== Buster Optimus Prime? ==

Where did you get all that info? Any officially released pictures? Or are you simply going off stolen Chinese toys? [[User:Gearshift|Gearshift]] 13:29, 17 July 2009 (EDT)
:He has appeared at the Tokyo toy show.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 13:41, 17 July 2009 (EDT)
:If you've seen me going around telling people off on this wiki, you should know I don't add info from unofficial toy leaks ;) They had Buster Optimus Prime on display at the Tokyo Toy Show. Two leader Primes with new parts, all painted up, and unlike Hasbro, what you see is usually what you get with TakaraTomy.--[[User:FFN|FFN]] 13:43, 17 July 2009 (EDT)
::Ooooh, nice. I don't do Takara, though. Except once, with Universe Hound. Besides, I prefer Faceplated. But I'm sorry for accusing you. :/ [[User:Gearshift|Gearshift]] 13:49, 17 July 2009 (EDT)

== ROTF Leader Voice Chip ==

My UK bought one says "I am Optimus Prime".

[[User:The Ideon|The Ideon]] 19:36, 11 September 2009 (EDT)

== ROTF Power Up Prime ==

Was the Voyager Class Powered Up Optimus Prime cancelled or is it still on hold? because on the Optimus Prime page, it says it was cancelled, but in the Jetfire page, it says it hasn't been released yet

== Dual Model Kit ==

Should the information of [http://i.imgur.com/0NkT3.jpg Dual Model Kit] be added? Or it should be waited until the prototype comes out? --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 10:23, 23 February 2011 (EST)

== DOTM Voyager Takara redeco ==

I saw some stock images of a redeco iof DOTM Voyager Prime with new parts for a non-powered-up truck mode: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/4/0/5/9/7/untitled_1298551815.png --[[User:TOM|TOM]] 15:46, 5 March 2011 (EST)

== Mini Optimus Prime ==

The one that came with Starosphere? I located his page on TFU.info, and this link is where it is: [http://www.tfu.info/2009/Autobot/MiniOptimusPrime/optimusprime.htm More information on Optimus Prime at TFU.info]

== ARRRGH!/ROTF Optimus Prime/Jetfire voyager class combo ==

There are too many loose ends for the subjects!!! This ends HERE!/O.P. article reads it's been cancelled but Jetfire's article it's upcoming-- no wait, it's all right! ... I think.{{unsigned|69.19.14.41}}

== Stealth Force Optimus Prime ==

The box depicts more weapons than the figure actually has, including a missile rack above the windscreen, missiles above the rear wheels and an opening panel on the large fuel tanks. Also it depicts the headlights being attached to the grill. {{unsigned|188.28.194.113}}

== Battle Blades Prime's well, blades. ==

Are they really removable? Because it says that in the accessories list, but the swords sure seem like they're just made of soft plastic and aren't really meant to be detached.
[[User:TheMZone|TheMZone]] 15:01, 21 July 2011 (EDT)
:They are, entirely BECAUSE the're soft plastic. They're held on by a mushroom joint, making them fairly easy to pop on and off. However, they can deform if you do it too much. Personally, I'd exercise caution. --[[User:King Starscream|King Starscream]] 13:00, 7 August 2011 (EDT)

== Revoltech and Robot Replicas ==

So, why is [[Robot Replicas]] under toys, but [[Revoltech]] is under [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/merchandise#Revoltech|merhandise]]? [[User:Item42|Item42]] 02:33, 23 August 2011 (EDT)
:My guess is it's because Revoltech is made by Kaiyodo, a third-party company, unrelated to Hasbro or Takara/Tomy -- [[User:Semysane|Semysane]] 03:10, 23 August 2011 (EDT)

:Aw, what the hell. [[User:TheMZone|TheMZone]] 23:25, 13 October 2011 (EDT)

You could add to the statement that he is billed as the largest Optimus toy that he actually '''is''' the largest Optimus toy. I checked and he stands taller than any of them - even Armada Jetfire/Prime - when measured from the top of the head. Of course, if you include the wings, he becomes a contender for Fortress Maximus' title.

== Striker Optimus ==

In the DOTM Striker Optimus section it says that it "retains Buster Optimus Prime's electronics" but actually uses the HFTD Leader Optimus' Voice. I'm not really sure what Buster Optimus Prime said when activating his voice feature, but I strictly remember the HFTD Optimus saying the same thing as my Striker Optimus, which is "We must stop the Decepticons!"

== Movie Trilogy Optimus ==

What's the status on this one? It looks like it's going to be an American release of Chronicles Optimus without the G1 toy included. Spotted by TFU at the Harbro Toy Fair. Has it actually been announced as a release, or just shown off without any indication? --[[User:King Starscream|King Starscream]] 17:09, 20 February 2012 (EST)
:[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=85139 It's out.] --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 22:26, 20 February 2012 (EST)
::Hasbro cheapened out, there's no gun included, just places for them. Can someone compare this release to the Chronicles release? I suspect either a retool, or an aborted feature; the center deckplate is designed to be removed and flipped over, and features an odd 4-directional tooling that carries over onto the top of the plating. [[User:Hida Atarasi|Hida Atarasi]] 20:29, 26 February 2012 (EST)
:::Got a hold on one myself. The instructions don't mention the piece moving, and I couldn't get mine to budge. I'll be taking a screwdriver to it tonight to find out why. For now let's say it's been retooled not to work. I also noticed the front section looks like a swivel of some kind and the back one looks like it should tilt, but neither one does. I'll also be testing the trailer with various other Primes I have to see if the trailer is usable with them. --[[User:King Starscream|King Starscream]] 13:20, 9 March 2012 (EST)
::: Looks like the center piece has squared-off pegs the length of the groove underneath. And the trailer works with ''Prime'' Voyager Prime (RiD version). So well in fact it seems intentional. --[[User:King Starscream|King Starscream]] 18:24, 9 March 2012 (EST)

== Amazon Exclusive Jetwing Optimus Prime ==

Is the toy really a redeco? The changes seem too minor to be one, it really looks more like a repaint other than a redeco.

:Technically, a redeco is ANY change in color layout. A repaint, in this case, being a redeco that only effects the paint. We use redeco more commonly on this wiki because more often than not there are changes to the plastic as well as the paint.

:But to answer your question, yes, there are some parts that were recast. The big guns, for one, were cast in red instead of grey, and some of the grey is a lighter shade than the original, Japanese-exclusive version of the mold. --[[User:King Starscream|King Starscream]] 16:11, 9 September 2013 (EDT)

== Movie Trilogy Series ==

The phrasing "Like the Chronicle release, it comes with a trailer" makes it unclear whether this is the ''same'' trailer as the one Chronicle Prime came with. Did both Chronicle and Trilogy Prime come with ''a'' trailer, or do they come with the ''same'' trailer, sculpt-wise?--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] 21:46, 18 November 2012 (EST)

==Gift Car Optimus==
Where is this thing listed as I see it neither the toys nor the merchandise and there's a new one coming out apparently--[[User:BlackStarscream|BlackStarscream]] ([[User talk:BlackStarscream|talk]]) 15:35, 9 June 2014 (EDT)

Where should this guy go? [[User:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|Optimus Prime (Convoy)]] ([[User talk:Optimus Prime (Convoy)|talk]]) 05:36, 17 December 2014 (EST)
==Breakout battle Optimus Prime==
It says the Breakout set is exclusive to TRU in Canada and the US, but it never actually got sold in the US right?--[[User:BlackStarscream|BlackStarscream]] ([[User talk:BlackStarscream|talk]]) 18:30, 4 May 2015 (EDT)
:Correct. There was never any official release to US-based retailers, for whatever reason. -[[User:LV|LV]] ([[User talk:LV|talk]]) 21:11, 4 May 2015 (EDT)

==Evasion mode Optimus Prime==
The description for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#EvasionMode|Evasion Mode Optimus Prime]] says that his rifle "can be stored under either of Optimus' shoulders." However, I gave my Optimus a look, and I see no evidence of any such feature. Is this an erroneous claim that needs to be removed? Or have I just missed something? -[[User:Foffy the Sheep|Foffy the Sheep]] ([[User talk:Foffy the Sheep|talk]]) 22:19, 24 December 2015 (EST)

==The Last Knight figures==
Right now that section is a big mess. Masterpiece Optimus was listed, the Voyager doesnt even appear and the Takara 'best of' Evasion Mode repaint is listed as the actual TLK Voyager. This last one is a bit tricky, should be with its own toyline section, no? I mean, i cant see any store where this one is listed as a part of TLK toyline.

'''[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]''' starred in a film series that made billions of dollars. Woohoo!

==Transformers (2007)==
As a tribute to his immense popularity, Optimus Prime is the only ''Movie'' Transformer with a toy in every regular category (Legend, Fast Action, Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader).

===Legends Class toys===
[[File:Movie Legends Prime toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Shortening the smokestacks is good; [[For safety reasons|it makes the toy safer]]. But removing ONE and keeping the other? Crazy.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legends, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Optimus Prime'''

: Legends class Optimus Prime is an ''extremely'' simplified toy of the extremely complex movie design. As such, he features numerous unavoidable inaccuracies, such as not transforming or even looking very much like the original design or the larger toy versions in [[robot mode]]. However, proportionally Legends class Optimus Prime is not far off from the real truck and the Leader class toy's [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], aside from missing a smokestack on the driver's side. He is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via [[ball joint]]s. He can also hold small weapons, such as [[Cyberverse]].

[[File:Movie ProtoformOptimusPrime toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Until I find my feet, I have to use these giant robot hands.]]
*'''Protoform Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-05'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun, missile, flame attachment

:Based upon the "[[Protoform]]" (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the Movie, Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. Oddly, it has NO [[Automorph Technology|automorph]] gimmick at all, a feature most main-line figures have.

:He resembles previous Optimus characters in robot mode: his angular chest windows are reminiscent of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], while his near-animalistic limbs and color scheme are evocative of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal]]. He has excellent articulation due to his many ball joints, and is armed with a rifle. The flame attachment can fit onto the end of the (non-firing) gun barrel.

:Some packaging variants of this figure (perhaps a Wal-Mart exclusive) included a free movie poster depicting a Cybertronian eye overlooking Earth, with an added sticker to the outer plastic bubble saying "Exclusive movie poster!". It is more of a preview of upcoming figures.

:This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as a [[Prima|member]] of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] in [[Tales of the Fallen issue 4|''Tales of the Fallen'' #4]].

**''Accessories:'' Gun, missile, flame attachment

:An extensive redeco of the Protoform Optimus Prime mold that was exclusively available at the Japanese C3xHobby Convention in August of 2007, and later offered by [[e-HOBBY]] in limited quantities. Most of the body is made out of transparent turquoise plastic in order to mimic its frozen state in the "coldness" of space, while orange paint is used on the front end of the "entry" mode, mimicking the heat effects of sudden atmospheric entry. The flame attachment is made out of clear ''blue'' plastic, with the tail end being covered in ''gold'' paint.

===Voyager Class toys===
[[File:Movie Voyager OptimusPrime toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|The last one of you out of here gets a... gets a lead salad!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-13'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:The mid-range Voyager class ''Movie'' Optimus Prime toy transforms into an amalgamation of the Kenworth W900 and the Peterbilt 379, making this toy fairly inaccurate to the actual vehicle Optimus Prime turned into. Because of the smaller size and lessened complexity, the Voyager class Optimus Prime features a significantly different transformation sequence compared to the Leader class toy, and indeed, the actual CGI design. However, as the actual truck cabin no longer forms his chest, the cabin now features a small interior with opening doors and a non-removable [[Peter Cullen|cowboy-hat-bedecked driver figurine]] that flips out of the seat when the driver's side door is opened.

: In robot mode, Voyager class Optimus Prime is proportionally more accurate to his CGI design than the leader class toy and has a more accurate headsculpt. However, due to the aforementioned lessened complexity, significant sacrifices had to be made, such as "cheats" to the transformation sequence to achieve this. He is thus less accurate overall than he initially appears. In addition to previously mentioned changes, he carries much of the truck's front hood, grill and fenders on his back like a backpack. Nevertheless, he maintains a superb level of articulation and posability.

: Optimus Prime is armed with two large rifles formed out of a combination of both smokestacks and fuel tanks. These rifles peg onto his lower arms with grips for his open hands. The under-slung fuel tanks can fire spring-loaded projectiles. In vehicle mode, both smokestack rifles can be deployed as twin cannons, and this mechanism can also be used to store the rifles and deploy them as shoulder guns in robot mode.

*'''Robo-Vision Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: A Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, this limited edition version boasts a "Supermetal finish", resulting in silver metallic paint covering much of his paintable gray/silver plastic, a much higher contrast in his red and blue plastic colors and improved 'flame' paint decorations.

: Unusually for the smaller Voyager Class of toys, [[Robo-Vision]] Optimus Prime comes packed in robot mode in a special hexagonal column box with many windows, similar to the original packaging for ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime. The package also includes a [[Robo-Vision Decoder]]. Strangely, this Target exclusive preceded the release of the regular Voyager by a large margin, coming out on [[June 2]], 2007 with the initial wave of movie toys.

: This toy has been retroactively declared part of the ''Premium Series'' of more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] redecos of core characters from the movie.

:A gold-chromed version of the Voyager Optimus Prime toy was available as part of the same Lucky Draw contest as the Golden Protoform Optimus (see above) in the December 2007 issue of ''TV Magazine''. Limited to only 3 pieces, it is insanely rare. The photographed sample here features a chromed truck grill, while a boxed unit has an unchromed grey grill; the owners of both pieces, the Mapes Brothers of [http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/ Transformers @ The Moon], believe both are genuine TakaraTomy toys, so it unsure if the one with the chromed grill is a testshot or a production variant.

**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: Released as part of the ''Allspark Power'' refresh of the movie line, First Strike Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of Voyager class Optimus Prime in a colour scheme based upon ''Generation 1'' and ''Classics'' Optimus Prime. The included toy bio describes this coloring as Prime paying tribute to the markings he wore as a young soldier when the war began. Due to the [[transformation scheme]], this figure actually ends up being ''less'' like its G1 counterpart in robot mode, a sacrifice made for the slavish redeco of the vehicle mode. You can't have your cake and eat it too, folks.

As such, the toy has very few visual differences from the regular release of the sculpt, in a "doing things differently to achieve a very similar end result" sense.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile

: The largest 2007 ''Transformers'' movie Optimus Prime toy, Leader Class Optimus Prime featured, at the time, the most accurate representation of the CGI designs' complex transformation sequence. He transforms into a heavily-customized [http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379] conventional extended-hood, and unusually for a mainline figure, he has rubber tires on all his wheels. His [[Ion blaster]] weapon is stored in the rear of the truck's bunk, exposed like an engine block. Though Optimus has no trailer, he has a hole where the fifth wheel hitch is sculpted in the rear of the truck, should owners find a suitable trailer to use. Due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]], the tips of his long smokestacks are made of rubber. A switch on top of the cab roof activates horn sounds and window lights.

: Featuring a complex transformation, the front and back ends of the truck essentially fold and converge to become Optimus Prime's legs, as much of the truck rear is connected to the robot thighs via a series of folding panels. The rear wheel cowlings feature a hinge joint in the middle of them so they do not impede his knee articulation. The halves of the rear cabin of the cab, directly connected to the smokestacks, rotate and connect to his torso and unfold into his arms. As with most mainline Movie toys, Optimus Prime features [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmicks, and due to his price point, he has three of them. Firstly, during initial transformation, rotating his front fenders to become his heels flips the top parts of the grill to become his toes. Secondly, sliding out the double-barrel cannon in his right forearm flips out his spring-loaded Ion Blaster, which lands into place for his right hand. (The Ion Blaster can actually be popped off his forearm fairly easily, as it is held in place by a simple clip.) Optimus's final Automorph, located in his torso, is activated by flipping the silver lever on his stomach, activating a series of spring-loaded actions where the truck windows are pushed apart and the lever between them is raised, enabling the head to spring up from the chest cavity. At this point, yellow LEDs light up the chest windows and Optimus Prime's eyes, accompanied by a "powering up" sound effect.

: Optimus Prime has a wide range of articulation for a relatively bulky figure. He has ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, with swivel joints and ball joints supporting them in his biceps, lower knee joints, and ankles. His hands even have individually articulated fingers and thumbs!

: The first Nightwatch Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of the previously released Leader-class Optimus Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black. In fact, he resembles the original [[Diaclone]] Powered Convoy color scheme of ''Generation 1'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]]'s truck cab. The previously blue and red flames have been replaced with silver flames, while various other decos have been replaced by copper.

: The second Nightwatch Optimus Prime was released as part of the "[[AllSpark Power]]" second half of the Movie line. He is similar to the UK version of Nightwatch Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black, retaining his resemblance to Diaclone Powered Convoy in most respects. However, the subdued black and copper on the first Nightwatch Prime have been replaced with gold and a ''very'' bright blue, to signify the All Spark energy affecting the Transformers.

*'''Optimus Prime''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Detachable, Retractable "energy sword"

: The Premium Series Optimus Prime is both a [[retool]] and a redeco of the Leader Class Optimus Prime toy. The major selling point is a more movie-accurate head sculpt with longer ears and detailing based on the final CG head design, and a flip-out energy sword to replace the ion blaster that was included with previous versions of the toy. This energy sword is detachable and attaches where the Ion Blaster did, compatible with non-premium Optimus Prime Leader-class-based releases. Because his ears are much longer, the truck roof panel that hides his head now has two holes cut into so the head can fit inside the cabin.

:The paint deco is... unfocused, to say the least. In vehicle mode, the grill, headlights, and bumpers (and thus his feet) are painted silver, yet the red in the small Autobot insignia has been removed. There is silver paint on the fuel tanks (toy battery cover), but not on the other tool boxes and equipment in the same location. There is also silver paint on all 6 wheel rims, the air cleaners, and the windscreen visor. In robot mode, the silver paint is mainly located on his thighs and crotch, though in order to save on costs, the dark blue and gold paint on his thighs and knee joints have been sacrificed.

: Unlike the initial ''Premium Series'' toys, this one was available as part of the regular mass retail Leader class assortment.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-21'''
**''Accessories:'' Detachable, Retractable "energy sword"

:The TakaraTomy version of Premium Series Optimus Prime has a considerably different deco from Hasbro's release. Similar to the unique chrome Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime Battle Mode features vacuum-metallized parts for nearly all of the silver truck parts, for a greater resemblance to the polished chrome on the real prop trucks. Unfortunately, as his feet are the front fenders and grill, this will likely lead to chipping. In robot mode, he retains several decos that were removed from Hasbro's Premium Optimus Prime for cost reasons, such as the blue and gold decos on his thighs. Finally, the flip-out energy sword is coloured gold to reflect its "powered up" appearance.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[Trans-scan]]ning Optimus Prime is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a "Core Body". To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Optimus Prime: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of metallic blue plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This blue-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Optimus Prime's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of many armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a truck approximating a Peterbilt 379. We would go into what an abominable, unintuitive, parts-massaging ''mess'' this transformation is, but we wouldn't want to fill up the rest of the page.

: Optimus Prime also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Trans-Scanning|Bumblebee]] figure.

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Legends class Optimus Prime is an all-new, much more accurate mold compared to the 2007 Legends class Prime, having a much greater accuracy in both robot and vehicle mode. In particular, his vehicle mode isn't inexplicably missing one smokestack like the 2007 toy.

: The top of the truck's bunk (ending up on his back in robot mode) has a slot to combine with [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]]. For some reason, this isn't mentioned in the instructions, though they're hardly needed.

: Compared to the final product, stock photos of the figure loses blue paint operations on his knee armor.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:Voyager Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the toy from the [[Movie (toyline)|first movie's toyline]]. Like several redecos or retools of 2007 movie toys, there has been some effort to make this release noticeably different from the previous releases, though the toy ends up looking less accurate to the actual movie appearance than those previous releases. Optimus Prime has a sort of faded Autobot [[insignia|logo]] on the side of the truck's bunk, and kanji (Chinese characters) on the roof (ending up on his knee in robot mode.) The word "上海将军" means "Shanghai General", while "大将" means "Grand general".

:The Japanese version of the toy, named "Optimus Prime Revenge Edition", was exclusively available at Tokyo Toy Show 2009, and later also from [[e-HOBBY]]. Despite being sold in Hasbro packaging like the mass retail ''Revenge'' toys in Japan (plus the addition of Japanese stickers marking it as a Japanese market release and containing Japanese safety warnings and manufacturer information), it slightly differed from the Hasbro version insofar as it lacked the [[tampograph]]ed kanji lettering.

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Unite for the Universe|Unite for the Universe]]'' Optimus Prime would have been a redeco of the 2007 Optimus Prime Voyager-Class mold in a similar style to the Leader-Class Buster Optimus Prime (see below), with a much more accurate and detailed paint scheme, including white stenciled flames. He would have come with a set of [[Jetfire (ROTF)#Voyager Class toys|Jetfire]] armour parts to form the powered-up Optimus Prime seen at end of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', and due to not having to form Jetfire's robot mode or his jet mode, the armour parts are far more accurate to the movie's design of them than the leader class Jetfire toy could manage. While not combined to Optimus Prime, the armour can be arranged to form a sort of weapon emplacement mode or a jet engine on the back of Optimus's vehicle mode.

:Both Jet Power Optimus Prime and the accompanying redeco of Voyager-Class ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#UniteMegatron|Megatron]] would have come with an issue of the [[Unite for the Universe issue 1|''Unite for the Universe'' comic book]], but due to the cancellation of both figures, the comics were eventually included with the [[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Movie Masterpiece]] releases of Leader-Class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Bumblebee]].

===Leader Class toys===
[[File:ROTF Leader OptimusPrime.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I will not stop telling you that I am Optimus Prime. Ever!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-01'''

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Leader-class Optimus Prime is an entirely different mold from the first movie's Leader-class Optimus Prime.

:Like the previous Prime, it is loaded with features, though it ditches the first movie's [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing for the new [[Mech Alive]] gimmick. When a grey tab on his midriff is pressed, Prime's entire pectoral region "flexes", lights in his chest and eyes glow, and he declares "I am Optimus Prime" in [[Peter Cullen]]'s voice. For the European release of the figure, to get past the language barrier, the Cullen sound clip is abbreviated to just "Optimus Prime"; in some regions, including Quebec and the UK (but only after a month or two), both versions were made available. A transformation sound effect activates when his torso is transformed, and once Prime is in truck mode, an almost unnoticeable button (a small square located beside the screw for the battery compartment, undocumented in his instructions) is revealed, which activates engine-idling noises.

:Each arm features flip-out blades that trigger when a button on the forearm is pressed. Each of these blades has a [[Cyberglyphics|Cyberglyphic]] symbol on it. The blades severely restrict Prime's arm articulation when retracted, as they get in the way of the kibble, but as there is very little one can do with Prime's arms without causing the blades to deploy, this is hardly noticeable.

:One detail not reflected in most of Hasbro's photos is that the sun visors above Prime's windows are mounted on ball joints and can be positioned like they are in his CG design. The hood halves on his arms can slide up on their hinges and the blue panels at the back of Prime's lower legs can be pulled out slightly as well for further screen accuracy.

:Overall, the robot mode of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' leader class Optimus Prime toy is slightly taller and considerably more athletic-looking than the 2007 ''Transformers'' Leader-class Optimus Prime toy.

[[File:ROTF Leader Jetfire PowerUpPrime toy.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Who's your daddy? He is.]]
:Optimus Prime can also combine with Leader-class [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] to form Jetpower Optimus Prime by slightly transforming his backpack and feet. Sadly, this takes away from his leg articulation, because otherwise he could never support the massive backpack he has in this mode. However, fans have created alternate configurations that increase leg articulation and movie-accuracy.

:Like several new-mold ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys, Optimus Prime suffers from some cost-cutting measures that affected the final production version of the mold. According to Hasbro's stock photos/back-of-box photo of the hand-painted [[prototype]], the toolboxes on the sides of his legs were designed to fold away further for a sleeker, cleaner look. Additionally, the rear tires would have been able to split in half, with the inner half of the tire going inside the outer half to recreate the thin tires seen on Prime's CG design. Some articulation was lost on the toy between Hasbro stock photography and the final release. His fingers are no longer articulated; instead, the entire hand is now one molded piece. Finally, the lower arms appear to have been originally designed so that his hands could slide in or out of them during transformation. Sadly, he also lacks rubber tires, which the original movie Prime did have.

:As a result of striving for vehicle realism and painstaking accuracy to his visual portrayal in the live-action films, this Optimus Prime ends up being ridiculously complex. Transforming him back into a truck is probably more complicated than shown in the movie and can only be considered ''torture''. Very unfortunately, the [[instructions]] for this toy are infamous for being amazingly vague and unclear in their visual depiction of the transformation steps, making transformation even ''harder''. Also, let us not forget that, upon transforming him back to robot mode, he will declare his identity over and over and over and over and over until you're finished.

:The TakaraTomy release of Optimus Prime replaces the red plastic from his neck down to the middle of his pectorals with gray plastic. The smokestacks also are a different shade of gray, and are more opaque than the Hasbro release.

:This version can also attach [[Energon star]]s.

To the simultaneous pleasure and displeasure of people who had already purchased the first release of Leader-class ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Optimus Prime, Buster Optimus Prime features an extensive paint job that closely matches Prime's appearance on the big screen, including covering almost all of his grey plastic with silver paint or chrome, expanding and outlining all of the flame tampographs white for greater accuracy to [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]]'s computer model, and generally painting in small details, nooks and crannies that were neglected on the first release due to cost-cutting reasons.

:This [[TakaraTomy]] Asian market-[[exclusive]] Leader Class two-pack consists of a redecoed [[Jetfire (ROTF)#JetfireBuster|Jetfire]] and a slightly altered Buster Optimus Prime. Buster Optimus Prime is almost identical to the single-pack Japanese release of the toy, but unlike the standalone Buster Prime, has a head with a faceplate, itself containing more paint details than the first release of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader-class Optimus Prime. The flames are outlined with light blue instead of white for accuracy to the physical truck prop (though it ends up being inaccurate in robot mode). Jetfire has a subtle, more [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] colour scheme.

:Despite the fact that this is a TakaraTomy release, this version ''doesn't'' use the improved version of Optimus' [[instructions]], using instead the original (and less helpful) version.

This release of Buster Optimus Prime was susceptible to a paint scraping issue on the silver painted slide-out barrel of his blaster. This problem was fixed for the [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|DOTM Re-release]] by relocating the silver paint app from the barrel to the inside wall of an exposed gas tank that had been previously left as unpainted grey plastic. The black paint app on the barrel was left unchanged.

:In mid 2010, this set was released in Australia. In early 2011, it was released in the Philippines. In late 2011, [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|this set]] was [[Rebranding|re-released]] in ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[packaging]].

*'''Battle Blades Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Matrix of Leadership, 2 Fuel Tank-Gun assemblies, removable Energon Swords

:Battle Blades Optimus Prime is a brand new sculpt that attempts to replicate his Leader Class design. He is much more movie accurate than the previous Voyager incarnations. He features two [[Dual Energon Swords|energon swords]] made of soft plastic, similar to his Leader Class incarnation, albeit not spring-loaded. They can be detached from the mushroom joints they're on, although doing this excessively may cause them to warp.

:He also has a removable [[Matrix of Leadership]] in his chest which is made of unpainted gray plastic. In an awesome homage, the Movie matrix rests on a stand molded to look like it's G1 incarnation.

:His fuel tanks can also separate from the truck panels and become two [[barrage cannon]]s. Oddly enough, these guns are mentioned nowhere on the box even though they would normally be a selling point.

:The [[instructions]] neglect to mention that the entire roof of the cab is on a concealed hinge which greatly eases the difficulty of Prime's transformation. For whatever reason, the instructions treat the toy as if the hinge does not exist, going so far as to show Prime's head magically clipping through his chest to transform. The instructions also neglect to mention that his heel/bumper pieces must be slid out until they ''click'', making the figure just that bit more stable, and that the rotating truck door panels on his upper arms can be pulled further out (but not off) from their sockets, allowing more space for the panels to swing around his hood-arms during transformation.

:The TakaraTomy "Autobot Alliance" release of this toy has some significant differences, including casting the red plastic in a darker shade, making his shin and wheel joints grey rather than Hasbro's bronze, painting the Matrix of Leadership silver, and swapping out the dual energon swords for battle hooks, similar to 2010's Leader class Optimus Prime. However, due to the Japanese release retaining the Hasbro packaging, the box still advertises the dual energon swords rather than the hooks. He retains the masked face used for the Hasbro release.

:This mold was also used to make ''Dark of the Moon'' [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)|Darkside Optimus Prime]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-01'''

:This retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader-Class Optimus Prime features the head from Buster Optimus Prime and has had his blades replaced with semi-articulated Battle Hooks for face-destroying action! He has a darker paint job and sports black splotches on his body and head to signify battle damage. However, due to these extra "battle damage" paint applications, some other paint applications that were present on the Revenge of the Fallen release were omitted. He also sports a new voice box in robot mode, replacing the infamous "I am Optimus Prime!" with "We must stop the Decepticons!" The international release, however, retains the same abbreviated "Optimus Prime" sound clip as the original release. To the annoyance of many fans, this version was the main version released just about ''anywhere'' outside the United States (all of Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia). The box also mentions racing sounds, which may or may not be referring to the button-activated diesel engine noises carried over from the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' version of the figure.
:This version uses the TakaraTomy version of the instructions, which improved upon the original Leader-Class Optimus Prime instruction sheet by including supplementary photographed steps that were previously vague or neglected in the original release.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/Energon Battle Axe

:Exclusive to [[Walmart]], this Deluxe Class Optimus Prime is an all-new mold, close in scale to Voyager Class [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|Megatron]]. He has a high range of motion, with ball jointed shoulders and hips, swivels at the neck, knees, and feet, and double swivels in the elbows. As a result of the transformation process, he can also rotate at the waist, though this is hindered considerably by his "backpack" [[kibble]]. This can be remedied by pointing the truck nose downward, as it is in the packaging. Optimus Prime also features the spring loaded "Automorph" feature in his head, if the truck kibble pushes the small grey switch from his back before splitting the chest into half.

:Optimus Prime features a [[MechTech]] Blaster that can convert into an Energon Battle Axe reminiscent of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Generation 1 character's]] [[Energon-axe|iconic weapon]], though the weapon cannot be locked in battle axe mode. There is also a pair of C joint rods on the underside of both forearms. His MechTech blaster can plug into the port on each of his arms or be held in either hand in robot mode, or plug into one of two holes on his truck roof/robot shoulders.

:After step 5, the instructions did not mention that you should fold back the shoulder panels to form the sleeper part until the 11th step. Care must be taken while transforming the legs: the small peg located on the lower leg can be snapped off due to the peg being slightly thick to accommodate with the hole. Also, take note that Optimus Prime cannot weld 5mm weapons with longer posts due to how the pinky finger was molded prevents the post to peg down through his hands.

:The hand-painted prototype photos from both the packaging and the instructions shows that Prime had long smokestacks, but it was shortened for safety reasons in the final product.

:His MechTech weapon was redecoed from [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Mudflap]]'s weapon. This figure is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.

:Available as a [[Cybertron Con 2012]] exclusive, this Optimus Prime is a redeco of the Takara Tomy retool of the Voyager Class figure. While the individual Optimus figure shares the same paint operations, his trailer was decorated with a Universal Studios & Transformers: The Ride logo patterns.

*'''Striker Optimus''' (MechTech Leader, [[November 17]] 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA28'''
**''Accessories:'' Eliminator Gun & Assault Blaster (forms Mega Striker), shield/battle shield

: Labeled as a "[[Triple Changer]]", Striker Optimus is a redeco and retool of ''Dark of the Moon'' Supreme Class Jetwing Optimus Prime, with new weapons. The base figure has most of the same mold changes as Jetwing Optimus Prime (see below), but has been altered further; in particular, the transforming smokestacks and fuel tanks/ion blaster parts have been replaced with retooled regular tanks that now function as mounts for the new accessories. The colors on the toy are darker than Jetwing Optimus, with a different flame deco that extends farther along the sides of the toy. Additionally, two new 5mm holes have been added to the gray hinge behind the cab in order to accommodate the [[Toys"R"Us|Toys R Us Japan]]-exclusive battle blade accessories. The "I am Optimus Prime" saying of Buster Optimus Prime has also been replaced with the "We must stop the Decepticons!" saying of 2010 ''Transformers'' Optimus Prime, although batteries are not included.

:He comes with shield with a fold-out handle, allowing Optimus to hold onto it with either hand in robot mode. It has a simple transformation gimmick for vehicle mode which is activated by pressing a button at the top of the shield, causing the sides to spring outwards. In vehicle mode, the shield can be laid flat across the bed of the truck, attaching via a post on the back onto the truck’s trailer hitch. Alternatively, the bumpers on the shield can be rotated outwards, and the front bent down in order to form a new front end and hood for "battle vehicle mode", resembling the [[Stealth Force]] vehicles modes seen in ''Dark of the Moon''.

:The figure also comes with two gun accessories, the "Eliminator Gun" and "Assault Blaster", which combine into the "Mega Striker", a rifle that closely resembles the one used in ''Dark of the Moon''. The separate guns also have a MechTech-style transformation, and pulling a lever transforms them into alternate crossbow-like shapes. In "battle vehicle mode", the sides of the truck are rotated up, and the guns can be attached by small pegs to holes in the modified smokestacks, or they can plugged into any of the standard connection points with their [[5mm post]]s... except the ones on the hinge behind the cab, since those are supposed to be for his Energon battle blades.

:As with all Japanese ''Dark of the Moon'' releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his new rifle in its combined mode for the MechTech Wars online game.

:Due to the remolding of the smokestacks, Striker Optimus cannot use the Jetwing pack in robot mode.

The DOTM packaging release of this 2-pack features an altered paint application on Optimus Prime's ion blaster/barrage cannon. On the original ROTF packaging release, the slide-out barrel on Prime's blaster is painted silver with a black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is left as unpainted grey plastic (exactly like the blaster on the original single-boxed ROTF Buster Optimus Prime). After receiving numerous reports from customers that the silver paint on the slide-out barrel was easily scraped off by merely transforming it from gas tank to blaster, Takara-Tomy briefly stated in an interview that they had addressed the issue for the Dark of the Moon packaged version by swapping the placement of the silver paint application. Thus, the Dark of the Moon packaged version now features the slide-out barrel on Prime's blaster as unpainted grey plastic with an unchanged black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is now painted silver.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA15'''
**''Accessories:'' Tank A & Tank B (forms Ion Blaster), Jetwing jet pack, Arm Gatling Cannon A & B, Leg Armor A & B

:Jetwing Optimus Prime is a retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class Buster Optimus Prime, with an accompanying large jet pack and massive dual Gatling Cannons. The base Optimus Prime figure has several modifications including: a new stomach area and elbow flares to reflect the changes to Optimus Prime's CG model in ''Dark of the Moon'', modified lower arms to incorporate MechTech ports and clips for the cannons, and a retooled area under his back so the jet pack can fit on more securely. The dual energon blades mounted on his arms have been removed. The toy retains Buster Optimus Prime's electronics, but batteries are not included.

:The Jetwing jet pack attaches onto Optimus Prime via a part that hooks onto one of the hinges behind his neck, and a spring-loaded clamp that latches onto a recessed area under Optimus' back. The fuel tanks that form Optimus' Ion Blaster must be removed for this mode, and they can be stored inside the engines for the jet pack. The Jetwing can be used on previous Leader Optimus Primes from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' onwards, but due to the lack modifications seen in Jetwing Optimus Prime, the combination isn't as stable. The jet pack features four MechTech ports on the main wing articulation points, and two [[C joint]] mounting points on each wing. The Gatling Cannons both feature two MechTech ports and 2 C joint mounts on either side of each cannon.

:The design of the Jetwing jet pack and its cannons were based upon earlier concept art for Optimus Prime's flight tech for ''Dark of the Moon'', and as such are not accurate to how his equipment appears in the movie itself.

:As with all Japanese ''Dark of the Moon'' releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

:Jetwing Optimus Prime was available for early purchase in Japan at the International Tokyo Toy Show 2011 (held at Tokyo Bic Sight) on [[June 18]] to [[June 19|19]], shortly before its wide release in July.

:However, the toy was available in [[Australia]] a week before the Tokyo Toy Show, packaged in translated English packaging and instructions by Tomy Asia.

:The box seems to have been created rather hastily from the Japanese original. It is roughly identical to the Tomy release, but with the Japanese text edited out... mostly. Random Japanese text remains floating in space on the top of the back panel and underneath the "Jetwing Optimus Prime" name on the front. Curiously, the left flap has been rewritten to eliminate mention of [[NEST]] and the jetpack's ability to detach, while the right flap has been (badly) edited to remove all mentions of [[MechTech]].

[[File:DOTM UltimateOptimusPrime toy.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|Truck forearms of '''DOOM'''!]]
*'''Ultimate Optimus Prime''' (MechTech Ultimate, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA32'''
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Omega Combat Armor, MechTech Ultimax Super Cannon

:Billed on his packaging as "BIGGEST Optimus Prime Toy!", Ultimate Optimus Prime consists of an articulated tractor-trailer. The cab can transform into a "normal" Optimus Prime on its own, roughly equivalent to a Voyager in size and complexity, though with a lower degree of screen-accuracy than most large Optimus toys. Prime has 5mm fist holes, as well as additional 5mm ports on his front wheel wells and both sets of external fuel tanks. Four of these remain available in robot mode. The trailer has twelve more 5mm ports. Despite this, the toy comes with no weapons scaled such that the cab-only robot can usefully wield them.

:The real selling point of the toy, however, is the colossal Omega Combat Armor. [[Armored Weapons Platform#Ultimate|Optimus' trailer]] transforms into nearly two feet of limb extensions, armor, and wings. The armor remains completely integrated (except for the Ultimax Super Cannon) during transformation, with no [[Partformer|partsforming]], although this renders the final power-up robot mode somewhat limited in articulation, having no leg articulation whatsoever aside from swinging the hips out slightly and twisting at the ankles for maximum stability. The armor adds six more 5mm ports of dubious utility around the feet, retains the four from the cab robot and the eight from the trailer (on the backs of the wings), and has his own pair of 5mm fist holes. In trailer mode, it can support itself using folding blue landing gear, although the attached ball-jointed struts make it somewhat less than realistic.

:The centerpiece of the power-up robot mode is Prime's gigantic Ultimax Super Cannon, an electronic light-and-sound weapon the size and mass of a Deluxe figure. The whole cannon attaches to a special socket slightly behind Prime's shoulders, can store on the back or flip over to be gripped in both fists in armor mode, or stored upside-down underneath the trailer in truck mode. When pointed forward, the cannon has a larger helmet styled after Prime's own with a large translucent face shield featuring a painted targeting system. The weapon has three electronic modes: each of two small buttons plays its own weapon-firing noise and flashes one set of lights, while the large pull-switch in the cannon's center plays the sounds of a powerful barrage, flashing both sets of lights and (every third time) finishing off with the declaration "I am Optimus Prime". The Ultimax Super Cannon also has two of its own 5mm ports for even more MechTech firepower. When mounted on his back, the Cannon has two hook-like sections that securely lock into the "backpack", allowing the Ultimax weapon to serve as a handle for Optimus' imaginary "flight" operations.

:Although the trailer is made exclusively for the cab with which it comes, it is scaled much more closely to and can be pulled by Optimus Prime's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class iteration.

:In Japan, Ultimate Optimus Prime comes with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Optimus Prime (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. You simply slam him down on the big blue button on the back end of his truck mode and he transforms thanks to spring-loaded mechanisms. To transform him back, just slam him down again on the same blue button.

:Shockingly, he actually has arm articulation! Swivels at his shoulders allow you to rotate his arms 360 degrees! Go little Prime! Unfortunately, because his big blue button sits right under his feet, his robot mode is a little unstable when it comes to standing.

:Prime was packaged in vehicle mode on an open, bubble-less card and tied down with twist-ties around the body of his truck form so that he couldn't be transformed in package.

:[[Robo Power#Go-Bots|Go-Bot]]s Optimus Prime is built around the same pull-back and auto-transform mechanisms as all the ''Dark of the Moon'' Go-Bots toys. Prime's pull-back motor can be used in either robot or vehicle mode.

:In robot mode, the motor gimmick really comes to the fore—his head, shoulders, and legs move in time with his forward movement. His legs pump up and down, his shoulders pump up and down, and his head rocks side-to-side. This gives the toy the illusion that it's running, rather than just rolling.

:The other gimmick for Prime is his auto-transform gimmick. From truck mode, push him down on his back bumper and his bonnet automatically folds back and his arms automatically pop out. He needs to be transformed back manually.

:In robot mode, Go-Bots Optimus Prime has a limited swivel joint for head articulation, and while he has other movable joints, all of them are spring-loaded and unable to hold a pose.

:[[Asia Premium Series]] Optimus Prime Ultimate Edition is an extensive screen-accurate redeco of Jetwing Optimus Prime (with a maskless head from Buster Optimus Prime), this figure features '''loads''' of accessories from the Striker & Jetwing figures, and includes brand-new knuckle and battle hooks based on the HFTD Optimus', which can be installed in either hand. The figure lacks the chrome of previous releases, instead opting for silver paint. The pin-striping is also absent, but he does have painted pupils. The figure also features 2-2-1 articulated fingers, which the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys 2|first Leader Class]] did not have due to budget cuts. The ion cannon included lacks the black paint application, leaving it completely silver. When purchased from select retailers, this toy will also include a shiny metal number plate and a bonus mini [[AllSpark]] cube accessory.

*'''First Edition Optimus Prime''' (2014)
**'''14 OF 30'''
**''Accessories:'' Sword of Judgment, Sentinel Shield

: First Edition Optimus Prime is, as his title suggests, the first toy available to the public from the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|''Age of Extinction'' toy line]]. Prime is an all-new Leader Class-sized figure, featuring his new Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck vehicle mode and his updated robot mode from the film (well, mostly based on his initial design rather than the final design in the movie). His transformation is much simpler than his counterparts from the previous three movie lines, being billed as transforming in "15 easy steps." His torso, shoulders, upper legs, and the vehicle mode grill are all completely chrome with the exception of minor blue and red details painted on his chest. However, this comes at the expense of his smokestacks and wheels being bare gray plastic, whereas they are chromed in the film. His simplified transformation also comes at the expense of having a very bulky "backpack" of [[kibble]] composed of the rear of the truck cab and the fuel tanks, limiting his shoulder and hip [[articulation]]. However, his Truck [[kibble]] can be detached from the main figure to form the majority of his vehicle mode on its own.
[[File:TF-AOE-FE-Optimus-Prime-individual-modes.jpg|left|250px|thumb]]

:He includes the Sword of Judgment and Sentinel Shield accessories, which he can respectively wield and mount on his left forearm, all via 6mm post. In truck mode, the sword is stored underneath, while the shield mounts onto the trailer hitch. The sword also features a [[5mm post]] on its hilt. Interestingly, the truck mode is able to pull G1 Optimus Prime's trailer.

:He was only available as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive in the United States, but was also released at brick and mortar retails in Australia and Hasbro's Asian markets, such as Singapore. Oddly enough, even though the official press release for the figure identifies it as "14 of 30" in Hasbro's ''[[Thrilling 30#30 exclusive toys|Thrilling 30]]'' campaign, the [[packaging]] does not sport any such markings.<ref name="fepress">[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/news/Transformers-Movie-4-Optimus-Prime-Action-Figure-First-Edition.cfm Official Hasbro press release for ''Age of Extinction'' First Edition Optimus Prime]</ref> To complicate matters further, a later retrospective by Hasbro on Facebook identifies ''another'' product as "14 of 30", which doesn't sport any such markings on its packaging ''either''.<ref name="retro">[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/743925055677691 Habro Thrilling 30 retrospective] on Facebook, mirrored [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-generations-classics-30-35/hasbro-transformers-30th-anniversary-thrilling-30-exclusives-retrospective-gallery-181598/ here] on TFW2005.</ref>

:Part of the first wave of TakaraTomy ''[[Movie Advanced Series|Lost Age: Movie Advanced]]'' toys, this Japanese-exclusive redeco of [[#Deluxe Class toys|''Transformers'' (2007) Protoform Optimus Prime]] is given a ''Generation 1''-styled color scheme (which is ''also'' based on his appearances in IDW's [[Transformers: Foundation]] comic-book mini-series). Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. His now-blue flame decoration piece fits to the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail (Not sure if this was mean to represent his jetpack blast effect or his atmospheric entry heat effect, which is for no reason: entirely blue instead of hot red). The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces.

**''Accessories:'' Sword
:A redeco of the ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class toy, this Optimus Prime has large portions of his body, mostly his truck parts, vacuum metallized silver, and his light-piped eyes were neutered by blue paint. He comes with a redeco of Generation 1 [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]]'s sword, which can be wield by his 5mm-compatible hands (Although not shown in the instructions). As his body, legs, and front truck kibble were chromed, care must be taken while transforming, ''especially'' with the shoulder kibble & the bottom leg's posts (This can be amended if you slightly drill the holes). As with the original ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class figure, the instructions did not mention about forming the sleeper part until step 10, the pinky finger prevented the sword to peg down through his hands, and of course: his truck mode can attach with the Armored Weapons Platform included in the ''Chronicle'' or the ''Movie Trilogy Series'' figure. This figure has slightly loose shoulder joints.

:This figure was only available in a two-pack with a Voyager Class [[Grimlock (AOE)#Target2Pack|Grimlock]] figure. The two-pack was exclusively available at Target stores in the United States, Canada and Australia, at Tesco stores in the United Kingdom and Hungary and at Galeria Kaufhof department stores in Germany.

**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[May 17|5-17-]][[2014|14]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion cannon

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, "Evasion Mode Optimus Prime" is an all-new figure based on the character's initial form in the film, transforming from a cab-over semi truck into a robot mostly similar to his previous movie design. The truck mode is heavily based on Generation 1 Optimus Prime's White Freightliner WFT alt mode in both sculpt and deco, although it draws a few details, such as the singular smokestack and wheel designs, from the heavily faded Marmon 97 seen on-screen. In robot mode, he sports faux-kibble windows and, amusingly, ''two'' false smokestacks.

:Optimus includes an spring-loaded missile firing "ion cannon" modeled after Megatron's shotgun from ''Dark of the Moon''. It can be held in his hand or attached to the top of the truck cab or truck bed via 5mm post, and, in an unadvertised feature, sports tabs on the rear-most handle that allow the [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Megatron toy]] to wield it. Also undocumented is the fact that the weapon can be stored under either of Optimus' shoulders.

:In time-honored tradition, Prime's instructions depict the toy with an alternate "[[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|pretooled]]" head – in this case, a version with the faceplate deployed, used on the ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' and "Rusty" releases of the figure (see below). Additionally, his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts him with extra white/silver [[Paint operation|paint detail]]s, especially on his chest and wheel rims, as well as having gray upper arms with red details, among other differences.

:Despite his relatively small truck mode (which is almost as small as a Deluxe class toy) he is quite tall.

:The TakaraTomy version, part of the first wave of ''Lost Age: Movie Advanced'' toys, is dubbed "'''Classic Optimus Prime'''", and opts for a deco closer to Prime's previous on-screen appearances, omitting the blue paint on his feet and hands to reveal the gray plastic underneath, and adding new paint details all over. In terms of quality control, at least ''one'' sample has missing it's silver paint on the head's left cheek.

:The faceplated version of the mold was used to make [[Nemesis Prime (AOE)#Toys|Nemesis Prime]].

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AD01'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[May 17|5-17-]][[2014|14]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Sword of Judgment, Vector Shield

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: Generations'' Leader Class toys, this is yet ''another'' completely new "big" Optimus Prime figure. While smaller than the First Edition toy, this one features more silver and chrome paint in vehicle mode, a more poseable robot mode, and a Vector Shield accessory instead of the Sentinel Shield. Unlike the First Edition figure, Leader Class Optimus Prime's pauldrons and hip-skirts are formed from truck kibble, giving him a marginally smaller backpack. His accessories have roughly the same functionality as the First Edition toy, with his sword being hand-held and pegged onto his hands or storing underneath the truck, and his shield mounting onto his left forearm or storing on the back of the truck. Additionally, the sword sheath underneath the truck can be folded up and used in robot mode.

:This figure was only made available as a store [[exclusive]] in parts of Europe, at least in the United Kingdom (at Argos) and Germany (at Rossmann drug stores).

:Apparently, early plans for the shield were to have it colored gold and silver, but it was later changed to gray and red. When a hand-painted [[prototype]] of the toy was first displayed at the 2013 New York Comic Con, the shield was colored yellow and silver; in addition, the original versions of the official Hasbro [[stock photography|stock photos]] also depict the gold color, but the versions featured on the back of the toy's [[packaging]] were edited so they would accurately depict the final toy's colors for the shield. Meanwhile, the versions of the stock photos provided to websites and online retailers depict the shield in its final colors for the robot mode, whereas the vehicle mode photo is the unedited version featuring the shield's original colors. Furthermore, UK-based retailer Argos also featured unedited versions of the stock photos for both modes in one of its catalogs, causing some confusion among fans.<ref name="argos">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/991761-uk-getting-different-leader-decos-optimus-yellow-vector-shield.html TFW2005 thread] about outdated stock photos used in Argos catalog.</ref> Sometimes, the spring loaded "[[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]" feature in his head is too strong and causes the head to fly off...

:The [[TakaraTomy]] version, part of the first wave of ''Lost Age: Movie Advanced'' toys, features numerous silver paint details, and alters the deco on his chest to be more screen-accurate, among many other changes.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''LA01'''

:A roughly Voyager-sized mold of Optimus Prime. He transforms into a Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck as seen in the film, in ''4 steps'':
::1. Press 2 buttons on the truck steps makes the side panels pop out in position.
::2. Fold down the front section to transform it's robot mode legs.
::3. Fold back the rear parts to form the kibble.
::4. Position the arms into place, and Optimus will announce "Transform!", with a classic transformation sound effect.
:Like Chomp & Stomp Grimlock, his truck kibble from the back can accommodate One-Steps and Power Battlers (Both Hasbro and TakaraTomy), activating his various voice clips and flashing lights by interacting with the magnets in their feet. He is notably less kibbly than other AOE Optimus Primes...from the front, at least. The back and sides are not so promising with large chunks of Western Star truck kibble hanging off his legs, making him look as if he's wearing a petticoat. At least the jetpack helps balance the whole thing out....

:The sword of judgement included with this toy is the same mold as the weapon included with the ''Age of Extinction'' leader class Optimus but cast in flat grey rubbery plastic rather than the transparent plastic and paint operations of the initial release.

:''Starscream is a [[Decepticon]] and briefly [[Autobot]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Starscreamut.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|Starscream's back, and he's a [[Linkin Park]] song.]]

'''Starscream''' is disillusioned by his leader [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]. It took a while for Starscream to come to grips with Megatron's faults, but there's no turning back. Megatron doesn't respect him, doesn't appreciate him, and would casually toss Starscream's life away if it got him something he wanted. If following Megatron is the school of hard knocks, then Starscream is the valedictorian—but not without a few scars. Starscream may have once been compassionate, he may once have known what true friendship is, but all that has been replaced, scab for scab, with the lessons of Megatron's abuse.

Unwittingly, Megatron may have created a monster even he cannot ultimately control.

Starscream's nominal [[Mini-Con]] partner is [[Swindle (Armada)|Swindle]], though he has been seen to work with [[Zapmaster (Armada)|Zapmaster]].

==Fiction==
===Toy pack-in comics===
[[File:Armada V2 Starscream.jpg|left|thumb|Yes, throw the flying guy off a cliff. Great plan.]]

Starscream, [[Swindle (Armada)|Swindle]], and the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team]] were sent to destroy an Autobot satellite dish that could have helped detect [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]. Attacking from the air, Starscream successfully destroyed the dish, then moved in to finish off [[Rollbar (Armada)|Rollbar]] up close and personal. Rollbar's partner [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] didn't take kindly to this, and plowed off Starscream off the cliff into the sea. {{Storylink|Armada Volume 2}}

Much later, Starscream battled [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]], and [[Skyblast (Energon)|Skyblast]] with [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] and [[Battle Ravage]]. {{Storylink|Energon Volume 2}}

===Dreamwave ''Armada'' continuity===
[[File:StarscreamEnergon-NoExit.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Starscream is only really helpful when he can be a dick at the same time.]]
One million years ago, [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s relative peace was shattered by the appearance of Megatron and his new "Decepticon" army, who captured and performed [[Mecha-sectioning|horrible experiments]] on the diminutive [[Mini-Con]]s so that they could interface with and [[Powerlinx|draw power]] from the tiny 'bots. Starscream was a member of this malevolent menagerie, one of many soldiers who followed Megatron out of greed for the power the Mini-Cons could impart upon them. When the Decepticons introduced themselves to the Cybertronian public by attacking [[Cyber City]], Starscream was there, and bested both [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] and [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] whilst augmented with the power of his Mini-Con, [[Swindle (Armada)|Swindle]]. The Decepticons triumphed over [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]'s Autobots, but as they were gloating, Starscream discovered that the [[Decepticon Headquarters (Armada)|Decepticon base]] had been broken into, and the Mini-Cons held captive there had escaped and fled the planet. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 2|Armada #2}}

Years later, as the war raged on, during a Decepticons mission to seek out entrenched Autobot bunkers, Starscream noted to Megatron that even though the Decepticon leader's plans were smarter and more practical, the action-before-thought demonstrations of the warrior [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] were a greater "crowd-pleaser." Starscream warned his leader that Scorponok's antics might be seen as some as a challenge. {{storylink|No Exit}}

[[File:DWArmada4 Starscream jetmode.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66]]
After a million years of war, during which the Mini-Con empowered Decepticons steadily conquered the planet, Starscream joined Megatron, [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] and [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]] in traveling to the distant world of [[Earth]] when a Mini-Con distress beacon from the planet reached Cybertron. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 3|Armada #3}} While Megatron went after a group of Mini-Cons led by [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]] and their newfound human friends, Starscream led the other Decepticons to a nearby military base to find suitable Earthly vehicles whose forms they could adopt. Regrouping with Megatron outside [[Science City]], Starscream downloaded Megatron's new vehicle mode into him in characteristic fashion: by suddenly stabbing him in the back with the data injector. Just as Megatron was complimenting Starscream on his choice of vehicle, the Mini-Cons came roaring by, and Starscream and Cyclonus led the chase after them, until they were stopped by the Autobots and momentarily disabled. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 4|Armada #4}}

[[File:DWArmada5 Starscream Ineednoone.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
In the ensuing fight, Starscream and Cyclonus tried to get the jump on Scavenger, until Hot Shot and [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]] intervened. Starscream went up against Hot Shot, but the Decepticons were forced to retreat when the Mini-Cons all powerlinked with the Autobots and the Decepticons were unable to match their power since, as Starscream pointed out Megatron had powerlinked with all their own Mini-Cons. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 5|Armada #5}}

Starscream went with the Decepticons to [[Rapid City]], [[South Dakota]] to capture the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Air Defense Mini-Con Team]], but chafed at Megatron's greed and began trying to think up a way to stymie his plan to forge all three Mini-Cons into a [[Star Saber (Armada)|sword]]. Stalking the halls of their new [[Silver Ridge]], [[Nebraska]] base as he pondered the subject, he came across Sparkplug's Mini-Con group breaking into the base to rescue to the Air Defense Team and attempted to captured them, but they brought the room's ceiling generator down on him. {{Storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 6|Armada #6}} By the time he had dug himself out, Megatron had completed the forging of his new "Star Saber", and Starscream joined him in attacking [[Lincoln, South Dakota]] to lure the Autobots out of hiding. Grumbling to the other Decepticons that the Megatron's latest power trip had caused him to forget about them, he decided to give their leader a reminder of their importance by instructing Megatron's Mini-Con partner [[Leader-1 (Armada)|Leader-1]] to disrupt his control of the Star Saber. When Megatron subsequently lost control of the blade and the Mini-Cons making it up ecaped, Starscream mocked his loss and left. {{Storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 7|Armada #7}}

[[File:DWArmada10 StarscreamThrust whiner.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.95]]
When the Mini-Cons from both factions disappeared, Starscream tracked them to a strange obelisk in [[Tranquility, Kansas|Tranquility]], [[Kansas]]. Weaponry in the obelisk held Starscream back, and a battle that erupted following the Autobots' arrival distracted both sides long enough for the obelisk to blast off into space with the Mini-Cons on board. {{Storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 8|Armada #8}} The Decepticons followed the obelisk to the [[Moon (moon)|moon]], where Starscream was shot down by the defense systems protecting the Mini-Con moonbase that had been built there. {{Storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 9|Armada #9}} While Megatron worked on getting around the defenses, Starscream and newcomer [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] were sent back to their Silver Ridge headquarters to retrieve some equipment, griping at each other all the way. Coming across the unconscious body of Demolishor outside and realizing the Autobots had come a-calling, Starscream sprayed the base control with laser fire, unaware that the 'Bots in question had hidden themselves in the vents. A little later, as the pair were trying to figure out ''why'' the Autobots had broken in, Hot Shot and Red Alert suddenly burst from their hiding place and blasted Starscream into the computer behind him, to prevent the Decepticons from tracking the space bridge movements of Optimus Prime. {{Storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 10|Armada #10}} Megatron did eventually succeed in capturing the creators of the moonbase, the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team|Destructicon Team]], but found he could not control their power, much to Starscream's amusement. {{storylink|Fire & Ice}}

[[File:DWArmada13 Starscream smirk.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]

When Megatron was about to test his newest weapon, the [[Solar Scalpel]], Starscream alerted him to a shuttle of Autobots that would make the perfect guinea pigs. Starscream lambasted his leader for destroying only their shuttle, but Megatron retorted that he wanted the Autobots to see their doom coming. Starscream had the last laugh, however; [[Space Mini-Con Team]] member [[Sky Blast]] destroyed the Solar Scalpel, scuttling Megatron's plans. {{Storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 13|Armada #13}}

[[File:Armada14 clean cover.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Lacking the skills necessary to fix the Decepticons' malfunctioning space brige, Starscream instead went out on patrol and came upon Hot Shot and several of the Autobot Mini-Cons travelling from [[Big Sur National Park]] to [[San Francisco]] and decided to follow, unaware he himself was being followed by Thrust. Blasting the Autobots out of the sky as they arrived at the construction site, Starscream spotted an [[Over-Run (Armada)|unfamiliar Mini-Con]] and made a bid to grab him, only to be knocked unconscious by a blow from behind delivered by the mysterious [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. {{Storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 1 of 4}}

When Leader-1 discovered the Autobots were scanning [[transwarp|subspace]] for the absent Optimus Prime, Megatron decided to strike [[Autobase|Autobase: Earth]]. Starscream fired the opening shot in the battle that followed, destroying the computer console Red Alert was stationed at and felling Red himself, but was prevented from delivering a killing blow by Megatron, who wanted to finish off the Autobot himself. Fortunately for the Autobots, Galvatron attacked the Decepticons and handily defeated all of Megatron's lackeys. {{Storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 2 of 4}} {{Storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 3 of 4}}

The Decepticons eventually retreated after Megatron bested Galvatron, but were soon contacted by the returned Optimus Prime with the proposal of an alliance against Galvatron's master, the world-eating being known as [[Unicron]]. The Decepticons agreed, and everyone returned to Cybertron to prepare for the coming battle, but when Unicron appeared in the skies over their homeworld, and incredulous Starscream refused to fight, and was sure that he had seen the last of Megatron when he jetted off into the fight. As it turned out, he was right. {{Storylink|The End}}

[[File:Energon issue 33.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]

Ten years later, in the wake of the unification of Autobots and Decepticons following Unicron's defeat, Starscream had tried to ingratiate himself with [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]] and the rest of the remaining Decepticons. His wheedling didn't last long, though, as [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] showed up and promptly blasted him into an Energon ore processor, which ground his body down and smelted what remained. {{storylink|This Evil Reborn}} Contrary to appearances, however, this would not be the last of Starscream: later, during the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] attack on Earth, he returned in a new form, the bizarre circumstances of his death having somehow allowed him to transcend death as an Energon "ghost" of sorts. Investigating a blast in the processing facility, Demolishor was attacked by the spectral Starscream, who drained his energy. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 3}}

{{note|Due to Dreamwave's subsequent bankruptcy, the ''Energon'' comic ceased publication before Starscream's story could continue. The following would have taken place in unpublished issues.}}

Seeking to absorb more and more Energon, Starscream set out looking for other Transformers to drain, and came across the ever-unfortunately [[Dropshot (Armada)|Dropshot]] being menaced by Decepticons. The 'Cons scattered at the sight of a "ghost", while Starscream drained Dropshot dry. He then targeted the Mini-Con [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]], having sensed his connection to the Energon-rich core of Cybertron and intending to feed on it through him. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 1}} After killing Over-Run, Starscream battled with the [[Omnicon]]s, and proved to be more than a match for their [[Energon weapon]]s, which only made him stronger. The Omnicons allowed Starscream to begin draining their energy, but as he did so, they merged their minds together and defeated him with combined force of will. Reverted into a solid form by this experience, Starscream fled. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 2}}

{{note|Starscream's murder of Over-Run would later be recounted in the cartoon-continuity [[Balancing Act|''Cybertron'' comic]], as the [[Unicron Singularity]] caused the comic and cartoon continuities to intertwine; see Starscream's [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity#Cybertron comic|cartoon article]] for details.}}

====''More than Meets the Eye: Armada''====
{{note|Although supposedly set in the same universe as Dreamwave's ''Armada'' comic, the ''[[More than Meets the Eye: Transformers: Armada|More than Meets the Eye]]'' guidebook published after the conclusion of the series contained multiple scenarios that were incompatible with the comic's story, including some points drawn from Starscream's portrayal in the ''Armada'' cartoon.}}

Starscream was originally revolted by the idea of powerlinking, but came to accept it when he realised the power the Mini-Cons could provide him. He doesn't entirely trust Swindle, suspecting he may just be "fattening him up for the kill", but knows they make a powerful team together.

According to [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]], Starscream botched the first mission they went on together on Cybertron, and left him for dead in the process. Tidal Wave has carried a grudge against Starscream ever since, which was only magnified when he discovered that Starscream had allegedly developed a fondness for human beings. Starscream himself confirmed this, feeling that the small creatures had opened his mind to new ways of thinking. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye: Transformers: Armada|More than Meets the Eye: Armada #3}}

===Cartoon continuity===
{{main|Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity}}
[[File:Armada starscream cartoon continuity.jpg|left|thumb|upright=2.2]]
Starscream accompanied the Decepticons to Earth in the year 2010, but his relationship with his leader was a troubled one; where Starscream craved Megatron's respect, Megatron gave him not one ounce of it, consistently berating and even brutalizing him in some kind of twisted attempt to drive him to realize the Decepticon potential he could see within the younger 'bot. Granted control of the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]] but abandoned on the battlefield as part of a feint scheme, Starscream turned against his comrades and sided with the Autobots—not out of any desire to do good, but because he hoped they would help him destroy Megatron. Although he befriended the Autobots' young human allies—[[Alexis Thi Dang (Armada)|Alexis Thi Dang]] in particular—and appeared to slowly be coming around to their way of thinking, he fell victim to the manipulations of [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] and [[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]], who tricked him into returning to the Decepticon fold. When the threat of [[Unicron]] appeared, however, Starscream could see that the only way forward was for Autobots and Decepticons to unite under Optimus Prime's leadership. Coming to a fatal decision, Starscream challenged Megatron to one last battle for respect, then attacked Unicron himself, sacrificing his life to convince his leader of the threat the chaos-bringer posed.

Ten years later, Starscream was resurrected by the alien [[Alpha Quintesson|Alpha Q]] using the power of [[Energon]], sans his memories, with the intent that he destroy Optimus Prime and Megatron both. But Megatron was able to harness Unicron's power and even further mindwipe Starscream, transforming him—ironically enough—into his most loyal soldier in the war for Energon. When Megatron hurled himself into an Energon sun to entrap Unicron's spark, Starscream plunged into the star alongside his leader, and was believed dead. However, in 2030, when the sun collapsed into a [[Unicron Singularity|black hole]], Starscream and Megatron were freed, and Starscream—his mind now his own once more—had a new ambition: to take leadership of the Decepticons for himself. He opted to bide his time at first, supervising the search for the [[Omega Lock]] on Earth while Megatron sought out the [[Cyber Planet Key]]s, but when he located an army of [[Ancient Decepticon]]s, he made his big move. Taking on the entire Autobot army, Starscream stole the Omega Lock and the Cyber Planet Keys, and channeled from them the power of Primus, transforming himself into a skyscraper-sized giant. In a final battle with Megatron on the planet Gigantion, Starscream disappeared in a reality-sundering discharge of energy, apparently swept away across the dimensions.

===Panini ''Armada'' comic===
[[File:PaniniArmada1 starscream shot down.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
During the war on Cybertron, Starscream participated on multiple raids on Mini-Con villages. The enraged Mini-Con [[Dualor (Armada)|Dualor]] sought revenge by luring the Decepticons into an attacking an Autobot outpost, planning to blow them all up; Starscream, Cyclonus and Megatron took the bait, but Dualor's plan failed thanks to interference from [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]]. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 9|Counter-Strike!}}

Although the Mini-Cons would later abandoned the planet, the war continued after their departure. In one of many battles, Starscream strafed some Autobots, but was shot down by [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]'s trailer cannon despite his Mini-Con augmentation. [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] punished him by taking [[Swindle (Armada)|Swindle]] away, which Starscream protested against. {{storylink|First Encounter!}} When Megatron found the Mini-Cons on Earth, he summoned Starscream, Cyclonus and [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] to the planet through a [[space bridge]]. After spending some time searching for Mini-Cons and shooting at Autobots, he was shot down by [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]]. {{storylink|Friends and Foes!}} Starscream was later present when the Decepticons made a failed grab for the Autobots' Mini-Cons. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 3|No Way Back!}}
[[File:PaniniArmada7 starscream vs perceptor.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]
In order to boost his own strength and overthrow Megatron, Starscream made a plan to capture the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Air Defense Mini-Con Team]]. Knowing that the Mini-Con trio enjoyed saving humans, he arranged for a satellite to fall on [[Chicago]] to draw them out. True to their nature, the Air Defense Team showed up and diverted the satellite, letting Starscream attack and capture [[Jetstorm (Armada)|Jetstorm]]. Unfortunately, an Autobot team showed up and saved the Mini-Cons, but Starscream had still managed to plant a tracking device on Jetstorm. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 5|Devices and Desires!}} Following his tracker, he soon found and ambushed the Air Defense Team again, successfully capturing them, shutting off their personality chips and combining them into the powerful [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]]. Unsatisfied with even the sword, Starscream went after the [[Street Action Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Street Action Mini-Con Team]] to ensure he had enough power to best Megatron. They resisted and attacked Starscream in the form of [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]], and he fought back with his new Star Saber. However, disengaging Air Defense Team's personalities had been a mistake — without them, the Star Saber's power soon went wild. Lightning filled the air and Starscream began panicking as he couldn't let go of the weapon, but thankfully Optimus Prime took it from him and separated it. With his plan failed, Starscream ran away. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 7|The Two-Edged Blade!}}
[[File:PaniniArmada9 starscream sonic destabiliser.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
After the Decepticons built a grandiose base on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]], Starscream was shocked to hear that Megatron planned to spare the Autobots in exchange for their Mini-Cons. Megatron confirmed that ''of course'' he was just going to trick the Autobots and blow them up after he got their Mini-Cons, and Starscream even got to fire the missiles for the job. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 8|Earthshaker!}} After the plan failed, Starscream first reported that Cyclonus was missing, and then that he was returning with too much power inside him. It turned out that Cyclonus was powered up and under the control of the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team]], and while the other Decepticons attacked the "traitor", Starscream had an idea. He used a [[sonic destabiliser]] to safely separate the Destruction Team from Cyclonus, and after they escaped, he contacted them and offered them a deal... {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 9|Dawn of Destruction!}}

{{note|The cancellation of the Panini ''Armada'' comic meant that Starscream's schemes never reached fruition.

Starscream was one of the Decepticons teleported to Earth by the warp gate within the remains of a Mini-Con ship. Despite the radical change in scenery, Starscream continued to do battle against the Autobots who had been teleported alongside them. The fighting came to an end, temporarily, thanks to the efforts of [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]]. {{storylink|Transformers Armada: The Battle Begins|The Battle Begins}}

===The Balance of Power===
[[File:BalanceofPower starscream datacon.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67]]
During the war on Cybertron, the Autobots and Decepticons met in battle while searching for a mysterious relic that could allegedly reveal what had become of the Mini-Cons who had long ago vanished from the planet. While Cyclonus and an army of [[Decepticlone]]s kept the Autobots busy, Starscream snuck away from the combat and managed to unearth the relic, which turned out to be a [[Data-Con]]. The device contained a recording left by the Mini-Cons that provided a flight plan and tracking codes for their vessel, which Starscream intended to keep for himself. However, just as he was attempting to perform a deep-space probe to locate the craft's current resting place, either by coincidence or consequence, a Mini-Con distress beacon screamed to life, alerting all the other combatants to the Mini-Cons' current location. Starscream and the Decepticons took off through a space bridge, tracking the signal back to the source, and the Autobots pursued... {{storylink|The Balance of Power}}

After the Autobots relocated to Earth to escape the [[Unicron Singularity|gigantic black hole]] that was threatening Cybertron, Starscream and [[Thundercracker (Armada)|Thundercracker]] tracked them down. Optimus Prime and [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] intercepted the Decepticon pair before they could discover the location of their base, but in the mid-air combat that ensued, the villains' [[Cyber Key]] powers allowed them to gain the upper hand. Impaling Optimus Prime through the shoulder with his Cyber Key swords, Starscream broke off the battle and retraced the Autobots' flight path, looking for their base, evening managing to shoot Prime down when he attempted to pursue. Fortunately for the Autobots, their human ally [[Coby Hansen]] was able to get the base's shielding up in time to hide it from Starscream's prying eyes, and the Decepticon was then taken down by an unexpected blast from Optimus Prime's Cyber Key-powered cannons. {{storylink|The Devil's Dogfight! Coby's Courage}}

{{charstubfiction|{{Storylink|Deep Sea Discovery! Vector Prime}}}}

Following Megatron's disappearance in the explosion of the starship ''[[Atlantis]]'', Starscream took control of what small Decepticon force was currently active, and dispatched Thundercracker to [[Velocitron]] to obtain that world's [[Cyber Planet Key]]. Unsurprisingly, the Autobots defeated him and took the key for themselves. {{storylink|Fastest Dream! Hot Shot's Run}}

They also later obtained the key from [[Animatron|Jungle Planet]], where Starscream watched their victory from afar. {{storylink|Galaxy Force Mission.7}}
[[File:GFmanga8 super starscream.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]
With two keys and their focusing device the [[Omega Lock]] now gathered in one place, Starscream was able to send his newest recruit [[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]] to steal them all from the Autobots at once, then rejoined with him at the location of the third Cyber Planet Key, hidden on Earth itself. Optimus Prime and [[Vector Prime (Cybertron)|Vector Prime]] had followed Sideways, however, and a battle over the key broke out; although a blast from Optimus took off nearly half of Starscream's face, he still triumphed over the two Autobots, wrested the Earth key from its pedestal and added it to the Omega Lock. The combined energy of the three keys flowed into Starscream, transforming him into a skyscraper-sized giant. As if this were not enough, the activation of the Earth key also awoke an army of ancient Decepticons slumbering on Earth, who began laying siege to the planet at Starscream's command. {{storylink|Galaxy Force Mission.8}} The Autobots proved no match for Starscream's new powers, as he took Optimus down with his new Cyber Key blaster, blowing his chest open and exposing the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. When the Autobot aerial ace [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]] arrived with news that [[Primus]] had awoken, however, the bolstered Prime rose, protected from Starscream's blasts by the Matrix, and merged with Wing Saber into his "Sonic Wing" mode. The combined Autobots tore into Starscream, and the titanic Decepticon was vanquished in a huge explosion. {{storylink|Galaxy Force Mission.9}}

{{note|The ''Galaxy Force'' manga was cancelled before it could reach the end of the story, so it's unknown if Starscream would have returned in later chapters the way he did in the cartoon.}}

In addition to Thundercracker, Starscream had another soldier under his command during his time on Earth in the first stage of the black hole crisis: the bumbling [[Skywarp (Armada)|Skywarp]].

[[File:Starscream-GameBurn.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|Sephiroth! Sephiroth! 'Cause all bad guys walk in flames and not get burned to hell!]]
Starscream was stationed in [[Antarctica]], overseeing [[Decepticlone]] operations in recovering the [[Mini-Con storage panel]]s found in the area, using a human research center they overran as his base of operations. When the Autobots ventured too close, Starscream attacked (blowing up the hangar he was holed up in first), but was shot out of the sky and left for dead.

[[File:Starscream-Cmere.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Hey, look! Prime's a THROTTLED-bot! Get it? Throttle? Like choking? I'll be here all week. Tip your server.]]
Having survived his initial defeat, Starscream followed the Autobots to [[Alaska]]. There he collided his starship into a mountain in an attempt to crush them, but the Autobots escaped unscathed. This also gave them the chance to infiltrate the downed ship and free the captive Mini-Con [[Aftershock (Armada)|Aftershock]] from the control room. Starscream used his null laser cannons at full power in an attempt to finish off his foes, but only succeeded in cutting the rock face below the ship, which collapsed and sent the precariously balanced ship plunging into the valley below. The impact of the crash buried the bow deep into the earth, forcing the Autobots to climb their way up and out to the surface.

When the Autobots pulled free from the buried ship and got back to ground-level, Starscream attacked again. But this battle too ultimately ended in defeat, leading Optimus Prime to interrogate him as to the whereabouts of Megatron. When Starscream refused and attempted to fire his functional null ray at point-blank range, Optimus knocked him unconscious with a well-aimed punch. He then ordered Red Alert to hack the treacherous Decepticon's warp transponder, which led them to Megatron's [[Pacific Island]] base. {{storylink|Transformers (PS2)}}

[[File:Armada SS toy.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|He's Emo-tastic!]]
*'''Starscream with Swindle''' (Mega-Con, 2002/2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Port wing/sword, 2 "fireblast" missiles

: Starscream transforms into a Cybertronic jet fighter, loaded with electronic sound effects that function in both modes. Pulling back and releasing his rearmost Mini-Con port activates a take-off sound effect, while holding it follows up the sound with an extended engine roar that lasts a few seconds. Placing a Mini-Con on the port, such as his included partner [[Swindle (Armada)|Swindle]], releases two spring-activated over-shoulder spring-loaded missile launchers, and pulling back on the port with a Mini-Con attached triggers a laser-firing noise that lasts ''just'' long enough to be too long. Pressing his cockpit canopy activates a pulsing sound effect; Swindle can also snap into place under his nosecone, and pops free with an explosion effect when the canopy is pressed down hard. His left wing detaches and unfolds to form a large sword for use in robot mode.

: The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version of this toy uses a brighter light gray plastic, gold paint instead of yellow, more detailed, contiguous paint applications on the wings, and has a "separated" Decepticon sigil deco. The nosecone on the Japanese version is parallel to the rest of the jet mode, while the American version was retooled to slope downward [[for safety reasons]], making it "collapse" easier if pressed point-first into, say, your little brother.

: This mold was [[redeco]]ed to create ''Armada'' [[Thundercracker (Armada)|Thundercracker]], and [[retool]]ed to make ''Armada'' [[Skywarp (Armada)|Skywarp]] and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]].

**''Accessories:'' Port wing/sword, 2 "fireblast" missiles

: While this blue redeco of the ''Armada'' Starscream figure was released in Hasbro markets as the separate character of Thundercracker, Takara repurposed it as a powered-up version of Starscream, and used it as such in the [[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)|''Armada'' cartoon]]. The Takara toy is almost identical to Hasbro's Thundercracker, but uses darker, more vivid blue and red plastics, and has the parallel nosecone of the Takara Starscream.

: ''[[Built to Rule]]'' Starscream is a building-brick set that can be assembled into a Cybertronic fighter jet or a robot, or to whatever else you feel like. He came with a building-brick version of Swindle. The set features two missile launchers that use a unique "twist-block" pressure-launch mechanism.

: This set was later released in different colors as Thundercracker and [[Zapmaster (Armada)|Zapmaster]].

: The ''Energon'' version of ''Built To Rule'' Starscream was designed with a much more solid skeleton with larger, blockier limbs. He can be rebuilt from a Cybertronic jet fighter with pressure-launch missiles, to a robot, to basically whatever you feel like doing with the parts.

: Unfortunately, due to the slow performance of the ''Built to Rule'' line overall, the ''Energon'' versions only had a limited, test market release initially in and around Cincinnati, Ohio. The sets later filtered out into many "Tuesday Morning" chain discount stores at drastically dropped prices.

[[File:Superlink Nightscream Toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Takara Starscream, now with G1 sweetening.]]
*'''Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SD-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Energon sword, energon rifle, 2 missiles

: ''Energon'' Starscream transforms into a jet fighter loosely based upon the F/A-22 Raptor (which would later be used as the alt-mode of [[Starscream (Movie)|another Starscream]]), cast mostly in dark clear-green plastics to emphasize his "energon ghost" status. The toy also features numerous spots down the right-hand side of the robot mode's front, back, shoulder and wings where Starscream appears only partially-constructed, along with asymmetrical plastic-color layouts, to further enhance the "half-formed" effect—though [[Aaron Archer]] would later remark that he felt these design cues did not come across properly. He comes with two very large accessories, a sword and a non-firing blaster, which can combine to form a ''really'' large sword. In jet mode he has two wing-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers, which can flip up over his robot-mode shoulders for "Hyper Mode".

: The Japanese version of this mold, called '''Nightscream''', uses gray plastics instead of stony-blue, a lighter shade of red paint, and darker blue plastic and paint.

: There was much controversy upon the toy's announcement since at first glance it appears to be a simple [[retool]] of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Smokescreen (G2)|Smokescreen]]. However, Starscream is in fact an all-new mold which simply uses a similar transformation scheme.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Skyquake (G1)|Skyquake]] and [[Leozack]].

His Mini-Con partner was [[Zapmaster (Armada)|Zapmaster]] this time around rather than Swindle.

*'''Energon Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SD-19'''
**''Accessories:'' Sword, rifle, 2 missiles

: Representing Starscream in a powered-up form following his immersion in [[Super Energon]], ''Energon'' Starscream was redecoed into a more [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]-inspired color scheme, primarily light gray with blue and red accents. Though the sculpted "half-formed" sections remain, the figure's new paint layouts ignore them, sometimes painting directly over the top of them, which coupled with the figure's new lack of translucent plastic seems to suggest that this is a non-ghosty version of the character, though his asymmetrical arm coloration remains due to the use of [[unpaintable plastic]] needed for structural support. He was released under the name "Energon Starscream", thus making him ''Energon'' Energon Starscream, though when he was first listed in Walmart computers it was under the name "[[Skywarp (Armada)|Skywarp Interceptor]]", perhaps indicating an aborted intent for the toy.

: The Takara "Nightscream Rebirth" release of the toy is almost entirely different, using clear-blue plastics in the place of some of the solid-gray in the Hasbro version. Gray plastic was used in place of black, and many paint details were different. It also came with a yellow version of ''Energon'' [[Insecticon (Energon)|Insecticon]]'s [[Energon weapon|energon drill weapon]] and Decepticon-style [[Energon star|energon chip]]. This was the deco used for Starscream's powered up appearance in the ''Energon'' cartoon.

: The Hasbro version of this mold was used as the model for the [[#Attacktix|unreleased ''Attacktix'' vehicle-mode Starscream piece]].

*'''Starscream''' (Voyager, 2005)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GD-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher, missile, Decepticon [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] [[Cyber Planet Key]]

:Exclusive to Takara's ''Galaxy Force'' line, this version of Starscream draws much of its influence from [[Don Figueroa]]'s design for [[Starscream (G1)|Generation 1 Starscream]] in [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]]'s ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'', transforming into a Cybertronic starfighter. In both modes, plugging a [[Cyber Key]] into his back end flips out a spring-loaded blade from each arm. His spring-loaded missile launcher can be used as either a hand-held weapon, or mounted under his jet-mode nosecone. He comes with a Cybertron Decepticon Cyber Planet Key.

:Although essentially the "standard" version of ''Cybertron'' Starscream, this figure was not released in the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toyline, presumably so it would not interfere with the sales of the much larger (more expensive) Supreme Starscream toy (see below). A redeco would be made available later in the line (again [[#VsVector|see below]]).

*'''Starscream''' (Supreme, 2005)
**''Accessories:'' Missile, "Crown of Leadership", Decepticon Cybertron Cyber Key, Gold Earth Cyber Planet Key

: Supreme Starscream is a colossally-upscaled version of the Voyager-class Starscream toy, with quite a few changes. The most notable is the change in his Cyber Planet Key [[gimmick]]: each arm has a separate Key jack in it rather than the Voyager's single joint-jack. While the right arm still deploys a blade, the left arm now reveals a spring-loaded missile-firing "null laser cannon" with expanding prongs. The original back-mounted Key jack is still present, though it does not activate any gimmicks and merely serves as a Key storage space (a rarity among ''Cybertron'' toys). A second storage-only jack is found on the underside of the same assembly. The two small guns on the sides of his cockpit can swivel up to firing position in robot mode, and he also has several electronic light and sound gimmicks, including one activated by moving his sword-arm. His eyes are, for some strange reason, green.

: He comes with a Decepticon "Crown of Leadership", based on Generation 1 Starscream's crown from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' that fits over his noggin (which, together with his considerable size, has earned him the nickname "King Starscream" among fans.) He is also the only ''Cybertron'' toy to come with ''two'' Cyber Keys, a Decepticon Cybertron Key, and a gold-bordered Earth Planet Key. Both Keys have the [[Cyber Key Codes|Key Code]] "'''s5a3'''" [[tampograph]]ed on their backs. The placement of these accessories in the box varies in later releases.

: Supreme Starscream was released in the first wave of ''Cybertron'' toys, long before Starscream was transformed into a giant in the third quarter of the ''Cybertron'' cartoon. [[To sell toys|To sell]] this large, expensive figure at this early stage, a few other toys in the ''Cybertron'' line were changed—predominantly, the standard Voyager Starscream figure went unreleased in Hasbro markets. Also, to keep Starscream's Cybertron-style Cyber Key exclusive among the early figures, Jetfire and [[Overhaul (Cybertron)|Overhaul]]—who had Cybertron-style keys in the cartoon, and in the Takara toyline—had their keys changed to Earth and Jungle Planet keys respectively.

: In Japan, this toy was released as a Toys "R" Us exclusive, basically unchanged in US packaging.

: Part of the McDonald's ''Armada'' promotion, this version of Starscream is based on his larger toy and features a pull-back motor gimmick that propels his jet-mode forward, then leaps up to instantly convert to robot mode, like the [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] [[Jumpstarter]]s. In jet mode, he can combine with the other three Happy Meal Decepticons to form a goofy-looking [[Mighty Vehicle]].

: This unreleased Starscream is a missile launching piece based on his [[#EnergonEnergon|"''Energon'' Energon" form's vehicle mode]]. His vehicle form can detach from his base and fly on a string, enabling him to get better shots at opposing pieces, or even airlift allies (or enemies... is that a legal move?). His "Transform" power would probably allow you to bring any Starscream figure into play from your back-ups—making Starscream an even more effective figure when working with Skywarp. But as the toy was never released, we'll never know.

: Several pieces of this mold would also have been used to make [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Attacktix|Generation 1 Skywarp]], who also went unreleased.

==Notes==
* According to the [[Transformers (PS2)|''Armada'' video game]]'s instruction booklet, Starscream (in his ''Armada''-era body) has the following statistics:
*:Height: 19' 7" (15' 1" vehicle mode length)
*:Weight: 22,050 lbs
*:Thrust: 28,000 lbs
*:Vehicle Top Speed: Mach 2.7
[[File:Speaker.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|Starscream's emptiness can only be filled by love or electronics.]]
* ''Armada'' Starscream's body parts made frequent cameos in the CGI models of the generic Decepticon and Autobot soldiers during the ''Energon'' cartoon series, despite Starscream not actually ever appearing in his ''Armada'' body during the series.
* It's a popular rumor that the Starscream who appears in ''Super Link'' (the Japanese version of ''Energon'') is not the original, but a clone. Popular, but entirely wrong. Although not ''explicitly'' referred to with the name "Starscream" in dialogue, he is identified as one of Megatron's former soldiers, randomly given a new name by Alpha Q, and things just roll on from there without a backward look.
* ''Cybertron'' Voyager Starscream was designed with a [[soundbox]] in mind (even including the requisite speaker and battery brackets when you crack one open), but the final Hasbro and Takara versions have no electronics.
* Starscream's arc across the end of ''Armada'' and the beginning of ''Energon'', in which he is [[Cramp|killed by Galvatron]] while Unicron was causing trouble, returned in ghostly form, and his complete resurrection within Unicron, is reminiscent of [[Starscream's Ghost|his]] [[Ghost in the Machine (episode)|arc]] in the third season of [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the original cartoon]].

Thundercracker (Armada)

{{disambig3|Thundercracker}}
:''Thundercracker is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]] and [[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] portions of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] continuity family.''

[[File:ArmadaThundercracker.jpg|273px|thumb|Say, haven't I seen you somewhere before?]]
'''Thundercracker''' suffered from low self-esteem and longed for approval from authority figures to validate his existence. He was willing to work as hard as necessary to gain attention and praise from [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], but when all his efforts were ignored or taken for granted, he grew frustrated. Thundercracker felt the need to engage in ever more risky and reckless behavior in an attempt to gain Megatron's notice. Many predicted this would lead to his destruction.

When next we see Thundercracker it is over ten years later, loyally serving under [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] during the search for the [[Cyber Planet Key]]s. In the intervening years he became something of a jokester and goofball. This has often gained him the attention that he craves. Though frequently, especially when Megatron is the brunt of the joke, it is far from positive attention. Thundercracker doesn't seem mature enough to tell the difference, but he does know when to get the smelt out of Decepticon HQ before Megatron looks for someone to pummel.

{{Note|The [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] ''[[More than Meets the Eye: Transformers: Armada|More Than Meets The Eye]]'' profile book series for ''Armada'' portrays Thundercracker very differently, as a former Decepticon who left the army centuries ago. However, this does not seem to mesh with the glimpses of unreleased ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' comic issues where Thundercracker, along with several other ''Armada''-series characters, show up in the present day.}}

===Cartoon continuity===
====''Armada'' cartoon====
[[File:Puppet i look like thundercracker.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|"I look just like that toy I'm not!"]]

When both the Autobots and Decepticons encountered the powerful [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]] on a strange world, they were thoroughly thrashed by the evil [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] look-alike. The Mini-Cons accompanying the Autobots joined together to repair the Transformers and give them extra power. When Starscream gained his new coloration, he stated with distaste that he looked just like Thundercracker. {{storylink|Puppet}}

[[File:CybThundercracker.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|He puts the "cracker" in "Thundercracker". A-hyuck!]]

Thundercracker was first seen ten years after the end of the Energon War. Issued with orders from Megatron to look for and attack whatever Autobots he could find, Thundercracker opened a warp gate to Earth. Before emerging, he scanned a nearby Sukhoi Su-35 jet for disguise. He apparently liked it, saying, "Now ''this'' is a shape that can do some damage!"

Thundercracker soon spotted [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]] walking through a Colorado forest with [[Coby Hansen|three]] [[Bud Hansen|human]] [[Lori Jiménez|children]]. He attempted to blitz the group with missiles, only to miss completely. He then found himself tangling with an airborne Optimus Prime, whose Super Mode proved impervious to missile fire. When Prime detonated Thundercracker's next missile volley in the Decepticon's own face, 'Cracker beat a hasty retreat via warp gate. {{Storylink|Fallen (episode)|Fallen}}

Later, Jetfire caught Thundercracker harassing two human-piloted fighter planes. Jetfire took several hits Thundercracker's missiles to keep the planes safe long enough for [[Vector Prime (Cybertron)|Vector Prime]] to teleport them to safety, robbing the Decepticon of his fun. Thundercracker got some digs in by easily dodging fire from Jetfire's robot mode, but was stopped in shock as Jetfire summoned his [[Cyber Key]] for the first time. He was promptly blasted by the Autobot's newly activated shoulder guns.

The next time Thundercracker clashed with the Autobots was outside a museum where they were investigating a lead on the Omega Lock. Thundercracker revealed that ''he'' was now able to summon a Cyber Key, resulting in stronger shots. Starscream called for his own Cyber Key, and the battle was going in the Decepticons' favor until Landmine arrived. After a false start, Landmine knocked Starscream down, and then activated ''his'' Cyber Key, creating a gust of wind that not only knocked Thundercracker backwards but crashed one of his own missiles into him. Poor Thundercracker. {{Storylink|Landmine (episode)|Landmine}}

{{charstubfiction}}

Back outside the boundaries of the [[Unicron Singularity]], Thundercracker and the few remaining Decepticons still loyal to Galvatron were given a boost of Omega Lock power, super-sizing them so they could take on the massed armies that had gathered from all of the colony worlds to oppose them. Thundercracker took on Optimus Prime himself to give Galvatron time to achieve his goal. However, Thundercracker was then gang-attacked by [[Overhaul (Cybertron)|Leobreaker]], [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]], [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]], and [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]], giving Prime the opportunity to chase Galvatron into the black hole.

Thundercracker continued to fight and very nearly came directly into the path of the singularity-collapsing cannon-blast from the massive [[Ark (Cybertron)|''Ark'' starship]].

After the defeat of Galvatron and the closing of the Unicron Singularity, Thundercracker realized that Galvatron was going to let him die in the cataclysm that his plan would have caused, so he ran off along with the other now-de-powered Decepticons. When the rocket boosters that were built on the [[Animatron|Jungle Planet]] to push the world back to its normal place in the cosmos began to fail, the four Decepticons arrived, cackling...and helped with the efforts to keep the thrusters upright and functional, deciding to try being on the winning team for once.

[[File:Thundercracker-Autobot.jpg|thumb|Thundercracker gits 'er done.]]
Thundercracker then spent most of his time on Earth under the supervision of Mudflap, helping rebuild cities damaged by the Singularity's effects. When the Autobots were ready to begin their [[space bridge|Space Bridge]] initiative, Thundercracker went to see off his new "best friend", Optimus Prime. Unfortunately, he ran across his former Decepticon allies, who were sick of trying to fit in and so had built a ramshackle rocket and taken off to form the [[New Decepticon Army]]. The trio shanghaied Thundercracker, who ''really'' didn't want to join them, and took off for parts unknown.

They made it as far as [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] before the rocket crashed. Poor Thundercracker wound up with his head buried in the ground, although presumably he wasn't stranded. {{Storylink|Beginning}}

[[File:Armada Thundercracker toy.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|DEAD GRAY EYES.]]
*'''Thundercracker with Zapmaster''' (Max-Con, 2003)
**''Accessories'': Wing-sword, 2 "blast" missiles

: Thundercracker is a [[redeco]] of ''Armada'' [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], transforming into a Cybertronic fighter jet. In both modes, pressing down on his cockpit canopy activates electronic sound effects; in jet mode, it also deploys his [[Mini-Con]] partner [[Zapmaster (Armada)|Zapmaster]] if he is stored under the cockpit. Plugging a Mini-Con onto his rearmost [[Powerlinx]] plug releases two spring-activated over-shoulder spring-loaded missile launchers, as well as more electronic sound effects. His left wing detaches and unfolds to form a large sword for use in robot mode. He is something of a rarity in the Armada line, in that he is a redeco that is a new, separate character rather than a "[[Powerlinx]]" upgrade of an existing character.

: This mold was [[retool]]ed to make ''Armada'' [[Skywarp (Armada)|Skywarp]] and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]].

:In Japan, Thundercracker's toy is simply a "powered up" version of Starscream.

*'''Thundercracker''' (Built to Rule, 2003)

: For the ''[[Built to Rule]]'' line, Thundercracker was once again a redeco, a new-color version of the Starscream set. He can be assembled into a Cybertronic fighter jet or a robot, or to whatever else you feel like making out of the blocks provided (or any blocks you feel like adding). He came with a building-brick version of Zapmaster. The set features two missile launchers that use a unique "twist-block" pressure-launch mechanism. He was one of the last of the Transformers ''Built To Rule'' toys released at wide retail.

*'''Thundercracker''' (Deluxe, 2005)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''GD-02'''
**''Accessories'': Drone rocket, Earth Cyber Key

: Part of the first wave of the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' series, Thundercracker transforms into a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Su-35 Sukhoi Su-35] fighter jet. Inserting a [[Cyber Key]] into his rear fuselage pops up the back panel, revealing a spring-loaded missile launcher. This assembly becomes his left forearm in robot mode, despite being almost as long as he is tall. He came with a silver-bordered [[Earth]]-style Cyber Key; the [[Hasbro]] release has the [[Cyber Key Codes|Key Code]] "'''d98d'''" [[tampograph]]ed on the back of it.

: The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''Galaxy Force'' release of the toy is slightly different from the later [[Hasbro]] ''Cybertron'' release, mainly the Hasbro version added a Decepticon insignia to the missile-launcher cover.

: This mold was also used to make ''Cybertron'' [[Skywarp (Armada)|Skywarp]] and [[Movie (toyline)|live-action movie continuity]] [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]].

:Thundercracker's instructions show him with his wings sitting somewhat high and his left arm relying on the stiffness of its swivel to stay up. On the Hasbro version of the mold, a defect makes this swivel loose, and as a result his heavy left arm tends to fall down. This was finally remedied with the addition of a pin for [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]]. However, a closer look at Thundercracker reveals his instructions screwed up. His wing assembly is supposed to sit lower on his body, and the left arm is supposed to swivel in farther, locking in place between the chest and the wings.

==Notes==
* According to [[Joe Kyde]], the reason for ''Armada'' Thundercracker's red face was because the gray plastic used to make the eyes is [[unpaintable plastic]], so he changed the original plan from gray face and red eyes to red face and gray eyes.
* According to the ''Transformers Armada The Ultimate 3D Combat Files: Dark Invaders'', Thundercracker is Starscream, upgraded by Unicron. Just no.
* In ''Cybertron'', Thundercracker, like [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] before him and [[Tutor Bot]] after him, is regularly injured for comedic purposes. Something in which Ransack and Crumplezone later join him.
* One of Thundercracker's lines in the episode "[[Inferno (episode)|Inferno]]", as well as several other episodes, is "[[wikipedia:Larry the Cable Guy|git 'r' done]]". Seriously.
[[File:Darkness-TCrackerROUD.jpg|thumb|WHEEEE!]]
* Between his "Rain of Ultimate DEEE-struction" in ''[[Darkness (episode)|Darkness]]'' and his [[Super Electric Lightning Thundercrackin' Punch|"Super 'Lectric Lightnin' Thundercrackin' Punch"]] in ''[[Ambush]]'', Thundercracker seems particularly fond of making up ridiculously dramatic attack names. Strangely enough, the attacks ''themselves'' proved to be effective, but whether this says more about Thundercracker or his target ([[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]], both cases) is hard to say.
* In the last episode of ''Cybertron'', Thundercracker showed no signs of hard feelings towards the Autobots, and was even shown working hard on the Space Bridge for them. Even later when he is shanghaied by his former allies, he is shown wearing a rather badly drawn Autobot symbol on his chest. This stands in some contrast to his [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] namesake, who hated anything that couldn't fly but felt doubts when innocent [[human]] lives were in danger.
* Of all the Decepticons in the ''Cybertron'' cartoon, Thundercracker is the only one who stayed loyal to Megatron/Galvatron from start to finish (well, at least till Galvatron betrayed ''him'').
* Thundercracker's ''Cybertron'' toy is a design homage to the Machine Wars version of G1 Thundercracker.

Before emerging, he scanned a nearby Sukhoi Su-35 jet for disguise. He apparently liked it, saying, "Now ''this'' is a shape that can do some damage!"

Thundercracker soon spotted [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]] walking through a Colorado forest with [[Coby Hansen|three]] [[Bud Hansen|human]] [[Lori Jiménez|children]]. He attempted to blitz the group with missiles, only to miss completely. He then found himself tangling with an airborne Optimus Prime, whose Super Mode proved impervious to missile fire. When Prime detonated Thundercracker's next missile volley in the Decepticon's own face, 'Cracker beat a hasty retreat via warp gate. {{Storylink|Fallen (episode)|Fallen}}

Later, Jetfire caught Thundercracker harassing two human-piloted fighter planes. Jetfire took several hits Thundercracker's missiles to keep the planes safe long enough for [[Vector Prime (Cybertron)|Vector Prime]] to teleport them to safety, robbing the Decepticon of his fun. Thundercracker got some digs in by easily dodging fire from Jetfire's robot mode, but was stopped in shock as Jetfire summoned his [[Cyber Key]] for the first time. He was promptly blasted by the Autobot's newly activated shoulder guns.

The next time Thundercracker clashed with the Autobots was outside a museum where they were investigating a lead on the Omega Lock. Thundercracker revealed that ''he'' was now able to summon a Cyber Key, resulting in stronger shots. Starscream called for his own Cyber Key, and the battle was going in the Decepticons' favor until Landmine arrived. After a false start, Landmine knocked Starscream down, and then activated ''his'' Cyber Key, creating a gust of wind that not only knocked Thundercracker backwards but crashed one of his own missiles into him. Poor Thundercracker. {{Storylink|Landmine (episode)|Landmine}}

{{charstubfiction}}

Back outside the boundaries of the [[Unicron Singularity]], Thundercracker and the few remaining Decepticons still loyal to Galvatron were given a boost of Omega Lock power, super-sizing them so they could take on the massed armies that had gathered from all of the colony worlds to oppose them. Thundercracker took on Optimus Prime himself to give Galvatron time to achieve his goal. However, Thundercracker was then gang-attacked by [[Overhaul (Cybertron)|Leobreaker]], [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]], [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]], and [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]], giving Prime the opportunity to chase Galvatron into the black hole.

Thundercracker continued to fight and very nearly came directly into the path of the singularity-collapsing cannon-blast from the massive [[Ark (Cybertron)|''Ark'' starship]].

After the defeat of Galvatron and the closing of the Unicron Singularity, Thundercracker realized that Galvatron was going to let him die in the cataclysm that his plan would have caused, so he ran off along with the other now-de-powered Decepticons. When the rocket boosters that were built on the [[Animatron|Jungle Planet]] to push the world back to its normal place in the cosmos began to fail, the four Decepticons arrived, cackling...and helped with the efforts to keep the thrusters upright and functional, deciding to try being on the winning team for once.

[[File:Thundercracker-Autobot.jpg|thumb|Thundercracker gits 'er done.]]
Thundercracker then spent most of his time on Earth under the supervision of Mudflap, helping rebuild cities damaged by the Singularity's effects. When the Autobots were ready to begin their [[space bridge|Space Bridge]] initiative, Thundercracker went to see off his new "best friend", Optimus Prime. Unfortunately, he ran across his former Decepticon allies, who were sick of trying to fit in and so had built a ramshackle rocket and taken off to form the [[New Decepticon Army]]. The trio shanghaied Thundercracker, who ''really'' didn't want to join them, and took off for parts unknown.

They made it as far as [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] before the rocket crashed. Poor Thundercracker wound up with his head buried in the ground, although presumably he wasn't stranded. {{Storylink|Beginning}}

*'''Thundercracker with Zapmaster''' (Max-Con, 2003)
**''Accessories'': Wing-sword, 2 "blast" missiles

: Thundercracker is a [[redeco]] of ''Armada'' [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], transforming into a Cybertronic fighter jet. In both modes, pressing down on his cockpit canopy activates electronic sound effects; in jet mode, it also deploys his [[Mini-Con]] partner [[Zapmaster (Armada)|Zapmaster]] if he is stored under the cockpit. Plugging a Mini-Con onto his rearmost [[Powerlinx]] plug releases two spring-activated over-shoulder spring-loaded missile launchers, as well as more electronic sound effects. His left wing detaches and unfolds to form a large sword for use in robot mode. He is something of a rarity in the Armada line, in that he is a redeco that is a new, separate character rather than a "[[Powerlinx]]" upgrade of an existing character.

: This mold was [[retool]]ed to make ''Armada'' [[Skywarp (Armada)|Skywarp]] and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]].

:In Japan, Thundercracker's toy is simply a "powered up" version of Starscream.

He can be assembled into a Cybertronic fighter jet or a robot, or to whatever else you feel like making out of the blocks provided (or any blocks you feel like adding). He came with a building-brick version of Zapmaster. The set features two missile launchers that use a unique "twist-block" pressure-launch mechanism. He was one of the last of the Transformers ''Built To Rule'' toys released at wide retail.

: Part of the first wave of the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' series, Thundercracker transforms into a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Su-35 Sukhoi Su-35] fighter jet. Inserting a [[Cyber Key]] into his rear fuselage pops up the back panel, revealing a spring-loaded missile launcher. This assembly becomes his left forearm in robot mode, despite being almost as long as he is tall. He came with a silver-bordered [[Earth]]-style Cyber Key; the [[Hasbro]] release has the [[Cyber Key Codes|Key Code]] "'''d98d'''" [[tampograph]]ed on the back of it.

: The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''Galaxy Force'' release of the toy is slightly different from the later [[Hasbro]] ''Cybertron'' release, mainly the Hasbro version added a Decepticon insignia to the missile-launcher cover.

: This mold was also used to make ''Cybertron'' [[Skywarp (Armada)|Skywarp]] and [[Movie (toyline)|live-action movie continuity]] [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]].

:Thundercracker's instructions show him with his wings sitting somewhat high and his left arm relying on the stiffness of its swivel to stay up. On the Hasbro version of the mold, a defect makes this swivel loose, and as a result his heavy left arm tends to fall down. This was finally remedied with the addition of a pin for [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]]. However, a closer look at Thundercracker reveals his instructions screwed up. His wing assembly is supposed to sit lower on his body, and the left arm is supposed to swivel in farther, locking in place between the chest and the wings.

==Notes==
* According to [[Joe Kyde]], the reason for ''Armada'' Thundercracker's red face was because the gray plastic used to make the eyes is [[unpaintable plastic]], so he changed the original plan from gray face and red eyes to red face and gray eyes.
* According to the ''Transformers Armada The Ultimate 3D Combat Files: Dark Invaders'', Thundercracker is Starscream, upgraded by Unicron. Just no.
* In ''Cybertron'', Thundercracker, like [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] before him and [[Tutor Bot]] after him, is regularly injured for comedic purposes. Something in which Ransack and Crumplezone later join him.
* One of Thundercracker's lines in the episode "[[Inferno (episode)|Inferno]]", as well as several other episodes, is "[[wikipedia:Larry the Cable Guy|git 'r' done]]". Seriously.
[[File:Darkness-TCrackerROUD.jpg|thumb|WHEEEE!]]
* Between his "Rain of Ultimate DEEE-struction" in ''[[Darkness (episode)|Darkness]]'' and his [[Super Electric Lightning Thundercrackin' Punch|"Super 'Lectric Lightnin' Thundercrackin' Punch"]] in ''[[Ambush]]'', Thundercracker seems particularly fond of making up ridiculously dramatic attack names. Strangely enough, the attacks ''themselves'' proved to be effective, but whether this says more about Thundercracker or his target ([[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]], both cases) is hard to say.
* In the last episode of ''Cybertron'', Thundercracker showed no signs of hard feelings towards the Autobots, and was even shown working hard on the Space Bridge for them. Even later when he is shanghaied by his former allies, he is shown wearing a rather badly drawn Autobot symbol on his chest. This stands in some contrast to his [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] namesake, who hated anything that couldn't fly but felt doubts when innocent [[human]] lives were in danger.
* Of all the Decepticons in the ''Cybertron'' cartoon, Thundercracker is the only one who stayed loyal to Megatron/Galvatron from start to finish (well, at least till Galvatron betrayed ''him'').
* Thundercracker's ''Cybertron'' toy is a design homage to the Machine Wars version of G1 Thundercracker.

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

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

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

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

====''Transformers'' film====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Jimmie Wood]] (English)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

{{note|Bonecrusher's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels “[[Transformers (novel)|Transformers]],” “[[Transformers: The Junior Novel]]” and "[[The Quest for the AllSpark]]," the comic mini-series "[[Transformers: Movie Adaptation]],” the activity book "[[Look and Find Transformers]]," and the storybooks “[[Optimus Prime Versus Megatron]],” "[[Meet the Decepticons]]," "[[Transformers Mix & Match]]" and "[[Transformers: The Movie Storybook]]."}}

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

{{notetitantlg}}
[[Image:Titan11_Bonecrusher.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Should we tell him we don't have bones?" "Nah. He'd hate that."]]
Bonecrusher was surprisingly still alive and was in charge of security at the Decepticon's [[AllSpark]] holding facility. Although he was happy that he has his arm and head reattached, he hated his job, as he was just a glorified drone director, and not able to kill anything himself. Thus, when he learned that Ironhide and Ratchet were trying to get into the facility, he decided to let the two Autobot infiltrators in, just so he could personally confront and kill them. So he not only disliked his job, he also wasn't very good at it. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} His fists hated on Ironhide's face before Ratchet stepped in, tearing the Decepticon up with offensive weaponry. [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee's]] team arrived to take out the Swindles, leaving Ironhide and Ratchet free to bash up Bonecrusher {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}}; you'd think he would have hated this and wanted it to stop, but when the Autobots got pinned down by [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drone fire, Bonecrusher ''tore apart his own troops'' to reach and kill the Autobots. He fought Ironhide again and this time lost, and may have been blown up with the AllSpark. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

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

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

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

Bonecrusher was one of many warriors who fought for Megatron on Cybertron before the planet was ultimately abandoned. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}

[[Image:Movie BarricadeBonecrusher protoforms.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Bonecrusher's pre-Earth body. Bonecrusher hates retro-designs.]]

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

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

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

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:Moviebonecrushertoy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The name's doomed to be nothing but bulldozers or buffaloes. And he hates that.]]
*'''Bonecrusher''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MD-09'''

: Bonecrusher transforms into a [[wikipedia:Buffalo_(mine_protected_vehicle)|Buffalo mine-protected vehicle]], with an articulated "mine-fork" for removing mines or cars or robots or unsuspecting buildings from his path. Although the fork is packaged with its sets of tines opposing one another, they can be rotated into a more appropriate side-by-side vehicle mode configuration, which the instructions fail to call out. He has six rolling wheels in this mode, and two sculpted, non-functional spare wheels.

: His robot mode is, like most of the movie toys, based on pre-final design work, explaining his ''extremely'' long extensible arms as seen on some concept art. The mine-fork splits to form a grabber-claw, which can snap onto victims with a geared slider [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] mechanism. His hips can often detach from the codpiece holding them together.

: He is extremely short compared to many contemporary Deluxes.

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

: This [[Sam's Club]]-[[exclusive]] three-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe Class Bonecrusher together with equally unchanged Deluxe Class [[Brawl (Movie)#JazzBonecrusherBrawl3pack|Decepticon Brawl]] and [[Jazz (Movie)#JazzBonecrusherBrawl3pack|Autobot Jazz]] toys. It also comes with a nifty poster depicting all three toys in a standoff scene. Not so nifty is that the box accidentally places Brawl and Bonecrusher's bios underneath each other.

*'''Jungle Bonecrusher''' (Deluxe, 2008)

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

*'''The Fury of Bonecrusher''' (multi-pack, 2010)

: ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers:]] [[Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' Bonecrusher is a redeco of his Deluxe Class toy, with his darker brown plastic replaced with olive green, and featuring metallic and battle-damage [[paint operation]]s placed asymmetrically on his body. One of his eyes is also painted over with black, reminding us of how one of his eyes popped out when Optimus Prime ''cut his head off''. The problem with the claw arm popping off has also been fixed. This [[Walmart]]-exclusive two-pack also contained [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 3|a redeco of Recon Ironhide]] and a "Most Wanted" collector's card for Bonecrusher.

* '''Bonecrusher''' (2007)

: A 34-point "uncommon" character in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]], Bonecrusher is formed from pieces punched out from two different cards and can be assembled to form a mine-clearing vehicle or a robot. He also comes with a third card providing stats for his attacks in each mode. Bonecrusher uses the same parts layout as [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] from the movie continuity and [[Bonecrusher (G1)|"Classic" Bonecrusher]] and [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] from Generation 1.

*'''Transformers Tournament Set'''

: Available exclusively in this set, this Attacktix playing piece of Bonecrusher is funnily enough one of the most accurate pieces of merchandise he has. The set also includes unique playing pieces of Optimus Prime, Megatron and Bumblebee. Bonecrusher hates the fact that everybody else has [[Cannon|guns]], and he has to use a claw. He also hates the fact that the attacktix line was canceled before he was released.

*'''Optimus Prime vs Bonecrusher''' (2009)
**''Series:'' '''Battle Series'''
**''Number:'' '''03 of 08'''

:As a ''[[Robot Powered Machines]]'' "Mini-Vehicle", Bonecrusher is a small, non-transforming Buffalo with his robot mode sculpted on its underside. He features through-axle construction similar to the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]]s, letting him zip along smooth surfaces (and compatible racetrack sets) at high speed. Bonecrusher was only available in a two-pack with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].

:In Europe, the names on the packaging are [[Mudflap (ROTF) |Mudflap]] Vs. [[Skids (ROTF) |Skids]] for some reason. Bonecrusher hates packaging errors.

:As part of the final wave of RPMs, Battle Series 2 did not get released through normal retail outlets in the United States, instead showing up for sale first in Canada, Asia and Europe. Later, though, it would show up in the US though [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs Express]] mall stores and discount chains like Ross and TJ Maxx.

*'''Ironhide vs Bonecrusher''' (2007)

:Bonecrusher comes packaged with the impressively-armed [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. He is depicted lunging forward on his roller-skate feet, presumably to deliver an extremely enthusiastic hug. This figurine is notorious for not actually being able to stand up on its feet very well, usually requiring one of its hands to be used for balance.

==Notes==
[[Image:PhotoshopedBuffalo.PNG|right|250px|thumb|*Giant fork and Decepticon insignia not included with the real Buffalo.* Bonecrusher hates those disclaimers.]]
* The real Buffalo mine-sweeping vehicle doesn't have such a huge fork. It is only 14 inches (35 centimeters) wide. The image that inspired Bonecrusher's design was actually a Photoshopped image put on the official Force Protection company's site to make it look more impressive.<ref>[http://www.forceprotection.net/models/buffalo/]</ref> A 10-foot-wide (3 meter) appliance had to be fixed on Bonecrusher's arm for the movie.
* Force Protection loves Bonecrusher and the fact that he has picked their Buffalo as its alternate mode. They are actually quite proud of it.<ref>[http://www.forceprotection.net/news/transformers.html]</ref>
* Bonecrusher's toy was used as a prop for a CNN Headline News report demonstrating the real Buffalo vehicle's mine-sweeping arm.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maAWP2uVd7M]</ref>
* According to a press kit sent out in conjunction with the movie, Bonecrusher is "another [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]" who "forms [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]'s left arm".<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20110721045136/http://numberonestars.com/transformers/production/decepticons.htm Decepticons: The “bad guys” in Transformers race]</ref> Thus far, there have been no reports of people using Bonecrusher as one of Brawl's arms, left or otherwise.
* At various points during his fight with Optimus Prime, Bonecrusher emits some garbled roars that ''might'' be English. However, there is little agreement among viewers as to what he might be saying, and indeed, whether he even said anything at all. The subtitles and closed captions for the film do not identify any dialogue, just labeling it as "roaring". (Someone should really ask Jimmie Wood.) Considering the large amount of untranslated Cybertronic gibberish emitted by various Decepticons during the sequel ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', it seems most likely that Bonecrusher isn't intended to be saying anything comprehensible to human ears.
* Bonecrusher is [[Michael Bay]]'s favorite character from the film, despite his limited screentime—so much so that Bay named [[Bonecrusher (dog)|his new dog]] after him.
* In one of [[Hasbro Q&A|Hasbro's bimonthly Q & As]], it was revealed that, in retrospect, Hasbro thought a Voyager-class figure would have been a better fit for the figure than the Deluxe.
* Bonecrusher's sequences were particularly difficult for [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] to do at first. The solution came from videotaping employees rollerblading in the parking lot, and a pair of fighting experts going through the motions wanted for Bonecrusher and Prime, then using that footage as references.<ref>''Transformers'' DVD commentary</ref>
* Last but not least, Bonecrusher hates ''[[you]]''.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Bonecrusher''' (ボーンクラッシャー ''Bōnkurasshā'')

Blitzjoans: /* Notes */

{{disambig3|Generations}}
[[File:TF-Generations-logo.jpg|550x250px|center]]
[[File:Generations 2015 Toyline logo.png|thumb|upright=0.8|Insignia-like logo used on packaging for late 2014-onward Generations toys, in combination with the [[:File:Transformers 2014 logo.png|new generic ''Transformers'' logo]].]]
'''''Transformers: Generations''''' is a line of figures launched in 2010. Like the earlier 2006 ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' and 2008 [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'']] lines, along with much of the 2010 [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'']] line, it aims to recreate older ''Transformers'' characters as new toys and celebrate the history of the brand. The line lapsed after the end of 2011, but was relaunched in mid-2012 and has run continuously ever since.

The ''Generations'' line can be divided into three "eras", each of which saw a new logo, new packaging designs, and new product assortment numbers.

==Original line (2010–2011)==
{{anchor|2010-11}}
The initial ''Generations'' line featured only [[Size class|Deluxe Class]] toys, and included both characters from the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' video game, and “modernised G1” figures in the spirit of the previous ''Classics'' and ''Universe'' toylines. In a first for the franchise, the [[Drift (G1)|Drift]] toy and its [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] [[retool]] were based directly on designs created by [[Guido Guidi]] for [[IDW Generation 1 continuity|IDW's Generation 1 comic universe]]. The earlier waves of figures sported advertising for [[Hub Network|The Hub]] or ''War for Cybertron''.

===Asian market exclusives ("GDO")===
[[File:GenerationsAsianDeluxes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Asian market exclusive packaging for Cliffjumper, Springer, Swerve and Wheelie (top) and North American market ToysЯUs exclusive packaging (bottom).]]
In mid-2012, Hasbro's Asian division released a variety of [[redeco]]s and [[retool]]s in their markets such as China, Singapore and the Philippines. This lineup, which featured the same general packaging design as the 2010–2011 figures, introduced the first non-Deluxe toys in the line (as ''Generations'' had been limited to the Deluxe price point up to that point). Western online retailers referred to these figures under the mysterious term "GDO" (which was later revealed to be an abbreviation for "Global Development Organization"<ref name="gdo">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/637547-i-found-out-what-gdo-means.html TFW2005 thread] containing an answer by Hasbro's customer service regarding the meaning of the term "GDO".</ref>).

Hasbro's United States and Canadian divisions later decided to release all these figures in North America as well, as a ''massive'' batch of [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] exclusives for the 2012 holiday shopping season. Strangely, while the Asian market versions were released in standard English-only packaging, the versions available in the United States and Canada came in [[multilingual packaging|bilingual]] English/Chinese packaging. Also, the Deluxes came packaged in their [[alternate mode]]s, whereas the Asian versions were packaged in [[robot mode]].

After a six-month hiatus, the ''Generations'' line was relaunched mid-2012, starting out the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' toyline with eight Deluxe Class figures. The line continued into 2013, with Legends and Voyager Classes being introduced too. Unlike the previous [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], now absorbed into ''[[Cyberverse]]'' under the name 'Legion Class', these new products consisted of two-packs of [[data disc]] [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]] figures designed to interact with the Voyager Class [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] mold.

===''Thrilling 30'' (2013-2014)===
{{anchor|Thrilling 30}}
[[File:Thrilling30.png|upright=1.4|center]]{{-}}
In mid-2013, ''Generations'' was rebranded to become part of Hasbro's ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' anniversary campaign, which saw the line return to the ''Classics''/''Universe''-style updates of older characters. This refresh was notable for introducing close ties with [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''Transformers'' material – many toys were based on designs from comics, and every Deluxe figure was packaged with a comic issue. The format of Legends Class was also changed, now including a vaguely ''Cyberverse'' Commander-sized figure with a smaller, triple-changing partner. ''Thrilling 30'' saw two new size classes introduced to the line – 2013 featured the huge Titan Class [[Metroplex (G1)#Generations|Metroplex]] figure, whilst 2014 debuted Leader Class with [[Jetfire (G1)#Generations|Jetfire]].

For 2013, toys featured packaging art by [[Clayton Crain]] and the Deluxe pack-in comics were ''[[The Transformers: Spotlight|Spotlight]]'' issues. Continuing into 2014, the included issues tied into the "[[Dark Cybertron (IDW)|Dark Cybertron]]" story and [[Phil Jimenez]], who helped plan and draw that event, took over package art duties.

==''Combiner Wars'' (2015–)==
{{anchor|Combiner Wars}}
[[File:Combiner Wars logo.png|600px|center]]{{-}}
For 2015, the line was given another [[subline imprint]] titled ''Combiner Wars'', which saw Deluxe, Voyager and some Legends figures able to form [[combiner]] robots. The format for Legends Class was changed once again, dropping the small partner figures of the ''Thrilling 30'' line.

The packaging of IDW comic books with US Deluxes continued, whilst Legends, Voyagers and non-US Deluxes gained collector cards featuring art from the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game. However, due to production schedule problems,<ref>[http://bwtf.com/events/toyfair2015/interview-part1 Interview with Jerry Jivoin at BWTF.com]</ref> Deluxe wave 1's initial US release featured the collector cards. Along with the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' line, ''Combiner Wars'' also heralded the return of [[multilingual packaging]] to the United States market, now in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. The sole exception to this was the Deluxe figures packaged with comic books, which retained monolingual packaging.

==="GDO" Cyber Series figures===
Three years after a large batch of redecos and retools had been created for Hasbro's Asian markets (with North American Toys"R"Us branches later picking them up as exclusives), Hasbro's Global Development Organization ("GDO") division was given a budget to design entirely new toys. Taking a cue from the [[tail-ender|tail-end]] ''[[Beast Hunters]]'' Deluxe and Voyager Class figures (with the Deluxes having ended up being available only in international markets such as Asia and Europe not by design but by circumstance), most of these figures were based on smaller figures from the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Transformers: Prime]]'' ''[[Cyberverse]]'' Legion Class, ''Generations'' Thrilling 30 Legends Class and [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'']] Legion Class ranges, with the designs upsized to roughly Deluxe or Voyager size, keeping the engineering mostly unchanged. These figures were not only released in Hasbro's Asian markets this time, but also in Latin American markets.

==Japan==
[[TakaraTomy]] initially had ''[[Transformers United]]'' as their counterpart to the first phase of the ''Generations'' line. In 2012, with the revival of the Hasbro ''Generations'' line, TakaraTomy decided to use the same name for their successor to the ''United'' toyline. Similarly to ''United'', many of the figures have been given "premium" paint jobs, being coated in shiny paint and featuring numerous additional paint details. Japanese ''Generations'' ended roughly halfway through the Hasbro's ''Thrilling 30'' assortment, and subsequent ''Generations'' molds were released in Japan under a new banner, ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Transformers Legends]]''. The "Combiner Wars" toys were released under the [[Transformers Unite Warriors|''Unite Warriors'']] toy line, which featured five-packs of the ''Combiner Wars'' combiner teams. Sling, Wildrider, and Groove (redecos of Hasbro's Quickslinger and Brake-Neck and an original mold, respectively) are included instead of Alpha Bravo, Offroad, and Rook. The deco on ''Unite Warriors'' toys focuses primarily on [[show-accuracy|accuracy to the ''Generaton 1'' cartoon]] compared to Hasbro's more G1 toy-accurate approach. Also, post-Skrapnel Legends Class figures including all ''Combiner Wars'' ones were redecoed, retooled to have a circular sticker indent, and drafted into the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Adventure Series|''Adventure Series'']] toy line.

==Notes==
[[File:TF2010 deluxe SpecialOpsJazz.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85||[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|I don't belong here,]] bitches!]]
* During 2010, clicking "War for Cybertron Toys" on Hasbro's ''War For Cybertron'' web page actually brought up the whole ''Generations'' toy line. Looking for ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' toys? Here you go.
* Since the toys released during the first phase of the ''Generations'' toy line were all Deluxe-sized, the difficulty level bar on the front side of the packaging (which indicates how hard it is to convert a toy from mode to mode) denoted each individual toy's challenge level (Cybertronian Bumblebee, for example, is a Level 4, while Thrust is a Level 2).
* The plastic-coated wire twist-ties, which were normally used to secure a toy in its packaging in past toylines, have been replaced with rattan tie-downs. The paper-based tie-downs are also used in the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] toy line and subsequent toy lines moving forward.
* The 2010 ''Transformers'' toy line, particularly the ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[subline imprint]], contains several toys with a design aesthetic similar to the Generations line. This led to confusion when fan expectations were contradicted by official Hasbro announcements. Subsequently, Hasbro released [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Generations|Wheeljack]], a [[retool]] of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Tracks (G1)|Turbo Tracks]], and [[Junkyard (G1)#Generations|Junkheap]], a retool of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Wreck-Gar (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Wreck-Gar]], under the ''Generations'' banner, later followed by ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''-inspired redecos of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Special Ops Jazz]] released as part of the "Ultimate Gift Set" and the Asian market/[[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive [[Wheelie (G1)#Generations|Wheelie]] redeco/retool of Special Ops Jazz, all of them also in ''Generations'' packaging, thus further strengthening the ties between the two lines.
[[File:CW HufferBlackjack.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
* Most of the 2010–2011 ''Generations'' toys (along with several from the 2010 ''Transformers'' toy line) were released by [[TakaraTomy]] in their ''[[Transformers United]]'' toyline. The toys representing [[character]]s who appeared in the video game ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' (which is part of the [[Aligned continuity family]]) were released as their [[Generation 1 continuity family]] counterparts in Japan. The waves from 2012 and onward were released under the ''Generations'' banner in Japan as well.
* As the toy list in the article above shows, the 2012-onwards figures were numbered in sequence for each [[size class]] assortment separately. However, the [[Combaticon (WFC)|Combaticon]] and [[Wrecker]] combiner teams were also ''additionally'' numbered as members of their respective teams, and the sequences for those two separate sets of numbers are completely inconsistent with each other: For the Combaticons, team members 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 correspond with Deluxe Class Series 1 figures #004, #008, #006, #005 and #007, respectively; and for the Wreckers, team members 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 correspond with Deluxe Class Series 1 figures #014, #016, #018, #017 and #015, respectively. The only consistent system is that each sculpt is given the same number as a team member between both sets.
*In a frankly inexplicable turn of events, the existence of Huffer and the name of Blackjack in the ''Combiner Wars'' toyline were first revealed by a [[stock photography|stock photo]] of Menasor released during [[San Diego Comic-Con]] [[2014]]. What appeared to be a plain white background was, with color correction, revealed as a {{w|Mac OS}} screenshot displaying filenames for those two characters. Blackjack could easily be identified as the unnamed black-and-purple car revealed at SDCC, whilst Huffer's toy was later announced at [[New York Comic Con]].
*The limb robots substituted out of ''Combiner Wars'' Superion, Menasor and Defensor, namely [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]], [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] and [[Groove (G1)|Groove]], also happen to be the same members whose ''[[Kre-O]]'' incarnations were sold separately from their teams. Coincidence? Probably.
*The Wave 2 of Combiner Wars it's currently unreleased in European Market. However, Legends Blackjack was listed in TRU Spain website<ref>[http://www.toysrus.es/product/index.jsp?productId=46913021&prodFindSrc=search TRU Spain listing for Legends Blackjack]</ref> Because, you know, 'Spain is different'

Transformers: Generations (toyline)

Blitzjoans: /* Notes */

{{disambig3|Generations}}
[[File:TF-Generations-logo.jpg|550x250px|center]]
[[File:Generations 2015 Toyline logo.png|thumb|upright=0.8|Insignia-like logo used on packaging for late 2014-onward Generations toys, in combination with the [[:File:Transformers 2014 logo.png|new generic ''Transformers'' logo]].]]
'''''Transformers: Generations''''' is a line of figures launched in 2010. Like the earlier 2006 ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' and 2008 [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'']] lines, along with much of the 2010 [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'']] line, it aims to recreate older ''Transformers'' characters as new toys and celebrate the history of the brand. The line lapsed after the end of 2011, but was relaunched in mid-2012 and has run continuously ever since.

The ''Generations'' line can be divided into three "eras", each of which saw a new logo, new packaging designs, and new product assortment numbers.

==Original line (2010–2011)==
{{anchor|2010-11}}
The initial ''Generations'' line featured only [[Size class|Deluxe Class]] toys, and included both characters from the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' video game, and “modernised G1” figures in the spirit of the previous ''Classics'' and ''Universe'' toylines. In a first for the franchise, the [[Drift (G1)|Drift]] toy and its [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] [[retool]] were based directly on designs created by [[Guido Guidi]] for [[IDW Generation 1 continuity|IDW's Generation 1 comic universe]]. The earlier waves of figures sported advertising for [[Hub Network|The Hub]] or ''War for Cybertron''.

===Asian market exclusives ("GDO")===
[[File:GenerationsAsianDeluxes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Asian market exclusive packaging for Cliffjumper, Springer, Swerve and Wheelie (top) and North American market ToysЯUs exclusive packaging (bottom).]]
In mid-2012, Hasbro's Asian division released a variety of [[redeco]]s and [[retool]]s in their markets such as China, Singapore and the Philippines. This lineup, which featured the same general packaging design as the 2010–2011 figures, introduced the first non-Deluxe toys in the line (as ''Generations'' had been limited to the Deluxe price point up to that point). Western online retailers referred to these figures under the mysterious term "GDO" (which was later revealed to be an abbreviation for "Global Development Organization"<ref name="gdo">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/637547-i-found-out-what-gdo-means.html TFW2005 thread] containing an answer by Hasbro's customer service regarding the meaning of the term "GDO".</ref>).

Hasbro's United States and Canadian divisions later decided to release all these figures in North America as well, as a ''massive'' batch of [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] exclusives for the 2012 holiday shopping season. Strangely, while the Asian market versions were released in standard English-only packaging, the versions available in the United States and Canada came in [[multilingual packaging|bilingual]] English/Chinese packaging. Also, the Deluxes came packaged in their [[alternate mode]]s, whereas the Asian versions were packaged in [[robot mode]].

After a six-month hiatus, the ''Generations'' line was relaunched mid-2012, starting out the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' toyline with eight Deluxe Class figures. The line continued into 2013, with Legends and Voyager Classes being introduced too. Unlike the previous [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], now absorbed into ''[[Cyberverse]]'' under the name 'Legion Class', these new products consisted of two-packs of [[data disc]] [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]] figures designed to interact with the Voyager Class [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] mold.

{{anchor|Thrilling 30}}
[[File:Thrilling30.png|upright=1.4|center]]{{-}}
In mid-2013, ''Generations'' was rebranded to become part of Hasbro's ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' anniversary campaign, which saw the line return to the ''Classics''/''Universe''-style updates of older characters. This refresh was notable for introducing close ties with [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''Transformers'' material – many toys were based on designs from comics, and every Deluxe figure was packaged with a comic issue. The format of Legends Class was also changed, now including a vaguely ''Cyberverse'' Commander-sized figure with a smaller, triple-changing partner. ''Thrilling 30'' saw two new size classes introduced to the line – 2013 featured the huge Titan Class [[Metroplex (G1)#Generations|Metroplex]] figure, whilst 2014 debuted Leader Class with [[Jetfire (G1)#Generations|Jetfire]].

For 2013, toys featured packaging art by [[Clayton Crain]] and the Deluxe pack-in comics were ''[[The Transformers: Spotlight|Spotlight]]'' issues. Continuing into 2014, the included issues tied into the "[[Dark Cybertron (IDW)|Dark Cybertron]]" story and [[Phil Jimenez]], who helped plan and draw that event, took over package art duties.

==''Combiner Wars'' (2015–)==
{{anchor|Combiner Wars}}
[[File:Combiner Wars logo.png|600px|center]]{{-}}
For 2015, the line was given another [[subline imprint]] titled ''Combiner Wars'', which saw Deluxe, Voyager and some Legends figures able to form [[combiner]] robots. The format for Legends Class was changed once again, dropping the small partner figures of the ''Thrilling 30'' line.

The packaging of IDW comic books with US Deluxes continued, whilst Legends, Voyagers and non-US Deluxes gained collector cards featuring art from the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game. However, due to production schedule problems,<ref>[http://bwtf.com/events/toyfair2015/interview-part1 Interview with Jerry Jivoin at BWTF.com]</ref> Deluxe wave 1's initial US release featured the collector cards. Along with the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' line, ''Combiner Wars'' also heralded the return of [[multilingual packaging]] to the United States market, now in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. The sole exception to this was the Deluxe figures packaged with comic books, which retained monolingual packaging.

==="GDO" Cyber Series figures===
Three years after a large batch of redecos and retools had been created for Hasbro's Asian markets (with North American Toys"R"Us branches later picking them up as exclusives), Hasbro's Global Development Organization ("GDO") division was given a budget to design entirely new toys. Taking a cue from the [[tail-ender|tail-end]] ''[[Beast Hunters]]'' Deluxe and Voyager Class figures (with the Deluxes having ended up being available only in international markets such as Asia and Europe not by design but by circumstance), most of these figures were based on smaller figures from the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Transformers: Prime]]'' ''[[Cyberverse]]'' Legion Class, ''Generations'' Thrilling 30 Legends Class and [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'']] Legion Class ranges, with the designs upsized to roughly Deluxe or Voyager size, keeping the engineering mostly unchanged. These figures were not only released in Hasbro's Asian markets this time, but also in Latin American markets.

{{main|Transformers: Platinum Edition#Generations}}

==Japan==
[[TakaraTomy]] initially had ''[[Transformers United]]'' as their counterpart to the first phase of the ''Generations'' line. In 2012, with the revival of the Hasbro ''Generations'' line, TakaraTomy decided to use the same name for their successor to the ''United'' toyline. Similarly to ''United'', many of the figures have been given "premium" paint jobs, being coated in shiny paint and featuring numerous additional paint details. Japanese ''Generations'' ended roughly halfway through the Hasbro's ''Thrilling 30'' assortment, and subsequent ''Generations'' molds were released in Japan under a new banner, ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Transformers Legends]]''. The "Combiner Wars" toys were released under the [[Transformers Unite Warriors|''Unite Warriors'']] toy line, which featured five-packs of the ''Combiner Wars'' combiner teams. Sling, Wildrider, and Groove (redecos of Hasbro's Quickslinger and Brake-Neck and an original mold, respectively) are included instead of Alpha Bravo, Offroad, and Rook. The deco on ''Unite Warriors'' toys focuses primarily on [[show-accuracy|accuracy to the ''Generaton 1'' cartoon]] compared to Hasbro's more G1 toy-accurate approach. Also, post-Skrapnel Legends Class figures including all ''Combiner Wars'' ones were redecoed, retooled to have a circular sticker indent, and drafted into the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Adventure Series|''Adventure Series'']] toy line.

==Notes==
[[File:TF2010 deluxe SpecialOpsJazz.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85||[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|I don't belong here,]] bitches!]]
* During 2010, clicking "War for Cybertron Toys" on Hasbro's ''War For Cybertron'' web page actually brought up the whole ''Generations'' toy line. Looking for ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' toys? Here you go.
* Since the toys released during the first phase of the ''Generations'' toy line were all Deluxe-sized, the difficulty level bar on the front side of the packaging (which indicates how hard it is to convert a toy from mode to mode) denoted each individual toy's challenge level (Cybertronian Bumblebee, for example, is a Level 4, while Thrust is a Level 2).
* The plastic-coated wire twist-ties, which were normally used to secure a toy in its packaging in past toylines, have been replaced with rattan tie-downs. The paper-based tie-downs are also used in the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] toy line and subsequent toy lines moving forward.
* The 2010 ''Transformers'' toy line, particularly the ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[subline imprint]], contains several toys with a design aesthetic similar to the Generations line. This led to confusion when fan expectations were contradicted by official Hasbro announcements. Subsequently, Hasbro released [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Generations|Wheeljack]], a [[retool]] of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Tracks (G1)|Turbo Tracks]], and [[Junkyard (G1)#Generations|Junkheap]], a retool of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Wreck-Gar (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Wreck-Gar]], under the ''Generations'' banner, later followed by ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''-inspired redecos of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Special Ops Jazz]] released as part of the "Ultimate Gift Set" and the Asian market/[[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive [[Wheelie (G1)#Generations|Wheelie]] redeco/retool of Special Ops Jazz, all of them also in ''Generations'' packaging, thus further strengthening the ties between the two lines.
[[File:CW HufferBlackjack.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
* Most of the 2010–2011 ''Generations'' toys (along with several from the 2010 ''Transformers'' toy line) were released by [[TakaraTomy]] in their ''[[Transformers United]]'' toyline. The toys representing [[character]]s who appeared in the video game ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' (which is part of the [[Aligned continuity family]]) were released as their [[Generation 1 continuity family]] counterparts in Japan. The waves from 2012 and onward were released under the ''Generations'' banner in Japan as well.
* As the toy list in the article above shows, the 2012-onwards figures were numbered in sequence for each [[size class]] assortment separately. However, the [[Combaticon (WFC)|Combaticon]] and [[Wrecker]] combiner teams were also ''additionally'' numbered as members of their respective teams, and the sequences for those two separate sets of numbers are completely inconsistent with each other: For the Combaticons, team members 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 correspond with Deluxe Class Series 1 figures #004, #008, #006, #005 and #007, respectively; and for the Wreckers, team members 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 correspond with Deluxe Class Series 1 figures #014, #016, #018, #017 and #015, respectively. The only consistent system is that each sculpt is given the same number as a team member between both sets.
*In a frankly inexplicable turn of events, the existence of Huffer and the name of Blackjack in the ''Combiner Wars'' toyline were first revealed by a [[stock photography|stock photo]] of Menasor released during [[San Diego Comic-Con]] [[2014]]. What appeared to be a plain white background was, with color correction, revealed as a {{w|Mac OS}} screenshot displaying filenames for those two characters. Blackjack could easily be identified as the unnamed black-and-purple car revealed at SDCC, whilst Huffer's toy was later announced at [[New York Comic Con]].
*The limb robots substituted out of ''Combiner Wars'' Superion, Menasor and Defensor, namely [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]], [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] and [[Groove (G1)|Groove]], also happen to be the same members whose ''[[Kre-O]]'' incarnations were sold separately from their teams. Coincidence? Probably.
*The Wave 2 of Combiner Wars it's currently unreleased in European Market. However, Legends Blackjack was listed in TRU Spain and Portugal website<ref>[http://www.toysrus.es/product/index.jsp?productId=46913021&prodFindSrc=search TRU Spain listing for Legends Blackjack]</ref> Because, you know, 'Spain is different'

Transformers: Generations (toyline)

Blitzjoans: /* Notes */

{{disambig3|Generations}}
[[File:TF-Generations-logo.jpg|550x250px|center]]
[[File:Generations 2015 Toyline logo.png|thumb|upright=0.8|Insignia-like logo used on packaging for late 2014-onward Generations toys, in combination with the [[:File:Transformers 2014 logo.png|new generic ''Transformers'' logo]].]]
'''''Transformers: Generations''''' is a line of figures launched in 2010. Like the earlier 2006 ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' and 2008 [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'']] lines, along with much of the 2010 [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'']] line, it aims to recreate older ''Transformers'' characters as new toys and celebrate the history of the brand. The line lapsed after the end of 2011, but was relaunched in mid-2012 and has run continuously ever since.

The ''Generations'' line can be divided into three "eras", each of which saw a new logo, new packaging designs, and new product assortment numbers.

==Original line (2010–2011)==
{{anchor|2010-11}}
The initial ''Generations'' line featured only [[Size class|Deluxe Class]] toys, and included both characters from the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' video game, and “modernised G1” figures in the spirit of the previous ''Classics'' and ''Universe'' toylines. In a first for the franchise, the [[Drift (G1)|Drift]] toy and its [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] [[retool]] were based directly on designs created by [[Guido Guidi]] for [[IDW Generation 1 continuity|IDW's Generation 1 comic universe]]. The earlier waves of figures sported advertising for [[Hub Network|The Hub]] or ''War for Cybertron''.

===Asian market exclusives ("GDO")===
[[File:GenerationsAsianDeluxes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Asian market exclusive packaging for Cliffjumper, Springer, Swerve and Wheelie (top) and North American market ToysЯUs exclusive packaging (bottom).]]
In mid-2012, Hasbro's Asian division released a variety of [[redeco]]s and [[retool]]s in their markets such as China, Singapore and the Philippines. This lineup, which featured the same general packaging design as the 2010–2011 figures, introduced the first non-Deluxe toys in the line (as ''Generations'' had been limited to the Deluxe price point up to that point). Western online retailers referred to these figures under the mysterious term "GDO" (which was later revealed to be an abbreviation for "Global Development Organization"<ref name="gdo">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/637547-i-found-out-what-gdo-means.html TFW2005 thread] containing an answer by Hasbro's customer service regarding the meaning of the term "GDO".</ref>).

Hasbro's United States and Canadian divisions later decided to release all these figures in North America as well, as a ''massive'' batch of [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] exclusives for the 2012 holiday shopping season. Strangely, while the Asian market versions were released in standard English-only packaging, the versions available in the United States and Canada came in [[multilingual packaging|bilingual]] English/Chinese packaging. Also, the Deluxes came packaged in their [[alternate mode]]s, whereas the Asian versions were packaged in [[robot mode]].

[[File:Generations Fall of Cybertron logo.png|600px|center]]{{-}}
After a six-month hiatus, the ''Generations'' line was relaunched mid-2012, starting out the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' toyline with eight Deluxe Class figures. The line continued into 2013, with Legends and Voyager Classes being introduced too. Unlike the previous [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], now absorbed into ''[[Cyberverse]]'' under the name 'Legion Class', these new products consisted of two-packs of [[data disc]] [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]] figures designed to interact with the Voyager Class [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] mold.

===''Thrilling 30'' (2013-2014)===
{{anchor|Thrilling 30}}
[[File:Thrilling30.png|upright=1.4|center]]{{-}}
In mid-2013, ''Generations'' was rebranded to become part of Hasbro's ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' anniversary campaign, which saw the line return to the ''Classics''/''Universe''-style updates of older characters. This refresh was notable for introducing close ties with [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''Transformers'' material – many toys were based on designs from comics, and every Deluxe figure was packaged with a comic issue. The format of Legends Class was also changed, now including a vaguely ''Cyberverse'' Commander-sized figure with a smaller, triple-changing partner. ''Thrilling 30'' saw two new size classes introduced to the line – 2013 featured the huge Titan Class [[Metroplex (G1)#Generations|Metroplex]] figure, whilst 2014 debuted Leader Class with [[Jetfire (G1)#Generations|Jetfire]].

For 2013, toys featured packaging art by [[Clayton Crain]] and the Deluxe pack-in comics were ''[[The Transformers: Spotlight|Spotlight]]'' issues.

==''Combiner Wars'' (2015–)==
{{anchor|Combiner Wars}}
[[File:Combiner Wars logo.png|600px|center]]{{-}}
For 2015, the line was given another [[subline imprint]] titled ''Combiner Wars'', which saw Deluxe, Voyager and some Legends figures able to form [[combiner]] robots. The format for Legends Class was changed once again, dropping the small partner figures of the ''Thrilling 30'' line.

The packaging of IDW comic books with US Deluxes continued, whilst Legends, Voyagers and non-US Deluxes gained collector cards featuring art from the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game. However, due to production schedule problems,<ref>[http://bwtf.com/events/toyfair2015/interview-part1 Interview with Jerry Jivoin at BWTF.com]</ref> Deluxe wave 1's initial US release featured the collector cards. Along with the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' line, ''Combiner Wars'' also heralded the return of [[multilingual packaging]] to the United States market, now in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. The sole exception to this was the Deluxe figures packaged with comic books, which retained monolingual packaging.

==="GDO" Cyber Series figures===
Three years after a large batch of redecos and retools had been created for Hasbro's Asian markets (with North American Toys"R"Us branches later picking them up as exclusives), Hasbro's Global Development Organization ("GDO") division was given a budget to design entirely new toys. Taking a cue from the [[tail-ender|tail-end]] ''[[Beast Hunters]]'' Deluxe and Voyager Class figures (with the Deluxes having ended up being available only in international markets such as Asia and Europe not by design but by circumstance), most of these figures were based on smaller figures from the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Transformers: Prime]]'' ''[[Cyberverse]]'' Legion Class, ''Generations'' Thrilling 30 Legends Class and [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'']] Legion Class ranges, with the designs upsized to roughly Deluxe or Voyager size, keeping the engineering mostly unchanged. These figures were not only released in Hasbro's Asian markets this time, but also in Latin American markets.

===Platinum Edition===
{{main|Transformers: Platinum Edition#Generations}}

==Japan==
[[TakaraTomy]] initially had ''[[Transformers United]]'' as their counterpart to the first phase of the ''Generations'' line. In 2012, with the revival of the Hasbro ''Generations'' line, TakaraTomy decided to use the same name for their successor to the ''United'' toyline. Similarly to ''United'', many of the figures have been given "premium" paint jobs, being coated in shiny paint and featuring numerous additional paint details. Japanese ''Generations'' ended roughly halfway through the Hasbro's ''Thrilling 30'' assortment, and subsequent ''Generations'' molds were released in Japan under a new banner, ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Transformers Legends]]''. The "Combiner Wars" toys were released under the [[Transformers Unite Warriors|''Unite Warriors'']] toy line, which featured five-packs of the ''Combiner Wars'' combiner teams. Sling, Wildrider, and Groove (redecos of Hasbro's Quickslinger and Brake-Neck and an original mold, respectively) are included instead of Alpha Bravo, Offroad, and Rook. The deco on ''Unite Warriors'' toys focuses primarily on [[show-accuracy|accuracy to the ''Generaton 1'' cartoon]] compared to Hasbro's more G1 toy-accurate approach. Also, post-Skrapnel Legends Class figures including all ''Combiner Wars'' ones were redecoed, retooled to have a circular sticker indent, and drafted into the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Adventure Series|''Adventure Series'']] toy line.

==Notes==
[[File:TF2010 deluxe SpecialOpsJazz.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85||[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|I don't belong here,]] bitches!]]
* During 2010, clicking "War for Cybertron Toys" on Hasbro's ''War For Cybertron'' web page actually brought up the whole ''Generations'' toy line. Looking for ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' toys? Here you go.
* Since the toys released during the first phase of the ''Generations'' toy line were all Deluxe-sized, the difficulty level bar on the front side of the packaging (which indicates how hard it is to convert a toy from mode to mode) denoted each individual toy's challenge level (Cybertronian Bumblebee, for example, is a Level 4, while Thrust is a Level 2).
* The plastic-coated wire twist-ties, which were normally used to secure a toy in its packaging in past toylines, have been replaced with rattan tie-downs. The paper-based tie-downs are also used in the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] toy line and subsequent toy lines moving forward.
* The 2010 ''Transformers'' toy line, particularly the ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[subline imprint]], contains several toys with a design aesthetic similar to the Generations line. This led to confusion when fan expectations were contradicted by official Hasbro announcements. Subsequently, Hasbro released [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Generations|Wheeljack]], a [[retool]] of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Tracks (G1)|Turbo Tracks]], and [[Junkyard (G1)#Generations|Junkheap]], a retool of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Wreck-Gar (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Wreck-Gar]], under the ''Generations'' banner, later followed by ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''-inspired redecos of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Special Ops Jazz]] released as part of the "Ultimate Gift Set" and the Asian market/[[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive [[Wheelie (G1)#Generations|Wheelie]] redeco/retool of Special Ops Jazz, all of them also in ''Generations'' packaging, thus further strengthening the ties between the two lines.
[[File:CW HufferBlackjack.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
* Most of the 2010–2011 ''Generations'' toys (along with several from the 2010 ''Transformers'' toy line) were released by [[TakaraTomy]] in their ''[[Transformers United]]'' toyline. The toys representing [[character]]s who appeared in the video game ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' (which is part of the [[Aligned continuity family]]) were released as their [[Generation 1 continuity family]] counterparts in Japan. The waves from 2012 and onward were released under the ''Generations'' banner in Japan as well.
* As the toy list in the article above shows, the 2012-onwards figures were numbered in sequence for each [[size class]] assortment separately. However, the [[Combaticon (WFC)|Combaticon]] and [[Wrecker]] combiner teams were also ''additionally'' numbered as members of their respective teams, and the sequences for those two separate sets of numbers are completely inconsistent with each other: For the Combaticons, team members 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 correspond with Deluxe Class Series 1 figures #004, #008, #006, #005 and #007, respectively; and for the Wreckers, team members 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 correspond with Deluxe Class Series 1 figures #014, #016, #018, #017 and #015, respectively. The only consistent system is that each sculpt is given the same number as a team member between both sets.
*In a frankly inexplicable turn of events, the existence of Huffer and the name of Blackjack in the ''Combiner Wars'' toyline were first revealed by a [[stock photography|stock photo]] of Menasor released during [[San Diego Comic-Con]] [[2014]]. What appeared to be a plain white background was, with color correction, revealed as a {{w|Mac OS}} screenshot displaying filenames for those two characters. Blackjack could easily be identified as the unnamed black-and-purple car revealed at SDCC, whilst Huffer's toy was later announced at [[New York Comic Con]].
*The limb robots substituted out of ''Combiner Wars'' Superion, Menasor and Defensor, namely [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]], [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] and [[Groove (G1)|Groove]], also happen to be the same members whose ''[[Kre-O]]'' incarnations were sold separately from their teams. Coincidence? Probably.
*The Wave 2 of Combiner Wars it's currently unreleased in European Market. However, Legends Blackjack was listed in TRU Spain and Portugal website<ref>[http://www.toysrus.es/product/index.jsp?productId=46913021&prodFindSrc=search] TRU Spain listing for Legends Blackjack </ref>
Because, you know, 'Spain is different'

Transformers: Generations (toyline)

2015-08-14T19:23:31Z

Blitzjoans: /* Notes */

{{disambig3|Generations}}
[[File:TF-Generations-logo.jpg|550x250px|center]]
[[File:Generations 2015 Toyline logo.png|thumb|upright=0.8|Insignia-like logo used on packaging for late 2014-onward Generations toys, in combination with the [[:File:Transformers 2014 logo.png|new generic ''Transformers'' logo]].]]
'''''Transformers: Generations''''' is a line of figures launched in 2010. Like the earlier 2006 ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' and 2008 [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'']] lines, along with much of the 2010 [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'']] line, it aims to recreate older ''Transformers'' characters as new toys and celebrate the history of the brand. The line lapsed after the end of 2011, but was relaunched in mid-2012 and has run continuously ever since.

The ''Generations'' line can be divided into three "eras", each of which saw a new logo, new packaging designs, and new product assortment numbers.

==Original line (2010–2011)==
{{anchor|2010-11}}
The initial ''Generations'' line featured only [[Size class|Deluxe Class]] toys, and included both characters from the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' video game, and “modernised G1” figures in the spirit of the previous ''Classics'' and ''Universe'' toylines. In a first for the franchise, the [[Drift (G1)|Drift]] toy and its [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] [[retool]] were based directly on designs created by [[Guido Guidi]] for [[IDW Generation 1 continuity|IDW's Generation 1 comic universe]]. The earlier waves of figures sported advertising for [[Hub Network|The Hub]] or ''War for Cybertron''.

===Asian market exclusives ("GDO")===
[[File:GenerationsAsianDeluxes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Asian market exclusive packaging for Cliffjumper, Springer, Swerve and Wheelie (top) and North American market ToysЯUs exclusive packaging (bottom).]]
In mid-2012, Hasbro's Asian division released a variety of [[redeco]]s and [[retool]]s in their markets such as China, Singapore and the Philippines. This lineup, which featured the same general packaging design as the 2010–2011 figures, introduced the first non-Deluxe toys in the line (as ''Generations'' had been limited to the Deluxe price point up to that point). Western online retailers referred to these figures under the mysterious term "GDO" (which was later revealed to be an abbreviation for "Global Development Organization"<ref name="gdo">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/637547-i-found-out-what-gdo-means.html TFW2005 thread] containing an answer by Hasbro's customer service regarding the meaning of the term "GDO".</ref>).

Hasbro's United States and Canadian divisions later decided to release all these figures in North America as well, as a ''massive'' batch of [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] exclusives for the 2012 holiday shopping season. Strangely, while the Asian market versions were released in standard English-only packaging, the versions available in the United States and Canada came in [[multilingual packaging|bilingual]] English/Chinese packaging. Also, the Deluxes came packaged in their [[alternate mode]]s, whereas the Asian versions were packaged in [[robot mode]].

{{anchor|Fall of Cybertron}}
[[File:Generations Fall of Cybertron logo.png|600px|center]]{{-}}
After a six-month hiatus, the ''Generations'' line was relaunched mid-2012, starting out the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' toyline with eight Deluxe Class figures. The line continued into 2013, with Legends and Voyager Classes being introduced too. Unlike the previous [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], now absorbed into ''[[Cyberverse]]'' under the name 'Legion Class', these new products consisted of two-packs of [[data disc]] [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]] figures designed to interact with the Voyager Class [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] mold.

===''Thrilling 30'' (2013-2014)===
{{anchor|Thrilling 30}}
[[File:Thrilling30.png|upright=1.4|center]]{{-}}
In mid-2013, ''Generations'' was rebranded to become part of Hasbro's ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' anniversary campaign, which saw the line return to the ''Classics''/''Universe''-style updates of older characters. This refresh was notable for introducing close ties with [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''Transformers'' material – many toys were based on designs from comics, and every Deluxe figure was packaged with a comic issue. The format of Legends Class was also changed, now including a vaguely ''Cyberverse'' Commander-sized figure with a smaller, triple-changing partner. ''Thrilling 30'' saw two new size classes introduced to the line – 2013 featured the huge Titan Class [[Metroplex (G1)#Generations|Metroplex]] figure, whilst 2014 debuted Leader Class with [[Jetfire (G1)#Generations|Jetfire]].

For 2013, toys featured packaging art by [[Clayton Crain]] and the Deluxe pack-in comics were ''[[The Transformers: Spotlight|Spotlight]]'' issues. Continuing into 2014, the included issues tied into the "[[Dark Cybertron (IDW)|Dark Cybertron]]" story and [[Phil Jimenez]], who helped plan and draw that event, took over package art duties.

==''Combiner Wars'' (2015–)==
{{anchor|Combiner Wars}}
[[File:Combiner Wars logo.png|600px|center]]{{-}}
For 2015, the line was given another [[subline imprint]] titled ''Combiner Wars'', which saw Deluxe, Voyager and some Legends figures able to form [[combiner]] robots. The format for Legends Class was changed once again, dropping the small partner figures of the ''Thrilling 30'' line.

The packaging of IDW comic books with US Deluxes continued, whilst Legends, Voyagers and non-US Deluxes gained collector cards featuring art from the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game. However, due to production schedule problems,<ref>[http://bwtf.com/events/toyfair2015/interview-part1 Interview with Jerry Jivoin at BWTF.com]</ref> Deluxe wave 1's initial US release featured the collector cards. Along with the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' line, ''Combiner Wars'' also heralded the return of [[multilingual packaging]] to the United States market, now in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. The sole exception to this was the Deluxe figures packaged with comic books, which retained monolingual packaging.

==="GDO" Cyber Series figures===
Three years after a large batch of redecos and retools had been created for Hasbro's Asian markets (with North American Toys"R"Us branches later picking them up as exclusives), Hasbro's Global Development Organization ("GDO") division was given a budget to design entirely new toys. Taking a cue from the [[tail-ender|tail-end]] ''[[Beast Hunters]]'' Deluxe and Voyager Class figures (with the Deluxes having ended up being available only in international markets such as Asia and Europe not by design but by circumstance), most of these figures were based on smaller figures from the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Transformers: Prime]]'' ''[[Cyberverse]]'' Legion Class, ''Generations'' Thrilling 30 Legends Class and [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'']] Legion Class ranges, with the designs upsized to roughly Deluxe or Voyager size, keeping the engineering mostly unchanged. These figures were not only released in Hasbro's Asian markets this time, but also in Latin American markets.

===Platinum Edition===
{{main|Transformers: Platinum Edition#Generations}}

==Japan==
[[TakaraTomy]] initially had ''[[Transformers United]]'' as their counterpart to the first phase of the ''Generations'' line. In 2012, with the revival of the Hasbro ''Generations'' line, TakaraTomy decided to use the same name for their successor to the ''United'' toyline. Similarly to ''United'', many of the figures have been given "premium" paint jobs, being coated in shiny paint and featuring numerous additional paint details. Japanese ''Generations'' ended roughly halfway through the Hasbro's ''Thrilling 30'' assortment, and subsequent ''Generations'' molds were released in Japan under a new banner, ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Transformers Legends]]''. The "Combiner Wars" toys were released under the [[Transformers Unite Warriors|''Unite Warriors'']] toy line, which featured five-packs of the ''Combiner Wars'' combiner teams. Sling, Wildrider, and Groove (redecos of Hasbro's Quickslinger and Brake-Neck and an original mold, respectively) are included instead of Alpha Bravo, Offroad, and Rook. The deco on ''Unite Warriors'' toys focuses primarily on [[show-accuracy|accuracy to the ''Generaton 1'' cartoon]] compared to Hasbro's more G1 toy-accurate approach. Also, post-Skrapnel Legends Class figures including all ''Combiner Wars'' ones were redecoed, retooled to have a circular sticker indent, and drafted into the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Adventure Series|''Adventure Series'']] toy line.

==Notes==
[[File:TF2010 deluxe SpecialOpsJazz.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85||[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|I don't belong here,]] bitches!]]
* During 2010, clicking "War for Cybertron Toys" on Hasbro's ''War For Cybertron'' web page actually brought up the whole ''Generations'' toy line. Looking for ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' toys? Here you go.
* Since the toys released during the first phase of the ''Generations'' toy line were all Deluxe-sized, the difficulty level bar on the front side of the packaging (which indicates how hard it is to convert a toy from mode to mode) denoted each individual toy's challenge level (Cybertronian Bumblebee, for example, is a Level 4, while Thrust is a Level 2).
* The plastic-coated wire twist-ties, which were normally used to secure a toy in its packaging in past toylines, have been replaced with rattan tie-downs. The paper-based tie-downs are also used in the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] toy line and subsequent toy lines moving forward.
* The 2010 ''Transformers'' toy line, particularly the ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[subline imprint]], contains several toys with a design aesthetic similar to the Generations line. This led to confusion when fan expectations were contradicted by official Hasbro announcements. Subsequently, Hasbro released [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Generations|Wheeljack]], a [[retool]] of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Tracks (G1)|Turbo Tracks]], and [[Junkyard (G1)#Generations|Junkheap]], a retool of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Wreck-Gar (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Wreck-Gar]], under the ''Generations'' banner, later followed by ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''-inspired redecos of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Special Ops Jazz]] released as part of the "Ultimate Gift Set" and the Asian market/[[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive [[Wheelie (G1)#Generations|Wheelie]] redeco/retool of Special Ops Jazz, all of them also in ''Generations'' packaging, thus further strengthening the ties between the two lines.
[[File:CW HufferBlackjack.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
* Most of the 2010–2011 ''Generations'' toys (along with several from the 2010 ''Transformers'' toy line) were released by [[TakaraTomy]] in their ''[[Transformers United]]'' toyline. The toys representing [[character]]s who appeared in the video game ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' (which is part of the [[Aligned continuity family]]) were released as their [[Generation 1 continuity family]] counterparts in Japan. The waves from 2012 and onward were released under the ''Generations'' banner in Japan as well.
* As the toy list in the article above shows, the 2012-onwards figures were numbered in sequence for each [[size class]] assortment separately. However, the [[Combaticon (WFC)|Combaticon]] and [[Wrecker]] combiner teams were also ''additionally'' numbered as members of their respective teams, and the sequences for those two separate sets of numbers are completely inconsistent with each other: For the Combaticons, team members 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 correspond with Deluxe Class Series 1 figures #004, #008, #006, #005 and #007, respectively; and for the Wreckers, team members 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 correspond with Deluxe Class Series 1 figures #014, #016, #018, #017 and #015, respectively. The only consistent system is that each sculpt is given the same number as a team member between both sets.
*In a frankly inexplicable turn of events, the existence of Huffer and the name of Blackjack in the ''Combiner Wars'' toyline were first revealed by a [[stock photography|stock photo]] of Menasor released during [[San Diego Comic-Con]] [[2014]]. What appeared to be a plain white background was, with color correction, revealed as a {{w|Mac OS}} screenshot displaying filenames for those two characters. Blackjack could easily be identified as the unnamed black-and-purple car revealed at SDCC, whilst Huffer's toy was later announced at [[New York Comic Con]].
*The limb robots substituted out of ''Combiner Wars'' Superion, Menasor and Defensor, namely [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]], [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] and [[Groove (G1)|Groove]], also happen to be the same members whose ''[[Kre-O]]'' incarnations were sold separately from their teams. Coincidence? Probably.
*The Wave 2 of Combiner Wars it's currently unreleased in European Market. However, Legends Blackjack was listed in TRU Spain and Portugal website<ref>[http://www.toysrus.es/product/index.jsp?productId=46913021&prodFindSrc=search]</ref>
Because, you know, 'Spain is different'

Transformers: Generations (toyline)

Blitzjoans: /* Notes */

{{disambig3|Generations}}
[[File:TF-Generations-logo.jpg|550x250px|center]]
[[File:Generations 2015 Toyline logo.png|thumb|upright=0.8|Insignia-like logo used on packaging for late 2014-onward Generations toys, in combination with the [[:File:Transformers 2014 logo.png|new generic ''Transformers'' logo]].]]
'''''Transformers: Generations''''' is a line of figures launched in 2010. Like the earlier 2006 ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' and 2008 [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'']] lines, along with much of the 2010 [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'']] line, it aims to recreate older ''Transformers'' characters as new toys and celebrate the history of the brand. The line lapsed after the end of 2011, but was relaunched in mid-2012 and has run continuously ever since.

The ''Generations'' line can be divided into three "eras", each of which saw a new logo, new packaging designs, and new product assortment numbers.

==Original line (2010–2011)==
{{anchor|2010-11}}
The initial ''Generations'' line featured only [[Size class|Deluxe Class]] toys, and included both characters from the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' video game, and “modernised G1” figures in the spirit of the previous ''Classics'' and ''Universe'' toylines. In a first for the franchise, the [[Drift (G1)|Drift]] toy and its [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] [[retool]] were based directly on designs created by [[Guido Guidi]] for [[IDW Generation 1 continuity|IDW's Generation 1 comic universe]]. The earlier waves of figures sported advertising for [[Hub Network|The Hub]] or ''War for Cybertron''.

===Asian market exclusives ("GDO")===
[[File:GenerationsAsianDeluxes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Asian market exclusive packaging for Cliffjumper, Springer, Swerve and Wheelie (top) and North American market ToysЯUs exclusive packaging (bottom).]]
In mid-2012, Hasbro's Asian division released a variety of [[redeco]]s and [[retool]]s in their markets such as China, Singapore and the Philippines. This lineup, which featured the same general packaging design as the 2010–2011 figures, introduced the first non-Deluxe toys in the line (as ''Generations'' had been limited to the Deluxe price point up to that point). Western online retailers referred to these figures under the mysterious term "GDO" (which was later revealed to be an abbreviation for "Global Development Organization"<ref name="gdo">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/637547-i-found-out-what-gdo-means.html TFW2005 thread] containing an answer by Hasbro's customer service regarding the meaning of the term "GDO".</ref>).

Hasbro's United States and Canadian divisions later decided to release all these figures in North America as well, as a ''massive'' batch of [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] exclusives for the 2012 holiday shopping season. Strangely, while the Asian market versions were released in standard English-only packaging, the versions available in the United States and Canada came in [[multilingual packaging|bilingual]] English/Chinese packaging. Also, the Deluxes came packaged in their [[alternate mode]]s, whereas the Asian versions were packaged in [[robot mode]].

{{anchor|Fall of Cybertron}}
[[File:Generations Fall of Cybertron logo.png|600px|center]]{{-}}
After a six-month hiatus, the ''Generations'' line was relaunched mid-2012, starting out the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' toyline with eight Deluxe Class figures. The line continued into 2013, with Legends and Voyager Classes being introduced too. Unlike the previous [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], now absorbed into ''[[Cyberverse]]'' under the name 'Legion Class', these new products consisted of two-packs of [[data disc]] [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]] figures designed to interact with the Voyager Class [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] mold.

===''Thrilling 30'' (2013-2014)===
{{anchor|Thrilling 30}}
[[File:Thrilling30.png|upright=1.4|center]]{{-}}
In mid-2013, ''Generations'' was rebranded to become part of Hasbro's ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' anniversary campaign, which saw the line return to the ''Classics''/''Universe''-style updates of older characters. This refresh was notable for introducing close ties with [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''Transformers'' material – many toys were based on designs from comics, and every Deluxe figure was packaged with a comic issue. The format of Legends Class was also changed, now including a vaguely ''Cyberverse'' Commander-sized figure with a smaller, triple-changing partner. ''Thrilling 30'' saw two new size classes introduced to the line – 2013 featured the huge Titan Class [[Metroplex (G1)#Generations|Metroplex]] figure, whilst 2014 debuted Leader Class with [[Jetfire (G1)#Generations|Jetfire]].

For 2013, toys featured packaging art by [[Clayton Crain]] and the Deluxe pack-in comics were ''[[The Transformers: Spotlight|Spotlight]]'' issues. Continuing into 2014, the included issues tied into the "[[Dark Cybertron (IDW)|Dark Cybertron]]" story and [[Phil Jimenez]], who helped plan and draw that event, took over package art duties.

==''Combiner Wars'' (2015–)==
{{anchor|Combiner Wars}}
[[File:Combiner Wars logo.png|600px|center]]{{-}}
For 2015, the line was given another [[subline imprint]] titled ''Combiner Wars'', which saw Deluxe, Voyager and some Legends figures able to form [[combiner]] robots. The format for Legends Class was changed once again, dropping the small partner figures of the ''Thrilling 30'' line.

The packaging of IDW comic books with US Deluxes continued, whilst Legends, Voyagers and non-US Deluxes gained collector cards featuring art from the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game. However, due to production schedule problems,<ref>[http://bwtf.com/events/toyfair2015/interview-part1 Interview with Jerry Jivoin at BWTF.com]</ref> Deluxe wave 1's initial US release featured the collector cards. Along with the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' line, ''Combiner Wars'' also heralded the return of [[multilingual packaging]] to the United States market, now in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. The sole exception to this was the Deluxe figures packaged with comic books, which retained monolingual packaging.

==="GDO" Cyber Series figures===
Three years after a large batch of redecos and retools had been created for Hasbro's Asian markets (with North American Toys"R"Us branches later picking them up as exclusives), Hasbro's Global Development Organization ("GDO") division was given a budget to design entirely new toys. Taking a cue from the [[tail-ender|tail-end]] ''[[Beast Hunters]]'' Deluxe and Voyager Class figures (with the Deluxes having ended up being available only in international markets such as Asia and Europe not by design but by circumstance), most of these figures were based on smaller figures from the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Transformers: Prime]]'' ''[[Cyberverse]]'' Legion Class, ''Generations'' Thrilling 30 Legends Class and [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'']] Legion Class ranges, with the designs upsized to roughly Deluxe or Voyager size, keeping the engineering mostly unchanged. These figures were not only released in Hasbro's Asian markets this time, but also in Latin American markets.

===Platinum Edition===
{{main|Transformers: Platinum Edition#Generations}}

==Japan==
[[TakaraTomy]] initially had ''[[Transformers United]]'' as their counterpart to the first phase of the ''Generations'' line. In 2012, with the revival of the Hasbro ''Generations'' line, TakaraTomy decided to use the same name for their successor to the ''United'' toyline. Similarly to ''United'', many of the figures have been given "premium" paint jobs, being coated in shiny paint and featuring numerous additional paint details. Japanese ''Generations'' ended roughly halfway through the Hasbro's ''Thrilling 30'' assortment, and subsequent ''Generations'' molds were released in Japan under a new banner, ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Transformers Legends]]''. The "Combiner Wars" toys were released under the [[Transformers Unite Warriors|''Unite Warriors'']] toy line, which featured five-packs of the ''Combiner Wars'' combiner teams. Sling, Wildrider, and Groove (redecos of Hasbro's Quickslinger and Brake-Neck and an original mold, respectively) are included instead of Alpha Bravo, Offroad, and Rook. The deco on ''Unite Warriors'' toys focuses primarily on [[show-accuracy|accuracy to the ''Generaton 1'' cartoon]] compared to Hasbro's more G1 toy-accurate approach. Also, post-Skrapnel Legends Class figures including all ''Combiner Wars'' ones were redecoed, retooled to have a circular sticker indent, and drafted into the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Adventure Series|''Adventure Series'']] toy line.

==Notes==
[[File:TF2010 deluxe SpecialOpsJazz.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85||[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|I don't belong here,]] bitches!]]
* During 2010, clicking "War for Cybertron Toys" on Hasbro's ''War For Cybertron'' web page actually brought up the whole ''Generations'' toy line. Looking for ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' toys? Here you go.
* Since the toys released during the first phase of the ''Generations'' toy line were all Deluxe-sized, the difficulty level bar on the front side of the packaging (which indicates how hard it is to convert a toy from mode to mode) denoted each individual toy's challenge level (Cybertronian Bumblebee, for example, is a Level 4, while Thrust is a Level 2).
* The plastic-coated wire twist-ties, which were normally used to secure a toy in its packaging in past toylines, have been replaced with rattan tie-downs. The paper-based tie-downs are also used in the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] toy line and subsequent toy lines moving forward.
* The 2010 ''Transformers'' toy line, particularly the ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[subline imprint]], contains several toys with a design aesthetic similar to the Generations line. This led to confusion when fan expectations were contradicted by official Hasbro announcements. Subsequently, Hasbro released [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Generations|Wheeljack]], a [[retool]] of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Tracks (G1)|Turbo Tracks]], and [[Junkyard (G1)#Generations|Junkheap]], a retool of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Wreck-Gar (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Wreck-Gar]], under the ''Generations'' banner, later followed by ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''-inspired redecos of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Special Ops Jazz]] released as part of the "Ultimate Gift Set" and the Asian market/[[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive [[Wheelie (G1)#Generations|Wheelie]] redeco/retool of Special Ops Jazz, all of them also in ''Generations'' packaging, thus further strengthening the ties between the two lines.
[[File:CW HufferBlackjack.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
* Most of the 2010–2011 ''Generations'' toys (along with several from the 2010 ''Transformers'' toy line) were released by [[TakaraTomy]] in their ''[[Transformers United]]'' toyline. The toys representing [[character]]s who appeared in the video game ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' (which is part of the [[Aligned continuity family]]) were released as their [[Generation 1 continuity family]] counterparts in Japan. The waves from 2012 and onward were released under the ''Generations'' banner in Japan as well.
* As the toy list in the article above shows, the 2012-onwards figures were numbered in sequence for each [[size class]] assortment separately. However, the [[Combaticon (WFC)|Combaticon]] and [[Wrecker]] combiner teams were also ''additionally'' numbered as members of their respective teams, and the sequences for those two separate sets of numbers are completely inconsistent with each other: For the Combaticons, team members 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 correspond with Deluxe Class Series 1 figures #004, #008, #006, #005 and #007, respectively; and for the Wreckers, team members 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 correspond with Deluxe Class Series 1 figures #014, #016, #018, #017 and #015, respectively. The only consistent system is that each sculpt is given the same number as a team member between both sets.
*In a frankly inexplicable turn of events, the existence of Huffer and the name of Blackjack in the ''Combiner Wars'' toyline were first revealed by a [[stock photography|stock photo]] of Menasor released during [[San Diego Comic-Con]] [[2014]]. What appeared to be a plain white background was, with color correction, revealed as a {{w|Mac OS}} screenshot displaying filenames for those two characters. Blackjack could easily be identified as the unnamed black-and-purple car revealed at SDCC, whilst Huffer's toy was later announced at [[New York Comic Con]].
*The limb robots substituted out of ''Combiner Wars'' Superion, Menasor and Defensor, namely [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]], [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] and [[Groove (G1)|Groove]], also happen to be the same members whose ''[[Kre-O]]'' incarnations were sold separately from their teams. Coincidence? Probably.
*The Wave 2 of Combiner Wars it's currently unreleased in European Market. However, Legends Blackjack was listed in TRU Spain and Portugal website. Because, you know, 'Spain is different'

'''''Beast Machines: Transformers''''' is a 26-episode cartoon that aired in the US from 1999 to 2000, in support of the [[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|toyline]] of the same name. It is a direct follow-up to ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'', set in the same G1 continuity and featuring many of the same characters. Like ''Beast Wars'', its [[CGI|computer animation]] was created by [[Mainframe Entertainment]].

==Overview==
[[File:Thereformattingmaximalsmaximize.jpg|left|upright=1.67|thumb|The Maximals, in a rare moment of Not Running Away.]]
The show follows the adventures of the core ''Beast Wars'' cast upon their return home to Cybertron; there, Optimus Primal and his crew find that the whole planet is abandoned, and the streets are patrolled by mindless [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon drones]] serving [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]], who somehow escaped his captivity.

Worse still, they learn that they are infected with a deadly [[Transformation virus|virus]] that will kill them in a matter of hours. Salvation comes from the mysterious supercomputer known as the Oracle, who sees them fit to complete its mission of a planetwide "reformatting", and turns them into [[technorganic]] warriors, a perfect blend of organic and technological matter.

As the show progresses, Primal and his fellow Maximals learn to balance their technological side with their newly introduced organic aspects, mastery coming in slow stages. Unlike the previous [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|conflict]], where sides had been roughly equal, the four original Maximals were quite outnumbered by their Vehicon enemies, and the battles took on a "guerilla warfare" feel, with the Maximals using sewers and underground levels to their advantage and avoiding surface levels unless for combat purposes. As the show progresses, two brand-new Maximals and a returning face boost their numbers.

Initially, Optimus is driven by a crusade to restore the organic above the technological and to right his failure to stop Megatron. Over time, it becomes increasingly clear that he's becoming obsessed and overzealous. At the midpoint, after Cybertron is almost destroyed, he realises that the point should be to create a ''balance'' of organic and technological, not a supremacy. Under this new, saner cause, the Maximals eventually turn Cybertron into an [[technorganic]] paradise, though at the cost of their [[Optimus Primal/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|leader]]'s life.

In 1999, Bob seems to say other BM writers came up with Vehicons but in 2015 he says that's Wolfman</ref> [[Bob Skir]] and [[Marty Isenberg]] were invited into a discussion, despite not knowing much about Transformers, because of their good working relationship with [[Fox Kids]] (who they'd worked on shows like ''[[Godzilla]]: The Series'' for). Skir didn't think he had a shot but it'd be good to network with Mainframe for the future. <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DaZTNszyGU Moonbase 2 interview with Bob Skir], 39:13 to 41:57</ref> In the end, Fox said they wanted the duo script editing a show based on Wolfman's outline <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DaZTNszyGU Moonbase 2 interview with Bob Skir], 42:00 to 42:57</ref> (Bob felt a bit bad about that and made sure to hire Wolfman to write episodes<ref>49:50 to 50:00</ref>).

[[File:Oracle (The Reformatting).jpg|right|upright=1.34|thumb|]]

[[Bob Skir]] says that other writers came up with the Vehicon Generals and "all the mystical stuff came from Marty [Isenberg] and I, based on Hasbro's request that we add a "spiritual dimension" to the show". (The phrase "I am transformed" comes from Hasbro too) The overall arc of the series also came from Skir and Isenberg "based on many conversations with Hasbro, [[Mainframe Entertainment|Mainframe]], [[Fox Kids|Fox]], and us".<ref name="Bob Skir FAQ from 12 October 1999">[http://web.archive.org/web/20080614012630/http://bigbot.com/beast-machines-transformers-bob-skir/Beast-Machines-FAQ/Tue_12_Oct_1999.html Bob Skir FAQ from 12 October 1999]</ref> Hasbro was quite keen on the spiritual tone out of a desire to try something new with the franchise, while Skir felt Nature versus Tech was an obvious theme but he felt that was a lazy cliche and the show should be about a balance between the two. (The technorganic characters helped him argue this)<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DaZTNszyGU Moonbase 2 interview with Bob Skir], 43:20 to 46:00</ref> He merrily went all-out with the spiritual aspect, expecting Hasbro to change their mind but he found they liked it and asked for more!<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DaZTNszyGU Moonbase 2 interview with Bob Skir], 46:50 to 47:29</ref> It was Hasbro itself who said "hey, what if someone turned into a ''plant''?" as part of their drive to stretch the franchise to its limits. <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DaZTNszyGU Moonbase 2 interview with Bob Skir], 1:36:40 to 1:36:49</ref>

One odd brief was that both Mainframe boss [[Dan DiDio]] and Hasbro didn't want Skir and Isenberg to watch old episodes, as they wanted a fresh take and DiDio felt ''Beast Wars'' was too continuity heavy. (He'd even told Wolfman that ''Beast Wars'' had no ties to the original series and to do as he pleased with [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity]] when doing his outline!<ref>''Beast Machines'' DVD supplementary materials</ref>) Again: ''Beast Machines'' was a sequel to a sequel. As it turned out, ''Beast Machines'' ended up being ''more'' continuity heavy and one reason was because Hasbro ''told'' them about things like [[Vector Sigma]] and [[Hate Plague]] and encouraged them to be used! <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DaZTNszyGU Moonbase 2 interview with Bob Skir], 1:13:30 to 1:16:04</ref>

Isenberg did most of the work on ''Beast Machines'' S1 due to Skir's workload and a bereavement, while Skir did most of S2 due to Isenberg running ''Action Man''.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DaZTNszyGU Moonbase 2 interview with Bob Skir], 1:11:36 to 1:12:46</ref>

Skir originally wanted the character of Nightscream to be a young female Transformer, patterned after the girl "Newt" from the movie ''[[wikipedia:Aliens (film)|Aliens]]''. When that was nixed, Nightscream ended up becoming [[wikipedia:John Connor|John Connor]] in ''[[wikipedia:Terminator 2: Judgment Day|Terminator 2: Judgment Day]]'' instead.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20071202095033/http://bigbot.com/beast-machines-transformers-bob-skir/Beast-Machines-FAQ/Fri_03_Dec_1999.html Bob Skir Q&A 3 December 1999] (archive copy)</ref>

Fox Kids' press release in 1999 not only still used the Beast Hunters name, it said the enemies would be ''Predacons''.<ref name="FKPR">[http://groups.google.com/group/rec.toys.transformers.moderated/msg/946225010fc740fb "Fox Kids Fall Press Release" from alt.toys.transformers on February 10, 1999]</ref> Since the first episode was aired five months after the press release, in an advance screening at [[BotCon 1999]], the name change to ''Beast Machines'' seems to have been a late decision. The Predacons may be an error or a deliberate "well nobody's heard of Vehicons yet" decision, as no other source has talked about Predacons being in it.

===Reception===

{{bigquote|It's been ''thirteen years!'' ... If there was one particular [Transformers] show you didn't like, I'm really sorry but, y'know, there were other ones too!|Bob Skir<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DaZTNszyGU Moonbase 2 interview with Bob Skir]</ref>}}

[[File:Endgame1 Nightscream sonic attack.jpg|right|upright=1.34|thumb|'''I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I - HATE - ''YOU''!''']]

Controversial even by the standards of other ''Transformers'' reinventions, ''Beast Machines'' is remembered by some as a series which tried to tackle heavy philosophical concepts, discussing such issues like what it meant to live in an increasingly technological society, the dichotomy between the desires of the individual and the needs of the whole, the inevitability of conflict and inequality in a free society, the ugly consequences of fanaticism, and the paradox of a living technological world. Story editor [[Bob Skir]] describes the series as a "religious epic novel for television".<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAkRF4QBKew Bob Skir interview at youtube.com]</ref> Most of the Transformers [[franchise]] lore about [[spark]]s, their abilities, and the mechanism of their life cycle, was introduced or developed in this series.

The series amassed many detractors early on, who complained that core cast portrayals were inconsistent with how these personalities had been established over the years of the preceding ''Beast Wars'' series. Examples include Megatron being a far grimmer villain with a completely different agenda from before; Rattrap appearing to be too cowardly; Rhinox apparently ''choosing'' to become a villain (though it sounded like he was no longer in his right mind);<ref>[http://www.bigbot.com/beast-machines-transformers-bob-skir/Beast-Machines-FAQ/Fri_03_Dec_1999.html Bob Skir Q&A]</ref> and, later on, Silverbolt being a grim, vengeance-driven soldier with none of his former goofy-noble personality. Critics also alleged a "hippie" agenda behind ''Beast Machines'', with Optimus Primal becoming an anti-technology guru (it was actually intentional that Primal was going too far and he'd moderate his views in Season 2), and criticised Bob Skir's decision that the Maximals would not use guns (though big swords and highly destructive laser blasts were okay).

The show's "epic novel" storytelling structure meant that at times it was forced to tread water, relying on repetitive chase scenes and expository speeches. The plot and tone, with the heroes outnumbered and outgunned and on the run, also meant many episodes would have them running or under stress, without the humorous, occasionally zany approach of ''Beast Wars'' to balance it out: this was intentional but often a frustrating viewing experience. It was also, at that point in time, by far the most serialized American ''Transformers'' cartoon, making it difficult for new viewers to join at some random episode and be hooked in. It didn't help that the series began "in medias res" and with the characters suffering amnesia, with many foundational issues deliberately left vague until at last resolution was established in flashbacks in episodes 7-9. By then, [[Mainframe Entertainment|Mainframe]] executive [[Asaph Fipke]] had become somewhat notorious for repeatedly assuring fans that "all will be revealed". ''Why'' the series opened with the Maximals having amnesia and being in their Season 1 organic bodies is not obvious, as (aside from explaining why they're not immediately looking for Rhinox and Silverbolt) it wouldn't have affected the plot either way. It ''may'' have been because ''Beast Wars'' repeats were airing on [[Fox Kids]] at the same time ''Beast Machines'' had started.

The show is one of the darker ''Transformers'' animated series and the most thought-provoking. It is also the final animated entry into the Generation 1 story canon, bringing the events in that continuity family to a rather conclusive ending (which ''also'' didn't win it many popularity points). If nothing else, the creators had ambitions to do more than [[to sell toys|sell toys]].

Despite all the criticisms, the show continued and improved on the high production values of ''Beast Wars'', with solid scripting and excellent voice acting. The CGI varied from competent to gorgeous. A step up in quality from ''Beast Wars,'' it dramatically overshadows the later semi-CGI shows ''[[Transformers: Energon (cartoon)|Energon]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (cartoon)|Cybertron]].'' Mainframe's animators showed their considerable talents in giving highly emotive expression to such alien characters as the [[Vehicon general]]s and even the [[Diagnostic Drone]], who ''didn't have a face''. As with ''Beast Wars'', [[Robert Buckley]] provided the series background music, this time creating a stylized electronic music in keeping with the mechanical environment of Cybertron.

Hasbro was happy enough with how the show was doing that they asked Skir if there could be a third season. Believing that the show was strongest with 26 episodes and that (after the fandom controversy) Hasbro would want a rethink soon, Skir turned this down.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DaZTNszyGU Moonbase 2 interview with Bob Skir], 52:39 to 54:57</ref> A [[Transtech|followup line]] was planned instead but after that aforementioned rethink, it was subsequently scrapped. Hasbro's next foray into animation would be to bring over a [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 cartoon)|year-old Japanese show]] for consumption in the United States, till a [[Unicron Trilogy|new story]] could be concocted.

In [[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)|light]] [[Transformers: Energon (cartoon)|of the]] [[Transformers: Cybertron (cartoon)|results]], and with the passage of time, some fans have re-evaluated ''Beast Machines'' more favorably, though the newfound positive reception is still not universal by any means.

==Episodes==
{{note|For a detailed list including airdates and production stats, see [[List of Beast Machines episodes]].}}
===Season 1===
[[File:Tankor flames.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Tankor, YOU'RE FIRED!]]
Season 1 largely centers on the Maximals' efforts to find out what has happened to them, as they arrive on Cybertron with no memories. In addition to Megatron and the core Maximal cast, three new Vehicon generals are introduced, as well as the new Maximal Nightscream. By the end of the season, Optimus Primal has been driven down a road of extremism, and an apocalyptic confrontation marks the season finale...

The ultimate face-off at the end of Season 1 is resolved in a most unusual and cerebral manner, setting the tone for Season 2 as Primal realizes his mission is one of balance, not extremism. Silverbolt rejoins the Maximal ranks, a new Maximal arrives from off-world, and two dangerous new generals join Megatron's side as the Maximals search for the lost Sparks of their brethren and battle to regain control of Cybertron.

==Characters==
[[File:Rattrap bm robotmode.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|There's a caption under me?!]]
Because developing new CGI character models was, at the time, an expensive and time-consuming process, the number of named on-screen characters in ''Beast Machines'' was relatively small compared to most other ''Transformers'' shows. It is thus practical to list all the Transformers who appeared in the cartoon. They are listed in order of appearance. (Most drones are not listed, and neither are incidental flashback characters.) Note that many characters besides these are also full-fledged ''Beast Machines'' characters, having appeared in other media.

==Japanese release==
[[File:BeastWarsReturnsLogo01.jpg|center|250px|]]

The ''Beast Machines'' franchise was not initially released in Japan. As such, the ''Beast Machines'' cartoon did not reach Japan's shores until late 2004, where it was retitled '''''Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Returns''''' (超生命体トランスフォーマービーストウォーズリターンズ, ''Chō Seimeitai Transformers Beast Wars Returns''). The series was initially broadcast on the satellite-only network MobaHO! - TAKARAND from [[November 6]], 2004, to [[January 30]], 2005. In February of 2005, it was reaired on [[Cartoon Network|Cartoon Network Japan]] and, following that, other networks including Gifu Terebi.

The localization was headed up by [[Yoshikazu Iwanami]], the man responsible for the dubbing of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'', and thus ''Beast Wars Returns'' was reworked to the same extent as the previous series had been in Japan. The overblown jovial character quirks exclusive to the Japanese version of the series were retained while new quirks were created for the newer characters.

Perhaps most troubling of this satirical and humor-driven dub was [[Nightscream (BM)|Nightscream]]'s characterization. Nightscream was turned into a flaming homosexual stereotype, lifting many quirks from the then-popular "Hard Gay" persona of comedian [[Wikipedia:Masaki Sumitani|Masaki Sumitani]] (including ripping off his catchphrase, "Fuu!"). Other homosexual stereotypes attached to Nightscream included a new obsession with fashion and style, highly effeminate petnames for other characters (such as calling Rattrap "Aunty"), and a more lustful infatuation with the character [[Noble (BM)|Noble]]. While effeminate, vaguely homosexual characters are not uncommon in Japanese ''Transformers'' cartoons (many Japanese incarnations of [[Starscream (disambiguation)|Starscream]] are ''preeeeetty'' gay), the portrayal of Nightscream in this manner was not particularly respectful. For example, as they were both flyers, Silverbolt often spent more time with Nightscream than he did Blackarachnia. Already feeling jilted due to Silverbolt's new standoffish personality, this regularly incited angry commentary from the jealous fembot, who derisively referred to Nightscream and Silverbolt as the "homo-tachi". This would be the same as her immaturely mocking them and calling them the "gay boys" in English.

Other changes included Megatron's various Vehicon drone forces taking on individual chants that they would repeat ad nauseum for every second of screen time. Additionally, one of the series' major plot twists was ignored for the sake of goofy adlibbing, as Thrust and Jetstorm retained not only the voice actors for Waspinator and Silverbolt, but all of the unique vocal and personality quirks belonging to those characters, thus eliminating any ambiguity to their previous identities. And needless to say, with this being a parody dub, all moments in the original version that were intended to be dramatic were reworked for comedy value.

Given the low-key release of the series, a new [[theme song]] was not recorded. Instead, "[[Phat Planet]]" by [[Leftfield]] was retained. Characters from the series would proceed to talk over the entire length of the [[title sequence]], having "amusing" conversations (likewise, they talked over the ending credits). Only one original piece of music was recorded for the series, "[[Megatron Ondo]]" by [[Yukio Hibariya]] and partly performed by [[Shigeru Chiba]], created exclusively for Volume 7 of the ''Beast Wars Returns'' DVD release.

Also exclusive to the final DVD release of the series was an additional, goofy clip show:

==Notes==
*The idea of Cybertron having once been organic was a throwaway idea in [[Marvel Comics]] original treatment!<ref name="BC10">[http://www.toycollectors.com.au/bc10/bc10bb.html griffin's 2010 BotCon report]</ref>
*Skir and Isenberg had to pass up a dream project, an ''[[Avengers]]'' cartoon, as they'd accidentally committed to doing ''Beast Machines''.
*The theme tune for the show was Leftfield's "Phat Planet". This was also used for a famous Guinness advert. The latter proved a more popular TV slot.
*This was the first ''Transformers'' fiction where the good guys didn't use any form of guns. This was down to Bob Skir preferring to write heroes who didn't rely on guns,<ref name="FKPR"/> and Hasbro and Fox Kids both wanting to have less gunplay than before (though super-explodey lasers and sharp instruments were fine!).<ref name="Skir">[http://web.archive.org/web/20080222040119/http://bigbot.com/beast-machines-transformers-bob-skir/Beast-Machines-FAQ/Sat_06_Nov_1999.html Archived Q&A from Bob Skir's now-defunct website,] where Skir responds to the gun controversy (question 7).</ref> When Skir said this online, [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers#Beast Machines|many fans wraxed wroth because they believed he was talking about gun usage in ''all'' adventure fiction and real-life gun users too]] (he wasn't).
*Fox Kids made some edits to their ''Beast Wars'' repeats but ''Beast Machines'' got no requests to tone down the violence! <ref name="Bob Skir FAQ from 12 October 1999"/>
*Apart from flashbacks, visions and such, ''Beast Machines'' takes place entirely on (or in orbit of) Cybertron, thus making it the only television series ''not'' to feature any [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|annoying]] [[Kicker Jones|human]] [[Bud Hansen|companions]].
*[[Simon Furman]] thinks Beast Machines was too dark and serious for being a cartoon show for kids.<ref>[http://forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopic.php?t=705 SIMON FURMAN Transformers Q&A! It's here! at the IDW Publishing Forums]</ref> And trust us: the guy who wrote ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|Generation 2]]'' is something of an expert on 'too dark and serious for kids'.
* [[Vector Prime]], in contrast, thinks it was an awesome show.<ref>[[Ask Vector Prime/src|Ask Vector Prime]]</ref>
*This is the only Transformers cartoon that had a complete German dub.
