<p>Blastertronus: /* Live-action film series */</p> <hr /> <div>[[File:Headmasters Peru map.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]<br /> <br /> '''Peru''' is a nation in [[South America]]. Historically, it has been home to the Incaic Empire. Its cities include [[Abancy]], [[Cuzco]], [[Ica]], [[La Oroya]], [[Nazca]], and [[Pucallpa]].<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===<br /> ====''The Transformers'' cartoon====<br /> {{storylink|Fire on the Mountain (episode)|Fire on the Mountain}}<br /> {{locationstub}}<br /> <br /> ====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====<br /> {{storylink|The Dormant Volcano Mysteriously Erupts}}<br /> <br /> ====''Super-God Masterforce'' cartoon====<br /> The [[Decepticon]] [[Pretender]] [[Dauros]] was imprisoned underneath the [[Nazca Lines]] a good number of centuries ago. He was freed by [[Devil Z]] sometime between 2011 and 2025. {{storylink|Terror! The Decepticons' Manhunt}}<br /> <br /> ===Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics===<br /> {{noteukexclusive|Peru}}<br /> ''[[Susan Hoffman]] led an exhibition seeking out the [[Juluth]] tribe's shrine to [[Myaz]] for the [[Heritage Society]], which instead ran into giant robots. ''Again.'' It turned out [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream's corpse]], controlled by the [[Underbase]], had been stomping around the area, and the Juluth mistook him for Myaz incarnate.'' {{storylink|Race with the Devil}}<br /> <br /> ===Kid Stuff Talking Story Books continuity===<br /> Desiring the [[oil]] underneath the jungles of South America, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] boarded the [[turbine mole machine]] and headed through the [[Pacific Ocean]] to the coast of Peru. The first tunnel they drilled was badly planned, and it collapsed, taking with it the part of the [[Andes Mountains]] that held [[Machu Picchu]]. This miscalculation tipped off the [[Autobot]]s of the whereabouts of the two [[Decepticon]]s and they attacked. Supposedly, Megatron and Soundwave escaped them and completed their network of tunnels, allowing water from the Pacific Ocean to force the oil to the surface for the Decepticons to collect. As the oil swallowed a large portion of the Peruvian jungle and made the wildlife and people flee, the Decepticons destroyed the lowest geographical point of the jungle with their [[Decepticon defoliator craft]] to create a suitable basin for the oil. Their work went mostly unrewarded, though, as the Decepticons could only collect a little oil before the Autobots attacked and forced them to retreat. It is unknown if anything could be done about the heavily polluted jungle. {{storylink|Storms of Destruction}}<br /> <br /> ===Live-action film series===<br /> ====''The Veiled Threat''====<br /> Decepticon activity was detected in Peru, so [[NEST]] dispatched a team including [[Robert Epps]], [[Petr Andronov]], [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]], and [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knockout]] there to investigate. After arriving in [[Cuzco]] and rendezvousing with local NEST technical adjunct [[Pierre Morales]], the team ventured into the Andes Mountains. There they encountered the Decepticons [[Ruination (ROTF)|Ruination]] and [[Blademaster]], and got the better of their foe. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}<br /> <br /> ====Titan movie comics====<br /> {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.17|The Kingdom of Starscream}}<br /> <br /> <br /> ====''Rise of the Beasts'' film====<br /> {{comingsoon|when=June 9, 2023}}<br /> {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *{{w|Peru}} at Wikipedia<br /> <br /> [[Category:Generation 1 cartoon locations]]<br /> [[Category:Generation 1 countries]]<br /> [[Category:Marvel Generation 1 locations]]<br /> [[Category:Real-world countries]]<br /> [[Category:Revenge of the Fallen locations]]<br /> [[Category:South American countries]]<br /> [[Category:Super-God Masterforce locations]]<br /> [[Category:The Headmasters locations]]</div>

From his throne in [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]], there are none in [[Polyhex]] who do not feel his crushing influence. Straxus's word is law, unbound by reason or facts, and can and will change from thought to thought. Do not try to appeal to his sense of pity; he has none. <br /> <br /> A brutal powerhouse, he is more than able to enforce his policies, usually with a deadly blow from his battle axe. So terrible is Straxus that even [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] gives the dictator his space, allowing the small-minded tyrant to terrorize his corner of the globe. Megatron may have designs on the galaxy, but in Polyhex, Straxus rules.<br /> <br /> {{quote|'''Mercy''' is not dispensed here, fools... only '''death!'''|Straxus|&quot;[[The Smelting Pool!]]&quot;}}<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===Marvel Comics continuity===<br /> ====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====<br /> {{noteukonly}}<br /> [[File:Straxusholdscourt.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|He's got a metal palm tree and he's not afraid to use it!]]<br /> ''Following the assassination of the Decepticon warlord [[Trannis]] by the [[Autobot]] commando unit, the [[Wreckers]], Straxus assumed his position as [[Decepticon leader]] on Cybertron.'' {{storylink|Cybertron: The Middle Years!}}<br /> <br /> Straxus would oversee a horrifically brutal reign, having his men hunt down [[neutral]]s, Autobots, and [[empty|the destitute]] so they could be melted down in [[smelting pool]]s and their metal reused by the Decepticons. Even other Decepticons weren't safe from his brutality, with him battering his own Executive Officer [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]] when he was in a mood.<br /> <br /> When a Decepticon transmission beamed from the planet [[Earth]] circa the Earth year [[1985]] reached Cybertron, Straxus immediately arranged for the capture of the scientist [[Spanner (G1)|Spanner]] so that a [[space bridge]] between the worlds could be constructed. Attempting to locate Spanner, the Autobot spy [[Scrounge (G1)|Scrounge]] learned of this plot, but was captured by [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]] and brought before Straxus, who maliciously destroyed his unique recording-device arm before consigning him to death in the [[smelting pool]]s. In turn, [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] came searching for Scrounge (against orders), was captured and brought before Straxus, and sentenced to the pools. There he discovered the dying Scrounge, was given the information he had acquired, and escaped with the aid of his Autobot friends who had come looking for him (against orders). {{storylink|The Smelting Pool!}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Straxusaltmode.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Yeah, but where does the axe go?]]The space bridge was subsequently completed, but its earliest tests reduced Straxus to rage when a malfunction caused the death of [[Crosscut (Decepticon)|Crosscut]], and he sent [[Crosscut's successor|another unfortunate]] to instant death in an attempt to figure out what had gone wrong. In an act of petty brutality, he threatened Shrapnel that he better sort the problem out soon because ''he'' was going to be sent to clear the rubbish off the Bridge! As the tests went on, an Autobot raiding party planted explosives within Darkmount, destroying it, and sending an enraged Straxus after their heads. With the bridge unattended, Blaster intended to destroy it with [[fission bomb]]s, but was confronted by Straxus in a one-on-one duel before he could detonate them. Crippling Blaster with his axe, Straxus was duped into accidentally severing the bridge's fuel line, destabilizing its teleporting arch, through which Blaster then kicked Straxus, destroying him. {{storylink|The Bridge to Nowhere!}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Straxushead.jpg|left|thumb|Teletraan I, Rita's escaped, recruit a team of teenagers with attitude...no, er wait...]]<br /> ''However, while Straxus's body was reduced to ash, his head was salvaged and placed in a life-support pod that allowed him to continue on in his position as leader.'' {{storylink|...The Harder They Die!}} ''Soon after, when [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] arrived on Cybertron, Straxus immediately set in motion a scheme to restore himself to life, calmly following Megatron's directions to hunt down [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]], who had arrived on the planet with him. ''{{storylink|Under Fire!}} {{storylink|Distant Thunder!}} ''After Prime carried out [[Decepticon fuel store|several successful raids]] alongside the Wreckers, Megatron began to grow more and more unstable, and Straxus more and more impatient with his deranged houseguest. Despite the warnings of his technicians as to the &quot;unpredictability&quot; of the machinery involved, Straxus made the final step, activating a device that would exchange his and Megatron's minds, giving him a body once more. Megatron resisted the transfer, however, destroying Straxus's head, and leaving the two minds within Megatron's body, fighting for dominance, each one in control at a different moment. The other Decepticons, in particular [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]], soon noticed their leader's problems and began to scheme about how to handle it. When in battle with Prime and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]], Megatron prepared to unleash his destructive [[antimatter]] powers; in order to save the [[Polyhex Decepticon stronghold]], Ratbat activated the space bridge, teleporting the three Transformers back to [[Earth]].'' {{storylink|Resurrection!}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Maulers mauled.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|This story is full of awesome Megatron moments and Straxus retroactively stole them all. He ''is'' evil!]]<br /> ''Before this could occur, having failed to oust Megatron's mind, Straxus activated his contingency plan, &quot;[[Project Re-Birth]],&quot; and his consciousness fled into a body he had specially prepared—a duplicate of Megatron created from a &quot;[[Archforce|hapless trooper]]&quot;, complete with a copy of his brain patterns, beneath which Straxus's personality lay dormant. '' {{storylink|Two Megatrons!}}'' Upon hearing of the true Megatron's seeming death aboard the space bridge a short time later, the project technicians activated the clone, sending it to the sewers beneath [[London]] where it came into conflict with a small group of Autobots, [[Action Force (team)|Action Force]] and [[Centurion (Marvel)|Centurion]]. Straxus's mind had yet to take over the clone at this point, and it genuinely believed itself to be the true Megatron, but it was soon dealt with when an oil tank explosion sent it and Centurion tumbling into the [[Thames|River Thames]].'' {{storylink|Ancient Relics!}}<br /> <br /> ''Some time later, seeking a weapon to use against the deranged future Decepticon [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]] recovered the Megatron clone, also believing it to be the genuine article, only to find that &quot;Megatron&quot;'s mind had retreated into itself. Shockwave subjected the clone to the [[psycho-probe]], intending to force &quot;Megatron&quot; to face his fears—but instead, Straxus emerged, intending to fight Megatron's fears for him and finally take control of the body. Megatron fought back, however, ripping the mental image of Straxus to pieces and finally taking over their shared mind.'' {{storylink|Salvage!}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Megatron wreckers time wars.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67|&quot;NOW, WITNESS THE '''MOST POWERFUL SQUAT OF ALL TIME!'''&quot;]]<br /> ''After being thoroughly reprogrammed by Shockwave, this Megatron killed [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] in a test run'' {{storylink|Dry Run!}} ''and then proceeded to battle Galvatron. He ceased his attack after hearing from the future Decepticon that: a) Starscream would throw him out a ship in 2006, and b) Galvatron would kill him. Amused and seeing the two had a lot in common, Megatron agreed to join him.'' {{storylink|Altered Image!}} ''He helped Galvatron battle Autobots of the present and future in the &quot;[[Time Wars]]&quot;, massacring Wreckers and the [[Mayhem Attack Squad]], but was soon put off by the growing madness and pointless destruction that his ally was causing. The Megatron clone opted instead to [[Decepticon heavy transport|return]] to Cybertron.'' {{storylink|Time Wars}}<br /> <br /> ''He was taken aback to find his homeworld so different from what he remembered it as; Autobots were wandering about, unafraid and undisturbed by the planet's Decepticon presence, even in [[Helex (polity)|Helex]], the Decepticon capital. Vowing to retake control of Cybertron, Megatron quickly dispatched a would-be Autobot assassin and sought out those responsible for the Decepticons' sorry state. He discovered that their current commanders, [[Legonis]], [[Octus (G1)|Octus]] and [[Seizer]], were leading an idle life, enjoying gladiatorial battles while lounging about and drinking high-grade oil. The [[Triumvirate]] nearly goaded Megatron into attacking them in order to have their troops kill him in retaliation, but Megatron saw through their ruse. Growing desperate to rid themselves of the challenger, Seizer shoved Megatron down in the arena to have his gladiators deal with him, but once more Megatron retained his cool. With an eloquent speech, pointing out how far the Decepticons had fallen from their former glory, Megatron effortlessly dethroned the decadent ruling trio by turning their soldiers against them. The Triumvate was destroyed, and Megatron took control of the Decepticons on the planet once more... ruling confident in the knowledge he'd become Galvatron, and ''this'' time he'd do things ''right''!'' {{storylink|The Fall and Rise of the Decepticon Empire.}} <br /> <br /> [[File:TFUK TwoMegatrons Suicide.JPG|upright=0.85|thumb|No, no! Aim away from the face!]]<br /> ''Soon, however, he began to suffer from nightmarish visions of the lives lived by both the trooper whose body became his, and of Straxus, just as the true Megatron—having recovered his memories after a period of wandering amensia in the [[Dead End (place)|Dead End]]—attacked his base.'' {{storylink|Mind Games (G1)|Mind Games}}'' The two Megatrons battled, with the true one revealed the clone's nature to him, and all at once, everything made sense to the clone. Along with this revelation, another immediately arose—Straxus's mental defeat was a sham, and he had been dwelling within the clone's mind all along, steadily growing in power as the clone weakened. Straxus made one final attempt to seize control of their mind, and the clone committed suicide, blowing his own head off with his [[fusion cannon]], rather than allow Straxus to win.'' {{storylink|Two Megatrons!}}<br /> <br /> ''It is possible that in the original un-altered pre-Time Wars timeline, the Straxus-Megatron clone may have been the Megatron transformed into Galvatron, but the shifting nature of the timelines makes this open to debate at best.''<br /> <br /> ''All very simple, isn't it?''<br /> <br /> {{note|The true nature of the Megatron clone was not revealed until the story which depicted his death. This was because, for all of the clone's other stories, he was regarded by characters, readers and writer [[Simon Furman]] as actually being the ''real'' Megatron, having survived his supposed death in the US comics. The US comics, however, continued to treat Megatron as pushing up daisies, so when Simon Furman took over writing that title and penned Megatron's return, he needed an explanation that would reconcile Megatron's continual appearances in the UK title with his lack of activity in the US. Relegating the Megatron of the UK comics to a clone was that explanation, revealed in UK-exclusive strips which ran concurrently with the reprints of Megatron's US return.}}<br /> <br /> =====Trigger-Happy!=====<br /> [[File:Trigger-happy MegatronScoop.jpg|left|upright=1.2|thumb]]<br /> The madness that had gripped the Megatron clone for so long began to subside, as the full ramifications of meeting his future self dawned on him. Foreknowledge that he would one day become Galvatron emboldened Megatron, and left him believing that he was invincible until such events came to pass. He still had to contend with [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]]'s rogue faction however, though an opportunity to gain an upper hand against his rival soon presented itself. Megatron received word from [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]] and [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]] that they had acquired battle plans drafted by Scorponok, and set up a meeting to receive the documents. Though the messengers were nearly intercepted by an Autobot ambush, they evaded capture thanks to [[Backstreet (G1)|Backstreet]] botching the sting. Afterwards, Megatron learned that Backstreet had gone on the run from Autobot justice, and saw an opportunity to capitalize on the situation. Backstreet had accidentally endangered several humans before fleeing, and Megatron plotted to make the fugitive into a pariah; through him, humans might be led to believe that all Autobots meant them harm. Megatron would turn the locals against Optimus's forces, and eliminate them too once the Autobots had fallen. An altercation between Backstreet and a [[United States Army|human military convoy]] only served to further Megatron's goals.<br /> <br /> It was [[Spinister (G1)|Spinister]] who eventually tracked down Backstreet, then squatting in an [[Riverway Fun Park|abandoned amusement park]]. Megatron ordered his troops to stand back so that he might approach Backstreet himself and &quot;recruit&quot; him to the Decepticons, but upon his arrival, Megatron found that both [[Scoop (G1)#Trigger-Happy!|Scoop]] and Spinister had disregarded his orders and were in the process of roughing up the Autobot. Outraged, Megatron tossed aside both his minions and ordered them away. Then, in his best attempt to appear sincere, Megatron extended a hand in friendship towards Backstreet, promising him protection and a privileged position in the Decepticon hierarchy. Despite Megatron's best efforts, Backstreet saw through his charade, and turned down the offer. Abandoning all attempts at subtlety, Megatron readied to strike Backstreet dead when Optimus Prime barged in on the scene. <br /> <br /> Megatron ordered his troops to remain in position, declaring the honor of killing Prime to be his alone. He nearly succeeded in his attempt too, only for Backstreet to regain his senses upon hearing that his commander was willing to take him back despite his past mistakes. Megatron was knocked out by a blast from Backstreet's [[proton missile cannon]]s, and only regained consciousness in time to see the Autobots slipping away. {{storylink|Trigger-Happy!}}<br /> <br /> =====Marvel UK future timelines=====<br /> The Megatron clone would terrify a young Hot Rod in [[1990]] by willingly risking the lives of loyal Decepticons to flush out a [[Warmonger|double-agent]], and then muse it would've been easier to just murder everyone. Later, he would wage a [[Decepticon Civil War]] against [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]] and Scorponok. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}} <br /> <br /> He then become Galvatron by [[2006]] and, by not fleeing to Earth's past, conquered Cybertron! Well, it seems to be him, it's very confusing. If it was him, he then got stepped on by [[Unicron]] in [[2010]]. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}<br /> <br /> ====Marvel ''Generation 2'' comic====<br /> [[File:WarWithoutEnd-Straxus.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|His weapon gets less threatening with each appearance.]]<br /> [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] referred to Straxus as one of the petty, small-minded dictators he left in charge of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] when he left to start the [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]]. {{storylink|War Without End!}}<br /> <br /> ====''Classics''====<br /> Straxus was given the authority over Darkmount when [[Overlord (G1)|Gigatron]] forfeited his throne. {{storylink|Overlord (G1)#Timelines|BotCon 2012 Gigatron profile card}} <br /> <br /> Decades after the death of Straxus, Blaster would tell of the evil Straxus to [[Primax -408.24 Epsilon|a mirror universe]]'s [[Straxus (SG)|good Straxus]]. {{storylink|Falling into Place}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====''Transformers '84''====<br /> [[File:SecretsAndLies2 StraxusCounterpunch.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|''Sud-den-lyyyyyyyyyy, life has new meaning... to meeeee...'']]<br /> Though an object of disdain in Megatron's optics, Straxus was promoted to Regional Liege and given command of Darkmount by [[Punch (G1)|Counterpunch]] as part of Shockwave's schemes. In exchange for this however, Shockwave expected Straxus to lead an assault on Iacon so the data Perceptor had uncovered about Shockwave's schemes would go unnoticed. After gushing over the smelting pool, Straxus agreed. The assault on Iacon was launched and Straxus ordered his troops to secure lots of prisoners to test out his new pool. {{storylink|Secrets &amp; Lies issue 2|Secrets &amp; Lies #2}}<br /> <br /> While Shockwave had intended for Straxus to be nothing more than a seat warmer, the new Regional Liege quickly established himself as a military force to be reckoned with, even as his annexing of contested territories rubbed [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] and [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]] the wrong way. After an unproductive meeting with his colleagues, Straxus went to relax by the smelting pit. Speaking with Counterpunch once again, Straxus became convinced that he was now [[Decepticon leader]], giving the spy access to whatever resources he needed to reactivate [[Project Dreadnought]]. {{storylink|Secrets &amp; Lies issue 3|Secrets &amp; Lies #3}}<br /> <br /> As the scientific division worked, Straxus posted [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] to defend Dreadnought's hub but even with the [[combiner]]'s might, the [[Wreckers]] managed to scuttle the project. Straxus later received a distress call from the [[Conehead]]s stranded on prehistoric [[Earth]] with the lost crews of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and the [[Nemesis (G1)|''Nemesis'']]. Straxus made them a deal; he'd send rescue and give them high-ranking positions in his regime IF they remained mum on the location and left Megatron and co. in stasis. Faced with the alternative of Straxus promising to hunt them down and kill them, the trio of Decepticons eagerly accepted. {{storylink|Secrets &amp; Lies issue 4|Secrets &amp; Lies #4}} <br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity===<br /> ====''United EX''====<br /> [[File:UnitedEX2 blazing alps.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|&quot;GAH!

Straxus somehow acquired a rebuilt and comatose [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Megatron]], who he attempted to brainwash with his technology. When the Decepticon Emperor resisted, Straxus noted that more of such would crumble Megatron's &quot;diabolical nature&quot;.

Seeking an end to the rest of the Vanguard and Primus's ambitions, the Straxuses joined forces with Megatron Omega, and the three left the Blue Planet. Soon reaching the [[Purple Planet]], they met with [[Purple Wicked Convoy]], who proposed an alliance. {{storylink|God Neptune comic 1}} Together, the Straxuses, Pruple, Megatron Omega, and a Rollermaster confronted [[God Neptune]], who had already pilfered the other orders' matrices while they were occupied with Purple. Chief Straxus attempted a swing at the combiner with the Matrix Sword, but God Neptune simply shrugged it off and replied with a powerful swing from the [[Matrix Saber]] that sent the traitor flying. The Matrix Sword, however, revealed itself to be the resting place of Blue's spirit, who attempted to turn the tide against God Neptune before dissipating. The combiner was taken care of by Megatron Omega, however, and the stolen matrices became the Decepticon's spoils. He began to use the [[Silver Matrix]] to absorb the [[Star Power]] from the other matrices, to the Straxuses' delight, but joy turned to horror when [[Halfshell]] bisected Megatron with the [[Neptune Sword]].

When the defeated Convoy was teleported away, the head Straxus believed his spirit was crushed and considered the problem solved, but the other Straxus was determined to hunt him down. {{storylink|Cybertron Magna Convoy prequel comic}} He and his [[Rollermaster Corps]] pursued Magna Convoy to a planet's surface and battled him again, but Convoy had found new resolve in his mission to protect Convobat and was able to call upon the Matrix Sword's power to defeat Straxus.

Leaving his studies behind, Straxxus became the Senator of [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]], running the province as an independent state and had never bothered to attend a [[Senate]] meeting.<br /> <br /> In the era of the [[Decepticon]]s, Straxxus began to fear the increasing geological activity that began plaguing Cybertron, his calculations leading him to consider that Cybertron might literally shake itself apart. To evacuate his citizens, Straxxus brought one of the old ''Ark''-class vessels docked in Darkmount and had it restored to operational capacity while transmitting his geological data to [[Crystal City]] for further analysis. {{storylink|Escape Part Two}} Needing a way to enact a mass exodus of refugees off Cybertron to escape the Decepticon threat, the Autobots decided to petition Straxxus for use of his ships. {{storylink|Escape Part One}} When Highbrow called about the ''Ark''&lt;nowiki&gt;s&lt;/nowiki&gt;, Straxxus was more interested in discussing his geological findings with [[Geomotus]], but he ultimately promised the vessels to Highbrow. {{storylink|Escape Part Two}}<br /> <br /> To properly evacuate Darkmount, Straxxus found that he would need two and a half of the cargo capacities of the ''Ark''s. As repairs on the ships began, the stardrive of the fourth exploded, delaying its launch. {{storylink|Escape Part Four}} When [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]'s convoy of refugees arrived at Darkmount, Straxxus barred them for a time. {{storylink|Escape Part Three}}<br /> <br /> When three of the four ships were nearing launch capacity, Straxxus invited Wheeljack, Highbrow and [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]] within his city and revealed that he would need three of the ships, while issuing another warning about the impending tectonic disasters. {{storylink|Escape Part Four}}<br /> <br /> As loading continued, the [[Insecticon swarm]] attacked. Convinced that this was the best time to launch, Straxxus sealed the city's gates and set off with two ships. Unaware that the Insecticons were drawn to the largest concentrations of energon however, the second ''Ark'', loaded with colonization supplies, was targeted by the clones who ate through to its fuel lines and caused it to detonate. Straxxus subsequently led the majority of his people off Cybertron and to a new world. {{storylink|Escape Part Five}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ==Games==<br /> ===''Transformers Legends''===<br /> Straxus, [[Axer (G1)|Axer]], and [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] accompanied [[Nova Prime|Nemesis Prime]] on a mission to defeat Nemesis's former self, Nova Prime. {{storylink|Prime Evil}}<br /> <br /> Straxus was part of a Decepticon raiding party that scoured a Human military base for the [[MacGuffin Generator]]. Straxus's job was to look in every building to check if it housed the generator, and reduce it to rubble if it didn't. The Decepticons eventually found the device, despite some Autobot interference, but it proved to be more volatile than they had anticipated. The Generator exploded, sending Straxus and the Decepticons flying off into the distance. {{storylink|Raiding Party}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: Battle Tactics''===<br /> [[File:BattleTacticsDarkmount.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.7|{{w|Shredder (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)|SHREDDER!!}}]]<br /> Darkmount participated in battles against a variety of opponents, both Autobots and Decepticons.

At the Decepticon's abandoned space-port, things went according to plan. Straxus ordered Starscream to activate the Space Bridge, and then approached Megatron, but was surprised to see that he was still functional.

One possible explanation is that an Austrian company, [http://www.stadlbauer.at/74.0.html?&amp;L=1 Stadlbauer], has owned &quot;Strax&quot; as an international registered trademark for toys since 1966, and applied to register the term in the United States [http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=79069729&amp;caseType=SERIAL_NO&amp;searchType=statusSearch in 2009]. This would give Stadlbauer a solid legal hold on the term versus another company trying to use a sound-alike in the same field.

Peacemaker partnered with Pointblank, who was likewise the acting commander of the Autobots in the absence of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. Peacemaker explained that the [[Nursery (Nebulos)|Nursery]], Nebulos's leading agricultural research center, was under threat of takeover by the Decepticons; this news prompted the Autobots to roll out to defend it.<br /> <br /> Peacemaker and fellow Nebulans were getting a guided tour of the Nursery from head botanist [[Selani]] when Scorponok arrived with the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s in tow. The six Nebulans transformed to their new weapon forms, and the Autobot [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]]s unleashed their new firepower. Though the group fared well enough, the Autobots ended up retreating to spare the Nursery utter destruction from the battle. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}<br /> <br /> ''At some point before leaving Nebulos, Peacemaker and the rest of the Autobot and Nebulan Targetmasters were kidnapped by the Decepticons. They were rescued by the Autobot Headmasters.'' {{storylink|Worlds Apart!}}<br /> <br /> Peacemaker accompanied Pointblank to Earth, and was present on the Targetmasters' first mission on that world. He was, along with his partners, introduced to Sparkplug Witwicky by Spike, Fortress Maximus's new binary bond partner. Later, Pointblank wielded him in weapons mode as the group stormed the Decepticons' island base, only to be forced into retreat by the island's hidden defenses. {{storylink|The Desert Island of Space!}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===''The Transformers'' cartoon===<br /> [[File:Rebirth1 Peacemaker.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.33|And now I'm a fat green Pilgrim!]]<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Steve Bulen]] (English), [[Masaki Aizawa]] (Japanese)|[[Hans-Rainer Müller]] (German, &quot;The Rebirth, Part 2&quot;), [[Michel Barbey]] (European French)}}<br /> <br /> Peacemaker was part of [[Gort]]'s group of rebel Nebulans. When Targetmaster technology was stolen from the [[Decepticon]]s, Peacemaker chose to be paired with Pointblank.

They were being chased through space in their starship by the Decepticons when they came across the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]]. [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]] gave them safe haven aboard his starship, and the Master citizens attempted to show their gratitude by removing the deadly [[plasma energy]] bombs Fortress was trying to dispose of. Their efforts came too late, however, as the plasma energy bombs exploded aboard their ship in space, bathing everyone nearby with energy. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:HM 30 Peaceman Pointblank.jpg|thumb|left|Nothing like a bloodbath to start the day.]]<br /> <br /> Peacemaker survived the explosion, and in fact underwent a miraculous transformation. He and two of his fellow refugees were each now binary bonded to one of the Autobot warriors who had been trying to save them when the plasma bombs went off. The smaller Master warriors could each transform into a powerful weapon and fuse with their larger partner's fist, creating Targetmasters. Peacemaker and his new partner Pointblank became soldiers together under Fortress's command. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:HM 30 Pointblank Peaceman bonded.jpg|thumb|right|I cherish peace with all my heart.

Peacemaker later stood in attendance as [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel]] informed the others of [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]]'s disappearance. Soon after, [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] contacted the Autobots, revealing that the Decepticons had kidnapped Wheelie. After Wheelie was rescued, Peaceamn joined Pointblank in battle against the Decepticons. Their efforts were for naught, as the Decepticons acquired the data on the [[Master Sword]] they were seeking, and Peacemaker sat on Pointblank's shoulder as he apologized to Fortress for their failure. {{storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} Peacemaker soon joined his partner in an investigation on Master for the possible presence of the Decepticons. The Autobots were soon accosted by the Decepticon Targetmasters and the two forces battled each other. The Decepticons were able to wash the Autobots away in a surge of water from an elevated lake. They were eventually able to pull themselves out of the new river and scouted the area for the hidden Decepticons, finding their cave hideout. As they were much smaller than their partners, Peacemaker, [[Pinpointer (G1)|Pointech]], and [[Spoilsport|Spoil]] volunteered to go ahead, using a small entrance into the factory where the Decepticons were creating the [[Zarak Shield]]. When their larger partners again came under attack by the Decepticon Targetmasters, they left the complex and rejoined their comrades, helping force the Decepticons into retreat. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}}<br /> <br /> [[Image:HM 34 Peaceman sits on Pointblank.jpg|thumb|left|You're the leader. You're supposed to be decisive.]]<br /> <br /> With the Zarak Shield now known to the Autobots, they had a meeting to discuss strategy, which Peacemaker sat in. Following Pointblank's strategy, the smaller Targetmaster partners joined in an advance part to find the Decepticons. They were soon attacked by the Decepticons, who had detected them. During battle, the Decepticons were distracted by an aircraft sent by the natives of Master, allowing the Autobots to escape. {{storylink|Operation: Destroy the Decepticons}} After the Decepticons left Master for [[Earth]], the Autobots followed. When Daniel was trapped at [[Daira]], the Targetmasters went ahead to keep watch on Scorponok while the others rescued Daniel. {{storylink|My Friend Sixshot!}} They were spotted in the [[asteroid belt]] and pulled into a battle. The other Autobots came to their rescue, and the fighting ended when [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] challenged [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] to battle. {{storylink|Duel on the Asteroid}}<br /> <br /> When the Autobots arrived on Earth, the Targetmasters were sent to investigate the [[Death Tower]] in [[Santiago]], [[Chile]]. They met with [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], who was easily taken down by Peacemaker and Pointblank, and returned to the other Autobots with their data. {{Storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}} The Autobots soon went to [[Giza (region)|Giza]], [[Egypt]], to catch the Death Tower there before it emerged.

Even other Decepticons weren't safe from his brutality, with him battering his own Executive Officer [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]] when he was in a mood.<br /> <br /> When a Decepticon transmission beamed from the planet [[Earth]] circa the Earth year [[1985]] reached Cybertron, Straxus immediately arranged for the capture of the scientist [[Spanner (G1)|Spanner]] so that a [[space bridge]] between the worlds could be constructed. Attempting to locate Spanner, the Autobot spy [[Scrounge (G1)|Scrounge]] learned of this plot, but was captured by [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]] and brought before Straxus, who maliciously destroyed his unique recording-device arm before consigning him to death in the [[smelting pool]]s. In turn, [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] came searching for Scrounge (against orders), was captured and brought before Straxus, and sentenced to the pools.

As the tests went on, an Autobot raiding party planted explosives within Darkmount, destroying it, and sending an enraged Straxus after their heads. With the bridge unattended, Blaster intended to destroy it with [[fission bomb]]s, but was confronted by Straxus in a one-on-one duel before he could detonate them. Crippling Blaster with his axe, Straxus was duped into accidentally severing the bridge's fuel line, destabilizing its teleporting arch, through which Blaster then kicked Straxus, destroying him. {{storylink|The Bridge to Nowhere!}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Straxushead.jpg|left|thumb|Teletraan I, Rita's escaped, recruit a team of teenagers with attitude...no, er wait...]]<br /> ''However, while Straxus's body was reduced to ash, his head was salvaged and placed in a life-support pod that allowed him to continue on in his position as leader.'' {{storylink|...The Harder They Die!}} ''Soon after, when [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] arrived on Cybertron, Straxus immediately set in motion a scheme to restore himself to life, calmly following Megatron's directions to hunt down [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]], who had arrived on the planet with him.

Megatron resisted the transfer, however, destroying Straxus's head, and leaving the two minds within Megatron's body, fighting for dominance, each one in control at a different moment. The other Decepticons, in particular [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]], soon noticed their leader's problems and began to scheme about how to handle it.

He discovered that their current commanders, [[Legonis]], [[Octus (G1)|Octus]] and [[Seizer]], were leading an idle life, enjoying gladiatorial battles while lounging about and drinking high-grade oil. The [[Triumvirate]] nearly goaded Megatron into attacking them in order to have their troops kill him in retaliation, but Megatron saw through their ruse. Growing desperate to rid themselves of the challenger, Seizer shoved Megatron down in the arena to have his gladiators deal with him, but once more Megatron retained his cool.

Along with this revelation, another immediately arose—Straxus's mental defeat was a sham, and he had been dwelling within the clone's mind all along, steadily growing in power as the clone weakened. Straxus made one final attempt to seize control of their mind, and the clone committed suicide, blowing his own head off with his [[fusion cannon]], rather than allow Straxus to win.'' {{storylink|Two Megatrons!}}<br /> <br /> ''It is possible that in the original un-altered pre-Time Wars timeline, the Straxus-Megatron clone may have been the Megatron transformed into Galvatron, but the shifting nature of the timelines makes this open to debate at best.''<br /> <br /> ''All very simple, isn't it?''<br /> <br /> {{note|The true nature of the Megatron clone was not revealed until the story which depicted his death. This was because, for all of the clone's other stories, he was regarded by characters, readers and writer [[Simon Furman]] as actually being the ''real'' Megatron, having survived his supposed death in the US comics. The US comics, however, continued to treat Megatron as pushing up daisies, so when Simon Furman took over writing that title and penned Megatron's return, he needed an explanation that would reconcile Megatron's continual appearances in the UK title with his lack of activity in the US. Relegating the Megatron of the UK comics to a clone was that explanation, revealed in UK-exclusive strips which ran concurrently with the reprints of Megatron's US return.}}<br /> <br /> =====Trigger-Happy!=====<br /> [[File:Trigger-happy MegatronScoop.jpg|left|upright=1.2|thumb]]<br /> The madness that had gripped the Megatron clone for so long began to subside, as the full ramifications of meeting his future self dawned on him. Foreknowledge that he would one day become Galvatron emboldened Megatron, and left him believing that he was invincible until such events came to pass. He still had to contend with [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]]'s rogue faction however, though an opportunity to gain an upper hand against his rival soon presented itself. Megatron received word from [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]] and [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]] that they had acquired battle plans drafted by Scorponok, and set up a meeting to receive the documents. Though the messengers were nearly intercepted by an Autobot ambush, they evaded capture thanks to [[Backstreet (G1)|Backstreet]] botching the sting. Afterwards, Megatron learned that Backstreet had gone on the run from Autobot justice, and saw an opportunity to capitalize on the situation. Backstreet had accidentally endangered several humans before fleeing, and Megatron plotted to make the fugitive into a pariah; through him, humans might be led to believe that all Autobots meant them harm. Megatron would turn the locals against Optimus's forces, and eliminate them too once the Autobots had fallen. An altercation between Backstreet and a [[United States Army|human military convoy]] only served to further Megatron's goals.<br /> <br /> It was [[Spinister (G1)|Spinister]] who eventually tracked down Backstreet, then squatting in an [[Riverway Fun Park|abandoned amusement park]]. Megatron ordered his troops to stand back so that he might approach Backstreet himself and &quot;recruit&quot; him to the Decepticons, but upon his arrival, Megatron found that both [[Scoop (G1)#Trigger-Happy!|Scoop]] and Spinister had disregarded his orders and were in the process of roughing up the Autobot. Outraged, Megatron tossed aside both his minions and ordered them away. Then, in his best attempt to appear sincere, Megatron extended a hand in friendship towards Backstreet, promising him protection and a privileged position in the Decepticon hierarchy. Despite Megatron's best efforts, Backstreet saw through his charade, and turned down the offer.

In exchange for this however, Shockwave expected Straxus to lead an assault on Iacon so the data Perceptor had uncovered about Shockwave's schemes would go unnoticed.

The assault on Iacon was launched and Straxus ordered his troops to secure lots of prisoners to test out his new pool. {{storylink|Secrets &amp; Lies issue 2|Secrets &amp; Lies #2}}<br /> <br /> While Shockwave had intended for Straxus to be nothing more than a seat warmer, the new Regional Liege quickly established himself as a military force to be reckoned with, even as his annexing of contested territories rubbed [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] and [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]] the wrong way. After an unproductive meeting with his colleagues, Straxus went to relax by the smelting pit.

Also, sometimes between panels.<br /> *With that in mind, Darkmount's color scheme (with its red biceps and gold chest) is based on an amalgam of his appearances.<br /> *Not only was Straxus's color scheme unstable, but so was his weapon design. In his first issue, it looked like a pick-axe, but when Straxus battled Blaster in his second issue, it had evolved into a scythe.<br /> *So why &quot;Darkmount&quot; for the toy instead of the obviously-made-up &quot;Straxus&quot;, theoretically easy to [[trademark]]? One possible explanation is that an Austrian company, [http://www.stadlbauer.at/74.0.html?&amp;L=1 Stadlbauer], has owned &quot;Strax&quot; as an international registered trademark for toys since 1966, and applied to register the term in the United States [http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=79069729&amp;caseType=SERIAL_NO&amp;searchType=statusSearch in 2009]. This would give Stadlbauer a solid legal hold on the term versus another company trying to use a sound-alike in the same field. While this unforeseen hitch may have necessitated Straxus's name-change, it's not like another company could get away with using &quot;Optimusor Primeo&quot;, either...<br /> *According to Hasbro copy writer [[Forest Lee]], Straxus was mentioned in [[San Diego Comic-Con|Comic-Con]] 2008 [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]]'s bio entirely to make [[David Willis]] happy. Incidentally, Willis colored the cover to the fan publication mentioned in the second note, so he's probably on Cloud Nine right now.<br /> *It's likely that [[Eric Holmes]] didn't consult with [[Simon Furman]] when he had Straxus as a cameo in ''[[The Transformers: Megatron Origin|Megatron Origin]]''. (Straxus must have been mentioned in the script, since he shows up in [http://mmatere.deviantart.com/art/Megatron-Origins-4-pag-02-80058403 Marcelo Matere's version of the page.])<br /> [[File:KreonStraxusConcept.jpg|thumb]]<br /> *Straxus in the online ''Kre-O'' comic is made from existing ''Kre-O'' parts.

The Autobots did indeed find the head and install it back on Prime's body. The fake head took control of Optimus's body and immediately started attacking the Autobots. {{storylink|Prime Time!}}<br /> <br /> In order to show his sincere desire for peace, [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Fortress Maximus]] ripped his ''own'' head off; four others followed him. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}} The heads remained alive and capable of talking even without a body. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}}<br /> <br /> [[File:MarvelUK-220.jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.85|Uh, I don't think you'll be able to turn anyone to stone with this.]]<br /> <br /> ''[[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]]-[[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] would rip [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus']] head off his shoulders, which killed him instantly.'' {{storylink|Dry Run!}}<br /> <br /> ''[[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] give prerequisite mental commands when their heads come off.

In some cases, like poor Terrorsaur's to the left, the Transformer's body could still move and would try to re-attach its head. {{storylink|Double Jeopardy}}<br /> <br /> Megatron was obviously going for this result in his attempt to kill [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and change history, but he only managed to melt parts of the Autobot's head despite routing all available power to his main weapon.

His head remained alive, fully conscious and still able to speak, until another Reaper smashed it with a very large boulder. {{storylink|Devastation issue 6}}<br /> <br /> Decapitation appeared to be the cause of death of Autobot police officers [[Wheelarch]] and [[Springarm]] while under the command of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Orion Pax]] in [[Rodion]]. Both were decapitated by corrupt [[Senate]] thugs and their inert heads placed in Pax's trophy case. Harsh. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 2}}<br /> <br /> The [[Titan Master]] [[Infinitus]] decapitated [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]], then transformed into his head configuration to puppeteer his victim's body and fetch [[G.B.

Ultimately, the Autobots and their allies were able to retrieve Alpha Trion's body and reunite it with his head, and the sage made a full recovery. {{storylink|White Heat}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Live-action film series continuity===<br /> ====''Transformers'' (2007)====<br /> [[File:Barricade-comicsadaptation-death.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Your face?

Later comics and movies [[retcon]] him as surviving with his head still on his shoulders.}}<br /> <br /> ====''Revenge of the Fallen''====<br /> [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]'s head was ripped in half and removed by Optimus Prime. <br /> <br /> [[The Fallen]] met a particularly gruesome end in Egypt, as Prime ripped his face plate off while bellowing the aforementioned quote, though this injury wasn't as fatal as Optimus subsequently ripped out the Fallen's spark core and crushed it. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}<br /> <br /> Hunters are known for decapitating the corpses of their kills, and displaying them as trophies. Optimus Prime, surprisingly, finds it distasteful. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.10| Bring Me the Head of Optimus Prime}}<br /> <br /> ====''Dark of the Moon''====<br /> [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], the [[Driller]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] are decapitated in the third movie. [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Que]]'s heads fell off when they died of other causes. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}<br /> <br /> ====''The Last Knight''====<br /> [[File:TLK Optimus decapitates Infernocons.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|New heads for the collection!]]<br /> [[Mohawk]] was decapitated when [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] blasted him, his head still continuing to yammer on even after seperation from his body. [[Nitro Zeus]] also met his end by Bumblebee blowing his head off, although this time the head was disintegrated and did not remain. Optimus continued to revel in his favorite tactic, shoving his sword through [[Infernocus]]' head before setting a new personal record by ''decapitating all six [[Infernocon]]s with a single strike'' when they seperated to attack him again.<br /> <br /> ===''Animated'' cartoon===<br /> [[File:TFA Headmaster headbutt.JPG|upright=1.1|thumb|Glad to see you've got some headspace to deal with this issue (had enough of the puns yet?)]]<br /> The [[Headmaster (Animated)|Headmaster]] uses his [[Headmaster unit]] to cut off the heads of [[Transformer]]s so that he can take control over their bodies. Yet this does not kill his victims.<br /> <br /> Two stand out examples of surviving decapitation are worth noting. The first is the example of [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]], who was decapitated during an uncontrolled re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out}} He was sent into stasis lock as a result, but was reactivated fifty years later thanks to [[Sari Sumdac (Animated)|Sari Sumdac]]'s [[AllSpark Key]], which had been powered with the energies of the [[AllSpark]]. {{storylink|Home Is Where the Spark Is}}<br /> <br /> The other major example is [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]], but this is atypical. Starscream's survival was because of an AllSpark fragment embedded in his head, meaning he could survive any normally spark threatening injury as long as the shard was in his head. {{storylink|Mission Accomplished}}<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Tactics]]</div>

In true Decepticon fashion, he likes to show off his brawn by bullying smaller foes.<br /> <br /> Sometimes, he is the leader of the [[Combaticon (ROTF)|Combaticons]], with whom he combines to form the mighty [[Bruticus Maximus (ROTF)|Bruticus Maximus]].<br /> <br /> {{quote|&quot;You need a bigger door!&quot;|Onslaught's disappointment before freedom|[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]}}<br /> <br /> {{TOCclear}}<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===''The Last Knight'' film===<br /> {{voiceactor|John Goodman (uncredited) (English), [[Kenji Nomura]] (Japanese)}}<br /> [[File:TF-TLK-Onslaught-you-need-a-bigger-door.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|Big Green!

When the T.R.F. opted to work with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and release some Decepticons to be part of his &quot;crew&quot;, among Megatron's first choices was none other than [[Berserker]]. However, Berserker was deemed too dangerous, so Megatron had to settle for Onslaught, who needed high level clearance to be released. When released, he angrily bemoaned the small size of the T.R.F.'s doors, which he could not fit through. However, he ''was'' able to get his cannon through said door.<br /> <br /> [[File:TF-TLK-Onslaught-death.jpg|right|upright=1.33|thumb|Looks like Berserker picked the right day to call in sick.]]<br /> Onslaught joined the Decepticons on their hunt for [[Cade Yeager]], and followed his leader to the human's scrap yard and then to a nearby town. They were met with some not-quite-unexpected resistance in the form of the Autobots [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], and [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]] and damaged in a trap set by Yeager. He attempted to catch the fugitive human but was ambushed by Drift and Crosshairs. He first lost his leg and took several shots in the chest before finally losing his &quot;fat head&quot; to Drift's sword.<br /> {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===''Schick Hydrobot and the Transformers'' comic===<br /> [[File:TF-TLK-ANF-Onslaught.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Well I'm going to call you little green.]]<br /> Onslaught was among the Decepticons who attacked Doctor [[Hiroshi Benson]]'s laboratory.

He was available with the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bruticus Maximus giftset, and when combined with the other Combaticons, Onslaught forms the torso.

As loyal as he is deadly, this [[Decepticon]] is always ready to cause some mayhem in service of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. Sadly, Megatron does not reciprocate his loyalty. That's most likely because Mohawk never shuts up.<br /> <br /> {{quote|What up, fellas! Man, I wanna kill y'all right now! Hahaha! But I'mma kill ya later! ''Definitely'' gonna kill you mofos later!

Set years after its predecessor, the show follows [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] as he travels back to [[Earth]] after the prison ship ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' crash-lands on the planet. Charged with rounding up the escaped [[Decepticon]] prisoners, he reluctantly takes command of a new team of [[Autobot]]s.<br /> <br /> The show made its worldwide debut in late December 2014, with the first 13 episodes released as pay-to-view content on Chinese video streaming website [http://www.1905.com M1905]. The series subsequently debuted on Cartoon Network in numerous countries before the first 26-episode season finally premiered in the US on [[March 14]], [[2015]]. A second season of 13 episodes began screening on [[February 20]], 2016, followed by a 6-episode &quot;mini-series&quot;/&quot;TV event&quot; later in the year. A full third season of 26 episodes, with the subtitle ''Combiner Force'', is currently airing on Cartoon Network.<br /> <br /> The mini-series has caused some confusion over how the seasons of ''Robots in Disguise'' should be counted. It was initially promoted as &quot;season 3&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[https://youtu.be/wmBE1YgV0yM Botcon 2016 - Q&amp; A Interview with Hasbro Transformers Team]&lt;/ref&gt; before viewers properly understood it was only six episodes in length, but when &quot;Combiner Force&quot; was announced, it was also treated as the third season.&lt;ref&gt;[http://comicbook.com/popculturenow/2016/10/06/exclusive-transformers-robots-in-disguise-renewed-for-season-3/ &quot;Transformers: Robots In Disguise Renewed For Season 3,&quot; Comicbook.com&lt;/ref&gt;. There has been no obvious consensus; Amazon.com groups it in with season 2, while Netflix labels it season 3. For bookkeeping purposes TFWiki refers to it as &quot;Season 2½.&quot; <br /> <br /> Seasons 1, 2, and 2½ (labelled &quot;season 3&quot;) of the show are currently available on [[Netflix]] in certain regions<br /> <br /> The show will conclude with its third season and be replaced by [[Transformers: Cyberverse]] in 2018. <br /> <br /> ==Overview==<br /> [[File:RID Season 2 Team.jpg|thumb|left|400px|CHEESE!]]<br /> Years after the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], the Autobot prison ship ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' crashes on [[Earth]] near [[Crown City]], sparking a mass [[Decepticon]] jailbreak. Meanwhile, on a rebuilt [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], war veteran [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] is now working as a street cop, mentoring Cadet [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]]. Bumblebee is alerted to the danger on Earth by a vision of a ghostly [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], who directs them to a nearby [[space bridge]]. <br /> <br /> Bumblebee unwillingly finds himself accompanied to Earth by Strongarm, and the delinquent [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]], where they encounter [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]], sole caretaker of the former prison ship. They're joined by the ex-Decepticon prisoner [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]], [[human]] scrapyard owner [[Denny Clay]] and his son [[Russell Clay|Russell]]. Although he's not confident in his leadership abilities, Bumblebee nevertheless pledges to round up the inmates of the ''Alchemor''. Chief among the Decepticon threat is the charismatic [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]], who seeks to organize the escaped prisoners into an effective cabal to conquer the planet.<br /> <br /> Over the course of the first season, new Autobots bolster the ranks of the team, including the bounty hunter [[Drift (RID)|Drift]], his two Mini-Cons [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]] and [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]], the mysterious [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]], and finally Optimus Prime himself, returned to life by the [[Thirteen]] to defeat [[The Fallen|Megatronus]].<br /> <br /> Season 2 sees Bumblebee's team split into two groups: an &quot;away team&quot; to search the world for far-ranging Decepticons while Bumblebee, Strongarm, Grimlock, and Fixit hold down the fort near Crown City. Still recovering from his humiliating rout at the hands of Megatronus, Steeljaw allies with a mysterious group of Decepticons led by [[Saberhorn]], [[Glowstrike]] and [[Scorponok (WFC)|Scorponok]], operating out of the crashed ''Alchemor''. True to form, Steeljaw plots to rise through the ranks of this new army and seize control of the group for himself.<br /> <br /> The second season features more frequent references to predecessor series ''Prime'' in an effort to forge a stronger sense of continuity between the two. Coinciding with this, the season sees the return of multiple regulars from ''Prime'' in special guest appearances: [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]], now partnered with a silent Mini-Con named [[Undertone]], and [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], still accompanied by [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]]. Mini-Cons were also a big focus of this season, with at least one appearing in every episode.<br /> <br /> Season 2 proper was followed by a &quot;mini-series&quot; of sorts, referred to as Season 3 by several official sources before the announcement of a full third season. This six-episode run sees the return of [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], who seeks the mysterious Mini-Con Weaponizers, who have reluctantly partnered with a group of Decepticon [[Scavenger (RID 2015)|Scavengers]] searching Earth for abandoned Cybertronian relics.<br /> <br /> The actual Season 3 is titled &quot;Combiner Force&quot;. Bumblebee and his crew must harness the power of combination in order to defeat their newest foes, the [[Stunticon (Prime)|Stunticon]]s. At the same time Soundwave has sent a trio of Minicons to steal Team Bee's Decepticon Hunters.<br /> <br /> ==Main cast==<br /> (Recurring characters only.)<br /> {{Featuredcharacters<br /> |c1=<br />

''Adventure'' was the first Transformers cartoon to be relegated directly to satellite since ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)#Japanese release|Beast Wars Returns]]''. It premiered on [[March 15]], 2015... only a ''day'' after the US premiere. <br /> <br /> The localization for the series was headed by [[Keiichirō Miyoshi]], who headed the localization of the [[live-action film series|live-action ''Transformers'' films]] for Japanese markets. This also makes ''Adventure'' the first American ''Transformers'' cartoon to be released in Japan ''without'' the oversight of [[Yoshikazu Iwanami]] since [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1]]. While an effort was made to emulate the dubbing style of Iwanami, which has become synonymous with Transformers cartoons in Japan, the adlibbing was not nearly as extensive and fourth wall-breaking humor was non-existent.<br /> <br /> Since ''Adventure'' aired on a satellite network and not a broadcast network, it was not edited for time like previous ''Transformers'' cartoons. The episodes were fully uncut and featured extended opening and ending sequences. The [[title sequence]] was comprised mostly of clips from episodes, but new animation (mostly group shots) was provided by [[LandQ Studio]]. The end credits sequence featured a newly animated &quot;stage performance&quot; from the cast ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZE2jqYoTTc which really must be seen to be believed]), animated by [[Nakano Design]].<br /> <br /> As is rather well-known, ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)#Japanese release|Transformers: Prime]]'' did not complete its run in Japan, ending at 52 episodes. To date, Japanese audiences have not received the ''[[Beast Hunters]]'' episodes or the ''[[Predacons Rising (Prime)|Predacons Rising]]'' film. The ''Adventure'' series did not alter the scripts to account for this, although it mostly played as a separate entity from ''Prime''.<br /> <br /> Animax aired the episodes using the Australian broadcast order rather than the US order, which is actually the incorrect continuity sequence. As a result, &quot;[[Sideways (episode)|Sideways]]&quot; aired before &quot;[[Out of Focus]]&quot;.<br /> <br /> The [[theme song]] for the series is &quot;[[Save the Future!!]]&quot; by [[Mitsuhiro Oikawa]] and the ending theme is &quot;[[Try☆Transformers Adventure↑↑↑]]&quot; performed by the primary cast of the show (Bumblebee, Strongarm, Sideswipe, Fixit, Grimlock, and Optimus Prime).<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers Adventure -Prime of Micron-'' (''New Enemies'')===<br /> [[File:Prime of Micron logo.jpg|center|300px|]]<br /> <br /> The season 2 and &quot;season 2½&quot; (or &quot;miniseries&quot;) episodes of ''Robots in Disguise'' were combined into a newly branded sequel series which began airing on [[July 3]], [[2016]]&lt;ref&gt;[http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/05/09/transformers-adventure-returns-japanese-screens-july-315264]&lt;/ref&gt; under the title '''''Transformers Adventure -Prime of Micron-''''' (トランスフォーマー アドベンチャー -マイクロンの章- ''Toransufōmā Adobenchā -Maikuron no Shō-''). Incidentally, the &quot;Maikuron no Shō&quot; portion of the Japanese title actually translates to &quot;Micron Chapter&quot;, but nobody tell them that. Like the previous season/series, it aired on Animax with a Sunday morning, 9:00am timeslot.<br /> <br /> In November of 2016, the &quot;season 2½&quot; episodes of ''Robots in Disguise'' were given a special distinction under the modified title '''''Transformers Adventure -Prime of Micron- New Enemies''''' (トランスフォーマー アドベンチャー -マイクロンの章- 新たなる敵 ''Toransufōmā Adobenchā -Maikuron no Shō- Aratanaru Teki''). The title which appears on-screen does not display the &quot;New Enemies&quot; distinction, with the phrase instead appearing in broadcast schedule listings for Animax.<br /> <br /> The rebranding for this sequence of episodes to include the word ''Prime'' in the title was likely a measure to create stronger ties with the continuity of the previous series, ''Transformers: Prime'', as the season 2(½) episodes begin making more direct references to the events of the past series. While the continuity is maintained, the guest characters from ''Prime'' are not played by their previous voice actors in the dub and are instead substituted with sound-alikes. <br /> <br /> ''Prime of Micron'' includes a newly cobbled together title sequence (comprised of clips from episodes), but maintains the same theme song as ''Adventure''. Likewise, the end credits sequence and song are the same.<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> *&quot;'''TF2'''&quot; was an early working name for the series. <br /> *''Robots in Disguise'' did not have the most successful record when it came to premiering new episodes; to date, every episode of the series bar the first half-dozen of season 2 has been released through an international venue before it was broadcast on U.S. television.<br /> **The first 13 episodes of the series were released, dubbed in Mandarin Chinese, on [[December 31]], [[2014]] in mainland China, but not Hong Kong, several weeks in advance of their US broadcast. The episodes were made available on website 1905.com, with five-minute previews being free and the whole episodes available until [[January 15]] for CNY/RMB ¥19.5, which is around USD$3–4.

Set years after its predecessor, the show follows [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] as he travels back to [[Earth]] after the prison ship ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' crash-lands on the planet. Charged with rounding up the escaped [[Decepticon]] prisoners, he reluctantly takes command of a new team of [[Autobot]]s.<br /> <br /> The show made its worldwide debut in late December 2014, with the first 13 episodes released as pay-to-view content on Chinese video streaming website [http://www.1905.com M1905]. The series subsequently debuted on Cartoon Network in numerous countries before the first 26-episode season finally premiered in the US on [[March 14]], [[2015]]. A second season of 13 episodes began screening on [[February 20]], 2016, followed by a 6-episode &quot;mini-series&quot;/&quot;TV event&quot; later in the year. A full third season of 26 episodes, with the subtitle ''Combiner Force'', is currently airing on Cartoon Network.<br /> <br /> The mini-series has caused some confusion over how the seasons of ''Robots in Disguise'' should be counted. It was initially promoted as &quot;season 3&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[https://youtu.be/wmBE1YgV0yM Botcon 2016 - Q&amp; A Interview with Hasbro Transformers Team]&lt;/ref&gt; before viewers properly understood it was only six episodes in length, but when &quot;Combiner Force&quot; was announced, it was also treated as the third season.&lt;ref&gt;[http://comicbook.com/popculturenow/2016/10/06/exclusive-transformers-robots-in-disguise-renewed-for-season-3/ &quot;Transformers: Robots In Disguise Renewed For Season 3,&quot; Comicbook.com&lt;/ref&gt;. There has been no obvious consensus; Amazon.com groups it in with season 2, while Netflix labels it season 3. For bookkeeping purposes TFWiki refers to it as &quot;Season 2½.&quot; <br /> <br /> Seasons 1, 2, and 2½ (labelled &quot;season 3&quot;) of the show are currently available on [[Netflix]] in certain regions<br /> <br /> The show will conclude with its third season and be replaced by [[Transformers: Cyberverse]] in 2018. <br /> <br /> ==Overview==<br /> [[File:RID Season 2 Team.jpg|thumb|left|400px|CHEESE!]]<br /> Years after the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], the Autobot prison ship ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' crashes on [[Earth]] near [[Crown City]], sparking a mass [[Decepticon]] jailbreak. Meanwhile, on a rebuilt [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], war veteran [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] is now working as a street cop, mentoring Cadet [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]]. Bumblebee is alerted to the danger on Earth by a vision of a ghostly [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], who directs them to a nearby [[space bridge]]. <br /> <br /> Bumblebee unwillingly finds himself accompanied to Earth by Strongarm, and the delinquent [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]], where they encounter [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]], sole caretaker of the former prison ship. They're joined by the ex-Decepticon prisoner [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]], [[human]] scrapyard owner [[Denny Clay]] and his son [[Russell Clay|Russell]]. Although he's not confident in his leadership abilities, Bumblebee nevertheless pledges to round up the inmates of the ''Alchemor''. Chief among the Decepticon threat is the charismatic [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]], who seeks to organize the escaped prisoners into an effective cabal to conquer the planet.<br /> <br /> Over the course of the first season, new Autobots bolster the ranks of the team, including the bounty hunter [[Drift (RID)|Drift]], his two Mini-Cons [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]] and [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]], the mysterious [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]], and finally Optimus Prime himself, returned to life by the [[Thirteen]] to defeat [[The Fallen|Megatronus]].<br /> <br /> Season 2 sees Bumblebee's team split into two groups: an &quot;away team&quot; to search the world for far-ranging Decepticons while Bumblebee, Strongarm, Grimlock, and Fixit hold down the fort near Crown City. Still recovering from his humiliating rout at the hands of Megatronus, Steeljaw allies with a mysterious group of Decepticons led by [[Saberhorn]], [[Glowstrike]] and [[Scorponok (WFC)|Scorponok]], operating out of the crashed ''Alchemor''. True to form, Steeljaw plots to rise through the ranks of this new army and seize control of the group for himself.<br /> <br /> The second season features more frequent references to predecessor series ''Prime'' in an effort to forge a stronger sense of continuity between the two. Coinciding with this, the season sees the return of multiple regulars from ''Prime'' in special guest appearances: [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]], now partnered with a silent Mini-Con named [[Undertone]], and [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], still accompanied by [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]]. Mini-Cons were also a big focus of this season, with at least one appearing in every episode.<br /> <br /> Season 2 proper was followed by a &quot;mini-series&quot; of sorts, referred to as Season 3 by several official sources before the announcement of a full third season. This six-episode run sees the return of [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], who seeks the mysterious Mini-Con Weaponizers, who have reluctantly partnered with a group of Decepticon [[Scavenger (RID 2015)|Scavengers]] searching Earth for abandoned Cybertronian relics.<br /> <br /> The actual Season 3 is titled &quot;Combiner Force&quot;. Bumblebee and his crew must harness the power of combination in order to defeat their newest foes, the [[Stunticon (Prime)|Stunticon]]s. At the same time Soundwave has sent a trio of Minicons to steal Team Bee's Decepticon Hunters.<br /> <br /> ==Main cast==<br /> (Recurring characters only.)<br /> {{Featuredcharacters<br /> |c1=<br />

''Adventure'' was the first Transformers cartoon to be relegated directly to satellite since ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)#Japanese release|Beast Wars Returns]]''. It premiered on [[March 15]], 2015... only a ''day'' after the US premiere. <br /> <br /> The localization for the series was headed by [[Keiichirō Miyoshi]], who headed the localization of the [[live-action film series|live-action ''Transformers'' films]] for Japanese markets. This also makes ''Adventure'' the first American ''Transformers'' cartoon to be released in Japan ''without'' the oversight of [[Yoshikazu Iwanami]] since [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1]]. While an effort was made to emulate the dubbing style of Iwanami, which has become synonymous with Transformers cartoons in Japan, the adlibbing was not nearly as extensive and fourth wall-breaking humor was non-existent.<br /> <br /> Since ''Adventure'' aired on a satellite network and not a broadcast network, it was not edited for time like previous ''Transformers'' cartoons. The episodes were fully uncut and featured extended opening and ending sequences. The [[title sequence]] was comprised mostly of clips from episodes, but new animation (mostly group shots) was provided by [[LandQ Studio]]. The end credits sequence featured a newly animated &quot;stage performance&quot; from the cast ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZE2jqYoTTc which really must be seen to be believed]), animated by [[Nakano Design]].<br /> <br /> As is rather well-known, ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)#Japanese release|Transformers: Prime]]'' did not complete its run in Japan, ending at 52 episodes. To date, Japanese audiences have not received the ''[[Beast Hunters]]'' episodes or the ''[[Predacons Rising (Prime)|Predacons Rising]]'' film. The ''Adventure'' series did not alter the scripts to account for this, although it mostly played as a separate entity from ''Prime''.<br /> <br /> Animax aired the episodes using the Australian broadcast order rather than the US order, which is actually the incorrect continuity sequence. As a result, &quot;[[Sideways (episode)|Sideways]]&quot; aired before &quot;[[Out of Focus]]&quot;.<br /> <br /> The [[theme song]] for the series is &quot;[[Save the Future!!]]&quot; by [[Mitsuhiro Oikawa]] and the ending theme is &quot;[[Try☆Transformers Adventure↑↑↑]]&quot; performed by the primary cast of the show (Bumblebee, Strongarm, Sideswipe, Fixit, Grimlock, and Optimus Prime).<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers Adventure -Prime of Micron-'' (''New Enemies'')===<br /> [[File:Prime of Micron logo.jpg|center|300px|]]<br /> <br /> The season 2 and &quot;season 2½&quot; (or &quot;miniseries&quot;) episodes of ''Robots in Disguise'' were combined into a newly branded sequel series which began airing on [[July 3]], [[2016]]&lt;ref&gt;[http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/05/09/transformers-adventure-returns-japanese-screens-july-315264]&lt;/ref&gt; under the title '''''Transformers Adventure -Prime of Micron-''''' (トランスフォーマー アドベンチャー -マイクロンの章- ''Toransufōmā Adobenchā -Maikuron no Shō-''). Incidentally, the &quot;Maikuron no Shō&quot; portion of the Japanese title actually translates to &quot;Micron Chapter&quot;, but nobody tell them that. Like the previous season/series, it aired on Animax with a Sunday morning, 9:00am timeslot.<br /> <br /> In November of 2016, the &quot;season 2½&quot; episodes of ''Robots in Disguise'' were given a special distinction under the modified title '''''Transformers Adventure -Prime of Micron- New Enemies''''' (トランスフォーマー アドベンチャー -マイクロンの章- 新たなる敵 ''Toransufōmā Adobenchā -Maikuron no Shō- Aratanaru Teki''). The title which appears on-screen does not display the &quot;New Enemies&quot; distinction, with the phrase instead appearing in broadcast schedule listings for Animax.<br /> <br /> The rebranding for this sequence of episodes to include the word ''Prime'' in the title was likely a measure to create stronger ties with the continuity of the previous series, ''Transformers: Prime'', as the season 2(½) episodes begin making more direct references to the events of the past series. While the continuity is maintained, the guest characters from ''Prime'' are not played by their previous voice actors in the dub and are instead substituted with sound-alikes. <br /> <br /> ''Prime of Micron'' includes a newly cobbled together title sequence (comprised of clips from episodes), but maintains the same theme song as ''Adventure''.

<p>Blastertronus: /* See also */</p> <hr /> <div>[[File:Rubsign.gif|304px|thumb|Wax on, wax off.]]<br /> A '''rubsign''' is a small pre-applied heat-sensitive sticker. Rubbing the sticker reveals a hidden symbol.<br /> <br /> ==Operating principles==<br /> [[File:Rubsign inactive.png|left|37px]]Demons make the color change. Anybody who tells you otherwise is a witch, and should be burned, burned at the stake. Death to the evildoers!<br /> ''Ahem''. The working part of a rubsign is a layer of Mylar plastic which contains thermochromic liquid crystals. At different temperatures, the liquid crystals' molecular structure changes, reflecting different wavelengths of light, and making a visible [[Insignia|faction symbol]] appear. [[wikipedia:Mood ring|Mood rings]] work by the same principle, but have more bogus magical properties.<br /> <br /> ==Generation 1==<br /> The [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]] were the first toys to debut with rubsigns. They came packaged with [[Mini Vehicle]]s in early [[1985]]. The faction of Mini-spy remained hidden until someone opened up the package and rubbed the rubsign, revealing an Autobot or Decepticon [[insignia]].<br /> <br /> Beginning in the second year of [[The Transformers (franchise)|the franchise]], all Transformers featured a rubsign that revealed an Autobot or Decepticon insignia in addition to other standard insignia [[sticker]]s. The purpose of these rubsigns was to help consumers distinguish genuine [[toy|Transformers toys]] from the many [[knockoff]]s their success inspired (off-brand versions of the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]], and his [[Mini-Cassette|cassettes]] were particularly common in 84/85), as well as [[Tonka]]'s ''[[GoBots (franchise)|GoBots]]'' toys and similar toys of other competitors. <br /> <br /> By [[1988]], rubsigns were dropped from the line (presumably as most of the competition had been long-buried), even though several toys from that year still had molded spots for them.<br /> <br /> [[File:Fastlane.png|left|37px]]<br /> [[File:Pounce.png|37px]]<br /> [[File:Cloudraker.png|left|37px]]<br /> [[File:Wingspan.png|37px]]<br /> The [[Clone (subgroup)|Clones]] had special rubsigns that revealed their personal insignia. The rubsign could be activated so their true identity could be revealed without having to transform them (or, you know, [[Kibble|rotate them slightly]]).<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ==Beast Wars==<br /> Rubsigns would not appear again on ''Transformers'' toys until the second year of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' product in 1997, called &quot;[[hidden Energon chips]]&quot;. They continued through the next year's [[Fuzor]]s and [[Transmetal]]s, but were replaced by the time of the [[Transmetal 2]]s (and in the ''[[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (franchise)|Beast Wars Neo]]'' new-mold toys) with &quot;[[spark crystal]]s&quot;.<br /> <br /> ==Classics==<br /> Rubsigns reintroduced to the ''Transformers'' line in [[2006]] with the [[Transformers: Classics|Classics]] series. They are also on most of the [[Generation 1 reissues]] from both Takara and Hasbro.<br /> <br /> ==Reveal the Shield==<br /> Rubsigns were used as the main [[gimmick]] of the ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[subline imprint]] of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toy line]]. The toy packaging directed people to &quot;Press to reveal Autobot or Decepticon allegiance.&quot; However, the back of the packaging ''also'' featured a large faction symbol for the character, spoiling the mystery of the character's allegiance.<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===''Transformers Comic-Magazin''===<br /> [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]], [[Darkwing]], and [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] were hiding in an airbase in Nevada, before revealing their liquid crystal Decepticon insignia and flying off. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 6#Transformers in the Battle for Peace: A Big Day for Powermaster Optimus Prime|A Big Day for Powermaster Optimus Prime}}<br /> <br /> ===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===<br /> [[File:Rubsign Smokescreen.JPG|left|thumb]]<br /> [[Dreamwave Productions]], famous for their re-launching Transformers comics and generally toy-accurate artwork, featured a few [[posters]] of Transformers featuring a rubsign.<br /> <br /> Rubsigns were used as a way of disguising [[Autobot]] [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]]'s faction symbol (which had been outlawed). {{storylink|War and Peace}} <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====IDW Generation 1 continuity====<br /> [[File:Rubsign Soundwave.JPG|thumb|RUBSIGN DEPLOY.

In real life, MI6 is the UK's ''external'' intelligence agency; it is more likely that {{w|MI5}}, the UK's domestic intelligence agency, would be the British central government's agency present.<br /> <br /> ==Transformers references==<br /> * Quintessa is a loose adaptation of the [[Quintesson]]s - the recurring race of antagonistic extraterrestrials who terrorized both the Autobots and Decepticons in season 3 of the original 1980's cartoon. In the cartoon continuity, the Quintessons were the creators of the Transformers, in the same way that Quintessa claims to be in the film. Here, though, Quintessa seems to be physically based off of [[Quintus Prime]], a relatively new character introduced through 2013's ''[[Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus]]''; the decision to make the character female is something wholly new, although it may speak to some influence from [[Solus Prime]].<br /> * Unicron having a connection to the Earth seems inspired by the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'' cartoon; in that series, Unicron's alternate mode ''was'' the core of the Earth, with the rest of the planet having formed around his dormant body during his hibernation. Whether or not this corporeality holds true for this incarnation of Unicron remains to be seen.<br /> * When Optimus Prime falls under Quintessa's control, he is dubbed &quot;[[Nemesis Prime (disambiguation)|Nemesis Prime]]&quot;, an obvious reference to the evil clone of Optimus Prime that has appeared in many [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|conti]][[Nemesis Prime (G1)|nui]][[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|ties]].<br /> * Edmund Burton claims Cogman is a [[Headmaster (technology)|&quot;headmaster&quot;]], which is typically a human-sized bot that transforms into the head of a larger bot. Unfortunately, we don't actually see Cogman do anything like that.<br /> * [[Skullitron]] bares a resemblance to [[Bludgeon]], being a skull-faced transformer that wields swords.<br /> <br /> ==Other references==<br /> *Crosshairs calls Cogman a &quot;[[Star_Wars_(film)|C-3PO]] ripoff&quot;.<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> *There appears to be at least two versions of the film, with dialogue being altered in certain places.

The next time Sqweeks is seen, the Decepticon arm is back, and remains for the entirety of the film.<br /> *Ironhide is depicted in a historical painting, but he was clearly seen arriving on Earth in the [[Transformers (film)|first film]].<br /> *Optimus remarks that he has not heard Bumblebee's voice &quot;since Cybertron fell&quot;. Bumblebee actually spoke with his real voice briefly at the end of the [[Transformers (film)|first film]], albeit it with a different voice actor.<br /> *How does Hot Rod have the Lamborgini chest in an old war photo if he selected the new disguise merely seconds ago?<br /> <br /> ===Technical/animation errors===<br /> *Topspin is depicted with Leadfoot's head instead of his own.<br /> *In at least one of the alternate dialogue versions of the film, when Barricade speaks at Stone Henge, his voice sounds much more like one of the Knights rather than his own.<br /> <br /> ===Geographic discontinuities===<br /> *When the authorities arrive at Burton's mansion, it is noted that &quot;TRF and MI6&quot; are in pursuit. In real life, MI6 is the UK's ''external'' intelligence agency; it is more likely that {{w|MI5}}, the UK's domestic intelligence agency, would be the British central government's agency present.<br /> <br /> ==Transformers references==<br /> * Quintessa is a loose adaptation of the [[Quintesson]]s - the recurring race of antagonistic extraterrestrials who terrorized both the Autobots and Decepticons in season 3 of the original 1980's cartoon. In the cartoon continuity, the Quintessons were the creators of the Transformers, in the same way that Quintessa claims to be in the film. Here, though, Quintessa seems to be physically based off of [[Quintus Prime]], a relatively new character introduced through 2013's ''[[Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus]]''; the decision to make the character female is something wholly new, although it may speak to some influence from [[Solus Prime]].<br /> * Unicron having a connection to the Earth seems inspired by the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'' cartoon; in that series, Unicron's alternate mode ''was'' the core of the Earth, with the rest of the planet having formed around his dormant body during his hibernation. Whether or not this corporeality holds true for this incarnation of Unicron remains to be seen.<br /> * When Optimus Prime falls under Quintessa's control, he is dubbed &quot;[[Nemesis Prime (disambiguation)|Nemesis Prime]]&quot;, an obvious reference to the evil clone of Optimus Prime that has appeared in many [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|conti]][[Nemesis Prime (G1)|nui]][[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|ties]].<br /> * Edmund Burton claims Cogman is a [[Headmaster (technology)|&quot;headmaster&quot;]], which is typically a human-sized bot that transforms into the head of a larger bot. Unfortunately, we don't actually see Cogman do anything like that.<br /> * [[Skullitron]] bares a resemblance to [[Bludgeon]], being a skull-faced transformer that wields swords.<br /> <br /> ==Other references==<br /> *Crosshairs calls Cogman a &quot;[[Star_Wars_(film)|C-3PO]] ripoff&quot;.<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> *There appears to be at least two versions of the film, with dialogue being altered in certain places. An example being Megatron's dialogue to Optimus when he breaks from of Quintessa's control. One version has him say &quot;I knew you couldn't do it. Your time is over, Prime!&quot; , while the second version has him say &quot;Quintessa, the most ruthless of our Gods, knew you couldn't do it. She knows I'm strong and you're weak.&quot; [[Nitro Zeus]]' dialogue has also been altered.<br /> <br /> ==Other editions==<br /> ==Adaptations==<br /> ==Music==<br /> ==Score==<br /> ==Home video releases==<br /> ==Theatrical posters==<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:TLK Poster wide Dragonstorm.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster Rethink Heroes.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster.JPG<br /> File:TLK Poster Stonehenge.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster Legend Secret.jpg|No, those are [[Pretender]]s, [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends]] are too small.<br /> File:TLK Poster Here Forever.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster IMAX 3D.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Optimus Prime.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Megatron.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Bumblebee.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Hound.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Hot Rod.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Cogman.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Burton.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Lennox.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Yeager.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Izabella.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Jimmy.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Wembly.jpg<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Reception==<br /> <br /> {{quote|[sighs] Here we go again.|BBC Radio 5 critic Mark Kermode on ''The Last Knight''&lt;ref&gt;[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ee6xh5AmQo Mark Kermode review]&lt;/ref&gt;}}<br /> <br /> After four films where critics hated it but the audience showered it with money, ''The Last Knight'' broke the trend by ''not'' being showered with money.

In real life, MI6 is the UK's ''external'' intelligence agency; it is more likely that {{w|MI5}}, the UK's domestic intelligence agency, would be the British central government's agency present.<br /> <br /> ==Transformers references==<br /> * Quintessa is a loose adaptation of the [[Quintesson]]s - the recurring race of antagonistic extraterrestrials who terrorized both the Autobots and Decepticons in season 3 of the original 1980's cartoon. In the cartoon continuity, the Quintessons were the creators of the Transformers, in the same way that Quintessa claims to be in the film. Here, though, Quintessa seems to be physically based off of [[Quintus Prime]], a relatively new character introduced through 2013's ''[[Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus]]''; the decision to make the character female is something wholly new, although it may speak to some influence from [[Solus Prime]].<br /> * Unicron having a connection to the Earth seems inspired by the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'' cartoon; in that series, Unicron's alternate mode ''was'' the core of the Earth, with the rest of the planet having formed around his dormant body during his hibernation. Whether or not this corporeality holds true for this incarnation of Unicron remains to be seen.<br /> * When Optimus Prime falls under Quintessa's control, he is dubbed &quot;[[Nemesis Prime (disambiguation)|Nemesis Prime]]&quot;, an obvious reference to the evil clone of Optimus Prime that has appeared in many [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|conti]][[Nemesis Prime (G1)|nui]][[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|ties]].<br /> * Edmund Burton claims Cogman is a [[Headmaster (technology)|&quot;headmaster&quot;]], which is typically a human-sized bot that transforms into the head of a larger bot. Unfortunately, we don't actually see Cogman do anything like that.<br /> * [[Skullitron]] bares a resemblance to [[Bludgeon]], being a skull-faced transformer that wields swords.<br /> <br /> ==Other references==<br /> *Crosshairs calls Cogman a &quot;[[Star_Wars_(film)|C-3PO]] ripoff&quot;.<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> *There appears to be at least two versions of the film, with dialogue being altered in certain places. An example being Megatron's dialogue to Optimus when he breaks from of Quintessa's control. One version has him say &quot;I knew you couldn't do it. Your time is over, Prime!&quot; , while the second version has him say &quot;Quintessa, the most ruthless of our Gods, knew you couldn't do it. She knows I'm strong and you're weak.&quot; [[Nitro Zeus]]' dialogue has also been altered.<br /> <br /> ==Other editions==<br /> ==Adaptations==<br /> ==Music==<br /> ==Score==<br /> ==Home video releases==<br /> ==Theatrical posters==<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:TLK Poster wide Dragonstorm.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster Rethink Heroes.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster.JPG<br /> File:TLK Poster Stonehenge.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster Legend Secret.jpg|No, those are [[Pretender]]s, [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends]] are too small.<br /> File:TLK Poster Here Forever.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster IMAX 3D.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Optimus Prime.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Megatron.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Bumblebee.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Hound.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Hot Rod.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Cogman.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Burton.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Lennox.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Yeager.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Izabella.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Jimmy.jpg<br /> File:TLK Poster char Wembly.jpg<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Reception==<br /> <br /> {{quote|[sighs] Here we go again.|BBC Radio 5 critic Mark Kermode on ''The Last Knight''&lt;ref&gt;[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ee6xh5AmQo Mark Kermode review]&lt;/ref&gt;}}<br /> <br /> After four films where critics hated it but the audience showered it with money, ''The Last Knight'' broke the trend by ''not'' being showered with money.
