimus '''Prime'''. Later after it was discovered that Megatron was building a [[Nemesis (ROTF)|massive starship]] for some unknown purpose, Jazz was the one who suggested they should have their own ship as well, just in case. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} As part of a crowd of Autobots, he later watched from a distance as the Decepticon ship was launched. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} During the subsequent civil war, Jazz fought alongside Optimus Prime in their struggle for freedom, but as the war reached its height, Optimus decided to launch the AllSpark into space to keep it out of Lord Megatron's hands and to buy them time. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] was successful in diverting the Decepticon leader's attention at [[Tyger Pax]], but was grievously injured as a result. Jazz was part of the team that discovered him in the wreckage after the Decepticons had left. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}}

As the Autobots prepared to leave Cybertron to go after Megatron and the AllSpark, Optimus Prime expressed concern on if the remaining civilians and Autobots on Cybertron could hold out while they were gone. Jazz informed him that their troops were laying low, but if the Decepticons tried any mischief, they would be in for a nasty surprise. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}
{{-}}

===''Ghosts of Yesterday'' prequel novel===
Onboard the ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]'', Jazz was the first to detect the ''[[Ghost 1|Ghost 1's]]'' presence, and the first to point out that, despite the Cybertronian elements in its design, it did not originate from Cybertron. He was in favor of blowing it up anyway, as he agreed with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] that there was a chance it could be a Decepticon ruse. After [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] was sent to follow the ship down to a nearby planet, Ironhide and Optimus joked that Jazz would have made a poor scout.

When [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] mounted an attack on the ''Ark'', Jazz and Ironhide backed up Optimus. Jazz was unhappy when the plan changed, and the two Autobots were sent back to guard the ship, but they got to expel [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] from the hangar, and had the damage done repaired by the time Optimus returned. Jazz lost contact with Bumblebee, resulting in Optimus going down to the planet to check. While Optimus was gone, the Decepticons attacked once again, and Jazz came up with a new plan. Jazz kept the Decepticons distracted, while Ironhide attempted to approach the ''[[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]'' through a sensor blind-spot.

Unfortunately the plan was ruined by the return of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and Jazz suffered a large amount of damage. Ironhide got the smaller Autobot back to the ''Ark'', where Jazz was insistent that situation was bad enough that they should leave the area without Optimus and Bumblebee, as Prime has originally ordered. As it turned out, the two missing Autobots returned in time for it to not turn into an issue, and Optimus ordered another engagement. Despite his severe damage, Jazz was able to take out [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] and help Ironhide fight Bonecrusher. {{storylink|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

===Titan Magazines ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Jazz likes "to keep his bodywork ''buff''" by externalizing his [[Spark]] Core forcefield - in the past, that led to him almost being killed when [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] almost tore out his unprotected Spark. He only survived thanks to fellow Autobot [[Clocker (Movie)|Clocker]], who was killed covering his retreat. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 6|Lost In Space 4: Jazz}}

When the [[AllSpark]] was launched, Jazz, [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] attempted to distract Megatron from pursuing it. They ended up attacked by [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] and warped across space by a [[foldspace warhead]]. {{storylink|Prelude: Megatron}}

[[Image:JazzTitan06.JPG|left|250px|thumb|"I HAVE SEEN THE LORD!"]]

Jazz ended up on a planet that he dubbed "the Information Highway"—a constantly-morphing world with "the accumulated knowledge of countless alien cultures, condensed into some kind of sensory precipitation". He loved this world and the constant new experiences so much that he deliberately ignored Ratchet's homing beacon, wanting to stay here forever. However, the planet was alive and predatory, and ended up absorbing him into it - he fired off a warning buoy to stop others arriving, and only this led to Ratchet & Ironhide finding where he was and rescuing him. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 6|Lost In Space 4: Jazz}}

He doesn't like the war and, as the Information Highway incident shows, has no qualms about deserting if given the opportunity.
{{-}}
{{notetitantlg}}
Because of a lack of troops on [[Earth]], Ratchet used a corrupted fragment of the AllSpark to bring Jazz back to life.<ref name="allsparkjazzbio"> '''AllSpark-Enhanced Autobot Jazz''' bio</ref> Happy to be back, Jazz blew off the suggestion that death had made any impact beyond him wanting to live every day as if it was his last, and he was dispatched with Ratchet to secure a raw energon field.

[[Image:JazzTitan21.JPG|right|250px|thumb|"And my sound effects are inane!"]]

Unfortunately, it turned out the corrupted fragment had indeed led to Jazz himself being corrupted; he paralyzed Ratchet and attempted to exploit Earth's apocalypse by selling the newly energon rich planet to the highest bidder. His auction was interrupted by [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], who rejected an offer to join forces, and attacked. Ratchet revived and managed to destroy the energon field the auction was being held in; Jazz escaped in the resulting confusion. {{storylink|Dark Spark}}

He later kept back as a happy hired gun for [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], out to murder Optimus Prime. He was prevented from this when the ''second'' hired gun, [[Kullt]], turned up; he realised Starscream didn't trust him to be able kill an old comrade and was so insulted he gunned down the other mercenary. He was left rattled when Optimus pointed out he could have let Kullt do the work for him and ''then'' gun him down, which suggested there was still some goodness in him. He drove off in the face of reinforcements, vowing to prove Optimus wrong next time. {{storylink|Hard Target}}

{{note|He wasn't seen again before the alternate universe was wrapped up.}}

:''Voice actor:'' [[Darius McCrary]] (English), [[Taiten Kusunoki]] (Japanese), [[Torsten Michaelis]] (German), [[Reginaldo Primo]] (Brazil), [[Gerardo García]] (Latin American-Spanish)

[[Image:Movie2007 Jazz dealership.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Why buy? When you can be!]]
Jazz was part of Optimus Prime's unit, summoned to Earth by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] after the latter Autobot came to be in the possession of [[Sam Witwicky]]. After his [[protoform]] crashed through a baseball stadium, he investigated a nearby car dealership and chose a Pontiac Solstice hardtop as his vehicle mode.

[[Image:Jazz movie ally.JPG|right|250px|thumb|Sadly, the other car's owner only had liability.]]

Linking up with his fellow Autobots in a deserted alley, Jazz greeted Sam and [[Mikaela Banes]] as "little bitches," stating that Earth seems to be a cool place to hang out. He casually sat on the hood of another car while Optimus Prime explained to Sam they learnt Earth's languages through the internet. He then relayed their mission to find the [[AllSpark]] and explained how his [[Archibald Witwicky|grandfather's]] glasses were the key to its location.

Soon after, as Sam looked for his grandfather's glasses, the Autobots attempted to assist by clumsily destroying the yard where they went. When it came to hide from [[Ronald Witwicky|the]] [[Judy Witwicky|parents]], Jazz had the easiest time blending into the shadows due to his small stature.

[[Image:Movie Jazz Sector Seven.JPG|thumb|left|250px|You'll get them back at the end of class.]]
When Sam and Mikaela were captured by [[Sector Seven]], the Autobots mounted a rescue that saw Optimus Prime tearing the roof off [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons's]] vehicle. When the agents attempted to resist, Jazz used a magnet to relieve the humans of their weapons. After Bumblebee was captured by Sector Seven during the retreat, Jazz expressed his desire to rescue him, but was overruled by Optimus Prime, who didn't believe it possible to accomplish this without harming the humans, and so they should let them go.

The next day, after Optimus used his navigation scanner on Archibald Witwicky's glasses, Jazz again commented that they could not leave Bumblebee to die at the hands of Sector Seven, to become a human experiment. Optimus replied that Bumblebee would die in vain if they did not find the AllSpark, and when Ironhide asked if the primitive and cruel humans deserved to be saved, Optimus countered by asking if Transformers were so different in the past. Going on to explain what he saw in the humans, Prime declared that if it came to it, he would sacrifice himself to destroy the AllSpark - the humans should not pay for Cybertron's mistakes. Inspired by his words, Jazz and the other Autobots rolled out, filled with determination.

[[Image:Movie Jazz on Brawl.JPG|right|250px|thumb|"Come on, Decepticon punk!"<br/> "MY MISSILE LAUNCHER! That's like a reproductive organ to me!"]]

On the way to [[Hoover Dam]], the Autobots encountered Bumblebee leading a column of Sector Seven assault vehicles. Jazz and his fellow Autobots applied brakes and did a hard u-turn to join the formation.

Entering [[Mission City]], the [[William Lennox|human]] [[Robert Epps|soldiers]] tried to call for air support from their own forces, only to be attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] disguised as a human F-22 fighter. Jazz, oddly, sat in vehicle mode after the explosion which crippled Bumblebee, destroying his legs. When [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] began shelling the battle site, Jazz led the Autobot charge toward the Decepticon, speeding to the tank in vehicle mode, then transformed and hopped on top of the turret to distract the Decepticon from the humans. As Devastator also transformed, Jazz managed to wreck his left-side rocket launcher pod before being tossed off. He then sped back to the battle, firing at Devastator, while [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] sliced of Devastator's left arm.

[[Image:Jazz DyingAction.jpg|left|250px|thumb|"Wait, why did I tell everyone to retreat again?"]]

Jazz tried to delay [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] when he appeared on the scene in order to cover the escape Captain Lennox's men and civilians. Despite Lennox's cries for him to fall back, Jazz bravely faced Megatron alone, but all he got for his trouble was being blasted by the Decepticon's fusion cannon. As Ironhide and Ratchet escorted Sam and the AllSpark to safety, Megatron preyed upon the small Autobot who had the audacity to attack him. The Decepticon leader tossed him through the air, then landed upon him with the crushing grip of his talons. Valiantly, Jazz fought on to the bitter end as Megatron tore him in two, throwing his pieces to the ground before attacking Optimus Prime.

After being separated from Sam Witwicky, Ratchet hurried to Jazz, but his [[spark]] had already faded. In the aftermath of Megatron's defeat, Ironhide somberly handed Optimus Prime Jazz's remains as Ratchet reported that he could not save their comrade. The Autobot leader somewhat half-heartedly eulogized him, and quickly moved on. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

{{notemoviebio}}

Before coming to Earth, Jazz was involved in a deep-space battle over a barren world. He was badly damaged in the conflict and was taken offline by Brawl. After he was fixed up and upgraded his endoskeleton reinforcements, he had a renewed determination to keep his vehicle mode in pristine condition.<ref>'''Premium series''' bio</ref>

In the final battle for the AllSpark, Jazz faced off against Bonecrusher for a last battle to the absolute finish.<ref>'''Autobot Jazz vs. Bonecrusher''' bio,</ref> Also in that battle, Jazz took on Megatron alone, as everyone else was preoccupied with Brawl. Although he knew he didn't stand a chance, he would go down fighting for the weak, as a true Autobot would.<ref>'''Battle Jazz vs. Ice Megatron''' bio</ref>

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Jazz was left badly damaged as a result of those confrontations.

Ratchet rebuilt Jazz in what turned out to be a long recovery process. Jazz had time to think. And think he did, about a new paintjob!<ref>Target Exclusive Generation 1-style '''Autobot Jazz''' bio</ref>

{{note|Jazz's fate in the film is about as unambiguous a depiction of a [[Death|Transformer death]] as one could hope for.

Later, in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' prequel comic, Optimus Prime asked to have Jazz's remains buried.<br />Despite all this, bio information on his Target-exclusive [[redeco]] clearly said that he was rebuilt by Ratchet.

====Autobot campaign====
[[Image:VGE4M3Jazzkabob.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Ironhide, check this out."<br/> "Cool, a piñata!"<br/> "...Hate...both of...you..."]]
Jazz arrived on Earth as part of Optimus Prime's unit, summoned to the [[human]] planet by Bumblebee. After taking on the form of a Pontiac Solstice, he met up with the other Autobots. His first mission was to distract Sector Seven and law enforcement units, which he did, buying his fellow Autobots time to escape. Jazz was then surrounded by Sector Seven SUVs and Decepticon drones numerous times, requiring Ironhide's help to escape.

He would then make his way to [[Mission City]], where he engaged [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and two [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] drones. Jazz defeated all four of them, but as he celebrated his great victory, [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] appeared behind him and punctured Jazz's chest with his claw, extinguishing his [[spark]]. [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] arrived just in time to witness the killing, swore he'd make Brawl's death slow, and fought through a horde of Decepticon units to destroy him. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game}}

====Decepticon campaign====
Jazz arrived in Mission City with Sam and Mikaela (taking the role of the destroyed Bumblebee), where he was confronted by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

===''Transformers: Autobots''===
Jazz's first appearance is with the other Autobots, meeting in an old junk yard. Setting out into the city, he retrieved a number of [[Sector Seven]] vehicles before running into [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]; after a tedious battle, Blackout ran. Returning to the group, Jazz informs that Sector Seven holds Megatron and the AllSpark in the Hoover Dam and has patrols looking for the Autobots, which Bumblebee volunteered to distract them, getting himself caught in the progress. Jazz later upload a virus to access Sector Seven mainframe, and downloaded data from a military hangar. Jazz was able to get the data, despite being outnumbered by remote vehicles, returned to the rendezvous point, which he reported that he was able to find an entrance to the base and Bumblebee, but could not find Megatron and the AllSpark. Jazz tells Optimus that rescuing Bumblebee be their first priority because of Bumblebee's tracking ability, which Optimus agrees. When the Autobots returned to Tranquility with the AllSpark, Jazz required assistance to take out spark drones within the area. Create-A-Bot answered the call and both Autobots took out 50 drones. With the drones destroyed, Jazz stayed where he was in case more show up and told Create-A-Bot to check on Bumblebee. After that, he was not seen again. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Autobots}}

===''Transformers: Decepticons''===
At the [[Hoover Dam]], Jazz set up several automated turrets and Autobot drones around the lower perimeter of the Dam, preventing [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] from escaping. However, this line of defense only works for so long, as the turrets could only fire at air-borne objects. Finally getting up the side of the Dam, Jazz stepped in Megatron's path, doing little more than trash talking before Megatron jumped into battle. After a roughly equal fight, Jazz finally fell. Megatron then finished him off and desecrated the Autobot's corpse. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Autobots}}

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

:A much smaller version of the character, [[Legends Class|Legends-class]] Jazz features limited articulation and detail, along with a much simpler transformation. A rather glaring side-effect of this simplicity, in a desire to mimic the hood chest of the larger toy, is the addition of [[kibble]]: a second front bumper on the roof of his alt-mode. Whether this means Jazz also includes a second engine to go with this front bumper or an attempt at compensation for a case of [[Barricade (Movie)|police car envy]] is unknown. Ironically, the smallest version of Jazz is the biggest Legends toy in the movie line. Even bigger than Optimus. This may make up for the Arcee toy being taller than his Deluxe figure.

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Runamuck (ROTF)|Runamuck]].

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-04'''
**''Accessories'' Telescoping "sword" (rifle)

:Jazz transforms into a silver [[wikipedia:Pontiac_Solstice|Pontiac Solstice]] Custom Hardtop. Included is a blaster weapon that elongates into a sniper rifle, which may also be clipped directly onto his rear spoiler when in vehicle mode. In robot mode, the section featuring this same rear spoiler may be kept folded onto his back or worn on either shoulder as a shield. An interesting undocumented feature is a hinge joint located on the bottom of the rifle can attach to the ''shield's'' hinge joint, creating three choice weapon configurations: ''(a)'' a mounted long range sniper rifle, ''(b)'' an ambidextrous shoulder-mounted cannon, or ''(c)'' a short range blaster with built-in shield somewhat akin to what has been seen in Jazz's concept art and in the movie itself.

:As with most of the mainline toys, he features a [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmick that is activated by pushing the car roof down onto his back and locking it into place. This raises his head and slides his chest panels into proper position for the robot mode. This feature, like the weaponry mentioned above, is not documented at all, so one must be careful to not press the chest ''and'' the back at the same time.

:This toy was later redecoed into ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]].

[[Image:Movie G1Jazz toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"See? Nineteen-Eighty-Four!"]]
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Target Exclusive Deluxe, 2007)
**''Accessories'' Telescoping "sword" (rifle)

:An extensive [[redeco]] of Deluxe class Jazz, this Target-[[exclusive]] is heavily based on ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz's]] Martini Racing scheme. He's lacking in Martini sponsorship for all the obvious reasons, replacing them with his own name. Disco Jazz doesn't really need to advertise, but he does.

:This figure also features a minor retool of the joint in the forearm. On the initial, mass retail release of Deluxe Jazz, the black hinge-joint was able to slide over slightly as part of the original design. The new version features a shorter joint, which makes it a lot less floppy in robot mode. [[Cyberfly|Cyberflies]] sold separately.

*'''Final Battle Jazz''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-14'''
**''Accessories:'' "Crescent Cannon", energy-blast missile

:An extensive retool of Jazz, modifying his head and most of his legs to give them a broken, battle-scarred appearance. Amusingly, because Hasbro chose to keep his vehicle mode pristine, the rest of his body is undamaged. All the damaged parts have a black and blue deco, representing glowing circuitry and exposed conduits.

:Jazz comes with a brand new spring-loaded weapon (called a ''Crescent Cannon'' on the packaging), partially modeled after the actual weapon Jazz appears with in the film. It can fire a transparent blue projectile and, not unlike his original featured weapon, can be mounted in different configurations: ''(a)'' Mounted on his ''right'' arm with the Crescent Cannon missile launcher (with the crescent up) facing forward a la the film, or ''(b)'' mounted on his ''left'' arm with the flip-out rifle barrel pointed forwards (with the crescent down). The cannon can actually be rotated on the connecting peg, allowing the gun to be mounted in either configuration on either arm.

:Unusual for a regular Deluxe class figure, this version of Jazz is packaged on his card in robot mode, no doubt to highlight the changes to the figure that would not be visible in the vehicle mode.

:In addition to the retooled forearm joint also found on the Target exclusive "G1 color" Jazz, a running change variant of Final Battle Jazz adds another peg to the Crescent Cannon, thus allowing Jazz to use the weapon in all the different configurations on either arm.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=40291 Original Allspark thread about the running change mold variant for Final Battle Jazz's Crescent Cannon]</ref>

:In spite of the claim that this is a "final battle" version of Jazz, his torso does not separate easily from his legs.

:This more movie-accurate version of Jazz sports a shinier coat of silver paint, along with added paint application detail to his robot mode parts. As it is a straight redeco, despite his coloration being far closer to the movie model, his weapon is still the old preliminary-art "sword" rather than the [[#FinalBattle|"Final Battle" version's]] much more screen-accurate shield/cannon (which is [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] with the battle damaged parts).

:Though larger than the standard [[#Deluxe_Class_toys|Deluxe class Jazz]], [[Fast Action Battlers]] "Ion Blast" Jazz is a simplified toy for the younger set with comparatively few parts and detailing. In vehicle mode he's kind of a squat and cutified Pontiac Solstice. His articulation is limited to his shoulders, hips and knees, and has a spring-loaded missile launcher in place of his left hand.

:This toy was later redecoed into [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Sonic Shock Smokescreen]].

Like most Cyber Slammers, Jazz manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

:As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] line, this version of Jazz is a non-transforming action figure that utilizes [[Revoltech]]-style jointing. The sculpt hews much closer to the movie CGI model than is possible with the full transforming toys, plus the universal jointing of the line allows for his forearm to be replaced with the included Crescent Cannon (which is also called that on the toy's packaging), or parts from other Robot Replica figures. Jazz's shoulders are actually mounted on the wrong sides of the toy as compared to the [[Transformers (2007)|Movie's]] CG design, but can easily swapped due to the toy's body construction.

:''[[Titanium Series]]'' Jazz is a die-cast metal and plastic figurine, with an accurate sculpt based on the slender CG model owing to the fact he doesn't need to transform. Being a figurine, he only has articulation in his shoulders, neck and waist. Jazz is sculpted with a small handgun that was only featured in concept art early in film development that still showed Arcee as part of the main cast. Jazz comes with a Movie-style Autobot symbol display stand, as is expected.

Considering the generic nature of the protoforms, Protoform Jazz can easily represent any of his other three companions who crash landed to Earth. Like many Robot Heroes, he's jointed at the shoulders and neck.

*'''The Final Battle''' (2008)

: Packaged with Autobot Ratchet, Megatron, Blackout, and Optimus Prime, "Battle Damage" Jazz is a slightly redecoed version of the first two pack version. His exclusive deco involves a black paint wash and black-lined cracks over a shiny silver painted finish. The Final Battle 5-pack was sold exclusively in Wal-Mart stores.

==Notes==
[[Image:Movie Jazz armswordconcept.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Cool melee weapon in the game, totally non-existent in the movie.]]
* The packaging text for the Deluxe Jazz figure refers to his weapon as a "telescoping sword". As ridiculous as this sounds, considering this weapon ''looks'' like a firearm and can attach to his spoiler in vehicle mode as such, this very idea actually comes from concept drawings of a sword weapon featured on the same concept art that also had Jazz showcasing the short range blaster/shield thingy both featured in the film and included with his Final Battle retool. So, ''really''...not that ridiculous anymore.

* According to a press kit sent out in conjunction with the movie, Jazz has a "near-perfect recordable memory that makes him invaluable as a documenter of battles" and is "equipped with a fusion engine that allows him to reach sub-light speeds in vehicle mode." [http://numberonestars.com/transformers/production/autobots.htm] One, uh, would ''hope'' a Pontiac Solstice would be travelling at ''sub''-light speeds...

* During the final battle in [[Mission City]], there's a long period during which Jazz is not doing ''anything''. He's standing around in vehicle mode when Ironhide notices that the F-22 flying above the city is Starscream, stays in vehicle mode when Ironhide and Bumblebee pick up a Furby delivery truck for cover, ''still'' remains in vehicle mode when Starscream blasts them, and after Sam discovers that Bumblebee has lost his legs, all Jazz does is pull back for a few feet to give Bumblebee space to crawl. In the end, Jazz doesn't really join the battle ''at all'' until Brawl shows up.

* In an earlier draft of the movie script, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] was supposed to "consume" the sparks of Autobots he killed. A remainder of this can be found in the novelization and the IDW comic adaptation of the movie, which both explicitly state that Megatron tears out Jazz's spark. In the movie itself, however, Megatron simply appears to kill Jazz by ripping him apart at the waist, even though [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] was previously able to survive as a detached head. However, a recent rejiggering of Frenzy's biology makes this a moot point.

*Jazz's manner of speech is a late development. In the early script draft his first line in the film is simply saying "Greetings" to the humans.

* Though it is very brief, Jazz does indeed get a face close-up during the Mission City battle when he is shot by Megatron and falls over in pain, before he is ripped in half.

* The Pontiac Solstice prop car used for the movie sports the [[license plate]] "664 NLZO", without a state-specific registration. Although barely identifiable during his transformation before his fight with [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]], the car on display at GM Riverfront in Detroit in June 2007 sported the same plate.<ref name="jazzgmriv">[http://www.flickr.com/photos/jalopnik/592023523/ Pontiac Solstice prop car on display at GM Riverfront in Detroit in June 2007], Jalopnik photo at Flickr</ref> His robot CG model sports the license plate "I-4027E" instead, which was used for the [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] Saleen S281 Extreme Mustang prop on the set.

* In an appeal to his better nature in [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Titan]], Optimus said part of him was "still Autobot Jazz", a reference to the name of the Jazz toys.

* Jazz was included in the downloadable content for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the Revenge of the Fallen game. Apparently over-compensating for not being in the movie, Jazz is pretty much the most dangerous robot ever. If you play against him, just run.

* In both of his console game appearances for the [[Transformers The Game (console)|first movie game]] and [[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|the second]], Jazz was not seen wearing his iconic visor.

* Jazz is killed by three completely different Decepticons. He's killed by Megatron in the movie, while [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] is the one that kills the Autobot in the Autobot campaign and a [[Barricade (Movie)|fake law enforcer]] kills him in the Decepticon campaign in the Transformers 2007 video game.

'''Darksteel''' is dark and presumably made of steel. Tarnation! He was trained on Cybertron as a master swordsman, and although he's still capable of utilizing blasters, he doesn't trust them. There's nothing else with the killing power or reliability of a good blade.

Darksteel changes into a Corvette Stingray concept convertible in very dark brown with a teal flame deco. The interior is highly detailed, with seats, dashboard and steering wheel all molded into the compartment, though it's missing its floorboards. He also includes retooled versions of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] MechTech weapons made to resemble snake fangs and a scorpion's stinger.

:In Japan, this figure was exclusively available at Bic Camera.

==Notes==
*As revealed at [[BotCon 2011]], Darksteel is an intentional [[homage]] to ''[[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Quickstrike (BW)|Quickstrike]]. This occurred because designer [[Lenny Panzica]] likes snakes.
*Darksteel's name was originally announced at BotCon 2011 as Dark Iron (possibly Darkiron). Evidently plans changed at some point in production.

{{disambig3|Arcee}}
{{factions|autobotfilm|NEST}}

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

[[Image:Arceemovie.jpg|right|250px|thumb|She's got legs, she knows how to use them. Temporarily, anyway.]]
Though small compared to many of her peers and adversaries, '''Arcee''' compensates with speed and aggressive maneuvers, making her one of the most dangerous Autobots around. Moreover, Arcee is a born hunter. She honed her speed hunting [[Turbofox|turbofoxes]] with other speedsters, challenging herself to get as close as possible before tagging them with her bow. She's a crack shot with said crossbow weapon, and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] has trained her to use her speed to her advantage in battle, striking suddenly and swiftly and then vanishing away again as fast as she appeared.

The events at [[Tyger Pax]] created a nagging doubt in Arcee about her abilities. She carries some guilt about [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s injuries, and part of what drives her is the desire to prove herself, not only in the optics of her friends and comrades, but most importantly in her own. She also carries a standing feud with [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] for [[The Thrill of the Hunt|unknown reasons]].<ref name="battlebio">[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro Arcee Battle Bio]</ref>

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance1_Arcee_vehicle.jpg|thumb|left|200px|"I transform into a vacuum cleaner!"]]

Many, many years in the past, Arcee was a member of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus's]] science division, in charge of excavation site LT34 near the temple of [[Simfur]]. While Optimus was showing Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] around, her team discovered a mysterious relic with a [[Decepticon|strange symbol]] etched into it. She led her superiors to the ancient relic and watched as Megatron and Optimus began to argue when the former demanded the relic be relocated to his private quarters, Optimus relenting due to a sudden alien attack. Arcee assisted with its evacuation from the dig site. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1}}

After the attack, Arcee tried to save the life of one of the aliens, but was unsuccessful. She and [[Clocker (Movie)|Clocker]] moved the bodies to [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s lab, where they discovered that the beings were similar in structure to the Cybertronians, only lacking the ability to [[transformation|transform]]. Before they could speculate further about the common ancestry of the two races, [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]] arrived with orders from Optimus to assemble at the Simfur excavation site for a meeting. There, Arcee and the other scientists learned of Protector Megatron's demand for war and Optimus' thoughts on the issue. After most of the scientists agreed to follow Optimus, they travelled to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] to watch Megatron deliver his saber-rattling war rally. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2}}

Ratchet, Arcee and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] returned to the lab to analyze the other relic fragments recovered from the Simfur excavation, while Optimus, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] broke into Megatron's quarters to examine the intact relic. Before Optimus could explain to Ratchet the strange condition of the artifact, Arcee reported a finding—a symbol that appeared in the same place on all the different fragments: the same symbol that was on Optimus' head. Ratchet theorised that the legend of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] was true, and that Optimus was somehow connected to all of this. Later, at the dig site near [[Burthov]], Arcee, Ratchet and Optimus were arrested by Prowl's security forces on orders from Megatron for treason. What they didn't know was they were all being led into a trap, and the assassins Megatron sent would only take Optimus alive. After [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl's]] initial attack, Optimus ordered the group to escape to Burthov while he took care of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and his soldiers. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3}}

Arcee was part of the team who captured the disenchanted soldier [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and brought him before Optimus Prime. Ironhide pledged allegiance to Prime and brought news of the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', a massive starship that Megatron was building. While observing its construction and taking images of the ship, Arcee remarked that she had never seen its like before. During the subsequent civil war, Arcee defended civilians who were being targeted by Megatron's Decepticons for refusing to join in the war against Optimus Prime's Autobots. She was under the command of Bumblebee and desperately fought against Megatron's vast army at [[Tyger Pax]]. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4}}

[[Image:MoviePrequel1 Arcee Bumblebee.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Can I say something?"<br/> "Whatever it is now is not the right time!"]]

However, Arcee and the rest of those under Bumblebee's command didn't know the true purpose of their battle, for they were a diversion to keep Megatron busy while other Autobots readied the [[AllSpark]] for launch from Cybertron. She was captured and interrogated by the Decepticons but survived the ordeal. She recounted to their Autobot rescuers Bumblebee's heroics in delaying Megatron, preventing Megatron from intercepting the wormhole-bound AllSpark. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Prime Directive (IDW) issue 1}}

Many years later, following the death of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and the destruction of the AllSpark on [[Earth]], Arcee was in command of an Autobot assault team on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] and led [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] and others in an attack on [[Nemesis (Movie)|Starscream's ship]]. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Two}}

[[Image:ReignofStarscream4 Arcee.jpg|left|150px|thumb|She's so happy to be home, she doesn't even care that Payload's looking up her dress.]]

While her team made short work of the [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drones the Decepticons sent against them, Arcee killed the Decepticon sniper [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]] before he could snipe [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]]. Her teammates were unprepared for the arrival of [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]], however, and he quickly slew [[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]] and wounded [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]]. Remembering her failure at Tyger Pax, Arcee leapt into action, and soon she and Cliffjumper had Thundercracker at their mercy. The arrival of Starscream changed that, as he killed Smokescreen and Air Raid and badly damaged Cliffjumper. As she attempted to pull the last surviving member of her team to safety, Arcee was kicked aside by Starscream. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Three}}

However, Arcee recovered an instant later. The Decepticon starship was already taking off, but she jumped and grabbed onto a piece of landing gear, holding on tight...through the [[space bridge]]. Wow. Later, she made her way back to an Autobot facility, where she unexpectedly met Clocker and [[Crosshairs (Movie)|Crosshairs]]. Along with a large force of Autobots, the three moved in on the Simfur temple, where Starscream was using captured Autobots for a strange project of his. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Four}}

She split her troops into two forces: One would attack the city of [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] as a diversion, while the other moved in on Simfur. Arcee and her team could only watch helplessly as Starscream drained the life out of the Autobot prisoners strapped onto the [[replica AllSpark]], despite her friend Elita-One's pleas for mercy. An opportunity to cause havoc presented itself when [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]]'s forces attempted a coup. Arcee lined up her sights on the generator holding the life energy of the deceased prisoners, dedicated the shot to Elita, and destroyed it, annihilating the Cube and sending the Decepticons into disarray. Arcee's team fought their way through the disorganised Decepticons, linked up with [[Wingblade]]'s team, and rolled out just as the crippled starship came crashing down on the city. With the destruction of the capitol and the defeat of a significant portion of the Decepticon drone army, Arcee considered this to be the turning point of the war, but as long as Starscream was alive, he was a threat that she had to track down. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Five}}

Arcee was on [[Earth]] for a short time at the beginning of the conflict there, presumably arriving shortly after Bumblebee. When the situation on Earth began to ramp up into out-and-out combat, she was reassigned elsewhere, where her stealth skills would be of more use.

Now she fights in the [[Charii system]] against a Decepticon splinter cell working on a star-breaking weapon. If she has her way, the only things breaking will be their heads.

===Titan Magazines ''Transformers'' movie comics===
{{Note|Arcee's appearance in [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s [[Movie Prequel (2007)|2007 Prime Directive movie prequel]] is in continuity with the following appearance in [[Titan Books|Titan]]'s comics, but the Titan comics are not in continuity with IDW's comics. Confused? You should be.}}

Originally, Arcee didn't serve either faction, working alone to solve injustices in her own way. [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] personally decided to make an example of her, and only an Autobot extraction team led by [[Kup (Movie)|Kup]] saved her life. This debt saw her join the Autobots. She's chimerical in nature and is constantly changing her alt-mode in an effort to go as fast as possible (maybe that's why her robot mode always looks different!). She [[Arcee (G1)|previously had a hover-car form]], but on Earth takes a modified bike mode. Once you earn her trust, she's [[Rick Astley|never going to let you down]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Arcee bio}}

{{notetitantlg}}

[[Image:Titan13 Arcee.jpg|right|150px|thumb|She's pissed off that she hasn't got her cool live-action design.]]

Arcee was one of the six Autobot reinforcements hiding on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} When [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] attacked them, the quick-thinking Arcee was the one who took command and rallied the troops. When this still failed to work, she ordered them to Earth (following [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm's]] initiative) and their prearranged targets. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} Alongside [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]], she guarded [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] while he destroyed the captive [[AllSpark]] and thus saved Earth from being cyberformed. When the other Autobots had believed they'd lost, Arcee was the only one who outright refused to accept defeat. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

And, of course, they didn't lose. However, Arcee was left bewildered by the idea that Humanity would not trust and love the Autobots, and Optimus explained to her that, from a human point of view, all the Transformers are alien horrors fighting on their planet. Following this, she guarded the [[Savannah]], [[Georgia]] shelter and was caught in [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] ambush. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}

Among other engagements to protect the American infrastructure, she served with Bumblebee in protecting an Alaskan pipeline. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

[[Image:Titan22 Arcee.jpg|left|200px|thumb|''That's'' better!]]

She was later part of Ironhide's team in retrieving [[Nucleon]] from Cybertron, which ran afoul of [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 17|Return to Cybertron: Part 1}} She acted as Bumblebee's distraction, drawing [[Storm Surge (Movie)|Storm Surge]] and [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] away, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron: Part 2}} and doubled back to regroup with Ironhide (and pull him out of rubble) when [[Unicron]] arrived. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} Later, she got Optimus Prime up to speed on the situation. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

Following the Decepticon re-conquest of Savannah, Arcee was part of the raid to rescue [[Mikaela Banes]]. She got off one bit of bravado about how hitting things was her kind of shindig before [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] hit ''her''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

When the Autobots launched their final strike, Arcee was part of the spearhead team hittting the [[Decepticon Heartland]]. She started off the 'tagging' of Decepticons to teleport them away from Earth, getting [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] in the back and looking very happy about it. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part Three}}

{{Note|The following takes place in the Star Screams letter column continuity.}}

Arcee runs a lonely-hearts ad column called Arcee's Soulmates in her spare time.

No, really.

===IDW ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comics===
[[Image:TalesoftheFallen6-Arceeprotoforms.jpg|left|thumb|250px|The best part of waking up is ... still being in your own body.]]

A ship carrying Arcee and her crew was shot down over a planet, and when Arcee managed to escape the wreckage, she saw that the culprit was her old nemesis, [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]]. She blacked out, and an indeterminate amount of time later, she awoke on an operating table—or rather, next to her old body on an operating table. Her [[spark]] had been transplanted into a new body by the Decepticon mad scientist [[Flatline]], and her new form was flanked by two other [[protoform]]s that had recently rejected their experimentation.

[[Image:TalesoftheFallen6-whereishe.jpg|right|thumb|250px|WASSSS A MAAANNN (now three man)]]

Locked into her current position, Arcee looked down to see two other prisoners, [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. Flatline returned to her, and he explained that they were all part of his twisted experiments. He had tried reprogramming Skids and Mudflap, but it left them warped instead. And he stole the spark from Arcee's old body to power what he hoped would be a new Decepticon warrior. Flatline had not considered Arcee's strong will, however, and her original programming persisted. She broke the Twins free and escaped, but was surprised to learn she was in control of the other two discarded bodies as well. Arcee's bodies defeated Flatline, and with the Twins, headed for the exit, but Thundercracker and some Decepticon drones blocked them. Thundercracker laughed, since Arcee hadn't fared too well the last time they tangled, but... that was then.

Thundercracker escaped, and Flatline's headquarters detonated by remote. Arcee wondered whether her weird new existence was a mistake, or if she was merely destined for greater things. Regardless, she refused to become bent on revenge against Thundercracker for the deaths of her crew, so she and the Twins made plans to join the rest of the Autobots. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6}}

A short time later, she, [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]], and the Twins joined [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s [[NEST]]-aligned forces on [[Earth]]. After some training, the new recruits were soon called upon to it into use: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4}}

===Titan Magazines ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comics===

[[Image:Titan5_Sidewayssideswipes.jpg|thumb|right|250px|I'm such good friends that I all dress alike!]]

Arcee had been on Earth for some time before [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] arrived. When using all three of her bodies, she refers to her collective self as "we". Back then, she was keeping her pink paint job!

She went on to assist Optimus Prime in a [[NEST]] mission in [[Australia]], and so was in a perfect position to capture the Decepticon [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. Pursuing him in bike(s) mode, she found it near impossible to blow out his tyres and kept getting sideswiped by him during the pursuit. When a stunned Optimus ordered her to stay on the Decepticon's tail, she responded that the Decepticon's alt mode was far better suited for the terrain... inspiring Optimus to ''blow up'' that terrain.

With Sideways stunned and taking robot form, Arcee sent one bike in to take him down but almost got hit before human military helicopters arrived to back her up. The mission over, she and Optimus took their prisoner back to [[Diego Garcia]], with Arcee escorting him to a cell. But surprise, [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] was waiting to free him! She was quickly stunned and unable to stop the Decepticons escaping. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

[[Image:Titan2-8_dronesurrender.jpg|left|thumb|300px|]]

She later decided it'd be fun to switch back to her older, single-form body! Her old body got a good workout when she was part of the strike team on the Decepticon's [[Mars (planet)|Phobos]] base. After a brief but violent battle, the [[Purple generic drones|drone hordes]] surrendered to her and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

Arcee answered the call from Optimus Prime to join his Autobots on Earth. Her consciousness was split between three motorcycles, all which could transform into individual robots, yet all three together were considered simply "Arcee." Her components also have the ability to recombine into a single robot mode.<ref>The Arcee components combining into one robot mode is not shown in the film, but in all other media.</ref> Under Optimus Prime's command, she was part of the Autobot/human military alliance known as [[NEST]], whose job was to hunt the remaindered Decepticons hiding across the globe.

[[Image:ROTF Sideways Chromia.jpg|right|300px|thumb|You shoot like a girl!]]

Arcee and the rest of NEST were able to trace two Decepticons hidden in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. When one of them, [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], revealed himself, the three components of Arcee were released from a NEST truck trailer. Though Arcee was able to surround Sideways with herself and cover him in firepower, the Decepticon was able to elude her by jumping through a building. Unfortunately for Sideways, Arcee was also accompanied by [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]], who quickly put the Decepticon down.

[[Image:Arcee-ROTFthreebikes.jpg|left|thumb|300px|The [[Chromia (ROTF)|blue one]] likes to sit next to [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] for some reason.]]

While not on missions, Arcee was parked with the other Autobots in their hanger at [[Diego Garcia]]. It was here that the Autobots received word from the [[President of the United States]], via [[Theodore Galloway|Director Galloway]], that the White House was concerned that the Autobots' living on Earth was the reason for the Decepticon activity, and that if need be, they would ask the Autobots to leave. Later, after [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] died in battle and [[The Fallen]] issued an ultimatum to Earth, the US government decided that the Autobots would be shipped back to Diego Garcia.

[[Image:ROTF Arcee shot.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Michael Bay displays his usual attitude towards women.]]
NEST had a different idea, and instead shipped Arcee and the other Autobots to [[Egypt]] on the advice of [[Sam Witwicky]], who had the means to resurrect Optimus Prime. During the climactic battle between NEST and The Fallen's Decepticons, Sam and Mikaela attempted to make their way through the bombed-out Egyptian town that had become the battlefield. Arcee arrived with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to escort them through the warzone, but unfortunately, her purple and pink components were disabled in battle, and only the blue component remained operational when she was last seen. The bodies of the pink and purple Autobot motorcycles were probably destroyed when the US army bombed the area. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

: Arcee's [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature is located in her crossbow weapon (formed out of the seat/storage area of the bike), activated when the projectile (the bike's tailpipe) is inserted, which pushes out the recurved lath parts on the sides of the weapon. The rectangular peg which is supposed to be used to attach her weapon to her forearm in robot mode is sometimes a poor fit, and the weapon may pop off. As an alternative, the round peg by which the weapon is attached in ''vehicle'' mode can also be used in robot mode, with a little rearranging of parts.

: Undocumented in the instructions, the two shoulder-mounted half-wheels contain a small niche on the edge of the tires. By folding the wheels down with the hubcaps pointing towards the chest and turning the tires towards the shoulders, one can feel the wheels gently click into place via the tire niches and hidden tabs in the shoulders, allowing the wheels to remain in place and more closely resemble the figure as pictured on its packaging.

: As with most larger Transformers toys that become motorcycles, Arcee has a kickstand on the left side of the bike; unfortunately, it's mounted so low that she will fall in the opposite direction if it is fully extended.

*'''Arcee''' (Legends, 2010)

:Legends Arcee is a pink and black motorcycle that transforms into a pink and black robot. Black chunks are strategically placed on her two wheels so she can stand up in robot mode. There's an odd jointed piece behind her rear wheel that has a [[Powerlinx]]-like hardpoint that serves no advertised purpose (maybe a combined form like the deluxes).

====Deluxe class toys====
[[Image:ROTF_Deluxe_Chromia.jpg|thumb|300px|Hey, I'm Arcee too, sometimes! Well, actually most times.]]
*'''Chromia''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, display stand

:[[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] converts from a [[wikipedia:Suzuki B-King|Suzuki B-King]] to... a unicycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Chromia's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. There is also a piece on the bottom of the vehicle mode (or back of the robot mode) that folds out, but there is no indication in the instructions as to what this piece is for. However, the piece can slide into a similar piece in the later Arcee toy, starting the supposed combined mode.

:While the instructions depict the motorcycle seat remaining flat so that it ends up covering the bottom wheel, the robot mode more closely resembles the movie design if the seat is folded in and locked into a slot on the motorcycle's bottom, as shown on the back of the packaging. The packaging photo also shows Chromia's front wheel resting behind the robot's shoulders, while the instructions leave it above her head. Furthermore, while it is not mentioned either in the instructions or shown on the box, the stand can be attached backwards and rotated with the guns facing up so that it acts as a prop for the toy, allowing the wheel to actually touch the ground, and letting the toy look from the front like it is unsupported. In addition, the stand can also be attached to right arm as an inordinately large handgun by sliding the two pegs inside the gun into two slots on the inside of the arm.

:The stand has sculpted tank threads on the botom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it.

:Though the instructions do not explain it, the back of the blister card mentions she has a [[Mech Alive]] gimmick in her left arm. While it isn't quite the "spinning gears" the card refers to, swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun.

*'''Arcee''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-23'''
**''Accessories:'' Side-car/display stand

:Deluxe class ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Arcee converts from a [[wikipedia:Ducati 848|Ducati 848]] to a robot mode that can look quite awkward if not properly aligned. The figure has a side-car which can become a Dual Sniper Pistol<ref name="battlebio"/> or a display stand. In robot mode, she is equipped with a small cannon on her right wrist that can deploy a spring-loaded energy blade. Small [[Cyberglyphics]] inscriptions are molded onto the surface of the blade.

:Her [[Mech Alive]] feature is located not in her elbow, as the packaging would suggest, but instead in her chest; tilting her neck up and down causes a pair of exposed gears to turn.

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:ROTF-toy_FAB_CyberPursuitArcee.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]
*'''Cyber Pursuit Arcee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:''
**''Accessories:'' Exhaust/Missile

:A simplified version of ROTF Arcee targeted at the 5 and under demographic. The general paint application is similar to the deluxe version. Besides a working kickstand and free spinning wheels, her gimmicks include the ability to fire her dual exhaust as a single missile both in figure and vehicle mode and a fully working suspension in robot mode. Ironically, due to the transformation locking both wheels in place, the working suspension is not available in vehicle mode. This version does away with the sidecar/stand in favor of a built-in, fully retractable stand. Articulation is limited but better than most figures in the FAB class.

:Due to the design of the shoulder joints and the nature of the transformation, going from robot to vehicle mode can be frustrating.

*'''Autobot Skids / Arcee / Mikaela Banes''' (Human Alliance, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-25'''

:This figure, which is somewhere in between [[Legends Class|Legends]] and [[size class|Scout Class]] size, has a motorcycle mode that is slightly similar to Arcee's Ducati 848, with some elements resembling the Aprilia 125 [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]] is riding at one point in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|movie]], and some elements entirely made up. The robot mode, meanwhile, is clearly that of the blue motorcycle, [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]]. Hasbro explained in their monthly Q&A that it ''is'' meant to resemble Mikaela's bike, and they called it "Arcee" so kids wouldn't be confused by two separate red/pink bikes. <ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=65426 Hasbro December 09 Q&A, AllSpark]</ref>
:Despite being larger than a Legends Class figure, Arcee features less [[articulation]] than most of them. While her right elbow features a swivel joint, the left arm is sculpted in one piece, and the elbow fixed in a permanent position.
:The face, which is mostly unpainted save for a few small details, doesn't resemble ROTF Arcee's movie design at all. In fact, the head design bears some resemblance to [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird]].

*'''Mudflap / Chromia / Seymour Simmons''' (Human Alliance, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-31'''

:Aside from the colour scheme, this "Chromia" is clearly meant to be Arcee as it has the main component's robot mode, and its vehicle mode is closer to Arcee's than either the motorcycle included with Human Alliance Skids or the Deluxe Chromia. Its higher level of movie-accuracy includes a much better head sculpt, and although its left arm is also cast in one piece, the extra articulation in the shoulders, waist and hips makes the figure more posable than the other HA motorcycle.

:The transformation is surprisingly complex and fiddly for a figure this size, not far removed from a scaled-down Deluxe Arcee, although this one has a piece than the wheels can stand on to support them or be rotated behind to prop the figure up with some care. The kickstand is too short to hold the bike upright in vehicle mode, although this is easily fixed by gluing a small piece of black plastic to its base to lengthen it.

The set furthermore includes a redeco of Deluxe class [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], whose painted battle damage evokes the scene in the film where he's been cut in half. Ouchies.

*'''Launchin' Arcee''' free [[Burger King]] toy (2009)
{{charstubtoys}}

==Notes==
[[Image:Movie scale chart.jpg|right|300px|thumb|In the time before time...]]
* As part of [[BotCon 2007]]'s Hasbro tour, fans viewed "Robot Scale Chart v03", dated 11.22.05, which showed Arcee's height as 9' (2.7m). However, all of the designs on this chart were very early and later heavily revised (though [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] was revised far less than the others).

* Arcee was originally going to be a member of the live-action movie's Autobot cast, but was later replaced by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. According to screenwriter [[Roberto Orci]], they would have needed to explain the point behind female robots, which there wasn't any time for in the movie.<ref>[http://movies.ign.com/articles/801/801098p3.html Roberto Orci explaining the reasons for Arcee's removal from the script in an interview with IGN.]</ref> Oddly enough, there was no attempt to do so in ROTF.

* In another interview, Alex Kurtzman cited "scale issues" as an additional reason for dropping Arcee; allegedly, Michael Bay simply considered her too small as compared to the rest of the Autobots.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070714214451/http://www.wizarduniverse.com/movies/transformersmovie/005082421.cfm?page=1 Wizard interview with Kurtzman and Orci]</ref>

* It's commonly assumed that Arcee's big part in the movie would have been the scene in which [[William Lennox]] starts his solo assault on [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] using an abandoned motorcycle. However, the screenwriters rejected that notion, stating that this scene wasn't written until ''after'' Arcee had already been dropped from the script—but if she ''had'' remained in the movie, that scene ''would'' have probably featured her as the motorcycle.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/2288318-post539.html Orci once again clearing up the story between Arcee and the motorcycle Lennox uses during the final battle]</ref>

* Arcee came ''this'' close to being killed off in ''[[The Reign of Starscream]]'', as the trade states that two revisions of the plot had her dying.

[[Image:ROTFConceptArceeCombinerDVD.jpg|thumb|250px|So apparently Chromia and Elita-1 were green and silver at some point? Okay.]]

* It's not especially clear whether ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Arcee is one consciousness controlling three bodies, or three separate individuals. Writer [[Roberto Orci]] explained that she was written as a singular entity, but that [[Michael Bay]] "kept them as individuals", <ref>[http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2009/07/ask-orci-final-edition.html Roberto Orci answers questions on the Transformers Live blogspot, July 13, 2009.]</ref> but if this was Bay's intention, it does not particularly come across in the movie (as the character(s) do(es) not really do ''anything''), beyond perhaps Arcee referring to her components in the plural form in one instance. The novelization of the film adheres to the script's intent, describing Arcee as a "[[tripartite Cybertronian]]", while the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline chose instead to identify Arcee as only ''one'' of the bikes (the pink/red one), and characterize the other two as the separate characters [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] and [[Elita-1 (ROTF)|Elita-1]]. IDW Publishing's ''Tales of the Fallen'' Arcee issue seemed to marry the two concepts, depicting Arcee as a trio of robots animated by one spark, but still possessing some degree of autonomy from one another. [[Titan Books|Titan's]] comics just went with Arcee as having three bodies... then, in the letter's page, had Ironhide himself tell us the girls ''were'' seperate robots who aren't related and Arcee's just the only one namechecked. Then, just to annoy us further, in #16's letters page [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] basically admitted ''nobody knows'' when he said that Arcee's situation is different depending "on who you ask". "Confusing, eh?" It sure is, Barricade.

*The [[bio]] for ''Revenge of the Fallen'''s other motorbike Autobot [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]] seems to refer to Arcee's change in form between the first and second movie toylines, claiming that he wants to undergo the new "combiner retrofit" he's been hearing about, strongly implying that Arcee underwent the same process. The absence of Arcee's combined mode from the film and IDW's own later explanation for her change in form kinda screwed this, though.

[[Image:ROTFAnimaticBikerGroups.jpg|thumb|250px|SIX! SIX BIKE GIRLS! ah ha ha ha *sob*]]

*It was originally intended that the three individual "Arcees" would combine into a singular, larger robot in the film, but Michael Bay chose to drop the idea for fear of the confusion it would cause given how much else was already going on in the film. <ref>[http://www.siggraph.org/s2009/computer_animation_festival/sessions/details/?id=131 Q&A session with ILM effects supervisor Scott Farrar at Siggraph 2009]</ref>. The idea evidently remained until comparatively late in production; both an unknown designer (see above right) and [[Steve Jung]] [http://www.stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=1 created a model] for the combined robot, and it appears in the film's novelization, and the animatic for the Shangai battle scene included on the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' DVD.

*The animatics of the Shanghai battle scene included on the ROTF DVD serve to '''make Arcee more confusing'''. The "Lamborghini Jump" animatic depicts a trio of three female motorcycle Transformers (two red, one either silver or black) chasing Sideways, similar to the scene with Arcee and her compatriots as it appears in the final film. However, as the animatic continues, at least two of the bike-girls jump on Sideways in mid-pursuit, who he manages to throw off and into a building by swerving. Sideways is then confronted by ''another'' trio of bikes (pink, yellow and blue), who merge into a single robot and flip towards him, only to inexplicably disappear immediately afterwards. What the ''hell?''

* For some reason, Arcee's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' body is flipped horizontally between the toy and her actual appearance in the film, with her gun and motorcycle-mode fairing appearing on opposite sides in each representation.

Bonecrusher's [[Bonecrusher (Movie)#Toy Bio|toy]] [[bio]]s also claim he survived and is alive and well on Earth. Of course, it is also very likely the same case that [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] share; two separate Transformers who share the same [[body-type]]. If that's the case then Bonecrusher must hate look-alikes.

Cycle Drone

:''Motorcycle Drones are [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicons]] from the [[Beast Machines (franchise)|Beast Machines]] portion of the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MotorcycleDrone1.JPG|right|180px|thumb|]]
'''Motorcycle Drones''' (also known as '''Cycle Drones''') are the spearhead of [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s Vehicon forces. These deadly [[Spark|sparkless]] drones chase down fugitive [[Maximal|Maximals]] with their astonishing speed and maneuverability, and finish them off with their lethal pulse weapons. While their computerized brains are simple, [[Vehicon general|their general]] [[Thrust (BM)|Thrust]] leads them quite ably. A Cycle Drone's main strength is in numbers; swarming around their targets and confusing them with pulse fire. They use this advantage well, always travelling in large phalanaxes across Cybertron.

==Fiction==
===''Beast Machines'' cartoon===
[[Image:300px-Thrust-Vehicon.jpg|thumb|]]
Motorcycle Drones were used by Megatron in his conquest of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. They were the second type of Vehicons encountered by [[Optimus Primal]]'s Maximals, when a squad of drones chased them into the [[Oracle]] chamber and were defeated by the Maximals' new [[technorganic]] forms. The drones were granted a leader shortly thereafter when Megatron bestowed [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]]'s spark upon a Motorcycle Drone, creating Thrust. Thrust and his drones continued to bedevil the Maximals, most notably when a group of Motorcycle Drones equipped with [[Spark extractor|spark extractors]] felled all of the Maximals save for Primal immediately prior to Cybertron's reformatting.

The drones were sometimes depicted as the same size as Thrust, and sometimes significantly shorter.

==Toys==
*'''Motorcycle Drone''' (Basic, 2001)

:The Motorcycle Drone was released in the last wave of the Beast Machines toyline, as part of the [[Battle for the Spark]] subline. It transforms into a maroon and silver Cybertronic motorcycle, and has both bipedal and wheeled robot modes (the latter of which was featured on the show). It features a missile launcher in the left tailpipe/right arm, activated by pressing on the spark crystal. It hews more closely to the animation model than the Thrust toy released the year before, which may be why it was [[Redeco|redecoed]] as Thrust for release in the Japanese [[Beast Wars Returns]] line several years later.

[[Image:MovieBonecrusher.jpg|right|300px|thumb|''He was a sk8ter boi<br>She said see ya later boy'']]

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

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

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

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

Bonecrusher was surprisingly still alive and was in charge of security at the Decepticon's [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]] holding facility. Although he was happy that he has his arm and head reattached, he hated his job, as he was just a glorified drone director, and not able to kill anything himself. Thus, when he learned that Ironhide and Ratchet were trying to get into the facility, he decided to let the two Autobot infiltrators in, just so he could personally confront and kill them. So he not only disliked his job, he also wasn't very good at it. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} His fists hated on Ironhide's face before Ratchet stepped in, tearing the Decepticon up with offensive weaponry. [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee's]] team arrived to take out the Swindles, leaving Ironhide and Ratchet free to bash up Bonecrusher {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}}; you'd think he would have hated this and wanted it to stop, but when the Autobots got pinned down by [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drone fire, Bonecrusher ''tore apart his own troops'' to reach and kill the Autobots. He fought Ironhide again and this time lost, and may have been blown up with the All Spark. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When they landed, he sucker-punched Optimus Prime, who then hit Bonecrusher so hard one of the Decepticon's [[Sensors#Optical sensors|optics]] popped free from its socket, all the while being observed by a little kid in an SUV, who though the entire experience was ''totally'' cool. The two played a little cat-and-mouse along the overpasses. After Prime jumped down to ground level, Bonecrusher swung his tail wildly at the Autobot, all the while screaming incoherently. This gave Optimus the opportunity he needed to get his [[Dual Energon Swords|sword]] ready... which the Autobot leader used to cleave Bonecrusher's right arm and run through the Decepticon's neck, nearly severing it. Optimus then wrenched Bonecrusher's head from its neck and tossed it aside. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

{{note|Though decapitated, Bonecrusher's remains were not among those that were disposed of in the [[Laurentian Abyss]].}}

===Toy bio===
{{notemoviebio}}

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

He also, during the final battle of the AllSpark, faced of with Jazz in a final battle to the ultimate finish. {{storylink|#Legends Class toys|Autobot Jazz vs. Bonecrusher}}

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

: As part of the ''AllSpark Battles'' refresh of the Movie toyline, a Legends-class [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] with altered [[Paint operation|paint applications]] is repacked in a Versus two-pack with an all-new Legends class figure of Bonecrusher. In Europe, he was packaged individually.

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

: Bonecrusher transforms into a [[wikipedia:Buffalo_(mine_protected_vehicle)|Buffalo mine-protected vehicle]], with an articulated "mine-fork" for removing mines or cars or robots or unsuspecting buildings from his path. The fork can change from its packaged "Grabber claw" configuration into a more fork/shovel like configuration, a fact not stated on the instructions. He has six rolling wheels in this mode, and two sculpted, non-functional spare wheels.

: In robot mode he has elements resembling both his 2005 design and the final design used in the movie, though a major deviation to both designs is that the entire front shell halves of the vehicle mode are mounted upon his arms. His arms have limited articulation due to this [[kibble]], but can extend out into '''really''' long arms. His legs fare better, with ball jointed hips, swivel knees and ankles, but his hips can often detach from the codpiece holding them together. The mine-fork splits to form a grabber-claw, which can snap onto victims with a geared slider [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] mechanism.

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

*'''Deluxe three-pack''' (Sam's Club exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

:This Sam's Club exclusive three-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe Class Bonecrusher together with equally unchanged Deluxe Class [[Brawl (Movie)|Decepticon Brawl]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Autobot Jazz]] toys. It also comes with a nifty poster depicting all three toys in a standoff scene. Not so nifty is that the box accidentally places Brawl and Bonecrusher's bios underneath each other.

: Finally, the big guy gets a [[redeco]], in deep forest green and olive green, as part of the "All Spark Power" refresh line. It's not easy being green, and he hates that. He also hates redecos, slavish or not. He also hates quality control, and [[Fandom|fans]] who complain that the claw arm now has a habit of popping off with little force, while the original did not. Reviewer [[Ben Yee|Benson Yee]] pointed out that this interferes with the automorph trick, as the arm can now pop off while sliding that lever. It's obvious by now how he feels about Ben Yee, [[Swivel joint|swivel joints]], quality control, [[Hot Shot (Armada)|cars addicted to]] [[JaAm]], sore shoulders (& possibly his own shoulders as well), [[Ball joint|ball joints]], JaAm, etc...

==Notes==
[[Image:PhotoshopedBuffalo.PNG|right|250px|thumb|*Giant fork and Decepticon insignia not included with the real Buffalo.* Bonecrusher hates those disclaimers.]]
* The real Buffalo mine-sweeping vehicle doesn't have such a huge fork. It is only 14 inches (35 cm) wide. The image that inspired Bonecrusher's design was actually a Photoshopped image put on the official Force Protection company's site to make it look more impressive[http://www.forceprotection.net/models/buffalo/]. A 10-foot-wide (3 m) appliance had to be fixed on Bonecrusher's arm for the movie.

* Force Protection really loves Bonecrusher and the fact that he has picked their Buffalo as its alt mode. They are actually quite proud of it.[http://www.forceprotection.net/news/transformers.html]

* Bonecrusher's toy was used as a prop for a CNN Headline News report demonstrating the real Buffalo vehicle's mine-sweeping arm.[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maAWP2uVd7M]

* According to a press kit sent out in conjunction with the movie, Bonecrusher is, "another [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]" who "forms [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl's]] left arm".[http://numberonestars.com/transformers/production/decepticons.htm] Thus far, there have been no reports of people using Bonecrusher as one of Brawl's arms, left or otherwise.

* At various points during his fight with Optimus Prime, Bonecrusher emits some garbled roars that ''might'' be English. However, there is little agreement among viewers as to what he might be saying, and indeed, whether he even said anything at all. The subtitles and closed captions for the film do not identify any dialogue, just labeling it as "roaring" (Someone should really ask Jimmie Wood.) Considering the large amount of untranslated Cybertronic gibberish emitted by various Decepticons during the sequel ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', it seems most likely that Bonecrusher isn't intended to be saying anything comprehensible to human ears.

* Bonecrusher is [[Michael Bay]]'s favorite character from the film, despite his limited screentime —so much so that Bay named [[Bonecrusher (dog)|his new dog]] after him. Bonecrusher still hates Bay for the small screen time he gets though.

* Bonecrusher is never discussed or mentioned in ''[[Transformers: The Movie Guide]]''.

* In one of [[Hasbro Q&A|Hasbro's bimonthly Q & As]], it was revealed that in retrospect, Hasbro thinks a Voyager-class figure would have been a better fit for the figure than the Deluxe.

* According to the DVD commentary, Bonecrusher's sequences were particularly difficult for [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] to do at first. The solution came from videotaping employees rollerblading in the parking lot, and a pair of fighting experts going through the motions wanted for Bonecrusher and Prime, then using that footage as references.

* Bonecrusher's movements seem to be heavily inspired by several types of sports including hockey (his running movements) and American football (his tackling on Optimus Prime).

* Last but not least, Bonecrusher hates ''you''. Yeah, you. You know who you are. Don't try to pretend you don't know, either. Bonecrusher hates ignorance. And apples.

Vehicon (BM)

Barricade123: /* Drone types */

{{factions|vehicon}}
{{disambig2|the faction from ''Beast Machines''|the planet from ''Robot Masters''|Vehicon (planet)}}
:''The Vehicons are a faction from the [[Beast Machines (franchise)|Beast Machines]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

[[Image:Vehicon symbol.png|right|300px|thumb|Mindless. Obedient. Radioactive.]]
The '''Vehicons''' are [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s personal army, a legion of military Transformers that allowed him to conquer planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and protect his one-robot empire from all threats. They pack lots of firepower and travel and attack ''en masse''.

The overwhelming majority of Vehicons are unliving drones with no innate sentience or [[spark]]. Each Vehicon drone is usually controlled either directly by Megatron, or by a single sentient [[Vehicon general]] of the same (or similar) design. After the loss of [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]] and [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]], their respective drones are apparently controlled by other generals.

Vehicon drones are generally blindly obedient, with no sense of self-preservation. On rare occasions, various drones have appeared to use emotive body language, [[In Darkest Knight|shaking in apparent fear]] or [[Endgame Pt. I: The Downward Spiral|pleading (wordlessly) not to be shot]]. On one occasion a [[Tank Drone]] was seen to [[The Weak Component|vocalize with Tankor's voice]].

[[Image:Vehicons Fires of The Past.JPG|left|200px|thumb|This time, Tron isn't taking any prisoners!]]
The Vehicons first appeared on Cybertron in the wake of the virus that devastated the planet's population. {{storylink|Forbidden Fruit}} Megatron created factories to recycle the discarded body shells of captured Transformers into more Vehicons; {{storylink|Revelations Part I: Discovery}} in this way, his army fed on its own success. Soon the planet was cleared of all Transformers except for Vehicons, who then patrolled its empty streets and skies.

The drones attacked Optimus Primal's crew of Maximals when they crash-landed on the conquered planet, disabling them with gas canisters containing a [[transformation virus]]. {{storylink|Revelations Part II: Descent}} and continued to harass them in the wake of the Maximals' reformatting. {{storylink|The Reformatting}} When this failed to destroy the techorganic Maximals, Megatron commissioned his first three Vehicon generals to oppose his old foes. {{storylink|Fires of the Past}}

Even the three generals would ultimately prove ineffective against the Maximals. Tankor eventually betrayed Megatron and was destroyed. {{storylink|End of the Line}} Jetstorm was reformatted by the Maximals, and reverted to his original Silverbolt persona. {{storylink|In Darkest Knight}} Thrust, by contrast, remained loyal to the end.

With his initial plan having met with failure, Megatron summoned up two more generals, and two new drone types as well. {{storylink|Sparkwar Pt. I: The Strike}} They did well, but Cheetor didn't like them so he shot 'em into space. {{storylink|Endgame Pt. II: When Legends Fall}}

It is not known what became of the Vehicon drones after the war against Megatron ended; however, it is not unreasonable to guess that they were reformatted into technorganic form along with the planet Cybertron itself, providing bodies for the newly-liberated sparks of Cybertron's population. {{storylink|Endgame Pt.

They were the first new fully-vehicular Transformer toys since the end of ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' in 1995, and the first to explore a Cybertronian aesthetic since Generation 1. Their vehicle forms are futuristic and military-themed. Most have a vehicle mode "head" analogue, allowing their vehicle form to look around. As robots, they sport unusually alien stylings and proportions. Some also sport unusual forms of locomotion, including legless hover modes and unicycle wheel bases. Most have a [[spark crystal]] located somewhere on their body.

[[Image:Tf2007console shockwave.jpg|right|300px|thumb|1% assorted Shockwave parts, 99% weapons.]]
The massive '''Shockwave''' might ''look'' like he's purely about muscle and firepower, but he's actually remarkably shrewd and cunning. Coveting the position of Decepticon leader for himself, Shockwave has been working to oust [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] for years. As you might imagine, he and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] don't get along very well.

==Fiction==

[[Image:MovieShockwaveUnknown.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Declaration: check out my pecs!]]
Under the orders of Starscream, Shockwave attacked [[Tranquility]] in an effort to interfere with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s attempt to rescue [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] from [[Sector Seven]]. Prime actually had a grip on the helicopter net that held Bumblebee, but the force of Shockwave's entry mode's impact knocked him off, allowing Sector Seven to get away.

[[Image:Tf2007console shockwave turrent.jpg|200px|thumb|Death Cannon OF LOGIC!]]
Landing in downtown, the [[Triple Changer|triple-changing]] Shockwave adopted a helicopter and an artillery emplacement as his alternate modes, promptly transforming into the latter and lobbing explosives around the city. Prime, forced to cut off his rescue, charged in and pounded Shockwave until the goliath transformed and retreated to another position. Prime doggedly kept at Shockwave, following him every time he retreated, eventually defeating the Decepticon and saving Tranquility. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game (console)}}

Later, when the Autobots returned to Cybertron, Shockwave appeared on the planet alongside (and presumably leading) an army of Decepticon drones. Optimus quickly defeated the drones and once more defeated Shockwave.

{{note|Shockwave is not a playable character in the game, appearing only as a boss character during the Autobot campaign. He also appears (but does not transform) as one of the enemies battled in the Autobot campaign's bonus level set on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], but what this implies about Shocky is debatable at best, given the level's questionable in-game continuity.}}

===''Transformers: The Game'' (PSP)===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Daniel Riordan]]

[[Image:Shockwave movie psp.jpg|left|170px|thumb|He makes up for his loss of weapons by being the most awesome character in the game.]]
When the Decepticons arrived on Earth in search of their lost leader, Megatron, Shockwave adopted a tank as his alternate mode. Shockwave was supposed to join [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] in his attack on the [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]], but instead busied himself surrepticiously searching for leads to the location of the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]]. After receiving a communique from [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]], who informed him that the Autobots were on Earth and had discovered their own leads to the location of Megatron, Shockwave had [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] airlift him to Qatar, where he helped Blackout take care of the last few military units opposing him. He relayed Frenzy's message to Blackout, then departed for the Arctic with Thundercracker, intending to investigate the site where Megatron's body was discovered.

In the Arctic, Shockwave and Thundercracker faced resistance from an Autobot unit in the area, but fought their way through them to discover that Megatron's body had been moved by [[Sector Seven]]. The trip was not a wasted one, however: after scanning a computer terminal in the cavern, Shockwave discovered that Megatron had brought an army of drones with him to Earth to help in the search for the All Spark. These drones were presently lying dormant all over the Earth, and Shockwave schemed to reactivate them so that they could serve him as his personal army. The signal required to reanimated the drones had to be broadcast from a great height, so Shockwave and Thundercracker quickly made their way to a rocket launch site, where Shockwave
programmed the code into a rocket that subsequently beamed the signal down over the Earth from space. Drones sprang to life all over the planet, and began attacking the Autobots. Shockwave's control of his
self-made army was short lived, however, as Autobots [[Trailbreaker (Movie)|Trailbreaker]] and [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] successfully transmitted a virus that shut the drones down. Simultaneously, Shockwave received another message from Frenzy that the he had discovered the location of Megatron, and that the Decepticon leader was about to reawaken.

After the Autobots defeated Megatron and most of the other Decepticons in battle in [[Center City]], Shockwave retreated back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], as did Starscream. Back on their homeworld, Shockwave and Starscream faced off for leadership of the Decepticons, with Starscream ultimately claiming victory. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (PSP)|Transformers The Game (PSP)}}

{{note|In contrast to the console version of the game, Shockwave ''is'' a playable character on the PSP.}}

===Autobot Stronghold===

Shockwave was used as the basis for an army of [[drone]] units, who were part of the constant attacks on the Autobot's [[LG]] Stronghold. For some reason, these drones had ''two'' Sparks. {{storylink|Autobot Stronghold}}

*''Transformers The Game'' Shockwave was designed by artist [[Ken Christiansen]]

: ''R2-D2 is a [[droid]] from the [[Star Wars]].''

'''R2-D2''' is a plucky little Astromech droid from a galaxy far, far away. He is an ally to the Rebel Alliance, and the [[Darth_Vader|Skywalker]] [[Luke_Skywalker|family]] as well. He also has the tendency to pop up in the most unexpected places...

*'''Luke Skywalker X-wing Fighter''' (2006)
**''Accessories:'' 4 missiles, lightsaber, Luke Skywalker figure

:Luke Skywalker's mech can transform from an X-Wing starfighter into a robot crafted in his likeness. The placement of the cockpit in robot mode gives it a see-through chest in which the small pilot figure can sit. Due to the transformation scheme, the arms have a good deal of articulation, including rotating wrists. The shoulders, however, can only rotate backward, making some poses difficult (lightsaber duels are out of the question). The legs are attached to a ball joint and the hips may be raised or lowered. The X-Wing has pressure-launch missile launchers located on the end of each wing, and a lightsaber that can clip onto the robot's belt or be held in its hands.
