'''''Transformers: Generations''''' is a branding applied to several collector-oriented toylines. The name was first introduced for a specific line of figures launched in 2010, but as the amount of collector-focused product released by Hasbro has increased over time it has become more of a generic label, used consistently since mid-2012 across multiple different series. ''Generations'' was predated by the earlier 2006 ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' and 2008 [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'']] lines, along with much of the 2010 [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'']] line. These toylines all share a focus on celebrating the history of the brand, creating new toys of older ''Transformers'' [[character]]s (usually from [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]], but occasionally later series).

==Overview==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The initial '''''Transformers: Generations''''' line featured only [[Size class|Deluxe Class]] toys, and included both characters from the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' video game, and “modernised G1” figures in the spirit of the previous ''Classics'' and ''Universe'' toylines. In a first for the franchise, the [[Drift (G1)#Generations|Drift]] toy and its [[Blurr (G1)#Generations|Blurr]] [[retool]] were based directly on designs created by [[Guido Guidi]] for [[2005 IDW continuity|IDW's comic series]]. The earlier waves of figures sported advertising for [[Hub Network|The Hub]] or ''War for Cybertron''.

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

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

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

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

In mid-2013, ''Generations'' was rebranded as '''''Transformers Generations: Thrilling 30''''' as part of Hasbro's ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' anniversary campaign, which saw the line return to the ''Classics''/''Universe''-style updates of older characters. This refresh was notable for introducing close ties with [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''Transformers'' material–many toys were based on designs from comics, and for the US market,<ref name="region">Australia, New Zealand, and Hasbro's Asian markets typically get toys in whatever format is also used for the United States. The markets that traditionally get multilingual packaging are Canada, Latin America, and Europe, which meant no comic books for ''Thrilling 30'' and ''Combiner Wars''. See the images to the right for a comparison.</ref> every Deluxe figure was packaged with a comic issue. The format of Legends Class was also changed, now including a vaguely ''Cyberverse'' Commander-sized figure with a smaller, triple-changing partner. ''Thrilling 30'' saw two new size classes introduced to the line – 2013 featured the huge Titan Class [[Metroplex (G1)#Generations|Metroplex]] figure, whilst 2014 debuted Leader Class with [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Generations|Jetfire]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===''Studio Series'' (2018–)===
{{nav-studio}}
[[File:Studio-Series-Voyager-Long-Haul-Box.jpg|thumb|42 ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Voyager Class Long Haul]]
First revealed at [[Toy Fair]] [[Toy Fair 2018|2018]], '''''Transformers Generations: Studio Series''''', a new subline underneath the ''Generations'' banner that acts as a celebration of over ten years of live-action movies, with characters from every movie represented, variants included. It also coincided with ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', the sixth film in the [[live-action film series]]. All figures come with a cardboard backdrop depicting a notable scene from their respective movie. Backdrops from separate figures representing the same scene are designed to be displayed side by side. With rough robot mode [[scale]] as a line-wide goal, each figure is sized in relation to other toys, even in the same [[size class]]. In 2021's ''Studio Series'' started to introduce "Generation 1" characters to the line; featuring figures based on characters from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', in celebration of the film's 35th anniversary. These figures feature a different set of ID numbers to the "standard" line, with the figures having an "86" in front of their base number starting at the number "01", to better differentiate them from the live-action film characters that the line was originally intended for.

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

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

===''Combiner Wars'' (2015–2016)===
{{anchor|Combiner Wars}}
{{nav-CombinerWars}}
[[File:CW Swindle pk US CALA EU.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Like most Deluxe Class figures, Swindle was available with a comic book in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, and Asia (left), and with a character card in Canada and Latin America (center) as well as Europe (right).]]
For 2015, the line was given another [[subline imprint]] titled '''''Transformers Generations: Combiner Wars''''', which saw Deluxe, Voyager, and some Legends figures able to form [[combiner]] robots. The format for Legends Class was changed once again, dropping the small partner figures of the ''Thrilling 30'' line.

The tradition of including IDW comic books with U.S.<ref name="region"/> Deluxes continued, whilst Legends, Voyagers, Leaders, and non-U.S.<ref name="region" /> Deluxes gained collector cards featuring art taken either from the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game, or simply the toy's [[package art]] (which doubles as the comic book cover for the U.S.<ref name="region" /> version). However, due to production schedule problems,<ref>[http://bwtf.com/events/toyfair2015/interview-part1 Interview with Jerry Jivoin at BWTF.com]</ref> Deluxe wave 1's initial U.S.<ref name="region" /> release featured the collector cards. Along with the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' line, ''Combiner Wars'' also heralded the return of [[multilingual packaging]] to the United States<ref name="region" /> market, now in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. The sole exception to this was the Deluxe figures packaged with comic books, which retained English-only packaging.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===''Cyber Series'' (2015–2018)===
{{anchor|PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian}}{{anchor|CS}}
Three years after a large batch of redecoes and retools had been created for Hasbro's Asian markets (with North American [[Toys"R"Us]] branches later picking them up as exclusives), Hasbro's Global Development Organization ("GDO") division was given a budget to design entirely new toys. Taking a cue from the [[tail-ender|tail-end]] ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#BH|Beast Hunters]]'' Deluxe and Voyager Class figures, most of these figures were based on smaller figures from the ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#RTS|Reveal the Shield]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Transformers: Prime]]'' ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Legion Class, ''Thrilling 30'' Legends Class, and [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'']] Legion Class ranges, with the designs upsized to roughly Voyager ("Battalion") and Leader ("Commander") height, keeping the transformation engineering mostly unchanged. These figures were released in Hasbro's Asian and Latin American markets in 2015, while a second wave was released two years later in 2017 to the original markets and exclusively to [[Walgreens]] in North America, followed by a third wave of the Battalion assortment in 2018. The second wave Commander Optimus Prime and Commander Bumblebee figures were also continuously released from 2018 throughout 2020 in North American markets via [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]]. Battalion Grimlock, Megatron, and original deco Commander Optimus Prime were never released to North America.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The toyline is a [[Walmart]] exclusive in the U.S. and Canada.

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

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

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

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

==Notes==
*Since the toys released during the first phase of the ''Generations'' toy line were all Deluxe-sized, the difficulty level bar on the front side of the packaging (which indicates how hard it is to convert a toy from mode to mode) denoted each individual toy's challenge level (Cybertronian Bumblebee, for example, is a Level 4, while Thrust is a Level 2).
*With the launch of the ''Generations'' line in 2010, the plastic-coated wire twist-ties that had been used to secure a toy in its packaging in past toylines were replaced with rattan tie-downs. The paper-based tie-downs were also used in the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] toy line and subsequent toy lines, until they themselves were replaced by tag pins near the middle of 2014. The tyranny of twist-ties has mercifully never sullied these toys.

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

Transformers Authentics

Creativeking: Added more info to the overview to add clarity

{{picsneeded|''Transformers Authentics'' figures}}
'''''Transformers Authentics''''' is a kid-oriented toyline launched in [[2017]], comprising simple figures developed for the discount market. The figures are based on the [[evergreen]] designs that Hasbro established in the same year. The line took the place of the [[market six]] Legion Class figures from 2015, which had the "authentic Transformers" disclaimer

The line features several distinct price points, though the assortments aren't identified on any packaging or instructions. The names used in this article come from retailer and distributor listings.

Authentics is not really a singular toyline, rather it is a catch all of any unbranded or [[evergreen]] toys or merchandise, as well as rereleases of older toys in unbranded packaging.

Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)

2024-07-10T06:28:17Z

Creativeking: /* Battle Call */

{{disambig2|the 2018 toyline based on the animated series|the 2011 cross-series toy gimmick system|Cyberverse (toyline)}}
{{nav-cyberverse}}
[[File:Cyberverse overview small.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|Who said that [[scale]] was a thing?]]
The '''''Transformers: Cyberverse''''' toyline continues the trend set by ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' of targeting the young demographic lying between the preschool and preteen audiences. The line focuses on "G1 inspired design" and new play patterns while featuring a diverse cast of legacy characters.

Announced in time for New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], ''Cyberverse'' brought with it the line-wide "Action Attack" [[gimmick]], with figures from most assortments including a unique "attacking" play feature. The line also reintroduces a line-wide [[size class]] naming system, following ''Robots in Disguise''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s erratic mix of designations, with the one exception being the returning 1-Step Changers. While Warrior Class remains similar to its ''Robots in Disguise'' counterpart, the new Scout, Ultra, and Ultimate Classes bear little correlation to previous assortments.

Starting in summer [[2019]], the toyline entered its first [[subline imprint]], '''''Power of the Spark''''', reflecting the second chapter of the television show. While 2018's "Action Attack" size classes and their unique gimmicks continued under this, the new "Spark Armor" play pattern added more size classes, involving accessory vehicles that could split apart into interchangeable armor. As of late 2019 official product reveals for ''Cyberverse'' almost entirely ceased, leaving fans unaware of new releases until they were found in stores or on online listings. Hasbro representatives at the time cited a lack of interest in the line from collectors as the reason for this. The developing COVID-19 pandemic probably didn't help this situation either as physical conventions where new toys would be spotted on display also came to a halt. This led to a great many surprises for fans as relatively obscure characters set to appear in the cartoon's third chapter were suddenly receiving new toys on shelves months before their on-screen debuts.

For [[2020]] the line was retitled as '''''Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures''''' (initially a subline imprint marked on a few figures as '''''Battle for Cybertron''''') though no reason was ever given for the rebranding. This assortment revamped Ultra and Ultimate Class figures, which now featured flip-up "Energon Armor" and accompanying weapons. Many of the figures for this year were now labeled with a "Cybertronian Mode" to tie-in with the show's story taking place solely on the Transformers' homeworld. This year the line also received the Deluxe Class, a more ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]''-esque subline of figures featuring [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] details and accessories, more complex transformations, and better [[articulation]]. The first wave also included pieces for a [[Maccadam]] build-a-bot figure. If that wasn't enough, 2020 also saw the introduction of the "Battle Call" gimmick, adding even more size classes to the line which featured voice activated electronic features.

After what seemed the end for ''Cyberverse'' after its creators stated that the show's third season was the finale, it did indeed continue into [[2021]] with the '''''Dinobots Unite''''' subline imprint, promoting the fourth season specials. Now going under the title ''"Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures"'' on all products, this subline introduced the rest of the [[Dinobot (Cyberverse)|Dinobots]] to join [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and focused on combining gimmicks and automatic conversion with the new "Roll & Combine" and "Roll N' Change" assortments. This continuation makes ''Cyberverse'' the longest-running cartoon tie-in toyline in recent memory. Packaging also followed that of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'', removing the plastic bubble and expanding the [[package art]].

==Toys==
{{Note|Continuing the trend set by ''Robots in Disguise'', many Cyberverse toys would see re-releases in later assortments in new packaging. This page lists each figure in the wave and subline it first appeared in.}}

===2018===
====Action Attack====
[[File:Cyberverse-Scout-Class-Slipstream.jpg|upright=1.33|thumb|Scout Class Slipstream and her sad, sad "alt" mode.]]
While a similar size to previous lines' "Scout Class" assortments, ''Cyberverse'' Scout Class figures possess the unique quirk of having only partial transformations, converting into hybrid robot/alt-mode forms in which their Action Attack gimmicks are activated as the final transformation step. Due to their simplicity, some figures' Action Attacks can also be activated in robot mode.

Initially, ''Robots in Disguise'' molds were reused for the entire first wave but following this, all 1-Step Changers are new molds, even if they reuse transformation schemes from older ones. Starting with Wave 3, they supported Action Attack gimmicks, though these are particularly basic.

''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class figures are broadly similar to the ''Robots in Disguise'' assortment of the same name, though with much less focus on articulation. Their Action Attacks are activated in robot mode as the final transformation step, although some figures can also activate it in alternate mode.

Similar to the previous 3-Step Changers, Ultra Class figures are roughly Voyager-sized with much more involved Action Attacks that generally deploy in their alternate mode.

Similar in size to a modern Leader Class figure, but significantly simpler, Ultimate Class figures feature Action Attacks specifically designed to be activated in both robot and alternate mode.

====Exclusives====
[[File:Cyberverse-Warrior-Thundercracker.jpg|thumb|250px|Warrior Class Thundercracker]]
Both Thundercracker and the Optimus Prime Battle Base Set were originally intended as [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusives, but due to the company's bankruptcy in the United States and several other countries in 2018, they were only released that way in markets that still ''have'' Toys"R"Us (which basically means Asia and Canada). In the United States, the Optimus Prime playset was instead available as a [[Walmart]] exclusive, while Thundercracker didn't show up until 2019, at the chains Go! Calendars, Tuesday Morning, and Ollie's.

====Spark Armor====
Added for the ''Power of the Spark'' rebranding, the Legends sized "Battle Class" figures include a drone-vehicle that disassembles to form interchangeable armor, connected via [[5 mm post|5 mm attachment points]].

The larger Deluxe-sized "Elite Class" figures come with a drone-vehicle that transforms in one step into add-on armor, rather than splitting into multiple pieces. These aren't compatible with the smaller Battle Class.

Ark Power Optimus Prime is the size of a Leader Class figure, and has battle armor which can be assembled into a ship resembling the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']].

===2020: ''Battle for Cybertron / Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures''===
====Action Attack====
Officially, the second Scout Class Bumblebee figure was slated to debut in a second wave of ''Power of the Spark''-branded Scout Class figures. However, that wave was ultimately never released, leaving a gap in the official wave numbering, and Bumblebee instead debuted in the wave that also included Wheeljack, in ''Bumblebee: Cyberverse Adventures''-branded packaging.

Ultra Class figures now uniformly feature flip-up Energon Armor as their Action Attack, deploying a translucent chestplate and mask from their back as a final transformation step when their weapon accessories are removed. While slightly smaller than previous Ultras, most now sport greater articulation.

Flip-up Energon Armor was also introduced to all Ultimate Class figures which now feature drastically reduced articulation and complexity in favour of a large auto-transforming mechanisms, officially labelled [[Automorph Technology|"Twist-N-Change"]].

====Deluxe Class====
Traditional Deluxe Class figures debuted at the same MSRP as the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'', aimed at older audiences and featuring similar elements, including 5 mm ports and [[Fire Blast effect]] parts. Figures released in Waves 1 - 4 have a piece of [[Maccadam#Cyberverse|Maccadam]] as a "[[Build a Figure]]", while Wave 5 figures omit those extra pieces altogether.

The "Battle Call" lineup makes use of voice-activated commands. The larger "Officer Class" deploy armor on command, while the "Trooper Class" features electronic lights. All figures feature Energon Armor.

====Exclusives====
''Cybertronian Villains'' focuses on well, villains to Cybertron! They were originally exclusive to Target in the US but made their way to other online retailers such as [[BigBadToyStore]]. The ''"Cybertronian Villains"'' branding was later used in ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise]]''.

''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' mostly goes for re-releases to represent ''Cyberverse'' in its multi-franchise umbrella, with the only exception so far being "Spark Armor" Bumblebee's smaller partner, a redecoed version of [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]]'s partner [[Trash Crash]]. In addition to the Spark Armor assortment, this segment of the toyline also includes a boxed set of four repacked Warrior Class figures – the packaging for which doesn't actually ''say'' "''Cyberverse''" anywhere, but we've put the set here for convenience.

====Deluxe Class====
Much like later waves of the previous year's Deluxe Class assortment, these toys feature no 'Build-A-Figure' accessories, which includes re-releases of older figures. Keeping in tune with the ''Kingdom''-style boxes of no plastic bubble and expanded packaging art, the plastic window was also removed.

====Roll & Combine====
[[File:Bumbleswoop-box.jpg|thumb|Roll & Combine Bumbleswoop]]
This series of two-packs features toys similar to the ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' "Crash Combiners", but much larger, involving simplified robots becoming halves of a combiner.

====Roll N' Change====
[[File:Cyberverse roll n transform optimus prime.jpg|thumb|Roll N' Change Optimus Prime]]
This new assortment is made up of large-scale figures, sold at a price point higher than the Ultimate Class, which feature automatic transformations to robot mode when the vehicle is rolled along a smooth surface, similar to the ''Generation 2'' [[Auto Roller (G2)|Autorollers]]. Each figure features snap-on Energon Armor parts and electronic lights and sounds.

====Smash Changers====
[[File:Cyberversetoy-SmashChangersOptimusPrime.jpg|right|thumb|Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star 
If I could get out of this place!]]
A [[rebranding|rebranded]] (pre-branded?) figure originally intended for the toyline accompanying the ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]'' film, the latter being delayed until 2023 forced Hasbro to release it under the ''Cyberverse'' branding instead.

===Tiny Turbo Changers===
''[[Tiny Turbo Changers]]'' is a line of [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] vinyl figures featuring characters from ''Cyberverse''. Despite them ostensibly being blind-bagged, it's possible to tell which figure you're getting thanks to a small clear window and embossed letter code on the reverse of the package.

The first Series barely made it to US retail, showing up at (some) [[Kmart]]s and later some grocery store chains during the holidays in 2019. Series 2 started to pop up in [[Target]]s in July 2020, while Series 3 was available in a few international markets (in some of them as early as late 2019), but has yet to be found in the United States. Series 4, however has been found in both Canada and the United States.

===Exclusives===
The first four waves of Deluxe Class figures were released in Japan under the name "'''Action Master'''" (Oh, the irony!). Originally regular releases with the "TCV" ID number, they were moved to being [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusives with an August 2020 release. The reason for this is unknown, though this is most likely due to poor sales of previous toys or in light of the current COVID-19 outbreak.

==Notes==
[[File:Cyberverse Warrior Shockwave packaging refresh.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.0|Some figures, such as Warrior Class Shockwave, were released in four different packaging designs.]]
*''Cyberverse'' toys made their global retail debut at Toyworld stores in Australia on [[July 3|3 July]] [[2018]], before arriving at US retail at the end of the same month.
*Because Hasbro frequently uses the shorthand "TRA" for the brand name in solicitations to stores and on shipping cases, the name of the Ul'''tra''' Class assortment ended up being interpreted as "Ultransformers" in numerous places.
*''Cyberverse'' features a minor but still noteworthy difference compared to previous toy lines that had featured [[subline imprint]]s: In the case of those previous lines, any previously released toys that were re-released under those subline imprints were given new packaging that followed the design template for the subline imprint in question, but retained the original release's UPC (or EAN for European releases) barcode. By contrast, ''Cyberverse'' toys that were re-released in ''Power of the Spark'', ''Battle for Cybertron''/''Bumblebee: Cyberverse Adventures'' and ''Dinobots Unite'' packaging were all given new UPC (or EAN) barcodes. This even applied to the assortments themselves, which were also assigned new assortment UPC (or EAN) barcodes. As a result, some figures have four different barcodes for the various packaging variants, and eight barcodes if you count both UPCs and EANs.
*On top of that, Hasbro folded the ''Cyberverse'' into the Chinese-exclusive ''[[Nezha: Transformers (toyline)|Nezha: Transformers]]'' line for China, which gave the figures released under that branding yet ''another'' packaging variant.
*Like with previous lines, Hasbro used character-specific code names for the toys.
:*For the 2018 releases, the theme was "''{{w|Seinfeld}}'' characters":
{{collist|3|
:::*Acid Storm: "Uncle Leo"
:::*Blurr: "Morty"
:::*Bumblebee: "Costanza"
:::*Grimlock: "Puddy"
:::*Megatron: "Newman"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Peterman"
:::*Shadow Striker: "Susie"
:::*Shockwave: "Kramer"
:::*Slipstream: "Estelle"
:::*Soundwave: "Kruger"
:::*Starscream: "Bania"
:::*Windblade: "Elaine"
}}

:*For the 2019 releases, Hasbro abandoned the "Seinfeld" theme in favor of a new "baseball teams" theme:
{{collist|3|
:::*Bumblebee: "Ironbirds"
:::*Hot Rod: "Isotopes"
:::*Megatron: "Quakes"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Woodducks"
:::*Prowl: "Flying Squirrels"
:::*Ratchet: "Aces"
:::*Shadow Striker: "Rockhounds"
:::*Slipstream: "Greenjackets"
:::*Soundwave: "Dust Devils"

Transformers Authentics

{{picsneeded|''Transformers Authentics'' figures}}
'''''Transformers Authentics''''' is a kid-oriented toyline launched in [[2017]], comprising simple figures developed for the discount market. The figures are based on the [[evergreen]] designs that Hasbro established in the same year. The line took the place of the [[market six]] Legion Class figures from 2015, which had the "authentic Transformers" disclaimer.

The line features several distinct price points, though the assortments aren't identified on any packaging or instructions. The names used in this article come from retailer and distributor listings.

:*''Takara name'': '''Bumble'''
:*''Takara ID number'': '''11''', '''C-56'''
{{toydesigner|[[Masaki Maruyama]] (TakaraTomy)}}

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

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

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

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

: Bumblebee was released in a wide variety of colors in markets south of the border, which will be covered in separate entries below (as to not make this entry unreadably long; there's a ''ton'' of variants and more keep popping up!).

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

: This mold was later [[retool]]ed into a [[#Keychain|keychain version of Bumblebee]], as well as for a [[#TFCollection|''Transformers Collection'' multipack]] (see below).

: The original mold is also used by the [[Optimus (faction)|Optimus-faction]] [[Volks (G1)|Volks]]. Later [[retool]]ings of this mold were used to make [[Glyph (Universe)#Toys|Glyph]] and [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Toys|Bug Bite]].

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

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

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

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

: Bumblebee was released in Brazil by [[Estrela]] in 1985 as the Robocar "Volks", initially available in two color schemes: his original yellow and black, and slick-looking silver and black with a gold face, both decorated with a new thin tech-detailing sticker on their chests based on the original ''[[Micro Change]]'' decals. The design of the sticker on the back of his head was also changed to a more complex grid pattern. The raised "DUNLOP" branding on the tires was also removed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

: As far as foreign Mini Vehicle variants go, the Venezuelan release of Bumblebee by [[Rubiplas]] is pretty tame. He came in both the Hasbro yellow and red versions, and retains the Hasbro stickers. However, his head lacks both the silver paint on his face, and the [[Vacuum metallizing|chrome silver]] on the "plate" part of the head, leaving it as black plastic.

{{-}}{{anchor|Lynsa}}
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1986)}}</ul>

: Manufactured by Argentinean company [[Lynsa]] but sold in Peru, this version of Bumblebee is similar to the Rubiplas release, lacking any paint or chrome, but this version also has plastic tires instead of rubber. So far, three different colorations have been confirmed: the original yellow-and-black, red-and-black, and peachy-orange-and-black. It is claimed that there may be ''six'' different versions of Peruvian Bumblebee all told, with the three others being unique to that market, but no-one has been able to find and confirm the others so far.

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

{{-}}{{anchor|Goldbug}}
[[File:Goldbugg1toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Older, squatter, faster.]]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Goldbug''' (Throttlebot, [[1987]])}}</ul>
:*''Takara name'': '''Goldback'''
:*''Takara ID number:'' '''C-97'''
{{toydesigner|[[Takayuki Ishizawa]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Takashi Matsuda]] (initial concept)}}

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

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

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

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

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Bumblebee''' (Classic Pretender, 1989)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Pretender shell, helmet, [[sonic blaster]], [[laser pistol]]

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

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

: The inner robot to Pretender Classics Bumblebee was sold without the shell in the [[Kmart]] [[exclusive]] [[Legends (G1)|Legends]] figure assortment, the first store-exclusive Transformers in the Hasbro line. Oddly, he came with the inner-robot gun to his teammate [[Jazz (G1)/toys#G1Legend|Jazz]], who had Bumblebee's small gun in exchange.

: In Japan, Legends Bumblebee was only available in a boxed "Hero Set" with the Legends versions of [[Jazz (G1)/toys#HeroSet|Jazz]], [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#HeroSet|Grimlock]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Heroset|Starscream]]. Bumblebee was identical to the Hasbro release.

: In Italy, [[GiG]] released their own version of the Hero Set, named "Set Commandos", instead of the Classic Pretender versions of the toys. Bumblebee was given the name "Saetta", which was originally the Italian name of [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys|Wheeljack]]. The "Set Commandos" toys were identical to the Japanese "Hero Set" versions.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Bumblebee with Heli-pack''' (Action Master, 1990)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Heli-pack, [[astral exploder rifle]]

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

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

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

{{-}}{{anchor|EuroClassic}}
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Goldbug''' (Classic Throttlebot, 1991)}}</ul>

: Goldbug, and the rest of the Throttlebots, were reissued in Europe in 1991 as part of the [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] reissues.

: It was [[retool]]ed to remove the [[rubsign]] indent, and the heat-sensitive decal was replaced with a glossy-paper faction symbol.

{{-}}{{anchor|Keychain}}
[[File:G1toy bumblebee keychain.jpg‎|thumb|upright=1.67|If you're feeling bitter, you might need a sweet boy in your pocket!]]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Bumblebee''' (Keychain, 2001/2003/2007)}}</ul>

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

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

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

:This mold was also used to make [[Glyph (Universe)#Toys|Glyph]].

: Released as part of the collaboration between the ''Transformers'' franchise, the [[Bump of Chicken]] rock group, and [[Studio Trigger]]'s [[Sushio]], this Bumblebee is a redeco of the ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' release of the ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Bumblebee mold]] (see below), complete with translucent windows. He transforms into a sports coupe of made-up model, which features an opening canopy for his cockpit, which allows any [[Titan Master]]/[[Prime Master]] figure to ride inside him; in this case, the included Headmaster of Bump of Chicken's bassist [[Chama#Toys|Chama]].

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

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

*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Autobot, 1993)

: Bumblebee's first ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toy was a [[redeco]] of his original toy, transforming into a "Penny Racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. However, this version has yellow chrome on the previously matte-yellow plastics. Thankfully, there seem to be few to no reports of chrome flaking on any of the ''Generation 2'' Mini Vehicles.

: The only symbol on the figure is the Generation 2 Autobot insignia stamped on the bottom of his foot, followed by the word "Autobot".

He features through-axle construction for incredibly fast zipping on flat, smooth surfaces, and is compatible with many tracks and playsets from ''Hot Wheels'' and ''Matchbox''.

:"Bumble" was again reissued in Japan as part of ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' "bookbox" series in a six-toy multi-pack, with [[Huffer (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Drag]], [[Cosmos (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Adams]], [[Gears (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Gears]], [[Powerglide (G1)/toys#The Transformers Collection|Powerglide]], and [[Warpath (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Warpath]]. This time around, Bumblebee was [[retool]]ed to have a new [[Show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] head. Additionally, this version of the figure gave Bumblebee both an Autobot symbol ''and'' a rubsign, keeping the former in its traditional placement on his chest, and relocating the rubsign to the back of his head, replacing the original tech-detailing sticker that had previously been there.

: One of the earliest proposals in the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]'' line was for Bumblebee as a Volkswagen New Beetle, with [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Cliffjumper]] as the redeco. Unfortunately, VW evidently did not want to be associated with "war toys" [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#MP21|at that time]], and therefore the design never made it past the control drawing stage. Control drawings for both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have been published in the Japanese ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'' book. The design did, however, end up appearing fictionally as Bumblebee's form in the "[[Descent into Evil]]" comic.

:Bumblebee comes with a single accessory, a jet ski called "[[Wave Crusher]]" on a trailer. This is a bit similar to his Action Master toy's transforming heli-pack. His robot mode is designed to look like a typical teenager, dressed in a hoodie with pockets and wearing big chunky trainers.<ref>[http://pingmag.jp/2007/06/29/transformers/ Interview] with [[Alex Kubalsky]]</ref> He is articulated with ball joints at the head, shoulders, elbows, hips, and has hinge knees.

:Later versions [[retool]]ed the area the [[rubsign]] rests on to be larger.

:This retooled version of this mold was also used to make ''Classics'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]], [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Classics|Cliffjumper]], and an unreleased blue deco.

While the ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' Bumblebees are identical to their original, single carded releases, the "''Classic'' Bumblebee" {{sic}} has been redecoed to more closely resemble his ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' counterparts, changing his white stripes to black, his gray/silver plastic to yellow (similarly to ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Bumble, see immediately below), and the clear parts from a very faint blue-ish tint to deeply saturated clear blue plastic. In addition, the shoulder straps are no longer painted yellow, instead showing the clear blue plastic they are cast in; the head is no longer painted over in yellow, due to the change of the plastic color from gray to yellow; and the [[Wave Crusher]] replaces the white paint with black paint for the upper half and an unpainted yellow lower half, and the orange stripe with a yellow one.

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Bumblebee is a redeco of [[#Classics|''Classics'' Bumblebee.]] Bumblebee swaps some of his black plastic for dark gray, and his light gray plastic for yellow. His yellow plastic is almost entirely covered in yellow paint to deal with the common problem of yellow plastic being near-translucent against darker plastics and the inconsistency between bare plastic parts and painted clear parts. His eyes are painted blue despite being molded in translucent plastic. As with all ''Henkei'' toys, he lacks the ''Classics'' heat-sensitive rubsign, but has some [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] parts: his hood-mounted scoop and his spoiler.

He transforms similarly to, but not exactly the same as, his [[#Generation 1|Generation 1 toy]].

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

: The smaller Bumblebee ''Kre-O'' kit is loosely based on the [[Bumblebee (G1)|original Bumblebee]], with a head that's a straight copy of that Bumblebee's ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' toy head. He can be rebuilt into a hatchback and comes with no Kreons. Since his vehicle mode is basically a solid brick that can't hold any Kreons, this isn't such a big thing.

: Part of the first assortment of "Custom Kreons", this version of Bumblebee 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 [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generation 1|original Bumblebee toy]]. His "normal" helmet and large rifle 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 hand-cannon, rocket-pack and energon axe.

: This version of Bumblebee, part of the [[Kreon Class of 1984]], has much more toy-based [[tampograph]]s than his prior versions, including visored-and-masked face. He uses the [[Prowl (Kre-O)|Prowl]] style door-wings, which is really odd considering the toy he's based on does not have said feature.

: Sold only at discount chains like Family Dollar, this version of Bumblebee uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes the torso incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. Nice. His face tampograph is new, but his torso uses the "Class of '84" deco.

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

:All of the 2015 ''Transformers [[Kre-O]]'' product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the US through TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores, including this set.

:"Mini-Con Combiner"' Bumblebee comes with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville''-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

: The torso-Kreon and one Mini-Con are based on versions of Generation 1 Bumblebee: [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'']] (with an arm-cannon instead of a hand-held blaster, oddly) and [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Deluxe|"Thrilling 30" Bumblebee]] (Prowl helmet) respectively. The remaining three Mini-Con Bumblebees are based on [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned" Bumblebee]] bodies: ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Transformers: War for Cybertron (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|War for Cybertron]]'' (Bumblebee helmet), ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Prime cartoon|Prime]]'' (Ratchet helmet), and ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Rescue Bots cartoon|Rescue Bots]]'' (Jazz helmet).

:[https://www.seibertron.com/events/fullsize.php?event_id=400&size=1&image=29 First shown at New York Toy Fair 2015], the Mini-Con Combiners were apparently cancelled without fanfare... a decision that must have come late in the day, as they went on to star in their own promotional animation, "[[Stuck in a Tree]]", released about eight months after the trade show.

His head is painted metallic blue in homage to Goldbug (though it's still Bumblebee's head instead of Goldfire's), and he also features metallic gold paint on his bumper, torso, forearms, and feet.

**''TakaraTomy Release Date'': [[August 3]], 2014
**''Accessories:'' Blaster/Hand Cannon

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

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

[[File:HM-toy BumblebeeG1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
* '''Bumblebee''' (Basic, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''9'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster

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

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

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

**''Pieces'': '''23'''
**''Accessories'': Jetpack, axe/missile launcher, 2 "Dino Claw Missiles", buzzsaw, 2 twin-blasters

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

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

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legion Class, 2014/2015/2017)

:Another release of the 2014 ''Universe'' sculpt, this version's deco is a hybrid between the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Cybertronian [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Bumblebee]] release of the sculpt and the ''Transformers'' release from 2012: The Autobot insignia is placed on the chest/roof again (like on the ''Dark of the Moon'' version), but the "running boards" on the sides of the vehicle mode are still unpainted (like on the 2012 release). The toy also now sports a large "CE" mark and number on the soles of its feet, declaring the toy meets European product safety requirements. Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Bumblebee/Blazemaster two-pack's packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from ''Universe'' Bumblebee's packaging and only slightly altered, sporting a highly inaccurate deco and even advertising a "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn't actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the sculpt's 2012 release's deco.
:[[File:Transformers-2014-Legion-Class-Bumblebee-packaging-variants.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|left|2014 packaging left, 2015 packaging right.]]

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

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

**''ID number:'' '''MP-21'''
**''Accessories'': "Laser Gun" pistol, rear-view mirrors, [[Exosuit#Masterpiece|Excelsuit]], spare tire cover, license plate, neutral face, smiling face, "Battle Face" ([[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]] exclusive)
{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] and [[Yūya Ōnishi]] (TakaraTomy)}}

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

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

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

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

:A redeco of ''Masterpiece'' Bumble in [[#Generation 2|shiny ''Generation 2'' gold]], this version does not come with an Exosuit figure. Instead, he comes with a three-piece jetpack, as worn by Bumblebee in the cartoon episode "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1]]". The toy-inspired "battle face" from the normal version's Amazon Japan special release is included as the default face, along with the two cartoon-based faces from the original release.

: He also comes with an extra [[sticker|sticker sheet]] for customization. The sheet includes both Generation 1 and ''Generation 2'' style Autobot insignias in two different sizes, two yellow ''Generation 2'' style "AUTOBOT" logos (as was stamped on the original toys), ''180 Deceps'' and ''I♥Cybertron'' (from his appearance in the [[The Planet-Eater!|Marvel Comics adaptation of ''Transformers: The Movie'']]), and the "'''I♥NY'''" license plate decal as seen in the episode "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]".

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

His car mode is built on a generic ''Choro-Q'' chassis outfitted with an electric motor and can be remote-controlled using a smartphone app. While the chassis is physically generic, its firmware identifies it as belonging to the Bumblebee kit, and the smartphone app's controls adopt a yellow and black theme to match, complete with Autobot logo on the steering wheel hub.

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

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

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

He is packed with 15 sounds and phrases that activate when his [[Autobot]] symbol is pushed on his chest. He transforms in 3...no, just a single step by pulling his arms.

[[File:VG1-toy Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Sweet boy will outlive us, mere mortals, with periodical re-releases on a per decade basis. As it should be.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' ("Legion Class" reissue, 2018)

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

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

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

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

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

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

:The rest of his price-point is made up for with Cliffjumper's bazooka, now painted in slightly darker gunmetal color and lacking the paint on the rear piece. The entire cannon can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis that can attach under his front wheels. The backend of the cannon folds out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed. It can also mount on either his thigh or on the side or top of his shoulder meaning you can put the entire cannon in these spots. Unlike his mold-mates, 5 mm port holes are absent in Bumblebee's vehicle parts, meaning displaying the bazooka in vehicle mode requires the rear of the car mode to be transformed differently so the car trunk post has space to flip out and connect to the back-end of the cannon.

: Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car back-end can either be put onto the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. This peg and the backend of the cannon use a unique post and port to connect to each other. Also unlike his mold-mates, the pegs that connect the car trunk with the robot fists in vehicle mode are now complete circles instead of half circles. These larger pegs are a very tight fit in the fists; detaching the trunk requires using excessive force on a small, thin, painted plastic piece. Filing or sanding the pegs down can make transformation more feasible.

:[[For safety reasons|As per the norm]], the stock renders depict him with sharp head-horns, but the final product has them rounded off.

: Like the rest of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|Netflix-branded]] subset of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline, Bumblebee is exclusive to [[Walmart]] in Canada and the US but was released at standard retail in Asia.

: His G1 cartoon-accurate blaster is sold separately as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Deluxe Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]]. However, there is no way to store this blaster while Bumblebee is in vehicle mode.

: This contained a portion of a cardstock background of [[Teletraan I]]. Bumblebee's part has tab N and slot A.

: Bumblebee is one of two puzzling Netflix-branded figures that have become extra rare and valuable for a mutual set of confusing reasons; the other is [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Soundwave]]. Most Netflix figures try to depict characters as they appeared on the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon, favoring Cybertronian alt modes and extra battle damage, but that was not the goal for Bumblebee and Soundwave. Instead, with clean paint jobs and never-seen-on-Netflix Earth alt modes, they might be the most G1-faithful available versions of their characters in the [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations toyline]] era.

:If you actually want a toy that resembles Bumblebee from Netflix TV, then you might be looking for one of the [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Buzzworthy Bumblebees]].

: The original Cliffjumper version of the mold was given two new head toolings to make ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Hubcap (G1)#Generations|Hubcap]] and ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Goldbug (SG)#Generations|Goldbug]] respectively, and was also given Bumblebee's head to make ''Selects'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Generations|Bug Bite]].

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Bumblebee / Spike Witwicky''' (Core Class, [[2021]])}}</ul>
:*''Series'': ''War for Cybertron Trilogy''
:*''Accessories'': Blaster

: Part of the cross-franchise ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' subline, and among its very first releases, this iteration of ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Bumblebee is a Core Class mold that converts from a robot into a car based upon [[Bumper (G1)#The Transformers|Bumper]]'s [[Choro-Q]] {{w|Mazda Familia}} alt-mode (complete with rear plate detailing!). He comes with a cartoon-inspired blaster that he holds via a 3 mm post which stores in his vehicle mode's rear underside, doubling as an exhaust pipe of sorts. Unlike most of the figures on this page, this Bumblebee features a matte finish on his vehicle tires ''and'' his gun.

: As seen in the rear packaging's stock render, Bumblebee's "wing" kibble/back fenders can be folded back for a cleaner robot appearance. As a result of sharing similarities to the original toy's transformation scheme, Bumblebee's arms sit slightly lower in robot mode.

: Bumblebee also comes with a (minimally-)transforming [[Exosuit#War for Cybertron Trilogy|exosuit]] [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#Buzzworthy|Spike Witwicky]] figure, although the exosuit features a silver-painted head dome with no indications of whoever may be inside, making it more a generic exosuit figure than any specific human character. This raised the MSRP from Core Class's normal ten to fifteen US dollars, though some Target stores seemingly at random charged ''seventeen'' for the set. Despite the store exclusivity, the set became a [[shelfwarmer|pegwarmer]], often leaving entire pegs full of unsold stock.

: Much like the rest of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' toys, the box is in the style of the 2018 ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' toyline, with additional renders of the [[evergreen]] Bumblebee design. Additionally, the toy features ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]''-style [[package art]] with the ''War for Cybertron'' logo present.

: ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''{{'}}s second all-new mold, "Origin Bumblebee" is a diminutive Deluxe Class figure, once again branded as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy''. For the first time in toy form, Bumblebee transforms into the "flying saucer" vehicle seen in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" in 23 steps. His robot mode is based on [https://www.instagram.com/p/CLo1eYQASuE/ concept art] by [[Ken Christiansen]], which had earlier influenced Bumblebee's look in the [[Transformers (2019 comic)|2019 IDW comic series]] and the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' animated series.

: As part of the ''War for Cybertron'' play pattern, Bumblebee features multiple 5 mm ports and 3 mm posts compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]/[[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology]] and [[Fire Blast effect|"fire blast" effects]]. Being a modern, smaller-scale Deluxe Class figure, Bumblebee includes multiple accessories to fill out the price point, consisting of a 5 mm handheld blaster, five [[conductor#Toys|conductor rods]] as seen in "More than Meets the Eye, Part 1" that Bumblebee cannot actually hold (and in reality, Bumblebee only holds four of these rods in the episode), and a [[jet pack#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|jet pack]] as seen in "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1]]". The jet pack is 5 mm compatible but is also specifically shaped to fit the back kibble of the ''Earthrise'' Cliffjumper mold. Kunihiro originally wanted to have slots on the jetpack for the rods to slide into, but Maher cut it out due to it affecting the visual look of the jetpack.

: A small number of copies is reported to have the ''paintable'' yellow plastic being prone to fading into a very pale color. In addition to this, despite appearing to be silver on the box, both Bumblebee's gun and jetpack are molded in unpainted black plastic.

: [[Wheeljack_(G1)/toys#Legacy|A 2024 Wheeljack toy]] was eventually made as a companion to this figure, featuring a storage bay for Bumblebee to fit inside, and clips to hold Bumblebee’s conductor rods.

: Bumblebee was revealed by [https://www.facebook.com/indemandtoys/posts/2957071774536721 In Demand Toys on Facebook] in advance of any announcement by Hasbro or Target.

: Part of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' "Creatures Collide" 4-pack, "Autobot Goldbug" is a chimera of molds, matching the vehicle mode parts from ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Bumblebee]] with the headsculpt from ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Goldbug (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Goldbug]]; it also makes use of the interior chest parts from the original ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Cliffjumper]], as the "popped collar" of the Bumblebee version of the toy would cause clearance issues with the shape of the Goldbug head. All this results in a robot loosely accurate to Goldbug's original character model that transforms into a licensed, goldy-caramel-coloured [[Volkswagen]] Beetle. He retains the same accessories and functionality as his prior ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' release.

: Alongside Goldbug, the set also includes [[Scorponok (BW)#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Predacon Scorponok]], [[Ransack (G1)#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Ransack]], and [[Skywasp#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Skywasp]].

:The eleventh figure released in the ''[[Transformers Collaborative]]'' line, "A.W.E Striker Bumblebee" is a 9-inch figure that transforms into the [[A.W.E.

He includes a blaster that can be attached to the top of the alt mode as well as over Bumblebee's head. He requires mild assembly out of box, as his roll cage and antennae must be attached to his body to complete his alternate mode.

===Robosen===
*'''Bumblebee G1 Performance''' (2023)
**''Accessories:'' blaster, wall charger, USB-C to USB 2.0 cable
:Robosen's follow-up to their [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)/toys#Robosen Collector's Edition|auto-converting G1 Optimus Primes]], "Bumblebee G1 Performance" is a highly-interactive, programmable robot based on Bumblebee's appearance in the G1 cartoon. Unlike the two Optimus Primes, Bumblebee does ''not'' transform, leaving him stuck in robot mode... though this does contribute to his ''significantly lower'' $399 price point. He's nevertheless still a vague in-between of "toy" and "high-end showroom tech", with 45 custom microchips, 17 servo motors, [[Light-emitting diode|LEDs]] in his eyes, foot headlights, and his blaster accessory, 69 classic soundbytes on top of newly-recorded voice lines by [[Dan Gilvezan]] (or a ''very good'' impersonator), and his own dedicated iOS/Android bluetooth app interface (separate from either of the two Optimus Primes' apps). Bumblebee stands at 13.5 inches in height, meaning he scales a bit better with the taller "Flagship" Optimus Prime.

:Bumblebee is primarily powered by an internal rechargable lithium ion battery, with his USB-C port located in an added notch on his lower back. His speaker/vent is located just above that, on a raised circular outdent on the center of his back.

:There are a variety of ways to interact with Bumblebee, including pre-programmed voice commands, pre-programmed app controls, and user-created movement scripts. The former two have a long list of scripted actions to pull from, including action poses, fighting scenes, greetings, and a variety of silly actions; if Robosen's continual rollout of new actions for Prime months after his release is anything to go by, Bumblebee will likely have more actions added in the months to come. New to Bumblebee is a "Mini-Theater" mode, essentially longer pre-programmed action sequences with appropriate backing music, sound effects, and voice lines, with scenes featuring Bumblebee by himself and alongside Optimus Prime available to pick from. And if all that weren't enough, you can program any number of poses and movement sequences using the app.

:The lack of transformation allowed Robosen to slightly beef up Bumblebee's flexibility and movement compared to Prime, with them advertising a state-of-the-art gait algorithm that allow's Bumblebee's two walking speeds to appropriately match your movements, as well as a built-in 6-axis IMU (internal measuring unit) to detect your posture, enabling Bumblebee to perform more difficult poses and automatically stand back up if he falls. Although he still lacks wrist and foot rotation like Prime, Bumblebee ''does'' have partial neck rotation, allowing him to look to his left or right without rotating his body. He can also stand up without being powered on; although he will hunch forward a bit on his knees when powering off, his legs can be straightened out a bit more with no worry of him falling over afterwards, likely thanks to his large feet.

:Bumblebee was first shown off at the Middle East Film and Comic Con in March 2023, with Robosen later uploading a promotional video to Weibo in May. He was made available to buy from Robosen's online store on June 20, 2023 without any advance warning, with orders shipping out from that date on.

:Commemorating the 40th anniversary of ''The Transformers'' brand, ''[[Missing Link]]'' Bumble is a direct recreation of the original ''The Transformers'' figure. Though near-identical to the original on the surface (complete with "battle-mask" face!), this figure uses modern toy engineering advances to give the toy a mechanical overhaul, granting it a ''significantly'' wider range of [[articulation]], including shoulders, elbows, knees, "neck" rotation, outward leg motion, and an ankle tilt. In terms of weaponry, Bumble wields a metallic chrome laser pistol, styled after his weapon from the cartoon, which can be stowed away in his (officially-licensed) "penny-racer" style Volkswagen Beetle alt-mode. Bumble also comes with a collector's card and a sticker sheet, with both the standard Autobot insignia and a pair of stickers designed to make Bumble resemble his original ''The Transformers'' package art available to use. As with ''Missing Link'' Convoy, Bumble and all his pack-ins are neatly inserted into a polystyrene tray.

:''Missing Link'' Bumble was officially revealed in early May 2024, and shortly afterwards went up for pre-order on Japanese retail sites for a November 2024 release.

:As you might expect, the tooling for this figure was also used to make a simultaneously-released ''Missing Link'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Missing_Link|Cliffjumper]].

: Bumblebee is the second collaboration between [[Hasbro]] and [[LEGO]] released under LEGO's ''[[fandom:Brickipedia:Icons|Icons]]'' subtheme, following [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#LEGO|10302 Optimus Prime]], and is designed to be in scale with the aforementioned model of the Autobot leader. Like Optimus, he can transform from a fully brick-built G1-style robot to a vaguely-Beetle-esque car with opening doors without needing to be disassembled and reassembled... ''mostly,'' as his front windshield [[Partformer|must be removed for transformation]]. The removed windshield can be folded in half and stored by pegging onto the studs on the spare tire on Bee's back, like a little winged jetpack that can ''arguably'' serve as a homage to the door-wing design seen on the [[Bumblebee (Movie)|live-action]] and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Aligned versions]] of the character.

: He is armed with a likewise brick-built blaster, and just like Optimus, also includes an ''Ultimate Collector's Series''-styled display plaque featuring Bumblebee's name (in both English and Ancient Autobot), function, motto, and Tech Specs.

: Unfortunately, also like Optimus, stability concerns over Bumblebee's top-heavy robot mode mean that he too lacks any knee articulation. Bummer.

Since 1984, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 '''Optimus Prime''']] has received the largest number of toys for any single ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' character, a testament to the character's enduring popularity and status as a hero to many fans.

Due to the popularity of the character and the evergrowing [[Generation 1 continuity family]], this article had become far too large, causing internet browsers to struggle loading all of its contents, and—in the most extreme cases—crashing entirely. For the sake of a nice clean split, we have opted to move all of Optimus Prime's ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toys into a separate article which can be found '''[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys|here]]'''.

:*''Takara ID number'': '''01'''
:*''Accessories'': "Laser Blaster", left & right fists, trailer/"Combat Deck", "Roller", 4 rockets, hose, nozzle, fuel pump
{{toydesigner|[[Hiroyuki Obara]] (TakaraTomy), [[Shōji Kawamori]] ([[Studio Nue]])}}

: Released in the first year of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original ''Transformers'' toyline]], Optimus Prime transforms into a White Freightliner WFT-8664T cabover semi-trailer truck with an additional trailer unit. In robot mode, his fists are separate accessories that must plug into his wrists; the fists do not store securely anywhere in vehicle mode, but can fit easily in Prime's chest/drivers' compartment. He is armed with a black laser rifle that, by design, he cannot hold straight. His articulation is relatively high for the era due to his transformation, and even has functioning knees, though their use is restricted by his lack of forward hip movement. His smokestacks can rotate, but are seemingly a form of [[for safety reasons|anti-breakage move]].

: Prime's [[trailer]] opens up into his [[Combat Deck (G1)#Toys|Combat Deck]], containing the scout drone, [[Roller (G1)#Toys|Roller]]. The interior of the Combat Deck features three raised holes that can accommodate Prime's laser rifle, fuel pump and nozzle accessories. The Combat Deck's central feature is a missile-armed repair drone pod mounted upon a boom lift arm, which can be extended through square holes in the trailer's roof and front end when it is closed. While the drone has spring-loaded missile launchers, the springs have been severely weakened in the Hasbro release. Situated in the base of the boom arm is a spring-loaded launcher that can launch Roller out of the Combat Deck and into action. Roller features a port that can accommodate either Prime's rifle or the fuel pump. The interior space of the trailer allows storage room for one standard [[Autobot Cars|Autobot Car]], which can also be shot forward by the launcher.

: The toy started life as the Takara ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Battle Convoy" toy, a piloted mecha, thus the numerous spots across the toy's components with little seats for Diaclone pilots that Optimus did not come with.

[[File:G1toy optimus prime variants and running changes.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Most people would be happy with just ''one'' Optimus Prime, but noooooo...]]

: Optimus was subject to several molding and color variations in his early days. The earliest release of the figure featured large rounded fists, a hefty rifle with a large rounded barrel, a thick fuel pump with a detailed nozzle, silver rockets, silver Roller, silver Combat Deck launcher, and metal plates in the floor of the Combat Deck (a holdover from the ''Diaclone'' version of the toy, to which the magnetic feet of the pilots could cling). In short order, new-yet-almost-identical [[mold]]s were created, presumably to refresh the tooling as the original had already been heavily used for ''Diaclone'' and so a wider range of factories (going from only Japan to Japan, China, Macau, and more) could produce more units to meet demand quickly, a common practice at the time. Prime's fists were resculpted to be smaller and more angular, the gun's silhouette was heavily revised, the fuel pump and nozzle were simplified, the rockets and launcher recast in black plastic, the Combat Deck's metal plates (and their clips) were removed, and the outer trailer detailing and door hinges were altered. Roller and the Combat Deck's drone pod color was swapped to a light blue, though a third running change soon followed that saw them restored to their original darker blue. The revised mold would be used by subsequent reissues of the Optimus toy, though Roller stills fluctuates back and forth between grey and dark blue, depending on how [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] each reissue wants to be.

: The Japanese 1985 release of the figure also underwent the accessory changes, but never featured a silver Roller. Instead, Takara's original release of Prime featured a ''Diaclone''-style Roller without the two rear pegs, and the differently-shaped launcher that accommodated him, before a running change switched over to the Hasbro version. It also had fully-functional missile launchers on the drone.

: Finally, in some European countries, Prime sported red feet, as opposed to his traditional blue; this version of the figure is also known in some cases to feature a differently-painted forehead crest which leaves the three central indentations unpainted blue. For the mainland Europe [[Milton Bradley]] release, there were two [[variant]]s of Optimus Prime available: the first version, manufactured by Takara, sported blue feet like most other versions; the second version, manufactured by [[Joustra]]'s parent company [[Ceji]], sported red feet instead.<ref name="3mb" /> On top of that, the Italian release of "Commander" by [[GiG]] eventually featured a [http://www.fredsworkshop.com/vprime6.html later variant] that replaced the rubber tires and [[die-cast]] feet with plastic parts, similar to the US [[KB Toys]] variant of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Toys|Ultra Magnus]].

: Having been removed from toy store shelves after 1985, Optimus Prime was made available as a mail-away toy in the "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]" offer in the US in 1986 to coincide with the [[The Transformers: The Movie|''Transformers'' movie]] premiering that year. He cost $21.50 and 5 [[Robot Point]]s. He was also offered in "[[The Autobots Have a Special Mission for:]]" mail-away pamphlet, and came with a special "Movie Edition Certificate" and a round sticker that read " Movie . Edition . Transformer" with the Autobot symbol in the middle; this edition of the toy is considered ''particularly'' rare.

: Over twenty-plus years, there have been a ''bajillion'' releases of this mold, some identical to the original toy, and some featuring significant variants with notably different paint jobs, color schemes, accessories and other pack-ins. We have striven to list all these variants on this page under their respective series; for a quick-reference list of all variants and releases [[#Notes|check here]]. The cab robot has also been used sparingly to represent different characters; outfitted with different trailers, it has become Generation 1 [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Pepsi Convoy]].

: A limited edition version of the Optimus Prime toy was sold as a mail-away exclusive by [[Pepsi|PepsiCo]] in North America in 1985. This version of the figure came with a small fold-out leaflet glued to the top-right of the packaging, which contained two Pepsi logo stickers for the buyer to attach to Prime, mid-way through the traditional silver-and-blue stripe on his trailer. [[Canada]] also got a version of this promotional figure, but with much larger stickers that were the full length and height of the trailer.

: This promotion would go on to serve as the inspiration for the Japanese character of [[Pepsi Convoy]], who would in turn be released by Hasbro as a new "[[#PepsiPrime2007|Pepsi Optimus Prime]]" in 2007.

{{note|Ultra Magnus' inner white Optimus Prime redeco was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as Optimus Prime in the ''[[Transformers vs. G.I. Joe]]'' issue "[[The War Never Ends]]".}}

: Ultra Magnus is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Powered Convoy" figure, itself a redeco and slight retool of "Battle Convoy", the toy that became the original Optimus Prime figure, sporting a new trailer. One of the last few ''Diaclone'' toys to be released in the ''Transformers'' toyline, Magnus was recolored from the original toy's dark blue, red and black color scheme into a more patriotic red, white and blue, though his chestplate, which was rendered white in his package art followed a more the blue color scheme of his shoulders. He transforms into a Freightliner COE, towing a car-carrier trailer capable of transporting up to four normal-sized Autobot cars. As with Optimus Prime, his cab transforms into a small robot, which can then combine with the trailer to form a "super robot", although all original Generation 1 fiction prior to the 21st century ignored this and simply rendered the super robot as Magnus's default robot form. To facilitate this combination, Magnus sports a slightly longer front axle than Prime, thereby creating tabs on either side of the cab that slide into grooves in the trailer to help lock the small robot into place. He is armed with a rifle sporting two handles that allow either of his [[robot mode]]s to hold it, and two shoulder-mounted missile launchers, whose spring-loaded firing mechanism was removed for the Hasbro release of the figure.

: The ''Diaclone'' Powered Convoy figure had several additional features and modes which were mostly excised or left unmentioned for the ''Transformers'' release of Ultra Magnus. Principally, Powered Convoy came packaged with "Powered Buggy", who was left out of Magnus's release (see [[#Notes|notes below]] for further details). Omitted from Magnus's instructions is the ability of his chestplate and super robot head to combine to form a small vehicle; the Powered Convoy version of the figure included small rolling wheels on the underside of the chestplate which were removed for Ultra Magnus. Additionally, three additional modes were included in the ''Diaclone'' instructions that Hasbro left out: a "preparation base" mode and an "Autobot base" mode were excluded entirely, while the third, a "catapult launcher" mode originally intended and proportioned to accommodate the ''Diaclone'' Jet Robo figure that became [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]], was shown only on the front of his packaging, interacting with [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]. The Japanese release of Ultra Magnus—released as part of the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#Toys 2|Scramble City]]'' sub-line—''did'' include instructions for the preparation base and catapult launcher modes, but replaced the original Autobot base mode with a new configuration.

:The original Ultra Magnus figure has been reissued and redecoed several times down the years, and this article strives to list each edition of the figure under its own heading. The first alteration to Magnus, however, was a [[variant|running change]] made while he was still on shelves: Originally, his tires were made of [[rubber tires|rubber]] and he sported paint on both his small and large robot heads, but this version was soon replaced with one featuring plastic tires and no paint on either head. In addition, the clear yellow plastic that formed his windows was removed from the cab, leaving just holes instead; and his thighs and fuel tanks were left white, as opposed to the vacuum metalized chrome ones of the original release.

:The small robot component, as well as being part of Optimus Prime, was also released with a different trailer as [[Pepsi Convoy]].

[[File:PowermasterOptimusPrime toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|My Japanese release has a lot more bling. And shorter stacks.]]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Optimus Prime''' (Powermaster, 1988)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories:'' Hi-Q Powermaster unit, 2 [[laser rifle]]s, 2 twin [[particle beam cannon]]s, super robot head

: Sold in the fifth year of the Hasbro US ''Transformers'' line (fourth in European markets), Powermaster Optimus Prime was the first new toy of the Autobot leader since the original toy's release in 1984. He is an all-new design, featuring the [[Powermaster]] gimmick: His partner figure, [[Hi-Q#Toys|Hi-Q]], must be transformed into an engine and attached to Prime's vehicle mode in order to enable the transformation into robot mode.

: Like the original figure, Powermaster Prime is composed of two major components: his truck cab, which transforms into Prime himself, and his trailer, which is essentially a heavily-armed version of the original. The trailer has a fold-down ramp to allow the storage of a smaller Transformer, or perhaps spare accessories. The trailer transforms into a battle station armed with two long black rifles and two grey double-barreled cannons (featuring seating for Powermaster engine figures), all of which Optimus Prime can also wield in his fists.

: Aside from the Powermaster feature itself, the main [[gimmick]] of the toy is the ability of the truck cab to combine with the trailer to form the larger "Super Optimus Prime" figure. This is essentially accomplished by standing the trailer up, folding the cab in half and inserting it into the empty cavity in the trailer's torso, forming an imposing—if almost entirely unposeable—robot form armed with all four weapons. The head of this super robot form is a separate piece which can be stored in the rear of Prime's trailer when not in use. While Hi-Q was always shown plugged into Prime's chest in artwork of this mode (as seen in the picture here), this was actually entirely unnecessary as transforming into Super Optimus Prime didn't require the standard Prime toy's legs to be unlocked.

:The Japanese release of Powermaster Optimus Prime actually represented a new character named [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]], and featured several retools: the cab featured die-cast metal, shortened smokestacks, vacuum-metalized plastic and clear blue windows, while the trailer was given retractable super robot fists. This Japanese version was eventually issued by Hasbro in 2003 as part of the [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] collection ([[#Commemorative Series|see below]]).

:This toy was later redecoed into the Japanese-exclusive Super Convoy.

:There were several different prototypes made for this toy. [[#Powermaster Optimus Prime design history|See a list here]].

*'''Armored Convoy with Optimus Prime''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories:'' trailer, 2 laser guns, 4 blaster cannons, 2 Energon exhaust stacks, [[photon bazooka]]
:The largest [[Action Master]] set, this incarnation of Optimus Prime is a non-transforming action figure which comes with the "[[Armored Convoy#Toys|Armored Convoy]]", a large, heavily armed tractor trailer. The cab of the truck transforms into a small jet that can seat one Action Master figure, while the trailer itself converts into a larger battle station with turrets that several Action Masters can man. The sculpt of the Prime figure itself is closely based on his [[character model]], albeit with a coloration that seems to have been based at least partially on the small robot form of his Powermaster body. Unlike the one seen in the commercial, the final product loses paint operations of Prime's upper legs.

:The Action Master Optimus Prime figure was later redecoed with a more [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] color scheme and included in the Japanese-exclusive "New Year" reissue of the original Optimus Prime toy in 2002. The Armored Convoy was later redecoed as the ''[[Microman]]: [[Microman#Micro Millennium (1998-2000)|LED Powers]]'' toy [[Microman#MicroTrailer|Micro Trailer]] – sans Optimus Prime, natch – which also received two separate [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] toys as the [[Microman#DarkTrailer|Dark Trailer]] and [[Microman#FlameTrailer|Flame Trailer]].

:Labeled "2002 New Year Special", this Japanese-exclusive "Special Specification" (特別仕様 ''Tokubetsu Shiyō'') of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure featured tinted blue windows, like those sported by the "Goodbye Convoy" edition of the toy, as well as show-accurate blue eyes.

{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Released in the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1991 (Return of Convoy)|Return of Convoy]]'' part of the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|original Takara ''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' toyline]], and the final new-design Optimus Prime toy from the original Generation 1 era, the Japanese-exclusive Star Convoy was a significant departure from previous versions. This incarnation of Prime transforms into an extended-hood cab truck of made-up model pulling an implausibly large trailer, incorporating the motorized "Microcarrier". [[Motorized movement|Powered by four AA batteries]], the Microcarrier drives Star Convoy either forward or backward, spinning a radar dish mounted on the rear of his trailer as he rolls along. Prime's teammate in the [[Battlestars]], [[Grandus (G1)|Grandus]], can link up to the rear of Star Convoy's vehicle mode and be pulled along behind him; [[Sky Garry (G1)|Sky Garry]] can then land atop Grandus, forming a giant vehicle.

: Unlike previous Optimus Prime toys, the cab section does not separate from the trailer for transformation, instead forming the arms of his imposing 12-inch tall robot mode. He lacks any sort of leg articulation in this mode, but the Microcarrier comes into play again, allowing Prime to roll either forward or backward into action.

: Additionally, Star Convoy transforms into a large battle station that interacts with the [[Micromaster]]s that made up the vast majority of the ''Transformer'' toyline at the time. His chest contains a peg that allows Micromaster figures to stand inside it in either robot or base modes, and he comes with a unique Micromaster version of [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Return of Convoy|Hot Rod]] not available on its own. He features storage space in his legs for two spring-loaded figure-launching [[Micro Trailer]]s, and comes with one of his own, decorated in a unique black and orange color scheme. In this mode, two ramps are connected to the Microcarrier; when the carrier's treads are set rolling, they do not move the base, but instead act as conveyor belts that carry Micromaster figures down the ramps. The Microcarrier also spins a gun turret mounted between the conveyors, on which Micromaster figures can stand. Finally, a special connector packaged with Star Convoy allows the Microcarrier to be connected up to Grandus's base mode, powering his moving elevator.

:Star Convoy was reissued by Takara in 2005, with some notable alterations to his deco: his white plastic was replaced with metallic silver, and the yellow star on his chest was chromed golden. Star Convoy himself retained some of his original decals, but most notably his "simulated head lights" and "wind shield panels" were tampographed on him; similarly, [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#StarConvoyReissue|Hot Rod]]'s stickers were all replaced with tampograph deco. Additionally, where the original toy had been packaged in robot mode in a tall box decorated with the standard Japanese package art of the time, the reissue was packaged in vehicle mode, in a long, wide box more reminiscent of the original Generation 1 toys.

:*''Accessories'': "Laser blaster", left & right fists, light & sound module, 2 rocket launchers, 4 rockets, "Roller" scout car, hose, nozzle, fuel pump, trailer, 4 missiles

: Part of the very first assortment of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' product released just in time for the 1992 holiday season, this Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the original figure release with some notable new additions to catch him up to the radical 1990s. While his cab robot retained his original red and dark blue color scheme, his trailer was recast in black, with the original blue and silver striped sticker replaced with a red and silver one displaying Optimus's name. On the first release of the trailer, the internal components and Roller matched the blue of the cab robot. Later, the internal components and Roller were changed to a lighter blue. Another ''second'' running change followed, making the dark blue of the cab robot match this lighter shade. A bright yellow "Autobot" [[tampograph]] was also added to the back of his right leg, present in all versions of the toy.

: ''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime comes with all his original accessories and play features... yes, even the [[for safety reasons|severely-weakened]] missile launchers on the Combat Deck, the only recycled toy in ''Generation 2'' to retain the old launching mechanisms. But Optimus also sas two major new play features. To increase his arsenal, Optimus is now armed with a pair of large, black handheld missile launchers that fire red missiles. These launchers were retooled from the 1992 ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' figure [http://www.yojoe.com/action/92/barricade.shtml Barricade].

: Second, he comes with an electronic "sound and lights module" that can either plug into the front of the trailer (where it resembles a trailer refrigeration unit), or hook onto Optimus's back in [[robot mode]] via a new slot retooled into the cab robot. Unfortunately, the soundbox is heavy enough that doing so can often overpower Prime's hip joints, causing him to topple backward. The soundbox features a large, [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metalized]] Autobot symbol on its front, and three grey buttons which trigger two flashing red LEDs on either side of the module, and [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/c/c6/G2OptimusNoises.ogg a trio of sound effects]: a truck engine noise, a laser gun sound effect, and a very loud "I am Optimus Prime!". The module also features ports on either side into which the missile launchers can peg. How the sound module handles batteries is an oddity among Transformers before or since: as Optimus came out during a transitional period where button cell batteries were still fairly expensive, the module uses AA batteries by default, but was originally packed with a small bracket for included LR44 batteries that overrides the AA compartment completely to support the "Try Me!" feature in the box. The original intent is to discard the bracket once the LR44s run out and switch to several AA batteries, but if one were to keep it, the electronics can work equally well solely off far fewer button cell batteries.

: Released in the second year of ''Generation 2'', [[Hero (G2)|Hero]] Optimus Prime was the first new-mold Optimus Prime toy created for the ''Generation 2'' line. He transforms into a long-nose truck and trailer of unknown, potentially made-up model. The trailer has a permanently-attached massive rocket launcher powered by an air bellows: slide one of his rockets over the barrel, then slam down on the bellows to launch the rocket. The launcher also features a [[5 mm post]] to attach a smaller rifle. The rockets and bellows all clip neatly onto the trailer as well.

: In robot mode, the launcher remains permanently affixed to Optimus's right arm, and retains its functionality. The air bellows and rockets mount on his back. This was also one of the first ''Transformers'' toys to feature expanded [[articulation]] in robot mode, though they hadn't really perfected the formula so soon and he ends up fairly back-heavy and heel-strut-needing.

: A similar air-launching system with identical missiles was used by the simultaneously-released [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Hero|Hero Megatron]], and by Laser Optimus Prime the following year (see below).

: This mold was also used to create [[Sureshot (G2)#Toys|Sureshot]] and the [[KB Toys]]-exclusive [[Destructicon (RID)|Destructicon]] [[Scourge (RID)#Destructicon|Scourge]].

: Released in the final year of ''Generation 2'', Laser Optimus Prime (released in Europe under the name "Laser Rod Optimus Prime") transforms into a mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX, pulling a grey and black fuel tank trailer. The sides of the trailer are decorated with a sticker depicting Prime using a flamethrower to burn down a banner with the words "Optimus Prime Octane" on it. The truck is armed with a disc launcher on the roof of its trailer, which launches five blue discs bearing the ''Generation 2'' Autobot insignia as a knob is turned. Like the other "[[Laser Rod|Laser]]" toys released this year, Prime features electronics powered by two button-cell batteries; in truck mode, pressing the button on the cab's roof causes his headlight to light up with yellow LEDs.

: In the grand Optimus tradition, the cab of Laser Optimus Prime disconnects to become the highly poseable robot mode of Prime himself. Like Powermaster Prime and Hero Prime, the toy features the iconic windshield pecs and grill abs, despite not actually being formed from the actual truck components they emulate. In robot mode, pressing the button on Prime's cab (now on his back) activates a red LED in his right fist which illuminates his clear-plastic sword (which stores beneath his legs in truck mode).

: Prime's trailer unfolds via a spring-loaded transformation mechanism in a battle station that is positively ''bristling'' with varied weaponry. In addition to the disc launcher, it is armed with a "ripple-fire" missile launcher that fires five missiles, an air-powered rocket launcher like the one previously seen on Hero Optimus Prime, and a small laser cannon that mounts on the base's main tower. Both the missile launcher and laser cannon can disconnect and be held by Prime; his LED-fist will illuminate the laser cannon like it does his sword. Additional missiles and a second rocket are stored in grooves inside the sides of the trailer.

: This mold was redecoed by Takara in 2000 as ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Car Robots]]'' [[Scourge (RID)#Toys|Black Convoy]], and later by Hasbro as Black Convoy's [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise]] counterpart Scourge. It was also used to make the [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#G-2|Laser Ultra Magnus]]. It was planned to be used to make ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Toxitron (Universe)#Toys|Toxitron]], but that was canceled.

: In addition to being possibly the most popular ''Generation 2'' figure, Laser Optimus Prime was, prior to 2003, a regular contender for most popular ''Transformers'' toy ''ever'', back in the days of the annual [[alt.toys.transformers]] fan awards; the toy won twice, and actually lost once to his redeco, Scourge.

: Part of the second wave of [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]]s, this Optimus is a redeco of [[Firecracker#Toys|Firecracker]], transforming into a ''[[Hot Wheels]]''-sized 1:64-scale Lamborghini Diablo. Like most Go-Bots, he features high speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly, and is broadly compatible with ''Hot Wheels'' and ''Matchbox'' style tracks and playsets.

: The plastic colors are a "solid" version of Firecracker's color layout, substituting opaque red for transparent red plastic, but also adding blue paint to his helmet for that little extra touch of Optimus. (All of the toys from the first wave that had transparent plastics were released in this wave with opaques instead; [[Blowout#Toys|Blowout]] and Firecracker became new versions of [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Go-Bot|Megatron]] and Optimus Prime respectively, while [[Gearhead#Toys|Gearhead]] and [[Motormouth#Toys|Motormouth]] stayed themselves.)

: In Europe, this deco was sold as Firecracker himself rather than Optimus Prime (at least in the French/Dutch/German packaging variant).

:[[File:G2-toy OptimusPrime GoBotTakara.jpg|upright=1|left|thumb|(''Takara release'')]]

: Optimus was one of only three Go-Bots sold in the Takara ''G-2'' line, but it was a... weird release. His hood was tampographed with a stylized "T" with the ''Transformers'' logo set within the top bar, the same deco that appears on Go-Bots [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Soundwave]], as well as the Japanese release of Go-Bots [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Go-Bot|Megatron]]. On top of that, his yellow plastics are now the same bright fluorescent yellow as found on Soundwave, thanks to the [[gang-molding]] process used to make this batch. He keeps the blue helmet though. These three toys were sold on cards that were nigh-identical to the Hasbro cards on the front, rather than the usual ''G-2'' style packaging, with only a small bit of Japanese text on the front in the logo. The back side is stylistically close to the ''Generation 2'' packaging, but a "generic" cardback used for all three toys and entirely in Japanese. It's unclear why these toys were released this way; it's possible these were sold in convenience stores or some other similar outlet rather than in conventional toy stores/departments; these toys do not appear on the normal ''G-2'' catalogs either. Even more oddly, the Optimus shown on the cross-sell is actually a [[Sideswipe (G1)#Go-Bot|Sideswipe]] with the car panels hand-painted red, and lacks the "T" on the hood... and yes, he's labeled "Optimus Prime" in Japanese as well, making this the first instance of the character ''not'' being named "Convoy" in Japan.

: The sculpt was later redecoed again for the third wave of Go-Bots to become [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Go-Bot|Sideswipe]], and later still into the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Spychanger]] [[R.E.V.]].

: This Optimus Prime was to be a redeco of Hero Optimus Prime (above) in dark blue and red. Packaged samples of this toy were produced, but it was ultimately never released. The packaged samples feature a "traditional" color scheme for the head, with a silver [[mouthplate]]; the prototype depicted in the official catalog image seen on the right sports an unusual ''red'' mouthplate, which inspired several later toys.

: Since much of the advertising for the ultimately-unreleased redeco used an older, outdated name for the "Heroes" assortment, "Combat Heroes", Optimus and an equally unreleased redeco of "Hero" Megatron are commonly referred to by fans as "Combat Heroes" compared to the original "Heroes" releases, although all evidence suggests that Hasbro had never actually intended such a distinction, instead treating them as mere color [[variant]]s. Though the packaging is mostly unchanged (including a reuse of the existing packaging art depicting the original release's color scheme), one of the few minor alterations sees the addition of the name "Hero" (rather than "Combat Hero") to Optimus Prime's name above the (otherwise unchanged) UPC barcode.

: A finished sample of the Hero Optimus Prime redeco was among the rare toys auctioned off for charity at [[BotCon 1996]], along with several other unreleased ''Generation 2'' items.

:The first ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Optimus Primal]] is a Basic size class blue bat which could autotransform into a robot by pulling the tail. Two swords were removable from under its wings for use as weaponry in [[robot mode]]. It was packaged along with an alligator version of Megatron and a ''Beast Wars'' mini-comic.

: The second Optimus Primal toy was an ape in the Ultra size class. Though the transformation from primate to humanoid was a relatively simplistic one, the toy compensated with more than a fair share of weaponry and action features. A compartment on his right forearm opened to reveal a skull-shaped "mace whip" he could hold in his fist. His left forearm could open into a double-barreled "mega-blast missile" launcher. On his back were two more spring-loaded "mega-blast missile cannons"/launchers which auto-flipped over each shoulder. By pulling a lever in the center of his back, both arms would either spin at the bicep or bend in and out at the elbow, depending on the placement of notch-buttons located on either bicep. This gimmick was shown to be an effort to simulate a gorilla beating its chest while Optimus was in [[beast mode]], but could also be used in robot mode, making him swing his weapons wildly before himself. And finally, like many first-year ''Beast Wars'' toys, a battle mask/"[[mutant head]]" could be deployed over his robot head.

:Takara released the toy as part of their ''Beast Wars'' line in July of 1997, nearly identical to the Hasbro version. The missiles for the Takara version are thinner and simpler than the original Hasbro version, and would be used in all subsequent releases of the mold.

:Just like Optimus Primal's basic bat toy, this figure was released during the short-lived period when the Beast Wars was still considered to be an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and Optimus Primal was the same character as Optimus Prime. This was soon relegated to the realms of [[micro-continuity]] when the ''Beast Wars'' animated series began and clearly established that the two Optimuses were different characters, but the toy remains one that was officially branded as Prime, and is consequently listed here.

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Optimus Primal and [[Transformers: Beast Wars Telemocha Series|Beast Wars Telemocha Series]] DX Convoy, and [[retool]]ed into ''Beast Wars Reborn''/''Beast Wars Tenth Anniversary'' versus pack Optimus Primal. Takara also created multiple special variants, including all-gold (from ''[[TV Magazine]]'', only ten awarded), red and gray (''TV Magazine'' again, but only ''one'' awarded), and blue-fur (a ''[[Comic Bom Bom]]'' design-contest prize, only five awarded).

==''Machine Wars''==
[[File:MW-toy OptimusPrime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Most Autobots [[Primus apotheosis|aspire]] to be Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime aspires to be [[Thunder Clash]].]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Ultra, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle, 2 missiles

: Available only at [[KB Toys]], ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] and slight [[retool]] of the European Generation 1 exclusive [[Turbomaster]] leader [[Thunder Clash#Toys|Thunder Clash]]. It's easy to see why Thunder Clash was chosen to become the new Optimus Prime, given his adherence to Prime tradition: the truck cab disconnects to become the robot, while the trailer unfolds to become an assault tower with twin missile racks. On the original Thunder Clash version of the mold, the racks operated on a gravity-feed system where a new missile drops into the launcher from above each time one was fired, allowing for twelve to be fired in rapid succession using a pinball launcher style mechanism.
:For ''Machine Wars'' Prime, this feature had to be retooled [[for safety reasons]], sealing the gravity feed slot and cutting the original launcher plungers down to just the handles, which do not move. The small missiles were replaced with much larger new molds to prevent choking hazards and triggers were added to the sides of the launchers, becoming regular spring loaded (and unusually powerful) single-firing weapons. There seems to have been some disconnect between the deco artist and whoever handled the redone Thunder Clash [[sticker]]s, as some stickers replicate details already handled by paint on the figure. Not noted in the instructions is that the handgun is meant to serve as the drive shaft for the cab, storing between the legs on the backside. On a minor note, the redeco eliminates all [[Gold Plastic Syndrome|gold plastic]] from the toy, making it much more durable than Thunder Clash's original release.

: The [[package art]] for this toy is a retouched version of the art for ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Laser Optimus Prime (see above), but now positioned so one robot arm is always "off the edge" of the box and unseen - conveniently hiding the sword this toy has never had, yet leaving the Laser Prime faceplate intact.

: This version of the mold was planned to be [[redeco]]ed into [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] for the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line, but the release was canceled.

:The first reissue of the original Optimus Prime toy in North America since the Generation 1 toyline reached its end, this "[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]" edition of the figure was a Toys"R"Us exclusive. It was ''mostly'' identical to the original figure, save for some necessary modifications made [[for safety reasons]]: In the first instance of what would become a recognizable alteration to the mold, the toy's smokestacks were shortened, while the Combat Deck's firing missiles were elongated to prevent potential choking, as was the case with all other Commemorative Series figures' firing missiles. This release also had the trailer's launching feature removed.

:In 2012, a reissue of the Commemorative Series toy was released. Though the "Commemorative Series" label was not printed anywhere on the packaging, the included instructions retained the name. The toy itself is a mix of different versions. The cab has the safety modifications of the original ''Commemorative Series'' release, including the shortened smokestacks and longer missiles (and thicker rifle), but also has the modified hitch of the 2011 ''Chronicle'' two-pack (see below). Meanwhile, the trailer features the lighter gray plastic colors used for the 2008 ''Universe'' release, and the Autobot insignias on the robot's shoulders are tampographed (like on Takara's ''Encore'' version and Hasbro's ''Universe'' 25th Anniversary release). This version also seems to suffer from [[Mold#Deterioration|mold deterioration]].

:Marketed as a reissue of Powermaster Optimus Prime, this Toys"R"Us-exclusive Commemorative Series figure is in truth based on the Ginrai tooling on the toy that had previously been exclusive to Japan. It features a die-cast metal cab with translucent blue windows, and shortened, chrome smokestacks, and comes packaged with the drone [[Apex Bomber]] (formerly Ginrai's partner [[Godbomber]]), who splits into several components and combines with Prime to form "Apex Armor". As with all other Commemorative Series figures, Prime's new spring-loaded missile launcher featured an elongated missile.

:The figure was re-released in Hasbro's Asian markets in 2012, with no known changes to the figure itself but several modifications to the packaging that makes it easy to tell the two releases apart: The flap containing the [[package art]] is omitted entirely, the "Commemorative Series II" label is missing, the age recommendation and safety warning labels, the "Changes from double tractor trailer to battle station to super robot!" call-out and the name of the toy have all been shuffled around (with the words "battle" and "super" being omitted in the process), and most notably, the toy is no longer named "Powermaster Optimus Prime with Apex Armor", but simply "Optimus Prime", with Apex Bomber's existence no longer acknowledged anywhere on the packaging.

Additionally, Prime came packaged with a ring binder folder designed to hold the pull-out character file sheets that were included with all the other ''Transformers Collection'' reissues. Notably, this figure reinstated the original, thick version of Prime's rifle as the standard for all future Japanese reissues.

:''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime was produced for the stated milestone of the ''Transformers'' brand. So successful was the figure that ''ToyFare'' magazine ultimately ranked it #1 in their quest for "Best Toy Ever".<ref>[http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/toyfare/000054376.cfm ToyFare Magazine Best Toys Ever]</ref>

:Created with the specific purpose of producing an Optimus Prime as accurate to the original animated series as possible, the toy is exceptionally poseable compared to toys prior, partially constructed from die-cast metal, features rubber tires and vacuum-metalized plastic and is heavily detailed, with sliding pistons in its joints and working spring-loaded suspension in vehicle mode. The figure also contains multiple non-intrusive gimmicks, such as a moving [[mouthplate]] to emulate Prime's traditional method of speech, flip-up communications panels on the forearms depicting images of [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]], and an opening, light-up Matrix chamber in the chest, which contains a removable vacuum-metalized Matrix of Leadership that can also be pulled open. The Matrix is housed within a removable gray battery box which can light up the matrix core when activated.

:Optimus Prime comes with many accessories in addition to the aforementioned Matrix, including the character's traditional laser rifle, now termed (and henceforth known as) an [[ion blaster]]. The initial release of the figure cast the ion blaster in grey plastic, but later assortments recast it in its more familiar black coloration. Other accessories include a transparent orange energon-axe that plugs into either wrist when Prime's fist is retracted, and even a non-transforming gun mode Megatron weapon, with removable stock, silencer, and scope accessories, in homage to [[Countdown to Extinction (episode)|several]] [[The Insecticon Syndrome|instances]] in the Generation 1 cartoon when Prime was forced to wield his enemy. Pack-in bonuses that came with the figure included an inner cardboard tray illustrated to resemble the interior of Prime's Combat Deck, and in later releases, a small poster drawn by [[Pat Lee]].

:Optimus has a hidden sculpted mouth underneath his face mask, though attempts at removing the mask from the head may entirely damage the action feature.

:Takara's version of the figure was released in their markets slightly earlier, as the first of their long-running ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' line. In addition to coming with a cardboard trailer that the buyer could assemble to "complete" Prime's truck mode, Takara's release differed from Hasbro's by featuring longer smokestacks (kept short on the Hasbro version [[for safety reasons]]), and lacking the black scorch-marked "battle damage" paint applications Hasbro included on the figure's shoulders, wrists, and abdomen. In Western markets, the figure was intended to complement the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line.<ref>[http://www.camphortree.net/tf/tidbits/otfcc2004.txt Steve-o's OTFCC 2004 notes]</ref>

:This sculpt was redecoed by Takara into a golden Lucky Draw figure and later released in its original coloration with a trailer as a "Perfect Edition" (see below for both), while Hasbro would later redeco it into their ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''-branded "[[#Classics|DVD Edition]]". The mold was also used to make ''Masterpiece'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] and "[[Eldedroid|Convoy Black Version]]", representing one of many drones built in Prime's image, rather than Prime himself.

:In ''[[Transformers History Collection]]'', a [[Blindpacking|blind-packed]] Transformers trading figure line, Takara released an add-on hand for ''Masterpiece'' Convoy as a [[Chase figure]]. The hand holds a [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] figure and clips on to the end of Optimus Prime's arm, making the arm slightly longer than normal.

:Offered as part of a Lucky Draw campaign in August 2004, this extremely rare version of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy is almost entirely vacuum-metalized gold, lacking any other painted detail or stickers. The parts which are not viable are molded in a flat golden plastic; the only exceptions are its rubber tires, the core of the Matrix and the energon-axe, which remain black, blue and orange, respectively. Whether or not the figure was intended to evoke Optimus Prime's [[:File:Goldenlagoon prime perceptor.jpg|entirely-golden appearance]] in the cartoon episode "[[The Golden Lagoon (episode)|The Golden Lagoon]]", when he was coated with [[electrum]], is unknown; given that entirely chroming a figure gold is a fairly standard deco for Lucky Draw figures, it may just be happy coincidence more than anything else.

:The figure comes packaged in the standard ''Masterpiece'' Convoy box, with the only telltale sign of its fabled contents being the replacement of the traditionally silver foil lettering on the box with gold. It's not clear how many were made, but it is thought to be no more than 10 or 20.

{{toydesigner|[[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:For this re-release of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy, Takara submitted to the biggest desire fans had for the figure and produced a full-size, fully transforming plastic and die-cast metal trailer. The trailer opens up into Convoy's Combat Deck, with storage for its accessories and a functional repair drone, though Roller is conspicuous by its absence. Like the original Combat Deck, the drone can extend through holes in the roof and front of the closed trailer, and the interior has enough room to accommodate one ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' figure in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]. Some reports suggest that the paint on this figure's chest chips more easily than past editions. The red paint on the cab is also a slightly lighter color than on MP01.

:This version of Convoy, and Hasbro's 20th Anniversary DVD version of the toy depicts [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] on its communicators rather than Bumblebee and Starscream.

:Continuating the trend begun by their previous release of ''Masterpiece'' Ultra Magnus in 2005, Hasbro [[Australia]] released Convoy Perfect Edition as a Target Australia [[exclusive]] in 2008. Takara themselves then made the figure available for a second time in October 2009.

Limited to 2010 pieces in Japan (see what they did there?), it comes with all its customary accessories, including the Perfect Edition trailer, redecoed where appropriate: the trailer itself has become translucent, its energon-axe is now transparent grey, and Megatron, in another movie homage, is rendered in translucent purple, evoking the scene depicting his transformation into [[Galvatron (G1)/toys|Galvatron]]. The figure was also released in other parts of Asia as a limited edition of 2010 as well, combined with the Japanese edition for 4020 total.

:"Convoy Last Production" was the final re-use of the ''Masterpiece'' toy mold before it was at last retired after numerous re-releases and redecos. The figure is essentially identical to the original Japanese MP-1 release, aside from a slightly brighter red, and the addition of the words "LAST SHOT" in Transformers typeface molded into the small of Convoy's back, hidden beneath its headlight-flaps in [[robot mode]]. Lacking the trailer of MP-4, the figure instead comes with a redecoed version of the electronic base included with Hasbro's "[[#20thDVD|DVD Edition]]" of the figure from five years prior, which now features a collection of sixteen soundbytes of Convoy delivering famous lines from the Japanese version of the Generation 1 cartoon, recited by the character's original Japanese voice actor [[Tesshō Genda]]. The base was promoted as containing a hint as to the identity of the next ''Masterpiece'' toy; as it would turn out, this was a new version of Convoy himself (see below), foreshadowed by a sound clip on the base which played only intermittently, and which had Convoy announce that he would "soon be reborn".

:For its release in Korea, Hasbro Asia provided a [[collector coin]] featuring truck-mode Optimus Prime on one side and "MP-01L" on the other. The coin came mounted on a card featuring lineart of the Autobot leader's head, the stark black design of which could be mistaken for promoting the earlier "Sleep Mode" release. The limited release (and general lack of enthusiasm for the collector coins in Korea) makes this one of the more difficult Masterpiece coins to find.

{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Junichi Akutsu]] (concept artist)}}

:MP-10 Convoy, advertised as a "perfect new model" on its packaging, is an entirely new tooling of Generation 1 Optimus Prime. Convoy is now smaller, making him more in-scale with other recent ''Masterpiece'' toys, such as [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Rodimus]], and comes with a trailer and various accessories. While the front of the vehicle mode's cab is an accurate depiction of a mid-to-late-1980s Freightliner FLT cabover, the back half, (which is, as usual, made out of Convoy's legs) is much larger and robot-leggier in proportion. (So much that they sculpt a ladder on each side.)

:Many of the small features and electronics of the original ''Masterpiece'' mold are left out. Instead, this Convoy features better overall cartoon accuracy (chest interior, head, etc.), an extensive red paint job that covers much of his red plastic, corrected robot mode proportions, improved articulation, and its gun can now collapse and store inside a compartment on its back in either mode. In addition to Convoy's trailer, which can transform into Combat Deck, it also comes with Roller, a small Spike Witwicky figurine, a die-cast metal Matrix of Leadership (with a clear blue plastic center), and an energy axe that slips over Convoy's right hand. Spike can fit inside the cab in vehicle mode, ride in Roller's seat, or fit into any of the seating compartments inside Convoy's trailer. Roller has options to plug in Convoy's gun or pull Convoy's trailer, and the trailer itself can store Convoy's weapons in any mode.

:An entirely new mold released to commemorate the brand's 35th anniversary, ''Masterpiece'' "Convoy Ver.3.0" is a much more complex and cartoon-accurate figure than previous releases. At 50,000 yen (approximately $450 USD), this Convoy had the highest MSRP of any mass-market ''Transformers'' toy until ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron]]'' [[Unicron/toys#War for Cybertron|Unicron]]'s $575 price tag was announced.

:Alongside the Trailer (which retains the same function and can hold 4 standard-sized Autobot cars at a time when open), Roller, the Ion Blaster, Matrix of Leadership, and Energon Axe, the Combat Deck's base can be removed and with the new flip-out wheels, Roller (now cast in stark grey with silver rims) can tow it around. The cannon and arm section can also be removed so it can function as a flight stand, while an adapter for [[Dinobot (BW)#Masterpiece|MP-41 Dinobot]]'s display stand is also included, and the Ion Blaster now has 2 effect parts, which can simulate blaster fire and when used with the Sideswipe rocket pack included, can be used as booster flames. He also comes with a fuel hose like that on the original figure, as well as a soundbox feature that can be switched between recorded lines by the character's original Japanese ([[Tesshō Genda]]) and English ([[Peter Cullen]]) voice actors, with transformation effects (though the ascending and descending transformation sounds are spliced together in his English voice) and Douglas Walsh music to boot! As to note, Cullen's clips are closer to the recent [[Aligned]] portrayals.

:Like [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP36|MP-36 Megatron]], Convoy includes a battle-damaged head and an abdomen cover to replicate the war wounds in the climatic battle in the movie, and alongside a newly designed figure of Spike, he comes with two of Sparkplug and Carly, any of them capable of riding inside via 2 small doors on the side of the cab. A second alternate head is based on his head's rounder design seen in the first season of the cartoon and the Marvel Comics. His accessories can be stored in the trailer's removable undercarriage.

:This figure, with the included intakes and alternate head in place, also doubles as [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP44|Starscream]] from "[[Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1]]".

:Unfortunately, Convoy has been known to suffer from differing quality control issues. Because of a design flaw, certain plastic parts in his lower ratcheted knee joints tend to build stress during movement and eventually break. Furthermore, grey and yellow paint in parts that tend to get scratched and bumped during transformation have been prone to paint chipping. Some units have come with their [[For safety reasons|soft plastic]] ear antennas on different heads warped in-package. The human minifigures can have their ball jointed limbs rather easily popping out of their sockets and misassembled ( in this case, Carly with her groin part in reverse from the front).

:Unlike MP-01 and MP-10, this version of Convoy did not get a fully localized Hasbro release for English-speaking markets. However, it is being imported by Hasbro through numerous retail outlets with additional branding using the localized Optimus Prime name and presumably with the same Hasbro-branded slipcover and English safety sheet given to other contemporary ''Masterpiece'' releases. In Canada, the figure is being released as an EB Games exclusive, where he'll cost even more than the game consoles sold there! Hasbro's online product description neglects to mention the voice box gimmick, possibly due to English-speaking audiences' unfamiliarity with Japanese ''Transformers'' media and the fairly late reveal of his English-language voice clips.

:This mold was redecoed as [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Black Convoy]], with the sound gimmick removed, and without the trailer, battle damaged, and Starscream parts.

**''ID number:'' '''MP-44S'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion Blaster, beam effect part, Matrix of Leadership, Energon axe, alternate head

:Released in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand, ''Masterpiece'' MP-44S Optimus Prime is a redeco of "[[#MP44|Convoy Ver.3.0]]", featuring colors based on the [[#The Transformers|original ''The Transformers'' toy]]. Among the heaps of accessories included with the original release of Convoy, Optimus retains only his Ion Blaster (with its beam effect), Energon Axe, and the more rounded head styled after season 1 of the cartoon (here passing the squint test for the toy head). These accessories are the same as MP-49, but now includes the Transformers power base stand adapter. New for this release is a sheet of stickers to reproduce the, erm, sheet of stickers, included with ''The Transformers'' Optimus Prime. As with the previous trailer-less [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#MP49|MP-49 Black Convoy]], the soundbox has been neutered for this release.

:This redeco has noticeably different tolerance changes, with the joints being much tighter than both MP-44 and MP-49. Also unlike MP-49, the entire figure is painted albeit in a lighter, more resistive coat compared to MP-44. The "round head" was given blue eyes (a change from the promotional photos). With the adjusted tolerances in mind, the clips that hook the leg-stored cab panels into the gas tanks have been removed.

:Instead of the standard "Convoy" of Japanese releases based on older media, this toy uses the "Optimus Prime" name. It is explained as a name made popular by Hollywood movies—referring to the [[live-action film series]], which does not change character names in Japanese localization.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' toys, "G1 Convoy" (as he is amusingly referred to even in fiction) visibly takes its cue from ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime, featuring a similar sculpt, but sharing few to none of the larger toy's other attributes, least of all anything that could be described as a successful transformation.

: G1 Convoy comes with two sets of fists, each pair featuring differently-shaped fist holes: one pair with square holes to hold the figure's "Convoy Gun" (as his ion blaster is called), and the other with round 3mm-compatible holes to hold the spring-loaded translucent blue missile launcher (a generic accessory also available with ''Robotmasters'' [[Megatron (BW)/toys|Beast Megatron]] and [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Beast Convoy]]). The fists are swapped out by simply popping them out of the wrist-hinge that holds them in place; the figure also includes an energon-axe that can be inserted into the wrist instead of a fist.

: Due to being molded in translucent plastic, the waist section is prone to breakage, so exercise some caution.

{{toydesigner|[[Shōji Kawamori]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: ''[[Hybrid Style]]'' Optimus Prime is an ''insanely'' detailed and complex transforming toy, created under the supervision of famed mecha designer [[Shōji Kawamori]]. Standing only three and three-quarter inches tall in robot mode, the figure is partially constructed from die-cast metal and features one of the most complex transformation sequences ever seen on a ''Transformers'' figure of its size. Alas, the small size of the figure also works against it, as it required several design concessions that resulted in (if we're being nice about it) an unimpressive cab mode.

:Prime is loaded with a ridiculous number of features and accessories. The robot itself is highly poseable, and both the smokestacks on Prime's shoulders and the fuel tanks on his legs can be rotated forward to act as guns, even featuring sculpted detail to this effect. As ever, he comes with a trailer that opens up into his crazy-detailed Combat Deck, featuring more action features than ever before. In trailer mode alone, it features a flip-down support stand so it can stand alone, a spring-loaded pop-out ramp instead of a fold-down one, and when the trailer is split for transformation, the traditional support legs underneath automatically swing out into place. The trailer houses most of Prime's accessories, including his ion blaster (with a moveable ammo clip to allow for multiple poses) and energon-axe, as well as his classic gas pump accessory, now with a poseable wire instead of a rubber hose. Two fold-out compartments provide storage space for six of Prime's interchangeable fists, while the other two remain attached the robot: two clenched, two open, a pointing right fist, a tilted left fist (for holding the ion blaster's ammo clip), and two fists with slots to grip the miniscule Matrix of Leadership that fits in a tiny chamber in Prime's chest. The Combat Deck's artillery robot features two flip-out handles that Prime can grip as if aiming the drone's guns, and Roller is also included, with three different 3mm ports to hold Prime's gun and gas pump. Lastly, Prime comes with a rocket pack like those used by the Autobots in such Generation 1 cartoon episodes as "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1|Dinobot Island]]", and a stand shaped like the Autobot insignia that allows him to be displayed in mid-air, as if in flight. The rocket pack also has 3mm ports for Prime's weapons, and stores on the front of the trailer in vehicle mode.

:Purchase of a ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime at a Japanese [[Toys"R"Us]] store allowed the buyer the option of also purchasing the exclusive ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Smallest Transforming Transformers|Hot Rod]] toy.

:The toy also received a Hasbro release 11 years later under the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#YOTR2017|''Platinum Edition'']] line.

In addition to all the original accessories, the toys also includes several more deliciously metatextual goodies, themed around the ''Generation 2'' toy and comics: two new large guns patterned after the new weapons wielded by the ''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime toy, and two additional (blue) Prime heads that can be swapped with the figure's regular noggin, sculpted explicitly in the style of [[Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|''Generation 2'' comic]] artist [[Derek Yaniger]]. One head is pristine, the other decorated to match the battle damage seen on the cover of the [[War Without End!|first ''Generation 2'' issue]].

:As the more franchise-savvy TransFans may realise, these extra parts, plus the black trailer of Convoy Black Version, can all be used to modify the original, red ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime into a comic-accurate ''Generation 2'' version, complete with a black trailer, trailer-mounted guns and your choice of Yaniger-style heads.

{{toydesigner|[[Steve Bono]] (Hasbro)|[[Marcelo Matere]] (packaging artist)}}

: ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Optimus Prime transforms into an accurate 1:24 scale Dodge Ram SRT-10. The vehicle mode features rubber tires, functional steering, opening hood, tail gate and doors with a detailed cabin interior. Several of the details of his [[robot mode]] body are based on the sculpt of the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime figure, but the head itself shares more similarities with the Powermaster mold. He is armed with a small pistol which transforms into his vehicle mode engine.

:This figure was originally conceived by Hasbro to be another character (exactly who is unknown), rather than Optimus Prime, but Takara insisted that the toy be made into Optimus to help it sell well in their markets, as the vehicle mode was no particular draw, given its scarcity in Japan. Reportedly, the figure cost twice as much as other Alternators to construct, so Hasbro had to bow to this demand so Takara would help fund it. Ironically, Takara eventually wound up soliciting the figure ''not'' as Prime, but as his ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' lookalike, [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]] (perhaps connected to the Powermasteresque headsculpt), before its Japanese release was cancelled and moved over into the ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' toyline (see below).

: It took two further years, but this figure was eventually released as part of the Japanese counterpart to the ''Alternators'' line (''Binaltech'') in 2008. ''Binaltech'' Convoy features some additional paint details, like his silver pelvis, additional patterns on his shoulders, and red paint on his engine-gun, and like all ''Binaltech'' figures, he also includes die-cast metal pieces. Unlike previous Binaltech releases, a bio-card was not included.

:This sculpt was also used to create ''Alternators'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]].

{{toydesigner|[[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist)}}

: ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' Convoy is a redeco of ''Alternators'' Optimus Prime. While the figures may appear similar at first glance, given that ''Kiss Players'' Prime is still red, blue and black, there are many subtle differences, not least of all the replacement of the ''Alternators'' figure's bare, flat red plastic with a deep metallic red paint. Several of his body parts are cast in different colors of plastic (for example, his shins, formerly black, are now blue, while his formerly-blue hands are now black), and he features more intricate paint applications on his shoulders, and especially his pelvis, which is decorated to look like Prime's traditional bumper.

:In addition to the small engine-pistol of his ''Alternators'' figure, Prime comes with the "Surfblade", a pink surfboard that can be reconfigured into either two small knives or a large double-bladed sword. As with all the ''Kiss Players'' figures, Prime also comes with a [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of a cute girl: in this case, Marissa Faireborn, who can perch upon his shoulder or sit in his driver's seat, and comes with two pairs of interchangeable arms and legs. Additionally, the set includes a CD featuring the first five episodes of the [[Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|''Kiss Players'' radio drama]], as well as the exclusive bonus audio adventure, "[[Someday, Beneath the Sun]]."

:This set was originally intended to be released under the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Binaltech Asterisk]]'' line, as "Black Convoy meets Marissa", but this release was cancelled before it was officially even announced.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (6" Cybertron Heroes, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' [[Ion blaster]], display stand

:Released in the first wave of ''Titanium Series'' 6-inch Cybertron Heroes figures, this figure is based on Optimus Prime's [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] form as seen in the [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] comic book "[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]". Prime transforms into a comic-accurate Cybertronian truck in a few steps, and his ion blaster can be slotted in the back of the truck mode cab for storage.

:The figure was personally designed by comic artist [[Don Figueroa]], who created the original comic design in the first place, and his signature is left on the figure in the most literal way: the word "DON" can be seen sculpted into the barrel of his silver ion blaster. The paint on the handle of his ion blaster scuffs rather easily when placed into his hands.

:As a ''Titanium'' figure, Prime is made in large part from die-cast metal, but like so many of the other toys in the ''Titanium'' line, his plastic joints have trouble supporting his heavy metal weight. For that reason, the tiny insufficient clips that hold his shoulders in place are highly prone to breaking off, leaving his shoulders floppy and unable to be secured in robot mode. He comes with the generic display stand shared by all of the 6" "Cybertron Heroes", with a unique removable nameplate.

: ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Optimus Prime is an all-new modern Optimus Prime design based upon the original Optimus Prime, as is the intention for the ''Classics'' toyline. He transforms into a modern cab-over style truck of made up model, dominated by a large wind vane on his roof. As with most ''Classics'' toys, he features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]].

:In [[robot mode]], his wind vane transforms into a large ion blaster, and his smokestacks transform into a smaller laser cannon. Additionally, both weapons can combine together to form a double-barrelled over-shoulder weapon. Undocumented in the instructions, Optimus can also use the wind vane as a shield, If one of his fists is folded down. The unusually high amount of yellow paint used throughout the body is supposed to emulate the yellow stickers from the original G1 toy. The toy has a trailer hitch, but does not come with a trailer.

:Unfortunately, the yellow paint on his forearms tends to flake off.

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro)|[[Joe Kyde]] (deco artist)}}

: This ''Classics'' Optimus Prime is a smaller, Deluxe Class figure with a noticeable physical resemblance to Takara's ''[[#Robotmasters|Robotmasters]]'' Prime figure, and a transformation that is about as successful. The figure is armed with a tommy gun-shaped laser rifle that transforms into a turret-like configuration and mounts on the rear of his truck mode, and features a spinning "power punch" action that sees the whole upper half of his torso spin when a button on his back is pressed. Pressing the button "unlocks" the spinning mechanism; pull ''hard'' on the button, and you can lock the torso back into place.

:In the United States, Prime was only available in a special two-pack with a similarly unique ''Classics'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Megatron toy]], and the specially-produced "[[Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle|The Ultimate Battle]]" DVD (which is, inappropriately enough, entirely about the [[Unicron Trilogy]]).

International markets, including European countries, saw the two-pack in a considerably smaller, differently-shaped box that was lacking the DVD case (the DVD was instead made available separately). In addition, Mexico, Singapore and some European countries such as the Netherlands and Hungary also received the two figures on individual cardbacks. For the United States market, the two-pack was [[rebranding|rebranded]] and re-released in [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|2003 ''Universe'']]-branded packaging later in 2007, available from Dollar General, Big Lots and [[KB Toys]], and ''again'' in [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']]-branded packaging in 2011, this time available from Dollar General and Big Bad Toy Store.

: Produced to coincide with the 20th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' and its release on DVD by [[Sony]], this edition of Prime is a redeco of his ''[[#Masterpiece|20th Anniversary]]'' figure. It replaces the original's metallic paint with flatter colors and does away with any and all vacuum-metalized plastic, as well as altering several other small details across the body, like the color of the lights on his feet and chest.

:Prime comes with all the accessories of his previous release, although his ever-changing ion blaster is now somewhat confusingly cast in blue plastic. He features one major additional accessory: an electronic display base sculpted with the image of the Matrix and the Autobot insignia. Pressing the insignia's crest triggers a series of electronic soundbytes, mostly quotes from the movie recited not by original actor [[Peter Cullen]], but by Hasbro's in-house actor, [[Ron Hayden]]: "Autobots, transform and roll out!", "I want you to make a special run to Autobot City," "Megatron must be stopped!", "All we need is a little energon, and a lot of luck," and two samples of the classic [[Transformation#The noise|transformation sound effect]], one ascending, one descending.

:The display stand itself was later redecoed as a mail-in prize for TakaraTomy's ''[[Welcome to Transformers 2010]]'' promotion, intended to be used with ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Convoy]], and again when it was packaged with the "Last Production" run of the Masterpiece Optimus Prime toy.

*'''Pepsi Optimus Prime''' (Autobot, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, ion blaster, trailer

:Inspired by the [[#The Transformers|1985 promotional version]] of Optimus Prime that featured Pepsi stickers on his trailer, this outlandish incarnation of Prime is a slightly altered version of Takara's 2005 [[Pepsi Convoy]] figure (which represented a different character to Prime). The figure was only sold by [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] at various conventions, and given away as a promotional prize by Pepsi, via their [[Mountain Dew]] brand.

:A redeco of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime cab robot sporting an egregious number of Pepsi-themed paint masks and details, Pepsi Prime's differences from Pepsi Convoy are minimal: he features the shortened smokestacks previously seen on the [[#Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] release of the mold, the blue pattern on his decals are different (matching the American Pepsi can/bottle look at the time rather than the one used in Japan), and also has a different layout for the Pepsi logo on his left shoulder. Like Pepsi Convoy, he comes with an entirely new trailer unit, specially designed to carry either a single 500ml (16.9 oz) size [[soft drink]] bottle, three 350ml cans, or 12 bottle caps (bottle cap figurines being a common and popular collectible item in Japan). In a first for the Prime mold, the figure's fists store in holes on the underside of the trailer while he is in vehicle mode. His ion blaster (which also stores under the trailer) is the first Hasbro reissue to feature the original, thick-barrel sculpt, which was reinstated to the mold by the ''[[#Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' release of Prime a few years prior.

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

:Surely one of the strangest examples of licensed ''Transformers'' products, ''[[Transformers Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' Convoy transforms into a ''shoe''. Something of a [[shellformer]], this baffling incarnation of Prime is colored primarily white and red in his alt mode of a realistic-looking (if notably undersized) Nike Free 7.0 sneaker, complete with gratuitously long real fabric shoelaces. In [[robot mode]], he is made instantly recognizable by his incorporation of some additional blue and silver in predictable areas, and a traditionally Prime-styled head. Less traditionally, and somewhat perversely, Prime's feet are sculpted in the likeness of his own sneaker mode, making it seem like he's wearing himself!

:His gun splits into two halves and stores inside his [[kibble]] in shoe mode; in an undocumented feature, it has two handle pegs on opposite sides, so that it can be held either at its far end or halfway along its length. The gun halves can also be plugged together in two different ways.

:This figure was, in fact, the ''only'' mold in the ''Sports Label'' line. It was redecoed into the "Marine Free" version of Prime himself (see below), and given a new head to create ''Sports Label'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Sports Label|Megatron]]''

:A new series of reissues means a new release of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure, and Takara's ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' series proved no different. This edition of the figure featured no extra accessories, but it did include the original, thick-barrelled version of Prime's rifle, as reinstated to the mold by the ''[[#The Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' version of the toy a few years prior. Both his blue and red plastics are lighter than normal, though not to the extent of Hasbro's subsequent 25th Anniversary release.

:Notably, this edition addresses the small but persistent issue of the Autobot insignias on Prime's shoulders: Ever since 1984, applying the stickers evenly had been a challenge due to small bumps the figure's shoulders are textured with. Like the [[Pepsi Convoy]] figure released two years prior, ''Encore'' Convoy replaces the stickers with [[tampograph]]s.

*'''Convoy —playing iPod speaker—''' (2007)
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/iPod dock, 2 fists (left and right), ion blaster

: Hot on the heels of their licensing deals with Pepsi and Nike, TakaraTomy got themselves a slice of Apple™ pie and released Convoy —playing [[iPod]] speaker— as part of their small, musically-themed ''[[Transformers Music Label|Music Label]]'' line. This version of Prime is an all-white redeco of the original Generation 1 cab robot, which (much like the "Marine Version" of Prime from the ''[[#Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' line) makes it seem like he ought to be Ultra Magnus. The figure is actually even derived from the retool of the mold created for the original Ultra Magnus figure, as distinguished by the elongated hubcap pegs on the front wheels. Like Pepsi Prime before it, the figure's fists now store in peg holes on the under side of its trailer. The toy lacks any of the original Prime's stickers (even the silver stripe on his chest is now a [[paint operation]]) and includes the original thick-barrelled version of Prime's blaster. The toy features a brand new headsculpt based on the [[#20th Anniversary|20th Anniversary]] Prime figure, given additional poseability not previously seen on the figure by being mounted on a [[ball joint]].

:This, of course, is all secondary to the main draw of the figure: it pulls an all-white trailer, which transforms into a working iPod speaker dock by rotating a substantial wedge of its full length 90 degrees . The dock features three working buttons; power, volume up and volume down, as well as an Autobot sigil indicator light. Included is a wall-plugging (Japanese) A/C adaptor with a long lead that plugs into the reverse of the trailer. Although American importers shouldn't have too much trouble, those living in parts of the world using higher strength A/C current outlets should be warned NOT to simply plug the A/C adaptor in with only a socket adapter, as this will overload the device and fry it completely. Buying the appropriate kind of universal A/C adaptor with advice from an electronics specialty shop is recommended.

:Designated "Optimus Prime" rather than the traditional Japanese "Convoy", this figure is a redeco of the previous ''Music Label'' Convoy figure into the character's traditional red, blue and silver color scheme. Unlike previous re-issues of the mold, iPod Optimus Prime's sports a paint application similar to KissPlayers Convoy, having its ABS/PVC parts painted over with a thin layer of his iconic red, white (silver if you will) and blue motif paint applications (with the exception of his iPod docking trailer). This includes his trailer, though the effect is somewhat marred by the large, visible gap on one side. When reconfigured into dock mode, the interior surfaces surrounding the speakers are decorated with black-on-silver techno-patterns as well as three "Optimus Prime" logos. The recessed space also features a stylised, almost [[Frank Miller]]esque, high-contrast portrait of Prime's face, although this is largely covered when an iPod is inserted. The figure comes in identical packaging to the original ''Music Label'' Convoy, save for the addition of a sticker illustrating the different color of its contents.

**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster

:Rounding out a bumper year of Japanese-[[exclusive]] Generation 1 Optimus Primes, the Takara-licensed Kawada brand ''Diablock'' Convoy is a fully transformable Lego-style block building figure similar in premise to the earlier American ''[[Built to Rule!]]'' sets. The ''Diablock'' figure, however, easily outstrips the ''Built to Rule!'' sets by both being an accurate representation of the toy on which it is based, and being able to transform between modes ''without'' having to be partially disassembled and put back together first.

:Forming a roughly 11-inch figure when fully assembled, ''Diablock'' Convoy is highly articulated, save for his head, which is only able to move up and down. Said head is also by far the most stylised aspect of the figure, with no real attempt to approximate Prime's face or mouthplate, instead featuring only a reversed block that gives the odd impression of a cycloptic eye. It is possibly intended to actually represent his forehead grill, as a yellow block inside his head construction remains barely-visible through a slit in his face, possibly intended to represent the classic toy's yellow eyes.

:The figure's [[transformation scheme]] is based on the original G1 figure, the only differences being that the fists are not removed but become the headlights, and instead of flipping backwards inside the chest, ''Diablock'' Convoy's noggin flips forwards with the aid of opening chest windows. A "laser rifle" in the shape of his ion cannon can be built from black bricks, and stickers bearing the Autobot [[Insignia|faction symbol]] can be placed on his shoulders, although this is not recommended as it is designed to permanently stick to multiple tiles which dislodge easily and may damage the sticker.

:Sold at the rather exorbitant price of $75, this re-release of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy is actually one of the most visually different from the other "straight" reissues of the mold, despite Hasbro's assurance that this is the toy you had as a kid. Positively ''anemic'' in comparison with the original toy, this Prime's red parts are visibly paler than usual, while his blue parts are much lighter (although the version released at Canadian retail reportedly sports a deeper shade of red again). This shade of blue extends to both Roller (a lighter blue than his traditional dark shade, yet darker than the lightest the figure has been in its history) and the internal workings of his Combat Deck, which is itself a much flatter shade of light grey, compared to its normal dark, swirled metallic silver color. In addition, the toy features the now-customary shortened smokestacks, and the elongated missiles seen on the [[#Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] release, while the Autobot insignias on his shoulders are no longer stickers, but rather tampographs, like on Takara's ''Encore'' release. While all reissues of the Prime mold since 2003 have used the original thick-barreled mold for his ion blaster, this version includes the slender sculpt instead.

:As a 25th anniversary set, Prime includes several new pack-in bonuses: a reprint of the [[The Transformers (issue)|first issue]] of the original [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|comic book]], a DVD containing all three parts of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]] pilot [[More than Meets the Eye (mini-series)|"More than Meets the Eye"]], and three desktop wallpapers, and a battery-powered Autobot symbol that plays transforming sound effects, part of the first version of the ''Transformers'' [[theme song]], and three voice clips performed by Peter Cullen: "I am Optimus Prime!", "Autobot, transform and roll out!" and "Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost." There are some reports that the Autobot symbol could be worn out or damaged during the time of purchase.

:Outside the United States, this set was available in a thinner rectangular box. It contained all the original accessories from the American release, but not the DVD. An English-only version of this packaging format was available in Asia and Australia (initially only available at Myer stores, but later also at Toys"R"Us, Kmart and Target, eventually at drastically reduced prices), while a bilingual English/French packaging variant was available in Canada, still including—though not advertised on the packaging—the (English only) comic book.

**''ID number:'' '''A-01'''
{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] (concept artist)}}

:''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' Convoy transforms into a 1:32 scale Nissan GT-R, featuring die-cast metal parts, an opening hood, trunk and doors, as well as an interior, complete with his feet and thighs being sculpted to form the back seats. This complex figure stands at 6.5" tall, and is armed with a pair of blasters on each arm. In the hyper-dimensional world of the oft-confusing ''Alternity'' fiction, this figure specifically represents the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Story of Binaltech|Optimus Prime]] of [[universal stream]] [[BT World|Primax 903.0 Beta]].

:The mold suffers from a [[Design flaw|minor design oversight]], wherein the rear Nissan badge collides with his left leg strut when the left foot is hinged over and pegged into a clear plastic socket during transformation, with the results being that the connection is slightly crooked, isn't very secure, and sometimes pops off, and that the crooked pegging often causes the socket to crack.

:''Alternity'' Convoy was simultaneously available in both this silver coloration, and a deco based on his traditional appearance termed "Vibrant Red" (see below). The figure was later redecoed to create "[[Nemesis Prime (Universe)#Alternity 2|Convoy [Super Black]]]" (representing not Optimus Prime, but ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)|Nemesis Prime]]), ''Alternity'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Alternity|Ultra Magnus]], and ''Alternity'' [[Dai Atlas (G1)#Alternity|Dai Atlas]]. It was retooled into ''[[Transformers GT: Mission GT-R (franchise)|Transformers GT]]'' [[#GT|GT-R Prime]], [[Star Saber (G1)#GT|GT-R Saber]], [[Megatron (G1)/toys#GT|GT-R Megatron]] and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#GT|GT-R Maximus]].

{{toydesigner|[[Hisao Nishimoto]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Part of the sixth wave of ''Transformers'' Deluxes (the second and final wave of ''Reveal the Shield''), this Optimus Prime is a Deluxe Class mold based on the original ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Laser Optimus Prime toy ([[#LaserOptimusPrime|see above]]). Transforming into an International 8200 truck, he has some influences from the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus Prime]], including the more defined flames on his hood, athletic [[robot mode]] proportions and a more aggressive-looking translucent orange sword that can be held with both hands for maximum extreme chopitude. Optimus Prime features extensive use of translucent plastic in his arms, head and upper torso for a [[light-piping]] effect. Optimus also has a (non-detachable) matrix gimmick in robot mode that is formed by a relief pattern on the inside of the cab's side windows and is visible through the windshield/chest in robot mode. Like the Legends toy, he's part of ''Reveal the Shield'' and features a [[rubsign]], this time on the roof. He is also ''very'' articulated and poseable, even featuring ankles and wrists that are both [[Ball joint|ball-joint]]ed ''and'' [[Swivel joint|hinged]].

: The original Hasbro [[Stock photography|stock photos]] depict him as having red [[paint operation]]s on his kneecaps and the sunken ridges around his blue abs that the final product lacks. The photos on the cardback show him with a red Autobot symbol on his truck door and blue plastic instead of grey for the piece just in front of his rear tires. The back photo also depicts his side windows as being the same translucent orange as the front ones, when they are, in reality, a garish solid orange.

: Multiple reports suggest that the toy suffers from a [[design flaw]], inferior plastic quality, or both: due to his hands having peg-holes that are a bit too small to accommodate [[5 mm post]]s, they have a tendency to show stress marks on the inside after pegging his sword handle (or most other pegs) inside. Stress marks also tend to appear near his tiny hinged wrists. Fortunately, there have been no reports of the hands actually ''breaking'' on either location thus far.

: This toy was redecoed into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]/[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Optimus Prime (SG)#BotCon2012|Optimus Prime]] and ''Timelines'' [[Scourge (RID)#Timelines|Scourge]], and was retooled into ''Timelines/Shattered Glass'' [[Ultra Magnus (SG)#Timelines|Ultra Magnus]].

His rifle transforms as well, folding and plugging into the roof of the vehicle mode. The rifle can also peg into his forearms, and, in its compact configuration, can attach to his shoulders via peg holes on the backs of his front tires or stored behind his back in [[robot mode]].

:The second Optimus Prime toy in TakaraTomy's ''United'' toyline is another redeco of the ''Classics'' multi-pack Deluxe-sized toy (the first release in Japan), this time featuring an extensive metallic red paint job on the majority of the red plastic, and he features metallic sheen on the unpaintable red plastic and his blue plastic is now brighter. While the paint masks are identical to the Special Edition release, ''United'' Optimus Prime features additional paint operations on the hip, the stomach grille, the fold-up waist panels, the lower chest piece (at least in the front), and the forehead.

:Although the stock photo (pictured from the right) shows both of his biceps painted silver with his Autobot insignia tampographed on the left shoulder, the final product omits the paint operation (due to being molded with unpaintable plastic) and the insignia is placed on his left forearm, just like his ''Classics'' figure.

:The third ''United'' Optimus Prime toy is a redeco and slight retool of the [[#Transformers (2010)|Deluxe Class figure]] from Hasbro's 2010 ''Transformers'' toyline, itself an homage to Prime's ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|"Laser" form]]. The toy features translucent blue plastic as opposed to Hasbro's orange, red paint is used on the biceps instead of blue paint, extra red paint applications on the knees like the original's sticker detail, and more broken-up red apps on the shoulders. Silver detailing was added to the cab mode on the grill, the bumper, and near the doors. The blue plastic in cab mode is now black plastic to make the figure more accurate to the ''Generation 2'' original. The gray plastic is changed from the Hasbro version to more closely match the [[#G2reissue|2006 reissue of Laser Optimus Prime]]. Black paint was applied to the cab mode to mimic the fade from red to black on the original Laser Optimus, but still includes a flame deco like the Hasbro version, only in a different design. It lacks the roof-mounted rubsign of the Hasbro version, instead including Autobot insignias on the cab doors. (Disappointingly, they are Generation 1 insignias, rather than ''Generation 2'' ones!) Additionally, a retool was made to the peg on the inside of his right shoulder, to make it shorter and wider than the Hasbro version, allowing it to move freely without hitting the torso, unlike the Hasbro release.

:Available [[exclusive]]ly at the [[Tokyo Toy Show]] 2012 (along with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Shining|''Prime'' Shining Optimus Prime]]), Black Optimus Prime is a very minor redeco of the previously unreleased [[#GenteiBlack|''Gentei!

As such, Black Optimus Prime is mostly cast in black plastic, with some gray parts, translucent red windows and teal paint operations.

:The only differences with the unreleased version, aside from the packaging, are that silver paint has been added to the previously unpainted grill/fender area, the blue paint operations have been changed to teal, and the red Autobot insignias have been replaced by purple Decepticon ones. Prime's [[bio]] apparently explains that he took on this new color scheme in order to infiltrate the Decepticon ranks, in response to recent attacks by some new Decepticon forces pretending to be Autobots.

:This reissue of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure comes in a two-pack with the Deluxe-Class ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Chronicle|Optimus Prime figure]]. Prime himself is almost identical to the ''Encore'' release, save for his trailer hitch which was retooled to allow a peg to be inserted within it while still being able to be inserted into the trailer itself (making it compatible with his G1 trailer and the new trailer included). Like the Encore release, he features lighter colors and tampographed shoulder symbols (which vary slightly from the Encore release).

:His original trailer is not included with the set; instead, he comes with [[Armored Weapons Platform#Chronicle|a new deluxe-scaled trailer]], not available with any other figure, based on the one towed by Prime in ''Dark of the Moon''. The trailer is compatible with both figures, and sports [[5 mm post|5mm post]]-holes that will hold (among many other things) G1 Prime's laser rifle and the [[MechTech]] weapon Movie Prime is armed with.

:Oddly, for their official [[stock photography|promotional photography]], Takara took an existing photo of Optimus Prime's robot mode that was at least a decade old, having previously been used as a very early (and inaccurate) illustration for Hasbro's then upcoming ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' reissue of the figure.

: Intended to be [[exclusive]] to [[BotCon 2011]], this redeco of the regular Optimus Prime Kreon has an open chest showing the [[Matrix of Leadership]] within. He comes with a G1 inspired gun and a black brick display stand.

: We say "intended", because in actuality, the thing appears to have been produced in such huge quantities that it's wound up being made available in ''loads'' of other places—it was handed out at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011, offered as a free giveaway with any order that included Transformers toys on [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]), as a free gift on the cover of the ''[[Awesome Autobots Activity Book]]'', and came as a free gift attached to, of all things, issue #240 of the [[United Kingdom|UK]] children's comic, ''[[Doctor Who]] Adventures'' (but not the UK's [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Transformers comic]], you'll note!).

:A supposed factory error even caused this version (minus display stand) to be included in the larger Optimus Prime kit (see below). This problem has (presumably) been fixed, but it was awesome while it lasted.

: Naturally, Optimus Prime got the biggest of the sets in the first year of ''Kre-O''. The set can be built into a large long-nose tractor-trailer rig with a removable "sleeper" cab that hides a computer station, and a trailer that can carry the set's two motorcycles or open up to carry larger car builds. The robot mode build includes a huge Optimus, based largely on the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus]], though with a head based almost directly on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'' Voyager Optimus]]. He is armed with a distressingly plain brick that fires pressure-launched missiles (aka his smokestacks). Most of the leftover parts in robot mode become a "headquarters" which is mostly just a random assemblage of mismatched-color panels and a pair of barricades. Both main builds leave numerous parts unused if you go expressly by the instructions, but hey, it's a building kit, surely you can find ''someplace'' to apply most of them.

: The set comes with a bevy of [[Kreon]]s, including Optimus Prime (this one based heavily on Generation 1 Optimus), [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Bluestreak]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Skywarp]], and a pair of human [[Stunt Driver]]s. A packaging error resulted in some releases of this set to come with the promotional "Matrix chest" Optimus (see above) rather than the normal version pictured here.

:Speaking of errors, the instruction manuals (he has two) both have errors in their parts listings, showing numerous pieces in the wrong colors or not making it clear that some parts are, well, clear. Making things more confusing, not all of these miscolors are reflected in the step-by-step instructions, while a couple new ones are added there.

: Part of the first assortment of "Custom Kreons", this version of Optimus Prime 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 Kreons, based on the [[#The Transformers|original Optimus Prime toy]]. His "normal" helmet (and small sword) are [[Vacuum metallizing|chromed]], 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 large rifle, a buildable wing-pack, and a ray pistol (originally an [[Andorian]] blaster from ''Kre-O Star Trek'').

: This version of Optimus, part of the [[Kreon Class of 1984]], lays heavy on the toy-based tampographs (though they are completely different from the other iterations), and like the others in the set, has a more animation-model-inspired face deco, what with having a nose and all.

:He was only available in a pack of 30 Kreons dubbed "Class of 1984". This set was made for sale at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014. Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online after the convention, but as the set sold out at the show, that never happened.

**''Accessories'': Optimus Rifle

: Released in the third wave of "Brick Box" sets, and found only at Dollar General stores, this version of Optimus Prime uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes the torso incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. Nice. His face and torso tampographs are new.

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

**''Set Number'': '''B0715'''

**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle

: Part of the first wave of "Battle Changers", this version of Optimus Prime is a ''severely'' built-up Kreon that transforms from truck into a robot and back without removing any parts! However, the sheer chunkiness of his limbs hanging off a Kreon torso make for awkward positioning and questionable balljoint grip strength.

: Like the rest of the Battle Changers, he was available in selected Asian countries in December 2014. These sets only appeared in the US through closeout chains like Ross and TJ Maxx in 2015.

**''Pieces'': ''198''
**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle, trailer
:This version of Battle Changers Optimus was only available in a two pack set with [[Megatron (Kre-O)#Battle Changers|Battle Changer Megatron]]. He is ''largely'' the same construction as as the single release, but has numerous small differences. He uses a new "double harness" piece on his torso instead of using two harnesses, leaving more space for his head to grip the neck-post, and his chest/windshield parts are each a single clipped "flag" part rather than the multi-part assembly of the single-pack. And of course there's the additional trailer, which doesn't have any official robot mode rebuild, and only loosely "connects" to the truck-mode Optimus by being lightly hooked to a single short bar on the back of Optimus's right leg.

:This set, like the one above, was only available in the US through closeout chains like Ross and TJ Maxx in 2015.

:"Mini-Con Combiner"' Optimus comes with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville''-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

: The main torso-bot is based on Generation 1 Optimus's original body. Two of his limbs are based on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]; one "normal" (Inferno helmet), one pre-[[Earth]]-body (Knock Out helmet). Another is based on [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action Optimus]] (Soundwave helmet), and the remaining one (Ironhide helmet)... actually looks to be based on the Optimus-like-but-not-Optimus [[Micromaster]] [[Overload (G1)|Overload]]! The heck?

:[https://www.seibertron.com/events/fullsize.php?event_id=400&size=1&image=29 First shown at New York Toy Fair 2015], the Mini-Con Combiners were apparently cancelled without fanfare... a decision that must have come late in the day, as they went on to star in their own promotional animation, "[[Stuck in a Tree]]", released about eight months after the trade show.

:Part of the first wave of "Battle Upgrade" ''[[Hero Mashers]]'' toys, Optimus is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

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

:While he is the same size as a standard Hero Masher, his larger [[size class|price point]] is made up for with a lot more parts and gimmicks. Both of his hands are removable, which allows for accessories to be placed in his wrist sockets, notably his iconic "energy axe". His rifle is a spring-loaded missile launcher.

:Part of the first (and only) wave of larger electronic ''Hero Mashers Transformers'' toys, the base Optimus Prime figure in this set is ''almost'' identical to the above "Battle Upgrade" toy; this version has a closed right fist that can hold accessories rather than the Battle Upgrade version's finger-pointy one.

:However, this set comes with a completely different (and much larger) pile of accessories to turn Optimus (or any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure) into a hulking armored warrior. He comes with an extra left forearm with an electronic light, used to light up clear-plastic accessories when they're plugged into his wrist socket. Several of these accessories take inspiration from the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action Optimus]]'s gear, notably a very ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]''-esque shield.

:Oddly, the big stompy boots accessories are designed in a way that Optimus is really far back in them, leaving a huge gap between his shins and the boots' "knee" guards. Presumably this is to accommodate other ''Hero Mashers'' toys with much larger footprints.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legion Class, 2014/2015/2017)
**<s>''Accessories'': Sword</s>
:Another release of the ''Reveal the Shield'' Legends Class sculpt, the deco for its initial release is ''almost'' identical to the ''Transformers'' release from 2012, having silver chest-windows instead of light-metallic-blue, plus a large "CE" mark and number on the backs of its legs, declaring the toy meets European product safety requirements. The tooling is identical to the 2012 release's running change variant, with the retooled hands and a hole on the back of his head/top compatible with [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] [[C joint|3mm]] pegs.

:Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Optimus Prime/Autobot Roller two-pack's packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from ''Reveal the Shield'' Optimus Prime's packaging and only slightly altered, advertising a "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn't actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the toy with the sword that came with the running change variant of the sculpt's 2012 release, even though the actual toy doesn't include the sword.

:Legion Class Optimus Prime has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] repleaced the red Autobot insignia with a black version. This later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and Russia. In Singapore it was released together with [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]] as part of the promotion for ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' in selected cinemas.
:This figure was made available again, without any changes, in 2015, this time in new packaging resembling the then-concurrent packaging design for the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' line, but replacing the name "Generations" with "Authentic Transformers". It was also given a new Hasbro product code number and UPC barcode, thereby technically making it a separate product. In 2017, it was re-released ''again'', this time in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]], the Black Insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia., and even returned to discount stores like Five Below and 99 Cents Only in the US in 2020.

He transforms into an off-road vehicle and comes with numerous weapons, all of which peg via 5mm post onto his vehicle rear/legs, shoulders, upper & lower arms, and hands: a spring-loaded, missile-firing launcher, a pistol, a rifle, and two small cannons that respectively form the scope and stock of the rifle. All of his weapons can combine to form an unwieldy superweapon. The flaws from the original mold are likely to be retained from this release.

*'''Convoy Grand Prime''' (giftset, [[February 27]], [[2016]])
**''ID number:'' '''UW-05'''
**''Accessories'': Weapons, 4 Gun/Fist/Foots
:Takara's iteration of ''Combiner Wars'' Optimus Maximus is sold in a gift set including all five Autobots (minus the Rodimus mold). This version of Convoy has numerous changes in deco to better match his look in the Generation 1 cartoon. Like ''Unite Warriors'' [[Menasor (G1)#Unite Warriors|Menasor]], the set also features some minor improvements to the original sculpts, such as improved hip-ratchets for Convoy for increased stability. He also had the slightly modified pegs that Legends Class Rodimus (or Blackjack, Runabout, and Runamuck) can securely attach to, which was previously used for Battle Core Optimus Prime. The tampographed Autobot insignia on the roof/flip-out head joint is now re-positioned to his side truck panels.

:Compared to the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Combiner Wars|''Combiner Wars'' release]] of the mold, Convoy features additional paint operations on the thighs, truck bumpers, the details on the inner legs, the gestalt chest halves (which are now painted over due to being molded in grey plastic), and the gestalt torso's lower section. The stomach's deco is also minimized, and the silver paint operations on the lower legs are now replaced with gunmetal while the mute metallic blue is now shiny metallic. When it comes to unpaintable plastic; his knee joints and feet are blue while the majority of the shoulder joints are now red. In addition, his gestalt skirt flap is now molded in the same grey color, and the leg panels and thighs are now molded in black, with the latter being painted in silver with some yellow details. As the thighs are painted, care must be taken while transforming him in both modes, as they're somewhat prone to paint scraping. To minimize the damage, the two rear halves must be opened first to transform the legs.

:Despite the ratchet fix, however, Convoy is also the weakest link of the gestalt combination, due to several 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 number 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.

He transforms into a (non-functional) scaled-down replica of the 2002 au INFOBAR, and in lieu of cellphone functions, the figure can be paired via Bluetooth with a smartphone, such as an iPhone, to act as a notification alarm in either robot or INFOBAR mode.

*'''[[Transformers Fan Book 2023]]''' (TV-Magazine Mook, 2023)
**''Release Date'': August 22, 2023

:The fourth ''[[Transformers Fan Book (series)|Transformers Fan Book]]'' comes with the "Optimus Prime (Red Clear Version)" toy, redecoed from the [[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|''Kingdom'']] Core Class [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)/Generations_toys#War_for_Cybertron:_Kingdom|mold]]. with the deco once again based on the ''Generation 2''-inspired colors used for the ''Chronicle'' EZ Collection figure.

:His transformation shares engineering with the ''Thrilling 30'' Legends figure, but with sculpted detailing directly based on the ''Earthrise'' mold, down to details 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.

:As a redeco of the Core Class mold, Optimus Prime (Red Clear Version) can hitch the trailer (with the trailer hitch/shield panel on) from the Hasbro Pulse exclusive Optimus Prime & Bumblebee 2-pack.

==Robosen Collector's Edition==
[[File:Robosen_Optimus_Prime_stock.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|This isn't your slightly older brother's [[Automorph Technology|automorph.]]]]
*'''Optimus Prime Auto-Converting Robot''' (2021)
**''Accessories'': carrying case, laser rifle, energy axe, non-removable exhaust pipes, wall charger, micro USB to USB 2.0 cable

:Robosen's Optimus Prime is a highly interactive, programmable transforming robot. With over 5,000 pieces, 60 microchips, 27 servo motors, 6 high-intensity [[light-emitting diode|LED]]s, 80 different sound effects including voice clips from Peter Cullen, a dedicated iOS/Android bluetooth app interface, and a pricetag of $750 USD, it blurs the line between "toy" and "high-end showroom electronics." Users can choose between multiple ways to control its robotic movements: including pre-programmed voice commands, pre-programmed app controls, or user-created movement scripts. In truck mode, it can drive as directed or honk its horn. In its [[#MP10|MP-10 Convoy]]-influenced 19"-tall robot mode, it can execute a long list of included scripted actions featuring voice and sound effects, plus an infinite variety of user-programmed poses and user-scripted movement sequences. It has distinct attack movements and sounds to be used with its weapons, and has flip-out wrist communicators featuring sticker images of Megatron and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]].

:The main power source is an internal rechargeable lithium ion [[battery-powered motor|battery]]. The truck's front bumper flips down to expose the charging port and the separate micro USB interface port. A replaceable CR 1220 3V battery powers the "laser rifle's" LED; it's not really a laser, but it's bright. The instructions say don't look straight at it.

:In voice command mode, the spoken user command for conversion between truck and robot modes is officially supposed to be "[[Trademark#Genericized trademarks|convert]]," but secretly the toy will respond the same if you say "transform." It also responds to more than 30 other simple words and phrases which trigger other animations and basic functions: such as: "turn left" to turn left, "move right" to step to the right, or "hero" to strike a superheroic ground-punching pose. 6 months after launch, the Robosen software developers were still releasing new movement animations and firmware updates via channels that can be found in the official app, with no announced end date for their continuing improvements.

:27 servo motors might sound like a lot, but compared to contemporary 1st-party figures costing hundreds and hundreds (''and hundreds!'') of dollars less, this item does lack some some pretty standard joints: such as neck rotation, wrist rotation, and the type of leg rotation that would have allowed the feet to point in different directions.

:Although this Optimus Prime does mostly transform on its own, there are some additional manual adjustments required to make each mode look the way it's advertised. In robot mode, one red panel can be removed from the back of the head, and the gas tanks can be moved into a lower position on the legs. If the gas tanks are not lowered, they can protrude enough to obstruct animation. For vehicle mode, the removable red panel should be reattached, gas tanks moved back so they don't cover the wheels, and the side-view mirrors can be flipped out.

:In truck mode, especially via app control, Optimus is a fully functional remote control vehicle that can move forward, backward, and turn. Its steering does not happen the way real trucks do when they tilt the axles of the front wheels within their wheel wells; Instead, Optimus turns by throwing both legs simultaneously to one side or the other, which gives the appearance that the entire cab is pivoting around a central axis.

:In robot mode, Optimus' default idle behavior is not to stand perfectly still. Instead, he will slowly "breathe" with a subtle inhaling/exhaling motion like a human would have after aerobic exercise. From there, he will occasionally shift into other statuesque poses.

:When asked to turn right or left in robot mode, Optimus is not able to perform that action in two or three normal steps with ankle and hip rotation like a human would. He lacks any leg joints that rotate around a vertical axis, so for him to rotate his body to the right, he must perform a startling stutter shuffle move. He pushes one foot out slightly forward, the other foot slightly backward, and maintains that orientation while rapidly sliding his legs together and apart more than once per second until the asymmetrical rapid sliding friction of his feet against the floor eventually scoots him into facing a different direction. This movement can wear out the paint on his inner soles pretty fast, even on smoother surfaces.

:None of the toy's motorized joints are capable of supporting substantial weight without electricity. This means that when powered off, the robot cannot stand upright without external support. If the toy is in robot mode and senses its batteries are getting low, then to prevent a damaging fall, it will automatically shift into a droopy squatting pose that it can safely sustain while powered off. The average operating time from a full battery charge is approximately 40 minutes. The charging port is not accessible while the robot is standing up. Plugging in the charger while the toy is powered on might endanger fragile components.

:Yes, the above means that this toy in effect cannot be displayed in robot mode when not in active use. It can't really be displayed in the proper truck mode either, as the robot legs need battery power to stay rigidly locked into truck configuration and will droop when turned off. It is rather clearly intended to remain in its protective carrying case most of the time.

:Aside from the laser rifle, none of the LED lights in the eyes, headlights, or tail lights can be deactivated while the toy is powered on. In robot mode, the brake lights shine brightly from the backs of the feet, and the headlights shine from within the forearms. Some of the pre-programmed actions exploit this deliberately, by having Optimus brandish his bright headlights as flip-out weapons. The laser rifle's LED turns on and off with its own physical switch.

:Many of the pre-loaded animations assume Optimus is holding his gun in his right hand and/or that he is holding his axe in his left hand. The toy has no sensors to detect whether those accessories are in place, and the app does not consistently label which animations use accessories. It also does not label the many animations that might damage the toy if attempted while accessories are attached, but <s>transforming</s> converting him or punching the ground would be a bad idea. So don't activate any animations while the accessories are attached unless you're sure you know what will happen.

:In addition to action/fighting/greetings animations, there are also many silly animations available from the official download page, including: Air Guitar with the G1 cartoon theme song, air drumming, a gyrating silent "Christmas" dance, doing push-ups then getting exhausted and passing out, and the {{w|Dab_(dance)|Dab}}.

:The app-controlled motion programming interface is extremely complex. The position of each joint at each step in an animation can be dictated either with numerical parameters, or by sensing the positions of the joints on the toy during programming. Many poses can be strung together to form long action sequences. The app uses long gamified sequences of tutorials to teach programming techniques and unlock more sound clips for use in more animations. Despite that available complexity though, there are some actions used by official animations that cannot be performed in customized sequences: such as a head nod, a full mode conversion, or vehicle driving commands.

:Given this piece's fragility, complexity, and high cost, it is appropriate that it is packaged in a heavy duty foam-padded carrying case, complete with clasps and a handle. But the case can't protect from paint wear issues that arise quickly via actual use. Prime's knuckles and feet will instantly get severe scrape marks if he transforms on a rough surface like concrete, but even smooth unvarnished wood can wear the gloss off the paint before long. Even soft carpeting might not be safe, as some users report toppling issues due to a ''lack'' of traction.

:The sound effect for Prime's gun is of a distinctly "realistic" machine gun, and Hasbro has stated this effect may be changed.<ref>[https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/22623017/optimus-prime-transformer-auto-converting-programmable-robot-hasbro-robosen Review of Robosen Optimus Prime] mentioning the sound effect choice</ref>

:Accurate 3-D images of this Robosen toy appear throughout its app interface, but the app also decorates prominent buttons with drawings of ''[[Evergreen]]'' Optimus. The app and manual also contain many mistakes in spelling, grammar, typography, labeling transposition, etc.

:This item was revealed on [[Hasbro Pulse]] in April 2021, and began shipping to purchasers in October 2021. The TakaraTomy release of the figure is unchanged, though the dialogue will be swapped from English to Japanese with [[Tesshō Genda]] reprising his role.

*'''Flagship Optimus Prime''' (2022)
**''Accessories'': carrying case, laser rifle, energy axe, non-removable exhaust pipes, wall charger, micro USB to USB 2.0 cable

:One year after the release of the original Robosen Optimus Prime, the figure was re-labeled as "Flagship Optimus Prime" and rereleased with no changes.... except the price tag, now $999.

*'''Elite Optimus Prime''' (2022)
**''Accessories'': carrying case, laser rifle, energy axe, non-removable exhaust pipes, wall charger, micro USB to USB 2.0 cable

:"Elite Optimus Prime" is a downsized version of the original (and now "Flagship") Robosen Optimus Prime, standing a mere 16" instead of 19" and costing $699. The different proportions result in a few noticeable but minor visual changes, such as the fuel tanks on his legs being a different shape and elevation compared to the original toy. It retains all the features and programmable functions as the original.

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

:The first ever collaboration between [[Hasbro]] and one of its main competitors, [[LEGO]], 10302 Optimus Prime is a fully brick-built model of the Autobot leader standing 13.5 inches tall, released under LEGO's ''[[fandom:Brickipedia:Icons|Icons]]'' subtheme. Unlike (most of) Hasbro's ''[[Kre-O]]'' sets that preceded it, this ''LEGO'' Optimus Prime set is fully transformable from robot to truck mode without having to disassemble any parts. He also includes an optional waist piece for fans to either display him with the Generation 1 toy-accurate truck bumper or the cartoon-accurate yellow block-shaped detail. A tall, top-heavy model, stability concerns mean he is not as articulated as a normal action figure, notably lacking bending knees.

:Prime comes with a plethora of brick-built accessories. He includes his ion blaster, his "Energon axe" (which can plug into either wrist once you remove the fist), a pink "Energon cube", the "Autobot Matrix of Leadership" (which can be stored inside his chest), and a jetpack based on the one he borrowed from [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]" (which can be attached to his back). Aside from the Matrix, only the ion blaster has dedicated storage when Prime is in truck mode, fitting between his legs to form the truck's trailer hitch; according to a small trivia blurb in the instructions, this is because the ion blaster was the only accessory in the set that was also included with the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy. Of course, this is LEGO we're talkin' about, so if you want, you can store the rest of the stuff on him anywhere you see some exposed studs!

:To round things out, an ''[[fandom:Brickipedia:Ultimate Collector's Series|Ultimate Collector's Series]]''-styled display plaque featuring Optimus Prime's name (in both English and Ancient Autobot), function, motto, and [[Tech Spec]]s is included.

:Optimus Prime's [[Instructions|instruction booklet]] contains a short segment written by none other than LEGO Senior Designer [[Joe Kyde]], which showcases the history of the ''Transformers'' brand and the character of Optimus Prime. Unfortunately, said instructions also contain an assembly error: the stickered details on Prime's thighs are applied upside down compared to the Generation 1 [[character model]]. This error is also present on the [[stock photography]] on the packaging. Fortunately, the panels can be removed easily and reinstalled in the correct orientation for a more accurate robot mode. The aforementioned blurb also contains an amusing compromise—giving up on any attempt to reconcile Optimus's famous catchphrase and the need to protect Hasbro's ''Transformers'' [[trademark]], it renders the iconic command as [[:File:Convert and roll out.jpg|"Autobots, ''convert'' and roll out!"]]

**''Release Date'': June 30, 2022
**''Accessories'': Blaster, "[[Flight stand#Flight stands|Tenseg Base]]"
:This uniquely branded ''Anti-Gravity Pedestal Tenseg Base'' release of Optimus Prime is a redeco of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Ultra Magnus]]'s inner robot. Optimus Prime comes with a silver "Tenseg Base" which he can attach to, simulating a "floating" pose. Optimus Prime retains ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]''/''Kingdom'' Ultra Magnus's blaster accessory, colored in a darker metallic gray in a possible attempt to emulate Prime's usual [[ion blaster]].

:Unusually for TakaraTomy, the vehicle mode stock photos are slightly mistransformed - the upper body isn't slid all the way forward, which makes the truck grille appear misaligned. Also, the Hasbro Pulse listing of the figure labels it as a "[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'']]" figure, likely because the figure's box comes sheathed in a ''Masterpiece'' branded sleeve.

:Sold separately are two alternately colored bases; one in heroic Autobot red and the other in '''EVIL''' Decepticon purple. Initially due for release in March 2022, Prime and the bases were eventually released on June 30.

:In a happy accident of cross-compatibility, Tenseg Base Optimus Prime can be equipped with the armor and alternate head included with ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Ultra Magnus]] to replicate the [[:File:RedCabPoweredConvoy.jpeg|red cab variant]] of ''[[Diaclone]]'' Powered Convoy released in [[GiG]]'s short-lived ''[[Trasformer]]'' {{sic}} toyline, minus Super Buggy.

:''[[Canon/Transformers]]'' Optimus Prime is a roughly Voyager-sized figure that transforms into a fully licensed Canon [[EOS R5]] digital camera. The toy is 80% the size of the genuine article and features a removable lens attachment, though it must be reattached to him before he can transform to robot mode since it forms his arms. The lens cap is removable and is used as a shield in robot mode. His included [[Matrix of Leadership]] can be pegged onto his lens, just behind the front element. He also comes with a small version of his own camera mode.

:Both his Matrix and small camera accessory can be pegged into his palms. His hands feature a range of movement, with the thumb and index finger being articulated and the remaining fingers joined together.

: Produced in collaboration with Japanese space agency {{w|JAXA}} and {{w|Toyota}}, Lunar Cruiser Prime is a roughly Voyager-sized figure that transforms into the as-of-2023 current version of Toyota's "Lunar Cruiser" concept for an enclosed lunar rover, in part to promote TakaraTomy's own unmanned "SORA-Q" rover, which successfully deployed on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] in January 2024 (after some delays). The large solar panel can tab onto the tube on the left side of the vehicle, or be folded in half and tucked away inside the vehicle's back end. The round roof-mounted antenna is on an adjustable armature.

: In robot mode, Prime can hold the solar panel like a shield. Both the shield and radar dish can attach to the adjustable "smokestack"-like assemblies on each of his shoulders, leaving his hands free. A [[Matrix of Leadership]] can also be spotted molded into the drivers' compartment.

:The figure was made available one month ahead of its general release on Japanese crowdfunding site Campfire in four tiers:
::* A version identical to the general release.
::* A package including a modular ''Masterpiece'' style stand.
::* A package with a thank you message on the TakaraTomy website, available to 40 people.
::* A package with a personal thank you message from [[Tesshō Genda]], the iconic original Japanese voice of Optimus Prime available to 10 people.

: The campaign opened at 10 AM on [[June 8]], 2023 and ran through midnight on [[July 17]]. Within the first 24 hours it blew past 300% of its initial 1 million JPY (approx. $7200 USD) goal.

{{toydesigner|[[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist), [[Shin Ueda]] (packaging artist)}}<ref name = "Missing Link">Article on Missing Link Convoy in [[Figure King]] issue 308 (September 2023), p109</ref>

:Released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ''The Transformers'' brand, ''[[Missing Link]]'' (styled ''MISSINGLINK'') Convoy's appearance is a direct recreation of the original ''The Transformers'' toy—but with the benefit of forty years of advances in toy engineering. It retains almost all of the original toy's [[gimmick]]s, and adds a bunch more.

:Although superficially identical to the vintage figure, its engineering has received a total overhaul to add a load of new points of [[articulation]]. Compared to the original, the toy boasts [[ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet]]ed elbows and knees, hinged knuckles, wrist curls, ankle tilts, a deeper forward bend for the feet, double-jointed outward shoulder motion, universal joints at the hips (with the wheels now folding out on skirts to accommodate outward leg motion), along with a neck [[Swivel joint|swivel]], a limited waist swivel and even an ab crunch! Unusually, the toy's [[instructions]] specifically demonstrate how to make use of all these new points of articulation. Where the original toy famously had [[Partformer|detachable]], easy-to-lose fists, this isn't the case with this modern update; the new, slightly smaller fists tuck neatly behind the grille (as with many other modern takes on this basic transformation scheme), revealing a pair of headlights — instead of holes — in the process. To facilitate the vast improvements to the lower body articulation and to help support the legs in truck mode, the toy foregoes one of the most iconic steps in the original transformation — where swinging the truck bed down causes it to separate into the legs — instead mounting the hips on individual [[slide joint]]s that must be carefully wiggled apart past a bracket in the middle first. These intricate plastic components are surrounded by heavy die-cast parts, and the thigh swivels in particular are extraordinarily tight, which makes posing the legs feel ''precarious'' to say the least! We would advise maintaining a firm grip on the red sliding brackets and die-cast hips, as close to the joint being moved as possible, to prevent any excessive leverage being applied.

:All of the original accessories are included with this revamped release, plus some extras. The [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]]'s launching mechanism has been nixed, in favor of allowing the repair drone to detach from the trailer and roll around on its own wheels. [[Roller (G1)|Roller]] (colored silver, not blue) has a new hinge to allow the port for the [[ion blaster]] to rotate out of sight, being replaced with a painted red light detail (harkening back to its appearance in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]") . Roller's wheels and the toy's missiles are packed still attached to their [[sprue]] just like in the old days, complete with an extravagant spare set of missiles. The fuel pump, hose and nozzle are included basically unchanged as three separate parts but are in fact new tooling. In addition to these classic parts, the toy also comes with brand new accessories [[show-accuracy|inspired by the character's animation appearances]]: a chrome-gold [[Matrix of Leadership]] (which fits in his chest, like the similar accessory included with the older "[[#NewYearConvoy|Special Specification]]" release), and a transparent [[energon-axe]] which clasps shut over either hand. The ion blaster now features two [[5 mm post]]s to allow him to grip it normally, or even hold it with both hands thanks to his new articulation, and features a revamped sculpt based on the vintage accessory's earlier "thick" barrel variant (which informed the gun's animated depiction). A special chrome-silver mounting piece for the Matrix sits behind the truck windows, but can be removed to reveal the classic seats for smaller ''[[Diaclone]]'' figures.

:The toy has the classic Autobot [[rubsign]], [[rubber tires]] (with the classic real-world "[http://www.ewillys.com/2021/03/16/desert-dog-history-and-ads/ Desert Dog Formula]" brand), [[die-cast]] parts, and features all the same [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] surfaces as the vintage toy. The details of the original [[sticker]]s (on the arms, knees, and toes) have been fully molded into the plastic and picked out with paint—but the toy ''also'' comes with a direct recreation of the original sticker sheet anyway. The toy also comes with a marketing insert, a collector's [[card]] (with, oddly enough, a small hole punched through the top), and a [[Tech Spec]] decoder for reading the graph printed on the back of the [[packaging]] alongside the classic back-of-the-box mural. Everything is neatly presented using a polystyrene tray. For this release, the illustrator of the toy's original Japanese [[package art]], [[Shin Ueda]] (credited in English right on the new box!), was commissioned to produce a brand-new piece based on the iconic transformation-into-midair-leap pose from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Ironically, though the toy is finally capable of reproducing the ''original'' boxart pose, the engineering of its waist rotation means the ''new'' pose is impossible!

:Since the trailers are nearly identical in shape, the sound effect module from the [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)/toys#Generation_2|''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime toy]] is compatible with the trailer of this release, though the module can't connect to Convoy's robot mode back.

:Although entirely a [[TakaraTomy]] initiative, the ''Missing Link'' toys were made available directly to Western fans via [[Hasbro Pulse]], sold under the name Optimus Prime. The toy kept its longer smokestacks and fully-functional firing missiles, which Hasbro had shortened [[for safety reasons]] in prior releases.

:A more affordable release of the ''Missing Link'' Convoy toy was sold without the trailer. This version of the toy goes for [[show-accuracy]], omitting the various paint applications intended to replicate [[sticker]] detailing, painting the toy's eyes blue instead of yellow, swapping the blue plastic for a slightly brighter shade, and picking out an [[Autobot]] [[insignia]] in fine white outlines solely on the left shoulder. Unlike Hasbro's contemporaneous ''[[Transformers Retro]]'' reissues, which similarly aim to use clever deco work to bring the original G1 toys closer to their animation depictions, this release keeps the chrome, instead of using a dull silver plastic.

:The toy still comes with its ion blaster (with a gunmetal paint application on its vent), energon-axe, and Matrix (now painted in animation-accurate metallic orange and silver); the Matrix housing is left as bare black plastic. A smaller sticker sheet is also included for [[customizing]] options—much like the one for the full release, but omitting all the trailer stickers. Three small yellow stickers are provided to replicate the waist/bumper details from the cartoon character model. The paperwork included is similar to the full release.

:Released as part of the ''[[Dramatic Capture Series]]'' 3-pack with [[Jazz_(G1)/toys#Dramatic_Capture_Series|Jazz]] and [[Mainframe_(G1)#Dramatic_Capture_Series|Mainframe]], this Optimus Prime is a redeco of his ''[[Optimus_Prime_(G1)/Generations_toys#War_for_Cybertron:_Earthrise|War for Cybertron: Earthrise]]'' mold (sans the Trailer/Combat Deck) in cartoon-accurate colors; most conspicuously, the [[unpaintable plastic]] areas in his calves and biceps now match the surrounding body colors.

==Notes==
===Before he became Optimus Prime===
[[File:PrototypeTHB.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Not so Optimus Prime.]]
*The first prototype for Battle Convoy, the ''[[Diaclone]]'' originator of Optimus Prime, was vastly different from the final version, complete with an entirely different transformation and a car carrying trailer. The head lacked the faceplate.
*A later prototype/mock-up was much closer to the final product but still has some noticeable differences, such as a head with much larger antennae, longer smokestacks and a front grille section that includes the rectangular section that would sport the "Freightliner" logo on the real-life truck (on the final toy, the rectangular section is part of the hinged upper section that includes the windows). It would have also been possible to attach the [[ion blaster]] to either of his shoulders.<ref name="diaclonecatalogs">[https://web.archive.org/web/20151017201739/http://1501bc.com/pretf/pictures/tfdiac6b.jpg Diaclone catalog scans] at 1501bc.com.</ref>
*The toy that would ultimately end up as the original Optimus Prime toy was originally released in August [[1983]] as No.17 Battle Convoy from Takara's Diaclone Car Robo toyline in Japan. In [[1984]], [[Joustra]] released their own version (still with ''Diaclone'' sticker on the trailer) as part of their Diaclone line in Europe, either simply called ''Truck'' (according to the pack-in catalog) or ''Diaclone'' (in the pack-in comic). It's possible that [[GiG]] also released a version called ''Camion Convoy'' as part of their ''[[Trasformer]]'' line in Italy, but to this day no packaged sample has surfaced.

===The many releases of Optimus Prime===
[[File:SeveralG1Convoy.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Too much Prime on my hands.]]
Over the years, the [[#The_Transformers|original Optimus Prime]] has been repackaged and reissued multiple times:
*In the US and Canada, limited edition promotional versions were available sporting Pepsi stickers; the Canadian version has large Pepsi stickers that cover the entire trailer, while the US version only has small Pepsi stickers that partially obscure the lines running across the trailer;
*In addition to the standard Japanese 01 Convoy release, Takara also released the toy as part of the [[#VSX|VSX Convoy vs. Megatron]] two-pack in [[1985]];
*Takara released a variant sporting clear blue windows and as part of the "[[#goodbye|Good Bye Convoy]]" set (packaged with [[Red Alert (G1)#Toys|Alert/Red Alert]] and [[Mirage (G1)#Toys|Ligier/Mirage]]) in [[1986]];
*Hasbro's subsidiary [[Milton Bradley]] (MB) released the toy in Europe in late 1985, following a slight delay due to licensing issues;<ref name="mbtfs">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-5/ "The Jetfire vs Optimus Prime mixup"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref> there are no less than ''three'' variants of MB-packaged Optimus Prime, one of them manufactured by Takara and sporting blue feet, the other two manufactured by [[Joustra]] as part of a deal with Hasbro/MB, one of them with blue and the other one with red feet;<ref name="3mb">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/the-three-mb-optimus-primes/ "The Three MB Optimus Primes"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>
*After Hasbro's European division had changed the packaging from "MB" to "Hasbro", the toy continued to be available in 1986, including more of the Joustra-manufactured red and blue feeted versions, which were apparently also available in the UK in English-only packaging;<ref name="3mb"/>
*[[GiG]] released the toy as ''Commander'' as part of their ''Transformers'' line in Italy in 1985, including an all-plastic variant in 1986;
*[[IGA]] released their version in Mexico in 1985; unsold stock was later imported to a plethora of European countries, including the UK, with Optimus Prime having the yellow paint scraped off his eyes and then having them painted over in red;
*Hasbro reissued the "Original Autobot Leader" toy as part of their European ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' line of reissues in [[1991]];
*Hasbro released a [[#Generation_2|redecoed version with additional accessories]] as part of their [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|''Generation 2'' line]] in [[1993]];
*Takara reissued the original toy in its original 1985 Japanese packaging in [[2000]], with an all-black recolor being available from assorted Japanese conventions and another variant with gold instead of silver parts, stickers, and paint as a [[Lucky Draw figure|lucky draw]] prize;
*Takara reissued the toy again as ''New Year Special'' version in January 2002, sporting clear blue windows (similar to Good Bye Convoy) and featuring additional accessories such as a Matrix necklace and a [[Show-accuracy|show accurate]] recolor of the Action Master Optimus Prime figure;
*Hasbro reissued the toy in the US and the UK as part of their ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Generation One Commemorative Series]]'' line of reissues in [[2002]], sporting shortened down smokestacks [[for safety reasons]];
*Takara reissued the toy once again in [[2003]], as part of their ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' line of reissues, numbered 00 and featuring additional accessories such as an energon axe;
*Takara released a recolored version featuring a new trailer in December [[2005]], called ''[[Pepsi Convoy]]''.
*Hasbro released their own version of Pepsi Convoy, named "[[#PepsiPrime|Pepsi Optimus Prime]]", as a [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] exclusive in [[2007]], featuring the familiar [[For safety reasons|safety]]-shortened smokestacks of the Commemorative Series reissue.
*In August 2007 TakaraTomy yet again did a rerelease similar to the 2000 Convoy rerelease, this time as part of the "[[Transformers Encore]]" line. This version has a new rifle with a longer handle so Optimus can finally hold it straight.
*TakaraTomy released [https://web.archive.org/web/20080329084648/http://seibertron.com/advertisement.php?id=8 "Convoy iPod Docking Bay with Speakers"] in September 2007. It is an iPod speaker/dock in the shape of a truck, featuring an all-white version of Convoy with a new head sculpt reminiscent of Masterpiece Convoy as the cab, and a trailer housing a pair of speakers and a docking point for an iPod.
*In March [[2008]], TakaraTomy released a G1-colored version of the iPod Convoy set.
*Hasbro released the ''25th Anniversary'' gift set edition detailed above in 2008, as part of the 2008 ''Universe'' line, once again with [[For safety reasons|shortened smokestacks]].
*TakaraTomy released another reissue based on the ''Encore'' version as part of their ''[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]'' line in 2011, lacking the original Generation 1 trailer. Instead, the ''Chronicle'' version was available in a two-pack with ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Chronicle|Optimus Prime]] and a new trailer that could be used by both Optimuses, thanks to a retooled trailer hitch on the Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure.
*In 2012, Hasbro reissued Optimus Prime again for their Asian markets, this time mixing the 25th Anniversary version of the toy itself with the older ''Commemorative Series'' packaging.<ref name="25thcomm">[http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/showthread.php?t=44388 "Bad news RE: new Commemorative Prime"] at Cybertron.ca.</ref>
*In 2019, Optimus was rereleased once again, this time without his trailer and with his original long smokestacks (something he hasn't had in America since Generation 2), in Hasbro's Vintage G1 line of reissues exclusive to Walmart stores in US and Canada.

===Powermaster Optimus Prime design history===
[[File:EarlyPMPrime1.jpg|upright=1.5|thumb|Overcompensating.]]
{{twoimages|File:EarlyPMPrime2.jpg|File:EarlyPMPrime3.jpg|thumb|w1=115|w2=150|caption=}}

[[Powermaster]] Optimus Prime, being the grand toy rebirth of Optimus Prime post-movie, apparently received a lot of thought during the design process. Prime went through an inordinate number of design changes from concept to final with at least three very major revisions:

*The earliest version, as shown in the first patent application for the toy, was to have the Prime cab be a triplechanger, turning from truck cab to jet or robot.<ref>[http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?DB=EPODOC&II=0&ND=3&adjacent=true&locale=en_EP&FT=D&date=19880604&CC=JP&NR=S63132686A&KC=A Patent #JP63-132686]</ref> The nosecone of the jet and robot legs were released by the Powermaster lock in the same fashion as the legs in the final version. Optimus would have had winged arms in non-super [[robot mode]]. The super robot mode's head was also integrated into the trailer's hitch... and lacked a faceplate.

*The second known version <ref>''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]'', p22, p106</ref> ditched the triplechanging gimmick on the cab and simplified things a good bit. This Powermaster Prime has several distinct characteristics only seen in the second design, such as the wider "block head" and two faux smokestacks on top of either shoulder as opposed to one. Also, in a rather odd twist, this design features a black head and fists for both super and regular modes rather than the traditional blue. It also had yellow eyes in either mode a la the original Optimus Prime.

*The third version <ref>''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]'', p106</ref> would quite possibly have been the most gimmick loaded Transformer in the history of the line, simultaneously being a Powermaster, [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]], and [[Triple Changer]]. The Headmaster also would have been a Triple Changer, turning into a sort of armored four-wheeled rover (Roller II?) and robot as well as a rather silly looking Optimus Prime head with four vertically aligned wheels jutting off the sides. It seems that when the extra Headmaster gimmick was scrapped, the super mode head remained separate rather than being reintegrated into the trailer hitch such as on the earliest design. Notably, the body of this design is extremely close to the final design.
*A fourth version is shown in the 1987-88 Transformers product catalog that has several minor differences from both Powermaster Prime and [[Ginrai (human)|God Ginrai]], such as having God Ginrai's sliding fists but in red, a completely different trailer hitch assembly partially based on the third design, an offset Autobot symbol in base mode, extended feet also based on third design, far more detailed super mode outer leg panels, completely different front bumper, and the first instance of single faux shoulder smokestacks rather than two. It is still unknown as to why Powermaster Prime has completely different arms from God Ginrai or all earlier concept versions.

Powermaster Prime's animation model as used in the commercials and as a character guide for the Marvel comics is a composite of the second and third designs. The body of the model is actually a straight tracing of the concept lineart for the third version (including its different rifles and twin faux shoulder stacks), with a slightly simplified drawing of the second version's head drawn on top.

===Miscellaneous Primes===
[[File:EarlyActionMasterOptimusPrime.jpg|thumb|upright=.5|]]
[[File:Early Star Convoy Planning Stage.jpg‎|thumb|upright=1.1|left|I am the prototype of the toy of the future!]]
[[File:PMHeroTrace.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Stealing purses across the ages.]]
*The preproduction version of Action Master Optimus Prime (featured in catalogs and on his [[Power Plans]]) used a darker blue closer to the 1984 toy and had upper legs painted grey. Amusingly, the mold also originally had longer smokestacks that were presumably trimmed down for safety or breakage issues, which would become something of a running theme with Optimus Prime toys.
*The ''Return of Convoy'' pack-in catalogs show Star Convoy as originally having silver paint on his vehicle mode and robot thighs, mirroring the similarly-colored parts of the original Optimus Prime design. However, the Star Convoy released at retail instead used bare white plastic, possibly as a cost-saving measure (as ''Transformers'' was rapidly losing popularity in Japan at the time). When Takara reissued the toy years later, it restored the originally-intended silver of the prototype.
*''Return of Convoy'' catalogs reveal the planning process behind Star Convoy's evolution from gimmick-rich illustration to prototype before reaching final production.
*The pose used for ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[#HeroOptimusPrime|Hero Optimus Prime]]'s [[package art]] is rather blatantly swiped from [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] [[Powermaster]] [[#PMOP|Optimus Prime]]'s package art.
*On a similar note, ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[#Machine Wars|Optimus Prime]]'s package art is merely edited from ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|Laser Optimus Prime]]'s card art, keeping it mostly intact save for the removal of shoulder kibble and the addition of a non-windowed chestplate.
*The Masterpiece Optimus Prime toy was featured in a [[:File:Optimus prime nokia 6820.JPG|print ad]] for [[Nokia]] {{w|Nokia 68xx series#Nokia 6820|6820}} phones in December 2004.<ref name="nokia">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/20th-anniversary-optimus-prime-featured-in-nokia-a/4374/ "20th Anniversary Optimus Prime Featured in Nokia Ad"]</ref> He is posed bent over to look at the phone and scratching his head. Pleasantly, ''most'' of the pose pictured is perfectly possible with an un-[[Customizing|kitbash]]ed, un-Photoshopped version of the toy. (The real toy can't bend forward at the waist like that, alas.)
*''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[#Classics (2006)|Optimus Prime]] was initially intended to be Deluxe-sized. 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 (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] and Deluxe Optimus Prime.</ref> included a Deluxe-sized 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 size of the figure was changed.

Can you hoist all of '''Hoist'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s toys?

==Toys==
===''The Transformers''===
{{anchor|Generation 1}}[[File:G1 Hoist toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Oh, I say old chaps, anyone in need of a lift?"]]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Hoist''' (Autobot Car, [[1985]])}}</ul>
:*''Takara ID number'': '''46'''
:*''Accessories'': Left & right fists, left & right "Radar Panels", "Full Spectrum Multi-Sensor", 2 "Twin Blasters", 2 missiles

: Released in the second year of [[Hasbro]]'s ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' toyline, Hoist is a [[retool]]ing of 1984's [[Trailbreaker (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Trailbreaker]], transforming into a green Toyota Hi-Lux pickup, only instead of a camper attachment, he has a large orange towing apparatus on his truck bed which can be used to "tow" other toys. In robot mode, he features a new head, which can still use the same "Full Spectrum Multi-Sensor" attachment Trailbreaker has. His forearms are spring-loaded missile launchers (though the springs were severely weakened to comply with US [[for safety reasons|safety regulations]] for projectiles), meaning either arm can sport either a fist or one of his chromed missiles or "Twin Blasters".

: His 1985 [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' release is nearly identical to the Hasbro version, only his missile launchers remain fully functional.

: The Mexican [[IGA]] release of Hoist retained the original Trailbreaker head, but cast in green plastic. Weird. The Mexican version has no white outlines on the caution stripes on the sides. While many IGA ''Transformers'' used lead-based paint (''yikes!''), since this was primarily limited to the yellow paint often used for "eyes", the Trailbreaker-head's red visor likely kept IGA Hoist free from this safety hazard.

: While the mold used to make Hoist was originally released in 1982 in Takara's ''[[Diaclone]]'' toyline (thus the hatch on his roof for a Diaclone driver Hoist did not come with), the green-and-orange coloration was made specifically for ''Transformers''. The ''Diaclone'' "4WD Hi-Lux Wrecker Type" only came in [[Lift-Ticket (Diaclone)|red-yellow]] and blue-yellow (the latter only in a box set with the toy that would eventually become [[Crosscut (G1)|Crosscut]]), plus had "WRECKER" text on the side-panel hazard-stripe stickers that Hoist lacks.

{{toydesigner|[[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:[[Greasepit (G2 tow truck)|The mold]] finally seeing release after not reaching fruition in ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'', ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' Hoist shares a mold with ''Machine Wars'' [[Hubcap (MW)#Toys|Hubcap]], transforming into a Kenworth W900 wrecker truck. He is a "flipchanger", meaning most of his transformation sequence is an [[autotransformation]], springing into robot mode by lifting a catch (in his case, his towing hook). His front grill/bumper assembly detaches to form a hand-held blaster.

: The "Wilk and Sons Towing" sticker is most likely a reference to Hasbro employee [[Brian Wilk]].<ref>https://twitter.com/BFSAndrew/status/1393598140687785990 [[Andrew Franks]] on Twitter.</ref>

: This toy is [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] with the other three Basic molds in the line. Specifically, his inner robot parts and tow-arm share plastic with [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|Thundercracker]]'s inner robot parts, his truck parts share plastic with Thundercracker's head and [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|Mirage]]'s seat, plus he shares the pearlescent-gray windows/visor plastic with, well, everyone.

: Hoist was later re-re-issued in 2003 by [[Hasbro]] in the fifth assortment of the [[Toys"R"Us]]-[[exclusive]] ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' line. The most notable differences from prior versions of the toy are the [[rubsign]] has been relocated to the underside of the trapdoor on his roof, and the lack of any springs in his forearms, completely neutralizing the launching gimmick; the fists and other attachments are simply held in place with friction.

He features through-axle wheels to allow for super-fast rolling on smooth surfaces. Like the other toys in his assortment, Hoist uses factory-applied decals for a lot of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] deco, a rarity for toys released since the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toyline.

: Originally a [[KB Toys]] [[exclusive]], the first release of this toy (and the others in the assortment) did not have any sub-line designation at all, but later releases for other chains, most notably "budget" chains like Family Dollar, marked them as ''Universe'' product.

He features retooled hands and a hole on the back of his head/roof, making them compatible with [[C joint|3 mm posts]]. He comes with a gun (sculpted after the larger missiles that came with the original Trailbreaker/Hoist toys) with three posts and a hole, allowing the weapon to be held and mounted in different ways.

: Originally developed by Hasbro Asia for release in their territories, Hoist was later released together with various other formerly "Asian market exclusive" toys as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in the United States for the 2012 holiday season.

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

: Part of the sixth wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Hoist is a redeco/retool of [[Trailbreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Trailcutter]]. He has a new head, and transforms into an off-road truck of made-up model with a towing arm. Instead of Trailcutter's truck bed canopy/shielded blaster, Hoist comes with a towing hook that can transform into a blaster, and peg via [[5 mm post]] onto any of his numerous ports.

: This version of the toy was redecorated into [[Lift-Ticket (Diaclone)#Toys|Lift-Ticket]]. The original tooling of this toy also served as the basis of the non-toy characters [[Flatline (G1)|IDW Flatline]], [[Turbofire#Wings Universe|''Wings Universe'' Turbofire]], [[Trailbreaker (SG)|''Shattered Glass'' Trailbreaker]], and [[Lockdown (SG)|''Shattered Glass'' Lockdown]].

: The American release comes packaged with a copy of [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s [[The Waiting Game|Spotlight: Hoist]]''.

**''Accessories'': Towing hook/blaster

: The TakaraTomy [[Transformers: Generations (Japan)|''Generations'']] release of ''Thrilling 30'' Hoist is redecoed in colors closer to his original toy, featuring a darker shade of green plastic, a darker orange, and a blue windshield. He also has several additional [[paint operation]]s, including rear lights and a blue-painted visor (rather than the unpainted plastic of the Hasbro release). Hoist's yellow stripes were also changed to a darker orangey-yellow, and some of the black operations on his front bumper changed to silver.

: Hoist was only available in a two-pack with [[Trailbreaker (G1)/toys#TG27|Trailbreaker]], released in the eleventh wave of ''Generations'' product.

**''Accessories'': Long blaster
{{toydesigner|[[Ed Masiello]] (Hasbro)}}

: As part of the second wave of [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] ''[[Kre-O]]'' [[Micro-Changer]]s, Hoist is a [[Kreon]] patterned after Generation 1 Hoist. He can be rebuilt into a tow truck.

: This Collection was still in circulation at "dollar" stores and drug stores up through 2015. They eventually lost the individual-identifying bag codes, but other changes were hidden inside the bag. The 2015 releases replaced the 2x4 logo stand-brick with a new 3x4 logo plate. The Kreon was also given the slight [[retool]]ing to the arm seen in the 2014 Kreons, making the "cuff" parts more sharp-cornered and better adapted to being used as studs. Some of the add-on pieces may also be slightly off-color, possibly due to a change in factories in mid-production.

: "[[Kreon Class of '85]]" Hoist's deco is much more heavily based on the [[Hoist (G1)/toys#Generation 1|original Hoist toy]], plus gives him a wrist-blaster. Like the rest of the set, he uses the almost-totally-[[retool]]ed 2015 style of Kreon body.

: This box set of thirty Kreons was a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2015 [[exclusive]], with leftovers being sold on [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online after the show.

**''Accessories'': Logo plate, large rifle

: In 2016, Micro-Changers Collection 2 was re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released ''Kre-O'' sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) The "hook" piece from the original version has also been replaced with a similar-but-different piece, as presumably the original element was no longer in production. Hoist's [[tampograph]]s also got a slight change, replacing the flat gray with black, changing his black Autobot symbol to red with a white outline, and changing his upper leg deco to yellow.

: Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.

*'''Machine Wars: Termination''' (BotCon box set, 2013)
**''Accessories'': Rifle

: A redeco/retool of ''Generations'' [[Kup (G1)/toys#Generations|Sergeant Kup]], ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' Hoist is based on [[#Machine Wars|Hoist's ''Machine Wars'' body]], and has a new head that combines the elements of his own head and [[Electro]]'s. He transforms into a "retro"-styled Earth pickup truck of made-up model, and is covered in 3 mm rungs that are compatible with [[C joint]] clip-on weapons. There are two rungs on his backpack, plus two rungs each on his forearm kibble, and two on his lower back. The rifle can either plug into the underside of the truck, forming a second exhaust pipe, or clip onto the roof of the truck via a C joint. Interestingly, due to his transformation, Hoist's truck mode features a working tailgate.

: In an [[Misassembly|assembly error]], Hoist's shoulders are on the wrong sides, preventing his arms from being lowered to his sides all the way.

: Hoist comes in a [[BotCon 2013]]-exclusive boxset with [[Skywarp (MW)#Timelines|Skywarp]], [[Strika (BM)#Timelines|Strika]], [[Obsidian (BM)#Timelines|Obsidian]], and [[Megaplex#Timelines|Megaplex]]. The original version of this toy, with the [[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|alternate head]], was used to make ''Generations'' [[Swerve (G1)#Generations|Swerve]], while this version of the mold was redecoed into fellow BotCon 2013 exclusive, [[Electro#Timelines|Autobot Electrons]].

{{toydesigner|[[Yūya Ōnishi]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Hoist transforms into an Earth pickup truck with towing rig legally distinct from the Toyata Hi-Lux in 20 steps. As part of the new "[[A.I.R. Lock System]]" play pattern, his towing sled has a ramp/attachment point that allows it to attach to other compatible bases. His hand-cannon is designed to slip completely over and around either of his fists, replicating the cartoon's "hand-gun" design, with the peg being long enough to still work as a "[[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]"-style gun mountable in vehicle mode (or most anywhere else 5 mm-compatible). In keeping with the ''War For Cybertron'' trilogy's concerns with cartoon-based scale, Hoist is one of ''Earthrise's'' tallest deluxe figures, standing just a little over Ironhide from the [[War for Cybertron: Siege|previous toyline]].

: Also pertaining to the previous toyline is Hoist's "battle damage" paint, featured on his chest/hood and the tops of his forearms. Due to the applied part being made of painted translucent plastic, the battle damage paint cannot be stripped from the chest/hood without damaging the color underneath.

: The toy's original stock render had his roof lights colored orange like the rest of his towing assembly, while the final toy has them cast in screen-accurate white plastic. Additionally, the door-windows are presented as a sky-blue color in the render, to better match up with the blue translucent plastic front window, while the actual toy has these windows painted in a non-continuous black.

: Like all ''Earthrise toys'', the inside of the back of Hoist'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. Hoist's piece of the map contains the labeled location of the planet "[[Junkion (planet)|JUNKION]]".

: This version of Hoist was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Lift-Ticket (Diaclone)#Generations Selects|Lift-Ticket]] under the ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' banner, and was also [[retool]]ed into ''Earthrise'' [[Trailbreaker (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Trailbreaker]] and ''Generations Selects/Legacy'' [[Breaker (G1)#Legacy|DK-3 Breaker]].

:He comes with multiple accessories, such as the alien mask from "[[Hoist Goes Hollywood (episode)|Hoist Goes Hollywood]]", the [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]]-esque arm he used to dig out his fellow Autobots in "[[Auto Berserk]]", the hammer he used to repair Dinobot parts in "[[Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1]]", and a spanner.

==Notes==
[[File:DiacloneHoist.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|Maybe one of them is the real "Moist"?]]
*Like all of the other 1984-1985 Autobot "cars", the first Hoist toy was originally from the Japanese ''[[Diaclone]]'' toyline as a piloted mecha. The '''4WD Hi-Lux Wrecker-type''' (4{{ruby|WD|ダブルディー}}ハイラックスレッカータイプ), came in two different color schemes: red with black kneecaps and yellow wrecker-rig, or in blue with red kneecaps and yellow rig, which was available in a two-pack with the ''Diaclone'' toy that would become [[Crosscut (G1)|Crosscut]]. Yes, the green-and-orange coloration was made up specifically for ''Transformers''.
*The red version would later inspire the character [[Lift-Ticket (Diaclone)|Lift-Ticket]] while the blue version has yet to be used in the ''Transformers'' brand.
*The ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Autotrooper (SG Knights of Unicron)|Autotroopers]] conspicuously sport Hoist heads on the ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Offroad (CW)|Offroad]] mold and at one point were intended to be the [[BotCon 2016]] troop builder set. [[Jesse Wittenrich]] and [[Pete Sinclair]] would eventually confirm that this Hoist tooling does actually exist as the alternate head associated with the figure's [[Trailbreaker (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Trailbreaker retool]].

: Released in the first year of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' [[Autobot Cars]], Trailbreaker transforms into a {{w|Toyota_Hilux#Third_generation_(N30,_N40;_1978)|Toyota 4WD Hi-Lux N40}} camper truck. In robot mode, both of his lower arms are projectile launchers, able to load and fire either his fists or his projectiles, which consist of two [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] silver missiles and two silver "twin blasters"... though the [[Hasbro]] version of the toy severely weakened the springs [[for safety reasons]]. There are two slots in the robot-mode "backpack" to store whichever unused wrist attachments you like.

: He was re-released in 1985 with the addition of a [[rubsign]] on his vehicle-mode roof. He was also released in Japan the same year as part of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' series, similarly sporting a rubsign, though this release has his wrist-launchers fully-functional.

: This mold was also [[retool]]ed to make [[Hoist (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Hoist]].

: This mold was originally released in Takara's ''[[Diaclone]]'' line, which is why the truck roof has an opening hatch meant for a pilot figure the ''Transformers'' toy did not come with. While there was a ''Diaclone'' version of this mold in these plastic colors (there were also yellow and blue versions of the toy), the ''Transformers'' release altered the side-panel stickers, which had a yellow base colors, to match the black plastic.

His truck deco is an obvious [[homage]] to the [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] character Trailbreaker, and the toy had been named "Trailbreaker" in [[Walmart]] computer listings.

:Part of the fifth wave of 2012-onwards ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Trailcutter transforms into an armored pick-up truck. Additionally, many of his [[robot mode]] details are based on [[Alex Milne]]'s Cybertronian design for the character in the ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More Than Meets the Eye]]'' comic series. His truck bed canopy is removable, and transforms into a "battle shield" with mounted blasters. It features a flip-out [[5 mm post|5 mm handle]] as well as two 5 mm posts and ports, and can peg onto any of his numerous ports. The 5 mm ports on the legs, in particular, allow you to attach weapons from other figures to them so that Trailcutter can emulate Fortress Maximus.

: The American release comes packaged with a copy of [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s ''[[The Reluctant Specialist|Spotlight: Trailcutter]]'', featuring a cropped version of its [[Clayton Crain]] retailer incentive cover, which is called out as a 'Hasbro Exclusive Cover' on its front. Additionally, the contents of the issue are edited to remove references to Trailcutter's original name and overt mentions of alcohol-like usage of Energon drinks. The European and Canadian releases come packaged without the Spotlight.

**''ID number'': '''TG-27'''
**''Release date'': [[November 30]] 2013
**''Accessories:'' Roof/battle shield

: Released in the TakaraTomy [[Transformers: Generations (Japan)|''Generations'']] lineup, Trailbreaker is a redeco of ''Thrilling 30'' Deluxe Trailcutter, cast in different shades of plastic: his black is more jet-black, his red is darker, and his windshield is now translucent blue. He also features new [[paint operation]]s, such as silver paint on his bumper, hubcaps, and forearms, painted back lights, and now has a red visor based on his original toy. He swaps the red and blue details on the Hasbro version's upper arms for a more comic-accurate silver and red.

: Trailbreaker was only available in a two-pack with [[Hoist (G1)/toys#TG27|Hoist]], released in the eleventh wave of ''Generations'' product.

: The ''[[Kre-O]]'' Beast Force "[[Dragon Assault]]" set includes a Trailcutter [[Micro-Changer]] [[Kreon]] who can be rebuilt into a 4-wheel-drive truck, or as close as you can get at that size. He comes with a wrist-blaster accessory you can pop into either cuff, but you need two fists for his vehicle mode.

: Speaking of, his vehicle-mode detailing is provided by customer-applied [[sticker]]s.

: The set also comes with a brick-built [[Grimwing (Prime)#Kre-O|Grimwing]].

**''Collection'': '''''Age of Extinction'' Collection 2'''
**''Accessories'': Logo brick, double barreled pistol

: Part of the sixth regular assortment of [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] Micro-Changers, Trailbreaker (apparently Hasbro was finally able to reclaim the name) is a Kreon minifigure that can be rebuilt into a pickup truck. While clearly based on the Generation 1 character, the details of his deco are much more based on the [[live-action film series|live-action movie]] style of bot. He sports the Constructicon helmet.

: Unlike prior Micro-Changer assortments, this series does not have any sort identification code for the bags' actual contents, meaning you'd best be good at the feel-though-the-bag method.

: This assortment was originally slated to be a [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]], but US stores dropped the line before its release. It was still available in Canada, Australia, and Chinese/Asian markets. In 2015, the Collection appeared in US Dollar Tree stores, with a price tag of a whopping $1 a pop. They didn't last long.

: This version of Trailcutter (again named as such, presumably this set was in development before the original name was reclaimed) has much more detailed toy-based [[tampograph]]s than his prior versions, save for his (shiny) cartoon-based face. He even includes the rocket-backpack piece to simulate the original toy's ability to store his rockets on his backpack.

: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.

*'''Trailbreaker''' (Deluxe Class, 2016)
**'''5 OF 5: [[Sky Reign]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Axe, double-barreled gun/fist/foot
{{toydesigner|[[Mark Maher]] (deco artist)}}

: Part of the sixth wave of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Trailbreaker (now using his original name again) is a retool of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Offroad (CW)#Toys|Decepticon Offroad]] sporting a new head and forearms that draw from his Generation 1 animation model, including a gun-hand. Additionally, his combiner fist/ foot weapon has retooled finger and thumb parts making his hand look more like a claw. The combiner hand can be inserted into the 5 mm peg port at the end of his gun hand, similarly to [[Rook (CW)#Generations|Rook]]. As with other ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxes, Trailbreaker can combine to form [[Sky Reign#Generations|Sky Reign]] as either an arm or a leg. He can also combine with any ''Unite Warriors'' Voyager class figure or even into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs. While the front hood/windshields are needed to be folded as kneecaps for his leg mode, the piece also had a tendency to dislodge if he collides to Optimus Prime/Motormaster's and Hot Spot's protruding foot while the legs are being swiveled in his standing position, unless the leg joints are bent down to lessen the problem.

: Trailbreaker comes with a copy of ''The Transformers'' vol. 2 #40 (Combiner Wars part 2), "[[The Possible Light]]". 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 also showed up at TJ Maxx in the USA at reduced prices with the collector card.

: The original version of this mold was also used to make [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service|TFSS]] [[Ruckus (G1)#Generations|Grabuge]] and ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' [[Breakdown (WFC)#Unite Warriors|Zombie War Breakdown]], and was differently retooled into ''Combiner Wars'' [[First Aid (G1)#Generations|First Aid]] and [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Ironhide]].

**''ID number:'' '''UW-EX'''

:''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' Trailbreaker is a redeco of his ''Combiner Wars'' toy, in a color layout based more on his original cartoon model, with silver plastic replacing the red, and an extensively-painted robot mode. In vehicle mode, the strive for cartoon-accuracy means he gained a painted bumper, but ended up losing his rear window paint as well as the stripes on his doors.

: He was only available in a [[TakaraTomy Mall]]-exclusive [[Sky Reign#Unite Warriors 2|Lynxmaster]] multi-pack, the fourth set to be released through this outlet.

**''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''ER-EX 13'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[November 28]], 2020
**''Accessories'': Arm-mounted gun, canopy

: Released in the third and final wave of [[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'']] Deluxes, Trailbreaker is a retool of ''Earthrise'' [[Hoist (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Hoist]], converting into a camper truck of made-up model. He sports a new head, pelvis and gun attachment (designed to fit over and around his fist to replicate the wrist-gun of his original animation model), and a new backpack that replaces Hoist's towing apparatus with a canopy, which contains a flip-out shoulder cannon and radar scanner for his robot mode. The canopy comes detached in-package, and has a [[5 mm post]] sculpted inside it, allowing Trailbreaker to wield it as a shield. It also has a hole on top to store his gun attachment in vehicle mode. It's possible to wedge the gun under his hood between his arms using one of the 5mm ports on his forearms, although this causes the weapon nozzle to poke out off-center in front from under the hood.

: A radar dish for his vehicle mode, based on the one used in the ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)|Transformers]]'' episode "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]," was sold separately as part of the ''Earthrise'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]] set. In robot mode, it's possible to store the radar dish inside his chest cavity, although it will rattle around freely.

: Like all ''Earthrise toys'', the inside of the back of Trailbreaker'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. While Trailbreaker's map piece is unlabeled, it contains part of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and one of its moons.

: Due to supply chain disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic, Trailbreaker and his fellow Deluxe wave-mates were first found in Singapore before wave 2 was released in any market worldwide.

: In Japan, Trailbreaker was one of many many ''many'' toys in the line to be a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive.

: This figure was redecoed into ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]/[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' [[Breaker (G1)#Legacy|DK-3 Breaker]], while the original use of this mold was also used to make ''Generations Selects'' [[Lift-Ticket (Diaclone)#Generations Selects|Lift-Ticket]].

**''Release date'': [[December 29]] 2022
**''Accessories'': 3 robot faces, [[Fire Blast effect|blast effect]], gun, multi-nozzle gun, fist, parabolic antenna, non-chromed grill
{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Trailbreaker is an ''incredibly'' cartoon-accurate version of the character, who transforms into a fully-licensed Toyota 4WD Hi-Lux camper truck with an opening hood and doors (notably, this is the first ''Masterpiece'' figure to use the Toyota license).

: Among Trailbreaker's many accessories are two different truck grilles - one chromed, the other matte, so you can replicate a more cartoony or real-world-y look. He also comes with a "parabolic" radar dish to mount on his truck mode, and a wrist-mounted multi-nozzle forcefield generator, both from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]". Other robot accessories include a fist to replace the gun if you so choose, and three faces (neutral, screaming, and confident). He also includes a blast effect that just so happens to look like [[:File:DinobotIsland1_Trailbreaker_projects_force_field.jpg|one of the screen caps]] shown [[Circular reporting|on his {{SITENAME SHORT}} character page]].

: This figure also includes optional [[sticker|decal]]s that obscure part of the cab door windows, in order to represent the toy-accurate design (which occasionally appeared in the cartoon) where the shoulder joints run through those windows.

: Trailbreaker is shown on the box photography to have extra outward joints at the shoulders, which ''are'' there... unfortunately, they're blocked off by an engineering oversight where the round bottom edge of the upper arm joint doesn't account for the square block in the shoulder around which it's supposed to swing. Unscrewing the back of the upper arm panel and slicing off the colliding corner of said block unlocks the joint. Trying to force it otherwise stands a good chance of snapping the upper arm off.

:This figure was retooled into ''Masterpiece'' [[Hoist (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Hoist]] and then in turn into [[Riggorus]], the latter of which comes with a force field accessory meant to double as Trailbreaker's cartoon inspired force field.

**''ID number:'' '''Collection No. 3'''
:In Japan, a red rubber mini-figure of Trailbreaker was available in part of a [[Decoy|multi-pack of similar mini-figurines]]. The number etched into his back is the sum total of his [[Tech Spec|tech spec]] ratings, as these figurines were used as game pieces for a variety of ''Transformers'' board games in which this number had some meaning to how the game was played or something.

*'''Trailbreaker''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''10'''

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

*'''Trailbreaker''' (2007)

:A 26-point "common" character in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]'s "Energon Wars" expansion, Trailbreaker "transforms" into a black pickup truck with a camper shell. He uses the same parts layout as [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]].

:The Battle-Card may or may not actually represent [[Trailbreaker (Movie)|the live-action movie version of Trailbreaker]], as the design is clearly in the live-action movie aesthetic (and a version of the Trailbreaker character exists in the "movie" universe anyway). The card's listed abilities — an Invisible Force Field and a Radio Jammer — line up with Trailbreaker's G1 abilities, however, so who knows.

:Private Trailbreaker, Infantry-Fortification & Defense is one of forty-eight double-sided character cards available in Wave 3 of the [[Transformers Trading Card Game]], War for Cybertron: Siege I.

:The card's art reuses line-art from the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game, and is based on the ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Trailcutter toy. The line-art for Alt Mode was drawn by [[Dan Khanna]]. The artwork is recolored seemingly to match the aesthetic of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' toyline's packaging art.

==Notes==
[[File:DiacloneTrailbreaker.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2]]
*Trailbreaker's mold was originally a ''[[Diaclone]]'' "4WD Hi-Lux", available in three different colors: black, blue, or yellow. The blue version was sold by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] in North America as the ''[[Diakron]]'' "DK-3" Car/Robot in [[1983]], seemingly just a few months before the toy would be rebranded as a Transformer. There is an easy way to tell the black ''Diaclone'' 4WD Hi-Lux apart from a ''Transformers'' Trailbreaker, though—the ''Diaclone'' toy's vehicle mode stickers have a yellow background.
*The ''Combiner Wars'' Trailbreaker tooling had a "pretooled" alternate head as [[Hoist (G1)/toys#Notes|Hoist]], but this was ultimately not used for any figures.
*Glaringly, Trailbreaker's appearance in [[:File:WFC-Earthrise-main-artwork.jpg|the packaging mural]] for ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise]]'' is drawn according to [[#Generations|his ''Thrilling 30'' toy]] rather than [[#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|his ''Earthrise'' toy]].

===Other attempts===
There are quite a few ''Transformers'' toys that were at one point in their development supposed to be a new form for (or tribute to) Trailbreaker, but before the ''Reveal the Shield'' Legends Class toy, all of these became other characters with other names, most likely due to [[Hasbro]]'s inability to secure the [[trademark]].

Trailbreaker's appearance in the [[3H Productions|3H]] [[Transformers: Universe (comic)|''Universe'' comic]] stems from early plans to release a Trailbreaker redeco of the ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[X-Brawn]] mold as a convention exclusive in [[2003]]. Reportedly, Hasbro themselves also had the same idea for the mass retail 2003 ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' Deluxe Class assortment, but due to the aforementioned reasons, the toy was ultimately given a different deco and released as "[[Ratchet (Universe)|Autobot Ratchet]]" instead.

Later, a [[redeco]] of the ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Spychanger]] [[Ironhide (RID)#Universe (2003)|Ironhide]] was released as a [[Walmart]]-exclusive under the ''Universe'' banner, a black pickup truck with the distinctive red and yellow stripes from Trailbreaker's original toy. Ultimately, this toy would be released as ''Universe'' Ironhide instead. Years later, the Facebook edition of [[Ask Vector Prime]] would [[Repurposing|repurpose]] the toy as Trailbreaker, restoring the original intent.

The original Trailbreaker toy was also among a list of [[Generation 1 reissues|reissues]] intended for release as part of the ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' found in Australian [[Toys"R"Us]] computers, but with the cancellation of the ''Commemorative Series'', these plans never came to fruition.

The next attempt was in the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line, the toy that would eventually become [[Swindle (G1)#Alternators|Swindle]] and later [[Rollbar (G1)#Alternators|Rollbar]]. A [[retool]] of the [[Hound (G1)/toys#Alternators|Hound]] Jeep Wrangler toy, its head is a cross between the original Trailbreaker toy's helmet and the cartoon model's face, surprisingly similar to [[Dan Khanna]]'s rendition of the character in 3H's ''Universe'' comic. A black and white version of a proposed color guide for the unreleased Trailbreaker version of the sculpt was depicted in the Japanese ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'' book.

Finally, the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' Autobot [[Overhaul (Cybertron)#Toys|Overhaul]] was originally going to be called "Trailbreaker", and the head sculpt was to have more elements from the Generation 1 character's design. These plans were again scrapped, but the character's upgraded form, '''Leobreaker''', retains the "breaker" portion of the name, since "Leohaul" sounds really silly. (The name "Overcast" was temporarily considered, but quickly dropped again.)

{{picsneeded|''Transformers Authentics'' figures}}
'''''Transformers Authentics''''' is a kid-oriented toyline launched in [[2017]], comprising simple figures developed for the discount market. The figures are based on the [[evergreen]] designs that Hasbro established in the same year. The line took the place of the [[market six]] Legion Class figures from 2015, which had the "authentic Transformers" disclaimer.

The line features several distinct price points, though the assortments aren't identified on any packaging or instructions. The names used in this article come from retailer and distributor listings.

[[File:G1ArceeProto.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Orange? Where'd that come from?]]
*'''Arcee''' (Autobot Car?, <s>198?</s>)

: Despite being a major character in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', no transforming toy of Arcee was made during the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original toyline]]'s run. Images of a hand-sculpted [[prototype]] based on Arcee's original character design ([[Arcee (G1)#Notes|see "Notes"]]) have appeared in several Japanese publications—including a booklet included with ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]'' {{w|LaserDisc}} set and ''[[Transformers First Series Complete]]''—but it appears the toy never progressed beyond this stage.

{{-}}{{anchor|HeadmasterConcept}}
*'''Arcee''' (Headmaster, <s>198?</s>)
[[File:Concept-HeadmasterArcee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Pinkdome.]]

: The Japanese ''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]'' book shows a piece of concept artwork of the Headmaster [[Chromedome (G1)#Generation 1|Chromedome]]'s car mode in pink and white, labeled "Arcee". This was evidently a proposal for a redeco of the toy as Headmaster Arcee from "[[The Rebirth]]". (Presumably, then, this was a Hasbro-initiated idea.) The idea does not appear to have gone any further.

*'''Arcee''' (Mega, 2001)
**''Accessories'': Spider-fang grappling line

: The very first true transforming Arcee toy is a [[redeco]] and minor [[retool]]ing of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Transmetal 2]] [[Blackarachnia (BW)/toys#TM2|Blackarachnia]], transforming into a malformed mish-mash of machine and organic parts in the form of a large spider. The spider mode fangs become a grappling weapon for her [[robot mode]] which extend on a [[Retractable string gimmick|retractable string]]. She has a special [[spark crystal]] that changes her [[insignia]] from [[Autobot]] to [[Maximal]] when rotated. The [[robot mode]] also features a spring-powered waist-swivel for "power kick" action. Arcee lacks the Blackarachnia toy's additional chest armor, and thus has oddly-placed holes in her... well, chest, that keep the armor in place.

: Arcee was available only as an [[exclusive]] to [[BotCon 2001]], and along with [[Tigatron#BotCon2001|Tigatron]] was the first time since the inception of [[3H Productions|3H]] that they were allowed to use existing characters for convention exclusives. Arcee is also the first convention toy to feature retooling. Preorders received their Arcees with a bonus; the box contained a light-sensitive sound chip featuring voice actress [[Susan Blu]]'s voice saying "Don't underestimate me, I'm more than just a pretty face. Arcee, MAXIMIZE!". These chips were VERY light-sensitive, with many fans finding that the box would chatter at little provocation for years afterwards.

:Both Arcee and Tigatron were limited to 1200 pieces.

*'''Arcee''' (2008)
**''ID number:'' '''BT-21'''
**''Accessories:'' Engine/gun

:Arcee is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Decepticharge]] (himself a [[retool]] of [[Windcharger (G1)#Alternators|Windcharger]]/[[Overdrive]]), using Honda's "Pearl White" for the car bodywork. The figure transforms into a "street performance" Honda S2000. Her hardtop roof can be removed for an open-top [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] and used as a shield in [[robot mode]]. The engine and driveshaft may be removed and used as a long-barreled rifle (as the toy is Japanese issue and not subject to the same issues that removed the long barrel from the [[Hasbro]] versions of the mold).

: A redeco of this toy as [[Paradron Medic#Binaltech|Paradron Medic]] was originally planned to be released simultaneously, but was canceled. This fate also befell a redeco meant to be Arcee's occasional mold-mate [[Blackarachnia (BW)/toys#Binaltech|Blackarachnia]]. The [[robot mode]] was used as the base model for the non-toy car-form [[Legion (KP)|Legion]].

{{toydesigner|[[Ed Masiello]] (Hasbro)}}

: As part of the second wave of ''[[Kre-O]]'' [[Micro-Changer]]s, [[Kreon]] Arcee can be rebuilt into a sports car. She uses the [[Ironhide (Kre-O)|Ironhide]] style helmet.

: This Collection was still in circulation at "dollar" stores and drug stores up through 2015. They eventually lost the individual-identifying bag codes, but other changes were hidden inside the bag. The 2015 releases replaced the 2x4 logo stand-brick with a new 3x4 logo plate. The Kreon was also given the slight [[retool]]ing to the arm seen in the 2014 Kreons, making the "cuff" parts more sharp-cornered and better adapted to being used as studs. Some of the add-on pieces may also be slightly off-color, possibly due to a change in factories in mid-production.

**''Voted'': Prom Queen
**''Accessories'': 2 small pistols

: This version of Arcee, part of the [[Kreon Class of 1984]], uses a darker magenta base color, and has much more extensively-detailed [[tampograph]]s than her Micro-Changer version, including a nose! She still uses the [[Ironhide (Kre-O)|Ironhide]] style helmet.

: She was only available in a pack of 30 Kreons dubbed "Class of 1984"... despite the fact that the character of Arcee wasn't introduced until 198''6''. Huh. This set was made for sale at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014. Remaining stock was to be sold through the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online store, but the set sold out at the convention.

*'''Arcee''' (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2016)
**''Collection'': '''2'''
**''Accessories'': Stand-plate, 2 small pistols

:In 2016, the Collection 2 Micro-Changers were re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released ''Kre-O'' sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Arcee's [[paint operation]]s have also been slightly altered (much less so than most others in the collection), mostly just replacing her white paint with a very light pink.

:Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.

*'''Arcee''' (Deluxe Class, 2014)
**''Series / Number'': '''02 / #021'''
**''Accessories:'' Large gun, small gun, two swords
{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist)}}

: ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Arcee is the holy grail that, after 28 years, many thought would never happen. Unlike most ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toys at the time, Arcee does not have an updated design or one based on the IDW comics, but instead hews to her original animated character model, transforming into a made-up "futuristic" pink and white sports car—this was done at the behest of designer [[Hironori Kobayashi]], who based the toy on [https://www.camphortree.net/tf/kitbashes/botcon_arcee.html an older custom of his] which won first price at [[BotCon Japan 1998]] and which later helped land him a job at Takara. The final design was sketched out by ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (manga)|Kiss Players]]'' artist [[Yuki Ohshima]], who added the unsettlingly human-like hips and navel.

: Arcee is armed with a pistol based on the one she wielded in the movie, a larger gun, and a pair of translucent blue swords that pay homage to her ''[[Arcee (Animated)|Animated]]'' and IDW incarnations; all four weapons each feature several universally-sized rectangular pegs that allows them to be tabbed into multiple matching ports in her fists, forearms, hips, shoulders, and the sides and rear of her car mode. Additionally, her two guns can store beneath her car mode, though this is not mentioned in her instructions. A mixup on the part of the photographer meant the smaller pistol does not appear in Arcee's [[stock photography]], but rather that of her [[wave]]-mate Chromia. Thanks to an extra transformation joint in her upper thighs, Arcee's legs are very posable, and can even be crossed. Arcee's paint, in particular the pink paint on her thighs and the white paint on the car's grille, is susceptible to chipping and flaking off if care is not taken.

: The initial release of Arcee had closed fists that proved a very tight fit for her weapons' unique pegs. A [[variant#Running changes|running change]] to the sculpt altered her forearm pieces to feature her hands in an open position, and with shorter thumbs, to allow more clearance. Unfortunately, a protrusion added to the lower end of the later version's hands to reduce fragility prevents the handles of her weapons from being fully inserted.<ref name="genvariant">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wW-3CB5EbQY Comparison of both variants of ''Generations'' Deluxe Class Arcee] at YouTube.</ref> This second variant of the toy was the basis of most (but not all) future uses of this mold, including additional Arcees below, ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' [[Nightbird (G1)#Legends|Nightbird Shadow]], [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service|Figure Subscription Service 5.0]] [[Lifeline (G1)#Combiner Wars|Lifeline]] and ''[[Street Fighter II × Transformers]]'' [[Chun-Li#Toys|Chun-Li]]. Her weapons were also used for [[Impactor (G1)#TFSS|Figure Subscription Service 4.0 Impactor]].

*'''Combiner Hunters''' (Multi-pack, [[July 9]], 2015)
**''Accessories:'' 2 swords, [[Combiner Slayer]] sword

:''Combiner Hunters'' Arcee is a [[black repaint|mostly-black]] [[redeco]] of ''Thrilling 30'' Arcee, notable for its new accessory: a gigantic "[[Combiner Slayer]]" sword redecoed from the larger ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#BH|Beast Hunters]]'' Ultimate Class [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Ultimate|Optimus Prime]] figure. Said Optimus is ''much'' bigger than Arcee, meaning that the sword is both taller and wider than she is, neccessitating a [[retool]] to Arcee's forearms to allow her hands to hold [[5 mm post|5 mm compatible weaponry]]. Unfortunately, her grip is on the looser side, especially with this mold's original weapon set, of which only the two swords are provided with this release.

:Arcee's stock photos show a slightly different deco to the final toy, lacking the pink and blue stripes on her vehicle mode, featuring a white crotch and biceps, and having the Autobot insignia on her cheek in red rather than the final toy's pink.

:This version of Arcee was only available in a [[giftset|gift set]] together with ''Combiner Hunters'' redecos of ''Generations'' [[Windblade (G1)#Combiner Wars|Windblade]] and [[Chromia (G1)#Combiner Wars|Chromia]], each with their own giant new melee weapons. In the U.S., this set was [[exclusive]] to the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] website and the Hasbro Toy Shop booth at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2015. In Asia, it was also available at [[Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong]] 2015 and subsequently stocked by [[Toys"R"Us]] Hong Kong. Later, it was also available at The Falcon's Hangar booth at Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention 2015.

:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', Arcee is a redeco of the [[#Generations|''Thrilling 30'' Deluxe Class toy]], with the running change variant's open hands. Like her ''Legends'' release, Arcee replaces all her black plastic parts and paint operations with either white, grey or pink, though her animation-accuracy is hindered by her paintjob's metallic finish. Stock renders show her with a metallic pink crotch, though the final toy has it in white.

:Arcee was released as part of five-pack with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Ultra Magnus]] (including [[Minimus Ambus#Platinum Edition|Minimus Ambus]]), [[Springer (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Autobot Springer]], [[Kup (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Sergeant Kup]], and [[Blurr (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Blurr]]. The set also included a recreation of the theatrical poster for the 1986 movie. In the United States, this set was officially a [[Target]] exclusive, but was only available via the company's website, never sold in stores. It was also released in Singapore, although it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not. In Canada, it was available via the Canadian [[Walmart]] website but never found in stores, whereas in the United Kingdom, it was available via the UK [[Toys"R"Us]] website and stores. In Spain, it was available via the Spanish subsidiaries of both [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour, as well as the department store chain El Corte Inglés, supposedly also only avalable online.

:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Arcee is a fairly extensive [[retool]] of ''Titans Return'' Deluxe Class [[Blurr (G1)/toys#TitansReturn|Blurr]], transforming into a [[Popular Cybertronian vehicle alternate modes#Hovercar|futuristic hovercar]]. She comes with a new [[Titan Master]], Leinad ("Daniel" backwards) who forms her robot head and fits into her cockpit. Her vehicle mode has small wheels that allow her to roll on any hard surface and a pair of smaller pegs that allow other Titan Master figures to stand on her. Her new shield/hood piece can be piloted by a Titan Master and also stow Arcee's two new weapons, which are sculpted with smaller handles in a way that they can actually be held by all the previous versions of the character. Arcee is also packaged with a solo Titan Master [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#HasCon|Ultra Magnus]].

:Arcee debuted at [[HasCon 2017]], this being described as an "advanced" sale ahead of a later standard release.<ref>[http://io9.gizmodo.com/hasbros-own-convention-will-sell-you-a-giant-transforme-1797331311 Hasbro's Own Convention Will Sell You a Giant Transformer That Actually Charges Your Phone]</ref> The set was then made available on [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] on September 20th, 2017–selling out in approximately one hour–and then at [[Toys"R"Us]] and [[New York Comic Con]] 2017 beginning on October 5th, 2017.

**''Accessories'': 2 laser pistols, Autobot Sky Spy unit, display base
:This figure represents Arcee's [[synthoid]] human body seen in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original cartoon]] season 3 episode "[[Only Human]]". It consists mostly of a combination of redecoed parts from existing ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' figures; namely, the torso, waist, and upper legs of the 2011 ''Renegades'' version of [[Scarlett]], the arms and hands of the 2009 ''G.I. Joe Set'' version of [[Lady Jaye]], and the lower legs and feet of [[Agent Helix]] from the 2009 ''Rise of Cobra'' line. The only new part is the head sculpt, which faithfully recreates the look of the Arcee synthoid from "Only Human", down to the animators' misinterpretation of the "buns" on the sides of robot Arcee's head (which were inspired by Princess Leia's iconic hair buns in the original 1977 ''Star Wars'' film) as one single piece of woven hair that wraps around the back of her head.

:Her accessories are redecos of the UAV drone that originally came with the 2013 ''Retaliation'' [https://www.yojoe.com/action/13/dataviper.shtml Data-Viper] figure, reinterpreted as a [[Sky Spy]] unit, and the guns from the same Agent Helix figure that also donated her lower legs and feet for this figure. The included display base/stand is the generic 2013 ''Retaliation'' version, with a tampographed Autobot insignia.

:Despite being branded only as a ''Transformers'' product, this figure was exclusively available through both Fun Publications' ''G.I. Joe'' and [[Transformers Collectors' Club|''Transformers'' Collectors' Club]] online stores.

{{toydesigner|[[Ken Christiansen]] (concept artist)}}

:Part of a second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Deluxe Class toys, this mold of Arcee transforms into her classic futuristic car mode and is armed with a clear blue blaster. In contrast to the 2014 ''Thrilling 30'' [[#Generations|Arcee mold]] which incorporated the chest and legs into the vehicle mode, this ''Earthrise'' toy is a true [[shellformer]], the entire humanoid body folding up underneath a vehicle mode shell, which becomes a sizeable backpack for her robot mode. She utilizes a faux vehicle center-front for the chest, with the real part folding down behind her head. Part of the backpack (the rear half of her car shell) is designed to detach to act like a hoverboard that robot-mode Arcee can ride, by pegging her feet onto the 3 mm posts on the board designed to accommodate the ''War for Cybertron'' Fire Blast effect parts. Arcee has notably few such posts for her size, and has a similarly small number of [[5 mm post|5 mm]] [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] ports. The lack of a 5 mm port on her back in both backpack configurations means she cannot on her own recreate [[Cog (G1)|Cog]] weaponizing her as seen in the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' cartoon. A new accessory packed with [[Security Officer|Red Cog]] would later allow this combination.

:In vehicle mode, Arcee's blaster can be attached to either of her front fenders or stored out of sight beneath her hood. In robot mode, it can be stored on a port on her butt, or plug into the fender ports on her back once the hoverboard is removed. Though the figure has standard 5 mm fist holes, the blaster's handle is molded in the unusual flattened shape used by ''Thrilling 30'' and ''Titans Return'' [[#Titans Return|Arcee]].

:Many fans have taken it upon themselves to knock out the pin holding the backpack joint together in order to have a complete vehicle mode separate from the robot mode. Like many newer figures, her paint has been reported yellowing over time.

:The original stock renders have a few different paint applications compared to the final toy, depicting the car mode with grey coloring on the side panels, and the back half of the waist being painted pink and grey to match the front. Additionally, the connector that links the hoverboard to the rest of her backpack is colored pink instead of white and is attached to the backpack instead of the board.

:Like all ''Earthrise'' toys, the inside of the back of Arcee's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger space map, along with a translucent red "decoder". Arcee's piece contains the labeled location of [[Master (planet)|DOMINUS]]. Like most ''Earthrise'' figures from wave 2, it is misprinted and overlays the "decodable" red graphics from the map piece included with ''Earthrise'' [[Hoist (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Hoist]] on top of the details unique to Arcee's piece.

:Arcee was redecoed into [[Lifeline (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Lifeline]] and retooled into ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Elita One (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Elita-1]].

*'''Arcee''' ([[December 29]], [[2020]])
**''ID Number'': '''MP-51'''
**''Accessories'': blaster, holster, 3 effect parts, rifle, pistol, shredding arm, 3 alternate faces

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Arcee is an all-new mold that transforms from a robot into a Cybertronian car, though the robot mode favors a leaner and slender design as opposed to directly replicating the original animation model, a rare move in modern ''Masterpiece'' figures. Aside from her blaster, Arcee also comes with a rifle, an assortment of alternate faces, a holster for the smaller blaster, a pistol, effect parts for her blasters, and a drill arm based on the one she used to stop a Junkion during the chase in the movie. In addition, the figure's head has a foldout visor from the movie. Much like MP-46 [[Blackarachnia (BW)/toys#Masterpiece|Blackwidow]], Arcee's design hyper-emphasizes feminine stylings and enhanced poseability, also extending to her hands. ''Unlike'' MP-46, however, Arcee's stylization goes to the point of neglecting screen accuracy, having a sculpt which forgoes the animation model's wider, slightly boxy stomach and waist while also giving her a much wider (and lower) bust. Not to mention the extremely arched back.

:This mold was retooled into [[Nightbird (G1)#Masterpiece|Nightbird]].

This was one of a set of 14 minifigures in the "Unicron Companion Pack" that was included with the [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|"reformatting" version of Galvatron]].

:Released as the sole figure in the fifth wave of ''Authentics'' "Bravo Class" figures, ''[[Transformers Authentics|Authentics]]'' Arcee is a roughly-Scout-sized mold that is developed for the discount market. She changes from robot to a Cybertronian car that borrows design cues from her ''Earthrise'' and ''Cyberverse'' Deluxe toys. Her blaster can be stored on top of her vehicle mode where it cleverly doubles as the antennae-like device that usually adorns the top of G1 Arcee's vehicle mode.

:Unlike many of her Deluxe iterations, this version of Arcee does not utilize [[shellformer|shellforming]] in order to change forms, however she lacks feet and is a little back heavy for her size, so her stability is questionable. Her legs can be locked into a more stable position if her knees are hyperextended. She features a decent range of articulation on her upper body, though her knees can only move sideways due to her transformation scheme.

:Part of the seventeenth wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Arcee is, surprisingly enough, ''not'' a redeco of the [[#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' toy]], but rather an extensive retool of the eight-year-old [[#Generations|''Thrilling 30'' toy]]. She features an entirely new lower body and back half of the car, in service of adding the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' standard of articulation to robot mode and a more accurate vehicle mode. Her new forearms are directly based on those of her [[#Combiner Wars|''Combiner Hunters'' toy]], now altered to remove the weapon mounts on the sides and increase the gripping surface of her [[5 mm post]]-compatible hands. She retains the ''Thrilling 30'' toy's smaller blaster accessory, which can holster on her thighs or mount over her shoulders as on the original toy. The blaster stores under the rear of the car mode in a manner similar to ''Thrilling 30'''s.

:Arcee's waist hinges, while giving her rare ab crunch articulation, do not lock in securely and can come apart when handling. Also, make sure that the shoulder joints are properly positioned so the car kibble can align properly.

:Like the other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a display backdrop, with it depicting the Battle of Autobot City.

:Arcee and her wave-mates were revealed by TakaraTomy on [[May 10]], 2022, and set for pre-order in Japanese markets, unusually before Hasbro.

*'''Arcee''' (1987)

:Arcee was one of three non-transforming ''[[Super High-Breed Model]]'' vinyl figurines created in 1987 by Takara. Standing at about eight inches tall and featuring articulation in the neck and shoulders, Arcee and her fellows (Rodimus Prime and Galvatron) were based on their [[Studio OX]] character models, featuring much more anime-styled proportions and detailing.

:For reasons unknown, the retail release of Arcee and the other ''Super High-Breed Model'' figures was canceled. While Galvatron was eventually released as an exclusive at [[BotCon Japan 1997]], Arcee and Rodimus have never been officially released, though they do occasionally pop up on the secondary market, commanding prices in excess of $600.

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Arcee was available in the first wave of Takara's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. She is armed with her pistol from the scene in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' where she shoots at [[Unicron]]'s internal defenses. Like all the figures in the "Act", she was available as both a standard full color figure and a colorless translucent version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

:Arcee was [[redeco]]ed to create the chase figure for the eighth wave of the series, the [[Paradron Medic#Super Collection Figure|Paradron Medic]].

:The Arcee figurine was re-released, with no notable changes, as part of the fourth wave of the ''Super Collection Figure'' series, now packaged with a figure of [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Daniel Witwicky]] in his [[exosuit]]. Amusingly, this box comes with ''two'' stands, one for each figure.

: The pair were available in both full color and metallic "pewter" versions, with one of each in every case. In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of the set came with the body of the line's collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Metroplex]] "build-a-figure", with that assembly coming in either full-color or clear-plastic at an equal 4-to-4 ratio.

: 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.

There are other small but significant changes to her deco; most notably her midriff detailing is now painted red (a detail the SCF oddly misses), her blaster now has a black barrel rather than dark gray, her pinks and grays are darker, and her whites are considerably brighter.

: Rather than come blindpacked like the ''SCF'' figure, Arcee came on a blister card with a profile card included.

: This mold was later [[redeco]]ed to make the ''Heroes of Cybertron'' [[Paradron Medic#Heroes of Cybertron|Paradron Medic]].

Images of a hand-sculpted [[prototype]] based on Arcee's original character design ([[Arcee (G1)#Notes|see "Notes"]]) have appeared in several Japanese publications—including a booklet included with ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]'' {{w|LaserDisc}} set and ''[[Transformers First Series Complete]]''—but it appears the toy never progressed beyond this stage.

*'''Arcee''' (Mega, 2001)
**''Accessories'': Spider-fang grappling line

: The very first true transforming Arcee toy is a [[redeco]] and minor [[retool]]ing of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Transmetal 2]] [[Blackarachnia (BW)/toys#TM2|Blackarachnia]], transforming into a malformed mish-mash of machine and organic parts in the form of a large spider. The spider mode fangs become a grappling weapon for her [[robot mode]] which extend on a [[Retractable string gimmick|retractable string]]. She has a special [[spark crystal]] that changes her [[insignia]] from [[Autobot]] to [[Maximal]] when rotated. The [[robot mode]] also features a spring-powered waist-swivel for "power kick" action. Arcee lacks the Blackarachnia toy's additional chest armor, and thus has oddly-placed holes in her... well, chest, that keep the armor in place.

: Arcee was available only as an [[exclusive]] to [[BotCon 2001]], and along with [[Tigatron#BotCon2001|Tigatron]] was the first time since the inception of [[3H Productions|3H]] that they were allowed to use existing characters for convention exclusives. Arcee is also the first convention toy to feature retooling. Preorders received their Arcees with a bonus; the box contained a light-sensitive sound chip featuring voice actress [[Susan Blu]]'s voice saying "Don't underestimate me, I'm more than just a pretty face. Arcee, MAXIMIZE!". These chips were VERY light-sensitive, with many fans finding that the box would chatter at little provocation for years afterwards.

:Both Arcee and Tigatron were limited to 1200 pieces.

:Arcee is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Decepticharge]] (himself a [[retool]] of [[Windcharger (G1)#Alternators|Windcharger]]/[[Overdrive]]), using Honda's "Pearl White" for the car bodywork. The figure transforms into a "street performance" Honda S2000. Her hardtop roof can be removed for an open-top [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] and used as a shield in [[robot mode]]. The engine and driveshaft may be removed and used as a long-barreled rifle (as the toy is Japanese issue and not subject to the same issues that removed the long barrel from the [[Hasbro]] versions of the mold).

: A redeco of this toy as [[Paradron Medic#Binaltech|Paradron Medic]] was originally planned to be released simultaneously, but was canceled. This fate also befell a redeco meant to be Arcee's occasional mold-mate [[Blackarachnia (BW)/toys#Binaltech|Blackarachnia]].

: As part of the second wave of ''[[Kre-O]]'' [[Micro-Changer]]s, [[Kreon]] Arcee can be rebuilt into a sports car. She uses the [[Ironhide (Kre-O)|Ironhide]] style helmet.

: This Collection was still in circulation at "dollar" stores and drug stores up through 2015. They eventually lost the individual-identifying bag codes, but other changes were hidden inside the bag. The 2015 releases replaced the 2x4 logo stand-brick with a new 3x4 logo plate. The Kreon was also given the slight [[retool]]ing to the arm seen in the 2014 Kreons, making the "cuff" parts more sharp-cornered and better adapted to being used as studs. Some of the add-on pieces may also be slightly off-color, possibly due to a change in factories in mid-production.

Arcee's [[paint operation]]s have also been slightly altered (much less so than most others in the collection), mostly just replacing her white paint with a very light pink.

*'''Arcee''' (Deluxe Class, 2014)
**''Series / Number'': '''02 / #021'''
**''Accessories:'' Large gun, small gun, two swords
{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist)}}

: ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Arcee is the holy grail that, after 28 years, many thought would never happen. Unlike most ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toys at the time, Arcee does not have an updated design or one based on the IDW comics, but instead hews to her original animated character model, transforming into a made-up "futuristic" pink and white sports car—this was done at the behest of designer [[Hironori Kobayashi]], who based the toy on [https://www.camphortree.net/tf/kitbashes/botcon_arcee.html an older custom of his] which won first price at [[BotCon Japan 1998]] and which later helped land him a job at Takara. The final design was sketched out by ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (manga)|Kiss Players]]'' artist [[Yuki Ohshima]], who added the unsettlingly human-like hips and navel.

: Arcee is armed with a pistol based on the one she wielded in the movie, a larger gun, and a pair of translucent blue swords that pay homage to her ''[[Arcee (Animated)|Animated]]'' and IDW incarnations; all four weapons each feature several universally-sized rectangular pegs that allows them to be tabbed into multiple matching ports in her fists, forearms, hips, shoulders, and the sides and rear of her car mode. Additionally, her two guns can store beneath her car mode, though this is not mentioned in her instructions. A mixup on the part of the photographer meant the smaller pistol does not appear in Arcee's [[stock photography]], but rather that of her [[wave]]-mate Chromia. Thanks to an extra transformation joint in her upper thighs, Arcee's legs are very posable, and can even be crossed. Arcee's paint, in particular the pink paint on her thighs and the white paint on the car's grille, is susceptible to chipping and flaking off if care is not taken.

: The initial release of Arcee had closed fists that proved a very tight fit for her weapons' unique pegs. A [[variant#Running changes|running change]] to the sculpt altered her forearm pieces to feature her hands in an open position, and with shorter thumbs, to allow more clearance. Unfortunately, a protrusion added to the lower end of the later version's hands to reduce fragility prevents the handles of her weapons from being fully inserted.<ref name="genvariant">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wW-3CB5EbQY Comparison of both variants of ''Generations'' Deluxe Class Arcee] at YouTube.</ref> This second variant of the toy was the basis of most (but not all) future uses of this mold, including additional Arcees below, ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' [[Nightbird (G1)#Legends|Nightbird Shadow]], [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service|Figure Subscription Service 5.0]] [[Lifeline (G1)#Combiner Wars|Lifeline]] and ''[[Street Fighter II × Transformers]]'' [[Chun-Li#Toys|Chun-Li]].

:''Combiner Hunters'' Arcee is a [[black repaint|mostly-black]] [[redeco]] of ''Thrilling 30'' Arcee, notable for its new accessory: a gigantic "[[Combiner Slayer]]" sword redecoed from the larger ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#BH|Beast Hunters]]'' Ultimate Class [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Ultimate|Optimus Prime]] figure. Said Optimus is ''much'' bigger than Arcee, meaning that the sword is both taller and wider than she is, neccessitating a [[retool]] to Arcee's forearms to allow her hands to hold [[5 mm post|5 mm compatible weaponry]]. Unfortunately, her grip is on the looser side, especially with this mold's original weapon set, of which only the two swords are provided with this release.

:Arcee's stock photos show a slightly different deco to the final toy, lacking the pink and blue stripes on her vehicle mode, featuring a white crotch and biceps, and having the Autobot insignia on her cheek in red rather than the final toy's pink.

:This version of Arcee was only available in a [[giftset|gift set]] together with ''Combiner Hunters'' redecos of ''Generations'' [[Windblade (G1)#Combiner Wars|Windblade]] and [[Chromia (G1)#Combiner Wars|Chromia]], each with their own giant new melee weapons.

:This figure represents Arcee's [[synthoid]] human body seen in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original cartoon]] season 3 episode "[[Only Human]]". It consists mostly of a combination of redecoed parts from existing ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' figures; namely, the torso, waist, and upper legs of the 2011 ''Renegades'' version of [[Scarlett]], the arms and hands of the 2009 ''G.I. Joe Set'' version of [[Lady Jaye]], and the lower legs and feet of [[Agent Helix]] from the 2009 ''Rise of Cobra'' line. The only new part is the head sculpt, which faithfully recreates the look of the Arcee synthoid from "Only Human", down to the animators' misinterpretation of the "buns" on the sides of robot Arcee's head (which were inspired by Princess Leia's iconic hair buns in the original 1977 ''Star Wars'' film) as one single piece of woven hair that wraps around the back of her head.

:Her accessories are redecos of the UAV drone that originally came with the 2013 ''Retaliation'' [https://www.yojoe.com/action/13/dataviper.shtml Data-Viper] figure, reinterpreted as a [[Sky Spy]] unit, and the guns from the same Agent Helix figure that also donated her lower legs and feet for this figure.

{{toydesigner|[[Ken Christiansen]] (concept artist)}}

:Part of a second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Deluxe Class toys, this mold of Arcee transforms into her classic futuristic car mode and is armed with a clear blue blaster. In contrast to the 2014 ''Thrilling 30'' [[#Generations|Arcee mold]] which incorporated the chest and legs into the vehicle mode, this ''Earthrise'' toy is a true [[shellformer]], the entire humanoid body folding up underneath a vehicle mode shell, which becomes a sizeable backpack for her robot mode. She utilizes a faux vehicle center-front for the chest, with the real part folding down behind her head. Part of the backpack (the rear half of her car shell) is designed to detach to act like a hoverboard that robot-mode Arcee can ride, by pegging her feet onto the 3 mm posts on the board designed to accommodate the ''War for Cybertron'' Fire Blast effect parts. Arcee has notably few such posts for her size, and has a similarly small number of [[5 mm post|5 mm]] [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] ports. The lack of a 5 mm port on her back in both backpack configurations means she cannot on her own recreate [[Cog (G1)|Cog]] weaponizing her as seen in the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' cartoon. A new accessory packed with [[Security Officer|Red Cog]] would later allow this combination.

:In vehicle mode, Arcee's blaster can be attached to either of her front fenders or stored out of sight beneath her hood. In robot mode, it can be stored on a port on her butt, or plug into the fender ports on her back once the hoverboard is removed. Though the figure has standard 5 mm fist holes, the blaster's handle is molded in the unusual flattened shape used by ''Thrilling 30'' and ''Titans Return'' [[#Titans Return|Arcee]].

:Many fans have taken it upon themselves to knock out the pin holding the backpack joint together in order to have a complete vehicle mode separate from the robot mode. Like many newer figures, her paint has been reported yellowing over time.

:The original stock renders have a few different paint applications compared to the final toy, depicting the car mode with grey coloring on the side panels, and the back half of the waist being painted pink and grey to match the front. Additionally, the connector that links the hoverboard to the rest of her backpack is colored pink instead of white and is attached to the backpack instead of the board.

:Like all ''Earthrise'' toys, the inside of the back of Arcee's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger space map, along with a translucent red "decoder". Arcee's piece contains the labeled location of [[Master (planet)|DOMINUS]]. Like most ''Earthrise'' figures from wave 2, it is misprinted and overlays the "decodable" red graphics from the map piece included with ''Earthrise'' [[Hoist (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Hoist]] on top of the details unique to Arcee's piece.

:Arcee was redecoed into [[Lifeline (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Lifeline]] and retooled into ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Elita One (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Elita-1]].

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Arcee is an all-new mold that transforms from a robot into a Cybertronian car, though the robot mode favors a leaner and slender design as opposed to directly replicating the original animation model, a rare move in modern ''Masterpiece'' figures. Aside from her blaster, Arcee also comes with a rifle, an assortment of alternate faces, a holster for the smaller blaster, a pistol, effect parts for her blasters, and a drill arm based on the one she used to stop a Junkion during the chase in the movie. In addition, the figure's head has a foldout visor from the movie. Much like MP-46 [[Blackarachnia (BW)/toys#Masterpiece|Blackwidow]], Arcee's design hyper-emphasizes feminine stylings and enhanced poseability, also extending to her hands. ''Unlike'' MP-46, however, Arcee's stylization goes to the point of neglecting screen accuracy, having a sculpt which forgoes the animation model's wider, slightly boxy stomach and waist while also giving her a much wider (and lower) bust. Not to mention the extremely arched back.

:Released as the sole figure in the fifth wave of ''Authentics'' "Bravo Class" figures, ''[[Transformers Authentics|Authentics]]'' Arcee is a roughly-Scout-sized mold that is developed for the discount market. She changes from robot to a Cybertronian car that borrows design cues from her ''Earthrise'' and ''Cyberverse'' Deluxe toys. Her blaster can be stored on top of her vehicle mode where it cleverly doubles as the antennae-like device that usually adorns the top of G1 Arcee's vehicle mode.

:Unlike many of her Deluxe iterations, this version of Arcee does not utilize [[shellformer|shellforming]] in order to change forms, however she lacks feet and is a little back heavy for her size, so her stability is questionable. Her legs can be locked into a more stable position if her knees are hyperextended. She features a decent range of articulation on her upper body, though her knees can only move sideways due to her transformation scheme.

:Part of the seventeenth wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Arcee is, surprisingly enough, ''not'' a redeco of the [[#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' toy]], but rather an extensive retool of the eight-year-old [[#Generations|''Thrilling 30'' toy]]. She features an entirely new lower body and back half of the car, in service of adding the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' standard of articulation to robot mode and a more accurate vehicle mode. Her new forearms are directly based on those of her [[#Combiner Wars|''Combiner Hunters'' toy]], now altered to remove the weapon mounts on the sides and increase the gripping surface of her [[5 mm post]]-compatible hands. She retains the ''Thrilling 30'' toy's smaller blaster accessory, which can holster on her thighs or mount over her shoulders as on the original toy. The blaster stores under the rear of the car mode in a manner similar to ''Thrilling 30'''s.

:Arcee's waist hinges, while giving her rare ab crunch articulation, do not lock in securely and can come apart when handling. Also, make sure that the shoulder joints are properly positioned so the car kibble can align properly.

:Like the other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a display backdrop, with it depicting the Battle of Autobot City.

:Arcee and her wave-mates were revealed by TakaraTomy on [[May 10]], 2022, and set for pre-order in Japanese markets, unusually before Hasbro.

[[File:Hybrid model arcee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Arcee pets a dog. (Dog not included.)]]
*'''Arcee''' (1987)
**''ID number:'' '''H-03'''

:Arcee was one of three non-transforming ''[[Super High-Breed Model]]'' vinyl figurines created in 1987 by Takara. Standing at about eight inches tall and featuring articulation in the neck and shoulders, Arcee and her fellows (Rodimus Prime and Galvatron) were based on their [[Studio OX]] character models, featuring much more anime-styled proportions and detailing.

:For reasons unknown, the retail release of Arcee and the other ''Super High-Breed Model'' figures was canceled. While Galvatron was eventually released as an exclusive at [[BotCon Japan 1997]], Arcee and Rodimus have never been officially released, though they do occasionally pop up on the secondary market, commanding prices in excess of $600.

*'''Arcee''' (1996)

:This Japanese "garage kit", an unpainted resin model, was made by [[MC Axis]] and was also the first official product of Arcee that got a retail release. Included among its paperwork is a [[The Transformers (MC Axis manga)|comic strip]] starring Arcee. It is not known for its exceptional quality control—numerous unsightly air bubbles in the plastic are not an uncommon thing to encounter.

:The resin parts need to be washed '''first''' to prevent the paint from smearing off.

**''Act'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Arcee was available in the first wave of Takara's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. She is armed with her pistol from the scene in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' where she shoots at [[Unicron]]'s internal defenses. Like all the figures in the "Act", she was available as both a standard full color figure and a colorless translucent version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

:Arcee was [[redeco]]ed to create the chase figure for the eighth wave of the series, the [[Paradron Medic#Super Collection Figure|Paradron Medic]].

*'''Arcee (with Daniel)''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''4'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:The Arcee figurine was re-released, with no notable changes, as part of the fourth wave of the ''Super Collection Figure'' series, now packaged with a figure of [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Daniel Witwicky]] in his [[exosuit]]. Amusingly, this box comes with ''two'' stands, one for each figure.

: The pair were available in both full color and metallic "pewter" versions, with one of each in every case. In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of the set came with the body of the line's collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Metroplex]] "build-a-figure", with that assembly coming in either full-color or clear-plastic at an equal 4-to-4 ratio.

: 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.

===''Heroes of Cybertron''===
[[File:HOC Arcee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Arcee''' (2002)

: When Hasbro released the ''Super Collection Figure'' line as ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'', the Arcee figure was released as part of the first wave, now featuring a [[light-piping]] gimmick in the character's eyes, accomplished by casting the figure in translucent blue plastic and then painting over it. There are other small but significant changes to her deco; most notably her midriff detailing is now painted red (a detail the SCF oddly misses), her blaster now has a black barrel rather than dark gray, her pinks and grays are darker, and her whites are considerably brighter.

: Rather than come blindpacked like the ''SCF'' figure, Arcee came on a blister card with a profile card included.

: This mold was later [[redeco]]ed to make the ''Heroes of Cybertron'' [[Paradron Medic#Heroes of Cybertron|Paradron Medic]].

:Produced by Flame Toys, this Arcee is a new addition to the Furai Model line of plastic model kits. Using parts made of hard ABS plastic and some polycaps, She features a unique stylized design that consists of a human-like female body designed by Ban (ばん!).

:If one chooses, the kit can be panel-lined and touched-up with several panel-lining and paint markers (water/acrylic-based markers are recommended, as alcohol-based markers like ''Gundam Markers'' can potentially damage the ABS plastic). If one desires; the kit's pieces, aside from the translucent parts, can be fully coated with spray paints to recreate the finished sample seen in the stock photos.

:Like [[Windblade (G1)#Furai Model|Windblade]], the artwork of Arcee also generated minor controversy, mainly due to how the two shades of pink parts on her torso-to-waist are decoed to look like a very tiny bikini.

:''Hot Shot is an [[Autobot]] [[Wreckers|Wrecker]] and [[Rescue Bot]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[File:RBA Hotshot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Back on TV as the [[kid-appeal character]] at last. Next stop, [[Live-action film series|Hollywood]]!]]

Whether on the [[Cube (sport)|Cube]] court or a rescue mission, '''Hot Shot''' is always looking for a chance to prove himself. Unfortunately, his desire to do so makes him prone to showing off around his more experienced peers. Maybe he'll eventually learn to stop diving head first into dangerous situations, but until then [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] and the [[Rescue Bot]]s will be stuck keeping him out of trouble.

Perhaps in another lifetime, he might have been a member of the crack commando squad, the [[Wreckers]]! Luckily, he's already got a great team in the form of the other Rescue Bot trainees, and when the chips are down, Hot Shot knows they'll always have his back.

===''Timelines''===
{{voiceactor|[[Jason Jansen]] (English)}}
[[File:Prime-HotShotCardArt.jpg|right|thumb|left|"It is not wise to mock my glowing energy mustache if you wish to continue living."]]
Hot Shot participated in a battle somewhere in the [[Rigel]] system alongside his fellow Wrecker [[Kup (WFC)|Kup]]. Kup had just finished telling Hot Shot one of his trademark stories when he noticed that the [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]] attacking them were sporting Enemy-class drone bodies. Luckily for Hot Shot, it ''just so happened'' that Kup had been present when the design had first been tested in battle! So, despite Hot Shot's protests, Kup decided to regale his junior with the thrilling story of his encounter with them.

After a good deal of time listening to Kup's story, Hot Shot realized that their Decepticon assailants have stopped firing upon them, which Kup revealed to have been part of his plan: wait until the Decepticons ran out of ammo, and then escape whilst they were restocking. Hot Shot began to express his gratitude at the end of Kup's story, only to learn that Kup ''hadn't'' finished.

When Kup finally ''did'' finish, Hot Shot quickly began pointing out major holes in his story, such as his recounting of events he ''hadn't even been present for''. Hot Shot's attention to detail only earned him a "'''''Shut up!'''''" from his fellow Wrecker. {{storylink|Unreliable Narratives}}

While playing [[Cube (sport)|Cube]] with his friends on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Hot Shot was approached by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] who invited him to train as a [[Rescue Bot]]. Despite his misgivings, Hot Shot went to Earth, only to screw up the first test rescue and lose a stacking game to [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]]. {{storylink|Recruits Part I}} He was ready to give up and return to Cybertron when Optimus presented him with the [[Mul-T-Cog|Mul-T-Cog Badge]], bestowing upon him the ability to use an additional jet and hovercraft mode, though he could only pick one alternate mode per day. He successfully won a race against Wedge using his jet mode, but when the recruits attempted a cave rescue, Hot Shot realized his jet mode was useless there. The other recruits encouraged him not to give up, and he was instrumental in completing the rescue. {{storylink|Recruits Part II}}

[[File:TheSecretOfFlight Hot Shot jet mode.jpg|thumb|right|310px]]
[[Blades (RB)|Blades]] was called in to tutor Hot Shot when the recruit had trouble with his new jet mode. Though Hot Shot was unsure of the value of the lessons Blades was teaching at first, they allowed him to successfully conduct a rescue. {{storylink|The Secret of Flight}} As the result of another rescue, [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]] made new attachments for the other recruits, including a sonic blaster for Hot Shot. {{storylink|If at First...}} During another rescue exercise, Hot Shot badly damaged [[Tough Luck Chuck]] and was forced to babysit the robot while new parts were found to repair him. His attempts to foist the duty off onto the other recruits resulted in Chuck escaping the [[Rescue Bot Training Center|training center]], and they had to hunt Chuck down in [[Milford]]. {{storylink|Tough Luck Chuck (episode)|Tough Luck Chuck}} Hot Shot was so bored by Chase's class on police codes that he started playing a hand-held game to pass the time. He and the other recruits persuaded Chase to let them try to do a practice rescue, and ended up being rescued themselves by [[Whirl (RBA)|Whirl]] when they got stuck in the snow. {{storylink|Whirl'd View}} When the recruits didn't understand why Boulder was having them plant flowers, the Rescue Bot set them a task which taught them that all parts of nature are important. {{storylink|Plan Bee}}

[[File:MountBotmore Hot Shot flees from head.jpg|thumb|left|280px|(Benny Hill theme)]]
Hot Shot and the other recruits were bugged when Wedge borrowed the trigger for the rescue alarm and had them constantly running drills to get their response time down. {{storylink|The Bot Who Cried Rescue}} When the recruits found out that the residents of [[Griffin Rock]] were carving the faces of the Rescue Bots into a mountain, Hot Shot decided to add his own face to the monument, endangering the [[Griffin Rock dam|nearby dam]]. {{storylink|Mount Botmore}} Hot Shot and Wedge ended up disregarding Hoist when their fellow recruit was put in charge of a rescue mission, and as a result, their own efforts almost ended up in disaster. {{storylink|Mission Inaudible}} After completing a simulated rescue, despite a glitch occurring, the recruits took part in a real rescue in Griffin Rock which was only successful because the glitch gave [[Medix (RB)|Medix]] an idea to complete it safely. {{storylink|Glitch (episode)|Glitch}}

After a ride on the ''[[Sigma]]'', the recruits assumed the four command chairs meant one of their number wouldn't graduate. The team went on to botch a volcano rescue drill after staying up all night worrying, until Heatwave told them they'd assumed wrong. {{storylink|Five into Four}} When Whirl was filming footage for a recruitment video, Hot Shot showed off his target shooting skills and almost destroyed the camera. He and the others later helped whip the footage into a usable state. {{storylink|Rescue Promo}} Hot Shot botched a rescue mission and tried to blame it on the other recruits. Heatwave assigned him to watch the rescue monitors, but after he went off to do a rescue on his own and the other recruits had to go help, he admitted his failure. {{storylink|Blame Game}} Hot Shot and the other recruits set up a surprise rescue mission for Medix, who didn't get the appeal of surprises. Unfortunately, the mission did not go well, and the other recruits promised to stop with the surprises. {{storylink|Medix Surprise}}

[[File:BattleOfTheBots Hot Shot plays Cube.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Hot Shot attempted to cover up the fact he'd never used a [[TX3000]] before when five of them were loaned to the rescue center for the recruits to try out. As a result, he almost botched a rescue and had to admit his inexperience. {{storylink|The TX3000}} The recruits had to round up a lost flock of sheep, but were hampered by Hoist malfunctioning. {{storylink|Little Bot Peep}} Hot Shot showed off his skills at the agility course to visiting [[Lad Pioneer|Teen Pioneer]] [[Wes]]. {{storylink|Driving a Wedge}} Boulder accompanied the recruits to the planet [[Parvus]] where they rescued the last surviving [[Galax]]. {{storylink|The Big, Small Rescue}}

Hot Shot's assertion he'd do anything to get an entry in the [[Heroes of Cybertron (cards)|Heroes of Cybertron]] cards resulted in Wedge challenging him to a competition. Hot Shot won the construction section, and though Wedge was demoralized by the loss, Hot Shot talked him into continuing with the Cube section, and Wedge managed to win. The two bots decided to keep it as a tie, and Hoist presented them with custom cards. {{storylink|Battle of the Bots}} When an alien rock went missing, suspicion fell on Hot Shot, but it turned out the rock was actually an alien which the recruits then had to round up. {{storylink|About a Rock}} The recruits tried to keep secret the fact a dog had followed them home after the last rescue, only to discover that the dog was actually trying to alert them to the fact they'd missed someone who needed rescuing. {{storylink|Dog Stray Afternoon}}

[[File:FrightAtTheMuesum Hot Shot ATV mode.jpg|thumb|left|280px]]
After Hot Shot lost his confidence, Cody loaned him a lucky [[Rubber Ducky|Rubber Duck]], which gave him the confidence to successfully take part in a rescue. Cody later revealed he'd pickpocketed the duck off Hot Shot before the mission, causing Hot Shot to realize the confidence was inside him all along. {{storylink|Lucky Ducky}} Hot Shot and the other recruits struggled when Whirl tried to get them to learn cheerleading, but the skills they picked up eventually helped them conduct a rescue in Griffin Rock. {{Storylink|Go Team, Go!}} The five recruits swiftly became addicted to smartphones when Boulder assigned them the task of learning about the devices, resulting in them screwing up rescue exercises and their chores. {{Storylink|Screen Time}} During a field trip to the museum in Milford, Hot Shot and the others helped Whirl catch a criminal in the act. {{storylink|Fright at the Museum}}

When the ''Sigma'' returned to base without the teachers, the recruits had to take the ship and go to their rescue, though not without Hot Shot and Wedge fighting over who was temporary captain. {{storylink|Space Case (episode)|Space Case}} During a trash collection exercise, Hot Shot didn't collect much on account of having to chase a squirrel with a shoe. He had the same problem with an under-sea trash collection mission, only this time with a fish. He and the other recruits also had to rescue Medix from a shark. {{storylink|All at Sea}} Hot Shot and the other recruits had to deal with an out-of-control [[Scrub-A-Dubber]] after inserting too many power cells into it. {{storylink|All Washed Up}}

[[File:BalloonUpATree Hot Shot and Whirl up a tree.jpg|thumb|right|340px]]
Hot Shot's attempt at demonstrating a rescue ended with him falling on his face when the students tried their hands at teaching. {{storylink|Who's Teaching Who?}} During a mission to retrieve a balloon from a tree, Hot Shot immediately dove in without a plan and ended up making the situation much much worse, including a brief ride on a rocket and ending with a crane perched on top of a building. {{storylink|Balloon Up A Tree}} A fantasy simulation saw the recruits trying to corral a dragon, until they worked out that the dragon was actually trying to help. {{storylink|The Mystery of Dragon Mountain}} Preferring to play ''[[Invasion of the Giant Hedgehogs]]'' rather than learn, Hot Shot hit on the idea of hacking Chase's car inspection sim to include giant goop-spitting hedgehogs. The other recruits were not impressed, and Hot Shot's attempt to deal with the hedgehogs himself was ineffective, but it did give the others time to come up with a plan to shut the sim down. {{storylink|Hack Attack}}

Hot Shot and the other recruits found their rescues complicated by Medix's attempts to loosen up after they suggested he was a stick in the mud. {{Storylink|Life of the Party}} The recruits were keen to be taught by new teacher [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] but discovered Hoist was afraid of Dinobots. {{storylink|Tyrannosaurus Wrecked}} A trip to [[Wayward Island|Dino Island]] hit a snag when a dinosaur escaped back through the GroundBridge, disabling it in the process so Grimlock and the recruits had to make their own way back to the academy. {{storylink|Dino Hard}} When Chase assigned the recruits a stealth mission, Hot Shot was dismayed to be paired with Grimlock. He ended up ditching his partner, only for it to later turned out that Grimlock was the only one to successfully complete the mission. {{storylink|Buddy Cop}} Another mission saw the recruits having to rescue penguins from an island the hard way after an electrical storm knocked out their tools and even their ability to transform. {{storylink|Escape from Penguin Island}}

[[File:FlyingHunkAJunk Hot Shot trash.jpg|thumb|left|290px]]
During a series of search and rescue missions, Hot Shot and the others were surprised to learn Hoist had cheated on one of the tests. {{storylink|All that Glitters}} A hunt for a downed satellite resulted in the recruits hiding out backstage at [[Dig Fest (event)|Dig Fest]] while trying to signal Wedge. {{storylink|Dig Fest (episode)|Dig Fest}} The recruits took part in [[Halloween]] festivities, however when Hot Shot mistook a person in a wolfman costume for an actual monster, he accidentally started a house fire which the recruits then had to deal with. {{storylink|Trick or Treat}} Medix's confusion over a television commercial meant that the recruits had to mount a hasty coverup so he wouldn't blow their secret to all of Milford. {{storylink|Monster Savings}} Hot Shot and the others got a tune stuck in their heads, impairing their performance on a training exercise. They managed to forget the tune, but this caused problems on a mission to the planet [[Herboo]], as it was the code needed for the [[Virtual Sonic Fence]] Hoist needed to use to stop the [[karknoid beetle]]. {{storylink|Tune Out}}

A trip to survey a geyser field saw the recruits having to deal with a swarm of [[Scraplet]]s. {{storylink|Metal Munchers}} Hot Shot and the other recruits took part in essential maintenance as directed by [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], unlike Wedge who spent the whole time trying to impress his hero, and they were therefore fully functional for the following rescue drill. {{storylink|Bee Prepared}} When Whirl's failed attempts to do a maneuver led her to try to seek out the Wise One, the other recruits went after her and became trapped in a ravine, requiring her to rescue them using the maneuver she had been trying to perfect. {{storylink|Whirl's Wise-Bot Quest}} Hot Shot discovered the easiest way to deal with recycling was to just throw it in the trash, which led to a giant ball of junk threatening the satellite they were trying to fix. {{storylink|Flying Hunk-A-Junk}}

[[File:BestBotsForever1 Hot Shot hovercraft mode.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Hot Shot completely failed to follow Wedge and Medix's instructions while blindfolded, resulting in them failing the trust exercise. A subsequent mission deep undersea forced the recruits to rely on each other as they rescued an automated drone from deep sea wildlife. {{Storylink|Into the Depths}} When Hot Shot got distracted playing with puppies, the dogs ended up running off thanks to Hoist's new comms system alarming them, and the recruits were forced to hunt for them. {{storylink|Milford Goes To The Dogs}} As he only needed another point to get to the top of the leader board, Hot Shot was determined to succeed at the next sim. Though the recruits struggled at first, Hot Shot eventually worked out how to save the simulated humans. {{storylink|The Ice Wave}}

On the eve of the recruits' graduation from year one, Optimus arrived with Hot Shot's old friend [[Scorch (RBA)|Scorch]] who wanted Hot Shot to play as part of Scorch's Cube team, the [[Cyberblazers]]. Though Hot Shot was determined to impress Scorch with the recruits' rescue work, Scorch eventually persuaded him, and after farewelling his friends, Hot Shot returned to Cybertron. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 1}} Despite a rocky start, Hot Shot sold his new teammates on the concept of teamwork prior to the start of the Cube final. They went on to win the championship, but Hot Shot was reminded of his friends on Earth and opted to return there instead of celebrating. He arrived in time to help burst an energon bubble that was threatening the entire planet, and apologized to the other recruits for abandoning them. He and the other recruits took part in their graduation ceremony. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 1}}

[[File:InTraining Hot Shot hose.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
At the start of year two, the recruits returned to the Academy to find they'd been given personal spaces—Heatwave quickly worked out Hot Shot was just going to use his area to play Cube—and were to be put through a series of tests so [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]'s [[Aptitude Analyzer]] could assign them an appropriate mentor. Though Hot Shot was hoping for Optimus, he ended up paired with Heatwave. {{storylink|Back to School}} He and the other recruits got some new training simulations courtesy of Ratchet. {{storylink|Mission Dinobot}}

Apprehensive at working with Heatwave, Hot Shot was taken about when his mentor had him carry out a series of chores. It wasn't until he applied what he'd learned while rescuing some foxes from a forest fire that he realized Heatwave had taught him something after all. {{storylink|In Training}} During a trip to Ratchet's lab on Cybertron, Hot Shot ended up getting blamed when Medix's bat [[Mister Flappy]] caused trouble. Hot Shot pursued the bat into the testing chamber and had to be rescued by Medix. {{Storylink|Medix Steps Up To The Bat}}

[[File:ActingOut Hot Shot as mother.jpg|thumb|right|280px]]
When the recruits thought Cody was unhappy because he wasn't a giant robot like them, they built him a robotic suit which caused chaos during their mission to rescue a rogue bull. Cody later clarified that he was just missing hanging out with the recruits. {{storylink|Robo-Cody}} Heatwave tasked the recruits with acting in the play [[Jack and the Beanstalk]]. Hot Shot tackled the role of Jack's mother with gusto, believing it made him Jack's boss. The play ended in near disaster when the stage almost collapsed. {{storylink|Acting Out}} Hot Shot and the others found Wedge's boredom was interfering with their study time. Wedge later surprised them by being enthusiastic about studying. {{storylink|Need to Know}}

On discovering that Grimlock had a classic Cube, Hot Shot "borrowed" it and had Hoist juice up its AI, only for the cube to become unstoppable and escape the Academy. Hot Shot eventually had to confess to Grimlock what he'd done so the teacher could help them recapture the Cube. {{storylink|Trouble Cubed}} When Heatwave let the recruits pick their favorite rescue to do, Hot Shot immediately picked one involving a broken down submarine and sharks. The disagreement over which simulation to run resulted in the recruits accidentally breaking the control unit and plunging the sim into chaos until they worked together to fix the unit. {{storylink|My Favorite Rescue}}

[[File:FunDroids Hot Shot shoes.jpg|thumb|left|270px]]
After Ratchet got trapped in an ancient sim, the five recruits entered the sim as well. They successfully negotiated their way through a tower full of traps and rescued their teacher, completing the sim and opening the vault to find four Mul-T-Cogs and an ancient artifact. {{storylink|The Vault Of The Primes}} Hot Shot was too busy practicing a fire rescue with Heatwave to help Whirl on her ghost investigation. {{storylink|Wild Ghost Chase}} Following a soil-sampling mission on some dwarf planets, Hot Shot and the others found Medix had replanted the Galax in the academy garden, which it had promptly taken over, forcing them to relocate it to a more suitable home. {{storylink|Little Plot of Horrors}}

Hot Shot attended the opening of the [[Museum of Future Tech Art]]. {{storylink|Museum Mystery}} He joined the other recruits and mentors in rescuing [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]] and [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] from a shrinking [[force field]], though Heatwave mainly had him putting out fires. {{storylink|Partners (RBA)|Partners}} Medix's overly-harsh criticism of the other recruits made them upset at him, however his overcompensation then led them to believe they had mastered a rescue technique when they had not. {{storylink|Critical Condition}} During a visit to [[Mechapark]], Hot Shot got stuck on a malfunctioning ride and had to be rescued by Whirl. {{storylink|Fun Droids}}

[[File:PowerUp Hot Shot combicannon.jpg|thumb|right|280px]]
When the [[Sparksayer]] bestowed Hot Shot with a new combicannon, he wasn't thrilled about the choice and attempted to trade it for Wedge's auger, only to find that the tools would only activate for their intended user. {{storylink|Power Up And Energize}} Cody had the five recruits learn some ballet to improve their poise and balance during rescues. {{storylink|Shall We Dance?}} Encouraged by Heatwave, Hot Shot tried to overcome his Mul-T-Cog's one-per-day limitation, believing it was his ticket to fame. It wasn't until the other recruits tricked him into thinking a sim rescue was real that he succeeded. {{storylink|Mul-T-Change of Pace}} During a camping trip on [[Natura Island]], Hot Shot and the others were transported to a junkyard by the island's security system, necessitating a rescue by Whirl and Chase. Hot Shot insisted on reactivating the [[Scrapmaster]] before they left. {{storylink|Five Little Rescue Bots}}

After accidentally messing up Hoist's museum, Hot Shot immediately wanted to cover it up, but Medix pointed out this course of action would surely end in disaster so Hot Shot cleaned up the mess instead. He later again caused a mess when he was attacked by a diagnostic tool unleashed by Medix, though fortunately Medix confessed and took the blame off Hot Shot. {{storylink|Good Advice}} During a camping trip, Hot Shot was so terrified by Cody's ghost story that he ran into a tree, dislodging his comm transmitter. They returned to the academy, but Hot Shot's transmitter continued to make him hear the sounds of the forest, making him think they'd been followed back by the [[Zombie Ghost Bear]] until they worked out what had happened. They returned to find the transmitter and rescued a bear cub in the process. {{storylink|Campfire Fright}}

[[File:BigWheels Hot Shot fire engine.jpg|thumb|left|260px]]
When it turned out Hot Shot's Mul-T-Cog could activate the four additional Mul-T-Cogs from the vault, he had the great idea to get the other recruits to test them, only to discover that the cogs weren't powered up enough and the other recruits could no longer transform. Though it cost him his own ability to transform, Hot Shot used his cog to fully activate the other four. It later turned out that they in turn could reactivate his Mul-T-Cog with theirs, and he even gained the ability to scan a fourth alternate mode. {{storylink|Small Cogs}} He decided to scan a rocket to give himself more speed, however after he accidentally caused a fire, he realized Heatwave's firetruck mode would be infinitely more useful, and scanned that instead. {{storylink|Big Wheels}}

The recruits' first solo off-world mission took them to a deserted city, where they rescued Scorch and his Cube team from an arena and discovered the whole place was a long-lost [[Titan (group)|Titan]], [[Citadel Secundus]]. {{storylink|The Empty City}} After taking part in Mentor Training Day with Heatwave, Hot Shot teamed up with his mentor again for a "rescue-athon". {{storylink|First Responder}}

Boulder assigned the recruits the task of training Scraplets, resulting in Hot Shot producing an anti-Scraplet device - a wooden box he hid in. The recruits eventually gave up after failing in their task. During a subsequent mission to prevent a power plant from exploding down, it turned out Medix had managed to train the Scraplets after all, saving the day. {{storylink|How To Train Your Scraplet}} Hot Shot took part in a window washing rescue sim, and helped extinguish fires in [[Crook's Canyon]]. {{storylink|Helicopter Heroes}} He and the other recruits were dispatched to [[Australia]] to help [[Brushfire (RB)|Brushfire]] with some [[kangaroo]]s, and ended up fighting fires. {{storylink|Brushfire (episode)|Brushfire}} Hot Shot raced Whirl, resulting in her realizing she wasn't confident enough in her new police car mode. {{storylink|The Ties That Bind (episode)|The Ties That Bind}}

After tripping over a ball during a training exercise, Hot Shot was unaware that Whirl had filmed him and uploaded the video to the Rescue Network. He later found out during a mission to Dino Island, but was happy his video had gone viral. Unfortunately it turned out the Rescue Network wasn't fully online and the video hadn't gone viral after all. {{storylink|Bot Blog}} When the recruits recovered the [[Decepticon]] [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]] from a stricken ship, Hot Shot was adamant that all Decepticons were evil and they shouldn't be helping the 'Con. It was only after Wedge revealed that he had originally been created as a Decepticon that Hot Shot realized he was wrong and helped track down the injured Laserbeak. {{storylink|More Than Meets The Eye (RBA)|More Than Meets The Eye}} Hot Shot took part in a volcano rescue sim. {{storylink|Things That Go Bot In The Night}}

[[File:MedixGetsSchooled Hot Shot leads rescue.jpg|thumb|right|270px]]
During some lessons by Perceptor, Hot Shot was able to use his Cube skills to show how he'd stop a falling satellite. He and the other recruits later had to rescue Medix when their fellow recruit ran into trouble trying to impress the teacher. {{storylink|Medix Gets Schooled}} He and the other recruits experienced jealousy when a group of teens began carrying out rescues in Milford and getting press. {{storylink|Rescue Teens}}

Perceptor sent the recruits to [[Sifrolicous-5]] to discover why the planet changed color, and they found [[mudlubber]]s, who turned out to be exactly suited to the environment. {{storylink|Enter The Flood}} Hot Shot took part in a cow rescue, during which Whirl was injured and had to spend time recovering in a stasis pod. {{storylink|Wizard Of Botz}} When Hot Shot was assigned the task of maintenance on Hero Hall, the other recruits were skeptical of his abilities and Hoist attempted to do the work for him. As a result, Hoist screwed up and allowed creatures to escape the simulation. Though the pair did their best to recover the creatures without anyone knowing, a dragon menacing Milford was a bit much and forced them to come clean to Heatwave. Fortunately Hoist was able to reprogram the dragon into a blimp so they could safely return it to the academy. {{storylink|One Of Our Dragons Is Missing}}

[[File:XMarksTheBot Hot Shot vs Tox-En.jpg|thumb|left|290px]]
Hot Shot and the other recruits were taken on a field trip to a tropical island to study volcanoes, though Hot Shot was disappointed it wasn't a vacation. {{storylink|Dino-mite Duo}} They joined Heatwave in responding to a vague message from Citadel Secundus, only to find the Titan was just in need of some company. {{storylink|The Lonely Titan}} When the recruits were teamed up with geologist [[Finn O'Reilly]], Hot Shot was skeptical that the human would be useful as they followed clues they believed would lead them to treasure. Finn proved himself more than useful and saved Hot Shot from the chest of [[Tox-En]] which they found, so Hot Shot was pals with him from then on. {{storylink|X Marks The Bot}}

Hot Shot attempted to tutor Wedge when he realized his teammate was having trouble getting used to using his speed, but his tutoring style was terrible until Bumblebee gave him some pointers. {{storylink|Making Tracks (RBA)|Making Tracks}} Grimlock's lesson that the recruits needed to be louder gave Hot Shot the idea to create sirens for them all. This worked insofar as Grimlock was happy, but during a mission to the planet [[Krimol]], they found loud noises aggravated the local wildlife. {{Storylink|Don't Be Alarmed}} Heatwave had Hot Shot and the other recruits retrieve toxic barrels from the seabed and rescue Jerry in order to teach them to exercise more restraint in using their power up tools. {{storylink|Powerless}}

[[File:CrashOfTheTitan Hot Shot pilots Secundus.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
After discovering that Medix was into DJ Mechmaster's electronic music, the recruits joined him in rescuing the DJ during a charity concert in Griffin Rock, and even took part in the show masquerading as stage props. {{storylink|Griffin Rock Rocks!}} Learning that Dig Fest had added a "Bot Battle" event, Hot Shot became determined to enter. His hand was forced when his careless words resulted in Chuck entering the event, so he also entered the event in order to protect Chuck. As it turned out, Chuck didn't need protecting and indeed won the event, leading Hot Shot to see him in a whole new light. {{storylink|Bot Battle}}

Following the successful completion of the last test of year two, the recruits were rewarded with a party aboard Citadel Secundus. Hot Shot opted not to go, instead wanting to create a nanobot sculpture to thank Heatwave and the other teachers for not giving up on him. Despite Whirl's help, the sculpture didn't quite turn out like he planned, however the pair found they had a new emergency as Secundus had been hit by an asteroid, knocking out him and everyone on board except Wedge, and was on a crash course for Earth. {{storylink|Space Party}} Being short a few teammates, Hot Shot and Whirl rounded up some of the friends they'd made and with their help, were able to remotely take control of Secundus, landing the Titan safely near the Academy. Following the graduation ceremony, Hot Shot presented the sculpture, reconfigured into a Rescue Bot insignia. {{storylink|Crash Of The Titan}}

===Precursor World===
A [[Primus Vanguard|Warrior of the Seven Lights]] resembling Hot Shot was a member of the [[Blue Order]] of the [[Primus Vanguard]]. He and his comrades followed their commander [[Blue Big Convoy]] into battle when a duel between [[G1 World|dimension-tossed]] future warriors [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Generations Selects Special Comic (1)|Ultra Megatron]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Star Convoy]] threatened the [[Blue Planet (GS)|Blue Planet]] and [[Beast People|its people]]. {{storylink|Super Megatron comic 2}} The battle went sideways when the traitorous [[Straxus (G1)#Precursor World|Straxus twins]] unleashed a rage virus to destroy the corps from within, and the Warrior was attacked by a [[Brainstorm (G1)#Precursor World|winged comrade]] in the ensuing free-for-all. {{storylink|God Neptune comic 1}}

Slain in the brawl, the Warrior was memorialized with a hologram in the inner sanctum of the [[Ivory Towers]] by [[Magna Convoy]]. {{storylink|Cybertron Magna Convoy prequel comic}}

: Part of the third wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise (2012)|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Hot Shot is a [[redeco]] and new-head [[retool]] of the ''Prime: Robots in Disguise'' [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#Prime|Bumblebee]] mold. He transforms into an [[Urbana 500]] sports car with a blue color scheme [[homage|homaging]] ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Hot Shot (Armada)#Cybertron cartoon|Hot Shot]] and flames homaging [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Hot Shot (RID)|Hot Shot]]. He comes with two snap-on blasters which can [[5 mm post|mount]] on his engine block, arms, and hands, and can combine to form a larger quad-barreled cannon. The front section features an [[Automorph Technology|automorph]] gimmick, with the shoulders geared together with the head and the top of the hood folding up into Hot Shot's chest when pushed into place. His new head, modeled after ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' [[Hot Shot (Armada)#Armada cartoon|Hot Shot]] and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Hot Shot (Animated)|Hot Shot]], features a flip-down visor/goggles.

: Care should be taken with his roof, doors, and visor, as they're made entirely of translucent blue plastic.

[[File:RBA OffRoad Rescue Hot Shot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Adorable ballerina toes.]]
*'''Off-Road Rescue Hot Shot''' ([[2018]])

:Hot Shot is functionally a significantly scaled up version of Bumblebee's rock-crawler toy from the "[[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#Rescue Pack|Rock Rescue Team]]". Transforming into an ATV and with elements based on his ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (cartoon)|Rescue Bots Academy]]'' design, Off-Road Rescue Hot Shot is a 10-inch tall toy that transforms from a robot to a red 4WD rescue truck with an “Easy 2 Do” conversion. Hot Shot features a button on his chest that activates lights and sounds, including a light up chest and eyes and a flashing lightbar. When opening the roof of the vehicle to form his arms, the classic transformation sound plays. He also features lines recorded by his in-show voice actor Pierce Cravens.

[[File:RBA-Rescan-Hot-Shot-VTOL-jet.jpg|thumb||upright=1.67|I go [[Megatron (Animated)#Toys|''which'' way]]?]]
*'''Hot Shot''' (2018)

:This version of Hot Shot is an extensive retool of the [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#RescanJet|Rescan VTOL jet version of Bumblebee]], with everything but his forearms being significantly modified. Hot Shot now transforms into a jet or plane, with his signature chest harness now forming the front of the plane. A blue windowed cockpit sits near the rear wings. As with the original version of this figure, Hot Shot has arm articulation that has nothing to do with this transformation scheme.

:The original version was also differently retooled into the [[Blades (RB)#RescanVTOL|Rescan series VTOL version of Blades]] which, oddly enough, was later redecoed and given a new head for his teammate [[Whirl (RBA)#AcadRescTeam|Whirl in the "Academy Rescue Team" box-set]], and further retooled into the jet version of [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]].

First previewed at Toy Fair 2019,<ref name="RBToyFair2019" /> he is retooled similarly to his larger counterpart, with a new head and new chest harness detail, but lacks the light and sound gimmicks and has a slightly different deco layout. He comes in a set of four, similar to the previous "[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)#Rescan Series|Griffin Rock Rescue Team]]", with [[Whirl (RBA)#AcadRescTeam|Whirl]] (retool of VTOL jet version of Blades), [[Wedge (RBA)#AcadRescTeam|Wedge]] (retool of cement mixer Salvage) and [[Hoist (RB)#AcadRescTeam|Hoist]] (retool of ''Rescan'' Hoist).

: Part of ''Rescue Bots Academy'' Rescan Wave 5, this Hot Shot transforms into a car described as an "F1 racecar". His engineering and transformation pattern are familiar from frequently previous use throughout both ''Rescue Bots'' and ''Rescue Bots Academy'', originating with [[Blurr (Prime)#Rescue Bots|Blurr]] and subsequently used by [[MorBot#Rescan Series|MorBot]], the racecar versions of [[Heatwave (RB)#RescanRaceCar|Heatwave]] and [[Whirl (RBA)#Racecar|Whirl]], and the [[Chase (RB)#RBAdragster|dragster version of Chase]].

:A large 14-inch tall version of Hot Shot, this version converts into a large fire truck in a few simple steps. Included with the toys is a large ladder/ water cannon assembly that also features lights and sounds. The ladder assembly can be mounted on the bed of the truck mode, or on the robot mode's back.

*'''Hot Shot''' (20??)

:Hot Shot was the fifth and final recruit to receive an 11-inch tall show-accurate figure with an "Easy 2 Do Conversion". Pressing a switch on his left arm causes a water cannon to flip down, with a jet of water springing out. Otherwise he is functionally similar to previous toys.

==Notes==
* Hot Shot's ''Prime'' toy is a smorgasbord of homages, featuring elements from ''every other'' incarnation of Hot Shot. By contrast, his ''Rescue Bots Academy'' design is near-exclusively based on [[Hot Shot (Armada)|''Armada'' Hot Shot]], but with a red ATV mode instead of a yellow car (presumably to distinguish him further from [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]). Early concept art also showed his vehicle mode was more akin to a 4x4 offroad jeep compared to the buggy-like alt mode of the final design.
* As the ''Prime'' Hot Shot toy is an existing mold altered to make a new character, so is his [[package art|card art]]; it's a stock promotional render of Bumblebee with new colors and a slightly altered head.
* If the recruits were to have an official age order, [[Pete Slattery]] would write Hot Shot to be right in the middle <ref>{{citesocial|quote=Okay, a few questions! The Bots are mid teens if they were human-like. Say 14 in year 1,15 year 2.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)#Toys|War for Cybertron]]'' Cybertronian Bumblebee transforms into a "Cybertronian courier mode". In robot mode, his gauntlets each have a wrist-mounted flip-out blade. His handgun is held via [[5 mm post]], and can be stored inside his rear bumper in either robot or vehicle mode. Bumblebee's head appears to have [[light-piping]], but his eyes are painted over in blue, thus rendering the gimmick neutered. His legs are generally loose at the mid-thigh joint due to being used for transformation.

: He and Cybertronian [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Generations|Optimus Prime]] shipped ahead of their two other wavemates in the United States via [[Toys"R"Us]].

: This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#United|Bumblebee Cybertron Mode]], as well as [[retool]]ed into ''Generations/War for Cybertron'' [[Cliffjumper (WFC)#Generations|Cliffjumper]] and ''United'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#United|Cliffjumper Cybertron Mode]]. In fact, Bumblebee's instructions depict him with Cliffjumper's head, revealing the retool before it was officially announced. This mold also inspired the "Damus" body for [[IDW Publishing|IDW comic]] character [[Tarn (G1)|Tarn]].

He sports various 3mm ports in the same places the original Legion Class toy did.

: He comes with the "[[Eagleshot Bow]]", a crossbow which has two 3mm ports and three posts, allowing it to mount/be mounted in different ways.

: The only new product from the second wave of ''Prime: Beast Hunters Cyberverse'' Vehicle playsets, the [[Energon Driller]] (a redeco of the Series 2 Driller stripped of its electronics) comes with a redeco of Legion Class Series 3 Bumblebee, who features an ever-so-slightly darker shade of yellow plastic, black instead of charcoal wheels and hip and shoulder joints, dark metallic blue instead of black paint details for his front bumper, windscreen, shins and forearms/vehicle mode doors, black instead of silver paint operations for the face and the double-barreled blaster on the hood, and less saturated blue paint operations for the eyes.

: He comes with blue redecos of the Series 2 Driller's prod and saw accessories, which were originally meant for [[Knock Out (Prime)#Cyberverse|Knock Out]], as well as the Eagleshot Bow. The Energon Booster (originally part of the Series 2 Vehicles' light-up gimmick) is also included as a separate piece no longer connected to the Driller by a power cable, and can also be used by Bumblebee as a hand-held weapon.

: The Bumblebee Energon Driller was notoriously absent from US retail for many months after being available from online retailers, and even appearing at retail in Hasbro's Asian and eventually European markets. It wasn't until much later that it finally became available through discount stores such as Ross, although there have also been sightings at [[Toys"R"Us]] Express, Hastings, and Tuesday Morning stores.

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise (2012)|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' Deluxe Class toys, this Bumblebee is an entirely new mold, and features a much simpler transformation (and slightly decreased posability), including a "dramatic head reveal": the entire car mode front section are geared together, so when the robot mode shoulders are pulled out, the hood opens up to flip out Bumblebee's head and expand his chest. Two blaster-weapons are now included, which use [[5 mm post|5mm posts and holes]] to mount on his forearms, engine block, or be used as hand-held weapons. They can also combine to form a larger quad-barreled cannon. While the [[instructions]] are rather vague about it, his folded-up roof actually features a tab that's meant to peg into a slot behind his pelvis, securing his roof somewhat in robot mode. This version of the toy was later retooled into [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]].

:In wave six of the "Robots in Disguise" toyline, Bumblebee was put into new packaging, which came with a DVD featuring the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'' episode "[[Loose Cannons]]".

:The [[TakaraTomy]] version of Bumblebee, part of the first wave of ''Prime'' toys, is considerably different. His roof and doors have been retooled to include 5mm-hole mounting points, which are meant to be used with the new [[Arms Micron]] system. As such, he does not come with the Hasbro version's blasters, instead, he comes with the Arms Micron [[B.B.]], who transforms into an oversized version of Bumblebee's wrist-mounted blasters. His [[paint operation]]s have also been pretty heavily decreased; his doors, roof, and rear window-frame have stripe-less solid-yellow paint to cover the clear plastic, leaving his engine block, grill-parts and face the only "detail-painted" parts on the toy. Most of his detailing, like his car mode striping, is provided by a separate sheet of customer-applied foil [[sticker]]s. (This actually allows for more [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] stripes than the painted Hasbro version.) Unfortunately, he suffers from a particularly horrid case of sticker placement: The [[instructions]] tell you to place stickers between his front wheels and doors to continue his stripe patterns, but due to how the doors are jointed, there is not enough clearance near them to accommodate these stickers, and opening the doors will ''destroy'' the stickers.

:Part of the first wave of ''Prime: Robots in Disguise'' Weaponizer Class toys, Bumblebee is a large, roughly Leader-sized mold with a simplified [[Transformation|transformation scheme]], more accurate proportions, and a grand total of ''four'' [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake wheel]]s on his person due to said transformation. He comes with a double-barreled blaster pistol which can mount onto his hands, forearms, and trunk.

:His ''main'' gimmicks, however, are the two large mini-guns hidden in his hood-chest, which can deploy and "weaponize" either mode. When his robot head/engine block is pressed down, the mini-guns swing out from his hood-chest and spin, while a red LED inside his torso lights up briefly. Pushing on the gray lever/the center front fender portion (both on his chest) briefly lights up the LED again and swings the mini-guns back into his body.

:His [[stock photography]] (& his commercial appearance) gives him a [[:File:Transformers-Prime-Weaponizers-Bumblebee.jpg|''completely'' different vehicle deco]] compared to the final product, with the final toy having fewer [[paint operation]]s overall. The final product lacks the stripe patterns between the front wheels and doors due to that patch being made of [[unpaintable plastic]], shrinks the stripes on the hood, tapers the door stripes towards the front and extends it towards the rear wheels, rearranges the stripes on the trunk, roof, and behind the engine block, shrinks the Autobot symbol on the roof, and moves said symbol to the front of the hood. The hood stripes, in particular, have been ''significantly'' shrunk into what are essentially ''pinstripes''.

:A [[Variant#Running changes|running change variant]] of this figure features much thicker stripes on his hood-chest.

{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

:Part of the first wave of 2014 ''Prime: Beast Hunters'' Deluxe Class toys, Bumblebee is an enlarged <s>knockoff</s> copy of his ''Beast Hunters Cyberverse'' toy, though with minor detail differences to be more accurate as a Deluxe and the replacement of ball joints with more robust universal joints. As such, his parts count, complexity and articulation are all significantly lower than in previous Deluxes.

:Due to being released after the [[Christmas]] season and [[tail-ender|before the launching]] of the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|''Age of Extinction'' toy line]], Bumblebee and the other figures of his [[wave]] were ultimately only available in Europe and Hong Kong, in [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]] in both instances (an unusual occurrence for Hong Kong).

: The "[[Stealth Bumblebee]]" set comes with a predominantly-black version of Bumblebee that rebuilds into a sports car capable of carrying a single Kreon. His right arm ends in a rotating barrel, simulating a built-in blaster-arm.

: The accompanying Bumblebee Kreon is based on the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'' version of the character. He lacks a right hand, instead having a clear-blue cylinder that slips over the cuff, simulating an arm-blaster. He uses the [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Ironhide]] helmet and the [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Prowl]] door-wing backpack. Like most of the 2012 sets, Bumblebee comes with his own extra clear "Energon" torso piece.

He carries an [[Andorian]] blaster pistol from the ''Kre-O [[Star Trek]]'' line. He uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes them incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons.

: His massive vehicle, based on the character's vehicle mode, features a pop-up launcher in its trunk section, which fires plastic rings via pressure-launch. There is ''just'' enough space behind the windshield to seat a Kreon, though their noggin will stick out just a bit through a hole in the roof. The set also comes with a "[[Stasis pod#Aligned continuity family|stasis cell]]", used to imprison Kreons and kept shut with a rubber band.

He also has a clip-on cannon, a sniper rifle, a blaster pistol, and a chromed axe.

:"Mini-Con Combiner"' Bumblebee comes with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville''-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

: The torso-Kreon and one Mini-Con are based on versions of Generation 1 Bumblebee: [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'']] (with an arm-cannon instead of a hand-held blaster, oddly) and [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Deluxe|"Thrilling 30" Bumblebee]] (Prowl helmet) respectively. The remaining three Mini-Con Bumblebees are based on [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned" Bumblebee]] bodies: ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Transformers: War for Cybertron (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|War for Cybertron]]'' (Bumblebee helmet), ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Prime cartoon|Prime]]'' (Ratchet helmet), and ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Rescue Bots cartoon|Rescue Bots]]'' (Jazz helmet).

For [[Hasbro]] releases, it temporarily unlocks that toy as a playable character in the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game]], and can only be scanned once per day. [[TakaraTomy]] releases simply check that off on their mobile app's collection list. It's honestly quicker and less redundant to say which toys '''don't''' have this feature. Meanwhile, scanning the ''Combiner Force'' toys' insignia stickers gives the player Tickets, which can be spent by giving them to [[Cryostase]] via the main map menu. }}

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Bumblebee''' (Legion Class, 2015-2017)}}</ul>

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' Legion figures, Bumblebee transforms into a (fictional) Griffin Motors 1995 Windblazer. In [[robot mode]], his fists & shoulders are compatible with 3mm-peg weapons, although he does not come with any himself. Unlike some of the figures below, this Bumblebee does not feature a faux front car chest window. His scannable Autobot insignia is on his driver-side door in vehicle mode, becoming his right arm in robot mode. This badge is accessible while he is still in-package.

:[[File:RID Legion Bumblebee Packaging Comparison.jpg|thumb|upright=1|left|Almost as persistent as the ''Generation 1'' figure.]]

: The initial release's instructions had two errors: Bumblebee's head needs to flip forward when transforming into vehicle mode, but this will make his vehicle mode slightly bumped up from the back (this can be remedied by flipping his head underneath). The instructions also tell you to flip his right hand up instead on his vehicle bonnet/body piece. Later releases fixes the issues. ''Probably'' due to tolerance issues or a design flaw, The right side of Bumblebee's alternate mode rear section has a slight gap if not properly transformed.

: Despite being succeeded by the "Night Ops" redeco in wave 4, the original yellow and black deco of the figure made a comeback in subsequent waves, in two different packaging [[variant]]s as part of the "Mini-Con Weaponizers" (2016) and "Combiner Force" (2017) [[subline imprint]]s. While the "Weaponizers" version has only ever been found at retail in United States, the "Combiner Force" version saw a more widespread international release again.

His scannable badge is on his vehicle mode's roof.

His scannable sticker is also altered, but scanning the badge only unlocks Energon currency, but not the character.

:Like the Legion Class figure and one of the One-Step Changer figures, despite being succeeded by the "Night Ops" redeco in wave 4 and the "Night Strike" redeco in wave 5, the original yellow and black deco of the figure was also re-released in subsequent waves, in two different packaging variants as part of the "Mini-Con Weaponizers" and "Combiner Force" subline imprints, both of them released in 2017.

:The TakaraTomy version features extensive paint details for the figure, and features a different scannable Autobot insignia on his robot mode chest. Scanning this with the ''Transformers Chronicle'' mobile app unlocks the toy to the app's collection list.

*'''Sideswipe & Bumblebee''' (Crash Combiner, 2017)

:Part of the first wave of the ''Combiner Force'' [[Crash Combiner]]s subline, Bumblebee is a roughly Scout-class sized figure that changes from his futuristic car with a Combiner chest that doubles as his spoiler into a robot in three extremely simple steps. His individual robot mode only has limited articulation on his shoulders. He also has a little green arrow above the connector on the vehicle back indicating where to crash him to combine with other figures. A [[5 mm post|5mm post]] hole on top of his vehicle mode can accommodate a compatible accessory or Weaponizer Minicon, though he cannot use it in his individual robot mode.

:Bumblebee comes packaged with Sideswipe and is intended to combine with him to form [[Beeside]]'s upper torso. Connecting them to each other will activate Bumblebee's automatic transformation, but Sideswipe must be converted manually. He can also combine with any other Crash Combiner figure to form a random Combiner. Due to how the pieces are molded, Beeside can flip out Bumblebee's arms as a <s>switchblade</s> longer sub-arm.

:Unlike the CG photos, his combiner head is missing the black paint applications.

====Activator Combiners====
[[File:TF-RID2015-Activator-Combiners-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Stuntwing / Bumblebee''' (Activator Combiner, 2017)

:Released as part of the first wave of ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Activator Combiners|Activator Combiners]], this Bumblebee is a Deluxe-sized mold that converts from robot into a vehicle in just 4 steps, with his robot arms the only poseable part. Plugging an Activator Mini-Con, such as his pack-in partner [[Stuntwing]], onto his roof activates "Throttle Up" mode, popping out the side doors/cabins to reveal some mechanical details and teal streaks on it's rear section.

====Team Combiners====
{{anchor|TeamCombiner}}
[[File:TF-RID2015-Team-Combiner-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Ultra Bee''' (Team Combiner, 2017)

:Released as part of the [[Ultra Bee]] set, Bumblebee transforms from [[Brick (term)|unposeable]] robot to vehicle, or into the upper torso of the gestalt. The combiner mode's head is stored inside his torso, deployed with a push of a spring-loaded button. The smaller head automatically flips down on the pop-out gestalt's head after the gimmick is activated. Amusingly, both of Bumblebee's heads can be deployed at the same time by flipping/pushing down ''both'' heads in place before activation. He also features a pseudo-autotransform feature: His combiner pegs flip out while transforming into torso mode (if the wheel panels are flipped open to make way). Due to his nature as an upper torso, he slightly towers Strongarm and Sideswipe.

:Each toy uses the same universal combination joint as the other Team Combiners and the [[Crash Combiner]]s, which can lead to some... ''interesting'' combinations, given that most robots form very specific body parts when combined. Mixing Crash Combiners with Team Combiners leads to some ''especially'' weird results.

:Secondary stock photos of the toy are slightly mistransformed, featuring the combiner head deployed while 'Bee is in his standalone robot mode.

===International Day of Friendship===
[[File:MLP_BFFs_-_Transformers.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]
On [[July 30]], [[2015]], [[Hasbro]] announced that they had made custom pony versions of "best friends" [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] along with {{w|Sesame Street|characters}} {{w|Clueless (film)|from}} {{w|I Love Lucy|other}} {{w|Laverne & Shirley|franchises}} in honor of the International Day of Friendship. Both ponies have the [[Autobot]] [[insignia]] as their cutie marks. These ponies were never released to general retail or as convention exclusives, having been created specifically for this event.

===''Hero Mashers''===
[[File:HM-toy BumblebeeRID.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Gee Beebee, why does your mom let you have ''two'' weapons?]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Action Figure, 2015)
**''Pieces'': '''8'''
**''Accessories'': Twin-blade, Decepticon Hunter spear-mace

: Part of the third wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' basic Action Figures —and the first of the ''Robots in Disguise''-themed product— Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. Unlike most basic ''Hero Mashers'' figures, Bumblebee got two different weapon accessories rather than just one.

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

:The third wave of Hero Mashers was initially skipped in the US, seeing release mostly in European and Australian markets. It later filtered into the US through closeout chains Marshall's and TJ Maxx during the holiday season of 2015.

:Bumblebee is bundled with [[Grimlock (RID 2015)#Platinum Edition|Grimlock]], a redeco of [[Grimlock (RID 2015)#Adventure|''Transformers Adventure Series'' Battle Grimlock]], itself a retool of the ''Generations'' ''Fall of Cybertron'' Voyager Class [[Grimlock (WFC)#Generations|Grimlock]] figure. In the United States, this set was exclusively available via online retailer Entertainment Earth, although it was also stocked by several smaller US-based online retailers who supposedly obtained it as an import from Asia. It was released in Singapore, as a [[Walmart]] exclusive in Canada, and sold at Ripley stores in Chile.

:Track Tower Bumblebee is a huge, chunky figure that converts from a large, wide car into a chunky, wide, and non-poseable robot (with sculpted flat fists and body to compensate his robot mode detail) that makes [[Grandus (G1)|Grandus]] proud. Track Tower Bumblebee also comes with a Flip Racer Hot Shot figure, which allows him to be launched from the nape to... the ramp between the legs.

Bumblebee and other figures in the ''Gamer Edition'' series have removable right arms, which can be swapped out for their blasters to emulate the way characters' arms in-game transformed into their weapons. These accessories can also attach to his vehicle mode.

===Arms Up Modes===
In the Japanese ''Prime'' toyline, Bumblebee has several powered-up modes when given various [[Arms Micron]]s in certain configurations:

*'''Striker Mode''' (ストライカーモード ''Sutoraikā Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.B., C.L., O.P., R.A.
:The Arms Up form shown on Bumblebee's box-back photo. In this form, B.B. is mounted on his left arm, with [[R.A.]] on his right, while [[C.L.]] and [[O.P.]] take positions on Bee's backpack (which has been flipped up to allow the gun-Microns to fire sorta-forward).

*'''Mecha Uchi Ban Ban Mode''' (メチャウチバンバンモード ''Mecha Uchi Ban Ban Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.B., O.P., R.A.
:Roughly translated as "Extreme Firefight Bang Bang Mode", this "Anti-Terrorcon" Mode turns the three Microns into a gun emplacement that isn't actually attached to Bee, just one he stands behind. Introduced in the "[[From the Cybertron Satellite, Transformers Division|Cybertron Satellite]]" segment from "[[Darkness Rising, Part 4|Infiltration Transformation! Battleship Nemesis]]".

*'''Mecha Uchi Kidō Type''' (メチャウチ機動タイプ ''Mecha Uchi Kidō Taipu'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.B., C.L.
: Roughly translated as "Extreme Firefight Agile Type", this other "Anti-Terrorcon" attack mode is... just Bee with B.B. on one arm and C.L. on the other. ''Exciting.'' But it was highlighted and named in the same episode as the Mecha Uchi Ban Ban Mode, so, well, for completism's sake....

*'''Infection Mode''' (インフェックションモード ''Infuekkushon Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.B., Terrorcon Zori
: Terrorcon Bumblebee's Arms Up mode is simply him using [[Zori#Toys|Terrorcon Zori]] in his right hand, and B.B. in his left. Wooo.

*'''Booster Mode''' (ブースターモード ''Būsutā Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.B., B.H., C.L., Gora, Gura, O.P., Zori
: Booster Mode Bumblebee sees him attach [[B.H.]] and C.L. to his shoulders and Zori and [[Gura]] to his back, with Zori forming a kind of scorpion tail terminating in O.P.'s gun mode. He wields a handheld cannon weapon made up of B.B. and [[Gora]]. Introduced in the "Cybertron Satellite" segment from "[[Orion Pax, Part 2|Hopeful Transformation! Aim for Planet Cybertron]]".

Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (toyline)

2024-07-09T02:34:44Z

Creativeking: /* Mini Bot Racers */

{{Nav-RescueBotsAcademy}}
The ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (franchise)|Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy]]'' toyline is released under [[Hasbro]]'s [[Playskool Heroes]] brand, the latest of many ''Transformers'' lines to be aimed at the preschool demographic.

The line, which began in late [[2018]], is of course a sequel to the ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)|Transformers: Rescue Bots]]'' toyline.

==Standard retail toys==
===Rescan===
The smaller Rescan figures are held over from the original ''Rescue Bots'' toyline. Aside from [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]]'s hovercraft and jet forms, the vehicles forms for all the recruits weren't their standard ones, often instead being slightly retooled from older ''Rescue Bots'' toys. The show-accurate designs instead debuted with [[#Featured|larger toys]], that were in a few cases downscaled to Rescan size for various boxed releases. The first few figures debuted as part of the original assortment–VTOL Hot Shot and plow Wedge featured the original packaging with the addition of an ''Academy'' logo—while both Hot Shot and Medix debuted the redesigned packaging that would go on to be used for the new assortment. The new assortment also includes re-released figures from the previous one; for simplicity, this list includes only the new toys.

Whirl was among those selected to be a recruit at the [[Rescue Bot Training Center]] on [[Earth]]. She was first to enthusiastically greet [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] when he arrived. She and the rest of the team subsequently took part in a rescue drill overseen by [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] but were unsuccessful in putting out a house fire thanks to the newcomer. {{storylink|Recruits Part I}} Whirl and [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]] tried unsuccessfully to find Hot Shot when it looked like he'd given up, but he later returned with two new alternate modes. The team went on to successfully carry out a cave rescue exercise. {{storylink|Recruits Part II}} When [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] was summoned to the academy to help Hot Shot perfect his flying, Whirl enthusiastically volunteered to take part as well, and later took part in a rescue in [[Griffin Rock]] during which Hot Shot put the lessons into practice. {{storylink|The Secret of Flight}}

Following a rescue in [[Griffin Rock]], the recruits persuaded Hoist to make new rescue tools for them all. Whirl got new rotors on her arms, and though the initial test went horribly wrong, she and the other recruits enlisted the help of Boulder, and Hoist eventually perfected the tools. {{storylink|If at First...}} After Hot Shot badly damaged [[Tough Luck Chuck]] and was assigned the task of looking after the robot, he tried to foist the duty onto Whirl, who was trying to do some rescue research, only for Chuck to slip past them. They attempted to hunt him down, and eventually pursued him to [[Milford]]. {{storylink|Tough Luck Chuck (episode)|Tough Luck Chuck}} Whirl enthusiastically memorised all of the police codes Chase was teaching the recruits, and as a result, when the other recruits persuaded Chase to let them try a rescue and instead got stuck in the snow, Whirl was able to rescue them. {{storylink|Whirl'd View}} When the recruits didn't understand why Boulder was having them plant flowers, the Rescue Bot set them a task which taught them that all parts of nature are important. {{storylink|Plan Bee}}

[[File:MissionInaudible Whirl copter mode.jpg|thumb|right|300px|"I can hover like a bird. Don't you wish you could hover?"]]
Whirl and the other recruits were bugged when [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]] borrowed the trigger for the rescue alarm and had them constantly running drills to get their response time down. {{storylink|The Bot Who Cried Rescue}} The recruits had to contend with a runaway rock sculpture of Hot Shot's head when he decided to carve it into a mountain alongside the likenesses of the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Mount Botmore}} When Hoist was put in charge of a rescue exercise, Whirl was the only one who actually followed any of his orders, and ended up dangling over a chasm with Hot Shot, Wedge and [[Medix (RB)|Medix]] dangling from her until Hoist successfully rescued them. {{storylink|Mission Inaudible}} After completing a simulated rescue, despite a glitch occurring, the recruits took part in a real rescue in Griffin Rock which was only successful because the glitch gave [[Medix (RB)|Medix]] an idea to complete it safely. {{storylink|Glitch (episode)|Glitch}}

[[File:RescuePromo Whirl filmmaker.jpg|thumb|left|270px|"I think railways are slow. They're not much use, and are quite out of date."]]
After a ride on the ''[[Sigma]]'', the recruits assumed the four command chairs meant one of their number wouldn't graduate. The team went on to botch a volcano rescue drill after staying up all night worrying, until Heatwave told them they'd assumed wrong. {{storylink|Five into Four}} Whirl took over filming a recruitment video for the training center, but all the footage she got was terrible and it wasn't until she told the other recruits that they were able to pitch in and help her make a workable video. {{storylink|Rescue Promo}} After a botched rescue had the recruits blaming each other, Heatwave assigned them to cleaning duties. Hot Shot sneaked out to do a rescue, and as a result, the rest of the recruits had to go help him when he hit trouble. {{storylink|Blame Game}} Whirl and the other recruits set up a surprise rescue mission for Medix, who didn't get the appeal of surprises. Unfortunately the mission did not go well, and the other recruits promised to stop with the surprises. {{storylink|Medix Surprise}}

The recruits got to try out some [[TX3000]]s on loan to the rescue center, and even used them during an actual rescue. {{storylink|The TX3000}} They had to round up a lost flock of sheep, but were hampered by Hoist malfunctioning. {{storylink|Little Bot Peep}} When [[Lad Pioneer|Teen Pioneer]] [[Wes]] visited the base and Wedge was reluctant to spend time with the boy due to low self-confidence, Whirl pointed out that Wedge was Wes's favorite Rescue Bot. {{Storylink|Driving a Wedge}} Boulder accompanied the recruits to the planet [[Parvus]] where they rescued the last surviving [[Galax]]. {{storylink|The Big, Small Rescue}}

[[File:RBA-Fright At The Museum-Shades.jpg|thumb|right|350px|She likes to watch reruns of ''CSI: Miami.'']]
When Hot Shot and Wedge decided to compete over who was qualified to get into the [[Heroes of Cybertron (cards)|Heroes of Cybertron]] card game, Medix and Whirl acted as commentators for the building and Cube challenges they undertook. {{storylink|Battle of the Bots}} After Hot Shot is blamed by his friends for stealing a space rock, Whirl sticks up for him and suggests they find the rock to prove his innocence. Discovering the rock to actually be an alien loose in the academy, Whirl gives chase but winds up temporarily trapped in her locker. {{storylink|About a Rock}} The recruits tried to keep secret the fact a dog had followed them home after the last rescue, only to discover that the dog was actually trying to alert them to the fact they'd missed someone who needed rescuing. {{storylink|Dog Stray Afternoon}} Whirl took part in rescuing [[Dr. Hart]] from a runaway iceberg. {{storylink|Lucky Ducky}}

Inspired by Blades, Whirl took it upon herself to get into cheerleading. Though the other recruits weren't as enthused, they soon discovered that the skills they were learning were helpful during rescues, and began practicing in earnest. {{storylink|Go Team, Go!}} When Boulder assigned the recruits smartphones so they could familiarize themselves with the devices, they began neglecting their lessons and chores, until they realized it was causing problems with their rescues. {{storylink|Screen Time}} During a trip to a museum in Milford, Whirl naturally assumed they'd encounter a heist in progress, and turned out to be right. Her policing skills resulted in her catching a thief in the act, and she was able to ferry him to the Griffin Rock jail. {{storylink|Fright at the Museum}}

[[File:AllAtSea Whirl mermaid.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"My job is to stay at sea in case of other emergencies."]]
When their teachers went missing on a space mission, the recruits worked together to pilot the ''Sigma'' and mount a rescue. {{storylink|Space Case (episode)|Space Case}} Boulder had the recruits cleaning up a park, though as Whirl spent the whole time chasing a rogue plastic bag, she didn't get much trash. The same thing happened during the follow up mission at the bottom of the sea, though Whirl did accidentally make herself look like a mermaid using seaweed. She and the other recruits later had to rescue Medix from a shark. {{storylink|All at Sea}} With the teachers on another off-planet mission, the recruits were left to tidy up the Academy, and had to deal with Hoist's [[Scrub-A-Dubber]] when it went rogue. {{storylink|All Washed Up}}

Heatwave suggested that the bored students try their hands at being teachers for the day. None of the recruits seemed to do well, with Whirl's lecture on transforming boring Heatwave and Cody, but their teachers later put what they'd learned to use during a real rescue. {{storylink|Who's Teaching Who?}} An attempt to rescue a balloon from a tree turned into a major disaster when the recruits went in without a plan. {{storylink|Balloon Up A Tree}} A fantasy simulation saw the recruits trying to corral a dragon, until they worked out that the dragon was actually trying to help, {{storylink|The Mystery of Dragon Mountain}} and yet another sim turned into chaos thanks to Hot Shot combining it with his game, forcing the recruits to deal with giant hedgehogs. {{storylink|Hack Attack}}

Whirl and the other recruits found their rescues complicated by Medix's attempts to loosen up after they suggested he was a stick in the mud. {{storylink|Life of the Party}} Whirl learned that the recruits were getting a new teacher, but was too excited to find out who. It turned out to be [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]]! {{storylink|Tyrannosaurus Wrecked}} Grimlock took Whirl and the others on a field trip to [[Wayward Island|Dino Island]]. After the GroundBridge was damaged, Whirl had to tow Grimlock back to the mainland. {{storylink|Dino Hard}} Assigned a stealth mission by Chase, Whirl and Hoist managed to find Tough Luck Chuck hiding in a barn, but were caught by Chase after Whirl accidentally demolished the structure. {{storylink|Buddy Cop}}

[[File:DigFest Whirl signalling.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
The recruits had to rescue some penguins from an island, and Whirl came up with the idea of building a raft after their ability to transform was disabled by an electrical storm. {{storylink|Escape from Penguin Island}} Whirl was surprised to learn Hoist had cheated during a search and rescue test that led to the recruits taking part in an Old West simulation. {{storylink|All that Glitters}} A hunt for a downed satellite resulted in the recruits hiding out backstage at [[Dig Fest (event)|Dig Fest]] while trying to signal Wedge. {{storylink|Dig Fest (episode)|Dig Fest}} The recruits took part in [[Halloween]] festivities and ended up having to deal with a house fire. {{storylink|Trick or Treat}}

Medix's confusion over a television commercial meant that the recruits had to mount a hasty coverup so he wouldn't blow their secret to all of Milford {{storylink|Monster Savings}} Whirl and the others got a tune stuck in their heads, impairing their performance on a training exercise. They managed to forget the tune, but this caused problems on a mission to the planet [[Herboo]], as it was the code needed for the [[Virtual Sonic Fence]] Hoist needed to use to stop the [[karknoid beetle]]. {{storylink|Tune Out}} A trip to survey a geyser field saw the recruits having to deal with a swarm of [[Scraplet]]s. {{storylink|Metal Munchers}}

[[File:WhirlsWiseBotQuest Whirl rotor blades.jpg|thumb|left|350px]]
Whirl and the other recruits took part in essential maintenance as directed by [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], unlike Wedge who spent the whole time trying to impress his hero, and they were therefore fully functional for the following rescue drill. {{Storylink|Bee Prepared}} After Whirl failed to master a tricky maneuver, Blades told her about a Rescue Bot guru who had once helped him. Whirl set out to find the guru, unaware that Blades had made the story up, and along the way made a series of rescues. The rescues gave her the skills to master the maneuver, which she was later able to use to rescue her fellow recruits. {{storylink|Whirl's Wise-Bot Quest}}

Hot Shot's careless actions in ejecting his junk into space had Whirl and the others following his lead, resulting an a huge junk meteor that threatened the satellite they were trying to repair. {{Storylink|Flying Hunk-A-Junk}} A mission deep undersea forced the recruits to rely on each other as they rescued an automated drone from deep sea wildlife. {{storylink|Into the Depths}} Whirl joined the hunt for some dogs when Hoist's new comms system turned out to annoy animals. {{storylink|Milford Goes To The Dogs}} The recruits struggled to complete a rescue sim until Hot Shot realized they'd been trying to stop the disaster instead of saving the people. {{storylink|The Ice Wave}}

As graduation drew closer, the recruits successful competed against their teachers in a relay race carrying a pretend rescue victim. Whirl and the others were surprised and saddened when Hot Shot opted to abandon his Rescue Bot training and return to Cybertron to compete in the Cube finals. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 1}} The remaining recruits decided to tune in to the final using the [[space bridge]] to boost the holo-emitter screen. Unfortunately this led to the creation of a slowly growing energon bubble which engulfed the academy. It was only when Hot Shot returned that the recruits were able to burst the bubble. The recruits were able to graduate from year one of their learning. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 2}}

[[File:BackToSchool Whirl gets excited.jpg|thumb|right|260px]]
After the recruits returned to the Academy for year two, they were given personal areas—in Whirl's case a wind tunnel—and the news they'd be paired with mentors. Whirl was worried that [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]'s [[Aptitude Analyzer]] wouldn't find her worthy of a mentor, but it ended up pairing her with Chase. {{storylink|Back to School}} She and the other recruits got some new training simulations courtesy of Ratchet. {{Storylink|Mission Dinobot}} Whirl got to work with Chase ticketing jaywalkers. She and the other recruits later rescued some foxes from a tree in a forest fire. {{storylink|In Training}} The recruits went on a trip to Cybertron to visit Ratchet's lab, which ended up being disrupted by Medix's bat [[Mister Flappy]]. {{Storylink|Medix Steps Up To The Bat}}

When the recruits thought Cody was unhappy because he wasn't a giant robot like them, they built him a robotic suit which caused chaos during their mission to rescue a rogue bull. Cody later clarified that he was just missing hanging out with the recruits. {{storylink|Robo-Cody}} Heatwave tasked the recruits with acting in the play [[Jack and the Beanstalk]]. Whirl was assigned the role of Jack. Unfortunately the play ended when the stage almost collapsed, but Whirl stayed in character throughout. {{storylink|Acting Out}} Whirl and the others found Wedge's boredom was interfering with their study time. Wedge later surprised them by being enthusiastic about studying. {{storylink|Need to Know}}

[[File:ActingOut Whirl climbs beanstalk.jpg|thumb|left|290px]]
After Hot Shot and Hoist turned Grimlock's Cube into an unstoppable escaping machine, the other three recruits attempted to help them recapture it but eventually had to call on Grimlock's help. {{storylink|Trouble Cubed}} When Heatwave let the recruits pick their favorite rescue to do, Whirl's was a rain of meteors in a desert, from which they would need to rescue a bunch of animals. The disagreement over which simulation to run resulted in the recruits accidentally breaking the control unit and plunging the sim into chaos until they worked together to fix the unit. {{storylink|My Favorite Rescue}}

After Ratchet got trapped in an ancient sim, the five recruits entered the sim as well. They successfully negotiated their way through a tower full of traps and rescued their teacher, completing the sim and opening the vault to find four Mul-T-Cogs and an ancient artifact. {{storylink|The Vault Of The Primes}} Chase assigned Whirl the task of investigating the [[Charlotte Wayne|Lady of Griffin Rock]], so she enlisted Medix as a sidekick. They ended up locating Wayne's run-down mansion, but all they found inside was a family of opossums which they were able to rescue before the mansion collapsed. {{storylink|Wild Ghost Chase}} Following a soil-sampling mission on some dwarf planets, Whirl and the others found Medix had replanted the Galax in the academy garden, which it had promptly taken over, forcing them to relocate it to a more suitable home. {{storylink|Little Plot of Horrors}}

[[File:WildGhostChase Whirl Polyvisor.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Whirl and Chase were setting up security measures at the [[Museum of Future Tech Art]] when the prize sculpture [[Mano e Nano]] went missing. Though Chase suspected former criminals [[Evan (RB)|Evan]] and [[Myles]], Whirl consulted [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]], who determined that the nanotech statue had simply reverted to a shapeless form. {{storylink|Museum Mystery}} Whirl and Chase also took part in the rescue of Doc Greene and [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] when a force field dome trapped the two humans in the lab. {{storylink|Partners (RBA)|Partners}}

Medix's overly-harsh criticism of the other recruits made them upset at him, however his overcompensation then led them to believe they had mastered a rescue technique when they had not. {{storylink|Critical Condition}} During a visit to [[Mechapark]], Whirl and Medix discovered that everything was malfunctioning, resulting in Whirl having to rescue the other recruits from the rides. {{Storylink|Fun Droids}} The [[Sparksayer]] gifted Whirl with a polyvisor which she put to good use during a volcano rescue. {{storylink|Power Up And Energize}} Cody had the five recruits learn some ballet to improve their poise and balance during rescues. {{storylink|Shall We Dance?}}

[[File:FiveLittleRescueBots Whirl and Chase.jpg|thumb|left|320px]]
Whirl and the others helped Hot Shot overcome his one-alternate-mode-per-day limitation by tricking him into thinking a sim rescue was real. {{storylink|Mul-T-Change of Pace}} Whirl's final exam on deductive reasoning was to take place during a camping trip on [[Natura Island]], and when her fellow recruits started disappearing, she correctly worked out the island's tech defense system was still active and transporting people to a junk yard. She and Chase successfully rescued everyone, only to discover that the actual test Heatwave had devised was to find him in his tree disguise. {{storylink|Five Little Rescue Bots}} After Hot Shot accidentally messed up Hoist's museum, Medix persuaded Whirl to help clean up. A diagnostic tool interfered with Whirl's wind tunnel and caused it to go crazy, which she actually extremely enjoyed. {{storylink|Good Advice}}

After a campout, the recruits noticed Hot Shot was acting oddly and eventually worked out his comm transmitter had fallen out, resulting in them having to go back for it and rescuing a bear cub in the process. {{storylink|Campfire Fright}} Hot Shot persuaded the other recruits to test out the new Mul-T-Cogs from the vault, only for them to discover that the cogs weren't charged enough and they could no longer transform. Hot Shot successfully fully activated them at the cost of his own ability to transform, at least until Whirl and the others found they could return the favor and use their cogs to reactivate his. {{storylink|Small Cogs}} Whirl quickly selected a police car as her new alternate mode, and was particularly pleased with the cupholders. {{storylink|Big Wheels}}

The recruits' first solo off-world mission took them to a deserted city, where they rescued Scorch and his Cube team from an arena and discovered the whole place was a long-lost [[Titan (group)|Titan]], [[Citadel Secundus]]. {{storylink|The Empty City}} After taking part in Mentor Training Day with Chase, Whirl teamed up with her mentor again for a "rescue-athon". {{storylink|First Responder}}

Boulder assigned the recruits the task of training Scraplets, which they attempted unsuccessfully for a while before giving up. During a subsequent mission to prevent a power plant from exploding down, it turned out Medix had managed to train the Scraplets after all, saving the day. {{storylink|How To Train Your Scraplet}} After Medix showed her up during a training sim, Whirl became worried that he was a better helicopter than her. She later realized during a fire fighting mission that he really was inexperienced and helped him to get the hang of his helicopter mode. {{storylink|Helicopter Heroes}}

[[File:RBA TheTiesThatBind towline.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
During a sim mission, Whirl didn't feel confident enough in her own decision making to switch a lever, resulting in the sim being failed. She and the rest of the recruits were dispatched to [[Australia]] to help [[Brushfire (RB)|Brushfire]], and being teamed up with the loner bot helped Whirl learn to be more self reliant, resulting in her rescuing a [[kangaroo]] from the fires they were fighting. {{storylink|Brushfire (episode)|Brushfire}} Whirl continued to have trouble getting used to her police car mode, which caused her trouble when racing with Hot Shot. When she was forced to tow Scorch back to base in car mode, she was at first irritated by his constant chatter, but he helped her get used to her car mode and even put himself in [[stasis lock]] to save her from being crushed by a falling boulder. She airlifted him back to base where Medix was able to revive him, and the two firm friends went racing. {{storylink|The Ties That Bind (episode)|The Ties That Bind}}

[[File:RBA Whirl Bus Push.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]
While the recruits were doing a sim mission where they had to rescue a crashed charter bus, Whirl tried to push the bus but she was too weak and needed help from Wedge. After their training, Whirl uploaded an embarrassing video of Hot Shot to the Rescue Network without consulting him, and later realized she'd made a mistake. She confessed what she'd done to him during a mission to prevent a sandstone butte from falling on a tree, but fortunately he liked that the video had gone viral. {{storylink|Bot Blog}} She, Medix and Heatwave were subjected to [[H.B. Luskey|Mayor Luskey]]'s comedy routine when the ice blocks needed for an ice sculpture contest failed to show up on time. Fortunately for all present, Whirl hit on the idea of using other materials to sculpt. {{storylink|The Icebot Cometh}}

After the recruits rescued the [[Decepticon]] [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]] from a stricken spaceship, Whirl and the others learned that Wedge had originally been created as a Decepticon, and helped him track down the injured Laserbeak. {{storylink|More Than Meets The Eye (RBA)|More Than Meets The Eye}} Whirl helped Hoist carry out an investigation into who had trashed the lab, with the pair coming to the erroneous conclusion that Sludge and Snarl were the culprits. {{storylink|Things That Go Bot In The Night}} Whirl and the others participated in a series of physics-related exercises set by Perceptor, and later had to rescue Medix when their fellow recruit ran into trouble trying to impress the teacher. {{Storylink|Medix Gets Schooled}} She and the other recruits experienced jealousy when a group of teens began carrying out rescues in Milford and getting press. {{storylink|Rescue Teens}}

[[File:TheTracker Whirl resets trap.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Perceptor sent the recruits to [[Sifrolicous-5]] to discover why the planet changed color, and they found [[mudlubber]]s, who turned out to be exactly suited to the environment. {{storylink|Enter The Flood}} Worried about spoiling her perfect score, Whirl avoided meeting with Optimus for her review. She was knocked out during a rescue and experienced a ''Wizard of Oz'' inspired dream which gave her the courage to meet with Optimus and discover she aced her review again anyway. {{Storylink|Wizard Of Botz}} When Chase sent Whirl to the [[Amazon]] to hunt for [[Huxley Prescott]], she teamed up with the Dinobot [[Slash (RBA)|Slash]]. Though Slash was not keen on having company, Whirl rescued her and Prescott from an ancient trap and she conceded company might be a good thing. {{storylink|The Tracker}} Heatwave assigned Whirl the task of checking the wind turbine, as part of doing maintenance on the academy. She and the others later had to cover up a holographic dragon when Hot Shot and Hoist let it escape Hero Hall and menace Milford. {{storylink|One Of Our Dragons Is Missing}}

[[File:DontBeAlarmed Whirl dashboard.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]
Whirl and the other recruits were taken on a field trip by Perceptor to a tropical island to study volcanoes. {{storylink|Dino-mite Duo}} They joined Heatwave in responding to a vague message from Citadel Secundus, only to find the Titan was just in need of some company. {{storylink|The Lonely Titan}} The recruits teamed up with [[Finn O'Reilly]] to follow the clues on a [[Holokey]]. They expected treasure, but instead found a hidden cache of [[Tox-En]]. {{Storylink|X Marks The Bot}} Whirl, Hoist, and Medix helped Hot Shot modify the racing track so they could help Wedge get used to moving at speed. {{storylink|Making Tracks (RBA)|Making Tracks}} During a mission to the planet [[Krimol]], Whirl realized the loud sirens the other recruits had made themselves were aggravating the life forms. Unfortunately her warnings came too late and she had to rescue the others from annoyed tentacles so they could rescue Hoist from a crevasse. {{Storylink|Don't Be Alarmed}} Heatwave had Whirl and the other recruits retrieve toxic barrels from the seabed and rescue Jerry in order to teach them to exercise more restraint in using their power up tools. {{Storylink|Powerless}}

[[File:CrashOfTheTitan Hot Shot pilots Secundus.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
After discovering that Medix was into DJ Mechmaster's electronic music, the recruits joined him in rescuing the DJ during a charity concert in Griffin Rock, and even took part in the show masquerading as stage props. {{storylink|Griffin Rock Rocks!}} Whirl and the other recruits watched from the Academy as Chuck and Hot Shot entered the Bot Battle event at Dig Fest. {{storylink|Bot Battle}}

Following the successful completion of the last test of year two, the recruits were rewarded with a party aboard Citadel Secundus. When Hot Shot opted not to go in favor of building a nanobot sculpture to thank the teachers, Whirl also stayed back to help. The sculpture didn't turn out as planned, however the pair found they had a new emergency as Secundus had been hit by an asteroid, knocking out him and everyone on board except Wedge, and was on a crash course for Earth. {{storylink|Space Party}} Being short a few teammates, Whirl and Hot Shot rounded up some of the friends they'd made and with their help, were able to remotely take control of Secundus, landing the Titan safely near the Academy. Afterwards, the recruits finally got to have their graduation ceremony. {{storylink|Crash Of The Titan}}

*'''Whirl the Flight-Bot''' (2019)

: Whirl's first toy is sized similarly to the previous Megabots line, at about 11 inches tall, transforming into a helicopter in a couple of "Easy 2 Do Conversion" steps. In either bot or vehicle mode, pressing a button on her rotor causes it to spin. She comes packaged in robot mode, and helpfully, a cutout in the package allows this gimmick to be tried in-store without removing her from the package. Her engineering and transformation pattern are based on the [[Blades (RB)#RescanCopter|Rescan helicopter version of Blades]].

Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (toyline)

2024-07-09T02:25:47Z

Creativeking: /* Mini Bot Racers */

{{Nav-RescueBotsAcademy}}
The ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (franchise)|Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy]]'' toyline is released under [[Hasbro]]'s [[Playskool Heroes]] brand, the latest of many ''Transformers'' lines to be aimed at the preschool demographic.

The line, which began in late [[2018]], is of course a sequel to the ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)|Transformers: Rescue Bots]]'' toyline.

==Standard retail toys==
===Rescan===
The smaller Rescan figures are held over from the original ''Rescue Bots'' toyline. Aside from [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]]'s hovercraft and jet forms, the vehicles forms for all the recruits weren't their standard ones, often instead being slightly retooled from older ''Rescue Bots'' toys. The show-accurate designs instead debuted with [[#Featured|larger toys]], that were in a few cases downscaled to Rescan size for various boxed releases. The first few figures debuted as part of the original assortment–VTOL Hot Shot and plow Wedge featured the original packaging with the addition of an ''Academy'' logo—while both Hot Shot and Medix debuted the redesigned packaging that would go on to be used for the new assortment. The new assortment also includes re-released figures from the previous one; for simplicity, this list includes only the new toys.

*'''Cybertronian Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Blaster rifle
{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro), [[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Based on his appearance in ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'', ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Optimus Prime transforms from a red, blue, and silver robot into an "armored truck mode." He comes with a hand-held rifle that is held via either of its two [[5 mm post]]s, and can fold up to store in either mode. He features additional 5mm ports on his forearms, roof, and front-wheel panels. Optimus has a stylized sculpted Autobot insignia on his back, as seen in the game, but it is obscured by [[kibble]].

: An undocumented transformation step includes flipping Optimus Prime's knees out in vehicle mode to form a back bumper with tail lights. Oddly, the toy itself and the [[package art]] show Optimus Prime with four fingers on each hand, while he has 5 fingers in the video game. The vehicle mode pictured on the stock photos is minimally mis-transformed: The exhaust pipes have not been rotated to hide the indentations against the vehicle body. The instructions show the rifle being plugged in by its shorter peg, but the packaging depicts the rifle stored by its grip, which keeps the weapon higher off Prime's body, but is also more secure.

:Optimus Prime is part of the first wave of ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, but he and Cybertronian [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#Generations|Bumblebee]] shipped ahead of their two other wavemates via [[Toys"R"Us]].

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#United|Optimus Prime Cybertron Mode]], [[Darkside Optimus Prime (United)|Darkside Optimus Prime]], and ''[[Transformers Tribute|Tribute]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Tribute|Optimus Prime]]''.

**''Series/Number:'' '''01 / #001'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[2012]]-[[December 28|12-28]]'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TG01'''
**''Accessories'': "Ion cannon"

: Part of the first wave of [[2012]] ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, Optimus Prime is based on his ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' design, and transforms from a robot to a Cybertronian truck and back. His ion cannon, based on a weapon seen in his concept art, can mount via either of its two 5 mm posts onto ports on his hands, forearms, back, and shoulder smokestacks. The toy is known for being oddly small for an Optimus Prime toy, especially when compared to other toys from the same line. This allows him to be more or less in scale with [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] and [[Bruticus (WFC)|Bruticus]] (likewise from the same line), however. Optimus features sculpted fake wheels on his back.

:The [[TakaraTomy]] version, part of the first wave of Japanese ''Generations'' toys, is noticeably shinier, casting his red and blue plastics in different, metallic shades, having much darker gray and black plastics, coating much of his red plastic in glossy metallic paint, and featuring numerous additional [[Paint operation|paint highlights]], among other deco changes.

:This mold was [[retool]]ed into ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)#Generations|Ultra Magnus]], and was [[redeco]]ed into [[Optimus Prime (KOU)|''Knights of Unicron'' Optimus Prime]].

*'''Matrix of Leadership SDCC Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' Gun, magnet, dignity-removing wearable Matrix packaging

: ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#First Edition (2011)|Prime: First Edition]]'' Matrix of Leadership Optimus Prime converts from [[robot mode]] to his [[alternate mode|truck mode]]. He comes with a gun than he can wield with his hands, as well as peg onto his hitch in vehicle mode, with different pegs for either configuration. Similar to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|a previous Optimus Prime toy]], he features some [[Kibble#.22Faux-parts.22|faux-kibble]] in the form of his actual windshield chest being covered by sculpted panels featuring his characteristic windshield-chest. His arms are slightly longer than his original design's arms.

:This figure is an [[exclusive]] to [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011. The toy comes in a packaging shaped like the [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Prime|Matrix of Leadership]], which one could wear around their neck, preferably at the convention itself, so passers-by can exclaim "WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT?" and then try to get one themselves. The Matrix itself comes packaged in a [[Packaging|box]] that is designed to look like Optimus Prime's chest, and opens accordingly. The chest window doors are sealed with a round magnet.

[[File:PrimeFEtoy-SDCCpackaging.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Step 1: Put Optimus Prime toy inside a wearable Matrix. Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit!]]

: The toy itself is an early release of the Deluxe Class Optimus Prime toy from the later "Entertainment Pack" set (see below).

*'''Optimus Prime vs Megatron: A Rivalry Reborn''' (Entertainment Pack, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' Gun
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro)}}

: Entertainment Pack Optimus Prime is a slight redeco of the SDCC figure, with some deco differences between the SDCC release; this version has blue on the faux windows instead of gray and some of the added silver deco on the roof/feet, as well as the yellow paint on his lights. His midriff is also darker. Optimus also comes with a similarly-scaled [[Megatron (WFC)/toys#EntertainmentPack|Megatron]] and PVC figurines of [[Jack Darby#EntertainmentPack|Jack Darby]], [[Miko Nakadai#EntertainmentPack|Miko Nakadai]], and [[Raf Esquivel#EntertainmentPack|Raf Esquivel]].

: Initial distribution of this set was... spotty at best, with most of the stock going to Canada. However, [[Toys"R"Us]] picked up this set, along with most of the "First Edition" line, as part of a ''huge'' block of US market [[exclusive]]s for holiday season 2012.

[[File:TF-Prime-First-Edition-Voyager-Optimus-Prime-(Second-Run).jpg|left|upright=1|thumb|''(Second run pictured)'']]
: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: First Edition'' Voyager-Class toys, Optimus Prime transforms into a truck, with a similar (but more complex) transformation to his previous Deluxe-Class toy, and features a faux-kibble window-chest panel as well as a detailed truck cab interior. He comes with a "Cybertronian battle sword" and a "plasma cannon", either of which can peg into his hands. The cannon also features a 5mm peg-hole on the underside of its barrel, allowing the sword (or any other compatible accessory) to mount there as a bayonet. They are stored in vehicle mode by pegging them onto either the 5mm-compatible trailer hitch or onto each peg-hole beside it, although the [[instructions]] tell [[you]] to peg the sword facing forwards onto the hitch, with the cannon mounting backwards onto one of the side pegs. His trailer hitch ends up on his right robot leg, and he has a fake, sculpted, equally-usable trailer hitch on his left leg. He features a cardboard stand as with all "First Edition" toys, but the weak adhesive used for its flaps means it often has trouble supporting the weight of a Voyager class figure for an extended amount of time, the top caving in as the glue gives way. As Optimus only comes with one plasma cannon and the battle sword, one can buy an extra copy for another.

: He is minimally mistransformed in-package and in the [[Stock photography|stock photo]], as his shoulder guards aren't flipped open. His stock photography also shows his plasma cannon as being solid black, when the final cannon is black speckled with silver paint, with slightly more painted silver details on the tips of the barrels.

:The Japanese release of this figure features slightly different colors for greater [[show-accuracy]], including darker reds and blues, and a more metallic silver plastic.

:Optimus Prime also had a slight assembly problem between the head and the neck's ball joint, which causes it to pop off with some movement. This can be fixed by unscrewing the head halves, then properly snap it back before reattaching. This fix also adds some additional head articulation. Though the instructions tell you to rotate the hands while transforming into vehicle mode, this may result in a very slight gap on the front hood panels. Leaving the hands untransformed can thoroughly shut the gaps.

: The First Edition Voyagers were never released in the US, forcing buyers to import him from Canada or Japan... at first. [[Toys"R"Us]] later picked up this toy, along with most of the "First Edition" line, as part of a ''huge'' block of US market [[exclusive]]s for holiday season 2012. This second run introduced a [[Variant#Colors and deco|deco variant]], in which the red paint on, beside, and below the truck side windows is omitted, revealing the patch of brown plastic underneath. As he is packaged in robot mode, with his front wheels and shoulders covering said patch, the only way to identify which version is which while in the box is by looking at the hinge joints beside his two painted torso lights, with the center portions of the hinges being unpainted brown on the variant. All releases of this mold also have a minor issue with the truck mode windvane/robot mode heels refusing to connect solidly to the truck cab in vehicle mode, leaving a visible gap above Prime's windshield.

: Anyone looking to buy this figure on the aftermarket be aware, there is a premium [[IP theft|knock-off]] that's been making the rounds since October 2019.

**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[March 31]], 2012'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-01'''
**''Accessories'': 2 "battle cannons"
{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' [[Cyberverse (toyline)#Series 2|Series 2 ''Cyberverse'']] Commander Class toys, Optimus Prime is a smaller-scale toy, and features translucent plastic for his torso so that the toy can be illuminated using the electronic lights featured in the larger playsets. He comes with two translucent "battle cannon" weapons which feature multiple [[C joint|3mm posts and port]]s, allowing them to be held by his hands, or store/mount onto numerous ports on his person. Additionally, he features a 5mm port for a trailer hitch.

:The Hasbro release comes with a pack-in file card. In addition to the regular version, Optimus was also released in a special "advance release" assortment alongside [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Cyberverse|Bulkhead]], [[Megatron (WFC)/toys#Cyberverse|Megatron]] and [[Starscream (WFC)#Cyberverse|Starscream]], with each figure including a mini-DVD that contains the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'' episode "[[Masters & Students]]". Yes, all four of them come with the same episode.

:Like many other modern toys, Optimus was designed with an alternate head sculpt (based on the [[mouthplate]]-less face as seen on the show) intended for a later retool, which was [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] with the original head. At least one specimen sporting the mouthplate-less head has been found at retail, although since this occurrence has seemingly been limited to an isolated incident, it can be assumed to be a [[quality control|manufacturing error]] rather than a genuine [[variant]].<ref name="cvvari">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/cyberverse-optimus-prime-unmasked-variant-174184/ TFW2005 reporting] on the head sculpt "variant" for Cyberverse Commander Class Optimus Prime.</ref> The mouthplate-less head sculpt ''was'' eventually used officially for a later-[[wave]] redeco, Nightwatch Optimus Prime (see below).

:Take note that the leg construction (thigh parts with legs consists of rear wheels/fifth wheel hitch & engine compartment/flip out legs combination) can become loose after a long time of play due to being used with transformation. Also, the legs did not seem to securely connect due to the hitch's shallow holes & the front half of the legs' small pegs. Also, attaching weapons with 3mm posts on the Battle Cannons' holes can cause some stress marks.

:This sculpt was later retooled to make ''Beast Hunters Cyberverse'' [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)#BHCyberverse|Ultra Magnus]].

**''Series / Number'': '''2 / 008'''
**''Accessories'': 2 "battle swords"
{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro)}}

: Part of the third wave of ''Prime Cyberverse'' Commander Class toys, Nightwatch Optimus Prime is a redeco of Series 2 ''Cyberverse'' Optimus Prime, using the faceplate-less head sculpt that is [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] with the original head. His blue plastic is now gray, his smokestacks and thighs are left unpainted, he loses the Autobot insignia on his right forearm/door, and he gains yellow paint highlights for his eyes and lights, along with various other minor deco differences. Instead of the original release's cannons, he now comes with a pair of swords, which each have a pair of 3mm posts for wielding/mounting.

*'''Autobot Set''' (EZ Collection 6-pack, [[November 24]], 2012)
**''ID number'': '''EZ-SP1'''
**''Accessories'': 2 "battle cannons"

: This redeco of Optimus Prime uses the faceplate-less version of the mold's head and replaces his red plastic with a metallic shade. Apart from this, the metallic red paint on the side cabins/backpack & the front windows/chest does not match with the metallic red plastic. The entirety of the dark gray unpaintable plastic is also replaced with a lighter shade, which also resulted in the tires being cast in the same shade.

:He was only available in a TakaraTomy ''[[EZ Collection]]'' six-pack with [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#EZ6pack|Bumblebee]], [[Ratchet (WFC)#EZ6pack|Ratchet]], [[Bulkhead (Prime)#EZ6pack|Bulkhead]], [[Arcee (WFC)#EZ6pack|Arcee]], and [[Wheeljack (Prime)#EZ6pack|Wheeljack]]. Optimus is slightly mis-transformed in-package, probably to fit in the plastic tray. The stock photos still depict his tires being black.

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

: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: [[Beast Hunters (toyline)|Beast Hunters]]'' [[Cyberverse (toyline)#Series 3|Series 3 ''Cyberverse'']] Commander Class toys, Optimus Prime is an all-new mold. He now transforms into a monstrous, flat-nosed truck with spiky fenders at the front and a cage compartment at the back, and comes with the Thunder Lance and Star Saber. Each of the weapons features two differently-placed 3mm posts, allowing them to be held by his hands, or mount onto two ports on the rear vehicle sides, as well as allowing the lance to additionally be used as a pressure-fired missile launcher.

: Undocumented in the instructions, Optimus Prime's front fenders can flip up or down. Probably due to the very small eye holes or a rare case of paint error; All of the copies had the bright metallic blue paint applied onto his lower eye sockets as well. This is present to all of the redecoes below. Likewise, a sculpting/molding issue is present to ''all'' releases of this mold: The lower section of his faceplate is ''slightly'' lopsided.

**''Accessories'': Launcher & missile (combine to form Thunder Lance), [[Star Saber (Prima)#Target2pack|Star Saber]]

: Part of the "[[Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising|Predacons Rising]]" [[subline imprint]], Optimus Prime is a redeco of his Series 3 ''Cyberverse'' Commander Class toy in a color scheme inspired by [[Thunder Clash]], including a version of the latter's peculiar chest insignia. He comes in a two-pack with a purple and black redeco of Commander Class [[Predaking (Prime)#Target2pack|Predaking]].

: Like all ''Predacons Rising'' releases, the Optimus Prime/Predaking two-pack was [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] stores in the United States and Canada and to [[Tesco]] stores in the UK, and is also supposed to be exclusive to Carrefour elsewhere in Europe (presumably in France and/or Spain, though there have been no sightings as of yet). It has also been found at Rossmann drug stores in Germany and Ripley stores in Chile and popped up at BigW stores in Australia ''much'' later, in mid-2014. Also, like all ''Predacons Rising'' multi-pack redecos of ''Beast Hunters'' Cyberverse figures, the ''Cyberverse'' logo is nowhere to be found on the packaging.

His shield can open up to form wings, and can be pegged onto the ridge on top of the vehicle's cage compartment, or mount onto the screw-hole on his, er, robot butt.

: A Bic Camera and Joshin Kids' Land exclusive, this redeco is the first release of the ''Prime: First Edition'' Deluxe class Optimus Prime figure in Japan, in desaturated hues of plastic (the [[stock photography]] provided by TakaraTomy showed Orion Pax's red plastic as more pink than its original toy, this seems to have been a trick of the lighting or a photoshop). He has fewer paint applications than other iterations of the toy, instead utilizing customer-applied foil stickers, including both Autobot and Decepticon insignias of varying sizes.

: While he retains the blaster-cannon accessory, instead of his normal sword, he comes with a gold vac-metal version of the [[Arms Micron]] [[R.A.#Orion|R.A.]], who originally came with [[Ratchet (WFC)/toys#Robots in Disguise|Ratchet]].

{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise (2012)|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' Voyager Class toys, Optimus Prime is a smaller, slightly more [[Articulation|articulated]] mold, and is the first mainline ''Prime'' Optimus Prime figure released ''not'' to have fake windshield windows on his chest, though they're upside-down relative to truck-mode.

: He now comes with a half-translucent gun which lights up and expands [[MechTech]]-style when the lever is pulled. Bizarrely, the main section of the weapon is sculpted to resemble Prime's forearm, with the unfolding part being his in-show gun. Additionally, he comes with an opaque sword resembling the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]], which he can wield two-handed. The gun features a peg on its underside and a port on each side, while the sword features a peg and peg-hole on its hilt in addition to its 5mm handle. In robot mode, either accessory can mount on his hands, on either of his shoulders, or be pegged into either of his half-translucent forearms. In vehicle mode, the top of the vehicle mode cab can also fold back to reveal two additional peg holes, and there are three peg holes (including the fifth wheel hitch) on the back section, although the hitch tends to open up and not hold very well.

: Unlike previous Voyager Class MechTech weapons, the gun cannot be set to stay expanded. This means that Prime is forced to threaten Decepticons with a random block of parts, unless you want to use one of your hands to permanently unfold his weapon.

: As the red parts are entirely painted translucent blue, exercise some caution while transforming or posing him.

: The [[TakaraTomy]] release of Optimus Prime has considerable differences from the [[Hasbro]] release. His blue and red plastics are darker and metallic, his translucent blue plastic is darker, and a few of his [[paint operation]]s have been omitted and replaced with customer-applied foil [[sticker]]s, such as his shins, feet, headlamps, and [[insignia]]s. His legs, outer forearms and truck mode "sleeper cabin" side panels have been [[retool]]ed to include [[5 mm post]]-holes as part of the line-wide "[[Arms Micron]]" gimmick. As such, he does not come with the Hasbro version's weapons, but instead an Arms Micron partner named [[O.P.]] who transforms into a weapon resembling Optimus's in-show blaster cannon.

: AM-01 Optimus was part of a number of special Arms Micron [[campaign item|promotional giveaways]]. Between [[March 1]]st and [[March 30]]th 2012, those who pre-ordered Optimus online from through one of four different web sites ([[Amazon (website)|Amazon Japan]], [[Toys"R"Us]], Bic Camera, and Yodobashi Camera) received the bonus promotional Micron [[Firebolt (G1)#Preorder|Firebolt]] with their Prime. Meanwhile, buying him from [[AEON]] stores got customers the [[R.A.#Shadow|Shadow R.A.]] toy.

: The Hasbro version of the mold was retooled to make ''Beast Hunters'' [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)#Beast Hunters|Ultra Magnus]], using the forearms of the TakaraTomy version. The Takara version of the mold was used to make ''Prime'' [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)#Toys|Nemesis Prime]].

: [[Exclusive]] to Japanese [[Toys"R"Us]] stores, this [[redeco]] of AM-01 Optimus features warmer, metallic shades of plastic, replaces the gray plastic around his windshield-chest with red, and replaces the clear-blue plastics with clear-black. He comes with the Hasbro version's battle sword, which is now a darker, warmer shade. For Arms Microns, he now comes with [[O.P.#Gray|O.P. A]], [[Pral#Gold|Pral G]], [[Sise#Gold|Sise G]], and [[Jaze#Gold|Jaze G]], and the latter three can combine to form a golden version of the [[Cosmotector (Prime)#Gold|Cosmotector]] shield (hence the name).

:If purchased during the summer 2012 promotional period, he also came with a cardboard trailer unit that features Arms Micron mounting points, and can carry a Deluxe Class vehicle (like, say, [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#Deluxe|Bumblebee]]).

**''TakaraTomy release date:'' [[September 29]] 2012
**''TakaraTomy ID Number:'' '''AM-21'''
**''Accessories'': Rifle (Hasbro only), "R.A." Arms Micron & Matrix Blade (TakaraTomy only)

: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: Robots in Disguise'' Weaponizer Class toys, Optimus Prime is a large toy, similar in size to Leader Class figures from previous ''Transformers'' toylines. He features a simpler transformation and design compared to previous Leader-sized figures, with him having fake chest windows (again) and a simplified, hollow truck rear where his feet, arms, and fake chest windows are plainly visible. He comes with a blaster that can mount onto his hands, shoulder-pads, and the sides of his legs/truck rear.

: His ''main'' gimmicks, however, are the two large, blue-and-white mini-guns hidden in his back/hood, which can deploy and "weaponize" either mode. When deployed, the mini-guns swing out from his back/hood and spin, while a red LED inside his torso lights up briefly. The mini-guns swing down to the sides of his head in robot mode, and can also be deployed in vehicle mode when one manually opens the grille. Pushing down on the red lever on the center his torso (in either mode) briefly lights up the LED again and swings the mini-guns back into their hiding places.

: The Hasbro version of this mold was retooled to make ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)#Platinum Edition|Ultra Magnus]].

: The [[TakaraTomy]] version, part of the seventh wave of Japanese ''Prime'' toys, is dubbed '''Arms Master Optimus''', uses darker, metallic plastics, casts the backs of his thighs in metallic red, replaces his metallic silver paint with glossy gray, and replaces a few of his paint operations with customer-applied foil stickers, such as his insignias, shins, headlamps, the ''tiny'' yellow lights on his torso, and the blue deco on his truck panel sides. He has also been retooled with additional [[5 mm post]]s for his thighs, roof, and lower backpack, as well as ports for his forearms, shoulders, smokestacks, fuel tanks, and roof. Instead of the rifle, he comes with a very large [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#ArmsMaster|Matrix]] which can tab onto his chest as armor or mount onto the back of the truck cab, with the Matrix also being covered in 5 mm posts and holes so that Arms Microns can be attached to it. He additionally comes with a clear-blue "Shining" version of the Arms Micron, [[R.A.#ArmsMaster|R.A.]], who can combine with the Matrix to form the colossal [[Star Saber (Prima)#ArmsMaster|Matrix Saber]].

: Arms Master Optimus was central to a number of [[campaign item|promotional giveaways]]. A larger version of the cardboard trailer unit that came with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#BattleShield|Battle Shield Optimus Prime]] was given away to customers who bought him at Yodobashi Camera and Bic Camera stores. Purchasing him from [[AEON]] stores got you a ''second'' version of R.A., [[R.A.#ShiningGR|Shining R.A. GR]]. Then in mid-November, AEON had a second promotion for the toy, this time offering the [[Gura#Shining|Shining Gura B]] Arms Micron.

**''Series/Number'': '''2 / 001'''
**''Accessories:'' Two "Ionic Pulse Launchers"/"Eaglefire Missile Launchers", two missiles, [[Star Saber (Prima)#BHVoyager|Star Saber]]

: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: Beast Hunters'' Voyager Class toys, Optimus Prime transforms into a monstrous, flat-nosed truck, but differs from his Cyberverse toy by having a faceplate-less mouth, and by being equipped with a large four-winged backpack in robot mode. He features a 5mm port for each of his hands, one on his backpack, one near each of his front wheels, and one on each of his two upper wings.

:He comes with the Star Saber, which has a 5mm handle and a post on its hilt, as well as two spring-loaded, missile-firing "[[Ionic Pulse Launcher]]s" (which are called "Eaglefire Missile Launchers" in the instructions). The launchers each feature a 5 mm post, have flip open prods, and can peg onto the ports near the wheels on his robot back, giving him a pair of back-mounted rocket engines.

:Some units have a waist [[Swivel joint|swivel]] that is somehow fixed in place, and is unable to rotate. His packaging stock photography also depicts translucent green missiles that are opaque light-gray in the final product. His instructions include the [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 5|fifth chapter]] of the ''[[Tales of the Beast Hunters]]'' series.

:He was redecoed into ''[[Triple Combination: Transformers Go! (toyline)|Go!]]'' Hunter Optimus Prime and ''Go!'' [[Hunter Nemesis Prime]]. This toy also served as the basis of the non-toy ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Galvatron (BW)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Galvatron]].

**''Accessories:'' Dragon-hunting sword, dragon-hunting shield, five missiles
{{toydesigner|[[Lenny Panzica]] (Hasbro)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: Beast Hunters'' Ultimate Class toys, Beast Hunter Optimus Prime is larger than the average Weaponizer or Leader Class toy, and comes with a sword and shield which can mount via 5 mm post in various ways on his hands, forearms, and legs.

:His main [[gimmick]], however, is his quintet of "[[Firebreath Cyclocannons]]"—spring-loaded dragon-headed missile launchers mounted on an ornate, rotating circular contraption attached to his back/roof. Turning the handle on top makes the backpack rotate and cycle through each cannon, and pressing the handle's button will trigger and fire whatever cannon is at the top/front. When the cannons are cycled through in robot mode, his eyes and windshield-chest light up, and one can alternatively rotate (but not fire) the cannons and activate his light-up features by pushing down on the fake spiky fenders on his stomach. Out of the package, the handle itself comes detached to allow the rest of the toy to fit.

:His stock photography depicts his three green missiles as translucent when they are opaque in the final product. His instructions include the [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 17|seventeenth chapter]] of the ''Tales of the Beast Hunters'' series. This toy was originally announced at UK Toy Fair 2013 as "Dragon Disc Optimus Prime".

:His sword would later be reused for Unite Warriors [[Grand Scourge#Unite Warriors|Grand Scourge]]'s [[Matrix Breaker]] Sword, and [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Arcee]]'s [[Combiner Slayer]] from the SDCC Exclusive Combiner Hunters set.

{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''Beast Hunters'' Series 3 Voyager Class toys, Optimus Prime is functionally an upsized copy of his ''Beast Hunters'' Series 3 ''Cyberverse'' toy, though with certain sculpted details based on his larger toys, the replacement of his ball joints with more robust [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet joint]]s, the addition of thigh [[Swivel joint|swivel]]s, and various deco differences. As a result, his complexity is lower than in his previous Voyager Class toys, but he ends up being much, ''much'' more massive.

:For accessories, he comes with (according to his bio) "the ancient weapons of the Primes", such as his Nexus Sword (a reference to [[Nexus Prime]]), the Vector Shield (an upscaled, non-transforming version of the shield from his [[#BBladeCyberverse|''Cyberverse'' "Beast Blade" toy]], and a reference to [[Vector Prime]]), as well as a generic cannon with a pressure-fired missile. All of his accessories can peg into his hands, right forearm, backside, and vehicle sides.

:The Nexus Sword is similar to the one included with the original Voyager ''Beast Hunters'' Optimus Prime toy, but is shorter and less detailed.

:Optimus Prime transforms into a red and blue semi truck of likely fictitious origin. In keeping with the simplified [[Transformation|transformation scheme]] of the Rescue Bots line, Optimus Prime transforms from truck to robot when [[Autotransformation|his legs are folded down]], at which point his head, arms, and hands emerge; folding his toes into position will finish the transformation.

:Of note is that on some samples, the head can sometimes lock into position even when the figure is in robot mode; this could be observed simply by walking into a store and seeing multiple "headless" Prime figures. This can occasionally be corrected by pushing down on the back of the panel or tapping the head, thereby releasing it.

:This new smaller mold of Optimus Prime features a similar transformation to the original toy. Unlike most transformable figures in this line, Optimus completely lacks 5mm fist holes. Compared to the finalized toy, the product photo on the back of the box has a number of deco differences, most notably silver thighs and white accents above the front windows in addition to those below.

**''Kreons'': Optimus Prime, Megatron, Security Officer, Tank Driver
**''Accessories'': Energon axe

: This set's Optimusses are based on the ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|incarnation]]. The larger Optimus is a smaller, simpler build than the first big kit, and makes use of ball-and-socket parts for increased articulation. It also carries a spring-loaded missile launcher. The Optimus Kreon's [[tampograph]]s are based directly on the ''Prime'' cartoon model, though he carries an energon axe akin to the one from the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' games. He also has a clear-blue extra "energon" torso piece.

: This set also comes with a [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]] tank/robot build, a miniature bank playset with opening/breakaway vault to hold the set's "[[ultimate Dark Energon weapon]]" piece (though it also contains stickers that can make the bank into a museum), and Kreons of ''Prime''-styled Megatron, a human [[Security Officer (Kre-O)|Security Officer]] and evil human [[Tank Driver]].

: In this set, both the buildable Optimus Prime and the included Kreon figure are in the style of ''[[Beast Hunters]]'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. In addition to the robot mode having a buildable shield and sword, both it and the vehicle build have two firing missile launchers. Additionally, four hands are included, with two possibilities for each arm.

: The large "[[Autobot Command Center]]" playset comes with a multitude of ''Prime''-based Kreons, but the set's Optimus isn't a Kreon, but a brick-built mini-vehicle based on Optimus's truck mode. The truck also features a pressure-fired net launcher, in order to catch the similarly brick-built [[Rippersnapper (Prime)#AutobotCommandCenter|Rippersnapper]] beast.

**''Pieces'': '''189'''
**''Accessories'': Ray pistol, Jetpack, 2 missiles

:The "[[Underbite Jetpack Takedown]]" Optimus Kreon uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes them incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. Based on his appearance in ''Robots in Disguise'', he features a new version of the Optimus helmet, this time lacking a moutplate. He attaches to an included jet pack, armed with two pressure-launch missiles.

:All of the 2015 Transformers ''Kre-O'' product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the US through TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores, including this set.

: Optimus got his own large vehicle set, featuring a giant longnosed cab truck with space on the back to connect the included "[[Stasis pod#2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon|stasis cell]]" for transport. That "flatbed" part is rigged to be pushed forward, which pushes a large cannon forward out through the truck's front grill; pushing the cannon ''all'' the way forward automatically launches the massive rubber-tipped missile. The somekstacks are also hinged to swing down into "machinegun" mode.

: The set comes with another Optimus Kreon, plus [[Fracture (RID)#Kre-O|Fracture]] (who comes with a hoverbike vehicle) and micro-Kreon Mini-Cons [[Airazor (RID)#Kre-O|Airazor]] and [[Divebomb (RID)#Kre-O|Divebomb]].

**''Accessories'': Rack, bazooka, dual pick-axe

:Part of the sixth wave of Custom Kreons, and the first (and only) ''Robots in Disguise''-themed wave, Optimus Prime uses the new 2015 Kreon construction with the hollow waist-peg and "raised" hands.. He comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his extra pieces. Unlike the previous Custom Kreons, he no longer features a chromed helmet, and comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso, legs, and his arms, plus a chromed Bazooka (originally from the Kre-O Battleship sets), and some kind of a dual pick-axe with a clear red staff.

:Despite what the instructions said, the body piece ''cannot'' be pegged down between the leg parts installed on the display stand. However this can be amended by putting a 2x1 brick piece.

:For some reason: unlike the stock photos (pictured from the right), This Custom Kreon had a slight [[Quality control|QC]] issue to the opaque and transparent helmets: One had two sides sculpted, while the other one has the small flat square sculpt (similar to the details on Hound's helmet) on the right side. Several samples had two different "variants": One with the perfect transparent helmet & a differently-sculpted opaque helmet, while the other one has the opposite.

{{picsneeded|combined modes}}
:Part of the eighth wave of TakaraTomy ''[[Triple Combination: Transformers Go! (toyline)|Go!]]'' toys, Optimus Exprime is capable of changing from a robot to either a train or (something resembling) a [[Popular beast alternate modes#Dragons|dragon]] and back again. He can also form the torso of either DaiKenzan (with [[Kenzan]] forming the upper torso, head, and arms and [[Gekisoumaru]] forming the legs) or DaiGekisou (With Kenzan and Gekisoumaru reversed from their roles in DaiKenzan).

:While not mentioned in his instructions, the train sections which normally hang off his arms can be reversed and his dragon claws can be flipped out to give him a passable set of combat claws.

:Each of his kabuto helmets forms the head for one of the two combined modes. In addition, either of his kabuto helmets can be connected to his robot mode back (allowing his swords to also be stored on his back), and both can be connected to the rear of his train mode simultaneously. In robot mode or combined mode, his kabuto helmets can be held individually as a shield or combined into an even larger shield.

:Optimus Exprime's electronics are slightly less complex than those of Kenzan and Gekisoumaru. In robot, dragon, and train modes, pressing a button sets off red flashing LEDs and causes him to play one of seven sounds or phrases (which do not change depending on the mode). Pressing and holding the button activates a combination mode similar to the ones found in Kenzan and Gekisoumaru. Optimus Exprime calls on Kenzan and Gekisoumaru to combine with him, and then combination music plays as the LEDs flash blue, purple, and red (with the two halves of his [[Autobot]] [[insignia]] showing different colors!). Completing either combination by snapping the correct kabuto helmet into place ends the combination mode and triggers another phrase.

:Once combined, DaiKenzan has three new phrases (spoken in Kenzan's voice), while DaiGekisou has four (in Gekisoumaru's voice). In either combined form, pressing and holding the button activates an additional, longer phrase for their "final attack". DaiGekisou is armed with a scissors-esque "shuriken" made from combining Optimus Exprime's two swords, while DaiKenzan simply wields them separately.

:Unlike the other [[Swordbot]] toys, Optimus Exprime's kabuto helmets form an integral part of one of his [[alternate mode]]s. The kabuto helmet designed for use with his DaiGekisou combination forms the head of his dragon form, while the kabuto helmet designed for use with his DaiKenzan combination forms the "tail" of the same. He comes with two HUGE swords (with [[5 mm post|5mm]] handles) which can be attached to several places on his kabuto helmets or either alternate form, held separately in his hands, or held both in the same hand (with one held in reverse-grip).

:An additional oddity is that unlike every other toy in the Go! toyline, Optimus Exprime came packaged in a box without a window. This is potentially because of the sheer amount of information TakaraTomy wanted to print on the box, or because they were unable to fit him into the box in robot mode with all of his accessories displayed. Whatever the reason, it left him with a smaller box than the other voyagers in the line, a substantially-altered box layout, and a much shorter profile.

:Adorably, his robot mode feet are molded to resemble itty-bitty versions of his bullet train mode, complete with molded wheels.

:Optimus Exprime's swords were later reused for [[Bludgeon (G1)#Combiner Wars|Figure Subscription Service 4.0 Bludgeon]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legion Class, 2015/2016)
: Part of the first wave of the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'']] line, Optimus Prime is a smaller-scale toy. He transforms from robot to trailer/truck combination and back! Like every ''Robots in Disguise'' Legion Class toy, Optimus features 3mm posts on his hands and arms. Due to the size and simplified transformation, he ends up having 6 wheels instead of 10. His scannable Autobot insignia is on his robot mode left shoulder. However, the badge is completely impossible to scan in vehicle mode.

:[[:File:RID2015-Legion-Optimus-Prime.jpg|The prototype images]] showed that Optimus features sharp antennae on his head. This was rounded off [[for safety reasons]] in the final product.

:This mold was redecoed into [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)#Robots in Disguise (2015)|Ultra Magnus]].

:In 2016, the figure saw re-release in the ''[[Combiner Force]]'' [[subline imprint]] packaging refresh. Being the ''tenth'' use of the sculpt at this point, some instances of mold deterioration have affected the figure, including: the vehicle front's bumper (which affects the space on the head/front bumper transformation), the headlights, and/or the legs, and the hole on the left shoulder is also prone to develop a stress mark due to the right shoulder's slightly "thickened" peg. Although the re-released badge didn't seem to unlock Optimus Prime after it was scanned, a later update to the game amended this.

:Also, the ''Combiner Force'' re-release's instructions were erroneously packed with [[Heatseeker#Legion|Heatseeker]].

:Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime is a redeco of the Legion Class Optimus Prime figure, with its deco inspired by Powered Convoy's inner robot from ''[[Diaclone]]''. His stock photo is mistransformed: his head is not connected on the the neck, and his truck front is not folded properly in vehicle mode.

:Like his original Legion Class toy, his scannable Autobot insignia is on his robot mode left shoulder. And yet again, the badge is completely impossible to scan in vehicle mode.

:Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime has been released twice as well: First in the original ''Robots in Disguise'' packaging design, and then again in the ''Mini-Con Weaponizers'' subline imprint packaging refresh.

**''Japanese ID number'': '''TED-06'''

:Part of the first wave of ''Transformers: Robots in Disguise'' [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Three-Step Changers|Hyperchange Heroes]], Optimus Prime transforms from a futuristic trailer truck to robot in just 3 easy steps! His arms & legs serve as his trailer, while his chest serves as his truck front. He is also one of the few ''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime toys which does not feature a [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux]] window chest in robot mode. Both of his arms are articulated with 5mm holes in each hand.

:His scannable Autobot insignia is on his robot mode chest/truck hood. The badge is easily scannable while in package.

:The ''Transformers Adventure'' Easy Dynamic Series release, titled "'''Big Optimus Prime'''", features extra paint details and has two additional Autobot symbols on his shoulders. He also includes a different scannable badge, which is compatible with TakaraTomy's Transformers Adventures app. Scanning this will unlock Big Optimus Prime in the collection list. Unlike the American release, Big Optimus Prime is packaged in a windowed box, instead of an an open package.

**''Accessories:'' Axe
:This Deluxe-sized Optimus Prime transforms into a futuristic trailer truck. Due to his simple transformation scheme, he has a [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux]] window chest in robot mode, while the end of the front trailer kibble has extra toes. Optimus Prime also comes with an axe, which was based on the Energon Axe weapon from the ''War for Cybertron'' game. Undocumented in the instructions, Prime's axe can store between his trailer, or plug into ports on either of his shoulders. His scannable Autobot insignia is on his robot mode left shoulder and is easily scannable while still in-package.

:While stock photos of the toy feature silver paint on the thigh joints, the actual product features a nearly identical shade of grey paint to match the unpaintable upper legs.

:Optimus Prime was first released as part of the second wave of the Warrior Class assortment, but despite being succeeded by the "Blizzard Strike" redeco in wave 5, which itself was later re-released in the ''Mini-Con Weaponizers'' subline imprint packaging refresh, the original red version of Optimus Prime was also re-released in ''Mini-Con Weaponizers'' packaging.

*'''Power Surge Optimus Prime''' (Warrior Class, 2016-2017)
**''Accessories:'' 2 swords, axe, launcher

:Power Surge Optimus Prime is a retool of the original Warrior Class Optimus Prime figure, now transforming into a 6-wheeled futuristic trailer truck. Optimus now also comes with a pair of swords, which can be attached to his 5mm-compatible hands or the top of the truck/back port to serve as the robot's wings. Most notably, Power Surge Optimus Prime features retooled truck hood/shoulder parts to makes the hands more evident. As a retool of the original Warrior Class Optimus Prime toy, he retains his axe accessory, albeit unpainted just like the ''Clash of the Transformers'' Warrior Class toy's. His light blue-colored Launcher can be attached onto his collar.

:Like the original Warrior Class Optimus Prime, the figure features an undocumented feature: His axe can be stored on his vehicle mode trailer. Additional features include storing the axe onto either of his leg hooks, combining the launcher with either of the swords at their hilt, and storing the launcher underneath the vehicle. In a neat bit of engineering, he can fully transform with his swords attached.

:Power Surge Optimus Prime's scannable Autobot insignia is on his robot mode left shoulder. As he's packaged in robot mode, this badge is easily scannable while still in-package. Like his wavemate Bumblebee, this figure eventually saw release in the 11th wave of the Warrior Class line with the "Combiner Force" packaging. His scannable sticker is also altered, but scanning the badge only unlocks Energon currency, but not the character. This ''also'' applies to the original release's badge, but it unlocks eight Ultra Sparks instead.

:First released as part of the seventh wave of the Warrior Class assortment under the ''Mini-Con Weaponizers'' subline imprint, Power Surge Optimus Prime was later re-released in the ''Combiner Force'' subline imprint packaging refresh.

:This retooled mold was also used to make [[Nemesis Prime (RID)#TAV56|another Nemesis Prime]].

It transforms from truck to robot in just 3 easy steps! His deco is based on his appearance in the season finale "Battlegrounds". He also obtains additional articulation on the arms, and sports connector ports for any ''Robots in Disguise (2015)'' Mini-Con figures.

:Like the 3-step changer figure, his scannable Autobot insignia is on his robot mode chest/truck hood. The badge is easily scannable while in package.

:While stock photos of his American packaging give this figure the name "Mega 1-Step Optimus Prime" (with the "1-Step" part translated into French, Spanish and Portuguese), the final product's packaging simply says "Mega Optimus Prime".

*'''Robots in Disguise Collection''' (6-pack, 2015)

:The new One-Step Optimus Prime toy transforms from a trailer truck into a robot in just one easy step! The toy features a similar transformation to the other [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#OneStep|One-Step Optimus Prime]] and [[Hound (Movie)#Robots in Disguise|One-Step Changer Movie Hound]]. The figure is only available as a "Special Edition Figure" in a 6-pack with the One-Step figures of [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#RIDCollection|Bumblebee]], [[Steeljaw (RID)#RIDCollection|Steeljaw]], [[Grimlock (RID 2015)#RIDCollection|Grimlock]], [[Sideswipe (RID)#RIDCollection|Sideswipe]], and Underbite, all of which are unchanged from their individual releases. This set was exclusive to [[Target]] stores in the United States and to [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in Canada.

:His scannable badge is featured on the left side of his trailer. Like the Legion Class figures, the badge is impossible to be scanned in robot mode. Due to how the legs are molded, Optimus Prime can ride on [[Grimlock (RID 2015)#Stomp .26 Chomp|Stomp & Chomp Grimlock]], but does not activate any of the larger figure's gimmicks.

:Part of 9th wave of One-Step Changers, and the first of the Combiner Force subline, this Optimus Prime is yet another new mold, with a different transformation scheme (a similar engineering to ''Age of Extinction''{{'}}s Bumblebee) consisting of pulling the switch on the back (do ''not'' hold the truck kibble when you transform him). Like most One-Step Changers, Optimus Prime features limited articulation on the shoulders, and features 5mm compatible hands.

:His scannable badge is on the right side of his vehicle mode's trailer kibble, accessible while in-package. This Optimus cannot ride on [[Grimlock (RID 2015)#Stomp .26 Chomp|Stomp & Chomp Grimlock]] due to how the legs are molded.

*'''Optimus Prime vs. Decepticon Bludgeon''' (Mini-Con Battle Pack, 2015)
**''Accessories'': Battle Axe, 5 armor pieces (combine to form into a weapon)
:Part of the first wave of ''Mini-Con Battle Pack'' figures, this Optimus Prime figure is about the size of a Scout Class figure (In Optimus' case, the size of ''Cyberverse'' Commander figure), and scaled with Legion Class figures. Its transformation scheme also takes some cues from the [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Legion Class|Legion Class figure]]. Battle Pack Optimus Prime also features a transparent orange battle axe & armor pieces, although the chest armor/flip-up mask piece is needed to be assembled first. The included pieces can be combined into a clawed battle axe, or attached to his body to form his armor (although the flip-up mask can restrict his head articulation). Optimus Prime can totally wield the axe dual-handed. As an undocumented feature, the axe can be stored on his truck mode with the tab featured on Prime's right shoulder.

:The figure seems to have some transformation scheme & design related problems in it: The front truck cab's upper two pieces are supposed to be pushed to the front in robot mode, but the piece keeps collapsing back due to looseness when the figure is standing straight (Though pressing the two halves together firmly tends to reduce this issue for a while), while the tab underneath the truck grill does not connect well with the bottom port. Additionally, his 5mm compatible hands have a slight problem with wielding weapons with short 5 mm posts.

:Optimus Prime was also packaged with [[Bludgeon (RID 2015)|Bludgeon]], a Cyclone Mini-Con which is designed to be launched from the [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]] [[Crazybolt (RID)#Toys|Crazybolt]] and [[Overload (RID)#Toys|Overload]] toys.

:His scannable Autobot insignia is in his left shoulder. While accessible in Robot Mode (and in-package), the badge is impossible to be scanned in vehicle mode.

:This mold was also used to make [[Toys"R"Us Prime|Geoffrey Prime]].

:Power Surge Optimus Prime is roughly the size of a Leader Class figure, and transforms into a truck in 7 steps. It comes with the [[Mini-Con]] [[Aerobolt]], who transforms from a bird to his chestplate. This triggers electronic lights and sounds, as well as deploying a mask, two shoulder cannons, and a pair of large wings for the larger robot. He is packaged with his front truck kibble detached from his body so he can fit inside his packaging properly.

:The toy was originally solicited as '''Gigawatt Optimus Prime''' in the Robots in Disguise Mobile Game.

* '''Strongarm and Optimus Prime''' (Crash Combiners, 2016/2017)
:Part of the first wave of the ''Combiner Force'' assortment, Optimus is a roughly Scout-class sized figure that changes from his futuristic truck with a combiner chest that doubles as his spoiler into a robot in <s>three</s> four extremely simple steps. His individual robot mode only has limited articulation on his shoulders. He also has a little green arrow above the connector on the truck bumper indicating where to crash him to combine with other figures. A 5 mm post hole on top of his vehicle mode can accommodate a compatible accessory or Weaponizer Minicon, though he cannot use it in his individual robot mode.

:Optimus Prime comes packaged with [[Strongarm (RID)#Crash Combiners|Strongarm]] and is intended to combine with her to form [[Primestrong]]'s upper torso. Connecting them to each other will activate Optimus Prime's automatic transformation, but Strongarm must be converted manually. He can also combine with any other Crash Combiner figure to form a random Combiner.

:Although no scannable badge is located at his robot mode, the badge was located at his combined mode's left shoulder. The badge was impossible to be scanned while in-package due to the obstruction of the spring-loaded combiner chest kibble. Speaking of impossible, the badges on the re-releases of the toy can't be scanned by the game. The instruction sheet amusingly replaces Optimus's last picture in the transformation process with [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]].

Like the previous versions, Optimus Prime can become the top half of any Crash Combiner gestalt, though his official combination is with Grimlock as [[Primelock]].

: The instructions also separated the transformation schemes on the flip-out head and the chest as the 3rd & 4th step. Also, unlike the first toy, Optimus Prime's lower chin is not entirely painted.

:Available only for the Japanese markets, this Optimus Prime is a large figure that stands around the same height as a ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' gestalt, and he transforms from a futuristic trailer truck to robot and back. The figure features 3 gimmicks:
:*Pressing the button on his robot mode chest activates the red lights (well, because the blue ones are expensive for the price point) on his chest, and the sounds and voice phrases (provided by [[Taitem Kusunoki]]) were played along with the light-up gimmick. Pressing the button for a few seconds will activate his long voice line with transformation sounds.
:*Pressing the two gray pieces on his arms makes the spring-loaded 5mm-compatible Decepticon Hunter hilt pop out from his hands.
:*Turning the dial on his left shoulder will feature a normal Autobot Insignia, and ''two'' Scan-badges.

:Optimus Prime also has a sculpted translucent Matrix panel inside his chest that lights up when his electronics are activated.

:The figure also features a hollow trailer, fit for the Warrior Class-sized toys. The trailer can also be converted into a battle station. Because of the toy's design & transformation, he is kinda show-accurate. Optimus also features 5mm-compatible ports on his trailer, arms, shoulders, legs, knees, waist armor, and the pop-out Decepticon Hunters. He also includes a number of soft rubbery weapons such as his signature axe, the sword, the crossbow, the lance, the katana-like sword, and the black blaster (the only one molded in hard plastic). The weapons can also be combined with the Decepticon Hunters into a dual-bladed weapon, or store into the trailer's inner panels. The weapons can also be wielded by any Warrior Class figures, although the accessories are associated with Bumblebee, Grimlock, Sideswipe, Strongarm, Jazz, & Drift.

:The two badges on his left shoulder are compatible with TakaraTomy's ''Transformers Chronicle'' app.

===International Day of Friendship===
[[File:MLP_BFFs_-_Transformers.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]
On [[July 30]], [[2015]], [[Hasbro]] announced that they had made custom pony versions of "best friends" [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] along with {{w|Sesame Street|characters}} {{w|Clueless (film)|from}} {{w|I Love Lucy|other}} {{w|Laverne & Shirley|franchises}} in honor of the International Day of Friendship. Both ponies have the [[Autobot]] [[insignia]] as their cutie marks. These ponies were never released to general retail or as convention exclusives, having been created specifically for this event.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Action Figure, 2015)
**''Pieces'': '''8'''
**''Accessories'': Decepticon Hunter mace-flail

: Part of the fourth and final wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' basic Action Figures —and the second of the ''Robots in Disguise''-themed product— Optimus Prime is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory.

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

: The fourth wave of ''Hero Mashers'' was not released in the US, seeing release mostly in European and Australian markets.

:*''Hasbro ID number'': '''+03'''
:*''Accessories'': axe head, 2 axe handle pieces, [[Ion_blaster#Transformers:_War_for_Cybertron|Ion Blaster]], [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#GamerEdition|Matrix of Leadership]], "Kaon Prison Break" backdrop
{{toydesigner|[[Evan Brooks]] (Hasbro), [[Koki Yamada]] (TakaraTomy)}}<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpi_le8uDJX/ Design notes on Gamer Edition Optimus Prime] from [[Hasbro]] designer [[Evan Brooks]] on Instagram</ref>

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Studio Series]] Gamer Edition'' figures, "Gamer Edition Optimus Prime" is based on his appearance in the ''War for Cybertron'' video game and transforms into a Cybertronian truck in 22 steps. Unfortunately, the rear of the truck lacks any covering, leaving his hands ''very'' exposed from that angle. Due to his transformation, Optimus does not have the engraved Autobot insignia on his back like his game counterpart and the [[#Generations|original ''Generations'' figure]].

:Like other ''Studio Series Gamer Edition'' figures, his right forearm can be removed to attach his Ion Blaster or any other ''Gamer Edition'' blaster via use of a [[5 mm post]]. Unlike other ''Gamer Edition'' figures, his forearm can be stored behind his waist when not in use. The Ion Blaster is compatible with [[Fire Blast effect]]s, using a 3mm post instead of the usual 5mm port for blasters of this size. He also comes with his large battle axe, which is comprised of two handle pieces and a headpiece, as well as a 5mm compatible Matrix of Leadership accessory which is stored inside his chest cavity.

:Notably, Optimus' axe accessory has been designed so it can assume both configurations seen in the game; the larger blade can be left folded in half for a halberd-style weapon, as seen in cinematic cutscenes, or unfolded to make a double-bladed axe, as seen during actual gameplay. His shoulders can also be slid out and the transformation hinges used as butterfly joints to aid in posing with the large axe.

:For storage in vehicle mode, the blaster attaches on the truck bed while the axe head slots on top of the blaster. He has two 5mm ports on the sides of his vehicle mode, so the axe can be split and stored in a slightly more streamlined manner if desired. Unusually for a ''Studio Series'' figure, Optimus has no dedicated method of storing his weapons in robot mode. Some buyers have been able to find creative but unintentional methods, such as clicking the Ion Blaster to the thin section of the front bumper where the gaps on either side of the grill are. However, this can potentially scratch the paint, so due caution should be exercised.

:In a borderline unnoticeable case of misassembly, every single one of Optimus' wheels is on the incorrect side, as shown in the vehicle mode product render. The detailing is intended to point down instead of up to replicate the in-game tire model. To remedy this, swap the left wheels to the right side and vice-versa. Some copies have been reported to have scuffs and scratches on the softer blue plastic parts, particularly the back half of the vehicle mode. This appears to be due to the release agent used in casting being insufficient, causing the metal mold itself to scratch the parts as their sprue is removed. It appears to be less common and less severe in later waves than in its initial release.

:Optimus Prime was reissued in mid-2024 with preorders listed on April of that year.

==Notes==
[[File:SDCCPrimeOptimusPrimeTestShot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|> OPEN PACKAGE You open the package. There is an Optimus Prime inside.]]
*A black and red version of the First Edition deluxe Optimus Prime could be seen in the [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011 ''Transformers'' slide show, inside a mock-up of the wearable Matrix of Leadership package done for the convention that year. This figure was presumably a test-shot, as it seems to share plastic colors with ''Generations'' [[Black Shadow (G1)#Generations|Sky Shadow]] (who was, coincidentally, first revealed at that same Comic-Con).

===Arms Up Modes===
In the Japanese ''Prime'' toyline, Optimus has several powered-up modes when given various [[Arms Micron]]s in certain configurations:

[[File:SickMind CybSat-OpSkyMaster.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|He's about to pull a Powdered Toast Man.]]

*'''Sword Mode''' (ソードモード ''Sōdo Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.B., C.L., O.P., R.A.
: Optimus's "Sword Mode", depicted on his AM-01 release box-back, which is just him brandishing the [[Star Saber (Arms Micron)|Star Saber]] while [[C.L.]] is attached to Optimus's right leg. Woo.

*'''Sky Master Mode''' (スカイマスターモード ''Sukai Masutā Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.B. (x2), C.L. (x2), Jida (x2), O.P.
: The more interesting "Sky Master Mode", revealed in the "[[From the Cybertron Satellite, Transformers Division|Cybertron Satellite]]" segment of "[[Sick Mind|Phantom Transformation! Mind-Diving]]", has him using O.P. as a blaster, ''two'' [[B.B.]]s as leg-thrusters, and ''two'' sets of C.L./[[Jida]](!) combinations as back-mounted [[jet pack]]s. The [[Arms Micron#AMW Series|AMW versions]] of C.L. and Jida, while not as color-coordinated, are a far more economical option than buying two of each Cliffjumper. Good luck with the second B.B.. This mode was created as a "counter" to the aerial combatant Starscream, along with the [[Energon Sniper]] Combo Weapon (despite it being a Decepticon-Micron-formed weapon). Apparently, the "Arms Up Mission" game isn't picky about factions.

*'''Galaxy Prime Mode''' (ギャラクシープライムモード ''Gyarakushī Puraimu Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.B., Jaze, O.P., Pral, R.A., Sise
: Seen on [[Unicron/toys#Prime|Gaia Unicron]]'s boxback, "Galaxy Prime mode" has Optimus wearing Gaia Unicron in "Gaia Armor" mode while holding the [[Star Saber (Arms Micron)|Star Saber]] and [[Cosmotector (Prime)|Cosmotector]] Super Combo Weapons.

*'''Ultimate Mode''' (アルティメットモード ''Arutimetto Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.B., Baro, Baro G, Baru, B.H., B.H. B, C.L., C.L. GR, Dai, Gabu, Gora, Gora II, Igu, Jaze, Jida, Jida R, Noji, O.P., Pral, R.A., Sise, Shining B.B., Shining O.P., Shining R.A.
: This Micron-covered "Ultimate Mode" for Arms Master Optimus was shown in the Cybertron Satellite segment of "[[One Shall Rise, Part 3|Sealed Transformation! The Mystery of Orion Pax]]". He wears the Matrix on his chest with [[Baro]], Baro G, [[R.A.]] and Shining R.A. attached to it, [[Zori|Zori M]] on his back, Jida R and [[Igu]] on his right shoulder, Jida and [[Noji]] on his left shoulder, B.H. and C.L. on his right arm, B.H. B and C.L. GR on his left arm, [[Gora]] on his right hip and Gora II on his left, B.B. and Shining O.P. on his right leg, and Shining B.B. and O.P. on his left leg. Finally, he wields the Cosmotector and [[Dark Matter Calibur]] in his hands. Phew!

*'''Sky Wing Mode''' (スカイウイングモード ''Sukai Uingu Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': C.L., Hades, Ida, Jida, Shining R.A.
: "Sky Wing Mode" is a flight-capable mode for Arms Master Optimus shown in the Cybertron Satellite segment of "[[Orion Pax, Part 2|Hopeful Transformation! Aim for Planet Cybertron]]". He wears [[Hades]] as wings with C.L. attached, and wields the Matrix Saber as well as a weapon made from Jida and [[Ida]].

*'''Aqua Screw Mode''' (アクアスクリューモード ''Akua Sukuryū Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': Arc S, B.H. B, Baro, Baro G, C.L., C.L. GR, Dai, Gora II, Zamu
: A mode for Arms Master Optimus designed for underwater combat, "Aqua Screw Mode" was shown in Cybertron Satellite segment of "[[Loose Cannons|Explosive Sword Transformation! Wheeljack and Dreadwing]]". C.L. and Baro are combined into a propeller engine and attached to his right foot, their GR and G redecoes do the same for the left, and B.H. B is attached to his right shoulder to act as a radar system. He wears [[Arc|Arc S]]'s blade on his right arm and wields the [[Giga Tornado Cannon]] Combo Weapon.

*'''Space Blaster Mode''' (スペースブラスターモード ''Supēsu Burasutā Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.H., B.H. B, C.L., C.L. GR, Gora II, Guru, R.A., Shining R.A., Zori M
: Arms Master Optimus's "Space Blaster Mode" is a mode designed for fighting in outer space, introduced in the Cybertron Satellite segment of "[[Armada (episode)|Infinite Transformation! Multiplying Enemies]]". He wears R.A. and Shining R.A. on his shoulders as wings, C.L. and C.L. GR on his back as thrusters, and B.H. and B.H. B on his feet as... more thrusters. His weapon of choice in this mode is the [[Matrix Blaster]].

[[File:IfAtFirst Hoist brainstorming.jpg|thumb|left|260px]]
Hoist was selected to be a new recruit at the [[Rescue Bot Training Center]] on [[Earth]]. Shortly after [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] joined the team, [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] had them undertake a test rescue, with Hoist and [[Medix (RB)|Medix]] extracting [[Tough Luck Chuck]] from a burning building, however the test ended in failure thanks to Hot Shot. {{storylink|Recruits Part I}} [[Whirl (RBA)|Whirl]] and Hoist unsuccessfully tried to find Hot Shot, who appeared to be headed back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], however their fellow recruit later turned up with two extra alternate modes bestowed on him by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. The recruits went on to successfully carry out a cave rescue. {{storylink|Recruits Part II}} Hoist and the other recruits got to meet [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] when the copter-bot was brought in to help tutor Hot Shot in the art of flying, and later took part in a forest fire rescue. {{storylink|The Secret of Flight}}

After a rescue turned out to be more difficult than expected, the other recruits got Hoist to create new rescue tools for them to use, including a winch whip for himself. Hoist was discouraged when the first test of the tools was a dismal failure, but the other recruits got [[Boulder (RB)|Boulder]] involved, and Hoist successfully perfected the tools. {{storylink|If at First...}} After Hot Shot was assigned to look after Tough Luck Chuck when the test robot was damaged, [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]] and Hoist found Chuck roaming the training center. Chuck managed to slip off Hoist's hook and escape through the [[GroundBridge]], forcing the Rescue Bots to hunt for him in [[Milford]]. {{storylink|Tough Luck Chuck (episode)|Tough Luck Chuck}} Bored by Chase's class on police codes, Hoist and the other recruits persuaded Chase to let them try to do a practice rescue, and ended up being rescued themselves by Whirl when they got stuck in the snow. {{storylink|Whirl'd View}} When the recruits didn't understand why Boulder was having them plant flowers, the Rescue Bot set them a task which taught them that all parts of nature are important, though Hoist had the misfortune of stepping in cow patties. {{storylink|Plan Bee}}

[[File:MissionInaudible Hoist in action.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Hoist was helping Boulder by repairing the launch tubes, when Wedge started abusing the rescue alarm for a series of drills intended to get the team's response time down. As a result, the repairs didn't get done and Wedge ended up trapped in one of the launch tubes when it malfunctioned. {{storylink|The Bot Who Cried Rescue}} The recruits had to contend with a runaway rock sculpture of Hot Shot's head when he decided to carve it into a mountain alongside the likenesses of the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Mount Botmore}} After he broke up an argument between Hot Shot and Wedge, Hoist was put in charge of a rescue exercise but had trouble getting the other recruits to follow his orders. {{storylink|Mission Inaudible}} After completing a simulated rescue, despite a glitch occurring, the recruits took part in a real rescue in Griffin Rock which was only successful because the glitch gave [[Medix (RB)|Medix]] an idea to complete it safely. {{storylink|Glitch (episode)|Glitch}}

[[File:FiveIntoFour Hoist vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|left|320px]]
After a ride on the ''[[Sigma]]'', the recruits assumed the four command chairs meant one of their number wouldn't graduate. The team went on to botch a volcano rescue drill after staying up all night worrying, until Heatwave told them they'd assumed wrong. {{storylink|Five into Four}} When Whirl was filming footage for a recruitment video, Hoist broke out his Heatwave and Optimus puppets for a brief show before falling through a GroundBridge portal to [[Outer Mongolia]]. He and the others later helped whip the footage into a usable state. {{storylink|Rescue Promo}} After a botched rescue had the recruits blaming each other, Heatwave assigned them to cleaning duties. Hot Shot sneaked out to do a rescue, and as a result, the rest of the recruits had to go help him when he hit trouble. {{storylink|Blame Game}} Hoist and the other recruits set up a surprise rescue mission for Medix, who didn't get the appeal of surprises. Unfortunately the mission did not go well, and the other recruits promised to stop with the surprises. {{storylink|Medix Surprise}}

[[File:DrivingAWedge Wes Hoist lassoo.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
The recruits got to try out some [[TX3000]]s on loan to the rescue center, and even used them during an actual rescue. {{storylink|The TX3000}} After being proclaimed hero of the hour for a rescue, Hoist was reluctant to spend time recuperating in his stasis pod, and as a result jeopardized another rescue mission with his malfunctions. {{storylink|Little Bot Peep}} During [[Lad Pioneer|Teen Pioneer]] [[Wes]]'s visit to the Academy, he and Hoist spend some time in Hero Hall practicing their skills with the lasso. {{storylink|Driving a Wedge}} Boulder accompanied the recruits to the planet [[Parvus]] where they rescued the last surviving [[Galax]]. {{storylink|The Big, Small Rescue}}

When Hot Shot and Wedge decided to compete over who was qualified to get into the [[Heroes of Cybertron (cards)|Heroes of Cybertron]] card game, Hoist acted as referee. After the competition ended in a tie, Hoist revealed he'd made custom cards for them both. {{storylink|Battle of the Bots}} Hoist and the other recruits had to round up a small rock alien that got loose in the academy. {{storylink|About a Rock}} The recruits tried to keep secret the fact a dog had followed them home after the last rescue, only to discover that the dog was actually trying to alert them to the fact they'd missed someone who needed rescuing. {{storylink|Dog Stray Afternoon}} Hoist took part in the rescue of [[Dr. Hart]] on a runaway iceberg. {{storylink|Lucky Ducky}}

Whirl tried to get Hoist and the other recruits into cheerleading, but it wasn't until they employed the skills they'd learned during a rescue that they were enthusiastic about it. {{storylink|Go Team, Go!}} When Boulder assigned the recruits the task of familiarizing themselves with smartphones, they neglected their lessons and chores, resulting in them screwing up a rescue exercise. {{storylink|Screen Time}} During a visit to the museum in Milford, Hoist and the others helped Whirl apprehend a criminal in the act of robbing the place. {{storylink|Fright at the Museum}}

[[File:AllWashedUp Hoist unveils ScrubADubber.jpg|thumb|left|350px]]
When their teachers went missing on a space mission, the recruits worked together to pilot the ''Sigma'' and mount a rescue. {{storylink|Space Case (episode)|Space Case}} Assigned the task of trash collection, Hoist souped up his garbage grabber to incorporate an electromagnet. He successfully used it to locate a shipwreck when the recruits' next mission was undersea trash collection. {{Storylink|All at Sea}} Hoist created the [[Scrub-A-Dubber]] to clean up the academy for them while the teachers were away, however the recruits plugged so many power pods into it that it became out of control and they had to trap it in Heatwave's office. {{storylink|All Washed Up}}

Heatwave suggested that the bored students try their hands at being teachers for the day. Hoist set up a driving course for Medix to demonstrate, however a sudden downpour made it trickier than intended. {{storylink|Who's Teaching Who?}} An attempt to rescue a balloon from a tree turned into a major disaster when the recruits went in without a plan. {{Storylink|Balloon Up A Tree}} During a sim exercise, Hoist was so distracted reading about dragons that Heatwave assigned the recruits a new medieval sim with a dragon in it. They first attempted to corral the dragon before realizing it was actually trying to help. {{storylink|The Mystery of Dragon Mountain}} Another sim turned into chaos thanks to Hot Shot combining it with his game, forcing the recruits to deal with giant hedgehogs. {{Storylink|Hack Attack}}

[[File:TyrannosaurusWrecked sick Hoist.jpg|thumb|right|240px]]
Hoist and the other recruits found their rescues complicated by Medix's attempts to loosen up after they suggested he was a stick in the mud. {{storylink|Life of the Party}} Hoist was unenthusiastic when it turned out [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] was joining the academy as a teacher, as he was afraid of Dinobots. He kept making excuses to skip lessons, until he discovered Grimlock was deathly afraid of cats, and pledged to work through his fear. {{storylink|Tyrannosaurus Wrecked}} Despite this, Hoist asked to be let off a trip to [[Wayward Island|Dino Island]] due to his fear of [[dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]] only to find himself stuck in the academy with a dinosaur which had come through the GroundBridge. After he bravely removed a rock stuck in its foot, it was much happier, although he still had not completely shaken his fear of dinosaurs. {{storylink|Dino Hard}}

Assigned a stealth mission by Chase, Hoist and Whirl managed to find Tough Luck Chuck hiding in a barn, but were caught by Chase after Whirl accidentally demolished the structure. {{storylink|Buddy Cop}} Another mission saw the recruits having to rescue penguins from an island the hard way after an electrical storm knocked out their tools and even their ability to transform. {{storylink|Escape from Penguin Island}} During a competitive search and rescue exercise, Hoist cheated by using an accidentally dropped map to find Chuck. He won the prize, picking an Old West sim for the recruits to do, but had to admit that he'd cheated earlier when the sim turned into another search and rescue. {{storylink|All that Glitters}} A hunt for a downed satellite resulted in the recruits hiding out backstage at [[Dig Fest (event)|Dig Fest]] while trying to signal Wedge. {{storylink|Dig Fest (episode)|Dig Fest}}

The recruits took part in [[Halloween]] festivities and ended up having to deal with a house fire. {{storylink|Trick or Treat}} Medix's confusion over a television commercial meant that the recruits had to mount a hasty coverup so he wouldn't blow their secret to all of Milford. {{storylink|Monster Savings}} Heatwave assigned Hoist the task of looking after the experimental [[Virtual Sonic Fence]], for which the recruit memorized the unlock code by remembering the tune it made. Unfortunately the tune turned out to be such an earworm it interfered with the recruits' concentration and they had to erase it from their minds. This later caused problems when they needed to use the device during a mission to [[Herboo]], but Hoist eventually succeeded in remembering the tune in time to prevent the advance of a [[karknoid beetle]]. {{storylink|Tune Out}} A trip to survey a geyser field saw the recruits having to deal with a swarm of [[Scraplet]]s. {{storylink|Metal Munchers}}

Hoist and the other recruits took part in essential maintenance as directed by Bumblebee, unlike Wedge who spent the whole time trying to impress his hero, and they were therefore fully functional for the following rescue drill. {{storylink|Bee Prepared}} When Whirl's failed attempts to do a maneuver led her to try to seek out the Wise One, the other recruits went after her and became trapped in a ravine, requiring her to rescue them using the maneuver she had been trying to perfect. {{storylink|Whirl's Wise-Bot Quest}} Hot Shot's careless actions in ejecting his junk into space had Hoist and the others following his lead, resulting an a huge junk meteor that threatened the satellite they were trying to repair. {{storylink|Flying Hunk-A-Junk}} A mission deep undersea forced the recruits to rely on each other as they rescued an automated drone from deep sea wildlife. {{storylink|Into the Depths}}

Inspired by a dog whistle, Hoist created the "talkie squawkie", a new comms device designed to not be audible to humans. Despite Heatwave insisting it needed testing before use, Hoist proceeded to test it anyway, causing problems when it turned out to drive animals crazy. {{storylink|Milford Goes To The Dogs}} The recruits struggled to complete a rescue sim until Hot Shot realized they'd been trying to stop the disaster instead of saving the people. {{Storylink|The Ice Wave}} As graduation drew closer, the recruits successful competed against their teachers in a relay race carrying a pretend rescue victim. Hoist and the others were surprised and saddened when Hot Shot opted to abandon his Rescue Bot training and return to Cybertron to compete in the Cube finals. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 1}} Wanting to watch Hot Shot's Cube game, Hoist came up with the idea of boosting the holo-emitter screen using the [[space bridge]]. This resulted in the creation of a slowly growing energon bubble which engulfed the academy. It was only when Hot Shot returned that the recruits were able to burst the bubble. The recruits were able to graduate from year one of their learning. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 2}}

[[File:MissionDinobot Hoist meets Sludge.jpg|thumb|right|280px]]
At the start of year two, the recruits returned to the Academy to find they'd been given personal spaces—Hoist got a workshop with reinforced walls in case of explosion—and would be tested to work out who they'd be assigned as a personal mentor. Hoist felt he'd be OK no matter who he was paired with, up until [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]'s [[Aptitude Analyzer]] picked Grimlock. {{storylink|Back to School}} He did his best to avoid Grimlock, however the pair were assigned a mission which, to Hoist's horror, involved them teaming up with Dinobots [[Sludge (FOC)|Sludge]] and [[Snarl (FOC)|Snarl]] to recover a crashed spaceship. Though hugely intimidated by the Dinobots, Hoist managed to stand up to them when their efforts to move the ship threatened a nearby human village, and worked out a way to safely accomplish the task. Sludge and Snarl were so impressed, they considered making him an honorary Dinobot. {{Storylink|Mission Dinobot}}

Teamed with Grimlock again, Hoist underwent Dinobot sensitivity training and rescued some kittens from a mine. He and the other recruits later rescues some foxes from a tree in a forest fire. {{storylink|In Training}} The recruits went on a trip to Cybertron to visit Ratchet's lab, which ended up being disrupted by Medix's bat [[Mister Flappy]]. {{Storylink|Medix Steps Up To The Bat}} When the recruits learned that Cody was down because he wasn't a robot like them, Hoist had the idea of building him a robotic suit. The suit worked, but Cody found it difficult to control, especially when Hoist deployed the rocket boosters while they were on a mission to catch a rogue bull. They later learned that Cody was actually just missing being able to hang out with the recruits. {{storylink|Robo-Cody}}

[[File:ActingOut Hoist as giant.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
Heatwave tasked the recruits with acting in the play [[Jack and the Beanstalk]], with Hoist scoring the role of the giant. It did mean he almost took a tumble when the stage threatened to collapse mid-performance. {{storylink|Acting Out}} Hoist and the others found Wedge's boredom was interfering with their study time. Wedge later surprised them by being enthusiastic about studying. {{storylink|Need to Know}}

After "borrowing" Grimlock's classic Cube, Hot Shot got Hoist to soup up its AI, resulting in an unstoppable Cube which escaped the Academy. Hoist was later disappointed to learn Hot Shot had not asked permission to borrow the Cube, and the recruits had to seek the Dinobot's help to recapture the device. {{storylink|Trouble Cubed}} When Heatwave let the recruits pick their favorite rescue to do, there was a substantial amount of disagreement over which to do. Hoist favored one with a dragon in, which the other recruits pointed out they'd already done. The spat eventually broke the simulation, plunging it to chaos until the five recruits worked together to fix the control unit. {{storylink|My Favorite Rescue}}

Hoist's discovery of an old newspaper article pointing to a possible energon cache in an old mine led him and Grimlock to team up with Snarl and Sludge again to search for it. Despite finding the energon, the three Dinobots managed to cause a cave-in and Hoist had to come up with a plan to get them all out of the mine. {{storylink|The Great Energon Rush}} After Ratchet got trapped in an ancient sim, the five recruits entered the sim as well. They successfully negotiated their way through a tower full of traps and rescued their teacher, completing the sim and opening the vault to find four Mul-T-Cogs and an ancient artifact. {{storylink|The Vault Of The Primes}}

Hoist built a Rube Goldberg device supervised by Boulder, and was hence too busy to help Whirl investigate a ghost. {{storylink|Wild Ghost Chase}} Following a soil-sampling mission on some dwarf planets, Hoist and the others found Medix had replanted the Galax in the academy garden, which it had promptly taken over, forcing them to relocate it to a more suitable home. {{storylink|Little Plot of Horrors}} Hoist attended the opening of the [[Museum of Future Tech Art]]. {{storylink|Museum Mystery}}

[[File:FunDroids Hoist and bunny.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
When the recruits had to rescue [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]] and [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] from the Griffin Rock lab, Hoist was lowered in through a hole Medix created so he could extract everyone. {{storylink|Partners (RBA)|Partners}} Medix's overly-harsh criticism of the other recruits made them upset at him, however his overcompensation then led them to believe they had mastered a rescue technique when they had not. {{storylink|Critical Condition}} During a visit to [[Mechapark]], Hoist won a giant stuffed bunny he dubbed Hopster Saint Hoppington, and also got stuck on a malfunctioning Ferris wheel which required a nick-of-time save from Whirl. {{storylink|Fun Droids}}

The [[Sparksayer]] gifted Hoist with a new plasma cutter which he was able to use during a volcano rescue. {{storylink|Power Up And Energize}} Cody had the five recruits learn some ballet to improve their poise and balance during rescues. {{storylink|Shall We Dance?}} Hoist and the others helped Hot Shot overcome his one-alternate-mode-per-day limitation by tricking him into thinking a sim rescue was real. {{storylink|Mul-T-Change of Pace}} During a camping trip on [[Natura Island]], Hoist and the others were transported to a junkyard by the island's security system, necessitating a rescue by Whirl and Chase. {{storylink|Five Little Rescue Bots}} Hoist was annoyed at Hot Shot for messing up his museum, however it later turned out that Hot Shot had been attacked by a diagnostic tool unleashed by Medix. {{storylink|Good Advice}}

[[File:BigWheels dino-mode Hoist.jpg|thumb|left|290px]]
After a campout, the recruits noticed Hot Shot was acting oddly and eventually worked out his comm transmitter had fallen out, resulting in them having to go back for it and rescuing a bear cub in the process. {{storylink|Campfire Fright}} Hot Shot persuaded the other recruits to test out the new Mul-T-Cogs from the vault, only for them to discover that the cogs weren't charged enough and they could no longer transform. Hot Shot successfully fully activated them at the cost of his own ability to transform, at least until Hoist and the others found they could return the favor and use their cogs to reactivate his. {{storylink|Small Cogs}} Hoist had trouble deciding on what to scan for his new alternate mode and decided to consult Grimlock. This perhaps predictably resulted in him scanning a dinosaur alternate mode. {{storylink|Big Wheels}}

While reviewing a hologram of live star activity, Hoist and Medix spotted a distress beacon, leading Heatwave to send the recruits on their first solo off-world mission. The mission took them to a deserted city where Hoist's tracking device was less than useful and he came up with the idea of following a star, which led them to find Scorch's Cube team under attack from the architecture, and they eventually discovered that the city itself was a long-lost [[Titan (group)|Titan]], [[Citadel Secundus]]. {{storylink|The Empty City}} After taking part in Mentor Training Day with Grimlock, Hoist teamed up with his mentor again for a "rescue-athon". {{storylink|First Responder}}

Boulder assigned the recruits the task of training Scraplets, which they attempted unsuccessfully for a while before giving up. During a subsequent mission to prevent a power plant from exploding down, it turned out Medix had managed to train the Scraplets after all, saving the day. {{storylink|How To Train Your Scraplet}} Hoist took part in a window washing rescue sim, and helped extinguish fires in [[Crook's Canyon]]. {{storylink|Helicopter Heroes}} He and the other recruits were dispatched to [[Australia]] to help [[Brushfire (RB)|Brushfire]] with some [[kangaroo]]s, and ended up fighting fires. {{storylink|Brushfire (episode)|Brushfire}} He was present when Whirl arrived back at base with the stasis locked Scorch. {{storylink|The Ties That Bind (episode)|The Ties That Bind}}

[[File:ThingsThatGoBot sleepless Hoist.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Hoist took part in a bus rescue exercise, and later used his dino mode to help save a tree on Dino Island from a falling butte. {{storylink|Bot Blog}} When the recruits recovered [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]] from a stricken ship, Hoist was hesitant about helping a [[Decepticon]], at least until Wedge revealed that he had originally been created as a Decepticon. {{storylink|More Than Meets The Eye (RBA)|More Than Meets The Eye}} Hoist began waking up from stasis still tired, to the point that it was affecting his work. When he found the lab trashed, he and Whirl investigated and came to the conclusion that Sludge and Snarl were at fault, only for Hoist to later realize that ''he'' had been transforming to dino mode and rampaging in his sleep. {{storylink|Things That Go Bot In The Night}}

During some lessons by Perceptor, Hoist rescued people from a cable car by tightrope walking with a girder. He and the other recruits later had to rescue Medix when their fellow recruit ran into trouble trying to impress the teacher. {{Storylink|Medix Gets Schooled}} He and the other recruits experienced jealousy when a group of teens began carrying out rescues in Milford and getting press. {{storylink|Rescue Teens}}

Perceptor sent the recruits to [[Sifrolicous-5]] to discover why the planet changed color, and they found [[mudlubber]]s, who turned out to be exactly suited to the environment. {{storylink|Enter The Flood}} Hoist took part in a cow rescue, during which Whirl was injured and had to spend time recovering in a stasis pod. {{storylink|Wizard Of Botz}} Hoist practiced lifting weights in dino mode while Grimlock spotted him. {{storylink|The Tracker}} When Hot Shot was assigned the task of maintenance on Hero Hall, the other recruits were skeptical of his abilities and Hoist attempted to do the work for him. As a result, Hoist screwed up and allowed creatures to escape the simulation. Though the pair did their best to recover the creatures without anyone knowing, a dragon menacing Milford was a bit much and forced them to come clean to Heatwave. Fortunately Hoist was able to reprogram the dragon into a blimp so they could safely return it to the academy. {{storylink|One Of Our Dragons Is Missing}}

[[File:DontBeAlarmed Hoist and friend.jpg|thumb|left|280px]]
Hoist and the other recruits were taken on a field trip by Perceptor to a tropical island to study volcanoes. {{storylink|Dino-mite Duo}} They joined Heatwave in responding to a vague message from Citadel Secundus, only to find the Titan was just in need of some company. {{storylink|The Lonely Titan}} The recruits teamed up with [[Finn O'Reilly]] to follow the clues on a [[Holokey]]. They expected treasure, but instead found a hidden cache of [[Tox-En]]. {{Storylink|X Marks The Bot}} Hoist, Medix and Whirl helped Hot Shot modify the racing track so they could help Wedge get used to moving at speed. {{storylink|Making Tracks (RBA)|Making Tracks}} During a mission to [[Krimol]], Hoist ended up falling into a crevasse thanks to the dust kicks up by the other recruits. With most of his tools damaged, he had to sit and wait until the others found him. {{storylink|Don't Be Alarmed}} Heatwave had Hoist and the other recruits retrieve toxic barrels from the seabed and rescue Jerry in order to teach them to exercise more restraint in using their power up tools. {{Storylink|Powerless}}

After discovering that Medix was into DJ Mechmaster's electronic music, the recruits joined him in rescuing the DJ during a charity concert in Griffin Rock, and even took part in the show masquerading as stage props. {{storylink|Griffin Rock Rocks!}} Hoist and the other recruits watched from the Academy as Chuck and Hot Shot entered the Bot Battle event at Dig Fest. {{storylink|Bot Battle}}

Despite Hoist's fears, the recruits passed their final test of year two with little trouble, and were treated to a party aboard Citadel Secundus afterwards. Unfortunately midway through the party, the Titan was hit by an asteroid which created an anti-energon field, knocking out Hoist and most of the rest of the party-goers. {{storylink|Space Party}} He and Medix were revived by Wedge with the use of shield emitters, and the trio worked to get Secundus into receive mode to prevent the Titan crashing into Earth. Crisis over, the recruits were thrown a graduation ceremony. {{Storylink|Crash Of The Titan}}

*'''Hoist the Tow-Bot''' (2012)
:Part of the fifth wave of the original ''Rescue Bots'' toyline, Hoist transforms from robot into a tow truck. Pulling the tow truck's hook up converts him back into a robot.

: The wave with Hoist and [[Medix (RB)|Medix]] was originally a bit scarce on retail shelves (though it hit [[Target]] clearance in some places), and as such the two demanded some hefty prices on the secondary market thanks to a surge of interest in the line as a result of the [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|cartoon)]]. However, there must have been a warehouse find or something, as [[eBay]] sellers eventually started listing them in large numbers for roughly original retail.

: This figure was redecoed and given a new head to create the [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#RBOPAmazonExclusive|tow-truck version of Optimus Prime]], currently an Amazon-exclusive.

[[File:RB-toy HoistRescan.jpg|right|thumb|300px|[[Neon]]!]]
*'''Hoist the Tow-Bot''' (Rescan Series, 2016)

:Part of the eleventh wave of "Rescan" figures (second wave of the 2016 assortment), Hoist is a re-working of his original toy in a smaller scale. He transforms from robot to tow truck (and back) in a single step, activated by swinging his legs down (or up), which swings out (or in) his arms and head. His tow-winch is adjustable and can ''in theory'' tow another toy in vehicle mode, but the hook sits pretty dang close to his rear bumper and prevents some toys from hooking up with him; [[Quickshadow#Rescue Bots|Quickshadow]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#RescanCar|Bumblebee]] both work for this.

:He has [[5 mm post|5 mm post-holes]] on his tow-winch and both sides of his fists, though the ones on the bottoms of his fists have considerably more clearance for large "accessories" like the [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)#Mini-Cons|''Rescue Bots'' Mini-Cons]].

:This figure was retooled into [[#AcadRescTeam|"Academy Rescue Team" Hoist]] featuring a color scheme more in line with his on-screen appearance in the ''Rescue Bots Academy'' show.

{{anchor|AcadRescTeam}}
[[File:RBA-AcademyRescueTeam-boxed.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.67]]
*'''Academy Rescue Team''' (2019)

: The first ''Academy''-branded Hoist is a redeco and retool of the earlier [[#Rescan|Rescan]] version of Hoist, now cast in colors more closely resembling his on-screen appearance in the ''Rescue Bots Academy'' show. First revealed at Toy Fair 2019,<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/events/gallery.php?event_id=621 Seibertron.com - Toy Fair 2019: Transformers Rescue Bots Academy Photogallery]</ref> he features a new head, new vehicle mode traybed, and revised waist and legs, turning him into a 6-wheeled flatbed tow truck. Hoist comes in a set of four, similar to the previous "[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)#Rescan Series|Griffin Rock Rescue Team]]", with [[Whirl (RBA)#AcadRescTeam|Whirl]] (retool of VTOL jet version of Blades), [[Hot Shot (Prime)#AcadRescTeam|Hot Shot]] (retool of Rock Rescue Team Bumblebee) and [[Wedge (RBA)#AcadRescTeam|Wedge]] (retool of cement mixer Salvage).

*'''Hoist the Tow-Bot''' (2019)

:This version of Hoist is sized similarly to the previous Megabots line, and at about 11 inches tall is in scale with the previously released [[Whirl (RBA)#Rescue Bots Academy|helicopter-mode Whirl]], [[Medix (RB)#Rescue Bots Academy|car-mode Medix]] and [[Wedge (RBA)#Payloader|payloader-mode Wedge]], transforming into a tow-truck in a couple of "Easy 2 Do Conversion" steps. He features a "tow-line" gimmick in his left arm; the winch on said arm actually works and has a hook, and can be retracted on a spring by pressing the left side of his front bumper.

:Like the other ''Academy'' figures at the same scale, Hoist is functionally an up-sized version of a previous toy; in this case, his own original and Rescan-sized figures.

==Notes==
[[File:RBHoist-packageart.jpg|thumb]]
* The original Hoist's ''Rescue Bots'' [[package art]] shows him teamed with an unnamed human partner in the shape, but not colors, of the original [[Charlie Burns#Toys|Charlie Burns figure]]. This character never materialized as a toy.
*In his ''Robots in Disguise'' cameo, Hoist is depicted as a recolor of [[Trailbreaker (Prime)|Trailbreaker]] with a different head and shoulder-fins inspired by his Generation 1 [[Hoist (G1)|counterpart]].
* Hoist's Rescan series artwork is a trace-over of the original rendered in style to match the cartoon's look. It also omits the human partner and changes a handful of details to line up more with the new toy.
* Compared to the final version, Hoist's [[:File:Rescue Bots Academy Hoist.jpg|initial character model]] for ''Rescue Bots Academy'' featured black wrist panels instead of green, no silver shoulder hubcaps, different leg stripe placements, and silver ear disks instead of black. The coloring for his vehicle mode also resembles his original toy much more.
* If the recruits were to have an official age order, [[Pete Slattery]] would write Hoist as the second youngest.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Okay, a few questions! The Bots are mid teens if they were human-like. Say 14 in year 1,15 year 2.

Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (toyline)

2024-07-09T00:34:12Z

Creativeking: Added Mini Bot Racers section

{{Nav-RescueBotsAcademy}}
The ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (franchise)|Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy]]'' toyline is released under [[Hasbro]]'s [[Playskool Heroes]] brand, the latest of many ''Transformers'' lines to be aimed at the preschool demographic.

The line, which began in late [[2018]], is of course a sequel to the ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)|Transformers: Rescue Bots]]'' toyline.

==Standard retail toys==
===Rescan===
The smaller Rescan figures are held over from the original ''Rescue Bots'' toyline. Aside from [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]]'s hovercraft and jet forms, the vehicles forms for all the recruits weren't their standard ones, often instead being slightly retooled from older ''Rescue Bots'' toys. The show-accurate designs instead debuted with [[#Featured|larger toys]], that were in a few cases downscaled to Rescan size for various boxed releases. The first few figures debuted as part of the original assortment–VTOL Hot Shot and plow Wedge featured the original packaging with the addition of an ''Academy'' logo—while both Hot Shot and Medix debuted the redesigned packaging that would go on to be used for the new assortment. The new assortment also includes re-released figures from the previous one; for simplicity, this list includes only the new toys.

:''Heatwave the Fire-Bot is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Rescue Bots]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[Image:HeatwaveTheFireBot_poster.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Note: Toy may look nothing like TV show character.]]

The team leader of the [[Rescue Bot]]s, '''Heatwave''' was given his position because of how deeply he cares for his team and their mission. However, he is a bot of action at heart who dreams of one day joining [[Team Prime]], and sometimes has little patience for anything he sees as getting in the way of his mission, including staying in disguise as non-sentient vehicles and working with [[human]] partners.

When he goes into action, though, no blaze is too strong for his armor. With built-in water cannons, a rescue hook, and a fireman's axe, he's well prepared to take on the most stubborn fires and most intense rescue missions. He partners with the other Rescue Bots and with their newest human teammates, [[Kade Burns|Kade]] and [[Cody Burns]], though he and Kade are frequently at odds as their egos clash.

==Fiction==
===Storybooks===
[[File:PrimeAlert Heatwave rolls out.jpg|thumb|left|260px|]]
Heatwave was the leader of the Rescue Bot team on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. They received a message from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] to join him on [[Earth]], and immediately hopped in their spaceship. On arrival on the new planet, Optimus gave him a new alternate mode, a fire truck, and they headed for [[Griffin Rock]]. [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] accidentally chopped down a tree with his rotors, requiring some quick work by the rest of the team to prevent more damage. They finally reached their destination, where Optimus introduced them to [[Charlie Burns|Chief Charlie]]. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Roll Out}} Heatwave's first mission was to go to the [[Fire Safety Training Center]] for training, and there he rescued a cat and extinguished a fire. He soon after received an emergency alert from [[Fire Station Prime|Prime Fire Station]], and rushed back across town to find the station on fire. After rescuing Chief Charlie and [[Cody Burns]], he and Cody became partners, and were assigned the important task of giving [[Sparkplug (RB)|Sparkplug]] a bath. {{storylink|Prime Alert}}

After the team at the station were joined by Blades, the two Rescue Bots and Cody headed out to another emergency, however Blades's radio was damaged, making it difficult for Heatwave to give him orders. While Heatwave battled the forest fire, Blades accidentally fanned the fire with his rotors until Heatwave and Cody were able to shoo him away. Blades discovered where his partner and the other endangered humans were, and led Heatwave to them. Heatwave and Cody were able to finish putting out the fire, and returned to Prime Fire Station covered in soot. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Respond}} [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and [[Boulder]] later arrived at the station to complete the team, and Heatwave and Blades were there to welcome them. {{storylink|Rapid Rescue}}

[[File:UnfinishedBusiness protoHeatwave.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rock Em' Sock Em' Rescue Bot.]]
On Cybertron, Heatwave was a three time [[Cybertronian sport#Lobbing|Lobbing]] champion. {{storylink|Road Trip}}

Heatwave and his team were finishing a routine patrol in space when they received a distress call. Investigating, they found they'd been marked as lunch by an [[Energon eater]], and had to put themselves in stasis and power down their ship to escape it. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}} Sometime later, the ''[[Sigma]]'' received a transmission from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and landed on [[Earth]]. After dropping the bombshell that [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was no more, Optimus appointed Heatwave team leader and assigned them to [[Griffin Rock]] to work with the Burns family. The four Rescue Bots were presented to the public by [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] at a ceremony, following which Heatwave and his new partner, [[Kade Burns]], drove to the [[Griffin Rock natural history museum|museum]] to attend to a fire. Heatwave was disgruntled when Kade took the credit for his saving Chief Burns and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] from a falling dinosaur statue head. That night, [[Cody Burns]] discovered the Rescue Bots' secret, and after they helped stop a rogue robot ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', Chief Burns revealed the truth to the rest of the team. {{storylink|Family of Heroes}}

[[Image:FamilyOfHeroes Heatwave roll to the rescue.jpg|thumb|left|350px|My head looks nothing like my toy, that's how much of a rebel I am!]]
Heatwave and Kade continued having trouble working together, with Kade even preferring to drive a non-transforming firetruck. After [[Mount Magma]] started spewing lava and threatening the island, the pair were forced to work together, driving through a tunnel under the island to stop the lava from reaching the bunker under the fire station. {{storylink|Under Pressure}} Following the rescue of [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]], Heatwave felt under-appreciated by the humans. He was amused when [[Dani Burns|Dani]] fitted a scoop claw to [[Blades (RB)|Blades]], but less so when the pair started upstaging the other Rescue Bots at rescues, and even threatened to forcibly remove the device from his comrade. Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots came to Blades's rescue when he was struck by lightning and unable to fly, after which Dani sent some appreciation their way and Blades promised not to use the claw as much. {{storylink|Hotshots}}

[[Image:FlobstersOnParade Heatwave with children.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Urge to kill...rising...]]
After another rescue of Doc Greene, Heatwave was still disgruntled and refused to take part in the [[Lobster and Technology Festival]], instead staying back at the fire station to watch it on TV. When the town was attacked by [[flobster]]s, he ventured out to help the other Rescue Bots fight the flying critters, resulting in him later having to endure being climbed on by children. {{storylink|Flobsters on Parade}} Following the rescue of a truck of hazardous materials, Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots were subjected to a screening of ''[[The Natives of Tatooie]]'', which accidentally resulted in [[Huxley Prescott]] causing a mass panic by reporting an alien invasion. The Rescue Bots had to destroy Prescott's [[SETI]] dish to save the island. {{storylink|The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock}}

Heatwave's attempt to stop [[Harrison (RB)|Mr. Harrison]]'s heli-pack ride with water only resulted in an umbrella shop being flooded. When [[Boulder]] was taken over by nanites, Heatwave threatened to physically intervene, though Blades suspected Boulder would come out on top in that match-up. {{storylink|Cody on Patrol}}

Called out about a cat in a tree, Heatwave saved [[Neederlander|Mrs. Neederlander]] when she fell out of a tree, and was rewarded with a slap in the face. The next day, he helped hunt a [[Whiskers|lion]] and return a bunch of lemurs to the [[Griffin Rock Zoo|zoo]]. {{storylink|Walk on the Wild Side}} When a rescue went wrong, Heatwave managed to fish Kade and [[Don|another human]] out of a river using his fire hose. Cody roped the Rescue Bots, including "Uncle Heatwave", into helping him look after a [[Robo-Baby]]. The Robo-Baby seemed to like Heatwave best of all. After the baby went missing during a call-out, the bots had to rescue it from a wind farm. Heatwave caught it in mid-air after it fell from a windmill. {{storylink|Four Bots and a Baby}}

[[Image:DeepTrouble Heatwave jumps shark.jpg|thumb|left|290px|"Just keep swimming...just keep swimming..."]]
During a heatwave, Heatwave did not appreciate being used as a sprinkler. When a weather machine went out of control, he and the other Rescue Bots had to spring into action attending snow-related emergencies around town. {{storylink|Christmas in July}} Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots were invited on the Burns' annual fishing trip on the ''[[Darby Ava]]''. Heatwave didn't really get the whole fishing thing until they encountered a [[shark submarine|mechanical shark]] and he got to wrestle it. He, [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and Boulder eventually managed to disable the sub, though it self-destructed soon after. {{storylink|Deep Trouble (RB)|Deep Trouble}}

The Rescue Bots had to help stop out-of-control technology one foggy day, when the Griffin Rock mainframe was hacked into. Heatwave had to rescue the mayor from the town hall when a garbage truck trapped him inside. {{storylink|Return of the Dino Bot}} When [[Doctor Morocco]] turned up with his [[MorBot]] and threatened to overshadow the Rescue Bots, the team was forced to compete with the doctor's invention to prove themselves worthy. Thanks to Morocco's machinations, they failed and were stood down from service. Heatwave was particularly angry at the loss. {{storylink|The Other Doctor}} Accepting defeat, he attempted to make contact with Optimus Prime to get reassigned and considered getting their ship working again. After being called out to a fire at the lab, the Rescue Bots got the chance to exact some payback on the MorBot. The team was subsequently reinstated as Griffin Rock's rescue service. {{storylink|The Reign of Morocco}}

[[Image:SmallBlessings Kade rescues Hayley.jpg|thumb|right|260px|Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.]]
After helping Kade rescue [[Hayley]], a girl Kade was interested in, Heatwave was annoyed by Kade blowing him off to go on a date. When he and the rest of the team turned up to a break-in at the [[Hall of Inspiration]], Heatwave was forced to protect Kade and as a result was shrunk to the size of an ant by the [[Minimizer]]. He was joined by the similarly shrunken Boulder and Blades, and the trio ended up in the sewer. After braving huge rats and a torrent of water, they made it to the [[Griffin Rock dam]], where they rescued Kade and alerted the rest of the team to the fact that the dam was near bursting. Cody later used the Minimizer to return them to their normal sizes. {{storylink|Small Blessings}} Heatwave helped save [[Wild (RB)|Captain Wild]]'s ship and found "tunnel 15" in the tunnels below Griffin Rock. This led the team to discover [[Anna Baranova|Professor Baranova]]'s ''[[Midgard]]'' at the bottom of an ocean trench, and they helped her seal the methane vent causing the [[Griffin Rock Triangle]]. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Triangle}}

After the daring rescue of Huxley Prescott by the four bots, Chief left them with Kade in charge, however when they got an apparent SOS from Cody and Kade was unable to be contacted, Heatwave made the decision to disobey the Chief's orders and venture into [[Griffin Crest]]. He, Blades and Boulder were subsequently caught by the [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] field there and immobilized on top of [[Old Parker]], necessitating a rescue by Chase and the human half of the team. He was forced to concede that sticking to the rules sometimes worked. {{storylink|Rules and Regulations}} Heatwave and the other three Bots were washed out to sea with Cody and ended up on an inhabited island. Their attempts to build him shelter and gather food were less than successful, but they did manage to find traces of the ''[[Oaken Crow]]'', which led to them finding the ship and getting off the island. {{storylink|The Lost Bell}}

[[Image:YouveBeenSquilshed Heatwave wields telephone pole.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Heatwave doesn't just throw javelins, he throws ''electrified'' javelins!]]
Chasing a crashed meteorite on [[Wayward Island]], the team ran into [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]. Heatwave, Boulder and Chase checked out the meteorite and were unwittingly exposed to an alien virus. They slowly lost the ability to move or speak, and it was only through the work of Bumblebee, Blades and the humans that a cure was found. {{storylink|Bumblebee to the Rescue (RB)|Bumblebee to the Rescue}} Heatwave and the team were called out to deal with a giant rampaging blob of space slime. He was particularly incensed when it ate Chase, and though his water didn't help stop the blob, he found zapping it with electricity did, and the discovery ultimately led to the [[Squilsh]]'s defeat. {{storylink|You've Been Squilshed}}

After most of the town disappeared, Heatwave and the other Bots found themselves fighting small mechanical bugs. He took Cody, [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] and Kade to the lab so they could check the information on the computer there, but after all three of them vanished as well, it was up to Heatwave and his team to work out where the humans had been teleported to. After locating the cavern in question, they were able to rescue the townsfolk. {{storylink|Countdown (RB)|Countdown}} When Griffin Rock was infested by what appeared to be ghosts, Heatwave was mostly just frustrated that he couldn't hit them. When they turned out to just be holograms, he took great delight in catching the perpetrators by hosing them down to work out which were the real humans. {{storylink|The Haunting of Griffin Rock}}

[[Image:ShakeUp Heatwave protects Frankie.jpg|thumb|right|280px|If he slips and falls, Heatwave'd have a ''looot'' of explaining to do about the red stain on his windscreen.]]
When Kade challenged Graham to a race, Heatwave did the driving and ended up demolishing a fire hydrant. After Chase and the Chief went missing, Heatwave and the others searched all night for them, eventually tracking them down to the lead mine where the team had to rescue them. {{storylink|Little White Lies}} Heatwave was annoyed when Kade ordered the Bots to take part in Frankie's film for school. The Bots soon had problems attending to an earthquake and acting like robots at the same time, but when Frankie followed them into the tunnels under the town, Heatwave had to come rescue her from a cave-in. In the process of doing so, he had to drop his cover, but she was passed out and didn't notice. {{storylink|Shake Up}} After Heatwave took part in a rescue at a pyrotechnics factory, Cody got a [[repulsor badge]] that gave him superhero powers. The Bots ended up being relegated to cleanup, at least until the badge overloaded and they had to rescue Cody from a bubble of energy. {{storylink|Rescue Boy}}

Heatwave was roped into taking part in a photo op with Kade. When the four bots attended the testing of a [[Temporal Station|time machine]], he sheltered Cody and Frankie, and thus when the four Bots were propelled back in time to [[1939]], so were the kids. Heatwave had the rest of his team keep up the pretense of being robots, and they were subjected to a number of tests before Morocco pinned them to a wall and prepared to dissect them. Luckily Optimus and Bumblebee came to their rescue, and the team returned to the present, only to find that Morocco was in control of Griffin Rock. {{storylink|It's a Bot Time}} They soon established that leaving [[Dither]] in the past was a mistake. After an encounter with an alternate version of the Burns family, the Rescue Bots returned to 1939 and retrieved Dither, returning the timeline to normal. {{storylink|Bot to the Future}}

[[File:RoadTrip Heatwave vs bear.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Man, those Junior Woodchuck roaring lessons came in real handy!]]
Heatwave soon learned to drive the newly-acquired [[Mobile Headquarters]], using it to stop a speeding driver. An incident with Doc Greene's [[Vacuum Accelerator]] resulted in the Mobile HQ and three of the Rescue Bots being teleported around the island. After a stop atop [[Mount Griffin]], Heatwave threw the device away, only to find they needed it to rescue Kade from the forest. {{storylink|Road Trip}} The Rescue Bots helped construct Frankie Greene's [[Sky Forest (structure)|Sky Forest]], only to have to rescue the town's citizens when the plant life grew out of control. {{storylink|Sky Forest (episode)|Sky Forest}} When Chief Burns was ill, Heatwave had to contend with Kade appointing himself head honcho, and Cody being accidentally aged into an adult in a lab experiment. He helped track down Evan and Myles, and was amused when Kade was temporarily de-aged into a child by the equipment they'd stolen. {{storylink|One for the Ages}}

When an iceberg was discovered that was actually a frozen [[S.S. Isolde|ship]] carrying a dangerous [[Sub-Zero Expander]], Heatwave took part in an attempt to get rid of the device by blowing it up, which was aborted when it turned out Doctor Morocco had claimed the vessel as salvage. The team had to deal with the fallout when the device exploded and froze a five-mile section of ocean. {{storylink|Tip of the Iceberg}} After the Bots saved a skier when a huge snow storm hit Griffin Rock, Heatwave scolded Blades for not helping him evade an avalanche. When Blades and Cody got trapped in ''[[Griffin Rock Element Quest]]'', a new virtual reality game in the Hall of Inspiration, Heatwave made sure the power didn't go out by holding two electrical lines together, which caused him to be temporarily dazed after being electrocuted. He later entered the game himself and was surprised to see that Blades was protecting Cody very well. He helped the two defeat the game and was teleported out. Heatwave later commended Blades for his courage. {{storylink|A Virtual Disaster}}

[[File:BlameTheGremlins Heatwave tells off Kade.jpg|thumb|right|250px|If one of you fed those things after midnight, we're ''gonna have a bad time!'']]
Heatwave was confused and irritated by Kade ignoring emergency calls about fires, until he was hypnotized by one of the cellphones which were bringing the island's inhabitants under their control. Heatwave was forced to dig up [[Blossom Vale]] until the cell tower was destroyed. {{storylink|Spellbound}} Huxley Prescott roped the rescue team into taking part in a reality show, but started manufacturing his emergencies to make the show more exciting. As a result, Heatwave ran out of water to fight a forest fire, and had to use maple syrup instead. {{storylink|Prescott's Bots}} When Kade's nightmares about [[gremlin]]s started affecting his work, Heatwave told him to deal with them. Unfortunately this ended with the team having to face a horde of [[gremlin]]s, conjured from Kade's nightmares by Doc Greene's [[Nightmare Imaging Device]]. {{storylink|Blame the Gremlins}}

When a monster was spotted during a star-gazing expedition with Cody, Heatwave was doused with skunk smell. He and the other Rescue Bots helped Cody hunt for the beast, resulting in an encounter with it at an old cannery. It transpired that the "Magic Meat" that [[H.B. Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] had been selling was [[Fo-Foo]], an experimental food with lycanthropic side effects, and the team had to track down Luskey and Graham who were both infected. {{storylink|Feed the Beast}}

[[File:SpaceBots Heatwave flying in space.jpg|thumb|left|280px|Y'know, that scene in WALL-E was so much more ''effective'' with a partner.]]
During a visit by [[Woodrow Burns]], Heatwave realized a photo he'd taken of a cavern showed [[energon]], and alerted Optimus. Once Optimus arrived to help mine the energon, the mission instead turned into a rescue, as Woodrow and Cody had become trapped in a cavern deep underground. {{storylink|What Lies Below}} Separated from the rest of the team, Optimus and Heatwave discovered the main shaft of Mount Magma, and nearby, a sizable deposit of energon. When they were later reunited with the rest of the team, they were able to ignite the energon in a plan to blast themselves out of the top of the volcano. Optimus later farewelled the Rescue Bots, informing Heatwave that he should prepare for greater responsibility some time soon. {{storylink|What Rises Above}}

Following the launch of the ''[[Asgard]]'' and its collision with an asteroid, Heatwave and the team had to intercept debris falling on the town. The Rescue Bots fired up their spaceship and went up to rescue the crew of the ''Asgard'', with Heatwave himself jumping over to the space elevator and retrieving Doc Greene and Graham. {{storylink|Space Bots}} When the team had to deal with a [[mechanical bull]], they discovered it was made hostile by Heatwave's red color scheme. They managed to get it to the laboratory where Cody was accidentally sent with it to the [[Island of Misfit Tech]]. Heatwave volunteered to travel there, but quickly lost his recall tag and ended up fighting metal-eating insects until Cody came to the rescue with the help of the mechanical bull. Joined by Kade, the trio were able to return to Griffin Rock in time to help deal with a Scrapmaster. {{storylink|The Island of Misfit Tech}}

[[File:BuddySystem Heatwave and snake.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Alright, who's the wiseguy who tried to replace my hose with a live snake?!]]
The town's new central computer [[Vigil]] was unable to control the four Rescue Bots, so when it attempted to take control of Griffin Rock, the Bots were able to get the rest of the team into its vault to stop it. {{storylink|The Vigilant Town}} Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots went along on a nature hike, however when the hike was interrupted by a snake infestation in town, Heatwave was forced to put up with Kade and Dani bickering and discovered he had a particular dislike of snakes. {{storylink|Buddy System}} Heatwave, Blades and Boulder accompanied Graham and Cody to Wayward Island, where they discovered a lodestone super-magnet that was causing metal objects to be pulled towards it all the way from Griffin Rock. {{storylink|In Search of the Griffin's Nest}}

[[File:Changes Heatwave as boat.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Sooo, does this make me a Triple-Changer?]]
When Chase appeared to join Evan and Myles during a crime spree by the pair, Heatwave believed that he'd switched sides. It later turned out Chase had merely gone undercover to learn the pair's plan, though as Heatwave later pointed out, he should have let them know. {{storylink|Bots and Robbers}} Following the rescue of a dog, Heatwave was confused by the concept of dog ownership, until [[Noble (RB)|Noble]] turned out to be a capable rescuer who joined the Rescue Bots in their work. {{storylink|Rescue Dog}} Called to the mainland by Optimus Prime, Heatwave received additional training, allowing him to focus his energies in preparation to take on a third mode. As he and Kade headed back to Griffin Rock, he ended up scanning a sunken fire boat in order to come to the aid of the rest of the team. {{storylink|Changes}}

After a sea rescue Heatwave took part in resulted in everyone's midwinter holiday presents sinking to the bottom of the ocean, Heatwave and the rest of the team took on the mantle of the [[Rider of Midwinter]] and delivered loaves of bread to the townsfolk. {{storylink|The Riders of Midwinter}} When a [[Power Planter]] was struck by lightning and ran wild, the team was forced to respond to a number of emergencies caused by it. They eventually succeeded in luring it into a trap using [[Boil Coil]]s and Heatwave tricked it into driving off a cliff. {{storylink|Movers and Shakers}} During Chief Burns's absence from the island, the team found itself under Woodrow's leadership. {{storylink|Chief Woodrow}}

While the other Rescue Bots prepared for Bumblebee's visit, Heatwave utilized his new boat mode to help Cody and Frankie test Doc Greene's new [[Ski-neakers]], and rescued the pair when a wave threatened them. Bumblebee turned out to be on the hunt for a relic, and Heatwave helped in the search. Afterwards he and Kade helped rescue people when a right whale sank the ferry. {{storylink|Odd Bot Out}} The rescue team was roped into completing a rail tunnel to the mainland, mainly because Mayor Luskey regarded the Bots as heavy machinery. When the [[Griffin Rock Express]] went out of control, the Bots had to rescue everyone on board, with the help of Frankie and her phasing technology. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Express}}

[[File:OddBotOut Heatwave rescues Chase.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Heatwave's attempt at wearing a feather boa didn't quite go as planned.]]
Following a game of [[Rescue Ball]] which was interrupted by an impromptu rescue, Chase and the others found that Blades was acting strangely. They discovered why when they were abducted by Dr. Morocco and replaced by duplicates as Blades had been earlier. Morocco erased their memories and convinced them he had been appointed their Earth liaison by Optimus Prime. The Rescue Bots were promptly sent on a mission to mine gold under Griffin Rock, which barely got started before they trigged a methane explosion, and were confronted by the "criminal" Burns family. {{storylink|Double Villainy}}

The suspicious Bots were taken back to the fire house, where the evidence soon convinced them that the Burns family was on their side and they'd been misled by Morocco. Unfortunately the methane explosion cause the island to begin to sink, and given the choice between helping out or regaining their memories, the Bots chose the former option, though at least Heatwave was restored to his position as team leader. With the help of some tech from Doc Greene, the team was able to raise the island once again, and Morocco was forced to restore their memories. {{storylink|Rise of the Heroes}}

During a routine inspection by Optimus, Heatwave led his team to Wayward Island to investigate a pterodactyl appearance. The Rescue Bots found a group of dinosaurs which chased them into a tar pit, and they had to be rescued by Optimus Prime. Once they established what the dinosaurs were upset about, the team was able to get them to return to the underground cavern they'd come from. {{storylink|Land Before Prime (episode)|Land Before Prime}} When Optimus was abducted by big game hunter [[Quint Quarry]], Heatwave, Chase and Blades headed to Quarry's island to mount a rescue. The hunter managed to trap them in a cage and was about to take them off the island in his heli-jet when Optimus and Boulder came to their aid. {{storylink|Big Game}}

[[File:TooManyKades Heatwave buffs himself.jpg|thumb|left|260px|Where's [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] when you need him?]]
Kade's obnoxious behavior led Heatwave to "accidentally" soak him while the team was rounding up clones of Mister Pettypaws created by the Imaging Device. Shortly thereafter another test of the device resulted int the creation of four more Kades, and Heatwave was amused when the Kades argued amongst themselves, though not so much when their squabbling almost caused an accident. The Kades later saved Heatwave and the rest of the team from a gas leak. {{storylink|Too Many Kades}} The team was sent ten years forward in time when they boarded the ''[[S.S. Phantom Voyager]]'', however Boulder and Graham were able to reverse the time machine stored in the ship's hold, returning them to present day. {{storylink|Phantom of the Sea}}

Heatwave related the story of the Energon eater to Cody one story night. Following a flooding disaster, Heatwave allowed Chase and Boulder to go into space to attempt to help the stricken ship that had sent out the original distress call, and had to attempt to cover for the pair in their absence. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}} After the town was sealed inside an energy dome by Vigil, Heatwave and the others pursued the AI to try to beat it to the dome controls in the lab, but both Heatwave and Boulder ended up stuck under old cars in the scrapyard. {{storylink|No Place Like Dome}}

[[File:BotTasticVoyage Heatwave sits on sofa.jpg|thumb|right|280px|...Where's the remote?]]
In addition to helping Graham with his love life, Heatwave and the rest of the team had to deal with mutant metal-eating army ants courtesy of Doctor Morocco. {{storylink|Bugs in the System}} During a trip on the space elevator Asgard, Heatwave switched bodies with Kade, allowing him to experience the delights of toothaches and human dentistry. He was very relieved when they got switched back. {{storylink|Switcheroo}} When Kade accidentally ingested [[scrubmite]]s, Heatwave and the rest of the team were shrunk to microscopic size and flew the ''Sigma'' into his body to deal with the critters. Heatwave had fun roping the mites, but when they were forced to strap them to the hull of the ship, he had to prevent them escaping before the ship could leave Kade's body. {{storylink|Bot-Tastic Voyage}}

Following Professor Baranova's abduction at the hands of Colonel Quarry, Heatwave scanned a ''Brachiosaurus'' alternate mode so that he and the others, including Optimus, could masquerade as the Dino-bots Quarry wanted Doc Greene to build. They were taken to an island by Quarry and put through their paces, before he took them to a boat so he could ship them off to be sold. Luckily Blades, who'd been having trouble with his alternate mode, was able to rescue them and Quarry was arrested. {{Storylink|Quarry's Quarry}} The team visited Wayward Island to search for an energon trace. They found only a caveman frozen in ice, who turned out to be still alive once he was thawed back in Griffin Rock. While the others helped "[[Ira]]" acclimate, Heatwave and Blades returned to Wayward Island and found cave paintings depicting Autobots in the caveman's era. {{storylink|Did You See What I Thaw?}}

[[File:AttackOfHumungado Dino Heatwave.jpg|thumb|left|250px|No, Heatwave, that's what a ''llama'' does! You're a ''Brontosaurus''!]]
When Doc Greene's new projector was used to screen ''[[Humungado|Attack of Humungado]]'', Heatwave ended up using his dinosaur mode to help combat Humungado and his rival Rayvenous when it turned out the projector made them more realistic then Doc had planned...by bringing the two kaiju into the real world. {{storylink|The Attack of Humungado}} The mayor decided to honor the rescue team by holding [[Bot Appreciation Week]]; however, a clash in schedules resulted in the Burns family being off the island for the start. The Rescue Bots found they had to contend with the souvenir versions of themselves running amok thanks to Evan and Myles reprogramming them. {{storylink|All Bots Great and Small}}

When Cody began experiencing repeated time, his foreknowledge allowed the rescue team to prevent a number of disasters and mishaps during the dedication of the town's new clock tower. {{storylink|Time After Time}} When the mayor accidentally set fire to Founders' Day, Heatwave and Kade put it out, but the indignant mayor suspended the team on account of the fact that the Burns family was descended from a pirate. A series of clues led the team to find the treasure and they were able to persuade the mayor to reinstate them. {{storylink|Pirates Ahoy}}

After being rescued from a whirlpool by [[High Tide]], Heatwave found himself and his team placed under the new Autobot's command for some water training. Chafing under High Tide's command, Heatwave eventually snapped and quit the training, but later led the operation to secure an oil spill. After the successful securing of the spill, High Tide accepted he'd been too harsh on the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Turning the Tide}} During a visit by the time traveler [[Jules Verne]], Heatwave helped apprehend Dr. Morocco. He was surprised to learn that Verne had met him on another occasion which hadn't yet happened for Heatwave. {{storylink|The Last of Morocco}}

[[File:RescueBotsAcademy Heatwave shouts at Blurr.jpg|thumb|right|280px|"One o' these days, Blurr, one o' these days: ''POW!!'' Straight to Cybertron!"]]
After the Rescue Bots found [[Salvage (RB)|Salvage]] and [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]] on Wayward Island, Optimus assigned the pair to be trained by Heatwave's team. Heatwave was unimpressed with the brash Blurr beating him in a race by cheating, and bungling a rescue, and even less so when it turned out Blurr had been lying about his past, but Optimus convinced him to give Blurr another chance. {{storylink|The New Recruits}} Heatwave grew ever more frustrated with Blurr's lack of progress, especially when Blurr botched a rescue and then took a joyride through town and almost exposed the Rescue Bots' secret, leading Heatwave to tell Chief he was going to contact Optimus to get rid of Blurr. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Academy (episode)|Rescue Bots Academy}} He was even less impressed when Blurr stole the ''Sigma'', leaving the rescue team with a big problem when a solar flare knocked out the town's power. After Blurr saved the town from a falling satellite, Heatwave was more disposed to giving him another chance, though Optimus reassigned Blurr and Salvage elsewhere anyway. {{storylink|A New Hero}}

When Servo appeared to be causing damage around town, Heatwave conceded that they might need to send the dog back to High Tide, however it turned out Servo had actually been helping people, and Heatwave changed his mind. {{storylink|Four-Legged Hero}} Heatwave opted out of guard duties when Boulder found a family of endangered woodpeckers. He was proven right when the Rescue Bots activities resulted in the town finding out about the birds and damaging their habitat. {{storylink|Endangered Species}}

After Chase was put in charge of dispatch due to an injury, Heatwave was unimpressed with him raising several false alarms. Once Chase solved a mystery and saved [[Maura the Magnificent]] from going over [[Griffin Falls]], Heatwave declared him fit for duty again. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye (RB)|More than Meets the Eye}} When Doc Greene's [[Tone-O-Tuner]] caused everyone in town to sing instead of talk, Heatwave refused to say anything until there was an emergency at the town hall. To his relief, they found and shut down the Tone-O-Tuner. {{storylink|I Have Heard the Robots Singing}}

Heatwave continued to grow discontent that the people they saved thought they were mere robots. He and the other Rescue Bots took part in the opening of a time capsule, during which a quantum crystal mishap resulted in the entire island being teleported to the [[Arctic]]. The four Bots had to deice the generators so that the island's dome could be raised. {{storylink|Now and Then}} Heatwave had to rescue Blades and Dani after they made an attempt to go for help. As the team enacted a plan to fill the dome with floatium and fly the island back, the Rescue Bots had their work cut out keeping people safe. The journey continued, but the Rescue Bots were forced to use their own energon to power the dome. They successfully reached Griffin Rock's old location, and after some medical attention, the Rescue Bots recovered. Optimus then gave them a new mission: to let the rest of the town in on their secret. {{storylink|Today and Forever}}

[[File:NewNormal keeping Kade for later.jpg|thumb|left|400px|Heatwave finds the Velgrox's fetish disturbing.]]
Three years on, Heatwave had still not let the team reveal themselves out of worry that the townsfolk would react badly. He finally succeeded in contacting Optimus and received orders to build a new mainland base, though the fact that they would need to work with the humans still didn't change his mind. Finally an invasion by the [[Velgrox]] forced his hand. {{storylink|New Normal}} He quickly became discontent with the new attention he and the others were receiving, opting to test the new [[GroundBridge]] rather than prepare for a town meeting. After accidentally ending up in the [[Sahara]], he and the rest of the team fronted up to the townfolk, who voted to keep their secret. {{storylink|Bridge Building}}

An attempt at racing with Blades resulted in Heatwave accidentally demolishing [[Cullen|Mr. Cullen]]'s rocket. As a result Heatwave decided the team would focus on their duties rather than pursuing their own pastimes. Another GroundBridge accident sent him and Chase to the mainland, and resulted in them bringing a car back to the island who later turned out to be the Rescue Bot [[Quickshadow]]. {{storylink|Arrivals}} Irritated by Quickshadow lecturing them and defeating him in a sparring match, Heatwave placed her in charge of an operation to move [[Phodolite]] through town. The mission hit a snag when the Heatwave lost part of the load, resulting in the team having to use Chase's plan B when Quickshadow didn't have one. {{storylink|Plus One (RB)|Plus One}}

[[File:VanishingReturns digital Heatwave.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Heatwave Icarus?]]
Following a mishap in which the town pool froze over, the team visited the [[Griffin Rock Fun Zone|Fun Zone]] where Heatwave joined Chief, Cody and Frankie in a round of ''Element Quest'', only to discover it had been invaded by the [[Morocco virus]]. {{storylink|Back to Virtual Reality}} When investors were looking at redeveloping the island, the Rescue Bots used Velgrox technology to make themselves invisible and pretend to be ghosts to scare them off. {{storylink|Vanishing Returns}}

The team took part in [[Halloween|Earliween]] celebrations, and also came up with a plan to foil Evan and Myles when the pair tried to carnap Quickshadow. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (RB)|Ghost in the Machine}} When Whiskers was abducted from the zoo, the Rescue Bots used their dino modes as bait to lure big game hunter [[Thurston Chumley|Lord Chumley]]. Though they themselves were captured, they made the most of their situation, both finding Whiskers and bringing the rest of the team to help arrest Chumley. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RB)|Enemy of My Enemy}} When the opportunity came up, Heatwave was in favor of Chase running for mayor to prove that the Bots were equal in the community to humans. He soon changed his mind after Chase actually took office and the changes he made interfered with the Rescue Team doing their job. {{storylink|Mayor May Not}}

[[File:PartTimeHeroes Heatwave traffic duty.jpg|thumb|left|290px|Heatwave discovers the worst part of being a public official on Earth; ''traffic duty''.]]
When Boulder wanted to celebrate [[All Spark Day (event)|All Spark Day]], Heatwave believe they should stick to the holidays celebrated in their new home. After dealing with a water rescue and a giant-sized [[CeCe Greene]], the Bots found the whole town had decided to celebrate All Spark Day, and Heatwave acted as a substitute for the energon fountain. {{storylink|All Spark Day (episode)|All Spark Day}} When the town's communications tower required replacing, the team took on second jobs — Heatwave helped Kade entertain children's parties. The townsfolk later chipped in with enough cash to replace the tower. {{storylink|Part-Time Heroes}}

When the day finally came to open the mainland [[Rescue Bot Training Center]], Heatwave found himself having to dial the others back with the partying. After the building was transformed, he attempted to return to Griffin Rock with Cody, only to discover that the GroundBridge was malfunctioning. {{storylink|The More Things Change...}} He, Kade and Cody were assigned the task of repairing the center's holographic cloak, and with Blades's help, managed to do so before the base could be discovered. {{storylink|The More Things Stay the Same}}

[[File:OnceUponATime Heatwave busts out.jpg|thumb|right|280px|Heatwave hates it in [[Jurassic Park]].]]
During a series of motor races, the Bots had to first deal with a collapsing stand full of spectators, and then with runaway racers thanks to an errant invention. {{storylink|Hot Rod Bot}} Heatwave accompanied Blades, Chief and Dani to [[Africa]] when Woodrow Burns appeared to need help, and ended up helping a family of gorillas survive baboons and an erupting volcano. {{storylink|King Burns}} During the town's Pizza Pi Party, the team had to deal with a rapidly-expanding monster mound of pizza dough. {{storylink|Pizza Pi Party}}

While running practice drills in the Training Center, the team had to save a Cybertronian ship that crash-landed. When it turned out Bumblebee was on board, the Rescue Bots took him on a tour of the center, however Heatwave and Chase were attacked and knocked out by an energon eater than had come down with the craft. Once it was captured, the others revived them. {{storylink|Uninvited Guest}} When Blades, Graham and Cody uncovered [[Chickadee]]'s operation to find some lost gems, the rest of the team managed to apprehend her. {{storylink|Camp Cody}}

Heatwave and Kade accompanied Cody and Frankie into the woods to make a delivery to Mrs. Neederlander, only to find themselves having to search for her. After finding her and briefly being trapped in a cave, the group managed to meet up with the rest of the team. {{storylink|Once Upon a Time}} After an attempt to drill Blurr on rescuing was less than successful, Heatwave and the rest of the team found themselves having to deal with the escaped [[Mini-Con]] [[Bounce]] and [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]], a member of Bumblebee's team. {{storylink|The Need for Speed}}

[[File:TheNeedForSpeed Heatwave water knuckles.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Who needs knuckle ''dusters'' when you can have knuckle ''blasters''?]]
When Madeline Pynch got hold of a chunk of Energon, the rescue team put into action a plan to recover the Energon and arrest Pynch. Heatwave (under the code name '''Thunder''') and Chief were dropped into Pynch's compound by Blades, and managed to find Pynch's hoarded tech before she caught them, though they escaped having their memories wiped thanks to switching the tech and ultimately Pynch went to jail {{storylink|Cody's 11}} When Dani's test space mission ran into trouble, the team headed into space in the ''Sigma'' to mount a rescue, with Heatwave providing the first stage to a jetpack-assisted Rescue Bot rocket. {{storylink|To Infinity... And Back}}

Kade and Heatwave tried to get Cody interested in firefighting when the boy was deciding what sort of rescue worker he'd become. {{storylink|Family Business}} The Bots found themselves having to maintain their robot disguises when [[Maven Danger]] stayed at the firehouse as research for his new movie, though it later turned out the visit was just so Maven's agent [[Skip Scobble]] could attempt to steal a rare book. {{storylink|A Brush with Danger}}

The team was surprised to discover a whole town in [[China]] knew about them, when they were called there to deal with some out-of-control [[Scrubmite|Scrubbers]]. Afterwards Optimus promptly reassigned them, with Heatwave leading a team on Griffin Rock consisting of Salvage and Servo. When it turned out the Morocco virus was back and had built a new MorBot, Heatwave managed to blow it up by boobytrapping the GroundBridge. {{storylink|Upgrades}} Unfortunately when he, Kade and Cody returned to the Training Center, they found it under Morocco's control and had to hastily retreat. When Morocco set his sights on abducting Cody, Heatwave's team attempted in vain to protect the boy, but Heatwave was later able to pick up him and Frankie after they dropped Morocco into an undersea trench. Optimus later assigned Heatwave and Kade to train new recruits. {{storylink|Transformations}}

===2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon===
Following the restoration of Cybertron from the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], Heatwave was one of the many Autobots blacklisted by the new [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] for being a supporter of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. {{Storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}}

Trying to come up with a rallying cry, [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] once ordered his team to "roll to the rescue", but then evidently remembered that someone else was already using that cry. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}}

After spending some time with Bumblebee's team, Blurr said he needed to return to his own rescue team "before Heatwave blows a gasket." {{storylink|Bee Cool}}

[[File:ToughLuckChuck Heatwave.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Yep, still a dick. [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Only this time he also has a large chin.]]]]
Now in charge of the training center, Heatwave introduced a batch of new recruits to Earth and ran them through a series of exercises to assess them, including a simulated rescue. {{storylink|Recruits Part I}} He later assigned the recruits to do a training rescue in the caves near [[Milford]], with Cody volunteering as rescue victim. {{storylink|Recruits Part II}}

At some point Heatwave called in Blades to help [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] get the hang of his new jet mode. {{storylink|The Secret of Flight}} After Hot Shot damaged [[Tough Luck Chuck]] during a training exercise, Heatwave put the recruit in charge of looking after the drone while he retrieved some new parts from Milford. It later turned out that Hot Shot had allowed Chuck to wander through the GroundBridge portal to Milford, and Heatwave had to lead the recruits in a search and rescue mission before Chuck was found by humans. {{storylink|Tough Luck Chuck (episode)|Tough Luck Chuck}} Believing that [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]] could get the response time of the other recruits down, Heatwave lent the student his control for the rescue alarm, which didn't go as well as it could have. {{storylink|The Bot Who Cried Rescue}}

[[File:MissionInaudible Heatwave vehicle.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Golly, Heatwave, your wheels are bigger than your engine!]]
Heatwave took the recruits to the building site where the Rescue Bots' giant faces were being hewn into a mountainside near Griffin Rock. He later regretted it when Hot Shot endangered the entire enterprise by trying to add his own head. {{storylink|Mount Botmore}} After seeing how [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]] got Wedge and Hot Shot to stop fighting, Heatwave put him in charge of the recruits' next practice rescue. {{storylink|Mission Inaudible}} Heatwave had Cody accompany the recruits on another rescue involving an overturned truck in Griffin Rock. {{storylink|Glitch (episode)|Glitch}} His demonstration of the ''Sigma'' to the recruits resulted in them believing that one of them was going to be expelled as there were only four command chairs, leading to them badly failing a volcano rescue drill until he explained that the ships were built to accommodate as many crew as necessary. {{storylink|Five into Four}}

[[File:RescuePromo Heatwave puppet.jpg|thumb|right|350px|There are at ''least'' 4 recreations of Puppetwave in the community by this point.]]
Partway through filming a recruitment video, Heatwave had to go help [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus]] on a mission and so left the task of filming the rest to [[Whirl (RBA)|Whirl]]. He invited Optimus back to the base to view the results. {{storylink|Rescue Promo}} The recruits blaming each other for the failure of a rescue resulted in Heatwave assigning them chores as punishment. {{storylink|Blame Game}} Heatwave and the recruits set up a surprise for Cody to present him with his EMT training certificate. {{storylink|Medix Surprise}}

After five [[TX3000]]s were loaned to the training center, Heatwave put the recruits through a series of exercises to test their ability with the device. {{storylink|The TX3000}} After Teen Pioneer [[Wes]] won a competition, Heatwave had the recruits spend some time with him, though Wedge required more persuading than the others. {{storylink|Driving a Wedge}} After rock sample from an asteroid went missing, Heatwave assumed one of the recruits had taken it. It later turned out that the rock was actually a small alien which had simply walked off his desk. {{storylink|About a Rock}}

The recruits attempted to keep a dog secret from Heatwave, but he inevitably found out and had them contact the dog's owner. It turned out the dog's name was also [[Heatwave (dog)|Heatwave]] and had been trying to get the recruits to rescue his other owner [[Frank Murphy]]. {{storylink|Dog Stray Afternoon}} Heatwave was overseeing the recruits in a simulation when Hot Shot fouled up again. {{storylink|Lucky Ducky}} He, Boulder and Blades worked to prevent a flood in Griffin Rock while the recruits rescued townsfolk. {{storylink|Go Team, Go!}} The recruits were too absorbed in the smartphones Boulder had assigned them to pay attention to Heatwave's lesson, resulting in them botching the rescue simulation he later had them do. {{storylink|Screen Time}} Heatwave took the recruits on a field trip to a museum in Milford, during which Whirl's contention that something was amiss paid off, and the team were able to catch a thief in the act. {{storylink|Fright at the Museum}}

[[File:WhosTeachingWho student Heatwave.jpg|thumb|left|280px|Heatwave was never very good at ''fitting in'' while he was learning at his old Rescue Bot Academy.]]
During a mission to the ''Asgard'', Heatwave and his team got trapped outside, necessitating the sending of the ''Sigma'' back to Earth so the recruits could come make an assist. {{storylink|Space Case (episode)|Space Case}} Heatwave left the recruits with a list of chores when he and Cody joined the other Rescue Bots on an off-world mission. On his return, he was impressed with the results until he found the [[Scrub-A-Dubber]] in his office. {{storylink|All Washed Up}} When Heatwave's lesson bored the recruits, he suggested if they thought they could do better, they could be the teachers for the day. Though the results were variable, Heatwave and the other Rescue Bots were able to employ what they'd learned during a later rescue. {{storylink|Who's Teaching Who?}}

While he had more business off-world, Heatwave assigned the recruits the task of retrieving a balloon from a tree in Milford. The tale he was told when he returned was rather more complicated than expected. {{storylink|Balloon Up A Tree}} Heatwave provided the recruits with a simulated dragon to deal with after discovering that Hoist was too distracted reading about the beasts. {{storylink|The Mystery of Dragon Mountain}} Heatwave introduced the recruits to their new teacher, [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]]. He later learned that Hoist had been trying to avoid Grimlock as he was afraid of Dinobots. {{Storylink|Tyrannosaurus Wrecked}} Heatwave gave Hoist permission to skip a trip to [[Wayward Island|Dino Island]]. He and the other teachers were away from the academy when a dinosaur got loose in it, leaving Hoist to have to deal with it. {{storylink|Dino Hard}}

Heatwave assigned the recruits the task of retrieving a crashed top-secret satellite. {{storylink|Dig Fest (episode)|Dig Fest}} On [[Halloween]], Heatwave congratulated the recruits after they pulled off a rescue while trick or treating. {{storylink|Trick or Treat}} Heatwave was again absent from the base on another occasion, leaving Grimlock to do his digital paperwork. {{storylink|Monster Savings}} Heatwave assigned Hoist the task of looking after the experimental [[Virtual Sonic Fence]] and was later upset when the recruits became distracted by the tune used to unlock the device and failed an exercise. Once they got themselves together, he sent them on a mission to the planet [[Herboo]]. {{storylink|Tune Out}} Heatwave and Cody were dealing with a crashed ice cream truck when they had to go to the aid of Boulder and the recruits, who'd stumbled on a nest of [[Scraplet]]s. {{storylink|Metal Munchers}}

[[File:BestBotsForever1 Heatwave tows Grimlock.jpg|thumb|right|370px|How to Tow your Dinobot.]]
Increasingly irritated by the testing of Hoist's new comms system, Heatwave ordered the recruits to investigate why some animals were acting as which as it turned out, was because of the new comms system. {{storylink|Milford Goes To The Dogs}} Heatwave had the recruits try a simulation involving an ice wave to teach them that sometimes they had to pick their victories based on what was achievable. {{storylink|The Ice Wave}} Heatwave took part in a teachers vs students relay race, carrying Grimlock as a pretend rescue victim, and lost to Hot Shot when the recruit exploited the Dinobot's fear of cats. He was dismayed later when Hot Shot opted to drop out of the Academy the day before graduation to return to Cybertron. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 1}} A space bridge malfunction caused by the students tampering with it resulted in Heatwave, Optimus, Cody and Chase becoming trapped in an expanding energon bubble. They were eventually freed by the recruits, and Heatwave's anger was cut short by the arrival of the Griffin Rock townsfolk. Graduation went ahead as planned. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 2}}

Between years, Heatwave had personal spaces set up for each of the five recruits, and showed them around when year two started. [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]'s [[Aptitude Analyzer]] paired him with Hot Shot as a mentor. {{storylink|Back to School}} Said mentoring involved assigning Hot Shot a series of chores to do, which turned out to teach Hot Shot the skills necessary for a rescue the recruits had to carry out. {{storylink|In Training}} Heatwave took the recruits to visit Ratchet's lab on Cybertron and was stunned to learn Medix had been hiding a bat from him. {{storylink|Medix Steps Up To The Bat}}

[[File:GreatEnergonRush Heatwave at desk.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Get in the Rescue Bot, Cody.]]
Heatwave was perturbed to discover that the recruits had built a robotic suit for Cody. When he sent them to corral a rogue bull, the suit almost resulted in the situation ending in disaster, but instead it ended with Heatwave trying to wrangle the bull. {{storylink|Robo-Cody}} Heatwave assigned the recruits to the task of acting in Griffin Rock's Play in the Park. When Wedge confessed to having faked an injury to get out of it because a squirrel taunted him, Heatwave suggested maybe the squirrel was trying to tell him something else. {{storylink|Acting Out}} Heatwave approved [[Perceptor (Prime)|Perceptor]] to join the Academy as a teacher. {{storylink|Need to Know}}

Heatwave was absent from the Academy for a number of days, and had Grimlock fill in for him. {{storylink|Trouble Cubed}} To recognize their good work, Heatwave let the recruits pick their favorite rescue simulation to do, and was confused when they decided to watch movies instead. {{storylink|My Favorite Rescue}} When Grimlock and Hoist found a lead on a possible energon cache, Heatwave approved a mission to go search but cautioned them to observe safety measures at all times. {{storylink|The Great Energon Rush}} Heatwave conducted a fire training exercise with Hot Shot. {{storylink|Wild Ghost Chase}} Heatwave attended the opening of the [[Museum of Future Tech Art]]. {{storylink|Museum Mystery}}

When [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]] and [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] were trapped in a shrinking [[force field]] dome, Heatwave led the team of mentors and recruits to rescue them. {{storylink|Partners (RBA)|Partners}} Heatwave suggested Hot Shot give his new rescue tool a chance when the young Bot was disappointed with what the [[Sparksayer]] had given him. {{storylink|Power Up And Energize}} Heatwave attended the charity performance of the [[Griffin Rock Ballet School]]. {{storylink|Shall We Dance?}}

[[File:BigWheels Heatwave and Hot Shot fire.jpg|thumb|right|300px|OK, so, let's start by going over the things you got right.]]
Optimus spurred Heatwave into action to try to help Hot Shot master his Mul-T-Cog, though it wasn't until the other recruits got involved that Hot Shot succeeded. {{storylink|Mul-T-Change of Pace}} Heatwave set up a test for Whirl's final deductive reasoning exam, disguising himself as a tree. Whirl saw through the disguise fairly easily. {{storylink|Five Little Rescue Bots}} When a series of technical malfunctions plagued the academy, Heatwave contacted Ratchet to get them fixed. {{storylink|Good Advice}} Hot Shot consulted Heatwave while trying to decide on a new alternate mode, however Heatwave had to come to his rescue when he started a fire at an abandoned rocket site. Hot Shot was so impressed with Heatwave's abilities in fire truck mode that he selected that for his new form. {{storylink|Big Wheels}}

After the recruits informed him of a distress signal they'd detected in space, Heatwave sent them on their first solo off-world mission, giving them a rescue beacon for when they ran into trouble. He later responded to the rescue beacon and arrived in time to witness the reactivation of lost [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Citadel Secundus]]. {{storylink|The Empty City}} Heatwave took part in a "rescue-athon" partnered with Hot Shot. {{storylink|First Responder}} He sent the recruits to [[Australia]] in response to a distress signal, {{storylink|Brushfire (episode)|Brushfire}} and dispatched Whirl to take care of another distress call which turned out to be Scorch. {{storylink|The Ties That Bind (episode)|The Ties That Bind}} Heatwave entered a classroom to find Ratchet and the recruits dancing like chickens, and slooooowly backed back out. {{storylink|Bot Blog}}

[[File:WizardOfBotz Heatwave head.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
As Heatwave had to do repairs on the ''Asgard'', he left the recruits in the care of Perceptor. The ''Sigma'' vanished while he was prepping it for launch, as Medix had decided that the best plan to impress Perceptor would be to do the ''Asgard'' repairs himself. {{storylink|Medix Gets Schooled}} Heatwave sent the recruits out on a series of missions which led them to encounter a group of teens who were also mounting rescues. He later offered the teens the chance to train as first responders. {{storylink|Rescue Teens}}

The wizard in Whirl's dream appeared in the form of a giant holographic head resembling Heatwave. {{storylink|Wizard Of Botz}} After Heatwave assigned the recruits to carry out maintenance on the academy, he began seeing rabbits and cows passing through walls thanks to Hot Shot and Hoist screwing up repairs on Hero Hall. {{storylink|One Of Our Dragons Is Missing}} Responding to an emergency on Cybertron involving meteors heading towards [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]], Heatwave was forced to leave [[Sludge (FOC)|Sludge]] and [[Snarl (FOC)|Snarl]] in charge of the academy. He returned assuming the place would be trashed, but instead the two Dinobots were ''cleaning''. {{storylink|Dino-mite Duo}} Heatwave took the recruits to respond to a vague distress call from Citadel Secundus, though it turned out the Titan was just lonely. {{storylink|The Lonely Titan}}

[[File:XMarksTheBot Heatwave holokey.jpg|thumb|right|230px]]
When [[Finn O'Reilly]] approached Heatwave with a [[holokey]] he'd found, Heatwave enlisted the help of the recruits to join the pair on following the trail of breadcrumbs stored in the device. They eventually found a hidden cache of [[Tox-En]], hidden thousands of years earlier. {{storylink|X Marks The Bot}} Heatwave set up a series of tests to help the recruits learn when and when not to use their power up tools, even roping [[Jerry (RB)|Jerry]] into helping. {{Storylink|Powerless}} Heatwave was approached by Mayor Luskey to have the recruits monitor the upcoming charity concert by DJ Mechmaster. {{storylink|Griffin Rock Rocks!}}

Heatwave oversaw the recruits on their final test of year two, and afterwards announced they'd get to have a party aboard Citadel Secundus. Unfortunately the party came to a halt when the Titan was struck by an asteroid which created an anti-energon field, putting Heatwave and the rest of the teaching staff into stasis lock. {{storylink|Space Party}} They were revived once Secundus was safely landed on Earth, and held the students' graduation ceremony, during which Heatwave revealed that Secundus was becoming the Academy's new wing. {{storylink|Crash Of The Titan}}

*'''Heatwave the Fire-Bot''' (Rescue Bot, 2011)

:Heatwave transforms into a red and grey fire engine of likely fictitious origin. In keeping with the simple [[transformation scheme]] of the line, Heatwave transforms from vehicle mode to robot mode by simply pulling up the ladder and folding down the feet.

:Due to the placement of his ladder on his back, it is actually possible for the human figures to hitch a ride on Heatwave's back in robot mode; the rungs on the ladder are just thin enough to allow for one of their hands to slip around and the thumb on that hand to fit in the hollow area on the back of said rung.

:This figure was redecoed for the [[#Rescue Bots: Energize|''Energize'' toyline]], casting some parts in translucent blue plastic. It was also retooled to give it sockets capable of holding the newly included eponymous implement. The retooled version was later redecoed in cartoon-accurate colors and [[#Rescue Bots (2018)|given a limited re-release in 2018]].

*'''Heatwave the Fire-Bot''' (Flip Changer, 2013)

:A highly simplified version of Heatwave with show-accurate detailing. He transforms into a super-deformed fire engine—pulling out the lever on the rear of Heatwave's vehicle mode causes him to drive forwards before doing a frontwards flip to [[autotransformation|autotransform]] into robot mode, popping his head up and his arms outwards.

{{anchor|RescanBoat}}
[[File:RescueBots_Rescan_HeatwaveTheFireBot.jpg|thumb|300px|Rescue Boats, Row to the Rescue!]]
*'''Heatwave the Fire-Bot''' (Rescan, 2014)

:Part of the first wave of the Rescan series, Heatwave is an all-new figure, featuring a spring-loaded transformation from show-accurate fireboat to robot, activated by his lightbar. As a boat, he does not have any wheels, nor does he have anything else to lift him off the surface of a table. He is therefore prone to paint wear on his wrist-mounted water cannons and the top of his faux chest window during play.

:This figure shares engineering with the [[Hot Shot (Prime)#Hovercraft|hovercraft version of ''Rescue Bots Academy'' Hot Shot]].

[[File:RB-toy Heatwave-HookLadder.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''Oh no'', Heatwave had [[Primus apotheosis]] the ''whole time!'']]
*'''Hook & Ladder Heatwave''' (2016)
**''Accessories'': Trailer/gauntlet, water-blast projectile

: Part of a larger "deluxe" range of toys under the broader ''Playskool Heroes'' banner, Hook & Ladder Heatwave is a smaller, more show-like re-make of his original toy (in line with the "Rescan" assortment of his teammates), transforming from fire truck to robot and back with a single step triggered by swinging his truck-mode back end/leg down. He comes with a large trailer unit with a moving ladder rig equipped with a spring-loaded "water burst" launcher. The rig can transform into a gauntlet that kids (or adults with small arms) can wear.

: The package back calls out that Heatwave's back-ladder is removable and can be attached to the trailer, but it takes ''way'' too much force to do and doesn't feel like it's actually supposed to. Also, the ladder has been molded in a way that makes the tops of the steps incorrectly aligned when attached, causing them to face sideways.

:The cab-robot was also included in the "[[Heatwave (RB)#4pack|Griffin Rock Rescue Team Set]]" in 2016, [[Heatwave (RB)#RescanCab|released singly]] in 2018, and [[#RBACab|re-released singly again as part of ''Rescue Bots Academy'']], each time with no notable changes.

[[File:RescueBots_GriffinRockRescueTeam_Package.jpg|thumb|right|250px|So ''this'' is what Optimus feels like when he gets sold without his trailer...]]
*'''Griffin Rock Rescue Team Set''' (4-pack, 2016)

: This box set contains the "[[Heatwave (RB)#Hook&Ladder|Hook & Ladder Heatwave]]" cab-robot minus the trailer unit, and the show-based "Rescan" versions of [[Boulder#RescanShow|Boulder]], [[Blades (RB)#RescanCopter|Blades]], and [[Chase (RB)#RescanCar|Chase]]. All four toys are identical to their individual releases (with the obvious exception of the missing trailer).

*'''Heatwave the Fire-Bot''' (Rescan, 2017)

:Part of the thirteenth wave of the Rescan series, Heatwave is another new body for the character which changes from robot to two-headed dragon and back in a single step.

*'''Heatwave the Fire-Bot''' (Rescan, 2018)

:Yet another new body for the character released as part of the sixteenth wave of the Rescan series, this time changing into a race car in a single step. He seems to take a lot of the engineering from the Rescan [[MorBot]] figure, which is an extensive retool of [[Blurr (Prime)#Rescue Bots|Blurr]]. In 2019 [[#RBARescanRaceCar|he was re-released]] under [[Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (toyline)|''Rescue Bots Academy'' branding]] with no changes, and was also retooled with a new head and resculpted chest and legs, into the [[Whirl (RBA)#Racecar|race-car version of ''Rescue Bots Academy'' Whirl]].

:Whether by accident or design, this toy bears a resemblance to the [[:File:ABGaS-LuskeyBooth-robot.jpg|generic red robot]] seen adorning Mayor Luskey's booth in the episode "[[All Bots Great and Small]]".

:For some reason, the stock photos and character art on his packaging show the...vents?...on either side of his cockpit being painted white instead of the unpainted red they ended up being in the final toy.

: A re-release of the "[[Heatwave (RB)#Hook&Ladder|Hook & Ladder Heatwave]]" cab-robot without the trailer unit, like the [[Heatwave (RB)#4pack|Griffin Rock Rescue Team Set]] from 2016, but single-carded. There are no notable differences compared to the two earlier releases. This figure was also later re-released in the [[#RBACab|''Rescue Bots Academy'' toyline]] with no changes.

:This figure is prone to internal breakage of the autotransforming mechanism if care is not taken when aligning the halves of the dinosaur head during transformation.

:Part of the first wave of Mega Bots figures, Heatwave changes from a longer and larger version of his original fire truck alt-mode in a few easy steps. He features a removeable ladder with water cannons which can peg onto his arm or his back. His left arm has a flip-out capture claw. Additionally, he has 5mm compatible fist holes and his vehicle mode has several pegs for accommodating human figures.

:His ladder uses a hexagonal link-up point that is also used for the cranes on both Rescue Rig and Megabot versions of [[High Tide]], as well as (strangely) the gasoline pump included with the Griffin Rock Garage set, making all of those parts interchangeable.

*Unused in the show, toy artwork of Heatwave showed that he could fire grappling hooks from his knuckle cannons. It also depicted him with Onslaught esque back mounted cannons, which managed to sneak into the design of his dinobot mode.
*Heatwave is the only cast member to have a new alternate mode drafted into the show from an existing toy. The other alternate toys of the others are toy-exclusive.

{{picsneeded|''Transformers Authentics'' figures}}
'''''Transformers Authentics''''' is a kid-oriented toyline launched in [[2017]], comprising simple figures developed for the discount market. The figures are based on the [[evergreen]] designs that Hasbro established in the same year. The line took the place of the [[market six]] Legion Class figures from 2015, which had the "authentic Transformers" disclaimer.

The line features several distinct price points, though the assortments aren't identified on any packaging or instructions. The names used in this article come from retailer and distributor listings.

Peace through merchandising!

==Wireless Microphone==
[[File:MegsMicrophone.jpg|thumb|Die kids construction — it's a lost art.]]
* '''Megatron''' (Nasta, 1984)
:One of the earliest pieces of Megatron merchandise is also one of the strangest. Taking the form of Megatron's Walther P-38 gun mode — itself quite controversial and anachronistic due to [[For safety reasons|recent safety regulations]] — the microphone allows children to broadcast their voices to a nearby AM radio by pointing the gun at their mouth (at the rear sight, not the ''barrel muzzle'' at least) and speaking into it.

:'''''Seriously'''''.
{{-}}

==Collegeville Costumes==
[[File:Megatron collegeville costume.jpg|thumb|<insert questionable joke about package description here>]]
*'''Megatron''' (1984)
:Although [[Collegeville Costumes]] only released a small number of Transformers costumes, and made some odd choices for characters to depict in the process, Megatron was an obvious choice as one of their first releases. The costume consists of a thin plastic facemask based directly on the original Megatron toy's head, and in time-worn, super-crappy tradition, a red and white plastic smock decorated not with the details of Megatron's body, but with his package art and the Transformers logo.

==Spindex Corporation==

*'''Megatron''' (eraser set, 1985)
:This two-pack of erasers from [[Spindex Corporation]] depicted Megatron in his robot and gun modes.
*'''Megatron''' (Character eraser, 1985)
:One of three different "character erasers" produced by Spindex, this small Megatron figurine came on either a red or purple blister card.
*'''Optimus Prime and Megatron''' (Pencil Toppers and Pencil, 1985)
:Small rubber figurines of Megatron and Optimus Prime came packaged with a pencil they could perch on the end of.

==Transformers Milk Caramel==
[[File:TFcaramel megatron.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Megatron''' (1985)
:A soft rubber figurine—known in Japan as a ''keshigomu''— of Megatron was released as part of the second wave of [[Kabaya]]'s ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]'' [[candy toy]] range. He came packaged with chocolate-covered caramel candies, and was available in red, blue and yellow.

==Transformers Gum==
[[File:TFGum megatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Megatron''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' High-density infra-red laser cannon
:A snap-together transformable model kit of Megatron was available as part of the second wave of Kabaya's ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' line. Essentially a downsized version of his original toy, the kit was made out of grey and black plastic, featuring stickers for detail, and came with a stick of gum. Like the original Japanese release of his toy, Megatron lacks his fusion cannon, armed merely with his infra-red laser cannon accessory.

*'''Megatron''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''16'''

:A large ''keshigomu'' of Megatron was produced by TakaraTomy licensee [[Maruka Toys]]. Packaged on a blister card, the static, unposeable Megatron figure came with removable laser cannon and sword accessories, and featured a few small stickers for colour and detail. Maruka also produced an Optimus Prime figure in the same scale, and both Megatron and he were available in red, yellow or green.

==Decoy==
*'''Defeat Dinosaurer Strategy Game''' (board game, 1986)
*'''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)[[File:Decoy megatron.jpg|thumb]]

:Megatron was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Decepticons in the series, Megatron was molded in soft purple rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. As the figure is a Japanese creation, it's particularly notable for the fact that it lacks Megatron's signature fusion cannon, just as his original Japanese toy release did, instead sculpting him with his hand-held laser cannon and Japanese-exclusive sword.

:Megatron was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Decepticon figures, as well as being included as one of several possible random Decepticon figures included as playing tokens with the "Defeat Dinosaurer Strategy Game", and in a variety of different colours via "gachapon" capsule machines. Later, [[Seven]] made him available in a peach coloration, randomly included in a variety of multi-packs.

*'''Megatron''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''32'''

: The figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (32, in Megatron's case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]], and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Unsurprisingly, this red figurine is much rarer.

:A small non-transforming [[super deformed]] model kit of Megatron was available as part of Kabaya's "[[Parody Deformed]]" line of candy toys. The third figure in the series, Megatron was part of the larger class of kits, and as such is made from three colors of plastic (white, grey and blue) with eye and Decepticon symbol stickers for detail. He came with a "[[PDTF Comic]]" comic about himself—"Don't Cry! Megatron!!"—and a stick of chewing gum.

It was presumably packed at a ratio of one per ten cases.

:For the fourth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, Megatron's left arm was changed to feature [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] perching on it. His feet have also been painted bright white rather than the body-matching light gray of the original. Like all the figures in the fourth wave, Megatron was available in both standard full color and metallic silver "pewter" versions, one of each of which was available in a standard 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. This holds true for pretty much every pewter figure in the entire line.

:In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of Megatron came packaged with the right arm of the collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Metroplex]] build-a-figure.

Unlike the chase one, Prime also came with an interchangeable empty fist, so he doesn't ''have'' to wield Megatron. His right arm has also been tooled to be straight-elbowed, and his left hand is now clenched. The figure was available in both full color and pewter versions in a 1:1 ratio per case.

==Heroes of Cybertron==
[[File:HOC Megatron.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Megatron''' (2002)

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Heroes of Cybertron#Heroes of Cybertron|Heroes of Cybertron]]'', this figure is functionally the same as the first ''Super Collection Figure'' Megatron. Like all the standard ''Heroes'' figures, he is cast in transparent plastic, then painted over, save for the eyes and a small patch on the back of his head, giving him a [[light-piping]] gimmick. However, there are a few other tiny deco differences, most importantly (and noticeable) being the addition of a black circle on the muzzle of his back-mounted gun barrel, and the back of his midsection is painted light gray rather than red like the ''SCF''. He's also a cooler super-light-gray than the ''SCF'' figure.

: There is a [[variant|running change variant]] of this figure, which adds a bit of red paint to the raised bit on the back of Megatron's fusion cannon, a detail from the animation model missing from the ''SCF'' Megatrons.

: Megatron was re-released in 2006 as part of a short-lived ''Heroes of Cybertron'' revival, celebrating the 2006 DVD release of the original ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. This version was cast in opaque off-white plastic and is virtually identical to the original ''SCF'' Megatron, with the unpainted back-barrel and red-painted mid-back. At best, in certain lights the 2006 ''Heroes'' version is an ever so slightly warmer light gray plastic than the ''SCF''.

: Released in the second wave, this version of Megatron is a mass-release variation of the chase figure from the first ''SCF'' Act, replacing his right hand with a clear-plastic energy flail. His left hand is the clenched fist of the later "Laserbeak" version of Megatron, instead of the open-hand the chase figure had. This version also keeps the paint additions from the previous version of the figure, always having the red-dotted cannon.

: Oddly, he comes with the same collector card as the first version, and the packaging does not call out the energy weapon in any way. The card-back cross-sell even shows only the original Megatron. (The same happened to this wave's energy-weapon-wielding [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#Heroes of Cybertron|Optimus Prime]].)

He keeps the paint alterations of the energy-mace Megatron, though his black paint is much glossier this time around. Laserbeak's grays are also much lighter than on the SCF, matching Megatron's main body coloring.

: The collector card does not list Laserbeak on the front, but does mention him at the end of a severely truncated version of the first card's [[bio]].

:The first entry in the ''Transformers Battlefield'' line by model company [[First 4 Figures]], this 13-inch tall diorama depicts Optimus Prime slugging it out with Megatron. Megatron comes with a "REP" (Replaceable Exterior Part) of a battle damaged version of his head, which features a detachable "helmet" to show off his exposed robo-brain. Optimus is posed as though doing a shoulder shove while holding his ion blaster, but a provided REP hand allows buyers to instead recontexualise the pose as a spinning backhand slap.

:The model was limited to 1,850 pieces worldwide, and came with a numbered certificate of authenticity, which allowed buyers to reserve the same number on their next purchase in the series. It also came with an A4 mini-poster depicting the same fight between Optimus and Megatron by artist [[Little IroN]], which was also sold separately as a limited edition A2 poster.

:As a ''Transformers Battlefield'' release, this model featured a detailed base designed to interlock with others in the same range to create a massive battle diorama.

:This figure uses specialized gray revolver joints in order to better blend with the surrounding sculpted parts.

:He includes a hand obviously meant for holding a gun... but has no gun to use it with. Though if you buy ''Revoltech'' Starscream as well, you can always make him wield himself.

**''Accessories'': Regular head, control helmet head, Energon-drinking head, antimatter chest, laser sword, blaster, Kremzeek, 6 hands, hand with Energon cube, chemical flask, [[Pearl of Bahoudin]], 2 energy maces

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers ULTIMATES!]]'' from [[Super7]], Megatron is an 8-inch-tall non-transforming figure. Despite his retro look, he has ''way'' more articulation than the original, including multi-directional joints at the neck, shoulders, wrists, hips, and ankles; plus swivel biceps, elbows, knees, and a bit of ab crunch. He even has an opening chest with pictures of antimatter cubes behind it, as seen in the end of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original cartoon]] episode "[[Roll for It]]". His hands pop out at the wrists so they can be replaced with his additional spare hands or other accessories.

: Among said accessories are some that have by now been included frequently with Megatron figures, such as his energy mace (here provided with both straight and curved chain versions), the blaster and laser sword from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', as well as [[Kremzeek]]. More innovative accessories include an alternate head with the control helmet from "[[Prime Target (episode)|Prime Target]]", a half-empty energon cube and drunkenly-grinning alternate head meant to represent the drinking scene in "[[Microbots]]", the Pearl of Bahoudin from "[[Trans-Europe Express]]", and the chemical flask that Megatron is shown throwing at [[Gregory Swofford]] in "[[The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1]]" (deep cut!).

: Preorders for Megatron (and the rest of Wave 2) opened on [[July 29]] 2021, and closed on [[August 27]], with the toys slated for shipping in summer 2022... a vague date Super7 missed by a full year.

Joe'' #142]], the massive gun he holds on the cover of [[All or Nothing!|issue #2]], his sword from the cover of [[Escalation!|issue #8]], the pistol he used in the "Because I'm an '''idiot''', that's why!" panel from [[Total War!|issue #10]], and a bullet bandolier because why not.

The two-tone figures were available in a variety of colour variations, with at least six different combinations for each of the four characters: Bumblebee is known to have been available in blue and red, red and black, green and black, blue and black, black and yellow, and black and red... yet not his traditional yellow and black!

:The Bumblebee figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (26, in Bumblebee's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

:In 2020, [[Brazil]]ian chocolate manufacturer D'elicce released a ''Transformers''-themed [[Easter]] egg that came inside a relatively large hard plastic handbag based on Bumblebee's evergreen head design.

[[File:Brazilian Bumblebee Easter Egg 2022.jpg|upright=1.44|thumb]]
*'''''Transformers'' Easter egg''' (2022)
**''Accessories:'' Egg holder/obstacle piece

:D'elicce's 2022 ''Transformers'' egg included a toy of an evergreen Bumblebee car with the robot mode head sticking out of the roof, creating the illusion that Bumblebee is driving himself.

:The car is made of pure yellow plastic (except for the wheels which are black) and is completely hollow underneath due to the egg being stored inside of it in-packaging. It does come with a curved piece made of black plastic attached to its underside that helps to keep the egg in place, but it's not supposed to stay attached after removing the egg since it prevents the car from touching the ground with its own wheels. The piece can be loosely stuck inside the car for improvised storage, but it's clearly not designed to attach in any other way. Instead, the piece itself features a phrase (written in Portuguese) embossed on its inner side suggesting that it should be used as an "obstacle" for the car to play with. Hey, at least they tried to get creative with it. Meanwhile, an Autobot logo is embossed on the outer side of the piece.

:The toy features no paint applications and instead comes with a sticker sheet with 16 stickers—including the car's front grille, headlights, windows and decorative stripes—and instructions on where to apply them. Attention must be paid while applying the stickers, however, as the instructions incorrectly show the headlights and the rear side windows being applied to the opposite side to the one they were actually intended. The transparent plastic used as packaging tries (and fails) to give the impression that the windows come pre-applied, but in reality only the robot's face actually comes as a pre-applied sticker.

*'''''Transformers'' Easter egg''' (2023)

:The 2023 version of D'elicce's Bumblebee is a big-headed robot mode figure made entirely of two pieces of yellow plastic. Opening the figure in half reveals a chocolate egg and a sticker sheet inside. As was the case with the previous release, only the face comes with a pre-applied sticker, while the stickers for the chest, arms and legs must be applied manually. The stickers for the arms feature noticeable movie-style Autobot insignias.

He features 26 points of articulation and is decoed in an attempt at [[show-accuracy]], with an extra smattering of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]''-style battle damage. His robot mode is based on [https://www.instagram.com/p/CLo1eYQASuE/ concept art] by [[Ken Christiansen]], which had earlier influenced Bumblebee's look in the [[Transformers (2019 comic)|2019 IDW ongoing comic]] and the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' animated series.

:Bumblebee's chest plate can be removed to reveal details meant to represent his "inner workings". He comes with two sets of hands: one pair of closed fists, and one pair of open hands for holding weaponry and accessories. Speaking of which, he also includes a small blaster accessory (though his product description claims he has two), along with a pair of fire blast effects to simulate weapons discharge.

:[[Threezero]]'s debut figure for the MDLX line, this version of Bumblebee is an original design taking inspiration from the original cartoon but with the aesthetics in the vein of the live-action movies. Bumblebee is a smaller scaled non-transforming action figure in the vein of contemporary collector-oriented lines like Figma and S.H. Figuarts. Like those lines, the figure is extremely well-articulated and detailed, features interchangeable hands and heads, with the alternate visored face specifically resembling his G1 toy. The three pairs of hands he comes with are relaxed splayed-open hands, closed fists, and posed hands meant to hold his included Laser Blaster (which in turn is based on the pistol used in the cartoon). His back tire can also be removed.

:In addition to the small ''Choco'' model kit, Kabaya also released a larger version of Prime under their ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' line. Essentially a downsized version of the original Prime toy (sans trailer), the kit is sculpted from black, red, and grey plastic, features stickers rather than paint applications for details, and came with a stick of gum.

**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster
:The first wave of 2010's revival of the ''Transformers Gum'' series served up a double dose of Prime, beginning with this new model kit of the original Generation 1 version of the character. Sculpted from white, red, and blue plastic, the kit features a positively ''ungodly'' amount of stickers to make it look presentable and comes with Prime's traditional ion blaster weapon, which stores on the rear of his cab in vehicle mode.

:In terms of transformation, Convoy partially [[partformer|partforms]], as the forearms are needed to be removed and attach it back during conversion.

As with the Generation 1 model, this figure is made from white, red and blue plastic and uses ''lots'' of stickers. It comes with the ''Classics''' figure's transforming smokestack/laser cannon weapon.

:Much like his aforementioned G1 self, his arms also need to be partformed into robot mode.

*'''Star Convoy''' (2014)
**''Accessories:'' Cannon, Roller/ treads, car mode Hot Rodimus

:Released as part of the 8th wave of Kabaya's 2009 series of standard model kits, Star Convoy is a snap-together model kit that can transform into a futuristic big rig. Like the full-sized Star Convoy toy, this model kit can assume a battle station mode and also includes a diminutive and non-transformable Hot Rodimus in car mode that can interact with the base mode ramps. Like most other Kabaya model kits, Star Convoy has no paint applications and relies on stickers for added details.

:Owing to the original toy's simple engineering, Star Convoy does not require any disassembly to transform into robot mode, making him one of the few non-partforming Kabaya figures. He does, however, need to have his Microcarrier wheel base detached (which was also an option on the original toy) to fully access a significant improvement over his older self: some newly-added leg articulation! The Microcarrier also doubles as a shield that can be attached to the robot's left arm.

==Hero Set==

:A large ''keshigomu'' of Optimus Prime was produced by TakaraTomy licensee [[Maruka Toys]].

Maruka also produced a Megatron figure in the same scale, and both Prime and he were available in red, yellow or green.

:Optimus Prime was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Prime was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Prime was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Autobot figures, as a playing piece in the Defeat Trypticon Strategy Game, and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (1987)
**''Checklist number:'' '''31'''
:The Prime figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the "[[Decoy]]" promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (31, in Prime's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

:Released in Dairy Queen's 'Kid's Pick-Nic!' meals in 1994, this hunk of red and blue plastic is the first known Optimus Prime kids' meal toy and also probably the worst, sporting no transformation and zero articulation of any sort, with an included sticker sheet for detailing that doesn't particularly resemble any iteration of the character.

:These can be pretty hard to find, owing to their limited distribution compared to the average fast food promotion. Being pretty forgettable as toys probably didn't help either, if we're being honest.

*'''Convoy''' (1999/2000)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MFC-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion Blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, alternate hand, unpainted rifle, Matrix, helmet and hand
:''Metalforce'' Convoy is a large vinyl figurine produced by [[Time House]] sculpted to very closely resemble Optimus Prime as he appeared in the original television series, and at the time was the most accurate product depiction of Optimus Prime's cartoon appearance.

:The figure has useful swivel joints at the shoulders and neck, and not-so-useful ones at the wrists and knees. It comes fully painted and pre-assembled, but true to his garage figure origins his Ion blaster must be cut free using a hobby knife, then assembled. His clear blue chest window piece is removable to allow the installation of his [[Matrix of Leadership/toys|Matrix of Leadership]], as is a ''[[The Transformers: The Movie|Movie]]''-style Matrix cover (not pictured). He also comes with an alternate hand that allow him to hold his accessories, as well as unpainted and uncut duplicates of his Matrix, hands and helmet, for some reason...

:Metalforce Prime was available in both a matte-paint "anime" version that more precisely echoed the colors of the actual series, and a metallic-paint version (pictured), which is less [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] but more shiny. The plain-colors version was the first release and has an Autobot symbol tampograph on his shoulder as per [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the cartoon]], while the later metallic-finish version instead came with a decal sheet.

:Along with ''Choro-Q'' [[Mirage (G1)|Ligier]] and [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], Convoy was given out randomly to convention attendees. Each toy was limited to 1000 pieces.

As with the previous non-chase Prime figure, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.

**''Accessories'': Stand

:For the fourth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, Prime was rendered weaponless, speaking into the open communication panel on his left arm. Like all the figures in the fourth wave, Prime was available in both standard full color and metallic silver "pewter" versions, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.

: Care should be taken when moving the joints of the pewter version, as is not uncommon for the connector pegs to have gotten painted as well, resulting in stuck limbs and tearing joints. Shaving the interior of the socket slightly with a hobby knife is usually sufficient to relieve the issue. (This holds true for all other pewter figures on this list, and in fact the entire dang line from here on.)

: In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of Prime came packaged with the left arm of the collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Metroplex]] build-a-figure; these parts were either in full color or clear-plastic, packed at an equal ratio of four out of eight cases.

:The sixth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave featured yet another mass-release version of Optimus. While this Optimus is wielding Megatron (using the same mold as the chase figure from the second Act), he has entirely new-mold arms, plus an interchangeable empty right fist. On top of that he was extensively redecoed: he's actually cast in different shades of light salmon plastic and heavily painted over in an overall darker, less saturated scheme, his normally-white parts now in medium-gray. His pec-windows are painted with a weird shiny dark blue that gives them a translucent look. The figure was available in both full color and pewter versions in an equal ratio.

: In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version came with the head for the wave's [[Grand Maximus#Super Collection Figure|Grand Maximus]] build-a-figure, packed at a ratio of six color parts to two pewter per case.

:In eight out of every ten cases, the colored version came with the right arm for the wave's [[Scorponok_(G1)#Super_Collection_Figure|Scorponok]] build-a-figure; this part could be in either full color or pewter, at a 4:4 ratio.

==''Heroes of Cybertron''==
[[File:HOC Optimus.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Hey Spike, pull my finger.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2002/2006)

: Part of the first wave of Hasbro's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)#Heroes of Cybertron|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' series, Optimus is a [[redeco]] of the standard ''Super Collection Figure'' Optimus mold, with a ''slight'' [[retool]]ing to give him longer, thicker, rounded-off helmet antennae [[for safety reasons]]. Like all the standard ''Heroes'' figures, he is cast in transparent plastic, then painted over, save for the eyes and a small patch on the back of his head, giving him a [[light-piping]] gimmick. There are a few other small deco differences to the ''Heroes'' version, such as his helmet crest changing from white to gray.

: Optimus was re-released in 2006 as part of a short-lived ''Heroes of Cybertron'' revival, celebrating the 2006 DVD release of the original ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Cast in solid-white plastic rather than translucent blue, this makes him ''very'' similar to the original ''SCF'' toy, but he retained the thicker antennae, plus got some very minor paint changes on the head: his crest-vent went back to white, and oddly his eyes are white too, rather than the ''SCF'' version's chest-window light blue.

*'''Powermaster Optimus Prime Apex Armor''' (2002)

: An unexpected addition to the line, especially in the first wave next to another Optimus (see above), "Apex Armor" Optimus is a [[redeco]] of [[Ginrai (robot)#Super Collection Figure|God Ginrai]], the double-armored-up form of Optimus's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' lookalike [[Ginrai (robot)|Ginrai]]. There are a few small paint differences between God Ginrai and Apex Armor Prime (beyond the obvious "opaque vs clear-plastic base figure" thing, we mean), most notably that the many parts on God Ginrai that are darker unpainted gray plastic, like the thighs and side-panels/guns on the lower legs, have been painted the same light gray as the chest on Optimus.

: This is the first Hasbro-release depiction of Optimus in this mode, later backed up with the release of the full-fledged toy of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#PMOP|Powermaster Optimus Prime]] with [[Apex Bomber]] the following year.

:This second-wave ''Heroes of Cybertron'' release is a variation of the chase figure from the first ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, depicting Prime with his right hand replaced with his energy axe. This figure is a little different from its Japanese progenitor (beyond the "clear-plastic painted over" deal, of course), being painted in normal matte/gloss rather than metallic paint, and replacing the left "pointing" hand with the clenched fist of the later "communicator" version of Optimus. It also retains the ''Heroes'' molding alterations to Optimus's helmet.

: Oddly, he comes with the same collector card as the first version, and the packaging does not call out the energy weapon in any way. The card-back cross-sell even shows only the original Optimus. (The same happened to this wave's energy-weapon-wielding [[Megatron (G1)/merchandise#Heroes of Cybertron|Megatron]].)

**''Accessories:'' extra head for Megatron (with detachable helmet), extra hand for Optimus Prime
{{toydesigner|[[Little IroN]] (concept artist), [["Mad" Alterton]] (sculptor), [[Leandro Sivori]] (painter)}}

:The first entry in the ''Transformers Battlefield'' line by model company [[First 4 Figures]], this 13-inch tall diorama depicts Optimus Prime slugging it out with Megatron. Optimus is posed as though doing a shoulder shove while holding his ion blaster, but a provided "REP" (Replaceable Exterior Part) hand allows buyers to instead recontexualise the pose as a spinning backhand slap. Megatron comes with a REP of a battle damaged version of his head, which features a detachable "helmet" to show off his exposed robo-brain.

:The model was limited to 1,850 pieces worldwide, and came with a numbered certificate of authenticity, which allowed buyers to reserve the same number on their next purchase in the series. It also came with an A4 mini-poster depicting the same fight between Optimus and Megatron by artist [[Little IroN]], which was also sold separately as a limited edition A2 poster.

:As a ''Transformers Battlefield'' release, this model featured a detailed base designed to interlock with others in the same range to create a massive battle diorama. Unfortunately, a general discontinuation of First 4 Figures' ''Transformers''-related output put the kibosh on any further ''Battlefield'' models.

*'''Optimus Prime and Snake Eyes''' (<s>2006</s> unreleased)

:Initially announced at UK Toy Fair in 2006<ref>[https://news.tfw2005.com/2006/01/25/first4figures-beast-wars-and-transformers-vs-g-i-joe-statuesbusts-4267 "First4Figures Beast Wars and Transformers VS.

Joe vs. the Transformers]]'' comic tie-in subline. This 8-inch tall bust depicted a one-armed Optimus Prime in the [[Cobra]] [[H.I.S.S. tank|HISS tank]] body he used in that series holding a battle-ready [[Snake-Eyes#First 4 Figures|Snake Eyes]], directly recreating the cover to the [[G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 1|first issue]] of the comic (originally drawn by [[Mike S. Miller]]).

:Unfortunately, this statue was a casualty of F4F's discontinuation of ''Transformers'' product, the result of a challenging marketplace and lack of retailer interest.

:The third reveal in the ''G.I.

Joe vs. the Transformers issue 5|''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers'' issue 5]] (also by Miller). Storm Shadow is only a mite bigger than your standard 3.75" ''G.I. Joe'' figure, making this statue roughly in scale with the rest of your collection!

:After being revealed at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] in 2006,<ref>[https://tformers.com/ig.php?mode=album&album=6265&dispsize=800&start=0 Tformers.com's SDCC 2006 gallery]</ref> "Optimus Prime vs Storm Shadow" was released in January 2007, holding the dubious honour of being the only one of First 4 Figures' ''G.I.

:Softimus Prime is, as his name suggests, a plush G1 Optimus Prime toy. Obviously, he has no problems with articulation and passes the drop test with flying colors. His main draw is the ability to "transform" into his Freightliner FL86 vehicle mode by turning the plush toy inside out, his transformation roughly similar to the Powermaster cab Prime's. He features Movie-style faction symbols on his right arm and both sides of his cab mode. He is love.

*'''Optimus Prime & Ravage''' (Two-pack, 2007)
{{toydesigner|[[Bill Rawley]] (Hasbro)|[[Marcelo Matere]] (concept artist)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' 2-packs (sold under the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|2007 live-action-movie line]] branding), Optimus Prime is a simple, yet well-detailed two-inch tall figurine with exaggerated, cartoony proportions, with swivel articulation at the neck and shoulders. He is sculpted holding his Ion Blaster rifle in his right fist and his left arm in a pointing pose. He is also love, and demands that you pull his [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3#Notes|Finger of Doom]].

: He was sold in a two-pack with [[Ravage (G1)/toys#Robot Heroes|Ravage]], positioned in a way that gives an impression of [http://orig12.deviantart.net/b22b/f/2008/216/7/1/optimus_prime_vs_ravage_by_cobaltkitty.jpg him freaking out to Ravage's size].

: He came in a [[Walmart]] exclusive multipack, alogn with [[Mirage (G1)/toys#RH5pack|Hologram Mirage]], [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Robot Heroes|Cliffjumper]], "Supermetal Finish" [[Megatron (G1)/merchandise#RH5pack|Megatron]], and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Robot Heroes|Skywarp]].

==''Revoltech''==
[[File:Revoltech Convoy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Windowbra! ''(2007 Version pictured)'']]
*'''Convoy''' (2007/2014)
**''Series number:'' '''019'''
**''Legacy of Revoltech ID number'': '''LR-008'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, two clenched fists, gun-wielding right hand, pointing right hand, open left hand

:A non-transforming but ''highly'' articulated Optimus Prime action figure, ''[[Revoltech]]'' Convoy uses the ''Revoltech'' "revolver joints" for maximum poseability. Prime comes with his now-standard ion blaster and Matrix of Leadership accessories, as well as a few alternate hands; while one of the hands is specifically designed to grip the ion blaster, he can't really do anything dramatic with the Matrix, and it just sort of sits in his open-palmed left hand. His sculpting is explicitly in the style of [[Pat Lee|Pat "serfdom" Lee]]'s interpretation of Prime, but due to physical constraints has no lack of perspective.

:Unsurprisingly, this mold was redecoed to create ''Revoltech'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise#Revoltech|Ultra Magnus]]. Magnus comes with a new hand mold that can be used to connect him and Prime together in a handshake.

:The initial reveal of the figure (sculpted by Yamaguchi) features swiveling cut joints instead of "revolver joints" (notably the hip parts), with a rather jarring angled joint on the waist (which results in a "sliced" appearance if swiveled).

:Unfortunately, ''Revoltech'' Convoy cannot be distributed to the US due to licensing restrictions, so fans must rely on online hobby shops to import him.

:In 2014, ''Revoltech'' Convoy was reissued as part of the ''Legacy of Revoltech'' line, with an increased price of 3900 yen. This rerelease uses revised Revoltech joints, which come in matte black instead of glossy and have more ratcheting points than previous releases.

**''Series number:'' 014
**''Accessories:'' Ion Blaster, Energon Axe, 1 pair of splayed hands, 1 pair of trigger hands, left clawed hand, right pointing hand, interlocked hand

:''Amazing Yamaguchi'' Convoy is an all-new take to the Revoltech figure above, but more poseable. Apart from the Ion Blaster, this figure comes with an Energon Axe accessory, and an interlocked hand accessory that is designed to resemble the haymaker that took down Megatron in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

:Unlike the first Revoltech figure, Convoy features painted-details-on-colored-plastic rather than fully coating them. The plastic is noted to have a hollow feel compared to the first figure.

:Due to production delays, the release date was rescheduled from September 29 to October 24.

: He also features a ''lot'' of accessories, more than any other toy in the wave, including a number of episode-specific ones: [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe's]] jetpack from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]", a ridable surfboard from "[[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3]]", energy restraints from "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]", and his giant basketball from "[[The Master Builders (episode)|The Master Builders]]". He also includes a miniature [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#ULTIMATES!|Spike Witwicky]] figurine.

: Preorders for Optimus Prime (and the rest of Wave 1) opened on [[January 29]] 2021, and closed on [[February 28]], with the toys purportedly shipping in winter of that year but not actually arriving until May 2022.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-d1|'''Alligaticon''' (2022)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Optimus Prime head; Optimus Prime rifle; Decepticon tower tip w/ arm; [[Battle taxi]]

: Part of the third wave of ''ULTIMATES!'', the [[Alligaticon#Merchandise|Alligaticon]] is a 10-inch-long non-transforming figure made to emulate the the Optimus-parts creature's cartoon model to pretty exacting detail (including the ''lack'' of detail on most of its flat surfaces). It makes ample use of multi-swivel joints to give its limbs a relatively wide range of motion, plus extensive tail jointing, a mid-body bend, some neck waggle, and an opening jaw.

: It comes with multiple "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]"-themed accessories, including a tower with Optimus's arm attached to it. The arm is permanently attached, but the hand uses the same wrist-joint as the individual Optimus figure, and can be popped off and replaced with his other hands if you like (Optimus's wrist-pegs are larger than many other figures', so sadly cross-compatibility is limited at best). Curiously, while the arm appears to be identical to the prior figure's arm, the gun is not, having a trigger guard the original version lacks.

: It also comes with Optimus's disembodied head on a ball-jointed "neck" with trailing wires. Like the arm, the head is the same mold as the original Optimus, but this time cast in clear-blue plastic painted over, with a small gap in the back of the head to attempt [[light-piping]]... but depending on the strength of the light, it might just shine through the paint. Since it's the same mold, one could theoretically swap it out, but trying to push that wire-mass back into the socket seems like it'd be a bit of a pain in the neck (wocka wocka!).

: Preorders for the Alligaticon (and the rest of Wave 3) opened on [[December 1]], 2021, with the toys projected to ship in fall 2022... and ''actually'' shipping in November 202''3''.

:This Optimus lacks a robot mode, though his face is sculpted into the bottom of the truck undercarriage. As is the case with most ''Hot Wheels'' releases, the packaging depicts a realistic render of the miniature vehicle.

==''BEYBLADE X''==
[[File:Beyblade_X_Transformers_OptimusPrime.jpg|thumb|Not pictured: Optimus Prime using this to part the Red Sea.]]
*'''Optimus Prime and Megatron Multipack Set''' (2024)

:'''Optimus Prime 4-60P''' consists of three pieces that can be interchanged with those of [[Beyblade#BEYBLADE_X|other ''BEYBLADE X'' tops]]; an attacking '''Blade''' primarily made of metal, a '''Ratchet''' that locks parts together and determines height, and a '''Bit''' that touches the ground and determines movement.

:The "Optimus Prime" Blade features a picture of Optimus Prime on its central Gear Chip and is largely a retool of the mainline ''BEYBLADE X'' Blade "Helm Knight", sporting a largely similar metal section with Optimus Prime-themed details and an unaltered plastic underframe. The "4-60" Ratchet and "P" Bit of this Beyblade are recolored parts from other ''BEYBLADE X'' tops.

:While the completed Beyblade is labeled as Balance-type, the "Optimus Prime" Blade is individually labeled on the back of the packaging as Defense-type, presumably due to being a retool of the Defense-type "Helm Knight".

==Blokees==
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2024)
**''Series:'' '''Galaxy Version 01 - Roll Out'''
**''Accessories:'' Pair of open hands, one pointing left hand, Energon Axe, Ion Blaster, Autobot and Decepticon logos, spare balljoint piece, stand

:Released in the first wave of ''Galaxy Version'' line of blind boxes, [[Blokees]] Optimus Prime is a roughly 4-inches tall, highly-articulated, and non-transforming snap-on model kit of the Autobot leader. He is built on a "Standard Body" skeleton shared with other Blokees figures in the line, but with different body pieces to make them distinct from one another. As advertised in the box, buyers have a chance to get an Optimus Prime out of 12 figures.

:Prime comes a pair of closed hands and open hands, along with a left hand molded in a pointing position which is exclusive to this figure. He also comes with his trademark Ion Blaster and Energon axe weapons—the former can be plugged into the closed hands, and the latter can be plugged into either wrists. The barrel of the Ion Blaster is compatible with the blast effects included with Ironhide, Megatron, and Skywarp. He also comes with a stand with four studs on top which he can be plugged into and also be connected to other similar stands.

**''Series:'' '''Galaxy Version 01 - Roll Out'''
**''Accessories:'' Pair of open hands, one pointing left hand, Energon Axe, Ion Blaster, Autobot and Decepticon logos, spare balljoint piece, stand

:The "chase" variant of the concurrently released Optimus Prime figure, which has a much slimmer chance to get out of 36 figures, this version features metallic paint job on almost ''everything'' save for the elbow/knee joints along with more show accurate deco on the crotch, thighs, back, and shins. He comes with the same accessories as his regular counterpart.

'''The Dreadnoks take Cobra Commander prisoner, but are they truly prepared for what they’re about to unleash?'''

==Synopsis==
As he wanders through the Everglades in search of [[Cobra Commander]], the [[Cobra-La]] [[Nemesis Enforcer|Enforcer]] curses his charge and hopes that he's in pain. At that moment, the Commander finds himself in the jaws of a giant, [[energon]]-enhanced alligator. He pulls out his gun to shoot the creature, but it has little effect. As the gator pulls him further underwater, a harpoon shoots down from above and ensnares them both.

Meanwhile, [[Zarana]], [[Ripper (G.I. Joe)|Ripper]], and [[Buzzer (G.I. Joe)|Buzzer]] arrive at the [[Dreadnok]]s' bar for their "family meeting". Zarana reminds the rest of the gang that "the juice" — Energon — is their key to success, but only so long as no one else comes looking for it like the Commander did. At that moment, Zarana's twin brother [[Zandar]] arrives with the Commander in tow. Buzzer attempts to take off the Commander's mask, but is zapped with electricity in response. Zarana then commands [[Torch (G.I. Joe)|Torch]] to try, but his eponymous tool is unable to do anything more than scorch the outer shell. Zarana points out that while his mask won't come off, the rest of him isn't protected.

The Dreadnoks each then take turns torturing the Commander, trying to figure out what he knows about their operations and about the energon. As they do, the Commander listens to their conversations and learns more about each of them. Ripper applauds the Commander's endurance and muses that they might need to take a more subtle approach. He then paints a smiley face on the Commander’s mask in his own blood. As Zandar comes in to begin the next round, the Commander begins to turn the Dreadnoks against each other, first by telling him that [[Zartan|his brother]] sent him because Zarana doesn't trust him, then revealing to Buzzer that Zandar thinks he's a poser because of his background, and finally taunting that Zarana is losing control of her people.

Tired of the Commander's mind games, Zarana orders the Dreadnoks to take him to "the bunker" where "the doctor" is working. However, the Commander chooses then to activate his tracking device. Fearing what might happen if more people discover the Energon, the Dreadnoks try to get rid of the Commander, but the enforcer has already arrived. Buzzer attacks him with his chainsaw, but only manages to take off part of his disguise, shocking the Dreadnoks. The Commander tells the enforcer that the Energon reserves he's found are enough to power the armies of Cobra-La, and that the Dreadnoks are the only things standing in the way of them fulfilling their mission to [[Golobulus]]. Refusing to let anyone defy their master, the enforcer sheds his disguise, revealing his true form of purple Cobra-La armor and wings! He mercilessly tears into the Dreadnoks as Cobra Commander looks on, smiling.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* The snake that Nemesis Enforcer kills on the first page is shown to have the same glowing purple eyes as the alligators that attack Cobra Commander, showing that the effect of Energon on the local wildlife is widespread.

===G.I. Joe references===
* Cobra Commander’s mask is rigged with electricity to prevent it from being removed, something that harkens back to the Marvel Comics series, where the Commander's mask was lined with explosives to prevent anyone tampering with it.
* Zandar references his and Zarana's brother [[Zartan]], leader of the Dreadnoks. Zarana states he's currently undercover, which fits the master of disguise.
* Buzzer's backstory as a Cambridge academic who became a biker while researching them is ripped directly from Buzzer's original file card. This issue also sees his speech peppered with more British colloquialisms.
* Cobra Commander's enforcer is here revealed to be Nemesis Enforcer, another classic [[Cobra-La]] character that originates from ''G.I. Joe: The Movie''.

===Transformers references===
* Zarana possesses an [[Energon cube]], marking the first time that the substance has been seen in this form in the Energon Universe.

===Errors===
* As with previous issues, the back cover incorrectly reads "The contents of this booklet is confidential. This unauthorized disclosure of information within is prohibited."

* '''Cover A:''' Cobra Commander is tortured by Zarana, by Andrea Milana and Annalisa Leoni.

Arcee (Cyberverse)

:''Arcee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:CyberverseArcee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|But is she [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron's sister]]?.]]
'''Arcee''' is a loyal member of [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]]'s crew with an adventurous streak a mile wide. No chance of danger is too high to dissuade her from seeking out something new, with plenty of selfies taken to document the things she's seen and the places she's been. It's therefore no surprise at all that she's one of [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]]'s closest friends.

She's also REALLY likes guns. Like...to a worrying degree.

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e11-Sabotage-Arcee-AllSpark-found-(false-memory).jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|"No, no, this is a *genuine* smile! Don't run away!"]]
Arcee was present at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]] when the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]] [[Cube (sport)|Cube]] team won. {{storylink|The Citizen}} Arcee and [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] had numerous adventures together, that included fending off a horde of wild [[Bantor (Cyberverse)|Bantor]]s by mimicking their call and weathering the collapse of an icy moon. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}} Arcee was present during [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]'s speech to the masses when he was unveiling the Decepticons but signed onto the Autobots when the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] broke out. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

After it was determined that Optimus had made a mistake in launching the [[AllSpark]], the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']] was launched to retrieve it, Arcee amongst its crew. As the ship sailed through the void however, its [[energon]] stores dipped forcing the crew into [[stasis pod]]s. [[Teletraan-1 (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-1]] eventually tracked the AllSpark to [[Earth]] only for the ''Ark'' to suffer a hull breach and crash land in [[Mount St. Hilary]]. Some 66 million years later, Arcee, along with the rest of the crew, was reawakened by [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]] in time to see the [[Decepticon fleet]] invade Earth. {{storylink|Eruption}}

The Cybertronians eventually became known to [[human]]kind, {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} with Arcee using this publicity to visit a zoo and take photos of herself with the animals. She later used her photos of the animals she had encountered on her travels to help Bumblebee identify the [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|creature]] he saw on the moon. {{storylink|The Visitor}}

Once the AllSpark had been retrieved, the Autobots set course back for Cybertron, enjoying a victory celebration on the way. Along with her crew-mates, Arcee fell victim of [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack's]] malfunctioning AllSpark Energy Emitter Badges, driving her to attack everything in a maddened rage. Optimus eventually managed to shut down the chips, and later made the ultimate sacrifice, dancing, to get the victory celebration back on track. {{storylink|Party Down}}

After forty cycles of maddening boredom, Arcee joined Grimlock in visiting a nearby nebula only to find it uneventful. When the duo returned, they found that their ship and crew-mates had been immobilized by an electromagnetic storm that the dull nebula had shielded them from, with Arcee snapping a selfie of her and the prone [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]]. As Arcee theorized how to reboot the ship, she found Grimlock's attention seized by a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]]. As the two marvelled at the creatures, they soon realized that the beasts posed a threat to the immobilized ship. Recreating the plan used against the Bantors, the duo lured the Air Hammers away via a pimped out [[Autobot shuttle]] and Arcee mimicking an Air Hammer call.

As she and Grimlock patted themselves on the back, they remembered that Air Hammers heralded meteor showers. Recalling the time the ''Ark'' ran across the crystal ice moon, Arcee and Grimlock broke out the heavy artillery and shot the rocks from atop the hull. Once they were all taken care of, Arcee reminded Grimlock that comets were often the herald of a supernova. As realization set in, the two tried to use the AllSpark and the prone [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] to reboot the shields. Eventually the two tried to use their [[spark]]s to restart the ship and as they quarrelled over who would sacrifice themselves, [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]] showed up and simply pressed a big red button to reboot the ship allowing the supernova to pass harmlessly. As normal operations resumed, Arcee smiled to Grimlock that they should go on another such adventure in the future. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

As the ''Ark'' entered [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s atmosphere, [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] asked other Autobots what they planned doing once they got home. Arcee replied that she wanted to kick back and relax after unpacking all her souvenirs from Earth. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} Along with the rest of the crew, Arcee bailed out of the ship when Optimus suspected a Decepticon trap. She took part in the fight with the amassed Decepticon forces, during which she rode on Grimlock's back while opening fire only to be blasted by [[Alpha Strike]]. She recovered in time to fight [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]]. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

As the battle began to stalemate, gigantic versions of [[Shockwave's drones]], surrounding the Autobots. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}} Despite the drones' intimidating appearance, the Autobots soon overcame their shock and leapt back into battle, their nimbler frames allowing them to fell the war beasts before Bumblebee and Cheetor returned the AllSpark to the Well, revitalizing the planet and ending the war. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

After the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] was won in the Autobots' favor, Arcee was among the Transformers imprisoned by the [[Quintesson]]s in the Loop, which made her relive the same five minutes of a parade over and over, during which she was talking selfies with her friends. {{storylink|The Loop}} {{storylink|The Sleeper}} Arcee was eventually freed from the simulation alongside the other Autobots thanks to the Cybertronian resistance, who got them to transform when they unleashed Air Hammers into the Loop. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

As part of a team-building exercise, Arcee was placed in a team with Bumblebee, [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]], and [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]], taking on swarms of drones. {{storylink|The Alliance}} When it was determined that the only way to destroy the Quintesson flagship was to draw out the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] and its army, [[Iaconus]]' cloak was deactivated and Arcee joined the fight against the endless [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]] and [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutor]] hordes alongside Shadow Striker and Lockdown. When both the Judge and the ship were destroyed, a new Judge hovered out of the wreckage revealing itself to be [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Like the rest of her species, Arcee was imprisoned by Starscream, intending to draw out the trial by humiliating Optimus Prime and Megatron. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} As Starscream continued his temper tantrum, Arcee lied that Prime and Megatron were hiding out at the [[Lithium Flats]] and the Core of the Singing Lights at [[Binary City]] before inviting her friends to join the lying. Seeing through the ruse, Starscream seized Arcee and intended to execute her before Iaconus reactivated. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}}

Held in Starscream's [[tractor beam]], Arcee was sent falling back into the cell when the Judge intervened in Iaconus' dual with [[Croaton (Cyberverse)|Croaton]] before they were all freed by [[Maccadam]] and sent fleeing before the Titans destroyed the coliseum they were held in. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}} After Starscream had managed to slay Iaconus, it seemed as though his victory was assured before Megatron returned and saved the universe. With the Quintesson threat ended, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

As the Autobots rebuilt Iacon, Arcee questioned Optimus on which metal to use for the reconstruction of the [[Gigax Comm Array]]. {{storylink|Enemy Line}} Hanging out with Hot Rod and Grimlock in [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]], Arcee witnessed the revival premiere of ''[[Alien Hunt!]]'', celebrating its return. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

Suspecting that Megatron was up to something, Optimus Prime sent Arcee to scout Decepticon territory but she could not find any unusual activity to report. {{storylink|Rack 'n' Ruin 'n' Ratchet}} When another scouting party discovered evidence of an oncoming threat, Arcee attended a briefing on the subject only for Optimus to freeze up as the Matrix called to him. {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}}

Along with Hot Rod, Arcee was assigned to mission control duties when the larger Autobot force snuck across the border, assuring Optimus that the army was on standby if need be. When a hemisphere encompassing shield went up however, the Autobots in Iacon lost contact with the strike force. {{storylink|Silent Strike}} Once the threat had passed and peace properly returned to Cybertron, Arcee joined her friends in cheering [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]]'s return. {{storylink|The Other One}}

After raiding the Tomb of [[Nexus Prime]], Arcee and Grimlock fled from a giant invisible bird. They escaped in a shuttle, and after taking inventory of their loot, including the [[Enigma of Combination]], realized they were unfashionably late for the signing of the [[Treaty of the Wall|peace treaty]].
When they returned to Cybertron, they found the entire population time locked by [[Trypticon (Cyberverse)|Trypticon’s]] [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]]. The pair armed themselves and split up to search the planet to discover the cause of everyone’s immobilization. Arcee saw [[Buzzsaw (Cyberverse)|Buzzsaw]] flying overhead, and followed him back to Trypticon’s ship. She confronted [[Soundblaster (Cyberverse)|Soundblaster]] and the other Mercenaries, but Soundblaster froze her like the rest of Cybertron. [[Afterburner (Cyberverse)|Afterburner]] left her upside-down at the top of a stack of similarly immobile Cybertronians, where she was discovered by Grimlock. Grimlock and the [[Dinobot (Cyberverse)|Dinobots]] carried her through various battles, and she was eventually restored along with the rest of the planet, and Grimlock introduced her to his new friends. {{storylink|The Immobilizers}}

Following [[Tarn (Cyberverse)|Tarn’s]] invasion of Cybertron, Arcee was attacked by [[Decepticon supersoldier]]s along with Wheeljack and Clobber, but held them off with help from Lockdown. Arcee joined Hot Rod and the other Autobot forces underground to form a plan to take back the planet. The Autobots attacked Tarn’s forces, and Arcee charged into battle with Chromia to attack several supersoldiers. She later looked on in shock as the smoke cleared following Soundwave’s sacrifice. {{storylink|The Perfect Decepticon}}

After [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] and [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] obtained the [[AllSpark]], Arcee and [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] fought them to retrieve it. Although, Soundwave managed to overpower Arcee, she came back for round two and knocked out the Decepticon with a single kick, causing his teammate Starscream to retreat.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9ppUE6pjt8 Soundwave Vs Arcee | Episode 3 | NEW Stop Motion | FULL Episode | Transformers Official]</ref>

[[File:TF-Cyberverse-2018-Deluxe-Arcee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Sadly, doesn't come with a cute little phone.]]
*'''Arcee''' (Deluxe Class, 2020-2021)
**''Build-a-Figure part'': Maccadam's shoulders and weapon (2020 release only)
**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[November 28]], [[2020]]
**''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''Action Master-07'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster, [[Fire Blast effect|effect parts]]
**''Action Attack'': "Dual Energon Lasers"

:Released as part of the ''Cyberverse'' [[Transformers:_Cyberverse_(toyline)#Deluxe_Class|Deluxe Class]] lineup, Arcee is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most figures of the toyline and comes with three pieces of the Build-a-Figure [[Maccadam#Toys|Maccadam]]. She also comes with a blaster based on her in-show firearm, with two effect parts to go with it. In vehicle mode, the effect parts can mount in 2 holes on the back of her trunk, simulating an energon boost. The effect parts can be held in her hands to emulate the dual blue swords of many other Arcee toys. She is nearly a complete [[Shellformer|shellformer]], with her entire vehicle mode folding up onto her back, and only her forearms contributing anything to her alternate mode at all.

:Some releases of this figure experienced rapid [[photodegradation|discoloration]] of the lighter pink parts in only a few months, leaving the forearms, thighs and neck parts yellowed even if not exposed to sun. Ironically, this discoloration results in [[Arcee (G1)/toys#The_Transformers|orange-colored parts]].

:Arcee was released twice: First in 2020 under the ''Bumblebee: Cyberverse Adventures'' [[subline imprint]], and then again in 2021 in the line's final ''Dinobots Unite'' subline imprint packaging refresh. The second release omitted the Maccadam Build-a-Figure part.

**''Series'': '''3'''
**''Bag code'': '''E2'''

: Part of the third Series of ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Arcee is a 1.5-inch soft-plastic figure that transforms into a Cybertronian car in a few steps. Her right hand has a blaster molded into it while her left hand is compatible with 3 mm weapons and acessories.

: Currently, Series 3 has not been spotted in the US, appearing only in Canada, Germany, Norway and Taiwan.

==Notes==
*As with several of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Arcee uses an [[evergreen]] design inspired by her Generation 1 [[Arcee (G1)|counterpart]] but with some minor stylistic tweaks.

**''Takara ID number'': '''06'''
**''Takara release date'': [[1985]]
**''Accessories'': [[photon rifle]], missile launcher, 3 missiles
{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)}}
:Originally a pre-''Transformers'' ''[[Diaclone]]'' Porsche 935 Turbo, ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Jazz was part of the original assortment of Autobots released in 1984. He transforms into a Martini Racing Porsche 935/76, specifically the Martini-sponsored 935 which won the first circuit of the {{w|1976 World Championship for Makes}}, the Mugello Circuit. Like other Autobots who sported similar "sponsor" decals, however, Jazz's stickers deliberately misspell his sponsor as "Martinii". In [[robot mode]], he is armed with a silver [[photon rifle]] and a shoulder-mounted, spring-loaded rocket launcher that can fire three silver missiles. Like all his 1984 brethren, Jazz gained a heat-activated [[rubsign]] in 1985, added to the right-hand side of his hood.

:The packaging for the [[Milton Bradley]] release of Jazz in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain sported an additional "Porsche" remark after his name. The significance of this is still unknown at this point.

:In an undocumented feature, unpegging the hands from the shoulders in vehicle mode gives the figure working steering.

:This mold was also used to make (the originally Japanese-exclusive) [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Stepper]], later renamed Ricochet for Hasbro's reissue.

**''Accessories'': photon rifle, missile launcher, 3 missiles
:In 1985, Jazz was also made available as a giveaway [[exclusive]] through a [[Cookie Crisp]] cereal contest. This edition of the figure features modified [[sticker]]s that lack all "Martinii" and "Porsche" detailing: the factory-applied door stickers (which were simply placed directly on top of the normal door stickers!) and the customer-applied stickers on the windscreen, spoiler top and sides. He came with his normal [[instructions]] and a copy of his box-back bio (minus the "[[Tech Spec]]" part) as a glossy-paper mini-card, printed in black and white.

:Per the contest rules, as many as 25,000 of these figures may have been given away.

*'''Jazz''' ([[Classic Pretender]], [[1989]])
**''Accessories:'' 2-piece [[Pretender]] shell, helmet, laser, rifle
:Classic Pretender Jazz is a highly simplified version of his original toy, still transforming into a Porsche 935 Turbo. He is armed with a black gun (named only a "laser" in his instructions, but identified as a [[photon rifle]] in his [[Tech Spec]]s), which can mount on his roof in vehicle mode.

:Jazz's two-piece Pretender shell resembles a human in a blue and white armored space suit with a removable helmet. The shell is armed with a large black rifle (given the dramatic identifier of a semi-automatic [[ion pulse gun]], according to his Tech Specs), and when Jazz is stored inside, it can also hold the smaller robot's photon rifle, thanks to the weapon's multi-width peg.

:Available [[exclusive]]ly at American [[Kmart]] stores, the [[Legends (G1)|Legends]] version of Jazz is simply the inner robot of the Classic Pretender toy without the shell or its accessories, leaving him only a small handgun... however, it happens to be ''[[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#G1Legend|Bumblebee]]'s'' [[laser pistol]].

There are two known versions of Jazz. In one version the factory applied sticker on the car hood is applied upside down. The other version is the same as the Hasbro release.

:In Italy, [[GiG]] released their own version of the Hero Set, named "Set Commandos", instead of the Classic Pretender versions of the toys. Here, Jazz was named "Folgore", originally the Italian name of [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]. The "Set Commandos" toys were identical to the Japanese "Hero Set" versions, including the two sticker variations.

*'''Jazz w/ Turbo Board''' ([[Action Master]], [[1990]])
**''Italian Name:'' '''Bionic'''
**''Accessories:'' [[electromagnetizer gun]], Turbo Board
:Part of the first assortment of individually-carded [[Action Master]] figures, Jazz's sculpt was based upon his cartoon model, but with some of the toy details added in. Like all (well, most) Action Master figures, he cannot transform, but has extra posability (mostly in his legs) far beyond that of his original toy. He is compatible with all Action Master accessories and vehicles, and comes with the [[Turbo Board]] mini-vehicle, which also converts into a colossal cannon he can carry.

:There are reportedly several minor variations of this figure, all regarding the color of his headlights. Some have them unpainted, while others are light blue or greenish-blue.

:Jazz was reissued in Europe and Australia in 1990 as part of the ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' line. This version is ''mostly'' identical to the original toy, but it uses the Cookie Crisp edition's factory-applied door stickers that lack the "Martinii" logos. The customer-applied stickers are the same as the original release, and thus did include the "Martinii Porsche" decals for the windshield and rear spoiler.

*'''Jazz''' (Autobot Car, [[1993]])
**''Accessories:'' photon rifle, missile launcher, 2 missiles
:''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Jazz is a slight [[retool]] and (literal) [[repaint]] of the original toy. The chrome feet have been narrowed, omitting two tabs. His face (apparently degraded from [[mold]] usage) now has a strange unintentional smirk. His roof has been retooled with a small hole to accommodate his new bright green, spring-loaded missile launcher. All of his "Martinii" stickers have been replaced with various new stickers depicting his name and the number "1" laid over a rainbow-colored musical note.

:This mold became the basis for future reissues of Jazz, minus the roof hole retooling but retaining his smirk.

:The missile launcher was not created for the ''Generation 2'' line, but came from the [http://www.yojoe.com/action/91/snowserpent2.shtml Snow Serpent] from the ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' toyline. The same launcher was used in the ''Generation 2'' re-releases of [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys|Sideswipe]] and [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]].

*'''Jazz''' (Laser Cycle, <strike>[[1995]]</strike>)
:A [[redeco]] of the [[Laser Cycle]] [[Road Rocket (G2)#Toys|Road Rocket]] was planned as Jazz, but like many other planned late-1995 ''Generation 2'' redecos, ultimately never saw release. Interestingly, many of these — including Jazz and fellow Laser Cycle redeco [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#LaserCycle|Soundwave]] — ''were'' solicited in various store catalogues, such as the Sears Wish Book. Some packaged samples of this toy do exist, but there are estimated to be less than a dozen in existence. Jazz would have transformed from a white, yellow, and green Yamaha GTS1000 motorcycle, with an LED-lit arm-mounted buzzsaw that formed part of his rear wheel assembly in cycle mode.

:This mold was later [[retool]]ed to make the ''[[Microman]]: [[Microman#Micro Millennium (1998-2000)|LED Powers]]'' toys [[Microman#MachSpeeder|Mach Speeder]] and [[Microman#HyperSpeeder|Hyper Speeder]]; the retooled mold was then used to make [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Sideways (RID)#Toys|Sideways]] and ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' [[Road Rocket (G2)#Robotmasters|Road Rocket]].

===''The Transformers Collection''===
[[File:G1toy tfc jazz.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
*'''Meister''' (Transformers Collection, [[July 20]], [[2002]])
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
**''Accessories:'' photon rifle, missile launcher, 3 missiles
:Jazz was the first entry in Takara's ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' series of reissues, featuring collectible "book-box" packaging. The figure uses the retooled version of the Jazz mold used in ''Generation 2'', with narrower feet, though the peg-hole in his roof has been removed. Continued degradation of the mold in the intervening years led to further problems with the toy: in addition to the overall looseness of its joints, the toy's face is further deteriorated from the ''Generation 2'' use of the mold, now displaying a gape-mouthed smirk (see inset in picture), and its roof and rear windows no longer align perfectly.

:In addition to these unfortunate, unintentional changes from the original, some intentional changes were made to the figure's stickers. The original toy's "Martinii" sponsor decals on his hood and door are modified to instead display his Japanese name, "Meister", while the "Martinii Porsche" decal across the top of his windshield now reads "Agent Meister".

:A second production run of this figure replaced the original toolings for the weapons with the modified versions that came with Hasbro's ''Commemorative Series'' reissue (see [[#Commemorative Series|below]]).

:A ''[[The Transformers: Collector's Edition|Collector's Edition]]'' [[e-HOBBY]] [[exclusive]], this version of Jazz is almost entirely constructed of vacuum-metalized gold plastic. Fingerprints and chipping, ahoy! It uses the degraded mold of the ''Transformers Collection'' figure, and was only available in a set with the "Anime Version" redeco of [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys|Bluestreak]]. Both figures came in the generic red Autobot packaging shared by nearly all eHobby figures.

:This toy's coloration re-creates the "Gold Porsche" [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] figure available in limited numbers during the ''[[Diaclone]]'' franchise, before ''The Transformers''. That said, the original e-HOBBY listing noted its resemblance to the [[electrum]]-coated characters in the episode "[[The Golden Lagoon (episode)|The Golden Lagoon]]"<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20020705205134/http://e-hobby.sputniknext.com:81/index9_1277.html e-HOBBY listing:] "This item really reminds you of the episode 'Secret of the Golden Lagoon'."</ref> (despite Jazz appearing only briefly in that episode, with no speaking lines).

The alignment problem with the roof and the rear windows has been fixed.

:The weapons have been heavily [[retool]]ed [[for safety reasons]]: The chrome finish is missing, the missiles have been elongated and can only be inserted one way, the nub on the back of the launcher has also been elongated, the launcher barrel can come off the mount, and the trigger has been altered as well.

**''Accessories:'' rifle
:[[Spychanger|Spy Changer]] Jazz is a redeco of [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Spychanger]] [[Side Burn (RID)#Spychanger|Side Burn]]. He transforms into a 1:64-scale [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Dodge Viper]] with Jazz's classic white Martini Racing colour scheme and livery, via [[sticker]]s. Like all [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]] molds, he features high-speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly. His rifle is stored between his legs, acting as a tailpipe in vehicle mode.

:This toy was originally exclusively available at [[KB Toys]] stores in 2004, in generic ''Transformers'' packaging with no additional sub-line header. The same toy was later re-released in ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' packaging in 2005, now available from discount chains such as Dollar General and Family Dollar. Jazz was one of three figures released again as part of a second wave of the ''Universe''-branded line-up, with several alterations to the packaging such as a different [[cross-sell]] on the back, a different "Hasbro" logo, and even a different ''function'' (wave 1 Jazz is a "special operations expert", whereas wave 2 Jazz is a "special ops agent").

:This mold was originally intended for release in ''Generation 2'' as an [[Black Viper Go-Bot|unspecified character]].

**''Alternators ID number:'' '''7'''
**''Binaltech ID number:'' '''BT-08'''
**''Accessories:'' muffler-blaster
{{toydesigner|[[Mark McCall]] (Hasbro), [[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Marcelo Matere]] (packaging artist, rerelease)}}

:For the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line, "Meister" (the Hasbro release uses the Japanese-market name as well for a change) was given a new [[alternate mode]], namely a highly accurate, [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] 1:24 [[scale]] white [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Mazda RX-8]]. He features an opening hood with engine, opening "suicide" doors and an opening trunk, as well as a detailed interior with seats and a dashboard complete with steering wheel. His front wheels feature a working "steering" mechanism (which is not connected to the steering wheel, though), and all four wheels are equipped with [[rubber tires]]. In robot mode, Meister is sculpted to resemble both the original Generation 1 Jazz toy and the G1 [[character model|cartoon model]]. He is armed with a rifle that transforms from his muffler; the peg used to attach the muffler in vehicle mode actually plugs into the holes on his forearms near the elbow joints, allowing the blaster to be attached there.

:Takara's ''Binaltech'' version of this sculpt differs from Hasbro's ''Alternators'' version by having his car shell partially constructed of [[die-cast]] metal, as well as having all the car body parts (including those made out of plastic) covered in paint and the side mirrors [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metalized]], while the steering wheel is made of hard plastic. By contrast, the ''Alternators'' version has the car shell made entirely out of plastic (in standard white compared to the ''Binaltech'' version's slightly more creamy shade), the side mirrors are unpainted, and the steering wheel is made of a rubber-y plastic. Furthermore, there are some tooling differences as well: Like [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Streak/Silverstreak]] before, the ''Binaltech'' version's steering wheel is placed on the right side of the dashboard (like on a Japanese car), whereas it's located on the left side on the ''Alternators'' version (like on an American car). In addition, the ''Binaltech'' version's "steering" mechanism uses a magnet assembly to connect the steering axle to the front wheels (which are attached to the robot mode shoulders), whereas the ''Alternators'' version uses a plastic insertion point. The ''Binaltech'' version also comes with a large Autobot [[insignia]] sticker that can be applied to a real car.

:This toy was redecoed into the simultaneously available "Velocity Red Mica Edition" (see below), and later retooled into a Mazdaspeed RX-8 as [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Shockblast/Laserwave]], the [[Autorooper]], and later as Argent Meister (see below).

: Simultaneous with his standard release, ''Binaltech'' Meister was also available in a red variant in its own unique packaging. The two figures shipped in cases together in an equal ratio.

:One of the first releases of the short-lived (and final) revival of the ''Binaltech'' line, this version of Meister utilizes the "Mazdaspeed Version II" retooled RX-8 body introduced with [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Shockblast/Laserwave]], but using the original Meister head and left hand, rather than Shockblast's arm cannon. It is touted as a "Movie Version", somewhat resembling the look of the [[Movie (franchise)|live-action movie]] [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], due to its silver paint job.

{{toydesigner|[[Tomoya Miyake]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}
:Part of the fifth wave of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)#RTS|2010 ''Transformers'']] Deluxe class toys, Special Ops Jazz transforms from robot into a "street rally" white sports car that looks like Jazz's original Porsche front-end wearing [[Jazz (Movie)|Pontiac Solstice]] headlights for a hat. Jazz has deployable speakers in both robot and vehicle mode,<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/conventions-15/botcon-2010-hasbro-designers-panel-170066/</ref> and his rifle is an update of his [[Classic Pretender]] weapon. The speakers can also combine with his rifle via clips to form a super rifle, or they can be used on any other clip-compatible ''Transformers'' toy. A theme noticed in a few of the updated G1 Transformers is the backwards compatibility with the original character's weapons. Jazz is able to wield his G1 toy's shoulder rocket launcher on his neck though sadly both his original toy's photon rifle and his Pretender figure's weapon are incompatible with the toy. As part of the first wave of the ''Reveal the Shield'' promotion, he sports a [[rubsign]].

:This mold was later redecoed into ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' [[Ricochet (Headmasters)#United 2|Stepper]], ''Timelines''/''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Longarm (SG)|Longarm]] and [[Stepper (SG)|Stepper]], and the mold's alternate head was used to make [[Treadshot (SG)|Treadshot]]. It was also retooled to make ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Wheelie (G1)#Generations|Wheelie]] and ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Kick-Off (G1)#Timelines|Kick-Over]], and was ''intended'' to be retooled into ''Generations'' [[Nightbeat (G1)#Generations|Nightbeat]], who ended up as a retool of an [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Deluxe|entirely different sculpt]] instead.

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' toys, this redeco of Deluxe Class Special Ops Jazz is cast in brighter non-metallic glossy white plastic, uses darker blue and red paints, and has a painted grill, feet, shins, stomach, rear windows, taillights, and wheel rims. He also has an Autobot logo on the hood and no rubsign. Unlike the earlier variants of Special Ops Jazz, ''United'' Jazz's forearms are molded in white plastic. The toy's packaging names his combined speaker-gun a "[[sonic cannon]] mode".

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (2011)
**''Set number'': '''31146'''
**''Pieces'': '''122'''
**''Kreons'': Jazz, Race Driver
**''Accessories'': pistol
:The ''[[Kre-O]]'' Jazz set is based primarily on Generation 1 Jazz in deco, with a head sculpt heavily based on ''Reveal the Shield'' [[#Transformers (2010)|Special Ops Jazz]]'s head, but with [[Live-action film series|Movie]] [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]]'s silver coloration. He transforms into a generic sports car that doesn't really look like either of Jazz's alternate modes, with opening doors and a flip-up roof. Sadly, neither of these features is actually useful for inserting a driver (the gap left by opening the roof is too small, and the sides are blocked by unfortunately-placed horizontal bars), but at least the thought was there.

:The included Jazz Kreon is based directly on his ''Generation 1'' self, with his characteristic coloration and deco, and "door wings." He also comes with a generic light gray gun used by some of the other Kreons that can resemble Jazz's [[photon rifle]] if you squint hard enough. The "Race Driver" Kreon wears a red and light gray racing suit and helmet, and also has a light gray baseball cap so he doesn't have to wear his helmet all the time. How thoughtful!

:This set shows signs of having been slightly redesigned late in production. Included among the pieces is a red seat which is not used in either mode; there is an obvious place where it "belongs" in the middle of the car's cabin, but it cannot actually fit there due to other parts interfering. (Interestingly enough, [[LEGO|a certain other company's]] equivalent piece ''will'' fit, thanks to its slightly different design.) Similarly, there is a black sticker with "vent" detailing which the builder is never instructed to apply anywhere, though according to stock photography, it is intended for Jazz's abdomen/pelvis section. Later releases of the set didn't include the seat, but still retained the unused sticker.

:Part of the first wave of [[2012]] ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#FOC|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' "Autobot Jazz" transforms into a Cybertronian racer. His blaster pistol has a [[C joint|3 mm hole]] running through it, and can mount via [[5 mm post]] onto his roof, forearms/rear vehicle side, and hands.

:In robot mode, he features a case of [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux parts]]: The centers of his feet are fake wheels (attached to the legs via [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet joints]]) that are hidden in the rear section of his vehicle mode, while his real vehicle mode wheels end up on his forearms and on the sides of his chest (partially obscured by panels).

:A [[Variant#Colors and deco|running change variant]] of Jazz exists in the fourth wave, wherein his white plastic is darker and his translucent visor is cast in light blue instead of the previous extremely dark blue, allowing the light piping to work properly. The [[TakaraTomy]] release features an extensive paint job, with his white plastic being coated in grayish off-white paint, along with numerous additional details.

:This toy was redecoed/retooled into ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Sideswipe (WFC)#Toys|Sideswipe]].

:Unsurprisingly, the ''Fall of Cybertron'' Jazz toy was used for several Generation 1-based stories. The TakaraTomy deco [[Jazz (G1)#Cloud|appeared]] in the ''[[Transformers: All Spark]]'' manga series.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}
:Transforming into a Le Mans-like racing car [[Porsche#Porsche 962|subtly inspired by a Porsche 962]], the ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' version of Jazz is a mostly new mold that reuses the wheels and combiner peg of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Drag Strip (G1)#Generations|Dragstrip]]. Jazz can form a limb for any ''Combiner Wars''-style Combiner (or become one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs). Fans wanting to open this figure should take note that almost all of the roof, hood, and front grill of the figure is simply translucent plastic painted over, so be careful to avoid scratching or chipping these areas. Worse still, some fans have reported that this translucent plastic does not age well; it has a nasty tendency to crack after a few transformations. Again, ''be careful.''

:Like all other ''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe Class figures, he comes with Prime Armor with a place for a [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]] (and by extension, a [[Titan Master#Toys|Titan Master]], [[Enigma of Combination#Generations|Enigma]], or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]]) that can transform into a hand for a Combiner. He also comes with a piece that can fill the gap in the Prime Armor or be held as a gun. Also like the other Deluxe Class figures, the instructions explaining how exactly the armor connects are extremely vague. To connect the armor, the grill portion of Jazz's chest has two indents that fit the tabs on the "thumbs" when inserted at a slight angle. While this matches up to both the instructions and the packaging art, it should be noted that the connection is rather loose. Curiously, Jazz's engineering includes wrist swivels, but the panels molded underneath his forearms render them largely worthless. On another note, his Prime Armor was redecoed for [[Moonracer (G1)#Generations|Moonracer]], [[Firestar (G1)#Generations|Novastar]], [[Punch (G1)#Power of the Primes|Punch-Counterpunch]], and ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[Greenlight#Generations|Greenlight]].

:While not necessarily part of a certain combiner team, his packaging and [[TakaraTomy]] stock photos depict him as part of [[Elita-Infin1te]] while his instructions show him combined with [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Power of the Primes|Grimlock]] and the rest of ''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe Class figures in Wave 1.

:Curiously, the roof and upper section of his hood both sport the iconic Martini racing stripes that were also present on the original Generation 1 figure. [[Copyright|Hopefully, nothing will go wrong.]]

:In November of 2017, ''Power of the Primes'' Jazz became the center of a minor controversy when it was discovered that the figure's deco included the acronym "[[President of the United States|MAGA]]" in tiny [[Cybertronix]] text underneath Jazz's Autobot insignia ({{w|Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016|which, for those of you who have been living under a rock since 2016...}}). When reached for questioning, Hasbro responded that they had not sanctioned the political message and would address the issue with the vendor (corporate language for "freelance artist") responsible.<ref>[https://io9.gizmodo.com/uh-is-this-transformers-toy-a-trump-supporter-1820555691 Uh, Is This Transformers Toy a Trump Supporter?]</ref> A re-release of Jazz as part of wave 3 of the ''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe Class featured a [[variant#Running changes|running change]] that saw the "MAGA" text removed, leaving a blank black space. The variant's date stamp is '''80671'''. While official stock photos of the TakaraTomy release of the figure featured the "MAGA" acronym in Cybertronix, the final toy when released featured the edited tampograph of the Hasbro running change version with a blank black section in its stead.

:Released to commemorate the 35th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', ''[[Studio Series]]'' Jazz is based on his appearance in the original Generation 1 cartoon. Jazz features the number "14" on his side, a combination of the racing numbers on [[#Toys|his original]] and [[#Generation 2|''Generation 2'' toys]] according to designer [[John Warden]], with the intent to "keep it fresh in the alternate universe of [[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War For Cybertron]]" and ensure customizers could choose which number they preferred.<ref>https://twitter.com/wardenfive/status/1317412380750585856 John Warden on Twitter, 17 October 2020</ref> Coincidentally, it is also the release number of his ''Diaclone'' toy.

:Jazz comes packaged with his back kibble unfolded, although his instructions address how to properly fold it up for robot mode. His roof assembly is made of painted translucent plastic—including ''the hinge that holds it to the chassis''—so caution is advised when transforming him. Unfortunately, the two pins used to attach the car roof to the body and rear half have been observed to cause the part itself to inevitably over time develop vertical stress fractures at both ends, regardless of whether or not the figure is transformed even once or if anything is inserted into the 5mm peghole on top.

:The [[unpaintable plastic]] parts, such as the thighs, front wheel wells and the skeletal joints that hold most of his torso together, are prone to a form of [[photodegradation]]. Strangely—similar to [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' Wheeljack]]—the white paint used on the translucent parts ''also'' discolors to a yellowish tinge. This yellowing paint phenomenon is something that had not been observed on ''Transformers'' toys prior to the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''-era of toys, suggesting a different manner of paint mix has been used.

:As with other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a diorama display for the figure. In this case, it shows Jazz's computer terminal and observation window from [[Moonbase One]].

:This figure was retooled with a new head into ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' [[Jackpot (G1)#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Jackpot]], and retooled more extensively into ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' [[Knock Out (Prime)#Legacy|Prime Universe Knock-Out]].

:Part of the cross-franchise ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' subline, "Origin Autobot Jazz" transforms from cartoon-accurate robot to <s>handheld vacuum cleaner</s> his Cybertronian vehicle mode seen in the opening scenes of "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" and back, similar to the earlier [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#BuzzworthyOrigin|Origin Bumblebee]] toy. He transforms in 20 steps and includes both his blaster and a two part grappling hook attachment for either arm, attaching to a 5 mm port revealed when his hands are tucked away. The grapple stores underneath the vehicle mode via a 5 mm port hidden under Jazz's chest while the blaster more conventionally plugs on top. The toy's "[[Evo-Fusion]]" gimmick involves combining the blaster and grapple by plugging either just the hook or the hook on its base onto the end of Jazz's gun via a 3 mm connection. His alt mode features two dedicated 5 mm [[Fire Blast effect]] compatible ports on the back which, while technically housed in his feet, are entirely separate from the 5 mm ports also in his feet.

:Like other ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' toys, Jazz is exclusive to Target stores in the United States. Due to the open-windowed packaging, it is not uncommon for the paint on his chest to be scratched or chipped while still unopened. Also, the hinge that connects Jazz's vehicle roof to the rest of the backpack may cause the translucent blue plastic to crack, especially on the knurled side of the pin.

:Origins Jazz was officially revealed during a ''Transformers'' team roundtable with fans on [[February 6]], 2023.

**''Accessories'': stand
:Released in the eighth "Act" of ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Super Collection Figure]]'', Meister is a PVC figurine based on the cartoon rendition of Jazz. He came in both full-color and pewter-painted versions, both packed one per case.

: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.

:The color versions of Jazz came packaged with the waist of the Act's "build-a-figure" [[Scorponok (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Scorponok]]. This part too could be in either full-color or pewter, packed at a ratio of six color parts to four pewters.

[[File:HOC Jazz.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (2003)
:Released in the fourth wave of ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' Jazz is a redeco of the ''SCF'' Meister figure. He is cast in blue plastic almost completely painted over, leaving the visor and the back of the head unpainted to take advantage of a [[light-piping]] gimmick. His backpack-windshield is also unpainted, which is a cute touch.

:He has a large number of other paint differences from Meister, including a more cartoon-accurate light blue waist deco, red stripes on his rear wheels rather than blue, a much darker gray face, a more complex stripe on his backpack... and for some reason, his boots are light gray all over, including the vehicle-mode wheel hubs, rather than white. Oops.

:Like all ''Heroes of Cybertron'' releases, he came on an individual cardback, with a character bio card. He also included the left leg to the wave's [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#Heroes of Cybertron|Fortress Maximus]] "build-a-figure".

===First 4 Figures===
*'''Soundwave vs Jazz''' (<s>2006</s> unreleased)
{{toydesigner|[[Little IroN]] (concept artist), [["Mad" Alterton]] (sculptor)}}

:Intended for release in the ''Transformers Battlefield'' line by model company [[First 4 Figures]], this was to be 13-inch-ish tall diorama depicting [[Soundwave (G1)/merchandise#First 4 Figures|Soundwave]] fighting against Jazz. According to a look at the digital sculpt afforded to the toy news press at New York [[Toy Fair]] in 2006, the set featured Soundwave holding Jazz above his head, about to throw him down onto the trashed form of [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] at his feet.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070806062058/http://toyfair06.asmzine.com/first4figures/report.html "First4Figures Limited Transformers Statues and Busts Info!"] at ASMzine.com (archived)</ref>

:As a ''Battlefield'' release, this model would have featured a detailed base designed to interlock with others in the same range to create a massive battle diorama. Unfortunately, a general discontinuation of First 4 Figures' ''Transformers''-related output meant only the first model, "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#First 4 Figures|Optimus Prime]] vs [[Megatron (G1)/merchandise#First 4 Figures|Megatron]]", was released.

:All models in the ''Battlefield'' line were advertised as being sculpted by [["Mad" Alterton]], with a corresponding set of art posters by [[Little IroN]], implying he had produced the concept art for each release. The set was likely intended to be limited to 1,850 pieces worldwide, given that the certificate of authenticity for the first set allowed buyers to reserve the same numbered release on their next purchase in the series.

==Notes==
[[File:G2JazzLegacyArt.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
[[File:PorscheMiniSubaru.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
*The [[#LaserCycle|Laser Cycle Jazz]] is not the only cancelled ''Generation 2'' Jazz toy! Revealed on the Graphic Design Portfolio section of [[Bill Forster]]'s website, is an almost all orange redeco of the G1 Jazz figure. This art would later be published in the 2014 ''[[Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging]]'' hardcover book alongside many other unrealized ''Generation 2'' concepts. Eventually, the deco would reach fruition as the 2023 [[#Legacy|''Legacy'' "Toxitron Collection" figure]] described above. Jazz, though, is out of luck compared to his presumed wavemates [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Notes|Mirage]] and [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Note|Sideswipe]], with no physical prototype ever having surfaced, only his packaging art.
*The first toy planned for the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line was Jazz as a Porsche 986. A prototype was made, but Porsche refused to grant Hasbro and Takara the license, stating that "Transformers are not worthy [of] carrying the Porsche trademark. They are war machines, and the toyline in no way represents the lifestyle and ideas which Porsche represents."<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/community/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24622 Former Porsche employee Addl recounting an informal inquiry with Porsche's licensing department at TF Archive]</ref> As a consequence, the toy ultimately never went into production. Photos of the prototype were depicted in the Japanese book ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'', and Hasbro later also displayed the prototype during the [[BotCon 2007]] Hasbro Tour.
*The ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Mazda RX-8 (which ultimately ended up as Meister) was originally intended to be named "[[Camshaft (G1)|Camshaft]]", according to various early store listings and a premature reply from Hasbro's customer service. This would also fit with the early idea of making the ''Alternators'' toys "direct updates" of their characters' G1 predecessors. A prototype was leaked to the public in early 2004 sporting the same basic colors as the later ''Alternators'' "Autobot Camshaft" toy (the Acura RSX), although it's uncertain whether the prototype colors for the RX-8 were supposed to be indicative of the proposed colors for Camshaft (since the Acura redeco was originally intended as a G1 Bluestreak [[homage]] before being renamed into "Autobot Camshaft"). The reason why the RX-8 Alternator was ultimately not named "Camshaft" was apparently because the real-life Mazda RX-8 car doesn't ''have'' a camshaft. The irony is staggering, as Camshaft's original toy was an RX-7, which ALSO lacks a camshaft.
*There have been at least two different reasons stated why the Hasbro toy was named "Meister" rather than "Autobot Jazz": For one, Hasbro was still hoping that Porsche would have a change of mind and grant them the license after all, as Chevrolet had done; also, Aaron Archer has been quoted stating that he thought a third toy named "Autobot someone" following "[[Hound (G1)/toys|Autobot Hound]]" and "[[Tracks (G1)/toys|Autobot Tracks]]" would have been somewhat "redundant".
*By coincidence or by design, the 2006 ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Transformers: Cybertron]]'' [[Ransack (Cybertron)#GTS|Ransack GTS]] toy, with a Velocitronian motorcycle alt-mode, employs a deco loosely similar to that of the canceled 1995 [[#LaserCycle|Laser Cycle incarnation of Jazz]].

: The very first true transforming Arcee toy is a [[redeco]] and minor [[retool]]ing of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Transmetal 2]] [[Blackarachnia (BW)/toys#TM2|Blackarachnia]], transforming into a malformed mish-mash of machine and organic parts in the form of a large spider. The spider mode fangs become a grappling weapon for her [[robot mode]] which extend on a [[Retractable string gimmick|retractable string]]. She has a special [[spark crystal]] that changes her [[insignia]] from [[Autobot]] to [[Maximal]] when rotated. The [[robot mode]] also features a spring-powered waist-swivel for "power kick" action. Arcee lacks the Blackarachnia toy's additional chest armor, and thus has oddly-placed holes in her... well, chest, that keep the armor in place.

: Arcee was available only as an [[exclusive]] to [[BotCon 2001]], and along with [[Tigatron#BotCon2001|Tigatron]] was the first time since the inception of [[3H Productions|3H]] that they were allowed to use existing characters for convention exclusives. Arcee is also the first convention toy to feature retooling. Preorders received their Arcees with a bonus; the box contained a light-sensitive sound chip featuring voice actress [[Susan Blu]]'s voice saying "Don't underestimate me, I'm more than just a pretty face. Arcee, MAXIMIZE!". These chips were VERY light-sensitive, with many fans finding that the box would chatter at little provocation for years afterwards.

:Both Arcee and Tigatron were limited to 1200 pieces.

:Arcee is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Decepticharge]] (himself a [[retool]] of [[Windcharger (G1)#Alternators|Windcharger]]/[[Overdrive]]), using Honda's "Pearl White" for the car bodywork. The figure transforms into a "street performance" Honda S2000. Her hardtop roof can be removed for an open-top [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] and used as a shield in [[robot mode]]. The engine and driveshaft may be removed and used as a long-barreled rifle (as the toy is Japanese issue and not subject to the same issues that removed the long barrel from the [[Hasbro]] versions of the mold).

: A redeco of this toy as [[Paradron Medic#Binaltech|Paradron Medic]] was originally planned to be released simultaneously, but was canceled. This fate also befell a redeco meant to be Arcee's occasional mold-mate [[Blackarachnia (BW)/toys#Binaltech|Blackarachnia]]. The [[robot mode]] was used as the base model for the non-toy car-form [[Legion (KP)|Legion]].

: As part of the second wave of ''[[Kre-O]]'' [[Micro-Changer]]s, [[Kreon]] Arcee can be rebuilt into a sports car. She uses the [[Ironhide (Kre-O)|Ironhide]] style helmet.

: This Collection was still in circulation at "dollar" stores and drug stores up through 2015. They eventually lost the individual-identifying bag codes, but other changes were hidden inside the bag. The 2015 releases replaced the 2x4 logo stand-brick with a new 3x4 logo plate. The Kreon was also given the slight [[retool]]ing to the arm seen in the 2014 Kreons, making the "cuff" parts more sharp-cornered and better adapted to being used as studs. Some of the add-on pieces may also be slightly off-color, possibly due to a change in factories in mid-production.

:In 2016, the Collection 2 Micro-Changers were re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released ''Kre-O'' sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Arcee's [[paint operation]]s have also been slightly altered (much less so than most others in the collection), mostly just replacing her white paint with a very light pink.

:Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.

*'''Arcee''' (Deluxe Class, 2014)
**''Series / Number'': '''02 / #021'''
**''Accessories:'' Large gun, small gun, two swords
{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist)}}

: ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Arcee is the holy grail that, after 28 years, many thought would never happen. Unlike most ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toys at the time, Arcee does not have an updated design or one based on the IDW comics, but instead hews to her original animated character model, transforming into a made-up "futuristic" pink and white sports car—this was done at the behest of designer [[Hironori Kobayashi]], who based the toy on [https://www.camphortree.net/tf/kitbashes/botcon_arcee.html an older custom of his] which won first price at [[BotCon Japan 1998]] and which later helped land him a job at Takara. The final design was sketched out by ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (manga)|Kiss Players]]'' artist [[Yuki Ohshima]], who added the unsettlingly human-like hips and navel.

: Arcee is armed with a pistol based on the one she wielded in the movie, a larger gun, and a pair of translucent blue swords that pay homage to her ''[[Arcee (Animated)|Animated]]'' and IDW incarnations; all four weapons each feature several universally-sized rectangular pegs that allows them to be tabbed into multiple matching ports in her fists, forearms, hips, shoulders, and the sides and rear of her car mode. Additionally, her two guns can store beneath her car mode, though this is not mentioned in her instructions. A mixup on the part of the photographer meant the smaller pistol does not appear in Arcee's [[stock photography]], but rather that of her [[wave]]-mate Chromia. Thanks to an extra transformation joint in her upper thighs, Arcee's legs are very posable, and can even be crossed. Arcee's paint, in particular the pink paint on her thighs and the white paint on the car's grille, is susceptible to chipping and flaking off if care is not taken.

: The initial release of Arcee had closed fists that proved a very tight fit for her weapons' unique pegs. A [[variant#Running changes|running change]] to the sculpt altered her forearm pieces to feature her hands in an open position, and with shorter thumbs, to allow more clearance. Unfortunately, a protrusion added to the lower end of the later version's hands to reduce fragility prevents the handles of her weapons from being fully inserted.<ref name="genvariant">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wW-3CB5EbQY Comparison of both variants of ''Generations'' Deluxe Class Arcee] at YouTube.</ref> This second variant of the toy was the basis of most (but not all) future uses of this mold, including additional Arcees below, ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' [[Nightbird (G1)#Legends|Nightbird Shadow]], [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service|Figure Subscription Service 5.0]] [[Lifeline (G1)#Combiner Wars|Lifeline]] and ''[[Street Fighter II × Transformers]]'' [[Chun-Li#Toys|Chun-Li]]. Her weapons were also used for [[Impactor (G1)#TFSS|Figure Subscription Service 4.0 Impactor]].

**''Accessories:'' 2 swords, [[Combiner Slayer]] sword

:''Combiner Hunters'' Arcee is a [[black repaint|mostly-black]] [[redeco]] of ''Thrilling 30'' Arcee, notable for its new accessory: a gigantic "Combiner Slayer" sword redecoed from the larger ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#BH|Beast Hunters]]'' Ultimate Class [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Ultimate|Optimus Prime]] figure. Said Optimus is ''much'' bigger than Arcee, meaning that the sword is both taller and wider than she is, neccessitating a [[retool]] to Arcee's forearms to allow her hands to hold [[5 mm post|5 mm compatible weaponry]]. Unfortunately, her grip is on the looser side, especially with this mold's original weapon set, of which only the two swords are provided with this release.

:Arcee's stock photos show a slightly different deco to the final toy, lacking the pink and blue stripes on her vehicle mode, featuring a white crotch and biceps, and having the Autobot insignia on her cheek in red rather than the final toy's pink.

:This version of Arcee was only available in a [[giftset|gift set]] together with ''Combiner Hunters'' redecos of ''Generations'' [[Windblade (G1)#Combiner Wars|Windblade]] and [[Chromia (G1)#Combiner Wars|Chromia]], each with their own giant new melee weapons.

Like her ''Legends'' release, Arcee replaces all her black plastic parts and paint operations with either white, grey or pink, though her animation-accuracy is hindered by her paintjob's metallic finish.

**''Accessories'': 2 laser pistols, Autobot Sky Spy unit, display base
:This figure represents Arcee's [[synthoid]] human body seen in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original cartoon]] season 3 episode "[[Only Human]]". It consists mostly of a combination of redecoed parts from existing ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' figures; namely, the torso, waist, and upper legs of the 2011 ''Renegades'' version of [[Scarlett]], the arms and hands of the 2009 ''G.I. Joe Set'' version of [[Lady Jaye]], and the lower legs and feet of [[Agent Helix]] from the 2009 ''Rise of Cobra'' line. The only new part is the head sculpt, which faithfully recreates the look of the Arcee synthoid from "Only Human", down to the animators' misinterpretation of the "buns" on the sides of robot Arcee's head (which were inspired by Princess Leia's iconic hair buns in the original 1977 ''Star Wars'' film) as one single piece of woven hair that wraps around the back of her head.

:Her accessories are redecos of the UAV drone that originally came with the 2013 ''Retaliation'' [https://www.yojoe.com/action/13/dataviper.shtml Data-Viper] figure, reinterpreted as a [[Sky Spy]] unit, and the guns from the same Agent Helix figure that also donated her lower legs and feet for this figure. The included display base/stand is the generic 2013 ''Retaliation'' version, with a tampographed Autobot insignia.

{{toydesigner|[[Ken Christiansen]] (concept artist)}}

:Part of a second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Deluxe Class toys, this mold of Arcee transforms into her classic futuristic car mode and is armed with a clear blue blaster. In contrast to the 2014 ''Thrilling 30'' [[#Generations|Arcee mold]] which incorporated the chest and legs into the vehicle mode, this ''Earthrise'' toy is a true [[shellformer]], the entire humanoid body folding up underneath a vehicle mode shell, which becomes a sizeable backpack for her robot mode. She utilizes a faux vehicle center-front for the chest, with the real part folding down behind her head. Part of the backpack (the rear half of her car shell) is designed to detach to act like a hoverboard that robot-mode Arcee can ride, by pegging her feet onto the 3 mm posts on the board designed to accommodate the ''War for Cybertron'' Fire Blast effect parts. Arcee has notably few such posts for her size, and has a similarly small number of [[5 mm post|5 mm]] [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] ports. The lack of a 5 mm port on her back in both backpack configurations means she cannot on her own recreate [[Cog (G1)|Cog]] weaponizing her as seen in the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' cartoon. A new accessory packed with [[Security Officer|Red Cog]] would later allow this combination.

:In vehicle mode, Arcee's blaster can be attached to either of her front fenders or stored out of sight beneath her hood. In robot mode, it can be stored on a port on her butt, or plug into the fender ports on her back once the hoverboard is removed. Though the figure has standard 5 mm fist holes, the blaster's handle is molded in the unusual flattened shape used by ''Thrilling 30'' and ''Titans Return'' [[#Titans Return|Arcee]].

:Many fans have taken it upon themselves to knock out the pin holding the backpack joint together in order to have a complete vehicle mode separate from the robot mode.

:The original stock renders have a few different paint applications compared to the final toy, depicting the car mode with grey coloring on the side panels, and the back half of the waist being painted pink and grey to match the front. Additionally, the connector that links the hoverboard to the rest of her backpack is colored pink instead of white and is attached to the backpack instead of the board.

:Like all ''Earthrise'' toys, the inside of the back of Arcee's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger space map, along with a translucent red "decoder". Arcee's piece contains the labeled location of [[Master (planet)|DOMINUS]]. Like most ''Earthrise'' figures from wave 2, it is misprinted and overlays the "decodable" red graphics from the map piece included with ''Earthrise'' [[Hoist (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Hoist]] on top of the details unique to Arcee's piece.

:Arcee was redecoed into [[Lifeline (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Lifeline]] and retooled into ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Elita One (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Elita-1]].

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Arcee is an all-new mold that transforms from a robot into a Cybertronian car, though the robot mode favors a leaner and slender design as opposed to directly replicating the original animation model, a rare move in modern ''Masterpiece'' figures. Aside from her blaster, Arcee also comes with a rifle, an assortment of alternate faces, a holster for the smaller blaster, a pistol, effect parts for her blasters, and a drill arm based on the one she used to stop a Junkion during the chase in the movie. In addition, the figure's head has a foldout visor from the movie. Much like MP-46 [[Blackarachnia (BW)/toys#Masterpiece|Blackwidow]], Arcee's design hyper-emphasizes feminine stylings and enhanced poseability, also extending to her hands. ''Unlike'' MP-46, however, Arcee's stylization goes to the point of neglecting screen accuracy, having a sculpt which forgoes the animation model's wider, slightly boxy stomach and waist while also giving her a much wider (and lower) bust. Not to mention the extremely arched back.

:Released as the sole figure in the fifth wave of ''Authentics'' "Bravo Class" figures, ''[[Transformers Authentics|Authentics]]'' Arcee is a roughly-Scout-sized mold that is developed for the discount market. She changes from robot to a Cybertronian car that borrows design cues from her ''Earthrise'' and ''Cyberverse'' Deluxe toys. Her blaster can be stored on top of her vehicle mode where it cleverly doubles as the antennae-like device that usually adorns the top of G1 Arcee's vehicle mode.

:Unlike many of her Deluxe iterations, this version of Arcee does not utilize [[shellformer|shellforming]] in order to change forms, however she lacks feet and is a little back heavy for her size, so her stability is questionable. Her legs can be locked into a more stable position if her knees are hyperextended. She features a decent range of articulation on her upper body, though her knees can only move sideways due to her transformation scheme.

:Part of the seventeenth wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Arcee is, surprisingly enough, ''not'' a redeco of the [[#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' toy]], but rather an extensive retool of the eight-year-old [[#Generations|''Thrilling 30'' toy]]. She features an entirely new lower body and back half of the car, in service of adding the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' standard of articulation to robot mode and a more accurate vehicle mode. Her new forearms are directly based on those of her [[#Combiner Wars|''Combiner Hunters'' toy]], now altered to remove the weapon mounts on the sides and increasing the gripping surface of her [[5 mm post]]-compatible hands. She retains the ''Thrilling 30'' toy's smaller blaster accessory, which can holster on her thighs or mount over her shoulders as on the original toy. The blaster stores under the rear of the car mode in a manner similar to ''Thrilling 30'''s.

:Arcee's waist hinges, while giving her rare ab crunch articulation, do not lock in securely and can come apart when handling. Like her ''Earthrise'' predecessor, the rear of the car/backpack on this toy can also be detached as it is on a simple friction hinge. However, it does not seem to be an intentional feature and repeated removal may wear down the connection.

:Like the other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a display backdrop, with it depicting the Battle of Autobot City.

While Galvatron was eventually released as an exclusive at [[BotCon Japan 1997]], Arcee and Rodimus have never been officially released, though they do occasionally pop up on the secondary market, commanding prices in excess of $600.

*'''Arcee''' (1996)

:This Japanese "garage kit", an unpainted resin model, was made by [[MC Axis]] and was also the first official product of Arcee that got a retail release. Included among its paperwork is a [[The Transformers (MC Axis manga)|comic strip]] starring Arcee. It is not known for its exceptional quality control—numerous unsightly air bubbles in the plastic are not an uncommon thing to encounter.

:The resin parts need to be washed '''first''' to prevent the paint from smearing off.

*'''Arcee''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Arcee was available in the first wave of Takara's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. She is armed with her pistol from the scene in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' where she shoots at [[Unicron]]'s internal defenses. Like all the figures in the "Act", she was available as both a standard full color figure and a colorless translucent version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

:Arcee was [[redeco]]ed to create the chase figure for the eighth wave of the series, the [[Paradron Medic#Super Collection Figure|Paradron Medic]].

**''Act'': '''4'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:The Arcee figurine was re-released, with no notable changes, as part of the fourth wave of the ''Super Collection Figure'' series, now packaged with a figure of [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Daniel Witwicky]] in his [[exosuit]]. Amusingly, this box comes with ''two'' stands, one for each figure.

: The pair were available in both full color and metallic "pewter" versions, with one of each in every case. In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of the set came with the body of the line's collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Metroplex]] "build-a-figure", with that assembly coming in either full-color or clear-plastic at an equal 4-to-4 ratio.

: 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.

*'''Arcee''' (2002)

: When Hasbro released the ''Super Collection Figure'' line as ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'', the Arcee figure was released as part of the first wave, now featuring a [[light-piping]] gimmick in the character's eyes, accomplished by casting the figure in translucent blue plastic and then painting over it. There are other small but significant changes to her deco; most notably her midriff detailing is now painted red (a detail the SCF oddly misses), her blaster now has a black barrel rather than dark gray, her pinks and grays are darker, and her whites are considerably brighter.

: Rather than come blindpacked like the ''SCF'' figure, Arcee came on a blister card with a profile card included.

: This mold was later [[redeco]]ed to make the ''Heroes of Cybertron'' [[Paradron Medic#Heroes of Cybertron|Paradron Medic]].

:''Arcee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie continuity family]].''

[[File:Arceemovie.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|She's got legs, she knows how to use them. Temporarily, anyway.]]
Originally a member of the Autobots' science team, '''Arcee''' never stood out as being the "soldier" type until the war broke out. Though small compared to many of her peers and adversaries, she compensates with speed and aggressive maneuvers. Quickly developing hunter skills to be reckoned with, Arcee became one of the most dangerous Autobots around.<ref>''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'' trade paperback bonus material</ref> She is a crack shot with her crossbow weapon, and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] has trained her to use her speed to her advantage in battle, striking suddenly and swiftly and then vanishing away again as fast as she appeared.

The events at [[Tyger Pax]] created a nagging doubt in Arcee about her abilities. She carries some guilt about [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s injuries, and part of what drives her is the desire to prove herself, not only in the optics of her friends, comrades, and even her sisters [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]], but most importantly in her own.

For a time, Arcee used experimental technology that allowed her mind to control ''three'' bodies at once! When two of these bodies were destroyed, she stayed out of sight to adjust to the return to single-body status.<ref>Hasbro's [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/characters/arcee Vector Sigma: Arcee profile]</ref>

Arcee was held in reserve as NEST entered Shanghai to deal with Demolishor, only being called into action when the presence of a second Decepticon, [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], was detected. Together with the twins, Arcee pursued the sneaky speedster through the streets of Shanghai, smashing through buildings and everything else in her way, but ultimately, none of her three components were able to do much damage, so Sideswipe was brought up to bat, and he quickly put the Decepticon down.

While not on missions, Arcee was parked with the other Autobots in their hangar at [[Diego Garcia]]. It was here that the Autobots received word from the [[President of the United States]], via [[Theodore Galloway|Director Galloway]], that the White House was concerned that the Autobots' living on Earth was the reason for the Decepticon activity, and that if need be, they would ask the Autobots to leave. Later, after Optimus Prime died in battle and [[The Fallen]] issued an ultimatum to Earth, the US government decided that the Autobots would be shipped back to Diego Garcia.
[[File:ROTF Arcee shot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Michael Bay displays his usual attitude towards women.]]
NEST had a different idea, and instead shipped Arcee and the other Autobots to [[Egypt]] on the advice of [[Sam Witwicky]], who had the means to resurrect Optimus Prime. During the climactic battle between NEST and The Fallen's Decepticons, Sam and Mikaela attempted to make their way through the bombed-out Egyptian town that had become the battlefield. Arcee arrived with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to escort them through the warzone, but unfortunately, two of her bodies were shot down by enemy forces, with only the blue component remaining operational when last seen. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

Arcee was among the Autobots fending off a wave of Decepticon forces led by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], where Arcee tried to contact the capital of the last remaining Autobot city for reinforcements only to fail in establishing a connection. She was eventually ordered to retreat by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].

{{Spoiler|Rise of the Beasts|July 9}}

Arcee was among the crew of Autobots that had become stranded on Earth after arriving in 1987. Seven years later in 1994, she and the others were in [[New York City]] when Optimus witnessed the activation of the transwarp key. The Autobots regrouped in a warehouse to find [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]] had taken in a stowaway, [[Noah Diaz]], who Arcee researched and discovered his past as a soldier. Arcee confirmed the existence of the transwarp key in the museum on Ellis Island, and the group realized they could use it to return to Cybertron. Arcee pointed out they couldn't take the key themselves without evading detection, but Mirage convinced Noah to steal the key for them, despite the group's misgivings. Arcee helped stakeout the museum during Noah's infiltration, only for the Terrorcons to arrive in force. Arcee was knocked out of the fight by the burly [[Battletrap (ROTB)|Battletrap]], and the group lost Bumblebee to [[Scourge (ROTB)|Scourge's]] blade. The group was saved by the timely arrival of Airazor, who explained Scourge had only taken half of the key, and Arcee convinced [[Elena Wallace]] to help lead them to the remaining half in Peru after encouraging her with the knowledge she'd be saving two worlds in the process.

On the flight to Peru aboard [[Stratosphere]], Arcee wondered if the slain Bumblebee could be revived with an Energon treatment, but Optimus lamented that they likely couldn't without returning to Cybertron. The group linked up with Wheeljack and Arcee rode inside his vehicle mode as they took positions keeping watch while Noah and Elena hunted for the key. The Terrorcons arrived and engaged the Autobots in battle. While Wheeljack drove, Arcee provided some firepower in her robot mode, but once again Battletrap took her and Wheeljack out of the fight by making them tumble down a mountainside in the ensuing car chase. Arcee regrouped with the others when they confronted the Maximals, aiming at [[Cheetor (ROTB)|Cheetor]] until Airazor defused the stand-off. When Scourge obtained the complete key and began to bring [[Unicron]] to Earth, Arcee took part in the battle against the Terrorcons and their Predacon reinforcements. Though Arcee's speed and blasters served her well, things looked grim when Unicron appeared in the sky and the Autobot-Maximal alliance began to be submerged by the sheer numbers of their enemy. Arcee was aghast when Optimus declared his intention to sacrifice himself to destroy the portal bringing forth Unicron, but luckily, Noah and [[Optimus Primal (ROTB)|Optimus Primal]] saved Optimus and the day from the Chaos Bringer.

===IDW movie comics===
[[File:Foudnation2 ArceeChromiaElita.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Thousands of years ago on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Arcee lived in [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]] with her sister Chromia, while their eldest sibling, Elita-One, became a follower of [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Following Sentinel's successful unification of the warring tribes of Cybertron, Arcee and Chromia came to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] to hear his speech for the future. It was announced that the planet would be governed by a [[Science Division]] headed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], and a [[Defense Force]] led by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]; while Chromia elected to join the latter, Arcee, intrigued at the prospect of investigating the legacy of the [[Dynasty of Primes]], signed up with Optimus's team. The Science Division began an archaeological excavation of the area around [[Simfur]], uncovering a strange object that they believed to be connected to the Dynasty. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

[[File:Defiance1 Arcee vehicle.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|"I transform into a vacuum cleaner!"]]

Some time later, while Optimus was showing Megatron around their work, Arcee's team discovered a mysterious relic with a [[Decepticon|strange symbol]] etched into it. She led her superiors to the ancient relic and watched as Megatron and Optimus began to argue when the former demanded the relic be relocated to his private quarters, with Optimus relenting due to a sudden alien attack. Arcee assisted with its evacuation from the dig site. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}}

After the attack, Arcee tried to save the life of one of the aliens, but was unsuccessful. She and [[Clocker (Movie)|Clocker]] moved the bodies to [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s lab, where they discovered that the beings were similar in structure to the Cybertronians, only lacking the ability to [[transformation|transform]]. Before they could speculate further about the common ancestry of the two races, [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]] arrived with orders from Optimus to assemble at the Simfur excavation site for a meeting. There, Arcee and the other scientists learned of Protector Megatron's demand for war and Optimus's thoughts on the issue. After most of the scientists agreed to follow Optimus, they travelled to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] to watch Megatron deliver his saber-rattling war rally. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

[[File:Foundation4Arceechromiaknockeoutbymegatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|That's not how you treat 2 ladies, Megatron.]]

Ratchet, Arcee and Elita-One returned to the lab to analyze the other relic fragments recovered from the Simfur excavation, while Optimus, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] broke into Megatron's quarters to examine the intact relic. Before Optimus could explain to Ratchet the strange condition of the artifact, Arcee reported finding a symbol that appeared in the same place on all the different fragments: the same symbol that was on Optimus's head. Ratchet theorised that the legend of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] was true, and that Optimus was somehow connected to all of this. Later, at the dig site near [[Burthov]], Arcee, Ratchet and Optimus were arrested by Prowl's security forces on orders from Megatron for treason. What they didn't know was they were all being led into a trap, and the assassins Megatron sent would only take Optimus alive. After [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]'s initial attack, Optimus ordered the group to escape to Burthov while he took care of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and his soldiers. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}{{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

Arcee was part of the team who captured the disenchanted soldier [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and brought him before Optimus Prime. Ironhide pledged allegiance to Prime and brought news of the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', a massive starship that Megatron was building. While observing its construction and taking images of the ship, Arcee remarked that she had never seen its like before. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} From [[Tyger Pax]], she witnessed the departure of the ''Nemesis'' with the rest of the Autobots. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

[[File:MoviePrequel1 Arcee Bumblebee.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|"Can I say something?" "Whatever it is, now is not the right time!"]]

During the subsequent civil war, Arcee defended civilians who were being targeted by Megatron's Decepticons for refusing to join in the war against Optimus Prime's Autobots. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} As the war raged on, Sentinel invented a "[[pillar|torch]]" that he promised would end the war, which required the [[AllSpark]] to be activated. Arcee and Chromia flanked Ironhide at the lead of the assault on Simfur Temple. As the battle raged, Arcee and Chromia were swatted aside by Megatron, but Optimus attacked, allowing Elita to activate the torch and deliver it to Sentinel. Sentinel arrived in the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]], but Starscream blew up the ship. Ironhide picked up Arcee and Chromia as the Autobots retreated. However, the assault had weakened Decepticon morale and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] commanded another [[Ark (Movie)|Ark]] for Arcee and Chromia to steal the AllSpark itself! {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Later, Arcee fought the Decepticons during an attempt to reclaim the Cube at Tyger Pax. However, Arcee and the rest of those under Bumblebee's command didn't know the true purpose of their battle: they were a diversion to keep Megatron busy while other Autobots readied the AllSpark for launch from Cybertron. She was captured and interrogated by the Decepticons but survived the ordeal. She recounted to their Autobot rescuers Bumblebee's heroics in delaying Megatron, which prevented the Decepticon from intercepting the wormhole-bound AllSpark. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}}

[[File:ReignofStarscream4 Arcee.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb]]

Following the Autobots' victory in Mission City, which culminated in the death of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and the destruction of the AllSpark on [[Earth]], Arcee was in command of an Autobot assault team on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] and led [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] and others in an attack on [[Nemesis (Movie)|Starscream's ship]]. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}} While her team made short work of the [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drones the Decepticons sent against them, Arcee killed the Decepticon sniper [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]] before he could take out [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]]. Her teammates were unprepared for the arrival of [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]], however, and he quickly slew [[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]] and wounded [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]]. Remembering her failure at Tyger Pax, Arcee leapt into action, and soon she and Cliffjumper had Thundercracker at their mercy. The arrival of Starscream changed that, as he killed Smokescreen and Air Raid and badly damaged Cliffjumper. As she attempted to pull the last surviving member of her team to safety, Arcee was kicked aside by Starscream. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}}

However, Arcee recovered an instant later. The Decepticon starship was already taking off, but she jumped and grabbed onto a piece of landing gear, holding on tight... through the [[space bridge]]. Wow. Later, she made her way back to an Autobot facility, where she unexpectedly met Clocker and [[Crosshairs (Movie)|Crosshairs]]. Along with a large force of Autobots, the three moved in on the Simfur temple, where Starscream was using captured Autobots for a strange project of his. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}}

She split her troops into two forces: One would attack the city of Trypticon as a diversion, while the other moved in on Simfur. Arcee and her team could only watch helplessly as Starscream drained the life out of the Autobot prisoners strapped onto the [[replica AllSpark]], despite her sister Elita-One's pleas for mercy. An opportunity to cause havoc presented itself when [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]]'s forces attempted a coup. Arcee lined up her sights on the generator holding the life energy of the deceased prisoners, dedicated the shot to Elita, and destroyed it, annihilating the Cube and sending the Decepticons into disarray. Arcee's team fought their way through the disorganised Decepticons, linked up with [[Wingblade]]'s team, and rolled out just as the crippled starship came crashing down on the city. With the destruction of the capitol and the defeat of a significant portion of the Decepticon drone army, Arcee considered this to be the turning point of the war, but as long as Starscream was alive, he was a threat that she had to track down. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

[[File:TalesoftheFallen6-Arceeprotoforms.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|The best part of waking up is ... still being in your own body.]]

Some time later, a ship carrying Arcee and her crew was shot down over an unidentified planet, and when Arcee managed to escape the wreckage, she saw that the culprit was her old nemesis, Thundercracker. She blacked out, and an indeterminate amount of time later, she awoke on an operating table—or rather, next to her old body on an operating table. Her [[spark]] had been transplanted into a new body by the Decepticon mad scientist [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]], as part of a twisted plan to create a new breed of tripartate soldier by using her spark to reignite those of her deceased sisters, Elita-One and Chromia. Flatline had not considered Arcee's strong will, however, and her original programming persisted. She broke free and escaped with two of Flatline's other experiment victims, the twins [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], but was surprised to learn that Flatline's experiment had worked: her sisters lived again in two bodies similar to her own new form, but now, they were connected at the spark, sharing the thoughts, feelings and memories of one another, thinking with one mind yet still retaining a degree of autonomy and recollection of their previous selves. [[File:TalesoftheFallen6-whereishe.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|WASSSS A MAAANNN (now three man)]] The united sisters defeated Flatline, and with the Twins, headed for the exit, but Thundercracker and some Decepticon drones blocked them. Thundercracker laughed, since Arcee hadn't fared too well the last time they tangled, but... that was then. Thundercracker was easily bested by the new and improved Arcee, and escaped while Flatline's headquarters detonated by remote. Arcee wondered whether her weird new existence was a mistake, or if she was merely destined for greater things. Regardless, she refused to become bent on revenge against Thundercracker for the deaths of her crew, so she and the Twins made plans to join the rest of the Autobots. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}} {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

A short time later, Arcee and her sisters, along with [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]], [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]] and [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]] arrived on Earth on the [[Wreckers]] ship [[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]. (While the ship and the Wreckers stayed behind in [[NASA]]) {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}{{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 3}} in response to a summons beamed into space by Optimus Prime Joining the allied Autobot-human strikeforce [[NEST]], the new recruits received some training, and were soon called upon to put it into use: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

[[File:ArceeROTFIDWCombo.jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.85|Remember what [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] did with [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] and the [[Duocon]]s?]]
Arcee participated in the [[Shanghai]] battle. When [[Twins (ROTF)|the Twins]] botched their chase of [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], the Arcee motorcycles gave chase before [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] finished the job. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 1|Revenge of the Fallen #1}} When the Autobots were on the move to the US East Coast investigating on multiple detected Decepticon contacts, at least one of the Arcee bikes was seen alongside [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. Later, while Optimus was fighting [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] in the forest, at least two Arcee bikes were approaching the battle site alongside [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. An Arcee robot was also seen with [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and Ironhide when the latter was firing at Starscream and Megatron who were fleeing from the site. The Arcee robot was the first one to notice Optimus Prime's severe damage before Ratchet pronounced him "nearly gone". {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 2|Revenge of the Fallen #2}} All three Arcee robots were with the other Autobots when they were facing the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] in the desert of Egypt. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 3|Revenge of the Fallen #3}}

[[File:TFSpaceCase-SpaceCasehitsArcee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right]]
Sometime later after [[Operation: Firestorm]], Arcee joined Bumblebee and Sam for a picnic, which was cut short when they went to investigate an energy signal that had appeared after an earthquake. The trio proceeded deep underground and, just as Arcee was admonishing Sam to be careful, Space Case ambushed them. Despite their numeric superiority, the Autobots had trouble with their enemy because they were afraid firing weapons might cause their unstable surroundings to collapse. Space Case, angry at what he perceived as persecution from the Autobots, activated his plasma afterburners and rocketed out of the cave, triggering the feared cave-in and burying Sam and the Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers: Space Case}} Arcee managed to send out a distress signal, to which Ratchet responded. The medic fended off Space Case and managed to free Arcee from a pile of rubble, allowing her to go after Space Case a fleeing Space Case. {{storylink|Transformers: Ratchet}} The chase took them towards a densely populated city. Despite Space Case's engine damage, he still had a significant speed advantage over Arcee. As she paused to consider her options, she received a holographic communication from Ratchet. The Autobot medic reported that Sam Witwicky and Bumblebee had survived their encounter with Space Case with no serious injuries, and suggested that Arcee meet back up with them. Arcee cut him off abruptly, inwardly observing that while Ratchet thought she continued to chase Space Case out of a misplaced sense of pride, that's not really what she was doing at all. Arcee then caught up with Space Case. Panicking, Space Case threw Arcee through a storefront and took to the air in another attempt to escape. Arcee, determined not to let anything keep her down, sped after Space Case, used a building to ramp up to his altitude, and destroyed his other engine. Space Case went plummeting into the distance, headed for the waterfront. As he vanished from sight, he promised to be back. Arcee knew she'd be ready for his eventual return. {{storylink|Transformers: Arcee}}

[[File:RisingStorm1 ArceeInjured.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
When NEST discovered that Starscream was selling Transformer weaponry to humans, a sting operation was staged in which [[Theodore Galloway]] would pose as a buyer to lure the Decepticons in. When [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]], [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] took the bait, Arcee and her sisters joined the twins and the human forces of NEST in tackling them. The sisters did not take kindly to Skystalker's incredulity about the Autobots "sending their women" to do their fighting for them, and killed him with practised ease. The battle aggravated the wounds Arcee had taken in Egypt the previous year, however, and she was brought back to Diego Garcia for medical attention courtesy of Ratchet. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

After Sam Witwicky contacted Optimus Prime as Philadelphia was being attacked by Decepticons, Optimus decided that the sisters should be left out of the fight due to Arcee's wounds. Arcee wanted to go despite Chromia's attempt to let her stay behind while her two sisters went. In the end, Optimus decided to allow her to go with Chromia and Elita-1. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

[[File:RisingStorm 3 Arcee, Ravage and Ratbat.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Ravage and Ratbat teach you how to get dates]]

She and her sisters went to New York thinking they would get information on Starscream selling his weapons to humans, but instead they found Astrotrain and a monster. And they also found out that Shockwave was on earth, so they tried to inform Optimus, but [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] jammed their communication and sent his minions after the girls. Arcee and Chromia told Elita-1 to find Optimus. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

As Ravage was attacking her. Arcee began to feel the pain of her wounds (and Chromia began to feel them too), later Elita-1 died and Arcee and Chromia felt her death. Despite Arcee's attempts to stop her, Chromia activated some bombs they brought with them (which possibly killed Soundwave's minions). Arcee and Chromia survived the explosion. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

===Titan movie comics===
Originally, Arcee didn't serve either faction, working alone to solve injustices in her own way. [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] personally decided to make an example of her, and only an Autobot extraction team led by [[Kup (Movie)|Kup]] saved her life. This debt saw her join the Autobots. She's chimerical in nature and is constantly changing her [[Alternate mode|altmode]] in an effort to go as fast as possible (maybe that's why her [[robot mode]] always looks different!). She [[Arcee (G1)|previously had a hover-car form]], but on Earth takes a modified bike mode. Once you earn her trust, she's [[Rick Astley|never going to let you down]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Arcee bio}}

During the AllSpark launch, she led the six-bot team that drew Megatron's attention to Tyger Pax. And Optimus only told ''Bumblebee'' that's what their mission was! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|#2's reprint of Movie Prelude}}

[[File:Titan5 Sidewayssideswipes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|I'm such good friends that I all dress alike!]]

Arcee had been on Earth for some time before [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] arrived. When using all three of her bodies, she refers to her collective self as "we". Back then, she was keeping her pink paint job!

She went on to assist Optimus Prime in a [[NEST]] mission in [[Australia]], and so was in a perfect position to capture the Decepticon [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. Pursuing him in bike(s) mode, she found it near impossible to blow out his tyres and kept getting sideswiped by him during the pursuit. When a stunned Optimus ordered her to stay on the Decepticon's tail, she responded that the Decepticon's alt mode was far better suited for the terrain... inspiring Optimus to ''blow up'' that terrain.
[[File:Titan2-8 dronesurrender.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Geez, this just getting ''confusing''.]]
With Sideways stunned and taking robot form, Arcee sent one bike in to take him down but almost got hit before human military helicopters arrived to back her up. The mission over, she and Optimus took their prisoner back to [[Diego Garcia]], with Arcee escorting him to a cell. But surprise, [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] was waiting to free him! She was quickly stunned and unable to stop the Decepticons escaping. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

She later decided it'd be fun to switch back to her older, single-form body! Her old body got a good workout when she was part of the strike team on the Decepticon's [[Mars (planet)|Phobos]] base. After a brief but violent battle, the [[Purple generic drone|drone hordes]] surrendered to her and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

====Alternate timeline====
[[File:Titan13 Arcee.jpg|thumb|"I don't ''want'' to look retro!!"]]
In an [[Tyran 208.28 Gamma|alternate timeline]] where the Decepticons won the battle of [[Mission City]], Arcee was a member of a small group of reinforcements summoned to Earth by the remaining Autobots on the planet. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} Touching down on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to await contact from Earth, they were attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], but the quick-thinking Arcee took command and rallied the troops. When this still failed to work, she ordered them to Earth (following [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm]]'s initiative) and their prearranged targets. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} Joining up with the Earth-bound Autobots, Arcee refused to accept defeat, and helped [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]] defend [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] while he destroyed the AllSpark, foiling the Decepticons' plan to cyberform Earth using its power. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

Arcee was left bewildered by the idea that Humanity would not trust and love the Autobots, and Optimus explained to her that, from a human point of view, all the Transformers are alien horrors fighting on their planet. Following this, she guarded the [[Savannah]], [[Georgia]] shelter and was caught in an ambush staged by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}

[[File:Titan22 Arcee.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|"''That's'' better!"]]

Later, after serving with Bumblebee in protecting an Alaskan pipeline, among other engagements to protect the American infrastructure, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}} Arcee was part of Ironhide's team in retrieving [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] from Cybertron, which ran afoul of [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 17|Return to Cybertron: Part 1}} She acted as Bumblebee's distraction, drawing [[Storm Surge (Movie)|Storm Surge]] and [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] away, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron: Part 2}} and doubled back to regroup with Ironhide (and pull him out of rubble) when [[Unicron]] arrived. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} Later, she got Optimus Prime up to speed on the situation. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

Following the Decepticon re-conquest of Savannah, Arcee was part of the raid to rescue [[Mikaela Banes]]. She got off one bit of bravado about how hitting things was her kind of shindig before [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] hit ''her''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

When the Autobots launched their final strike, Arcee was part of the spearhead team hitting the [[Decepticon Heartland]]. She started off the 'tagging' of Decepticons to teleport them away from Earth, getting [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] in the back and looking very happy about it. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part Three}}

===Toy bios===
Arcee was well trained by Ironhide, making her one of the most dangerous Autobots. She believes without question that the Decepticons must be stopped at all costs. {{storylink|#Scout Class toys|Arcee (Scout)}}

Arcee honed her speed by hunting [[turbofox]]es with other speedsters, challenging herself to get as close as possible before tagging them with her bow. Arriving on [[Earth]] at some point in the early 21st Century, she would spend her days stalking unsuspecting Decepticons until she drew them close enough to strike. {{storylink|#2007dlx|Arcee (Movie Deluxe)}} However, when the situation on Earth began to ramp up into out-and-out combat, Arcee was reassigned to the [[Charii system]]. It was there where her stealth skills would be of more use, fighting against a Decepticon splinter cell working on a star-breaking weapon. {{storylink|Robo-Vision|Arcee (Robo-Vision)}}

Nevertheless, Arcee jumped at the chance to get back on Earth and was soon handed control of her own strike team, made up of robots similar to her in attitude and design. She stalked Decepticons and killed them on the quiet. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 2|Arcee (ROTF Deluxe)}} She also started following the tradition of inscribing Cybertronian words on your chassis: while she wasn't superstitious, the ''Decepticons'' sure were! It also gave her a nice confidence boost. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 4|Arcee (DOTM Deluxe)}}

Whenever Arcee partook in a fight, she was fighting to win. She always made sure her weapons were fully charged and her engine was tuned to perfection. By the time Decepticons saw Arcee in their rearview mirrors, there was no escape for them. {{storylink|#Fast Action Battlers|Cyber Pursuit Arcee}}

While fighting the dread [[Tailwhip]], Arcee was trapped in his vortex and her only chance was to shoot out the blades of the evil robot above her. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 3|Rotorwash Rumble}} Her closest comrade was Ratchet, as they both carried a standing feud with [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] for [[The Thrill of the Hunt|unknown reasons]].<ref name="battlebio">[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro Arcee Battle Bio]</ref>

*'''Arcee''' (Target exclusive Scout Class, [[2007]])
**''Accessories'': Launcher, missile, scope, 2 tailpipes, "Energon" star

: Arcee is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]], replacing her pinks and most of her whites and blacks with blue, and her translucent red with smoky brown plastic. She transforms into a "superbike"-type racing motorcycle. Unusually for a Transformer, she does not hold her weapon in her hands as most figures do. Instead, her Energon Bow mounts on a peg on either arm, with her hands being positioned to give the appearance of her using the bow. The bow itself is spring-loaded, firing a grey "arrow" missile.

:Arcee (and the rest of the Scout wave) were [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] stores, where they were all part of a [[Robo-Vision]] promotion. Arcee came with a Robo-Vision Decoder which allows you to see the Robo-Vision Code ("BULLSEYE") printed on her cardback. Starting [[June 2]], 2007, Target's website allowed users to input those codes to access exclusive content, a concept similar to the online [[Cyber Planet Key]] info from the [[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]].

:This toy was also sold as a Farmers exclusive in [[New Zealand]], and was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]]'s Cybertronian form in the [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] movie comics.

:This mold was also used to make ''Superlink'' Ariel Paradron Type, as well as the [[BotCon 2005]] "[[Descent into Evil]]" set's [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]], [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]], and the fellow Target-exclusive [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|movieverse]] [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]], which was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Arcee (SG)|Arcee]].

**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''MA-11'''

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Deluxe Arcee transforms into a purple 2006 Buell Firebolt XB12R motorcycle, genericised to get around licensing issues. Arcee has references [[tampograph]]ed on her [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], such as her motorcycle's fictional model name, "RC 1100" (Get it? "RC" as in "Arcee"), and her [[Massachusetts]] [[license plate]] marked TF7407, the original release date of the movie.

: Arcee's [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature is located in her crossbow weapon (formed out of the seat/storage area of the bike), activated when the projectile (the bike's tailpipe) is inserted, which pushes out the recurved lath parts on the sides of the weapon. The rectangular peg which is supposed to be used to attach her weapon to her forearm in [[robot mode]] is sometimes a poor fit, and the weapon may pop off. As an alternative, the round peg by which the weapon is attached in ''vehicle'' mode can also be used in robot mode, with a little rearranging of parts.

: Undocumented in the instructions, the two shoulder-mounted half-wheels contain a small niche on the edge of the tires. By folding the wheels down with the hubcaps pointing towards the chest and turning the tires towards the shoulders, one can feel the wheels gently click into place via the tire niches and hidden tabs in the shoulders, allowing the wheels to remain in place and more closely resemble the figure as pictured on its packaging. Probably coincidentally, Arcee is almost perfectly scaled to 3.75 inch figures like Hasbro's own ''G.I. Joe'', though this would put her vehicle mode more in line with the size of the larger Kawasaki Ninja than the Firebolt.

: As with most larger Transformers toys that become motorcycles, Arcee has a kickstand on the left side of the bike; unfortunately, it's mounted so low that she will fall in the opposite direction if it is fully extended.

**''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cycle cannons

:[[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] converts from an unlicensed approximation of a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} to a robot with a unicycle for legs. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicycle-bot one of the more stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Chromia's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. There is also a piece on the bottom of the vehicle mode (or back of the robot mode) that folds out, but there is no indication in the instructions as to what this piece is for. However, the piece can slide into a similar piece in the later Arcee toy, starting the supposed combined mode.

:While the instructions depict the motorcycle seat remaining flat so that it ends up covering the bottom wheel, the robot mode more closely resembles the movie design if the seat is folded in and locked into a slot on the motorcycle's bottom, as shown on the back of the packaging. The packaging photo also shows Chromia's front wheel resting behind the robot's shoulders, while the instructions leave it above her head. Furthermore, while it is not mentioned either in the instructions or shown on the box, the stand can be attached backwards and rotated with the guns facing up so that it acts as a prop for the toy, allowing the wheel to actually touch the ground, and letting the toy look from the front like it is unsupported. In addition, the stand can also be attached to right arm as an inordinately large handgun by sliding the two pegs inside the gun into two slots on the inside of the arm.

:The stand has sculpted tank treads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it.

:Though the instructions do not explain it, the back of the blister card mentions she has a [[Mech Alive]] gimmick in her left arm. While it isn't quite the "spinning gears" the card refers to, swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun.

{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

:Deluxe class ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Arcee converts from an unlicensed {{w|Ducati 848}} to a robot mode that can look quite awkward if not properly aligned. The figure has a sidecar which can become a Dual Sniper Pistol<ref name="battlebio"/> or a display stand. In robot mode, she is equipped with a small cannon on her right wrist that can deploy a spring-loaded energy blade. Small [[Cyberglyphics]] inscriptions are molded onto the surface of the blade.

:Her [[Mech Alive]] feature is located not in her elbow, as the packaging would suggest, but instead in her chest; tilting her neck up and down causes a pair of exposed gears to turn.

[[File:ROTF-toy FAB CyberPursuitArcee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Cyber Pursuit Arcee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Exhaust pipes/missile

:A simplified version of her ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toy, [[Fast Action Battlers]] Arcee is targeted at the age 5 and under demographic, being a simplified version of her Deluxe-Class toy and having more limited articulation (that's better than most Fast Action Battlers toys). This version does away with the sidecar/stand in favor of a built-in, fully retractable stand, as well as featuring a kickstand and free spinning wheels. Her main gimmick is the ability to fire her dual exhaust pipes as a single missile in both robot and vehicle mode. She features fully working suspension, but due to the transformation locking both wheels in place, it is not available in vehicle mode.

:Despite being intended for a sub-line that focuses on fast and fairly easy transformations, the design of the shoulder joints and the nature of the transformation can make transforming from robot to vehicle mode frustrating. Ironic.

*'''Autobot Skids / Arcee / Mikaela Banes''' (Human Alliance, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-25'''
{{toydesigner|[[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Coming with [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mikaela Banes]], ''[[Human Alliance]]'' Arcee is a robot that transforms into a motorcycle. As with the other Human Alliance vehicles, Mikaela can ride her in her vehicle mode.

: This figure, which is somewhere in between [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends]] and [[size class|Scout Class]] size, has a motorcycle mode that is slightly similar to Arcee's Ducati 848, with some elements resembling the Aprilia RS125 Mikaela is riding at one point in the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|movie]], and some elements entirely made up. The robot mode, meanwhile, is clearly that of the blue motorcycle, [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]]. Hasbro explained in their monthly Q&A that it ''is'' meant to resemble Mikaela's bike, and they called it "Arcee" so kids wouldn't be confused by two separate red/pink bikes.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=65426 Hasbro December 09 Q&A, AllSpark]</ref> Also, the face, which is mostly unpainted save for a few small details, doesn't resemble ROTF Arcee's movie design at all. In fact, the head design bears some resemblance to [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird]].

: Despite being larger than a Legends Class figure, Arcee features less [[articulation]] than most of them. While her right elbow features a swivel joint, the left arm is sculpted in one piece, and the elbow fixed in a permanent position.

: This mold was later redecoed into ''Dark of the Moon'' Human Alliance [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-1]].

*'''Mudflap / Chromia / Seymour Simmons''' (Human Alliance, 2010)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-31'''

: Coming with [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] and [[Seymour Simmons]], Human Alliance Chromia is, you guessed it, a robot that transforms into a motorcycle. Simmons can ride her in her vehicle mode as well.

: Aside from the colour scheme, this "Chromia" is clearly meant to be Arcee as it has the main component's robot mode, and its vehicle mode is closer to Arcee's than either the motorcycle included with Human Alliance Skids or the Deluxe Chromia. Its higher level of movie-accuracy includes a much more accurate head sculpt, and although its left arm is also cast in one piece, the extra articulation in the shoulders, waist and hips makes the figure more posable than the other HA motorcycle.

: The transformation is surprisingly complex and fiddly for a figure this size, which is basically a non-autotransforming version of the larger FAB. In robot mode the figure has a piece than the wheels can stand on to support them, or be rotated behind to prop the figure up with some care. The kickstand is too short to hold the bike upright in vehicle mode, although this is easily fixed by gluing a small piece of black plastic to its base to lengthen it. She suffers from balance issues in robot mode as well, since her robot-mode stand ends up placed more towards her left side instead of at the center, meaning she tends to fall to her right side often.

: She also comes packaged incompletely transformed, with her (difficult to open) right hand left untransformed as the motorbike's seat. Good luck getting ''that'' out.

*'''Elita-1''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''AA-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cannons

:Elita-1 is a black, white and metallic pink [[redeco]] of Chromia, transforming from a unicycle-robot into a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} motorcycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Chromia's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. She is slightly retooled from the original Chromia figure, sporting an extra tab that allows her chest to lock together more securely. She was released as part of the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] promotion.

:Elita-1 features a small [[Mech Alive]] gimmick: swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun. Her stand has sculpted tank threads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it. Her license plate has ''3L 174'' written on it as an stylish way of spelling her own name. [[Headmaster (Animated)|A certain fellow]] would approve of that.

:[[TakaraTomy]] initially mistakenly solicited their release of Elita-1 using the purple Arcee redeco from the "Rotorwash Rumble" pack. The actual released toy uses the Chromia mold just like Hasbro, with a more [[show-accuracy|screen accurate]] deco that uses more purple paint.

:A redeco of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Arcee figure, this version is mostly cast in smoky clear pink plastic, with her sidecar being white this time. Liberally scattered across her body are opaque pink [[Cyberglyphics]]. The packaging callouts return to falsely indicating that her left elbow contains moving gears.

[[File:Studio_Series_52_Arcee_combiner.JPG|upright=0.9|thumb|left|Team carry!]]
:''[[Studio Series]]'' Arcee is a Legion Class-sized mold accurate to her appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen'', transforming into a pink approximation of a Ducati 848 sportbike unlike her previous toys, which were generally colored bright red. She comes packaged with [[Chromia (ROTF)#Studio Series|Chromia]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)#Studio Series|Elita-1]] in a three-pack priced at the standard Deluxe Class price value, making the trio the smallest transforming figures in the ''Studio Series'' line to date. The set includes three unique stands for each sister's bottom wheels, helping them stay upright, and a cardboard backdrop display of their pursuit of [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] through Shanghai's streets.

:Though not included in the toys' instructions, the three sisters can combine into a kind of motorcycle-centaur form, as originally proposed for (but cut from) the movie (see "[[#Notes|Notes]]," below). The combined form is assembled using special tabs on Elita-1 and Chromia's stands to link the figures together, and its appearance is completed with three accessories: a pink cannon, a blue sword, and a blue shoulder pad, which all attach to Arcee. Arcee can also wear the parts while in her individual robot mode (as can Chromia), but neither they nor the sisters' stands store anywhere in vehicle mode.

:Part of the 16th wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Arcee is an extremely accurate depiction of her appearance in ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' and transforms into a Cybertronian vehicle that incorporates significant visual cues from [[Arcee (G1)|G1 Arcee]]'s Cybertronian convertible mode. Like most of ''Bumblebee'''s Cybertronian characters in the toyline, her alternate mode was created by Hasbro and TakaraTomy for the toy as the film model was not designed to transform.<ref>"SS BB intro figures all have altmodes designed post-film by Hasbro/TT for this line" — [[Chris Ho|Vangelus]] on [https://twitter.com/Vangelus/status/1466819619063308289 Twitter], from the December 3, 2021 ''Transformers'' team roundtable</ref>

:She comes with two pistols based on her weapon in the film, itself a shrunken down version of the larger blaster the other Autobots used. Since she only used one in the film, the other can be given to ''Studio Series'' [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Studio Series|Cliffjumper]], who did not include the smaller blaster he had in the movie. The blasters can store on tabs molded onto her thrusters/backpack in robot mode. In vehicle mode, they are meant to be held in her hands at the rear of the vehicle. The tabs on her thrusters can also be used, but doing so will leave her hands ''very'' exposed. The heels can fold down to become wheels for Arcee to skate on in robot mode. There are molded gaps in the front wheels that are meant to line up with other parts of her feet; forgetting about them means the feet will not collapse all the way.

:Oddly, Arcee has no blue paint for her optics, giving her a very dead-eyed look. On some copies, it can be difficult to keep her neck tabbed into the front of her torso.

:Like all other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a display backdrop. As with most ''Bumblebee'' ''Studio Series'' figures, this backdrop depicts a war-torn Cybertron as it appears in the beginning of the film.

:Arcee was officially revealed during the [[December 3]], [[2021]], ''Transformers'' team roundtable with fans.

Her small size is to scale with other characters from the movie. She comes with her blaster, which stores underneath the motorcycle to form a kickstand. Like her ''Bumblebee'' toy above, the wheels on her legs can be flipped down as roller skates.

:Her front wheel is on detachable 3mm peg, and comes as such in the box. It can be removed and wielded in her hands or just to clean up her back. The rest of her back kibble can also be removed if so desired, due to it using a friction hinge.

:The stock photo of her motorcycle mode is badly mistransformed, neglecting to transform the rear entirely. According to Sam Smith, this Arcee's face is pink and her wheels are on her legs based on an earlier version of the movie design.

:Notably, Arcee is packaged with her waist swiveled so that her legs are facing to her left, due to the size of the wheels on the back of her legs.

:Arcee and her wavemate [[Freezer]] were first revealed via [[Amazon.com|Amazon Australia]] listings, days before their official reveal by Hasbro on [[January 10]], 2023.

[[File:Movie scale chart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|In the time before time...]]
===Single Arcee===
*Arcee was originally going to be a member of the live-action movie's Autobot cast, but was later replaced by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. According to screenwriter [[Roberto Orci]], they would have needed to explain the point behind female robots, which there wasn't any time for in the movie.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2007/07/02/exclusive-interview-robert-orci?page=3 Roberto Orci explaining the reasons for Arcee's removal from the script in an interview with IGN.]</ref> Oddly enough, there was no attempt to do so in ROTF.
*In another interview, Alex Kurtzman cited "scale issues" as an additional reason for dropping Arcee; allegedly, Michael Bay simply considered her too small as compared to the rest of the Autobots.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070714214451/http://www.wizarduniverse.com/movies/transformersmovie/005082421.cfm?page=1 Wizard interview with Kurtzman and Orci]</ref>
*As part of [[BotCon 2007]]'s Hasbro tour, fans viewed "Robot Scale Chart v03", dated 11.22.05, which showed Arcee's height as 9' (2.7m). However, all of the designs on this chart were very early and later heavily revised (though [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] was revised far less than the others).
*It's commonly assumed that Arcee's big part in the movie would have been the scene in which [[William Lennox]] starts his solo assault on [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] using an abandoned motorcycle. However, the screenwriters rejected that notion, stating that this scene wasn't written until ''after'' Arcee had already been dropped from the script—but if she ''had'' remained in the movie, that scene ''would'' have probably featured her as the motorcycle.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/2288318-post539.html Orci once again clearing up the story between Arcee and the motorcycle Lennox uses during the final battle]</ref>
*Arcee came close to being killed off in ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'', as the trade states that two revisions of the plot had her dying.
*Arcee was the host of a "Lonely Hearts" letter column in the Titan comic's [[letters page]].
[[File:BB-Arcee-model.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|Ok, her legs were too skinny before, but now we're exaggerating..]]

Writer [[Roberto Orci]] explained that she was written as a singular entity, but that [[Michael Bay]] "kept them as individuals".<ref>[http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2009/07/ask-orci-final-edition.html Roberto Orci answers questions on the Transformers Live blogspot, July 13, 2009.]</ref> If this was Bay's intention, it does not particularly come across in the movie (as the trio doesn't really ''do'' anything), beyond perhaps Arcee referring to her components in the plural form in one instance. The novelization of the film adheres to the script's intent, describing Arcee as a "[[Multi-component Transformer|Tripartite Cybertronian]]", while the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline chose instead to identify Arcee as only ''one'' of the bikes (the pink/red one), and characterize the other two as the separate characters [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-1]], who were characterised as Arcee's sisters.
**IDW Publishing's ''[[Transformers: Tales of the Fallen|Tales of the Fallen]]'' mini-series, complimented a few years later by ''[[Transformers: Rising Storm|Rising Storm]]'', goes to some lengths to marry the two concepts, depicting Arcee, Elita-1 and Chromia as a trio of robots animated by one spark, sharing thoughts and feelings but still possessing some degree of autonomy from one another.
**[[Titan Books|Titan]]'s comics, on the other hand, depict Arcee as having three bodies in their comic strips (sometimes even forgetting about ''that'' and drawing her in her original first movie toyline body), only to have their letters pages make the contradictory claims that a) they ''were'' separate robots who aren't related and Arcee's just the only one namechecked, and b) that ''nobody knows'' and that it depends "on who you ask".
**Hasbro ''Dark of the Moon'' website adheres to the original idea for Arcee, identifying her as a "a single mind that operates three bodies". Further, it follows through on the events of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' by stating that two of her components were destroyed during the battle at Giza. That, of course, is in fairly complete contradiction to previous Hasbro bios that have Elita-One still operating in the post-movie [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] setting.

*It was originally intended that the three individual "Arcees" would combine into a singular, larger robot in the film, but Michael Bay chose to drop the idea for fear of the confusion it would cause given how much else was already going on in the film.<ref>[http://www.siggraph.org/s2009/computer_animation_festival/sessions/details/?id=131 Q&A session with ILM effects supervisor Scott Farrar at Siggraph 2009]</ref> The idea evidently remained until comparatively late in production; both an unknown designer (see right) and [[Steve Jung]] [http://web.archive.org/web/20160323144936/http://stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=0 created a model] for the combined robot, and it appears in both the film's novelization and in the animatic for the Shanghai battle scene included on the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' DVD. A vestigial reference to the combination even exists in the finished Arcee, Chromia and Elita-1 toys in the form of a fold-out tab on each that allows them to link up back-to-back. Despite claims made by Hasbro that instructions for the trio's combined form would be made available online, the eventual relegation of Elita to a simple redeco of Chromia neutralized any real chance of the figures attaining any true combination capability, though this was returned to in ''Studio Series''.
**The combined form of the ''Studio Series'' toy appears to be based on [[:File:Rotf-scale-autobots2-1-.jpg|concept art used in the Autobot scale chart]] that appeared on the film's second DVD, rather than any of the other concepts that can be found online.
*The toy [[bio]] for ''Revenge of the Fallen''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s other motorbike Autobot [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]] seems to refer to Arcee's change in form between the first and second movie toylines, claiming that he wants to undergo the new "combiner retrofit" he's been hearing about, strongly implying that Arcee underwent the same process. The absence of Arcee's combined mode from the film and IDW's own later explanation for her change in form never matched this implication, though.
*The animatics of the Shanghai battle scene included on the ROTF DVD serve to '''make Arcee more confusing'''. The "Lamborghini Jump" animatic depicts a trio of three female motorcycle Transformers (two red, one either silver or black) chasing Sideways, similar to the scene with Arcee and her compatriots as it appears in the final film. However, as the animatic continues, at least two of the bike-girls jump on Sideways in mid-pursuit, who he manages to throw off and into a building by swerving. Sideways is then confronted by ''another'' trio of bikes (pink, yellow and blue), who merge into a single robot and flip towards him, only to inexplicably disappear immediately afterwards. What the ''hell?''
*At some point between the film and the concept art stages of ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Arcee's body was flipped horizontally; this resulted in all of her toys (at the time) being based on the concept art, making them inaccurate to her appearance in the film. Many years later, the ''Studio Series'' toy would correct this to be more in line with her CGI model used in the film.
*While ''Revenge of the Fallen'' is wholly apathetic on whether or not the shots that take down Arcee are fatal, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman would later claim that all three Arcee components were killed<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/274058-dvd-blu-ray-commentary-4.html#post4226117 DVD/Blu-Ray Commentary - Page 4 - TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards]</ref> at the behest of director Michael Bay.<ref>[https://www.mtv.com/news/1608508/michael-bay-reveals-transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen-death/ Michael Bay Reveals 'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen' Death]</ref> IDW's comics ignored this and continued to feature the three sisters in ''Rising Storm''.
**[[Harold Attinger|Attinger]]'s playing card of Arcee lists her as "deceased", indicating that Orci and Kurtzman's claim has been supported. Of course, said card uses an image of Elita-1.
