:''Firetrap is an [[Autobot]] from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]] (via the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 Transformers toyline]]).''

[[Image:TF2010_scout_Firetrap.jpg|thumb|upright=3|Pay no attention to the colors, I'm not [[Brawn (ROTF)|Brawn]]. Really!]]

'''Firetrap''' is enormously enthusiastic about ammunition—the more specialized, the better. And as far as he's concerned, the best way to enjoy himself is to use said specialist ammo to take out [[Sunspot|unsuspecting]] [[Decepticon]]s.<ref>''Hunt for the Decepticons'' Scout Class Firetrap packaging bio</ref>

{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy), , [[Shōji Kawamori]] ([[Studio Nue]])}}

:Grimlock's toy was originally part of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' Dinosaur Robo series. When [[Hasbro]] imported the toy in 1985 for the ''Transformers'' line, its blue pelvis was changed to red, its sword was changed from chrome to flat red, the Diaclone driver mini-figure was dropped but still retained the cockpit though later releases had it permanently locked shut, and its teeth were altered [[for safety reasons]].

:The original Grimlock changes from robot into a robotic ''{{w|Tyrannosaurus}}'', and comes with a red [[energo weapon|energo-sword]], a black double-barreled rifle, and a rocket launcher with three silver rockets.

:In Japan, he and the other four Dinobots were offered as mail-away items during ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (toyline)|Operation Combination]]''; Grimlock cost 2300 yen (his original retail price) and 2 [[Robot Point]]s.

**''Accessories:'' Pretender shell, helmet, "Atom-Smashing Submachine Gun", "rocket launcher" dino-tail
:The [[Classic Pretender]] version of Grimlock is much smaller, simplified and slightly modified, but still transforms into a robotic ''T. rex''. His dino tail becomes a rocket-launcher-gauntlet thing that can be held by either the inner robot or outer shell, but either way has got to be a ''bear'' to aim properly. He came with a large human [[Pretender]] shell with a rather knight-like armor theme, with a helmet and large cannon with a blade on the barrel, giving him a pseudo-sword.

:His shell's head looks a lot like a younger {{w|Ed Asner}}, and also bears a passing resemblence to his voice actor, [[Gregg Berger]].

Grimlock was mostly unchanged from to the Hasbro release, but sported a silver painted face instead of Hasbro's orange painted one.

:In Italy, [[GiG]] released their own version of the Hero Set, named "Set Commandos", instead of the Classic Pretender versions of the toys. Grimlock, was renamed from "Tiran" to "Drago", originally the Italian name of [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]]. The "Set Commandos" toys were identical to the Japanese "Hero Set" versions.

**''Accessories:'' Anti-tank cannon partner, "[[particle beam cannon]]"

:Part of the initial assortment of non-transforming [[Action Master]] figures, Grimlock's design combines his cartoon model with extra toy-based detailing. He came with the [[Anti-tank cannon]] "partner" machine which could be ridden by Grimlock (or any other Action Master) or unfolded via spring-loaded [[gimmick]] to form a really ''big'' hand-held "long-range mortar launcher". He is compatible with any other Action Master vehicle or weapon.

:Grimlock's original toy was [[redeco]]ed for release in ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'', this time lacking the missile launcher accessory. He was available in three different colors; the first—and rarest—in his original silver (the easiest way to spot if this is a ''Generation 2'' or original is by the "Autobot" [[tampograph]] on his leg), then in a medium turquoise-blue, and finally (and most commonly) in a dark blue.

:The only new toy in the third wave of second-year ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' Deluxes, Grimlock is a [[redeco]] of [[Dinobot (BW)/toys#Toys|Dinobot]] in gray and gold with dark blue spots, transforming into a "raptor" of some variety. His tail detaches and separates to form a gear-powered, spinning blade weapon, while the central "tail bone" separates to be used as a sword. The entire assembly can store in [[robot mode]] by flipping down the tail-mount and pegging the blade's base to the peg on his lower back. He also has a "mutant mask", halves of a dino-skull that flip up to cover his more robotic head. Thankfully these pieces are not pinned in, and can be easily removed for better clearance. He was also slightly [[retool]]ed from the original mold to have ratcheting shoulders and space for an "energon chip" [[rubsign]].

: Grimlock is extra-notable for suffering from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]], making his hip-joints in particular prone to snapping off. Grim.

**''Binaltech ID number:'' '''BT-10'''
**''Accessories:'' Engine/gun, energo-sword
{{toydesigner|[[Mark McCall]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: For the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line, Grimlock's [[alternate mode]] was changed from a dinosaur into a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]], 1:24 scale silver {{w|Ford Mustang}} with opening doors, hood, and trunk, a detailed interior, [[rubber tires]] and a working steering mechanism. His engine transforms into a double-barreled gun, and he also carries an orange "energo-sword" which can attach to the underside of his vehicle mode. The toy is one of the most-complained-about ''Alternators'' toys, due to its notoriously finicky transformation (with many small steps that must be performed in exactly the right order) and to several pieces which have a tendency to pop off with relatively small amounts of force. And it's a Grimlock who doesn't transform into a ''Tyrannosaurus rex.

: The main difference between Hasbro's ''Alternators'' version of the toy and the Japanese ''Binaltech'' version is that the latter has its vehicle shell partially made out of painted [[die-cast]] metal parts, whereas the ''Alternators'' version is made entirely out of plastic (not counting the rubber tires). In addition, the ''Binaltech'' version's engine/gun and the wheel's rims are [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metalized]], whereas they're simply painted silver for the ''Alternators'' version.

:This sculpt was retooled into ''Alternators/Binaltech'' [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Wheeljack]].

**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher, missile, removable tail
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Joe Kyde]] (deco artist), [[Don Figueroa]] (concept artist)}}

: ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Grimlock, a gray and gold ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', is a re-imagined form of his original toy, and is notably designed to run rather than drag (theories on the ''T. rex'' having changed from "caveman adversary" to "Carl Lewis in lizard skin" since the Generation 1 incarnation).

:This mold features a few design elements likely influenced by Grimlock's Pretender toy; his bayonet blaster is an homage to his gun/blade combo weapon from said toy, and his tail detaches to become a handheld weapon as it does for the inner robot of his Pretender toy. Another similarity is the ''T. rex''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s upper-body forming the [[robot mode]] legs (though the ''T. rex'' head forms his feet this time around).

:Grimlock's bayonet blaster (dubbed the "[[Guardian Blaster]]" in his [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 13|TFCC profile]]) can be deployed in either mode and fires a clear red projectile. Both weapons can be stored on his back when not used. As with most ''Classics'' toys, Grimlock features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]], placed on the left side of the tyrannosaurus torso/his left leg.

:A common complaint about the figure is the size of the peg that locks his arms in place being too small in relation to the peg-hole, making it difficult to keep transformed. The black shoulder flaps above this assembly are meant to tab into these and lock the whole thing together, but the flaps don't align properly and the tabs themselves are too short to even reach the slots. In addition, the bayonet blaster has a hair-trigger and his fist holes are a few fractions of a millimeter too small to accommodate standard 5mm peg accessories that most modern ''Transformers'' toys use.

:An unpainted ''Classics'' Grimlock was used at the [[BotCon 2007]] customization classes to create ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Overkill (G1)#Timelines|Overkill]]. The mold was also [[redeco]]ed to make [[Grimlock (SG)#Toys|''Shattered Glass'' Grimlock]] and [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|''Universe'' (2008)]] Overkill.

**''Accessories:'' Gun, Energo-sword

:Based upon his appearance from ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'', this version of Grimlock transforms into a Cybertronic heavy tank. This transforming partly die-cast and plastic Grimlock was initially unreleased due to the cancellation of the ''Transformers'' series of ''Titanium'' toys at retail (the line would continue on for ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' at the three-inch scale). The toy was eventually released in the fall of 2008 as a Toys-R-Us exclusive, alongside the also-almost-unreleased War Within [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Titanium Series|Prowl]].

:He includes a cannon and his trademark sword. In vehicle mode, the sword can peg onto the side of his rear treads, while the cannon can peg into the back of the cabin. The cannon has a joint on its connector so it can swivel around.

: ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei!

As with all ''Henkei'' toys, he lacks the heat sensitive rubsign seen on the ''Classics'' release, and instead features vacuum-metalized "chromed" plastic (in a similar [[gimmick]] to the ''Beast Wars'' [[Transmetal]]s toys). The vac-metal is used on his [[beast mode]] feet, as well as the ''Tyrannosaurus'' torso, which was, oddly enough, in Hasbro's original deco plan for ''Classics'' Grimlock.

**''ID number:'' '''MP-8'''
**''Accessories:'' Energo sword, twin 'stunner' lasers rifle, waiter apron, waiter bow tie, waiter tray, 7 unique waiter glasses, intelligence transfer helmet, crown (reissue exclusive), flame (reissue exclusive)
{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] (concept artist)}}

: Released in March of 2009, ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Grimlock is based upon his original toy and cartoon model, transforming into an outdated view of the ''Tyrannosaurus'' rather than the more accurate depiction seen on ''Classics'' Grimlock. Of all the Masterpiece figures, Grimlock features both the least complex transformation, as well as the least deviation from his original toy's essential [[transformation|transformation scheme]].

: ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock features the usage of [[die-cast]] metal for his dinosaur mode's toes and an LED mounted within his right fist which illuminates both his gun's barrels and his sword. As a result of said mechanism, the only articulated part of his right hand is the thumb. Similarly his left hand is modeled much like [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Masterpiece Starscream]]'s hands with the thumb and index finger fully articulated with the remaining fingers joined together. Possibly as a show of good faith regarding the sacrificed articulation, [[TakaraTomy]] designed his alternate mode's arms to be highly poseable, featuring full articulation of the claws with the arms themselves attached to the body with ball joints.

: He features many gimmicks, including the ability to change his eye color in either mode from red to blue with the flip of a switch found at the back of his head in robot mode, and by opening the top of his head in dino mode and switching the eyes around. This allows the owner the choice of representing the use of blue in the cartoon (and his IDW alternate mode) or the use of red in most other media, including his original toy. His tail is connected to his head, and by wiggling and moving it, the head rotates at the base of the neck. Pushing down on his torso in dinosaur mode makes his legs move up higher into his body, and as a result his head will look up. His alt mode's head features jaws that snap shut at the press of a button hidden on his cheek; in addition, it also has a tiny sculpted flame thrower in its mouth, but [[for safety reasons|for your safety]], it does not actually breathe fire (boo). Besides his weapons, he also comes with a cloth apron and bow tie to go with a drinks serving tray he carried in "[[Madman's Paradise]]", as well as the device he used to transfer his super-intelligence into [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] in "[[Grimlock's New Brain]]".

:When he was reissued, he came with a crown redecoed from the King Grimlock release and a new flame attachment to go over his sword.

*'''King Grimlock''' (December, 2009)
**''ID number:'' '''MP-8X'''
**''Accessories:'' Energo sword, twin 'stunner' lasers rifle, crown

:King Grimlock is a redeco of the ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock with a color scheme based on his appearance in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Generation 1 Marvel comic]]. All of his previously flat gray surfaces are coated in silver paint, his gold chrome is more vibrant, and his previously black plastic is now a dark blue in reference to the limited color palette of the Marvel Comics issues, and the colorless chrome used for his tail and arms is now a light blue chrome. He also features some different paint applications: on his dinosaur chest, inside the clear panel on his robot mode chest, and on his robot mode knees. In addition, his toes are now metallic yellow instead of metallic gray. He also lacks the faceplate paint of the original Masterpiece Grimlock. His sword is also tinted orange rather than neutral clear, and the clear panel on his chest is clear dark green plastic instead of neutral clear. Curiously what were the red eyes in dinosaur mode on the original ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock are now the blue eyes on King Grimlock, and the blue eyes are now the red. The product also features the crown worn by Grimlock in the comics instead of the accessories from the cartoon, such as the waiter apron or the glasses. The [[package art]] is drawn in an homage to the early style of ''The Transformers'' published by Marvel Comics, as well as a bilingual ''[[The Transformers Universe|Transformers Universe]]'' style [[bio]] on the back of the package.

:King Grimlock was only available via [[TakaraTomy Mall|Toy Hobby Market]], the official shopping site of TakaraTomy. Pre-orders were open through [[July 31]]st through [[September 11]]th 2009, with the toy shipping out in December.

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' Grimlock transforms into a robotic ''[[Popular beast alternate modes|Tyrannosaurus rex]]''. He comes with a sword with a [[5 mm post|5mm handle]] and a peg on either side of the hilt, as well as a shield which can mount via its single peg. Grimlock features 5mm ports for his hands, as well as on his forearms/lower dino legs and shoulders/dino hips. Interestingly, the hollow sides of his dinosaur arms feature [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]-compatible [[C joint|3mm ports]].

:His main [[gimmick]]s, however, are that he has a light in his dinosaur mouth, and a chomping dinosaur jaw. When a lever behind his dino head is pulled, his mouth opens, and the light turns on, strongly illuminating his head. This gimmick can also be used in robot mode, as his dino head ends up inside his hollow chest, although it's not as effective. The [[insignia]] on his chest is the Lightning Strike Coalition variant of the Autobrand.

: 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, shrunken character renders for both Grimlocks, and a sticker on the back confirming that this was a Japanese release. The sword is also packaged on the center of the bubble, instead of hiding underneath it. This figure was also the first release of the [[Grimlock (Energon)#Toys|''Energon'' Grimlock]] mold in Japan.

:Available only as part of the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] [[exclusive]] "Dinobots Generation One 4-pack" that was first made available at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] [[2014]], Grimlock is a redeco of the ''Age of Extinction'' Voyager Grimlock figure, and features heavy use of vacuum metalization, transparent plastic and paint applications to recreate the look of the Generation 1 Grimlock toy. He retains the mace accessory, and its head, or the entire weapon, can be attached to Grimlock's dinosaur mode tail. Grimlock was packaged with [[Swoop (G1)#SDCCDinobots|Strafe]], [[Snarl (G1)#SDCCDinobots|Snarl]], and [[Slag (G1)#SDCCDinobots|Slug]], and their box unfolds into a diorama of the crashed [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] in [[Mount St. Hilary]]. A similarly-themed toy of [[Slog (AOE)#Amazon|Sludge]] was released via Amazon in ''Age of Extinction'' packaging.

*'''Grimlock''' (Legion, 2014)

:Part of the Generation 1-inspired 2014 Legion Class assortment, Grimlock is a redeco of ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' ''[[Beast Hunters (toyline)|Beast Hunters]]'' [[Rippersnapper (Prime)|Rippersnapper]], and transforms into a vaguely shark-like dragon, although his package art, recolored from the [[:File:MTMTE8 cvrRI.jpg|RI cover]] of [[Scavengers (Part 2): Who's Afraid of the DJD?|''More than Meets the Eye'' #8]], and the Hasbro website product description would have you believe that it's a mechanical ''T. rex''. Being the sixth use of the sculpt, it's starting to show instances of [[Mold#Deterioration|mold deterioration]], as several sections (such as the tabs that hold the robot mode torso together, or the parts of the beast mode neck formed by the robot mode feet) don't fit properly anymore.

:In the United States, Grimlock has thus far been found at Big Lots and Family Dollar stores. In Australia and Europe, he is available at general retail again, just like the previous [[wave]] of Legion Class figures. In 2015, he was re-released in redesigned packaging now resembling the currently released ''Combiner Wars''-era ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]''' packaging template, but replacing the name ''Generations'' with "Authentic Transformers".

:The [[stock photography|stock photo]] on the back of the packaging depicts him with ''Beast Hunters'' Cyberverse Commander Class [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#BHCyberverse|Optimus Prime]]'s sword, which is also listed as an accessory in the Hasbro website product listing for this toy. The actual toy doesn't include a weapon. Furthermore, the [[instructions]] printed on the back of the packaging of the 2014 release are completely inaccurate, as they are for an [[Grimlock (AOE)#WalmartENmold|entirely different "Grimlock" toy]]! (This was fixed for the 2015 release.) Even if the instructions ''had'' been accurate, they probably wouldn't have mentioned that Grimlock can also form a leg of [[Abominus (Prime)#Beast Hunters|Abominus]] (or a combiner of his redecoes).

**''Accessories'': Sword, crown

:Available only in the "Grimlock Unleashed" set, both the buildable Grimlock and the Grimlock Kreon are based on the Generation One looks of the character, despite the other Kreons on the set being based on their Age of Extinction versions. The Kreon comes with his Energo-Sword and two optional helmets, a Sideswipe-style one and a crown based on the time Grimlock led the Autobots. Unlike other Kreons, Grimlock has his faceplate printed on the figure face instead of added by the helmet.

:It is incredibly poseable and well-built by Kre-O standards.

: This set popped up at Toys"R"Us a few short weeks after the initial product without any advance warning... and retailed for a mere $25, despite the size of the set.

**''Accessories'': Twin-cannon, left & right missile launchers, 2 missiles, left & right gun-pods, large rifle, flame-blast

: Part of the first (and only) wave of Electronic Action ''[[Hero Mashers]]'' toys, Grimlock is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints... and considerably larger than any other figure in the line at that. His design is based on his ''Age of Extinction'' counterpart, but also takes some cues and the coloration from the Generation 1 version of the character. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory.

: He is designed with a removable head, forelimbs, thighs, lower legs, and tail, 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 large size is augmented by a large number of accessories and gimmicks. The signature electronic aspect is a light-up mouth, used to illuminate his "flame blast" accessory, or any other transparent accessory you care to stuff into his gaping maw. He also comes with two spring-loaded missile launchers.

:Part of the ''Generations [[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' Dinobots 5-pack, Grimlock is a redeco and retool of [[Grimlock (AOE)#Voyager Class toys|''Age of Extinction'' Voyager Class Grimlock]], sporting a Generation-1 inspired deco and a head. This release also suffers from a small degree of mold deterioration: the ''T. rex'' heels that connect with his forearms and the shoulders/''T. rex'' upper jaw halves seemed to connect loosely.

:Grimlock was bundled with Slug, Slog, Snarl, and Strafe.

: This set was initially released as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in Canada in October 2015, followed by Singapore a month later (although it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular store there or not). Much later, it became available via the Australian Toys"R"Us website (but never found in stores).

*'''Grimlock''' (Cyber Battalion, 2015)

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian|Generations: Cyber Series]]'' Cyber Battalion class figures, this Voyager-sized mold of Grimlock transforms from robot to dinosaur and back. The figure has a far greater range of articulation than many other Cyber Series figure to date. A small switch on the back of his beast-mode head moves his jaw up and down.

:This version of Grimlock is a unique amalgamation of three versions of the character; the robot mode head, torso, and transformation scheme take cues from [[Grimlock (RID 2015)#Warrior Class|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' Grimlock]], the coloration is borrowed from [[Grimlock (AOE)#Toys|the toys of the live-action movie Grimlock]], lastly the styling and (scientifically outdated) stance of the dinosaur mode resembles the classic G1 Grimlock look.

:Like all of the ''Cyber Series'' figures, Grimlock initially did not get distribution in the United States, but has been reported showing up in Asian markets and was also solicited to South America. Toy importers did stock this series in a limited capacity and they sold out quickly in 2015 and effectively disappeared at that time. The line was later distributed in larger quantities by [[Walgreens]] stores in parts of the United States.

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

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Titan Master]]s, Clobber is a retool of [[Squeezeplay (G1)#Titans Return|Crashbash]] and transforms from a robot into a head compatible with any Deluxe-or-larger figure in the line. Clobber features a new head piece based on Generation 1 Grimlock's animation model. [[Hasbro]] stated at [[BotCon 2016]] that Clobber ''is'' Grimlock himself, leaving the reasons for his name unclear, but some kind of attempt to avoid confusion with the contemporaneous ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|character]] seems a likely explanation. Clobber features peg holes in his feet to allow him to stand on a variety of ''Titans Return'' figures, and is packaged with a beast accessory with three modes: a dragon for Clobber to ride, a ''T. rex'' formed by combining with Clobber, or a 5mm-compatible gun for larger figures. His new face piece was molded in black plastic, rather than gunmetal. Clobber gives his larger partners super strength.

:As with Crashbash, Clobber's instructions feature the same error for steps 6(5)-8(7).

:The beast accessory released with Clobber also has more than a passing resemblance to [[Snarl (G1)#AM|Snarl]]'s [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] [[Action Master partner]] [[Tyrannitron]], though, whether this was an intentional nod or just pure coincidence, is yet to be seen.

:This toy also doubles as the independent ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' character [[Clobber (BWU)|Clobber]].

He can combine with his fellow Dinobots to form [[Volcanicus (POTP)#Toys|Volcanicus]] and can attach any ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style Deluxe Class figure. Like the other Dinobots in this subline, he features translucent plastic with gold paint on the inside to give him a 'layered' look reminiscent of [[#Generation 1|his original toy]]. He also includes two pieces of Prime Armor that each can hold a [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]] (and by extension, an [[Enigma of Combination#Generations|Enigma]] or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]]) and attach to his forearms as battle claws. These also double as feet for Volcanicus. Like all the other Voyager Class figures, Grimlock includes an Enigma of Combination (dubbed the ''Dinobot Enigma''), based on a Prime Master, which can attach to him via the previously mentioned Prime Armor. In beast mode, he can carry an Enigma, Matrix core, or Prime Master ''in his mouth'', where Volcanicus's chest would be. If you're particularly creative, you could place a Matrix in his mouth.

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

{{toydesigner|[[Evan Brooks]] (Hasbro), [[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Marcelo Matere]] (packaging artist)}}

: Released to commemorate the 35th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', ''[[Studio Series]]'' Grimlock is inspired by the ''Masterpiece'' figure, which hybridized the look of his appearance in [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the Generation 1 cartoon]] and his original toy, while sporting multiple aesthetic details unique to the ''Masterpiece'' toy. Because he is also influenced by the concurrently-ran ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', this Grimlock conforms to the trilogy's concerns for scale, making him the tallest Leader Class figure in the format.

: This figure comes with a non-transforming and slightly articulated [[Wheelie (G1)#Studio Series|Wheelie]] figurine (plus his slingshot) and Grimlock's rocket launcher, which can store on his back in ''T. rex'' mode.

: Grimlock's colors were subject to multiple changes (see right). Physical samples were not shown on the [[October 16]]th [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fan First Friday]] due to in-progress color changes by [[TakaraTomy]]. The original renders shown at the time had yellow parts, a clear chest panel, and an opaque dino neck, evoking the Generation 1 cartoon model. [[Hasbro]] stock photography somewhat reflected this, but the dino neck was made translucent-yellow instead to reveal inner details, much like the [[#The Transformers|Generation 1 toy]]. In the end, the final toy (used in TakaraTomy stock photography) featured gold paint instead of yellow, a translucent-black chest panel instead of clear (both of which closer evoke the original toy), and an opaque dino neck. Despite the translucent Generation 1 toy-styled neck feature being scrapped on the final toy, the neck halves are still molded in translucent plastic (the same translucent-black plastic used on his chest panel) and the detailed piece inside the neck assembly still remains, meaning one could remove the gold paint from the neck halves and salvage this feature for a more toy-accurate look.

: Like the other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a diorama display for the figure. In this case, it is the Dinobots' famous (ahem) ''self-invited'' entrance at [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]'s execution.

: Grimlock was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Grimlock (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Grimlock]].

:Released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'', ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' "Maximal Grimlock" is a retool of [[Dinobot (BW)/toys#Generations|Dinobot]] from the same line, transforming from a robot mode based on Dinobot's ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon appearance into a ''[[Jurassic Park]]''-accurate ''Velociraptor'' in 28 steps. Grimlock features a new head based directly on Grimlock's (and therefore, Dinobot's) original ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' figure. Grimlock's hands have a [[5 mm post|5 mm port]] that can hold both his weapons and can close to hold objects. He also has 5 mm ports under his heels and one under his back-[[kibble]]. His tail can detach and split into two components: his Cyber Slash tail weapon, and his sword. If one chooses to, the 5 mm port on the hand or the hand's swivel joint can allow the Cyber Slash weapon to spin in his hand. The sword's tip is molded with the same texture as Grimlock's skin, presumably to better blend in as the tail tip in beast mode. Due to the Cyber Slash weapon connection, the sword cannot be held by other Transformers toys with traditional 5 mm port hands. The Cyber Slash weapon can store in robot mode by attaching to the same port as beast mode.

:Oddly for a modern ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' figure, Grimlock's ''Velociraptor'' mode features a deco that strays from the original ''Beast Wars'' toy and ''[[Transformers: Dinobots|Dinobots]]'' [[Grimlock (Dinobots)#Toys|Grimlock]]'s decoes and includes some particularly odd choices like leaving the fake "eyes" on the chest unpainted, but painting exactly ''half'' the knee section white, despite that portion being mostly concealed in beast mode.

:And in what can be considered a surprise, Grimlock is mentioned in Hasbro's official description for the figure to be inspired by the character's appearance in ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]''!<ref>[https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-generations-war-for-cybertron-kingdom-battle-across-time-collection-deluxe-wfc-k40-autobot-mirage-maximal-grimlock "Beast Wars: Uprising-inspired Maximal Grimlock toy converts from robot to raptor mode in 28 steps"]</ref> Even though his [[Beast mode#Beast Wars: Uprising|Beast Upgrade]] appearance was never shown.

:The nylon plastic used for Grimlock's shoulder joints, thigh joints, and forearms has been reported to yellow quickly over time.

Though similar to the ''Siege'' "Final Strike Figure Series", being exclusive multi-packs with package art that combines into a larger piece, the "Battle Across Time Collection" label is printed on the box. The two-pack is exclusive to [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and [[Hasbro Pulse]] in the US, and in the UK on Hasbro Pulse and several online retailers.

Part of his beast mode tail detaches to become a twin-barrelled gun in robot mode. Grimlock also forms the left leg for Volcanicus, the first combiner released within the Core Class scale. He's probably disappointed at not forming the torso... Similar to how [[Goryu (G1)|Goryu]] is the leader of the [[Dinoforce]], but only forms the left leg of [[Dinoking]]. Hmmm... Like Snarl, the underneath of Grimlock's crotch features an H-shaped-ish port, most likely used for a foot panel like Monstructor/Dinoking does.

: Due to being connected with the frame that holds the dino body/arms and head, the combiner knee joint may cause it to bend up due to how (slightly) tight the construction is. While Grimlock's combiner peg can be attached to any of the thighs, he is ''only'' designed to attach to the left side, given the joint's placement, and the cavity on Grimlock's left robot foot providing clearance on the gestalt's thigh panels (the left half of Sludge's robot legs/rear tail).

: His stock photography is mistransformed, the legs can flip around to form a better-looking tail, reducing the amount of kibble hanging off his back section.

: Grimlock and the other Core Class figures from his wave arrived at US retail ''less than a week'' after their initial reveal.

: ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Walmart|Toxitron Collection]]'' "G2 Universe Grimlock" is a redeco of [[#Studio Series|''Studio Series'' Grimlock]], now featuring an eye-searing "tropical" striped color scheme. In keeping with the theme of the other members of this [[Walmart]]-exclusive collection, its colors are based off a redeco that had been proposed for the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|''Generation 2'' toyline]] but was ultimately never realized (see [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Notes|Notes]]).

: This version of the mold leaves the translucent plastic on his dino mode neck unpainted, revealing some previously-unseen mechanical detailing, keeping the deco even more in-line with the original toy. It also lacks a [[Wheelie (G1)#Studio Series|Wheelie figure]], which is a pity because we ''really'' wanna know how that would have shaken out.

: This figure was revealed inadvertently by Hasbro, when they published a picture of its box in an announcement that was supposed to be about [[Toxitron (Universe)#Legacy|Toxitron]]. He was later spotted at a Walmart in Florida<ref>https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/07/14/transformers-legacy-toxitron-collection-g2-grimlock-sighted-at-us-retail-489573</ref>, prior to any official announcement by Hasbro.

===Robosen Collector's Edition===
*'''Grimlock Auto-Converting Robot''' (2023)
**''Accessories:'' carrying case, galaxial rocket launcher, energon sword, crown, wall charger, USB-C to USB 2.0 cable, [[collector coin]]

:The third entry in Robosen's series of G1-style ''Transformers'' robots, this Grimlock is a highly-interactive, programmable transforming robot. Made with 85 microchips, 37 servo motors, and a 6-axis IMU, and capable of speaking over 150 voicelines (all newly-recorded by [[Gregg Berger]]), Grimlock straddles the line between "toy" and "high-end showroom electronics" like the other Robosen robots... though it ''definitely'' leans more towards the latter, given that Robosen not only touts Grimlock as "The World's First Dual-form, Bipedal Walking Robot," but his regular asking price is also an absurd '''$1700'''. Using either voice commands or a companion iOS/Android bluetooth app interface, users can control Grimlock's movements by either using pre-programmed commands or creating movement routines of their own. From an aesthetic perspective, on the other hand, this Grimlock is essentially a 15" tall upscale of his Masterpiece figure, down to various sculpted details that were seemingly recreated 1:1.

:Grimlock is primarily powered by an internal lithium ion battery, charged via a USB-C connection. Based on [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Robosen Collector's Edition|Optimus Prime]], the LEDs for Grimlock's Galaxial Rocket Launcher and "energon sword" are likely powered by a replaceable CR 1220 3V battery.

:Like Optimus Prime before him, the voice command that triggers Grimlock's transformation is officially "[[convert]]", but "transform" works just the same. All told, Grimlock has 42 built-in voice commands he can respond to, from simple movement commands like turning left or right to actions like leaning forward and roaring in dino mode. Carried over from Robosen's [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Robosen|Bumblebee]] is "mini-theater" mode, a selection of longer pre-programmed action sequences with matching sounds, with sequences featuring Grimlock either by himself or with other Robosen G1 robots available to pick from. Considering that Robosen continually rolled out new commands and firmware updates for Optimus Prime for months after his release with no clear end date, Grimlock will more than likely recieve additional commands for some time after his release.

:37 servo motors is definitely a ''lot'', but that effort was moreso put into ensuring Grimlock can transform and remain balanced while doing so – compared to contemporary 1st-party figures costing ''over a thousand dollars less'', Grimlock's robot mode lacks basic neck and wrist rotation, and his legs are incapable of rotating such that his feet can point any direction other than straight forward. Dino mode likewise has a notable sacrifice: while his ''T. rex'' neck can rotate a bit to the left or right and his head can look up and down, this comes at the cost of no arm articulation whatsoever.

:When asked to turn right or left in robot mode, Grimlock 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.

:Sadly, Grimlock shares the same inability to stand in robot mode without power as Optimus Prime – when turned off, Grimlock will lean forward and rest his robot arms and legs on the ground. Dino mode fares better, as he ''will'' stay standing up when he's powered off... but as his joints have now gone limp, he's liable to tip or slouch at the slightest bit of disturbance, so if you do decide to put him on display in this mode, make sure he's somewhere ''very'' stable.

:Grimlock's pre-programmed animation set assumes his rocket launcher is in his right hand and his sword in his left. There aren't any sensors to detect whether they and/or the crown are in place, so it's best to avoid, say, <strike>transforming</strike> converting Grimlock while they're in place. On a lighter note, Grimlock is capable of wearing the crown in both modes, meaning it no matter whether he robot or dino – Grimlock always king!

: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 (if Optimus Prime is anything to go by, at least), such as a head nod or a full mode conversion.

: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. Grimlock's knuckles and feet will almost certainly 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 of Optimus Prime have reported toppling issues due to a lack of traction. Grimlock ''is'' designed to be more stable thanks to his IMU, but heed caution all the same.

:Grimlock was revealed on [[Hasbro Pulse]] on July 19, 2023, with orders set to ship out from both Pulse and Robosen's own online store in late Fall 2023. When revealed, Grimlock was made available at a special introductory price of $1500; this is set to last until September 30, at which point his regular price will go into place.

:Released as part of the [[McDonald's]] June 2018 Happy Meal Toys along with [[My Little Pony]], Grimlock is a stubby, [[super deformed]] little dino with fire coming out of his mouth.

===''ReAction''===
[[File:TF-Super-7-ReAction-Figures-Grimlock.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Grimlock''' (2020)
**''Accessories'' Energo Sword, Twin Laser Rifle

:Released in the first wave of [[Super7]]'s line of multi-property 3.75-inch "retro" action figures, ''[[Super7#ReAction|ReAction]]'' Grimlock is a non-converting 3 3/4-inch action figure based on his appearance in the original cartoon, with five points of articulation (swivel neck, shoulders, hips) and holes in his feet for use with some variety of stand. Unlike most figures in the line, he comes with two accessories instead of just one, and both of this hands can hold an accessory.

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

{{-}}{{anchor|ReActionDino}}
*'''Grimlock''' (2022)

: This depiction of Grimlock, released in the fifth wave of the ''ReAction'' line, has him in his dinosaur mode, taking up a significantly larger chunk of cardback real estate and requiring a much deeper bubble.

: It retains the "five points of articulation" theme, as this figure lacks neck articulation, but instead has a jointed jaw for talky-talky or bitey-bitey action, which we can all agree is awesome. ''Jawsome'', if you will. We'll give you props for that, Super7.

{{-}}{{anchor|ReActionDinoG2}}
*'''Grimlock G2''' (2022)

: This [[redeco]] of the above dino-mode Grimlock figure is now redone in rich blue, to match his ''Generation 2'' toy color scheme (or one of them, anyway). However, he still has the original Autobot faction symbol on his chest rather than the ''Generation 2'' version, which isn't ''not'' accurate to the original toy really, but still.

: He was released as part of the fifth round of [[Target]]-exclusive ''ReAction'' figures, alongside the similarly-toy-based "[[Galvatron (G1)/toys#ReActionGray|Galvatron G1]]" figure.

[[File:XMStudiosGrimlockStatue.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Apatosaurus was nowhere near as confusing as this.]]
*'''Grimlock''' (2022)

:[[XM Studios]]' statue of Grimlock is nearly 40" tall, made of hand-painted porcelain. Grimlock has [[LED|light-up eyes]] and comes with alternate sets of arms that allow him to brandish his signature sword, gun, and... giant spiked mace? The mace and some of the color and detail choices on this statue suggest it mixes elements of both the G1 character and his [[Grimlock (AOE)|live-action movie counterpart]]. The set also includes a sculpted representation of Grimlock's dino mode that can be displayed next to the robot.

:399 pieces were produced, with a suggested price of about $1,900 US.

==Notes==
[[File:G2GrimlockArtwork.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|Heavy Metal Greymon.]]
* Grimlock was originally a ''[[Diaclone]]'' "[[:File:DiacloneGrimlock.jpg|Dinosaur Robo Tyrannosaurus]]". The only differences between this incarnation and the ''Transformers'' release are that the ''Diaclone'' version has a silver-chromed sword and a blue crotch piece rather than red, as well as coming with a green-and-black Diaclone pilot figure.
* The original ''Diaclone'' commercial for the mold that became Grimlock showed him spewing fire from his mouth. So much for truth in advertising!
* There is (or ''was'') [[:File:Grimlock Natural History Museum.JPG|a Grimlock toy]] placed in the showcase in the dinosaur section of the {{w|Natural History Museum}} in [[London]], [[United Kingdom]]; oddly, this doesn't make him the [[Slag (G1)|only one]]. Sadly, however, he has since been removed from the display. Boo!
* Despite being released in three different color schemes during the ''Generation 2'' toyline, a piece of recolored card artwork—seemingly from the collection of a former [[Hasbro]] employee—has surfaced on [[eBay]] (alongside recolored artwork of [[:File:G2SwoopArtwork.jpg|Swoop]] and [[:File:G2SludgeBoxart.jpg|Sludge]]), showing what may have been an intended fourth version of the Grimlock toy for that line. Being bright yellow with teal stripes, it certainly ''looks'' very [[neon|'90s]], and would delight such fans when it reached fruition in a modern mold in [[2023]].
* [[T-Wrecks]] may have been intended to be a new form for Grimlock, based on the references in his tech spec bio to his ''Beast Wars'' "Attack Specialist" function and other hints. However, T-Wrecks' appearances in the [[3H Productions]] ''[[Transformers: Universe (comic)|Universe: The Wreckers]]'' comics suggest he is a new, unrelated character.
* A working name for the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Ford Mustang mold which ultimately ended up as Grimlock was "[[Freeway (G1)|Freeway]]", according to various early store listings.
* The [[Grimlock (Energon)|Grimlock]] toy released in the [[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|''Energon'' toyline]] was originally created by [[Hasbro]] for release as a special new-mold addition for the [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|2003 ''Universe'' toyline]], and was intended to represent Generation 1 Grimlock. However, it wasn't and it didn't for the combination of budgetary concerns and keeping the combination gimmick (since he combines with the packed-in [[Swoop (Energon)|Swoop]] to form "[[Mega-Dinobot]]") only in the ''Energon'' toyline, which had combination as a central theme.

CrummTheDumm: /* Notes */

{{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 [[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]].

{{TOCclear}}

==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====
While a similar size to previous "Scout Class" assortments, these 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====
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.

====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 N' Change====
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====
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"
:::*Wheeljack: "Blueclaws"
}}

:*For the 2020 releases, only one code name is currently known:
{{collist|3|
:::*Shadow Bumblebee: "Alpha Strike"
}}

:*The "Optimus Prime Battle Base Trailer" set didn't fall under either of those themes; instead, it used the code name "Radar" for toys of Optimus Prime's [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action film series counterpart]] from the ''[[Studio Series]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' lines, with the theme for the code names from ''those'' lines being "Australian race horses".

C.O.M.B.A.T. System

2023-07-13T21:04:47Z

CrummTheDumm: /* Deluxe Class */

{{disambig3|Weaponizer}}
[[File:WFC-Siege-C.O.M.B.A.T.-System-examples.jpg|thumb|300px|And that's how, with a few minor adjustments, you can turn a regular gun into five guns.]]
The '''Cybertronian Omnifunctional Modular Battlefield Assault Tech System'''<ref>[http://www.toyhypeusa.com/2018/10/04/hasbro-nycc-2018-transformers-war-for-cybertron-seige-official-press-release-event-coverage/ Toy Hype USA, 4 Oct 2018: "Hasbro NYCC 2018 – Transformers War For Cybertron: Seige Official Press Release & Event Coverage"]</ref>—or the '''C.O.M.B.A.T. System''' for short—is a type of modular weapons technology purported to be the most advanced in the universe. Employed by the [[Transformer]]s in the final days of their conflict on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], C.O.M.B.A.T. weapons can convert into alternate forms suited for different types of combat or combine to become bigger and stronger.

The system is perhaps most visible in the '''Weaponizers'''—sentient Cybertronians who can split apart into weapons for their comrades.

===''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' marketing material===
The Weaponizer ability was one of [[Slammer]]'s weapons and powers. {{storylink|War for Cybertron: Kingdom|''Kingdom'' webpage}}

==Toys==
Weapons under the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' C.O.M.B.A.T. System have multiple [[5 mm post]] hardpoints on them so that they can be combined in various configurations (some official), and can sometimes transform into different weapons. [[Micromaster]]s, which are bundled in two packs, are able to combine into large weapons as well as transform into their vehicle form. This size class is also used for Soundwave's minions, who can turn into cassettes or be used as a shield with fold-out pegs. "[[Battle Master]]s", small [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]]-type figures, combine with other weapons and figures. They include additional "Fire Blast" effect pieces that can be placed onto other weapons included with other size classes, as well as hardpoints on the figures themselves to simulate being 'shot' or on the back of vehicles to simulate "rocket boosters" or "speed", depending on the effect part. Each effect part attaches via a 3 mm hole or, in most cases, 5 mm posts. Some Deluxe Class figures are classified as "Deluxe Weaponizers," which can be disassembled into multiple weapons to be used in the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. Most Weaponizers were released in the ''Siege'' toyline, with the prominent exception of [[Slammer#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Slammer]] who was released [[A.I.R. Lock System|two whole]] [[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology|modular systems]] later in ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]''.

The names of the weapons and their official combinations were located in the instructions as well as promotional material prior to their release.

C.O.M.B.A.T. System

CrummTheDumm: /* Micromaster */

{{disambig3|Weaponizer}}
[[File:WFC-Siege-C.O.M.B.A.T.-System-examples.jpg|thumb|300px|And that's how, with a few minor adjustments, you can turn a regular gun into five guns.]]
The '''Cybertronian Omnifunctional Modular Battlefield Assault Tech System'''<ref>[http://www.toyhypeusa.com/2018/10/04/hasbro-nycc-2018-transformers-war-for-cybertron-seige-official-press-release-event-coverage/ Toy Hype USA, 4 Oct 2018: "Hasbro NYCC 2018 – Transformers War For Cybertron: Seige Official Press Release & Event Coverage"]</ref>—or the '''C.O.M.B.A.T. System''' for short—is a type of modular weapons technology purported to be the most advanced in the universe. Employed by the [[Transformer]]s in the final days of their conflict on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], C.O.M.B.A.T. weapons can convert into alternate forms suited for different types of combat or combine to become bigger and stronger.

The system is perhaps most visible in the '''Weaponizers'''—sentient Cybertronians who can split apart into weapons for their comrades.

===''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' marketing material===
The Weaponizer ability was one of [[Slammer]]'s weapons and powers. {{storylink|War for Cybertron: Kingdom|''Kingdom'' webpage}}

==Toys==
Weapons under the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' C.O.M.B.A.T. System have multiple [[5 mm post]] hardpoints on them so that they can be combined in various configurations (some official), and can sometimes transform into different weapons. [[Micromaster]]s, which are bundled in two packs, are able to combine into large weapons as well as transform into their vehicle form. This size class is also used for Soundwave's minions, who can turn into cassettes or be used as a shield with fold-out pegs. "[[Battle Master]]s", small [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]]-type figures, combine with other weapons and figures. They include additional "Fire Blast" effect pieces that can be placed onto other weapons included with other size classes, as well as hardpoints on the figures themselves to simulate being 'shot' or on the back of vehicles to simulate "rocket boosters" or "speed", depending on the effect part. Each effect part attaches via a 3 mm hole or, in most cases, 5 mm posts. Some Deluxe Class figures are classified as "Deluxe Weaponizers," which can be disassembled into multiple weapons to be used in the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. Most Weaponizers were released in the ''Siege'' toyline, with the prominent exception of [[Slammer#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Slammer]] who was released [[A.I.R. Lock System|two whole]] [[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology|modular systems]] later in ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]''.

The names of the weapons and their official combinations were located in the instructions as well as promotional material prior to their release.

[[File:Insignia mainpic.jpg|thumb|upright=1.50|Some of the most prominent faction insignia that the [[Transformer]]s have fought under.]]
Throughout the [[Transformer]]s [[multiverse]], one constant across the myriad iterations of the [[Great War]] is the use of '''insignia''' to differentiate members of the respective armies — most prominently, the heroic [[Autobot]]s and evil [[Decepticon]]s.

{{quote|And ''these ones'' have different tribal markings! Perhaps they’re rivals?|[[Pakak]] on Maximals and Predacons|"[[Savage Landing Part 2]]"}}

==Conceptual history==
[[File:G1_toy_insignia.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.55|The toy packaging's faction insignia were stylized and metallic. Note the beveled detailing on the Decepticon symbol's crest, which was misinterpreted as a third spike for the cartoon.]]
Faction insignia were used to differentiate heroes and villains in several 1980s Hasbro toylines, including [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] and [[Visionaries]], but the ''Transformers'' toys were the first to make heavy use of the idea on the toys themselves. The original Autobot and Decepticon insignias, supposedly designed by [[Wayne Molinare]], were seemingly based on toys from the first year of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original ''Transformers'' toyline]]; the Autobot symbol is a heavily stylized and simplified version of the face of [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], while the Decepticon insignia is drawn from that of [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]].

For the toy packaging and the cartoon's [[scene transition]]s, the insignia were rendered in metallic colors with beveled edges. This resulted in an odd curiosity of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original cartoon]]'s designs; as the designers were evidently working off these renderings rather than a flat image, the beveled detail at the top of the Decepticon symbol's crest was misinterpreted as a third spike on said crest, resulting in a disparity between the cartoon insignia and other appearances of the Decepticon badge. This version of the insignia remained otherwise unused for decades, but eventually saw a return as part of the ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' toyline's move towards ever-more-painstaking animation accuracy, starting with [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-29 Destron Laserwave]].

[[File:Live action movie insignia.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.55|In 2007, the Autobot and Decepticon insignia were redesigned to fit the tone of the new movie. In practice, this means Angry Eyes.]]
Though replacements for the Autobot and Decepticon insignia were introduced for ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Transformers: Generation 2]]'', with the G2 Autobot symbol being based on the face of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], they failed to catch on. When the [[Transformers brand]] was reimagined in the mid-1990s as ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'', entirely new insignia were created for the new heroic and villainous factions, the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]], though these were not based on any specific toy or design; rather, they reflected the mammalian and insectoid memberships of these factions. Over the next decade or so, new symbols were designed for [[Blentron|various]] [[Vehicon (BM)|new]] [[Mini-Con|factions]] [[Wreckers|and subgroups]], with a wide variety of stylistic influences.

For the 2007 [[Transformers (film)|live action ''Transformers'' movie]], the famous Autobot and Decepticon insignia were given a redesign, with the most obvious changes being the eyes — the tops of the Autobot symbol's eyes were slanted slightly down, and the Decepticon symbol's eyes were shrunk and changed from triangles to diamonds. The implementation of these redesigns is inconsistent, as while the redesigned insignia are typically used by movie tie-ins with everything else using the classic designs, "mix-ups" of the symbols frequently happen; infamously, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], the breakout character of the movie franchise, wears the classic version of the Autobot insignia on his forehead crest.

[[File:FireintheSky Skyfires magicAutobotsymbol.jpg|thumb|upright=1|"Welcome to the Autobots! Now you have to wear [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl's]] face on your body."]]
[[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]] switched sides, tearing the Decepticon insignia off of his chest and installing an Autobot insignia. {{storylink|Fire in the Sky}}

[[Wheeljack (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Wheeljack]] reawakened the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s and told them to go help their friends. They reluctantly agreed and flew off after them. When they arrived, they initially could not distinguish friend from foe, until [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] suggested that their friends might be the ones with the same robotic face on them as they had. {{storylink|S.O.S. Dinobots}}

[[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] once stole [[Skywarp (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Skywarp]]'s insignia as part of a successful plan to turn the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] against the other Decepticons. {{storylink|Traitor (episode)|Traitor}}

====''Wings Universe''====
[[File:Pyro streetwise insignia g2 redux.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.6]]
After defeating [[Clench (G1)|Clench]]'s Decepticons at the [[Large Hadron Collider]] in [[Switzerland]], [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] decided that he would have the rest of the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobot]]s transferred to serve on [[Earth]]. To make it official, [[Pyro (G1)|Pyro]] handed him a set of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' Autobot badges. {{storylink|Generation 2: Redux}}
{{-}}
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
{{noteukonly}}
When [[Slag (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Slag]] was revived by [[Ratchet (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ratchet]] after being trapped in a tar pit for four million years, he went into a frenzy and attacked, until he saw Ratchet's Autobrand and calmed down. {{storylink|Repeat Performance!}}

[[File:MarvelUS14-Jetfire-RiteOfTheAutobrand.jpg|thumb|left|Die cast construction...]]
''[[Ironhide (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ironhide]] was uncomfortable taking orders from [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], who was still wearing a Decepticon insignia.'' {{storylink|Dinobot Hunt!}} Jetfire officially became an Autobot after going through the [[Rite of the Autobrand]]. To better disguise themselves on Earth, [[Wheeljack (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Wheeljack]] installed [[Circuit (circuit)|shielding circuitry]] into the Autobots which enabled a metal sheet to cover their Autobot symbols in [[alternate mode]]. {{storylink|Rock and Roll-Out!}}

The [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] fooled [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] into thinking they were Autobots by wearing fake Autobot symbols. {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}} The [[Sports Car Patrol]] tricked Ratchet into thinking they were Autobots by wearing counterfeit Autobot symbols—Decepticon and Autobot symbols on a rotating plate so they could switch back and forth. {{storylink|Back from the Dead}}

Megatron spent some time in [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s [[Dead End (place)|Dead End]] district as an [[Empty]]. His mind was damaged and he just wandered about the place until the sight of an Autobot symbol snapped him out of it. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}}

[[File:Springer carnivac catilla insignia survivors.jpg|thumb|right|...it's a lost art.]]
''United into a [[Survivors|single team]] following the events of the [[Time Wars]] and by battling the nightmare creatures generated by [[Skids (G1)|Skids]]'s time in [[Limbo]], [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] offered to make [[Carnivac (G1)|Carnivac]] and [[Catilla (G1)|Catilla]] [[Honorary Autobot]]s, passing them a pair of Autobot badges as he did so.'' {{storylink|Survivors!}}

When [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] surrendered to the Decepticons, he laid an Autobot insignia at [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s feet. Scorponok promptly crushed it. {{storylink|Surrender!}} After the Autobots and Decepticons came together to fight [[Unicron]], they continued their uneasy alliance and adorned their headquarters with an insignia that included a slightly modified Decepticon sign atop a slightly modified Autobot sign. {{storylink|Still Life!}} [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] and [[Darkwing (G1)|Darkwing]] were outside in Cybertron's increasingly bad weather discussing the planet's upcoming self-destruction when the wind blew the gigantic Autobot insignia off the wall and onto Dreadwind's head. {{storylink|Exodus!}}

====Marvel ''Generation 2'' comics====
The Autobots had at some point begun using a new insignia that resembled Optimus Prime rather than the [[Last Autobot]]. [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s Decepticons were also using a new symbol, similar to their old one, that coincidentally closely resembled the [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]] insignia.

===''Beast Wars''===
[[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]]'s Maximal insignia once morphed into a Predacon one (and later back again). No other Transformer showed they could do this, and he only used it for a con. {{storylink|Double Jeopardy}}

When the [[Transmuter (BW)|Transmuter]] turned [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] into a Predacon, it automatically changed his insignia as well as giving him a [[redeco]]. {{storylink|Dark Designs}} Likewise, [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] gained a Decepticon insignia while he was possessed by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Possession}} [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] sported both Decepticon and Predacon insignia while working as a Predacon secret agent. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part 1)}}

Waspinator ''pulled his insignia off'' like it was a fabric patch when renouncing his Predacon membership. {{storylink|Nemesis Part 1}}

[[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] has such an ego, he created [[:File:OptimalSituation Tarantulas insignia.jpg|his ''own'' special insignia]] for his [[Arachnoid]]s.

===Unicron Trilogy===
[[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]] could change his insignia from Autobot to Decepticon—an ability he utilised for deceptive purposes. {{storylink|Credulous}} {{storylink|Ship}}

Using the power of [[Unicron]], [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]] had the ability to brainwash Transformers to the Decepticon cause. In [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]]'s case, it changed his insignia from Autobot to Decepticon. {{storylink|Imprisoned Inferno}} When Inferno fought against Megatron's influence through his willpower, his insignia would toggle back and forth until he succeeded in purging the Decepticon in him. His Autobot insignia looked brand new after that. {{storylink|Jungle Planet (episode)|Jungle Planet}}

===''Animated'' cartoon===
The [[Constructicon (Animated)|Constructicons]] gained Decepticon insignia through the [[Rite of the Deceptibrand]], which involved electrically branding the symbol onto their chests. The process also [[Homage|changed their colors]] to [[Constructicon (G1)|green and purple]]. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part I}}

When the recently-sparked [[Wreck-Gar (Animated)|Wreck-Gar]] enthusiastically decided he was an Autobot, he somehow pulled an Autobot insignia from his [[subspace storage pocket|backpack]] and slapped it crookedly onto his chest. {{storylink|Garbage In, Garbage Out}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
[[File:YouAreHere-KnightsOfCybertron.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb|left]]
The first five Transformers, the [[Guiding Hand]], each had their own personal insignia. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}} When the [[Knights of Cybertron]] left the planet, they marched beneath the banner of [[Adaptus]]. As a result of the [[information creep]] unleashed following the [[God War]], the symbols of the other four members would later be conflated as having belonged to other clans of the Knights. {{storylink|An Axe to Break the Ice}} {{storylink|The Ties That Bind (issue)|The Ties That Bind}} {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}}

In the primitive age that followed the departure of Knights, the [[Thirteen]] came to power. One of their number, the bestial [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]], marked the occasion by commissioning the "First Face" — supposedly based on [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]]'s description of [[Primus]]'s likeness, but in reality, one of the many ontological paradoxes he had dedicated himself to invoking. {{storylink|Origin Myths}} {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

[[File:OmegasConundrum-AlphaTrion.jpg|thumb|right|...It's so good we'll put it right here on the fridge.]]

The First Face was, up until the outbreak of the war, considered the closest thing Cybertron had to a universal symbol, held in high regard by the [[High Priests of K'th Kinsere]], the Ignition Cults and the Circuit Sects. Whenever the Cybertronian race was moved by significant unrest, the face would appear, often redesigned in subtle ways that historians would use to mark the transition from one epoch to the next. During [[Zeta Prime (G1)|Zeta Prime]]'s rule as Prime, the symbol was co-opted for the nascent Autobot faction. {{storylink|Omega's Conundrum}}

The Decepticon insignia came about after [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] hurled his datapad at a random screen and decided he liked the shatter pattern. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 1}} The [[Rite of the Deceptibrand]] involved molding part of the Decepticon's spark casing into their new badge; those who had not yet undergone the Rite, referred to as "[[Genericon]]s", wore "learner plates" that could be distinguished by their color. {{storylink|Life After the Big Bang}}

[[File:DCFinale megatron the autobot.jpg|thumb|left]]
Other insignia were recognized by Cybertronian society, such as the distinctive [[Facial hair|facial insignia]] worn by members of the [[House]] of Ambus. {{storylink|Remain in Light 2 of 5: House of Ambus|House of Ambus}}

When he renounced the Decepticons and declared himself an Autobot during his confrontation with [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]], Megatron punctuated the gesture by donning an Autobot symbol taken from the body of [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]]. {{storylink|...And the Damage Done: Dark Cybertron Finale|...And the Damage Done}}

Even as he took on the moniker of the "Grand Architect", Adaptus continued to utilize his insignia, having his troops branded with it. {{storylink|Animals}} {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}} In their quest for the Knights of Cybertron, the ''[[Lost Light]]'' crew repeatedly encountered the emblem but failed to connect it to Adaptus until they confronted him. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}}
{{-}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
In the aftermath of [[Maxima]]'s death, numerous proto-formers began using a stylized image of her [[Luponoid]] steed as the insignia of the burgeoning Maximal faction. {{storylink|The Predacon Manifesto}} Meanwhile, the nascent Predacon faction took the face of an [[Insecatron]] as their insignia. {{storylink|Book of Logos}}

When [[Galva Convoy]] made it clear he was no longer obeying the Builder Assembly, Knock Out noted he bore a different insignia from the Maximal one he'd had previously, one representing the [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicons]]. {{storylink|Derailment}}

===''War for Cybertron Trilogy''===
{{main|Cybertronian military insignia}}
The ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' franchise innovated an idea that no ''Transformers'' series has attempted to such an extent – a ranked hierarchy of the Autobot and Decepticon armies, matched with Cybertronian military insignias. Each insignia consists of three parts: the division (ground, air, sea, or space); the unit (infantry, recon/intelligence/espionage, medical, engineering/applied sciences, special ops/black ops, artillery/weapons, or transport); and the rank (private/raider, sergeant, specialist, captain, major, or general).

===Live-Action Film Continuity===
[[Scourge (ROTB)|Scourge]] liked to take insignias from his kills as trophies, adorning his upper arms with them. He did so when he killed [[Apelinq (ROTB)|Apelinq]], and again when he seemingly killed [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. During the final fight with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], the enraged Autobot leader made a point of removing Bumblebee's insignia from Scourge and returning it to its now-revived original owner. {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts}}

[[File:TLKCrosshairsRenderPackageArt.jpg|upright=1.8|thumb|250px|Your membership to the Continental has been, by thine own hand, revoked.]]
When the chips are down, '''Crosshairs''' is the kind of guy you'd want on your team. Or you would, if it wasn't for the fact that he's self-loving and more than a bit of a jerk. This Autobot paratrooper's got a mouthful of snark with a bad attitude and little respect for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], harboring a desire to just be on his own or otherwise be in charge himself.

Despite these vices, Crosshairs is still a crack shot who can always hit the ground running and make mincemeat out of Decepticons. He has a knack for catching his enemies by surprise, either by dropping in from above or with a lightning-fast draw of his Sidearm Blasters. As the sharpest shot on the battlefield, his peers know he'll always hit his target.<ref>''Age of Extinction: Generations'' Deluxe Class Crosshairs packaging bio</ref> And if the chips are ''really'' down, he'll come through in the end for his fellow Autobots.

Crosshairs was among the Autobots who went into hiding on Earth when [[Harold Attinger]]'s [[Cemetery Wind]] began hunting down the Autobots. Crosshairs had joined up with [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]], and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], and the group remained hidden until [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] returned to them. Crosshairs expressed joy and faith when their leader returned, saying he always believed he would, but still grumbled about the treatment of the Autobots at the hands of the humans. Crosshairs, along with Hound, immediately tried to kill [[Cade Yeager]], [[Tessa Yeager]], and [[Shane Dyson]], but Optimus restrained him, explaining their part in helping protect him from Attinger. That night, Crosshairs made known his desire to strike out on his own after Drift and Bumblebee started fighting, but fell in under Optimus as the gravity of their situation began to sink in. Crosshairs learned of [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]]'s fate, and joined in the plan for Cade and Shane to infiltrate KSI.

[[Image:AOE-CrosshairsShootingUpKSI.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Crosshairs desperately tries to restore order during your typical [[Black Friday (event)|Black Friday]].]]
However, when Cade discovered [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s deactivated head being melted down, Optimus furiously rallied the Autobots into action. Crosshairs gleefully joined in the shooting up of KSI, and was prepared to kill [[Joshua Joyce]], but after a demoralizing speech from the human, Optimus ordered a retreat. The Autobots took to the road with their human allies, and were pursued by [[Megatron (Movie)|Galvatron]] and [[Stinger (AOE)|Stinger]]. Crosshairs was absent for the ensuing battle against Galvatron, but Optimus and Tessa were captured by [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]].

[[Image:AOECrosshairs.jpg|right|250px|thumb|See? Once again our explosive personality wins the day!]]
The group made for [[Chicago]], where they snuck aboard Lockdown's vessel. Crosshairs initially refused to take part in the rescue mission, asking what was in it for him, but after some aggressive negotiation from Hound, joined in the mission. Crosshairs helped sabotage some of the ship, causing the anchors to release, which the humans used to escape after rescuing Tessa. He warned Hound against messing with alien creatures on the ship, to no avail. They soon found the captured Optimus, who instructed them to detach the part of Lockdown's vessel they were on for their own personal use. Crosshairs soon commandeered an [[Orbital Assault Carrier]], using it to pick up Bumblebee and the Humans. He flew it through the skies of Chicago, fleeing Lockdown's minions until deciding to enter the fray personally, but not before instructing Cade and Shane on how to use the OAC's weaponry. Crosshairs took on many of Lockdown's [[Shadow Raider|henchmen]] upon para-trooping into the skies, and later exited the battle and regrouped with the others.

[[Image:AOE-CrosshairsAndDriftLetThemFight.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Believes in [[Vogel|molemen]] but doesn't believe his boss can take Grimlock.]]
Crosshairs was all too happy to leave Earth when Optimus decided they would leave permanently. He remained aboard the ship stolen from Lockdown with Drift and Optimus, but unfortunately their ride off-planet was shot down. Crashing in a nearby valley, Crosshairs decided he'd had enough of being the "underdog" and said the humans deserved what was coming for them before asking Optimus what their next move would be. Crosshairs was both astonished and annoyed that Optimus recruited the aid of the [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobots]], and retreated to the sidelines while Optimus beat some authority into [[Grimlock (AOE)|Grimlock]]. Upon seeing Grimlock's massive dinosaur mode, he backed away in fear. The Dinobots joined up with the Autobots once Optimus "coerced" Grimlock, and Crosshairs mounted [[Scorn]], though not without a few more grumbles about Optimus' exceptional motivational skills. Crosshairs took on many of the [[KSI Sentry|KSI]] [[KSI Boss|Transformers]] with Scorn, and they later helped escort the Seed to safety. Lockdown's intervention threw things astray, but the battle saw the Autobots victorious. Crosshairs bid farewell to Scorn, who he had nicknamed "Spike" after the battle, and told his new friend that he'd ride with him anytime. When Optimus departed into space on his own, he ordered Crosshairs and the other remaining Autobots to protect the Yeagers from harm.

[[File:TLKCrosshairsAndBee.jpg|right|upright=1.6|thumb|The franchise's fate lies directly on your [[Bumblebee (film)|spin-off]]'s shoulders. No pressure.]]
Years after Optimus had left Earth, Crosshairs had taken refuge at Cade's [[Junkyard (TLK)|junkyard]] with the other Autobots. He occupied his time by flying around on a small fighter craft and continued to boast his desire to be leader, feeling the Autobots were getting soft hiding in the junkyard. When Cade, Hound and Bumblebee returned from an altercation with [[Transformers Reaction Force|TRF]], he proclaimed a "leader" like himself would have been far more useful than Bee. The younger bot did not take to kindly to the remark and after Crosshairs declared that Bee would never be Optimus, the argument turned physical as they began to wrestle fiercely. Crosshairs endured a visit from [[Daytrader]] and was later present, and solemn as Cade called his absent [[Tessa Yeager|daughter]]. The following morning, Crosshairs rang the morning bell for the junkyard as he sarcastically welcomed apparently another boring day.

[[File:TLK Cogman beats Crosshairs.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.6|He cracked me in the finger. Why? Why did have to crack me in the finger?]]
Crosshairs soon found they were in for a decidedly non-boring day when the Decepticons and TRF discovered where they were hiding. He and the others rolled out to a nearby town where a trap had been set. Upon arrival, Drift discovered a TRF tracking device on Bumblebee, and Crosshairs scolded the immature young bot for leading their enemies right to them. During the battle, he and Drift teamed up against the much larger [[Onslaught (ROTF)|Onslaught]], with him blasting their enemy in the chest before Drift decapitated him. Crosshairs, Bumblebee, Drift, and Grimlock then fended off the remaining Decepticons, and he mocked the retreating "chickens" as they fled. He soon shot down the remainder of the TRF drones and attempted to squish the "cockroach"/"[[C-3PO]] Ripoff" [[Cogman]], who was harassing Cade. Instead, the surprisingly strong [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] grabbed his hand and twisted one of his fingers sideways, causing him to collapse in pain. When Cade and Bee chose to go to England with Cogman, Crosshairs quickly declared himself to be in charge, but that did not entail him telling any bedtime stories to [[Izabella]].

[[File:TLKLoveThatGuy.jpg|right|upright=1.6|thumb|'''Crosshairs''': He's been gone since 2014. Should we tell him about poor Carrie Fisher? '''Hound''': Dude, don't be a downer, he just got back!]]
Later, when Cybertron arrived at Earth, he and the other Autobots were quite happy to see Lockdown's old ship delivered to them by [[Daytrader]]. They arrived at [[Stonehenge]] and reunited with the returned Optimus, who rallied them, the humans and the [[Guardian Knight]]s to protect Earth. As Optimus flew off to lead the charge, Crosshairs declared his admiration for his leader, whose speeches always gave him goosebumps. En route to Cybertron, he and the other Autobots were unimpressed with the intimating knights. In the final battle, he flew an Orbital Assault Carrier and engaged the airborne Decepticons. He managed to avoid being shot down by [[Infernocus]] and provided cover fire as Optimus and the other Autobots rushed the control center. After the battle was won, he returned home to Cybertron with the other Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

Crosshairs arrived on Earth sometime after the Decepticon invasion of [[Chicago]], and assisted [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] on a mission to track and eliminate three Decepticon survivors in [[Indonesia]]. The Decepticons retreated but Crosshairs had placed a tracking device (which doubled as a bomb) on their boss, and tracked them to [[Pulau Bidadari]]. He requested permission to go alone, claiming a sneak attack by one bot would catch the enemy off guard; in large part, this was done to show off his skills as Crosshairs felt humans couldn't be trusted anymore and it was just up to Autobots.

On Pulua Bidadari, he swiftly took out all three of his charges (secretly under the watchful eye of Bumblebee), making sure to mock the Decepticon he'd planted the bomb on before it went off. Optimus felt that Crosshairs was more than combat ready but that they had missed [[Lockdown (ROTF)|something]]. Crosshairs (incorrectly) reassured him otherwise. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.2|Thousand Island Fight}}

Crosshairs charged [[Scorn]] towards Drift and [[Slug (AOE)|Slug]] with full force...only for the Dinobots to halt at the last moment and launch their riders into each other.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro), [[Yūya Ōnishi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (deco, TakaraTomy)}}

:Crosshairs turns into a licensed {{w|Chevrolet Corvette C7|2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray}}. To replicate the duster coat he wears in the movie, his transformation involves much of the sides and roof of the vehicle mode folding up and wrapping around him, making him into a fairly egregious [[shellformer]]. But it looks awesome, so it matters not.

:He comes with what his packaging refers to as "Sidearm Blasters"; they are actually based on sticky-bombs featured in concept art for the character, but they can also be held as pistols and are depicted as such in all stock photography. He also comes with a single silenced submachine gun based on the pair he wielded in the movie proper, and he features storage for the blasters and SMG in his coattails (5mm ports underneath the rubber flaps) and calves, respectively.

:Because his duster increases his footprint by splaying out in all directions, Crosshairs is usually mistransformed both in-package and in stock photos so he can actually fit. In actual fact, his tailgate can fold down behind his head so that it's much less conspicuous and doesn't interfere with his [[light-piping]] gimmick, and two rubber flaps concealed under the vehicle mode windows fold out and connect to his torso beneath a pair of sculpted lapels, completing the duster as opposed to simply leaving Crosshairs as a robot trapped beneath the top half of a Corvette.

:Caution must be taken when transforming the rubber sections of the vehicle shell/trenchcoat, as the soft plastic is kept in place by metal pins which may erode the hinge areas, which can cause said hinges to loosen or the parts in question to tear and fall off.

:The ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' version of Crosshairs adds several new paint applications for a more screen-accurate look...except for a missing stripe on the right side of the vehicle.

:Crosshairs was redecoed into ''Age of Extinction'' [[Hot Shot (AOE)|Hot Shot]].

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

:Part of the third wave of ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|The Last Knight]] Premier Edition'' figures, Crosshairs is a retool of his ''Age of Extinction Generations'' release. The figure has new, movie-accurate weapons and remolds done to the vehicle mode to make it look more like the real car. The soft rubber portions of the 'trenchcoat' have also been changed into solid plastic ones, improving durability of said portions. (The rubber parts from the previous toy were known to rip occasionally.)

:Apart from this, Crosshairs also suffers two design flaws: The simple-assembly wheels are known to easily pop off from the vehicle due to slightly wide holes, and the guns were unable to peg into his trenchcoats properly. This was later fixed in the re-release of the figure. The flawed release features a date code "72081", whereas the fixed version features a date code written as "72011". Unfortunately as a result of where the date code is imprinted on the figure's packaging, it can be difficult to tell which number is printed. It is unknown if the flawed version also affects the Japanese release.

:Additionally, his hood section may seem like green plastic at first, but is in fact clear plastic painted over with green and black. Care should be taken when transforming the figure due to this.

:''[[Studio Series]]'' Crosshairs is a film-accurate version of the character that transforms into a licensed Corvette Stingray. Crosshairs is a [[shellformer]], though it's justified in his case to form the trench coat of his character design.

This is not mentioned in the instructions. Crosshairs comes armed with his usual dual SMGs, which can also store on the "coattails" of his trench coat in both modes.

:His spoiler is not glued in and pops off very easily. Leaving it off does allow for more [[fan mode]]s of the coat kibble. Unlike the initial renders, Crosshairs has no paint on his legs.

==Notes==
*Crosshairs voice is similar, if not identical, to that of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Leadfoot. Both characters were voiced by John DiMaggio. However, when Leadfoot is seen under attack by humans in ''Age of Extinction'', he reuses lines recorded by [[Robert Foxworth]] for [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]].
*Along with Hound, Crosshairs did not have any on-screen transformations until ''The Last Knight'' was released.
*Crosshairs (or rather the car that portrays him) went under the pre-production name "Slingshot". Interestingly enough, Crosshairs's personality, that of a somewhat self-centered braggart with a wish for command, evokes [[Slingshot (G1)|the original bearer of the name "Slingshot"]].
*Concept art for Crosshairs depicts him with facial features very similar to [[Michael Bay]]'s. His arrogant personality further suggests the posibility of having been originally concieved as a self-insert character of sorts.
[[File:Crosshairs_concept_art.jpg|thumb]]
*According to [[Paul Marlon Wood]], ''Kre-O'' Crosshairs' helmet piece is called "''[[Slingshot (G1)|Sling Shot]]'' Helmet".
*Although not as drastic as Bumblebee, Hound, and Drift's new alt-modes in ''The Last Knight'', Crosshairs' Corvette mode does feature some changes from ''Age of Extinction'', most notably the rims colored to black, a different spoiler and a slightly different pattern.
*Crosshairs' robot mode is also slightly different in ''The Last Knight'': The back of his trench coat is a bit shorter and is split down the middle.

When [[Noah Diaz]], a struggling young man trying to provide for his family, is roped into a conflict between the marooned [[Autobot]]s and the recently arrived [[Terrorcon (ROTB)|Terrorcons]], he must learn to work with weary Autobot leader [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] so they, with the help of the wise [[Maximal]]s and the unadventurous researcher [[Elena Wallace]], can stop the arrival of the planet-eater [[Unicron]].

==Synopsis==
[[File:ROTBcap-Unicronringedplanet.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|This is one unusual planet... whatever it is.]]

Somewhere in time and space, the dark god [[Unicron]] and his minions invade a [[Jungle Planet (colony)|jungle world]] populated by [[Maximal]]s. Unicron, seeking a way to cross galaxies, sends his [[Terrorcon (ROTB)|Terrorcon]] herald [[Scourge (ROTB)|Scourge]] to retrieve the [[Transwarp Key]], an advanced device that can open portals in space-time. Although the Maximals attempt to fight back, their leader [[Apelinq (ROTB)|Apelinq]] entrusts [[Optimus Primal (ROTB)|Optimus Primal]] and a small group of Maximals—[[Airazor (ROTB)|Airazor]], [[Cheetor (ROTB)|Cheetor]], and [[Rhinox (ROTB)|Rhinox]]—with the Transwarp Key and orders them to keep the artifact from Unicron. As Primal and his followers use the key to escape their doomed planet and flee to prehistoric [[Earth]], Scourge kills Apelinq after a brief fight and takes his [[insignia]] as a trophy.

Thousands of years later, in the year [[1994]], ex-military electronics expert [[Noah Diaz]] attempts to find a job to support his sick brother [[Kris Diaz|Kris]]. However, after another failed interview, his friend [[Reek]] convinces him to steal an expensive car from a nearby hotel. However, the "car" turns out to be the Autobot [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]] in disguise, who takes the terrified Noah on a joyride through the streets of [[New York City]]. At the same time, a museum on Ellis Island comes into possession of an unusual stone falcon with a Maximal insignia. After closing hours, museum intern [[Elena Wallace]] investigates the statue and accidentally breaks it open to reveal half of the Transwarp Key. The artifact releases an energy pulse that attracts the attention of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and the other Autobots, who have been stranded on Earth since their evacuation of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] seven years prior. Prime summons the nearest Autobots—[[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], and Mirage, who arrives at the meeting spot with Noah in tow. Although Optimus distrusts humans, he believes that they can use the Transwarp Key to return home and liberate their homeworld; eventually, Mirage hatches a scheme to sneak into the museum and have Noah steal the key for them.

[[File:ROTB-ScourgeBumblebee.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66|A treacherous, underhanded sneak attack! I like you, pussycat, yes.]]

Unbeknownst to the Autobots, the accidental activation of the Transwarp Key summons the Terrorcons to Earth. Noah meets Elena inside the museum, but cannot convince her to turn over the relic before the Terrorcons attack; despite Prime's best efforts, Scourge successfully overpowers the Autobot leader, steals the Transwarp Key, and mortally injures Bumblebee before Airazor arrives to help drive the villains away. Airazor explains that the Maximals have been on Earth for millennia, and deliberately split the Transwarp Key in half to prevent Unicron or his followers from using it. The loss of Bumblebee only further galvanizes Optimus's resolve that they must reassemble the key and return home; Noah, fearful of Unicron's arrival, tells Elena that they must destroy the key to protect their own homeworld.

Elena deduces that the other half of the key is located in a hidden temple in [[Peru]], and Prime recruits the airborne Autobot [[Stratosphere]] to take them there. Near the city of [[Cusco]], the Autobot [[Wheeljack (ROTB)|Wheeljack]] guides them to the temple, located beneath a [[Convent of Santo Domingo|local monastery]]. A festival prevents the Autobots from moving through the city inconspicuously; as a result, Noah and Elena must make the journey on foot. The pair discover a hidden mechanism that leads to a hidden temple with a stone sarcophogus but find that the other half of the key is no longer inside it. The Terrorcons attack again, and although the Autobots are able to evade the villains, the conflict ends with Scourge infecting Airazor with a portion of Unicron's dark energy. On the other side of the temple, Noah and Elena encounter Optimus Primal and the other two Maximals, who, after a brief standoff that was defused by Airazor, agree to join forces with the Autobots. Optimus Primal explains that they entrusted the Transwarp Key to a tribe of humans who live near the [[energon]]-rich valley that Primal and his followers inhabit—while Optimus Prime distrusts humanity, Primal has lived among them for millennia, and has come to view them as friends and even allies.

The next morning, however, Scourge's corruption finally overtakes Airazor; in the ensuing battle, Primal is forced to kill her to save Elena. Amidst the chaos, Noah makes an attempt to destroy their half of the Transwarp Key until Optimus convinces him to stand down. However, amidst the chaos, Scourge and the Terrorcons steal the other half of the key and relocate to a nearby volcano, which they reshape into a massive portal that will summon Unicron to Earth.
Having found some common ground between their two races, Optimus Prime and Noah agree to work together; while the Autobot-Maximal alliance battle Unicron's minions, Noah and Elena attempt to sneak into the Terrorcon base and deactivate the [[Unspace|transwarp]] device with a manual shutdown code based on Elena's studies of the Maximal language. Mirage attempts to distract Scourge so that the humans can complete their mission, but the Terrorcon leader gravely injures him; with the last of his strength, Mirage reshapes his body into an [[exosuit]] for Noah. As Unicron begins pushing his way through the portal to Earth and sending down an army of [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Scorponok (ROTB)|Scorponoks]] as reinforcements, the energy pulses released by the key ignite the nearby energon deposits and restore Bumblebee to life. As Bumblebee joins the fight, Optimus Prime gains the upper hand and finally kills Scourge, but not before the Terrorcon damages the console and leaves the heroes unable to close the portal. With no other options, Prime destroys the key and triggers a devastating implosion, but Noah and Primal successfully rescue the Autobot leader from falling into the collapsing vortex.

In the aftermath, the surviving Maximals remain in Peru, while the Autobots return to America. Elena is recognized for her archeological discovery, while Noah applies for another security job—but discovers that the job opportunity is actually a front for a clandestine government organization codenamed "[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]," who promise to cover his brother's treatment going forward.

Some time later, Noah has used spare Porsche parts to cobble together a new body for Mirage, and reveals his existence to a bewildered Reek.

==Quotes==
"There’s a legend that precedes the dawn of our civilization: a vile god so large, so powerful, that it consumes entire planets as fuel. Few believed such a thing could be true, until the day we saw Unicron with our own eyes…"
:—'''Optimus Primal's''' opening narration.

"I'll hold him off, buy you some time." 
"Then I'm staying with you." 
"This is my fight. Listen, if Unicron were to get the key, he could open a portal through [[Transwarp Drive|time and space]], with no end to the worlds he could destroy. It is now your time to lead the [[Maximal|Maximals]]... Optimus Primal."
:—'''Apelinq''' passing the torch to '''Optimus Primal'''.

"So you're this planet's... ''great'' warrior. You have such a beautiful world, filled with an abundance of life. Savory."
:—'''Scourge''' waxes poetic to Apelinq.

"Benefits, to serving the almighty Unicron."
:—'''Scourge''' taking Apelinq's insignia and placing it on himself [[Lockdown (Animated)|as a trophy]].

"Okay, what are the rules?" 
"Bros before hoes." 
''[Noah glares at Kris]'' 
''(sigh)'' "Don't be a problem. Don't go looking for a problem—" 
"Or else we're gonna have a problem."
:—'''Noah''' and '''Kris''' clarify the rules.

"I ain't breaking into a museum for some space robots." 
"But what about for friendship?" 
''[Noah stares at Mirage incredulously]'' 
"Then what about for cash?"
:—'''Noah''' wants out. '''Mirage''' wants him in.

''"You can't handle the truth!"'' 
"I do not want you going to that drive-in theater anymore."
:— '''Bumblebee's''' references grate on '''Optimus Prime'''.

"Stop following me!" 
"I'm not following you, I'm just escaping in the same direction!"
:—'''Elena''' and '''Noah''' run from the pursuing Freezers.

"And you call yourself a Prime...Primus would be ''ashamed.''"
:—'''Scourge''' isn't too impressed with Optimus Prime.

"I'm going to take back Scourge's key, and then...''take off his head.''"
:—The origins of '''Optimus Prime's''' "GIVE ME YOUR FACE" phase.

"I love your fire, Prime, but you're going to die on this speck of dust." 
"I can think of no better place to bury you!"
:—'''Scourge''' has gotten on '''Optimus Prime's''' last nerve

"I am sorry, Noah." 
"You were looking out for your own. I can't even be angry at you for that." 
"On my homeworld, we believe that the battle with darkness will continue [['Til all are one|'til all are one]]. I lost sight of that. You fought for yours as I fought for mine, when we should've been fighting the darkness together." 
"But I ain't done fighting yet."
:—'''Optimus Prime''' and '''Noah''' have a moment as Unicron approaches.

"''I have come here to kick ass!''"
:—'''Bumblebee''' announces his return with a clear message.

"Time to show you the real power of a Prime!"
:—'''Optimus Prime''' lays the smackdown on Scourge. An ass kicker cometh.

"Don't, Prime. I can give you everything you want." 
"Then DIE!"
:—'''Unicron's''' temptation falls flat in '''Optimus Prime's''' face.

"I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. We have lost the Transwarp Key, and with it, our ability to go home. But we have gained an ally in our battle against the forces of evil. Forces too powerful for any of us to defeat on our own, but together, we might just have a chance."
:—'''Optimus Prime's''' closing narration. We missed them.

"I am Noah Diaz. What is there to know about me? I was raised out in Brooklyn. I got a little bro who calls me Sonic, and if I gotta help save the universe in order to help save the people I love, well then that's what I'm gonna do."
:—'''Noah''' does his own closing narration.

==Continuity notes==
''Rise of the Beasts'' is a direct sequel to 2018's ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' film, taking place seven years after its events, in 1994. The plot of the film has little impact on this one, beyond it being established that the Autobots have been stranded on Earth since arriving at its end. While waiting for Noah to infiltrate the museum, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee have a conversation that alludes to Bee's time with [[Charlie Watson]].

More notably, ''Rise of the Beasts'' serves to continue the heated debate among fans over whether or not the ''Transformers'' live-action film series has been rebooted, following reshoots to ''Bumblebee'' which served to distance it from prior continuity as directed by [[Michael Bay]]. Promotion for the film has delivered a lot of fuzzy statements and mixed messaging; it appears to be the perspective of director Steven Caple Jr. that it ''is'' a reboot of some description,<ref>{{citesocial|quote=I feel like we have a lot to unravel, because this feels like a true reboot if you will, into the ''Transformers'' franchise, so we're about to see a lot more beyond the Decepticons moving forward.|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPr_LLZx2HY&t=354s|site=Black Girl Nerds|title=Steven Caple Jr and Anthony Ramos on Rivalry and War in 'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts'|year=2022|month=12|day=01}}</ref> but observes that they are preserving many elements of the films that have gone before.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=It's a reboot for sure. The Bayverse... you can still watch the Bayverse and be on your own verse, so to speak. With us, we're definitely like, we want this to work, you know? We want people to... it's a refresher, so we can call reboot in terms of like, where we were starting. But yeah so definitely a new direction for sure. There's some things you could probably connect to it, clearly Bee is like a huge connection to all the movies, you know what I mean? In terms of his car, his design, a Camaro, and things like that, but... it's a very small one, in terms of the big ideas that we have. And so you guys will see definitely where we're going at the end of this film, which is crazy.|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MfMFxvT_-Q&t=2452s|name=Steven Caple Jr.|site=The Alfonso Nation|title="BAYVERSE vs REBOOT" & Wheeljacks Design | ROTB DIRECTOR STEVEN CAPLE JR Interview!|year=2023|month=05|day=27}}</ref> Meanwhile, longtime producer [[Lorenzo di Bonaventura]] has repeatedly denied that it is a reboot, stating that the film shows how Optimus Prime grows to become the character seen in the Bay films,<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Hey you know if you look at it from a timeline point of view, it follows ''Bumblebee''... but it is a prequel, in that it's before all the previous movies. So it sort of exists in its own way. What I don't think it is, is a reboot, because it's still our characters. One of the things that Steven brought to the table right from the beginning, which was so great, was the idea that when we meet Optimus Prime, he's different than what we think of him, and we're watching him grow up—if you would—as a leader. And for me that was one of the most exciting parts of the movie, and what was interesting was watching it with audiences, and at first they were uncomfortable a little bit, like, "wait, that's not exactly the Optimus... he should like humans!" You know? So I think it gives the movie a really interesting point of view, and that therefore it stands alone in that way.|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h11sKGYcq9k&t=871s|name=Lorenzo di Bonaventura|site=a panel at the premiere of ''Rise of the Beasts''|year=2023|month=05|day=26}}</ref><ref>{{citesocial|quote=But what's interesting is, and you will appreciate this as a fan, at the end of ''Bumblebee'', Optimus comes to Earth. What he's experienced is failure, probably for the first time in his life, right? He's had to retreat, he's leaving the planet Cybertron. What's happened to him from that experience? When we meet him in 2007, he's a particular person, if you would. In 1994, he's not the same person. He still has growth to do between ‘94 and 2007. So the character arc for Optimus in this, and the fun for the audience is, when you first meet Optimus – and we've had this experience because we've watched it with audiences and we've heard them talk about it – they're like, “It's definitely Optimus, but there's something a little different…” At first, they're like, “Wait, what, who… what Optimus is this?” And by the end of the movie, Optimus has become the guy that you've recognized from the Bay movies. Emotional.|link=https://collider.com/transformers-rise-of-the-beasts-michael-bay-movies-producer-comments/|name=Lorenzo di Bonaventura|site=Collider|title='Transformers: Rise of the Beasts' Producer on How It Differs From Michael Bay's Movies|year=2023|month=05|day=24}}</ref> and many reviews of and articles about the film have casually referred to it as a prequel. Some web outlets would even run articles commenting on Paramount's indistinct stance on the movie's (and ''Bumblebee'''s) place in continuity.<ref>[https://www.cbr.com/transformers-7-bumblebee-reboot-mistake "Rise of the Beasts Is Repeating Bumblebee's Worst Mistake" on CBR.com]</ref><ref>[https://movieweb.com/transformers-rise-of-the-beasts-is-a-reboot/ "Why Does Paramount Keep Pretending Rise of the Beasts Is Not a Reboot?" on MovieWeb.com]</ref>

Whichever approach you subscribe to, it's pretty clear the decision to set the film in 1994 was one primarily made to avoid having to directly deal with the timeframe of the Bay movies in any capacity, and tell a new story free of their immediate baggage. For what it's worth, the film takes some steps to preserve the broad continuity of at least the first Bay film; the Transwarp Key's energy is explicitly stated to operate on a frequency that humans cannot perceive, meaning that they literally cannot ''see'' the huge sky-beam or the portal. As such, the film ends with the general population of Earth (beyond secret forces within the US government) still entirely unaware of the Transformers' existence, as was the case when the 2007 film began. As the time-gap between these "prequels" and the first movie narrows, though, it becomes increasingly difficult to imagine them fitting together without a lot of hand-waving away of specific details, unless future movies actually start making active attempts to address this.

In terms of active contradictions to established continuity, ''Rise of the Beasts'' appears to take the same approach as ''Bumblebee'' and ignores the events of the final Bay film, 2017's ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]'', by depicting Unicron as a separate planet, rather than the Earth itself, as he appeared in that film. However, it's probably important to note that the film lightly implies that the Maximals are time-travellers from the future (see "Transformers references" for more details), which would mean that the Unicron who appears in this film is also from the future. Thus it ''could'' be argued that his appearance here doesn't technically contradict ''The Last Knight''—but of course, that would mean he was trying to eat his own past self.

==Transformers references==
*The Maximals are broadly depicted the same as they were in the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon: as a "highly-advanced race" of beast-mode Transformers who use transwarp technology to travel to other planets and interact with their native species, whose travels bring them to ancient Earth. Steven Caple Jr. has noted that earlier drafts of the screenplay explicitly depicted the Maximals as time-travellers from the future, as they were in the cartoon, and while the concept is so toned down for the finished movie that it probably won't even occur to general audiences, several references to the idea are still made on-screen. Transwarp technology is stated to open portals in time as well as space; Airazor states that the Maximals are "from both [the Autobots'] past and future"; and Optimus Primal says that he is named after the "legendary" Optimus Prime, which all combine to suggest that the Maximals originate from the future.
*The idea of the Maximals hailing from a [[Jungle Planet (colony)|jungle planet]] originates in [[IDW Publishing]]'s comic books, which depicted many ''Beast Wars'' characters as the residents of the planet Eukaris. The planet is implied to be one of many colonised by Transformers in ages past using space bridges generated by the Transwarp Key, before the planets became separated and the key "lost." This concept of a great era of Cybertronian expansion that led to the foundation of lost colonies on other planets where Cybertronian life evolved in new and different directions dates back to 2005's [[Transformers: Cybertron (cartoon)|''Cybertron'' cartoon]], and became a recurring element in ''Transformers'' series in the 2010s and beyond after it was incorporated into the lore of the [[Aligned continuity family|Aligned continuity]].
*Unicron's armies being named the "Terrorcons" hearkens back to both 2004's ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' and 2010's ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'', which both featured the power of Unicron being used to create armies of warriors known as Terrorcons. In particular, the corrupted Airazor's rusted appearance resembles the ''Prime'' Terrorcons, which were also rusted, dilapidated, shambling bots controlled by the will of another.
*Though not identified by name onscreen, Unicron's army includes multiple duplicates of a robotic scorpion identified by the movie's toyline as "Predacon Scorponok." The idea of "Scorponok" being a mass-produced "species" of robots has recently been seen in the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron'' cartoon]], where both [[Scorponok (G1)|Generation 1 Scorponok]] ''and'' [[Scorponok (BW)|''Beast Wars'' Scorponok]] were treated this way.
*The Maximals vow to keep the Transwarp Key hidden and safeguard life "no matter the cost," evoking Optimus Prime's iconic line from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'': "Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost."
*Optimus Prime's design features alterations from his earlier ''Bumblebee'' appearance that are influenced by his appearance in the first three Bay films; he has silver hands, feet, sun visors, angled chest windows, retractable orange [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon swords]], a handheld orange [[Energon-axe]] (which transforms out of his arm, coincidentally similar to the [[Optimus Prime (ES)|''Earthspark'' version]]), and a mask-less face sporting similar details. Arcee also transforms into a {{w|Ducati}} motorcycle, like her ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' character.
*Scourge combines aspects of his [[Scourge (G1)|Generation 1]], [[Scourge (RID)|''Robots in Disguise'']] and [[Scourge (Cybertron)|''Cybertron'']] namesakes; he's a herald of Unicron like G1 Scourge, transforms into a black Optimus Prime-like truck like ''RID'' Scourge and hails from a colony world like ''Cybertron'' Scourge. The various insignia he wears as trophies include the symbols of the [[Decepticon]]s, [[Autobot]]s, [[Maximal]]s, [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s, [[Terrorcon (ROTB)|Terrorcon]]s, [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]] and [[Wreckers]].
*More obscure characters appear such as Apelinq, who originates from a [[Apelinq (BM)#Toys|BotCon 2000 toy]] and tie-in [[3H Productions]] comics, and Stratosphere, returning from the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline.
*When [[Nightbird (ROTB)|Nightbird]] lands at the Museum following the carnage, she makes some [[Starscream (Movie)|very familiar warbling noises]] when she moves.
*The two music tracks used in Unicron's scenes feature segments taken from [[Vince DiCola]]'s "Unicron's Theme" in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.
*Scourge stands and talks to Unicron's face from inside his body, similar to a scene with their characters from the Generation 1 episode, "[[Ghost in the Machine (G1)|Ghost in the Machine]]".
*The symbols Elena studies are Maximal [[Cybertronix]], from the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon. The access code Elena assembles doesn't translate to anything, and simply reads "XQB," but the text on the side of the Transwarp Key (written in a combination of mirrored and upside-down symbols) reads: "He Who Opens The Door."
*The authors of the paper Elena reads about Peru's unexplained glyphs are Asahi Takara and Daniel H. Tomy, a reference to [[TakaraTomy]], Hasbro's longtime business partner in Transformers toys.
*After meeting Optimus Prime for the first time, Noah incorrectly calls him "Optimal". "Optimal Optimus" is the name of the original [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#OptimalOptimus|Optimus Primal's Transmetal 2 body]].
*When proposing different alternate modes to Noah, Mirage briefly turns into an F1 car, a reference to [[Mirage (G1)|his Generation 1 counterpart]]'s alternate mode. He also turns into a Lamborghini Countach, which was just a really cool, sexy car, but also famous in ''Transformers'' lore for being the alternate mode of [[Sideswipe (G1)|Generation 1 Sideswipe]], [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]], and [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]]. He then claims that he can also turn into a Ferrari, the alternate mode of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Dino]], whose name in media outside of that movie was "Mirage".
*Mirage is incredulous over the news that musician [[Mark Wahlberg]] is leaving his band, the Funky Bunch, and going into acting—a good-natured jab at the actor's [[Cade Yeager|leading role]] in the earlier ''Transformers'' movies, ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' and ''The Last Knight''.
*Scourge name-drops [[Primus]] as he taunts Optimus Prime, the first reference to the Transformers' creator god in any of the live-action movies.
*Scourge injures Prime's left flank in the museum battle, which mirrors the injuries [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] gave to the original [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] in ''The Transformers: The Movie.'' Prime even grasps the wound in the same way his predecessor did.
*Airazor explains that Unicron imbues his heralds with a "dark energy," which increases their power, but also has a corrupting effect—almost certainly a reference to [[Dark Energon]], the life-energy of Unicron introduced in the Aligned continuity.
*Unicron psychically tortures Scourge from afar in the same way he did [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] in ''The Transformers: The Movie''.
*When Optimus Primal talks to Optimus Prime about how the Maximals trust the humans, he says there's "[[More than Meets the Eye (disambiguation)|more to them than meets the eye]]".
*Optimus states the Cybertronian belief that "the battle with darkness" will continue: "[['Til all are one]]." This phrase, and the idea of a day prophesied in Cybertron legend when it will come to pass, originates with ''The Transformers: The Movie,'' and is here used to thematically connect with the shared struggle of the Autobots, Maximals, and humans.
*When the heroes are lining up for the final battle, brown fins briefly pop out of the sides of Wheeljack's head, evoking his [[Wheeljack (G1)|Generation 1 design]].
*As the heroes charge towards the Terrorcon army, Optimus Primal commands Rhinox and Cheetor to "Maximize!", which was the Maximal [[activation code]] from the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon.
*Optimus Primal briefly fights with his double bladed scimitar from his [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Beast Wars|original toy]].
*In the final battle, when Unicron sends an army of Freezers to reinforce his minions on Earth, they make their descent in the form of yellow-and-black orbs, which appears to be a nod to Unicron's [[Mini-Con]] from ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'', the yellow-and-black sphere, [[Dead End (Armada)|Dead End]].
*The armored suit Mirage forms over Noah is conceptually an homage to the Generation 1 [[exosuit]]s, while its overall design hews closer to [[Kicker Jones]]' battlesuit from ''[[Transformers: Energon (cartoon)|Energon]]''.
*In a glorious homage to [[Transformers (film)|the 2007 movie]], the musical highlight of [[Steve Jablonsky]]'s "Arrival to Earth" plays as Optimus, Noah, and Primal escape the collapsing transwarp portal's suction.
* Optimus Prime's final speech is set to a remixed version of the track "No Sacrifice, No Victory" from the 2007 movie's score, which was also reprised for the endings of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' and ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]''.
*[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] and Transformers have frequently crossed over in comics and the occasional toyline over the years, though this marks the first time the two have co-existed in a feature film. Notably, the G.I. Joe insignia on Burke's business card is the version introduced in the film ''G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra''.
*When Reek and Noah are repairing Mirage at the end of the film, Reek says "Even Stevens," a possible allusion to [[Shia LaBeouf]], who starred in the [[Sam Witwicky|leading role]] in the first three ''Transformers'' movies and prior to that starred as the main character in the Disney Channel sitcom ''Even Stevens''.

==Real-life references==
*A TV screen briefly shows news coverage of the {{w|Murder trial of O. J. Simpson#Bronco chase|O.J. Simpson white Ford Bronco car chase}}, which places the events of the film near June 17, 1994.
*Throughout the film, Noah and Kris use the codenames "[[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic]]" and "{{w|Tails (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Tails}}" (and in one instance, Mirage is referred to as "{{w|Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles}}"), a nod to the characters from the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (video game)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' videogame series.
*Kris wears a shirt of the ''Mighty Morphin' [[Saban Entertainment|Power Rangers]]'', another property owned by Hasbro. A poster of said series also appears on his wall.
*Kris is heard playing ''Super Mario Bros.'' on his [[Game Boy]]. However, see "Errors".
*Kris attempts to comfort Noah after his unsuccessful interview by relating his struggle to [[Superman|Superman's]] difficulty finding a job before being hired by the {{w|Daily Planet}}.
*When Mirage compliments Noah after the car chase, he quotes the line "I like it a lot" from ''Dumb and Dumber''. However, see "Errors".
*Noah calls Mirage {{w|E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial|E.T.}} for obvious reasons. He also makes a reference to [[Indiana Jones]] when discovering the hidden temple in Peru.
*Bumblebee drops various voice lines from famous real-life films throughout the whole movie, including ''{{w| Die Hard}}'', ''[[Spaceballs]]'', ''{{w| A Few Good Men}}'' and ''{{w| Scarface (1983 film)|Scarface}}.''
*Elena sings the TLC song "{{w|Waterfalls (TLC song)|Waterfalls}}" to herself during the flight to Peru. However, see "Errors".
*When meeting Primal, Elena brings up the {{w|Nazca Lines}}, asking if the Maximals were responsible for creating them. [[Order of the Witwiccans|In this case]], however, Primal takes no credit for human ingenuity.
*Mirage calls Optimus Primal "{{w|Donkey Kong (character)|Donkey Kong}}".
*At the end of the film, Elena appears on the CBS news program ''[[60 Minutes]]''; host [[Lesley Stahl]] makes a cameo appearance as herself during the segment.
*The award on the wall that serves as the hidden switch to access the G.I. Joe base reads "Real Hero Award" with the image of an American flag, referencing the subtitle of the original G.I. Joe cartoon series: "A Real American Hero".

==Errors==
*When Scourge kills Apelinq, he welds his Maximal insignia to his right shoulder, but throughout the rest of the film, Apelinq's insignia is gone. In the same scene, Scourge says "They never learn...", but his mouth is not moving.
*Though the "you died!" music and mention of Bowser imply Kris is playing ''Super Mario Bros.'' on his Game Boy, that game wouldn't see a release on the system until 1999's ''[https://www.mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_Bros._Deluxe Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]'' on the Game Boy Color. The only Mario platformers released for Game Boy by 1994 were the ''Super Mario Land'' games, which featured different antagonists and music.
*When Reek yells down the street as Noah and Kris depart, his dialogue does not match his lips.
*Elena sings "Waterfalls" to calm herself down. Assuming the film takes place in the summer, as implied by the aforementioned coverage of the O.J. Simpson chase, it would still be a few months until the November 1994 release of the album ''CrazySexyCool'', which the song first appeared on.
*Similarly, Mirage quotes a line from ''Dumb and Dumber'', a film that would not release until December 1994.
*When the Autobots arrive at Cuzco, they land at the citadel of [[Sacsayhuamán]], an Inca fortress on the northern outskirts of the city, and the site is deserted. Even on a normal day, it should be crawling with tourists, but the Autobots are specifically said to arrive during the [[Inti Raymi]] festival... whose central activity is a recreation of an Inca ceremony ''at'' Sacsayhuamán.
*The doors that go onto Wheeljack's back are unmarked brown in the scene of him transforming from van mode, but feature text on them in the very next cut where he is in robot mode.
*When Wheeljack audibly gasps at Noah assuming he can speak Spanish, his mouth is not moving.
*When Wheeljack is recovering from being attacked by Rhinox, his mouth is not moving as he says "Ay-ay-ay."
*As the heroes are walking through the jungle, the scene cuts to Elena while she is saying "So, what are you?", which does not match her lips.
*The fight with the brainwashed Airazor takes place at Machu Picchu, which nobody is witness to, as again it is completely deserted. It should be crawling with tourists, the staff that works at the site, the guests and staff of the lodge located right next to the complex, or the population of the town of Aguas Calientes at the base of the mountain.
*When Scourge walks away with the second half of the key, his left arm switches from the claw to the cannon between shots.
*From the time Bumblebee acquires his offroad Camaro, his wheels are inconsistent between his robot and vehicle modes, with some shots showing his normal Camaro's wheels instead of the offroad ones. It is most visible for the wheels on his shoulders.
*Elena audibly whimpering in Bumblebee as he drives through hoards of Freezers does not match her lips.
*The promo for ''60 Minutes'' uses the program's contemporary imaging, including the use of the current CBS News logotype above that of the show.
*A green car that was smashed and thrown in the Museum scene was a B5.5 Volkswagen Passat which would not be released until 2001.

==Music==
A score album, ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (Music from the Motion Picture)]]'', was released alongside the film on June 9, 2023. Paramount also compiled a Spotify Playlist, ''[[Transformers Rise of the Beats]]'', featuring songs that appeared in the film.

==Reception==

===Changes before, during, and after production===
* A Decepticon named [[Transit (ROTB)|Transit]] was a character who was planned to appear early in the film, dispatched from a Decepticon-controlled Cybertron to kill Optimus Prime, before himself being killed by Optimus and dumped into the Hudson River alongside numerous other Decepticons who have tried to do the same in the past few years.

* Multiple changes were made to the film's ending, which originally had a much darker tone like the scrapped opening. Originally, Mirage wasn't planned to survive the final battle, and Optimus would have been sucked into the portal after destroying the Transwarp Key and wind up floating in space before Unicron in the post-credits scene. Reactions by the audience in test screenings convinced Caple to change the ending to something a bit more hopeful, wanting to let the good guys get a solid win.<ref name=AltEnding/>

==Notes==
* In a first for the franchise, the lead human actors, multiple writers, the composer, and the director are all people of color.
* This is the first movie in the series not to be worked on by [[Industrial Light & Magic]]; this time around the CG effects were done by [[Moving Picture Company]] and [[WetaFX]].
* Steven Caple Jr. was initially sceptical of working on a ''Transformers'' movie, which at that point in development was being called ''Bumblebee 2'', because he was uncertain about jumping right into another sequel after directing ''{{w|Creed II}}''—however, the incorporation of elements inspired by ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'', which Caple Jr. had been a fan of, helped sway him. Upon joining the project, he pitched several revisions, drawing from his enthusiasm for ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' by adding [[Unicron]] (and the [[Terrorcon (ROTB)|Terrorcon]]s) and Noah's exosuit, along with a prologue on the [[Maximal]]s' homeworld and a new arc for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] centred around his initial misanthropy.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=The first time that- I did ''Creed 2'', and the first time the studio ever knocked on my door, it was for ''Bumblebee 2''. And I was like, "I don't want to do- I just came out from ''Creed 2'', I don't want to do a sequel..." you know? And so a year had gone by—or maybe two, right before COVID—and they said, "we found out the story we want to tackle: we want to bring in ''Beast Wars''." I was like, "I know all about ''Beast Wars'', I'm down for ''Beast Wars''." And so they developed a script on their own, they passed it to me—2020, October 5th, I remember the date—and I jumped right in and I kind of did my own version of the pitch, I said: "I love where you guys are going, you guys want to do New York, you guys want to do the 90s, you want to do Peru, but here's what I'll do, with the characters..." So I changed up Optimus Prime, I gave him a whole pitch on how I would start him with like, not loving humans at first, and not besiding Noah right off the rip, they're gonna have friction between the two... Gave 'em a pitch for Optimus Primal, where they start off in the top of the movie, and I gave them a new Unicron- I mean a new villain, which was Unicron and the Terrorcon squad. I just felt like, as a fan, we've been tiptoeing around Unicron, and all the other films kind of like hinted towards him towards the end, and I just really want to expand the universe and I felt like he was that perfect source to do so, because he tells us there's another world out there, there's more Transformers out there, it's not just Autobots and Decepticons. And then of course the [[exosuit]], that was my idea, it was homage to the 80s cartoon, so... It was a bit of that, pitched it to 'em and they loved the heart, they love where I was going with the direction of the characters, and yeah, they kind of gave me the key to play!|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxUukVwKLCc|name=Steven Caple Jr.|site=Collider|title=Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Interview: Director Reveals Big Change to Film|year=2023|month=06|day=06}}</ref>
* [[Tobe Nwigwe]]'s character of [[Reek]] was based on a friend of Steven Caple Jr.'s, who passed away before shooting began in 2021.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=The way I got the ''Transformers'' role was insane. [...] One of [Steven Caple Jr.'s] best friends was a fan of the music, and his best friend, right, like, as they was getting ready to start shooting the movie... passed. Passed, yeah. And he had Paramount Studios reach out to me to try to play a specific- the best friend role in ''Transformers''. They kind of emulated who his best friend was in real life. He told Paramount [...] "reach out to Tobe and if he send anything back that's even ''halfway'' decent... I want to use him." But because I had never done no acting ever in my life, I just had this script right here, and just read it like I was acting, and just recorded myself on the iPhone and I was like, "yo there's no way in hell..." [...] I did that, sent that in, and they liked it!|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfAoWTKh3R8&t=2638s|name=Tobe Nwigwe|site=Sway's Universe|year=2023|month=01|day=23}}</ref>

One was on, "Beanie Babies was weird", and he was like, what about Marky Mark leaving the Funky Bunch? And we were just in tears.

* According to Caple Jr., Optimus's unmasked face was modeled after Peter Cullen's.
* As a result of Transit's removal, this is the first live-action film to not feature the Decepticons in any capacity.
* To keep the secret of the ''G.I. Joe'' tease at the end of the movie, most copies of the script and the version of the scene shot for test screenings all used [[Sector Seven]] instead. Michael Kelly also didn't know the big twist with his character until he arrived on set. Caple Jr. even had only a single ''G.I. Joe'' business card printed, on the day of filming, and took it from the set himself afterwards for safekeeping!<ref>{{citesocial|quote=There was one version of the script that mentioned the G.I.

[...] Caple says they shot two versions of Kelly's scene, one where Burke's business card reads Sector 7 and one where the card reads G.I. Joe, so audiences in test screenings wouldn't know the true reveal. There was only one copy of the G.I. Joe business card, and Caple took that himself from set for safe keeping. "I was like, 'I'm taking this. I don't want this to be found on the floor,'" he says. "I actually didn't have them printed out until that day [on set]. We were very cautious of it, man.

When [[Noah Diaz]], a struggling young man trying to provide for his family, is roped into a conflict between the marooned [[Autobot]]s and the recently arrived [[Terrorcon (ROTB)|Terrorcons]], he must learn to work with weary Autobot leader [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] so they, with the help of the wise [[Maximal]]s and the unadventurous researcher [[Elena Wallace]], can stop the arrival of the planet-eater [[Unicron]].

==Synopsis==
[[File:ROTBcap-Unicronringedplanet.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|This is one unusual planet... whatever it is.]]

Somewhere in time and space, the dark god [[Unicron]] and his minions invade a [[Jungle Planet (colony)|jungle world]] populated by [[Maximal]]s. Unicron, seeking a way to cross galaxies, sends his [[Terrorcon (ROTB)|Terrorcon]] herald [[Scourge (ROTB)|Scourge]] to retrieve the [[Transwarp Key]], an advanced device that can open portals in space-time. Although the Maximals attempt to fight back, their leader [[Apelinq (ROTB)|Apelinq]] entrusts [[Optimus Primal (ROTB)|Optimus Primal]] and a small group of Maximals—[[Airazor (ROTB)|Airazor]], [[Cheetor (ROTB)|Cheetor]], and [[Rhinox (ROTB)|Rhinox]]—with the Transwarp Key and orders them to keep the artifact from Unicron. As Primal and his followers use the key to escape their doomed planet and flee to prehistoric [[Earth]], Scourge kills Apelinq after a brief fight and takes his [[insignia]] as a trophy.

Thousands of years later, in the year [[1994]], ex-military electronics expert [[Noah Diaz]] attempts to find a job to support his sick brother [[Kris Diaz|Kris]]. However, after another failed interview, his friend [[Reek]] convinces him to steal an expensive car from a nearby hotel. However, the "car" turns out to be the Autobot [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]] in disguise, who takes the terrified Noah on a joyride through the streets of [[New York City]]. At the same time, a museum on Ellis Island comes into possession of an unusual stone falcon with a Maximal insignia. After closing hours, museum intern [[Elena Wallace]] investigates the statue and accidentally breaks it open to reveal half of the Transwarp Key. The artifact releases an energy pulse that attracts the attention of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and the other Autobots, who have been stranded on Earth since their evacuation of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] seven years prior. Prime summons the nearest Autobots—[[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], and Mirage, who arrives at the meeting spot with Noah in tow. Although Optimus distrusts humans, he believes that they can use the Transwarp Key to return home and liberate their homeworld; eventually, Mirage hatches a scheme to sneak into the museum and have Noah steal the key for them.

[[File:ROTB-ScourgeBumblebee.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66|A treacherous, underhanded sneak attack! I like you, pussycat, yes.]]

Unbeknownst to the Autobots, the accidental activation of the Transwarp Key summons the Terrorcons to Earth. Noah meets Elena inside the museum, but cannot convince her to turn over the relic before the Terrorcons attack; despite Prime's best efforts, Scourge successfully overpowers the Autobot leader, steals the Transwarp Key, and mortally injures Bumblebee before Airazor arrives to help drive the villains away. Airazor explains that the Maximals have been on Earth for millennia, and deliberately split the Transwarp Key in half to prevent Unicron or his followers from using it. The loss of Bumblebee only further galvanizes Optimus's resolve that they must reassemble the key and return home; Noah, fearful of Unicron's arrival, tells Elena that they must destroy the key to protect their own homeworld.

Elena deduces that the other half of the key is located in a hidden temple in [[Peru]], and Prime recruits the airborne Autobot [[Stratosphere]] to take them there. Near the city of [[Cusco]], the Autobot [[Wheeljack (ROTB)|Wheeljack]] guides them to the temple, located beneath a [[Convent of Santo Domingo|local monastery]]. A festival prevents the Autobots from moving through the city inconspicuously; as a result, Noah and Elena must make the journey on foot. The pair discover a hidden mechanism that leads to a hidden temple with a stone sarcophogus but find that the other half of the key is no longer inside it. The Terrorcons attack again, and although the Autobots are able to evade the villains, the conflict ends with Scourge infecting Airazor with a portion of Unicron's dark energy. On the other side of the temple, Noah and Elena encounter Optimus Primal and the other two Maximals, who, after a brief standoff that was defused by Airazor, agree to join forces with the Autobots. Optimus Primal explains that they entrusted the Transwarp Key to a tribe of humans who live near the [[energon]]-rich valley that Primal and his followers inhabit—while Optimus Prime distrusts humanity, Primal has lived among them for millennia, and has come to view them as friends and even allies.

The next morning, however, Scourge's corruption finally overtakes Airazor; in the ensuing battle, Primal is forced to kill her to save Elena. Amidst the chaos, Noah makes an attempt to destroy their half of the Transwarp Key until Optimus convinces him to stand down. However, amidst the chaos, Scourge and the Terrorcons steal the other half of the key and relocate to a nearby volcano, which they reshape into a massive portal that will summon Unicron to Earth.
Having found some common ground between their two races, Optimus Prime and Noah agree to work together; while the Autobot-Maximal alliance battle Unicron's minions, Noah and Elena attempt to sneak into the Terrorcon base and deactivate the [[Unspace|transwarp]] device with a manual shutdown code based on Elena's studies of the Maximal language. Mirage attempts to distract Scourge so that the humans can complete their mission, but the Terrorcon leader gravely injures him; with the last of his strength, Mirage reshapes his body into an [[exosuit]] for Noah. As Unicron begins pushing his way through the portal to Earth and sending down an army of [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Scorponok (ROTB)|Scorponoks]] as reinforcements, the energy pulses released by the key ignite the nearby energon deposits and restore Bumblebee to life. As Bumblebee joins the fight, Optimus Prime gains the upper hand and finally kills Scourge, but not before the Terrorcon damages the console and leaves the heroes unable to close the portal. With no other options, Prime destroys the key and triggers a devastating implosion, but Noah and Primal successfully rescue the Autobot leader from falling into the collapsing vortex.

In the aftermath, the surviving Maximals remain in Peru, while the Autobots return to America. Elena is recognized for her archeological discovery, while Noah applies for another security job—but discovers that the job opportunity is actually a front for a clandestine government organization codenamed "[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]," who promise to cover his brother's treatment going forward.

Some time later, Noah has used spare Porsche parts to cobble together a new body for Mirage, and reveals his existence to a bewildered Reek.

==Quotes==
"There’s a legend that precedes the dawn of our civilization: a vile god so large, so powerful, that it consumes entire planets as fuel. Few believed such a thing could be true, until the day we saw Unicron with our own eyes…"
:—'''Optimus Primal's''' opening narration.

"I'll hold him off, buy you some time." 
"Then I'm staying with you." 
"This is my fight. Listen, if Unicron were to get the key, he could open a portal through [[Transwarp Drive|time and space]], with no end to the worlds he could destroy. It is now your time to lead the [[Maximal|Maximals]]... Optimus Primal."
:—'''Apelinq''' passing the torch to '''Optimus Primal'''.

"So you're this planet's... ''great'' warrior. You have such a beautiful world, filled with an abundance of life. Savory."
:—'''Scourge''' waxes poetic to Apelinq.

"Benefits, to serving the almighty Unicron."
:—'''Scourge''' taking Apelinq's insignia and placing it on himself [[Lockdown (Animated)|as a trophy]].

"Okay, what are the rules?" 
"Bros before hoes." 
''[Noah glares at Kris]'' 
''(sigh)'' "Don't be a problem. Don't go looking for a problem—" 
"Or else we're gonna have a problem."
:—'''Noah''' and '''Kris''' clarify the rules.

"I ain't breaking into a museum for some space robots." 
"But what about for friendship?" 
''[Noah stares at Mirage incredulously]'' 
"Then what about for cash?"
:—'''Noah''' wants out. '''Mirage''' wants him in.

''"You can't handle the truth!"'' 
"I do not want you going to that drive-in theater anymore."
:— '''Bumblebee's''' references grate on '''Optimus Prime'''.

"Stop following me!" 
"I'm not following you, I'm just escaping in the same direction!"
:—'''Elena''' and '''Noah''' run from the pursuing Freezers.

"And you call yourself a Prime...Primus would be ''ashamed.''"
:—'''Scourge''' isn't too impressed with Optimus Prime.

"I'm going to take back Scourge's key, and then...''take off his head.''"
:—The origins of '''Optimus Prime's''' "GIVE ME YOUR FACE" phase.

"I love your fire, Prime, but you're going to die on this speck of dust." 
"I can think of no better place to bury you!"
:—'''Scourge''' has gotten on '''Optimus Prime's''' last nerve

"I am sorry, Noah." 
"You were looking out for your own. I can't even be angry at you for that." 
"On my homeworld, we believe that the battle with darkness will continue [['Til all are one|'til all are one]]. I lost sight of that. You fought for yours as I fought for mine, when we should've been fighting the darkness together." 
"But I ain't done fighting yet."
:—'''Optimus Prime''' and '''Noah''' have a moment as Unicron approaches.

"''I have come here to kick ass!''"
:—'''Bumblebee''' announces his return with a clear message.

"Time to show you the real power of a Prime!"
:—'''Optimus Prime''' lays the smackdown on Scourge. An ass kicker cometh.

"Don't, Prime. I can give you everything you want." 
"Then DIE!"
:—'''Unicron's''' temptation falls flat in '''Optimus Prime's''' face.

"I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. We have lost the Transwarp Key, and with it, our ability to go home. But we have gained an ally in our battle against the forces of evil. Forces too powerful for any of us to defeat on our own, but together, we might just have a chance."
:—'''Optimus Prime's''' closing narration. We missed them.

"I am Noah Diaz. What is there to know about me? I was raised out in Brooklyn. I got a little bro who calls me Sonic, and if I gotta help save the universe in order to help save the people I love, well then that's what I'm gonna do."
:—'''Noah''' does his own closing narration.

==Continuity notes==
''Rise of the Beasts'' is a direct sequel to 2018's ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' film, taking place seven years after its events, in 1994. The plot of the film has little impact on this one, beyond it being established that the Autobots have been stranded on Earth since arriving at its end. While waiting for Noah to infiltrate the museum, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee have a conversation that alludes to Bee's time with [[Charlie Watson]].

More notably, ''Rise of the Beasts'' serves to continue the heated debate among fans over whether or not the ''Transformers'' live-action film series has been rebooted, following reshoots to ''Bumblebee'' which served to distance it from prior continuity as directed by [[Michael Bay]]. Promotion for the film has delivered a lot of fuzzy statements and mixed messaging; it appears to be the perspective of director Steven Caple Jr. that it ''is'' a reboot of some description,<ref>{{citesocial|quote=I feel like we have a lot to unravel, because this feels like a true reboot if you will, into the ''Transformers'' franchise, so we're about to see a lot more beyond the Decepticons moving forward.|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPr_LLZx2HY&t=354s|site=Black Girl Nerds|title=Steven Caple Jr and Anthony Ramos on Rivalry and War in 'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts'|year=2022|month=12|day=01}}</ref> but observes that they are preserving many elements of the films that have gone before.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=It's a reboot for sure. The Bayverse... you can still watch the Bayverse and be on your own verse, so to speak. With us, we're definitely like, we want this to work, you know? We want people to... it's a refresher, so we can call reboot in terms of like, where we were starting. But yeah so definitely a new direction for sure. There's some things you could probably connect to it, clearly Bee is like a huge connection to all the movies, you know what I mean? In terms of his car, his design, a Camaro, and things like that, but... it's a very small one, in terms of the big ideas that we have.

So it sort of exists in its own way. What I don't think it is, is a reboot, because it's still our characters. One of the things that Steven brought to the table right from the beginning, which was so great, was the idea that when we meet Optimus Prime, he's different than what we think of him, and we're watching him grow up—if you would—as a leader. And for me that was one of the most exciting parts of the movie, and what was interesting was watching it with audiences, and at first they were uncomfortable a little bit, like, "wait, that's not exactly the Optimus... he should like humans!" You know? So I think it gives the movie a really interesting point of view, and that therefore it stands alone in that way.|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h11sKGYcq9k&t=871s|name=Lorenzo di Bonaventura|site=a panel at the premiere of ''Rise of the Beasts''|year=2023|month=05|day=26}}</ref><ref>{{citesocial|quote=But what's interesting is, and you will appreciate this as a fan, at the end of ''Bumblebee'', Optimus comes to Earth. What he's experienced is failure, probably for the first time in his life, right? He's had to retreat, he's leaving the planet Cybertron. What's happened to him from that experience? When we meet him in 2007, he's a particular person, if you would. In 1994, he's not the same person. He still has growth to do between ‘94 and 2007. So the character arc for Optimus in this, and the fun for the audience is, when you first meet Optimus – and we've had this experience because we've watched it with audiences and we've heard them talk about it – they're like, “It's definitely Optimus, but there's something a little different…” At first, they're like, “Wait, what, who… what Optimus is this?” And by the end of the movie, Optimus has become the guy that you've recognized from the Bay movies.

Some web outlets would even run articles commenting on Paramount's indistinct stance on the movie's (and ''Bumblebee'''s) place in continuity.<ref>[https://www.cbr.com/transformers-7-bumblebee-reboot-mistake "Rise of the Beasts Is Repeating Bumblebee's Worst Mistake" on CBR.com]</ref><ref>[https://movieweb.com/transformers-rise-of-the-beasts-is-a-reboot/ "Why Does Paramount Keep Pretending Rise of the Beasts Is Not a Reboot?" on MovieWeb.com]</ref>

Whichever approach you subscribe to, it's pretty clear the decision to set the film in 1994 was one primarily made to avoid having to directly deal with the timeframe of the Bay movies in any capacity, and tell a new story free of their immediate baggage. For what it's worth, the film takes some steps to preserve the broad continuity of at least the first Bay film; the Transwarp Key's energy is explicitly stated to operate on a frequency that humans cannot perceive, meaning that they literally cannot ''see'' the huge sky-beam or the portal. As such, the film ends with the general population of Earth (beyond secret forces within the US government) still entirely unaware of the Transformers' existence, as was the case when the 2007 film began. As the time-gap between these "prequels" and the first movie narrows, though, it becomes increasingly difficult to imagine them fitting together without a lot of hand-waving away of specific details, unless future movies actually start making active attempts to address this.

In terms of active contradictions to established continuity, ''Rise of the Beasts'' appears to take the same approach as ''Bumblebee'' and ignores the events of the final Bay film, 2017's ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]'', by depicting Unicron as a separate planet, rather than the Earth itself, as he appeared in that film. However, it's probably important to note that the film lightly implies that the Maximals are time-travellers from the future (see "Transformers references" for more details), which would mean that the Unicron who appears in this film is also from the future. Thus it ''could'' be argued that his appearance here doesn't technically contradict ''The Last Knight''—but of course, that would mean he was trying to eat his own past self.

==Transformers references==
*The Maximals are broadly depicted the same as they were in the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon: as a "highly-advanced race" of beast-mode Transformers who use transwarp technology to travel to other planets and interact with their native species, whose travels bring them to ancient Earth. Steven Caple Jr. has noted that earlier drafts of the screenplay explicitly depicted the Maximals as time-travellers from the future, as they were in the cartoon, and while the concept is so toned down for the finished movie that it probably won't even occur to general audiences, several references to the idea are still made on-screen. Transwarp technology is stated to open portals in time as well as space; Airazor states that the Maximals are "from both [the Autobots'] past and future"; and Optimus Primal says that he is named after the "legendary" Optimus Prime, which all combine to suggest that the Maximals originate from the future.
*The idea of the Maximals hailing from a [[Jungle Planet (colony)|jungle planet]] originates in [[IDW Publishing]]'s comic books, which depicted many ''Beast Wars'' characters as the residents of the planet Eukaris. The planet is implied to be one of many colonised by Transformers in ages past using space bridges generated by the Transwarp Key, before the planets became separated and the key "lost." This concept of a great era of Cybertronian expansion that led to the foundation of lost colonies on other planets where Cybertronian life evolved in new and different directions dates back to 2005's [[Transformers: Cybertron (cartoon)|''Cybertron'' cartoon]], and became a recurring element in ''Transformers'' series in the 2010s and beyond after it was incorporated into the lore of the [[Aligned continuity family|Aligned continuity]].
*Unicron's armies being named the "Terrorcons" hearkens back to both 2004's ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' and 2010's ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'', which both featured the power of Unicron being used to create armies of warriors known as Terrorcons. In particular, the corrupted Airazor's rusted appearance resembles the ''Prime'' Terrorcons, which were also rusted, dilapidated, shambling bots controlled by the will of another.
*Though not identified by name onscreen, Unicron's army includes multiple duplicates of a robotic scorpion identified by the movie's toyline as "Predacon Scorponok." The idea of "Scorponok" being a mass-produced "species" of robots has recently been seen in the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron'' cartoon]], where both [[Scorponok (G1)|Generation 1 Scorponok]] ''and'' [[Scorponok (BW)|''Beast Wars'' Scorponok]] were treated this way.
*The Maximals vow to keep the Transwarp Key hidden and safeguard life "no matter the cost," evoking Optimus Prime's iconic line from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'': "Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost."
*Optimus Prime's design features alterations from his earlier ''Bumblebee'' appearance that are influenced by his appearance in the first three Bay films; he has silver hands, feet, sun visors, angled chest windows, retractable orange [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon swords]], a handheld orange [[Energon-axe]] (which transforms out of his arm, coincidentally similar to the [[Optimus Prime (ES)|''Earthspark'' version]]), and a mask-less face sporting similar details. Arcee also transforms into a {{w|Ducati}} motorcycle, like her ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' character.
*Scourge combines aspects of his [[Scourge (G1)|Generation 1]], [[Scourge (RID)|''Robots in Disguise'']] and [[Scourge (Cybertron)|''Cybertron'']] namesakes; he's a herald of Unicron like G1 Scourge, transforms into a black Optimus Prime-like truck like ''RID'' Scourge and hails from a colony world like ''Cybertron'' Scourge. The various insignia he wears as trophies include the symbols of the [[Decepticon]]s, [[Autobot]]s, [[Maximal]]s, [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s, [[Terrorcon (ROTB)|Terrorcon]]s, [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]] and [[Wreckers]].
*More obscure characters appear such as Apelinq, who originates from a [[Apelinq (BM)#Toys|BotCon 2000 toy]] and tie-in [[3H Productions]] comics, and Stratosphere, returning from the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline.
*When [[Nightbird (ROTB)|Nightbird]] lands at the Museum following the carnage, she makes some [[Starscream (Movie)|very familiar warbling noises]] when she moves.
*The two music tracks used in Unicron's scenes feature segments taken from [[Vince DiCola]]'s "Unicron's Theme" in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.
*Scourge stands and talks to Unicron's face from inside his body, similar to a scene with their characters from the Generation 1 episode, "[[Ghost in the Machine (G1)|Ghost in the Machine]]".
*The symbols Elena studies are Maximal [[Cybertronix]], from the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon. The access code Elena assembles doesn't translate to anything, and simply reads "XQB," but the text on the side of the Transwarp Key (written in a combination of mirrored and upside-down symbols) reads: "He Who Opens The Door."
*The authors of the paper Elena reads about Peru's unexplained glyphs are Asahi Takara and Daniel H. Tomy, a reference to [[TakaraTomy]], Hasbro's longtime business partner in Transformers toys.
*After meeting Optimus Prime for the first time, Noah incorrectly calls him "Optimal". "Optimal Optimus" is the name of the original [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#OptimalOptimus|Optimus Primal's Transmetal 2 body]].
*When proposing different alternate modes to Noah, Mirage briefly turns into an F1 car, a reference to [[Mirage (G1)|his Generation 1 counterpart]]'s alternate mode. He also turns into a Lamborghini Countach, which was just a really cool, sexy car, but also famous in ''Transformers'' lore for being the alternate mode of [[Sideswipe (G1)|Generation 1 Sideswipe]], [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]], and [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]]. He then claims that he can also turn into a Ferrari, the alternate mode of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Dino]], whose name in media outside of that movie was "Mirage".
*Mirage is incredulous over the news that musician [[Mark Wahlberg]] is leaving his band, the Funky Bunch, and going into acting—a good-natured jab at the actor's [[Cade Yeager|leading role]] in the earlier ''Transformers'' movies, ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' and ''The Last Knight''.
*Scourge name-drops [[Primus]] as he taunts Optimus Prime, the first reference to the Transformers' creator god in any of the live-action movies.
*Scourge injures Prime's left flank in the museum battle, which mirrors the injuries [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] gave to the original [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] in ''The Transformers: The Movie.'' Prime even grasps the wound in the same way his predecessor did.
*Airazor explains that Unicron imbues his heralds with a "dark energy," which increases their power, but also has a corrupting effect—almost certainly a reference to [[Dark Energon]], the life-energy of Unicron introduced in the Aligned continuity.
*Unicron psychically tortures Scourge from afar in the same way he did [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] in ''The Transformers: The Movie''.
*When Optimus Primal talks to Optimus Prime about how the Maximals trust the humans, he says there's "[[More than Meets the Eye (disambiguation)|more to them than meets the eye]]".
*Optimus states the Cybertronian belief that "the battle with darkness" will continue: "[['Til all are one]]." This phrase, and the idea of a day prophesied in Cybertron legend when it will come to pass, originates with ''The Transformers: The Movie,'' and is here used to thematically connect with the shared struggle of the Autobots, Maximals, and humans.
*When the heroes are lining up for the final battle, brown fins briefly pop out of the sides of Wheeljack's head, evoking his [[Wheeljack (G1)|Generation 1 design]].
*As the heroes charge towards the Terrorcon army, Optimus Primal commands Rhinox and Cheetor to "Maximize!", which was the Maximal [[activation code]] from the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon.
*Optimus Primal briefly fights with his double bladed scimitar from his [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Beast Wars|original toy]].
*In the final battle, when Unicron sends an army of Freezers to reinforce his minions on Earth, they make their descent in the form of yellow-and-black orbs, which appears to be a nod to Unicron's [[Mini-Con]] from ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'', the yellow-and-black sphere, [[Dead End (Armada)|Dead End]].
*The armored suit Mirage forms over Noah is conceptually an homage to the Generation 1 [[exosuit]]s, while its overall design hews closer to [[Kicker Jones]]' battlesuit from ''[[Transformers: Energon (cartoon)|Energon]]''.
*In a glorious homage to [[Transformers (film)|the 2007 movie]], the musical highlight of [[Steve Jablonsky]]'s "Arrival to Earth" plays as Optimus, Noah, and Primal escape the collapsing transwarp portal's suction.
* Optimus Prime's final speech is set to a remixed version of the track "No Sacrifice, No Victory" from the 2007 movie's score, which was also reprised for the endings of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' and ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]''.
*[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] and Transformers have frequently crossed over in comics and the occasional toyline over the years, though this marks the first time the two have co-existed in a feature film. Notably, the G.I. Joe insignia on Burke's business card is the version introduced in the film ''G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra''.
*When Reek and Noah are repairing Mirage at the end of the film, Reek says "Even Stevens," a possible allusion to [[Shia LaBeouf]], who starred in the [[Sam Witwicky|leading role]] in the first three ''Transformers'' movies and prior to that starred as the main character in the Disney Channel sitcom ''Even Stevens''.

==Real-life references==
*A TV screen briefly shows news coverage of the {{w|Murder trial of O. J. Simpson#Bronco chase|O.J. Simpson white Ford Bronco car chase}}, which places the events of the film near June 17, 1994.
*Throughout the film, Noah and Kris use the codenames "[[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic]]" and "{{w|Tails (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Tails}}" (and in one instance, Mirage is referred to as "{{w|Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles}}"), a nod to the characters from the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (video game)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' videogame series.
*Kris wears a shirt of the ''Mighty Morphin' [[Saban Entertainment|Power Rangers]]'', another property owned by Hasbro. A poster of said series also appears on his wall.
*Kris is heard playing ''Super Mario Bros.'' on his [[Game Boy]]. However, see "Errors".
*Kris attempts to comfort Noah after his unsuccessful interview by relating his struggle to [[Superman|Superman's]] difficulty finding a job before being hired by the {{w|Daily Planet}}.
*When Mirage compliments Noah after the car chase, he quotes the line "I like it a lot" from ''Dumb and Dumber''. However, see "Errors".
*Noah calls Mirage {{w|E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial|E.T.}} for obvious reasons. He also makes a reference to [[Indiana Jones]] when discovering the hidden temple in Peru.
*Bumblebee drops various voice lines from famous real-life films throughout the whole movie, including ''{{w| Die Hard}}'', ''[[Spaceballs]]'', ''{{w| A Few Good Men}}'' and ''{{w| Scarface (1983 film)|Scarface}}.''
*Elena sings the TLC song "{{w|Waterfalls (TLC song)|Waterfalls}}" to herself during the flight to Peru. However, see "Errors".
*When meeting Primal, Elena brings up the {{w|Nazca Lines}}, asking if the Maximals were responsible for creating them. [[Order of the Witwiccans|In this case]], however, Primal takes no credit for human ingenuity.
*Mirage calls Optimus Primal "{{w|Donkey Kong (character)|Donkey Kong}}".
*At the end of the film, Elena appears on the CBS news program ''[[60 Minutes]]''; host [[Lesley Stahl]] makes a cameo appearance as herself during the segment.
*The award on the wall that serves as the hidden switch to access the G.I. Joe base reads "Real Hero Award" with the image of an American flag, referencing the subtitle of the original G.I. Joe cartoon series: "A Real American Hero".

==Errors==
*When Scourge kills Apelinq, he welds his Maximal insignia to his right shoulder, but throughout the rest of the film, Apelinq's insignia is gone. In the same scene, Scourge says "They never learn...", but his mouth is not moving.
*Though the "you died!" music and mention of Bowser imply Kris is playing ''Super Mario Bros.'' on his Game Boy, that game wouldn't see a release on the system until 1999's ''[https://www.mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_Bros._Deluxe Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]'' on the Game Boy Color. The only Mario platformers released for Game Boy by 1994 were the ''Super Mario Land'' games, which featured different antagonists and music.
*When Reek yells down the street as Noah and Kris depart, his dialogue does not match his lips.
*Elena sings "Waterfalls" to calm herself down. Assuming the film takes place in the summer, as implied by the aforementioned coverage of the O.J. Simpson chase, it would still be a few months until the November 1994 release of the album ''CrazySexyCool'', which the song first appeared on.
*Similarly, Mirage quotes a line from ''Dumb and Dumber'', a film that would not release until December 1994.
*When the Autobots arrive at Cuzco, they land at the citadel of [[Sacsayhuamán]], an Inca fortress on the northern outskirts of the city, and the site is deserted. Even on a normal day, it should be crawling with tourists, but the Autobots are specifically said to arrive during the [[Inti Raymi]] festival... whose central activity is a recreation of an Inca ceremony ''at'' Sacsayhuamán.
*The doors that go onto Wheeljack's back are unmarked brown in the scene of him transforming from van mode, but feature text on them in the very next cut where he is in robot mode.
*When Wheeljack audibly gasps at Noah assuming he can speak Spanish, his mouth is not moving.
*When Wheeljack is recovering from being attacked by Rhinox, his mouth is not moving as he says "Ay-ay-ay."
*As the heroes are walking through the jungle, the scene cuts to Elena while she is saying "So, what are you?", which does not match her lips.
*The fight with the brainwashed Airazor takes place at Machu Picchu, which nobody is witness to, as again it is completely deserted. It should be crawling with tourists, the staff that works at the site, the guests and staff of the lodge located right next to the complex, or the population of the town of Aguas Calientes at the base of the mountain.
*When Scourge walks away with the second half of the key, his left arm switches from the claw to the cannon between shots.
*From the time Bumblebee acquires his offroad Camaro, his wheels are inconsistent between his robot and vehicle modes, with some shots showing his normal Camaro's wheels instead of the offroad ones. It is most visible for the wheels on his shoulders.
*Elena audibly whimpering in Bumblebee as he drives through hoards of Freezers does not match her lips.
*The promo for ''60 Minutes'' uses the program's contemporary imaging, including the use of the current CBS News logotype above that of the show.
*A green car that was smashed and thrown in the Museum scene was a B5.5 Volkswagen Passat which would not be released until 2001.

==Music==
A score album, ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (Music from the Motion Picture)]]'', was released alongside the film on June 9, 2023. Paramount also compiled a Spotify Playlist, ''[[Transformers Rise of the Beats]]'', featuring songs that appeared in the film.

===Changes before, during, and after production===
* A Decepticon named [[Transit (ROTB)|Transit]] was a character who was planned to appear early in the film, dispatched from a Decepticon-controlled Cybertron to kill Optimus Prime, before himself being killed by Optimus and dumped into the Hudson River alongside numerous other Decepticons who have tried to do the same in the past few years. [[Steven Caple Jr.]] has indicated that the visual effects for much of the sequence were completed prior to its removal—a result of test audiences finding it too dark—and that he intends to release it as a deleted scene via the film's home media release or otherwise.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=One was this Decepticon scene, Transit, that I've been talking about, because Optimus Prime fights Transit at the beginning of the movie—or at least he ''used'' to—and you find out that Optimus Prime wants to go home. That's all he wants to do, and Cybertron's in deep trouble, and this guy Transit was telling him that "we're just here to kill you", AKA "Cybertron's already ours." And it was a really epic fight scene, and then you saw Optimus Prime dump his body in the Hudson River, and all these Decepticons are dead, and you see he's been hunting for the last few years.|link=https://twitter.com/colliderfrosty/status/1666216854996791298|name=Steven Caple Jr. in a Collider interview|site=Twitter|year=2023|month=6|day=6|(defunct=)}}</ref> The entertainment press reported that Transit was voiced by [[John DiMaggio]] for his removed appearance in the film.<ref>[https://ew.com/movies/transformers-rise-of-the-beasts-everything-we-know/ "Everything we know about Transformers: Rise of the Beasts"] on Entertainment Weekly</ref> Despite not appearing in the final film, DiMaggio is still credited as Transit.
* Earlier drafts of the film more directly referenced the events of ''Bumblebee'', including a scene where Bumblebee shows Prime a photo he carries of himself and [[Charlie Watson]] to try and emphasize his belief that humans are good.<ref name=AltEnding>[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/transformers-rise-of-the-beasts-ending-1235512382/ ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ Director Steven Caple Jr. Talks That Ending, Hailee Steinfeld and Test Screening Changes — The Hollywood Reporter]</ref>
* Multiple changes were made to the film's ending, which originally had a much darker tone like the scrapped opening. Originally, Mirage wasn't planned to survive the final battle, and Optimus would have been sucked into the portal after destroying the Transwarp Key and wind up floating in space before Unicron in the post-credits scene. Reactions by the audience in test screenings convinced Caple to change the ending to something a bit more hopeful, wanting to let the good guys get a solid win.<ref name=AltEnding/>

==Notes==
* In a first for the franchise, the lead human actors, multiple writers, the composer, and the director are all people of color.
* This is the first movie in the series not to be worked on by [[Industrial Light & Magic]]; this time around the CG effects were done by [[Moving Picture Company]] and [[WetaFX]].
* Steven Caple Jr. was initially sceptical of working on a ''Transformers'' movie, which at that point in development was being called ''Bumblebee 2'', because he was uncertain about jumping right into another sequel after directing ''{{w|Creed II}}''—however, the incorporation of elements inspired by ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'', which Caple Jr. had been a fan of, helped sway him. Upon joining the project, he pitched several revisions, drawing from his enthusiasm for ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' by adding [[Unicron]] (and the [[Terrorcon (ROTB)|Terrorcon]]s) and Noah's exosuit, along with a prologue on the [[Maximal]]s' homeworld and a new arc for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] centred around his initial misanthropy.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=The first time that- I did ''Creed 2'', and the first time the studio ever knocked on my door, it was for ''Bumblebee 2''. And I was like, "I don't want to do- I just came out from ''Creed 2'', I don't want to do a sequel..." you know? And so a year had gone by—or maybe two, right before COVID—and they said, "we found out the story we want to tackle: we want to bring in ''Beast Wars''." I was like, "I know all about ''Beast Wars'', I'm down for ''Beast Wars''." And so they developed a script on their own, they passed it to me—2020, October 5th, I remember the date—and I jumped right in and I kind of did my own version of the pitch, I said: "I love where you guys are going, you guys want to do New York, you guys want to do the 90s, you want to do Peru, but here's what I'll do, with the characters..." So I changed up Optimus Prime, I gave him a whole pitch on how I would start him with like, not loving humans at first, and not besiding Noah right off the rip, they're gonna have friction between the two... Gave 'em a pitch for Optimus Primal, where they start off in the top of the movie, and I gave them a new Unicron- I mean a new villain, which was Unicron and the Terrorcon squad. I just felt like, as a fan, we've been tiptoeing around Unicron, and all the other films kind of like hinted towards him towards the end, and I just really want to expand the universe and I felt like he was that perfect source to do so, because he tells us there's another world out there, there's more Transformers out there, it's not just Autobots and Decepticons. And then of course the [[exosuit]], that was my idea, it was homage to the 80s cartoon, so... It was a bit of that, pitched it to 'em and they loved the heart, they love where I was going with the direction of the characters, and yeah, they kind of gave me the key to play!|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxUukVwKLCc|name=Steven Caple Jr.|site=Collider|title=Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Interview: Director Reveals Big Change to Film|year=2023|month=06|day=06}}</ref>
* [[Tobe Nwigwe]]'s character of [[Reek]] was based on a friend of Steven Caple Jr.'s, who passed away before shooting began in 2021.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=The way I got the ''Transformers'' role was insane. [...] One of [Steven Caple Jr.'s] best friends was a fan of the music, and his best friend, right, like, as they was getting ready to start shooting the movie... passed. Passed, yeah. And he had Paramount Studios reach out to me to try to play a specific- the best friend role in ''Transformers''. They kind of emulated who his best friend was in real life. He told Paramount [...] "reach out to Tobe and if he send anything back that's even ''halfway'' decent... I want to use him." But because I had never done no acting ever in my life, I just had this script right here, and just read it like I was acting, and just recorded myself on the iPhone and I was like, "yo there's no way in hell..." [...] I did that, sent that in, and they liked it!|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfAoWTKh3R8&t=2638s|name=Tobe Nwigwe|site=Sway's Universe|year=2023|month=01|day=23}}</ref>
*The fourth-wall-breaking [[Mark Wahlberg]] namedrop was ad-libbed by [[Pete Davidson]].<ref>{{citesocial|quote=We wanted to break the fourth wall. In all fairness, Pete Davidson made that up in the booth, and we laughed so hard, we're like in tears, and we're like there's no way we could not use this. We had ad-libbed a whole bunch of stuff. One was on, "Beanie Babies was weird", and he was like, what about Marky Mark leaving the Funky Bunch? And we were just in tears. And then we showed the studio and everybody loved it and was like, "let's just break the fourth wall.

* During an interview with a fan, voice actor David Sobolov revealed that Caple Jr. would create storyboards using Transformers toys. Awesome!<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdsfclO5etE&t=1106 "ROTB UNICRON IS THRILLING!" | Interview with DAVID SOBOLOV (Rhinox + Battletrap)! - YouTube]</ref>
* According to Caple Jr., Optimus's unmasked face was modeled after Peter Cullen's.
* As a result of Transit's removal, this is the first live-action film to not feature the Decepticons in any capacity.
* To keep the secret of the ''G.I. Joe'' tease at the end of the movie, most copies of the script and the version of the scene shot for test screenings all used [[Sector Seven]] instead. Michael Kelly also didn't know the big twist with his character until he arrived on set. Caple Jr. even had only a single ''G.I. Joe'' business card printed, on the day of filming, and took it from the set himself afterwards for safekeeping!<ref>{{citesocial|quote=There was one version of the script that mentioned the G.I. Joe reveal. All other copies, including the one in the studio's possession, described the military organization as Sector 7. "That way no one could leak the script," Caple notes. [...] Caple says they shot two versions of Kelly's scene, one where Burke's business card reads Sector 7 and one where the card reads G.I. Joe, so audiences in test screenings wouldn't know the true reveal. There was only one copy of the G.I. Joe business card, and Caple took that himself from set for safe keeping. "I was like, 'I'm taking this. I don't want this to be found on the floor,'" he says. "I actually didn't have them printed out until that day [on set]. We were very cautious of it, man. We were really trying to be as secretive as possible."|link=https://ew.com/movies/transformers-g-i-joe-crossover-plans/|name=Nick Romano|site=Entertainment Weekly|title=Inside the top-secret plans for Transformers and G.I.

*This is the first live-action Transformers movie where the Japanese dub wasn't sound directed by [[Keiichirō Miyoshi]] but instead it is directed by [[Yoshikazu Iwanami]] who had been responsible for the original Beast Wars cartoons dubs localization.

'''Scavenger''' is an evil, evil [[Transmetal]] Predacon. Despite previous reports of him being their infantry commander,<ref>Scavenger's original [[Tech Spec]] bio</ref> he's actually more interested in psychological warfare. He prefers to use fear to give him a tactical advantage, and nothing makes him feel better about himself than bullying others into being afraid of him. As well as a master blackmailer and a strategist, he's also created viruses to induce hallucinations in his foes.<ref>''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook]]'' #3 profile</ref>

Regardless of what his primary function truly is, he likes to use his drilling third mode to ambush [[Maximal]]s from underground.

Scavenger was one of the [[protoform]]s left behind by the crew of the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' on prehistoric [[Earth]]. He was activated and put in chronal phase by [[Razorbeast]] at [[Magmatron]]'s request. He was sent to dispose of Razorbeast and his small band, but the attack was interrupted by a much larger force of [[Maximal]]s. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 2|The Gathering #2}}

During the battle, Scavenger got his teeth re-organized, courtesy of [[Bonecrusher (BW)|Bonecrusher]]'s fist. After the battle, he presumably regrouped with [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] and the rest of the Predacons. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 4|The Gathering #4}}

He was next seen as part of a large Predacon assault on the Maximals' base-camp. When the [[Pack]] arrived, Scavenger was knocked over by [[Stampy (BW)|Stampy]]. The Maximals and Predacons were then forced to team-up to battle the [[Blentron|Blendtrons]].

: There is a variant of the toy regarding the "SCAVENGER" name [[tampograph]]. On some versions, the name is printed on his right robot-mode thigh (still visible in ant mode). The other version has the name printed on the chromed abdomen shell. It is unknown if one is more rare than the other.

:Early promotional pictures show the figure with an "Inferno" name tampograph on the abdomen. Why the change was made is unknown; while [[Hasbro]] might have wanted to secure the [[trademark]] on "Scavenger", it is possible that since Inferno had a tendency to be a [[shelfwarmer]], Hasbro felt a name change might help avoid that. As it happens, Scavenger was an even worse shelfwarmer.

:Following the original intent, this toy was used as the "Metals" version of [[Inferno (BW)#Metals|Inferno]] for the Japanese ''Beast Wars Metals'' line, with the only change being the removal of the name tampograph. The version included with [[Depth Charge (BW)|Depth Charge]] in Takara's VS two-packs lacks both his Predacon rubsign and name tampograph.

:''Nightbird is a [[Terrorcon (ROTB)|Terrorcon]] from the [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]] portion of the [[Movie continuity family]].''

[[File:Nightbird Render.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Tonight, you will die, with HONOR!!!!!]]

'''Nightbird''' is a sword-wielding Terrorcon, known for her haughty demeanor towards less skilled opponents. She also possesses flight capabilities, via back-mounted rocket thrusters.

{{bigquote|I'm getting really tired of you [[human]]s.|Nightbird|''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]''}}

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

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

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

'''[[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]''' got the Hollywood bad-guy treatment, and therefore got truckloads of toys too!
He also ''became'' a truck later on. Funny, that is.

====Legends Class toys====
[[File:Movie Legends Megatron toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Just what the hell do I turn into?]]
*'''Megatron''' (Legends Class, [[2007]])
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Megatron'''
: Released in the second wave of ''[[Transformers (2007 toyline)|Transformers]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] figures, Megatron transforms into a Cybertronian jet. This figure uses the pre-final head design from concept art and some ancillary media. Due to his transformation scheme, he has a swiveling waist. Despite its simplicity, this figure is far closer to Megatron's actual silhouette in the movie than most of his larger figures.

:The figure is misassembled in the package, with the arms being swapped, putting paint applications and more sculpted detail on the wrong sides of his arms; it is a simple matter to rectify this though as his shoulders are easily popped off and swapped around. It should be noted that the arms & head are molded in softer, rubbery plastic. While they don't harden and break quickly like [[Scorponok (Movie)#Legends Class toys|Legends Class Scorponok's stinger]], the pieces can become loose around the hard plastic ball joints over time. Also, the parts are prone to photodegrading after a decade or so, even when it's new/MISB.

:The figure is slightly mistransformed in the picture to the right, as well as all pictures depicting his vehicle mode below - the wingtips should be rotated 180° downwards, making for a more screen-accurate jet mode.

:The toy was also later released as part of the blind-packed EZ Collection lineup, distributed via TakaraTomy's subsidiary Subarudo.

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Released partway into the second wave of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|''Transformers'']] Voyager Class toys, Megatron transforms into an ice-covered version of his Cybertronian jet form, with transparent blue plastic forming large portions of his vehicle mode, such as parts of his wings. This ice design is carried onto his robot mode, with his legs, shoulders and chest having some kind of 'ice' plastic covering them.

:With a significantly different (and simple compared to other figures of the same pricepoint) transformation sequence compared to his earlier Leader class toy, his chest frost lowers and his shoulders raise to robot mode position when you bring his lower body forward thanks to [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] technology. He also has his fusion cannon in its entirety on his left arm which can fire a projectile. His wings feature flip-out "ice blades", and pulling on a tab in the back of his jet mode brings them forward like one giant pincer claw.

:His feet are entirely spring-loaded, which means his foot and the two "rear toes" on each feet automatically close up when his weight is not applied to them. Surprisingly, this helps a lot with the posing, as the feet parts automatically position themselves for the perfect balance.

:The stock photo on the toy's packaging depicts Megatron with the unused head that appeared in some concept art.

*'''Megatron''' ("Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:One of the first figures available in the ''[[Premium Series]]'' (although not explicitly identified on the packaging as such), Voyager Class Megatron was released exclusively at Best Buy on October 16th, 2007 alongside the North American launch of the ''Transformers'' movie DVD. Megatron (now packaged in robot mode, inside a special display box) has been completely redecoed, covering most of his previously grey parts with metallic silver paint and a black paint wash over the top of that. Black and gold highlights are used to offset all of the silver, while the transparent 'ice' parts are clear. These changes essentially make Megatron far more accurate to his movie appearance.

**''Accessories:'' Projectile
{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (deco artist)}}

:A Target exclusive redeco of Voyager Class Megatron in primarily beige and chocolate brown colors with brown paintwashes, this version replaces the ice colored translucent plastic with two shades of translucent orange to replicate a look that resembles Megatron's fiery demise (or atmospheric re-entry). Unlike the previous releases, this version's wings are painted to match the body color, so they give the appearance of molten slag. This version was only available in a two-pack with a mostly unchanged Deluxe Class [[Jazz (Movie)#TargetvsMegatron|Final Battle Jazz]] in reference to their fight on the skyscraper featured in the film.

:As the colors on this Megatron are very similar to the colors on the Screen Battles version of Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]], it can be assumed that those two sets are meant to also represent the climactic final battle at the end of the film.

*'''Megatron''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''MD-07'''
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Released in the second wave of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|''Transformers'']] Leaders, Megatron transforms into a gray Cybertronian jet. Unlike the Voyager Class toy above, this mold does not feature any molded ice details; instead it uses metallic blue paint to represent his frozen form. In robot mode, Megatron's right "[[Rocket Claw]]" disconnects at the wrist to become the spiked end of the extendable "[[Mace (weapon)|chain]] [[whip]]" weapon concealed within his forearm; pressing the black switch on the arm pulls the chain taut for a whipping attack. His arms also link together at the wrists to form a "[[fusion cannon]]," with the pod on his left forearm concealing the weapon's [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing twin barrels, exposed by pulling a switch. His other automorph features include his wings folding up as his vehicle nosecone is moved into place, and his feet unfolding as his knees are straightened. Finally, pressing the button on his waist activates a small friction motor, which moves various torso plates and blades on his back into place, accompanied by a metallic shrieking sound and flashing yellow lights.

: Megatron's instructions summarily fail to actually tell the reader about how his gimmicks work. The whipping-action black switch for his flail is not mentioned; they do not detail how to connect the arms for fusion cannon mode; and the fact that the cannon is on a slider, allowing it to be center-aligned, rather than sitting off to one side, is also omitted.

: There is an error in Megatron's legs, in that his left and right hip joints have been swapped for reasons unknown. Switching them allows for a slightly smoother transformation. In addition to ''that'', both of Megatron's hands have a finger misassembly. Two pieces are molded to have two fingers, while one is obviously supposed to be a thumb–however, this thumb is on the 'outside' of his hands instead of the inside. The prototype on the packaging's stock photos show the correct assembly.

: Possibly a dropped feature [[for safety reasons]], the right hand (partly a projectile tethered to the arm) is designed to launch out of his wrist via a spring-loaded firing mechanism. However, the spring for the launching mechanism was removed, though the firing trigger remains.

: The back of Megatron's box depicts him with the almost-used head from concept art. The panel that conceals his face in jet mode is sculpted to fit the face of that head, so while it still covers up his final head reasonably well, it is not a perfect fit.

: In Japan, starting on [[July 19]]th, buying Megatron from [[AEON|JUSCO]] stores netted customers the [[exclusive]] [[campaign item|promotional freebie]] [[Mini-Con|Micron]] [[Torque Gain]].

*'''Megatron''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)

:Premium Megatron is a redeco of the previously released Leader Class Megatron. The figure is now given far more movie-accurate paint applications of black, gold, & silver. Premium Megatron also features the classic transformation sound when the chest Automorph function is activated. The original "metal shriek" sound is retained when the sound button is pressed in vehicle mode.

:In the promotional photos of the toy, this version was pictured with a new vehicle mode face cover that fit the new head better. However, this retool was apparently dropped before actual production but can still be seen on the box back photography. All manufacturing errors from the first release are still present.

:Unlike some of the early "Premium Series" toys, Premium Leader Megatron was mass-released at a variety of retailers, instead of being an exclusive to any particular store.

**''Japanese ID number:''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

:Fusion Blast Megatron is a simple version of Megatron with dorky-looking proportions in robot mode, and it turns into an even dorkier-looking vehicle mode. The transformation sequence manages to be even more simple and non-involved than the other ''Movie'' Megatron toys by means of an Automorph feature very similar to the early Beast Wars flipchangers. Moving his back section down causes the torso to flip up, hiding the head and positioning the arms skywards. Though the figure requires a little more repositioning and folding, most of the transformation is done with a single step.

:The figure's packaging depicts Megatron with a different head sculpt and silver paint instead of unpainted gray plastic.

*'''Megatron''' (Legends, [[2009]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-02'''

:Megatron transforms from a reasonably accurate version of his movie robot mode to a reasonably accurate version of his tank mode (with a teeny extra Megatron face in his groin, without paint details probably to avoid creepiness). He has ball-jointed shoulders and hips in robot mode, plus elbow and knee joints. His alt mode turret is formed by merging his left and right arms, which is a neat callback to the first movie's fusion cannon, but means the turret can't rotate side to side, only pivot at the barrel.

:Several samples suffer from a disconnected lower left leg, which should be connected to the metal rod inside the upper leg. While the loose appendage cannot be repaired without extensive tooling, the upper leg is tight enough to prevent the leg from falling out during display or careful play. Speaking of legs, this Legends Class Megatron is somewhat prone to falling down with a light breeze of wind. The kibble on his robot mode back doesn't help the balancing at all.

:Megatron also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' EZ Collection sets. And like all first waves, He comes with a flyer advertising the TakaraTomy releases of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline. In Malaysia, this toy is also one of the four Legends Class figures to be released as promotional merchandise for the Petronas Gas Station. He can be obtained starting from the 12th of July along with Optimus Prime, via RM30 ($7.04) worth of gas or RM15 ($3.52) worth of foods and items in the Mesra Shop.

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:The second mainline ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Megatron toy is more slender than the larger Leader-Class Megatron, as it was based (more or less) on the finalized Megatron design, and as such, features a sleeker tank mode, a large lobster-claw like right arm and a normal-sized left arm. Unlike the larger toy, the Voyager's firing missile is located on the left arm, though the end is still sculpted to look like a set of fingers, and he also wears the entire top of the tank as a [[kibble]] backpack instead of having jet turbines like the Leader class toy. For some reason, he's also green.

:He features two [[Mech Alive]] gimmicks. Turning his waist turns internal gears in his chest, while bending his right elbow makes a blade extend in and out of his claw.

:The highlighted box to the far right showcases one alternative to positioning his back kibble; this ultimately leads to a ton of junk protruding out from his back, but also makes his silhouette from the front look cleaner.

:Both Megatron and the accompanying Jet Power Optimus Prime would have come with an issue of the [[Unite for the Universe issue 1|''Unite for the Universe'' comic book]], but due to the cancellation of both figures, the comics were eventually included with the [[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Movie Masterpiece]] releases of Leader class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Bumblebee]]. Of amusement is the fact the comics are essentially showcasing toys that have been canceled.

*'''Megatron''' (Leader Class, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RD-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:The first and largest ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Megatron toy is based on an earlier design for Megatron that differs slightly from the final CG model. This design is more bulky and hunchbacked than the final design, has a right arm with a shoulder pad that doubles as a bladed shield, and also has a very short and wimpy left arm. Like the Voyager Class toy, he also features feet that do not look like the CGI model, which has large two-toed feet formed by the tank treads rather than flat, clawed feet that resemble those of the first movie's design. Leaving the feet retracted creates a more movie-accurate appearance when the legs are viewed from the front (when viewed from the side, Megatron's legs look like stubs).

:The figure transforms into a Cybertronian tank, though it lacks the wings seen in the film and is also less streamlined. In robot mode, Megatron's entire lower right arm is a spring-loaded missile launcher and the tank turret's armour/shroud can be mechanically repositioned to partially cover the cannon, with flip-out sword blade, as seen in the early concept design. Due to the amount of [[gimmick]]ry involved, the right arm has no elbow.

:Pressing the Decepticon symbol-emblazoned button on his chest activates his light, [[Mech Alive]], and voice sound effects ("I am Megatron!"). The Mech Alive mechanics involve shaking his head to and fro while panels in his chest shudder. The European release (sold in the UK and non-English speaking countries) proclaims just simply "Megatron!" with laughter. After a month or two, the American release became available in the UK as well as the Canadian province of Quebec, while English Canada (which usually stocks the American release) somehow got the European version in some areas.

:Interestingly, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|while]] [[Starscream (Movie)/toys|other]] [[Demolishor (ROTF)|figures]] in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' line suffered mold simplifications from budget cuts, Megatron got mold ''additions''. Hasbro's stock pictures depict a vastly different and much smaller shield which lacks the outer claw prongs and has different detailing, and there is no evidence that the flip-down feet had been implemented at all. These late mold changes may have been done to slightly increase the toy's accuracy to his movie depiction and, in the case of the flip-down feet, to make Megatron look like he actually has ''feet'' rather than stubs to walk on.

*'''Shadow Command Megatron''' (Leader Class, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Missile
{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

:Shadow Command Megatron, as the name suggests, is a mostly black redeco of Leader class Megatron, which much resembles the previous Fast Action Battlers ''Night Attack Megatron'' redeco. The figure sports more paint applications than the first release. The voice chip has been changed, instead of saying "I am Megatron!" like the initial release, it says "There is no command but mine!". The blast sound effect has also been changed to a laser sound, and a G1-esque sound effect plays when rotating Megatron's legs during transformation.

:Initial shipments of Shadow Command Megatron have a minor misassembly in his right shoulder that causes the laser sound effect to go off only when his arm is pointing backwards, as opposed to forward. It is fixable, but only after knocking out a pin.

**''Accessories'': Projectile

:Part of the first wave of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Fast Action Battlers]], "Cannon Blast" Megatron is a simplified figure that transforms into a Cybertronian tank. His right arm has a spring-launched missile fired via a switch on the side, as well a soft plastic blade that can be folded out. Twisting the figure's right arm produces a chopping action. Due to the weird design of the feet and weight distribution, Megatron is difficult to stand up unless he is hunched forward.

**''Accessories:'' Fuel tank halves/Double Cannons
{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro), [[Hisao Nishimoto]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Commander Class Megatron is an abbreviated version of his Voyager counterpart, transforming into a single piece fuel tanker. The fuel tank splits in half, forming hand-held double cannons which then can be combined into a large cannon, extremely reminiscent of his fusion cannon in the first movie. The [[C joint]] mounting clip of the fuel tank is on a swivel, allowing the large cannon to be mounted onto the smokestacks and used in vehicle mode. His head is also on a pivot joint, allowing him to look up and down.

:Care must be taken while forming the rear cabin: The instructions tell you to fold the feet panels up after transforming the legs first, but it will cause some slight stress marks on the feet panels/smokestacks' joints. We recommend folding the panels up first while the legs are still separated.

*'''Megatron''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD01'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/[[Fusion Cannon]], tarp/cape
{{toydesigner|[[Tomoya Miyake]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Voyagers, ''MechTech'' Megatron now transforms into a <s>disfigured Mad Max truck</s> officially licensed Mack M915 Line-Haul Replacement Tractor and trailer, although it lacks many of the features in the movie, such as the spikes on the roof and the rope mesh on the hood. The forward half of the trailer-mounted oil tank converts into Megatron's [[MechTech]] Blaster, which in turn converts into a Fusion Cannon when the ladder is pushed in. Like all MechTech Voyager toys, his weapon can lock into this mode by pushing the ladder all the way in and rotating it to the right. Megatron has six MechTech [[5 mm post|5mm post]]/MechTech ports in vehicle mode, including three on his MechTech weapon, two on the steps below the truck cab doors, and a self-covering port (which automatically fills in the hole when a weapon is not inserted) on the roof. Though the truck cab and its "trailer" are a single entity that cannot be separated, Megatron does have an articulation joint between where the trailer and cab connect where the fifth wheel hitch would be, despite being formed from his independently-jointed legs.

:The rubbery tarp over the tanker is a two piece affair, with a detachable 'hood' accessory that slots into a port beside Megatron's neck. This deliberately obscures Megatron's badly mutilated face, a callback to the injuries he received at the climax of ''Revenge of the Fallen''. In [[robot mode]], two more MechTech ports become available on his legs, and two on the truck steps end up on his arms; all other MechTech ports from vehicle mode are still usable. Megatron's fusion cannon can even be mounted on his back, like in the movie, thanks to the truck's cab (and associated MechTech port) winding up on his back. Care should be taken when transforming the shoulders, as the tiny Mack dog hood ornament is prone to being snapped off by the shifting black bumper section. It is also quite difficult to get his chest to tab into his shoulder panels due to his arms getting in the way, and his already short pegs having to tab into very shallow holes.

:Megatron was also sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride, advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, but has no visible changes from his original widespread release.

:The gun from the Evasion Mode Optimus Prime toy, released several years after, is intended to be compatible with this figure-not only is it sculpted to resemble the shotgun Megs used (twice) in the movie, a tab on the handle (not the post that was supposed to be the handle for ''Age of Extinction'' Optimus) allows him to wield it properly by slotting onto a slot on his hand. It even has 5mm posts on its side so that it can mount in movie-accurate fashion on his back!

: The large brick-built Megatron in this ''[[Kre-O]]'' set is based on the live-action film Megatron in his ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' body; the robot can be rebuilt from a robot into what resembles a Mack truck. In truck mode, up to two Kreons can ride in the front of the cab, or be locked up in a cramped prison cell at the back of the cab. The truck also features a functioning [[trailer]] hitch. In robot mode, Megatron features hands with articulated claw fingers (built on top of a pair of ''regular fists''), a shoulder-mounted pressure-launched [[missile]] launcher, as well as a small, rotating, back-mounted prison "box" of sorts.

:Like many other ''Kre-O'' sets, the [[stock photography]] and [[package art]] feature robot construction that differs from the final product, as Megatron's upper arms have several of the extraneous parts, mainly his truck cab doors, added to the construction. Whether this is due to a change in the design or the photographers creative liberty with the figure is left to be seen. The [[sticker]] sheet also features an unused sticker depicting a bolted metal panel with an amusing message ("OPTIMUS PRIME WAS HERE! [[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]]") scrawled on it, although its shape and coloration suggest that it's meant to go on the back wall of the prison cell.

: The only non-Galvatron [[Kreon]] of movie Megatron in the ''[[Kre-O]]'' line, [[Kreon]] Megatron is based on his ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' body, which is odd since it's his ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'' body that shows up in the Ride (and as a photo-opportunity "mascot" character on the park grounds). He was available exclusively in a box set sold at the ''[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]'' gift shop at [[Universal]] Studios theme parks. After several years of only being available at the park proper, the 4-pack was eventually added to Universal's online store.

: In 2015, a new run of the set was produced, this time using the revamped-from-the-head-down 2015-style Kreon bodies (and a logo-plate rather than the older 2x4 logo-brick). Megatron's [[tampograph]]s are slightly sharper, with thinner black outlines, but are otherwise unchanged. This set would later see slight production changes; all of the figures' tampographs have gone back to thicker lines and being a bit sloppier, while Megatron's medium-pearlescent-gray plastics have been lightened considerably.

: In mid-2020, the set was revamped again, now removing Evac and replacing him with the [[N.E.S.T. Sentry]]. This version of the set uses the latter version of the other three characters with the thicker tampograph lines and lighter medium-gray plastic.

''[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]'' Megatron replaces all of the pale brown and most of the light gray plastic with dark metallic olive-green, replaces the remaining gray plastic (including his tarp/cape) with a cooler shade, switches out the black for his wheels with dark brown, and redecoes his translucent red plastic into clear colorless plastic. Among other minor deco changes, he replaces the pale brown paint on his wheels and toolboxes/forearms with tan, features a silver-painted MechTech weapon, tanker, and front bumpers, and has some additional reddish "rust" paint details.

:Part of the second wave of ''Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, Galvatron transforms into a 2012 Freightliner Argosy. Given that it would be impossible to emulate his on-screen transformation, he is a ''complete'' [[Shellformer|shell-former]], with his truck mode folding up solely along his back and calves. As with Evasion Optimus Prime, he has a different paint scheme than seen on his packaging, with fewer paint applications on his body and weapon. His cannon can either be held like a gun or fitted on his hand in a way that appears as if it is coming out of his arm.

:Due to his transformation scheme and design, his thighs are disproportionally short. The ankle hinges that fold his feet up in truck mode also make his lower legs extremely long by about half an inch, adding extra wire-like details that aren't present on his [[character model|CGI model]].

:Galvatron's package is the only packaging in the Age of Extinction toyline thus far that neglects to mention what his alternate mode is called. The only mention of Freightliner being involved with his alternate mode is in the tiny copyright information section of the box.

:The ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' version adds some additional paint applications for a more screen-accurate look, most notably, a darker face with yellowish-red eyes. This mold was later retooled into JD.com exclusive [[JD Red Knight]].

:"Mission to Cybertron" Megatron is a redeco/new head retool of [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Deluxe|''Generations Thrilling 30'' Megatron]] (and also the first Deluxe Class Movie Megatron toy that is not a Fast Action Battler), featuring a new head based on his appearance in the movie, albeit in a ''Generation 1''-ish style. He transforms from robot into Don Figueroa's stealth bomber design from IDW Publishing's ''[[The Transformers (IDW)|The Transformers]]'' ongoing series (which resembles a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit). In robot mode, his wingtips detach to combine and transform into his fusion cannon. The cannon can peg into 5mm ports on his hands and forearms. Many figures were erroneously released with [[Quality control|two left fists]]. The instructions still depict his original mold's head.

:As with most "Mission to Cybertron" figures, Megatron features Cyberglyphics on both sides of the wings/fusion cannon, which translate to his own name. He also comes with a card, with the glyphs being decoded as "ENERGON", while the back features a piece (which includes Megatron) for the 6-part "Mission to Cybertron" poster.

:Released in the second wave of ''Premier Edition'' Voyagers, Megatron transforms from robot to Cybertronian jet. It is armed with a weapon resembling the [http://www.higgins-collection.org/artifacts/1605 Ikakalaka] weapon, and it can be stored on the robot's back which also can end up under the cockpit in jet mode if left place, or may be stored on the jet's top. While the fusion cannon on the right forearm is non-removable, it can be folded up against the back of his arm to replicate his ‘unarmed’ look in the movie. While the figure appears nearly black in promotional images, it's actually a metallic graphite gray with darker gunmetal gray paint applications. As with the other TLK Megatron figure, this one lacks the red facial "scar" from the film, but has red light piping in the eyes, forehead... and neck! The jet mode cockpit is also cast in transparent red. The port on the robot back/jet undercarriage is compatible with most figure flight stands. The jet mode lacks any sort of landing gear. There is a minor variant, in regards to the Decepticon symbol. While the stock photos and vast majority of the release feature the Decepticon symbol as it appears with its movie styling, some copies have been found sporting the traditional Decepticon logo, with the difference being in the eyes.

:Some stock photos depict Megatron's sword handle as being an unpainted red, however the final release and later stock photos have it the same color as the rest of the sword. The stock renders also depict the sword's bladed section and several body details being painted silver.

:The figure saw release in Japan as a Toys"R"Us exclusive. As with most Wave 2 Deluxes and Voyagers, Megatron's release was delayed in some territories, leading to [[Toy scalping|scalping]] on the aftermarket.

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

:Part of the first wave of ''Premier Edition'' Leader Class figures, Megatron changes from Cybertronian jet to robot and back. He includes a large sword-axe which can store on his back in robot mode, and on the top of his jet in his vehicle form. In addition, he also comes with two flame effects which can plug into his turbine exhausts in jet mode or his arm-mounted fusion cannon in robot mode. On the back of his head there is a lever that can be pulled up to rotate a portion of his head, and close in the tusks to form his battle mask. In jet mode, he has an opening cockpit and his nosecone can be opened up to expose the fusion cannon by the push of a button right behind the cockpit. Because this action is spring-loaded and the two halves of the nosecone are made of soft plastic, it does not hold together well.

:Of all the Megatron toys above, this Leader Class figure bears the largest jet mode in the lineup.

:His battle axe was redecoed as a promotional campaign item, which used gold chrome. In 2018, Megatron is released along with either 1) [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#CaliburOP|Calibur Optimus Prime]] as part of the "Optimus Prime VS Megatron" set, or 2) [[Berserker#The Last Knight|Berserker]] and [[Nitro Zeus#The Last Knight|Decepticon Nitro]] as part of the "Decepticon Set". Both sets are exclusive to Takara Tomy Mall.

:''Turbo Change Series'' Megatron is essentially a re-release of the Turbo Changer figure with new packaging. Like most of the wave's Turbo Changers, Megatron is likely to feature a pin on the legs that is used to activate the second Battle Command Optimus Prime toy's gimmicks.

:In 2019, the toy was given away free for the school kids who attended the [https://art.parco.jp/parcomuseum/detail/?id=168 ”The World Of Transformers” Exhibition] held at the Parco Museum in Ikebukuro from March 15th to Monday, April 1st, 2019.

**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[July 28]], 2018
**''Accessories:'' "Forest Fight" backdrop (1st version)
{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:''[[Studio Series]]'' Megatron transforms into a Cybertronian tank and is generally more accurate to his appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen''. It features a flip-out sword for his [[death-lock pincer]] with an articulated thumb sticking out of the side to make up for his lack of a right hand, as well as side turrets for his tank mode. His tank mode is ''mostly'' accurate to the film, however, it does not include its wings. The figure also includes a cardboard backdrop depicting the forest battle in ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

:The lower rear leg panels fall off very easily due to pegs being molded too short. Due to transformation, Megatron is left with a glaringly hollow robot mode if viewed from the sides; this problem can be somewhat rectified by gently forcing the turrets downward.

:While some [[Toy Fair]] [[Toy Fair 2018|2018]] painted samples showed Megatron with a dark, metallic color scheme, the final product features light grey plastic. Likewise, the CG stock render depicts Megatron having brighter & dull gold parts instead of the final product's bronze, and his pair of turrets is depicted as being molded in black, among other minor deco differences, including a Decepticon symbol on his left shoulder that was omitted. The sword on the render is also bent impossibly far upwards, clipping into the rest of his cannon arm.

:Unsurprisingly, the [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/archive/1/16/20180531120445%21StudioSeries-13-MV2-Voyager-Megatron.jpg stock photo] featured on many websites don't have the feet fully transformed (making them look long and flat). As shown in the accurately-transformed figure to the right: his toes have the capability to split in two; the back half of the foot must be folded down for accuracy; and the kibble that forms his face-guard in tank mode helps balance the feet out. Speaking of feet: the small wheel on Megatron's right foot in the CG stock render is molded in the same light gray color, while the other small wheels are molded in the same color as the treads.

:Later issues of this mold have a problem with the left ankle - the pin holding it in place with the shin is inserted too far on the inside. With some figures, this issue severely affects the posability of the left leg. Another as-of-yet unidentified issue in the right leg can also cause the right front treads to lift high off the ground in tank mode, which can be annoying.

:In a rather ''bizarre'' case of parts reuse, several of this figure's parts (notably the arm joints and the hip pieces) were also used for ''Studio Series'' Leader Class [[Shockwave (Movie)#Studio Series|Shockwave]], whereas his chest piece was also used for ''Studio Series'' Voyager Class Megatron in his body from the 2007 film (see below).

:Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', this ''Studio Series'' Megatron is a redeco and retool of the figure above, featuring a metallic shade of plastic with some paint wash details, multiple parts casted in a very dark grey and metallic plastic, and a new damaged head representing his injuries from Optimus Prime at the end of the movie. The figure includes a cardboard backdrop depicting the [[Operation: Firestorm]] desert battle.

:The figure was first stocked by Hong Kong online shops without any prior announcement from Hasbro. In March, the [http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=169340646 figure was listed in Toys"R"Us Canada's online store].

**''Accessories:'' Cloak, chains, shotgun, [[Igor#Studio Series|Igor]] minifigure, "[[Namibia|Serengeti Hideout]]" backdrop

:This ''Studio Series'' Megatron transforms into a licensed Mack M915 Line-Haul Replacement Tractor and is accurate to his appearance in ''Dark of the Moon'', complete with a new cloak accessory and chains. He also comes with a shotgun, a minifigure of [[Igor]], and a cardboard backdrop display depicting the Decepticon camp in [[Namibia]], [[Africa]]. The Igor figure can plug into small pegs behind his head in robot mode or on the truck mode's trailer.

:Megatron's shot gun can store underneath the cab of the truck or on his robot back using a small peg. The shotgun is actually molded in beige plastic and then completely coated with gunmetal and silver paint for increased screen-accuracy. Care should be taken when tabbing in his shotgun to his hand as the hand's rubbery plastic can strip away the gun's paint, especially if left there for prolonged periods of time. While only the right hand is molded to be able to hold it via 5 mm post, a small peg near the handle allows him to wield the shotgun in his left hand by plugging it into a gap on his thumb, though it takes some fiddling with his fingers (which are also molded in soft plastic) to make it look presentable.

:It can be difficult to get enough clearance in truck mode for the cab's rear wheels to roll freely, as the chest pieces hang very low to the ground when in alternate mode. In addition, due to the sheer length of the truck mode and the internal forces from plastic tolerances, it can be difficult to get all ten wheels on the ground at once. The peg that connects the truck frame together in prevents his left calf from sliding completely flush into his leg, but this does not affect posability.

:The rubber chains take a bit of stretching to properly attach. Some orientations are easier to hook on than others, and the order of operations can also make it easier or harder to get all four eyelets hooked in place. As a result of the transformation, the truck cab is noticeably hollow, and cannot pivot at the trailer connection. As the front grills/spikes are molded in soft plastic, the pieces may warp in robot mode, in and out of package.

:Presumably as a result of being accidentally assigned to the wrong toy during the same photo shoot, the Hasbro stock photos of Megatron depict [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]]'s cane as an accessory, rather than Jetfire's own stock photos.

:Planned as a [[Transformers: Universal Studios|Universal Studios]] exclusive, this Megatron is a redeco of the Leader Class figure above, featuring an entirely gray body meant to resemble the Megatron meet and greet in Universal Studios. Unlike the previous ''Studio Series'' Leader Class figure, he does not come with the cloak accessory or the minifigure of Igor. His backdrop depicts the door and queue area where the Megatron performer exits and greets park guests.

:Though we're not ''entirely'' sure whether "As Seen In Parks Megatron" is indeed supposed to be the toy's official name, the "As Seen In Parks" descriptor ''is'' featured in the same location where other ''Studio Series'' toys have their prefixes, such as "[[Stinger (AOE)#Studio Series|Decepticon Stinger]]", "[[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#Studio Series|Autobot Ratchet]]", "[[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS26|WWII Bumblebee]]" or "[[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS27|Clunker Bumblebee]]", plus it's what the official [[Hasbro Pulse]] listing calls the figure, so...

**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[March 28]], [[2020]]
**''Accessories:'' Flail, "Mission City Battle" backdrop
:This Voyager Megatron sculpt is based on his body from the 2007 film, transforming into a Cybertronian jet and drawing some engineering cues from his [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' figure]]. Like his wave-mate [[Soundwave (ROTF)/toys#Studio Series|Soundwave]], he's slathered in metallic silver paint. As such, exercise some caution if you don't want to get them scratched from handling.

:Confusingly, his chest is redecoed from that of his initial ''Revenge of the Fallen'' ''Studio Series'' figure, making it inaccurate to its appearance in the 2007 film. In a bizarre reversal of this, Megatron's CG model render on the front of the packaging depicts his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' head photoshopped onto his 2007 chest and body. As a byproduct of his transformation scheme, his knee joints are placed extremely far back on his legs, resulting in unsightly gaps in some poses. Due to being hinge joints, the heel panels are ''sometimes'' not strong enough to support the weight of the figure.

:Due to it's transformation, the jet mode's fuselage is rather visually compromised, consisting of robot kibble instead of accurate detailing. The jet lacks his distinctive exposed head as well as the top spikes on the ends of his wings, though the latter may be [[for safety reasons]]. As he has no landing gear, the jet rests on Megatron's torso, which may scratch the paint. He does possess a 3mm stand port for jet mode, but unfortunately it is difficult to access.

:This figure's flail, attached using a [[mushroom joint]], differs from those of his previous Leader Class and ''Masterpiece'' toys; it uses a proper spiked head rather than repurposing one of his hands and is connected using two separate chains sculpted from a somewhat flexible material. The flail's chain assembly features a [[5_mm_post|5 mm post]] on each side for storage in jet mode and a special tab that is shaped to fit a slot in either of Megatron's wrists while his hands are folded, though its width also makes it compatible with most 5 mm ports. Unfortunately, he does not come equipped with his fusion cannon.

:Lastly, he comes with backdrop display depicting the Battle of [[Mission City]].

:Like the rest of the Voyager figures in the same wave, Megatron first saw release in Hong Kong independent stores.

:This ''Studio Series'' figure of Galvatron is a Voyager Class figure, transforming into a licensed 2012 Freightliner Argosy. Like the original Voyager Class figure from 2014, he has truck kibble on his robot mode due to the impossible to emulate transformation on-screen; despite this, he comes out looking much cleaner in robot mode compared to his 2014 figure, even managing to replicate the back of his torso grinder and featuring (small) sculpted-in arm blades! Unfortunately, his feet form ''very'' noticeable kibble on his truck mode's trailer hitch as a trade-off.

:He comes with his cannon and a rocket cluster. The cannon is designed to be used in his right hand. In vehicle mode, it can be stored under the truck using a slot in the left foot, but has no robot mode storage (officially). The rockets store in his chest in robot mode and under the cab in truck mode.

:Omitted from the instructions but shown in his Instagram reveal, the rocket cluster can peg into his arms or the sides of his truck mode. Undocumented by either, the cannon sports another tab that also allows it to peg into his arm or the sides of the truck.

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece Movie Series]]'' Megatron is a large (12" tall), complex, mostly screen-accurate mold, and for the first time in ''years'' is based on his appearance in the 2007 film rather than the sequels, transforming into a Cybertronian jet mode in 50 steps. He features [[die-cast]] in his feet and multiple pieces in his back. Both of Megatron's weapon gimmicks are based on his removable hands: he includes a rubber "chain" piece which can connect either hand to its wrist to represent his flail in the film, albeit closer to the [[Rocket Claw]], as the flail end in the film is not his hand. The "Weapon Blaster", as the box calls it, can plug into a single wrist in its smaller "handgun" form, or into both wrists in its extended "[[fusion cannon]]" form. His blaster can also plug into the chain in order to represent the flail head, albeit oversized and lopsided. Although his hands have nowhere else to store when removed, they do ''not'' need to be removed for transformation, and both weapons have dedicated storage in robot and vehicle modes, with the blaster usefully filling out the jet's rear end. He also includes a silver-painted [[AllSpark#Masterpiece Movie Series|AllSpark]] cube containing die-cast, which, under a removable portion of his chest, can fit into his red translucent innards to represent his death at the end of the film. Like several other ''Masterpiece Movie Series'' figures, he has an articulated jaw. His transformation scheme allows his wings to be unfurled in robot mode, representing the brief scene in the movie when he carried Jazz to a rooftop before killing him.

:Megatron was revealed and released alongside MPM-9 [[Jazz (Movie)#Masterpiece Movie Series|Autobot Jazz]], as the two can replicate Jazz's death from the 2007 film.

:Megatron's head is based on a unfinalized model that was often used in previsualization material in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' and ''Dark of the Moon''. This is especially noticable as it lacks Cybertronian text on the back of his head, as well as excessive material around the sides of his head and his crown.<ref>[https://youtu.be/AtU_I4Wdg_c Unfinalized 2007 Megatron CGI model used for animatic clips throughout the first three films.]</ref>

[[File:Movie Legends Megatron toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Just what the hell do I turn into?]]
*'''Megatron''' (Legends Class, [[2007]])
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Megatron'''
: Released in the second wave of ''[[Transformers (2007 toyline)|Transformers]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] figures, Megatron transforms into a Cybertronian jet. This figure uses the pre-final head design from concept art and some ancillary media. Due to his transformation scheme, he has a swiveling waist. Despite its simplicity, this figure is far closer to Megatron's actual silhouette in the movie than most of his larger figures.

:The figure is misassembled in the package, with the arms being swapped, putting paint applications and more sculpted detail on the wrong sides of his arms; it is a simple matter to rectify this though as his shoulders are easily popped off and swapped around. It should be noted that the arms & head are molded in softer, rubbery plastic. While they don't harden and break quickly like [[Scorponok (Movie)#Legends Class toys|Legends Class Scorponok's stinger]], the pieces can become loose around the hard plastic ball joints over time. Also, the parts are prone to photodegrading after a decade or so, even when it's new/MISB.

:The figure is slightly mistransformed in the picture to the right, as well as all pictures depicting his vehicle mode below - the wingtips should be rotated 180° downwards, making for a more screen-accurate jet mode.

:The toy was also later released as part of the blind-packed EZ Collection lineup, distributed via TakaraTomy's subsidiary Subarudo.

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Released partway into the second wave of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|''Transformers'']] Voyager Class toys, Megatron transforms into an ice-covered version of his Cybertronian jet form, with transparent blue plastic forming large portions of his vehicle mode, such as parts of his wings. This ice design is carried onto his robot mode, with his legs, shoulders and chest having some kind of 'ice' plastic covering them.

:With a significantly different (and simple compared to other figures of the same pricepoint) transformation sequence compared to his earlier Leader class toy, his chest frost lowers and his shoulders raise to robot mode position when you bring his lower body forward thanks to [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] technology. He also has his fusion cannon in its entirety on his left arm which can fire a projectile. His wings feature flip-out "ice blades", and pulling on a tab in the back of his jet mode brings them forward like one giant pincer claw.

:His feet are entirely spring-loaded, which means his foot and the two "rear toes" on each feet automatically close up when his weight is not applied to them. Surprisingly, this helps a lot with the posing, as the feet parts automatically position themselves for the perfect balance.

:The stock photo on the toy's packaging depicts Megatron with the unused head that appeared in some concept art.

*'''Megatron''' ("Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:One of the first figures available in the ''[[Premium Series]]'' (although not explicitly identified on the packaging as such), Voyager Class Megatron was released exclusively at Best Buy on October 16th, 2007 alongside the North American launch of the ''Transformers'' movie DVD. Megatron (now packaged in robot mode, inside a special display box) has been completely redecoed, covering most of his previously grey parts with metallic silver paint and a black paint wash over the top of that. Black and gold highlights are used to offset all of the silver, while the transparent 'ice' parts are clear. These changes essentially make Megatron far more accurate to his movie appearance.

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

:A Target exclusive redeco of Voyager Class Megatron in primarily beige and chocolate brown colors with brown paintwashes, this version replaces the ice colored translucent plastic with two shades of translucent orange to replicate a look that resembles Megatron's fiery demise (or atmospheric re-entry). Unlike the previous releases, this version's wings are painted to match the body color, so they give the appearance of molten slag. This version was only available in a two-pack with a mostly unchanged Deluxe Class [[Jazz (Movie)#TargetvsMegatron|Final Battle Jazz]] in reference to their fight on the skyscraper featured in the film.

:As the colors on this Megatron are very similar to the colors on the Screen Battles version of Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]], it can be assumed that those two sets are meant to also represent the climactic final battle at the end of the film.

*'''Megatron''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''MD-07'''
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Released in the second wave of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|''Transformers'']] Leaders, Megatron transforms into a gray Cybertronian jet. Unlike the Voyager Class toy above, this mold does not feature any molded ice details; instead it uses metallic blue paint to represent his frozen form. In robot mode, Megatron's right "[[Rocket Claw]]" disconnects at the wrist to become the spiked end of the extendable "[[Mace (weapon)|chain]] [[whip]]" weapon concealed within his forearm; pressing the black switch on the arm pulls the chain taut for a whipping attack. His arms also link together at the wrists to form a "[[fusion cannon]]," with the pod on his left forearm concealing the weapon's [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing twin barrels, exposed by pulling a switch. His other automorph features include his wings folding up as his vehicle nosecone is moved into place, and his feet unfolding as his knees are straightened. Finally, pressing the button on his waist activates a small friction motor, which moves various torso plates and blades on his back into place, accompanied by a metallic shrieking sound and flashing yellow lights.

: Megatron's instructions summarily fail to actually tell the reader about how his gimmicks work. The whipping-action black switch for his flail is not mentioned; they do not detail how to connect the arms for fusion cannon mode; and the fact that the cannon is on a slider, allowing it to be center-aligned, rather than sitting off to one side, is also omitted.

: There is an error in Megatron's legs, in that his left and right hip joints have been swapped for reasons unknown. Switching them allows for a slightly smoother transformation. In addition to ''that'', both of Megatron's hands have a finger misassembly. Two pieces are molded to have two fingers, while one is obviously supposed to be a thumb–however, this thumb is on the 'outside' of his hands instead of the inside. The prototype on the packaging's stock photos show the correct assembly.

: Possibly a dropped feature [[for safety reasons]], the right hand (partly a projectile tethered to the arm) is designed to launch out of his wrist via a spring-loaded firing mechanism. However, the spring for the launching mechanism was removed, though the firing trigger remains.

: The back of Megatron's box depicts him with the almost-used head from concept art. The panel that conceals his face in jet mode is sculpted to fit the face of that head, so while it still covers up his final head reasonably well, it is not a perfect fit.

: In Japan, starting on [[July 19]]th, buying Megatron from [[AEON|JUSCO]] stores netted customers the [[exclusive]] [[campaign item|promotional freebie]] [[Mini-Con|Micron]] [[Torque Gain]].

*'''Megatron''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)

:Premium Megatron is a redeco of the previously released Leader Class Megatron. The figure is now given far more movie-accurate paint applications of black, gold, & silver. Premium Megatron also features the classic transformation sound when the chest Automorph function is activated. The original "metal shriek" sound is retained when the sound button is pressed in vehicle mode.

:In the promotional photos of the toy, this version was pictured with a new vehicle mode face cover that fit the new head better. However, this retool was apparently dropped before actual production but can still be seen on the box back photography. All manufacturing errors from the first release are still present.

:Unlike some of the early "Premium Series" toys, Premium Leader Megatron was mass-released at a variety of retailers, instead of being an exclusive to any particular store.

:Fusion Blast Megatron is a simple version of Megatron with dorky-looking proportions in robot mode, and it turns into an even dorkier-looking vehicle mode. The transformation sequence manages to be even more simple and non-involved than the other ''Movie'' Megatron toys by means of an Automorph feature very similar to the early Beast Wars flipchangers. Moving his back section down causes the torso to flip up, hiding the head and positioning the arms skywards. Though the figure requires a little more repositioning and folding, most of the transformation is done with a single step.

:The figure's packaging depicts Megatron with a different head sculpt and silver paint instead of unpainted gray plastic.

*'''Megatron''' (Legends, [[2009]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-02'''

:Megatron transforms from a reasonably accurate version of his movie robot mode to a reasonably accurate version of his tank mode (with a teeny extra Megatron face in his groin, without paint details probably to avoid creepiness). He has ball-jointed shoulders and hips in robot mode, plus elbow and knee joints. His alt mode turret is formed by merging his left and right arms, which is a neat callback to the first movie's fusion cannon, but means the turret can't rotate side to side, only pivot at the barrel.

:Several samples suffer from a disconnected lower left leg, which should be connected to the metal rod inside the upper leg. While the loose appendage cannot be repaired without extensive tooling, the upper leg is tight enough to prevent the leg from falling out during display or careful play. Speaking of legs, this Legends Class Megatron is somewhat prone to falling down with a light breeze of wind. The kibble on his robot mode back doesn't help the balancing at all.

:Megatron also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' EZ Collection sets. And like all first waves, He comes with a flyer advertising the TakaraTomy releases of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline. In Malaysia, this toy is also one of the four Legends Class figures to be released as promotional merchandise for the Petronas Gas Station. He can be obtained starting from the 12th of July along with Optimus Prime, via RM30 ($7.04) worth of gas or RM15 ($3.52) worth of foods and items in the Mesra Shop.

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:The second mainline ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Megatron toy is more slender than the larger Leader-Class Megatron, as it was based (more or less) on the finalized Megatron design, and as such, features a sleeker tank mode, a large lobster-claw like right arm and a normal-sized left arm. Unlike the larger toy, the Voyager's firing missile is located on the left arm, though the end is still sculpted to look like a set of fingers, and he also wears the entire top of the tank as a [[kibble]] backpack instead of having jet turbines like the Leader class toy. For some reason, he's also green.

:He features two [[Mech Alive]] gimmicks. Turning his waist turns internal gears in his chest, while bending his right elbow makes a blade extend in and out of his claw.

:The highlighted box to the far right showcases one alternative to positioning his back kibble; this ultimately leads to a ton of junk protruding out from his back, but also makes his silhouette from the front look cleaner.

:Both Megatron and the accompanying Jet Power Optimus Prime would have come with an issue of the [[Unite for the Universe issue 1|''Unite for the Universe'' comic book]], but due to the cancellation of both figures, the comics were eventually included with the [[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Movie Masterpiece]] releases of Leader class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Bumblebee]]. Of amusement is the fact the comics are essentially showcasing toys that have been canceled.

*'''Megatron''' (Leader Class, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RD-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:The first and largest ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Megatron toy is based on an earlier design for Megatron that differs slightly from the final CG model. This design is more bulky and hunchbacked than the final design, has a right arm with a shoulder pad that doubles as a bladed shield, and also has a very short and wimpy left arm. Like the Voyager Class toy, he also features feet that do not look like the CGI model, which has large two-toed feet formed by the tank treads rather than flat, clawed feet that resemble those of the first movie's design. Leaving the feet retracted creates a more movie-accurate appearance when the legs are viewed from the front (when viewed from the side, Megatron's legs look like stubs).

:The figure transforms into a Cybertronian tank, though it lacks the wings seen in the film and is also less streamlined. In robot mode, Megatron's entire lower right arm is a spring-loaded missile launcher and the tank turret's armour/shroud can be mechanically repositioned to partially cover the cannon, with flip-out sword blade, as seen in the early concept design. Due to the amount of [[gimmick]]ry involved, the right arm has no elbow.

:Pressing the Decepticon symbol-emblazoned button on his chest activates his light, [[Mech Alive]], and voice sound effects ("I am Megatron!"). The Mech Alive mechanics involve shaking his head to and fro while panels in his chest shudder. The European release (sold in the UK and non-English speaking countries) proclaims just simply "Megatron!" with laughter. After a month or two, the American release became available in the UK as well as the Canadian province of Quebec, while English Canada (which usually stocks the American release) somehow got the European version in some areas.

:Interestingly, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|while]] [[Starscream (Movie)/toys|other]] [[Demolishor (ROTF)|figures]] in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' line suffered mold simplifications from budget cuts, Megatron got mold ''additions''. Hasbro's stock pictures depict a vastly different and much smaller shield which lacks the outer claw prongs and has different detailing, and there is no evidence that the flip-down feet had been implemented at all. These late mold changes may have been done to slightly increase the toy's accuracy to his movie depiction and, in the case of the flip-down feet, to make Megatron look like he actually has ''feet'' rather than stubs to walk on.

:Shadow Command Megatron, as the name suggests, is a mostly black redeco of Leader class Megatron, which much resembles the previous Fast Action Battlers ''Night Attack Megatron'' redeco. The figure sports more paint applications than the first release. The voice chip has been changed, instead of saying "I am Megatron!" like the initial release, it says "There is no command but mine!". The blast sound effect has also been changed to a laser sound, and a G1-esque sound effect plays when rotating Megatron's legs during transformation.

:Initial shipments of Shadow Command Megatron have a minor misassembly in his right shoulder that causes the laser sound effect to go off only when his arm is pointing backwards, as opposed to forward. It is fixable, but only after knocking out a pin.

:[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Commander Class Megatron is an abbreviated version of his Voyager counterpart, transforming into a single piece fuel tanker.

The [[C joint]] mounting clip of the fuel tank is on a swivel, allowing the large cannon to be mounted onto the smokestacks and used in vehicle mode. His head is also on a pivot joint, allowing him to look up and down.

:Care must be taken while forming the rear cabin: The instructions tell you to fold the feet panels up after transforming the legs first, but it will cause some slight stress marks on the feet panels/smokestacks' joints. We recommend folding the panels up first while the legs are still separated.

*'''Megatron''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD01'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/[[Fusion Cannon]], tarp/cape
{{toydesigner|[[Tomoya Miyake]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Voyagers, ''MechTech'' Megatron now transforms into a <s>disfigured Mad Max truck</s> officially licensed Mack M915 Line-Haul Replacement Tractor and trailer, although it lacks many of the features in the movie, such as the spikes on the roof and the rope mesh on the hood. The forward half of the trailer-mounted oil tank converts into Megatron's [[MechTech]] Blaster, which in turn converts into a Fusion Cannon when the ladder is pushed in. Like all MechTech Voyager toys, his weapon can lock into this mode by pushing the ladder all the way in and rotating it to the right. Megatron has six MechTech [[5 mm post|5mm post]]/MechTech ports in vehicle mode, including three on his MechTech weapon, two on the steps below the truck cab doors, and a self-covering port (which automatically fills in the hole when a weapon is not inserted) on the roof. Though the truck cab and its "trailer" are a single entity that cannot be separated, Megatron does have an articulation joint between where the trailer and cab connect where the fifth wheel hitch would be, despite being formed from his independently-jointed legs.

:The rubbery tarp over the tanker is a two piece affair, with a detachable 'hood' accessory that slots into a port beside Megatron's neck. This deliberately obscures Megatron's badly mutilated face, a callback to the injuries he received at the climax of ''Revenge of the Fallen''. In [[robot mode]], two more MechTech ports become available on his legs, and two on the truck steps end up on his arms; all other MechTech ports from vehicle mode are still usable. Megatron's fusion cannon can even be mounted on his back, like in the movie, thanks to the truck's cab (and associated MechTech port) winding up on his back. Care should be taken when transforming the shoulders, as the tiny Mack dog hood ornament is prone to being snapped off by the shifting black bumper section. It is also quite difficult to get his chest to tab into his shoulder panels due to his arms getting in the way, and his already short pegs having to tab into very shallow holes.

:Megatron was also sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride, advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, but has no visible changes from his original widespread release.

:The gun from the Evasion Mode Optimus Prime toy, released several years after, is intended to be compatible with this figure-not only is it sculpted to resemble the shotgun Megs used (twice) in the movie, a tab on the handle (not the post that was supposed to be the handle for ''Age of Extinction'' Optimus) allows him to wield it properly by slotting onto a slot on his hand. It even has 5mm posts on its side so that it can mount in movie-accurate fashion on his back!

**''Accessories'': MechTech Blaster/Fusion Cannon, tarp/cape

:This gold vacuum metallized version of Voyager Class Dark of the Moon Megatron is a prize in TakaraTomy's MechTech campaign. To qualify for winning this toy, one needed to enter the second batch of the campaign (12 August to 31 October). This toy is limited to 10 pieces.

:In 2014, Tritanium Megatron is one of the prize figures that is re-issued (probably remaining stock) again for the ''Transformers Celebration 2014'' event held at Ikebukuro Sunshine City store's Toys"R"Us.

**''Accessories:'' Missile
:A redeco of the Revenge of the Fallen Leader class toy in black, silver, and purple to represent his infusion with Dark Energon, (despite not existing in this continuity) Dark Energon Edition Megatron is an Asian-exclusive release that's also available through online stores.

:An identical knockoff of the toy is available, so buyers beware! The only way to identify is the packaging's ''very obvious'' "Transforms" and "Takasa Tony" logo, and the lack of "Dark Energon Edition Megatron" text.

:A very similar yet distinct redeco of the Revenge of the Fallen Leader Class figure, this Megatron is largely identical to the Dark Energon release but features a much brighter, almost maroon-like purple, and with some deco differences, notably on the head and arms.

:Originally released in 2015 through TakaraTomyMall and limited to 2000 pieces, Nightmare Megatron was later reissued in wider numbers in 2017.

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

:''Bash Bots'' Megatron is a small, rock-em-sock-em-styled toy that transforms from a super-deformed truck into a robot by pulling or pushing the lever below its built-in stand. He & his stand can connect with any Bash Bots to fight with, especially the included Bumblebee, instead of his nemesis Optimus Prime.

{{toydesigner|[[Lenny Panzica]] (Hasbro)}}

:Released as part of the [[Robo Power]] subline, Megatron possesses a one-step transformation: squeezing down on the purple section at the rear of his truck mode causes him to transform into robot mode, and squeezing down on it again will turn him back into truck mode. In robot mode, Megatron boasts both sculpted battle damage on his head and shoulder articulation.

:Megatron was released in an open package that allowed children to touch the toy, but did not allow for transformation due to twist ties and a plastic tray being present.

* '''Megatron''' (2011)
**''Set number'': '''30688'''
**''Pieces'': '''310'''
**''Kreons'': [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Megatron]], [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Shockwave]], [[Specialist]], [[Police Officer]]
**''Accessories'': Clip-on Megatron cannon

: The large brick-built Megatron in this ''[[Kre-O]]'' set is based on the live-action film Megatron in his ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' body; the robot can be rebuilt from a robot into what resembles a Mack truck. In truck mode, up to two Kreons can ride in the front of the cab, or be locked up in a cramped prison cell at the back of the cab. The truck also features a functioning [[trailer]] hitch. In robot mode, Megatron features hands with articulated claw fingers (built on top of a pair of ''regular fists''), a shoulder-mounted pressure-launched [[missile]] launcher, as well as a small, rotating, back-mounted prison "box" of sorts.

:Like many other ''Kre-O'' sets, the [[stock photography]] and [[package art]] feature robot construction that differs from the final product, as Megatron's upper arms have several of the extraneous parts, mainly his truck cab doors, added to the construction. Whether this is due to a change in the design or the photographers creative liberty with the figure is left to be seen. The [[sticker]] sheet also features an unused sticker depicting a bolted metal panel with an amusing message ("OPTIMUS PRIME WAS HERE! [[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]]") scrawled on it, although its shape and coloration suggest that it's meant to go on the back wall of the prison cell.

*'''Kreon 4-Pack''' (2014)
**''Kreons'': [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Universal4pack|Bumblebee]], [[Evac (Ride)#Kre-O|Evac]] (pre-2020 releases), Megatron, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Universal4pack|Optimus Prime]], [[N.E.S.T. Sentry]] (2020 release)
**''Accessories'': Megatron cannon

: The only non-Galvatron [[Kreon]] of movie Megatron in the ''[[Kre-O]]'' line, [[Kreon]] Megatron is based on his ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' body, which is odd since it's his ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'' body that shows up in the Ride (and as a photo-opportunity "mascot" character on the park grounds). He was available exclusively in a box set sold at the ''[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]'' gift shop at [[Universal]] Studios theme parks. After several years of only being available at the park proper, the 4-pack was eventually added to Universal's online store.

: In 2015, a new run of the set was produced, this time using the revamped-from-the-head-down 2015-style Kreon bodies (and a logo-plate rather than the older 2x4 logo-brick). Megatron's [[tampograph]]s are slightly sharper, with thinner black outlines, but are otherwise unchanged. This set would later see slight production changes; all of the figures' tampographs have gone back to thicker lines and being a bit sloppier, while Megatron's medium-pearlescent-gray plastics have been lightened considerably.

: In mid-2020, the set was revamped again, now removing Evac and replacing him with the [[N.E.S.T. Sentry]]. This version of the set uses the latter version of the other three characters with the thicker tampograph lines and lighter medium-gray plastic.

**''Set number'': '''A9230'''

: Part of the second wave of ''Age of Extinction'' [[Kreon#Custom Kreons|Custom Kreon]]s, Galvatron comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his many many extra pieces. His "normal" helmet and two drills (attached to clip-on turbines/cannons) 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) and a spare hand, plus buildable tread-backpack, and a pistol (originally a [[Klingon]] disruptor from ''Kre-O [[Star Trek]]'').

: The centerpiece of the "[[Galvatron Factory Battle]]" set, Galvatron is rendered as a large buildable super-robot, a sort of mega-Kreon, with a new hip piece using larger balljoints. He does not seem to be based on... anything. Certainly not something that would become a vehicle.

:He's designed to fit on a large movable working slab in the factory playset.

: The first "normal" Kreon of Galvatron available, this one was only available in the "[[Grimlock Unleashed]]" set.

: This set popped up at Toys"R"Us a few short weeks after the initial product without any advance warning... and retailed for a mere $25, despite the size of the set.

: This Toys"R"Us [[exclusive]] Blu-Ray + DVD release of ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' includes a unique Galvatron Kreon, though at first glance you probably wouldn't realize that it's different from the "Grimlock Unleashed" version (see above). This version changes up which body parts use metal-flake medium-gray plastic and which use the metallic silver plastic (including his hands), has an even ''darker'' gray helmet, and completely new tampographs all around, possibly more movie-model-accurate? It's kind of hard to tell.

:This set also included a similarly "just different enough to make you mad" [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#MovieGiftSet|Optimus Prime Kreon]].

''[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]'' Megatron replaces all of the pale brown and most of the light gray plastic with dark metallic olive-green, replaces the remaining gray plastic (including his tarp/cape) with a cooler shade, switches out the black for his wheels with dark brown, and redecoes his translucent red plastic into clear colorless plastic. Among other minor deco changes, he replaces the pale brown paint on his wheels and toolboxes/forearms with tan, features a silver-painted MechTech weapon, tanker, and front bumpers, and has some additional reddish "rust" paint details.

As with Evasion Optimus Prime, he has a different paint scheme than seen on his packaging, with fewer paint applications on his body and weapon. His cannon can either be held like a gun or fitted on his hand in a way that appears as if it is coming out of his arm.

:Due to his transformation scheme and design, his thighs are disproportionally short. The ankle hinges that fold his feet up in truck mode also make his lower legs extremely long by about half an inch, adding extra wire-like details that aren't present on his [[character model|CGI model]].

:Galvatron's package is the only packaging in the Age of Extinction toyline thus far that neglects to mention what his alternate mode is called. The only mention of Freightliner being involved with his alternate mode is in the tiny copyright information section of the box.

:The ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' version adds some additional paint applications for a more screen-accurate look, most notably, a darker face with yellowish-red eyes. This mold was later retooled into JD.com exclusive [[JD Red Knight]].

:"Mission to Cybertron" Megatron is a redeco/new head retool of [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Deluxe|''Generations Thrilling 30'' Megatron]] (and also the first Deluxe Class Movie Megatron toy that is not a Fast Action Battler), featuring a new head based on his appearance in the movie, albeit in a ''Generation 1''-ish style. He transforms from robot into Don Figueroa's stealth bomber design from IDW Publishing's ''[[The Transformers (IDW)|The Transformers]]'' ongoing series (which resembles a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit). In robot mode, his wingtips detach to combine and transform into his fusion cannon. The cannon can peg into 5mm ports on his hands and forearms. Many figures were erroneously released with [[Quality control|two left fists]]. The instructions still depict his original mold's head.

:As with most "Mission to Cybertron" figures, Megatron features Cyberglyphics on both sides of the wings/fusion cannon, which translate to his own name. He also comes with a card, with the glyphs being decoded as "ENERGON", while the back features a piece (which includes Megatron) for the 6-part "Mission to Cybertron" poster.

:The figure also saw release in Japan, also as a Toys"R"Us exclusive (''stealth'' Megatron), without any changes from the American release.

:Released in the second wave of ''Premier Edition'' Voyagers, Megatron transforms from robot to Cybertronian jet. It is armed with a weapon resembling the [http://www.higgins-collection.org/artifacts/1605 Ikakalaka] weapon, and it can be stored on the robot's back which also can end up under the cockpit in jet mode if left place, or may be stored on the jet's top. While the fusion cannon on the right forearm is non-removable, it can be folded up against the back of his arm to replicate his ‘unarmed’ look in the movie. While the figure appears nearly black in promotional images, it's actually a metallic graphite gray with darker gunmetal gray paint applications. As with the other TLK Megatron figure, this one lacks the red facial "scar" from the film, but has red light piping in the eyes, forehead... and neck! The jet mode cockpit is also cast in transparent red. The port on the robot back/jet undercarriage is compatible with most figure flight stands. The jet mode lacks any sort of landing gear. There is a minor variant, in regards to the Decepticon symbol. While the stock photos and vast majority of the release feature the Decepticon symbol as it appears with its movie styling, some copies have been found sporting the traditional Decepticon logo, with the difference being in the eyes.

:Some stock photos depict Megatron's sword handle as being an unpainted red, however the final release and later stock photos have it the same color as the rest of the sword. The stock renders also depict the sword's bladed section and several body details being painted silver.

:The figure saw release in Japan as a Toys"R"Us exclusive. As with most Wave 2 Deluxes and Voyagers, Megatron's release was delayed in some territories, leading to [[Toy scalping|scalping]] on the aftermarket.

:Part of the first wave of ''Premier Edition'' Leader Class figures, Megatron changes from Cybertronian jet to robot and back. He includes a large sword-axe which can store on his back in robot mode, and on the top of his jet in his vehicle form. In addition, he also comes with two flame effects which can plug into his turbine exhausts in jet mode or his arm-mounted fusion cannon in robot mode. On the back of his head there is a lever that can be pulled up to rotate a portion of his head, and close in the tusks to form his battle mask. In jet mode, he has an opening cockpit and his nosecone can be opened up to expose the fusion cannon by the push of a button right behind the cockpit. Because this action is spring-loaded and the two halves of the nosecone are made of soft plastic, it does not hold together well.

:Of all the Megatron toys above, this Leader Class figure bears the largest jet mode in the lineup.

:His battle axe was redecoed as a promotional campaign item, which used gold chrome. In 2018, Megatron is released along with either 1) [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#CaliburOP|Calibur Optimus Prime]] as part of the "Optimus Prime VS Megatron" set, or 2) [[Berserker#The Last Knight|Berserker]] and [[Nitro Zeus#The Last Knight|Decepticon Nitro]] as part of the "Decepticon Set".

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

:''[[Studio Series]]'' Megatron transforms into a Cybertronian tank and is generally more accurate to his appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen''. It features a flip-out sword for his [[death-lock pincer]] with an articulated thumb sticking out of the side to make up for his lack of a right hand, as well as side turrets for his tank mode. His tank mode is ''mostly'' accurate to the film, however, it does not include its wings. The figure also includes a cardboard backdrop depicting the forest battle in ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

:The lower rear leg panels fall off very easily due to pegs being molded too short. Due to transformation, Megatron is left with a glaringly hollow robot mode if viewed from the sides; this problem can be somewhat rectified by gently forcing the turrets downward.

:While some [[Toy Fair]] [[Toy Fair 2018|2018]] painted samples showed Megatron with a dark, metallic color scheme, the final product features light grey plastic. Likewise, the CG stock render depicts Megatron having brighter & dull gold parts instead of the final product's bronze, and his pair of turrets is depicted as being molded in black, among other minor deco differences, including a Decepticon symbol on his left shoulder that was omitted. The sword on the render is also bent impossibly far upwards, clipping into the rest of his cannon arm.

:Unsurprisingly, the [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/archive/1/16/20180531120445%21StudioSeries-13-MV2-Voyager-Megatron.jpg stock photo] featured on many websites don't have the feet fully transformed (making them look long and flat). As shown in the accurately-transformed figure to the right: his toes have the capability to split in two; the back half of the foot must be folded down for accuracy; and the kibble that forms his face-guard in tank mode helps balance the feet out. Speaking of feet: the small wheel on Megatron's right foot in the CG stock render is molded in the same light gray color, while the other small wheels are molded in the same color as the treads.

:Later issues of this mold have a problem with the left ankle - the pin holding it in place with the shin is inserted too far on the inside. With some figures, this issue severely affects the posability of the left leg. Another as-of-yet unidentified issue in the right leg can also cause the right front treads to lift high off the ground in tank mode, which can be annoying.

:In a rather ''bizarre'' case of parts reuse, several of this figure's parts (notably the arm joints and the hip pieces) were also used for ''Studio Series'' Leader Class [[Shockwave (Movie)#Studio Series|Shockwave]], whereas his chest piece was also used for ''Studio Series'' Voyager Class Megatron in his body from the 2007 film (see below).

**''Accessories:'' Cloak, chains, shotgun, [[Igor#Studio Series|Igor]] minifigure, "[[Namibia|Serengeti Hideout]]" backdrop

:This ''Studio Series'' Megatron transforms into a licensed Mack M915 Line-Haul Replacement Tractor and is accurate to his appearance in ''Dark of the Moon'', complete with a new cloak accessory and chains. He also comes with a shotgun, a minifigure of [[Igor]], and a cardboard backdrop display depicting the Decepticon camp in [[Namibia]], [[Africa]]. The Igor figure can plug into small pegs behind his head in robot mode or on the truck mode's trailer.

:Megatron's shot gun can store underneath the cab of the truck or on his robot back using a small peg. The shotgun is actually molded in beige plastic and then completely coated with gunmetal and silver paint for increased screen-accuracy. Care should be taken when tabbing in his shotgun to his hand as the hand's rubbery plastic can strip away the gun's paint, especially if left there for prolonged periods of time. While only the right hand is molded to be able to hold it via 5 mm post, a small peg near the handle allows him to wield the shotgun in his left hand by plugging it into a gap on his thumb, though it takes some fiddling with his fingers (which are also molded in soft plastic) to make it look presentable.

:It can be difficult to get enough clearance in truck mode for the cab's rear wheels to roll freely, as the chest pieces hang very low to the ground when in alternate mode. In addition, due to the sheer length of the truck mode and the internal forces from plastic tolerances, it can be difficult to get all ten wheels on the ground at once. The peg that connects the truck frame together in prevents his left calf from sliding completely flush into his leg, but this does not affect posability.

:The rubber chains take a bit of stretching to properly attach. Some orientations are easier to hook on than others, and the order of operations can also make it easier or harder to get all four eyelets hooked in place. As a result of the transformation, the truck cab is noticeably hollow, and cannot pivot at the trailer connection. As the front grills/spikes are molded in soft plastic, the pieces may warp in robot mode, in and out of package.

:Presumably as a result of being accidentally assigned to the wrong toy during the same photo shoot, the Hasbro stock photos of Megatron depict [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]]'s cane as an accessory, rather than Jetfire's own stock photos.

Like his wave-mate [[Soundwave (ROTF)/toys#Studio Series|Soundwave]], he's slathered in metallic silver paint. As such, exercise some caution if you don't want to get them scratched from handling.

:Confusingly, his chest is redecoed from that of his initial ''Revenge of the Fallen'' ''Studio Series'' figure, making it inaccurate to its appearance in the 2007 film. In a bizarre reversal of this, Megatron's CG model render on the front of the packaging depicts his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' head photoshopped onto his 2007 chest and body. As a byproduct of his transformation scheme, his knee joints are placed extremely far back on his legs, resulting in unsightly gaps in some poses. Due to being hinge joints, the heel panels are ''sometimes'' not strong enough to support the weight of the figure.

:Due to it's transformation, the jet mode's fuselage is rather visually compromised, consisting of robot kibble instead of accurate detailing. The jet lacks his distinctive exposed head as well as the top spikes on the ends of his wings, though the latter may be [[for safety reasons]]. As he has no landing gear, the jet rests on Megatron's torso, which may scratch the paint. He does possess a 3mm stand port for jet mode, but unfortunately it is difficult to access.

:This figure's flail, attached using a [[mushroom joint]], differs from those of his previous Leader Class and ''Masterpiece'' toys; it uses a proper spiked head rather than repurposing one of his hands and is connected using two separate chains sculpted from a somewhat flexible material. The flail's chain assembly features a [[5_mm_post|5 mm post]] on each side for storage in jet mode and a special tab that is shaped to fit a slot in either of Megatron's wrists while his hands are folded, though its width also makes it compatible with most 5 mm ports. Unfortunately, he does not come equipped with his fusion cannon.

:Lastly, he comes with backdrop display depicting the Battle of [[Mission City]].

:Like the rest of the Voyager figures in the same wave, Megatron first saw release in Hong Kong independent stores.

:This ''Studio Series'' figure of Galvatron is a Voyager Class figure, transforming into a licensed 2012 Freightliner Argosy. Like the original Voyager Class figure from 2014, he has truck kibble on his robot mode due to the impossible to emulate transformation on-screen; despite this, he comes out looking much cleaner in robot mode compared to his 2014 figure, even managing to replicate the back of his torso grinder and featuring (small) sculpted-in arm blades! Unfortunately, his feet form ''very'' noticeable kibble on his truck mode's trailer hitch as a trade-off.

:He comes with his cannon and a rocket cluster. The cannon is designed to be used in his right hand. In vehicle mode, it can be stored under the truck using a slot in the left foot, but has no robot mode storage (officially). The rockets store in his chest in robot mode and under the cab in truck mode.

:Omitted from the instructions but shown in his Instagram reveal, the rocket cluster can peg into his arms or the sides of his truck mode. Undocumented by either, the cannon sports another tab that also allows it to peg into his arm or the sides of the truck. Additionally, in robot mode, there is enough space to [https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/studio-series-90-age-of-extinction-voyager-class-galvatron.1234541/page-5#post-20825378 store both accessories in his chest with a bit of finagling].

:Don't forget to rotate his head when transforming to truck mode, otherwise the roof will not sit flush.

:Like all ''Studio Series'' figures in the Deluxe class and above, he comes with a backdrop, which depicts the chase in [[Hong Kong]] for the [[Seed]].

:Galvatron sports a several differences between his digital render and the final product, notably the sculpting on the upper parts of his torso panel and the stripes on his forehead (which ended up almost completely removed), as well as additional paint apps that did not make it to release.

**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[August 31]], 2019
**''Accessories'': "[[Fusion cannon|Weapon Blaster]]", chain whip, "[[AllSpark#Masterpiece Movie Series|Allspark Cube]]"

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece Movie Series]]'' Megatron is a large (12" tall), complex, mostly screen-accurate mold, and for the first time in ''years'' is based on his appearance in the 2007 film rather than the sequels, transforming into a Cybertronian jet mode in 50 steps. He features [[die-cast]] in his feet and multiple pieces in his back. Both of Megatron's weapon gimmicks are based on his removable hands: he includes a rubber "chain" piece which can connect either hand to its wrist to represent his flail in the film, albeit closer to the [[Rocket Claw]], as the flail end in the film is not his hand. The "Weapon Blaster", as the box calls it, can plug into a single wrist in its smaller "handgun" form, or into both wrists in its extended "[[fusion cannon]]" form. His blaster can also plug into the chain in order to represent the flail head, albeit oversized and lopsided. Although his hands have nowhere else to store when removed, they do ''not'' need to be removed for transformation, and both weapons have dedicated storage in robot and vehicle modes, with the blaster usefully filling out the jet's rear end. He also includes a silver-painted [[AllSpark#Masterpiece Movie Series|AllSpark]] cube containing die-cast, which, under a removable portion of his chest, can fit into his red translucent innards to represent his death at the end of the film. Like several other ''Masterpiece Movie Series'' figures, he has an articulated jaw. His transformation scheme allows his wings to be unfurled in robot mode, representing the brief scene in the movie when he carried Jazz to a rooftop before killing him.

:Megatron was revealed and released alongside MPM-9 [[Jazz (Movie)#Masterpiece Movie Series|Autobot Jazz]], as the two can replicate Jazz's death from the 2007 film.

:Megatron's head is based on a unfinalized model that was often used in previsualization material in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' and ''Dark of the Moon''. This is especially noticable as it lacks Cybertronian text on the back of his head, as well as excessive material around the sides of his head and his crown.<ref>[https://youtu.be/AtU_I4Wdg_c Unfinalized 2007 Megatron CGI model used for animatic clips throughout the first three films.]</ref>

:Exercise caution while transforming him into both modes: as many of his parts are painted, some of the sections are prone to chipping.

'''[[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]''' got the Hollywood bad-guy treatment, and therefore got truckloads of toys too!
He also ''became'' a truck later on. Funny, that is.

[[File:Movie Legends Megatron toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Just what the hell do I turn into?]]
*'''Megatron''' (Legends Class, [[2007]])
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Megatron'''
: Released in the second wave of ''[[Transformers (2007 toyline)|Transformers]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] figures, Megatron transforms into a Cybertronian jet. This figure uses the pre-final head design from concept art and some ancillary media. Due to his transformation scheme, he has a swiveling waist. Despite its simplicity, this figure is far closer to Megatron's actual silhouette in the movie than most of his larger figures.

:The figure is misassembled in the package, with the arms being swapped, putting paint applications and more sculpted detail on the wrong sides of his arms; it is a simple matter to rectify this though as his shoulders are easily popped off and swapped around. It should be noted that the arms & head are molded in softer, rubbery plastic. While they don't harden and break quickly like [[Scorponok (Movie)#Legends Class toys|Legends Class Scorponok's stinger]], the pieces can become loose around the hard plastic ball joints over time. Also, the parts are prone to photodegrading after a decade or so, even when it's new/MISB.

:The figure is slightly mistransformed in the picture to the right, as well as all pictures depicting his vehicle mode below - the wingtips should be rotated 180° downwards, making for a more screen-accurate jet mode.

:The toy was also later released as part of the blind-packed EZ Collection lineup, distributed via TakaraTomy's subsidiary Subarudo.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-14'''
**''Accessories:'' Projectile
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Released partway into the second wave of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|''Transformers'']] Voyager Class toys, Megatron transforms into an ice-covered version of his Cybertronian jet form, with transparent blue plastic forming large portions of his vehicle mode, such as parts of his wings. This ice design is carried onto his robot mode, with his legs, shoulders and chest having some kind of 'ice' plastic covering them.

:With a significantly different (and simple compared to other figures of the same pricepoint) transformation sequence compared to his earlier Leader class toy, his chest frost lowers and his shoulders raise to robot mode position when you bring his lower body forward thanks to [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] technology. He also has his fusion cannon in its entirety on his left arm which can fire a projectile. His wings feature flip-out "ice blades", and pulling on a tab in the back of his jet mode brings them forward like one giant pincer claw.

:His feet are entirely spring-loaded, which means his foot and the two "rear toes" on each feet automatically close up when his weight is not applied to them. Surprisingly, this helps a lot with the posing, as the feet parts automatically position themselves for the perfect balance.

:The stock photo on the toy's packaging depicts Megatron with the unused head that appeared in some concept art.

**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:One of the first figures available in the ''[[Premium Series]]'' (although not explicitly identified on the packaging as such), Voyager Class Megatron was released exclusively at Best Buy on October 16th, 2007 alongside the North American launch of the ''Transformers'' movie DVD. Megatron (now packaged in robot mode, inside a special display box) has been completely redecoed, covering most of his previously grey parts with metallic silver paint and a black paint wash over the top of that. Black and gold highlights are used to offset all of the silver, while the transparent 'ice' parts are clear. These changes essentially make Megatron far more accurate to his movie appearance.

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

:A Target exclusive redeco of Voyager Class Megatron in primarily beige and chocolate brown colors with brown paintwashes, this version replaces the ice colored translucent plastic with two shades of translucent orange to replicate a look that resembles Megatron's fiery demise (or atmospheric re-entry). Unlike the previous releases, this version's wings are painted to match the body color, so they give the appearance of molten slag. This version was only available in a two-pack with a mostly unchanged Deluxe Class [[Jazz (Movie)#TargetvsMegatron|Final Battle Jazz]] in reference to their fight on the skyscraper featured in the film.

:As the colors on this Megatron are very similar to the colors on the Screen Battles version of Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]], it can be assumed that those two sets are meant to also represent the climactic final battle at the end of the film.

*'''Megatron''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''MD-07'''
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Released in the second wave of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|''Transformers'']] Leaders, Megatron transforms into a gray Cybertronian jet. Unlike the Voyager Class toy above, this mold does not feature any molded ice details; instead it uses metallic blue paint to represent his frozen form. In robot mode, Megatron's right "[[Rocket Claw]]" disconnects at the wrist to become the spiked end of the extendable "[[Mace (weapon)|chain]] [[whip]]" weapon concealed within his forearm; pressing the black switch on the arm pulls the chain taut for a whipping attack. His arms also link together at the wrists to form a "[[fusion cannon]]," with the pod on his left forearm concealing the weapon's [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing twin barrels, exposed by pulling a switch. His other automorph features include his wings folding up as his vehicle nosecone is moved into place, and his feet unfolding as his knees are straightened. Finally, pressing the button on his waist activates a small friction motor, which moves various torso plates and blades on his back into place, accompanied by a metallic shrieking sound and flashing yellow lights.

: Megatron's instructions summarily fail to actually tell the reader about how his gimmicks work. The whipping-action black switch for his flail is not mentioned; they do not detail how to connect the arms for fusion cannon mode; and the fact that the cannon is on a slider, allowing it to be center-aligned, rather than sitting off to one side, is also omitted.

: There is an error in Megatron's legs, in that his left and right hip joints have been swapped for reasons unknown. Switching them allows for a slightly smoother transformation. In addition to ''that'', both of Megatron's hands have a finger misassembly. Two pieces are molded to have two fingers, while one is obviously supposed to be a thumb–however, this thumb is on the 'outside' of his hands instead of the inside. The prototype on the packaging's stock photos show the correct assembly.

: Possibly a dropped feature [[for safety reasons]], the right hand (partly a projectile tethered to the arm) is designed to launch out of his wrist via a spring-loaded firing mechanism. However, the spring for the launching mechanism was removed, though the firing trigger remains.

: The back of Megatron's box depicts him with the almost-used head from concept art. The panel that conceals his face in jet mode is sculpted to fit the face of that head, so while it still covers up his final head reasonably well, it is not a perfect fit.

: In Japan, starting on [[July 19]]th, buying Megatron from [[AEON|JUSCO]] stores netted customers the [[exclusive]] [[campaign item|promotional freebie]] [[Mini-Con|Micron]] [[Torque Gain]].

*'''Megatron''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)

:Premium Megatron is a redeco of the previously released Leader Class Megatron. The figure is now given far more movie-accurate paint applications of black, gold, & silver. Premium Megatron also features the classic transformation sound when the chest Automorph function is activated. The original "metal shriek" sound is retained when the sound button is pressed in vehicle mode.

:In the promotional photos of the toy, this version was pictured with a new vehicle mode face cover that fit the new head better. However, this retool was apparently dropped before actual production but can still be seen on the box back photography. All manufacturing errors from the first release are still present.

:Unlike some of the early "Premium Series" toys, Premium Leader Megatron was mass-released at a variety of retailers, instead of being an exclusive to any particular store.

:Fusion Blast Megatron is a simple version of Megatron with dorky-looking proportions in robot mode, and it turns into an even dorkier-looking vehicle mode. The transformation sequence manages to be even more simple and non-involved than the other ''Movie'' Megatron toys by means of an Automorph feature very similar to the early Beast Wars flipchangers. Moving his back section down causes the torso to flip up, hiding the head and positioning the arms skywards. Though the figure requires a little more repositioning and folding, most of the transformation is done with a single step.

:The figure's packaging depicts Megatron with a different head sculpt and silver paint instead of unpainted gray plastic.

*'''Megatron''' (Legends, [[2009]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-02'''

:Megatron transforms from a reasonably accurate version of his movie robot mode to a reasonably accurate version of his tank mode (with a teeny extra Megatron face in his groin, without paint details probably to avoid creepiness). He has ball-jointed shoulders and hips in robot mode, plus elbow and knee joints. His alt mode turret is formed by merging his left and right arms, which is a neat callback to the first movie's fusion cannon, but means the turret can't rotate side to side, only pivot at the barrel.

:Several samples suffer from a disconnected lower left leg, which should be connected to the metal rod inside the upper leg. While the loose appendage cannot be repaired without extensive tooling, the upper leg is tight enough to prevent the leg from falling out during display or careful play. Speaking of legs, this Legends Class Megatron is somewhat prone to falling down with a light breeze of wind. The kibble on his robot mode back doesn't help the balancing at all.

:Megatron also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' EZ Collection sets. And like all first waves, He comes with a flyer advertising the TakaraTomy releases of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline. In Malaysia, this toy is also one of the four Legends Class figures to be released as promotional merchandise for the Petronas Gas Station. He can be obtained starting from the 12th of July along with Optimus Prime, via RM30 ($7.04) worth of gas or RM15 ($3.52) worth of foods and items in the Mesra Shop.

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:The second mainline ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Megatron toy is more slender than the larger Leader-Class Megatron, as it was based (more or less) on the finalized Megatron design, and as such, features a sleeker tank mode, a large lobster-claw like right arm and a normal-sized left arm. Unlike the larger toy, the Voyager's firing missile is located on the left arm, though the end is still sculpted to look like a set of fingers, and he also wears the entire top of the tank as a [[kibble]] backpack instead of having jet turbines like the Leader class toy. For some reason, he's also green.

:He features two [[Mech Alive]] gimmicks. Turning his waist turns internal gears in his chest, while bending his right elbow makes a blade extend in and out of his claw.

:The highlighted box to the far right showcases one alternative to positioning his back kibble; this ultimately leads to a ton of junk protruding out from his back, but also makes his silhouette from the front look cleaner.

:This [[Toys"R"Us]]-exclusive three pack includes a redeco of Megatron's Voyager-Class toy from the first movie in a scheme basically identical to the first movie's Voyager "Premium Series" version (but with much fewer paint details), as well as the Voyager-Class [[The Fallen#GatheringNemesis|The Fallen]] and a redeco of Deluxe-Class [[Soundwave (ROTF)/toys#GatheringNemesis|Soundwave]]. The back of the box and samples shown before release portrayed this Megatron as using the unrevised original head design from the first film, but the final version has the same head as past Voyager-Class Megatrons.

:Both Megatron and the accompanying Jet Power Optimus Prime would have come with an issue of the [[Unite for the Universe issue 1|''Unite for the Universe'' comic book]], but due to the cancellation of both figures, the comics were eventually included with the [[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Movie Masterpiece]] releases of Leader class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Bumblebee]]. Of amusement is the fact the comics are essentially showcasing toys that have been canceled.

*'''Megatron''' (Leader Class, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RD-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:The first and largest ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Megatron toy is based on an earlier design for Megatron that differs slightly from the final CG model. This design is more bulky and hunchbacked than the final design, has a right arm with a shoulder pad that doubles as a bladed shield, and also has a very short and wimpy left arm. Like the Voyager Class toy, he also features feet that do not look like the CGI model, which has large two-toed feet formed by the tank treads rather than flat, clawed feet that resemble those of the first movie's design. Leaving the feet retracted creates a more movie-accurate appearance when the legs are viewed from the front (when viewed from the side, Megatron's legs look like stubs).

:The figure transforms into a Cybertronian tank, though it lacks the wings seen in the film and is also less streamlined. In robot mode, Megatron's entire lower right arm is a spring-loaded missile launcher and the tank turret's armour/shroud can be mechanically repositioned to partially cover the cannon, with flip-out sword blade, as seen in the early concept design. Due to the amount of [[gimmick]]ry involved, the right arm has no elbow.

:Pressing the Decepticon symbol-emblazoned button on his chest activates his light, [[Mech Alive]], and voice sound effects ("I am Megatron!"). The Mech Alive mechanics involve shaking his head to and fro while panels in his chest shudder. The European release (sold in the UK and non-English speaking countries) proclaims just simply "Megatron!" with laughter. After a month or two, the American release became available in the UK as well as the Canadian province of Quebec, while English Canada (which usually stocks the American release) somehow got the European version in some areas.

:Interestingly, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|while]] [[Starscream (Movie)/toys|other]] [[Demolishor (ROTF)|figures]] in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' line suffered mold simplifications from budget cuts, Megatron got mold ''additions''. Hasbro's stock pictures depict a vastly different and much smaller shield which lacks the outer claw prongs and has different detailing, and there is no evidence that the flip-down feet had been implemented at all. These late mold changes may have been done to slightly increase the toy's accuracy to his movie depiction and, in the case of the flip-down feet, to make Megatron look like he actually has ''feet'' rather than stubs to walk on.

*'''Shadow Command Megatron''' (Leader Class, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Missile
{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

:Shadow Command Megatron, as the name suggests, is a mostly black redeco of Leader class Megatron, which much resembles the previous Fast Action Battlers ''Night Attack Megatron'' redeco. The figure sports more paint applications than the first release. The voice chip has been changed, instead of saying "I am Megatron!" like the initial release, it says "There is no command but mine!". The blast sound effect has also been changed to a laser sound, and a G1-esque sound effect plays when rotating Megatron's legs during transformation.

:Initial shipments of Shadow Command Megatron have a minor misassembly in his right shoulder that causes the laser sound effect to go off only when his arm is pointing backwards, as opposed to forward. It is fixable, but only after knocking out a pin.

**''Accessories'': Projectile

:Part of the first wave of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Fast Action Battlers]], "Cannon Blast" Megatron is a simplified figure that transforms into a Cybertronian tank. His right arm has a spring-launched missile fired via a switch on the side, as well a soft plastic blade that can be folded out. Twisting the figure's right arm produces a chopping action. Due to the weird design of the feet and weight distribution, Megatron is difficult to stand up unless he is hunched forward.

{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro), [[Hisao Nishimoto]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Commander Class Megatron is an abbreviated version of his Voyager counterpart, transforming into a single piece fuel tanker. The fuel tank splits in half, forming hand-held double cannons which then can be combined into a large cannon, extremely reminiscent of his fusion cannon in the first movie. The [[C joint]] mounting clip of the fuel tank is on a swivel, allowing the large cannon to be mounted onto the smokestacks and used in vehicle mode. His head is also on a pivot joint, allowing him to look up and down.

:Care must be taken while forming the rear cabin: The instructions tell you to fold the feet panels up after transforming the legs first, but it will cause some slight stress marks on the feet panels/smokestacks' joints. We recommend folding the panels up first while the legs are still separated.

*'''Megatron''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD01'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/[[Fusion Cannon]], tarp/cape
{{toydesigner|[[Tomoya Miyake]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Voyagers, ''MechTech'' Megatron now transforms into a <s>disfigured Mad Max truck</s> officially licensed Mack M915 Line-Haul Replacement Tractor and trailer, although it lacks many of the features in the movie, such as the spikes on the roof and the rope mesh on the hood. The forward half of the trailer-mounted oil tank converts into Megatron's [[MechTech]] Blaster, which in turn converts into a Fusion Cannon when the ladder is pushed in. Like all MechTech Voyager toys, his weapon can lock into this mode by pushing the ladder all the way in and rotating it to the right. Megatron has six MechTech [[5 mm post|5mm post]]/MechTech ports in vehicle mode, including three on his MechTech weapon, two on the steps below the truck cab doors, and a self-covering port (which automatically fills in the hole when a weapon is not inserted) on the roof. Though the truck cab and its "trailer" are a single entity that cannot be separated, Megatron does have an articulation joint between where the trailer and cab connect where the fifth wheel hitch would be, despite being formed from his independently-jointed legs.

:The rubbery tarp over the tanker is a two piece affair, with a detachable 'hood' accessory that slots into a port beside Megatron's neck. This deliberately obscures Megatron's badly mutilated face, a callback to the injuries he received at the climax of ''Revenge of the Fallen''. In [[robot mode]], two more MechTech ports become available on his legs, and two on the truck steps end up on his arms; all other MechTech ports from vehicle mode are still usable. Megatron's fusion cannon can even be mounted on his back, like in the movie, thanks to the truck's cab (and associated MechTech port) winding up on his back. Care should be taken when transforming the shoulders, as the tiny Mack dog hood ornament is prone to being snapped off by the shifting black bumper section. It is also quite difficult to get his chest to tab into his shoulder panels due to his arms getting in the way, and his already short pegs having to tab into very shallow holes.

:Megatron was also sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride, advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, but has no visible changes from his original widespread release.

:The gun from the Evasion Mode Optimus Prime toy, released several years after, is intended to be compatible with this figure-not only is it sculpted to resemble the shotgun Megs used (twice) in the movie, a tab on the handle (not the post that was supposed to be the handle for ''Age of Extinction'' Optimus) allows him to wield it properly by slotting onto a slot on his hand. It even has 5mm posts on its side so that it can mount in movie-accurate fashion on his back!

: The large brick-built Megatron in this ''[[Kre-O]]'' set is based on the live-action film Megatron in his ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' body; the robot can be rebuilt from a robot into what resembles a Mack truck. In truck mode, up to two Kreons can ride in the front of the cab, or be locked up in a cramped prison cell at the back of the cab. The truck also features a functioning [[trailer]] hitch. In robot mode, Megatron features hands with articulated claw fingers (built on top of a pair of ''regular fists''), a shoulder-mounted pressure-launched [[missile]] launcher, as well as a small, rotating, back-mounted prison "box" of sorts.

:Like many other ''Kre-O'' sets, the [[stock photography]] and [[package art]] feature robot construction that differs from the final product, as Megatron's upper arms have several of the extraneous parts, mainly his truck cab doors, added to the construction. Whether this is due to a change in the design or the photographers creative liberty with the figure is left to be seen. The [[sticker]] sheet also features an unused sticker depicting a bolted metal panel with an amusing message ("OPTIMUS PRIME WAS HERE! [[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]]") scrawled on it, although its shape and coloration suggest that it's meant to go on the back wall of the prison cell.

: The only non-Galvatron [[Kreon]] of movie Megatron in the ''[[Kre-O]]'' line, [[Kreon]] Megatron is based on his ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' body, which is odd since it's his ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'' body that shows up in the Ride (and as a photo-opportunity "mascot" character on the park grounds). He was available exclusively in a box set sold at the ''[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]'' gift shop at [[Universal]] Studios theme parks. After several years of only being available at the park proper, the 4-pack was eventually added to Universal's online store.

: In 2015, a new run of the set was produced, this time using the revamped-from-the-head-down 2015-style Kreon bodies (and a logo-plate rather than the older 2x4 logo-brick). Megatron's [[tampograph]]s are slightly sharper, with thinner black outlines, but are otherwise unchanged. This set would later see slight production changes; all of the figures' tampographs have gone back to thicker lines and being a bit sloppier, while Megatron's medium-pearlescent-gray plastics have been lightened considerably.

: In mid-2020, the set was revamped again, now removing Evac and replacing him with the [[N.E.S.T. Sentry]]. This version of the set uses the latter version of the other three characters with the thicker tampograph lines and lighter medium-gray plastic.

: This Toys"R"Us [[exclusive]] Blu-Ray + DVD release of ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' includes a unique Galvatron Kreon, though at first glance you probably wouldn't realize that it's different from the "Grimlock Unleashed" version (see above). This version changes up which body parts use metal-flake medium-gray plastic and which use the metallic silver plastic (including his hands), has an even ''darker'' gray helmet, and completely new tampographs all around, possibly more movie-model-accurate? It's kind of hard to tell.

:This set also included a similarly "just different enough to make you mad" [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#MovieGiftSet|Optimus Prime Kreon]].

Among other minor deco changes, he replaces the pale brown paint on his wheels and toolboxes/forearms with tan, features a silver-painted MechTech weapon, tanker, and front bumpers, and has some additional reddish "rust" paint details.

:Part of the second wave of ''Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, Galvatron transforms into a 2012 Freightliner Argosy. Given that it would be impossible to emulate his on-screen transformation, he is a ''complete'' [[Shellformer|shell-former]], with his truck mode folding up solely along his back and calves. As with Evasion Optimus Prime, he has a different paint scheme than seen on his packaging, with fewer paint applications on his body and weapon. His cannon can either be held like a gun or fitted on his hand in a way that appears as if it is coming out of his arm.

:Due to his transformation scheme and design, his thighs are disproportionally short. The ankle hinges that fold his feet up in truck mode also make his lower legs extremely long by about half an inch, adding extra wire-like details that aren't present on his [[character model|CGI model]].

:Galvatron's package is the only packaging in the Age of Extinction toyline thus far that neglects to mention what his alternate mode is called. The only mention of Freightliner being involved with his alternate mode is in the tiny copyright information section of the box.

:The ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' version adds some additional paint applications for a more screen-accurate look, most notably, a darker face with yellowish-red eyes. This mold was later retooled into JD.com exclusive [[JD Red Knight]].

His chest also features a cavity for the electronic Allspark Cube (Oh, [[Transformers (film)|the irony!]]), which gives him different sound effects for his robot & vehicle modes. He also features 5mm compatible hands, but no weapon accessories.

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

:"Mission to Cybertron" Megatron is a redeco/new head retool of [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Deluxe|''Generations Thrilling 30'' Megatron]] (and also the first Deluxe Class Movie Megatron toy that is not a Fast Action Battler), featuring a new head based on his appearance in the movie, albeit in a ''Generation 1''-ish style. He transforms from robot into Don Figueroa's stealth bomber design from IDW Publishing's ''[[The Transformers (IDW)|The Transformers]]'' ongoing series (which resembles a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit). In robot mode, his wingtips detach to combine and transform into his fusion cannon. The cannon can peg into 5mm ports on his hands and forearms. Many figures were erroneously released with [[Quality control|two left fists]]. The instructions still depict his original mold's head.

:As with most "Mission to Cybertron" figures, Megatron features Cyberglyphics on both sides of the wings/fusion cannon, which translate to his own name. He also comes with a card, with the glyphs being decoded as "ENERGON", while the back features a piece (which includes Megatron) for the 6-part "Mission to Cybertron" poster.

:The figure also saw release in Japan, also as a Toys"R"Us exclusive (''stealth'' Megatron), without any changes from the American release. This mold was also used to make ''Generations'' [[Dreadwing (G2)#Generations|Dreadwing]] and ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Krok (G1)#Timelines|Krok]].

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

:Released in the second wave of ''Premier Edition'' Voyagers, Megatron transforms from robot to Cybertronian jet. It is armed with a weapon resembling the [http://www.higgins-collection.org/artifacts/1605 Ikakalaka] weapon, and it can be stored on the robot's back which also can end up under the cockpit in jet mode if left place, or may be stored on the jet's top. While the fusion cannon on the right forearm is non-removable, it can be folded up against the back of his arm to replicate his ‘unarmed’ look in the movie. While the figure appears nearly black in promotional images, it's actually a metallic graphite gray with darker gunmetal gray paint applications. As with the other TLK Megatron figure, this one lacks the red facial "scar" from the film, but has red light piping in the eyes, forehead... and neck! The jet mode cockpit is also cast in transparent red. The port on the robot back/jet undercarriage is compatible with most figure flight stands. The jet mode lacks any sort of landing gear. There is a minor variant, in regards to the Decepticon symbol. While the stock photos and vast majority of the release feature the Decepticon symbol as it appears with its movie styling, some copies have been found sporting the traditional Decepticon logo, with the difference being in the eyes.

:Some stock photos depict Megatron's sword handle as being an unpainted red, however the final release and later stock photos have it the same color as the rest of the sword. The stock renders also depict the sword's bladed section and several body details being painted silver.

:The figure saw release in Japan as a Toys"R"Us exclusive. As with most Wave 2 Deluxes and Voyagers, Megatron's release was delayed in some territories, leading to [[Toy scalping|scalping]] on the aftermarket.

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

:Part of the first wave of ''Premier Edition'' Leader Class figures, Megatron changes from Cybertronian jet to robot and back. He includes a large sword-axe which can store on his back in robot mode, and on the top of his jet in his vehicle form. In addition, he also comes with two flame effects which can plug into his turbine exhausts in jet mode or his arm-mounted fusion cannon in robot mode. On the back of his head there is a lever that can be pulled up to rotate a portion of his head, and close in the tusks to form his battle mask. In jet mode, he has an opening cockpit and his nosecone can be opened up to expose the fusion cannon by the push of a button right behind the cockpit. Because this action is spring-loaded and the two halves of the nosecone are made of soft plastic, it does not hold together well.

:Of all the Megatron toys above, this Leader Class figure bears the largest jet mode in the lineup.

:His battle axe was redecoed as a promotional campaign item, which used gold chrome. In 2018, Megatron is released along with either 1) [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#CaliburOP|Calibur Optimus Prime]] as part of the "Optimus Prime VS Megatron" set, or 2) [[Berserker#The Last Knight|Berserker]] and [[Nitro Zeus#The Last Knight|Decepticon Nitro]] as part of the "Decepticon Set". Both sets are exclusive to Takara Tomy Mall.

:''Turbo Change Series'' Megatron is essentially a re-release of the Turbo Changer figure with new packaging. Like most of the wave's Turbo Changers, Megatron is likely to feature a pin on the legs that is used to activate the second Battle Command Optimus Prime toy's gimmicks.

:In 2019, the toy was given away free for the school kids who attended the [https://art.parco.jp/parcomuseum/detail/?id=168 ”The World Of Transformers” Exhibition] held at the Parco Museum in Ikebukuro from March 15th to Monday, April 1st, 2019.

**''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''SS-11'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[July 28]], 2018
**''Accessories:'' "Forest Fight" backdrop (1st version)
{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:''[[Studio Series]]'' Megatron transforms into a Cybertronian tank and is generally more accurate to his appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen''. It features a flip-out sword for his [[death-lock pincer]] with an articulated thumb sticking out of the side to make up for his lack of a right hand, as well as side turrets for his tank mode. His tank mode is ''mostly'' accurate to the film, however, it does not include its wings. The figure also includes a cardboard backdrop depicting the forest battle in ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

:The lower rear leg panels fall off very easily due to pegs being molded too short. Due to transformation, Megatron is left with a glaringly hollow robot mode if viewed from the sides; this problem can be somewhat rectified by gently forcing the turrets downward.

:While some [[Toy Fair]] [[Toy Fair 2018|2018]] painted samples showed Megatron with a dark, metallic color scheme, the final product features light grey plastic. Likewise, the CG stock render depicts Megatron having brighter & dull gold parts instead of the final product's bronze, and his pair of turrets is depicted as being molded in black, among other minor deco differences, including a Decepticon symbol on his left shoulder that was omitted. The sword on the render is also bent impossibly far upwards, clipping into the rest of his cannon arm.

:Unsurprisingly, the [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/archive/1/16/20180531120445%21StudioSeries-13-MV2-Voyager-Megatron.jpg stock photo] featured on many websites don't have the feet fully transformed (making them look long and flat). As shown in the accurately-transformed figure to the right: his toes have the capability to split in two; the back half of the foot must be folded down for accuracy; and the kibble that forms his face-guard in tank mode helps balance the feet out. Speaking of feet: the small wheel on Megatron's right foot in the CG stock render is molded in the same light gray color, while the other small wheels are molded in the same color as the treads.

:Later issues of this mold have a problem with the left ankle - the pin holding it in place with the shin is inserted too far on the inside. With some figures, this issue severely affects the posability of the left leg. Another as-of-yet unidentified issue in the right leg can also cause the right front treads to lift high off the ground in tank mode, which can be annoying.

:In a rather ''bizarre'' case of parts reuse, several of this figure's parts (notably the arm joints and the hip pieces) were also used for ''Studio Series'' Leader Class [[Shockwave (Movie)#Studio Series|Shockwave]], whereas his chest piece was also used for ''Studio Series'' Voyager Class Megatron in his body from the 2007 film (see below).

:Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', this ''Studio Series'' Megatron is a redeco and retool of the figure above, featuring a metallic shade of plastic with some paint wash details, multiple parts casted in a very dark grey and metallic plastic, and a new damaged head representing his injuries from Optimus Prime at the end of the movie. The figure includes a cardboard backdrop depicting the [[Operation: Firestorm]] desert battle.

:The figure was first stocked by Hong Kong online shops without any prior announcement from Hasbro. In March, the [http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=169340646 figure was listed in Toys"R"Us Canada's online store]. Around the same time, the figure was released as a Target exclusive in the US. It later saw a re-release by Target in late 2021.

**''Accessories:'' Cloak, chains, shotgun, [[Igor#Studio Series|Igor]] minifigure, "[[Namibia|Serengeti Hideout]]" backdrop

:This ''Studio Series'' Megatron transforms into a licensed Mack M915 Line-Haul Replacement Tractor and is accurate to his appearance in ''Dark of the Moon'', complete with a new cloak accessory and chains. He also comes with a shotgun, a minifigure of [[Igor]], and a cardboard backdrop display depicting the Decepticon camp in [[Namibia]], [[Africa]]. The Igor figure can plug into small pegs behind his head in robot mode or on the truck mode's trailer.

:Megatron's shot gun can store underneath the cab of the truck or on his robot back using a small peg. The shotgun is actually molded in beige plastic and then completely coated with gunmetal and silver paint for increased screen-accuracy. Care should be taken when tabbing in his shotgun to his hand as the hand's rubbery plastic can strip away the gun's paint, especially if left there for prolonged periods of time. While only the right hand is molded to be able to hold it via 5 mm post, a small peg near the handle allows him to wield the shotgun in his left hand by plugging it into a gap on his thumb, though it takes some fiddling with his fingers (which are also molded in soft plastic) to make it look presentable.

:It can be difficult to get enough clearance in truck mode for the cab's rear wheels to roll freely, as the chest pieces hang very low to the ground when in alternate mode. In addition, due to the sheer length of the truck mode and the internal forces from plastic tolerances, it can be difficult to get all ten wheels on the ground at once. The peg that connects the truck frame together in prevents his left calf from sliding completely flush into his leg, but this does not affect posability.

:The rubber chains take a bit of stretching to properly attach. Some orientations are easier to hook on than others, and the order of operations can also make it easier or harder to get all four eyelets hooked in place. As a result of the transformation, the truck cab is noticeably hollow, and cannot pivot at the trailer connection. As the front grills/spikes are molded in soft plastic, the pieces may warp in robot mode, in and out of package.

:Presumably as a result of being accidentally assigned to the wrong toy during the same photo shoot, the Hasbro stock photos of Megatron depict [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]]'s cane as an accessory, rather than Jetfire's own stock photos.

:Planned as a [[Transformers: Universal Studios|Universal Studios]] exclusive, this Megatron is a redeco of the Leader Class figure above, featuring an entirely gray body meant to resemble the Megatron meet and greet in Universal Studios. Unlike the previous ''Studio Series'' Leader Class figure, he does not come with the cloak accessory or the minifigure of Igor. His backdrop depicts the door and queue area where the Megatron performer exits and greets park guests.

:Though we're not ''entirely'' sure whether "As Seen In Parks Megatron" is indeed supposed to be the toy's official name, the "As Seen In Parks" descriptor ''is'' featured in the same location where other ''Studio Series'' toys have their prefixes, such as "[[Stinger (AOE)#Studio Series|Decepticon Stinger]]", "[[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#Studio Series|Autobot Ratchet]]", "[[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS26|WWII Bumblebee]]" or "[[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS27|Clunker Bumblebee]]", plus it's what the official [[Hasbro Pulse]] listing calls the figure, so...

**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[March 28]], [[2020]]
**''Accessories:'' Flail, "Mission City Battle" backdrop
:This Voyager Megatron sculpt is based on his body from the 2007 film, transforming into a Cybertronian jet and drawing some engineering cues from his [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' figure]]. Like his wave-mate [[Soundwave (ROTF)/toys#Studio Series|Soundwave]], he's slathered in metallic silver paint. As such, exercise some caution if you don't want to get them scratched from handling.

:Confusingly, his chest is redecoed from that of his initial ''Revenge of the Fallen'' ''Studio Series'' figure, making it inaccurate to its appearance in the 2007 film. In a bizarre reversal of this, Megatron's CG model render on the front of the packaging depicts his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' head photoshopped onto his 2007 chest and body. As a byproduct of his transformation scheme, his knee joints are placed extremely far back on his legs, resulting in unsightly gaps in some poses. Due to being hinge joints, the heel panels are ''sometimes'' not strong enough to support the weight of the figure.

:Due to it's transformation, the jet mode's fuselage is rather visually compromised, consisting of robot kibble instead of accurate detailing. The jet lacks his distinctive exposed head as well as the top spikes on the ends of his wings, though the latter may be [[for safety reasons]]. As he has no landing gear, the jet rests on Megatron's torso, which may scratch the paint. He does possess a 3mm stand port for jet mode, but unfortunately it is difficult to access.

:This figure's flail, attached using a [[mushroom joint]], differs from those of his previous Leader Class and ''Masterpiece'' toys; it uses a proper spiked head rather than repurposing one of his hands and is connected using two separate chains sculpted from a somewhat flexible material. The flail's chain assembly features a [[5_mm_post|5 mm post]] on each side for storage in jet mode and a special tab that is shaped to fit a slot in either of Megatron's wrists while his hands are folded, though its width also makes it compatible with most 5 mm ports. Unfortunately, he does not come equipped with his fusion cannon.

:Lastly, he comes with backdrop display depicting the Battle of [[Mission City]].

:Like the rest of the Voyager figures in the same wave, Megatron first saw release in Hong Kong independent stores.

:This ''Studio Series'' figure of Galvatron is a Voyager Class figure, transforming into a licensed 2012 Freightliner Argosy. Like the original Voyager Class figure from 2014, he has truck kibble on his robot mode due to the impossible to emulate transformation on-screen; despite this, he comes out looking much cleaner in robot mode compared to his 2014 figure, even managing to replicate the back of his torso grinder and featuring (small) sculpted-in arm blades! Unfortunately, his feet form ''very'' noticeable kibble on his truck mode's trailer hitch as a trade-off.

:He comes with his cannon and a rocket cluster. The cannon is designed to be used in his right hand. In vehicle mode, it can be stored under the truck using a slot in the left foot, but has no robot mode storage (officially). The rockets store in his chest in robot mode and under the cab in truck mode.

:Omitted from the instructions but shown in his Instagram reveal, the rocket cluster can peg into his arms or the sides of his truck mode. Undocumented by either, the cannon sports another tab that also allows it to peg into his arm or the sides of the truck.

:Don't forget to rotate his head when transforming to truck mode, otherwise the roof will not sit flush.

:Like all ''Studio Series'' figures in the Deluxe class and above, he comes with a backdrop, which depicts the chase in [[Hong Kong]] for the [[Seed]].

:Galvatron sports a several differences between his digital render and the final product, notably the sculpting on the upper parts of his torso panel and the stripes on his forehead (which ended up almost completely removed), as well as additional paint apps that did not make it to release.

**''Accessories'': "[[Fusion cannon|Weapon Blaster]]", chain whip, "[[AllSpark#Masterpiece Movie Series|Allspark Cube]]"

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece Movie Series]]'' Megatron is a large (12" tall), complex, mostly screen-accurate mold, and for the first time in ''years'' is based on his appearance in the 2007 film rather than the sequels, transforming into a Cybertronian jet mode in 50 steps. He features [[die-cast]] in his feet and multiple pieces in his back. Both of Megatron's weapon gimmicks are based on his removable hands: he includes a rubber "chain" piece which can connect either hand to its wrist to represent his flail in the film, albeit closer to the [[Rocket Claw]], as the flail end in the film is not his hand. The "Weapon Blaster", as the box calls it, can plug into a single wrist in its smaller "handgun" form, or into both wrists in its extended "[[fusion cannon]]" form. His blaster can also plug into the chain in order to represent the flail head, albeit oversized and lopsided. Although his hands have nowhere else to store when removed, they do ''not'' need to be removed for transformation, and both weapons have dedicated storage in robot and vehicle modes, with the blaster usefully filling out the jet's rear end. He also includes a silver-painted [[AllSpark#Masterpiece Movie Series|AllSpark]] cube containing die-cast, which, under a removable portion of his chest, can fit into his red translucent innards to represent his death at the end of the film. Like several other ''Masterpiece Movie Series'' figures, he has an articulated jaw. His transformation scheme allows his wings to be unfurled in robot mode, representing the brief scene in the movie when he carried Jazz to a rooftop before killing him.

:Megatron was revealed and released alongside MPM-9 [[Jazz (Movie)#Masterpiece Movie Series|Autobot Jazz]], as the two can replicate Jazz's death from the 2007 film.

:Megatron's head is based on a unfinalized model that was often used in previsualization material in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' and ''Dark of the Moon''. This is especially noticable as it lacks Cybertronian text on the back of his head, as well as excessive material around the sides of his head and his crown.<ref>[https://youtu.be/AtU_I4Wdg_c Unfinalized 2007 Megatron CGI model used for animatic clips throughout the first three films.]</ref>

'''Two years after the "Bumblebee incident", Agent Simmons faces his greatest challenge: proving that the movie is still a prequel and not a reboot.'''

==Plot==
In [[1989]], a [[Sector Seven|Sector 7]] convoy is passing through [[Half Dome National Monument]]. While Agent [[Seymour Simmons|Simmons]] is growing irritated with the song on the radio, his superior Agent [[Danny Bell|Bell]] chides him that he needs to relax more. Suddenly, an explosion rocks the vehicle, having been the target of an [[Transformer|enormous robot]]'s laser blaster. The shooter identifies himself as [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and demands the humans return what is rightfully the [[Decepticon]]s'. As the convoy continues to take heavy fire, multiple troops step out and attempt to shoot back, but their weapons are no match for Soundwave. Simmons asks the injured Bell what to do, but Bell refuses to reveal their mission orders, as they are classified and strictly "need-to-know", and passes out. With Bell now unconscious, command falls to the frazzled Simmons, who asks their driver to get Bell a medic and radio HQ. Establishing contact, Simmons gives HQ a sitrep and requests backup, believing the robot won't blow them up for risk of damaging whatever they have that he wants. HQ assumes this to be "the payload", catching Simmons off guard, as he believed they were only transporting troops. HQ refuses to admit what the payload is, only that it needs to be delivered to "[[Area 52 (Movie)|The Igloo]]" and must be protected at all costs. HQ further warns them that the payload should not be activated under any circumstance, and that they will not be able to send any backup before hanging up.

[[File:Sector7 adventures soundwave's cassettes.jpg|250px|thumb|left]]
Before Soundwave can continue his assault, he is attacked by a new arrival: [[Autobot]] B-127, AKA [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. The two get into a fistfight, Soundwave goading Bumblebee with accusations of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s cowardice and declarations that the Decepticons will soon control [[Earth]]. Soundwave deploys [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]], [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]], and [[Rumble (ROTF)|Rumble]], who quickly overtake Bumblebee, and he attempts to convince the Autobot to join him in his search to find [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and the [[AllSpark]]. Fortunately, [[Brawn (ROTF)|Brawn]] arrives to lend Bumblebee a hand, knocking Rumble into the distant rock formation with a mighty punch. The odds now evened, the two Autobots begin to fight back as Soundwave demands to know why Bumblebee refuses to respond, only to realize that he cannot due to losing his voice. Disguested by his weakness, Soundwave rescinds his offer.

Hiding behind cover, Simmons is impressed by the coolheadedness of his driver, who introduces herself as Agent [[Netta March]]. March warns him that their ammo is running low and their losses are increasing, and suggests the use of the payload. Simmons protests, as they are under orders and don't know what it does anyway, but March reminds him this is a crisis and they need strong leadership. Simmons finally acquiesces and dashes towards the truck containing the payload. Soundwave targets Simmons, preparing to blast him, but is prevented thanks to a shot from Bumblebee. Simmons enters the truck, discovering the payload to be an alien device of unknown origin. He presses the control panel and the payload activates, causing the warring robots to go haywire as they lose control of their transformations. Taking advantage of the gap in the battle, Simmons orders the convoy to quickly retreat, getting back on the road towards their destination. March congratulates Simmons for saving them, while Simmons admits he felt wrong disobeying orders and declares that he will be strictly by-the-book from now on, dedicating himself to eliminating the Transformer threat. March suggests the possibility some of the robots might be potential forces for good, but Simmons laughs it off, unaware their convoy now includes a green and yellow jeep with an Autobot [[insignia]] on its bumper...

At the Igloo, deep beneath Sector 7's [[Hoover Dam]] base, Simmons is met by facility director [[Tom Banachek|Agent Banachek]], who thanks him for the successful delivery of the payload. Knowing Simmons has questions, Banachek leads him further into the base, explaining that what he is about to see is top-secret. Banachek notes that Half Dome is the second encounter Simmons has had with the alien robots, the first being his time serving under [[Jack Burns|Agent Burns]] during the "[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee incident]]". After those events, Banachek explains, Sector 7 took control of the aliens' antenna device and began reverse engineering it into a weapon that could be used against them, though neither side knew what exactly it could do until Simmons activated it. Simmons takes responsibility for disobeying orders, but Banachek confirms Sector 7 doesn't fault him given the circumstances. He admits this isn't the first encounter Sector 7 has had with giant robots, and that the Igloo has been designed to hide their organization from the Transformers' sensors, with Simmons realizing there is something else they want to stay hidden. Opening a door, Banachek reveals to Simmons the "Ice Man", a massive Transformer frozen in ice, noting the catastrophic threat he would pose should he ever be freed from his frozen prison.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
Various references are made to both the ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' film and 2007's ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' in order to further tie their events together:
* The comic shows the origins of Agent Simmons' obsession with the Transformers, as seen in the 2007 film.
* Agent Simmons isn't a big fan of [[L. W. Wilder|authority figures]] and their super secret [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|"classified"]] BS.
* Soundwave acknowledges [[Shatter]] and [[Dropkick (Movie)|Dropkick]]'s deaths and their failed attempt to contact the Decepticon Empire, as depicted in ''Bumblebee''.
* Brawn is present on Earth, indicating he was among the Autobots who arrived shortly after Optimus in the first mid-credits scene of ''Bumblebee''.
* Soundwave mentions that he made a bet with [[Blitzwing (BB)|Blitzwing]] to see which of them could reduce a human into at least one kilounit of water. Since the ''Bumblebee'' movie threw the ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee Movie Prequel|Bumblebee Movie Prequel]]'' comic out the window and left us with no explanation as to how Blitzwing made it to Earth that was compatible with the film's backstory, it is possible that, based off this statement, Blitzwing was a crew member on the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]''.
* After the battle, Agent March suggests Simmons wear a T-shirt with the S7 symbol. Evidently, he took this very seriously, as he was seen wearing exactly that in the 2007 film.
* Tom Banachek, Sector Seven's director in the 2007 film, appears in the comic's final act.
* Banachek explains that the payload is a repurposed version of the device Shatter and Dropkick attempted to use to contact the Decepticons during the climax of ''Bumblebee''.
* And of course, the comic concludes on the reveal of the "Ice Man", AKA Megatron, frozen under Hoover Dam as he was in the 2007 film. According to ''Bumblebee'' director [[Travis Knight]], an early cut of the film featured a similar tease as a post-credits scene, but it was removed from the final cut.

===Transformers references===
* Like the other Cybertronians in this comic, Laserbeak and Rumble's designs are influenced by their [[Decepticon Mini-Cassette|Generation 1 namesakes]], right down to the cassette tape alternate modes. Though, most of Rumble's body parts seem to have been lifted from multiple areas within the franchise. His arms are from [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]], his legs are from [[Jazz_(Movie)|Jazz]], his chest is from [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], his head is ''very'' similar to [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]'s, and his shoulders are from ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]].
* Simmons describes the Transformers as "[[Robots in Disguise (disambiguation)|robots in disguise]]".
* When Simmons calls for retreat, he orders the troops to "[[roll out]]".
* At the end of the battle, Agent March asks Simmons if there could be "[[More than Meets the Eye (disambiguation)|more than meets the eye]]" to the giant robots.

===Real-world references===
*Soundwave quotes the Decepticon laureate [[Twainwreck]], a reference to American author [[Mark Twain]]. The quote itself is reference to a common misquotation of Twain's response when told by a reporter of a rumor that he had been gravely ill and died.

===Errors===
*Brawn somehow transforms to vehicle mode and follows the retreating troops despite the activation of the payload, and even manages to do so with nobody noticing.

===Trivia===
* The comic was produced by [[Avalanche Comics Entertainment]] and was released in two forms: as a [[Pack-in material|pack-in]] with the physical release of ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', and as a motion comic included among the film's bonus features, animated by [[THINKWELL MEDIA]].
* There are some differences between the motion comic version and the print version, such as the motion comic omitting or making minor edits to several lines of dialogue present in the print version. Most notably, the physical book ends with the shot of Brawn's bumper, making all the scenes with Simmons and Banachek at Hoover Dam exclusive to the motion comic.
* Rumble is [[Rumble (ROTF)#IDW movie comics|still]] [[FIRRIB|blue]].

===Motion comic credits===
====Credited voice actors====
* [[Sara Beil]] as Agent [[Netta March|March]]
* [[Matt Lambro]] as Agent [[Danny Bell|Bell]] and [[Brawn (ROTF)|Brawn]]

[[File:TLK Onslaught concept.jpg|thumb|right|upright=2.2|Big Green Dead?]]
As leader of the [[Combaticon (ROTF)|Combaticon]]s, '''Onslaught''' is a genius when it comes to strategy. While this tactical skill is his most impressive asset, he's more proud of the fact that he's so much bigger than his peers. In true Decepticon fashion, Onslaught likes to show off his brawn by bullying smaller foes.

When he is provoked into being violent,<ref>''The Last Knight'' TRF [https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/decepticon-casefiles-roundup-with-the-best-look-yet-at-mowhawk-dreadbot-and-others/38370/ prisoner dossier bios]</ref> he combines with his fellow Combaticons to form the mighty [[Bruticus Maximus (ROTF)|Bruticus Maximus]].

[[File:TF-TLK-Onslaught-you-need-a-bigger-door.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|Big Green! Get in here.]]
Onslaught was among the Decepticons in [[Transformers Reaction Force|TRF's]] custody. When the TRF opted to work with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and release some Decepticons to be part of his "crew", among Megatron's first choices was none other than [[Berserker]]. However, Berserker was deemed too dangerous, so Megatron had to settle for Onslaught, who needed high level clearance to be released. When released, he angrily bemoaned the small size of the TRF's doors, which he could not fit through. However, he ''was'' able to get his cannon through said door.

[[File:TF-TLK-Onslaught-death.jpg|right|upright=1.33|thumb|Looks like Berserker picked the right day to call in sick.]]
Onslaught joined the Decepticons on their hunt for [[Cade Yeager]], and followed his leader to the human's scrap yard and then to a nearby town. They were met with some not-quite-unexpected resistance in the form of the Autobots [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], and [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]] and damaged in a trap set by Yeager. He attempted to catch the fugitive human but was ambushed by Drift and Crosshairs. He first lost his leg and took several shots in the chest before finally losing his "fat head" to Drift's sword.

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Onslaught is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Barricade (Energon)#Energon|Barricade]], transforming into an eight-wheeled armored personnel carrier with a rear-mounted (non-firing) missile rack that turns and elevates. He was available with the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bruticus Maximus giftset, and when combined with the other Combaticons, Onslaught forms the torso. Almost every Onslaught also has a paint error on the right robot knee, in that there is no paint around the hole immediately below the knee, where there ''is'' paint on the left one. This error is also evident in the box photos for the individual robot mode, but not the combined mode, curiously. ONSLT and C5 (a reference to the original Onslaught's team ID number) are tampographed on the hood of Onslaught's vehicle mode.

:He was also [[retool]]ed into ''[[Transformers Timelines (fiction)|Timelines]]'' [[Heatwave (Timelines)#Heatwave|Heatwave]] and is indistinguishable from ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Onslaught (G1)#BrutMaxSet|Onslaught]], including the paint error.

==Notes==
* For his appearance in ''The Last Knight'', Onslaught employed a retooled version of [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]]'s model, complete with new weaponry and Western Star 4900SF tow truck kibble replacing the original dump truck parts.
** According to an Instagram post from [[Josh Nizzi]], Onslaught and Long Haul are [[twin]] [[Relatives|brother]]s, justifying why they share a body-type. However, this little tidbit has not been referenced in any official media.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Onslaught, the twin brother of Long Haul.|link=https://www.instagram.com/p/BX3g_imj9sG/|name=Josh Nizzi|site=instagram|year=2017|month=08|day=16}}</ref>
* ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Onslaught was developed independently of the on-screen character, yet shares the same article for simplicity and because both of them are based off [[Onslaught (G1)|Generation 1 Onslaught]].
* During Onslaught's one line of dialogue, he appears to have an alternate mouth design based off [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]'s (compared to what is seen during the rest of his screen-time) to accommodate the exaggerated words.
* According to his TRF prisoner dossier bio, Onslaught was developing a new weapon called The Decapitator prior to being released, presumably the large claw he wields in the film.
* The Western Star 4900SF used to portray Onslaught in ''The Last Knight'' was returned to Daimler Trucks North America's headquarters in [[Portland]], Oregon, where it was put to work towing other trucks.<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/167009-onslaught-is-alive-and-well-in-portland-or/?p=3962971|name=Poster|site=The Allspark forums|defunct=yes}}</ref>
