[[File:Cyberworld Galvatron character reveal.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|You thought it was Junkyard Ron, but it was I, Galvatron!]]

Ol' '''Ron''' has been living on [[Cyberworld (location)|Cyberworld]] for so long that he don't really remember his old life. Heck, he don't even remember his ''name''. He has no interest in the conflicts and challenges raging over his world; he's content to live the simple life of a run-down scrap collector.

...Or at least, that's what he tells those who run into him. Truth is, this old bot knows ''exactly'' who he is; he's just been biding his time, waiting until he can lure in a victim with enough [[Energon]] for him to restore his full glory as '''Galvatron'''. And once he gets it, nothing's going to stop him from conquering this digital realm...

Hiding out in the desert had forced Galvatron into the role of a scatterbrained, rusted old scrap collector, hiding out under the name of Ron. Galvatron found [[Optimus Prime (Cyberworld)|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (Cyberworld)|Bumblebee]] and [[Elita-1 (Cyberworld)|Elita-1]] as they tried to scope out [[Scorponok (Cyberworld)|Scorponok]], and held them at blaster-point. {{storylink|Game-a-Tron}} He questioned them about their goals, before a dust storm swept in, and he took them to the safety of his hut. He told them he remembered little of the past or of Cyberworld itself, but was impressed as Bumblebee bragged about how much energon the group had collected. As the storm cleared, he went outside to find his collection had been blown to the four corners, which Optimus Prime offered to gather back up as gratitude.

While the three were separated, he attacked Bumblebee and Elita-1, draining them of their energon. Running into Optimus Prime, who had seen blaster shots in the distance, he feigned injury, and Optimus carried him back, only to find an injured Bee lying on the floor. Elita-1 burst in to try to warn him, but it was too late - Ron jumped him and drained all his energon. This boosted him back to full health, fixing up his rust and corrosion, and he declared to all that Galvatron was back, and ready to wreak havoc on Cyberworld. Optimus tried to attack him with his power-up, but it proved useless, with Galvatron draining and breaking the item. He transformed to dragon mode, torched his former shack, and took off. {{storylink|Oh Scrap!}}

Ultra Magnus (RID)

Carno: Just adding the Japanese name to the opener

{{factions|autobot|hofsilver}}
{{disambig3|Ultra Magnus}}
:''Ultra Magnus is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Robots in Disguise continuity family]].''
[[File:Rid magnus.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|From angsty badass to angsty deus ex machina to angsty Super Mushroom.]]

Usually, Ultra Magnus is a [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|well-respected Autobot]] who is a great [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|friend]]/[[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|mentor]] to [[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)|Optimus Prime]].

THIS '''Ultra Magnus''' (aka '''God Magnus'''), on the other hand, is not a happy camper.

Immensely powerful, he'd be one of the Autobots' greatest warriors, armed with multiple weapons which according to [[X-Brawn]] could take out an army. Except he's not especially keen on helping the Autobots out anymore. After all, they gave the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] to his brother, [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]], and not him. This really, ''really'' didn't sit well with Magnus, and he vanished for years... only to come back with a major chip on his shoulder and a need to wallop his brother to prove that ''he'' deserves the Matrix.

He apparently doesn't understand the real criteria for Matrix-getting.

Despite his hatred of Optimus, they combine into the colossal [[Omega Prime]], one of the most powerful Autobots in the Multiverse, with alarming frequency when things get hairy. This is either because Magnus can't deny his (somewhat buried and tarnished) noble Autobot nature, or because if Prime gets blown to tiny bits, the Matrix could get blown to tiny bits with him.

==Fiction==
===Cartoon continuity===
====2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon====
{{voiceactor|[[Kim Strauss]] (English), [[Takashi Matsuyama]] (Japanese)|[[Alexandr Novikov]] (Russian, [[Ultra Magnus (episode)|Ultra Magnus]] only), [[Oleg Kutsenko]] (Russian), [[Yamil Atala]] (Latin American Spanish), [[Francesco Prando]] (Italian), [[Júlio Chaves]] (Brazilian Portuguese), [[Lee Yoon-sun]] (Korean)}}

[[File:Ultra Magnus eye.jpg|left||thumb|Do you see what I see?]]
Ultra Magnus was created by [[Alpha Trion]] and brought online at exactly the same moment as his brother, Optimus Prime. They both served with distinction during the [[Cybertronian Civil Wars]], presumably against the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]]. Afterwards, when the time came for [[Vector Sigma]] (also referred to as the [[Transformer afterlife|Allspark]]) to choose a new Matrix Bearer and Autobot leader, Magnus was passed over in favor of Optimus. Magnus was infuriated by this, and left Cybertron immediately afterwards. He became increasingly embittered, both towards his brother and mainstream Autobots in general, causing him to come off as something of a jerk when dealing with them.

[[File:Ultra Magnus Magnusprime.jpg||thumb|"Do you forgive me for getting the Matrix, Ultra Magnus?" "Nope."]]
Some time later, he tracked down his brother to the planet he was currently charged with protecting, [[Earth]]. There, he first encountered the [[Decepticon]]s and single-handedly defeated them all, even when they combined into [[Ruination (RID)|Ruination]], becoming the first being to beat Ruination without any sort of help. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus (episode)|Ultra Magnus}} He then challenged Optimus Prime for possession of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] and command of the Autobots. Optimus refused to fight his brother, however, not that that stopped Ultra Magnus from blasting him with his powerful weapon, [[Blue Bolts (RID)|Blue Bolts]]. Optimus was only saved by the intervention of [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]], [[Prowl (RID)|Prowl]], and [[X-Brawn]], who rescued their commander and transported him to a remote island to recuperate. It was there that Optimus revealed to Side Burn his relationship to Ultra Magnus, much to the young Autobot's shock. Unfortunately, the Predacon [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]] had used a hidden tracking device to locate Optimus Prime, and he, [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]] and the Decepticons ganged up on the weakened Autobot leader. Ultra Magnus then showed up, having followed Sky-Byte, and forced Optimus Prime to merge with him, becoming [[Omega Prime]], with the intention of absorbing the Matrix's power. However, he was shocked to discover that Optimus Prime had just as much control over Omega Prime as he did, and they were forced to cooperate to use their combined form's firepower to drive off the Decepticons. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus: Forced Fusion!}}

Although he remained a free agent, Ultra Magnus would come to the aid of the Autobots whenever he felt they required assistance, though he was always quick to deny that he actually cared for their safety. He also often combined with Optimus when the situation required it. These frequent combinations apparently had some unexpected side effects, as Ultra Magnus seemed to unconsciously channel the energies of the Matrix into the [[Autobot Brothers|Autobot brothers]], upgrading them to their new "supercharged" forms. {{storylink|The Two Faces of Ultra Magnus}} Although this was never explicitly explained in the show, afterwards, Optimus speculated that he and Magnus were now somehow "sharing" the Matrix. {{storylink|Power to Burn!}}

[[File:Two Faces Ultra Magnus vehicle.jpg|left||thumb|Oh for crying out loud.....PICK A LANE ALREADY!]]
Ultra Magnus once pretended to join the Decepticons in an attempt to infiltrate the group, however, this plan failed due to the interference of the Autobot brothers, who believed that Magnus had genuinely betrayed them. An all-out battle between Autobots and Predacons/Decepticons soon erupted, with Ultra Magnus proving that his true loyalties lay with the Autobots. {{storylink|The Two Faces of Ultra Magnus}} After having "gifted" the Autobot Brothers with the ability to assume their supercharged modes, Magnus now needed to contend with Prowl and Side Burn pestering him. He found Side Burn especially annoying. Despite Ultra Magnus already refusing once to join Megatron's forces, he was approached once more by Scourge, who made a similar proposition. Ultra Magnus remained steadfast in his allegiance to the Autobots, voicing his disappointment that Scourge actually believe his rivalry against his brother could be used to turn him towards evil. The rest of the Decepticons then came out of hiding to attack Magnus. Though Prowl and Side Burn came to Ultra Magnus's aid, Magnus took off, leaving the other two to deal with Scourge and the Commandos. He did feel guilty over deserting them though, and kept watch at a distance. When Optimus arrived on the scene and was unable to take care of his enemies on his own, Ultra Magnus rejoined the fray and combined with his brother to turn the tide. After a swift victory, Ultra Magnus took off once more, admitting that he suddenly had a lot to think about. {{storylink|Power to Burn!}}

{{charstubfiction|Needs expansion of those four episodes.}}
He would constantly appear ''out of nowhere'' whenever the Autobots were in trouble, using his strength, guns and combining power to help save the day. How he always managed this is unknown. When his power alone wasn't enough, he would also regularly combine with his brother, and mow down the Predacons and Decepticons as Omega Prime. After the job was done, Ultra Magnus would always take off on his own once more. {{storylink|Fortress Maximus (episode)|Fortress Maximus}} {{storylink|Koji Gets His Wish}} {{storylink|A Friendly Contest}} {{storylink|Peril from the Past}} This victory streak wouldn't last forever, as Ultra Magnus was outmaneuvered by Sky-Byte of all 'bots. Magnus and the Autobot Brothers lost [[Cerebros (RID)|Cerebros]] to the Predacons, who planned to use the small robot to control Fortress Maximus. Thankfully, Ultra Magnus was back in form in a later battle, and helped fend off the newly reborn Galvatron and his troops while a conflicted Fortress Maximus ran berserk across Metro City. Unfortunately, despite combining into Omega Prime, Cerebros slipped from Optimus and Ultra Magnus's grasp once more. {{storylink|Maximus Emerges}} Later, Ultra Magnus just happened to be taking a nap in a desert where a battle between the Autobots and a Scourge-controlled Fortress Maximus too place. He was woken up by Side Burn's "whining" and flew in to help his brother, combining with Optimus to fight the gargantuan robot. Unfortunately, the two brothers’ power was not enough to stop Fortress Maximus. Thankfully, Dr. Onishi hatched a plan to overpower Scourge's human bio-signature with a thousand Earth children. After the battle, Ultra Magnus took off once more. {{storylink|The Human Element}}

Ultra Magnus stopped Sky-Byte from kidnapping Koji and his friend [[Carl (RID)|Carl]]. {{storylink|Mistaken Identity}} He later took part in the Autobots final clash with the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] and [[Decepticon]]s but instantly combined with Optimus into Omega Prime to attack Megatron's [[Megastar|command center]]. Their attack failed. {{storylink|Surprise Attack!}}

When the Autobots retreated from battle because Megatron had the children of the world hostage with his [[Cyber-bat]]s, he stayed behind and attacked Galvatron head on. Again, he failed miserably. {{storylink|Galvatron's Revenge}}

As usual he popped out of nowhere to remove Optimus from battle and leave the other Autobots to be torched by Galvatron. Optimus asked Magnus to help him one last time. Magnus agreed, acting very surprised that Prime asked instead of ordering him. They merged into Omega Prime one last time to defeat Galvatron at the Earth's center, ending the conflict at last. Ultra Magnus then took custody of the prisoners aboard [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]] to return them to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Final Battle (RID)|The Final Battle}}

On arriving at the energy research facility, he swiftly took care of [[Armorhide (RID)|Armorhide]] and [[Rollbar (RID)|Rollbar]] before casually slamming [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]] into the nearest building.

When Optimus expressed concern for the humans, Scourge took it as a cue to threaten the nearest fleshling to try to force the Autobots to surrender. On Optimus's urging, Magnus reluctantly agreed, however once Scourge was distracted, the pair took the opportunity to punch him in the face, and the Decepticons retreated. Before Optimus could thank his brother, Magnus was rolling off into the sunset. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus...to the Rescue?}}

[[File:TFUjailbreak.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Here I am, kept in this tiny room, forced to be kept merged to this dude who I hate.]]
In [[Viron 903.0 Beta]], {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/13}} some time after the defeat of Galvatron, Optimus Prime formed the [[Dimensional Patrol]] from the ranks of the Autobots who had stayed behind on Earth, as well as additional experts in [[unspace|transwarp]] technology, to defend the planet from those who would do it harm via the "temporal and spatial nexus" in Earth's proximity. Unfortunately, Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, and several members of the Dimensional Patrol were abducted by [[Unicron]]. Here they were to battle each other in the [[Cauldron]], where their energy would feed and repair the shattered body of the Chaos Bringer. {{storylink|The Official Transformers Collectors' Club Magazine issue 1|Optimus Prime's profile in Club magazine #1}}

As Omega Prime, Prime and Magnus escaped this fate in a jailbreak set into motion by [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] and [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]]. They left Unicron for their home universe via a portal created by [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] and [[Snarl (BM)|Snarl]], {{storylink|Escape (Universe)|Escape}} but shortly thereafter they were once again called into service by [[Primus]] to join [[Child of Primus|an army]] in a [[Universe War|multiversal war]] against Unicron. {{storylink|Homecoming (Universe)|Homecoming}}

[[File:OptimusPrimeRIDprimuschamber.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Still had some anger issues.]]
The final battle of the war ended abruptly when Unicron's physical form was destroyed in another universe, resulting in the [[Unicron Singularity]], which threatened the very multiverse itself. Omega Prime escaped through a portal, expecting to end up on Optimus Primal's Cybertron, but their transit was diverted to the Cybertron of [[Aurex 405.0 Epsilon]] by [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]]. {{Storylink|Revelations Part 2}} There, they joined forces with the Autobots [[Sentinel Maximus]], [[Vector Prime]], and even that universe's version of their creator, Alpha Trion. When [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)|Nemesis Prime]] attempted to destroy [[Primus]] himself using the [[Dead Matrix]], they intervened as Omega Prime. Later, while his brother helped Primus recover, Ultra Magnus defeated Nemesis Prime in one-on-one combat. {{Storylink|Revelations Part 1}} As the group reconvened in the Chamber of Alpha Trion, Vector Prime's weakening temporal powers failed him, and he disappeared from the group. Overrun, a previously unseen ally now making his presence known to the others, assured them that the elder had simply resumed his proper place on Earth, and took on leadership of the group. Optimus and Magnus were tasked with securing the Dead Matrix in the [[Archives]]. {{storylink|Revelations Part 2}}

Ultra Magnus later became involved in the [[Mini-Con Civil War]] that erupted on Cybertron's moons, {{Storylink|Revelations Part 4}} and even fought against the reincarnated Unicron himself as Omega Prime {{storylink|Revelations Part 5}} getting to see [[Primus]] himself show up, which prompted Unicron to flee. Some months after the conclusion of the black hole crisis, Ultra Magnus and his cohorts met with the local [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and his crew. This Optimus thanked them for protecting the homeworld in their absence, and Ultra Magnus shook hands with them. In the aftermath, Magnus and his brother planned to pursue Unicron. {{storylink|Revelations Part 6}}

====Ask Vector Prime====
When the [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]] of [[Viron 1103.12 Gamma]] accidentally turned all of Earth's energon toxic, Optimus Prime and her troops had to downsize into new Spychanger forms to survive, much to the amusement of the Predacons... until the Autobots blew up the Predacons' pure energon and the bad guys ran out of energy. Optimus's nemesis [[Scourge (RID)#Spychanger continuity|Scourge]] was the only villain who made the shift to a Spychanger body, but outnumbered, she was defeated by Prime's forces. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/18}}

Ultra Magnus and his cohorts, [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]], [[Prowl (RID)|Prowl]], and [[Ironhide (RID)|Ironhide]] were later plucked from their universe and stranded on a frozen planetoid, a side effect of [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]]'s device that blocked [[Unicron]]'s attempt to kidnap Transformers from multiple dimensions. These stranded Autobots were targeted for 'recruitment' by [[Reptilion]] but rescued by the [[Child of Primus|Children of Primus]].

While a group of old fogey Autobots that included [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]], [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]], and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] were sent back to their timeline, Optimus and her crew appeared to stick around for the [[Universe War]]. {{storylink|Voice Actor Drama}}

:''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' Magnus's [[alternate mode]] is a massive car-carrier vehicle (akin to his G1 counterpart). He is able to carry all three Autobot Brothers when in "carrier mode". In [[robot mode]], Magnus is a rather towering figure due to his oddly long legs (made up of the carrier component from his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]). His "Blue Bolts" weapon can be configured into three different modes and, when plugged into the proper connectors, generate different sound effects. A button on his back also allows for an additional shout from Magnus (in either Japanese or English, depending on the version of the toy). The Japanese release is slightly different in that it uses different missiles, lacks tampographed Autobot symbols on the sides, and features darker, metallic-flaked plastics, and, as expected, Japanese voice clips. Magnus can combine with the large ''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime toy to create Omega Prime. Unchanged from the Takara release the tires featured the name "GOD MAGNUS" instead of "ULTRA MAGNUS".

:Ultra Magnus is an example of a [[partformer]]; you are required to remove his trailer, transform it into his legs, and then reattach them at the thigh to complete his robot mode.

: [[Sonokong]] also released ''God Magnus'' in [[South Korea|Korean]] markets, outwardly similar to the Takara release but using the Hasbro version's sound effects.

: One of only four all-new molds in the Hasbro ''Robots in Disguise'' line, this is a smaller, simplified version of the large Ultra Magnus made for the Basic Class. He features through-axle construction for super-fast rolling on smooth surfaces. He has room for one Spychanger on the top of the carrier mode, but, of course, they are wildly out of scale with each other. Though the toy was designed in a similar fashion as the Spychanger toys, it retains a surprising amount of articulation, with joints for the head, shoulders and legs. He only has four moving wheels; the rest are molded in.

The roughly [[Size class|Commander-class]] figure incorporates almost all the play patterns of the original, most notably he can still hold 3 Deluxe scale cars like the original toy (at the cost of [[Show-accuracy|cartoon scale]]). As is the norm with most modern figures, his articulation is increased, especially since he now has ankles.

:Of course, he can combine with Optimus to form [[Omega Prime#Legacy|Omega Prime]], though like fellow power-up shroom character [[Ginrai (robot)#Legacy|Victory Leo]], this robs him of his waist articulation. He has a [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] grill and eyes, and the Autobot emblem on his vehicle mode bumper is hot stamped. The [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|Weaponizer]]-style format of Bluebolts allows Magnus to ameliorate the hollowness problems of his original toy by storing his weapon-slash-companion in his calves and chest. The set also includes a dedicated "Matrix of Leadership" for Magnus in reference to God Magnus's [[Energon Matrix]], previously only mentioned in the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 cartoon)#Original Japanese release|''Car Robots'' cartoon]].

:Omega Prime was revealed on [[January 30]], [[2024]], with the crowdfunding campaign beginning soon after. The project reached 50% funding in only 24 hours, beating all three previous ''Transformers'' HasLabs.

:On [[March 7]], HasLab designer [[Evan Brooks]] revealed in a Hasbro Pulse livestream that due to widespread fan demand (and more importantly a patch of unused space he and [[Hisashi Yuki]] found in the set's white plastic [[sprue]]), the set would now include Magnus's traditional paired white missiles.<ref name = "Missile Stream"/> The non-firing missiles are essentially continuous lengths of [[5 mm post|5mm wide pipe]] with a 3 mm connection point for ''Generations'' standard-issue [[Fire Blast effect]]s on one end. Additional tabs along their width allow the missiles to stow on Bluebolts's back in robot mode.

:At the closing bell on [[March 14]], the set clocked in at 28,230 backers, beating the previous Transformers record by quite a fair margin (Deathsaurus, with 27,442) and coming in second only to ''Marvel Legends'' Galactus as the most successful project in HasLab history.<ref>[https://hasbropulse.com/collections/haslab/products/transformers-legacy-robots-in-disguise-2001-omega-prime The Omega Prime HasLab campaign] at [[Hasbro Pulse]]</ref>

{{disambig2|the non-living weapon wielded by the Thirteen|the combined Mini-Con weapon from ''Armada''|Requiem Blaster (Armada)}}

[[File:Machinima-POTP-Requiem-Blaster-on-pedestal.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Oh my god, who touched Sasha? ...all right, WHO TOUCHED MY GUN?!]]
The '''Requiem Blaster''' is a powerful weapon of the [[Thirteen]] that is able to draw power from a quasar's sound waves, a supernova's thermal energy, or a [[black hole]]'s gravity. The blaster is massive enough to have its own gravity and is far too large for a modern Transformer to wield or even pull the trigger.

The former archivist [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] has never encountered any record of a [[Transformer]] surviving a direct hit from the Requiem Blaster. It might just be the most powerful weapon ever.

==Fiction==
===Aligned continuity family===
====Aligned novels====
The Requiem Blaster was reluctantly created by weaponsmith [[Solus Prime]], at [[The Fallen|Megatronus]]'s urging during the battle against [[Unicron/Aligned|Unicron]]. Possessed of great power, the Blaster was capable of leveling mountains. The Thirteen decided by a vote of seven to six to allow the weapon to exist. At some unknown point, the Requiem Blaster was placed on a ship which was lost in deep space. Yet so great was the gravity of the mighty weapon that over many eons, it caused countless pieces of junk drifting in space to collect around it, eventually making it the gravitational center of [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]]. Much later, [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] found this weapon and attempted to destroy [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] with it, but he survived. The removal of the Requiem Blaster from Junkion caused the artificial planetoid to fall apart. The Decepticons had to eject the weapon out of the [[Trypticon (WFC)|''Nemesis'']] due to it overheating, and out of the very real fear of it could explode. It would later become a target for the [[Star Seeker]]s to find in their quest to destroy Cybertronians. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}

The weapon later came into possession of the Star Seekers at last, and was mounted on the ''Tidal Wave'', the ship of their captain [[Thundertron]]. Encountering Megatron and the ''Nemesis'' crew utilizing the weapon as a death threat, Thundertron remained unaware of the overheating qualities and vast amounts of energy needed to power the weapon, something the Decepticon leader knew about all too well. The Star Seeker captain boasted of how he destroyed the Autobots with the Requiem Blaster, which Megatron briefly considered a possibility before taunting Thundertron. The Star Seeker leader replied by using the Requiem Blaster on the ''Nemesis'', first blasting through an asteroid obstructing their line of sight. However, their second attempt resulted in a significantly weaker blast and the inevitable overheating of the weapon, and the ''Tidal Wave'' ultimately jettisoned the Requiem Blaster to ensure the crew's safety. {{storylink|Transformers: Retribution|Retribution}} Its current whereabouts are unknown.

====''The Covenant of Primus''====
{{stub}}

===''Prime Wars Trilogy'' cartoons===
Long ago, the Requiem Blaster was forged by Solus Prime to defeat [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], with Megatronus using it to finally destroy him once and for all. Fearing what would happen if its power fell into the wrong hands, Solus believed the weapon was no longer needed and should be destroyed. Megatronus refused, believing he should maintain custody of the weapon. {{storylink|The Swamp}} The two fought over the blaster, but it was accidentally discharged in the scuffle, killing Solus. {{storylink|Without Warning}} To prevent another misuse, the remainder of the Thirteen took back the blaster and sealed it in a dome in [[Primal Swamp]], tasking a line of bots with righteous hearts to watch over it that culminated in [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]]. {{storylink|Athenaeum Sanctorum (episode)|Athenaeum Sanctorum}}

Many years later, the whereabouts of the Requiem Blaster had been lost to time. During [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]'s assault, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] received visions of the future from the [[Matrix of Leadership]], including one of the Blaster united with the Matrix and the [[Enigma of Combination]], though he knew not its meaning. {{storylink|The Fight Begins}} Some time later, having already obtained the Matrix and Enigma, Megatronus began searching for the Blaster, hoping to unite the three artifacts to create a weapon that could drain the [[spark]] from every Transformer, the energy of which would be enough to bring back Solus. {{storylink|Consequences}} Megatron also led a team to search for the Blaster, using the [[Book of the Second Prophecies]] to determine that it was likely somewhere in Primal Swamp. {{storylink|The Swamp}} Discovering a dome hidden in the swamp, he investigated and found the gun waiting inside, thought he also came face to face with Optimus Primal, who had been guarding the gun since before he could remember. The two fought briefly, but sensing his resolve, Primal surrendered the gun to Megatron, who eventually emerged with the Requiem Blaster in hand and used it to threaten an enraged [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]]. {{storylink|Primal (POTP)|Primal}}

The team later found the hidden location of the [[Athenaeum Sanctorum]], where an information terminal explained what had happened to the Requiem Blaster in the intervening years. {{storylink|Athenaeum Sanctorum (episode)|Athenaeum Sanctorum}} The arrival of [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Cron]] led to a long fight, with [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] briefly threatening Overlord with the Blaster before dropping it as Rodimus threw Megatron into him. Primal grabbed the gun and attempted to flee the Sanctorum, but ultimately hid in the shadows until the opportunity presented itself, at which point he tossed the Blaster to Megatron, who fired it at Overlord. {{storylink|Countdown (POTP)|Countdown}} The blast took out both Overlord and a sizable chunk of Cybertron, but their victory was short lived as Megatronus sensed the blast and appeared to take it away. A struggle ensued, culminating in Megatronus knocking everyone aside and grabbing the gun before blasting off into the sky with it. {{storylink|Consequences}}

Returning to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of Sparks]], Megatronus installed the Blaster into his doomsday weapon and began siphoning the life force from every Transformer's spark. Perceptor attempted to remove the Blaster and the other relics, but his efforts proved unsuccessful as Solus Prime began to return. {{storylink|Collision Course}} A concentrated attack by Primal, [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] led to the Blaster and Enigma finally being released from the machine. Megatronus attempted to grab them, but was tackled by the heroes. {{storylink|Megatronus Unleashed}} From there, the Blaster began rapidly changing hands. Megatronus grabbed it and attempted to shoot the heroes, but was interrupted by the sudden arrival of [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]]. Megatron prepared to fire it at Solus, but was distracted when Megatronus threw Predaking's now-decapitated head. Finally, after Megatronus was destroyed, Optimal Optimus fired at Megatron, who sacrificed himself to ensure that the [[Matrix of Conquest|Matrix of Chaos]] would be destroyed in the process. In the aftermath, the Blaster was left in the care of Perceptor, who tasked himself with both studying and protecting the weapon. {{storylink|Saga's End}}

The '''Requiem Blaster''' is a powerful weapon of the [[Thirteen]] that is able to draw power from a quasar's sound waves, a supernova's thermal energy, or a [[black hole]]'s gravity. The blaster is massive enough to have its own gravity and is far too large for a modern Transformer to wield or even pull the trigger.

The former archivist [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] has never encountered any record of a [[Transformer]] surviving a direct hit from the Requiem Blaster. It might just be the most powerful weapon ever.

==Fiction==
===Aligned continuity family===
====Aligned novels====
The Requiem Blaster was reluctantly created by weaponsmith [[Solus Prime]], at [[The Fallen|Megatronus]]'s urging during the battle against [[Unicron/Aligned|Unicron]]. Possessed of great power, the Blaster was capable of leveling mountains. The Thirteen decided by a vote of seven to six to allow the weapon to exist. At some unknown point, the Requiem Blaster was placed on a ship which was lost in deep space. Yet so great was the gravity of the mighty weapon that over many eons, it caused countless pieces of junk drifting in space to collect around it, eventually making it the gravitational center of [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]]. Much later, [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] found this weapon and attempted to destroy [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] with it, but he survived. The removal of the Requiem Blaster from Junkion caused the artificial planetoid to fall apart. The Decepticons had to eject the weapon out of the [[Trypticon (WFC)|''Nemesis'']] due to it overheating, and out of the very real fear of it could explode. It would later become a target for the [[Star Seeker]]s to find in their quest to destroy Cybertronians. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}

The weapon later came into possession of the Star Seekers at last, and was mounted on the ''Tidal Wave'', the ship of their captain [[Thundertron]]. Encountering Megatron and the ''Nemesis'' crew utilizing the weapon as a death threat, Thundertron remained unaware of the overheating qualities and vast amounts of energy needed to power the weapon, something the Decepticon leader knew about all too well. The Star Seeker captain boasted of how he destroyed the Autobots with the Requiem Blaster, which Megatron briefly considered a possibility before taunting Thundertron. The Star Seeker leader replied by using the Requiem Blaster on the ''Nemesis'', first blasting through an asteroid obstructing their line of sight. However, their second attempt resulted in a significantly weaker blast and the inevitable overheating of the weapon, and the ''Tidal Wave'' ultimately jettisoned the Requiem Blaster to ensure the crew's safety. {{storylink|Transformers: Retribution|Retribution}} Its current whereabouts are unknown.

Long ago, the Requiem Blaster was forged by Solus Prime to defeat [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], with Megatronus using it to finally destroy him once and for all. Fearing what would happen if its power fell into the wrong hands, Solus believed the weapon was no longer needed and should be destroyed. Megatronus refused, believing he should maintain custody of the weapon. {{storylink|The Swamp}} The two fought over the blaster, but it was accidentally discharged in the scuffle, killing Solus. {{storylink|Without Warning}} To prevent another misuse, the remainder of the Thirteen took back the blaster and sealed it in a dome in [[Primal Swamp]], tasking a line of bots with righteous hearts to watch over it that culminated in [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]]. {{storylink|Athenaeum Sanctorum (episode)|Athenaeum Sanctorum}}

Many years later, the whereabouts of the Requiem Blaster had been lost to time. During [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]'s assault, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] received visions of the future from the [[Matrix of Leadership]], including one of the Blaster united with the Matrix and the [[Enigma of Combination]], though he knew not its meaning. {{storylink|The Fight Begins}} Some time later, having already obtained the Matrix and Enigma, Megatronus began searching for the Blaster, hoping to unite the three artifacts to create a weapon that could drain the [[spark]] from every Transformer, the energy of which would be enough to bring back Solus. {{storylink|Consequences}} Megatron also led a team to search for the Blaster, using the [[Book of the Second Prophecies]] to determine that it was likely somewhere in Primal Swamp. {{storylink|The Swamp}} Discovering a dome hidden in the swamp, he investigated and found the gun waiting inside, thought he also came face to face with Optimus Primal, who had been guarding the gun since before he could remember. The two fought briefly, but sensing his resolve, Primal surrendered the gun to Megatron, who eventually emerged with the Requiem Blaster in hand and used it to threaten an enraged [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]]. {{storylink|Primal (POTP)|Primal}}

The team later found the hidden location of the [[Athenaeum Sanctorum]], where an information terminal explained what had happened to the Requiem Blaster in the intervening years. {{storylink|Athenaeum Sanctorum (episode)|Athenaeum Sanctorum}} The arrival of [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Cron]] led to a long fight, with [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] briefly threatening Overlord with the Blaster before dropping it as Rodimus threw Megatron into him. Primal grabbed the gun and attempted to flee the Sanctorum, but ultimately hid in the shadows until the opportunity presented itself, at which point he tossed the Blaster to Megatron, who fired it at Overlord. {{storylink|Countdown (POTP)|Countdown}} The blast took out both Overlord and a sizable chunk of Cybertron, but their victory was short lived as Megatronus sensed the blast and appeared to take it away. A struggle ensued, culminating in Megatronus knocking everyone aside and grabbing the gun before blasting off into the sky with it. {{storylink|Consequences}}

Returning to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of Sparks]], Megatronus installed the Blaster into his doomsday weapon and began siphoning the life force from every Transformer's spark. Perceptor attempted to remove the Blaster and the other relics, but his efforts proved unsuccessful as Solus Prime began to return. {{storylink|Collision Course}} A concentrated attack by Primal, [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] led to the Blaster and Enigma finally being released from the machine. Megatronus attempted to grab them, but was tackled by the heroes. {{storylink|Megatronus Unleashed}} From there, the Blaster began rapidly changing hands. Megatronus grabbed it and attempted to shoot the heroes, but was interrupted by the sudden arrival of [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]]. Megatron prepared to fire it at Solus, but was distracted when Megatronus threw Predaking's now-decapitated head. Finally, after Megatronus was destroyed, Optimal Optimus fired at Megatron, who sacrificed himself to ensure that the [[Matrix of Conquest|Matrix of Chaos]] would be destroyed in the process. In the aftermath, the Blaster was left in the care of Perceptor, who tasked himself with both studying and protecting the weapon. {{storylink|Saga's End}}

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

: Part of the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Paleotrex "transforms" from skeletal ''Tyrannosaurus'' to robot and back via being disassembled and reassembled. His dino-mode tail-tip becomes a serrated sword/cudgel in robot mode, or as shown in the box art, can peg into the back of his large shoulder. Oddly, the box art and the stock photos on the back of the box depict Paleotrex's shoulders assembled on opposite sides, the former depicts the bladed shoulder on the right, and the latter on the left. This is a mirror-flip of the image rather than an alternate assembly, as the slot on the back of the shoulder blade is visible in front if you actually swap the arms.

: As a [[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology|Fossilizer]], Paleotrex can split into weapons and armor compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] for use by other ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' figures (or any figure with [[5 mm post]] compatibility), with two suggested configurations shown in his instructions. The first has his robot-mode lower body and forearms combined into a double-clawed backpack, with the dino-mode tail and pelvic assembly forming a massive battle-axe, his dino-mode head and neck an arm-mounted chompy-thing, his chestplate a shield, and his head becoming a hand-held mace (which, with the battle-mask flipped down, resembles the original ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#FirstUltra|Ultra Class Optimus Primal]] toy's [[:File:Primal's mace vs Paleotrex's face.jpg|spiky mace]]). The second has his lower body still as a backpack, but now acting as twin cannons, with the dino-mode feet plugging into the bottom of a figure's feet to be... uh, stilts, we guess, keeping the arm-mounted shield-chestplate, and combining the dino-skull and tail-axe assembly into a monstrously huge battle sword.

: Due to having tiny feet and a very oddly proportioned body in robot mode, the figure can be difficult to pose without it falling over, not helped by the fact that his "ankle" tilts are actually positioned just below his knees.

:Like all ''Kingdom'' Deluxe figures, Paleotrex 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.

: In Japan, Paleotrex was released as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive.

: This mold was recolored into [[Skelivore]], retooled with a new head to make ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Transmutate (BW)#Generations|Transmutate]], and heavily retooled into ''[[Transformers: Legacy (toyline)|Legacy]]'' ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Store exclusives|Wreck N' Rule Collection]]'' [[Spindle]].
{{--}}

==Notes==
*Much like other Fossilizers, the mask flipping down over the robot head makes for an interesting callback to the "[[mutant head]]" gimmick used by first-year ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' figures.
* The masked head appears to be based on the ultra class ''[[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Optimus Primal's]]'' skull-mace weapon. This implies some disturbing things.

[[File:Skywarp1.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|To Skywarp, ''anybody'' is a Slinky waiting to be sent down the stairs.]]
[[Teleportation]] is a dangerous tool in the hands of a capable adversary. Thankfully for the [[Autobot]]s, '''Skywarp''' is the only Decepticon known to possess that ability. Skywarp's not terribly bright, to the point where he's practically worthless as a warrior without direct and constant supervision. Left on his own, he's much, ''much'' more likely to use his amazing teleportation power to pull off really immature pranks on anyone close by, be it enemy or "friend". He takes a charmingly puerile angle at thuggery, so his pranks are well-received amongst his Decepticon peers (except the victim, of course).

Because, come on, a surprise push down a staircase is ''hilarious''.

{{quote|Don't think. Just do it.|Skywarp's life motto|[[Megatron Origin issue 4|''Megatron Origin'' #4]]}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===
{{main|Skywarp (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity}}
[[File:Skywarp danny phillips return of the transformers.jpg|thumb|upright=0.6|"Hey, kid -- smell my finger."]]
Skywarp was one of [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]'s troops which attacked the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and were thus left dormant under [[Mount St. Hilary]] for four million years.

He served thereafter under both Megatron and [[Shockwave (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]] until he was deactivated by [[Omega Supreme (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|Omega Supreme]] in battle and placed in stasis by the Autobots. ''He would then be further damaged by the future Decepticon [[Galvatron (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|Galvatron]] when the Autobots used him as a decoy for [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] as a plan to convince Galvatron he was in an alternate timeline.''

Then, when the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] recovered him (along with various other victims of Omega) and he was reactivated to be one of [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s troops, he didn't last long before being destroyed by the [[Underbase]]-powered Starscream.

Thereafter, depending on which [[splinter timeline]] you follow, he was either:
*Reactivated by [[Bludgeon (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|Bludgeon]]'s Decepticons, and then served under Megatron again when the [[Pretender]] was killed by his old boss. {{storylink|Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|Generation 2}}

Part of [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s forces which boarded the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], Skywarp was a mainstay in the early years of the Autobot-Decepticon conflict on Earth. In 2005, he was mortally wounded at the [[Battle of Autobot City]]. Depending on the timeline you follow, [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] either recycled Skywarp into [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] or [[Cyclonus's Armada]].

===Deadly Paradise===
Skywarp was stationed on [[Carob Island]], where the Decepticons had set up a mining an construction operation. Using a rare ore from the island, the Decepticons were building duplicate Autobots loyal only to Megatron. When a squad of captured Autobots escaped from their force cages, Skywarp and Starscream attempted to subdue them. Skywarp was defeated by the conjoined efforts of Ratchet and Brawn. {{storylink|Deadly Paradise}}

===Sticker Adventures books===
Skywarp (or Thundercracker) participated in a Decepticon assault on the Autobots, only to be once more beaten back. Under Megatron's orders, the Decepticons then lay low for several days, lulling the Autobots into a false sense of security. The Decepticons then stole the entirety of the Autobots’ fuel supply and attacked them once more. But Optimus, having anticipated a trick on the Decepticons’ part, arrived at the battlefield with a new supply of fuel for his troops. After sustaining too much damage, the Decepticons were forced to retreat once again. {{storylink|Revenge of the Decepticons}}

Skywarp attacked an Autobot construction site that Optimus and his troops were using to fix up a spaceship. {{storylink|Return to Cybertron}}

===Marvel Storybooks continuity===
Skywarp was among Megatron's most vicious fighters on Earth. He came to the defense of [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] during a battle with [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]]. {{storylink|Battle for Earth}}

===Marvel coloring books===
[[File:DecepticonPatrol skywarp.jpg|thumb|His hat is the fanciest of all hats.]]
Millions of years ago, Skywarp was one of the Decepticons who battled the Autobots on their home planet of Cybertron, and in outer space. During one such outer space battle, the Decepticons rammed their ship into the Autobots' vessel, and both craft crashed on Earth, where they would lay for four million years until both factions were revived to continue their war on a new world. {{storylink|A Message From Outer Space}}

When the Decepticons set out on patrol to seek the Autobots, Skywarp searched the skies over Earth's oceans, but had no luck. A report from Laserbeak of a factory building an Autobot army brought Skywarp, Thundercracker and Starscream together for a bombing run, but their bombardment had no effect, as the factory was actually a hologram generate by [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] to lure the Decepticons into a trap. During the battle that followed, Optimus Prime seized Skywarp and Megatron and hurled them into orbit. {{storylink|Decepticon Patrol}}

Skywarp was probably among the Decepticon Seekers who battled the Autobots over the captive [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster]] and [[Sparkplug Witwicky]], and was also probably one of the Seekers who subsequently attacked [[Hoover Dam]]. {{storylink|The Deadly Fuel Shortage}} Skywarp took particular joy in the Decepticons' plan to steal gasoline with a [[molecular transfer device]] as he surveyed a road's worth of abandoned human vehicles. As the Autobots came rolling to the rescue, Skywarp was first to spot them and alerted his fellow Decepticons, but the battle was lost when the Autobots were able to turn the molecular transfer device on the Decepticonse themselves, draining their energy supplies. {{storylink|Summertime Coloring Book}}

Skywarp might have been among the Decepticons who were duped into abandoning their base by a phoney Martian message sent by Bumblebee. {{storylink|A Message From Outer Space}} He definitely took part in Megatron's plan to demolish a forest in order to built a Decepticon factory (you could tell by his fancy hat), {{storylink|Forest Rescue Mission}} and later joined in an attack on what the Decepticons thought was the Autobots' camp, only to find they had been duped by another of Mirage's mirages. {{storylink|Bumblebee's Dangerous Mission}}

Skywarp and the Decepticons were the first to awake when the Transformers were reactivated on Earth; he and his fellow jets were seen flying out of the Autobots' ship by Sparkplug and Buster Witwicky. After re-energizing themselves using a nuclear power station, Skywarp and his comrades returned to attack the Ark, only to be ambush by the Autobots themselves, disguised in the form of Earth automobiles. {{Storylink|Battle for Cybertron}}

When the Autobots took part in the [[Big Car Rally]], Skywarp attacked Mirage on a coastal road during the first heat, blasting him with missiles and machine guns. He failed to reckon with Mirage's [[electro-scrambler]], however, which short-circuited his systems and sent him crashing into the ocean. {{storylink|The Great Car Rally}} Later, Skywarp and several other flight-capable Decepticons all joined in buzzing the Autobots' base in a failed attempt to distract them while the other Decepticons hijacked an oil truck. {{storylink|Decepticon Hijack}}

Skywarp sat around with the other Decepticons listening to Megatron rant about his desire to steal energy from a power plant. He was still there a little later when the Insecticons brought in the mind-controlled [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]] to analyze the plant, and took part in the battle that followed when the Autobots arrived to rescue their friend. After the [[cerebro-shell]] controlling Grapple was removed, he turned on Megatron, and the Decepticon leader was sent crashing to several of his troops, including Skywarp. {{storylink|Insecticon Attack!}}

Skywarp was among the Decepticons who went to stop [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] destroying a mysterious Autobot invention because [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] believed the Decepticons could harness it. Unfortunately it turned out to be a lightning collector which unleashed a burst of energy, knocking them all flat. When Skywarp tried to get up, instead he spontaneously transformed halfway and got stuck. With the other Decepticons suffering malfunctions as well, they all swiftly retreated. {{storylink|Autobots' Lightning Strike}}

As [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] was sent out to learn more about the [[human|strange creatures]] inhabiting the world the Decepticons were on, Skywarp was among those who monitored the transmissions he sent back. When the transmissions abruptly ceased, Skywarp wondered if the humans had destroyed Laserbeak, but Starscream scoffed at the suggestion. {{storylink|Laserbeak's Fury}}

Under [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]'s leadership, Thundercracker and Skywarp attacked a solar plant although Skywarp, for once the voice of reason, pointed out that Megatron had ordered them not to damage the solar reactor. After Starscream was damaged by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron furiously ordered them to withdraw lest they damage the reactor, the trio retreated. Rendezvousing with Megatron's forces, Skywarp admitted they'd used "poor judgement" in following Starscream's orders. Megatron let him and Thundercracker take part in the subsequent attack on the solar plant anyway. {{storylink|Sun Raid (Listen 'n Fun)}}

Skywarp was part of Starscream's squad which went to [[Phoenix International]] to abduct airline passengers, only to find the place deserted.

===The Battle for Planet Earth===
{{voiceactor|[[Peter Marinker]] (English)}}
When [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] reported that a group of Autobots were in [[South America]], Skywarp's first instinct was to go destroy them. He got his wish, as he was part of Megatron's team that followed the Autobots there, but the Decepticons were caught in the eruption of [[Mount Sheelah]] and trapped by lava. {{storylink|Terror of Mount Sheelah}} After helping kidnap some humans for use as slave labor, Skywarp was sent out on guard duty and managed to carelessly let [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] into the base. Disgruntled, he returned to complain to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] about having to stand guard, and inadvertently let Bumblebee out again. After failing to track down the Autobot, he faced disciplinary action, which probably only got worse when they discovered that Bumblebee had stolen the [[global crystal]]. {{storylink|Bumblebee to the Rescue (G1)|Bumblebee to the Rescue}}

When the Decepticons went to conquer [[Stanley Lake]] dam, Skywarp hid in the bushes and pranked the other Decepticons with Autobot engine noises. No one was impressed. He and the other Decepticons were defeated when the Autobots lured them in front of the dam and opened the sluice gates. {{storylink|Menace at the Dam}} Despite being an idiot, Skywarp was still among those Megatron consulted for ideas on getting back at the Autobots. He took part in an attack on [[Mount Levram]] on the strength of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]'s intelligence, and as a result the Decepticon base was destroyed. {{storylink|Espionage!!!!!}}

====Dinobots Strike Back====
In one of many paths ending in an Autobot assault on the Decepticons' superfuel lab in [[Mount Lomas]], Megatron was ready for them, and ordered his warrior jets into the air over [[Dolphin's Bay]]. Skywarp scored the first hit of the battle, dropping a heat-seeking missile on the water-bound [[Topspin (G1)|Topspin]]. As the only other Autobot present with a boat alt-mode, Seaspray was enraged, and being a large destroyer at the time instead of a hovercraft, he retaliated with a barrage of lasers and missiles all directed at Skywarp. It's not clear if any of them hit, but when [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]] and [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] showed up to provide air support, the former's thermal beam did enough damage to the warrior jets in general to allow the Autobots to take the mountain, so Skywarp presumably didn't fare too well. At least he scored the only documented Autobot casualty! {{storylink|Dinobots Strike Back}}

====Battle Drive====
In one possible scenario, where Megatron and his troops had tracked down Sparkplug to a cave in the mountains, Skywarp was amongst the Decepticons present, ready to pounce on the human. Then a small squadron of Autobots arrived to rescue Sparkplug. In the event that Megatron was destroyed by Swoop, Skywarp, along with the rest of the Decepticons, were easily defeated by the Autobots. In the event that Swoop retreated, Skywarp was amongst the Decepticons who remained at the cave instead of pursuing the Dinobot. Skywarp stood next to Megatron in a military formation, along with Buzzsaw, Ransack, Shockwave, Frenzy and Thundercracker, while Megatron delivered his sanction to the Autobots in the cave; "Prepare to die!" The battle that ensued lasted for two full days before the Decepticons were ready to move in for the kill. In the event that Swoop returned in time with reinforcements, Skywarp and the rest of the Decepticons were forced to retreat.

In another possible scenario, Skywarp was likely part of a large Decepticon army that Megatron led once the Autobots had been lured out in the open farmland. Skywarp didn't perform any feats of note in the ensuing battle, however. {{storylink|Battle Drive}}

====Earthquake====
In one possible scenario, Skywarp encountered an Autobot raid team infiltrating the Decepticons’ newest secret base. Though he was backed up by Buzzsaw and Ramjet, the three of them were felled in one blow by Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Earthquake (book)|Earthquake}}

====Decepticon Poison====
[[File:DecepticonPoisonMegatronFlying.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|The guy who is useless without constant supervision may not do well at Choose Your Own Adventure.]]
Skywarp was assigned grunt work at the Decepticons’ secret poison lab.

In one possible scenario, Laserbeak, Ramjet and Skywarp were hauling tanks of poison out of the lab when the Autobots returned, after having stolen the antidote to the Decepticon's poison from right under their noses.

One possible scenario saw the Autobots using Windcharger's magnetic abilities to levitate the drums of poison above Skywarp and company, and then ignite the poison over the Decepticons’ heads. The Decepticons were forced into a retreat as their lab was then destroyed by Warpath. {{storylink|Decepticon Poison}}

Skywarp was stationed at the Decepticons’ lab, charged with guarding the [[Brain Drain device]], with which the Decepticons planned to syphon away the Earthlings’ intelligence and transmute it into energy. In one possible scenario, he was one of the few Decepticons too afraid of Galvatron to desert his post when a squad of Autobots stormed the lab. He was unsuccessful in fending them off. {{storylink|Project Brain Drain}}

===The Official ''Transformers: Generation 2'' Annual===
When Starscream returned to the Decepticons' headquarters with some exciting news, Skywarp was impatient to hear it, and threatened to teleport Starscream "somewhere more interesting" if he didn't spit it out quickly. The news, it turned out, was that the Autobots had discovered an ancient spaceship on [[Table Mountain]] in [[Africa]] that could take them back to Cybertron. Naturally, the Decepticons attacked right away to take it for themselves. Skywarp, Starscream and Ramjet buzzed the Autobots from above, distracting them from the approach of the Decepticons' ground forces as they scaled the mountain. The Decepticons thought they had won when the Autobots retreated, leaving the ship theirs for the taking. They realized they had been tricked when the vessel proved to be an Autobot trap that blasted them off into space uncontrollably. {{storylink|Day of the Decepticons}}

In [[2005]], when [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] rebuilt Skywarp into [[Cyclonus's Armada]], Skywarp was also reprogrammed to obey Cyclonus. Even later, when Skywarp's original personality reasserted itself, that mental link remained. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

{{note|Though no reason is stated in-story as to how or why or when Skywarp got this new body between the Great War and the [[Beast Era]], ''Wreckers'' plotter [[Glen Hallit]] noted that Skywarp's body was based on a mass-production body type of its day, similar to Generation 1's [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]].}}

[[File:Wreckersskywarpcyclonus.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|Looks like Cyclonus was Bombshell. Neener neener.]]
After the Decepticons lost the Great War and [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] claimed [[Cybertron (planet)|the planet]], [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|another Megatron]] subjugated nearly every Transformer alive with a transformation-lock virus and an army of [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicons]]. Skywarp was one of the handful of Transformers who had slipped through Megatron's fingers, and eventually he and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] joined up with the legendary strike team, the [[Wreckers]]. Given a mission by the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]], the Wreckers fought through an army of Vehicons (Cyclonus, Skywarp, and [[Rotorbolt (Universe)|Rotorbolt]] took care of the [[Spy Streak]] drones) to steal an Autobot shuttle in order to get off-planet. {{storylink|Departure}}

Skywarp served as the shuttle's pilot, which served as a point of contention when the bounty hunter [[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]] stowed away on board, who didn't like that the Wreckers apparently now included Decepticons and Predacons among their ranks. As the shuttle approached the [[Archa system]], their given destination, Skywarp detected the homing beacon of the ''[[Sojourner's Passage]]'', an exploration ship that was lost centuries ago. Since the Autobot shuttle had been damaged en route, once it had landed on [[Akalo|Archa Nine]], Skywarp helped repair it while others searched the surface. While Skywarp was occupied with this, Cyclonus revealed himself as a traitor, stealing the [[Divine Light]], a mysterious artifact the Wreckers were sent by the Oracle to find. {{storylink|Betrayal}}

[[File:Disclosure-Skywarphonor.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Heh.]]
Though it's likely Skywarp didn't really care, the rest of the Wreckers were dealt a blow to morale after this betrayal. Regardless, the Wreckers set off for a new destination given by the Oracle, a desolate ice planet on which a search team found an exiled [[Quintesson]] scientist named [[Al-badur]]. While Al-badur was explaining the meaning of the Divine Light, an army of [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticons]] attacked both the search team and Skywarp and the others back at the shuttle. Skywarp was able to easily destroy their attackers. The search team returned to the shuttle, and Primal Prime told Skywarp that he'd be taking direction from the Quintesson. Al-badur asked Skywarp what compelled him to join this team of Autobots and Maximals; Skywarp told him it involved "returning a favor" and "Decepticon honor," things he wouldn't understand. {{storylink|Disclosure}}

After receiving an encrypted message, Skywarp flew the Wreckers back to Cybertron as quickly as possible. [[Cryotek (RID)|Cryotek]] and his Quintesson partners had invaded the planet. But on arrival to Cybertron, the Quintessons' attacks were so thick that they kept the shuttle from being able to land. Primal Prime ordered a few of the Wreckers off the ship to join the troops below, while Rodimus, Skywarp, and the remainder were to land elsewhere. {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1}}

In the aftermath of Cyclonus's betrayal, the other Wreckers were understandably wary of Skywarp, though the Decepticon claimed he had no part or knowledge of his fellow Decepticon's actions. While circling overhead Cybertron, the Wreckers' shuttle was critically hit. Rodimus told everyone else to evacuate while he kept the ship level, but Skywarp chose this moment to strike. He knocked Rodimus away and told [[Tap-Out (Universe)|Tap-Out]] to help everyone else disembark; the Decepticon was going to guide the shuttle down. When it landed, taking out a large portion of the Sharkticon invading forces in a fantastic explosion, the Wreckers were shocked. Skywarp had sacrificed his life for them? As Rodimus began to give a regretful eulogy for the untrusted Decepticon, Skywarp appeared behind them, laughing about his sweet maneuver. He had, of course, used his warping power to leave the ship at the last moment. "Did you see that? I think I managed to shove the forward nacelle antennae right through the Quint Overseer!" Everyone grumbled.

[[File:Revelations-Skywarppunched.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|If only he could have moved quickly enough to avoid that....]]
As their group joined the battle against Cryotek and Cyclonus within Cybertron, it seemed Skywarp may not have been so forthright after all. He violently silenced the overbearing Ramulus (muttering that he was surprised no one thanked him) and took his place at Cyclonus's side. Rodimus was understandably confused and hurt, but Skywarp told the Autobot that he'd more than paid him back recently and he no longer owed the Wreckers anything. Cyclonus laughed, and told the Wreckers of his mental link to Skywarp. But Skywarp muttered, having "always ''hated'' that," and attacked Cyclonus. He reappeared at the Wreckers' side again, noting that he'd only harmed Ramulus to get in Cyclonus's good graces long enough to deal the blow.

{{quote|I'll settle with the zoo crew later. But ''you''.. I ''never'' liked you. Even when you were a [[Bombshell (G1)|''bug'']] I hated your stinkin' circuits. Like I said, only [[Megatron (G1)|''one'' guy]] ever bossed ''me'' around, and it sure as slag ain't ''you.''}}

But Cyclonus had scores of Sharkticons at his disposal, and they quickly filled the chamber. Rodimus wanted to throttle Skywarp for what he'd done to Ramulus, but Skywarp shrewdly pointed out that they had bigger problems at the moment. But in the middle of the battle, a strange surge of energy passed through the subterranean chamber, flowing through Tap-Out and Skywarp, causing both to disappear in a flash of light. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

Skywarp and Tap-Out had been abducted by Unicron and, under undisclosed circumstances, Skywarp joined [[Razorclaw (Universe)|Razorclaw]]'s [[Minion of Unicron (Universe)|Minions of Unicron]] during the [[Universe War|Universe conflict]]. During the final battle within the [[Pit (Universe)|Pit]], he was defeated by [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] and [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]]. {{storylink|Revelations Part 2}}

[[File:WW3 skywarp war flotsam.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|You know the Seekers are in trouble when Skywarp is the brains of the outfit.]]
Skywarp was one of Megatron's "inner circle" in the early days of war on Cybertron, with standing high enough that he was among those who stood at the Decepticon leader's side as he delivered speeches to his burgeoning army. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

Some time into the war, on the eve of the appointment of the Autobots' new [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], Skywarp and [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] were sent to blow up a building full of pesky [[neutral]]s in [[Altihex]]. Skywarp confided to his partner that he had spent some time debating whether or not it was the right thing to do—not because it was morally wrong or anything, but because it was ''too easy''—but had concluded that, hey, of ''course'' it was, and promply murdered the neutrals. {{storylink|The War Within issue 1|The War Within #1}} Some time later, the two came with [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] when he tried to sway [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] into joining the Decepticons. Skywarp tried to stop Starscream from spilling the beans about the Seekers' next mission at [[Protihex|Sector Zero-Six]], but was told to shut up. When the trio later carried out said mission, they found that Grimlock had evacuated the area and placed a bomb to welcome them. Skywarp barely had time to teleport himself and his comrades away before the place went up in flames. {{storylink|The War Within Preview}} When Starscream decided to blame Megatron for what happened, Skywarp snapped and pointed out that it was all ''his'' fault for ''telling the enemy about their mission'', then took off with Thundercracker back to [[Kolkular]]. {{storylink|The War Within issue 3|The War Within #3}}

[[File:DarkAges6 skywarp bludgeon im faster.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|Prankster trumps samurai.]]
Following the disappearance of Megatron in a space bridge accident, the Decepticons split into several splinter groups, but Skywarp stayed with the main faction under the command of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. He participated in an attack on the minions of [[The Fallen]] in [[Protihex]], where his teleporting power enabled him to get the best of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] and gun him down. {{storylink|Conflagration}} Skywarp was also present with the Decepticons at the peace treaty signing at [[Tyger Pax]], which would have put an end to Cybertron's civil war if not for Megatron's dramatic return mid-ceremony. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath}}

Skywarp was part of the original crew of the Decepticon flagship the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' who attacked and boarded the Autobots' Ark when it departed Cybertron on a quest for energy. The craft crashed on Earth, entombing all occupants for four million years, until they awoke in 1984 to continue their war. {{storylink|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye #8}} The war reached its climax in 1999, when the Autobots and their human allies defeated the Decepticons. Skywarp and the other prisoners were loaded aboard the spacecraft ''[[Ark II]]'' with the intent that they be returned to Cybertron, but the vessel had been sabotaged by arms dealer [[Lazarus|Adam "Lazarus" Rook]], and exploded mid-flight. Lazarus recovered the bodies of Skywarp and the other Decepticons, and spent the next several years reprogramming them in order to sell them to foreign powers. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 5|Prime Directive #5}}

[[File:DWG13 seekers new toys.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Skywarp and the Seekers care not for following intended [[Play pattern]] for their new toys.]]
In [[2002]], Megatron was finally able to overcome Lazarus's programming, and proceeded to free his Decepticon subordinates in order to put forward his plans to infect Earth with a metallic virus. To pass the time while preparations for this plan were being put into motion, Skywarp, Starscream and Thundercracker occupied themselves by tearing apart the small Autobots that had also been captured by Lazarus. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 3|Prime Directive #3}} Once the virus had been unleashed, Skywarp participated in Megatron's attack on [[San Francisco]], where he and his fellow Seekers blew [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] into his component Aerialbots with a cluster bomb barrage. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 4|Prime Directive #4}}

''When Megatron was kidnapped by the [[Keeper (species)|Keepers]] and Decepticon leadership was up for grabs, Skywarp began acting more serious and ambitious than his regular "lunatic prankster" persona would suggest. One of the few Decepticons who aggressively refused to follow Starscream in Megatron's absence, Skywarp teamed up with the [[Reflector (G1)|Reflector]] trio in an attempt to seize power for himself. He lured Starscream into leaving his new kingdom in [[Las Vegas]] and travelling to Hoover Dam. Once there, Skywarp challenged Starscream directly for leadership of the Decepticons. He failed miserably, however; Starscream dealt Skywarp severe damage using his [[Null-ray|null bolts]] at close range, then tossed his former wingman over the falls. Skywarp was in [[stasis lock]] for some time thereafter, and he begrudgingly chose to serve under Starscream after his repair cycle aboard the ''Nemesis'' was completed.'' {{storylink|Transformers: Hardwired|Hardwired}}

''When [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and his private army of humans attacked Las Vegas, along with [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], Skywarp was among the Decepticons who charged out to meet them in battle along the Strip. As Thundercracker and Soundwave kept the rampaging [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]'s attention, Skywarp prepared a delicious, underhanded sneak attack. Diving at Grimlock at full speed, Skywarp planned on unleashing his heat-seeking missiles at near point-blank range for maximum devastation. Luckily for Grimlock, the little Autobot Bumblebee was willing to sacrifice his functionality in order to keep the more powerful Autobot warrior in play and took the full impact of the missiles at the last second. Enraged, Grimlock struck Skywarp with enough force to send him flying miles away into the desert and out of the fight for the immediate future.''

''Curiously, Skywarp chose NOT to leave Las Vegas with Megatron once the former Decepticon leader returned to Earth. Damaged after his time with the Keepers, Megatron lost a fight with Starscream and was forced to relinquish his leadership to the Aerospace Commander. Still, Megatron refused to serve under Starscream, and he led a revolt of several Decepticons into exile. For whatever reason, Skywarp remained at Starscream's side until the Keepers attacked, possessing Starscream as a host body and caging the rest of the Decepticons still in Las Vegas inside a dome of impenetrable energy. Skywarp assumed command of the remaining Decepticons in Starscream's absence and directed the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] into not attacking the dome directly as [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], but digging beneath the energy field to forge a tunnel they could exit through. He also made contact with Megatron's forces outside the city and agreed to wait patiently until the time was right for all the Transformers to assault the Keepers as one.''

''When the time came, Skywarp "allowed" his Decepticons to join forces with Megatron's, because it was the only "logical" thing to do. During the fight, he blasted the [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]]-Keeper with an explosive gamma radiation blast. The attack was effective, but proved moot when the Bluestreak-Keeper fused with the Starscream-Keeper, creating one massive and deformed robotic god figure. In the end, it was Optimus Prime and the power of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] which finally ended the war with the Keepers, diverting the force of a nuclear missile launched by the American government. In the aftermath, Starscream's scrap was salvaged and rebuilt, but Megatron chose to make Skywarp his new second-in-command for a time, mostly just to piss Starscream off. Still, Skywarp certainly saw it as the most "logical" thing to do.'' {{storylink|Transformers: Annihilation|Annihilation}}

''In Washington D.C., Megatron and the Decepticons stormed the White House to show their displeasure to the [[President of the United States|President]] for trying to wipe them out with a nuclear strike. Megatron assigned Skywarp to deal with the SWAT teams in the streets, then sent him into the skies to join Starscream in shooting down the air support called in by the military. Final tally—Starscream: 12, Skywarp: 5. Sometime later, Skywarp was present in the Nevada desert when the Autobots and Decepticons confronted the United States military. Thanks to their airborne tactics, Thundercracker and Skywarp did significant injury to the troops and survived the [[deconstructionite]] assault virtually unscathed. After the Keepers were finally defeated and Starscream had been restored to his normal, irascible self, Megatron chose to restore the status quo and replaced Skywarp with Starscream as his second-in-command yet again.'' {{storylink|Transformers: Fusion|Fusion}}

{{note|Although it's hard to see how, the author(s) of ''The Transformers Trilogy'' may have confused Skywarp with Shockwave, or at least combined their roles and personalities into one character. Throughout the ''Trilogy'', Skywarp made repeated references to the "logical" course of action, and once made an oblique reference to his gift over the electromagnetic spectrum. Whether there was actual confusion involved, or if the pick-up writer [[David Cian]] was forcing Skywarp to fit a role once Dreamwave's comics made using Shockwave off-limits, is unknown.}}

When the Decepticons clashed with the Autobots over a crashed Autobot vessel discovered in the Arctic, Skywarp engaged [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], dodging the old Autobot's blasts with his teleporting ability and shooting him in the back. This battle was soon interrupted by the arrival of Shockwave and his army of [[Triple Changer]]s, who had come from Cybertron to bring the planet's errant sons home. He quickly disposed of Megatron and demanded that Skywarp and the others submit to him. {{storylink|New World Order}} The Decepticons somewhat begrudgingly assented to return to Cybertron, but upon arrival Skywarp and Thundercracker were amazed at what Shockwave had accomplished in their absence. While relaxing in an energon bath, they debated how to proceed; Thundercracker believed it would not be long before Shockwave demanded they pledge themselves to his cause, but Skywarp didn't care much, advocating they do what they always did and pick the side with the biggest guns. {{storylink|Brothers' Burden}}

[[File:Revelation skywarp where is he.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Shouldn't he be able to use those air intakes to - oh, nevermind.]]
Their tune soon changed, however, when Shockwave's dark schemes were uncovered by Optimus Prime; the two Seekers ''tried'' to shut the blast door to the command centre before the Autobot leader could make it through, but they failed, and Prime throttled Skywarp until he coughed up Shockwave's location. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}} Skywarp and Thundercracker then both played possum to avoid fighting further. Starscream passed them on his way to the shuttle bay, intending to escape the planet and return to Earth, and he ordered Skywarp and Thundercracker to accompany him. They complied, and helped him load up the inactive Combaticons aboard a shuttle they hijacked. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}

Back on Earth, the Decepticons made it back to the ''Nemesis'' and set about scavenging parts to restore the ship to working order. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}} To this end, Skywarp was part of Starscream's initial salvo against the Autobot base, a decoy to be deliberately taken prisoner in order to draw out the remaining Autobots where the newly reformatted [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] could get at them. {{storylink|Night of the Combaticons}} After decimating the Autobots' ranks, [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] freed the fallen Decepticons, and they were about ready to terminate their opponents when the awe-inspiring clone known as [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]] emerged from fold-space, looking to have words with Starscream. Sunstorm's "purifying light" induced an energon overload in the Decepticons' systems, knocking them into stasis lock. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}} Skywarp and the others remained Autobot prisoners until Starscream negotiated a deal for their release in exchange for his aid against Sunstorm. {{storylink|Skyfire (issue)|Skyfire}}

Skywarp was one of the Transformers reprogrammed to serve the terrorist organization [[Cobra]] and was, along with Thundercracker, rebuilt to transform into a [[Rattler]] aircraft in the process. Their first mission was to show off Cobra's power by assaulting a peace ceremony in [[Washington, D.C.]], and either Skywarp or Thundercracker was the first to reveal his [[robot mode]] to the shocked [[United States Air Force|Air Force]] before wrecking [[Ace]]'s jet with a single punch. {{storylink|G.I.

When [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] undid Cobra's reprogramming of the Transformers, Skywarp waited on the runway in Rattler mode until [[Major Bludd]], unaware of the plane's true identity, decided to use him as his ticket off [[Cobra Island]]. After causing Bludd some stress by refusing to start his engines, Skywarp revealed himself and told him that he'd rather walk, then transformed, crushing the human to death with his moving innards in the process. {{storylink|G.I.

With the Decepticons maintaining the advantage throughout the battle, Skywarp was amongst those who approached a crippled Optimus Prime, ready to dispatch the Autobot leader. Before they could deliver the finishing blow, the Dinobots combined into [[Beast (G1)|The Beast]], shifting the Decepticons’ priorities. Skywarp joined several other flying Decepticons in a direct assault against The Beast, to little avail. The Beast then killed him. {{storylink|The Beast Within}}

His corpse would later be one of many that littered the battlefield as Autobot survivors tried to escape The Beast. {{storylink|The Beast Within Part 2, Consequences}}

At a later time, Skywarp was interviewed and claimed, to put all debates to rest, that it was indeed him who became Cyclonus after being reformatted by Unicron. Bombshell made exactly the same claim.

Later still, Skywarp had a teleportation accident, and appeared as only a head attached to an arm. {{storylink|Lil Formers}}

In a world where [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|some]] [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Decepticons]]' loyalty to the cause has changed in the wake of modern sociopolitical developments, Skywarp had long remained the Decepticons' loyal resident teleporter. However, after being forced into a revelation regarding his loyalties to [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]] and with his teleportation power lost for the moment, he would end up joining the human group known as [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]. After learning that the Joes would not be following through on their promise to restore his teleportation abilities, he betrayed them, recruiting their rogue operatives to help him heal himself. Somehow succeeding, his teleportation powers were quickly called into action when [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] attacked. Though the plan called for Skywarp to teleport the necrotic [[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]] directly into the heart of Unicron, he was wounded saving Thundercracker from the [[Maximal]]s. Carried back to Earth by his former comrade, Skywarp was forced to admit that Thundercracker was a true Seeker and that sonic booms were cool.

[[File:Alternity skywarp boxart.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Here's a prank: if you ever transform this toy, it breaks instantly! Ha ha ha ha sob.]]
A Skywarp from an unspecified [[universal stream]] was selected by [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Alternity|Megatron]] to become part of his [[Questor]] forces. Granted a portion of the hyperdimensional powers that his leader had obtained from the monstrous [[Hytherion]], Skywarp was given a new body with an uncharacteristic sports car alternate mode, a [[Timaeus drive]] that granted him the ability to travel through dimensions, and a massively enhanced teleportation power that actually allowed him to warp the fabric of space and time around him. About the only thing that didn't change was his characteristic lack of intelligence and initiative; coupled with the brain-bending complexities of higher-dimensional life and battle, this meant that Skywarp was left still relying on Megatron's specific orders for and when to use his powers.

Skywarp proved his worth when he succeeded in his mission to scour the year 2010 all across the dimensions for a trace of the two-dimensional world of the [[Planicron]]s. Precisely what Megatron needed the Planicrons for, Skywarp didn't know, but he recalled a rumor among the Questors that they were key to the destruction of the [[Alternity (species)|Alternity]], and smirked with excitement to himself as he informed Megatron of his discovery. {{storylink|Hunt for the Planicrons}} Using Skywarp's information and a [[magic]]al tablet his other agents had obtained for him, Megatron took control of the Planicrons from his base on [[Menonia]] and used them to attack the Alternity. Skywarp was at his side during these events, and was first to notice when Thundercracker, under cover of a distraction provided when Starscream made another fruitless grab for power, deactivated the tablet and freed the Planicrons. {{storylink|Alternation}}

Skywarp served as one of Megatron's Seekers. On a particular patrol, he failed to detect the Autobot Wheeljack and the energon scavenger Bumblebee, both in hiding. However, Skywarp was later part of the team who caught the pair, under the command of Jetfire. A heated debate over how to proceed led to a scuffle between Starscream and Jetfire, with Skywarp taking Starscream's side in attacking Jetfire. However, this brief duel was cut short when Megatron arrived. At their leader's command, Skywarp and the others prepared to execute Wheeljack and Bumblebee; however, the arrival of Optimus Prime and an attack by [[Elita One (G1)|Elita-1]] prevented this.

Skywarp stood at Megatron's side when the [[Decepticon leader]] spoke to the masses and passed along the news that a visitor, soon revealed as [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] had arrived.

After Megatron had announced a plan to use the Allspark to reformat the Autobots into Decepticons, Skywarp was part of the crowd that listened to Starscream's speech condemning this course of action before Megatron and Jetfire arrived, breaking up the rally and sending the Seekers back on patrol. Patrolling alongside Jetfire, Skywarp detected the comm signal of the believed to be deceased [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]]. Arriving at the coordinates, the two found Impactor's discarded communicator and Autobot Command. Though Skywarp was eager to report this and call in reinforcements with which to slaughter the rebels, Jetfire felt that annihilation should not be the price of peace and that the Autobots should be given the chance to surrender. Scoffing that Starscream had been right about their commander, Skywarp began his report only for Jetfire to shoot him in the back.

Though critically wounded, Skywarp managed to revert to jet mode, cursing Jetfire as a traitor.

Skywarp was born a prodigy, one of two known Cybertronians with a natural teleportation ability. {{storylink|Nautica: Home}} During the [[War of the Threefold Spark]], the self-styled "Lord of Misrule" willingly joined [[Exarchon]]. Exarchon and [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] tried to clone him in the hopes that an army of teleporting warriors would give them total control over Cybertron; although the ensuing legion of [[Skywarp drone]]s lacked their progenitor's teleportation powers, they remained formidable fighters, and the original Skywarp developed a predilection for leading his army from the front. After one particular battle at [[Yuss]], Skywarp saved Exarchon from an attack by [[Strika (BM)|Strika]]'s [[Strika's Heavies|Heavies]]. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Three}}

When the tides of war began to turn against Exarchon, Skywarp deserted his master; after the end of the war, he was one of the many collaborators whom [[Nominus Prime]] banished from Cybertron in the interest of preventing any further violence. Eventually, Skywarp grew tired of exile, but when he tried to jump home to Cybertron he somehow wound up stranded in [[unspace]] for many megacycles. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I|Sea of Rust I}} After seeing [[Jumpstream]] blast past him {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight I|Test Flight I}} twice as a result of her own teleportation powers being overcharged, Skywarp piggybacked on her teleport trail and materialized back on Cybertron, boldly announcing that he'd returned. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight II|Test Flight II}}

Skywarp avoided Optimus Prime and his fellow teleporter Jumpstream to keep ahold of his new toy. His bragging left him distracted, though, as [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] snared him from behind, crushing Skywarp between his massive jaws, and delivering a blast of flame breath for good measure. Gravely wounded, Skywarp barely managed to teleport away, {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Enigmatic|Enigmatic}} subsequently being tended to by Shockwave. {{storylink|Darkness, Once Gazed Upon: Part Three}}

After being sufficiently repaired, Skywarp was informed by Shockwave that Exarchon still lived and their former master addressed them wearing [[Flatline (G1)|Flatline]]'s body. Once the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] and [[Soundblaster (G1)|Soundblaster]] had been called in, Exarchon outlined his plans for resumed conquest.

The first Transformer to be reactivated when the ''Ark'' rebooted, Skywarp reactivated his master and the remainder of the Decepticon army. Let loose on an unsuspecting world, the Decepticons launched a brutal war against humanity's [[Skywatch]], devastating the Earth. After the humans had been defeated, their AI, [[Skynet]] continued to fight on. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Two}} In [[2029]], Skywarp was part of the final attack on Skynet's [[Omega Base|last stronghold]], destroying its [[fandom:terminator:HK-Tank|HK-Tanks]] before he was tackled by a [[T-8000]] whose head he promptly blew off. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part One}}

To avert the Decepticon threat, a lone [[T-800]] travelled back to 1984 to try and destroy them before they conquered the world. In this new timeline, Skywarp harassed the T-800 with his cannons when it made itself known before it struck him with a discarded Cybertronian weapon. After the Decepticons had fallen back to scout the alien world, they launched an attack on [[Cyberdyne Systems]] for its energy production capabilities. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Two}}

After thoroughly conquering the facility, Skywarp was dispatched to do a perimeter sweep for any resistance. Though initially finding nothing, he soon spied [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] spying on them, teleporting directly behind the Autobot only for his dramatic entrance to alert the scout enough that he managed to revert to vehicle mode. Using himself as bait, Bumblebee tried to have Skywarp crash into Megatron only for the Seeker to teleport back before he could collide with his leader. Before he could resume fire on Bumblebee, he was shot down by the other Autobots. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Three}}

Skywarp had recovered in time to join his fellows in cornering Bumblebee, [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] and [[Velocity (G1)|Velocity]] before Starscream betrayed the Decepticons by shooting Soundwave in the back, a distraction Arcee took advantage of to knock Skywarp into Thundercracker and take both out of the fight. When Megatron was felled, Skywarp was taken into custody by the Autobots only for the Cybertronians to find that the T-800 had remotely detonated [[Mount St. Hilary]] and destroyed the ''Ark''. Though Skywarp indulged in some gallows humour, he ultimately agreed to Optimus Prime's proposal of a truce. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Four}}

Though initially sent to do rounds, Skywarp was called back into battle by Starscream when [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] arrived. After Thundercracker had been shot down, Arcee forced Skywarp and Starscream into each other's airspace allowing [[Rarity]] to use her [[magic]] to tangle them with Starscream's would-be conquering cape. With both jets caught in the fabric, Skywarp simply teleported away, leaving Starscream to make an out of control crash. {{storylink|Shine Like a Diamond}}

After returning to Cybertron, Skywarp was present when the Decepticons' attempt to obtain Equestrian magic led to the revival of [[King Sombra]]. {{storylink|The Magic of Cybertron}} He, Starscream and Thundercracker formed an alliance with [[Rainbow Dash]] and the [[Wonderbolt]]s, during which they were attacked by Sombra's forces. Along with Thundercracker, he disagreed with the idea of destroying the attackers, highlighting they would need their fellow Decepticons freed to retake Cybertron. To his indignation, Rainbow and [[Spitfire (MLP)|Spitfire]] used his wings as a shield from the attacks as Rainbow explained her plan. As the Wonderbolts distracted the possessed bots, the Seekers incapacitated them with net bombs. When Thundercracker suggested finishing off the captured Autobots, Skywarp noted they would need expendable soldiers in the coming battle before the two, much to Starscream's disbelief, joined the Wonderbolts in cheering Rainbow Dash for her plan. {{storylink|Stunt Flying}}

Reconstructed by Teletraan One as [[Starscream (G1)#Energon Universe|Starscream]] fought [[Optimus Prime (G1)#Energon Universe|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ratchet (G1)#Energon Universe|Ratchet]], he began dragging [[Soundwave (G1)#Energon Universe|other Decepticons]] closer to the supercomputer so it would reconstruct them before any Autobots, leaving the other side outnumbered. This plan was disrupted when Optimus Prime chose to cut his losses, shoot Teletraan One, and escape with Ratchet, the bodies of his fellow Autobots, and two humans who had stumbled into the conflict. Starscream and Skywarp gave chase, the pair landing a fatal blow on [[Jetfire (G1)#Energon Universe|Jetfire]] when he tried to interfere with their hunt, but they were forced to return to base when Skywarp's energon reserves ran dangerously low. Returning to the Ark, he watched as Soundwave talked Starscream into going and acquiring more energon for them to enact repairs. {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 1|Transformers #1}}

[[File:TF2023_–_Skywarp_crashes_the_party.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.25]]
Skywarp accompanied his fellow Decepticons in an attack on the power plant Starscream discovered, reveling in the amount of energy being collected and violence inflicted onto the humans before being warned by Soundwave of a falling jet. {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 2|Transformers #2}} The Decepticons returned with the energy and some surplus materials to the ''Ark'' for the repairs required, although Skywarp was content to simply sip energy from an extra canister. However, when [[Laserbeak (G1)#Energon Universe|Laserbeak]] sent a priority message to Soundwave about an Autobot, Starscream ordered Skywarp to deal with it. "It" turned out to be [[Cliffjumper (G1)#Energon Universe|Cliffjumper]] under fire from some humans at a downtown bar. Skywarp touched down and punched Cliffjumper before harassing the humans whose bullets he shrugged off. As the humans scrambled to get more firepower, Skywarp prepared to finish off Cliffjumper. He stopped briefly to laugh as [[Carly]] attempted to protect the Autobot.

[[File:TF2023 – Skywarp takes a sip.jpg|thumb|left|You think he's a Coke guy or a Pepsi guy?]]
He was prevented from killing the two by the arrival of Optimus Prime. Skywarp exchanged fire with the Autobot leader before using his teleportation abilities to catch Prime off-guard. He wasn't caught off-guard for long, quickly bashing Skywarp into the ground and preparing to finish him off. Luckily for Skywarp, the humans found their better firepower: a rocket launcher they fired straight into Optimus' arm. Skywarp quickly took advantage by firing straight into the wound, gloating about how the humans, like Optimus, weren't just weak but also stupid. This development caused [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#Energon Universe|one of the humans]] to rush in and be struck by a stray bullet. ''This'' development spurred Optimus into a rage, leading Prime to tear off his damaged arm and beat Skywarp senseless with it. {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 3|Transformers #3}}

[[File:Skywarp gets Jazzed.jpeg|thumb|right|No! I want TWO!]]
Skywarp was found by Starscream in desperate need of repairs. After begging Starscream to help him, Starscream simply asked where Optimus headed. Skywarp told him and he flew off, leaving Skywarp. Skywarp was next seen aboard the Ark while Starscream and Soundwave discussed repairs. When Soundwave acknowledged that they needed cybertronian technology to repair themselves, they tore Skywarp apart to use his parts. Poor guy.

==Commercial appearances==
Skywarp appeared in numerous television commercials. Those with original footage of Skywarp include:

[[File:1986 Comm Skywarp and Cyclonus.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
*Soon after the Transformers awakening on Earth, Skywarp joined Starscream and Thundercracker in approaching a human power plant from the air. Jazz, Sideswipe, and Prowl rolled out to oppose them, and the three jets transformed to robot mode and joined their comrades on the ground to fight back. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#The Transformers #1|''The Transformers'' #1 commercial}}
*Skywarp and his fellow Seekers had a rematch with Jazz, Sideswipe, and Prowl when they strafed them on a desert road, then transformed to grapple with them in [[robot mode]]. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Decepticon jets & Autobot cars|Decepticon jets & Autobot cars commercial}}
*Skywarp and Starscream had Optimus Prime pinned down in a firefight in a rocky landscape until new Autobots Hot Rod, Kup, and Blurr joined the fight. Skywarp was bowled over by Blurr's speed, but Decepticon reinforcements soon arrived in the form of Cyclonus and Scourge. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Hot Rod, Kup, Blurr, Cyclonus, Scourge, Rodimus Prime|Hot Rod, Kup, Blurr, Cyclonus, Scourge, and Rodimus Prime commercial}}
*When the Seekers attacked the Autobots' launch site, Skywarp had the ignominious distinction of being dramatically blasted out of the air in one shot by Ultra Magnus. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Ultra Magnus|Ultra Magnus commercial}}
*Skywarp flew into battle alongside Galvatron, and was harried by laser fire from Tracks and Jazz. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Ultra Magnus and Galvatron|Ultra Magnus and Galvatron commercial}}
*Few Decepticons could stand up to the Dinobots, as was proven when the prehistoric Autobots trampled Skywarp, Thundercracker, and Starscream. Skywarp couldn't hold back a charge from an angry [[Slag (G1)|Slag]]. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Predacons|Predacons commercial}}

He has also appeared in some online promotional videos:

Dinobots (Legends)|S.O.S. Dinobots}}

Skywarp was amongst the Decepticons who coated themselves with [[Electrum]] after Thrust had discovered a lagoon full of the stuff. Invulnerable to Autobot firepower thanks to the substance's properties, the Decepticons were able to defeat Omega Supreme. They found themselves at a disadvantage when the Autobots also gained access to the Electrum, and the Decepticon's own invulnerability wore off first. {{storylink|The Golden Lagoon (Legends)|The Golden Lagoon}} Skywarp and Thrust encountered [[Autobot X (G1)|Autobot X]], a patchwork beast with the mind of [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]], and managed to convince him that the Autobots were his enemy.

*Skywarp's one-line characterization in the original Transformers [[production bible]] was "sneaky but dumb". Hee hee. [http://tfarchive.com/cartoons/bible/#034] In a more peculiar note, his longer write-up in the production bible noted that he was colored olive drab. [http://tfarchive.com/cartoons/bible/#038] This error isn't as unusual as one might first think, as Skywarp was the only first-year jet whose colors didn't originate in ''[[Diaclone]]''—thus, they simply may not have been decided upon when the production bible was written.
*A handful of [[Marvel Books]] coloring books (among them ''[[Decepticon Patrol]]'') depict Skywarp and [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] with original head designs. It's possible these were developed so kids could tell the characters apart in black and white, but the numerous [[character model]] oddities in these books make any kind of certain judgment difficult.
*Stories written by [[Simon Furman]] (including ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'', ''[[The Transformers: Regeneration One|Regeneration One]]'', and his contributions to [[2005 IDW continuity]]) usually depict Skywarp's teleportation as the opening of a distinct portal in space through which he and others can then travel. Other creators opt—following the lead of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]]—to present the power as Nightcrawler-like self-teleportation, with Skywarp disappearing in a flash of light.
*Character bios written by unknown persons for the Australian (Madman) DVD release of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' definitely claim that [[Cyclonus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Who is Cyclonus?|Skywarp became Cyclonus]]. Basically, nobody considers that weighty "evidence".

:''Skywarp is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Skywarp1.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|To Skywarp, ''anybody'' is a Slinky waiting to be sent down the stairs.]]
[[Teleportation]] is a dangerous tool in the hands of a capable adversary. Thankfully for the [[Autobot]]s, '''Skywarp''' is the only Decepticon known to possess that ability. Skywarp's not terribly bright, to the point where he's practically worthless as a warrior without direct and constant supervision. Left on his own, he's much, ''much'' more likely to use his amazing teleportation power to pull off really immature pranks on anyone close by, be it enemy or "friend". He takes a charmingly puerile angle at thuggery, so his pranks are well-received amongst his Decepticon peers (except the victim, of course).

Because, come on, a surprise push down a staircase is ''hilarious''.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
{{main|Skywarp (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity}}
[[File:Skywarp danny phillips return of the transformers.jpg|thumb|upright=0.6|"Hey, kid -- smell my finger."]]
Skywarp was one of [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]'s troops which attacked the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and were thus left dormant under [[Mount St. Hilary]] for four million years.

He served thereafter under both Megatron and [[Shockwave (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]] until he was deactivated by [[Omega Supreme (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|Omega Supreme]] in battle and placed in stasis by the Autobots. ''He would then be further damaged by the future Decepticon [[Galvatron (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|Galvatron]] when the Autobots used him as a decoy for [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] as a plan to convince Galvatron he was in an alternate timeline.''

Then, when the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] recovered him (along with various other victims of Omega) and he was reactivated to be one of [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s troops, he didn't last long before being destroyed by the [[Underbase]]-powered Starscream.

Thereafter, depending on which [[splinter timeline]] you follow, he was either:
*Reactivated by [[Bludgeon (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|Bludgeon]]'s Decepticons, and then served under Megatron again when the [[Pretender]] was killed by his old boss. {{storylink|Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|Generation 2}}
*Rebuilt, with his memory restored from old backups, by Megatron and the severed head of Shockwave before briefly falling under the control of [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]]. {{storylink|Primax 207.0 Epsilon|Classicsverse}}
*Turned into a [[zombie]]-like puppet by Megatron, until his body was ultimately vaporised by the Autobots. {{storylink|The Transformers: Regeneration One|Regeneration One}}

===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
[[File:MTMTEpt1 skywarp.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"Does this planet have stairs? Please tell me it has stairs."]]
{{main|Skywarp (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity}}
Part of [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s forces which boarded the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], Skywarp was a mainstay in the early years of the Autobot-Decepticon conflict on Earth. In 2005, he was mortally wounded at the [[Battle of Autobot City]]. Depending on the timeline you follow, [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] either recycled Skywarp into [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] or [[Cyclonus's Armada]].

===Deadly Paradise===
Skywarp was stationed on [[Carob Island]], where the Decepticons had set up a mining an construction operation. Using a rare ore from the island, the Decepticons were building duplicate Autobots loyal only to Megatron. When a squad of captured Autobots escaped from their force cages, Skywarp and Starscream attempted to subdue them. Skywarp was defeated by the conjoined efforts of Ratchet and Brawn. {{storylink|Deadly Paradise}}

===Sticker Adventures books===
Skywarp (or Thundercracker) participated in a Decepticon assault on the Autobots, only to be once more beaten back. Under Megatron's orders, the Decepticons then lay low for several days, lulling the Autobots into a false sense of security. The Decepticons then stole the entirety of the Autobots’ fuel supply and attacked them once more. But Optimus, having anticipated a trick on the Decepticons’ part, arrived at the battlefield with a new supply of fuel for his troops. After sustaining too much damage, the Decepticons were forced to retreat once again. {{storylink|Revenge of the Decepticons}}

Skywarp attacked an Autobot construction site that Optimus and his troops were using to fix up a spaceship. {{storylink|Return to Cybertron}}

===Marvel Storybooks continuity===
Skywarp was among Megatron's most vicious fighters on Earth. He came to the defense of [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] during a battle with [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]]. {{storylink|Battle for Earth}}

===Marvel coloring books===
[[File:DecepticonPatrol skywarp.jpg|thumb|His hat is the fanciest of all hats.]]
Millions of years ago, Skywarp was one of the Decepticons who battled the Autobots on their home planet of Cybertron, and in outer space. During one such outer space battle, the Decepticons rammed their ship into the Autobots' vessel, and both craft crashed on Earth, where they would lay for four million years until both factions were revived to continue their war on a new world. {{storylink|A Message From Outer Space}}

When the Decepticons set out on patrol to seek the Autobots, Skywarp searched the skies over Earth's oceans, but had no luck. A report from Laserbeak of a factory building an Autobot army brought Skywarp, Thundercracker and Starscream together for a bombing run, but their bombardment had no effect, as the factory was actually a hologram generate by [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] to lure the Decepticons into a trap. During the battle that followed, Optimus Prime seized Skywarp and Megatron and hurled them into orbit. {{storylink|Decepticon Patrol}}

Skywarp was probably among the Decepticon Seekers who battled the Autobots over the captive [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster]] and [[Sparkplug Witwicky]], and was also probably one of the Seekers who subsequently attacked [[Hoover Dam]]. {{storylink|The Deadly Fuel Shortage}} Skywarp took particular joy in the Decepticons' plan to steal gasoline with a [[molecular transfer device]] as he surveyed a road's worth of abandoned human vehicles. As the Autobots came rolling to the rescue, Skywarp was first to spot them and alerted his fellow Decepticons, but the battle was lost when the Autobots were able to turn the molecular transfer device on the Decepticonse themselves, draining their energy supplies. {{storylink|Summertime Coloring Book}}

Skywarp might have been among the Decepticons who were duped into abandoning their base by a phoney Martian message sent by Bumblebee. {{storylink|A Message From Outer Space}} He definitely took part in Megatron's plan to demolish a forest in order to built a Decepticon factory (you could tell by his fancy hat), {{storylink|Forest Rescue Mission}} and later joined in an attack on what the Decepticons thought was the Autobots' camp, only to find they had been duped by another of Mirage's mirages. {{storylink|Bumblebee's Dangerous Mission}}

[[File:GreatCarRally skywarp vs mirage.jpg|left|thumb|If only he could somehow appear quickly and surprisingly, he'd be able to hit his targets.]]
Skywarp and the Decepticons were the first to awake when the Transformers were reactivated on Earth; he and his fellow jets were seen flying out of the Autobots' ship by Sparkplug and Buster Witwicky. After re-energizing themselves using a nuclear power station, Skywarp and his comrades returned to attack the Ark, only to be ambush by the Autobots themselves, disguised in the form of Earth automobiles. {{Storylink|Battle for Cybertron}}

When the Autobots took part in the [[Big Car Rally]], Skywarp attacked Mirage on a coastal road during the first heat, blasting him with missiles and machine guns. He failed to reckon with Mirage's [[electro-scrambler]], however, which short-circuited his systems and sent him crashing into the ocean. {{storylink|The Great Car Rally}} Later, Skywarp and several other flight-capable Decepticons all joined in buzzing the Autobots' base in a failed attempt to distract them while the other Decepticons hijacked an oil truck. {{storylink|Decepticon Hijack}}

Skywarp sat around with the other Decepticons listening to Megatron rant about his desire to steal energy from a power plant. He was still there a little later when the Insecticons brought in the mind-controlled [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]] to analyze the plant, and took part in the battle that followed when the Autobots arrived to rescue their friend. After the [[cerebro-shell]] controlling Grapple was removed, he turned on Megatron, and the Decepticon leader was sent crashing to several of his troops, including Skywarp. {{storylink|Insecticon Attack!}}

{{note|Skywarp appears in the illustrations of "[[Car Show Blow Up]]", but the text of the book makes it clear he's been mistakenly drawn in place of Starscream.}}

===Kid Stuff storybooks===
Skywarp was among the Decepticons who attacked the travelling Dinobots in an attempt to learn the location of their subterranean Arctic [[recovery base]] and the oil supply it held. {{storylink|Jaws of Terror}} Later, he and the other jets took part in a series of hit-and-run attacks on Autobot superjet forces around the Pacific Rim to draw attention away from their operations on the island of [[Buru]]. {{storylink|Slaves of the Insecticons}}

===Ladybird Books continuity===
[[File:AutobotsLightningStrike Skywarp gets zapped.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1||I warned you about stairs, bro! I told you, dog!]]
Skywarp was among the Decepticons who went to stop [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] destroying a mysterious Autobot invention because [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] believed the Decepticons could harness it. Unfortunately it turned out to be a lightning collector which unleashed a burst of energy, knocking them all flat. When Skywarp tried to get up, instead he spontaneously transformed halfway and got stuck. With the other Decepticons suffering malfunctions as well, they all swiftly retreated. {{storylink|Autobots' Lightning Strike}}

As [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] was sent out to learn more about the [[human|strange creatures]] inhabiting the world the Decepticons were on, Skywarp was among those who monitored the transmissions he sent back. When the transmissions abruptly ceased, Skywarp wondered if the humans had destroyed Laserbeak, but Starscream scoffed at the suggestion. {{storylink|Laserbeak's Fury}}

Under [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]'s leadership, Thundercracker and Skywarp attacked a solar plant although Skywarp, for once the voice of reason, pointed out that Megatron had ordered them not to damage the solar reactor. After Starscream was damaged by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron furiously ordered them to withdraw lest they damage the reactor, the trio retreated. Rendezvousing with Megatron's forces, Skywarp admitted they'd used "poor judgement" in following Starscream's orders. Megatron let him and Thundercracker take part in the subsequent attack on the solar plant anyway. {{storylink|Sun Raid (Listen 'n Fun)}}

Skywarp was part of Starscream's squad which went to [[Phoenix International]] to abduct airline passengers, only to find the place deserted. The squad headed for the warehouse where all the hostages were being held, only to find that the Autobots were already there, and the trio were swiftly beaten into a retreat. {{storylink|Sun Raid (Listen 'n Play)}}

===The Battle for Planet Earth===
{{voiceactor|[[Peter Marinker]] (English)}}
When [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] reported that a group of Autobots were in [[South America]], Skywarp's first instinct was to go destroy them. He got his wish, as he was part of Megatron's team that followed the Autobots there, but the Decepticons were caught in the eruption of [[Mount Sheelah]] and trapped by lava. {{storylink|Terror of Mount Sheelah}} After helping kidnap some humans for use as slave labor, Skywarp was sent out on guard duty and managed to carelessly let [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] into the base. Disgruntled, he returned to complain to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] about having to stand guard, and inadvertently let Bumblebee out again. After failing to track down the Autobot, he faced disciplinary action, which probably only got worse when they discovered that Bumblebee had stolen the [[global crystal]]. {{storylink|Bumblebee to the Rescue (G1)|Bumblebee to the Rescue}}

When the Decepticons went to conquer [[Stanley Lake]] dam, Skywarp hid in the bushes and pranked the other Decepticons with Autobot engine noises. No one was impressed. He and the other Decepticons were defeated when the Autobots lured them in front of the dam and opened the sluice gates. {{storylink|Menace at the Dam}} Despite being an idiot, Skywarp was still among those Megatron consulted for ideas on getting back at the Autobots. He took part in an attack on [[Mount Levram]] on the strength of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]'s intelligence, and as a result the Decepticon base was destroyed. {{storylink|Espionage!!!!!}}

====Dinobots Strike Back====
In one of many paths ending in an Autobot assault on the Decepticons' superfuel lab in [[Mount Lomas]], Megatron was ready for them, and ordered his warrior jets into the air over [[Dolphin's Bay]]. Skywarp scored the first hit of the battle, dropping a heat-seeking missile on the water-bound [[Topspin (G1)|Topspin]]. As the only other Autobot present with a boat alt-mode, Seaspray was enraged, and being a large destroyer at the time instead of a hovercraft, he retaliated with a barrage of lasers and missiles all directed at Skywarp. It's not clear if any of them hit, but when [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]] and [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] showed up to provide air support, the former's thermal beam did enough damage to the warrior jets in general to allow the Autobots to take the mountain, so Skywarp presumably didn't fare too well. At least he scored the only documented Autobot casualty! {{storylink|Dinobots Strike Back}}

====Battle Drive====
In one possible scenario, where Megatron and his troops had tracked down Sparkplug to a cave in the mountains, Skywarp was amongst the Decepticons present, ready to pounce on the human. Then a small squadron of Autobots arrived to rescue Sparkplug. In the event that Megatron was destroyed by Swoop, Skywarp, along with the rest of the Decepticons, were easily defeated by the Autobots. In the event that Swoop retreated, Skywarp was amongst the Decepticons who remained at the cave instead of pursuing the Dinobot. Skywarp stood next to Megatron in a military formation, along with Buzzsaw, Ransack, Shockwave, Frenzy and Thundercracker, while Megatron delivered his sanction to the Autobots in the cave; "Prepare to die!" The battle that ensued lasted for two full days before the Decepticons were ready to move in for the kill. In the event that Swoop returned in time with reinforcements, Skywarp and the rest of the Decepticons were forced to retreat.

In another possible scenario, Skywarp was likely part of a large Decepticon army that Megatron led once the Autobots had been lured out in the open farmland. Skywarp didn't perform any feats of note in the ensuing battle, however. {{storylink|Battle Drive}}

====Earthquake====
In one possible scenario, Skywarp encountered an Autobot raid team infiltrating the Decepticons’ newest secret base. Though he was backed up by Buzzsaw and Ramjet, the three of them were felled in one blow by Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Earthquake (book)|Earthquake}}

====Decepticon Poison====
[[File:DecepticonPoisonMegatronFlying.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|The guy who is useless without constant supervision may not do well at Choose Your Own Adventure.]]
Skywarp was assigned grunt work at the Decepticons’ secret poison lab.

In one possible scenario, Laserbeak, Ramjet and Skywarp were hauling tanks of poison out of the lab when the Autobots returned, after having stolen the antidote to the Decepticon's poison from right under their noses.

One possible scenario saw the Autobots using Windcharger's magnetic abilities to levitate the drums of poison above Skywarp and company, and then ignite the poison over the Decepticons’ heads. The Decepticons were forced into a retreat as their lab was then destroyed by Warpath. {{storylink|Decepticon Poison}}

====Project Brain Drain====

Skywarp was stationed at the Decepticons’ lab, charged with guarding the [[Brain Drain device]], with which the Decepticons planned to syphon away the Earthlings’ intelligence and transmute it into energy. In one possible scenario, he was one of the few Decepticons too afraid of Galvatron to desert his post when a squad of Autobots stormed the lab. He was unsuccessful in fending them off. {{storylink|Project Brain Drain}}

===The Official ''Transformers: Generation 2'' Annual===
When Starscream returned to the Decepticons' headquarters with some exciting news, Skywarp was impatient to hear it, and threatened to teleport Starscream "somewhere more interesting" if he didn't spit it out quickly. The news, it turned out, was that the Autobots had discovered an ancient spaceship on [[Table Mountain]] in [[Africa]] that could take them back to Cybertron. Naturally, the Decepticons attacked right away to take it for themselves. Skywarp, Starscream and Ramjet buzzed the Autobots from above, distracting them from the approach of the Decepticons' ground forces as they scaled the mountain. The Decepticons thought they had won when the Autobots retreated, leaving the ship theirs for the taking. They realized they had been tricked when the vessel proved to be an Autobot trap that blasted them off into space uncontrollably. {{storylink|Day of the Decepticons}}

In [[2005]], when [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] rebuilt Skywarp into [[Cyclonus's Armada]], Skywarp was also reprogrammed to obey Cyclonus. Even later, when Skywarp's original personality reasserted itself, that mental link remained. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

{{note|Though no reason is stated in-story as to how or why or when Skywarp got this new body between the Great War and the [[Beast Era]], ''Wreckers'' plotter [[Glen Hallit]] noted that Skywarp's body was based on a mass-production body type of its day, similar to Generation 1's [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]].}}

[[File:Wreckersskywarpcyclonus.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|Looks like Cyclonus was Bombshell. Neener neener.]]
After the Decepticons lost the Great War and [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] claimed [[Cybertron (planet)|the planet]], [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|another Megatron]] subjugated nearly every Transformer alive with a transformation-lock virus and an army of [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicons]]. Skywarp was one of the handful of Transformers who had slipped through Megatron's fingers, and eventually he and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] joined up with the legendary strike team, the [[Wreckers]]. Given a mission by the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]], the Wreckers fought through an army of Vehicons (Cyclonus, Skywarp, and [[Rotorbolt (Universe)|Rotorbolt]] took care of the [[Spy Streak]] drones) to steal an Autobot shuttle in order to get off-planet. {{storylink|Departure}}

Skywarp served as the shuttle's pilot, which served as a point of contention when the bounty hunter [[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]] stowed away on board, who didn't like that the Wreckers apparently now included Decepticons and Predacons among their ranks. As the shuttle approached the [[Archa system]], their given destination, Skywarp detected the homing beacon of the ''[[Sojourner's Passage]]'', an exploration ship that was lost centuries ago. Since the Autobot shuttle had been damaged en route, once it had landed on [[Akalo|Archa Nine]], Skywarp helped repair it while others searched the surface. While Skywarp was occupied with this, Cyclonus revealed himself as a traitor, stealing the [[Divine Light]], a mysterious artifact the Wreckers were sent by the Oracle to find. {{storylink|Betrayal}}

[[File:Disclosure-Skywarphonor.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Heh.]]
Though it's likely Skywarp didn't really care, the rest of the Wreckers were dealt a blow to morale after this betrayal. Regardless, the Wreckers set off for a new destination given by the Oracle, a desolate ice planet on which a search team found an exiled [[Quintesson]] scientist named [[Al-badur]]. While Al-badur was explaining the meaning of the Divine Light, an army of [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticons]] attacked both the search team and Skywarp and the others back at the shuttle. Skywarp was able to easily destroy their attackers. The search team returned to the shuttle, and Primal Prime told Skywarp that he'd be taking direction from the Quintesson. Al-badur asked Skywarp what compelled him to join this team of Autobots and Maximals; Skywarp told him it involved "returning a favor" and "Decepticon honor," things he wouldn't understand. {{storylink|Disclosure}}

After receiving an encrypted message, Skywarp flew the Wreckers back to Cybertron as quickly as possible. [[Cryotek (RID)|Cryotek]] and his Quintesson partners had invaded the planet. But on arrival to Cybertron, the Quintessons' attacks were so thick that they kept the shuttle from being able to land. Primal Prime ordered a few of the Wreckers off the ship to join the troops below, while Rodimus, Skywarp, and the remainder were to land elsewhere. {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1}}

In the aftermath of Cyclonus's betrayal, the other Wreckers were understandably wary of Skywarp, though the Decepticon claimed he had no part or knowledge of his fellow Decepticon's actions. While circling overhead Cybertron, the Wreckers' shuttle was critically hit. Rodimus told everyone else to evacuate while he kept the ship level, but Skywarp chose this moment to strike. He knocked Rodimus away and told [[Tap-Out (Universe)|Tap-Out]] to help everyone else disembark; the Decepticon was going to guide the shuttle down. When it landed, taking out a large portion of the Sharkticon invading forces in a fantastic explosion, the Wreckers were shocked. Skywarp had sacrificed his life for them? As Rodimus began to give a regretful eulogy for the untrusted Decepticon, Skywarp appeared behind them, laughing about his sweet maneuver. He had, of course, used his warping power to leave the ship at the last moment. "Did you see that? I think I managed to shove the forward nacelle antennae right through the Quint Overseer!" Everyone grumbled.

[[File:Revelations-Skywarppunched.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|If only he could have moved quickly enough to avoid that....]]
As their group joined the battle against Cryotek and Cyclonus within Cybertron, it seemed Skywarp may not have been so forthright after all. He violently silenced the overbearing Ramulus (muttering that he was surprised no one thanked him) and took his place at Cyclonus's side. Rodimus was understandably confused and hurt, but Skywarp told the Autobot that he'd more than paid him back recently and he no longer owed the Wreckers anything. Cyclonus laughed, and told the Wreckers of his mental link to Skywarp. But Skywarp muttered, having "always ''hated'' that," and attacked Cyclonus. He reappeared at the Wreckers' side again, noting that he'd only harmed Ramulus to get in Cyclonus's good graces long enough to deal the blow.

{{quote|I'll settle with the zoo crew later. But ''you''.. I ''never'' liked you. Even when you were a [[Bombshell (G1)|''bug'']] I hated your stinkin' circuits. Like I said, only [[Megatron (G1)|''one'' guy]] ever bossed ''me'' around, and it sure as slag ain't ''you.''}}

But Cyclonus had scores of Sharkticons at his disposal, and they quickly filled the chamber. Rodimus wanted to throttle Skywarp for what he'd done to Ramulus, but Skywarp shrewdly pointed out that they had bigger problems at the moment. But in the middle of the battle, a strange surge of energy passed through the subterranean chamber, flowing through Tap-Out and Skywarp, causing both to disappear in a flash of light. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

Skywarp and Tap-Out had been abducted by Unicron and, under undisclosed circumstances, Skywarp joined [[Razorclaw (Universe)|Razorclaw]]'s [[Minion of Unicron (Universe)|Minions of Unicron]] during the [[Universe War|Universe conflict]]. During the final battle within the [[Pit (Universe)|Pit]], he was defeated by [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] and [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]]. {{storylink|Revelations Part 2}}

[[File:WW3 skywarp war flotsam.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|You know the Seekers are in trouble when Skywarp is the brains of the outfit.]]
Skywarp was one of Megatron's "inner circle" in the early days of war on Cybertron, with standing high enough that he was among those who stood at the Decepticon leader's side as he delivered speeches to his burgeoning army. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

Some time into the war, on the eve of the appointment of the Autobots' new [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], Skywarp and [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] were sent to blow up a building full of pesky [[neutral]]s in [[Altihex]]. Skywarp confided to his partner that he had spent some time debating whether or not it was the right thing to do—not because it was morally wrong or anything, but because it was ''too easy''—but had concluded that, hey, of ''course'' it was, and promply murdered the neutrals. {{storylink|The War Within issue 1|The War Within #1}} Some time later, the two came with [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] when he tried to sway [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] into joining the Decepticons. Skywarp tried to stop Starscream from spilling the beans about the Seekers' next mission at [[Protihex|Sector Zero-Six]], but was told to shut up. When the trio later carried out said mission, they found that Grimlock had evacuated the area and placed a bomb to welcome them. Skywarp barely had time to teleport himself and his comrades away before the place went up in flames. {{storylink|The War Within Preview}} When Starscream decided to blame Megatron for what happened, Skywarp snapped and pointed out that it was all ''his'' fault for ''telling the enemy about their mission'', then took off with Thundercracker back to [[Kolkular]]. {{storylink|The War Within issue 3|The War Within #3}}

[[File:DarkAges6 skywarp bludgeon im faster.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|Prankster trumps samurai.]]
Following the disappearance of Megatron in a space bridge accident, the Decepticons split into several splinter groups, but Skywarp stayed with the main faction under the command of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. He participated in an attack on the minions of [[The Fallen]] in [[Protihex]], where his teleporting power enabled him to get the best of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] and gun him down. {{storylink|Conflagration}} Skywarp was also present with the Decepticons at the peace treaty signing at [[Tyger Pax]], which would have put an end to Cybertron's civil war if not for Megatron's dramatic return mid-ceremony. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath}}

Skywarp was part of the original crew of the Decepticon flagship the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' who attacked and boarded the Autobots' Ark when it departed Cybertron on a quest for energy. The craft crashed on Earth, entombing all occupants for four million years, until they awoke in 1984 to continue their war. {{storylink|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye #8}} The war reached its climax in 1999, when the Autobots and their human allies defeated the Decepticons. Skywarp and the other prisoners were loaded aboard the spacecraft ''[[Ark II]]'' with the intent that they be returned to Cybertron, but the vessel had been sabotaged by arms dealer [[Lazarus|Adam "Lazarus" Rook]], and exploded mid-flight. Lazarus recovered the bodies of Skywarp and the other Decepticons, and spent the next several years reprogramming them in order to sell them to foreign powers. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 5|Prime Directive #5}}

[[File:DWG13 seekers new toys.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Skywarp and the Seekers care not for following intended [[Play pattern]] for their new toys.]]
In [[2002]], Megatron was finally able to overcome Lazarus's programming, and proceeded to free his Decepticon subordinates in order to put forward his plans to infect Earth with a metallic virus. To pass the time while preparations for this plan were being put into motion, Skywarp, Starscream and Thundercracker occupied themselves by tearing apart the small Autobots that had also been captured by Lazarus. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 3|Prime Directive #3}} Once the virus had been unleashed, Skywarp participated in Megatron's attack on [[San Francisco]], where he and his fellow Seekers blew [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] into his component Aerialbots with a cluster bomb barrage. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 4|Prime Directive #4}}

''When Megatron was kidnapped by the [[Keeper (species)|Keepers]] and Decepticon leadership was up for grabs, Skywarp began acting more serious and ambitious than his regular "lunatic prankster" persona would suggest. One of the few Decepticons who aggressively refused to follow Starscream in Megatron's absence, Skywarp teamed up with the [[Reflector (G1)|Reflector]] trio in an attempt to seize power for himself. He lured Starscream into leaving his new kingdom in [[Las Vegas]] and travelling to Hoover Dam. Once there, Skywarp challenged Starscream directly for leadership of the Decepticons. He failed miserably, however; Starscream dealt Skywarp severe damage using his [[Null-ray|null bolts]] at close range, then tossed his former wingman over the falls. Skywarp was in [[stasis lock]] for some time thereafter, and he begrudgingly chose to serve under Starscream after his repair cycle aboard the ''Nemesis'' was completed.'' {{storylink|Transformers: Hardwired|Hardwired}}

''When [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and his private army of humans attacked Las Vegas, along with [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], Skywarp was among the Decepticons who charged out to meet them in battle along the Strip. As Thundercracker and Soundwave kept the rampaging [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]'s attention, Skywarp prepared a delicious, underhanded sneak attack. Diving at Grimlock at full speed, Skywarp planned on unleashing his heat-seeking missiles at near point-blank range for maximum devastation. Luckily for Grimlock, the little Autobot Bumblebee was willing to sacrifice his functionality in order to keep the more powerful Autobot warrior in play and took the full impact of the missiles at the last second. Enraged, Grimlock struck Skywarp with enough force to send him flying miles away into the desert and out of the fight for the immediate future.''

''Curiously, Skywarp chose NOT to leave Las Vegas with Megatron once the former Decepticon leader returned to Earth. Damaged after his time with the Keepers, Megatron lost a fight with Starscream and was forced to relinquish his leadership to the Aerospace Commander. Still, Megatron refused to serve under Starscream, and he led a revolt of several Decepticons into exile. For whatever reason, Skywarp remained at Starscream's side until the Keepers attacked, possessing Starscream as a host body and caging the rest of the Decepticons still in Las Vegas inside a dome of impenetrable energy. Skywarp assumed command of the remaining Decepticons in Starscream's absence and directed the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] into not attacking the dome directly as [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], but digging beneath the energy field to forge a tunnel they could exit through. He also made contact with Megatron's forces outside the city and agreed to wait patiently until the time was right for all the Transformers to assault the Keepers as one.''

''When the time came, Skywarp "allowed" his Decepticons to join forces with Megatron's, because it was the only "logical" thing to do. During the fight, he blasted the [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]]-Keeper with an explosive gamma radiation blast. The attack was effective, but proved moot when the Bluestreak-Keeper fused with the Starscream-Keeper, creating one massive and deformed robotic god figure. In the end, it was Optimus Prime and the power of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] which finally ended the war with the Keepers, diverting the force of a nuclear missile launched by the American government. In the aftermath, Starscream's scrap was salvaged and rebuilt, but Megatron chose to make Skywarp his new second-in-command for a time, mostly just to piss Starscream off. Still, Skywarp certainly saw it as the most "logical" thing to do.'' {{storylink|Transformers: Annihilation|Annihilation}}

''In Washington D.C., Megatron and the Decepticons stormed the White House to show their displeasure to the [[President of the United States|President]] for trying to wipe them out with a nuclear strike. Megatron assigned Skywarp to deal with the SWAT teams in the streets, then sent him into the skies to join Starscream in shooting down the air support called in by the military. Final tally—Starscream: 12, Skywarp: 5. Sometime later, Skywarp was present in the Nevada desert when the Autobots and Decepticons confronted the United States military. Thanks to their airborne tactics, Thundercracker and Skywarp did significant injury to the troops and survived the [[deconstructionite]] assault virtually unscathed. After the Keepers were finally defeated and Starscream had been restored to his normal, irascible self, Megatron chose to restore the status quo and replaced Skywarp with Starscream as his second-in-command yet again.'' {{storylink|Transformers: Fusion|Fusion}}

{{note|Although it's hard to see how, the author(s) of ''The Transformers Trilogy'' may have confused Skywarp with Shockwave, or at least combined their roles and personalities into one character. Throughout the ''Trilogy'', Skywarp made repeated references to the "logical" course of action, and once made an oblique reference to his gift over the electromagnetic spectrum. Whether there was actual confusion involved, or if the pick-up writer [[David Cian]] was forcing Skywarp to fit a role once Dreamwave's comics made using Shockwave off-limits, is unknown.}}

When the Decepticons clashed with the Autobots over a crashed Autobot vessel discovered in the Arctic, Skywarp engaged [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], dodging the old Autobot's blasts with his teleporting ability and shooting him in the back. This battle was soon interrupted by the arrival of Shockwave and his army of [[Triple Changer]]s, who had come from Cybertron to bring the planet's errant sons home. He quickly disposed of Megatron and demanded that Skywarp and the others submit to him. {{storylink|New World Order}} The Decepticons somewhat begrudgingly assented to return to Cybertron, but upon arrival Skywarp and Thundercracker were amazed at what Shockwave had accomplished in their absence. While relaxing in an energon bath, they debated how to proceed; Thundercracker believed it would not be long before Shockwave demanded they pledge themselves to his cause, but Skywarp didn't care much, advocating they do what they always did and pick the side with the biggest guns. {{storylink|Brothers' Burden}}

[[File:Revelation skywarp where is he.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Shouldn't he be able to use those air intakes to - oh, nevermind.]]
Their tune soon changed, however, when Shockwave's dark schemes were uncovered by Optimus Prime; the two Seekers ''tried'' to shut the blast door to the command centre before the Autobot leader could make it through, but they failed, and Prime throttled Skywarp until he coughed up Shockwave's location. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}} Skywarp and Thundercracker then both played possum to avoid fighting further. Starscream passed them on his way to the shuttle bay, intending to escape the planet and return to Earth, and he ordered Skywarp and Thundercracker to accompany him. They complied, and helped him load up the inactive Combaticons aboard a shuttle they hijacked. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}

Back on Earth, the Decepticons made it back to the ''Nemesis'' and set about scavenging parts to restore the ship to working order. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}} To this end, Skywarp was part of Starscream's initial salvo against the Autobot base, a decoy to be deliberately taken prisoner in order to draw out the remaining Autobots where the newly reformatted [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] could get at them. {{storylink|Night of the Combaticons}} After decimating the Autobots' ranks, [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] freed the fallen Decepticons, and they were about ready to terminate their opponents when the awe-inspiring clone known as [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]] emerged from fold-space, looking to have words with Starscream. Sunstorm's "purifying light" induced an energon overload in the Decepticons' systems, knocking them into stasis lock. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}} Skywarp and the others remained Autobot prisoners until Starscream negotiated a deal for their release in exchange for his aid against Sunstorm. {{storylink|Skyfire (issue)|Skyfire}}

Skywarp was one of the Transformers reprogrammed to serve the terrorist organization [[Cobra]] and was, along with Thundercracker, rebuilt to transform into a [[Rattler]] aircraft in the process. Their first mission was to show off Cobra's power by assaulting a peace ceremony in [[Washington, D.C.]], and either Skywarp or Thundercracker was the first to reveal his [[robot mode]] to the shocked [[United States Air Force|Air Force]] before wrecking [[Ace]]'s jet with a single punch. {{storylink|G.I.

When [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] undid Cobra's reprogramming of the Transformers, Skywarp waited on the runway in Rattler mode until [[Major Bludd]], unaware of the plane's true identity, decided to use him as his ticket off [[Cobra Island]]. After causing Bludd some stress by refusing to start his engines, Skywarp revealed himself and told him that he'd rather walk, then transformed, crushing the human to death with his moving innards in the process. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 4|G.I.

Skywarp joined several other flying Decepticons in a direct assault against The Beast, to little avail. The Beast then killed him. {{storylink|The Beast Within}}

In a world where [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|some]] [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Decepticons]]' loyalty to the cause has changed in the wake of modern sociopolitical developments, Skywarp had long remained the Decepticons' loyal resident teleporter. However, after being forced into a revelation regarding his loyalties to [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]] and with his teleportation power lost for the moment, he would end up joining the human group known as [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]. After learning that the Joes would not be following through on their promise to restore his teleportation abilities, he betrayed them, recruiting their rogue operatives to help him heal himself. Somehow succeeding, his teleportation powers were quickly called into action when [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] attacked. Though the plan called for Skywarp to teleport the necrotic [[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]] directly into the heart of Unicron, he was wounded saving Thundercracker from the [[Maximal]]s. Carried back to Earth by his former comrade, Skywarp was forced to admit that Thundercracker was a true Seeker and that sonic booms were cool.

Skywarp was one of the Decepticons who woke up on mid-19th century Earth, where he took on the form of a spiky airplane with three propellers. In the Decepticons' desert headquarters, [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] told him about the plans to conquer Earth, and ordered him to fly ahead of the [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]], leading the way towards [[New York City]].

Several Decepticon jets, including Skywarp, staged an attack on a human power plant and met against the Autobots during their raid.

Skyfire broke free of Starscream's control during the attack and joined the Autobots, forcing the remaining Decepticons to retreat. {{storylink|Henkei! Henkei! volume 4|Henkei! Henkei! #4}}

[[File:Alternity skywarp boxart.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Here's a prank: if you ever transform this toy, it breaks instantly! Ha ha ha ha sob.]]
A Skywarp from an unspecified [[universal stream]] was selected by [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Alternity|Megatron]] to become part of his [[Questor]] forces. Granted a portion of the hyperdimensional powers that his leader had obtained from the monstrous [[Hytherion]], Skywarp was given a new body with an uncharacteristic sports car alternate mode, a [[Timaeus drive]] that granted him the ability to travel through dimensions, and a massively enhanced teleportation power that actually allowed him to warp the fabric of space and time around him. About the only thing that didn't change was his characteristic lack of intelligence and initiative; coupled with the brain-bending complexities of higher-dimensional life and battle, this meant that Skywarp was left still relying on Megatron's specific orders for and when to use his powers.

Skywarp proved his worth when he succeeded in his mission to scour the year 2010 all across the dimensions for a trace of the two-dimensional world of the [[Planicron]]s. Precisely what Megatron needed the Planicrons for, Skywarp didn't know, but he recalled a rumor among the Questors that they were key to the destruction of the [[Alternity (species)|Alternity]], and smirked with excitement to himself as he informed Megatron of his discovery. {{storylink|Hunt for the Planicrons}} Using Skywarp's information and a [[magic]]al tablet his other agents had obtained for him, Megatron took control of the Planicrons from his base on [[Menonia]] and used them to attack the Alternity. Skywarp was at his side during these events, and was first to notice when Thundercracker, under cover of a distraction provided when Starscream made another fruitless grab for power, deactivated the tablet and freed the Planicrons. {{storylink|Alternation}}

On Cybertron, Skywarp was an [[Cybertronian military insignia|Air Force Black Ops Sergeant]], whose function was a [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]], and the highest-ranking member of the [[Phantomstrike Squadron|Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron]]. After countless attacks had been made on several of the [[Autobot]] resistance's positions by the Skywarp and the rest of the Phantomstrike Squadron, the [[Firestormer|Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce]] was called into action. {{storylink|War for Cybertron: Siege#Exclusives|Final Strike Figure Series marketing material}}<ref name=Amazon>[https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Generations-Cybertron-Decepticon-Phantomstrike/dp/B07NZ86GJP Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron on Amazon]</ref> Dispatched to the outer edge of the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]], inside an [[Underground Safe Zone|underground base]], {{storylink|Source:Teletraan-1 Data Files|''Siege'' Teletraan-1 Data Files}} Alphastrike analyzed the Phantomstrike Squadron's attack patterns, anticipating their next strike. {{storylink|War for Cybertron: Siege#Exclusives|Final Strike Figure Series marketing material}}<ref name=Amazon/>

Skywarp served as one of Megatron's Seekers. On a particular patrol, he failed to detect the Autobot Wheeljack and the energon scavenger Bumblebee, both in hiding. However, Skywarp was later part of the team who caught the pair, under the command of Jetfire. A heated debate over how to proceed led to a scuffle between Starscream and Jetfire, with Skywarp taking Starscream's side in attacking Jetfire. However, this brief duel was cut short when Megatron arrived. At their leader's command, Skywarp and the others prepared to execute Wheeljack and Bumblebee; however, the arrival of Optimus Prime and an attack by [[Elita One (G1)|Elita-1]] prevented this. Skywarp was sent in pursuit of the fleeing Autobots, but they escaped. {{storylink|Siege episode 1}}

Skywarp stood at Megatron's side when the [[Decepticon leader]] spoke to the masses and passed along the news that a visitor, soon revealed as [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] had arrived.

After Megatron had announced a plan to use the Allspark to reformat the Autobots into Decepticons, Skywarp was part of the crowd that listened to Starscream's speech condemning this course of action before Megatron and Jetfire arrived, breaking up the rally and sending the Seekers back on patrol. Patrolling alongside Jetfire, Skywarp detected the comm signal of the believed to be deceased [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]]. Arriving at the coordinates, the two found Impactor's discarded communicator and Autobot Command. Though Skywarp was eager to report this and call in reinforcements with which to slaughter the rebels, Jetfire felt that annihilation should not be the price of peace and that the Autobots should be given the chance to surrender. Scoffing that Starscream had been right about their commander, Skywarp began his report only for Jetfire to shoot him in the back.
[[File:WFC-Siege-Ep3-Skywarp-shot-by-Jetfire.jpg|thumb|300px]]

Though critically wounded, Skywarp managed to revert to jet mode, cursing Jetfire as a traitor. Managing to limp back to Decepticon territory, crash landing near Starscream, Skywarp passed on the news of Jetfire's betrayal but perished before he could reveal the location of Autobot Command. {{storylink|Siege episode 3}} Starscream later outed Jetfire as a traitor to Megatron after his execution of Ultra Magnus, citing how Jetfire had murdered Skywarp. {{storylink|Siege episode 4}} Jetfire later stated his altercation with Skywarp to the Autobots, though Prowl doubted Jetfire's goodwill intentions. {{storylink|Siege episode 5}}

[[File:TestFlightII-unspace.jpg|thumb|left|250px|In unspace, no one can hear you warp.]]

Skywarp was born a prodigy, one of two known Cybertronians with a natural teleportation ability. {{storylink|Nautica: Home}} During the [[War of the Threefold Spark]], the self-styled "Lord of Misrule" willingly joined [[Exarchon]]. Exarchon and [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] tried to clone him in the hopes that an army of teleporting warriors would give them total control over Cybertron; although the ensuing legion of [[Skywarp drone]]s lacked their progenitor's teleportation powers, they remained formidable fighters, and the original Skywarp developed a predilection for leading his army from the front. After one particular battle at [[Yuss]], Skywarp saved Exarchon from an attack by [[Strika (BM)|Strika]]'s [[Strika's Heavies|Heavies]]. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Three}}

When the tides of war began to turn against Exarchon, Skywarp deserted his master; after the end of the war, he was one of the many collaborators whom [[Nominus Prime]] banished from Cybertron in the interest of preventing any further violence. Eventually, Skywarp grew tired of exile, but when he tried to jump home to Cybertron he somehow wound up stranded in [[unspace]] for many megacycles. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I|Sea of Rust I}} After seeing [[Jumpstream]] blast past him {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight I|Test Flight I}} twice as a result of her own teleportation powers being overcharged, Skywarp piggybacked on her teleport trail and materialized back on Cybertron, boldly announcing that he'd returned. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight II|Test Flight II}}

After robbing [[Windsweeper]] for an [[energon cube]] at an [[energon transmission station]] just outiside of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], Skywarp teleported around Cybertron and discovered that the planet again teetered on the brink of planetary civil war. Quickly realizing that the newly founded [[Decepticon]]s appeared to be the winning side, Skywarp accosted [[Offroad (CW)|Offroad]] at a security checkpoint and asked to speak to the [[Decepticon leader]]. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Swindle's II|Swindle's II}}

[[File:Enigmatic JumpstreamSkywarpEnigma.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.7]]
Meeting Megatron, Skywarp impishly offered his service before Soundwave announced that the Decepticons were working with Shockwave. Eager to cause chaos, Skywarp teleported away to reunite with his former colleague. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I|Sea of Rust I}} Upon locating Shockwave in the wilderness, however, the Decepticon scientist had no interest in another collaboration with his old partner. When Shockwave mentioned the [[Enigma of Combination]], Skywarp promptly teleported away. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust II|Sea of Rust II}} He discovered the battle site, and teleported inside Termagax's [[House (building)|House]] to retrieve the Enigma. Skywarp avoided Optimus Prime and his fellow teleporter Jumpstream to keep ahold of his new toy. His bragging left him distracted, though, as [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] snared him from behind, crushing Skywarp between his massive jaws, and delivering a blast of flame breath for good measure. Gravely wounded, Skywarp barely managed to teleport away, {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Enigmatic|Enigmatic}} subsequently being tended to by Shockwave. {{storylink|Darkness, Once Gazed Upon: Part Three}}

After being sufficiently repaired, Skywarp was informed by Shockwave that Exarchon still lived and their former master addressed them wearing [[Flatline (G1)|Flatline]]'s body. Once the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] and [[Soundblaster (G1)|Soundblaster]] had been called in, Exarchon outlined his plans for resumed conquest. Unwilling to throw his lot in with the Threefold Spark once again, Skywarp promptly teleported away before anyone could stop him. {{storylink|War's End Part One}} Materializing in [[Decepticon Headquarters (G1 Cybertron)|Decepticon Headquarters]], Skywarp informed Starscream and Soundwave of Exarchon's return which they then passed along to Megatron. {{storylink|War's End Part Two}} Megatron later went to confront Exarchon, bringing Skywarp and the Rainmakers as his bodyguards. After the Threefold Spark's body had been melted by [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]], Megatron sent Skywarp to the [[Sonic Canyons]] to discover its secrets and bring them to the Decepticons. {{storylink|War's End Part Three}}

[[File:FateOfCybertron JumpstreamSkywarpImploder.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Making for the Sonic Canyons, Skywarp initially materialized in the middle of a battle before he teleported into the fortress. Finding it empty, Skywarp helped himself to Exarchon's [[imploder]], teleporting out with it just as [[Pointblank]]'s team of Autobots returned to the surface. {{storylink|War's End Part Four}} Setting the timer for one second, {{storylink|Transformers: Fate of Cybertron|Fate of Cybertron}} Skywarp teleported in front of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s convoy and used the threat of the imploder to hold them in place until the rest of the Decepticons arrived. {{storylink|End of Time}}

Upon arrival, Megatron demanded Optimus surrender the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to him, bringing the two leaders to blows, Skywarp waving his imploder in the face of any Autobots who tried to interfere. When [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] arrived, Skywarp lowered his guard, allowing Jumpstream to tackle him and teleport both away. Rematerializing in unspace, Skywarp found himself atomically intermingled with the imploder and his energon vented. As Jumpstream left for the universe, she warned him that if he somehow managed to return to normal space, the imploder would detonate.

The first Transformer to be reactivated when the ''Ark'' rebooted, Skywarp reactivated his master and the remainder of the Decepticon army. Let loose on an unsuspecting world, the Decepticons launched a brutal war against humanity's [[Skywatch]], devastating the Earth. After the humans had been defeated, their AI, [[Skynet]] continued to fight on. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Two}} In [[2029]], Skywarp was part of the final attack on Skynet's [[Omega Base|last stronghold]], destroying its [[fandom:terminator:HK-Tank|HK-Tanks]] before he was tackled by a [[T-8000]] whose head he promptly blew off. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part One}}

To avert the Decepticon threat, a lone [[T-800]] travelled back to 1984 to try and destroy them before they conquered the world. In this new timeline, Skywarp harassed the T-800 with his cannons when it made itself known before it struck him with a discarded Cybertronian weapon. After the Decepticons had fallen back to scout the alien world, they launched an attack on [[Cyberdyne Systems]] for its energy production capabilities. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Two}}

[[File:EnemyOfMyEnemyPart3-Skywarp.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]

After thoroughly conquering the facility, Skywarp was dispatched to do a perimeter sweep for any resistance. Though initially finding nothing, he soon spied [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] spying on them, teleporting directly behind the Autobot only for his dramatic entrance to alert the scout enough that he managed to revert to vehicle mode. Using himself as bait, Bumblebee tried to have Skywarp crash into Megatron only for the Seeker to teleport back before he could collide with his leader. Before he could resume fire on Bumblebee, he was shot down by the other Autobots. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Three}}

Skywarp had recovered in time to join his fellows in cornering Bumblebee, [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] and [[Velocity (G1)|Velocity]] before Starscream betrayed the Decepticons by shooting Soundwave in the back, a distraction Arcee took advantage of to knock Skywarp into Thundercracker and take both out of the fight. When Megatron was felled, Skywarp was taken into custody by the Autobots only for the Cybertronians to find that the T-800 had remotely detonated [[Mount St. Hilary]] and destroyed the ''Ark''. Though Skywarp indulged in some gallows humour, he ultimately agreed to Optimus Prime's proposal of a truce. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Four}}

Though initially sent to do rounds, Skywarp was called back into battle by Starscream when [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] arrived. After Thundercracker had been shot down, Arcee forced Skywarp and Starscream into each other's airspace allowing [[Rarity]] to use her [[magic]] to tangle them with Starscream's would-be conquering cape. With both jets caught in the fabric, Skywarp simply teleported away, leaving Starscream to make an out of control crash. {{storylink|Shine Like a Diamond}}

After returning to Cybertron, Skywarp was present when the Decepticons' attempt to obtain Equestrian magic led to the revival of [[King Sombra]]. {{storylink|The Magic of Cybertron}} He, Starscream and Thundercracker formed an alliance with [[Rainbow Dash]] and the [[Wonderbolt]]s, during which they were attacked by Sombra's forces. Along with Thundercracker, he disagreed with the idea of destroying the attackers, highlighting they would need their fellow Decepticons freed to retake Cybertron. To his indignation, Rainbow and [[Spitfire (MLP)|Spitfire]] used his wings as a shield from the attacks as Rainbow explained her plan. As the Wonderbolts distracted the possessed bots, the Seekers incapacitated them with net bombs. When Thundercracker suggested finishing off the captured Autobots, Skywarp noted they would need expendable soldiers in the coming battle before the two, much to Starscream's disbelief, joined the Wonderbolts in cheering Rainbow Dash for her plan. {{storylink|Stunt Flying}}

Reconstructed by Teletraan One as [[Starscream (G1)#Energon Universe|Starscream]] fought [[Optimus Prime (G1)#Energon Universe|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ratchet (G1)#Energon Universe|Ratchet]], he began dragging [[Soundwave (G1)#Energon Universe|other Decepticons]] closer to the supercomputer so it would reconstruct them before any Autobots, leaving the other side outnumbered. This plan was disrupted when Optimus Prime chose to cut his losses, shoot Teletraan One, and escape with Ratchet, the bodies of his fellow Autobots, and two humans who had stumbled into the conflict. Starscream and Skywarp gave chase, the pair landing a fatal blow on [[Jetfire (G1)#Energon Universe|Jetfire]] when he tried to interfere with their hunt, but they were forced to return to base when Skywarp's energon reserves ran dangerously low.

However, when [[Laserbeak (G1)#Energon Universe|Laserbeak]] sent a priority message to Soundwave about an Autobot, Starscream ordered Skywarp to deal with it. "It" turned out to be [[Cliffjumper (G1)#Energon Universe|Cliffjumper]] under fire from some humans at a downtown bar. Skywarp touched down and punched Cliffjumper before harassing the humans whose bullets he shrugged off. As the humans scrambled to get more firepower, Skywarp prepared to finish off Cliffjumper. He stopped briefly to laugh as [[Carly]] attempted to protect the Autobot.

[[File:TF2023 – Skywarp takes a sip.jpg|thumb|left|You think he's a Coke guy or a Pepsi guy?]]
He was prevented from killing the two by the arrival of Optimus Prime. Skywarp exchanged fire with the Autobot leader before using his teleportation abilities to catch Prime off-guard. He wasn't caught off-guard for long, quickly bashing Skywarp into the ground and preparing to finish him off. Luckily for Skywarp, the humans found their better firepower: a rocket launcher they fired straight into Optimus' arm. Skywarp quickly took advantage by firing straight into the wound, gloating about how the humans, like Optimus, weren't just weak but also stupid. This development caused [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#Energon Universe|one of the humans]] to rush in and be struck by a stray bullet. ''This'' development spurred Optimus into a rage, leading Prime to tear off his damaged arm and beat Skywarp senseless with it. {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 3|Transformers #3}}

[[File:Skywarp gets Jazzed.jpeg|thumb|right|No! I want TWO!]]
Skywarp was found by Starscream in desperate need of repairs. After begging Starscream to help him, Starscream simply asked where Optimus headed. Skywarp told him and he flew off, leaving Skywarp. Skywarp was next seen aboard the Ark while Starscream and Soundwave discussed repairs. When Soundwave acknowledged that they needed cybertronian technology to repair themselves, they tore Skywarp apart to use his parts. Poor guy.

==Commercial appearances==
Skywarp appeared in numerous television commercials. Those with original footage of Skywarp include:

[[File:1986 Comm Skywarp and Cyclonus.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
*Soon after the Transformers awakening on Earth, Skywarp joined Starscream and Thundercracker in approaching a human power plant from the air. Jazz, Sideswipe, and Prowl rolled out to oppose them, and the three jets transformed to robot mode and joined their comrades on the ground to fight back. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#The Transformers #1|''The Transformers'' #1 commercial}}
*Skywarp and his fellow Seekers had a rematch with Jazz, Sideswipe, and Prowl when they strafed them on a desert road, then transformed to grapple with them in [[robot mode]]. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Decepticon jets & Autobot cars|Decepticon jets & Autobot cars commercial}}
*Skywarp and Starscream had Optimus Prime pinned down in a firefight in a rocky landscape until new Autobots Hot Rod, Kup, and Blurr joined the fight. Skywarp was bowled over by Blurr's speed, but Decepticon reinforcements soon arrived in the form of Cyclonus and Scourge. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Hot Rod, Kup, Blurr, Cyclonus, Scourge, Rodimus Prime|Hot Rod, Kup, Blurr, Cyclonus, Scourge, and Rodimus Prime commercial}}
*When the Seekers attacked the Autobots' launch site, Skywarp had the ignominious distinction of being dramatically blasted out of the air in one shot by Ultra Magnus. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Ultra Magnus|Ultra Magnus commercial}}
*Skywarp flew into battle alongside Galvatron, and was harried by laser fire from Tracks and Jazz. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Ultra Magnus and Galvatron|Ultra Magnus and Galvatron commercial}}
*Few Decepticons could stand up to the Dinobots, as was proven when the prehistoric Autobots trampled Skywarp, Thundercracker, and Starscream. Skywarp couldn't hold back a charge from an angry [[Slag (G1)|Slag]]. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Predacons|Predacons commercial}}

He has also appeared in some online promotional videos:
*After Megatron learned about [[BotCon 2009]] from Optimus Prime, he led a small group of Decepticon representatives to the convention, including Skywarp. {{storylink|BotCon 2009!}}

==Games==
===Adventure Game: Defeat the Decepticons===
When Optimus embarked on his mission to rescue the Autobots' [[Mini Vehicle|Minicar]] troops from the Decepticons, Skywarp could interfere with Optimus Prime's progress, by teleporting him back to the beginning of the Decepticons' maze-like base. {{storylink|Adventure Game: Defeat the Decepticons|Adventure Game: Defeat the Decepticons packaging blurb and game}}

{{note|Skywarp's supposed appearance in this game is from a [[Transformers: Mystery of Convoy (promo video)|''Mystery of Convoy'' promo video]], calling him one of the "[[Seeker (body-type)|Jetron]]" foes. These enemies being copies of Skywarp is... dubious, especially given the poor visual resemblance.}}

===''The Transformers'' (Commodore 64)===
[[File:TFC64 skywarp chases bumblebee.jpg|left|thumb]]
Skywarp was among the Decepticons who tried to prevent the Autobots from recovering the scattered pieces of their [[Energon cube]]s. Created by the power of [[Robo-Cloning]], innumerable duplicates of Skywarp bedevilled the Autobots on their quest. {{storylink|The Transformers (Commodore 64)|The Transformers}}

===''Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals'' (N64)===
In one of several possible timelines, the time-traveling [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] Ravage broke into the ''Ark'' while its occupants were still in stasis and downloaded protoform cloning data from Skywarp, among several others. He then returned to his future, planning to revive the Decepticons in new clone bodies and begin their conquest anew. {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals (N64)}}

===''Transformers G1: Awakening''===
[[File:Gluawakening skywarp.jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.85|Virtua Fighter Jet.]]
Skywarp was among the Decepticons who pursued and boarded the Autobot [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. When the ship crashed on [[Earth]], all inside were sent into stasis, but the Decepticons woke up four million years later and resumed their conquering ways. Picking up [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], whom they tricked into becoming a Decepticon, Skywarp took part in an attack on [[Dyson Dam]]. He and the other [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] picked a fight with [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and were soundly trounced by the Dinobot. He also took part in a disastrous assault on the Ark, which ended with the Decepticons in retreat. {{storylink|Transformers G1: Awakening}}
{{-}}

===''Bot Shots Battle Game!''===
Skywarp participated in numerous one-on-one matches against other Autobots and Decepticons, using his fists, his sword, or his gun to defeat his opponents. Sometimes, he even faced off against himself! {{storylink|Bot Shots Battle Game!}}

===''Transformers Legends''===
[[File:TFLegends skywarp.jpg|thumb|325px|Stair Pushing: 9999]]
Skywarp rescued Megatron from the planet [[Junkion (planet)|Junk]] after the Decepticon leader became stranded there. {{storylink|Wreckage (Legends)|Wreckage}} Skywarp was among the Seekers who went on a worldwide rampage, until they were thwarted by the Autobots. {{storylink|Robots in the Sky}} During a major battle at [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], Skywarp used his teleportation power to confuse the Dinobots, but when he called them dumb, he was downed by an enraged [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. {{storylink|S.O.S. Dinobots (Legends)|S.O.S. Dinobots}}

Skywarp was amongst the Decepticons who coated themselves with [[Electrum]] after Thrust had discovered a lagoon full of the stuff. Invulnerable to Autobot firepower thanks to the substance's properties, the Decepticons were able to defeat Omega Supreme. They found themselves at a disadvantage when the Autobots also gained access to the Electrum, and the Decepticon's own invulnerability wore off first. {{storylink|The Golden Lagoon (Legends)|The Golden Lagoon}} Skywarp and Thrust encountered [[Autobot X (G1)|Autobot X]], a patchwork beast with the mind of [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]], and managed to convince him that the Autobots were his enemy. The alliance lasted until Spike's father was injured in battle, at which point Spike turned on the Decepticons and drove them off. {{storylink|Autobot X (Legends)|Autobot X}}

Skywarp was among the Transformers who attempted to make contact with the [[Quintessa (IDW)|Necrotitan]], and subsequently had to battle it. {{storylink|Dark Cybertron (Legends)|Dark Cybertron}}

Skywarp had a few dogfights with the Autobots' acid bomber, [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Transformers: Earth Wars|Skydive]]. He joined Starscream and Thundercracker during the battle for the [[Codex Key]].

At one point, Skywarp commented on how Nemesis Prime looked like a black Optimus Prime out of the wash.

Skywarp was a mischievous but dim-witted Seeker whose spark had naturally evolved the ability to teleport. {{storylink|Transformers Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook|Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook}} Shortly after awakening on Earth, he and the other Seekers attacked [[Hoover Dam]] in an attempt to generate more [[energon]] for themselves. However, a team of Autobots were able to keep the Decepticons at bay long enough for the human engineers to open the release valves, which prevented the dam from collapsing and forced the Decepticons to retreat with less energon than they’d hoped. {{storylink|Troubled Waters}}

==Notes==
[[File:DecepticonPatrolJetheads.jpg|thumb|Cry [http://www.audioshocker.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/1-uncanny-58a-neal-adams.jpg Havok] and let slip the dogs of ''warp''...]]
*Skywarp's one-line characterization in the original Transformers [[production bible]] was "sneaky but dumb". Hee hee. [http://tfarchive.com/cartoons/bible/#034] In a more peculiar note, his longer write-up in the production bible noted that he was colored olive drab. [http://tfarchive.com/cartoons/bible/#038] This error isn't as unusual as one might first think, as Skywarp was the only first-year jet whose colors didn't originate in ''[[Diaclone]]''—thus, they simply may not have been decided upon when the production bible was written.
*A handful of [[Marvel Books]] coloring books (among them ''[[Decepticon Patrol]]'') depict Skywarp and [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] with original head designs. It's possible these were developed so kids could tell the characters apart in black and white, but the numerous [[character model]] oddities in these books make any kind of certain judgment difficult.
*Stories written by [[Simon Furman]] (including ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'', ''[[The Transformers: Regeneration One|Regeneration One]]'', and his contributions to [[2005 IDW continuity]]) usually depict Skywarp's teleportation as the opening of a distinct portal in space through which he and others can then travel. Other creators opt—following the lead of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]]—to present the power as Nightcrawler-like self-teleportation, with Skywarp disappearing in a flash of light.
*Character bios written by unknown persons for the Australian (Madman) DVD release of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' definitely claim that [[Cyclonus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Who is Cyclonus?|Skywarp became Cyclonus]]. Basically, nobody considers that weighty "evidence".

== GO to top feature ==
I've noticed that the "GO to top!" feature that's been added, while cool, is a bit buggy. especially on mobile where it just doesn't even show up when you're at the bottom of the page and on computer is shows up at the top of the page and then disappears after you scroll a bit before coming back when you've hit the bottom of a page. I was just wondering if this was still being worked on? [[User:Carno|Carno]] ([[User talk:Carno|talk]]) 12:03, 6 November 2023 (EST)

== Go-Bots ==

Considering this wiki long ago decided to leave any non-TF-related Go Bots material to other wikis is there a reason the Go Bots comic is listed in the current release section? [[User:Indridcold13|Indridcold13]] ([[User talk:Indridcold13|talk]]) 23:44, 7 January 2019 (EST)

::I think he's asking why the comic series is included on here at all when it's not a Transformers comic nor tied to any Transformers media. Like, why not have GBWiki do that instead?

== Adding icons for the IDW Hasbro and GoBots wikis ==

There was some discussion on the Allspark thread a couple of weeks ago about adding icons for the two sister wiki to the Main Page alongside our Twitter and Tumblr links (and also remove the Blogspot link) with a couple of mockups made to show what it would look like. You can find the two examples in the couple of posts starting [https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/101932-tfwikinet-thread-30/page-635#entry3881624 here].

== Fall of Cybertron toyline ==

I find it odd that Fall of Cybertron is the only franchise in the Series Information featurebox to not have a link to its own toyline. Even the original War for Cybertron has a redirect pointing to its five toys released on the Generations line. So wouldn't it make sense to also include a redirect for the FOC section of the Generations line under the FOC franchise here?

:It wouldn't get its own article, though it's not absolutely clear where in our [[Optimus Prime (G1)/suite]] it would go. It blurs the line between toy and merchandise, and if it's a toy at all it would probably go on the "old" toy page simply because it isn't Generations.

'''[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]''' is the star of a [[Live-action film series|multibillion-dollar film franchise]], and as such has an ungodly amount of toys and memorabilia!

Seriously, he's probably got more than [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] by now.

He is one of two characters (the other being [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]]) to have at least one toy in every size class (with the exception of commander class and titan class).

{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Legends Bumblebee transforms into a yellow 1976 Chevrolet Camaro. Being a highly simplified toy of a highly complex design, Legends-class Bumblebee does not replicate the appearance of the [[robot mode]] very well and has very limited articulation, detail and paint applications. Due to his simplified transformation, his hands are exposed on the vehicle bumper, and due to how the arms are molded, the headlights make the robot mode appear to be wielding a pair of guns. On the other hand, he's pocket-sized and inexpensive, perfect for the younger set. The toy has a sculpted rear window, but it's not painted like the other windows. instead, the racing stripes extend over it.

:The toy was also released in two different ways in Japan: the Hasbro version was initially released as a giveaway for the customers who purchased the Movie toys worth 3000 yen in the Transformers First Impact 0602 event held in Ikebukuro Toys"R"Us store at midnight [[June 2]]nd, with the package completely unchanged with the exception of the sticker covering the back to identify that this was a giveaway. The toy was also later released as part of the blind-packed EZ Collection lineup, distributed via TakaraTomy's subsidiary Subarudo.

:He was later redecoed into [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Legends Class toys|Cliffjumper]].

**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''MA-03'''

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Alex Kubalsky]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Part of the second wave of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|''Transformers'']] Deluxe Class figures, the first Deluxe Class version of Bumblebee transforms into a yellow {{w|Second-generation Chevrolet Camaro|1976 Chevrolet Camaro}} with a quite reasonable level of sculpted detail. In contrast to the other Deluxe-class car Transformers in the toyline, he does not have clear windows, instead opting for opaque yellow plastic with painted metallic blue.

:Bumblebee is armed with two shoulder-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers (inspired by the shoulder-mounted missile launchers he uses to fight Brawl/Devastator in the movie), which also double as hand-held weapons or can be mounted on ports on the undersides of his elbows. His legs and chest [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] during transformation.

:The initial release of the toy featured even tabs for the Automorph gimmick; oddly, Hasbro later decided to [[retool]] the feature so the tab would be uneven.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29613 Original Allspark thread about the retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref> This resulted in many reported cases of the tab snapping during transformation. Press the button or you'll break him and you'll be transforming his front car hood manually. The retooled Automorph gimmick would be used for all subsequent versions of the mold, including a small number of Japanese releases, and the breakage problem wouldn't be fixed until the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack and the Target exclusive "Evolution of a Hero" two-pack.

:One of the more unfortunate results of the car hood's automorph feature, leaves the front of the car form not staying together properly over time. While it may not happen to every release of the figure, it's definitely something to keep an eye out for.

:Packaging photos and early [[Prototype|test shots]] of Hasbro's Bumblebee featured transparent blue plastic windows and missile parts. However, the final Hasbro production toy has opaque yellow plastic with metallic blue paint. The [[TakaraTomy]] release of Bumblebee retains the transparent blue plastic parts, with yellow paint for the outer car shell. As a consequence, the missiles, which are on the same sprue, are also made of clear blue plastic, just like the early prototype seen in the Hasbro stock photos for the toy. He also uses the retooled version of the mold with the fixed Automorph gimmick. The original Hasbro mold (complete with opaque windows) also saw release in Japan 10 years later, as part of an Amazon Japan exclusive 3-pack (see below).

:The packaging used for the Japanese release is the same as for the Hasbro version, with the exception of additional stickers identifying it as a Japanese market release.

:This battle pack contains the 1976 Camaro Deluxe Class Bumblebee and the Deluxe Class [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys|Barricade]]/[[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] figures, based upon their confrontation as seen in the movie. The box features a diorama-style background from a movie scene, but the toys themselves are unchanged from their original carded releases.

:The set originally retailed for only slightly less than buying the two individual toys. However, for a short while, it was about the only way to ''get'' Bumblebee in the first place, thanks to the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|toy drought]] following the movie's record-smashing opening.

As is generally the case with the European releases of the Movie toys, the pictures on the front of the box show the robot mode toys instead of an artist's depiction of their faces.

**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[August 9]], 2007
**''Accessories:'' [[Plasma cannon]]
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Alex Kubalsky]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Released in the fourth wave of Deluxes, the second Deluxe Class Bumblebee toy shares no parts with the previous version and transforms into the {{w|Fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro|concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro}}. Maintaining the high standard for car accuracy in the movie line, Bumblebee is very faithful to the real-life vehicle, featuring clear blue windows in contrast to the opaque windows seen in both his previous Deluxe class toy and the Ultimate Bumblebee toy.

:Bumblebee features two [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmicks during transformation: ''(a)'' swinging his hood down into robot mode position also moves his arms up and ''(b)'', swinging his feet down will move the rear fenders up and behind his calves, as well as swinging the rear windows to his inner calves in a spring-loaded action. Unusually, this version of Bumblebee is much more accurate to the CGI design than either the older-model Deluxe OR the Ultimate figure, with the chest properly articulating in a fairly Movie-accurate manner. He's also slightly taller than most of the other Deluxe Class figures.

:Bumblebee features a superb range of articulation, with ball joints in his shoulders, neck, torso, wrists and upper legs, with ratcheting and swivels making up the remaining joints. Instead of the rather inaccurate missile launchers from the 1976 Camaro toy, '09 Bumblebee comes with a mostly accurate version of his plasma cannon as it appears in the movie, but for added play value, it can Automorph into an energy blade by opening up the halves of the gun barrel and swinging them back. The cannon can be held in either of his hands. Depending on how tight the shoulder ball joints are, posing his arms can be troublesome as they're jointed with the front wheel/car doors/wings. If the converting Plasma Cannon is removed from his vehicle form, the spring-loaded windows may become slightly dislodged unless you press both sides of the vehicle rear to counter this.

:Depending on the individual quality control, his pair of yellow shoulder panels tend to pop off occasionally. Care should be taken while transforming the front clear window piece: At least one of the protruding panels can snap off if not done carefully.

:Contrary to popular opinion, the yellow pieces on the back of Bumblebee's feet are ''not'' supposed to be heel spurs, nor have they been mis-assembled. They are supposed to fold up to emulate the detail found on the CGI design. His robot mode stock photo is mistransformed; the chest hood blocks can be flipped up for better accuracy. This mistransformation is common to all of his redecoes/retools below.

:A running change version of this sculpt adds sculpted pupils to Bumblebee's eyes. A ''second'' running change adds tabs to the hip panels, which makes the [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] hold together better.<ref name="conceptvariant">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=144325 TFW2005 thread about the retool for the second Deluxe Bumblebee toy]</ref> Initially this was believed to be a variant for the Japanese market; however, later shipments of the Hasbro toy featured those changes as well, as did all subsequent versions of the sculpt.

:This sculpt was also used to make "Allspark Power" [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Deluxe Class toys|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Evolution of a Hero''' (Target exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles, left and right spring-loaded missile launchers, Plasma cannon

:A Target exclusive, this figure multi-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe-class 1976 Bumblebee and an exclusive "battle damaged" 2009 Camaro Concept Bumblebee. Even though the 2009 figure is supposed to represent Bumblebee's damaged state as he appeared during the final battle in the movie, oddly enough the "damage" paint decos do not appear to extend to his legs, restricting themselves to his upper torso and car roof/door parts. Maybe they didn't bother because they thought you'd take them off like in the movie. Go figure.

:The Classic Camaro Bumblebee toy included in this package features the same "fixed" Automorph gimmick also found on the version included in the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack. In addition, the Automorph button on the hood ''finally'' sports the painted pinstripes that had been missing on ''all'' previous releases of the sculpt.

:This two-pack was available as a Target exclusive in the USA, as a Zellers exclusive in Canada (in English-only packaging), as a Tesco exclusive in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and as an exclusive to stores that were members of either the Idee + Spiel or Vedes trade associations (which were cooperating at the time) in Germany.

:A Walmart [[exclusive]] three pack, ''The Legacy of Bumblebee'' collector's set comes with [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|''Classics'']], Movie Deluxe Concept Camaro ([[Premium Series]]) and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] figures. While the ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' Bumblebees are identical to their original, single carded releases, the ''Classics'' Bumblebee has been redecoed to more closely resemble his ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' counterparts, changing his white stripes to black, and his grey/silver plastic to yellow, similarly to ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Bumble.

*'''Capture of Bumblebee''' (Screen Battles diorama pack, 2007)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''SB-04'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

:A more [[show-accuracy|screen-accurate]] [[redeco]] of Camaro Concept Deluxe Class Bumblebee, with all of the black plastic and paint operations (sans the racing stripes and the grille mesh) changed to gray. In addition, the translucent parts are now an ever-so-slightly greener shade of blue. The only other change is the addition of a new [[tampograph]]ed red Autobot symbol on his forehead. Unfortunately, his racing stripes aren't added with black border pinstripes.

:This ''Screen Battles'' pack (or "Battle Scenes" in Europe) also includes non-[[articulation|poseable]] [[Slug figure|figurines]] of [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]] and two Sector Seven soldiers; one carrying a cryo-freezing cannon and one carrying a grenade launcher.

:This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the scene in which Bumblebee is captured by Sector Seven forces.

:According to details listed in an official checklist on Hasbro's website,<ref name="checklist">[http://web.archive.org/web/20080920112933/http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=Collectors/Checklist Hasbro checklist] featuring Screen Battles sets with additional extras</ref> this pack was originally supposed to feature "ice soldiers" (plural), in addition to an "S7 agent" and an "S7 soldier". Apparently, the budget ultimately only allowed for one. The grenade launcher-wielding S7 soldier also looks conspicuously like [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] colored as a Sector Seven soldier (it's possible that the figure had originally been intended for the Screen Battles "Desert Attack" pack with [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], which was supposed to contain ''four'' soldier figures according to the same Hasbro checklist<ref name="checklist"/>).

*'''Final Stand''' (Screen Battles, 2007)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''SB-02'''

:This ''Screen Battles'' pack (or "Battle Scenes" in Europe) comes with an altered [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] toy and a posable, non-transforming, battle-damaged Bumblebee. Despite being in the same scale, this figurine utilizes none of the parts of the ''Robot Replicas'' toy. This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the battle in Mission City.

:The Bumblebee figure oddly does not feature the character's distinctive car door "wings" on his back. However, keen [[customizing|customizers]] can easily rectify this by slicing the "Robot Replicas" version's wings off and whittling their connecting plastic into simple posts that very handily plug into large holes in the tires on Final Stand 'Bee's back. In fact, these holes almost seem designed to accommodate a missing part. (Considering how all the other Screen Battles sets were apparently originally intended to feature more, or at least more elaborate, accessory figures based on their entries in an official checklist on Hasbro's website,<ref name="checklist"/> this seems indeed very plausible.)

*'''Ultimate Bumblebee''' (Ultimate Class, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:The first Ultimate Class toy, this version of Bumblebee is similar in size to Supreme Class figures and transforms into a large 2009 concept Camaro. The toy features [[motorized movement|animatronic movement]] in robot mode (flapping wings, moving arms and a rotating head) and light-up eyes and headlights, activated by the movement or sounds made by the person playing with the toy, or by pressing his buttons, which also activate an obscene number of interactive electronic sound effects. Oddly enough, despite being mute for most of the movie, Bumblebee has a wide range of phrases. His chest button yields various phrases and a new version of the ''Transformers'' theme tune, while a button on his side produces blaster noises, more speech, and musical samples, including four different ones from Devo's "Whip It." This button also causes the toy to raise its cannon-arm and automatically fire a missile. Playing with the toy by moving it will make him repeat various phrases and samples activated by other features, as well as crashing battle noises, but when he is left idle, more unique phrases will be uttered inquiring where everyone has gone, as well as radio snippets to the same effect, before the toy eventually deactivates. Pressing any button will bring him back online with a cheerful shout.

:Transforming the toy between modes is accompanied by the classic transformation noise, and if left unattended between modes, it will make stalling engine noises, car horn and a car alarm sounds. Once in car mode, new electronics are unlocked, beginning with the sound of an engine starting up. The chest button now activates the car's horn, and rolling the figure along will create an accelerating noise that increases the faster the toy is moved. More unique musical snippets will play as the car rolls along; when the rolling stops, brake lights activate and the tires screech. Yet more sounds are produced when Bumblebee is rolled backwards, and the car mode also features different crashing battle noises to the robot mode.

:All of the toy's features can be turned off by a switch, and it has an additional "Try Me" mode which allows you to hear various sounds from the toy's various functions just by pressing the chest button.

:The toy is mistransformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure made the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block resting on Bumblebee's chest. In reality, it splits up into five separate pieces to fold and collapse into a more movie-like appearance.

:In the holiday season, Wal-Mart carried an exclusive "Bonus Buy" version of the toy, which had the Deluxe [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] toys added as freebies. Costco also carried an exclusive version, with the 3" [[Titanium Series]] version of Bumblebee packed in. However, it did not include the display stand.

:The projectile included with this figure is the same mold included with several [[Attacktix]] figures like the [[Decepticlone]], Omnicon, Vehicle Mode [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], and a few others.

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

:[[Fast Action Battlers]] Bumblebee transforms from concept Camaro to robot with a considerably simpler transformation than the standard deluxe toy, intended for the slightly younger set. His main "gimmick" is a spring-loaded missile launcher in his right arm. As is also the case with Ultimate Bumblebee, the toy is mis-transformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure make the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block. In reality, the chest/bumper consists of two rotating pieces which can pivot down so as to more accurately emulate the appearance in the movie.

:A redeco of Plasma Punch Bumblebee, with the usual Camaro striping now replaced with black colored paint details on upper section of the rear windows, the car roof & front hood, and both halves of each legs are now entirely painted black (due to the half of the leg pieces being swapped with the same grey used for his shoulders). Other deco differences include the crotch being painted silver, and the details on the majority of the body are now replaced with a greener shade of grey, and the turquoise unpaintable joints in now molded in lighter teal. In addition, the left forearm & his head (due to being molded in the same light brown-ish grey) is also painted yellow. Rally Rocket Bumblebee also features a tampograph decal based on his alliterative nickname "BB", with the first "B" letter reversed.

: As is also the case with the original [[Fast Action Battlers]] Bumblebee, the hood in his stock photos is misrepresented as a solid brick.

Sure to please the toddler you brought with you to the PG-13 movie.

**''ID number:'' '''TS-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand, set of Camaro mode armor, set of protoform armor, open-palmed hands
{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)}}

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

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of metallic orange plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be transform into his meteor-like "entry mode". This mode can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet.

:Bumblebee's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of many armor pieces that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a licensed Camaro concept. Compared to the overly simple transformation of the protoform mode, his car mode's transformation can be described as an abominable, unintuitive, parts-massaging ''mess''.

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

: As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] sub-line, this version of concept-Camaro Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure that hews very close to the movie's CGI model. It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, plus his right forearm can be replaced with his blaster-arm (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins). For some reason, he's closer to orange than his normal yellow.

The three-function infrared remote, in Bumblebee's signature colors, gives you control of the car with forward and reverse turn movement.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''EZ-03'''
{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

:''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class Bumblebee is based upon the updated Camaro Concept featured in the movie (unlike the 2007 Legends class Bumblebee which was based on the 1976 Camaro). Compared to the previous Movie Legends, he has better, more accurate detailing and proportions (or as accurate as can be obtained at this [[size class|price point]]).

:The [[:File:ROTF Legends Bumblebee HTS.jpg|second batch of stock photos of the toy]], which depict a [[prototype|(pre-)production sample]], show it in a much brighter shade of yellow plastic than it was released as. It's possible that this was simply the result of an excessive alteration of the hue settings during the digital enhancement of those photos, though.

:There are a few problems on the toy's vehicle mode: Probably due to tolerances, there are difficulties for perfectly aligning the wings/side windows with the legs/rear windows during transformation, though several samples does not seem to have this issue. In terms of deco, Bumblebee's face paint quality varies from figure-to-figure: Due to how the eyes are painted to emulate the mechanical optics; the central blue "eyeball" (especially the left one) is ''slightly'' lopsided. The forehead is often messily painted.

:In Malaysia, this toy is also one of the four Legends Classes to be released as promotional merchandise for the Petronas Gas Station. He can be obtained starting from the 26th of June (2 days are the movie's premiere), via RM30 ($7.04) worth of gas or RM15 ($3.52) worth of foods and items in the Mesra Shop.

:This mold was used as the basis for the non-toy character [[Saitama Prime]].

**''Accessories:'' Pulse Missile

:Released as part of a "preview" [[wave]] of the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Deluxe Class assortment alongside [[Soundwave (ROTF)/toys|Soundwave]], Bumblebee is a relatively major retool of the Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold, feature a new vehicle front end, hood and wheels to reflect the changes to the prop vehicle used in the movie; and in robot mode has a new, more accurate head sculpt... that just so happens to have some very creepy painted eyes but still, it's accurate nonetheless. Also, the paint on the door knobs, the gas lid, and the sculpted "Camaro" is omitted.

:His right arm has also been replaced by an all-new sculpt which substitutes the hand and the hand-held converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version for a built-in plasma cannon with a spring-loaded firing gimmick for the included missile. If one wishes to use the normal right arm, one must pop off the plasma cannon arm and replace it with the normal forearm from the Screen Battles figure (the only one with the accurate gray color), though the window must be replaced with the same translucent blue piece by unscrewing it.

:The instructions still depict him having the head from the 2007 Concept Camaro mold. Both the prototype and stock photos do not have his waist armor rotated into position in robot mode, while the later stock photo does not show the chest pieces being folded up. Due to the omission of the converting Plasma Cannon that holds the rear windows in position, the pieces may not align properly if the lower thighs/vehicle rear is not transformed properly during the robot-to-vehicle conversion.

:The initial production run included a missile that was slightly too long for the slot inside the arm, so it either has to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon must be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. This was fixed by a [[variant|running change]] that saw the missile slightly shortened.<ref name="missile1">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/bumblebee/1757/ Seibertron.com gallery of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], depicting the early version with a slightly too long missile.</ref><ref name="missile2">[http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/rotf/deluxe/bumblebee/ BWTF review of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], depicting the later version with a missile that fits in without a problem.</ref><ref name="missile3">[http://snakas.web.fc2.com/09movie/ra03bumblebee.html Autobase Aichi gallery of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], featuring a comparison of both versions of the missile.</ref> The corrected version was also released in other markets such as Japan and Europe.

Interestingly, his arms can be detached and easily popped onto the original mold, resulting in a more [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] robot mode, though this sacrifices transformation. This extensive retooling results in a car interior with seats and a crude dashboard, but the windows are so opaque that these new details can't easily be seen.

:Like his pack-in mate Optimus Prime, a near-identical [[knockoff]] of the 2-pack has been making the rounds since the 2-pack's release, with Bumblebee being the dead giveaway, as he comes with additional yellow paint on the lower "jaws", the uneven gray (and the forehead's red) paint on the helmet, and unpinned shoulder panels. The forearm's sculpted parts seem to be a little thinner than the original's.

**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-21'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 Missiles
{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Human Alliance Bumblebee comes with a posable figure of [[Sam Witwicky]] that can fit inside in Bumblebee's vehicle mode (plugging into his seat via a small hole in his back) and drive him. In robot mode, Bumblebee's vehicle mode seats end up on his arms, and Sam can sit in either of them; the seat on Bumblebee's right has a headrest that can fold down to look slightly less conspicuous in robot mode, while the seat on Bumblebee's left arm features a pair of cannons which flip over Sam's shoulders, offering him some offensive hardware to protect his rather precarious position. These cannons can also be flipped down further to form some over-the-shoulder restraints. Sam can also stand on a platform that flips out from the small of Bumblebee's back (again, via peg-holes on his feet), manning a small non-firing cannon that flips out over Bumblebee's right shoulder. Finally, Bumblebee's left palm also contains a peg, meaning Sam can securely stand or sit in his big buddy's hand. Bumblebee himself features a spring-loaded cannon for his right arm, which can fire the two missiles the figure comes with, a flip-out double-barreled silver cannon that points over his head, and a functional flip-down battle mask. Much like the rest of his Human Alliance brethren, Bumblebee is roughly the same size as an ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' toy, being slightly taller than ''Alternators'' [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] in robot mode.

:[[File:Human Alliance Bumblebee Prototype.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|left|Modders, vindicated by the prototype.]]
:There is a significant [[misassembly]] issue with Bumblebee: according to TakaraTomy's images of the resin [[prototype]] as well as Bumblebee's CG design, the retail toy's legs are on the wrong sides of his body, so the details on his legs are inverted. Since the instructions reflect this assembly, it's possible that this was [[design change|done on purpose]] because, with the toy in its originally intended assembly, the waist section could be rather difficult to transform for children. The toy's originally intended assembly can still be [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/243649-human-alliance-bumblebee-leg-mod.html easily achieved by disassembling his crotch and reassembling the legs backwards.] Once this is complete, Bumblebee will look the way he was intended to look while adding some minor extra steps during transformation.

{{toydesigner|[[Alex Androski]] (deco artist)}}

:Plonk him down. Lift him up. Plonk him down. Lift him up. This addictive toy transforms automatically when stood up (vehicle to robot), or placed on his back (robot to vehicle). A switch underneath his feet or his car mode releases the transformation — so the toy can be played with in relatively stable modes if held in the air, or just rolling along the ground.

:Because gravity is the powering force in the transformation there's no motors to wear out or batteries to use up when playing with the toy. Which is good, because you will be transforming him no less than nine million times.

:Bumblebee features dumpy proportions and low movie accuracy (no door wings here), forced upon the toy to accommodate the [[Gravity Bot]]s transformation gimmick. His robot mode has no articulation, not even head. But at least he has big feet! Or legs... or whatever the heck they are. Stump? At least he has a big stump.

("Arguably" because he has a tiny head.) Unlike the first movie ''Robot Replica'' Bumblebee, he comes with a permanent cannon arm without a replacement hand arm. His [[license plate]] is also considerably smaller than that of the first movie ''Robot Replica'' Bumblebee and features no detail aside from a red line evocative of a California license plate.

:Bizarrely, his chest still features detail from the front end of the first movie Bumblebee's Concept (standard model) Camaro [[alternate mode]] (notably the fog lights) as compared to the ZL1 model's front end used for most ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee toys.

*'''Battle Blade Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''AA-02'''
{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

:This entirely new Deluxe Class Bumblebee figure for the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toy line]] features a much more accurate and articulated sculpt in robot mode compared to previous versions of Deluxe class Camaro Concept Bumblebee, with the [[transformation scheme]] taking many cues from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Human Alliance Bumblebee, scaled down to Deluxe size, while using an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] design for the leg transformation directly based on the original Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee. Despite the very similar looks, Battle Blade Bumblebee uses no parts from previous toys; everything about him is an entirely new sculpt. Due to his robot mode height, he stands ''nearly'' taller than Battle Blade Optimus Prime.

:His right hand can be switched out for his cannon by opening the arm guard, flipping out the cannon barrel, folding away the right hand and folding the cannon over to the wrist. Due to how the parts were distributed on the plastic sprues during production, the cannon barrel is yellow rather than grey. The left arm-guard has a flip-out axe made of translucent blue plastic, representing the axe weapon Bumblebee uses in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video games]], which itself may have been based upon the electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] that was once considered as a melee weapon for Bumblebee in the first movie. The axe is spring-loaded, activated by a button on his arm-guard. This version of Movie Bumblebee also features a flip-down battle mask, very similar to Human Alliance Bumblebee. In other words, pure premium awesome-sauce.

:His head has a tendency to pop off during transformation. The space at the front of the collar would give him ''just'' enough clearance to pass his head through... if it was not for the small plastic flap (the one with the [[Autobot]] symbol) on his chest, which tends to push and squeeze the head out enough that the tension causes the head to pop and fly out from his ball-jointed neck.

:Stock photos show that the axe was originally made in such a way that the blade was mounted on a rod and could be rotated downwards, but this was changed entirely for unknown reasons (possibly fragility). As a result, the blade is mounted upside-down.

:The Japanese ''Autobot Alliance'' release features marginally darker yellow plastic and paint.

The thumbs and insides of his upper arms are also painted brown. The windows are clear and un-tinted. He has a brown "wash" over his lower arms and on his doors to simulate caked on dirt or mud.

*'''Battle Ops Bumblebee''' (2010)
{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

:Battle Ops Bumblebee is a larger than contemporary Leader class figures and features both "guardian" and "warrior" robot modes, which changes weapons and sound effects. His head has a flip down battle mask and his right arm converts into a plasma cannon automatically when his arm is raised. The cannon arm has limited articulation due to the gimmick, but features a small translucent blue hand which telescopes out of the cannon when not in use. He also is armed with two non-firing light-up shoulder/hood missile launchers which can be deployed in either mode, though not mentioned in the instructions, the missile launchers can be collapsed on the back in robot mode. Also, you have to remove the plastic ring attached on the right cannon hand before you use the toy.

:As revealed at the Hasbro designers panel at [[BotCon 2010]], an easter egg is hidden in Battle Ops Bumblebee's electronics: when in vehicle mode, pressing down on the front left end of the vehicle (or pushing the front left wheel up) thrice will play the first verse of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''Transformers'']] [[theme song]], and three subsequent presses will play the second verse.

:After 7 years, this ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece Movie Series]]'' Bumblebee is a brand-new ''Masterpiece'' mold, based upon his body from the first live-action film. Does it convert? Does it ever!

:As usual, he transforms from a roughly Voyager-sized robot that scales with the Generation 1 ''Masterpiece'' Autobot Cars. He, however, does NOT turn into a Concept Camaro seen in the first live-action movie, but rather the production model 2010 Camaro SS. His yellow is also inaccurate: The MPM is casted in Rally Yellow, and not the PBC-30 Sunrise that is used in the film. The latter inaccuracy is possibly due to licensing restrictions, as PBC-30 is not a factory option. His right hand can be replaced with a Stinger Blaster, which can be stored in the vehicle mode. He also features die-cast parts on his bottom legs & his feet.

:Some units feature misassembled waist tabs. Although stock photos shows his tire rims being painted silver, the actual product has tire rims painted in Chevy’s Midnight Silver, which was used as an optional paint for the 2010's Camaros.

:The Japanese release omits the paint applications on the eyes to allow for light piping, and it features a less dark shading on the blaster weapon. As with most TakaraTomy toys, It also uses black screws over unpainted screws.

:In the United States, Canada, Australia, and Hasbro's Asian markets, ''Masterpiece Movie Series'' Bumblebee was exclusively available from [[Toys"R"Us]], as was TakaraTomy's Japanese release. He was also initially released in the Transformers Atrium Fair in Takashimaya B2 Atrium located at Singapore, limited to 300 pieces. In Spain, meanwhile, he saw a wider release, being at least available via the Spanish subsidiaries of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour, as well as the department store chain El Corte Inglés. It's currently unknown if he was also available in stores, or limited to online purchases.

:The final toy differs from promotional photos by being cast in a different color of plastic similar to previous releases of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] sculpt, while the promotional photos depict him in a lighter hue of yellow. Amusingly, this has already happened before and in almost the exact same way. History tends to repeat itself, folks.

:This mold was also used to make other versions of Bumblebee (see below).

:Part of the first wave of ''Dark of the Moon'' Cyberverse Action Sets, this slightly redecoed version of DOTM Cyberverse Legion Class Bumblebee cast in a non-metallic, more orange-ish shade of yellow plastic, now with NEST markings on his doors and nothing in particular on his roof. Bumblebee comes in a set with the [[Mobile Battle Bunker]], as well as a jetpack with hinged wings which can clip onto Bumblebee's back in robot mode.

:Like the other action sets, this set's packaging includes a cardboard display backdrop. This time, it is of [[:File:Explosionfactory.jpg|an industrial area]], with a power plant of some sort in the background, with storage tanks to the sides. Oh, and there's fire and explosions ''everywhere''.

*'''Bumblebee / Starscream''' (Cyberverse 4-pack, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' Two-piece rifle

:[[Exclusive]] to [[Toys"R"Us]]'s Mission Earth series, this four pack contains two Bumblebee and two Starscream Cyberverse Legion toys. Cybertronian Bumblebee is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Bumblebee]], done up in live-action movie Bumblebee-style colors, while the other Bumblebee is a paint-heavy redeco of Bolt Bumblebee (see below), partially cast in translucent plastic and painted with a grid pattern to simulate a [[trans-scan]] effect. This Bumblebee also comes with a redecoed version of ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[Skywarp (MW)|Skywarp]]'s [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|gun]], which can be held in his newly retooled right hand. (This weapon is also depicted on Starscream's side of the instructions, confusing matters of ownership a bit.)

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

:The Bumblebees come packed with a [[retool]] of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|''Transformers'']] Legends Class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Starscream]] and a redeco of ''Legends of [[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]].

:An early name for this set was "Cyberverse Evolution", which is still used by some websites (including the Australian and United Kingdom Toys"R"Us sites), but that name does not appear anywhere on the packaging.

:The [[stock photography|stock photo]] used for the [[packaging]] (which depicts a hand-painted prototype) shows him lacking the retooled hand. The other stock photo (see the image to the right), which depicts a pre-production sample, does show the retooled hand, but has the weapon's handle plugged into a conveniently fitting slot on his ''other'' arm for whatever reason.

*'''Bumblebee / Soundwave''' with '''Rodimus''' (Cyberverse 3-pack, 2011)
{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

:Available exclusively at [[Walmart]] in a three pack with [[Soundwave (ROTF)/toys#Cyberverse|Soundwave]] and [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Rodimus]], this gold and silver Cyberverse Bumblebee is a redeco of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class Bumblebee, and lacks the newly tooled hand of the Target-exclusive Cyberverse Bumblebee and 011 Bumblebee (see below).

:This three-pack was also available as an Asda exclusive in the United Kingdom and from Rossmann stores in Germany and Auchan stores in Hungary and Italy. Of note is that the [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]] does ''not'' market Rodimus as a "bonus figure" (presumably so stores can charge full price for three toys), and his window lacks the yellow edges highlighting him as a special feature, despite still being separated from Bumblebee and Soundwave, who share a common window like in the US version. Despite this, Rodimus still doesn't get a mention on the back of the packaging, which only features a one-sentence "bio" about Bumblebee planning to bring down Soundwave in twelve different languages.

:All versions of the packaging also lack any logos that label the toys as Cyberverse products.

:Part of the second wave of ''Dark of the Moon'' Cyberverse Legion Class toys, (Bolt) Bumblebee is a retool of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class Bumblebee with a new right hand that enables him to hold Cyberverse accessories and interact with Cyberverse playsets.

:Whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of his packaging (which feature a hand-painted [[prototype]]) correctly show him with only a Cyberverse-compatible right hand and an unchanged left hand, the other set of stock photos (which feature a pre-production sample) depicts him with ''two'' retooled hands. Whereas the version with the new right hand was redecoed for several store-exclusive multi-packs, no version available in stores has featured the new ''left'' hand thus far.

:Although the toy is listed as "Bolt Bumblebee" on the official Hasbro website, the United States version and early releases of the [[multilingual packaging|European version]] simply use the name "Bumblebee" everywhere on the packaging, and the "Bolt" prefix was apparently only added as a [[variant|running change]] for later shipments of the European version.

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

:Part of the third wave of ''Dark of the Moon'' Cyberverse Legion Class toys, this toy is a [[black repaint|black]] redeco of his ''Dark of the Moon'' mold. His deco consists of the first two-thirds of his vehicle being cast in black, with painted yellow stripes on the hood and sides, and the rear third of his vehicle being an unpainted metallic yellow, giving the appearance of the stripes extending out from the back. His headlights and most of his windshields are painted a metallic blue, his crotch is painted silver, and he has a gold Autobot insignia on the tip of his hood.

:The yellow paint operations on the black plastic parts and the shade of yellow used for the unpainted yellow plastic parts clash so much that even [[Ben Yee]], who is usually ''very'' generous with his toy reviews, rated this redeco as sub-par.<ref name="stealthyee">[http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/dotm/legion/bumblebee-black/ BWTF review of ''Cyberverse'' Legion Class "Black" Bumblebee]</ref>

: Commemorating a hilarious and probably very expensive moment of stupidity on the ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' set wherein a {{w|Metropolitan Police Department|Metropolitan Police Department}} SUV was hit by a Bumblebee stunt car during filming, Bumblebee is a [[redeco]] of his Action Set toy (which uses his first ''Dark of the Moon'' Legion-Class figure) and is painted to hilariously have damage in the front of his vehicle mode. His [[Mobile Battle Bunker#CybertronianWarriors|Mobile Battle Bunker]] has been redecoed to be gray and had the jetpack slightly retooled.

: He was packaged in a Toys"R"Us-exclusive multi-pack with redecoed versions of [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys#CybertronianWarriors|Ironhide]], [[Crankcase (DOTM)#CybertronianWarriors|Crankcase]] (in a deco based on the aforementioned police SUV), and [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#CybertronianWarriors|Barricade]].

**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/[[Plasma cannon|Plasma Cannon]]
{{toydesigner|[[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Bumblebee transforms into a customized 2011 Camaro Concept. Bumblebee comes with a [[MechTech]] weapon which is a "Blaster" weapon, which opens up into a larger "Plasma Cannon" when its lever is pulled, but it springs back into its original position once the lever is released. The MechTech weapon can be held in his hands, attach via [[5 mm post|5mm pegholes]]/MechTech ports on his forearms, or plug in a "concealed" 5mm peg hole on the vehicle mode's roof. Two extraneous 5mm peg holes are also located on his vehicle mode hood flap and can be flipped up and used in robot mode to shoulder-mount weapons beside his head. Additionally, [[C joint]] bars are sculpted into Bumblebee's forearms. His pair of hands features poseable fingers (albeit 4+1), and it can be formed into a 5mm compatible hand if adjusted properly.

:Bumblebee can form a semi-Stealth Force configuration by lifting up the rear half of his roof, exposing concealed cannons sculpted in translucent blue plastic. Also of note in vehicle mode is the sculpted Camaro SS badging near the doors, which doesn't appear on any other ''Dark of the Moon'' Bumblebee toy or the prop vehicles used for filming.

:Just like his CG robot model, his [[package art]] depicts his racing stripes being pinstripe-bordered despite his toy no longer having it. Whoops.

:Bumblebee is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, molded in slightly different colors compared to his original widespread release, and also has some gold paint on his knees that the original did not have. This mold was also used to make ''Movie The Best'' [[Laserbeak (DOTM)#Movie The Best|Laserbeak]].

Like the Leader Class toy, he features sculpted (but unpainted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]]s in both modes, making it the first time the license plate used for the car props from all three movies is used for a Deluxe Class toy.

:He comes with a MechTech Boost Engine, which converts into a Plasma Cannon when the lever is pulled, and although it is similar in function and appearance to [[Skids (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Skids]]'s MechTech blaster, it is a new mold. He features five MechTech ports in vehicle mode: one on the hood, two of the roof and two behind his rear wheels. In robot mode, both of his arms have one MechTech port each, and the ports from vehicle mode can still be used.

:This [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] Bumblebee (also sold at Sainsbury's stores in the United Kingdom) is a redeco of the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|2007 ''Transformers'']] Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee, with the standard production model Chevrolet Camaro front end as compared to the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' ZL1 version and the first reuse of the 2007 mold, both hands and the hand-held [[plasma cannon]]/energy blade weapon. However, he ''does'' have the retooled shoulder panels that are held in place with screws (first introduced with ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Alliance Bumblebee).

:Bumblebee features many different ''Transformers'' [[insignia]]s from across different continuities, namely; [[:File:Ancient Autobot Symbol.png|Generation 1 Prehistory Autobot]], [[:File:Minicon symbol.png|Armada Mini-Con]], [[:File:Sumdac Systems.PNG|Animated Sumdac Systems]], [[:File:Playschool Go-Bots G.png|Playschool Go-Bot]], [[S.T.A.R.S.]], "FLY [[Omega Supreme (disambiguation)|Ω SUPREME]]", [[G.B.

:The [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the back of his packaging are quite strange, depicting a significantly different deco, with the primary color for his vehicle mode gradually fading from yellow to red towards the bottom, and parts of his abdomen sporting the same red color. In addition, his handheld weapon's blade sports a clear blue color. The final toy, by contrast, features no red at all, and his blade is cast in clear black plastic. Furthermore, the stock photos depict his eyes as bright blue, whereas the final toy's eyes are painted black. On top of that, the stock photos contradict ''each other'', with the photo of his robot mode depicting clear blue windows, whereas the photo of his vehicle mode depicts opaque ''black'' windows.

: Released in the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Leader Class figures, this version of Bumblebee is smaller than his previous Leader-sized incarnations and, ''technically'', is his first Leader-class toy. Along with the update to his Dark of the Moon form, this is also the first toy to feature a (sculpted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]] (the one used for the prop cars for all three movies). Being different in proportions to his other toys, this Bumblebee seems to have inspired his later "[[#NitroBee|Nitro Bumblebee]]" toy, having a much bulkier torso and smaller arms, with the entire hood pieces being deformed into his chest.

: The main gimmick is that he comes with a ''massive'' MechTech backpack, which hooks onto his back window/back, and is the sole electronic component of the toy. It resembles a [[jet pack|jet-pack]], and features missile pods and a cannon, all of which emit lights and sounds when pressed, and can be positioned for either robot or vehicle mode. Pressing the missile pod housings will emit orange lights and play the sound of a barrage of missiles being launched while pressing the cannon will prop up a targeting sight, emit green lights, and play the sound of the cannon deploying/charging and firing a powerful-sounding blast. The weapons can be deployed/retracted when the brown panel on the top-left of the backpack is slid, making the [[Transformation#The noise|transformation noise]] in the process (with an additional mechanical impact sound after deploying). There are a total of five MechTech ports and four [[C joint]] bars on the backpack, with a port and bar on each missile pod, a port on the side of the cannon barrel, a port on the sliding panel, a port on the top-center of the backpack, and a bar on top of each battery compartment.

: Bumblebee can also transform into his [[Stealth Force]] attack vehicle mode, wherein his hood portions split forward and open, his doors open and hinge up, his robot arms swing out from the sides to aim, his plasma cannon extends, and his backpack is attached and deployed, with dedicated pegs to help secure his doors, arms, and shoulders. Finally, like a few other Bumblebee toys, he also features a flip-down battle mask.

: Unfortunately, while Bumblebee has rotational leg [[articulation]], they're ''below'' the knees, limiting their usefulness. Even more unfortunately, while he's perfectly stable on his own, plugging in his backpack in robot mode will make him ''very'' back-heavy, resulting in significant balance issues and limitation of poseability due to his [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet joint]]s not being strong enough to handle the additional weight on one side. Posing him to lean forwards or posing his legs further to his back may remedy this.

: His secondary stock photos are slightly mistransformed: his shoulder collars are not folded out. Ironically; this mistranformation ''also allows'' the head to move slightly freely.

*'''Bumblebee''' (2011)
{{toydesigner|[[Lenny Panzica]] (Hasbro)}}

:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Bumblebee figure (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. Transformation consists of positioning him on the large blue section to the rear of his vehicle mode and pressing down, causing his components to shift around and reveal his robot parts; from there, one just has to rotate out his arms. Transformation back to vehicle mode is done by reversing the steps.

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

:[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/110058-question-robo-power-activators/ At least one report] has surfaced of a brand-new figure missing one of the locking tabs that work the spring-loaded transformation mechanism, leaving the figure unable to transform properly. Although most likely a one-off incident as no other cases are known to have happened, care should still be taken.

''Revving Robots'' Bumblebee is a toy that was designed for younger children and thus lacks transformation. Bumblebee has four points of articulation, the shoulders and hips. Pressing his Autobot symbol causes him to speak one of several prerecorded phrases that change actors mid sentence to invoke the sense that he was talking via his radio. Pushing up the blue shoulder pad activates his stinger blaster, causing it to spin and make blaster sounds. The toy was released alongside ''Revving Robots'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].

: The larger Bumblebee ''[[Kre-O]]'' kit is based on the [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee of the live-action films]], though with the face of the [[Bumblebee (G1)|Generation 1 character]] inside a movie-style helmet. He rebuilds into a sports car that can seat two [[Kreon]] figures, and has a spring-loaded missile launcher.

: He comes with three [[Kreon]]s; a Bumblebee based very much on [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Generation 1 Bumblebee]], [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Red Alert]], and an unnamed "Driver" with black hair and a gray shirt who we guess is meant to kinda sorta be a [[Sam Witwicky]]-like dude if you squint.

**''Accessories'': Blaster

:Available exclusively at the gift shop for "[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]" at [[Universal|Universal Studios]] theme parks, this set features a Bumblebee Kreon based on the first three live-action movies, aka "the version of Bumblebee that there's a giant costumed performer of at the park that guests can get their pictures taken with". After several years of only being available at the park proper, the 4-pack was eventually added to Universal's online store.

: In 2015(?), a new production run of the set was made using the revamped 2015-style Kreon bodies, among a few other small changes, including sharper tampographs with thinner linework. This set would later see slight production changes; the only notable change to Bee is that his tampographs have gone back to thicker lines and being a bit sloppier, something that happened to all of the figures in the set.

: In 2020, the set was revamped ''again'', removing Evac and replacing him with the [[N.E.S.T. Sentry]]. The other figures in the set are unchanged from their thicker-tampograph 2015-body versions.

**'''22 OF 30'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[August 3|8-3]], 2014
**''Accessories:'' 2 throwing stars

: Available only at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US, Canada, the UK and Germany, this two-pack contains another brand new Bumblebee sculpt based on the new form he acquires part way through the ''Age of Extinction'' film. Bumblebee transforms into a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro concept, and includes two 'fake kibble' hubcaps, which can be screen-accurately mounted on his back, removed and held as throwing star weapons, or store underneath his vehicle mode. Additionally, his right forearm features a flip-out cannon, and his head sports a flip down battle mask (which is horribly inaccurate to the actual battle mask in the film). The car windows on his forearms can be flipped down to represent the missile launchers he uses in the movie. Bumblebee cannot transform into vehicle mode with his Shurikens pegged on his back.

: The two-pack also includes a 'Classic' Bumblebee [[redeco]]ed from the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#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. In most regions, this pack was released ahead of the ''Age of Extinction'' Deluxe figure's single-carded release.

: The two-pack was one of the three Evolution 2-packs available as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Japan, with no changes to the figures themselves. The box features Japanese translated versions of the English text on the front and a sticker on the back confirming that this was a Japanese release. Take note that this was also the first Japanese release of the 2014 Camaro Bumblebee mold, 7 days ''before'' it's ''Movie Advanced'' Series release (seen below).

:This individual release of the Bumblebee is an unchanged version of the figure from the Evolution two-pack. He still includes the two throwing stars and the flip out cannon and flip down battle mask. Some variants are more of a yellow color than the original orange-ish yellow color. The Japanese release of the toy, released as part of ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)#Movie Advanced Series|Movie Advanced Series]]'' lineup (7 days after the original Hasbro Bumblebee mold from the Evolution 2-pack Bumblebee released in Japan), features paint operations on his robot mode's arms, thighs, & his eyes...although this neuters the light-piping gimmick.

:Most promotional images featuring this figure (like the one above), except the ones from Takara, have Bumblebee mistransformed, with his shoulders not folded down correctly and his front bumper/grille not folded down into his chest.

:The mold was later redecoed as Movie Advanced Series [[Stinger (AOE)#Movie Advanced Series|Stinger]].

:''Platinum Edition'' Bumblebee is an extensively redecoed version of the second Deluxe Bumblebee figure.

: A toy exclusive to Takara's 'Movie Advanced' line, this Bumblebee is a redeco of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers (2010)'']] Battle Blade Bumblebee. This toy combines with some unpainted yellow robot parts and has metallic yellow paint on most of his car shells/body parts...resulting in weird, two-tone yellow colors in robot mode. Other than this, the paint masks are ''completely identical'' to the original mold, with an exception of the flip-out cannon & his blade, which is chromed. Because of the gradual downsizing of deluxe figures after 2011, this Bumblebee was released as a Voyager Class figure despite its original release being a Deluxe Class figure.

:This Bumblebee is a ''slight'' redeco of the second [[#ThirdTLKDeluxe|''The Last Knight Premier Edition'' Deluxe Class figure]], with darker yellow plastic and paint seen in the first ''Movie the Best'' figure above. He also sports some tooling changes: Notably, the arm cannon is a different tooling that is the mirror opposite of the version available with the original release, and thus it is designed to attach to the ''right'' arm instead of the left one. Less notable is the addition of a [[C joint|3mm peg]] to the right forearm to make it a mirror opposite of its left counterpart, allowing it to be attached to the back while the cannon is attached to the arm. Additionally, he comes with a new hammer accessory (hence the name) based on the hammer Bee used during his fight with Nemesis Prime in ''The Last Knight''. The Hammer can also be stored onto the rear hip, or onto Bumblebee's vehicle spoiler, mounted along with the Stinger Blaster. All the new pieces are made from the same tooling, resulting in slightly mismatched forearms, with the new right one made of gray plastic painted orange and silver while the left one is made of orange plastic with silver paint.

[[File:TF-TLK-Premier-Edition-Bumblebee-variants.jpg|left|230px|thumb|"I'll change my paint job so I can fool everyone that I changed into a new car!"]]
:Bumblebee was re-released in the second wave of the Premier Edition Deluxe line, and now features a black section on the car roof & the rear section of the vehicle shell. The easiest way to identify the variant is by looking at the bottom rear piece while the figure is in-package, as the black paint can be seen through the clear plastic. This variant also applies to the TakaraTomy release of the figure. Due to this, the initial variant became less common.

:TakaraTomy's stock photo of the robot mode figure was later used as a cutout "battle figure" included with Telebi Magazine's [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TVMagazineEZ|Burning Megatron]].

**''Accessories'': Two throwing stars

:Released as one of the prizes from the "Midnight Madness" event in an Toys R'Us in Singapore, this Bumblebee, released under the ''Premier Edition'' subline, is the deluxe figure above, which is a redeco of ''Age of Extinction Generations'' Bumblebee, but with battle damage paint all over it. In some countries like Malaysia, Bumblebee can be obtained by buying some ''The Last Knight'' and any other Transformers-related items in a fairly expensive price (RM350), and he will be given away individually, or along with Prime if you buy products equal to a more expensive price (RM700). This giveaway event was available from 12 May till 11 June 2017 and was available again on 30th June till 30th July.

:Apart from the weathering, this Bumblebee uses the painted rear vehicle shell variant.

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

:This Deluxe Class Bumblebee transforms from a robot based on his appearance in ''The Last Knight'' into a 2017 Concept Camaro. He also comes with a "Stinger Blaster" arm cannon, which replaces his left arm, or stores underneath his robot mode back. The arm can also be wielded as a handgun via its 5 mm post.

:On many copies of this toy, the pegs securing the feet come undone easily, making the feet really floppy, while some parts like the "wings" are prone to becoming detached. Despite what the instructions say, the left arm should be pulled sideways out of the joint instead of down to prevent breakage of the connection. In several occasions, the only way to secure the feet's pegs is by pressing the pieces together firmly. (Make sure the pieces are properly adjusted.)

:The TakaraTomy stock photo of the robot mode has the waist kibble slightly mistransformed.

:This mold was also slightly retooled (changing the replacable gun arm from the left to the right arm) into [[#MB18|''Movie the Best'' War Hammer Bumblebee]] and was used to make [[#Studio_Series|''Studio Series'' Bumblebee]].

**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[September 30|09-30]], 2017
**''Accessories'': 2 projectiles (1977 Camaro Bumblebee), Missile (1967 Camaro Bumblebee), Detachable Arm Cannon (2016 Camaro Bumblebee)

:''[[Transformers Tribute]]'' Bumblebee Evolution 3-pack consists of redecos of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys|the first Deluxe Class Bumblebee figure from the 2007 Movie]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys 5|High Octane Bumblebee from ''Age of Extinction'']], and the most recent, [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#ThirdTLKDeluxe|second ''Premier Edition'' Bumblebee figure]]. The 3-pack features particularly unique packaging, modeled after a garage, complete with graffiti.

:For the 1977 Camaro Bumblebee figure, he uses the opaque windows from the Hasbro release and the fixed Automorph gimmick from the Towed to Safety and the Evolution of a Hero 2-packs. Paint operations on this Bumblebee are minimized compared to his original release, omitting the battle damage on the vehicle mode and some smaller details of his robot mode such as the blue stripes on his thighs and parts of his face. The Automorph button does not use the painted stripes from the Evolution of a Hero 2-pack.

:The 1967 Camaro Bumblebee figure keeps the paint layout of its original "High Octane" release, but features several plastic color differences: The yellow parts are changed from a darker, more orange-y tone to the same lighter shade of yellow plastic shared among all the figures in this set, with the yellow paint operations and tampographs in vehicle mode changed accordingly, all the charcoal-colored parts are replaced by black plastic, the missile (and all of the unpaintable plastic joints) is changed from black to yellow, the baby blue paint operations for the eyes are changed to a darker tone, and the fully transparent windows are now a slightly tinted translucent plastic.

:The 2017 Camaro Bumblebee figure also features smoky translucent plastic in his windows as opposed to the original's entirely transparent ones. The Hasbro stock photo for his robot mode still depicts him holding his arm cannon as a gun. This also applies to Takara's secondary stock photos. Speaking of Takara, his vehicle mode roof is also slightly mistransformed.

:The set also saw release as an Amazon Japan exclusive.

**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[April 28]], 2018
**''Accessories'': Detachable Stinger Blaster, "Police Chase" backdrop

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Bumblebee is effectively a new mold (testing the limits of what constitutes a "retool"). The figure recycles the engineering of [[#ThirdTLKDeluxe|''The Last Knight Premier Edition'' Bumblebee]], with a new vehicle shell and some body parts (mostly the lower section) that make Bumblebee slightly smaller than the original mold and thus more to scale with the ''Studio Series'' toys. He transforms into a yellow 1977 Chevrolet Camaro based on his appearance in the first live-action ''Transformers'' movie in 22 steps and includes a cardboard backdrop display depicting his encounter with [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. He also includes a blaster similar to the one from the ''Premier Edition'' figure, though slightly downscaled, with a different connection point and a slightly altered mirrored sculpt, similar to the ''Movie the Best'' War Hammer Bumblebee toy. The leg joints' floppy connection is also amended from the previous mold. Bumblebee features a [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake]] front grill on his robot mode chest, which the real grill slides over in vehicle mode. He also features rectangular holes on his lower front bumper, the rocker panels, the rear end of the front hood, and the lower valance. The Stinger Blaster can be mounted onto the rear bumper.

:Depending on the individual sample's quality control, Bumblebee has some problems with parts (notably the rear section of the vehicle) refusing to lock together and continually detaching from their proper position thanks to some tolerance issues. His lack of pins on the car roof, combined with said quality control issues, make the transformation ''absolute hell'' if followed by the instructions. Thankfully, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm921hDELGM ways] have been found to transform him to help remedy this problem. Additionally, while converting into both modes, don't flip the lower yellow leg pieces first or after within contact distance at the same time; Doing so can collide both parts and leaves a small but glaring paint chip. The only way to avoid this issue is by leaving the pieces untransformed/flipped back before you separate/reconnect the rear halves.

:Bumblebee, along with the rest of Wave 1 Deluxes, was made available at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] following New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], two months ahead of the scheduled brick and mortar release. The second run of the toy features a running change that eventually amends the quality control issues that plagued the first run. The fixed version's date code is written as "80201". Sadly some copies carrying this code still have the QC issues from the original figure.

**''Movie'': '''''Bumblebee'''''
**''ID number'': '''15'''
**''Accessories'': Detachable Stinger Blaster, bumper, 2 rocker panels, 2 spoilers, 2 hoods, [[Charlie Watson]] figurine, "Highway Freedom" backdrop

:This ''Studio Series'' Bumblebee is a redeco of the 01 Deluxe Class toy above, featuring new customizable parts (bumper, rocker panels, spoilers, hoods) for his vehicle mode to evoke the look of a muscle car (while making use of the rectangular holes from the original toy), though they prevent him from fully transforming into robot mode while attached (with the exception of the car hood). He also includes two different options for a spoiler and the hood in car mode. The set includes a Charlie Watson [[Slug figure|figurine]] wearing a shirt with the ''Bumblebee'' logo. Compared to the first ''Studio Series'' Bumblebee toy, he loses the striping on the vehicle shells and chest, the silver toes & the yellow and some of the black on his chest flap (probably meant to evoke his appearance in the prequel movie), and the Stinger blaster's upper section. Instead, a vast sticker sheet is included with multiple different decals to customize the figure.

:This set was originally intended as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive and had the working name "Rebekah's Garage" (presumably the name of the originally intended backdrop scene; the general retail wave 3 figure listed below has a "Charlie's Garage" backdrop), but because of Toys"R"Us's bankruptcy, those plans have changed. After having been found at a single [[Target]] store in the United States before it was even officially announced, it was revealed as an alleged Entertainment Earth "exclusive", but was simultaneously also listed by competing online retailers such as [[BigBadToyStore]] and ToyWiz, in many instances still under the old working name. It ''was'' released as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Canada, with store price tags featuring yet ''another'' working name, "Street Racer Set". Neither name can be found on the packaging, which simply calls the figure "Bumblebee" with no additional prefix or suffix, and the backdrop scene is called "Highway Freedom" on the back.

:All stock photos of the toy's robot mode are mistransformed: His rear kibble/car roof is not folded into a compact piece to tuck into his back.

**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[October 27]], 2018
**''Accessories'': Detachable Gatling Gun, arm blade, battle-mask face, "Charlie's Garage" backdrop

:Part of the third wave of ''Studio Series'' Deluxe Class toys, Bumblebee transforms from a robot based on the ''Bumblebee'' film into a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle and back! He also comes with a detachable right Gatling Gun arm, an arm blade that can be attached to any of his arms, and a normal face that can be switched out for a battle mask. Most of his additional accessories can be attached to the underside of his car or to his back in robot mode. The exception is one of his faces, which, hangs off his car window. Bumblebee can transform into vehicle mode with either of his faces attached, but cannot be fully transformed with his Gatling gun arm on.

:He is one of the smallest figures in the ''Studio Series'', standing at the same height as [[Jazz (Movie)#Studio Series|Jazz]], most likely due to his small stature in the ''Bumblebee'' film itself.

:TakaraTomy stock photos of the figure depict him lacking silver paint on his robot mode feet, similar to the slightly redecoed figure from the upcoming Then & Now 2-pack. (However, it was currently unknown if the said stock photos are digitally edited versions of the said figure (which also unintentionally revealing the toy from the 2-pack), or it was just a quality control-prone copy sent for photography.) One of the robot mode stock photos is also slightly mistransformed in robot mode: his chest pieces are not locked correctly.

:Like the first Studio Series Bumblebee, this figure also suffers from several design flaws exacerbated by potential quality control issues. Due to the tolerance-altering layers of paint involved, the connection between the face pieces and the back of the head can be too tight or pop off, potentially causing paint chipping. Meanwhile, his vehicle mode's kibble has some minor tabbing issues, notably on the waist piece; his 5mm-compatible hands are prone to popping out if rotated back too far, and his pair of wing doors in robot mode have a tendency to flop over time. However, a gradual running change seems to have fixed these errors almost entirely.

:The vehicle hood and roof that forms his backpack is meant to lock securely into a groove on his upper back in robot mode, but there are two tabs on his back that make this process very difficult and pose the risk of breaking the translucent plastic hinge that has to be forced over it during transformation. While the first tab, located on his hip, is required to store his cannon in either mode, the second tab just below the groove can be sanded down to ease transformation.

In addition, the set features a lineup number of 19, the second Hasbro exclusive in ''Studio Series'' to possess a number after [[Thundercracker (Movie)#Generations|Thundercracker]]. This Bumblebee uses the second run of the mold, which appears to be much more stable than the regular retail release.

As for the Volkswagen Bumblebee mold; while most of the paint masks are identical to the first mold, he features a number of rusty paint applications on the lower section of the side doors & the front hood, and the silver paint operations are removed from his feet, which was previously seen in the TakaraTomy stock photo of the individual release. Additionally, the Autobot symbol on his non-battle mask face is larger.

**''Accessories'': Pistol, hammer, "WWII Flashback" backdrop

:Part of the fifth wave of ''Studio Series'' Deluxe Class toys, "WWII Bumblebee" is based on his appearance during [[World War II]] in ''The Last Knight''. Rather than transforming into the Mercedes-Benz car as seen in the movie, however, he transforms into an armored car as in [[Josh Nizzi]]'s concept art for the character — though it's a ''different'' armored car, being a {{W|Humber Light Reconnaissance Car}} rather than a {{w|Humber Scout Car}}! Bumblebee's Warhammer, based on the one used in World War II (and can double as a monotone version of the warhammer used in his fight against Optimus), doubles as a vehicle mode artillery barrel, with his handgun transforming into a top-mounted turret. As an unadvertised feature, the hammer can be mounted on the back with the handle facing upwards to the left.

:In a ''near''-unnoticeable detail, the Autobot insignia can be seen on his forehead, and it blends very ''badly'' with the green plastic.

:WWII Bumblebee also features a pseudo-[[Automorph Technology|Automorph gimmick]]: His front chest panel can be pushed up and down, retracting/extending his head as long it faces upwards. Also, due to his transformation scheme, WWII Bumblebee is a [[shellformer]], with the majority of the vehicle shells hanging on his rear like a backpack. Speaking of vehicle shells, the "backpack" also blocks the tab hole for display stands unless it's slightly lifted up. While the turret base can be rotated, the Pistol's handle is loose enough to swivel while mounted on, rendering the feature pointless. In a rather baffling design flaw: The holes on the (seemingly) bobbling chest panel are meant to lock with the shoulder joint's tabs, though both the shoulder joint and chest tabs are too further to be tabbed on. On the bright side, the arms are not easily dislodged further from the central body as the backpack is holding the shoulder joints/rear wheel kibble in place.

:This mold was retooled as [[Hot Rod (DOTM)#Generations|WWII Hot Rod]].

:While the deco seemed to be ''very'' similar to the giveaway figure from above, the patterns are slightly different compared to that toy. While most of his paint masks are identical from the first toy, his chest's stripes and stomach's yellow and some of the black are omitted like the Charlie Watson multipack, the rear vehicle stripes are shortened, and the entire Stinger Blaster is entirely coated in silver (except the pegs). Some yellow paint is omitted from his forearms, and the painted pegs on the feet that connect with the thighs in vehicle mode are removed. The Autobot symbol on his forehead is also slightly narrower.

:This release of the mold finally features the pins for the car roof's midsection, which prevents it from falling off during transformation.

**''Accessories'': Stinger Blaster, "City Tunnel Switch" backdrop

:The fifth general retail Bumblebee figure in the ''Studio Series'' lineup, this Bumblebee represents his updated form in the 2007 ''Transformers'' movie and transforms in a whopping 39 steps, with some transformation cues taken from his ''Studio Series'' 1977 Camaro version and from the ''Dark of the Moon'' [[#NitroBee|Nitro Bumblebee]] mold. Like the [[#MPM3|''Masterpiece Movie'' figure]], this Bumblebee does not actually turn into his screen-accurate 2006 Camaro Concept, but rather a production 2010 Camaro, likely due to licensing. Notable differences are the shaping of the front bumper and the inclusion of an antenna on the roof.

:His head comes with a non-removable battle mask, which is on the same size ball joint as the original and Clunker versions of Bumblebee in this line, allowing you to easily swap the heads. Unlike the past ''Studio Series'' Camaro Bees, he has a Stinger Blaster that can simply be plugged into his hand, without the need to replace his arm. The blaster can be stored on the back of his robot or car mode. Because of the physical space needed to store the arms in vehicle mode, Bumblebee has a thin waist (with a front stomach panel to compensate) when viewed from the side. Though not depicted at right, his door-wings can be tilted upward to more accurately replicate their orientation in the movie. He comes with a cardboard backdrop display based on the tunnel interior where he scanned his new vehicle mode in ''Transformers''.

:Like the rest of the figures in the same wave, Bumblebee first saw release in some Toys"R"Us Shops in Malaysia and independent retailers in Hong Kong.

The box and cardboard backdrop depicting [[Operation: Firestorm]] are changed to the normal ''Studio Series'' graphics as opposed to ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''.

:''Studio Series'' "N.E.S.T. Bumblebee" is a desaturated gray and silver redeco of the above [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS57|"Offroad Bumblebee"]] figure, with a nameless repack of the Sam Witwicky figure originally included with 74BB ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BW74|Bumblebee]]. He also features clear green headlights and windows, and a different version of the [[NEST]] / Autobot emblem on his hood. Though not based on the films, Bumblebee's color scheme of grey, with subtle green highlights, and an organization badge coincidentally evokes the [[#Daredevil|''Dark of the Moon'' Autobot Daredevil Squad Bumblebee]].

:The seemingly odd choice for this figure's coloration is explained by the fact that it was originally intended for [[Universal|Universal Studios]]'s ''[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]'', just like "[[Megatron (Movie)/toys#SSUniversal|As Seen In Parks Megatron]]", but due to the global {{w|COVID-19 pandemic}}, Universal had to temporarily close its theme parks. Looking for another outlet to release the two figures instead of waiting for the pandemic to be over, Hasbro made them both available as "shared exclusives" between several online retailers in the US, such as [[Hasbro Pulse]], [[BigBadToyStore]] or Entertainment Earth. While it was too late to completely redesign Megatron's packaging, N.E.S.T. Bumblebee was still in an early enough stage of development that Hasbro could change the packaging design and brand him as part of the ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' film, despite never sporting that color scheme in the film itself.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=That was handled by another designer, but it was intended to released as a universal parks aligned Nest vehicle to go along with their in park experience which is based on NEST not Sector 7.

:Part of the seventeenth wave of ''Studio Series'' Deluxe Class toys, Bumblebee is now based on his ''Dark of the Moon'' appearance. He's a significant, if subtle, retool of the 2007 movie version of the mold, featuring all new parts for his alt mode, except for the clear parts, roof, and door hinges, to accurately replicate his 2011 Camaro SS mode (and finally making the antenna on the roof accurate). In robot mode, he features a new screen-accurate faux chest and a new unmasked headsculpt (different from the previous versions), though it is lacking the usual Autobot logo tampograph. He is also lacking paint on his feet, parts of his shoulders, and the rear vehicle stripes, though he has numerous other new paint apps in return. Bumblebee comes with the same Stinger Blaster, which again can be handheld and store on his back or on the rear of the car.

:Like the other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a display backdrop, depicting the Battle of Chicago. Hasbro stock images and CG renders forgot to fold down his secondary wings, while the former also has his chest mistransformed. The box art actually depicts Bumblebee in his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' design, though it was a new render used to promote ''Dark of the Moon''.

:Bumblebee and his wavemates were revealed on [[May 10]], 2022, with preorders coming up the same day. Unusually for a modern ''Generations'' release, Bumblebee was revealed by [[TakaraTomy]] before [[Hasbro]], which usually unveils upcoming toys before or simultaneously with TakaraTomy.

:"15th Anniversary" Bumblebee is a redeco/retool of the 2007 movie ''Studio Series'' figure, featuring altered paint applications and plastic color changes. He utilizes the unmasked head from the ''Dark of the Moon'' version of the toy above, this time with the Autobot tampograph added, as well as the racing stripes from the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' version. On this version, the black plastic has been replaced with light gray, the yellow and dark gray plastics are lighter, and the windows/doors are a much darker translucent black. The the gunmetal paint operations and headlights are now silver. Notably, paint applications were removed from his feet, faux chest, arm guards, and most of his shoulders.

:Some owners have noted that this version has much looser joints, especially in the legs, possibly from [[Mold#Deterioration|mold degradation]].

:This figure comes in an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive 5-pack alongside redecoes of ''Studio Series'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Optimus Prime]], [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Ironhide]], [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Ratchet]] and [[Jazz (Movie)#SS15thAnniversary|Jazz]], released to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the first live-action [[Transformers (film)|''Transformers'' film]].

He has black stripes on the roof that are inaccurate to the movie. In rare move, this toy features separate clear pieces for the windows.

:He comes with his Stinger Blaster and an arm blade. The blaster clips over his right hand. The unpainted arm blade attaches to either arm and is compatible with past ''Studio Series Bumblebee'' movie Bees. According to Sam Smith, the blade was originally intended for an "alternate release" before being packed in with this one. Both accessories can store on his wings in robot mode. In car mode, the sword stores underneath while the blaster attaches to the rear. He includes a "Volcano Showdown" display backdrop.

:A [[variant]] of this Bumblebee has been found, with a more completely painted face in a darker silver, though this means his yellow cheeks have been inaccurately painted over as well.

:Released as part of ''Bumblebee'' Energon Igniter's Speed Series line, this Bumblebee is a Legends/Legion-sized mold (standing in the same height as [[Jazz (Movie)#Legends Class toys|Legends Class Jazz]]) that transforms from robot into a licensed Volkswagen Beetle in just a few steps, and he features 3mm compatible hands. Bumblebee can also be attached to the Energon Igniters core, and due to the toy being lightweight, it can propel his vehicle mode forward very quickly. As the port is 5mm compatible, Bumblebee can mount with other smaller weapons with the same post size, making him an efficient weapon-towing vehicle. Due to being used with transformation, Bumblebee features a pair of well-articulated legs, as long you don't mind the Energon Igniters port sticking out from his left knee. Apart from the sculpted Volkswagen symbol on his front hood, Bumblebee doesn't have any single Autobot insignia tampographed or sculpted on.

:The instructions tell you that his front window panel needs to be clicked back and forth during transformation, though the said panel is super tight to the point of being reinforced. However, with a little strength of pushing it down, The panel can freely click as intended.

:Based on Bumblebee's appearance in the 2007 movie and the pre-credits scene in the ''Bumblebee'' movie, this Speed Series Bumblebee now transforms into a 1977 Chevrolet Camaro. The figure's proportions and sculpted detail are significantly improved compared to his [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Legends Class toys|first Legends Class figure]], though the new transformation leaves him with a faux chest and no trademark door-wings. His vehicle mode is largely unpainted, save for a single black paint app for the windshield and hood stripes. The black unpaintable patches on the car roof evoke roof stripes... even though this vehicle mode never ''had'' that detailing. He also features pinned wheels instead of the simple-assembly ones. In a surprisingly near-unnoticeable detail, the Autobot Insignia is sculpted on his fake chest. He shares a similar transformation scheme with ''Robots in Disguise (2015)'' Legion Class [[Sideswipe (RID)#Legion Class|Sideswipe]].

:Due to minor [[Design flaw#Clipping issues|clipping issues]] and potentially a case of [[Design flaw#Inferior glue|inferior glue]], pulling out his arms/vehicle headlights while converting into robot mode with excessive force can snap his 3mm hands from his arms.

:This two-pack is a re-release of Energon Igniters [[#PowerPlusCamaro|Power Plus Camaro Bumblebee]] and [[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Power Optimus Prime]], both without any known changes, though Optimus now comes with his own Igniter core.

:Initial stock photos for this pack had ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts]]'' co-branding, but due to the movie being delayed another year, it was changed to ''Bumblebee'' branding instead. Later stock photos reflected this change.

:As part of the [[co-branding|co-branded]] ''Generations Studio Series / Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' line, [[#SS15|''Studio Series'' 15 Bumblebee]] was re-released in Deluxe Class packaging, now omitting the customizable parts and stickers. Instead, this release features tampographed stripes, in addition to a pinned roof like the SS-27 Clunker toy. The backs of the hands lack the yellow paint from the original SS-15 toy. The initial stock photos use the original SS-15 toy with unpainted eyes, and stock renders on the box reuse ones from the SS-01 toy. The backdrop is smaller due to the Deluxe Class-sized box and has the red graphics swapped for yellow.

This version sports a more accurate orange-yellow color and new racing stripes, but also uses less accurate light gray plastic and silver paint applications, and has no paint on his feet. He comes with an additional Sam Witwicky [[Slug figure|figurine]] molded in a static running pose similar to his ''Movie Masterpiece'' toy, but much smaller in size. He also comes with the same Stinger blaster as before and a cardboard backdrop display depicting [[Operation: Firestorm]].

:A re-issue of the [[#Deluxe Class toys 5|High Octane Bumblebee from ''Age of Extinction'']] toy included in the ''[[Transformers Tribute|Tribute]]'' [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Tribute|Bumblebee Evolution 3-pack]] was released as part of a battle back with [[Stinger (AOE)#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Decepticon Stinger]]. Though the included backdrop depicts their Hong Kong showdown in ''Age of Extinction'', the pack itself better reflects their first encounter at KSI's headquarters, when Bumblebee was still in his "High Octane" design.

:Oddly, the back of the packaging features stock photos of the original ''Age of Extinction'' High Octane Bumblebee instead of the ''Tribute'' deco ''actually'' used on this version of the mold.

:While High Octane Bumblebee supposedly occupies the ''Studio Series'' "79" spot, he has yet to release in the regular ''Studio Series'' line, whose numbering is currently well past "79".

**''Movie'': '''''Bumblebee'''''
**''ID number'': '''70BB'''
**''Accessories'': Gatling gun, "Cybertron Falls" backdrop (1st version)

:This B-127 is a minor redeco of the original ''Studio Series'' [[#SS70|B-127]] figure in a darker shade of yellow and with dark blue translucent plastic instead of a smokey gray. The gunmetal and silver paint is also a slightly darker shade. Replacing the battle mask head of the original, B-127 sports a fully painted unmasked head from the [[#SS57|Offroad Bumblebee]] figure, which B-127 was retooled from. B-127 also has additional yellow paint to visually connect the two faux vehicle parts on his chest better, though he lacks the gray paint on his torso that visually connected the gray plastic parts together. Compared to the [[Cliffjumper_(Movie)#Studio Series|Cliffjumper]] and the original B-127 toy, this B-127 features much tighter joints.

:Like the rest of the second assortment of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Deluxe Class toys, B-127 was found at retail in Taiwan in early December 2021 with no prior announcement. Unlike most products in this subline though, he and his wave mates had the honor of being officially revealed, as seen in the [[February 4]], 2022 [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fan First Friday]].

*'''Bumblebee / Airazor / Autobot Mirage''' (Jungle Mission 3-pack, July 2023)
**''Accessories'': 2 bumper weapons, rollcage

: Included as part of a Target-exclusive ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' "Jungle Mission 3-pack", this Bumblebee is another Deluxe Class iteration of the character that converts into a licensed off-road 1977 Camaro. His right forearm can rotate to become a plasma cannon, and his front bumper splits to become two hand-held weapons. The plasma cannon features a hexagonal 5mm port in its barrel, and the rollcage that goes on his windshield in vehicle mode can be attached to his arm.

: The back of his head has a transparent section to allow for [[light-piping]], however the effect is mostly neutered since his eyes are painted over.

: Due to a [[design flaw]], Bumblebees neck doesn't stay fixed in robot mode and can easily cause itself or the kibble around it to become easily undone when messed around with.

: This set also includes [[Airazor (ROTB)#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Airazor]] and [[Mirage (Movie)#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Mirage]].

:Part of the first wave of TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers Premium Finish|Premium Finish]]'' subline, Bumblebee is an extensive redeco of the [[#SS18|VW Beetle]] mold, featuring additional paint operations and a paler shade of yellow to better resemble his on-screen appearance in the ''Bumblebee'' movie. However, the desaturated yellow seems to be specifically based on the beach scene with Charlie. Of note, his eyes and the surrounding space are given far larger paint applications. Unlike previous releases, this figure features remolded tabs on the car/wing kibble for a more secure tabbing in vehicle mode.

*[[Aaron Archer]] mentioned that when Hasbro received pictures of numerous toys of Bumblebee [[shelfwarmer|shelf-warming]], they finally realized that they had indeed gone overboard with his toys.

:''Hatchet is a [[Decepticon]] [[Dread (DOTM)|Dread]] from the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:DOTM_Hatchet_concept.jpg|thumb|upright=1.9|When you meet anything that's going to be human and isn't yet, or used to be human once and isn't now, or ought to be human and isn't, you keep your eyes on it and feel for your hatchet.]]
Decepticon master strategist '''Hatchet''' is most famous for formulating devastating counter-attacks against [[Autobot]] defenses. Yet as a member of the Dreads infiltration and assassination team, he also plays another role, taking on the dirtiest jobs available personally and exterminating his targets with a brutal and efficient finality.

==Fiction==
===''Dark of the Moon'' adaptations===
Hatchet was one of the many Decepticons stationed on [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. When [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] was being retrieved from the wreckage of the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'', he quietly emerged from the Moon's surface and secretly hitched a ride on the Autobots' shuttle back to Earth. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 1|Dark of the Moon #1}}

===''Dark of the Moon'' film===
[[File:DOTM-Hatchetpounce.jpg|right|thumb|250px|This is what we call a hatchet job.]]
[[File:HatchetTF3.jpg|left|thumb|255px|An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.]]
After [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] was retrieved from Earth's moon and reactivated, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] put into motion the plan that had been waiting in the wings for hundreds of years. With the [[human]] [[Sam Witwicky]] believing that the Decepticons wished to capture Sentinel and force him to use the control pillar to activate his space bridge, the Dreads were sent to pursue the Autobots. After [[Crowbar]] disposed of [[Seymour Simmons]], Hatchet and [[Crankcase (DOTM)|Crankcase]] leaped to attack, only for the Autobots to break suddenly and deploy their [[Stealth Force]] mode. Hatchet was targeted by the Autobot [[Dino]], who embedded his anchored blades into the Decepticon's back, and corralled Hatchet into the firing line of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. After Hatchet was pounded with Autobot ordnance, Dino tossed the Decepticon into the oncoming side of the highway, where he slammed into a passing car and was destroyed. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

{{note|Hatchet’s involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]" and "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon: The Junior Novel]]," the comic mini-series "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation]]," and the storybooks "[[Bumblebee's Best Friend]]," "[[Dark of the Moon: Action Pop-ups!]]" and "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Mix & Match]]."}}

:Released in the third wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)| Dark of the Moon]] [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Commander-class toys, Hatchet transforms into a modified Eurofighter Typhoon jet rather than his on-screen SUV alternate mode. He includes two attack drones that can be carried under his wings in vehicle mode or transformed into two cannons, one single- and one multi-barreled. These cannons can then be combined end-to-end to form a larger two-handled rifle. Despite being a quadruped, his claws are still designed to be able to hold Cyberverse-scale weapons. His jet mode has flip-out landing gear in the nose.

: Most likely to save space, his lower legs are not fully transformed in-package (the official photos also depict him mistransformed this way.). The instructions also don't mention it, but Hatchet can stand very well on two legs, being able to hold his weapons in his hands without balance issues.

: In an undocumented step of his transformation, the flap behind his cockpit (at the base of his robot mode tail) flips back to cover much of the open space in his torso. In a total design fluke, this cavity is large enough for a [[Human Alliance]] pilot figure, making Hatchet function like a Human Alliance toy.

*In early production, the [[Dread (DOTM)|Dreads]] were announced to be a pair of modified Chevrolet Suburbans.

*An early working name for him was "Dirtbag".<ref name="nizzi">[http://www.joshnizzi.com/TF3.htm Josh Nizzi DOTM concepts.]</ref>
*Several Dread [[Assaulter]]s identical to Hatchet appear in the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|''Dark of the Moon'' video game]]. Likewise, three giant versions of Hatchet with back-mounted guns were present in the opening battle scene of ''Dark of the Moon''.
*At some point during the production of ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]'', there was going to be a Decepticon sharing the same body-type as Hatchet that would appear alongside [[Dreadbot]] and [[Berserker]]. According to [[Josh Nizzi]]'s Instagram account<ref name="tlkdreads">[https://www.instagram.com/p/BZW_tHdjF_g/?taken-by=joshnizzi.art Josh Nizzi's Instagram].</ref>, this guy would have (possibly) been a member of the Dreads.

'''''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==

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#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''.

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===

[[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|Fall of Cybertron]]'' videogame. 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 forth 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''''', 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]]. All figures come with a cardboard backdrop depicting a notable scene from their respective movie. 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 2021's ''Studio Series'' started to introduce "Generation 1" characters to the line; featuring figures based on characters from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', in celebration of the film's 35th anniversary. These figures feature a different set of ID numbers to the "standard" line, with the figures having an "86" in front of their base number starting at the number "01", to better differentiate them from the live-action film characters that the line was originally intended for.

===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.

===''Siege'' (2019–2020)===
{{anchor|Siege}}
{{nav-siege}}
[[File:WFC-Siege-Battle-Master-Blowpipe-Box.jpg|thumb|100px|WFC-S3 Battle Master Blowpipe]]
'''''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–)==
{{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.

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]].

{{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 versions}}'''
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.

{{main|Transformers R.E.D.}}
'''''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 toyline is a [[Walmart]] exclusive in the U.S. and Canada.

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.

The line is split into ''Generations'' (specifically from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy''), ID'd as "PF WFC-" and ''Studio Series'', ID'd as "PF SS-".

Much like TakaraTomy ''Masterpiece'', ''Generations Selects'', and ''[[The Transformers Golden Lagoon|Golden Lagoon]]'' toys, ''Premium Finish'' toys were imported and re-released by Hasbro for online markets, namely Hasbro Pulse.

In the second and third year runs of the [[Walmart]]-exclusive '''''Vintage Beast Wars''''' toyline, online listings for the figures started showing ''Generations'' branding in the titles, establishing them as products under the super-label. As such, their in-house title is: '''''Transformers Generations: Beast Wars Vintage'''''.

While the line of reissues itself was first established in [[2021]], the products listed specifically under the ''Generations'' brand are only the [[2022]] and [[2023]] products.

==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.

'''Nightbird''' is a sword-wielding Terrorcon, known for her haughty demeanor towards less skilled opponents.
{{bigquote|"I'm getting really tired of you [[humans]]."|Nightbird,''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts]]''}}

==Fiction==
===''Rise of the Beasts'' film===
{{Spoiler|Rise of the Beasts|July 9}}
{{Voiceactor|[[Michaela Jaé Rodriguez]] (English)|[[Daniela Calò]] (Italian), [[Maëva Trioux]] (European French), [[Carolina Vera]] (German), [[Clodd Dias]] (Brazilian Portuguese), [[Andrea López]] (Latin American Spanish)}}
Nightbird landed in [[New York City]] in 1994 alongside [[Scourge (ROTB)|Scourge]] and [[Battletrap (ROTB)|Battletrap]] to hunt for the [[Transwarp Key]], under orders from their master, [[Unicron]]. She engaged the [[Autobot]] group of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]] and [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] on Ellis Island, surprising Mirage with her ability to fly using rocket thrusters. The Autobots' lack of effective resistance disappointed her, having hoped they'd be more of a challenge. Her desire for a good fight was almost answered when [[Airazor (ROTB)|Airazor]] arrived, but Scourge ordered their retreat, having gotten the Key and seeing no need to waste time in summoning Unicron. She was present when Scourge mentally communicated with Unicron, and watched when the latter started torturing him for only retrieving one half of the key.

Travelling to Peru, she and the other Terrorcons observed as the Autobots' human allies [[Noah Diaz]] and [[Elena Wallace]] attempted to locate the half of the key hidden underground. They gave chase to Mirage and Optimus up the mountain roads once the humans began fleeing from a [[Freezer]], believing them to be in possession of they key half (in actuality, their search had been fruitless). In the chaos, Scourge fought Optimus, while Nightbird and Battletrap handled the other Autobots. She attempted to run Mirage of the road, but was knocked off the mountain by an avalanche triggered by Arcee and [[Wheeljack (ROTB)|Wheeljack's]] confrontation with Battletrap. After Airazor destroyed the bridge between Optimus Prime and Scourge, breaking up the fight, Nightbird noted that the Autobots were fleeing, only for her leader to inform her they wouldn't get away so easily due the corruption he had inflicted upon Airazor.

She was present when Scourge activated the Transwarp Key, generating the structure to open a portal to summon Unicron. During the attack on the bridge by the combined forces of the Autobots and [[Maximal]]s, she fought to keep them from the Key itself. At one point she swept Noah up and dragged him into the sky, but a hasty spear throw from [[Cheetor (ROTB)|Cheetor]] hit her and forced her to release her captive. She and a horde of Freezers had Noah cornered to the edge of a lava pool, however, preparing to move in for the kill... but that was when Bumblebee was airdropped in by [[Stratosphere]] after his resurrection, firing off a barrage of blasts her way from above that decimated the Freezers backing her up and allowed Noah to rejoin the battle. Angered, she flew straight up at the Autobot scout to attack him, but this proved to be her undoing. Latching onto her airborne form, Bumblebee used her as a robot shield to protect himself from Scourge's blasts; the other Terrorcon leader seemingly uncaring about his subordinate's own life. He then proceeded to rip one of her wings off and jam it into her spark mid-flight, and the resulting explosion reduced her to nothing more than a shower of broken parts, with her swords being the only remnants that remained intact. {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts}}

*Nightbird's promo art on her mainline release features a different control art than the one seen at the top of the page. It is more similar to a CG render, while also sporting the front end of an R34 GT-R instead of the R33 GT-R used in the control art and movie proper.

**''Accessories'': Gun barrel

:During the run of ''[[The Transformers (franchise)|The Transformers]]'' toyline in the mid-80s, Radio Shack (as it was then known) sold an [[exclusive]], Tandy-licensed version of the [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] mold, named "Galactic Man" (though, among the ''Transformers'' [[fandom]], its often referred to by the nickname "Shackwave").

:The figure features four modes; a [[robot mode]], an "Anti-Aircraft Gun" mode, a "Vulcan Base Destroyer" mode, and a "Handheld Laser Gun" {{sic}} mode. Much like [[Hasbro]]'s Shockwave, the toy features lights and sounds that are activated by pulling the gun's trigger. There are two settings for this toy: rapid-fire sound effects and long-beam sound effects—both of which can be changed by flicking a switch. A pulsating light also flashes down the barrel to the rhythm of either of the sound effect settings.

:There are some small similarities between Galactic Man and Shockwave, as both were produced together in [[South Korea]].<ref>[https://tformers.com/transformers-astro-magnum-tracking-down-the-shockwave-mold/9709/news.html "After the Astro Magnum was produced in South Korea, during the Transformers period, production shifted to China where the production cost was cheaper."] - Interview with ToyCo at Tokyo Toy Show in [[2008]].</ref> On the battery covers both have a "Made in Korea" stamp, whereas the original Astro Magnum has a "Made in Japan" stamp. Further, the copyright on the inside of Galactic Man and Shockwave's legs is stamped "ToyCo Trademark [[1983]]"; however, the copyright on Astro Magnum does not include the "1983".

:Contrary to early-fandom belief, Galactic Man is not actually a [[knockoff]] and was fully licensed by [[ToyCo]] (the original owner and distributor of the toy's mold), despite the packaging omitting any form of ToyCo branding.

Carno: /* APOLOGIES! I AM SO SORRY! */ new section

==Previous discussions==
Previous discussions from before I became an admin can be found at [[User talk:Cyberlink420/Archive1|Archive]]. However, please do not edit the Archive page.



Why are you against my merger with those go-bot page if i may be so bold to ask?--[[User:Projectus|Projectus]] ([[User talk:Projectus|talk]]) 20:56, 3 October 2021 (EDT)

== Ok, sorry ==
Can I re-upload it after it fits the standards of this wiki? --[[User:GobotsFanForever|GobotsFanForever]] ([[User talk:GobotsFanForever|talk]]) 20:08, 9 April 2021 (EDT)
:Sure, but you might be better off finding a different image of Whirl. In the one you uploaded, she's just sort of standing there, while all the other images are more dynamic and show her actually doing things. Try to find something more distinct that better conveys what the character is doing in the episode. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 20:39, 9 April 2021 (EDT)

== Hoist Goes Hollywood ==

You reverted my edit saying it was "still a stretch." What I wrote was:

"The Autobot cast for this episode is particularly appropriate. Apart from Hoist, all the Autobots who crash the filming in search of stardom are notably vain attention-seekers. Though this trait is rarely played up with Warpath, his ego regarding his gun and shooting skills is mentioned in his bios, and he appropriately makes his entrance by displaying his sharpshooting skills."

My question is this: How the heck is that a stretch? It notes what was clearly the writer's intention in casting the episode and explains the choice of a character who would seemingly be the odd man out.

I don't do a lot of editing on here, and I genuinely try to do so only when I feel I'm adding something or improving something in accordance with the standards as I understand them, but I've had several edits reverted recently that I had put a good amount of thought into, and the justifications for those reversions have been uniformly unsatisfying and very poorly explained. {{unsigned|Tjfosko}}
:I genuinely don't think the writer put that much thought into it. And unless you have an interview with the writer saying as much, you can't say it was clearly their intention; it was more likely as simple as them being told "here's the toy(s) we want to promote this week, write a story about them". This just feels like adding a note for the sake of adding a note on an overly crowded page. (I personally think a lot of the existing notes don't serve to add much either, so it's not just a you thing.) And please remember to sign your talk page posts. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 23:29, 15 May 2021 (EDT)

::So, you don't think the writer of the episode picked specifically four glory-hounds to crash a movie studio hoping for stardom, but that he instead got a note saying, "We want you to sell Hoist, Tracks, Sunstreaker, Powerglide, and Warpath this week"? Look at Earl Kress's episode credits. "The Immobilizer" is practically the only episode dealing with Ironhide's age (besides a few minor asides) and actually features a rare instance of Trailbreaker being a jokester. "B.O.T.," for all its flaws, plays up Swindle better than any other episode. "Desertion of the Dinobots" doesn't have the same degree of focus, but the episodes he wrote tend to be very strong in their depictions of characters. Even if your scenario of "promote these toys this week" is accurate (which I don't think it is, as the production materials that I've seen make it seem like Hasbro gave broad strokes with the exception of a few instances of "don't use this guy because we aren't releasing him" (Reflector) or "shove this in somewhere because it's a new toy" (Protectobots)), that only makes the cast more noteworthy, as it's an incredibly convenient accident. It seems way, way more likely that the writers, with the exception of the more mercenary jobs like "The Search for Vector Sigma," were given a box of toys and told, "these are your available characters, choose as you wish."

::As for the unsigned comment, my bad. Slipped my mind. Trying to keep up with that. [[User:Tjfosko|Tjfosko]] ([[User talk:Tjfosko|talk]]) 11:51, 17 May 2021 (EDT)

== Just a suggestion ==

Since G1 Optimus Prime and Megatron have an extremely long list of appearances and will likely have even more in the future, can I split their Game appearances into separate pages? --[[User:GobotsFanForever|GobotsFanForever]] ([[User talk:GobotsFanForever|talk]]) 13:36, 16 August 2021 (EDT)
:This has actually already been proposed over at [[Talk:Optimus Prime (G1)#Another split?]] -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 13:43, 16 August 2021 (EDT)

== Arcana ==

Hi. I just edited the Arcana page. However, I can't make the caption link to the page. The link and the caption are separate. Could you edit it so that the caption links to the page, please? {{unsigned|Cybertron1986}} 15:09, 15 September 2021 (EDT)

I suppose I should learn how to do it on practice pages. Thank you.
{{unsigned|Cybertron1986}} 15:14, 15 September 2021 (EDT)

== My mistake ==

Wait really? Oh gosh, my extreme apologies then! I wasn't aware that was a UK English spelling! I saw both Installment and Instalment on the same page and thought it was an error. [[User:BigRobot|BigRobot]] ([[User talk:BigRobot|talk]]) 23:05, 26 September 2021 (EDT)BigRobot

==Delete==
why do you keep deleting my stuff? is it irrelevant? [[User:Tylerwu|Tylerwu]] ([[User talk:Tylerwu|talk]]) 13:27, 8 November 2021 (EST)
:Irrelevant and/or inaccurate. For example, you claimed Doublecrosser said something that was actually said by Bug Bite, and you repeatedly got Rack'n'Ruin's name wrong. Also, you really need to stop trying to remove every instance of profanity; the wiki has always been PG-13, and any words that have been used in official Transformers media like "bitch" and "shit" are okay for use. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 13:40, 8 November 2021 (EST)
:::Noted, but that sounds unprofessional. Also, watch the tone. you are unnecessarily rude. {{unsigned|Tylerwu}}

==Apology==
For your politeness, I would like to formally apologize. I know I was being a jerk and being immature. That happens to me all the time. I'm sorry I did all that to you. Just please remember that not everyone needs to be treated like underlings and so. But in my case, I totally deserved it. So I'm just apologising. Thanks, [[User:Tylerwu|Tylerwu]] ([[User talk:Tylerwu|talk]]) 16:23, 8 November 2021 (EST)
:I genuinely appreciate the apology, but actions ultimately speak louder than words, so I hope you take this to heart and practice better judgment going forward. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 16:35, 8 November 2021 (EST)

==Universal==
Hello, can you keep some of my edits? or at least change them? I feel like the "difference from film" section might be relevant. Also, ironhide and ratchet don't speak. Should they still be credited? [[User:Tylerwu|Tylerwu]] ([[User talk:Tylerwu|talk]]) 19:58, 3 December 2021 (EST)
:It's not really meant to be explicitly based on any of the films, so it's largely unnecessary to note any differences. And as I said before, there's no reason for us to document what happens when the ride breaks because it's not standard procedure, and not everyone is going to have the same experience during a malfunction, so it's impossible to log every possible result. Also, Ratchet and Ironhide appear and speak in the queue for the ride, which the article also covers. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 20:21, 3 December 2021 (EST)

==Play Doh==
Hi, you deleted my stuff about the compound from the spoiler boxes from the WFC trilliogy toys because it was not marketed as playdoh, yet now, there is a new section about playdoh. Even though it IS playdoh, it was never marketed as playdoh. If you choose to keep it, why delete mine? [[User:Tylerwu|Tylerwu]] ([[User talk:Tylerwu|talk]]) 21:45, 13 January 2022 (EST)
:Apart from the fact that I didn't even realize someone had added it back until a few days ago (and was convinced to let it stay in a separate discussion), the current write-up is much more detailed and actually explains why it's mentioned in the Play-Doh article. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 22:21, 13 January 2022 (EST)

== Whirl - Marvel UK - Time Wars ==

You removed my parenthetical regarding Whirl's lack of appearance because you believed it had no bearing on his survival. However, no one knows what happened to Whirl since he never appeared, and that makes his survival ambiguous. The current note is also confusing as written because it implies Whirl appears in Time Wars, but he doesn't. I was trying to add in some clarity to answer a question I'd been trying to get answered for myself, as I looked through the wiki trying to figure out what happened to Whirl or if he'd died in a story that I somehow didn't have in my collection (since my G1 comics collection is the Titan collections, and with the weird way the UK stories were collected I wasn't 100% positive I had all the relevant stories), and it took far more digging than it should have for me to figure it out, and the Time Wars note did cause me actual confusion.[[User:Tjfosko|Tjfosko]] ([[User talk:Tjfosko|talk]]) 12:28, 17 February 2022 (EST)
:I disagree with outright questioning his survival, but I do think it's worth bringing up on his page that he stopped appearing, without us outright saying he's alive or dead. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 12:34, 17 February 2022 (EST)
::I added a note to Whirl's character page to that effect. It was also deleted. Like probably 90% of the edits I make. C'est la vie. And I don't really mean to so much question his survival but to say that there's never any real statement as to what happened to him.[[User:Tjfosko|Tjfosko]] ([[User talk:Tjfosko|talk]]) 12:46, 17 February 2022 (EST)

== Re:Account rename ==

Thanks for the heads up! But there were other reasons why I wanted to ditch my old account, such as it being tied to an email I don't have access to anymore and me only vaguely remembering the password. It's not like I did much on it anyway, I think my most notable contribution was correcting a typo or two. If the staff wants me to use my old account for safe-keeping purposes or something, then I'd be fine with that though. --[[User:AmeliaLH|AmeliaLH]] ([[User talk:AmeliaLH|talk]]) 00:01, 25 February 2022 (EST)
:No worries. This was more just to ask if you would rather use a renamed old account or a fresh account since the rules only permit you to have one. I'll close your old account then. Thanks, and happy editing! -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 00:36, 25 February 2022 (EST)

== "nipping this in the bud" ==

I take it you're just going to block me so you don't have to provide an argument, yeah? [[User:Elita1|Elita1]] ([[User talk:Elita1|talk]]) 23:14, 26 February 2022 (EST)
:I don't have to. As our [[Transformers_Wiki:Policies#Attitude_towards_authority|policy]] states, "he who owns the house, makes the rules". And as all of the admins are of the agreement that white nationalism is bad and have never been afraid to call out shitty people (see: [[Pat Lee]], [[Adam Baldwin]]), I see no reason why the paragraph should be removed. The fact that you joined just to do so indicates your intentions are less than noble. I suggest you drop it, or you will find yourself banned immediately. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 23:19, 26 February 2022 (EST)

== Discord ban appeal ==

Hey, not sure if you are the right person to ask, but over a year ago, I don’t quite recall when, I was (rightfully) banned from the Discord server for my immature and attention seeking behaviour, truthfully I am glad I was banned sooner than later since at that time I probably would’ve gotten myself banned for something much worst,
Now that over a year has passed, and I’ve dealt with a lot of the issues I had with my life and gotten myself in a better place, mentally socially, etc and again I’m into Transformers than ever I wanted to be able to contribute to the Wiki again, and learn how to be more professional about my edits, and I’d like to rejoin the discord server for that purpose, in order to discuss wiki contributions, unlike before when I *only* wanted it as a place to talk and receive attention when I had no one else to talk to in my life, I don’t mean to come off as sappy or anything of the sort, just me asking for a second chance and stating how I intend to be better if given it. (I was Lucas-Magic-Ninja’s on the Discord). [[User:Hexnut17|Hexnut17]] ([[User talk:Hexnut17|talk]]) 00:38, March 19 2022 (EST)
:I've spoken to the admin who issued your ban and they're willing to give you another shot. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 12:36, 19 March 2022 (EDT)

==Rewording==
I wasn’t trying to remove Nick Studios on the EarthSpark page, I was trying to condense the sentence to be the same one that says how it is developed by eOne and Nick. There was another sentence that said Nick Studios is producing, so I wanted to merge the two and make it say that it is being co-produced and developed by them. But the caption still doesn’t make sense to me, since it isn’t for Nick alone anymore and the Nick who is a character designer isn’t really the person who the show is "by." [[User:Taylr2000|Taylr2000]] ([[User talk:Taylr2000|talk]]) 23:28, 12 April 2022 (EDT)
:It's simple wordplay, and it's still a show featuring designs ''by Nick'' Roche ''for Nick''elodeon Studios. And the existing verbiage for the paragraph is fine. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 00:03, 13 April 2022 (EDT)

I understand how the first caption could have been taken as “whining”, with the ellipses and whatnot, but please explain why you consider the second attempt as me “whining”.

[[File:Optimusshatteredsipher.jpg|right|upright=1.4|thumb|[[Maurice LaMarche|REAL HOLOGRAPHIC SIMULATED EVIL LINCOLN IS '''''BAAAAAACK!!!''''']]]]

'''Optimus Prime''' is the tyrannical leader of the evil [[Autobot]]s, a cruel and ambitious despot whose plans fall nothing short of [[Autobot Imperium|universal conquest]]. Long ago, he cheated and backstabbed his way to the top of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]ian society, and used the power afforded by his new position to gather an army and initiate a war against the complacent.

The crucible of war has burned away most of the traits that Optimus once relied upon: where once he coldly plotted and schemed, now he surrounds himself with the corpses of his enemies and would-be usurpers and talks to them as though they still live. Ruthless and utterly unhinged, Prime will gleefully send dozens of Autobots to their deaths if it means gaining the tiniest of advantages, and his deadly outbursts inspire terror in allies and enemies alike. His casual disregard for the lives of his followers means that his powerbase is shaky at best—shaky to the point where multiple Autobots have conspired to remove their leader from the picture. But few of those would-be traitors underestimate just ''how'' stubborn their leader is: if there's something he wants, Optimus Prime will level mountains, extinguish suns, or wade through a sea of Autobot corpses to get his hands on it... and there's nothing he wants more than to keep his power.

The only thing standing in Prime's path to domination is [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]], a noble [[Decepticon]] willing to lead a small band of rebels in a fight for freedom.

Before he was known as Optimus Prime, he is sometimes an archivist known as '''Optronix''', and other times a [[Senate|Senator]] called '''Orion Pax'''.

[[File:Optronixshattered.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|The Dewey Decimal System is a cruel mistress.]]
Long ago, Optronix was a dangerously obsessed librarian who worked in the [[Great Cybertronian Archives]] during the [[Golden Age]]. During his time in the Archives, he sought through the vast store of information for the ultimate truth, the meaning of life. However, as he searched, he came to a dark conclusion: there was none. The only meaningful impact one could leave was their own history, their great deeds being recorded for posterity. Optronix snapped when he realized he was a nobody, but that if he became someone else, he could change that. {{storylink|Coalescence}} Backstabbing his way up the ranks, he soon amassed a following of like-minded Cybertronians who believed in his code of advancement through conflict. Suddenly, his armies attacked, sweeping through cities and killing those who refused to join them. {{storylink|Shattered Glass (issue)|Shattered Glass}} {{storylink|#Toys|BotCon 2008 Optimus Prime profile card}} Among those who joined Prime in the [[Second Cybertronian war (SG)|second Cybertronian war]] was his brother [[Ultra Magnus (SG)|Ultra Magnus]]. {{storylink|Treadshot (SG)#Toys|BotCon 2012 Treadshot profile card}} When the scientist [[Starscream (SG)|Starscream]] turned down Optronix's offer, he ordered Starscream's [[Crystal City]] home to be destroyed in front of him. {{storylink|Starscream (SG)|BotCon 2008 Starscream profile card}} With their spoils, his "Autobots" began arming themselves with more complicated weaponry, but Optronix, now named Optimus Prime, saved the most advanced upgrades for himself. Rumors of a discovery spread that one day he'd discovered knowledge that had driven him mad, and that in place of his cold calculations was now an unhinged mind bent on random, indiscriminate violence, but these were incorrect understandings of why he'd started on his path. He strung up his countless victims along the walls of [[Great Dome|his headquarters]] in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] and began talking to them, asking them mockingly for advice. However, even this may have simply been his own way of making himself even more legendary a figure, albeit in the most monstrous of ways.

But [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]], a young champion from [[Polyhex]], gathered an army to oppose him. Megatron's forces also had a way to counter Optimus Prime's military superiority: the ability to configure their bodies into alternate forms. It did not take long for Optimus Prime to steal this "Decepticon" technology for himself. {{storylink|Shattered Glass (issue)|Shattered Glass}}

[[File:Invasion-MagnusFlashback.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67|Only an evil Optimus Prime would rip off someone's face!]]

At some point [[Ultra Magnus (SG)|Ultra Magnus]] staged a coup. It ended unsuccessfully, with Optimus ripping off Magnus's face and imprisoning him on [[Paradron]]. {{storylink|Invasion (issue)|Invasion}}

When the Decepticons destroyed all but one of the rogue mercenary group named the [[Wreckers]] in the battle of [[Praxus-Delta]], Optimus Prime welcomed their leader, [[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus]], into his ranks. {{storylink|Rodimus (SG)|BotCon 2008 Rodimus profile card}} Increasingly paranoid, Optimus Prime began suspecting his subordinates of treachery. He killed the leader of his elite [[Seeker (SG)|Seeker]] unit, [[Drench (SG)|Drench]], and when he learned of Seeker [[Sideswipe (SG)|Sideswipe]]'s dissatisfaction with his leader's assassination, Prime staged an ambush to kill him. However, not only did Sideswipe narrowly escape and join the Decepticons, {{storylink|Sideswipe (SG)|BotCon 2008 Sideswipe profile card}} one of Optimus's few friends and savior at the [[Torus Heights]] battles, [[Cliffjumper (SG)|another Autobot]], happened to be at the [[Rad Zone|location of the ambush]] and did get killed. Optimus never learned of this though, and assumed Cliffjumper had died in the battle at [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]]. {{storylink|Shattered Glass (issue)|Shattered Glass}} Optimus chose Rodimus in place of Sideswipe and [[Goldbug (SG)|Bumblebee]] to take Drench's place as the Seeker unit's new leader, having him rebuilt into the fearsome Goldbug. {{storylink|Goldbug (SG)|BotCon 2008 Goldbug profile card}}

Optimus began looking elsewhere. He targeted the distant planet Earth for conquest, had several of his Autobots reconfigure their bodies to transform into the machinery native to the planet, and began construction of an ''[[Ark (SG)|Ark]]''. However, he requested so much weaponry to be built onto the starship that the integrity of the launching platform was in question. He dismissed these concerns.

[[File:Optimusshatteredhallway.jpg|left|upright=1.67|thumb|Optimus got a [[Skyquake (SG)|Skyquake]] in his collection?? Wow! Yeah, the plastic [[Gold Plastic Syndrome|does that]].]]

Close to the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s completion, [[Cliffjumper (SG)|Cliffjumper]] appeared to return from the dead. At first, he was readily welcomed back into their ranks, but they quickly learned that he was not their Cliffjumper at all, but a [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper doppelganger]]. Prime shot him and ordered his body dumped in the [[Rad Zone]]. This backfired, as Cliffjumper was recruited by the Decepticons, and during a subsequent full-scale Decepticon attack, his [[glass gas]] weaponry was used in an attack on the ''Ark'' launching platform. Prime's plans to conquer Earth were stopped for the moment. {{storylink|Shattered Glass (issue)|Shattered Glass}}

After a later Autobot ambush at the recently rediscovered [[Arch-Ayr]] fuel dump, the Cliffjumper doppelgänger angrily rushed Optimus Prime, followed by the combined forces of the [[Mayhem Suppression Squad]]. Despite it all, Optimus Prime kept on his feet, though his rage was growing with every blow. No one, however, was expecting the sudden arrival of an army of [[Dinobot (SG)|Dinobot]]s led by the exiled mad scientist, [[Wheeljack (SG)|Wheeljack]]. Optimus Prime ordered the rampaging Dinobots to destroy the Decepticons, but instead the beasts attacked each other. During the chaos, both sides withdrew.

Optimus Prime was furious at the Autobots' failure. At [[Side Burn (SG)|Side Burn]]'s clever suggestion, Prime ordered Wheeljack be put in charge of rebuilding the ''Ark'', a task that the mad scientist felt was beneath him. Also, he demanded that the Dinobots be hunted down and gathered for the Autobots' purposes.

Blurr and Rodimus returned triumphantly with eight Dinobots, though Rodimus had lost his hand in the process. Optimus Prime stood over Rodimus as he awoke from [[Ratchet (SG)|Ratchet]]'s table: the traitorous Seeker now had a buzzsaw in place of where his hand used to be. A suitable punishment! Prime told Rodimus he should be grateful he let him live at all. Perhaps he should use the saw to remove that [[facial hair|ridiculous thing]] from his face? Though Blurr and Rodimus thought Grimlock had died during their search for the Dinobots, sure enough, Grimlock appeared, alive and strangely very intelligent, within their base. Optimus Prime was about to punish Grimlock as well, but Grimlock pointed out a fuel system error in the blueprints of the ''Ark''. The evil Autobot leader let the Dinobot leader go, but demanded someone be brought to him he could destroy. {{storylink|Dungeons & Dinobots}}

When Optimus Prime ordered the ''Ark'' fixed, he knew that the Decepticons would try to follow the Autobots into space. [[Jazz (SG)|Jazz]] mentioned that [[Ricochet (SG)|Ricochet]] had taken care of the Decepticons. Optimus's eyes filled with rage as he learned that Ricochet had captured Megatron. Prime immediately left to reprimand Ricochet for stealing the honor of destroying Megatron. Upon his arrival at the [[Temple of Knowledge]], Optimus and Ricochet were attacked by a group of Decepticon [[Micromaster]]s, allowing Megatron to escape. After a few turnabouts, Megatron won the day. The ''Ark'' launched without Optimus Prime (due to Rodimus' treachery), so Prime ordered a retreat. Once back at the launch site, he learned from Blurr that Rodimus had thrown the Autobots loyal to Prime off the ship. Optimus Prime ordered Ricochet to the [[Agonizing Rehabilitation Chamber]]s for his impudent plan of capturing Megatron. He also promised that Blurr had failed him for the last time. {{storylink|Do Over}}

In one of [[Aquarius (SG)|Aquarius]]'s explanatory flashbacks to [[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]], [[Topspin (Classics)|Topspin]], and [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]], Optimus Prime asked [[Ironhide (SG)|Ironhide]] how progress was coming on [[Omega Doom]]. He was pleased to hear that it was going well, and gloated that once the behemoth was finished, the galaxy would be his for the taking.

[[File:TakingOutRemotePatrol6 Reunification5.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.67|I said, [[Frenzy (SG)|Rumble]] [[FIRRIB|is]] [[Eject (G1)|blue!]]]]
In the present day, Rodimus promised that his assassins would take down Optimus Prime at the same time [[Alpha Trion (SG)|Alpha Trion]]'s agents took down Megatron, thus paving the way for their own conquering. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 3}}

Or not.

After the assassination of Megatron, (of which Optimus learned about second-hand from ''[[Around Cybertron]]'') {{storylink|Around Cybertron issue 6|Around Cybertron #6}} [[Hound (SG)|Hound]] and [[Remote Patrol Six]] made their move, surrounding Optimus Prime and Ricochet as they discussed Megatron's death, intending to kill Optimus and install Rodimus in his place as Prime. Hound's rally cries failed to impress Optimus, and the Autobot leader proceeded to use Ricochet as a living shield against a blast from [[Warpath (SG)|Warpath's]] chest-mounted cannon, before crushing [[Kup (SG)|Kup]]'s head with his bare hands, destroying Warpath's chest cannon, taking out Hound by flinging Warpath into him, and cannon-blasting [[Camshaft (SG)|Camshaft]] in the head.

However, the battle was not over yet, as [[Alpha Trion (SG)|Alpha Trion]], [[Sky Lynx (SG)|Sky Lynx]], and [[Nightscream (BM)|Nightscream]] had arrived to kill Optimus themselves. However, Prime introduced the trio to a completed [[Omega Doom]], who reduced Alpha Trion to a distant smear on the ground, before going off to destroy the Decepticons while Optimus dealt with Sky Lynx and Nightscream. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 5}} {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 1}}

Optimus Prime was destroyed and left to die during an important battle in [[Mirtonian constellation|Sector 17 of the Mirtonian Quadrant]]. After Prime was abandoned by his troops, he dragged himself into a nearby [[CR chamber]], and with the help of a local tech, he was upgraded into a new body with a sword made out of a mysterious "[[G-Metal]]". Optimus Prime returned to [[Polyhex]] and murdered many of those who had abandoned him. {{storylink|#Toys|BotCon 2012 Optimus Prime profile card}}

[[File:AnotherLight-novaprime.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|So if this is the opposite universe, would he be voiced by William Shatner?]]

Some time after Prime returned, his brother Ultra Magnus and the [[Junkion (species)#Shattered Glass|Junkion]]s were sprung from the prison planet of Paradron by Wheeljack and [[Tracks (SG)|Tracks]]. Optimus Prime watched over a viewscreen as Magnus killed several of his most loyal warriors. After Magnus and his new army escaped via the [[Space bridge|stellar spanner]] into an alternate universe, Optimus Prime activated a distress beacon, knowing that Magnus's rival [[Treadshot (SG)|Treadshot]] would do his dirty work for him. {{storylink|Invasion (issue)|Invasion}}

In [[2015]], Prime mounted an all-out assault on [[Decepticon City (SG)|Decepticon City]]. Before long, Galvatron arrived from Cybertron, and the two leaders wound up in a one-on-one confrontation. Optimus quickly gained the upper hand, but scheming interference by Rodimus led to the Autobot leader taking a serious gunshot wound. {{storylink|Memory's Splinter}} With the tide turned, the Autobots retreated to Sky Lynx, with [[Blaster (SG)|Blaster]] carrying the injured Optimus aboard. {{storylink|Restoration}}

En route to Cybertron, Sky Lynx announced that he had insufficient power to carry all his passengers there, and Optimus was among those who Rodimus dumped out. Floating through space, Prime found himself in the presence of [[Unicron/Shattered Glass|Unicron]]. {{storylink|Familiar Reflections}} However, the fragment of Unicron he encountered was his rare good side, so Unicron restored Prime's sanity and rebuilt him into Nova Prime as a messenger of justice. With [[Brawn (SG)|X-Brawn]], [[Prowl (SG)|Checkpoint]], and the Autotroopers serving as his [[Knights of Unicron (SG)|Knights of Unicron]], Nova Prime returned to Cybertron to end the threat of the evil Autobots. He defeated Rodimus in combat and cast him down into the depths of Cybertron. {{storylink|Out of the One, Many}}

Unfortunately, while Nova Prime's forces were rounding up the other Autobots, Unicron's opposite number [[Primus/Shattered Glass|Primus]] chose to manifest himself. The deity-turned-planet reverted to his robot mode, and intended to eliminate the infestation of other-dimensional vermin from his plane, including the positive universe's planet Earth. Surprisingly, Earth transformed into a Light God named [[Gaea]], empowered by the [[Rarified Energon]] of that world as her lifeblood. As the dark Primus and Gaea battled, Nova Prime brought his troops within range and fired as one at Primus's eye, blinding him long enough for Gaea to defeat him.

[[File:AnotherLight-happyending.jpg|thumb|upright=2]]

Gaea reverted into her planet mode, now existing as a mechanical world, and replaced Primus as the Cybertron of that reality. As a council of governors formed to oversee the united Cybertronians of two worlds, Nova Prime and his Knights served as guardians of the rulers. His insanity finally quelled, Nova Prime was at peace and found his new world... beautiful. {{storylink|The Future Buried...}}

At some unspecified point in time, a team of Autobots somehow under the command of both [[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus Prime]] and Optimus Prime fought [[Thundercracker (SG)|Thundercracker]] and [[Ravage (SG)|Ravage]] in the Transformers' greatest battle on Earth, "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (SG)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]". According to Ravage, anyway. {{storylink|Recordicons issue 3|Recordicons #3}}

===IDW ''Shattered Glass'' continuity===

[[File:ShatteredGlass2-OrionPax.JPG|thumb|right|250px|I hope nothing bad happens to his left window after that.]]

In the years before the Great War, Orion Pax was a member of the Cybertronian [[Senate]]. Although Orion claimed that he merely sought to bring order to a disorganized and chaotic Cybertron, and even maintained a nominal friendship with the miner turned civil rights advocate [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]], this affable facade concealed his authoritarian ambitions and his insatiable lust for power. Orion recruited other Cybertronians who shared his goals, among them the law clerk [[Ultra Magnus (SG)|Ultra Magnus]], whose expertise Orion used to keep his activities legal until the time was right. As a reward for Magnus' service, Orion assigned him command of an enforcer squad that would be "capable of bringing true order to Cybertron". After the squad branded themselves as the "[[Wreckers]]", Pax sent them to launch a terrorist attack on the Senate, ordering them to abduct senator [[Shockwave (SG)|Shockwave]] and subject him to the brain-damaging [[empurata]] procedure. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 2|Shattered Glass #2}} {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 1|Shattered Glass II #1}}

Controlling the Senate was not enough for Orion. To truly succeed in his power grab, however, Orion needed an advantage no one else on Cybertron could hope to match: when [[Jetfire (SG)|Jetfire]] and [[Starscream (SG)|Starscream]] visited the Senate to secure funding for their research on Cybertron's [[Titan (group)|Titan]]s, Orion immediately took an interest in their proposal to excavate and reawaken [[Metroplex (SG)|Metroplex]], the Titan they'd partly unearthed near [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. Although Jetfire took an interest in the proposal, Starscream, unsure whether they could trust their would-be benefactor turned down the offer. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 3|Shattered Glass #3}} Later that day, Orion pulled some strings to have Megatron released from prison after his latest rally turned violent and ended with his arrest. Orion's demands that Megatron stop his protests sparked a final argument between the pair, which escalated into physical violence and, eventually, Megatron shattering Orion's windshield and declaring that their friendship was over for good. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 2|Shattered Glass #2}}

[[File:ShatteredGlass2-autobotstriumphant.jpg|thumb|left|250px|...And we'll make America great again!]]

At some point afterwards, Jetfire, worried about the day when their funding finally ran dry, went behind Starscream's back to take Orion up on his offer. However, Starscream had secretly tailed Jetfire to the meeting with Orion's inner cadre; when Pax overheard the noise, he had [[Goldbug (SG)|Bumblebee]] and [[Prowl (SG)|Prowl]] capture Starscream and bring him before the group. Starscream fled before the Autobot leader could execute him, but as a result Jetfire now permanently stood with the Autobots. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 3|Shattered Glass #3}}

Subsequent events are unclear; some point after this series of events, Orion took on the name "Optimus Prime", overthrew the Senate, and plunged the planet into global war against Megatron's Decepticons. Eventually, he and his followers left Cybertron entirely and travelled to [[Earth]] with the intent of plundering its supplies of [[Rarified Energon]]. Megatron pursued them off-planet, while other Decepticons arrived later to help defend Earth, and the battles between the two factions grew increasingly destructive. Finally, with the Earth in ruins and on the cusp of an unwinnable battle against their foes, Megatron felt that there was no other way to keep the Decepticons alive other than sacrificing himself and buying time for Starscream to take the remaining Decepticons offworld and into hiding. After a brief battle, Optimus triumphed, beat Megatron to the brink of death, and went on to pillage the Earth before returning to Cybertron. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 2|Shattered Glass #2}}

[[File:ShatteredGlass4-Goldbugvsoptimus.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Insert ''Ren & Stimpy'' joke here.]]

On the way back to Cybertron, Optimus granted [[Ratchet (SG)|Ratchet]] permission to use a spare [[protoform]] to revive the fallen Bumblebee. Bumblebee returned as the more powerful "[[Goldbug (SG)|Goldbug]]", but was disappointed to learn that Prime had only sanctioned the procedure because they had material to spare, not out of any kind of affection for his lieutenant. With the Decepticons scattered and on the run, the Autobots set about rebuilding Iacon. However, when Goldbug warned Optimus that Prowl was planning a coup, Optimus arrogantly informed him that he could deal with whatever Goldbug was planning. When Goldbug pushed the issue, Optimus savagely beat the little Autobot as a reminder as to who was in charge. Unsurprisingly, Goldbug fell in with Prowl instead, who sent Goldbug to assassinate Prime on his new throne in Iacon, which he had renamed "Pax" in honour of his former identity. Goldbug fought hard, but was ultimately unable to deliver the killing blow against the much larger Autobot and retreated. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 4|Shattered Glass #4}}

By the present day, Cybertron had balkanized into three distinct, feuding fiefdoms, each ruled by one of the three Autobot warlords. Optimus Prime maintained control of Pax, but the treacherous terrain of the [[Chrome Ridge]] prevented him from expanding his territory to the [[Static Zone]] which divided his territory from Goldbug's capital of [[Kaon (polity)|Gold City]]. The freelance [[bodyscrapper]] [[Blurr (SG)|Blurr]] occasionally worked for Optimus. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 1|Shattered Glass #1}} After Megatron retook Gold City and deposed Goldbug, [[Ultra Magnus (SG)|Ultra Magnus]] told his spy [[Wheeljack (SG)|Wheeljack]] that Optimus had plans for [[Starscream (SG)|Starscream]]'s disembodied spark, which held the secret of how to rouse the Titans from their slumber. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 5|Shattered Glass #5}}

Ultra Magnus later came before a visibly bored Optimus Prime to inform him of the danger about Metroplex rising, the Prime only rising from his throne to put [[Jazz (SG)|Jazz]] in his place. Though the Wreckers initially withdrew, Magnus soon returned to the throne room, having finally snapped and given in to his lust for power. Though Optimus initially held the advantage, Magnus managed to disable his right arm, allowing the Wrecker leader to overpower the Prime and claim his throne. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 1|Shattered Glass II #1}}

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. Having his leg cut off and his [[voice box]] disabled, Optimus was left to impotently scream, a state in which he was found by [[Soundwave (SG)|Soundwave]] and [[Wheeljack (SG)|Slicer]]. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 5|Shattered Glass II #5}}

**''Accessories'': Aero-fairing "ion blaster", smokestack rifle

:''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]''/''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' Optimus Prime is a purple, gray, and black [[redeco]] of heroic ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]], transforming into a semi cab of undetermined, probably made-up model. In robot mode, his aero fairing transforms into a large ion blaster, and his smokestacks transform into a smaller blaster. Additionally, both can combine together to form a back-mounted shoulder weapon. The left side of the wind vane has the tampograph marking which writes "''Til all are gone!''". Undocumented in the instructions, Optimus can also use the wind vane as a shield, if one of his fists is folded down.

: Optimus Prime is only available as part of a set of six toys, along with [[Jazz (SG)#Toys|Autobot Jazz]], [[Grimlock (SG)#Toys|Grimlock]], [[Goldbug (SG)#Toys|Goldbug]], [[Razorclaw (SG)#Toys|Razorclaw]], and [[Starscream (SG)#Toys|Starscream]].

A large Autobot [[insignia]] adorns the hood; along one side of the hood is inscribed "I shall stand...", with the other side reading "... the rest shall fall". He features a rub sign on his roof, and has a (non-detachable) matrix gimmick in robot mode formed by a relief pattern on the inside of the cab's side windows, which is visible through the windshield/chest in robot mode. He also comes with a sword that he can wield with both hands, and is folded up and stored between his legs in truck mode, forming the fifth wheel.

**''Accessories'': [[Ion blaster#MP10|Ion blaster]], [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Masterpiece 2|Matrix of Leadership]], [[Energon-axe#mp10|energon-axe]], trailer/[[Combat Deck (SG)|Combat Deck]]

:After several [[knockoff]]s and [[IP infringement|unofficial]] releases, "Shattered Glass Optimus Prime" was finally released as an official Hasbro Asia exclusive under the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' line. As a redeco of ''Masterpiece'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10|MP-10 Convoy]], he transforms into a Freightliner FL86, though the back half is much larger and robot-leggier in proportion (so much that a ladder is on each side). Although not easily breakable, care must be taken for posing the index fingers; extending the finger even far would cause it to pop off.

:Optimus Prime also comes with a hand-held ion blaster which can collapse and store inside a compartment on his back in either mode, as well as an energon-axe that slips over Optimus Prime's right hand. He also lacks the [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#Masterpiece|Spike Witwicky]] and [[Roller (G1)#Masterpiece|Roller]] figures. Shattered Glass Optimus Prime also comes with his own Combat Deck and [[die-cast]] Matrix of Leadership, the latter of which remains the same colors as the original MP-10 Convoy.

:The packaging design very closely resembles then-concurrent ''Generations''-branded ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'', featuring numerous elements otherwise unique to ''Platinum Edition'' packaging, except the title "Platinum Edition" is replaced by "Shattered Glass". Given that Hasbro never used the ID number MP-09 within its ''Generations Masterpiece'' range of MP-01 to MP-10, and that Shattered Glass Optimus Prime was released between [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Masterpiece 2|MP-08]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Masterpiece|MP-10]], it is possible MP-09 was intended to be his.

:A ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' add-on to ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'', Shattered Glass Optimus Prime is a redeco of ''Earthrise'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Optimus Prime]] without [[Combat Deck (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|his trailer]]. He features a color scheme inspired by his ''Masterpiece'' toy, complete with a cracked window. Optimus Prime is Voyager Class-sized mold with the front of the head and legs, knee flaps, and various inner parts reused from ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Optimus Prime]]. This also means that, like the ''Siege'' toy, the truck mode is unusually small for a Voyager figure.

Interestingly, his rear wheels are borrowed from ''Studio Series'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS32|32]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS44|44 Optimus Prime]]. Optimus Prime features a hinge joint in each of his knuckles but without the flip-out post hole mechanism, instead of having it facilitated by the shape of his palm and thumb. Interestingly, the placement of his front wheels in robot mode evokes the [[Studio OX]] version of his character model (though significantly larger compared to the artwork). Optimus also has molded drilled-rotor brake discs, a surprising detail for a mainline ''Transformers'' figure.

:As the front grill/wheel piece is connected with a c-clip, removing it allows the waist to turn without being hindered. Whether by coincidence or not, the Energon Strikeshield from the ''Siege'' Voyager Class Optimus Prime figure can attach onto the forearm (if the hands are tucked away) with the tabs on the axe's hinged handle, though it looks better on the left side.

:He is bundled with [[Ratchet (SG)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Shattered Glass Ratchet]], and was revealed on the [[September 8]] [https://www.instagram.com/p/CE4pc4OgZb6/ TransformersTuesday]. Much like most 2020 ''Selects'' product, the toy is only branded as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' and not ''Earthrise''.

:This figure was later repurposed as [[Purple Wicked Convoy#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Purple Wicked Convoy]] by "[[Generations Selects Special Comic Finale Part 2]]".

You can always count on Darkwing to attempt to make a bad situation worse for everyone involved, and to complain about it all loudly while he's at it.

===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
{{noteukonly}}
[[File:Dreadwinddarkwingpeoplepower.jpg|left|upright=1.2|thumb|It's guy love between two guys.]]
Darkwing and [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] were Decepticon mercenaries, affiliated with no army or unit full-time. For their own reasons, however, they were interested in finding the location of [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] and his crew of Decepticon warriors. Tracking the group to the planet [[Nebulos]], Darkwing demanded the Nebulans give them the information on Scorponok's whereabouts. When they refused, Darkwing and Dreadwind began a campaign of terror on the planet that only stopped due to precautions the Nebulans had taken to poison their fuel supplies, a measure of foresight to prevent Transformers from returning to their world after the last war. Darkwing and Dreadwind froze up, becoming little more than a curiosity and tourist attraction in an open square.

Their luck changed thanks to a jealous and vindictive scientist named [[Hi-Test (G1)|Hi-Test]], who had worked on the fuel-tainting process but received none of the glory. Working with a thief named [[Throttle (G1)|Throttle]], Hi-Test stole information from his former boss [[Hi-Q]], and used it to create a new form of bio-mechanical engineering called the [[Powermaster]] Process, which would cybernetically enable him and Throttle to [[Binary bonding|binary bond]] with the Decepticons, becoming their engines to restore their ability to move and intake energy. Reaching an agreement with the Nebulans, Darkwing agreed to become binary bonded to Throttle, and the new Decepticon Powermasters began ransacking Nebulos once again. Now, however, many of their heists involved busting into restaurants and food courts so their Nebulan partners could gorge themselves, restocking their energy supplies and continuing to fuel their larger partners. Their antics were eventually interrupted when a group of Autobots arrived on Nebulos. Darkwing and Dreadwind were threatening the Council of Peers when [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Goldbug]], [[Getaway]], [[Joyride (G1)|Joyride]] and [[Slapdash (G1)|Slapdash]] charged them. Though the Decepticons held their own, Darkwing called for a retreat rather than face the enemy's superior numbers.

Darkwing and his allies went on to hassle the Council of Peers once more, this time to obtain the Autobots' location. By this time however, the Autobots had underwent the Powermaster binary bonding procedure with Hi-Q and his staff. Atop of this, the Decepticons had to contend with a reborn and upgraded [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]! Caught unawares by their enemies' power, Darkwing, Dreadwind and their partners were soundly defeated. It was decreed then that Hi-Test and Throttle were to be banished from Nebulos, and the pair blasted off-planet within Darkwing and Dreadwind's combined form, [[Dreadwing (G1)|Dreadwing]]. {{storylink|People Power!}} ''These events were observed by the [[time travel]]ling [[Dicet Alpha-zero]].'' {{storylink|The Quest!}}

Darkwing, Dreadwind, and their Powermaster partners eventually found themselves working for the [[Mecannibal]]s at [[Grand Central Space Station]], wrangling not only clients, but robots for the Mecannibals to devour. They discovered that two of their clients, [[Landmine (G1)|Landmine]] and [[Cloudburst]], were actually robots disguised as humans, and turned them in to their hungry bosses. {{storylink|Guess Who the Mecannibals Are Having for Dinner?}} The Autobots-in-disguise made a savory deal with the Mecannibals, and so Darkwing and Dreadwind followed them to [[Femax]]. In the process, however, they were not only beaten up by [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], but Hi-Test and Throttle's ship was discovered to be Darkwing and Dreadwind, robots themselves. Cloudburst and Landmine snitched, and the Powermasters found themselves on the run from their former bosses. {{storylink|Recipe for Disaster!}}

''At some point, the pair ended up on [[Earth]], working for [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. Darkwing and Dreadwind served, in their combined form, as Throttle's getaway vehicle after the Nebulan stole an Autobot-made power cell. In its flight from the crime scene, the Dreadwing was shot down, and sent heading for the ocean. Though Dreadwind pleaded with Darkwing to disengage so that he wouldn't be taken down along with the latter, the pair found their combination mechanism fused, and so both wound up plunging into the drink. They remained nonoperational on the ocean floor while the Autobots retrieved their loot.'' {{storylink|Dreadwing Down!}}

''On Scorponok's orders, Darkwing and Dreadwind attacked [[Alternate Reality, Inc.]], where Optimus Prime had left behind a [[floppy disk]] containing a copy of his mind. They found the facility being guarded by [[Getaway]], [[Slapdash (G1)|Slapdash]], and [[Joyride (G1)|Joyride]]. Dreadwind kept them busy with strafing runs while Darkwing made his way inside. Throttle found the disk post-haste, but on his way out, he and Darkwing were met by Getaway and [[Rev]], who had managed to slip past Dreadwind. Getaway got a shot off with his [[plasma-shell shotgun]], badly injuring Darkwing's leg. Retaliating with his [[electro-kinetic blaster]]s, Darkwing disarmed his opponent. With his opponent weaponless, Darkwing turned to the scuffle between their respective Nebulan partners. Forcing Rev to stand down at gun-point, the Decepticons resumed their exit. Though Darkwing's injury made it difficult for him to transform, he managed the effort, and reconvened with Dreadwind to combine into their Dreadwing form. Though Getaway caught back up to the Decepticons, his efforts only resulted in his hand getting stuck in their combination joint. Dreadwing blasted off, with the hapless Autobot getting tugged along for the ride.''

''After Getaway was stashed in a holding cell, Darkwing and Dreadwind were sent out by Scorponok once more. This time, they were carrying a smart missile that their leader had programmed to track Optimus wherever he went. After launching the payload, equipped with a camera so the Decepticons could witness Optimus's demise, the duo doubled back to base, hoping to make it back in time for the show. It wound up never coming about, as Getaway managed to escape and reprogram the missile into a dud.'' {{storylink|Prime Bomb!}}

[[File:Dreadwinddarkwingunicron.jpg|upright=0.9|thumb|And when I say, "I love you Dread," it's not what it implies.]]
Returning to Cybertron, they took a job working for deposed Decepticon leader [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], who hired them to retrieve a special cargo from Earth: the deactivated body of [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]]. ''En-route to Earth, the Powermaster duo crossed paths with an Autobot shuttle and decided to shoot it down for sport, managing to do so after a chase over the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]'s surface. Believing that bit of fun to be done with, they then headed down planet-side, unaware that the Autobots had managed to ditch their ship at the last moment, and were now covertly following them. Upon arriving in southern [[Peru]], Darkwing and his allies found that Starscream was NOT so deactivated after all: his [[zombie]] body stalked the Earth, somehow animated past death by the remainder of the Underbase's energies. After the Decepticons were trounced by the zombie, their Autobot pursuers caught up to them, and were themselves attacked by Starscream. This distraction allowed for Hi-Test and Throttle to link up with their larger partners, re-energizing them into working condition. The Nebulans then managed to siphon the Underbase power directly from Starscream's corpse, causing him to crupple down into a heap. Before the Autobots could properly react to the situation, Darkwing and Dreadwind gathered up Starscream's parts, and flew off to meet with their employer.'' {{storylink|Race with the Devil}} The corpse was delivered to Megatron on Cybertron, who had recently abducted the Autobot medical officer Ratchet to exhort him into rebuilding Starscream using Pretender technology. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}} Megatron was impressed enough to offer Dreadwind and Darkwing full-time positions working for him, which they gratefully accepted as they weren't entirely sure that they had lost their Mecannibal pursuers. {{storylink|All the Familiar Faces!}} Darkwing and Dreadwind were soon put to task, helping the Sports Car Patrol deal with [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]], [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]], and [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Jazz]], recently revived as [[Pretender]]s by Ratchet under Megatron's nose. The battle spread outside Megatron's base, moments before the headquarters detonated with Ratchet and Megatron still inside. With Megatron seemingly deceased, Darkwing and Dreadwind found themselves out of work again. {{storylink|Skin Deep}}

''The two wandered rather aimlessly after that. They apparently spent quite a bit of time over-energizing at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] while complaining about their lot in life. Unbeknownst to the pair, a couple of Mecannibals had managed to track them down. Blissfully unaware of what was going on around them due to their inebriation, Darkwind and Dreadwind were rescued by Quickswitch, who used his tunneling mode to bury the Mecannibals alive deep underground.'' {{storylink|Out to Lunch!}} ''Subsequently Darkwing and Dreadwind attended the [[1989]] [[Transformer]]s' [[Christmas]] party where they monopolised the sofa, much to the annoyance of [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] and [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]].'' {{storylink|:File:MarvelUK-250.jpg|''The Transformers'' #250 cover}}

When [[Primus]] gathered all his children to do battle with Unicron on Cybertron, Darkwing marked this solemn occasion by guffawing loudly at something Dreadwind was telling him and thus pissing off several Autobots. {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}} Despite this frivolity, when the battle began Darkwing and Dreadwind were front and center. They joined the Autobots [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]] and [[Cloudburst]] in taking the fight right into Unicron's face, and Darkwing was quite eager to bash him up. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}} After the planet-eater was destroyed, Darkwing was among those who found Optimus's ruined form on the battlefield, still clinging to life despite being at ground zero when Unicron detonated. Prime named his successor, [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] before finally expiring. {{storylink|Still Life!}}

But the Transformers' troubles were far from over, even after Unicron's demise. With Primus's consciousness sundered during the apocalyptic battle, Cybertron could no longer hold itself together, and the planet slowly began ripping itself apart. On his way to an "emergency meeting" alongside Dreadwind, Darkwing complained how it was typical that their lives seemed to be a never-ending series of misfortunes. Upset that he couldn't vent his frustration towards anyone directly responsible for his current predicament, Darkwing decided that that Autobots were to blame. Thus, Darkwing and Dreadwind joined up with the Decepticons conspirators operating under [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s command, and departed the planet in search of new worlds to conquer. The Autobots were left behind, their ships sabotaged so that they would be unable to escape Cybertron's destruction as the Decepticons had. {{storylink|Exodus!}} Darkwing looked on while Bludgeon randomly chose what world the Decepticons would wage war upon next, selecting [[Klo]] by stabbing his sword on a galactic map. {{storylink|A Savage Circle}} Darkwing and Dreadwind combined into their Dreadwing from to partake in the carnage, {{storylink|The Last Autobot?}} and were responsible for killing off their old sparring partner, [[Getaway]], in this form. Neither were seen for the rest of the battle, but they presumably went into exile with the rest of the Decepticons after the return of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] turned the tide on that planet. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}

====''Transformers Comic-Magazin''====
Darkwing was present when Megatron made peaceful gestures to Humanity in [[New York City]]. Darkwing and Dreadwind delivered a "statue" of [[Snaptrap (G1)|Snaptrap]] as a gift to the city. Unsurprisingly, once Humanity was off-guard, the Decepticons struck, and the Autobots barely stopped them. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 4#Transformers in Action: The Troy Principle|The Troy Principle}} Those events were recorded on a videotape that was later found and watched by Autobots on Cybertron after a [[City of Fear!|nuclear disaster]] in [[Kalis]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 21|In Memory of Earth}}

In [[1973]], {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 17|Powermaster Optimus Prime - A Robot, a Hero}} Darkwing, [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]], and Dreadwind were hiding in an airbase in Nevada, before revealing their liquid crystal Decepticon insignia and flying off. They then used the distraction of a hijacked tanker to attack oil fields and refineries. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 6|A Big Day for Powermaster Optimus Prime}} Those events would later be observed via log recording by Autobots in the year [[2008]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 17|Powermaster Optimus Prime - A Robot, a Hero}}

When Bludgeon orchestrated a siege on planet Earth to antagonize Optimus Prime out into the open, Darkwing operated as the Decepticons' air support. {{storylink|Devices and Desires!

Darkwing made his debut with the new body by obliterating the inoffensive [[Rheanimum]] miners of [[Tykos]]. {{storylink|New Dawn}}

====''Classics''====
{{noteclassics}}
After the Decepticons' defeat on Klo, Darkwing and Dreadwind retreated with Bludgeon to the corners of the galaxy, where the Decepticons regrouped. Fifteen years later, both had reverse-engineered the Powermaster process on their bodies, and separated from Hi-Test and Throttle. Dreadwind had left Darkwing behind to join [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]]'s team, and Dreadwind complained about it constantly. {{storylink|Games of Deception}}

Darkwing remained at Bludgeon's command, and was one of his top aides in preparing for a counter-strike from the recently reactivated Megatron. At Darkwing's suggestion, Bludgeon hired the best of the techno-guilds to reinforce their computer systems with firewalls and cyber-traps to protect their tactical layouts. And yet, Bludgeon's battle-plans were still compromised. Darkwing had uncovered a traitor among Bludgeon's crew. By backtracking the electronic imprint of the Decepticon who transmitted the information to Megatron, Darkwing fingered [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Grrr]] of the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] as the culprit. Bludgeon and the [[Seacon (G1)|Seacons]] confronted Hun-Grrr and, after a brief but brutal brawl between [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] and [[Piranacon (G1)|Piranacon]], Hun-Grrr was taken off-line. The traitor defeated.

Then the Seacons killed Bludgeon and surrendered the faction to Megatron. Given Darkwing's involvement in identifying the problem and branding the so-called traitor, it is unknown if he was also in on the Seacons' betrayal. {{storylink|At Fight's End}}

====''Regeneration One''====

More than twenty-one years after the final conflict between the Autobots and the Decepticons, Darkwing and Dreadwind teamed up with [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] after observing the effect of his [[Gene Key]] on Cybertron's Autobots. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Three}} They joined the corrupted Headmasters, [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] and [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]], in hunting down Grimlock, but were caught in a flash-bomb effect when Grimlock unleashed the nucleon-augmented [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] on them. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Four}}

When [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] was forced to turn himself over to the Decepticon in exchange for their prisoner [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]], Darkwing and Dreadwind acted as armed escorts bringing Prime before [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. {{storylink|Autobot Hostage}}

A few hundred years ago, Darkwing and Dreadwind were part of the last "big push" for control of Cybertron. Shortly after the Battle of [[Thunderhead Pass]], they were led into battle by [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] and the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blaster}}

Years later, Darkwing was commander of the Decepticon [[Infiltration protocol|Infiltration Unit]] on [[Nebulos]], alongside his partner Dreadwind, [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]], [[Skullcruncher (G1)|Skullcruncher]], [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]], [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]] and [[Roadgrabber]]. Their infiltration was apparently still in the early stages when the rogue Decepticon juggernaut known as [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] came crashing down on the planet. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 2|Stormbringer #2}} Darkwing sent most of his troops into battle, knowing the show of resistance was futile but necessary to convince Megatron later that they fought for their territory. Still, he and Dreadwind remained and participated in the fight, but quickly departed after the last of their comrades was deactivated. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 3|Stormbringer #3}}

A few years later, after Megatron was defeated on Earth, Dreadwind and Darkwing were among the Decepticons who had heard the (self-proclaimed) Decepticon leader [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]]'s rallying call and gathered on a desolate asteroid that was now their new headquarters. However, with the lack of resources, poor morale, and Starscream's weak leadership, the Decepticons largely collapsed into anarchy and resorted to cannibalism with not enough energon to go around. Darkwing apparently got sick of this and had the lugnuts to leave. When Dreadwind took more than his fair share of energon and was hunted down, he tried to blame the theft on Darkwing. After Dreadwind was killed, [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]] opined that Darkwing was a thief, as well. {{Storylink|All His Engines}}

During a battle eons ago, Dreadwind and Darkwing defeated [[Getaway]], [[Slapdash (G1)|Slapdash]], and [[Joyride (G1)|Joyride]]. They were on the verge of destroying the three Autobots when [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] arrived. No match for the Autobot leader, the pair were forced to retreat. {{storylink|End of the Road (Legends)|End of the Road}} [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] and Darkwing attempted to revive [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]], but when Thunderwing proved uncontrollable, the pair had to cooperate with the Wreckers to defeat him. {{storylink|Stormbringer (Legends)|Stormbringer}}

The two Powermasters crossed paths with their Autobot counterparts once again, and this time the Decepticons were victorious. {{storylink|End of the Road (Legends)|End of the Road}} Darkwing was among a group of Decepticons who joined a time-displaced [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] in attacking the fused-together [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], but were fought off by some Autobots. {{storylink|Savage Circle}}

**''Accessories'': "Throttle" Powermaster engine, left & right laser-guided electro-kinetic blasters
:Darkwing transforms into a Panavia Tornado GR1 fighter jet. He is locked in this mode until his packed-in partner Throttle is placed into the engine socket on his back (or until you push down the relevant buttons in said socket). Once "unlocked", he can also form the back half of the "Dreadwing" super-jet.

:Use caution when transforming him from jet to robot mode: the large clip inside the jet nosecone is famously prone to growing large stress marks, before breaking off entirely. You really have to make sure the Powermaster feature's release buttons are being pushed firmly in - and may have more luck doing it with your fingertips than with Throttle.

:Darkwind transforms into a (fictional) FB-129 supersonic fighter-bomber. As an Ultra-scale toy, he comes with various light and sound [[gimmick]]s (exactly the same ones as ''Universe'' [[Powerglide (G1)/toys#Universe|Powerglide]] and Silverbolt), including a machine gun type sound when one presses the big blue button on the fuselage, and different classic transformation sound effects depending on whether he is being transformed from [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] or vice versa.

==Notes==
*In the Marvel continuity, several UK Annual stories depict Darkwing and Dreadwind as working for different Decepticon groups on Earth, but the continuity of these stories is difficult to wrangle. In "[[Prime Bomb!]]", they work for Scorponok, along with the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]]. This can only happen after Scorponok takes full control of the Decepticons of Earth after the [[Underbase Saga]] but, while the Combaticons are not destroyed on-panel by Starscream, it is generally believed that all non-organic enhanced Transformers are disabled. "[[Dreadwing Down!]]" from the next year's annual stars the two Powermasters alongside the [[Seacon (G1)|Seacons]], so it can only have taken place before the Underbase Saga, but also the [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] [[Quake (G1)|Quake]], who is on Cybertron under the [[Triumvirate|Triumverate]]'s command at that time. While some creative massaging of the facts can put these stories in continuity, it's probably best to consider Darkwing and Dreadwind officially unaffiliated with any army until after the war with [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]. Their sudden appearances in "[[The Void! (US)|The Void!]]" among the various Autobots and Decepticons summoned by Primus does indicate they are on either Earth or Cybertron immediately prior, though.
*Like most manga-original Kreons, Darkwing is made up of existing Kreon parts. He wears [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Jazz]]'s helmet and the [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Wheeljack]] backpack to replicate wings, and wields the small pistol first used by [[Bumblebee (Kre-O)|Bumblebee]].
*Darkwing is one of few Generation 1 characters to have more than one ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' counterpart, being mirrored by both [[Darkwing (SG)|Darkwing]] and [[Darkwind]].

:Released as part of the eleventh wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Leader Class figures, Scourge transforms into a frightening truck in 31 steps. Scourge is compatible with the [[Freezer|Core Class Freezer]] figure as a blaster for his hand and in his truck bed. His left arm can detach at the elbow so it can be replaced by his gun attachment.

:Like the majority of Studio Series figures from ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]'', Scourge is based on early concept art, evident by his neck, his smokestacks being visible in robot mode, and the inaccurate chest section/truck grill.

: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. As there are no known fixes at this time (if any even exist), exercise caution when transforming the figure.

:Hasbro revealed the figure on [[January 30]], 2023.

*Scourge's altmode was first revealed on [[Steven Caple Jr.]]'s Instagram account, along with the other two Terrorcons.
*Scourge's design as a large evil semi-truck evokes [[Scourge (RID)|his ''Robots in Disguise'' incarnation]]. It's also worth noting that [[Megatron (Movie)|this universe's Megatron]] also adopted a similarly ''Mad Max''-esque truck form during the events of ''[[Dark of the Moon]]''.
*Scourge's grill is decorated with insignia "trophies" taken from his slain enemies. Looking closely, one can identify [[Autobot]], [[Decepticon]], [[Maximal]], [[Mercenary]] and [[Wreckers|Wrecker]] (specifically the two-hammer symbol used in the [[:File:Wreckeridw.png|''2019 IDW'' design]]) 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]]).

Soundbox

2023-03-06T22:32:06Z

Carno: added some missing size class names before the figure names

A '''soundbox''' is an electronic gadget containing a memory device that records one or more sound clips and plays them back on demand, allowing for audible explosions, beep-wheedles, and "[[:File:I am Optimus Prime.jpg|I am Optimus Prime]]".

A soundbox is a self-contained unit containing batteries, electronics, and speaker, which makes it simple to install in a toy — all the designer needs is to allow space and a grille for the speaker, and make sure there's a way to get to the batteries in one of the toy's modes. On the other hand, a soundbox is relatively large as [[gimmick]]s go, and requires a fair amount of dedicated space.

As with all electronics, soundbox technology has improved notably in the last twenty plus years. Toys featuring soundboxes during the 1980s usually also had to make space for a relatively large {{w|PP3 battery|nine-volt battery}} and the snap connectors that went with it. Modern soundboxes are now powered by {{w|button cell}} batteries, {{w|AAA battery|AAA batteries}}, or {{w|AA battery|AA batteries}}.

Soundboxes have also become somewhat cheaper to manufacture, given their very sparse use in lines previous to [[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|2002]]. During Armada and after, the boxes became a common feature on larger figures.

Because of all these electronic whiz-bang doohickeys involved in their function, it is not uncommon to see one or more [[light-emitting diode]]s wired into the board.

*[[Tidal Wave (Armada)#Toys|Tidal Wave]]'s Armada box noted that he had electronic sounds. He did not. Bummer.
*[[Starscream (Armada)/toys#Cybertron|Cybertron Voyager Starscream]] was designed with a soundbox in mind (even including the requisite speaker and battery brackets when you crack one open), but the final Hasbro and Takara versions have no electronics. Again, bummer.
