'''Drone jets''' were unmanned aerial combat vehicles created through the collaboration of [[Ali (Sunbow)|Ali]] and [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] as part of a ploy to control the skies above the [[Middle East]]. Evidently, they aren't very effective.

==Fiction==
===''The Transformers'' cartoon===
As part of a deal with the [[Decepticon]]s, Ali and his henchmen embarked on an ambitious campaign to disassemble aircraft and smuggle them piece-by-piece to Megatron's base of operations. Under the supervision of [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]], these components became the Drone Jets. While investigating this mysterious crime, [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]] and [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]] smuggled themselves in, and managed to contact the other [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] (sans [[Fireflight (G1)|Fireflight]]) to rendezvous with them at the base. In the ensuing battle, the nine completed drones were hastily activated to back up Blast Off, [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]], and [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]], with each Decepticon assuming charge of three. Despite their numerical superiority, they were destroyed rather easily thanks to their presumably low intelligence and fragility, necessitating the use of the [[Giant Purple Griffin]]. {{storylink|Aerial Assault}}

Combaticonenjoyerguy: changed image for the toy; I made an image that displayed the gimmicks/features described in the description such as the figure wielding the missile as a sword, the spark crystal, and the deployed wing launchers. Also corrected some desc info

{{disambig3|Scourge}}
:''Scourge is a [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] from the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

[[File:Scourge-bw-packageart.jpg|right|upright=1.4|thumb|"My cousins got to plague ancient Egypt and all I got was this stupid toy gig..."]]
'''Scourge''' is psychotic. Scourge specializes in bio-warfare. Scourge is butt-ugly. 'Nuff said.

==Fiction==
===''Timelines''===
{{voiceactor|[[Brian Orms]] (English)}}

Scourge, disguised as the [[Autobot]] [[Ricochet (Timelines)|Ricochet]], interrogated the captured [[Tripredacus Council|Tripredacus]] agent [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]]. Upon determining that Flamewar could be trusted not to betray her employers, he invited her into the organization of the Predacon insurrectionist [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]. She accepted. {{storylink|Intimidation Game}}

===2006 IDW ''Beast Wars'' continuity===
[[File:BWGatherScourgeWhatsLeft.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4| Almost as disfigured as Scourge himself.]]
Scourge was among the Predacons recruited by [[Magmatron]] following his arrival on ancient Earth, from one of the many [[protoform]]s scattered across the planet. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 2|The Gathering #2}}

Sent to find Maximals out southwest, Scourge ventured into a swamp along with [[Transquito]], [[Insecticon (BW)|Insecticon]], [[Retrax]], and [[Powerpinch]]. He was very happy to be able to fire onto unsuspecting prey. Unfortunately, they encountered the territorial [[Mutant (BW)|Mutants]], who proceeded to beat the slag out of them. Being the only two Predacons standing after witnessing Powerpinch being dismembered, Scourge and Insecticon quickly turned abdomens, noting the area as "clear with nothing to report." {{storylink|The Gathering issue 3|The Gathering #3}}

He later accompanied [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] and many other Predacons in seeking out [[Razorbeast]] and his forces at the Maximal lair. They managed to surround the Maximals, and he prepared for the final blow...
[[File:BWGatherScourgeFight.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|...to a nice restaurant and buy them dinner!]]
...only to have his right wing torn off by [[Bantor (BW)|Bantor]] (and left behind when he ran off) during a large battle between the Predacon and Maximal forces when [[Torca (BW)|Torca]] burst onto the scene with reinforcements. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 4|The Gathering #4}}

The Predacons didn't give up so easily, though, and Scourge later participated in another attack on the Maximal lair. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 1|The Ascending #1}} As part of the flying insect squad, he fought well against the ground-bound Maximals... until his wings were broken again and he got kicked in the chest by [[Mach Kick]]. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 2|The Ascending #2}}

The battle was interrupted by the arrival of [[Latolata|Rartorata]], a minion of [[Shokaract]] sent to destroy both the Predacons and Maximals. After firing at this new foe from the ground for a bit, Scourge took to the air again and helped several other fliers wrestle him to the ground. Shortly afterwards, he was deemed fit enough to return to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and help defeat Shokaract himself. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 3|The Ascending #3}} Led by [[Noctorro]], Scourge participated in an aerial attack on Shokaract, and was blasted out of the air almost immediately for his efforts. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 4|The Ascending #4}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
'''Skurge''' (though he liked to spell his name "Scourge" like [[Scourge (G1)|the infamous Decepticon]]) {{storylink|Derailment}} was on the Predacon team in a monumental match of the [[Games (competition)|Games]], which was interrupted by [[Lio Convoy]]'s assassination of [[Supersonic]] and call for an uprising against the [[Builder of Cybertron|Builders]]. {{storylink|Broken Windshields}} He remained behind with some teammates, declaring a victory for the Predacons. {{storylink|Head Games}}

Subsequently, he became part of Queen [[Rage (BW)|Rage]]'s army during the [[Grand Uprising]]. When the [[Vehicon Apocalypse]] came, Skurge and [[Shutterbug]] were deployed to scout the infested [[Proximax]]. Shutterbug was assimilated by the [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]s, with Skurge barely escaping with his life, forcing Rage to take the Vehicon threat seriously. {{storylink|Derailment}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
Scourge was one of [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]]'s Maximals. When the Maximals invaded Cybertron, he was one of the many warriors who wound up battling [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]]. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 6: Unforgivable|Unforgivable}}

{{toydesigner|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist), [[Doug Hart]] (packaging artist)}}

: Released in the second wave of fourth-year ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' Deluxe figures, Scourge transforms into a monstrous [[Transmetal 2]] locust. His beast mode does not clearly homage any singular species of locust, but instead combines several of their common traits, including elongated rear legs and a brightly-spotted abdomen and wings. His [[spark crystal]] is in his left [[alternate mode]] eye. His wings swing forward by pushing a plunger-mechanism in his [[beast mode]] thorax: the left wing will launch a spring-loaded missile, however the other wing merely holds one for storage. The missiles have a blade-like appearance and can be held as swords in the [[robot mode]]'s right hand.

: Like the rest of the Transmetal 2 line, Scourge is heavily shaped by asymmetrical detailing, particularly on the most prominent features of two his modes. For example, his organic compound locust eye is mirrored by a tessellating, hexagonal dome eye which is deliberately fractured to serve as a grip for lifting the eye and revealing his spark crystal. Unfortunately, Scourge is susceptible to flaking on his orange, 'transmetalised' chrome parts.

: This toy was sold in Japan as an "import", in Hasbro packaging with a Japanese sticker for legal information, exclusive to [[Toys"R"Us]].

: ''Sentinels are [[Transformers Reaction Force|T.R.F.]]-aligned [[drone]]s from the [[Transformers: The Last Knight (franchise)|The Last Knight]] portion of the [[movie continuity family]].''
[[File:TLK TRF SentinelConcept.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.66|May or may not belong to GDI]]
Large enough to take on Autobots and Decepticons toe-to-toe, '''Sentinels''' are automated bipedal tanks used by the [[Transformers Reaction Force|T.R.F.]] to patrol areas that are off-limits to civilians due to Cybertronian activity.

==Fiction==
===''The Last Knight'' film===
{{voiceactor|uncredited (English)}}
While patrolling a "no-go zone", two sentinels close in on four intruding children and warn them that they're trespassing; however [[Izabella]] appears out of nowhere to help, slinging bottles of Energon which tricks one of the sentinels into shooting the other. [[Sqweeks]] wraps a cable around the legs of the remaining sentinel and it topples over allowing the kids time to get away, however one of the sentinels shoots Sqweeks and blows his arm off, preventing him from being able to transform. A third sentinel pursues the children as they flee towards [[Canopy|shelter]], but it is destroyed by [[Cade Yeager]] and Bumblebee as they arrive to rescue the children. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}
