[[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.

Long ago, Optronix was a dangerously obsessed librarian who worked in the [[Great Cybertronian Archives]] during the [[Golden Age]]. 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. His hunger for power and knowledge ended one day without warning; he discovered something terrible that destroyed his mind, and in place of his cold calculations was now an unhinged mind bent on random, indiscriminate violence. 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.

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 [[Wrecker]]s 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)/Marvel Comics continuity|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 [[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}}

[[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, moulded them into a legion of autocratic "Autobots", and initially used them as his secret police: together, they were responsible for removing senator [[Shockwave (SG)|Shockwave]] from power and subjecting him to the brain-damaging [[empurata]] procedure. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 2|Shattered Glass #2}}

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]]

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 [[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}}

:After several [[knockoff]]s and [[IP theft|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.

:The product description for the set made mention of ''Shattered Glass'' comics by [[IDW Publishing]],<ref>[https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/134753 "...inspired by the Shattered Glass comics created in partnership with IDW..."]</ref> either being a mis-credit of [[Fun Publications]] comic or a far too-early mention of IDW's [[2021]] ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (IDW)|Shattered Glass]]'' comic.

: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]]".

:''Impactor is an [[Autobot]] or [[Decepticon]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Impactor Autopedia.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Madeup leader of the nobody squad.]]
'''Impactor''' is the legendary former leader of the [[Wrecker]]s, an elite [[Autobot]] strike team, and as such is a deadly force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. His body is covered with weaponry, from the tank cannon on his shoulder, to the missiles hidden in his chest,<ref>[https://twitter.com/NickRoche/status/727425912287928320 Nick Roche (@NickRoche) on Twitter, 3 May 2016]</ref> to the handgun strapped to his leg, and finally his signature [[harpoon]] weapon that replaces his right hand. His audacity and resolve is what puts him in the history books, for better or for worse.

Impactor's first officer, [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], is inevitably his replacement, once terrible things occur. Springer's feelings regarding his filling of Impactor's immense shoes are always a source of angst. Just when Springer thinks these emotions are dealt with and buried, Impactor somehow returns to mix things up again.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
{{noteukexclusive|Impactor}}
[[File:Impactorfearless.jpg|left|upright=1.25|thumb|[[Macabre]] who?]]
After the departure of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] and their troops from the war, [[Xaaron|Emirate Xaaron]] assigned the Wreckers to assassinate the warlord [[Trannis]], who came into power in Megatron's absence. Impactor was chosen to lead this team. Though the assassination attempt was successful, other leaders quickly sprung up to take Trannis' place.

[[File:Xaaronimpactor.jpg|thumb|Impactor carries a gun barrel around for those (*ahem*, Xaaron) who invade his personal space.]]
Though Impactor was dedicated to his troops, he was not so dedicated to his superiors, and was not above directly insulting them. Emirate Xaaron took this attitude in stride, and could give as well as he received. Impactor referred to the Autobot resistance leader as a "wily old buzzard," as he was often surprised by Xaaron's blunt yet indirect ways of making his point and getting what he wanted. Despite this, their difficulties masked a genuine friendship.

Countless years later, after Optimus Prime and his Autobots had awoken on [[Earth]], Impactor and the Wreckers were responsible for executing [[Operation: Volcano]], a planned ambush of the [[Ten Deadliest Killers|Decepticons' fiercest warriors]] using Xaaron as bait. [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] was assigned to the Wreckers to help them bolster their ranks for the mission, but he was quickly needed to travel to Earth to investigate the disappearance of Optimus Prime. Impactor's commitment to the mission wavered and he at first refused to deploy his team without Magnus there as back-up, but he changed his mind after a conversation with Xaaron. Impactor's doubts were further quelled when Xaaron convinced him that [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]], and [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] were an adequate replacement for Magnus, which Xaaron accomplished by having them disguise themselves as Decepticons and beat Impactor up. Operation: Volcano was once again on track.

[[File:Target2006 vacham.jpg|left|thumb|upright=2.0]]
Xaaron, the bait for the Wreckers' trap, was placed according to plan, but suddenly Megatron called his warriors to Earth, overriding all other commands, including the planned ambush on Xaaron. Disappointed that their trap was ruined, the Wreckers let down their guard long enough to allow an assassin named [[Macabre]], ignoring Megatron's orders, to fire upon Xaaron. Impactor was the first to react and pushed Xaaron out of the way, taking the shots meant for the Autobot underground resistance leader. Immediately, the other Wreckers turned and fired upon Macabre, killing him, but Impactor was fatally wounded. With his last words he named Springer the next leader of the Wreckers before dying in Xaaron's arms, again calling him a "wily old buzzard." {{storylink|Target: 2006}}

Impactor's death would haunt several other Autobots for some time to come. Though he sought to deny it, Ultra Magnus felt guilty for not returning to Cybertron in time, and this led to his taking an excessive approach when dealing with Optimus Prime, whom intelligence reports stated was a traitor. {{storylink|Under Fire!}} Subsequently, Magnus found a fight with Megatron proved the opportunity to release his pent-up aggression over Impactor's death. {{storylink|Resurrection!}} Even after that, the sight of a volcano on Earth left him uneasy, and cause him to flashback to Impactor's death. {{storylink|Burning Sky!}}

[[File:Impactorzombie.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Brains!]]
Springer was also severely affected by Impactor's death, and felt inadequate in the shadow of his legacy. So when a rogue Autobot scientist named [[Flame (Marvel)|Flame]] discovered a way to reanimate dead Transformers, Springer was crippled from action when he was met with the reanimated corpse of Impactor. After being captured by the zombies' controller, the mad scientist [[Flame (Marvel)|Flame]], the Wreckers were put in an underground cell, guarded by their former team leader. Managing to find his courage once more, Springer made use of his leaping abilities to escape, but Impactor grabbed a hold of him, dragging him outside of the cell as well. Springer reluctantly fought his predecessor until he managed to jar Impactor into remembering his past life. Confused, Impactor wandered away while Springer pursued his mission to foil Flame's machinations. {{storylink|Legion of the Lost!}} Eventually, Impactor shambled into Flame's inner sanctum, where the rest of the Autobots were facing off both against the crazed scientist, and what remained of his zombie horde. As Flame lunged for Xaaron, Impactor launched his harpoon, impaling Flame through the forehead and killing him. But though Flame had now been dealt with, his machines were overloading, threatening to take the whole planet with them in a chain reaction. The only means to shut them down was to enter a control room bathed in deadly radiation. Though Xaaron had initially planned to sacrifice himself, Impactor took his place, arguing he was already dead anyways. In his second death, Impactor saved [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] once more. {{storylink|Meltdown!}}

Impactor participated in the defense of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] when newly minted [[Decepticon leader]] [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] launched an all-out assault on the city's walls. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 2|Secrets & Lies #2}}

[[File:SecretsAndLies4 ImpactorSinnertwin.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb]]
Impactor and [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]] later met with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and gave him a pep talk when the Autobot commander doubted his ability to measure up to the departed [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]. Impactor also heard of Magnus' need of a "wrecking crew" and assembled a [[Wrecker|new team]] to aid [[Punch (G1)|Punch]] in sabotaging [[Project Dreadnought]]. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 3|Secrets & Lies #3}}

The Wreckers deployed on their first mission and encountered [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] defending the Project Dreadnought staging site. Impactor came up with the team's rallying call on the fly and Abominus was soon forced to disassemble and take the Wreckers on individually. In the ensuing brawl, Impactor lost his hand to [[Sinnertwin (G1)|Sinnertwin]]'s jaws, but managed to fire off the harpoon gun he had been holding in it inside one of the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]'s mouths. The Wreckers ultimately saw to the destruction of Project Dreadnought and retreated, establishing their fearsome reputation as the war raged on for years. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 4|Secrets & Lies #4}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 1|''Last Stand of the Wreckers'' #1]]}}

[[File:Ongoing22 MaccadamsNewOilHouse.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|"Let's see: 'I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness. Starving, hysterical, naked...' Nah, it's never gonna catch on, Megs."]]
Impactor was [[Reproduction#2005 IDW continuity|constructed cold]] before the war. {{storylink|Remain in Light 3 of 5: The Divided Self|The Divided Self}} He worked as a miner near Nova Point, and befriended a fellow mine grunt, [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] there. The two became best friends<ref>[https://twitter.com/jroberts332/status/681985702821793794 James Roberts's MTMTE2015 Q&A on Twitter, 29 December 2015]</ref> despite their differences, and were together when miners were shipped to [[Moonbase Two|Luna 2]] when Cybertron's need for energy rose. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 1|Chaos Theory #1}} {{storylink|Shockwaves}} Impactor thought Megatron's nonviolent solutions to Cybertron's class warfare were cute, and reminded him that there would always be a pecking order, no matter how large or small the equation. Megatron's naïveté was underscored when the lowly [[Rung (G1)|Rung]] was ganged up on by a much larger pair of military cadets and tossed across their table. Impactor, drunk, got up to deal with them the only way he thought mattered. Megatron was put off by the violence and stayed out of the fight, but was arrested anyway; Impactor was taken to [[Deltaran Medical Facility]], but not before he'd torn the cadet's legs off and shoved them into a garbage grinder. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 1|Chaos Theory #1}} {{storylink|Elegant Chaos Part 2: Stet}}

When [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] was arrested for the beating he gave Megatron during the latter's brief incarceration, Impactor ended up being his cellmate on [[Garrus-1]]. Impactor proceeded to beat up Whirl to the brink of fade-out, leaving him in critical condition. {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 2: Patternism|Patternism}}

At some point after war broke out, Impactor joined the Wreckers, when they were not yet the war heroes they would come to be known as, but merely a rumor. {{storylink|Zero Point}} During this time, he was approached by [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] who had formed a partnership with the depraved scientist [[Tarantulas (BW)#2005 IDW continuity|Mesothulas]]. In exchange for releasing his friend [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]] from prison early, Impactor would take down Mesothulas and destroy everything they had built together. Clad in a suit of early [[Anti-rad armor]], Impactor did just that, shoving the scientist into his own [[Noisemaze|experimental weapon]] and annihilating Mesothulas's various weapons. Impactor found, however, that neither he nor Prowl could bring themselves to kill Mesothulas's pet project: an artificial Cybertronian named Ostaros. Instead, they enlisted him as an Autobot under the name "[[Springer (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Springer]]". {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 3|Sins of the Wreckers #3}} {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 5|Sins of the Wreckers #5}} Impactor and Prowl agreed that Springer would be best off serving under [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Kup]], as neither of them considered themselves to be decent role models for the young 'bot. {{storylink|Transformers: Requiem of the Wreckers|Requiem of the Wreckers}}

[[File:RulesofDisengagement-BlackShadowvsWreckers.jpg|thumb|upright=2.4|Only extraordinary Decepticons get to brag about kicking Impactor in the face.]]
He battled [[Black Shadow (G1)|Black Shadow]] in the 11th iteration of the team, under the command of [[Crest]]. {{storylink|Rules of Disengagement (issue)|Rules of Disengagement}} He would go on to become leader of the Wreckers in turn and still holds the record as their longest-serving member to present day. It was ''he'' who coined the phrase "Wreck and Rule!" while saving [[Xaaron]] at the [[Sonic Canyons]]. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|Last Stand of the Wreckers #2}} He left an impact on Springer at [[Sherma Bridge]], when he took control of a flaming Decepticon shuttle pod by disposing of its headless pilot, landing it safely. The incident would inspire Springer to sign up for the Wreckers reservists. {{storylink|Zero Point}} In a minor incident at the Vosian Citadel, Impactor also unknowingly inspired [[Ironfist (G1)|Ironfist]] to become a major Wreckers fanboy and hagiographer. {{storylink|Bullets}}

[[File:RequiemoftheWreckers WreckersWelcome.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Welcome to the Just-Us League.]]
Much later, Impactor personally approached Springer at [[Toxic Sludge Swamps]] to recruit him into the 17th line-up of the Wreckers. With his entrance, he took down eight hidden Decepticons. Springer was impressed but didn't realise at the time that it was all a scripted part of the Wreckers mythology and that Impactor never gave him a choice. {{storylink|Dead Men's Boots}} A different recollection of this encounter had Impactor recruit Springer after watching him take down a Decepticon supply drone. When Springer showed up for his first day as a Wrecker with Kup in tow, Impactor and the entire team greeted the two. Impactor poked a little fun at Springer's obvious attachment to Kup and when the old-timer departed without a word of farewell for the lad, he assured Springer that he'd take care of him. {{storylink|Transformers: Requiem of the Wreckers|Requiem of the Wreckers}}

Impactor took Springer under his wing from that point, and the two shared a close bond not much unlike brothers. He even nicknamed Springer "my little green circuit booster" after the effect he had on him with his speeches. But during Impactor's leadership as the war got dirtier and dirtier, so did the Wreckers. His Wreckers were barely Autobots at that point—they would abuse prisoners, cause unnecessary pain unto their enemies and kill Decepticons even when not needed. When Megatron responded with [[Squadron X]], that sent Impactor into a single-minded rage. As any Autobot would, he hated Squadron X but for him it was personal as he saw an echo of the Wreckers in the team. Impactor then proceeded to chase the enemy team across nine star systems, ignoring significant war events such as the [[Black Epoch]], the [[Simanzi Massacre]], the [[Crucible]], and the "Rise of the [[Dethroner]]". {{storylink|Zero Point}}

[[File:Gloaming-battle-for-hells-point.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|He gave it a shot; turns out that two hands are for chumps.]]
He was among the Autobots fighting atop a Decepticon warcruiser during the [[Battle for Hell's Point]], {{storylink|The Gloaming}} where he picked up the nickname "'''Kiloton'''" for the number of Decepticons he slaughtered during the battle. Over time, his mental state became increasingly unstable, something both his superiors and his fellow Wreckers chose to ignore. Impactor was inspired to replace his hand with a harpoon weapon after a run-in with a dimension-hopping "[[Death's Head (G1)|freelance peacekeeping agent]]". After a long string of suicide missions, Impactor became an alarmingly obsessed individual, especially regarding Squadron X as he felt indirectly responsible for the atrocities they had committed. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Impactor's psych-screening}}

As described in Ironfist's [[Wreckers: Declassified|''The Wreckers' Air Attack'']], Impactor met his old friend Megatron at the [[Manganese Mountains]] where they fought on a drilling platform. Eventually, Impactor lost his hand, chin, and had Megatron's fusion cannon pressed to his head. Before giving the killing blow, Megatron gave a poetic speech of Impactor's coming death. Even with no power to lift his harpoon, Impactor replied by scratching the words "NOT MORE POETRY" on the platform, and gave Megatron pause (That moment, at least, appears to be entirely factual as Fisitron is unaware of why these "random" words affected Megatron). In that window of opportunity, Springer used a sky sled to knock Megatron down, sending him to fall thousands of feet into the Mountains.

After gathering his mouth, Impactor proceeded to inform Springer what they'd have to do in four minutes: save Xaaron, rescue [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] from his antimatter duplicate, deactivate [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s necrocannon and stop the platform they were on from crashing into a nucleon reactor. Springer was unsure if they could manage all that in the given time so Impactor told him that they actually had two minutes, but assured him that he had a plan. Years later [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]] would consider this account full of embellishments and fabrications, but said the essence was true. {{storylink|Zero Point}}

[[File:LastStandoftheWreckers5-squadronexxed.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|They were like that when I got here!]]
After chasing Squadron X across the galaxy, the Wreckers' rivalry with them came to an end on the planet [[Pova]]. The Wreckers found themselves in a bad way after Impactor's first officer, Springer, was trapped under some collapsed rubble. Despite Springer's pleas, Impactor used Springer's own body as a shield against Squadron X's advancing troops, firing through it. This helped turn the tide, and the Wreckers rounded up all of Squadron X for transport offworld. Unfortunately, Prowl told Impactor that Pova was neutral territory, and that he was ordered to set them free or else the Autobots would face diplomatic repercussions. Impactor snapped, and personally executed every member of Squadron X while they were restrained. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Last Stand of the Wreckers #5}}

When the Wreckers were on their way back from Pova, they stopped at [[G'th Semane]]. Springer made a call to [[Autobot High Command]], and turned Impactor in for the massacre. The mech he talked to had been waiting for the opportunity to arrest Impactor for hundreds of years. Impactor passively detached his harpoon and went without a fight, much to Springer's surprise. {{storylink|Zero Point}}

Springer testified against Impactor, and the disgraced Wreckers leader was imprisoned on [[Garrus-9]]. A cover story for what happened on Pova was released which involved Springer suggesting Impactor fire through his torso and Squadron X later escaping their restraints, necessitating their deaths. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 4}} As extra punishment for refusing to show remorse for what he'd done, Impactor was not granted the mercy of spark removal, and instead was imprisoned normally. In jail, they called him "the Autobot that went ''too far''". {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|Last Stand of the Wreckers #2}} As Impactor was dragged to his cell, Springer said something he didn't want to hear, something he would dwell upon for the length of his incarceration: Squadron X deserved to die, but that didn't give Impactor the right to kill them. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Last Stand of the Wreckers #5}}

[[File:LastStandoftheWreckers1-Impactor post boom.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Give him a hand, folks!]]
Twenty years later, [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] seized control of G-9, and Springer's Wreckers were sent to liberate it. Springer was trying hard not to think of Impactor. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 1|Last Stand of the Wreckers #1}} However, the Decepticon [[Snare]], wanting Overlord gone, released Impactor from his cell in the hope he could escape the planet and get help. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|Last Stand of the Wreckers #2}} As the Wreckers arrived at Garrus-9, a decrepit Decepticon dropship blocked their path. It exploded before their eyes, but not before the battered form of Impactor ejected from the craft. Appearing before the shocked Wreckers, Impactor sneered, requesting to be let aboard. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 1|Last Stand of the Wreckers #1}}

He filled the new Wreckers in on the situation and how he'd escaped, while continuing to clash with Springer. He not only refused to recognize that his former soldier was now in charge, he snarled that he used to think Springer would've done the same thing Impactor himself did on Pova... and was now sickened that Springer ''wouldn't''. Conflict aside, Springer knew Impactor was needed for the mission. Given a new harpoon, he was placed in Springer's drop-team and deployed to G-9... and he recognized, with visible glumness, the name of their secondary objective, "[[Aequitas]]".

Descending towards G-9 in two ejected escape pods, they met with tough Decepticon resistance. Despite their maneuvering, Impactor's ship was the first to go down, though the other wasn't far behind. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|Last Stand of the Wreckers #2}} After their crash-landing, Impactor led them towards where the Autobot prisoners were being held. Cell Block G was directly below him, best he recalled, but [[Twin Twist]]'s drilling only sent them tumbling into a large, empty chamber. At the bottom, Impactor found the twisted remains of [[Kick-Off (G1)|Kick-Off]], whom he regarded as one of the few guards who treated G-9's prisoners with respect. Their presence in this chamber signaled G-9's defenses, and after he, Springer, and Twin Twist were electrocuted, they woke up strapped to tables in the care of [[Stalker (G1)|Stalker]]. A sadist, Stalker grabbed his tools of torture and gleefully went to work on them. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 3|Last Stand of the Wreckers #3}}

[[File:LastStandoftheWreckers4-fivewords.jpg|left|thumb|upright=2.0|He makes that same face when he doesn't want to eat his peas.]]
Unlike Springer and Twin Twist, Impactor had grown used to the Decepticons' methods in the time since their takeover of G-9, so he alone managed to stay online during Stalker's "work". Twin Twist was looking terrible and mangled, and Springer had just woken up when he and Impactor began talking about their murky past. Impactor accused Springer of betraying the Wreckers with the testimony against him, while Springer was surprised to learn that Impactor still had no remorse for what he'd done. So long as Impactor refused to realize that he'd done wrong, their feelings were at an impasse.

Stalker returned with a [[endoscopic claw|new torture device]] but his work on Twin Twist was interrupted when his brother Topspin sacrificed his own life elsewhere, extinguishing both sparks. Disappointed, Stalker turned his attentions to Impactor, but was again interrupted. [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Kup]], [[Guzzle (G1)|Guzzle]], and the turncoat Decepticon Snare blasted into Stalker's lair. Snare was mortally wounded in the following skirmish, and Stalker was killed. As Snare lay dying, Impactor questioned him, wondering why the Decepticon had saved them. Snare told them that Overlord was on his way and asked that he himself be killed, which Impactor did curtly before Snare could finish his final words.

True to Snare's last warning, Overlord arrived with a boom. Unknown to them, elsewhere, the other half of the Wreckers had completed their objective by hacking the supercomputer judge Aequitas and downloading it into Ironfist's brain. They were surrounded by Decepticons whom they could easily deal with if they simply signaled all the deterrence chips in their heads, killing them. But they knew this would also kill Impactor, who was also an ex-prisoner, and so his and their fate came to a vote. Perceptor voted for killing him for the sake of many, Pyro voted against, and...Ironfist, Impactor's greatest fanboy and new host to Aequitas's judgment of Impactor, came to the sad realization that his hero very much deserved to die. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 4|Last Stand of the Wreckers #4}}

[[File:LastStandoftheWreckers5-finishhimoff.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Surprise! He's a tank. Surprise! He's gonna kick your ass.]]
Fortunately for Impactor (and the Wreckers), [[Verity Carlo]] convinced the others to spare Impactor. After Overlord pulled Guzzle apart and used the pieces to put Kup down, Impactor removed Overlord's eye with his harpoon. In response, Overlord stomped Impactor into the ground, forcing him offline. When Impactor came to, Overlord had been reduced to a flaming skeleton facing only the fragile Verity Carlo. Impactor blasted Overlord's arm off and attacked him, but Overlord had lost the will to fight, as he'd learned that Megatron had perished, robbing Overlord of his final showdown with him. Overlord beckoned Impactor to kill him, but Impactor refused. In honor of Springer, whom Impactor thought had died, the former Wreckers commander promised that Overlord would serve trial as a criminal, and himself finally came to terms with the crimes he committed on Pova.

Impactor was pardoned in exchange for his help retaking Garrus-9, and he immediately left for parts unknown on a shuttle with the repaired Guzzle. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Last Stand of the Wreckers #5}}

Things didn't go well for the new pair: Guzzle became increasingly violent and obsessed with racking up a bodycount, something that struck Impactor too close to home, and which got him captured in a rescue mission against Decepticon Harvesters. The fact Impactor cared about Guzzle and the alien hostages enough to rescue them was a sign that he was improving... but when the hostages were killed, Impactor allowed himself to succumb to bloodlust once more, realising to his horror that he could not escape it. {{storylink|Escape (G1)|Escape}}

[[File:SinsoftheWreckers1 ImpactorRoadbusterArgue.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.7]]
Eventually, Impactor balked and had Guzzle imprisoned at Debris for butchering prisoners, something that a raging Guzzle felt was hypocritical. All Impactor could now do was wile away his days with Roadbuster, lamenting the state of the Wreckers and their lack of purpose. Roadbuster comforted Impactor by pointing out he ''didn't'' join the killing and was trying to care for a comrade. Such caring was a point of contention between the two as Impactor felt it was wrong for his teammate to keep Springer alive, after years of no mental activity, and tried to drag Debris administrator [[Hubcap (G1)|Hubcap]] into the debate.

Shortly after, Springer did in fact regain consciousness: just in time for the Wreckers to be gathered once again to try and rescue a captured Prowl. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 1|Sins of the Wreckers #1}}

[[File:SinsoftheWreckers2 ImpactorMeetsCarnivac.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|It's a tank-eat-bear world.]]
On Earth, Impactor and the Wreckers found Prowl's old collaborator [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] hunting for him, after he went missing en route to Verity Carlo and her copy of the [[Aequitas]] [[data slug]]. When a "[[Stampy (BW)|rabbit]]" stole the data slug, Impactor and Guzzle took off after the creature, but soon encountered several [[Chimeracon]]s, robots in disguise as Earth creatures. While Guzzle took on [[Polar Claw]], [[Carnivac (G1)|Carnivac]] disabled Springer with his paralyzing [[outlier (group)|outlier]] ability. Impactor came to Springer's aid, and Carnivac introduced himself as the leader of [[Mayhem Attack Squad|Mayhem]], a rogue group intent on toppling the corrupt power structures created by the Autobots and Decepticons alike. Carnivac extended an offer to join them, being familiar with Impactor's reputation as a maverick. Impactor refused, particularly unimpressed with Carnivac's indifference when Guzzle killed Polar Claw right in front of them. Carnivac departed and Impactor and the recovered Springer were left to handle the raging Guzzle, who had ingested some of Polar Claw's [[Obtenteum|spilled fuel]] and was being hideously mutated by its effects. Rendezvousing with the others nearby as they took on more members of Mayhem, Impactor and Springer let Guzzle loose on the massive Chimeracon known as [[Tidal Wave (G1)|Tidal Wave]]. Surmising that Prowl was being held inside him, Springer led a squad into Tidal Wave as Impactor, Kup, and Guzzle remained outside to draw fire and divert their other attackers. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 2|Sins of the Wreckers #2}}

Becoming stuck in mid-transformation, Tidal Wave was ordered to retreat. Impactor was intent on following, but Kup elaborated on the mind-link Prowl had installed in him, eliciting an angry response. Kup forwarded a message Prowl sent through it and upon hearing a mention of the "[[Noisemaze]]", Impactor immediately knew [[Tarantulas (BW)|who they were dealing with]], filling him with dread. Without wasting any time, he told Kup they must return to Debris. Once they were back on the space station and with Guzzle recharging, Impactor began digging up his own pre-made grave in the Wreckers' mausoleum. He explained to Kup what the Noisemaze was and the two brainstormed a method of countering the pocket dimension's mind-warping effects. Impactor then revealed he had hidden a gate to the Noisemaze in the grave. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 3|Sins of the Wreckers #3}}

[[File:Sotw4 undeserved.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|left]]
With Tarantulas now holding the other Wreckers prisoner along with Prowl, Impactor prepared a rescue plan. He had to knock Kup out cold in order for the old-timer to send a warning message to Prowl through their mind-link. Impactor then used his long-hidden gate to breach the Noisemaze with Debris itself, intending to destabilize the entire dimension with the massive space station. He made sure Kup and Guzzle understood the plan and the three tooled-up, leaping into battle with Mayhem's Chimeracons, who Tarantulas fielded to defend him. The giant Tidal Wave breached the Noisemaze as well, exacerbating its collapse as Impactor singled out Carnivac for a one-on-one fight. Carnivac again attempted to seduce Impactor to his side, but Impactor wasn't having it, gaining the upper hand in their scuffle. However, the two were forced to stop when the towering Tidal Wave loomed over them, intent on getting in on some of the action. Impactor found himself solidly punted by Tidal Wave's massive foot straight into the [[Tor]]- Tarantulas' lair at the heart of the Noisemaze.

Inside, Impactor watched from the shadows as Prowl leveled a gun at the traitorous Hubcap, intent on silencing him and protecting the sensitive data the communications specialist had accrued. Prowl was ultimately swayed not to shoot Hubcap, but Impactor felt keeping the traitor around was too great a security risk and that the deaths of his comrades would've been for nothing if that data was leaked. Shooting Hubcap through the chest, he cynically declared that guys like Prowl would always have someone like Impactor around to do the dirty work when they faltered.

Soon the escaped Springer and the others caught up to them, and Impactor took responsibility up-front for eliminating Hubcap. Noticing that Roadbuster was missing from the group, Impactor immediately knew what that meant for his old comrade and took a moment with Springer to lament the loss of their friend. The group began to hatch a plan to destroy the Noisemaze and Tor for good, hitting upon the idea of forcing Tidal Wave to transform. The gravimetric crunch of such a massive Transformer doing so would destabilize the maze to a critical point, and Impactor suggested adding the super-fuel [[Obtenteum]] to the mix. The team headed to the room with the main Obtenteum supply stored in a giant column, and Impactor and Springer immediately moved to pilfer some and lay explosives to destroy the rest. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 4|Sins of the Wreckers #4}}

[[File:SinsoftheWreckers5 SpringerImpactorLastOrder.jpg|thumb|upright=2.0]]
Tarantulas appeared before the group, the giant spider growing further in size and initiating a contraction of the Tor so he could escape with his experiments intact. As the others engaged him, Springer weighed their options and told Impactor to get the rest out as he ensured the destruction of Tarantulas' lair. Impactor protested, but Springer gave Impactor the order to remotely blow the charges if he was unable to escape in time. Impactor harpooned over the giant Tarantulas as Springer and Arcee cut the web the spider was perched on. Tarantulas prevented himself from falling by growing yet larger and grabbed Verity, but Impactor and the others quickly wrested her free from the spider's clutches. Impactor took a moment to reveal that HE was the one who originally chucked Mesothulas into the Noisemaze, not Prowl as Tarantulas had first assumed. Learning this, Tarantulas came to the conclusion that Prowl hadn't done away with Ostaros either, and demanded to know what had happened to his beloved creation. After hearing Springer's voice signal Impactor and noting a meaningful look between Impactor and Prowl at this, Tarantulas instinctively realized that Ostaros was in fact present at the moment and moved to reunite with him. Impactor ordered Prowl and Verity out of the Tor as Arcee intercepted Tarantulas and sliced his giant spider head off. Impactor then used the decapitated head to halt the Tor's contraction via Tarantulas' retinal scanner.

[[File:SinsoftheWreckers5 ImpactorJoinsMayhem.jpg|thumb|upright=1.7|left|We have ''years''--as many as we need... years-- to ''train'' and ''study'' and ''plan''... This will be a ''good'' life... good ''enough''.]]
After Prowl and the others outside successfully got Tidal Wave juiced up on Obtentium and forcefully-transformed, the Noisemaze began to violently collapse. The decapitated Tarantulas suddenly recovered and leaped down the Obtentium column before Impactor and Arcee could stop him. Impactor wanted to pursue but received another message from Springer, ordering him to stay the course and follow his last command. Arcee reassured the torn Impactor that Springer knew what he was doing and the two exited the Tor, with Impactor choosing to have faith in his former subordinate. Once outside, Springer's signals stopped, and a sorrowful Impactor ultimately had to blow the charges and destroy the Tor. Jumping aboard Debris, Impactor and Arcee found a wrathful Guzzle preparing to execute Prowl and Kup, and Impactor was forced to neutralize his former companion with a harpoon through the head. Thankfully, Prowl insisted on going back into the collapsing Noisemaze one last time, and a surviving Springer was successfully rescued, much to Impactor's relief. In the aftermath, Impactor decided to take Carnivac up on his offer to join Mayhem, and the two began to plot the group's future. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 5|Sins of the Wreckers #5}}

Impactor was mistakenly remembered to be in queue to board the ''[[Lost Light]]'' before its maiden launch by [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]]. {{storylink|Last Light (issue)|Last Light}} When Kup was equipped with a rocket pack for travel to the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], he stated in elation, "If only Impactor and the guys could see me now!" {{storylink|Enter The Shadow}} Impactor would feature in [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Thundercracker]]'s [[Starscream: The Movie (film)|screenplay]], generically portrayed as an Autobot thug who helped beat up [[Scrounge (G1)|Scrounge]] alongside Ultra Magnus and [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]]. {{storylink|Starscream: The Movie (comic)|Starscream: The Movie}}

[[File:RequiemoftheWreckers ImpactorUndercoverAltMode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.7]]
As Impactor and Carnivac pushed forward with their plans for Mayhem, Impactor began to take the leading role in the organization, much to Carnivac's chagrin. They concocted a scheme to ruin human/Cybertronian relations by framing an Autobot for murdering a prominent human politician. To that end, Impactor reformatted his alternate mode and went undercover in the [[President of the United States]]' motorcade. Carnivac used his absence to reassert his own authority over Mayhem and went forward with their frame-up plan without Impactor's knowledge, spitefully choosing Springer as the Autobot they would utilize. Having gotten an invitation from Springer to talk in the wake of Kup's death, Impactor stumbled upon Carnivac's plot in motion. Carnivac used his outlier powers to control Springer like a puppet and assassinate the politician Megan Guiglione. However, "Megan" turned out to be Overlord in disguise, using Tarantulas' Chimeracon tech to assume a human form. Overlord revealed himself and attacked Springer, forcing the other undercover members of Mayhem present to intervene. Impactor arrived on the scene to find his Mayhem colleagues slaughtered, and Overlord fleeing after taking Verity Carlo prisoner. Tending to the paralyzed Springer, Impactor called Carnivac out of hiding, furious that things had spiraled so far out of control. Carnivac, weakened from controlling Springer, tried to explain himself but Impactor didn't want his excuses. Impactor told him that they would return to their base so both Carnivac and Springer could recover... and then Carnivac would DIE at Impactor's hand.

[[File:RequiemoftheWreckers SpringerAndImpactorAttack.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|left]]
Back at Mayhem's base, Impactor put Springer in a [[CR chamber]] and kept vigil over him. Suddenly, the enraged [[Triple Changer]] woke up and burst out of the chamber, throttling Impactor and blaming him for the situation. Impactor tried to shift the blame to Carnivac and when the former Decepticon entered the room, Impactor slugged him and demanded answers. Carnivac revealed the full extent of Impactor's involvement in Mayhem's frame-up plan, much to Springer's horror, although Impactor protested that it wasn't supposed to be Springer who would be the fall guy. Springer buried the disgust he was feeling at the moment, intending to track down and rescue Verity from Overlord. He looked to Impactor for support and guilt-stricken, Impactor chose to accompany him. The two found Verity in the company of not only Overlord, but Tarantulas, with whom Overlord had formed an alliance. Impactor nailed Overlord's left eye with a wired harpoon shot and engaged the [[Phase Sixer]] as Springer confronted Tarantulas and ensured Verity's safety. Overlord tossed Impactor down a deep crevasse in Tarantulas' new lair, but the falling Impactor managed to tangle Overlord's legs up with another harpoon shot. Springer slammed into Overlord and sent the three tumbling down into the darkness, with Overlord's firepower collapsing some of the surrounding rock on top of them.

[[File:RequiemoftheWreckers ImpactorDies.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Buried in rubble and separated from Overlord at the moment, Impactor took the time to briefly reminisce about how he and Springer first met. Impactor acknowledged that Kup was the reason Springer became such a good person, and admitted it might have been better if he never brought Springer into the murky world of the Wreckers at all. Suddenly, the recovered Overlord began to approach and Impactor told Springer he had one last thing to do as a Wrecker; re-enact what happened on [[Pova]] between them, but with the roles reversed. Springer was to shoot through the still-trapped Impactor for a surprise attack on Overlord. When the unsuspecting Phase Sixer stood before his pinned prey and smugly asked for some last words, Impactor only had one response- ''WRECK AND RULE''. Springer fired through his friend's chest, stunning Overlord and knocking him over before bursting through Impactor's flaming wreckage in vehicle mode. Heading back up to Verity with a furious Overlord in pursuit, Springer ruefully eulogized Impactor by calling him "a wily old buzzard." {{storylink|Transformers: Requiem of the Wreckers|Requiem of the Wreckers}}

Impactor led the Wreckers during their campaign against Squadron X on [[Frellus IV]]. There, he willingly sacrificed members of the [[Hasmata]] in order to flee from Squadron X's siege.

===''Of Masters and Mayhem''===
[[File:TheTruthWeMake ImpactorCounterpunch.jpg|thumb|250px|"Do you expect me to talk?" "No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die."]]
Impactor was the leader of the Wreckers, with missions such as [[Operation: Volcano]], the Battle of [[Hell's Point]], and the [[Garrus-9|Garrus 9]] Incursion being the stuff of legend among Autobots and Decepticons alike. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 68|Impactor's profile in Club magazine #68}}

During [[Operation Cybaxx]], Impactor and the Wreckers tracked down High Circuitmaster [[Boltax (G1)|Boltax]], who had preserved his consciousness inside the knowledge base known as the [[Underbase]]. The secrecy of their mission put them at odds with another Autobot team running Operation: Dark Star, and led to numerous rumors and false retellings of the operation. Boltax was recovered, under the codename of Cybaxx, and incorporated into the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]]s' merger [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] to feed the knowledge of the Underbase into Computron's data processing abilities.

Despite his reputation as a stone killer, Impactor remembered the deaths of all his men and those they were forced to kill in the line of duty. The Wreckers once had a recorder named [[Ironfist (G1)|Fisitron]] who attempted to alleviate the weight of Impactor's actions by creating his own thorough chronicle of the Wreckers' history. When Fisitron died, Impactor wore his data disc around his neck as a reminder. {{storylink|Lively Pursuit}}

The story of Impactor and his Wreckers was cut short, however, when [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was left ravaged by [[Decepticon]] [[combiner]] [[Thunder Mayhem]]. Vowing revenge, Impactor set out across the planet to build a new team with which to destroy the apocalyptic gestalt. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 68|Impactor's profile in Club magazine #68}}

His first recruit was the spy [[Punch (G1)|Punch]], who Impactor found critically injured in the ruins of an Autobot outpost on [[Gargoid]] {{storylink|The Truth We Make}} and then took to [[Paradron]] for medical care. Impactor was initially outraged that [[Lifeline (G1)|Lifeline]] could only save one of Punch's robot forms, but after storming out, he had second thoughts. {{storylink|Insight}} It was also on Paradron that Impactor installed some medical equipment with lethal capabilities into himself. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 68|Impactor's profile in Club magazine #68}}

After the spy awoke, he gave Impactor the shocking news that Punch had been the fiction and Counterpunch the true identity all along. The Wrecker leader was angry at this long-term deception, but put this aside to make Counterpunch an offer: join him the Wreckers and stop the monster that destroyed Cybertron. {{storylink|The Truth We Make}}
[[Image:Toxic Transformer The Wreckers.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]

Impactor and Counterpunch subsequently followed a distress signal to [[Chicxulania|a mysterious planet]] where they found found a small group of Cybertronians who had taken on bestial [[alternate mode]]s. After donating a universal translator from Paradron to help the "[[Raptoricon]]s" clear up their relations with the planet's local lifeforms, Impactor recruited their newest associate, [[Decepticon]] geochemist [[Fractyl]], to the Wreckers. {{storylink|Life Finds a Way}}

Next, Impactor tracked down a data trail indicating a Decepticon research bunker may have shut down before the final fallout with Thunder Mayhem, leaving a test subject inside. Sure enough, the Wreckers discovered Toxitron, still trapped in stasis from his vain attempt to escape. After reviewing the records on Toxitron, Impactor decided to free him from his stasis and offer him the choice to join the Wreckers. Fortunately for all, Toxitron accepted. {{storylink|The Toxic Transformer}}

[[File:DeadlyAim Wreckage.jpg|thumb|200px]]
Building off the design schematics from the former Wreckers engineer, [[Ironclad]], Impactor hoped to create his own Wreckers combiner to oppose Thunder Mayhem. To that end, two more Wreckers were found and recruited, named [[Alpha Bravo]] and [[Offroad (CW)|Offroad]], who had already been fitted as reserve members of the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s and [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticon]]s. Fractyl also reasoned out the means of creating a Matrix from the Greenergon he found on Chicxulania, introducing it into Toxitron's system as the central component to supercharge the Wreckers combiner. During the surgery, however, Impactor also introduced a failsafe compound of thiotimoline into Toxitron's body, which would react violently to the toxic materials in the test subject's body if necessary.

To test their new form, Impactor brought Counterpunch, Fractyl, Toxitron, Alpha Bravo, and Offroad to a [[Mecannibal]] nest. Sure enough, the Greenergon-powered goliath named Wreckage was an unstoppable foe. However, Wreckage proved to have no self-control when it came to wrecking, and would wreck anything in his line of sight. Impactor only barely survived Wreckage turning his sights on the Wreckers leader, until Alpha Bravo forced a separation. Shellshocked by the mental merger, Alpha Bravo killed Offroad to prevent Wreckage from ever forming again, and was killed in turn by Toxitron. {{storylink|Foundation and Wreckage Part 1: Deadly Aim|Deadly Aim}}

[[File:LivelyPursuit Wreckers.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]
Impactor was prepared to give up when the Wreckers received a distress call from Cybertron. They met the former Autobot gunner named [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]], who had encountered Impactor during Operation: Dark Star. Bluestreak had been approached by aliens named the [[Teklaan]]s who claimed they could revive Cybertron, but needed living sparks to rekindle the lives of the lost population. Bluestreak initially turned Impactor and the Wreckers over to the Teklaans, but soon learned their terraforming process would ultimately destroy Cybertron all over again in a few generations.

As the Wreckers escaped confinement, Impactor got Bluestreak into a reconstruction lab where they applied Ironclad's upgrades to themselves. After that, they rejoined the other Wreckers and successfully recreated Wreckage. With greater focus on the mission than before thanks to the inclusion of Impactor, Wreckage destroyed the Teklaans' ship and disassembled on command. The Wreckers were now complete, and they had the combiner power to face Thunder Mayhem. {{storylink|Lively Pursuit}}

Impactor and the Wreckers received a signal tracking Thunder Mayhem to the planet [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Pandora's Gift}} There they teamed up with [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and the humans and [[Mega Pretender]]s of another reality to battle Thunder Mayhem. The human [[Lisa|Elizabeth]] used her power to channel Wreckage's energies and shatter the [[Matrix of Malice]], forcing the evil combiner apart. Impactor and the Wreckers took the Mayhem Attack Squad into custody following that exchange. {{storylink|Finale (OMAM)|Finale}}

[[Functionism|Predetermined]] to work in the Energon Mines under the oppressive old order of Cybertron, Impactor swore an oath to himself to protect the people of Cybertron, one that he considered more important than any factional allegiance.

When Megatron murdered [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] and split from Optimus Prime & [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], Impactor joined the Decepticons, harboring an intense distrust of the Autobots due to their upper-class origins, while Megatron had been right there alongside him in the mines. {{storylink|Siege episode 3}}

Impactor led a squad of Decepticons in ambushing the Autobots, who had been lured to [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] under fabricated intel that the [[AllSpark|Allspark]] was resting there. Though he managed to shoot a hole right through [[Cog (G1)|Cog's]] chest, his luck ran out when a downed [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] accidentally dropped a building on him. With Impactor assumed dead, [[Barricade (IDW)|Barricade]] took command of the unit and then took the blame when he had to report to Megatron, who was rather upset to learn that a valued soldier like Impactor had fallen. {{storylink|Siege episode 2}}

Megatron would subsequently use Impactor's death at the hands of the Autobots to garner sympathy for the Decepticons and exacerbate anti-Autobot sentiments, broadcasting across Cybertron to lament the loss of such a loyal soldier. However, as it turned out, Impactor had survived the attack, albeit barely. Fortunately, he was uncovered by the neutral medic [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], who patched him up and put him to work helping out around his hidden clinic, as was the condition for his repairs. Impactor took to the role gladly out of genuine gratitude for Ratchet's help, assisting the other patients - even Autobots - without complaint.

When [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] brought Optimus Prime to Ratchet's clinic to ask for his help in fixing the [[space bridge]] they'd discovered, Impactor saw the impatient [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] pull his gun on Ratchet and rushed in to tackle Mirage to the ground, as well as chastising him for his elitist attitude and ignorance to the plight of the lower classes.

When Ratchet agreed to repair the space bridge, he told Impactor to stay at the clinic and work with the stronger bots there to keep the place safe, but Impactor decided instead to join Ratchet on the mission to ensure his safety, partly out of gratitude for his repairs and partly because of his personal oath.

This alliance with the Autobots was an uneasy one, with [[Elita One (G1)|Elita-1]] demanding he remove his personal comm before he be allowed into the Autobot headquarters, something Ratchet considered barbaric. Impactor, however, consented, as a show of sincerity, informing the Autobots that he believes in protecting the people of Cybertron, not allegiance to factions. He disconnected his comm, but since it still broadcasted his signal, [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] were able to track it and discover the location of Autobot Command. {{storylink|Siege episode 3}}

At Autobot Command, Impactor and Ratchet assisted [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] in his medical duties until the space bridge repair team was deployed. Impactor lamented Megatron's turn to abject tyranny, believing that the Megatron he knew would never have gone this far. Tensions between Mirage & Impactor continued at the site of the space bridge, with the Autobot accusing Impactor of setting them up when the local Seeker patrol arrived earlier than expected. Impactor was able to quickly ease any doubts of his allegiance when he immediately knocked Ratchet out of the way of the Seekers' fire, taking a shot in the shoulder for his friend. {{storylink|Siege episode 4}} When Ratchet later successfully repaired the space bridge, Mirage extended his praise to Impactor for all his help, having seemingly come around to the Decepticon. {{storylink|Siege episode 5}}

With the Autobots' entire communications grid downed due to [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s virus, the space bridge repair team was left cut off from command. Impactor was unfazed, telling the Autobots they'd simply have to hold the Decepticon forces off themselves. During the battle for the space bridge, [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] attempted to gun down Ratchet before he could activate it. Impactor once again put his body between the medic and gunfire, this time taking a fatal shot for his friend. Thanking Ratchet for all he had done for him, Impactor died in the medic's arms. {{storylink|Siege episode 6}}

**''Accessories'': Clamp weapon, combiner hand/foot, assorted hand attachments

:Part of the [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service#Series 4.0 (2016)|Figure Subscription Service 4.0]], ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Impactor is a [[retool]] of Deluxe Class [[Rook (CW)#Generations|Rook]] with a new head. He transforms into an {{w|Reconnaissance vehicle|armored reconnaissance}} vehicle (reminiscent to a {{w|Type 87 ARV}}), and can also form an arm or leg for any compatible ''Combiner Wars''-style Voyager figure (or into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs). One of his hands is unpainted purple so as to replicate the character's traditional one-handed appearance. He includes the mold's [[5 mm post|5 mm]] clamp weapon, along with redecoes of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Generations|Arcee]]'s four accessories. Of those, the swords are intended to be used to recreate Impactor's traditional harpoon-hand, whilst the larger pistol is decoed to resemble his shoulder cannon. Although Impactor can use his weapon/extremity for his arm mode, his clamp weapon can be plugged in to represent Wreckage's harpoon-hand.

:Impactor was released alongside [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Bluestreak]].

:The original version of this mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' [[Roller (G1)#Toys|Wandering Roller]], slightly retooled into [[BotCon 2016]] [[Tarantulas (BW)#Generations|Predacon Tarantulas]], heavily retooled into ''Combiner Wars'' [[Swindle (G1)#Combiner Wars|Swindle]] and [[Hound (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Hound]], and ''even further'' retooled into [[Nosecone (G1)#Unite Warriors 2|''Unite Warriors'' Nosecone]].

:In accordance with his victory in the 2018 ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Fan polls#2018|Hasbro fan poll]], Impactor received a new figure in ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', thematically matched up against [[Mirage (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Mirage]]. As his first non-retool figure, Impactor is styled after his Marvel appearance and transforms into a Cybertronian 4-treaded battle tank with a working turret. He comes with 2 accessories: the HP Energon Mineblaster and the Trilithium Drill, which is styled after his classic harpoon. He features multiple [[C.O.M.B.A.T.

The figure is noticeably tall for a Deluxe figure, rivaling the height of Ironhide from the same line. As part of the ''Siege'' line, Impactor features battle damage paint applications, specifically above his treads and mine plow. The Autobot insignia on his chest is uncolored, filled by the base plastic colors of the figure. Unlike most Siege toys, Impactor's two weapons are not designed to be combined into a larger weapon.

:Some figures have been reported coming with instruction sheets that list the weapon names in Cybertronian, for no apparent reason.

:Because of the way in which he transforms, it's possible to make either a tank turret standing on Impactor's legs or Impactor's upper body rolling on a tank hull.

:Exercise caution while transforming the waist section: The unpaintable waist's upper cavity may clash and chip off the hip's painted front stomach after repeated transformations. Due to the weak connection, the cover panel/5mm port on Impactor's nape is not strong enough to support heavy Weaponizer backpacks. Both the TakaraTomy and Hasbro's secondary stock photos depict his Trilithium Drill as a handheld weapon.

:This mold serves as the basis for the [[Dome Guard]]s from the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|Netflix cartoon]].

*'''Fan Vote Battle 3-Pack''' (Multi-pack, 2019)
**''ID number'': '''WFC-S56'''
**''Accessories'': "HP Energon Mineblaster" rifle, harpoon
:Released as part of a three-pack with [[Mirage (G1)/toys#S55|Holo Mirage]] and [[Aragon#S56|Powerdasher Aragon]], "Decepticon Impactor" is a redeco/retool of the figure above, featuring a new IDW-accurate head. While the plastic colors remain unchanged, he features a lot of additional paint operations, including black and yellow hazard stripes on his shoulder and upper chest, the silver "scratch" effects on Impactor's legs use a completely new layout, and most of the remaining paint operations that retain their layout differ in color one way or another. Also, as the toy's official name implies, the general retail version's purple Autobot insignia has been replaced with a Decepticon insignia for this version.

:His instructions do not call out his harpoon accessory specifically (nor does it show it as a wrist-attachment weapon), but do note that it combines with his shoulder-cannon to form the "Earthbreaker Cannon".

:This set was an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive in the United States, Canada, and Europe, but was available at general retail in Hasbro's Asian markets such as [[Hong Kong]], released before the original figure above.

:This version of Impactor is a slathered redeco of the mass-retail release of ''Siege'' Impactor, featuring darker colors and a considerable amount of additional "weathering effect" paint operations meant to make him resemble his appearance on the [[Netflix]] ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' cartoon. However, he retains the non-screen-accurate Autobot insignia of the original figure. Interestingly, the layout for the tampographed "scratch" details on his legs are recycled from the general retail ''Siege'' release, although the color for those details is changed from silver from yellow. He also features two considerably different shades of yellow, which mostly affects the legs and is supposed to give his alternate mode a more "weathered" look, but it causes a rather jarring contrast between the two parts of his shoulder joints.

:Impactor was released in the second wave of ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' figures, promoting the ''Earthrise'' season of the cartoon despite the character having already died in the ''Siege'' season.

:Impactor was released as a part of the Walmart-exclusive ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)#Netflix|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' subline.

==Notes==
{{quote|What does Impactor transform into?}}{{quote|Who cares, he's dead.|Human child and [[Blaster (G1)#Letter's page|Blaster]]|[[Eye of the Storm|#306 Darn 'n' Blast It]]}}
*According to [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] in [[Survivors!|issue #221]]'s [[Letters page (Marvel UK)|letters page]], Impactor transformed into an "earth-boring vehicle". In the letter page to [[Survival Run|issue #238]], Dreadwind clarified that he transformed into a drill tank but didn't have an earth mode. Later, in ''[[The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers|Last Stand of the Wreckers]],'' he transformed into a non-drill tank. Later still, but [[Chaos Theory Part 1|earlier in IDW's timeline]], he gained a drill replacement for his hand.
*In the Marvel comics, Impactor's right hand can be interchanged for a harpoon. This emulates the wrist-launcher gimmick found in many ''[[Diaclone]]''-based toys. He is frequently seen carrying a club which looks an awful lot like a gun barrel, and which may be a gun attachment for his right arm; but being Impactor, he only ever uses it to smack guys around.
*Impactor was the one Wrecker in ''Last Stand'' who was ''never'' going to die! <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9DPbginVXE Moonbase 2's AA2010 interview], 21:22</ref>
*[[Remain in Light 3 of 5: The Divided Self|''More than Meets the Eye'' #19]] revealed that all the Aequitas defendants were [[Reproduction#2005 IDW continuity|"constructed cold"]]: their sparks taken from the Matrix itself and slapped into a body.

*In IDW's original Generation 1 continuity, Impactor was once a friend of Megatron, and later gains the nickname Kiloton. In reference to this, "[[Ask Vector Prime]]" christened [[Kiloton|Megatron's unnamed friend]] from the ''Generation 2'' manga "Kiloton".

Decepticon Vengeance Division

2022-05-10T15:27:09Z

{{disambig2|the Decepticon battle fleet|the digital media format ''DVD''|Home video}}
:''The Decepticon Vengeance Division is a <s>suicide mission</s> group from the [[2005 IDW continuity|IDW portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Unicron2-DecepticonVengeanceDivision.jpg|thumb|upright=2.8|Bludgeon takes inspiration from Grant Morrison.]]

The '''Decepticon Vengeance Division''' is a [[Decepticon]] battle fleet formed for vengeance. That's what [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] says, anyway, and you can trust ''him'', right?

==Fiction==
===2005 IDW continuity===
After end of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], there were many Decepticons scattered across the galaxy who refused to return to a peacetime [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] under [[Autobot]] or [[NAIL|neutral]] rule. Their scattered cells formed an impromptu intelligence network, watching and waiting for a call to arms. [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]], anticipating an inevitable existential threat, tasked [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] with assembling the Decepticon remnants into an organized fighting force, {{storylink|Stranger Eons}} unaware that he was once again playing into [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave's]] goals, the cyclopean scientist having need of the massive fleet to rebuild the [[Decepticon Empire]]. {{storylink|Road's End}} {{storylink|Assembly (Unicron)|Assembly}}

When Bludgeon had unified all the cells, they came with an impressive fleet of warships, including [[Worldsweeper]]s, [[Warworld|War Worlds]], [[Worldburner]]s, and every other type of Decepticon capital ship ever built.

When [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] began attacking the [[Cybertronian colonies]], Bludgeon led his newly-formed Vengeance Division into combat, pinpointing the elusive planet-eater's location through the DVD's intelligence network. Using a [[stasis web]] developed by Bludgeon to keep their foe from escaping, they blasted Unicron with all the world-destroying firepower they possessed... to no effect, as this was a ruse; Bludgeon proving to be secretly in league with the Chaos-Bringer. Not only did the Decepticon Vengeance Division's firepower fail to make a dent in their opponent, but Unicron simply teleported out of the web, and Bludgeon subsequently welcomed Unicron's supporters, the [[Maximal]]s, aboard his flagship. {{storylink|Stranger Eons}}

Now allied with Unicron, the Decepticon Vengeance Division accompanied him to Cybertron, its ships and crews both jaggedly mutated into new Maximal-like forms via the power of [[Ore-11]]. The ragtag [[Autobot fleet]] defending Cybertron moved to engage them, but quickly proved to be no match for the DVD's might. Bludgeon's lead Worldsweeper duelled [[Vigilem|Carcer]] and took it to pieces; when [[Victorion]] boarded it, seeking to cut off the Division's head, Bludgeon simply summoned [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]] and had her dismembered. Though the DVD had annihilated all resistance, a significant number of their ships had been destroyed, including all their Warworlds. Once the Autobot ships had been destroyed, the DVD stood by as Unicron began ripping Cybertron apart. {{storylink|Our Finest}}

Once Unicron had destroyed the planet, the DVD quantum jumped to [[Jupiter]] where they opened fire on [[Sanctuary Station]], destroying it completely. {{storylink|Road's End}}

As a result of the [[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]]'s removal from Cybertron, Unicron had not died with the Transformer homeworld. Once Shockwave had found the artifact's new resting point, he hailed the DVD to send a squad of Maximals to retrieve it and kill Unicron themselves. Bludgeon chose this moment however to announce his loyalty to the Chaos Bringer, deploying the Maximals from his Worldsweeper to retrieve the artifact so that Unicron could consume [[Earth]] with no risk to himself. No sooner had they been dispatched did the combined forces of Cybertron, Earth, and [[Elonia]] mount a direct assault on Bludgeon's flagship... all so [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s group could sneak past the fleet with the Talisman and destroy Unicron. {{storylink|Assembly (Unicron)|Assembly}} Caught off-guard, the depleted DVD soon fell to the might of the army with only the flagship Worldsweeper managing to slip past the enemy line and begin an attack on Earth where it violently crash landed. {{storylink|Ceremony}}

'''An evil Ultra Magnus and his army invade an unwitting alternate universe, threatening all existence.'''

==Synopsis==
''Eight hours ago in the "[[Primax -408.24 Epsilon|Shatteredverse]]," on the prison planet of [[Paradron]], [[Ultra Magnus (SG)|Ultra Magnus]] escapes from his cell with his forces, slaughters most of the prison staff, and opens up comms to his brother, [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]], gloating that his time as a petty little tyrant is up. [[Ironhide (SG)|Ironhide]], loyal to the end, crawls towards Magnus to try and stop him, but Magnus simply blasts him apart. [[Wheeljack (SG)|Wheeljack]] opens up the [[stellar spanner]] portal, and Magnus leaves, telling Prime that he was always their [[Alpha Trion (SG)|father]]'s favorite. Enraged but unable to follow, Prime activates Paradron's distress beacon, knowing that one Decepticon can do his work for him...''

Now, on the "[[Primax 207.0 Epsilon|Classicsverse]]" [[Earth]], the Autobots get to work repairing the [[Ironworks (facility)|Ironworks]] base in [[Oregon]] after the recent attack by [[Overlord (G1)|Gigatron]] and his Decepticons. [[Rad (G1)|Rad]] and [[Metalhawk (G1)|Metalhawk]] are inside reporting on the attack to other Autobot bases throughout the world, when alarm klaxons begin to go out. [[Kick-Off (G1)|Kick-Off]] reports that something's in the sky, and the Autobots watch as what appears to be a [[space bridge]] portal opens. Rad tells Metalhawk to wait inside, as he prepares for whatever comes through.

Outside, three strange worm creatures come through the portal and bite down on [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]], [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]], and [[Slapdash (G1)|Slapdash]], spreading a virus that turns them into [[Junkion (species)|Junkion]]s. The Junkions proceed to attack their former friends, as Magnus and his forces exit through the portal. Magnus orders Wheeljack to find the [[Rarified Energon|Rarefied Energon]] and set up their equipment, as he and the others deal with the rest of the heroic Autobots of this world. Soon, the Junkions claim [[Mainframe (G1)|Mainframe]], [[Outback (G1)|Outback]], and [[Rollout (G1)|Rollout]] as well, leaving only Kick-Off and Rad. The two rush to get inside, but before they can, Rad is knocked down by a Junkion. Reacting before they can transform them as well, Rad blasts the door controls, locking it closed and saving Kick-Off. Kick-Off contacts Metalhawk, warning him of the danger outside, and heads to the armory to get some more firepower...

Carving his way into the base, Magnus concurs with [[Tracks (SG)|Tracks]] that the Autobots of this world are weak and pathetic. Metalhawk arrives with a group of Autobots to confront him, but Magnus rushes forward, cutting down [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]], [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Jazz]], [[Wheeljack (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Wheeljack]], and [[Warpath (G1)|Warpath]]. Magnus stands ready to cut down Metalhawk and [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]] as well, but another portal opens, disgorging [[Straxus (SG)|Straxus]], [[Octopunch (SG)|Octopunch]], [[Soundwave (SG)|Soundwave]], and Magnus' nemesis [[Treadshot (SG)|Treadshot]]. Treadshot confronts Magnus as the others take down the rest of the evil Autobots, but Magnus uses the stolen [[Terminus Blade]] to produce a blinding light, allowing him and the others to escape. Metalhawk demands for an explanation from the newcomers; Soundwave explains that they are from a mirror universe where the Autobots are good and the Decepticons are evil, and that they learned of this universe when [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Cliffjumper]] was accidentally transported to theirs. Treadshot explains that Magnus was once the most trusted general of his world's Optimus Prime, only to be mutilated and imprisoned when he attempted a coup. Allying with the rogue [[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus Prime]], Magnus obtained a new body, and opened a portal to this world. The Decepticons soon discovered this portal, and with Soundwave's abilities and some background information from Cliffjumper, they were able to track Magnus down. Treadshot and Metalhawk agree to team up, splitting up their forces; Octopunch and Scoop head off to find Wheeljack; Straxus, Soundwave, Metalhawk, and Kick-Off fight the Junkion horde; and Treadshot goes to track down Magnus. All the while, these newcomers are observed by [[Spinister (G1)|Spinister]], and soon reports back to Gigatron. Seeing an opportunity, Gigatron sends [[Skullgrin]] and [[Octopunch (G1)|Octopunch]] to steal the Rarefied Energon while the Autobots are distracted...

In the Rarefied Energon vaults, Wheeljack begins funneling up its energy to the surface, setting up a force field to prevent anyone from tampering with his work. After Wheeljack teleports back to Magnus, Skullgrin and the evil Octopunch rise out of the murky depths. Unfortunately for them, Scoop and the good Octopunch have also entered the vaults, and the four duke it out. Octopunch fights his evil counterpart, not realizing who he is, while Skullgrin attempts to take on Scoop, who disables both him and his [[Pretender]] shell. While Octopunch continues his fight, Scoop has [[Holepunch (G1)|Holepunch]] and [[Tracer (Targetmaster)|Tracer]] transform to help disable the machines, much to the [[Nebulan]]s chagrin.

Topside, Wheeljack finishes the final steps on his device. Treadshot confronts Magnus, but he's to late to stop him, as Magnus pushes the Terminus Blade into the machine. The reaction between the sword's power and the rarefied energon unleashes a massive rift in space time, causing havoc around the world. Autobots stationed in [[Japan]] and [[Canada]] help with rescue and evacuation attempts, while in [[South America]], [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Fortress Maximus]] gathers everyone he can on board. Underground, Octopunch knocks out his counterpart after finally realizing who it is, and attempts to help Scoop disable the shield. Unable to penetrate it, the two head back up, where Magnus fights both Treadshot and Kick-Off. The latter assumes that Magnus wants to bring more of his kind here with the rift, but Magnus proclaims he is doing quite the opposite; he's bring this world over into his universe! Hearing this, Soundwave rushes to the chamber where Wheeljack works. Before he can reach it, the Junkions surround him, bring him to his knees. Fortunately for him, an unlikely rescuer blasts them back; Gigatron and his Decepticons! Unwilling to let invaders from a dimension conquer a world that should belong to him, Gigatron defends Soundwave, allowing him to reach the chamber. Reading the energy output charts, Soundwave realizes there's no way to shut the portal down without harming the planet more. Wheeljack sneaks up on Soundwave as he's distracted, but Octopunch arrives just in time to save his friend, and when he mentions Wheeljack's force field, Soundwave gets an idea, relaying it to Treadshot. Unfortunately, Magnus realizes that he's stalling, and pushes forth to Soundwave's position. Luckily, Gigatron and Metalhawk's firepower combined manages to stop Magnus, allowing Soundwave to finish putting up a global forcefield. Magnus, however, laughs; it was ''never'' his intention to destroy Earth, at least not fully. He and his Autobots retreat, and the remaining Cybertronians gather. As they leave their universe behind, they watch as the Rarefied Energon's power destroyed their home dimension, leaving the Earth a relic of a dead universe. As they begin to orbit the native [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], the Autobots and Decepticons fear that this is only the beginning. Straxus, however, encourages them with his eloquent words, proclaiming that as long as they shall live, the battle against the darkness will never end.

==Notes==
*Characters mentioned but not seen include: Prime and Magnus' [[Alpha Trion (SG)|father]], [[Starscream (SG)|Starscream]], [[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus]], [[Unicron]], and [[Ravage (SG)|Ravage]].

===Continuity notes===
*Events for this story were set up in the bio cards of two of last year's [[BotCon 2011]] toys; Galvatron's bio made mention of returning stellar spanner activities, while [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]]'s made mention of a jailbreak on Paradron.
*Ultra Magnus was first mentioned in "[[Dungeons & Dinobots]]", and would be mentioned several times in the profiles of the 2009 Club magazine issues. He was specifically noted to be Prime's brother in "[[Eye in the Sky]]", and was said to be imprisoned on Paradron in [[Cyclonus (SG)|Cyclonus]]' profile in issue [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 29|#29]] of the Club magazine. This issue, however, is the first indication that Alpha Trion was Prime and Magnus' father. The Terminus Blade, meanwhile, was originally mentioned in "Dungeons & Dragons", which implicated that it was the ''Shattered Glass'' version of the [[Key to Vector Sigma]]. Treadshot mentions it was stolen from the [[Vaults of the Unknown]], which was originally mentioned in [[Scourge (SG)|Scourge]]'s online profile.
*When last seen chronologically, Wheeljack was seen hopping dimensions in "[[Generation 2: Redux]]", serving under Rodimus, leader of the rogue Autobot faction on Earth. Rodimus is specifically noted to have made an alliance with Magnus in this issue, allowing for Wheeljack to put his dimensional knowledge to use.
*Prime's new body (of which only his head is seen) gets no explanation here, but his toy bio establishes he got it after nearly being destroyed during a major offensive.
*Ironhide was last seen in "[[Reunification: Part 3]]", working on the creation of [[Omega Doom]]; Prime promised him a star system of his own to rule if Omega Doom was successful, and it looks like Ironhide received Paradron as a reward, despite Omega Doom ultimately being a failure. Sunstreaker, meanwhile, makes his first appearance in the modern day after showing up in several flashback sequences in the original "[[Shattered Glass (issue)|Shattered Glass]]" comic.
*The stellar spanner was originally depicted as being similar to the [[space bridge]] from ''The Transformers'' cartoon; Wheeljack has evidently upgraded into a small device capable of generating a portal. The Decepticons, who destroyed their Stellar Spanner system to prevent more incidents after Alpha Trion's defeat, use Soundwave to duplicate the portal's frequency.
*Slapdash was last seen as one of the Autobot casualties on [[Klo]] in the [[End of the Road! (US)|final issue]] of the original Marvel ''The Transformers'' comic, while Broadside, Sandstorm, and Outback were all last seen having rather randomly appeared among the Autobot's Earth forces nearly the middle of the comic. Rollout, meanwhile, made a brief cameo in [[Exodus!|issue #77]]. Kick-Off and Jackpot (whose fate is unseen) make their first appearances in the "Classicsverse" here.
*Of the Autobots appearing around the world:
**Vroom, Crossblades, and Skyhammer are based out in Japan inside Skyhammer's Ultra Pretender vehicle shell. All of them make their first appearances here, though an alternate universe Crossblades showed up in the apocalyptic future seen in [[Rhythms of Darkness!|#67]].
**In Canada, stationed on board the ''[[Ark II]]'' (replacing the original ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'', which was destroyed in "[[At Fight's End]]" after the Decepticons abandoned it) are Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Ratchet, Perceptor, Blaster, and Buster Witwicky. The former three were last seen in "At Fight's End"; Blaster was last seen with the Autobots stationed on Cybertron in the final issues of original comic; Perceptor was one of the many offlined by [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] (in his case, off-panel) in issue [[Dark Star|#50]]; and Buster was last seen in issue [[The Man in the Machine!|#51]], having returned to his normal life.
**In South America, Fortress Maximus and Spike Witwicky. The two were last seen in issue [[The Last Autobot?|#79]], the last remaining Autobot(s) on Earth.
*Metalhawk's security team includes Jazz and Wheeljack, last seen as part of Autobot forces on Cybertorn; Warpath and Tracks, both last seen in issue #50; and Scoop, last seen as part of the Autobot Resistance in issue [[Yesterday's Heroes!|#60]]. His partners, Holepunch and Tracer, did not show up with him, but that par for the course for all of the -Masters introduced after the [[Powermaster]]s.
*When last seen in "[[Transhuman]]", Soundwave was among the Decepticon Earthforce; evidently, he returned to Cybertron in the period between that story and "Reunification". Straxus, meanwhile, was offhandedly mentioned in the original "Shattered Glass" comic as a poet, consistent with his characterization here.
*Cliffjumper was transported to the "Shatteredverse" in the original "Shattered Glass" comic.
*Spinister was last seen among [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]'s crew, surrendering to the Autobots in issue [[All Fall Down|#66]]. His profile notes that he went missing in the intervening 20 years, before joining up with Octopunch and Stranglehold. Weirdwolf and Dreadwind, meanwhile, were last seen with [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]] in "[[Withered Hope]]".
*Cosmos makes a one panel cameo as one of the satellites orbiting Earth; he was last seen in issue #50, and was likely one of the many offlined by Starscream.
*Spider-Man last appeared in issue [[Prisoner of War!|#3]] of the original comic; by now he's ditched his [[Venom (Marvel)|symbiote]] suit for his original red and blue costume. Invisible Woman makes her first appearance in-continuity in this issue, although Spider-Man mentioned her team, the [[Fantastic Four]], in issue #3. Robot-Master, meanwhile, was last seen retiring to his life as Donny Finkleberg; evidently, in the years since, he's become a full-fledged superhero.
*Octopunch proclaims he survived the Unicron War, as seen in issue [[On the Edge of Extinction!|#75]]...which he did by cowering away. He also conveniently leaves out the fact that it was his fault Unicron awoke in the first place, as seen in issue [[The Primal Scream|#61]].
*Highlighted planets destroyed in the backlash include Cybertron, [[Nebulos]], [[Klo]] (final battleground of the original comic), and [[Hydrus Four]], origin of [[nucleon (substance)|nucleon]].

===Transformers references===
*Paradron was a planet of peace introduced in ''The Transformers'' episode "[[Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee]]". Here, it's a prison planet.
*The satellites surrounding Paradron have design elements and colors based on ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and ''Energon'' [[Shockblast]], both of whom have satellite alt-modes.
*Ironhide's death mirrors his positive universe [[Ironhide (G1)|counterpart]]'s death at the hands of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''; Ultra Magnus' quips "Such pitiful nonsense!" as he shoots him, mirroring Megatron's "Such heroic nonsense".
*Magnus and Prime's status as brothers, along with Alpha Trion being their father, serve in homage to their ''Robots in Disguise'' counterparts.
*Several characters are drawn and colored based on their Marvel Comics appearances, which had a more limited color palette than modern comics. These include:
**Broadside, who is drawn based on his original character model, based on a prototype of his toy.
**Slapdash, who is drawn with the head of his character model seen in ''[[The Transformers Universe]]'', which depicted him with a mouth as opposed to his toy's faceplate.
**Perceptor, who has his blue and red colors.
**Blaster, who has his alternate head seen throughout most of the Marvel run.
**Wheeljack, who has his simpler blue and red color scheme.
**Octopunch, who has his yellow torso.
*Ratchet's body is based on his ''Universe'' toy, in those colors rather than the ''Henkei'' ones he has in "At Fights End".
*The scenes where the Junkions reformat the Autobots is based on the way [[Unicron]] reformatted the Decepticons in ''The Transformers: The Movie'' (a wireframe model followed by horizontal lines covering the body and reshaping it).
*A few [[Furmanism]]s (lines often used by writer [[Simon Furman]] in his work) show up this issue:
**Metalhawk plays it straight, telling Ultra Magnus that his assault "cannot-'''will not'''-succeed."
**Wheeljack tells Magnus to "sow the eddy!", reversing the standard "reap the whirlwind!"
**Magnus proclaims that his time is about to "start! Begin!" reversing the usual "over! Finished!"
**Treadshot shouts that Ultra Magnus is "like a small, herbivorous shrew", flipping the usual "like a large, predatory bird."
**Straxus plays it straight as well, proclaiming that as long as he lives, the battle against evil "never ends".
*As Ultra Magnus cuts most of the security team down, he proclaims that he "can deal with" any of the Autobots, paralleling his positive-universe [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|counterpart]]'s famous line from ''The Transformers: The Movie'', "I can't deal with that now!"
*Treadshot and Magnus' rivalry mirrors that of their counterparts from the ''Universe'' "Battle in a Box" two-pack. Magnus's body in the flashback is even repurposed from his counterpart's toy.
*Accompanying Prime in the flashback sequence is Jetfire (repurposed from the ''Henkei'' [[Jetfire (G1)|Dark Skyfire]] toy, and what is apparently an early appearance of [[Stepper (SG)|Stepper]], who, like [[Ricochet (SG)|Ricochet]] before him, is negative-universe version of ''Headmasters'' [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Ricochet/Stepper]]. Here he's depicted with the body of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Jazz (G1)/toys|Jazz]], and in [[BotCon 2015]], that toy would be redecoed in Stepper for the boxset, albeit with different colors.
*Cosmos has been upgraded to his ''Universe'' Legends Class body.
*The van Vroom helps excavate in Japan is colored after the "Quantum Operative" [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] toy, sold with [[Screech (Generations)|Screech]] as part of a two-pack mail away exclusive with the third volume of ''[[Transformers Generations 2009]]''.
*Other cameos in Canada include: ''1-2-3 Transformers'' firetruck Rescue Roy; ''Classics'' versions of ''Animated'' [[Isaac Sumdac (Animated)|Isaac]] and [[Sari Sumdac (Animated)|Sari Sumdac]]; and ''Robots in Disguise'' Kelly, in her racing girl outfit from the ''Binaltech Asterisk'' toyline; she standing underneath Sunstreaker, whom she was sold with.
*As Ultra Magnus prepares to ram Soundwave, the Decepticon's reflection is visible in his vehicle mode grill, in reference to the shot from ''The Transformers: The Movie'' where Soundwave's positive-universe [[Soundwave (G1)|counterpart]] was reflected in [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s grill.
*The framing of Straxus in the final panel homages Optimus Prime on the final panel of issue #66 of the Marvel ''The Transformers'' comic

===Real-world references===
*The Junkions are obvious pastiches of the {{w|Borg}} of ''[[Star Trek]]'' fame. Ultra Magnus and Tracks quip that the Autobot's resistance is "clearly futile", continuing the Borg references, this time to their signature "catchphrase".
*Rollout uses the swear "smeg", originating from British sci-fi comedy television series ''{{w|Red Dwarf}}''.
*Spider-Man and Invisible Woman make tiny, legal-trouble avoiding cameos as part of the evacuation team in Canada. Also visible is [[Simon Furman]], standing in a damaged building holding what is presumably a script.
*As storms threaten Earth's existence, modern-day Central/South Americans (see "Errors" below) worry their ancestors were right about [[2012]], in reference to the supposed "{{w|2012 phenomenon|2012 apocalypse}}".
*Soundwave claims he cranked the forcefield's power "up to eleven thousand percent", in reference to the line from the 1984 mockumentrary ''{{w|This Is Spinal Tap}}''.

===Errors===
*Lotsa missing commas and some comma splices. Example: "I am one of Gigatron's personal guards, you have no hope of defeating Octopunch!"
*Wheeljack is commanded to "''hone'' in on the rarified energon.", which, despite somewhat common usage in this context, is non-standard. It should be "''home'' in", like a ''homing'' missile does.
*On page 13, SG Octopunch has purple Decepticon symbols.
*Fortress Maximus is said to be stationed in [[South America]], but the civilians he rescues speak in Yucatec Maya, which is a language spoken on the Yucatán Peninsula and in Belize, which are in North/Central America.

===Other trivia===
*The convention edition cover came about because [[User:Monzo|someone]] linked the organizers to a ComicsAlliance article about Dave Perillo's work via Twitter.<ref>https://twitter.com/Monzo12782/status/146764169339863040</ref>

Prime VS The Zombie Cons

2022-05-01T14:06:56Z

CementB mixerB:

[[Image:Kre-O Prime VS The Zombie Cons title.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Groovy.]]
'''''Prime VS The Zombie Cons''''' is an online game tying in with the [[Kre-O]] toyline. It was made available on [[Hasbro]]'s web site in [[2011]].

==Plot==
[[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]] is tasked with single-handedly defending [[Phoenix (city)|Phoenix]] from a horde of incoming [[Zombie Con]]s. The other [[Autobot]]s occasionally para-drop supplies to assist him.

==Gameplay==
The game is a side-scrolling shooter, in which the player moves Optimus using the keyboard and aims using the mouse. Optimus is limited to the area between the Phoenix sign and a large puddle of unidentified green liquid over which the zombies approach. If the zombies get past Optimus and reach the other side of the play area, some portion of the Phoenix population is zombified and Optimus will find he has zombies coming at him from both directions.

Optimus wields the traditional zombie-fighting weapons — a pistol, a shotgun, a submachine gun, a heavy machine gun, and a chainsaw bayonet attached to a non-functional pistol. There are no limits placed on the amount of ammo Optimus can carry, but each weapon has a clip which forces Optimus to spend time reloading when it is exhausted. Optimus starts with 100 "spark", which goes down when he's hit by a zombie, and up when he grabs a health pack.

The zombies come in waves, and have four types: slow-moving legless crawling zombies, slow-moving organic zombies (sometimes), faster-moving walking zombies, and two freakin' zombies built into a car.

|c2=
*[[Zombie Con]]s (2)
*[[Zombie Con]]s (3)
*[[Zombie Con]]s (4)
*Is there no end to these [[Zombie Con]]s?! (5)
}}

==Notes==
*The zombies resemble [[Shockwave (Kre-O)|Shockwave]] minus his helmet. It's unclear why, but it's possible it's yet another of Shockwave's experiments run amok.
*There appear to be two versions of the game.
**The version at Hasbro.com seems to be an earlier version, having no high scores, no apparent population on the counter of the Phoenix road sign, giving a standard gunfire sound for the pistol, using a grunting sound for when Prime is attacked, playing the sound of a woman screaming whenever a zombie reaches Phoenix, and featuring the organic zombie. The "Play again" button for the Hasbro version links to the KRE-O Nation version.
**The KRE-O Nation version appears to be a later version, having high scores, a functional population counter (starting at "300") on the road sign, giving the pistol a laser sound effect, using an impact sound for when Prime is attacked, and omitting both the organic zombie and the screaming.
*Regardless of which version is played, the zombified, er, zombies that appear from Phoenix always seem to be the walking, non-organic type.
*Even if the population of Phoenix downs to zero, the game still continues.

Destruction Mini-Con Team

2022-04-17T11:38:56Z

{{Factions|minicon}}
{{disambig2|the Mini-Con Team|the Bruticus Maximus combiner team|Destruction Team}}
[[File:Bios card destruction.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|We hate EVERYBODY.]]
The '''Destruction Mini-Con Team''' do not play well with others. Though their destructive capabilities land them in the hands of the [[Decepticon]]s more often than not, they despise all [[Bulk]]s, and are fierce in their goal of [[Mini-Con]] independence. So fierce that they are willing to sacrifice anyone, even their own, for their goal.

They are also sometimes known as the '''Road Wrecker Team'''.

The Destruction Mini-Con Team is composed of...

*[[Buzzsaw (Armada)|Buzzsaw]] the bucket-wheel excavator.
*[[Drill Bit (Armada)|Drill Bit]] the tunneling machine.
*[[Dualor (Armada)|Dualor]] the Gepard anti-aircraft tank.

==Fiction==
===''Armada'' cartoon===
The Destruction team acted as a full team for the first time in a plan set up by [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]. They sent a signal to the [[Earth]]-bound Mini-Cons and later helped Megatron lead the Autobots on a chase while teleporting. They fired at [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] until a decided moment and then turned their attack on Megatron, defecting to the Autobot side. {{storylink|Vow}}
{{groupstub|{{storylink|Union}}}}

===Dreamwave ''Armada'' comic===
Drill Bit and the rest of the Destruction Team ''appeared'' to have been among the many mini-cons that were captured, experimented on, and enslaved by the [[Decepticon]]s during the attack on [[Cyber City]], and as such didn't get to evacuate [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] alongside most other Mini-Cons. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 2|Armada #2}} Thankfully, this wasn't really the case, as they were on the [[Exodus (Armada)|escape vessel]] when it crashed on [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|moon]]. Led by [[Dualor (Armada)|Dualor]], the Mini-Cons on the Moon constructed a [[Mini-Con Moonbase|fortress base]] where they could live in peace, then summoned the Mini-Cons on Earth to join them. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 9|Armada #9}} To deter the [[Autobot]]s from trying to rescue their friends, they stuffed [[Rad White]] into an orbital mine to keep them from attacking the moonbase. While overseeing the defenses during the Decepticons' inevitable assault, [[Leader-1 (Armada)|Leader-1]] suddenly attacked them. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 10|Armada #10}} The Destruction Team were knocked unconscious and were helpless to resist when [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] showed up and captured them. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 11|Armada #11}}

The Destruction Team didn't give up so easily, though. By activating a failsafe program, they overloaded the Decepticons with power and saved themselves from being used against their will. This allowed Dualor to strike a deal with Megatron: They'd lend the Decepticons their strength in exchange for some degree of leadership. Megatron accepted and handed them to [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], whom they promptly drove insane with power anyway. {{storylink|Fire & Ice}} Megatron mused that he knew that the Mini-Cons would betray him, then retrieved them alongside the unconscious Cyclonus. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 13|Armada #13}}

The Destruction Team were subsequently punished via [[Punishment Cube]]. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 1 of 4}} They were not among the Decepticon-held Mini-Cons released to join the fight against [[Unicron]]. Megatron was vague on their fate, simply saying that the Decepticons were "better off without them". {{storylink|The End}}

* A team of miscolored Mini-Cons based on the Destruction Team in the first two issues of [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]]'s ''Armada'' comic is apparently '''not''' the real Destruction Team; this trio was left behind on Cybertron when everyone else escaped, and never seen again.

* [[Simon Furman]] has said in the [[letters page]] of "[[Multiplicity, Pt. 3]]" that it can be assumed that [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] strapped the Destruction Team to a rocket and fired them into the sun, in regards to their ambiguous fate in the ''Armada'' comic.

:''Thunder Clash is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:G1thunder clash boxart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Feel the magic, hear the roar.]]
'''Thunder Clash''' (also '''Thunderclash''') is the powerful, intelligent commander-in-chief of the Autobot [[Turbomaster]]s. Fearless in battle and keen in strategy, he is a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, his mere appearance sapping the fighting spirit from [[Decepticon]] forces. He commands the respect of the Autobots under his authority and the fear of the Decepticon [[Predator (subgroup)|Predators]] they fight against. Thunder Clash worries not about the air superiority of the Predators, believing that by standing as one, the Turbomasters will be able to resist anything that's thrown at them.
[[2019 IDW continuity|In one universe]] he even leads the elite Autobot squadron known as the [[Wreckers]]!

What a guy!

[[File:G1Thunder clash cataloguecomic.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|Thunder Clash, ho!]]
During a Decepticon Predator attack on the Autobot base, [[Skyquake (G1)|Skyquake]] gazed into his Supersight as he was about to join the battle. Suddenly, "into his Supersight view looms a menacing shape that strikes terror even into his hardened heart..." {{storylink|Predator Air Attack!}}

Presumably, Thunder Clash and Skyquake fought after this overly dramatic prose.

Thunder Clash (or possibly [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|one particular Optimus Prime]]) was one of several Transformers from all eras and all realities across the [[multiverse]] suggested by [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] for [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] to recruit into his [[Child of Primus|Children of Primus]]. Optimus Primal decided to pluck [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] and [[Depth Charge (BW)|Depth Charge]] back from death instead. {{storylink|Homecoming (Universe)|Homecoming}}

===''Wings Universe''===
[[File:WingsofHonor-shipslog.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|That's ''Captain'' Eyesore to you, pal!]]
Nine million years ago, Thunderclash was originally a merchant, until his ship was taken hostage by the ''[[Fright and Bones]]'' Decepticon vessel. After a daring rescue in which he safely freed all seven of his comrades from enemy hands, Thunderclash enlisted into the military. He had difficulty putting up with his drill instructors barking orders at him all day long, and nearly resigned from the military, only for fate to intervene once more. On his way to his superior officer's quarters, he found the officer murdered, and came to grips as to why his training had been so extreme; to prevent the same fate from befalling himself. Thunderclash often drilled the mechs under his command in the ways of battle, even though his ship, the ''[[Eight Track (G1)|Eight Track]]'', was stationed on the outer rim of the galaxy. His quick and powerful mind and the ease with which he commanded respect made him an ideal mentor for new recruits. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 40|Thunderclash's profile in Club magazine #40}}

One such recruit, a young Autobot named [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]], was on board the ''Eight Track'' when the ship was hailed by Commander [[Magnum]] of [[Autobot High Command]]. An important cargo hauler, the ''[[Van De Graaff]]'', was shot down by persons unknown over the planet [[Beta-Nine]]. Since Decepticons were suspected, Thunderclash's team was ordered to retrieve the ship's precious cargo before the enemy could get their hands on it.

Indeed, the Decepticons were waiting for the ''Eight Track'' when it arrived, and the ''Eight Track'' was forced to make a crash landing. Though [[Landshark (G1)|Landshark]] managed the landing with no casualties, the wiseass old mech began sowing seeds of uncertainty and fear. Thunderclash shot Landshark down quickly, reminding him at length that, as Autobots, it didn't matter how many Decepticons there were or how hopeless the situation was—all that mattered was the cargo they were sent after. After leaving their ship's wreck behind them, the four Autobots were suddenly attacked by a fleet of [[Seeker (body-type)|Skyraider]]s led by [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzai-Tron]]. Immediately, Kup was separated from them, but Thunderclash ordered that the young Autobot was on his own while the team found proper cover.

[[File:WingsofHonor-headsup.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|All aboard the yuck truck!]]
While the Decepticons were momentarily distracted, Thunderclash told [[Flak (G1)|Flak]] to radio Kup to meet him at the ''Van De Graaff''. On the way, Thunderclash hoped he could divert a few of the Decepticons away from the other two. Unfortunately, Thunderclash wasn't able to land a shot on the Decepticon that followed him, and he arrived at Kup's position at the ''Van De Graaff'' without being able to rid himself of Skyquake, and now also having Banzai-Tron and Gaihawk to deal with. Kup, however, had an idea. He set a blaster to "overload", placed it in a container, and offered it to Banzai-Tron as terms of their surrender. After it exploded, Banzai-Tron woke up to find Thunderclash holding his mortar launcher at his head.

Shortly thereafter, a recovery team arrived to take Thunderclash's crew, their Decepticon prisoners, and the cargo back home. By the time they had returned to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], the war had officially begun. Commander Magnum, in response to the bravery of Thunderclash's crew, were inducted into a special new Autobot military unit, the [[Elite Guard]]. {{storylink|Wings of Honor}}

A few years later, Thunderclash's team joined with [[Metalhawk (G1)|Metalhawk]]'s team to battle a horde of [[Virulent Clone]]s. The two teams of Elite Guardsmen were victorious. Magnum contacted Thunderclash to let him know that their R&R was being cut short, and Thunderclash's team proceeded to [[Space Port Bravo]], where they were assigned the ship ''[[Beast With Wings]]''. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 2}}

[[File:BattleLines4-MagnumThunderclash.jpg|thumb|Thunderclash changes dialect every other panel, just to keep you guessing.]]

The squad was returning to Elite Guard HQ in the ''Beast With Wings'', when they discovered that they were unable to raise anyone on the ground. Thunderclash reacted in disbelief as Kup reported a newsfeed that HQ had been attacked by [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] and pretty much everyone had been killed. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 6}} Thunderclash and the other surviving members of the Elite Guard joined Magnum at the [[Autobot High Council Citadel]] intending to show the Council that the Guard was still functional. Thunderclash thought that [[Dion (G1)|Dion]] should be resting from his injuries, but Dion asserted he really had to be there to support Magnum. As it turned out, the Council were busy appointing [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] as the leader of a new Autobot military anyway. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 1}}

Not to be outdone, Magnum took the Elite Guard to find [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]]'s base, first stopping off at the Elite Guard [[Auxiliary Weapons Locker]] for guns and a few extra troops. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 2}} It wasn't long before they were attacked by Deathsaurus's troops, including [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]], the Combaticons and Deathsaurus himself. Thunderclash instructed the others to keep between the Combaticons so they couldn't merge, and traded blows with [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] while [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] tried to taunt him over his failure to be in time to help defend Elite Guard HQ. As the Combaticons merged, they were promptly blasted, and Thunderclash could only stare at the newcomers. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 3}} He came to the aid of Magnum, sending [[Lyzack (G1)|Lyzack]] flying with a punch after she damaged Magnum with her sword. He was helping Magnum up when they were again faced with Deathsaurus, however this time [[Sprocket (G1)|Sprocket]] jumped in to save them. In the aftermath of the battle, Thunderclash asked Magnum what they'd do next, but Magnum decided they needed to return to base for repairs. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 4}}

Back at base, he, Big Bang, and Dion wondered why the [[Gyronian Sentry|Gyronian Sentry Team]] hadn't arrived with the Combaticons yet, only to discover that the Sentry Team had been AWOL for the last decacycle. A week later, Thunderclash was at the walls when the Decepticons attacked the city with their new weapon [[Devastator (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Devastator]]. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 5}} When Kup recalled an earlier adventure they'd had on [[Derelictus Five]], he and Thunderclash attempted the same maneuver on Devastator albeit unsuccessfully. Their actions inspired Dion, and eventually the battle was won. As the war continued and Cybertron ran dangerously low on energy, many of the Autobots voluntarily went into stasis until others returned to re-energize the planet, but Thunderclash remained online. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 6}}

Thunderclash and Kup's [[Cybertron Defense Team (G1)|Cybertron Defense Team]] valiantly fought [[Shockwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Shockwave]]'s forces but were ultimately forced offworld. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 44|Jhiaxus profile in Club magazine #44}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[Little Victories|''More Than Meets The Eye'' #22]]}}

[[File:LittleVictories-Thunderclash.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Smoke me a kipper. I'll be back for breakfast.]]
Thunderclash is better and more noble than you are. Among his great feats:

*Thunderclash helped [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ratchet]] pass his medical exams. {{storylink|Little Victories}}
*Thunderclash formed the [[Thunderclash School of Heroic Arts]], where he was teacher, mentor, and friend to the almost-as-heroic [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]]. {{storylink|The Sensuous Frame}}
*Thunderclash carried the [[Matrix of Leadership]] for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] during his first sabbatical. It was said the Matrix had to be surgically removed, so pleased it was with its host. {{storylink|Little Victories}}

[[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] tried to kill Thunderclash several times throughout the war. In one particular battle, Thunderclash fought with [[Tarn (DJD)|Damus]]. {{storylink|Shining Armor issue 3|Shining Armor #3}} {{storylink|The Sensuous Frame}} After the fall of [[Grindcore (prison)|Grindcore]], Thunderclash was shot through the spark. {{storylink|The Sensuous Frame}} To survive, he was hooked up to a gigantic life-support machine, which he eventually converted into a spaceship, the ''[[Vis Vitalis]]''. As it wirelessly powered him, he had to remain in close proximity to it at all times.

Once the war was over, Thunderclash turned his pursuits towards rediscovering the lost [[Knights of Cybertron]] with a brave crew and his First Officer [[Paddox]]. {{storylink|Little Victories}} Their journey was driven by dreams he had, each new one pointing them further in the right direction. {{storylink|The Sensuous Frame}} During their voyage, they came upon the colony planet of [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]], and its residents, the Camiens, distant relatives of Cybertronians. Three Camiens, [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]], [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], and [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]], joined them in their mission, {{storylink|A 'Bot and Her City}} before soon departing with [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] to repair a wounded [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. {{storylink|Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8|Burning Bright}}

[[File:LittleVictories MagnusThunderclashHug.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.8|Is that a new suit you're wearing? Why, it's sharper than a page of Oscar Wilde witticisms that have been rolled up into a point, sprinkled with lemon juice and jabbed into someone's eye.]]
Some time later, his ship was damaged while "rescuing some orphans from an exploding sun," so he sought the ''[[Lost Light]]'' for a quantum jump to his engines. While on board, he happily reunited with Ratchet, commended [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ultra Magnus]] on his article on the [[Autobot Code]] (particularly the interrelationship between typography and military justice), and bonded with [[Drift (G1)|Drift]] via his spiritualism. However, Paddox took this opportunity to reveal himself. Paddox was really a pair of [[Ammonite]]s posing as a Transformer, and now that the tide of his race's war had turned, he was charged with taking what valuables he could and returning home with them—namely, the ''Lost Light'''s quantum engines. He was quickly dispatched with a quick blow to the head and Thunderclash's ship was subsequently restored. Before Thunderclash returned to his quest, he signed an autograph for [[Rung (G1)|Rung]] and expressed his condolences to [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rodimus]], for now the ''Lost Light'' would be crippled in its own quest to find the Knights of Cybertron. He assured Rodimus that should he find the Knights first, he would tell them that he owed his success to Rodimus and his crew. {{storylink|Little Victories}}

Later, Ultra Magnus would scold Rodimus for his immature reaction to Thunderclash. {{storylink|Remain in Light 5 of 5: This Calamitous Life|This Calamitous Life}}

[[File:SensuousFrame-ThunderClash.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.45|I fought in the Belalugosian War. I was decorated, and used as a [[Christmas]] tree in the town square where people came and fed me cherry liqueur chocolates for the whole winter.]]
Following the loss of his half of the Matrix of Leadership along with the map it contained, Rodimus planned to seek out Thunderclash for help in finding the Knights of Cybertron. When Rodimus sarcastically made reference to "the greatest Autobot of all time", Optimus Prime ''immediately'' understood he was talking about Thunderclash. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 1: Towards Peace|Towards Peace}}

He saved a stranded Camien ship and inducted [[Firestar (G1)|Firestar]], [[Velocity (G1)|Velocity]], and their chums into the ''Vitalis''. Unfortunately they unwittingly brought an infestation on with them: [[personality tick]]s, emotive parasites who began to feast on Thunderclash's charisma. To keep him going, one of them fixed his spark wound (and was remembered as a passing doctor nobody could remember any details of). {{storylink|The Frail Gaze}} For six months afterwards, Thunderclash went from being fine to slowly getting worse. All he did before succumbing to [[rigor morphis]] was scratch out what appeared to be a map to [[Cyberutopia]] on the wall with a scalpel, based on a dying vision. The news went out and many, including Countdown, came to pay their respects in a "pre-wake".

[[File:Thunderclash TheFrailGaze.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|There'll be time for explanations later, and hopefully- some sex.]]
What he could tell, and that nobody else could, was that the ship was riddled with the cloaked personality ticks: he even witnessed them attack his old student Countdown. When the ''Lost Light'' arrived and [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] monitored his life signs, he began shutting himself down selectively to make his life signs appear as a ''grammatically correct'' message: "Y0 u're all 3L1N D [[:File:Shockwavearealldead.jpg|All DEaD]]. {{storylink|The Sensuous Frame}} Once the ticks broke cover, Thunderclash—through sheer ''heroism''—transformed to hold the monsters back so others could escape. The short speech he gave while fighting them was so intensely noble that it ''hurt'' the ticks, giving a clue to their nature and ultimate defeat.

Once the infestation was stopped, Thunderclash was healed of his terminal injuries and no longer needed the ''Vitalis'', though he still needed some time to recover. He and some of his crew joined the ''Lost Light''. {{storylink|The Frail Gaze}}

[[File:SpeakMemoryPt2 ThunderclashInsideOut.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.3|This is my best top, damn it!]]
Thunderclash was soon up and about and made his way to ''[[Swerve's]]''. There he was asked by [[Getaway]] and [[Atomizer]] if he would stand with them in a mutiny against Megatron. Much to their shock, Thunderclash quickly agreed. Sometime after however, he relapsed and fell back into stasis. {{storylink|The Plotters' Club (Part 2): Filling in the Blanks|Filling in the Blanks}}

A spark-energy blast from [[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]] woke Thunderclash from his coma {{storylink|Speak, Memory: Part 1}} just in time to help save the ''Light'' from [[Sunder (G1)|Sunder, the Tetrahex Ripper]]. Thunders and [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] drove the killer away from Rung and Tailgate and pursued him all the way to his [[Sceptre|corpse-ship]], where the hero dissed him for suddenly dropping his spoooooky voice. In response, the killer turned Thunderclash inside out! Thankfully, he recovered after Sunder was defeated. {{storylink|Speak, Memory! (Part 2)}}

While some members of the crew were taking advantage of temporal fissures in Swerve's to look on the past, Thunderclash and Velocity were having a conversation with Firestar over the comms.{{storylink|No Guns, No Swords, No Briefcases}}

Thunderclash took part in a battle on Millarium, fighting alongside Ultra Magnus. Later, he was present for Megatron's lecture on pre-Functionist folklore, where they discussed the Knights, and in particular the strange gear symbol they kept encountering.

[[File:FillingInTheBlanks GetawayNudgeGunsThunderclash.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.3|'Fraid I'm going to have to do something a bit sissy now...black out.]]
A few hours later, Megatron, Rodimus and their supporters were marooned on the Necrobot's planet, as part of [[Getaway]]'s mutiny. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light: (1) How Bright Their Frail Deeds|How Bright Their Frail Deeds}} Thunderclash walked onto the bridge as Getaway made his dramatic monologue to Team Rodimus and joined the crew in grilling Getaway about the "visitors" he had mentioned.

At a team meeting, regarding the [[Warren]], Thunderclash scribbled some extra clan markings onto Rodimus's map to [[Cyberutopia]], before a distress signal came in from [[Frayus]] which Getaway claimed would only be a "distraction". An incensed Thunderclash snapped at Getaway, only to be interrupted by a transmission from Rodimus announcing the stranded crew mates would soon be executed by the [[Decepticon Justice Division]]. His patience exhausted, Thunderclash demanded to know the truth, before declaring he was rounding up volunteers for a rescue mission... only for Atomizer to incapacitate him with an arrow. Getaway then emptied his [[nudge gun]] into Thunderclash, knocking him into stasis. As part of Getaway's deal with Froid and Sunder, Thunderclash was then placed within a memory loop where he relived the moments from the mutiny to his decision to find the stranded crew. {{storylink|The Plotters' Club (Part 2): Filling in the Blanks|Filling in the Blanks}}

[[File:JourneysEnd ThunderclashPunchesGetaway.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.45|In the decades that followed, Thunderclash searched countless realities and met thousands of different Getaways. However, he never encountered a Getaway as deeply sad and worthless as the one he'd met aboard the ''Lost Light''.]]
Thunderclash's body was then placed in the med-bay behind a locked door. Upon returning to the ''Lost Light'', seeing Thunderclash's state only served to increase [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]]'s mounting suspicions. Once the truth came out, Getaway confessed what had truly happened to Thunderclash before he placed the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] in the same loop. {{storylink|The Plotters' Club (Part 1): Full Circle|Full Circle}}

Riptide eventually awoke all those trapped in the loops. First Aid directed them all to the morgue to retrieve the corpse of [[Ambulon]] to serve as a substitute limb for [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. Thunderclash took point on the way to the shuttle bay before [[Mirage (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Mirage]] reported they would need Defensor. In the shuttle bay, Thunderclash charged right at Getaway, beating him down before he was shot from behind by [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]]. A repentant [[Atomizer]] shot Star Saber with the nudge gun, allowing Riptide and First Aid to drag Thunderclash onto Star Saber's ship and escape the ''Lost Light''. {{storylink|The Plotters' Club (Part 3): Journey's End|Journey's End}}

[[File:ADanceBeforeDying ThunderclashRecovered.jpg|right|thumb|upright=0.9|Well, I said I'd be back for breakfast... how're those kippers doing, fellas?]]
First Aid got Thunderclash fixed up on [[Troja Major]], and along the way they picked up the long lost [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] commander [[Grimlock (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Grimlock]] and the blacksmith [[Wipe-Out]], who had a Q-class ship. Following a tracker left on the ''Lost Light'', they caught up with it at [[Mederi]], only to find the crew had been turned into [[Sparkeater (creature)|Sparkeaters]] and were menacing Rodimus and his unit. The groups teamed up, and Thunderclash joined a squad aboard the Q-class cruiser to infiltrate the ''Lost Light'' and get at Getaway. When they arrived, Getaway opened the oil reservoir into the shuttle bay, exposing the group to [[Scraplet]]s. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 1): A Dance Before Dying|A Dance Before Dying}} Fortunately, [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] had previously formed a bond with these Scraplets, semi-domesticating them, which saved Thunderclash and the others. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 2): Lūstrāre|Lūstrāre}} With the Sparkeaters saved down on the planet, everyone regrouped aboard the retaken ''Lost Light''. They were confronted by the sheer scale of the [[Adaptus|Grand Architect]]'s schemes, a mysterious figure Getaway had thrown in with after discovering Cyberutopia was a sham. Thunderclash and the rest brought the ''Lost Light'' aboard the Architect's [[Worldsweeper]] as he continued to pull at threadbare space. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 3): Farsickness|Farsickness}}

When Megatron and the [[Anti-Vocationist League]] arrived from the [[Functionist Universe]] – while being chased by the [[Functionist Council]] and their reengineered version of Cybertron – Thunderclash was among those freed from the Grand Architect's Worldsweeper and brought aboard the [[Last Light (ship)|''Last Light'']], although Rodimus and some of the others were left behind. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}}

[[File:LL 24 Four Matrices.jpg|upright=1.6|thumb|left|Just concentrate! Feel the wind on your face; ''be'' the wind. Unleash the wild power you know lurks inside you. Be the cougar running free and unfettered through the mountains. See the cougar? It's ''you''; can you see it?]]
After discovering Rung's true nature as [[Primus]] and his ability to create [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrixes]], Thunderclash and the others quickly developed a plan to use twelve Matrixes to destroy the Functionist Council. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 5): The Unremembering|The Unremembering}} Once the Functionist Cybertron had been forced back into its planet form, Thunderclash headed down to the planet and took one of the Matrixes to the [[hot spot (phenomenon)|hot spot]] [[Automica]], with [[Spinister (G1)|Spinister]] providing cover fire for him. Although they were briefly overwhelmed by [[Functionary|Functionaries]], Thunderclash was eventually able to open his Matrix thanks to an uplifting speech from Rodimus, sending its energies surging into [[Vector Sigma]] and obliterating the Functionist Council. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 6): A Spark Among Embers|A Spark Among Embers}}

After joining the rest of the crew for one last "victory lap" aboard the ''Lost Light'', Thunderclash returned to the stars aboard his new ship the ''[[Exitus]]''. Thunderclash and his crew were in the [[Acklaw System]] when Rodimus took temporary leave to attend Ratchet's funeral. {{storylink|How To Say Goodbye And Mean It: Part 2}}

*'''Thunder Clash''' (Large Turbomaster, [[1992]])
**''Accessories:'' Gun, 12 missiles

:Thunder Clash transforms into a Cybertronian "cab-over" tractor-trailer. His trailer is armed with two spring-loaded, plunger-fired missile launchers. In robot mode, he uses a small handgun. His [[trailer]] unfolds to become a missile-launching assault tower equipped with "gravity-fed" missiles that descend and reload the launchers as soon as a round is fired.

:This toy also has an undocumented feature: the back of Thunder Clash's legs have notches in them that fit his handgun's "wings" for storage in vehicle mode.

:Unusually, [[Skyquake (G1)#Generation 1|Skyquake]], Thunder Clash, and the [[Motorvator]]s were all sold in Japan at the tail-end of 1992, after the original Japanese ''Transformers'' toyline had already ended. The toys were identical to their European releases–down to the packaging–except for some Japanese-language stickers on the boxes.

:Like Skyquake, Thunder Clash also has [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]], although his doesn't set in quite as fast as Skyquake's. Thunder Clash's feet tend to shatter at the ankle ratchet and the handgun's peg is prone to breaking off quite easily.

:This mold was [[retool]]ed into ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|Optimus Prime]]. This later version of the mold had a planned [[redeco]] as [[Menasor (G1)#Universe (2003)|Menasor]] in the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line, but was canceled.

He can also form the top or bottom half of a larger robot mode, compatible with any ''Energon'' Combat- or Mega-class Autobot combiner robot mold.

==Notes==
[[File:Thunderclash-Alex Milne-MTMTE.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8|(IDW Thunderclash concept art by [[Alex Milne]])]]
*According to ''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations Deluxe]]'', at one point there were plans to create a leader character who would have "stood above Thunder Clash"<ref>http://obscuretf.com/jhiaxus/toymerch/hyperdrive.htm</ref> in the 1992 ''Transformers'' assortment. This Autobot was to have been named "[[Hyperdrive (Turbomaster)|Hyperdrive]]", and design artwork labeled as such appears in ''Generations''. While Hyperdrive was never produced, he evidently got far enough along to appear in [[Skyquake (G1)|Skyquake]]'s Megavisor scope.
*Thunder Clash appears in vehicle mode on [[Talon (G1)|Talon]]'s [[Megavisor]] slide.
*In his ''Wings Universe'' stories, Thunderclash is written as speaking a "posh Southern accent". That official descriptor probably should have mentioned {{w|English language in southern England|southern ''England''}}, specifically, since for the longest time U.S. readers couldn't figure out why the apparently "Southern" Thunderclash said things like "mates" and "chaps".
*Like all non-toy robot Kreons in the ''Kre-O'' manga, Thunderclash is made from existing ''Kre-O'' parts. He uses the [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Sideswipe]] helmet, and the [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Jazz]] car-door backpack. He also carries the large, square-barreled rifle.
*A proposed [[Fun Publications]] [[BotCon]] [[exclusive]] was a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' Voyager Class [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)#Robots in Disguise|Ultra Magnus]] into Thunder Clash.<ref>[http://www.toycollectors.com.au/bc14/bc14br.html BotCon 2014 attendee report]</ref>

[[File:ROTF-toy SideswipeLegends.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Hey! I have real feet now!]]
*'''Sideswipe''' (Legends, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''EZ-06'''

: [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] Sideswipe transforms into a tiny Corvette Stingray concept car. As a Legends toy, he features a simplified transformation sequence that results in swords that consist entirely of door [[kibble]] and barely-noticeable reliefs of his wheel-feet.

:Prototype photos of the toy shows that his faux wheel-feet are painted. This toy was [[redeco]]ed into ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Swerve (Movie)|Swerve]].

*'''The Fury of Fearswoop''' (Figure multi-pack, 2009)

:A "battle damaged" deco version of Legends Sideswipe was available in the [[Walmart]]-exclusive "[[The Fury of Fearswoop]]" 3-pack together with a similarly "battle damaged" version of Legends [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] and Deluxe class [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]]. That the set uses a pair of Legends-class cars and a Deluxe-class jet means the toys are in a roughly-correct scale to each other... which is borked by the story, in which Fearswoop is supposedly much huger than normal thanks to some unnamed mystic artifact.

*'''Sideswipe''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-04'''

:Sideswipe transforms into a silver Corvette Stingray concept car. In this mode, he sits so low that it's difficult to roll him without scraping his undercarriage, unless you perform some careful shaping after transforming him. Sideswipe's [[Mech Alive]] gimmick is in his knees—bending his legs causes the blue armor plates on his knees to extend. He does have wheels in his feet like his character model, but the toy's feet have been designed in such a way that it can stand alone. Rounding out his robot mode awesomeness, his hips have an "invisible joint" and moving pistons, while his "blades" are geared to spin out in unison. He is ''totally awesome''.

:Sideswipe's instructions aren't clear as to how his torso is supposed to connect with his chest in robot mode. The torso piece has a square peg on top of it and there is a corresponding square hole between the two screws holding the front of his chest together. Getting his torso section in front of his arm struts can be a somewhat snug fit.

:This mold was [[retool]]ed into ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Swerve (Movie)|Swerve]].

:During part of 2010, [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/transformers-toy-giveaway.cfm Hasbro did a promotion] wherein US fans could receive three free Deluxes in exchange for receipts showing the purchase of $25 or more of select Transformers product. As noted in [http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=69645&st=0 this thread over at Allspark.com], and later confirmed by [http://web.archive.org/web/20110221171904/http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HT83971G3 this listing here], Sideswipe was one of a pool of eight figures (all from the same wave) from which the free Deluxes were drawn, with several people having noted receiving him.

:Sadly, his door-wing kibble-pack may come out of the package with the swivel joints near the base looking a little bit deformed and/or broken. This flaw causes them to have some difficulty staying on. This is not ''totally awesome''.

*'''Strike Mission Sideswipe''' (Deluxe, 2010)

:This redeco of Sideswipe features red translucent windows, a large black racing stripe running down the center of the car and fading black stripes on the doors. Like many Autobots in the NEST Global Alliance ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline refresh, he features a version of the NEST logo [[tampograph]]ed on him.

:This deco is also the basis for the [[Gravity Bot]]s [[#GravityNitro|"Nitro" Sideswipe toy]].

====''Human Alliance''====
[[File:ROTF HumanAlliance Sideswipe Epps.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Training with Sergeant Epps really beefed him up!]]
*'''Sideswipe / Tech. Sergeant Epps''' (Human Alliance, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-22'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:Like all [[Human Alliance]] figures, Sideswipe is designed to allow his accompanying human figure, in this case [[Robert Epps]], to ride inside.

:While in many ways simply a larger version of the Deluxe toy, it has several changes. The wheeled feet may now fold out into a stand system, allowing Sideswipe to stand without having to balance on the wheels, or be left as is to retain a more rounded look, and his blades are now rubberized to prevent injury and damage, as the blades lay flat underneath in vehicle mode. The sword-hands can also be slotted into a gear system connected to the front wheels, which causes them to spin as the wheels are turned. The passenger's seat may either be used as a seat for Epps, or turned into a missile launcher slung over Sideswipe's left shoulder.

:Like the Deluxe figure, the HA Sideswipe is something of a [[shellformer]] and suffers from an excessive amount of [[kibble]], as nearly the entire top of the vehicle mode is folded up into a backpack, with only the rear bumper being incorporated as Sideswipe's chest. Partly as the reason, it is also quite hard for him to be able to stand up, as his thigh joints are tight and the rubber tubing on his thighs can get quite tense during posing, constantly wanting to reset his torso to tilt back up and as well as wanting his legs to be straight, thus overbalancing him and making him fall on his backpack.

:A great deal goes unmentioned in the instructions: in addition to the seats behind Sideswipe's shoulders, there are pegs on both forearms that a Human Alliance human figure can stand on or have plugged into their back, but neither are accomplished very well; the pegs also interfere with free rolling in vehicle mode, scraping on the ground. There is a fold-out handle under the swiveling rear window section, which seems to serve no purpose; it's possible to fold this section over Sideswipe's head (and, by extension, any human figure sitting behind his right shoulder), but the handle is only reached if the human figure has its left arm raised straight up and the seat is in just the right position. There are also small tabs that fold out of Sideswipe's waist to make him more movie-accurate. The small turret on his right shoulder can be slid upwards slightly, allowing it to clear the shoulder much better. Sideswipe also has an extra hinge near either thigh swivel that is completely hindered by the rubber tubing on his legs. Finally, Sideswipe has a battle mask; or rather, his normal head '''is''' his battle mask. A thin sliver in the middle of his face flips back to reveal his "real" face. It looks... odd. It's probably best to leave the thing down and never speak of this feature.

====''Fast Action Battlers''====
[[File:Sideswipe ROTF FAB toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Has anyone seen my proportions?]]
*'''Battle Blade Sideswipe''' (Fast Action Battler, 2009)

: This roughly Deluxe-sized version of Sideswipe is a kid-friendly version with a simpler transformation, transforming from a Corvette Stingray car to a simplified version of his robot mode presented in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie. His main [[gimmick]] is his spring-loaded arm-blades which automatically swing down when pulled upward.

*'''Sideswipe''' (Gravity Bot, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''GB-04'''

: Part of the second wave of [[Gravity Bot]]s, Sideswipe uses gravity-activated [[autotransformation]] to turn into a [[super deformed]] Corvette Stingray when laid on his back. When the car is stood back up, it returns to its boxy robot mode.

: The toy features no [[articulation]] whatsoever, but that doesn't matter because he's awesome.

====''Robot Replicas''====

*'''Sideswipe''' (Robot Replicas, 2009)

:Robot Replicas Sideswipe is a non- transforming, but highly detailed and articulated interpretation of his robot mode from the movie. He features highly posable legs, arms, feet, head, waist, neck and shoulders, making him both an awesome kid's toy and display piece.
:Funnily enough, despite the Robot Replica promise of total movie-accuracy, his arm-blades are [[For safety reasons|considerably shortened]] and are a weird metallic blue colour, rather than the silver/gray you might expect.

:Sadly, his "Wheel feet" do not roll, making Sideswipe somewhat immobilized.

*'''Sideswipe''' (Power Bots, 2009)

: ''[[Power Bots]]'' Sideswipe is a bulky, non-transforming toy for younger children. He features limited articulation in his limbs and head, two very blunt swords, and various playing sound clips and flashing lights. He has an North Americanised [[Australia]]n accent!

*'''Sidearm Sideswipe''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''AA-06'''
**''Accessories:'' Two flare launchers

:''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers]]'' Sidearm Sideswipe is a new sculpt designed for greater robot mode accuracy compared to his original Deluxe Class mold, and replaces his swords with twin hand-held flare launcher pistols (which were briefly used during the Egypt battle in ''Revenge of the Fallen''). Sideswipe now has toe and heel spurs so that he can balance on a flat surface without falling over, a problem that the previous Deluxe Sideswipe suffered. Both the black and silver molded "springs" on his lower legs are compatible with any weaponry using [[C joint|3mm clips]]. Additionally, the guns can be attached to flip-up panels and swung out in vehicle mode to form an [[attack mode]] of sorts, or they can swivel back while in this configuration to store on his back in either mode. Interestingly, despite the fact that his hands are specifically sculpted with grooves to accommodate his launchers, Sideswipe is also capable of wielding [[5 mm post]]s.

:Hasbro added a red deco design to the front of the car and red windows in an effort to differentiate him from the previous Sideswipe molds. [[Stock photography|Stock photos]] on the back package and instructions show the front deco extending to the side panels, giving it a flame appearance. The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of Sidearm Sideswipe drops red flame details in favour of keeping the silver paint on his wheels, which Hasbro dropped due to budgetary reasons. This release also changed the windows from red to a dark purple, for a more screen accurate appearance.

:His head's [[light-piping]] is sculpted out of the same red plastic as his windows, but his eyes are painted blue. Oddly, Hasbro's stock photos show him with only one eye painted.

:In an undocumented feature, his feet are supposed to be rotated around in robot mode in order for them to look much more accurate to his CG model. Neither the instructions nor any official photography reflects this step in his transformation.

:Sidearm Sideswipe was also on the receiving end of a late retool, closing off the tops of the hip balljoint sockets, severely limiting his outward leg motion. There is a perfect outline where the change was made which one can use as a cutting guide if so inclined. This change was likely made to reduce stress on the rubber tubing connected to his thighs.

:''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Sideswipe is a new mold based on his open-top Stingray concept vehicle. He is more [[show-accuracy|screen accurate]] in basic robot mode proportions than the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] Sideswipe. His only 3mm-compatible clip is his right hand, and the plastic between his head and the [[Autobot]] insignia is darker than in the [[stock photography]]. Like the rest of the final product, and unlike the stock photography, he is entirely dull, unpainted grey plastic. But hey, you can't trust stock photos sometimes.

*'''Sideswipe''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''DA08'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/[[Cybertanium]] Sword

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' ''[[MechTech]]'' Deluxe Class toys, this version of Sideswipe is an all new tooling, with a different [[transformation scheme]] compared to the previous Deluxe versions of the character. Sideswipe changes into a Corvette Stingray concept convertible in a light grey/beige color scheme and open top. The interior is highly detailed, with seats, dashboard and steering wheel all molded into the compartment, though it's missing its floorboards. The box art and the instructions can't seem to agree which way the tail lights (which are his toe/heel spurs) are supposed to point in robot mode - the stock photo used on the card and main instruction image show them pointing forward, while the instructions themselves indicate they should point backward, implying it is probably the correct way. His arm blades are now a single piece, rather than the two piece blades from previous molds.

:Underneath the front hood (which ends up on his back) is some sculpted, unpainted faux-[[kibble]] in the form of four circles in a row, which are meant to represent the four exhaust pipes on the back of the vehicle, which usually end up on his back in robot mode. The ''actual'' pipes still end up on his back. They're just near his waist.

:Sideswipe's MechTech weapon, a large blaster, can convert to a runed Cybertanium sword with the press of a button. The weapon can be stored in any of the three MechTech ports in either mode, all of which include the spring-loaded filler piece to hide them when not in use. While the box art shows the blade of the flip-out sword painted blue with white [[Cybertronix]] runes, the final version opts for bare gunmetal plastic instead.

:The figure suffers from a small design flaw in that the front hood of the car is attached by such tiny pegs that it pops off quite easily.

:This mold was [[retool]]ed into [[Darksteel (DOTM)|Darksteel]].

:The Sideswipe included in this multi-pack is a redeco of Human Alliance Sideswipe in gray, black and green with white and black decorative stripes. He comes with a redeco of Human Alliance [[Icepick (PCC)|Icepick]] and the human figure [[Sergeant Chaos]], who is shown riding Sideswipe in stock photos despite being evil Icepick's partner. It also shows Sideswipe holding Icepick in his weapon mode, with a legally-cautious sticker saying "SIDESWIPE '''CANNOT''' HOLD WEAPON" at the back, as Sideswipe's Human Alliance mold isn't designed to and cannot hold MechTech [[5 mm post|post]]s.

In Canada and Singapore, it was exclusive to Toys"R"Us, whereas in Australia, it was a Myer exclusive. In Taiwan, it was made available for purchase during a event celebrating the launch of [[Transformers Rising]].

:He is rather blatantly mis-transformed in the official [[stock photography|stock photo]]—his feet/wheels are the most obvious, but also his chest isn't pegged in, his swords are in the retracted position, and his shoulder kibble is lowered.

:The second ''Studio Series'' Sideswipe figure is a retool of the above release to match his earlier appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen''; his Corvette Stingray alternate mode now has a closed roof and lacks the car spoiler of the ''Dark of the Moon''-branded release.

Sideswipe also comes with the two swords and the two guns from his earlier release (the latter of which, while accurate to ''Dark of the Moon'', do not match the guns he used in ''Revenge of the Fallen''), and comes with a different backdrop display depicting the [[Shanghai]] chase from ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

Unfortunately, Mattel was able to secure exclusive rights for releasing a Concept Stingray model car at a 1:64 scale for their ''Hot Wheels'' line (the toy was released as part of the "2010 New Models" lineup).

:Even worse, the Mattel toy drops a Transformers reference in its packaging blurb.<ref>"With a futuristic shape based on the original 1959 Stingray race car, this concept car also draws on Corvette cues from other generations, making a sweet "transformation" from old to new."</ref>

And like Wreckloose, this version has quite a few changes from the barely-released ''RPMs'' version. The shiny silver overspray is gone, leaving a more matte silver plastic. The twin red stripes have been turned into a single large stripe.

: [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] Sideswipe transforms into a tiny Corvette Stingray concept car. As a Legends toy, he features a simplified transformation sequence that results in swords that consist entirely of door [[kibble]] and barely-noticeable reliefs of his wheel-feet.

*'''Sideswipe''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-04'''

:Sideswipe transforms into a silver Corvette Stingray concept car. In this mode, he sits so low that it's difficult to roll him without scraping his undercarriage, unless you perform some careful shaping after transforming him. Sideswipe's [[Mech Alive]] gimmick is in his knees—bending his legs causes the blue armor plates on his knees to extend. He does have wheels in his feet like his character model, but the toy's feet have been designed in such a way that it can stand alone. Rounding out his robot mode awesomeness, his hips have an "invisible joint" and moving pistons, while his "blades" are geared to spin out in unison. He is ''totally awesome''.

:Sideswipe's instructions aren't clear as to how his torso is supposed to connect with his chest in robot mode. The torso piece has a square peg on top of it and there is a corresponding square hole between the two screws holding the front of his chest together. Getting his torso section in front of his arm struts can be a somewhat snug fit.

:This mold was [[retool]]ed into ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Swerve (Movie)|Swerve]].

:During part of 2010, [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/transformers-toy-giveaway.cfm Hasbro did a promotion] wherein US fans could receive three free Deluxes in exchange for receipts showing the purchase of $25 or more of select Transformers product. As noted in [http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=69645&st=0 this thread over at Allspark.com], and later confirmed by [http://web.archive.org/web/20110221171904/http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HT83971G3 this listing here], Sideswipe was one of a pool of eight figures (all from the same wave) from which the free Deluxes were drawn, with several people having noted receiving him.

:Sadly, his door-wing kibble-pack may come out of the package with the swivel joints near the base looking a little bit deformed and/or broken. This flaw causes them to have some difficulty staying on. This is not ''totally awesome''.

====''Human Alliance''====
[[File:ROTF HumanAlliance Sideswipe Epps.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Training with Sergeant Epps really beefed him up!]]
*'''Sideswipe / Tech. Sergeant Epps''' (Human Alliance, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-22'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:Like all [[Human Alliance]] figures, Sideswipe is designed to allow his accompanying human figure, in this case [[Robert Epps]], to ride inside.

:While in many ways simply a larger version of the Deluxe toy, it has several changes. The wheeled feet may now fold out into a stand system, allowing Sideswipe to stand without having to balance on the wheels, or be left as is to retain a more rounded look, and his blades are now rubberized to prevent injury and damage, as the blades lay flat underneath in vehicle mode. The sword-hands can also be slotted into a gear system connected to the front wheels, which causes them to spin as the wheels are turned. The passenger's seat may either be used as a seat for Epps, or turned into a missile launcher slung over Sideswipe's left shoulder.

:Like the Deluxe figure, the HA Sideswipe is something of a [[shellformer]] and suffers from an excessive amount of [[kibble]], as nearly the entire top of the vehicle mode is folded up into a backpack, with only the rear bumper being incorporated as Sideswipe's chest. Partly as the reason, it is also quite hard for him to be able to stand up, as his thigh joints are tight and the rubber tubing on his thighs can get quite tense during posing, constantly wanting to reset his torso to tilt back up and as well as wanting his legs to be straight, thus overbalancing him and making him fall on his backpack.

:A great deal goes unmentioned in the instructions: in addition to the seats behind Sideswipe's shoulders, there are pegs on both forearms that a Human Alliance human figure can stand on or have plugged into their back, but neither are accomplished very well; the pegs also interfere with free rolling in vehicle mode, scraping on the ground. There is a fold-out handle under the swiveling rear window section, which seems to serve no purpose; it's possible to fold this section over Sideswipe's head (and, by extension, any human figure sitting behind his right shoulder), but the handle is only reached if the human figure has its left arm raised straight up and the seat is in just the right position. There are also small tabs that fold out of Sideswipe's waist to make him more movie-accurate. The small turret on his right shoulder can be slid upwards slightly, allowing it to clear the shoulder much better. Sideswipe also has an extra hinge near either thigh swivel that is completely hindered by the rubber tubing on his legs. Finally, Sideswipe has a battle mask; or rather, his normal head '''is''' his battle mask. A thin sliver in the middle of his face flips back to reveal his "real" face. It looks... odd. It's probably best to leave the thing down and never speak of this feature.

His main [[gimmick]] is his spring-loaded arm-blades which automatically swing down when pulled upward.

*'''Sideswipe''' (Robot Replicas, 2009)

:Robot Replicas Sideswipe is a non- transforming, but highly detailed and articulated interpretation of his robot mode from the movie. He features highly posable legs, arms, feet, head, waist, neck and shoulders, making him both an awesome kid's toy and display piece.
:Funnily enough, despite the Robot Replica promise of total movie-accuracy, his arm-blades are [[For safety reasons|considerably shortened]] and are a weird metallic blue colour, rather than the silver/gray you might expect.

:Sadly, his "Wheel feet" do not roll, making Sideswipe somewhat immobilized.

*'''Sidearm Sideswipe''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''AA-06'''
**''Accessories:'' Two flare launchers

:''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers]]'' Sidearm Sideswipe is a new sculpt designed for greater robot mode accuracy compared to his original Deluxe Class mold, and replaces his swords with twin hand-held flare launcher pistols (which were briefly used during the Egypt battle in ''Revenge of the Fallen''). Sideswipe now has toe and heel spurs so that he can balance on a flat surface without falling over, a problem that the previous Deluxe Sideswipe suffered. Both the black and silver molded "springs" on his lower legs are compatible with any weaponry using [[C joint|3mm clips]]. Additionally, the guns can be attached to flip-up panels and swung out in vehicle mode to form an [[attack mode]] of sorts, or they can swivel back while in this configuration to store on his back in either mode. Interestingly, despite the fact that his hands are specifically sculpted with grooves to accommodate his launchers, Sideswipe is also capable of wielding [[5 mm post]]s.

:Hasbro added a red deco design to the front of the car and red windows in an effort to differentiate him from the previous Sideswipe molds. [[Stock photography|Stock photos]] on the back package and instructions show the front deco extending to the side panels, giving it a flame appearance. The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of Sidearm Sideswipe drops red flame details in favour of keeping the silver paint on his wheels, which Hasbro dropped due to budgetary reasons. This release also changed the windows from red to a dark purple, for a more screen accurate appearance.

:His head's [[light-piping]] is sculpted out of the same red plastic as his windows, but his eyes are painted blue. Oddly, Hasbro's stock photos show him with only one eye painted.

:In an undocumented feature, his feet are supposed to be rotated around in robot mode in order for them to look much more accurate to his CG model. Neither the instructions nor any official photography reflects this step in his transformation.

:Sidearm Sideswipe was also on the receiving end of a late retool, closing off the tops of the hip balljoint sockets, severely limiting his outward leg motion. There is a perfect outline where the change was made which one can use as a cutting guide if so inclined. This change was likely made to reduce stress on the rubber tubing connected to his thighs.

*'''Sideswipe''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''DA08'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/[[Cybertanium]] Sword

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' ''[[MechTech]]'' Deluxe Class toys, this version of Sideswipe is an all new tooling, with a different [[transformation scheme]] compared to the previous Deluxe versions of the character. Sideswipe changes into a Corvette Stingray concept convertible in a light grey/beige color scheme and open top. The interior is highly detailed, with seats, dashboard and steering wheel all molded into the compartment, though it's missing its floorboards. The box art and the instructions can't seem to agree which way the tail lights (which are his toe/heel spurs) are supposed to point in robot mode - the stock photo used on the card and main instruction image show them pointing forward, while the instructions themselves indicate they should point backward, implying it is probably the correct way. His arm blades are now a single piece, rather than the two piece blades from previous molds.

:Underneath the front hood (which ends up on his back) is some sculpted, unpainted faux-[[kibble]] in the form of four circles in a row, which are meant to represent the four exhaust pipes on the back of the vehicle, which usually end up on his back in robot mode. The ''actual'' pipes still end up on his back. They're just near his waist.

:Sideswipe's MechTech weapon, a large blaster, can convert to a runed Cybertanium sword with the press of a button. The weapon can be stored in any of the three MechTech ports in either mode, all of which include the spring-loaded filler piece to hide them when not in use. While the box art shows the blade of the flip-out sword painted blue with white [[Cybertronix]] runes, the final version opts for bare gunmetal plastic instead.

:The figure suffers from a small design flaw in that the front hood of the car is attached by such tiny pegs that it pops off quite easily.

:This mold was [[retool]]ed into [[Darksteel (DOTM)|Darksteel]].

: This version of Sideswipe is a [[Walmart]]-exclusive redeco of Sidearm Sideswipe. Featuring a new racing-themed deco, he is one of the most fanwank-filled mass released toys ever, featuring a small [[Transcendent Technomorph|TransTech]] [[:File:Transtech Autobot symbol.png|Autobot symbol]] on the rear fenders, an endorsement of "[[Lithone (planet)|Lithonian Drivetrain]]" on the front fenders, another for "[[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]]" on his trunk, one further logo that for "[[Sunstreaker (disambiguation)|Sun bro]]", another ad for "[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]] [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattraps]]" (with the slogan "Safe.

[[File:Flak cardart.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|MUST...TURN...DOORKNOB!]]
'''Flak''' is the deep thinker of the [[Autobot]] [[Battle Patrol]]. A tactical expert, he has single-handedly crafted an enormous "playbook" of maneuvers and scenarios for the Patrol to use whenever in the field and, at [[Big Shot]]'s discretion, instituted a rigorous training schedule to make sure the entire team is constantly up to date on all his latest plans. Flak is meticulous, some would say downright anal, in his planning, but only because he feels he has to be. Flak respects Big Shot's authority and decisiveness under fire, but recognizes that his commander's lack of lateral thinking can potentially get their Patrol into trouble. Because of this, Flak has taken on the burden of responsibility in making sure Big Shot's military precision always has a military strategy to back it up.

{{noteukexclusive|Flak}}
[[File:Generic decepticon marvel uk 230.jpg|left|thumb|100px|SPOILERS: He's the small guy.]]
Flak and the Battle Patrol were given the mission to break into a secure [[Decepticon]] complex by their commander, [[Emirate]] [[Xaaron]], in order to learn of a new "secret weapon". To his credit, Flak DID ask the [[Thunderwing's expendable guard|complex's guard]] nicely to step out of the way... before transforming and unleashing his full missile firepower on the hapless 'Con. The joke was ultimately on the Micros, however, as it turned out the secret weapon was ''them''. [[Thunderwing (G1)|Lord Thunderwing]] had leaked word of the new weapon in order to lure some Autobot [[Micromaster]]s into his web and use their bodies to reverse-engineer the technology for the Decepticon cause. Flak and his teammates fought back bravely, but were ultimately captured. They were dissected by Thunderwing's scientists and, although [[Roadhandler (G1)|Roadhandler]] and the other Micros managed to free them, the Micromaster technology was successfully reproduced by the Decepticons. {{storylink|A Small War!}}

[[File:AspectsofEvil2-Flak.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Me? A normal-sized Transformer? Ridiculous!]]
Flak and [[Sunrunner (G1)|Sunrunner]] were among the Autobots under [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodimus Prime]]'s command when he returned to the future after the [[Time Wars]]. Unfortunately, despite [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]'s death in the timestorm in [[1989]], the timeline had rebooted itself so that Galvatron still existed in the present of [[2009]]. While trying to rekindle an Autobot resistance movement on Cybertron, Flak and Sunrunner were caught by Galvatron and the [[Triggercon]]s along with Rodimus, [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Kup]], and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]]. As Rodimus Prime fought back against Galvatron, Flak and the others disabled the Triggercons, and the Autobots fled for safety. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}} The full Battle Patrol were among the 400+ Autobots who escaped to [[Earth]] on a [[Future Autobot evacuation ship|ship]] with Rodimus. {{storylink|The Void!

When the Autobots and Decepticons arrived on Earth, Flak and the Battle Patrol were said to be on the side of the Decepticons. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 7|New York — A City Sinking in Terror}} They later assisted the Decepticons in trying to captured a damaged oil tanker. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 9|The Transformers' Grand Hour: Headmaster of the Dimensions}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
Flak was a member of the Battle Patrol under [[Big Shot]]'s command, but wasn't nearly as loudmouthed as his comrades, [[Sidetrack (G1)|Sidetrack]] and Sunrunner. {{storylink|Destined for Nothing}} He and Big Shot were guarding the entrance to Autobase at one point, while their fellow Patrol-mechs were shooing the [[Hot Rod Patrol]] away at another gate. {{storylink|Recipe for Hate}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
[[File:Spotlight Nightbeat Flak Groundpounder.jpg|thumb|upright=0.65]]
Flak was one of the legions of [[Dead Universe]] Micromasters who pursued [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]] and [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] on [[Gorlam Prime]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}}

===''Wings Universe''===
[[File:WingsofHonor-shipslog.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|Flak can't wait for the invention of the flatscreen monitor.]]
Flak began making his reputation as an "Alien Fighter" in the [[Cybertronian Revolution]]. Since then, he's fought space pirates, mutants, transorganics, and more. Above all else, he's practical. He doesn't relish battle; it just happens to be what he's good at. Flak does have trouble adjusting his tactics accordingly when it comes to fighting his own species.

Just before the civil war began, Flak was a crewmember aboard the ''[[Eight Track (G1)|Eight Track]]'' under the command of [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]]. [[Landshark (G1)|Landshark]] and Flak played mentor to a young "[[protoform|protie]]" named [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]], though Landshark's lessons were a lot less practical than Flak's. After a [[Units of time|solar cycle]] of scanning remote star systems, the ''Eight Track'' received a priority signal from [[Autobot High Command]]! Back home, the [[Decepticon]]s had rallied around a [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|new leader]], and what once was a manageable group had suddenly become an army. [[Quintesson|Someone]], possibly these Decepticons, shot down a freight hauler, the ''[[Van De Graaff]]'', over the planet [[Beta-Nine]], and its precious cargo could not fall into enemy hands. Flak and the others were ordered to retrieve the cargo and return it to Cybertron.

[[File:FlakWOH-missilelaunchers.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|It's the size that matters.]]
The ''Eight Track'' was shot out of Beta-Nine's orbit by a Decepticon starship, and the ''Eight Track'' crashed hard in a swamp. The Decepticons were instantly upon them, and Kup was immediately separated from the rest. Landshark and Flak were ordered to divert the Decepticons away from the ''Van De Graaff'', and so they headed deep into the jungle surrounding the swamp. Between the two of them, they were able to defeat [[Leozack]] and [[Hooligan (G2)|Hooligan]].

Ultimately, the cargo was retrieved by Thunderclash and Kup and returned to Cybertron when a rescue ship came for them all. For their bravery, [[Magnum]] of Autobot High Command assigned Flak and the others to a new unit, the [[Elite Guard]], which had been established to counter the Decepticons in the Civil War. {{storylink|Wings of Honor}}

A few years later, Flak's team teamed up with [[Metalhawk (G1)|Metalhawk]]'s team to battle a horde of [[Virulent Clone]]s, a task in which they were eventually victorious.

The two squads then relaxed for a bit, until a call bleeped over Thunderclash's comm, with Magnum informing them that Metalhawk's squad had to ferry Thunderclash's squad to [[Space Port Bravo]] straightaway. After everyone's gear was loaded onto the ''[[Hawk's Claw]]'', they all disembarked.

Once at the spaceport, the two squads bid their goodbyes, then Thunderclash's squad then walked off into the spaceport. Metalhawk's squad later learned that their compatriots had been given the ''[[Beast With Wings]]'' to take to [[Centry Quadrant]] for their next mission. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 2}}

[[File:BattleLines3-MagnumFlak.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67]]
The ''Beast With Wings'' crew returned from a mission to find that an attack on Elite Guard HQ by [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] had wiped out most of the rest of the Guard. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 6}} The remainder of the Elite Guard, including Flak, gathered at the [[Autobot High Council Citadel]] with Magnum, to demonstrate that the Elite Guard was still functional, only to find the Council were appointing [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] as the leader of a new Autobot military. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 1}}

Magnum took the team out to find [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]]'s base, stopping off at the [[Auxiliary Weapons Locker]], though Flak wasn't quite sure why they needed ''more'' guns. He was amused when [[Ricochet (Timelines)|Ricochet]], [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]] and [[Outback (G1)|Outback]] volunteered to join the mission, referring to them as "desk jockeys". {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 2}} When the team ran into Deathsaurus's troops, he put his missile launchers to work, blasting [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] and a good deal of the Decepticons out of the air. In the middle of the chaos, Flak, Outback and Moonracer gathered around Ricochet, who had been shot down by Starscream and was dying. In response to Ricochet's question, Flak told him he'd done fine and called him "soldier". There was little time to mourn his death, as the trio were attacked by an enraged sword-wielding [[Lyzack (G1)|Lyzack]]. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 3}} As the Decepticons started their retreat, Flak punched out an unsuspecting [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] and was subsequently seen guarding the captive Combaticons. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 4}} A week after the battle, he was part of the Autobot forces at [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]'s city walls as the Decepticons broke through with [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 5}} The battle was won, but not without casualties.

[[File:BattleLines6-MicromasterInitiative.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Theyyyyyyy've got the power to make a compelling sales pitch.]]
Some time afterward, Flak was convinced by [[Cop-Tur (G1)|Cop-Tur]] and [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]] to "go 'green'" and join the [[Micromaster Initiative]] to conserve the planet's energy. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 6}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
Flak was stationed at the [[High Council Pavilions|High Pavilion]] of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. During the [[Grand Uprising]], he oversaw the last stand of the Builders against the advancing army of the [[Resistance]]. After establishing tactics and prepping his men as best he could, Flak ceded command of the tactic control center to his second, [[Skat-or]], and decided to fight in the field with his men.

The [[Pavilion Guard|Temple Guard]] gave a good accounting for themselves, typically killing ten Resistance fighters for every one of them that fell, but the enemy simply outnumbered them too heavily, and the outcome was inevitable. Thousands of Resistance troopers died, yet the Temple Guard diminished from 400 down to a mere eight. With the Resistance just outside the chambers of the [[Builder Assembly]], Flak lost five of his remaining troops in a holding action. Seeing the end coming, he sent [[Steel Wind]] back inside the chambers and then joined [[Heavy-Tread]] in a final suicidal charge towards the enemy. {{Storylink|Derailment}}

===''Legends'' comic===
Flak was stationed on Zone when [[Violengiguar]] attacked, using the possessed bodies of the [[Powered Master]]s. They staged a counterattack using [[Dai Atlas (G1)|Dai Atlas]] and the real Powered Masters as a rallying point. Having mastered the use of [[Schaeffer Energy]], the Micromasters could now transform and combine into powerful weapons. Flak and [[Big Shot|Topshot]] linked up into a combined Mini-Con Target Mode, wielded by their enlarged comrade, [[Sky High (Micromaster)|Airmaster]]. {{storylink|The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 4: LG-EX Big Powered Prologue Part One|LG-EX Big Powered Prologue Part One}} Later on, they were passed to Dai Atlas. {{storylink|The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 5: LG-EX Big Powered Prologue Part Two|LG-EX Big Powered Prologue Part Two}}

During the [[War of the Threefold Spark]], Flak served under [[Strika (BM)|Strika]] as part of her [[Strika's Heavies|elite artillery unit]]. After a disastrous battle at [[Yuss]], Flak was among those who attacked [[Exarchon]], nearly killing the Threefold Spark, until he was saved by the intervention of [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Three}}

After the war, Flak became a member of [[Security Operations]], and was part of a unit called in to deal with [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]] and his [[The Rise|Risers]] during a standoff in the [[Cybertronian Mountains]]. In an effort to flush out the [[Decepticon|Ascenticon]]s, he wound up firing a barrage into the immersant [[Titan (group)|Titan]] that housed their impromptu base. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Two}}

When the Ascenticons—now "Decepticons"—dropped all pretenses and captured the [[Senate]], Flak and fellow veteran [[Big Shot|Top Shot]] joined [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]'s ad-hoc artillery unit and launched a barrage on the building. While providing cover fire for [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]'s team, [[Sunrunner (G1)|Sunrunner]] marked [[Clench (G1)|Clench]]. The rest of their unit concentrated fire on his position and killed the Decepticon. {{storylink|War World: Prime}} Later, when Optimus Prime journeyed to the [[Forge Pyramid]], Flak was among the Autobots who maintained the perimeter. He engaged the Decepticons when they arrived to seize the Pyramid for themselves. {{storylink|War World: Titans|Titans}}

The halves of the (non-firing) launcher end up on his arms in robot mode. In either mode, inserting a Cyber Key in each half reveals a new weapon: the right side has a slide-out double spring-loaded missile launcher which ends up on his left robot arm, while the left has a flip-out non-firing blaster barrel which ends up on his right robot arm. Both key-activated weapons feature fake handles which end up being "held" by his hands in robot mode, although the missile launcher on his right arm needs to be slid forward for him to be able to reach the deployed blaster's handle. He also comes with an extra long gray hand-held rifle that can be mounted in tank mode thanks to his [[Mini-Con]]-compatible [[Powerlinx]] plugs.

:Flak was originally intended to be the same green, yellow, and red colors as his original toy, but the release of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Overload (Armada)#Universe (2008)|Overload]] put the kibosh on that.

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

[[File:Monstructorg1.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|DE...COM...POSE!]]
Beneath the gibbous moons of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], in the great dark spaces of the sunless void, far beyond the realms of man's childish reachings, does the great dread '''Monstructor''' have his origin. A being that seems instinct with some fearful and unnatural malignancy, his form like a robot and a deep great shadow at once, his very presence is said to drain light and life from the world around him, feeding his ancient hunger. A palpable cloak of dread follows his movements, and the very sight of his summoning and formation has driven sane beings beyond the bounds of madness. All living things, mechanical or organic, decay and die at his merest touch.

Monstructor is the channel for an evil beyond the darkest Decepticon imagination, and far beyond the puerile concerns of the insignificant beings who make up his composite form. He longs for the day, foretold in darkness, when he shall be split asunder no longer, and will rise one final time, free to travel the stars, from world to world, extinguishing all life sparks, ravening for delight.

Monstructor's body is the combined form of six [[Pretender Monster]]s:

*[[Icepick (G1)|Icepick]] (right leg)
*[[Birdbrain]] (lower torso)
*[[Bristleback]] (right arm)
*[[Scowl (G1)|Scowl]] (left leg)
*[[Slog (G1)|Slog]] (upper torso)
*[[Wildfly]] (left arm)

The Pretender Monsters, as individuals, had attacked the inhabitants of the undersea Autobot [[Arc II|base]]; later, they confronted an attacking [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] force as Monstructor. The titan proved unstoppable at first, his energy-leeching fields draining enemy equipment and causing at least [[Windmill (G.I. Joe)|one pilot]] to instantly age before crashing.

Monstructor's triumph never came to completion, though, as the Joe [[Laser Squad]] targeted his head module, causing it to explode. The combiner robot collapsed into a shower of unconscious Decepticons. {{storylink|Black Horizon, Part 2 of 2}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
:*''First Appearance:'' [[Megatron Origin issue 2|''Megatron Origin'' #2]] (apocryphal); [[Spotlight: Optimus Prime]]

[[File:Monstructor-idw1.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Now, it's time to panic.]]
Monstructor was the first gestalt Transformer. He was created by [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] under the direction of [[Nova Prime]], who sought to reproduce [[Nexus Prime]]'s combination technology without the aid of the lost [[Enigma of Combination]]. {{storylink|The Crucible}} Jhiaxus recruited six volunteers, and granted them the ability to combine. As a twisted take on "[['Til all are one|'til all are one]]", the combiner was intended to be the ultimate fusion of mind and body: a vast amount of intellect combined with unparalleled strength. Unfortunately, his six lobotomized components were driven into insanity by the merging process, and became monsters. [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] saw the newly dubbed Monstructor for the uncontrollable abomination he was and took him down, though the clash between the two titans caused the destruction of Nova's capital, the [[Crystal City]]. After Nova Prime departed [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'', Omega locked Monstructor's components in a dimensionally-displaced prison to live out the rest of their horrid existence. {{storylink|Spotlight: Optimus Prime}} {{storylink|Primus: All Good Things}} However, an erroneous report placed Monstructor among the spectators of a gladiatorial match between [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] and [[Cy-Kill (G1)|Cy-Kill]]. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}}

Eventually, the "Monstructor Six" escaped their dimensional prison and tracked down and attacked Omega Supreme in their combined form. Fortunately, Omega had knowledge of Monstructor's weak spot, and was able to inform the visiting [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]], who blasted the vulnerable point and defeated him. Despite Omega Supreme's protestations about the dangers of gestalt technology falling into Decepticon hands, Prime had them taken into custody in an attempt to repair their shattered minds. {{storylink|Spotlight: Optimus Prime}} The six were taken to the prison colony [[Garrus-9]] but were soon sprung by [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzai-Tron's]] [[Decepticon Secret Service]], {{storylink|Spotlight: Arcee}} only for the ''Decepticons'' to lose them too when Monstructor was activated and then carried off by minions of the [[Dead Universe]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}} [[File:MonstructorArceeBanzaiCombat.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|An epic battle that takes place over the length and breadth of this single panel.]] Placed under the mental control of Jhiaxus, Monstructor was then installed on the planet [[Rotan]] as guardian of the [[Nega-Core]] the Dead Universe Transformers required for their [[Expansion]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Doubledealer}} The surviving members of Decepticon Secret Service (backed up by [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]]) engaged him in a vicious battle, while the Autobots sneaked in behind him using a [[space bridge]] and disabled the Nega-Core. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

Reacquired by the Decepticons at some point over the next year, Monstructor fell under the extremely dubious command of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]. Monstructor attempted to capture [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Hot Rod]], but was forced to disassemble after a pinpoint shot to his weak connector port. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 15|Lost & Found}} [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] used data acquired from Monstructor to further [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]]'s research on combiners, resulting in the creation of [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. {{storylink|Shockpoint}}

[[File:Monstructor kills Chaosteros and syndromica 2.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Bludgeon eventually found and recruited the six components, {{storylink|The Ties That Bind (issue)|The Ties That Bind}} with Monstructor himself next resurfacing on the frigid world of [[Arduria]] as the bait and hook of a trap laid by the deranged Decepticon. Pretending to be frozen, Monstructor ambushed Optimus Prime (now "Orion Pax") and [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]] when they came to the planet in response to a fake distress call sent out by Bludgeon. His weak spot removed by his new leader, Monstructor seemed unbeatable, but once Bludgeon rescued Jhiaxus from the Autobots' [[Ark-27|ship]], the combiner broke off the fight, splitting into his components and departing with his masters on their mission to locate the remaining [[Regenesis]] missiles. {{storylink|Syndromica (1)}} Their next target was the time-displaced world of [[LV-117]], where Jhiaxus and Monstructor ended up in a point in time close to the destruction of the planet. The [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] from this time period released a [[Chaosteros]] and [[Arachnosaur]] to attack the Decepticons, but Monstructor ripped the two creatures apart then followed Jhiaxus off the planet after he had secured what he came for. {{storylink|Syndromica (2)}}

Monstructor resurfaced six years later as part of the [[Decepticon Vengeance Division]], serving aboard Bludgeon's [[Worldsweeper]] and being warped into a new form by [[Ore-11]]. As Unicron laid waste to Cybertron, the [[Council of Worlds]] retaliated by deploying their own combiner, [[Victorion]]. When Bludgeon opened fire on [[Vigilem|Carcer]], Victorion tore through Bludgeon's flagship, prompting the mad scientist to deploy Monstructor to counter her attack. Despite Victorion's best efforts, Monstructor easily overpowered her, fatally crushing [[Stormclash]] and forcing his foe to split into her remaining components. {{storylink|Our Finest}}

Monstructor remained on the ship as the fleet quantum jumped to [[Sanctuary Station]]. {{storylink|Road's End}} When [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]], [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Thundercracker]], and [[Skywarp (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Skywarp]] charged the fleet, Bludgeon casually sent Monstructor out to kill the trio. When the combiner made his way onto the upper hull however, Metroplex and [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] space bridged in and disgorged a veritable army atop the flagship. {{storylink|Assembly (Unicron)|Assembly}}

As the battle for Earth intensified, Bludgeon's ship breached Earth's atmosphere and the scientist sent the combiner to the surface to take out [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. At the same time, however, the energies unleashed by Superion's activation of the [[Enigma of Combination]] were able to reconstitute Victorion from the Torchbearers riding atop Bludgeon's ship, integrating [[Slide]] as a replacement limb. Together, the two combiners fatally tag-teamed Monstructor, with Superion blasting a hole in his chest and Victorion delivering the final blow by ramming her fist through his head. {{storylink|Ceremony}}

*'''Monstructor''' (1989)
**''Accessories:'' "Solar fission cannon" weapon, head, waist, fists, feet, Pretender shells

:''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Monstructor is formed by combining all six individually-carded Pretender Monsters. Much like the earlier Transformer combiner teams, he requires the attachment of separate accessories—his head, waist, fists, and feet—to complete his [[robot mode]]. However, unlike earlier combiners, the separate pieces can all be stored on the individual team members; they fit on the backplates of the Pretender shells. As his individual components are not much larger than a Micromaster, Monstructor is the smallest of the Generation 1 combiners, standing about the same height as regular toys like Hot Rod... yes, even shorter than the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (franchise)|Micromaster Six-Teams]]' combined forms.

:Monstructor was the final Generation 1 combiner released by [[Hasbro]], and the only one to not be released in a [[giftset]] in any market.

:This set of robot molds was also used to make [[Dinoking#Toys|Dinoking]], the [[Dinoforce]]'s combined form.

==Notes==
*Monstructor is one of the few Generation 1 toys that has no boxart. The closest he got is that his [[mold]] buddy [[Dinoking]] does have boxart. The [[2014]] book ''[[Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging]]'' would reveal that Hasbro created a Monstructor recolouring of Dinoking's art that ultimately went unused.
*In early solicitations from Hasbro, Monstructor was called "'''Titanus'''". We ''could'' make a Power Rangers joke, but Monstructor doesn't actually have the ability to combine with another robot.
*The IDW interpretation of Monstructor uses Slog's arms as an extra pair of ''Tyrannosaurus''-esque arms....which is horrifyingly reminiscent of the [[Beast (G1)|Beast]]. Though Monstructor makes it ''so'' much cooler because...well, he's actually ''good''.

[[Image:NexusPrimeflankedbyotherPrimes.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Insert batteries where?!]]
One of the [[Thirteen]], '''Nexus Prime''' was the first [[combiner]], often associated with [[Rarified Energon]].

He is sometimes, unfortunately, known as '''Nexus Maximus'''.

==Fiction==
===Fun Publications===
When the Thirteen visited ancient Earth of some universal streams, Nexus Prime used a [[holomatter]] avatar which inspired the myth of the goddess Hera, trusted confidant of Zeus, who was [[Prima]]'s holomatter avatar. [[Vector Prime]] shared many fond memories with his siblings, including Nexus, and noted that there were universal streams where Nexus was known as Nexus [[Convoy (rank)|Convoy]].

Nexus Prime, Vector Prime, [[Alpha Trion (disambiguation)|Alpha Trion]], and [[Solus Prime]] made the decision to split Nexus Prime into five pieces to conceal the location of the five fragments of Prima's [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]] sword, a weapon that could destroy star systems, from their evil brother [[The Fallen|Megatronus]]. Using the blade of the Star Saber, Nexus Prime was cut into five other robots: [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skyfall]], [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]], [[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]], [[Topspin (Classics)|Topspin]], and [[Heatwave (Timelines)|Heatwave]], who were subsequently scattered across the [[multiverse]] and lost to the ages. {{Storylink|Ask Vector Prime}}

But the skills of Nexus Prime are needed once again, and now that his components have been called together by Primus, he searches the multiverse for the components to the Star Saber sword, armed with his masterful control over all uses of [[energon]], and ability to manipulate [[spark]]s.

[[Image:Clubcombinercarving.jpg|200px|thumb|They drew his limbs arranged incorrectly!]]
The [[Caretaker]] told its components that Nexus Prime was "designated a [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]", like the other original thirteen. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 6}}

When Landquake, Breakaway, Topspin, and Heatwave made an attempt to use their powers to revive the recently assassinated [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]], they were transported—along with a revived Skyfall—to the presence of [[Primus]] in the "afterlife". He gave them a choice of living (or staying dead) as they were, or being reborn as what they were meant to be. After the gestalt members made their deliberations, Primus declared, "The choice is made. Arise, Nexus Prime," as they started the transformation. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 5}}

[[Image:OmegaDoomNexusPrimeGalvatron.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Behold the fingers my toy totally doesn't have!]]

Nexus Prime [[Reformatting|reformatted]] the dead Megatron into the powerful Galvatron, investing in him some of the power of the Thirteen. The two exited the Decepticon stronghold to counter [[Omega Doom]]'s offensive, but they were forced to split up when Doom launched a starkilling missile into Cybertron's sun. Though his Decepticon components protested leaving the battle, Nexus Prime knew saving this Cybertron's star system was of more immediate importance. Regardless, he was too late in stopping the missile, and its energies began to destroy the sun. Nexus began to concentrate.

Nexus returned to Cybertron triumphant, having used his own powers to negate those of the starkilling missile, and he made short work of Omega Doom, saving Galvatron in the nick of time. Though there was more on this Cybertron to do, such as finishing [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]] once and for all, Nexus Prime knew he had to depart this universe. After saying goodbye to [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Cliffjumper]], he entered a portal with [[Aquarius (SG)|Aquarius]], trusting fate to bring him to the correct destination. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 6}}

Nexus Prime and Aquarius traveled from world to world, but without finding what Nexus Prime was looking for. Eventually, the pair arrived on [[Primax 509.28 Epsilon|one universe]]'s [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], where they were attacked by a group of smaller Decepticons who thought they had an easy mark. Though Nexus Prime was unwilling to use his more supernatural powers, lest he draw unwanted attention towards himself, he was still able to easily beat their attackers. As they left the group of dazed Decepticons behind, Nexus Prime and Aquarius wandered through a Cybertronian marketplace. Finally, Nexus Prime began to drop hints about what [[Star Saber (Prima)|mysterious artifact]] he was looking for; he hadn't yet clued Aquarius in. Ultimately, Nexus Prime spotted a shipping container with an [[Elite Guard]] symbol on it. This unlocked a memory in the ancient Transformer, allowing him to determine their next destination. He and Aquarius vanished through another portal to yet another dimension. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 1}}

After several unspecified adventures, Aquarius ended up in Axiom Nexus and took charge of a shard of the Star Saber from a [[Chifumi Takahashi|courier]]. In exchange, he promised to help her get home. {{storylink|Transformers I.Q.#issue 48|Transformers I.Q. last issue review}} To their surprise, however, they ended up on the Cybertron of Aquarius's home reality. It soon became obvious that Nexus had transported them there in order to receive the [[Origin Matrix]], the fifth and final piece, from [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Mammoth]]. {{storylink|Transformers I.Q.#issue 54|Transformers I.Q. trivia bonus #12}} {{storylink|Falling into Place}}

[[File:AnotherLight-choppitychop.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"...''Transformers: Prime'' will never make a dozen episodes about finding you."]]

While waiting for Nexus Prime's arrival, Ultra Mammoth confronted his negative counterpart [[Ultra Magnus (SG)|Ultra Magnus]], who was wielding the [[Terminus Blade]] on Earth. After the Origin Matrix inadvertently supercharged the Blade, Nexus Prime's components arrived in time to combine the Matrix with the other elements to reform the Star Saber. Prima's great sword severed the evil Magnus's arm, and Nexus Prime banished the insane Autobot to a dimension suitable for his temperament. With the Star Saber and Terminus Blade in hand, Nexus Prime set about undoing what damage he could from Magnus's abuse of the weapon. {{storylink|Restoration}}

In multidimensional space, Nexus Prime found he could not undo the destruction of universes already caused by the Terminus Blade. Aware that his actions would not be without consequences to himself, Nexus Prime brought the Saber and Blade together. He strengthened the existing walls between dimensions to prevent further inter-universe decay. He bolstered dying universes that had not yet succumbed to Ultra Magnus, hoping they might still survive. In the process, however, the strengthened walls could no longer support the fluidity of multiversal singularities. Nexus Prime felt himself and his fellow Thirteen splintering, existing as independent beings in each reality they manifested in, instead of thirteen singularities. {{storylink|Out of the One, Many}}

===Aligned continuity family===
====''The Covenant of Primus''====
[[Image:5NexusPrime.jpg|thumb|200px]]
Known as the "Wizard of Forms", Nexus Prime was all about change and mutability. As the first and greatest combiner, he was able to merge any robots into new combined forms at will or separate himself into multiple independent components. When standing alone, his body seemed to shift or be overlaid with ever-changing forms and combinations he might take.

Powerful, proud, and frequently unpredictable even to those who knew him best, Nexus Prime was also full of good humor and can even be a bit of a prankster at times. He was the "mad experimenter" of the Thirteen and is fascinated by changing states of matter and the creation of new elements in solar forges. This shared affinity for creation led [[Solus Prime]], the "Maker" of the Thirteen, to have special feelings for Nexus, which in turn seemed to have earned him the enmity of [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] and [[Liege Maximo]].

{{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}}}

====Aligned novels====
Megatronus killed Solus Prime in an act of rage, one that drove a wedge between the remaining Thirteen.

After the defeat of Liege Maximo's schemes, Nexus Prime took custody of many of Solus Prime's creations, including the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]], the [[Cyber Caliber]], the [[Chaos Edge]]. the [[Blades of Time]], and his own [[Omni Saber]]. The Omni Saber was a part of Nexus Prime's body, and he secreted the Cyber Caliber away inside his form as well before splitting himself into five component robots: [[Clocker (Prime)|Clocker]], [[Mainspring]], [[Chaindrive]], [[Pinion]], and [[Cannonspring]]. Each component held a fraction of the Cyber Caliber within themselves, and was also charged with guarding one of the Blades of Time. Only by assembling the Blades of Time and using them to open a gateway to the hollow realm of Vector Prime could the power of the Cyber Caliber as well be reassembled. What happened to the Star Saber is unknown (perhaps intentionally) but Alpha Trion believed that Nexus Prime left it in the care of another before separating himself.

The sub-selves of Nexus Prime scattered throughout the colony worlds of Cybertron. They remained apart for so long that each forgot their true nature, and no longer recalled being part of Nexus Prime or the Thirteen. All but Cannonspring even forgot their duty to safeguard the Blades of Time and the Cyber Caliber. Clocker and Mainspring wound up on [[Velocitron]], where they remained slightly out of place as mechanics instead of the speed-driven racers who ruled the planet. Pinion ended up on [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]], assimilating well into the culture (perhaps because the Junkion way of constantly reusing materials appealed to the subconscious preference of Nexus Prime for change). Chaindrive found himself on Cybertron, and eventually became part of the Autobot resistance movement alongside [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]] and Alpha Trion after the Ark's departure. Cannonspring ended up in a crippled ship in Cybertron's deep orbit, until the prospector [[Axer (Prime)|Axer]] triggered some latent transwarp energy on board, transporting them both to Junkion. Cannonspring remained inert for over a million years inside his ship after they crashed.

Nexus Prime began to come together once more thanks to the Matrix, which directed Optimus Prime through space to the various colony worlds. As the Ark came to Velocitron, Optimus discovered two pieces of the Blades of Time and fatefully agreed to bring Clocker and Mainspring on the next leg of his journey when they asked. On Junkion, Prime encountered Pinion while recovering a third Blade, and the fourth was retrieved from Axer. Meanwhile, back on Cybertron, Alpha Trion and [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] concocted a method of sending a scout after Optimus Prime by keying residual Space Bridge energy to the signature of the Matrix. Instinctively, Alpha Trion decided Chaindrive was the proper choice, and he brought with him the fifth Blade. Once all five Blades and the other four components assembled on Junkion, the combined energy was enough to rekindle the inert Cannonspring, bringing him back to full functioning and allowing them to reassemble into Nexus Prime.

Displaying the ability to hold more weapons than an armory, Nexus Prime pulled forth both his Omni Saber and the Chaos Edge, and also passed the Cyber Caliber over to Optimus Prime. Although he refused to kill anyone, Nexus Prime essentially held off the Decepticons and the [[Star Seeker]]s for a time, on intimidation alone. As [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] and [[Thundertron]] left to pursue other goals, Nexus Prime reclaimed his swords and gave some last words of encouragement to Optimus Prime before splitting himself once more. Reduced to a new set of five protoforms, Nexus Prime vanished into space and the annals of history once more. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}

[[File:OriginMyths-ThePrimes.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Love child of Silverbolt and Wheeljack.]]

In the primitive age that followed the departure of the [[Knights of Cybertron]], Nexus Prime joined his [[Thirteen Tribes|tribe]] with those of [[Solus Prime|Solus]], [[Vector Prime|Vector]], [[Alchemist Prime]] and [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] in [[Crystal City]]. Like the other four, he knew [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]] but he himself was disgusted by Onyx's bestial horde and took time to become acclimated to them. He had a brother in the east who ruled his own kingdom. {{storylink|Origin Myths}} Nexus was the first recorded owner of the mysterious artifact known as the [[Enigma of Combination]]. He evidently chose to keep the artifact's true nature as a physical object a secret, with most believing the "Enigma" part of the name referred to a puzzle that had to be solved to allow for [[Combiner|combination]]. {{storylink|The Crucible}}

One evening, Vector Prime barged in on a meeting to announce the approach of Onyx and [[Liege Maximo|a crony]], as well as the news that [[Septimus Prime]] had perished and that [[The Fallen|the conqueror]] of [[Protihex|his lands]] was on the warpath across Cybertron. Despite Solus and Onyx's dismissal, Nexus felt Septimus had still been a Prime such as they were before he asked who Onyx's minion was, the newcomer introducing himself as Liege Maximo, who had also lost his lands to the army of [[Darklands|Darklanders]]. At Alpha Trion's urging, the Primes allowed Onyx and Liege Maximo into their alliance. When the time of battle came, Nexus wished to join his followers in combat but remained behind at Solus's urging. After the [[Titan (group)|Titans]] arrived, Onyx leapt into the fray only to recognize the enemy commander as his old friend Megatronus. Nexus was shocked at this development, before the eight Primes joined forces. In the aftermath, [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] expressed the belief that the alliance would attract Nexus's brother to him. {{storylink|Origin Myths}} Unbeknownst to the Primes, the 'bot they believed to be Onyx Prime was in fact a time-travelling Shockwave from ten million years in the future who had engineered the entire conflict to bring the Primes together as history recorded. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

[[File:RID34 enigma of combination.jpg|thumb|left|250px|My Enigma don't go to none if they're lowborn, hun.]]

Power turned Nexus into something of a git really, believing that all non-Primes should serve their Prime masters. {{storylink|The Crucible}} Among the members of his court was a [[Titan Master]] by the name of [[Infinitus]], who wholeheartedly believed in his master's elitist approach to social engineering. {{storylink|White Heat}} The Thirteen Primes ruled their planet peacefully until Liege Maximo and Megatronus conspired together, goaded on by Shockwave's machinations, and started the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]] via the murder of Solus Prime. While Megatronus fled Cybertron, Nexus and [[Quintus Prime|Quintus]] managed to restrain Maximo, before trying and exiling him aboard [[Vigilem]]. {{storylink|Heavy}} {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

Nexus allied himself with "Onyx Prime" during the war, he used his [[Enigma of Combination]] to create the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]: humanoid Transformers combined with beasts. {{storylink|The Crucible}} [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]] found the whole concept disgusting and single-handled slaughtered the Headmasters before coming after Nexus himself. Nexus sneered that Galvatron was a "lowborn" that couldn't kill him, and Galvatron responded by doing just that. The realization that a Prime could be killed by someone other than another Prime caused most of the remaining Primes to flee the planet. {{storylink|The Crucible}}

He was survived by Infinitus, who vowed to keep his master's teachings alive and eventually apply them to all of Cybertron–especially the parts about forced servitude to the Primes. {{storylink|White Heat}} Nexus's [[Titan (group)|Titan]], [[Devisiun (Titan)|Devisiun]], also survived the war and colonized [[Devisiun (planet)|a planet]] in honor of his master which the younger Shockwave eventually seeded with [[Ore-5]]. {{storylink|Ceremony|The Lost Colonies of Cybertron}}

Conisisting of [[redeco]]s of components of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' combiners, Nexus Maximus, just like [[Superion Maximus]], [[Bruticus Maximus (Energon)|Bruticus Maximus]], and [[Constructicon Maximus]], features universal connection points for the limbs, allowing many different combinations and even swapping of limbs from different teams, in a fashion very similar to ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'''s "[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1986 (Scramble City and Transformers 2010)|Scramble City]]"-type combiner teams. Unlike the other Maximus-style combiners, Nexus Maximus features four unique molds for his limb pieces, rather than two redecoed to fit both the legs and arms, due to him using both [[Destruction Team]] and [[Air Team]] molds. Whereas the individual components' robot modes still feature the same head sculpts as the ''Energon'' figures they're redecoed from, the combined form of Nexus Maximus himself was given an entirely new, unique head sculpt, which is an amalgamation of visual elements of its components' own heads: Skyfall's eyes, Landquake's chin, Breakaway's forehead, Topspin's "mohawk", and Heatwave's "ears".

:Nexus Maximus is the combined form of the first five [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] freebie toys, which were released over the span of five years.

:''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' Nexus Prime is a retool of [[Alchemist Prime#Toys|Alchemist Prime]] and was included with the [[Throne of the Primes#Toys|Throne of the Primes]] set. As a [[Prime Master]] figure, he can plug into any Decoy Armor's [[Pretender]] or weapon form, or replace a ''Power of the Primes'' Leader's [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix]] core. Nexus Prime can also ride Legends Class figures and attach to Deluxe Class figures' chest armor, Voyager Class figures' bucklers, or Voyager Class figures' combined mode. Nexus Prime (along with the other three Prime Masters) can also mount onto the included [[Scepter of Sparks]] accessory.

:While Nexus is a retool of Alchemist (who came with [[Submarauder (G1)#Generations|Submarauder]] decoy armor), it is unknown what gang-molded decoy armor Nexus would have had as a hypothetical mass-retail Prime Master.

==Notes==
*It's hard to say what toyline Nexus Prime is from, as his components are from multiple franchises. The only other time this has happened since then was [[Orthia]].
*Nexus Prime's backstory bears a noticeable similarity to that of {{w|Voltron}}.
*Fun Publications stated at [[BotCon 2009]] that the official limb arrangement for Nexus Prime is that of the configuration in his instructions. With Landquake as the right arm, Breakaway as the left arm, Topspin as the right leg, and Skyfall as the left leg. Why he was depicted in a different arrangement in the caverns around the [[Caretaker]] no one knows.
*Ironically, despite being labeled as an Autobot, a majority of the Transformers that make up Nexus Prime are Decepticons, albeit ones that are [[Landquake (Timelines)|disenchanted by the Decepticon cause]], [[Topspin (Classics)|misled by deceitful leaders]], or [[Heatwave (Timelines)|a completely different kind of Decepticon]].
*Nexus Prime's TFCC magazine profile mentions that he "no longer has an [[alternate mode]]", due to being split apart for so long and then reassembled.
*With his components released one at a time, one per year, he's the combiner toy it took the longest to complete in an official capacity.
*Like other members of the Thirteen, Nexus was originally established as a [[multiversal singularity]] who existed as one being across all space and time, but that is [[Shroud|no longer the case]].

===Naming issues===
[[Fun Publications]] originally submitted the possible names '''Prime Nexus''' and '''Maximus Prime''' to [[Hasbro]] for the character (reflecting the fact that the character is a Prime in-fiction), Hasbro rejected these, apparently because they were feeling protective towards the use of the name Prime (despite previously having approved the fiction that named him a Prime, written by their own [[Forest Lee]]). Hasbro suggested merging the non-Prime segments of the two names instead... oops.

Apparently neither Hasbro nor Fun Publications did their research when naming Nexus Maximus, because there is another product which shares that name and was, as of [[May 24]], [[2009]], the top Google result (websites relating to this character have since surpassed it). While it is definitely a "toy", it is most assuredly not intended for ages 5 and up. According to the Fun Publications Club panel at [[BotCon 2009]], Hasbro did a search for the name with "safe search" on, causing them to not see... well, [http://www.edenfantasys.com/dildos/double-ended-dildos/nexus-maximus this]. '''NOTE: DEFINITELY NOT SAFE FOR WORK.'''

When he finally appeared in fiction his name was in fact given as Nexus Prime, which makes much better sense story-wise but deprives us of many cheap and easy joke opportunities. [[Pete Sinclair]] posted an image on the [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] forums of [[Aquarius (SG)|Aquarius]] blaming the "Nexus Maximus" name on a bad translation by [[Beta Maxx (RID)|Beta Maxx]].

(The debate is still on as to whether Nexus Maximus constitutes a choking hazard.)

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

==Toys==
===''The Transformers''===
[[File:G1 Ironhide toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Sit on my face and tell me that you love me.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Autobot Car, [[1984]])
**''Accessories:'' "Static Laser Gun", gun post, 3 missiles

:Ironhide was part of the original assortment of [[Autobot]] cars released in 1984, transforming into a red Nissan Sunny-Vanette Coach SGL and sharing his mold with the contemporaneously released [[Ratchet (G1)/toys|Ratchet]]. Ironhide splits when he transforms, with most of the rear section of his van mode transforming into a [[Onebox component|battle platform]], and the remainder becoming his rather misshapen, headless robot form. The robot can mount onto the battle platform, which is armed with a raising missile launcher and front-mounted "Static Laser Gun". Unusually for toys of this period, the Static Laser Gun can actually store when Ironhide is in vehicle mode, plugging into his undercarriage (although the missiles for his launcher and the peg required to attach the laser don't go anywhere).

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

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

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

**''Accessories:'' "Static Laser Gun", gun post, 3 missiles

:The original Ironhide toy was first reissued in 1990 alongside several other early Transformers as part of the European-exclusive [[Classics (Europe)|''Classics'']] range. He was functionally identical to his original release.

===''Generation 2''===

*'''Ironhide''' (Go-Bot, [[1995]])
**''Accessories:'' Gun

: Part of the second wave of [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]] focusing on Generation 1 characters, Ironhide transforms into a silver Ford F150 Flareside pickup truck. Using through-axle construction for his wheels, he is compatible with most "Hot Wheels" and "Matchbox" play sets and tracks.

: The mold is a [[redeco]] of ''Generation 2'' Go-Bots toy [[Motormouth]], and was later redecoed into the ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Spy Changer]] [[Ironhide (RID)|Ironhide]], the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Autobot [[Ironhide (RID)|Ironhide]], and the second ''Universe'' incarnation of [[Hoist (G1)/toys|Hoist]].

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

*'''Ironhide''' (Power Master, 1995)
**''Accessories:'' 2 guns

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

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

*'''Magnaboss''' (Ultra Class three-pack, [[1997]])
**''Accessories:'' 2 guns
{{note|The elephant Ironhide toy represents both the original Autobot and a [[Ironhide (BW)|latter-day Maximal]].}}

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

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

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

:Ironhide was made available in Japan for the first time as part of the ''[[The Transformers: Collector's Edition|Collector's Edition]]'' line of reissues, available exclusively from online retailer [[e-HOBBY]] in a two-pack with mold-mate Ratchet. As the first Japanese edition of Ironhide, this was the first time the toy had been given a [[List of Japanese ID numbers|Japanese ID number]].

===''Timelines''===
[[File:TL-toy Ironhide.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Red, red, and also red.]]
*'''Descent into Evil''' (Multi-figure boxset, 2005)
**''Accessories:'' Radar assembly/energon weapon, battle sled

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

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

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

===''Encore''===
[[File:Encoretoy-Ironhidewithhead.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|His head problem just became a shoulders problem.]]
*'''Ironhide''' ([[2007]])
**''ID number:'' '''05'''
**''Accessories:'' "Static Laser Gun", gun post, 3 missiles

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

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

*'''Ironhide Protect Black''' ([[2008]])
**''ID number:'' '''05'''
**''Accessories:'' "Static Laser Gun", gun post, 3 missiles

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

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

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

===''Universe'' (2008)===
[[File:TFU08-toy Ironhide.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Hey, I found my head! And that makes me sad.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Deluxe Class, 2008)
**''Series'': Classic Series
**''Accessories'': "Converting Cannon" gun/blade

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

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

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

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

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

*'''Ironhide''' (Deluxe Class, 2008-[[November 20|11-20]])
**''ID number'': '''C-11'''
**''Accessories'': Converting Cannon

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

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

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

: A [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]] version of the [[Devastator (Kre-O)|Devastator]] set comes with both a Kreon Ironhide and a full-build brick Ironhide, which can be rebuilt from an armored pickup truck (calling back to the ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]'' [[Ironhide (WFC)|incarnation of the character]], itself modeled after the [[Ironhide (Movie)|live-action film version]]) into a robot. The robot/truck build also features twin pressure-launch missile launchers, and a bonus human [[Gunner]] Kreon.

**''Set number'': '''A6086'''
**''Pieces'': '''38'''
**''Accessories'': Rack, large cannon, disruptor pistol, gripper-claw, double-bladed staff

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

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

: This version of Ironhide, has a different set of toy-based tampographs (with a very cartoon-based face), though his plastic colors are based more on the original cartoon model. He has oddly been given a [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Wheeljack]] wing-pack, despite neither the toy or cartoon giving him wings.

:He was only available in a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014 [[exclusive]] pack of 30 Kreons dubbed the "[[Kreon Class of 1984]]". Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, only there ''was'' no remaining stock after the show.

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

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

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

*'''Ironhide''' (Deluxe Class, 2015)
**''Accessories:'' Axe, "super-cooled nitrogen/white-hot molten lead" dual cannon/hand/foot/engine

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

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

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

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

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

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

**''ID number:'' '''MP-27'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 Laser pistols, Static Laser Gun, missile launcher, missile, 2 alternate hands, 4 nozzles, wrist [[sonodar]], chest screen, jetpack, 2 flare effects, battle sled, 2 faces
: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Ironhide is a new mold that transforms into a licensed Cherry Vanette. He is in the standard Masterpiece [[scale]] (since [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-9]]), standing between MP-10 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|Convoy]] and MP-12 [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Lambor]] in bot mode and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Convoy's trailer]] in vehicle mode.

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

:Since ''Masterpiece'' Ironhide's robot mode incorporates the entire vehicle mode, a separate "battle sled" piece has been included, based on the component of the original toy, that can store all of Ironhide's accessories, including a second face piece that stores on the underside of the sled. In an additional nod to the original G1 toy, specifically its lack of a proper head, there is a sculpted detail resembling the "face" decal that went on the seat of the original toy that is visible through the windshield in van mode, that gets tucked away in robot mode.

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

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

:Compared to the ''Combiner Wars'' release, Ironhide has numerous changes in deco to better match his look in the Generation 1 cartoon: While he shares an identical paint mask to the ''Combiner Wars'' figure, his black [[Unpaintable plastic|unpaintable parts]] are now in the same shade of light grey. Other changes include the stripes being yellow-y orange, a black paint is added on the front roof, and his gunmetal paint on the hood & wheel rims are now silver.

**''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''SG-17'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': '''[[April 27]], 2019'''
**''Hidden message code'': '''TRITHYLLIUM'''
**''Accessories:'' "W-35 LR Doomblast Forge Launcher"
:Part of the second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Ironhide transforms from robot to Cybertronian van and back. His vehicle mode takes several design cues from ''Titans Return'' [[Kup (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Sergeant Kup]], though it shares no parts or engineering with the mold. In keeping with the ''War For Cybertron'' trilogy's concerns with scale, Ironhide is a full head taller than most of his Deluxe-priced mates. He includes a gigantic missile launcher cannon called the "W-35 LR Doomblast Forge Launcher," compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], that can also convert into an equally gigantic hammer. As with all non-gimmick ''Siege'' figures, Ironhide features  "battle damage" paint applications on his lower shins, feet, and weapon. He also features multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

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

:Ironhide was redecoed into [[Deseeus Army Drone#Toys|Deseeus Army Drone]], given a new head as [[Crosshairs (G1)#Generations|Crosshairs]], and retooled into [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Ratchet]]. The mold was also extensively retooled into ''Earthrise'' Ironhide (below).

**''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''ER EX-18'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': '''[[February 20]], [[2021]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Pistol, Roof/Shield

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

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

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

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

:This pack was exclusive to [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] in the United States, Canada and Europe.

*'''Cybertron Hero Collection 22''' (Decoy multi-pack, 1985)

: Ironhide was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" soft rubber ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the figures in the series, Ironhide featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. He was available in red as part of a 22-piece box set of Autobot figures, in peach as part of various other randomly-packed box sets released by Takara subsidiary [[Seven]], and in a wide variety of different colors in "gachapon" capsule machines.

*'''Ironhide''' (Decoy, 1987)
**''Decoy number'': 7

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

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

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

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

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

: A fold-out "pseudo-figure" of Bumblebee "transforms" from a flat, yellow platform decorated with the Autobot symbol and the word "Transformers" to a robot by folding out. Bumblebee is represented by stickers decorated with artwork of the character on the top, bottom, and two fold out "arms". His name is also spelled out, across his feet in this mode.

: This mold was also used to create the [[Lunchables]] figure for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/merchandise|Optimus]], and [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys|Ironhide]]. A similar mold was used to creature the Lunchables figure for [[Megatron (Movie)/toys|Megatron]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and [[Starscream (Movie)/toys|Starscream]], though with the Decepticon symbol sculpted in instead of the Autobot one.

:The Bumblebee AllSpark Blaster is one of several Movie Roleplay toys. The toy consists of a blaster attached to Bumblebee's (hollow) hand which a child can slip their own hand inside like a glove and wield.

*'''Bumblebee Voice Changer'''
**''Parts:'' Antennas(l+r), Side pieces (l+r), Helmet top, Adjustable straps (pre-installed), Battery cover (pre-installed), Switch retainer (red!), AAA batteries (3), Helmet.

:The Bumblebee voice changer helmet, much like the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/merchandise#Optimus Prime Voice Changer|Optimus Prime helmet from 2007]], is a detailed helmet designed to... uhh... change your voice. Oh! And to make your head look like a highly detailed, and movie accurate replicate of Bumblebee. The helmet is nearly fully enclosed around the head, unlike the Prime helmet, and is adjustable so it can be sized to fit adults and children. The helmet is really, really yellow.

:The helmet features three different buttons, the ''voice mixer'', ''battle phrases'' and ''conversion sounds'' buttons.

:The ''voice mixer'' button makes the helmet modulate your voice and play wicked beats at the same time so you can get down with your bad self. The ''battle phrases'' are meant to sound like random radio mixing, but really sound like a couple of guys in a studio yelling at a microphone with silly voices. Enjoy fun phrases like, "You are no match for my new kung fu!" in a delightfully bad Chop Socky voice! However, there are at least a few radio voice clips from the actual movie. The ''conversion sounds'' button plays the transforming sound, or if you hold the button down plays the transforming sound as if it were being remixed live by a DJ on a turntable. Okay, y'know... like with a baby scratch or a backwards loop or something.

:The helmet has three play modes. There's ''demo'', ''on'' and the parents' favourite, ''off''. The helmet comes packaged in the ''demo'' mode with a ''switch retainer'' to keep it there. You'll need to take that sucker off to put him in the all important ''on'' mode. But don't throw it out! It's a really pretty red.

:In order to avoid language barriers, the European version doesn't play battle phrases. However, later releases did feature voiceclips.

When fired, a ring of red lights around the barrel flashes (totally awesome). If the trigger is only pulled half-way, a "charging" sound is made. There is also an Autobot sigil on the side that, when pressed, causes sound effects to be heard. These include conversion noises, a revving engine, and clips from [[Stan Bush]]'s "[[The Touch]]" (also awesome, but only in the "Try Me" setting, which is not quite as awesome).

He was again packaged with Barricade, now redecoed blue. Like all toys in the SpeedStars line, Bumblebee's Autobot insignia on the base of his vehicle mode has not been included, despite what the package art depicts.

=====''Stealth Force''=====
[[File:DOTM-SpeedStars-StealthForce-Leader-Bumblebee.JPG|thumb|400px]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (2011)
**''Accessories:'' Missile, two display stand halves
: A non-transforming mold that's larger than his Leader-Class toy with various lights and sounds.

: In his normal vehicle mode, pressing the small button below the [[Autobot]] [[insignia]] on his back windshield plays one of three sounds of him driving recklessly, with each sound having him driving, braking, and hitting things, or any combination of the three.

: His most prominent gimmick, however, is his Stealth Force mode: In his normal vehicle mode, pressing the Autobot symbol on the windshield plays the [[Transformation#The noise|transformation noise]], deploys various weapons on the roof, sides, and the side portions of the hood (where his stripes are), while his trunk extends, the fenders with his front wheels split open, and the central portion of his hood opens, raising and amusingly revealing his peeking robot head. The cannon on his roof is spring-loaded and functional, and is designed to fire the included [[missile]].

: Pressing the Autobot symbol each time during Stealth Force mode will play one of six sounds of Bumblebee saying something. A total of twelve sounds in a ''specific'' order are played before it repeats, with four sounds playing twice, one playing ''thrice'', and one playing once. Also, pressing the small button below the symbol this time will play one of a series of five sounds. It's essentially the three "reckless driving" sounds with an additional two sounds of him firing his weapons in between. [[You]] still have to fire the missile launcher manually, however.

: Pushing his trunk back into the vehicle will revert him back to his normal vehicle mode, playing the descending version of the transformation noise in the process.

: Finally, the two plastic covers of the sides of his [[packaging]] can be removed and used as a display stand, although they have no means of connecting together.

===Garoto===
[[File:DOTM_Easter_Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|"Congratulations, it's a Camaro!"]]
*'''Transformers: Dark of the Moon Easter egg''' (2012)

:Currently known to have only being available during the 2012 Easter season in [[Brazil]], local chocolate brand Garoto released a licensed ''Dark of the Moon''-themed chocolate egg that included a [[Blindpacking|blindpacked]] [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] or Bumblebee figure inside. Each figure is composed by two separate parts, the "robot mode" and the "vehicle mode".

:Bumblebee's robot mode is a very simple mold cast in yellow plastic with silver and black paint applications. His back is weirdly molded after his vehicle mode, so you can ''kind of'' imagine that he "transforms" when you lay him down. His actual vehicle mode, however, is a very little approximation of a Camaro, smaller than a RPM and completely hollow when looked from underneath. The main gimmick of the figure is that, when the vehicle mode is placed inside the robot mode and the latter is standing on a smooth surface, pressing the robot's head will open his whole body from chest to feet, forming a ramp and unleashing the vehicle in "high speed". Sadly, it doesn't ''really'' works, as the vehicle will probably just stop as soon as its out of the ramp.

:The instructions show drawings way more detailed than the actual figure that are clearly based on the [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#TF2007ConceptCamaro|original Concept Camaro Deluxe figure]] from the first ''Transformers'' movie toyline. It also includes a sticker of the Autobot insignia.

**''Accessories'': Display Stand, 2 Alternate Hand Sets, 2 Door-wing pieces, Blaster part, Alternate Battle Mask head

:3A Bumblebee is a non-transforming figure based on his appearance in the ''Bumblebee'' movie, standing at around 8 inches tall, notably smaller than most 3A Transformers figures made by the distributor. He has use of [[die-cast]] parts alongside heavy use of paint to match the weathering effects seen on the character model.

:Bumblebee's parts come out of the packaging with his door wings detached, one pair designed with the concept art in mind, with the other set designed to look more accurate to his on-screen appearance in the movie, attached via pegs. His right arm can be removed in order to replace it with the blaster piece, alongside the hands he has being able to be removed and replaced with alternate hands. Bumblebee also comes with a Display Stand that allows for him to be displayed with more stability or let you display him in a mid-air pose.

:Bumblebee comes with an alternate head based on the design with his battle mask down that has two LED lights in the eyes that can be activated when two LR-44 batteries are placed inside his head. His original head also has the light-up feature and requires the same amount of batteries to operate.

:Threezero Premium Bumblebee is a larger scaled variant of the 3A model of Bumblebee, standing at 14 inches tall and with much more detail and customization involved.

:Much like the 3A model, Bumblebee comes with a blaster, however the blaster now has a battery compartment where after placing in 8 AG-13 batteries, the cannon will light up to simulate a blast effect. His heads also now require 2 of the AG-13 batteries in order to use the light-up feature, but when the button on the heads is pressed twice, Bumblebee's LED eyes change from their blue color to red. Bumblebee also comes with a battle blade that attaches to his left arm. He also comes with a flexible plastic piece that inserts into his fingertip to replicate the scene where he stuck his fingers into an electrical outlet.

:Bumblebee also comes with 4 alternate eyebrow pieces that attach to make his expression change from a neutral look to sad, to angry, and to squinted in expression.

{{factions|autobot|autobotg2|wreckers}}
{{disambig3|Hubcap}}
:''Hubcap is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Hubcapg1.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Orange face and experimental dog energies not included.]]
Everybody likes '''Hubcap'''. He's friendly, always has a clever joke or compliment ready, and is generally a nice, fun, affable bot to be around. On the other hand, nobody actually ''trusts'' Hubcap. It's not his devotion to the [[Autobot]] cause that's the concern (mostly), but his ulterior motives for his friendship and jokes and the like. He is at his core a con artist, and everyone's a bit on their guard around him. Some think he's this way to cover for deficiencies or to stay in a position well above his actual aptitude level... or maybe he just likes tricking people. He doesn't seem to have made many enemies with his tricks and scams, though; quite the opposite. So perhaps it is all mostly harmless.

No-one doubts that he's got ''very'' good audio receptors, though, capable of picking up even the weakest of signals, which is why he's part of the Autobot communications hub. One can only guess as to what he might ''do'' with all he hears in that position, though.

==Fiction==
===''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' comic===
[[File:FSRLTFmanga8 Minibots.jpg|left|thumb|So which one of them is Tinky Winky?]]
Hubcap was part of a group who arrived to back up [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]], who was defending a [[Battle Dog|dog]] that had been cruelly experimented on by the [[Decepticon]]s from being hunted and captured by the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]]. He and the other [[Mini Vehicle|Minibots]] [[Minibot combiner|combined]] with Powerglide in their [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]s thanks to the energy within the dog, and, spinning furiously, smashed through [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]'s chest and out the other side in a flying drill attack. {{storylink|Fight!

===2005 IDW continuity===
{{First|[[Megatron Origin issue 3|''Megatron Origin'' #3]]}}

[[File:MegsOrigin4 Hubcap.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Actually doing his job!]]
Hubcap was secretly an [[Outlier (group)|outlier]], with the power to amplify or block any signal. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 4|Sins of the Wreckers #4}} Before the war, he was buddies with [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]], forming a trio of friends who would often enjoy [[Cybertronian sport#Races|the races]] together. {{storylink|Ghost Stories}}

Hubcap's dayjob was in the [[Senate]] Security Services. He was among the mourners at the funeral of his comrades [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]] and [[Fastback (G1)|Fastback]]'s funeral at [[Security Services Headquarters]] in [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], standing with his friends Bumblebee and Cliffjumper. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}} He later served at an Autobot communications post, trying to radio through to [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] for reinforcements during [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s "everything burns" offensive. In the end, the area was so devastated that Hubcap and the Autobots had to request evacuation from the area instead, leaving Kaon under Decepticon control. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 4|Megatron Origin #4}} Subsequently, when [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Orion Pax]] took over the security forces and began restructuring them, Hubcap was among the earliest troops who assembled under him—though [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]] didn't believe him or any of the others were ''real'' soldiers. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 13#Old Ways|Old Ways}}

In the early days of the Decepticon uprising, Hubcap and Cliffjumper's close friendship with Bumblebee came to an end when he began acting strange and they stopped hanging out with him, unaware he was the victim of mental manipulation by [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]]. {{storylink|Ghost Stories}} Hubcap eventually took up a job as an intelligence analyst {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 4|Sins of the Wreckers #4}} and partway through the war, he was listed as a potential candidate for a mission that was ultimately given to [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Wheelie}} He became good friends with [[Pipes (G1)|Pipes]] and the two would often write to each other. His communications expertise also gained him a friend in [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]]. {{storylink|Under Cold Blue Stars}}

[[File:SinsoftheWreckers4 HubcapTraumatized.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb|"''Pluh— please'', I-I beg [[Roadbuster (G1)|you]]... no... more... ''[[Ghostbusters]] references!!''"]]
Hubcap was later assigned as a cadet for training with the famous [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]], but the experience was a horrific one: Roadbuster had been hearing the voice of what he believed to be [[Mortilus]], god of death, and following its instructions, had been torturing and murdering his cadets. Violently beaten and forced to endure "[[Transform-up|mode-drilling]]"—constant transformation, over and over—Hubcap was taken to the brink of death, but moments before Roadbuster could "deliver" the cadets to his master, security forces under the command of [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] arrived in the nick of time and took Roadbuster into custody. Once repaired, Hubcap returned to his work as an analyst, but one day, stumbled across a stray transmission that filled him with fury: Roadbuster had been released after minimum rehab on Prowl's orders, as a favor to [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]]. The realization that the lives of little 'bots like him did not matter in the eyes of prime movers like Prowl tipped Hubcap over the edge; he fell in with the renegade scientist [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]], who also had a vendetta against Prowl, and was soon dredging up all sorts of dirt on Prowl that they could use against him. Even though Tarantulas admitted having ''been'' the voice of "Mortilus" that drove Roadbuster mad, the terrified Hubcap continued working with the spider in hope of seeing justice served, and the promise of getting a new, stronger body to use, so no one would ''ever'' overlook him again. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 4|Sins of the Wreckers #4}}

[[File:Hubcap sins of the wreckers 1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|left]]
After the war ended, Hubcap furthered Tarantulas' plot by becoming the administrator of [[Debris]], the [[Wreckers]]' space station headquarters, next to Roadbuster. The Wrecker didn't recognise him and assumed that with his reputation as a communications specialist, he must really want the job. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 1|Sins of the Wreckers #1}} {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 4|Sins of the Wreckers #4}} Pipes was disappointed when Hubcap wouldn't leave to join the ''[[Lost Light]]'' with him {{storylink|No Guns, No Swords, No Briefcases}} but the two stayed in touch; Pipes's last proper words before his death were a message sent to his friend. {{storylink|Under Cold Blue Stars}}

On the day that Tarantulas's revenge plan went into motion and he captured Prowl, Hubcap nervously approached Impactor and Roadbuster to warn them that the now incarcerated Wrecker [[Guzzle (G1)|Guzzle]] was about to break free of his makeshift prison. This was Impactor's first meeting with Hubcap, and he chose to question him about the station's other occupant, the comatose [[Springer (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Springer]], asking his opinion about him being kept on life-support. Fittingly enough, Springer chose that very moment to emerge from his coma, having been contacted by [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Kup]] for help in locating Prowl. Sufficiently motivated, Springer recruited Hubcap into a new iteration of the Wreckers and they travelled to [[Earth]] to rendez-vous with Kup and his allies [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] and [[Verity Carlo]]. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 1|Sins of the Wreckers #1}}

[[File:SinsoftheWreckers2 WreckersRollOut.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|right]]
While Arcee and Springer took to arguing over who they thought was responsible for Prowl's disappearance, Hubcap scanned the local area but was unable to find any trace of other Cybertronians nearby. Presently, the group came under attack from Tarantulas's employees, the anarchist organization [[Mayhem Attack Squad|Mayhem]], whose [[Beast mode|bio-disguises]] shielded them from Hubcap's sensors {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 2|Sins of the Wreckers #2}} (though of course, being in on the plan, Hubcap, ''knew'' they had been lurking around). {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 4|Sins of the Wreckers #4}} During the battle, gigantic Mayhem member [[Tidal Wave (G1)|Tidal Wave]] became stuck in mid-transformation, and Springer, Arcee, Roadbuster, Hubcap, and Verity all ran inside his cavernous body in order to access his teleport gateway to Tarantulas's pocket-dimension hideaway, the [[Noisemaze]]. Taking Mayhem member [[Claw Jaw]] captive, they had him open the gateway to the Noisemaze, and with Hubcap's "assurance" that he had detected no transmissions from Claw Jaw to alert Tarantulas to their coming, the team headed through. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 2|Sins of the Wreckers #2}}

[[File:SinsoftheWreckers3 HubcapBetrayal.jpg|left|upright=1.5|thumb]]
Upon arrival in the Noisemaze, Arcee, Springer, and Roadbuster were immediately rendered insensate by the Noisemaze's sensory maelstrom. Hubcap's frequency skills rendered him immune to the maze's effects, but when Claw Jaw—protected by neural blockers provided by Tarantulas—began laughing at the Autobots' plight, Hubcap was forced to use his powers to ''amplify'' the maze's effect on Claw Jaw, killing him before he could spill the beans about Hubcap's treachery to Verity. Verity's own ill health led to her passing out, and as her vision dimmed, Hubcap told her he admired her bravery in standing up to Prowl. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 3|Sins of the Wreckers #3}}

[[File:sotw4 hubcap's fall.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|right|"Perhaps, if you had more time... but then again, perhaps not. Redemption is a rare and special thing, after all. It is not for everyone."]]
When the team recovered consciousness, they were greeted with the sight of Hubcap standing at Tarantulas's side, and learned the full story behind the little 'bot's turn to the dark side. Hubcap vowed that he would expose every corrupt thing Prowl had done in the name of the "greater good," intending to beam it all out into the universe for everyone to see, but when push came to shove, it turned out he couldn't back up his big talk: Prowl made him see the potential for a new war to be ignited by the information if it reached the public, and all the loss of life that would be on Hubcap's hands if we went through with it. At the last second, just before transmitting the data, Hubcap relented and set the Wreckers free. As he led Prowl through [[Tor|Tarantulas's base]] to safety, he expressed relief that it was all over and that he could move on, even if he would have to do so in jail... only to turn around and see that Prowl had pulled a gun on him, having decided he possessed too much incriminating data to be allowed to live. Hubcap pleaded not just for his life, but for Prowl to see that, if he kept committing atrocities like that for the "greater good," everything would just keep happening all over again, as new victims sought restitution and revenge the way Hubcap had. Surprisingly, Prowl relented, seeing the logic in Hubcap's words and agreeing they had to be strong enough to end the cycle together. Impactor, lurking in the shadows, disagreed; believing it was too great a risk, he shot Hubcap through the chest, and the little 'bot plunged off the catwalk to his apparent death. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 4|Sins of the Wreckers #4}}

===''TransTech''===
[[File:Axiomnexusgonetoofar.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
After a routine [[space bridge]] accident, Hubcap and his best mech [[Jackpot (G1)|Jackpot]] ended up in the trans-dimensional processing hub of [[Nexus 208.0 Epsilon]] Cybertron. They were released into [[Axiom Nexus]] proper after being properly [[identification bolt|cataloged and tagged]] to wait until their exit visas came through. Their tour guide [[Scattorshot (Cybertron)|Scattorshot]], an Autobot from the [[Aurex]] [[universal stream|universal cluster]], explained the deal with the [[Transcendent Technomorph|TransTech]]s, but Hubcap didn't get much further than "I hate quantum." The whole TransTech v. [[Lowtech|Offworlder]] system put Hubcap on edge, but Jackpot convinced him to live a little and mix it up with the locals.

While looking for someone to float them a line of credit, the two Autobots visited a local bank, only to be quickly escorted to the curb after Hubcap began loudly explaining all the ways the basic contract was designed to screw over the lendee long-term. Mixing their needs for adventure and profit, Hubcap and Jackpot journeyed to the relatively unpoliced Zone 6, and hit the scene at [[The Blue Deployer]]. Hubcap was initially annoyed at the low-level jamming field in the tavern that threw a blanket over his special senses, but soon perked right up when he saw the gambling tables. Hubcap got on a winning streak in his game, squaring off against a local Decepticon named [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]], and bet it all on what he thought was an unbeatable hand in [[Cybertronian sport#Fullstasis|Fullstasis]]. Unfortunately for their coin-purse, Jackpot wandered over at that moment and his luck-warping field (combined with the natural observer's bias when dealing with quantum mechanics) sent Gutcruncher's hand into superposition, costing Hubcap everything or, as he put it, "''fifty-slagging-three-slagging-thousand slagging credits!''"

Gutcruncher liked the cut of Hubcap's metal, and offered him a business opportunity to meet for later than night. Hubcap and Jackpot were in agreement to ''Never Trust a Decepticon'' when The Blue Deployer's patron, [[Cryotek (TransTech)|Cryotek]], interjected his opinion. He convinced the duo to take Gutcruncher up on his offer and see what their options were. A few hours later, Hubcap and Jackpot found themselves with mezzanine-level seats to the start of a war—Gutcruncher was rallying all the offworlder gangs and unions to strike back at the TransTechs and seize their transcendent technology for themselves. And, as the universe attempted to prove any situation could always get worse, a photon charge suddenly went off directly behind the duo, atomizing Gutcruncher's skull and leaving every crooked crankshaft and gear-spitting gang member in Axiom Nexus gunning for their heads.

Hubcap and Jackpot led their pursuers on a merry chase, but could find no help at The Blue Deployer or from their own doppelgangers in the Nexus. Finally, they were caught by agents of the [[Axiom Nexus Security Administration|Security Administration]] and hauled in to the cops. Hubcap tried to explain to [[Cheetor (TransTech)|Commander Cheetor]] that his [[Tech Spec|tech-spec]]s just didn't allow this level of violence, but Cheetor was already way ahead of them: ''obviously'' they didn't do it, but ''obviously'' the gangs weren't going to stop and listen to a reasoned explanation. He was planning to hold them indefinitely, so Hubcap set off his engines to create a smokescreen long enough for them to escape. Still lacking anything that resembled a cunning plan, Hubcap and Jackpot continued running around the back alleys of Axiom Nexus, occasionally out-maneuvering the [[Malignus (G1)|Malignus]] gang with sonic decoys and lucky electrocutions.

[[File:BlackShadowHubcap GoneTooFar.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5|Can't we talk about this? I'm good at *erkk* talking...]]
This might have gone on for ages if the REAL killer hadn't tracked them down. [[Black Shadow (G1)|Black Shadow]], one of Cryotek's employees, had been responsible for the execution of Gutcruncher, and was planning to add two more kills to his record. After all, icing the two Autobots not only prevented them from clearing their names and implicating him, it also gave him a shot at a second payday once he collected the bounty placed on their heads by Gutcruncher's second, [[Dirge (Timelines)|Dirge]]. The Autobots let him keep monologuing until they were ready to make a break for it. Unfortunately, Black Shadow was a [[Pretender]] ([[Crossformer]], really), and splitting up did little to improve their odds. Hubcap tried to outrun the flying Decepticon by hitching a ride on a passing jet mode Transformer. He used a high-pitched whine from his audio systems to pretend he was equipped with an [[Exponential Generator|exponential generator]], forcing his unwilling carrier to participate in the getaway. The next part of his plan was a bit dangerous, deliberately amplifying his voice and identifying himself to draw out the Malignus and Gutcruncher's lackeys. It worked, and just as Black Shadow was going to choke the life out of him and / or hand him over to Dirge and the Malignus for something even worse, Hubcap activated his internal playback and broadcasted Blackie's gloating confession for all to hear. After then tricking Black Shadow into identifying his guns as the murder weapons, the jury was in—the assembled gangs tore the assassin limb from limb.

Although they had successfully cleared their names, Commander Cheetor had deemed the two Autobots "undesirables" and fast tracked their exit visas as soon as possible, sending them on their way to [[Primax 207.0 Epsilon|a universe similar to their own]]. Hubcap and Jackpot ended up crash-materializing atop a Decepticon named [[Killzone]], who was rampaging through a primitive civilization. A short talk with the locals revealed the planet was polluted with a certain kind of [[energon cube|squarish rock that glows and explodes when you hit it]]. As they arranged to contact the Autobot army for pick-up, Hubcap began negotiating with [[Yurgeth]] to remove all those nasty rocks...free of charge, of course. {{storylink|Gone Too Far}}

In [[2010]], Hubcap was among the reinforcements sent from [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] to [[Switzerland]] via the [[Geneva Space Bridge Nexus]]. He assisted [[Pyro (G1)|Pyro]]'s Autobots against the [[Decepticon Syndicate]], and was exposed to [[forestonite]] gas that gave him new super-powers. {{storylink|Generation 2: Redux}} Two years later, he accompanied Pyro and several others to follow up on a distress call from [[Nebulos]]. Upon arriving, they discovered that scientist [[Hi-Q]] had disappeared. Hubcap used his forestonite-enhanced powers of persuasion to convince Hi-Q's lab assistant, [[Hi-Test (G1)|Hi-Test]] to reveal the existence of Hi-Q's extensive security system. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 3}} Following clues from the surveillance recordings, Pyro and his team tracked the kidnapped Nebulon to [[Qre]], where they were quickly incapacitated and captured by [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 4}} After [[Sideswipe (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Sideswipe]] freed everyone, they rescued Hi-Q, destroyed the base, and returned to Earth. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 6}}

*'''Hubcap''' (Mini-Vehicle, [[1986]])
**''Takara ID number:'' '''C-57'''

:Released in the third year of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original toy line]] in the US (second year in Japan), Hubcap is a [[retool]]ing of the [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys|Cliffjumper]] "penny-racer"-proportioned Porsche 924 Turbo sports car mold, giving him a new [[robot mode]] head and "no spoiler". (His seeming lack of a spoiler is actually scale-accurate to the spoiler found on the real Porsche 924 and 944.) He is sometimes mistaken for the variant yellow Cliffjumper, and even occasionally for [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]], who has a similar transformation, but an entirely different mold for his car parts and robot head.

:In 1986, he was made available as a mail-away item (incorrectly labeled as Cliffjumper) in the "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]" and "[[The Autobots Are Under Attack!]]" fliers packed with most boxed ''Transformers'' toys. He cost $3.50 and one [[Robot Point]]. The instruction booklet to mail-away Hubcap (sometimes bundled with [[Warpath (G1)|Warpath]] and [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]]) also incorrectly refers to him as "Cliffjumper".

: The initial releases of all Mini Vehicles and [[Special Teams]] in 1986 were part of a promotional campaign that featured reflective [[iron-on patch]]es as part of a contest. Later in the year, packages without bonus patches were released.

: He was released in [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s version of the line in a small box with a collector's card, rather than a bubble-card like the Hasbro version.

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

{{G1CliffjumperMold}}

{{-}}{{anchor|IGA}}
*'''Hubcap''' (Mini Vehicle, 1987)

: In the Mexican ''Transformers'' line produced by [[IGA]], Hubcap was ''probably'' released as a straight [[redeco]] of Cliffjumper, sold on Hubcap cards. He came in two different, but closely-similar color schemes: white-and-black, and flat-silver-and-black. Both versions feature red faces. The reasoning for the white version may lie in the [[Toy Fair 1986]] catalog, which shows a prototype Hubcap—still using the Cliffjumper mold—in white with a red face.

: We say "probably" because while IGA appears to have done this old-mold-new-colors-sold-as-new-character move with all of the third-year retooled Mini Vehicles, so far [[Tailgate (G1)#IGA|Tailgate]] and [[Swerve (G1)#IGA|Swerve]] are the only ones that have been confirmed with carded samples. All of the IGA versions of probably-Hubcap, [[Outback (G1)#IGA|Outback]], and [[Pipes (G1)#IGA|Pipes]] have only been found loose. So it is highly likely, but we do not yet have mint condition proof. On top of that, [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#IGA|Bumblebee]] was also released in the same red-faced color schemes later in IGA's line, just adding to the confusion. Fun!

: IGA Transformers also eventually made their way to a variety of European markets, slightly decreasing their rarity.

: Given its prototype-based appearance, the white version of this Hubcap toy can [[Repurposing|reasonably serve]] as the ''[[Transformers: Wings Universe|Wings Universe]]'' incarnation of [[Rest-Q (G1)|Rest-Q]].

*'''Hubcap''' (Mini-Vehicle, [[1993]])

:Hubcap was re-released as part of the first batch of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toys in the US, this time in shiny chrome red. There's speculation that this was because [[Hasbro]] had intended to release Cliffjumper instead but didn't have the mold, but it seems more likely it was simply to keep him from looking too much like his assortment partner [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Bumblebee]]. Likely due to the figure's production process, it's basically impossible to find a copy of him that doesn't have a pair of chips in the chrome on his front bumper/robot mode feet, as pictured here.

:''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' Hubcap transforms into a hot rod based on a 1930s-style car of indeterminate make, but most closely related to the Willys 77 (with some elements of its successor, the Americar). His feet appear to be based upon the iconic foot design of the Japanese mecha franchise ''{{w|Gundam}}''. Compared to other toys from the [[live-action film series]], his transformation consists of a mere three or four very easy steps.

:Like most toys in the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toyline]], Hubcap features a standard Autobot [[insignia]] rather than the live-action movie style Autobot insignia.

:This mold would also have been used to make ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Downshift (TF 2010)#Toys|Downshift]], but that release was cancelled.

**''Series'': '''''War for Cybertron: Earthrise'''''
**''ID number:'' '''WFC-GS13'''
**''Accessories:'' Three-piece blaster, two skis, car trunk

:A ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' add-on to ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'', Hubcap is a redeco/retool of [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Cliffjumper]], sporting a new head. Hubcap transforms from robot into a 1980s sports coupe that is strongly reminiscent of his original Porsche 924 Turbo alt-mode, though with a front end which resembles that of the {{w|Mitsubishi Starion}}, while omitting the Penny Racer aesthetic. Hubcap also has molded high-performance brake discs, a surprising detail for a mainline ''Transformers'' figure. Much like Cliffjumper's other mold-mates, Hubcap's depiction as being rather small in most ''Transformers'' media means this figure is much shorter than a typical Deluxe-priced figure and is closer to being a particularly large Legends-priced figure. Like all Deluxe Class figures of the ''War for Cybertron'' subline, Hubcap includes numerous 3 mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] for attaching other accessories as part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], but due to his small size he cannot easily accommodate an entire Weaponizer or [[A.I.R. Lock System|Modulator]] figure. Additionally, he is highly articulated for a mainline Legends-sized Transformer, with over 90-degree ankles and two-way elbows, and a complex transformation scheme. Undocumented in the instructions, Hubcap's neck is actually mounted on a ball-joint, and when popped out of its housing offers a larger range of articulation.

:The rest of his price-point is made up with Hubcap's large cannon. It can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis that can attach under his wheels. The backend of the cannon is folded out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed, while also being usable as a melee weapon. It can also mount on either his thigh or on the side or top of his shoulder meaning you can put the entire cannon in these spots. Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car trunk can either be put into the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with the help of a flip-out peg. This peg and the backend of the cannon use a unique post and port to connect to each other.

:Almost ''all'' of Hubcap's yellow coloring is painted, with only his head and forearms being bare yellow plastic. While this avoids color disparity, particularly in vehicle mode, it also means he is ''incredibly'' prone to paint chipping. So, uh, be careful handling him.

:This mold was differently retooled into ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Bug Bite (G1)#Generations|Bug Bite]] and ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Goldbug (SG)#Generations|Goldbug]], and further retooled into ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Bumblebee]].

==Notes==
[[File:ToyFair1986-TFpage01a-TailgateHubCap.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Hubcap before discovering spray on tan.]]
* In the pre-[[Toy Fair 1986]] catalog, Hubcap (actually just a redecoed [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Cliffjumper]]) is featured with a white car body, a black chest/torso, and a red face. Fellow 1986 [[Mini Vehicle]] [[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]] appears in Hubcap's final colors, though. The white "Hub Cap" would eventually become the basis for the non-toy character [[Rest-Q (G1)|Rest-Q]].
** Also in the pre-Toy Fair 1986 catalog, Hubcap's photo shows him mistransformed: his arms are not extended, making him look like his only limbs are his legs.
** This photo also lends credence to the theory that Mexican licensee [[IGA]]'s white and silver versions of [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Cliffjumper]] are in fact supposed to be Hubcap; unfortunately, no carded samples of these variants have been found yet to provide concrete proof. Further backing this theory up is that IGA released several year-one Mini Vehicles in year-three decos... including a (very rare) yellow [[Windcharger (G1)#Toys|Windcharger]] on a [[Tailgate (G1)#Toys|Tailgate]] card, and look what color Tailgate is in that photo....
* Despite his availability with the rest of the '86 Mini-Vehicle assortment, Hubcap was completely absent from contemporary Western Generation 1 fiction. No [[character model]] was drawn up for him, and he was not included in either the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]] or the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel comic]]. He was even missing from Marvel's ''[[The Transformers Universe]]'' bio series, despite having a full-length bio written by [[Bob Budiansky]]. The reason for this omission is unknown.
* Speaking of that full-length bio, it notes that Hubcap's phosphorescent windscreen acts as a television monitor.<ref>http://boltax.blogspot.com/2010/12/extended-bios.html Hubcap's full bio at "Disciples of Boltax"</ref> This is ''awesome''.
* The fan-commentary track for [[Sony]]'s 2006 release of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' erroneously claims that a generic robot resembling Bumblebee seen on Unicron's conveyor belt late in the film is Hubcap.
* In [[Fun Publications]]' stories, his personality and mannerisms are based on comedian-magician {{w|Penn Jillette}}.

'''[[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.

**''TakaraTomy name:'' '''EZ Collection Bumblebee'''

: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 June 2 in midnight, 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]].

*'''Bumblebee Scanning Version''' (''Hyper Hobby'' magazine exclusive freebie, 2007)

:A Japanese-exclusive version of the Legends Bumblebee toy, Bumblebee Scanning Version (バンブルビー　スキャニング Ver.) uses transparent plastics for his yellow parts. He was available as a freebie for the September 2007 issue of the ''Hyper Hobby'' magazine. The toy itself is almost entirely unpainted, save for some metallic blue for his eyes, and silver for his face and for the tampographed Autobot symbol on his chest.

:At least some unsold units (often with (or without) the box and without the magazine) were available in some Hobby Shop dealers in Asia. Fortunately, they're sold at a similar price to current Legion Class figures.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Classic Camaro, 2007)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''MA-03'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[June 2]], 2007
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles, left and right spring-loaded missile launchers

:The first Deluxe Class version of Movie 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 Movie 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.

:A redeco of the Japanese version of the Classic Camaro Bumblebee sculpt, Bumblebee Limited Metallic Color Version (バンブルビー限定メタリックカラー Ver., ''Bumblebee Gentei Metallic Color Ver.'') was exclusively available with the purchase of a ticket for the movie in Japanese Lawson stores. It retained the clear blue windows and missiles of the standard Japanese release, but it is unclear if this release used the uneven Automorph gimmick from the second run. Unlike most of his Classic Camaro mold mates, this Bumblebee is practically spotless.

:This set features an unaltered Deluxe Class [[Longarm (Movie)#TowedToSafety|Longarm]] figure and a Deluxe Class 1976 Camaro Bumblebee figure. The window box features a diorama background of the battle in [[Mission City]] (basically the same packaging inner tray from the "Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter" pack). 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.

:For this two-pack, Hasbro slightly retooled Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick again, adding another small tab that finally resolved the breakage issues that had plagued the previous variation of the mold.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38149 Allspark thread about the second retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref>

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''TakaraTomy name'': '''New Bumblebee'''
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''MA-10'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[August 9]], 2007
**''Accessories:'' [[Plasma cannon]]

:The second Deluxe Class Bumblebee toy, which shares no parts with the previous one (even the head, despite being based on the same general design, is a different sculpt), 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. All international versions came in English-only US-style packaging, but lacked the "Only at Target" sticker.

:Stealth Bumblebee is an extensive redeco and minor retool of the Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee toy.

Other color differences include changing the robot mode body parts from black to gray and adding bright blue ''AllSpark Power'' decos.

**''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]] 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"/>).

: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

:Similar in appearance to the second Deluxe-class Bumblebee toy, albeit much larger and more complex, the 'Ultimate' version of Bumblebee also transforms into the 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.

Like most Cyber Slammers, Bumblebee manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

: This toy was later redecoed into [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Cyber Slammers|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (2008)
**''ID number:'' '''TS-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[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 golden plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This golden-and-grey lump 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 nineteen armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a Camaro Concept.

: 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.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''EZ-03'''

:''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]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-03'''
**''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.

*'''Cannon Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-14'''

:This heavy retool of Bumblebee changes the entire upper half of the robot mode, and thus half of the car, to newly designed parts (essentially, only the legs are recycled from ''Movie'' Concept Camaro Bumblebee and the previous ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee; everything else is an entirely new sculpt), including more articulated arms with open palms, less obstructive vehicle [[kibble]], a differently transforming chest, and two flip-out (non-firing) missile launcher racks behind his head. 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. A [[variant]] with clear blue windows was released in later shipments.<ref name="cannonbee">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/cannon-bumblebee/1855/2/92/ Comparison between both versions of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Cannon Bumblebee.]</ref>

:A minor redeco and retool Cannon Bumblebee that replaces the head sculpt with the much smaller battle mask head previously used by Stealth Bumblebee and Premium Bumblebee from the 2007 movie line. The base plastic colors and matching paint colors are virtually identical to those of Cannon Bumblebee, as are the [[Paint operation|paint masks]] for the most part. Aside from the head, the only differences are different paint choices in the abdominal section (the license plate, the sculpted cylinders above the license plate and the crotch plate below the gas cap), the front sides of the shoulder cannons (painted black on Cannon Bumblebee, painted red on Battlefield Bumblebee) and a different size and placement for the [[tampograph]]ed Autobot [[insignia|logo]] (on the side of Cannon Bumblebee's left shoulder cannon panel, on the front end of Battlefield Bumblebee's vehicle mode hood/robot mode chest).

:Battlefield Bumblebee was only available in a two-pack with a redecoed [[Soundwave (ROTF)/toys#Infiltration|Soundwave]], named "Infiltration Soundwave".

:As for the Bumblebee figure, he features pinned shoulder panels used for the Alliance Bumblebee release above. It was unclear if he retains the original metallic paint job from the ''Premium Series'' figure.

: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.

**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-21'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 Missiles

: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.

: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.

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 windows are cast in transparent green plastic with green trim and the outsides of his arms are also painted green. Additionally, there is a green stripe running across and between the fenders on each side with green accents on the face and helmet as well. The face has been painted silver and lacks the pupils of the previous deco. His thumbs are now black and the tailpipes have been painted gunmetal. The tiny Autobot symbol by the driver's side door has been replaced with a larger white one on the right rear window. He came packaged with a Legends [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] redeco.

:Essentially a redeco of "Bombing Run Battle" Bumblebee (using the same shade of yellow plastic) but using the head of the [[#VsSoundwave|Battlefield Bumblebee]]. All of the green parts have been replaced with a chocolate brown (including the tires), with brown stripes over his eyes which run across the top of his battle helmet. 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. There are also silver "scratches" on both doors as well as the driver's side of the hood. He has a tiny black-on-white Autobot symbol on his lower abdomen. Unlike previous versions of this mold, the rear lights, tailpipes, and lower front headlights are unpainted.

:He was packaged with redecoes of [[Rampage (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 2|Rampage]] and [[Ravage (ROTF)#RampageAmongTheRuins|Ravage]] and available exclusively at Toys"R"Us stores.

*'''Battle Ops Bumblebee''' (2010)

: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. Unfortunately, it only repeats the first two verses.

Additionally, the tip of his cannon is [[Vacuum metallizing|chromed]]. He comes with two "Great Value" toys: an unchanged Legends-Class [[Mudflap (ROTF)#BattleOpsCostco|Mudflap]] figure and a "Premium" vacuum-metallized gold redeco of Bumblebee's own ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends-Class figure.

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece: Movie Series]]'' Bumblebee is a redeco of Battle Ops Bumblebee. Unlike the Hasbro version, he features a very extensive paint job, including chromed rims, and features no yellow plastic despite his appearance. Instead, all of his yellow parts are painted over gray plastic to make it as [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] as possible. Among other notable plastic color changes, the [[TakaraTomy]] version features a clear colorless right hand (instead of translucent blue). The Hong Kong release of the toy features a shiny metallic gold finish instead.

**''ID number'': '''MPM-3'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': '''[[July 29]], [[2017]]'''
**''Accessories'': Removable "Stinger Blaster"

: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, into a Concept Camaro seen in the first live-action movie, and his right hand can be replaced with a Stinger Blaster. He also features die-cast parts on his bottom legs & his feet. His Stinger Blaster can store underneath its vehicle mode.

: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. As with the ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class Neo-Scanning Bumblebee figure, he was casted in rally yellow plastic rather than the usual orange-yellow.

: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. In Greece, he was officially available via at least one toy store chain, aptly named simply "Toys-Shop", but again might have been available online only.

:For accessories, he comes with a battle mask that fits over his head, and Stinger Blaster and Sword alternate arms replacing the hands and part of the forearms. The unused arm parts and the battle mask can be stored on the robot's back. As an additional gimmick, the headlights on his chest can be lifted up to reveal missile racks.

:In the United States, he was available only on [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]]. He later saw re-release as a [[Target]] exclusive, coinciding with ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' (though not branded as part of it).

His right hand is sculpted as his Plasma Cannon, while his left hand has the ability to hold onto Cyberverse [[C joint|3mm post]] weapons and interact with Cyberverse playsets.

: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 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.

When a lever is pulled back on the "Blaster" weapon, it opens up into a larger "Plasma Cannon", but it springs back into its original position once the lever is left alone. 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. Take note that the joints are strong enough to hold the MechTech blaster until it wears off over time of play.

: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, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release. This mold was also used to make ''Movie The Best'' [[Laserbeak (DOTM)#Movie The Best|Laserbeak]].

*'''Nitro Bumblebee''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''DA18'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Cybertronian Boost Engine/Plasma Cannon

:Nitro Bumblebee is an all-new mold, featuring booster engines, armor plating and other Stealth Force-like design elements sculpted onto the vehicle mode. He transforms rather differently to most of the other Deluxe class Bumblebee molds, with much of the entire front of the car being articulated chest pieces rather than the usual front fenders separating from the rest of the chest. Also of note are his legs, which are considerably different in appearance and transformation to the standard set by the 2007 ''Transformers'' Deluxe class (Camaro Concept) Bumblebee, with the rear wheels ending up inside of his ankle. 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 in actuality an entirely 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.

**''Accessories:'' Plasma Cannon

: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.

: An all new mold, 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)

: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.

**''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). 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).

The Japanese release of the toy, released as part of ''[[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.

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.

*'''War Hammer Bumblebee''' ([[March 24|3-24]]-[[2018]])
**''ID number'': '''MB-18'''
**''Accessories'': Removable Stinger Blaster, Hammer

:This Bumblebee is a ''slightly'' redecoed re-release of the second ''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.

:Arm Gun Bumblebee is a redeco/slight retool of the [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#2014Deluxe|''Age of Extinction'' Bumblebee]] figure, featuring a new flip-out right hand which also doubles as a 5mm port and a flip-out cannon, and he comes with a new [[Death-lock pincer|Clawed Plasma Cannon]] which can be wielded by his right hand, or mount onto his vehicle mode. While the paint applications are identical to the (second) Takara release of the figure, Bumblebee also features a brighter yellow paint & plastic previously used for his ''The Last Knight'' toys, features additional paint operations on the rocker panels, the headlights are now brighter blue, and the windows are now smoke gray. Stock photos for his robot mode are mistransformed: his shoulder armors are not folded down.

He's also one of the first few toys released that feature Bumblebee's featured alt mode from the movie.

:[[Tiny Turbo Changers]] Bumblebee is a small, stumpy, soft-plastic [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] mini-figure that changes from robot to a Concept Camaro 2016 with just a few simple steps. He features hands that are compatible with ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' weapons and other 3mm post accessories. Like all Tiny Turbo Changers, his vehicle-mode tires do not spin, sorry. His legs are attached backwards in package. However, his legs can be easily dismantled from the hood/feet & the waist, flipping the legs backwards, and reassembled.

:Despite bearing the Concept Camaro 2016-ish vehicle mode, his robot mode sculpt and paint applications resemble his appearance in ''Age of Extinction''.

:He and the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#TinyTurboChanger|Optimus Prime]] were available in the first two Series of the line, with no noteworthy changes between releases – even Bumblebee's misassembled legs and their bag codes remain unchanged. Their instruction books were, however, updated to say "Series 2".

: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.

: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 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, and the baby blue paint operations for the eyes are changed to a darker tone.

:The 2017 Camaro Bumblebee figure 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.

**''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 1976 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.

: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 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.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2018)
**''Movie'': '''''Bumblebee'''''
**''Hasbro ID number'': '''18'''
**''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''SS-16'''
**''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.

Deco omissions on the 2016 Camaro Bumblebee include the silver on the leg parts and shoulders. There is more black paint on the rocker panels and the front bumper. 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.

:The CG stock photos on the packaging depict the 1967 Bumblebee having silver paint on his feet, while the 2016 Camaro Bumblebee possesses painted lower legs and kneecaps.

:The "California Hideout" backdrop is actually identical to the "Charlie's Garage" backdrop included with the first VW release.

**''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''SS-19'''

**''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]].

:Part of the fifth wave of ''Studio Series'' Deluxe Class toys, "Clunker Bumblebee" is a redeco of [[#Studio Series|the ''Studio Series'' 1976 Camaro Bumblebee]], and sports a deco representing the beat-up look he had when first found by Sam, and even comes with a backdrop of [[Bolivia's Finest Quality Used Cars and Petting Zoo]]!

: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.

:The fifth general retail Bumblebee figure in the ''Studio Series'' lineup, this Bumblebee transforms into his 2008 Concept Camaro form in 39 steps, and with some transformation cues taken from from [[#ThirdTLKDeluxe|''The Last Knight Premier Edition'' Bumblebee]] and the 1976 Camaro mold from the same subline. His head also 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 that can be simply plugged into his hand, without the need to replace his arm. He comes with a cardboard backdrop display based on the tunnel interior where he scanned his new vehicle mode in ''Transformers''. Though not depicted at right, his door-wings can be tilted upward to more accurately replicate their orientation in the movie.

:Because of the physical space needed to store the arms in vehicle mode, this results in Bumblebee having a thin waist (with a front stomach panel to compensate) when viewed on sideways.

: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.

: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.

:Another new mold based on Bumblebee's appearance in the 2007 movie and later the last pre-credits scene in the ''Bumblebee'' movie, he 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.

Based upon the Bumblebee Camaro prop as it appears in ''Dark of the Moon'', the package consists of Rally Yellow exterior color, with black rally stripes that stretched over the hood, roof, and decklid, a ''Dark of the Moon''-inspired high-wing rear spoiler, 20-inch, black-painted wheels with performance tires, and Autobot Shield logos on the center caps and front quarter panels.

:Additionally, two dealer-installed options were available: exclusive, 21-inch, black-painted wheels, and a black ground-effects package.

==Notes==
*A weapon considered for Bumblebee was a pair of arm-mounted electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stingers]]. The Bumblebee Camaro '09 toy's blade weapon might have been influenced by this early concept.
*[[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. Archer suggested a need for a certain amount of yellow-colored toys in each wave, hence the large amount of Bumblebees released per wave.

With the evergrowing [[Generation 1 continuity family]], '''[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]''' continues to receive more toys—the largest number of toys in fact—for any single ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' character! The more Generation 1 Optimus Prime toys that are made, the harder it is for us here at TFWiki.net to keep documenting them all in a single article without it resulting in [[you]]r internet browser freezing!

For the sake of finding an easy and definitive split from the main toy article, we have opted to make this page strictly for the various ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]''-branded toylines, as this appears to be the brand [[Hasbro]] will likely continue adding Generation 1 characters to for the foreseeable future.

Another undocumented feature is that the butt of the Ion Blaster can be inserted between the barrels of Roller's weapon mode to form a longer weapon. Also not shown in the instructions but depicted on the stock photo on the card-back is that Prime's shoulderpads can be rotated up; the intended positioning for this is notched, although you can position them at other angles.

: The stock photo of Optimus' vehicle mode is slightly mistransformed: his head slightly sticks out from the truck roof, which prevents the front windows to clamp together. This mold was also used to make ''Thrilling 30'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Generations|Nemesis Prime]], and retooled into ''Combiner Wars'' [[Huffer (G1)#Generations|Huffer]] and [[Pipes (G1)#Generations|Autobot Pipes]].

*'''Orion Pax''' (Deluxe Class, 2013)
**''Series / Number'': '''02 / #002'''
**''Accessories'': Ion Blaster, Energon Axe

:Part of the fifth wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, ''Thrilling 30'' Orion Pax is a new mold with a robot mode inspired by [[Guido Guidi]]'s [[:File:SpotlightBlurr-Optimus.jpg|design for the character, originally seen]] in ''[[Spotlight: Blurr]]''. Some liberties have been taken with the original concept to facilitate his truck mode, which is a new design not based on the Guidi art. He comes with his [[Ion blaster#Deluxe|Ion Blaster]] and an [[Energon-axe#Deluxe|Energon Axe]] with a transparent red-orange blade, both of which can peg onto 5 mm ports on his hands and vehicle rear sides. Although not depicted on the instructions, the Ion Blaster can also peg into the hole in the larger blade of the Energon Axe. Even though the light-piping eyes are neutered by light blue paint, the side grooves are still able to light up as the paint only focuses on the central optic.

:The American release is packed in with a copy of IDW's ''[[Omega's Conundrum|Spotlight: Orion Pax]]'', which sports a 'Hasbro Exclusive Cover' cropped from the [[Clayton Crain]] [[:File:Spotlight OrionPax cvrRI.jpg|retailer incentive cover]] for the issue. In Europe and Canada, the figure was released without the Spotlight.

:Depending on how many painted layers on the Energon axe's hilt, inserting it onto any hand may cause it to scratch off.

:Most of the first-wave Orion Pax toys released in monolingual English [[packaging]] sport a bizarre [[quality control#Packaging images and labelling|error]]: The [[package art|character art]] on the side of the cardboard insert inside the blister bubble has the character art of Orion's [[wave]]-mate [[Megatron (G1)/Generations toys#T30Deluxe|Megatron]] superimposed over Orion's own art. This error doesn't appear on the [[Multilingual packaging|European packaging]].

:The toy was later [[Redeco|recolored]] and [[retool]]ed to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Lio Convoy#timelinestoy|Lio Convoy]], [[Optimus Prime (SG)#NovaPrime|Nova Prime]], and [[Galva Convoy#Toys|Galva Convoy]]. The mold was designed with a pre-tooled [[Kup (G1)/toys#Generations|Kup]] alternate head that remains unused.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/PetesRoboCon/posts/569672986709925</ref>

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2015)
**'''3 OF 5: [[Ultra Prime]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Two blasters (combine into large rifle)

: Part of the first wave of ''Generations: [[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Voyager Class toys, this is a bigger, bulkier incarnation of Optimus Prime with a striking resemblance to Ginrai. He comes with two blasters which he holds via 5 mm post. One of the guns is based on his trademark Ion Blaster, and both weapons store on the back of his vehicle mode as a makeshift engine block. His torso mode has several details that appear to be influenced by [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Energon|''Energon'' Optimus Prime]]'s super mode, including the head, chest, and thighs. In particular, the chest details are modeled after the [[Spark of Combination]]. He also features two pair of fake windows on his robot and gestalt chest halves. The combiner head can be used as a robot mode head if you're feeling silly.

:Optimus suffers from a design flaw that many other Voyager Class figures in the ''Combiner Wars'' line experience: the detents, or "click points", on the heavily-ratcheted outward motion of his hips (which also form the hips of his torso mode) are few in number and very far apart. As a result, Prime's legs have great difficulty assuming the natural "A-stance" formation that the angled design of his foot sculpt seems to have been meant to accommodate. Likewise, when forming the torso of Ultra Prime, the interactions of the knee-lock mechanism and the hip detents almost always force Ultra Prime's legs into either an awkwardly knock-kneed arrangement or an equally awkward, and often unstable, bow-legged posture (as seen in the image to the right) that prevents Ultra Prime from standing flat-footed. Unlike Motormaster, this version of Optimus was the only one to not receive the improved hip ratchets implemented in its future releases in some shape or form by Hasbro, though they would be used for the Battle Core redeco later in the line. However, there are third party ratchet replacements for the hips.

:Being a ''Combiner Wars'' Voyager, Prime is naturally capable of transforming into a torso mode to combine with any 4 Deluxe Class ''Combiner Wars''-style toys, though his packaging call-out has him form Ultra Prime by combining him with Deluxe Class [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Generations|Skydive]] and [[Alpha Bravo]] as the arms, and with [[Fireflight (G1)#Generations|Firefly]] and [[Drag Strip (G1)#Generations|Decepticon Drag Strip]] as the legs. He can combine with [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Sunstreaker]], [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Mirage]], [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Generations|Prowl]], and [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Ironhide]] if one wishes to have an IDW-accurate Optimus Maximus.

:Unfortunately, Optimus Prime is also the weakest link of the gestalt combination, due to a number of design failures attributed to his torso mode. The square holes-and-tabs used to secure the arms together when in torso mode are too weak to remain locked in place (though a very small amount of copies can secure the arm well), and are prone to falling out of position should an attached arm be moved. The torso mode's skirt plate is also attached to the stomach rather than the pelvis, rendering the waist swivel nearly worthless due to the skirt obstructing articulation.

:Though Optimus's wave was scheduled for a first quarter 2015 release, it arrived on U.S. store shelves in late 2014.

:Optimus comes packaged with a collector's card featuring art from the initial release of the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game. The mold would be retooled several times, resulting in [[Motormaster (G1)#Combiner Wars|Motormaster]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#CWBC|Battle Core Optimus Prime]], and [[Toxitron (G1)#Generations|Wrecker Toxitron]]. The toy also served as a model for ''[[Transformers: Forged to Fight|Forged to Fight]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Transformers: Forged to Fight|Nemesis Prime]].

**'''3 of 5: [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Two blasters (combine into large rifle)

:"Battle Core Optimus Prime" is a white redeco and slight retool of the previous ''Combiner Wars'' Optimus figure. According to the Hasbro panel at [[BotCon 2015]], his new head is based on Star Convoy (see above). For some reason, his deco appears to be influenced by [[Nova Prime]].

:The figure features newly redesigned hip ratchets to make both robot and combiner mode stable, which were also installed in both TakaraTomy's [[Motormaster (G1)#Unite Warriors 2|Motormaster]], [[Grand Scourge#Toys|Grand Scourge]], and a revision wave of Hasbro's Motormaster. The pegs that Legends Class Rodimus (or Blackjack) attach to have also been slightly modified to provide a tighter fit, making the latter toy much less prone to falling out.

:Battle Core Optimus Prime can combine with any Deluxe Class toys with the ''Combiner Wars''-styled joint—but, of course, he is intended to be combined with [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Sunstreaker]], [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Mirage]], [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Generations|Prowl]], and [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Ironhide]] to form [[Optimus Maximus (G1)#Generations|Optimus Maximus]]. He can also combine with ''Unite Warriors'' [[Streetwise (G1)#Unite Warriors 2|Streetwise]], [[Groove (G1)#Unite Warriors 2|Groove]], [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Unite Warriors|Prowl]], and ''Combiner Wars'' [[Rook (CW)#Generations|Rook]] to form White Convoy Grand Prime, as seen in the [[God Neptune comic 2|''Generations Selects'' Special Comic promoting God Neptune]].

:Battle Core Optimus Prime comes packaged with a collector's card based on his packaging art. the prototype printed on the back of the box & the stock photos, and the CG model in the instructions had him possessing a single tampographed/stickered symbol on his left arm.

:He and the last three waves of ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe and Voyager figures later showed up in the U.S. at TJ Maxx at reduced prices.

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

:Part of the new ''Generations Cyber Battalion'' series, Optimus Prime is a new mold which stands 7 inches tall, and transforms from a truck (which is based on the ''Generations Thrilling 30'' Legends Class Optimus Prime figure) into a robot in just 7 simple steps. The figure's transformation engineering had taken cues from the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#2010Legend|''Reveal the Shield'' Legends Class Optimus Prime]] figure, while it still retains the same ol' articulation.

:As with other earlier Cyber Series figures, Optimus Prime had a rather strange release cycle. At first, he only retailed exclusively in Asia and Latin America, with the closest to a U.S. release being in limited quantities from online retailer BigBadToyStore.com. He did, however, end up being available in the Universal Studios Theme Park, and also later as a Walgreens exclusive.

Surprisingly, he does have a reasonable amount of articulation, including a balljointed head and hinged joints for his arms, shoulders and legs, plus lateral hinges for his feet.

:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', this Optimus Prime is yet another redeco of the ''[[#Classics|Classics]]'' Voyager toy. Rather than the [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] colors like the ''Age of Extinction'' 2-pack figure, the toy's deco is very similar to the ''Classics'' release, with some changes and omissions: his blue plastic is a dark metallic sheen, his knee's yellow detailing was removed, his small Autobot symbol tampograph was placed on his right shoulder, and his larger one is placed on his energy unit. His side door/arm kibble is left unpainted. According to [[Mark Weber]], this was meant to represent his abdominal area being torn in the movie's battle. (Yeah, we have no idea how it works, since the "battle damage" parts end up on his ''arms'' in robot mode.)

:Both his robot and vehicle mode [[stock photography|stock photos]] depict him slightly mistransformed.

:''Platinum Edition'' Optimus Prime was only available as part of a 2-pack with [[Megatron (G1)/Generations toys#Platinum Edition|Megatron]], named "One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall" after Optimus Prime's famous line in the movie. In the United States and Canada, this set was officially released as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive. It was also available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely the Philippines and Singapore; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Australia, it was sold at Myer stores, whereas in the United Kingdom, it was both sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and available via Tesco's website (but never found in stores). Surprisingly, it was (and still is) a common find in Brazilian online stores.

*'''Autobot Apex & Powermaster Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2016)
**''Accessories:'' Two blasters, two shoulder cannons, [[Hi-Q#Generations|Apex]] Titan Master

:A heavy retool of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Generations|Ultra Magnus]], this Optimus Prime is based on the Powermaster Optimus Prime toy from 1988. Despite this, Hi-Q (now renamed 'Autobot Apex', presumably for trademark reasons) doesn't form the engine on Prime's chest; instead, he transforms into a de-faceplated version of the original Powermaster Optimus Prime cab robot head, over which a helmet slides during transformation to complete the Powermaster Prime look. In all three of Optimus Prime's modes are various pegs and seats with which Titan Master figures can interact. Like other Leader Class figures, his base mode can connect to other ''Titan Returns'' figures with base modes.

:Most notably in terms of new tooling, the panels on the undersides of Powermaster Optimus Prime's forearms feature slots under the fists, which allow the guns to tab in and be held much more stably than with Ultra Magnus. And due to the amount of empty space in the cab area in vehicle mode, Powermaster Prime can fully transform without the need to remove his head.

:Powermaster Optimus Prime also comes with a collector's card based on his packaging art.

:In an undocumented feature, because he comes with the same rifles as ''Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus'', his weapons can be combined into a huge, multi-barreled rifle. His instructions show that one of the two Titan Master seat guns can peg onto the top of his chest plate in base mode, but are unclear on exactly ''how''. The tab on the chest plate plugs into the hole where the Titan Master's feet peg in. However, in doing so the Titan Master will no longer fit. Due to the extra panels that were added to the legs, Optimus has trouble standing flat on both feet. Fortunately, this doesn't have any serious effect on the toy's stability due to the size of the feet. His gray plastic comes tinged somewhat, perhaps as a result of a [[Photodegradation|yellowed]] specimen of the original Powermaster figure (such as the one on this very page) being used as a reference. He comes with two different Autobot symbols: The ones on the shoulders are a Movie variant, while the trailer features a ''Generation 1''-styled insignia.

:[[Fortress Maximus (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Fortress Maximus]]'s instructions depict him as part of the [[Cybertron City (TR)|Cybertron City]] combination. Meanwhile, the "Siege on Cybertron" instructions show him as a part of the [[Nemesis Command]] combination, albeit mislabeled as [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Autobot Blaster]].

:This mold was further retooled as ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' [[Ginrai (human)#Legends|Super Ginrai]], which was redecoed into Siege On Cybertron [[Ginrai (robot)#Titans Return|Magnus Prime]].

His Titan Master partner [[Diac#Toys|Diac]] transforms into his head (but any Titan Master figure is compatible). Like all ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Voyager class figures, he has built in mechanisms to "bulk up" his noggin. In his case these are spring-loaded pylons. His robot mode also features fake truck windows.

:This iteration of the mold and its redecos exhibit a minor design flaw: there are two tabs on the plane mode's wings that prevent the truck mode's trailer from fully closing at the rear. Ostensibly, this can be rectified by setting the wings slightly askew so they can properly flatten against each other. However, this leads to some holes on each wing not being lined up with some corresponding pegs on the trailer.

:This mold was redecoed into ''Legends'' [[Scourge (RID)#Voyager|Black Convoy]] and ''Street Fighter X Transformers'' [[Ryu#Toys|Ryu]], and retooled into [[Octane#Titans Return|Octone]]. Beginning with this wave, Hasbro changed the standard packaging design for ''Titans Return'' Voyagers from "Autobot" style to "Decepticon" style regardless of character faction.

:This mold would've been redecoed as "Action Master" Optimus Prime with a redecoed Infinitus Titan Master for the BotCon 2017 "Action on Hydrus Four" set that never came to be.

: Optimus & Shreddicus were initially [[exclusive]] to [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2017, where they sold out. A small portion of the run had been held for future sales: [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] put the set up for sale for about five minutes on [[August 14]] before selling out.

:Another Hasbro release of the [[#MP10|MP-10 mold]], which is ''basically a reissue'' of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10hasbro|2010 ''Transformers'' line's ''Masterpiece'' Optimus Prime]], but with the Japanese release's ID number.

:''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' "Evolution Optimus Prime" transforms from a truck with a trailer into a robot and back. The individual truck transforms into his "Orion Pax" form based on his appearance in the Generation 1 episode "[[War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn]]", and he is able to form the core of Optimus Prime's robot mode. His trailer forms Prime's entire body, sharing a noticeable amount of details with MP-10 mold, most notably an almost identical head sculpt. He is the first non-''Masterpiece'' ''Generations'' G1 Optimus Prime figure to include removable [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix of Leadership]] accessory, which is stored in his chest in the 'Evolved' form. The center of his Matrix of Leadership can be replaced with any [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]]. His [[ion blaster]] can be split into two weapons for Orion Pax to use, while also store on Optimus Prime's back via visible [[5 mm post]]s of Orion Pax's hands, though this is undocumented in the instructions. The Takara version of the mold lacks the production numbers located at his right shins. Depending on the individual copy, Optimus Prime is prone to having a number of quality control issues: ranging from two left/right arms and/or legs/feet on the evolution armor, to lacking stickers on the trailer pieces. On the other hand, the trailer can also be towed by any other figure with a compatible hitch.

:Though designated for a first quarter 2018 release, Optimus's wave reached U.S. store shelves in December 2017.

**''Accessories:'' "W-50 Dual-Mech Energon Strikeshield," "W-M3 RF Ion Blaster" (combines to form "Sentrystrike Ultra-Blaster")

:Part of the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Voyager Class figures, Optimus Prime transforms from robot to [[For safety reasons|short-smokestacked]] Cybertronian armored truck and back. For an inexpensive mass-retail release, Optimus's robot mode is very accurate to his design from the original cartoon (albeit with added details) and also features excellent poseability on par with a ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' toy, resulting in a version of the character that gives collectors lots of bang for their buck. He includes two weapons compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]—the "W-50 Dual-Mech Energon Strikeshield," which is an axe that transforms into a shield, and the "W-M3 RF [[Ion blaster|Ion Blaster]]." Both weapons can combine to form the "Sentrystrike Ultra-Blaster." An argument could be made that being able to flip around Optimus's underarm kibble to form underslung gatling guns is an undocumented gimmick. Optimus Prime also features "battle damage" paint applications on several parts of his body, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:In vehicle mode, opening the figure's windows shows the [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Matrix of Leadership]] molded into the plastic behind the windows. Due to the transformation, the Matrix doesn't end up in the chest in robot mode. Despite being a Voyager-scale figure, the truck mode is considerably small, in scale with a Legends-sized figure. Whether through coincidence or design, it's possible to fit a ''Power of the Primes'' Matrix core (and by extension, a [[Prime Master]] or [[Titan Master]]) in his chest.

:An additional, undocumented but confirmed third "hover truck" mode exists, which is achieved by folding all of his wheels under his vehicle mode. While the back wheels don't lock in anywhere, the two front wheels actually have small tabs that plug into slots on the back of the wheel sections that aren't used for either of his other modes.<ref>[http://www.toyboxsoapbox.com/2018/11/13/transformers-siege-voyager-optimus-prime-review/ "At some convention somewhere one Hasbro rep let slip that Siege Optimus Prime also had a hidden hover truck mode."] on Toybox Soapbox</ref>

:There is a message written in [[Cybertronian language|Cybertronian letters]] on Optimus Prime's box art, which reads "LIGHT THE DARKEST HOUR."

:While Optimus greatly resembles the inner robot of ''Siege'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Ultra Magnus]], he is actually a completely different mold and therefore not compatible with the [[Magnus Armor]]. This mold was later used to make [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Nemesis Prime]]. A large number of parts of this figure were reused for the ''Earthrise'' Optimus Prime figure released in 2020. Due to this, the trailer packaged with the ''Earthrise'' figure is fully compatible with the ''Siege'' figure's truck mode.

:Care should be taken not to pull the waist transformation hinge too far back or else the partially open clip housing the pin may break.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP7V5NVghvE]</ref> Depending on the individual quality control, the roof panel (notably the rear right side) may not shut properly in vehicle mode.

:Part of the second wave ''Siege'' Leader Class figures, "Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime" is an extensive retool of the same line's [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Ultra Magnus]], taking heavy design cues from [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Cybertron|''Cybertron'' Optimus Prime]] (the Japanese series name being "''Galaxy Force''," which is referenced in the name). He transforms into a heavily armed fire truck like the ''Cybertron'' figure, but with a Cybertronian aesthetic. The two "W-30 Magnetic Inducer Launchers" are unpainted blasters from ''Siege'' Ultra Magnus, and as such, mirror the detailing placed just behind ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]]'s cab. Their hexagonal tips resembling ''Cybertron'' Optimus Prime's Super Mode leg cannons were likely a foresight for this retooling, but are molded in black rather than grey likely due to [[gang-molding]]. Optimus Prime also features "battle damage" paint applications on several parts of his body, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:The core figure's robot mode is inspired by Prime's Generation 1 look, but with [[Kibble|vehicle mode details]] and coloration (including yellow eyes) based on the cab of his ''Cybertron'' counterpart. As with the original ''Cybertron'' figure, the barrel of the truck's left cannon can be detached and wielded by Prime as a rifle called the "JF-15 Gravity Force Laser." The sides of the bumper in truck mode can detach and form arm cannons based on his ''Cybertron'' counterpart's forearms. All five weapons are compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Because of the nature of the mold, additional shoulderpads [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|resembling halves of his truck cab]] were included to complete the Super Mode's resemblance to the template. The vehicle mode's cannons can be underslung and handheld similarly to the ''Cybertron'' figure thanks to the sliding pegs, but lack the original's gimmicks. Unlike Ultra Magnus, Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime also features flip-out support struts on the leg armor to compensate the back's weight. While they're hardly needed since the armor's bulk is heavy enough to support the weight, the pieces also prevent the leg armors from standing flat when left folded in.

:Unlike the above Voyager Class figure, this Prime is fully compatible with the [[Magnus Armor]], as is Ultra Magnus with Optimus's Super Mode gear. Also, whether intentional or not, the figure scales almost perfectly with other figures from the original Cybertron line.

:The box art of his vehicle modes is [[Stock photography#Problems with stock photos|mistransformed]], likely as a result of using CGI renders; the two shoulder pieces are shown being left on, which is genuinely impossible and in fact appear to be clipped through each other. They are instead stored inside the leg armor, which forms the back end of the trailer. Strangely, the clear blue plastic used for the cab has light bars molded in, but they are painted over in red. Presumably this is to make the inner robot appear more like G1 Optimus, but results in a less accurate vehicle mode compared to the ''Cybertron'' design. Additionally, there are existing stock photos of the figure without the wingpack and the smaller robot head flipped out.

:Specially branded for the 35th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand, ''Siege'' "Classic Animation Optimus Prime" is a redeco of the Voyager Class figure above, featuring a cel-shaded paint pattern that evokes his appearance in the cartoon (though the physical result is more like that of [[Transformers: Devastation|''Devastation'']]). In addition, the grey plastics and paint operations are now replaced with white, and the tire rims' paint is omitted.

:''[[Transformers Collaborative|Collaborative]]'' Ghostbusters x Transformers ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' MP-10G Optimus Prime Ecto-35 Edition (whew!) is a [[Ghostbusters]]-themed redeco of the MP-10 Convoy/Optimus Prime mold.

:Optimus Prime is now decoed in white, dark gray and red, with a Ghostbusters "no ghosts" logo on his right shoulder in addition to the Autobot logo on his left. The trailer is decoed similarly, with Ecto-1 style details adorning the sides, as well as green ghost splatter. Optimus's vehicle mode bumper includes an "ECTO-35" plate, which can be seen through his chest in robot mode, referencing the 35th Anniversary of both the ''Transformers'' and ''Ghostbusters'' franchises.

:He includes all his accessories, aside from [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] and his axe, gaining a number of additional ones consistent with the theme. The trailer opens out into the "Ecto-Base," or can be stood upright as the "Ecto Maintenance Dock." A snap-on cover can be applied to Roller to turn him into a ghost trap, a painted opaque version of the [[Slimer]] figure included with Ectotron, and a "roof-rack accessory" using the same mold as [[Ectotron]]'s that pegs into the roof of the trailer. This final item converts into a proton pack for robot mode, pegging into the hole in his back, and a hose connects his ion blaster to the proton pack to serve as a particle thrower. In addition, the figure's packaging is shaped like a proton pack, complete with clips to enable the buyer to strap it to their back.

:Ectotron can ''sort of'' fit into Prime's trailer, but this requires the former's equipment rack to be removed from the roof, and clearance within the trailer prevents the trailer's rear tailgate from closing.

**''Hasbro ID number:'' '''TT-GS01'''
**''Accessories'': trailer/evolution armor, ion-blaster (formed by two blasters), Silver Matrix

:''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' Star Convoy is a retool of the [[#Power of the Primes|''Power of the Primes'' Leader Class mold]], featuring new lower legs, head, upper shoulders, and waist parts for both the armor and inner robot, and a new torso for the latter. The Optimus Prime inner robot is remolded to resemble his Generation 1 toy, complete with toy-accurate yellow eyes. Most of the armor's grey parts (especially the evolution armor's arms) are now remolded in red plastic to be more accurate to Star Convoy's character model, though there are a few sacrifices leaving some of the red patches on the trailer.

:The Matrix of Leadership is now replaced with the "Silver Matrix" that is a singular piece of plastic dipped in chrome. As such, it does not accommodate Prime Masters/Matrices/Enigmas. The Matrix can be held by 5 mm fist holes and can combine with the guns to form a "Big Bang Cannon". Unlike the original versions of the mold, Star Convoy's stickers, intended to be applied to his trailer, come on a sheet instead of being factory-applied.

:The star-shaped piece that clips into Star Convoy's chest is new to this version of the mold. Because it pegs into a small hole between the tops of the doors to Star Convoy's chest compartment, it introduces an additional step to access the matrix chamber. The red connector which attaches the star to the figure is misassembled, and flipped from its proper orientation. Due to this, the star is prone to not attaching securely to the chest and can easily pop out without much effort. A fix<ref>[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/generations-selects-star-convoy-super-megatron-snaptrap-figures.1172403/page-113#post-17312785]</ref> utilized by some to address the issue involves popping out the star and connector, then flipping the connector around, before reattaching both parts to the figure. Care should be taken when handling the star and transforming Star Convoy to ensure it does not bump against other parts of the figure or experience undue stress, as it is molded from clear plastic coated in gold chrome. The stem of the star is particularly fragile and has been known to break without much force being applied to it.

:Reminescent of the fact that the original [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Return of Convoy|''Return of Convoy'' Star Convoy]] figure could transform into a battle station, a "Z Base Mode" was created for the character for the ''Selects'' [[Super Megatron comic 1|Special Comic promoting Super Megatron]], and the toy (and any of the ''Power of the Primes'' Evolution Optimus Prime molds) is capable of being configured into this form.

:This toy was released exclusively through [[TakaraTomy Mall]] and, thanks to brand unification, [[Hasbro Pulse]] and other online retailers in the United States and Canada. It is the first ''Selects'' figure to be developed by TakaraTomy.

**''Accessories:'' [[Ion blaster#Generations|Ion Blaster]], shield/ramp, trailer/[[Combat Deck (G1)#Generations|Combat Deck]], artillery robot, [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Matrix of Leadership]]

:Released as part of the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Leader Class toys, Optimus Prime is a cartoon-accurate, Voyager-sized mold with the front of the head and legs, knee flaps, feet, truck-side panels, and various inner parts reused from his ''Siege'' toy. This also means that, like the ''Siege'' toy, the truck mode is unusually small for a Voyager figure.

:For the first time for a non-''Masterpiece'' ''Generations'' toy, Optimus Prime comes with a trailer (which is also compatible with the ''Siege'' toy) that converts into a combat deck/repair bay with an artillery robot, which can be detached and used as a jetpack via a 5mm peg on the bottom. Awesome. He is also the first Voyager-sized figure with an opening chest compartment containing a removable [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Matrix of Leadership]] accessory. In an undocumented feature, the Matrix is able to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the Battle Masters assortment or attach to similarly sized posts such as the ones inside his trailer. His transformation scheme reuses some engineering and concepts from the ''Siege'' Voyager Class figures and ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS38|38 Optimus Prime]], with a new torso transformation. Interestingly, his rear wheels are borrowed from ''Studio Series'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS32|32]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS44|44 Optimus Prime]]. Part of the trailer's ramp detaches to form a shield and can connect to other ramps in the [[A.I.R. Lock System]]. Like ''Siege'' Jetfire, Optimus Prime features a hinge joint in each of his knuckles but without the flip-out post hole mechanism, instead 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'' figure can attach onto the forearm (if the hands are tucked away) with the tabs on the axe's hinged handle. Also likely coincidental, the trailer's hitch post is at exactly the right height to let it rest inside the 5mm hole on [[Roller (G1)#Generations|''Thrilling 30'' Roller]] and can even be pulled along on flat surfaces with the tiny truck.

[[File:TF-WFC-ER-Prime-Comparison.jpg|300px|thumb|[[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Universe .282008.29|Dodged another shot!]] (''Stock image comparison'')]]
:Confusingly, the figure had many color differences in different official promotional images. The original 3D renders depicted his colors completely show-accurate to the G1 cartoon (minus the blue codpiece, and with quite rare toy-accurate yellow eyes), the lack of striping on the forearms/side doors, and fully blue artillery robot for the trailer, while the pre-release prototype seen in New York Comic Con 2019 and the secondary stock photos had his hands and elbows molded in grey, with artillery robot being cast in grey and silver plastic similar to the rest of the trailer. According to [[John Warden]], this was due to the limitations of the mold. Even later, Takara's stock photos showed the figure with blue elbows and a blue and silver artillery robot. The retail release of the figure ultimately, for the most part, went with colors showcased in Hasbro's physical toy stock photos, but with previously yellow eyes now more cartoon-accurate blue, and with his hands, codpiece, and the back piece of his head painted in metallic blue.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIu3DkO1Sj0</ref> Early renders also displayed the figure's inner-shins as being molded in the same blue color as the rest of the legs, although the final figure presents them cast in gray and unpainted. The sample on the TakaraTomy stock photos also depict his trailer hitch as a single piece.

:Unfortunately, the change from toy accurate yellow eyes to cartoon-accurate blue clashes with the unpainted blue face, making it barely visible. The figure's head can be swapped with the head of the ''Siege'' figure (though the blue plastic is a slightly lighter shade) but it can cause some parts clash while transforming, as the back of the ''Earthrise'' head is a new, flatter part. This is also why the part is a painted red piece, so exercise some caution while tucking away/flipping out the head while transforming.

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

:The non-converting long-barreled Ion Blaster, the Energon Axe, [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Sideswipe]]'s jetpack, and [[Roller (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Roller]] were sold separately as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Deluxe Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]], though due to a section of Optimus' back being marginally wider than the space available, some force may be required to fully attach the jetpack. The Energon Axe is also specifically molded to fit onto Optimus' right hand, with the 5mm peg sliding into the bottom side of his hand. Although it can fit on his left hand if slid through the top, this puts noticeable stress on the axe's peg due to the thumb sliding up against the housing.

:The Combat Deck, including its artillery robot and shield/ramp, was redecoed for the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Nemesis Prime's]] Spoiler Pack. The Optimus Prime mold was also used to make ''War for Cybertron Trilogy Selects'' [[Optimus Prime (SG)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Shattered Glass Optimus Prime]].

:Optimus Prime first saw release in Bangkok before its actual release date in March.

:"Alternate Universe Optimus Prime" is a grayscaled redeco of the figure above with a new head that evokes the battle damage and his death in ''The Transformers: The Movie''. The Matrix of Leadership is the same as the mass retail Leader, though the Ion Blaster is painted completely silver and his rear calves are painted. Another change is the number of lugnuts on the wheels of the trailer. The normal retail version has 10 lug nuts per wheel, whilst this release has none. He is packaged in a ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Selects]]''-styled box that depicts Ultra Magnus, Hot Rod, and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] grieving during his death scene reflected on a window of his damaged truck mode.
:There are reported issues where the left chest piece is unable to tab in fully due to a deformed pin, leaving a small uneven gap visible in robot mode.

:This is the only ''Earthrise'' toy to lack an ID number and map piece and isn't part of the Galactic Odyssey Collection. Coincidentally, Hasbro ID number WFC-E28 is never used in the toyline within its range of E1 to E41, lending to the possibility that WFC-E28 was intended to be his.

:Alternate Universe Optimus Prime was supposed to release as an exclusive for Amazon Prime Day 2020, though the day was pushed back several months, making the toy release much earlier. The figure first saw release in some Malaysian hobby shops ''before'' it was fully revealed on Hasbro's June 26 [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fan First Friday]] stream. The figure was later released in Japan as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive as part of the 7th wave of TakaraTomy ''Selects'' toys.

:Promoting the ''Earthrise'' chapter of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon]], this version of Optimus Prime is a trailer-less redeco of the ''Earthrise'' Leader Class mold in darker colors more reminiscent of his [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|G1 figure]]. He comes with Battle Masters Enerax and Sheeldron, translucent yellow redecoes of ''Siege'' [[Pteraxadon#Toys|Pteraxadon]] and ''Earthrise'' [[Soundbarrier#Toys|Soundbarrier]] respectively, without the effects parts. In terms of deco, Optimus's blue plastic/paint operations and the unpaintable gray joints are replaced with the same darker shade of blue (which also coincidentally resembles the erroneous deco used for most of TakaraTomy's stock photos of the mold), the interiors of his opening chest windows are unpainted, the molded detail in the center of his pelvis is painted yellow, the translucent plastic is the ''slightest'' smoky green, and the eyes are a non-metallic light blue.

:The stock renders for both the robot and vehicle modes are inconsistent with the later stock photos: The forearms are still depicted as stripeless in robot mode, while the rear hip piece and the thighs are differently colored in the truck mode render.

:As with other ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' figures, Optimus Prime was exclusive to Walmart in Canada and the United States.

{{note|This figure of [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Nemesis Prime]] also represents a "much darker future" of Optimus Prime in the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]] cartoon.}}

:Promoting the ''Earthrise'' chapter of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon]], this ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' Leader Unboxing set contains a redeco of ''Siege'' Voyager Class [[#War for Cybertron: Siege|Optimus Prime]] as Nemesis Prime. The figure comes with ''Siege'' Optimus's "W-M3 RF Ion Blaster" (but not his "W-50 Dual-Mech Energon Strikeshield") plus a sizeable number of extras that beef up the price. These include: a redecoed trailer from ''Earthrise'' [[#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Optimus Prime]]; the Dark Saber, [[Giza (POTP)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Giza]], and large forearm blaster accessories, all from the [[#Power_of_the_Primes|''Power of the Primes'' Evolution Leader Class toy]]; [[Fangtron#Toys|Fangtron]], a [[redeco]] of ''Earthrise'' Battle Master [[Slitherfang#Toys|Slitherfang]], along with their blast effect part; and a compound through which a buyer can dig to reveal energon cubes, rereleased from ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Ultra Magnus's]] Spoiler Pack. Fangtron and the shield/Combat Deck ramp are both compatible with the [[A.I.R. Lock System]], as the former can turn into a ramp or a shield for Nemesis Prime. This toy also features a different deco compared to the above TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. Namely, he is in fact molded in very dark gray plastic as opposed to the deep black of the Takara version, and the vehicle stripes, bumper guns, and wheel rims are silver instead of teal.

:The Hasbro stock photography for the truck mode is also ''laughably'' mistransformed, with the robot mode crotch being plainly visible, an error that actually requires a considerable amount of effort to replicate with the actual toy. In addition, neither the truck windows nor panels that cover the robot mode hands are compressed fully.

:Much like previous Spoiler Pack, this set is in a windowless box designed to look like an ammo crate and features translatable [[Cybertronian language|Ancient Autobot]]. The text on the package reads "FANGTRON" and "GIZA", while the 'spoiler' text inside features a Decepticon-themed quote: "YOU MUST STAY TRUE / TO WHOM THE MATRIX HAS / CHOSEN, FOR IF YOU / DON’T, A MUCH / DARKER FUTURE AWAITS" and an Autobot-themed one: "THE DEAD UNIVERSE IS / UNLIKE ANYTHING YOU’VE / EXPERIENCED, PRIME", which are both quotes from [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] in [[Earthrise episode 5]]. The lateral side of the package also features artwork of Nemesis Prime, edited from art of ''Earthrise'' Optimus Prime. Compared to the previous Spoiler Pack, the packaging itself has no plastic insert.

:This set is a shared exclusive between online retailers and [[Walmart]] in Canada and the USA. In New Zealand, the set was sold exclusively at Toy World and Mighty Ape. Like the previous Spoiler Pack, the TakaraTomy release is packaged in a standard windowed box.

**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[May 20]], 2021
**''Accessories'': Ion Blaster

:Part of the first wave of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Core Class toys, Optimus Prime is a smaller, roughly Legends-sized mold that according to his product copy and stock images is meant to be posed with larger toys of the same character, but we would be stupid not to note that he is also a good size to interact with Titan Class figures. His transformation shares engineering with the [[#Thrilling 30|''Thrilling 30'' Legends figure]], but with sculpted detailing directly based on the ''Earthrise'' mold, down to detailing like the ''vestigial knee flaps'' from the ''Siege'' mold. The included Ion Blaster features a 3 mm handle under a 5 mm post, dedicated to the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. He is also fairly articulated for a figure this small, having head rotation and tilting, torso rotation (which actually looks a bit unnatural), ab crunch, butterfly joints at the shoulders, and ball joints in shoulders, elbows, hips and knees.
:Optimus Prime also had a very minor problem standing straight even with the legs standing flat.

:Unlike the actual product, the truck door section of the wrist/hand part is unpainted in the CG stock render. Curiously, his instructions depict an Energon axe that was notably left out of the final release, and was not shown in stock photos. It is currently unknown if this axe will be included with a later release of the mold.

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

:In a similar deco to the ''[[3A|ThreeZero]]'' figure, Optimus Prime is redecoed to be completely accurate to his on-screen appearance in the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron'' Trilogy cartoon]]; for example, the translucent blue parts are now green, an extra white stripe is added in the front of the sideways truck kibble, and the battle damage is changed.

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy (toyline)|Legacy]]'' Leader Class toys, "Laser Optimus Prime" is an updated version of his [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#LaserOptimusPrime|''Generation 2'' design]] which transforms into a mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX, with decos imitating both his original release as well as [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#RTSDeluxe|his 2010 Deluxe Class remake]]. He includes an Energon sword, an Energon axe, and a trailer which can transform into a battle station (tanker deco of Optimus burning down a forest not included!). His signature shoulder pylons can open outwards to reveal missile pods, something the previous two figures couldn't accomplish.

:Most of Laser Optimus Prime's lower body, including his hips, thighs, and feet, reuse elements from the ''Earthrise'' toy above whereas other details like his shins and the entirety of his upper body are brand-new. Like the ''Earthrise'' toy, the shins have the vestige of the ''Siege'' figure's trailer hitch on the outside.

:The [[Hasbro Pulse]] listing for the figure has him at "G2 Universe Laser Optimus Prime" while the packaging itself merely labels him as "Laser Optimus Prime".

Thermal weaponry

2022-01-16T10:34:03Z

CementB mixerB:

To pack that extra punch, some Transformers wield melee weapons that not only cut, smash or crush, but will singe whatever they choose to turn their weapons upon. Examples of such weaponry include '''thermal swords''', '''thermal maces''', and '''thermal clubs'''. Heated weaponry is popular among Cybertronians in many universes, and some of their weapons boast maximum heat emissions that are astoundingly high.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1===
*[[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]] appreciates the simpler things in life. Music videos. Reality TV. Burying his '''thermo-sword''' in an [[Autobot]] and watching as its 8000-degree-Centigrade blade melts their armor like ice cream in summer.
*[[Swoop (G1)|Swoop's]] '''thermal sword''' is more or less identical to Rampage's thermo-sword, but his cooks only up to 4000 degrees Centigrade. Wussie.
*[[Weirdwolf (G1)|Weirdwolf]] also wields a '''thermo sword''', which can slice through a three-inch thick sheet of steel, allowing him to mangle Autobots almost as much as he mangles his sentences.
*[[Waverider]] packs a '''thermal broadaxe''', which he should probably keep handy the next time he tries to give [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] a pep talk.

====Another Time & Place====
[[File:Another Time Place Fangry.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6]]
[[Springer (G1)|Springer]] used a '''thermal knife''' to sever [[Fangry (G1)|Fangry]]'s hands on [[Hydrus Four]]. {{storylink|Another Time & Place}}
{{-}}

===''Animated''===
*All three [[Dinobot (Animated)|Dinobots]] wield thermal weaponry:
**[[Grimlock (Animated)|Grimlock]] wields a massive, jagged '''thermal sword''' with a blade that can emit flames on command.
**[[Swoop (Animated)|Swoop]] has a '''thermal mace''' to swing around. Just like Grimlock's weapon, Swoop can will the mace's head to burst into flames.
**[[Snarl (Animated)|Snarl]] lugs around a '''thermal club''' to bop his enemies with. Following the trend set by the other two Dinobots, a large portion of his club catches on fire whenever Snarl wants, stopping short of his hand so that he himself doesn't get hurt.

When the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]] was trapped in an ice cavern, [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] would recall Rampage's choice of weapon, and she and [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] reconfigured their [[Decepticon Hunter]]s to function as thermo-swords, allowing them to escape. {{storylink|Defrosted}}

:The flail weapon seems to have an abandoned gimmick where pushing in the bottom of the ball would activate pop-out flames. Apparently, it was abandoned after the realization that if a child swallowed the weapon, the flames popping out would make the kid's esophagus worse for wear. However, this gimmick can somewhat be reactivated with a small modification [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/tutorials-how-tos/208812-animated-swoops-flaming-mace.html], allowing the flames to be ''partially'' revealed. A slightly more complex modification can be done to allow the flames to raise to '''full height''' when they pop out [http://mattbooker.info/2009/01/05/sos-dinobot-part-1/], resulting in the inner curve of the flames matching the curve of the ball—a look which indicates this is much closer to the original intention.

[[File:Siege-OptimusPrime-CardArt.jpeg|thumb|upright=1.66|Awwwwww yeah......(Part 2)]]
With the evergrowing [[Generation 1 continuity family]], '''[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]''' continues to receive more toys—the largest number of toys in fact—for any single ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' character! The more Generation 1 Optimus Prime toys that are made, the harder it is for us here at TFWiki.net to keep documenting them all in a single article without it resulting in [[you]]r internet browser freezing!

For the sake of finding an easy and definitive split from the main toy article, we have opted to make this page strictly for the various ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]''-branded toylines, as this appears to be the brand [[Hasbro]] will likely continue adding Generation 1 characters to for the foreseeable future.

You know you can always count on Optimus Prime being there when the next year's ''Generations'' line comes around!

:Part of the third wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Legends Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Optimus Prime is a new mold that is roughly the same size as a ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Commander Class toy. Both his truck and [[robot mode]] are based on his [[Don Figueroa]]-designed body from [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s [[The Transformers (IDW)|2009-2011 comic series]], and features [[5 mm post|5 mm-compatible]] hands and roof. He comes with an [[Ion blaster#Legends|Ion Blaster]] which has both 5mm and 3mm posts.

: He comes with "[[Roller (G1)#Generations|Autobot Roller]]", who can transform into a six-wheel armored SUV, a robot with [[C joint|3 mm-compatible]] hands, and a weapon with a 5 mm handle. He has a 5 mm hole in vehicle mode and a 3 mm hole in weapon mode for mounting the Ion Blaster.

: Not depicted in the instructions or stock photos, Roller can attach to Prime in vehicle mode via two tabs on the vehicle front which slot into two corresponding slots on Prime's feet. Another undocumented feature is that the butt of the Ion Blaster can be inserted between the barrels of Roller's weapon mode to form a longer weapon. Also not shown in the instructions but depicted on the stock photo on the card-back is that Prime's shoulderpads can be rotated up; the intended positioning for this is notched, although you can position them at other angles.

: The stock photo of Optimus' vehicle mode is slightly mistransformed: his head slightly sticks out from the truck roof, which prevents the front windows to clamp together. This mold was also used to make ''Thrilling 30'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Generations|Nemesis Prime]], and retooled into ''Combiner Wars'' [[Huffer (G1)#Generations|Huffer]] and [[Pipes (G1)#Generations|Autobot Pipes]].

*'''Orion Pax''' (Deluxe Class, 2013)
**''Series / Number'': '''02 / #002'''
**''Accessories'': Ion Blaster, Energon Axe

:Part of the fifth wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, ''Thrilling 30'' Orion Pax is a new mold with a robot mode inspired by [[Guido Guidi]]'s [[:File:SpotlightBlurr-Optimus.jpg|design for the character, originally seen]] in ''[[Spotlight: Blurr]]''. Some liberties have been taken with the original concept to facilitate his truck mode, which is a new design not based on the Guidi art. He comes with his [[Ion blaster#Deluxe|Ion Blaster]] and an [[Energon-axe#Deluxe|Energon Axe]] with a transparent red-orange blade, both of which can peg onto 5 mm ports on his hands and vehicle rear sides. Although not depicted on the instructions, the Ion Blaster can also peg into the hole in the larger blade of the Energon Axe. Even though the light-piping eyes are neutered by light blue paint, the side grooves are still able to light up as the paint only focuses on the central optic.

:The American release is packed in with a copy of IDW's ''[[Omega's Conundrum|Spotlight: Orion Pax]]'', which sports a 'Hasbro Exclusive Cover' cropped from the [[Clayton Crain]] [[:File:Spotlight OrionPax cvrRI.jpg|retailer incentive cover]] for the issue. In Europe and Canada, the figure was released without the Spotlight.

:Depending on how many painted layers on the Energon axe's hilt, inserting it onto any hand may cause it to scratch off.

:Most of the first-wave Orion Pax toys released in monolingual English [[packaging]] sport a bizarre [[quality control#Packaging images and labelling|error]]: The [[package art|character art]] on the side of the cardboard insert inside the blister bubble has the character art of Orion's [[wave]]-mate [[Megatron (G1)/Generations toys#T30Deluxe|Megatron]] superimposed over Orion's own art. This error doesn't appear on the [[Multilingual packaging|European packaging]].

:The toy was later [[Redeco|recolored]] and [[retool]]ed to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Lio Convoy#timelinestoy|Lio Convoy]], [[Optimus Prime (SG)#NovaPrime|Nova Prime]], and [[Galva Convoy#Toys|Galva Convoy]]. The mold was designed with a pre-tooled [[Kup (G1)/toys#Generations|Kup]] alternate head that remains unused.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/PetesRoboCon/posts/569672986709925</ref>

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2015)
**'''3 OF 5: [[Ultra Prime]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Two blasters (combine into large rifle)

: Part of the first wave of ''Generations: [[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Voyager Class toys, this is a bigger, bulkier incarnation of Optimus Prime with a striking resemblance to Ginrai. He comes with two blasters which he holds via 5 mm post. One of the guns is based on his trademark Ion Blaster, and both weapons store on the back of his vehicle mode as a makeshift engine block. His torso mode has several details that appear to be influenced by [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Energon|''Energon'' Optimus Prime]]'s super mode, including the head, chest, and thighs. In particular, the chest details are modeled after the [[Spark of Combination]]. He also features two pair of fake windows on his robot and gestalt chest halves. The combiner head can be used as a robot mode head if you're feeling silly.

:Optimus suffers from a design flaw that many other Voyager Class figures in the ''Combiner Wars'' line experience: the detents, or "click points", on the heavily-ratcheted outward motion of his hips (which also form the hips of his torso mode) are few in number and very far apart. As a result, Prime's legs have great difficulty assuming the natural "A-stance" formation that the angled design of his foot sculpt seems to have been meant to accommodate. Likewise, when forming the torso of Ultra Prime, the interactions of the knee-lock mechanism and the hip detents almost always force Ultra Prime's legs into either an awkwardly knock-kneed arrangement or an equally awkward, and often unstable, bow-legged posture (as seen in the image to the right) that prevents Ultra Prime from standing flat-footed. Unlike Motormaster, this version of Optimus was the only one to not receive the improved hip ratchets implemented in its future releases in some shape or form by Hasbro, though they would be used for the Battle Core redeco later in the line. However, there are third party ratchet replacements for the hips.

:Being a ''Combiner Wars'' Voyager, Prime is naturally capable of transforming into a torso mode to combine with any 4 Deluxe Class ''Combiner Wars''-style toys, though his packaging call-out has him form Ultra Prime by combining him with Deluxe Class [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Generations|Skydive]] and [[Alpha Bravo]] as the arms, and with [[Fireflight (G1)#Generations|Firefly]] and [[Drag Strip (G1)#Generations|Decepticon Drag Strip]] as the legs. He can combine with [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Sunstreaker]], [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Mirage]], [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Generations|Prowl]], and [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Ironhide]] if one wishes to have an IDW-accurate Optimus Maximus.

:Unfortunately, Optimus Prime is also the weakest link of the gestalt combination, due to a number of design failures attributed to his torso mode. The square holes-and-tabs used to secure the arms together when in torso mode are too weak to remain locked in place (though a very small amount of copies can secure the arm well), and are prone to falling out of position should an attached arm be moved. The torso mode's skirt plate is also attached to the stomach rather than the pelvis, rendering the waist swivel nearly worthless due to the skirt obstructing articulation.

:Though Optimus's wave was scheduled for a first quarter 2015 release, it unsurprisingly arrived on U.S. store shelves in late 2014.

:Optimus comes packaged with a collector's card featuring art from the initial release of the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game. The mold would be retooled several times, resulting in [[Motormaster (G1)#Combiner Wars|Motormaster]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#CWBC|Battle Core Optimus Prime]], and [[Toxitron (G1)#Generations|Wrecker Toxitron]]. The toy also served as a model for ''[[Transformers: Forged to Fight|Forged to Fight]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Transformers: Forged to Fight|Nemesis Prime]].

**'''3 of 5: [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Two blasters (combine into large rifle)

:"Battle Core Optimus Prime" is a white redeco and slight retool of the previous ''Combiner Wars'' Optimus figure. According to the Hasbro panel at [[BotCon 2015]], his new head is based on Star Convoy (see above). For some reason, his deco appears to be influenced by [[Nova Prime]].

:The figure features newly redesigned hip ratchets to make both robot and combiner mode stable, which were also installed in both TakaraTomy's [[Motormaster (G1)#Unite Warriors 2|Motormaster]], [[Grand Scourge#Toys|Grand Scourge]], and a revision wave of Hasbro's Motormaster. The pegs that Legends Class Rodimus (or Blackjack) attach to have also been slightly modified to provide a tighter fit, making the latter toy much less prone to falling out.

:Battle Core Optimus Prime can combine with any Deluxe Class toys with the ''Combiner Wars''-styled joint—but, of course, he is intended to be combined with [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Sunstreaker]], [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Mirage]], [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Generations|Prowl]], and [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Ironhide]] to form [[Optimus Maximus (G1)#Generations|Optimus Maximus]]. He can also combine with ''Unite Warriors'' [[Streetwise (G1)#Unite Warriors 2|Streetwise]], [[Groove (G1)#Unite Warriors 2|Groove]], [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Unite Warriors|Prowl]], and ''Combiner Wars'' [[Rook (CW)#Generations|Rook]] to form White Convoy Grand Prime, as seen in the [[God Neptune comic 2|''Generations Selects'' Special Comic promoting God Neptune]].

:Battle Core Optimus Prime comes packaged with a collector's card based on his packaging art. the prototype printed on the back of the box & the stock photos, and the CG model in the instructions had him possessing a single tampographed/stickered symbol on his left arm.

:He and the last three waves of ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe and Voyager figures later showed up in the U.S. at TJ Maxx at reduced prices.

:As a part of the third and fourth wave promotion in Hasbro's Asian markets, a free sticker sheet for the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobot]]s and [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]] was given out when purchasing any four Deluxe Class toys from those waves.

:Part of the new ''Generations Cyber Battalion'' series, Optimus Prime is a new mold which stands 7 inches tall, and transforms from a truck (which is based on the ''Generations Thrilling 30'' Legends Class Optimus Prime figure) into a robot in just 7 simple steps. The figure's transformation engineering had taken cues from the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#2010Legend|''Reveal the Shield'' Legends Class Optimus Prime]] figure, while it still retains the same ol' articulation.

:As with other earlier Cyber Series figures, Optimus Prime had a rather strange release cycle. At first, he only retailed exclusively in Asia and Latin America, with the closest to a U.S. release being in limited quantities from online retailer BigBadToyStore.com. He did, however, end up being available in the Universal Studios Theme Park, and also later as a Walgreens exclusive.

Surprisingly, he does have a reasonable amount of articulation, including a balljointed head and hinged joints for his arms, shoulders and legs, plus lateral hinges for his feet.

:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', this Optimus Prime is yet another redeco of the ''[[#Classics|Classics]]'' Voyager toy. Rather than the [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] colors like the ''Age of Extinction'' 2-pack figure, the toy's deco is very similar to the ''Classics'' release, with some changes and omissions: his blue plastic is a dark metallic sheen, his knee's yellow detailing was removed, his small Autobot symbol tampograph was placed on his right shoulder, and his larger one is placed on his energy unit. His side door/arm kibble is left unpainted. According to [[Mark Weber]], this was meant to represent his abdominal area being torn in the movie's battle. (Yeah, we have no idea how it works, since the "battle damage" parts end up on his ''arms'' in robot mode.)

:Both his robot and vehicle mode [[stock photography|stock photos]] depict him slightly mistransformed.

:''Platinum Edition'' Optimus Prime was only available as part of a 2-pack with [[Megatron (G1)/Generations toys#Platinum Edition|Megatron]], named "One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall" after Optimus Prime's famous line in the movie. In the United States and Canada, this set was officially released as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive. It was also available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely the Philippines and Singapore; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Australia, it was sold at Myer stores, whereas in the United Kingdom, it was both sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and available via Tesco's website (but never found in stores).

*'''Autobot Apex & Powermaster Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2016)
**''Accessories:'' Two blasters, two shoulder cannons, [[Hi-Q#Generations|Apex]] Titan Master

:A heavy retool of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Generations|Ultra Magnus]], this Optimus Prime is based on the Powermaster Optimus Prime toy from 1988. Despite this, Hi-Q (now renamed 'Autobot Apex', presumably for trademark reasons) doesn't form the engine on Prime's chest; instead, he transforms into a de-faceplated version of the original Powermaster Optimus Prime cab robot head, over which a helmet slides during transformation to complete the Powermaster Prime look. In all three of Optimus Prime's modes are various pegs and seats with which Titan Master figures can interact. Like other Leader Class figures, his base mode can connect to other ''Titan Returns'' figures with base modes.

:Most notably in terms of new tooling, the panels on the undersides of Powermaster Optimus Prime's forearms feature slots under the fists, which allow the guns to tab in and be held much more stably than with Ultra Magnus. And due to the amount of empty space in the cab area in vehicle mode, Powermaster Prime can fully transform without the need to remove his head.

:Powermaster Optimus Prime also comes with a collector's card based on his packaging art.

:In an undocumented feature, because he comes with the same rifles as ''Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus'', his weapons can be combined into a huge, multi-barreled rifle. His instructions show that one of the two Titan Master seat guns can peg onto the top of his chest plate in base mode, but are unclear on exactly ''how''. The tab on the chest plate plugs into the hole where the Titan Master's feet peg in. However, in doing so the Titan Master will no longer fit. Due to the extra panels that were added to the legs, Optimus has trouble standing flat on both feet. Fortunately, this doesn't have any serious effect on the toy's stability due to the size of the feet. His gray plastic comes tinged somewhat, perhaps as a result of a [[Photodegradation|yellowed]] specimen of the original Powermaster figure (such as the one on this very page) being used as a reference. He comes with two different Autobot symbols: The ones on the shoulders are a Movie variant, while the trailer features a ''Generation 1''-styled insignia.

:[[Fortress Maximus (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Fortress Maximus]]'s instructions depict him as part of the [[Cybertron City (TR)|Cybertron City]] combination. Meanwhile, the "Siege on Cybertron" instructions show him as a part of the [[Nemesis Command]] combination, albeit mislabeled as [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Autobot Blaster]].

:This mold was further retooled as ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' [[Ginrai (human)#Legends|Super Ginrai]], which was redecoed into Siege On Cybertron [[Ginrai (robot)#Titans Return|Magnus Prime]].

*'''Diac & Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2016)
**''Accessories'': Sword, Double-barreled rifle, [[Diac#Generations|Diac]] Titan Master

:This Optimus Prime is a Voyager-sized Triple Changer mold, which transforms from robot to tanker truck to plane (based on the [[Action Master]] [[Armored Convoy]] vehicle) and back. His robot mode is heavily based on ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|Laser Optimus Prime]], whilst the deco appears to draw from Star Convoy. His Titan Master partner [[Diac#Toys|Diac]] transforms into his head (but any Titan Master figure is compatible). Like all ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Voyager class figures, he has built in mechanisms to "bulk up" his noggin. In his case these are spring-loaded pylons. His robot mode also features fake truck windows.

:This iteration of the mold and its redecos exhibit a minor design flaw: there are two tabs on the plane mode's wings that prevent the truck mode's trailer from fully closing at the rear. Ostensibly, this can be rectified by setting the wings slightly askew so they can properly flatten against each other. However, this leads to some holes on each wing not being lined up with some corresponding pegs on the trailer.

:This mold was redecoed into ''Legends'' [[Scourge (RID)#Voyager|Black Convoy]] and ''Street Fighter X Transformers'' [[Ryu#Toys|Ryu]], and retooled into [[Octane#Titans Return|Octone]]. Beginning with this wave, Hasbro changed the standard packaging design for ''Titans Return'' Voyagers from "Autobot" style to "Decepticon" style regardless of character faction.

:This mold would've been redecoed as "Action Master" Optimus Prime with a redecoed Infinitus Titan Master for the BotCon 2017 "Action on Hydrus Four" set that never came to be.

:Another Hasbro release of the [[#MP10|MP-10 mold]], which is ''basically a reissue'' of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10hasbro|2010 ''Transformers'' line's ''Masterpiece'' Optimus Prime]], but with the Japanese release's ID number.

:''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' "Evolution Optimus Prime" transforms from a truck with a trailer into a robot and back. The individual truck transforms into his "Orion Pax" form based on his appearance in the Generation 1 episode "[[War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn]]", and he is able to form the core of Optimus Prime's robot mode. His trailer forms Prime's entire body, sharing a noticeable amount of details with MP-10 mold, most notably an almost identical head sculpt. He is the first non-''Masterpiece'' ''Generations'' G1 Optimus Prime figure to include removable [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix of Leadership]] accessory, which is stored in his chest in the 'Evolved' form. The center of his Matrix of Leadership can be replaced with any [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]]. His [[ion blaster]] can be split into two weapons for Orion Pax to use, while also store on Optimus Prime's back via visible [[5 mm post]]s of Orion Pax's hands, though this is undocumented in the instructions. The Takara version of the mold lacks the production numbers located at his right shins. Depending on the individual copy, Optimus Prime is prone to having a number of quality control issues: ranging from two left/right arms and/or legs/feet on the evolution armor, to lacking stickers on the trailer pieces. On the other hand, the trailer can also be towed by any other figure with a compatible hitch.

:Though designated for a first quarter 2018 release, Optimus's wave unsurprisingly reached U.S. store shelves in December 2017.

**''Accessories:'' "W-50 Dual-Mech Energon Strikeshield," "W-M3 RF Ion Blaster" (combines to form "Sentrystrike Ultra-Blaster")

:Part of the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Voyager Class figures, Optimus Prime transforms from robot to [[For safety reasons|short-smokestacked]] Cybertronian armored truck and back. For an inexpensive mass-retail release, Optimus's robot mode is very accurate to his design from the original cartoon (albeit with added details) and also features excellent poseability on par with a ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' toy, resulting in a version of the character that gives collectors lots of bang for their buck. He includes two weapons compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]—the "W-50 Dual-Mech Energon Strikeshield," which is an axe that transforms into a shield, and the "W-M3 RF [[Ion blaster|Ion Blaster]]." Both weapons can combine to form the "Sentrystrike Ultra-Blaster." An argument could be made that being able to flip around Optimus's underarm kibble to form underslung gatling guns is an undocumented gimmick. Optimus Prime also features "battle damage" paint applications on several parts of his body, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:In vehicle mode, opening the figure's windows shows the [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Matrix of Leadership]] molded into the plastic behind the windows. Due to the transformation, the Matrix doesn't end up in the chest in robot mode. Despite being a Voyager-scale figure, the truck mode is considerably small, in scale with a Legends-sized figure. Whether through coincidence or design, it's possible to fit a ''Power of the Primes'' Matrix core (and by extension, a [[Prime Master]] or [[Titan Master]]) in his chest.

:An additional, undocumented but confirmed third "hover truck" mode exists, which is achieved by folding all of his wheels under his vehicle mode. While the back wheels don't lock in anywhere, the two front wheels actually have small tabs that plug into slots on the back of the wheel sections that aren't used for either of his other modes.<ref>[http://www.toyboxsoapbox.com/2018/11/13/transformers-siege-voyager-optimus-prime-review/ "At some convention somewhere one Hasbro rep let slip that Siege Optimus Prime also had a hidden hover truck mode."] on Toybox Soapbox</ref>

:There is a message written in [[Cybertronian language|Cybertronian letters]] on Optimus Prime's box art, which reads "LIGHT THE DARKEST HOUR."

:While Optimus greatly resembles the inner robot of ''Siege'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Ultra Magnus]], he is actually a completely different mold and therefore not compatible with the [[Magnus Armor]]. This mold was later used to make [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Nemesis Prime]]. A large number of parts of this figure were reused for the ''Earthrise'' Optimus Prime figure released in 2020. Due to this, the trailer packaged with the ''Earthrise'' figure is fully compatible with the ''Siege'' figure's truck mode.

:Care should be taken not to pull the waist transformation hinge too far back or else the partially open clip housing the pin may break.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP7V5NVghvE]</ref> Depending on the individual quality control, the roof panel (notably the rear right side) may not shut properly in vehicle mode.

:Part of the second wave ''Siege'' Leader Class figures, "Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime" is an extensive retool of the same line's [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Ultra Magnus]], taking heavy design cues from [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Cybertron|''Cybertron'' Optimus Prime]] (the Japanese series name being "''Galaxy Force''," which is referenced in the name). He transforms into a heavily armed fire truck like the ''Cybertron'' figure, but with a Cybertronian aesthetic. The two "W-30 Magnetic Inducer Launchers" are unpainted blasters from ''Siege'' Ultra Magnus, and as such, mirror the detailing placed just behind ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]]'s cab. Their hexagonal tips resembling ''Cybertron'' Optimus Prime's Super Mode leg cannons were likely a foresight for this retooling, but are molded in black rather than grey likely due to [[gang-molding]]. Optimus Prime also features "battle damage" paint applications on several parts of his body, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:The core figure's robot mode is inspired by Prime's Generation 1 look, but with [[Kibble|vehicle mode details]] and coloration (including yellow eyes) based on the cab of his ''Cybertron'' counterpart. As with the original ''Cybertron'' figure, the barrel of the truck's left cannon can be detached and wielded by Prime as a rifle called the "JF-15 Gravity Force Laser." The sides of the bumper in truck mode can detach and form arm cannons based on his ''Cybertron'' counterpart's forearms. All five weapons are compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Because of the nature of the mold, additional shoulderpads [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|resembling halves of his truck cab]] were included to complete the Super Mode's resemblance to the template. The vehicle mode's cannons can be underslung and handheld similarly to the ''Cybertron'' figure thanks to the sliding pegs, but lack the original's gimmicks. Unlike Ultra Magnus, Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime also features flip-out support struts on the leg armor to compensate the back's weight. While they're hardly needed since the armor's bulk is heavy enough to support the weight, the pieces also prevent the leg armors from standing flat when left folded in.

:Unlike the above Voyager Class figure, this Prime is fully compatible with the [[Magnus Armor]], as is Ultra Magnus with Optimus's Super Mode gear. Also, whether intentional or not, the figure scales almost perfectly with other figures from the original Cybertron line.

:The box art of his vehicle modes is [[Stock photography#Problems with stock photos|mistransformed]], likely as a result of using CGI renders; the two shoulder pieces are shown being left on, which is genuinely impossible and in fact appear to be clipped through each other. They are instead stored inside the leg armor, which forms the back end of the trailer. Strangely, the clear blue plastic used for the cab has light bars molded in, but they are painted over in red. Presumably this is to make the inner robot appear more like G1 Optimus, but results in a less accurate vehicle mode compared to the ''Cybertron'' design. Additionally, there are existing stock photos of the figure without the wingpack and the smaller robot head flipped out.

:Specially branded for the 35th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand, ''Siege'' "Classic Animation Optimus Prime" is a redeco of the Voyager Class figure above, featuring a cel-shaded paint pattern that evokes his appearance in the cartoon (though the physical result is more like that of [[Transformers: Devastation|''Devastation'']]). In addition, the grey plastics and paint operations are now replaced with white, and the tire rims' paint is omitted.

:Alongside fellow cel-shaded figure [[Megatron (G1)/Generations toys#S66|Megatron]] and the other "35th Anniversary" Optimus was exclusive to [[Walmart]] in the United States and Canada, and among the first figures that debuted a new, "worldwide" [[multilingual packaging]] design that merged the languages typically found on European packaging with those found on American packaging.

:''[[Transformers Collaborative|Collaborative]]'' Ghostbusters x Transformers ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' MP-10G Optimus Prime Ecto-35 Edition (whew!) is a [[Ghostbusters]]-themed redeco of the MP-10 Convoy/Optimus Prime mold.

:Optimus Prime is now decoed in white, dark gray and red, with a Ghostbusters "no ghosts" logo on his right shoulder in addition to the Autobot logo on his left. The trailer is decoed similarly, with Ecto-1 style details adorning the sides, as well as green ghost splatter. Optimus's vehicle mode bumper includes an "ECTO-35" plate, which can be seen through his chest in robot mode, referencing the 35th Anniversary of both the ''Transformers'' and ''Ghostbusters'' franchises.

:He includes all his accessories, aside from [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] and his axe, gaining a number of additional ones consistent with the theme. The trailer opens out into the "Ecto-Base," or can be stood upright as the "Ecto Maintenance Dock." A snap-on cover can be applied to Roller to turn him into a ghost trap, a painted opaque version of the [[Slimer]] figure included with Ectotron, and a "roof-rack accessory" using the same mold as [[Ectotron]]'s that pegs into the roof of the trailer. This final item converts into a proton pack for robot mode, pegging into the hole in his back, and a hose connects his ion blaster to the proton pack to serve as a particle thrower. In addition, the figure's packaging is shaped like a proton pack, complete with clips to enable the buyer to strap it to their back.

:Ectotron can ''sort of'' fit into Prime's trailer, but this requires the former's equipment rack to be removed from the roof, and clearance within the trailer prevents the trailer's rear tailgate from closing.

**''Hasbro ID number:'' '''TT-GS01'''
**''Accessories'': trailer/evolution armor, ion-blaster (formed by two blasters), Silver Matrix

:''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' Star Convoy is a retool of the [[#Power of the Primes|''Power of the Primes'' Leader Class mold]], featuring new lower legs, head, upper shoulders, and waist parts for both the armor and inner robot, and a new torso for the latter. The Optimus Prime inner robot is remolded to resemble his Generation 1 toy, complete with toy-accurate yellow eyes. Most of the armor's grey parts (especially the evolution armor's arms) are now remolded in red plastic to be more accurate to Star Convoy's character model, though there are a few sacrifices leaving some of the red patches on the trailer.

:The Matrix of Leadership is now replaced with the "Silver Matrix" that is a singular piece of plastic dipped in chrome. As such, it does not accommodate Prime Masters/Matrices/Enigmas. The Matrix can be held by 5 mm fist holes and can combine with the guns to form a "Big Bang Cannon". Unlike the original versions of the mold, Star Convoy's stickers, intended to be applied to his trailer, come on a sheet instead of being factory-applied.

:The star-shaped piece that clips into Star Convoy's chest is new to this version of the mold. Because it pegs into a small hole between the tops of the doors to Star Convoy's chest compartment, it introduces an additional step to access the matrix chamber. The red connector which attaches the star to the figure is misassembled, and flipped from its proper orientation. Due to this, the star is prone to not attaching securely to the chest and can easily pop out without much effort. A fix<ref>[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/generations-selects-star-convoy-super-megatron-snaptrap-figures.1172403/page-113#post-17312785]</ref> utilized by some to address the issue involves popping out the star and connector, then flipping the connector around, before reattaching both parts to the figure. Care should be taken when handling the star and transforming Star Convoy to ensure it does not bump against other parts of the figure or experience undue stress, as it is molded from clear plastic coated in gold chrome. The stem of the star is particularly fragile and has been known to break without much force being applied to it.

:Reminescent of the fact that the original [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Return of Convoy|''Return of Convoy'' Star Convoy]] figure could transform into a battle station, a "Z Base Mode" was created for the character for the ''Selects'' [[Super Megatron comic 1|Special Comic promoting Super Megatron]], and the toy (and any of the ''Power of the Primes'' Evolution Optimus Prime molds) is capable of being configured into this form.

:This toy was released exclusively through [[TakaraTomy Mall]] and, thanks to brand unification, [[Hasbro Pulse]] and other online retailers in the United States and Canada. It is the first ''Selects'' figure to be developed by TakaraTomy.

**''Accessories:'' [[Ion blaster#Generations|Ion Blaster]], shield/ramp, trailer/[[Combat Deck (G1)#Generations|Combat Deck]], artillery robot, [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Matrix of Leadership]]

:Released as part of the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Leader Class toys, Optimus Prime is a cartoon-accurate, Voyager-sized mold with the front of the head and legs, knee flaps, feet, truck-side panels, and various inner parts reused from his ''Siege'' toy. This also means that, like the ''Siege'' toy, the truck mode is unusually small for a Voyager figure.

:For the first time for a non-''Masterpiece'' ''Generations'' toy, Optimus Prime comes with a trailer (which is also compatible with the ''Siege'' toy) that converts into a combat deck/repair bay with an artillery robot, which can be detached and used as a jetpack via a 5mm peg on the bottom. Awesome. He is also the first Voyager-sized figure with an opening chest compartment containing a removable [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Matrix of Leadership]] accessory. In an undocumented feature, the Matrix is able to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the Battle Masters assortment or attach to similarly sized posts such as the ones inside his trailer. His transformation scheme reuses some engineering and concepts from the ''Siege'' Voyager Class figures and ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS38|38 Optimus Prime]], with a new torso transformation. Interestingly, his rear wheels are borrowed from ''Studio Series'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS32|32]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS44|44 Optimus Prime]]. Part of the trailer's ramp detaches to form a shield and can connect to other ramps in the [[A.I.R. Lock System]]. Like ''Siege'' Jetfire, Optimus Prime features a hinge joint in each of his knuckles but without the flip-out post hole mechanism, instead 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'' figure can attach onto the forearm (if the hands are tucked away) with the tabs on the axe's hinged handle. Also likely coincidental, the trailer's hitch post is at exactly the right height to let it rest inside the 5mm hole on [[Roller (G1)#Generations|''Thrilling 30'' Roller]] and can even be pulled along on flat surfaces with the tiny truck.

[[File:TF-WFC-ER-Prime-Comparison.jpg|300px|thumb|[[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Universe .282008.29|Dodged another shot!]] (''Stock image comparison'')]]
:Confusingly, the figure had many color differences in different official promotional images. The original 3D renders depicted his colors completely show-accurate to the G1 cartoon (minus the blue codpiece, and with quite rare toy-accurate yellow eyes), the lack of striping on the forearms/side doors, and fully blue artillery robot for the trailer, while the pre-release prototype seen in New York Comic Con 2019 and the secondary stock photos had his hands and elbows molded in grey, with artillery robot being cast in grey and silver plastic similar to the rest of the trailer. According to [[John Warden]], this was due to the limitations of the mold. Even later, Takara's stock photos showed the figure with blue elbows and a blue and silver artillery robot. The retail release of the figure ultimately, for the most part, went with colors showcased in Hasbro's physical toy stock photos, but with previously yellow eyes now more cartoon-accurate blue, and with his hands, codpiece, and the back piece of his head painted in metallic blue.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIu3DkO1Sj0</ref> Early renders also displayed the figure's inner-shins as being molded in the same blue color as the rest of the legs, although the final figure presents them cast in gray and unpainted. The sample on the TakaraTomy stock photos also depict his trailer hitch as a single piece.

:Unfortunately, the change from toy accurate yellow eyes to cartoon-accurate blue clashes with the unpainted blue face, making it barely visible. The figure's head can be swapped with the head of the ''Siege'' figure (though the blue plastic is a slightly lighter shade) but it can cause some parts clash while transforming, as the back of the ''Earthrise'' head is a new, flatter part. This is also why the part is a painted red piece, so exercise some caution while tucking away/flipping out the head while transforming.

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

:The non-converting long-barreled Ion Blaster, the Energon Axe, [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Sideswipe]]'s jetpack, and [[Roller (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Roller]] were sold separately as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Deluxe Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]], though due to a section of Optimus' back being marginally wider than the space available, some force may be required to fully attach the jetpack. The Energon Axe is also specifically molded to fit onto Optimus' right hand, with the 5mm peg sliding into the bottom side of his hand. Although it can fit on his left hand if slid through the top, this puts noticeable stress on the axe's peg due to the thumb sliding up against the housing.

:The Combat Deck, including its artillery robot and shield/ramp, was redecoed for the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Nemesis Prime's]] Spoiler Pack. The Optimus Prime mold was also used to make ''War for Cybertron Trilogy Selects'' [[Optimus Prime (SG)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Shattered Glass Optimus Prime]].

:Optimus Prime first saw release in Bangkok before its actual release date in March.

**''Accessories:'' [[Ion blaster#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Ion Blaster]], shield/ramp, trailer/[[Combat Deck (G1)#AltUniverseOP|Combat Deck]], artillery robot, [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Matrix of Leadership]]

:"Alternate Universe Optimus Prime" is a grayscaled redeco of the figure above with a new head that evokes the battle damage and his death in ''The Transformers: The Movie''. The Matrix of Leadership is the same as the mass retail Leader, though the Ion Blaster is painted completely silver and his rear calves are painted. Another change is the number of lugnuts on the wheels of the trailer. The normal retail version has 10 lug nuts per wheel, whilst this release has none. He is packaged in a ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Selects]]''-styled box that depicts Ultra Magnus, Hot Rod, and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] grieving during his death scene reflected on a window of his damaged truck mode.
:There are reported issues where the left chest piece is unable to tab in fully due to a deformed pin, leaving a small uneven gap visible in robot mode.

:This is the only ''Earthrise'' toy to lack an ID number and map piece and isn't part of the Galactic Odyssey Collection. Coincidentally, Hasbro ID number WFC-E28 is never used in the toyline within its range of E1 to E41, lending to the possibility that WFC-E28 was intended to be his.

:Alternate Universe Optimus Prime was supposed to release as an exclusive for Amazon Prime Day 2020, though the day was pushed back several months, making the toy release much earlier. The figure first saw release in some Malaysian hobby shops ''before'' it was fully revealed on Hasbro's June 26 [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fan First Friday]] stream. The figure was later released in Japan as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive as part of the 7th wave of TakaraTomy ''Selects'' toys.

:Despite coming in a ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]''-style box, the set is only branded as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', and doesn't include a ''Selects'' lineup number, instead having an ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' ID number.

:Promoting the ''Earthrise'' chapter of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon]], this version of Optimus Prime is a trailer-less redeco of the ''Earthrise'' Leader Class mold in darker colors more reminiscent of his [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|G1 figure]]. He comes with Battle Masters Enerax and Sheeldron, translucent yellow redecoes of ''Siege'' [[Pteraxadon#Toys|Pteraxadon]] and ''Earthrise'' [[Soundbarrier#Toys|Soundbarrier]] respectively, without the effects parts. In terms of deco, Optimus's blue plastic/paint operations and the unpaintable gray joints are replaced with the same darker shade of blue (which also coincidentally resembles the erroneous deco used for most of TakaraTomy's stock photos of the mold), the interiors of his opening chest windows are unpainted, the molded detail in the center of his pelvis is painted yellow, the translucent plastic is the ''slightest'' smoky green, and the eyes are a non-metallic light blue.

:The stock renders for both the robot and vehicle modes are inconsistent with the later stock photos: The forearms are still depicted as stripeless in robot mode, while the rear hip piece and the thighs are differently colored in the truck mode render.

:As with other ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' figures, Optimus Prime was exclusive to Walmart in Canada and the United States.

{{note|This figure of [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Nemesis Prime]] also represents a "much darker future" of Optimus Prime in the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]] cartoon.}}

:Promoting the ''Earthrise'' chapter of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon]], this ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' Leader Unboxing set contains a redeco of ''Siege'' Voyager Class [[#War for Cybertron: Siege|Optimus Prime]] as Nemesis Prime. The figure comes with ''Siege'' Optimus's "W-M3 RF Ion Blaster" (but not his "W-50 Dual-Mech Energon Strikeshield") plus a sizeable number of extras that beef up the price. These include: a redecoed trailer from ''Earthrise'' [[#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Optimus Prime]]; the Dark Saber, [[Giza (POTP)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Giza]], and large forearm blaster accessories, all from the [[#Power_of_the_Primes|''Power of the Primes'' Evolution Leader Class toy]]; [[Fangtron#Toys|Fangtron]], a [[redeco]] of ''Earthrise'' Battle Master [[Slitherfang#Toys|Slitherfang]], along with their blast effect part; and a compound through which a buyer can dig to reveal energon cubes, rereleased from ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Ultra Magnus's]] Spoiler Pack. Fangtron and the shield/Combat Deck ramp are both compatible with the [[A.I.R. Lock System]], as the former can turn into a ramp or a shield for Nemesis Prime. This toy also features a different deco compared to the above TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. Namely, he is in fact molded in very dark gray plastic as opposed to the deep black of the Takara version, and the vehicle stripes, bumper guns, and wheel rims are silver instead of teal.

:The Hasbro stock photography for the truck mode is also ''laughably'' mistransformed, with the robot mode crotch being plainly visible, an error that actually requires a considerable amount of effort to replicate with the actual toy. In addition, neither the truck windows nor panels that cover the robot mode hands are compressed fully.

:Much like previous Spoiler Pack, this set is in a windowless box designed to look like an ammo crate and features translatable [[Cybertronian language|Ancient Autobot]]. The text on the package reads "FANGTRON" and "GIZA", while the 'spoiler' text inside features a Decepticon-themed quote: "YOU MUST STAY TRUE / TO WHOM THE MATRIX HAS / CHOSEN, FOR IF YOU / DON’T, A MUCH / DARKER FUTURE AWAITS" and an Autobot-themed one: "THE DEAD UNIVERSE IS / UNLIKE ANYTHING YOU’VE / EXPERIENCED, PRIME", which are both quotes from [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] in [[Earthrise episode 5]]. The lateral side of the package also features artwork of Nemesis Prime, edited from art of ''Earthrise'' Optimus Prime. Compared to the previous Spoiler Pack, the packaging itself has no plastic insert.

:This set is a shared exclusive between online retailers and [[Walmart]] in Canada and the USA. In New Zealand, the set was sold exclusively at Toy World and Mighty Ape. Like the previous Spoiler Pack, the TakaraTomy release is packaged in a standard windowed box.

**''Accessories'': Ion Blaster

:Part of the first wave of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Core Class toys, Optimus Prime is a smaller, roughly Legends-sized mold that according to his product copy and stock images is meant to be posed with larger toys of the same character, but we would be stupid not to note that he is also a good size to interact with Titan Class figures. His transformation shares engineering with the [[#Thrilling 30|''Thrilling 30'' Legends figure]], but with sculpted detailing directly based on the ''Earthrise'' mold, down to detailing like the ''vestigial knee flaps'' from the ''Siege'' mold. The included Ion Blaster features a 3 mm handle under a 5 mm post, dedicated to the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. He is also fairly articulated for a figure this small, having head rotation and tilting, head tilting, torso rotation (which actually looks a bit unnatural), ab crunch, butterfly joints at the shoulders, and ball joints in shoulders, elbows, hips and knees.
:Optimus Prime also had a very minor problem standing straight even with the legs standing flat.

:Unlike the actual product, the truck door section of the wrist/hand part is unpainted in the CG stock render. Curiously, his instructions depict an Energon axe that was notably left out of the final release, and was not shown in stock photos. It is currently unknown if this axe will be included with a later release of the mold.

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

:Much like most of the toyline, Optimus Prime comes with one of four possible holographic [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]] cards for his wave, which reveals a [[Source:Golden Disk destinies|possible destiny]] of a key character, Optimus Prime being one of them.

:In a similar deco to the ''[[3A|ThreeZero]]'' figure, Optimus Prime is redecoed to be completely accurate to his on-screen appearance in the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron'' Trilogy cartoon]]; for example, the translucent blue parts are now green, an extra white stripe is added in the front of the sideways truck kibble, and the battle damage is changed.

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Legacy (toyline)|Legacy]]'' Leader Class toys, "Laser Optimus Prime" is an updated version of his [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#LaserOptimusPrime|''Generation 2'' design]] which transforms into a mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX, with decos imitating both his original release as well as [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#RTSDeluxe|his 2010 Deluxe Class remake]]. He includes an Energon sword, an Energon axe, and a trailer which can transform into a battle station (tanker deco of Optimus burning down a forest not included!). His signature shoulder pylons can open outwards to reveal missile pods, something the previous two figures couldn't accomplish.

:Most of Laser Optimus Prime's lower body, including his hips, thighs, and feet, reuse elements from the ''Earthrise'' toy above whereas other details like his shins and the entirety of his upper body are brand-new. Like the ''Earthrise'' toy, the shins have the vestige of the ''Siege'' figure's trailer hitch on the outside.

:The [[Hasbro Pulse]] listing for the figure has him at "G2 Universe Laser Optimus Prime" while the packaging itself merely labels him as "Laser Optimus Prime".

When the [[Transformers (film)|live-action ''Transformers'' film]] was pushed back from November 2006 to July 2007, [[Hasbro]] needed to create a filler line to bridge the gap in their product offerings. That bridge was a revisitation of the original "[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]" characters, dubbed '''''Transformers: Classics'''''. The line featured many original toy designs, as well as some [[Mini-Con]]s which were originally meant for the tail-end of the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' line. A handful of [[redeco]]ed [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] figures rounded out the selection.

''Classics'' has a Japanese counterpart in ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'', and later gained spiritual successors in the [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' line]], the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' line, and the ''Reveal the Shield'' segment of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' line]].

The third wave, titled "Cybertron Collection", consisted of straight re-releases of [[Lio Convoy#Classics|Leo Prime]] and three ''Cybertron'' figures.

Megatron's figure was based on his ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' tank form and would lead to more G2-inspired figures in later lines. Optimus Prime additionally received a redeco of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|his 20th Anniversary figure]] (perhaps better known as the first ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' figure) with a new electronic base.

As there were a limited number of ''Classics'' molds available, the line was further filled with "Unicron Trilogy" redecoes, a ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' redeco, and even some vintage [[The Transformers (toyline)|original toyline]] molds.

==Fiction==
[[File:TimelinesVol2 2 Diamond.jpg|thumb]]
Although no cartoons or comic books were planned for the line by Hasbro, [[Fun Publications]] picked up the ball for their [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club (magazine)|Official Transformers Fan Club Magazine comic]], making ''Classics'' the basis of their 2007 story-arc, "[[Crossing Over]]". The story uses the old [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel US ''The Transformers'' comic]] as backstory, but disregards the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel UK]] material and the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|''Generation 2'' comic]] that followed, taking things in a new direction instead. The ''Classics'' fiction has since been expanded by several exclusive on-line prose stories, single issue comics available through the club or at BotCon, and through profiles available on the club website or in the magazine.

A brief timeline of the ''Classics'' universe includes:
*"[[The New World]]" - online prose
*''[[Revelations Part 6|Revelations]]'' - 2006's 6 part club magazine story (only the very end takes place in the Classicverse)
*''[[Crossing Over]]'' - 2007's 6 part club magazine story
*"[[Games of Deception]]" - BotCon 2007 convention comic
*"[[Gone Too Far]]" - online prose (only the ending takes place in the Classicsverse)
*"[[Withered Hope]]" - online prose (only the epilogue takes place in the Classicverse)
*"[[Cheap Shots]]" - one-time comic special, available through the club
*"[[At Fight's End]]" - online prose

The Classicsverse has always been tied closely to the [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (fiction)|''Shattered Glass'']] universe, with ''Classics'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Cliffjumper]] travelling there after the events of ''Crossing Over''. The two universes collided in BotCon 2012's "Invasion" comic, where [[Ultra Magnus (SG)|Ultra Magnus]]'s interdimensional tampering resulted in the destruction of the Classicsverse. Various short ''[[Transformers: TransTech|TransTech]]'' comics were released online, acting as a framing device for the event.
[[File:Invasion-OctopunchvsOctopunch.jpg|thumb|Trust nobody, not even yourself.]]
*"[[Invasion Prologue]]" - online comic, later printed in the Diamond Edition of "Invasion"
*"[[Invasion (issue)|Invasion]]" - BotCon 2012 convention comic
*"[[Invasion: Epilogue]]" - online comic, later printed in [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 48|issue #48]] of the [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club (magazine)|club magazine]]
*"[[Timeless]]" - online comic in which ''Transtech'' [[Rhinox (TransTech)|Rhinox]] observes the Shattered Glass

Not everything from the Classicsverse would end up destroyed in this event. ''Classics'' Earth would be transported into the ''Shattered Glass'' universe to end up orbiting its Cybertron, and later stories would feature these refugees interacting with their alternate-universe counterparts. Ultra Magnus and Megatron's ships would also survive into this new universe, only to end up in its prehistoric past.
*''[[Beast Wars Shattered Glass]]'' - 2013's 6 part club magazine story
*"[[Solar Requiem]]" - pack-in comic co-produced by Fun Publications and [[e-HOBBY]]
*''[[Another Light]]'' - 2015's 7 part club magazine story
*''[[Of Masters and Mayhem]]'' - 2016's 6 part club magazine story, set in ''another'' universe but featuring Classicsverse [[Pretender]]s
*''[[Epilogue]]'' - one-page comic printed in [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 72|the last issue]] of the club magazine, picking up on the cast of "Cheap Shots"

==What counts as ''Classics''?==
[[File:UltimateBattleClassics.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5]]
The term "Classics" is universally accepted and used by both fans and Hasbro, but it appears with surprising irregularity around the toys themselves. The first year of packaging only labelled them "Transformers" (with the tag line "Robots in Disguise" occasionally being mistaken for a secondary title), with "Classic" appearing solely as a prefix to some of the [[size class]]es, such as "Classic Deluxe" or "Classic Voyager".

On the other hand, the photo gallery of the toy line included on the ''[[Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle]]'' DVD invited its viewers to "check out all the awesome TRANSFORMERS Classics figures!". Furthermore, Hasbro's official Transformers website prominently featured the name "Classics" in multiple places at the time, including a "Transformers Classics" overview page. The accompanying toy list included almost all the toys listed above, explicitly identifying assortments such as "Classic Legends" and "Classic Mini-Con 3-packs" by name. The Hasbro website also featured a variation of the toy line logo that included the secondary title "Classic", which can also be found, of all places, on the bottom of the packaging for [[TakaraTomy]]'s ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' versions of all the figures that originated from the US Classics line, just like those figures whose Hasbro counterparts were released under the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' toy line sport a small ''Transformers: Universe'' logo on the bottom of their packaging.

Some toys, such as the Magnus/Skywarp two-pack, have no "Classic" label at all. The one unifying factor was the distinctive design of the packaging, which spread to even the [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave re-release]]. This has become the commonly-accepted delineator of the ''Classics'' line, which brings the following toys into the fold even though they don't self-identify as such:

*Prime vs. Megatron Ultimate Battle set
*Magnus vs. Skywarp Battle for Autobot City set
*20th Anniversary Prime redeco
*Mini-Cons (the Mini-Con sets have been referred to as ''Classics'' toys on Hasbro's website, but not on the packaging)
*Toys"R"Us exclusive reissue Soundwave
*BotCon 2007 exclusives
*Pepsi Optimus Prime
*Optimus Prime & Ultra Magnus (Asian market exclusive two-pack, 2007)
*Jetfire & Grimlock (Asian market exclusive two-pack, 2007)
*Masterpiece Starscream Hasbro release

Complicating things further, ''Classics'' would later be subsumed by the relaunched ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' franchise (which also engulfed ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]''). The line replaced the defining ''Classics'' packaging style with the new ''Universe'' design. Only a small "Classic Series" label on their packaging maintained the connection to the previous ''Classics'' toys and separated them from other toys in the ''Universe'' line, labelled "Beast Wars Series", "Armada Series" or "Cybertron Series". However, as the line progressed, "Classic Series" was eventually replaced with "Generation 1 Series", which appears to have been simply an attempt at more consistent labelling. The 2008 ''Universe'' toy line and the [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|2010 ''Generations'' toyline]] are also sometimes informally referred to as Classics 2.0 and Classics 3.0.

The fan-created acronym [[CHUG]] serves as a general catch-all term for the follow-up lines to Classics that redesign and modernize old characters.

==Notes==
[[File:Classics Soundwave.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|And this is what you could have won...]]
*Several other toys were planned for ''Classics'', but never made it past the concept or prototype stage. Those include:
**Concept art for [[Cosmos (G1)#Notes|Cosmos]] was shown at [[BotCon 2006]]. The design was rejected because the higher-ups at [[Hasbro]] felt the [[alternate mode]] was too "boring". The art was later printed as part of the supplementary material in the ''[[The Transformers: Stormbringer|Stormbringer]]'' trade paperback collection. The design itself was later revisited for the "Cybertron Heroes" segment of the ''[[Titanium Series]]'', but ultimately never made it past the hardcopy prototype stage due to the cancellation of the ''Titanium Series''.
**A Voyager-sized [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Notes|Soundwave]] was first hinted in an alleged list of the tentative ''Classics'' line-up.<ref name="classicslineup">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/possible-transformers-classic-line-up-4336/ Rumor] about the ''Classics'' lineup that turned out to be spot on aside from Voyager Soundwave and Deluxe Optimus Prime.</ref> Years later, [[Don Figueroa]] unveiled his unused design artwork for an SUV-esque Soundwave.<ref name="donswave">[http://www.unicron.com/news_item/1132/ Don Figueroa, New Concept Art & comics news!]</ref>
**The aforementioned tentative line-up also listed a Deluxe-sized [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] without a trailer and a version ''with'' a trailer at the Voyager [[size class|price point]]; however, it appears the decision was eventually made to upscale Optimus to Voyager size instead.<ref name="sage">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/cybertron-crosswise-redeco-and-transformers-classics-info-4683/ "Cybertron Crosswise Redeco and Transformers Classics Info"] (via [[Joe Kyde]]'s proxy "SAGE2764")</ref> [[Don Figueroa]]'s [[control drawing]]s for the Deluxe version were leaked before the ''Classics'' line was even released at retail.<ref name="primecontrol">Leaked ''Classics'' Deluxe Optimus Prime control drawings: [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/transformers-classics-optimus-prime-design-sketch-4691/ Vehicle mode], [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/transformers-classics-optimus-prime-robot-mode-design-sketches-4692/ robot mode]</ref> A gray model [[prototype]] was later shown as part of an interview with [[TakaraTomy]]'s staff in ''[[Transformers Generations 2009#Volume 1|Transformers Generations 2009 vol. 1]]''.<ref name="ttinterview">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/general-articles-25/translated-version-of-the-takara-tomy-transformers-henkei--classics-staff-interview-167073/ Translated TakaraTomy Henkei/Classics staff interview]</ref> It's unclear whether the trailer ever made it past the early planning stage before the decision was made to uspscale Optimus to Voyager size.

'''Ratchet and a disabled veteran attempt to save a life while still completing a mission.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s weather-controlling device creates a sudden hurricane along the Gulf Coast where disabled veteran Stan Bennett is hitchhiking. The driver who picks him up is forced off the road by a falling tree, and trapped in the car amid rising water. Stan goes to find help, and encounters [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] on an urgent mission to repair the crashed [[Sky Spy]] probe. Ratchet extracts the woman, but she requires emergency surgery Ratchet isn't qualified to do, and Stan (a former field medic) cannot perform because he only has one arm.

Ratchet uses the damaged Sky Spy to deep-scan Stan's memories of his medical training, and conducts the operation while Stan supervises. Stan learns the missing element needed to complete Sky Spy's repair is Titanium, and volunteers his prosthetic hook for the job. The Sky Spy is launched and stops the weather machine long enough for [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] to destroy it.

Later, Ratchet checks up on Stan and their patient. Stan has regained his confidence and intends to attend medical school, despite lacking an arm. Ratchet presents him with a token of gratitude, a prosthetic arm made with Cybertronian technology to replace the one he disassembled to repair Sky-Spy. The two healers then go off to talk over drinks of oil and soda.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*"Healers, Fighters, and Transformers" takes place in a [[micro-continuity]] very similar to the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]] except set around the time of the story's publication (2004).
*Ratchet gains a working knowledge of human medical science.

===Trivia===
*[[Teletraan I]] is spelled "Teletran One".
*Ratchet and Stan were both feeling lost in this story. Ratchet had been spending more time on combat missions and less time as a medic, and Stan was haunted by helplessly watching his comrades die in the same accident that cost him his arm. During the Sky Spy download, Stan re-experiences the memories of all the people he helped as a medic, and Ratchet is able to re-connect with what it means to him to be a healer.

[[File:HeatScramble-TheFallen.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|The levitation trick gets The Fallen all The Ladies at parties.]]
If the [[Thirteen|first Transformers]] were [[Primus]]'s disciples, then '''The Fallen''' is his Judas. At the dawn of time, he was '''Megatronus''', one of a brotherhood of vastly powerful beings dedicated to the well-being of their world. But The Fallen would gain his current moniker by turning against his brother [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]s and his purpose to pursue his own ends, also earning the moniker "the first Decepticon" in the process. His frightening form is a metal cage for primal, burning forces of [[Unicron|chaos]], giving him the appearance of a living furnace. These cauldron-like forces purged him of what empathy and morality remained; all that remains now is hatred and purest rage.

The Fallen is immensely powerful. He commands mystic, entropic arts, and when at full strength he can un-make creation at his focused will. He is rarely defeated; at best he is contained, where he waits with eternal patience for the chance to unleash his dark powers once again. Though he has at times been imprisoned between dimensions, this rarely lasts. When his power is at its height, The Fallen can open [[space bridge]]s and travel between dimensions and realities at will.

Like his brothers, The Fallen was once a [[multiversal singularity]], meaning that in all of the vast [[Continuity|multiverse]], he had no alternate-universe doppelganger, but that is now [[Shroud|no longer the case]]. In several realities he is the originator of the [[Decepticon]]s, the catalyst that prompted [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to claim power for himself rather than the greater good. While the exact details of his past are complicated beyond the understanding of mortals,<ref>See [[Hasbro Q&A/July 2009: Answers|Hasbro Q&A/July 2009: Answer #3]] for more information.</ref> one thing usually remains consistent: He's bad, bad news.

When Primus and Unicron first battled as planets, Primus created the first 13 Transformers to assist him in planet mode. The Fallen's original purpose as one of the 13 was to oversee entropy, the orderly dissolution of all things in preparation for the next creation. But the concept of destruction fascinated him too much, and he lost sight of the goal of rebirth and the necessity of restraint. His investigations into the dark sciences led him to Unicron, to whom he gave himself.<ref>[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/titanium/the-fallen/1126/2/9/ Fallen's ''Titanium Series'' on-package bio]</ref> Corrupted by Unicron, the Fallen then tried to sabotage his creator's body. This attempt ended in failure, and "The Fallen" fled to his master, but there was little refuge to be found: They were both sucked into a [[black hole]]. {{storylink|Transformers: The Ultimate Guide}}

Approximately 7 million years before the 21st century, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] were lost in a [[space bridge]] accident. This accident weakened the barrier between reality and [[unspace|the dimension]] in which The Fallen was trapped, allowing The Fallen to eventually break free and return to Cybertron. The Fallen set about initiating the "[[Unbinding]]", to precipitate the return of Unicron, and spent years, if not millennia, subtly manipulating the Autobots and Decepticons, causing them to splinter into multiple sub-factions that engaged in a constant series of escalating conflicts.

[[File:Thefallenseeksfour.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Hey, The Fallen, ever heard of Tums?]]

As the time for the Unbinding drew near, the Fallen recruited a [[Chaos Trinity|trio of Decepticon outcasts]], [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]], and [[Bugly (G1)|Bugly]], who hungered for a command of [[Dark science|the occult]]. The Fallen promised them all manner of dark powers in exchange for serving him. Leading his three followers to the [[Well of All Sparks]], hidden within Cybertron, he explained that the Unbinding required four particular Transformers, who would function as "angles in the geometry of dissolution", and named [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] as the first. {{storylink|Fragmentation (G1)|Fragmentation}}

The Fallen and company proceeded to construct a strange machine within the Well of All Sparks in preparation for the Unbinding. Unfortunately, Bludgeon and friends got impatient for more than The Fallen's praise and demanded a more tangible reward: the arcane power he had promised them. The Fallen responded by grabbing Bludgeon's head and giving him a mere glimpse of what he sought: images of a fiery vortex, demonic faces, stabbing swords and a human skull engulfed Bludgeon. The Fallen stated that this was but a peek inside a dark door he would fully open if they served him well. This left Bludgeon suitably inspired to begin hunting down their targets.

[[File:Thefallengrimlock.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|Someone should tell Grimlock this more often.]]

Bugly and Mindwipe leaked information to draw the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] out into combat with [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], while Bludgeon hatched a plot to snare both Grimlock and [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]. {{storylink|Escalation}} Bludgeon, Bugly, and Mindwipe ambushed Jetfire as he attempted a cross-faction meeting with [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. When Grimlock crashed the party earlier than they expected, however, The Fallen himself had to intervene and caught Grimlock's blazing energo-sword in his bare hand. {{storylink|Revelation (The Dark Ages)|Revelation}}

Grimlock took one punch from The Fallen yet still got back up, so The Fallen grabbed him by the shoulders and unleashed a huge blast of energy that put the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] leader out cold. Shocked by the display, Jetfire surmised that The Fallen predated the Golden Age. The Fallen responded by knocking Jetfire out cold too. He then dragged Grimlock and Jetfire away and commanded his followers to gather the third angle, while he handled the fourth. The Fallen singlehandedly abducted [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] from his well-guarded holding cell in Autobot headquarters, shrugging off attacks by some of the Autobots' best warriors and causing their weapons to corrode away into uselessness with a mere gesture. Bludgeon's team, meanwhile, succeeded in acquiring [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] from the Protectobots.

[[File:Fallenmoreonfire.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|The Fallen somehow sets himself ''more on fire''.]]

All four angles were strapped to the device in the Well of All Sparks. The Fallen theatrically explained to the awakening Jetfire that they were casualties in the war of the Gods, and would be used to break the Seal of Primus, after which "all chaos will follow". {{storylink|Confrontation (issue)|Confrontation}}

The Fallen continued his villainous monologue, apparently directing it not at Jetfire but at Primus himself, as the four Transformers' unique sparks were drained to unlock the Seal of Primus. A combined army of forces from several factions defeated the Chaos Trinity and penetrated The Fallen's operation. By the time they reached the door, The Fallen was satisfied that the Transformers were too late, until Jetfire arranged a force-field to surround the Seal. The Fallen was further impressed that Jetfire understood enough to try to contain the Seal, but his distraction cost him victory: the God of Light himself was subsequently roused from his slumber where he saw The Fallen. With a gesture of his radiant hand, Primus engulfed his wayward creation in a torrent of searing energy that was then sucked back into the Seal of Primus. {{storylink|Conflagration}}

{{Unreleased DW G1 comic}}
Shockwave broke the Seal for his cloning experiments, siphoning from within it the energy needed to create life. The Fallen's essence had then escaped and corrupted [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]. Following the clone's death, The Fallen's essence passed into Jetfire. Within visions, The Fallen attacked the Autobot over and over, while around them various key moments in Cybertron's history unfolded. Jetfire returned to reality as the Autobots were digging him free from the frozen prison he now found himself in. He was unable to warn them that The Fallen's essence had taken root in his spark as they broke through the ice holding him. {{storylink|The Enemy Within}}

=====Train Wars=====
[[File:TrainWars TheFallen.jpg|left|thumb|upright=2|The aftermath of when Queen Metallia claimed his Sun.]]
The Fallen staged an attack on Cybertron to steal [[Vector Sigma]], smashing his way through all Autobot resistance. The mega-computer managed to wrest itself free of the ancient villain's grip long enough to transform into its "[[Primus|Oracle]]" robot mode and lend its power to [[Overdrive]], who then used his powered-up [[Quantum Dial]] to bring forth reinforcements from time itself. The Fallen responded by summoning up troops of his own, who [[combiner|combined]] with him. {{storylink|Train Wars}} In his new combiner mode, The Fallen laid waste to the Autobots' multiversal reinforcements, impaling them on energy-blades. Recovering Vector Sigma, he began to integrate the computer into his body, but was fortunately distracted by [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] long enough for [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] to arrive with more reinforcements, made up of all kinds of train Transformers. Daniel and his partner [[Shouki]] blasted Vector Sigma free, and [[Shūta Gō]] and [[Goshooter]] then ''kicked'' the computer like a soccer ball, straight into The Fallen's face. The dazed demi-god found himself bound in a living chain made up of all the interlinked train Transformers, leaving him immobilized and open for one final attack. Using the power of Vector Sigma, Shouki unlocked a new transformation, becoming the gigantic "Train Bazooka" weapon, which Shuta then fired at The Fallen, obliterating him. {{storylink|Train Wars 2}}

[[File:TheFirstWhoWasNamed-MegatronusOrigins.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"[[Darth Vader|What is thy bidding, my master?]]"]]

Twelve million years ago, in the primitive age that followed the departure of the [[Knights of Cybertron]], the 'bot who would become "Megatronus" was a humble nomad who wandered the deserts of prehistoric Cybertron alongside the shepherd [[Onyx Prime|Onyx]] and his flock of beasts. One day, the flock came across a badly damaged Transformer in the wastes—unbeknownst to any of them, this was [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]], who had been cast backwards in time following the destruction of his [[chronal drive]].

Having recognized the figures for who they would become, Shockwave slew Onyx without a moment's hesitation, sending his followers fleeing... all of them, that is, except one of Onyx's compatriots. Realizing that he could use his understanding of Cybertron's past to set the planet's history along the preordained course that he knew it must follow, Shockwave dubbed Onyx's terrified compatriot "Megatronus," naming him after [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|the Decepticon leader that would one day arise]]. Fashioning a new body for himself from Onyx's remains, Shockwave thus became "Onyx;" knowing from history that Megatronus' conquests would lead to the eventual unification of Cybertron, "Onyx Prime" trained Megatronus in the ways of war and deliberately inspired him to build an empire of his own.

His tutelage complete, Shockwave set Megatronus on the lands to the west, and Shockwave's pupil soon established a kingdom that became known as the "[[Darklands]]." As his power and influence grew over the course of his campaigns, Megatronus became a feared warrior and tyrant, and took to calling himself "The First Who Was Named." {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

Late into his conquests, Megatronus marched on neighboring [[Protihex|Protohex]] and easily annexed it into the Darklands, overthrowing its ruler [[Septimus Prime]] and murdering his [[Supplicants of Arrius]]. There, he recruited the gladiator twins [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] and [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]], who proved their loyalty to him by slaughtering their old master. The pair thus became the vanguards of the army as Megatronus continued their eastward advance, conquering the [[Forgotten Plains]], deposing [[Liege Maximo]], and giving them the opportunity to attack the humble village that would one day become the [[Crystal City]]. Unbeknownst to Megatronus, "Onyx Prime" and Liege Maximo had arrived beforehand and galvanized the local tribes into allying with his army of beasts to battle Megatronus - and, by doing so, deliberately providing the necessary impetus that would unite the scattered tribes of Cybertron into a single civilization. Megatronus fought on the front lines before three [[Titan (group)|Titans]], drawn to the sounds of battle, arose from the ground. Megatronus paused to look, giving Onyx the opening to fight his way through Megatronus' forces, meet with his old friend, and convince him to stand down. The two armies quickly ratified a proper truce, and Megatronus and his warriors joined the alliance of [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]s. {{storylink|Origin Myths}}

In the era that followed, the seven Primes were joined by five more, giving rise to the [[Thirteen]], who ruled over the [[Thirteen Tribes]]. Many of the Primes had grown arrogant, however, and began spreading rumors that only a Prime could kill another Prime so as to maintain their superiority over their followers. {{storylink|The Crucible}} At Onyx's urging, [[Prima]] began a program of interstellar expansion; aiming to spread [[Pax Cybertronia]] across the galaxy, he sent Megatronus, Onyx, Alpha Trion, [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] and the [[Guardian robot|Omega Sentinels]] to lead an extraplanetary colonization mission to neighboring [[Antilla]], claiming that their deeds would spread the "enlightenment" of Cybertronian civilization to other worlds. The Cybertronian colonization force quickly encountered severe resistance from the Antillans; the devastating Antillan/Cybertronian war would end when an [[Unicron's creator|Antillan scientist]] deployed a [[Talisman (G1)|doomsday weapon]] that scoured all life on the planet, and the fallout from the war would ensure that the rest of the universe would come to fear the destructive power of the Transformers. {{storylink|Our Finest}} {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

[[File:TheFirstWhoWasNamed-MegatronusKillsSolus.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"You're with '''HIM!!!''' You brought him here to kill me!"]]

Prima was enraged to learn that their benevolent mission had failed and blamed Megatronus for the disaster; when an insulted Megatronus was subsequently approached by Liege Maximo, the manipulative Prime stoked Megatronus's resentment and eventually brokered a secret alliance, a sequence of events that had been deliberately orchestrated by Shockwave so as to bring about the fall of the Primes as history had foretold. Megatronus and Liege Maximo sought to overthrow Prima, but in the ensuing struggle [[Solus Prime]] sacrificed her life to defend their leader, allowing Megatronus to run her through with her own [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]]. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}} Their conspiracy unveiled, the grand alliance between the Primes collapsed and their followers fell to fighting amongst one another, heralding the beginning of the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]]. {{storylink|Heavy}} Megatronus subsequently fled the planet, leaving his co-conspirator to be imprisoned aboard his own [[Titan (group)|Titan]], [[Vigilem]]. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

Without Megatronus leading his tribe, his empire collapsed and his followers went their own ways; Galvatron became notable for deserting his post in Megatronus's faltering army in order to wage a personal crusade against the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]s of [[Nexus Prime]]. {{storylink|The Crucible}} {{storylink|Earthfall Chapter 3: The Mind Bomb|The Mind Bomb}} By the time that Galvatron hunted down and killed Nexus Prime, many of the remaining Primes had fled Cybertron entirely {{storylink|The Crucible}} and Megatronus had taken up residence on the barren world of [[Tsiehshi]], using its voltaic blooms to fuel his systems.

[[File:TheFirstWhoWasNamed-Megatronus.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|"I '''SMELL''' you, boy!"]]

Seeking to bring him to justice, Prima, Alpha Trion, and Onyx Prime left Cybertron to search for him aboard the Titan [[Emissary (IDW)|Emissary]]. They tracked him to Tsiehshi, where Prima and Onyx faced down the rogue Prime in a final duel; in the ensuing battle, Megatronus simply bisected Prima with his Star Saber. To ensure that the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in the sword's hilt would find its way to its [[Nova Prime|next owner]] when the time was right, however, Onyx coldly informed his student that his usefulness was at an end and murdered him, telling him that—thanks to the impending rise of Megatron—Cybertronians would, after a fashion, remember his name.

On returning to Alpha Trion, Onyx told the record-keeper the version of events that would find their way into the records of Cybertronian myth, lying that Prima had heroically slain Megatronus at the cost of his own life... a fabrication based on the stories that Shockwave had been told in his youth. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

[[File:OP18-MegatronusDead.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.5|"Who would you be without me, Prime?" "Time to find out."]]
Megatronus's name was stricken from the Cybertronian records for his crimes, and on both Cybertron and its colony worlds he was only remembered as "The Fallen." {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}} When Alpha Trion recounted the story of the war's end to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]], he was unable to elaborate on why Megatronus and Megatron shared such similar names. {{storylink|The Crucible}} He was, however, able to point out that Shockwave had sent one of his [[Regenesis]] ores, [[Ore-8]], to Tsiehshi, where Megatronus had once resided; unbeknownst to Trion, this was because "Onyx Prime" had manipulated events so that his younger self would select this planet for the Regenesis project. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

On the eve of [[Earth]]'s official induction into the [[Council of Worlds]], Alpha Trion told Optimus Prime, [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]], and [[Pyra Magna]] the story of how Megatronus's conquests had first brought the Thirteen together all those years ago. Starscream questioned if he was represented in this story by Arcee or Megatronus, believing the latter to be a made-up name. {{storylink|Origin Myths}}

When "Onyx Prime" and his tribe of [[Maximal]]s invaded Cybertron some weeks later, [[Devastator (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Devastator]], driven on by [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]]'s religious fanaticism, reached an earth-shattering epiphany: the duplicitous, backstabbing Starscream was the reincarnation of Megatronus. Initially unsure of this revelation, Starscream went with it until Shockwave, unmasked as an impostor, revealed that he had orchestrated the decidedly mortal Starscream's disastrous rise and fall from power. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 4: The Hallowing|The Hallowing}}

Long ago, Megatronus was hailed as a hero for his defeat of [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] using the [[Requiem Blaster (Megatronus)|Requiem Blaster]]. However, he and his lover [[Solus Prime]] clashed over what to do with the Blaster afterwards, as Megatronus wanted to keep it for his own rather than see it destroyed. {{storylink|The Swamp}} As the two fought, the weapon was accidentally discharged, killing Solus and leaving Megatronus to grieve. {{storylink|Without Warning}} The other Primes took back the Blaster from Megatronus, sealing it away, and he placed himself into exile until he could find a way to reunite with his deceased love. {{storylink|Athenaeum Sanctorum (episode)|Athenaeum Sanctorum}}

Many years later, Megatronus orchestrated the events of both the [[Combiner Wars (event)|Combiner Wars]] and [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]'s resurrection from behind the scenes in an attempt to claim the [[Enigma of Combination]] and the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. To this end, he recruited [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] to his cause and guided him to the [[Matrix of Conquest|Matrix of Chaos]] within Unicron's remains, promising Overlord immense power after his plan had succeeded. [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] also joined the ranks of his acolytes after Overlord used the Matrix of Chaos to turn him into Rodimus Cron. {{storylink|Volcanicus (episode)|Volcanicus}} After Trypticon's defeat, [[Victorion]] attempted to claim the Enigma and Matrix, but Megatronus surrounded them with a fiery aura, destroying part of Victorion's [[Dust Up|arm]]. He appeared before the other Transformers, warning them that their time had come to an end. [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] attempted to distract Megatronus with an angry outburst, giving [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] a chance to surprise attack him, but Megatronus brushed Maximus aside and killed Optimus. With no one else daring to challenge him, Megatronus took the two relics and departed to complete his plans. {{storylink|All Things Must Pass}}

Determined to reunite with Solus, Megatronus turned his sights towards the missing Requiem Blaster. Unsure where it might have been hidden, he began searching its most likely hiding places, burning them to the ground when left empty-handed. {{storylink|The Swamp}} In the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of Sparks]], he began gathering the sparks of Overlord's and Rodimus Cron's victims and installed the Enigma and Matrix into an device which, when combined with the Blaster, would be capable of ripping the spark from every Transformer. {{storylink|Without Warning}} Taking notice of the Blaster being fired, Megatronus rushed to the [[Athenaeum Sanctorum]], where he revealed his plan. After clashing with Megatron, [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] and a Unicron-possessed Rodimus, he grabbed the Blaster and took off to put his plan into motion. {{storylink|Consequences}}

[[File:POTP-Cartoon-Ep7-FlameOn.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"It's time for this world to end in fire, and for a new world to be born from the ashes."]]
Megatronus returned to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of Sparks]] and installed the Blaster, activating his doomsday weapon. The machine began to drain everyone's sparks as planned, causing Solus to manifest, but they were interrupted by the arrival of Megatron and his team. Refusing to lose, Megatronus shot down Windblade, but was restrained by Grimlock and Optimus Primal. However, the sight of his nearly-resurrected lover gave him the strength to break free, and he burned all the others except Megatron, who moved to protect them. Before he could finish them off, their battle was interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Rodimus Cron, now totally under Unicron's control {{storylink|Collision Course}} and determined to destroy Megatronus and Solus for being part of [[Primus]]'s Thirteen, along with the Matrix. Megatronus battled against Unicron while repeatedly having to divert his attention towards the others attacking his device. Temporarily incapacitating Unicron, Megatronus attacked the others despite Solus's pleas for him to stop, but was unable to prevent them from releasing the relics as the Matrix transformed Primal into Optimal Optimus. While Unicron attacked the new Prime, Megatronus made a grab for the Enigma and Blaster, only to be restrained by the other heroes. {{storylink|Megatronus Unleashed}} He managed to overtake them and grab the Blaster, seeking vengeance for the failure of his plans, but was caught off guard when new arrival [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] landed on him from above. The two briefly battled before Megatronus gained the upper hand and ripped off Predaking's head, and attempted to stop Megatron from destroying Solus. His lover, however, suddenly grew in size and grabbed him. Despite his pleas that his love for her was everlasting, she rebuked him and dragged him into the Well, finally killing him. {{storylink|Saga's End}}

Though [[Vector Prime]] did not necessarily think history was wrong to record Megatronus as a monster, he ''was'' his brother, and Vector still had happy memories of their time together before Megatronus's fall from grace. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/14}} During the Thirteen's time in ancient Greece in some [[universal stream]]s, the holomatter avatar that the rage-filled Megatronus used to interact with the human population inspired the myth of {{w|Ares}}. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/20}} He used to have an impressive collection of antique melee weapons before [[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]] ruined it with Cosmic Rust... at least, according to Sideways. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Sideways, 2015/07/02}}

[[Vector Prime]] noted that this was not the only reality where Megatronus was drawn to human pyramids and wondered if there was any link to [[Devil Z]]'s own affinity for pyramids and the Nazca Lines. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/30}} [[Cy-Kill (GoBots)|Cy-Kill]] would even be heard to swear by the Evil One. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Renegade Rhetoric|Renegade Rhetoric (1), 2015/10/13}}

Jealous of his brothers and sisters, Megatronus was motivated to move against his siblings, and targeted Prima's [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]], intending to take it for his own. To keep it out of his hands, [[Solus Prime]] shattered the blade with her [[Forge of Solus Prime|Forge]], and each piece was taken by one of [[Nexus Prime]]'s components and scattered across the multiverse. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/18}} {{storylink|Out of the One, Many}}

Millions of years later, when [[Vector Prime]] returned to the linear universe to deal with the [[Unicron Singularity]] crisis, he reminisced about his mission and his past, including the silhouetted form of The Fallen. {{storylink|Vector Prime: In the Beginning}} Vector's return was soon followed by the that of Nexus Prime, who set about reassembling the Star Saber. While visiting [[Primax 509.28 Epsilon|one universe]]'s Cybertron as part of his quest for the sword's fragments, Nexus decided to tell his companion [[Aquarius (SG)|Aquarius]] about his quest. As he explained the danger of the artifact falling into evil hands, the face of The Fallen flashed through his mind. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 1}}

[[File:TheFallen-ROTFwithPrimes.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.95|''Ocupado!'']]
Nineteen thousand years ago, The Fallen accompanied [[Dynasty of Primes|his brother Primes]] to [[Earth]] in an attempt to harvest the [[Sun|star]] it orbited. Just as they had completed construction of the [[Star Harvester]], however, The Fallen discovered [[Human|a primitive race of hunters]]. The Primes invoked their rule of the sanctity of life and refused to activate the harvester, but The Fallen despised the humans as simple insects and attempted to activate the Harvester. A great battle took place, but ultimately, The Fallen was defeated and the remaining Primes hid themselves and the [[Matrix of Leadership]], and The Fallen's harvester was concealed within a pyramid in [[Egypt]]. The Fallen dispatched the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seekers]] to locate the Matrix, but they proved unable and he eventually abandoned them. The Fallen became known as the first [[Decepticon]], and he became the master of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], leader of the faction. He employed Megatron in the pursuit of the [[AllSpark]], but after Megatron's defeat at [[Mission City]], the AllSpark was reduced to a mere fragment.

[[File:TheFallen-ROTFNemesis.jpg|thumb|upright=1.95]]

Upon Megatron's revival he traveled to the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', where The Fallen stayed in a life-support chair while [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] oversaw the creation of a new army of Decepticons. Prostrating himself before the Fallen, Megatron said that he had failed his master and their race by allowing the AllSpark to be destroyed. Amused by his disciple's misinformation, The Fallen revealed that the cube was merely a vessel, while the knowledge within the AllSpark was instead placed within the mind of the human who had challenged Megatron, [[Sam Witwicky]]. With the knowledge within Sam's mind, they could find the Star Harvester and the Matrix needed to activate it. Megatron asked permission to avenge himself and reclaim the AllSpark, but The Fallen asked for patience, though he could understand his desire, as The Fallen himself hungered to return to the wretched planet where his brother Primes had betrayed him. The Fallen also explained that the only threat to him was the last surviving Prime, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]]. Since Optimus would protect Sam, The Fallen ordered Megatron to capture the boy and draw out the Prime.

Megatron's mission was partially successful: although the boy escaped, Optimus came to defend him and died in the process. The Fallen sensed his death and was very pleased, knowing that the time to strike was now. When the Decepticons traveled to the Earth's surface in [[transition form|re-entry mode]]s, The Fallen accompanied them, destroying an [[USS Theodore Roosevelt|aircraft carrier]] as well as attacking several cities. As the aircraft carrier sank into the ocean, The Fallen quietly intoned that revenge was finally his. The Fallen tapped into Earth's communication network, and announced the presence of the Transformers on Earth on worldwide television, demanding the "human hive" hand over Sam or be destroyed.

[[File:ROTF Fallen headchop.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Can't. Take. Our. Sun. Unless you got buns, hon! And, oh man, he don't.]]
Unfortunately, Sam was in Egypt hunting for the [[Matrix of Leadership]] after being told it might be able to revive Optimus. He succeeded, but moments after Prime's resurrection, The Fallen appeared amongst the assorted NEST troops, scattering the soldiers, pinning Optimus and stealing the Matrix. He then teleported to the now uncovered harvester, and as he inserted the Matrix into the machine, he declared that his brothers had failed as he now claimed the Sun. While it charged, the humans attempted to destroy the harvester with their heavy weapons. Unimpressed with their display, The Fallen demonstrated his considerable power by destroying the attacking military forces with telekinesis, then raised a blockade of debris to prevent an air strike. However, a super-powered Optimus Prime, now fused with [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]], destroyed the harvester and attacked The Fallen, sending them both falling to the ground below.

Enraged, The Fallen commanded Optimus to join his brothers in death and two engaged in a fierce duel, but it quickly became apparent that Optimus was strong enough to face The Fallen. Megatron attacked Optimus in an attempt to help his master, but was quickly overpowered and knocked out. The Fallen counterattacked Optimus, managing to rip off Prime's left rocket thruster and strike him in the face with it. However, Optimus eventually managed to impale The Fallen through the shoulder with his own spear, then demanded his face, tearing it off. The Fallen tried to flee, but Optimus Prime punched through his chest and ripped out his spark core, finally killing The Fallen.

Afterwards, a wounded and horrified Megatron fled with Starscream, and the Autobots and their allies declared victory. {{Storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|The Fallen's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]," "[[Revenge of the Fallen: The Junior Novel]]" and "[[The Last Prime]]"; the "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation]]" and "[[Movie Trilogy]]" comics; and the storybooks "[[I Am Optimus Prime (ROTF)|I Am Optimus Prime]]," "[[Rise of the Decepticons]]", "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Electronic Voice Changer]]" and "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Mix & Match]]." Most of these adaptations are based on early drafts of the script and provide more backstory for The Fallen, such as his hunt for the descendants of his brother Primes, and his promise to Megatron that he would make him a Prime—something Optimus exposes as a lie during their final battle, as one can only be born a Prime, leading Megatron to abandon his teacher. In several, Optimus defeats him not by killing him, but by [[:File:TheFallen-thrownintospace.jpg|hurling him into space]].}}

According to The Fallen, he and his brothers were the first creations of the [[AllSpark]]. The planet that would become [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was mostly barren, but as the AllSpark gradually shaped Cybertron around them and gave The Fallen and his brothers power beyond measure, the cube's own power was depleted. They learned that the its power could be replenished by harvesting the energy of stars, but they were unable to locate new stars to suit their purposes, despite their amazing ability to travel between dimensions using triangular "[[sarcophagus|sarcophagi]]". {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} As he quested, The Fallen came to believe that the AllSpark was speaking to him, telling him of a grander destiny than that of his brothers, picking him as its "chosen one." {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 4|Tales of the Fallen #4}}

To aid the Dynasty of Primes in their quest, the AllSpark created for them a race of [[Transformer|workers]] that had a power of their own: the ability to transform their bodies into new forms! Some, called "[[Seeker (ROTF)|Seekers]]", could change into interstellar crafts that could locate stars for them, the energies of which would then be harvested to power the AllSpark by massive devices built by the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|other workers]]. The Dynasty tempered their search with the rule of sparing stars with inhabited worlds, but The Fallen believed that the Dynasty's compassion would ultimately doom the Cybertronians to inevitable extinction. As he sought a way to fix this problem, The Fallen came to think evil thoughts. What if there were no other Primes to share the AllSpark with? What if its power was his alone? {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}

[[File:JetfireROTF-TalesoftheFallen.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|I'm trustworthy!]]

The Fallen began to court some Transformers to his side. He selected a small number of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]] drones to do his bidding in private, ultimately in service of subverting the Dynasty of Primes in favor of his own agenda. He called this group the Decepticons. [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]], The Fallen's most trusted and capable Seeker, began to unwittingly harvest the stars of inhabited star systems; the two would scan a system together, but The Fallen would report that his search areas were devoid of life. This practice got The Fallen and Jetfire into trouble with the other Primes, and so The Fallen began to sow seeds of mistrust in Jetfire. He claimed the Primes' refusal to sacrifice life to save their own planet would be its downfall, and that an army had to be readied in case the Primes betrayed them all. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3|Tales of the Fallen #3}}

[[File:TalesoftheFallen4-theyshallpay.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Yummy, yummy, yummy, I got hate in my tummy!]]

The Fallen attempted to build a Star Harvester on his own, powered by a counterfeit [[Matrix of Leadership]] he had constructed. However, it was unstable, and the resulting explosion infused The Fallen with power he had never known. He now burned with dark, unimaginable powers from within. The Fallen, feeling a darker sense of purpose that complemented his darker powers, traveled from world to world to world, killing scores of organisms and assimilating their technology, and leaving the dry husks of planets in his wake. He evolved, and during his ascension he planned for the eventual battle with his brothers. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 4|Tales of the Fallen #4}}

As Jetfire joined the Decepticons, The Fallen took them to a planet named Earth, and they built a [[Star Harvester]] to claim the [[Sun]]. However, it, too, harbored life: The Fallen was building the harvester there to either bait his brothers into taking action (while he was prepared to kill them all) or to remain in limbo. Either way, he won! Jetfire finally turned against his master, just as the remaining Primes arrived, falling into the traitor's trap. The Fallen warped Jetfire and his other underlings away and faced his brothers alone. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3|Tales of the Fallen #3}}

[[File:TalesoftheFallen4-notlikethis.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Ever since he was a child, he was hated by triangles.]]

The battle between The Fallen and the other Primes was costly. They did not expect The Fallen to have so much power, and one by one they fell by his wretched hand. He had "expanded [his] consciousness—absorbed the mental mass of a hive intelligence seventy trillion strong, probed the neural functions of creatures that swim in unrefined thought..." Since last they met, he was "so much more" than they were. The Fallen was able to grab weapons from his stockpile through personal dimensional portals, and one by one he murdered his brothers until there was only one Prime left to oppose him. With one last desperate gamble, the final Prime fled, and he and The Fallen warped from location to location; The Fallen thought this Prime was merely stalling, but he was gravely mistaken. The final Prime had gathered up the bodies of his defeated brothers, and when at last he had collected them all and The Fallen was weak from overteleportation, he used their combined lifeforce to banish The Fallen forever. The Fallen was sent through his sarcophagus and trapped in another dimension, where he crashed into a desolate landscape, swearing revenge. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 4|Tales of the Fallen #4}}{{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

Knowledge of this was lost through the ages, and the Dynasty of Primes became little more than a myth. Thousands of years later, however, The Fallen's sarcophagus was unearthed on modern-day Cybertron and brought to the quarters of the planet's military leader Megatron. There, sensing the fury and resentment, The Fallen established contact with Megatron, filling him with a new resolve to destroy those who sought out the AllSpark. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}} In the aftermath of Megatron's ruthless battle against a band of [[Ejoornian|aliens]] seeking the AllSpark, The Fallen further counseled him to seize control of Cybertron to make way for The Fallen's return. He also told him that [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] sought the AllSpark for himself, and Megatron immediately decided that Optimus and his followers deserved to be killed for this transgression. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

[[File:Defiance4 Megatron TheFallen.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|left|All right, who changed the thermostat!?]]

But simply taking the planet would not be enough. The Fallen also ordered Megatron to build a [[Nemesis (Movie)|space cruiser]] to seek out the Matrix, which he said was a prerequisite to his return. As the ship's construction came to an end, The Fallen told Megatron the story of his origin and his plans regarding the harvester on Earth. The Fallen ordered Megatron to put his sarcophagus on the ship and then stay behind to fight Optimus's forces and safeguard the AllSpark. [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and a majority of the Decepticon soldiers crewed the ship.
Meanwhile, on Cybertron, civil war raged between Optimus's Autobots and Megatron's Decepticons, a war which eventually led to the AllSpark being launched into space. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

The ''Nemesis'' came across the AllSpark's energon signature, to Soundwave's disbelief. The Fallen began speaking to Soundwave just as a [[Ark (DOTM)|ship]] crashed into the ''Nemesis'', and disappeared once more through a portal. After landing the ship on a dead planet, Soundwave was commanded to pursue the ship via the portal—that The Fallen recognized as a [[space bridge]]—it left behind. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1}} Later, Megatron found the abandoned ''Nemesis'' during his pursuit of the AllSpark. He once again spoke with The Fallen, who was furious that Megatron had taken this detour. He ordered him to resume the chase immediately, confident that the Cube would guide them to the harvester. Megatron obeyed, leaving the sarcophagus in the barren wreckage. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}

Thousands of years later, Soundwave returned, having recovered a space bridge [[pillar]] from the Autobot ship. The Fallen informed Soundwave of Megatron's visit, and Soundwave deduced Megatron was one of the Cybertronians rumored to held captive by the humans, prompting him to return. The Fallen then used the pillar to warp space and time, leaving his prison at last... {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

====''Transformers: The Movie Universe''====
The original Transformers, all of them Primes, were united by a directive that safeguarded all life, and as such they refused to utilize the harvester on the inhabited Earth. One of their number, however, decided "I want Energon!" and slaughtered his brothers so he could harvest the Sun. He threw away his original name and became the Fallen. In the end, he slaughtered all of his brethren, but they were still able to imprison him in a pocket dimension and save the Earth. In the process, his appearance had changed to a terrifying, cage-like exostructure burning with chaotic energies from the universe's creation, forces that had purged him of all morality. Since his body was never meant to contain the unholy power flowing through it, he had to steadily vent that energy to ensure his own continued existence. This created the visual effect of a constant fiery nimbus.

While effectively harmless to the universe outside his prison, his powers remained vast: He could generate space bridges spontaneously, as well as focus his energies into discrete blasts that could unmake creation itself. Were he ever able to escape, he would be a supremely powerful danger. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe|The Movie Universe}}

The Fallen was the worst of the worst—he made Devastator look like a puppy with a bad tummy! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|#3's Contents section}}

Legend had it that the first seven Transformers were created by [[Primus]], but the Fallen believed them to be creations of the AllSpark. Their task was to harvest Energon for the AllSpark without endangering alien life, but the Fallen cared nothing for the [[Human|puny meatsacks]] of Earth and tried to harvest the Sun! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|The Fallen Profile}} His duped servant Jetfire watched in horror as the Fallen imprisoned the other six Primes! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Jetfire Profile}} However, the Primes still managed to sacrifice themselves to hide the Creation Matrix, key to the AllSpark, while the Fallen was imprisoned in a pocket dimension on one of Saturn's moons... until Megatron released him! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|The Fallen Profile}}

[[File:Titan1 FallenStarscream.jpg|upright=3|thumb|Behold my <s>resting</s> mighty hand!]]

Soon after Megatron's death in Mission City, The Fallen made contact with [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and used him to organise the Decepticon army and lay the groundwork for his return. He ordered Starscream and his forces to go to Cybertron and await further instruction, and promised that once the Matrix was found, [[Earth]] would ''burn''! Unfortunately for The Fallen, Autobot twins [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] learned the Starscream was colluding with The Fallen (though not who or what The Fallen ''was''), and headed for Earth to warn Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.1|Training Day}} The Fallen had [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] contact one of his Seekers still on the planet, [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]], and had him dispatched him to deal with the Twins. He angrily warned Starscream not to fail again, grrrr! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.2|Dogfight!}}

However, due to his imprisonment, the Fallen could only communicate with his generals and not Ransack directly, which led to Soundwave taking his own actions and working his own angles to try and find the Tomb of the Primes, which included recruiting the Twins, rather than eliminating them. In a fitting act of cosmic irony, the twins turned out to be faking their defection, and they put an end to Soundwave's treacherous scheme. Ransack intended to inform the Fallen, but evidently never made it, while Skids and Mudflap decided that, after all the trouble they had gotten in to after coming to Earth, they'd better not telling anyone about that whole "Fallen" thing they'd learned about after all. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

=====Law and Disorder=====
The Fallen suffered from iron barnacles in the folds of his armour... and if YOU were an Autobot sympathiser, you would be forced to clean them out! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|#7's Law and Disorder}}

====Toy bios====
Since even before history was recorded on Cybertron, the Fallen has lurked in the shadows, guiding the fate of his fellow machines. His is the hand in the darkness that drives the engines of fate. It was him that engineered the civil war on Cybertron and drove the Decepticons to slaughter their Autobot counterparts. Now on the primitive, flesh-slug infected planet known as Earth, he has stepped out of the shadows to finally seize the [[Star Harvester|power]] he has sought for millennia. {{storylink|The Fallen/toys#Robot Replicas|Robot Replicas The Fallen}}

For thousands of years, the Fallen has recruited proxies to scour the cosmos for the star harvester he required before returning to Earth, the very planet on which his quest began. Nothing will stand in his way this time, and he will scour the surface of this disgusting world clean in the fire of his rage and search through the blasted rubble for that which he seeks. {{storylink|The Fallen/toys#Voyager Class toys|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Voyager The Fallen}}

Aware that only a true Prime can destroy him, the Fallen has entered every battle knowing that the outcome of his victory is inevitable. Modern-day Autobots such as [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and [[Highbrow (TF 2010)|Highbrow]] stand no chance against him, for he wields the power of advanced technology that look like magic. The Fallen will crush the miserable Autobots that dare to challenge him before proceeding with his plans as if the interruption never occurred. {{storylink|The Fallen/toys#TF2010Voyager|''Hunt for the Decepticons'' Voyager The Fallen}}

As a desperate battle raged in the desert below him, the Fallen reveled in his triumph. The ancient machine with which he intends to harvest the Sun's energy would soon be uncovered and the Earth would be destroyed if he were to fin. {{storylink|The Fallen/toys#Transformers (2010)|The Victory of The Fallen}}

Vector Prime recounted the story of [[Tyran 208.28 Gamma]], an alternate timeline in which Megatron and the Decepticons triumphed in the battle of [[Mission City]], but were then trapped on the dead Cybertron by the Autobots before they managed to free The Fallen. Sensing the loss of his servants, The Fallen summoned a new army of Decepticons (including [[Blue Maximus]], [[Chopsaw]], [[Undertow (PCC)|Undertow]], and [[Duststorm (TF 2010)|Duststorm]]) to terrorize Earth!

====''The Covenant of Primus''====
[[File:MegatronusPrime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|To have a helmet as good as this will cost you your soul...and also ten cents.]]

Megatronus was the twelfth Prime created by Primus to defeat [[Unicron]]. Rightfully proud of his power and unwaveringly loyal to his creator [[Primus]], he thought of himself as a warrior first and foremost, but his dark powers and conflicted nature meant that he was rarely at peace with himself. His artifact of power—the deadly [[Requiem Blaster (Megatronus)|Requiem Blaster]]—used stellar fusion as an energy conduit, exponentially increasing his already destructive powers. Viewing himself as an outsider, he frequently butted heads with the warrior of light [[Prima]], to the point where even his closest allies among the Thirteen viewed him as an unpredictable and unstable presence. In spite of this, he struck up a close friendship with Solus Prime, which eventually blossomed into a mutual romance. Not even Solus Prime's comforting presence could rein in Megatronus' chaotic tendencies; his private insecurities and hidden fears continued to fester, and soon gave way to something darker.

The thirteen newly created Primes soon began experimenting with their powers and strategizing for the upcoming conflict. Megatronus considered himself a warrior and trained alongside Vector Prime, Prima, [[Onyx Prime]], and [[Amalgamous Prime|Amalgamous]]. Megatronus, having the closest connection to Unicron, offered advice to Solus Prime on how to create the best weapons to defeat the chaos-bringer. Among their collaborative efforts were [[Dark Energon skin]]s, which would protect the Primes from the toxic [[Dark Energon]]. Megatronus eventually requested that a blaster be made for him by Solus Prime. She reluctantly agreed, and the Requiem Blaster was forged. Solus had doubts about the weapon, but her deep faith in Megatronus was what allowed her to trust him with the Blaster.

[[File:COP-Megatronusshootssolus.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|left|"How could this happen? We started out like Romeo and Juliet but it ended up in tragedy!"]]

When the fight against Unicron came, Megatronus fought alongside his siblings, and was ultimately triumphant. However, some of Unicron's darkness had rubbed off on all of them; a fact that Megatronus strangely appeared to revel in. In the era of peace and rebuilding that followed, Megatrous worked alongside [[Liege Maximo]], [[Micronus Prime]], and Amalgmous Prime, refining [[Energon]] for future use. He slowly befriended more of the Thirteen, although his love for Solus Prime never faded.

Unfortunately, this period of peace was not to last. Megatronus and Solus Prime were both being manipulated by Liege Maximo, who managed to drive a schism between the two lovers. Megatronus confronted Solus Prime over a newly created suit of armor intended for Maximo's "farm". Their disagreement eventually grew into a full-fledged fight after Megatronus killed her pet, which had secretly been recording Solus Prime's actions. In the chaos, Megatronus fired the Requiem Blaster without thinking, fatally wounding Solus Prime. Before Solus passed away, however, she professed her love for him.

Megatronus hid himself away in the untamed regions of Cybertron, until the surviving Primes discovered him. Megatronus confessed his crime, but also accused Maximo of setting up the whole plot, and aimed to kill him once and for all. The accusations flew quickly, and before long the argument descended into a free-for-all. In the aftermath, Liege Maximo was apparently blown apart by a shot from the Requiem Blaster, although [[Alpha Trion (WFC)|Alpha Trion]] could not identify just who had fired the weapon. Along with the surviving Primes, a repentant Megatronus attended Solus's funeral. Renaming himself "the Fallen", he donned Solus Prime's suit of armor and went into exile in space, never to be seen again.

Eons later, a young gladiator and social rhetorician named [[Megatron (WFC)|D-16]] took inspiration from ancient folk tales, renaming himself "Megatronus". {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

====Aligned novels====
Megatronus conceived the idea of the [[Requiem Blaster (Megatronus)|Requiem Blaster]], a weapon so powerful that it dwarfed all other weapons in existence. With great reluctance, Solus Prime agreed to forge the weapon for Megatronus, and even then only after Megatronus convinced other members of the Thirteen to petition her on his behalf as well. Even after the weapon was completed, Solus Prime showed great reluctance in allowing it to remain in existence. After demonstrating its awesome power to the Thirteen, she asked for a vote as to whether the Requiem Blaster should be destroyed. Megatronus led the group who voted in favor of retaining the Blaster, and they won by the slimmest of margins, 7-to-6.

At some later date, Megatronus killed Solus Prime in a fit of rage, and became the Fallen, forever more. The reason for the murder is not fully known at this point, although Solus did favor [[Nexus Prime]] over others in the Thirteen, a fact that had stirred jealousy in Megatronus in the past. Though a terrible thing, Vector Prime considered the Fallen lashing out in a moment of anger forgivable over Liege Maximo's active plotting. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}

Megatron, who took his name to inspire fear, took a favorable view of the Fallen, considering him the one member of the Thirteen who refused to bow down to the others, and the only Prime who sought his own destiny. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

In the distant past, Megatronus killed Solus Prime. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 2}} He was eventually imprisoned in another dimension, and held both [[Earth]] and Cybertron responsible for his defeat. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}} He maintained a degree of agency over the events in this world, and he was able to influence events so that the prison ship ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' crash-landed on Earth, releasing its cargo of [[Decepticon]] convicts in the process. From there, Megatronus bided his time. Eventually, he contacted the Decepticon revolutionary [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]], who had just suffered a humiliating rout at the hands of [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]'s [[Autobot]]s. Introducing himself as "the first Decepticon", Megatronus struck a bargain with Steeljaw: if Steeljaw helped free him from his prison, Megatronus would let Steeljaw and his gang have the Earth. Steeljaw reluctantly agreed. {{storylink|Lockout}}

[[File:RID-Megatronus.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|caption|Kitty ears of DOOM.]]

Megatronus interrupted Steeljaw while the latter was scheming, demanding to know if they had made progress on the device that would allow him to escape. Steeljaw retorted that he needed more Decepticons to help him with the task, but Megatronus was less than moved, using his telekinetic powers to make [[Clampdown (RID)|Clampdown]] pull on his arm hard until Steeljaw capitulated. Megatronus informed his new servant that the device would require a mass of sufficient metal to anchor the energies generated by his arrival- namely, the [[Crown City Colossus]]. Although the Autobots, accompanied with a reborn [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], attempted to intervene, their efforts weren't enough to stop Steeljaw from activating the portal. A triumphant Megatronus materialized, ready to carry out his plan. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}}

[[File:Battlegrounds2-Megatronus.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|"I'll show you the dark side." "You may try, but you cannot deny the truth that is your family." "You're so right.".]]

Megatronus moved to attack the weakened Autobots, but was intercepted by Optimus, and the two began dueling. Megatronus gained the upper hand and managed to slash at Optimus, knocking him into the water and temporarily taking him out of the fight. Megatronus retieved his fallen [[Spark fuser]] and activated it, intending to draw the remnants of [[Unicron]]'s anti-[[spark]] from the Earth's core and merge it with the AllSpark, destroying both Earth and Cybertron. When Steeljaw realized this, Megatronus retorted that the had never technically lied to him about his right to own Earth... or whatever would be left of it. Megatronus restrained the furious Steeljaw with his telekinesis and opened a rift in the sky.

[[File:RID-megatronustank.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Megatronus deploys his dreaded drill-nipples.]]

Fighting Steeljaw distracted Megatronus long enough for Bumblebee to resuscitate Optimus, and the two Autobot leaders moved in to finish him off after Megatronus hurled Steeljaw away. While Optimus once again dueled with Megatronus, Bumblebee, [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]], and [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] used their [[Decepticon Hunter]]s to power themselves up. Optimus managed to shatter Megatronus's Spark fuser, closing the rift and ruining his plan. Furious, Megatronus redoubled his attack. [[Drift (RID)|Drift]] helped to drop part of the Colossus on Megatronus. The weight of the statue was enough that Bumblebee's team could blast him with a sustained burst of energy, disintegrating his body and seemingly destroying him, though Bumblebee questioned if he truly was destroyed. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 2}}

With Optimus Prime seemingly defeated, The Fallen and the Decepticons journeyed to Egypt, where he uncovered the Star Harvester from inside the Great Pyramid of Giza and commenced his plans to destroy the Sun. However, the last of the Primes had survived his battle with Megatron and now revealed to the enraged Decepticon leader that The Fallen had betrayed him. The Fallen's promise to Megatron that he would make his student a Prime would never be fulfilled, as Primes were born, not made. Megatron demanded what he had been promised, but the Fallen, disgusted with the creature that he no longer needed, attacked. Righteous indignation fueled Megatron through this battle, and ultimately, he ended The Fallen's mastery over the Decepticons by impaling him through his head and letting the corpse fall into the depths of the Star Harvester. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

Optimus Prime had survived his battle with Megatron and merged with the parts of Jetfire, and now this new, powered-up form faced the might of The Fallen at the Great Pyramid. Optimus's ancestor mocked this young upstart who dared to face his elder, telekinetically throwing debris at the Autobot, summoning great bursts of energy from the ground, and unleashing an army of Decepticon drones. However, Optimus Prime's new armour more than enabled him to survive this onslaught, and as he rained energy slugs into The Fallen, the ancient Cybertronian called out to Megatron for help, but to no avail, for his student had since learned of The Fallen's treachery. Optimus ended The Fallen's reign of terror by impaling him through his head and letting the corpse fall into the depths of the Star Harvester. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

==Notes==
===Generation 1===
[[File:Fallenpatlee.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|I'm The Fallen, and I can't get up!]]
*The Fallen was created by [[Simon Furman]] for [[Dreamwave Productions]]' ''[[Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages|War Within: The Dark Ages]]'' comic book. Furman used him to recycle some of the plans he had for the [[Last Autobot]] in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|original Marvel comic]], but which he was unable to use as a result of the comic's cancellation.<ref>[http://www.camphortree.net/tf/tidbits/otfcc2004.txt OTFCC 2004 convention report]</ref>
*The Fallen design was created by [[Pat Lee]], his first (and only) original Transformers character. The early design concept differed incredibly from the final product, noticeably lacking The Fallen's characteristic mouthplate. He was envisioned as a medieval, ancient-looking Transformer who glowed like a furnace, but he was not depicted as being perpetually on fire until [[Andrew Wildman]] penciled his appearances in ''The Dark Ages'' and the colorists caught on. When questioned about him constantly being aflame, Furman responded that they went with it "because it looks cool."
[[File:Thefallentank.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|The Judasmobile.]]
*Though Lee designed a tank alternate mode for The Fallen, which was shown in the profile series ''[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]'', it was never used in-fiction. Similarly, The Fallen is said to have ''no'' alternate mode in IDW's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comics, and he does not actually transform in the film or the ''Prime Wars Trilogy'' cartoons.
*Very little of The Fallen's backstory was given in his first fictional appearances, leaving much of ''The Dark Ages'' somewhat confusing on its own. Helpful inserts from ''More Than Meets The Eye'' and Dorling Kindersley's ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]'', published around the same time, spelled out more. Eventually, the packaging profile printed on his Titanium figure gave the rest. Oh, and then years later, he was the titular villain of a summer blockbuster film.
*The proper treatment of his name, with its capital-T "The", is established both in the comics and the ''Ultimate Guide''. The one dissenting source is his on-package [[bio]], which simply calls him "'''Fallen'''" (as in, "'''Fallen''' forgot his real name long ago"). The reason for this awkward treatment is unknown, though the usual culprits behind toy-name oddities—[[trademark]] issues—are suspected.
*The Fallen can speak Spanish.<ref>Fanclub-exclusive Mini Mayhem strip, March 19, 2007</ref>
[[File:TFGenerations2014 Rejected TheFallen.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85]]
*The Fallen's appearance in the ''Train Wars'' manga is based on a mock-up created for a poll in ''[[Transformers Generations 2014]]'' Vol. 1, one of ten potential exclusives for Vol. 2. A redeco of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Onslaught (WFC)#Generations|Onslaught]], it would have featured the [[Ruination (FOC)|Ruination]] head in combiner mode, but ultimately only claimed 5% of the votes.<ref>[http://millionhero.sblo.jp/article/101898683.html Poll results at Hero-X]</ref>
*In the [[2005 IDW continuity]], Megatronus's design is based on [[Megatron (Movie)|the live-action incarnation of Megatron]].
*Megatronus was again redesigned for the ''Prime Wars Trilogy'' cartoons, amalgamating elements of his incarnations from the Aligned continuity (enlarged shoulders, fusion cannons), ''Revenge of the Fallen'' (glowing red accents, an Egyptian-crown-like head) and Dreamwave (his blocky shape, lots of fire). This design would reappear in ''Forged to Fight'', which also revealed his alternate mode to be a Cybertronian jet like his movie counterpart.

===''Revenge of the Fallen''===
*Michael Bay attempted to hide The Fallen's involvement in ''Revenge of the Fallen'', going so far as to claim that statements made by Simon Furman at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2008<ref>[http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=17412 Simon Furman confirms The Fallen is a character in an interview with Comic Book Resources (Fallen details removed)]</ref> and [[Chris Mowry]] in an interview with MTV Splash Page <ref>[http://splashpage.mtv.com/2008/07/28/exclusive-transformers-2-prequel-comic-gives-inside-scoop-on-2009-movie/ MTV Splash Page interviews Chris Mowry (Fallen details removed)]</ref> were part of a disinformation campaign, and that only a small number of people had seen the script.<ref>[http://www.shootfortheedit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=44729&postcount=2 A post made by Michael Bay on his forum]</ref> On August 5, 2008, after a fan posted on Michael Bay's forum pointing out that several IDW representatives had said they had the script, all references to The Fallen were removed from the aforementioned interviews, as well as any references to IDW Publishing having the script.
*Voice actor [[James Arnold Taylor]] was originally cast as The Fallen in the film version of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' (which led to him getting the same role in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|Revenge of the Fallen: The Game]]''), but was replaced by [[Tony Todd]] in the final edit of the film, to his disappointment. [[Leonard Nimoy]] was also considered for the role, but did not get it on the basis Bay feared Nimoy would have been paid too little money.{{fact}}
[[File:TheFallen-ROTFstaff.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Give him the stick! Don't give him the stick!]]
*The Fallen's "Command Staff" (also known as the "[[Void Scepter]]"<ref>[http://www2.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/characters/the-fallen The Fallen's bio at Hasbro.com]</ref>) seemed to be a later addition to the film, as the staff made no appearances in secondary fiction and was not included with The Fallen's original toy releases. The later Voyager class figure includes said staff, and the toy's hands were retooled to be able to hold it.
*[[Paul Ozzimo]] and [[Josh Nizzi]] designed Earth modes for The Fallen to take on in ''Revenge of the Fallen'', but like many of the Decepticons he does not assume one in the finished film. Ozzimo clarified on his website he was to turn into an {{w|Aurora (aircraft)|Aurora}} stealth bomber, the alleged modern replacement for the [[Jetfire (Movie)|SR-71 Blackbird]].
*Various on-package [[Hasbro]] [[bio]]s for the Fallen in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline utilize the derogatory term "flesh slugs" for humanity; the term originally appeared in the same manner in the 1980s ''[[Inhumanoids]]'' cartoon, based on another toyline by Hasbro.
*The Fallen was originally going to be ''huge'' in ''Revenge of the Fallen'': the novelization describes him as making Optimus look like an infant, and ''Defiance'' issue 4 depicts him as about the size of a pyramid. In the finished film, Fallen is only slightly bigger than Optimus and Megatron, and ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe]]'' clarifies he is 42 feet tall.
*Michael Bay doesn't actually like the Fallen, calling him "kind of a (expletive) character".<ref>[http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2010-06-11-Transformers11_ST_N.htm?csp=usat.me USA Today, "Next 'Transformers' is due for a switch"]</ref>
*In early drafts of ''Revenge of the Fallen'', the Fallen doesn't appear in person until the climax, communicating with Megatron aboard the ''Nemesis'' via an interdimensional window. This led to the [[sarcophagus]] storyline in the comics, where only discovering the harvester's location would free him. When dropped from the film to give the character more screentime, it led to a massive plot hole in the comic storyline that was only resolved two years later by [[John Barber]] in ''[[Transformers: Convergence|Convergence]]''.

===Aligned===
*Until the ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon introduced Megatronus as the "first Decepticon" (an idea taken from the live-action Fallen), the Aligned version of the character had no direct connection to the Decepticons in his backstory. He has, however, always had a helmet shaped like their insignia, an idea that also comes from the live-action film character.
*Megatronus's cartoon robot mode is a mishmash of his prior incarnations. He has the general blockiness and tank vehicle mode from the ''[[War Within (comic)|War Within]]'' comics, and his four-lined visor resembles the slots on that Fallen's faceplate. In addition to his status as "the first Decepticon" and his Decepticon-insignia-shaped helmet, he also features the movie character's telekinetic powers and similar forearm [[kibble]], though said kibble is actually put to use as [[fusion cannon]]-like arm weapons.
*Despite not appearing again after the first-season finale of ''Robots in Disguise'', [[Adam Beechen]] stated in a deleted blog that he survived his apparent destruction but left his fate beyond that in the air.

===Fun Publications===
*The Evil One being an incarnation of The Fallen was inspired by [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=The_Fallen&oldid=685238 an edit] of this very page back in 2012 noting the similarity. Although removed soon afterwards, it eventually became canon a few years later.<ref>[https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/129168-out-of-printhard-to-find-media-mega-thread/page-9#entry3440904 Post by Verity Carlo on the Allspark Forums, 2017/02/12]</ref>

Hoo hey, [[Starscream (Movie)|'''Starscream''']] has a metric buttload of toys! That's 1.1 American buttloads!

==Toys==
===''Transformers'' (2007)===
====Legends Class toys====
[[File:Movie Legends Starscream.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|A gold paint job can't hide the lameness.]]
*'''Starscream''' (Legends Class, [[2007]])

: Legends-class Starscream is a highly simplified, low-cost version of Starscream in his F-22 Raptor body. As such, he has a greatly compromised transformation sequence due to the smaller parts count, with limited articulation and detailing. He's also the bronzest F-22 Raptor Starscream toy there is.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]].

*'''Battle for the Allspark''' (Toys'R'Us exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

: A Toys"R"Us exclusive, this six-pack of Legends class figures contains unmodified toys of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#BftAS|Optimus Prime]], [[Jazz (Movie)#TRULegendsPack|Jazz]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BftAS|Bumblebee]], [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#BftAS|Megatron]], Starscream, and [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#BftAS|Barricade]].

*'''Nightwatch Optimus Prime vs. Stealth Starscream''' (Legends Class Allspark Battles two-pack, [[2008]])

: The previously released Legends-class Starscream toy is redecoed predominantly black and silver, somewhat resembling ''Generation 1'' [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]. Oddly enough, the paint applications are identical to the regular toy. He comes with a redeco Legends-class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] in his Nightwatch color scheme.

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[File:MovieProtoform Starscream toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Gold Plastic Syndrome. We totally called it..]]
*'''Protoform Starscream''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''MD-05'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun with missile and flame attachment

:Based upon the "Protoform" (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the movie, Protoform Starscream transforms into his "entry" mode Cybertronic rocket thing. This mode somewhat resembles a Cybertronic spaceship, with a visible bridge between the two dorsal fins. A flame decoration piece fits onto the back of the "vehicle" over the missile projectile, creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail . The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. In robot mode, Starscream marginally resembles previous Starscreams, mostly G1 Starscream, with the large turbines on his chest, wings and vents on his legs. Due to his extensive use of ball joints, he has excellent articulation.

:Starscream is armed with a spring-loaded missile launcher that fires the previously mentioned projectile cast in the same bronze color as his body. Alternatively, the flame decoration can be fitted onto the end of the barrel. The flame can also be placed onto the missile, using both at once. However, in some cases, the flame does not have a snug fit on the missile and falls off easily. This makes firing the missile rather awkward and makes the gun look extremely goofy.

[[File:ProtoformStarscreamProto.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Brought down from second place. (''stock photos pictured'')]]
:This toy also has an [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature, as most of the figures in the main line do. Pushing his head back during transformation will move his shoulder pieces back into place, while moving the shoulders forward will make the head pop back up.

: It has been reported that this figure can suffer from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome|GPS]], as the bronze plastic it is cast in has the same characteristic swirling exhibited by older figures that rapidly deteriorated. The gold plastic tends to get especially brittle on the hinges that attach the two small wings to his legs. The plastic that houses the joints is somewhat thin and will give way over time. It is highly suggested that this toy not be painted or altered in any way to maximize its lifespan.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/395208-gold-plastic-syndrome-2007-movie-protoform-starscream.html TFW2005 survey of GPS in Protoform Starscream figures]</ref> Thankfully, to date, this is so far one of the last recorded instances of GPS, meaning Hasbro has most likely caught on and stopped using this type of gold plastic.

: The card back [[Stock photography|stock photo]] of Protoform Starscream features a completely different deco, with silver replacing all the bronze. It also has a different, earlier head sculpt. (See [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Notes|Notes]] below)

*'''Protoform Starscream Fusion Cluster Edition''' (C3xHobby Convention exclusive Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Gun with missile and flame attachment

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

{{-}}{{anchor|LuckyDrawProtoform}}

:This gold [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] Protoform Starscream figure was featured as a [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] giveaway (alongside similarly gold vac-metal versions of Voyager class Optimus Prime and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#LuckyDrawProtoform|Protoform Optimus Prime]]) in the December 2007 issue of ''TV Magazine''. Released in 2008, only 5 pieces were made.

====Voyager Class toys====
[[File:TF07-Starscream.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Shake hands with danger.]]
*'''Starscream''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''MD-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Six missiles

: The Voyager-class version of Movie Starscream transforms into an officially-licensed {{w|F-22|Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor fighter jet}}, and is based on concept artwork for the film, complete with his biege coloration, and bulkier proportions.<ref>[https://news.tfw2005.com/2007/02/03/transformers-movie-starscream-cgi-design-images-first-look-122315 2007 Concept artwork for Starscream]</ref>.

: Pushing the fighter along a smooth surface causes the missile-launching barrels to rotate and fire their projectiles, which can also be stored in the black flip-up braces on the launchers. This gimmick doesn't always work very well. If the toy's gears are not perfecty aligned during assembly, the spinning cannons can be stopped by the firing tab or rotate right past it without even firing. Many samples don't even rotate at all!{{fact}} During transformation, pushing up upon the canopy fuselage piece activates Starscream's [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmick, which pushes panels out of the torso, wings and stabilizers. In robot mode, Starscream is ''almost'' faithful to his movie CGI model and aforementioned concept artwork, except he lacks the engines on his back and has large Gatling cannons that serve as his arms, with the missiles sculpted to resemble fingers.

: This toy was later [[retool]]ed and [[redeco]]ed into Movie [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]], ROTF [[Ramjet (Movie)|Ramjet]], and ROTF [[Skywarp (Movie)|Skywarp]].

**''Accessories:'' Six missiles

: An extensive redeco of Voyager class Starscream available only as a Target [[exclusive]], this version is [[redeco]]ed in a color scheme based upon ''[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. This version of Starscream shares the retooled version of this mold with Movie Thundercracker, giving Starscream a new, vaguely G1-ish head sculpt. The packaging for this toy explains that Starscream altered his appearance following his escape at the end of the film in order to avoid detection.

*'''Starscream Vardia Red Model''' (Toshiba exclusive Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Six missiles

: In a joint venture by Paramount Home Entertainment Japan and electronics giant {{w|Toshiba}}, Starscream Vardia Red Model is an exclusive redeco of Voyager Starscream only available with Toshiba's new ''Vardia'' RD-A301 HD DVD recorder. The package also comes with an HD-DVD copy of ''Transformers'', five HD DVD-R and five DVD-R discs.

:Starscream Vardia Red Model is '''extremely''' red, with some gold, a little black and Toshiba ''Vardia'' markings on his hull. With the player costing 100,000 yen (over $900 USD) at the time, this may be the most expensive ''Transformers'' exclusive to be released in relatively large quantities.

*'''Deep Space Starscream''' (Target exclusive "Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Six missiles

:A Target exclusive, Deep Space Starscream is a redeco of the first version of Voyager class Starscream, based upon the colours used by [[Industrial Light & Magic]] on Starscream's CGI model (instead of the concept artwork's biege coloration used on the previous release). As such he is metallic silver with complementary greys in fighter mode, including the 'First Fighter' (FF) squadron markings indicating he is an F-22 Raptor from {{w|Langley Air Force Base}}. In robot mode reveals gold paint inside his chest detailing and red for circuitry detailing. His eyes are painted film-accurate red, but the rest of the [[Light-piping]] that makes up the back of his head is left uncolored, making the glowing eye effect no longer work while STILL retaining the miscolored bronzed glass color that the clear plastic was molded in. If one wanted to restore the light piping, though, the paint is fairly easy to remove.

: Deep Space Starscream is presented in 'Premium Octagonal' packaging very similar to Robo-Vision Optimus Prime. Even though Hasbro officially considers him as part of the Premium Series, this is not indicated anywhere on the packaging. This toy was given a European mass retail release in 2009.

====''Fast Action Battlers''====
[[Image:Movie FAB Starscream.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|You are the Dragon Booster Artha!]]
*'''Battle Blade Starscream''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''QC-02'''

: [[Fast Action Battlers]] "Battle Blade" Starscream transforms into a somewhat superdeformed F-22 Raptor, simplifying the overall design to the point of his feet noticeably sticking out the aft of the fighter, and has a truncated transformation sequence reminiscent of past Transformers such as ''Generation 1'' [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and ''Cybertron'' [[Thundercracker (Armada)|Thundercracker]]. Rather than having a separate weapon, he only has a claw-like blade that flips over the right hand (hence "Battle Blade") and non-removable missiles in the palms of his hands.

: The rubber lower legs of this toy were known for getting bent into odd positions and hardening in those positions if left that way for too long, to the point where people break the upper legs attempting too "fix" the bend of the lower legs.

: This toy was later redecoed as [[Ramjet (Movie)|Claw Slash Ramjet]].

: There is a Korean [[Knockoff|fake]] of this model going around, under the name of "Latent Spider". Fortunately no real spiders have been found latent inside the toy.

====Red Rooster====
*'''Starscream''' (Little Red Rooster Meal, 2007)

:One of five toys that was available at Red Rooster, an Australian based fast food chain. This kids meal toy is a black F-22 Raptor with a silver canopy that transforms by simply flipping the jet around to reveal the gray robot mode underneath, pulling down the landing gear and legs, and standing him upright.

*'''Starscream''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-04'''

:Legends class Starscream is a redeco of [[#Legends Class toys|2007's Legends class Starscream]], the main difference being a mostly single main colour scheme (compared to 2007's rather random colour choices) and the ''Revenge of the Fallen''-specific Cyberglyph tattoos.

:For some odd reason, his card back depicts how to transform him from his alt-mode to his robot mode; as all Legends are packaged in robot mode, wouldn't robot-to-vehicle work better?

:In Malaysia, this toy was also one of the four Legends Class figures to be released as promotional merchandise for the Petronas Gas Station. He can be obtained starting from the 5th of July, via RM30 ($7.04) worth of gas or RM15 ($3.52) worth of foods and items in the Mesra Shop.

*'''Starscream''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-02'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager class Starscream is far more accurate to the movie model in both modes than the previous movie's Voyager mold, with a more dramatic [[Transformation|transformation scheme]] to boot.

:In robot mode, Starscream has two arm-mounted, spring loaded missile launchers sculpted to resemble his {{w|M61 Vulcan|M61A2 Vulcan 20 mm rotary cannons}}. These weapons end up underneath and facing backwards in vehicle mode. He also has a [[Mech Alive]] gimmick, which is linked between his head and chest; when you turn his head, the gears in his chest spin.

:He has amber light piping for his eyes, but they've been painted over in red.

[[Image:ROTFtoy-StarscreamVoyager-popoutlaunchers.jpg|left|thumb|150px|I had more joints!]]

:According to the stock photos of the hand-painted [[prototype]] (seen at left), Starscream's hands originally had a joint down the middle of his palms, possibly to facilitate in hiding them in fighter mode. His arm-mounted cannons were also originally separate parts from his forearms, jointed to move back and forth, again possibly to hide them in fighter mode. However this was [[design change|changed]] for the final toy, with the hands now molded as one piece and unable to be hidden in vehicle mode, and his cannons' details (including the joints) simply molded directly onto his arms. His knee caps were also originally a separate movable piece and not joined to his upper leg. It is assumed that all this was done for cost cutting. His packaging call-outs (excepting Europe) still claim that he has "pop out missile launchers," despite this gimmick's removal. The toy's [[instructions]] include a superfluous "flip down hands" step, and depict the missile launchers extended with partially-folded hands when describing the missile-launch action.

: Sword Slash Starscream is a redeco of the 2007 Battle Blade Starscream, with the plane parts colored gray and covered in cyberglyphics and the robot parts colored bronze. His flip-out blade is now purple. There is a common version of this toy that omits the bronze paint, leaving the robot parts a mix of gray and darker gray. He also has the rubberized lower legs of the original that harden into bowlegged shapes with age.

====''Gravity Bots''====
[[Image:ROTF GravityBots Starscream.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Some toys have hands or maybe a head sticking out of their alternate modes, but Starscream has WHOLE LEGS.]]
*'''Starscream''' (Gravity Bot, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GB-03'''

: As a [[Gravity Bot]], this Starscream features no articulation at all, but relies wholly on a gravity-based [[autotransformation]] gimmick. When laid down on a flat surface, Starscream will transform into a [[super deformed]] F-22, while standing him on his feet again will switch him to robot mode. His cockpit is now a metallic blue instead of the amber/orange.

: His unique aircraft mode (compared to the line's land-based vehicles) gives him a unique transformation, with his wings folding inward and revealing his arms, and the cockpit rotating, flipping down, and revealing his head. Quite awesomely as a result, he is the only Gravity Bot ''not'' to use [[Kibble#.22Faux-parts.22|fake kibble]] for his chest. Go Starscream!

[[Image:ROTF-toy leader Starscream.jpg|right|400px|thumb|"NO ONE DEFEATS [[Bill Rawley|BILL RAAAWLEY]]"]]
*'''Starscream''' (Leader, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Cannon, 2 Missiles

:Like the various figures released earlier, Leader Class Starscream transforms into an officially licensed Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor fighter jet, decoed in a gunmetal-like gray and covered in Cybertronian tattoos to more accurately reflect his on-screen appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' than his Voyager Class toys. In robot mode, either of Starscream's hands can fold down to accommodate a spring-loaded cannon that fires one of two included projectiles; both missiles and the cannon can be stored via pegs on his back. When the fins on the missiles are lined up with the slot on Starscream's wrist, the missiles can also attach to his hands using the same holes as the missile launcher. In Raptor mode, the launcher stores in a space on the underside, and can be flipped out to fire his missiles from underneath. Starscream also features two flip-out, non-firing weapons on his forearms: a cannon resembling an M61 Vulcan on the right, and two generic missiles on the left.

:Starscream's primary gimmick in this size is the addition of electronic lights and sounds. Pulling down on his canopy in robot mode opens chest panels and his mouth and produces one of two phrases: "Decepticons will crush the Autobots!" and "No one can defeat Starscream!" in the version released in the United States, and simply "Decepticons!" and "Starscream!" in the version released in rest of the world, including most of the version released in Canada, Mexico, and Latin America. Additionally, the canopy activates LEDs which light up Starscream's clear, red eyes and various other portions of clear, amber plastic in his chest. During transformation, a button is activated, causing the toy to play a four-note version of [[Transformation#The noise|the transformation noise]]. In Raptor mode, Starscream's lights and sounds are activated by a Decepticon sigil-covered button on the top of the jet. In addition to lighting the canopy and turbines, this button plays two sounds: either generic jet engine noises or Starscream's voice saying either "No one can defeat Starscream!" (US) or simply "Starscream!" (International).

:An important step was left out of the instructions concerning how to transform Starscream to robot mode. A flap attaches from the fuselage to the cockpit section. To disconnect this part, the cockpit window has to be lifted using notches on the side. Otherwise, you cannot flip the front of the jet forward.

:[[Activators]] Starscream is a small toy with cutesified proportions in both robot and F-22 modes. His transformation is greatly simplified, with most of the jet parts just hanging off his back in robot mode. Like all Activators, Starscream features button-activated [[autotransformation]] from jet to robot. While the card's photography shows Starscream as having rolling wheels for landing gear, the final has the landing gear molded in one piece with the legs, probably due to budget cuts.

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece#Live-action movie series|Movie Masterpiece]]'' Starscream is a redeco of Leader Class ''Transformers'' (2010) Starscream without the Cybertronian glyphs on his body, and instead has an extensive, detailed paint scheme that matches his appearance in the [[Transformers (film)|first live action movie]] and the F-22 Raptors of the [[United States Air Force|USAF]] First Fighter Wing from {{w|Langley Air Force Base}}. Starscream comes with a mini-comic by [[Simon Furman]] and [[Guido Guidi]], titled ''[[Unite for the Universe issue 1|Unite for the Universe]]''.

**''ID number:'' '''MPM-10'''
**''TakaraTomy release date:'' '''[[October 31]], [[2020]]'''
**''Accessories:'' "Missile Arm Attachment", "Saw Attachment", "Gatling Blaster"

:Exclusive to [[Target]] stores in the US, MPM-10 (or MPM-X) Starscream is based on his appearance in the [[Transformers (film)|first live action film]], and is more [[Show-accuracy|accurate]] than his original MPM toy. The toy includes a much greater amount of articulation (totaling over 50 points), including individually articulated fingers, wings, thrusters, and a moving jaw. The 11-inch tall robot transforms into an officially licensed Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor Jet in 63 steps and includes [[die-cast]] parts, as well as over 150 paint applications. He includes his "Missile Arm Attachment", "Saw Attachment", and "Gatling Blaster", the former two of which peg into his wrists much like the ''Transformers (2010)'' toy, as well as slide into slots on his forearms for increased accuracy and stability.

:Unfortunately, the figure features a missassembly in which the feet are swapped, positioning the circular detail on the outside rather than the inside, which slightly decreases his stability. The stock photography shows the correct assembly which matches the CGI model.

:A brand-new [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Legion-class mold, Starscream comes with an [[Orbital Assault Carrier|“Assault Craft”]] similar to the kind the Decepticons use in the film. Starscream himself is much more movie-accurate, better proportioned, and well articulated, capable of rotating his thighs, bending his arms, and raising his shoulders.

:Like the previous movie's Voyager figure, Starscream's hands stick out of the back of the vehicle mode. Also, while landing gear is molded on both the undercarriage and the nose of the jet, the odd layout of robot parts in vehicle mode means they can't all rest on a flat surface at once.

**''Accessories:'' Gun

:[[Exclusive]] to [[Toys"R"Us]], this four pack contains two Bumblebee and two Starscream Cyberverse Legion toys. Cybertronian Starscream is a redeco of [[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'']] [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] [[Starscream (Armada)#LOC|Starscream]], while the other Starscream is a paint-heavy redeco and retool of the 2007 [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|''Transformers'']] Legends Class toy, partially cast in translucent plastic and painted with grid lines, presumably to simulate a [[trans-scan]] effect. This Starscream also comes with a redecoed version of ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' [[R-Blade]]'s [[R-Blade#Robotmasters|gun]], which can be held in his newly retooled left hand.

:The Starscreams come packed with a retool of [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'']] Legends Class [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Bumblebee]] and a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Bumblebee]].

: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.

:Interestingly, his airbrushed [[packaging]] stock photography depicts him as lacking the retooled hand, while the regular stock photo to the right is flipped, showing him wielding his weapon with his right hand, instead of his left. Even more interestingly, his back wings are [[Misassembly|swapped]].

: The Cybertronian Starscream mold was also used to make ''Cybertron'' [[Ramjet (Universe)#Cybertron|Ramjet]], [[Skywarp (Armada)#Cybertron|Skywarp]], and [[Sunstorm (Universe)#Cybertron|Sunstorm]], ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Ramjet (G1)#Classic Series|Ramjet]] and [[Thrust (G1)#Classic Series|Thrust]], and ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' [[Starscream (WFC)#War for Cybertron|Starscream]].

[[File:EZ-Collection-Starscream-Keroro-Ver.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Starscream's attempts to blend in with the Keronian society.]]
*'''Starscream Keroro Ver.''' (Legends, 2012)
: This green and yellow redeco of ''Movie'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] [[#Legends Class toys|Starscream]] was available free with the December 2011 edition of ''[[Kerokero Ace]]'' magazine, in which the "[[Keroro Gunsō × Transformers]]" comic was published. He came in a cardboard box attached to the magazine with a rubber band, which also contained the magazine's other free gift, a game mat for the ''Battle Spirits'' card game. Though identified as "Starscream Keroro Ver." on the box, which makes it sound like the toy is of Starscream himself, the figure is called "Keroroscream" in various places in the magazine itself, reflecting the events of the comic strip, in which it's a transformed [[Keroro]].

:In lieu of paint—save for his two red optics and golden cockpit—Keroroscream comes with a large sheet of stickers (bound inside the magazine), which allows buyers to kit him out with one of three optional decos: one set features a red and black "hotrod" flame design; a second offers fanservice-y shots of the female members of the ''Keroro Gunsō'' cast in swimsuits; and a third featuring Keroro's fellow platoon members, with Keroro's distinctive winking eyes on the figure's chest. The third set lacks dedicated stickers for the figure's wings; in their place, a blank set of wing stickers is included that buyers could draw their own designs on as part of a contest to win ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' toys. Of course, if you want, you can mix and match these three sets to your heart's content.

*'''Starscream''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD02'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 MechTech Null Ray Cannons/Swords

:''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Starscream is a brand-new sculpt, transforming into a surprisingly accurate F-22 Raptor. In spite of being at a much smaller scale than previous Voyager-class Starscreams, his parts hide much better into his vehicle mode. His incredibly flexible arms have joints at the shoulder, in the middle of the upper arm, elbow, and wrist, allowing them to neatly fold up for transformation, as well as scratch his own back.

:He comes with two [[MechTech]] weapons, with one weapon being static and the other being functional. Both weapons are double-sided, featuring a "[[Null-ray]] cannon" barrel (which looks like a machine-gun barrel) on one side and a "sword" on the other. Pushing forward the scope on the functional weapon will cause the sword weapon to extend, increasing its reach. The peg and cannon barrel on the static weapon correspond to the peg-hole and the hole of the scope of the functional weapon, meaning his null rays can combine to form a double bladed weapon that's way taller than he is. This means that he is one of the few Deluxe Class figures to have a MechTech weapon that can remain locked in both modes, which is awesome. Aside from the [[5 mm post|5mm post]]s on the side of either weapon, the Null-ray barrels at their tips are actually 5mm wide, enabling other figures to wield each weapon normally.

:There are a grand total of 6 MechTech holes, with two under the wings, two under the rear stabilizers, and two on Starscream's forearms. The two under the tail allow the weapons to be stored on the robot mode's back.

:This mold was later redecoed into [[Thundercracker (Movie)#Dark of the Moon|Thundercracker]], [[Skywarp (Movie)#Dark of the Moon|Skywarp]] and Movie Advanced Starscream found further down in this page. His MechTech weapons were [[retool]]ed into [[Darksteel (DOTM)|Darksteel]]'s weapons. He would've been also redecoed as a Hasbro version of Skywarp that never came to be.

Unlike some of the other figures in this series, Starscream boasts not only shoulder articulation but also elbow articulation. Owing to the kid-friendly nature of the toy, [[For safety reasons|the nosecone halves are made of a soft material]].

:''[[Studio Series]]'' Starscream transforms into a licensed Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, borrowing a lot of its engineering from the [[#Deluxe Class toys 2|''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe mold]]. As such, he has peg holes in many of the same spots. There are two major changes added during the up-scaling process—an extra peg hole in the middle of his robot mode back to store his weapon, and extra chest panels that fold away under his wings. He comes with a non-firing missile launcher/claw that can be mounted onto his wrists by folding back his hands. Unfortunately, his eyelids are painted over in the same color as his eyes. As ''Studio Series'' prioritizes scale, Starscream stands taller than [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Studio Series|Optimus Prime]]. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop depicting the battle of Mission City.

:The initial sample displayed at a Chinese fan event<ref name="sscl">[https://news.tfw2005.com/2017/12/16/new-images-studio-series-optimus-prime-ratchet-crowbar-starscream-355531 Leaked photos] from a non-public Chinese fan account with several ''Studio Series'' figures on display</ref> and one of the final-product Hasbro stock photos both depict him having a sawblade accessory that is not included with the released figure.

He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the climactic forest battle in ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

:Oddly, the back of his right leg is left unpainted, even though the stock CG render of the alternate mode depicted on the back of the packaging shows the tattoo deco covering that section as well. Even ''more'' oddly, the CG render of the ''robot'' mode is missing the tampograph as well.

:This version of ''Studio Series'' Starscream is based off his appearance in ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' and transforms from robot to Cybertronian tetrajet in 31 steps. Despite looking very similar to ''Studio Series'' [[Blitzwing (BB)#Generations|Blitzwing]], Starscream is a new mold. He comes with a cannon, two Null-Ray blasters evocative of his Generation 1 [[Starscream (G1)|namesake]], and a cardboard backdrop display depicting a war-torn Cybertron as it appears in the beginning of the film.

:The toy was officially unveiled by the owner of the Ozformers fan group on [[November 5]], [[2020]].

* '''Starscream''' ("Pocket Transformers" toy prize, 2007)

:Free inside specially marked boxes of Oscar Meyer Lunchables dinners, Starscream is one of six "Pocket Transformers" toy prizes. Molded in green, his tablet unfolds to reveal a picture of his robot mode inside. His name is also spelled out across his feet in this mode.

: This mold was also used to create the lunchables figure for [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. A similar mold was used to create the Lunchables figure for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], though with the Autobot symbol sculpted in instead of the Decepticon one. Each iteration of this mold was made with a different color of plastic.

*'''Starscream''' (Burger King free toy, 2007)

:A non-transformable version of Starscream, cast primarily in chalk-grey plastic. It can rotate its arms at the shoulder. The toy's main gimmick, though, is the wheel in his chest. Striking the wheel causes it to advance to the next slot, revealing damage to Starscream's torso. A second tap reveals even more damage. Despite being a free pack-in toy, the figure is surprisingly well molded, having well defined head parts and the twin afterburners on his back that even the Voyager version lacks. It even has six fingers (or rather, four fingers and two thumbs) on each hand!

:This version of Starscream is almost a prelude to the previous one, as he's now sculpted in a touching down pose as opposed to a full land. Like the previous mold, it has articulation at the shoulders and neck. Unfortunately, the left arm is lifted straight out to the side, allowing rotation of the arm but no actual posing.

[[File:Beet-Chit-CMW.jpg|thumb|upright=1.65|''Just Beet-Chit, Beet-Chit, Beet-Chit, Beet-Chit / No one wants to be Defeet-Chit'']]
'''Beet-Chit''' is the pilot of the mech [[Zaptrap]]. An experienced [[Waruder]] soldier, Beet-Chit has again and again proved his skill in pursuit and scavenge. Still, one shouldn't give them too much credit—just like the rest of their brood, Beet-Chit and Zaptrap are focused on one single thing: food. To this end, they exert a bit of control over the swarms to overwhelm whatever stands between them and sustenance.

Beet-Chit shares a symbiotic relationship with Zaptrap; in return for a bit of energy from the host's consumption, Beet-Chit gives Zaptrap some intelligence and direction beyond what his limited AI possesses. It is said that removing Beet-Chit from Zaptrap would reduce the mech to dust, but none have witnessed this. On his own, Beet-Chit has mandibles that can be used to cut enemies.

==Fiction==

Beet-Chit was appointed as a Waruder Field Commander by the [[King Waruder]]. He sought to attack [[Earth]], but circumstances took him and his troops out of the universe. {{storylink|Cybertron's Most Wanted|Zaptrap and Beet-Chit bio}}

Due to quantum instability, a number of Waruder troops were transported to [[Axiom Nexus]]'s distant past when they were shunted over to its universe. They formed a hive, and spent the next 20,000 years undisturbed, evolving and building an elaborate hive deep underground. {{storylink|Cybertron's Most Wanted}}

Desiring a new body to pilot, Beet-Chit found a lost [[Zaptrap]] drone in Cybertron's lower levels and, noting its similarity to his previous [[Kuwagatrer]] mech, converted it into an partially organic suit for him to control. {{storylink|Cybertron's Most Wanted|Zaptrap and Beet-Chit bio}}

Zaptrap/Beet-Chit came to lead his soldiers when one of them signaled that intruders had come upon their hive. Identifying [[Megatron (Movie)|C-81]] and his band of criminals as "SPACE. RO-BOTS. EN-E-MY.", Zaptrap/Beet-Chit pursued the group with a full squadron of Waruder soldiers, intent on destroying the Cybertronians. Despite more "SPACE. RO-BOTS." joining the fray against them, the Waruders were on the winning side, overpowering their foes with sheer numbers. The battle came to an end when C-81 ripped Beet-Chit out of Zaptrap, and forced the Waruder leader to negotiate peacefully. C-81 then explained to Beet-Chit that they had poisoned the TransTech population through their hive's venom. In exchange for a sample of their venom to create an anti-toxin for the TransTechs, the Waruders would be allowed safe passage to another Cybertron, where they would be allowed to eat its cybertonium in peace. Pleased with the idea of a private buffet of the "TAS-TY" metal for him and his hive, Beet-Chit agreed. Beet-Chit then led his troops through C-81's interuniversal portal to an abandoned Cybertron. {{storylink|Cybertron's Most Wanted}}

*Beet-Chit's name is inspired by the "Beet-" naming scheme of [[Takatoku Toys]]' insectoid mecha toys in the ''Armored Insect Corps Beetras'' line that would later become the [[Insecticon (G1)|Deluxe Insecticons]]. The suffix comes from {{w|chitin}}, a substance found in the exoskeletons of beetles and other insects, and as such the second syllable should perhaps be pronounced as "kite".

Evil brain impulse

CementB mixerB:

[[File:Microbots brain impulse.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Actually a rejected design for [[Ravage (ROTF)|Movie Ravage's]] head.]]
The evil thoughts of the evil [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] are transmitted (evily) from his evil brain to his evil body by brain impulses... '''evil brain impulses'''!

These carriers of neuro-impulses are strangely physical. They resemble worms with a dragon's head. Though they purportedly travel through wires, they actually kind of just fly ''above'' the wire, and anybody who is small enough can just grab one and hitch a ride to wherever the evil brain impulses happen to be going.

They are evil.

==Fiction==
===''The Transformers'' cartoon===
[[File:Microbots impulse ride.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|The "It's a Small World" jokes just write themselves.]]

Using the [[transmat reduction beam]], [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]], and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Bumblebee]] shrank down to microscopic size and infiltrated Megatron's body, in order to remove the energy maximizer known as the [[Heart of Cybertron]] before the Decepticon leader could use it against the Autobots.

After several hours of wandering through Megatron's torso and shoulder, the three Autobots arrived inside Megatron's brain chamber. Before Brawn could proceed to "bash brains", a series of electrical worm thingers came flying out of Megatron's brain. Perceptor identified them as brain impulses—''evil'' brain impulses—carrying orders to the Heart of Cybertron. The three Autobots grabbed onto one of the evil brain impulses, and it swiftly carried them to the Heart's location. They let go just before the impulse plunged into the Heart of Cybertron, seemingly vaporizing in the process.

By this point, Megatron was carrying out an assault against the Autobots. Because of this, the constant stream of impulses made it nearly impossible for Perceptor to reach and disconnect the wires feeding commands to the energy booster; Brawn had to save Perceptor from one of the oncoming evil brain impulses as he severed one of the wires. On the verge of triumph, Megatron ceased firing for a moment to gloat, stopping the flow of evil brain impulses; this allowed Perceptor to reach and disconnect the final wire. {{storylink|Microbots}}

==Notes==
*The brain impulses and the plot point about evil thoughts were not present in the original script. Their roles would have been filled by robotic antibodies, but writer [[David Wise]] claims the story editors might have found this too scientific and altered them to cause Megatron's evil impulses.<ref>Per David Wise's Youtube comment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU4pGxycmfs</ref>

Once a leading figure in society, '''Exarchon''' was corrupted by forces unknown into the "Threefold Spark", one mind split across many bodies, unleashing the [[War of the Threefold Spark]].

==Fiction==

At some point during the [[Expansion|Age of Expansion]], Exarchon left Cybertronian space, returning as a mad warmonger intent on destroying Cybertron. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Three}}

The nature of and reason for this transformation is not clear, but many Cybertronians believed he'd been deliberately corrupted and unleashed upon his homeworld as a weapon to curtail Cybertron's rampant expansionism. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight I|Test Flight I}} {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I|Sea of Rust I}} The alteration changed Exarchon's [[spark]], making it akin to a biological virus, capable of "usurping" another Cybertronian's body, consuming their sparks and minds. The only mercy was that Exarchon was unable to maintain more than three bodies at any one time. However, this proved barely an obstacle to him, as he swapped bodies repeatedly. In addition to this mutation, he was given exotic weapons and technology to turn loose on his home planet. {{storylink|Darkness, Once Gazed Upon: Part One}}

When Exarchon returned to Cybertron, he first allied with the amoral [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], and the pair developed a revolutionary form of [[cloning]] that allowed Cybertronians to raise an army of copies from the planet's [[living metal]]—the earliest such experiments yielded [[Soundblaster (G1)|Soundblaster]], who later became a loyal servant of Shockwave's. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I|Sea of Rust I}} Armed with advanced technology, Exarchon soon made his presence known to Cybertron, and the battle to stop him became known as the [[War of the Threefold Spark]]. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Three}}

In battle, Exarchon proved cautious; he rarely put himself in danger by exposing all three of his bodies on the field at any one time. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Three}} His prudence didn't prevent [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] from assassinating at least one of his bodies, although this setback was ultimately temporary. {{storylink|Arcee/Greenlight: Run}} At some point during the war, Exarchon attempted to usurp the [[Titan (group)|Titans]]; he succeeded with [[Croaton (G1)|Croaton]], but this was short-lived, as the Titan [[Citadel (Titan)|Citadel]] obliterated Croaton with an [[imploder]] weapon. {{storylink|Wheeljack: Orbital Decay}} {{storylink|War World: Titans|Titans}} {{storylink|Light/Star}} Cybertron as a whole would not learn the truth of Exarchon's changed nature until towards the end of the war. {{storylink|Darkness, Once Gazed Upon: Part One}}

Other Cybertronians fought for Exarchon voluntarily. The mercurial [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] was an early recruit; although Shockwave and Exarchon had hoped that cloning the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] would give them an army of teleporting warriors, they were disappointed to note that the [[Skywarp drone|Skywarp clone]]s lacked this ability. {{storylink|Escape Part Three}} At some point, the cannibalistic [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]]s cut a deal with Exarchon and Shockwave, who promised them a clone army in due time. {{storylink|Escape Part Two}} Of all of Exarchon's soldiers, [[Turmoil]] established a reputation for himself as a cruel and ruthless warrior. {{storylink|War World: We Are Not Meant To Be Darkness|We Are Not Meant To Be Darkness}}

At one point during the war, when [[Yuss]] was leveled, and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]'s assault force had fallen back, Exarchon felt that the battle was over, and began inspecting the battlefield. He found a damaged [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and noted that while the miner was his enemy, he could have been of use. Whatever Exarchon was planning, he didn't have a chance to implement it, as [[Strika (BM)|Strika]]'s heavies attacked him and destroyed one of his bodies before Skywarp's clone army saved him. Eventually, Megatron would come to realize that it was Exarchon's ''will'', not his weapons or deeds, that came to truly define his fearsome reputation. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Three}}
[[File:ExarchonOriginal.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
The final battle of the War of the Threefold Spark was fought approximately two megacycles before the rise of the [[Decepticon]]s, just beyond the city of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. By that time, much of Exarchon's forces had been defeated, captured or killed, leaving only the fanatics. {{storylink|Darkness, Once Gazed Upon: Part One}} It is unclear if Exarchon himself participated in this battle in any way; although his forces were ultimately routed and his plans for interplanetary conquest foiled, Exarchon vanished from history. Most Cybertronians believed that Exarchon had perished, but some noted that they'd never found his body—the war veteran [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] remained unconvinced that he was truly gone and maintained a solitary vigil at the [[Memorial Crater]] that marked Exarchon's final defeat. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part One}} Cyclonus' concern proved correct, as unknown to all Exarchon endured inside the body of Provoke, buried beneath the memorial itself. {{storylink|War World: Titans|Titans}}

When Senator [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Orion Pax]] wondered whether he could still trust Megatron, Orion's mentor [[Codexa]] told him that Cybertron had once trusted Exarchon before he'd led them to ruin. {{storylink|Orion Pax: Free Fall}} After accepting the [[Matrix of Leadership]], its [[Mediator]] program informed Orion that Exarchon's [[spark]] had not yet joined the [[Transformer afterlife|afterlife]]. {{storylink|War World: Prime|Prime}}

During Megatron's attempted military takeover, he had the Titan [[Cargohold]] crash into the memorial crater. In the aftermath, the rubble was explored by [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]] and [[Roadtrap (POTP)|Roadtrap]], who found Exarchon in Provoke's body. {{storylink|War World: Titans|Titans}} They brought 'her' to the Iacon medical center, where Flatline attended to Provoke while Cyclonus held vigil. The medic felt that it was unlikely 'Provoke' would ever wake up. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight I|Test Flight I}} However, this prognosis proved incorrect. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight II|Test Flight II}} In the guise of Provoke, Exarchon began studying what had happened in his absence, brushing off Cyclonus's attempts to reconnect with his supposed friend. Meanwhile, he usurped the body of Ruckus, and tried to pass the otherwise completely dead mechanoid's revival as a miracle. When Flatline became curious, a frustrated Exarchon - feeling the need to be three once more - usurped him as well. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Enigmatic|Enigmatic}} The Decepticons took no notice of Ruckus's revival, or his strange behaviour, with Swindle shooing Cyclonus off when he tried asking him. {{storylink|Darkness, Once Gazed Upon: Part One}}

{{spoiler|Darkness, Once Gazed Upon: Part Two|January 15 2022}}

When brought before Megatron, Ultra Magnus tried to warn Ultra Magnus about Exarchon's threat while Exarchon himself consulted the archives regarding what he had missed in Provoke's body. His failure to completely mimic Provoke's mannerisms further roused Cyclonus' suspicions. {{storylink|Darkness, Once Gazed Upon: Part Two}}
{{-}}
====Alternate future====
While experimenting with her teleportation abilities, [[Jumpstream]] found herself teleporting out of control, and somehow travelled through time into a future where Exarchon had returned from hiding, stolen the bodies of Megatron, Shockwave, and [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]], and conquered the planet. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight I}} As the ''de facto'' ruler of Cybertron, Exarchon held court in the ruined [[Senate]] building as his minions—Cybertronian, [[Thraal]], and [[Voin]] alike— drained Cybertron's [[energon]] and sold Transformers into slavery. When his Skywarp clones found Jumpstream, she was brought before the ruler of Cybertron; unaware that she'd travelled through time, Exarchon mistook her for a rebel guerilla and ordered his minions to give her to the Thraal mercenaries as a gift. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight II|Test Flight II}}

==Notes==
[[File:Transformers-2019-Exarchon bodies.jpg|thumb|right|250px|]]
*The name "Exarchon" is a portmanteau of the Ancient Greek words "{{w|archon}}" (ἄρχων ''árchōn'') and "{{w|exarch}}" (ἔξαρχος ''éxarchos'').<ref>[https://twitter.com/Brian_Ruckley/status/1133848034213867520 Tweets by @Brian_Ruckley, 29 May 2019]</ref> Both originally referred to rulers or other individuals in positions of authority, but in modern English usage have come to be used specifically for religious leaders within the Eastern Orthodox Church.
*In [[The Change In Your Nature Part Three|''Transformers'' #15]], one of Exarchon's seen bodies is based on ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Deluxe Class [[Twin Twist#Generations|Twin Twist]]. Another (the one destroyed by Strika's Heavies) resembles [[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|''Prime'']] [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]]. Whether this means anything remains to be seen.

{{disambig3|Red Alert}}
:''Red Alert is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy continuity family]].''
[[File:Redalertut.jpg|283px|thumb|Red Alert takes a cue from the Quad City DJs]]
'''Red Alert''' was once a fierce warrior. It was not until he was seriously wounded, losing his hand permanently in battle, that he was able to sit back and realize how terrible war is. He is now a reluctant fighter, and somewhat emotionally detached, preferring to repair his friends than tear his enemies to shreds. This does not mean he is now a coward. To the contrary, when a fellow Autobot on the battlefield needs his immediate medical attention, he will be there no matter what it takes. He's a brilliant medic and scientist, but he's also extremely cautious.

His nominal [[Mini-Con]] partner is [[Longarm (Armada)|Longarm]], though during the search for the [[Cyber Planet Key]]s, he was accompanied to [[Velocitron]] by [[Dirt Boss (Armada)|Dirt Boss]].

==Fiction==
===Toy pack-in comics===
Red Alert cheered on [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]'s defeat of [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. During Galvatron's trip to prison, Red Alert alerted the transporting Autobots of an incoming [[Decepticon]]. {{Storylink|Armada Volume 4}}

===Dreamwave ''Armada'' continuity===
====Dreamwave ''Armada'' comic====
[[File:DWArmada2 RedAlert filtrekshields.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|"Red Alert, all I'm hearing from you is '[[Pīpō|WOO WOO WOO WOO!]]'"]]
One million years ago, a new faction of Transformers, calling themselves "[[Decepticon]]s" attacked various [[Mini-Con]] villages on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] for unknown, but most likely nefarious purposes. Red Alert was under [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]'s personal squad, sifting through the ruins of [[mini-Con Sector|Mini-Con Village C-52]] hoping to find survivors, though Red Alert was more interested in the fact that the Mini-Cons were using outdated [[Filtrek|Filtrek-A forceshields]]. What had happened to the Mini-Cons was that they had been forcibly re-engineered to "[[Powerlinx]]" with the Decepticons, granting the [[Bulk]]s increased power, which the Autobots learned first hand when [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] attacked [[Cyber City]]. Realizing that they were no match for the Decepticons, Red Alert desperately asked Prime for orders. Knowing that they would be killed if they stayed, Optimus ordered a retreat. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 2|Armada #2}}

For a million years the civil war raged on, the once-proud Autobots struggled to defend themselves against the powerful, Mini-Con augmented Decepticons, who were in possession of Cybertron's only remaining Mini-Cons, the others having escaped at the beginning of the conflict. Hope came in the form of a Mini-Con Reactivation Signal detected by Cybertron's Decepticon-controlled communications satellites, which Red Alert was able to hack into. The Autobots resolved to travel to this distant world of [[Earth]] and resolved to fight for Truth, Justice and Freedom. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 3|Armada #3}}

[[File:DWArmada4 RedAlert Scavenger yourface.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|"From now on, losing is verboten!"]]
Arriving on Earth at the [[Allspark Power Generator Station]], Red Alert attempted to communicate with the indigenous [[human]] species, asking for their help in finding the Mini-Cons, but only managing to frighten them off. [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] jokingly suggested it was because of his face. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 4|Armada #4}} Unfortunately for the Autobots, the Decepticons had already arrived and were chasing after [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]]'s group of Mini-Cons and their human friends, [[Rad White|Rad]], [[Carlos Lopez|Carlos]] and [[Alexis Thi Dang|Alexis]]. Just as [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] and [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]] were about to jump Scavenger, Red Alert and [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] arrived to outflank them. Eventually Megatron Powerlinxed with all of his Mini-Cons and gained the upper hand, but help came in the form of [[Jolt (Armada)|Jolt]]'s group of Mini-Cons, who Powerlinxed with the Autobots. [[Longarm (Armada)|Longarm]] linked with Red Alert, a chest-mounted disk launcher. At a tactical disadvantage, the Decepticons were forced to flee. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 5|Armada #5}}

The Autobots attacked the Decepticons after they'd captured Rad and Carlos, with Red Alert taking on Starscream and tricking him into knocking himself out on Smokescreen's crane. They were ultimately defeated by Megatron and captured, but escaped after the Mini-Con [[Swindle (Armada)|Swindle]] had a change of heart and turned on the Decepticons. {{storylink|Armada Free Comic Book Day}} After establishing a base on Earth on the outskirts of [[Lincoln, South Dakota|Lincoln]], [[South Dakota]], Megatron attacked the human city with the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]], the forcibly combined form of the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Air Defense Team]], to goad the Autobots to emerge from their hidden [[Autobase]]. Red Alert tried to contact the [[Street Action Mini-Con Team]] to no avail, and the Autobots realised the Autobot-allied Mini-Cons must have left earlier to infiltrate the Decepticon base at [[Silver Ridge]]. Despite the considerable tactical disadvantage, the Autobots emerged and fought off the Decepticons as best they could, Red Alert somehow gaining the ability to use his claw rifle without Powerlinxing with not-present [[Longarm (Armada)|Longarm]]. Fortunately just as Megatron was about to deal a fatal blow to Optimus Prime, Longarm and the Mini-Cons arrived, Powerlinxed with their respective Autobot partners, allowing the good guys to free the Air Defense Team and send the Decepticons packing. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 7|Armada #7}}

[[File:DWArmada10 RedAlert HotShot VENTSURPRISE.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb]]
Soon afterwards, when Red Alert was looking in on the Mini-Cons, he discovered that they had vanished. Again. He thought that as they were free to come and go as they pleased, perhaps they needed some time to cool off after Optimus Prime admonished them for disobeying his orders during the Air Defense Team incident. The Autobots received an answer to the mystery when local news networks reported strange lights in [[Tranquility, Kansas|Tranquility]], [[Kansas]]. Racing there in a [[Autobot shuttle|shuttle]], they discovered that the Mini-Cons were being subconsciously drawn to a strange obelisk. Unfortunately, the Decepticons were there as well and a fight quickly broke out, but as they fought, the Mini-Cons (and Rad) were taken into the obelisk and it blasted off to the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 8|Armada #8}} With the shuttle destroyed, Optimus Prime prepared to use the [[space bridge]] to go back to Cybertron and retrieve specialised equipment needed to fly to the Moon, but the Decepticon sensors had to be neutralised before he could do so without compromising security. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 9|Armada #9}} Hot Shot and Red Alert infiltrated the Decepticon base at Silver Ridge, knocked out [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] and erased the space bridge trace data of Prime travelling to Cybertron. Unfortunately, just before Prime returned, [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] and [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] returned to Silver Ridge, forcing Red and Hot Shot to hide inside a wall panel. Determined not to let the Decepticons learn of their secret Autobase locations on both Earth and Cybertron, Red Alert and Hot Shot blasted the hapless Decepticons and destroyed their computer. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 10|Armada #10}}

[[File:DWArmada13 Prime RedAlert.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"Doctor, we need your help defusing this atom bomb!" "OPEN THAT SLAG UP!"]]
After the crisis on the moon was diverted, Red Alert picked up an emergency transmission from Smokescreen and Scavenger, who had detected a Decepticon rocket launch pad in Death Valley, [[California]]. At the same time, a Mini-Con escape pod from the moon was detected in [[Alaska]], and Optimus Prime, needing to play politics to keep the Mini-Con refugees on side, decided to deploy the Autobots to the icy north. {{storylink|Fire & Ice}} Arriving in Alaska, Red Alert and [[Longarm (Armada)|Longarm]] were tasked with cutting the ice that entombed the escape pod with their [[sonic cannon]] while the other Autobots and Mini-Cons defended the area from the Decepticons. Unfortunately, at this moment Megatron attacked the Autobot shuttle with his [[Solar Scalpel]], an orbital superweapon launched from the rocket base in Death Valley. As if they weren't having enough problems, an-over-Powerlinxed [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]] attacked, forcing Hot Shot and Red Alert to intercept. The two Autobots were flattened by the overpowered Cyclonus, until Optimus Prime stepped in and crushed the Decepticon's chest. With the Solar Scalpel destroyed by the [[Space Mini-Con Team]], rescue operations recommenced. Suddenly, Optimus Prime vanished. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 13|Armada #13}}

[[File:WorldsCollide2 RedAlert hit.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
Returning to Autobase: Earth via space bridge, Red Alert and the others discovered that while Optimus Prime didn't return to their base, they did have ''an'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. While the Mini-Cons postulated that he may be from another dimension, Red Alert did his best to stabilize the mysterious Autobot's condition. Sadly, the Prime briefly reactivated to warn them of the "walls" of reality crumbling and that "chaos" was coming, before expiring. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 1 of 4}} With the arrival of the dimension-crossing Mini-Con [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]], the Autobots got some clues into what happened to "their" Optimus Prime and the means to search for him throughout the [[multiverse]]. Red Alert and Longarm returned to the scene of Over-Run's appearance on Earth, but could not find his [[null-reality pod]], as it had been seized by the Decepticons. Unfortunately, this search for Optimus Prime prompted Megatron to lead an assault on Autobase: Earth, blowing up the computer in the unwitting Red Alert's face as he was using it. With Optimus missing, Red Alert assumed command and ordered the Autobots to roll out, but the Autobots were swiftly defeated. Red Alert was knocked unconscious by Starscream, but Megatron demanded the right to strike the final blow. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 2 of 4}}

[[File:DWArmada18 TheEnd Autobots Smokescreen.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|"What's the diagnosis?" "There are deep lacerations in the sternum- WHERE ALIENS HAVE TAKEN OVER HIS BODYYYY!!" "HOO-WHAAAAAAAT?!"]]
The Autobots were inadvertently saved from a fate exactly the same as death when a [[Galvatron (G1)|mysterious, powerful Cybertronian]] appeared and took the Decepticons apart, though the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Air Defense Team]] were forced to intervene to prevent the being from defeating Megatron. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 3 of 4}} After the Decepticons limped away, a seriously-trashed Red Alert reported to Optimus Prime (who had been rescued and was now on Autobase: Cybertron) on the bad condition of the Earthside Autobots, in particular Smokescreen. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 4 of 4}}

With this in mind, those who survived Megatron's attack were less-than-pleased when they learned of Optimus Prime's alliance with the Decepticons to defeat [[Unicron]], the Chaos Bringer and eater of worlds. To prevent a fight from breaking out on Earth, Optimus sent them ahead to Autobase: Cybertron, where its less-damaged facilities could be used to save Smokescreen's life. However, Red Alert and the others still thirsted for revenge against Megatron, and assigned [[Laserbeak (Armada)|Laserbeak]] to keep an eye on him. When Megatron isolated himself from the other Transformers by landing on Unicron in the hopes of striking a deal with the Choas Bringer, they attacked, sending the Decepticon leader into Unicron's depths as it disappeared from this reality. {{storylink|The End}}

====''Energon'' comic====
While Optimus Prime waited for a meeting with the High Council, Red Alert, Scavenger and [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]] were seen travelling on a highway in the center of [[Cyber City]]. {{storylink|This Evil Reborn}} Red Alert later returned to Earth in response to the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] attacks on four major cities, {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 2}} being stationed in [[Toronto]] where he had to withstand [[Divebomb (Energon)|Divebombs]] as well as [[Beachcomber (Energon)|Beachcomber]]'s puns. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 3}}

[[File:Base redalert newgun.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"Let's go practice medicine"]]
Red Alert and [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] were old comrades in the war over the [[Mini-Con]]s on Cybertron, with Red securing victory for his leader many times through his dedication to careful planning and preparation. {{storylink|Soldier (episode)|Soldier}} When a beacon from the planet [[Earth]] reached Cybertron in [[2010]], alerting the Autobots and Decepticons to the awakening of the long-missing [[Mini-Con]]s on the far-off world, Red Alert journeyed there with Optimus and [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] to investigate. Teleporting to the planet's surface at the same time as the Decepticons, Red immediately engaged [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]], protecting the Mini-Con [[High Wire (Armada)|High Wire]] and the humans he had befriended from the Decepticon. The villains were driven off, but soon returned to menace the humans and their Mini-Con friends again, and Red—now sporting an ambulance [[alternate mode]]—and the Autobots came to their rescue once more. {{storylink|Metamorphosis (Armada)|Metamorphosis}} Red and Hot Shot shielded their new allies against a blast from [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]], which yielded great reward: the explosion unearthed two Mini-Con stasis panels, which Red and Hot Shot activated, gaining new Mini-Con partners of their own. [[Powerlinx]]ing with [[Longarm (Armada)|Longarm]], Red Alert obtained a new laser gun, with which he blasted [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]]. The Decepticons withdrew, and the Autobots set about the business of constructing a base on Earth out of the Mini-Con's crashed [[Exodus (Armada)|ship]]; after helping explain Cybertronian history to the kids, Red Alert gifted them with a protector in the form [[Laserbeak (Armada)|Laserbeak]]. {{storylink|Base}}

[[File:Soldier redalert disklauncher.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Save the rainbow. Taste the rainbow.]]
On a mission to track down the signal of a Mini-Con panel in [[Grand Canyon|Big Canyon]], Red Alert partnered up with [[Carlos Lopez|Carlos]]. After some off-roading fun to kick things off, the pair soon got lost and Carlos quickly got tired of Red Alert's humorless personality, but when the Decepticons attacked, Carlos had an up-close view of Red Alert's battle prowess as the medic used a grappling line to evade attacks from Demolishor. {{storylink|Comrade}} Hot Shot also expressed discontent with the officious Red Alert after he scolded him for not pulling his weight, but Red was soon to prove his value to the young Autobot while in [[Antarctica]]: in addition to quickly repairing Optimus Prime's malfunctioning trailer, Red saved Hot Shot's life by taking out [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]] with his grapple, saved him ''again'' by clonking Megatron with his disk launcher, saved the ''kids'' from falling to their doom with his disk, ''and'' snatched the Mini-Con panel out of Starscream's hands! {{storylink|Soldier (episode)|Soldier}}

[[File:Carnival redalert and longarm.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|If you don't leave me alone, I will obtain the rights to make an eighth Rocky movie...and I know you don't want that.]]
While searching for a Mini-Con in a forest, Red Alert was the one who deduced that Optimus's trailer could be used to fight a forest fire. {{storylink|Jungle}} He later supervised maintenance work on the Autobot base, {{storylink|Carnival}} and accompanied his team-mates on a mission to the [[Sahara]]. This mission ended with yet another Mini-Con under the Decepticons' control. {{storylink|Palace}} Red Alert was furious when the Decepticons captured their human allies, and had to be physically restrained by Optimus from attacking Megatron as he ransomed the humans for the Autobots' Mini-Cons, but things turned out okay thanks to the efforts of [[Fred (Armada)|Fred]] and [[Billy (Armada)|Billy]]. {{storylink|Confrontation (episode)|Confrontation}}

After working with a disinterested Hot Shot to continue salvaging what they could from the Mini-Con ship, Red joined in searching the caverns beneath a human city for the next Mini-Con, puzzling train passengers by driving through subway tunnels in his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]. {{storylink|Underground (episode)|Underground}} Later, looking for a Mini-Con at the bottom of the ocean, Red helped keep the Decepticons busy while the kids explored the ruins of an undersea civilisation, and carried Carlos to safety when the ruins began to collapse. {{storylink|Ruin}} The Decepticons succeeded in obtaining both these Mini-Cons, but Red Alert finally scored a win for the Autobots when he used his grapple to secure a panel on a volcanic island. The Autobots found they couldn't awaken this Mini-Con, causing Red to wonder aloud about the mysterious nature of the little 'bots, and the legends he had heard that they were the key to peace in the universe. {{storylink|Prehistory}} [[File:Gale redalert altmode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]] As it turned out, the Mini-Con was part of the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]] sword, and required its two partners—one currently in the hands of the Decepticons—in order to awaken. The Decepticons soon invaded the Autobot base to bring the sword together, and Red Alert unleashed the base's defense systems on them. When this put their human allies in danger they turned to more tricky tactics, and Red took Starscream out of the equation with the confusing powers of a hall of mirrors. {{storylink|Swoop (episode)|Swoop}}

With the Star Saber successfully formed an in Autobot hands, Red Alert found the time to tinker, upgrading Laserbeak so that the kids would be able to direct him across greater distances. {{storylink|Overmatch}} He encouraged Hot Shot to train harder with the weapon, then partook in a search for a Mini-Con on a busy highway, helping Optimus hold off Starscream. The Autobots won the day thanks to the arrival of the mysterious [[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]]; Red was unsure if the newcomer was entirely trustworthy, but considered the search for the Mini-Cons of greater import. {{storylink|Gale}} As it turned out, Red Alert was right: Sideways soon changed sides to the Decepticons, and lured Hot Shot—who had, as Red feared, placed too much confidence in the Star Saber—into a battle on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. Hot Shot lost the sword to the Decepticons, and was returned to Earth, where Red tended to his wounds. {{storylink|Credulous}}
[[File:DecisiveBattle redalert gunarm.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"Dead or alive, you're coming with me!"]]
On a mission to a foggy forest, Red Alert and [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] battled Starscream and Demolishor, after which Red was tasked with using his grapple to recover a Mini-Con panel from a cliff-face, only to be foiled by Cyclonus. {{storylink|Conspiracy}} Soon after, the Autobots were joined by former Decepticon [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]], who Red Alert defended to the distrustful Smokescreen and kids by explaining his long-standing friendship with Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Trust (Armada)|Trust}} Red and Smokescreen supervised the kids when they went on vacation to the countryside, but when a flash-flood swept the area, Red, Carlos and a young boy named [[Shaun]] were buried in a mudslide. Unable to transform with the local news network present, Red Alert had to wait to be dug out by Smokescreen, Optimus and Scavenger, after which he used his grapple to get them all to safety. {{storylink|Vacation}}

On another Mini-Con search, Red Alert tried to snipe Demolishor as he made a grab for the newest stasis panel, but was stopped by Cyclonus. The Mini-Con was recovered by the newest Autobot, [[Blurr (Armada)|Blurr]], and Red backed him up when he and Hot Shot took point on the next Mini-Con hunt. Unfortunately, this mission ended in failure for the Autobots, and the Decepticons acquired control of the Skyboom Shield. {{storylink|Reinforcement}} Red Alert later took part in a decisive battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, taking out Sideways with a single well-aimed blast. {{storylink|Decisive Battle}} He stayed at base for the next battle, but was on hand to repair Optimus's injuries after the fight was over. {{storylink|Vow}} When Sideways sucked the kids into cyberspace, Red Alert managed to extricate them before an evil force within the digital realm was able to do them any harm. {{storylink|Chase (episode)|Chase}} He then put a firewall in place to prevent further incidents, and remained at the base to observe the Autobots next mission alongside the kids. {{storylink|Tactician}} Optimus Prime was badly injured in this encounter, and Red Alert conducted the extensive repairs needed while the other Autobots went into another battle without them. The battle went badly, and Red prepared to join his comrades in action until Optimus forcibly removed himself from the medibay against Red's recommendation and helped win the day. {{storylink|Linkup}}

[[File:Detection redalert bossing around.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"Show me your moves!"]]
In another moment of downtime, Red Alert again supervised repairs to the Autobot base, but got fed up of nobody really knowing what they were supposed to be doing and finished the job himself. {{storylink|Detection}} Red stayed at the base with the kids, spectating over a monitor, while the rest of the Autobots enaged the Decepticons and their newest member [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]]. While the boys went off to search for a Mini-Con panel that activated somewhere in the bowels of the ship, Red and Alexis were contacted by Sideways and informed that the new panel contained one of the [[Space Mini-Con Team]], who formed the third Mini-Con weapon, the [[Requiem Blaster (Armada)|Requiem Blaster]]. {{storylink|Awakening (Armada)|Awakening}} When the boys returned with the Mini-Con, [[Sky Blast (Armada)|Sky Blast]], Red Alert took them to the battlefield, and was subsequently injured shielding them from Decepticon fire. His selfless action convinced the timid Sky Blast to act, and he sent out a call that awoke the other two components of the Requiem Blaster. The Space Mini-Con Team combined, and the weapon wound up in Optimus Prime's hands, ensuring an Autobot victory. {{storylink|Desperate}}

[[File:Regeneration redalert repairs smokescreen.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]
The Autobots called a meeting to determine what to do with the Requiem Blaster, and Red agreed with the other Autobots who voted to put it to aggressive use. Overhearing this decision, the kids helped the pacifistic Space Team run away, and Red joined the other Autobots in searching for them. {{storylink|Runaway}} Understanding the Space Team's feelings, the Autobots decided not to employ the blaster in battle, so Red Alert and Smokescreen stayed behind at the Autobot base to safeguard the trio while the rest of the team went on their next mission. Unfortunately, the Decepticons staged a feint operation that allowed them to attack the under-manned base, overpowering Red Alert, seizing the Requiem Blaster, and fatally wounding Smokescreen with its power. {{storylink|Sacrifice}} Luckily, Red went to work on Smokescreen quickly, saving his [[Spark]] and rebuilding his body anew, giving him new life as "Hoist". {{storylink|Regeneration (Armada)|Regeneration}}

Once again, Red Alert remained behind while the other Autobots, acting on information from a turncoat Starscream, invaded the Decepticon base and liberated their captive Mini-Cons. {{storylink|Rescue}} He checked over Starscream's wounds when the Decepticon returned from a later mission to [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], {{storylink|Mars (episode)|Mars}} then joined in the effort to construct a [[Axalon (Armada)|new starship]] for the Autobots, making sure to keep the others on-project in his usual straightforward way. Before the ship was finished, however, Starscream defected back to the Decepticons, allowing them to gain control of all the Mini-Con weapons {{storylink|Crack (episode)|Crack}} and form the [[Hydra Cannon]], with which they threatened to destroy Earth. Red analyzed the Decepticon weapon from afar, but ultimately it took Optimus Prime sacrificing his life to destroy it. {{storylink|Crisis (Armada)|Crisis}}

[[File:Miracle grinning red.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"Nice shooting, son. What's your name?" "It's Murphy."]]
With Optimus's death, the mantle of leadership fell to a conflicted Hot Shot, and Red Alert helped—though some aggression therapy—to convince him to take the title. {{storylink|Remorse}} The Autobots proceeded to complete their ship, the ''Axalon'', to pursue the Decepticons, but it fell to Red Alert to inform the kids that they would not be joining the Autobots on the journey. While Red was running final checks on the bridge, however, the Mini-Cons swarmed the room, blocking his access to the consoles in a silent protest that convinced the Autobots allow the humans to join them. {{storylink|Depart}} Red helped pilot the Autobot ship when it subsequently took off; a space battle with the Decepticons resulted in short order, during which the Mini-Cons used their powers to resurrect Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Miracle}}

[[File:Puppet redalert blackhole.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|I am fully charged!]]
No sooner were they reuinted with Prime than a worm hole opened in space alongside the Autobots' craft, sucking Red Alert and Hot Shot into its depths. The pair were disgorged on a strange, dead planet where they and a trio of Decepticons found themselves menaced by a sinister clone of Optimus Prime named [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]]. While Optimus Prime soon arrived to dispatch his dark doppelgänger, Red, Hot Shot and the Decepticons all sustained serious injuries, but were saved by their partner Mini-Cons, who used their powers to heal their wounds, [[spontaneous recoloration|changing the color]] of their armor. {{storylink|Puppet}}

Both factions returned to Cybertron, and during the first battle back on their homeworld, Red Alert and [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]] remained aboard the ''Axalon'' to protect the kids and Mini-Cons. {{storylink|Uprising (Armada)|Uprising}} A little later, Red caught Hot Shot in the act as he was preparing to depart on an unsanctioned solo mission. Learning that Hot Shot was aiming to make contact with Megatron—now Galvatron—in hopes of uniting the two factions against the danger posed by the emerging [[Unicron]], Red let him go. {{storylink|Dash (episode)|Dash}} While Hot Shot was off on his mission, Red Alert helped co-ordinate troop movements across Cybertron, {{storylink|Drift (episode)|Drift}} recommending the deployment of backup for Hot Shot as his mission took him underground on the trail of Unicron. {{storylink|Portent}}

[[File:Puppet powerlinx redalert.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Red Alert remained aboard the ''Axalon'' with the kids for the next battle, which concluded with the Autobots and Decepticons finally agreeing to combine forces in the face of Unicron's threat. {{storylink|Cramp}} Red stood by Optimus Prime's side for the impromptu ceremony that saw the two armies formally unite, then took part in the first strike against Unicron before withdrawing to the ''Axalon'' to watch the demi-god's transformation from Cybertron's moon to titantic robot. {{storylink|Alliance}} When the [[Street Action Mini-Con Team]] informed them that the key to stopping Unicron was to free the three Mini-Con weapons powering him, Red Alert brought them and the kids to the underground warp-gate previously discovered by Hot Shot that would teleport them inside Unicron's body. Tremors caused by the battle raging outside caused the subterreanean tunnel to collapse, but Red shielded the kids and Mini-Cons and got them through the portal before he was buried in the subsidance. {{storylink|Union}} He soon extricated himself from the cave-in and returned to the surface, horrified at the devastation. {{storylink|Origin}} Red Alert participated in the final attack on Unicron that culminated in the chaos bringer's apparent destruction when Galvatron sacrificed himself, robbing Unicron of the hatred needed for him to exist. {{storylink|Mortal Combat}}

=====Alternate timeline=====
In a timeline where the Cybertronians' conflict never left their home planet, the Mini-Cons' influence on the Autobots and Decepticons subjugated the larger robots. Red Alert and the rest of his kind were left entangled in a semi-organic growth spawned from Unicron's cells, and were shut down by Unicron's power. Carlos, Alexis, and Rad appeared before him, visitors from another time, and beheld Red Alert's inert form before shooting off into time once more, eventually leading to Red Alert's fate being prevented. {{storylink|Drift (episode)|Drift}}

[[File:Landmine redalert robotmode.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Twenty years after the war for the Mini-Cons ended, Red Alert—having gained a [[Accent|new accent]] somewhere in the intervening two decades—was assigned to a remote station to monitor the activity of a colossal [[Unicron Singularity|black hole]] created by the destruction of Unicron. From this location, he reported in on the destruction of the planet [[Moriturus]]. {{storylink|Fallen (episode)|Fallen}} With the black hole threatening Cybertron itself, Optimus Prime led the Autobots in evacuating to Earth, but Red remained at his station, preparing a [[gravitron grid]] that could hopefully be used to collapse the black hole in upon itself. Teleconferencing with Prime's forces on Earth for the grid's activation, Red Alert found that his efforts had sadly been in vain, as the grid proved unable to combat the black hole's force. Ancient Transformer [[Vector Prime]] urged that the lost [[Cyber Planet Key]]s held the key to stopping the singularity, and while the other Autobots were uncertain, Red Alert spoke up on his behalf, convincing Prime's team to focus their full efforts on locating the Keys. {{storylink|Hidden}}

[[File:Rush redalert helps brakedown.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Red Alert soon joined his fellow Autobots on Earth, arriving just in time to help [[Overhaul (Cybertron)|Overhaul]] reinforce the [[Autobot]]s during their conflict outside a museum. A relic from within the museum yielded up the coordinates to the resting place of the first Cyber Planet Key, [[Velocitron]], the Speed Planet. Red Alert was sent there along with Hot Shot on a covert mission to locate the key, though Red was not too happy at the prospect of a secret mission with the impetuous younger Autobot. {{storylink|Landmine (episode)|Landmine}} Red Alert could see little point in the race-centric society of Velocitron, but was instead far more interested to observe the Velocitronians' unique [[Cyber Key]]s. In accordance with Optimus's instructions, he tried to keep Hot Shot from interacting with the natives, but their mission was barely underway before Hot Shot had disobeyed and intervened in a local dispute. {{storylink|Space (episode)|Space}} With non-interference now a dead prospect, Red helped Hot Shot defeat local bullies [[Crumplezone (Cybertron)|Crumplezone]] and [[Ransack (Cybertron)|Ransack]], then checked over their injured victim, [[Brakedown (Cybertron)|Brakedown]]. Initially attempting to pose as native Velocitronians, the pair were found out by Brakedown's young friend [[Clocker (Cybertron)|Clocker]] when he overheard Red Alert giving Hot Shot a dressing down for his insubordination. With Clocker's aid, the pair were brought before planet leader [[Override (Cybertron)|Override]], who offered them information if Hot Shot could beat her in a race; he failed to do so, but Red accused him of racing for his own ego, rather than for the mission. {{storylink|Rush (episode)|Rush}}

[[File:Rush redalert vehiclemode.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]
After Hot Shot blew his systems in his next race with Override, Red Alert went scavenging for parts in a junkyward, where he was attacked by Crumplezone and Ransack, who had fallen in with the Decepticons. Although he was able to overpower them, Red was felled with ease by their commanding officer, Starscream. {{storylink|Speed}} Red recovered, but his disposition was not helped by the experience, as he continued to lambast Hot Shot for putting himself ahead of the mission, causing the pair to almost come to blows. {{storylink|Time (episode)|Time}} Nonetheless, Red refrained from confessing their breach of protocol to Optimus Prime when he next reported on their progress. He observed Crumplezone and Ransack beating up [[Dirt Boss (Cybertron)|Dirt Boss]], and overcame his reluctance to intervene, but was fortunately prevented from having to do so by the arrival of Override. {{storylink|Search (episode)|Search}}

[[File:Detour redalert firefighting.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
With the [[Planet Cup]] about to start—the race which would determined the leader of Velocitron and conferred upon its winner possession of the world's Cyber Planet Key—Red Alert summoned Optimus Prime to the Speed Planet. {{storylink|Ship}} Forced to confess their failure to follow his orders upon Prime's arrival, Red Alert explained the situation, and Prime excused their actions after seeing Override's obstinacy for himself. Red himself participated in the opening heat of the Planet Cup, helping Hot Shot overcome a mechanical hiccup that prevented him from accelerating by dragging him along in his slipstream. {{storylink|Hero (episode)|Hero}} Red and [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]] guarded Hot Shot's rear for the rest of the race, and despite Decepticon interference, Red progressed to the second heat. {{storylink|Race}} Racing took its toll on the pair during this round of the contest, they dropped out to help put out fires Decepticon meddling had caused. {{storylink|Detour (episode)|Detour}}

[[File:Ice redalert.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]
During training for the next leg of the Planet Cup, Red Alert relayed a distress call from Overhaul on the [[Jungle Planet (colony)|Jungle Planet]] to Optimus, and gave voice to the theory he had formed based on observing the Velocitronians' Cyber Keys that the Transformers had been shaped in different ways by the Cyber Planet Keys. {{storylink|Savage}} Red was a spectator for the next race, discovering stowaway Mini-Cons [[Six-Speed (Cybertron)|Six-Speed]] and [[Reverb (Cybertron)|Reverb]] in the crowd. {{storylink|Sand}} In preparation for the final round of the cup, Red had bad news for Hot Shot: the stress on his system from the races so far would require a passenger to ride with him to constantly modify his system. He achieved victory with [[Coby Hansen]]'s help and won the Autobots their first Cyber Planet Key, though this didn't stop Red from good-naturedly ribbing him on the winner's platform. {{storylink|Champion}} When the key was inserted into the [[Omega Lock]], it emitted a signal that Red and the other Autobots followed to the [[Arctic]], though their search for whatever it was pointing the way to was fruitless. {{storylink|Ice}}

[[File:Retreat redalert cyberkeypower.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"I'm a healer, but...."]]
After having some of the damage he had sustained during his Velocitronian adventures repaired by Coby, {{Storylink|Honor}} Red Alert put his own repair skills to work giving Optimus Prime a tune-up so that he could battle [[Scourge (Cybertron)|Scourge]], leader of Jungle Planet. {{storylink|Primal (Cybertron)|Primal}} Prime won ownership of Jungle Planet's Cyber Planet Key, and Red Alert and all the other Autobots [[space bridge]]d to Jungle Planet to help fight off Megatron when he tried to steal it. {{storylink|Trust (Cybertron)|Trust}} The addition of this key to the Omega Lock again directed the Autobots to the Arctic, but Red stayed behind at base while Prime led a small team to investigate. {{storylink|Trap}} Prime's team was trapped in an avalanche caused by the emergence of the Arctic mystery—ancient Decepticons hidden in stasis who had been freed by Starscream—so Red Alert and the other Autobots sped to their rescue, digging them out so they could take the fight to their new enemies. When Optimus was injured in the subsequent fight, Red Alert called retreat so he could tend to his leader's wounds. {{Storylink|Invasion (episode)|Invasion}} Seeing no recourse but to retreat to Cybertron with the Omega Lock, the Autobots attempted to leave, but were systematically cut down in their escape attempt by Starscream; Red fell alongside Landmine as the renegade Decepticon smashed through their Cyber Key powers. {{storylink|Retreat}}

[[File:Critical CDredalert.jpg|left|thumb|225px]]
With the Omega Lock in Starscream's clutches, the Autobots had to focus their efforts on recovering it from his island base, only to be stymied by a battle with Megatron at [[Niagara Falls]]. Red Alert, Hot Shot and [[Scattorshot (Cybertron)|Scattorshot]] faced off against the Decepticon leader and were mowed down by his "Death Machine Gun". {{storylink|Revelation (episode)|Revelation}} Vector Prime transported the grievously wounded trio to a nearby military base where their human allies began trying to repair them, but Red Alert insisted they were too damaged to save. [[Lori Jiménez|Lori]] refused to take accept his fatalism, and as Hot Shot and Scattorshot announced their desire to keep living and fighting, he realized how shamefully he was acting. Their hearts [[Burning justice|burning for justice as one]], the three Autobots were able to tap into the power of the Omega Lock from afar, and were reformatted into powerful new forms, becoming the [[Cybertron Defense Team (Cybertron)|Cybertron Defense Team]]. They returned to Niagara Falls to resume their battle with Megatron, allowing Optimus to depart to track the energy surge from the Lock that had reformatted them to Starscream's secret island base. {{storylink|Critical}} After Megatron was repelled, Red Alert and his new team joined the battle on Starscream's island, from which they were sent back to Cybertron to clear the way for the impending arrival of the recovered Omega Lock, {{storylink|Assault}} riding the unstable space bridge with the help of Coby, Lori and [[Bud Hansen|Bud]]. Upon reaching the planet, they discovered it infested with insectoid [[Scrapmetal (race)|Scrapmetal]] {{storylink|Starscream (episode)|Starscream}} and set about exterminating them. [[File:Balance red scans jolt.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]] {{storylink|United}} Just after they got through wiping them out, the team were confronted with Megatron once more and leapt to battle him, but were easily repulsed by his energy aura. Instead, they just stood back and watched as Optimus Prime appeared to destroy Megatron with the Omega Lock, then used the Lock's power to transform Cybertron into the body of their god and creator [[Primus]]. {{storylink|Cybertron (episode)|Cybertron}}

After communion with Primus revealed that the fourth and final Cyber Planet Key lay on [[Gigantion]], the Giant Planet, First Aid scanned [[Jolt (Cybertron)|Jolt]]'s memory banks to uncover the co-ordinates of the planet, which lay in another dimension. {{storylink|Balance}} When Jolt, the other Mini-Cons and the kids were snatched by [[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]] to gain the same info, Red Alert helped Vector Prime trace their whereabouts, {{storylink|Darkness (episode)|Darkness}} eventually locating them on Starscream's starship, the ''[[Atlantis]]''. Red and Scattorshot joined Vector Prime in warping to the ship to rescue their stranded friends. {{storylink|Escape (episode)|Escape}}

[[File:Cyb ep38 this may sting.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"Ze healing is not as rewarding as ze hurting."]]
In preparation for the dimensional crossing required to reach Gigantion, Red Alert studied Optimus Primes's [[Matrix of Leadership]] and Vector Prime's [[Rhisling|sword]] and distilled a stabilizing "vaccine" from them that would allow the Autobots to endure the reality flux the crossing would subject them. {{storylink|Family}} Red helped to co-ordinate the distribution of Primus's energy so that the god could fend off an attack from Starscream, {{storylink|Titans}} then administered his vaccine to the other Autobots as they readied for departure aboard the ''[[Ogygia (Cybertron)|Ogygia]]''. While travelling between dimension, the ''Ogygia'' had its main engine damaged by the ''Atlantis'', but Red Alert and Coby's combined mechanical skills fixed it in the nick of time. {{storylink|Warp}}

Red Alert and the other Autobots proceeded to make contact with native Gigantions and explained their mission, {{storylink|Giant}} but were soon served their first major defeat on the planet when they were bested by Megatron, who had become Galvatron again through the power of the Cyber Planet Key. {{storylink|Fury (Cybertron)|Fury}} After Red helped to rescue Bud from the ''Atlantis'', the Autobots divided into teams to work their way towards the centre of the many-layered planet, where the Cyber Planet Key lay. {{storylink|City}}[[File:Challenge redalert cyberkeypower.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]] Red Alert and his Cybertron Defense Teammates took one route together, overcoming the illusions of Sideways and [[Soundwave (Cybertron)|Soundwave]], {{storylink|Challenge}} besting [[Menasor (Cybertron)|Menasor]], but again falling before the might of Galvatron. {{Storylink|Scourge (episode)|Scourge}} They recovered in time to join the other Autobots in battle on the planet's lowest level, besting Galvatron and securing the Cyber Planet Key. {{storylink|Optimus (episode)|Optimus}} Galvatron soon returned to seize the complete set of keys, cutting Red and the other Autobots down in the process and leaving them stranded on Gigantion with no way back to their universe. {{storylink|Showdown (Cybertron)|Showdown}} Red Alert and Scattorshot handled the programming side of things as the Autobots attempted to create a new space bridge to return home, but the endeavor met with failure, forcing Vector Prime to sacrifice himself using his powers over space and time to return his allies to Cybertron. {{storylink|Guardian (episode)|Guardian}}

Upon their return to their homeworld, Red Alert, Hot Shot and Scattorshot engaged the Decepticons in battle to allow Optimus Prime to tussle with Galvatron. {{storylink|Homecoming (episode)|Homecoming}} Galvatron then used the Cyber Planet Keys to enlarge his Decepticons to giant size, and the Cybertron Defense Team joined in the effort to take on [[Thundercracker (Armada)|Thundercracker]], allowing Prime to pursue Galvatron and reclaim the keys. {{storylink|End}} Primus subsequently sealed the black hole, and Red Alert turned his attention to helping in the construction of planetary engines that would move the displaced Jungle Planet back to its proper orbit. He was among the assembled Cybertronians who helped right the engines when they were damaged, saving Jungle Planet, then gathered on Cybertron's moon with his comrades to watch Optimus Prime's final battle with Galvatron. {{storylink|Unfinished}}

With the war over, the Autobots embarked on a mission to build a new space bridge across the galaxy, linking all their worlds together. Red Alert was among the crew of the ''Atlantis'', ever by Optimus Prime's side. {{storylink|Beginning}}

====''Cybertron'' comic====
Several months after the end of the war, Red Alert and other comrades of Optimus Prime met with a group of Autobots responsible for fighting off [[Unicron]] and saving the [[Mini-Con]] colonies while Prime's team was busy with the whole Cyber Planet Key business. {{storylink|Revelations Part 6}}

===Panini ''Armada'' comic===
During the war, Red Alert suffered a terrible injury that nearly killed him. This near-death experience taught him to value life in all its forms. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 8|Red Alert's profile}} During one of his many battles on Cybertron, Red Alert defended the main Autobot headquarters from a Decepticon attack alongside [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] and [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]]. When it was revealed that angry Mini-Cons planned to bomb the base, he and the others retreated. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 9|Counter-Strike!}} A few million years later, Red Alert participated in another battle with the Decepticons, but ended up retreating again as the enemy's Mini-Con augmentations rendered them too powerful. He wondered where the Mini-Cons who escaped from Cybertron had disappeared to, but [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] told him it was best if nobody ever found out. {{storylink|First Encounter!}}

But it was not to be. Just a short while later, a Mini-Con reactivation beacon reached Cybertron, and the Autobots tracked it to [[Earth]] to protect the Mini-Cons from [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]. While Red Alert and the others were outgunned by the Decepticons at first, the Mini-Cons pitched in and [[Longarm (Armada)|Longarm]] joined with Red Alert, allowing him to shoot down [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Friends and Foes!}} After the Decepticons were chased off, the Autobots stood watch as the Mini-Cons and their new [[human]] friends made their way into some small caves. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 3|Deep Trouble!}} They later decided that the best way to keep the Mini-Cons safe was to send them back to Cybertron, so Red Alert prepared a [[space bridge]] for them. In the end, the Mini-Cons refused to leave their friends, and a Decepticon attack wrecked the space bridge anyway.
{{storylink|Panini Armada issue 4|No Way Back!}}

Alongside Hot Shot and Optimus Prime, Red Alert later helped save the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Air Defense Mini-Con Team]] from Starscream. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 5|Devices and Desires!}} When the Autobots learned that the Decepticons were planning to [[Nuclear weapon|nuke]] their base from the [[Moon (moon)|moon]], Red Alert despaired that their space bridge was still offline, so they couldn't prepare a counteroffensive. Thankfully, Hot Shot managed to repair the bridge and used it to send the missiles straight back at the Decepticons. Not Red Alert the scientist, but ''Hot Shot''. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 8|Earthshaker!}}

===The Balance of Power===
Red Alert and [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] were entrusted with a mission to track down an ancient Mini-Con relic deep in Decepticon territory. The duo ran afoul of [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]] and numerous [[Decepticlone]]s backing him up, forcing Red Alert to send out a distress signal. [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus]] arrived to bolster their firepower in short order, which in turn drew [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] into the conflict. Though Red Alert was willing to do battle with the Decepticon leader himself, Optimus told him to stand down, so he could take on Megatron on his own. As the two leaders clashed, [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] uncovered the artifact and activated it, and a portal opened, leading to the Mini-Cons' hiding place. The Decepticons flung themselves into the portal, and the Autobots followed them... to Earth. The search for the Mini-Cons began in earnest on this new world. {{storylink|The Balance of Power}}
{{note|This comic was written as a tie-in to the [[Transformers (PS2)|''Armada'' video game]], but its details differ from the introduction seen in the game itself. [[#PS2|See below]] for Red Alert's role in the game.}}

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

After securing their base on Earth, Optimus, Hot Shot and Red Alert headed to a nearby highway to adopt new alternate modes based on local vehicles. Red Alert took on the form of a four-wheel drive rescue vehicle that was part ambulance, part firetruck, part armored car. When their human allies joined them, Red Alert scrutinized their Mini-Con companions with great interest, as he had only heard of the diminutive robots in old war stories up until that point. Explosions emanating from nearby interrupted Red Alert's observations. The Decepticons were attacking the Autobots' base! The Autobots launched a counter-attack, with Red Alert deflecting a missile the Decepticon Demolishor aimed towards Optimus Prime. A stray shot from Megatron then caused a rockslide, prompting Hot Shot to leave the battlefront in order to keep the children out of harm's way. Red Alert reconvened with him afterwards, only to find that Hot Shot had gotten himself a Mini-Con partner! The children had recovered several Mini-Con panels that had been unearthed by the rock slide. One of the panels responded to Red Alert's presence, the robot within bonding with him mentally. The Mini-Con then transformed into an additional arm for Red Alert, prompting him to name his new partner “Longarm.” Rejoining the battle, Red Alert used Longarm to lift Demolishor off the ground and toss him at Megatron. Realizing they were outmatched, the Decepticons retreated, though they managed to steal away the remaining Mini-Con panels as they warped off-planet. The children were saddened that the Decepticons had managed to take off with Mini-Cons in tow, but the Autobots assured them that they had done everything they could, and joined them in a "circle of friendship." {{storylink|Transformers Armada: Race for the Mini-Con Robots|Race for the Mini-Con Robots}}

When Optimus Prime took to the field, Red Alert served as his dispatcher, alerting him via radio to mission objectives and giving him warnings.

As like the other playable Autobots, Red Alert fights the Decepticons and their army of [[Decepticlone]]s through various location including Amazon, Antarctic, Mid Atlantic, Deep Amazon, Alaska, Decepticons' Starship, Pacific Island, and eventually merged with all the [[Mini-Con]]s which form the [[Matrix Cannon]], and ultimately defeats [[Unicron]] and saves [[Cybertron (planet)|his home planet]].

He is accompanied by [[Longarm (Armada)|Longarm]], his [[Mini-Con]] partner, who also enables Red Alert to [[Powerlinx]].

Based on his specs, Red Alert has the highest skills of all (Despite this, it's safe to assume that he's [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|less popular]]). He has less Mini-Con slots too.

Placing his partner [[Longarm (Armada)#Toys|Longarm]] (or any other Mini-Con) onto the [[Powerlinx]] plug on his lightbar and pushing it forward triggers flashing LED lights and a voice chip that proclaims "RED-A-LERT!

Pulling the Mini-Con back, on the other hand, releases a spring-loaded missile launcher that flips out from his roof and into place over his hood, accompanied by an electronic firing noise. This weapon fires a missile with a hinged grappling claw. Placing a Mini-Con on his hood plug causes his grill to spring open, revealing a pressure-firing disc launcher that fires a single projectile when the Mini-Con is pulled back, also accompanied by a "rat-tat-tat" firing sound effect.

:In robot mode, Red Alert retains use of both of these gimmicks, with the missile launcher now flipping all the way over his left shoulder; the launcher can also be removed and used as a hand-held weapon. Instead of having a left hand, he instead sports a [[5 mm post|5 mm peg-hole]] in his wrist, an attachment point for one of two translucent red "blasters" that are stored in the door-panel on his right leg. (He is most often depicted in fiction with the single-barrel attachment.) The panel of his left leg, meanwhile, unfolds into a Mini-Con repair bay with a flip-up translucent red monitor screen and a plug for mounting Mini-Con patients.

:The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''Legend of the Microns'' version of "Ratchet" has some slight [[Paint operation|paint application]] differences from the [[Hasbro]] version, mainly a "separated" Autobot insignia and the addition of dark blue paint on his kneecaps. His electronic sound effects are also slightly altered, removing the "RED-A-LERT!" portion and just going right to the siren sounds.

:This mold was later used to make ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' Sam's Club-exclusive [[Prowl (Energon)#VsStarscream|Prowl]] and [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|2007 movie line]] [[Inferno (Movie)#Toys|Inferno]].

:Released in the fifth and final wave of ''Armada'' Max-Cons, this [[redeco]] of Red Alert, depicting him in his powered-up "Powerlinx" form seen in the "Unicron Battles" portion of the ''Armada'' cartoons, makes him predominantly orange with white stripes and [[tampograph]]ed "RESCUE" lettering, giving him a more beach-rescue vibe. He retains all of the same gimmicks and sounds as the previous version of the mold, and comes with a redecoed Longarm.

:The Takara version has some slight paint application differences, mainly additional metallic red paint on his arms (notably his right hand), and the removal of the "EMERGENCY" text on his hood.

**''Takara release date'': [[February 10]], [[2005]]
**''Accessories'': Clamp attachment, hammer attachment, Earth Cyber Key
**''Cyber Key Coe'': '''d26w'''
:''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' Red Alert transforms into a {{w|Dodge Magnum}} emergency vehicle. Plugging a [[Cyber Key]] into the back of his car mode causes two rear side-panels to pop out and reveal two spring-forward non-firing blasters. This gimmick is retained in robot mode, where they become over-shoulder blasters. He features an unusual transformation sequence where both the front and rear halves of the [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] come together to form his legs. His hood halves open to reveal storage space for extra tools (a hammer-head and an opening claw) that can be attached onto his left arm blaster. Later releases of the mold had slight indents made in the leg pieces to allow them to clip together better.

:The Takara ''Galaxy Force'' version of this toy lacks the gold paint on the robot mode shoulders, and has lighter blue paint than the Hasbro release. And of course, the Cyber Key lacks the Hasbro version's [[Cyber Key Codes|Cyber Key Code]].

:This mold was later used to make [[Cannonball (Cybertron)#Toys|Cannonball]], the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|live-action movie-verse]] [[Crankcase (Movie)#Toys|Crankcase]], and ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Kup (G1)/toys#Timelines|Kup]].

**''Takara ID number'': '''GC-21'''

**''Accessories'': Large missile, projectile, spring-loaded shield/multi-tool arm, clamp attachment, hammer attachment, Cybertron Autobot Cyber Key
**''Cyber Key Code'': '''up0t'''
:An upgraded, all-new tooling of Red Alert, "[[Cybertron Defense Team (Cybertron)|Cybertron Defense]]" Red now transforms into a cross between a Russian {{w|R-400 Oka}} mobile ballistic missile launcher and a {{w|BTR-90}} armored personnel carrier. The left side of his vehicle mode has a flip-up non-firing double-blaster, which can also be "used" in robot mode. Inserting a Cyber Key into the rear of the missile rack splits the missile open, activates lights and an electronic beeping sound, and exposes the inner spring-loaded projectile-launching translucent "laser cannon". When the missile itself is "launched"/slid off, it lights up and plays a sound of it taking off.

:In robot mode, Red Alert finally has two normal robotic hands, and he comes with a shield that can be mounted on either arm. When a Key is inserted into the top of the shield, a cannon flips out, and its barrel tip can be equipped with several tools stored in his shins (a spring-loaded hammer-head or a gripping claw), emulating his old multi-tool arm. He has two (nonfunctional) Mini-Con hardpoints in vehicle mode, and two ''different'' hardpoints in robot mode.

:The Takara release features additional red details on the missile, paints the gripping claw blue, and replaces the greenish-blue border on the Cyber Key with silver.

:This mold was also used to make the ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Timelines|Darksyde Megatron]] and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Countdown (G1)#Universe (2008)|Countdown]].

:[[Hasbro]] copy writer [[Forest Lee]] confirms that the ''Cybertron'' [[Tiny Tins]] exclusives were originally planned with two different [[Race Mini-Con Team|Race Team]] decos in mind, hence the backstory involving one version of the Team being from an alternate universe and the Tins' decos showing the Mini-Cons in silhouette rather than the normal full-color images. He could not confirm what the then-chosen decos were, however, but it seems likely they were re-packs of the two schemes from ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'', given the use of "[[Race Mini-Con Team#RoadAssault|Road Assault Team]]".

**''Accessories:'' Stand
:A three-inch tall non-transforming PVC figurine of Red Alert was released in the ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]''-specific ninth wave of Takara's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. The figure came in both full color and metallic silver "pewter" variants, available at an equal ratio one each in every case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

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

**''Act'': '''10'''
**''Accessories:'' Stand
:A rare "[[chase figure|Secret Figure]]" of Red Alert in his Cybertronian body, as seen in the [[Metamorphosis (Armada)|second episode]] of the ''Armada'' cartoon, was available in the tenth and final ''Super Collection Figure'' wave. He has a new torso and backpack, and the vehicle [[kibble]] on his limbs has been removed. It could only be found in one out of every ten cases, taking the place of the full-color version of the [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Optimus Prime Super Mode]] figure from that assortment.

:All of the Act-10 SCF figurines use considerably softer, more rubbery plastic than the previous assortments. This leads to some difficulty in keeping some figures standing, plus the pewter versions can be extremely hard to peg back together, as the pegs will just squash rather than pop into the sockets. This also leads to a greater risk of mushroom-pegs tearing on the pewter versions if the paint sticks together within the sockets.

==Notes==
*According to Aaron Archer, Red Alert's design was mostly inspired by the ''Power Rangers'' lines being developed at the time, with a head sculpt inspired by RoboCop.<ref>{{instagram|His design is influenced by #robocop and #powerrangers / I am a huge fan of the Robocop and ed 209 designs and i loved the movie in high school. but the bigger influence was power rangers and japanese suit shows. / I was in japan a lot the summer of 2001 and looking at all the Japanese brands while there. A new ultraman and Ranger show hit along w a few others and Red Alert was created during that influence.|https://www.instagram.com/p/Buhw4GXHcQX/|Aaron Archer|2019|03|03}}</ref>
**As seen in concept art published in the ''[[Legends of the Microns Year Book 2003]]'', Aaron Archer sketched a wide range of headsculpt ideas for Red Alert (designated with the placeholder name '''Rescue Extreme''').<ref>[https://twitter.com/walruslaw/status/1300537166674767873 Concept art scan from @walruslaw, 31 August 2020]</ref><ref>{{instagram|I love show reference books and #perfectguide books ,fun to be part of the #transformersarmada version.|https://www.instagram.com/p/BvyqdB3n3Wn/|Aaron Archer|2019|04|03}}</ref> A common theme is a large siren perched atop his cranium, which is downplayed in the final look.
*The ''Armada'' Red Alert toy's "WOO WOO WOO" sound effect has since become a famous in-joke within the ''Transformers'' [[fandom]]. For a short time, it also became something of an impromptu chant among fans at ''Transformers'' conventions. Reportedly, at the start of the [[OTFCC 2003]] [[Hasbro]] Panel, several fans started chanting "WOO WOO WOO WOO!" to the initial confusion of Hasbro designer [[Aaron Archer]], until he realized what was occurring.
*As a result of Hasbro using the "red cross on white backdrop" symbol on the original ''Armada'' Red Alert toy, the [[Red Cross|International Committee of the Red Cross]], who have the symbol [[trademark]]ed and ''vigorously'' protect their claim to it, took Hasbro to court over the use of their symbol. This in turn resulted in the symbol not only being dropped from the toy's "Powerlinx" [[redeco]], but also having to be removed from the then-current [[Dreamwave Productions]] comics.<ref name="redcross">[http://www.lilformers.com/blog/2012/04/05/dreamslaves-4-red-crosses/ "DREAMSLAVES #4: Red Crosses"] by Matt Moylan.</ref>
*The x-ray image of his inner structure seen in the end credits of ''Legends of the Microns'' shows him having a pair of normal eyes behind his visor.
*According to the [[Transformers (PS2)|''Armada'' PlayStation 2 game]] instruction booklet, Red Alert's ''Armada'' body has the following statistics:
**Mass: 3,838 lbs
**Robot height: 19' 8"
**Robot top speed: 37 mph
**Vehicle height: 7' 3"
**Vehicle top speed: 155 mph
**Vehicle power: 450 hp @ 6600 rpm
*His Cybertron Defense toy's Cyber Key Code info contains a reference to [[The Transformers: The Movie|the '86 movie]]. According to the info, Hot Shot had his arm torn off during the battle with the Scrapmetals. Red Alert mended the arm better than it had been before, even fixing a bad rotator cuff. This references [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]'s repair of [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] on [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]] ("You even got rid of a nasty burr on my rotator").

The Transformers (cartoon)/cast

2021-12-25T19:05:10Z

CementB mixerB:

{{Nav-G1cartoon}}

As ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)|The Transformers]]'' progressed over its four main seasons, characters would often come and go in the blink of an eye, while others stuck around for the majority of the show's length. As this show was made [[to sell toys]] to the audience, new characters were constantly being introduced to keep relevant products on-screen. For the purpose of this list, we have included every named Transformer, computer/robot, recurring human and alien in the cartoon, using concurrent names and terminology or, in the lack of any other option, names given after the fact via [[retcon]]. As with other cast lists for American ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' shows, only the characters' English voice actors are listed and excludes any stand-in voices. Rather than listing every single character that appeared per season, each season's list only has newly introduced characters present.

==Season 1==
[[File:Autobot roll call-panning shot stitched-MTMTE1.jpg|centre|thumb|upright=2.8|"Attention, Autobots! Your next mission is.... Hang on where's the other ''eight'' and that ''[[Hauler|other guy]]'' gone?"]]
{{note|For more on the season itself, See: ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)#Season 1]]''.}}

The first season primarily revolves around the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' and ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' crews after landing on [[Earth]] and waking up in [[1984]]. As the season progressed, the introduction of toys from the [[1985]] lineup started to make their appearance. This season also had recurring humans working alongside the Autobots and Decepticons.

{{note|For more on the season itself, See: ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)#Season 2]]''.}}

The second season greatly expanded the cartoon's cast and focused more heavily on character-driven stories, with many characters getting their own "spotlight" episodes. With the new additions of figures sold in the [[1985]] lineup of toys, it practically doubled the original amount of characters that were seen in the previous season.

[[1986]] was the year [[Hasbro]] decided to wipe a clean slate and advertise the new molds that they had solely created. Thus the movie was made, killing off a lot of older season one characters in the then-future year of [[2005]], in order to pave the way for their new products that were hitting store shelves. The new cast of characters introduced in the film also became the focus for future stories. The third season, set mostly in [[2006]], added even more characters on top of the movie's cast, with the addition of [[Titan (group)|Citybots]], new [[combiner]]s, new [[Mini Vehicle|Minibots]] and more [[Triple Changer]]s.

Being only three episodes long, most characters from the [[1987]] lineup that were not the main focus of the story, only received roughly 90 seconds of screen time each, as the introduction of the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] and [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]] were this season's sole focus.

{{note|For more on the season itself, See: ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)#Season 5]]''}}
The final season of ''The Transformers'' was simply made up of edited reruns of the previous four seasons and ''The Transformers: The Movie'', with a "new" [[title sequence]] and live-action [[commercial bumper]]s and bookending segments, featuring [[Tommy Kennedy]] and an animatronic/stop-motion puppet of [[Powermaster]] Optimus Prime. Along with Powermaster Optimus Prime, several other [[1988]] characters featured in the toyline are only seen in the title sequence, via clips taken from [[commercial]]s or name-dropped by either of the live-action characters during the bookending segments.

==Notes==
*A lot of characters went unnamed during production and generally had reference names used for the animators and writers to go by when creating the episodes. Some of these names became public knowledge through old scripts and storyboards, while others were sometimes credited using those names for any dialogue they may have had.
**Over the subsequent years, many writers of comics and books had taken to using some of the unnamed characters in their stories while [[Retcon|retroactively]] giving them proper names and even in some cases, personalities, far beyond what was shown on screen. Among the unnamed characters, there were some that were given fan-names and even [[subgroup]]s like the [[Rainmaker]]s, that had these fan-names later become canon through [[Hasbro]]/[[TakaraTomy|Takara]], [[Ask Vector Prime]] and media produced through [[BotCon]] and the [[Transformers Collectors' Club]].

Talk:Jhiaxus (G2)

2021-12-25T17:05:32Z

CementB mixerB:

==Go-Jhiaxus==
Should mention be made of the fact that a Jhiaxus-based recolor of [[Silver-Bot|Go-Bots Silver-Bot]] was in the plans for OTFCC 2003? I think it was proposed as a dinner exclusive. Anyone have more hard info?
: That's pretty much it. Glen proposed it, and then [[Dan Khanna]] said no, because only #wiigii! would appreciate it. We hate Dan. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 03:53, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
I think this SHOULD be mentioned under an Unreleased Toys section, but I'm having trouble getting a sold citation anywhere. Like, was it mentioned at an organizer's panel? --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 13:08, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

==Categorizing==
Why is he in Category:Decepticons when it was emphasized that the Cybertronian Empire was its own standalone faction, and we treat them as such at [[Cybertronian Empire]]?

:His RiD toy was sold as a Decepticon. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 04:14, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

::So RiD Jhiaxus is "really" a G1 multiverse character with another continuity's brand logo like Supreme Primal and not a RiD universe counterpart like the G1 and RiD Ultra Magni? --[[User:Rotty|Rotty]] 04:19, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

:From the very page you're asking about...
::''"Unicron abducted Jhiaxus and stripped him of his rank and power. Though he once again wears the brand of an ordinary Decepticon, he still nurses a hatred towards Autobot and Decepticon alike. They are all, of course, unevolved, inferior throw-backs. This bias forces him to work alone."''
:Personally, I feel that this cannot be THE same Jhiaxus as the one from the G2 comic, what with the devoured-by-Swarm and all, and is rather an alternate-universe incarnation who should have his own page, as Universe Tankor, Obsidian, and others should. -- M Sipher, who can't seem to stay logged in for more than a page. What the FUCK, wiki?

::I'm in agreement with this. Let's split Jhiaxus accordingly. --[[User:Rotty|Rotty]] 04:39, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
::Unicron could have just pulled his spark out from the brink of death, that's totally within his power. [[User:85.195.123.22|85.195.123.22]] 22:51, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

:::I've actually never been clear on why those Universe guys get articles of their own, if they're supposed to be the same characters, just plucked from alternate timelines. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 04:54, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
:::I believe it's because they could, by virtue of existing in 'Universe', so-exist alongside a separate version of themselves. (Like Fireflight does.) In this case however, his bio is [http://www.emopanda.com/tmp/JHIAXUS.JPG so damn explicit] that he's the G2 version that we left it in his G1 entry. (We even see him in his G2 body prior to reformatting IIRC.)
:::We '''should''' have a category for the Cybertronian Empire faction though. There's jsut a few characters, but there's also warships, ranks et al. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 05:28, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

:Personally I feel that cartoon Optimus Prime '''cannot''' be the same one from the comics.
:Your logic sucks Siph. '''They''' both go under the [[Optimus Prime (G1)]] entry. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 05:33, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
::Universe also gives us a Brawn who was yanked out of the G2 comics right before he died. I hope we aren't giving him his own article! If we can put 30 disparate versions of every single other character on a single page, so long as they're from the same continuity family, why can't we have two near-identical versions of Jhiaxus? It's not like the Universe version officially got a new name, like [[Galvatron II]]. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 23:51, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

== IDW Jhiaxus same guy??? ==
What we know about IDW Jhiaxus: He's an ancient '''Autobot''' and theoretical strategist who invented the gestalt process. That's not really anything like the Jhiaxus from G2. The only connection I see at all is that both were created by Furman. Granted that fact suggests that there may indeed be a connection going forward, but we have zero evidence for it so far.
:Actually, he predates the Autobot faction I believe, (As evidenced as Galvatron mentions him predating factions). As an aside: Is Jhiaxus shown in Spotlight Optimus? Or merely a textual reference? --[[User:Tindalos|Tindalos]] 20:44, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
::Jhiaxus is only name-dropped, and he predates the war. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 20:55, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Predating the Autobots is meaningless, Sunstorm and Ricochet are clones in Dreamwave but not other continuities.
:I'm going to remove him from category Autobots though as it's a nonsense - he's not an Autobot in G2, IDW or as a toy [[User:Emvee|Emvee]] 12:57, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
::If IDW Jhiaxus isn't an Autobot, then Nova Prime shouldn't be listed as one, either. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] 14:37, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
:::Technically, he kinda is, if the usual Transformers history of "Everyone are Autobots until Decepticons split off" holds up. Megatron Origin, IIRC supports this by having Autobot symbols practically everywhere, even before Megatron forms the Decepticons. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 14:50, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
::::Technically, sure, but that can't be our criteria for listing categories here. Otherwise EVERY G1 Decepticon created before the war in any continuity should also be listed as an Autobot: Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave, Ravage, etc. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] 17:53, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::Yeah, I'm definitely not suggesting that. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 18:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::To be fair, the Autobots in Megatron Origin seem to be a police force, not something that encompasses everyone. Se Jhiaxus as an Autobot doesn't make a lot of sense to me. [[User:Jeep!|Jeep!]] 18:52, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
::::::So should Galvatron be in Category: Autobots as well, since he was part of Nova Prime's crew? Also, I'm re-reading Megatron:Origin (gah! thanks a bunch!) and there *aren't* Autobot symbols everywhere. Every time they appear they're linked to Sentinel Prime's security force (and to a lesser extent, the senate) but they're not worn by everyone at all - in fact there seem to be quite a mixture of insignias and factions att play there. Calling IDW Jhiaxus an Autobot is at best speculation, and categorising him as such is, as I said before, nonsense. [[User:Emvee|Emvee]] 20:55, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
::::::[edited to add] From Nova Prime's page - "It's unclear of when the Autobots evolved as a faction in the IDW-verse. Clearly, by Megatron: Origin, they were a police force working for the Senate. However, it's not known for sure if they existed during Nova Prime's era; therefore, Nova may not be an Autobot." Neither Nova nor Jhiaxus sport an insignia. I'm going to remove the category *again* because it's misleading.[[User:Emvee|Emvee]] 21:03, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

:Given how meticulously planned the references in the Spotlight titles have been, it's entirely likely we will have Jhiaxus in a later issue. Furman has been pretty good about not just name dropping so far, and the Ark crew ''are'' still around in some capacity.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]] 21:06, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
:He's a high ranking expansionist/supremacist who left Cybertron some time ago. What here doesn't jive with G2 Jhiaxus? [[User:Chip|Chip]] 00:24, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

== Forward-Swept Wings? ==

Jhiaxus' toy is a redeco of Jetstorm. Jetstorm has forward-swept wings in vehicle mode. The pic of his toy on this page has them swept back. Is this correct for the character? When he appeard in the Universe comic in this body, in vehicle mode, which way did his wings point? Or did he never appear in vehicle mode in this body? [[User:JW|JW]] 16:07, 7 April 2009 (EDT)

== Heh ==

Should we mention somewhere that his IDW design has holes in his crotch? --[[User:-Blackout-|-Blackout-]] 03:06, 2 August 2010 (EDT)

== Jhiaxus' weapons? ==

Could someone tell me at least 2 weapons that Jhiaxus has? I've been looking for about three hours and I haven't seen a single page that mentions him having weapons, just the two missiles on his RID Toy --[[User:Metroplex|Metroplex]] 16:53, 29 September 2011 (EDT)
:Jhiaxus only had one toy and I don't recall him ever using a weapon in the comics. So... what weapons are you looking for? [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 17:04, 29 September 2011 (EDT)

== Which Jhiaxus is in "A Flash Forward"? ==

How can Jhiaxus in "A Flash Forward" have a body-type that would not exists until thousands of years later in the Beast Era? The only way that would work is if this Jhiaxus is the same one from the Universe War which is the original one given a new body for his Spark. But the Fun Pub story acts as if this Jhiaxus been around forever in the Wings/G1 Cartoon timeline. Also in the "Theft of the Golden Disk" which takes place during the Beast Era we see a statue of Jhiaxus in his original Generation 2 body which loosely fits within the G1 Cartoon timeline. Yeah, I know the real world story is that Fun Pub are just trying to sell toys but which Jhiaxus is this? [[Special:Contributions/76.202.13.250|76.202.13.250]] 03:27, 1 June 2012 (EDT) More-G1
:He is "Wings Universe" Jhiaxus. This is presumably an already existing body type in the Wings Universe, which is a copy of G1 cartoon with subtle modifications. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 03:53, 1 June 2012 (EDT)
::I see and that's the bad part about this whole thing, I love the continuation of the story-line but it is weak when the majority of the time it is like it was years ago. Just to sell a toy you modify continuity to get away with it. [[Special:Contributions/76.202.13.250|76.202.13.250]] 04:03, 1 June 2012 (EDT)More-G1
:::Well, the writer is just trying to "cash in" on the popularity of Axiom Nexus and SG stories where older toys were repurposed. He's just not giving it as much thought... --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 04:29, 1 June 2012 (EDT)
One, nowhere was it said that Vehicon body-types were brand new inventions of [[Megatron (BW)|BM Megatron]]. They could have been around for eons. And two, Jhiaxus is based on the [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]] toy, which has only a passing similarity to the Jetstorm that actually appeared in ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Machines]]''. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] 08:19, 1 June 2012 (EDT)

I don't have enough facepalms for this. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 11:54, 1 June 2012 (EDT)

== RID Jhiaxus should get his own page ==

I think RID Jhiaxus should get his own wiki page. For one thing, we're not not sure if he and G2 Jhiaxus are the same. Although the RID version of jhiaxus does appear in the Wings Universe, but I think that's just a repurpose. {{unsigned|Crossblades}}
:No, 3H had a bio that placed that toy squarely as the same G2 guy. --[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 17:07, 5 August 2015 (EDT)
:: http://www.seibertron.com/database/character.php?version_id=2962 --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] ([[User talk:Xaaron|talk]]) 17:34, 5 August 2015 (EDT)

== Labeling of RID toy ==

What should we say on this page about how AVP established RID Jhiaxus with the RID toy this year? Everyone reasonably associated the RID toy with G2 Jhiaxus for 12 years. Does one of the Jhiaxuses now get labeled as "repurposing" the RID toy? [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 00:37, 23 September 2015 (EDT)
:Under our current system, it seems like we should have had the RID Jhiaxus page all along, and the use of the toy for G2 Jhiaxus is the repurpose. RID Jhiaxus was just such a non-entity, and its toy was repurposed so immediately that we didn't think about it. --[[User:Ascendron|Ascendron]] ([[User talk:Ascendron|talk]]) 00:43, 23 September 2015 (EDT)

==Legacy==

Given that Jhiaxus' voyager class toy Legacy toy has been confirmed, shouldn't we add it now?

'''Battleslash''' is ''very'' egotistical and enjoys tormenting Autobots alongside his partner-in-crime, [[Roadtrap (POTP)|Roadtrap]]. The two can combine to form the [[Duocon]] [[Battletrap (G1)|Battletrap]].

When [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] increased recruitment in the [[Ascenticon Guard]], Battleslash was among the new members. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: All Fall Down|All Fall Down}} Battleslash was later part of a patrol of the conquered [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], discussing with Roadtrap the rumors that [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] may take over the Decepticon Guard. {{storylink|War World: Awakenings|Awakenings}} He was part of a large army deployed to the [[Sea of Rust]] under [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]]'s authority to capture the [[Enigma of Combination]]. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust II}}

*'''Battleslash''' (Legends Class, 2018)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''PP-29'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[September 29]], 2018'''

:Part of the second [[wave]] of ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' Legends Class figures, Battleslash transforms from robot to helicopter and back. He can also form the upper half of [[Battletrap (G1)#Generations|Battletrap]]. Sadly, he cannot hold his rotor blade as a sword as depicted in his [[package art]].

:Like most Legends Class figures from the ''Power of the Primes'' subline, Battleslash can carry a [[Prime Master]] (or [[Titan Master]]) while in vehicle mode. In his case, they attach at his tail, with barely enough clearance to avoid being struck by his helicopter blades.

:As a nice extra gimmick, he is compatible with [[War for Cybertron: Siege|''Siege'']] [[Flywheels]]'s leg components.

:Battleslash and the rest of his wave were released at retail in Singapore, and subsequently in the United Kingdom, the Philippines, and later the United States, before Hasbro even acknowledged their existence, let alone solicited them to online retailers.
