'''Brimstone''' is getting older, but he's determined to make sure that everyone realizes he's still the big bad "king of the road." He's kept this self-declared title by roughing up those who get in his way, but [[Hubcap (TF 2010)|Hubcap]], the only Autobot who dared oppose him, is determined to finally put an end to his bullying now that the two are on [[Earth]].

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-10'''

:Part of the initial wave of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] Scout-class toys, Brimstone transforms into a "chopper" motorcycle of undetermined model. In cycle mode he has a working kickstand to keep him upright. In robot mode, aside from the triple-bladed "hands" made up from his front tire, he also has small flip-out "fingers" hidden in the wheel hubs for when he doesn't need to slice stuff up.

:This mold was also used to make [[Chopsaw]].

* Brimstone's [[alternate mode]] is based on a motorcycle in [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]]'s garage that [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] momentarily hides behind in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]].''
* Someone should tell him that he pissed [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]] off.
* Much of Brimstone's robot mode looks, his transformation scheme and his head design are based on the Cybertronian design [[Don Figueroa]] made for [[Manterror]] to be used in flashbacks in the IDW ''[[Transformers, Beast Wars: The Gathering|Beast Wars: The Gathering]]'' comic book, with the notable exception that he has an Earth mode instead of turning into a Cybertronian motorbike.{{fact}}

:''Beastbox is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''
[[Image:Nefarious 1 Beastbox Enraged.jpg|thumb|right|400px|GRAPE APE! GRAPE APE!]]
'''Beastbox''' is one of [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]'s minions. Appearing to take the form of a gorilla, or other large ape, he tends to attack in a state of extreme rage.

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Under the command of Soundwave, Beastbox was a crew member of the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'' on its mission to locate a [[Star Harvester]]. Together with [[Rumble (ROTF)|Rumble]], he tried to keep the ship under control after it was damaged in a collision with the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]], but in the end the crew discarded it in order to pursue the Ark on a [[Longshot (DOTM)|smaller ship]]. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1}}

After [[human]]s who were unrelated to [[NEST]] intervened in a battle between [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s, Beastbox was among the minions Soundwave dispatched to attack this new human threat, leaving one alive for interrogation. The operation was not a success, and eventually, Soundwave was forced to pull out his forces, including Beastbox. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 1|Nefarious #1}}
Beastbox later joined [[Buzzsaw (ROTF)|Buzzsaw]], Rumble, [[Dirt Boss (ROTF)|Dirt Boss]] and [[Ratbat (ROTF)|Ratbat]] in saving the captured Soundwave from a [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] led Autobot convoy in [[New Mexico]]. Beastbox battled [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] until Bumblebee, seeing his team being overwhelmed, pulled out, allowing the Decepticons to retrieve Soundwave.{{storylink|Nefarious issue 3|Nefarious #3}} Soundwave tracked [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] back to the [[Initiative base]] in eastern [[California]]. After Dirt Boss broke through the outer defenses, Rumble and Beastbox were sent in to face a bunch of robot tanks. The tanks blasted at Beastbox as he ripped into several of their number. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 4|Nefarious #4}}

[[Image:RisingStorm3 Soundwave&Minions.jpg|left|thumb|250px]]
Beastbox accompanied Soundwave and other Decepticons as they ambushed [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]], and [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]]. In the fight, he and Ravage tackled Elita-One, and he bit down on her shoulder. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}} After Elita-One's death, courtesy of [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], Beastbox joined Soundwave; but Chromia attempted suicide by setting off a bomb which caught Beastbox in the blast. It is unknown if Beastbox survived. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

Knock Out (ROTF)

{{disambig3|Knockout}}
:''Knock Out is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''
[[Image:Nefarious 2 Knock out.jpg|thumb|200px|]]

'''Knock Out''' is a bit of a show-off. While quite flashy and skilled on the battlefield, he's also really insecure, and very desperate to receive attention from his comrades. He's also curious about this [[combiner|combination retrofit]] everyone's so crazy about.

His big dream is to lead his own special operations group.<ref>Knock Out toy bio</ref>

==Fiction==
===''The Veiled Threat''===
A recent arrival to Earth, the hot-headed Knockout questioned the Autobots' alliance with the humans in [[NEST]] and Optimus Prime's concern for their safety. He didn't think the loss of a few humans "among their swarming billions" would be missed.

Knockout was sent to [[Peru]] along with [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]], [[Robert Epps|Epps]], and [[Petr Andronov]] to investigate a Decepticon signal. As soon as Knockout sighted their enemies, he rushed off, only to come running back as [[Blademaster]] and [[Ruination (ROTF)|Ruination]] chased him. After Longarm slapped him for being such an idiot, Knockout actually did a good job of helping in the ensuing fight, even saving the older Autobot's life by holding Ruination back.

Later, when the team was hunting [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] and [[Jolt (Movie)|Deadend]] in Rome, Knockout was the one most capable of navigating the tight streets. He once again ran off on his own, but this time, he had good intentions; he got the two Decepticons to crash into each other, damaging them (albeit not severely) and annoying the hell out of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Knockout watched along with the other Autobots when the Decepticon commander challenged [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] to a fight, but they soon found themselves dealing with him instead when he tricked and trapped Optimus. But the Autobot leader soon arose, causing Starscream to take flight.

Later, Epps and [[William Lennox|Major Lennox]] were relaxing on the beach on [[Diego Garcia]] when Knockout came to them, saying something was about to happen and wondering what "shanghaied" meant. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}

===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Knock Out was one of the Autobots sent to [[Florida]] to investigate the convergence to five unknown [[spark]] traces. However, as the team closed in on their target, they came under attack by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and were forced to fight back. The Decepticon soon withdrew, but his attack had distracted Knock Out and the others from the investigation, and the spark traces were already gone. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 1|Nefarious #1}} After the mission, Knock Out returned to [[Edwards Air Force Base]] and watched as [[Theodore Galloway|Director Galloway]] complained to Lennox that he hadn't been informed about new reinforcements like Knock Out and [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]]. Apparently, Galloway was unaware that Knock Out had already been part of NEST for quite some time. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 2|Nefarious #2}}

After Soundwave was captured by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], Knock Out and his fellow cadets, Jolt and [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]], helped [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] transport the Decepticon spymaster to a secure location. They were shot down en route and forced to deal with [[Dirt Boss (ROTF)|Dirt Boss]] and Soundwave's "familiars". Knock Out tried to flatten [[Ratbat (ROTF)|Ratbat]] like a bug on his windscreen, but soon it became clear the Decepticons were too much for the small squad to deal with. Having recently lost [[Breakaway (ROTF)|Breakaway]] in battle, Bumblebee deliberately freed Soundwave and let the Decepticons have him, rather than risk another death among his troops. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 3|Nefarious #3}}

[[Image:RisingStorm3 KnockOutcrashed.JPG|right|thumb|130px|"Yeeehaaaa!"]]
Knock Out joined the rest of the NEST team when they tracked down the mysterious [[Initiative]] at Crater Lake. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5|Nefarious #5}} They were nearly destroyed by the artificial [[Allspark]] powered created by [[Carter Newell]], but the insane human's reach exceed his grasp, and the power was taken away from him. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6|Nefarious #6}}
Some time later, Knock Out was present at Diego Garcia when news reached NEST that [[Sam Witwicky]] was under attack from Decepticons. While the other Autobots moved out, he, Jolt and Dune Runner were left behind to keep an eye on the Autobot refugees who had earlier been liberated from the Initiative. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} Knock Out was spending his time on duty playing cards (and cheating) with two human soldiers when [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] suddenly arrived on the island. He was easy prey for the powerful Decepticon, who killed him and threw his corpse through the base's wall. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

===IDW ''Dark of the Moon'' adaptation===
Shortly after his death, a grave was made for him. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 1}}

:Knock Out is part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Scout Class figures. He transforms into a green racing motorcycle. Similar to [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], his right hand is morphed in a plasma cannon. The vehicle cowling panels, which become leg kibble in robot mode, are only held in place by pegs and tend to fall off during conversion. His waist does not peg into his torso and becomes dislodged by simply moving his legs (as seen in Hasbro's stock photography on the right).

A recent arrival to Earth, the hot-headed Knockout questioned the Autobots' alliance with the humans in [[NEST]] and Optimus Prime's concern for their safety. He didn't think the loss of a few humans "among their swarming billions" would be missed.

Knockout was sent to [[Peru]] along with [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]], [[Robert Epps|Epps]], and [[Petr Andronov]] to investigate a Decepticon signal. As soon as Knockout sighted their enemies, he rushed off, only to come running back as [[Blademaster]] and [[Ruination (ROTF)|Ruination]] chased him. After Longarm slapped him for being such an idiot, Knockout actually did a good job of helping in the ensuing fight, even saving the older Autobot's life by holding Ruination back.

Later, when the team was hunting [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] and [[Jolt (Movie)|Deadend]] in Rome, Knockout was the one most capable of navigating the tight streets. He once again ran off on his own, but this time, he had good intentions; he got the two Decepticons to crash into each other, damaging them (albeit not severely) and annoying the hell out of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Knockout watched along with the other Autobots when the Decepticon commander challenged [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] to a fight, but they soon found themselves dealing with him instead when he tricked and trapped Optimus. But the Autobot leader soon arose, causing Starscream to take flight.

Later, Epps and [[William Lennox|Major Lennox]] were relaxing on the beach on [[Diego Garcia]] when Knockout came to them, saying something was about to happen and wondering what "shanghaied" meant. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}

===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Knock Out was one of the Autobots sent to [[Florida]] to investigate the convergence to five unknown [[spark]] traces. However, as the team closed in on their target, they came under attack by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and were forced to fight back. The Decepticon soon withdrew, but his attack had distracted Knock Out and the others from the investigation, and the spark traces were already gone. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 1|Nefarious #1}} After the mission, Knock Out returned to [[Edwards Air Force Base]] and watched as [[Theodore Galloway|Director Galloway]] complained to Lennox that he hadn't been informed about new reinforcements like Knock Out and [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]]. Apparently, Galloway was unaware that Knock Out had already been part of NEST for quite some time. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 2|Nefarious #2}}

After Soundwave was captured by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], Knock Out and his fellow cadets, Jolt and [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]], helped [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] transport the Decepticon spymaster to a secure location. They were shot down en route and forced to deal with [[Dirt Boss (ROTF)|Dirt Boss]] and Soundwave's "familiars". Knock Out tried to flatten [[Ratbat (ROTF)|Ratbat]] like a bug on his windscreen, but soon it became clear the Decepticons were too much for the small squad to deal with. Having recently lost [[Breakaway (ROTF)|Breakaway]] in battle, Bumblebee deliberately freed Soundwave and let the Decepticons have him, rather than risk another death among his troops. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 3|Nefarious #3}}

Knock Out joined the rest of the NEST team when they tracked down the mysterious [[Initiative]] at Crater Lake. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5|Nefarious #5}} They were nearly destroyed by the artificial [[Allspark]] powered created by [[Carter Newell]], but the insane human's reach exceed his grasp, and the power was taken away from him. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6|Nefarious #6}}
Some time later, Knock Out was present at Diego Garcia when news reached NEST that [[Sam Witwicky]] was under attack from Decepticons. While the other Autobots moved out, he, Jolt and Dune Runner were left behind to keep an eye on the Autobot refugees who had earlier been liberated from the Initiative. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} Knock Out was spending his time on duty playing cards (and cheating) with two human soldiers when [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] suddenly arrived on the island. He was easy prey for the powerful Decepticon, who killed him and threw his corpse through the base's wall. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

:Knock Out is part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Scout Class figures. He transforms into a green racing motorcycle. Similar to [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], his right hand is morphed in a plasma cannon. The vehicle cowling panels, which become leg kibble in robot mode, are only held in place by pegs and tend to fall off during conversion.

'''Dirt Boss''' has ''plans''. His small size has condemned him to the role of a lowly underling, but he's a master manipulator, and takes every opportunity to out-maneuver and undermine his rivals and superiors. He's a skilled and agile warrior, as well, making it likely that he'll fulfill his ambitions—eventually.

They discovered a hidden base beneath a garbage dump, but fled after they accidentally activated its self-destruct mechanism. While fleeing, they were intercepted by the [[Autobot]]s [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], who promptly destroyed both of Dirt Boss' teammates. Dirt Boss pretended to surrender, buying him a few moments until Soundwave and Ravage swooped in and attacked the Autobots.

:''Smokescreen is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:FAB-Smokescreen-art.jpg|right|300px|thumb|So apparently visible sound is yellow. Somebody tell [http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix4/klawulysses.htm Klaw].]]

When the Autobots need some [[Decepticon]] sensors scrambled, they call in their chief diversionary tactician, '''Smokescreen'''. With an array of specially designed weapons and tools at his disposal, ranging from sonic burst weapons to magnetic smoke bombs and oil slicks, this 'bot is a master of distraction.

{{TOCclear}}

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance3_Smokescreen_Prime.jpg|left|thumb|150px|]]
Many years ago, Smokescreen was a member of the Cybertronian defense force under the command of [[Megatron (Movie)|Protector Megatron]]. After the discovery of [[The Fallen|ancient relic]] and an alien attack on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}} Protector Megatron changed the military's mission of defense to one of offensive war. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}} Smokescreen was sent with [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] and other security officers to arrest science division leader [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] on trumped-up charges of treason. What they didn't know was the military was leading all of them into a trap, and that all bar Optimus were marked for death. After the group was shelled by [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] in [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]], Smokescreen laid down a [[Disruption Cloud]] to cover their escape, though he was concerned for Optimus's safety against so many enemies. Optimus merely replied that he would "make do" - by dropping a city on Starscream's would-be assassins. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

[[Image:ReignofStarscream3 AirRaid Smokescreen die.jpg|200px|thumb|]]

After the fugitives established a hide out at [[Burthov]], Smokescreen acted as a sentry guard and assisted [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] in the capture of the disenchanted [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} He was later present in a crowd of Autobots watching as the Decepticons launched the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]''. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} Years later, as the civil war came to a climax, Optimus Prime revealed his plan to capture the [[AllSpark]] and ferry it away aboard the ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]''. As it turned out, Prime's real plan was to blast the Cube into deep space, buying the Autobots valuable time, and then chase after it in their ship. Smokescreen was one of those who volunteered to crew the ship during the search. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}

Thousands of years later, following the defeat of Megatron on [[Earth]], Smokescreen was part of a small Autobot unit led by [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] that tracked [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], now the leader of the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]], to his base on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]]. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}} After laying down a diversionary [[Ion Cloud]], Smokescreen and the others made short work of the [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drones that the Decepticons sent against them. He narrowly escaped being sniped by [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]], thanks to Arcee, but soon fell victim to [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]]'s sonic weaponry. He attempted to evacuate the fallen [[Air Raid (Movie)|Air Raid]], but they were both blown to oblivion by Starscream. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}}

{{note|Despite his apparent death, Smokescreen reappears in Pre-''Dark of the Moon'' comic books, mostly likely meaning he was resurrected or survived the explosion, This is further supported in [[Convergence chapter 4]], where [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] only finds two dead Autobots and not four.}}

Smokescreen, along with [[Brawn (ROTF)|Brawn]] and [[Wideload (ROTF)|Wideload]], had the misfortune to be on duty at [[NEST]]'s [[South Africa|South African]] prison when [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] staged a jailbreak! He worried that the Decepticons would find a way past their inhibitor clamps (they did), worried they couldn't hold the Decepticons without back-up (they couldn't), ''really'' worried when Brawn said to take cover behind him only to be knocked down, and was told he should be worrying more by a Decepticon who smashed him into the ground. Luckily, reinforcements arrived before Smokescreen could be killed. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}}

Armed with a disruptor rifle, jamming missiles and the ability to produce smokescreens, Smokescreen fought alongside his fellow Autobots against the Decepticons... or sometimes alongside Decepticons against his fellow Autobots. Nobody was particularly loyal during this conflict. Under the command of [[Optimus Primal]], Smokescreen may also have fought in the "Energon Wars" against [[Megatron (BW)|Predacon Megatron]]'s troops. {{storylink|3D Battle-Card Game}}

*'''Sonic Shock Smokescreen''' (Fast Action Battlers, 2008)
**''Accessories'': Missile

: A [[redeco]] of [[Jazz (Movie)#Fast Action Battlers|"Ion Blast" Autobot Jazz]], "Sonic Shock" Smokescreen sports a red and blue colour scheme based very closely upon [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]]. In vehicle mode he's kind of a squat and cutified Pontiac Solstice, while in robot mode he bears a decent resemblance to various Generation 1 hood-chest Transformers. Amusingly, [[Fast Action Battlers]] Smokescreen's head is mounted on a piece of plastic extending from the roof/windshield piece, just like the [[Smokescreen (G1)#Toys|original Generation 1 Smokescreen toy]]. His articulation is limited to his shoulders, hips and knees, and he has a spring-loaded missile launcher in place of his left hand.

**''Accessories:'' Telescoping "sword" (rifle)

:Smokescreen is an extensive redeco of Deluxe class [[Jazz (Movie)#Deluxe Class toys|Jazz]]. Unlike most redecos called Smokescreen, he isn't a slavish recreation of Generation 1 Smokescreen's colours, instead favoring a predominantly blue scheme with red and silver for detailing. As he is a redeco of the regular Jazz mold, he comes with the telescoping "sword" rifle, instead of the more fiction-accurate (for both Jazz and Smokescreen) Crescent Cannon that came with [[Jazz (Movie)#Deluxe_Class_toys|Final Battle Jazz]].

**''Card number'': '''12'''

: Smokescreen is a 29-point "Uncommon" piece in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]. Constructed of punch-out pieces from randomly-packed plastic cards (two full robots per pack), he can be assembled into his car mode, or into a rather stumpy robot mode. One of his blaster-weapons is held in his right hand, the other can mount on either shoulder. His design is largely based on [[Smokescreen (G1)|''Alternators'' Smokescreen]], except without all the rally markings.

: He uses the same construction as the [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] and Jazz cards. This style is similar to the one used by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], [[Earth]]-mode [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], and [[Swerve (Movie)|Swerve]].

: This was actually the first "appearance" of the movieverse Smokescreen.

==Notes==
*Whilst looking virtually identical to Jazz, Smokescreen does have a few subtle differences in his earlier IDW appearances. Mainly being his different weapons, as well as his face; his facial features look somewhat different from how Jazz is seen and his visor, which glows orange, appears to be permanently fixed into place, as opposed to Jazz whose visor can retract when need be. In Titan, he was given a mouthplate and a gun for an arm (recalling his [[Fast Action Battlers]] toy) to further distance the two 'bots visually.

:''Armorhide is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]] portion of the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:ReignofStarscream4 Armorhide.jpg|right|250px|thumb|My toy looks a ''little'' different...]]
'''Armorhide''' figures that the only way to beat the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] is to beat them at their own game. So he's extremely nasty, underhanded, and ruthless to the point of being murderous in combat. This puts him at odds with his teammates and earns him reprimands from [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], but frankly Prime can stuff it in his [[reactor linkage]] as far as Armorhide is concerned. At least when he's paired up with [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], the mute Autobot can't raise a fuss.

==Fiction==
===Titan Magazines Movie comics===
{{notetitantlg}}
[[Image:Armorhide_drawhisfire.jpg|left|250px|thumb|That's it there. Good, eh? You should buy it!]]

Armorhide was part of the Autobot reinforcements. He was quite gung-ho about it, pointing out how the planet was doomed "unless ''we'' [did] something about it!" to [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] - even though she already bloody knew this. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} When [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] attacked, Armorhide declared he'd draw the Decepticon's fire, as he could take more punishment than the others - shockingly, this didn't work against a foe that can fly really fast. Armorhide joined his comrades in heading for Earth to make a last-ditch stand. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}}

His half of the team landed in [[Savannah]], and assisted [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] in a doomed battle. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} Mid-battle, he decided to try being coloured white with blue bits, and then covered Ratchet as the medic made a last-ditch attempt to destroy the corrupted All Spark. The mission done, they withdrew. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}} He later decided to go back to black.

[[Image:RatchetArmorhide_letsdoit.jpg|right|400px|thumb|And my old ''Cybertron'' toy too!]]

He hated sentry duty, and was also rubbish at it. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}}

In one engagement to protect human infrastructure, he worked with [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and Arcee to protect an Alaskan oil pipeline from [[Payload (Movie)|Payloads]]. Bumblebee gave the orders and that order was to hold position, so naturally Armorhide transformed into truck mode and ''rammed'' the drone forces. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

With the two of them, he was placed under [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide's]] command on a mission to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. He also found the time to paint himself green. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 17|Return to Cybertron: Part 1}} He then changed his mind and decided to be blue-and-white again. More worrying than fashion, however, were a Decepticon force powered by [[Nucleon]]; even ''he'' knew it would be stupid to have a straight fight, and said as much. Instead, he and Arcee provided a distraction by making a tactical withdrawal. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron: Part 2}}

The chaos of [[Unicron]]'s arrival ended the battle with the Decepticons, though Armorhide was annoyed to hear [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]] thought [[Unicron|planet-warping death-gods]] were more important than killing him. He also found the time to go back to black. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} When Optimus Prime arrived and united both sides to drain the Nucleon from Unicron's new body, Armorhide was dispatched to work with Bumblebee in doing the actual draining. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

On the way back, he was one of the gunnery men on the [[Straxus (Movie)|Straxus]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Hard Target}}

===IDW ''Transformers'' Movie comics===

Many years ago, Armorhide was a civilian during the reign of Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and science division leader [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]]. This peaceful existence ended when a [[The Fallen|mysterious relic]] was discovered outside the temple of [[Simfur]], and Megatron changed the military's mission of defending [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to open conquest, Armorhide joined with Optimus ''Prime's'' new faction, the Autobots. He was hiding out at an Autobot facility when [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] arrived to offer his allegiance to Optimus. During the subsequent civil war, He was present when Optimus Prime revealed his plan to capture the [[AllSpark|All Spark]], and due to the lack of space on the ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]'', some Autobots would have to stay behind. Armorhide was among those who volunteered to stay. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4}}

[[Image:ReignofStarscream5 Crosshairs Armorhide.jpg|left|250px|thumb|''I SAID you should BUY IT.'' You lookin' for trouble?!]]

Thousands of years later and shortly after the destruction of Megatron and the Cube on [[Earth]], Armorhide part of a group of Autobots awaiting the order to move out and rescue fellow Autobots who had been captured by the Decepticons to build [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] new All Spark cube. With the return of [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], they moved out. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Four}}

When [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]]'s forces betrayed [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] at Simfur, Armorhide, [[Crosshairs (Movie)|Crosshairs]]. Clocker and Arcee created havoc by destroying the new [[AllSpark|All Spark]] cube and fighting the rebel Decepticon forces. Armorhide was pinned by [[Ramjet (Movie)|Ramjet]], and would have been killed if Crosshairs hadn't lopped the Decepticon's head off. He managed to escape with the other Autobots when Dreadwing's starship came crashing down to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]], destroying the once-magnificent Decepticon city. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Five}}

Through unknown means, he turned up on Earth and was captured and brainwashed by the [[Initiative]] into being one of their soldiers. His colours were bleached out and he was thrown at an Autobot/[[NEST]] team in the Initiative's final battle. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5}} He was taken in alive, and magically [[#Revenge of the Fallen|changed bodies]] mid-battle! {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6}}

[[Image:Nefarious6 Armorhide.JPG|right|thumb|240px]]

Along with the other brainwashed Autobots, he was eager to return to battle but Optimus told them they still needed to recuperate after the mental trauma they'd suffered. Armorhide tried to refute this but accidentally proved Optimus wrong when he kept forgetting he was no longer on Cybertron and not talking to [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1}} While Optimus and his team went to save [[Sam Witwicky]] from a Decepticon attack, Armorhide and the other refugees remained on [[Diego Garcia]], nostalgically staring at pictures from Cybertron's past. In their docile state, they were found and killed by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]]. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3}}

Armorhide's boredom was relieved by the discovery of [[Dirge (ROTF)|Dirge]] trying (and failing) to hide amongst the jets of NEST.

*'''Armorhide''' (Scout, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Crane-cannon, Key

: Part of the third wave of Target-[[exclusive]] Scouts, Armorhide is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' series [[Armorhide (Cybertron)|Armorhide]] toy, transforming into a debadged first-generation Volvo FH Globetrotter semi tractor-trailer cab with hook-crane attachment. Plugging a [[Cyber Key]] into the back of his cab flips his grill down, exposing a rack of eight (non-firing) missiles. This feature is also available in his robot mode. Unlike most ''Cybertron''-mold toys, Armorhide can store a Cyber Planet Key using tabs on his hook-crane/rifle. He came with a black-bordered [[Planet X (Cybertron)|Planet X]]-mold Key with the [[Sector Seven]] insignia stamped on it.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]], and Armorhide's toy itself was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Huffer (SG)|Huffer]].

He features two [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmicks: a spring-loaded front end, retracting his front wheels into his chest during transformation, and sliding panels on each of his shins that retract when the tail light/knee caps are moved into place.

:In robot mode, Armorhide's rifle can be back-mounted to make an over-shoulder cannon, or held in his hand. He also has wheels on the soles of his feet, which let him roll in robot mode... in theory, at least, since his heel-wheels rub against his legs, keeping them from spinning freely.

:This mold was later redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Comettor (DOTM)|Comettor]].

==Notes==
* Though the bio on his 2007 Scout class figure brands him as an Autobot, his "faction" marking is that of [[Sector Seven]]. It is possible that he is hiding out in the Sector Seven motor pool, maybe even as the cab for the [[Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit|Mobile Command Unit]].
* Even more interesting, his Cyber Key has a Decepticon symbol on its backside. So Armorhide is even more than meets the eye...spooky.
* Armorhide's 2007 Scout class figure cardback claims his wrecker-arm-cannon has a spring-loaded projectile. It don't. Whoops.
* Twice, he's been coloured like the Cybertron Armorhide in the Titan comics. He was also once coloured green.

'''Blazemaster''' is thought by many of his Autobot comrades to be haywire. He will fly over [[Decepticon]]s, intentionally alerting them of his presence. Once that's done, he starts dropping corrosive gel on them, watching as they run for their lives. You can point out to him that he's just causing collateral damage, but as far as Blazemaster's concerned, his type of hard-and-fast action saves lives and you can shove it!

[[Image:Titan16_blazemasterc'mon.jpg|right|thumb|250px|All ''right!'' Thanks, [[Jon Davis-Hunt|Jon]]!]]

Blazemaster was working with [[NEST]] in [[Egypt|Cairo]], trying to bring in the escaped [[Reverb (ROTF)|Reverb]]. The Decepticon knew of Blazemaster, who decided to cut off his retreat with ''a huge-ass wall of FIERY DEATH'' and then blew him through a building with a bomb strike. Blazemaster was then a bit shocked to find NEST ''weren't'' happy that he'd set a huge part of Cairo on effing fire rather than following the "contained capture" briefing. He snarled back that he was the type of go-getting hardass who got things ''done'' and didn't mess about with all that second-guessing pencil-pusher stuff that got people killed, only to be told by NEST's [[Klammer]] that Blazemaster's actions were just turning public opinion against them.

The Autobot bravely went for a sulk, deciding from that putdown and the growing anti-Autobot feeling that his talents were wasted on Earth and he should leave. To his surprise, he was then intercepted by [[Skywarp (ROTF)|Skywarp]]...who, despite a brief clash, revealed he wasn't trying to fight him but ''recruit him'' for [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon's]] paramilitary. His actions in Cairo showed he had potential! Blazemaster was horrified that the Decepticons thought he was a natural for their unit and rejected the offer, but Skywarp flew off, telling him to live with the fact that he had all the credentials to be a villain... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}

*'''Blazemaster''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-18'''
**''Accessories:'' Two-part rotor/spinning combat blade

: Blazemaster transforms into a gold and blue [[wikipedia:Eurocopter Dauphin|Eurocopter Dauphin]] helicopter. The cockpit has translucent blue plastic, through which Blazemaster's head is amusingly visible. Channel 7 Action News tampographs are on both sides of the fuselage, and 7 News tampos on the tail. The top propeller can be spun using a gear-driven action by pressing the small blue button just under it. The tail rotor cannot move.

: In robot mode, the top rotor can be used as a spinning weapon, or split in half to sit on both arms. There are some issues with this, however, as the propeller does not like to sit in the position shown in the instructions (it tends to rotate down), and the second piece does not fit snugly into its socket, which has one side open to accommodate conversion. There are also a pair of thumbs inside the engine cowling halves that convert into Blazemaster's arms, despite him not having actual hands.

: Blazemaster's deco is different from the stock toy photograph shown on the back of the card, which shows many of the white areas colored gold.

: This mold was also used to make ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Evac (Movie)|Evac]] and [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'' (2010) toyline]] [[Tailwhip]].

==Notes==
* During part of 2010, [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/transformers-toy-giveaway.cfm Hasbro did a promotion] wherein US fans could receive three free Deluxes in exchange for receipts showing the purchase of $25 or more of select Transformers product. As noted in [http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=69645&st=0 this thread over at Allspark.com], and later confirmed by [http://web.archive.org/web/20110221171904/http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HT83971G3 this listing here], Blazemaster was one of a pool of eight figures (all from the same wave) from which the free Deluxes were drawn, with several people having noted receiving him.
* The only U.S. television station using the "Channel 7 Action News" name is [[wikipedia:WXYZ-TV|WXYZ-TV]] in [[Detroit]]. No word on if their traffic copter is ''actually'' a pyromaniac space robot.

The Autobot took charge, telling his partners things were likely to get ugly, and ordered Smokescreen to stay behind him while he, having tougher armour, soaked up enemy firepower. Unfortunately, it proved too much and despite his determination, Brawn fell before Bludgeon's might. He would have died if reinforcements hadn't turned up, and was horrified when (to prevent civilian casualties) those reinforcements let the Decepticons go, in full view of the human media. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}}

Brawn, at some point, was captured and brainwashed by the [[Initiative]] into being one of their soldiers. His colours were altered and he was thrown at an Autobot/[[NEST]] team in the Initiative's final battle. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5}} {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6}}

Along with the other brainwashed Autobots, he was eager to return to battle but Optimus told them they still needed to recuperate after the mental trauma they'd suffered. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1}} While Optimus and his team went to save [[Sam Witwicky]] from a Decepticon attack, Brawn and the other refugees remained on [[Diego Garcia]], nostalgically staring at pictures from Cybertron's past.

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen:]] [[N.E.S.T. Global Alliance]]'' Brawn transforms into a modified [[NEST]] [[Wikipedia:Hummer HX|Hummer HX]] attack vehicle. He is armed with a pair of removable pistols with grooves in the handles (which, in an undocumented feature, can be clipped to the thin ridges on his back or shoulder [[kibble]]) and a non-removable machine gun that can be positioned to aim over either shoulder in robot mode and is mounted on his roof in vehicle mode. As another undocumented feature, his head is mounted on a jointed neck strut, and can be pushed back to reveal his neck and bring his head up past his shoulders. The bars at the back are also compatible with [[C joint|the 3mm clips]] featured in later toylines.

:This mold was also used to make [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers:]] [[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[Fallback (TF 2010)|Fallback]].

==Notes==
*Brawn's overall design and color scheme are, of course, an homage to his [[Brawn (G1)|G1 counterpart]]. Specifically, the robot mode details and proportions are heavily based on the details of his original ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' [[Mini Vehicle]] [[Brawn (G1)#Generation 1 2|toy]], with his head and the panel kibble on his arms being specific examples.
*Brawn's design appears to have been used as the basis for the [[Robot Powered Machines]]-original character, [[Rollbar (RPM)|Rollbar]].

'''Blazemaster''' is thought by many of his Autobot comrades to be haywire. He will fly over [[Decepticon]]s, intentionally alerting them of his presence. Once that's done, he starts dropping corrosive gel on them, watching as they run for their lives. You can point out to him that he's just causing collateral damage, but as far as Blazemaster's concerned, his type of hard-and-fast action saves lives and you can shove it!

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

[[Image:Titan16_blazemasterc'mon.jpg|right|thumb|250px|All ''right!'' Thanks, [[Jon Davis-Hunt|Jon]]!]]

Blazemaster was working with [[NEST]] in [[Egypt|Cairo]], trying to bring in the escaped [[Reverb (ROTF)|Reverb]]. The Decepticon knew of Blazemaster, who decided to cut off his retreat with ''a huge-ass wall of FIERY DEATH'' and then blew him through a building with a bomb strike. Blazemaster was then a bit shocked to find NEST ''weren't'' happy that he'd set a huge part of Cairo on effing fire rather than following the "contained capture" briefing. He snarled back that he was the type of go-getting hardass who got things ''done'' and didn't mess about with all that second-guessing pencil-pusher stuff that got people killed, only to be told by NEST's [[Klammer]] that Blazemaster's actions were just turning public opinion against them.

The Autobot bravely went for a sulk, deciding from that putdown and the growing anti-Autobot feeling that his talents were wasted on Earth and he should leave. To his surprise, he was then intercepted by [[Skywarp (ROTF)|Skywarp]]...who, despite a brief clash, revealed he wasn't trying to fight him but ''recruit him'' for [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon's]] paramilitary. His actions in Cairo showed he had potential! Blazemaster was horrified that the Decepticons thought he was a natural for their unit and rejected the offer, but Skywarp flew off, telling him to live with the fact that he had all the credentials to be a villain... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}

*'''Blazemaster''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-18'''
**''Accessories:'' Two-part rotor/spinning combat blade

: Blazemaster transforms into a gold and blue [[wikipedia:Eurocopter Dauphin|Eurocopter Dauphin]] helicopter. The cockpit has translucent blue plastic, through which Blazemaster's head is amusingly visible. Channel 7 Action News tampographs are on both sides of the fuselage, and 7 News tampos on the tail. The top propeller can be spun using a gear-driven action by pressing the small blue button just under it. The tail rotor cannot move.

: In robot mode, the top rotor can be used as a spinning weapon, or split in half to sit on both arms. There are some issues with this, however, as the propeller does not like to sit in the position shown in the instructions (it tends to rotate down), and the second piece does not fit snugly into its socket, which has one side open to accommodate conversion. There are also a pair of thumbs inside the engine cowling halves that convert into Blazemaster's arms, despite him not having actual hands.

: Blazemaster's deco is different from the stock toy photograph shown on the back of the card, which shows many of the white areas colored gold.

: This mold was also used to make ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Evac (Movie)|Evac]] and [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'' (2010) toyline]] [[Tailwhip]].

==Notes==
* During part of 2010, [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/transformers-toy-giveaway.cfm Hasbro did a promotion] wherein US fans could receive three free Deluxes in exchange for receipts showing the purchase of $25 or more of select Transformers product. As noted in [http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=69645&st=0 this thread over at Allspark.com], and later confirmed by [http://web.archive.org/web/20110221171904/http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HT83971G3 this listing here], Blazemaster was one of a pool of eight figures (all from the same wave) from which the free Deluxes were drawn, with several people having noted receiving him.
* The only U.S. television station using the "Channel 7 Action News" name is [[wikipedia:WXYZ-TV|WXYZ-TV]] in [[Detroit]]. No word on if their traffic copter is ''actually'' a pyromaniac space robot.
* Blazemaster has ''quite'' a few similarities to [[Ben Procter]]'s [[:Image:ROTF Springer concept.jpg|concept art]] for the rejected character [[Springer (ROTF)|Springer]].
