'''[[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]''' is a bot of many toys, all of which are tough customers.

{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Jeffrey Mangiat]] (packaging artist)}}

: Ironhide was part of the original assortment of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]'' [[Autobot]] cars released in 1984, transforming into a red Nissan Sunny-Vanette Coach SGL. Ironhide splits when he transforms, with most of the rear section of his van mode transforming into a [[Onebox component|battle platform]], and the remainder becoming his rather unusually-shaped, mecha-like robot form. The robot can mount onto the battle platform, which is armed with a raising missile launcher and front-mounted "Static Laser Gun". Unusually for toys of this period, the Static Laser Gun can actually store when Ironhide is in vehicle mode, plugging into his undercarriage (although the missiles for his launcher and the peg required to attach the laser don't go anywhere).

: As with all his fellow Autobot Cars from that year, Ironhide's mold derived from [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' line, a series which was ''not'' about sentient robots, but rather human-controlled machines. This mold is the one that most clearly shows evidence of this: in place of a head, these toy robots had chairs behind windscreens where the human rider would control the robot. The figures did include [[sticker]]s to go over these seats that depicted a sort of robot face, but when Ironhide and Ratchet's [[character model]]s were created for ''Transformers'' media, all traces of the human-controlled design were removed to give the robots proper faces and heads, ultimately creating the two designs which diverged the most from the toys on which they were ostensibly based.

: The stripe on the side of his vehicle mode (a sticker on the toy) is actually based on a special edition of the Nissan Cherry Vanette. On the real vehicle, the rear section (which is black on the toy's sticker) is actually the sliding rear door rail.<ref name="stripe">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-general-discussion/438046-g1-ironhides-stripes-explained.html "G1 Ironhide's Stripes...EXPLAINED!"] at TFW2005</ref>

: For unknown reasons, Ironhide was the only Autobot Car not released by Takara as part of their [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|original retail line]] in any form (while Ratchet was not available at retail, he was available as a [[S.T.A.R.S.]] mail away item). Ironhide was reissued several times; this article lists each reissue separately where appropriate.

: This mold was also used to make the concurrently-released [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Ratchet]].

: Part of the third wave of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]] (which focused on Generation 1 characters), Ironhide is a [[redeco]] of wave 1's [[Motormouth (G2)#Toys|Motormouth]], transforming into a silver Ford F150 Flareside pickup truck. Using through-axle construction for his wheels, he is compatible with most "[[Hot Wheels (franchise)|Hot Wheels]]" and "Matchbox" play sets and tracks.

: This mold was later redecoed into the ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Spychanger]] [[Ironhide (RID)#Toys|Ironhide]], the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Autobot [[Ironhide (RID)#niverse (2003)|Ironhide]], and the second ''Universe'' incarnation of [[Hoist (G1)/toys#Uni2|Hoist]].

: The toy was later [[repurposing|repurposed]] to be a [[Ironhide (G2)|"next-generation" clone of Ironhide]].

:*''Accessories'': 2 guns

: [[Power Master]] Ironhide transforms into a khaki camouflaged-and-armored Humvee. His main gimmick is his "Power Master" pull-back motor, which you use by pulling back on his motorized rear wheels, then placing one of his guns into one of the holes above the doors, which releases a catch and allows him to zip along a smooth surface.

:The Power Masters were the last toys in the ''Generation 2'' line, and were only released in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Oddly, the Australia and New Zealand releases were in US packaging, complete with [[Hasbro]]'s Rhode Island address. They also conspicuously lack any mention of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] in their stamped-on [[copyright]] information.

:Packaging mockups of Ironhide, labeled with the names "[[Pothole]]", "Belzone" and "Light Speed", showed him with a bright yellow and blue color scheme and a pink face.

:Like the previous toy, this one was also repurposed as his [[Ironhide (G2)|clone]].

{{note|The elephant Ironhide toy represents both the original Autobot and a [[Ironhide (BW)|latter-day Maximal]].}}

: ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' Ironhide transforms from an elephant via a rather complex process involving numerous hinges and unfolding panels into a rather stumpy robot. Although dumpy, he is nothing if not well-armed: he has a flip-out spike at the end of each arm, and comes with two removable guns that flip out from behind his elephant mode ears, and which can be plugged into the holes at the ends of his arms. Ironhide is packaged with [[Prowl (G1)/toys|Prowl]] and [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]], and combines with them to form his [[Magnaboss (BW)#Toys|Magnaboss]]. Ironhide forms the bulk of the combiner's mass, including all four limbs.

:The Magnaboss toy included no information about its three components beyond their names. In 2007, [[IDW Publishing]] decided to retroactively establish that the trio were the ''Generation 1'' characters of the same names, and included this revelation in their ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook]]''.

: Ironhide was slightly redecoed to create [[Santon#Toys|Santon]].

:*''ID number'': '''98'''

: Ironhide was made available in Japan for the first time as part of the ''[[The Transformers: Collector's Edition|Collector's Edition]]'' line of reissues, available exclusively from online retailer [[e-HOBBY]] in a two-pack with mold-mate Ratchet. As the first Japanese edition of Ironhide, this was the first time the toy had been given an [[List of Japanese ID numbers|ID number]]. As with his packmate, this version of the mold is the first to use metal pins for the shoulder connection rather than screws (something that all future reissues of this mold would adopt). This release also adds a rubsign onto the vehicle mode rear window.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1d1|'''Descent into Evil''' (Multi-figure boxset, 2005)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Radar assembly/energon weapon, battle sled

: ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' Ironhide is a [[retool]]ing and [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Tow-Line (Energon)#Toys|Tow-Line]], transforming from a van into a robot and separate treaded [[Onebox component|battle sled]], each featuring [[powerlinx]] ports that allow them to combine with any other compatible Deluxe or Mega from the ''Energon'' toyline. Ironhide himself forms the "torso" in such a combination (armed with small guns that flip out from his feet to become over-shoulder blasters), while his battle sled becomes the "legs" for another robot. And of course, Ironhide can powerlinx with his own battle sled.

: He was only available in the [[BotCon 2005]] exclusive ''[[Descent into Evil]]'' boxset, which also includes [[Buzzclaw (G1)#Toys|Buzzclaw]], [[Chromia (G1)#Timelines|Chromia]], [[Deathsaurus (G1)#Timelines 2|Deathsaurus]], [[Dirge (Timelines)#Toys|Dirge]], [[Outback (G1)#Timelines|Fallback]], and [[Ricochet (Timelines)#Toys|Ricochet]].

: Ironhide's retooled mold was also used to make ''Timelines'' [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#Timelines|Ratchet]]; they shared a new head mold, which combined elements of both of their designs, including Ironhide's head crest and Ratchet's forehead chevron.

===''Encore''===

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Ironhide''' (Cybertron, [[2007]])}}</ul>
:*''ID number'': '''05'''
:*''Accessories'': "Static Laser Gun", gun post, 3 missiles

: Ironhide's original Generation 1 toy was made available again in mid-December 2007 as part of Takara's ongoing ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' line of [[Generation 1 reissues|reissues]]. This version was distinguished by the inclusion of a "head" of sorts for the figure: one of the toy's box flaps featured an illustration of Ironhide's cartoon-design head and chest windshield which could be punched out along its perforated edges, and then slotted behind the toy's windshield. This hid the "chair-face" of the original toy and gave Ironhide his cartoon face... at the cost of making his arms appear to grow out of his waist.

:This version of the toy was [[retool]]ed to add a pair of "clips" to the [[Onebox component|mobile platform]]'s gun-base, designed to keep Ironhide more securely attached when riding it. However, these clips are right where a pair of decals normally go. Additionally, like the original Japanese release of the figure (but [[for safety reasons|unlike Hasbro's version]]), the missile launcher now fires.

: Tied in to Ironhide's ''Encore'' reissue was [[e-HOBBY]]'s [[exclusive]] "New Year Special" [[redeco]] of the figure: Ironhide Protect Black (アイアンハイドプロテクトブラック). The toy was priced at 4725 yen, and pre-orders were taken until [[January 11]], 2008, with a shipping date of April 2008.

:The new [[bio]] accompanying the release of the toy notes that Ironhide acquired this protective black coating to disguise himself from both Decepticons and members of the [[human]] criminal underworld, to better allow him to do his job as Optimus Prime's bodyguard. The bio also gives a name to the "mode" that consists of Ironhide standing atop his artillery platform, dubbing it his "Marauder Mode".

:[http://www.e-hobby.co.jp/shop/shopdetail.html?brandcode=034000000005&search=%A5%A2%A5%A4%A5%A2%A5%F3%A5%CF%A5%A4%A5%C9 According to e-HOBBY], the black coloration is meant to [[homage]] the original ''Diaclone'' toy which became Ironhide, but between the release of Ratchet Emergency Green and the bio's reference to black pickup trucks, it's easy to see this is also an homage to [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys|live-action movie Ironhide]]. The packaging is the same as the regular ''Encore'' Ironhide's.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Ironhide''' (Deluxe Class, 2008)}}</ul>
:*''Series'': Classic Series
:*''Accessories'': "Converting Cannon" gun/blade
{{toydesigner|[[Bill Rawley]] (Hasbro)}}

: As the first new-mold Ironhide toy designed to resemble the original character, ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Ironhide transforms into a red SUV of made-up model. His chest features an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]-like gimmick that sees mechanical detailing rise up behind his chestplate when his bumper is lowered. He is armed with a double-ended "Converting Cannon" weapon, which deploys a translucent melee blade from one end, and a gatling cannon from the other. Although the instructions indicate that Ironhide's weapon should be attached by flipping his hand to the side of his wrist (as in transformation) and fitting the weapon over the naked wrist, the hand ''can'' in fact be made to fit inside the weapon with some careful jiggling.

: His [[stock photography]] (seen [[:File:Universe 2008 Ironhide Toy.jpg|here]]) shows him with a silver face and hubcaps, but as the final product shows, that didn't happen. While Hasbro claimed there would be a [[Variant|running change]] that would have the face in silver, no such change occurred. Speaking of packaging, Ironhide was also the first new ''Universe'' figure to have [[package art]] that wasn't burdened with [[dull surprise]].

:As a nod to the [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] Generation 1 comics, Ironhide's license plate reads "OREGON"—the place that the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' crash-landed and the bulk of the first half of the comic takes place.

: The figure has a couple of production flaws. Due to a combination of three places on the figure having too much plastic, Ironhide's head assembly does not have the clearance to rise up fully, and it ends up looking like he's hanging his head in shame. However, with some heavy tinkering, the head can be raised to a more level, straight position [http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transtopia-fix-universe-20-ironhides-low-self-esteem/14298/]. The paint on the car roof has also been reported to rub off over time, and can have a sticky feel to it.

: This mold was retooled to make [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|''Universe'' Ratchet]] and ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei!]]'' [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Ratchet]] (surprising absolutely no one), plus [[BotCon 2012]]'s [[Soundwave (SG)#TLSoundwave|Sir Soundwave]]. This toy also served as the model for the [[Ironhide (SG)|''Shattered Glass'' incarnation]] of Ironhide.

:*''Accessories'': Converting Cannon
{{toydesigner|[[Naoto Tsushima]] (packaging artist)}}

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]] Transformers'' Ironhide is a redeco of ''Universe'' Ironhide, with a view to making him far more accurate to his [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]] appearance. To this end, a generally darker shade of red plastic and lighter gray plastic are used. Additionally, the blue paint used for his opaque windows is a better match to his transparent blue windows than on Hasbro's ''Universe'' toy. As with all ''Henkei'' toys, Ironhide features [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] silver for his headlights, brake lights and his Converting Cannon housing.

:Although the instructions indicate that Ironhide's weapon should be attached by flipping his hand to the side of his wrist (as in transformation) and fitting the weapon over the naked wrist, the hand can in fact be made to fit inside the weapon with some careful jiggling.
:Same as the Universe version, or on Henkei Prowl, this mold too suffers from the paint on the car roof turning sticky even on room temperatures and coming off.

: After being teased for over a year, a [[Kreon]] Ironhide finally came out as part of the biggest ''[[Kre-O]] Transformers'' set yet. Based on the original character's cartoon model, Kreon Ironhide is the lone defender of a construction site playset against four full-sized [[Constructicon (Kre-O)|Constructicon]] brick-bots; [[Scrapper (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Scrapper]], [[Drill Bit (Kre-O)#Kre-O|Drill Bit]], [[Scavenger (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Scavenger]], and [[Hightower (ROTF)#Kre-O|Hightower]].

The robot/truck build also features twin pressure-launch missile launchers, and comes with a bonus human [[Gunner]] Kreon.

: Part of the first assortment of "Custom Kreons", this version of Ironhide comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his many many extra pieces. His [[tampograph]]s are much more heavily-detailed than the original Kreon, based on the [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Generation 1|original Ironhide toy]]. His "normal" helmet and large cannon (originally from ''Kre-O [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'') are [[chrome]]d, plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), plus a buildable cannon based around the aforementioned chrome gun, a small pistol (originally a [[Klingon]] disruptor from ''Kre-O [[Star Trek]]''), a bendable gripping-claw, and a double-headed staff weapon.

: Take extreme care with the chrome rifle/clear-plastic barrel combination, as attaching the two pieces will pretty much guarantee stress fractures on the clear-plastic barrel.

: An ''incredibly'' late entry in the ''Kre-O'' line, almost two years after the last wave of Battle Changers, this version of Ironhide is a brick-built robot centered around a modified Kreon torso, transforming from robot to off-road truck and back without removing any parts. He also features a completely new waist assembly, being ''just'' the central groin piece and peg. This works with a new backpack piece that has the 1x2 "hips" part on it and clips onto the neck post rather than hang off it; this allows Ironhide's legs to rotate without colliding with his backpack, which was a problem with the prior waves of Battle Changers.

: Like his wavemate [[Megatron (WFC)/toys#BattleChanger|Megatron]], he was only available at "discount" stores, first appearing at Dollar General, and then [[Walgreens]] for the holiday season.

He has a "spinner" in his chest that shows his three attack types and power levels. His alternate mode and chest design are based on [[Ironhide (Movie)|live-action movie Ironhide]], with his head being based on the original Generation 1 Ironhide.

:He comes with a large trailer that pops open into a battle station with a pair of articulated buzzsaw-arms, and a spring-loaded vehicle launching ramp. The cannons on top of the trailer are based on live-action movie Ironhide's cannons.

:Ironhide was redecoed into [[Dirt Boss (Cybertron)#Bot Shots|Super Bot Dirt Boss]], [[Hound (G1)/toys#Bot Shots|Blitz Shot Autobot Hound]] and [[Swindle (G1)#Bot Shots|Swindle]].

: Part of the fourth wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Ironhide is a redeco/new-head retool of [[Offroad (CW)#Toys|Decepticon Offroad]], which transforms from a 4x4 double-cab pickup truck which is reminiscent of his [[Ironhide (Movie)|live-action movie counterpart]] to robot and back! As a ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe figure he can form a combined-mode limb for any Voyager Class toys from the same subline or any ''Unite Warriors'' figure or into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs but is, of course, intended to be combined with Sunstreaker, Mirage, Prowl, and Optimus Prime to create [[Optimus Maximus (G1)#Toys|Optimus Maximus]]. He is also officially associated with [[Betatron (CW)|Betatron]] and [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]]. A sticker sheet was sold at [[BotCon 2016]] to enhance Ironhide's resemblance to the original ''Beast Wars'' figure.

:He includes a [[5 mm post|5mm handle]] axe weapon, and a larger accessory that can form a hand or foot in limb mode, a gun for robot mode, and can be mounted on a tab in the vehicle mode's truck bed to form a giant engine block. In an unadvertised feature, the peg on his engine weapon is the right size to mount a [[Mini-Con]] on.

:While the front hood/windshields are needed to be folded as kneecaps for his leg mode, the piece also sticks out automatically if he collides to Optimus Prime/Motormaster's (or and of Hot Spot's redecoes/retools) protruding foot while the legs are being swiveled in his standing position, unless the leg joints are bent down to lessen the problem.

: Hilariously, the robot mode [[stock photography|stock photo]] depicting a hand-painted [[prototype]] that's featured on the back of the toy's packaging is missing the wheel on his right leg.

:Ironhide is packed with the comic book "[[First Contact (IDW)|First Contact]]", rebranded as ''Combiner Wars'' #15. In Canada, Latin America, and Europe, he was available in different types of [[multilingual packaging]] including a character card featuring his comic book cover/[[package art]] instead. He and the last three waves of Combiner Wars Deluxe and Voyager figures later started showing up at TJ Maxx at reduced prices with the collector card.

:As a part of the third and fourth wave promotion in Hasbro's Asian markets, a free sticker sheet for the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobot]]s and [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]] was given out when purchasing any four Deluxe Class toys from those waves. As such, Ironhide was given Generation 1 toy-esque stickers for the owner to apply if they wanted.<ref>[https://news.tfw2005.com/2015/08/28/transformers-combiner-wars-sticker-sheet-for-wave-3-and-4-figures-300471 Protectobot and Optimus Maximus sticker promotion on TFW2005]</ref>

{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Ironhide transforms into a licensed Cherry Vanette. He is in the standard Masterpiece [[scale]] (since [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-9]]), standing between MP-10 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|Convoy]] and MP-12 [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Lambor]] in bot mode and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Convoy's trailer]] in vehicle mode.

: He comes with accessories that reference many of the gadgets he used in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]]. Ironhide's [[character model]] did not include any weapons or other extra tools or devices, meaning there was little to no consistency in the depiction of his armament in the series; as such, the toy picks and chooses from the many weapons and accoutrements he was seen using. He includes a pair of generic Autobot laser pistols of the same design as the gun that came with ''Masterpiece'' Bumblebee (which Ironhide began using in "[[Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1]]") which can be stored on the underside of his vehicle mode, a larger gun based on his original toy's Static Laser Gun (similar weapons having been seen in "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]" and "[[A Prime Problem]]"), a set of alternate hands representing his ability to spray liquids through his fingertips (done in multiple episodes), a set of nozzles that can be exchanged for his hands based on those seen in "[[Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1]]", a second set of nozzles based not on anything from the cartoon, but on the ''connector peg'' for his Static Laser Gun from his original toy, the back-mounded missile launcher from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]" based on his original toy's launcher, his wrist-mounted sonodar sensor dish from "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]", complimented by a readout image of dinosaur bones that can be slipped behind his windshield, and the jetpack seen in "[[The Immobilizer]]", complete with jet-flare effects. A peg hole on the roof of his vehicle mode can hold one of the laser pistols or the Static Laser Gun.

: In a nod to decal face from the original G1 toy (which replaced the [[Diaclone]] pilot), Masterpiece Ironhide has a sculpted face which looks out through the windshield when in van mode.

: Unlike the original G1 toy, which in transformation from van mode split into robot and separate sled base, all of Masterpiece Ironhide’s alt mode parts are incorporated into his robot mode. His sled is an entirely separate, non-transforming slab, which unlike the G1 version has no tank tracks. It has ports for all of his accesories (except the card readout of dinosaur bones). An alternative face can be stored on the sled’s underside.

: There have been multiple reports that the first release of the mold's chrome parts suffer from early corrosion, similar to the issues encountered with the initial MP-5 [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP5|Megatron]].

:If purchased from a seller supplied by Hasbro Asia, Ironhide includes a collector coin, mounted in a card which resembles the front of his van mode. It may have also included a [[die-cast]] drill accessory, based on the one he used in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]". The drill accessory came in a small case styled to resemble a tool case.<ref>[http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/09/14/masterpiece-ironhide-asia-exclusive-drill-accessory-images-324829 Masterpiece Ironhide Asia exclusive drill accessory images]</ref>

Other changes include the stripes being yellow-y orange, a black paint is added on the front roof, and his gunmetal paint on the hood & wheel rims are now silver.

{{toydesigner|[[AJ Piejko-Brown]] (packaging)}}

: Part of the second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Ironhide transforms from robot to Cybertronian van and back. In keeping with the ''War For Cybertron'' trilogy's concerns with scale, Ironhide is a full head taller than most of his Deluxe-priced mates. He includes a gigantic missile launcher cannon called the "W-35 LR Doomblast Forge Launcher," compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], that can also convert into an equally gigantic hammer. As with all non-gimmick ''Siege'' figures, Ironhide features  "battle damage" paint applications on his lower shins, feet, and weapon. He also features multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

: Ironhide suffers from a production flaw that causes the molded hinges on his legs to be too small to properly house the side panels from his vehicle mode, causing them to pop off at the slightest pressure. This can be resolved by removing the panels and using a small screwdriver to carefully widen the pegholes, which creates enough clearance to properly house the panels within the hinges.

: Ironhide was redecoed into [[Deseeus Army Drone#Toys|Deseeus Army Drone]] and retooled to varying degrees as [[Crosshairs (G1)#Generations|Crosshairs]], [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Ratchet]] and [[Autotrooper (Animated)#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Animated Universe Autotrooper]]. The mold was also extensively retooled into ''Earthrise'' Ironhide (below).

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

: Released in the "Autobot Alliance" 2-Pack with [[Prowl (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Prowl]] in the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' toyline, Ironhide is an extensive retooling of his ''Siege'' counterpart, transforming into a van similar to his original Nissan mode. He features a new chest/windshield, bumper, lower arms, and leg panels, as well as a roof piece that converts into a shield in robot mode. While similar to the Siege version's head, the toy's head is also new, remolded to have less detailing and to be more cartoon accurate. In lieu of the Doomblast Forge Launcher (which this figure can wield if you wish), the shield can also become a giant four-barreled cannon. For a little extra firepower, Ironhide also comes with a smaller pistol. Conveniently, this gun can be stored on the underside of the shield, tucking away neatly in van mode.

: Although the figure features molded windows in van mode, said windows lack any paint, tampographs, or decals for color, which causes inconsistencies when combined with the translucent plastic from the roof to complete them. Similar to the ''Siege'' iteration, the figure's robot mode feet stick out conspicuously from the van mode's backside. Lastly, Ironhide's red color is visibly inconsistent throughout the combined figure, with some parts appearing more pink than red against the darker red pieces.

: The Drill Gun seen in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]" is sold separately as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Deluxe Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]]. ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]] / War for Cybertron Trilogy'' "Worlds Collide" [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#WorldsCollide|Bumblebee]] includes ''Earthrise'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Cliffjumper]]'s bazooka redecoed in green, matching Ironhide's bazooka in "[[Transport to Oblivion (episode)|Transport to Oblivion]]", effectively adding another weapon to this Ironhide toy's arsenal.

:The map piece that comes with Ironhide and Prowl is the mysterious [[Nebulan|Nebulon]] Station.

:This pack was exclusive to [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] in the United States, Canada and Europe. Unfortunately, the demand of the characters, combined with low stock and the COVID-19 pandemic complicating shipping issues, caused the 2-pack to command high prices online. That being said, Ironhide did get a mass-retail release with a more accurate mold in ''Studio Series'' (below), so... happy ending?

:Redone at the Voyager Class price point, ''[[Studio Series]]'' Ironhide is an attempt to improve the faults of the ''Earthrise'' version (while also being a general retail item instead of an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive). Though he is a similar size to that previous toy, the advanced transformation engineering means he doesn't have feet sticking out of the back of the vehicle mode and requires no [[Partformer|partsforming]], although it does suffer from the same varying shades of the red problem as the earlier release.

:Oddly, his signature stripe on the sides of his vehicle mode is present as molded detail, though unpainted. Unpainted translucent blue tabs also stick out the top of the vehicle mode roof, meant to secure a lightbar for the later Ratchet retool.

:Ironhide comes with dual laser pistols, which can be stored on his back, on the back of his legs, on top of his van mode, or under it as exhaust pipes.

:Just like his previous ''Siege'' and ''Earthrise'' counterparts, Ironhide's Drill Gun seen in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]" (which was sold separately as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Deluxe Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]]); as well as ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]] / War for Cybertron Trilogy'' "Worlds Collide" [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#WorldsCollide|Bumblebee]]'s green bazooka (which was reminiscent of Ironhide's bazooka in "[[Transport to Oblivion (episode)|Transport to Oblivion]]") can both be used with this figure, even though these weapons cannot accommodate with Ironhide's vehicle mode.

:Ironhide also includes a display backdrop depicting the scene from the '86 movie where he made his last stand against invading Decepticons aboard the Autobot Shuttle.

:Obviously, this figure was retooled into [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#SSVoyager|Autobot Ratchet]].

:Part of the sixth wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Core Class figures, Ironhide is the obligatory retool of [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Ratchet]] with a new head, van roof, and crotch. He transforms from a robot to a van in 15 steps and comes with two blasters which can either be held or stored on the sides of his vehicle mode. There is also ample space to store the guns inside the rear of the van.

:Despite the Core Class lacking the backdrops included with all other ''Studio Series'' [[size class]]es, the outside and insert of Ironhide's packaging is decorated with the artwork of the "Decepticon Shuttle Ambush" backdrop.

:While handling the vehicle mode, be careful not to press down the upper and lower rear panels; doing so would likely disconnect its tabbing.

: A redeco and partial retool of the above ''Studio Series'' Ironhide figure, ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' Ironhide is a morbidly hilarious version of the character during his death in the 1986 movie. In addition to a new, distressed headsculpt, his chest has been retooled to include some pretty nasty battle damage, including a 5mm port for blast effects.

: Notably, this version of Ironhide includes the yellow stripe on his van mode that the above standard ''Studio Series'' figure lacks. This figure also does away with all the painted translucent plastic featured on the previous figure, instead using a uniform red throughout, resulting in better color matching across both modes.

: He was available in a 2-pack with a similarly morbid [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Prowl]] retool, along with two purple recolors of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Jetfire]]'s [[Fire Blast effect]]s.

:In a departure from previous figures in the line, ''[[Missing Link]]'' Ironhide is less a modified recreation of the [[#The Transformers|Generation 1 toy]], and more a re-imagining of the toy if it had a robot mode closer to Ironhide's cartoon design. He transforms from a licensed Nissan Cherry Vanette into a posable robot mode with an actual head!

:As a result of the significant design change, Ironhide no longer splits into a power loader mech and battle platform like the original toy, but can be configured into a "Respect Mode" resembling the original robot mode. He does retain the ''[[Diaclone]]'' face behind the windshield for that mode, which can seat an included female pilot figure that is a redeco of the [[Carly (G1)#Missing Link|Carly figure]] included with ''Missing Link'' [[Delta Magnus#Missing Link|Delta Magnus]]. The rocket launcher from the original battle platform has been kept as a deployable back-mounted weapon.

: The Ironhide figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number. Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]]s.

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Ironhide was available in the third "act" of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. His pistol and nozzle-tipped-fingers left hand are modeled after his appearance in "[[The Search for Alpha Trion]]", though the pistol is painted black rather than light gray as in the episode. Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a colorless clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

: In two out of every ten cases, the full-color version of Ironhide came packaged with the left leg of the wave's collectable [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Fortress Maximus]] "build-a-figure". This part itself could be in either full color or clear plastic, packed at an equal 1:1 ratio.

: This figure was slightly [[retool]]ed to make ''SCF'' [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Ratchet]].

*'''Ironhide''' (2003)

: Ironhide's ''Super Collection Figure'' PVC was released the following year by Hasbro in the third wave of the ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' line. Like all the figures in the series, Ironhide was given a [[light-piping]] gimmick by being cast entirely in translucent blue plastic then painted everywhere except on his eyes and the back of his head.

: Unlike the Japanese version, he was sold separate on a blister card, and came with a [[bio]] card packed in the bubble.

:A non-transforming PVC figure of Ironhide was released as part of a promotion by [[Boss Coffee]]. The small figure was randomly included with single cans of the company's "Rainbow Mountain Blend" coffee, contained in a plastic capsule affixed to the top of can which then became a display base for the figurine once removed. Ironhide features articulation at the shoulders and waist, and came with a small catalog leaflet that could be folded up and attached to the lid/base to form a diorama background for added display value.

This detailed bust is based on Ironhide's (you guessed it) cartoon/comic model, but with much more detailing and with elements of his toy design. These include his vehicle sled's missile launcher mounted on his shoulder, his wielding of his sled's static laser gun and his original Diaclone "face" being present behind his windshield. In addition to the missile launcher being removable his open left hand can be replaced with a hand gripping his cartoon pistol for two handed "chop busting."

:Released in the First Wave of ''[[Blokees]]''' Galaxy Version line of blind boxes, this Ironhide is a four-inch-tall, articulated, and non-transforming snap-on model kit of the Autobot Van. Like many other Blokees figures, Ironhide uses a "Standard Body" as a skeleton, in which pieces are attached to make it look like different characters. Ironhide also has a figure stand with either four studs (China release/Chinese logo) or two studs (Global release/English logo) on top, which he can plug into and connect to similar stands.

:Unlike the CG render, Ironhide's face piece ''cannot'' thoroughly insert into the helmet/head part. Some of Ironhide's body parts, like the elbow joints/forearms and waist, are not accurate to his animation model. They can be swapped with other similarly colored pieces, if desired.

:Released as part of the Golden Lagoon-based 2024 Yearly Box Set, this kit of Ironhide is a redeco of the original Galaxy Series kit, with its face and front torso molded in translucent plastic with shiny Electrum-based gold paint and plastic. Like the Shining Version kits, he features a new LED torso frame that emits a (very bright) golden light to shine through the neck if shaken (or flicked/tapped).

:As with the rest of his pack-in mates in this set, Ironhide suffers from a case of [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]], as his molded gold hinge joints can potentially snap off due to the swirly plastic.

:This special edition box set included gold redecoes of '[[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#Exclusive Yearly Version|Optimus Prime]], [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Exclusive Yearly Version|Prowl]], [[Long Haul (G1)/toys#Exclusive Yearly Version|Ironhide]], and [[Starscream (G1)/merchandise#Exclusive Yearly Version|Starscream]].

:Like most of the larger Galaxy Version kits, Ironhide features a simple neck joint that is colored to match his optics, allowing it to be see-through from his head's eye holes. He also comes with one of the three random plastic commemorative coins (with etchings of Optimus Prime's head, his truck form, and Megatron's head) in every case that contains the kit.

:Sold as part of the third wave of [[Yolopark]]'s AMK ''(Advanced Model Kit)'' Mini Series, this kit of Ironhide can only be completed by snapping the pre-painted pieces together. Aside from an extra pair of splayed open hand parts, Ironhide only comes with his own blaster. As with the rest of the kits starting from this wave, he also features new articulation points (the only kit in this wave to have them), particularly the upwards-raising joints, the ball-and-socket jointed waist-to-torso, double-jointed elbows, slide-down hip joint axes, and nearly 100-degree knees. Additionally, his fists now have round peg holes instead of rectangular ones, making him incompatible with weapons from the previous two waves.

:Ironhide is sold as either an individually marked single or a blind box figure. He also shares a mold with the same line's Ratchet.

==Notes==
[[File:Generation2LightSpeed.jpg|thumb|upright=0.6|You have to be pretty desperate to copy Blowout's motto.]]
*The black ''[[Diaclone]]'' version of Ironhide was sold by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] in North America as the ''[[Diakron]]'' "DK-2" Car/Robot in 1983, seemingly just a few months before he would be rebranded as a Transformer.
*An early version of [[Power Master]] Ironhide's artwork in blue and yellow was used on packaging mock-ups displayed around [[Hasbro]]'s headquarters bearing the names "Light Speed", "Belzone", and "Pothole", though no release of these toys was ever intended.
*A mock-up of a new [[Camshaft (G1)|Camshaft]] toy in the form of a ''Universe'' (2008) Ironhide redeco was shown in ''[[Transformers Generations 2014 Vol. 1]]'' as one of ten potential exclusives for ''[[Transformers Generations 2014 Vol. 2|Vol. 2]]''. During the fan poll held to determine which of the ten would be produced, Camshaft claimed only 1.6% of the votes, leaving him in second-to-last place.<ref>[http://millionhero.sblo.jp/article/101898683.html Poll results at Hero-X]</ref>
*In the first year of ''[[Kre-O]]'', long before Devastator's set was released, an Ironhide Kreon was included in a turntable display of Kreons found in some retail outlets, often labeled as Sideswipe. He taunted you.

:''[[Transformers Collaborative|Collaborative]]'' Twin Mill is a Deluxe Class figure that transforms into a new version of the 1969 ''Hot Wheels'' original-design "[[wikia:hotwheels:Twin Mill|Twin Mill]]" racer, cast in a slightly-metallic blue plastic to evoke the toys' original (and now outlawed-cuz-of-lead-paint) "Spectraflame" sheen. The twin engine blocks of the car form arm-mounted guns for the robot mode, complete with flame-exhaust fire blast effects that slot onto the long exhaust pipes (and are curved so they go around Twin Mill's wider-at-the-back contours).

: Undocumented in the instructions, but depicted in the card artwork, the air intakes of the engine blocks are attached by [[5 mm post]]s and can be held as pistols (or mounted wherever else you like that's 5 mm compatible). The exhaust pipes are also removable 5 mm-post attachments, though they also have long, low stabilizing bars at the base to keep them properly positioned on the car-chunks, which can interfere slightly with their use as hand-held weapons given the shallowness of the pegs.

Transformers Collaborative

2026-05-12T18:41:48Z

BluJayWarrior: /* Toyline */ new hot wheels wave official reveal

[[File:Collaborative.jpg|200px|center]] 

'''''Transformers Collaborative''''' is a [[subline imprint|subline]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[franchises|franchise]] that began in [[2019]], intended to incorporate entertainment properties originating outside of the ''Transformers'' brand, not unlike the ''[[Transformers: Crossovers|Crossovers]]'' franchise (2008–2011) before it. However, this line has a much, ''much'' broader scope, with most of the crossovers being with properties not owned or long-term-licensed by Hasbro. This has also led the line to have a very high percentage of original characters.

The first couple of ''Collaborative''... uh, collaborations received tie-in crossover comics during [[IDW Publishing]]'s time with the ''Transformers'' license.

{{quote|Transformers robots have always been—More Than Meets the Eye—but now, through the Transformers Collaborative, fans can experience these larger than life characters as they team-up, mash-up, and meet up with other characters, teams, and people who share this same special quality.|Collaborative marketing blurb}}

==Fiction==
* ''[[Transformers/Ghostbusters]]: Ghosts of Cybertron'' (5-part miniseries)
:: Occurs in IDW's pre-existing ongoing ''Ghostbusters'' universe.
* ''[[Transformers/Back to the Future]]'' (4-part miniseries)

==Toyline==
{{note|Unlike most toy lists on this wiki, these are in chronological order, both in the order the crossovers are presented and and in the column contents. Items in the columns are alphabetized when toys are released simultaneously. There can sometimes be gaps between releases in a single crossover (sometimes years-long!), so if you see a jump in alphabetizing, that's a sign of a gap.}}

Transformers 3: The Game

2026-05-12T00:55:54Z

|developer=[[Luxoflux]] {{w|XPEC Entertainment}}
|publisher=
|date=Cancelled
}}

'''Transformers 3: The Game''' (sometimes known as '''TF3''') was the internal name for a ''Transformers'' game in development at [[Luxoflux]], following the release of their 2009 [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' tie-in game]]. Although its title suggests it would be a tie-in to the upcoming ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'' film, none of its known content seems to be actually related to the third ''Transformers'' live-action movie (see [[Transformers 3: The Game#Notes|notes]]).

As Luxoflux closed down, development for ''Transformers 3: The Game'' was briefly moved to Taiwanese studio {{w|XPEC Entertainment}}. Eventually, the game never came to fruition, with [[High Moon Studios]] taking the lead on developing future games for the ''Transformers'' franchise in the next years to come — including the actual, ultimately entirely different [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|''Transformers: Dark of the Moon'' video game]].
{{TOCclear}}
==Overview==
[[File:ROTF 360Devbuild Jetfire Junkion.jpg|thumb|right|170px]]
Shortly after the release of the Character and Map Pack DLC, Luxoflux began work on another Transformers game codenamed ''TF3''. Artists [[Ken Christiansen]] and [[Frankell Baramdyka]] created character and environment concept arts intended for the game. However, the game was abruptly cancelled, due to Luxoflux’s closure in 2010. No more details would be known about the game until a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef0U67twBm0 prototype build] of the game leaked in 2024, dated September 2009. This test build of the game contains various dioramas for levels intended to be in the game, such as the arctic, Junkion, and an area based on the Quintesson Court seen in the [[The Transformers: The Movie|86 movie]].

As well as containing a debug menu, this build is also compatible with the files of the 2009 ''Revenge of the Fallen'' videogame and its DLC, allowing for a more in depth look into the game’s characters and levels, including playing as Demolisher and the Fallen! This game would’ve taken a more G1-inspired approach, with [[Grimlock (AOE)#Notes|Grimlock]], [[Cyclonus (AOE)|Cyclonus]] and more G1 characters were planned to be playable characters. Thankfully, [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)| a G1-inspired third person shooter Transformers game]] featuring [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] and [[Cyclonus (WFC)|Cyclonus]] would later release, made by [[High Moon Studios]] and [[Vicarious Visions]].

In May 2026, [https://hiddenpalace.org/Transformers:_Dark_of_the_Moon_(Aug_3,_2010_prototype) an Xbox 360 test build] of ''{{w|Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure}}'' would get leaked online. This test build was dated August 3rd, 2010, an entire year before the game's release. In the test build, as well as in the game files, there would be references to a ''Transformers 3'' game, such as a menu screen and some video files. Developer {{w|XPEC Entertainment}}, who would later work on ''Spyro’s Adventure'', reused Luxoflux’s engine and assets, but was later discarded in the final release. There’s only one level in the build, an early version of the Crystal Castle level, with other variations set at different times of day, all with several ''Skylanders'' characters standing in the middle of the map.

==Notes==
*It is worth noting that, while the ''Transformers: Dark of the Moon'' movie was in development at the same time, nothing in this game relates to the plot of the movie. Either XPEC were going to make an original 3rd live action Transformers game, or it would’ve been a prequel to the movie. XPEC’s version of ''TF3'' would later be discarded for High Moon Studios’ [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|''Dark of the Moon'' game]], though judging from the date of the test build and the announcement trailer in March 2011, High Moon probably had a little under a year to make it.

Transformers Universe (Jagex)

2026-05-12T00:40:35Z

BluJayWarrior: new category

{{disambig3|Transformers: Universe}}
[[File:JagexPresentsTransformersUniverse-Logo.png|center|600px]]

'''''Transformers Universe''''' is a cancelled free to play browser based massively{{sic}} online tactical action game, or MOTA, developed by [[Jagex]].<ref>[http://www.transformersuniverse.com/en/news/2014/2/state-of-the-factions-050214]</ref> First unveiled at Botcon 2011,<ref>http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/06/02/jagex-reveals-transformers-universe-gears-up-for-botcon/</ref> closed beta testing began a year later in 2012<ref>http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-10-15-robots-smash-it-in-first-transformers-universe-gameplay-video</ref>, with Jagex announcing they had indefinitely paused development of their MMORPG ''Stellar Dawn'' to focus on ''Transformers Universe''.<ref>http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-03-02-jagex-suspends-sci-fi-stellar-dawn-mmo</ref> Closed beta then ended sometime in 2013. In 2014 Jagex announced the change to from MMO to MOTA<ref>http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-02-28-this-is-what-the-transformers-mota-looks-like</ref> and closed beta registrations began again. The game entered open beta testing on [[July 4]], 2014.<ref>[http://services.transformersuniverse.com/m=forum_tu/l=0/forums.ws?1,2,41,7390 Open Beta - 4th July - Announcements - Transformers Universe Forum:]: We are proud to announce Transformers Universe will be throwing open its doors to the world when we go in to Open BETA this Friday, July 4th from 6am EDT and 11am GMT.
*[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/video-games-17/transformers-universe-beta-launch-press-release-180613/ Transformers Universe Beta Launch Press Release]</ref> It was to be set in an ''alternate'' version of the ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]'' portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]]. Gamers could choose to be an [[Autobot]] or a [[Decepticon]], obtain different warriors, and pit them against one another in various challenges and battles to gather [[Relic]]s and [[Energon]].

The gameplay was somewhat similar to other multiplayer battle arena games such as ''{{w|Dota 2}}'' or ''{{w|League of Legends}}''; however, there were no lanes or creeps, and the game was played from a third person perspective. Players picked from a roster of warriors and went head to head in battles to capture points or to annihilate the other team. Although the game featured several ''Prime'' characters in minor roles, new introductions to the ''Prime'' mythos such as [[Prowl (WFC)|Prowl]] and [[Switchblade (Prime)|Switchblade]] took center stage.

It was announced on [[December 16]], 2014 that the game would begin a phased closure immediately, fully closing on [[January 31]], 2015, without ever having left beta testing.<ref name="closure">[https://www.transformersuniverse.com/en/news/2014/12/important-tu-announcement-161214 The Future of Transformers Universe Announcement]: Today Jagex and Hasbro can confirm that Transformers Universe will close. This decision comes at an important time for both companies as they both realign their plans and focuses for 2015.... We’re hugely disappointed, but the game will be closing over the coming weeks before its full closure at 10am GMT on 31st January 2015.... As mentioned, on 31st Jan 2015 @ 10am GMT we will be shutting down all servers and forums and will freeze all Transformers Universe related accounts. These accounts will then be live for another 60 days (approx.) for any final queries before deletion on 31st March 2015.</ref>

==Synopsis==
[[File:Base maps Transformers Universe.JPG|thumb]]
According to creative director [[Alex DeRakoff]], the main story involves [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] going missing, with the other [[Autobot]]s trying to keep his location a secret from [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]], who is travelling across the galaxy with his associates to track down Prime.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KA2QqiwVHo "Under the Hood: Episode 2"]</ref>

In the Autobot and Decepticon trailers as well as the new tutorials introduced, an additional segment of the plot was revealed: The [[Decepticon]]s have intercepted and shot down the Autobot spaceship ''[[Arclight (ship)|Arclight]]'' (which was on its way to Earth to refuel due to the Autobots having stocked up vast amounts of energon on Earth during the war on Cybertron), causing the surviving Autobots crash-land on [[Earth]] (mostly the [[United States of America|United States]]) aboard escape pods. The debris from the ''Arclight'' rained across the North America continent, while the Decepticons' ship, the ''[[Leviathan (starship)|Leviathan]]'' invaded [[Central City (Earth)|Central City]] and the Decepticons began attacking to the humans in order to draw out the Autobots and Optimus Prime. This incident prompted the president to order "a national state of emergency and the total evacuation of eleven major cities." Optimus Prime contacted [[General Freeman]], who provided these Autobot refugees with a [[High Grand|base of operations]]. In return, the Autobots vowed to protect [[human]] civilization from the Decepticon threat.

In a leaked video called "Episode 1 War Room"<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znAq4FqkKuI</ref>, Megatron greets his 'generals' ([[Tomb]], [[Swindle (FOC)|Swindle]], [[Switchblade (Prime)|Switchblade]], [[Flamewar (Prime)|Flamewar]] and an unnamed Decepticon) onboard the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'' in space. Switchblade reveals to Megatron that he has helped [[Makeshift (Prime)|Makeshift]] secure a position among the Autobots, however Prime's location remains unknown. When Switchblade expresses his opinion about Prime's intentions, Megatron quickly silences him by threatening him with his fusion cannon. Swindle, upon questioned about the production of Megatron's armada, informs Megatron that the they are behind schedule due to the expansion of operations but before he can continue, is fired upon by Megatron. Megatron orders his generals to fetch him when it's time for war, and quickly departs the room. In an updated version of the video, <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJaEB8BAgPM</ref> featuring voice acting from [[Frank Welker]] as Megatron and [[Steve Blum]] as [[Switchblade (Prime)|Switchblade]], the unnamed Decepticon and Tomb are replaced by two of the game's original characters, [[Mismatch]] and [[Contagion]].

In another leaked video<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9lYaulMDa8</ref> called "Episode 2 Digging For Trouble", General Freeman warns the Autobots (Optimus Prime, [[Meltdown (Prime)|Meltdown]] and [[Showdown (Prime)|Showdown]]) that their attempts to find [[technetium]] are attracting too much attention, furthermore he states there is nothing of value to the Autobots in the desert.

In a leaked screenshot of one of the short story videos, Swindle attempts to access a vault.<ref>http://i.tformers.com/g/generated/26086/tfu-mc-2__scaled_600.jpg</ref>

==Gameplay==

===Game modes===

There were six playable game modes:

* '''[[Elimination]]''' pits Autobots against Decepticons. The first faction to reach 20 kills wins the match.
* '''[[Meteor Storm]]''' (also known as '''King of the hill''') has both sides try to capture Energon meteor landing sites. The first team that gains 1000 points wins.
* '''[[Crisis (Prime)|Crisis]]''' is a player-vs-environment mode where teams fight hordes of [[Terrorcon (Prime)|Terrorcon]]s and gather Energon before fighting a final boss.
* '''[[Dispatch]]''' (also known as '''Incursion''' or '''Free Roam''') is another player-vs-environment where players can partake small missions or mine for energon in the outer base area.
* '''VR Training Simulator''' (also known as '''Battle Simulation''' or '''Training Program''') is an unreleased mode which allows Autobots or Decepticons to train with comrades against holomatter enemies.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6hv5b7T5NU</ref> (This mode was to be included as one of the hangar entrances had been replaced with an entrance to this game mode however due to the game's early closure, it never made into the game itself.)
*'''Recon''' (also known as '''Capture The Flag''' or '''Capture The Intel''') is another unreleased game mode in which Autobots and Decepticons must capture their enemies' "flag" and carry it to their "base". (This mode was also to be included as the keybinding showed keys for dropping the flag and picking it up.)

An additional "Challenge" mode was added were players could prearrange an Elimination match. However no rewards are given (not even experience points) and skill score remains unaffected. The "backfilling" game mechanic is disabled in this mode, and player statistics are not recorded.

===Classes===

There were a variety of classes to chose from. Although many of them could be grouped together (e.g. Mechanist and Medic, Demolisher and Suppressor).
====Known classes====
*Demolisher (previously known as Assassin in closed beta) - Demolishers employ offensive equipment to deal devastating amounts of damage, at the expense of their defenses or utilities.
*Medic - Medics have traded their offensive capabilities in favor of defense and utility, allowing them to fulfill the role of primary healer, and keep themselves alive at the same time.
*Soldier - Soldiers are all-rounders, possessing an even spread of offensive and defensive weapons and equipment.
*Hybrid - Hybrids carry a balance of offensive and defensive systems, and a limited repairing capability. They are most effective when supporting allies.
*Mechanist - Mechanists surrender their offense in favor of strong defenses, their function being to keep themselves alive as they draw enemy fire. A bonus is that they can also repair their allies
*Interceptor (previously known as Demolisher in closed beta) - Interceptors are highly-destructive bots whose weapons and equipment are optimized for offense, making them effective at hit-and-run strategies.
*Suppressor - Suppressors are attack-orientated bots whose S-Techs favor offensive abilities.
*Controller - Controllers specialize in utilities. Their skill with buffs and debuffs is unmatched, using them for a wide variety of positive and negative effects.
*Guardian - Guardians trade in their offense & utilities in order to absorb enemy damage away from their allies.

====Unknown classes====
In the store there are a couple of classes shown in the filter search for warriors. It's unknown what each of the classes did as there were no descriptions in-game.
*Hotfixer (also known as Sentinel)
*Physician

== Notes ==
* Two known builds of Transformers Universe were developed. The "2012" version (which never left closed beta) and the "2014" version which went into Open Beta. The 2012 build used an upgraded version of RuneTek 6<ref>http://www.zybez.net/news/1841/what_we_know_about_transformers_universe/</ref> as their game engine while the 2014 build used Unity as its game engine. Further differences included the 2012 version having a 8v8 mode called "Capture the flag"<ref>http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x14wue0_toasty_videogames</ref> as well as 8v8 Team Death Match.<ref>http://www.dailymotion.com/dm_521dd4cc5c991</ref> Furthermore characters such as Lockbox, Riot, Roadblock and more were never included in the 2014 build. Starter bots for the Autobots in 2012 were Catapult, Meltdown and Frontline (who is now known as Macro) while in the 2014 build starter bots for the Autobots were Overclock, Monsoon and Triage. Many other details about the 2012 build are lost due to the NDA never being dropped.
*[[BotCon 2012]] attendees were able to reserve their in-game name at the convention.
* The game went through a couple of genre shifts. It was initially slated to be released as an MMORPG with multiple classes and conventional character creation, but the [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron (video game)|difficulty of customizing robots]] was cited as part of the reasoning in changing it to the quickly expanding MOBA genre. Right.<ref>
[http://www.edge-online.com/features/jagexs-transformers-universe-is-a-massively-multiplayer-action-rpg-that-puts-the-toy-box-robots-onto-the-battlefield/]</ref> It was then declared to be a massively online, tactical action game by Mark Gerhard, CEO/CTO of Jagex.
* The November 2012 issue of Edge revealed both an early version of [[Firebreaker]] and [[Macro]] with the descriptors "Oppressor" and "Guardian".<ref>[http://www.edge-online.com/magazine/e248-transformers-universe-rolls-out-to-retool-the-action-rpg/]</ref>
* On April 25th, 2014, Founders Packs were revealed, along with founder exclusive bonuses and new characters.<ref>[https://www.transformersuniverse.com/founders-pack Founders Pack - Transformers Universe - Become a Founder]</ref> Each increasingly expensive pack, from Bronze to "[[Cybernite]]", was to grant a three day head start to play the game and various in game bonuses, in addition to season passes of various lengths of time and exclusive warriors. The most expensive at $449.99, the Cybernite pack also offered a limited edition ten inch diorama figurine showcasing Showdown and Shellshock in combat. Yeesh.
* Someone named [[Vectorium]] is quoted on Anomaly's page on the Transformers Universe website, referring to the green toxic youngster's capabilities in shock. Considering the pattern of the other Transformers Universe bios, all of whom quote pre-existing characters of the same faction, Vectorium is likely another Autobot. Meanwhile, Decepticon Diabla's page quotes a previously unknown Aligned continuity version of [[Snow Cat (Prime)|Snow Cat]].
*Between June 6-7th, 2014, five unreleased playable characters (Firebreaker, [[Contagion]], [[Outsider (Prime)|Outsider]], [[Cameo]] and Swagger) were leaked by some TFW2005/TFU forum users who toyed around with the generic link for model images of playable Autobots and Decepticons alike.
*On July 4th, 2014, Transformers Universe reached the Open Beta stage and the NDA was lifted. Additionally, more Bots, such as [[Rollcage]],<ref>[https://cdn.transformersuniverse.com/img/main/bot-pages/unity-fallback/bots/rollcage.png]</ref><ref>[https://cdn.transformersuniverse.com/img/main/bot-pages/unity-fallback/vehicles/rollcage.png]</ref> and others (without names) were leaked.<ref>[https://cdn.transformersuniverse.com/img/main/profile/warriors/large/807403543.png]</ref><ref>[https://cdn.transformersuniverse.com/img/main/profile/warriors/large/807403526.png]</ref>
*A veritable cornucopia of information came out on September 5th. Officially announced on that date were a new challenger system and playable characters Outsider and Pandemic due that month along with updated maps. Flamewar and Chromia were revealed to be coming out in October with a new game mode, Recon.<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/video-games-17/jagex-transformers-universe-game-update-new-modes-and-characters-181101/</ref> In addition, a vast number of character models were found by a dataminer, including early versions of released characters, unrevealed new characters, models with pre-existing character names as placeholders and character models for cast members of Transformers: Prime. New characters included [[Bombast]], [[Clear-Cut]], [[Backlash (Prime)|Backlash]], [[Flood]], [[Stiletto (Prime)|Stiletto]], [[Pitstop]], [[Pandemic]], [[Breakneck (Prime)|Breakneck]], and [[Mayday (Prime)|Mayday]]. Prime cast members [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]], [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]], [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]], and [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] got models, and the in-engine appearance of [[Barricade (WFC)|Barricade]] was confirmed, turning into an SUV. <ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/video-games-17/jagex-transformers-universe-new-characters-including-prime-knock-out-181099/</ref>
*Recon was set to be released with the addition of Flamewar and Chromia on October 2014,<ref>https://www.transformersuniverse.com/en/news/2014/9/evolution-transformers-universe-050914</ref> however in a later developer update, the Transformers Univese team stated "We need to spend more time looking at the balance of the characters and the game mode, as well as continue to polish the relevant features.".<ref>https://www.transformersuniverse.com/en/news/2014/10/developer-update-whats-next-121014</ref> Chromia, Flamewar, Recon and defense (an unannounced gamemode) can still be found in the game files.
*Defense (a gamemode) can be found in the game files which involves the use of a photon cannon.
*On December 16th with the announcement that the game would close at the end of January 2015, still in beta,<ref name="closure"/> Jagex announced that all Founders Pack, relic bundles and starter packs would be refunded. No specific reason has been given as to the reason for the closure.
*Various artists for Transformers Universe have uploaded concept arts as well as models of Transformers Universe characters on Artstation including artworks of Arcee, Onslaught, Perceptor, Adhoc, Bombast, Clearcut, Flamewar, Chromia, Warpath, Bumblebee, and many others.
*Although the set date for the closure was Saturday 31st January at 10AM (GMT), the game servers and the website were still online even after this date and time. However on the 1st of February at 4:30PM (GMT) attempts to access the official website was redirected to the [http://www.hasbro.com/en_GB/brands/transformers/| Transformers section on the official Hasbro website], but the [https://secure.transformersuniverse.com/m=forum_tu/sl=0/forums.ws forums from the TFU website] could still be accessed showing the official site was still online, as well as the [http://cybertron-frankfurt.transformersuniverse.com/webplayerdirect.html|game servers]. The game servers went offline on the 28th of February along with the forums.
*[http://www.wearemi.com/ Makers and Innovators] created several 'comic-like' episodes to promote the game. After Transformers Universe was shut down, they posted 2 of these episodes on their website, but they were shortly taken down. According to MI, they made 10 of these episodes in total<ref>http://tformers.com/transformers-unreleased-promotional-motion-comics-for/26086/news.html</ref>.
*Intel (US chip manufacturer) listed Transformers Universe among the popular playable games that can run on Intel HD 4000<ref>http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-034979.htm</ref>
*Transformers Universe's multiplayer was made possible by muchdifferent's unitypark suite. In fact muchdifferent had Transformers Universe listed on their gameshow case as being in closed beta well into 2015, after it had already both entered open beta and been closed down.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150428060215/http://www.muchdifferent.com/game-technology Archived version of muchdifferent game technology page]</ref>
*Throughout Transformer Universe's lifetime several tournaments and competitions were held to promote the game. In early 2014 beta (during February and March) players who gained the most amount of kills or assists or healing points or most damage taken in one life, were awarded with any free playable warrior of their choice at the time. To celebrate Open Beta a skill score competition was held with double XP and $75,000 prizes.<ref>http://www.pcgamer.com/transformers-universe-free-to-play-moba-goes-into-open-beta-on-july-4/</ref>. At Manchester Comic Con a tournament was held where anyone could sign up a team and compete for the top prize of £5000. At EGX London another Tournament was held where yet again anyone could compete for prizes and founder pack giveaways.<ref>http://games.mxdwn.com/news/egx-london-2014-transformers-universe-showcases-pandemic-and-outsider-released-today/</ref>
*[[Adhoc]], an unreleased character, is the only Transformer with a known working flight-capable alternative mode in the game.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN1IQesvy6E</ref>.

Transformers Collaborative

2026-05-10T02:29:28Z

BluJayWarrior: /* Toyline */ restoring confirmed hot wheels id numbers (from back of packaging)

[[File:Collaborative.jpg|200px|center]] 

'''''Transformers Collaborative''''' is a [[subline imprint|subline]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[franchises|franchise]] that began in [[2019]], intended to incorporate entertainment properties originating outside of the ''Transformers'' brand, not unlike the ''[[Transformers: Crossovers|Crossovers]]'' franchise (2008–2011) before it. However, this line has a much, ''much'' broader scope, with most of the crossovers being with properties not owned or long-term-licensed by Hasbro. This has also led the line to have a very high percentage of original characters.

The first couple of ''Collaborative''... uh, collaborations received tie-in crossover comics during [[IDW Publishing]]'s time with the ''Transformers'' license.

{{quote|Transformers robots have always been—More Than Meets the Eye—but now, through the Transformers Collaborative, fans can experience these larger than life characters as they team-up, mash-up, and meet up with other characters, teams, and people who share this same special quality.|Collaborative marketing blurb}}

==Fiction==
* ''[[Transformers/Ghostbusters]]: Ghosts of Cybertron'' (5-part miniseries)
:: Occurs in IDW's pre-existing ongoing ''Ghostbusters'' universe.
* ''[[Transformers/Back to the Future]]'' (4-part miniseries)

==Toyline==
{{note|Unlike most toy lists on this wiki, these are in chronological order, both in the order the crossovers are presented and and in the column contents. Items in the columns are alphabetized when toys are released simultaneously. There can sometimes be gaps between releases in a single crossover (sometimes years-long!), so if you see a jump in alphabetizing, that's a sign of a gap.}}

==Notes==
* Many of the toys released under the ''Collaborative'' banner had "Project" code-names with varying degrees of bizarreness:
{{collist|3|
::* Ectotron: "Project Mullet"
::* Gigawatt: "Project Future"
::* Maverick: "Project {{w|Tom Cruise|Cruise}}"
::* Ultimate X-Spanse: "Project {{w|Blackbird (comics)|Bird}}"
::* Tyrannocon Rex/JP93: "Project Park"
::* J. Balvintron/Energia Buzzsaw & Vibras Stripes: "Project Jam"
::* Draculus: "Project Bat"
::* Megatron H.I.S.S. Tank: "Project Trooper 1"
::* Bumblebee A.W.E Striker: "Project Trooper 3"
::* Tonkanator: "Project Yellow"
::* Dilophocon/JP12: "Project Island"
::* Soundwave Dreadnok Thunder Machine: "Project Jojo"
::* Code Red: "Project {{w|Eggo|Waffles}}"
::* Frankentron: "Project Francis"
::* Party Wallop: "Project Renaissance"
::* Agent Knight: "Project Knight"
::* Kurama & Gamakichi: "Project Tails"
::* The Mandalorian: "Collab 6"
::* Wingtail & Blue Booster: "Collab Blue"
::* Freakwency & 8-Trax: "Collab Hawk"
::* Breakaway: "Collab Kick"
}}

* As of [[{{CURRENTYEAR}}]], only the second Ectotron, the Ultimate X-Spanse and Gigawatt figures have been released in [[New Zealand]]. Ectotron was available through Toyworld and Mighty Ape, while Gigawatt was only available through Mighty Ape. Ultimate X-Spanse on the other hand had ''almost'' received a full retail release, being sold through The Warehouse, Toyworld and Mighty Ape (three of the five major New Zealand ''Transformers'' toy distributors).

Silverstreak's journey from being an alternate color scheme and name for [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] to a character in his own right was a bumpy one.

Originally, the [[1982]] ''[[Diaclone]]'' Fairlady Z toy that was the basis for Bluestreak was intended to be released in [[1984]]'s ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' in its original silver and blue deco, this color scheme being the basis for the character's name.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Blue Streak must have been blue in the early stages. The painted art on the original toy box shows him as having blue components, even though the toy is grey. So I worked with whatever I was given, even though Hasbro apparently changed color scheme later.|link=https://twitter.com/BobBudiansky/status/1422579495656116227|name=Bob Budiansky|site=Twitter|year=2021|month=08|day=03|(defunct=)}}</ref> For whatever reason, this was changed to an original (non-blue) color scheme later in development, but the ''Diaclone'' deco remained unchanged on the toy's instruction sheet, toy catalogs and packaging art; this led to "Blue Bluestreak" taking on something of a mythical quality to fans, often misremembered as having actually been available in the G1 toyline. The blue deco would be homaged multiple times over the years as an alternate color scheme for Bluestreak, such as in the ''[[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Universe (2003)|Universe]]'', ''[[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#BinaltechBlue|Binaltech]]'' and ''[[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Kre-O]]'' toylines—albeit never on the original Fairlady Z mold. It was also prominently used as Bluestreak's initial appearance in [[IDW Publishing]]'s [[2005 IDW continuity|2005 Generation 1 continuity]], first appearing in 2006's ''[[The Transformers: Stormbringer|Stormbringer]]'' miniseries.

[[File:IDWBluestreakSilverstreak.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8|left|Silverstreak and Bluestreak. Or Bluestreak and Silverstreak. Or Bluesilver and Streakstreak.]]
Between [[2003]] and [[2010]], new [[Hasbro]] toys of Bluestreak were released under the name of "Silverstreak", due to Hasbro having lost the [[trademark]] on the name Bluestreak. As a result, during the 2009-2011 IDW series ''[[The Transformers (IDW)|The Transformers]]'', the character started appearing under this name with no comment—along with switching from the ''Diaclone'' blue deco to his G1 silver deco. This, coupled with an apparently erroneous appearance of "blue Bluestreak" as a [[The Hanging Sword|supporter of Bumblebee]] when he was supposed to have [[Things Fall Apart, Part 1: "New Arrivals, Old Encounters"|left to join up with Hot Rod]]<ref>Apocryphally, supported by comments from IDW editor [[Andy Schmidt]], likely in IDW forum comments which have since vanished with site overhauls.</ref> caused some fans to assume that Bluestreak (the blue one) and Silverstreak (the silver one) were supposed to be separate characters in IDW's universe... until the subsequent [[The Transformers: Ironhide|''Ironhide'' ministeries]] showed flashbacks to the blue character, using the name Silverstreak!

Things got even more confusing in [[2015]] with the release of ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' MP-18B [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#MP18B|Bluestreak]]. Referred to simply as a mysterious robot resembling Streak (Bluestreak's Japanese name), this toy appeared to be making official the idea of the blue deco as its own, separate character... until ''Masterpiece'' [[Spin-Out (G1)|Spinout]]'s bio established that he was in fact the original Streak under the influence of his Diaclone-universe counterpart.

In [[2016]], the blue ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Bluestreak toy was used as a basis for the appearance of the ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' incarnation of [[Bluestreak (SG)|Bluestreak]]. Outside of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]], the original Diaclone blue deco has also been used for the [[Aligned continuity family|Aligned]] incarnation of [[Bluestreak (Prime)|Bluestreak]] in the [[2013]] ''[[Transformers: The Covenant of Primus]]'' novel and his [[2014]] ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Beast Hunters|Beast Hunters]]'' [[Cyberverse (toyline)#Series 3|''Cyberverse'']] toy. [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|Other]] [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 cartoon)|parts]] of the Aligned continuity family depict him in the more typical silver and black deco, however. While not as explicitly based on the original Diaclone deco, the [[Movie continuity family]]'s ''[[Speed Stars]]'' toyline also featured a blue-colored [[Bluestreak (Speed Stars)|Bluestreak]].

Eventually, the 2022 ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' "Autobot Silverstreak" toy was released, combining the "Silverstreak" name with the blue deco for the first time since Hasbro regained the "Bluestreak" trademark. This use of both a separate name and color scheme from Bluestreak, combined with comments from Hasbro designer [[Mark Maher]] about "celebrating" that "every character is unique",<ref>{{citesocial|quote=I have vowed to try and make every character release different then the last, especially for those types of characters that utilize the same mold. I feel like every character is unique and to celebrate that fact, I gave ol Silverstreak here the bumper.|link=https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb3tk0nsQy5/|site=Instagram|name=Mark Maher|year=2022|month=4|day=22}}</ref> seems to ''finally'' indicate that "blue Bluestreak" has finally been given an identity as a separate character—even if it ''is'' one borrowed wholesale from different incarnations of Bluestreak.

==Notes==
[[File:Bluebluestreak.jpg|thumb|right|[[Bluestreak (G1)#Masterpiece toy bios|May or may not hate bugs.]]]]
* You read that correctly: [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] is silver, and Silverstreak is blue. This is notable because it's ''really'' funny.
* Silverstreak, the guy whose deco first appeared in the ''Transformers'' brand on [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Universe (2003)|a Spychanger in 2004]], is also the only ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Datsun whose [[bio]] invokes the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]]. Up to and including [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' Bluestreak]]. This is ''also'' really funny.
* Bluestreak was named after a term for talking a lot, reflective of the character's personality. Conversely, a silver streak can refer to someone being incredibly lucky.

==Adding MSRP to wiki==
Other Links: [[Transformers_Wiki_talk:Community_Portal/Archive72#Documenting_MSRP.3F|Idea Proposal Talk Thread]], [[User:BluJayWarrior/MSRP_Catalog|My MSRP Catalog]]
===Price Sources and Currencies===
Hasbro Pulse is directly MSRP. Major retailers like Amazon, Target, Walmart, etc where the price is usually the same as MSRP. Be wary of smaller sellers who tend to have markups (ex. BigBadToyStore usually has $1 higher than MSRP). Exclusives should prioritize the price where it's meant to be sold.

The Brickset database for Lego lists the Pound, US Dollar, and Euro prices for their sets (ex [https://brickset.com/sets/10302-1/Optimus-Prime Lego Prime] is "RRP £159.99/$179.99/€179.99"). Don't know if we want to go that detailed for TFWiki so '''for simplicity's sake I will start by only adding USD''', if more gets added down the road then so be it. Though not everything comes to US retail, such as the ROTB single packed Deluxes, so a separate currency needs to be used, maybe Euro or Yen?

Speaking of Yen, a lot of Transformers stuff originates from Japan/Takara markets so listing the Yen prices seems appropriate for those even if they get a US MSRP, like Masterpieces and Missing Link. '''As such I will be including JP Prices for such items'''.

===Formats & Variations===
I've made two formats for adding MSRP Prices, '''at current I am leaning more towards using STYLE 1'''

'''"Takara variants"''', most probably aren't worth mentioning for recent releases are identical, but I bring this up because Takara's Earthspark line went back to doing its own classes with better paintjobs. Not sure if that makes it different enough to list the JP Price but testing some formats anyway.

===MSRP Collapsible Template===
created a template for MSRP ([[Template:MSRPtest]]) by copying [[Template:Toydesigner]]. Basically should function like Style 2.

'''Usage Guide''': Considering TFwiki is primarily US-based, US price should be the default and in the first parameter, with prices from other countries/currencies being in the second parameter if known.

Haven't decided where it should go on the totem pole of things under the figure name but for now I put it at the top.

{{-}}

If the item was ''not'' officially released in the US, the primary market goes in the first parameter. This will more than likely be Japanese Yen for Takara exclusives. '''Importer prices''' (such as from [[BigBadToyStore]]) '''should NOT be considered MSRP''' as they did not come from Hasbro/Takara themselves!

'''Reissues''' (particularly when price changes): this can be up for debate but personally I think reissue prices should be in the first parameter alongside the original price. Reissue prices for other currencies should be arranged similarly in the second parameter if known.

Rarer but if an item has some sort of "'''variants'''" with different prices that are kept under the same entry, use a notation similar to reissues, putting the name of the "variant" in parentheses.

{{-}}

Not sure how often this might come up, I've only seen with [[Robosen]] products so far, but '''pre-order discounts''' or similar such low prices should be considered as "sale" prices, not MSRP. Can be mentioned in the text but should NOT be added to the template.

{{-}}

For '''items with price range''', can probably just list the known range of prices like below. Most likely will be used for Generation 1 era stuff, since MSRP wasn't really a thing yet with individual chains and stores setting the price themselves.

Though technically this means it isn't the ''manufacturer's'' price which makes using "MSRP" a bit of a misnomer...

Perhaps the template text could be changed to "Price:" instead of "MSRP:" but I feel it makes it too ambiguous and open to posting any known price.

'''Changes''': added colspan, reduced 3 lines of space. removed extra <nowiki>|</nowiki>, not sure if they're actually needed for the table but they help readability when editing if anything. they're used on most the tables on tfwiki so idk.
*If "<nowiki>|</nowiki>" aren't removed then colspan=3 was needed to clear the right amount of space

'''Changes''': take 2: formatting in cell instead of table shenanigans. Turns out iconlist is incompatible with collist so this was a bust unfortunately. Leaving iconlist out results in <nowiki></li></nowiki> appearing, but adding it causes the list to disappear completely. otherwise it would've been great

'''UPDATE''': using a simple <nowiki><ul></nowiki> instead of <nowiki><ul class="iconlist"></nowiki> will work with collist. It also indents by default so adding : is unnecessary.

:The [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]]-exclusive ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Other outlets|Legacy Wreck 'N Rule Collection]]'' consisted of 5 packs with a total of 7 Wrecker figures. All five boxes could be stacked together to form a collage of the 7 Wreckers around a statue of Xaaron holding a Wreckers hammer. Additionally, each pack had part of a buildable cardboard display of said hammer, the base of which has [[Cybertronian language|Ancient Autobot text]] which reads: "Creator of the Wreckers Resistance - Emirate Xaaron". Both of these honor his history in the [[#Fiction|UK Marvel comics]].

==2023 Walmart Multipacks==
'''Individual page entry template''' 
During the 2023 holiday season, Walmart re-released [[fig 1]] unchanged in original packaging, bundled with wavemate [[fig 2]] in a special 2 for the price of 1 deal. Unlike other two packs, this set was only available online.

===Studio Series===
{{main|Studio Series#Exclusives 6}}
There were further releases in ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' this year, some of which continued the range of NEST-themed redecoes, and none of which were released in waves or regular assortments. Another ''Transformers'' 15th anniversary set, this time for most of the Decepticons, was available on Amazon. Starting on Black Friday, Walmart re-released multiple older ''Studio Series'' Deluxes in two packs the price of one Deluxe for the holiday season. These toys were unchanged in their original boxes, shrink-wrapped together on a cardboard backing with a new pricing barcode.

===Legacy===
{{main|Transformers: Legacy#Walmart}}
: [[Walmart]] had a ''large'' number of exclusives; first came a trio of normal ''Legacy''-packaged Deluxe beast-bots (which were sold as Farmers exclusives in [[New Zealand]]).

: Next came the "'''Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection'''", which focused on characters on the namesake [[Velocitron|planet]] participating in the namesake [[Speedia 500|race]]. The first assortment was revealed on the [[June 23]] 2022 [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fanstream]]. A second assortment of Deluxe Class toys was revealed in early October, without prior announcement.<ref>[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/09/14/transformers-velocitron-speedia-500-deluxe-g2-shadowstrip-crasher-out-in-new-zealand-first-in-hand-images-465277 Transformers Velocitron Speedia 500 Deluxe G2 Shadowstrip & Crasher Out In New Zealand – First In-Hand Images] at TFW2005</ref> Distribution of this second wave of product has been... let's politely call it varied. These toys were [[Kmart]] exclusives in New Zealand.

: In 2023, Walmart re-released all the ''Legacy'' Deluxes from the first year in two-packs for the price of one Deluxe from Black Friday through the holiday season. These toys were unchanged in their original boxes, shrink-wrapped together on a cardboard backing with a new pricing barcode.

'''Gallery tag format''' adaptive to screen changes (third image moves to new line instead of creating margin) but doesn't visually match the thumb format... also size parameters are not adaptive to individual images.

==Adding MSRP to wiki==
Other Links: [[Transformers_Wiki_talk:Community_Portal/Archive72#Documenting_MSRP.3F|Idea Proposal Talk Thread]], [[User:BluJayWarrior/MSRP_Catalog|My MSRP Catalog]]
===Price Sources and Currencies===
Hasbro Pulse is directly MSRP. Major retailers like Amazon, Target, Walmart, etc where the price is usually the same as MSRP. Be wary of smaller sellers who tend to have markups (ex. BigBadToyStore usually has $1 higher than MSRP). Exclusives should prioritize the price where it's meant to be sold.

The Brickset database for Lego lists the Pound, US Dollar, and Euro prices for their sets (ex [https://brickset.com/sets/10302-1/Optimus-Prime Lego Prime] is "RRP £159.99/$179.99/€179.99"). Don't know if we want to go that detailed for TFWiki so '''for simplicity's sake I will start by only adding USD''', if more gets added down the road then so be it. Though not everything comes to US retail, such as the ROTB single packed Deluxes, so a separate currency needs to be used, maybe Euro or Yen?

Speaking of Yen, a lot of Transformers stuff originates from Japan/Takara markets so listing the Yen prices seems appropriate for those even if they get a US MSRP, like Masterpieces and Missing Link. '''As such I will be including JP Prices for such items'''.

===Formats & Variations===
I've made two formats for adding MSRP Prices, '''at current I am leaning more towards using STYLE 1'''
:Testing with [[Bumblebee_(G1)/toys#Studio_Series|SS86 Bumblebee]]

{| style="margin-left:1em;" width="100%"
|width="50%" valign="top"|'''STYLE 1'''
Add price in top parentheses. This is simple and convenient for most toys and does not need an extra line
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, $24.99, [[2024]])}}</ul>
:*''Movie'': '''''The Transformers: The Movie'''''
:*''Hasbro ID number'': '''86-29'''
:*''Accessories'': blaster, "The Depths Of Unicron" backdrop
:text body
|
|width="50%" valign="top"|'''STYLE 2'''
Add price as additional line under toy name. bit wasteful unless there is more info to be added, like additional currencies or price change
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, [[2024]])}}</ul>
:*''MSRP'': $24.99

'''"Takara variants"''', most probably aren't worth mentioning for recent releases are identical, but I bring this up because Takara's Earthspark line went back to doing its own classes with better paintjobs. Not sure if that makes it different enough to list the JP Price but testing some formats anyway. Test being done with [[Thrash (ES)#Toys|Warrior Thrash]] since Takara prices him the same as a Deluxe class in their DX Lineup (yen price taken from takaratomymall.jp)

===MSRP Collapsible Template===
created a template for MSRP ([[Template:MSRPtest]]) by copying [[Template:Toydesigner]]. Basically should function like Style 2.

'''Use''': Considering TFwiki is primarily US-based, US price should be the default and in the first parameter, with prices from other countries/currencies being in the second parameter if known.

:*''Movie'': '''''Dark of the Moon'''''
:*''Accessories'': blaster, "naginata spear"
{{toydesigner|[[Evan Brooks]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:''Studio Series'' Que with current deluxe prices from Habsro Pulse US, UK, EU, and Takara.
{{-}}

If the item was ''not'' officially released in the US, the primary market goes in the first parameter. This will more than likely be Japanese Yen for Takara exclusives. '''Importer prices''' (such as from [[BigBadToyStore]]) '''should NOT be considered MSRP''' as they did not come from Hasbro/Takara themselves!

[[File:TF-Legacy-Takara-Starscream-Super-Mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|We put a picture of the ''Legends'' one here just to see if you'd notice.]]

:*''Accessories'': Energon Sword, Star Saber, [[Fire Blast effect]]s

:Released exclusively at the 40th Anniversary Transformers Expo 2024 and was not imported by Hasbro unlike most other recent Takara exclusives.
{{-}}

'''Reissues''' (particularly when price changes): this can be up for debate but personally I think reissue prices should be in the first parameter alongside the original price. Reissue prices for other currencies should be arranged similarly in the second parameter if known.

[[File:Studio-Series-38-MVBB-Voyager-Optimus-Prime.jpg|thumb|300px|''[[Legislator|Nineteen eighty-four.]]'']]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, [[2019]] / [[2024]])

:*''Movie'': '''''Bumblebee'''''

:'''''Note:''' I made up the extra prices in "more" just for the sake of testing, idk what the actual prices for it were''
{{-}}

Rarer but if an item has some sort of "'''variants'''" with different prices that are kept under the same entry, use a notation similar to reissues, putting the name of the "variant" in parentheses.

Not sure how often this might come up, I've only seen with [[Robosen]] products so far, but '''pre-order discounts''' or similar such low prices should be considered as "sale" prices not MSRP. Can be mentioned in the text but should NOT be added to the template.

==Messing with tables==
experimenting with tables to see how they work/if they can be made to look better

'''Changes''': take 2: formatting in cell instead of table shenanigans. Turns out iconlist is incompatible with collist so this was a bust unfortunately. Leaving iconlist out results in <nowiki></li></nowiki> appearing, but adding it causes the list to disappear completely. otherwise it would've been great

'''UPDATE''': using a simple <nowiki><ul></nowiki> instead of <nowiki><ul class="iconlist"></nowiki> will work with collist. It also indents by default so adding : is unnecessary.

==2023 Walmart Multipacks==
'''Individual page entry template''' 
During the 2023 holiday season, Walmart re-released [[fig 1]] unchanged in original packaging, bundled with wavemate [[fig 2]] in a special 2 for the price of 1 deal. Unlike other two packs, this set was only available online.

===Studio Series===
{{main|Studio Series#Exclusives 6}}
There were further releases in ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' this year, some of which continued the range of NEST-themed redecoes, and none of which were released in waves or regular assortments. Another ''Transformers'' 15th anniversary set, this time for most of the Decepticons, was available on Amazon. Starting on Black Friday, Walmart re-released multiple older ''Studio Series'' Deluxes in two packs the price of one Deluxe for the holiday season. These toys were unchanged in their original boxes, shrink-wrapped together on a cardboard backing with a new pricing barcode.

===Legacy===
{{main|Transformers: Legacy#Walmart}}
: [[Walmart]] had a ''large'' number of exclusives; first came a trio of normal ''Legacy''-packaged Deluxe beast-bots (which were sold as Farmers exclusives in [[New Zealand]]).

: Next came the "'''Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection'''", which focused on characters on the namesake [[Velocitron|planet]] participating in the namesake [[Speedia 500|race]]. The first assortment was revealed on the [[June 23]] 2022 [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fanstream]]. A second assortment of Deluxe Class toys was revealed in early October, without prior announcement.<ref>[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/09/14/transformers-velocitron-speedia-500-deluxe-g2-shadowstrip-crasher-out-in-new-zealand-first-in-hand-images-465277 Transformers Velocitron Speedia 500 Deluxe G2 Shadowstrip & Crasher Out In New Zealand – First In-Hand Images] at TFW2005</ref> Distribution of this second wave of product has been... let's politely call it varied. These toys were [[Kmart]] exclusives in New Zealand.

: In 2023, Walmart re-released all the ''Legacy'' Deluxes from the first year in two-packs for the price of one Deluxe from Black Friday through the holiday season. These toys were unchanged in their original boxes, shrink-wrapped together on a cardboard backing with a new pricing barcode.

Transformers: Generations (toyline)

2026-05-04T01:21:50Z

BluJayWarrior: /* Single Releases */ creating section for Gen toys not part of another toyline

{{disambig3|Generations}}
{{Nav-GensAll}}
[[File:Generations 2015 Toyline logo.png|thumb|upright=0.9|Insignia-like logo used on packaging for late 2014-2025 ''Generations'' toys, in combination with the [[:File:Transformers 2014 logo.png|new generic ''Transformers'' logo]].]]
'''''Transformers: Generations''''' is a branding applied to several collector-oriented toylines. The name was first introduced for a specific line of figures launched in 2010, but as the amount of collector-focused product released by Hasbro has increased over time it has become more of a generic label, used consistently since mid-2012 across multiple different series. ''Generations'' was predated by 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. These toylines all share a focus on celebrating the history of the brand, creating new toys of older ''Transformers'' [[character]]s (usually from [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]], but occasionally later series).

In [[2025]], the ''Generations'' branding was seemingly dropped as part of a brand-wide packaging design refresh for ''Transformers'', with the logo no longer appearing on the boxes and instructions of its associated products. However, "Transformers Generations" continues to be a distinct product category on [[Hasbro Pulse]], which includes the concurrent ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'' line, the ongoing ''[[Studio Series]]'' line, and a miscellany of collector-oriented ''Transformers'' figures.

==Overview==
[[File:ClassicsStarscream toy.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9||''Classics'' Starscream'']]
[[File:Powerglideuniversetoy.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9||''Universe'' Powerglide'']]
Although Hasbro had dabbled with nostalgia-based lines in the past—such as with the likes of the 2003 ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line, ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]''—the back-to-basics approach used by ''Classics'' proved an unexpected hit with fans. Conceived as a short line of homages to bide time before the delayed release of [[Transformers (film)|the first live-action ''Transformers'' film]], ''Classics'' modernized many popular characters, and after the runaway success of the first movie Hasbro followed it up with ''Universe'', expanding its scope to cover characters from the likes of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' for [[Transformers brand|the brand]]'s 25th anniversary. [[TakaraTomy]] released their own version of these lines in the form of ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]''. By the time of ''Generations'', fans widely used the acronym '''"CHUG"''' (''Classics, Henkei!, Universe, Generations'') to refer to these lines as a whole, or as a label for their shared aesthetic—but this acronym quickly stopped being comprehensive as more lines came and went (with various ''Generations'' sublines covering the vast majority of toys released in this design paradigm), and never made it into official use.

[[File:TF2010 deluxe SpecialOpsJazz.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9||''Reveal the Shield'' Special Ops Jazz]]
Between movies, a generic [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'' toyline]] ran to keep movie-style figures on shelves—but particularly with its ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#Hasbro Reveal the Shield subline|Reveal the Shield]]'' [[subline imprint]], which ran concurrently with ''Generations'', Hasbro also used it as an outlet to release even more toys in the ''Generations'' style. Various molds were [[retool|shared]] between the two lines, such as the [[Tracks (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Turbo Tracks]]/[[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Generations|Wheeljack]] and [[Wreck-Gar (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Wreck-Gar]]/[[Junkyard (G1)#Generations|Junkheap]] molds. A third concurrent line, [[Power Core Combiners]], also took inspiration from several Generation 1 characters. Most of the toys from this time were released by Takara in their ''[[Transformers United]]'' and ''[[Transformers United EX|United EX]]'' toylines.

''Generations'' was envisioned as an outlet for toys from Hasbro's burgeoning [[Aligned continuity family|"Aligned"]] continuity family, with several toys of ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' characters being released in the initial lineup, but the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'' cartoon wound up getting [[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|a fully-fledged toyline of its own]]. ''Generations'' was relaunched in mid-2012 to focus solely on the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron (video game)|Fall of Cybertron]]'' sequel game; though Takara had released the first game's toys in ''United'' simply as their [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] selves, they too adopted the ''Generations'' banner for the second game.

For the brand's 30th anniversary, Hasbro again expanded the line's scope with ''[[Thrilling 30]]'', which took [[2005 IDW continuity|IDW Publishing's comic series]] as a principal source of inspiration (even including comics with many of the toys). Much like ''Universe'' before it, the line also drew from a wide range of older franchises for the brand's 30th anniversary, and had releases across the full spectrum of size classes. A couple of waves in, Takara launched ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Transformers Legends]]'' as their equivalent, also releasing redecoes of some of the Voyager toys as part of their ''[[Transformers Cloud]]'' series. Also in 2014, half of the ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]'' was delineated separately from the more gimmick-laden assortments, with the ''Generations'' name appearing on the packaging.

''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' (and its Takara equivalent, ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'') was the first ''Generations'' line to incorporate a fully-fledged [[play pattern]], and since then every line has had some shared [[gimmick]] across the various size classes. For instance, ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' brought back the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] concept, with all toys in the line turning into vehicles or bases for the smaller robots. Beginning with ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', the longstanding practise of Hasbro and Takara releasing their own distinct versions of the toys was axed, with the toys sold being identical on both sides of the world. These three toylines made up the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]''.

By this point, the toy market had changed significantly enough since ''Classics'' that entire mass-retail lines aimed at collectors were a much safer prospect. The ''Premier Edition'' assortments of the ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|The Last Knight]]'' toyline were replaced by ''[[Studio Series]]'', explicitly under the ''Generations'' banner once more, a dedicated line of new screen-accurate toys of characters from across the entire [[live-action film series]]. Series 3-5 of ''[[Tiny Turbo Changers]]'' were similarly given the ''Generations'' logo, co-branded ''Movie Edition'', and the super-deformed collectible series ''[[Alt-Modes]]'' was entirely sold as ''Generations'' product. Meanwhile, the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' (not to be confused with the earlier video game, though its first instalment—''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]''—was similarly set on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]) ushered in an age of unprecedented adherence to the [[character model]]s of the '80s. Many toys with Cybertronian alt-modes were heavily retooled with more typical Earth-based vehicle modes for ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]''. Finally, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' brought back an unprecedented amount of ''Beast Wars'' characters.

To make way for those ''Beast Wars'' characters, and with the well of onscreen characters from the movies mostly tapped, Hasbro once again turned to their movie line as an outlet for more Generation 1 product—with ''Studio Series'' 86 featuring characters from the animated ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Other lines released in this period included the ''[[Transformers Collaborative|Collaborative]]'' series of pop-culture crossover figures, the [[Action Master]]-like ''[[Transformers R.E.D.|Robot Enhanced Design]]'' series, and the ''Titans Return / Legends'' redeco series ''Retro Headmasters''.

In 2022, ''[[Transformers: Legacy]]'' was launched, with the intent of bringing more of the franchise's history into the modern toy market. It features characters from across continuities—G1, ''Beast Wars'', ''Animated'', ''Prime'', and others, all slightly redesigned to fit with the 'Generations' aesthetic. Most toys include their universe of origin in their name, such as "Prime Universe Knock Out" or "Comic Universe Impactor". It also saw the return of combiners for the first time since the ''Prime Wars Trilogy'', starting with Menasor. With each year, ''Legacy'' received a new [[subline imprint]]: ''Legacy: Evolution'' in 2023 and ''Legacy: United'' in 2024.

The release of characters from multiple generations continued in 2025's ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes]]'' which a special theming around the [[Thirteen|Thirteen Primes]].

The mainlines have always been complemented by lines of exclusive redecoes and retools. Beginning with the [[BotCon 2007]] box set, [[Fun Publications]] had often aimed to directly complement Hasbro's releases with their ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Transformers Timelines]]'' exclusives, offering niche characters in a similar style (sometimes based on unrealised ideas from Hasbro) until their loss of the ''Transformers'' license in 2016, the same/only year Fun Publications toys were primarily branded under ''Generations'', specifically ''Combiner Wars''. Meanwhile, Hasbro's "[[#GDO|Global Development Organization]]" released a handful of similar toys in Asian markets, and later began producing budget toys of popular characters via ''[[#Cyber Series (2015–2018)|Cyber Series]]''. In the west, Hasbro released a variety of redecoes for ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' (which in its later years, was folded into ''Generations'') and the generic 2014 ''[[Transformers (2014 toyline)|Transformers]]'' toyline, the latter of which eventually morphed into the ''[[Transformers Authentics|Authentics]]'' budget line. Starting in late 2018, Hasbro's own ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' range took over the ''Timelines'' niche: premium redecoes and retools (usually as more obscure characters) sold in brown cardboard boxes.

In 2025, packaging across the entire ''Transformers'' brand was redesigned to have a more homogenized look. Seemingly as part of this, the use of the ''Generations'' logo was dropped from the packaging of items that typically fell under the ''Generations'' banner, most notably the ongoing ''Studio Series'' line and the just-releasing ''Age of the Primes'' line. However, the [[Hasbro Pulse]] website continues to have a "[https://www.hasbropulse.com/collections/transformers-generations Transformers Generations]" category that includes those two toylines and various other collector-oriented figures that otherwise have no distinct toyline. Notably, most of the new "collector product" have predominantly black-colored boxes, a trend started by the ''Prime Wars Trilogy'', which contrasts with the white-colored boxes of "kid-friendly" lines like ''[[Transformers: Cyberworld (toyline)|Cyberworld]]''. However, this does not guarantee that a collector-themed item will fall under the ''Generations'' category, such as [[Star Eagle]], and may differ between the US, UK, and EU versions of the website, such as with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Transformers (2025)|Icons Optimus Prime]], who was only listed under ''Generations'' on the UK site.

===TakaraTomy lines===
{{main|Transformers: Generations (Japan)}}
[[File:TF-UW07-Bruticus.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9||''Unite Warriors'' Bruticus'']]
In Japan, [[TakaraTomy]] employed a constantly-shifting approach to releasing molds sold under Hasbro's ''Generations'' branding. Their first go was ''[[Transformers United]]'', which sold versions of the toys sold under the original 2010 incarnation of ''Generations'', along with ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#Hasbro Reveal the Shield subline|Reveal the Shield]]'' molds. All toys, regardless of provenance, were identified as traditional Generation 1 characters. For whatever reason, TakaraTomy decided to end ''United'', using ''[[Power Core Combiners]]'' molds to fill the gap (as "''United EX''") till their newer line, '''''[[Transformers: Generations (Japan)|Transformers: Generations]]'''''. This line took on the branding and visual elements used by Hasbro, selling the ''Fall of Cybertron'' subline and the first half of ''Thrilling 30''. This toyline would also see a short life, only lasting a bit longer than a year before being replaced by ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'', which cemented its own identity by also releasing [[Transformers Legends (comic)|regular accompanying fiction]] (both online and packed in with toys) that was generally set in [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity]]. It would also feature many unique figures that had no Hasbro counterpart. Once ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' came around, TakaraTomy started a new line, ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'', to collect all of the traditional combiner characters while putting their own twists on the "newer" combiners. ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' did not receive the same treatment, instead being covered wholesale by ''Legends''. Throughout ''Legends'' and ''Unite Warriors'', molds that did not fit TakaraTomy's paradigm for those lines were shunted to ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Adventure Series|Adventure]]'', the Japanese counterpart to the 2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' toyline.

''Legends'' continued till ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', which heralded a new era of marketing alignment between Hasbro and TakaraTomy where they would sell mostly the same Hasbro-initiated product. This is the situation ever since, with TakaraTomy only eking out a few figures of their own, such as a small series of ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' figures and the ''[[Transformers Premium Finish|Premium Finish]]'' line—all sold through the [[TakaraTomy Mall]] online store. However, thanks to the marketing alignment, those products are also sold by Hasbro via their [[Hasbro Pulse]] website, allowing Western customers equal access to TakaraTomy product.

The initial '''''Transformers: 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)#Generations|Drift]] toy and its [[Blurr (G1)#Generations|Blurr]] [[retool]] were based directly on designs created by [[Guido Guidi]] for [[2005 IDW continuity|IDW's comic series]]. The earlier waves of figures sported advertising for [[Hub Network|The Hub]] or ''War for Cybertron''.

[[File:GenerationsAsianDeluxes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|''Top'': Asian market Deluxe packaging ''Bottom'': North American Toys"R"Us packaging]]
In mid-[[2012]], Hasbro's Asian division released a variety of [[redeco]]es 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]] [[exclusive]]s 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]].

{{Note|The Leader Class figures were only released in ''Generations'' packaging in Hasbro's Asian markets.

After a six-month hiatus, the ''Generations'' line was relaunched in mid-2012, starting out with the '''''Transformers Generations: Fall of Cybertron''''' toyline with eight Deluxe Class figures, in a line made specifically for characters from the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron (video game)|Fall of Cybertron]]'' video game. The line continued into 2013, with Legends and Voyager Class figures being introduced too. Unlike the previous [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], now absorbed into ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|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.

In mid-2013, ''Generations'' was rebranded as '''''Transformers Generations: Thrilling 30''''' as 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 for the US market,<ref name="region">Australia, New Zealand, and Hasbro's Asian markets typically get toys in whatever format is also used for the United States. The markets that traditionally get multilingual packaging are Canada, Latin America, and Europe, which meant no comic books for ''Thrilling 30'' and ''Combiner Wars''. See the images to the right for a comparison.</ref> 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)/toys#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.

In Europe, only the first wave of the Legends and Deluxe price points was ever officially released, exclusive to Toys"R"Us. However, several UK retailers were later used as a dumping ground for ''all'' the Voyagers, Leader Jetfire, and the last two waves of the Legends as [[parallel import]]s in US (Voyagers and Leader Jetfire) or Canadian/Latin American (Legends) packaging.

==Movie lines (2014–)==
In [[2014]], Hasbro began labeling certain [[live-action film series]] lines with the ''Generations'' banner.

===''Age of Extinction'' (2014)===
{{Nav-aoe}}
[[File:HoundPackaging.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Voyager Class Autobot Hound]]
After the many years of rather complex figures in the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|movie]] [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|toylines]] and realizing that the toys were becoming too complicated for the audiences they were aimed at, Hasbro decided to split the toyline that accompanied the fourth installment in the [[live-action film series]] franchise, '''''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Transformers: Age of Extinction]]''''', into two different age-appropriate lines. The first was the "''Robots in Disguise''" line which focused on more child-friendly designs, with gimmicks centred around pulling a lever or flicking a switch; activating an automated transformation in one or two simple steps.

The other half was labelled "''Generations''", which the figures were made to similar design standards of the preceding movie toylines, and were designed for a slightly older demographic, much like the previous lines under the ''Generations'' banner above. Releasing around the same time as [[2015]]'s ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' cartoon, the ''Generations'' lineup was simplified in the way the "Warrior Class" figures were made, using bright colors and minimal transformation steps, in keeping with a simplistic approach for any age to enjoy.

Following on from the approach taken with the ''Age of Extinction'' toyline, ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|Transformers: The Last Knight]]'' was also split into two separate age-appropriate lines. The more simplified of the two lines became the "''Turbo Changers''" and consisted of many of the same styled toys as the ''Robots in Disguise'' line above. The second, "''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)#Premier Edition|Premier Edition]]''" line, while not labelled under the ''Generations'' banner, was still aimed at an older demographic and followed the same principles that the ''Age of Extinction'' ''Generations'' line had set before it, even including many redecoes of molds sold in the previous line.

===''Movie Edition'' (2018–2019)===

'''{{main|Tiny Turbo Changers#Movie Edition}}'''
Originally begun as part of the toyline for ''The Last Knight'' in 2017, '''''[[Tiny Turbo Changers]]''''' is a line of [[super deformed]], [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] vinyl figures featuring characters from throughout the entire [[live-action film series]]. The line continued into 2018 under the more general '''''Movie Edition''''' label and co-branded with ''Generations'' starting with Series 3. The subline ran for two more series into 2019.
{{--}}

===''Studio Series'' (2018–)===
{{nav-studio}}
[[File:Studio-Series-Voyager-Long-Haul-Box.jpg|thumb|42 ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Voyager Class Long Haul]]
First revealed at [[Toy Fair]] [[Toy Fair 2018|2018]], '''''Transformers Generations: Studio Series''''' is a new subline underneath the ''Generations'' banner that acts as a celebration of over ten years of live-action movies, with characters from every movie represented, variants included. It also coincided with ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', the sixth film in the [[live-action film series]], becoming the home for collector-oriented toys from that film and subsequent theatrical movies. Over time, the scope of the ''Studio Series'' toyline would expand to include characters from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', video games, and comic books.

Initially, all figures had an assigned ID number and came with a cardboard backdrop depicting a notable scene from their respective media appearance. Backdrops from separate figures representing the same scene are designed to be displayed side by side. With rough robot mode [[scale]] as a line-wide goal, each figure is sized in relation to other toys, even in the same [[size class]].

In [[2025]], ''Studio Series'' packaging was redesigned, dropping the ID numbers and backdrops that originally defined the line. Alongside the concurrent ''Age of the Primes'' toyline, ''Studio Series'' would drop the ''Generations'' branding as part of the redesign, though it continues to be categorized as such on [[Hasbro Pulse]].

===Exclusives===
In 2018, Hasbro released a single exclusive figure for Chinese company JingDong, which was only available on their online shop. Despite being released at the time of ''Studio Series'', the toy features a generic ''Generations'' logo and is packaged in a box with branding similar to ''Cyber Series'' figures which were also initially exclusive to China.

==''Prime Wars Trilogy'' (2015–2018)==
{{nav-pwt}}
''Generations'' was rebooted in 2015, acting more as branding than a specific toyline, starting with Hasbro's '''''Transformers: Prime Wars Trilogy'''''. As the name implies, it consists of three sublines, each with its own theme, [[gimmick]] and [[play pattern]].

===''Combiner Wars'' (2015–2016)===
{{anchor|Combiner Wars}}
{{nav-CombinerWars}}
[[File:CW Swindle pk US CALA EU.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Like most Deluxe Class figures, Swindle was available with a comic book in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, and Asia (left), and with a character card in Canada and Latin America (center) as well as Europe (right).]]
For 2015, the line was given another [[subline imprint]] titled '''''Transformers Generations: 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 tradition of including IDW comic books with U.S.<ref name="region"/> Deluxes continued, whilst Legends, Voyagers, Leaders, and non-U.S.<ref name="region" /> Deluxes gained collector cards featuring art taken either from the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game, or simply the toy's [[package art]] (which doubles as the comic book cover for the U.S.<ref name="region" /> version). 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 U.S.<ref name="region" /> 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<ref name="region" /> market, now in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. The sole exception to this was the Deluxe figures packaged with comic books, which retained English-only packaging.

Meanwhile, ''Combiner Wars'' marked the end of the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusivity for ''Generations'' figures that had been in effect in several European markets since the launch of the original line in 2010 (which had usually resulted in only one wave per assortment ever being released in Europe). Not only did availability and distribution improve tremendously across the board—the ''Combiner Wars'' figures were even released in European markets where ''Generations'' figures had previously never been available at all! At the same time, European packaging reduced the number of languages from thirteen to a mere four (English, French, German, and Spanish), resulting in a less cluttered packaging design.

After the general retail assortments had run their course, the line was extended for several months via [[giftset]]s of complete teams featuring redecoes and retools, referred to as "Collection Packs" in official promotional materials. Those sets were typically "shared exclusives" between online retailers and the online storefronts of "big box" retailers, though they were also available at brick and mortar retail in several non-U.S. markets.

{{--}}{{anchor|Titans Return}}
===''Titans Return'' (2016–2017)===
{{nav-TitansReturn}}
[[File:TR Chromedome pk USCALA EU.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|''Titans Return'' Deluxe figures came with a character card in all markets. "US/worldwide" packaging on left, European packaging on right.]]
Mid-2016 introduced a new subline imprint, '''''Transformers Generations: Titans Return''''' (initially touted under the early working name ''Titan Wars''<ref name="titanwars">Which is ''obviously'' used by many European retailers in official advertising, with annoying persistence.</ref>), with its own new line-wide gimmick: all Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader Class figures include a [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]-style [[Titan Master]] partner, all of which are completely interchangeable. To compensate for the size differences, Leader class figures feature large helmets that cover the Titan Masters, while Voyager class figures have spring-loaded pop-out adornments to "bulk up" their heads. Each Deluxe and Voyager figure's hand-held weapons can transform and combine to form a "turret" that can be manned by any Titan Master, and which can attach to the base modes of the Leader Class figures.

Additionally, a new Titan Master assortment was introduced, each including a single Titan Master, plus a small vehicle or beast. These can transform into a vehicle/beast for the Titan Master to ride, a second vehicle/beast formed by ''combining'' with the Titan Master, and a [[5 mm post|5mm]] weapon for a larger figure to wield. Legends Class figures started out as predominantly [[Mini-Cassette]] characters, which can transform into both a vehicle and a blocky PDA that can fit inside Leader Class figures such as [[Blaster (G1)/toys#TitansReturn|Blaster]]. Starting with Wave 3, this changed into focusing on [[Mini-Vehicle]]s which can often carry Titan Master passengers.

Though never officially addressed by Hasbro, Deluxes no longer included comic books in any market, thus eliminating the need for English-only packaging entirely, leaving only two types of multilingual packaging, one for Europe and the other for all non-European markets. However, the character cards included with all figures (except for Titan Masters) now featured [[Tech Spec]] stats on their back.

Voting for the second Titan Class figure was conducted via Facebook, with fans choosing between a remake of [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Generations|Trypticon]], or [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]].<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/926169094119952/?type=3&permPage=1 November 24 2016 photo]</ref> Trypticon won.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/931380200265508/?type=3 "There truly is nothing that can stand in the way of Trypticon.

{{nav-PowerOfThePrimes}}
[[File:POTP Jazz pk USCALA EU.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe figures still came with a character card in all markets, each of them containing one of twelve possible combinations between the character and a Prime Master. "US/worldwide" packaging on left, European packaging on right.]]
First revealed in mid-[[2017]] at [[San Diego Comic-Con]], '''''Transformers Generations: Power of the Primes''''', in keeping with the previous two toylines, features a line-wide [[gimmick]]: "[[Prime Master]]s", small [[Titan Master]]-type figures that represent the sparks of the [[Thirteen|Primes]]. Unlike Titan Masters, Prime Masters are available only in their own pricepoint, where they are packaged with [[Pretender]]-style [[Prime Master|Decoy Armor]], but can interact in some way with all larger assortments.

Legends Class figures retain the ability to seat a small figure in alt-mode, whilst the Deluxe and Voyager Class pricepoints see the return of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style [[Combiner]]s. The combination joints remain unchanged, whilst the hand/foot system is tweaked: all Deluxes now include a hand, and all Voyagers a pair of feet. These accessories also facilitate the Prime Master integration for those size classes: Deluxes can use their hand as chest armor, into which a Prime Master spark mode can slot, and Voyagers can use their feet as forearm bucklers, which similarly fit a Prime Master. All Voyager Class figures also include an [[Enigma of Combination]], shaped like a Prime Master spark mode, that can fit onto their combined mode chest.

Finally, Leader Class figures feature an "Evolution" gimmick, wherein each toy includes a Deluxe-sized character who can "evolve" into a Prime by combining with additional armor. Each Leader includes a uniquely-colored [[Matrix of Leadership]], the central crystal of which can be removed and replaced with a Prime Master.

Similar to ''Combiner Wars'' (except for US-released Deluxe Class figures) and ''Titans Return'', all figures from Legends Class upwards continued to include character cards, except this time there were twelve different [[variant]]s of every character's card, each containing a [[Prime Master/Combinations|combination]] with one of the twelve Prime Masters.

Ahead of the line's release, a fan vote took place to determine a character who would become a new Prime in both the toyline and accompanying stories, with [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] claiming victory, and a place in the Leader Class assortment.<ref>[http://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/pb.146805978722938.-2207520000.1487463781./1362620857141438/?type=3&theater Optimus Primal's victory]</ref>

==''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' (2019–2022)==
{{nav-wfct}}
[[File:WFC-Netflix-Nemesis-Prime.jpg|thumb|Nemesis Prime / Fangtron / Giza Spoiler Pack]]
Beginning in 2019 (though released in late [[2018]] for the holiday season), the '''''War for Cybertron Trilogy''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations War for Cybertron''''') follows the pattern of the ''Prime Wars Trilogy'', having three sub-imprints over a multi-year release schedule. The new branding is unrelated to the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|2010 ''Transformers: War for Cybertron'']] video game from [[High Moon Studios]], though both similarly cover the early pre-Earth era of the [[Great War (G1)|Autobot-Decepticon war]]. In February 2018, Hasbro launched a [[Fan polls|fan vote]] for a thematic rivalry to be seen as Deluxe Class figures. The choices were [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]] VS [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]] VS [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]], and [[Spinister (G1)|Spinister]] VS [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]. Impactor and Mirage won, but Spinister was produced regardless, with Wheeljack being made in the next chapter of the trilogy, and Tracks in the final.

The ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' subline was unveiled by Hasbro at [[Toy Fair 2020]], and launched in conjunction with the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon]] on [[Netflix]]. With the cartoon featuring [[character model]]s based directly on Hasbro's toy molds, the toyline, in turn, features animation-accurate weathering and extensive deco, though they are often far more battle-damaged than the on-screen model.

The ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' label was also used for toy releases that did not fall into a certain chapter, namely the 2020 ''Selects'' product, the crowd-funded [[Unicron/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Unicron]] and the ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' releases.

'''''Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Siege''''' brought toy engineering to the extreme with relative scale, detail, extra posability, and ''extreme'' show-accuracy, but with Cybertronian alternate modes. Many of the line's entries feature battle damage paint and combinable weapons, with some Deluxe Class "Weaponizer" figures capable of splitting into additional armament. The figures are littered with [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] and 3 mm posts, allowing for unlimited craziness.

Falling on the ''Transformers'' franchise's 35h anniversary, ''Siege'' featured the '''''35th Anniversary''''' subline imprint.

'''''Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Earthrise''''' continues the C.O.M.B.A.T. System and the new [[A.I.R. Lock System]], which focuses more on fortification construction than weaponry. As the name implies, many of the 80's ''The Transformers'' characters are given Earth vehicle modes. A.I.R. Lock System Deluxe Modulators, along with the [[Quintesson]] and [[Mercenary]] factions, were introduced.

''Earthrise'' featured the '''''Cybertronian Villains''''' (from 2018's ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'') and '''''Galactic Odyssey Collection''''' subline imprints.

The third and final installment, '''''Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Kingdom''''' falls on the 25th anniversary of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' and the 35th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', seeing heavy influence from both. The chapter sees the addition of the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s, as well as the Core Class replacing the Battle Masters and Micromasters. Silently continuing the C.O.M.B.A.T. System and A.I.R. Lock System, the primary gimmick is the [[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology]], and the accompany Deluxe Fossilizers. Both classic '90s ''Beast Wars'' and '80s ''The Transformers'' characters are redone with cartoon-accurate engineering and in relative scale amongst their respective series. The toyline also surprisingly stems to ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Machines]], [[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers#Beast Wars II|Beast Wars II]]'', and ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' characters in its exclusives.

''Kingdom'' featured the '''''Battle Across Time Collection''''' and '''''Golden Disk Collection''''' subline imprints.

==''Legacy'' (2022–2025)==
{{nav-Legacy}}
[[File:TFLegacyBulkheadPackagingFront.jpg|thumb|''Legacy'' Prime Universe Bulkhead]]
Beginning after the conclusion of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline, '''''Transformers Generations: Legacy''''' (aka '''''Transformers: Legacy''''') features characters from across the wealth of different ''Transformers'' [[continuity|continuities]], making it a celebration of the entire ''Transformers'' series, as opposed to the predominantly-"[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Overview|Generation 1]]" oriented character selection of the ''Generations'' line for the past 6 years.

In its first year, the central [[play pattern]] for this line is the reintroduction of the [[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon weaponry]] from 2004's ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' toyline; translucent plastic accessories which can be combined to form bigger, more elaborate weapons. However, this was quietly dropped for the third wave and Core Class figures beyond the second wave.

Renamed '''''Legacy: Evolution''''' for its second year, the line pulled from a wider range of franchises, and replaced the Energon infused weaponry with "Evo-Fusion", a gimmick that allows figures (sans Core Class) to mix and match their weapons and accessories via 5mm ports, much like the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline that preceded it. In addition, it brought in a new group of [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] who function identically to ''War For Cybertron'' 's Weaponizers, except that they are capable of transforming ''without'' [[Partformer|partsforming]]. So... primarily a refinement of what they were already doing, but hey, they're doing it more and better.

For its third year, under the moniker of '''''Legacy: United''''', it refined the formula even more, expanding into more franchises and replacing the Junkions with [[Armorizer|Armorizers]]: modern [[Rock Lord]]-eqsue characters who can either weaponize figures or transform into weapons as a third mode, much like the pack-in partners for the ''Thrilling 30'' assortments' Legends Class figures shown above.

The ''Legacy'' toyline also reintroduced [[combiner]] teams, beginning with the [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]], a first since the ending of the ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' line. It also introduced the first Core Class Combiner, <s>[[Dinoking]]</s> [[Volcanicus (POTP)#Legacy|Volcanicus]].

==''Age of the Primes'' (2025-)==
{{nav-AOTP}}
[[File:AOTP_The_Thirteen_Megatronus_The_Fallen_Box.jpg|thumb|The Thirteen Megatronus The Fallen]]
Beginning after the conclusion of the ''Legacy: United'' toyline, '''''Transformers: Age of the Primes''''' continues the multi-continuity setup from ''Legacy'', with the centerpieces being the [[Thirteen]] Primes (each Prime including their respective artifact).

Like ''Legacy'', ''Age of the Primes'' features combiner teams, with the first year having the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] and the second year having the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]].

''Age of the Primes'' is the first new toyline to drop the ''Generations'' branding from its packaging, though it is still categorized as part of ''Generations'' on [[Hasbro Pulse]].

===''Cyber Series'' (2015–2018)===
{{anchor|PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian}}{{anchor|CS}}
Three years after a large batch of redecoes 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]] ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#BH|Beast Hunters]]'' Deluxe and Voyager Class figures, most of these figures were based on smaller figures from the ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#RTS|Reveal the Shield]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Transformers: Prime]]'' ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Legion Class, ''Thrilling 30'' Legends Class, and [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'']] Legion Class ranges, with the designs upsized to roughly Voyager ("Battalion") and Leader ("Commander") height, keeping the transformation engineering mostly unchanged. These figures were released in Hasbro's Asian and Latin American markets in 2015, while a second wave was released two years later in 2017 to the original markets and exclusively to [[Walgreens]] in North America, followed by a third wave of the Battalion assortment in 2018. The second wave Commander Optimus Prime and Commander Bumblebee figures were also continuously released from 2018 throughout 2020 in North American markets via [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]]. Battalion Grimlock, Megatron, and original deco Commander Optimus Prime were never released to North America.

Most Cyber Battalion toys were reissued in 2021, with Wave 2 and 3 exclusive to Hasbro Pulse, and Wave 1 (except Grimlock) repackaged in two "Heroes & Villians" 2-packs exclusive to Amazon in North America. However it was still common to find examples of much unsold stock still at Walgreens in North America as late as 2023.

'''''Transformers: Platinum Edition''''' is a collector-oriented toyline that began in [[2013]]. It is composed entirely of [[retool]]s and [[redeco]]es of existing molds, which are presented in premium packaging. In 2015, it got absorbed into the ''Generations'' toyline and in the process dropped its own unique packaging designs as well as its own logo in favor of the uniform ''Prime Wars Trilogy'' packaging design, reducing the title "Platinum Edition" to a small line in neutral text above the toys' names.

'''{{main|The Transformers: Masterpiece#Hasbro}}'''
In 2015, Hasbro's '''''The Transformers: Masterpiece''''' line got partially absorbed into the ''Generations'' toyline as well. These are very expensive and detailed molds aimed at adult collectors, similar to the "CHUG" standard set by the ''Generations'' line. The line had been running since 2004, but was rebooted in 2011 to what it is today. These are released under Hasbro's packaging.

In 2016, a redeco of ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece]]'' MP-10 Convoy was redecoed in ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' colors, and was also made for Hasbro's Asian markets. That latter figure is essentially a ''Platinum Edition'' figure in all but its name, using the exact same packaging design and layout of then-concurrent ''Platinum Edition'' packaging except the actual "''Platinum Edition''" title was replaced by "''Shattered Glass''".

'''{{main|Generations_Selects_(toyline)#Hasbro}}'''
Announced in late 2018, '''''''Transformers: Generations Selects''''''' is a line of exclusives sold entirely online in the US, and through various brick and mortar retailers in other countries, intersecting multiple thematic sublines of ''Generations.'' The line consists of "special edition" redecoes and retools of ''Generations'' figures, packaged in brown cardboard mailer boxes with no mark up. Initially comprising toys initiated by Hasbro, the line-up also included figures initiated by TakaraTomy from 2019 to 2020.

Hasbro-initiated figures are packaged in robot mode, while Takara-initiated figures are packaged in vehicle mode, much like most of their recent products.

Most TakaraTomy material unfortunately includes the morphological error in English of "'''''Generation''''' Selects''".

'''''Transformers Collaborative''''' is an online retailer exclusive subline that began in [[2019]], intended to incorporate properties originating outside of the ''Transformers'' brand, not unlike the ''[[Transformers: Crossovers|Crossovers]]'' franchise (2008–2011) before it. ''Unlike'' its predecessor, ''Collaborative'' sometimes includes comprehensive fiction associated with the crossover event, likely to flesh out the wholly new characters created.

'''''Transformers R.E.D.

It is intended to be a counterpart to Hasbro's other 6-inch action figure lines, including ''[[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] Legends'', ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]: Black Series'', and ''Power Rangers: Lightning Collection''. Aesthetically, the line focuses on [[show-accuracy]] in its sculpts. Figures in the line also include extra hands and accessories for display options.

The toys are packaged in nostalgic G1-style packaging (much like the ''Collaborative'' figures or ''[[Vintage|Vintage G1]]''), but with the original G1 [[package art]] modified to more closely resemble the ''Legends'' toy heads.

This series is a Walmart-exclusive in the U.S. and Canada, The Warehouse and Toyworld-exclusive in New Zealand, and Target-exclusive in Australia.

Following the unprecedented release of the [[Optimus Prime (SG)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Shattered Glass Optimus Prime]] and [[Ratchet (SG)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Shattered Glass Ratchet]] two-pack in Hasbro's ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)#Hasbro|Generations Selects]]'' 2020 toyline, the [[April 9]]th [[Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest 2021]] unveiled the '''''Transformers Generations: Shattered Glass Collection''''' subline, containing more characters from the long-dormant ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' continuity. After the online convention, the other four toys (which were given Sideswipe silhouettes) were slowly revealed on Transformers Tuesdays from April to July 2021.

Much like ''Generations Selects'', the ''Shattered Glass Collection'' is composed of ''Generations'' redecoes and retools. Costing more than the MSRP of other Deluxe and Voyager Class toys, each figure is accompanied by an issue, with an exclusive UV cover, of [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (IDW)|Shattered Glass]]'' mini-series. The toys are packaged in uniquely shaped boxes with character art and brief [[bio]]s. The boxes only say "Shattered Glass", with "Shattered Glass Collection" coming from listings and product descriptions. The toyline is exclusive to [[Hasbro Pulse]] in the United States and United Kingdom.

Almost as much of a draw is the packaging: each box front features a classic comic cover curated by [[Hasbro]] packaging designer [[Amy Bence]] while the sides form an all new interconnecting Marvel-style mural by long-time ''Transformers'' artist [[Marcelo Matere]].

A number of toys have been released with ''Generations'' branding but not under any specific toyline or collection. These are typically exclusives.

With the removal of the ''Generations'' logo from packaging in 2025, these get harder to identify, with the main source for this information now being whether or not the toy is included in the "[https://www.hasbropulse.com/collections/transformers-generations Transformers Generations]" category of Hasbro Pulse.

==Notes==
*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).
*With the launch of the ''Generations'' line in 2010, the plastic-coated wire twist-ties that had been used to secure a toy in its packaging in past toylines were replaced with rattan tie-downs. The paper-based tie-downs were also used in the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] toy line and subsequent toy lines, until they themselves were replaced by tag pins near the middle of 2014. The tyranny of twist-ties has mercifully never sullied these toys.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Transformers Generations''' (トランスフォーマージェネレーションズ ''Toransufōmā Jenerēshonzu'')
*''Mandarin'': '''Biànxíng Jīngāng Shìdài Xìliè''' (Taiwan, 變形金剛世代系列, "Transformers Generation Series")

Transformers: Generations (toyline)

BluJayWarrior: noting how generations branding has been largely dropped since 2025

{{disambig3|Generations}}
{{Nav-GensAll}}
[[File:Generations 2015 Toyline logo.png|thumb|upright=0.9|Insignia-like logo used on packaging for late 2014-2025 ''Generations'' toys, in combination with the [[:File:Transformers 2014 logo.png|new generic ''Transformers'' logo]].]]
'''''Transformers: Generations''''' is a branding applied to several collector-oriented toylines. The name was first introduced for a specific line of figures launched in 2010, but as the amount of collector-focused product released by Hasbro has increased over time it has become more of a generic label, used consistently since mid-2012 across multiple different series. ''Generations'' was predated by 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. These toylines all share a focus on celebrating the history of the brand, creating new toys of older ''Transformers'' [[character]]s (usually from [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]], but occasionally later series).

In [[2025]], the ''Generations'' branding was seemingly dropped as part of a brand-wide packaging design refresh for ''Transformers'', with the logo no longer appearing on the boxes and instructions of its associated products. However, "Transformers Generations" continues to be a distinct product category on [[Hasbro Pulse]], which includes the concurrent ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'' line, the ongoing ''[[Studio Series]]'' line, and a miscellany of collector-oriented ''Transformers'' figures.

==Overview==
[[File:ClassicsStarscream toy.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9||''Classics'' Starscream'']]
[[File:Powerglideuniversetoy.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9||''Universe'' Powerglide'']]
Although Hasbro had dabbled with nostalgia-based lines in the past—such as with the likes of the 2003 ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line, ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]''—the back-to-basics approach used by ''Classics'' proved an unexpected hit with fans. Conceived as a short line of homages to bide time before the delayed release of [[Transformers (film)|the first live-action ''Transformers'' film]], ''Classics'' modernized many popular characters, and after the runaway success of the first movie Hasbro followed it up with ''Universe'', expanding its scope to cover characters from the likes of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' for [[Transformers brand|the brand]]'s 25th anniversary. [[TakaraTomy]] released their own version of these lines in the form of ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]''. By the time of ''Generations'', fans widely used the acronym '''"CHUG"''' (''Classics, Henkei!, Universe, Generations'') to refer to these lines as a whole, or as a label for their shared aesthetic—but this acronym quickly stopped being comprehensive as more lines came and went (with various ''Generations'' sublines covering the vast majority of toys released in this design paradigm), and never made it into official use.

[[File:TF2010 deluxe SpecialOpsJazz.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9||''Reveal the Shield'' Special Ops Jazz]]
Between movies, a generic [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'' toyline]] ran to keep movie-style figures on shelves—but particularly with its ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#Hasbro Reveal the Shield subline|Reveal the Shield]]'' [[subline imprint]], which ran concurrently with ''Generations'', Hasbro also used it as an outlet to release even more toys in the ''Generations'' style. Various molds were [[retool|shared]] between the two lines, such as the [[Tracks (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Turbo Tracks]]/[[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Generations|Wheeljack]] and [[Wreck-Gar (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Wreck-Gar]]/[[Junkyard (G1)#Generations|Junkheap]] molds. A third concurrent line, [[Power Core Combiners]], also took inspiration from several Generation 1 characters. Most of the toys from this time were released by Takara in their ''[[Transformers United]]'' and ''[[Transformers United EX|United EX]]'' toylines.

''Generations'' was envisioned as an outlet for toys from Hasbro's burgeoning [[Aligned continuity family|"Aligned"]] continuity family, with several toys of ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' characters being released in the initial lineup, but the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'' cartoon wound up getting [[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|a fully-fledged toyline of its own]]. ''Generations'' was relaunched in mid-2012 to focus solely on the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron (video game)|Fall of Cybertron]]'' sequel game; though Takara had released the first game's toys in ''United'' simply as their [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] selves, they too adopted the ''Generations'' banner for the second game.

For the brand's 30th anniversary, Hasbro again expanded the line's scope with ''[[Thrilling 30]]'', which took [[2005 IDW continuity|IDW Publishing's comic series]] as a principal source of inspiration (even including comics with many of the toys). Much like ''Universe'' before it, the line also drew from a wide range of older franchises for the brand's 30th anniversary, and had releases across the full spectrum of size classes. A couple of waves in, Takara launched ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Transformers Legends]]'' as their equivalent, also releasing redecoes of some of the Voyager toys as part of their ''[[Transformers Cloud]]'' series. Also in 2014, half of the ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]'' was delineated separately from the more gimmick-laden assortments, with the ''Generations'' name appearing on the packaging.

[[File:CombinerWarstoy-Ruckus.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9||''Timelines'' [[Ruckus (G1)#Timelines|Grabuge]]]]
''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' (and its Takara equivalent, ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'') was the first ''Generations'' line to incorporate a fully-fledged [[play pattern]], and since then every line has had some shared [[gimmick]] across the various size classes. For instance, ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' brought back the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] concept, with all toys in the line turning into vehicles or bases for the smaller robots. Beginning with ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', the longstanding practise of Hasbro and Takara releasing their own distinct versions of the toys was axed, with the toys sold being identical on both sides of the world. These three toylines made up the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]''.

By this point, the toy market had changed significantly enough since ''Classics'' that entire mass-retail lines aimed at collectors were a much safer prospect. The ''Premier Edition'' assortments of the ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|The Last Knight]]'' toyline were replaced by ''[[Studio Series]]'', explicitly under the ''Generations'' banner once more, a dedicated line of new screen-accurate toys of characters from across the entire [[live-action film series]]. Series 3-5 of ''[[Tiny Turbo Changers]]'' were similarly given the ''Generations'' logo, co-branded ''Movie Edition'', and the super-deformed collectible series ''[[Alt-Modes]]'' was entirely sold as ''Generations'' product. Meanwhile, the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' (not to be confused with the earlier video game, though its first instalment—''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]''—was similarly set on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]) ushered in an age of unprecedented adherence to the [[character model]]s of the '80s. Many toys with Cybertronian alt-modes were heavily retooled with more typical Earth-based vehicle modes for ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]''. Finally, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' brought back an unprecedented amount of ''Beast Wars'' characters.

To make way for those ''Beast Wars'' characters, and with the well of onscreen characters from the movies mostly tapped, Hasbro once again turned to their movie line as an outlet for more Generation 1 product—with ''Studio Series'' 86 featuring characters from the animated ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Other lines released in this period included the ''[[Transformers Collaborative|Collaborative]]'' series of pop-culture crossover figures, the [[Action Master]]-like ''[[Transformers R.E.D.|Robot Enhanced Design]]'' series, and the ''Titans Return / Legends'' redeco series ''Retro Headmasters''.

In 2022, ''[[Transformers: Legacy]]'' was launched, with the intent of bringing more of the franchise's history into the modern toy market. It features characters from across continuities—G1, ''Beast Wars'', ''Animated'', ''Prime'', and others, all slightly redesigned to fit with the 'Generations' aesthetic. Most toys include their universe of origin in their name, such as "Prime Universe Knock Out" or "Comic Universe Impactor". It also saw the return of combiners for the first time since the ''Prime Wars Trilogy'', starting with Menasor. With each year, ''Legacy'' received a new [[subline imprint]]: ''Legacy: Evolution'' in 2023 and ''Legacy: United'' in 2024.

The release of characters from multiple generations continued in 2025's ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes]]'' which a special theming around the [[Thirteen|Thirteen Primes]].

The mainlines have always been complemented by lines of exclusive redecoes and retools. Beginning with the [[BotCon 2007]] box set, [[Fun Publications]] had often aimed to directly complement Hasbro's releases with their ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Transformers Timelines]]'' exclusives, offering niche characters in a similar style (sometimes based on unrealised ideas from Hasbro) until their loss of the ''Transformers'' license in 2016, the same/only year Fun Publications toys were primarily branded under ''Generations'', specifically ''Combiner Wars''. Meanwhile, Hasbro's "[[#GDO|Global Development Organization]]" released a handful of similar toys in Asian markets, and later began producing budget toys of popular characters via ''[[#Cyber Series (2015–2018)|Cyber Series]]''. In the west, Hasbro released a variety of redecoes for ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' (which in its later years, was folded into ''Generations'') and the generic 2014 ''[[Transformers (2014 toyline)|Transformers]]'' toyline, the latter of which eventually morphed into the ''[[Transformers Authentics|Authentics]]'' budget line. Starting in late 2018, Hasbro's own ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' range took over the ''Timelines'' niche: premium redecoes and retools (usually as more obscure characters) sold in brown cardboard boxes.

In 2025, packaging across the entire ''Transformers'' brand was redesigned to have a more homogenized look. Seemingly as part of this, the use of the ''Generations'' logo was dropped from the packaging of items that typically fell under the ''Generations'' banner, most notably the ongoing ''Studio Series'' line and the just-releasing ''Age of the Primes'' line. However, the [[Hasbro Pulse]] website continues to have a "[https://www.hasbropulse.com/collections/transformers-generations Transformers Generations]" category that includes those two toylines and various other collector-oriented figures that otherwise have no distinct toyline. Notably, most of the new "collector product" have predominantly black-colored boxes, a trend started by the ''Prime Wars Trilogy'', which contrasts with the white-colored boxes of "kid-friendly" lines like ''[[Transformers: Cyberworld (toyline)|Cyberworld]]''. However, this does not guarantee that a collector-themed item will fall under the ''Generations'' category, such as [[Star Eagle]], and may differ between the US, UK, and EU versions of the website, such as with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Transformers (2025)|Icons Optimus Prime]], who was only listed under ''Generations'' on the UK site.

===TakaraTomy lines===
{{main|Transformers: Generations (Japan)}}
[[File:TF-UW07-Bruticus.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9||''Unite Warriors'' Bruticus'']]
In Japan, [[TakaraTomy]] employed a constantly-shifting approach to releasing molds sold under Hasbro's ''Generations'' branding. Their first go was ''[[Transformers United]]'', which sold versions of the toys sold under the original 2010 incarnation of ''Generations'', along with ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#Hasbro Reveal the Shield subline|Reveal the Shield]]'' molds. All toys, regardless of provenance, were identified as traditional Generation 1 characters. For whatever reason, TakaraTomy decided to end ''United'', using ''[[Power Core Combiners]]'' molds to fill the gap (as "''United EX''") till their newer line, '''''[[Transformers: Generations (Japan)|Transformers: Generations]]'''''. This line took on the branding and visual elements used by Hasbro, selling the ''Fall of Cybertron'' subline and the first half of ''Thrilling 30''. This toyline would also see a short life, only lasting a bit longer than a year before being replaced by ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'', which cemented its own identity by also releasing [[Transformers Legends (comic)|regular accompanying fiction]] (both online and packed in with toys) that was generally set in [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity]]. It would also feature many unique figures that had no Hasbro counterpart. Once ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' came around, TakaraTomy started a new line, ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'', to collect all of the traditional combiner characters while putting their own twists on the "newer" combiners. ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' did not receive the same treatment, instead being covered wholesale by ''Legends''. Throughout ''Legends'' and ''Unite Warriors'', molds that did not fit TakaraTomy's paradigm for those lines were shunted to ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Adventure Series|Adventure]]'', the Japanese counterpart to the 2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' toyline.

''Legends'' continued till ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', which heralded a new era of marketing alignment between Hasbro and TakaraTomy where they would sell mostly the same Hasbro-initiated product. This is the situation ever since, with TakaraTomy only eking out a few figures of their own, such as a small series of ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' figures and the ''[[Transformers Premium Finish|Premium Finish]]'' line—all sold through the [[TakaraTomy Mall]] online store. However, thanks to the marketing alignment, those products are also sold by Hasbro via their [[Hasbro Pulse]] website, allowing Western customers equal access to TakaraTomy product.

The initial '''''Transformers: 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)#Generations|Drift]] toy and its [[Blurr (G1)#Generations|Blurr]] [[retool]] were based directly on designs created by [[Guido Guidi]] for [[2005 IDW continuity|IDW's comic series]]. The earlier waves of figures sported advertising for [[Hub Network|The Hub]] or ''War for Cybertron''.

In mid-[[2012]], Hasbro's Asian division released a variety of [[redeco]]es 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]] [[exclusive]]s 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]].

{{Note|The Leader Class figures were only released in ''Generations'' packaging in Hasbro's Asian markets.

After a six-month hiatus, the ''Generations'' line was relaunched in mid-2012, starting out with the '''''Transformers Generations: Fall of Cybertron''''' toyline with eight Deluxe Class figures, in a line made specifically for characters from the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron (video game)|Fall of Cybertron]]'' video game. The line continued into 2013, with Legends and Voyager Class figures being introduced too. Unlike the previous [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], now absorbed into ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|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.

In mid-2013, ''Generations'' was rebranded as '''''Transformers Generations: Thrilling 30''''' as 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 for the US market,<ref name="region">Australia, New Zealand, and Hasbro's Asian markets typically get toys in whatever format is also used for the United States. The markets that traditionally get multilingual packaging are Canada, Latin America, and Europe, which meant no comic books for ''Thrilling 30'' and ''Combiner Wars''. See the images to the right for a comparison.</ref> 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)/toys#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.

In Europe, only the first wave of the Legends and Deluxe price points was ever officially released, exclusive to Toys"R"Us. However, several UK retailers were later used as a dumping ground for ''all'' the Voyagers, Leader Jetfire, and the last two waves of the Legends as [[parallel import]]s in US (Voyagers and Leader Jetfire) or Canadian/Latin American (Legends) packaging.

==Movie lines (2014–)==
In [[2014]], Hasbro began labeling certain [[live-action film series]] lines with the ''Generations'' banner.

===''Age of Extinction'' (2014)===
{{Nav-aoe}}
[[File:HoundPackaging.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Voyager Class Autobot Hound]]
After the many years of rather complex figures in the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|movie]] [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|toylines]] and realizing that the toys were becoming too complicated for the audiences they were aimed at, Hasbro decided to split the toyline that accompanied the fourth installment in the [[live-action film series]] franchise, '''''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Transformers: Age of Extinction]]''''', into two different age-appropriate lines. The first was the "''Robots in Disguise''" line which focused on more child-friendly designs, with gimmicks centred around pulling a lever or flicking a switch; activating an automated transformation in one or two simple steps.

The other half was labelled "''Generations''", which the figures were made to similar design standards of the preceding movie toylines, and were designed for a slightly older demographic, much like the previous lines under the ''Generations'' banner above. Releasing around the same time as [[2015]]'s ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' cartoon, the ''Generations'' lineup was simplified in the way the "Warrior Class" figures were made, using bright colors and minimal transformation steps, in keeping with a simplistic approach for any age to enjoy.

Following on from the approach taken with the ''Age of Extinction'' toyline, ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|Transformers: The Last Knight]]'' was also split into two separate age-appropriate lines. The more simplified of the two lines became the "''Turbo Changers''" and consisted of many of the same styled toys as the ''Robots in Disguise'' line above. The second, "''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)#Premier Edition|Premier Edition]]''" line, while not labelled under the ''Generations'' banner, was still aimed at an older demographic and followed the same principles that the ''Age of Extinction'' ''Generations'' line had set before it, even including many redecoes of molds sold in the previous line.

'''{{main|Tiny Turbo Changers#Movie Edition}}'''
Originally begun as part of the toyline for ''The Last Knight'' in 2017, '''''[[Tiny Turbo Changers]]''''' is a line of [[super deformed]], [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] vinyl figures featuring characters from throughout the entire [[live-action film series]]. The line continued into 2018 under the more general '''''Movie Edition''''' label and co-branded with ''Generations'' starting with Series 3. The subline ran for two more series into 2019.
{{--}}

===''Studio Series'' (2018–)===
{{nav-studio}}
[[File:Studio-Series-Voyager-Long-Haul-Box.jpg|thumb|42 ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Voyager Class Long Haul]]
First revealed at [[Toy Fair]] [[Toy Fair 2018|2018]], '''''Transformers Generations: Studio Series''''' is a new subline underneath the ''Generations'' banner that acts as a celebration of over ten years of live-action movies, with characters from every movie represented, variants included. It also coincided with ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', the sixth film in the [[live-action film series]], becoming the home for collector-oriented toys from that film and subsequent theatrical movies. Over time, the scope of the ''Studio Series'' toyline would expand to include characters from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', video games, and comic books.

Initially, all figures had an assigned ID number and came with a cardboard backdrop depicting a notable scene from their respective media appearance. Backdrops from separate figures representing the same scene are designed to be displayed side by side. With rough robot mode [[scale]] as a line-wide goal, each figure is sized in relation to other toys, even in the same [[size class]].

In [[2025]], ''Studio Series'' packaging was redesigned, dropping the ID numbers and backdrops that originally defined the line. Alongside the concurrent ''Age of the Primes'' toyline, ''Studio Series'' would drop the ''Generations'' branding as part of the redesign, though it continues to be categorized as such on [[Hasbro Pulse]].

===Exclusives===
In 2018, Hasbro released a single exclusive figure for Chinese company JingDong, which was only available on their online shop. Despite being released at the time of ''Studio Series'', the toy features a generic ''Generations'' logo and is packaged in a box with branding similar to ''Cyber Series'' figures which were also initially exclusive to China.

==''Prime Wars Trilogy'' (2015–2018)==
{{nav-pwt}}
''Generations'' was rebooted in 2015, acting more as branding than a specific toyline, starting with Hasbro's '''''Transformers: Prime Wars Trilogy'''''. As the name implies, it consists of three sublines, each with its own theme, [[gimmick]] and [[play pattern]].

===''Combiner Wars'' (2015–2016)===
{{anchor|Combiner Wars}}
{{nav-CombinerWars}}
[[File:CW Swindle pk US CALA EU.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Like most Deluxe Class figures, Swindle was available with a comic book in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, and Asia (left), and with a character card in Canada and Latin America (center) as well as Europe (right).]]
For 2015, the line was given another [[subline imprint]] titled '''''Transformers Generations: 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 tradition of including IDW comic books with U.S.<ref name="region"/> Deluxes continued, whilst Legends, Voyagers, Leaders, and non-U.S.<ref name="region" /> Deluxes gained collector cards featuring art taken either from the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game, or simply the toy's [[package art]] (which doubles as the comic book cover for the U.S.<ref name="region" /> version). 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 U.S.<ref name="region" /> 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<ref name="region" /> market, now in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. The sole exception to this was the Deluxe figures packaged with comic books, which retained English-only packaging.

Meanwhile, ''Combiner Wars'' marked the end of the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusivity for ''Generations'' figures that had been in effect in several European markets since the launch of the original line in 2010 (which had usually resulted in only one wave per assortment ever being released in Europe). Not only did availability and distribution improve tremendously across the board—the ''Combiner Wars'' figures were even released in European markets where ''Generations'' figures had previously never been available at all! At the same time, European packaging reduced the number of languages from thirteen to a mere four (English, French, German, and Spanish), resulting in a less cluttered packaging design.

After the general retail assortments had run their course, the line was extended for several months via [[giftset]]s of complete teams featuring redecoes and retools, referred to as "Collection Packs" in official promotional materials. Those sets were typically "shared exclusives" between online retailers and the online storefronts of "big box" retailers, though they were also available at brick and mortar retail in several non-U.S. markets.

{{--}}{{anchor|Titans Return}}
===''Titans Return'' (2016–2017)===
{{nav-TitansReturn}}
[[File:TR Chromedome pk USCALA EU.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|''Titans Return'' Deluxe figures came with a character card in all markets. "US/worldwide" packaging on left, European packaging on right.]]
Mid-2016 introduced a new subline imprint, '''''Transformers Generations: Titans Return''''' (initially touted under the early working name ''Titan Wars''<ref name="titanwars">Which is ''obviously'' used by many European retailers in official advertising, with annoying persistence.</ref>), with its own new line-wide gimmick: all Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader Class figures include a [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]-style [[Titan Master]] partner, all of which are completely interchangeable. To compensate for the size differences, Leader class figures feature large helmets that cover the Titan Masters, while Voyager class figures have spring-loaded pop-out adornments to "bulk up" their heads. Each Deluxe and Voyager figure's hand-held weapons can transform and combine to form a "turret" that can be manned by any Titan Master, and which can attach to the base modes of the Leader Class figures.

Additionally, a new Titan Master assortment was introduced, each including a single Titan Master, plus a small vehicle or beast. These can transform into a vehicle/beast for the Titan Master to ride, a second vehicle/beast formed by ''combining'' with the Titan Master, and a [[5 mm post|5mm]] weapon for a larger figure to wield. Legends Class figures started out as predominantly [[Mini-Cassette]] characters, which can transform into both a vehicle and a blocky PDA that can fit inside Leader Class figures such as [[Blaster (G1)/toys#TitansReturn|Blaster]]. Starting with Wave 3, this changed into focusing on [[Mini-Vehicle]]s which can often carry Titan Master passengers.

Though never officially addressed by Hasbro, Deluxes no longer included comic books in any market, thus eliminating the need for English-only packaging entirely, leaving only two types of multilingual packaging, one for Europe and the other for all non-European markets. However, the character cards included with all figures (except for Titan Masters) now featured [[Tech Spec]] stats on their back.

Voting for the second Titan Class figure was conducted via Facebook, with fans choosing between a remake of [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Generations|Trypticon]], or [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]].<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/926169094119952/?type=3&permPage=1 November 24 2016 photo]</ref> Trypticon won.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/931380200265508/?type=3 "There truly is nothing that can stand in the way of Trypticon.

===''Power of the Primes'' (2018)===
{{nav-PowerOfThePrimes}}
[[File:POTP Jazz pk USCALA EU.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe figures still came with a character card in all markets, each of them containing one of twelve possible combinations between the character and a Prime Master. "US/worldwide" packaging on left, European packaging on right.]]
First revealed in mid-[[2017]] at [[San Diego Comic-Con]], '''''Transformers Generations: Power of the Primes''''', in keeping with the previous two toylines, features a line-wide [[gimmick]]: "[[Prime Master]]s", small [[Titan Master]]-type figures that represent the sparks of the [[Thirteen|Primes]]. Unlike Titan Masters, Prime Masters are available only in their own pricepoint, where they are packaged with [[Pretender]]-style [[Prime Master|Decoy Armor]], but can interact in some way with all larger assortments.

Legends Class figures retain the ability to seat a small figure in alt-mode, whilst the Deluxe and Voyager Class pricepoints see the return of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style [[Combiner]]s. The combination joints remain unchanged, whilst the hand/foot system is tweaked: all Deluxes now include a hand, and all Voyagers a pair of feet. These accessories also facilitate the Prime Master integration for those size classes: Deluxes can use their hand as chest armor, into which a Prime Master spark mode can slot, and Voyagers can use their feet as forearm bucklers, which similarly fit a Prime Master. All Voyager Class figures also include an [[Enigma of Combination]], shaped like a Prime Master spark mode, that can fit onto their combined mode chest.

Finally, Leader Class figures feature an "Evolution" gimmick, wherein each toy includes a Deluxe-sized character who can "evolve" into a Prime by combining with additional armor. Each Leader includes a uniquely-colored [[Matrix of Leadership]], the central crystal of which can be removed and replaced with a Prime Master.

Similar to ''Combiner Wars'' (except for US-released Deluxe Class figures) and ''Titans Return'', all figures from Legends Class upwards continued to include character cards, except this time there were twelve different [[variant]]s of every character's card, each containing a [[Prime Master/Combinations|combination]] with one of the twelve Prime Masters.

Ahead of the line's release, a fan vote took place to determine a character who would become a new Prime in both the toyline and accompanying stories, with [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] claiming victory, and a place in the Leader Class assortment.<ref>[http://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/pb.146805978722938.-2207520000.1487463781./1362620857141438/?type=3&theater Optimus Primal's victory]</ref>

==''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' (2019–2022)==
{{nav-wfct}}
[[File:WFC-Netflix-Nemesis-Prime.jpg|thumb|Nemesis Prime / Fangtron / Giza Spoiler Pack]]
Beginning in 2019 (though released in late [[2018]] for the holiday season), the '''''War for Cybertron Trilogy''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations War for Cybertron''''') follows the pattern of the ''Prime Wars Trilogy'', having three sub-imprints over a multi-year release schedule. The new branding is unrelated to the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|2010 ''Transformers: War for Cybertron'']] video game from [[High Moon Studios]], though both similarly cover the early pre-Earth era of the [[Great War (G1)|Autobot-Decepticon war]]. In February 2018, Hasbro launched a [[Fan polls|fan vote]] for a thematic rivalry to be seen as Deluxe Class figures. The choices were [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]] VS [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]] VS [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]], and [[Spinister (G1)|Spinister]] VS [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]. Impactor and Mirage won, but Spinister was produced regardless, with Wheeljack being made in the next chapter of the trilogy, and Tracks in the final.

The ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' subline was unveiled by Hasbro at [[Toy Fair 2020]], and launched in conjunction with the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon]] on [[Netflix]]. With the cartoon featuring [[character model]]s based directly on Hasbro's toy molds, the toyline, in turn, features animation-accurate weathering and extensive deco, though they are often far more battle-damaged than the on-screen model.

The ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' label was also used for toy releases that did not fall into a certain chapter, namely the 2020 ''Selects'' product, the crowd-funded [[Unicron/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Unicron]] and the ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' releases.

'''''Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Siege''''' brought toy engineering to the extreme with relative scale, detail, extra posability, and ''extreme'' show-accuracy, but with Cybertronian alternate modes. Many of the line's entries feature battle damage paint and combinable weapons, with some Deluxe Class "Weaponizer" figures capable of splitting into additional armament. The figures are littered with [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] and 3 mm posts, allowing for unlimited craziness.

Falling on the ''Transformers'' franchise's 35h anniversary, ''Siege'' featured the '''''35th Anniversary''''' subline imprint.

'''''Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Earthrise''''' continues the C.O.M.B.A.T. System and the new [[A.I.R. Lock System]], which focuses more on fortification construction than weaponry. As the name implies, many of the 80's ''The Transformers'' characters are given Earth vehicle modes. A.I.R. Lock System Deluxe Modulators, along with the [[Quintesson]] and [[Mercenary]] factions, were introduced.

''Earthrise'' featured the '''''Cybertronian Villains''''' (from 2018's ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'') and '''''Galactic Odyssey Collection''''' subline imprints.

{{nav-Kingdom}}
[[File:WFC-Kingdom-Leader-Class-Megatron-Box.jpg|thumb|WFC-K10 Leader Class Megatron (Beast)]]
The third and final installment, '''''Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Kingdom''''' falls on the 25th anniversary of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' and the 35th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', seeing heavy influence from both. The chapter sees the addition of the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s, as well as the Core Class replacing the Battle Masters and Micromasters. Silently continuing the C.O.M.B.A.T. System and A.I.R. Lock System, the primary gimmick is the [[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology]], and the accompany Deluxe Fossilizers. Both classic '90s ''Beast Wars'' and '80s ''The Transformers'' characters are redone with cartoon-accurate engineering and in relative scale amongst their respective series. The toyline also surprisingly stems to ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Machines]], [[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers#Beast Wars II|Beast Wars II]]'', and ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' characters in its exclusives.

''Kingdom'' featured the '''''Battle Across Time Collection''''' and '''''Golden Disk Collection''''' subline imprints.

==''Legacy'' (2022–2025)==
{{nav-Legacy}}
[[File:TFLegacyBulkheadPackagingFront.jpg|thumb|''Legacy'' Prime Universe Bulkhead]]
Beginning after the conclusion of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline, '''''Transformers Generations: Legacy''''' (aka '''''Transformers: Legacy''''') features characters from across the wealth of different ''Transformers'' [[continuity|continuities]], making it a celebration of the entire ''Transformers'' series, as opposed to the predominantly-"[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Overview|Generation 1]]" oriented character selection of the ''Generations'' line for the past 6 years.

In its first year, the central [[play pattern]] for this line is the reintroduction of the [[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon weaponry]] from 2004's ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' toyline; translucent plastic accessories which can be combined to form bigger, more elaborate weapons. However, this was quietly dropped for the third wave and Core Class figures beyond the second wave.

Renamed '''''Legacy: Evolution''''' for its second year, the line pulled from a wider range of franchises, and replaced the Energon infused weaponry with "Evo-Fusion", a gimmick that allows figures (sans Core Class) to mix and match their weapons and accessories via 5mm ports, much like the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline that preceded it. In addition, it brought in a new group of [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] who function identically to ''War For Cybertron'' 's Weaponizers, except that they are capable of transforming ''without'' [[Partformer|partsforming]]. So... primarily a refinement of what they were already doing, but hey, they're doing it more and better.

For its third year, under the moniker of '''''Legacy: United''''', it refined the formula even more, expanding into more franchises and replacing the Junkions with [[Armorizer|Armorizers]]: modern [[Rock Lord]]-eqsue characters who can either weaponize figures or transform into weapons as a third mode, much like the pack-in partners for the ''Thrilling 30'' assortments' Legends Class figures shown above.

The ''Legacy'' toyline also reintroduced [[combiner]] teams, beginning with the [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]], a first since the ending of the ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' line. It also introduced the first Core Class Combiner, <s>[[Dinoking]]</s> [[Volcanicus (POTP)#Legacy|Volcanicus]].

==''Age of the Primes'' (2025-)==
{{nav-AOTP}}
[[File:AOTP_The_Thirteen_Megatronus_The_Fallen_Box.jpg|thumb|The Thirteen Megatronus The Fallen]]
Beginning after the conclusion of the ''Legacy: United'' toyline, '''''Transformers: Age of the Primes''''' continues the multi-continuity setup from ''Legacy'', with the centerpieces being the [[Thirteen]] Primes (each Prime including their respective artifact).

Like ''Legacy'', ''Age of the Primes'' features combiner teams, with the first year having the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] and the second year having the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]].

''Age of the Primes'' is the first new toyline to drop the ''Generations'' branding from its packaging, though it is still categorized as part of ''Generations'' on [[Hasbro Pulse]].

===''Cyber Series'' (2015–2018)===
{{anchor|PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian}}{{anchor|CS}}
Three years after a large batch of redecoes 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]] ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#BH|Beast Hunters]]'' Deluxe and Voyager Class figures, most of these figures were based on smaller figures from the ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#RTS|Reveal the Shield]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Transformers: Prime]]'' ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Legion Class, ''Thrilling 30'' Legends Class, and [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'']] Legion Class ranges, with the designs upsized to roughly Voyager ("Battalion") and Leader ("Commander") height, keeping the transformation engineering mostly unchanged. These figures were released in Hasbro's Asian and Latin American markets in 2015, while a second wave was released two years later in 2017 to the original markets and exclusively to [[Walgreens]] in North America, followed by a third wave of the Battalion assortment in 2018. The second wave Commander Optimus Prime and Commander Bumblebee figures were also continuously released from 2018 throughout 2020 in North American markets via [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]]. Battalion Grimlock, Megatron, and original deco Commander Optimus Prime were never released to North America.

Most Cyber Battalion toys were reissued in 2021, with Wave 2 and 3 exclusive to Hasbro Pulse, and Wave 1 (except Grimlock) repackaged in two "Heroes & Villians" 2-packs exclusive to Amazon in North America. However it was still common to find examples of much unsold stock still at Walgreens in North America as late as 2023.

'''''Transformers: Platinum Edition''''' is a collector-oriented toyline that began in [[2013]]. It is composed entirely of [[retool]]s and [[redeco]]es of existing molds, which are presented in premium packaging. In 2015, it got absorbed into the ''Generations'' toyline and in the process dropped its own unique packaging designs as well as its own logo in favor of the uniform ''Prime Wars Trilogy'' packaging design, reducing the title "Platinum Edition" to a small line in neutral text above the toys' names.

'''{{main|The Transformers: Masterpiece#Hasbro}}'''
In 2015, Hasbro's '''''The Transformers: Masterpiece''''' line got partially absorbed into the ''Generations'' toyline as well. These are very expensive and detailed molds aimed at adult collectors, similar to the "CHUG" standard set by the ''Generations'' line. The line had been running since 2004, but was rebooted in 2011 to what it is today. These are released under Hasbro's packaging.

In 2016, a redeco of ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece]]'' MP-10 Convoy was redecoed in ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' colors, and was also made for Hasbro's Asian markets. That latter figure is essentially a ''Platinum Edition'' figure in all but its name, using the exact same packaging design and layout of then-concurrent ''Platinum Edition'' packaging except the actual "''Platinum Edition''" title was replaced by "''Shattered Glass''".

Announced in late 2018, '''''''Transformers: Generations Selects''''''' is a line of exclusives sold entirely online in the US, and through various brick and mortar retailers in other countries, intersecting multiple thematic sublines of ''Generations.'' The line consists of "special edition" redecoes and retools of ''Generations'' figures, packaged in brown cardboard mailer boxes with no mark up. Initially comprising toys initiated by Hasbro, the line-up also included figures initiated by TakaraTomy from 2019 to 2020.

Hasbro-initiated figures are packaged in robot mode, while Takara-initiated figures are packaged in vehicle mode, much like most of their recent products.

Most TakaraTomy material unfortunately includes the morphological error in English of "'''''Generation''''' Selects''".

'''''Transformers Collaborative''''' is an online retailer exclusive subline that began in [[2019]], intended to incorporate properties originating outside of the ''Transformers'' brand, not unlike the ''[[Transformers: Crossovers|Crossovers]]'' franchise (2008–2011) before it. ''Unlike'' its predecessor, ''Collaborative'' sometimes includes comprehensive fiction associated with the crossover event, likely to flesh out the wholly new characters created.

After the online convention, the other four toys (which were given Sideswipe silhouettes) were slowly revealed on Transformers Tuesdays from April to July 2021.

Much like ''Generations Selects'', the ''Shattered Glass Collection'' is composed of ''Generations'' redecoes and retools. Costing more than the MSRP of other Deluxe and Voyager Class toys, each figure is accompanied by an issue, with an exclusive UV cover, of [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (IDW)|Shattered Glass]]'' mini-series. The toys are packaged in uniquely shaped boxes with character art and brief [[bio]]s. The boxes only say "Shattered Glass", with "Shattered Glass Collection" coming from listings and product descriptions.

==Notes==
*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).
*With the launch of the ''Generations'' line in 2010, the plastic-coated wire twist-ties that had been used to secure a toy in its packaging in past toylines were replaced with rattan tie-downs. The paper-based tie-downs were also used in the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] toy line and subsequent toy lines, until they themselves were replaced by tag pins near the middle of 2014. The tyranny of twist-ties has mercifully never sullied these toys.

===Foreign names===

[[File:Generations 2015 Toyline logo.png|thumb|upright=0.9|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 branding applied to several collector-oriented toylines. The name was first introduced for a specific line of figures launched in 2010, but as the amount of collector-focused product released by Hasbro has increased over time it has become more of a generic label, used consistently since mid-2012 across multiple different series. ''Generations'' was predated by 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. These toylines all share a focus on celebrating the history of the brand, creating new toys of older ''Transformers'' [[character]]s (usually from [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]], but occasionally later series).

==Overview==
[[File:ClassicsStarscream toy.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9||''Classics'' Starscream'']]
[[File:Powerglideuniversetoy.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9||''Universe'' Powerglide'']]
Although Hasbro had dabbled with nostalgia-based lines in the past—such as with the likes of the 2003 ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line, ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]''—the back-to-basics approach used by ''Classics'' proved an unexpected hit with fans. Conceived as a short line of homages to bide time before the delayed release of [[Transformers (film)|the first live-action ''Transformers'' film]], ''Classics'' modernized many popular characters, and after the runaway success of the first movie Hasbro followed it up with ''Universe'', expanding its scope to cover characters from the likes of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' for [[Transformers brand|the brand]]'s 25th anniversary. [[TakaraTomy]] released their own version of these lines in the form of ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]''. By the time of ''Generations'', fans widely used the acronym '''"CHUG"''' (''Classics, Henkei!, Universe, Generations'') to refer to these lines as a whole, or as a label for their shared aesthetic—but this acronym quickly stopped being comprehensive as more lines came and went (with various ''Generations'' sublines covering the vast majority of toys released in this design paradigm), and never made it into official use.

[[File:TF2010 deluxe SpecialOpsJazz.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9||''Reveal the Shield'' Special Ops Jazz]]
Between movies, a generic [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'' toyline]] ran to keep movie-style figures on shelves—but particularly with its ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#Hasbro Reveal the Shield subline|Reveal the Shield]]'' [[subline imprint]], which ran concurrently with ''Generations'', Hasbro also used it as an outlet to release even more toys in the ''Generations'' style. Various molds were [[retool|shared]] between the two lines, such as the [[Tracks (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Turbo Tracks]]/[[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Generations|Wheeljack]] and [[Wreck-Gar (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Wreck-Gar]]/[[Junkyard (G1)#Generations|Junkheap]] molds. A third concurrent line, [[Power Core Combiners]], also took inspiration from several Generation 1 characters. Most of the toys from this time were released by Takara in their ''[[Transformers United]]'' and ''[[Transformers United EX|United EX]]'' toylines.

''Generations'' was envisioned as an outlet for toys from Hasbro's burgeoning [[Aligned continuity family|"Aligned"]] continuity family, with several toys of ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' characters being released in the initial lineup, but the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'' cartoon wound up getting [[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|a fully-fledged toyline of its own]]. ''Generations'' was relaunched in mid-2012 to focus solely on the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' sequel game; though Takara had released the first game's toys in ''United'' simply as their [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] selves, they too adopted the ''Generations'' banner for the second game.

For the brand's 30th anniversary, Hasbro again expanded the line's scope with ''[[Thrilling 30]]'', which took [[2005 IDW continuity|IDW Publishing's comic series]] as a principal source of inspiration (even including comics with many of the toys). Much like ''Universe'' before it, the line also drew from a wide range of older franchises for the brand's 30th anniversary, and had releases across the full spectrum of size classes. A couple of waves in, Takara launched ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Transformers Legends]]'' as their equivalent, also releasing redecoes of some of the Voyager toys as part of their ''[[Transformers Cloud]]'' series. Also in 2014, half of the ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]'' was delineated separately from the more gimmick-laden assortments, with the ''Generations'' name appearing on the packaging.

[[File:CombinerWarstoy-Ruckus.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9||''Timelines'' [[Ruckus (G1)#Timelines|Grabuge]]]]
''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' (and its Takara equivalent, ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'') was the first ''Generations'' line to incorporate a fully-fledged [[play pattern]], and since then every line has had some shared [[gimmick]] across the various size classes. For instance, ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' brought back the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] concept, with all toys in the line turning into vehicles or bases for the smaller robots. Beginning with ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', the longstanding practise of Hasbro and Takara releasing their own distinct versions of the toys was axed, with the toys sold being identical on both sides of the world. These three toylines made up the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]''.

By this point, the toy market had changed significantly enough since ''Classics'' that entire mass-retail lines aimed at collectors were a much safer prospect. The ''Premier Edition'' assortments of the ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|The Last Knight]]'' toyline were replaced by ''[[Studio Series]]'', explicitly under the ''Generations'' banner once more, a dedicated line of new screen-accurate toys of characters from across the entire [[live-action film series]]. Series 3-5 of ''[[Tiny Turbo Changers]]'' were similarly given the ''Generations'' logo, co-branded ''Movie Edition'', and the super-deformed collectible series ''[[Alt-Modes]]'' was entirely sold as ''Generations'' product. Meanwhile, the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' (not to be confused with the earlier video game, though its first instalment—''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]''—was similarly set on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]) ushered in an age of unprecedented adherence to the [[character model]]s of the '80s. Many toys with Cybertronian alt-modes were heavily retooled with more typical Earth-based vehicle modes for ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]''. Finally, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' brought back an unprecedented amount of ''Beast Wars'' characters.

To make way for those ''Beast Wars'' characters, and with the well of onscreen characters from the movies mostly tapped, Hasbro once again turned to their movie line as an outlet for more Generation 1 product—with ''Studio Series'' 86 featuring characters from the animated ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Other lines released in this period included the ''[[Transformers Collaborative|Collaborative]]'' series of pop-culture crossover figures, the [[Action Master]]-like ''[[Robot Enhanced Design]]'' series, and the ''Titans Return / Legends'' redeco series ''Retro Headmasters''.

In 2022, ''[[Transformers: Legacy]]'' was launched, with the intent of bringing more of the franchise's history into the modern toy market. It features characters from across continuities—G1, ''Beast Wars'', ''Animated'', ''Prime'', and others, all slightly redesigned to fit with the 'Generations' aesthetic. Most toys include their universe of origin in their name, such as "Prime Universe Knock Out" or "Comic Universe Impactor". It also saw the return of combiners for the first time since the ''Prime Wars Trilogy'', starting with Menasor. With each year, ''Legacy'' received a new [[subline imprint]]: ''Legacy: Evolution'' in 2023 and ''Legacy: United'' in 2024.

The mainlines have always been complemented by lines of exclusive redecoes and retools. Beginning with the [[BotCon 2007]] box set, [[Fun Publications]] had often aimed to directly complement Hasbro's releases with their ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Transformers Timelines]]'' exclusives, offering niche characters in a similar style (sometimes based on unrealised ideas from Hasbro) until their loss of the ''Transformers'' license in 2016, the same/only year Fun Publications toys were primarily branded under ''Generations'', specifically ''Combiner Wars''. Meanwhile, Hasbro's "[[#GDO|Global Development Organization]]" released a handful of similar toys in Asian markets, and later began producing budget toys of popular characters via ''[[#Cyber Series (2015–2018)|Cyber Series]]''. In the west, Hasbro released a variety of redecoes for ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' (which in its later years, was folded into ''Generations'') and the generic 2014 ''[[Transformers (2014 toyline)|Transformers]]'' toyline, the latter of which eventually morphed into the ''[[Transformers Authentics|Authentics]]'' budget line. Starting in late 2018, Hasbro's own ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' range took over the ''Timelines'' niche: premium redecoes and retools (usually as more obscure characters) sold in brown cardboard boxes.

===TakaraTomy lines===
{{main|Transformers: Generations (Japan)}}
[[File:TF-UW07-Bruticus.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9||''Unite Warriors'' Bruticus'']]
In Japan, [[TakaraTomy]] employed a constantly-shifting approach to releasing molds sold under Hasbro's ''Generations'' branding. Their first go was ''[[Transformers United]]'', which sold versions of the toys sold under the original 2010 incarnation of ''Generations'', along with ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#Hasbro Reveal the Shield subline|Reveal the Shield]]'' molds. All toys, regardless of provenance, were identified as traditional Generation 1 characters. For whatever reason, TakaraTomy decided to end ''United'', using ''[[Power Core Combiners]]'' molds to fill the gap (as "''United EX''") till their newer line, '''''[[Transformers: Generations (Japan)|Transformers: Generations]]'''''. This line took on the branding and visual elements used by Hasbro, selling the ''Fall of Cybertron'' subline and the first half of ''Thrilling 30''. This toyline would also see a short life, only lasting a bit longer than a year before being replaced by ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'', which cemented its own identity by also releasing [[Transformers Legends (comic)|regular accompanying fiction]] (both online and packed in with toys) that was generally set in [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity]]. It would also feature many unique figures that had no Hasbro counterpart. Once ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' came around, TakaraTomy started a new line, ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'', to collect all of the traditional combiner characters while putting their own twists on the "newer" combiners. ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' did not receive the same treatment, instead being covered wholesale by ''Legends''. Throughout ''Legends'' and ''Unite Warriors'', molds that did not fit TakaraTomy's paradigm for those lines were shunted to ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Adventure Series|Adventure]]'', the Japanese counterpart to the 2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' toyline.

''Legends'' continued till ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', which heralded a new era of marketing alignment between Hasbro and TakaraTomy where they would sell mostly the same Hasbro-initiated product. This is the situation ever since, with TakaraTomy only eking out a few figures of their own, such as a small series of ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' figures and the ''[[Transformers Premium Finish|Premium Finish]]'' line—all sold through the [[TakaraTomy Mall]] online store. However, thanks to the marketing alignment, those products are also sold by Hasbro via their [[Hasbro Pulse]] website, allowing Western customers equal access to TakaraTomy product.

The initial '''''Transformers: 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)#Generations|Drift]] toy and its [[Blurr (G1)#Generations|Blurr]] [[retool]] were based directly on designs created by [[Guido Guidi]] for [[2005 IDW continuity|IDW's comic series]]. The earlier waves of figures sported advertising for [[Hub Network|The Hub]] or ''War for Cybertron''.

===Exclusives===
[[File:GenerationsAsianDeluxes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|''Top'': Asian market Deluxe packaging ''Bottom'': North American Toys"R"Us packaging]]
In mid-[[2012]], Hasbro's Asian division released a variety of [[redeco]]es 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]] [[exclusive]]s 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]].

{{Note|The Leader Class figures were only released in ''Generations'' packaging in Hasbro's Asian markets. While their United States releases were canceled, they ''were'' released in Canada, albeit in bilingual ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' packaging with additional ''[[Movie Trilogy Series]]'' labels for whatever reason.}}

After a six-month hiatus, the ''Generations'' line was relaunched in mid-2012, starting out with the '''''Transformers Generations: Fall of Cybertron''''' toyline with eight Deluxe Class figures, in a line made specifically for characters from the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron (video game)|Fall of Cybertron]]'' video game. The line continued into 2013, with Legends and Voyager Class figures being introduced too. Unlike the previous [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], now absorbed into ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|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.

In mid-2013, ''Generations'' was rebranded as '''''Transformers Generations: Thrilling 30''''' as 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 for the US market,<ref name="region">Australia, New Zealand, and Hasbro's Asian markets typically get toys in whatever format is also used for the United States. The markets that traditionally get multilingual packaging are Canada, Latin America, and Europe, which meant no comic books for ''Thrilling 30'' and ''Combiner Wars''. See the images to the right for a comparison.</ref> 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)/toys#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.

In Europe, only the first wave of the Legends and Deluxe price points was ever officially released, exclusive to Toys"R"Us. However, several UK retailers were later used as a dumping ground for ''all'' the Voyagers, Leader Jetfire, and the last two waves of the Legends as [[parallel import]]s in US (Voyagers and Leader Jetfire) or Canadian/Latin American (Legends) packaging.

==Movie lines (2014–)==
In [[2014]], Hasbro began labeling certain [[live-action film series]] lines with the ''Generations'' banner.

===''Age of Extinction'' (2014)===
{{Nav-aoe}}
[[File:HoundPackaging.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Voyager Class Autobot Hound]]
After the many years of rather complex figures in the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|movie]] [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|toylines]] and realizing that the toys were becoming too complicated for the audiences they were aimed at, Hasbro decided to split the toyline that accompanied the fourth installment in the [[live-action film series]] franchise, '''''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Transformers: Age of Extinction]]''''', into two different age-appropriate lines. The first was the "''Robots in Disguise''" line which focused on more child-friendly designs, with gimmicks centred around pulling a lever or flicking a switch; activating an automated transformation in one or two simple steps.

The other half was labelled "''Generations''", which the figures were made to similar design standards of the preceding movie toylines, and were designed for a slightly older demographic, much like the previous lines under the ''Generations'' banner above. Releasing around the same time as [[2015]]'s ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' cartoon, the ''Generations'' lineup was simplified in the way the "Warrior Class" figures were made, using bright colors and minimal transformation steps, in keeping with a simplistic approach for any age to enjoy.

Following on from the approach taken with the ''Age of Extinction'' toyline, ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|Transformers: The Last Knight]]'' was also split into two separate age-appropriate lines. The more simplified of the two lines became the "''Turbo Changers''" and consisted of many of the same styled toys as the ''Robots in Disguise'' line above. The second, "''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)#Premier Edition|Premier Edition]]''" line, while not labelled under the ''Generations'' banner, was still aimed at an older demographic and followed the same principles that the ''Age of Extinction'' ''Generations'' line had set before it, even including many redecoes of molds sold in the previous line.

'''{{main|Tiny Turbo Changers#Movie Edition}}'''
Originally begun as part of the toyline for ''The Last Knight'' in 2017, '''''[[Tiny Turbo Changers]]''''' is a line of [[super deformed]], [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] vinyl figures featuring characters from throughout the entire [[live-action film series]]. The line continued into 2018 under the more general '''''Movie Edition''''' label and co-branded with ''Generations'' starting with Series 3. The subline ran for two more series into 2019.
{{--}}

===''Studio Series'' (2018–)===
{{nav-studio}}
[[File:Studio-Series-Voyager-Long-Haul-Box.jpg|thumb|42 ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Voyager Class Long Haul]]
First revealed at [[Toy Fair]] [[Toy Fair 2018|2018]], '''''Transformers Generations: Studio Series''''' is a new subline underneath the ''Generations'' banner that acts as a celebration of over ten years of live-action movies, with characters from every movie represented, variants included. It also coincided with ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', the sixth film in the [[live-action film series]], becoming the home for collector-oriented toys from that film and subsequent theatrical movies. Over time, the scope of the ''Studio Series'' toyline would expand to include characters from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', video games, and comic books.

Initially, all figures had an assigned ID number and came with a cardboard backdrop depicting a notable scene from their respective media appearance. Backdrops from separate figures representing the same scene are designed to be displayed side by side. With rough robot mode [[scale]] as a line-wide goal, each figure is sized in relation to other toys, even in the same [[size class]].

In [[2025]], ''Studio Series'' packaging was redesigned, dropping the ID numbers and backdrops that originally defined the line.

===Exclusives===
In 2018, Hasbro released a single exclusive figure for Chinese company JingDong, which was only available on their online shop. Despite being released at the time of ''Studio Series'', the toy features a generic ''Generations'' logo and is packaged in a box with branding similar to ''Cyber Series'' figures which were also initially exclusive to China.

==''Prime Wars Trilogy'' (2015–2018)==
{{nav-pwt}}
''Generations'' was rebooted in 2015, acting more as branding than a specific toyline, starting with Hasbro's '''''Transformers: Prime Wars Trilogy'''''. As the name implies, it consists of three sublines, each with its own theme, [[gimmick]] and [[play pattern]].

===''Combiner Wars'' (2015–2016)===
{{anchor|Combiner Wars}}
{{nav-CombinerWars}}
[[File:CW Swindle pk US CALA EU.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Like most Deluxe Class figures, Swindle was available with a comic book in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, and Asia (left), and with a character card in Canada and Latin America (center) as well as Europe (right).]]
For 2015, the line was given another [[subline imprint]] titled '''''Transformers Generations: 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 tradition of including IDW comic books with U.S.<ref name="region"/> Deluxes continued, whilst Legends, Voyagers, Leaders, and non-U.S.<ref name="region" /> Deluxes gained collector cards featuring art taken either from the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game, or simply the toy's [[package art]] (which doubles as the comic book cover for the U.S.<ref name="region" /> version). 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 U.S.<ref name="region" /> 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<ref name="region" /> market, now in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. The sole exception to this was the Deluxe figures packaged with comic books, which retained English-only packaging.

Meanwhile, ''Combiner Wars'' marked the end of the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusivity for ''Generations'' figures that had been in effect in several European markets since the launch of the original line in 2010 (which had usually resulted in only one wave per assortment ever being released in Europe). Not only did availability and distribution improve tremendously across the board—the ''Combiner Wars'' figures were even released in European markets where ''Generations'' figures had previously never been available at all! At the same time, European packaging reduced the number of languages from thirteen to a mere four (English, French, German, and Spanish), resulting in a less cluttered packaging design.

After the general retail assortments had run their course, the line was extended for several months via [[giftset]]s of complete teams featuring redecoes and retools, referred to as "Collection Packs" in official promotional materials. Those sets were typically "shared exclusives" between online retailers and the online storefronts of "big box" retailers, though they were also available at brick and mortar retail in several non-U.S. markets.

{{nav-TitansReturn}}
[[File:TR Chromedome pk USCALA EU.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|''Titans Return'' Deluxe figures came with a character card in all markets. "US/worldwide" packaging on left, European packaging on right.]]
Mid-2016 introduced a new subline imprint, '''''Transformers Generations: Titans Return''''' (initially touted under the early working name ''Titan Wars''<ref name="titanwars">Which is ''obviously'' used by many European retailers in official advertising, with annoying persistence.</ref>), with its own new line-wide gimmick: all Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader Class figures include a [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]-style [[Titan Master]] partner, all of which are completely interchangeable. To compensate for the size differences, Leader class figures feature large helmets that cover the Titan Masters, while Voyager class figures have spring-loaded pop-out adornments to "bulk up" their heads. Each Deluxe and Voyager figure's hand-held weapons can transform and combine to form a "turret" that can be manned by any Titan Master, and which can attach to the base modes of the Leader Class figures.

Additionally, a new Titan Master assortment was introduced, each including a single Titan Master, plus a small vehicle or beast. These can transform into a vehicle/beast for the Titan Master to ride, a second vehicle/beast formed by ''combining'' with the Titan Master, and a [[5 mm post|5mm]] weapon for a larger figure to wield. Legends Class figures started out as predominantly [[Mini-Cassette]] characters, which can transform into both a vehicle and a blocky PDA that can fit inside Leader Class figures such as [[Blaster (G1)/toys#TitansReturn|Blaster]]. Starting with Wave 3, this changed into focusing on [[Mini Vehicle]]s which can often carry Titan Master passengers.

Though never officially addressed by Hasbro, Deluxes no longer included comic books in any market, thus eliminating the need for English-only packaging entirely, leaving only two types of multilingual packaging, one for Europe and the other for all non-European markets. However, the character cards included with all figures (except for Titan Masters) now featured [[Tech Spec]] stats on their back.

Voting for the second Titan Class figure was conducted via Facebook, with fans choosing between a remake of [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Generations|Trypticon]], or [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]].<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/926169094119952/?type=3&permPage=1 November 24 2016 photo]</ref> Trypticon won.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/931380200265508/?type=3 "There truly is nothing that can stand in the way of Trypticon.

Unlike Titan Masters, Prime Masters are available only in their own pricepoint, where they are packaged with [[Pretender]]-style [[Prime Master|Decoy Armor]], but can interact in some way with all larger assortments.

Legends Class figures retain the ability to seat a small figure in alt-mode, whilst the Deluxe and Voyager Class pricepoints see the return of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style [[Combiner]]s. The combination joints remain unchanged, whilst the hand/foot system is tweaked: all Deluxes now include a hand, and all Voyagers a pair of feet. These accessories also facilitate the Prime Master integration for those size classes: Deluxes can use their hand as chest armor, into which a Prime Master spark mode can slot, and Voyagers can use their feet as forearm bucklers, which similarly fit a Prime Master. All Voyager Class figures also include an [[Enigma of Combination]], shaped like a Prime Master spark mode, that can fit onto their combined mode chest.

Finally, Leader Class figures feature an "Evolution" gimmick, wherein each toy includes a Deluxe-sized character who can "evolve" into a Prime by combining with additional armor. Each Leader includes a uniquely-colored [[Matrix of Leadership]], the central crystal of which can be removed and replaced with a Prime Master.

Similar to ''Combiner Wars'' (except for US-released Deluxe Class figures) and ''Titans Return'', all figures from Legends Class upwards continued to include character cards, except this time there were twelve different [[variant]]s of every character's card, each containing a [[Prime Master/Combinations|combination]] with one of the twelve Prime Masters.

Ahead of the line's release, a fan vote took place to determine a character who would become a new Prime in both the toyline and accompanying stories, with [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] claiming victory, and a place in the Leader Class assortment.<ref>[http://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/pb.146805978722938.-2207520000.1487463781./1362620857141438/?type=3&theater Optimus Primal's victory]</ref>

==''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' (2019–2022)==
{{nav-wfct}}
[[File:WFC-Netflix-Nemesis-Prime.jpg|thumb|Nemesis Prime / Fangtron / Giza Spoiler Pack]]
Beginning in 2019 (though released in late [[2018]] for the holiday season), the '''''War for Cybertron Trilogy''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations War for Cybertron''''') follows the pattern of the ''Prime Wars Trilogy'', having three sub-imprints over a multi-year release schedule. The new branding is unrelated to the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|2010 ''Transformers: War for Cybertron'']] video game from [[High Moon Studios]], though both similarly cover the early pre-Earth era of the [[Great War (G1)|Autobot-Decepticon war]]. In February 2018, Hasbro launched a [[Fan polls|fan vote]] for a thematic rivalry to be seen as Deluxe Class figures. The choices were [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]] VS [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]] VS [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]], and [[Spinister (G1)|Spinister]] VS [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]. Impactor and Mirage won, but Spinister was produced regardless, with Wheeljack being made in the next chapter of the trilogy, and Tracks in the final.

The ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' subline was unveiled by Hasbro at [[Toy Fair 2020]], and launched in conjunction with the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon]] on [[Netflix]]. With the cartoon featuring [[character model]]s based directly on Hasbro's toy molds, the toyline, in turn, features animation-accurate weathering and extensive deco, though they are often far more battle-damaged than the on-screen model.

The ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' label was also used for toy releases that did not fall into a certain chapter, namely the 2020 ''Selects'' product, the crowd-funded [[Unicron/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Unicron]] and the ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' releases.

'''''Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Siege''''' brought toy engineering to the extreme with relative scale, detail, extra posability, and ''extreme'' show-accuracy, but with Cybertronian alternate modes. Many of the line's entries feature battle damage paint and combinable weapons, with some Deluxe Class "Weaponizer" figures capable of splitting into additional armament. The figures are littered with [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] and 3 mm posts, allowing for unlimited craziness.

Falling on the ''Transformers'' franchise's 35h anniversary, ''Siege'' featured the '''''35th Anniversary''''' subline imprint.

'''''Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Earthrise''''' continues the C.O.M.B.A.T. System and the new [[A.I.R. Lock System]], which focuses more on fortification construction than weaponry. As the name implies, many of the 80's ''The Transformers'' characters are given Earth vehicle modes. A.I.R. Lock System Deluxe Modulators, along with the [[Quintesson]] and [[Mercenary]] factions, were introduced.

''Earthrise'' featured the '''''Cybertronian Villains''''' (from 2018's ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'') and '''''Galactic Odyssey Collection''''' subline imprints.

The third and final installment, '''''Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Kingdom''''' falls on the 25th anniversary of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' and the 35th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', seeing heavy influence from both. The chapter sees the addition of the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s, as well as the Core Class replacing the Battle Masters and Micromasters. Silently continuing the C.O.M.B.A.T. System and A.I.R. Lock System, the primary gimmick is the [[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology]], and the accompany Deluxe Fossilizers. Both classic '90s ''Beast Wars'' and '80s ''The Transformers'' characters are redone with cartoon-accurate engineering and in relative scale amongst their respective series. The toyline also surprisingly stems to ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Machines]], [[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars II]]'', and ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' characters in its exclusives.

''Kingdom'' featured the '''''Battle Across Time Collection''''' and '''''Golden Disk Collection''''' subline imprints.

==''Legacy'' (2022–2025)==
{{nav-Legacy}}
[[File:TFLegacyBulkheadPackagingFront.jpg|thumb|''Legacy'' Prime Universe Bulkhead]]
Beginning after the conclusion of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline, '''''Transformers Generations: Legacy''''' (aka '''''Transformers: Legacy''''') features characters from across the wealth of different ''Transformers'' [[continuity|continuities]], making it a celebration of the entire ''Transformers'' series, as opposed to the predominantly-"[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Overview|Generation 1]]" oriented character selection of the ''Generations'' line for the past 6 years.

In its first year, the central [[play pattern]] for this line is the reintroduction of the [[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon weaponry]] from 2004's ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' toyline; translucent plastic accessories which can be combined to form bigger, more elaborate weapons. However, this was quietly dropped for the third wave and Core Class figures beyond the second wave.

Renamed '''''Legacy: Evolution''''' for its second year, the line pulled from a wider range of franchises, and replaced the Energon infused weaponry with "Evo-Fusion", a gimmick that allows figures (sans Core Class) to mix and match their weapons and accessories via 5mm ports, much like the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline that preceded it. In addition, it brought in a new group of [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] who function identically to ''War For Cybertron'' 's Weaponizers, except that they are capable of transforming ''without'' [[Partformer|partsforming]]. So... primarily a refinement of what they were already doing, but hey, they're doing it more and better.

For its third year, under the moniker of '''''Legacy: United''''', it refined the formula even more, expanding into more franchises and replacing the Junkions with [[Armorizer|Armorizers]]: modern [[Rock Lord]]-eqsue characters who can either weaponize figures or transform into weapons as a third mode, much like the pack-in partners for the ''Thrilling 30'' assortments' Legends Class figures shown above.

The ''Legacy'' toyline also reintroduced [[combiner]] teams, beginning with the [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]], a first since the ending of the ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' line. It also introduced the first Core Class Combiner, <s>[[Dinoking]]</s> [[Volcanicus (POTP)#Legacy|Volcanicus]].

Beginning after the conclusion of the ''Legacy: United'' toyline, '''''Transformers: Age of the Primes''''' continues the multi-continuity setup from ''Legacy'', with the centerpieces being the [[Thirteen]] Primes (each Prime including their respective artifact).

Like ''Legacy'', ''Age of the Primes'' features combiner teams, with the first year having the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] and the second year having the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]].

===''Cyber Series'' (2015–2018)===
{{anchor|PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian}}{{anchor|CS}}
Three years after a large batch of redecoes 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]] ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#BH|Beast Hunters]]'' Deluxe and Voyager Class figures, most of these figures were based on smaller figures from the ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#RTS|Reveal the Shield]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Transformers: Prime]]'' ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Legion Class, ''Thrilling 30'' Legends Class, and [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'']] Legion Class ranges, with the designs upsized to roughly Voyager ("Battalion") and Leader ("Commander") height, keeping the transformation engineering mostly unchanged. These figures were released in Hasbro's Asian and Latin American markets in 2015, while a second wave was released two years later in 2017 to the original markets and exclusively to [[Walgreens]] in North America, followed by a third wave of the Battalion assortment in 2018. The second wave Commander Optimus Prime and Commander Bumblebee figures were also continuously released from 2018 throughout 2020 in North American markets via [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]]. Battalion Grimlock, Megatron, and original deco Commander Optimus Prime were never released to North America.

Most Cyber Battalion toys were reissued in 2021, with Wave 2 and 3 exclusive to Hasbro Pulse, and Wave 1 (except Grimlock) repackaged in two "Heroes & Villians" 2-packs exclusive to Amazon in North America. However it was still common to find examples of much unsold stock still at Walgreens in North America as late as 2023.

It is composed entirely of [[retool]]s and [[redeco]]es of existing molds, which are presented in premium packaging. In 2015, it got absorbed into the ''Generations'' toyline and in the process dropped its own unique packaging designs as well as its own logo in favor of the uniform ''Prime Wars Trilogy'' packaging design, reducing the title "Platinum Edition" to a small line in neutral text above the toys' names.

'''{{main|The Transformers: Masterpiece#Hasbro}}'''
In 2015, Hasbro's '''''The Transformers: Masterpiece''''' line got partially absorbed into the ''Generations'' toyline as well. These are very expensive and detailed molds aimed at adult collectors, similar to the "CHUG" standard set by the ''Generations'' line. The line had been running since 2004, but was rebooted in 2011 to what it is today. These are released under Hasbro's packaging.

In 2016, a redeco of ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece]]'' MP-10 Convoy was redecoed in ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' colors, and was also made for Hasbro's Asian markets. That latter figure is essentially a ''Platinum Edition'' figure in all but its name, using the exact same packaging design and layout of then-concurrent ''Platinum Edition'' packaging except the actual "''Platinum Edition''" title was replaced by "''Shattered Glass''".

Announced in late 2018, '''''''Transformers: Generations Selects''''''' is a line of exclusives sold entirely online in the US, and through various brick and mortar retailers in other countries, intersecting multiple thematic sublines of ''Generations.'' The line consists of "special edition" redecoes and retools of ''Generations'' figures, packaged in brown cardboard mailer boxes with no mark up. Initially comprising toys initiated by Hasbro, the line-up also included figures initiated by TakaraTomy from 2019 to 2020.

Hasbro-initiated figures are packaged in robot mode, while Takara-initiated figures are packaged in vehicle mode, much like most of their recent products.

Most TakaraTomy material unfortunately includes the morphological error in English of "'''''Generation''''' Selects''".

'''''Transformers Collaborative''''' is an online retailer exclusive subline that began in [[2019]], intended to incorporate properties originating outside of the ''Transformers'' brand, not unlike the ''[[Transformers: Crossovers|Crossovers]]'' franchise (2008–2011) before it. ''Unlike'' its predecessor, ''Collaborative'' sometimes includes comprehensive fiction associated with the crossover event, likely to flesh out the wholly new characters created.

After the online convention, the other four toys (which were given Sideswipe silhouettes) were slowly revealed on Transformers Tuesdays from April to July 2021.

Much like ''Generations Selects'', the ''Shattered Glass Collection'' is composed of ''Generations'' redecoes and retools. Costing more than the MSRP of other Deluxe and Voyager Class toys, each figure is accompanied by an issue, with an exclusive UV cover, of [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (IDW)|Shattered Glass]]'' mini-series. The toys are packaged in uniquely shaped boxes with character art and brief [[bio]]s. The boxes only say "Shattered Glass", with "Shattered Glass Collection" coming from listings and product descriptions.

Taking the place of 2024's ''Comic Edition'' as the Pulse-exclusive subline, ''Timelines'' is centered around the concept of reimagining four characters (Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, and Starscream) as though they were present in different settings and time periods than the usual late 20th Century to early 21st Century, with a new theme each year.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viJopRdWtZA ''Transformers'' panel] at [[Megacon Orlando#2025|Megacon Orlando 2025]] with [[Emily Bader]] and [[Evan Brooks]], recorded at the "V-man" YouTube channel.</ref> All of them are Deluxe Class toys, it kicked off with familiar steampunk designs from [[IDW Publishing]]<nowiki>'</nowiki> [[2006]] ''[[Hearts of Steel]]'' comic series before moving on to more original designs,<ref>[[June 24]], [[2025]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaPi02SMMSo Transformers Studio Series Fanstream | June 2025 | Hasbro Pulse] on YouTube, with [[Nate Purswell]] and [[Evan Brooks]].</ref> with [[2026]] being themed around Feudal Japan.

==Notes==
*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).
*With the launch of the ''Generations'' line in 2010, the plastic-coated wire twist-ties that had been used to secure a toy in its packaging in past toylines were replaced with rattan tie-downs. The paper-based tie-downs were also used in the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] toy line and subsequent toy lines, until they themselves were replaced by tag pins near the middle of 2014. The tyranny of twist-ties has mercifully never sullied these toys.

{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Released in the second year of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original US ''Transformers'' toyline]] (first in European and Japanese markets), Triple Changer Astrotrain can transform into either a {{w|JNR Class D51}} steam locomotive or a {{w|Space Shuttle orbiter}}. The train mode can roll on wide-ish toy train tracks, but it can’t turn corners very well. Astrotrain was one of the earliest ''Transformers'' toys to feature [[ball joint]]s for his shoulders, a decade before they became a design standard; the arms were initially sculpted to extend on an internal slider, and it really ''looks like'' they should still be able to if you just pull on them hard enough, but this feature was removed on the final release. He's armed with a ''freaking massive'' "ionic displacer rifle", which he has a hard time aiming when his Shuttle-mode tailfin is properly transformed into his wide chestplate.

:[[File:G1-toy Astrotrain Takara.jpg|upright=1|thumb|left|(''Initial Takara release pictured, missing the NASA stickers sadly'')]]

: Takara's 1985 release of Astrotrain had a color scheme based upon the real-life versions of the vehicles he transformed into, with a white-and-black Space Shuttle mode, and a near-wholly-black steam locomotive. This release even has completely different decal detailing, including some completely new decals with "UNITED STATES" and "[[NASA]]" printed on them! However, Takara's later 1986 release of Astrotrain was changed to the Hasbro version, presumably to better match the show.

:Following the Japanese reissue, Hasbro intended to make Astrotrain (retaining his previously Japanese market-only colors) available in the United States as well as part of their ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' line of reissues in 2004. However, [[Toys"R"Us]] (who had carried the ''Commemorative Series'' figures as exclusives) decided to discontinue the line due to low sales, and even though [[Ricochet (Headmasters)#Commemorative Series|Ricochet]], the other ''Commemorative Series IX'' figure besides Astrotrain, still managed to get released, Astrotrain was not.

:Since considerable quantities of Astrotrain had already been produced, Hasbro decided to make the figure available through their newly-launched [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] website, serving as a test to see whether exclusives were a viable option for the store. In addition, Astrotrain was also released in Australia (where the ''Commemorative Series'' had previously also been exclusive to Toys"R"Us) as a [[Kmart]] exclusive, for a deep discount price. Despite being an exclusive, he could also be found clogging up shelves in smaller, privately owned toy shops.

:In 2012, several ''Commemorative Series'' figures, among them Astrotrain, were re-released in Hasbro's Asian markets, in slightly altered packaging that (in Astrotrain's case, at least) lacked the "Commemorative Series IX" label, saw his name changed to "Decepticon Astrotrain", had the box next to his name that contains the text "Decepticon Triple Changer" reduced in size and "Triple Changer" changed from uppercase to mixed case, updated the Hasbro logo to the then-current version, added a "choking hazard" safety warning label and moved the "Ages 5+" recommendation above the product code number.

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Don Figueroa]] (concept artist)}}

:''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Astrotrain, like much of the ''Classics'' line, is an extensive update of the original Astrotrain design based heavily upon his cartoon appearances and using modern toy engineering techniques. He still transforms into a spaceship resembling a NASA Space Shuttle, but with two [[kibble|rather obvious]] locomotive front halves on the sides of the rear hull. Instead of a steam locomotive, his secondary [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] is a {{w|Tsubame (train)|Tsubame}} {{w|800 Series Shinkansen|800}} bullet train. His [[robot mode]] is based heavily upon his Generation 1 cartoon animation model design, and is armed with a large purple laser rifle similar to the original toy's rifle (the side of the rifle has a [[Mini-Con]] shaped port on it, if one chooses to do it). However, purple highlights aside, his deco's color scheme is predominantly based on the original Takara toy. The shuttle nosecone folding onto the legs is based on ''Jet Granbird'' from ''[[Brave (franchise)|Brave Fighter of the Sun Fighbird]]'', which was also co-designed by [[Takashi Kunihiro]].

:A design fluke that was acknowledged on Hasbro's official Transformers website allows Astrotrain to connect to ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' Ultra Class [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] or his redecos, ''Cybertron'' Sky Shadow or [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|movie toyline]] [[Jetstorm (Movie)#Transformers (2007)|Jetstorm]], via his landing gear. (Coincidentally, Jetfire's alternate mode is based on a Ukrainian Antonov An-225 Mriya, which was used to transport the Buran orbiter, the Soviet [[knockoff|counterpart]] of the NASA Space Shuttle, on its back.)

:As with most ''Classics'' toys, he has a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]].

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Shouki#Generations|Shouki]].

Instead of the Hasbro ''Classics'' release's rubsign, he has two Decepticon sigils tampographed onto his wings. All ''Henkei'' toys feature a somewhat randomly [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] part somewhere upon them, and Astrotrain is no exception: the trim of his chestplate and engine array are vacuumized purple, with the engines themselves left as unpainted silver chrome.

: A [[retool]] of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Sentinel Prime (G1)#Generations|Sentinel Prime]], Astrotrain can transform from robot to shuttle to armored train and back. He comes with [[Darkmoon]], a [[Titan Master]] figure that can transform from a robot into his head (but any [[Titan Master]]-class figure is compatible). Like all ''Titans Return'' Voyager-class figures, he has spring-loaded parts designed to "bulk up" his head; in his case, a pair of pylons that pop up on either side of his head, replicating the shoulder "landing gear" on his original Generation 1 character model. Like Sentinel, the train engine ends ''can'' be used as feet, but they sit at an awkward angle that makes it hard for Astrotrain to stand upright. His two guns can combine to form one larger weapon which Darkmoon (or any Titan Master) can operate in robot mode, The largest of the two can be piloted by any Titan Master figure in both modes. His guns also attach to form his Vehicle mode weapons. In Australia and some Asian countries, Astrotrain and his wavemate Alpha Trion were prominent shelfwarmers.

:Unfortunately, due to being used for transformation, the port for the collector display stand on his two-piece rear waist tends to be misaligned, and the hole is not shallow enough to fully secure its connection.

:The Hasbro Asia exclusive giveaway sticker sheet can be used to enhance the figure's details.<ref>https://news.tfw2005.com/2016/09/23/hasbro-asia-titans-return-stickers-wave-2-325179</ref>

:''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Astrotrain is a heavily-cartoon-inspired figure that transforms from robot to either a space shuttle or steam locomotive (not a modern locomotive like every toy of his since the original). Despite being released in the ''Siege'' line, his alternate modes are clearly styled after Earth vehicles. This, together with his [[A.I.R. Lock System]] compatibility, makes it seem a lot like he was designed with ''Earthrise'' in mind, and indeed his toy later received a straight rerelease in that line. He features the trademark ''Siege'' "battle damage" paint applications on his legs, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:As with other Leader Class figures in the line, Astrotrain himself is roughly Voyager-sized, with his accessories accounting for the rest of the pricepoint. In addition to five [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] weapons (including one based on his original toy's blaster), which can be combined to form the "Omni-Force Orbital Cannon", he includes a tender large enough to store all five weapons inside. The tender can be converted into a small launch pad base (designed as a treaded crawler vehicle with two cabs) for his shuttle mode. The launch pad features a pair of A.I.R. Lock System connectors, but unfortunately doesn't seem able to unfold flat as designed. It can also turn into a weapons rack, which can be mounted on Astrotrain's back in robot mode, with a pair of foot pads for extra stability since the backpack makes Astrotrain ''incredibly'' back-heavy.

:The toy's coloration, with mostly-grey wings rather than the purple on his final model; is seemingly based on either a [[:File:AstrotrainTakeover.jpg|pre-final character model]] that was used in the G1 cartoon episode "[[Triple Takeover]]" or [[Miscolorings based on the Generation 1 cartoon|a fan coloring]] of his pre-final model sheet that also features a cartoon screen captured-head that became popular online.

:Astrotrain's [[A.I.R. Lock System]]-compatible base connectors saw him get a [[package refresh]] in the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' line with no changes save for his box being updated. Even the flawed hinge in the coal tender was retained without any changes, preventing it from properly assuming launchpad mode.

:Like all Earthrise toys, the inside of the back of Astrotrain's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. Astrotrain's piece of the map contains the labeled location of the planet "[[Caminus (planet)|CAMINUS]]".

:*''Accessories'': 3 blasters
{{toydesigner|[[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Released a part of the ''[[Dramatic Capture Series]]'' line by TakaraTomy, this Astrotrain is a redeco of his ''War for Cybertron: Siege'' figure in "[[Triple Takeover]]"-accurate colors, cast in brighter and more saturated colors as well as using the nonfinal wing deco utilized for that episode. The ''Siege'' version's tender/launchpad, gatling gun, and missile pod are omitted for this release, leaving Astrotrain armed only with his ionic displacer rifle and a pair of symmetrical blasters.

:Unfortunately, repeatedly transforming Astrotrain into either of his vehicle modes will inevitably cause the paint on his toes to become scratched or chipped, as they fit ''extremely tightly'' into the divots on his shins when folded up for transformation.

:Astrotrain is packaged with [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Dramatic Capture Series|Starscream]] and [[Blitzwing (G1)/toys#Dramatic Capture Series|Blitzwing]].

{{toydesigner|[[Evan Brooks]] (Hasbro), [[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy)}}<ref>[[February 15]], [[2026]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmCVek3P2uE Every TRANSFORMERS Reveal from New York Toy Fair 2026] on YouTube, with [[Evan Brooks]], [[Mark Maher]] and [[Nate Purswell]].</ref>

:Released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', ''[[Studio Series]]'' Astrotrain is designed with a higher emphasis on animation accuracy and, unlike the previous [[#War for Cybertron: Siege|''Siege'' mold]], is a full-sized Leader Class figure rather than being a Voyager-ish figure with extra accessories. His deco is faithful to his final cartoon colors, with his wings being fully purple, though unfortunately the red "fins" on his abs are missing due to the part being cast in [[unpaintable plastic]]. His tailfin can be reconfigured to open on his chest like on the [[#The Transformers|original toy]], but the molded detailing resembling the toy's stickers are unpainted.

:Astrotrain transforms into his usual space shuttle and steam locomotive modes. The shuttle's proportions hew closer to that of a real shuttle, omitting the boxy locomotive-shaped kibble from his cartoon model. On the other hand, the locomotive mode is much more cartoon-accurate than prior toys. It features working coupling rods on his wheels, and the back of the locomotive can open as shown in the movie, though he has no actual interior. He can be displayed with the various [[Slug figure#War for Cybertron Trilogy|minifigures]] released during the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' to recreate the boarding scene.

:He comes with two blasters, one based on his [[Ionic displacer rifle]] and the other on his cartoon blaster. Also included are 3 pink blast effects for use with his weapons or vehicle mode thrusters, and ''very'' long steam effect part for his funnel in his locomotive mode. His hands are articulated to allow him to hold Starscream's crown in order to recreate the coronation scene.

:Unfortunately, the [[stock photography]] for his robot and and locomotive modes are badly mistranformed, with his neck and chest panels clearly not being folded down properly and the back half of the train not being fully collapsed.

: As with all releases in the ''ReAction'' toyline, Astrotrain comes packaged on a small cardback that emulates the nostalgic packaging style of [[Kenner]]'s ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' action figures from the late 1970s to early '80s.

==Notes==
*Given the timing, the Generation 1 Astrotrain was probably an asset carried over from the [[Diaclone#Posthumous Diaclone|scrapped 1985 range]] of the [[pre-Transformer]] ''[[Diaclone]]'' toyline. Evidence also suggests fellow ''Transformers'' character [[Octane#Notes|Octane]] shares this origin.

[[File:StudioSeries-01-MV1-Deluxe-Bumblebee-w backdrop.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|From L'Oreal]]
First revealed at New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], the '''''Transformers: Studio Series''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Studio Series''''') toyline is a celebration under the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' banner of over ten years of [[live-action film series|films]], with characters from every movie represented. It has also coincided with ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]'', and ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'', acting as the collector-oriented tie-in for these films, similar to ''Generations'' for the ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]'' toyline. ''Studio Series'' would later add toys based on ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' and video games such as ''[[Transformers: Devastation]]''.

In the first seven years of the toyline, each figure was numbered with an indication of their movie of origin and came with a cardboard backdrop–the eponymous "studio"<ref>{{citesocial|quote=It's called "Studio Series" partly because Hasbro envisioned fans using the included backdrops as miniature "studios" when taking photos of the toys for social media.|link=https://twitter.com/tfwiki/status/1136078338706104320|name=Transformers Wiki (Matthew Karpowich)|site=Twitter|year=2019|month=06|day=05}}</ref>–depicting a notable scene from their respective fictional appearance. Backdrops were often repeated between separate figures to represent the same scene, and were rescaled accordingly for toys in different [[size class]]es.

With rough robot mode [[scale]] as a line-wide goal, each figure is sized in relation to other toys, even in the same size class; within the Deluxe Class, 18 Bumblebee is shorter than 10 Jazz and 01 Bumblebee, who are in turn shorter than 04 Ratchet and 11 Lockdown.

The toyline boasts greater [[show-accuracy|screen-accuracy]] than previous lines, due its focus on relative scale and its making use of CG models pulled from films or games for reference when possible. This approach does fall short for the initial toys from all the concurrent movies though, as they were designed early in their respective film's development.

====Exclusives====
The earliest exclusives in ''Studio Series'' were hit hard by the bankruptcy of [[Toys"R"Us]] in several countries. Thundercracker was only available for a very short window at TRU, and only in store. Likewise, the Bumblebee/Charlie 2-pack was also intended for Toys"R"Us, but ultimately only released that way in Canada, which still had Toys"R"Us by the time it came out. Both releases were eventually made available through numerous online retailers such as [[BigBadToyStore]], [[Entertainment Earth]], ToyWiz, and TFSource.

The Bumblebee Then & Now Two-pack was exclusive to [[Target]] and BigBadToyStore in the United States and to Kmart in Australia. The Bumblebee Vol. 1 Retro Rock Garage set debuted at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2018 and was later also made available via [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]. The Bumblebee Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway set appears to have been an "online exclusive" shared between the same retailers that offered Thundercracker and Bumblebee/Charlie. We say "appear" because the Retro Pop Highway set was ''also'' available at GameStop stores in the United States, ''and'' both sets were ''also'' listed in Diamond Comic Distributors' ''Previews'' catalog, so really the only "exclusivity" for these appears to be that neither of them is available from [[Walmart]] or Target.

Meanwhile, in Hasbro Asia markets: a special Bumblebee with battle damage deco was [[Campaign item|given away]] to customers who purchased at least 100 SGD of ''Studio Series'' and/or ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' products in Singaporean Toys"R"Us stores; and in China, the purchase of ''Studio Series'' products from Hasbro's official TaoBao online shop on May 15, 2018, entered buyers into a lucky draw with the chance of receiving one of 300 battle damaged Bumblebees or one of 88 Blackouts in camouflage deco.

As with the previous year's Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway, the Drift and Baby Dinobots set was available from multiple online retailers.

"As Seen In Parks" Megatron was officially exclusive to Universal Studios, but was released (almost a ''year'' after he had been officially revealed) in Hasbro's Asian markets first. Due to the global {{w|COVID-19 pandemic}}, the toy was ended up being released exclusively via online retailers in the U.S.

===2020===
[[2020]] ended up being, to date, the final year of the line to focus exclusively on the live-action film series with following years introducing other franchises to ''Studio Series''. This year saw the completion of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Devastator while ''Dark of the Moon'' received a lot of focus ahead of the film's 10th anniversary with toys for major players like Sentinel Prime and Shockwave. Finally, Megatron would receive a toy based on his 2007 design, completing that film's main Decepticon line-up after two years (well, except the tiny [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]]).

====Exclusives====
2020 saw the release of Leadfoot at Target, the enormous Devastator box set at multiple retailers, and the beginnings of the Target exclusive ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' line in celebration of everybody's favourite little yellow Autobot. Toys in the latter line are earmarked by the addition of "BB" to their ID numbers.

===2021===
For [[2021]]'s new product, ''Studio Series'' started to include characters from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', in celebration of the film's 35th anniversary. These toys feature a separate numbering system in Hasbro markets that utilizes "86" before the number of the respective figure. The '86 figures follow the same style, scale and play pattern of those from the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' toyline, complete with [[Fire Blast effect|blast effect]] compatibility and [[5 mm post|5 mm port]]s that can support the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. The introduction of '86 figures unfortunately came at the expense of the live-action movie Dinobots who were put on the back burner in favor of the '86 Dinobots. Gnaw also makes the first non-Autobot or Decepticon entry in the toyline.

===2022===
In [[2022]], ''Studio Series'' adopted the Core Class price point that debuted in the ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' toyline, producing both characters too small for Deluxe Class as well as pocket-sized versions of the main cast like in [[Legends Class (2005)|days of yore]]. Notably, unlike the larger figures in the line, the toys in the Core Class are not numbered.

2022 also saw the first shift in the line’s packaging design, conforming to Hasbro’s initiative to reduce packaging waste. Box sizes were slightly reduced, with plastic clamshells and windows phased out in favor of decorated cardboard backings and small open windows respectively. Leader Class figures switched to a completely closed box design. Core Classes do not have the display backdrops, but retain the new decorated cardboard backings.

====Exclusives====
2022 saw the first in a line of exclusives themed around [[NEST]] in the online exclusive N.E.S.T. Bumblebee, a new assortment of ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Deluxes from Target, and a special commemorative multi-pack of Autobots for the 15th anniversary of ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' available at [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]].

In late 2022, a second wave of ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Deluxes were briefly listed by the wholesaler NDA Toys, with accompanying stock renders, and seemed to fill the pair of conspicuous gaps in the ''Studio Series'' numbering system. A listing for a third wavemate was also discovered months later. Unfortunately, Target opted to cancel their release due to poor sales of the previous wave.<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/original-plans-for-individual-releases-of-hatchet-and-earth-mode-hound-were-cancelled/48011/ "Original Plans for Individual Releases of Hatchet and Earth Mode Hound were Cancelled"] at Seibertron.</ref> Hound was eventually released in 2024 for ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' and Hatchet and Bumblebee in 2025 for the main ''Studio Series'' line.

===2023===
''Studio Series'' expanded in scope in [[2023]], not only with toys for ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]''–the first new ''Transformers'' movie since the line's early days–but also into the world of the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' video game. These "Gamer Edition" toys feature unique packaging and a separate numbering system that we've chosen to represent as beginning with a plus (+), though the actual toy packaging stylizes the symbol as a little D-pad. Neat! It also introduced the Commander Class range of figures from ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', starting with Ultra Magnus, who was revealed at San Diego Comic Con 2023 by [[Flint Dille]].

====Exclusives====
There were further releases in ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' this year, some of which continued the range of NEST-themed redecoes, and none of which were released in waves or regular assortments. Another ''Transformers'' 15th anniversary set, this time for most of the Decepticons, was available on Amazon.

===2024===
[[2024]] introduced figures marked as "Concept Art" releases–based on character designs created for films which ultimately did not appear in the finished product. ''Bumblebee'', having left a variety of designs on the cutting room floor during its tumultuous post-production, was the primary source for this initial round of "Concept Art" releases. Figures from the unreleased ''[[Transformers: Reactivate]]'' game would also be added under the "Gamer Edition" banner, sharing its numbering system, while the long-running ''The Transformers: The Movie'' Dinobots lineup came to a close this year with Swoop.

Another addition for 2024 was the "A-Level" assortment, a concept being introduced across multiple Hasbro collector lines to distribute toys of high-profile, in-demand characters outside of the normal wave-based assortments, meaning they can remain available for retailers to order (and thus for fans to buy) for a longer period of time. The inaugural ''Studio Series'' A-Level Deluxe Class case was home to the first toy for the concurrent ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'' film; taking advantage of the film's standalone nature, Hasbro chose to decrease the scale of its ''Studio Series'' toys for affordability, placing leaders Optimus Prime and Megatron in Deluxe rather than their more typical Voyager or Leader size classes.<ref>[[April 25]], [[2024]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s06YE02e844 Hasbro Pulse Transformers Fanstream | April 2024] on YouTube, with [[Ben MacCrae]], [[Mark Maher]], and [[Evan Brooks]].</ref>

Leader Class figures would finally adopt the open-window packaging design of the other size classes this year, while thicker cardboard was used for all boxes aside from the Core Class.

Except for the Deluxes, the first wave was made available early alongside ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Legacy United|Legacy: United]]'' products at [[Singapore Comic Con#2023|Cybertron Fest 2023]].

====Exclusives====
With the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' branding being rotated out of circulation, its signature Target-exclusive cartoon-style redecoes of ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toys were released in normal ''Studio Series'' packaging. Another Amazon "15th Anniversary" multipack was released, this time for ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''. Similar to the [[#Exclusives|first year]] of ''Studio Series'', a limited amount of specially painted Optimus Primes were given to people who spent at least HKD$3000 at the Hasbro Hong Kong Fans Expo 2024. There were also Target exclusive reissues of 49 Bumblebee and 51 Soundwave.

===2025===
Beginning with 2025's spring wave, the line's packaging was completely refreshed for the first time, notably seeing a return to plastic windows and the abandonment of the line's signature ID numbers and backdrop displays, on a new design in alignment with the concurrent ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'' toyline.<ref>[https://youtu.be/70HJMtOWpk0?list=TLPQMjcxMDIwMjSvhwDwAHRwJQ&t=1092 1027 Hasbro Pulse Premium Event 2024!] with [[Nate Purswell]], [[Evan Brooks]], and [[Mark Maher]], on the official [[Hasbro Pulse]] Youtube channel</ref> In this vein, the unique "Gamer Edition" branding for video game-based toys was removed. ''Studio Series''’s media-based theming was maintained by featuring backdrop-like artwork on the side of the box and a screenshot or marketing image of the character on the top left of the back of the box.

''Studio Series'' also began shifting from four waves per year to three, reducing the amount of repacked figures in a wave and allowing more time for each wave to stay on shelves. As part of these changes, 2025's initial winter wave served as a sort of stopgap offering, comprised of multiple [[package refresh]]es (including two previously cancelled ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Deluxe figures!) and redecoes, functioning like an additional wave of 2024 product prior to the spring relaunch.<ref>"Like United wave 5, this wave is somewhat of a last minute addition while being as cost effective as possible, it’s also why we haven’t seen the updated mainline packaging yet because it’s kind of considered a extension of the 2024 lineup."—[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/hasbro-at-mcm-london-comic-con-25-27-october.1268848/page-15#post-22808424 Jtprime17, TFW2005, 2024/10/26]</ref> Tragically, the Core Class was discontinued.

[[2025]] saw another combiner in ''The Transformers: The Movie'' [[Devastator (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Devastator]]. Learning from previous combiner releases, all six Constructicons were scheduled to be released within one calendar year to make them easier to collect. The toyline also saw the addition of the ''[[Transformers: Devastation]]'' video game, celebrating its tenth anniversary.

====Exclusives====
The "MTMTE Collection" is Target's new subline of exclusives in North America, replacing ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''. Overload's product description also labelled it as the "Power Collection." Amazon continued its trend of faction-based "15th anniversary" sets, though such branding has been omitted from this year's packaging. Similar to last year, the Hasbro Hong Kong Fans Expo 2025 saw another limited run of hand-painted Optimus Primes given out for for spending at least HKD$5000 at the booth.

===2026===
[[2026]] would finally see the introduction of Titan Class to ''Studio Series'' with a remake of ''Age of Extinction'' Grimlock after 8 years, along with a promise to actually finish his [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot team]] this time around. In a sort of trade, ''Studio Series'' getting the annual Titan release saw its usual Commander figure being moved to ''Age of the Primes'' to give it two figures in the price point. ''Studio Series'' also saw the addition of the [[Energon Universe]], the toyline's first endeavor into ''Transformers'' comics. The year also had a heavy focus on ''The Transformers: The Movie'' figures for the film's 40th anniversary, notably featuring a stylistic change to new molds and retools of characters from this film: heavily reducing the extra sculpted details carried over from the [[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]] design philosophy in the name of better screen-accuracy. This did not preclude them from reusing molds from that era, however.

==TakaraTomy ''Studio Series'' toyline==
Similar to ''Power of the Primes'', in Takara's '''''Transformers Studio Series''''' (トランスフォーマースタジオシリーズ ''Toransufōmā Sutajio Shirīzu'') line, all figures are identical to their Hasbro counterparts, forgoing Takara's past practice of using more movie-accurate paint jobs. This is most likely due to the line being an official collaboration between Hasbro and [[TakaraTomy]], much like the ''[[Transformers: Masterpiece Movie Series|Masterpiece Movie Series]]'' line. ID numbering differs after number 8 compared to the Hasbro releases, since some of the exclusives are not released in Japan. Introduced to the line in 2021, Takara includes characters from ''The Transformers: The Movie'' in its pre-existing ''Studio Series'' numbering system, whereas Hasbro assigns them ID numbers prefixed by "86". Takara also assigns ID numbers to Core Class figures, which go unnumbered in Hasbro markets. From wave 4 through wave 12, the packages featured the franchise's 35th anniversary logo. Toys would eventually use entirely closed boxes starting with wave 29.

{{note|Toys in italics are exclusive to the TakaraTomy line.}}

====Second phase====
Beginning in July 2025, TakaraTomy switched to different packaging, matching Hasbro's switch. With this, it was decided to reset the numbering, with new initials '''TS''' standing for '''Transformers Series''' (トランスフォーマーシリーズ)<ref>https://twitter.com/TF_pr/status/1886973512122032413</ref>.

===''Premium Finish''===
{{nav-pf}}
In 2021, TakaraTomy decided to go back to its old ways and launched the short-lived ''[[Transformers Premium Finish|Premium Finish]]'' toyline, featuring re-releases of some ''Studio Series'' figures with much more movie-accurate decoes. This line has its own numbering system, and, with the exception of the first Bumblebee, also notes the figure's movie of origin. ''Premium Finish'' was imported to western markets via [[Hasbro Pulse]].

==Merchandise==
A wearable Bumblebee helmet was released as a Target exclusive, tying into the ''Bumblebee'' film, similar to the Optimus Prime helmet made for ''The Last Knight''. A series of [[Jada Toys]] ''Hollywood Rides'' vehicles were also made to tie into ''Studio Series'', using the toyline's packaging style and even a couple of backdrop artworks, though they were also released in generic non-''Studio Series'' packaging.

In 2026, role play items made a return with a Matrix of Leadership for the 40th anniversary of ''The Transformers: The Movie''.

==Notes==
*In July 2017, photos of a computer screen taken during an internal Hasbro presentation were leaked to the public that revealed, among other things, the very ''existence'' of the ''Studio Series'' general retail line-up, though not the actual title "Studio Series" yet (which was later revealed through separate leaks). The fact that the slides incorrectly featured projected release dates for "2017" instead of 2018 (which included dates ''predating'' the leak) led some fans to assume that the still unannounced line-up had long since been canceled. It wouldn't be until several leaks later that Hasbro ''finally'' acknowledged the existence of the ''Studio Series'' line, and revealed the first few [[wave]]s during New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], even offering a limited quantity of the first wave of Deluxe Class figures as an early release through the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] website. Simultaneously, [[TakaraTomy]] revealed their version of the line at [[Wonder Festival]] Winter 2018.
*Among the figures whose existence was revealed through the aforementioned July 2017 leak that were ''not'' officially unveiled at Toy Fair was Voyager Class Ironhide, who made his worldwide debut at retail in Singapore in June 2018. Subsequently, Hasbro announced the redeco of Voyager Class Starscream (based on his appearance in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''), the final figure revealed through the July 2017 leak, via their "[[Hasbro Pulse]]" Instagram account a few days before [[San Diego Comic-Con]], even though they ''still'' hadn't officially acknowledged the existence of Ironhide by that point.
*Like with previous movie-based lines, ''Studio Series'' also assigned code names to at least some of its characters. In 2018, the "theme" for those code names was "Australian race horses":
{{collist|3|
:::*Bumblebee: "Stryker"
:::*Dropkick: "Blue Lightning" or "Blue Light"
:::*Megatron: "Fox"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Radar"
:::*KSI Sentry: "Sentry"
:::*Shadow Raider: "Mercenary"
:::*Shatter: "Red Lightning" or "Red Light"
}}
:The code names of many of the other figures, assuming they even ''had'' code names, are still unknown, as those toys have (thus far) consistently been listed under their actual characters' names. Meanwhile, a listing for a supposed Voyager Class figure using the code name "Destroyer" later turned out to be a mislabeled Energon Igniters Speed Series [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Bumblebee|Barricade]] from the [[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|''Bumblebee'' movie toyline]], with which the ''Studio Series'' shares its code names.
*A few of the Deluxes and Voyagers of the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)#Generations .28Series M4.29|previous]] [[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)#Premier Edition|two]] movie toylines scale fairly well with ''Studio Series'' figures. To this extent, [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys 5|a]] [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#ThirdTLKDeluxe|few]] [[Nitro Zeus#Toys|molds]] [[Cogman#Deluxe|were]] also redecoed in this toyline as well [[Nitro Zeus#Toys|as a]] [[Drift (AOE)#Premier Edition|few]] [[Berserker#Toys|retools]]. Furthermore, the static figurine of [[Quintessa (TLK)#Toys|Quintessa]] scales well among these toys and also seems to serve as an inspiration for later pack-in figurines like [[Wheelie (ROTF)#Studio Series|Wheelie]], [[Brains#Studio Series|Brains]], and the [[Mini Dinobot#Toys|Mini Dinobot]]s.
*One of the biggest [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers|misconceptions]] surrounding the ''Studio Series'' toyline is that there is a [[Subline imprint|subline]] called "Studio Series 86". This came about from leaked listings on Walmart's website where the number "86" was misinterpreted as part of the toyline's title, rather than the ID numbers of those toys. While the toys based on characters from the [[1986]] movie do feature a separate numbering system, the line itself doesn't acknowledge them as being any different from the live-action movie toys they are sold alongside. That being said, ''‘86'' as a shorthand for ''The Transformers: The Movie'' figures saw widespread use amongst fans and even the toy designers, eventually appearing in official marketing material as well.<ref>[[July 25]], [[2025]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T18IQaMuGVk?t=1038 Transformers Brand Panel Recap | SDCC 2025 | Hasbro Pulse] on YouTube, with [[Mark Maher]], [[Evan Brooks]], and [[Nate Purswell]].</ref>
**While it has never been confirmed, the move to include 1986 characters in the ''Studio Series'' toyline after three years of continuous focus on the live-action films, was likely done to allow Hasbro and TakaraTomy to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the film, without stepping on the toes of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' 25th anniversary, which was celebrated as a part of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''. Evidence suggesting this is the inclusion of some of the film's main characters ([[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Kingdom|Cyclonus]], [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Kingdom|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#Kingdom|Galvatron]]) being sold in the concurrently-ran ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' toyline and the shared design aesthetics of the toys between both lines.
*Due to the cancellation of Hound, the toyline's numbering system is missing 86-18. Additionally, 79, 86-13, 86-20, 95, and 96 are only assigned to the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' version of the line.
**74 ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee and 102 ''Rise of the Beasts'' Optimus Prime are the only toys to be re-released in the regular line after debuting in ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''.
**TakaraTomy's version of the line has skipped over "72" for unknown reasons.
**Junkion Scrapheap and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Ironhide both use the 86-24 number. Optimus Prime and Galvatron also share the number 86-31.
*The last wave to use ID numbers in 2025 was quite a mess. Perhaps they just gave up in the face of its impending doom.
**As mentioned above, Galvatron reused Optimus Prime's number of 86-31.
**Hatchet's original ID number for his cancelled ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' release was 94. When he was finally released 2 years later, his packaging had the number 117, but his product description and instructions still used 94.
**The original ID number for the cancelled Bumblebee from the same wave is unknown, as there are no other gaps that it might have occupied. The main line release's product description and stock photos used 117 like Hatchet, but 116 is the only number present on the final product.
**Apelinq's stock photos, product description, backdrop, and instructions use 116, while only the box (and a small number of backdrops) uses 118, the last number in Hasbro's line.

[[File:Cyclonuscoronation.jpg|left|thumb|The [[wikipedia:Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (1968)#August 1981 strike|air-traffic controllers' strike]] was fresh on the writers' minds.]]
In the year [[2005]], after an abortive attack on [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], the evil [[Decepticon]]s found it necessary to jettison excess weight from their craft to make it back to their homeworld of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The injured and dying Decepticons were chosen to be ejected into the void of space, including the commander, [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]], but when their bodies were recovered by the world-eater, [[Unicron]], they were reborn as deadly new warriors in the service of the recreated Megatron, now known as [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]. Immediately following his creation, Cyclonus served as little more than Galvatron's personal ship and attack dog, carrying his leader to [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]]'s coronation, into the battle in Autobot City and to the [[Junkion (planet)|planet of Junk]]. He was also involved in attacking and crippling the shuttle of [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] and [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]] over [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]]. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}
{{note|Cyclonus's involvement in these events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic mini-series "[[Transformers: The Animated Movie]]," the storybook "[[Transformers the Movie (Ladybird adaptation)|Transformers the Movie]]" and the "Special Edition The Transformers: The Movie extra page" of "[[Transformers: The Ultimate Pop-Up Universe]]."}}

[[File:FFOD1 Cyclonus in Unicron.jpg|thumb|The moment Cyclonus discovered Unicron had subscribed to the cheapest cable package]]
By [[2006]], Galvatron was believed dead and the Decepticons had retreated to the barren world of [[Chaar]]. Although Cyclonus and the [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]] remained in relatively good condition, the other Decepticons degenerated quickly with only a meager supply of energon. Disgusted with how far the leaderless Decepticons had fallen as they eked out this miserable existence, Cyclonus resolved to locate Galvatron, daring even to enter Unicron's deactivated, disembodied head. By replaying the planet-eater's memory banks, Cyclonus traced Galvatron to the world of [[Thrull]]. [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]]'s accelerated sight peeled back light-years of space and confirmed their fallen leader's presence. Returning to Chaar, Cyclonus asked his fellow Decepticons to give of their meager energon supplies in support of a quest to retrieve and revive Galvatron. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}}

[[File:FFOD5 Decepticons attack.JPG|left|thumb|You can spot the real Cyclonus by his distinctive purple plumage.]]
The Decepticons' need for a strong leader was driven home when two Autobots invaded Chaar, and the entire Decepticon army couldn't muster up enough energon or firepower to put up a decent fight. Cyclonus and the Sweeps made their way to Thrull after that to retrieve Galvatron. Unfortunately, once extricated from a pool of the planet's plasma-lava, Galvatron proved to have been driven insane from exposure to it and brutalized Cyclonus and the Sweeps before being talked down and returned to his position as leader. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2}} Despite his lunacy, Galvatron was effective enough to destroy an entire space platform for Earth's defense system. Cyclonus brought him back to Chaar, only to find the Decepticons were missing, having forged an alliance with the [[Quintesson]]s in their absence. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}} With Galvatron's permission, the alliance continued, and the Decepticons and Quintessons launched an all-out assault on Cybertron and Earth both. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} The assault failed, and Cyclonus and the Decepticon were driven back to Chaar. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

As 2006 settled in, Cyclonus was captured by a [[Quintesson]] scientist for study, along with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]], [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] and [[Marissa Faireborn]], but when the entire group was sucked through a [[Black hole (phenomenon)|black hole]] into a [[negative universe]], they were forced to work together to escape; Cyclonus and Magnus developed a grudging respect for each other as warriors, but vowed that when they met again on the battlefield, it would be as enemies. {{storylink|The Killing Jar (episode)|The Killing Jar}}

[[File:Cyclonus jet.jpg|thumb|Whenever he said he needed to go [[wikia:Marvel:X-Men Blackbird|take the X-Men to the Shi'ar]], the other 'Cons assumed it was a euphemism.]]
Chasing the Autobots through space, Cyclonus and his great leader ran them down on an abandoned funeral barge floating in the void. The Decepticons pursued the Autobots into the vessel, but were taken completely by surprise by the sudden appearance of the dead Autobot leader, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]. Galvatron was injured in battle, and Cyclonus had to provide him with support. The loyal lieutenant was willing to fight on against Prime, but when the Sweeps abandoned the barge in fear, Cyclonus was forced to choose the better part of valor and leave as well, carrying Galvatron with him. {{storylink|Dark Awakening (episode)|Dark Awakening}}

[[File:Fightorflee Cyclonus Scourge Superion.jpg|left|thumb|"Scourge, is the Autobot still far away, or close and just smaller? Curse this universe's [[scale]]!"]]
Some time later, outnumbered and fleeing from the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], Cyclonus and Scourge took refuge inside a vortex, which transported them to the pacifistic, energy-rich planet of [[Paradron]], which had been settled by Cybertronian refugees. Naturally, the duo immediately conquered the planet and summoned Galvatron and the other Decepticons there; the plan was ultimately foiled by the Autobots, but at the cost of Paradron itself, which was destroyed. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}}

[[File:Starscreams-Ghost-Cyclonus-Robot-mode-alt-design.jpg|thumb|His older character model is more vulnerable to possession.]]
Cyclonus and Galvatron met up with [[Octane]] in [[Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya|Carbombya]], where they briefly adapted the local oil into a more powerful form of energon before the Autobots chased them out of the country. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}} After Octane fled the Decepticons and started working as a free trader with the [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] and even the Autobots, Cyclonus and the Sweeps infiltrated Cybertronian air space to deal with the traitor. They chased him into the abandoned Decepticon mausoleum below the planet's surface. Cyclonus marveled at Scourge's pathetic leadership ability when he couldn't even order ONE Sweep to enter the mausoleum ahead of them. He borrowed half a page from Galvatron's book and only ''threatened'' to kill a Sweep if they didn't get moving. Cyclonus's hunt was interrupted by the arrival of Starscream's ghost, who possessed the Decepticon saboteur for his own ends. The next thing Cyclonus knew, it was hours later and he was at the base of Galvatron's throne, having just been blasted by his leader. {{storylink|Starscream's Ghost}}

[[File:Cyclonus&daniel.jpg|left|thumb|The moment Daniel began to suspect Cyclonus wasn't even a real phrenologist]]
On another occasion, Cyclonus clashed with Ultra Magnus aboard the Autobot records asteroid with the fate of [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] in the balance. {{storylink|Surprise Party}}

Sometime later, Starscream's ghost returned and possessed Scourge, causing him to fire wildly. Cyclonus tried to convince Galvatron his fellow warrior was not a traitor, but only malfunctioning. Then Scourge/Starscream shot Galvatron dead center in the chest, and chaos ensued. The Decepticons were a step behind Starscream over the next few hours as he stole one of [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]'s (invisible) eyes, then Astrotrain, then finally Trypticon himself in a mad scavenger hunt orchestrated by Unicron. Their weapons temporarily neutralized after trying to recover Trypticon, Cyclonus and the Decepticons began limping away from Cybertron when they saw Starscream tumbling uncontrollably through space. Cyclonus rightly questioned how a ghost could tumble uncontrollably ''anywhere'', but Galvatron was just glad his [[particle cannon]] was working again, and he started taking potshots at the flying figure. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (G1)|Ghost in the Machine}}

[[File:G1-BigBroadcast Omega Supreme looming.jpg|thumb|The moment Cyclonus realized he'd picked the worst possible time to tell a [[Guardian robot]] joke]]
When Astrotrain reported to Galvatron that the Junkions were shooting at anyone in their airspace, even Autobots, Cyclonus saw opportunity. Although Galvatron couldn't care less about Junkions, Cyclonus investigated further for the good of the Decepticon cause, for the Autobots would lose a valuable ally if the Junkions had indeed turned against them. His personal analysis, however, did nothing to raise Galvatron's interest, only his rage. Cyclonus followed orders and ceased bothering his leader with the details, but still chose to pursue the matter with the Sweeps. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (episode)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

Cyclonus was alerted to a mysterious Quintesson signal by [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]]. He and the Sweeps rendezvoused with Predaking at the source, only to find [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] and the Autobots competing with them in their pursuit. They managed to recover the Quintesson journal that was the source of the signal, and they learned it had key information that would be beneficial to peace talks the Autobots were overseeing. Cyclonus and the Decepticons tried to stop the Autobots from orchestrating a cease fire between the warring worlds, but failed. {{storylink|The Quintesson Journal}}

Later, Cyclonus was among the Transformers turned into an energy vampire by the [[Trans-Organic]] [[Dweller (G1)|Dweller]], thrown to the beast by Galvatron to delay his own fate—though at least with Cyclonus he hesitated for a moment before fleeing, almost repentant for his action. Hours later, after the Autobots saved him from an eternal unlife as an energy vampire, Cyclonus reconnected with Galvatron. Out of all the Decepticons in history, only Cyclonus could deliver his relief at Galvatron's safety with such genuine feeling and without a trace of sarcasm. {{storylink|The Dweller in the Depths}}

[[File:GalvatronCyclonusWebworld.jpg|upright=1.4|left|thumb|"Darling one, read my words and hear my heart speak of a love soft and undying: a love that will be with you always."]]
When a group of Decepticons, tired of being beaten and abused by the deranged Galvatron, confronted Cyclonus and demanded that he do something about the situation, Cyclonus was so short on options that he accepted the advice of a Quintesson and tricked Galvatron into accompanying him to the therapeutic mental institution on planet [[Torkulon]]. It pained Cyclonus to see his leader so demented as each attempted therapy met with failure, but when the Torkuli attempted to cure Galvatron by removing the damaged part of his mind, thereby leaving him a vegetable, Cyclonus sprang into action, only to be restrained. Patched into the sentient network of the planet, rather than be cured, Galvatron infected the world itself with his madness and freed himself, decimating the planet, and decided to turn his attention back to fighting the Autobots, rather than dwell on Cyclonus's deception. {{storylink|Webworld}}

While in Europe, Cyclonus and the Decepticons made contact with several human terrorists and unscrupulous mercenaries. They even hired out human mechanics to work on Trypticon and oversee his repairs. Okay, fine. But when Cyclonus ran across [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike]] and [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] wandering around inside Trypticon, shouldn't he have recognized ''them?!'' Apparently, all flesh-creatures DO look alike to the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}}

In a scheme to utilize [[anti-electron]]s against the Autobots, the Decepticons were forced to raid Unicron's head for an additional supply of the substance. Scourge and Cyclonus performed the recovery operation while Galvatron and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] kept their Autobot pursuers busy. They had only just returned with the flask, however, when [[Scattershot (G1)|Scattershot]] and the new [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] arrived, destroying the anti-electrons and routing the Decepticon invaders. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

[[File:Ejectcall.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|"Okay, now am I big or are you guys small? Bah, scale, my nemesis!"]]
Cyclonus and [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] were at Galvatron's side during a heavy battle with the Autobots, along with Trypticon, the Sweeps, and an assortment of Predacons and Terrorcons. The battle was going relatively well until more than half of Galvatron's forces suddenly responded to a mysterious call that only [[Primitive]]s could hear. Galvatron was enraged at Trypticon and the others for abandoning the field of battle, and so Cyclonus took off after them with his leader and Soundwave. They didn't get far, however, before the energy-absorbing [[Tornedron]] struck them down in the middle of space. Only after the Primitives defeated Tornedron's creator were Cyclonus and the others restored to life. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

[[File:FaceOfNijika Cyclonus Quintesson crowd.jpg|left|thumb|"HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW ZAMOJINS"]]
Later still, he, along with a group of Autobots and Quintessons, was transported into a region of space cordoned off by the Quintessons, landing on the planet [[Zamojin (planet)|Zamojin]]. There, Cyclonus aided the Quintessons in acquiring [[Perceptor (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Perceptor]]'s [[universal emulator]] in order to repair their systems and return to normal space. He demonstrated a working knowledge of psychology and mob mentality when he prodded the Zamojins into trying to execute their prisoner, the Autobot [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]]. {{storylink|The Face of the Nijika}}

Cyclonus participated in a major Decepticon attack on Japan. When they were repulsed by the Autobots, he returned to Chaar with Galvatron. The rear guard, [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] and [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]], miraculously managed to steal the Matrix of Leadership from an unconscious Rodimus Prime. After Galvatron was unable to unleash its power himself, he tossed the bauble away as if it were nothing. Scourge seized the opportunity to take the Matrix's power for himself and attempted to take over the Decepticons. Cyclonus refused to bow to anyone but Galvatron, and so was blasted down along with his leader. They eventually recovered and traveled to Earth after Scourge and the Decepticon army. They found Scourge shortly after Hot Rod reclaimed the Matrix from him. Galvatron was... not happy. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}

[[File:ReturnOptimusPrime2 crazycons.JPG|thumb|"Galvatron, we decided your issue is that you're not hateful ''enough.''"]]
When the [[Hate Plague]] swept the galaxy, Cyclonus was infected and seemed to take leadership of the afflicted Decepticons, tracking Galvatron and a group of Autobots into the depths of Chaar and spreading the infection to several of them. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}} {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2}}

[[File:Cyclonus tm.jpg|left|thumb|"See this? This...is my NIGHTSTICK!"]]
In [[2007]], Cyclonus participated in the massive Decepticon attack on Autobot City, which culminated in the theft of the [[Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber|key]] to the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]]. When the chamber was then opened, the energy released blasted the key and a group of Autobots across the galaxy to the planet [[Nebulos]], and Cyclonus and Scourge led a team of Decepticons in pursuit, attacking and capturing several of the Autobots. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} To battle them, the remaining Autobots combined with a group of Nebulan rebels into "[[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]" and bested them in combat. Having learned of this fusion of Transformer and Nebulan, the [[Hive (G1)|Hive]], the evil ruling council of Nebulos, approached the Decepticons to repeat the process, but Cyclonus argued them down to taking the heads of only the animal mode Decepticons, and merely the weapons of the others.

Consequently, Cyclonus became a [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]], as his handgun was converted into an exo-suit for the Hive member [[Nightstick (G1)|Nightstick]], giving them enhanced targeting abilities and firepower. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}} Reclaiming the chamber key with their superior powers, the Decepticons headed back to Cybertron aboard the giant robot [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], where Cyclonus attempted to convince the disgusted Galvatron of the benefits of being bonded to the Nebulans. The Autobots soon arrived back on Cybertron and invaded Scorponok, only to be captured by the Decepticons and almost executed by Cyclonus before being saved by Spike Witwicky and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. The Decepticons' plan was subsequently thwarted by Spike and the Nebulans, and they were sent spiraling off through space aboard Scorponok by a tendril of plasma energy. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

===''Macrocosmic Seekers''===
[[File:United Expanded Story 7.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
When the Decepticons intercepted an Autobot transmission detailing the acquisition of a "great treasure", Galvatron led Cyclonus and Scourge on a raid to intercept Rodimus Prime's ship. The Autobot vessel was brought down, and under heavy weapons-fire, Kup, [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]], and [[Scrapheap (G1)|Scrapheap]] fled the battleground. Cyclonus and Scourge pursued them, but were unable to hault the Junkions' progress as they would swap places as vehicle and rider every time they took a hit. {{storylink|Unending Battle}} The battle was interrupted by the appearance of the [[Seeker (United)|Seeker]], who abducted all of the combatants into his crystalline spaceship. Cyclonus, alongside Scourge, Galvatron, and Rodimus, were put into suspended animation by the Seeker. {{storylink|A Treasure Lost}} These four transformers intrigued the Seeker, as they had undergone "miraculous" reformattings; Rodimus due to the Matrix of Leadership, and the three Decepticons due to the power of Unicron. Using his advanced technology, the Seeker turned back his captives' internal clocks, and held them in time at the very moment of their reformatting, intending to perpetually keep them in this state as items in his collection. {{storylink|Eternal Moment}} Rodimus was rescued by Junkheap, and in the conflict that followed, stray shots freed Galvatron, Cyclonus, and Scourge from their stasis as well. However, all three were caught in between their former and current identities, leaving them quite confused. Despite his transitional state, Galvatron managed to put a halt to the Seeker's attacks. The group then mobilized to make their escape. {{storylink|Time to Move}} Though the Seeker resumed his assault in short order, Cyclonus found out that he and the others trapped in a transitional state benefited from increased strength and firepower. Additionally, the teleportation powers he had as Skywarp were restored. He put it to good use fighting back against their captor alongside the Autobots. The Seeker's ship sustained enough damage that Cyclonus was able to spot the Decepticons' and Autobots' ship outside. The Seeker went offline soon afterwards. {{storylink|Those Who Resist}} With the energy of the Seeker's experiment depleted, Cyclonus reverted to his normal state. Upon discovering that the Autobots' treasure was an old piece of armor of Optimus Prime, purely sentimental in value, Galvatron sounded a retreat. The Decepticons left without provoking further conflict. {{Storylink|A Treasure's True Worth}}

Cyclonus and Scourge continued to make token appearances when the new [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] warriors arrived to dominate the Cybertronian war. Cyclonus fought alongside Galvatron on Cybertron against [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], [[Jazz (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Jazz]], and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} Cyclonus seemed rather threatened by the arrival of Galvatron's new lieutenant, [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]]. Cyclonus and Scourge somehow managed to beat Optimus Prime to the [[Vector Sigma]] supercomputer, and battled him at the planet's core. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}}

[[File:CyclonusBoulderHeadmasters01.jpg|upright=1.6|thumb|His credentials for the position of Second in Command were impeccable.]] During the attack on the planet [[Beast (planet)|Beast]], Cyclonus attempted to drop a rock on Rodimus Prime, but accidentally clobbered Galvatron ''in the face'' instead, and ran away yelping in fear. {{storylink|Rebellion on Planet Beast}}

Cyclonus felt discouraged when Galvatron declared all his troops were bumbling incompetents, without making a special exception for Cyclonus. {{storylink|The Four-Million-Year-Old Veil of Mystery}} Later, when Sixshot attempted to extort energy from six countries using each of his six modes, Scourge and Cyclonus completely botched his scheme when they failed to realize that he was behind it and attacked him with [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|Terror! The Six Shadows}} After Galvatron vanished during Cybertron's destruction, and the unfamiliar [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] took over as Emperor of Destruction, Cyclonus and Scourge felt even less secure in their positions. When [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundblaster]] proudly sucked up to Scorponok, reporting on a new energy-absorbing satellite named [[Sol 1]] set for launch, Cyclonus vowed to steal the satellite in order to gain favor in Scorponok's eyes. Joined by Scourge and [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], he attacked the launch pad, but was repelled by [[Raiden]] and the Headmasters. [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] did some aerial dogfighting with Cyclonus, and the Decepticons were forced to leave empty-handed. {{storylink|The Shadow Emperor, Scorponok}}

Scourge and Cyclonus were concerned that Scorponok's latest series of attacks on Earth were more likely to destroy the planet than allow the Decepticons to gather energy. Scorponok told to them that the awe-inspiring [[plasma energy]] was released from Cybertron in its destruction. {{storylink|The Dormant Volcano Mysteriously Erupts}} In his next scheme, Scorponok explained to the duo that he planned to detonate a series of bombs to destroy the planet [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], and harvest the plasma energy its destruction would surely generate. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! Maximus Is in Danger}} Cyclonus was present for the unveiling of Scorponok's new super [[transtector]] on Mars. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! MegaZarak Appears}}

Later, Cyclonus and Scourge made arrangements for Scorponok's official society debut as leader of the Decepticons. The Autobots attacked during the proceedings on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]], but all combatants were interrupted by the triumphant return of Galvatron. Cyclonus was quick to redirect his boot-licking towards his old commander, as Scorponok's leadership was immediately overruled. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}} Cyclonus and Scourge would later field an SOS call from the planet [[Sandra (planet)|Sandra]], and reported their findings to Galvatron. {{storylink|SOS from Planet Sandra}}

Presumably left behind on Earth while Galvatron plundered the cosmos for energon, Cyclonus and Scourge were not seen for many months. After he returned, Galvatron heaped praise on Sixshot, telling Cyclonus and Scourge that they could learn a thing or two from the Ninja Commander. Grumbling to themselves, the duo noticed [[Punch (G1)|Counterpunch]] acting shifty, but were too caught up in their own problems to think too much about it. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}}

[[File:CyclonusNewBody-GrandGalvatronChapter.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.3]]
Ten years after [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]'s defeat and icy entombment, Cyclonus visited the site of his leader's downfall. There, he began to posit that Galvatron's "[[Grand Galvatron]]" body might be what the Decepticons needed to turn the tide of war. {{storylink|Grand Galvatron Chapter}} [[Galvatron II]]'s ghost fooled Cyclonus into thinking he was his master, {{Storylink|Ruination Chapter, Part One}} and channeled the power of his vengeful thoughts to reformat Cyclonus into a new body. Cyclonus's new form housed Galvatron's soul, which conversed with his underling via a head housed in his torso. Cyclonus ventured out [[Triple Z Point|into deep space]] to [[Unicron]]'s remains, which Galvatron explained they would use to finally implement his "Grand Galvatron" scheme. But the crippled god objected to being used towards this purpose, and instead offered to summon vengeful 'bots from across the [[multiverse]] to join and become Galvatron's new body. Galvatron accepted, and Cyclonus combined with [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]], [[Roller (G1)|Roller]], [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]], and a partially re-materialized [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] into Galvatron's new body. {{storylink|Grand Galvatron Chapter}}

Cyclonus brought the group to [[Thrull]], where he had them bathe in lava to train their bodies while telling them of a plan to properly resurrect Galvatron. {{storylink|Special Training in the Lava Baths of Planet Thrull!}}

The team attacked Cybertron in the form of Grand Galvatron, only to be split apart by [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]]. Cyclonus and the rest made their way to [[Vector Sigma]]'s chamber before re-combining to do battle with [[Sky Reign]]. {{storylink|Sky Reign Chapter}} With the arrival of [[Megaempress]], the rest of the team fled, leaving Cyclonus and Galvatron at the empress's mercy as she threatened to enthrall them both. They were saved when a revived Optimus Prime took Megaempress and her soldiers on. {{storylink|Megatronia Chapter}} When Unicron himself showed up and tried to take Cybertron as his new body, Galvatron was angered and had Cyclonus attack the dark god, but he ended up blasted out of the sky and knocked unconscious. {{Storylink|Ruination Chapter, Part One}} Galvatron II's spirit then left Cyclonus's body, but he remained able to combine and, after recovering, convinced the rest of the team to form Grand Galvatron once more and help defeat Unicron. After their victory, he went into space, plotting to restore the Decepticon army by becoming the next Galvatron. {{Storylink|Ruination Chapter, Part Two}}

[[File:CyclonusFlopsyManga01.jpg|thumb|Silly robot! Trix are for kids!]]
Cyclonus took part in many of Galvatron's wacky schemes, including one involving a giant toothy spaceship that ate ''other'' spaceships and stole their energy. When Rodimus Prime infiltrated the ship, Cyclonus, Scourge and Galvatron swiftly ganged up on him. Rodimus, however, was clever enough to trick Galvatron into blasting a hole in the side of the ship, providing him with an escape. As Rodimus left, he dropped off a little "gift" for Cyclonus. Cyclonus was unable to recognize it as a bomb until it was too late. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 1|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #1}}

He was also involved in the Decepticon siege on [[Feminia]]. He was forced to retreat with the rest of the Decepticons after [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] was defeated by the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]]. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #5}}

Cyclonus stood by Galvatron's side as he commanded the captive scientist Doctor [[Dalton]] to improve Trypticon and their combiner warriors. However, when the Autobots came to rescue Dalton, Cyclonus was distracted watching the Combiners fight outside, allowing [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] to sneak in and free him. Cyclonus was then left with the unenviable task of breaking the news to Galvatron (and Galvatron didn't take it well). {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 1|The Great Transformer War #1}}

After the resurrection of Optimus Prime, Cyclonus was seen getting trounced by Hot Rod in outer space. He and the other Decepticons fled, but it all turned out to be a diversionary tactic to divide the Autobot forces, making way for Galvatron's invasion of Cybertron. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 3|The Great Transformer War #3}}

==Rodimus vs. Cyclonus==
Immediately upon his creation, Cyclonus felt shafted by both Unicron and the universe at large; he remembered that he had never been able to amount to anything in his past life, and noted that although his dark master had promised him an army to match Scourge's Sweeps, it never materialized. As such, as soon as Galvatron blew apart Ultra Magnus on the planet of Junk and acquired the Matrix, Cyclonus immediately pledged his allegiance to him, rather than maintain his loyalties to the Chaos Bringer.

Galvatron sent out his two minions to slaughter as many Autobots as they could, promising whichever one amassed the highest body-count a position as his second-in-command. To ensure he would win, Cyclonus planted a false trail for Scourge to follow into the [[Rayzor Nebula]]. He then happened upon a Quintesson ship carrying Hot Rod and his allies, and struck at the vessel. Though Cyclonus was making short work of the ship's defences, he was goaded into halting his assault when Hot Rod invoked the [[Challenge of Aria-Bellum]]; a one-on-one trial by combat. The two opponents met inside the ship's anterior propulsion silo and begun their duel in earnest. Cyclonus quickly gained the upper hand, until Hot Rod started playing into the Decepticon's insecurities, and tricked him into punching into a hot fuel rod, dazing him and allowing Hot Rod to knock his opponent away.

But Cyclonus then revealed he had no intentions of honoring the Challenger of Aria-Bellum, and prepared to resume his attack on the ship... only for Scourge to turn up, miffed at having been led astray. As the two Decepticons squabbled, the Autobots made their escape, disallowing either from scoring any kills whatsoever. {{storylink|Rodimus vs. Cyclonus}}

Following the rebirth of Cybertron's [[Golden Age]], Galvatron led Cyclonus and the majority of his troops out into deep space, leaving behind their home planet. The Autobots gave chase, and the Cybertronian Civil War moved to new frontiers. {{storylink|Generation 2: Redux}}

In 2010, Cyclonus and Scourge led the Sweeps in an attack on an Autobot shuttle. Unfortunately, they neglected to plan for the raw fury that accompanied interrupting the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]' story time. {{storylink|Wings of Honor}}

At the signing of the [[Pax Cybertronia]] in 2013, [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] noted that the currently offline Galvatron would probably not be happy to learn of the treaty; Scourge planned to have Cyclonus inform Galvatron if Galvatron ever recovered. {{storylink|A Common Foe}}

==Notes==
[[File:EvolutionOfCyclonus.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Evolution of a small time demon.]]
*When asked about Cyclonus's design in an online interview, [[Floro Dery]]'s reply was, "Cyclonus was a small time demon."<ref>[http://transformersph.blogspot.com/2007/06/interview-with-floro-dery.html TransFormers Philippines: Interview With Floro Dery]</ref>
*In 2010, a set of Cyclonus's original color models (at right) drawn by Floro Dery for ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' went up for sale on Heritage Auctions, sold from [[Ron Friedman]]'s collection of [[Sunbow Productions|Sunbow]] materials. In contrast to his final model by [[Toei Animation|Toei]] and his [[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#The Transformers|toys]], [[:File:FriedmanAuctionCyclonusModelEdit.jpg|this early color model]] depicted him with pink, magenta, and cyan parts.
*An early version of Cyclonus's [[character model]] suggests that he can fire an [[Antimatter|anti-matter]] [[Laser|laser beam]] from his torso, an electron discharge spark beamer from his "ears", and a metallic tractor beam from his wrists. In jet mode he is armed with proton torpedo launchers.<ref>[https://sunbowmarvelarchive.blogspot.com/p/transformers-1986-character-binder.html Transformers: 1986 character binder at the Sunbow/Marvel Archive]</ref>
*There exists an earlier variant of Cyclonus's final cartoon model that features the goatee detail from the older models drawn by Floro Dery. Quite often in both the US cartoon and ''The Headmasters'' cartoon, Cyclonus would appear using this model for very brief instances.
*During ''The Transformers: The Movie'', Cyclonus is shown to be [[:File:Cyclonuscoronation.jpg|''huge'' in vehicle form]], serving as a personal attack ship for Galvatron, despite being a normal-sized robot. In the cartoon's subsequent third season, however, Galvatron uses the ''[[Revenge (G1)|Revenge]]'' and his own flight capabilities as his primary means of transport, and Cyclonus never shows such size-changing abilities again except in the episode "Starscream's Ghost".
*Cyclonus's voice in the Generation 1 cartoon is noticeably inconsistent. In some episodes (e.g. "[[The Big Broadcast of 2006 (episode)|The Big Broadcast of 2006]]") he speaks with a sinister, purring baritone. In others (the "[[Five Faces of Darkness]]" episodes) his voice takes on a comical, overly dramatic thespian quality. Sometimes he changes between the two within the same episode.

===Who is Cyclonus?===
[[File:Cyclonus armada tftf.jpg|thumb|"Cyclonus the warrior... ''and'' his stunt double."]]

{{bigquote|I don't know who you are, or even who you used to be... and I don't care!|[[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] on Cyclonus's origins|"[[Rodimus vs. Cyclonus]]"}}

When Unicron creates Cyclonus in ''The Transformers: The Movie'', two Cyclonuses are present: In the foreground, the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] becomes one, while in the background, the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] [[Skywarp (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Skywarp]] becomes another. While this is happening, Unicron declares, "Cyclonus—the warrior... and his [[Cyclonus's Armada (G1)|armada]]." But clearly, one warrior does not an armada make. The reasoning behind the line can be seen in the script, which states that Cyclonus is supposed to have multiple identical duplicates like Scourge's Sweeps.<ref>[http://www.camphortree.net/tf/tidbits/tftm_script.txt Final version of the ''Transformers: The Movie'' script]</ref> However, the idea didn't even survive the next cut; as the group boards [[Revenge (G1)|their ship]] moments later, the second Cyclonus has been replaced with a third Sweep. And while the number of Sweeps would fluctuate constantly throughout the film and the rest of the series, Cyclonus was depicted as a unique individual (barring some animation errors in "[[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5]]" and "[[The Quintesson Journal]]"). It was, essentially, as if the armada had never existed in the first place.

So which robot actually became Cyclonus? Bombshell or Skywarp? Bombshell is the most straightforward interpretation, as he is shown more prominently in the shot. This would mean Skywarp "really" became a Sweep. But some fans dislike that asymmetry; they believe that if [[Thundercracker (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Thundercracker]], the blue jet from 1984, becomes Galvatron's blue spaceship lieutenant, then Skywarp, the purple(-accented) jet from 1984, "ought to" become Galvatron's purple spaceship lieutenant. (The [[cross-sell]] [[catalog]]s included with 1986 toys even replace Thundercracker and Skywarp with Cyclonus and Scourge in the "[[Decepticon Planes]]" section.) Another common judgment is that the loyal Cyclonus's personality fits better with Skywarp, as opposed to the frequently treacherous Bombshell. Moreover, the Sweeps' portrayal as inexplicably-endless cannon fodder jibes with the Insecticons' cloning ability, so it seems thematically appropriate for Bombshell to end up a Sweep alongside the established [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]] and [[Kickback (G1)|Kickback]]. On the other hand, the fact that they were all intended to be dead at that point makes their former attributes questionably relevant.

[[File:Bombshell-to-cyclonus-storyboard.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|left|What are you going to believe: [[fanon]] or your lying eyes?]]
Unhelpfully, Thundercracker, Skywarp, and the Insecticons all continue to appear in the film, with Shrapnel even being called for by name in a later scene of the finalized script. This seems to be a vestige of the early draft that did not feature Megatron being cast into space with other contemporary Decepticons; instead, a brawl in the Decepticon [[Hall of Heroes]] results in his body being destroyed and his "[[Life Spark]]" floating off into space. Several shrines in the Hall are broken, releasing the sparks in them as well; it is ''these'' sparks of long-dead Decepticons who are recreated by Unicron as Cyclonus and the rest.<ref>[http://boltax.blogspot.com/2010/12/heritaage-auctions-transformers-movie.html Early draft of the ''Transformers: The Movie'' script on Jim Sorenson's blog]</ref>

The final script only states that "other Decepticons" are turned into Galvatron's troops, but the storyboard of the scene is slightly more definitive: it shows Bombshell alone (labeled with his name) being recreated, then a shot of Cyclonus with some unidentified, vaguely Cyclonus-like robots behind him. Cyclonus's ''[[The Transformers Universe (Marvel)|Transformers Universe]]'' [[bio]], the only other contemporary source, states that he is made from "parts of dead Decepticons" (note plural).<ref>Cyclonus's ''[[The Transformers Universe (Marvel)|The Transformers Universe]]'' entry</ref> This would later be echoed in his ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' and [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|2008 ''Universe'']] bios.<ref>[http://www.seibertron.com/images/toys/files/84/cyclonus020.jpg Cyclonus's ''Universe Generation 1 Series'' bio]</ref>

[[File:Idwwhoiscyclonus.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|Not to be confused with [[Cyclonus (Armada)|''Armada'' Cyclonus]].]]
Some modern attempts have been made to [[Retcon|clear the matter up]], with conflicting results. As mentioned [[Cyclonus (G1)#3H comics|elsewhere]], in 2001 the [[Departure|''Universe: Featuring the Wreckers'' comic]] stars Cyclonus and Skywarp side by side in the future. [[Wreckers: Finale Part II|The 2007 conclusion of that storyline]] contains an exchange between the two wherein Cyclonus says that Skywarp had once been his "Armada". Skywarp retorts that he had always disliked Cyclonus, even when Cyclonus had been "a bug". Also, in 2006 [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] published [[Transformers: The Animated Movie|a comic-book adaptation of the movie]] that puts Unicron's "Cyclonus—the warrior" speech-bubble on top of the Bombshell-Cyclonus, while "and his armada!" is seen over the Skywarp-Cyclonus.

Released in [[2003]], [[Madman Entertainment]]'s Australian DVD release of the movie contains character bios that declare Cyclonus to have been Skywarp. These bios are also included in the 2005 [[Metrodome]] UK DVD release. The [[2006]] Sony release of the film features a {{w|Lenticular printing|lenticular}} cover showing Skywarp being replaced with Cyclonus, next to Megatron being replaced with Galvatron. ''[[The AllSpark Almanac Addendum]]'' has a piece of [[Cybertronix]] that is an [[Ask Vector Prime]] question asking who Cyclonus was created from. [[Vector Prime]] gives the answer that it "varies by universe". A [[10,000 pardons, but you mean Bombshell right?|short]] cowritten by [[Flint Dille]] tackles the debate head-on, putting forth the bold claim that they ''both'' became Cyclonus.

Hasbro itself leaned onto the confusion with the promotional text for Cyclonus's [[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|''War for Cybertron: Kingdom'' toy]], which describes his movie origins as "when Bombshell/Skywarp/both/neither were reformatted into the second-in-command of Galvatron". A [[10,000 pardons, but you mean Bombshell right?|stop motion short]] made for the film's 35th anniversary also poked fun at the debate. Five years later, the [[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Studio Series|''Studio Series'' toy's]] box bio continued this by only saying he was created from "a fellow Decepticon."

The Japanese side of things is mostly consistent in considering Cyclonus to be an evolution of Skywarp. The 2011 story, "[[Macrocosmic Seekers]]", tells of several characters regressing to a state somewhere between their post-movie forms and their original bodies. This restores old powers, such as Cyclonus being able to [[Teleportation|teleport]] like Skywarp. The extended biography for [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#MP52|''Masterpiece'' MP-52+SW Skywarp]], released in [[2021]], outright states Skywarp became Cyclonus and retained his loyalty after his transformation. The one known divergence is Cyclonus's profile in the [[The Transformers (G1 PS2)|2003 cartoon-based video game]] stating that he was built from Bombshell.

: Released in the third year of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original ''The Transformers'' toyline]], Cyclonus transforms into a purple Cybertronian fighter craft with forward-swept wings (the first Transformers toy to use such a design). Like fellow 1986 new arrival [[Scourge (G1)/toys|Scourge]], Cyclonus has working hip and knee articulation ''not'' involved in his transformation, uncommon for "Generation 1" figures; these were apparently regarded as important enough for his design that there is an entire transformation step devoted to opening up panels that block leg movement. Oddly, the [[instructions]] list the toy's removable wingtips as though they were an action feature.

: [[Variant|Early releases]] of Cyclonus had his midfrif and part of his "ears" painted blue, while later releases left those areas unpainted; the earlier blue specimens tend to be more in demand to collectors. The soft rubbery [[plastic]] on Cyclonus' nosecone can deteriorate over time, feeling slimy to the touch; this is worsened on specimens that have been [[Mint in sealed box|kept in the original packaging for years]].

:This toy had a notable number of "intermediate" designs that led to some confusion in published materials later on. Like the other new characters created for ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', Cyclonus was designed for animation first, and had his toy based on these designs. However, while the toy was based on an earlier design (most notably featuring folded back wings), the [[character model|animation model]] underwent further modifications before being finalized. The earlier design was the basis for [[Cyclonus (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|the Marvel Comics version of the character]], and also erroneously appeared in a few instances in [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the cartoon series]]. The uncertainty of Cyclonus' final design was probably the reason for his ''[[The Transformers Universe (Marvel)|Transformers Universe]]'' profile describing his jet mode as "multi-engine (and perhaps multi-wing)". The [[Toy Fair 1986]] catalogue shows the Cyclonus toy with a different color scheme, including a mainly silver head, that was also seen in his earliest Marvel Comics appearances and the [[Ladybird Books|Ladybird Book]] ''[[Galvatron's Air Attack]]''. Also his name was swapped with [[Scourge (G1)/toys|Scourge]]. Another change from preproduction was the orientation of the stickers situated behind his cockpit windows. Right up until the final toy, all samples showed these arranged so that the orange streaks matched up with those on the wing stickers, and the angle of the leading edge matched the curve of the windows; the final instructions rotated them 180 degrees.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=So, to summarise, early mock-ups and pre-production specimens of G1 Cyclonus had mostly handmade stickers and a certain orientation of trapezoidal stickers #1 and #2 off the stickersheet that remained consistent across the box stock photography, catalogues, Toy Fair literature and even the mock-ups and samples themselves. Final stage pre-production samples with almost-final stickers and moulding still shared the same trapezoidal sticker orientation as the earlier mock-ups. For production and retail release, most stickers were updated to feature more distinct detail, but not #1 and #2, they stayed the same as seen in the earliest mock-ups. The instructions, however, now showed a different orientation for stickers #1 and #2 that was then carried forward to the Targetmaster stock photography the following year.|link=https://tfsquareone.blogspot.com/2019/09/hasbro-g1-cyclonus-figure-sticker.html|name=Maz|site=Transformers Square One|title=Hasbro G1 Cyclonus - Figure & Sticker History|year=2019|month=09|day=22}}</ref>

:This release of the ''Universe'' Cyclonus is a modified version from the Asia market-exclusive "Challenge at Cybertron" 3-pack, replacing his Decepticon sigil with a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]]. His wings are painted a more flat purple compared to the semi-gloss of the Universe "Challenge at Cybertron" release, and his lower thighs are less purple-tinged (matching his upper thighs better).

: The set also comes with a similarly-modified [[Nightstick (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Nightstick]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Rodimus]] from the "Challenge at Cybertron" set, the Autobot [[Matrix of Leadership]] accessory from the 2002 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#NewYearConvoy|New Year Special Convoy]] reissue of Generation 1 Optimus Prime, and "[[Rodimus vs. Cyclonus]]", a new comic book created specifically for this set by [[IDW Publishing]].

: Dubbed "Cyclonus Red Purple Clear Version", this [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Cyclonus mold (see above, boy they used the ''crap'' out of this mold) is cast in transparent purple plastics, emulating the scene in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' where Cyclonus is created from some dead Decepticon (no, we won't get into that here).

: Oddly, and unlike his box-mates, Cyclonus's deco is based on the Hasbro "Challenge at Cybertron"/"Battle in Space" release rather than the ''Henkei! Henkei!'' release.

:This version was only available in an [[e-HOBBY]] [[exclusive]] three-pack with clear-plastic versions of [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#United|Galvatron]], [[Nightstick (G1)#United|Nightstick]], and [[Scourge (G1)/toys#UnitedClear|Scourge]]. Preorders for the set were opened on [[December 13]], 2010, and closed on [[January 11]], 2011, and shipped in April.

:This figure was available with a Galvatron pin and ''[[Macrocosmic Seekers]]'' booklet directly from e-HOBBY, he was also released in Asian countries outside of Japan without said pin and booklet.

:[[File:KreO-Toy CyclonusLavKreon.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1|''(Variant version pictured)'']]
: Unusual for Kreons, there is actually a [[variant|running change]] in Cyclonus's original production run, leading to two distinctly different versions without any kind of packaging change. One version matches the [[stock photography]] on the bag-back (mostly), with a light lavender base plastic and leg-paint, which made him look a ''lot'' like Galvatron. The other is darker purple more matching the [[Cyclonus (G1)#Toys|original Cyclonus toy]]. Initially, the lavender version had only been found in bags marked "'''40131 36'''", while the darker version was found in ''all'' bag-number variations, ''including'' the 40131 batches.

: "Initially" because later releases of Collection 4 —which lack the individual-identifying bag codes— brought the lavender Cyclonus back, but this time with his cuffs painted dark purple to match the stock photography where the original lavender Cyclonus had lavender cuffs. Oy! He also has the 2014 [[retool]]ing to the arms the make them better as studs.

:He uses the [[Inferno (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Inferno]]-style helmet... just like Galvatron does! Awwww.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

: Released in the third wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Voyagers, Cyclonus is a [[redeco]] and hefty [[retool]] of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Silverbolt (G1)#Combiner Wars|Silverbolt]], transforming into a dark purple Cybertronian fighter craft surprisingly close to his original animation model, given existing mold constraints. He also gains two small tailfins, held in Cyclonus' exposed hands in vehicle mode, which plug into the [[5 mm post|5mm holes]] on Cyclonus' forearms to mimic the original character model's forearm fins. These tailfins can also be used as dagger weapons in robot mode. He includes a silver version of Silverbolt's rifle, which can be held in Cyclonus's or Galvatronus's hands, or mounted underneath Cyclonus's nosecone in fighter craft mode (although it won't insert fully, thanks to the placement of one of the nosecone's screws). The winged rear section of the rifle can be detached and used by Cyclonus as a shield.

: He also transforms into the torso of [[Galvatronus (CW)#Toys|Galvatronus]]; any combination of limb-bots counts as "Galvatronus", regardless of faction.

: As seen on the photo at the right, the vehicle mode's vertical fins are assembled incorrectly, with the control surface detailing facing forward. This can easily be fixed by popping them off their hinges and flipping them around.

:Like many Hasbro projects in the modern era, ''Combiner Wars'' Cyclonus had a "pretooled" alternate head that wound up unused. In the case of Cyclonus's body tooling, the alternate head was that of [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Notes|Starscream]].<ref>[https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/127888-tfss-50-live-update-now-open-to-formers-members-2012-and-on/?p=3441580 Post by Powered Convoy on The Allspark Forums, 13 February 2017]</ref>

:*''Accessories'': Rifle

:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 commemorating the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', Cyclonus is a redeco of his [[#Universe (2008)|2008 ''Universe'' Deluxe Class toy]], featuring transparent plastic on several parts (unlike the full-body translucent [[#United|''United'' release]]) to evoke his reformation in the movie. The translucent nosecone spike is now ''very'' soft, with the consistency of a "Wacky Wall-Walker" toy. Nightstick is absent from this figure, replaced with a translucent version of the [[musket laser]] originally included with ''Generations'' [[Kup (G1)/toys#Generations|Sergeant Kup]], though lacking the ball-jointed [[C joint]] of the original. And for the first time, this mold's left hand has been retooled to have a [[5 mm post|5mm fisthole]], though [[:File:TF-Platinum-Edition-Cyclonus-Stock.jpg|stock photography]] incorrectly shows the original left fist.

:Cyclonus was released as part of three-pack with [[Scourge (G1)/toys#ArmadaOfCyclonus|Scourge]] and "[[Sweep (G1)#Generations|Decepticon Sweeps]]", named "Armada of Cyclonus". Despite officially being touted as "available online" by Hasbro at [[BotCon 2016]], thereby implying a "shared exclusive" between multiple online retailers for the United States market (which would usually include the likes of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], [[BigBadToyStore]], Entertainment Earth, and [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]), it was ultimately only ever listed and stocked by two US-based online stores, namely TFSource and Scramble Core, both of whom obtain their stock through Asian vendors. The set ''did'' see a somewhat more widespread release in Hasbro's Asian markets (most notably Singapore) and, more surprisingly, was even officially released in Canada (where it was sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and also made available via [[Walmart]]'s Canadian website, though never sold in stores) and the United Kingdom (where it was available via the UK [[Toys"R"Us]] website). It was also listed very early on by Amazon's Spanish subsidiary, but was ultimately never stocked by them.

: Released in the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' Voyagers to commemorate the 35th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', Cyclonus is a 7-inch-tall mold that is unprecedentedly accurate to his appearance in the Generation 1 cartoon. His reveal press release describes him as having been reformatted from "[[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]]/[[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]/Both/[[Life Spark|Neither]]". Mechanical details are sculpted into the seams of his shoulder swivels, visible when his arms hinge at the side. His oxidating laser can be plugged into the top of his jet mode, similar to his ''Universe'' toy. His jet mode can also deploy landing gear at the nosecone and thruster areas.

:His [[Hasbro]] stock photos are mistransformed, with the hands not hidden away in vehicle mode, and the wings only half-folded into shape behind the shoulders in robot mode. Additionally, the image of his vehicle mode on the back of his packaging shows his Oxidating Laser plugged into a port that doesn't exist.

:If one folds either of Cyclonus' hands into his forearms to reveal the [[5 mm post|5mm-compatible thrusters]] for his vehicle mode, it is possible to attach weapons with a backward-facing 5mm peg onto the wrist-nozzle in a way similar to his ''Universe'' figure. However, his Oxidating Laser lacks the backward-facing peg that would allow the weapon to point forward while pegged in.

:Cyclonus' unpaintable plastic, in both silver and dull purple, is notoriously prone to [[photodegradation]] in certain conditions, causing it to have a visibly yellowed tone. One can easily tell if this has happened by comparing the color of his gray plastic to the adjacent silver paint (which unfortunately has a tendency to scrape off his thighs due to transformation.)

:Cyclonus comes with a [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]] card that "[[Source:Golden Disk destinies|reveals a possible destiny of a key character]]", with each character having three possible destiny variants. Cyclonus was later heavily retooled into ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Evolution (2023)|Legacy: Evolution]]'' [[Metalhawk (G1)#Legacy|Metalhawk]] and ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Legacy: United|Legacy: United]]'' [[Ferak#Legacy|Ferak]].

:A ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' add-on figure to ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'', this version of Cyclonus is a redeco of the [[#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|above ''Kingdom'' toy]] in a [[#Toys|"Generation 1" toy-inspired]] color scheme, complete with an optional [[sticker|sticker sheet]] in a similar fashion to [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#Generations Selects|''Selects'' Galvatron]].

:Cyclonus comes with a redecoed blaster and his little [[Battle Master]] buddy [[Nightstick (G1)#Generations Selects|Nightstick]], a redeco of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[Blowpipe (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Blowpipe]]. The set includes Blowpipe's original blast effect, which can be split apart into two pieces, and the one included with his redeco, ''Siege'' [[Caliburst (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Caliburst]], both now in purple.

:Initial sample photos depicted lower leg stickers that would block the jet landing gear, but stickers were properly cut on the final release. The final sheet includes alternate Decepticon insignias to better mimic the G1 toy's jet mode—though these would then be upside down in robot mode. Surprisingly, the stickers behind his cockpit are designed to match preproduction samples of Cyclonus' toy, as evidenced by the correctly oriented orange streaks that match the wing stickers.

:There were widespread reports of this piece having loose shoulder joints, making it difficult to pose it with frontward-raised arms. Multiple specimens also surfaced with the two fuselage attachment clips having been molded from two noticeably non-matching shades of purple plastic.

:Cyclonus & Nightstick were revealed on [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] [[Australia]] prior to their official reveal by only over 12 hours.

:Released in the third wave of 2026, ''[[Studio Series]]'' Cyclonus is a retool and redeco of his ''Kingdom'' figure, providing a more movie-accurate appearance with a new head, elbows, blaster, and almost entirely new legs. The new legs give him longer thighs and remove the 5mm ports and blast effect pegs on the lower legs, and unfortunately also remove the thruster panels that covered his feet in vehicle mode. The accurate dark purple paint on the sides of jet have also been omitted from this release.

:Instead of depicting Cyclonus's own creation sequence, the back of the box reuses the [[:File:Studio Series Backdrop Art - Heralds of Unicron.jpg|"Heralds of Unicron" backdrop art]] meant for [[Scourge (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Scourge]], which shows [[Kickback (G1)|Kickback]] and [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]] being turned into [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]].

:The color version of Cyclonus came with the right leg of the Act's "build-a-figure", [[Scorponok (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Scorponok]]. These parts could be in either full color or pewter, packed at a ratio of six color parts per four pewter parts.

:The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms; shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue.

:Sold as part of the 10th wave of [[Blokees]]' Transformers ''Galaxy Version'' series of blind-boxed kits, this Cyclonus is a snap-together kit that forms a 4" robot with 22 points of articulation. He comes with his signature Oxidating laser, which can be wielded in either hand. As advertised in the box, Cyclonus has a pull rate of 1 in every 9 boxes, or three times across four cases.

:Like his wavemates, Cyclonus is built on a "Standard Body" skeleton shared with other Galaxy/Shining Version figures in the line, but with different body pieces to make them distinct. He also features updated joints and articulation points; his limbs include two types of preassembled joints: a single-hinge joint for the elbows and a double joint for the knees. Additionally, he has a ball-jointed waist and a double-sided ball-and-socket neck joint.

:If you're a speed builder, be mindful when attaching the pre-assembled joints; Unlike the symmetrical joints from earlier waves, the pegs on both ends of these joints are designed to connect to specific pieces; The tabs with slightly smaller holes are intended for the upper arms and thighs, while the regular tabs are meant for the forearms and lower legs. While an incorrect knee joint assembly may cause it to very slightly lean when standing straight or in an A-stance, an incorrect elbow assembly won't be noticeably affected unless you're looking very closely. Also, because the newly designed knee joints are made to fit the narrow gaps in the thighs and lower legs, they are incompatible with joints from previous releases, including those used for the elbows.

: First revealed in 2022 and on hold for some time, [[Flame Toys]] Cyclonus is part of their high-end ''Kuro Kara Kuri'' line of ultra articulated non-transforming figures. Cyclonus gets a samurai motif not shown in prior media, with ornate scalloped armor and wings. Some callbacks are more familiar, such as a removable horn to match his depiction in the IDW ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]'' comic, and a gun-shield combining weapon based on his ''[[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Combiner Wars]]'' toy, above.

: If purchased at an in-person Flame Toys convention appearance or through a few select websites such as D4Toys, Cyclonus also includes his greatsword Excalibur from the comics.

: Released in the third year of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original ''The Transformers'' toyline]], Cyclonus transforms into a purple Cybertronian fighter craft with forward-swept wings (the first Transformers toy to use such a design). Like fellow 1986 new arrival [[Scourge (G1)/toys|Scourge]], Cyclonus has working hip and knee articulation ''not'' involved in his transformation, uncommon for "Generation 1" figures; these were apparently regarded as important enough for his design that there is an entire transformation step devoted to opening up panels that block leg movement. Oddly, the [[instructions]] list the toy's removable wingtips as though they were an action feature.

: [[Variant|Early releases]] of Cyclonus had his midfrif and part of his "ears" painted blue, while later releases left those areas unpainted; the earlier blue specimens tend to be more in demand to collectors. The soft rubbery [[plastic]] on Cyclonus' nosecone can deteriorate over time, feeling slimy to the touch; this is worsened on specimens that have been [[Mint in sealed box|kept in the original packaging for years]].

:This toy had a notable number of "intermediate" designs that led to some confusion in published materials later on. Like the other new characters created for ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', Cyclonus was designed for animation first, and had his toy based on these designs. However, while the toy was based on an earlier design (most notably featuring folded back wings), the [[character model|animation model]] underwent further modifications before being finalized. The earlier design was the basis for [[Cyclonus (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|the Marvel Comics version of the character]], and also erroneously appeared in a few instances in [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the cartoon series]]. The uncertainty of Cyclonus' final design was probably the reason for his ''[[The Transformers Universe (Marvel)|Transformers Universe]]'' profile describing his jet mode as "multi-engine (and perhaps multi-wing)". The [[Toy Fair 1986]] catalogue shows the Cyclonus toy with a different color scheme, including a mainly silver head, that was also seen in his earliest Marvel Comics appearances and the [[Ladybird Books|Ladybird Book]] ''[[Galvatron's Air Attack]]''. Also his name was swapped with [[Scourge (G1)/toys|Scourge]]. Another change from preproduction was the orientation of the stickers situated behind his cockpit windows. Right up until the final toy, all samples showed these arranged so that the orange streaks matched up with those on the wing stickers, and the angle of the leading edge matched the curve of the windows; the final instructions rotated them 180 degrees.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=So, to summarise, early mock-ups and pre-production specimens of G1 Cyclonus had mostly handmade stickers and a certain orientation of trapezoidal stickers #1 and #2 off the stickersheet that remained consistent across the box stock photography, catalogues, Toy Fair literature and even the mock-ups and samples themselves. Final stage pre-production samples with almost-final stickers and moulding still shared the same trapezoidal sticker orientation as the earlier mock-ups. For production and retail release, most stickers were updated to feature more distinct detail, but not #1 and #2, they stayed the same as seen in the earliest mock-ups. The instructions, however, now showed a different orientation for stickers #1 and #2 that was then carried forward to the Targetmaster stock photography the following year.|link=https://tfsquareone.blogspot.com/2019/09/hasbro-g1-cyclonus-figure-sticker.html|name=Maz|site=Transformers Square One|title=Hasbro G1 Cyclonus - Figure & Sticker History|year=2019|month=09|day=22}}</ref>

:Cyclonus was [[Classics (Europe)|reissued in Australia]] in his original packaging in 1990.

: Released the following year, the [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] release of Cyclonus (still lacking the blue paint) had his fist holes widened to accommodate his [[Nebulan]] partner, [[Nightstick (G1)#Toys|Nightstick]], who replaced his previous handgun. An additional [[5 mm post|5mm hole]] was added to the top of his vehicle mode, just in front of his [[rubsign]], to accommodate Nightstick in this mode.

: ''[[Transformers: Expanded Universe|Expanded Universe]]'' Cyclonus is a redeco of ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' [[Jetstorm (BM)#BMUltra|Ultra Jetstorm]], transforming into a Cybertronic fighter jet. His jet mode cockpit/neck is geared up with the pop-up gun turret on his back so that both turn in the same direction when moved. This turret launches two spring-loaded missiles, and has a [[Light-emitting diode|light-up feature]] - the latter noteworthy as being the ''only'' BotCon exclusive toy to ever retain such a feature, since as a rule electronics tended to get removed to save money.

: Cyclonus has both a "normal" bipedal robot mode and a "flight robot mode" with pop-out thruster engines. His [[spark]] crystal was [[tampograph]]ed with a Decepticon sigil, covering up the [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] symbol beneath.

: Cyclonus was available [[exclusive]]ly at [[BotCon 2002]], limited to 1500 pieces.

: This mold was also planned for a ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' toy of [[Jetstorm (BM)#Universe (2003)|unknown name]].

:Released in the fourth wave of [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|2008's ''Universe'']] Deluxes, Cyclonus once again transforms into a forward-swept-wing Cybertronian jet-fighter. He also comes with his [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] partner [[Nightstick (G1)#Universe (2008)|Nightstick]]. Oddly, Cyclonus's right hand is the only one with a hole to hold Nightstick in, a very rare feature amongst two-handed ''Transformers'' toys. An undocumented feature (in both the Hasbro and Takara versions) is that Nightstick can also mount to either of Cyclonus's wrists by leaving the hands folded in, exposing a tab-slot, a la ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]''... in which Cyclonus wasn't a Targetmaster. Tsk.

:[[File:Universecyclonusbeige.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Dodged a bullet! (''Pre-release image'')]]
:At one stage shortly before mass production, Cyclonus's nosecone and Nightstick were cast in beige plastic. Because the [[Hasbro]] [[stock photography|promotional photos]] that depict a [[prototype|pre-release]] sample and a packaged sample featured these colors, it created some [[fandom]] [[Ruined FOREVER|angst]] in its wake. The plastic color was fixed to purple before the figure went into mass production, and thus far only one packaged sample sporting the "error" color has surfaced.<ref name="beige">[http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showpost.php?p=370804&postcount=6208 Sample of ''Universe'' Cyclonus with "error" color] at the Ozformers forums.</ref>

: A redeco of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Cyclonus and [[Nightstick (G1)#ChallengeAtCybertron|Nightstick]] was released in the "[[Challenge at Cybertron]]" multi-pack along with redecoes of [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#G1 Series|Rodimus]] and [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#G1 Series|Galvatron]]. This version of Cyclonus, like the ''Henkei!'' figure below, is intended to be accurate to the cartoon's colors, though it carries through the concept differently.

:The set was first released at [[Cybertron Con 2010]] in China and then in other South-East Asian markets by Hasbro Malaysia. A small number were also provided directly by Hasbro for the [[United Kingdom|UK]]'s [[Unofficial conventions|Auto Assembly 2010]].

: Released in the ninth wave of TakaraTomy's ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei!

: Like all ''Henkei'' toys, he features [[Vacuum metallizing|vac-metalized]] plastic, specifically his purple wings and much of the [[Nightstick (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|Nightstick]] Targetmaster weapon.

:This release of the ''Universe'' Cyclonus is a modified version from the Asia market-exclusive "Challenge at Cybertron" 3-pack, replacing his Decepticon sigil with a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]]. His wings are painted a more flat purple compared to the semi-gloss of the Universe "Challenge at Cybertron" release, and his lower thighs are less purple-tinged (matching his upper thighs better).

: The set also comes with a similarly-modified [[Nightstick (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Nightstick]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Rodimus]] from the "Challenge at Cybertron" set, the Autobot [[Matrix of Leadership]] accessory from the 2002 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#NewYearConvoy|New Year Special Convoy]] reissue of Generation 1 Optimus Prime, and "[[Rodimus vs. Cyclonus]]", a new comic book created specifically for this set by [[IDW Publishing]].

: Dubbed "Cyclonus Red Purple Clear Version", this [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Cyclonus mold (see above, boy they used the ''crap'' out of this mold) is cast in transparent purple plastics, emulating the scene in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' where Cyclonus is created from some dead Decepticon (no, we won't get into that here).

: Oddly, and unlike his box-mates, Cyclonus's deco is based on the Hasbro "Challenge at Cybertron"/"Battle in Space" release rather than the ''Henkei! Henkei!'' release.

:This version was only available in an [[e-HOBBY]] [[exclusive]] three-pack with clear-plastic versions of [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#United|Galvatron]], [[Nightstick (G1)#United|Nightstick]], and [[Scourge (G1)/toys#UnitedClear|Scourge]]. Preorders for the set were opened on [[December 13]], 2010, and closed on [[January 11]], 2011, and shipped in April.

:This figure was available with a Galvatron pin and ''[[Macrocosmic Seekers]]'' booklet directly from e-HOBBY, he was also released in Asian countries outside of Japan without said pin and booklet.

: Part of the fourth assortment of [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] [[Kreon]] [[Micro-Changer]]s, Cyclonus can be rebuilt into a space jet.

:[[File:KreO-Toy CyclonusLavKreon.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1|''(Variant version pictured)'']]
: Unusual for Kreons, there is actually a [[variant|running change]] in Cyclonus's original production run, leading to two distinctly different versions without any kind of packaging change. One version matches the [[stock photography]] on the bag-back (mostly), with a light lavender base plastic and leg-paint, which made him look a ''lot'' like Galvatron. The other is darker purple more matching the [[Cyclonus (G1)#Toys|original Cyclonus toy]]. Initially, the lavender version had only been found in bags marked "'''40131 36'''", while the darker version was found in ''all'' bag-number variations, ''including'' the 40131 batches.

: "Initially" because later releases of Collection 4 —which lack the individual-identifying bag codes— brought the lavender Cyclonus back, but this time with his cuffs painted dark purple to match the stock photography where the original lavender Cyclonus had lavender cuffs. Oy! He also has the 2014 [[retool]]ing to the arms the make them better as studs.

:He uses the [[Inferno (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Inferno]]-style helmet... just like Galvatron does! Awwww.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

: Released in the third wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Voyagers, Cyclonus is a [[redeco]] and hefty [[retool]] of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Silverbolt (G1)#Combiner Wars|Silverbolt]], transforming into a dark purple Cybertronian fighter craft surprisingly close to his original animation model, given existing mold constraints. He also gains two small tailfins, held in Cyclonus' exposed hands in vehicle mode, which plug into the [[5 mm post|5mm holes]] on Cyclonus' forearms to mimic the original character model's forearm fins. These tailfins can also be used as dagger weapons in robot mode. He includes a silver version of Silverbolt's rifle, which can be held in Cyclonus's or Galvatronus's hands, or mounted underneath Cyclonus's nosecone in fighter craft mode (although it won't insert fully, thanks to the placement of one of the nosecone's screws). The winged rear section of the rifle can be detached and used by Cyclonus as a shield.

: He also transforms into the torso of [[Galvatronus (CW)#Toys|Galvatronus]]; any combination of limb-bots counts as "Galvatronus", regardless of faction.

: As seen on the photo at the right, the vehicle mode's vertical fins are assembled incorrectly, with the control surface detailing facing forward. This can easily be fixed by popping them off their hinges and flipping them around.

:Like many Hasbro projects in the modern era, ''Combiner Wars'' Cyclonus had a "pretooled" alternate head that wound up unused. In the case of Cyclonus's body tooling, the alternate head was that of [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Notes|Starscream]].<ref>[https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/127888-tfss-50-live-update-now-open-to-formers-members-2012-and-on/?p=3441580 Post by Powered Convoy on The Allspark Forums, 13 February 2017]</ref>

:*''Accessories'': Rifle

:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 commemorating the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', Cyclonus is a redeco of his [[#Universe (2008)|2008 ''Universe'' Deluxe Class toy]], featuring transparent plastic on several parts (unlike the full-body translucent [[#United|''United'' release]]) to evoke his reformation in the movie. The translucent nosecone spike is now ''very'' soft, with the consistency of a "Wacky Wall-Walker" toy. Nightstick is absent from this figure, replaced with a translucent version of the [[musket laser]] originally included with ''Generations'' [[Kup (G1)/toys#Generations|Sergeant Kup]], though lacking the ball-jointed [[C joint]] of the original. And for the first time, this mold's left hand has been retooled to have a [[5 mm post|5mm fisthole]], though [[:File:TF-Platinum-Edition-Cyclonus-Stock.jpg|stock photography]] incorrectly shows the original left fist.

:Cyclonus was released as part of three-pack with [[Scourge (G1)/toys#ArmadaOfCyclonus|Scourge]] and "[[Sweep (G1)#Generations|Decepticon Sweeps]]", named "Armada of Cyclonus". Despite officially being touted as "available online" by Hasbro at [[BotCon 2016]], thereby implying a "shared exclusive" between multiple online retailers for the United States market (which would usually include the likes of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], [[BigBadToyStore]], Entertainment Earth, and [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]), it was ultimately only ever listed and stocked by two US-based online stores, namely TFSource and Scramble Core, both of whom obtain their stock through Asian vendors. The set ''did'' see a somewhat more widespread release in Hasbro's Asian markets (most notably Singapore) and, more surprisingly, was even officially released in Canada (where it was sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and also made available via [[Walmart]]'s Canadian website, though never sold in stores) and the United Kingdom (where it was available via the UK [[Toys"R"Us]] website). It was also listed very early on by Amazon's Spanish subsidiary, but was ultimately never stocked by them.

: Released in the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' Voyagers to commemorate the 35th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', Cyclonus is a 7-inch-tall mold that is unprecedentedly accurate to his appearance in the Generation 1 cartoon. His reveal press release describes him as having been reformatted from "[[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]]/[[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]/Both/[[Life Spark|Neither]]". Mechanical details are sculpted into the seams of his shoulder swivels, visible when his arms hinge at the side. His oxidating laser can be plugged into the top of his jet mode, similar to his ''Universe'' toy. His jet mode can also deploy landing gear at the nosecone and thruster areas.

:His [[Hasbro]] stock photos are mistransformed, with the hands not hidden away in vehicle mode, and the wings only half-folded into shape behind the shoulders in robot mode. Additionally, the image of his vehicle mode on the back of his packaging shows his Oxidating Laser plugged into a port that doesn't exist.

:If one folds either of Cyclonus' hands into his forearms to reveal the [[5 mm post|5mm-compatible thrusters]] for his vehicle mode, it is possible to attach weapons with a backward-facing 5mm peg onto the wrist-nozzle in a way similar to his ''Universe'' figure. However, his Oxidating Laser lacks the backward-facing peg that would allow the weapon to point forward while pegged in.

:Cyclonus' unpaintable plastic, in both silver and dull purple, is notoriously prone to [[photodegradation]] in certain conditions, causing it to have a visibly yellowed tone. One can easily tell if this has happened by comparing the color of his gray plastic to the adjacent silver paint (which unfortunately has a tendency to scrape off his thighs due to transformation.)

:Cyclonus comes with a [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]] card that "[[Source:Golden Disk destinies|reveals a possible destiny of a key character]]", with each character having three possible destiny variants. Cyclonus was later heavily retooled into ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Evolution (2023)|Legacy: Evolution]]'' [[Metalhawk (G1)#Legacy|Metalhawk]] and ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Legacy: United|Legacy: United]]'' [[Ferak#Legacy|Ferak]].

:A ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' add-on figure to ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'', this version of Cyclonus is a redeco of the [[#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|above ''Kingdom'' toy]] in a [[#Toys|"Generation 1" toy-inspired]] color scheme, complete with an optional [[sticker|sticker sheet]] in a similar fashion to [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#Generations Selects|''Selects'' Galvatron]].

:Cyclonus comes with a redecoed blaster and his little [[Battle Master]] buddy [[Nightstick (G1)#Generations Selects|Nightstick]], a redeco of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[Blowpipe (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Blowpipe]]. The set includes Blowpipe's original blast effect, which can be split apart into two pieces, and the one included with his redeco, ''Siege'' [[Caliburst (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Caliburst]], both now in purple.

:Initial sample photos depicted lower leg stickers that would block the jet landing gear, but stickers were properly cut on the final release. The final sheet includes alternate Decepticon insignias to better mimic the G1 toy's jet mode—though these would then be upside down in robot mode. Surprisingly, the stickers behind his cockpit are designed to match preproduction samples of Cyclonus' toy, as evidenced by the correctly oriented orange streaks that match the wing stickers.

:There were widespread reports of this piece having loose shoulder joints, making it difficult to pose it with frontward-raised arms. Multiple specimens also surfaced with the two fuselage attachment clips having been molded from two noticeably non-matching shades of purple plastic.

:Cyclonus & Nightstick were revealed on [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] [[Australia]] prior to their official reveal by only over 12 hours.

:Released in the third wave of 2026, ''[[Studio Series]]'' Cyclonus is a retool and redeco of his ''Kingdom'' figure, providing a more movie-accurate appearance with a new head, elbows, blaster, and almost entirely new legs.

:Instead of depicting Cyclonus's own transformation sequence, the back of the box reuses the [[:File:Studio Series Backdrop Art - Heralds of Unicron.jpg|"Heralds of Unicron" backdrop art]] meant for [[Scourge (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Scourge]], which shows [[Kickback (G1)|Kickback]] and [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]] turning into [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]].

:A PVC figurine of Cyclonus was part of the eighth act of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' series in 2002. Each case of twelve PVCs had two Cyclonuses; one in full-color, the other pewter-finish.

:The color version of Cyclonus came with the right leg of the Act's "build-a-figure", [[Scorponok (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Scorponok]]. These parts could be in either full color or pewter, packed at a ratio of six color parts per four pewter parts.

:The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms; shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue.

This release was cast in transparent red plastic and painted over (in a more lavender tone than the ''SCF'' version's light blue), leaving his eyes and back of his head unpainted to try for a [[light-piping]] effect, though the result ends up on him having a visor. The mold was also modified to have the pointed edges on his horns and wing-tips rounded off [[for safety reasons]].

He only comes with his blaster molded after Blitzwing's Gyro-Blaster Rifle, which Sideswipe, Jetfire, and Viewfinder also used.

:Sold as part of the 10th wave of [[Blokees]]' Transformers ''Galaxy Version'' series of blind-boxed kits, this Cyclonus is a snap-together kit that forms a 4" robot with 22 points of articulation. He comes with his signature Oxidating laser, which can be wielded in either hand. As advertised in the box, Cyclonus has a pull rate of 1 in every 9 boxes, or three times across four cases.

:Like his wavemates, Cyclonus is built on a "Standard Body" skeleton shared with other Galaxy/Shining Version figures in the line, but with different body pieces to make them distinct. He also features updated joints and articulation points; his limbs include two types of preassembled joints: a single-hinge joint for the elbows and a double joint for the knees. Additionally, he has a ball-jointed waist and a double-sided ball-and-socket neck joint.

:If you're a speed builder, be mindful when attaching the pre-assembled joints; Unlike the symmetrical joints from earlier waves, the pegs on both ends of these joints are designed to connect to specific pieces; The tabs with slightly smaller holes are intended for the upper arms and thighs, while the regular tabs are meant for the forearms and lower legs. While an incorrect knee joint assembly may cause it to very slightly lean when standing straight or in an A-stance, an incorrect elbow assembly won't be noticeably affected unless you're looking very closely. Also, because the newly designed knee joints are made to fit the narrow gaps in the thighs and lower legs, they are incompatible with joints from previous releases, including those used for the elbows.

BluJayWarrior: /* Transformers Metrobase */

[[File:Matrix back.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|No wonder [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] [[The Transformers: The Movie|couldn't open it]].]]

'''China''', natively known as '''Zhōngguó''' (中国), is the most populated country on [[Earth]], occupying land to the west of [[Japan]]. Its capital is [[Beijing]] and other prominent cities include [[Shanghai]] and [[Hong Kong]]. In the early 21st century of most universes, it is formally known as the '''People's Republic of China'''.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
After the initial [[Decepticon]] threat was repulsed, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] wrote in [[Spike's diary|his journal]] that "all of the world's governments" were assisting the [[Autobot]]s' attempts to return to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. This would presumably include China. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 3}}

====Japanese cartoon continuity====
=====''Car Robots'' cartoon=====
:''See [[#2001 Robots in Disguise cartoon|2001 Robots in Disguise cartoon]], below.''

=====''Kiss Players''=====
[[Marissa Faireborn]]'s childhood friend [[Shaoshao Li]] was a typical example of a Chinese-American. A Chinese-American who always wears silk and a padlock around her neck.

=====''Super-God Masterforce'' cartoon=====
[[File:Cancer superdragonfist.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Remember, kids, China is a strange place and looks funny!]]
Orphans [[Cancer (G1)|Cancer]] and [[Chang]] were raised in mainland China and attended martial arts classes together. Cancer was doted on by their master, who taught him the ancient secret of the "[[Chōryūken|Super Dragon ''Fist'']]", a devastating ''kick'' attack. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Save Cancer!?}}

After [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]] had arrived from space to join the [[Decepticon]] forces on Earth, [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] appeared on top of the [[Great Wall of China]], telling world leaders they would have three hours to surrender, or else he and BlackZarak would destroy [[Tokyo]]. {{storylink|BlackZarak - Destroyer from Space}}

When Cancer, who had joined the Decepticons, learned that BlackZarak was going to attack China, he stole a helicopter and flew there to warn them, with limited success. Zarak devastated Cancer's old home city before the Autobots arrived to drive him off. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Save Cancer!?}}

=====''Zone'' cartoon=====
An upgraded [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] would assault China in a search for [[Zodiac]] energy, smashing the Great Wall and breathing fire on the counterattacking military force. {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

===2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon===
[[File:Ultimate Robot Warrior Statuemissiles.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Well we knew some Buddhists ignored the "don't kill people" rule but ''damn''.]]
China's [[Cave of the Dragon]] was the location of an [[O-Part]], and a place where [[Kenneth Onishi|Doctor Kenneth Onishi]] spent a lot of time. This site, of great historical importance and full of ancient Buddhist relics that could easily be damaged, was considered an appropriate place to film a movie.

Meanwhile, [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]] chased a red car across the entire Great Wall of China. You scary bastard. {{storylink|The Ultimate Robot Warrior}}
{{-}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
The [[Han Dynasty]] ruled over China for 400 years until [[221 BC]]. {{storylink|Crisis Intervention|Revolutionaries #1 timeline}}

In the mid-2000s, [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] and [[Grindcore (G1)|Grindcore]] attacked China's [[Jiangxi Province]], intending to strip-mine its [[Ore-13|Ultra-Energon]] (and the rest of Earth's Ultra-Energon) to help the [[Expansion]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Doubledealer}} An [[Autobot]] tactical unit thwarted them, in no small part thanks to [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] hitting them over and over. Straxus and Grindcore ceased to function with the failure of [[Nova Prime]]'s plan, and presumably crumbled into dust. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

In [[2008]], the Decepticons attacked China's capital of [[Beijing]]. [[Skywarp (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Skywarp]] claimed he'd killed just under half the population—8,715,000 people—in an hour. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 6|All Hail Megatron #6}}

Years later, China got involved in the Transformers alliance racket and hired the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] to defend its borders from other Transformers and hostile nations; it was paid them with artificially-created Energon. The Predacons were dispatched when an Autobot/[[North Korea]] conflict was getting too close to the Chinese border, but the nation lost their Energon-manufacturing ability when [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|an Autobot/American agent]] took out the factory at Dandong. {{storylink|International Incident Part 3: "Hawk Among the Sparrows"|Hawk Among the Sparrows}} {{storylink|International Incident Part 4: "All My Sins Remembered"|All My Sins Remembered}}

When Transformers returned to Earth after a long absence, China was one of the factions that contributed to the [[Earth Defense Command]]'s arsenal of countermeasures. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 2: Detonation Boulevard|Detonation Boulevard}} [[Onyx]] held the [[Enigma of Combination]] at a facility in [[Wanmu]], China. When Transformers surfaced in [[Tokyo]], the EDC had to call up President [[Xi Jinping]] and urge him not to outright invade Japan. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part Two: Vs.|Vs.}}

When [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] declared [[Earth]] his protectorate, the [[People's Liberation Army Mecha Force]], led by [[Zilong Qian|Pilot (First Class) Zilong Qian]], responded. Qian led eighteen transforming jets reverse-engineered from Cybertronian technology in an attack on a group of Transformers in Beijing, driving them off. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}} Following the engagement, the [[President of the United States]] allowed the PLA Mecha Force to operate on U.S. soil as part of a grander alliance. {{storylink|New Worlds Order}}

===''Animated'' cartoon===
According to [[Isaac Sumdac (Animated)|Isaac Sumdac]], the [[Sound Wave]] toys were made in China. {{storylink|Human Error, Part I}}

===Live-action film series===
====Movies====
=====''Transformers'' film=====
Following the destruction of a [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] and the subsequent hacking of the U.S. Defense Network, China was pointed to as one of the nations that might have dunnit. [[United States Navy|U.S. naval forces]] were increased in the [[Yellow Sea]] as a result, and Chinese naval forces responded in kind; both navies began to approach cruise missile range of each other.

Once [[Tom Banachek]] informed the Pentagon about the alien nature of the threat, U.S. forces were pulled back. {{storylink|Transformers (film)|Transformers}}

=====''Revenge of the Fallen'' film=====
After receiving word that there might be a Decepticon hiding in [[Shanghai]], [[NEST]] was deployed there to take them out. The Chinese Government used the cover story of a chemical spill to clear the area of all civilians so that NEST could operate in secrecy. The combined human and Autobot forces fought against [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] while causing huge collateral damage to the city. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

=====''Age of Extinction'' film=====
The technology company [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated]] had a factory in [[Guangzhou]], China. When the Galvatron, [[Joshua Joyce]]'s prized prototype military drone seemingly malfunctioned in a fight with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], Joyce ordered KSI's Transformer drones program to be moved to their China facility in order to evade detection by regular U.S. authorities. KSI also planned to detonate a [[seed]], acquired from Transformer bounty hunter [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] in exchange for Prime, in an uninhabited part of the [[Gobi Desert]] in China in order to generate more [[Living metal#Live-action film series|transformium]] for creating synthetic Transformers. However, Galvatron, in fact the revenant Decepticon leader [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] planned to steal the seed and detonate it in a populous city, beginning a new campaign to wipe out humankind and create a new Decepticon army. To stop this, Optimus Prime and the Autobots and their human allies traveled in a stolen detachable section of Lockdown's [[Knight Ship]] to rendezvous with Joyce and acquire the seed. When Galvatron subsequently activated on his own and turned KSI's drones into Decepticons, Joyce fled with [[Su Yueming]] and [[Darcy Tirrel]] to [[Hong Kong]].

The Autobots tried to pick up the seed from Joyce, but Galvatron's Decepticon shot their ship down, causing some of the Autobots and humans to fall down into Hong Kong while the others crash-landed aboard the ship in the [[Wulong Valley]]. The streets of Hong Kong subsequently became a battlefield between the Autobots, the Decepticons, and Lockdown, who had returned to Earth to recapture Optimus Prime, his bounty. With the aid of the humans, Prime finally defeated Lockdown and the corrupt CIA agent [[Harold Attinger]] and destroyed the last of the KSI Decepticon drones. The Autobots then regrouped in another part of Hong Kong with the Chinese military while Galvatron departed for parts unknown, swearing to meet Prime again. In the aftermath, Chinese jets continued to attack Lockdown's hovering ship while Optimus Prime set the Dinobots free, ordered the other Autobots to protect the Yeager family, and departed for space to safeguard the seed and find his [[Creator]]s. {{storylink|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction}}

====IDW movie comics====
From [[1898]]-[[1901]], China was in the grip of the [[Boxer Rebellion]] against colonial influences. [[Theodore Joseph Wells]] of [[Sector Seven]] was sent to China in [[1900]] to retrieve a scepter and use it to defeat something called "the Shangdi", only to get caught in the Rebellion: he was saved by [[Lou Hoover]]. She and her husband, future [[President of the United States]] [[Herbert Hoover]], were making the most of being trapped in Tianjin to broadcast information on Boxer movements to American forces. {{storylink|Irreplaceable}}

Decepticon reinforcements in 2007 made a landing in China. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3|Alliance #3}} Years later, the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] was spotted in [[Shanghai]], prompting [[William Lennox]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s [[NEST]] team to move out. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

While on a covert [[NEST]] patrol in Dalian, China, the Autobots [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] broke their covers to save the workers of an oil processing plant from a fire. Just before departing after a successful rescue, the pair spotted two streaking comets in the sky overhead, which promptly revealed themselves to be the Decepticons [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and Astrotrain. They killed the two Autobots and all the humans in the area to keep their presence a secret, and Shockwave then instructed Astrotrain to begin gathering building materials. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

NEST detected energon readings in [[Beijing]], suggesting the Decepticons were setting up [[Pillar]]s there. {{storylink|Transformers Dark of the Moon Annual 2012}}

====''Transformers Metrobase''====
[[File:Bejing NEST Base.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Bejing NEST Base.jpg]]
As early as in ancient times, Chinese astronomers observed an unusual star in the night sky. In 1970, China launched its first artificial satellite, which also transmitted signals into space in search of intelligent life. [[Metrobase (Movie)|Metrobase]] responded to humanity. After a voyage spanning half a century, Metrobase landed in [[Beijing]] with assistance from Optimus Prime and Chinese authorities. Upon arriving on Earth, it alternated its mode to become the Beijing [[NEST]] Base, assisting humans and the [[Autobot]]s in their joint fight against the [[Decepticon]]s. {{storylink|Transformers Metrobase}}

===Aligned continuity family===
====''Prime'' cartoon====
The [[Trypticon (WFC)|''Nemesis'']] was spotted in the airspace of China's [[Inner Mongolia]] autonomous region. {{storylink|Sick Mind}}

There were several UFO sightings in China, including an unidentified object shutting down a Chinese airport, and other UFOs over [[Chongqing]]. {{storylink|One Shall Fall}}

While [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] was uncovering the [[Star Saber (Thirteen)|Star Saber]], he had [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] lead the [[Autobot]]s on a wild goose chase to a location in China. {{storylink|Legacy (episode)|Legacy}}

====Titan ''Prime'' comic====
[[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] lured [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] to [[Zhejiang Province]] and used a [[neuron refractor]] to transfer his mind into [[Lin-Che]], a local human. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.8|The Mind Trap!}} The events attracted the attention of [[MECH]], who sent [[Novo|Agent Novo]] to investigate. He hid inside the refractor as [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] took it back to their base. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.9|The Novo Incident}}

====''Rescue Bots'' cartoon====
Part of the [[Scrubmite|Scrubber Initiative]] was handled by a lab in [[Faxian]], China by [[Meili Szeto|Dr. Szeto]].

==Notes==
*In the real world, China has a long and storied relationship with the ''Transformers'' brand. This is due in no small part to its plentiful and inexpensive manufacturing plants, as well as the frequency with which molds will disappear from those plants only later to turn up in the form of [[knockoff]]s. In Japanese ''Transformers'' fiction, Chinese characters feature prominently (albeit subject to wildly inaccurate Japanese stereotypes of Chinese culture).
*The most significant impact China had on ''Transformers'' was spending $37m on watching the [[Transformers (film)|first Bay film]]. That made Hollywood sit up and court China for ever more money. So when you hear about China's importance for American film franchises, praise/curse Optimus.<ref>[https://www.forbes.com/sites/robcain/2017/06/11/transformers-gears-up-for-another-1-billion-box-office-bounty/#659ff09e2325 Forbes: "'Transformers' Gears Up For Another $1 Billion Box Office Bounty"]</ref>
*As part of a move to raise the profile of ''Transformers'' in China, parts of ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Transformers: Age of Extinction]]'' were filmed there. A reality show titled ''[[Transformers 4 Chinese Actors Talent Search Reality Show]]'' was used to select four budding actors to take roles in the film.
*They also regularly play host to [[Cybertron Con]], and from September [[2013]], the [[Transformers China Exhibition]] toured the country.

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

[[File:Bumper-comic.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|I have a name!]]
'''Bumper''' is a young and inexperienced Autobot, new to the war, but eager to do his part against the [[Decepticon]]s. He is in the interesting position of looking ''up'' to [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], which makes Bumblebee feel more awkward than normal. Bumper has the worrying tendency to latch on to ''any'' potential role model that pays him mind, which sometimes leads to him biting off more than he can chew to impress them. While he often finds himself in over his head, Bumper's determination and flashes of courage may take him far one day.

==Fiction==
===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[File:SkyfireIssue BrawnBumperDebate.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|left|Bumper liked Bumblebee before it was cool.]]
Bumper was part of the crew of the shuttle ''[[Orion]]'', under the command of Bumblebee. The ship was sent to [[Earth]] from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] after [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] was overthrown to bring news and supplies to the Autobots left on the human planet. Unfortunately, on their routine mission, the ''Orion''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s crew crossed paths with one of Shockwave's creations, the super-clone [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]. {{storylink|Night of the Combaticons}} After Bumblebee decided to form a temporary alliance with [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], Bumper defended his decision to the doubtful [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]]. Bumper then joined the party that attacked Sunstorm in order to attach an inhibitor onto him, aiming to drain the destructive energies that he produced. {{storylink|Skyfire (issue)|Skyfire}}

Later, he and [[Warpath (G1)|Warpath]] were sent to retrieve several Autobots that Starscream had previously deactivated and "stored" at the bottom of a lake. They were interrupted by a heavily-armed platoon of [[Earth Defense Command|EDC]] troops under the command of [[Marissa Faireborn]], {{storylink|The Omega Effect}} who rounded them up within a transport hold and took them to an underground facility. Worried about their predicament, Warpath asked Bumper what was to become of them. Unfortunately, Bumper was as clueless as he was. {{storylink|Atonement}} The Autobots eventually arrived at a secret base, where their offline members were reactivated. The EDC explained that they needed the Autobots' help to investigate the disappearance of an entire town of people in [[San Desto]], [[California]].

[[File:Extermination BombshellBumperShockwave.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|right|Gee-whiz that’s some interesting foreshadowing! I sure hope [[Pat Lee|nobody]] bankrupts the company with financial incompetence before this plot thread can develop!]]
Bumper was part of the squad sent in to San Desto, instantly earning the disdain of [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] (though Sunstreaker thinks that way about everyone). Bumper took [[EDC Night Force Unit|a squad of EDC troopers]] into a [[Aztec Theatres|movie theater]] to investigate an energy signature emanating from it. Inside, they were ambushed by the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] and captured. {{storylink|Infestation (Dreamwave)|Infestation}} When their captors left to take care of their new breed of [[Insecticon clone|Insecticlones]], Bumper managed to break free and took a [[cerebro-shell]]. He then hid in the lab until the Insecticons returned, now with [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] and Sunstreaker as their prisoners. Fearing that Bumper had fled to the surface, the Insecticons left once more, allowing Bumper to free his captured teammates. Bumper then used the taken cerebro-shell to disable [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] and shut down his mind-control network over both his human slaves and the Insecticlones, putting an end to the Insecticons' machinations in San Desto. {{storylink|Extermination}}

Bumper and the Autobots left the EDC behind to rejoin the rest of their group. {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}} They arrived at the future site of Autobot City, the construction of which was being supervised by Prowl. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

{{note|It is likely that Bumper's heroism was not all it seemed: Bombshell was shown to be tinkering with his head, his escape was so convenient that it could well have been engineered, Bumper was the last to see [[EDC Night Force Unit|Dorry and Cruz]] alive, and the final panel of the comic hints that there is a traitor within the group (a prominent car registration plate reads "TR8R-1")...}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
[[File:MegsOrigin2 Bumper.jpg|left|upright=0.65|thumb|Oh, like you live in a mansion.]]
Before the war, Bumper was part of stakeout team "Panorama 3" along with [[Fastback (G1)|Fastback]]. They had the bad luck of being the ones who hit the right location for [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron's]] next illegal pit-fight, and the even worse luck of bearing witness to his first fateful meeting with [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]]. Their transmissions were jammed, and they were captured, interrogated, and killed in rather short order. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}}

They were given a fairly elaborate and rather well-attended funeral. They rated [[Alpha Trion]]'s attendance, apparently. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}}

His name was listed as a choice for an Autobot mission. [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] got the nod instead. {{storylink|Spotlight: Wheelie}}
{{-}}

===2019 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[Arcee/Greenlight: Run|''Transformers'' #18]]}}

Bumper was an enthusiastic rookie member of [[Security Operations]] who saw his first deployment in the aftermath of the [[Tether]]'s fall. Partnered with [[Strongarm (G1)|Strongarm]], the pair faced off with a couple of looters trying to take advantage of the chaos caused by the disaster. When [[Gauge]] was shot by one of the looters, her mentor [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] rushed their position, downing one and sending [[Gutcruncher (G1)|the other]] running. Bumper moved in and arrested the [[Singe|defeated looter]]. {{storylink|Arcee/Greenlight: Run}}

[[File:Swindles BumperMindwipe.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|right|For pity's sake, LEAVE BUMPER'S BRAIN ALONE!]]
Bumper and Strongarm were assigned to a unit under [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] and observed as [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] forcefully interrogated Singe for information on [[The Rise]]. This yielded a lead, and Bumper was part of the operation to infiltrate [[Swindle's]]. Being the least conspicuous, Bumper was chosen to scope the illegal establishment out as the others waited outside for word on any suspicious activity. Inside, Bumper spotted [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]] and [[Whisper (G1)|Visper]] consorting with [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]]. Prowl radioed for him to leave before he was noticed, but Mindwipe intercepted Bumper and hypnotized him just as the others breached the door. Bumper attacked Prowl in an entranced rage but was non-lethally taken down by the experienced officer. Prowl told Strongarm to restrain Bumper until Mindwipe's brainwashing wore off, and to chastise him for not following Prowl's instructions to the letter when he came back to his senses. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Swindle's|Swindle's}}

Bumper worked crowd control after [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] ordered the captive [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] to be paraded through the streets. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Prisoners|Prisoners}} He later stood guard in front of the [[Senate]] building as Sentinel Prime gave a speech denouncing the [[Decepticon|Ascenticon]] faction. Upon seeing the massive throng of people protesting outside, Bumper commented to an annoyed Prowl that there wasn't enough security personnel on-site to maintain control if things went wrong. Bumper watched as the crowd soon parted to allow [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and his fellow Ascenticon senators to enter the building. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: We Have Deceived You|We Have Deceived You}}

[[File:WarWorldPrime SideswipeSavesBumper.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1| Please... my son. He's very sick]]
After the newly-rebranded "Decepticons" seized the Senate hall and its occupants, Bumper was involved in the operation to take it back. Before being deployed, he was once again reprimanded by Prowl for his mistake with Mindwipe. After being told off by Strongarm, Prowl told them it would be rewarding if they ever managed to please him, a statement Bumper later agreed to, much to Strongarm's chagrin. When [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], [[Groove (G1)|Groove]], [[Backstreet (G1)|Backstreet]] and [[Chainclaw (G1)|Chainclaw]] escaped the Senate, Bumper was there to witness it beside Strongarm and [[Pointblank]]. Unfortunately, Chainclaw was not fast enough to escape the enemy fire and was impaled by a slug from [[Clench (G1)|Clench's]] [[rail gun]]. Defying orders, Bumper jumped through the window of their hideout to rescue him, only for Chainclaw to be decapitated and killed by the next round of fire. [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] jumped into the fray to rescue Bumper just before a third round of fire sliced off the little bot's arm. Just afterwards, Clench was blown up by [[Flak (G1)|Flak]] and [[Sidetrack (G1)|Sidetrack]]. When the smoke cleared, Sideswipe was seen holding Bumper's unconscious body as Strongarm and Pointblank rushed towards them. {{storylink|War World: Prime|Prime}}

[[File:TestFlightI BumperNewArm.jpg|upright=1.35|thumb|right|"Who the hell is Bumper?"]]
Bumper recovered and was back on duty alongside Sideswipe and Strongarm as they provided security for an experiment [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] performed involving [[Jumpstream]]. He had received a new arm to replace the one lost during the Senate hall fight and proudly displayed it as "battle damage" to Sideswipe. Annoyed with Bumper's newfound hero worship of him, Sideswipe told him to go do a perimeter sweep of the building, which the rookie eagerly agreed to. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight I|Test Flight I}}

Bumper was on sentry duty when the Decepticons attacked [[Crystal City]]. He and his group opened fire at the horde of enemies at their gates until an explosion destroyed their high ground and they were confronted by some of [[Strika's Heavies]]. Sideswipe was determined to make a last stand, with the impressionable and terrified Bumper ready to back him up. However, Strongarm reminded Sideswipe of his responsibilities and he instead told the others to retreat while he covered them. Bumper and the others fell back to a secure bunker deeper within the city. {{storylink|A Dust of Crystals}}

After the Autobots began their trek to [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]], they were corralled by a Decepticon artillery barrage into the path of a horde of [[rust worm]]s. {{storylink|Radical Time}} Bumper joined a group led by [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] that attempted to scout an escape route, but they were cut off and turned back by airborne Decepticons that enforced the perimeter. They returned to the larger Autobot force and fought off the rust worms until a repurposed [[Insecticon clone]] swarm arrived to feast on the worms, allowing the Autobots to continue onward. {{storylink|End of Time}}

[[File:FateOfCybertron SideswipeBumper.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Humper?]]
Surviving a confrontation with Megatron and an [[imploder]] next, the Autobots finally arrived at Darkmount and began preparing for an inevitable Decepticon attack to prevent them from leaving the planet. Hunkered down behind ramparts and awaiting the battle, Bumper began nervously humming, which Sideswipe was initially annoyed by. The bigger Autobot quickly apologized and told Bumper to do whatever he pleased in the face of the coming fight. When the Decepticons attacked, Bumper and the others held the line until [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] made a last stand, buying the others time to board the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' and blast off. Leaving Cybertron behind and headed for the [[Winged Moon]], Bumper cheerfully suggested to Sideswipe and Strongarm that they ask Ironhide to join the [[Senate Guard|Prime Guard]]. Sideswipe expressed hesitance, but Bumper assured his friend that he had his back. On approach to the Winged Moon, Bumper and the other Autobots listened to [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] deliver a speech about their future out among the stars. {{storylink|Transformers: Fate of Cybertron|Fate of Cybertron}}

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Cliffjumper'''{{sic}} (Minicar, [[1984]])}}</ul>
{{toydesigner|[[Masaki Maruyama]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Sold in the first year of the [[Hasbro]] ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' line, the toy that has come to be known as "Bumper" transforms into a "penny racer"-proportioned {{w|Mazda Familia}} 1500XG. It is one of the rarest toys in the original line and commands a pretty decent sum on the secondary market, due to its very unusual release.

: This toy did not come on its own card, having only been found packed on Hasbro [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Cliffjumper]] cards in 1984<ref>[http://www.toyarchive.com/Transformers/BumblejumperMOC.html "Bumblejumper MOC" at Super Toy Archive]</ref> (it's not impossible that he was also available on [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Bumblebee]] cards, but to this day, no packaged example has surfaced). It is unknown just how many cases had a "Bumper" in them; presumably not many. In fact, this toy has ''never'' had an "official" ''Transformers'' release as its own character from [[Hasbro]] or [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]. The full story of this toy's inexplicable release is still unknown, and it's highly likely the mystery may never be solved, although a few factors point to this toy being intentionally added to the line by Hasbro early on<ref>[http://www.fredsworkshop.com/vbumblejump2.html "Bumblejumper is not a mistake!!" at Fred's Complete Transformers Variants and Variations Page!]</ref>, though not likely as his own character (see [[#Notes|Notes]]).

: The only official separate-character ''Transformers'' releases of the mold were the versions released by [[Estrela]] in Brazil, which got unique painted packaging art and a full bio, potentially taken from a scrapped Hasbro release. It was known simply as "Sedan" and was cast in four color schemes, first two as the [[Sedan (Robocar)|"Robocar" Sedan]], then two more as the heroic [[Sedan (Optimus)|"Optimus" Sedan]].<ref>[http://www.toyarchive.com/Transformers/Brazilian/MiniCars.html "Brazilian Transformers" at Super Toy Archive]
</ref><ref>[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/mini/bluebump_template.html "Brazilian Blue Sedan (Bumblejumper)" at TF-1.com]</ref>

: The mold is originally from Takara's ''[[Microman]] [[Micro Change]]'' line, sold as the "MC-04 Mini CAR Robo 02 Familia 1500XG", available in yellow, red and blue.<ref>[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/pretf/redbumper_template.html "Microchange MC-04 Red Mazda Familia 1500XG (Bumblejumper)" at TF-1.com]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20230208140552/https://www.micromanforever.com/MC04MiniCAR.htm "1983 New Microman - Micro Change Series MC04 Mini CAR Robo 01-07 " at micromanforever.com (archived)]</ref>

: For years, the toy was referred to as "Bumblejumper" by fans, a {{w|portmanteau}} of "'''Bumble'''bee" and "Cliff'''jumper'''", since he was believed to have been packaged on the cards for both of those [[Mini-Vehicle|Minicars]]. In the early 1990s, the shortened and more ''Transformers''-like name "Bumper" began to propagate through the fandom. The name was [[Canonizing|made "official"]] for the toy when it was used in the first issue of Dreamwave's ongoing ''Transformers'' comic in 2004.

:''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'' Bumper is the first official toy of the character to be sold under the ''Transformers'' brand; it only took 41 years! He is a [[retool]]ing of [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Studio Series|''Studio Series'' Bumblebee]], with a new head based on the toy above. He transforms into a vaguely VW Type 1-ish, Penny-Racer-proportioned car, with the roof and rear of a Mazda Familia 1500XG, in 23 steps. He includes a blaster which can be pegged onto the back of both modes.

: His deco is only slightly changed from Bumblebee, primarily to make him resemble the original toy more than Bumblebee's toon-inspired deco. All of the gray plastic and paint has been replaced with jet black, his headlamps have been painted over in black to emulate his 1984 deco, plus his Autobot sigil is now silver-bordered. The yellow plastic is also brighter shade than Bumblebee's. On top of that, his pistol has been painted a darker gunmetal instead of bright silver.

: He was only available as part of a box set alongside [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Age of the Primes|Ultra Magnus]], [[Horri-Bull#Age of the Primes|Horri-Bull]], and [[Nemesis Prime (Animated)#Age of the Primes|Nemesis Prime]], which was made available for pre-order on [[June 6]], [[2025]].

==Notes==
[[File:RobocarSedanBoxart.jpg|thumb|Estrela's "Sedan" card art. Probably not evidence of a lost Hasbro character.]]
* It has been speculated that the Bumper mold was at some point intended to actually be his own character in the early development of the [[1984]] ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' toyline, but if this were ever true, the plans were dropped ''very'' early. His back-of-the-head sticker is the same as Cliffjumper's rather than a new design (the three ''[[Micro Change]]'' "penny racer" molds had stickers with their car model names in Japanese; the tech-detailing stickers were created specifically for ''Transformers''), there is no mention of a seventh Mini Car in [[Bob Budiansky]]'s early notes, no lost [[bio]]/[[Tech Spec]], and no original art of "Bumper" has been found in Hasbro's archives.
** The [[package art]] and bio on [[Estrela]]'s Brazilian release of the mold, [[Sedan (Robocar)|Sedan]], has been cited as possible re-use from Hasbro materials. But Estrela created new art for ''all'' of its releases, both molds never released by Hasbro (namely the [[Eletrix]] and [[Bat-Robô]]) ''and'' the ones that were, recreating the original art as close as possible but omitting the Autobot symbols, replacing them with Estrela's stickers. Plus the bios for the [[Topspin (G1)#Toys|Topspin]] and [[Twin Twist (G1)#Toys|Twin Twist]] redecoes [[Salt-Man X]] and [[Salt-Man Z]] are wholly new, despite established Hasbro bios for the molds already existing.
* An almost-realized [[BotCon]] [[exclusive]] from [[Fun Publications]] was a redeco of ''Prime'' [[Rumble (WFC)#Prime|Rumble]]/[[Frenzy (WFC)#Prime|Frenzy]] into Bumper.<ref>[http://www.toycollectors.com.au/bc14/bc14br.html BotCon 2014 attendee report]</ref>
* A [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Buzzworthy_Bumblebee|2021 Bumblebee toy]] transforms into an accurately-sculpted and correctly-colored remake of Bumper's original Generation 1/''Choro Q'' alternate mode, but with a Bumblebee head.

{{toydesigner|[[Masaki Maruyama]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Mark Watts]] (packaging artist)}}

: Bumblebee's original toy, released in 1984 and in Japan in 1985, originally hails from the ''[[Micro Change]]'' series, transforming into a "penny-racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Type 1. He was available through the first three years of the ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]'' series, the entire duration of the [[Mini-Vehicle]] assortment, the only 1984 Mini Vehicle to do so.

: 'Bee has a ''lot'' of minor variations. Throughout 1984 and 1985, Bumblebee was produced in both yellow and red (as was [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Cliffjumper]]), a move meant to "make the line look bigger" according to former [[Hasbro]] R&D Vice President [[George Dunsay]].<ref name="dunsay">[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php Interview with George Dunsay at TFArchive.com]</ref> For his 1984 release, both color versions had an Autobot sigil on the roof/chest. In 1985, this was replaced by a [[rubsign]]. The rubsign remained on the 1986 release, though he was only released in yellow that year. The original version of Bumblebee also features the "Dunlop" brand name stamped on his tires.

: Packaging-wise, there are several more variations. In 1984, the Mini Vehicles were packaged in vehicle mode. Come 1985, a picture of the toy in vehicle mode was added to the front of the card, and ''later'' the toys proper were packaged in robot mode. From this point on, the Mini Vehicles were also part of two different pack-in promotions; the [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]] in 1985, and reflective [[iron-on patch]]es in 1986. The Mini-spies packed in with Bumblebee and Cliffjumper only came in white, one of the three possible colors for the add-ons.

: For his 1985 Japanese release, Bumblebee came in a small box rather than on a card. He was available in both red and yellow, both versions having the rubsign rather than the foil faction symbol. He was also released in the 1986 assortment, but only in yellow. This is why he has two ID numbers in Japan; in 1986, the line switched from a single-series number listing to splitting it up between "C" (Cybertron/Autobot) and "D" (Destron/Decepticon) groupings.

: In the early 1990s, Bumblebee was one of many Transformers ''finally'' released in China. He comes on a card nigh-identical to the original Hasbro packaging, with a few Chinese-language stickers added. The toy itself has some notable differences from the original, however: aside from an unpainted rear bumper (the most obvious difference), this Bumblebee has a paler, less-saturated yellow plastic. He also only came in yellow, and only came with a rubsign. This toy, along with many other Chinese-market Transformers at the time, somehow made their way to UK stores, most notably Woolworths.

: The original mold is also used by the [[Optimus (faction)|Optimus-faction]] [[Volks (G1)|Volks]]. He was later [[retool]]ed into a [[#Keychain|keychain version of Bumblebee]], as well as for a [[#TFCollection|''Transformers Collection'' multipack]] (see below), with each of these serving as the base for [[Glyph (Universe)#Toys|Glyph]] and [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Toys|Bug Bite]] respectively. He was also released in a wide variety of colors in markets across Latin America, which will be covered in separate entries below (as to not make this entry unreadably long; there's a ''ton'' of variants and more might still be undiscovered!).

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, [[1985]])}}</ul>

: When he was released in Mexico by [[IGA]], Bumblebee came in five decoes: both the original red and yellow (now cast in a slightly lighter shade of plastic), as well as blue, silver, and white. The silver and white versions are particularly notable (and significantly rarer), as they have red-painted faces (similar to that of probably-[[Hubcap (G1)#IGA|Hubcap]]). The sticker on the back of Mexican Bumblebee's head is also slightly different from the Hasbro/Takara release, being the same general design, but smaller and with thicker, simpler lines.

: Years later, large numbers of Mexican Transformers somehow made it to various European markets.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-multi|'''Volks''' (Robocar, 1985)}}</ul>

: Bumblebee was released in Brazil by [[Estrela]] in 1985 as the Robocar "Volks", initially available in two color schemes: his original yellow and black, and a slick-looking silver and black variant similar to one of the aforementioned IGA versions but with a gold face instead.

: Rather than having faction insignia, both versions were decorated with a new thin tech-detailing sticker on their chests based on the original ''[[Micro Change]]'' decals, and the design of the sticker on the back of his head was also changed to a more complex grid pattern. The raised "DUNLOP" branding on the tires was also removed, a change also present on the Estrela versions of the similarly-engineered [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Estrela|Carrera / Cliffjumper]] and [[Sedan (Robocar)|Sedan]] molds.

:As mentioned, Estrela released red and orange versions of Volks in 1986 sporting the new "[[Optimus (faction)|Optimus]]" faction insignia; given this new factional alignment, for the purposes of this wiki, the Optimus-aligned Volks is considered a [[Volks (G1)|separate character]] from Bumblebee.

: The aforementioned red and orange versions of Volks were released in Argentina by [[Antex]] in 1985, both sporting the Estrela stickers and "DUNLOP"-less tires. Later releases of the orange version have been found with different paper stickers: the one on his chest/roof being one that was originally applied to [[Salt-Man Z]]'s groin. (The back-of-the-head decal was ''probably'' also changed, but right now we don't know for sure.)

:The card's toy photography depicts the Estrela yellow and silver versions, but it is believed this was merely a holdover from the Estrela-designed packaging, and that neither coloration was ever sold in Argentina.

:These toys are more readily available on the secondary market than their Estrela predecessors. They also have lower quality control.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)}}</ul>

: As far as foreign Mini Vehicle variants go, the Venezuelan release of Bumblebee by [[Rubiplas]] is pretty tame. He came in both the red and yellow versions, albeit the latter was made in a much brighter, lemon-like shade of plastic, and retains the original Hasbro insingia and back plate stickers.

: The main difference compared to other international versions of Bumblebee is his head's deco work (or lack thereof), which is missing both the silver paint on his face and the [[Vacuum metallizing|chrome silver]] on the "plate" part of the head, leaving it as black plastic.

[[File:Lynsa-PeachBumblebee.jpg|thumb|Never has a toy looked this deliciously edible before. ''(Peach version pictured)''|upright=1.67]]

: Manufactured by [[Peru|Peruvian]] company [[Lynsa]] and sold in Peru and Chile, this version of Bumblebee is similar to the Rubiplas release, lacking any paint or chrome, but this version also has plastic tires instead of rubber. So far, three different colorations have been confirmed: the original yellow-and-black, red-and-black, and peachy-orange-and-black. It is claimed that there may be ''six'' different versions of Peruvian Bumblebee all told, with the three others being unique to that market, but no-one has been able to find and confirm the others so far. Notably, at least one copy has been found which seems to have been factory-assembled with Cliffjumper's head instead. <ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/help-unique-lynsa-peru-bumblebee-found-t79477.php "Help! Unique Lynsa Bumblebee Found"] on Seibertron.com</ref>

: As with the other Lynsa Minicars, this Bumblebee is incredibly fragile, with his arms in particular being very prone to breakage. As such, given the rarity of this toy, whatever few copies of it still exist should be handled with ''exceptional'' care.

{{note|Peruvian company BASA (which eventually changed to HUDE) apparently also (briefly) sold ''Transformers'' in Peru, but these were straight imports of Hasbro Mini Vehicles with a company sticker applied to the packaging.}}

{{toydesigner|[[Takayuki Ishizawa]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Takashi Matsuda]] (initial concept)}}

: The [[Throttlebot]] Goldbug was released in 1987, and like the other Throttlebots, he has a pull-back motor and a simple transformation. The vehicle mode was not designed to look like a penny racer as the original toy was, so its variation on the Volkswagen Type 1 was much more realistically-proportioned. Though the other Throttlebots seem to have always been intended to be new characters, Goldbug's head was based directly on that of Bumblebee's original toy. Bumblebee was the second Transformer to be given a second toy (as both [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Hot Rod]] and Rodimus Prime had been released the previous year).

: The Throttlebots were part of the [[Decoy (G1)|Decoy]] promotion in 1987, where the carded toys came with a soft-rubber figurine. The Throttlebots were the only team to come with either Autobot or Decepticon Decoys; the other toys in the promotion only came with Decoys of the same faction they belonged to.

: In Japan, they were also the focus of the "Throttlebot Promotional Sales Campaign", where buying a Throttlebot at select Japanese retailers (sadly, we do not know which retailers these were) got the buyer one of six random all-white [[Autobot Master Warrior#Toys|Autobot Master Warrior]]s free. These [[campaign item|promotional toys]] are now among the most expensive ''Transformers'' toys ever "mass"-released, if not ''the'' most expensive (especially when size is taken into account).

: This toy also doubles as the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Goldbug (IDW)|Goldbug]].

: As part of the sixth year of ''Transformers'', Bumblebee was released as a "[[Classic Pretender]]", expanding the range of [[Pretender]]s toys. This version of Bumblebee is still a Volkswagen Type 1, but now has what look like off-road tires. His vehicle mode has a realistically-proportioned front end, but the cab area is more relatively compact than on the Goldbug toy (though not quite as deformed as the original Bumblebee). He came with a gun for his robot mode that could be mounted on his roof and another gun for his human shell.

: Oddly, the robot's head is modeled after [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys|Cliffjumper]]'s toy head.

: Part of the second wave of single-carded [[Action Master]] figures in the line's final year (in the US, at least), Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure that mixes his cartoon model with toy-based detailing. His construction is broadly similar to that used by the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' figures of the time, having a swivel neck, shoulders and knees, plus ball-jointed hips attached via a steel rod internally secured by a rubber "o-ring". His hands have standard 3 mm holes which allow him to hold any other accessory in the Action Master line, plus his feet have holes in the bottom to secure him to larger vehicles.

: He comes with the [[Heli-pack]], which transforms into a large "high-powered [[Compressed air rifle|air rifle]]" with spring-loaded deploying barrel. Bumblebee and his Heli-pack are cross-compatible with any other Action Master figure, vehicle or accessory; plus the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post]]s.

: This release makes Bumblebee the only character to have a toy of ''some'' kind available throughout the entire original ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]'' production run, from 1984 up to 1990.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Bumblebee''' (Keychain, 2001/2003/2007)}}</ul>

: A keychain version of Bumblebee was released by [[Fun4All]] under license from [[Hasbro]] in the US in 2001. Though based on the original toy, this is an entirely new set of molds, with a number of small differences throughout (minor proportion differences and generally softer edges), but the most immediately obvious one is the small plastic ring added to the rear bumper to accommodate the chain. The toy also returned to its original sticker set-up, doing away with the rubsign and restoring the Autobot symbol on his chest.

: In 2003, Takara released all four of the keychain Minibots ([[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Keychain|Cliffjumper]], Bumblebee, [[Windcharger (G1)#keychain|Windcharger]], and [[Brawn (G1)/toys#keychain|Brawn]]) as [[7-Eleven]] [[exclusive]]s. They came in [[blindpacking|blind-packed boxes]] so you don't know which one you got until you open 'er up, plus each one could also come in a "[[Chase figure|chase]]" all-black version exclusive to this release. The black deco was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Bumble|an evil clone]] of Bumblebee.

: All four keychains were re-released in 2007 under the ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' banner by [[Basic Fun]] (Fun4All having gone bankrupt in 2004). Sold on new cardbacks with the ''Heroes'' look, these releases are functionally identical to the originals (just the company stamping has changed) except for the actual chain part, which is a different style with an additional black plastic tab attached.

He transforms into a sports coupe of made-up model, which features an opening canopy for his cockpit, which allows any [[Titan Master]]/[[Prime Master]] figure to ride inside him; in this case, the included Headmaster of Bump of Chicken's bassist [[Chama#Toys|Chama]].

: Also included is a [[pack-in material|pack-in]] mini-comic, "[[Transformers × Bump of Chicken EX Episode]]", written by Chama himself and illustrated by [[Akira Amemiya]].

: The figure was exclusively released as one of the band's [https://bumpofchicken.com/goods/list/detail?id=14&item_id=46 online shop items], though customers had to register as an EMTG (Entertainment Music Ticket Guard) member to purchase it. Collectors first had an opportunity to purchase the figure in-person at an event at Tokyo Dome from [[November 3]]–4, 2019, starting at 8:30 AM JST. In-person purchasers needed to have a ticket to the band's concert in order to purchase the figure. Online orders were also available at noon on [[November 8]], 2019, and quickly sold out. Due to demand, a second run of the toy was made available on [[November 11]], 2019, with the second run shipping in March 2020.

Unfortunately, VW evidently did not want to be associated with "war toys" [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#MP21|at that time]], and therefore the design never made it past the control drawing stage. Control drawings for both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have been published in the Japanese ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'' book.

** ''ID number'': '''10'''

:The ''[[Transformers Encore]]'' series of reissues featured a set similar to the 2004 ''The Transformers Collection'' Minibots set; this time, rather than a mix of 1984 and 1985 Mini-Vehicles, it included mostly figures from 1986 plus Bumblebee (whose original toy had still shipped in 1986), bundling him with [[Outback (G1)#Encore|Outback]], [[Pipes (G1)#Encore|Pipes]], [[Swerve (G1)#Encore|Swerve]], and [[Tailgate (G1)#Encore|Tailgate]]. ''Encore'' Bumblebee retains the [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] head sculpt from the ''Transformers Collection'' release, but now sports several additional paint operations: his eyes are blue, his brake lights are red, and his bumpers and headlights are silver.

{{toydesigner|[[Bill Rawley]] (Hasbro)}}

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Legends class Bumblebee has a vehicle mode that is something of an amalgamation of the vehicle forms recent Bumblebees have adopted. While he forms a modern hatchback like the ''Classics'' Bumblebee and ''Animated'' Bumblebee toys, the more aggressive design with large flared wheel arches, and small windows evoke the look of the [[Transformers (film)|live-action movie]] version of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. He transforms similarly to, but not exactly the same as, his [[#Generation 1|Generation 1 toy]].

:Care must be taken while rolling the vehicle: pushing down while moving the vehicle forward can chip the paint underneath the hip section.

:This mold was redecoed into a whole ''swarm'' of Bumblebees, as well as a couple of Cliffjumpers. See the box below for more information.

So far, no gold-legged specimens have been found in the wild. Conversely, the vehicle mode stock photo on the back of his packaging implies that the ''entire'' leg pieces (or at least his ankle joints) have been painted blue, as there are two very obvious blue patches on his hood.

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' product, Bumblebee is a [[redeco]] of the [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#Toys|''War for Cybertron'' Bumblebee toy]], transforming into a "[[Cybertronian courier]]." He comes with a handgun and features two wrist-mounted flip-out blades. The handgun can be stored inside his rear bumper in either robot or vehicle mode. Like the original mold, His legs are generally loose at the mid-thigh joint due to being used for transformation.

:TakaraTomy's release features an extensive metallic paint job on the car mode panels as well as some of the robot's parts (such as the head and forearms). In addition to some painted detail differences from the Hasbro release, United Bumblebee features a lighter gray as well as a brighter pink than the Hasbro version.

:Another redeco of the ''Classics'' Deluxe toy, ''United'' Bumblebee is painted mainly in chromed golden yellow with silver bumpers. He was sold alongside his Cybertron Mode (see above) in the first assortment of ''United'' product.

:While very similar in appearance, this version of Bumblebee is cast in a lighter yellow plastic than the ''Henkei'' release, with most of his car mode parts (along with his robot mode head and forearms) painted over in gold. As noted above, he also features a silver front bumper and other painted details different from his previous TakaraTomy release.

:Unfortunately, because he is packaged in robot mode and his vehicle shell is entirely coated in paint, quite a number of Bumblebees have the gold paint between their jointed leg/hood panels and feet scratched off ''out of the box'', resulting in ugly scored lines on the hood in vehicle mode.

Nice. His face tampograph is new, but his torso uses the "Class of '84" deco.

: The set comes with two bags of Kre-O parts, one coming from the first-year large Bumblebee (mostly all the small bits and the now-useless neck joint), the other "new" with some basic bricks and plates, as well as a set of axles, rims and tires. The set has no instructions, as it's just a box of bricks to makes whatever with.

: Part of the first wave of the "Battle Changers" line, this version of Bumblebee has a core Kreon torso and head, but his limbs and backpack are massively bulked up, which allows him to transform into a vehicle that vaguely resembles a sports car with a proportions of a Volkswagen Beetle, without removing any parts!

: All of the 2015 ''Transformers [[Kre-O]]'' product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia and various Asian markets.

:Part of the first wave of ''Bot Shots'' Series 2 launchers, this version of Bumblebee is a Jump Shot, and an impact to the front of his vehicle mode causes him to spring up and autotransform into a robot armed with a pistol. He comes with a launcher used to propel him to great speeds, as well as three targets for him to knock over. The targets feature an assortment of pegs and peg-holes, allowing them to peg into each other to form various structures, although since you only get three of them, there's not a lot to make out of them.

:This version of the Bumblebee mold was retooled into [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Bot Shots|Super Bot Cliffjumper]].

He transforms from an Earth-style car into a robot styled after [[Andrew Griffith]]'s design for the character in [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' (which is in turn modified from ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]), and features [[5 mm post|5 mm-compatible]] front wheels, back/roof, and hands.

:He comes with [[Blaze Master (G1)#Generations|Blazemaster]], who can transform into a helicopter, a robot with [[C joint|3 mm-compatible]] hands, and a weapon with a 5 mm handle. In weapon mode, his rotors detach and mount onto Bumblebee's forearm wheel peg-holes.

:There are two packaging [[variant]]s of this two-pack: One version (which is also reflected by the official [[stock photography|stock photo]] of the toy in packaging) features the same layout for the cardboard name insert as its [[wave]]mate [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Thrilling 30|Optimus Prime]] & [[Roller (G1)#Generations|Autobot Roller]], while the other version has various texts and logos rearranged and relocated, and is lacking both the difficulty level and the [[Hasbro]] company logo.<ref name="genvar">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/generations-classics-44/generations-legends-bumblebee-with-blazemaster-packaging-variant-177748/ Comparison] between both variants of ''Generations'' Bumblebee & Blaze Master's packaging</ref>

{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro)}}

:Part of the fifth wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, this ''Thrilling 30'' Bumblebee is based on the character's body from IDW's [[The Transformers (IDW)|''The Transformers'' vol. 1]] ongoing series; more specifically, it is the version used by [[Guido Guidi]] in [[Space Opera—Final Tableaux: Orphans of the Helix|issue #21]]. He transforms into a muscle car that resembles a fifth generation [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Ford Mustang|Ford Mustang]], and comes with two "stinger blasters" which peg via 5 mm post into his hands, forearms, and rear vehicle sides, and can also combine into a large weapon.

:The American release is packed in with a copy of ''[[The Question|Spotlight: Bumblebee]]'', with a cropped version of the [[Clayton Crain]] RI cover that is called out as a '[[Hasbro]] Exclusive Cover'. In European and Canadian markets the figure is packed without the comic.

:For some reason, Hasbro's official [[stock photography|stock photos]] provided to retailers which depict a [[prototype|(pre-)production sample]], including a photo of the toy in [[packaging]], feature a Bumblebee that lacks the [[paint operation|painted]] stripes on the [[kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake]] car hood on his robot mode chest. The same applied to the packaged sample on display at [[BotCon 2013]]. Fortunately, the final toy sports the stripes after all. For their own official website, Hasbro remedied this with a new set of stock photos that are more representative of the final product... which were later replaced with the inaccurate photos.

:This mold was retooled into ''Generations'' [[Nightbeat (G1)#Generations|Nightbeat]] and [[Goshooter#Generations|Goshooter]] as well as ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Carzap (BT)#Timelines|Carzap]].

: Part of Wave 2 of Construct-Bots Scouts, Bumblebee can transform into a car.

He also lacks the two shoulder-mounted launchers as well as his rear wheel wells and spoiler attachments, making his vehicle mode appear much smaller. He swaps out his dual longswords for the fork blade originally included with Optimus Prime.

: Available only at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US, Canada, the UK, and Germany, this two-pack includes a "Classic" Bumblebee [[redeco]]ed from the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Legends Class Bumblebee, cast in a slightly lighter yellow with blue headlights and taillights and armed with a black and yellow redeco of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Jolt (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Deluxe Jolt]]'s [[MechTech]] weapon that turns into a hand cannon when the scope is pulled. This weapon can either be plugged via 5 mm post on his roof/back or held in hand. As with almost all other ''MechTech'' Deluxe weapon accessories, the converted weapon cannot lock into place.

: The two-pack was one of the three Evolution 2-packs available as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Japan, with no changes on the figures with an exception of the packaging, which the front box features Japanese translated versions of the English text, and a sticker on the back confirming that this was a Japanese release.

**''Pieces'': '''9'''

: Part of the first wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' basic Action Figures, Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. His robot mode takes many design cues from his Deluxe Class ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Thrilling 30]]'' toy. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

: He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

: His left forearm was [[redeco]]ed to make [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Cliffjumper]]'s arm in the [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Hero Mashers|Battle Upgrade Bulkhead]] set.

**''Accessories'': Jetpack, axe/missile launcher, 2 "Dino Claw Missiles", buzzsaw, 2 twin-blasters

: Part of a "Team Pack" with [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Strafe]], this release of Bumblebee is basically identical to his individual release, but lacking his silver blaster. Instead, he can be equipped with any of the pack's various accessories (which can be argued also belonging to Strafe but whatever), including a winged jetpack and a spring-loaded "Dino Claw Missile" launcher that doubles as an axe. The spare missile can be pegged to any standard ''Hero Mashers'' peg-hole, though it sits pretty shallowly.

: There are two different releases of this set, each one containing the same parts, but arranged differently. One has Strafe much more visibly pulled apart, with the resulting part-spread meaning the jetpack ends up hidden under the packaging photo on the lower-left corner under Bumblebee's feet.

The toy also now sports a large "CE" mark and number on the soles of its feet, declaring the toy meets European product safety requirements. Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Bumblebee/Blazemaster two-pack's packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from ''Universe'' Bumblebee's packaging and only slightly altered, sporting a highly inaccurate deco and even advertising a "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn't actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the sculpt's 2012 release's deco.
:[[File:Transformers-2014-Legion-Class-Bumblebee-packaging-variants.jpg|left|thumb|left|2014 packaging left, 2015 packaging right.]]

:Legion Class Bumblebee has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] replaced the red Autobot insignia with a black version. This later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. In addition, the version with a black insignia was later re-released in 2015, this time in packaging mimicking the then-current ''Generations'' packaging design, but replacing the name "Generations" with "Authentic Transformers". It was also given a new Hasbro product code number and UPC barcode, thereby technically making it a separate product. In 2017 (or 2016?), it was re-released ''again'', this time in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]], the black insignia variant of the toy (in the later packaging variant lacking the "Reveal the Shield" call-out) ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia, and even returned to discount stores like Five Below and 99 Cents Only in the US in 2020. For unknown reasons, most of them were mistransformed in packaging.

{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] and [[Yūya Ōnishi]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Bumble transforms into an officially-licensed Volkswagen Type 1. As with other figures in the ''Masterpiece'' line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his cartoon model. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Deluxe Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]] in robot mode (making his car mode very out of proportions with the other ''Masterpiece'' cars), and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Bumblebee lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, following the trend started with [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Wheeljack]], his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. Accurate to the real-life Type 1, he only has one mirror, on the driver's side; an extra is included in case of loss or breakage.

:For accessories, he comes with his gun (called ''Lazer Gun'' {{sic}} in the instructions), a second interchangeable face with [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#Armada|an open-mouth smile]] to replace his regular neutral face, and a spare tire cover that can be plugged on the rear of his vehicle mode by pulling away the license plate, which then fits inside the cover. The cover mounts on his back in robot mode; indeed, it only ''exists'' in order to replicate the large yellow circle on the back of Bumblebee's [[character model]], a visual adaptation of some molded circular detail on his original toy. Illustrating its non-essential vehicle mode role, it can also be stored out of view on the car's underside.

:To make up for the smaller size of Bumblebee when compared to other figures in the Masterpiece line (and to keep up with the price tag), MP-21 comes with an Exosuit figure, which can transform into its vehicle mode as seen in ''The Movie''. The figure itself is referred to only as "Excelsuit" (the Japanese G1 dub name) on the instruction book, but according to the line-art included in ''The Transformers Masterpiece Official Guide'', it's supposed to be [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)#Masterpiece|Daniel Witwicky]], though the back of the box refers to it as Spike.

:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]], one additionally gets an interchangeable "Battle Face" based on the original G1 toy's one. If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a [[collector coin]] is included instead of or in addition to the face. The coin package is shaped like his head, and identifies him as "Bumblebee Autobot".

:The non-Japanese Asian market version came with a special collector's coin. The coin package is once again shaped like Bumblebee's head (with the "battle face" faceplate on the front), but actually identifies him as Goldbug. Go figure.

:This Hasbro version of [[#MP21|''Masterpiece'' MP-21 Bumblebee]] is virtually unchanged from its Takara counterpart. All accessories included with the MP-21 version (minus the retailer-exclusive battle mask) are present in this release. Unlike the Takara version which (confusingly) identifies the Exosuit figure as Spike or Daniel, this version identifies him as just Spike.

:Oddly, the instruction manual and package have a couple of quirks—first, stock photos of Bumblebee's robot mode show his hood vent flap exposed and his backpack untransformed, where the flap should be tucked into its compartment in his pelvis and the backpack rotated, then the bumper folded in. The instructions also show this, but they show the steps for tucking in the flap and transforming the backpack. Second, the instructions for the swappable face gimmick have two errors: The regular face is shown twice instead of the smiling face being swapped, and the battle mask is shown in the instructions, despite not being included with the actual toy.

:The second version of ''Masterpiece'' Bumble transforms from a show-accurate robot into a show-and-toy-accurate Penny Racer-proportioned Volkswagen Type 1. He comes with his handgun, now with its own blast effect, 2 faces, a license plate from the episode "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]", and a small posable figure of Spike, which can fit in his vehicle mode. While the car mode can be displayed with the doors open, sitting the mini-figure in requires separating its front halves and folding up the windscreen/car hood assembly. Like the other ''Masterpiece'' Autobot cars, Bumble can fit in Convoy's (MP-10 and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP44|MP-44]]) Trailer. Bumble comes with a sheet of optional stickers: Two hearts for his license plate, the ice cream splotches for his shoulders seen in "[[Child's Play (episode)|Child's Play]]", the brown [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|disease patches]] seen in "[[Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust]]", and the [[Morphobot]] tentacle seen in "[[Quest for Survival]]".

:Unfortunately, due to the sake of show-accuracy, this Bumblebee ends up having most of his kibble present on his rear ankles and a glaring backpack when viewed at any angle other than his front, which also collides with his lower waist, effectively neutering the usage of his waist swivel.

:After the official images' reveal, Hasbro requested a number of sites (including a few listings like Amazon Japan) to take down the pictures, until they were allowed to post them again, several hours later. Initially set for a late September release, Bumblebee was pushed back to [[November 24|late November]].

:Bumble comes with a die-cast token modeled after the Matrix of Leadership, and like the collector coins, the token had Bumblebee's head, the ''Masterpiece'' logo and the ID number engraved on it. Strangely enough, the box used for imported releases omits Bumble's name and just refers him as "Cybertron Espionage" while the box itself retains Bumble's (Japanese) name.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, [[2016]])
{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Bumblebee is a Legends Class mold who transforms from a robot to car, with a vehicle mode based on his alt mode in ''[[Transformers: Earth Wars]]''. As with some of the ''Titans Return'' Legends Class figures, Bumblebee features an opening canopy for his cockpit, which allows any Titan Master figures to ride inside him. He also features 5 mm-compatible hands, although the yellow piece can prevent any weapon's slightly longer posts to peg down through his hands. Also, take note that the vehicle back wings/shoulder kibble can sometimes block the way for wielding weapons; however the shoulder parts can be swapped for better tolerance, but prevents him from fully transforming into vehicle mode. Oddly, his molded license plate reads "100 STRA" which is a variation of his movie counterpart's "900 STRA" plate.

:Although the instructions tell [[you]] to immediately swing down the chest/vehicle roof to his shoulders/vehicle rear, you have to give a slight opening gap on the shoulder parts in vehicle form before you swing the roof piece down, and squeeze the shoulders against the piece until it clicks properly (make sure the rear vehicle's pegs and the shoulder's rectangle holes are in place first). Take note that the tail-end of the chest/roof hinge piece is prone to paint chipping due to the friction between both hinged vehicle rear pieces.

*'''Bumblebee''' ("Legion Class" reissue, 2018)

: Part of the first wave of the ''[[Vintage|Vintage G1]]'' line, Bumblebee is a largely-identical reissue of ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' Bumble, using the "newly"-tooled head introduced in ''[[#The Transformers Collection|The Transformers Collection]]'' and also sharing many of the deco alterations.

:There are a number of small differences between the ''Encore'' and ''Vintage G1'' versions, though:
:#The screw in the center of Bumblebee's back; now replaced with a pin, much like the original toy. This is also likely down to [[Hasbro]]'s current stance on using pins in place of screws as much as possible.
:#He has extra production information tampographed on the sole of his right foot—something that has become fairly common on ''Transformers'' products that wasn't around during his last reissue.
:#The original sticker detail on the back of his head has also returned, whereas the ''Encore'' version had a [[rubsign]] placed there instead. This also happens to be the only ''Vintage G1'' Minibot to not have a rubsign.

: Despite these differences from the original, card still displays the original toy-based package art. Of particular note is that this is the first ever release of this figure that's identified on its packaging as being an "official licensed product" approved by Volkswagen.

:Like all ''Vintage G1'' figures, Bumblebee was [[exclusive]] to [[Walmart]] in the United States and Canada. He was also available at general retail in Hong Kong, and exclusive to the website of Australian fashion chain Cotton On. Oddly, the Australian release came in [[multilingual packaging]] intended for the European market, a rare but not entirely unheard of occurrence. Due to the limited space on the back, this, unfortunately, means the iconic [[Tech Spec]] card is omitted, replaced by parental warnings in 24 languages about the possibility of breakage due to excessive force, and that parts are not designed to reattach. In Singapore, Bumblebee was released as a giveaway for their screenings of the [[Bumblebee (film)|''Bumblebee'' live-action movie]].

**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''WFC-09'''
**''TakaraTomy release date:'' [[January 20]], [[2021]]
**''Accessories:'' Three-piece blaster, 2 skis, car trunk/shield

:Part of the second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' Deluxe Class toys, concurrent with the ''Earthrise'' toyline and season of [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|the Netflix cartoon]], Bumblebee is a retool of [[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'']] [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Cliffjumper]], having all of the original figure's vehicle mode parts replaced with those of a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] Volkswagen Type 1 without the "penny racer" proportions, along with a new head sculpt. Almost ''all'' of Bumblebee's yellow coloring is painted, with only his head and forearms being bare yellow plastic, which avoids color disparity, particularly in vehicle mode. On both of his ends, the bumpers/fenders are made of soft rubbery plastic. Bumblebee also has molded high-performance brake discs. Much like Cliffjumper's other mold-mates, Bumblebee's depiction as being rather small in most ''Transformers'' media means this figure is much shorter than a typical Deluxe-priced figure and is closer to being a particularly large Legends-priced figure. Like all Deluxe Class figures of the ''War for Cybertron'' subline, Bumblebee includes numerous 3 mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] for attaching other accessories as part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], but due to his small size he cannot easily accommodate an entire Weaponizer or [[A.I.R. Lock System|Modulator]] figure. Additionally, he is highly articulated for a mainline Legends-sized Transformer, with over 90-degree ankles and two-way elbows, and a complex transformation scheme. Undocumented in the instructions, Bumblebee's neck is actually mounted on a ball-joint, and when popped out of its housing offers a larger range of articulation. The housing has also been updated for seemingly no reason, with a taller "collar" section compared to Cliffjumper and Hubcap.

:The rest of his price-point is made up for with Cliffjumper's bazooka, now painted in slightly darker gunmetal color and lacking the paint on the rear piece. The entire cannon can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis that can attach under his front wheels. The backend of the cannon folds out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed. It can also mount on either his thigh or on the side or top of his shoulder meaning you can put the entire cannon in these spots. Unlike his mold-mates, 5 mm port holes are absent in Bumblebee's vehicle parts, meaning displaying the bazooka in vehicle mode requires the rear of the car mode to be transformed differently so the car trunk post has space to flip out and connect to the back-end of the cannon. Despite what the instructions tell you, the bazooka ''will'' pop off from the upper shoulder gap if you move the arm horizontally or vertically.

: Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car back-end can either be put onto the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. This peg and the backend of the cannon use a unique post and port to connect to each other. Also unlike his mold-mates, the pegs that connect the car trunk with the robot fists in vehicle mode are now complete circles instead of half circles. These larger pegs are a very tight fit in the fists; detaching the trunk requires using excessive force on a small, thin, painted plastic piece. Filing or sanding the pegs down can make transformation more feasible.

:[[For safety reasons|As per the norm]], the stock renders depict him with sharp head-horns, but the final product has them rounded off.

: Like the rest of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|Netflix-branded]] subset of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline, Bumblebee is exclusive to [[Walmart]] in Canada and the US but was released at standard retail in Asia.

: His G1 cartoon-accurate blaster is sold separately as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Deluxe Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]]. However, there is no way to store this blaster while Bumblebee is in vehicle mode.

: This contained a portion of a cardstock background of [[Teletraan I]]. Bumblebee's part has tab N and slot A.

: Bumblebee is one of two puzzling Netflix-branded figures that have become extra rare and valuable for a mutual set of confusing reasons; the other is [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Soundwave]]. Most Netflix figures try to depict characters as they appeared on the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon, favoring Cybertronian alt modes and extra battle damage, but that was not the goal for Bumblebee and Soundwave. Instead, with clean paint jobs and never-seen-on-Netflix Earth alt modes, they might be the most G1-faithful available versions of their characters in the [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations toyline]] era.

:If you actually want a toy that resembles Bumblebee from Netflix TV, then you might be looking for one of the [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Buzzworthy Bumblebees]].

: The original Cliffjumper version of the mold was given two new head toolings to make ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Hubcap (G1)#Generations|Hubcap]] and ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Goldbug (SG)#Generations|Goldbug]] respectively, and was also given Bumblebee's head to make ''Selects'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Generations|Bug Bite]].

:*''Series'': ''War for Cybertron Trilogy''
:*''Accessories'': Blaster

: Part of the cross-franchise ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' subline, and among its very first releases, this iteration of ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Bumblebee is a Core Class mold that converts from a robot into a car based upon [[Bumper (G1)#The Transformers|Bumper]]'s [[Choro-Q]] {{w|Mazda Familia}} alt-mode (complete with rear plate detailing!). He comes with a cartoon-inspired blaster that he holds via a 3 mm post which stores in his vehicle mode's rear underside, doubling as an exhaust pipe of sorts. Unlike most of the figures on this page, this Bumblebee features a matte finish on his vehicle tires ''and'' his gun.

: As seen in the rear packaging's stock render, Bumblebee's "wing" kibble/back fenders can be folded back for a cleaner robot appearance. As a result of sharing similarities to the original toy's transformation scheme, Bumblebee's arms sit slightly lower in robot mode.

: Bumblebee also comes with a (minimally-)transforming [[Exosuit#War for Cybertron Trilogy|exosuit]] [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#Buzzworthy|Spike Witwicky]] figure, although the exosuit features a silver-painted head dome with no indications of whoever may be inside, making it more a generic exosuit figure than any specific human character. This raised the MSRP from Core Class's normal ten to fifteen US dollars, though some Target stores seemingly at random charged ''seventeen'' for the set. Despite the store exclusivity, the set became a [[shelfwarmer|pegwarmer]], often leaving entire pegs full of unsold stock.

: Much like the rest of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' toys, the box is in the style of the 2018 ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' toyline, with additional renders of the [[evergreen]] Bumblebee design. Additionally, the toy features ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]''-style [[package art]] with the ''War for Cybertron'' logo present.

: ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''{{'}}s second all-new mold, "Origin Bumblebee" is a diminutive Deluxe Class figure, once again branded as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy''. For the first time in toy form, Bumblebee transforms into the "flying saucer" vehicle seen in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" in 23 steps. His robot mode is based on [https://www.instagram.com/p/CLo1eYQASuE/ concept art] by [[Ken Christiansen]], which had earlier influenced Bumblebee's look in the [[Transformers (2019 comic)|2019 IDW comic series]] and the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' animated series.

: As part of the ''War for Cybertron'' play pattern, Bumblebee features multiple 5 mm ports and 3 mm posts compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]/[[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology]] and [[Fire Blast effect|"fire blast" effects]]. Being a modern, smaller-scale Deluxe Class figure, Bumblebee includes multiple accessories to fill out the price point, consisting of a 5 mm handheld blaster, five [[conductor#Toys|conductor rods]] as seen in "More than Meets the Eye, Part 1" that Bumblebee cannot actually hold (and in reality, Bumblebee only holds four of these rods in the episode), and a [[jet pack#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|jet pack]] as seen in "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1]]". The jet pack is 5 mm compatible but is also specifically shaped to fit the back kibble of the ''Earthrise'' Cliffjumper mold. Kunihiro originally wanted to have slots on the jetpack for the rods to slide into, but Maher cut it out due to it affecting the visual look of the jetpack. Despite appearing to be silver on the box, both Bumblebee's gun and jetpack are molded in unpainted black plastic.

: Origin Bumblebee is a victim of [[photodegradation]]; His unpaintable parts can discolor into either a very pale yellow or outright light brown.

: [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Legacy|A 2024 Wheeljack toy]] was eventually made as a companion to this figure, featuring a storage bay for Bumblebee to fit inside, and clips to hold Bumblebee’s conductor rods.

Essentially a redeco of ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Bug Bite, Bumblebee transforms into a custom 1980s sports coupe; hybridizing the Porsche 924 Turbo and {{w|Mitsubishi Starion}} models. He retains the bazooka included with all versions of the mold, this time painted green to resemble the bazooka [[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ironhide]] used in "[[Transport to Oblivion (episode)|Transport to Oblivion]]." He also comes with the [[AllSpark#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Allspark]], redecoed from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Megatron (G1)/Generations toys#2021Netflix|Megatron]]/[[Skelivore#Toys|Fossilizer Skelivore]] Spoiler Pack.

: Part of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' "Creatures Collide" 4-pack, "Autobot Goldbug" is a chimera of molds, matching the vehicle mode parts from ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Bumblebee]] with the headsculpt from ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Goldbug (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Goldbug]]; it also makes use of the interior chest parts from the original ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Cliffjumper]], as the "popped collar" of the Bumblebee version of the toy would cause clearance issues with the shape of the Goldbug head. All this results in a robot loosely accurate to Goldbug's original character model that transforms into a licensed, goldy-caramel-coloured [[Volkswagen]] Type 1. He retains the same accessories and functionality as his prior ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' release.

: Alongside Goldbug, the set also includes [[Scorponok (BW)#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Predacon Scorponok]], [[Ransack (G1)#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Ransack]], and [[Skywasp#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Skywasp]]. The ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' line was exclusive to Target in the U.S.

:The eleventh figure released in the ''[[Transformers Collaborative]]'' line, "A.W.E Striker Bumblebee" is a 9-inch figure that transforms into the [[A.W.E. Striker]] vehicle used by the Joes (which in itself resembles a 1982 M1040 Chenowth "Hellfire" Fast Attack Vehicle, aka [[Beachcomber (G1)#Toys|Beachcomber]]'s vehicle mode), serving as a counterpart to the [[Megatron (G1)/Generations toys#Collaborative|H.I.S.S Tank Megatron]] released beforehand. He includes a blaster that can be attached to the top of the alt mode as well as over Bumblebee's head. He requires mild assembly out of box, as his roll cage and antennae must be attached to his body to complete his alternate mode. His stock photography depicts his thighs and fists as green, though the final toy has those parts cast in black. Some details on his chest, as well as his leg transformation and wheel placements in robot mode, are similar to [[Beachcomber (G1)#Toys|Beachcomber's original toy]].

:The set also includes a reproduction of the vintage [[Stalker (G.I. Joe)|Sgt. Stalker]] figure that can ride in Bumblebee's alternate mode or operate the aforementioned blaster in Bumblebee's robot mode. This figure comes packaged on a ''G.I. Joe Retro Collection'' style card included in the set.

===Robosen===
[[File:Robosen_bumblebee_performance.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Bumblebee G1 Performance''' (2023)
**''Accessories:'' blaster, wall charger, USB-C to USB 2.0 cable
:[[Robosen]]'s follow-up to their [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Robosen Collector's Edition|auto-converting G1 Optimus Primes]], "Bumblebee G1 Performance" is a highly-interactive, programmable robot based on Bumblebee's appearance in the G1 cartoon. Unlike the two Optimus Primes, Bumblebee does ''not'' transform, leaving him stuck in robot mode... though this does contribute to his ''significantly lower'' $399 price point. He's nevertheless still a vague in-between of "toy" and "high-end showroom tech", with 45 custom microchips, 17 servo motors, [[Light-emitting diode|LEDs]] in his eyes, foot headlights, and his blaster accessory, 69 classic soundbytes on top of newly-recorded voice lines by [[Dan Gilvezan]] (or a ''very good'' impersonator), and his own dedicated iOS/Android bluetooth app interface (separate from either of the two Optimus Primes' apps). Bumblebee stands at 13.5 inches in height, meaning he scales a bit better with the taller "Flagship" Optimus Prime.

:Bumblebee is primarily powered by an internal rechargable lithium ion battery, with his USB-C port located in an added notch on his lower back. His speaker/vent is located just above that, on a raised circular outdent on the center of his back.

:There are a variety of ways to interact with Bumblebee, including pre-programmed voice commands, pre-programmed app controls, and user-created movement scripts. The former two have a long list of scripted actions to pull from, including action poses, fighting scenes, greetings, and a variety of silly actions; if Robosen's continual rollout of new actions for Prime months after his release is anything to go by, Bumblebee will likely have more actions added in the months to come. New to Bumblebee is a "Mini-Theater" mode, essentially longer pre-programmed action sequences with appropriate backing music, sound effects, and voice lines, with scenes featuring Bumblebee by himself and alongside Optimus Prime available to pick from. And if all that weren't enough, you can program any number of poses and movement sequences using the app.

:The lack of transformation allowed Robosen to slightly beef up Bumblebee's flexibility and movement compared to Prime, with them advertising a state-of-the-art gait algorithm that allow's Bumblebee's two walking speeds to appropriately match your movements, as well as a built-in 6-axis IMU (internal measuring unit) to detect your posture, enabling Bumblebee to perform more difficult poses and automatically stand back up if he falls. Although he still lacks wrist and foot rotation like Prime, Bumblebee ''does'' have partial neck rotation, allowing him to look to his left or right without rotating his body. He can also stand up without being powered on; although he will hunch forward a bit on his knees when powering off, his legs can be straightened out a bit more with no worry of him falling over afterwards, likely thanks to his large feet.

:Bumblebee was first shown off at the Middle East Film and Comic Con in March 2023, with Robosen later uploading a promotional video to Weibo in May. He was made available to buy from Robosen's online store on June 20, 2023 without any advance warning, with orders shipping out from that date on.

*'''Bumblebee G1 Flagship''' (2025)
**''Accessories'': Blaster, [[collector coin]], power adapter, data cable

:"G1 Flagship" Bumblebee is another programmable Robosen robot, but this time it fully transforms into a licensed VW Beetle. The figure responds to user input with 37 servo motors, 67 microchips, and over 200 voice clips from G1 actor [[Dan Gilvezan]] - the first Transformers toy to include his voice! In robot mode it stands 15" tall and, like the other Robosen figures, can be controlled both by spoken commands and the app.

:The figure was revealed on [[Hasbro Pulse]] on [[March 27]], [[2025]], with a preorder pricing of $949 valid through [[April 26]], after which the price went up to $1,299.

:''[[Transformers: Reactivate|Reactivate]]'' Bumblebee is a Deluxe-sized figure that transforms into an armored post-apocalyptic buggy. He comes with a pair of handheld submachine guns, which can, in either mode, be plugged into his shoulders/hood or stored underneath his forearms/undercarriage.

:There are a few transformation steps that are not clear in the instructions: The tops of his doors need to be pushed underneath his windows to lock into place. There are tabs on his forearms that go into the black armatures between the wheels to help secure them. The front bumper should be slid down for robot mode. Also, be careful not to push the windshield/neck area too far back in robot mode as it can get stuck and cause paint chipping in the corners.

:Bumblebee was packaged with [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Reactivate|Starscream]]. This boxset was abruptly revealed by [[Toys"R"Us]] Canada on October 18, 2023, after nearly ten months of silence regarding the then-upcoming ''[[Transformers: Reactivate]]'' online game, and a little over a year before the game would be officially cancelled. Notably, stock photography of the box and the official product copy use "Rise", an earlier name for the game. The game's final name was shown on the box during the Hasbro Pulse Fanstream on November 14th, 2023. The figure itself is molded with the year 2020, suggesting it was meant for an ''even earlier'' release date, delayed by the game's troubled production.

:Released as part of the ''[[Studio Series]]'' A-Level distribution, Bumblebee transforms into an unlicensed squared-off Volkswagen Beetle (with the roof and rear of [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]]'s Mazda Familia 1500XG alt-mode), with the Penny Racer-like proportions of his original toy and cartoon appearances. He includes a blaster (based on the [[generic Autobot laser pistol]] design) which can be pegged onto the back of both modes.

: In vehicle mode, Bumblebee ends up with two Autobot [[insignia]]—one in the middle of his roof (cartoon-accurate for robot mode) and one off-centre on the hood (accurate for vehicle mode). The mixture of normal yellow plastic, slightly paler [[unpaintable plastic]], and yellow paint-applications for the roof, gives him a somewhat disjointed appearance in this mode. Due to portions of his windows being made of dark gray unpaintable plastic parts, the rest of the windows were also colored dark gray for consistency, instead of a screen-accurate blue. But hey, now it's an [[#The Transformers|original toy]] reference!

: As with other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a diorama display for the figure. In this case, it is the movie's ending scene, where Bumblebee and the rest of the Autobots escape from the depths of Unicron.

: This mold was also used to make [[Bumper (G1)#Age of the Primes|''Age of the Primes'' Bumper]], and retooled more extensively into ''Studio Series'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Cliffjumper]].

He comes with his 2 [[Generic Autobot laser pistol#Transformers: Devastation|blasters]] (painted a typical silver instead of the game's blue) which can store on the sides of his vehicle mode and his larger roof-mounted blaster.

:Commemorating the 40th anniversary of ''The Transformers'' brand, ''[[Missing Link]]'' Bumble is a direct recreation of the original ''The Transformers'' figure. Though near-identical to the original on the surface (complete with "battle-mask" face!), this figure uses modern toy engineering advances to give the toy a mechanical overhaul, granting it a ''significantly'' wider range of [[articulation]], including shoulders, elbows, knees, "neck" rotation, outward leg motion, and an ankle tilt. In terms of weaponry, Bumble wields a metallic chrome laser pistol, styled after his weapon from the cartoon, which can be stowed away in his (officially-licensed) "penny-racer" style Volkswagen Type 1 alt-mode. Bumble also comes with a collector's card and a sticker sheet, with both the standard Autobot insignia and a pair of stickers designed to make Bumble resemble his original ''The Transformers'' package art available to use. As with ''Missing Link'' Convoy, Bumble and all his pack-ins are neatly inserted into a polystyrene tray.

:''Missing Link'' Bumble was officially revealed in early May 2024, and shortly afterwards went up for pre-order on Japanese retail sites for a November 2024 release.

:As you might expect, the tooling for this figure was also used to make a simultaneously-released ''Missing Link'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Missing Link|Cliffjumper]].

:''Missing Link'' "Bumble (Anime Type)" is a [[show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] redeco and retool of the above figure, with a new face, white headlights, charcoal bumper and limbs, yellow forearms, and transparent blue windshields. He has a new backplate sticker, based on the detail on back of Bumble's cartoon car mode, and features a [[rubsign]] on the bottom of his right foot. Bumble comes with his laser pistol, now light gray instead of chromed, and a collector card.

:Bumble (Anime Type) only comes in the "Cybertron Hero Set" alongside the similarly changed [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#MissingLinkHero|Cliff (Anime Type)]].

{{toydesigner|[[Samuel Liltorp Johnson]] ([[LEGO]])|[[Nathan Davis]] and [[Ashwin Visser]] (prints/stickers), [[Yoel Mazur]] (new elements), [[Joe Kyde]] (initial concept)}}<ref>[https://twitter.com/Spider_Sam_/status/1801317746422202837 Credit reel for LEGO Bumblebee] from [[LEGO]] designer [[Samuel Liltorp Johnson]] on Twitter</ref>

: Bumblebee is the second collaboration between [[Hasbro]] and [[LEGO]] released under LEGO's ''[[fandom:Brickipedia:Icons|Icons]]'' theme, following [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#LEGO|10302 Optimus Prime]], and is designed to be in scale with the aforementioned model of the Autobot leader. Like Optimus, he can transform from a fully brick-built G1-style robot to a vaguely-Type 1-esque car with opening doors (but no interior) without needing to be disassembled and reassembled... ''mostly,'' as his front windshield [[Partformer|must be removed for transformation]]. The removed windshield can be folded in half and stored by pegging onto the studs on the spare tire on Bee's back, like a little winged jetpack that can ''arguably'' serve as a homage to the door-wing design seen on the [[Bumblebee (Movie)|live-action]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Aligned versions]] of the character. In addition to optional stickers depicting "I ♡ Cybertron" and "[[Roll out|ROLL OUT]]" bumper stickers, Bumblebee includes two choices of stickered license plates, each reading "BMBL84" and "[[Goldbug (G1)|GLDBUG]]". Both license plates include a tiny, simplified illustration of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and a small reference to the premiere date of the G1 cartoon: [[September 17]], [[1984]]. The optional "Roll Out" sticker also homages the booster rocket sticker of Bumblebee's original toy.

: He is armed with a likewise brick-built blaster (which cannot be stored or attached in vehicle mode, sadly), and just like Optimus, also includes an ''[[fandom:Brickipedia:Ultimate Collector's Series|Ultimate Collector's Series]]''-styled display plaque featuring Bumblebee's name (in both English and Ancient Autobot), function, motto, and [[Tech Spec]]s. The display plaque is designed to have exposed studs on its backside, allowing the unused license plate to be stored there.

: Unfortunately, also like Optimus, stability concerns over Bumblebee's top-heavy robot mode mean that he too lacks any knee articulation... but ''un''like Optimus, Bee doesn't have any thigh swivels or ankle tilt either. Also, his crotch plate cannot hinge up if assembled as designed, which heavily restricts any forward motion of his legs unless the torso is creatively mistransformed or modified. Bummer.

**''Set Number'': '''40804'''
**''Brickheadz ID number'': '''262 Bumblebee''' / '''263 Bumblebee Car'''
**''Pieces'': '''237'''

: Released as part of LEGO's ''BrickHeadz'' theme of [[super deformed]] characters (a line launched by the Danish brand in 2016 as a competitor of sorts to [[Funko Pop!|Funko Pops]]), this set includes two builds of Bumblebee, one in his robot mode and another in his vehicle mode - the latter bearing some very ''Penny Racers'' / [[Choro-Q]]-reminiscent proportions, taking after his original toy - both of which can be built and displayed separately. Like the rest of the ''BrickHeadz'' toyline, he features no stickers, with all of his details being printed onto the pieces instead, which comes in rather handy for Lego MOC designers who might want to reuse the insignia and all the other printed details included in this set.

:He has no accessories and, as customary with ''BrickHeadz'' toys, no articulation to speak of, but is be very proficient at just standing cutely! The car on the other hand, can be popped off the base and rolled around!

:A common gag across BrickHeadz toys is the inclusion of pink bricks within the structure of their heads, suggesting the characters' brains. Bumblebee and his wave-mate [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#BrickHeadz|Optimus Prime]], however; actually have transparent pink bricks inside their heads, representing Energon cubes instead!

:Unusually for the ''[[Transformers Retro]]'' line, Bumblebee is not a reissue of his original toy, but a redeco of [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|''War For Cybertron Trilogy'' Bumblebee]], aiming for G1 toy accuracy. While the nostalgic card-back packaging depicts the original G1 Bumblebee toy with masked head in place, the toy features the cartoon-derived head from prior uses of the mold.

:Bee's neck assembly has been reverted back to the taller "collar" molding seen on the initial Netflix release, but not on the previous Goldbug retool.

Aside from the wing doors, Bumblebee only comes with an additional sawblade arm, intended to be used by the same line's Starscream.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Swapticons]]'' two-packs, Bumblebee is a small, rectangular figure that transforms into the front half of a modified van. While his nominal placement is as the front half of a full heavily modified van evoking Rodimus Prime's "futuristic motorhome" alt-mode with his pack-in partner [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Swapticons|Hot Rod]], he can attach to any other Swapticon, front or back, to make whatever silly abomination you feel like unleashing. Somewhat amusingly, his mold is the tallest in the ''Swapticons'' line.

: His side panels/arms are on a hinge, allowing them to swing outward while his head can swivel. His face is a sticker that wraps all the way around his head.

The black plastic and paint are now grey, the yellow plastic is more orange, the robot face is now matte painted instead of silver, the clear blue plastics are a paler shade, and the flying saucer segments on his legs are painted to achieve a better color match. This version comes in a set that includes similar touch-ups of the "Origin" pre-Earth bodies of teammates [[Jazz (G1)/toys#DCScybertron|Jazz]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Dramatic Capture Series|Wheeljack]].

'''Cliffjumper''' has a lot of toys. Although none of them are traitors, a large number of them are red [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebees]].

[[File:G1 Cliffjumper toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|For 28 years, this was his only toy that wasn't a Bumblebee redeco or retool.]]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1984 / 1985)}}</ul>
:*''Takara ID number'': '''13'''
{{toydesigner|[[Masaki Maruyama]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Mark Watts]] (packaging artist)}}

: Part of the original 1984 range of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]'' Autobot [[Mini-Vehicle]]s, Cliffjumper began life as the [[super deformed]] "[[Choro-Q|Penny Racer]]"-style ''[[Micro Change]]'' "MC-04 #01 [[Porsche]] {{w|Porsche 924|924 Carrera GT}}" - although, in reality; most of his design traits are based on the later Porsche 924 Carrera GTR racecar model, with only his hood scoop being closer to the Turbo. Though broadly similar in construction to [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Bumblebee]] and commonly called a [[redeco]]/[[retool]] of him by fans, Cliffjumper is actually an entirely different mold that just uses the same [[transformation]] scheme. This confusion was not helped by the fact that both Cliffjumper and Bumblebee were released in both red and yellow during the first two years of the Generation 1 toyline; a move designed to "make the line look bigger" according to former [[Hasbro]] R&D Vice President [[George Dunsay]].<ref name="dunsay">[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php Interview with George Dunsay at TFArchive.com]</ref>

:[[File:G1-toy Bumper.jpg|upright=1|left|thumb|''Technically'' also Cliffjumper. We ''dare'' official fiction to use this body as such.]]
: A yellow version of the ''Micro Change'' "MC-04 Mini CAR Robo 02 Familia 1500XG" mold was also available packaged on Cliffjumper cards through 1984, albeit in ''way'' smaller numbers than either of the normal color variants. As an entirely different mold, the fandom treated this toy not as a variant of Cliffjumper, but rather as a separate character they christened "[[Bumper (G1)#Toys|Bumper]]", which would get officially recognized as a new character decades later. The mold did not continue forward into 1985 as the normal Cliffjumpers did.

: In 1984, Cliffjumper and the other Mini Vehicles came packaged in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]; in 1985, they were switched to come in [[robot mode]], a change preceded by the addition of a picture of their vehicle modes to the front of their cards. The same year, the Autobot [[insignia]] on Cliffjumper's roof/chest was replaced with a heat-activated [[rubsign]]. Later in 1985, Cliffjumper and the Mini-Vehicles came packaged with [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]].

: When he was released in Japan in 1985, "Cliff" came in a small box rather than a card. He was available in both red and yellow, both versions having the rubsign rather than the foil faction symbol.

: Cliffjumper was also sold in several countries south of the US in a wide variety of colors, which are covered in individual entries below (simply to keep this entry from getting too cluttered).

[[File:ListenNFun.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Release me from the shackles of this blister pack at once, you traitor!]]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Cliffjumper''' (''Listen 'n Fun'', 1985)}}</ul>

: Cliffjumper was packaged with an audio cassette featuring the story "[[Sun Raid (Listen 'n Fun)|Sun Raid]]" as part of Hasbro's multi-brand ''[[Listen 'n Fun]]'' subline. Most of the toys packaged with this cassette were the yellow variant mentioned above, but exceptions do exist (see photo at right).

: As the other known ''Listen 'n Fun'' releases—including [[Tripwire (G.I. Joe)|Tripwire]] for ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' and "Ember" for ''[[My Little Pony]]''—had ''intentional'' deco changes from their original releases, it is possible that Cliffjumper becoming yellow was intentional as well.

{{-}}{{anchor|IGA}}
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)}}</ul>

: When he was released in Mexico by [[IGA]], Cliffjumper came in five decoes: both the original red and yellow, as well as blue, white, and flat silver. The white and silver variations are especially notable (and significantly rarer), as they have red-painted faces.

: Years later, large numbers of Mexican Transformers somehow made it to various European markets.

: It is ''possible'' that the two red-faced Cliffjumpers are actually IGA's version of [[Hubcap (G1)#IGA|Hubcap]]. In 1986, IGA released first-year Mini Vehicle molds in colors resembling their '86 Hasbro/Takara [[retool]]s on cards for those characters, and [[:File:ToyFair1986-TFpage01a-TailgateHubCap.jpg|early Hasbro production photos of Hubcap]] show him in white with a red face. Unfortunately, still-carded samples of these two variants have yet to surface and confirm this theory.

: (See why we didn't want all this in the first Cliffjumper entry? And we're not done yet...)

{{-}}{{anchor|Estrela}}
[[File:Estrela-Carrera.jpg|thumb|Hey, they finally got my vehicle mode suffix right!|upright=1.66]]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-multi|'''Carrera''' (Robocar, 1985)}}</ul>

: Cliffjumper was released in Brazil by [[Estrela]] in 1985 as the Robocar "Carrera" (pronounced "ka-HEY-ra") - this time featuring a more accurate vehicle mode name! - and was initially available in two color schemes: his original red and black (albeit using a more vibrant shade of plastic), and metallic gold and black.

: Rather than having Autobot symbols, both are decorated with the thin tech-detail sticker from the original Takara ''Micro Change'' versions of the toy, and the kneecap sticker from [[Salt-Man Z]] on the back of the head-plate (replacing the ''Micro Change'' Japanese-text sticker). The raised "DUNLOP" branding on the tires was also removed, a change also present on the Estrela versions of the similarly-engineered [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Estrela|Volks / Bumblebee]] and [[Sedan (Robocar)|Sedan]] molds.

: Later, Estrela released blue and white versions of Carrera sporting the new "[[Optimus (faction)|Optimus]]" faction insignia; given this new factional alignment, for the purposes of this wiki, the Optimus-aligned Carrera is considered to be a [[Carrera (G1)|separate character]] from Cliffjumper.

{{-}}{{anchor|Antex}}
[[File:G1-toy Cliffjumper-Antex.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-multi|'''Carrera''' (Robocar, 1985)}}</ul>

: The aforementioned white version of Carrera was released in Argentina by [[Antex]] in 1985, along with a new green redeco, both sporting the Estrela stickers and "DUNLOP"-less tires. Later releases of the green version have been found with a different chest sticker: a large yellow paper decal that also appears on some Antex releases of [[Windcharger (G1)#Antex|"Camaro" (aka Windcharger)]].

: The card photography shows both the red and golden versions of the toy, but it is believed this was merely a holdover from the Estrela-designed packaging, and that neither coloration was ever sold in Argentina.

: These toys are more readily available on the secondary market than their Estrela predecessors. They also have lower quality control.

{{-}}{{anchor|Rubiplas}}
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)}}</ul>

: As far as foreign Mini Vehicle variants go, the Venezuelan release of Cliffjumper by [[Rubiplas]] is pretty tame. He came in both the Hasbro red and yellow versions, and retains the Hasbro stickers. However, his head lacks both the silver paint on his face, and the [[Vacuum metallizing|chrome silver]] on the "plate" part of the head, leaving it as black plastic.

{{-}}{{anchor|Lynsa}}
[[File:Lynsa-CliffjumperOrange.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|''(Peach version pictured)'']]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1987)}}</ul>

: Manufactured by [[Peru]]vian company [[Lynsa]] and sold in Peru and [[Chile]], this version of Cliffjumper is similar to the Rubiplas release, lacking any paint or chrome, but this version also has plastic tires instead of rubber. So far, two different colorations have been confirmed: the original red-and-black color scheme (albeit in a more saturated tone), and peachy-orange-and-black. It is claimed that there may be ''six'' different versions of Peruvian Cliffjumper all told, with the four others being unique to that market, but no one has been able to find and confirm the others so far.

: As with the other Lynsa Minicars, this Cliffjumper is incredibly fragile, with his arms in particular being very prone to breakage. As such, given the rarity of this toy, whatever few copies of it still exist should be handled with ''exceptional'' care.

{{note|Peruvian company BASA (which eventually changed to HUDE) apparently also (briefly) sold ''Transformers'' in Peru, but these were straight imports of Hasbro Mini Vehicles with a company sticker applied to the packaging.}}

{{-}}{{anchor|Keychain}}
[[File:G1toy cliffjumper keychain.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|He's protecting your keys from traitors.]]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Cliffjumper''' (Keychain Mini-Vehicle, 2001 / 2003 / 2007)}}</ul>

: A keychain version of Cliffjumper was released by [[Fun4All]] under license from [[Hasbro]] in the US in 2001. Though based on the original toy, this is an entirely new set of molds, with a number of small differences throughout (minor proportion differences and generally softer edges), but the most immediately obvious one is the small plastic ring added to the rear bumper to accommodate the chain. The tech-detailing sticker behind his head was replaced by a second Autobot insignia sticker like [[Hubcap (G1)#Toys|Hubcap]] has.

: In 2003, Takara released all four of the keychain Minibots (Cliffjumper, [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Keychain|Bumblebee]], [[Windcharger (G1)#keychain|Windcharger]], and [[Brawn (G1)/toys#Keychain|Brawn]]) as [[7-Eleven]] [[exclusive]]s. They came in [[blindpacking|blind-packed boxes]] so you don't know which one you got until you open 'er up, plus each one could also come in a "[[Chase figure|chase]]" all-black version exclusive to this release. The black deco was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Cliff|an evil clone]] of Cliffjumper.

: All four keychains were re-released in 2007 under the ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' banner by [[Basic Fun]] (Fun4All having gone bankrupt in 2004). Sold on new cardbacks with the ''Heroes'' look, these releases are functionally identical to the originals (just the company stamping has changed) except for the actual chain part, which is a different style with an additional black plastic tab attached.

: This version of the mold was [[redeco]]ed to make [[Tap-Out (Universe)#Toys|Tap-Out]].

:One of the earliest proposals in the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]'' line was for Bumblebee as a Volkswagen New Beetle, with Cliffjumper as the redeco. Unfortunately, VW evidently did not want to be associated with "war toys" [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|at that time]], and therefore the design never made it past the control drawing stage. Control drawings for both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have been published in the Japanese book, ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]''.

: Prior to the line's cancellation, a 6-inch resin copy depicting a transformable ''[[Titanium Series]]'' Bumblebee was seen at [[BotCon 2006]]. His [[alternate mode]] was the saucer-like car seen in Dreamwave's ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'' series, which was based on Bumblebee's Cybertronian vehicle mode in the original cartoon. An alternate head of Cliffjumper was seen as well, indicating a retool. Unfortunately, these never made it into production.

:*''Accessories'': "Wave Crusher" trailer
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro)}}

: Released in the third wave of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Deluxes, Cliffjumper is a red, silver, gray, and black [[redeco]] of the ''Classics'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Classics|Bumblebee toy]], transforming into a small sports coupe of made-up model and towing a small trailer with a non-removable jet-ski. This "[[Wave Crusher]]" trailer/jet-ski transforms into a flight-pack that clips onto Cliffjumper's back.

: This figure was the first instance of redecoing a Bumblebee toy into Cliffjumper without producing a new head, instead simply recoloring the original Bumblebee head, which would become common procedure for a good handful of Cliffjumper toys to follow. Incidentally, this would also make Classics Cliffjumper into one of the earliest pioneers of [[IP infringing item#Upgrade kits|"third party" upgrade kits]], with various companies producing alternative fan-made replacement heads that more accurately match his original design.

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Timelines|Bug Bite]].

: Released in the eighteenth wave of Takara's ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' toyline, Cliff is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Legends Class [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Bumblebee]], transforming into a modern hatchback of indeterminate (likely made-up) design. He transforms similarly to, but not exactly as, his [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Generation 1 toy]].

:Care must be taken while rolling the vehicle: pushing down while moving the vehicle forward can chip the paint underneath the hip section.

: He was only available in a three-piece set with [[Brawn (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Gong]] and the inappropriately-included [[Beachcomber (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|Beachcomber]]. During the set's initial reveal, the Legends Class Bumblebee toy was in his place (as a placeholder), causing some confusion that Takara will release another Bumblebee toy. And furthermore; Cliff's stock photo features black tires instead of light grey, but it was amended in the packaging art.

He comes with a handgun and features two wrist-mounted flip-out blades. The handgun can be stored inside his rear bumper in either mode.

:This release features an extensive metallic red paint job (which almost looks magenta under certain lighting conditions) on the car mode panels, and on some of the robot mode's parts (such as the head and forearms), replaces the dark gray plastic of the Hasbro release with a lighter tone, and switches the transparent red paint on the wheels with a more opaque, metallic red. The rear portion of his roof features a more separated paint layout than the black paint of the ''Generations'' release, and the base panel his head is on features additional black paint, with both of these giving him a paint layout almost similar to Bumblebee's. In contrast to the final product, early photos of Cliffjumper showed him with pink flip out blades and details rather than yellow, while his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts the wheel coverings beside his feet as red instead of light gray.

: ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Cliffjumper is a retool and minor redeco of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#FE|Prime: First Edition]]'' [[Cliffjumper (WFC)#First Edition|Cliffjumper]], having a new G1-styled head, replacing his red plastic and paint with a darker, metallic shade, and with lighter translucent blue plastic. He transforms into a muscle car that crossbreeds the rear of a Plymouth Barracuda with the front of a Dodge Challenger, and features flip-out triple-barreled blasters in each of his arms that can be swung out to replace his hands. He ''does'' have wrist articulation, but the plastic panels on the outer sides of his arms tend to get in the way, meaning his wrists can only easily rotate up to 90 degrees.

: Cliffjumper was originally only to be released as part of a big block of toys developed [[exclusive]]ly for release in China and other Hasbro Asia markets (which was myteriously referred to as "[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Exclusives|GDO]]"). However, [[Toys"R"Us]] picked up the whole lot of figures as part of a ''massive'' group of Transformers exclusives for U.S. and Canadian market release, just in time for the 2012 holiday shopping season.

Unusually for contemporary figures released as part of this assortment, the figure's deco is notably different from the ''Henkei! Henkei!'' version listed above: The gray plastic used for the legs, the crotch and the wheels is replaced with black, the paint operations on the insides of the arms are also changed from gray to black and expanded to cover a section left unpainted on the ''Henkei'' version, the front grille is left unpainted, and the windows are [[tampograph]]ed in a slightly different shade.<ref name="2014legion">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-feedback/1040835-classic-legion-cliffjumper.html Review of 2014 Legion Class Cliffjumper] at TFW2005, including a comparison with ''Henkei'' Cliff.</ref>

:Cliffjumper comes in packaging that is based on the packaging design for the concurrently released ''Combiner Wars''-era ''Generations'' figures, but replaces the name ''Generations'' with "Authentic Transformers". Since Cliffjumper and his [[wave]]-mates ship with three figures previously released under what we consider a generic [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|2014 ''Transformers'' toy line]], all of them now in the new packaging style, we consider Cliffjumper to be part of that line as well. The [[package art]] used for Cliffjumper is recolored from the package art of ''Generations Thrilling 30'' Legends Class [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generations|Bumblebee]], an entirely different sculpt, and was previously also used (in its original colors) for the previous release of the Bumblebee figure this Cliffjumper is redecoed from.

: After years of mostly being a Bumblebee redeco, ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Cliffjumper is a cartoon-accurate mold (complete with accurate, non-Bumblebee head; although he does have Bumblebee's biceps), while omitting the Penny Racer aesthetic for his vehicle mode, transforming into a 1980s sports coupe that is strongly reminiscent of his original Porsche 924 alt-mode, though with a front end which resembles that of the {{w|Mitsubishi Starion}}. Cliffjumper also has molded high-performance brake discs, a surprising detail for a mainline ''Transformers'' figure. Like all Deluxe Class figures of the ''War for Cybertron'' subline, Cliffjumper includes numerous 3 mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] for attaching other accessories as part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], but due to his small size he cannot easily accommodate an entire Weaponizer or [[A.I.R. Lock System|Modulator]] figure. Undocumented in the instructions, Cliffjumper's ball-jointed neck is actually mounted on a hinge, and when popped out of its housing offers a larger range of articulation.

: In keeping with his depiction as being rather small in most Transformers media, this figure is much smaller than a typical Deluxe Class and is closer to being a particularly large Legends class-sized figure. The rest of his price-point is made up for with his arsenal, that being [[Cliffjumper's bazooka|a large cannon]] similar to one he briefly used in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]", which can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis which can attach under his wheels to form the [[hydrofoil]]s seen in "[[Dinobot Island, Part 2]]". The backend of the cannon can fold out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed, while also being usable as a melee weapon. It can also mount on either his thigh or on the side or top of his shoulder, meaning you can put the entire cannon in these spots. Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car trunk can either be put into the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. This peg and the backend of the cannon use a unique post and port to connect to each other.

:The promotional renders and early product samples showcased at conventions showed his weapons and skis being silver, while the final product had them cast in black plastic (with the guns being painted silver except for their handles). The majority of Cliffjumper is molded in black plastic with a generous coating of red paint. His forearms and most of his head appear to be the only pieces molded in red plastic.

:Similar to the first release of Starscream from the [[War for Cybertron: Siege|previous line]], Cliffjumper uses the movie variant of the Autobot insignia, rather than the traditional design. Due to the transformation engineering, the insignia is hidden away in robot mode, with no secondary insignia to display.

:Like all ''Earthrise'' toys, the inside of the back of Cliffjumper's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. Cliffjumper's piece of the map contains a labeled entry point to the "[[Dead Universe|DEAD UNIVERSE]]".

:His [[glass gas]] blaster was sold separately as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Deluxe Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]].

:In Japan, Cliffjumper was a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive.

:Cliffjumper was retooled with a new head into ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Hubcap (G1)#Generations Selects|Hubcap]] and [[Bug Bite (G1)#Generations Selects|Bug Bite]], ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Goldbug (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Goldbug]], ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#WorldsCollide|Bumblebee]], and more extensively retooled into ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Bumblebee]], a reverse to the traditional norm.

:Released in the ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' line as part of the ''[[Studio Series]]'' line up, Cliffjumper is a redeco of the ''Earthrise'' toy above, replacing the translucent windshield with light blue opaque plastic and giving him the [[show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] gray and black arms and legs. Unlike the original ''Earthrise'' figure Cliffjumper is (mostly) cast in his intended colors as opposed to being made of black plastic painted red, greatly reducing the risk of paint chipping and scratching the original suffered from (mind the forearms, though). He now also sports two Autobot [[insignia]]; one on his hood, the other on his roof. Both insignia use the Generation 1 design, rather than the live-action film design that the ''Earthrise'' toy had.

Like said original figure, Cliff re-uses the same basic transformation scheme as his wave-mate, ''Missing Link'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Missing Link|Bumble]], this time by way of being a direct retool of Bumble; per TakaraTomy's product description, Cliff uses roughly 80% new tooling to give Cliff his distinct "penny-racer" style Porsche 924 alt-mode. Like the rest of the ''Missing Link'' line, Cliff takes advantage of modern toy engineering advances to give his mechanics a notable overhaul, enabling ''much'' more [[articulation]] compared to the original, including shoulders, elbows, knees, "neck" rotation, outward leg motion, and an ankle tilt.

: Cliff also comes with two shiny metallic weapons: in addition to a [[Photon rifle]] ([[:File:Cliffjumper wielding photon rifle(G1).jpeg|being the weapon he held]] in "[[Transport to Oblivion (episode)|Transport to Oblivion]]", rather than simply reusing Bumble's pistol) he also has [[Cliffjumper's bazooka|a bazooka]], directly modeled after the one seen in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]". Also packed in with Cliff are a collector's card and a sticker sheet, which lets you choose to display Cliff with either the standard Autobot insignia or the noticeably stretched version seen on his original package art. Like all other ''Missing Link'' releases, Cliff and all his pack-ins are neatly inserted in a polystyrene tray.

:''Missing Link'' Cliff was officially revealed in early May 2024, and shortly afterward went up for pre-order on Japanese retail sites for a November 2024 release.

: Unlike Bumble who is licensed, Cliff does not feature a Porsche logo on the back of the packaging.

:''Missing Link'' "Cliff (Anime Type)" is a [[show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] redeco of the above figure, with blue eyes, gray limbs, and transparent blue windshields. He features a [[rubsign]] on the bottom of his right foot. Cliff comes with his rifle and bazooka, now light gray instead of chromed, and a collector card.

:The second ([[#BW8613|technically]]) ''[[Studio Series]]'' Cliffjumper is a retool of the line's [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Studio Series|86-29 Bumblebee]], transforming into a Penny Racer-proportioned approximation of a Porsche 924 Carrera GTR like his original toy and cartoon appearances. He comes with a blaster based on one he uses in the episode "[[Traitor (episode)|Traitor]]" (itself reused from [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage's]] model), that can be pegged onto the back of both modes.

:Like Bumbleblee, Cliffjumper ends up with two Autobot [[insignia]]—one in the middle of his roof (cartoon-accurate for robot mode) and one off-centre on the hood (accurate for vehicle mode), and his windows are black instead of a screen-accurate blue to maintain consistency with portions of the windows that are made of black unpaintable plastic, though this does make the vehicle mode more closely resemble the [[#The Transformers|original toy]]. Unfortunately, the limitations of the mold layout also result in the black and light grays of his pelvis and legs being inverted compared to his cartoon design, while his gray shoulder hinges noticeably stand out against his red vehicle mode.

:Cliffjumper was revealed on [[April 24]], 2026. This mold was also used to make [[Bumper (G1)#Age of the Primes|''Age of the Primes'' Bumper]].

===Happy Meal Toy===
[[File:Mcdonalds cliffjumper.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Cliffjumper''' (1985)

:Non-poseable, non-transforming figurines of Cliffjumper and three of his Mini-Vehicle chums (Bumblebee, [[Gears (G1)|Gears]] and Brawn) made up the very first line of Transformers [[List of Transformers restaurant promotions|Happy Meal toys]]. Alas, the figures did not see a full release, and were only test-marketed in St. Louis, Missouri. The two-tone figures were available in a variety of colour variations, with at least six different combinations for each of the four characters: in addition to his traditional red and black, Cliffjumper is known to have been available in green and black, blue and black, blue and red, black and red, and cyan and black.

:A soft rubber figurine—known in Japan as a ''keshigomu''—of Cliffjumper was released as part of the first wave of [[Kabaya]]'s earliest [[candy toy]] line, ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]''. Based more on his toy than his animation model, Cliffjumper came packaged with chocolate-covered caramel candies, and was available in various colours, including white, blue, sky blue, yellow, green, and orange.

*'''Jogo dos Transformers''' (1985)
:A tiny generic red car representing "Carrera" (Cliffjumper per his original toy name in Brazil) was included as a pawn in [[Estrela]]'s ''[[Jogo dos Transformers]]'' board game. He is not directly named, simply being called the "carrinho vermelho" (little red car) in the game's instructions, but his identity is revealed as a pair of cards featuring art of his original toy in vehicle mode are also included. He comes with a small sticker that's placed on the bottom of the car representing his robot mode, thus allowing him to roughly "transform" by being placed vertically - a little bit like what [[Robot Powered Machines]] would do about a pair of decades later.

:This same car was recolored to represent [[Bumblebee (G1)/merchandise#Estrela|Volks (AKA Bumblebee)]], [[Windcharger_(G1)#Estrela|Camaro (AKA Windcharger)]], and [[Sedan (Robocar)|Sedan]] in the same board game.

:Cliffjumper was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Cliffjumper was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Cliffjumper was available as part of a 9-piece box set of Autobot figures, as a playing piece in the Defeat Dinosauruer Strategy Game and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.

*'''Cliffjumper''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''28'''

:The Cliffjumper figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (28, in Cliffjumper's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

**''Accessories:'' one "Laser Blaster", one alternate masked head, three pairs of hands (relaxed, closed, posed)
:A new-head retool of [[Threezero]]'s [[Bumblebee (G1)/merchandise#Threezero|MDLX Bumblebee]], Cliffjumper is an original design taking inspiration from the original cartoon but with the aesthetics in the vein of the live-action movies. Cliffjumper is a smaller scaled non-transforming action figure in the vein of contemporary collector-oriented lines like ''Figma'' and ''S.H. Figuarts''. Like those lines, the figure is extremely well-articulated and detailed, features interchangeable hands and heads, with the alternate visored face specifically resembling Bumblebee's G1 toy. The three pairs of hands he comes with are relaxed splayed-open hands, closed fists, and posed hands meant to hold his included Laser Blaster (which in turn is based on Bumblebee's pistol used in the cartoon). His back tire is also removable.

:While stock photos (at right) show him with the standard Autobot insignia, the final product uses the movie variant instead.

:In the Unites States, he is a ''PX Previews'' exclusive.

:Created under the line of small, cuddly little 'bots, [[Mochibots Transformers Plush|Mochibots]] Cliff is a 5.5 Inch tall, stylized version of the character, featuring rounded shapes and chubbier proportions to make a stuffed representation of Cliffjumper's Sunbow Cartoon Animation model, complete with a circle on the back representing his spare tire. Every detail is made via sewn-on detail, which provides added texture to the finished product, though, as a result, the Autobot insignia seems to be squinting. Cliff's eyes and window detailing are made from a special, sparkly fabric which shimmers a little under light.

:Cliffjumper was released as part of the first wave of Mochibots plush toys, alongside Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Shattered Glass Optimus Prime in 2023. This line was exclusive to China and Japan, with almost all of them being locked to Asia via [[amiami|amiami's]] storefront.

:Released in the second wave of ''Galaxy Version'' line of blind boxes, [[Blokees]] Cliffjumper is a roughly 4-inch tall, highly-articulated, and non-transforming snap-on model kit of the Autobot scout. He is built on a "Standard Body" skeleton shared with other Blokees figures in the line, but with different body pieces to make them distinct. As advertised in the box, Cliffjumper has a pull rate of 1 in every 9 boxes, or three times across four cases.

:Cliffjumper comes with a pair of closed and open hands, an Autobot pistol, a translucent Energon Cube, and a pair of Autobot/Decepticon insignias that can be plugged onto either of the peg holes. The barrel of the pistol is compatible with the blast effects included with other Galaxy Version kits. Cliffjumper also comes with a stand with four studs on top, which he can be plugged into and connected to similar stands.

As with the rest of the kits starting from this wave, he also features a small amount of new articulation points, particularly the double-sided ball-and-socket joint at the waist.

*The ''[[Microman]]'' ''[[Micro Change]]'' toy that would become Cliffjumper was also available in light blue. To date, this deco has never been used in ''Transformers'' outside of Mexico.
*Though often a straight redeco of Bumblebee in non-Japanese countries, there has yet to be a Cliffjumper produced by TakaraTomy that is a straight redeco of the same line's Bumblebee.

: Released in the second year of Hasbro's ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' toyline (first year in European markets), Blitzwing is a [[redeco]] of the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Triple Changer Jet Fighter Type", and can transform into either a Soviet MiG-25 fighter jet or a Japanese Type-74 assault tank. His jet mode has spring-loaded missile launchers in the wings, but all U.S. versions had the spring-loaded missile launchers [[for safety reasons|severely weakened]], while the Japanese releases kept the full-strength launching mechanisms. The tank turret on the original Blitzwing toy can be taken off, while later releases feature a turret that cannot be removed.

: For all of those who don't know, the toy actually has horizontal stabilizers that flip out of the back of his jet mode! This seems to be a feature most owners of the toy overlook, just due to them being well-hidden in his other modes. Also, as illustrated in the [[instructions]], the tank mode’s airplane cockpit [[kibble]] is meant to be in the ''back'' of the tank.

: This mold was returned to its ''Diaclone'' coloration and re-released in 2005 as [[Overcharge (G1)#Toys|Overcharge]], an [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive—which can also double as Blitzwing's original form in the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity]] (see [[#Collector's Edition|below]]).

: Part of the third wave of [[2012]]-[[2013]]'s ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Blitzwing is a modern reinterpretation of his original toy, and transforms into two vaguely futuristic vehicles: a jet with an opening cockpit and back-mounted rocket boosters, as well as a tank with a rotating turret and a spring-loaded cannon that launches its missile when the barrel is compressed. The cannon can be swung out and deployed for use in jet mode. He comes with a blaster and a sword, both of which mount/are held by [[5 mm post]]. He features 5 mm ports for his hands, shoulders/vehicle sides, cannon base, and wings, while both weapons have numerous additional posts and ports.

:In a nod to his ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Blitzwing (Animated)|incarnation]], he sports a face-swapping feature, allowing him to switch between a more traditional, visored face, a monocled face (inspired by the ''Animated'' character's 'Icy' persona), and a black jack-o'-lantern-like face (inspired by the ''Animated'' character's 'Random' persona). Unlike his inspiration however, the toy's faces spin vertically rather than horizontally.

:The toy is renowned for two significant [[design flaw]]s. The first is that tabs meant to anchor the robot shoulders to the chest never solidly lock into place—they are simply too far apart. This makes his shoulder assemblies swing up and out of his chest when the shoulders are rotated up. Pressing the shoulder slots into the chest tabs ''sometimes'' works to counter this, but it depends on the [[Quality control|tolerances]] of each individual figure. The problem can be completely eliminated with a little work:
:#For those not wishing to modify the toy itself, spacing material can be affixed to the back of the shoulder piece. This creates support in the back and allows the front tabs to remain in place.
:#Alternately, one can disassemble the figure and lightly sand the screw mounts and inside chest walls on the front half, bringing the back of the figure and the front closer together, and allowing the shoulder assemblies to lock in completely solid as originally intended. This has the potential risk of over-sanding, which prevents the legs from clipping securely to his chest for his vehicle modes.
:The second major flaw concerns the face-swapping feature; almost universally, this does not actually end up working because the rotating faces are rendered immobile by an excess of paint on the inside of the helmet, including the post the faces are mounted on. This can be fixed by dismantling the head, removing the faces, and trimming the excess paint in the helmet interior, or in some circumstances, by leaving the toy in a freezer until the inner-helmet paint becomes brittle enough to crack by exerting pressure on the faces, allowing the faces to move as designed. Unfortunately, the yellow paint is also prone to rubbing off when transformed due the rubber used to create the jet mode's nosecone.

:There are two [[variant]]s of Blitzwing: The first version sports an all-silver Decepticon [[insignia]] on its chest and has the missile inserted into the turret inside the packaging, no extra space for the missile in the plastic tray behind the turret and no holes cut for tying down the missile, while a later running change changed the Decepticon insignia's color to purple, with a silver outline, and has the missile tied down in the plastic tray behind the turret.<ref name="genvari1">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/944880-variant-generations-blitzwing.html TFW2005 thread] about ''Generations'' Blitzwing's Decepticon insignia variant.</ref><ref name="genvari2">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/897354-generation-blitzwing-packaging-bubble-variant-fyi.html TFW2005 thread] about ''Generations'' Blitzwing's missile-placement-inside-the-packaging variant.</ref> Oddly, the official Hasbro [[stock photography|stock photo]] of the toy inside its packaging depicts the later version.

:The Japanese release sports a more metallic gold paint application as opposed to the lemon yellow gloss of his helmet, additional purple paint on his thighs and shoulders, dark metallic gray paint within his cockpit, and additional silver paint on his torso. The neck of the figure is now painted black rather than yellow to better blend in with the lower portion of his three faces. Some of the silver detailing on his torso was changed to gold. The figure also features a lighter, more metallic purple, lighter tan, and silver paint on all his gray plastic. The rubberized nose cone's colors are now more in sync with the entire body's purple. The scimitar weapon is molded in a solid purple plastic as opposed to the Hasbro version's "blade" being painted in a lighter hue to simulate an "energon" effect. The same design flaws that plagued the Hasbro release were also carried over in the Tomy version with the exception of the face switching gimmick issue.

:Blitzwing was [[retool]]ed into ''Generations'' [[Doubledealer#Generations|Doubledealer]] and ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' [[Starscream (Cloud)#Cloud 2|Starscream]], neither of which fixed the mold's shoulder problem. The design of the figure also inspired the look of [[Flywheels#2005 IDW continuity|Flywheels]] in the 2005 IDW continuity.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

:Released as part of the fifth (and final) wave of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Voyager Class toys, Blitzwing is a redeco/retool of [[Megatron (G1)/Generations toys#Titans Return|Megatron]]. He also comes with [[Hazard]], a Titan Master who transforms into Blitzwing's head. Hasbro's stock photo (see right) has the figure transformed using Megatron's instructions, but a more animation-accurate depiction of the character can be achieved by simply rotating the tail wings forward, leaving the jet wings unfolded, and keeping the tank barrel attached to the turret. Like Megatron, Blitzwing is capable of transforming into his tank mode without removing his head, though this leaves it exposed completely on the vehicle's back.

:A recurring issue with many examples of the figure involves the figure's thighs being coated in so much paint that it affects the clearance and range of motion on the joints connected to them. This results in stiff thigh swivels and may sometimes prevent the shins from properly folding up and locking into the hips for either vehicle mode. The Blitzwing face on Hazard's back is also coated in heavy amounts of paint, causing the facial details to become nearly indiscernible. Additionally, the tabs that keep the arms in place in robot and tank mode and the panels in the legs in vehicle mode are both very prone to popping out. The stickers on the wings seem especially prone to peeling, sometimes doing so right out of the box.

: He also comes with the mammoth/tank/cannon-bot [[Big Convoy (Legends)#Toys|Big Fight]].

: Interestingly, his instructions and stock photography depict an alternate transformation for the robot mode, leaving the jet mode tail fins less transformed in order to more closely match his animation model.

{{toydesigner|[[Mark Maher]] (Hasbro), [[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] (detailing), [[Emiliano Santalucia]] (concept artist), [[AJ Piejko-Brown]] (packaging)}}

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy]]'' Leader Class toys, Blitzwing is a mostly cartoon-accurate version of the character. In particular, his head is based more on his appearance from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' onwards, while the deco on his chest replicates sticker detailing from his original [[#The_Transformers|G1 toy]]. He transforms into either his fighter jet mode in 32 steps, or his tank mode in 41 steps. The visible plane cockpit in tank mode is intentional as to replicate the error in his cartoon model. Also like the cartoon model, the jet mode is lacking any horizontal stabilizers.

: His accessories include his sword and a pair of his original guns, which can all mount on his vehicle modes via various 5 mm holes, and two large [[Energon]] gauntlets with detachable hands. Said gauntlets can plug into his robot mode arms, plug into the back of the jet mode as boosters, or reconfigure into missile racks for the tank mode's turret. His accessories can all be stored on Blitzwing's back in robot mode, including the gauntlets which can be stored by plugging them into the tank turret, while pointing the turret down instead of up. As the [[5 mm post]] is very short and near the front of the gauntlets, it can be difficult to get him to hold them securely. [[For safety reasons]], the blade of his sword is cast in softer, slightly rubbery plastic.

: Like many Leaders since 2019, Blitzwing stands about as tall as contemporary Voyager-class figures but features additional accessories and a more complex transformation. He has a prominent plastic seam running straight through the middle of his eyes, and once you've noticed it you can never un-notice it.... uh, sorry.

: This figure was revealed by CBR a day prior to the [[April 12]], [[2022]] Fan First Tuesday.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/new-transformers-generations-legacy-figure-line-announced-by-hasbro ''EXCLUSIVE: Transformers Debuts Wild Rider, Blitzwing Legacy Figures'' - on CBR]</ref>

: Blitzwing was later re-released as part of the second wave of ''Legacy: Evolution'' Leader Class toys. There are no discernible changes from the original release. As with fellow [[package refresh]] figures [[Dirge (G1)/toys#Legacy|Dirge]] and [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Legacy|Transmetal II Megatron]], his box lacks the [[Evo-Fusion]] gimmick callout.

: This mold was also used to make ''Legacy: United'' [[Overcharge (G1)#Legacy|Overcharge]].

He is built on a "Standard Body" skeleton shared with other Blokees figures in the line, but with different body pieces to make them distinct. As advertised in the box, Blitzwing has a pull rate of 1 in every 9 boxes. Aside from the 2 pairs of hands, Blitzwing comes with his signature rifle and scimitar. In addition to the ball-jointed waist from the previous entry, Blitzwing also features updated articulation, including a slide-down hip joint axis, rotating upper thigh joints, and improved double-jointed knee articulation, similar to his wave mates.

:Because the newly designed knee joints are made to fit the narrow gaps in the thighs and lower legs, they are incompatible with joints from previous releases, including those used for the elbows.

:If you're a speed builder, be mindful when attaching the pre-assembled elbow joints; unlike the symmetrical joints from earlier waves, both ends of the pegs were meant to attach to a specific position, but it still won't affect the articulation if you're doing it wrong.

:Along with the rest of the wavemates, Blitzwing is first revealed at Blokees' booth at the IBTE 2025 (Indonesia International Baby Products & Toys Expo) event.

: Released in the third year of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original ''The Transformers'' toyline]], Cyclonus transforms into a purple Cybertronian fighter craft with forward-swept wings (the first Transformers toy to use such a design). Like fellow 1986 new arrival [[Scourge (G1)/toys|Scourge]], Cyclonus has working hip and knee articulation ''not'' involved in his transformation, uncommon for "Generation 1" figures; these were apparently regarded as important enough for his design that there is an entire transformation step devoted to opening up panels that block leg movement. Oddly, the [[instructions]] list the toy's removable wingtips as though they were an action feature.

: [[Variant|Early releases]] of Cyclonus had his midfrif and part of his "ears" painted blue, while later releases left those areas unpainted; the earlier blue specimens tend to be more in demand to collectors. The soft rubbery [[plastic]] on Cyclonus' nosecone can deteriorate over time, feeling slimy to the touch; this is worsened on specimens that have been [[Mint in sealed box|kept in the original packaging for years]].

:This toy had a notable number of "intermediate" designs that led to some confusion in published materials later on. Like the other new characters created for ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', Cyclonus was designed for animation first, and had his toy based on these designs. However, while the toy was based on an earlier design (most notably featuring folded back wings), the [[character model|animation model]] underwent further modifications before being finalized. The earlier design was the basis for [[Cyclonus (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|the Marvel Comics version of the character]], and also erroneously appeared in a few instances in [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the cartoon series]]. The uncertainty of Cyclonus' final design was probably the reason for his ''[[The Transformers Universe (Marvel)|Transformers Universe]]'' profile describing his jet mode as "multi-engine (and perhaps multi-wing)". The [[Toy Fair 1986]] catalogue shows the Cyclonus toy with a different color scheme, including a mainly silver head, that was also seen in his earliest Marvel Comics appearances and the [[Ladybird Books|Ladybird Book]] ''[[Galvatron's Air Attack]]''. Also his name was swapped with [[Scourge (G1)/toys|Scourge]]. Another change from preproduction was the orientation of the stickers situated behind his cockpit windows. Right up until the final toy, all samples showed these arranged so that the orange streaks matched up with those on the wing stickers, and the angle of the leading edge matched the curve of the windows; the final instructions rotated them 180 degrees.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=So, to summarise, early mock-ups and pre-production specimens of G1 Cyclonus had mostly handmade stickers and a certain orientation of trapezoidal stickers #1 and #2 off the stickersheet that remained consistent across the box stock photography, catalogues, Toy Fair literature and even the mock-ups and samples themselves. Final stage pre-production samples with almost-final stickers and moulding still shared the same trapezoidal sticker orientation as the earlier mock-ups. For production and retail release, most stickers were updated to feature more distinct detail, but not #1 and #2, they stayed the same as seen in the earliest mock-ups. The instructions, however, now showed a different orientation for stickers #1 and #2 that was then carried forward to the Targetmaster stock photography the following year.|link=https://tfsquareone.blogspot.com/2019/09/hasbro-g1-cyclonus-figure-sticker.html|name=Maz|site=Transformers Square One|title=Hasbro G1 Cyclonus - Figure & Sticker History|year=2019|month=09|day=22}}</ref>

: ''[[Transformers: Expanded Universe|Expanded Universe]]'' Cyclonus is a redeco of ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' [[Jetstorm (BM)#BMUltra|Ultra Jetstorm]], transforming into a Cybertronic fighter jet. His jet mode cockpit/neck is geared up with the pop-up gun turret on his back so that both turn in the same direction when moved. This turret launches two spring-loaded missiles, and has a [[Light-emitting diode|light-up feature]] - the latter noteworthy as being the ''only'' BotCon exclusive toy to ever retain such a feature, since as a rule electronics tended to get removed to save money.

: Cyclonus has both a "normal" bipedal robot mode and a "flight robot mode" with pop-out thruster engines. His [[spark]] crystal was [[tampograph]]ed with a Decepticon sigil, covering up the [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] symbol beneath.

: Cyclonus was available [[exclusive]]ly at [[BotCon 2002]], limited to 1500 pieces.

Oddly, Cyclonus's right hand is the only one with a hole to hold Nightstick in, a very rare feature amongst two-handed ''Transformers'' toys. An undocumented feature (in both the Hasbro and Takara versions) is that Nightstick can also mount to either of Cyclonus's wrists by leaving the hands folded in, exposing a tab-slot, a la ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]''... in which Cyclonus wasn't a Targetmaster.

:[[File:KreO-Toy CyclonusLavKreon.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1|''(Variant version pictured)'']]
: Unusual for Kreons, there is actually a [[variant|running change]] in Cyclonus's original production run, leading to two distinctly different versions without any kind of packaging change. One version matches the [[stock photography]] on the bag-back (mostly), with a light lavender base plastic and leg-paint, which made him look a ''lot'' like Galvatron. The other is darker purple more matching the [[Cyclonus (G1)#Toys|original Cyclonus toy]]. Initially, the lavender version had only been found in bags marked "'''40131 36'''", while the darker version was found in ''all'' bag-number variations, ''including'' the 40131 batches.

: "Initially" because later releases of Collection 4 —which lack the individual-identifying bag codes— brought the lavender Cyclonus back, but this time with his cuffs painted dark purple to match the stock photography where the original lavender Cyclonus had lavender cuffs. Oy! He also has the 2014 [[retool]]ing to the arms the make them better as studs.

:He uses the [[Inferno (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Inferno]]-style helmet... just like Galvatron does! Awwww.

: Released in the third wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Voyagers, Cyclonus is a [[redeco]] and hefty [[retool]] of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Silverbolt (G1)#Combiner Wars|Silverbolt]], transforming into a dark purple Cybertronian fighter craft surprisingly close to his original animation model, given existing mold constraints. He also gains two small tailfins, held in Cyclonus' exposed hands in vehicle mode, which plug into the [[5 mm post|5mm holes]] on Cyclonus' forearms to mimic the original character model's forearm fins. These tailfins can also be used as dagger weapons in robot mode. He includes a silver version of Silverbolt's rifle, which can be held in Cyclonus's or Galvatronus's hands, or mounted underneath Cyclonus's nosecone in fighter craft mode (although it won't insert fully, thanks to the placement of one of the nosecone's screws). The winged rear section of the rifle can be detached and used by Cyclonus as a shield.

: He also transforms into the torso of [[Galvatronus (CW)#Toys|Galvatronus]]; any combination of limb-bots counts as "Galvatronus", regardless of faction.

: As seen on the photo at the right, the vehicle mode's vertical fins are assembled incorrectly, with the control surface detailing facing forward. This can easily be fixed by popping them off their hinges and flipping them around.

:Like many Hasbro projects in the modern era, ''Combiner Wars'' Cyclonus had a "pretooled" alternate head that wound up unused. In the case of Cyclonus's body tooling, the alternate head was that of [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Notes|Starscream]].<ref>[https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/127888-tfss-50-live-update-now-open-to-formers-members-2012-and-on/?p=3441580 Post by Powered Convoy on The Allspark Forums, 13 February 2017]</ref>

The translucent nosecone spike is now ''very'' soft, with the consistency of a "Wacky Wall-Walker" toy. Nightstick is absent from this figure, replaced with a translucent version of the [[musket laser]] originally included with ''Generations'' [[Kup (G1)/toys#Generations|Sergeant Kup]], though lacking the ball-jointed [[C joint]] of the original. And for the first time, this mold's left hand has been retooled to have a [[5 mm post|5mm fisthole]], though [[:File:TF-Platinum-Edition-Cyclonus-Stock.jpg|stock photography]] incorrectly shows the original left fist.

:Cyclonus was released as part of three-pack with [[Scourge (G1)/toys#ArmadaOfCyclonus|Scourge]] and "[[Sweep (G1)#Generations|Decepticon Sweeps]]", named "Armada of Cyclonus". Despite officially being touted as "available online" by Hasbro at [[BotCon 2016]], thereby implying a "shared exclusive" between multiple online retailers for the United States market (which would usually include the likes of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], [[BigBadToyStore]], Entertainment Earth, and [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]), it was ultimately only ever listed and stocked by two US-based online stores, namely TFSource and Scramble Core, both of whom obtain their stock through Asian vendors. The set ''did'' see a somewhat more widespread release in Hasbro's Asian markets (most notably Singapore) and, more surprisingly, was even officially released in Canada (where it was sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and also made available via [[Walmart]]'s Canadian website, though never sold in stores) and the United Kingdom (where it was available via the UK [[Toys"R"Us]] website). It was also listed very early on by Amazon's Spanish subsidiary, but was ultimately never stocked by them.

: Released in the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' Voyagers to commemorate the 35th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', Cyclonus is a 7-inch-tall mold that is unprecedentedly accurate to his appearance in the Generation 1 cartoon. His reveal press release describes him as having been reformatted from "[[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]]/[[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]/Both/[[Life Spark|Neither]]". Mechanical details are sculpted into the seams of his shoulder swivels, visible when his arms hinge at the side. His oxidating laser can be plugged into the top of his jet mode, similar to his ''Universe'' toy. His jet mode can also deploy landing gear at the nosecone and thruster areas.

:His [[Hasbro]] stock photos are mistransformed, with the hands not hidden away in vehicle mode, and the wings only half-folded into shape behind the shoulders in robot mode. Additionally, the image of his vehicle mode on the back of his packaging shows his Oxidating Laser plugged into a port that doesn't exist.

:If one folds either of Cyclonus' hands into his forearms to reveal the [[5 mm post|5mm-compatible thrusters]] for his vehicle mode, it is possible to attach weapons with a backward-facing 5mm peg onto the wrist-nozzle in a way similar to his ''Universe'' figure. However, his Oxidating Laser lacks the backward-facing peg that would allow the weapon to point forward while pegged in.

:Cyclonus' unpaintable plastic, in both silver and dull purple, is notoriously prone to [[photodegradation]] in certain conditions, causing it to have a visibly yellowed tone. One can easily tell if this has happened by comparing the color of his gray plastic to the adjacent silver paint (which unfortunately has a tendency to scrape off his thighs due to transformation.)

:Cyclonus comes with a [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]] card that "[[Source:Golden Disk destinies|reveals a possible destiny of a key character]]", with each character having three possible destiny variants. Cyclonus was later heavily retooled into ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Evolution (2023)|Legacy: Evolution]]'' [[Metalhawk (G1)#Legacy|Metalhawk]] and ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Legacy: United|Legacy: United]]'' [[Ferak#Legacy|Ferak]].

The set includes Blowpipe's original blast effect, which can be split apart into two pieces, and the one included with his redeco, ''Siege'' [[Caliburst (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Caliburst]], both now in purple.

:Initial sample photos depicted lower leg stickers that would block the jet landing gear, but stickers were properly cut on the final release. The final sheet includes alternate Decepticon insignias to better mimic the G1 toy's jet mode—though these would then be upside down in robot mode. Surprisingly, the stickers behind his cockpit are designed to match preproduction samples of Cyclonus' toy, as evidenced by the correctly oriented orange streaks that match the wing stickers.

:There were widespread reports of this piece having loose shoulder joints, making it difficult to pose it with frontward-raised arms. Multiple specimens also surfaced with the two fuselage attachment clips having been molded from two noticeably non-matching shades of purple plastic.

:Cyclonus & Nightstick were revealed on [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] [[Australia]] prior to their official reveal by only over 12 hours.

:A PVC figurine of Cyclonus was part of the eighth act of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' series in 2002. Each case of twelve PVCs had two Cyclonuses; one in full-color, the other pewter-finish.

:The color version of Cyclonus came with the right leg of the Act's "build-a-figure", [[Scorponok (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Scorponok]]. These parts could be in either full color or pewter, packed at a ratio of six color parts per four pewter parts.

:The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms; shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue.

This release was cast in transparent red plastic and painted over (in a more lavender tone than the ''SCF'' version's light blue), leaving his eyes and back of his head unpainted to try for a [[light-piping]] effect, though the result ends up on him having a visor. The mold was also modified to have the pointed edges on his horns and wing-tips rounded off [[for safety reasons]].

BluJayWarrior: /* Collaborative */ changing to table wave format

[[File:NFL.png|200px|thumb|]]

The '''N.F.L.''' is a professional football organization in the [[United States of America|United States]]. The [[Seattle Seahawks]] are one of their teams, and their annual championship game is the [[Super Bowl]].

==Fiction==
===Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics===
When [[Joey Slick]], who made it big after robbing a bank, came across [[Clyde]] and his football-playing friends, he asked how "tomorrow's N.F.L. all-pros" were doing. The children responded that there was more money in robbing banks and that they had adjusted their aspirations as such. {{storylink|Shooting Star!}}

==Toys==
===''Collaborative''===
The NFL's entry in the ''[[Transformers Collaborative|Collaborative]]'' toyline consists of a series of Deluxe-sized figures that transform into football helmets, each representing a different NFL team. All the figures share the same body, with several different head sculpts split across the figures. Each figure includes a removable helmet for their robot mode as well as a football accessory which they can hold.

Circular reporting

2026-04-21T18:50:09Z

BluJayWarrior: /* Age of the Primes Sideways */ updating to reflect image changes

[[File:AHM 15cvrB.jpg|right|thumb|200px|The cover for ''[[The Transformers: All Hail Megatron]]'' [[All Hail Megatron issue 15|issue #15]], featuring text from [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor's article on this wiki.]]]]
As befitting a franchise that has run continuously for {{#expr: {{CURRENTYEAR}}-1984}} years, the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]] is a vast and sprawling one. However, as an intellectual property based around the inherently transient medium of [[To sell toys|merchandising]], both [[Hasbro]] and [[TakaraTomy]] have, historically, taken a laissez-faire approach to storytelling and don't have a complete, centralized repository of internal reference material.

As a result, the largest compendium of ''Transformers'' knowledge is, in fact, this [[TFWiki.Net|very website]] you are reading this article on right now, and many creatives have confirmed that they have used our wiki when writing stories or looking for toy references. While wikis have a few advantages over "in-house" lore bibles—they can be edited by anyone, not just professionals, for instance—their main downside is that... well, they can be edited by anyone. Although we at {{SITENAME SHORT}} strive for accuracy and neutrality when covering ''Transformers'' topics, there have been cases where inaccurate, misleading or misinterpreted information on this very wiki have gone on to inform official ''Transformers'' toys and fiction.

Of course, people working on official Transformers work use references outside of the wiki, namely other sites reporting on ''Transformers'', leaving the door open for many, many more errors. See the [[Miscolorings based on the Generation 1 cartoon|miscolorings]] page for more information.

This phenomenon is formally termed '''{{w|circular reporting}}''', commonly nicknamed '''citogenesis''' due to a 2011 [https://xkcd.com/978/ xkcd webcomic strip] that satirized the concept. This article provides a non-comprehensive cross-section of such mishaps.

{{quote|Some of the biggest shows and franchises you follow have zero in-house continuity documents. They do everything off of fan wikis.|{{w|Gail Simone}}|Twitter<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Now, I am not talking about some niche comic book property, I am talking about massively successful film, game and tv properties.

{{TOC|limit=3}}

==Hasbro's in-house continuity documents==
[[File:Ultimateguide.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Comprehensive. Definitive. Authoritative.]]
In the mid-2000s, Hasbro licensees were provided with copies of [[Simon Furman]]'s ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]'' as reference—notably, [[Roberto Orci]] and [[Alex Kurtzman]] regularly consulted the guide while writing the 2007 ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' movie. In a similar vein, [[IDW Publishing]]'s reprints of [[Dreamwave Productions]]' ''[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]'' profile series were directly referenced for ''[[The Art of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron]]'', and have been used by other licensees such as [[Fun Publications]] and [[Space Ape Games]].

The only known example of a high-level continuity document designed solely for internal use was the 2010 [[Binder of Revelation]], compiled to help new creatives in the franchise get up to speed with key characters, concepts, and settings, to bring the various stories they were producing at the time into alignment. This lore bible went on to inform vast swathes of modern ''Transformers'' storytelling, most notably the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'' cartoon, which proved extremely influential in its own right.

As the creatives behind the Binder have moved on from the company over the years, however, it appears to have fallen by the wayside, with Hasbro happy to have different concurrent media diverge entirely so long as some key synergies remain—such as the ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (cartoon)|Cyberverse]]'' cartoon being informed by the script for the 2018 ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' movie—directing writers to the wiki for lore nitty-gritty. ''Cyberverse'' showrunner [[Randolph Heard]] cites this as one reason for the show's starring roles for many more obscure fan-favourite characters.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=I came to this, again, without a lot of ''Transformers'' knowledge, and I was directed to TFWiki, and I started reading TFWiki and I'm like, oh my god, I don't understand ''anything'', is this a multiverse, or- why- why are there so many variations on things? I'm never gonna learn this thing or understand it. And fortunately my staff were very helpful in that regard. But I think that ''Cyberverse'' to me was like, because I came from the outside in a way, I looked at it as a big box of toys, and I could play with any of them. And you know, that's how kids are, right? They're not going to distinguish between a [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] toy, a [[DC Comics|DC]] toy, and something else—if they're cool they'll make a battle between anything. And so to me I felt the freedom, like, yeah, I'll just pick stuff and no-one said no. In fact they seemed delighted that we were bringing back characters. [...] I researched lists of 'weirdest Transformers ever.' [...] I said I don't, you know, I confessed to [[Mikiel Houser]], and he said that's fine, check out the TFWiki and that'll tell you everything you need to know, and I was kind of like- it told me too much, you know? It was overwhelming. And I love TFWiki—they have such great writers, they're hilarious.|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vindAiN7YNY&t=1087s|name=Randolph Heard is too kind,|site=Keyan Carlile's Transformer Channel|title=The cancelled TF show BEFORE Cyberverse! (Randolph Heard talks Early Development & Seasons 1-2)|year=2021|month=11|day=20}}</ref> Another franchise newcomer, [[Brian Ruckley]], writer of [[IDW Publishing]]'s rebooted ''[[Transformers (2019 comic)|Transformers]]'' series, plucked a large number of obscure characters from the wiki, in particular a great many [[female Transformer]]s. All of this is to say that the referencing of fan wikis is perfectly normal and can often be positive. It's also why the wiki should strive for completeness and accuracy when documenting the ''Transformers'' universe—as the following cautionary tales show...

==Examples of circular reporting through TFWiki.net==


===Absence of evidence===
[[File:SpotlightHardhead-CaughtInAVortex.jpg|left|thumb|200px|The original Tailwind that went undocumented on this wiki...]]
[[File:BeforeAndAfter-DriftTailwindTentakil.jpg|thumb|200px|...and this guy showed up! Maybe if he gets hurt, [[Mario (ROTF)|he'll shrink back?]]]]
In the [[2008]] comic story ''[[Spotlight: Hardhead]]'', the [[Micromaster]] toy character [[Tailwind (G1)|Tailwind]] was given a cameo as one of the many [[Gorlamite]]s attacking [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]] and [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]]—but for many years, Tailwind was the only one whose appearance in that comic was not documented on his own wiki page. As part of a general desire to make use of characters who had yet to be introduced to the [[2005 IDW continuity|IDW continuity]], writer [[James Roberts]] evidently decided to check him off the list by writing a full-sized Cybertronian Tailwind into [[Before & After|''More than Meets the Eye'' #12]], being bisected by [[Drift (G1)|Drift]].

{{anchor|Trickshot}}
Similarly, the 2007 online [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] profile for [[Flashdrive]]—based on the Japanese-exclusive Mini-Con Processor—refers to a teammate called "[[Trickshot]]", clearly intended to be his fellow [[Micron Booster]] toy Triac; the wiki failed to note this, and soon thereafter the Mini-Con bio regimen ended without Trickshot's own profile being published. Thusly, the 2015 [[Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime]] column would instead give Triac the localized identity of "Bingo".

[[File:Sparkwar3 Heavy Artillery Drone vehicle.jpg|thumb|left|240px|Once we were nameless...]]

The [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon drones]] belonging to [[Strika (BM)|Strika]] were never named in the [[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|''Beast Machines'' cartoon]], [[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|toyline]], or related media. Back when TFWiki started out on Wikia (now Fandom), [[fandom:transformers:Special:Contributions/72.48.102.5|an anonymous user]] created the article for Strika's drones in [[2008]] using the fan name "Heavy Artillery Drone". Due to an oversight (as no one knew that it ''wasn't'' an official name), this remained the article's name for nearly a decade.

In a non-visual, text-only instance of this roundabout reporting, the [[2016]] prose story "[[Derailment]]" officially named Strika's drones as "Artillery Drones" based on the wiki's use of the name "Heavy Artillery Drone". The article was soon moved to "[[Artillery Drone]]" shortly after in early [[2017]], to reflect the official name. But, the official name only came about in the first place because of the wiki unknowingly using a completely made-up fan name.

These tones influenced the coloring of Vortex's ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[:File:FOC Vortex.jpg|concept art]], which evolved to the in-game colors.

[[Roadburner]]'s 2013 appearance in the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game can only be described as a fit of insanity.

To make matters worse, it is highly likely Roadburner ''wasn't supposed to be in the game to begin with.'' Considering that the theme of [[By Land, Sea, or Air|the event he appeared in]] was basically "These Autobots with military alt-modes do stuff," and the fact that [[Roadbuster (G1)|Road''buster'']] would make more sense given [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]]'s prevalence in said event... yeah. Not helping matters is that when in the process of typing "Roadbuster" into this wiki's search bar, Roadburner shows up first in the search results. Someone must have been in a hurry.

However, when [[Azimuth (G1)|a new incarnation of Azimuth]] appeared in 2020, in IDW's ''[[Transformers (2019 comic)|Transformers]]'' comic, she was colored silver—a mixup that almost assuredly stems from the photo on Azimuth's wiki article more prominently displaying ''that'' figure, with the "correct" gold figure tucked away on the far right.

In the ''[[Transformers: Earth Wars]]'' mobile game, [[Dile]] was revealed as a forthcoming character in early September 2020, sporting an unusual gray and purple deco which doesn't match his toy's colors at all. The following month, [[Space Ape Games]] put out a new render via their official newsletter, explaining that the original colors were based on the washed out scan of his card art seen at the top of his TFWiki character page. This makes it one of the few known instances where circular reporting was caught and corrected before release. The new render instead uses a more light-green and silvery hue based on a somewhat color-corrected version of the card art, rather than the much more pronounced green of [[:File:G1toy dile.jpg|the toy itself]]. However following a total overhaul of the game's UI in 2024, he wound up using the initial render instead whilst his in-game model's colors remains the same finalized color scheme. Potentially due to the game's official wiki still using [https://tfew.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4733799213343-Dile-Overkill#toc1| that same render on his page].

====''Siege'' Ion Storm====
The stock photography for ''Siege'' [[Ion Storm]]'s jet mode mistakenly showed [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Thundercracker]]'s jet instead—which is nearly identical apart from red highlights. With the 2019 [[Rainmaker]]s set being hard to come by, this erroneous image was used on the wiki for a couple of years, and appears highly in Google Images search results—leading Ion Storm's jet mode to be colored accordingly as Thundercracker in [[Volcanicus comic 2|a TakaraTomy comic]] released in September 2020 and in [[Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust II|an IDW comic]] released in September 2021.

====''Prime 10 Year Anniversary'' Igu====
The ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Post-Prime releases|10 Year Anniversary]]'' reissue of [[Igu]] ([[Vehicon (Prime)|Jet Vehicon]]'s [[Arms Micron]] partner from the [[TakaraTomy]] ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Takara Prime toyline|Prime]]'' toyline) mistakenly colors him bright silver, as opposed to the black of the original release.

This can be attributed to the set designer using the first image in the "Toys" subheading of Igu's wiki page for reference—which was actually an "elite" redeco packed with [[Vehicon (Prime)#JetGeneral|Jet Vehicon General]]. The original black release of Igu is used as the article's mainpic instead of being used in the "Toys" section, due to a lack of images of his vanishingly few fictional appearances. From a toy design perspective, this error means that the now-silver Igu breaks aesthetic cohesion with his mostly-black partner Jet Vehicon.

====''Kingdom'' T-Wrecks====
The ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Leader Class toy of [[T-Wrecks#Generations|T-Wrecks]] has a colour scheme which is much more drab than the original ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' Ultra Class iteration, with the brown-tinted torso being swapped for a dull grey, and the bright bronze of his helmet being swapped for the same red as his beast-mode skin. More noticeably, only the lower portion of T-Wrecks's crotch is molded blue, with the waist itself being left unpainted grey. It seems that these changes are the result of the wiki's use of the Hasbro stock photo of the original toy, depicting the hand-painted sample, being primarily used for reference; the lighting in the image is a little misleading, and the toy's posed leaning forward such that its belly overhangs its waist entirely! The ''Kingdom'' T-Wrecks's eyes are also yellow rather than the green of the ''Beast Machines'' toy. It would seem that [[:File:Disclosure-Dinobots.jpg|some of the]] [[:File:TWrecksdinobotspackaging art.jpg|other pictures]] on his page may have played into this color change also.

The first depiction of Crosswise's head mode on Sideway's article used to be a collage (below) made up of edited screencaps from "[[Credulous]]" where he swaps heads to show off all three of his configurations from the same camera angle, where the eyes of Crosswise's head mode were shown glowing yellow. The episode in question has Crosswise's eyes dramatically glow yellow when attached to his partner, only to turn to their default pink ''the frame right after'' the screencap was taken, with pink-eyed Sideways being the default from then on (and on the other cartoon screencaps on Sideway's article).

For years, the main image for [[Black Roritchi]] on this wiki used an image from the [[2006]] [[Metrodome]] release [[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|''Masterforce'' cartoon]] depicting him against a pitch-black backdrop, which his equally-black antennae blended into. When ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' Black Roritchi was produced in 2020 as a redeco of [[Fasttrack (G1)#Generations|Fasttrack]], the figure was given a custom head solely to remove the antennae under the mistaken belief that he didn't have them. Color-correction in later re-releases of the cartoon would reveal Black Roritchi to have blue antennae against a starfield. The timing of those re-releases? [[2012]]. Oops.

====''Studio Series'' Scrapmetal====
[[File:ROTF Constructicon concept.jpg|thumb|250px|left|{{SITENAME SHORT}}'s beautiful son. Our little guy.]]
[[File:Studio-Series-MV2-41-Deluxe-Scrapmetal.jpg|thumb|250px|Nobody tell him he was an accident.]]
The character that the wiki identifies as "[[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]]" was created through a complicated, decade-long tennis match between the wiki and Hasbro. In 2009, shortly after the theatrical release of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', the wiki created a page for the then-nameless character under the half-jokey title "Ze little one". Rather than assuming that the character was a [[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]] clone, wiki editors at the time decided that he was his own character, as the scene where [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] went underwater featured a yellow Volvo excavator that didn't match to any of the other characters. "Ze little one" quickly picked up an ironic fan following, and by December 2009 Hasbro called him "Scrapmetal" and identified his alternate mode as "the bulldozer."<ref>[http://www.tfviews.com/news/main/hasbro-q-and-a/641 Hasbro Q&A December 2009 at TFviews.com]</ref> The wiki documented this and moved on. Around the same time, ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]'s page noted that the film version of the character was formed from [[Unknown Constructicon shovel|an extra bulldozer]] compared to the official list of his components.

Almost ten years later, Hasbro announced a giant, fully-articulated ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Devastator (ROTF)#Studio Series|Devastator]] toy formed from multiple Constructicon figures from the ''[[Studio Series]]'' toyline. It is not 100% clear, but what appears to have happened is that whoever was planning the character selection looked at both Devastator and Scrapmetal's pages and decided to marry these two random tidbits by making Scrapmetal the extra bulldozer. ''Then'', the individual(s) assigned to design Scrapmetal's toy consulted the wiki page to figure out who the character was and instead made them a yellow excavator with the robot mode of the concept art randomly chosen for the main picture of the article—the result of the wiki stringing together tidbits of contradictory information from the movie. ''Whoops...''

{{-}}{{anchor|Sideways}}

====Sideways the dimension-hopper====
[[File:Sidewayses.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.5|''Can you see all of me? Walk into my mystery Step inside and hold on for dear life'' ''Do you remember me? Capture you or set you free I am all, I am all of me'']]
Oh dear.

In [[2002]], Hasbro released two motorcycle toys bearing the same name: ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]] and ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]]. The Hasbro toy bio for the latter recycled much of the same text from the bio of the former, nearly verbatim. This led to speculation at the time about whether or not they were meant to be the same character, ''regardless'' of the differences in toyline release since ''Robots in Disguise'' Sideways also came packaged with [[Axer (G1)#Robots in Disguise|Axer]], whose own bio hinted at his being the same person as [[Axer (G1)#The Transformers|his Generation 1 namesake]], having crossed dimensions from Generation 1 to ''Robots in Disguise''.

In [[2004]], Takara's ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' line released another motorcycle toy named [[Sideways (RM)|Double Face]], who shared the exact same colors and Japanese name of ''Armada'' Sideways. Since the ''Robotmasters'' series was a big crossover event similar in concept to the concurrent ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Transformers: Universe]]'' series, compounded by the then notoriously scattershot documenting done for the Japanese side of the franchise, fans in the West initially mistook ''Robotmasters'' for a [[multiverse|multiversal]] event, with characters crossing dimensions from different universes to team up with each other in a Generation 1 setting (as was the case in ''Universe''). In actuality, ''Robotmasters'' only featured time travel, not dimensional travel. But because of the initial misconception, what came next was very easily believed.

In early [[2005]], a mere two months after Double Face's release, a [https://groups.google.com/g/alt.toys.transformers/c/lKVCHWhYoJM/m/1NhElIcSnwwJ fan-given claim] was made online about Takara's official [http://web.archive.org/web/20070618040111/www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/robotmasters/main2.htm ''Robotmasters'' website] supposedly declaring Double Face to be the same character as ''Robots in Disguise'' Sideways. When the [[Sideways (Armada)|original TFWiki article for Sideways]] was first being put together in [[2006]], this same claim was reiterated several times on the article's [[Talk:Sideways (Armada)|talk page]], which misled the article's original creators to believe it and treat the ''Robots in Disguise'', ''Armada'', and ''Robotmasters'' characters all as the same Sideways, assuming that ''Robotmasters'' had confirmed the character to have dimension-hopped from another universe into Generation 1 (when it actually ''hadn't'').

With the wiki article treating all three as the same person, able to jump from universe to universe, the article went on to inspire later versions of Sideways, like ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Sideways (Animated)|Sideways]] and [[Ask Vector Prime]] [[Sideways (AVP)|Sideways]], who not only were ''explicitly'' presented as dimension-hoppers, but also had ''implicit'' ties to the originally-unrelated ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], which only led to even ''more'' debates about how ''that'' Sideways related to the others, and whether or not ''every'' Sideways was really the ''same'' individual!

It wasn't until late [[2022]] that the validity of the original claim about ''Robotmasters'' Double Face was finally investigated; the results of this investigation revealed that there had actually been ''zero evidence'' in support of the claim found anywhere on the Takara ''Robotmasters'' website. And thanks to this false claim influencing the wiki, Sideways went on to have a reputation for being a multiversal mischief maker who jumps across multiple realities, which was never originally supposed to be the case.

===The littlest one===
====Spelling the word Robo-Smasher====
In perhaps the amusingly smallest example of circular reporting from this wiki, the "[[Robosmasher]]" from the 1985 cartoon episode "[[The Secret of Omega Supreme (episode)|The Secret of Omega Supreme]]" was in fact written as one plain word in the episode's script. However, as is prone to happening with televised media, the original dialogue's text was not consulted when a TFWiki article for the device was created in [[2006]], under the hyphenated spelling "Robo-Smasher". This spelling was thus used by the [[Ask Vector Prime]] Facebook page as well as ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' text stories in [[2015]] prior to the wiki article being amended in [[2017]] to acknowledge the original spelling.

==Misuse of the TFWiki==
It's sometimes the case that even ''accurate'' content on the TFWiki gets misused, misappropriated, or misinterpreted by people working for Hasbro. Look, we try our best, but there is literally only so much we can do.

====''The Loyal Subjects'' Swoop====
Hasbro licensee [[The Loyal Subjects]] frequently, ah, took ''inspiration'' from the wiki's writeups for its various [[Tech Spec|bio cards]]. Most memorably, this resulted in [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]]'s 2014 motto being given as the image caption from his main picture.

In IDW's ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass II]]'' miniseries, [[Shattered Glass II issue 4|the fourth issue]] focused on a ''Shattered Glass'' incarnation of [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]]. Put bluntly, writer [[Danny Lore]] appears to have worked out the backstory for [[Flamewar (SG)|this mirror-universe version of Flamewar]] by giving her existing TFWiki article a cursory skim; in particular, the incongruous presence of [[Hailstorm (SG)|Hailstorm]] in the comic is likely extrapolated entirely from a cropped panel used on the article, where Flamewar is seen hanging out with Hailstorm in the multiversal melting-pot of [[Axiom Nexus]].

{{anchor|Ladybug}}
====BotCon Ladybug/Cliffjumper====
In [[2025]], when unofficial ''Transformers'' convention BotCon began promoting their convention-exclusive figures—produced under official license from Hasbro, via licensor [[Yolopark]]—the wiki duly created a new page for "Ladybug", a female Decepticon based on the G1 "red Bumblebee" toy [[variant]], being touted by BotCon to be a brand-new character. In the first sentence of the toy's writeup, the word "unofficial" was used to describe BotCon, as the convention is organised by a third party, Agabyss. Representatives from BotCon tried to have this word removed from the article, for reasons which were—at the time—totally unclear. Then, in the run-up to the convention, social media posts from BotCon inexplicably appeared to walk back the characterisation of "Ladybug"; she was instead referred to simply as [[Cliffjumper (Yolopark)|Cliffjumper]], and depicted as an Autobot.

At the convention itself, the people involved gave an explanation: apparently, someone at Hasbro had come across the wiki's article for "Ladybug", seen the word "unofficial", and somehow completely misread this to mean that "Ladybug" was a ''pre-existing, fanmade'' character. As it happened, this was actually true: many fans (including [[Dave Edwards|Zobovor]], going back to the days of [[alt.toys.transformers]]) had independently come up with the idea of calling the red Bumblebee toy "Ladybug", though the BotCon staff reportedly had never heard of this. Presumably for legal reasons, Hasbro became adamantly against the "Ladybug" character, and for simplicity's sake suggested that she be called "Cliffjumper" instead. Unhappy that the toy didn't really resemble previous Cliffjumpers, BotCon argued that they should produce a pack-in comic to give the character a backstory and justify its existence: "[[A Cliffjumper(s) Tale]]". This in turn led to [[The Sound of Science|an equivalent comic]] being produced for the accompanying Soundblaster/Glyph two-pack from the same convention. In other words, the presence of one little word on one of our pages killed a character and created two comics.<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://tfwiki.net/wiki/User_talk:Sabrblade/BotCon_2025_report|name=Sabrblade|site=TFWiki|title=BotCon 2025 report|year=2025|month=06|day=18}}</ref> Disturbing!

==Non-TFWiki misreporting==
Of course, people working on official ''Transformers'' material make use of unofficial reference material outside of this wiki, and errors in ''Transformers'' scholarship elsewhere are just as capable of leading to incorrect or occasionally, outright made up, information making it into the final product.


===Incorrectly-colored animation models===
[[File:Incorrect R.E.D. Soundwave Shins.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|''Inaccurate model at left'' ''Accurate model at centre'' ''Off-model 2020 product at right'']]
{{main|Miscolorings based on the Generation 1 cartoon}}

The [[1984]]-[[1987]] [[The Transformers (cartoon)|''The Transformers'' animated series]] that has become a centerpiece of the brand was, to be blunt, not a high-quality production in the animation department. All four seasons were prone to [[animation error]]s, adding an additional challenge to modern fans attempting to isolate simple views of any given [[character model]]. To make matters worse, Hasbro and licensees have often relied upon a set of fan-colorings from the Ukrainian ''Transformers'' fan website, [https://www.transformers.kiev.ua/index.php?pageid=g1encyclopedia Transformers.kiev.ua,] that attempted to recreate Sunbow animation models using screen captures of episodes, while eye dropping the colors from said screen captures, and then replacing the heads of the models with traced headshots also taken from episode screen captures. These fan-colorings regularly make rounds on the web since they are readily available on Pinterest and Fandom wikia pages, making it hard not to come across them on Google Images.

On top of all of this, the models Transformers.kiev.ua would frequently use were also the ones published in [[The Ark series|''The Ark'' series]] books as they were the only real source available for Generation 1 animation models at the time. In the years since, better copies of animation models have surfaced through eBay and various Japanese auction sites, revealing that a large majority of the models used in the books were actually out of date pre-final models that had been revised anywhere from once, to several times afterwards. The author of the books, [[Jim Sorenson]] has also stated in conversation with the wiki team that due to the condition of some of the models he had found or been given access to, [[Bill Forster]] had to sometimes trace, redraw, and digitally mend models, such as the [[Junkion (species)|Junkion]]s, to make them more presentable for publishing; this has also led to several inaccuracies with the original model sheets that have surfaced since.

As can be seen in the example at right, the 2020 ''[[Transformers R.E.D.|R.E.D. <nowiki>[</nowiki>Robot Enhanced Design<nowiki>]</nowiki>]]'' [[Soundwave (G1)/merchandise#RED|Soundwave]] figure's shins were incorrectly left blue instead of being painted silver/gray due to Hasbro once again basing the figure on the [https://www.transformers.kiev.ua/g1/soundwaveg1.html Transformers.kiev.ua fan-colored model].

Hasbro also tends to use the images from Transformers.kiev.ua whole-hog in their social media posts on Instagram and Facebook for memes, visuals for trivia, and holiday celebration posts, as well as using them as placeholder images for pipeline reveals of upcoming figures in the works. A notable example of this was the pipeline reveal of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: Evolution]]'' [[Devcon (G1)#Legacy|Devcon]], whose [https://www.transformers.kiev.ua/g1/devcong1.html placeholder "model" image] isn't even a model at all, rather [[:File:Devcon-Body01.jpg|a couple of]] [[:File:Gambler Devcon vehicle.jpg|traced screencaps]] from the episode "[[The Gambler]]".<ref>[https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/01/31/transformers-jan-23-livestream-recap-legacy-evolution-wave-2-and-more-474374 Transformers Jan 23 Livestream Recap – Legacy Evolution Wave 2 and More!] at TFW2005</ref> The Devcon mishap also extends to his toy, as the vertical line detailing below the molded ring on his left arm is missing from the right arm, something that the traced "model" completely neglected to translate from the original show screencap. The same had also been done for [[Snarl (G1)#Legacy|Snarl]], [[Bombshell (G1)#Legacy|Bombshell]], [[Dirge (G1)/toys#Legacy|Dirge]], and so on. It's one thing to use them as reference for toys and design inspiration, but the practice of taking them whole-hog without a background check, and using them in official posts is a bit of a shoddy practice, to say the least.

===Other oddities===
====Discmaster====
This might be one of the earliest cases of circular reporting in the history of the ''Transformers'' brand and fandom (and one of the rare, non-visual, text-only cases). The [http://tflab.net/japaspe/second/bd20.html toy bio] for ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers|Beast Wars II]]'' [[Autolauncher]] refers to both himself and his rival [[Mantis]] with the turn of phrase ''enban tsukai'' (円盤使い, meaning "disc user"). When the bio was translated into English in the late 1990s/early 2000s, the phrase was written in English as "Discmaster", with the one responsible having likely taken some creative inspiration from [[Headmaster (technology)|the]] [[Targetmaster (technology)|various]] [[Powermaster|forms]] [[Godmaster (lifeform)|of]] "[[Brainmaster|-master]]" [[Micromaster|technology]] [[Powered Master|of]] Generation 1.

During the mid-2000s, when putting together the ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook]]'', longtime fan [[Ben Yee]] (who was co-author of the ''Sourcebook'' with [[Simon Furman]]) took this translation to heart and applied the term to the book's profiles for both Autolauncher and Mantis—unaware that "Discmaster" was actually creative liberty on part of the fan translation and not an accurate representation of what was originally written in the Japanese bio text. As a result, the term "[[Discmaster]]" now referred to a martial art practiced by both characters, despite the term having never actually existed beforehand in the first place.

As an extra, the official Transformers Facebook page [[:file:G2Offroad.jpg|posted a promotional pic of the set]] that used the aforemented digibashes of the individual Stunticons instead of their proper stock photos... which featured [[Offroad (CW)|Offroad]] as the fifth member of the team, rather than [[Wildrider (G1)|Brake-Neck]] (whose ''Combiner Wars'' version wasn't revealed yet when the digibash was made) as the official set.

In [[2017]], a Hasbro license, [[Open Road Brands]], released a [[:File:Open road brands faction sign.jpg|tin wall sign]] exclusively to Hobby Lobby stores, meant to showcase the many [[Insignia|faction symbols]] from the [[Transformers brand|brand]]'s history, but one symbol stood out. The self-proclaimed "Warriorbots" were never a real thing. So were did they come from? The answer can be found on the "[https://transformers.fandom.com/wiki/Insignia?diff=prev&oldid=405151 Insignia]" page on the Transformers Fandom (formerly Wikia) wiki from 2014 to 2017, with it being listed among the others. In other words: Whoever designed it used that page as reference.

====''Cyberverse'' character models====
While the core cast of the [[2018]] series ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (cartoon)| Cyberverse]]'' was based on the [[evergreen]] characters being pushed at the time, the supporting cast drew from a range of pre-existing toys (mostly from the ''Generations'' line) and designs (mostly from [[IDW Publishing]]'s comics). Close inspection of character models reveals that, in some cases, specific pieces of artwork were used for reference—and in a couple of cases, the artwork in question wasn't actually official, but rather fan-work that crops up often on Google Images:
* [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] is based on a fan-colored version of [[Guido Guidi]]'s character model sketched for ''[[The Transformers: All Hail Megatron|All Hail Megatron]]'', which is where his grey feet come from (in IDW's comics, they were black).<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Coloring of Guido Guidi's Perceptor.|link=https://www.deviantart.com/vaderprime1/art/Perceptor-208339678|name=VaderPrime1|site=DeviantArt|title=Perceptor|year=2011|month=05|day=10}}</ref>
* [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]]'s original "Deadlock" body is based on a piece of fanart by Guido Guidi.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=A fanart rendering based on G1 Springer repurposed as an hypothetical G1 Deadlock repaint (Drift former identity as Decepticon)|link=https://www.deviantart.com/guidoguidi/art/Retro-G1-Deadlock-model-sheet-526900626|name=Guido Guidi|site=DeviantArt|title=Retro G1 Deadlock model sheet|year=2015|month=04|day=15}}</ref>
* [[Alpha Trion#Cyberverse|Alpha Trion]] is based on a piece of fanart by [[Makoto Ono]], the original source for which has disappeared along with the rest of his DeviantArt account, but which still remains [https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/autobot-leader-alpha-trion-by-makotoonodeviantartcom-on-deviantart--375909900129440770/ floating around on the internet]. This is where Alpha Trion's hulked-out proportions come from, as well as the details of his lower legs.

{{anchor|Megaplex}}
====IDW ''Transformers'' Megaplex====
[[File:Megaplex Digibash IDW.jpg|thumb]]
In the IDW Publishing comic issue [[Rise of the Decepticons: Swindle's|''Transformers'' #20]], the ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]''-based characters [[Starscream (MW)|Starscream]] and [[Megaplex]] make cameo appearances in a crowd. Line artist [[Anna Malkova]] drew Megaplex according to a 2012 "virtual redeco" of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' Deluxe-sized [[Starscream (Armada)/toys#Energon|Starscream]] [https://www.deviantart.com/air-hammer/art/Machine-Wars-Megatron-and-Megaplex-Digibash-341964614 posted to DeviantArt] by fan artist Air Hammer (similar to the above case of ''Combiner Wars'' G2 Menasor). Given that "Starscream" is drawn according to his [[Starscream (MW)#Toys|original toy]], one imagines that Malkova intended to do the same for Megaplex—but as Google Images returns the fan-made digibash near the top of its search results for "''Machine Wars'' Megaplex", Malkova presumably believed it to be an official toy, and wound up drawing that design instead.

{{anchor|Ruckus}}
====''Legacy: United'' Rukus====
The [[2024]] modernised toy of [[Ruckus (G1)#Legacy|Rukus]] released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Exclusives 3|Doom 'n Destruction Collection]]'' capsule subline of ''Legacy: United'' sports new [[paint operation]]s on his forearms. In addition, the suspension springs sculpted into his legs are upside down compared to the original toy and [[package art]]. The toy was clearly designed with reference to an incorrectly-[[sticker]]ed sample of the G1 toy, with the hip detailing mistakenly applied to the forearms, and the leg stickers placed upside-down. For several years prior to this incident, the TFWiki itself had been using [https://www.seibertron.com/transformers-toys/gallery/g1-1988/ruckus/124/1/ images from Seibertron] with misplaced hip stickers—but the upside-down springs on the legs point towards a different specific sample of the toy being the culprit.

__TOC__
Do we add the Wing Team being Decepticons in everything due to us only having those pictures? --[[User:ZacAttack|ZacAttack]] ([[User talk:ZacAttack|talk]]) 19:00, 4 February 2021 (EST)
:Adding to that, Streetwise's personality in Timelines? --[[User:ZacAttack|ZacAttack]] ([[User talk:ZacAttack|talk]]) 19:04, 7 March 2021 (EST)

I know there's no write-up yet so forgive me if I'm taking this the wrong way, but are 3rd party toys being used for Lost Light vehicle models really an example of citogenesis? -- [[User:Dark T Zeratul|Dark T Zeratul]] ([[User talk:Dark T Zeratul|talk]]) 20:53, 7 March 2021 (EST)
:If the artist wasn't aware that they based an image off of an unofficial product, I'd say it counts as citogenesis. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 20:58, 7 March 2021 (EST)
::But the concept of citogenesis, at least to my understanding, is that misinformation on the wiki becomes official information because it was on the wiki. Using third party toys as character models is a whole other thing. -- [[User:Dark T Zeratul|Dark T Zeratul]] ([[User talk:Dark T Zeratul|talk]]) 16:16, 9 March 2021 (EST)
:::That's why it's listed under "Non-TFWiki references". If an artist isn't fully aware of what is 3P and what isn't when searching for reference images on Google, then it's an easy mistake. ''Transformers'' citogenesis—from what I have seen at least—isn't exclusive to the wiki, as Hasbro and its affliates are well-known to use Googled images for reference material. Hasbro ''really'' needs a proper archive lol. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 17:16, 9 March 2021 (EST)

Are other people allowed to add to this? I'm thinking of making the Igu/ Igu S section, but I'm not sure if that's against rules. --[[User:ZacAttack|ZacAttack]] ([[User talk:ZacAttack|talk]]) 06:55, 20 May 2021 (EDT)
:Yes [[User:Notsoalex|--notsoalex]] ([[User talk:Notsoalex|talk]]) 10:36, 20 May 2021 (EDT)

==Tailwind==
The Gorlam Prime micromasters getting reused as actual characters happened multiple times. Is there any reason that Tailwind in particular is getting called out? -- [[User:Dark T Zeratul|Dark T Zeratul]] ([[User talk:Dark T Zeratul|talk]]) 16:53, 14 June 2021 (EDT)
:To answer this question for future reference, MTMTE displayed multiple instances of the author researching a character's listed appearances on the wiki before using the character. By contrast, Dropshot, Barricade, and Blackjack were meant to shill new toys or a recent console game design in ignorance or defiance of the Gorlamites. [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 21:27, 13 February 2022 (EST)

== "Third party" designs in official media ==

Does [[IP theft#Third party designs in official products and marketing|this]] qualify as more instances of Non-TFWiki references?--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] ([[User talk:Nevermore|talk]]) 20:04, 16 June 2021 (EDT)

==Moving bulk of page==
Hey, since 'citogenesis' moreso refers to circular reporting and the use of unofficial material in official material is ''loosely'' following that, how about everything under [[User:Grum/Sandbox/Citogenesis#Non-TFWiki references]] is moved to [[IP theft#Third party designs in official products and marketing]]? And errors that aren't the result of 'third party' toys can just be moved to their respective article? So the page would be something like: [[User:Notsoalex/sandbox/Circular reporting in Transformers]] [[User:Notsoalex|--notsoalex]] ([[User talk:Notsoalex|talk]]) 23:29, 31 August 2021 (EDT)
:As others have suggested in the Discord server, I agree that this "Circular reporting" page can be pared down by not duplicating too much information from the "IP infringement" page.

== Enemy ==

Does [[Enemy (G1)|Enemy]] qualify? His creation as a separate character occurred via a bizarre chain of events that involved a Hasbro licensee that gave its product odd names in lieu of actual character names, TFWiki running with it because of lulz, [[David Willis|Walky]] basing [[Enemy (SG)|SG Enemy]] on that joke, and then Takara taking inspiration from TFWiki. Even if we were to assume that Takara was perfectly aware that "Enemy" wasn't an actual, established character until they made him one—does that really make a difference?--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] ([[User talk:Nevermore|talk]]) 14:54, 8 January 2022 (EST)
:I believe Andrew Hall was the one behind those bios. When it's something intentional like that, I would never call it circular reporting. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 15:31, 8 January 2022 (EST)

== Straxus==
Removing the bit about Darkmount's colors, because it's not actually true, it's just an assumption people made! Darkmount's colors are not, in fact, my artwork's doing. As much as it'd be cool to claim that. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] ([[User talk:ItsWalky|talk]]) 23:02, 13 February 2022 (EST)

== SG Flamewar ==

Far be it from me to bring up something on a topic that I feel largely has been erroneously pointed to a lot but it's kind of insane that SG Flamewar isn't on here at all. Everything about the issue from her association with Cannonball to Hailstorm being someone she's with entirely because the main Flamewar's page's image for her sole TransTech appearance has him in it, it all absolutely is a case of a writer looking at a wiki page and using that as a basis (probably far more than at least 4 of the ones already on this page). [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 23:31, 21 April 2024 (EDT)
:I think the only reason it's not is because like... is anything in that issue actually ''erroneous?'' Not really. But I totally agree it should be here in some capacity, because it's one of the most striking examples of stuff being invented whole cloth based entirely on a wiki article. I guess it's all in how the issue's framed in the article—maybe sandbox it, and see what people think? —[[User:The Wadapan|wadapan]] ([[User talk:The Wadapan|talk]]) 04:34, 22 April 2024 (EDT)
::Yeah, this is a case of glaring bare-bones research, not false historical reporting. IDW SG is a different story continuity. This would be better for a wiki page titled something along the lines of "Influence of this site on official research". [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 11:52, 22 April 2024 (EDT)

== Orange Sentinel Prime ==

IDW Sentinel Prime was consistently portrayed as predominantly yellow until the Titans Return figure, which based him on the only full-body panel available on the internet at the time (also used on his disambiguation page). This photo is set in dramatic mid-day lighting, making him look more orange than usual. Then, he was orange in IDW 2019 and it looks like yellow Sentinel has become a thing of the past. Does this oddity deserve a mention here or should it just be put under the notes section on his own page? [[User:Brickmaster57|Brickmaster57]] ([[User talk:Brickmaster57|talk]]) 21:16, 23 June 2025 (EDT)
:[[User:Brickmaster57/yelow sentinel|Here’s the proposed section]], preferably placed under "incorrect decos for official toys" before Anniversary Igu, as Sentinel came first. Feedback is appreciated. [[User:Brickmaster57|Brickmaster57]] ([[User talk:Brickmaster57|talk]]) 15:23, 4 August 2025 (EDT)
::Looking back, Origin had a lot of panels where the yellows straight up looked orange, not just the one you've mentioned; the coloring was not super consistent. I don't know that we can chalk this one up to citogenesis so much as "He just kinda looked orange". -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 02:35, 5 August 2025 (EDT)
:::I'd have to disagree with that, having just reread Megatron: Origin, it’s ''just'' that panel (and the 2 small ones in the same lighting). His appearance in issue 2 is properly colored, he’s standing in a shadow in issue 3 so he looks a little darker, but the highlights of the colors are correct, and his appearance in issue 4 is the most yellow he'd ever looked (until dawning the blue apex armor). Perhaps you’re confusing some of his mugshots (for lack of a better term) to be representative of the rest of his body? His helmet has orange accents which, depending on the artist, results in a completely orange helmet or a yellowy-orange helmet indiscernible from his torso color. Funnily enough, that would also explain his helmet being the same color as the rest of his body even though it shouldn’t be.[[User:Brickmaster57|Brickmaster57]] ([[User talk:Brickmaster57|talk]]) 14:21, 5 August 2025 (EDT)
::::Regardless, I seriously question this as a citogenesis thing, especially when [[:File:Primes IDW.JPG|this pic]] has also been on the wiki for 15+ years. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 14:44, 5 August 2025 (EDT)
:::::I wondered that too, until I saw the ''original'' version of the picture on the wiki. The contrast on that photo is ''insane'', and it wouldn’t surprise me if the deco artist disregarded that image. Also, I’m not exactly blaming the wiki here (I’ll remove the "it was his disambig photo" if approved), I think it was mostly a google thing. The first image on google for "IDW Sentinel Prime" is from the villains wiki, not this one. IIRC, the TFWiki showed up very low on google results back in 2015-2016 for that specific search.[[User:Brickmaster57|Brickmaster57]] ([[User talk:Brickmaster57|talk]]) 14:52, 5 August 2025 (EDT)

== Kaskade ==

I made a note of this on her page, but is it possible that the reason Kaskade's toy has a monocle on the headsculpt is because the mainpic that I uploaded for her back in... uh, 2020 or so, was that one where she has a monocle? She doesn't usually have one as a default in many of her scant appearances, she just deploys it to scope people from a distance. --[[User:Nu-Priest|Nu-Priest]] ([[User talk:Nu-Priest|talk]]) 19:31, 25 February 2026 (EST)
:She has the monocle on in most close-ups, and it could have just been a stylistic choice because it's visually interesting, same as Armada Nemesis Prime's face. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 10:50, 26 February 2026 (EST)

== Age of the Primes Sideways ==

So Age of the Primes Sideways's section previously showed the version of the collage of cartoon screencaps responsible for the newer toy being mistakenly-given yellow eyes. The image file got updated with the final screencap swapped for one with proper pink eyes, which while the right way to go about things on Sideway's article, does kinda mess up the section on this particular page. Especially since it could work wonderfully to have yellow eyes collage->pink eyes collage->2026 Crosswise as opposed to how it's now updated collage with a note the eyes used to be yellow as the first pic. Maybe we could upload the older collage as its own pic solely for usage on this page? [[User:Kirby0189|Kirby0189]] ([[User talk:Kirby0189|talk]]) 07:45, 21 April 2026 (EDT)
:This was discussed on Discord, the collage has been reverted to the original for this page and a gif of his transformation has been added for use as a replacement elsewhere. [[User:BluJayWarrior|BluJayWarrior]] ([[User talk:BluJayWarrior|talk]]) 14:40, 21 April 2026 (EDT)

Thundercracker (One)

{{disambig3|Thundercracker}}
:''Thundercracker is a [[Decepticon]] from [[Transformers One (franchise)|One]].''
[[File:TFO THUDERCRACKER.jpg|thumb|right|220px]]

'''Thundercracker''' is a member of the [[High Guard]], although he's not as committed to the cause as some of his fellows. Although quiet and reserved, he looks down on beings who can't fly, and harbors a particular dislike for [[Cogless]] Cybertronians. <ref> ''[[Transformers One Sourcebook]]''</ref>

==Fiction==
===''One'' film===
Thundercracker was a member of the Cybertronian [[High Guard]]. Upon bearing witness to [[Sentinel Prime (One)|Sentinel Prime]]'s betrayal of the Primes, he and the rest of the High Guard resolved to hide away from the rest of Cybertronian society and delegate resources towards sabotaging Sentinel's rule.

Thundercracker stood in attendance as [[Starscream (One)|Starscream]] interrogated [[Optimus Prime (One)|a]] [[Megatron (One)|quartet]] [[Bumblebee (One)|of]] [[Elita-1 (One)|trespassers]]. He bore witness to a duel between D-16 and his leader Starscream in which D-16 was victorious in. Shortly afterwards, a swarm of [[Tracker|Death Tracker]]s led by [[Airachnid (One)|Airachnid]] descended upon them. Thundercracker fought bravely against them and managed to avoid being captured himself, but could not prevent the numerically superior enemy from carrying off many prisoners including Starscream, D-16, and B-127.

Thundercracker took part in the assault on Sentinel's tower. He watched and cheered as Megatron tore Sentinel in half and participated in the destruction of Iacon, only to be interrupted by a returned Orion - now rechristened Optimus Prime. After Megatron's defeat at the hands of Optimus, Thundercracker and his fellow High Guard officers chose to follow Megatron and retreat after Optimus exiled Megatron and all his followers from Iacon.

In their exile, the group was rechristened the [[Decepticon]]s, and the faction's [[insignia]] based on the face of [[The Fallen|Megatronus Prime]] was branded onto Thundercracker's wings. Thundercracker blasted rays from his weaponry alongside with his fellow seekers as Megatron called upon them to 'rise up'. {{storylink|Transformers One (film)|One}}

:''[[Studio Series]]'' Thundercracker is a retool of [[Starscream (One)#Studio Series|Starscream]] with a new head, wings, and chest grill and is based on his appearance in ''Transformers One'', transforming into a Cybertronian jet fighter. The weapons from the original mold are omitted, and instead he includes two triple-barreled cannons that he can wield or attach to his shoulders.

:Though he is part of Wave 31, Thundercracker was left out of any marketing for that wave, presumably because he is the sole figure not part of that wave's 40th Anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' push. Instead, he was revealed by himself on Hasbro China's Taobao site on [[March 9]] of 2026, while Hasbro revealed him alongside Wave 32 on [[April 13]] with pre-orders the next day, a mere week before he showed up on store pegs alongside his actual wavemates.

Wreckers

2026-04-20T04:12:35Z

BluJayWarrior: /* Toys */ adding SS DOTM Wreckers since they're named on the box bios

{{factions|autobot|wreckers|wreckersidw}}
{{featured}}
{{disambig3|Wreckers}}
[[File:Wreckers symbol.png|thumb|Wreck & Rule.]]
The '''Wreckers''' are a special task force, generally composed of the best and the toughest die-hard fighters around. Its ranks include a veritable who's-who of the obscure; mechs you've never heard much about, mostly because the Wreckers are often called in to fight when the odds of success are slim. Bluntly, they tend to burn through their roster at a frightening rate. The Wreckers are a close-knit group that's more concerned with bursting in, guns-blazing, and doing their Thing, than they are concerned with, say, strategy. Despite their disregard for planning and the bodycount their team mounts, the Wreckers are amazingly successful. If it's a lost cause, the Wreckers will be there, winning the day with sheer guts and determination.

Perhaps the most celebrated leader of the Wreckers is [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], though the memory of his former leader, [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]], hangs over his head. The team also often has ties to [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], and the [[Maximal]] future will bring leaders such as [[Apelinq (BM)|Apelinq]] and [[Primal Prime]].

They're associated with Autobots like the [[Deluxe Vehicle]]s and [[Jumpstarter]]s, but when [[Target: 2006|times]] [[Transformers: The Wreckers|get]] [[The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers|really]] [[Of Masters and Mayhem|desperate]], they'll grab ''anyone'': newly modified Autobots, [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]], squishy [[human]]s, and even former [[Decepticon]]s or the [[Ironfist (G1)#2005 IDW continuity|dying]].

{{bigquote|Never a dull moment when you're a Wrecker.|[[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]]|[[Stormbringer issue 4|''Stormbringer'' #4]]}}

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 continuity family===
====Marvel Comics continuity====
=====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics=====
{{noteukexclusive|The Wreckers}}
[[File:Wreckersoriginallineup.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|They always smile after a nice massacre.]]
The Wreckers were [[Emirate]] [[Xaaron (G1)|Xaaron]]'s special ops squad, first being heard from during [[Trannis]]'s dread advances. Their first mission was to assassinate Trannis himself and they succeeded (and that meant [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] took over, whoops). {{storylink|Cybertron: The Middle Years!}}

In [[1986]], the roster of the Wreckers consisted of Impactor (the leader), Roadbuster, Whirl, Twin-Twist, Topspin, and Rack'n'Ruin. They were later joined by Broadside, Sandstorm, and Springer (who became the team's leader after Impactor's death). The team were set to be at the business end of [[Operation: Volcano]], killing ten of the most deadly Decepticons as they converged on a staged conference. Without [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] around to help, however, they would have been massacred soon after and they came close to backing out, only to decide to do their duty. The Autobot [[Triple Changer]]s were sent in as a replacement.

However, when [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] called off the Decepticons' advance (truth be told, he didn't seem to know or care about it), the Wreckers' plans were also cancelled. As was Impactor's life, as one of the Decepticons, [[Macabre]], had stayed behind to kill [[Emirate]] [[Xaaron (G1)|Xaaron]], and Impactor took the 'bullet' for him. Impactor named Springer his successor as he lay dying. {{storylink|Target: 2006}}

Later, the team and Ultra Magnus were misled into trying to kill [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] upon his return to Cybertron. Decepticons had planted misinformation that Prime was in fact a Decepticon made up to ''look'' like Prime. Fortunately for the Wreckers' record, Magnus and Xaaron uncovered the truth before anyone could kill the Autobots' Greatest Leader. {{storylink|Distant Thunder!}} During his stay on Cybertron, Optimus Prime led the Wreckers on a number of fruitful raids on [[Decepticon fuel store]]s. {{storylink|Resurrection!}}

[[File:Technician wreckers legion of the lost.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.95]]
After Optimus Prime returned to Earth, [[Autobase]] in [[Kalis]] was rocked by a huge explosion caused by the venting of an active nuclear reactor. Xaaron told the Wreckers of Megatron's ancient plan to turn Cybertron into a vast mobile battle station and that Autobase was potentially built on top of the engine room. Springer led the Wreckers to try to find the entrance to the sub-terranean facility but they were unable to locate it. Upon their return Autobase was attacked by hoards of undead Transformers, including their former leader, Impactor. Once the Wreckers and Xaaron were imprisoned, [[Flame (Marvel)|Flame]] revealed himself to be behind the explosion, as well as the reanimation of the dead. Though shaken by recent events Springer managed to escape the cell, taking Impactor with him. The current Wrecker leader did enough to reawaken some sense of self in the zombified Impactor before reaching the surface, where he met Ultra Magnus and the [[Sparkabot|Sparkler Mini-Bots]]. Meanwhile, the other Wreckers had escaped and headed for the armory and, aided by a curious and vengeful Impactor, managed to reach the weapons necessary to defeat Flame's undead minions. With [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]'s assistance, the Wreckers broke through to the main control room, where Xaaron was preparing to sacrifice himself in order to reach the reactor shut down control. Under orders to leave, the Wreckers fought their way past more reanimated corpses, leaving Impactor to save Xaaron twice again, firstly by killing Flame and then entering the radioactive chamber himself to deactivate the reactor. Xaaron made it to safety and gave thanks for the bravest being he had ever met. {{storylink|Legion of the Lost!}} {{storylink|Meltdown!}}

[[File:WreckingHavoc-yourfoe.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Sandstorm and Broadside are on good terms with Galvy.]]
In [[1988]] the Wreckers were tasked to bring down [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. Both Xaaron and Springer had concerns about the mission, but deemed it necessary due to the danger posed by the future Decepticon leader. The team transported through an unstable dimensional portal, unwittingly landing in a small mid-western town, to be confronted not only by Galvatron but also his two former lieutenants, [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]]. Unable to fight all three Decepticons as well as defend the human population, Springer managed to lure Cyclonus and Scourge away. Faced with a choice of allowing Galvatron to escape or aid their leader the Wreckers chose to help Springer. Galvatron was able to escape but the Wreckers vowed to return to finish the job. {{storylink|Wrecking Havoc}}

In an effort to reduce further risk to human life Xaaron sent an [[Advance Surveillance Unit]], consisting of Broadside, Sandstorm, and Inferno, to set up a reconnaissance base. Though their primary mission was to observe and not interfere, the two Wreckers and Inferno could not help but go to the aid of a local town when a [[Firebug (G1)|Firebug]] crash landed nearby and started multiple blazes. {{storylink|Firebug!}}

[[File:Megatron wreckers time wars.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|The Wreckers look on as Megatron goes Dreamwave on them.]]
The unit tracked Galvatron as he stockpiled equipment and supplies, and discovered his subterranean base. With space and time [[time rift|ripping themselves apart]] due to the future Decepticon's presence, Xaaron sent reinforcements in the shape of a Decepticon [[Decepticon heavy transport|spacecraft]] carrying the rest of the Wreckers and the [[Mayhem Attack Squad]], who had formed a crisis alliance. The two teams made their way to Galvatron's unguarded base and were able to walk straight in. Unfortunately Galvatron had formed his own alliance with [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] (or at least, [[Straxus (G1)|his clone]]) and they attacked the two elite squads, who quickly began to fall beneath the might of the crazed duo. Topspin was one of the first to fall, victim of Megatron's [[fusion cannon]]. Cracks soon showed in the alliance as Springer and [[Carnivac (G1)|Carnivac]] almost came to blows, blaming each other for the disastrous plan. They were interrupted by Scourge and [[Ravage (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ravage]], who had also allied themselves to Galvatron. Fortunately Springer was able to sow seeds of doubt about the cause of the space/time rift in Scourge's mind, distracting him. Springer then jumped him while Ravage was taken out by Carnivac. The Wreckers leader sounded the retreat and Carnivac reluctantly ordered his Mayhems to do the same.

[[File:TimeWars-frakamm.jpg|thumb|GET OUT OF MY WAY!]]
The teams re-grouped at the Decepticon ship with Galvatron and Megatron hot on their heels. Galvatron announced his arrival by destroying Sandstorm with his [[Particle cannon]]. An enraged Roadbuster fetched an experimental [[Pathblaster]] and managed to blow half of Galvatron's face off. However the weapon was unstable and exploded, killing Roadbuster before he could use it again. Galvatron was only further madenned by his injury, ripping off Twin Twist's head and blasting Rack'n'Ruin. The remaining Wreckers were only saved by the arrival of reinforcements of Autobots and Decepticons from both the future and present day. With most of their members offline and the rest injured, the Wreckers did not play any further part in the battle. {{storylink|Time Wars}}

After the Time Wars, the few survivors (Springer, Broadside and Inferno) joined with other "outsiders"—both Autobot and Decepticon. The Decepticon ship they had used to reach Earth was stolen by Megatron and they were seemingly abandoned by High Command. With these new circumstances they ceased to use the Wreckers title and formed part of the (aptly named) [[Survivors]]. {{storylink|Survivors!}}

[[File:Rodimus technobots wreckers peace.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66||...have granted me the right to join two Cybertronians in holy matrimony. You sure about your best man Magnus?]]
In an alternate future of [[2510]], the Wreckers killed the last Decepticon in battle, signifying the end of the [[Great War (G1)|war]]. Upon learning this news, [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodimus Prime]] called together his warriors at Autobase to announce that he was stepping down as Autobot leader and selected Springer as his replacement. [[Triton]], a Decepticon double agent who had infiltrated the ranks of the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]], sought to sow dissent in the Autobot ranks and questioned Rodimus's choice, suggesting that Ultra Magnus would make a better leader.

The resulting argument quickly escalated when [[Scattershot (G1)|Scattershot]] shot Roadbuster, blowing his head clean off. Sandstorm retaliated by killing Triton and soon the Autobots had split into factions fighting a whole new war, to Rodimus Prime's great despair. {{storylink|Peace}}

*Both Roadbuster and Whirl were absent during the Flame incident and initial Galvatron mission. Roadbuster reappears and dies during the Time Wars but Whirl is never seen again. As Springer states that the rest of the Wreckers are with him on the Decepticon heavy transport ship, this may indicate that Whirl either left the Wreckers or was killed in action.
*Dialogue in "[[Firebug!]]" suggests Inferno was not a Wrecker at this point. Later, in "[[Survivors!]]" and an [[Transformers Annual 1991|annual bio]], he was considered an ex-Wrecker. There is no indication of when he joined, most likely prior to "[[Time Wars]]".

=====''Regeneration One''=====
{{NoteRG1}}
[[File:Wreckers loose ends.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8| [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]? What Great War? Sorry, must have missed the call to arms. Did you make a mess?]]
Twenty-one years after the battle of [[Klo]], Springer led a team of soldiers known as the Wreckers. Loosely under the jurisdiction of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]], the Wreckers were apparently separate from the standard [[Cybertronian Civil Defense]] rank-and-file. They stopped a terrorist act on Cybertron and later accompanied [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Kup]] to visit planets affected by the Great War. On their first stop, Earth, they discovered it had been devastated some time ago. Before they had chance to fully take in the devastation their ship was promptly blown out of the sky by Megatron. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 1}}

[[File:Wreckers loose ends 2.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.6]]
The unit managed to bail out of the ship in escape pods, crash landing on Earth. Somewhat battered, the Wreckers had little chance to fully take stock before Whirl delivered the news that reanimated Decepticons were on their way. Heading out Springer decided to try to contact Cybertron and aid the safe approach of reinforcements. Leaving the injured at a safe distance the remaining Wreckers attempted to reach the [[Deep Space Network]] at [[Goldstone]]. Sandstorm, Roadbuster and Leadfoot tried to keep the zombie Decepticons distracted while Kup, Springer and Whirl made a dash for the transmitter. The former trio were not totally successful so Kup turned to assist to allow his teammates to send the message. Unfortunately he was taken by surprise by [[Skywarp (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Skywarp]], knocked unconscious and quickly taken to Megatron. Meanwhile, a group of human survivors stumbled across Rack'n'Ruin and the injured Wreckers. Assuming the worst the humans attempted to flee, Rack'n'Ruin tried to go after them but was held off by [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Circuit Smasher]] {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 2}}

Though initially distrustful, Circuit Smasher eventually allied himself with the Wreckers and explained how human interference with the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] had led to the reactivation of Megatron. Somehow the Decepticon leader managed to turn the planet's defenses on itself, reactivated his fallen warriors and in a matter of hours had all but wiped out the Earth. Circuit Smasher took the Wreckers to meet [[G.B. Blackrock]], who told them that the Ark should be their key target as it formed the basis of Megatron's technology and defensive capabilities. However, before they could make any specific plans their meeting was interrupted by a call from Megatron, who informed them that he had given Kup [[Scraplet]]s. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 3}}

[[File:Wreckers loose ends 4.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Springer once again split the Wreckers. While he, Sandstorm and Whirl went to meet Megatron the remaining bots and their human allies would assault the Ark. Both teams took heavy fire, Springer's squad were soon grounded by weight of numbers and the others got past the first wave of Ark defenses only to face a troupe of [[Guardian (Marvel)|Guardian Units]]. Megatron was about to execute Springer when Optimus Prime arrived with reinforcements, the distraction allowing the zombie Starscream to tell Kup to kill [[Ratchet (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ratchet]]. {{storylink| Loose Ends, Part 4}}

Prime demanded the Megatron let Springer go. However the Decepticon leader merely goaded his nemesis by glibly blasting Springer's head off at point blank range. Blinded with rage Prime attacked, leading Megatron to reveal that he had programmed [[Aunty|Auntie]], the Ark's computer, to launch every missile on the planet once their battle was done. At the Ark the Wreckers kept the Guardians busy so that Circuit Smasher could deal with Auntie. Kup managed to arm himself and make his way to Megatron's [[battle sled]] to kill Ratchet and with him Megatron, with whom the medic had become fused both in body and mind. Considering it a mercy killing Kup shot Ratchet, giving Prime the chance he needed to rip out Megatron's [[Spark]]. Fortunately by this time Circuit Smasher had deactivated Auntie and the planet was saved from further destruction. {{storylink| Loose Ends, Part 5}}

[[File:Kup fang destiny.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.9]]
In addition to Springer's death, [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]] and [[Leadfoot (G2)|Leadfoot]] were left in critical condition because of their injuries. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part One}} After returning to Cybertron, {{storylink| Natural Selection, Part Five}} the Wreckers acted as a security force for [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]]. When a group of Neo-Decepticons led by [[Fang]] blockaded the bridge [[Auto-artery RG1]], Kup led the Wreckers to detain them. When Kup started to come to blows with Fang, Roadbuster pulled him aside, suggesting they do things the way Springer would have, going so far as suggesting that Kup ''himself'' was making things worse by giving the populace something to hate. As they argued, two Cybertronians tried to sneak past the blockade, attacking Fang, causing a fight to break out. {{storylink| Destiny, Part Two}}

[[File:Wreckers destiny.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8]]
The Wreckers' next foray into action came in the form of a raid. Remotely coordinated by Ultra Magnus, they raided [[Fort Scyk]] in order to apprehend [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] and his Neo-Decepticons. However, having anticipated this, the Decepticons had abandoned the place and wired it to explode. Unsurprisingly, all of the Wreckers survived virtually unscathed, and Kup proceeded to report in to Magnus on the situation. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Three}}

When [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] launched an all out attack on Cybertron, Kup tried to convince [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prowl]] to let the Wreckers take the front lines. Prowl refused, saying that the Wreckers needed to be applied strategically, he just didn't know ''where''. This frustrated Kup. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Four}}

The Wreckers were eventually dispatched aboard a ship to infiltrate Bludgeon's base of operations, the [[Warworld]]. However Bludgeon was fully aware of their presence, slaughtering them with his mastery of [[Metallikato]]. As the Wreckers tried to stand against him, Kup escaped to destroy the reservoir of Matrix energy powering the Warworld, but Bludgeon, having swiftly defeated all of the other Wreckers, pursued him. After catching him, Bludgeon proceeded to beat Kup to within an inch of his life, and the old-timer was only saved by the arrival of the newly christened [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodimus Prime]]. As the new Prime soundly defeated Bludgeon and disabled the ship, Kup, along with his fellow Wreckers and Rodimus fled the ship as it was destroyed. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Five}}

[[File:Wreckers war to end all wars.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.8]]
When a more successful attack against the Autobots was launched by [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]], and Rodimus, along with a good number of the Autobot's forces were captured, the Wreckers (with Broadside now fully recovered from his wounds on Earth) carried on the fight on their own, single-handedly fending off thousands of [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronians]] while also desabalizing Jhiaxus's [[Hub (G2)|Hub Network]]. All while looking totally badass. When Rodimus and the others managed to free themselves, Autobot and Wrecker alike fled from the Hub as it began to disintegrate. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 4}}

Returning to Cybertron, the Autobots found the planet abandoned. Or so it seemed, as they were suddenly attacked by [[Shadow-leech]]es. As the Autobots held off the monsters, Perceptor came to the horrifying realisation that the Shadow-leeches were actually Cybertron's missing inhabitants, having been transformed by the [[Dark Matrix|Matrix's dark energy]]. As the Autobots' forces split up to cover multiple fronts, the Wreckers travelled to Earth to recruit their human allies. Upon successfully recruiting the humans, the Wreckers went to Nebulos, where they dispatched a rampaging [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], who had been possessed by the corrupted Matrix entity. Elsewhere, Rodimus defeated the Dark Matrix entity by sealing off their own universe from the rest of the multiverse, disconnecting them from Primus for good, causing the entity to die. However, without a connection to Primus, the Transformers' lifespans became decidedly finite, and over the eons all of the remaining Autobots and Decepticons, including the Wreckers, eventually died out from old age. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 5}}

When [[Punch (G1)|Punch]] had brought the news that [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] sought to reactivate [[Project Dreadnought]], he requested a dedicated wrecking crew from Ultra Magnus. Walking in at roughly the same time, Impactor and Roadbuster had a wave of inspiration. Rallying together some heavy-hitters, Impactor later retrieved Punch and introduced him to the Wreckers. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 3|Secrets & Lies #3}}

[[File:Wreckers punch terrorcons secrets and lies.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.7]]
For their first mission as a team, the Wreckers deployed to the nerve centre of Project Dreadnought and split up to their designated holding positions until Impactor could think of an appropriate signal. When they encountered the [[combiner]] [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], left by Straxus to defend the site, he coined the phrase "Wreckers! ''um''... wreck... ...and rule!" and the team went to work with Topspin and Twin Twist heading underground while the others battled the gestalt. After Rack'n'Ruin managed to take Abominus down with a [[Hammer (weapon)|hammer]] to the face, Impactor and the others piled into battle with the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] and [[Sinnertwin (G1)|Sinnertwin]] managed to bite off Impactor's hand while he was holding a [[harpoon]] gun, which went badly for Sinnertwin. This bought the Jumpstarters enough time to lay enough explosives to demolish the control centre, and the Wreckers returned to base victorious. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 4|Secrets & Lies #4}}

{{quote|'''Wreck and Rule!''' The battle cry has echoed down through the centuries... They were an elite group of AUTOBOT warriors during the Great War. Now they are a balance of MAXIMAL and PREDACON, AUTOBOT and DECEPTICON, gathered together as their race's last great hope for survival. In a universe torn asunder by chaos and fire, they are the chosen few who will stand against an evil that threatens to consume all things. They are the light amidst a growing darkness. They are '''The Wreckers.'''|Wreckers packaging blurb|[[BotCon 2001]] and [[BotCon 2002|2002]] toys.|noquote=true}}

After the end of the war, the [[Maximal High Council]] called the Wreckers back into service to protect the fragile peace that existed between [[Maximal]] and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]. They were originally stationed in Delta Three within the [[Wrecker Command Base]], but would eventually relocate to Delta Five {{storylink|Apelinq's War Journals}} on the far side of Cybertron. {{storylink|Departure}} The war veteran and gifted engineer Apelinq was assigned to be a squad commander of this new iteration of the legendary Autobot strike force, and several of his former comrades were also drafted. [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]] was also added to the ranks of the Wreckers in a commanding role. {{storylink|Disclosure|Apelinq's extended profile}} By 316 A.U., there were at least seven Wrecker Squadrons. {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1}}

All but Rodimus and Apelinq were lost to [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon forces]] and its [[transformation virus]]; by the time the foe was identified, many of the Wreckers had already fallen and Rodimus took the remainders bar Apelinq in a last-ditch strike in 316.247 AU. Rodimus' Matrix history left him immune to the virus and meant Apelinq could develop an inoculant, and meant they had a chance to find and save any survivors. Luckily, their depleted ranks were filled when a new horde of battle-hardened survivors—some brought by [[Primal Prime]] from the time-lost [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]]—surfaced in [[Polyhex]]. Around this time is when the team relocated from Delta Three to Delta Five, and Prime himself took command after an incident that sent Apelinq back in time. {{storylink|Apelinq's War Journals}} Apelinq eventually made it back via his own devices. In this troubled time, [[Decepticon]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] were also accepted into their ranks, including the Great War veterans [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]. {{storylink|Departure}}

[[Cryotek (RID)|Cryotek]] and the [[Quintesson]]s plotted to exploit this: the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]] [[shell program]] was placed on [[Vector Sigma]], allowing them to give false commands to any survivors and have Cybertron turned [[technorganic]], easier to conquer. Cyclonus was secretly working for them! {{storylink|Betrayal}} {{storylink|Disclosure}} (The technorganic shift was, in fact, part of [[Primus]]'s plan) {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}} The Wreckers were part of the many groups conned, sent off on a quest that would require fighting their way through the [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] guards at [[Shuttle Complex Ohm]]. A staggered batch of reinforcements turned a likely trap into victory {{storylink|Departure}} to the annoyance of the enemy conspirators, but Cyclonus successfully bombed their ship in secret to impair them.

Five Wreckers died because of [[Packrat]] cowardly sacrificing them. This contributed to growing tension in the team. They made it to [[Archa Nine]], home of the [[Divine Light]] power source that Cryotek coveted, and the team were so focused on Packrat that they didn't see Cyclonus coming! With the power source gone, the Wreckers could pretty much just mope. {{storylink|Betrayal}} Primal Prime took them on another quest, thinking he had an Oracle vision, and they found themselves on a planet where the Quintesson [[Al-badur]] lived in exile. There, they learned of the true threat (and that ''Vector Sigma'' had sent Prime the message) and they'd need to get the hell back to Cybertron! {{storylink|Disclosure}}

[[File:Chromutated.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|"We don't ''like'' out-of-towners!" "WE PUNCH WHAT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND!!"]]
The Wreckers made it back in time to find the newly technorganic planet was facing an all-out Quintesson invasion and they joined the army in fighting back. They took the fight to Cryotek, who successfully used the Divine Light to gain access to Primus' power; luckily, his first act of demigodhood was to accidentally merge Apelinq and Primal Prime into [[Sentinel Maximus]]! {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1}} While the two leaders threw down, the rest of the Wreckers fought Cyclonus, [[Chro]], and the Sharkticons. Mid-battle, [[Tap-Out (Universe)|Tap-Out]] and Skywarp went [[Cauldron|missing]] but the Wreckers still triumphed over these other foes. In the end, Cryotek was defeated by forcing him into an extradimensional portal and the Divine Light's divine power was drained off. The cost was Rodimus' life and Sentinel Maximus being lost along with Cryotek.

The battle over, they mourned their lost comrades and went their separate ways in a new, peacetime Cybertron. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}} (Well, ''briefly'' peacetime) {{storylink|Transformers: Universe (comic)|Universe}}

When the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] were released from imprisonment in Cybertron's [[Detention Banks]], the Wreckers responded in kind.

{{quote|They give the Autobots something to ''believe in!'' And it's all thanks to [[Ironfist (G1)|you]]. Without Fisitron and his datalogs, the Wreckers would be nothing more than a bunch of ''thugs with a death wish.''|[[Verity Carlo]], "[[Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Last Stand of the Wreckers #5]]}}

[[File:Wreckersstormbringer.jpg|left|upright=1.7|thumb|The IDW Wreckers are so hardcore they don't even need a spaceship. Except for when they [[Xantium (G1)|do]].]]
The Wreckers are the Autobots who get called in when the odds of success are non-existent, but the job needs to be done anyway. The origin of the group is unknown, and for the longest time their existence was no more than a rumor, even among the ranks of their fellow Autobots. {{storylink|Zero Point}} Because of the extreme nature of their missions, the Wreckers have a low survival rate, around 38% to 42%, depending on who you ask. {{storylink|Dead Men's Boots}} All of the founding members have died (with one [[Valve|deliberately ignored exception]]), and the group's roster has gone through over eighteen iterations. Although every active member isn't always present for every mission, Springer once said Wreckers only leave the group ''for good'' in three ways: death, dementia, or dishonorable discharge. In fact, the one rule this "No Rules" team abides by is The Veto: any Wrecker can remove any other Wrecker from the roster at any time. {{storylink|Interiors}}

The Wreckers' exploits have been lionized in the eyes of the rank and file by their unofficial biographer, "[[Ironfist (G1)|Fisitron]]", and his ''[[Wreckers: Declassified]]'' datalogs. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 1|Last Stand of the Wreckers #1}} Before his death, Fisitron produced 331 datalog adventures for his heroes, cobbled together from data requests, mission reports and [[Autopedia]] bios about the Wreckers and their history. Many Autobots in the fleet subscribed to Fisitron's datalogs. They were an inspiration to the Autobots, heroes of daring exploits who never leave each other behind and always save the day... or so ''Wreckers: Declassified'' and the official line would tell them. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Last Stand of the Wreckers #5}} {{storylink|Bullets}} In reality, the ''Declassifieds'' were full of embellishments and were quite sanitised. The dirtier the war got, the dirtier the Wreckers got, and they were always ''particularly'' dirty. Before they'd gone public, at least one Decepticon was caught wandering around, gibbering about Impactor's harpoons, before killing himself. {{storylink|Zero Point}}

Among the many adventures chronicled by Fisitron were the Wreckers' battles with the [[Anguished]], an event involving Broadside and some [[Rada Mor|psychic explosives]], {{storylink|Bullets}} Impactor rescuing Xaaron from the [[Sonic Canyons]] (at which point he coined the battle cry of "Wreck and rule!", while flying a [[sky-sled]] into a drilling platform) {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|Last Stand of the Wreckers #2}} and the [[Siege of T'Muk]]. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 1|Last Stand of the Wreckers #1}} Another episode involved Impactor rescuing hostages on the verge of an event horizon. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|Last Stand of the Wreckers #2}}

[[File:RulesofDisengagement-BlackShadowvsWreckers.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|right|Oh, and remember when Black Shadow blasted us all new ones? Good times.]]
They were founded by [[Threnody]] {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 1|Sins of the Wreckers #1}} and [[Valve]] was part of his first squad. {{storylink|Zero Point}} The earliest version we've seen in action was the 11th iteration, led by Crest and consisting of Hyperion, Impactor, Valve, Piston, Rack, and at least one more member. They battled the Warriors Elite genocide specialist named [[Black Shadow (G1)|Black Shadow]], and three Wreckers died in combat, including their leader Crest and Piston. {{storylink|Rules of Disengagement (issue)|Rules of Disengagement}} Hyperion, a known former Wreckers leader, likely succeeded Crest as commander.

The roster continued to evolve, as Hyperion stepped down for reasons unknown, and Impactor went on to become the team's longest serving member and leader. The last surviving founding member, Valve, abandoned the Autobot cause and joined up with the Decepticons. He was responsible for founding and leading the Wreckers' opposite number, [[Squadron X]]. His betrayal cut so deep that the Wreckers collectively refuse to acknowledge his history with the group. {{storylink|Zero Point}} The reason for Valve's betrayal hasn't been explained, although considering that around this time the Wreckers recruited Whirl (a loose cannon indirectly responsible for the death of Valve's brothers, [[Wheelarch]] and [[Springarm]]), one could make an educated guess.

[[File:RequiemoftheWreckers WreckersWelcome.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5|WELCOME TO DIE!]]
Following the battle of [[Sherma Bridge]] and after the public became aware of the Wreckers' existence, Impactor recruited Springer into the 17th iteration of the team. {{storylink|Transformers: Requiem of the Wreckers|Requiem of the Wreckers}} Springer rose quickly in the ranks, becoming Impactor's first officer and nicknamed "his little green circuit booster" after his knack for rallying the team's spirits. Unfortunately, the horrors of war began to weigh on Springer, as he saw the Wreckers straying further and further from the [[Autobot Code]]. He ignored the "slips" for some time, then began telling himself at least he was making sure (increasingly fewer) Decepticons were still alive in incredible pain or buried rather than being dead, and then he began saying that at least it wasn't ''him'' brutalising prisoners; but as Impactor's hatred of Squadron X became more bittered and obsessive, Springer's resolve began to shake. A watching Prowl began waiting hundreds of years for an excuse to bring them in. And eventually, the Wreckers began to outright ignore threats, even as grim as the [[Black Epoch]] and the ongoing [[Simanzi Massacre]], so they could continue tracking Squadron X. {{storylink|Zero Point}}

After Springer was recruited, another Wrecker named Blocker succumbed to dementia and began cannibalizing his best friend. He was removed from the roster and replaced by Sandstorm. {{storylink|Zero Point}}

[[File:LastStandoftheWreckers4-triumphoverevil.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.8|TEAM WIPE!]]
Twenty years before the [[Surge (event)|Surge]], the vendetta between Impactor and Squadron X came to an end on the neutral planet of [[Pova]]. The roster by this time included Springer, Roadbuster, Sandstorm, Whirl, Broadside, and the now conjoined Rack'n'Ruin. After being pursued across nine star systems, Squadron X was caught off-guard refueling their ship, the ''[[Pale Fire]]''. A battle ensued, and Impactor made the winning move by shooting through trapped Springer's back, taking the Squadron by surprise. The entire roster was captured and fitted with inhibitor claws by the Wreckers. Impactor proudly called in his catch to [[Autobot High Command]], but [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] told him the unthinkable: they had to let Squadron X go. A non-interference pact made with the Povans made the capture illegal and a potential political nightmare, so Prowl ordered Impactor to release the Decepticons. Instead, Impactor took Roadbuster's gun and put himself in a room with the prisoners, executing each of them one at a time with a bullet through the brain module. Springer was nearly crippled by injuries he suffered during the fight, but as he dragged himself over to room, he saw Impactor standing over the bodies. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Last Stand of the Wreckers #5}}

Springer reported his superior officer to High Command, and Impactor was arrested under the [[Tyrest Accord]] for violating the Autobot Code and killing helpless prisoners. At the [[Aequitas]] trials, Springer's testimony sank any chances Impactor had of release, and he was sentenced to [[Garrus-9]]. A cover story was released that Impactor had been locked away for selling circuit boosters to the [[Chomskian]]s. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|Last Stand of the Wreckers #2}}

[[File:Animals-RadarGatoraider.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|left|"FINISH HIM!"]]
Springer became the Wrecker leader after Impactor's arrest. He'd been asked to by the other Wreckers and thought that he could correct their increasingly immoral course; what he didn't know was that the other members were trying to cover up their collusion with Impactor's murders. They lavished praise on Springer in the hopes that he wouldn't demand they be prosecuted, too, and the hoodwinked Springer gave such a clear, unambiguous witness statement to the guilt-reading [[Aequitas]] that none of the others had to be plugged in to give an account. {{storylink|Zero Point}} Some time after Springer took command, Rack'n'Ruin died. {{storylink|Dead Men's Boots}} Despite the change in leadership, the Wreckers continued to operate in a brutal capacity, maintaining their fearsome reputation among Decepticons. In a particularly-violent raid on a squad led by [[Krok (G1)|Krok]], Roadbuster- high on [[Syk]], tore out [[Radar]]'s spine and made him ''eat it''. {{storylink|Animals}}

Decades later, the Wreckers were assigned to [[Varas Centralus]] after the Decepticon [[Infiltration protocol|infiltration unit]] on that planet went to [[Phase Sixer|Phase Six]]. They were pulled out and sent back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] at the order of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] when the Autobot leader suspected that [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] might have been behind the disappearance of the [[Calabi-Yau]]. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 2|Stormbringer #2}} The Wreckers arrived just in time to save [[Nosecone (G1)|Nosecone]] and [[Afterburner (G1)|Afterburner]]. They then proceeded to take [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s team apart without breaking a sweat. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 3|Stormbringer #3}} Thunderwing was ''slightly'' more challenging, but the Wreckers suffered no apparent casualties. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4|Stormbringer #4}}

[[File:SpotlightSideswipe ThunderwingVSWreckers.jpg|right|upright=1.8|thumb|''-10... -10... -10... -10... -10... -10... -10... -10... -10... -10...'']]
When Thunderwing popped up again guarding a cave on [[Corata-Vaz]], Optimus Prime sent for the team once again. {{storylink|Spotlight: Cyclonus}} While they did not succeed in stopping Thunderwing themselves, they managed to survive until he was rendered inert by [[Jetfire (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Jetfire]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

Sometime later, some of the Wreckers were captured by the Decepticons. They were rescued by the remaining Wreckers, now led by [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Kup]], [[Perceptor (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Perceptor]], and [[Drift (G1)|Drift]], who was acting independently. After this, Kup decided to form a new team that included Wreckers [[Springer (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Springer]] and [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Drift}}

[[File:LastStandoftheWreckers1-newrecruits.jpg|thumb|upright=1.45|left|"What's your name, soldier?" "Parts, sir! Private Parts!"]]
After the great push by Megatron, Kup and Perceptor were made into Wreckers, with Ultra Magnus and [[Verity Carlo]] providing them with transport. Springer began to rebuild the Wreckers, compiling a list of potential recruits and sending them to Prowl for approval. Prowl substituted [[Ironfist (G1)|Ironfist]] in over Springer's choice of [[Skyfall (G1)|Skyfall]], but the other picks were given the green light. {{storylink|Out of Bullets}} Along with Ironfist, Wrecker reservists [[Guzzle (G1)|Guzzle]], [[Pyro (G1)|Pyro]], and [[Rotorstorm (G1)|Rotorstorm]] were added to the roster. Springer was becoming weary of assembling these teams, only to see them blown apart.

The first mission by the new team was to travel to [[Garrus-9]] and bring it back under Autobot control. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 1|Last Stand of the Wreckers #1}} After the arrival of a battered Impactor, however, they discovered that the sociopathic [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] had seized control of the facility and the whole place had gone mental. A report from Prowl also stated they needed to find "[[Aequitas]]". Splitting into two teams, the Wreckers made planetfall {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|Last Stand of the Wreckers #2}} and soon became separated from each other. Perceptor's team were tasked to find Aequitas, but Springer abruptly changed strategy and split his group into two: one to find the prisoners, the other to "get help" from a maximum security cell. Perceptor's team succeeded—albeit with the loss of Rotorstorm to Overlord—but Springer, Impactor and Twin Twist were captured. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 3|Last Stand of the Wreckers #3}}

[[File:LastStandoftheWreckers5- Ironfist Perceptor Verity.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|right]]
Topspin willingly sacrificed himself to activate Aequitas, simultaneously killing Twin Twist due to their branched spark. Kup and Guzzle failed to find the help they were looking for, but managed to save Springer and Impactor from death by torture. As Springer's team faced down Overlord himself, the other Wreckers finished their mission by downloading Aequitas's data into Ironfist. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 4|Last Stand of the Wreckers #4}} Perceptor's group then went to aid the others in the battle against Overlord, with Pyro sacrificing himself in the process. Overlord effortlessly defeated most of the remaining Wreckers, but was eventually taken down thanks to Ironfist's connection to Aequitas. Garrus-9 was liberated, and miraculously, no further Wreckers had been killed in the fight with Overlord... though Springer was in a critical condition and Ironfist succumbed to a workplace injury and died on the way home. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Last Stand of the Wreckers #5}}

Convinced that their leader, Springer, was a goner, Whirl used Roadbuster's [[Sparkeater (weapon)|Sparkeater]] to attempt to euthanize Springer. Instead he was caught in the act by Roadbuster and kicked out of the Wreckers. {{storylink|Interiors}} [[Rung (G1)|Rung]] later suggested to Roadbuster that reading something emotional could reactivate the leader of the Wreckers, so Roadbuster read datalogs from the ''Wreckers: Declassified'', to no avail. However, after Roadbuster confessed to Springer what the other Wreckers felt about what Impactor did, and called Springer their best leader, the comatose Autobot began showing signs of life. {{storylink|Zero Point}}

Pardoned after Garrus-9, Impactor continued to wreck with Guzzle. The latter became increasingly blood-thirsty and large, and even Impactor, who'd made progress on giving up his overly violent ways, succumbed again.{{storylink|Escape (G1)|Escape}}

[[File:Sins of the Wreckers2-everybody's unhappy.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Ha, you expected that cool splash of the group from ''Sins'' #1? Tough luck, buster, you get a more accurate depiction of the Wreckers!]]
Five years after Garrus-9, Prowl was abducted by the insane [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] and to get him back, a rejuvenated Springer assembled a new Wreckers team out of old guys and whoever happened to be around. For most members, this was more about keeping Prowl's secrets like the Aequitas data out of the public eye. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 1|Sins of the Wreckers #1}} In true Wreckers fashion, this went horribly wrong for most people involved and the team were rapidly faced with their own psychological issues: Kup learning how he'd killed Autobots while mad, Guzzle in constant battle fury, and Roadbuster proving still willing to torture. Backing Tarantulas up were [[Mayhem Attack Squad|Mayhem]], whose leader [[Carnivac (G1)|Carnivac]] felt Springer should be with them. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 2|Sins of the Wreckers #2}} Half the team invaded the [[Noisemaze (dimension)|Noisemaze]] to reach [[Tor|Tarantulas' base]] and were immediately defeated by its maddening environment, with the exception of Verity (human) and the frequency-blocking Hubcap. The latter was then seen with Tarantulas, while Springer, Arcee, and Roadbuster were plugged into the guilt-extracting [[Impetus]] to relive their worst sins.

Impactor and Kup, meanwhile, had gone back to Debris: Impactor knew a little about the Noisemaze and had a 'backdoor' to it buried under his own in-waiting grave! {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 3|Sins of the Wreckers #3}}

While in Impetus, Roadbuster relived the [[Roadbuster affair]], where he killed his assigned cadets in the name of [[Mortilus]], who spoke to him as a voice in his head. In reality, the voice was Tarantulas, shrunken down to a tiny size to whisper in his ear. One surviving cadet was Hubcap, who was incensed that Roadbuster served minimal time for his crimes, and fell in with Tarantulas to help punish those responsible, including Prowl. Verity revealed she is dying due to exposure from Aequitas' radiation and blackmailed Prowl as a cry for help. Impactor, Guzzle and Kup used a space portal to drag ''Debris'' into the Noisemaze and collapse it, while rescuing their comrades. Inside, they battled the Mayhems, including Tidal Wave. Hubcap had a change of heart and freed the captive Wreckers, who attacked Tarantulas while Prowl went with Hubcap back to ''Debris''. Roadbuster smashed into Tarantulas and they both fell out a window. In the confusion, Tarantulas shrunk and buried himself inside Roadbuster's head, expanding to full size and killing him. Prowl is talked out of killing Hubcap due to his possession of the Aequitas data, just before Impactor did the deed, as the info was just too dangerous for Hubcap to possess. As the Wreckers planned to blow up the Noisemaze and destroy all of Tarantulas's inventions, the spider returned and confronted them. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 4|Sins of the Wreckers #4}}

Using mass displacement, Tarantulas grew to massive size, while shrinking the Tor itself down to pocket size so that he could safely transport the facility out of the collapsing Noisemaze. He then turned on Arcee, Verity, and Prowl, gloating over how he healed Verity's illness purely to prove his intellect to Prowl. Springer planted explosives, while sending Impactor to deliver the Obtenteum and aid the others. Impactor revealed it was not Prowl who pushed Tarantulas into the Noisemaze all those years ago, but Impactor himself. At the sound of Springer's voice crackling over Impactor's comm, Tarantulas realized that Ostaros was not dead, but was now Springer. Tarantulas forgot his vengeance and instead climbed into the pit to reunite with his child. Prowl and Verity took the Obtenteum while the others battled Tarantulas.

[[File:Sins05-guzzledies.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.25|Dementia, dishonorable discharge, death.]]
While Tidal Wave punched his way through ''Debris'', coffins spilled out and Verity was brought to tears as Ironfist's body landed right in front of her. Guzzle used his own cannon to blast himself up into the air, jamming the Obtenteum into Tidal Wave's mouth and driving him mad. This forced Carnivac to unwittingly play into the Wreckers' hands by using his Outlier power to forcibly convert Tidal Wave to whale mode. The g-forces of the giant's transformation—amplified by the Obtenteum, were the last push needed to trigger the Noisemaze's complete and irrevocable collapse. Arcee and Impactor escaped while Tarantulas leaped into the pit after Springer. Springer attacked and could no longer transmit his part of the call-and-response signal, forcing Impactor, with the utmost reluctance, to press the button to set off the explosives. Aboard the damaged ''Debris'' Guzzle threatened to kill Kup and Prowl as revenge for the deaths of his friends on [[Tsiehshi]] and Prowl's crimes. Impactor was forced to kill Guzzle to save them. Prowl ran back inside the Noisemaze before it collapsed and saved Springer's life. Kup and Arcee returned to Optimus Prime's ranks on Earth while Impactor took up Carnivac on his offer to join Mayhem, joining their crusade to bring down those in power who use 'bots like them as pawns. Back in Nome, Alaska, Verity and Springer stared up happily at the Northern Lights, enjoying the normalcy while it lasted. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 5|Sins of the Wreckers #5}}

[[File:RequiemoftheWreckers Wrookies.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.2]]
Springer and Verity lived on their own for a bit, with Springer using his time to remotely train new Wreckers cadets, but the two were soon dragged into a new plot by Carnivac and Mayhem. After learning of Impactor's terrorist actions as part of Mayhem, Springer became disillusioned again by his former commander, but the two teamed up to save the kidnapped Verity from the survived Tarantulas and Overlord. To prevent Overlord from going back in time with Tarantulas' [[Timemaze]] portal, Impactor sacrificed himself to give Springer the opportunity to defeat the Phase-Sixer once and for all. With Tarantulas also having died and Mayhem in shambles, Springer decided to use the Timemaze to travel back and attempt to rewrite history so the war would never begin. He bid farewell to Verity and sent a message to his cadets, as well as all surviving Wreckers before he left. Springer begged them to honor the Wreckers' bloodstained legacy by forgetting it and stepped through the portal with the final advice "Wreck the past, Rule your future." {{storylink|Transformers: Requiem of the Wreckers|Requiem of the Wreckers}}

====''Wings Universe''====
During the Great War, the Wreckers were Autobot elite commandos led by [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]], who served as the opposite number to [[Macabre]] and his Decepticons in [[Squadron X]]. Their long struggle came to an unexpected end when Macabre set an ambush for the Wreckers on [[Torax Prime]] which they never walked into. Instead, the various members of Squadron X slowly turned against Macabre or went completely insane waiting for the Wreckers to show up. Impactor's squad eventually came to Torax Prime only after hearing about a massive explosion, caused when [[Earthquake (G1)|Earthquake]] strapped a couple of bombs to his chest and rushed Macabre in a demonstration of his dissatisfaction with the current mission. {{storylink|Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur}}

The Wreckers' activities are largely undocumented beyond that, although centuries later, one group of Wreckers was led by [[Primal Prime]] during a [[Quintesson]] invasion. Shortly before or during [[2984]], [[Cheetor (BW)|Alpha Trizer]] recently reformed the Wreckers under Primal Prime's command and given the ship ''[[Rodimus Major]]'' to patrol distant corners of the galaxy in the name of peace (and give some of the more aggressive personalities on peacetime Cybertron an outlet). {{storylink|BotCon 2014|Primal Prime's customization class booklet}} {{storylink|Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur|Apelinq's personal logs}}

Primal Prime invited [[Flareup (G1)|Flare-Up]] to join the Wreckers, but [[Ginrai (robot)|Ginrai]] had already recruited her for the [[Cybertronian Knight]]s.

As the Knights responded with dread to an impending mandatory meditation session and lecture from Alpha Trizer, [[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]] quipped that the Wreckers had refused the assignment.

When Ginrai called a red alert for what turned out to be a space fender-bender at a [[Nebulos]] spaceport, Apelinq reported that the Wreckers were two systems away. {{storylink|Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur|Apelinq's personal logs}}

While journeying to check up on a Predacon colony near the [[Dark Nebula]], the ''Rodimus Major'' was caught in the gravity well of a wormhole anomaly. {{storylink|BotCon 2014|Primal Prime's customization class booklet}} With no hope of breaking free, Primal Prime ordered [[Fireflight (Universe Deluxe)|Fireflight]], the only Wrecker with personal FTL capability, to return at top speed to Cybertron with their logs. {{storylink|Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur|Apelinq's personal logs}}

====Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity====
When [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] and [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]] were created in [[Legends World|another dimension]], ''Transformers'' nerd [[Waspinator (Legends)|Waspinator]] identified them as Wreckers from [[#Marvel The Transformers comics|a British comic book]]. {{storylink|LG04 Roadbuster}} The two accepted this as their origin story and, after traveling to the year 2004 of the [[G1 World]], introduced themselves as Wreckers to [[Topspin (G1)|Topspin]] and [[Twin Twist (G1)|Twin Twist]]. [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] overheard their conversation and thought it was a really cool name for a team, so he founded his own Wreckers as a new Autobot unit and recruited all four of them. {{storylink|LG07 Jetfire}} {{storylink|Jumpstarter Chapter#LG-07 Jetfire Sequel|LG-07 Jetfire Sequel}} Springer's vague mission statement for the Wreckers was "doing cool stuff", but [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] thought that was stupid and instead charged them with cleaning the area around [[Mount St. Hilary]]. As a result, a disappointed Springer left the team for a few years. {{storylink|Jumpstarter Chapter#G1 Wreckers Birth Story|G1 Wreckers Birth Story}}

In the 2030s, the Wreckers traveled to the Legends World to defend it from [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] and [[Katsu Don]]. {{storylink|Jumpstarter Chapter#LG65 Twin Twist Prologue|LG65 Twin Twist Prologue}} Topspin and Twin Twist did most of the work thanks to having mastered the powers of the [[Zodiac]]. {{storylink|LG65 Targetmaster Twin Twist}} {{storylink|LG66 Targetmaster Topspin}}

After the monstrous [[Thunder Mayhem]] was created by the Decepticons and unleashed on the universe, the Wreckers took it on and were slaughtered. Only Impactor survived and swore revenge on the seemingly-unstoppable [[combiner]], which went on to completely devastate Cybertron and nearly wipe out the planet's entire population. {{storylink|Lively Pursuit}} Seeking new soldiers from the meager pool of Cybertronians left alive, Impactor traveled the galaxy and recruited Counterpunch on [[Paradron]], {{storylink|The Truth We Make}} Fractyl on [[Chicxulania]], {{storylink|Life Finds a Way}} Alpha Bravo and Offroad on [[Abrax]]as, {{storylink|Foundation and Wreckage Part 1: Deadly Aim|Deadly Aim}} and awakened a sealed-away Toxitron in the ruins of Cybertron. {{storylink|The Toxic Transformer}}

Deciding the only way to combat Thunder Mayhem was with a combiner of their own, Impactor put Fractyl to work on that project. Fractyl combined the mysterious power source [[greenergon]] with Toxitron's unique biochemistry, allowing for a comparable merger to Thunder Mayhem. After the Wreckers were all physically re-engineered, they traveled to an alien planet to test their new ability. All save Impactor merged, with the newborn gestalt dubbing himself "[[Wreckage (G1)|Wreckage]]". They were soon attacked by [[Mecannibal]]s, and Wreckage went on a rampage and began slaughtering them, then turning his bloodlust on Impactor. Only Alpha Bravo's willpower and internal horror at what they had become stopped Wreckage, forcing his disassembly. After returning to their ship, Alpha Bravo decided that Wreckage was as great a monster as Thunder Mayhem and could not be allowed to form again. He murdered his best friend Offroad and then allowed himself to be killed by Toxitron, intending that to be the end of Wreckage. The team was shaken by the betrayal and moreso when they realized Impactor had a failsafe installed in Wreckage that would kill all of them if the need arose. {{storylink|Foundation and Wreckage Part 1: Deadly Aim|Deadly Aim}}

The Wreckers returned to Cybertron and encountered Bluestreak, having fallen under the sway of the [[Teklaan]]s. Impactor managed to convince him to join them and Bluestreak chose to be reformatted into a new limb for Wreckage. With Impactor now joining the merger, Wreckage was able to form up once again and drove the Teklaans off Cybertron. The Wreckers then discovered that the [[Mayhem Attack Squad]] was on [[Earth]] and headed there next to finally confront Thunder Mayhem. {{storylink|Lively Pursuit}}

Arriving on Earth, they found [[Metalhawk (G1)|Metalhawk]]'s team of Autobot [[Pretender]]s as well as [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] himself fighting Thunder Mayhem and its new ally [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]]. {{storylink|Pandora's Gift}} The Wreckers combined into Wreckage once more and took Thunder Mayhem on, managing to finally defeat their adversary with the help of the other Autobots and [[human]] allies.

During the waning days of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], the Wreckers tried to stop an [[Underbase]]-powered [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] only to be wiped out. {{storylink|Not All Megatrons}}

[[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] mentioned he was a former Wrecker. {{storylink|Derailment}}

====2019 IDW continuity====
[[File:Wreckeridw.png|thumb|]]

Led by Thunderclash, the Wreckers were ostensibly an undercover security force for [[Colonial Security]], presenting themselves as a traveling group of daredevils to avoid suspicion. The Wreckers operated without back-up or support from Colonial Security, leaving it unclear who exactly sanctioned them. Aside from Thunderclash, the group was composed of Aileron, Hot Shot, Ricochet, medical officer Minerva and cameraman Circuit.

After nearly two megacycles out in space, the Wreckers' feed was hijacked by the terrorists [[Mayhem Attack Squad|Mayhem]] who announced their opposition to the [[Speedia 500]] and demanded that [[Velocitron]] cancel the event and give power to the proletariat. At Thunderclash's order, the ''[[Stuntmaster]]'' set course for Velocitron where, contrary to Aileron's hope for covert ops, Thunderclash publicly declared that the Wreckers would join in the race. {{storylink|Tread & Circuits Part 1}}

[[File:Tread&Circuits1 WreckersJump.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2|WRECK AND DO THE DEW!!]]
While the rest of the group scouted the top racers in hopes of finding Mayhem's operative, Circuit tracked down Mayhem only to be shot as he was relaying his position. Though his comrades found him, he was left in critical condition as the race began. {{storylink|Tread & Circuits Part 2}}

Once the Speedia 500 got underway, the Wreckers fended off Mayhem attacks, with some help from the other racers. Before they could take down [[Axer (G1)|Axer]], the local [[Security Operations]] appeared in droves and seized control of the scene, allowing the Mayhem operatives to sneak away and the [[Decepticon|Ascenticon]] racer, [[Knock Out (G1)|Knock Out]], to win the race. {{storylink|Tread & Circuits Part 3}}

Days later, the Wreckers attended the ceremonies at the Velocitronian Senate swearing in the First Senator and new delegates. As Knock Out was being sworn in, Submarauder skewered him with a harpoon gun, the Wreckers springing into action to both take down Mayhem and evacuate the civilians from the area. Though they succeeded, Minerva was caught holding the harpoon gun and arrested for attempted murder. Despite their best efforts, the Wreckers were forced to leave Minerva behind. When the medic was shown that Knock Out and Mayhem were in cahoots the entire time, she was promptly sentenced to indefinite stasis by the First Senator.

Back on the ''Stuntmaster'', the remaining Wreckers broadcast their intent to step away from the spotlight for a time, their last broadcast before Circuit passed away from his wounds. Worried about the political situation on Cybertron, but inspired by [[Leadfoot (G2)|Leadfoot]]'s enthusiasm, Thunderclash decided that the Wreckers should expand their ranks, putting out a call to trustworthy allies, both inviting them to join and help them find a [[space bridge]] back home. {{storylink|Tread & Circuits Part 4}}

====Fun Publications ''Shattered Glass'' continuity====
The Wreckers were a band of mercenaries led by [[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus]], who spent their time looting and pillaging the countryside. They approved of [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus]]'s campaign of conquest, but initially preferred to remain autonomous.

That is, until one fateful day when Optimus hired the Wreckers to fight alongside his Autobots at the battle of [[Praxus-Delta]]. The battle was brutal and resulted in every Wrecker except Rodimus meeting the fate of most Wreckers across the [[multiverse]] at the hands of the Decepticons. Rodimus impressed Optimus by remaining in the fight regardless, in order to fulfill the contract. Thanks to his efforts the Autobots escaped without further losses, and Optimus was so impressed that he offered Rodimus leadership of the [[Seeker (SG)|Seekers]], which the former Wrecker accepted. {{storylink|Rodimus (SG)#Timelines|BotCon 2008 Rodimus profile card}}

After the [[Mayhem Suppression Squad]] had successfully turned back one of the Autobots' raids, [[Side Burn (SG)|Side Burn]] reminded Prime that he ''had'' recommended reforming the Wreckers as their best counter to the Squad.

Later, when trying to convince [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] and [[Sideswipe (SG)|Sideswipe]] to leave the Decepticons and join up with one of his power-grabbing schemes, Rodimus hearkened back to what was likely the Wreckers' old motto, when he told them that they'd have "a whole planet ready to ''wreck-and-ruin''!" {{storylink|Dungeons & Dinobots}}

After an encounter with Senator [[Shockwave (SG)|Shockwave]] exposed Magnus' poor grasp on the team, Magnus removed Impactor from the group and gave them their name. At Pax's command, the Wreckers launched an attack on the [[Senate]], killing many Senators and abducting Shockwave for the [[empurata]] procedure. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 1|Shattered Glass II #1}} When the Great War broke out, [[Blaster (SG)|Blaster]] joined their ranks. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 2|Shattered Glass II #2}} After the war ended, Magnus placed Wreckers throughout Autobot society so they could keep him abreast of various developments. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 5|Shattered Glass #5}}

After the Decepticons had conquered [[Kaon (polity)|Gold City]] and Goldbug had revived [[Metroplex (SG)|Metroplex]], the Wreckers came before Optimus Prime. Recognizing that Prime would simply have the Wreckers fight all threats in his stead, the Wreckers turned on and overthrew Optimus. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 1|Shattered Glass II #1}} At Magnus' order, the Wreckers first began sabotaging the Decepticons' communications efforts. Though Blaster failed in his task, a failure for which he was promptly beheaded, the Wreckers managed to listen on Decepticon transmissions. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 2|Shattered Glass II #2}}

Via Slicer, the Wreckers managed to steal Metroplex from Goldbug, turning the Titan into their base of operations. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 3|Shattered Glass II #3}} Still plagued by self-confidence issues however, Ultra Magnus did not believe he could lead the Autobots as himself, instead conspiring to steal Optimus's body. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 5|Shattered Glass II #5}} After being repaired, Optimus was brought to Metroplex, {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 4|Shattered Glass II #4}} where his [[spark]] was extracted and placed in Magnus's body.

When [[Soundwave (SG)|Soundwave]] charged into Metroplex, alongside a defected Slicer, the Wreckers fell one-by-one before Slicer shot Magnus through the chest, seemingly ending the Wreckers. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 5|Shattered Glass II #5}}

During the [[Great War (Animated)|Great War]], the Wreckers were a major problem for the Decepticons, operating behind their lines as a commando unit. They are noted for interrupting supply lines, destroying the mainframe on [[Bk'n]], and demolishing the shipyards of [[Salvvatan VI]]. They operated from the [[Omega Sentinel (Animated)|Omega Sentinel]] ship ''[[Zeta Supreme|Xantium]]'', which was bonded to [[Impactor Major]], apparently the leader of the team. Megatron created the [[Decepticon Heavy Brigade]] specifically to hunt down the Wreckers. When they finally met in battle, [[Blackout (Animated)|Blackout]] was the only survivor on either side. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II}}

[[File:ChainOfCommand Wreckers.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|On the count of three, everybody say "Whirl sucks!"]]
The Wreckers traced their origins to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s Age of Origins, emerging as a band of roving vigilantes that protected the primitive settlements of Cybertron from marauding and pillaging groups such as the [[Vandal]]s, [[Breaker (COP)|Breakers]], and [[Ravager]]s. When the [[Quintesson]]s arrived on Cybertron, they created an official planetary police force, branding the Wreckers as outlaws. The Wreckers did not take this well, later joining [[Sentinel Zeta Prime]]'s rebellion against the invaders. When the era of colonization began, the Wreckers protected the first duplicate [[Well of All Sparks]] on the planet [[Archon]] from religious doomsday cultists. {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

During the era of the [[Functionism|caste system]], the Wreckers had become [[Autobot High Council|Council Guardians]], later siding with the Autobots in the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}} [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] and [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] were also members, though early on in the war Bulkhead left to join [[Team Prime]]. {{storylink|Con Job}} Wheeljack left when [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]] was appointed to lead the squad {{storylink|Chain of Command (Prime)|Chain of Command}} by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] with the hopes Magnus would be able to give the squad some discipline. {{storylink|Project Predacon}} The Wreckers took part in the siege of the [[Hydrax Plateau]]. Afterwards, they were all that stood between [[Devastator (WFC)|Devastator]] and the [[Tagan Heights]] before [[Defensor (WFC)|Defensor]] arrived. They guarded the [[Well of All Sparks]] when [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] descended through it to free the [[core]] of its suffocation by [[Dark Energon]]. Ultra Magnus, [[Springer (WFC)|Springer]], and other team members opted to remain behind to distract [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]] when the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'' launched, gaining invaluable allies in [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]], [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]], and [[Alpha Trion]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

After Cybertron went dark, Wheeljack traveled the stars and eventually found Bulkhead on [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Con Job}} He left shortly after their reunion and continued to search the galaxy. He eventually found [[Seaspray (Prime)|Seaspray]], but [[Dreadwing (Prime)|Dreadwing]] had found them both and promptly destroyed Seaspray's ship, killing the Wrecker. When Dreadwing made his way to Earth, Wheeljack followed to get his revenge. {{storylink|Loose Cannons}} The [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticon]] [[Hardshell]] noted that he had off-lined several Wreckers when fighting Bulkhead. {{storylink|Toxicity}} Miko was inducted as a Wrecker by Wheeljack after she off-lined Hardshell. {{storylink|Hurt}} At some point, [[Elite Guard]] graduate [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] had studied every battle the Wreckers had been involved in. {{storylink|The Human Factor}} After arriving on Earth, Ultra Magnus again attempted to instill some discipline into Bulkhead and Wheeljack, but this only led to Wheeljack temporarily quitting the team. {{storylink|Chain of Command (Prime)|Chain of Command}} The Wreckers served as a vital asset to Team Prime during the twilight days of the war, usually handling large swaths of enemies on their own {{storylink|Evolution}} and proved instrumental in securing the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'' during the final battle of the war. {{storylink|Deadlock (episode)|Deadlock}}

[[File:DOTM-Leadfoot-Topspin.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|How am I gonna stop some big, mean Mother Hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous new behind? The answer, use a gun. And if that don't work? Use more gun.]]
The Wreckers, [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]], [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]], and [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], were a trio of engineering geniuses who came to Earth aboard the Autobot spaceship ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]''. The Wreckers rarely left the secret Autobot launch facility at Cape Canaveral, partially because caring for the ship dominated their time, and partially because they were assholes. The Wreckers helped engineer the Autobots' feigned exile from Earth and assassination by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and later participated in the battle for [[Chicago]]. They proved effective, if vicious, fighters, dismantling their fair share of Decepticons (including the gargantuan [[Devcon (DOTM)|Devcon]]), challenging [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and rescuing [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] from an embarrassing situation. All three of them would continue fighting and would be among the surviving Autobots, accepting Earth as their true home. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

After the Battle of Chicago, [[Harold Attinger]] formed a secret faction of the CIA known as "[[Cemetery Wind]]" to hunt down all Transformers regardless of faction. Leadfoot was among the many casualties of the hunt, and his death was revealed to the surviving Autobots by [[Cade Yeager]]. [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] sadly took off his hat in respect for his fallen friend, and Optimus Prime vowed to kill the person responsible for Leadfoot and the other's deaths. {{storylink|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction}}

Topspin was very fortunate, as he was given sanctuary in [[Cuba]] with [[Seymour Simmons]]. He spent most of his time pestering him to go to the beach or play volleyball for fun. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

At some point, at least four Wreckers faced off against [[Scourge (ROTB)|Scourge]] and lost, the [[Terrorcon (ROTB)|Terrorcon]] leader claiming their insignias as trophies. {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts}}

BluJayWarrior: /* Toys */ Adding Generations FOC team since Wreckers is called out on their packaging and Ruination has the insignia

{{factions|autobot|wreckers|wreckersidw}}
{{featured}}
{{disambig3|Wreckers}}
[[File:Wreckers symbol.png|thumb|Wreck & Rule.]]
The '''Wreckers''' are a special task force, generally composed of the best and the toughest die-hard fighters around. Its ranks include a veritable who's-who of the obscure; mechs you've never heard much about, mostly because the Wreckers are often called in to fight when the odds of success are slim. Bluntly, they tend to burn through their roster at a frightening rate. The Wreckers are a close-knit group that's more concerned with bursting in, guns-blazing, and doing their Thing, than they are concerned with, say, strategy. Despite their disregard for planning and the bodycount their team mounts, the Wreckers are amazingly successful. If it's a lost cause, the Wreckers will be there, winning the day with sheer guts and determination.

Perhaps the most celebrated leader of the Wreckers is [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], though the memory of his former leader, [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]], hangs over his head. The team also often has ties to [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], and the [[Maximal]] future will bring leaders such as [[Apelinq (BM)|Apelinq]] and [[Primal Prime]].

They're associated with Autobots like the [[Deluxe Vehicle]]s and [[Jumpstarter]]s, but when [[Target: 2006|times]] [[Transformers: The Wreckers|get]] [[The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers|really]] [[Of Masters and Mayhem|desperate]], they'll grab ''anyone'': newly modified Autobots, [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]], squishy [[human]]s, and even former [[Decepticon]]s or the [[Ironfist (G1)#2005 IDW continuity|dying]].

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 continuity family===
====Marvel Comics continuity====
=====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics=====
{{noteukexclusive|The Wreckers}}
[[File:Wreckersoriginallineup.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|They always smile after a nice massacre.]]
The Wreckers were [[Emirate]] [[Xaaron (G1)|Xaaron]]'s special ops squad, first being heard from during [[Trannis]]'s dread advances. Their first mission was to assassinate Trannis himself and they succeeded (and that meant [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] took over, whoops). {{storylink|Cybertron: The Middle Years!}}

In [[1986]], the roster of the Wreckers consisted of Impactor (the leader), Roadbuster, Whirl, Twin-Twist, Topspin, and Rack'n'Ruin. They were later joined by Broadside, Sandstorm, and Springer (who became the team's leader after Impactor's death). The team were set to be at the business end of [[Operation: Volcano]], killing ten of the most deadly Decepticons as they converged on a staged conference. Without [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] around to help, however, they would have been massacred soon after and they came close to backing out, only to decide to do their duty. The Autobot [[Triple Changer]]s were sent in as a replacement.

However, when [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] called off the Decepticons' advance (truth be told, he didn't seem to know or care about it), the Wreckers' plans were also cancelled. As was Impactor's life, as one of the Decepticons, [[Macabre]], had stayed behind to kill [[Emirate]] [[Xaaron (G1)|Xaaron]], and Impactor took the 'bullet' for him. Impactor named Springer his successor as he lay dying. {{storylink|Target: 2006}}

Later, the team and Ultra Magnus were misled into trying to kill [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] upon his return to Cybertron. Decepticons had planted misinformation that Prime was in fact a Decepticon made up to ''look'' like Prime. Fortunately for the Wreckers' record, Magnus and Xaaron uncovered the truth before anyone could kill the Autobots' Greatest Leader. {{storylink|Distant Thunder!}} During his stay on Cybertron, Optimus Prime led the Wreckers on a number of fruitful raids on [[Decepticon fuel store]]s. {{storylink|Resurrection!}}

[[File:Technician wreckers legion of the lost.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.95]]
After Optimus Prime returned to Earth, [[Autobase]] in [[Kalis]] was rocked by a huge explosion caused by the venting of an active nuclear reactor. Xaaron told the Wreckers of Megatron's ancient plan to turn Cybertron into a vast mobile battle station and that Autobase was potentially built on top of the engine room. Springer led the Wreckers to try to find the entrance to the sub-terranean facility but they were unable to locate it. Upon their return Autobase was attacked by hoards of undead Transformers, including their former leader, Impactor. Once the Wreckers and Xaaron were imprisoned, [[Flame (Marvel)|Flame]] revealed himself to be behind the explosion, as well as the reanimation of the dead. Though shaken by recent events Springer managed to escape the cell, taking Impactor with him. The current Wrecker leader did enough to reawaken some sense of self in the zombified Impactor before reaching the surface, where he met Ultra Magnus and the [[Sparkabot|Sparkler Mini-Bots]]. Meanwhile, the other Wreckers had escaped and headed for the armory and, aided by a curious and vengeful Impactor, managed to reach the weapons necessary to defeat Flame's undead minions. With [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]'s assistance, the Wreckers broke through to the main control room, where Xaaron was preparing to sacrifice himself in order to reach the reactor shut down control. Under orders to leave, the Wreckers fought their way past more reanimated corpses, leaving Impactor to save Xaaron twice again, firstly by killing Flame and then entering the radioactive chamber himself to deactivate the reactor. Xaaron made it to safety and gave thanks for the bravest being he had ever met. {{storylink|Legion of the Lost!}} {{storylink|Meltdown!}}

[[File:WreckingHavoc-yourfoe.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Sandstorm and Broadside are on good terms with Galvy.]]
In [[1988]] the Wreckers were tasked to bring down [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. Both Xaaron and Springer had concerns about the mission, but deemed it necessary due to the danger posed by the future Decepticon leader. The team transported through an unstable dimensional portal, unwittingly landing in a small mid-western town, to be confronted not only by Galvatron but also his two former lieutenants, [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]]. Unable to fight all three Decepticons as well as defend the human population, Springer managed to lure Cyclonus and Scourge away. Faced with a choice of allowing Galvatron to escape or aid their leader the Wreckers chose to help Springer. Galvatron was able to escape but the Wreckers vowed to return to finish the job. {{storylink|Wrecking Havoc}}

In an effort to reduce further risk to human life Xaaron sent an [[Advance Surveillance Unit]], consisting of Broadside, Sandstorm, and Inferno, to set up a reconnaissance base. Though their primary mission was to observe and not interfere, the two Wreckers and Inferno could not help but go to the aid of a local town when a [[Firebug (G1)|Firebug]] crash landed nearby and started multiple blazes. {{storylink|Firebug!}}

[[File:Megatron wreckers time wars.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|The Wreckers look on as Megatron goes Dreamwave on them.]]
The unit tracked Galvatron as he stockpiled equipment and supplies, and discovered his subterranean base. With space and time [[time rift|ripping themselves apart]] due to the future Decepticon's presence, Xaaron sent reinforcements in the shape of a Decepticon [[Decepticon heavy transport|spacecraft]] carrying the rest of the Wreckers and the [[Mayhem Attack Squad]], who had formed a crisis alliance. The two teams made their way to Galvatron's unguarded base and were able to walk straight in. Unfortunately Galvatron had formed his own alliance with [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] (or at least, [[Straxus (G1)|his clone]]) and they attacked the two elite squads, who quickly began to fall beneath the might of the crazed duo. Topspin was one of the first to fall, victim of Megatron's [[fusion cannon]]. Cracks soon showed in the alliance as Springer and [[Carnivac (G1)|Carnivac]] almost came to blows, blaming each other for the disastrous plan. They were interrupted by Scourge and [[Ravage (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ravage]], who had also allied themselves to Galvatron. Fortunately Springer was able to sow seeds of doubt about the cause of the space/time rift in Scourge's mind, distracting him. Springer then jumped him while Ravage was taken out by Carnivac. The Wreckers leader sounded the retreat and Carnivac reluctantly ordered his Mayhems to do the same.

[[File:TimeWars-frakamm.jpg|thumb|GET OUT OF MY WAY!]]
The teams re-grouped at the Decepticon ship with Galvatron and Megatron hot on their heels. Galvatron announced his arrival by destroying Sandstorm with his [[Particle cannon]]. An enraged Roadbuster fetched an experimental [[Pathblaster]] and managed to blow half of Galvatron's face off. However the weapon was unstable and exploded, killing Roadbuster before he could use it again. Galvatron was only further madenned by his injury, ripping off Twin Twist's head and blasting Rack'n'Ruin. The remaining Wreckers were only saved by the arrival of reinforcements of Autobots and Decepticons from both the future and present day. With most of their members offline and the rest injured, the Wreckers did not play any further part in the battle. {{storylink|Time Wars}}

After the Time Wars, the few survivors (Springer, Broadside and Inferno) joined with other "outsiders"—both Autobot and Decepticon. The Decepticon ship they had used to reach Earth was stolen by Megatron and they were seemingly abandoned by High Command. With these new circumstances they ceased to use the Wreckers title and formed part of the (aptly named) [[Survivors]]. {{storylink|Survivors!}}

[[File:Rodimus technobots wreckers peace.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66||...have granted me the right to join two Cybertronians in holy matrimony. You sure about your best man Magnus?]]
In an alternate future of [[2510]], the Wreckers killed the last Decepticon in battle, signifying the end of the [[Great War (G1)|war]]. Upon learning this news, [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodimus Prime]] called together his warriors at Autobase to announce that he was stepping down as Autobot leader and selected Springer as his replacement. [[Triton]], a Decepticon double agent who had infiltrated the ranks of the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]], sought to sow dissent in the Autobot ranks and questioned Rodimus's choice, suggesting that Ultra Magnus would make a better leader.

The resulting argument quickly escalated when [[Scattershot (G1)|Scattershot]] shot Roadbuster, blowing his head clean off. Sandstorm retaliated by killing Triton and soon the Autobots had split into factions fighting a whole new war, to Rodimus Prime's great despair. {{storylink|Peace}}

*Both Roadbuster and Whirl were absent during the Flame incident and initial Galvatron mission. Roadbuster reappears and dies during the Time Wars but Whirl is never seen again. As Springer states that the rest of the Wreckers are with him on the Decepticon heavy transport ship, this may indicate that Whirl either left the Wreckers or was killed in action.
*Dialogue in "[[Firebug!]]" suggests Inferno was not a Wrecker at this point. Later, in "[[Survivors!]]" and an [[Transformers Annual 1991|annual bio]], he was considered an ex-Wrecker. There is no indication of when he joined, most likely prior to "[[Time Wars]]".

=====''Regeneration One''=====
{{NoteRG1}}
[[File:Wreckers loose ends.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8| [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]? What Great War? Sorry, must have missed the call to arms. Did you make a mess?]]
Twenty-one years after the battle of [[Klo]], Springer led a team of soldiers known as the Wreckers. Loosely under the jurisdiction of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]], the Wreckers were apparently separate from the standard [[Cybertronian Civil Defense]] rank-and-file. They stopped a terrorist act on Cybertron and later accompanied [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Kup]] to visit planets affected by the Great War. On their first stop, Earth, they discovered it had been devastated some time ago. Before they had chance to fully take in the devastation their ship was promptly blown out of the sky by Megatron. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 1}}

[[File:Wreckers loose ends 2.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.6]]
The unit managed to bail out of the ship in escape pods, crash landing on Earth. Somewhat battered, the Wreckers had little chance to fully take stock before Whirl delivered the news that reanimated Decepticons were on their way. Heading out Springer decided to try to contact Cybertron and aid the safe approach of reinforcements. Leaving the injured at a safe distance the remaining Wreckers attempted to reach the [[Deep Space Network]] at [[Goldstone]]. Sandstorm, Roadbuster and Leadfoot tried to keep the zombie Decepticons distracted while Kup, Springer and Whirl made a dash for the transmitter. The former trio were not totally successful so Kup turned to assist to allow his teammates to send the message. Unfortunately he was taken by surprise by [[Skywarp (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Skywarp]], knocked unconscious and quickly taken to Megatron. Meanwhile, a group of human survivors stumbled across Rack'n'Ruin and the injured Wreckers. Assuming the worst the humans attempted to flee, Rack'n'Ruin tried to go after them but was held off by [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Circuit Smasher]] {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 2}}

Though initially distrustful, Circuit Smasher eventually allied himself with the Wreckers and explained how human interference with the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] had led to the reactivation of Megatron. Somehow the Decepticon leader managed to turn the planet's defenses on itself, reactivated his fallen warriors and in a matter of hours had all but wiped out the Earth. Circuit Smasher took the Wreckers to meet [[G.B. Blackrock]], who told them that the Ark should be their key target as it formed the basis of Megatron's technology and defensive capabilities. However, before they could make any specific plans their meeting was interrupted by a call from Megatron, who informed them that he had given Kup [[Scraplet]]s. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 3}}

[[File:Wreckers loose ends 4.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Springer once again split the Wreckers. While he, Sandstorm and Whirl went to meet Megatron the remaining bots and their human allies would assault the Ark. Both teams took heavy fire, Springer's squad were soon grounded by weight of numbers and the others got past the first wave of Ark defenses only to face a troupe of [[Guardian (Marvel)|Guardian Units]]. Megatron was about to execute Springer when Optimus Prime arrived with reinforcements, the distraction allowing the zombie Starscream to tell Kup to kill [[Ratchet (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ratchet]]. {{storylink| Loose Ends, Part 4}}

Prime demanded the Megatron let Springer go. However the Decepticon leader merely goaded his nemesis by glibly blasting Springer's head off at point blank range. Blinded with rage Prime attacked, leading Megatron to reveal that he had programmed [[Aunty|Auntie]], the Ark's computer, to launch every missile on the planet once their battle was done. At the Ark the Wreckers kept the Guardians busy so that Circuit Smasher could deal with Auntie. Kup managed to arm himself and make his way to Megatron's [[battle sled]] to kill Ratchet and with him Megatron, with whom the medic had become fused both in body and mind. Considering it a mercy killing Kup shot Ratchet, giving Prime the chance he needed to rip out Megatron's [[Spark]]. Fortunately by this time Circuit Smasher had deactivated Auntie and the planet was saved from further destruction. {{storylink| Loose Ends, Part 5}}

[[File:Kup fang destiny.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.9]]
In addition to Springer's death, [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]] and [[Leadfoot (G2)|Leadfoot]] were left in critical condition because of their injuries. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part One}} After returning to Cybertron, {{storylink| Natural Selection, Part Five}} the Wreckers acted as a security force for [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]]. When a group of Neo-Decepticons led by [[Fang]] blockaded the bridge [[Auto-artery RG1]], Kup led the Wreckers to detain them. When Kup started to come to blows with Fang, Roadbuster pulled him aside, suggesting they do things the way Springer would have, going so far as suggesting that Kup ''himself'' was making things worse by giving the populace something to hate. As they argued, two Cybertronians tried to sneak past the blockade, attacking Fang, causing a fight to break out. {{storylink| Destiny, Part Two}}

[[File:Wreckers destiny.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8]]
The Wreckers' next foray into action came in the form of a raid. Remotely coordinated by Ultra Magnus, they raided [[Fort Scyk]] in order to apprehend [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] and his Neo-Decepticons. However, having anticipated this, the Decepticons had abandoned the place and wired it to explode. Unsurprisingly, all of the Wreckers survived virtually unscathed, and Kup proceeded to report in to Magnus on the situation. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Three}}

When [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] launched an all out attack on Cybertron, Kup tried to convince [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prowl]] to let the Wreckers take the front lines. Prowl refused, saying that the Wreckers needed to be applied strategically, he just didn't know ''where''. This frustrated Kup. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Four}}

The Wreckers were eventually dispatched aboard a ship to infiltrate Bludgeon's base of operations, the [[Warworld]]. However Bludgeon was fully aware of their presence, slaughtering them with his mastery of [[Metallikato]]. As the Wreckers tried to stand against him, Kup escaped to destroy the reservoir of Matrix energy powering the Warworld, but Bludgeon, having swiftly defeated all of the other Wreckers, pursued him. After catching him, Bludgeon proceeded to beat Kup to within an inch of his life, and the old-timer was only saved by the arrival of the newly christened [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodimus Prime]]. As the new Prime soundly defeated Bludgeon and disabled the ship, Kup, along with his fellow Wreckers and Rodimus fled the ship as it was destroyed. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Five}}

[[File:Wreckers war to end all wars.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.8]]
When a more successful attack against the Autobots was launched by [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]], and Rodimus, along with a good number of the Autobot's forces were captured, the Wreckers (with Broadside now fully recovered from his wounds on Earth) carried on the fight on their own, single-handedly fending off thousands of [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronians]] while also desabalizing Jhiaxus's [[Hub (G2)|Hub Network]]. All while looking totally badass. When Rodimus and the others managed to free themselves, Autobot and Wrecker alike fled from the Hub as it began to disintegrate. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 4}}

Returning to Cybertron, the Autobots found the planet abandoned. Or so it seemed, as they were suddenly attacked by [[Shadow-leech]]es. As the Autobots held off the monsters, Perceptor came to the horrifying realisation that the Shadow-leeches were actually Cybertron's missing inhabitants, having been transformed by the [[Dark Matrix|Matrix's dark energy]]. As the Autobots' forces split up to cover multiple fronts, the Wreckers travelled to Earth to recruit their human allies. Upon successfully recruiting the humans, the Wreckers went to Nebulos, where they dispatched a rampaging [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], who had been possessed by the corrupted Matrix entity. Elsewhere, Rodimus defeated the Dark Matrix entity by sealing off their own universe from the rest of the multiverse, disconnecting them from Primus for good, causing the entity to die. However, without a connection to Primus, the Transformers' lifespans became decidedly finite, and over the eons all of the remaining Autobots and Decepticons, including the Wreckers, eventually died out from old age. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 5}}

When [[Punch (G1)|Punch]] had brought the news that [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] sought to reactivate [[Project Dreadnought]], he requested a dedicated wrecking crew from Ultra Magnus. Walking in at roughly the same time, Impactor and Roadbuster had a wave of inspiration. Rallying together some heavy-hitters, Impactor later retrieved Punch and introduced him to the Wreckers. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 3|Secrets & Lies #3}}

[[File:Wreckers punch terrorcons secrets and lies.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.7]]
For their first mission as a team, the Wreckers deployed to the nerve centre of Project Dreadnought and split up to their designated holding positions until Impactor could think of an appropriate signal. When they encountered the [[combiner]] [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], left by Straxus to defend the site, he coined the phrase "Wreckers! ''um''... wreck... ...and rule!" and the team went to work with Topspin and Twin Twist heading underground while the others battled the gestalt. After Rack'n'Ruin managed to take Abominus down with a [[Hammer (weapon)|hammer]] to the face, Impactor and the others piled into battle with the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] and [[Sinnertwin (G1)|Sinnertwin]] managed to bite off Impactor's hand while he was holding a [[harpoon]] gun, which went badly for Sinnertwin. This bought the Jumpstarters enough time to lay enough explosives to demolish the control centre, and the Wreckers returned to base victorious. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 4|Secrets & Lies #4}}

{{quote|'''Wreck and Rule!''' The battle cry has echoed down through the centuries... They were an elite group of AUTOBOT warriors during the Great War. Now they are a balance of MAXIMAL and PREDACON, AUTOBOT and DECEPTICON, gathered together as their race's last great hope for survival. In a universe torn asunder by chaos and fire, they are the chosen few who will stand against an evil that threatens to consume all things. They are the light amidst a growing darkness. They are '''The Wreckers.'''|Wreckers packaging blurb|[[BotCon 2001]] and [[BotCon 2002|2002]] toys.|noquote=true}}

After the end of the war, the [[Maximal High Council]] called the Wreckers back into service to protect the fragile peace that existed between [[Maximal]] and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]. They were originally stationed in Delta Three within the [[Wrecker Command Base]], but would eventually relocate to Delta Five {{storylink|Apelinq's War Journals}} on the far side of Cybertron. {{storylink|Departure}} The war veteran and gifted engineer Apelinq was assigned to be a squad commander of this new iteration of the legendary Autobot strike force, and several of his former comrades were also drafted. [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]] was also added to the ranks of the Wreckers in a commanding role. {{storylink|Disclosure|Apelinq's extended profile}} By 316 A.U., there were at least seven Wrecker Squadrons. {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1}}

All but Rodimus and Apelinq were lost to [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon forces]] and its [[transformation virus]]; by the time the foe was identified, many of the Wreckers had already fallen and Rodimus took the remainders bar Apelinq in a last-ditch strike in 316.247 AU. Rodimus' Matrix history left him immune to the virus and meant Apelinq could develop an inoculant, and meant they had a chance to find and save any survivors. Luckily, their depleted ranks were filled when a new horde of battle-hardened survivors—some brought by [[Primal Prime]] from the time-lost [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]]—surfaced in [[Polyhex]]. Around this time is when the team relocated from Delta Three to Delta Five, and Prime himself took command after an incident that sent Apelinq back in time. {{storylink|Apelinq's War Journals}} Apelinq eventually made it back via his own devices. In this troubled time, [[Decepticon]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] were also accepted into their ranks, including the Great War veterans [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]. {{storylink|Departure}}

[[Cryotek (RID)|Cryotek]] and the [[Quintesson]]s plotted to exploit this: the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]] [[shell program]] was placed on [[Vector Sigma]], allowing them to give false commands to any survivors and have Cybertron turned [[technorganic]], easier to conquer. Cyclonus was secretly working for them! {{storylink|Betrayal}} {{storylink|Disclosure}} (The technorganic shift was, in fact, part of [[Primus]]'s plan) {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}} The Wreckers were part of the many groups conned, sent off on a quest that would require fighting their way through the [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] guards at [[Shuttle Complex Ohm]]. A staggered batch of reinforcements turned a likely trap into victory {{storylink|Departure}} to the annoyance of the enemy conspirators, but Cyclonus successfully bombed their ship in secret to impair them.

Five Wreckers died because of [[Packrat]] cowardly sacrificing them. This contributed to growing tension in the team. They made it to [[Archa Nine]], home of the [[Divine Light]] power source that Cryotek coveted, and the team were so focused on Packrat that they didn't see Cyclonus coming! With the power source gone, the Wreckers could pretty much just mope. {{storylink|Betrayal}} Primal Prime took them on another quest, thinking he had an Oracle vision, and they found themselves on a planet where the Quintesson [[Al-badur]] lived in exile. There, they learned of the true threat (and that ''Vector Sigma'' had sent Prime the message) and they'd need to get the hell back to Cybertron! {{storylink|Disclosure}}

[[File:Chromutated.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|"We don't ''like'' out-of-towners!" "WE PUNCH WHAT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND!!"]]
The Wreckers made it back in time to find the newly technorganic planet was facing an all-out Quintesson invasion and they joined the army in fighting back. They took the fight to Cryotek, who successfully used the Divine Light to gain access to Primus' power; luckily, his first act of demigodhood was to accidentally merge Apelinq and Primal Prime into [[Sentinel Maximus]]! {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1}} While the two leaders threw down, the rest of the Wreckers fought Cyclonus, [[Chro]], and the Sharkticons. Mid-battle, [[Tap-Out (Universe)|Tap-Out]] and Skywarp went [[Cauldron|missing]] but the Wreckers still triumphed over these other foes. In the end, Cryotek was defeated by forcing him into an extradimensional portal and the Divine Light's divine power was drained off. The cost was Rodimus' life and Sentinel Maximus being lost along with Cryotek.

The battle over, they mourned their lost comrades and went their separate ways in a new, peacetime Cybertron. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}} (Well, ''briefly'' peacetime) {{storylink|Transformers: Universe (comic)|Universe}}

When the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] were released from imprisonment in Cybertron's [[Detention Banks]], the Wreckers responded in kind.

{{quote|They give the Autobots something to ''believe in!'' And it's all thanks to [[Ironfist (G1)|you]]. Without Fisitron and his datalogs, the Wreckers would be nothing more than a bunch of ''thugs with a death wish.''|[[Verity Carlo]], "[[Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Last Stand of the Wreckers #5]]}}

[[File:Wreckersstormbringer.jpg|left|upright=1.7|thumb|The IDW Wreckers are so hardcore they don't even need a spaceship. Except for when they [[Xantium (G1)|do]].]]
The Wreckers are the Autobots who get called in when the odds of success are non-existent, but the job needs to be done anyway. The origin of the group is unknown, and for the longest time their existence was no more than a rumor, even among the ranks of their fellow Autobots. {{storylink|Zero Point}} Because of the extreme nature of their missions, the Wreckers have a low survival rate, around 38% to 42%, depending on who you ask. {{storylink|Dead Men's Boots}} All of the founding members have died (with one [[Valve|deliberately ignored exception]]), and the group's roster has gone through over eighteen iterations. Although every active member isn't always present for every mission, Springer once said Wreckers only leave the group ''for good'' in three ways: death, dementia, or dishonorable discharge. In fact, the one rule this "No Rules" team abides by is The Veto: any Wrecker can remove any other Wrecker from the roster at any time. {{storylink|Interiors}}

The Wreckers' exploits have been lionized in the eyes of the rank and file by their unofficial biographer, "[[Ironfist (G1)|Fisitron]]", and his ''[[Wreckers: Declassified]]'' datalogs. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 1|Last Stand of the Wreckers #1}} Before his death, Fisitron produced 331 datalog adventures for his heroes, cobbled together from data requests, mission reports and [[Autopedia]] bios about the Wreckers and their history. Many Autobots in the fleet subscribed to Fisitron's datalogs. They were an inspiration to the Autobots, heroes of daring exploits who never leave each other behind and always save the day... or so ''Wreckers: Declassified'' and the official line would tell them. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Last Stand of the Wreckers #5}} {{storylink|Bullets}} In reality, the ''Declassifieds'' were full of embellishments and were quite sanitised. The dirtier the war got, the dirtier the Wreckers got, and they were always ''particularly'' dirty. Before they'd gone public, at least one Decepticon was caught wandering around, gibbering about Impactor's harpoons, before killing himself. {{storylink|Zero Point}}

Among the many adventures chronicled by Fisitron were the Wreckers' battles with the [[Anguished]], an event involving Broadside and some [[Rada Mor|psychic explosives]], {{storylink|Bullets}} Impactor rescuing Xaaron from the [[Sonic Canyons]] (at which point he coined the battle cry of "Wreck and rule!", while flying a [[sky-sled]] into a drilling platform) {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|Last Stand of the Wreckers #2}} and the [[Siege of T'Muk]]. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 1|Last Stand of the Wreckers #1}} Another episode involved Impactor rescuing hostages on the verge of an event horizon. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|Last Stand of the Wreckers #2}}

[[File:RulesofDisengagement-BlackShadowvsWreckers.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|right|Oh, and remember when Black Shadow blasted us all new ones? Good times.]]
They were founded by [[Threnody]] {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 1|Sins of the Wreckers #1}} and [[Valve]] was part of his first squad. {{storylink|Zero Point}} The earliest version we've seen in action was the 11th iteration, led by Crest and consisting of Hyperion, Impactor, Valve, Piston, Rack, and at least one more member. They battled the Warriors Elite genocide specialist named [[Black Shadow (G1)|Black Shadow]], and three Wreckers died in combat, including their leader Crest and Piston. {{storylink|Rules of Disengagement (issue)|Rules of Disengagement}} Hyperion, a known former Wreckers leader, likely succeeded Crest as commander.

The roster continued to evolve, as Hyperion stepped down for reasons unknown, and Impactor went on to become the team's longest serving member and leader. The last surviving founding member, Valve, abandoned the Autobot cause and joined up with the Decepticons. He was responsible for founding and leading the Wreckers' opposite number, [[Squadron X]]. His betrayal cut so deep that the Wreckers collectively refuse to acknowledge his history with the group. {{storylink|Zero Point}} The reason for Valve's betrayal hasn't been explained, although considering that around this time the Wreckers recruited Whirl (a loose cannon indirectly responsible for the death of Valve's brothers, [[Wheelarch]] and [[Springarm]]), one could make an educated guess.

[[File:RequiemoftheWreckers WreckersWelcome.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5|WELCOME TO DIE!]]
Following the battle of [[Sherma Bridge]] and after the public became aware of the Wreckers' existence, Impactor recruited Springer into the 17th iteration of the team. {{storylink|Transformers: Requiem of the Wreckers|Requiem of the Wreckers}} Springer rose quickly in the ranks, becoming Impactor's first officer and nicknamed "his little green circuit booster" after his knack for rallying the team's spirits. Unfortunately, the horrors of war began to weigh on Springer, as he saw the Wreckers straying further and further from the [[Autobot Code]]. He ignored the "slips" for some time, then began telling himself at least he was making sure (increasingly fewer) Decepticons were still alive in incredible pain or buried rather than being dead, and then he began saying that at least it wasn't ''him'' brutalising prisoners; but as Impactor's hatred of Squadron X became more bittered and obsessive, Springer's resolve began to shake. A watching Prowl began waiting hundreds of years for an excuse to bring them in. And eventually, the Wreckers began to outright ignore threats, even as grim as the [[Black Epoch]] and the ongoing [[Simanzi Massacre]], so they could continue tracking Squadron X. {{storylink|Zero Point}}

After Springer was recruited, another Wrecker named Blocker succumbed to dementia and began cannibalizing his best friend. He was removed from the roster and replaced by Sandstorm. {{storylink|Zero Point}}

[[File:LastStandoftheWreckers4-triumphoverevil.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.8|TEAM WIPE!]]
Twenty years before the [[Surge (event)|Surge]], the vendetta between Impactor and Squadron X came to an end on the neutral planet of [[Pova]]. The roster by this time included Springer, Roadbuster, Sandstorm, Whirl, Broadside, and the now conjoined Rack'n'Ruin. After being pursued across nine star systems, Squadron X was caught off-guard refueling their ship, the ''[[Pale Fire]]''. A battle ensued, and Impactor made the winning move by shooting through trapped Springer's back, taking the Squadron by surprise. The entire roster was captured and fitted with inhibitor claws by the Wreckers. Impactor proudly called in his catch to [[Autobot High Command]], but [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] told him the unthinkable: they had to let Squadron X go. A non-interference pact made with the Povans made the capture illegal and a potential political nightmare, so Prowl ordered Impactor to release the Decepticons. Instead, Impactor took Roadbuster's gun and put himself in a room with the prisoners, executing each of them one at a time with a bullet through the brain module. Springer was nearly crippled by injuries he suffered during the fight, but as he dragged himself over to room, he saw Impactor standing over the bodies. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Last Stand of the Wreckers #5}}

Springer reported his superior officer to High Command, and Impactor was arrested under the [[Tyrest Accord]] for violating the Autobot Code and killing helpless prisoners. At the [[Aequitas]] trials, Springer's testimony sank any chances Impactor had of release, and he was sentenced to [[Garrus-9]]. A cover story was released that Impactor had been locked away for selling circuit boosters to the [[Chomskian]]s. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|Last Stand of the Wreckers #2}}

[[File:Animals-RadarGatoraider.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|left|"FINISH HIM!"]]
Springer became the Wrecker leader after Impactor's arrest. He'd been asked to by the other Wreckers and thought that he could correct their increasingly immoral course; what he didn't know was that the other members were trying to cover up their collusion with Impactor's murders. They lavished praise on Springer in the hopes that he wouldn't demand they be prosecuted, too, and the hoodwinked Springer gave such a clear, unambiguous witness statement to the guilt-reading [[Aequitas]] that none of the others had to be plugged in to give an account. {{storylink|Zero Point}} Some time after Springer took command, Rack'n'Ruin died. {{storylink|Dead Men's Boots}} Despite the change in leadership, the Wreckers continued to operate in a brutal capacity, maintaining their fearsome reputation among Decepticons. In a particularly-violent raid on a squad led by [[Krok (G1)|Krok]], Roadbuster- high on [[Syk]], tore out [[Radar]]'s spine and made him ''eat it''. {{storylink|Animals}}

Decades later, the Wreckers were assigned to [[Varas Centralus]] after the Decepticon [[Infiltration protocol|infiltration unit]] on that planet went to [[Phase Sixer|Phase Six]]. They were pulled out and sent back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] at the order of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] when the Autobot leader suspected that [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] might have been behind the disappearance of the [[Calabi-Yau]]. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 2|Stormbringer #2}} The Wreckers arrived just in time to save [[Nosecone (G1)|Nosecone]] and [[Afterburner (G1)|Afterburner]]. They then proceeded to take [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s team apart without breaking a sweat. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 3|Stormbringer #3}} Thunderwing was ''slightly'' more challenging, but the Wreckers suffered no apparent casualties. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4|Stormbringer #4}}

[[File:SpotlightSideswipe ThunderwingVSWreckers.jpg|right|upright=1.8|thumb|''-10... -10... -10... -10... -10... -10... -10... -10... -10... -10...'']]
When Thunderwing popped up again guarding a cave on [[Corata-Vaz]], Optimus Prime sent for the team once again. {{storylink|Spotlight: Cyclonus}} While they did not succeed in stopping Thunderwing themselves, they managed to survive until he was rendered inert by [[Jetfire (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Jetfire]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

Sometime later, some of the Wreckers were captured by the Decepticons. They were rescued by the remaining Wreckers, now led by [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Kup]], [[Perceptor (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Perceptor]], and [[Drift (G1)|Drift]], who was acting independently. After this, Kup decided to form a new team that included Wreckers [[Springer (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Springer]] and [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Drift}}

[[File:LastStandoftheWreckers1-newrecruits.jpg|thumb|upright=1.45|left|"What's your name, soldier?" "Parts, sir! Private Parts!"]]
After the great push by Megatron, Kup and Perceptor were made into Wreckers, with Ultra Magnus and [[Verity Carlo]] providing them with transport. Springer began to rebuild the Wreckers, compiling a list of potential recruits and sending them to Prowl for approval. Prowl substituted [[Ironfist (G1)|Ironfist]] in over Springer's choice of [[Skyfall (G1)|Skyfall]], but the other picks were given the green light. {{storylink|Out of Bullets}} Along with Ironfist, Wrecker reservists [[Guzzle (G1)|Guzzle]], [[Pyro (G1)|Pyro]], and [[Rotorstorm (G1)|Rotorstorm]] were added to the roster. Springer was becoming weary of assembling these teams, only to see them blown apart.

The first mission by the new team was to travel to [[Garrus-9]] and bring it back under Autobot control. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 1|Last Stand of the Wreckers #1}} After the arrival of a battered Impactor, however, they discovered that the sociopathic [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] had seized control of the facility and the whole place had gone mental. A report from Prowl also stated they needed to find "[[Aequitas]]". Splitting into two teams, the Wreckers made planetfall {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|Last Stand of the Wreckers #2}} and soon became separated from each other. Perceptor's team were tasked to find Aequitas, but Springer abruptly changed strategy and split his group into two: one to find the prisoners, the other to "get help" from a maximum security cell. Perceptor's team succeeded—albeit with the loss of Rotorstorm to Overlord—but Springer, Impactor and Twin Twist were captured. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 3|Last Stand of the Wreckers #3}}

[[File:LastStandoftheWreckers5- Ironfist Perceptor Verity.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|right]]
Topspin willingly sacrificed himself to activate Aequitas, simultaneously killing Twin Twist due to their branched spark. Kup and Guzzle failed to find the help they were looking for, but managed to save Springer and Impactor from death by torture. As Springer's team faced down Overlord himself, the other Wreckers finished their mission by downloading Aequitas's data into Ironfist. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 4|Last Stand of the Wreckers #4}} Perceptor's group then went to aid the others in the battle against Overlord, with Pyro sacrificing himself in the process. Overlord effortlessly defeated most of the remaining Wreckers, but was eventually taken down thanks to Ironfist's connection to Aequitas. Garrus-9 was liberated, and miraculously, no further Wreckers had been killed in the fight with Overlord... though Springer was in a critical condition and Ironfist succumbed to a workplace injury and died on the way home. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Last Stand of the Wreckers #5}}

Convinced that their leader, Springer, was a goner, Whirl used Roadbuster's [[Sparkeater (weapon)|Sparkeater]] to attempt to euthanize Springer. Instead he was caught in the act by Roadbuster and kicked out of the Wreckers. {{storylink|Interiors}} [[Rung (G1)|Rung]] later suggested to Roadbuster that reading something emotional could reactivate the leader of the Wreckers, so Roadbuster read datalogs from the ''Wreckers: Declassified'', to no avail. However, after Roadbuster confessed to Springer what the other Wreckers felt about what Impactor did, and called Springer their best leader, the comatose Autobot began showing signs of life. {{storylink|Zero Point}}

Pardoned after Garrus-9, Impactor continued to wreck with Guzzle. The latter became increasingly blood-thirsty and large, and even Impactor, who'd made progress on giving up his overly violent ways, succumbed again.{{storylink|Escape (G1)|Escape}}

[[File:Sins of the Wreckers2-everybody's unhappy.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Ha, you expected that cool splash of the group from ''Sins'' #1? Tough luck, buster, you get a more accurate depiction of the Wreckers!]]
Five years after Garrus-9, Prowl was abducted by the insane [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] and to get him back, a rejuvenated Springer assembled a new Wreckers team out of old guys and whoever happened to be around. For most members, this was more about keeping Prowl's secrets like the Aequitas data out of the public eye. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 1|Sins of the Wreckers #1}} In true Wreckers fashion, this went horribly wrong for most people involved and the team were rapidly faced with their own psychological issues: Kup learning how he'd killed Autobots while mad, Guzzle in constant battle fury, and Roadbuster proving still willing to torture. Backing Tarantulas up were [[Mayhem Attack Squad|Mayhem]], whose leader [[Carnivac (G1)|Carnivac]] felt Springer should be with them. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 2|Sins of the Wreckers #2}} Half the team invaded the [[Noisemaze (dimension)|Noisemaze]] to reach [[Tor|Tarantulas' base]] and were immediately defeated by its maddening environment, with the exception of Verity (human) and the frequency-blocking Hubcap. The latter was then seen with Tarantulas, while Springer, Arcee, and Roadbuster were plugged into the guilt-extracting [[Impetus]] to relive their worst sins.

Impactor and Kup, meanwhile, had gone back to Debris: Impactor knew a little about the Noisemaze and had a 'backdoor' to it buried under his own in-waiting grave! {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 3|Sins of the Wreckers #3}}

While in Impetus, Roadbuster relived the [[Roadbuster affair]], where he killed his assigned cadets in the name of [[Mortilus]], who spoke to him as a voice in his head. In reality, the voice was Tarantulas, shrunken down to a tiny size to whisper in his ear. One surviving cadet was Hubcap, who was incensed that Roadbuster served minimal time for his crimes, and fell in with Tarantulas to help punish those responsible, including Prowl. Verity revealed she is dying due to exposure from Aequitas' radiation and blackmailed Prowl as a cry for help. Impactor, Guzzle and Kup used a space portal to drag ''Debris'' into the Noisemaze and collapse it, while rescuing their comrades. Inside, they battled the Mayhems, including Tidal Wave. Hubcap had a change of heart and freed the captive Wreckers, who attacked Tarantulas while Prowl went with Hubcap back to ''Debris''. Roadbuster smashed into Tarantulas and they both fell out a window. In the confusion, Tarantulas shrunk and buried himself inside Roadbuster's head, expanding to full size and killing him. Prowl is talked out of killing Hubcap due to his possession of the Aequitas data, just before Impactor did the deed, as the info was just too dangerous for Hubcap to possess. As the Wreckers planned to blow up the Noisemaze and destroy all of Tarantulas's inventions, the spider returned and confronted them. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 4|Sins of the Wreckers #4}}

Using mass displacement, Tarantulas grew to massive size, while shrinking the Tor itself down to pocket size so that he could safely transport the facility out of the collapsing Noisemaze. He then turned on Arcee, Verity, and Prowl, gloating over how he healed Verity's illness purely to prove his intellect to Prowl. Springer planted explosives, while sending Impactor to deliver the Obtenteum and aid the others. Impactor revealed it was not Prowl who pushed Tarantulas into the Noisemaze all those years ago, but Impactor himself. At the sound of Springer's voice crackling over Impactor's comm, Tarantulas realized that Ostaros was not dead, but was now Springer. Tarantulas forgot his vengeance and instead climbed into the pit to reunite with his child. Prowl and Verity took the Obtenteum while the others battled Tarantulas.

[[File:Sins05-guzzledies.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.25|Dementia, dishonorable discharge, death.]]
While Tidal Wave punched his way through ''Debris'', coffins spilled out and Verity was brought to tears as Ironfist's body landed right in front of her. Guzzle used his own cannon to blast himself up into the air, jamming the Obtenteum into Tidal Wave's mouth and driving him mad. This forced Carnivac to unwittingly play into the Wreckers' hands by using his Outlier power to forcibly convert Tidal Wave to whale mode. The g-forces of the giant's transformation—amplified by the Obtenteum, were the last push needed to trigger the Noisemaze's complete and irrevocable collapse. Arcee and Impactor escaped while Tarantulas leaped into the pit after Springer. Springer attacked and could no longer transmit his part of the call-and-response signal, forcing Impactor, with the utmost reluctance, to press the button to set off the explosives. Aboard the damaged ''Debris'' Guzzle threatened to kill Kup and Prowl as revenge for the deaths of his friends on [[Tsiehshi]] and Prowl's crimes. Impactor was forced to kill Guzzle to save them. Prowl ran back inside the Noisemaze before it collapsed and saved Springer's life. Kup and Arcee returned to Optimus Prime's ranks on Earth while Impactor took up Carnivac on his offer to join Mayhem, joining their crusade to bring down those in power who use 'bots like them as pawns. Back in Nome, Alaska, Verity and Springer stared up happily at the Northern Lights, enjoying the normalcy while it lasted. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 5|Sins of the Wreckers #5}}

[[File:RequiemoftheWreckers Wrookies.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.2]]
Springer and Verity lived on their own for a bit, with Springer using his time to remotely train new Wreckers cadets, but the two were soon dragged into a new plot by Carnivac and Mayhem. After learning of Impactor's terrorist actions as part of Mayhem, Springer became disillusioned again by his former commander, but the two teamed up to save the kidnapped Verity from the survived Tarantulas and Overlord. To prevent Overlord from going back in time with Tarantulas' [[Timemaze]] portal, Impactor sacrificed himself to give Springer the opportunity to defeat the Phase-Sixer once and for all. With Tarantulas also having died and Mayhem in shambles, Springer decided to use the Timemaze to travel back and attempt to rewrite history so the war would never begin. He bid farewell to Verity and sent a message to his cadets, as well as all surviving Wreckers before he left. Springer begged them to honor the Wreckers' bloodstained legacy by forgetting it and stepped through the portal with the final advice "Wreck the past, Rule your future." {{storylink|Transformers: Requiem of the Wreckers|Requiem of the Wreckers}}

====''Wings Universe''====
During the Great War, the Wreckers were Autobot elite commandos led by [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]], who served as the opposite number to [[Macabre]] and his Decepticons in [[Squadron X]]. Their long struggle came to an unexpected end when Macabre set an ambush for the Wreckers on [[Torax Prime]] which they never walked into. Instead, the various members of Squadron X slowly turned against Macabre or went completely insane waiting for the Wreckers to show up. Impactor's squad eventually came to Torax Prime only after hearing about a massive explosion, caused when [[Earthquake (G1)|Earthquake]] strapped a couple of bombs to his chest and rushed Macabre in a demonstration of his dissatisfaction with the current mission. {{storylink|Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur}}

The Wreckers' activities are largely undocumented beyond that, although centuries later, one group of Wreckers was led by [[Primal Prime]] during a [[Quintesson]] invasion. Shortly before or during [[2984]], [[Cheetor (BW)|Alpha Trizer]] recently reformed the Wreckers under Primal Prime's command and given the ship ''[[Rodimus Major]]'' to patrol distant corners of the galaxy in the name of peace (and give some of the more aggressive personalities on peacetime Cybertron an outlet). {{storylink|BotCon 2014|Primal Prime's customization class booklet}} {{storylink|Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur|Apelinq's personal logs}}

Primal Prime invited [[Flareup (G1)|Flare-Up]] to join the Wreckers, but [[Ginrai (robot)|Ginrai]] had already recruited her for the [[Cybertronian Knight]]s.

As the Knights responded with dread to an impending mandatory meditation session and lecture from Alpha Trizer, [[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]] quipped that the Wreckers had refused the assignment.

When Ginrai called a red alert for what turned out to be a space fender-bender at a [[Nebulos]] spaceport, Apelinq reported that the Wreckers were two systems away. {{storylink|Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur|Apelinq's personal logs}}

While journeying to check up on a Predacon colony near the [[Dark Nebula]], the ''Rodimus Major'' was caught in the gravity well of a wormhole anomaly. {{storylink|BotCon 2014|Primal Prime's customization class booklet}} With no hope of breaking free, Primal Prime ordered [[Fireflight (Universe Deluxe)|Fireflight]], the only Wrecker with personal FTL capability, to return at top speed to Cybertron with their logs. {{storylink|Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur|Apelinq's personal logs}}

====Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity====
When [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] and [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]] were created in [[Legends World|another dimension]], ''Transformers'' nerd [[Waspinator (Legends)|Waspinator]] identified them as Wreckers from [[#Marvel The Transformers comics|a British comic book]]. {{storylink|LG04 Roadbuster}} The two accepted this as their origin story and, after traveling to the year 2004 of the [[G1 World]], introduced themselves as Wreckers to [[Topspin (G1)|Topspin]] and [[Twin Twist (G1)|Twin Twist]]. [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] overheard their conversation and thought it was a really cool name for a team, so he founded his own Wreckers as a new Autobot unit and recruited all four of them. {{storylink|LG07 Jetfire}} {{storylink|Jumpstarter Chapter#LG-07 Jetfire Sequel|LG-07 Jetfire Sequel}} Springer's vague mission statement for the Wreckers was "doing cool stuff", but [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] thought that was stupid and instead charged them with cleaning the area around [[Mount St. Hilary]]. As a result, a disappointed Springer left the team for a few years. {{storylink|Jumpstarter Chapter#G1 Wreckers Birth Story|G1 Wreckers Birth Story}}

In the 2030s, the Wreckers traveled to the Legends World to defend it from [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] and [[Katsu Don]]. {{storylink|Jumpstarter Chapter#LG65 Twin Twist Prologue|LG65 Twin Twist Prologue}} Topspin and Twin Twist did most of the work thanks to having mastered the powers of the [[Zodiac]]. {{storylink|LG65 Targetmaster Twin Twist}} {{storylink|LG66 Targetmaster Topspin}}

After the monstrous [[Thunder Mayhem]] was created by the Decepticons and unleashed on the universe, the Wreckers took it on and were slaughtered. Only Impactor survived and swore revenge on the seemingly-unstoppable [[combiner]], which went on to completely devastate Cybertron and nearly wipe out the planet's entire population. {{storylink|Lively Pursuit}} Seeking new soldiers from the meager pool of Cybertronians left alive, Impactor traveled the galaxy and recruited Counterpunch on [[Paradron]], {{storylink|The Truth We Make}} Fractyl on [[Chicxulania]], {{storylink|Life Finds a Way}} Alpha Bravo and Offroad on [[Abrax]]as, {{storylink|Foundation and Wreckage Part 1: Deadly Aim|Deadly Aim}} and awakened a sealed-away Toxitron in the ruins of Cybertron. {{storylink|The Toxic Transformer}}

Deciding the only way to combat Thunder Mayhem was with a combiner of their own, Impactor put Fractyl to work on that project. Fractyl combined the mysterious power source [[greenergon]] with Toxitron's unique biochemistry, allowing for a comparable merger to Thunder Mayhem. After the Wreckers were all physically re-engineered, they traveled to an alien planet to test their new ability. All save Impactor merged, with the newborn gestalt dubbing himself "[[Wreckage (G1)|Wreckage]]". They were soon attacked by [[Mecannibal]]s, and Wreckage went on a rampage and began slaughtering them, then turning his bloodlust on Impactor. Only Alpha Bravo's willpower and internal horror at what they had become stopped Wreckage, forcing his disassembly. After returning to their ship, Alpha Bravo decided that Wreckage was as great a monster as Thunder Mayhem and could not be allowed to form again. He murdered his best friend Offroad and then allowed himself to be killed by Toxitron, intending that to be the end of Wreckage. The team was shaken by the betrayal and moreso when they realized Impactor had a failsafe installed in Wreckage that would kill all of them if the need arose. {{storylink|Foundation and Wreckage Part 1: Deadly Aim|Deadly Aim}}

The Wreckers returned to Cybertron and encountered Bluestreak, having fallen under the sway of the [[Teklaan]]s. Impactor managed to convince him to join them and Bluestreak chose to be reformatted into a new limb for Wreckage. With Impactor now joining the merger, Wreckage was able to form up once again and drove the Teklaans off Cybertron. The Wreckers then discovered that the [[Mayhem Attack Squad]] was on [[Earth]] and headed there next to finally confront Thunder Mayhem. {{storylink|Lively Pursuit}}

Arriving on Earth, they found [[Metalhawk (G1)|Metalhawk]]'s team of Autobot [[Pretender]]s as well as [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] himself fighting Thunder Mayhem and its new ally [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]]. {{storylink|Pandora's Gift}} The Wreckers combined into Wreckage once more and took Thunder Mayhem on, managing to finally defeat their adversary with the help of the other Autobots and [[human]] allies.

During the waning days of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], the Wreckers tried to stop an [[Underbase]]-powered [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] only to be wiped out. {{storylink|Not All Megatrons}}

[[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] mentioned he was a former Wrecker. {{storylink|Derailment}}

====2019 IDW continuity====
[[File:Wreckeridw.png|thumb|]]

Led by Thunderclash, the Wreckers were ostensibly an undercover security force for [[Colonial Security]], presenting themselves as a traveling group of daredevils to avoid suspicion. The Wreckers operated without back-up or support from Colonial Security, leaving it unclear who exactly sanctioned them. Aside from Thunderclash, the group was composed of Aileron, Hot Shot, Ricochet, medical officer Minerva and cameraman Circuit.

After nearly two megacycles out in space, the Wreckers' feed was hijacked by the terrorists [[Mayhem Attack Squad|Mayhem]] who announced their opposition to the [[Speedia 500]] and demanded that [[Velocitron]] cancel the event and give power to the proletariat. At Thunderclash's order, the ''[[Stuntmaster]]'' set course for Velocitron where, contrary to Aileron's hope for covert ops, Thunderclash publicly declared that the Wreckers would join in the race. {{storylink|Tread & Circuits Part 1}}

[[File:Tread&Circuits1 WreckersJump.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2|WRECK AND DO THE DEW!!]]
While the rest of the group scouted the top racers in hopes of finding Mayhem's operative, Circuit tracked down Mayhem only to be shot as he was relaying his position. Though his comrades found him, he was left in critical condition as the race began. {{storylink|Tread & Circuits Part 2}}

Once the Speedia 500 got underway, the Wreckers fended off Mayhem attacks, with some help from the other racers. Before they could take down [[Axer (G1)|Axer]], the local [[Security Operations]] appeared in droves and seized control of the scene, allowing the Mayhem operatives to sneak away and the [[Decepticon|Ascenticon]] racer, [[Knock Out (G1)|Knock Out]], to win the race. {{storylink|Tread & Circuits Part 3}}

Days later, the Wreckers attended the ceremonies at the Velocitronian Senate swearing in the First Senator and new delegates. As Knock Out was being sworn in, Submarauder skewered him with a harpoon gun, the Wreckers springing into action to both take down Mayhem and evacuate the civilians from the area. Though they succeeded, Minerva was caught holding the harpoon gun and arrested for attempted murder. Despite their best efforts, the Wreckers were forced to leave Minerva behind. When the medic was shown that Knock Out and Mayhem were in cahoots the entire time, she was promptly sentenced to indefinite stasis by the First Senator.

Back on the ''Stuntmaster'', the remaining Wreckers broadcast their intent to step away from the spotlight for a time, their last broadcast before Circuit passed away from his wounds. Worried about the political situation on Cybertron, but inspired by [[Leadfoot (G2)|Leadfoot]]'s enthusiasm, Thunderclash decided that the Wreckers should expand their ranks, putting out a call to trustworthy allies, both inviting them to join and help them find a [[space bridge]] back home. {{storylink|Tread & Circuits Part 4}}

====Fun Publications ''Shattered Glass'' continuity====
The Wreckers were a band of mercenaries led by [[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus]], who spent their time looting and pillaging the countryside. They approved of [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus]]'s campaign of conquest, but initially preferred to remain autonomous.

That is, until one fateful day when Optimus hired the Wreckers to fight alongside his Autobots at the battle of [[Praxus-Delta]]. The battle was brutal and resulted in every Wrecker except Rodimus meeting the fate of most Wreckers across the [[multiverse]] at the hands of the Decepticons. Rodimus impressed Optimus by remaining in the fight regardless, in order to fulfill the contract. Thanks to his efforts the Autobots escaped without further losses, and Optimus was so impressed that he offered Rodimus leadership of the [[Seeker (SG)|Seekers]], which the former Wrecker accepted. {{storylink|Rodimus (SG)#Timelines|BotCon 2008 Rodimus profile card}}

After the [[Mayhem Suppression Squad]] had successfully turned back one of the Autobots' raids, [[Side Burn (SG)|Side Burn]] reminded Prime that he ''had'' recommended reforming the Wreckers as their best counter to the Squad.

Later, when trying to convince [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] and [[Sideswipe (SG)|Sideswipe]] to leave the Decepticons and join up with one of his power-grabbing schemes, Rodimus hearkened back to what was likely the Wreckers' old motto, when he told them that they'd have "a whole planet ready to ''wreck-and-ruin''!" {{storylink|Dungeons & Dinobots}}

After an encounter with Senator [[Shockwave (SG)|Shockwave]] exposed Magnus' poor grasp on the team, Magnus removed Impactor from the group and gave them their name. At Pax's command, the Wreckers launched an attack on the [[Senate]], killing many Senators and abducting Shockwave for the [[empurata]] procedure. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 1|Shattered Glass II #1}} When the Great War broke out, [[Blaster (SG)|Blaster]] joined their ranks. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 2|Shattered Glass II #2}} After the war ended, Magnus placed Wreckers throughout Autobot society so they could keep him abreast of various developments. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 5|Shattered Glass #5}}

After the Decepticons had conquered [[Kaon (polity)|Gold City]] and Goldbug had revived [[Metroplex (SG)|Metroplex]], the Wreckers came before Optimus Prime. Recognizing that Prime would simply have the Wreckers fight all threats in his stead, the Wreckers turned on and overthrew Optimus. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 1|Shattered Glass II #1}} At Magnus' order, the Wreckers first began sabotaging the Decepticons' communications efforts. Though Blaster failed in his task, a failure for which he was promptly beheaded, the Wreckers managed to listen on Decepticon transmissions. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 2|Shattered Glass II #2}}

Via Slicer, the Wreckers managed to steal Metroplex from Goldbug, turning the Titan into their base of operations. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 3|Shattered Glass II #3}} Still plagued by self-confidence issues however, Ultra Magnus did not believe he could lead the Autobots as himself, instead conspiring to steal Optimus's body. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 5|Shattered Glass II #5}} After being repaired, Optimus was brought to Metroplex, {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 4|Shattered Glass II #4}} where his [[spark]] was extracted and placed in Magnus's body.

When [[Soundwave (SG)|Soundwave]] charged into Metroplex, alongside a defected Slicer, the Wreckers fell one-by-one before Slicer shot Magnus through the chest, seemingly ending the Wreckers. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 5|Shattered Glass II #5}}

During the [[Great War (Animated)|Great War]], the Wreckers were a major problem for the Decepticons, operating behind their lines as a commando unit. They are noted for interrupting supply lines, destroying the mainframe on [[Bk'n]], and demolishing the shipyards of [[Salvvatan VI]]. They operated from the [[Omega Sentinel (Animated)|Omega Sentinel]] ship ''[[Zeta Supreme|Xantium]]'', which was bonded to [[Impactor Major]], apparently the leader of the team. Megatron created the [[Decepticon Heavy Brigade]] specifically to hunt down the Wreckers. When they finally met in battle, [[Blackout (Animated)|Blackout]] was the only survivor on either side. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II}}

[[File:ChainOfCommand Wreckers.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|On the count of three, everybody say "Whirl sucks!"]]
The Wreckers traced their origins to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s Age of Origins, emerging as a band of roving vigilantes that protected the primitive settlements of Cybertron from marauding and pillaging groups such as the [[Vandal]]s, [[Breaker (COP)|Breakers]], and [[Ravager]]s. When the [[Quintesson]]s arrived on Cybertron, they created an official planetary police force, branding the Wreckers as outlaws. The Wreckers did not take this well, later joining [[Sentinel Zeta Prime]]'s rebellion against the invaders. When the era of colonization began, the Wreckers protected the first duplicate [[Well of All Sparks]] on the planet [[Archon]] from religious doomsday cultists. {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

During the era of the [[Functionism|caste system]], the Wreckers had become [[Autobot High Council|Council Guardians]], later siding with the Autobots in the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}} [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] and [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] were also members, though early on in the war Bulkhead left to join [[Team Prime]]. {{storylink|Con Job}} Wheeljack left when [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]] was appointed to lead the squad {{storylink|Chain of Command (Prime)|Chain of Command}} by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] with the hopes Magnus would be able to give the squad some discipline. {{storylink|Project Predacon}} The Wreckers took part in the siege of the [[Hydrax Plateau]]. Afterwards, they were all that stood between [[Devastator (WFC)|Devastator]] and the [[Tagan Heights]] before [[Defensor (WFC)|Defensor]] arrived. They guarded the [[Well of All Sparks]] when [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] descended through it to free the [[core]] of its suffocation by [[Dark Energon]]. Ultra Magnus, [[Springer (WFC)|Springer]], and other team members opted to remain behind to distract [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]] when the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'' launched, gaining invaluable allies in [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]], [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]], and [[Alpha Trion]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

After Cybertron went dark, Wheeljack traveled the stars and eventually found Bulkhead on [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Con Job}} He left shortly after their reunion and continued to search the galaxy. He eventually found [[Seaspray (Prime)|Seaspray]], but [[Dreadwing (Prime)|Dreadwing]] had found them both and promptly destroyed Seaspray's ship, killing the Wrecker. When Dreadwing made his way to Earth, Wheeljack followed to get his revenge. {{storylink|Loose Cannons}} The [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticon]] [[Hardshell]] noted that he had off-lined several Wreckers when fighting Bulkhead. {{storylink|Toxicity}} Miko was inducted as a Wrecker by Wheeljack after she off-lined Hardshell. {{storylink|Hurt}} At some point, [[Elite Guard]] graduate [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] had studied every battle the Wreckers had been involved in. {{storylink|The Human Factor}} After arriving on Earth, Ultra Magnus again attempted to instill some discipline into Bulkhead and Wheeljack, but this only led to Wheeljack temporarily quitting the team. {{storylink|Chain of Command (Prime)|Chain of Command}} The Wreckers served as a vital asset to Team Prime during the twilight days of the war, usually handling large swaths of enemies on their own {{storylink|Evolution}} and proved instrumental in securing the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'' during the final battle of the war. {{storylink|Deadlock (episode)|Deadlock}}

[[File:DOTM-Leadfoot-Topspin.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|How am I gonna stop some big, mean Mother Hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous new behind? The answer, use a gun. And if that don't work? Use more gun.]]
The Wreckers, [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]], [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]], and [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], were a trio of engineering geniuses who came to Earth aboard the Autobot spaceship ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]''. The Wreckers rarely left the secret Autobot launch facility at Cape Canaveral, partially because caring for the ship dominated their time, and partially because they were assholes. The Wreckers helped engineer the Autobots' feigned exile from Earth and assassination by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and later participated in the battle for [[Chicago]]. They proved effective, if vicious, fighters, dismantling their fair share of Decepticons (including the gargantuan [[Devcon (DOTM)|Devcon]]), challenging [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and rescuing [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] from an embarrassing situation. All three of them would continue fighting and would be among the surviving Autobots, accepting Earth as their true home. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

After the Battle of Chicago, [[Harold Attinger]] formed a secret faction of the CIA known as "[[Cemetery Wind]]" to hunt down all Transformers regardless of faction. Leadfoot was among the many casualties of the hunt, and his death was revealed to the surviving Autobots by [[Cade Yeager]]. [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] sadly took off his hat in respect for his fallen friend, and Optimus Prime vowed to kill the person responsible for Leadfoot and the other's deaths. {{storylink|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction}}

Topspin was very fortunate, as he was given sanctuary in [[Cuba]] with [[Seymour Simmons]]. He spent most of his time pestering him to go to the beach or play volleyball for fun. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

At some point, at least four Wreckers faced off against [[Scourge (ROTB)|Scourge]] and lost, the [[Terrorcon (ROTB)|Terrorcon]] leader claiming their insignias as trophies. {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts}}

:''Jetfire is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy continuity family]].''

[[File:MicronDensetsuJetfireBoxArt.jpg|upright=2|thumb|"I'm as dry as a dead dingo's donger!"]]
'''Jetfire''' is probably the best [[second-in-command]] [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] could conceivably have. Jetfire is more than a yes-man; he's the crucial link between Prime's role-necessitated distance and his troops. Though professional and businesslike, Jetfire infuses his interactions with a down-to-earth friendliness. And where Optimus Prime is cautious, Jetfire is more prone to tempered bursts of gusto and bravado. While Optimus Prime is your leader who's your leader, Jetfire is your leader who's your friend. Because of this, Jetfire is very popular among the Autobots.

Most importantly, Jetfire is one of the only Autobots who will tell Optimus Prime to his face when he thinks he's wrong. It is this trait that makes Jetfire indispensable.

Jetfire has a long-lost brother [[Overcast (Energon)|Overcast]], and while the two are quite similar in many ways, Jetfire is ''far'' more willing and eager to jump into battle than Overcast.

He has a Decepticon alter-ego, '''Sky Shadow''', which he affects when doing undercover missions. He found the name in history archives which referred to a [[Sky Shadow (Cybertron)|Sky Shadow]] from the legendary [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]]. Nobody's really sure how that works. Maybe it's that bloody [[Unicron Singularity]]'s doing.

{{bigquote|Let me tell you my personal motto: VICTORY IS MINE!|Jetfire|[[Mars (episode)|Mars]]}}

When the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Air Defense Mini-Con Team]] investigated a distress signal against [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]'s orders and fell into a trap set up by [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]], Jetfire joined Optimus Prime in rushing to their rescue. The two combined and kicked Galvatron to the sky after a short battle. Shortly after, Jetfire reprimanded the Mini-Cons for not listening to Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Armada Volume 3}}

[[File:Prehistory-Jetfire in charge.jpg|thumb|What they didn't know was that the fireworks were for indoor use.]]
Before Optimus Prime and his squad left for [[Earth]] in response to the [[Mini-Con]] signal, he left Jetfire in command of the remaining Autobot forces on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{Storylink|Prehistory}}

Much later, Optimus Prime requested Jetfire's assistance as the battle for the Mini-Cons reached a dangerous point with the discovery of the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber sword]] and the [[Skyboom (Armada)|Skyboom]] shield. As Jetfire made his way to Earth, he was followed by the Megatron loyalist [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]], who had similarly been requested by the Decepticon strategist [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]]. {{storylink|Chase (episode)|Chase}}

[[File:Arm ep25 jetfire.jpg|upright=1.35|left|thumb|{{w|Bear Behaving Badly|Wackadoo!}}]]
Thrust's arrival quickly improved Decepticon battle strategy, sending the Autobot forces on Earth into disarray. Optimus Prime himself would have been defeated if not for the timely arrival of Jetfire, who quickly defeated the surprised Decepticon air power and forced the rest into retreat. {{storylink|Tactician}}

Jetfire was quickly installed as second in command, but as everybody who had never served with him discovered, he was a very different kind of 'bot compared to the reserved Optimus Prime. Where Optimus was cautious and analytical, Jetfire was brash and headstrong to the point of recklessness, jumping into the unknown without considering the consequences. As a result, in his first major battle with the Decepticons, Jetfire decided to take all of their air forces on his own, getting himself into serious trouble. Fortunately, Optimus Prime had recovered enough from his injuries to launch a counter-attack on the Decepticons and unleash his secret weapon—the ability to [[Powerlinx]] with Jetfire, resulting in the powerful Jet Optimus. Together, they overpowered the Decepticons in short order. Afterwards, Jetfire promised that he would be more cautious in the future. {{storylink|Linkup}}

[[File:Linkup jet prime.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.35]]
During a rare moment of downtime, Jetfire had an arm wrestling competition against Smokescreen (beating his opponent several times in a row) before he decided to do his homework, and review footage of the Autobots' and Decepticons' battles on Earth. As he perused the Autobots' video files, Jetfire noticed that Sideways had sometimes acted against the Decepticons, despite having already defected to their side. He discussed this revelation with the children. They all came to the agreement that, despite the fact that it was unclear whether or not Sideways was a Decepticon, it was evident that the fiend couldn't be trusted. Later, the Autobots and Decepticons squared off on a beachfront {{storylink|Detection}} over a new mysterious [[Mini-Con storage panel]]. Optimus Prime and Jetfire once again combined into Jet Optimus to take the fight to the Decepticons. However, even Jet Optimus's power was tested by the arrival of [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]]. The giant Decepticon's sheer strength and firepower forced Jet Optimus on the backfoot, and in their shared gestalt mind, both Optimus and Jetfire were at a loss as what to do. {{storylink|Awakening (Armada)|Awakening}} Worse yet, Thrust's tactics proved effective as ever, and though Jet Optimus fled up into the sky, he found himself surrounded by enemy units. Megatron pursued the Autobots by combining with Tidal Wave, and used the Star Saber to forcibly separate Jetfire from Optimus, sending the Autobot leader plummeting. Jetfire was left unable to go after Optimus as Megatron then bombarded him with laser blasts. The Autobots only won thanks to the timely appearance of the [[Space Mini-Con Team]] and their combination into the [[Requiem Blaster (Armada)|Requiem Blaster]], which wound up in Optimus's grasp. {{storylink|Desperate}}

[[File:Awakening Jetfire.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.35]]
The Requiem Blaster was a source of argument for the Autobots, however. With this new weapon, several of them were eager to storm the Decepticon base in the hopes of ending the war. Jetfire was among those willing to take a more proactive approach to dealing with the Decepticons, though Optimus was hesitant. Before a decision could be reached, it was discovered that the Space Mini-Con Team had run away along with the kids. Though most of the Autobots went out looking for them, both Scavenger and Jetfire remained behind on monitor duty, as their vehicle modes stuck out too much in public. {{storylink|Runaway}}

[[File:The Requiem Blaster.jpg|thumb|200px]]
When the Autobots were informed by a mysterious source to meet the Decepticons in battle within a forest, Jetfire objected to them not bringing along the Requiem Blaster. Soon the Decepticons arrived to fight them, as promised... or rather, [[Starscream_(Armada)/Cartoon_continuity|Starscream]] engaged the group, wielding the Star Saber. Jetfire combined with Optimus to fight him. Their duel ended abruptly when Starscream realized that his back-up wasn't coming. Megatron had noticed the absence of the Requiem Blaster and realized it was back at the Autobots' base, where Smokescreen was guarding it, alone. The Autobots warped back to base, Jet Optimus splitting back into his two component 'bots once there. They were too late to assist Smokescreen, who nearly died valiantly trying to protect the Mini-Cons. Despite his sacrifice, Megatron took the Requiem Blaster and retreated. {{storylink|Sacrifice}}

[[File:Regeneration Jetfire.jpg|left|thumb|200px]]
But Smokescreen clung onto life, if just barely. While Red Alert went about fixing him, a proximity alarm sounded across the Autobots' base. Hot Shot and Side Swipe, eager to avenge Smokescreen, headed out to take on both Starscream and Tidal Wave. Jetfire and Optimus went after them, and combined into Jet Optimus to rescue their subordinates. Even in their combined form, they were no match for Tidal Wave... until Starscream willingly handed them the Star Saber. Tidal Wave warped away, and Starscream was taken to the Autobots' base, where he informed them that he had defected from the Decepticons. Though Jetfire was hesitant to trust him, the Autobots ultimately decided to accept Starscream into their ranks. Smokescreen was rebuilt into a new body, and the Autobots used data provided by Starscream to open a warp gate to the Moon, in order to storm the Decepticon camp.{{storylink|Regeneration (Armada)|Regeneration}}

[[File:Rescue Autobot Fire.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The attack on the Decepticon moonbase begun with the Autobots besieging Megatron's throne room. The battle then spread throughout the Decepticons' base, until the Decepticon-held Mini-Cons were located. Jetfire helped round-up the Mini-Cons, now free of Megatron's influence thanks to [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]], and queued them up so they could warp back to the Autobots' base. {{storylink|Rescue}}

[[File:Armada-Mars-Starscream and Jetfire.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.35|[[Scott McNeil|Bad Doomageddeon!]]]]
Jetfire's flight capabilities made him and Starscream the only two viable candidates for a mission to [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], where a new Mini-Con was detected. Jetfire gladly brought along both [[Comettor (Armada)|Comettor]] and the [[Skyboom (Armada)|Skyboom Shield]] Mini-Cons along for this mission, but was none too keen on being paired up with Starscream. Starscream took off ahead of him anyways, though Jetfire chose to remain on-task instead of tracking him down. When Jetfire eventually came upon him, Starscream was so wrapped up in self-pity that he refused to do as his Autobot superior ordered. Jetfire was forced to handcuff him and charge him with dereliction of duty. On the return trip to Earth, the pair discovered the object of their quest on an asteroid. They were attacked by Tidal Wave, hindering their first pass to snatch up the newly awakened [[Firebot (Armada)|Firebot]]. Starscream was able to talk Firebot into turning its weapons on the giant Decepticon, and then grabbed the Mini-Con and put him in Jetfire's storage compartment. It looked like the Autobots were home free, only for Megatron to appear in their path with the Requiem Blaster in hand. Brought into proximity for the first time, the blaster, the Skyboom Shield and the Star Saber (wielded by Starscream) resonated with one another, causing a huge flare of energy that covered Jetfire and Starscream's escape. Back on Earth, Jetfire informed the kids that he hadn't been able to bring them back a souvenir. Fortunately for them, Starscream had picked up a bejewelled rock during the mission, and left it behind for Alexis to find after he stormed off. {{storylink|Mars (episode)|Mars}}

Jetfire supervised the construction of a spaceship for the Autobots, playing the part of a drill sergeant, making sure all the others did their fair share of work. This led to him getting into an argument with Starscream, who insisted the Autobots should prioritize Megatron's destruction above all other matters. Starscream stormed off, and the rest of the Autobot continued with their labor.

[[File:Autobot Argument.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The ship was in the final stages of construction when Billy and Fred reported that they had seen Starscream "chase off" Thrust after the Decepticon had asked him to steal the Skyboom Shield. As it turns out, [[Dirt Boss (Armada)|Dirt Boss]], [[Downshift (Armada)|Downshift]], and [[Mirage (Armada)|Mirage]] were nowhere to be found just then. Accusations that Starscream had complied with Thrust's request were thrown around, but the conversation was cut short when the Decepticons attacked. Jetfire flew out to meet them, and after shooting down Cyclonus, he Powerlinxed with Optimus to take on Tidal Wave. Just as Smokescreen passed the Skyboom Shield to Jet Optimus (the Mini-Cons having been found during the battle), Starscream swooped down, grabbed it, and left with both the shield and the Star Saber in hand to rejoin the Decepticons. {{storylink|Crack (episode)|Crack}}

[[File:Crisis Battle.jpg|200px|left|thumb]]
Though Jetfire seemed in control of his emotions after Starscream's betrayal, he was as angry over it as all the other members of the Autobots team. He had Side Swipe try and hack into the Decepticons' warp gate, but they had taken additional precautions over such incursions after the Autobots' previous attack. Jetfire nonetheless continued to petition Optimus to go on the offensive against the Decepticons. Then, the Decepticons test-fired their newly built [[Hydra Cannon]] on a comet for all the world to see. Jetfire Optimus, Side Swipe, and Hot Shot were left staring in awe over the might of the Decepticons' super-weapon. {{storylink|Threaten}} Jetfire warped out into orbit to scout out the Decepticons' warship, but found himself unable to penetrate their [[Force field|electro-shield]]. After returning to base to meet with Optimus, the both of them warped back near the Decepticons' ship and combined. They then waited for the Hydra Cannon to drop its shield in preparation for its attack, and took advantage of this opening to begin a furious assault. The Decepticons emerged from the ship to ward Jet Optimus off, who split into his individual components to better deal with their numbers. Jetfire was tasked with distracting the Decepticons while Optimus attempted to retrieve the Mini-Con weapons. There were simply too many enemy units however, and Jetfire was pinned down and forced to watch as the Hydra Cannon opened fire on Earth. Optimus managed to use the power of the Matrix to intercept its destructive beam, though the intense release of energy utterly destroyed his body. While the Decepticons were distracted by the spectacle of [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|Optimus's demise]], Jetfire wrenched himself free of their grasp. He then flew about, desperate to find any sign that Optimus had somehow survived, but all he came upon was Sparkplug drifting in the space dust, clutching the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. {{storylink|Crisis (Armada)|Crisis}} As the Autobots tried to cope with the loss of their leader, Jetfire scoped out the Moon, hoping to find anything left behind by the Decepticons. The enemy team had since departed for Cybertron, however. When he returned to Autobot headquarters, Jetfire was confronted by Hot Shot, who insisted the two of them chase after the Decepticons for revenge. Jetfire dismissed his request, agitating Hot Shot further. Hot Shot's emotional outbursts continued, provoking Scavenger to beat some sense into him through some aggressive therapy. Though Alexis pleaded with Jetfire to step in, Jetfire assured her that Scavenger knew what he was doing. Sure enough, Hot Shot was eventually made to confront the reality of the Autobots' situation, and stopped fighting his teammates. Believing it would be what Optimus would have wanted, Jetfire passed on leadership of the Autobots to Hot Shot. With their morale renewed, the team redoubled their efforts to complete the ''[[Axalon (Armada)|Axalon]]''. {{storylink|Remorse}} Jetfire watched confusedly as the Mini-Cons protested Hot Shot's decision to leave the children behind while the Autobots pursued the Decepticons. Hot Shot eventually relented, and the Autobots, Mini-Cons, and children all boarded the newly completed ''Axalon'' and begun their journey to Cybertron. {{storylink|Depart}}

[[File:Remorse Autobots.jpg|200px|thumb]]
Shortly after their departure, the Autobots had to navigate the ''Axalon'' through an asteroid field. As they were about to emerged from this dangerous region, they came upon the Decepticons, who had turned their own ship around to crush their pursuers. In the battle that ensued, Jetfire dueled Thrust. The Decepticons retreated when Optimus, revived by the Mini-Cons through the Matrix, blew Megatron back with the power of his super mode. {{storylink|Miracle (episode)|Miracle}} No sooner had the Autobots welcomed their leader back than their ship was pulled through a worm hole to a dead planet, where they were menaced by a twisted clone of Optimus named [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]]. While Jetfire stayed on the ''Axalon'' with most of the Autobots, Prime ended his dark doppelgänger's threat. {{storylink|Puppet}}

[[File:Autobot Tactics.jpg|200px|left|thumb]]
By the time the Autobots had repaired the ''Axalon'' and arrived over Cybertron, the Decepticons had managed to take over the planet. Upon approaching their home planet, the Mini-Cons began acting up, and Jetfire had to combine with Optimus to persuade them from drifting off into the void. The Autobots then warped down to Cybertron, where Jetfire and Optimus were fought against Galvatron (formerly Megatron), leading his elite soldiers on the warpath. Meanwhile, a black hole appeared in the sky. The Mini-Con continued to display their mysterious powers, and helped keep the black hole at bay. {{storylink|Uprising (Armada)|Uprising}} Jetfire was sent planetside to scout out an area where the ''Axalon'' could safely land. Though it took fighting several Decepticon troopers, he eventually did so, and called Optimus and the rest of his team down from orbit. Optimus then ordered Jetfire and Side Swipe to head a full Autobot evacuation of Cybertron in preparation for Unicron's assault. {{storylink|Dash (episode)|Dash}} Jetfire was pulled away from his job to back up Hot Shot and Wheeljack who, along with Alexis, Rad, Carlos, and their Mini-Con companions, were tracking down Thrust. Though Jetfire got turned around for a while, he eventually came upon his quarry, and pulled them off of Cybertron's moon while its surface crumbled. Cybertron's satellite was then revealed to have concealed Unicron's slumbering form. The Chaos Bringer was now awakening. {{storylink|Portent}}

[[File:Jetfire Shake Hands.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The Autobots put in action a plan to force Galvatron into a situation where Optimus would have the opportunity to reason with him. After heading out to meet Galvatron's forces, Optimus combined with Jetfire and Overload to draw the Decepticon leader away from the battleground. Once they had achieved a significant distance from the rest of their forces, Jetfire separated from Optimus, and kept Tidal Wave occupied while both faction leaders were left to "negotiate." Though Galvatron eventually came around, it was only after Starscream died to convince him to do so. {{storylink|Cramp}} Jetfire attended the meeting during which the Autobots and Decepticons formed a temporary truce to combat the menace of Unicron, notably shaking hands with Tidal Wave. After their combined armada failed to deal any damage to Unicron, the Autobot/Decepticon alliance sent a scouting party to the Chaos Bringer's surface. They too failed to yield any immediate success, and had to be rescued by Jet Optimus and Galvatron. {{storylink|Alliance}} Some data was gathered during the scouting expedition, however, and once analyzed provided the Autobot/Decepticon alliance with a weakspot they could target: a small area on Unicron's neck. Jetfire and Tidal Wave helped their respective commanders infiltrate Unicron through his plasma cannon, then helped distract their gargantuan foe by attacking his vulnerable area. {{storylink|Union}} No matter how much damage they inflicted upon him, however, Unicron would regenerate his wounds. It dawned upon Jetfire that only a miracle could help them defeat Unicron at this point. {{storylink|Origin}}

[[File:Mortal Combat Hot Shot Jetfire.jpg|left|thumb|300px]]
Thankfully, a miracle wasn't needed; the team within Unicron managed to free the Mini-Con weapons that were powering him, and Unicron became inert. Hot Shot then decided to go on a solo mission to retrieve Optimus Prime from within the evil planet, but Jetfire knocked him out and went instead; he reasoned that if Unicron was still a threat, the united Cybertronian army needed Hot Shot to lead them. En route, he was joined by Cyclonus, and as Jetfire predicted, Unicron began to stir once more. Jetfire came upon the kids, their partner Mini-Cons, and the 'bots who made up the three Mini-Con weapons emerging onto Unicron's surface, and doubled back with them aboard himself. The Transformers then launched a final assault on Unicron, though it proved unnecessary; Galvatron sacrificed himself to Unicron, robbing the dark god of the hatred he needed to sustain himself. Unicron vanished from existence. Afterwards, Hot Shot, Jet Fire, and Perceptor accompanied the children back to Earth, and bid them a heartfelt goodbye before returning to Cybertron to rebuild their war-worn planet. {{storylink|Mortal Combat}}

====''Transformers Legends'' anthology====
As the Decepticons unleashed the might of the [[Hydra Cannon]] towards the Earth, Jetfire and Side Swipe left their posts to watch on in horror as the blast approached, via the Autobot base's view screen. Thankfully, Optimus had already left to thwart the energies of the weapon with those of his Matrix. {{storylink|Prime Spark (story)|Prime Spark}}

{{noteslonly}}
[[File:Cybertron City Autobots.jpg|thumb|200px]]
During the ten years since the defeat of [[Unicron]], Jetfire was upgraded into a new, more advanced body uploaded with the [[Spark of Combination]], which granted him the ability to [[Powerlinx]] with other compatible robots. Jetfire was selected by Optimus Prime to accompany him and [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]] to [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] to investigate a mysterious attack on the [[energon]] mining colony there by a group of [[Terrorcon (Energon)|mysterious bestial transformers]]. Jetfire was less than pleased when the inexperienced and immature [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]] wanted to tag along merely to satisfy his hero worship of [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]], but decided to let the youngster come along after Optimus Prime left the decision to Jetfire. After surveying the damage on Mars, Jetfire quickly destroyed a large number of [[Divebomb (Energon)|avian drones]] attacking [[Ocean City]] on Earth. {{storylink|Cybertron City (episode)|Cybertron City}}

[[File:Jetfire Blast Off.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
Soon afterward, the mining colony on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] was attacked by the same mysterious energon-eating creatures, now identified as "Terrorcons." Tasked with conducting reconnaissance, Jetfire and Kicker fought their way through dozens of the bird drones, with the gifted human playing a crucial role in their successful mission. Though the Terrorcons were once more driven back, this time around a number of them managed to escape with a substantial amount of Energon. {{storylink|Energon Stars}}

Jetfire was dispatched to Plains City in preparation for future Terrorcon attacks. The next strike happened at [[Desert City]], however, meaning Jetfire missed out on the action. {{storylink|Scorpinok (episode)|Scorpinok}}

[[File:Powerlink Ironhide.jpg|thumb|200px]]
After Ironhide acquitted himself with distinction during the mission on the Moon, Jetfire practiced Powerlinxing with the younger Autobot, who, unfortunately, could not time the sequence properly. The reason behind the attacks was (partially) revealed when the powerful [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]], commander of the Terrorcons, attacked [[Plains City]]; Energon was supposedly being gathered to revive Megatron. Jetfire arrived with the Autobot reinforcements and finally successfully Powerlinxed with Ironhide, allowing the young Autobot the honor of being the controlling component of their combined form. The Terrorcons were once more made to retreat. {{storylink|Megatron's Sword}}

[[File:Ironhide Jetfire Powerlink.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
After [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]] and [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]] joined the Terrorcons, Jetfire became vocal about his distrust of Demolishor, fearing he might follow suit. When he expressed his concerns to Optimus, the Autobot leader dismissed Jetfire's fears, stating he was confident Demolishor would remain a steadfast ally. {{storylink|The New Cybertron City}} Though the Terrorcon attacks continued, the Autobot grew more competent at defending their outposts. When a flock of [[Divebomb (Energon)|Divebomb]] drones attacked [[Lunar City]], Jetfire led them into the station's newly built automated defenses systems, and the Terrorcons were all blown to bits. {{storylink|Megatron Resurrected}}

The balance of power shifted when Megatron was resurrected, and took command of the Terrorcons. With their old foe returned, Jetfire brought back up the topic of Demolishor's loyalty to Optimus, only to be dismissed once more. Jetfire confided in Kicker that he envied the Omnicons, as they were certain of their place in a tumultuous world, filled with shifting loyalties. Then, Ocean City's alarm sounded, warning that an enemy space-bridge had materialized nearby. Jetfire was sent to investigate, but saw no one exiting the portal... He did bump into someone though: the newly revived and ghostly Starscream. Jetfire called Kicker to inform him of his encounter, only for Megatron to launch his own, unrelated assault on Ocean City. Jetfire and Ironhide combined to fight off Demolishor, who had joined back up with Megatron, as Jetfire had previously predicted. {{storylink|Megatron Raid}}

[[File:Jetfire Computer.jpg|thumb|200px]]
After Optimus informed his troops that Ocean City's security had been breached by a ghostly intruder, Jetfire suggested Optimus be accompanied by a body-guard at all times to prevent an assassination attempt. Optimus refused Jetfire's suggestion, forcing the Autobots to guard him anyways, though covertly. Optimus caught on quickly, and warped off to the Moon to confront his attacker alone. While Optimus dealt with his would-be assassin, a revived Starscream, Jetfire and the other Autobots wound up having troubles of their own defending Lunar City from Megatron. Though the Terrorcons were driven back, the newly rebuilt lunar outpost was once more reduced to ruins. {{storylink|Starscream the Mysterious Mercenary}} Jetfire's next mission took him to Asteroid City, where he and his team encountered the Decepticons' ship. The vessel's eerie similarity to Unicron put the Autobots on edge, and Jetfire was pinned down by Scorponok in the ensuing skirmish. Though skewered by the Terrorcon's tail-blade, Jetfire recovered quickly after Hot Shot, Optimus, Inferno and Ironhide forced Scorponok back. Megatron and his minions then covered their escape by detonating an energon-riddled asteroid. Jetfire later attended a meeting where Dr. Jones put forth his proposal to build [[Energon tower (technology)|energon towers]] to better defend their mining outposts. {{storylink|Battle of the Asteroid Belt}} Before the first energon tower could be fully built in Ocean City, Megatron and his troops attacked the facility. Jetfire was kept busy for most of the fight by Cyclonus, though once he was taken out, Jetfire changed his focus towards Scorponok. Scorponok was substantially more powerful than Cyclonus unfortunately, and easily batted Jetfire aside as he pushed his way towards the center of the city complex. Thankfully, the energon tower was completed and activated just in time to force the Terrorcons away. {{storylink|Energon Tower (episode)|Energon Tower}}

[[File:E12 Jetfire Lasers.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]

Jetfire was called in to [[Jungle City]] to scope out a Terrorcon attack Kicker had reported. After confirming the presence of radar-invisible Terrorcons, he regrouped with the other Autobots, and was paired up with Hot Shot to overlook Jungle City's aerial defense. Jetfire failed to protect the local energon tower from being destroyed, and the Autobots were forced to abandon Jungle City, detonating it to prevent its Energon stockpiles to fall into enemy hands. {{storylink|Crisis in Jungle City}}

[[File:Jetfire Energon.jpg|thumb|200px]]

Jetfire received word that Optimus was under attack in the ruins of Lunar City. He, Hot Shot and Inferno warped up to help him fend off the Decepticons. They were trapped in a precarious position when Scorponok unleashed the firepower of the Decepticon Mobile Fortress on their group, only to be rescued by several Omnicon survivors of Lunar City. After the Omnicons raised a hidden base from under the Lunar surface, Jetfire helped protect an energon tower while it warped in and was activated. {{storylink|Kicker Beware!}}

[[File:E14 Autobots Space.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
Kicker and Misha had Jetfire give them a lift to Desert City in order to investigate a lack of Energon output from that location's energon tower. After dropping them off, Jetfire traveled to Earth orbit, where he and a handful of Autobots formed a first line of defense against a meteor strike engineered by Megatron. They were briefly joined by Rodimus and his crew members, who aided Optimus's team by destroying one of the three artificial meteors. The other two constructs continued their encroachment upon the Earth, until the [[Energon grid (technology)|energon grid]] was successfully activated, forming a protective barrier around the planet. {{storylink|Energon Grid (episode)|Energon Grid}} Jetfire was glad that with the energon grid now online, the Autobots could let down their guard every once in a while. Optimus told his troops that he rather they stay vigilant, despite the added protection of the energon grid. Jetfire then attended a meeting where Optimus made clear his plan to go on the offensive, and travel into space to stop Unicron from being revived by their enemies. {{storylink|Rodimus Friend or Foe?}}

[[File:Detecting Energon.jpg|thumb|200px]]
Jetfire attended the launch of the ''[[Miranda II]]'' Autobot-human spacecraft. He joined the crew and was part of a space battle in the [[Asteroid belt]] to defend the [[Energon Ring]] before their journey could begin. {{storylink|Go for Unicron!}} The ''Miranda II''{{'}}s first stop took its crew through a whiteout on an uncharted planet, where it became temporarily stuck between two glaciers. Jetfire was sent out with Kicker and Ironhide to scout the area for Energon, while Inferno and Optimus tried to free their ship. As the Omnicons began uncovering the sought-after substance in a cavern, Jetfire tried to keep the rest of his team calm; they were all on-edge, thinking the Decepticons could turn up at any moment. As Jetfire told them that the odds of the Decepticons coming upon them was infinitesimally small, Demolishor and Snow Cat shot him in the back. Jetfire was left unable to fly, and had to Powerlinx with Ironhide in order to achieve lift-off. Once they had escaped out into open, Jetfire's team ran afoul of [[Cruellock|a new type of Terrorcons]]. Though Jetfire wound up being in need of repair, he and the rest of the Autobots safely made it aboard the ''Miranda II'' and escaped the planet. {{storylink|The Return of Demolishor}}

[[File:Stay Close To The Ship.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
The ''Miranda II'' crossed paths with Rodimus, who boarded the ship to discuss Unicron. Optimus, Jetfire, Rodimus, and Prowl talked privately on the matter. During their conversation, Rodimus revealed that Unicron was merely a tool, that could be used for good or evil. Optimus was nonetheless unwilling to allow the planet to reawaken, and his crew parted ways with Rodimus's. Ironhide decided to stow away on Rodimus's ship though, and when Hot Shot brought this to the rest of the crew's attention, Jetfire had a good chuckle over Ironhide's youthful exuberance. The Autobots then made their way to Unicron's body, and drove off the Decepticons' first line of defense. {{storylink|A Tale of Two Heros}} After getting Megatron's attention, the ''Miranda II'' retreated back towards the Autobots' warp gate, luring the Decepticons into following them. Jetfire helped defend the ship until they emerged from warp near Cybertron. There, the Autobots used the planet's energon grid to inflict massive damage on Unicron's body, forcing Megatron to warp his troops away, and signaling an initial victory in the Autobots' quest to bring an end to Unicron. {{storylink|Battle Stations}}

[[File:Worst Plan Ever.jpg|thumb|200px]]
Later, Jetfire was contacted by Kicker, who had met with Alpha Q in his absence and made an ally out of him. Jetfire informed Optimus that Kicker, Ironhide, Misha, and Alpha Q were heading towards Cybertron aboard Unicron's head. {{storylink|Shockblast: Rampage}} During the peace talks between Optimus, Rodimus, and Alpha Q, Jetfire traveled to Cybertron to overlook the ship graveyard left behind by the Decepticons who failed to escape past Cybertron's energon grid. {{storylink|Survival Instincts}} The energon grid had been left damaged during the escape of the Decepticon war-criminal [[Shockblast]] however, and Megatron's forces took advantage of the Autobots' weakened defenses to launch an attack. During the conflict, Jetfire tried to rescue Wing Dagger from Shockblast, but due to interference from Tidal Wave, was unable to prevent him from being crushed by a falling energon tower. {{storylink|Each One Fights...}} To make matters worse, enough energon towers had been damaged in the attack to severely cripple Cybertron's defenses. The Decepticons returned with Mirage, a rebuilt Tidal Wave, who used his enhanced speed and agility to outmaneuver Jetfire. The Terrorcons managed to breach Primus's chamber, and from within it, stole enough energon for Unicron to transform and threaten Cybertron with imminent destruction. Jetfire joined Optimus in a retaliatory strike where the Autobots managed to penetrate Unicron's outer defenses. {{storylink|Unicron Unleashed}} Jetfire dropped off Ironhide on Unicron's surface so the young 'bot could join with Optimus's party. Meanwhile, he continued to run interference outside Unicron against Megatron's Divebomb drones. {{storylink|Open Fire!}}

[[File:E26 Autobot Team.jpg|left|thumb|200px]]
The fighting that followed within Unicron led to a ''clash of positively and negatively-charged energon, which ultimately tore open a rift in space.'' Jetfire found Inferno clinging onto the Chaos-Bringer's hull for dear life, and rescued him before Unicron was pulled into the rift. Jetfire then met up with Optimus Prime and the others, and followed them through the spatial tear to chase down Megatron and Alpha Q. {{storylink|Ripped Up Space}}

[[File:Protection Jetfire Inferno.jpg|thumb|200px]]
On the other side of the rift, the Autobots found a newly created solar system; Alpha Q had succeeded in restoring the planets devoured by Unicron, and had placed Unicron's head in its center as an energon sun. The Decepticons immediately begun to target these worlds, and on [[Iron Planet]] the Autobots came to blows with Shockblast. Though Jetfire was eager to capture the Decepticon himself, Optimus had him stand back so Wing Saber could do it, and acquire some peace of mind. Afterwards, Scorponok resurfaced, brainwashed and completely loyal to Megatron. Jetfire had to rescue a confused Ironhide from being skewered by their former ally, and together they helped fend off the Terrorcons under his command. {{storylink|Protection}} Jetfire then took the ''Miranda II'' to [[Jungle Planet (Energon)|Jungle Planet]]. After having set down the ship on the pristine world, he received an alarm from Inferno, who had been left behind on Iron Planet to guard Shockblast. Jetfire linked up with Ironhide to come to Inferno's aid, though the Autobots arrived too late to prevent Megatron from infusing Inferno with Decepticon programming. {{storylink|Imprisoned Inferno}}

[[File:Jetfire Shockblast.jpg|left|thumb|200px|"Dance off, bro."]]
The Autobots began looking for Unicron's whereabouts in the void of space, only to be called back to Jungle Planet when the Decepticons found the Autobots' temporary base of operations there. The Autobots were kept from going down to the planet's surface by the Decepticons until the arrival of [[Bulkhead (Energon)|Bulkhead]], [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]], and [[Cliffjumper (Energon)|Cliffjumper]] tipped the odds in their favor. {{storylink|Jungle Planet (episode)|Jungle Planet}} Jetfire overlooked the Omnicons clearing a site to set down an energon tower on Jungle Planet until the Autobots got word from Bulkhead's team, now in space, that they were under attack. Jetfire used his shuttle mode to fly out and assist them. He linked up with Downshift to fend off the Decepticons until the energon tower could be activated. {{storylink|Bulkhead (episode)|Bulkhead}}

[[File:Inferno Autobot Fire.jpg|thumb|200px]]
Jetfire teamed up with Bulkhead to protect an energon tower as it was being warped in to [[Ocean Planet]]. Unfortunately, Mirage managed to slip past them, and sent the structure toppling over. With only one tower to spare, Inferno volunteered to act as a decoy, pretending that the Decepticon programming Megatron had previously forced into him had taken effect. Jetfire, Ironhide, and Kicker were sent to keep an eye on him as he reeled in their enemies. But the programming was more powerful than anticipated, and Inferno's began to lose control. He managed to shake off the Decepticon influence in time to save Jetfire from getting impaled by Starscream. Jetfire managed to return the favor (if barely) by retrieving Inferno's spark after his body was destroyed by the heat of the energon sun, which Starscream had sent him towards. {{storylink|Farewell Inferno}} ''Jetfire then brought the spark back to Cybertron, where Primus would be able to restore Inferno. {{storylink|Return! Our Scorponok}}''

[[File:Crash Course Jetfire.jpg|left|thumb|200px]]
Jetfire saw Hot Shot and Ironhide off through a space bridge, and wondered to himself where they were off to. His curiosity getting the better of him, he suggested he and Kicker follow the pair for a little "R&R." But by the time they made it to their destination, the duo found themselves on [[Circuit Planet|a planet]] entirely covered in roads, where the first [[Autobot Grand Prix]] had already started! Kicker jumped down to join Ironhide on the road, while Bulkhead approached Jetfire with a proposition: to make the race a little more interesting... mostly by shooting at the road! Jetfire only used blanks though, to keep things safe. {{storylink|Crash Course}}

[[File:Jetfire Optimus Escape.jpg|thumb|200px]]
After Wing Saber located Unicron's body, Jetfire and the Autobots staged an assault on the Planet-Eater, but were unable to keep Megatron from making Unicron fully operational again. Finding themselves surrounded by the enemy, the Autobots were rescued by the timely arrival of first [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]], and then Roadblock (Inferno reborn) with fleet of energon towers in tow. The towers were sent down to impale Unicron, but had no effect on the now-mobile titan. {{storylink|Omega Supreme (episode)|Omega Supreme}} Likewise, the energon grid protecting Alpha Q's planetary system failed to halt Unicron's advance towards the [[Energon Orb]] at its center. Jetfire tried to help coordinating the Autobots' offensive as Unicron reached for its head, to no avail. He was forced to call for a retreat as Unicron became whole once more. {{storylink|A Heroic Battle}}

[[File:Optimus Supreme Jetfire.jpg|left|thumb|200px]]
Jetfire, Bulkhead, and Wing Saber kept the lesser Decepticons busy outside of Unicron while the other Autobots sought to reach Megatron's throne room and disconnect him from the Planet-Eater, while the later was still dormant. The fliers later reconvened with the ''Miranda II'', where Misha gave them an update on Optimus Prime and Kicker's teams, then fighting a Unicron-empowered Shockblast and retrieving Alpha Q's body respectively. {{storylink|The Power of Unicron}} Jetfire rejoined Optimus Supreme in Blizzard Planet's orbit to inform his leader that Unicron was back online (despite Optimus having witnessed first-hand the giant punching down onto Blizzard Planet's surface). He then joined in an effort to stop Unicron from obliterating Blizzard Planet, fully aware of the insanity of the situation. The Autobots failed to save the planet, were all left badly damaged by the encounter, and had to be brought to the Autobots' infirmary.

[[File:Energon-Autobot-Redecos.jpg|thumb|250px|He's brighter than Ironhide, at least.]]
After being repaired and against orders, Jetfire joined Optimus in fighting Unicron before he could reach another world. He fared little better this time around and Circuit planet was the next sphere to fall. Then, the power of Primus reached the Autobots, repairing Jetfire and reformatting his body, while growing Optimus Supreme to gargantuan proportions so he could fight Unicron on an even playing field. {{storylink|Optimus Supreme}} Jetfire and the others maintained strafing assaults against Unicron as Optimus Supreme grappled with him directly and Kicker assembled the energon towers for a powerful strike. With the towers, the power of Primus, and the teamwork of the Optimus Supreme combination, Unicron's body was finally destroyed. {{storylink|Unicron Perishes}}

Optimus suffered serious injuries after overtaxing his capabilities in battle, and so Jetfire and the others watched over him in stasis on [[Ocean Planet]]. When Megatron resurfaced on Cybertron, however, Rodimus gathered the crew of the ''Miranda II'' to return to Cybertron. He ordered Roadblock and Jetfire to remain behind on Ocean Planet and watch over Alpha Q's worlds in their absence. When he learned that Optimus had abandoned the sick bay, he tracked him down beyond a warp gate. Though Optimus had yet to fully recover, he insisted he travel to Cybertron, having sensed his home-world was in danger. Jetfire was unable to dissuade him, and both Autobots went pressed onward through the space bridge. {{storylink|Ambition}} The Autobots arrived on Cybertron and battled the newly enhanced Galvatron until clouds of Autobot-killing energon gas were released into the atmosphere. Optimus collapsed under its effect, but Jetfire retrieved his leader before his lifeforce could be extinguished. The Decepticons then proceeded to unleash the gas all over Cybertron, forcing the Autobots to retreat off-planet. {{storylink|Wishes}}

The ''Miranda II'' moved to the upper atmosphere, where the Autobots prepared to drop Kicker and the [[Omnicon]]s (who were immune to the energon gas flooding the planet) down to the world below. Galvatron and the Decepticons attacked, and Jetfire fought to delay them long enough for [[Cliffjumper (Energon)|Cliffjumper]] to get the ''Miranda II'' into position for the drop. {{storylink|Galvatron!}} As Optimus led a team through the opening in the energon gas created by Kicker's infiltrators, Jetfire remained in space under Rodimus's command as part of a backup team. {{storylink|Break Through}}

[[File:Distribution Jetfire.jpg|200px|thumb]]
At some point, in the Autobot combat training simulation, Jetfire and Ironhide teamed up for the tournament. They defeated Scorponok in an extended battle, but fell before some cheap tricks when [[Six Shot (Energon)|Six Shot]] manipulated the digital environment against them. {{storylink|Distribution}}

[[File:Roadblock-Jetfire-Formidable.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2]]
As Cybertron began moving through space towards the warpgate for Alpha Q's worlds, Rodimus and his crew attempted to gather enough space debris to slow it down. Jetfire complained that this was an exercise in futility, as their makeshift barrier stood no chance of halting an entire planet's progress. Rodimus admitted that they had little chance of succeeding, but explained that he hoped to at least distract Galvatron somewhat, to give Optimus and his soldiers on the planet a better fighting chance. But Six Shot had modified an energon tower into a planetary laser, which blasted cleanly through their defenses before Cybertron even neared the barrier. {{storylink|The Omega Train}} After Cybertron was forced through a spacebridge, Jetfire was injured, and Rodimus sent him back to Ocean Planet for repairs with Landmine. {{storylink|Decepticon Army}} Before he was fully recovered, Jetfire took off from his sickbed to help the Autobots in stopping Cybertron from slamming into Plains Planet; Six Shot had engineered a crude planetary propulsion system for the world. As he neared his destination, he crossed paths with Ironhide, and the pair combined. With additional help from the rest of the Autobot team, they destroyed the energon towers that were being used to accelerate the planet towards its destination. {{storylink|Formidable}}

Jetfire returned to Primus's chamber. From there, he learned that Sally had managed to infiltrate the Decepticons' base by herself, and that Galvatron was once more headed for the super energon pool. While another group of Autobots left to deal with the Galvatron situation, Jetfire headed off with Doctor Jones to retrieve Sally. Thanks in large to Sally mucking about the Decepticons' control room, the Autobots were able to take control of their enemies' headquarters and Cybertron's warp gate system. Jetfire then volunteered to bring Sally and her mother back to Ocean City. With the humans out of harm's way, Jetfire regrouped with Optimus and Omega Supreme. The Autobots warped back to Cybertron, unaware that on the other side of the space bridge was Galvatron, grown to enormous proportions by the power of super energon. {{storylink|Galvatron Terror}} Upon seeing his old foe so transformed, Optimus instructed Jetfire to take a group of Omnicons and see to Primus's revival. Jetfire traveled to the pool of super energon just as a team headed by Kicker managed to take control of the location. Jetfire put the Omnicons to work at processing the fuel into super energon stars. {{storylink|Destructive Power}}

Jetfire then left Cybertron with Kicker to rejoin the front lines, which had since moved to Alpha Q's dying planetary system. The fight between Galvatron and Optimus had moved beyond the point where Jetfire could contribute anything of use though; both combatants had channeled the power of Unicron to grow themselves to tremendous heights, and grappled as titans on Jungle Planet. From within Jetfire's cockpit, Kicker detected another source of Unicron's essence out in the void of space, and had the shuttle take him towards it. As they neared Unicron's disembodied spark, Kicker asked that Jetfire allow him to continue forth on his own, feeling it was his destiny to confront the evil by himself. Though Jetfire thought the idea was hooey, he still followed Kicker's request, and doubled back to return to Optimus's side. {{storylink|Spark (episode)|Spark}}

[[File:The Sun Autobots.jpg|200px|thumb|left]]
By the time Jetfire reached his (now normal-sized) leader, Optimus had become unresponsive due to the injuries he had suffered in his latest duel against Galvatron. As their Combination Sparks ignited, the Autobots realized that Prime needed the Combination Sparks of all his fellow Autobots to face the final conflict. Rodimus led the Autobots in stepping forward to give up their individuality for the greater good of the team. Jetfire's body was converted into pure energy as he became one with his spark, so that it could in turn become one with all the other Combination Sparks, revitalizing Optimus. Filled with the strength of all his men, Optimus united with Omega Supreme in the ultimate Powerlinx, grappling with Galvatron until the Decepticon leader shrugged off Unicron's influence and plunged into the sun. Jetfire and the other Autobots then separated, and were restored to their individual forms. {{storylink|The Sun}}

After the second defeat of Unicron, Jetfire resettled on [[Nebulos|Nebulon]] for an indeterminate period of time. He adopted a [[Accent|local accent]], one that sounded vaguely like Earth-Australian to certain [[human]]s. {{storylink|Cyber Key Codes|Jetfire's Cyber Key Code content}}

[[File:CybJetfire01.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|I'm a registered bookbinder from Brisbane!]]

Jetfire appeared to have mellowed in the past 20 years; being considerably more cautious compared to his reckless youth, and adhered much more closely to orders and protocol. He returned to Cybertron, his homeworld once again facing a monumental crisis, perhaps the worst in its history: Unicron's demise had created a black hole that was slowly encroaching upon the planet.

[[File:Cyb ep52 flying autobots.jpg|thumb|200px|left]]
Optimus Prime ordered Jetfire to visit Earth and provide the Autobots with scans of local vehicles. This was done so that should their primary plan of destroying the [[Unicron Singularity]] fail, the population of Cybertron could assume disguises and relocate to the human homeworld, whose inhabitants were still largely unaware of the existence of Transformers. The planetary exodus was put underway when the elder Cybertronian [[Vector Prime]] introduced himself. This new arrival ensured the Autobots that he had the means to nullify the black hole: the Autobots only had to collect the [[Cyber Planet Key]]s to unleash the power of Primus upon it. Unfortunately, the map was stolen by [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]. Optimus's elite team, including Jetfire, then set off to Earth themselves. En route, Vector Prime explained to the Autobots that the black hole would, if left unchecked, not only swallow up Cybertron but the entire universe. He then doubled back to retrieve his cosmic map from Megatron, with Optimus insisting that Hot Shot, Jetfire, and Overhaul accompany him on this dangerous task. Jetfire's team came upon Megatron and Starscream inside an asteroid belt. While Jetfire and Vector Prime dealt with Starscream, Overhaul and Hot Shot tackled Megatron. Unfortunately, the Decepticons proved to be simply too powerful and the Autobots were unable to prevent them from escaping once more. Jetfire then rendezvoused with Optimus on Earth, where he met their newest human allies: [[Coby Hansen|Coby]], [[Bud Hansen|Bud]], and [[Lori Jiménez|Lori]]. {{storylink|Fallen (episode)|Fallen}} {{storylink|Inferno (episode)|Inferno}}
[[File:Cyb ep3 construction.jpg|thumb|200px]]
Jetfire aided in the construction of the Autobots' base on Earth, only for Megatron and Starscream to approach the planet part-way through the base's construction. Jetfire launched from the base (thanks to a catapult system proposed by Bud) and helped Hot Shot, Optimus, and Vector Prime in holding the Decepticons out of sensor range. Meanwhile, the rest of the team completed the base's stealth coating. Jetfire's weapons proved largely ineffective against Megatron, but Vector Prime was able to drive off both the Decepticon leader and his lackey by summoning the power of a Cyber Key. Afterwards, having deemed that Jetfire had proved himself in combat, Vector Prime granted him the ability to also summon Cyber Planet Keys to boost his power. {{storylink|Haven}}
[[File:Cyb ep3 jetfire vs thundercracker.jpg|left|thumb|200px]]
The children were tasked with acclimating the Autobot refugees to Earth, but wound up drawing unnecessary attention to their charges. Jetfire had a stern talk with them, but was unable to make much progress in teaching them to be more careful. He then joined his teammates to watch Red Alert's latest attempt at nullifying the black hole threatening Cybertron via tele-conference. This too ended in failure, prompting Vector Prime to reiterate that the Cyber Planet Keys were truly the only solution to Cybertron's impending doom. The Autobots agreed to making the keys their priority.

Later, Scattorshot alerted Jetfire that an airforce patrol was being attacked by Thundercracker. Jetfire confronted the Decepticon, and though he took a number of hits in the ensuing scuffle, he wound up coming out on top after activating his Cyber Key power for the first time. Though Starscream and Megatron joined in, they too were driven away when Optimus activated his own Cyber Key power. Afterwards, Jetfire awarded the children another chance to help hide the refugees in plain sight, and was glad to see they had grown more sensible in their efforts to do so. {{storylink|Hidden (Cybertron)|Hidden}}

Once the Autobots' secret presence on Earth had been secured, they begun scouring the globe for the [[Omega Lock]], the focusing device for the Cyber Planet Keys' power. Jetfire teamed up with Lori in his search, but it was Bud and [[Jolt (Cybertron)|Jolt]] who uncovered the Autobots' first lead: an iteration of the "[[Atlantis Pattern]]" depicting the Omega Lock was located in a museum in [[Mexico]]. Unbeknownst to the Autobots, Thundercracker and Starscream had been tracking their every move, and attacked them once they had assembled outside the building. Jetfire was provoked into another aerial bout with Thundercracker while Vector Prime set about investigating the artifacts within the museum. Though the lead turned out to be a false start, Vector Prime was able to decipher the coordinates of [[Velocitron]], resting place of the first Cyber Planet Key, from the imitation Omega Lock within the museum. {{storylink|Landmine (episode)|Landmine}}

While Hot Shot and Red Alert were sent off to look for the first Key, the rest of the team continued their search for the Omega Lock on Earth. To his frustration, Jetfire found himself unable to contact Scattorshot after returning from an outing. Coby and Lori voiced their concerns that Bud was similarly missing. Jetfire was then called out to assist in a battle against the Decepticons, only to learn what had happened to the missing duo partway to his destination: Bud and Scattorshot had managed to get themselves stranded in Earth's orbit, with a protective force-field containing only a limited amount of oxygen. Changing course to rescue the unlucky pair, Jetfire's efforts were foiled by a man-made satellite crashing into him. Though he chased after Bud and Scattorshot as they begun plummeting down into the atmosphere, Jetfire wasn't fast enough to catch up. Thankfully, Jolt and Coby met them on their way down, and using the Mini-Con's limited teleporting capabilities, they were able to bring Bud and Scattorshot back to safety. {{storylink|Space (episode)|Space}}

Jetfire began to worry that pairing up Hot Shot and Red Alert might not have been the best idea, and petitioned Optimus to swap him out with one of them on the away mission. Optimus refused, confident that despite their clashing personalities, Hot Shot and Red Alert would be successful in acquiring the Velocitronian Planet Key. Optimus then put in motion a plan to end the Decepticon's continued attempts at discovering their base's location. The Autobots built a decoy base, then allowed Jetfire to be followed back to it after their next outing. While Thundercracker blew the fake base to smithereens, Jetfire and the others watched the whole debacle unfold from the safety of their real base. {{storylink|Rush (episode)|Rush}}

After the kids returned from a day out at the movies, Lori and Bud told of how Coby had been rattled by a horror flick. The Autobots had a hearty laugh at his expense. Later that evening, Lori alerted the Autobots to a strange beacon emanating from a nearby forest, depicting the Atlantis Pattern. They investigated, finding the signal to be another Decepticon trap. Jetfire was eager to tackle Starscream himself for once, but Optimus ordered him to stand down, and took on the more powerful Decepticon himself. The Decepticons withdrew when they learned that humans were inbound to their location, and the Autobots rolled out to avoid another encounter with humans themselves. {{storylink|Speed}}

When a tremor struck [[Rockville]], Jetfire and Vector Prime were contacted by Scattorshot to aid them in analyzing data on the area. Jetfire's calculations warned the Autobots that they had a mere five minutes before the nearby [[Mount McDermott]] collapsed into an underground reservoir, which would lead to a catastrophic flooding of the town. Thankfully, Coby came up with a solution to the impending disaster, and with a controlled collapse of the mountain, the Autobots prevented any further harm from coming to Rockville. {{storylink|Collapse}}

A later lead pointed the Autobots towards the [[Sahara|Sahara Desert]] as the location of Atlantis's remains. Jetfire and Optimus flew out to join Vector Prime, the Mini-Cons, and the children in excavating the site. After they used Jetfire's powerful engines to blow away the sand covering the ruins, the Autobots seemed to have finally found the Omega Lock... only for the Decepticons to show up. Megatron destroyed the Mini-Cons in his grab for the artifact, forcing Vector Prime to use his temporal powers to turn back the clock and rescue them. Despite Vector Prime's alteration of the timeline, the Decepticons managed to snag the Omega Lock. As the villains escaped, the Lock was destroyed by a stray shot, revealing it to be yet another fake. Although he had been handed another defeat, Jetfire was left in giddy excitement over having seen Vector Prime's ability put into use. {{storylink|Time (episode)|Time}}

[[File:Jetfire-take-off-Search.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
[[File:Autobots-Search.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
After setting up a network of civilian Autobots to help in their search, the Autobots received word that [[Joyride (Cybertron)|one of them]] was under attack from Thundercracker. Jetfire was dispatched to come to her aid, rescuing her just as Thundercracker was about to deal a finishing blow. The Autobot civilian then led the team to a stone with the Atlantis pattern inscribed on it. Though it wasn't the Omega Lock itself, the inscription did detail the coordinates of the next Cyber Planet Key: the [[Jungle Planet (colony)|Jungle Planet]]. Jetfire hoped to be sent to this new world, but wasn't selected for the mission. {{storylink|Search (episode)|Search}} When another Autobot civilian reported having found the seal of Atlantis within the Bermuda Triangle, Jetfire was hesitant to get his hopes up, rationalizing it was likely another facsimile of the pattern. This time, however, it turned out to be the genuine article! The Autobots battled the Decepticons in the ocean depths while Vector Prime and the kids investigated the ruins. Unfortunately, Jetfire found that his lasers were useless underwater, and was promptly beaten down by the enemy. In order to keep ''Atlantis'' out of Decepticon hands, Vector Prime activated it and warped it away, revealing the truth: the lost city was in reality an ancient Cybertronian ship! {{storylink|Deep}}

Vector Prime used the ''Atlantis''{{'}}s warp drive to keep the vessel out of the Decepticons' hands, leaving the Autobots to look high and low around the globe for it. Optimus eventually realized that Vector Prime had taken the ship to the dark of the moon, though by the time the Autobots found it, the ''Atlantis'' was already being blitzed by Megatron and his goons. A [[Sideways (Armada)|mysterious newcomer]] then arrived and helped Jetfire in taking down Thundercracker... only for this enigmatic figure to turn on him and then dash off. Eventually, the Autobots succeeded in rescuing their friends and retrieving the Omega Lock, though the ''Atlantis'' self-destructed in the process. When Vector Prime touched the artifact, the Omega Lock opened a space-bridge, through which Optimus, Vector Prime, and Landmine left, leaving Jetfire and the others to bring the children back to Earth. {{storylink|Ship}}

Getting in contact with the team on the Speed Planet, Jetfire and the kids learned that Hot Shot was in critical condition after being attacked by [[Ransack (Cybertron)|Ransack]] and [[Crumplezone (Cybertron)|Crumplezone]], a couple of thugs working for Megatron. They watched over the base's monitor as Red Alert fixed up their wounded comrade, and the rest of the team brought him out of his emotional funk, which Hot Shot had fallen into believing he had failed in his mission. {{storylink|Hero (episode)|Hero}} Jetfire next watched as the Autobots competed in the first and second heat of Velocitron's Planet Cup race. {{storylink|Race}} {{storylink|Detour (episode)|Detour}} He eventually noticed that neither Coby nor any of the Mini-Cons were around, and searched high and low for them, eventually discovering that they had left planet Earth altogether! Receiving word that they had gone to Speed Planet, Jetfire ordered them to return to Earth. Hot Shot suggested that they instead be allowed to stay and help him in the last leg of the Planet Cup, a request that Optimus approved. {{storylink|Sand}}

[[File:Cyb_ep18_woohoo.jpg|upright=1.9|thumb|Erm... should I be jumping too?]]
Jetfire joined the Autobots on Speed Planet just in time to hear Coby give an inspirational speech on not giving up in the face of adversity. After finding out that Hot Shot would need his circuits to be re-adjusted constantly throughout the race due to damage he'd previously sustained, Jetfire suggested that Jolt ride along in Hot Shot to stave off a complete breakdown. But Jolt wasn't up to the task: he was simply too bulky to fit inside Hot Shot's cockpit. Coby volunteered instead, and though Jetfire was hesitant to allow the boy to further put himself in harm's way, he was talked into once more allowing it. Hot Shot successfully won the planet cup with Coby's help, only for Megatron to appear immediately afterwards to steal the trophy. Jetfire helped the Autobots in beating back the Decepticons, and then returned to Earth to insert the first Planet Key into the Omega Lock. {{storylink|Champion}} The Lock's activation sent out energy waves, pointing the Autobots towards coordinates near the Earth's north pole. With strange atmospheric phenomenon forming in the same area, the Autobots headed out to investigate. Jetfire was forced to do so on foot due to a snowstorm, making the whole process slow-going. The search party failed to discover anything of interest until Scattorshot came upon Starscream and [[Mudflap (Cybertron)|Mudflap]] attempting to bully Bud, Lori, Coby and [[Lucy Suzuki]] into telling them what they were looking for. Jetfire spotted a distress signal sent out by the kids, prompting him and the rest of the team to converge, driving away the Decepticons. Afterwards, the Autobots decided to abandon the investigation and head back to base. {{storylink|Ice}}

Upon their return to base, Bud and Lori tried to convince Jetfire to let them travel to the Jungle Planet, arguing that they should get a turn at planet-hopping. Jetfire denied their request outright, stating that Jungle Planet was simply too hostile an environment for the humans. However,
the kids managed to get their way, and accompanied the Autobots to Jungle Planet. {{storylink|Honor}}

During the time that Optimus Prime prepared to battle [[Scourge (Cybertron)|Scourge]], Jetfire pointed out that the situation was dangerous, in an attempt to prevent Cybertron and Jungle Planet from possible war. When the kids requested that Lori join Optimus and Override as an ambassador of Earth,Jetfire was exasperated by the prospect, and argued that she would likely not be of help in reasoning with Scourge. Lori argued that the kids had helped the Autobots on several fronts, that they were a team and should work together. Jetfire initially agreed with the point, then quickly snapped back to protesting. Override then supported Lori's argument—as with Hot Shot and Vector Prime—and Jetfire was forced to comply with Prime's final decision, though was clearly feeling that his nerves were being broken down as the kids repeatedly endangered themselves. Jetfire stayed behind while Optimus and the others went to face Scourge, and thus the retrieval of the Jungle Cyber Planet Key. {{storylink|Primal (Cybertron)|Primal}} When Optimus Prime had been almost beaten by Megatron, the Jungle Cyber Planet Key activated and created a space bridge, allowing Jetfire and other Autobots to come to Optimus's aid. {{storylink|Trust (Cybertron)|Trust}}

Jetfire gave [[Snarl (Cybertron)|Snarl]] a tour of the Autobot HQ on Earth, though not without interference from the kids. Jetfire was also present for the insertion of the Jungle Cyber Planet Key into the Omega lock, and was part of the vision of Primus's consciousness that all those present experienced. When the alert for the north pole went off, Jetfire went with Optimus, Leobreaker, and Overhaul to investigate. He kept aerial lookout while the others ventured into the giant hole they found, and was therefore able to alert the others when Starscream released ancient Decepticons from the pods they were hibernating in. Though he made an attempt to prevent Starscream's escape, he was forced instead to go to the aid of the Autobots trapped in the ice below. {{storylink|Trap}} Jetfire tried to break his friends out, even considering using his Cyber Key, until Red Alert and the other Autobots arrived and stopped him, pointing out that he'd collapse the entire tunnel on top of them. When the team managed to nearly break though, Jetfire transformed, and melted it with his jets. Reunited, they headed off to confront Starscream. When Starscream ordered his ancient Decepticons to attack, Jetfire battles the airborne ones. When Optimus was wounded protecting [[Crosswise (Cybertron)|Crosswise]] and [[Evac (Cybertron)|Evac]] from Starscream, Jetfire opened fire, and carried Optimus and the others on top of him. {{storylink|Invasion (episode)|Invasion}}

[[File:Cyb_ep25_starscream_ransom.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.3|Oh man I think I'm gonna--HRRRBLAGGG]]
Back at base, Jetfire urged the Autobots to cut off all broadcast waves to prevent the Decepticons detecting their base, instead connecting to the human telephone network. After the kids returned, with [[Lucy Suzuki|an outsider]], which Jetfire admonished them for, the Decepticons found the base. Forced to leave Earth to lead the Decepticons to Velocitron with Evac finding the Cyber Planet Key. Jetfire held off Starscream and Sideways so Evac could get to the space bridge, but was captured by Starscream. Held as ransom for the Cyber Planet Key with the humans, Jetfire was rescued by Jolt warping him and the humans away. After Starscream assaulted the space bridge, Jetfire joined the fight, even managing to score a direct hit with his cannons, before being blasted by Starscream. {{storylink|Retreat}}

[[File:JetCracker-punch.jpg|thumb|200px]]
While exploring the lower levels of Gigantion, Jetfire, Snarl, and Leobreaker didn't encounter anything unusual, until they discovered a large chasm that they proceeded to leap into. When the trio reached the bottom of the pit, they were attacked by Thundercracker. Jetfire tackled the Decepticon, ordering the others to go ahead without him. After Thundercracker was insulted for being to no threat, he threw Jetfire aside and tried to attack them, before Jetfire opened fire on the Decepticon, allowing his comrades to get away. To Jetfire's confusion, Thundercracker announced he had a new "forbidden attack". This "Super Electric Lightning Thundercrackin' Punch" was seemingly just a punch, until it actually was effective, which Jetfire complimented his rival on. Jetfire and Thundercracker went to fight, and fight, and fight, before collapsing exhaustedly. Coby, Landmine, Quickmix and Evac found them, and Coby tended to Jetfire while Quickmix dealt with Thundercracker. {{storylink|Ambush (episode)|Ambush}}

After the black hole had been sealed, the Autobots worked on moving the Jungle Planet back to its rightful position with four boosters. However [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] threw the Planet's trajectory to Cybertron by damaging a booster. Optimus ordered the Autobots to deal with the booster problem, leaving him to handle Galvatron, despite Jetfire's protests. All the Autobots, and even the Decepticons, managed to right the booster, with the Jungle Planet returning to its rightful position, and Jetfire bid farewell to them. Jetfire and the Autobots then went to help Prime against Galvatron. However Galvatron brought them to their knees with purple lightning. Jetfire witnessed Optimus finally defeat Galvatron, and fell to his knees, so Jetfire led the Autobots to aid Optimus. {{storylink|Unfinished}}

After the final battle with Galvatron, peace spread across the galaxy. As part of a new initiative, Optimus Prime left aboard the starship ''[[Atlantis]]'' to chart new territory, leaving Jetfire in charge of planet Cybertron. {{storylink|Beginning}}

Several months after the conclusion of the Unicron Singularity crisis, Optimus Prime and several of his crew, including Jetfire, met another [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]] and his comrades who had been protecting Cybertron from other threats during the Singularity crisis. {{storylink|Revelations Part 6}}

[[File:Jetfire breaks in.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|LET'S WHACK SOME BUSH--wait, I can't do that stereotype yet? Slag.]]
Jetfire was left in command of the Autobot troops on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] after Optimus Prime left to protect the [[Mini-Con]]s on Earth. He was unhappy with Prime for this, feeling that he had abandoned the Autobots on Cybertron for his affairs on Earth. When Prime returned to Cybertron to request reinforcements and supplies, Jetfire denied him the former, as he was losing the war and needed every man he could get. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 10|Armada #10}}

Some time later, [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] contacted Jetfire and informed him that Optimus Prime had mysteriously vanished. While Jetfire had no clue as to what was going on either, he agreed to do like the [[Space Mini-Con Team]] keep an eye out for suspicious [[space bridge]] activity. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 1 of 4}} Soon enough, [[Blurr (Armada)|Blurr]] reported that multiple space bridges were repeatedly opening and closing at the [[Decepticon Command Headquarters]]. Jetfire decided to investigate, and took a team of Autobots with him to infiltrate the enemy base. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 2 of 4}} Upon arrival, they found that all the Decepticons in the base had been murdered, and that the space bridge nexus was automatically opening and closing space bridges in an apparent attempt to damage the dimensional wall. Suitably creeped out, Jetfire ordered his troops to take control of the nexus, but was suddenly ambushed by a [[Bludgeon (G1)|skeletal samurai]]. After getting his team to blind the enemy, Jetfire blasted it with all the firepower at his disposal, but only managed to damage its [[Pretender|outer shell]]. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 3 of 4}}

[[File:WorldsCollide4 PowerlinxOptimusJetfire.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5]]
The team eventually made their way to the space bridge nexus, and tried to shut it down. Jetfire thought he caught a glimpse of the lost Optimus Prime in one of the space bridges, but shrugged it off. When all attempts to disable the nexus failed, Jetfire ordered his troops to evacuate while he stayed behind to manually blow up the entire building. Three more powerful enemies arrived through a space bridge, but at the last second, Jetfire caught another glimpse of Optimus Prime in a portal, and dove through it right after activating the explosives. While he successfully reached his lost commander, the two were now stuck on an alternate-reality Cybertron in the process of being devoured by [[Unicron]]. Thankfully, [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]], [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]] and [[Comettor (Armada)|Comettor]] reached this reality as well, and used the power of [[Powerlinx]]ing and the [[Mini-Con Matrix]] to boost the strength of both Jetfire and Prime. The two Autobots combined and damaged Unicron with a powerful energy blast, then returned to their home universe to prepare for the planet eater's arrival. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 4 of 4}}

Jetfire organized Cybertron's planetary defenses, and when Unicron arrived, he combined with Optimus Prime to attack him head-on. Thanks to the efforts of Over-Run and the Mini-Con population, Unicron was eventually vanquished and peace was brought back to Cybertron. {{storylink|The End (Armada)|The End}}

====''Energon'' comic====
[[File:WhatLiesBeneathPart2 JetfireIronhidePowerlink.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5|]]
Ten years after the defeat of Unicron, Jetfire was seen flying around in the reconstructed [[Cyber City]]. {{storylink|This Evil Reborn}} He and several other Autobots tried to listen in on one of Optimus Prime's discussions with the [[Autobot High Council]], but were interrupted when [[Unicron's Four Horsemen]] attacked the city. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath}} Jetfire and the others tried to fight back, but were easily taken out by their powerful opponents. However, Optimus Prime managed to link up to Cybertron itself and activate a system-wide upgrade, granting Jetfire a brand new body capable of combining with anyone. He then combined with [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]] and used his new strength to help drive the Four Horsemen away. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Two}} Jetfire and his fellow upgraded Autobots later traveled to Earth to deal with several [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]] wreaking havoc in [[Australia]]. However, despite their new bodies, they soon found themselves outmatched by the Terrorcons' use of pure [[Energon]]. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Three}} Combined with Ironhide, Jetfire participated in a plan to trick the Terrorcons into shooting each other, but the enemies still weren't driven off until the [[Omnicon]]s arrived as reinforcements. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Four}}

After returning to Cybertron, Jetfire spent a whole lot of time sweet-talking various governors into granting him the resources and funding needed to construct a base on Earth. As such, he was fairly irritated when it seemed Ironhide wasn't finishing the base components on schedule, and told the engineer that he better not let them down. It didn't help that Ironhide suddenly disappeared while out on an errand, so Jetfire went out to search for him, grumbling about new recruits who were always looking for adventure. After stumbling upon a damaged [[Cliffjumper (Energon)|Cliffjumper]], he eventually found Ironhide next to an armed [[seismic-shock warhead]]. After the warhead had shut down, Ironhide explained that he had built it long ago but made sure it wouldn't go off, and that a [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|a Decepticon]] had just forced him to reactivate it. Jetfire was proud that Ironhide was able to confront his past mistakes, and told him he finally sounded like a true Autobot. {{storylink|Aftershock (issue)|Aftershock}}

[[File:MultiplicityPart2 JetfireTakesCharge.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5|]]
Some time later, Optimus Prime vanished, having stepped into a space bridge on Earth but never arrived on Cybertron. This gave Jetfire a headache; partially because they needed him to deal with unrest among the [[human]] population, but mostly because it meant he had to shoulder Prime's responsibilities of asking the ever-unhelpful High Council for reinforcements for Earth. While the council was hesitant about his request at first, councillor [[Avalon (Energon)|Avalon]] convinced the other members to grant Jetfire's request. {{storylink|Multiplicity}} Jetfire was thankful to Avalon, who explained that the other councillors were just unwilling to accept that they were at war again, and complimented Jetfire on how he had handled things. As Jetfire lamented the loss of Optimus Prime and Avalon comforted him, [[Prowl (Energon)|Prowl]] burst into the chamber and reported that Terrorcons were assaulting four major Earth cities. Jetfire ordered for the reinforcements to be prepared at once, then took a bunch of Autobots through a space bridge to [[Los Angeles]]. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 2}} They defended the city from a thousands of [[Insecticon (Energon)|Insecticons]], but quickly started to get worn down by the sheer number of them. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 3}}

When [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] reported that [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] had come back from the dead and was wiping out Terrorcons in [[Toronto]], Jetfire didn't believe it at first. Even when he accepted the fact that Megatron was back, he ignored the hows and whys as he had to focus on conserving energy for the battle with the Insecticons. Thankfully, [[Rad White]] showed up to power the Autobots up with Energon is gaseous form, allowing them to recover and drive the Insecticons away. Jetfire approached the revived Decepticon leader, who told him that he wasn't done killing Terrorcons just yet, and left him with a message: "Optimus Prime sends his regards... from the belly of the beast!" {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 4}} Jetfire later reported Megatron's return and his message to the High Council. {{storylink|No Exit}}

{{Unreleased energon comic}}

Jetfire and the Autobots continued to hold Earth despite the absence of Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Doomsday Redux!}} As [[Unicron]] was within days of reaching Cybertron, Jetfire and [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]] held out hope that Optimus was alive inside Unicron, and capable of acting. When the Autobots got word that Kicker and [[Alterenergy]] were under attack, Jetfire dispatched [[Grimlock (Energon)|Grimlock]] and [[Swoop (Energon)|Swoop]] to their aid. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 1}}

Jetfire soon found himself in an impossible situation. Earth was only protected by the presence of the energon grid holding back the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]]s. However, Autobot forces on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] desperately needed reinforcements in the form of [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]]. Even if Jetfire dropped the grid briefly to allow Omega through, it was also create an opportunity for [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]], who had kidnapped Kicker, to escape with his valuable hostage. Jetfire prayed his friends from Alterenergy could rescue Kicker in time, before there was no one left on Mars to help. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 3}}

The situation became more complicated as Megatron emerged from self-imposed dormancy, launching an attack on the energon towers from inside the grid. Jetfire was desperately low on troops to commit to this new Decepticon attack, on top of the search for Kicker and the Mars reinforcements. The final domino fell when Perceptor picked up a signal from Unicron itself sent by Optimus Prime. Jetfire chose to drop the grid, negating the need for troops to protect the towers from Megatron and letting him redistribute forces to Mars and Unicron. He regretfully informed Rad that Kicker was on his own. Jetfire himself made his way to Prime's position, clearing out the Terrorcon hordes to reunite with his leader. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 4}}

Surrounded by Terrorcons spawned by the awakening Unicron, Jetfire and Prime fought a losing battle until Unicron was distracted by the revenge of Megatron. They returned to Cybertron and rallied the entire Autobot and Decepticon armada for defense against the Chaos-Bringer's return. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 5}}

When Optimus Prime left for Earth, Jetfire was apparently left behind to look after things on Cybertron. Prime contacted him for help when the Decepticons were looking for Mini-Cons on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]], as the [[space bridge]] on Earth was damaged and unable to send any of Prime's Autobots there. Jetfire agreed to use a space bridge on Cybertron to send [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] and [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] to fight the Decepticons on the moon. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 6|Between Two Worlds!}}

:*''Takara/Sonokong ID number'': '''MC-09'''
:*''Takara release date'': [[June 26]], 2003
:*''Accessories'': Electronic shuttle engine/gun, 2 missiles, shield/landing gear
{{toydesigner|[[Aaron Archer]] (Hasbro), [[Hironori Kobayashi]] (Takara)}}

: Released in the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' Giga-Cons, Jetfire transforms into a futuristic space shuttle. When his main engine/weapon's tailfin is pushed back, it activates the original Generation 1 Autobot "laser" sound effect. Pushing the tail fin forwards (perhaps by placing the shuttle upright as if in launching mode) activates a rather garbled blast-off countdown sequence, followed by a "take off" sound, ''then'' followed by a series of radar "pings" that goes on just short of forever. Both sounds are also ''incredibly ''easy to trigger. Later releases of Jetfire altered the sounds to replace the countdown with other beeps. In [[robot mode]], Jetfire's main engine becomes a hand-held cannon, and his rear landing gear assembly becomes an arm-mounted shield (via the Mini-Con port on his left forearm, utilized as a standard [[5 mm post]]). Much like how it is often depicted in his cartoon model, Jetfire's engine can attach to his right forearm via a 5 mm port for storage. Hasbro's [[Stock photography|stock photo]] of Jetfire also shows additional changes in his design, as Jetfire's cargo bay doors are left white while the final toy has red and black stripes on them.

: His shuttle mode has numerous Mini-Con-activated, and Mini-Con-related [[gimmick]]s. The underside of his nosecone has a plug and socket designed to fit his pack-in partner [[Comettor (Armada)#Toys|Comettor]] in "landing gear" mode, giving Jetfire a non-firing gun. Plugging a Mini-Con onto the Powerlinx plug on his main engine flips out a pair of stabilizer fins from his sides, and also changes the electronic "laser" sound to a much more powerful-sounding blast sound. The Powerlinx plugs on each wing drop his wing-mounted bombs; the wings have additional slots separate from the gimmick to allow Mini-Cons to be attached without dropping the bombs. There is also an opening cargo bay area with screens sculpted on the inside of the right door.

: The [[Hasbro]] [[instructions]] and stock images for the figure make it hard to tell how his arms are meant to be positioned in shuttle mode, switching between two different configurations every couple of images. What appears to be the intended way (depicted in his cartoon [[character model]], and the Takara stock images, right) is having the arms folded under the shuttle mode, rather than inside the shuttle itself, giving you room to put some Mini-Cons inside the cargo bay. This configuration also makes use of the forearm-mounted Mini-Con port as a 5 mm post, joining both his arms, locking the shuttle halves together. Due to the way the shoulder ratchets work, one can also articulate them down to airdrop Mini-Cons, for extra play possibilities. The other configuration that depicts his forearms folded all the way up, seems to be designed solely for the combination with [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#SuperBase|Super Base Optimus Prime]], to create his thighs (more on the combination below).

: As mentioned above, Jetfire can combine with Super Base Optimus Prime to form "Jet Prime", replacing the regular Super Mode [[trailer]] legs, and attaching Jetfire's shield onto Prime's chest as armor. His shuttle mode can also be carried by [[Overload (Armada)#Toys|Overload]]'s weapons-trailer mode, which can be towed by either [[Rollout (Armada)#Toys|Rollout]], Prime's trailer (as a roadtrain), or Prime himself (even the [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Super-Con|Super-Con Prime toy]]). Additionally, Overload can be added to the Jet Prime combined mode to create another version of the "Optimus Prime Megaweapon" mode—though, it appears that Overload wasn't entirely designed with the Jetfire combination in mind, as Jetfire's cockpit section can collide with Overload's speaker box without some careful maneuvering.

: The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''Legends of the Microns'' and [[Sonokong]] ''Eunha Yeongung: Cybertron'' versions of Jetfire have a variety of subtle changes. The white plastic is considerably brighter, and white paint has been applied to the insides of the forearms to make the combined mode legs look more cohesive. The gray and dark-gray plastics have been darkened slightly and switched from matte to metallic, and the bright red has changed to a darker shade. The re-entry burn deco on his nosecone has been dropped, as well as the gold vertical lines on the shins, while his shield gained blue fake chest "windows" and dark silver on several smaller details. Lastly, Jetfire's eye deco has also been corrected from the Hasbro release, now being properly ''behind'' the clear visor instead of ''on top of it''.

: The Hasbro release of Jetfire was actually released in Japan in very limited numbers as part of a gift campaign in May, a month prior to the full Takara retail release. Speaking of, Ito Yokaido stores offered one of the three [[Race Mini-Con Team#RoadAssault|Road Assault Edition Race Microns]] with the purchase of either Jetfire or [[Tidal Wave (Armada)#Toys|Shockwave]] (Tidal Wave) in August (though reportedly, most stores just gave them away with ''any'' toy in the line).

: The Jetfire mold was going to be redecoed and released as ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Spacewarp#Toys|Spacewarp]]. However, Spacewarp was cancelled, then later salvaged and given a retooled head as the [[Transformers Collectors' Club]]-[[exclusive]] [[Astrotrain (Cybertron)#Toys|Astrotrain]].

: Part of the first wave of small ''[[Built to Rule!]]'' sets, Jetfire is a building-brick set (compatible with popular building-block sets like... ''[[Kre-O]]''!) that can be assembled into a space shuttle or a robot or whatever else you feel like. Like pretty much all the ''Armada Built to Rule!'' sets, his construction is centered around a wide, blocky "Trans-Skeleton" piece that basically makes his robot mode a wall with spindly, awkward limbs sticking off it. In shuttle mode, he has a small depression on his roof to place his block-Mini-Con partner [[Comettor (Armada)#Built to Rule!|Comettor]], or any normal Mini-Con thanks to the 2x2 "Powerlinx" plate there (though the grip on normal Mini-Cons is very weak). Like the original toy, his main jet-thruster piece is a blaster cannon, only this time it's a spring-loaded missile launcher.

:*''Takara release date'': [[December 25]], 2003
:*''Accessories'': Spring-loaded missile launcher, missile
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (Takara)}}

: Released in "wave 1.5" (just go with it) of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' Mega Class toys, Jetfire transforms into a white and gray futuristic space shuttle with a non-removable red booster rocket assembly. He features an electronic transforming sound effect that activates when another Autobot combines with him, or when his head is flipped down in [[robot mode]].

: He also features a spring-loaded missile launcher shaped like a satellite, which can be mounted under the nosecone of his shuttle mode. A button on top of the cockpit fires the missile. Additionally, the claws on his undercarriage can be pulled open, then snapped shut when the button in the middle is pressed. Like most ''Energon'' toys, he features a [[Spark crystal|spark crystal]] as an [[Energon star|Energon Chip]] port on him, in this case his left shoulder/engine cowling.

: However, there is a possible design flaw involved with Jetfire's design. In order to use the undercarriage claw properly in vehicle mode, the red sections that form his legs must be repositioned due to a lack of clearance. Coincidentally, this lines up his engines to allow him to sit on them as if ready to launch. The mushroom joint that holds the two halves together is also somewhat loose, but is most likely [[for safety reasons]].

: When Powerlinxing with the other Autobot Mega Class toys in the line, he can either form a lower body or a torso. When forming the torso, he becomes '''Powerlinx Jetfire'''. Due to the connections being the same, Jetfire can also Powerlinx with the Combat Class (Deluxe) Autobot toys, but this just looks plain silly. Undocumented in the [[instructions]] is the intended way for Powerlinx Jetfire to wield his missile launcher; due to the peg on the launcher used for Jetfire's standard robot mode not having enough purchase in the combined mode fist, one must fold the fist panel up, and pull his robot foot up, so that it's pointing straight out of the forearm to reveal a second [[5 mm post|5 mm port]] to connect the other peg into. This ''does'' make Powerlinx Jetfire's fist sit up by his elbow joint in this configuration, but the intention appears to be that Jetfire's foot forms an extra gun barrel for his Powerlinx form, creating a kind of gun-arm look.

: Takara's ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)#Takara Super Link toyline|Super Link]]'' "Skyfire", released in the line's first wave of product, is pretty minimally changed visually, using red translucent plastic in place of Hasbro Jetfire's orange. However, like most of the line, the electronic sound gimmicks of the Hasbro version have been completely removed, and he now has a sticker covering the now-empty battery compartment.

: Jetfire was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as a [[Lunabot]] in [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]'' comic series; this mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Overcast (Energon)#Toys|Overcast]].

He also continues to lack the electronic sound gimmick from the Hasbro releases of this mold.

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (Takara)}}

: ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' Jetfire was once again Ultra-sized, but this time transforming into a green cargo plane resembling a modified {{w|Antonov An-225}}. The design of the vehicle mode features a small homage to Jetfire's previous shuttle forms via a (non-opening) hatch featuring "teeth" on the dorsal section. Jetfire features sound effects by pressing the port side aft engine nacelle. Inserting a [[Cyber Key]] into his tail assembly in either vehicle or robot mode causes a pair of translucent red cannons to extend, and the compartment they are mounted on to raise. Pressing the port side aft engine now features a different sound effect. The tail section can be swiveled up to form an attack mode somewhat resembling the "gerwalk" form of a ''[[Super Dimension Fortress Macross|Macross]]'' Valkyrie (appropriately).

: In robot mode, Jetfire has a tendency to topple back due to the heavy battery operated gimmicks of the tail section, though he is more stable if one puts him in an action-oriented pose. In this mode he features two pop-out (non-firing) missile pods in his waist and wields his two wing-mounted (spring-loaded) missile launchers.

: The initial Takara ''Galaxy Force'' "Dreadrock" release has a number of extra paint applications, including extra silver on his outer legs and red detailing on his knees. He also comes with a Cybertron Autobot Cyber Key. The later Hasbro ''Cybertron'' "Jetfire" version has an additional support bar between the barrels of the translucent red tail cannons to provide structural integrity, and comes with an Earth planet Cyber Key.

: This mold was [[redeco]]ed to make [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|live-action-movie-verse]] [[Jetstorm (Movie)#Toys|Jetstorm]]. It was later used to represent the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' character of [[Dreadrock]].

Similar to the original, he is able to combine with ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Legacy|Armada Universe Optimus Prime]] to form Jet Optimus. The shield that forms Jet Optimus' chest does not contain an Autobot emblem, and needs the removable emblem on Prime's super mode chest (which has to be removed to expose the slot for the shield/chestplate anyway) to be inserted into a designated gap. The shield/chestplate contains a portion that flips over Optimus' head to add a slot to his back. [[Overload (Armada)|Hmm...]]

*'''Jetfire''' (Burger King Kids' Meal toy, 2005)
**''Accessories'': Tail section

:An incredibly simplified version of ''Cybertron'' Jetfire available with [[Burger King]] kids meals. This toy is a partsformer, requiring you to remove his tail section to transform him and to replace it on his back. He don't stand too good.

**''Accessories'': Cup topper stand

:Released in [[Jollibee]]'s "Robot Blasters" promotion, Jetfire is a simplified rendition of the [[Jetfire (Armada)#LOC|Legends of Cybertron]] figure, missing several joints and shaving off a few transformation steps in the process. Like all four pieces in this set, Jetfire comes with a stand with his name and faction symbol sculpted on one side and the ''Cybertron'' logo on the other. This stand can also be used to cover up a regular-sized cup from a fast food joint.

==Notes==
* The ''Armada'' Jetfire toy's appearance and transformation sequence is an homage to Generation 1 [[Galaxy Shuttle]]. This was confirmed by then-head designer [[Aaron Archer]] during his stint as 'ORSON' on the [http://www.tfw2005.com TFW2005.com] boards.
* ''Armada'' Jetfire's vehicle mode is inspired by the X-71 Shuttle from the 1998 film ''[[Armageddon (film)|Armageddon]]''.<ref>[[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club (magazine)|Transformers Collectors Club magazine]] {{fact}}</ref><ref>{{citesocial|quote=Jetfire in ''Armada'' was very much inspired, ironically, from the ''Armageddon'' space shuttles. […] Very much inspired by the space shuttle from ''Armageddon'', we just didn't make it blue, but the extra wings and stabilizers and engines on top of a normal kind of NASA space shuttle, was kind of what I was going for.|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQLQ4VzuCGA&t=1299s|name=Aaron Archer|site=''The Toy Armada''|title=Toy Armada Friday night LIVE: Creating characters and lore|year=2023|month=05|day=26}}</ref>
* All artwork depicting Jetfire in the ''Armada'' [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] ''[[More than Meets the Eye: Transformers: Armada|More than Meets the Eye]]'' profile books has him drawn with his cockpit section left folded down, rather than pulled up to form his chest. This includes his profile, the profile for the [[Requiem Blaster (Armada)|Requiem Blaster]], and the artwork for his [[Spontaneous recoloration|Powerlinx upgrade]].
* An unused concept for a potential [[BotCon]] 2017 figure would've seen a new Jetfire from ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Sentinel Prime (G1)#Generations|Sentinel Prime]] in ''Armada'' colors with a [[Comettor (Armada)|Comettor]] [[Titan Master]] redecoed from [[Apeface]].<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/new-images-of-concepts-and-customized-figures-from-fun-pub-at-petes-robot-convention-2017/39073/]</ref>
* Jetfire made a cameo appearance in [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Open Comms|Valentine's Day Special]]''.
* At the [[BotCon 2005]] toy panel, the ''Cybertron'' Jetfire redeco that ended up becoming Sky Shadow was originally being considered to be named [[Octane]] but we can assume trademark reasons were why it wasn't called that.

Transformers: Age of the Primes

[[File:Age of the Primes main artwork.jpg|right|thumb|350px|'''2024:''' ''"[[Megatron (One)|The Age of Primes has ended! No more false prophets!]]''" '''2025:''' ]]

'''''Transformers: Age of the Primes''''' is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the successor to ''[[Transformers: Legacy]]''.

First teased at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2024]]<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/52ddGYMyvpE?t=11223s ''Transformers'' panel] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2024]] on the [[Hasbro Pulse]] YouTube channel, with [[Ben MacCrae]], [[Evan Brooks]], [[Mark Maher]], [[Marcelo Matere]], and [[Nate Purswell]]</ref> and given a full reveal at [[Cybertron Con 2024|Cybertron Con]] later that year,<ref name = "CyCon25">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjmcMC9nNoA ''Age of the Primes'' reveal panel] from [[Cybertron Con 2024]] on the [[Hasbro Pulse]] YouTube channel, with Mark Maher.</ref> ''Age of the Primes'' revolves around the mythical [[Thirteen|Thirteen Primes]] and their [[Energon bloodline|descendants]].<ref name=usedtwice>{{citesocial|quote=The best part of the next 2 years is, you’ll not only collect the 13 primes but theres an amazing plethora of bots that are all descendents of the primes, you can collect them all, finish mini collections, and guess their energon bloodline.|link=https://www.instagram.com/p/DC2tKXARTg3/|name=Mark Maher|site=Instagram|year=2024|month=11|day=26}}</ref> Unlike the Thirteen's diminutive toys in the 2018 ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' line, these are standard-sized figures, drawing from multiple designs, and each including their [[Artifacts of the Primes|artifact]]. ''Age of the Primes'' also continues the standard of scale, articulation, and compatibility for 3 mm [[Fire Blast effect|effects]] and [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|5 mm weapons/armor]] set by the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''. The "descendants" of the Primes, much like ''Legacy'', are based on characters from multiple ''Transformers'' series.

Much like ''Power of the Primes'', a substantial part of the toyline is also dedicated to the [[combiner]] teams: the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] and the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]]. Both subgroups utilize a similar system to the ''Legacy'' [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]], with a Commander Class toy transforming into the torso and combining with an included frame that four smaller toys can attach to.

The line makes pretty significant changes to the smallest and largest of the size classes that have been standards over many prior years. The Core Class assortment was completely discontinued (hard to make bigger changes than ''that''), while the Titan Class toys were decreased in size, and thankfully, price. Unfortunately some size class prices went ''up'' in certain markets – most notably the Voyager Class toys.

===Big ticket items===
Due to ''[[Studio Series#2026|Studio Series]]'' taking the Titan Class slot for the first time, [[2026]] is the first year since the inception of the price point where the main [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|''Generations'']] imprint has gone without a Titan Class figure. As a trade-off, ''Age of the Primes'' would instead receive two Commander classes for that year.

==Exclusives==
''Age of the Primes'' continues ''Legacy'''s trend of themed "capsule" lines exclusive to various retailers, beginning in 2025 with the "Wreck 'n Doom Collection", a [[Wreckers]] vs. [[Mayhem Attack Squad]]-themed line continuing on from the previous "Wreck 'n Rule" and "Doom 'n Destruction" collections, exclusive to [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] in North America. That same year, [[Walmart]] had an (incredibly small) line themed around ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' in celebration of its 20th anniversary. The ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' assortment from previous lines remains, with a new packaging design based on the other ''Age of the Primes'' toys.

==''Age of the Primes'' (TakaraTomy)==
[[TakaraTomy]]'s normal-retail ''Transformers Age of the Primes'' (トランスフォーマーエイジ・オブ・ザ・プライム ''Toransufōmā Eiji obu za Puraimu'') toyline is largely the same as Hasbro's, with no notable changes to the toys proper (other than the omission of the tampographed Hasbro product code numbers); the one "big" change is that the packaging adds [[List of Japanese ID numbers|ID numbers]] for each item.

==Notes==
*''Age of the Primes'' was previously teased with the releases of ''Legacy'' [[Vector Prime#Legacy|Vector Prime]] and [[Malleus Minotaurus]], the former of whom was later featured on official art for the toyline.
*Concurrently with 2025’s ''[[Studio_Series#2025|Studio Series]]'' assortment, the toyline sees a return to the plastic windows not seen on Transformers packaging since ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]''. Also like ''Studio Series'', the boxes are now less decorated than their predecessors, replacing the full package artwork with an all-black design that has art of the figure’s robot and alternate forms on one side of the window, with the robot form on the left side of the box and the toyline’s poster on the right, and little graphics on the front showing the toy’s step count.
*The Thirteen’s roster (and many of their designs and artifacts) are pulled from [[2013]]’s ''[[Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus]]'', with the [[Thirteenth Prime]] represented by Optimus Prime in his [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Return of Convoy|Star Convoy]] form.
*The Thirteen's boxes feature subtly distinct livery from the "mortal" figures in the line: their names and transformation step callouts are rendered in gold rather than the usual white, and their [[Insignia/Gallery#Religious symbols|personal sigils]] developed for [[2018]]'s ''[[Power of the Primes (franchise)|Power of the Primes]]'' take the place of faction symbols.
*''Age of the Primes'' coincides with the Thirteen's major role in the theatrical film ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]''.
*Unlike the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' and ''Legacy'' toylines, which were each three years long, ''Age of the Primes'' is only two years.<ref name=usedtwice /><ref>{{citesocial|quote= 2026 and 2025 are linked together, I can say that, and if you can believe it we’re already starting to think a little bit about 2027.|link=https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/08/03/sdcc-2024-hasbro-interview-john-wardens-return-generations-studio-series-combiners-more-513802|name=John Warden|site=TFW2005|title=SDCC 2024 Hasbro Interview – John Warden’s Return, Generations, Studio Series, Combiners, More!|year=2024|month=08|day=03}}</ref> Also unlike those lines, it was not rebranded with a new name for its second year.<ref>{{citesocial|quote= Yes, 2026 will also be Age of the Primes.|link=https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/2025-generations-listings-united-wave-5-age-of-the-primes.1259609/page-1203#post-22990969|name=Evan Brooks|site=Instagram|year=2025|month=01|day=04}}</ref>
*Though it continues to include characters from all parts of the brand’s history, ''Age of the Primes'' mostly drops the universe designations from their names.
*The majority of the figures in the toyline are identified as direct descendants of one of the Thirteen through something referred to as an "[[Energon bloodline]]" in another element derived from the Covenant, though use of the phrase "bloodline" for the concept raises some [[Reproduction|serious questions]].
*The [[Liokaiser#Legacy|Liokaiser box set]] that constituted the [[2025]] [[Hasbro Pulse#HasLab|HasLab campaign]] was branded as part of the prior ''Legacy'' line to maintain consistency with the previous [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|''Victory'']]-based Haslab Transformers<ref>{{citesocial|quote=We decided to make Liokaiser part of Legacy mainly for branding reasons. With HasLabs, a lot of fans tend to keep those figures in the box, which is a bit different from how most people collect the mainline figures. Since Victory Saber and Deathsaurus were both released under Legacy—and all three are from the same series—it just made sense to keep that consistency. We really wanted them to feel like they’re part of the same world!|link=https://news.tfw2005.com/2025/06/06/tfw-x-mark-maher-qa-aotp-haslabs-commanders-more-539034|name=Mark Maher|site=TFW2005|year=2025|month=06|day=06}}</ref>, leaving the first year of ''Age of the Primes'' without a HasLab.

[[File:Age of the Primes main artwork.jpg|right|thumb|350px|'''2024:''' ''"[[Megatron (One)|The Age of Primes has ended! No more false prophets!]]''" '''2025:''' ]]

'''''Transformers: Age of the Primes''''' is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the successor to ''[[Transformers: Legacy]]''.

First teased at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2024]]<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/52ddGYMyvpE?t=11223s ''Transformers'' panel] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2024]] on the [[Hasbro Pulse]] YouTube channel, with [[Ben MacCrae]], [[Evan Brooks]], [[Mark Maher]], [[Marcelo Matere]], and [[Nate Purswell]]</ref> and given a full reveal at [[Cybertron Con 2024|Cybertron Con]] later that year,<ref name = "CyCon25">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjmcMC9nNoA ''Age of the Primes'' reveal panel] from [[Cybertron Con 2024]] on the [[Hasbro Pulse]] YouTube channel, with Mark Maher.</ref> ''Age of the Primes'' revolves around the mythical [[Thirteen|Thirteen Primes]] and their [[Energon bloodline|descendants]].<ref name=usedtwice>{{citesocial|quote=The best part of the next 2 years is, you’ll not only collect the 13 primes but theres an amazing plethora of bots that are all descendents of the primes, you can collect them all, finish mini collections, and guess their energon bloodline.|link=https://www.instagram.com/p/DC2tKXARTg3/|name=Mark Maher|site=Instagram|year=2024|month=11|day=26}}</ref> Unlike the Thirteen's diminutive toys in the 2018 ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' line, these are standard-sized figures, drawing from multiple designs, and each including their [[Artifacts of the Primes|artifact]]. ''Age of the Primes'' also continues the standard of scale, articulation, and compatibility for 3 mm [[Fire Blast effect|effects]] and [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|5 mm weapons/armor]] set by the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''. The "descendants" of the Primes, much like ''Legacy'', are based on characters from multiple ''Transformers'' series.

Much like ''Power of the Primes'', a substantial part of the toyline is also dedicated to the [[combiner]] teams: the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] and the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]]. Both subgroups utilize a similar system to the ''Legacy'' [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]], with a Commander Class toy transforming into the torso and combining with an included frame that four smaller toys can attach to.

The line makes pretty significant changes to the smallest and largest of the size classes that have been standards over many prior years. The Core Class assortment was completely discontinued (hard to make bigger changes than ''that''), while the Titan Class toys were decreased in size, and thankfully, price. Unfortunately some size class prices went ''up'' in certain markets – most notably the Voyager Class toys.

==Exclusives==
''Age of the Primes'' continues ''Legacy'''s trend of themed "capsule" lines exclusive to various retailers, beginning in 2025 with the "Wreck 'n Doom Collection", a [[Wreckers]] vs. [[Mayhem Attack Squad]]-themed line continuing on from the previous "Wreck 'n Rule" and "Doom 'n Destruction" collections, exclusive to [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] in North America. That same year, [[Walmart]] had an (incredibly small) line themed around ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' in celebration of its 20th anniversary. The ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' assortment from previous lines remains, with a new packaging design based on the other ''Age of the Primes'' toys.

==''Age of the Primes'' (TakaraTomy)==
[[TakaraTomy]]'s normal-retail ''Transformers Age of the Primes'' (トランスフォーマーエイジ・オブ・ザ・プライム ''Toransufōmā Eiji obu za Puraimu'') toyline is largely the same as Hasbro's, with no notable changes to the toys proper (other than the omission of the tampographed Hasbro product code numbers); the one "big" change is that the packaging adds [[List of Japanese ID numbers|ID numbers]] for each item.

==Notes==
*Concurrently with 2025’s ''[[Studio_Series#2025|Studio Series]]'' assortment, the toyline sees a return to the plastic windows not seen on Transformers packaging since ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]''. Also like ''Studio Series'', the boxes are now less decorated than their predecessors, replacing the full package artwork with an all-black design that has art of the figure’s robot and alternate forms on one side of the window, with the robot form on the left side of the box and the toyline’s poster on the right, and little graphics on the front showing the toy’s step count.
*The Thirteen’s roster (and many of their designs and artifacts) are pulled from [[2013]]’s ''[[Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus]]'', with the [[Thirteenth Prime]] represented by Optimus Prime in his [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Return of Convoy|Star Convoy]] form.
*''Age of the Primes'' coincides with the Thirteen's major role in the theatrical film ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]''.
*The Thirteen's boxes feature subtly distinct livery from the "mortal" figures in the line: their names and transformation step callouts are rendered in gold rather than the usual white, and their [[Insignia/Gallery#Religious symbols|personal sigils]] developed for [[2018]]'s ''[[Power of the Primes (franchise)|Power of the Primes]]'' take the place of faction symbols.
*Unlike the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' and ''Legacy'' toylines, which were each three years long, ''Age of the Primes'' is only two years.<ref name=usedtwice /><ref>{{citesocial|quote= 2026 and 2025 are linked together, I can say that, and if you can believe it we’re already starting to think a little bit about 2027.|link=https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/08/03/sdcc-2024-hasbro-interview-john-wardens-return-generations-studio-series-combiners-more-513802|name=John Warden|site=TFW2005|title=SDCC 2024 Hasbro Interview – John Warden’s Return, Generations, Studio Series, Combiners, More!|year=2024|month=08|day=03}}</ref> Also unlike those lines, it will not be rebranded with a new name for the second year.<ref>{{citesocial|quote= Yes, 2026 will also be Age of the Primes.|link=https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/2025-generations-listings-united-wave-5-age-of-the-primes.1259609/page-1203#post-22990969|name=Evan Brooks|site=Instagram|year=2025|month=01|day=04}}</ref>
*''Age of the Primes'' was previously teased with the releases of ''Legacy'' [[Vector Prime#Legacy|Vector Prime]] and [[Malleus Minotaurus]], the former of whom was later featured on official art for the toyline.
*Though it continues to include characters from all parts of the brand’s history, ''Age of the Primes'' mostly drops the universe designations from their names.
*The majority of the figures in the toyline are identified as direct descendants of one of the Thirteen through something referred to as an "[[Energon bloodline]]" in another element derived from the Covenant, though use of the phrase "bloodline" for the concept raises some [[Reproduction|serious questions]].
*The [[Liokaiser#Legacy|Liokaiser box set]] that constituted the [[2025]] [[Hasbro Pulse#HasLab|HasLab campaign]] was branded as part of the prior ''Legacy'' line to maintain consistency with the previous [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|''Victory'']]-based Haslab Transformers<ref>{{citesocial|quote=We decided to make Liokaiser part of Legacy mainly for branding reasons. With HasLabs, a lot of fans tend to keep those figures in the box, which is a bit different from how most people collect the mainline figures.

*Due to ''[[Studio Series]]'' taking the Titan Class slot, [[2026]] is the first year since the inception of the price point where the main [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|''Generations'']] imprint has gone without a Titan Class figure. Because of this, two Commander Class figures (Onslaught and Jetfire) were slated for this year.

{{disambig3|Scourge}}

:''Scourge is a [[Terrorcon (ROTB)|Terrorcon]] from the [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]] portion of the [[Movie continuity family]].''

[[File:Scourge Render.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66|I'm here to see MF DOOM.]]

'''Scourge''' is the most fearsome hunter in the universe and the ruthless leader of the Terrorcons. Scourge commands his Terrorcons to pillage and leave chaos in their wake, to continue their mission to conquer thousands of worlds under [[Unicron]]'s command. He is a ferocious but patient killer who makes sure that all who oppose him or his master will die, and his body is covered with insignias claimed as grisly trophies of his many kills. However, make no mistake, Scourge is Unicron's servant, and any failure on his part is immediately punished with extreme pain. It is a testament to Scourge's skill that he rarely fails.

As part of his servitude to the dark god, Scourge has been imbued with a dark energy that gives him power beyond the measure of most ordinary Transformers, making him all but invulnerable. In the event any would-be victim attempts to escape his grasp, he is capable of infecting them, slowly and painfully corrupting them into a puppet for his will. On occasions when he is unable or unwilling to reach his targets, he is able to deploy [[Freezer]] and [[Novakane]], a pair of fearsome [[Sweep (ROTB)|Sweep]]s, from within his body to sniff out his prey for him.

[[File:Beautiful world.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|ki-ki-ki ma-ma-ma-monkey]]
Scourge hailed from a [[Cybertronian colonies|world]] that was destroyed by [[Unicron]], perhaps in a time beyond the modern era, leaving him as the only survivor. He sold his [[spark|soul]] to the monster planet and became his most terrifying hunter, becoming known throughout the universe. Throughout his time under the sway of the chaos bringer, he had often traveled to various other regions in space and fought countless Transformers of different factions, taking their [[insignia]]s as trophies and placing them all over his body.

[[File:Scourge about to blast bee.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.66|When this ends, I'll have a cheetah skin hanging on my wall. I don't care ''whose.'']]
As Unicron approached the homeworld of the [[Maximal]]s, Scourge, accompanied by [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Scorponok (ROTB)|Scorponok]]s, was sent ahead to retrieve their [[Transwarp Key]], so his master might feed on planets across space and time. He confronted the Maximal leader [[Apelinq (ROTB)|Apelinq]], taunting that their planet would make a savory meal for Unicron, yet the dark god would spare their home if they surrendered the Key. When the noble Maximal refused, Scourge welcomed the fight, easily besting him and tearing away his insignia to add to his collection. But Apelinq's sacrifice had bought enough time for the other Maximals to escape with the key, foiling Scourge's mission. He was then ordered by his master to scour the universe until the Key was found.

In the year [[1994]], Scourge was drawn to [[Earth]] by the recently activated Transwarp Key, landing in the [[East River]] in [[New York City]] with his loyal [[Terrorcon (ROTB)|Terrorcon]] accomplices [[Battletrap (ROTB)|Battletrap]] and [[Nightbird (ROTB)|Nightbird]]. As they emerged from the water, he promptly ordered Nightbird to search the island, confirming the Transwarp Key's signature emanated from a museum on Ellis Island. After instructing his [[Sweep (ROTB)|Sweeps]] [[Freezer]] and [[Novakane]] to sniff out [[Elena Wallace]] and [[Noah Díaz]], who were in possession of the Key, Scourge engaged with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and his Autobot forces alongside Battletrap and Nightbird. Despite the Autobots' valiant efforts, Scourge managed to outperform Optimus in combat. Scourge killed [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] when he tried to intervene in the battle, but before he could finish Prime, the Maximal [[Airazor (ROTB)|Airazor]] arrived and the Terrorcons departed, having got what they came for.

[[File:ROTB-Scourgealtmode.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|So cool you only see it twice.]]
Scourge reported back to Unicron with the retrieved key, only to discover that the Terrorcons only had half of the actual key; split by the Maximals as a last resort against Unicron's servants. Unicron mentally tortured the Terrorcon leader as punishment, demanding that his followers return with the completed key.

Eventually, the Terrorcons arrived in [[Peru]] to track down the Autobots and their human allies, with Scourge deploying Freezer to capture the humans. The Terrorcons chased the Autobots on the Peruvian highway, culminating in Scourge tackling Prime down the mountain. Before the Autobots escaped Scourge's advances, he infected Airazor with Unicron's foul energy, which eventually corrupted her into Scourge's minion. Following Noah's reluctant attempt to destroy the other half of the Transwarp Key, Scourge stole it and ordered Airazor to kill her former comrades, forcing her leader, [[Optimus Primal (ROTB)|Optimus Primal]], to kill her in act of mercy. Relocating with his minions to a nearby volcano, he used the complete key's power to create the Transwarp tower capable of allowing Unicron to access Earth.

[[File:ROTB Scourge unmasked.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66|''I once had strings, but now I'm free... There are no strings on me...'']]

The Autobots and Maximals soon staged an assault and he ordered his cohorts to defend the tower. After summoning a giant army of Sweeps, Scourge stood his guard at the tower's control panel. He was attacked by [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]] alone to keep his attention away from Noah and Elena's efforts to deactivate the beam, but despite his mask being kicked from his face, he was able to defeat the two, near-killing Mirage and leaving Noah for dead under his comatose body. He then dispatched Novakane to eliminate Elena and inadvertently contributed to Nightbird's death in his attempts to fire on the revived Bumblebee. Noah restarted the fight minutes later, now wearing an [[Exosuit|exo-suit]] courtesy of Mirage, and was joined by Optimus Prime. Scourge fought on fiercely but would eventually be overpowered by the combined forces of Noah and Prime after suffering a stab to the back of the leg from the human. Beginning to lose the fight, he begged Unicron for reinforcements before spitefully destroying the control panel to ensure his master's victory. A furious Prime then forced him into an open lava flow, cleaved off both his arms and finally decapitated him.

As his body sunk into the lava, Prime forcefully removed Bumblebee's stolen Autobot insignia from his frame. Scourge's efforts failed as the key and tower were destroyed, with his remains pulled into the collapsing portal. Scourge's [[Terrorcon landing craft|ship]] was later recovered for study by [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]].{{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts}}
{{note|Scourge's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the books "[[Mission at the Museum]]" and "[[The Search Is On]]".}}

*During a football game, Scourge was not impressed by quarterback {{w|Josh Allen}}'s throw, or the announcers claiming that "he's got a cannon for an arm". Scourge decided to show the pathetic humans the power of a ''real'' arm cannon, but it needed a minute to warm up. After his arm cannon blew up a nearby mountain, the referee gave Scourge a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP1j-ZFwjK0 Josh Allen & Peppa Pig Caught in Transformer “Crossfire” | A Mountain of Entertainment™ | Paramount+]</ref>

:Released as part of the eleventh wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Leader Class figures, Scourge transforms into an unlicensed approximation of an armoured Peterbilt 359 in 31 steps, with his cannon cleverly forming the plow and barrel on his truck bed. His left arm detaches at the elbow to swap with the cannon. When not in use, the arm can store on his back while the cannon attaches behind his waist. Scourge is compatible with [[Freezer#Studio Series|Core Class Freezer]] or [[Novakane#Studio Series|Novakane]], who become hand-held blasters or mount on the truck bed. He features black-painted pins and screws to maintain his dark color scheme, and comes with an "Attack at the Museum" backdrop.

:Like the majority of ''Studio Series'' figures from ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]'', Scourge is based on an [https://www.instagram.com/p/CtumV1EPO0j/ early concept design].

:The hexagonal hinges required for transformation, added with the fact that Scourge's truck cab is entirely clear plastic, can cause the plastic to crack. Shaving the ridge on the hexagon will fix this, but exercise caution when transforming the figure. His neck has a tendency to pop off very easily at the base, due to the shortness of the post it's attached to compared to the surrounding plastic. His head is on a separate ball joint on the top of his neck, so it can be beneficial to use superglue on the defective post to keep his head attached with minimal loss of articulation. Some copies also have loose smokestacks.

:On the TakaraTomy release of this figure, the grill piece is molded to use a friction peg connection, whereas the Hasbro version uses a pin connection.<ref>[https://twitter.com/tfmysticalabyss/status/1695708859669848465 Twitter post showing the difference between Hasbro and TakaraTomy's versions of SS Scourge]</ref> This version also advertises the Freezer/Novakane combination on the box.

:Hasbro revealed the figure on [[January 30]], 2023. Scourge was [[package refresh|re-released]] in 2026 in the twenty-second wave of Leader Classes, with updated packaging to match the brand style at the time, which omits the backdrop. Though the toy is the same, the box art was updated to his film design.

==Notes==
[[File:Stevencaplejr terrorcon cast.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Wednesday Addams called dibs when she's ready for her first car.]]
*Scourge's alt-mode was first revealed via [[Steven Caple Jr.]]'s Instagram account on [[October 6|6 October]] [[2021]], along with the other two senior Terrorcons, [[Battletrap (ROTB)|Battletrap]] and [[Nightbird (ROTB)|Nightbird]].
*Scourge's design as a large evil semi-truck evokes the [[Scourge (RID)|''Robots in Disguise'' holder of the name]]. It's also worth noting that [[Megatron (Movie)|this series's Megatron]] also adopted a similarly ''Mad Max''-esque truck form during the events of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]''.
*Scourge's drones are named [[Sweep (ROTB)|Sweeps]] in reference to the [[Sweep (G1)|henchmen]] of the [[Scourge (G1)|original Scourge]].
*Scourge's grill is decorated with insignia "trophies" taken from his slain enemies, which transform into his arms and shoulders in robot mode. Looking closely, one can identify [[Autobot]], [[Decepticon]], [[Maximal]], [[Mercenary]], [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]], and [[Wreckers|Wrecker]] (specifically the [[:File:Wreckeridw.png|two-hammer symbol]] that debuted in ''[[Transformers: Wreckers—Tread & Circuits|Tread & Circuits]]'') insignias. This may be a reference to the 1971 film ''Duel'' (directed by [[Steven Spielberg]]), which featured a [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067023/mediaviewer/rm1887906560?ref_=ttmi_mi_all_sf_18 similar evil truck with "trophies" along the grill] in the form of license plates (and ''Duel'' has been [[Nemesis Prime (episode)|referenced in Transformers before]]).
**At minimum, Scourge has 22 insignias from the various factions listed above on his truck grille. In robot mode however, he appears to have (approximately) 26 spread across his shoulders, biceps & forearms, including an [[Elite Guard|Autobot Elite Guard]] insignia. There are an estimated 62[https://youtu.be/Co72nQwPzSg] cumulative insignia spread across his body through both modes:
***20 Autobots
***13 Decepticons
***9 Maximals
***9 Predacons
***5 Mercenaries
***2 Elite Guards
***4 Wreckers
**Scourge also had at least two additional Terrorcon insignias on the chest/front grill of his Studio Series toy, but was never seen in the final film.
*Before the Terrorcon insignia was finalized, early concept art of Scourge used the Mercenary<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://www.instagram.com/p/CuFi11Hy14X/?img_index=3|name=Eddie Del Rio|site=Instagram|year=2023|month=06|day=29}}</ref> and Decepticon insignia as placeholders for his mask.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Also, to clear up any confusion as to why he has a Decepticon mask instead of the Terrorcon one that was in the movie. It was a temp placement. I was waiting on the Terrorcon logo to be designed while I was working on him. He was never supposed to be Tarn.|link=https://www.instagram.com/p/CuaR213yn3I/?img_index=1|name=Eddie Del Rio|site=Instagram|year=2023|month=07|day=07}}</ref>
*Scourge's toys feature inaccurate colors compared to the movie. The CG model in the film features a very dark brown/silver, rusted color scheme, and the only toy that almost hits the mark is his ''Studio Series'' figure (which is really only missing more rust details, amongst other things). Presumably for marketing purposes like [[Dinobot (AOE)|those before him]], the rest of his toys range from varying shades of brown/caramel to a dull green.
*Earlier cuts of ''Rise of the Beasts'' featured some extra dialogue that seemed to suggest that Scourge was originally going to be an unwilling servant of Unicron, not unlike [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

First revealed at New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], the '''''Transformers: Studio Series''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Studio Series''''') toyline is a celebration under the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' banner of over ten years of [[live-action film series|films]], with characters from every movie represented. It has also coincided with ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]'', and ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'', acting as the collector-oriented tie-in for these films, similar to ''Generations'' for the ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]'' toyline. ''Studio Series'' would later add toys based on ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' and video games such as ''[[Transformers: Devastation]]''.

In the first seven years of the toyline, each figure was numbered with an indication of their movie of origin and came with a cardboard backdrop–the eponymous "studio"<ref>{{citesocial|quote=It's called "Studio Series" partly because Hasbro envisioned fans using the included backdrops as miniature "studios" when taking photos of the toys for social media.|link=https://twitter.com/tfwiki/status/1136078338706104320|name=Transformers Wiki (Matthew Karpowich)|site=Twitter|year=2019|month=06|day=05}}</ref>–depicting a notable scene from their respective fictional appearance. Backdrops were often repeated between separate figures to represent the same scene, and were rescaled accordingly for toys in different [[size class]]es.

With rough robot mode [[scale]] as a line-wide goal, each figure is sized in relation to other toys, even in the same size class; within the Deluxe Class, 18 Bumblebee is shorter than 10 Jazz and 01 Bumblebee, who are in turn shorter than 04 Ratchet and 11 Lockdown.

The toyline boasts greater [[show-accuracy|screen-accuracy]] than previous lines, due its focus on relative scale and its making use of CG models pulled from films or games for reference when possible. This approach does fall short for the initial toys from all the concurrent movies though, as they were designed early in their respective film's development.

{{note|The following is an overview of the toyline in release order. For the toys listed by their franchise branding, see '''[[Studio Series/By franchise]]'''.}}
===2018===
The first year of ''Studio Series'' saw the core Autobot cast from ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' right out the gate along with a healthy spread of figures from other films, including the concurrently released ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]''.

====Exclusives====
The earliest exclusives in ''Studio Series'' were hit hard by the bankruptcy of [[Toys"R"Us]] in several countries. Thundercracker was only available for a very short window at TRU, and only in store. Likewise, the Bumblebee/Charlie 2-pack was also intended for Toys"R"Us, but ultimately only released that way in Canada, which still had Toys"R"Us by the time it came out. Both releases were eventually made available through numerous online retailers such as [[BigBadToyStore]], [[Entertainment Earth]], ToyWiz, and TFSource.

The Bumblebee Then & Now Two-pack was exclusive to [[Target]] and BigBadToyStore in the United States and to Kmart in Australia. The Bumblebee Vol. 1 Retro Rock Garage set debuted at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2018 and was later also made available via [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]. The Bumblebee Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway set appears to have been an "online exclusive" shared between the same retailers that offered Thundercracker and Bumblebee/Charlie. We say "appear" because the Retro Pop Highway set was ''also'' available at GameStop stores in the United States, ''and'' both sets were ''also'' listed in Diamond Comic Distributors' ''Previews'' catalog, so really the only "exclusivity" for these appears to be that neither of them is available from [[Walmart]] or Target.

;Asia only
Meanwhile, in Hasbro Asia markets: a special Bumblebee with battle damage deco was [[Campaign item|given away]] to customers who purchased at least 100 SGD of ''Studio Series'' and/or ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' products in Singaporean Toys"R"Us stores; and in China, the purchase of ''Studio Series'' products from Hasbro's official TaoBao online shop on May 15, 2018, entered buyers into a lucky draw with the chance of receiving one of 300 battle damaged Bumblebees or one of 88 Blackouts in camouflage deco.

===2019===
Falling on the tenth anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', the [[2019]] product saw a return of the film's starring combiners, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS32|Jetwing Optimus Prime]] and a hugely ambitious [[Devastator (ROTF)#Studio Series|Devastator]], which necessitated a release over two years.

As with the previous year's Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway, the Drift and Baby Dinobots set was available from multiple online retailers. Battle Damaged Megatron was first found stocked by Hong Kong shops, long before it was available both online and in store at Toys"R"Us in Canada and Target in the U.S.

"As Seen In Parks" Megatron was officially exclusive to Universal Studios, but was released (almost a ''year'' after he had been officially revealed) in Hasbro's Asian markets first. Due to the global {{w|COVID-19 pandemic}}, the toy was ended up being released exclusively via online retailers in the U.S.

===2020===
[[2020]] ended up being, to date, the final year of the line to focus exclusively on the live-action film series with following years introducing other franchises to ''Studio Series''. This year saw the completion of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Devastator while ''Dark of the Moon'' received a lot of focus ahead of the film's 10th anniversary with toys for major players like Sentinel Prime and Shockwave. Finally, Megatron would receive a toy based on his 2007 design, completing that film's main Decepticon line-up after two years (well, except the tiny [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]]).

===2021===
For [[2021]]'s new product, ''Studio Series'' started to include characters from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', in celebration of the film's 35th anniversary. These toys feature a separate numbering system in Hasbro markets that utilizes "86" before the number of the respective figure. The '86 figures follow the same style, scale and play pattern of those from the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' toyline, complete with [[Fire Blast effect|blast effect]] compatibility and [[5 mm post|5 mm port]]s that can support the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. The introduction of '86 figures unfortunately came at the expense of the live-action movie Dinobots who were put on the back burner in favor of the '86 Dinobots. Gnaw also makes the first non-Autobot or Decepticon entry in the toyline.

===2022===
In [[2022]], ''Studio Series'' adopted the Core Class price point that debuted in the ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' toyline, producing both characters too small for Deluxe Class as well as pocket-sized versions of the main cast like in [[Legends Class (2005)|days of yore]]. Notably, unlike the larger figures in the line, the toys in the Core Class are not numbered.

2022 also saw the first shift in the line’s packaging design, conforming to Hasbro’s initiative to reduce packaging waste. Box sizes were slightly reduced, with plastic clamshells and windows phased out in favor of decorated cardboard backings and small open windows respectively. Leader Class figures switched to a completely closed box design. Core Classes do not have the display backdrops, but retain the new decorated cardboard backings.

====Exclusives====
2022 saw the first in a line of exclusives themed around [[NEST]] in the online exclusive N.E.S.T. Bumblebee, a new assortment of ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Deluxes from Target, and a special commemorative multi-pack of Autobots for the 15th anniversary of ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' available at [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]].

In late 2022, a second wave of ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Deluxes were briefly listed by the wholesaler NDA Toys, with accompanying stock renders, and seemed to fill the pair of conspicuous gaps in the ''Studio Series'' numbering system. A listing for a third wavemate was also discovered months later. Unfortunately, Target opted to cancel their release due to poor sales of the previous wave.<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/original-plans-for-individual-releases-of-hatchet-and-earth-mode-hound-were-cancelled/48011/ "Original Plans for Individual Releases of Hatchet and Earth Mode Hound were Cancelled"] at Seibertron.</ref> Hound was eventually released in 2024 for ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' and Hatchet and Bumblebee in 2025 for the main ''Studio Series'' line.

===2023===
''Studio Series'' expanded in scope in [[2023]], not only with toys for ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]''–the first new ''Transformers'' movie since the line's early days–but also into the world of the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' video game. These "Gamer Edition" toys feature unique packaging and a separate numbering system that we've chosen to represent as beginning with a plus (+), though the actual toy packaging stylizes the symbol as a little D-pad. Neat! It also introduced the Commander Class range of figures from ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', starting with Ultra Magnus, who was revealed at San Diego Comic Con 2023 by [[Flint Dille]].

====Exclusives====
There were further releases in ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' this year, some of which continued the range of NEST-themed redecoes, and none of which were released in waves or regular assortments. Another ''Transformers'' 15th anniversary set, this time for most of the Decepticons, was available on Amazon.

===2024===
[[2024]] introduced figures marked as "Concept Art" releases–based on character designs created for films which ultimately did not appear in the finished product. ''Bumblebee'', having left a variety of designs on the cutting room floor during its tumultuous post-production, was the primary source for this initial round of "Concept Art" releases. Figures from the unreleased ''[[Transformers: Reactivate]]'' game would also be added under the "Gamer Edition" banner, sharing its numbering system, while the long-running ''The Transformers: The Movie'' Dinobots lineup came to a close this year with Swoop.

Another addition for 2024 was the "A-Level" assortment, a concept being introduced across multiple Hasbro collector lines to distribute toys of high-profile, in-demand characters outside of the normal wave-based assortments, meaning they can remain available for retailers to order (and thus for fans to buy) for a longer period of time. The inaugural ''Studio Series'' A-Level Deluxe Class case was home to the first toy for the concurrent ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'' film; taking advantage of the film's standalone nature, Hasbro chose to decrease the scale of its ''Studio Series'' toys for affordability, placing leaders Optimus Prime and Megatron in Deluxe rather than their more typical Voyager or Leader size classes.<ref>[[April 25]], [[2024]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s06YE02e844 Hasbro Pulse Transformers Fanstream | April 2024] on YouTube, with [[Ben MacCrae]], [[Mark Maher]], and [[Evan Brooks]].</ref>

Leader Class figures would finally adopt the open-window packaging design of the other size classes this year, while thicker cardboard was used for all boxes aside from the Core Class.

Except for the Deluxes, the first wave was made available early alongside ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Legacy United|Legacy: United]]'' products at [[Singapore Comic Con#2023|Cybertron Fest 2023]].

====Exclusives====
With the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' branding being rotated out of circulation, its signature Target-exclusive cartoon-style redecoes of ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toys were released in normal ''Studio Series'' packaging. Another Amazon "15th Anniversary" multipack was released, this time for ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''. Similar to the [[#Exclusives|first year]] of ''Studio Series'', a limited amount of specially painted Optimus Primes were given to people who spent at least HKD$3000 at the Hasbro Hong Kong Fans Expo 2024. There were also Target exclusive reissues of 49 Bumblebee and 51 Soundwave.

===2025===
Beginning with 2025's spring wave, the line's packaging was completely refreshed for the first time, notably seeing a return to plastic windows and the abandonment of the line's signature ID numbers and backdrop displays, on a new design in alignment with the concurrent ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'' toyline.<ref>[https://youtu.be/70HJMtOWpk0?list=TLPQMjcxMDIwMjSvhwDwAHRwJQ&t=1092 1027 Hasbro Pulse Premium Event 2024!] with [[Nate Purswell]], [[Evan Brooks]], and [[Mark Maher]], on the official [[Hasbro Pulse]] Youtube channel</ref> In this vein, the unique "Gamer Edition" branding for video game-based toys was removed. ''Studio Series''’s media-based theming was maintained by featuring backdrop-like artwork on the side of the box and a screenshot or marketing image of the character on the top left of the back of the box.

''Studio Series'' also began shifting from four waves per year to three, reducing the amount of repacked figures in a wave and allowing more time for each wave to stay on shelves. As part of these changes, 2025's initial winter wave served as a sort of stopgap offering, comprised of multiple [[package refresh]]es (including two previously cancelled ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Deluxe figures!) and redecoes, functioning like an additional wave of 2024 product prior to the spring relaunch.<ref>"Like United wave 5, this wave is somewhat of a last minute addition while being as cost effective as possible, it’s also why we haven’t seen the updated mainline packaging yet because it’s kind of considered a extension of the 2024 lineup."—[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/hasbro-at-mcm-london-comic-con-25-27-october.1268848/page-15#post-22808424 Jtprime17, TFW2005, 2024/10/26]</ref> Tragically, the Core Class was discontinued.

[[2025]] saw another combiner in ''The Transformers: The Movie'' [[Devastator (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Devastator]]. Learning from previous combiner releases, all six Constructicons were scheduled to be released within one calendar year to make them easier to collect. The toyline also saw the addition of the ''[[Transformers: Devastation]]'' video game, celebrating its tenth anniversary.

====Exclusives====
The "MTMTE Collection" is Target's new subline of exclusives in North America, replacing ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''. Overload's product description also labelled it as the "Power Collection." Amazon continued its trend of faction-based "15th anniversary" sets, though such branding has been omitted from this year's packaging. Similar to last year, the Hasbro Hong Kong Fans Expo 2025 saw another limited run of hand-painted Optimus Primes given out for for spending at least HKD$5000 at the booth.

===2026===
[[2026]] would finally see the introduction of Titan Class to ''Studio Series'' with a remake of ''Age of Extinction'' Grimlock after 8 years, along with a promise to actually finish his [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot team]] this time around. In a sort of trade, ''Studio Series'' getting the annual Titan release saw its usual Commander figure being moved to ''Age of the Primes'' to give it two figures in the price point. ''Studio Series'' also saw the addition of the [[Energon Universe]], the toyline's first endeavor into ''Transformers'' comics. The year also had a heavy focus on ''The Transformers: The Movie'' figures for the film's 40th anniversary, notably featuring a stylistic change to new molds and retools of characters from this film: heavily reducing the extra sculpted details carried over from the [[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]] design philosophy in the name of better screen-accuracy. This did not preclude them from reusing molds from that era, however.

==TakaraTomy ''Studio Series'' toyline==
Similar to ''Power of the Primes'', in Takara's '''''Transformers Studio Series''''' (トランスフォーマースタジオシリーズ ''Toransufōmā Sutajio Shirīzu'') line, all figures are identical to their Hasbro counterparts, forgoing Takara's past practice of using more movie-accurate paint jobs. This is most likely due to the line being an official collaboration between Hasbro and [[TakaraTomy]], much like the ''[[Transformers: Masterpiece Movie Series|Masterpiece Movie Series]]'' line. ID numbering differs after number 8 compared to the Hasbro releases, since some of the exclusives are not released in Japan. Introduced to the line in 2021, Takara includes characters from ''The Transformers: The Movie'' in its pre-existing ''Studio Series'' numbering system, whereas Hasbro assigns them ID numbers prefixed by "86". Takara also assigns ID numbers to Core Class figures, which go unnumbered in Hasbro markets. From wave 4 through wave 12, the packages featured the franchise's 35th anniversary logo. Toys would eventually use entirely closed boxes starting with wave 29.

{{note|Toys in italics are exclusive to the TakaraTomy line.}}

===''Premium Finish''===
{{nav-pf}}
In 2021, TakaraTomy decided to go back to its old ways and launched the short-lived ''[[Transformers Premium Finish|Premium Finish]]'' toyline, featuring re-releases of some ''Studio Series'' figures with much more movie-accurate decoes. This line has its own numbering system, and, with the exception of the first Bumblebee, also notes the figure's movie of origin. ''Premium Finish'' was imported to western markets via [[Hasbro Pulse]].

==Merchandise==
A wearable Bumblebee helmet was released as a Target exclusive, tying into the ''Bumblebee'' film, similar to the Optimus Prime helmet made for ''The Last Knight''. A series of [[Jada Toys]] ''Hollywood Rides'' vehicles were also made to tie into ''Studio Series'', using the toyline's packaging style and even a couple of backdrop artworks, though they were also released in generic non-''Studio Series'' packaging.

In 2026, role play items made a return with a Matrix of Leadership for the 40th anniversary of ''The Transformers: The Movie''.

==Notes==
*In July 2017, photos of a computer screen taken during an internal Hasbro presentation were leaked to the public that revealed, among other things, the very ''existence'' of the ''Studio Series'' general retail line-up, though not the actual title "Studio Series" yet (which was later revealed through separate leaks). The fact that the slides incorrectly featured projected release dates for "2017" instead of 2018 (which included dates ''predating'' the leak) led some fans to assume that the still unannounced line-up had long since been canceled. It wouldn't be until several leaks later that Hasbro ''finally'' acknowledged the existence of the ''Studio Series'' line, and revealed the first few [[wave]]s during New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], even offering a limited quantity of the first wave of Deluxe Class figures as an early release through the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] website. Simultaneously, [[TakaraTomy]] revealed their version of the line at [[Wonder Festival]] Winter 2018.
*Among the figures whose existence was revealed through the aforementioned July 2017 leak that were ''not'' officially unveiled at Toy Fair was Voyager Class Ironhide, who made his worldwide debut at retail in Singapore in June 2018. Subsequently, Hasbro announced the redeco of Voyager Class Starscream (based on his appearance in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''), the final figure revealed through the July 2017 leak, via their "[[Hasbro Pulse]]" Instagram account a few days before [[San Diego Comic-Con]], even though they ''still'' hadn't officially acknowledged the existence of Ironhide by that point.
*Like with previous movie-based lines, ''Studio Series'' also assigned code names to at least some of its characters. In 2018, the "theme" for those code names was "Australian race horses":
{{collist|3|
:::*Bumblebee: "Stryker"
:::*Dropkick: "Blue Lightning" or "Blue Light"
:::*Megatron: "Fox"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Radar"
:::*KSI Sentry: "Sentry"
:::*Shadow Raider: "Mercenary"
:::*Shatter: "Red Lightning" or "Red Light"
}}
:The code names of many of the other figures, assuming they even ''had'' code names, are still unknown, as those toys have (thus far) consistently been listed under their actual characters' names. Meanwhile, a listing for a supposed Voyager Class figure using the code name "Destroyer" later turned out to be a mislabeled Energon Igniters Speed Series [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Bumblebee|Barricade]] from the [[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|''Bumblebee'' movie toyline]], with which the ''Studio Series'' shares its code names.
*A few of the Deluxes and Voyagers of the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)#Generations .28Series M4.29|previous]] [[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)#Premier Edition|two]] movie toylines scale fairly well with ''Studio Series'' figures. To this extent, [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys 5|a]] [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#ThirdTLKDeluxe|few]] [[Nitro Zeus#Toys|molds]] [[Cogman#Deluxe|were]] also redecoed in this toyline as well [[Nitro Zeus#Toys|as a]] [[Drift (AOE)#Premier Edition|few]] [[Berserker#Toys|retools]]. Furthermore, the static figurine of [[Quintessa (TLK)#Toys|Quintessa]] scales well among these toys and also seems to serve as an inspiration for later pack-in figurines like [[Wheelie (ROTF)#Studio Series|Wheelie]], [[Brains#Studio Series|Brains]], and the [[Mini Dinobot#Toys|Mini Dinobot]]s.
*One of the biggest [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers|misconceptions]] surrounding the ''Studio Series'' toyline is that there is a [[Subline imprint|subline]] called "Studio Series 86". This came about from leaked listings on Walmart's website where the number "86" was misinterpreted as part of the toyline's title, rather than the ID numbers of those toys. While the toys based on characters from the [[1986]] movie do feature a separate numbering system, the line itself doesn't acknowledge them as being any different from the live-action movie toys they are sold alongside. That being said, ''‘86'' as a shorthand for ''The Transformers: The Movie'' figures saw widespread use amongst fans and even the toy designers, eventually appearing in official marketing material as well.<ref>[[July 25]], [[2025]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T18IQaMuGVk?t=1038 Transformers Brand Panel Recap | SDCC 2025 | Hasbro Pulse] on YouTube, with [[Mark Maher]], [[Evan Brooks]], and [[Nate Purswell]].</ref>
**While it has never been confirmed, the move to include 1986 characters in the ''Studio Series'' toyline after three years of continuous focus on the live-action films, was likely done to allow Hasbro and TakaraTomy to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the film, without stepping on the toes of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' 25th anniversary, which was celebrated as a part of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''. Evidence suggesting this is the inclusion of some of the film's main characters ([[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Kingdom|Cyclonus]], [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Kingdom|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#Kingdom|Galvatron]]) being sold in the concurrently-ran ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' toyline and the shared design aesthetics of the toys between both lines.
*Due to the cancellation of Hound, the toyline's numbering system is missing 86-18. Additionally, 79, 86-13, 86-20, 95, and 96 are only assigned to the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' version of the line.
**74 ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee and 102 ''Rise of the Beasts'' Optimus Prime are the only toys to be re-released in the regular line after debuting in ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''.
**TakaraTomy's version of the line has skipped over "72" for unknown reasons.
**Junkion Scrapheap and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Ironhide both use the 86-24 number. Optimus Prime and Galvatron also share the number 86-31.
*The last wave to use ID numbers in 2025 was quite a mess. Perhaps they just gave up in the face of its impending doom.
**As mentioned above, Galvatron reused Optimus Prime's number of 86-31.
**Hatchet's original ID number for his cancelled ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' release was 94. When he was finally released 2 years later, his packaging had the number 117, but his product description and instructions still used 94.
**The original ID number for the cancelled Bumblebee from the same wave is unknown, as there are no other gaps that it might have occupied. The main line release's product description and stock photos used 117 like Hatchet, but 116 is the only number present on the final product.
**Apelinq's stock photos, product description, backdrop, and instructions use 116, while only the box (and a small number of backdrops) uses 118, the last number in Hasbro's line.
*The instructions of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' "[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Worlds Collide]]" set mistakenly label it as part of ''Studio Series'', under the ''Transformers'' movie.
*The introduction of the "Gamer Edition" banner led Hasbro to review the full back catalogue of [[video games]] they retained ownership over, including more esoteric options, such as the [[Family Computer|Nintendo Famicom]] ''[[Transformers: Mystery of Convoy]]'' or the [[Nintendo 64]] ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals (N64)|Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals]]!''<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Pretty much all of it. Think the clear winner will probably be, everybody wants some Devastation stuff, we need to figure out how to do some cell shading for it. Continuing from WFC, think FOC is on the table.

Why not some N64 Transmetals too? We can get some of that in there, there’s a lot of options. If it’s been in a video game, we have the opportunity to look at it, taking a little bit of a cue from what the Star Wars team did with their gamer stuff. There’s no licensing issues, we own all of that, it’s all on the table for us.

BluJayWarrior: /* 2026 */ new wave reveal from Screenrant

{{nav-studio}}
{{suite}}
[[File:StudioSeries-01-MV1-Deluxe-Bumblebee-w backdrop.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|From L'Oreal]]
First revealed at New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], the '''''Transformers: Studio Series''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Studio Series''''') toyline is a celebration under the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' banner of over ten years of [[live-action film series|films]], with characters from every movie represented. It has also coincided with ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]'', and ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'', acting as the collector-oriented tie-in for these films, similar to ''Generations'' for the ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]'' toyline. ''Studio Series'' would later add toys based on ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' and video games such as ''[[Transformers: Devastation]]''.

In the first seven years of the toyline, each figure was numbered with an indication of their movie of origin and came with a cardboard backdrop–the eponymous "studio"<ref>{{citesocial|quote=It's called "Studio Series" partly because Hasbro envisioned fans using the included backdrops as miniature "studios" when taking photos of the toys for social media.|link=https://twitter.com/tfwiki/status/1136078338706104320|name=Transformers Wiki (Matthew Karpowich)|site=Twitter|year=2019|month=06|day=05}}</ref>–depicting a notable scene from their respective fictional appearance. Backdrops were often repeated between separate figures to represent the same scene, and were rescaled accordingly for toys in different [[size class]]es.

With rough robot mode [[scale]] as a line-wide goal, each figure is sized in relation to other toys, even in the same size class; within the Deluxe Class, 18 Bumblebee is shorter than 10 Jazz and 01 Bumblebee, who are in turn shorter than 04 Ratchet and 11 Lockdown.

The toyline boasts greater [[show-accuracy|screen-accuracy]] than previous lines, due its focus on relative scale and its making use of CG models pulled from films or games for reference when possible. This approach does fall short for the initial toys from all the concurrent movies though, as they were designed early in their respective film's development.

====Exclusives====
The earliest exclusives in ''Studio Series'' were hit hard by the bankruptcy of [[Toys"R"Us]] in several countries. Thundercracker was only available for a very short window at TRU, and only in store. Likewise, the Bumblebee/Charlie 2-pack was also intended for Toys"R"Us, but ultimately only released that way in Canada, which still had Toys"R"Us by the time it came out. Both releases were eventually made available through numerous online retailers such as [[BigBadToyStore]], [[Entertainment Earth]], ToyWiz, and TFSource.

The Bumblebee Then & Now Two-pack was exclusive to [[Target]] and BigBadToyStore in the United States and to Kmart in Australia. The Bumblebee Vol. 1 Retro Rock Garage set debuted at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2018 and was later also made available via [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]. The Bumblebee Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway set appears to have been an "online exclusive" shared between the same retailers that offered Thundercracker and Bumblebee/Charlie. We say "appear" because the Retro Pop Highway set was ''also'' available at GameStop stores in the United States, ''and'' both sets were ''also'' listed in Diamond Comic Distributors' ''Previews'' catalog, so really the only "exclusivity" for these appears to be that neither of them is available from [[Walmart]] or Target.

Meanwhile, in Hasbro Asia markets: a special Bumblebee with battle damage deco was [[Campaign item|given away]] to customers who purchased at least 100 SGD of ''Studio Series'' and/or ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' products in Singaporean Toys"R"Us stores; and in China, the purchase of ''Studio Series'' products from Hasbro's official TaoBao online shop on May 15, 2018, entered buyers into a lucky draw with the chance of receiving one of 300 battle damaged Bumblebees or one of 88 Blackouts in camouflage deco.

===2019===
Falling on the tenth anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', the [[2019]] product saw a return of the film's starring combiners, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS32|Jetwing Optimus Prime]] and a hugely ambitious [[Devastator (ROTF)#Studio Series|Devastator]], which necessitated a release over two years.

====Exclusives====
As with the previous year's Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway, the Drift and Baby Dinobots set was available from multiple online retailers. Battle Damaged Megatron was first found stocked by Hong Kong shops, long before it was available both online and in store at Toys"R"Us in Canada and Target in the U.S.

"As Seen In Parks" Megatron was officially exclusive to Universal Studios, but was released (almost a ''year'' after he had been officially revealed) in Hasbro's Asian markets first. Due to the global {{w|COVID-19 pandemic}}, the toy was ended up being released exclusively via online retailers in the U.S.

===2020===
[[2020]] ended up being, to date, the final year of the line to focus exclusively on the live-action film series with following years introducing other franchises to ''Studio Series''. This year saw the completion of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Devastator while ''Dark of the Moon'' received a lot of focus ahead of the film's 10th anniversary with toys for major players like Sentinel Prime and Shockwave. Finally, Megatron would receive a toy based on his 2007 design, completing that film's main Decepticon line-up after two years (well, except the tiny [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]]).

2020 saw the release of Leadfoot at Target, the enormous Devastator box set at multiple retailers, and the beginnings of the Target exclusive ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' line in celebration of everybody's favourite little yellow Autobot.

===2021===
For [[2021]]'s new product, ''Studio Series'' started to include characters from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', in celebration of the film's 35th anniversary. These toys feature a separate numbering system in Hasbro markets that utilizes "86" before the number of the respective figure. The '86 figures follow the same style, scale and play pattern of those from the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' toyline, complete with [[Fire Blast effect|blast effect]] compatibility and [[5 mm post|5 mm port]]s that can support the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. The introduction of '86 figures unfortunately came at the expense of the live-action movie Dinobots who were put on the back burner in favor of the '86 Dinobots. Gnaw also makes the first non-Autobot or Decepticon entry in the toyline.

===2022===
In [[2022]], ''Studio Series'' adopted the Core Class price point that debuted in the ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' toyline, producing both characters too small for Deluxe Class as well as pocket-sized versions of the main cast like in [[Legends Class (2005)|days of yore]]. Notably, unlike the larger figures in the line, the toys in the Core Class are not numbered.

2022 also saw the first shift in the line’s packaging design, conforming to Hasbro’s initiative to reduce packaging waste. Box sizes were slightly reduced, with plastic clamshells and windows phased out in favor of decorated cardboard backings and small open windows respectively. Leader Class figures switched to a completely closed box design. Core Classes do not have the display backdrops, but retain the new decorated cardboard backings.

====Exclusives====
2022 saw the first in a line of exclusives themed around [[NEST]] in the online exclusive N.E.S.T. Bumblebee, a new assortment of ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Deluxes from Target, and a special commemorative multi-pack of Autobots for the 15th anniversary of ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' available at [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]].

In late 2022, a second wave of ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Deluxes were briefly listed by the wholesaler NDA Toys, with accompanying stock renders, and seemed to fill the pair of conspicuous gaps in the ''Studio Series'' numbering system. A listing for a third wavemate was also discovered months later. Unfortunately, Target opted to cancel their release due to poor sales of the previous wave.<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/original-plans-for-individual-releases-of-hatchet-and-earth-mode-hound-were-cancelled/48011/ "Original Plans for Individual Releases of Hatchet and Earth Mode Hound were Cancelled"] at Seibertron.</ref> Hound was eventually released in 2024 for ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' and Hatchet and Bumblebee in 2025 for the main ''Studio Series'' line.

===2023===
''Studio Series'' expanded in scope in [[2023]], not only with toys for ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]''–the first new ''Transformers'' movie since the line's early days–but also into the world of the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' video game. These "Gamer Edition" toys feature unique packaging and a separate numbering system that we've chosen to represent as beginning with a plus (+), though the actual toy packaging stylizes the symbol as a little D-pad. Neat! It also introduced the Commander Class range of figures from ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', starting with Ultra Magnus, who was revealed at San Diego Comic Con 2023 by [[Flint Dille]].

====Exclusives====
There were further releases in ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' this year, some of which continued the range of NEST-themed redecoes, and none of which were released in waves or regular assortments. Another ''Transformers'' 15th anniversary set, this time for most of the Decepticons, was available on Amazon.

===2024===
[[2024]] introduced figures marked as "Concept Art" releases–based on character designs created for films which ultimately did not appear in the finished product. ''Bumblebee'', having left a variety of designs on the cutting room floor during its tumultuous post-production, was the primary source for this initial round of "Concept Art" releases. Figures from the unreleased ''[[Transformers: Reactivate]]'' game would also be added under the "Gamer Edition" banner, sharing its numbering system, while the long-running ''The Transformers: The Movie'' Dinobots lineup came to a close this year with Swoop.

Another addition for 2024 was the "A-Level" assortment, a concept being introduced across multiple Hasbro collector lines to distribute toys of high-profile, in-demand characters outside of the normal wave-based assortments, meaning they can remain available for retailers to order (and thus for fans to buy) for a longer period of time. The inaugural ''Studio Series'' A-Level Deluxe Class case was home to the first toy for the concurrent ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'' film; taking advantage of the film's standalone nature, Hasbro chose to decrease the scale of its ''Studio Series'' toys for affordability, placing leaders Optimus Prime and Megatron in Deluxe rather than their more typical Voyager or Leader size classes.<ref>[[April 25]], [[2024]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s06YE02e844 Hasbro Pulse Transformers Fanstream | April 2024] on YouTube, with [[Ben MacCrae]], [[Mark Maher]], and [[Evan Brooks]].</ref>

Leader Class figures would finally adopt the open-window packaging design of the other size classes this year, while thicker cardboard was used for all boxes aside from the Core Class.

Except for the Deluxes, the first wave was made available early alongside ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Legacy United|Legacy: United]]'' products at [[Singapore Comic Con#2023|Cybertron Fest 2023]].

====Exclusives====
With the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' branding being rotated out of circulation, its signature Target-exclusive cartoon-style redecoes of ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toys were released in normal ''Studio Series'' packaging. Another Amazon "15th Anniversary" multipack was released, this time for ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''. Similar to the [[#Exclusives|first year]] of ''Studio Series'', a limited amount of specially painted Optimus Primes were given to people who spent at least HKD$3000 at the Hasbro Hong Kong Fans Expo 2024. There were also Target exclusive reissues of 49 Bumblebee and 51 Soundwave.

===2025===
Beginning with 2025's spring wave, the line's packaging was completely refreshed for the first time, notably seeing a return to plastic windows and the abandonment of the line's signature ID numbers and backdrop displays, on a new design in alignment with the concurrent ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'' toyline.<ref>[https://youtu.be/70HJMtOWpk0?list=TLPQMjcxMDIwMjSvhwDwAHRwJQ&t=1092 1027 Hasbro Pulse Premium Event 2024!] with [[Nate Purswell]], [[Evan Brooks]], and [[Mark Maher]], on the official [[Hasbro Pulse]] Youtube channel</ref> In this vein, the unique "Gamer Edition" branding for video game-based toys was removed. ''Studio Series''’s media-based theming was maintained by featuring backdrop-like artwork on the side of the box and a screenshot or marketing image of the character on the top left of the back of the box.

''Studio Series'' also began shifting from four waves per year to three, reducing the amount of repacked figures in a wave and allowing more time for each wave to stay on shelves. As part of these changes, 2025's initial winter wave served as a sort of stopgap offering, comprised of multiple [[package refresh]]es (including two previously cancelled ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Deluxe figures!) and redecoes, functioning like an additional wave of 2024 product prior to the spring relaunch.<ref>"Like United wave 5, this wave is somewhat of a last minute addition while being as cost effective as possible, it’s also why we haven’t seen the updated mainline packaging yet because it’s kind of considered a extension of the 2024 lineup."—[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/hasbro-at-mcm-london-comic-con-25-27-october.1268848/page-15#post-22808424 Jtprime17, TFW2005, 2024/10/26]</ref> Tragically, the Core Class was discontinued.

[[2025]] saw another combiner in ''The Transformers: The Movie'' [[Devastator (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Devastator]]. Learning from previous combiner releases, all six Constructicons were scheduled to be released within one calendar year to make them easier to collect. The toyline also saw the addition of the ''[[Transformers: Devastation]]'' video game, celebrating its tenth anniversary.

====Exclusives====
The "MTMTE Collection" is Target's new subline of exclusives in North America, replacing ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''. Overload's product description also labelled it as the "Power Collection." Amazon continued its trend of faction-based "15th anniversary" sets, though such branding has been omitted from this year's packaging. Similar to last year, the Hasbro Hong Kong Fans Expo 2025 saw another limited run of hand-painted Optimus Primes given out for for spending at least HKD$5000 at the booth.

===2026===
[[2026]] would finally see the introduction of Titan Class to ''Studio Series'' with a remake of ''Age of Extinction'' Grimlock after 8 years, along with a promise to actually finish his [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot team]] this time around. In a sort of trade, ''Studio Series'' getting the annual Titan release saw its usual Commander figure being moved to ''Age of the Primes'' to give it two figures in the price point. ''Studio Series'' also saw the addition of the [[Energon Universe]], the toyline's first endeavor into ''Transformers'' comics. The year also had a heavy focus on ''The Transformers: The Movie'' figures for the film's 40th anniversary, notably featuring a stylistic change to new molds and retools of characters from this film: heavily reducing the extra sculpted details carried over from the [[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]] design philosophy in the name of better screen-accuracy. This did not preclude them from reusing molds from that era, however.

{{anchor|TakaraTomy}}

==TakaraTomy ''Studio Series'' toyline==
Similar to ''Power of the Primes'', in Takara's '''''Transformers Studio Series''''' (トランスフォーマースタジオシリーズ ''Toransufōmā Sutajio Shirīzu'') line, all figures are identical to their Hasbro counterparts, forgoing Takara's past practice of using more movie-accurate paint jobs. This is most likely due to the line being an official collaboration between Hasbro and [[TakaraTomy]], much like the ''[[Transformers: Masterpiece Movie Series|Masterpiece Movie Series]]'' line. ID numbering differs after number 8 compared to the Hasbro releases, since some of the exclusives are not released in Japan. Introduced to the line in 2021, Takara includes characters from ''The Transformers: The Movie'' in its pre-existing ''Studio Series'' numbering system, whereas Hasbro assigns them ID numbers prefixed by "86". Takara also assigns ID numbers to Core Class figures, which go unnumbered in Hasbro markets. From wave 4 through wave 12, the packages featured the franchise's 35th anniversary logo. Toys would eventually use entirely closed boxes starting with wave 29.

{{note|Toys in italics are exclusive to the TakaraTomy line.}}

====Second phase====
Beginning in July 2025, TakaraTomy switched to different packaging, matching Hasbro's switch. With this, it was decided to reset the numbering, with new initials '''TS''' standing for '''Transformers Series''' (トランスフォーマーシリーズ)<ref>https://twitter.com/TF_pr/status/1886973512122032413</ref>.

===''Premium Finish''===
{{nav-pf}}
In 2021, TakaraTomy decided to go back to its old ways and launched the short-lived ''[[Transformers Premium Finish|Premium Finish]]'' toyline, featuring re-releases of some ''Studio Series'' figures with much more movie-accurate decoes. This line has its own numbering system, and, with the exception of the first Bumblebee, also notes the figure's movie of origin. ''Premium Finish'' was imported to western markets via [[Hasbro Pulse]].

A wearable Bumblebee helmet was released as a Target exclusive, tying into the ''Bumblebee'' film, similar to the Optimus Prime helmet made for ''The Last Knight''. A series of [[Jada Toys]] ''Hollywood Rides'' vehicles were also made to tie into ''Studio Series'', using the toyline's packaging style and even a couple of backdrop artworks, though they were also released in generic non-''Studio Series'' packaging.

In 2026, role play items made a return with a Matrix of Leadership for the 40th anniversary of ''The Transformers: The Movie''.

==Notes==
*In July 2017, photos of a computer screen taken during an internal Hasbro presentation were leaked to the public that revealed, among other things, the very ''existence'' of the ''Studio Series'' general retail line-up, though not the actual title "Studio Series" yet (which was later revealed through separate leaks). The fact that the slides incorrectly featured projected release dates for "2017" instead of 2018 (which included dates ''predating'' the leak) led some fans to assume that the still unannounced line-up had long since been canceled. It wouldn't be until several leaks later that Hasbro ''finally'' acknowledged the existence of the ''Studio Series'' line, and revealed the first few [[wave]]s during New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], even offering a limited quantity of the first wave of Deluxe Class figures as an early release through the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] website. Simultaneously, [[TakaraTomy]] revealed their version of the line at [[Wonder Festival]] Winter 2018.
*Among the figures whose existence was revealed through the aforementioned July 2017 leak that were ''not'' officially unveiled at Toy Fair was Voyager Class Ironhide, who made his worldwide debut at retail in Singapore in June 2018. Subsequently, Hasbro announced the redeco of Voyager Class Starscream (based on his appearance in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''), the final figure revealed through the July 2017 leak, via their "[[Hasbro Pulse]]" Instagram account a few days before [[San Diego Comic-Con]], even though they ''still'' hadn't officially acknowledged the existence of Ironhide by that point.
*Like with previous movie-based lines, ''Studio Series'' also assigned code names to at least some of its characters. In 2018, the "theme" for those code names was "Australian race horses":
{{collist|3|
:::*Bumblebee: "Stryker"
:::*Dropkick: "Blue Lightning" or "Blue Light"
:::*Megatron: "Fox"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Radar"
:::*KSI Sentry: "Sentry"
:::*Shadow Raider: "Mercenary"
:::*Shatter: "Red Lightning" or "Red Light"
}}
:The code names of many of the other figures, assuming they even ''had'' code names, are still unknown, as those toys have (thus far) consistently been listed under their actual characters' names. Meanwhile, a listing for a supposed Voyager Class figure using the code name "Destroyer" later turned out to be a mislabeled Energon Igniters Speed Series [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Bumblebee|Barricade]] from the [[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|''Bumblebee'' movie toyline]], with which the ''Studio Series'' shares its code names.
*A few of the Deluxes and Voyagers of the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)#Generations .28Series M4.29|previous]] [[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)#Premier Edition|two]] movie toylines scale fairly well with ''Studio Series'' figures. To this extent, [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys 5|a]] [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#ThirdTLKDeluxe|few]] [[Nitro Zeus#Toys|molds]] [[Cogman#Deluxe|were]] also redecoed in this toyline as well [[Nitro Zeus#Toys|as a]] [[Drift (AOE)#Premier Edition|few]] [[Berserker#Toys|retools]]. Furthermore, the static figurine of [[Quintessa (TLK)#Toys|Quintessa]] scales well among these toys and also seems to serve as an inspiration for later pack-in figurines like [[Wheelie (ROTF)#Studio Series|Wheelie]], [[Brains#Studio Series|Brains]], and the [[Mini Dinobot#Toys|Mini Dinobot]]s.
*One of the biggest [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers|misconceptions]] surrounding the ''Studio Series'' toyline is that there is a [[Subline imprint|subline]] called "Studio Series 86". This came about from leaked listings on Walmart's website where the number "86" was misinterpreted as part of the toyline's title, rather than the ID numbers of those toys. While the toys based on characters from the [[1986]] movie do feature a separate numbering system, the line itself doesn't acknowledge them as being any different from the live-action movie toys they are sold alongside. That being said, ''‘86'' as a shorthand for ''The Transformers: The Movie'' figures saw widespread use amongst fans and even the toy designers, eventually appearing in official marketing material as well.<ref>[[July 25]], [[2025]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T18IQaMuGVk?t=1038 Transformers Brand Panel Recap | SDCC 2025 | Hasbro Pulse] on YouTube, with [[Mark Maher]], [[Evan Brooks]], and [[Nate Purswell]].</ref>
**While it has never been confirmed, the move to include 1986 characters in the ''Studio Series'' toyline after three years of continuous focus on the live-action films, was likely done to allow Hasbro and TakaraTomy to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the film, without stepping on the toes of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' 25th anniversary, which was celebrated as a part of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''. Evidence suggesting this is the inclusion of some of the film's main characters ([[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Kingdom|Cyclonus]], [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Kingdom|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#Kingdom|Galvatron]]) being sold in the concurrently-ran ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' toyline and the shared design aesthetics of the toys between both lines.
*Due to the cancellation of Hound, the toyline's numbering system is missing 86-18. Additionally, 79, 86-13, 86-20, 95, and 96 are only assigned to the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' version of the line.
**74 ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee and 102 ''Rise of the Beasts'' Optimus Prime are the only toys to be re-released in the regular line after debuting in ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''.
**TakaraTomy's version of the line has skipped over "72" for unknown reasons.
**Junkion Scrapheap and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Ironhide both use the 86-24 number. Optimus Prime and Galvatron also share the number 86-31.
*The last wave to use ID numbers in 2025 was quite a mess. Perhaps they just gave up in the face of its impending doom.
**As mentioned above, Galvatron reused Optimus Prime's number of 86-31.
**Hatchet's original ID number for his cancelled ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' release was 94. When he was finally released 2 years later, his packaging had the number 117, but his product description and instructions still used 94.
**The original ID number for the cancelled Bumblebee from the same wave is unknown, as there are no other gaps that it might have occupied. The main line release's product description and stock photos used 117 like Hatchet, but 116 is the only number present on the final product.
**Apelinq's stock photos, product description, backdrop, and instructions use 116, while only the box (and a small number of backdrops) uses 118, the last number in Hasbro's line.
*The instructions of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' "[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Worlds Collide]]" set mistakenly label it as part of ''Studio Series'', under the ''Transformers'' movie.
*The introduction of the "Gamer Edition" banner led Hasbro to review the full back catalogue of [[video games]] they retained ownership over, including more esoteric options, such as the [[Family Computer|Nintendo Famicom]] ''[[Transformers: Mystery of Convoy]]'' or the [[Nintendo 64]] ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals (N64)|Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals]]!''<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Pretty much all of it.

Galva Convoy

:''Galva Convoy is an evil [[Maximal]] from the [[Beast Wars: Uprising]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Derailment TitlePage GalvaConvoy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|My insanely awesome body in which I never appear!]]

'''Galva Convoy''' is a mystery to those around him. Burning with emotion within, he focuses these feelings into a quietly intense and unnerving outward demeanor. He carries powerful weapons and bears a mysterious [[Energon Matrix]] in his chest, and exerts these formidable abilities not to acquire power, but simply to quench his thirst for destruction.

==Fiction==
===''TransTech''===
After arriving in [[Axiom Nexus]], Galva Convoy's nature proved an enigma to both the city's [[lowtech]] denizens and its Security Administration. Rumors abounded as to his true nature, from the conspiratorial (that he was a deep-cover agent for the [[Convoy (group)|Convoy]]) to the absurd (that he was the seldom-seen bar owner [[Maccadam]]), but the [[Transcendent Technomorph|TransTech]] authorities settled on the theory that he was a villainous double of the [[Lio Convoy (BW)|Lio Convoy]] of [[Primax 209.0 Gamma]]. Regardless, his suspected involvement in a string of crimes led Officer [[Cheetor (TransTech)|Cheetor]] to target the sinister Maximal for arrest. {{storylink|Galva Convoy#Timelines|Customization class Galva Convoy bio}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
[[Eject (G1)|Eject]] surreptitiously obtained a sample of Lio Convoy's [[CNA]], with the intention of using it to initiate the "Galva Contingency" should the Guardian of Order go rogue. This plan would see a clone of Lio created, which would possess its own energon matrix. When Lio Convoy joined the [[Resistance (BWU)|Resistance]] and kickstarted the [[Grand Uprising]], the [[Builder Assembly]] approved Eject's motion to go ahead with the Galva Contingency. {{storylink|Broken Windshields}} Furthermore, Eject visited the [[Forever Vaults]] to research the [[G-Virus]], tempering Lio Convoy's CNA with the G-Virus to create a new being who could still access the Matrix. {{storylink|Micro-Aggressions}} {{storylink|Not All Megatrons}}

After many stellar cycles, Eject's research produced a new clone of Lio Convoy who would use his duplicate Matrix to create a new army, a new race of Cybertronians that would replace the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s... except for the fact that the newborn Galva Convoy wasn't inclined to do so. Thanks to the efforts of [[Lord Imperious Delirious]], an alien [[Second-born intellect|Second-Born Intellect]] who had found his way onto Cybertron as a packet of sentient data, Galva Convoy's thoughts began moving to darker places. As Delirious expounded on the long, violent history of the Transformers—from [[Autobot]] and [[Decepticon]] through to Maximal and Predacon—Galva Convoy decided that it would all have to go if Cybertron was to truly be saved.

Claiming that he needed to "transcend" to master the Matrix inside of him, Delirious, manifesting as a voice only Galva Convoy could hear, began persuading him to pervert the Builder's plan and create an army of "Terrorcons" instead, powered by corrupted anti-Sparks. From their base in [[Nova Cronum]], Eject argued with his new protégé about their plans before storming off, warning the Maximal that he would need to get a move on soon, or else. Once Eject was off his back, Galva Convoy returned to mediating, unaware that he was being watched by an [[Bisk (BWU)|addled Predacon]] on a mission of his own. As the Predacon thief made off with a [[protoform]], he noticed that a security camera beamed a data transmission to the meditating Maximal. {{storylink|Not All Megatrons}}

After several stellar cycles of work, Galva Convoy's efforts allowed him to create the first three members of a new species: the "[[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]": a race of mindless soldiers that could assimilate every Maximal and Predacon into their collective. Eject and the Builder Assembly subsequently deployed infected [[Micromaster]]s behind enemy lines and allowing the contagion to spread.

The "[[Vehicon Apocalypse]]" soon began to falter, and Galva Convoy watched as an emergency council meeting where [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] bemoaned the chances of Iacon's survival. After some debate, the Builders decided to rescind Order 66 that prevented the Vehicons from accessing the Builder-controlled northern regions, much to Galva Convoy's delight.

As Lio Convoy's Maximals pushed inward towards Iacon, Ratbat demanded Galva Convoy to reroute his troops to the [[High Council Pavilions|High Pavilion]]. Galva Convoy agreed... but only if the Assembly moved their shielded bunker to the surface to watch the show. When the Vehicons hit the Resistance, the Maximals and Predacons were able to overcome their initial assault and demand surrender from the Builder Assembly. Galva Convoy ordered the Vehicons to cease fighting, surround Lio Convoy and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] with a horde of [[Aero Drone|aero drone]]s... then assimilate the entire Builder Assembly, transforming them into heavily armed [[Copter Drone|copter drone]]s and [[Artillery Drone|artillery drone]]s.

With the Builders and their forces out of the fight, Lio Convoy and the Resistance led a strike on the Grand Mal to finish off Galva Convoy once and for all before Galva Convoy could get the fortress airborne again. The Vehicon leader greeted his "brother" with delight and expounded on how his Vehicons had done what neither the Builders or the Resistance could: creating a truly unified Cybertron with no inequality or discontent. When neither Blackarachnia or Lio Convoy accepted his rationalizations, he turned on them, claiming that he represented the ''true'' aim of the Resistance—victory at any cost. That's when Lio Convoy had a seeming change of heart; offering Blackarachnia up for conversion, he threw himself in the path of the encroaching [[Tank Drone|tank drone]], allowing the Vehicon virus to enter his own body. Though Galva Convoy tried to pry his brother off the drone, their identical spark patterns allowed the virus to spread to Galva Convoy's body as well, transforming him into a mindless drone and effectively ending his life.

Shortly after Galva Convoy's passing, Delirious revealed himself and hijacked control of the Vehicons as he explained his role in the fall of Galva Convoy to the assembled Resistance warriors. {{storylink|Derailment}}

Ten thousand years after his death, much of Galva Convoy's role in the Vehicon Apocalypse was forgotten, with some historians conflating him with the reborn [[Galvatron (BW)|Galvatron]]. {{storylink|Lio Convoy: Unity Through Tyranny}}

[[File:GenesisBombshell.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Not a hot blonde like the name implies.]]
A master of mind-controlling "[[cerebro-shell]]s", the twisted '''Bombshell''' (aka '''Hardshell''') plays with the minds of others as a child would a new toy, enthusiastically and recklessly. But there is nothing childlike about the gleeful malice he exposes in forcing his victims into more and more humiliating and destructive acts. Bombshell takes such sadistic joy in the destruction of his victims that even the other Decepticons can be put off, wondering if he wouldn't be just as pleased to play those same "games" with them...

===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
{{voiceactor|[[Michael Bell]] (English), [[Ken Shiroyama]] (Japanese)|[[Gu Guoyi]] (Chinese), [[Edgar Wald]] (American Spanish), [[Gianluca Crisafi]] (Italian, second dub), [[Georges Atlas]] (European French, "A Plague of Insecticons"), [[Henry Djanik]] (European French, "Enter the Nightbird"), [[Francis Lax]] (European French, "The Insecticon Syndrome"), Unknown (European French, "Quest for Survival"), [[Carlos Marques]] (Portuguese), [[Paulo Flores]] (Portuguese, "Enter the Nightbird"), [[Francisco José]] (Portuguese, "The Insecticon Syndrome"), [[Hélio Ribeiro]] (Portuguese, "Quest for Survival")}}
[[File:G1 PlagueofInsecticons Bombshell blast.jpg|left|upright=0.95|thumb|Whoa, that usually doesn't happen to me, I swear.]]
Bombshell and the rest of the Insecticons jettisoned themselves out the [[Nemesis (G1)|Decepticon cruiser]] when it and the [[Ark (G1)|Autobot ship]] crashed on [[Earth|Prehistoric Earth]]. Landing in what would become modern [[Bali]] off of [[Indonesia]], the Insecticons were altered by their [[idento-computer]]s to possess insectoid [[beast mode]]s, and had the ability to convert organic matter into [[energon]].

Reactivating around the same time as those aboard the Ark, the Insecticons formed a small nest for themselves in [[Demon Swamp]] before being tracked down by [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] and the Decepticons. They formed an alliance for the purpose of collecting energon and vanquishing the Autobots. In their first encounter with the enemy, Bombshell demonstrated one of the most unique of the trio's abilities—after firing an "insecti-shell" at a farming machine to blow it into pieces, he and the other Insecticons used "clone beams" to somehow convert those fragments of metal into [[Insecticon clone|duplicates of the Insecticons]] in their insect modes, a virtual swarm of Insecticlones created nearly out of thin air.

The initial alliance between Decepticons and Insecticons broke down after the greedy insects attempted to gorge themselves on the cache of energon cubes Megatron had created, and then abandoned the Decepticons to the Autobots. After that, the two groups operated independently, only joining forces as a matter on convenience on rare occasions. {{storylink|A Plague of Insecticons}}

[[File:G1 Traitor Bombshell captures Mirage.jpg|upright=0.95|thumb|Bombshell approaching with something long and pointy. Mirage's exhaust port was sore for a month after they did this scene.]]
Bombshell and the Insecticons next hired out their services to Megatron during his experimentation with the [[electro-cell]]s as on-call guards, in exchange for a share of the profits. The Autobot [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] attempted to turn them against each other, however, by stealing the Insecticons' reward and framing the Decepticons for it. Bombshell and the others staged an assault on the electro cell station and their Decepticon "comrades". During a spray of one of Shrapnel's grenades, Mirage was inadvertently caught in the blast while invisible. Bombshell seized upon the opportunity to implant one of his cerebro-shells in the fallen Autobot and turn him into a slave. What he DIDN'T do, however, is question what an Autobot counter-intelligence agent was doing sneaking around Decepticon camp just then. Megatron had to force Bombshell to think at gunpoint before he realized that Megatron wouldn't rob them while [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and the Autobots still lived. Maybe after, but not before. The united Decepticons then attempted to set a trap for the Autobots using Mirage, but ultimately Mirage was set free and the electro-cells were destroyed. {{storylink|Traitor (episode)|Traitor}}

[[File:G1 EntertheNightbird Bombshell Nightbird.jpg|left|upright=0.95|thumb|Bombshell is disappointed with Nightbird's neck articulation.]]
Next, Bombshell's aid was commissioned to upgrade the human-built female ninja robot known as [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird]] for Megatron, converting her into a functional assassin. His engineering skills shown here were rather remarkable for someone with no table manners. {{storylink|Enter the Nightbird}}

On their next joint venture, Megatron arranged for Bombshell and the Insecticons to have access to the [[Nova Power Core]], a meal that filled them with raw energy and caused them to increase in size dramatically. In exchange, they aided the Decepticons in raiding the armored installation known as [[Iron Mountain]] to gain control of the defense computer being housed there. Their new power went to their heads, however, and the Insecticons were overheard plotting against Megatron by his spy [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]]. Soundwave didn't get far, however, before Bombshell captured the Decepticon and turned him with the help of a cerebro-shell.

[[File:G1 InsecticonSyndrome Bombshell Soundwave.jpg|upright=0.95|thumb|A communications officer with a stethoscope... and he didn't hear THAT!?!?]]
He then systematically "bugged" the rest of Megatron's troops; by the time Iron Mountain was successfully infiltrated, Megatron was the only Decepticon left. The nova power proved to be too unstable for the Insecticons to synthesize, however, and an antidote was administered to rob Bombshell and Kickback of their additional mass and power. Shrapnel, however, exploded into pieces before the antidote could be properly administered. Somehow, though, Bombshell was able to completely reconstruct his fallen comrade in a matter of seconds, using a special shell to reunify the pieces and the Insecticons fled the scene with the Decepticons in hot pursuit. {{storylink|The Insecticon Syndrome}} They eventually patched things up, as Bombshell marched in the "[[Decepticon Day]]" parade. {{storylink|Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2}}

[[File:G1 QuestforSurvival Bombshell Kickback.jpg|left|upright=0.95|thumb|Seriously, tell me what isn't wrong with this picture.]]
In another scheme, Megatron convinced the Insecticons that he had a new energon processing system that could draw power from their organic-conversion process far more efficiently than their bodies normally could. The Insecticons would gather vast amounts of power through their clone armies, and then return to Decepticon headquarters to refine their amassed energies into energon cubes. Little did they know that the refinement process was far more effective than Megatron presented—Bombshell and the others were given scraps while dozens of cubes were being produced by their efforts. They slowly began to wise up to Megatron's duplicity and, when his henchman [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] attempted to warn them away from a certain valley, the Insecticons took it as a sign there was something valuable there. In fact there was: a can of [[robotic insecticide]] the Autobots had planned to use against the Insecticlones, and an ever-growing number of [[Morphobot]]s, techno-organic plants that fed on robot insects. Bombshell and the Insecticons attempted to feed on the plants, only to have their food "bite back" and their entire clone army destroyed in a matter of minutes. {{storylink|Quest for Survival}}

During the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]]' attempt at destroying Earth by sending it into the sun, the Insecticons were seen in large numbers again and were responsible for taking apart the [[space bridge|Space Bridge]] controls. They would later be tracked by the combined Autobots and Decepticons after which they relinquished the controls. {{storylink|The Revenge of Bruticus}}

Bombshell would ultimately be mortally wounded during the battle of [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] and was ejected alongside many other fallen Decepticon warriors (Megatron included) into deep space. This would not be the final note of Bombshell's story, however; his body was used by [[Unicron]] to create either [[Cyclonus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Cyclonus]] or [[Cyclonus's Armada (G1)|the other guy]]. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}
{{note|Bombshell’s involvement in these events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic mini-series "[[Transformers: The Animated Movie]]."}}

Either he got better or that was an identical clone, because all three Insecticons, along with the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] and [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]], were later seen on Earth trying to stop [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]], [[Marissa Faireborn]] and [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] from delivering the [[Transformation cog (biology)|transformation cog]] to [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. They were trampled by Sky Lynx. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

Bombshell's cerebro-shell technology was combined with [[Doctor Arkeville]]'s [[hypno-chip]] to create a new form of brainwashing. Using this technique, Starscream's Decepticons and their human allies the [[Concurrence]] infiltrated the Binaltech Project to steal the advanced bodies planned for the Autobots for themselves. {{storylink|Arise!

====''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' comic====
Bombshell along with the other Insecticons took part in an attack on [[Kyushu]] that attracted the attention of the Autobots. The [[Four-Wheel Drive Corps]] responded, but the attack turned out to be an ambush as the Insecticons trapped the Autobots in a volcanic crater. Luckily, the Four-Wheel Drive Corps was able to "combine" and perform the fearsome "Four-Wheel Drive Robo Combination Scrumbuster" attack. The blast of energy was so powerful that it sent the Insecticons fleeing in terror. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 3|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #3}}

The three Insecticons were among Decepticon forces who formed an alliance with the Autobots during a [[Martian]] invasion.

In an unstable [[Iocus]] reality engineered by the machinations of [[Sideways (AVP)|Sideways]] and [[Gong (GoBots)|Gong]], Bombshell and Skywarp were replaced by [[Crasher (GoBots)|Crasher]] and [[Slicks]] as the villains thrown out of Astrotrain and reformatted by Unicron into [[Fracture (Movie)|a warrior]] and [[Cyclonus's Armada (G1)#Ask Vector Prime|her armada]]. {{storylink|Echoes and Fragments}}

[[File:Straxusholdscourt.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|left]]
Bombshell was one of Lord [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]]'s warriors operating out of [[Polyhex]]. {{storylink|The Smelting Pool!}} At some point during the war, he encountered [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] in battle, but he was unable to get the better of his opponent. {{storylink|Spacehikers!}} Along with his fellow Insecticons and the [[conehead]]s, he pursued another sextet of Autobots who had just carried out some sort of raid on the [[smelting pool]], only to be forced to retreat by a torrent of liquid metal that had just been siphoned off of it. {{storylink|The Smelting Pool!}} He later attended Straxus's trial run of his newly constructed Space Bridge. {{storylink|The Bridge to Nowhere!}}

''Bombshell was one of the [[Ten Deadliest Killers|Decepticon warriors]] targeted for termination by the [[Wreckers]] in [[Operation: Volcano]]. A last minute change in orders prevented Bombshell and his cronies from walking into the Autobot trap, though.'' {{storylink|Target: 2006}} After Straxus began an alliance with [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] and the Decepticons of Earth, Bombshell was transported to our solar system by way of the [[space bridge]]. He, Kickback, and Shrapnel were then reformatted into the Insecticons, and granted impressive [[Size changing|mass shifting]] powers that enabled them to shrink down to the size of actual insects when transforming.

[[File:Bombshell marvel-21.jpg|upright=0.95|thumb|All he's missing is a leather halter top and a whip.]]
The Insecticons' first mission on Earth was to set up a conduit between Cybertron and Hoover Dam, stealing the hydro-electrical power. Bombshell tracked down the assistant chief engineer, [[Ricky Vasquez]], and implanted him with a cerebro-shell so that the Decepticons could infiltrate the plant clandestinely. With Megatron and the Insecticons riding shotgun, Vasquez snuck them into the control room where Shrapnel was able to take electronic control of the dam. Vasquez eventually managed to reassert his free will however and, with the interference of the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], the Decepticon operation proved ineffective.

Still, Bombshell took advantage of the opportunity to infiltrate the Ark by riding atop Silverbolt back to the Autobot base. {{storylink|Aerialbots over America!}} While inside, he seized a chance to fire one of his cerebro-shell inside [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] during a medical exam where Ratchet was cleaning a recent wound. He was unable to actually control Prime, but managed something almost as good—by piping in a radio connection to Megatron through Soundwave, Bombshell's implant was able to divert some of the Creation Matrix to the Decepticons, bringing life to the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] just as Prime was finalizing the life-sparks of the Aerialbots. Bombshell's implant was eventually discovered, but the damage was done. {{storylink|Heavy Traffic!}}

''Just before [[Christmas]] [[1986]], Bombshell accompanied [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] in a raid on a [[Blackrock Enterprises|Blackrock]] [[Blackrock's chemical plant|chemical plant]] as [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Jazz]] were taking delivery of a consignment of [[Transformer fuel|fuel]]. Though Bombshell managed to incapacitate Jazz easily, Thrust did not do such a good job with Jetfire as the Autobot quickly recovered and shot Bombshell down. Only the threat of an impending explosion allowed the Decepticons to retreat.'' {{storylink|The Gift}}

{{GIJoeTransformersfiction}}
[[File:Bombshell marvel-41.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|left|Bombshell learns that you don't have to be in the background to be block-colored by Nel Yomtov.]]
Later, Megatron commissioned Bombshell and [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] to take control of the human creation known as [[Power Station Alpha]]. Sighting [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]] casing the installation, Bombshell blasted a human boy with a cerebro-shell as a distraction, sending him off into danger while the Decepticon infiltrated Alpha and placed a specially-modified shell inside. {{storylink|Blood on the Tracks}} Things were too hot to retrieve it then, with the [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] team taking hostile action against Bumblebee and then being confronted themselves by [[Superion (G1)|Superion]], but later that night the remote control was triggered and Power Station Alpha sprung to life. Surprisingly for the Decepticons, though, it did NOT come to their base as programmed—[[Doctor Mindbender]] of [[Cobra]] was able to lock onto the electronic frequency of Bombshell's shell and bring Alpha to [[Cobra Island]] instead. Dirge and Bombshell were therefore forced into the position of emissaries for the Decepticon cause, proposing an alliance between them and Cobra in order to share Power Station Alpha's potential. {{storylink|Power Struggle}}

Bombshell was privy to Shockwave's plan of using Command Station Alpha to syphon tremendous amount of energy from the Earth, effectively destroying the planet in the process. When Serpentor and his troops arrived at the Decepticon base to deliver the device, Bombshell and his fellow Cybertronians maintained a facade of camaraderie with their human "allies." While Mindbender was acting as Cobra's "ambassador", he uncovered the severity of their plans for Alpha, and the devastating effect it would have on the Earth. As Bombshell was giving the doctor a tour of the Decepticons' base, the Decepticon suddenly began to convulse and transform involuntarily... the result of one of his Cerebro-Shells being probed elsewhere. Bombshell excused himself to check his systems over. {{storylink|Ashes, Ashes...}}

[[File:Insecticons carwash of doom.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
Once Cobra switched sides and joined in an alliance with the Joes and the Autobots, Mindbender was deemed "surplus parts" and Bombshell attempted to execute him. Instead, the Insecticon was disabled by a blast from one of the [[Baroness]]'s cannon weapons. As the two Cobra agents left to join [[Serpentor]] in conference with their new "friends", Mindbender scooped up the unconscious Bombshell (who had reverted to his tiny insect mode) in the hopes of dissecting his circuitry later. Only after arriving at the Joe base did they discover the connection between Bombshell and his cerebro-shells, as the Joe technical expert [[Mainframe (G.I. Joe)|Mainframe]] prodded the shell which had been surgically retrieved from the boy Bombshell blasted days earlier, causing the still-inactive Insecticon to spontaneously transform out of his own control. {{storylink|...All Fall Down!}}

How Bombshell eventually regained control of his systems and returned to the Decepticons is unknown, but he did and was later seen participating in a raid on an [[oil tanker]]. He used his cerebro-shells to quickly locate the vessel's control room. Unfortunately, the tanker turned out to be dry. {{storylink|Buster Witwicky and the Car Wash of Doom}} When Decepticon leadership eventually passed to [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]], Bombshell was seen among his troops, and participated on an attack against the crews of both the ''[[Steelhaven (G1)|Steelhaven]]'' and the Ark, at the time parked on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]]. Bombshell was blasted by [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] early in the assault. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

=====Transformers Annual 1985=====
{{note|Due to being published early in the franchise, these stories are out of continuity with the above.}}
[[File:Plague of the insecticons.jpg|thumb|left]]
Upon learning that the Autobots were secretly planning to open a dialogue with the [[Ronald Reagan|President of the United States]], [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] awakened the Insecticons to undermine the potential alliance. The trio were too new to be in full control of themselves, and needed to be remote-controlled to be of any use on the battlefield. To this end, [[Ravage (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ravage]] was selected to guide them on their test-run.

The Insecticons interrupted the peace talk, Bombshell making his presence known by ordering his teammates to "'''KILL THE HUMANS!'''" The Insecticons then proclaimed themselves to be Autobots working under Optimus, and blasted their surroundings with abandon, leading the humans to believe the Autobots had always planned on betraying them. Having put on enough of a show for the President himself, Bombshell and his teammates then zoomed off to unleash further firepower on downtown [[Washington, D.C.]]. Warpath and Prowl both tried to put an end to the Insecticons' rampage, but found it difficult to get a bead on their flying opponents. Optimus, however, had deduced that the Insecticons were being controlled by someone else, and tracked down Ravage in short order. The cat ordered Bombshell to double back and come to his aid. Bombshell launched a [[cerebro-shell]] towards the Autobot leader, just as [[Kickback (G1)|Kickback]] destroyed his [[Roller (G1)|Roller]] drone. The drone's destruction caused Optimus to keel over in pain at just the right moment, making the cerebro-shell miss its mark and imbed itself into Ravage instead. Bombshell gained control of Ravage mind, but since Ravage was already in control of Bombshell's mind, the result was two Decepticons left mindless and immobile. {{storylink|Plague of the Insecticons!}}

=====Movie future timeline=====
When Megatron launched a major offensive against [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] in the year [[2005]], Bombshell was among the troops who attacked the fortress. {{storylink|The Planet-Eater!}}

=====Earthforce=====
{{earthforcefiction}}
[[File:Earthforce insecticons.jpg|upright=0.95|thumb|Dinner and a show, huh?]]
Bombshell and the Insecticons were allied with Megatron during the [[Decepticon Civil War]] against Shockwave. He attended the [[Enclave]] held by the two factions, but it didn't go well and Bombshell was later seen among the massive melee between the Decepticon armies. {{storylink|The Bad Guy's Ball!}} Bombshell and the Insecticons were later tasked by Megatron to infiltrate Shockwave's base and spy on his war room to gain secret intelligence. Bombshell had tapped into the room with a listening prong right before [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] arrived, and caught the tiny intruders with a [[rustbug hoop]]. Forced to submit, the Insecticons were surprised that Starscream wasn't going to torture or kill them: instead, he offered them a juicy bit of gossip that Shockwave would be off alone on a mission soon. Bombshell realized that Starscream was setting his leader up for a fall, arranging for both Megatron and Shockwave to be disposed of in one felt swoop. He seemed okay with it. {{storylink|Bugged!}}

[[File:End of the Road! Bombshell report.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2]]
Sure enough, Megatron and Shockwave were soon excommunicated from their respective armies, and the Decepticons united under the command of Starscream and [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]]. Bombshell was present at the latter two's public announcement of their takeover, {{storylink|Internal Affairs!}} and for the united Decepticons' first major military action, an attack on Autobot Earthbase. The Decepticons' goal was to kill some Autobots, while also distracting them as Starscream looted a human oil tanker in the [[Gulf of Mexico]]. Both goals proved fruitless, and the Decepticons were driven off. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}}

Soon, however, Bombshell turned his talents to less overt and more deceitful activities. At his leaders' request, Bombshell implanted the mighty warrior [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] with one of his cerebro-shells, turning the giant against the human populace in order to smear the Autobots' image. A human reporter named [[Irwin Spoon]] managed to get inside Superion at the Autobots' request, however, and remove the shell before any permanent damage was done. {{storylink|Inside Story!}} Bombshell's follow-up surveillance revealed that the Autobots had offered the reporter an exclusive interview in exchange for his assistance. Such a positive "puff-piece" would go a long way towards improving the Autobots' image among the humans, and could not be allowed by the Decepticons. So, Soundwave and Starscream arranged for the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] to kidnap Spoon. {{storylink|Front Line! (issue)|Front Line!}} Trapping him inside [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]]'s cabin, the Stunticons led the Autobots on a merry chase through the highways until they finally forced Motormaster off the road and recovered Spoon. The damage had been done, however; unknown to the Autobots, Bombshell had been hiding inside Motormaster's cab, and implanted the reporter with a cerebro-shell before losing custody of the human. Irwin Spoon therefore wrote exactly the piece the Decepticons wanted, painting the Autobots as evil kidnappers set to destroy mankind. {{storylink|End of the Road! (UK)|End of the Road!}}

In the early days of the [[Great War (G1)|war]] on Cybertron, Bombshell was part of [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]]'s forces who assaulted an Autobot fort in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]'s [[Border Regions]]. When Autobots led by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] arrived to defend the fort, Straxus ordered his troops to seize as many prisoners as they could and retreat. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 2|Secrets & Lies #2}} Upon returning to [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]], Bombshell was privileged to join Straxus as he watched those Autobot prisoners being tortured to death in the [[smelting pool]]. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 3|Secrets & Lies #3}}

[[Kickback (G1)|Kickback]] and Bombshell were looking for a way to gain favor with [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] when they came across [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]], the Autobots' architect. Bombshell infected him with a cerebro-shell to use the Autobots for his own evil deeds. After the mind-controlled Grapple chased off his friend [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]], Bombshell brought his new toy back to Megatron. When the Autobots attacked Decepticon headquarters to get Grapple back, the diminutive Bombshell was too frazzled by the explosions to keep focus on Grapple, and the Autobots managed to rescue him. {{storylink|Insecticon Attack!}}

Bombshell aided Starscream in enacting Megatron's plan to abduct humans for ransom. When they reached [[Phoenix International]], they found the airport deserted, so instead went to check on the already-obtained hostages. Unfortunately the Autobots had found the warehouse already and liberated the prisoners, so Starscream's squad instead found an Autobot welcoming committee. With Starscream unable to transform and Bombshell injured, the Decepticons retreated. {{storylink|Sun Raid (Listen 'n Play)}}

===Peril from the Stars===
{{notemultipath}}
[[File:Bombshell starscream uncle jack aunt sue peril from the stars.jpg|thumb|upright=0.6]]
Bombshell was recruited by Starscream, behind the backs of the other Decepticons, to help him capture the [[Los Palmos observatory]] and its staff [[Jack Richards|Jack]] and [[Sue Richards]] in order to track a weapons pod that had been launched from Cybertron. After implanting Sue Richards with a cerebro-shell and tangling with [[you]] and the Autobot [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]], Bombshell ultimately retreated after Starscream left him to face Jazz alone. {{storylink|Peril from the Stars}}

{{note|As "Peril from the Stars" is a [[multipath adventure]], Bombshell doesn't necessarily implant Sue with a cerebro-shell. Depending on the choices you make, at that point in the book he could be blowing you and Jazz to pieces with an explosive shell instead.}}

===Find Your Fate Junior===
{{notemultipath}}
====Dinobots Strike Back====
With his buddy Kickback, Bombshell snuck into [[Hidden Valley]], where the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] were supposed to be on lookout duty. Seeing their inattentiveness, he was able to get close enough to launch a [[Mortar cannon|mortar]] which knocked them all out except Swoop, who dodged but got a wing injured in the explosion. Bombshell quickly transformed into insect mode and injected the four unconscious Dinobots with cerebro-shells, ordered them to transform, and sent Kickback back to Megatron to report his triumph. {{note|The preceding actions hold true for every path of this micro-continuity-nexus.}}

What happened next depended on Swoop's actions: if Swoop stayed and fought Bombshell, the Insecticon responded by hovering over the other Dinobots, making it too risky for him to take a shot from his position. If Swoop flew below him, it opened up two paths with basically the same result for Bombshell: hit with a missile, then threatened until he removed the four cerebro-shells. He flew off in defeat, apparently not damaged too badly in either outcome.

If Swoop tried to lure him higher, Bombshell ordered the other Dinobots to attack the Ark and level everything in their path, raising a dust cloud that obscured Swoop's vision. Bombshell saw his opportunity to sneak up on Swoop, and injected him with a poison that shrank him down to the size of a hummingbird, then flew off and left the Dinobot bombardier to his fate. The poison eventually wore off, allowing Swoop to go down the same path as if he'd just flown back to the Ark instead of trying to fight Bombshell in the first place.

Either way, Bombshell never figured back into this micro-continuity-nexus save for one path in which Windcharger popped the cerebro-shells off with his magnetism, allowing [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] to remember picking up a careless thought from Bombshell about his actions merely being a distraction from Operation Black Coral, spurring the Autobots to investigate [[Dolphin's Bay]]. One possible subsequent outcome involved the Dinobots foiling this plan by pretending to still be under the cerebro-shells' influence, indicating that Bombshell wasn't actively controlling their actions at all after giving the initial order, and that the mind-link with his victims is only one-way. {{storylink|Dinobots Strike Back}}

====Battle Drive====
[[File:Battledrivefightingatthebridge.jpg|thumb|left]]
In one possible scenario, when Starscream believed himself ambushed by a whole squadron of Autobots, he radioed Bombshell for back-up. Upon his arrival, the Decepticons realized they were only up against Bumblebee, and the pair ganged up on the little Autobot. If Bumblebee attempted to flee from this battle through a nearby cornfield, Bombshell would put the little Autobot out of commission by puncturing his tires after Starscream used his [[null-ray]]s on Bumblebee. In another possible sequence of events, Bumblebee is able to lose Bombshell through a smokescreen produced by a nearby burning field.

In another possible version of these events, Bombshell was amongst a squadron of Decepticons attacking Sparkplug as the human attempted to hide in a cave in the mountains. Bombshell and the rest of the Decepticons were defeated if Swoop managed to take out Megatron subsequently. Otherwise, he was amongst the Decepticons who stayed at the cave entrance after Swoop headed back to Autobot headquarters after the Dinobot's initial assault. In one of the possible following events, Bombshell has his wings blasted off when Prowl makes a mad dash back for Autobot headquarters, leaving him unable to pursue.

In a completely different version of these events, Bombshell is amongst the fleet of Decepticons who attack Optimus Prime and his small squad of Autobots when they are lured out in the open farmland. Whether or not the Decepticons triumphed depended on which decisions Optimus Prime made from that point on. In one possible scenario, Bombshell was scorched by Jazz's flamethrower after he and at least nine other Decepticons attempted to gang up on Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Battle Drive}}

====Attack of the Insecticons====
[[File:AttackoftheInsecticonstheSunPak.jpg|thumb]]
In one possible adventure, Bombshell was complicit in one of Starscream's schemes of overthrowing Megatron. Holding the recently kidnapped Sparkplug in his custody for the Seeker, Bombshell was instructed to use his Cerebro-Shells on the human in order to force him into creating a Sun-Pak for them, a device that would provide them with great energy reserves. Unknown to the duo, Buster and Blaster were hiding nearby.

If the two of them decided to contact Megatron, two possible outcomes were possible. First, if Buster provided Megatron proof that Starscream was planning to usurp the Decepticon leader, Megatron would arrive shortly and threaten Starscream for his duplicity. Not wanting to share Starscream's fate, Bombshell refused to collaborate Starscream's lies to Megatron. Though Bombshell managed to avoid punishment, this came at the cost of having to release Sparkplug, and keeping the existence of the Sun-Pak a secret. Second, if Buster refused to provide Megatron with proof of Starscream's treachery, Megatron turned up anyways, but allowed Bombshell to use his mind control device on Sparkplug. Unfrotunately for the Decepticons, the device caused memory damage in the human, rendering Sparkplug unable to create more Sun-Paks for the Decepticons.

If Blaster and Buster decided to seek Bumblebee's aid in confronting the Decepticons, the three of them would hatch a plan, which ultimately led to Bombshell accidentally hitting Starscream with his Cerebro-Shell in-lieu of Sparkplug. A fuming Bombshell was then forced to deal with the Seeker who was convinced by the Autobots that they were his masters, and was prevented from stopping both humans and both Autobots from escaping by the newly brainwashed Starscream.

In another possible adventure, the Autobots had become Bombshell and Shrapnel's prisoners, thanks to the Insecticons' Electro-Disrupter. While the Autobots are paralyzed by the device, Bombshell prepared Cerebro-Shell to make slaves of all do-gooders present. Little did the Decepticons know that the disrupter left the humans unaffected, giving them the opportunity to turn the device on the Insecticons, allowing the Autobots to escape.

In yet another possible adventure, Bombshell and Kickback were present when Shrapnel, in possession of the Sun-Pak, gloated that using the device's power they would overthrow Megatron as leader of the Decepticons. However, nearby hid Buster and Mirage spying on the trio. If Buster and Mirage decided to confront the Insecticons themselves, Mirage used his holographic powers to disorient the Insecticons, allowing Buster the opening to steal the device from the Insecticons. If Buster and Mirage decided to call for reinforcements, Bombshell and the other two Insecticons would be around long enough for Megatron, himself having found out about Shrapnel's ploy, to arrive in the rotting forest where the Insecticons were hiding, and blast Shrapnel for his treachery, warning the other two Insecticons that a similar punish would await them should they try to betray him as well. Bombshell was subsequently sprayed by [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]'s acid spray, alongside the other Decepticons, when Megatron's plan to ambush the Autobot reinforcements backfired. {{storylink|Attack of the Insecticons}}

====The Invisibility Factor====
Bombshell was stationed in the Decepticons' secret desert base. In one possible scenario, the Decepticons captured [[Sarah Sanders]], a scientist who had discovered a way to make machinery invisible with her [[Invisibility Device]]. When she would not give up her secrets willingly, Galvatron ordered Bombshell to use his Cerebro-Shells to control her mind. Bombshell stepped forth from the shadows and greedily anticipated taking over a fresh mind. In one possible scenario, Bombshell succeeded despite the Autobots' brief interference, and the Decepticons conquered the Earth. In another possible scenario, Bombshell was dazzled at the last second by a series of holographic projections, giving the Autobots the time to scoop up Sarah and run. Whether Bombshell recaptured Sarah or if she escaped the Insecticon's clutches was a matter of chance from this point forward. {{storylink|The Invisibility Factor}}

[[File:Bombshell kickback shrapnel soundwave ravage war within 1-2.jpg|left|upright=0.95|thumb|Oh, shut up.]]
Bombshell, sporting a spiffy tank mode, was on Cybertron millions of years ago as part of a commando group being directed by Soundwave, sent to track down Optimus while the bulk of the Decepticon forces participated in a raid on [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. {{storylink|The War Within issue 2|The War Within #2}} But the newly inaugurated Prime proved to be more trouble that Bombshell's team initially anticipated. The Autobot leader lost his pursuers in Cybertron's labyrinthine underground, and then ambushed them by using the environment to his advantage.

During the Dark Ages, Bombshell and his fellow future Insecticons served under [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] as part of the primary Decepticon faction. At one point, they assaulted [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] and the [[Chaos Trinity]] in [[Altihex]] to stop the chaos unleashed by [[the Fallen]]. {{storylink|Conflagration}} Bombshell was also present at [[Tyger Pax]] during the aborted peace treaty between the Autobots, Decepticons and [[Ultracon]]s. Megatron's sudden arrival with the [[Air Warrior|Aerospace Extermination Squadron]] put a quick stop to those peace talks. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath}} After Megatron took control of the planet, Bombshell got to guard Autobot prisoners within [[Internment Camp Pi]]. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.2|The Age of Wrath #2}}

Prior to the [[Great Shutdown]], Shockwave uncovered the crash location of the missing ships the Ark and ''Nemesis'': Earth. He sent Kickback, Shrapnel and Bombshell to the planet as part of some vast, incomprehensible scheme he'd been perfecting for millennia. They initially encountered resistance from the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dynobots]], but gave them the slip and went undercover on Earth for 48 thousand [[Units of time|vorns]]. {{storylink|Unreleased Dreamwave issues|The Rules of Extinction}} {{storylink|Extermination}}

{{note|Bombshell and the Insecticons made a brief appearance in the second ''[[The Transformers Trilogy|Transformers Trilogy]]'' novel, ''[[Transformers: Annihilation|Annihilation]]'', as troops under Starscream's command on Earth. This appearance is contradicted by later Dreamwave stories. Also, in the novel the Insecticons shrink down to insect-size as they did in Marvel Comics, whereas later Dreamwave issues showed them retaining their full size, like their cartoon versions.}}

[[File:Extermination BombshellBumperShockwave.jpg|thumb]]
In modern times, however, Bombshell seemed to have developed a few loose screws and begun operating outside his mission parameters. Having taken over a small town in rural America, Bombshell had begun mass production of techno-organic Insecticlones being grown from special pods. {{storylink|Infestation (Dreamwave)|Infestation}} He also went about abducting cattle and their human handlers in order to feed his larvae and build a mind-controlled army. His actions drew the attention of [[Earth Defense Command]] and [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]]'s Autobot faction, leading to an investigation of the town. Shockwave contacted the Insecticons, berating them for allowing to be found out, though Bombshell thought the Autobots to be of little concern; he had already captured one of them, [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]], and begun tinkering about with the Autobot's head. He ended Shockwave's call, and his experiment, to go feed his hatchlings... only to find Sunstreaker and Sideswipe already running amok in the hatchery. These two were captured as well, only for Bumper to turn up missing by the time the brothers were brought back to Bombshell's lab. Heading up to the surface in the hopes of finding him, Bombshell observed from a distance as the rest of his squad took on Jazz and his troops. As the Autobots gained the advantage on the battlefield, Bombshell sent the mind-controlled townspeople against them, knowing they would hesitate to harm the fleshlings. While his attentions was focused on this, Bumper managed to sneak up on Bombshell and took him out, signaling an Autobot victory... though this victory seemed to have come about easily. Perhaps, too much so...? {{storylink|Extermination}} In any case, Bombshell was taken into Autobot custody after his defeat. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

[[File:Bombshell beachcomber spotlight blaster.jpg|upright=0.95|thumb|Cybertronian creature feature.]]
Shortly after [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]'s apocalyptic assault across Cybertron, a tiny mechanoid insect called Bombshell injected a cerebro-shell into [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]] on [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]]'s behalf. The shell enabled Soundwave to make Beachcomber into an assassin, sending him after [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], the inspirational broadcaster for the Autobots. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blaster}}

Several hundred years later, Bombshell was created on Cybertron as the first [[Insecticon swarm|non-insane]] Insecticon. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 7|All Hail Megatron #7}} Soundwave would later refer to him as a "different Bombshell", separate from the one he had used against Blaster. One of this new Bombshell's first tasks was to finish [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]]'s research on [[combiner]]s, resulting in the creation of [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. {{storylink|Shockpoint}} {{storylink|Before the Dawn}} After Devastator had defeated the Autobots on [[Earth]], Bombshell constructed a [[space bridge]] between Cybertron and Earth, which the Decepticons used to dump their defeated enemies in. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 7|All Hail Megatron #7}} After using the bridge to get rid of the Autobots on Earth, the Decepticons attacked [[New York City]]. During the assault, Bombshell tore apart [[United States Air Force|Air Force]] jets in his giant beetle mode. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 1|All Hail Megatron #1}} [[Marissa Faireborn]] watched this in horror. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 2: Detonation Boulevard|Detonation Boulevard}} He later attended [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s glorious victory speech in the ruins of the city, but the line about the Decepticons being "united in our cause" clearly wasn't quite true. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 3|All Hail Megatron #3}} {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 4|All Hail Megatron #4}}

[[File:AllHailMegatron8-Insecticons.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|left]]
Battle lines started being drawn between the Insecticons and the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]]. In [[Beijing]], Bombshell began openly mocking [[Skywarp (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Skywarp]] and the Seekers as "Yesterday's news", ignored by their flight commander and cast aside by Megatron in favor of the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. Despite his mind games, though, Bombshell and the united Insecticons quickly scurried off when both Skywarp and [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Thundercracker]] stood up against them. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 6|All Hail Megatron #6}} After returning to New York, Bombshell was approached by [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]], who apologized for the behavior of his fellow Seekers, and told the Insecticons about how he envisioned the future of the Decepticon Empire—a vision which incidentally included Starscream as the leader. At some point during the conquest of Earth, Bombshell also captured former [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] [[Hunter O'Nion]] and started performing twisted experiments on him. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 8|All Hail Megatron #8}}

Bombshell would go on to create another space bridge in New York and use Hunter to create a "hub" of some sort, which the Decepticons used to find Autobots all across the galaxy and deactivate their defenses. When Megatron complimented his work, Bombshell explained that human minds intrigued him, and that he found experimenting on them to be quite "delicious". He then promptly betrayed Megatron, as he had been sucked in by Starscream's words earlier and took the Seeker's side in his rebellion. In response, Megatron threw Kickback at him. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 10|All Hail Megatron #10}} Not long afterwards, the Autobots returned to Earth, and a massive battle broke out in New York. Bombshell jumped [[Sideswipe (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Sideswipe]] and taunted the Autobot by claiming to have toyed with [[Sunstreaker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|his brother]]'s mind with information he had extracted from Hunter. He was punched out by [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Kup]] before he could kill Sideswipe, however, and the Decepticons soon found themselves defeated. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 12|All Hail Megatron #12}} As the Decepticons fled the planet aboard [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]], Bombshell cheered for Starscream when he revealed that he was in possession of the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. {{storylink|Uneasy Lies the Head}}

[[File:Bombshell All His Engines.jpg|thumb]]
Despite Starscream's "ascension", however, the Decepticon army began to crumble without clear direction. Bombshell and the rest of Starscream's followers eventually retreated to a lifeless planetoid in a distant solar system. Refugees from the broken Decepticon war machine began to trickle in over the next three years until nearly 100 were cowering together in the dark. Starscream ordered Bombshell to find some way to strengthen their meager energon reserves and keep what remained of the army properly fueled. Bombshell regarded this as a fool's errand, and left the Decepticons to reach "population saturation" on their own, as the strong cannibalized the weak for resources. Instead, he chose to work on perfecting cerebro-shell technology, and cobbled together a prototype to present to Starscream. It proved highly effective against the dissident [[Quake (G1)|Quake]], who attacked Starscream at that moment for reasons of his own. Bombshell's little toy incapacitated Quake long enough for Starscream to eliminate the mutineer. Intrigued, Starscream requested Bombshell begin production of ''more'' cerebro-shells. {{storylink|All His Engines}} Later, Bombshell reported to an uninterested Starscream that an approaching Autobot ship had crashed into their defenses. Tempted by the Matrix, he made an offer to take care of the relic, but Starscream violently repulsed him. Together with Shrapnel and [[Acid Storm (G1)|Acid Storm]], he went to scavenge the ship's wreckage for anything useful, only to be attacked by the pilot, [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rodimus]]. Bombshell tried to fire one of his new cerebro-shells at the intruder, who blocked it with a piece of metal and defeated him. {{storylink|Heart Like a Wheel}}

Megatron would later use space bridge technology built into in his new body to summon Bombshell and the rest of the Decepticons to him on Cybertron. At first they did battle with the Autobots, but were soon mind-controlled by [[D-Void]] into combining with [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]]'s [[Sweep (G1)|Sweep]] army and forming a [[Deceptigod|huge monster]]. {{storylink|Chaos Part Three: Kings|Kings}} Once this monster was defeated, all Decepticons but Megatron were left weakened and easily captured by the Autobots, but Bombshell, Soundwave and Shockwave secretly remained in contact with their leader in preparation for his return. Bombshell's task was to perfect combiner technology, granting Megatron a warrior powerful enough to conquer the newly restored Cybertron. {{storylink|Shockpoint}} After three weeks in captivity, the Decepticons were released to help the Autobots beat down a [[NAIL]] riot, though with [[Inhibitor/deterrence chip|I/D chip]] implants to keep them from going overboard. {{storylink|Transformers: The Death of Optimus Prime|The Death of Optimus Prime}}

[[File:Needlenose Autonomy Lesson.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.8]]
[[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]], unaware of their machinations and fed up with working as an enforcer for the Autobots, accused Bombshell, Soundwave and Shockwave of just sitting around instead of doing something about the Decepticons' situation. {{storylink|The Autonomy Lesson (issue)|The Autonomy Lesson}} The three aided [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s plan to take control of the I/D chips, assassinate the [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Autobot leader]] and rise up against their captors, but only because it served as a good distraction from their own activities. {{storylink|Shockpoint}} {{storylink|The World & Everything in It}} When Ratbat was then mysteriously found dead, the Autobots claimed it was suicide, but Bombshell and the other Decepticons didn't believe them. {{storylink|Stick Together}}

[[File:Prowl Bombshell Devisive.jpg|thumb|right|Ha! Didn't work!]]
Following Ratbat's death, Bombshell began experimenting with using cerebro-shells to repress the wills of individuals and turn them into components of the perfect combiner, a concept he referred to as "[['Til all are one|all-who-are-one]]". Among his test subjects were [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]] and [[Skydive (Predator)|Skydive]], but he was forced to murder the latter after he proved "divisive" and unsuitable for the experiments. As [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] found the body, Bombshell placed another cerebro-shell on him to prevent him from telling anyone he was responsible, but [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] found the device and tracked him back to his lair. Ordering Sunstorm to keep Prowl and [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] busy, he fled into the [[reclamation tunnel]]s and recruited the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]' help, but it was all in vain as Prowl eventually cornered him and demanded to know what he was doing and who he was working with. When Bombshell refused to answer, Prowl prepared to execute him on the spot by shooting him in the head. {{storylink|Devisive}} However, using a tiny cerebro-shell masked by the larger one Prowl had found, Bombshell took control of his mind and made him miss at the last second. {{storylink|Before the Dawn}}

[[File:PlanForEverything BombshellDies.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|left|Okay that one did.]]
Now believed dead, Bombshell was able to go into hiding and use Prowl to manipulate events in anticipation of Megatron's return. This way, he was able to spirit away the Constructicons and modify them into a new Devastator, as well as take out [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], the only Autobot capable of defeating a combiner. {{storylink|Before the Dawn}} Starscream expressed great shock at seeing Bombshell and other believed dead Decepticons alive when he was taken into the [[Black Room]]. {{storylink|The Verge}} When Megatron finally returned, they enacted the final part of their plan by having Prowl form Devastator's head, causing the giant to be completely under Bombshell's control. {{storylink|Before the Dawn}} However, the Decepticons were betrayed by Arcee who, knowing the only way of defeating the new Devastator would be to take out one controlling him, killed Bombshell by stabbing him in the head. {{storylink|Plan for Everything}}

Along with several other Decepticons, Bombshell awoke in the late 19th century when a sunken human submarine crashed onto their submerged ship. {{storylink|Hearts of Steel issue 1|Hearts of Steel #1}} He spent some time helping his comrades construct things underwater before being ordered by [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] to obtain "money" for their human ally, [[Tobias Muldoon]]. Taking on a new [[alternate mode]] alongside Kickback and Shrapnel, Bombshell transformed into the middle portion of the "[[Insectrain]]", which used his head-mounted cannon as a turret. The Insecticons attacked a train carrying money and gold from the Denver Mint, shrugging off the primitive weaponry of its human guards. Although he didn't see the value in tiny sheets of paper, Bombshell followed orders and delivered the loot to Starscream and Muldoon by the next morning. {{storylink|Hearts of Steel issue 2|Hearts of Steel #2}} He was later present when Starscream announced to his troops that the Autobots had awakened as well. {{storylink|Hearts of Steel issue 3|Hearts of Steel #3}}

[[File:ConstructiconsRisingPart2-Bombshell.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Allow me to introduce myself. I'm a bug of wealth and taste.]]

Bombshell, Kickback, and Skrapnel emerged from the [[Forge Pyramid]] in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] at the same time. The trio were born with a ravenous, nigh-insatiable hunger; when they consumed raw materials, they found that they could metabolize whatever they consumed into a particularly powerful form of "ultra-[[energon]]". Scientists at the time tried to understand this strange mutation, but when they proved unable to crack the secret behind this miraculous ability the three were turned loose on Cybertron's waste processing industry to recycle garbage and industrial waste into cheap, efficient fuel. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 2}}

When the [[War of the Threefold Spark]] swept the planet, the war forced the [[Autobot]] government to focus on other priorities, leaving Bombshell and his compatriots without any oversight. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 2}} Bombshell and the other Insecticons approached [[Exarchon]]'s minion [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], who had begun a series of [[cloning]] experiments, and cut a deal with the scientist: in exchange for producing the volatile energon required to fuel his cloning machines, Shockwave would clone them as well. {{storylink|Escape Part Three}} Shockwave ran some preliminary tests and discovered that the three were well-suited for the rigorous cloning process, but ultimately withheld this information from them, for fear that the Insecticons had only just begun testing the limits of their destructive potential. {{storylink|Escape Part Two}} After the end of the war, the trio were banished from Cybertron and eventually wound up on the planet [[Mayalx]]. Bombshell claimed that the Cybertronian government had grown wary of their powers and wondered if they would ever develop a taste for living Cybertronians; because of this, the government rebranded them as the lowly "Insecticons" and put them to work far from Cybertron. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 2}}

[[File:ConstructiconsRisingPart4-cerebroshells.jpg|thumb|250px]]

In the years before the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], the Insecticons joined [[The Rise]], a radical splinter group led by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], and worked to recruit disaffected Cybertronians from the colonies to the [[Decepticon|Ascenticon]] movement. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 2}} Bombshell eventually discovered the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]s, and realized that they could be manipulated to help the Insecticons gather energon for the cause. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 1}} After first feasting on a dead worker [[Hook (G1)|Hook]] killed by accident, Bombshell and the other three Insecticons confronted the builders during one of [[Scrapper (G1)|Scrapper]]'s regular sparring matches; Bombshell explained their own history and encouraged [[Scrapper (G1)|Scrapper]] and his friends to embrace their full potential by taking revenge on the society that had scorned their talents. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 2}}

The Constructicons eventually agreed to attack, using their [[Devastator (G1)|combined form]]; to overcharge the Constructicons, the Insecticons killed and ate three workers, their living [[spark]]s giving the Insecticons the extra juice to produce a particularly volatile variety of energon. Once the Constructicons had over-fuelled on their energon cubes and ravaged the colony as the newly christened Devastator, Bombshell delivered a grisly, ironic toast to Nominus Prime: the bot who'd made this all possible. Many cycles later, after the Insecticons had devoured and processed everything—and ''everyone''—Devastator had destroyed, [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]]'s unit arrived to take them and their harvest back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 4}} While Bombshell and the others were in exile, Shockwave began working on a legion of [[cloning|clones]] in their image. {{storylink|Storm Horizon Part 3}} {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I|Sea of Rust I}}

[[File:EscapePartOne-Insecticons.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]

At some point during their exile, the three Insecticons had developed a taste for organic life, and not long after Megatron finally staged a coup instituted martial law across [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], the three got the chance to sate their hunger by rampaging through the city's [[Xeno-Quarter]] and attacking the [[A'ovan habitat]]. The three killed many of the endangered animals inside the facility before [[Hound (G1)|Hound]], [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]], and [[Road Rage (G1)|Road Rage]] arrived and successfully chased them off. As the three retreated back to Shockwave's base, Bombshell told his subordinates it was time to make Shockwave deliver on his promises. {{storylink|Escape Part One}} Upon arriving, however, Shockwave informed them that the cloning process would take more time before dismissing them. Unwilling to wait, Bombshell used his cerebro-shells to enthrall his fellow Riser [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]], then set out with his fellows to ambush a refugee convoy heading to [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]]. {{storylink|Escape Part Two}}

In the ensuing battle, the Insecticons made off with a pair of [[A'ovan]] refugees and the Autobot [[Scrambler]]; after they'd eaten their victims, they reunited with their mind-controlled minion Skystalker as he flew the stolen shuttle ''[[Thunder Arrow]]'' and a load of Shockwave's stolen equipment to a remote location in the [[Cybertronian Mountains]]. The three soon set up a crude cloning lab and powered Shockwave's stolen machinery with their own energon. Using the Cybertronian strata as raw material, the trio began mass-producing an army of mindless, sparkless [[Insecticon clone|clones]]; {{storylink|Escape Part Four}} after Shockwave unsuccessfully tried to assassinate the three, their clones swarmed over the city of Darkmount and caused mass destruction before they were finally repelled. {{storylink|Escape Part Four}} As the wounded remnants of the swarm returned to Darkmount, Bombshell explained the glorious simplicity of his plan: by "harvesting" the swarm and turning them into energon, they could power up the machine to create even more clones. {{storylink|Escape Part Five}}

[[File:EndOfTime BombshellSmaksKickback.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|right]]
Over the next forty cycles, Bombshell and the other Insecticons agreed to a truce with Shockwave under the stipulation that they would cooperate with the new Decepticon regime and send their soldiers when needed. As such, Shockwave contacted Bombshell and ordered him to send his clones to eliminate [[Termagax]]'s [[House (building)|House]]. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I}}

In time, the Insecticons gave in to their appetites like never before, experiencing exponential predatory growth. The Insecticlones became an existential threat to the very fabric of Cybertron. {{storylink|The Landscape of Fear}} Bombshell even began to turn on Kickback and Skrapnel, badgering them to eat even more to feed his cloning machines. A plan was concocted by Termagax to remove the Insecticons as a threat. A strike team of Autobots infiltrated the Insecticons' hive, and planted a receiver on Bombshell. A complex [[data-bomb]] was implanted in a captive Insecticlone at Darkmount, fed back to the receiver on Bombshell and, through him, transmitted to the entire swarm. The Insecticlones were reprogrammed to eat only the [[rust worm]]s, two major threats to Cybertron repurposed to eliminate each other. {{storylink|End of Time}}

Bombshell and the other two Insecticons awoke aboard the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' in 1984 once Megatron had killed the still-dormant Optimus Prime; without the Autobots to stop them, the Decepticons began a destructive campaign against humanity that ended with mankind's extinction and the apparent subjugation of their [[Skynet]] defense network. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Two}} In the year [[2029]], the Insecticons joined [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]'s [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s in an attack on Skynet's [[Omega Base]] and emerged triumphant, failing to notice that their enemy had sent a [[T-800|T-800 Terminator]] back in time to stop this future from ever coming to pass. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part One}}

In the altered timeline created as a result of the Terminator's interference, the remaining Decepticons reactivated the Insecticons moments before Optimus himself awoke, and fled with Megatron once [[Sarah Connor]] brought [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] back online. While the villains regrouped on the Oregon coastline, Megatron sent [[Reflector (G1)|Refraktor]] and the Insecticons to search for potential energy sources. The group returned shortly afterwards, bringing news of a robotics company with an apparent connection to their mysterious cybernetic attacker. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Two}} After successfully invading the headquarters of [[Cyberdyne Systems]], Megatron ordered the three Insecticons to tear the building apart to find any information relating to the Terminator, but they didn't get far before Optimus Prime and the other Autobots intervened. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Three}} In the ensuing battle, the Insecticons teamed up against Bumblebee, [[Velocity (G1)|Velocity]], and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]]; the pink Autobot killed Kickback, however, and the remaining pair found themselves outmaneuvered and incapacitated by their foes. The battle ended with the deaths of both Megatron and the T-800, but when the Autobots took their new prisoners back to the ''Ark'' they discovered that the time-travelling cyborg had double-crossed the aliens by destroying [[Mount St. Hilary]] and their only way home. With no clear way back to Cybertron, Prime suggested a truce, one which Bombshell and the other remaining Decepticons agreed to. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Four}}

Bombshell was a sadistic Insecticon with the power to control minds. {{storylink|Decepticon Directive}} He and his Targetmaster partner [[Needler (G1)|Needler]] once attempted to study the origin of [[combiner]] technology; Bombshell came to the dark conclusion that the secrets of combination likely predated Cybertron itself, and that Cybertronian combiners were tapping dark forces beyond their comprehension. {{storylink|The Enigma of Combination}}

: Released early in the second year of [[Hasbro]]'s ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' toyline (and in the first year of the [[The Transformers (European toyline)|European toyline]] and Takara's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' line), Bombshell is a redeco of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' Waruder Insecter Robo "Kabutron" toy, transforming into a robotic rhinoceros beetle. As a ''Diaclone'' mold he has a "pilot compartment" revealed by opening his clear-yellow chest, but on its own there's not much you can do with it.

: There is a variation on the mold's insect mode horn; some versions have a rounded indent on the chromed part near the base-joint, allowing it to fold down further in [[robot mode]] (pictured at right).

: In Japan, Bombshell and the other "Insectrons" were part of the first year of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' series. The trio were subsequently "re-released" as mail-order items from 1987 through 1990, a the cost of 880 yen (their normal retail price) and two [[Robot Point]]s; it seems (but has not been confirmed) that the Insecticons offered through mail-away offers were Hasbro-packaged releases, thus it's possible the later indented-horn version might have been made available in Japan that way.

: This mold was used to make the [[Salvo (G1)#Toys|Salvo]] drones.

: Released in the seventh year of the [[The Transformers (European toyline)|European-market ''Transformers'' toyline]] (the first year following the end of the US line), [[Action Master]] Bombshell is a non-transforming 3¾-inch action figure that combines the cartoon model with a few toy-based elements, feauturing a swivel neck, shoulders, knees and steel-ball-jointed hips. Interestingly enough, his distinctive head-cannon is no longer on his skull, but his hand-held blaster bears a similar design. He is designed to be compatible with any other Action Master vehicle or accessory.

: He comes with his robot scarab [[Action Master partner|partner]] [[Needler (G1)#Toys|Needler]], who forms a backpack/battle helmet for Bombshell.

: Bombshell was part of the fourth assortment of individually-carded Action Masters, which was only available in European markets. As such, he commands a pretty hefty price tag on the secondary market (as do all the European-exclusive Action Masters).

: As part of the second Collection of [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] ''[[Kre-O]]'' [[Micro-Changer]]s, Hardshell is a [[Kreon]] that can be rebuilt from robot mode into a rhinoceros beetle of some sort. He uses the [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]] style helmet.

: This Collection was still in circulation at "dollar" stores and drug stores up through 2015. They eventually lost the individual-identifying bag codes, but other changes were hidden inside the bag. The 2015 releases replaced the 2x4 logo stand-brick with a new 3x4 logo plate. The Kreon was also given the slight [[retool]]ing to the arm seen in the 2014 Kreons, making the "cuff" parts more sharp-cornered and better adapted to being used as studs. Some of the add-on pieces may also be slightly off-color, possibly due to a change in factories in mid-production.

: In 2016, Collection 2 was re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the U.S. as part of a large collection of re-released ''Kre-O'' sets. But where most of the re-releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Hardshell's [[tampograph]]s are almost totally unchanged, basically his Decepticon symbol now has a white outline and that's it.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

: Released in the first wave of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Legends Class toys, this version of Bombshell (he finally got his name back!) is based once more on his cartoon character model, still transforming into a robotic rhinoceros beetle. His hand holes are sized for 5 mm accessories. The lower pair of arthropod legs mounted on his robot-mode legs can fold in further than the upper pair, but this causes them to interfere and prevents him from standing fully.

: Bombshell was ''probably'' meant to have a third "weapon" mode like the rest of the new-mold ''Combiner Wars'' Legends Class figures, as his forearms end in blaster/thruster details, and his knees/beetle-butt have [[5 mm post]]s on them. However, instructions for this mode have never been released. There's nothing stopping you from working it out for yourself—a stable configuration probably involves pegging his arms together to form the barrels of the gun, then rotating his waist and flipping one of his knee pegs to form a handle.

: Bombshell includes a collector card featuring art from the "[[Junkion Reunion]]" episode of ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]''.

: This mold was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Adventure]]'' [[Bombshell (RID)#Adventure|Bombshell]], and served as the model for [[Bombshell (SG)|''Shattered Glass'' Bombshell]] in "[[Epilogue Two]]".

: This set was released as a [[Kmart]] exclusive in the United States. However, it was also stocked by US-based online retailers [[BigBadToyStore]] and TFSource, who supposedly obtained it as an import from Asia. It was available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely Singapore, the Philippines and China; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Canada and Australia, it was sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores, whereas in the United Kingdom, it was officially available via the UK division of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and A1Toys. In Germany, it was originally available via Bankroft, an online retailer that otherwise specializes in [[Nerf]] blasters and accessories, as part of a special "Fan Edition" arrangement through Hasbro Germany, with the help of several German [[fandom|fan]] sites. Due to low sales, the unsold stock was later sold to Actionfiguren24, a German online retailer that specializes in imported toys, who was able to lower its price for its existing stock of imported Insecticon sets as a result.

: Released in the seventh wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' Deluxes, under the ''Evolution'' [[subline imprint]], "Insecticon Bombshell" is an ''extensive'' [[retool]]ing of the line's [[Shrapnel (G1)#Legacy|Shrapnel]], utilizing previously unused tabs from him, (though curiously, not the square holes in his shin panels which he didn't use either) and with everything from the waist up being totally new, except the forearms and hands. Once again he turns into a rhinoceros beetle, and in a fit of cartoon-accuracy, his horn is ridiculously short, as is his gun. This weapon can store on the back of his insect mode with no choice but to go off on one side in one of the two ports on top of his abdomen. Unlike Kickback and Shrapnel, the weapon cannot be alternatively stored away on his underside in bug mode. Unmentioned by the instructions, the beast mode has an articulated jaw on a hinge.

: While any vestigial engineering in his lower body can be attributed to the simultaneous design of both his and Shrapnel's legs, his newly tooled back also sports additional unused features. Instead of a 5 mm port in the center of his back like most ''Legacy'' toys have, there is only a shallow rectangular slot which would be used later for [[Barrage (Insecticon)#Legacy|Barrage]]'s chest to peg into place.

: While ''Legacy'' generally strives for cartoon accuracy as much as possible in its "G1" offerings, Bombshell's torso going from purple in bug mode to gray in robot mode was pretty much impossible to replicate, thus it's purple in both modes. Promo images such as the one featured here show the bug mode's "eyes" painted in a pearlescent yellow, while the actual figure instead features flat yellow paint.

: Bombshell's head-scoop is painted silver, and in insect mode it pegs snugly inside a purple-painted slot on his collar. Beware of scraping the paint off during transformation.

: He includes his impulse blaster, and his rear insect legs are removable to serve as hand-held guns. The three can combine into a triple-barreled blaster accessory with the unbridled power of [[Evo-Fusion]].

: Bombshell would be further retooled into both [[Barrage (Insecticon)#Legacy|Barrage]] and [[Chop Shop (G1)#Legacy|Chop Shop]].

:Released as part of the ''[[Transformers Retro]]'' line, exclusive to [[Walmart]], this reissue of G1 Bombshell has a more cartoon-accurate paint scheme (in robot mode, at least), and all of the formerly chromed parts and accessories now feature metallic paint instead. It is packaged in a reproduction of the original Bombshell box which, as it happens, was big enough to include a similarly cartoon-deco reissue of G1 [[Ramhorn (G1)#Transformers Retro|Ramhorn]].

:Oddly, the instruction sheet shows the final robot mode for Bombshell as having his blaster inserted into the wheel on his forearm - this is impossible as there's no actual hole there and you cannot make one without, presumably, breaking the toy.

{{toydesigner|[[Yūkiya Amano]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Mark Maher]] (Hasbro, original tooling), [[Shuhei Umezu]] (TakaraTomy, original tooling)}}

: The TakaraTomy ''[[Dramatic Capture Series]]'' representation of Bombshell is a redeco of the [[#Legacy|''Legacy'' version]] above, aiming for greater show-accuracy. Primarily, this means he has a grey robot torso like in the cartoon (which results in a grey beetle thorax he ''didn't'' have in the cartoon, oh well), but also means he loses his sticker-style detail paint, and his arms are now solid black.

: He is only available in a set with [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Dramatic Capture Series|Skywarp]], [[Kickback (G1)#Dramatic Capture Series|Kickback]], and [[Shrapnel (G1)#Dramatic Capture Series|Shrapnel]], as well as handheld accessory versions of [[Megatron (G1)/toys#DCSpart2|Megatron]], [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#DCSpart2|Shockwave]], [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#DCSpart2|Soundwave]], and [[Reflector (G1)#DCSpart2|Reflector]], and 8 [[Energon cube#Dramatic Capture Series|Energon cubes]] (2 larger cubes for Skywarp and 6 smaller ones for the Insecticons).

**''Accessories'': "Twin ion impulse blaster", "short burst stinger rifle", Needler partner, closed fists (L & R), gripping hands (L & R), open hands (L & R)

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Super7#Transformers ULTIMATES!|Transformers ULTIMATES!]]'' from [[Super7]], Bombshell is a 7-inch-tall action figure based on his Action Master toy. Despite his retro look, he has ''way'' more articulation than the original, including multi-directional joints at the neck, shoulders (though the outward swivel is heavily restricted by the shoulder armor), wrists, hips, and ankles; plus swivel biceps, elbows, knees, and a bit of ab crunch. His hands pop out at the wrists so they can be replaced with his additional spare hands in different poses; however, the "gripping" hands are actually too small to hold either of his blasters (one based on the Action Master's accessory, one based on the original toy's) by their very thick, cylindrical handles, leaving that job to the open hands, which are not the most secure grip.

: He also comes with his Action Master partner [[Needler (G1)#ULTIMATES!|Needler]]. Needler's "head" can pop off and replace Bombshell's, emulating the Action Master's "mask" gimmick.

:Preorders for Bombshell (and the rest of Wave 1) opened on [[January 29]] 2021, and closed on [[February 28]]. The wave was originally scheduled for shipping in winter of that year, but due to ongoing worldwide shipping delays, did not reach US shores until May of 2022, properly reaching buyers in early June.

: First teased on the ''Blokees'' official site's listing of the eighth ''Galaxy Version'' kits and fully revealed at the China Toy Expo 2025, Bombshell is one of the last three major Insecticons confirmed for release in the ninth wave. He is a roughly 4-inch-tall, highly articulated, and non-transforming snap-on model kit of the Insecticon's Psychological Warfare. He is built on a "Standard Body" skeleton shared with other ''Blokees'' figures in the line, but with different body pieces to make them distinct. As advertised in the box, Bombshell has a pull rate of 1 in every 9 boxes. Aside from the 2 pairs of hands, he comes with his Twin ion impulse blaster. Bombshell features numerous upgraded parts since the line's 5th wave, including pre-assembled single-hinge elbow joints and double-jointed knees, along with updated articulation such as ball-jointed wrists, a slide-down hip joint axis, and rotating upper thigh joints, similar to his wavemates. He also comes with a small depiction of his fellow Insecticon Kickback in its Grasshopper mode, complete with Robot mode details on its belly.

:Because the newly designed knee joints are made to fit the narrow gaps in the thighs and lower legs, they are incompatible with joints from previous releases, including those used for the elbows. If you're a speed builder, be careful when attaching the pre-assembled joints; Unlike the symmetrical joints from earlier waves, the pegs on both ends of these joints are designed to connect to specific pieces; The tabs with slightly smaller holes are meant for the upper arms and thighs, while the regular tabs are intended for the forearms and lower legs. However, doing it incorrectly still won't affect the articulation.
